It seems when I am on youtube, occasionally, my computer randomly logs out. It used to be that X would just crash, but now it is logging out. I have tried both the open source and restricted drivers for my graphics card, but the same problem occurs. [00:05] Evil_Lu: after you don't need help... cause you are too good [00:05] <|Juan|> I have a main user whos session I keep always open. Then I have a second user for anyone else who wants to use the computer. Since I upgraded to Hardy, whenever the second user logs in after my user's session is locked, it comes to a point when that second user is taken to the gdm screen, re-authenticates and continues with its session while mine is killed. [00:06] ThaBla420 =: you need to convert them to wav [00:06] @ bdog cat /dev/hidrawX > keylog.log :) only as root [00:06] wut i use to do that [00:06] WalloO: I ain't that good, or I'd not be here asking a question that nobody seems to be able to answer ;) [00:06] candive, pixelbeat.org/cmdline.html [00:06] my tar's are > 12GB in size :s [00:06] ThaBla420 k3b and there is an addon in the repos [00:06] dats wut i am usin ne thing special i am supposed to be doni [00:06] Evil_Lu i have the same proble eh eh what's your question? [00:07] <|Juan|> I have a main user whos session I keep always open. Then I have a second user for anyone else who wants to use the computer. Since I upgraded to Hardy, whenever the second user logs in after my user's session is locked, it comes to a point when that second user is taken to the gdm screen, re-authenticates and continues with its session while mine is killed. [00:07] Evil_Lu: everybody here ask question... there is no guaranty there is someone to answer... :) [00:07] <|Juan|> ive beeing asking mine for 2 weeks [00:07] lol [00:07] <|Juan|> posted in the forums, etc [00:07] phomea: since an update this morning on Hardy 2.6.24-17-generic, with new headers etc, my laptop (acer aspire 7720) has constant light on AboSamoor the hard disk led and seems to be cycling all the time. Would there be a reason for this? [00:07] _Net: there is something wrong on line 28. the same uuid you get that error on. what you can try is comment out that line in fstab by placing a # at beginning og line. then reboot [00:07] ThaBla420, do u want to make audio cd or data cd containing mp3s? [00:08] audio cd [00:08] sorry, irssi just added people's names in [00:08] how to i change the color of the text in the panel [00:08] damn terminal irc isn't ALWAYS a good idea [00:08] Why is apt-get/aptitude's interface so damn ugly compared to pacman, zypper, yum, etc? I'm talking about output. [00:08] |Juan|: You can try using two X11. Maybe it can help you. [00:08] _net sorry line 26 is wrong [00:08] murlidhar, thank you again [00:08] anyone good with tar? [00:08] <|Juan|> WalloO, please explain [00:08] <_Net> Yea. line 24 was gentoo, I removed gentoo but its still looking for it. [00:08] <_Net> I'll try commenting it [00:08] candive, my pleasure [00:08] Evil_Lu, i think there is a problem with the ACPI, try to switch that to off [00:09] AboSamoor: I need the acpi on, sorry, didn't mean to grab your name in that paste :) [00:09] _net well line 26 is the uuid number the error message refers to. right? [00:09] <_Net> Yes. [00:09] Az: you are extracting single files from 12GB tar files? ;) you know that tar is the tape archiver and is optimized for linear processing... everything out of order is slow... there is no way around it [00:10] _Net: ok comment out that line and try it [00:10] i have a problem- clicking on an icon in the "workspace switcher applet" no longer switches to that workspace [00:10] |Juan| you can have two X11 server running at the same time. One as :0.0 and one as :1.0. If you can start these two sessions, then, it may work, since the system do not have to deal with different sessions on the same X11 server. Changing user never work on my computer. It's not something really stable. [00:10] <_Net> Ok. Restarting. [00:10] Evil_Lu, have you tried to stop the disk just to see. [00:10] <|Juan|> WalloO, do you have a link explaining the procedure [00:11] If I stop the disk then I won't have an operating system running. [00:11] i need a cool wallpaper [00:11] :p [00:11] apophis_ch.. yep ;) im going to have to switch [00:11] hi there [00:11] doubled: try google, I hear it's fantastic [00:11] zip or rar? [00:11] |Juan|, sorry, I don't, since it may need to deal with starting your system. [00:12] <_Net> legend2440: Awesome it worked like a charm. Thanks. Now If I want to install gentoo, should uncomment that or just leave? [00:12] Evil_Lu but there is a new update to kernel -18 ?! you may try it [00:12] try a startx :1.0 or something like that just to see. [00:12] Az filesystems are good for single files ;) [00:12] Then ctrl+alt+F7 to come back [00:12] doubled, maybe gnome-look.org or customize.org would help u [00:12] I am having trouble with my NVIDIA (nvidia-glx 96.43.05) driver being able to detect all of the modes (of resolution) of my monitor. My monitor can go as high as 1920x1080, but the driver is only auto-detecting 640x480 and 320x240... Does anyone have any ideas??? [00:12] doubled, http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper/index.php?sort=date [00:12] psramka, only one monitor? [00:12] _Net: not sure doesn't gentoo set up the partitions for you upon installation? [00:12] Evil_Lu, stoping the disk doesn't mean unmounting it... just ask it to stop rotating... if necessary it may restart [00:12] <|ns|nR8> psramka, install nvidia-settings [00:13] how do you change the color of the text in the panel ie. 'Applications','Places','System'; [00:13] apophis_ch: I have two monitors, but I have the trouble even when I only use the one... [00:13] guys i just go an "Easy TV USB" device [00:13] i did lsub [00:13] and the device id [00:13] WalloO: I'm not sure how to do that? I tried hdparm -B 255 etc.. a few things after reading Google and forums [00:13] is [00:13] Evil_Lu, wait... I look for the command... it's very simple... [00:13] is there anyone that can please help me with my sound issue? [00:14] |ns|nR8: I did install nvidia-settings... it won't recognize higher than 640 x 480 [00:14] the device ID is eb1a:2881 [00:14] i did modprobe "em28xx" [00:14] it would be appriciated [00:14] <_Net> legend2440: Ya I think so. I'll give it another try to install it [00:14] but i don't see a new device file on /dev [00:14] psramka, :) I know have the same problem... even though on Ati ... [00:14] thx candive [00:14] how do you change the color of the text in the panel ie. 'Applications','Places','System'; [00:14] doubled, my pleasure [00:15] <|ns|nR8> psramka, did you set monitor type in nvidia-settings [00:15] generally i would like to just have a list of archives, for portability and manageability, most of the time i wouldnt need to extract individual files, but testing it today i realised how slow it really is [00:15] |ns|nR8: How do you set the monitor type? [00:15] _Net: you can leave that line commented. at worst you will have that line rewritten by gentoo . then you can delete that commented line if you want to [00:15] <|ns|nR8> run nvidia-settings [00:15] doubled, one more http://www.socwall.com/browse/index.php?wpCategory=Everything&wpSubcategory=All&wpLimit=9&wpSortby=0&wpFilter=3&wpQueryType=0&wpMarker=1 [00:15] Evil_Lu, sudo sg_start --stop /dev/sdb you need to install sg_start (use synaptic). Change to sda or other as needed. I use it to stop may noisy HD with Windows everytime I start my session [00:15] why does linux with nvidia restricted drivers run at 59hz but windows runs it at 60hz? === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [00:15] <_Net> legend2440: Ya thats true I was thinking it might [00:15] schmitty system > preferences > appearance [00:15] WalloO: Thanks - I shall do this [00:15] how do you get to a command prompt? [00:15] _Net: ok good luck [00:16] thats perfect candive, thx :D [00:16] <_Net> legend2440: Thanks for your help :) [00:16] out-izzy open terminal [00:16] Az, if you rarely use it, just stick with it, normally its not worth to change a runnnin system if not really needed [00:16] out-izzy, applications > accessories > terminal [00:16] anyone know a command to show which font the console is using? [00:16] unavailable: i don't see colors in there, all i c is font style [00:16] so if i wanted to install my wireless card driver, i would do it through that? [00:16] hi all [00:16] ill be waiting all day to extract a 100kb doc from a 12gb tar archive though :) [00:17] psramka, I had this problem. It suck big time... Fortunately, I had a saved xorg.conf. After everything worked well. [00:17] yeh i might just stick with it though [00:17] schmitty thats not the right answer to your question [00:18] do you have the correct one? [00:18] |ns|nR8: There is not option to "set the monitor type" in nvidia-settings [00:18] shouldnt take all day long ... 12 GB at 40MB/s ... should not take longer than 300 seconds or 5 minutes... [00:18] do i install hardware drivers through the terminal? [00:18] !flood [00:18] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [00:18] ~gnome [00:18] psramka, do you want a working xorg.conf for 1024x768? it may help you after to set everything right [00:18] apophis_ch - haha [00:19] Why when I start up Ubuntu does my sound mute itself? [00:19] schmitty, that area really isnt part of the "panel" per se, and Im not sure you CAN change the textual colors there - I'm checking in gnome-config and gnome control panel right now to see if you can [00:19] mortis: turn the sound up [00:19] No know this [00:19] then run alsactrl save [00:19] I'm saying, I like hearing that catchy log on sound though :( [00:19] if I make my own spin of Ubuntu with Reconstructor, and then modify it further, can I call it something other than Ubuntu? [00:19] right [00:19] But Ubuntu mutes itself after it boot [00:19] boots* [00:19] mortis: do what i said [00:19] I did. [00:19] <|ns|nR8> psramka, yes there is..X server display configuration [00:19] -_- [00:19] boot , run alsactrl save [00:19] you did? [00:19] Wait what? [00:19] how do i use wine? [00:19] right [00:19] msg ubottu etiquette [00:19] WallO: When I use the other monitor, I can get 1024x768 to work fine... The problem is not with the xorg.conf file, but with the driver not auto-detecting the proper resolutions available from monitor [00:20] kkathman: how do you get to gnome-config or gnome control panel? [00:20] LesserRemarkable, juste type wine your_exe_file [00:20] inifidelis: you forgot a / before the msg [00:20] Az, seriously! [00:20] What you told me to put in doesn't work. [00:20] type it where? [00:20] schmitty alt+f2 the gnome-config [00:20] no i know, thats what was funny about it! [00:20] :) [00:20] |ns|nR8: Yes, but I can not set a "monitor type", I can only chose from the monitors that the driver has discovered === pingu is now known as Guest61235 [00:20] yeah it didn't respond after i did it right anyway [00:21] WalloO: that sg_start didn't do a thing :) [00:21] LesserRemarkable, if wine is install, you just have to double click on the exe, like you did in windows [00:21] schmitty, the config editor should be under Applications->system tools, the controlcenter you can get to by Alt F2 and type gnome-control-center [00:21] okay... thanks [00:21] i'm sure there's something in there about not repeating my question 20 times, so i'll refrain [00:21] AmpedCanada: file couldn't be found [00:21] How do I save my sound settings? They reset everytime I boot Ubuntu [00:21] mortis: alsactrl [00:21] That doesn't work. [00:22] Evil_Lu, now we know... So the system keeps reading the hard drive.... Do you have a process which uses CPU? [00:22] does for everyone else , so no clue [00:22] Are you sure it's not something else? [00:22] kkathman: cool thankyou [00:22] mortis: i misspelled its alsactl [00:23] alsactl --save [00:23] or possibly -save [00:23] but that will do the trick [00:23] you have to adjust your sound to what you would like the default level to be first [00:23] then alstactl save [00:23] WalloO: I'mm unsure what would be using it, it's doing it when I'm "idle" as in no terminal, irssi, radio, browser, im etc [00:23] alsactl save doesn't work either [00:23] it says save is an unknown command. [00:24] mortis: alsactl storre [00:24] store* [00:24] stroe! [00:24] a [00:24] anybody knows how to setu up a Core 2 Q6600 2.$Ghz to run at 3.6Ghz quite stable?

[00:25] Overclock it and keep it cool :P [00:25] aguitel, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [00:25] I think my problem is the Firewire card itself does not work in Ubuntu. How do I verify this? [00:25] WalloO: light blinking very fast and the drive is making a noise the whole time, it's a new laptop and it's only happened since this morning [00:26] are there any plugins that work for firefox3 for adobe shockwave? === evariste is now known as gauss [00:26] apophis_ch, it'S quite cool, but after 20 minutes of cpuburn (4 at the same time) it freeze, even if the temperature is under 65° [00:26] WalloO: i will make this edit [00:26] so you probably went to high with the OC, but you can play with the Voltage... this might help [00:27] i try to configure xserver using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but it configure only keyboard, and the rest when i look xorg.conf i see "Configured Monitor", "Configured Video Device" ..etc how to configure xorg ? [00:27] And now my system sound don't work [00:27] brb [00:27] aguitel, be carefull in editing if you want to boot next time... :) [00:27] The only firewire device I have is a video camera.. and nothing happens when I plug it in and turn it on. How else can I test if a firewire card is actually working/detected? [00:27] apophis_ch, I did, but don't know the perfect combination... that's a head ack [00:27] anyone install firefox3 yet [00:28] Evil_Lu, I don't know which soft to use to know which process access the hard drive [00:28] WalloO: only the las kernel are there ( kernel 2.6.24-19-generic) [00:28] if so did your install come without a jre? [00:28] you might just have a chip sample which won't work stable at this frequency, not all chips are the same, you might have a slow silicon sample [00:28] !ping [00:28] ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [00:28] Shaba1: yes, now type about:robots in the location bar [00:28] WalloO: thanks for trying to help, it's appreciated [00:28] I'm using PIL, data=img.load(); data[i,j]=6 gives me an error "image is read only" ?? [00:29] Generally speaking, is it best to let the system updater do everything it can, or just leave well enough alone? [00:29] @ Shaba1 : ff3 works fine [00:29] ffe? [00:29] firefox 3 [00:29] can i make a custom livecd of ubuntu? [00:30] Well I am trying to connect to my desktop machine which is running vnc [00:30] I am trying to use the java port [00:30] is git-core installed by default on ubuntu? [00:30] right, I shall try and fix this again tomorrow, i need sleep, thanks for assistance, even if it's not mended, i learnt things [00:30] apophis_ch, maybe... however, I will try to find the good combination, since I improved the life time a lot with some tweaking... But when it crash, you don't know why (to much volt, not enough, and which voltage to change....) [00:30] i mean i should be able to install it on other desktops too [00:30] anyone know how to install adobe shockwave? i've tired different times using different options, and end up with the same result...not working. [00:30] Gargagaragaa [00:30] and firefox keeps telling me I need additional plugins [00:30] Everyone, keep up the excellent work. Chow. [00:30] WalloO, :) good luck experimenting [00:30] whats the package for wmv codec on ubuntu? [00:31] <|Juan|> w32codecs at medibuntu [00:31] it gives me a choice of gcj webplugin,JRE6,JRE5 and GCJ web pluging (open jdk) [00:31] wofs, shockwave, flash? you need it for firefox? [00:31] Which seems wierd [00:31] apophis_ch, I do that just for fun... I don't need 1/4 of the power of my computer when not overclocked... :) [00:31] Shaba1: jre6 [00:31] Conundrum_: echo "deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ gutsy free non-free" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list [00:31] I have install it using synaptic update manager [00:31] Shaba1, JRE5... beleive me, don'T try the 6... It has bugs with Java 2D [00:32] and firefox is still saying the same thing [00:32] Conundrum_: apt-get install non-free-codecs [00:32] you have to restart firefox, and maybe log out and log in to updfate your paths [00:32] ok thanks [00:32] WalloO: that depends on your graphics drivers. java6 uses accelerated calls where possible for much of java2d [00:32] Conundrum_: errr s/gutsy/hardy [00:32] hello [00:32] apophis_ch, shockwave. flash is working. the pulldown appears asking i need additional plugins, and i click it and can't find any, so i manually do it, and follow the sh script to install it, and still isn't working. and on top of that keeps starting in 'offline' mode. btw, this is a fresh 8.04 install. wiped and reformatted lastnight. [00:33] linxeh, I know that, and Java 5 too... But Java 6 crached my nvidia card, so I recommend the 5 [00:33] wofs, 32 bit / 64bit? [00:33] 32 [00:33] WalloO: 5 has very little in terms of acceleration, I thought none on Linux in fact [00:33] wofs, strange, no idea [00:33]  is git-core installed by default on ubuntu? [00:33] Shaba1, you have to restart firefox, and maybe log out and log in to update your paths [00:33] wofs, is it listed in about:plugins? [00:34] The only firewire device I have is a video camera.. and nothing happens when I plug it in and turn it on. How else can I test if a firewire card is actually working/detected? [00:34] emorris, i doubt it [00:34] WalloO: thats prolly why it works for people (apart from where the stuff needs java6, which is more and more common). Java5 enters end of life support this summer btw [00:34] linxeh: you are probably right. My mistake... I mixed with Windows version... [00:34] #nelug [00:34] WalloO: thanks i fixed [00:34] MasterShrek, shockwave says it's disabled. [00:35] CorpseFeeder, i assume the camera works on a different computer with firewire? [00:35] MasterShrek, **Enabled. [00:35] cxv [00:35] MasterShrek: You have assumed correctly. [00:35] CorpseFeeder: check dmesg etc [00:35] aguitel, you fixed what? [00:35] i somehow completely messed up my avant-window-navigator ... now i would like to remove all traces of it .. and then reinstall .. can someone help me? [00:35] CorpseFeeder, try lspci and see what kind of firewire it is and google if there are any problems with it [00:36] linxeh, maybe, but most of Java apps on the web are compliant with 1.3 [00:36] WalloO: haha :) [00:36] WalloO: applets maybe, but very few java aps are 1.3 or 1.4 now - most new code is all written using generics [00:36] WalloO: delete old entry in menu.lst [00:36] linxeh: I have typed dmesg and saw nothing useful. there is meaningless stuff about ieee1394 toward the end of the output and there is no change in this output with the camera on/plugged in or off/unplugged. [00:36] Why doesn't my Volume Control slider match up with the GUI? [00:37] aguitel, ha, ok. perfect.. [00:37] wofs, not sure then sorry [00:37] I'm using PIL, data=img.load(); data[i,j]=6 gives me an error "image is read only" ?? [00:37] WTF!!! why does FF keep starting in offline mode!?! [00:38] Why doesn't my Volume Control slider match up with the GUI? [00:38] linxeh, that's true... poor mac owners which can't use MacOSX10.2 with new java app... [00:38] Any network admins in here? What's the best way to keep a group of ubuntu computers updated? I already have "install security updates automagically" enabled. But I want all updates too. [00:38] wofs, https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+faq/96 [00:38] I could run a cron script. Donno if that is such a good idea.

[00:40] MasterShrek: lspci says "07:00.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB43AB22/A IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller (PHY/Link)" I can't find anything about it not working in ubuntu [00:41] linxeh, sorry, but I hate apple Policy... And I hate apple when I have to use a mac... [00:41] WalloO: heh, what do you hate with apple policy? the fact they dont support an ancient OS ? [00:41] CorpseFeeder: what camera is it ? [00:41] HAHA, even better, tired it both true and false, and it STILL starts in offlien mode...jesus....should of kept with the tried and tested.... [00:41] linxeh, oups... IBM Jre have problems... I had a bug only with IBM JRE on a calculation...very disapointing... [00:41] AtomicSpark, Cron is privileged anyway [00:42] apophis_ch, good point. ill try that. :) [00:42] hey i need answers about running sap on linux [00:42] WalloO: hmm, we use the IBM JRE on many of our servers (that's all that runs) and we don't have problems, but maybe there are bugs on particular platforms [00:42] linxeh, apple like money, and it's too much visible. And they are considering their customers as dumb ass... [00:42] ok i have a big problem i have system sounds but cant play any music i have searched everywhere that i could think forums and googled and all but i cant get it to work. will some one please help me [00:43] WalloO: shrug, I like OSX and macs :) (as well as debian, ubuntu, etc) [00:43] !codec | phillip [00:43] phillip: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [00:43] Jack_Sparrow: whenever you get time bud, I am back on [00:43] linxeh, it was on windows with ibm jre. Don't know where it come from, because it worked on all other JVM (apple, Sun, Microsoft with all versions) [00:44] linxeh: it is a Sony DCR-TRV480E [00:44] ive looked there and it makes no sense to me . im still a little green lol [00:44] WalloO: ah, we use sun Java most places, and then the IBM JVM on PPC [00:44] phillip, ok, what kind of file you want to play? [00:45] linxeh, I've one mac, I can't access my hard drive root with finder because it says "Hard drive is in use", but I do what I want on my desktop, and I can go where I want using the terminal... That not crazi? [00:45] CorpseFeeder, can you pastebin the output of dmesg |tail for me please? [00:45] well idownloaded mpegs the other day and they were working fine and now it will only play system sounds [00:46] Hello all.. someone plz recommend a good method of checking disk NTFS and/or EXT2/3 ? I have a dive that needs drive integrity and is through scan. [00:46] WalloO: I've got a linux machine at work that wont display any characters on the screen - it just draws random lines. does that mean linux sucks ? :) [00:46] tj83, chkdsk [00:46] so they worked before? but they dont work now? have looked into the mixer [00:46] MasterShrek: Do you want that both with camera plugged in and unplugged? (I think there is no difference - but what would I know, I'm only human) [00:46] WalloO: presumably an OSX reinstall didnt fix it ? [00:46] WalloO, just like in windows? what is the command? [00:46] phillip, look into the mixer / system / admin / audio [00:46] ive went everwhere that i can think of i clicked on the sount icon [00:47] CorpseFeeder, after you plug it in [00:47] linxeh, don't have time to reinstall. But in fact I don't really like OSX interface and way of working. I lose too much time doing what I want. [00:47] phillip, do you have more than one soundcard? maybe a usb headset? [00:47] how can i install libgtk1.2 [00:47] no i have a sb live card [00:48] WalloO: I can appreciate that - I swore I'd never own a mac after my experiences with OS7 / 9 and 10.1 [00:48] tj83, hmmm... maybe I mixed it with windows command. wait [00:48] ubuntu_ for compiling? [00:48] /etc/inittab needed to be changed after the test mode install [00:48] linxeh, I use one for porting software to mac. But I really don't like. [00:48] phillip, look into / system / admin / audio / try to chose the "alsa mixer" and make sure your soundblaster card is selcted [00:49] i went into system admin but there is no audio [00:49] ubuntu_ system->admin->synaptic , ctl-f (search) libgtk1.2 , if you're compiling you'll also need the -dev package [00:49] tj83, it's fsck [00:49] WalloO: for me things changed with 10.4, and especially in 10.5, but its largely familiarity that helps [00:50] hello! [00:50] ahm,... then its /system/pref/audio [00:50] linxeh, didn't saw any major difference. I still need midnight commander (mc) to manage files quickly [00:50] should really switch to the english interface *g* [00:50] I've not been able to get my Sound to work on my laptop.

[00:54] Hey guys, I'm trying to boot back into gnome to change a few settings. I installed the kubuntu-desktop package to use KDE. When I stop kdm, gdm won't start because it isn't the default session manager. I forget which config file decides what is defult. Can you point me to it? [00:54] Conundrum_ no, they get saved in /var/cache/apt/archive , up to 500mb of them [00:54] Condoulo, yes apt is very clean ;) [00:55] Mea culpa [00:55] Blackdrag, if you switch to gnome in kdm doesn't it launch gdm after [00:55] Hello, I have a network that consist of 2 laptops Jesus and Shiva (both ubuntu), a tower Yahweh (Kubuntu stores all of my media) and a PS3, Xbox 360 and a Wii.

[00:57] if you just log out of the kde environment, then you can change your session to gnome and log in again [00:57] illustrissim: Really, all I need to know is where the config file is. I realize that gnome can be loaded bother ways. I have a reason for doing this :-) [00:57] ok [00:57] or how to do it. [00:57] Is there anyway to minimize evolution to the systray?

[00:58] ? [00:58] i don't get it. [00:58] Blackdrag sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm , if I read your question right. You want to use gdm instead of kdm? [00:58] the bug is a nice example of overengeneering, instead of solvin a problem, its creating one,... [00:58] not off the top of my head, no. sorry dude [00:58] oh right. [00:59] well, that's what it is, didn't notice it until i unplugged to move around. [00:59] How do I set Monday as the first weekday in Clock (2.22.2) ?

[01:00] I like v ;) [01:00] nickrud: No, what I'm trying to do is eliminate a few problems I've had from switching over. Rather than explainign the problem in detail and causing confusion (I know how to fix it), I just want to know where the config file is that tells Ubuntu what my default session manager should be [01:00] suweid you talking to me? [01:00] I like v too [01:00] dimas869, yes [01:00] blah, like you can read it anyways.

[01:26] erik_: there is a way to change I just forget [01:26] Canageek what does df -h say about free space on that partition? [01:26] dmole how can I disable the compiz workspace switcher then? [01:26] NickRud #ubuntu-offtopic [01:26] Canageek, you may check your disk (fsck) maybe you have some issues with it [01:26] dmole even still thank you for pointing me in the right direction [01:26] erik_: you don't want to [01:26] LetsGo67 I'm not really interested, myself. Maybe someone over there is [01:27] erik_: just mak it one line [01:27] does anyone know anything about mediatomb? [01:27] Nickrud, df shows the free space df=disk free [01:27] I'm using OGMRip to rip a dvd on a 64 bit core 2 duo. however, when i look at used resources, it 16% on cpu0 and 5% at CPU1 . why so low resource usage? [01:27] erik_: just make it one line: right click property's etc [01:28] WalloO yes. He said he had space left on the disk, how about the partition? [01:28] nice you learn something new everyday. never knew about df [01:28] erik_: then turn on rotate cube in compizConfig for coolness [01:28] Nickrud, df give info on all mounted partitions [01:28] WalloO always check what the error messages says first :) [01:28] dmole my only problem there is that it makes the switcher on my panel 8 columns long [01:29] does anyone know anything about mediatomb? [01:29] taking up tons of space [01:29] nickrud, but if your partition has errors, the info may be wrong. It's why I recommend a check first< [01:29] erik_: if you look in compizConfig you will find a way to switch [01:29] dmole I thought I had found it, but that's not working either [01:29] WalloO next step, after examining the error [01:29] erik_: I know I did it once accidentally [01:29] everytime i boot my os i get a "grub hard disk error" i installed ubuntu on a hdd connected to the pci ide card(i think this is te prob) and installed grub on my main hdd how do i fix this? [01:29] has MasterShrek woken up again yet? [01:30] is there a good keystroke logger for ubuntu? [01:30] dmole did a google search and found a site that led me to the right area, but it didn't do what I wanted either [01:30] nickrud, you already checked you partitions using fsck? [01:30] WalloO not my error :) [01:31] Is there anyway (using the LiveCD) to install ubuntu without going into the Desktop Mode? [01:31] i was really surprised to see that ubuntu had my laptop's volume up/down/mute buttons working out of the box with a nice pop-up graphic. What program is actually taking care of this?

[01:33] Canageek you'll need to boot with a live cd [01:33] Tech0007: i dont think thats possible... [01:33] tech0007, so use a virtual machine. That's the only way [01:33] tech0007: you don't [01:33] conundrum : yes [01:33] virtual machine is not realy booting [01:34] knoppix or the kubuntu boot cd better for that?

[01:34] HELP: how can I solve this problem while installing libgtkmm: The following packages have unmet dependencies [01:34] WalloO: but there's no -19 yet for virtualbox, so you're all telling me there's now way to do it?

[01:54] dmsuperman: Erm, sorry, thats the name. Audacity. I dislike the program [01:54] Catron, maybe it's the xorg.conf he use to start using nvidia-settings.

[01:55] murlidhar yeah, just like it finds windows on install :) [01:55] im compiling the latest stable release of the kernel..i gave the make command..but its been going on for an hour now..i have a 1.4 GHz machine...approximately how much time does make take to complete ? [01:55] Leefmc: that's pretty much the extent of it as far as I know...more than that and you're looking at professional grade software which costs, and they usually don't make linux ports [01:55] WalloO? [01:55] dmsuperman: k [01:55] catron: I had problems myself. I just used 'envyng' and it fixed everything up. [01:55] catron, yes. [01:55] Using nvidia drivers from nvidia.com (the latest for the 7900 gs ko card) every time I reboot my computer I get low settings mode. If I stop X, reinstall the driver, then start X, it works fine until next reboot. Any ideas what could be causing it? [01:55] sc0tt_: when I last compiled a kernel (approx 1997) my 486 took around 3 hours to compile it. the kernel is somewhat bigger now :) [01:56] dmsuperman: Audacity definitely doesn't have the quality to sound, as Blender does to 3D [01:56] lin : ok..thnkx :) [01:56] Leefmc: you haven't played with it enough. Audacity is a bit confusing, but it's very powerful [01:56] dmsuperman, do not forget to save the config in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:56] Leefmc: i agree with dmsuperman on that one [01:56] dmsuperman: It causes some bad card problems a while back for a different comp for me. [01:56] sc0tt_: it depends how much you choose to include [01:56] sc0tt_: if you build everything (eg as modules) it will take a long time [01:56] nickrud: whe i want to install it it say: http://paste.ubuntu.com/21538/ [01:57] WalloO: it's not the xorg.conf, I have a very basic one that the nvidia installer generated for me [01:57] How do I set Monday as the first weekday in Clock (2.22.2) ? (It apparently has to do with me being in Sweden, but wanting to have Ubuntu in english) [01:57] dmsuperman: Horrid, bad bad joojoo. IIRC, it basically broke the audio card. [01:57] nevermind figured out what I have to do with gtkpod :) [01:57] Leefmc: give it another try, it's a great software :D [01:57] dmsuperman: Any piece of software that has that neglect, i consider bad. Note that this was neglect, because it was a known bug. [01:57] sc0tt_, i heard it sometimes takes upto 3 hours [01:57] dmsuperman, yes, but it doesn't work. I has this problem on one of my computers [01:57] anyone know a command line program to move windows around workspaces and geometry? [01:57] Leefmc: your card was probably outdated [01:57] dmsuperman: And imo, the feature or even ability to use the program, should be taken away, if they _know_ it will break the card. === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [01:57] Leefmc: you're in the wrong channel...there have been known (major) bugs in ubuntu for a while. it's a matter of time [01:57] Alex135: It was, for sure. [01:58] lin : i just copied my old copy of config file ti /usr/src/linux..and after setting few options via make gconfig..issude make [01:58] Alex135: However, is outdated hardware a reason for them to allow their software to break it? [01:58] dmsuperman: I'm in the wrong channel? [01:58] Leefmc: as with firefox, and many other open source softwares. it really depends on the community developing it [01:58] dmsuperman, I may provide you a basic working one. You will have to change screen size parameter by hand. that's it [01:58] Leefmc: well, gnome does it allot with they're display enviroment [01:58] Leefmc: if a program breaks, tough... [01:59] WalloO: when I reinstall the driver, it works. I don't modify the xorg.conf. That means, it's not the xorg.conf [01:59] Alex135: So they knowingly ignore a bug that can perma break hardware? [01:59] khajavi what do you have in your local repository? [01:59] Leefmc: not ignore...just don't have time to fix [01:59] dmsuperman, it may. give it a try [01:59] Alex135: This is a lot different than a bug that stops the program from working, i'm talking breaking hardware. [01:59] Leefmc: or if it's lesser used hardware it goes low on the priority list. It's all about priorities [01:59] leefmc: ill put it to you this way, i had an old nvidia card with 32mb of memory on it [01:59] leefmc: at the time i was running fedora [01:59] How do I get my mic working in Ubuntu 8.04? [01:59] WalloO: it's been like this on many different installs and many different Xorg.conf's, with many different drivers [01:59] lin :since i first copied my old config file to /usr/src/linux and then did make gconfig and then make, is this the same as doing make old config ? [01:59] leefmc: when i updated, the hardware accell never worked again [02:00] leefmc because nvidia and fedora stopped supporting it [02:00] does anyone here use beagle? [02:00] WalloO: it's a conflic between my hardware and the driver...but it's definitely not the xorg.conf. [02:00] well righto then, i'll accept that opensource means broken hardware.. since thats what you seem to be fighting for :p [02:00] WalloO: I've probably spent 20 total hours working on various display issues with linux + my computer [02:00] leefmc: i had to get a whole new card... but i eneded up instead getting my nice new duel core machine i have now for christmass [02:00] I want to install htb. when I compile it, its like an unknwon command (/sbin/htb.init compile) [02:00] WalloO: I've pretty much narrowed all my issues down to the nvidia driver. I fixed this current issue at one point, but I don't have a clue how I did [02:01] dmsuperman, I had such problem with my computer, and fixed it with a working xorg.conf. I propose you my xorg.conf. if you don't want to give it a try, ok. [02:01] are there some packet must be install? [02:01] Using nvidia drivers from nvidia.com (the latest for the 7900 gs ko card) every time I reboot my computer I get low settings mode. If I stop X, reinstall the driver, then start X, it works fine until next reboot. Any ideas what could be causing it? [02:01] WalloO: you could try...I'm in irssi though [02:01] dmsuperman Did you put in the specs for your monitor in the xorg? [02:01] WalloO: do you know if I can still recieve files? [02:01] dcc may worjk. [02:01] Jack_Sparrow: it auto-detected them correctly [02:02] dmsuperman, are you single or dual screen? [02:02] Alex135: Either way, i do find it odd that your justifying breaking hardware, but thats your kicks i spose :o [02:02] WalloO: dual, but the problem happens during single screen mode [02:03] dmsuperman JUst pointing out that often people focus on just the driver and ignore the actual monitor settings. even if it seems to have the right res. [02:03] Jack_Sparrow: nope, one of the first things I checked :) [02:03] dmsuperman, I can give you a single screen xorg.conf [02:03] dmsuperman: try running sudo displayconfig-gtk and reconfigure your screen settings [02:03] khajavi ? [02:03] WalloO: doesn't matter...once I get any of them to work adding dualhead support is easy [02:03] Alex135: i'm assuming that's a GUI app? [02:04] dmsuperman: erm yes, that a problem? [02:04] dmsuperman what are the v & h rates for that monitor [02:04] Alex135: yeah, X isnt running [02:05] dmsuperman: hmmm, well what card are you useing? [02:05] dmsuperman what model of nvidia [02:05] dmsuperman, ok. I dcc you the xorg.conf [02:05] 31-81 & 56-75 [02:05] Alex135: 7900 gs ko [02:05] Alex135: EVGA [02:05] WalloO: I don't have any requests [02:06] dmsuperman: hmmm, not sure, i had a problem that was similer, but somehow i got hardware accell working and then installed KDE because GDM was off center [02:06] dmsuperman seems a bit low...

I just changed the connections that the computer has, and now whenever I try to ssh into it, the connection drops before it asks for a password.

[03:35] Fjss: your partition is out of space [03:35] I'm using an older live cd now, and if I run fdisk I get lots of info and everything looks fine [03:35] IndyGunFreak: and no, I don't. I think it's one of the few bugs I commented on, if it's possible to search by posts by user my user is dmsuperman [03:35] Fjss you must have ran out of space [03:35] Fjss: Um, your disk is full? [03:35] genii, i am on the original user name. i am also unable to install ubuntu updates. [03:35] has anyone had problems getting their mic to work with wine with an audigy 2 sound card? [03:35] Alex135: rmvb, that's the realmedia variable bitrates yes ? [03:35] can someone tell me how my computer even runs a gui with this xorg? http://paste.ubuntu.com/21554/ [03:36] jrib: how can I create more space?? [03:36] Anyone paste screenshot where? [03:36] glitsj16 i belive so... thats just the file extension, if thats what it stands for then yes :P [03:36] Fjss: delete stuff or buy a new hard drive [03:36] Metatron^: we don't ask such questions...when things just magically work you thank whoever it is you pray to :D [03:36] tdaharsh: In which manner are you attempting to run the programs? [03:36] dcoblent, fdisk shows the details of your mounted drives...the best bet now would be going for an alternative cd...hey always work :) [03:36] glitsj16: .rmvb [03:36] Metatron^: you could be running in failsafe mode, with a lower resolution and vesa drivers [03:36] tdaharsh: eg: sudo appname for instance will mess up things if it is a graphical application [03:36] candive: what do you need a screenshot of? [03:37] I have a nvidia 7900 GS KO video card. I have downloaded several different versions of the driver, all of which have (at some point in time) worked, so it's not that they're incompatible. Whenever I reboot, I have low settings mode. Stopping X, reinstalling the driver (even the same one I already have downloaded), and starting X again makes the whole thing run smoothly. Once I reboot again, however, I must run through this process [03:37] how can i get my xorg correct, im in fluxbox not gnome, need restriced mach64 ati driver...i think [03:37] jrib: delete packages? or is there any way to expand the partition? [03:37] genii, i am not using the terminal. i used terminal to open synaptic package manager, for example, and it would not allow me to save changes. I cannot open from the menus. [03:37] Alex135: ubuntustudio is a nice distro for all things multimedia, no need to get codecs from left and right and god knows where, very handy actually :p [03:37] Fjss: delete anything [03:37] Metatron^, use envy :D [03:37] !envyng | Metatron^ [03:37] Metatron^: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. [03:38] IndyGunFreak, It is a little confusing "I do Not have permission to change permissions" [03:38] glitsj16: im currently useing the medibuntu repos, makes things easy enough for most stuff [03:38] xdebconfigurator outputs in terminal what looks like correct data, but it dosnt make it over to xorg.conf, where does xdebconfigurator put its output [03:38] Anyone there? [03:38] envy fails [03:38] glitsj16: added them in after the ubuntu install and after i put KDE in [03:38] :D [03:38] says driver cant be found...very old machine [03:38] Fuck everbody [03:38] !ask KelvNe [03:38] Factoid ask kelvne not found [03:38] !ask | KelvNe [03:38] KelvNe: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[03:39] Alex135: true, i don't even remember playing realmedia for ages by the way, any errors with mplayer trying to play those ? === kat is now known as Guest86806 [03:39] Alex135: Gmplayer complains something about an audio error, but i play in KMplayer and i get sound but no video [03:39] IndyGunFreak, in terminal? [03:40] candive: no..lol, here in #ubuntu [03:40] is there a good daemontools like program to mount an ISO as a filesystem in linux? [03:40] I can't install my ubuntu updates. I let it sit for four hours last night and nothing happened. I looked at the process and it said it is sleeping. [03:40] xim: just mount it [03:40] !iso | xim [03:40] xim: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [03:40] !mount [03:40] 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 [03:40] yeah that one [03:40] oh haha sweet [03:41] Alex135: i suppose you tried playing with the audio output prefs in mplayer already, can't think of any quick fixes i'm afraid [03:41] tdaharsh: tried running "sudo apt-get update" and making sure it's not your internet? [03:41] glitsj16: well im telling Kaffeine (KDE player for just about everything) where the codecs are and seeing if that works [03:42] I have a nvidia 7900 GS KO video card. I have downloaded several different versions of the driver, all of which have (at some point in time) worked, so it's not that they're incompatible. Whenever I reboot, I have low settings mode. Stopping X, reinstalling the driver (even the same one I already have downloaded), and starting X again makes the whole thing run smoothly. Once I reboot again, however, I must run through this process [03:42] dmsuperman, all of my other internet services are working fine. [03:42] glitsj16: so much for that... [03:42] glitsj16: error occured [03:42] how do i use ls or another program to spit back only the sub dirs and their subdirs with full path name? [03:42] Woow, 1248 member online!!! [03:43] bahram: some are bots... [03:43] lolo, grep whatever you want [03:43] Alex135: i only read this http://ubuntupasuruan.wordpress.com/2008/03/02/memainkan-file-rmvb-menggunakan-mplayer/, but you probably done all that .. [03:43] Alex135, :D [03:43] lolo, what exactly do you want [03:44] glitsj16: ya, thing is before when i did it it worked perfectly === dmsuperman is now known as dmsuperman_ [03:44] hey guys, i'm having very strange problems with ubuntu at the moment - perhaps triggered by an update of something. for example firefox opens to a blank tab in spite of being configure to a homepage [03:44] are there any networking people here with both ubuntu and windows xp experience? [03:44] glitsj16: now it doesn't.... [03:44] and if i press the logout button at the top right of the screen i lose my panels [03:44] for some reason, when logging in, GNOME just doesn't appear. a light-grey box does, but no behaviour. [03:44] and dont get a logout screen [03:44] lolo, ls -R | grep " pattern name " > directory.txt will do [03:44] did i install a bad package or something? [03:44] just the dirs, not files and the dirs full path name [03:44] i want to set only the ip address 192.168.*.* and 192.168.*.* can get into the my ftp acounts,and make the other ips not get into it. how can i do this? [03:44] Ale135: always irritatignwhen things suddenly break down for no obvious reason, ah well, plenty of other media formats around ;) [03:45] lolo, how about "ls -R | grep ^d" [03:45] sigma_: As far as firefox goes, try using File > Quit and then re-open firefox, see if it goes to your home page then. [03:45] lolo oh ok... [03:45] lolo: you are better off using find in my opinion [03:45] comp133713371337: nope [03:45] lolo: sorry, ls -al | grep ^d [03:45] lolo, dmsuperman_ is correct... [03:45] sup [03:45] and there are a ton of other weird things happening [03:45] Hello [03:46] sigma_: Anything in the error console in firefox? [03:46] would anybody know of an SQL client that I can use to connect to an Oracle database? [03:46] sigma_: all sorts of bugs sounds like it's time for a reinstall to me [03:46] I have a nvidia 7900 GS KO video card. I have downloaded several different versions of the driver, all of which have (at some point in time) worked, so it's not that they're incompatible. Whenever I reboot, I have low settings mode. Stopping X, reinstalling the driver (even the same one I already have downloaded), and starting X again makes the whole thing run smoothly. Once I reboot again, however, I must run through this proces [03:46] dmsuperman_, its ls -R he needs sub dirs too :) -a shows all files and dirs in that directory [03:46] i can't open the sessions window under preferences, and i had to start nm-applet manually after a full restart, and several of the systray apps were absent [03:46] ah [03:46] ! medibuntu [03:46] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [03:46] and after a few minutes they all loaded up, including a second nm-applet [03:46] lolo: ls -arl | grep ^d [03:46] Citguy08 - What about sqldeveloper? [03:47] ls -al | grep ^d did not give me full path name ... ex /foo/bar/1 /foo/bar/boo/2 [03:47] RedHatMatt: is that in the repository? [03:47] lolo: hrm... [03:47] lolo, its ls -Rl | grep ^d [03:47] ls -Rl | grep ^d is no goo too :( [03:47] lolo, i have a doubt on whether we can fetch the path name [03:47] im looking in dmesg for a problem. is there anything i should keep an eye out for [03:48] Citguy08 - probably not. lemme check. [03:48] dmsuperman_: I find ls -ldr * for top then ls -ldr */* for two deep and so on works but also lists symlinks unfortunately [03:48] how come>? [03:48] I'll find out [03:48] investigating [03:48] lolo i meant we cant...but now i think sed should also be included [03:49] hey everyone! [03:49] lolo: yeah...you're looking at something like a script more than a simple command [03:49] * jrib wonders why lolo neglects find [03:49] lolo, are you good at srcipting?? [03:49] jrib, :) his cause wont be helped with find :) [03:50] using gnome the sound card/system can only handle one program at a time. is there a fix for that? [03:50] arvind_khadri: sure it will... [03:50] CITguy08: there's http://a5exclamation.org/2008/04/14/oracle-and-tora-on-ubuntu-hardy/ .. might be helpful [03:50] arvind_khadri: this is trivial with find [03:50] ude find with what options? [03:50] jrib, how??he wants to travel all over a tree... [03:50] is it possible to execute 2 commands at the same time? [03:50] lolo: -type d sounds promising... [03:50] I have a nvidia 7900 GS KO video card. I have downloaded several different versions of the driver, all of which have (at some point in time) worked, so it's not that they're incompatible. Whenever I reboot, I have low settings mode. Stopping X, reinstalling the driver (even the same one I already have downloaded), and starting X again makes the whole thing run smoothly. Once I reboot again, however, I must run through this proces [03:51] i have horrors of problems with audio in ubuntu since i've downgraded to hardy T_T [03:51] arvind_khadri: which find does by default [03:51] I want to make a shortcut to CD into a folder and run a program from there [03:51] PrimoTurbo: cmd1 && cmd2 executes them one after another [03:51] jrib, :) reading the man pages now [03:51] PrimoTurbo: but not at the exact same moment, not really [03:51] exact same moment doesn't mattert [03:51] lolo: find /your/base/path -type d does what you want if I understand you correctly [03:51] I have a game called Teeworlds it has problem unless it's run from it's directory [03:51] PrimoTurbo: then "cd /some/dir && exec_cmd" [03:51] from terminal it looks like this cd /folder/teeworlds [03:51] When I'm on wireless in ubuntu, my download speed seems limited to 100kb/s down. Sometimes it jumps up to 6-7mbps (my connection max), but only rarely. It is almost always limited to exactly around 100k/sec. Other computers in my house have no problems. What's going on? [03:51] find -type d is so close!!!!!! just not FULL path [03:51] then ./teeworlds [03:52] PrimoTurbo: "cd /folder/teeworlds && ./teeworlds" [03:52] lolo: put the base path... [03:52] jrib: he wants the paths returned like /media/somedir ... /media/someotherdir ... /media/somedir/blah [03:52] [Q] HOw can i check what driver my wifi card is using? [03:52] jrib: so it gives you the full path for each dir [03:52] dmsuperman_: find does this... [03:52] jrib: from what I can determine at least [03:53] Citguy08 - Nope no package available. You can get an RPM from oracle and install as alien. It is possble to get it to work but will require some fiddling. [03:53] thsi doesnt work when I add it to execute from obmenu - "cd /home/primo/Files/Games/Teeworlds/ && ./teeworlds" [03:53] jrib: I'm not doubting...I haven't used it...I'm just trying to communicate what he is unable to communicate [03:53] it doesn't launch game it works from terminal but not as a shortcut [03:53] jrib, it would be something like find -type d [03:53] lolo: find $(pwd) -type d if you want something dynamic... [03:53] PrimoTurbo: you don't need to cd if it's as a shortcut [03:53] dmsuperman_: oh, thanks :) [03:53] is there any way to use win xp as wine ? [03:53] PrimoTurbo: just try making the shortcut to /home/primo/Files/Games/Teeworlds/teeworlds [03:54] jrib, :D we both hit at the same time [03:54] how can i get identd working, so i won't have a ~ in my ident? [03:54] PrimoTurbo, linux is case sensitive is it /teeworlds or /Teeworlds [03:54] find $(pwd) -type d FTW!!!! [03:54] lolo - you can also use 'locate ' [03:54] RedHatMatt: he's trying to get a tree directory listing [03:54] Teeworlds directory and teeworlds file [03:54] thanks!!! [03:54] I cannot make a shortcut to a folder using Openbox [03:54] solexious: did you check in administration>hardware drivers [03:54] i can only excute commands [03:54] how do i prevent the network manager from handling my network connections? [03:55] i want wifi-radar to handle them [03:55] rj vbox? === DBLobster is now known as U09526 [03:55] PrimoTurbo: I'm saying, just make the shortcut directly to the executable [03:55] how can I undo an update (linux-generic (2.6.22.14.21) to 2.6.22.15.22 [03:55] linux-headers-generic (2.6.22.14.21) to 2.6.22.15.22 [03:55] linux-image-generic (2.6.22.14.21) to 2.6.22.15.22 [03:55] linux-libc-dev (2.6.22-14.52) to 2.6.22-15.54 [03:55] linux-restricted-modules-common (2.6.22.4-14.10) to 2.6.22.4-15.11 [03:55] linux-restricted-modules-generic (2.6.22.14.21) to 2.6.22.15.22) [03:55] joshritger: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[03:57] I use openbox menu [03:57] to make an execute command [03:57] using obmenu [03:57] joshritger,i dont think there is any way to do that.... [03:58] joshritger,what exactly is your prob [03:58] Do you understand what I mean? In openbox there is a menu that you can access using right clikc on desktop [03:58] IndyGunFreak, laptop run routine drive check at restart I let it run still no HDD [03:58] you can add entries to it [03:58] but you can only use it to execute commands [03:58] "cd /home/primo/Files/Games/Teeworlds/ && ./teeworlds" doesn't work there [03:58] PrimoTurbo: so why don't you just make the command "/home/primo/Files/Games/Teeworlds/teeworlds" [03:58] sun01tech: trying to use it with kismet [03:58] IndyGunFreak, how do we share link [03:58] because teeworlds has errors [03:59] im trying to run a command in the terminal: sensors | grep 'Core 0' | cut -c13-16 why does it not print anything? it just takes me back to a prompt [03:59] it doesnt run correctly unless u cd into directory and run teeworlds sepratley [03:59] this is what happens if you run it like you mentioned: http://www.teewars.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=840 [03:59] now I'm thinking how would I pass commands to a terminal [03:59] well for core 0 it works [04:00] maybe I can execute a terminal and pass the cd and execute commnad to it?

[04:00] after today's update to gutsy I lost my nvidia drivers, I am at the lowest screen res, can't get envy to install, the drivers from ubuntu wont help, nvidia 8800 GTS [04:00] joshritger: just go onto nvidia.com and download latest drivers [04:00] I dont know how to compile [04:01] then stop X, run then (sudo sh /path/to/driver) and then start X again === candive is now known as candivenoob [04:01] joshritger: "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" to stop X and "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" to start it again [04:01] joshritger: do all three of those commands from a TTY [04:01] joshritger: you'll just get the driver from nvidia.com first (it'll be a .run file) [04:02] !share [04:02] Factoid share not found [04:02] candivenoob: !samba ?

That doesn't happen under 8.04, and I can't figure out how to get to the data files, only the audio tracks are available. How do I get the old functionality back? [04:09] PrimoTurbo: checkout 'man gnome-terminal' and the --working-directory and --comand switches [04:09] dmsuperman_, pretty confusing//// [04:09] bcm4328, dell wireless 1500 [04:09] jsquare1: more /var/log/messages may also be enlightening [04:09] arvind_khadri: he basically wants to do the functionality you suggested in a single shortcut [04:10] Any ideas on howto increase the usplash timeout? [04:10] arvind_khadri: I think jrib's suggestion may have just sorted him out though [04:10] dmsuperman_, :D ask him to go to gnome then... [04:10] heh. [04:10] can someone help me develop a command that will grep sensors and only return the temps of my 4 cores? [04:10] Primoturbo - gnome-terminal -e "(cd ; ./command)" [04:11] pwolfe, lmsesnors | grep "Temp" [04:11] i have multiple ip adreses, but whenever i for example surg the web my public ip adress is same [04:11] how do u format a 500 gb usb drive to linux partition? [04:11] RedHatMatt I get "there was an error creating child proccess for this terminal" [04:11] can i choose what adress i want to use somehow? [04:11] bestpvp: gparted is the easiest way [04:11] Hey, anybody knows if there is any program similar to TortoiseSVN but for Linux, that integrates into Nautilus? I know I have RapidSVN, but I want something more... integrated. Any ideas? ^_^ [04:12] bestpvp: format it using either the "ext2" or"ext3" filesystem [04:12] hello everyone.. i cant run a 3D test on POL? [04:12] Any ideas on howto increase the usplash timeout? [04:12] bestpvp, cfdisk too is useful [04:12] can some1 pls help me? [04:12] arvind_khadri: that gives me the sys temps, but not the temps of the individual cores [04:12] what command do i use? [04:12] !ask bsucomplab [04:12] Factoid ask bsucomplab not found [04:12] !patience | bsucomplab [04:12] bsucomplab: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [04:12] pwolfe, grep core too :) [04:12] bestpvp: "sudo gparted" [04:12] webcamwonder: Add to /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/usplash something like: TIMEOUT = 30 (or what number you like) then rebuild the initramfs. You'll need the initramfs-tools installed [04:13] dmsuperman_, gksu gparted bestpvp [04:13] if i have multiple ip addresses can i choose which one will be my public address when i surf [04:13] Does anyone have java working on ubuntu? like applets that run in firefox browser [04:13] arvind_khadri: yeah, whoops I always forget that [04:13] bestpvp: what he said, gksu not sudo [04:13] dmsuperman_, thats ok :) happens [04:13] genii: where do you recommend, right at the end of the config file? [04:14] it doesnt show up in cfdisk [04:14] webcamwonder: Yes. Make sure you have a newline at end of file === bsucomplab is now known as PoGzTImz [04:14] solexious: this might help or give guidance: http://www.twistedethics.com/2007/04/25/how-to-setup-kismet-in-ubuntu-704/ http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/tutorials/article.php/3595531 [04:14] bestpvp, sudo cfdisk /dev/hda [04:14] genii: after the ending of the if? [04:14] bestpvp, is that drive a new unformatted one?? [04:15] sun01tech: thank you [04:15] can some1 pls help me with 3D graphics acceleration? [04:15] I have a nvidia 7900 GS KO video card. I have downloaded several different versions of the driver, all of which have (at some point in time) worked, so it's not that they're incompatible. Whenever I reboot, I have low settings mode. Stopping X, reinstalling the driver (even the same one I already have downloaded), and starting X again makes the whole thing run smoothly. Once I reboot again, however, I must run through this proces [04:15] webcamwonder: put the entry before the if [04:15] how do select a specific session to view on a cd that has multiple sessions? [04:15] webcamwonder: On a separate line [04:15] that just returns coretemp-isa-0000, but not the temp itself [04:16] testing === tato is now known as tatofoo [04:16] genii: ok, using a previous guide, I did try usplash_write "TIMEOUT 120" and also tried /sbin/usplash... [04:16] dmsuperman, that sounds like you have remnants of old drivers [04:16] genii: didn't seem to work [04:16] genii: drops to console after mouning swap [04:16] dmsuperman_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=418064 [04:16] pwolfe: already removed every single nvidia related package and uninstalled completely, to no avail [04:16]  does anyone know of a way to transfer mp3s from a linux box to a ps3 over a network? [04:18] arvind_khadri: not related to my problem...at least from what I can tell. I'm almost positive it's not my xorg.conf [04:18] arvind_khadri: thanks though :D [04:18] webcamwonder: Doesn't sound like some usplash issue [04:19] genii: is it suppose to be in the format of TIMEOUT = 120 or usplash_write "TIMEOUT 120"? [04:19] how do i mount /dev/sdd? [04:19] !mount | bestpvp [04:19] bestpvp: 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 [04:20] bestpvp: it basically boils down to mount -t TYPE /dev/sdd /mount_point [04:20] bestpvp: where TYPE is usually vfat for FAT32, ntfs-3g for NTFS, ext3, etc. [04:20] webcamwonder: According to manpage of usplash_write, for that command is TIMEOUT 120 for instance. But I'm not talking of the usplash directly. I'm speaking of the config file initramfs will use to configure it. Where the syntax there is TIMEOUT = 120 [04:21] genii: ok, let me give timeout=120 a shot and rebuild my image [04:21] genii: thanks for your help [04:21] Does anyone know of a third-party repository without stupidly out of date ffmpeg and mplayer? [04:21] webcamwonder: np. I hope it takes. I'll be here a little while longer [04:21] dmsuperman: that will not work, it mentioned linux header problems, I believe that is what was updated today, anyway to go back to the previous version? [04:22] so after cfdisk u can mount? [04:22] coldboot|home: as far as I know ffmpeg's last update was like 2001 or 2002 [04:22] dmsuperman_: Yes, that's what's reflected in the Ubuntu packages, they update subversion every now and then. [04:22] bestpvp: you can mount any disk any time, so long as it has a filesystem [04:23] coldboot|home: on sourceforge the last update is like 2001 i think...i've never really had problems with it so i never feel the need to update anyway :P [04:23] dmsuperman_: that will not work, it mentioned linux header problems, I believe that is what was updated today, anyway to go back to the previous version? [04:23] so if i wanted to mount ext3 /dev/sdd what would i tpye? [04:24] joshritger: you mean roll back updates? There's no way as far as I know [04:24] bestpvp: mount -t ext3 /dev/sdd /PATH/TO/MOUNT/POINT [04:24] bestpvp: the mount point is usually a folder inside /media [04:24] there are alot of issues with dependencies with what was updated, envy wont install because build-essential wont install [04:24] can anyone suggest how to get my xorg setup, old ati card, no gnome, xorg.conf has all default vaules, no values for card, have tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and sudo xdebconfigurator, the later seems to show correct values but they are not added to xorg.conf [04:25] I have a Geforce 6600 GT. When I got into Visual Effects and select normal or extra I get a error saying "The Composite extension is not available". any ideas? [04:25] Metatron^: perhaps it's just auto-detecting correctly? [04:25] I have a nvidia 7900 GS KO video card. I have downloaded several different versions of the driver, all of which have (at some point in time) worked, so it's not that they're incompatible. Whenever I reboot, I have low settings mode. Stopping X, reinstalling the driver (even the same one I already have downloaded), and starting X again makes the whole thing run smoothly. Once I reboot again, however, I must run through this proces [04:26] dmsuperman_: other distro's i get an xorg with ati driver, or mach64 driver, and im missing a higher resolution i can run on other distro's [04:26] is there a way i can test 3D graphics in Ubuntu? [04:26] well it has a linux partion [04:26] dmsuperman_: They don't use sourceforge. Nevermind. [04:26] im dling the flglxr driver now, but without the basic driver im dubious [04:26] but it says wrong filesystem [04:27] ok, thats weird [04:27] that didn't work either [04:27] logical linux [04:27] webcamwonder: :( [04:27] genii: yeah :( [04:27] Any reason why knetworkmanager keeps requiring me to choose Hex key instead of passphrase? [04:27] genii: I am on ubuntu through wubi, any connections? [04:29] genii: ok nvm, I guess I can live with the console [04:29] genii: lived long enough with it while programming on windows [04:29] firefox 3 seems to be truncating several websites im trying to view and ie views them just fine. any fixes for these issues? drop down menus also dont always come to the top layer [04:29] webcamwonder: dO YOU KNOW HOW TO APPLY PATCHES? [04:30] Bah capslock [04:30] oh hai [04:30] genii: by patches you mean? I am fairly new to linux [04:30] how do select a specific session to view on a cd that has multiple sessions? [04:30] anyone know why when i try to play wmv files it goes really choppy? [04:30] mount -t ext3 /dev/sdd /media/usb1 [04:31] pizzledizzle: low on memory? [04:31] that wont work for some reason [04:31] mrealtime, nope [04:31] webcamwonder: A patch is basically a change you want to make to a file, in a file of it's own. You apply that to the file you want to change. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/214271 has a patch which might fix your issue [04:31] Launchpad bug 214271 in initramfs-tools "Usplash timeout too low in script/local_premount/resume : stop usplash" [Undecided,New] [04:32] someone help. i got bunch of porn in wmv format and i can't watch it in linux :( [04:32] genii: yeah, patched many things in windows :p going to see the term first time in linux :P [04:32] pizzledizzle: do you have the codecs installed? [04:32] hi, i'm getting this after running Gentoo's LDAP migration tools, any ideas?

[04:32] is there a pkg for djbdns ? [04:33] webcamwonder, i don't know which codecs to install. i installed few gstream codecs i think [04:33] <|Juan|> I have a main user whos session I keep always open. Then I have a second user for anyone else who wants to use the computer. Since I upgraded to Hardy, whenever the second user logs in after my user's session is locked, it comes to a point when that second user is taken to the gdm screen, re-authenticates and continues with its session while mine is killed. [04:33] apt-cache search djbdns did not find any [04:33] pizzledizzle: I personally prefer just getting vlc, you don't require installing other codecs [04:33] vlc & mplayer are both win [04:33] pizzledizzle: Also make sure that the videos you are trying to watch are indeed not choppy really [04:34] punzada: i agree mplayer and vlc and kill any other players out there [04:34] webcamwonder, i tried vlc too. same result. it starts ok but then when there's a lot of motion it gets choppy [04:34] pizzledizzle: Have you played this file perfectly on another media player somewhere else? [04:34] works fine on windows [04:35] a quesion , anyone uses f-spot to upload pictures to picasa? when i upload 500 pictures ,the f-spot crashes [04:35] webcamwonder, er it's fine on windows [04:35] There is a vulnerability on firefox [04:36] anyone konw how i can put linuxmce on ubuntu 8.04? [04:36] hey how do i mount format dev/sdd to ext3? [04:36] when is it planned to fix it in the port for ubuntu? [04:36] pizzledizzle: are you trying to seek the file in vlc? [04:36] ie>FF? [04:36] webcamwonder, i tried with seeking and without. same deal [04:36] pizzledizzle: this is where my linux knowledge ends, sorry :( [04:37] genii: so you suggest me applying this patch to the scripts/resume? [04:38] webcamwonder: First I would make a backup, but yes [04:38] bestpvp if you are trying to fromat sdd to ext3 use gparted or mkfs [04:38] anyone uses f-spot? [04:38] ok, so the question thats been answered a billion times, can someone just give me a quick opinion, is there really any benefit to using the amd64 version over the i386 version?, and is there any drawbacks? [04:38] genii: given that it is not hampering my proficiency in any manner, would it be advisable to not? [04:39] pizzledizzle: u can convert wmvs to avis like this: mencoder FILE.WMV -ofps 23.976 -ovc lavc -oac copy -o FILE.AVI [04:39] metalpres: benefit would be able to access all installed ram (ie, you have 4 gigs, you can use 4 gigs). there might be possible drivers issues depending on your hardware however I have not run into them yet (which doesn't mean they don't exist) [04:40] metalpres: if you don't have 4 gigs or more of memory there's not much point for now imo. [04:40] genii: ok second question, is it normal for automount to take ages for a usb drive of 30 gigs? [04:40] webcamwonder: If it fails horribly you can boot to recovery mode, reinstate the original file and rerun the initramfs [04:40] webcamwonder: No. [04:40] ok, I will give this a shot later on [04:40] how do u start QTParted? [04:40] orphean: ok thanks, thats kind of what i was thinking [04:40] genii: and does the automount mount fat32 as readonly in hardy by default? [04:41] webcamwonder: Offhand I can't recall default vfat mount options [04:41] how do i start the wpa_supplicant service? [04:41] genii: wait, so gnome-volume-mount still uses my fstab for automount? [04:42] webcamwonder: Yes. [04:42] !wireless [04:42] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:43] !QTParted [04:43] Factoid qtparted not found [04:43] genii: and, would automount fall back to readonly mount if it detected some corrupt filesystem or the partition was marked as dirty>? [04:43] yes [04:43] i need a program that, on boot, will convert my hard drive from whatever format it is to Fat32 or NTFS. Any suggestions? [04:43] I recently upgraded to ubuntu 8.04. Previously, if I inserted a cd that had mixed 'sessions' (data on one, audio on the other), I was prompted on what I wanted to do (listen to music or browse files). That doesn't happen under 8.04, and I can't figure out how to get to the data files, only the audio tracks are available. How do I get the old functionality back? [04:44] !mkfs [04:44] Factoid mkfs not found [04:44] hey does anybody know how to make linux mount a drive as soon as it boots? [04:44] Yumari All I can ask is why? [04:44] webcamwonder: Yes, default behaviour normally in corrupt scenario is to mount rw if possible (for almost all fs) [04:44] hey guys, how to download all the repositories for ubuntu? i mean all the updates or certain updates, for future use without having to download it again [04:44] as in part of teh boot process [04:44] webcamwonder: ro rather [04:44] :) [04:44] Question: How do I access the screens and graphics tool in 8.04? [04:45] ontheface928: you need to place the config in your fstab [04:45] onthefence928 create a mount point and add it to fstab [04:45] Jack_Sparrow: ok, and how do i do that exactly? [04:46] gees 15 years of linux and still had to deal with a simple drive [04:46] genii: any chances of dosfsck completely corrupting the data on my external hdd? [04:46] how do i get IE installed on ubuntu, i have my reasons.? [04:46] onthefence928 create a mount point sudo mkdir /media/descriptivenameofwhatisonthedrive [04:46] webcamwonder: No idea on that [04:46] what happened to the network manager on 7.4 my wireless worked 7.10 and beyond does not. [04:47] y can't linux get away from the commands [04:47] onthefence928 what partition is it.. sda1 or what? [04:47] genii: great thanks, and it might seem as if I am too nagging, but few more questions [04:47] genii: if fine with you [04:47] onthefence928 sudo fdisk -l if you need to look [04:47] webcamwonder: Almost midnight here and need sleep soon :) But if they are brief or so [04:47] genii: want to get started on programming in linux [04:48] acee1234 /join #winehq [04:48] genii: background of C++ (noob almost), c# and VB.net... recommendations? [04:48] or maybe god just cursed me with a pos brain :( [04:48] hello [04:48] webcamwonder: I'd suggest visiting #ubuntu-devel and enquiring along the C/C++ veins then [04:48] webcamwonder bash and python [04:48] jack_sparrow: bash is the linux shell if I am not mistaken? [04:49] yup [04:49] webcamwonder: A lot of things are scripted in bash on linux [04:49] webcamwonder scripting is quite useful and will be easy place to see some progress as you learn linux general commands [04:50] jack_sparrow, and what about more... robust like... rapid application development... using GUI and stuff? [04:50] <|Juan|> I have a main user whos session I keep always open. Then I have a second user for anyone else who wants to use the computer. Since I upgraded to Hardy, whenever the second user logs in after my user's session is locked, it comes to a point when that second user is taken to the gdm screen, re-authenticates and continues with its session while mine is killed. Help please [04:50] webcamwonder there way pyqt [04:50] jack_sparrow: pardon me? [04:51] someone shoot me [04:51] webcamwonder pyqt it is a qucik gui rapid deployment setup.. I hate to say google it .. but I dont have a link handy [04:51] HELLO [04:51] 0/w 30 [04:51] webcamwonder sorry for the typing but I smushed a finger today [04:51] i got a question how can i speedup my internet speed ?!? [04:52] Jack_Sparrow: oh, I guess I am good with that... I do ask people to google things as well :d... [04:52] I try to avoid telling people that [04:52] Ne0_WizArd: For firefox, the addon fasterfox works quite well to tweak [04:52] thanks and where can i get that [04:53] Jack_Sparrow: Qt would be the development towards KDE environment? What about Gnome an dGDE? [04:53] Ne0_WizArd: what connection do you have? obvious answer, buy more bandwith, tweaking mtu can help sometimes, but is usually handled automatically correctly [04:53] i have cable [04:53] webcamwonder things are quite interchangeable these days. I run several kde apps in gnome like k3b and konversation [04:53] but am not sure about the speed [04:53] if mtu is incorrect, fixing can have a significant effect. [04:54] is there a hard drive read/write test ? [04:54] Jack_Sparrow: hmm thanks... [04:54] . [04:55] webcamwonder ig you are in gnome.. apt-get something like ksudoku.. just for fun [04:55] if [04:55] the thing is that i an upgrading to the newest version of ubuntu [04:55] and last (maybe not), is there a utility to easily see the free disk space in all the mounted points [04:55] and it taking a long time [04:55] Jack_Sparrow: yeah using Wubi, was able to mess around with Ubuntu quite a lot [04:55] EvilDennisR: I think you were helping me out this morn with my openoffice stuff - if so thanks I got it fixed finally [04:55] Ne0_WizArd: Apologies. Fasterfox is not available for version 3 of firefox, only version 2. But if you have that, can still get it, from: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1269 [04:55] Ne0_WizArd: if i may ask.. why do u wanna upgrade? and not a fresh install? [04:55] webcamwonder df -h [04:56] im running ubuntu without gnome, i need a file search utility but cant seem to find one, suggestions? something other than cat or grep with a gui, and options a result as text would be great [04:56] Jack_Sparrow: great, they should make a GUI assisted CLI [04:56] webcamwonder Do a regular install asap [04:56] ubuntu is fun [04:56] maybe i need to get rox-filer [04:56] s_spiff> do u think it would be better [04:56] thanks genii [04:57] Ne0_WizArd: The speed on upgrade depends on other things. Primarily how close the repository is physically to you. [04:57] mm [04:57] Jack_Sparrow: Just got into Ubuntu, wanted to rip it apart first in order to see its stability [04:57] Ne0_WizArd: well.. quite a few complaints wrt upgrades.. doesn't rule out issues in a fresh install, but A clean install seems more sensible to me. you can ofcourse back up your stuff and then do a fresh install.. and then restore your data. [04:57] what would be best [04:58] mmm [04:58] webcamwonder hardware support is the big issue.. if you plan on using ubuntu and you are buying hardware it is easy. fighting an unsupported device is not fun [04:58] the thing is that [04:58] webcamwonder: I tried to make one, but the project is floundering atm [04:58] webcamwonder: there are several other projects too... [04:58] i always do a fresh install [04:59] i updated my system today and after updating the system need a restart and i did after that my resolutiuon went all wrong why would that be [04:59] webcamwonder when you setp your system.. create an extra partition for /home.. you will thank me later [04:59] Jack_Sparrow: and then mount it in my fstab? [04:59] webcamwonder: they do make GUI assisted CLI [04:59] Ne0_WizArd: the restricted vidoe driver might have gotten disabled [04:59] im on my psp with pspirc [04:59] I've got a spare HD I want to install windows on and make this computer a dual boot, is it easier to install windows with all the drives already installed and then reinstall grub, or remove my ubuntu drives, install windows and then tell grub where to find windows? [04:59] mrealtime: oh, the irony! [04:59] i have already checked on that [05:00] and it says that it is in use [05:00] jc__: imho, the first option [05:00] i type so slow on this thing [05:00] webcamwonder dont bother with /home until you lose wubi... you can do a regular install without setting up the extra /home but it isnt hard to do inside the installer [05:01] webcamwonder: Any more questions before I depart? [05:01] Ne0_WizArd: edit xorg.conf to whatever resolution you want.. should become sticky. [05:01] danbhfive: is that because windows will complain to much if it do it the second way? [05:01] genii: no not now, thank you very much for your help [05:01] jc__ just install windows and fix grub.. [05:02] anyone able to help me out? I checked the forums and I'm a bit lost. With the sony eye toy... when I try to insert the module I get the following message:insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/extra/ov51x-jpeg.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module [05:02] webcamwonder: You're welcome and best of luck [05:02] is ff3 final in the hardy repos yet or is it still a seperate install? [05:02] jc__: no, grub will complain [05:02] s_spiff i dont know how to do that [05:02] metalpres: its in the repos already [05:02] genii: thank you, I don't remember how long ago I had this much of fun playuing with OS :D [05:02] sweet [05:02] do u have nvidia? [05:02] jc__: Windows doesn't pay attention to GRUB in your MBR and overwrites it. The other way around, GRUB plays nice. But you just have to reinstall GRUB to your MBR if you install windows later [05:02] yes [05:02] webcamwonder it gets even better... [05:02] Ne0_WizArd: open term and type xrandr, it will show the resolutions it thinks are avialable [05:03] xrandr --help might help too [05:03] ok [05:03] Jack_Sparrow: danbhfive : Oh OK then thats what I'll do, There's a webpage in the ubuntu docs that will tell me how to reinstall grub right? should I back up the current grub before I do anything?

Some of the newer ones still aren't supported in the version of madwifi shipped with 8.04 [06:06] evening [06:07] atheros 802.11, it says a proprietary drive is installed [06:07] webcamwonder nothing comes to mind.. like I said.. it is late.. mind is getting foggy [06:08] Jack_Sparrow just tried "Super" under wine and the program failed miserably [06:08] !appdb [06:08] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [06:09] curious: I downloaded ubuntu just now (8.04) and extracted the .iso to disk [06:09] i ran the installer and got all sorts of fun options (kubuntu, xubuntu etc.) [06:09] !burniso [06:09] To burn an ISO image of a CD in Linux, Mac OS or Windows, read the howto at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [06:09] i noted that it wanted a 550 mb download of installation files. [06:09] i thought maybe it was becuase i just extracted the image, so i mounted it on a virtual drive. [06:10] ZLemur did you download the minimal cd by chance [06:10] when i wen to run the installation from there, all those options were gone. just gave me 'ubuntu' as an option (And wanted 733mb download) [06:10] probably, Jack_Sparrow [06:10] Is there a program that can print out the dimensions of a video file? [06:10] how do i play .dat (VIDEO FILE) ??? [06:10] the question is, though [06:10] why does it remove options if it's mounted? [06:10] Or pass arguments to mplayer to get it to quit immediately? [06:10] What is the difference between the -generic/-server kernel and the -rt kernel? [06:10] Or ffmpeg? [06:10] when i went back to the on-disk extraction, the options were also gone. [06:10] when i unmounted the image, the options came back [06:11] just seemed strange to me [06:11] ZLemur I have not used the minimal.. so no idea [06:11] adityag: what do i install to play a .dat (video file) & .wmv files ? [06:11] what is the other name for 8.04? [06:11] and why don't they just use version numbers and stop confusing people [06:12] ZLemur--> you extracted the iso and run the installer? you meant you put an entry in your menu list and rebooted right? [06:12] theLichKing: i think you're the only one that's confused. [06:12] adityag install ubuntu-restricted-extras [06:12] 8.04 is the version number, hardy heron is the name [06:12] Noya, i used winrar to extract the iso to my harddrive [06:12] and ran wubi.exe [06:12] ok, how am i supposed to remember a stupid name like hardy heroin? [06:12] 8.04 is pretty straight forward [06:12] not Noya, just 'no'^ [06:13] Jack_Sparrow: thank you [06:13] theLichKing 8 = 2008... 04 = month.. not difficult [06:13] Jack_Sparrow: i know, right? [06:13] ZLemur Read the faq for using wubi.. carefully [06:13] while hardy heroin doesn't make sense at all [06:13] and hard to remember [06:13] and confusing [06:13] ZLemur: wubi is the windows installer, you need to burn the iso and boot the CD to install it normally [06:13] ok.. [06:13] ah [06:13] and not supposed to be official [06:13] just a code name [06:13] will the way i'm doing it technically work, though? [06:14] how do I change the permissions for usb devices so my user can access them? [06:14] or will it be all smurfed up? [06:14] yet, they use the names in the documentation [06:14] ZLemur: sure [06:14] hi, I am having an issue with port forwarding, is there something I am missing? [06:14] cause it's 498mb into it. [06:14] like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager [06:14] coldboot|home: you want the res of the viode? [06:14] theLichKing Your comments belong in #ubuntu-offtopic [06:15] ZLemur it will probably be smurfed up [06:15] the issue is, I am using virtualbox port forwarding and I want to be able to port forward to the designated port on the host, but on the host its not accepting forwarded ports, and outside access to the system [06:15] ungh. guess i'll get to burnin [06:15] hey, silly question, but I'm kinda tired of googling and getting 5 different answers which do different things. How do I add myself to a specific group, using the terminal? [06:15] coldboot|home: ffmpeg -i [filename] will provide you with codec details of the file including the resolution [06:15] is there anyway to find out what is preventing this from happening?

Server is specialized for servers, has things like PREEMPT turned off, and less hardware support. Real time is a realtime kernel, its used for mostly live audio/video/etc stuff where "real time" matters.

[06:32] everything else just does that for you [06:32] DARKGuy: look at usermod, I think -G with an append option may be what you're looking for [06:32] Darknezz: um, WINE isn't 1.0 yet [06:32] DARKGuy: sudo usermod -aG [group] [06:32] tech0007: thx...i fouind that earlier today in fact [06:32] Oh wait, it is!

[06:33] I have been playing around with samba. I started using the tool within nautilus but then progressed to doing it through the samba config file. I have a folder coming up in samba that is not in the config file and also cannot be found on the computer. Any ideas?

Deleted xorg.conf, uninstalled the drivers, etc. Rebooted, installed the drivers, ran nvidia-xconfig and now it all works :D [06:35] Darknezz--> upgrade what? perhaps a new install is better? [06:35] i just had this problem, and they just helped me through it. [06:35] okay one last question [06:36] MSVU123: ask for crdlb, or aaronp [06:36] webcamwonder: the samba integrated thing I was talking about was right click -> sharing options [06:36] is there any way i can do a system recovery === mage is now known as KyleK [06:36] oswado: wine [06:36] MSVU123: like what?

[06:37] Darknezz try sudo apt-get update wine [06:37] trying to get suspend to ram to work with proprietary drivers can anyone help?? [06:37] MSVU123, setup a daily/weekly/monthly rotating backup system and then just restore the backup if you screw something up [06:37] MSVU123, it's what I do. [06:37] nothing is broken i just installed a drive and the resolution adjusted it self to be 800 x 600 [06:37] MSVU123: you installed a drive and your resolution changed? [06:37] MSVU123, I could be mistaken, but I'm almost positive drives have nothing to do with resolution [06:37] ok MSVU123 #nvidia can totally help you out w/ the whole nvidia card they just helped me through it.

[06:41] it shouldn't have an issue, honestly if you're sure you're doing it right i'd look at the router [06:41] im connected wwith my other laptop though...

[06:47] marpal, that'll give you the command it executes to open AWN manager. Paste that command in a terminal window and then look at the output to see if it gives you any errors [06:47] ok i'll check it [06:47] tecknomancer--> router* [06:47] well the icon that show the network say marwell adaptor so i guess it detected [06:48] !who | tecknomancer [06:48] tecknomancer: As you can see, this is a large channel.

For best results, do not install via archives downloaded from mozilla.com. [06:49] graft: It is. It should already be available if you have hardy-updates enabled [06:49] tecknomancer--> sudo lshw -C network would tell you if your wifi nic is detected at all [06:49] graft try google into firefox 3 [06:49] Zioks could you repeat that [06:49] Zoiks does it work across network or not?

[06:54] you can have ff3 if u install the hardy [06:55] marlon_: well shouldnt it appear as a normal upgrade? [06:55] hmmm, ok oswado what about suspend? because i went into suspend to ram and then typing on my keyboard didn't do anything... [06:55] albecl didn't firefox 3 just come out? didnt 7.10 come out before firefox3? [06:55] I don't think so [06:55] marlon_: had tons of problems with wireless in hardy [06:55] much better if you install hady [06:55] FAJALOU--> i believe those fall on the same category, just not quite working yet, people have lots of issues.. [06:55] albech: No. Software in Ubuntu is generally frozen to the versions it released with (except for updates) [06:56] albech: the updates for firefox in 7.10 are just for the 2.x branch of firefox [06:56] I hve a problem "request to switch into FULLSCREEN mode failed: too dumb terminal 'xterm' (no cursor move capabilitie)" in both konsole and xterm [06:56] any clues? [06:56] marlon_: as far as i can tell from the bug-base the wireless card issues are still unresolved for my card [06:56] well, maybe they can fix it once ubuntu 8.10 released [06:56] oswado: hmmm ok shoot, what was interesting though was that when i clicked the power button and restarted i was able to get everything back, like open files etc... is that normal? [06:57] ill try hardy again once the project is finished.. i dont really have time to work on a hardy installation atm :( [06:57] FAJALOU--> its a hit and miss kind of thing, some people get lucky, lots are not, so i'd say you were succesful in recovery..not sure how often you can repeat such feats [06:58] hmm ok, so just turn it off :P [06:58] my desktop-folder is the home-folder? any idea how do I fix this? [06:58] FAJALOU--> yes, may as well shutdown [06:58] hmm ok [06:59] FAJALOU--> beside the boot up process is pretty quick now adays [07:00] true true === Exteris is now known as Exteris^ === oswado is now known as oswado_afk [07:00] ok just as a poll: what is the best gnome music player? [07:01] !poll [07:01] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [07:01] thank you smilin_jack sorry for that ... [07:01] np [07:05] can someone suggest a good book that makes you more proficient with linux? [07:05] oswado well all is detected... [07:05] in exaile, is there a way to set up keyboard shortcuts? [07:06] jack_sparrow :: i installed that package, but still i can neither view .dat nor .wmv [07:06] dyf: if youpick up the Linux From Scratch book and do the install a few times on different machines you would be really proficient [07:06] dyf: installing it helps, you get better, and just using it, and asking alot o question. [07:07] soldats: ok, good idea [07:08] soldats: but i didn't like LFS [07:08] soldats: all it teaches you is how to fetch some packages and compile them [07:08] it starts well, but then you just fetch packages and install [07:09] Jack_Sparrow :: you there ? [07:09] well then id say get any linux users guide from a local used or new bookstore or maybe something on linux administration [07:09] oswado but i noticed it eaid network unclaimed is that my prob [07:09] this is offtopic so if you need further assistance ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [07:11] hello can anyone here help me with torrentflux on ubuntu hard or point me towards a channel better suited..

[07:15] tech0007: ok, can you name that package pls ???with full name [07:16] bpun: i think that is only possible with firewire if find that would be cool [07:16] avifile-win32-plugin ??? tech0007: is this the one ?

[07:20] * fxtgear is looking for wormux opponents :P [07:20] trivial: so why the different programs? is any better than the other? [07:20] mynetdude: then select the second option [07:20] sherkin, http://cppreference.com/ [07:21] Danish989 they are all themes ..... they are gui cosmetics...... its like windows themes [07:21] mynetdude: one of the options in the installer is use the whole drive [07:21] Danish989 themes == cosmetic looks === MKY_ is now known as MKY [07:21] KyleK, hmm didn't see that let me reboot the installer again one sec [07:21] trivial: yes, but what do the different themes apply to? To me it seems all of them change the GUI and if so, why are they different? === Gumby is now known as GGumbyCAD [07:22] hi, i want to install pidgin plugin pack 2.3.0, but not using apt as apparently its outdated in the repos (2.0.0), i cant seem to find the docs for building the plugins i wish to install. im new to building stuff, so i thought i'd ask [07:22] Thanks bpun.

[07:24] nope [07:24] i found f-spot not very good uploading photos to picasa. and advice? [07:24] Danish989 probably all the same except it looks different like cars with many different colors and models [07:24] Danish989: ubuntu has a screen where you can select a theme thats a grouping of all three [07:24] newbee617: upload them manually? [07:25] Kylek: are you talking about the appearance mangaer? [07:25] newbee617: use picasa2 [07:25] newbee617: use Flock?

[07:29] KyleK: would you happen to know if there is software that allows you to record your voice and a video of your desktop at the same time?

I think I have it but didn't know about the voice recording. [07:31] dyf: sorry .but what r u doing [07:31] knows whole lot of stuff and doesn't know flock [07:32] newbee617: i am asking the robot to spit out more information on Flock [07:32] nickrud: ahh it does, thanks. [07:32] navetz_ it records audio, one of which can be the mic input [07:33] dyf: what do u mean by asking me to use Flock. i thought Flock is a photo-manager... === fxtgear is now known as fxtgr === fxtgr is now known as fxtaway [07:33] i think flock is a browser [07:33] dyf: or maybe a command in irc? [07:33] newbee617: it is not, but it makes it easier to upload photos [07:33] Hi - I used this command in Terminal to get my DVD to play movies - "wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2" - It worked great! Can someone tell me what "&&" part means ? ? [07:34] ds [07:34] annie_g do the following command if the previous command completed successfully [07:34] annie_g: that means LOGICAL AND [07:34] adityag not in a bash line ;) [07:35] nickrud: The command worked - I just was curious what the " && " part of command this does? [07:35] annie_g: other-wise u have to enter those commands one after the another , right ??? nickrud: ?? [07:35] annie_g see my previous line, that's what it means [07:35] anyone knows of a special usb device-- it is an unusual request but i'm looking if there is such a usb device that connects to two usb ports, each of its ends to separate machines> so that 1 machine serves an iso image and the other machine sees it as a usb cd-drive.. === Pramod_Helios is now known as Helios [07:35] adityag: Thanks - Got it.....

[07:35] sherkin, no prob === Helios is now known as Helios_Pramod [07:35] adityag yes, but it doesn't complete both commands and compare the result [07:35] nickrud: now am i right ? [07:36] hola [07:36] sherkin, there's also good online sites i'm sure with commentaries (like php for eg) [07:36] adityag it's not a comparison, but sort of an if then statement [07:36] i still don't understand . u seems used some strange command on me .but , i will forget it [07:36] nickrud: Sorry misunderstood - I see what you're saying - Thanks also! [07:36] annie_g: apt-get install foo && apt-get install bar The system will only run 'apt-get install bar' if 'apt-get install foo' completes without an error. you can chain a bunch of commands together like that and it will stop at the first error or complete. [07:36] hola [07:37] mabuhay [07:37] i'd google "flock". haha [07:37] orphean: Aw - becoming clear now - Thx [07:37] fine [07:37] quien habla español [07:37] my amsg err, just meant to ask in #hardware.. sorry [07:37] !es | denis [07:37] denis: 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. [07:38] adityag mispoke, not a comparison but not a mathematical operator either [07:38] nickrud, it _is_ a logical operator, however, which is what adityag actually said... [07:38] gracias [07:38] micahcowan Logical and? Anyway, annie_g got her answer, is happy and I'm straying off topic [07:39] hihihihi... Ubuntu is coool... :) [07:39] I tried to install Ubuntu 8.04 via Wubi, but it's throwing a "cant read cd" type error [07:39] in the log, it says: CD2ISO failed: LastError = 1 Incorrect function. [07:39] what can I do? [07:39] sorry.......i am new to shell programmingg, and said that as i know C [07:39] Flock is an RSS aggregator written in Java. so i don't think it can help to upload photos. [07:39] Bangers have you tried doing the install with the iso rather than the physical cd? [07:40] Bangers I had better luck with the iso and not using a cd myself [07:40] Bangers: are you sure the cd is not corrupt? [07:40] Bangers: do an integrity check on the cd... :) [07:40] Yes the CD is fine [07:41] Helios_Pramod: how can I do an integrity check on the CD? [07:41] does anybody know if there is limewire for ubuntu? [07:41] check for the hash using MD5checksum... [07:42] how do I get wine? I wanna run MSN Live Messenger and AIM on ubuntu [07:42] Do you think there is any reason why there are so few opensource packages in C++? Portability ? Culture ? [07:42] !wine | mynetdude [07:43] mynetdude: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [07:43] sherkin, that is incorrect [07:43] mynetdude try frostwire , but limewire is java and runs under linux [07:43] tmasey [07:43] nickrud whats the difference between frostwire and limewire? [07:43] sherkin, a variety of probable reasons, but it's really not topical here. [07:44] cool I will check them out... [07:44] !appDB [07:44] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [07:44] Bangers https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#head-7e85795f0b0ee2beb8c8b28e2eaba6b3dee2b68d a few paragraphs down: An installation procedure that will work in most cases is the following: Works for Me™ [07:44] micahcowan: Thanks. Could you point me somewhere ? [07:44] mynetdude: lol, one is not free one is free [07:44] pen you saying limewire isn't free? [07:44] sherkin, sorry, I don't know any good sources on that. Google, I guess. [07:44] mynetdude frostwire seemed to work better than limewire for me [07:45] mynetdude: it is not if you want full feature [07:45] Hi, for some reason when I start my machine instead of booting into Ubuntu its botting into something called "BusyBox" and I have no idea why... ? [07:45] does anyone know if drivers for the RaLink RT61 wireless chipset are included in the current linux kernel? [07:45] mynetdude: well i'm not very sure, but you have to pay for the pro [07:45] why does my flash stop working?> [07:45] does alltray work with 8.04? it worked fine on gutsy, but now with hardy any program i run doesnt show up in the tray or the taskbar [07:46] The reason I asked here is precisely that very little info exists on it. So I would deduce it's cultural ? [07:46] I don't use limewire, my brother does... so I'll see what I can do [07:46] metalpres: wat's alltray? [07:46] if Limewire Pro is java I'd get that... I already have pro for windows [07:47] sherkin, C++ is a language that is tougher to master [07:47] hello friends, I'm a newbie and I don't know how does my desktop configuration change the desktop folder to my home folder? any suggestion please? [07:47] it forces any program to run in the system tray so when you minimize something it goes to the tray instead of the taskbar [07:47] what you are asking, is similar to "why people prefer PHP ?" [07:47] can anyone tell me why my machine is booting into "BusyBox" ? [07:47] brb need to see if I can run the google browser sync from ubuntu in FF3 [07:47] mynetdude frostwire or gtk-gnutella, they both work the same network as limewire [07:48] And still off-topic... [07:48] oh ok frostwire then... [07:48] simple, you have your work cut down better at times for simple tasks with another language/platform, so people tend to go after that; anyway, yes, offtopic :) [07:48] pollie: And easier to structure and maintain, and manage memory ... [07:48] Britney change the desktop folder? Your question isn't very clear. Desktop configuration is mostly kept in .gconf, .gnome2, .config and .local in your home directory [07:49] sherkin, about memory management, well that is not actually a problem [07:49] pm ? [07:49] anyone know how to get itunes to work? I have an iPod Touch and I need to update the firmware. Supposedly there's a huge security bug. [07:49] IndyGunFreak, you still here? [07:49] afallenhope windows or mac, no way to run itunes under linux/wine yet [07:50] nickrud: I was told that gkpod worked [07:50] afallenhope thats not itunes :) [07:50] nickrud: well what if I run VMWare and Windows? [07:50] I'm trying to move a package to C++. If the community hates C++, it will probably be ignored ? [07:51] afallenhope I havent' tried that yet, but have heard horror stories [07:51] as [07:51] sherkin kde is written in c++ , the community doesn't hate it, just zealots [07:51] afallenhope: Its possible. I've had to do it for someone. [07:52] orphean: you think you can help me out? [07:52] afallenhope: Getting the virtualized windows installation to recognize the ipod is plugged in a pure voodoo. just a warning. [07:52] nickrud, thanks for replying. the Desktop foreground contains files of my Home Directory! it should contains files from ~/Desktop but it doesnt after I rename the Desktop folder from desktop to Desktop, as I rename it back it happens nothing. [07:52] sherkin, there is actually tons of free software written in C++, it's just perhaps less common than C. And you should really discuss this elsewhere, maybe #ubuntu-offtopic. [07:52] afallenhope: there's not much to help with. install vmware. install windows. plug in the ipod and pray. :) [07:52] upgrading dapper to hardy, got to the "sudo do-release-upgrade" stage and it says there is no new version available =( [07:53] hao [07:53] why does my flash stop working? [07:53] because flash is crap [07:54] lol [07:54] Britney try gconf-editor /apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_is_home_dir , make sure that is not checked [07:54] micahcowan: apologies. I didn't mean to troll [07:54] nickrud, I just know want to get the Desktop foreground to show me files of ~/Desktop or ~/desktop and not from the home folder [07:54] it's a terrible bit of software, written using horrible outdated APIs [07:54] Zoiks, stop working isn't a very detailed question, please elaborate [07:54] Britney did you catch my last? [07:54] nickrud, okay I'll try, thanks ^^ [07:54] sherkin: what do you mean "move a package to c++"? [07:54] Britney make sure it's Desktop, not desktop [07:54] yes I do [07:55] Hello [07:55] Britney uncheck that, you'll get back your Desktop. you might need to run alt-f2 killall nautilus to get the change to take effect [07:55] I am triying to install Kerrighed but on the ./configure i got http://pastebin.com/m76393ac7 any idea what to do ?

[07:57] español [07:58] nickrud, perhaps I should signal that I use 3d Desktop with the compiz [07:58] Britney ok, make sure the ~/Desktop dir exists, then run alt-f2 killall nautilus [07:58] Britney shouldn't make any difference [07:58] it does [07:58] ~es | harold [07:58] okay [07:58] !es | harold [07:58] harold: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

I get this error when I try to install the package. http://paste.ubuntu.com/21582/ I found this bug which seems very similar https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tzdata/+bug/240502 but I am stumped as to how to fix it. [07:58] Launchpad bug 240502 in netbeans "Netbeans won't install" [Undecided,Confirmed] [07:58] ozzloy, Not sure of it's progress or how good of a phone it is but you might look into http://wiki.openmoko.org if you want an open source phone [07:58] I'm trying to get my new HD to work, it shows now this when I try to mount it [07:58] http://pastebin.com/ma97fab7 [07:59] What now? [07:59] Spudly: nope, do you have the 7600GT also? [07:59] Jordan_U: that's not open to the public right now [07:59] grax [07:59] Harde_ I'd suggest the first option listed [07:59] Jordan_U: they're "sold out" they say [07:59] viva ubunuuuu [07:59] thebinz: nope < ATI Rad 9800 [07:59] oic [07:59] ubuntuuuu [08:00] is it possible to remove labels from personal bar in ff? [08:00] harde_: you can do as the article says (run the mount command with the -o force option) - that's what I did [08:00] though i continue to have a reoccurring problem with this card. [08:00] Spudly: Ok, thanks [08:00] Harde_: that happened to me with an external fw drive - i think I shut down Windows without Unmounting and then that error came up [08:00] seriously though, my phone is dying, i'm off contract. i want a phone that is just a phone and maybe a contact list and a calendar. and i want to sync with my linux desktops. does such a phone exist? [08:00] if so, what is this phone? [08:01] why does my flash stop working? I have a x64 installation and I all could see were grey boxes. I tried uninstalling flash, now it just keeps coming up that I need to install flash, even though it is installed again [08:01] hi guys, sorry to be back so soon, I did what it said about playing dvds and am still getting read errors off my dvd's, which all play in the other dvd players around the house, installed xine and same thing with it [08:01] Spudly you mean the labels under the buttons? right click the bar , then near the bottom there's a choice about showing text or only icons [08:01] harde_: had no problems with the -o force option, and I think it even fixed the problem [08:02] nickrud: not sure what you mean?? don't think it's me you need to direct that comment to... [08:02] hey all. on my laptop I can run the command " xrandr --output LVDS --set PANEL_FITTING full_aspect" to make the driver preserve the aspect ratio on smaller video modes. Is there a way to set this property when the driver is first loaded? something in xorg.conf maybe? [08:02] * nickrud shudders about ntfs forcing [08:02] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=816750 < the problem im experiencing with this card.... its really annoying [08:02] Spudly though you wanted to get rid of some labels in firefox? those were the only ones I could think of [08:02] never mind, I just found a solution: "sudo aptitude install tzdata tzdata-java" it seems the latest version has some broken dependencies, and it reverted to an earlier revision. [08:03] is there a way to have an app remember its window location so that when i re-open it, it comes up in the same place? [08:03] nickrud: no mate, not me - i'm wondering if anyone is havin GARTSize issues on Hardy. btw - forcing the mount actually worked on my system and reset the ntfs log which meant the error didn't come back [08:03] Spudly yeah, I found the right guy :) [08:03] shonen: Do you have hardy-proposed enabled? [08:03] nickrud: all good [08:03] stodan you mean the labels under the buttons? right click the bar , then near the bottom there's a choice about showing text or only icons [08:04] Spudly he was just before you in the scroll, eye drift [08:04] can anybody help me to upgrade the kernal of ubuntu server 8.04 . sudo apt-get dist-upgrade doesnt work [08:04] nickrud, on bookmark bar, i found plugin for that [08:04] quinn: What errors does it give? pastebin them [08:04] nickrud: hehe - no dramas, wouldn't be the first person (or the last) [08:04] quinn: actually, pastebin this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [08:04] quinn if you have -19 , you have the latest version from ubuntu [08:04] no errors,it just said 0 will update [08:05] quinn: What makes you think you aren't at the latest then? [08:05] 2.6.24-17-server [08:05] Flannel:never mind, I just found a solution: "sudo aptitude install tzdata tzdata-java" it seems the latest version has some broken dependencies, and it reverted to an earlier revision. [08:05] how do i get grub to only display the latest ubuntu kernel? setting howmany=1 in /boot/grub/menu.lst doesnt work [08:05] shonen: You said that. Do you have hardy-proposed enabled? [08:05] Flannel, 2.6.24-17-server [08:05] quinn: do you mean upgrade to 8.04, or just updating the kernel in 8.04? [08:05] quinn: pastebin sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [08:05] Flannel, i want to upgrade to -19 [08:06] BoltClock: did you run 'sudo update-grub' after making that setting? [08:06] uname -r [08:06] just kernel [08:06] will my install screw up if I change every instance of "dapper" in my /etc/sources.list to "hardy" [08:06] ? [08:06] kakalto: You should use update manager [08:06] Flannel: not sure. netbeans is installing right now, so I cannot open synaptic to check. [08:06] soundray: nope. will do that now. although i didnt need to do that after setting timeout. does it have something to do with the # symbol? [08:06] guys any one work on SAP gui in ubuntu [08:06] ? [08:06] kakalto: most definitely yes [08:06] odd [08:06] kakalto and probably yes [08:06] shonen: open /etc/apt/sources.list [08:06] kakalto: you're fridge will be the first to go, then you're tv [08:06] its won't let me on the forums [08:06] Flannel: mm, I'm trying; having a little trouble =] [08:06] soundray, nickrud, thanks [08:07] Spudly: already gone =P [08:07] nevermind, now it works [08:07] kakalto: Alright, if update manager isnt working for you we can do it manually, yes. Theres a few steps to be done before that though. [08:07] BoltClock: the timeout affects the behaviour of the boot loader directly. The options that start with # affect update-grub [08:07] i see [08:07] Flannel: no, it is not in sources.list [08:07] kakalto: i tried to use update manager to go from Edgy to Hardy - i had a few X11 issues, so I re-installed Hardy from CD (backup, format, install) [08:07] Spudly: You can't go from Edgy to Hardy. You can go from dapper to hardy. [08:08] Spudly, i just want to update the kernel in 8.04 [08:08] Flannel: What? Yes you can. [08:08] quinn: Have you pastebinned that command yet? [08:08] orphean: You have to go Edgy > Feisty > Gutsy > Hardy [08:08] Flannel, Spudly, okay... Is there a webpage that just shows dapper --> Hardy upgrade, manual? [08:08] Flannel, it will take some time [08:09] Flannel: ah i see what you mean. [08:09] Flannel: i was given the option to use upgrade-manager to 8.04 (which I used), so it may have been dapper - either way, had a few issues so I decided to install fresh... [08:09] gordonjcp: I'm talking on #ubuntu-offtopic with micahcowan and pollie [08:09] kakalto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades [08:10] kakalto: Its pretty simple. Make sure you have your kernel metapackage, ubuntu-standard, ubuntu-minimal, and any other metapackages (apache2, for instance) installed. Make sure you're up to date with dapper (that includes dapper-updates). Disable any third party repos (hopefully none, if there are, and if they are used heavily, you'll need to evaluate their effect on the upgrade). then change dapper to hardy in sources.list, update, and dist-up [08:10] See, what I find is that it tells me everything is up to date [08:10] kakalto: the command line version is under "Network upgrade for Ubuntu servers" [08:10] nickrud, /apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_is_home_dir was unchecked, ~/Desktop exists, I unshekd shekd the key in gconf-editor, nothings changes, any other suggestion pls? [08:10] kakalto: the update-manager does do an excellent job of upgrading and bringing you back into ubuntu (considering everything that has to happen, it's a really smart tool) - i just had some X issues which weren't resolved (and just complicated) by the upgrade... [08:11] Flannel: dist-upgrade from dapper to hardy will break [08:11] Britney did you restart nautilus? === max976 is now known as max` [08:11] kakalto: Do you have a desktop metapackage as well? [08:11] soundray: No it wont [08:11] nickrud, yes I do [08:11] Flannel: you have to do sudo do-release-upgrade [08:11] sup room [08:12] Britney no, those are the only things I've had to do to switch back and forth between home as desktop and Desktop as desktop [08:12] soundray: No, you don't. And the dapper update manager is failing for a lot of people anyway. [08:12] Flannel, Spudly, cheers, I'm going to go off and give this all a go now, I'll be back if there's trouble :-) [08:12] kakalto: backup your goodies first! [08:12] oh, and soundray, thanks to you too =] [08:12] roger! [08:13] soundray: that is, u-m-core, no idea re: GUI, haven't had any problems with it that I can remember [08:13] packages.ubuntu.com does not find a program 'net-setup'. Is net-setup only available from SystemRescueCD? Where can I find a manual for the program 'net-setup'? [08:13] Is there an ETA on a fix for the prefetching issue on ubuntuforums.org? [08:13] kakalto: Again, if you do have a GUI on this (I thought you said server, but could be mistaken) make sure you have your proper *-desktop metapackage as ewll [08:13] Flannel: there you go, but you thought you should contradict me twice [08:13] edavidburg: ask in #ubuntuforums [08:13] * soundray shakes head [08:13] Flannel, thanks ,it works [08:13] nickrud, okay thanks anyway [08:13] Already did, no one's there. [08:13] soundray: What? [08:14] Flannel: nah, not server - kubuntu, actually [08:14] kakalto: Ah, then make sure you have kubuntu-desktop installed as well. [08:14] why does my flash stop working? I have a x64 installation and I all could see were grey boxes. I tried uninstalling flash, now it just keeps coming up that I need to install flash, even though it is installed again [08:14] oh, rhythmbox quashes my sound on highlight! wonderful === Merc is now known as mercuree [08:16] Flannel, 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' doesnt continue ,but 'sudo aptitude upgrade works , it update more package. [08:17] nickrud: what issue r u havin with your Nvidia card? === desti_T2 is now known as desti [08:18] Spudly I don't use nvidia, I prefer open drivers ;) [08:19] Hi all [08:19] Spudly sadly, I've only had a question I needed answered answered her a couple of times [08:19] s/her/here/ [08:19] Is there any way I can set a different wallpaper for different workstations? [08:20] Danish989 there are some scripts that claim to do that; if you want to do it with compiz you have to recompile some stuff. Not trivial [08:20] nickrud: I have no idea about compiling [08:21] nickrud: Can't it be done within ubuntu already? Or can't I just install some program via synaptic that allows me to do so? [08:21] Danish989 so, you wait with the rest of us (been waiting for years) [08:21] Danish989: do you have desktop effects enabled? [08:21] soundray: yeah [08:21] nickrud: bummer :( [08:22] nickrud: does anyone who knows ubuntu internals come on at all?? [08:22] Hibernate no longer works for me, yet suspend works fine. What's wrong? [08:22] soundray: desktop cubes, wobbly effects, the works. Do you have a plan? [08:22] Spudly Flannel is here, and others [08:22] ghindo: did you install with wubi? [08:22] Danish989: the one that nickrud suggested [08:22] soundray: wallpapoz, I presume? [08:22] nickrud: probably should apologise to Flannel then shouldn't I (sorry Flannel) :P [08:23] nickrud: were you talking about ''wallpapoz'' ? [08:23] Spudly not as often as I would like. They did a lot in the early days, but this sucks too much time [08:23] Danish989 it sucks [08:23] Danish989: No, it's a clean Ubuntu 8.04 install [08:23] nickrud, I fixed it after changing the path on ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs next, I just want to initial it for the victim ^^ [08:23] nickrud: absolutely [08:23] nickrud: I read somewhere that ''wallpaper-tray'' and ''drapes'' can do the same, do you know about that? [08:23] Spudly: For what? I don't knw of anything apology-worthy [08:24] Britney ah! I know of that, but only vaguely. I'll play with it for the next time, thanks [08:24] Flannel: oh good - was hoping you wouldn't have interpreted my comment as an inference that there wasn't anyone here who knew ubuntu internals [08:24] Danish989 yes, and they all suck [08:24] nickrud: suck, as in, have crappy interface, or just don't work? [08:25] nickrud: even if its a pain in the @** to look at, but works, I'll use it .. I just want a seperate wallpaper for my seperate workstations, so if I get tired of looking at angelina jolie i switch to jessica alba on the fly [08:25] Danish989 as in don't work smoothly. Like, you shift desktops, and after a visible delay they switch backgrounds, or the rotate the background on all desktops, other glitches [08:25] nickrud: that just plain sucks [08:25] :) [08:25] nickrud: oh well, guess I'll join you guys with the wait [08:26] nickrud: by the way, congratulate me, I finally have Ubuntu running and am happy with it :D [08:26] congrats ;) [08:26] nickrud: I dont know if you remember or not, but I've been here a million times just to get it to work, and now it finally is :) [08:26] nickrud: anyway, thanks again [08:26] * Spudly congratulates Danish989 for adding a million lines to #ubuntu logs :P [08:27] lol [08:27] welcome to freedom Danish989 lol [08:27] I need help with my new internal drive, it isn't system drive, just for storage [08:27] I feel like I'm walking on eggshells since I upgraded to Hardy with my wireless. Do I have to do a whole clean install to go back to Gutsy? [08:27] Danish989: if you're looking for a really stressful linux experience, do a Gentoo stage 1 install [08:28] alliecat yes [08:28] Danish989: you will marry your ubuntu system after that [08:28] BoltClock: that makes me feel like im in the matrix or something [08:28] * Spudly hugs his ubuntu system [08:28] Danish989: really? i dunno i never cared about the matrix [08:28] * Danish989 takes his ubuntu to vegas [08:28] * BoltClock follows what Spudly did [08:28] BoltClock: I'm just saying, that sounded really cool :p [08:28] Spudly that's nothing, try lfs about 8 years ago, when you had to go find sources on sunsite [08:28] So, my wireless has worked flawlessly through Edgy, Feisty and Gutsy [08:28] Danish989: lol :) [08:28] using ndiswrapper [08:29] and now that I'm on Hardy, it's awful [08:29] nickrud: we could go back in time to the 70s and make punch cards - point is, it's painful [08:29] alliecat what chip ? [08:29] Spudly did that too === corneliu1_ is now known as c9s [08:29] what do you mean? amd64 [08:30] Spudly but you are absolutely correct [08:30] alliecat no, wireless chip [08:30] oh [08:30] bcom umm [08:30] nickrud: i think i installed slackware from floppy disks once.... i think i was single at the time (surprise surprise) [08:30] 4xxx [08:30] alliecat hm, that's not enough info [08:30] alliecat: try lspci | grep Network [08:31] 05:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 01) [08:31] Hey, one quick question: How do I change what the background looks like while I'm rotating my 3D Desktop, switching through workstations? [08:31] Flannel: have you modified your Xorg.conf on Hardy at all?? [08:31] Danish989: do you mean having different background images on different workspaces? [08:32] alliecat I use that exact chip. remove ndiswrapper, and use system->admin->hardware driver. Do it while you are wired up to the net [08:32] Spudly: Nope, I already got the answer to that (that its not possible) I mean the background to the 3D cubes, you know how its dull and gray with the cubes reflection as default .. [08:32] will it not be an option to use the hardware driver while ndiswrapper is installed? [08:32] Spudly: The background where the cube rotates? I have no idea how to make this question make sense [08:32] because right now it isn't there [08:33] alliecat you don't want ndiswrapper and the b43 drivers conflicting. [08:33] i can connect wirelessly but it just dies every so often [08:33] Danish989: I found a site that describes how to do it, but it doesn't work (sigh)... re: cubes, have you tried using cube Skydome or anything? [08:33] Danish989: I this i know what you mean [08:34] and it isn't the connection, because it happens on both that i have access to [08:34] Danish989: I think rather [08:34] spudly: I know right :o( I really wanted that .. oh, and I think the thing I want IS the skydome thingy ... can you just tell me in guidelines what I need to get? [08:35] hey.. just wondering.. ive got a canon 400D does ubuntu support any .raw -> .jpeg (or similar) converters? [08:35] Danish989: wish i could say i knew how - fancy a journey thru the Compiz settings manager? [08:35] Danish989: fyi - my background (when i engage Rotate Cube) goes from Dark (top) to light (bottom) - it's this you want to change, right? [08:36] spudly: I already looked around the compiz settings manager, and I could change the top and bottom of the cube (with image files) [08:36] spudly: what I want to change is the dull gray at the complete back of the whole cube [08:36] spudly: you're right, the dark top and light bottom gradient background [08:36] found the answer to my own question :D rawstudio! [08:36] nickrud: is there any way i can do the switch with ndiswrapper and the b43 drivers offline [08:37] so i don't have to bring my laptop all the way across the house to connect it to the router via a wire [08:37] Danish989: ok - it's not actually the cube itself you want to change (i am being picky, but for a reason) - it's the background behind the cube [08:37] (i want to stay where i am now and if i go back there i'll get enticed into staying back there) [08:37] spudly: yup [08:37] have a look at the Compiz cube reflection plug-in [08:37] alliecat you have to download some firmware for the card from the net, so you have to be wired to enable the driver I'm talking about [08:38] i've got it enabled and it appears to have settings related to what we're talking about.... and if i make a subtle modification... (drum roll).... [08:38] blech [08:38] * Spudly changes something in compiz, not knowing whether the world will end [08:38] !wireless | alliecat (I think the do talk about a way, downloading some stuff ahead of time) [08:38] alliecat (I think the do talk about a way, downloading some stuff ahead of time): Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [08:38] spudly: awesomeness .. but is there anyway I can place an image there instead of a gradient? [08:38] i'll do it while the person i'm trying to avoid is showering :P [08:38] night all [08:40] Spudly, a gentoo stage 1 install? is that where you install the base the download the tarball and so on? i got as far as trying to install xorg and quit. moved onto ubuntu :P [08:40] Danish989: if i turn off the Cube Reflection plug-in, my background is completely black.... let me have a squizz.... [08:40] Spudly: Ive seen a lot of videos with people having image files at the back instead of that dull gradient ... I do think it's called a skydome or something of the sort [08:41] i saw someone mention iceweasel just now. looked it up. i want it. im guessing i have to update my apt sources.list? the geticeweasel.org site is rather cryptic. anyone got the sources for me? [08:42] iceweasel = firefox with different branding [08:42] Danish989: consensus seems to be a skydome image in the cube plug-in [08:42] and, perhaps, a little more freedom [08:42] deifne more freedom [08:42] does anyone use transputty? [08:42] or any version/mod of putty 0.60 /w transparecy [08:43] spudly: aaand? [08:43] ahsan, well, if you're going to use the official firefox branding, you can't really change the program much (it's brand protection: they don't want to let people hack whatever they want into firefox, and still call it that). [08:43] Danish989: ...that seemed to work for me.... [08:43] Danish989: skydome image === |ARaCHnoTRoN| is now known as mayhemirc === mayhemirc is now known as |ARaCHnoTRoN| [08:44] using the latest fglrx drivers for my hd2600pro card I get an fatal error and then a signal 11 in my Xorg log whenever I try to run a movie. Anyone have any ideas? [08:44] Danish989: can send you screenshot if you like [08:44] spudly: go ahead [08:45] how should i send it to ya? [08:45] spudly: it says its waiting for the transfer to begin? [08:45] garrr [08:45] hmm [08:45] same [08:46] Danish989: prob firewall [08:46] Danish989: do you have another preferred method? [08:46] spudly: pfft, how about email? [08:46] Danish989: fine by me [08:46] spudly: danish989@gmail.com [08:47] spudly: you changed the image? [08:47] Danish989: added an image [08:47] spudly: how? [08:48] Danish989: skydome (as it apppears to be known) was blank. in Compiz settings manager, in the Desktop Cube plug-in, select the Appearance tab [08:48] then open the skydome twisty [08:48] then add an image in the Skydome Image boxy thingy [08:49] when type commands on the terminal i get an error (pratik@pratik-desktop:~$ sudo pppoeconfig [08:49] sudo: unable to resolve host pratik-desktop [08:49] ) [08:49] spudly: i believe I got kicked out [08:49] email on it's way [08:50] can any one help me [08:50] Danish989: awesome - i been thinking about how to do that, but never got around to doin anything about it (lazy arse me) [08:50] spudly: lol, how nice [08:50] Donda: it depends on your problem - if it's chick or dude related, ask your Mum [08:50] spudly: another thing, can you tell me what the bloody difference is between a Metacity and an Emerald theme? [08:50] Hey, I have linux and vista installed on my primary hard drive and xp installed on the secondary. XP is hd1,0 linux hd0,4 and vista hd0,3. XP wont boot because windows wants to be on hd0,0 how can i make it load? [08:51] ajhtiredwolf: use map in grub to make it look like hd0,0 [08:51] spudley: why can't we ask you chick questions? [08:51] Danish989, Metacity is a window-manager (the default one in Ubuntu); I don't know what Emerald is, but I'd hazard a guess it's another wm. [08:51] Flannel, map?? [08:51] micahcowan: thanks~ [08:51] Ah, window decorator for compiz. [08:51] Peter77: hey, if you want my advice i'm happy to share! :) but I can't guarantee you won't get slapped.... [08:51] micahcowan: yesh [08:52] Danish989: If i knew that, I'd answer you in a jiffy.... isn't Emerald a Window Decorator (?), and Metacity a Window Manager? [08:52] spudly: what exactly is the difference between those two? :S [08:52] Danish989: .... was hopin you'd be able to answer that old boy! [08:52] when i type sudo pppoeconfig on terminal i get an error [08:53] spudly: lol, unfortunately not ... dude, I do love what your ubuntu looks like, what are you using?

[08:53] ajhtiredwolf: in your XP entry, map (hd1) (hd0) then on the next line map (hd0) (hd1), anywhere in the entry (beginning is easiest). Don't change the root, that's independant of mapping [08:53] Danish989: which bit do you like?? [08:54] ajhtiredwolf: so, one per line your XP entry is summarized by: title, map, map, root(noverify), chainloader, makeactive, or something similar to that [08:54] Flannel, that will make hd1 look like 0 and hd0 look like 1? [08:54] ajhtiredwolf: To XP, yeah. [08:54] Flannel, will that make the vista on the real hd0 not be able to boot? [08:54] when i type sudo pppoeconfig on terminal i get an error .the error is sudo: unable to resolve host pratik-desktop [08:54] ajhtiredwolf: No, it only affects the menu entry it's in [08:54] ajhtiredwolf: (it only gets evaluated when you boot that entry) [08:55] peter77: ask yourself this - is she likely to tear your head from your neck if u say "I'm hanging out with the fellaz tonight dear".... if the answer is yes, then change your address.

[09:00] Can someone tell me how to get the correct drivers working? [09:01] Flannel, oh woops yeah, i changed that but it changed back [09:01] ajhtiredwolf: The mapping only happens for the OS it boots to, not GRUB itself [09:01] * swansk needs help [09:01] \list [09:01] spudly: cube rotation man it is, to the cube rotation mobile! [09:01] !patience | swansk [09:01] swansk: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [09:01] * swansk can't print Korean characters for some dumb reason [09:01] Flannel, alright but other than hd1,0 everything else right? [09:01] swansk: Have you tried asking in #ubuntu-ko? [09:01] Watchbot07: can you get an IP from router? [09:01] ajhtiredwolf: Yep [09:01] flannel: there's a ubuntu-ko? how kickass is that ... [09:01] hello [09:01] Flannel, thnanks that is really helpful, brb gonna see if it works [09:01] nope [09:01] Danish989: There's LoCo teams all over [09:02] legend2440:i hav got this names [09:02] Flannel thanks for your response. I wasn't trying to be rude. [09:02] seriously, I need help to get my wireless working :( [09:02] * swansk *shame* [09:02] * Danish989 wants his workstations to all have different wallpapers :( [09:02] legend2440:# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts [09:02] fe00::0 ip6-localnet [09:02] ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix [09:02] ff02::1 ip6-allnodes [09:02] ff02::2 ip6-allrouters [09:02] ff02::3 ip6-allhosts [09:02] donda: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:02] Watchbot07: tell me how you know you can connect.... [09:02] * mynetdude has had a brief tout with ubuntu... unfortunately I'm using the 64bit edition... and some things are just not possible [09:02] i've been having trouble upgrading my ubuntu, does anyone mind helping [09:02] ok [09:02] Watchbot07: and in your response, try and use my name (helps people know who you're talking to) [09:03] w/part [09:03] Watchbot07: unless of course you're talking to everyone, then that's ok :) [09:03] Spudly: i can see the router in the list and enter the key [09:03] i need some help too. i uninstalled ndiswrapper so the drivers don't conflict, but now i can't seem to get the bcom drivers working [09:03] i guess i should restart [09:03] Spudly: then it does something but i cant get out [09:03] Watchbot07: which key is this? how is your router configured? [09:03] donda: paste your /etc/hostname file in pastebin [09:03] !paste [09:03] 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) [09:03] i went to the update manager to update to 7.0 and got an error box [09:04] Spudly: with wep and the ssid is broadcast [09:04] Watchbot07: ah ok - cool. i had to use manual configuration to get my wireless working [09:04] #ubuntu-ko has 6 people online and their all sleeping. Not much help. Ubuntuforums.org only has someone vaguely talking about this about Chinese characters but I didn't understand the haphazard work around. For example I don't know how to output in PDF. [09:04] im not sure how to correct it [09:04] Spudly: i got it to work in 7.04 but not 8.04 [09:04] Watchbot07: can you see the little network icon (two monitors overlapping) top-right near the time/date? [09:05] If I output in PDF where is the file sent to? [09:05] Spudly: yes [09:05] Watchbot07: select that (left mouse but) and select Manual [09:05] PMing me with any info is acceptable to me. [09:05] Spudly: ok, thats the list where i can see the router [09:06] ok, select Manual configuration [09:06] Spudly: ok [09:07] spudly: I just chose an image for the skydome, but it still doesnt show up when I rotate the cube =\ what do you think is wrong? [09:07] Watchbot07: you should get a box that says "Netowrk Settings" and you should see a list under "Connections" - the first item in the list is hopefully Wireless [09:07] Flannel, thank you so much, it worked. [09:07] Spudly: yeah its my router [09:07] any suggestions to GUI for truecrypt? [09:07] legend2440:ican i change the hostname [09:08] Watchbot07: so I assume the SSID is right. click on Unlock, enter your password, then select the Wireless network connection and hit Properties [09:08] donda: you changed the hostname? [09:08] Danish989: hmmmmm [09:08] legend2440: no [09:08] Spudly: i cant see it right now its a dual boot on this machine and im on win [09:08] Found something....How do I add all used TrueType Fonts to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4???? [09:09] Danish989: if you have any other settings, do they take effect ? [09:09] Spudly: ive gone into the properties before [09:09] legend2440: hostname is=pratik-desktop [09:09] can someone guide me through installing Ubuntu 8.04 [09:09] Watchbot07: cool - didn't want to lose you by assuming [09:09] srizz there might be a video online like youtube that will do that [09:09] i already downloaded it [09:09] Spudly: ok [09:10] Spudly: ive set my wep key there and have done all the type of connections [09:10] Spudly: even tried a static ip but no dice [09:10] Are ATI cards still big trouble in linux? [09:10] ESSID is correct? Password type is "WEP key (hexadecimal)"? network password is your key (without any dashes)? [09:11] donda: ok you are missing two lines in the /etc/hosts file first line should be 127.0.0.1 localhost and second line from top should be 127.0.1.1 pratik-desktop [09:11] Spudly: yeah ive done both hex and ascii, my key has spaces, could that be it? [09:12] Watchbot07: hearin' ya - goto System menu, then Admin, then System Log [09:12] Watchbot07: on the left, choose 'syslog' [09:12] Watchbot07: remove any spaces and try again [09:13] Watchbot07: i think the key has to be all hex or ascii (no dodgey bits) [09:14] Spudly: ok, it works on win, would underscores be ok here? [09:14] Danish989: did you see my q? [09:14] spudly: sorry, I stepped out for a while, hold on let me scroll up [09:15] spudly: what do you mean by other settings? I changed the color of the gradient previously [09:15] Danish989: if you have any other settings, do they take effect immedately? [09:15] spudly: yes, immediately [09:15] Danish989: i'm going to assume you can open that image normally (is it a jpg? png?) [09:16] spudly: Ohh, sonovab**** .. lol, I didnt tick on the square to enable skydome *embaressed* [09:16] Where is opera? I have spent 10 min trying to figure out where my laptop gets it from! apt-get policy on my laptop says 500 http://archive.canonical.com hardy/partner Packages. But I can`t get it on my desktop! First I tried copying over "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu hardy partner" (ran apt-get update) but apt-get policy opera still came up empty... So I tried copying my whole sources.list from my laptop running update [09:16] but I STILL DONAT GET OPERA!? [09:16] Watchbot07: i'd stick with entering it as hex if you can [09:16] http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=71249&highlight=korean+asian+printing Same problem here no solution yet. Blaming Ubuntu not OO on the problem. [09:16] Watchbot07: so I'm assuming underscores would be OK, but hey, it it barfs again remove the underscore and see if it works without it [09:16] legend2440:thanks buddy its done [09:16] Danish989: haha [09:17] Spudly: ok, thanks for the help, i need to hit the sack, cya [09:17] donda: error message gone? [09:17] Danish989: man, I was gonna ask - but I thought..."naaaaah, he's a bright guy" [09:17] Watchbot07: later [09:17] I did not have a problem with printing asian characters in Breezy. I believe this is a relatively new issue. [09:18] dang, this on-topic thing is hard... i keep goin to type and then I get the "Flannel-Eye" :P [09:18] * swansk is worried. Company needs me to print Asian fonts. I don't want to have to wipe Ubuntu and install Windows because of this. [09:18] Ok, seriously, I've gotten myself into a mess now. [09:18] swansk, breezy is no longer supported; consider getting a more recent version [09:18] I uninstalled ndiswrapper throuth the advic eof someone here [09:19] !eol | swansk [09:19] swansk: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [09:19] I am using the MOST RECENT version. I was just commenting that Breezy didn't have this problem. [09:19] got b43-fwcutter and bcm43xx-fwcutter [09:19] reinstalled [09:19] swansk, do you have the asian language packs installed? [09:19] and my wireless card is not being recognized at all [09:19] hi, i have a problem with playing wav files.. when i play little bigger file (size > 100KB) with: aplay /usr/share/sounds/login.wav it works fine but when i try to play shorter file, for example info.wav i get nothing ... info.wav isn't silent [09:19] as far as I know I do. I can view Korean fonts and INPUT THEM. [09:19] i really need the help of someone who actually knows this wireless stuff [09:19] spudly: lol, guess i'm just tired (can't think of anything else to blame it on) [09:20] swansk, you only need Korean? [09:20] bazhang : right [09:20] bazhang : but Chinese it seems is having the same issues. http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=71249&highlight=korean+asian+printing [09:20] swansk, what font/language packs? there are separate ones for OO iirc [09:20] I am not sure. I'll happily tell you if you tell me where to locate them. [09:21] Danish989: so you're set now.... skydome image and all... [09:21] swansk, what about opening synaptic and searching for korean, or apt-cache search korean and installing all you see [09:21] Flannel: when you say off-topic, does that include jokes about configuration of ubuntu? [09:21] ok. I'll try that. To eliminate that possibility. [09:22] I'll be right back [09:22] spudly: yup :) thanks a lot [09:22] PMing me is ok [09:22] spudly: now the only thing bothering me is how to have a different wallpaper for different workstation .. [09:22] how do you de-blacklist something [09:22] Danish989: workspace? [09:22] that's probably the best question [09:22] spudly: yes, workspace, sorry [09:23] [os] Windows XP Professional 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 [cpu] 2 AMD @ 2002.36 MHz x86 Family 15 Model 75 Stepping 2 [memory] 0/2048mb [0.00%] [--------------------] [display] card(s), 1024x768x32bpp - 0Hz monitor [sound] [09:23] [hdd] [C: 225,958.65mb (51,619.89mb free)] [D: 225,958.65mb (51,619.89mb free)] [L: 225,958.65mb (51,619.89mb free)] [L: 225,958.65mb (51,619.89mb free)] [bios] [connection] [09:23] [XP install date] Thu Feb 26 01:00:00 2037 [uptime] 1day 57mins 11secs [record uptime] 1day 57mins 11secs on Jun 20 2008 ::acidmax:: [09:23] Danish989: i tried one suggested idea, didn't do anything - not sure why...

[09:48] ive read the forums [09:49] ishmael^: why do you want to change your mac address [09:49] why would you want to change it? [09:49] and the way inserting a line in /etc/network/interfaces [09:49] does not work [09:49] ishmael^: that can have reasonable complications [09:49] sorry, what ? [09:49] ishmael^: doesn't work ?? your mac address ?? how does it "not work" [09:49] coz of my isp [09:49] ishmael^: please explain [09:49] bXi, how do i do it? [09:49] hfmls: open a terminal and type glxgears [09:50] my isp desires a certain mac [09:50] nothing happens [09:50] hfmls: then i think 3d isnt working [09:50] glxgears: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [09:50] ishmael^: i somehow doubt that [09:50] ishmael^: they contact your ISP and tell them your using a different mac address [09:50] but i dont want to [09:50] bXi: some ISP's do tie broadband connections to specific mac addresses, it's not uncommon [09:51] i know there are ways to override it [09:51] ikonia: yeah but wouldnt the ISP supply a modem with a known mac address? [09:51] is there anywhere on this server I could go to share my art made solely on ubuntu? [09:51] ishmael^: contact your ISP and tell them you have changed your mac address, we are not here to help you get around and break your ISP's Terms and Conditions [09:51] bXi: depends on the ISP [09:51] hi i was using a mist theme, and to make the panel menu size smaller, i was using gtk-icon-sizes="panel-menu=12,12" in .gtkrc. however with murrine, which i now want to use, that does not seem to work, i've tried modifying the theme file itself, to no avail, and i have tried making a .gtkrc-2.0 file in my $HOME, to no avail either. how can i solve this? i basically want to make the menus from the panel stretch half the lenght of the screen rather tha [09:51] n the whole lot. [09:51] Kinch: #ubuntu-artwork [09:51] haha [09:51] Kinch: they would appriciate it [09:51] once i go into sudo apt-get update what should i do next [09:51] #ifconfig $WAN hw ether 00:1B:24:CE:72:81 [09:52] Kinch: also there is an "art work" forum on ubuntuforums [09:52] thank ikonia [09:52] i dare say it works for menus elsewhere. [09:52] well [09:52] dont use my laptops mac address [09:54] kenny: well if that worked ok then you can open system>administration>update manager and check for any new updates if you want [09:54] anyone here with experience in configuring a network? [09:55] zetherol,maybe i can help you ,what's your problem [09:56] all is quiet in ubuntu artwork, for those interested check out http://rethaw.com/wp/videos to see the videos i've made using basic compiz settings [09:56] and video feedback [09:56] is there a howto for xen on 8.04? [09:57] Kinch: thats not really appropriate for this channel [09:57] because https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen seems outdated for previous versions [09:57] Kinch: if -artwork is quiet, leave a message, or make a forum post on the artwork forum on ubuntu forums [09:57] ikonia: my dearest apologies! [09:57] \o [09:57] :/ [09:58] i ear some noises in my 5.1 speakers [09:58] and i'm not listen to any sound :S [09:58] it happens in ubuntu [09:58] some little clap [09:58] like 10 in 10 seconds :S [09:59] where can i get the latest P4M900 VIA Chrome9 driver? [10:00] still cannot update [10:00] hfmls: be careful using ones not provided in the ubuntu repo's [10:00] what da hell [10:00] i pressed num lock [10:00] now every time i write a caracter my pc goes bip bip bip === ali___ is now known as Mo0oSaH [10:01] only in xchat [10:01] Is there a safe way to change my user id? Even when I unlock, the user id box is grayed out in the User Settings app [10:01] anyone? === ali___ is now known as Mo0oSaH [10:01] zethero1: anyone what ? [10:02] xnv,i dont think that you can change your uid [10:02] zethero1: what good is saying "anyone" ? [10:02] May I ask snes9x-related questions in here? [10:02] ikonia, do u know where i can find it ? where can i get the latest P4M900 VIA Chrome9 driver? [10:02] anyone here with experience in configuring a network? [10:02] michael__: You definitely can. [10:02] zetherol [10:02] I asked already above..... :) [10:02] what's your problem [10:02] hfmls: well, you'd either need to look in via for an xorg driver, or the xorg cvs repo [10:02] i installed one that works ok.but still i dont have 3d.. via has support for ubuntu 3d now. [10:02] zethero1: many people, ask the question [10:03] is there an scp GUI version? [10:03] xnv,how can i chang the uid? [10:03] michael__: The usermod command is one option, but I don't know if it'd screw things up in the rest of Ubuntu. [10:03] zethero1: if someone didn't see the question saying "anyone" won't tell them what the question is, if someone doesn't know the answer saying "anyone" won't make them know it [10:03] I would like to assign static ip addresses to the computers on the network.... [10:03] hfmls: whos says via has 3d support ? [10:03] zethero1: ok, I assume they are running ubuntu ? [10:03] I'm having problems with my xorg/fglrx config geting a fatal error and a backtrace. Google suggest it might be a bug in glibc and that recompiling libpixman with gcc 4.1 solves the problem. But how to compile? Anyone? [10:03] well they released drivers 2 weeks ago for via [10:03] ikonia: yes [10:03] 3d [10:04] I would like to assign static ip addresses to the computers on the network... <-- sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 etc [10:04] zethero1: ok, so open system --> administration -> network gui [10:04] xnv, you are right, thank you [10:04] hfmls: who did ? [10:04] hfmls: who released these drivers ? [10:04] zethorol, you can edit /etc/network/interfaces [10:04] via [10:04] ikonia: network settings? [10:04] hfmls: who said these drivers have 3d support [10:05] and that files will keep your configs [10:05] hfmls: so you'll need to get the drivers from via then [10:05] ikonia: by the way 3 are on wireless and one on wired [10:05] zethero1: thats fine [10:05] dpkg problem make me cannot update my ubuntu [10:05] zethero1: they are still just network interfaces [10:05] i had the lkink in windows, googlint it, 1 mnt [10:05] ikonia:yep [10:05] zethero1: just open the gui I told you, and assign IP addresses to the network you want [10:06] ikonia: I just don't know what to put in Gateway address [10:06] zethero1: what is your network gateway ? [10:06] ikonia: I think the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 [10:06] zethero1: ok, [10:06] X,X,X,1 [10:06] mosttime [10:06] zethero1: you need to speak to the person who runs your network [10:06] you need to ask your network administrator [10:06] zethero1: ask him what the gateway for your network is [10:07] ikonia: I dunno what the gateway is ... I thought it was 192.168.1.1 [10:07] zethero1: ask you network administrator [10:07] ikonia: I run the network :) [10:07] ha [10:07] zethero1: come on..... [10:07] zethero1: is this a home network ? [10:07] ikonia: yes [10:07] zethero1: right, so your gateway will mostlikley be your broad band router [10:07] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. <---i having this problem until cannot update my ubuntu. [10:07] Tux Racer, Divx, Xvid, DVD, e até o Compiz (desktop 3D) funcionou! (após algumas configurações). [10:07] if its your home network, why isnt DHCP set up? [10:07] quoting [10:07] hello? [10:07] zethero1: be aware that a lot of routers won't allow use as a gateway unless they give the IP address out by DHCP [10:08] ikonia: DHCP is enabled [10:08] http://linux.via.com.tw [10:08] ... [10:08] zethero1: so why are you assigning static IP's [10:08] ikonia, http://linux.via.com.tw [10:08] hehe [10:08] hfmls: why are you telling me this ? [10:08] ikonia: I thought my gateway was 192.168.1.1 but it does not seem to work [10:08] ikonia,good question [10:08] zethero1: maybe because your router won't allow use as a gateway UNLESS it gives out an ip address via dhcp [10:08] zetherol: tell it to get an IP address automatically, setting up static IP's in your situation is pointless [10:09] zethero1: thats not uncommon for home routers [10:09] hello? is this readable? [10:09] ikonia: becasue I setup apt-cacher to connect to 192.168.1.4 ... but if the ip addresses keep changeing then we are in trouble [10:09] jeroin: yes [10:09] ikonia, a guy said it used drivers for P4M900 VIA Chrome9 from that site: http://linux.via.com.tw but when i go there i can't find P4M900, what do u think i should use ? [10:09] zethero1: use a hostname for apt-cacher === sean is now known as Guest91974 [10:09] If i share my M drive (an NTFS drive) will it become un-shared every time i reboot ubuntu? That seems to have been what happened [10:09] hfmls: I think you should contact via or the guy who told you to use the drivers from that site [10:09] Lets say i have Ubuntu 8.04 and need a VM to run FreeBSD 7 with heavy I/O on Areca, should I use KVM or Xen then? What howto should I use I found one for Xen on the official Ubuntu page but its for earlier Ubuntu versions [10:10] ikonia: all the computers on the network connect to 192.168.1.4 .... can I change it to make them all connect to the name of my pc? [10:10] ok [10:10] jeroin: I'm a firm believer in kvm personally [10:10] zethero1: sure [10:10] ikonia: why? do you have a good howto for it for 8.04? [10:10] can I pastebin the sources.list to you? [10:10] jeroin: https://help.ubuntu.com search for "kvm" [10:11] zethero1: why ? [10:11] ikonia: well... I dunno how to make it point to my pc... [10:11] ikonia: how to I find my hostname? [10:11] zethero1: change the IP address to the name of your PC [10:11] zethero1: "hostname" is the command, and you set it up when you installed ubuntu [10:12] ikonia: hostname in the terminal [10:12] zethero1: yup [10:12] ok.... will try it [10:12] zethero1: see if you can ping it first, to see if your router is acting as a resolver for you [10:12] kenny: what were you doing when you first got that error message? an update or installing software? [10:12] ikonia: oh ... how do I do that? [10:12] ikonia: i found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM but its community document, and i don't know for which Ubuntu version... it doesn't state that... [10:13] jeroin: its 8.04 [10:13] ikonia: ping hostname ? in terminal? [10:14] zethero1: thats right [10:14] an update, legend24440 [10:14] can someone help me with samba permissions....i cant change the folder names from a client pc [10:14] ikonia: ok I did it and its giving me line after line of something..... [10:14] zethero1: I need more info than that [10:14] 64 bytes from zeth-ubuntu (127.0.1.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.039 ms [10:14] ikonia: how do you know? on top it says The previous version of this page (which was documenting KVM for Feisty) has been moved to KVMFeisty [10:14] zethero1: ok, great [10:15] zethero1: are you doing that on a remote age [10:15] jeroin: because I wrote part of it [10:15] ikonia: remote age? [10:15] zethero1: remote machine sorry [10:15] ikonia: I am on my PC..... [10:15] zethero1: well, you need to ping it from a remote machine [10:15] ikonia: OK can you maybe add that its for 8.04 or make this clear for the reader or tell me how i should have known? [10:15] ikonia: ok... from another machine on the network [10:15] sorry...it's install updated [10:15] If i share my M drive (an NTFS drive) will it become un-shared every time i reboot ubuntu? That seems to have been what happened [10:15] not updated [10:16] jeroin: it's not actually for 8.04 specificly, it's a living document, but as 8.04 is current and the previous version was "fesity" - it can only be 8.04 as there is nothing after fesity thats not 8.04 [10:17] jeroin: ahh I see, it could have been gutsy [10:17] jeroin: I'll look at re-wording the intro [10:17] :/ [10:17] ikonia: yes, so i thought, f,g,h :) thanks!! [10:18] this is pure hell [10:18] TMPSAP: do you have a question ? [10:18] making my wireless work in ubuntu [10:18] ikonia: from another computer it says unknown host [10:18] ikonia, yeah sort of how do you make D-Link DWL-G510 work in ubuntu (wireless)? [10:18] zethero1: ok, so your router isn't acting as a dns host, [10:18] TMPSAP: is it visable in the network gui ? [10:19] kenny: lets try it again in terminal type sudo dpkg --configure -a then when thats done type sudo apt-get clean [10:19] ikonia: it was yesterday then it just vanished, apparently I have to compile my own drivers, but im getting tons of errors [10:19] zethero1: login to your router and assign the mac address of your PC to a static IP, so that the PC is still served up by DHCP, however that 1 PC will get a static IP [10:19] TMPSAP: who said you have to compile your own drivers? [10:20] ikonia, a lot 510 users [10:20] ikonia, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=833400 [10:20] ikonia: that is what Iam having a hard time doing in the router [10:20] guys [10:20] wich was the command to test 3d again pls? [10:20] TMPSAP: first line of the guide "These instructions have been tested on Ubuntu 6.10" [10:20] TMPSAP: are you using 6.10 ? [10:21] is there a package manager for ubuntu that can pause and resume getting a file? ive only used apt-get so far and am happy with it but would like this feature [10:21] i dont really like synaptic. not sure if it supports this or not [10:21] ikonia no, 8.04 [10:21] ikonia, are you telling me theres a HUGE diff between gutsy vs hardy in terms of general compiling? [10:22] TMPSAP: 6.10 it's gutsy [10:22] TMPSAP: 6.10 isn't gutsy [10:22] is there a single package in apt that installs large numbers of codecs the way build-essential does for compiling? [10:22] what? 6.10 is gutsy and its not? [10:22] ikonia: I have the DSL-2640U Router/ADSL modem...... and its very different to other Netgear and Dlink units in the layout and wording of things..... so I am confused [10:23] zethero1, do you not have a manual for the router? [10:23] ikonia: well okay, do you have a better guide? [10:23] TMPSAP: 6.10 = October 2006 release - 8.04 = april 2008 release, do think there is no difference [10:23] Anyone know how to map uids when using automount/NFS to mount a disk over the network? [10:23] ikonia, thats not what I said [10:23] TMPSAP: not without looking [10:23] TMPSAP: what did you ask then ? [10:23] Mercuree: yes.... but I am not sure of what I am looking for exactly.... [10:23] ikonia, are you telling me theres a HUGE diff between gutsy vs hardy in terms of general compiling? [10:23] TMPSAP: gutsy is 7.10 [10:23] !xubuntu [10:23] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME.

[10:24] ikonia, I see, well I guess im out of luck then, because thats the only guide ive found for my card [10:24] TMPSAP: massive between gutsy and hardy, and SUPER big between 6.10 and hardy [10:24] Anyone mind helping me, My screen fills up with SQUASHFS errors when I boot the 8.04 Live CD [10:26] legend 2440 [10:27] i have done wat u said [10:27] what should i do next? [10:27] ikonia: does Dynamic DNS sound right? [10:27] The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname in any of the many domains, allowing your DSL router to be more easily accessed from various locations on the Internet. [10:27] hey all! Is there a command to know the amount of memory each process is using? [10:28] kenny: ok now in terminal type sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade [10:28] sinan: Try typing "top" in a terminal, that should give you that sort of information [10:28] sinan: you can use the System Monitor [10:29] DJones: top doesn't seem ot list all the processes. [10:30] sinan: there is a great GUI in System > Administration called System Monitor [10:30] I accidentally added some text to be highlighted in irssi and can't find how to remove it :( anyone help?

[10:57] pvh_sa|wrk: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-motu [10:57] how could/can i compile via driver to latest 8.04 kernel ? :S [10:57] ema92, thanks [10:59] I've got a Thinkpad X61 running Gutsy. The internal LCD resolution is 1400x1050@60Hz. It is in a dock that is connected to an external display that has the exact same resolution. When I reboot with the monitor connected, the Gutsy ThinkPad drives the monitor at 1280x1024@60Hz. The correct resolution doesn't show up in Gnome > System -> Preferences > Screen Resolution. I just tried running the Xorg autodetect and rebootin [11:00] Nevermind! It just started working! [11:00] Thanks! === propeller is now known as jbache === tedjo007 is now known as cow_tampan_bgt [11:01] hi, when i try to apt-get install -f it says: http://paste.ubuntu.com/21592/ can you please help me?

Why are my embedded videos (such as youtube) still choppy?? any ideas? === ubuntu_ is now known as Symbicort [11:12] hi, iwlist wlan0 produces 'no scan results', but network manager finds a lot of waps, is this some sort of resource issue or what causes this? [11:12] http://debian.pastebin.com/m405c4d71 [11:13] http://debian.pastebin.com/m405c4d71 [11:16] ubuntu_: did u test your hard drive? [11:17] How test? [11:17] * JoaoVr Boas [11:17] whats ur pc? and whats ur hard drive? [11:17] What? [11:18] I dont understand where you want. [11:19] ubuntu_: just answer the questions [11:19] What question? [11:19] ubuntu_: read up [11:20] What is your PC? And what is your hard drive? [11:20] That makes no sense. [11:21] ubuntu_: never mind [11:21] hello [11:22] is there virtualbox-kernel module package for -19 kernel somewhere? (amd64) [11:22] the ones in repos are old, latest kernel is -19 but the modules require -18 [11:22] Almindor: last time i checked no.. so i switched to sunXVM [11:22] sucks [11:22] Almindor: yeah === elkbuntu is now known as elky [11:23] I bet the -18 would work, it's not like the kernel's THAT incompatible [11:23] (IIRC -version changes are packaging?) [11:24] how do I find my gateway in Ubuntu? [11:25] zethero1, you mean you have a gateway but don't know it's ip? [11:25] Almindor: yep [11:26] Almindor: there is a Broadcast Address ... but no Gateway!? [11:26] zethero1, "gateway" is a machine, it's a computer/router which provides NAT or such, you have to get it's IP address and set it [11:27] I don't know of an "auto-find-gateway" tho there might be some obscure protocol [11:27] Almindor: well to get into my router I go through 192.168.1.1 [11:27] a safe bet is, if you know your own IP, that it's the network's first one, eg: if you're on 234.234.234.22 then it's probably 234.234.234.1 [11:28] zethero1, that'd be your gateway then [11:28] Almindor: ok.... but when I manually point a computer to that as the Gateway it fails to connect.... [11:28] zethero1, your ip is 192.168.1.somethign right? [11:28] mine is 192.168.1.5 [11:29] zethero1, yeah that computes.. tey to ping 1.1 [11:29] *try [11:29] zethero1, if ping works, you need to set DNS too [11:29] i fixed that murrine thing, by the way, it turns out there were two entries in its .gtkrc-2.0 file for gtk-icon-sizes (for two different items albeit), and that was preventing things from being read correctly. once it hit the second line, the other values defaulted. [11:29] Almindor: pinging works.... how do I stop it? [11:29] zethero1, DNS can be either the same as your gateway, or some obscure number really [11:29] zethero1, ctrl+c [11:29] ok [11:30] zethero1, try to set DNS (the other tab in net settings) to the same ip [11:30] Almindor: configure DNS in my router? [11:30] anyone here with a inspiron 1525 with sound working correctly? [11:30] zethero1, what's your router doing? NAT for a cable connection or such? [11:30] zethero1, if so, you need to set your provider's DNS on your ubuntu machine [11:30] Almindor: NAT is enabled ... DHCP is disabled [11:31] zethero1, eg: in my case I got an old P120 as NAT router for 192.168.0.x network (home net), and 192.168.0.1 is the router's ip (so the gateway), but DNS is given to me by my ISP [11:32] zethero1, so, I set gateway to the router's internal lan ip address and DNS to the provider's DNS one (on the end-user machine) [11:32] hi [11:32] zethero1, there are other ways to do this but this one's simplest [11:32] zethero1, I also use static IPs like you so it's virtually same setting I think (just different ip) [11:32] where can i download firefox3 deb for gutsy? [11:32] Almindor: ok... maybe I should tell you the whole story ... [11:33] he [11:33] zethero1, go on :) [11:34] lol [11:34] I just deleted my main panel for another one, but i dont see my ssytem, tray icons even when i restart. ? [11:34] how to access hidden folders in home folder using the bash terminal [11:34] murlidhar: just cd into them [11:34] where is firefox 3.0 deb final release? [11:35] Flannel, i am not able to do to the hidden folders [11:35] Beats: make a new panel [11:35] Almindor: I recently setup apt-cacher so that all the computers running Ubuntu on the network would connect to my machine (1.4 at the time) to get updates. This was all fina and dandy until I noticed the computers taking on different IP addresses and thereby screwing with the whole setup..... so now I am looking to setup (at least my computer) with a static IP address.,.... [11:35] murlidhar: yes you can, the folders name is .whatever, just cd .whatever [11:35] zethero1, ok, but that doesn't really change anything about what I said about DNS :) [11:35] zethero1, as for your local machine, if you set the apt-source via IP (not host) you don't need to have a DNS entry for the router itself [11:36] Almindor: with previous routers I had an easy time getting around and configuring all this ... but on this particular router I am pulling my hair out [11:36] zethero1, the router provides inernet connection right? [11:36] zethero1, so you have 2 problems, no updates and no internet/DNS [11:37] Almindor: I tried setting up using my hostname instead of ip address but the other computers were not pinging to my hostname for some odd reason [11:37] Flannel, thanks it wasn't autocompleting it , so i thought may it does work that way [11:37] amantiglio: It will be in gutsy-backports eventually [11:37] zethero1, they don't know the name, unless you change /etc/hosts.conf, try pinging 72.14.207.99 [11:37] why cant i access ubuntu forums? it gives me this error: Prefetching is not allowed due to the various privacy issues that arise. [11:37] Flannel, thanks again [11:37] zethero1, if you can ping that IP (with the gateway set to your router) you're online, but with no DNS [11:37] murlidhar: it should tabcomplete, just make sure you have the . [11:37] poisonkiller: #ubuntuforums [11:37] k [11:37] Flannel ..the release final? [11:37] cya guys [11:38] zethero1, you could set up DNS server on the router, but I have no exp. with those [11:38] Almindor: pinging worked [11:38] amantiglio: It should be, yes. Right now its beta4 in backports (and alpha8 in regular) [11:38] zethero1, yeah, basically what you're missing is setting the DNS on each host to your provider's DNS [11:38] Almindor: how can I get the computers to ping the hostname? [11:38] Flannel...when will be the final? [11:39] zethero1, add the entry to /etc/hosts.conf eg: "ROUTER 192.168.1.1" [11:39] Almindor: or can I just assign IP addresses to Mac addresses? [11:39] ey,, i need to convert a line from normal hex, to text, by console, can this be done? [11:39] now there is the b4 in synaptic? [11:39] amantiglio: I don't know. Whenever the backports team gets around to it. Hardy already has final. [11:39] zethero1, err /etc/hosts I mean [11:39] for example mine is: 127.0.0.1 localhost [11:39] 127.0.1.1 XERXES [11:39] 192.168.0.1 LAMER [11:39] 192.168.0.3 SHODAN [11:39] amantiglio: its in gutsy-backports, yes. Which isn't enabled by default [11:39] !paste [11:39] 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) [11:40] come on, 4 lines [11:40] Flannel thanks... [11:40] :) [11:40] zethero1, LAMER is the router :) [11:40] Almindor: LAMER? [11:40] zethero1, but you still need to set the provider's DNS in order to get proper hostname recognition for internet names [11:41] zethero1, same goes for router's DNS [11:41] zethero1, it's a P120, how would you call it? :) [11:41] Almindor: ha [11:41] Almindor: can I change the IP address of my machine back to 1.4? [11:42] zethero1, what do you mean 1.4? [11:42] zethero1, 192.168.1.4? [11:42] Almindor: back to 192.168.1.4 [11:42] zethero1, sure, but each machine in the LAN has to have a unique IP [11:42] Almindor: yes [11:43] Almindor: I don;t undestand what I am seeing in this /etc/hosts file [11:43] Hi, is there anything I can use to add files to an ISO? [11:43] On Windows I used to do it with Winrar. [11:44] zethero1, "hostname IP.IP.IP.IP" pairs [11:44] Almindor: 127.0.0.1 localhost [11:44] 127.0.1.1 zeth-ubuntu [11:44] zethero1, right.. inverted :) [11:44] Vixus: maby maniso [11:44] ok [11:44] zethero1, add 192.168.1.1 router to get a "router" hostname recognition [11:44] *maybe [11:44] Almindor: whats 127.0.0.1? [11:44] zethero1, or whater hostname you wish, you can have more to one ip [11:44] zethero1, localhost [11:45] Almindor: and why does it say my machine is 127.0.1.1? [11:45] zethero1, each machine is 127.0.0.1, it's a loop address :) [11:45] 127.0.0.1 = yourself [11:45] the whole 127.0.0.0 block is loopback [11:45] zethero1, google for localhost [11:45] Does anyone know if there is a way to see which, if any audio/video decoders my version of ubuntu is recognising? [11:46] zethero1, the /etc/hosts file is just a sort of "manual DNS", you just specify hostnames for IPs you need but are not in DNS servers [11:46] Seras_Ubuntu, don'T think so, since there are libs used by several soft, and some soft with their own codec like vlc [11:47] Almindor: so if I am on a machine with an ip address of 192.168.1.2 and I want it to ping zeth-ubuntu (192.168.1.4) I would ..... do this in the file: 192.168.1.4 zeth-ubuntu [11:48] Well, I've spent days installing all sorts of decoders/codecs. And I still can't get it to play even an Mp3. So I'm wanting to see where I stand. [11:48] zethero1, exactly [11:48] Seras_Ubuntu, if you open a mp3 with the media player, it will propose you to install it. [11:48] Seras_Ubuntu: did you install ubuntu/restricted/extras [11:48] Seras_Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats#head-7dc8d31ff5c7ccda3d326c0c17763853d296dc07 [11:49] Seras_Ubuntu, which player do you use? [11:49] . [11:49] Right now, just the 'Movie player' that came with 6.06 (the version I'm running.) [11:50] question: after firefox 3 came out, if i download hardy now will it have the beta still? [11:50] Seras_Ubuntu: Ah! You're on dapper. That changes some things. Were you aware that theres a new LTS version you can upgrade to? [11:50] Seras_Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats#head-99259e1841e1e1262f4f71e0c72d5a51b3fb69e9 is the instructions for Dapper [11:50] itai-michaelson, no it will be the last version, even if it's writtent rc3 [11:51] since rc3 and the release are the same [11:51] itai-michaelson: No, the ISO will still have the old stuff, but 8.04.1 is coming out early next month, which will include updated packages [11:51] I'm on 6.06 LTS. Actually. [11:51] itai-michaelson: there are daily builds [11:51] Seras_Ubuntu: yes, that's dapper. And that last link is instructions for it [11:52] mmm... i get conflicting answers... [11:52] Oh, alright. I'll read that. :P [11:52] is firefox 3 in the repos for hardy? [11:52] Seras_Ubuntu: If you just want the mp3 stuff, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/MP3#head-929f2f9a41824e3726860dc6f810e303e1a074ae [11:52] itai-michaelson: yes [11:52] itai-michaelson: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ [11:52] itai-michaelson, yes. [11:52] Flannel- so if i still get the beta i can just update i suppose,,,, [11:53] itai-michaelson: the Hardy ISO is identical to the day it was created. FF3 (final) is in the repos, and you'll get it with your first batch of updates. Or if you need it on the CD, you can either use daily CDs, or wait until 8.04.1 comes out at the beginning of July [11:53] what can i do to improve the playback quality of videos? the quality here is ****(insert profane word here) [11:54] Flannel, very clear answer - thanks! [11:54] Seras_Ubuntu, just upgrade to 8.04. However, I recommend ytou to re-install on a empty hard drive instead of using any upgrade process. [11:54] guys [11:54] Yeah? I dont' mind reinstalling at all. I just had the 6.06 LTS Disc. I'm sort of new to linux, so I bought a book! [11:54] installed emerald [11:54] how do i aplly themes now ? [11:54] Which, hasn't proved very helpful. >.> [11:55] any chance of firefox3 making it to gutsy repos? [11:55] hfmls, for me, with hardy, emerald doesn't work for an unknown reason. Instead, I instal metacity themes, and it works [11:55] db92: i think you cant do anyting about it ! [11:55] Seras_Ubuntu: Ubuntu has come a long way since 6.06, it's a lot more friendly, and you can upgrade from 6.06 straight to 8.04. Or theres always reinstall, of course. [11:55] how can i unzip something called helpfiles.zip ? [11:56] chalcedony: unzip helpfiles.zip (or just double click on it) [11:56] itai-michaelson: alpha7 or something was shipped with it, beta3 is in backports currently, and final should be making its way to backports eventually. I have no idea on timeframe though. Depends on the maintainer [11:56] whats the right syntax for apt-cdrom [11:56] chalcedony: you have an archive manager installed [11:56] hfmls, go here for some theme: http://gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=101&PHPSESSID=dbffcee6a07cdef0f85a886903c0f173 [11:56] Hello. So, let me understand how Ubuntu handles software updates/upgrades/new-releases. For example, Wine 1.0 will be in the repos, only in Intrepid? And never in Hardy? (Wine 1.0 has been released on June 17, and now, in Hardy's repos, there is Wine 0.9.59.) [11:56] Well, -nothing- is on this HDD, all my files are on an external drive so I may as well just do a fresh install. [11:56] hm [11:56] WalloO, but after i had the theme to emerald [11:57] what should i do [11:57] Flannel, thanks... [11:57] Metatron^: `sudo apt-cdrom add` but, if you installed from the alternate CD, the CD should already be in your sources.list, so you won't need to do that. [11:57] amikrop: It'll be in hardy-backports [11:57] db92: cuz if it was posible i will download all the movies for 200mb and make them DVDs :D [11:57] amikrop: it will be updated [11:57] amikrop: but not everything is put into backports [11:57] Flannel: Just backports? Not the "main" repos? [11:57] i prefer command line [11:57] that did it, i took the source out at one point, thnx [11:57] amikrop: correct [11:57] atle|f: Where? At "normal" repos? [11:58] amikrop: no why would it? [11:58] Flannel: Why? [11:58] cause it would break other stuff? [11:58] all packages stay at the version they where introduced in that release [11:58] amikrop: it WILL be updated later [11:58] hfmls, usually, after puting your theme in emerald, clicking on the theme displayed should enable it. For me, with hardy, it doesn't work, it's why I recommand using metacity theme, and install it using "appearance" soft. [11:58] amikrop: Because versions of things are frozen per release. Only bugfixes/security updates get put into Ubuntu afterwards [11:58] wow now i have lots of *things* [11:59] Flannel: But not new features? [11:59] to ensure compatibility with other packages [11:59] hi anyone know a command to see which font the console is using? :-) [11:59] amikrop: no only in abckports maybe [11:59] amikrop: or get wine-doors [11:59] amikrop: correct. They'll get put into the next release (and on some packages, put into -backports) [11:59] I see. OK. Thanks, guys. [11:59] amikrop: in fact, the guy responsible just asked for a backports sync for wine 1 a few hours ago [11:59] anyone into fonts? [12:00] are they good as emerald? WalloO ? i liked this theme: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Soft+%26+Clear?content=66575 [12:00] Flannel: ;) [12:00] hfmls, unfortunately, it seems there are less good theme than for emerald. [12:00] the_eraser: I like fonts and all but mostly for art work... why? [12:00] damn [12:00] why cant this work? [12:01] i have 8.04 [12:01] and u [12:01] amikrop: But, on another note, the wine people do a good job of maintaining their own Ubuntu repository. That's definately a viable route [12:01] ninjabuntu: ok do you know how to check which font the console is using? :-) [12:01] One thing I will say. I had a HDD that completely went dead on my Windows machine. Put it in an external enclosure. Windows still wouldn't read it. Plugged it into Linux to format it. Popped up like a charm! <3 [12:01] hfmls: do ya know how to install the themes [12:02] how to delete all files ending with .db? rm -R *.db? [12:02] the_eraser: no, sorry buddy I'm pretty much a 2 week newbie... really wish i could help... [12:02] no [12:02] i just add them to emeral [12:02] then i dont know what to do [12:02] hello [12:02] hfmls, I don't know, it worked perfectly for me with 7.10 and with 8.04, it doesn't work. ho yes, one time, the theme appeared but never after... So I don't know. Maybe there are to theme managers fighting, and emerald loose most of the time. [12:02] ok hfmls [12:02] kripz: assuming none of them are hidden, yes. [12:02] the_eraser: try profiles in the terminal window [12:03] where are the themes saved hfmls [12:03] ninjabuntu: ok np :) [12:03] atle|f: oki [12:03] i have a problem with adesklets... when i start it, it close automatically...is it a known problem??? [12:03] hfmls, usualy, you have to run compiz with an option like compiz-real --replace emerald and then it may work [12:03] Micheleee, use screenlet, it works well [12:03] ok.. [12:03] WalloO: he doesnt know how to install them what so ever [12:03] thanks WalloO [12:04] :P [12:04] To get emerald working, install the compizconfig-settings-manager package. Then go to System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings, scroll down to the Window Decorator plugin and change the command field to emerald --replace. [12:04] Dillizar, he seems to say it's in emerald theme manager, but don't know how to enable it. That's my understanding [12:04] Almindor: it just dawned on me that using hostnames instead of ip addresses with apt-cacher is not going to do any good anyhow [12:04] lol [12:05] WalloO: mine was that he has a new theme and dont know how to install it :D who knows [12:05] Almindor: I wish I could just assign my mac address to an ip address .... [12:05] Micheleee, once you install screenlets, you can give a try to my system monitor screenlet: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/WaterMark+system+information?content=71960 [12:05] zethero1: dhcp? [12:05] yes sure [12:05] hfmls: What do ya wanna do [12:05] hi [12:05] gordonjcp: dhcp is disabled... [12:05] hi [12:06] gordonjcp: why? [12:06] i've noticed that the ubuntu version of azureus downloads files a few times slower than the windows version. the configuration is the same in both versions. anyone know a possible explanation for that? [12:06] hi, I have a question: in Windows XP I was able to do something like this: 1. On the monitor to do that: http://home.roxe-multimedia.mobi/ovidiu/example.png 2. On the TV to see that: http://home.roxe-multimedia.mobi/ovidiu/example1.png [12:06] zethero1: dhcp will assign IP addresses by MAC address [12:06] emerald --replace. didnt work [12:06] nice... complete infos... [12:06] it is possible to do this in Ubuntu? [12:06] i'll try to install it [12:06] what can i do to improve the playback quality of videos? [12:06] gordonjcp: can I manually pair a mac address to an ip address for good? [12:07] hfmls: did you restart x [12:07] gordonjcp: I mean ... I know I can becasue I did it on other routers... but this router is such a pain [12:07] hfmls: ctrl alt backspace [12:07] can i use desklets application with screenlets? [12:09] Micheleee, I don't think soo, but you have good applications for screenlets. I prefer screenlet [12:09] ok thanks for your support [12:09] Dillizar, i think youre not getting it [12:09] hey guys [12:10] Dillizar, what i mean is improve the playback quality, not the video quality in the files or something [12:10] how do you change brightness settings in ubuntu HH [12:10] cos i dual boot and i know that the original video quality is pretty good, simply on linux it appears a bit (insert profane word here) [12:10] Micheleee, you are welcome [12:10] soshka: use your monitor options [12:11] soshka: i mean the buttons on your monitor [12:11] its working [12:11] those arent working [12:11] WalloO: i have installed your app...but i can just see cpu usage.. [12:11] where do i have the select all the options? [12:11] you see my ubuntu is very dark and i can change brightness using nvidia settings but each time i restart the settings restart [12:11] Micheleee, you have to launch it several time. Then right click on each one to go to properties, [12:12] is there a way to make the settins stick? [12:12] soshka: edit xorg.conf then [12:12] that way at each boot your settings will automatically be applied [12:12] hi ppl [12:12] Micheleee, then you can configure each one to display whatever you want [12:12] soshka: what video card [12:12] nvidia [12:12] Can you go from a 6.10 system straight to an 8.04, or does one have to go to 7.10 first? [12:12] ok perfetc [12:12] in hardy i'm trying to play with encfs, and i get the error "fuse: failed to open /dev/fuse: Permission denied" - i'm not sure if the fuse kernel module is present or enabled - does anyone know how to check and fix this? [12:12] Please help!!! I turned my computer on and can't turn it back off.. I have not slept for 3 days.. [12:12] soshka: do you have nvidia-settings installed [12:12] yes [12:13] each time i restart the settings go back to old ubuntu settings [12:13] soshka: if not, install it [12:13] what file specifies grub settings? [12:13] Micheleee, in howto.txt there are a few scripts to control fan speed and display more system information... [12:13] massmc: sudo halt -p [12:13] in terminal [12:13] Due to several errors trying to install games through wine, I've decided to switch back to windows. However, after going through the initial setup for windows (formatting to NTFS and installing setup files) my computer starts into a reboot loop. Is windows having a hard time changing the disk format to NTFS or is it a separate issue? [12:13] Micheleee, but be carefull to not burn your system... Playing with overclock and fan speed may be dangerous... :) [12:13] soshka: then alt-F2 and gksu nvidia-settings [12:13] how do I search the files using grep reverse chronologically? [12:13] where can i edit grub settings? [12:14] Yumari: you should ask ##windows [12:14] rubydiamond: you want to tell grep to search a list of files, starting at the youngest and working back? [12:14] Gallez, /boot/grub/menu.lst [12:14] WalloO, thanks [12:14] Gallez: alt-F2 gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [12:14] ccooke: yes [12:14] Riotta, I tried that but it told me to get more coffee [12:15] how can i merge the top bar with programs and the bottom bar with windows? [12:15] atle|f and what does that command do? [12:15] rubydiamond: that'll be a compound command - grep can't do it on its own [12:15] I keep having dreams about Nelson Mandala.. tis why I dont sleep [12:15] rubydiamond: [12:15] massmc: use the force [12:15] :P [12:15] hfmls, just remove the bottom bar, then right click on the top bar and "add to panel" [12:15] soshka: it will start it as root [12:15] rubydiamond: (grep just takes a list of files to search - the only ordering is provided by for it) [12:16] okay [12:16] soshka: and it will stick [12:16] hfmls, you can add all properties from the bottom bar to the top one like that [12:16] rubydiamond: are all the files in the same directory (and can you guarantee they will always be in the same directory?) [12:16] no.. they can also be subdirectories [12:17] but fine they can be in same directory [12:17] can i just remove an entry from /boot/grub/menu.lst if i don't want it to appear on the list? [12:17] rubydiamond: and you want a newer file in a subdirectory to be processed before a file in the root of the search? [12:17] Gallez: you can uncomment with # [12:17] massmc@massmc-desktop:~$ sudu ./use the force [12:17] bash: sudu: command not found [12:18] *frownies* [12:18] that could be better [12:18] yeah [12:18] massmc: sudo [12:18] oh ok [12:18] !sudo | massmc [12:18] i'll try that brb [12:18] massmc: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

[12:18] massmc@massmc-desktop:~$ sudo use the force [12:18] atle|f: so if i don't want the old kernel ubuntu to appear on the list, i just put # in its entry in menu.lst?

[13:04] im tryng ndsiwrapper my self [13:04] can someone help me get my sound to work [13:04] ive been at this for hours [13:04] Oh [13:05] salut tout le monde, je cherche un moyen d'accéder à mes partages samba qui sont protégés par mot de passe (enregistrés dans le trousseu de clef) sans qu'on me demande à chaque fois le mot de passe du trousseau.... [13:05] Dexical, then dunno [13:06] toxic_, english here please [13:06] Hi. When I try to install ubuntu through wubi, I get as far as rebooting, organizing partitions and the actual install starts, but then at ca 15% the computer simply dies. It's an old Dell Inspiron 5150.. I suspect cpu overheating, any other ideas? [13:06] toxic_, #ubuntu-fr [13:06] <[newb]Miki> Hi. I had a problem with my vid card. I asked it in ATI and the guy said there is something wrong with my dri or something, and he told me to say it here. (this is a file that shows the problem or something : http://paste.ubuntu.com/21597/ ) [13:06] cranshinibon, what's the problem? [13:06] sorry, thought i was un ubuntu-fr... [13:06] i have a sound blaster audigy 2 zs and im using the newest version of ubuntu and for some reason my sound just wont work [13:07] <[newb]Miki> wehre can you find a list of hardware? [13:07] i changed it to the right sound card, my device manager isnt saying it needs anything, i unticked the audigy analog/digital output jack and still nothing [13:07] Where can I find missing info files? For example, my 'info kpathsea' page doesn't exist. [13:07] i'm looking for a way to access my password protected samba shared folders (passwords are in the keyring ) without having to enter the keyring password every time i try to get access to it... [13:07] cranshinibon, have you tried plugging in your speakers in various outputs of your card? My old soundblaster works but I have it plugged into another port other than standard. [13:08] How do i stop gnome from snapping to edge of screen when i drag a window near the erdge? [13:08] it is annoying [13:08] Accidus, have you tried synaptic? [13:08] lemme try it now....i figured it wouldnt work bc it worked fine in xp under this port [13:08] What, 'info synaptic'? [13:08] fudus9, metacity or compiz? [13:08] Doesn't work... [13:09] cranshinibon, I understand, I did the same thing. Worth a shot [13:09] metacity [13:09] Accidus, no, you can get loads of docs for programs via synaptic, it's under system - administration [13:09] Accidus there are 2 manual systems, man and info, try info kpathsea [13:09] Tried that dns, it doesn't work [13:09] k just tried all of em....nothin [13:09] oh god [13:10] 20% signal strength [13:10] hello [13:10] !screencast [13:10] Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Gvidcap, Xvidcap, vnc2swf, demorecorder. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. [13:10] HEELP! i get this error http://fpaste.org/paste/2899 when i launch firefox [13:11] No manual entry for strftime how do i get that manfile [13:11] My homepage is http://games.inbox.lv [13:11] filthpig: Erm, I'm a bit new to Ubuntu, I'm using Kubuntu. What did you mean by 'system - administartion'? === lucas_ is now known as lucasrizzini [13:12] lololo: did you recently update it? [13:12] cranshinibon, OK, have you double-clicked your volume control to see if you have the soundblaster enabled? Also, check to see if if you have all the sliders enabled and up close to max. PCM and Wave [13:12] Accidus, oh, I thought you were using the GNOME version of ubuntu. Er, I'm not sure about kubuntu, havent used it for years [13:12] filthpig: what is he trying to do? [13:13] Accidus, pop up a terminal (Konsole) and type "kdesu synaptic" [13:13] I'm looking for kpathsea info page. [13:13] Dexical, start synaptic :P [13:13] yea is enabled as wel as having everything else all the way up...however there is no wave bar under the preferences [13:13] ive got an issue with my BCM4318 (bcm43xx) i've got it working once with ndiswrapper and now it wont work. at all. any suggestions? [13:13] Hmm... I don't think I have synaptic installed. [13:13] I think kubuntu uses adept, and another simpler interface for apt, Accidus? [13:14] Adept rather than synaptic [13:14] okay [13:14] Accidus, try kdesu adept, then [13:14] K icon -> System -> adept [13:14] How do i stop gnome from snapping to edge of screen when i drag a window near the edge in metacity? ubuntu 8.04 [13:14] adept's on [13:14] What should I search for? [13:14] kpathsea? [13:14] Accidus, yeah, or kpathsea info [13:14] just see what pops up [13:15] Already done that. It just gives me the libkpathsea package, which is already installed [13:15] cranshinibon, well, my card is ancient so it still has a wave slider. Do you have a sound card on your motherboard? If so, have you disabled it in your bios? [13:15] NetworkManager isn't working, or at least the front-end applet. It doesn't detect my wireless card, although I can access and configure it through the console with iwconfig/wireless-tools. I can disable wireless, enable it and disable/enable the interface. If I want to right click to connect to any wifi AP, it says "no network device found". Can somone help me figure this out? [13:16] Hello, how to install NVidia driver for GeForce 8400M at 64 bit system?! [13:16] Accidus, there is a possibility that the file does not exist. I dunno about that, though. [13:16] I remembered that you can't use NetworkManager to configure network interfaces if they're specified in /etc/network/interfaces [13:16] Hi [13:16] But only loopback is there [13:16] Accidus, tried this: http://www.nada.kth.se/cgi-bin/info?(kpathsea)Supported%20file%20formats [13:16] Anyone seen a skinnable media player that I can make big buttons for my touchscreen with? (not mythtv as it installs 700mb of junk). [13:16] ushimitsudoki, thanks, this is for somebody... can you see this log please? http://pastebin.ca/1051881 .. not sure what the 'unclaimed' is meaning... [13:16] vlc [13:16] Thanks filthpig [13:17] Im looking for a good RubyonRail editor for ubuntu - what do you recommand Im using? [13:17] or if anyone can see this? [13:17] I'm wondering, though, why there's no info page about it [13:17] i do have a sound card and im pretty sure i disabled it....i took of the onboard sound as well as the instant music config [13:17] (on my machine, that is) [13:17] lololo, the ubuntu restricted driver installer should do that for you. System - administration - restricted drivers [13:17] lololo: ok, thanks. [13:17] but i want OFFICIAL driver pack [13:17] i cant find .run for 8400M [13:18] only 8700M :( [13:18] cranshinibon, you can check if you disabled by plugging your speakers in the onboard port. === fudus9 is now known as fudus [13:18] Hi [13:18] hey all [13:18] kk lemme check then [13:18] fudus9, I'm not on ubuntu right now (running XP, ugh), but I guess it should be under system - prefs - appearance (just a guess) [13:18] Is possible to read/write an OS X leopard HDD in ubuntu? [13:18] <[newb]Miki> I must say you people here are very helpfull -.- [13:19] I need to transfer a file to osx partition [13:19] lololo, you DO get the official from the restr. driver program. Maybe not the latest, but the safest. [13:19] i tried, compiz doesnt work with it ;( [13:19] cranshinibon, check this page as well, http://opensource.creative.com/soundcard.html [13:20] maybe it is too new for uboontoo driver? [13:20] bpun: can you look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log? Perhaps the driver module is failing to load? I am not sure why "UNCLAIMED" is there, and the driver and module are not listed in the "configuration: " line in the output [13:20] ive been to the website but i dont know what to do once im there [13:20] zoliky it should be, does anyone know what file system they use by default? [13:20] Hey guys my wireless doesn't work. Except it does - if I configure it from the command line. I dont want to do this every time, how do I get the applet for NetworkManager to be able to connect to wireless networks on right-click? [13:20] what does the TIME FORMAT in dmesg and logs represent [13:21] cranshinibon, have you read it? You mean you don't understand it? [13:21] can anyone help me with a problem, how do i allow my client to connect to my server once i have reinstalled the server i cant connect using ssh it says i need to modify a file(havent got the file name as of yet, as i havent reinstalled the server last time i ended up reinstalling the client as well) if i just delete the content of the file will it allow me to connect then [13:21] ive read it but im not sure exactly what to do...btw my onboard is still working for some reason [13:22] cranshinibon, your onboard should not be working if you disabled it in your bios. This is most likely your issue. [13:22] Ah! I found it [13:22] My texlive-base-bin-doc package wasn't installed [13:22] Dexical, I guess you can write a script that launches at boot, but I don't know how, sorry [13:23] what does the TIME FORMAT in dmesg and logs represent ,more importantly how can i change it [13:23] Is possible to read/write a HFS+ partition on ubuntu live CD? [13:23] Accidus, oh, that's obvious ;p [13:23] any pointers??? [13:23] I need help getting an iburst pcmcia card to work on ubuntu. Has anybody been able to get this working? [13:23] :-) [13:23] let me double check again its weird that its not opening [13:23] brb [13:23] I have another problem though, although I'm not sure whether this is the right place to ask it [13:23] i use pcmcia 3g modem [13:23] works well [13:24] My headphones used to work up to several days ago [13:24] Accidus, ask and we'll see [13:24] Now they've stopped working [13:24] I suspect this may have to do with Skype, since this is the only application I've installed that may have anything to do with it [13:24] bhc:I'm having problems installing the pcmcia driver form sourceforge [13:24] ushimitsudoki, y the radeon, ati and a fb driver are being loaded... [13:24] I've tried the system->sound system configuration [13:24] and the Kmix application [13:24] my kubuntu auto detect the pcmcia [13:24] but either I'm using them wrong, or that's not the way to ask it [13:25] bpun: hmm, and only one of those is listen in xorg.conf? [13:25] hey all, can anyone help me with an ssh problem should be a quicky [13:25] bhc:did you have you install the drivers manually [13:25] bpun: listen = listed [13:25] nope [13:25] bhcL did you have to install the drivers manually? [13:25] plug and play [13:25] for some odd reason... whenever I click... it's coming out as a double click... suffice to say, it's very annoying [13:25] anybody about the time format in dmesg? [13:25] any ideas? : [13:26] bhc: well, it's not working for me... :-( [13:26] Accidus, hm, you might wanna try the #kubuntu channel, but I guess there's just a setting that's been changed. I guess you can try alsamixer and see if you find anything there. [13:26] ushimitsudoki, correct, just "ati" i believe - will ask him for the log file [13:27] bpun: well, that is my best suggestion to check - i don't have ATI card on this machine [13:27] how to tell grub that partition it need boot is EXT3 ? [13:27] hi, can someone tell me how to start my bluetooth adapter? [13:28] <[newb]Miki> Where can you find a list of all the hardware in your pc?!!! [13:29] [newb]Miki: lspci [13:29] ok so yeah onboard audio is disabled as well as instant music configuration, midi port and gaming port but for some reason its still working when i plug it in [13:29] [newb]Miki, use lspci in a terminal [13:30] <[newb]Miki> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500] <-- it knows my vid is in [13:30] cranshinibon, "instant" music? [13:30] <[newb]Miki> why do i only get 150 fps in glxgears? [13:31] its a dumb little thing under the extras tab [13:31] can someone please help me with a bcm43xx issue? ive followed the tutorials on the forums and had it working once, but now it shows up, but doesn't find a wirelss access point. [13:31] [newb]Miki, appearantly you don't have the 3d acc driver installed [13:31] [newb]Miki run glxinfo [13:31] <[newb]Miki> glx gears is completely rendered by my processor :( [13:31] Tophat, i got it work with ndiswrapper [13:32] remfarkas - me too. [13:32] remfarkas - i can't use the b43 driver - just not up to par just yet [13:32] I get around 4k frames/sec [13:32] hello all [13:32] <[newb]Miki> http://paste.ubuntu.com/21597/ here is the log of the glxinfo [13:32] cranshinibon, and you're sure your soundblaster is the selected device? Using alsa mixer? [13:32] my crontab isnt working in my user, only with sudo [13:33] how can I investigate that? [13:33] <[newb]Miki> filthpig how do i install it? there is nothing in the list at 'restricted' drivers [13:33] [newb]Miki, I have no experience with ati drivers myself, so I don't know [13:33] yeah [13:33] [newb]Miki, installing envy might help [13:33] hi all [13:33] !envy | filthpig [13:33] <[newb]Miki> in #ATI they can't help me :( [13:33] filthpig: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. [13:33] my crontab isnt working in my user, only with sudo. How to investigate? [13:34] is there any repositories for gusty with KDE 4 SVN? [13:34] Setting printer slave terminal in gnome? [13:34] cranshinibon, well, ubuntu is outputting to your onboard audio [13:34] <[newb]Miki> erm i got them, they are under application : systemtools [13:34] join #ubuntu-br [13:34] double click on volume control > file > change device > audigy 2 zs [SB0350] (also mixer) [13:35] anybody know if it's possible to get ubuntu to do dual-monitors with a Y video cable? [13:35] how can i make it output to the soundcard though [13:35] <_eks_> anybody familiar with xmonad ? [13:35] pteague: what?? thats just mirroring screen [13:36] <[newb]Miki> i got an error with envy : card is either not found or not supported [13:36] is there any repositories for hardy with KDE 4 SVN builds? [13:36] <[newb]Miki> where can you find a list of cards that work with envy? [13:36] howdy, i have a laptop, how does it know to do what it does when i press the Fn+X keys? is this an acpi thing? i tried disabling acpid but it still did it [13:36] Setting printer slave terminal in gnome? [13:36] cranshinibon, I can only speak from my experience. I switched off my onboard audio from my bios and then found that I had to change the normal speaker port to another one to get sound. My card is an old soundblaster live. [13:37] Anyone know why USB mice will no longer work on my machine? They light up but I cant move the cursor. Tryed a brand new mouse still nothing [13:37] please someone help me... i finally got wireless working but the signal strenght is a joke.. no its NOT my setup I get 100% in windows, so I know this is related to linux [13:37] hm ill try to switch it again...maybe i missed one....the only thing i find awkward is that the onboard works even under the audigy alsa [13:37] is that normal? [13:37] knetwork tells me 55% and sometimes its down to 20% = UNACEPTABLE [13:38] wire0: what wireless card you use ? [13:38] it's probably releated to this card [13:38] Riotta: D-Link DWL-G510 [13:38] cranshinibon, the OS is porting sound through your onboard apparently, independent of what you select. [13:39] maybe that can be helpful for you wire0: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=176752 [13:39] any ideas? i mean i dont mind using the onboard sound but id much rather use the card ive had for god knows how many years [13:39] Riotta: thanks but that guide is useless [13:40] Riotta: I run into so many compiliing errors im crying [13:40] USB mice will not work on my system ... what can i do ? [13:40] how do you check signal strenght without using knetwork manager? [13:40] how can i setup an ad hoc network in ubuntu? [13:41] cranshinibon, I'm unsure of what else to tell you. My experience is limited to my soundblaster live card. I had the same issues as you and solved them as I've previously described. [13:41] any bash command to verify true signal strenght [13:41] how can I make screenshots of wine-games? [13:41] wire0 try something like "iwlist wlan0" [13:41] I'm gonna buy a new wlan pcmcia (or usb) card very soon. Do you know of any cards (chipsets) that have OPEN SOURCE drivers? [13:42] got no wireless here, so dunno exactly. but i could check on another machine [13:42] hi all, how can i get my ubuntu to just auto update everyday instead of asking me and telling me theres new updates every day? [13:42] filthpig - most linksys products are [13:42] screw it lol ill just use the onboard [13:42] its funny ralikn supports linux [13:42] they have linux drivers [13:43] not that it matters [13:43] tschaka hmm "unknown command" [13:43] cranshinibon, sorry i couldn't get you going, perhaps someone else? [13:43] now how do i get my external hard drive to mount so i can access the files lol [13:43] the bluetooth icon in the tray - should it do something when i click on it? [13:43] I need to calm down im so angry [13:43] wire0, try iwconfig [13:43] Tophat, not the usb device I bought last time ;) Maybe they've fixed that since then, although I haven't heard about it [13:43] you helped me plenty :) lol i wouldnt have even tried the onboard in the first place [13:43] wire0 calm :D eerr, is this card a ralink chipset? [13:44] Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 rev B 802.11g [13:44] iwconfig Link Quality=75/100 Signal level=-28 dBm [13:44] Hi there, I'm trying to set up a software raid1 system, following the instructions available at http://advosys.ca/viewpoints/2007/04/setting-up-software-raid-in-ubuntu-server. But so far I cannot get it to boot [13:44] wire0 ok. signal level is ok. -28 dbm is a quite good value. [13:44] I'm installing from scratch [13:45] wire0: trying to get ralink wireless card to work? [13:45] tschaka: yeah but its not stable, it gose from 75- down to 20% all the time [13:45] yeah [13:45] wire0 general question, do you experience some unstabilities when downloading files from the internet? or moving files on network? [13:45] <[newb]Miki> i need an ATI 7500 mobility radeon driver [13:45] wire0 quality and signal level isnt the same. [13:45] how do i change myself to root [13:45] tschaka i dont understand [13:46] tschake hold on [13:46] hi [13:46] cranshinibon: assuming you've set a root passwd, just use su [13:46] I will start my server, I can leach at 1mB/s with full strenght in windows [13:46] guys how do i send exaile near the clock? like emesene and xchat [13:46] lets see [13:46] oh thats it lol i figured it was different hahahaha [13:46] cranshinibon: if you haven't set a rot passwd yet, use sudo passwd [13:46] ty [13:46] wire0 i mean on ubuntu. [13:46] oh [13:46] !root > cranshinibon (read the private message from ubottu) [13:46] i'm wondering if any taskserver exists for linux, i don't know if such software solution exists in any platform but probably there is. i' need something like rememberthemilk.com but shared by departments, any idea? [13:47] sirlark: please inform users of sudo before recommending that. It's entirely unnecessary [13:47] anyone having problems reaching ubuntu forums today? [13:47] cranshinibon: there is no need to set a root password, and doing so isn't even recomended [13:47] wire0 i'm asking, coz i got 2 machines with rt61 chipset based cards, and both are very very much unstable when moving files on high bandwidth. (also on 250 kB/s) etc. [13:47] how do I find out what files gets installed from a pkg name ? [13:47] from cli [13:47] axisys: dpkg -L [13:47] how do i remove the password then [13:47] how do i send exaile to tray ? [13:48] jrib: dpkg -L ? [13:48] nvm [13:48] wire0 other thing is, you should rather rely on signal level then on quality. as far as i know, this is much more important. you could do e.g. a "ping www.google.se" do found out, if you got packet loss. [13:48] axisys: yes [13:48] jrib: sorry, I'm a gentoo man, never use sudo myself, keep forgetting you ubuntu guys don't like su [13:48] hfmls it is an option in the preferences to use the tray and taskbar [13:48] jrib: thnx [13:49] hfmls click on the tray icon. [13:49] cranshinibon: passwd -l root will lock the account again [13:49] Q: which is the default run level in ubuntu hardy heron ? i cant find /etc/inittab to know it [13:49] x-ip: 2 [13:49] tschaka, i pinged google, 64 bytes from py-in-f99.google.com (64.233.167.99): icmp_seq=1 ttl=238 time=124 [13:49] how do i mount my external hard drive i get an error : Cannot mount volume.

[13:50] wire0 no problem* [13:52] has anyone successfully set up a raid0 machine using ubuntu-server? I can't get my fresh installation to boot [13:52] sirlark what is your problem? [13:53] x-ip: I think it's /etc/event.d/rc-default [13:53] I have a fresh ubuntu server install on a RAID1 (sorry typo in last post) system. I'm getting the BIOS message DISK BOOT FAILURE ...

Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [13:55] sirlark the /boot should not be part of the raid or duplicated with raid 0, best to have grub in the mbr on all drives [13:56] thanks a lot Starnestommy =) [13:56] dns, I have grub setup'd all drives successfully, but don't have a separate boot partition... is this strictly necessary? i.e. I have to reinstall [13:57] Is there a way to limit the upload speed on my PC with ubuntu? [13:57] tschaka hmm is it normal that it takes this long? [13:58] wire0 what do you mean exactly? [13:58] wire0 when cancelling the ping (through ctrl+c) there is a summary. do you see packet loss there?

Can I install ndiswrapper from the ubuntu cd? [13:59] (8.04, 64bit) [13:59] And also, I need the XP 64bit driver for ndiswrapper to work in 64bit ubuntu, right? [13:59] !Mplayer [13:59] mplayer is a media player. It resides in the mutiverse repository and can easily be installed via applications -> add/remove. For codecs try !codecs [13:59] dns53: err, I also have RAID disabled in BIOS, but I was under the impression that BIOS raid was not necessary [14:00] wire0 mmh well the ping seems pretty much high. but as long as you wont play online games this shouldnt matter. at least there is no packet loss, which means your connection should be pretty stable. those fluctuating times could be an issue of the driver (which is still in development) but shouldnt disturb too much.

[14:42] Jack_Sparrow: yeah, true :P [14:42] Jaffarkelshac, displayconfig-gtk does have one now [14:42] Jeruvy did you check the list of supported hardware to make sure your printer was in there and if people were having problems [14:42] i'll take a look for that, thanks guys! [14:42] adante, yes there is? I guess it's under system - administration - screens and graphics?

That's a nice tool to use, it fixed my dual monitor problems, at least [14:46] yes i installed windows first [14:46] prada are you mixing sata and ide drives [14:46] Jack_Sparrow, m1r, prada, this usually only occures if there you are trying to boot grub on a unsupported filesystem (ntfs, reiserfs/patched, ...). Another issue is device.map and SCSI vs IDE in the BIOS [14:46] yes...maybe [14:47] Hey is that thing where you can install Ubuntu inside Windows any good?

[14:47] Jack_Sparrow: xp is there for years , ubuntu was instaled fresh b4 few days on 2nd hdd (64bit) , for grub i think is installed on 1st HD (xp one) [14:47] prada are you mixing sata and ide drives do you understand the question? and how to know [14:47] Jack_Sparrow, I would suggest these people boot off the live cd and run grub-install --recheck [14:47] Dbproguy it is called wubi and comes on the normal live cd, just insert it while running windows and it will come up [14:47] choudesh there is an issue when people mix ide and sata... the drive mapping keeps switching on them [14:48] choudesh , Jack_Sparrow , both my drives are sata [14:48] Dbproguy In my opinion.. no. I wont use or recommend it [14:48] Jack_Sparrow, I know. I have similiar issue - but when I shut down I have script that runs grub-install [14:48] it seems to hang faily easily, to the point that doing long operations on mysql evenutally lose connection... never seen that before on debian [14:48] Dbproguy it should work fine but you have a layer siting between your files and the file system so it can be slower and does not work well if your drive is fragmented [14:48] dns53, yea I know I already tried that, I'm just wondering if it can go faster [14:49] #puppet [14:49] Jack_Sparrow, I really think the issue is fake-raid controllers [14:49] csn you pm me because i cant even reac what you are typing since i'm on palm pilot [14:49] anyone having a problem with COmpiz? it messes up my screen so bad I have to reboot. [14:49] dns53: Sorry to ask - is the network manager = system -> Administration -> Network? If yes, then I've got two wireless connections - should I set them to roam-mode or configurate them manually? [14:49] Sergeant_Pony: whats your command to start it? compiz -- replace? [14:49] Jack_Sparrow, the fake-raid controller boot up with min. firmware emulating an IDE device - but once inside the OS - they load the software raid driver [14:49] dns53 I had already tried partitioning my drive and dual-booting windows and ubuntu but my computer doesn't like partitioning drives, the main partition is locked and is taking up the entire hard drive. [14:50] not sure... where do I lok at the command? [14:50] dns53: It's a WPA2 PSK protected lan [14:50] Dbproguy You cant resize a mounted drive [14:50] Dbproguy look into the gparted livecd [14:51] Jack_Sparrow: What can I do then? [14:51] !gparted [14:51] 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 [14:51] Jack_Sparrow, that's not exactly true... If you are using LVM2 it is possible to extend a partition. [14:51] Dbproguy 50 meg download and a handy tool to have around [14:51] Invader i was thinking more about the icon in the system tray, it looks like you have the drivers working atleast and i don't know your network, give everything a try [14:51] Jack_Sparrow: Okay, thanks! [14:51] hrm ok so i can't use nvidia-settings to configure for xinerama? [14:52] DSpair I base help on standard installs not one of the many different ways people modify it [14:52] Jack_Sparrowe everthing you typed to me ..i couldn't read [14:52] Jack_Sparrow, Understandable. But LVM2 is standard on Ubuntu server... [14:52] prada are you mixing sata and ide drives do you understand the question? and how to know check [14:53] Sergeant_Pony: try compiz --replace in console [14:53] DSpair if he could not resize it.. he was not running server lvm2 [14:53] Jack_Sparrow, Good point. [14:53] nudges Jack_Sparrow about resize2fs for resizing ext3 drives [14:53] dns53: At the network manager in system tray, only the wired connection can be enabled - the wireless cannot... Any suggestion? [14:53] Brother printer installed drivers, not printing docs. Document shows in spool as status 'stopped' generates error reported in bug# 137984. How do I print? [14:53] * DSpair is not the only one picking on Jack.. [14:53] :) [14:53] dns53 not while they are mounted in a live session [14:54] /swap , /root..... /what's the other one???????? I forgot [14:54] harris .home [14:54] @Jeruvy, your Brother printer comes with Linux drivers? [14:54] guys, where i can find a trash for mighting commander? [14:54] * DSpair likes Brother printers... [14:54] Jack_Sparrow: If GParted is only 50 meg can I just stick it on my USB Flashdrive and boot from that? [14:54] Jack_Sparrow yes they can, i did it yesterday but that is a little off topic [14:55] dns53 You should not resize a mounted partition.. [14:55] wireg I got nothing but errors [14:55] Dbproguy more trouble than it is worth [14:55] Jack_Sparrow: devices /sda1 and /sdb1 have marked boot * sign with fdisk -l [14:56] dns53 show me a tutorial where it suggests that it is a good idea. [14:56] m1r sorry to leave you in the middle of that. [14:56] dlozarie: I used the ones 'official' from hardy multiverse [14:56] Jack_Sparrow: no problem , i see u very busy ;) i wait [14:57] @Jeruvy, and you installed them properly and without incident, yes? [14:57] m1r you need to install grub to mbr of the drive that the bios boots.. normally sda but some bios allow you to boot sdb [14:57] Wow I love Ubuntu already, I don't know if it's just the server's I'm downloading from but my download speeds are just about always 10-20% better than what I got with Windows [14:57] Anyone here use netbeans and have it hang on "creating new project"? [14:57] Is there a Linux program similar to CCleaner for Windows? [14:58] I have GSNES9x, and ZSNES. The first does not properly use my joystick. No matter how I set it there is no reaction. It seems to be aware of the controller yet as I said the games do not react. ZSNES is unable to play sound. No clue why, every other application seems to be dandy with sound aside from flash of course. [14:58] dlozarie: what does CCleaner do? [14:58] dlozarie: shred [14:58] oh nope [14:58] dlozarie: not shred [14:58] The nvidia drivers have failed to install this is the log from the installation. http://rafb.net/p/MWGxTc97.html [14:58] Jack_Sparrow: i guess i can do that from livecd , but i dont know how [14:58] dlozarie: there is no registry in linux, thus no need for ccleaner [14:59] oh it does have file erasing too [14:59] m1r Since I am busy .. you can read the grub tutorial... [14:59] !grub [14:59] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [14:59] @NickGarvey, I see. :D [14:59] tnx Jack_Sparrow , i check it out [15:00] dlozarie: yes, they show in printer ok. Print a test page, sends job to queue. Job status is 'stopped'? [15:00] hey,,,,,, which must be bigger..??? /home or /root [15:00] harris /home [15:00] ok..... thankkksss [15:00] Hi [15:00] harris /root 10 gig /hoe 20 or 30 or more [15:00] home [15:00] ! [15:00] hi guys, how do i watch youtube videos in opera? [15:00] @Jeruvy, that's weird... look, I'm no printer/hardware genius, but I'll try to help you as much as possible, mkay? try going to system->administration->printing. :) [15:01] that's a lot of hoes! [15:01] are you french ? [15:01] you probably need to install flash player? ;p [15:01] Cheesypieces have you tried to install flash from the repos yet [15:01] Does anybody know why i have no sound in any browser, in system i has sound? [15:01] im franch !!!!!!! [15:01] ?? [15:01] hum hum [15:01] Hi. I've upgraded the packets this morning and after restart my WiFi isn't working. What could it be? [15:01] any video chat software out there? [15:01] status 'stopped' error reported in bug# 137984. But launchpad is really goofy with bug status, is it fixed or not? [15:01] Can someone help me i need to install latest nvidia drivers but they fail to build [15:01] because i cant get skype to work! [15:02] bonjour !!!!!!!! [15:02] !french ubottu [15:02] how does this work :/ [15:02] french ? [15:02] Factoid french ubottu not found [15:02] !fr | bensimon [15:02] bensimon: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr [15:02] VenkateshH-lapto, amsn maybe? [15:02] X-tremAl_Raven double click the volume icon and run the pcm all the way down and back up.. that seems to take care of some [15:02] yes ? [15:02] Jack_Sparrow: yes, I have - it just shows a grey box where the video should be [15:02] dlozarie: its been open a while... [15:02] does that work? [15:02] let me try that [15:02] i tried openwengo [15:02] @Jeruvy, have you tried printing a test document in OpenOffice.org? [15:02] but my webcam is not detected [15:02] Cheesypieces flash from our repos, not from inside firefox === loner is now known as weirdor [15:03] and i am sure everyone knows the problems with skype! [15:03] hey ubuntuers I use ubuntu for my FLAC music collection and am looking for a new amp I thought this might help us help us :) : http://internet.wikia.com/wiki/Amplifier_Comparison [15:03] is there a way to use the ubuntu/kubuntu CDs as a recovery disk, replacing the base filesystem of a drive without deleting all my specific files on my username? [15:03] VenkateshH-lapto: Did you install your webcam drivers? [15:03] yes i did [15:03] dlozarie: no, only in printer configuration [15:03] Jack_Sparrow: i got it from synaptic... [15:03] the webcam works on skype [15:03] Does anybody know why i have no sound in any browser, in system i has sound? [15:03] i have audio issue there.. [15:03] @Jeruvy, could you try printing from OpenOffice then? Just to check. :) [15:03] dlozarie: I did attempt to print a text doc and a web page, same results [15:03] What kind of joke is that? [15:03] i'll give amsn a try then [15:04] @Aborym, thanks! [15:04] howdy - anybody had any luck force mounting an ntfs volume? [15:04] dlozarie: I do not have oo on this box. [15:05] @Jeruvy, okay. [15:05] X-tremAl_Raven you will need to be more specific, certain people seem to want to waste my time this am [15:05] @Jeruvy, hmm. any suspicions as to what may be causing the problem? Maybe that could help. :) [15:06] dlozarie: other than brother is a pita? not really... :) [15:06] Ubunto 8.04. Some packets were upgraded and upgrade manager said that it needed to restart. Now I'm not able to change the CPU frequency and got no WiFi at all. [15:06] *Ubuntu [15:06] would somebody spare a moment to help me, nvidia drivers are failing to build and this is the log from the failed attempt http://rafb.net/p/MWGxTc97.html [15:06] X-tremAl_Raven ah.. understood... [15:06] @Jeruvy, LOL. Anyway what printer model do you have? [15:07] Thought if this was caused by some of the upgraded packets - then I must not be the first one to have that problem. [15:07] dlozarie: mfc420cn [15:07] @Jeruvy, wow, that's what Brother calls their printers? hmm. okay, I'm googling around. :) [15:08] X-tremAl_Raven any changes in your sources list that may have added to the problem [15:08] dlozarie: been there all day yesterday. Talked to brother support, talked to the printer repair guy down the street. Either the printer communication is fried (I really doubt since I can talk to it and XSANE works) [15:09] @Jeruvy, I found this in the Ubuntu forums: "I'm currently using the 32-bit driver for the Brother MFC420CN on my 64-bit system. That required first installing the csh package, then installing the driver debs with "--force-architecture." If you want yours to run on AMD64, it might be worth a try." [15:09] dlozarie: or ubuntu has a bug [15:09] Does anyone know a good video player for .swf videos (not .flv)? [15:09] dlozarie: its a P3 :) [15:10] Third-party: http://ppa.launchpad.net/robvdl/ubuntu - I use it as the latest django repository [15:10] X-tremAl_Raven yep.. that would do it.. [15:11] X-tremAl_Raven launchpad bit a few people yesterday [15:11] good afternoon [15:11] @Jeruvy, oh, okay. I don't think your printer communication's fried; must be a driver/incompatibility problem, and perhaps a bug in Ubuntu. Which version are you on, btw? Hardy? [15:12] i'm wondering if any taskserver exists for linux, i don't know if such software solution exists in any platform but probably there is. i' need something like rememberthemilk.com but shared by departments, any idea? [15:12] dlozarie: yes === jansen is now known as jansen_na_onco [15:13] ciao [15:13] I had the medibuntu repository included in the software sources for a while but now I've disabled it. There is, however, still a release from that source included in the update manager. I don't want to install it but I can't seem to find a way to remove it. How can this be done? === Linux_ is now known as Guest16777 [15:13] what's the best way to reinstall the version of openoffice that comes with standard ubuntu? something got corrupted with openoffice so I removed it altogether, but when I reinstalled teh package openoffice.org, I get a different theme and it doesn't work with SMB shares [15:13] cacchio ragazzi e troppo un casino [15:14] Guest16777: oh yes, absolutely [15:14] @Jeruvy, have you taken a look at this page? http://is.gd/C6o [15:14] dlozarie: problem is I need a solution, I can't wait 5-18 months for a bug fix....this driver package for brother-lpr was supposed to be it. Since it does work but the job hangs, I'm guessing another issue is at hand, namely the job queue (or whatever its really called) [15:15] ne2k__ you may need openoffice.org-gnome to be able to use the gnome vfs for smb shares [15:15] @Jeruvy, could be, but then again I'm afraid I can't say for sure. [15:15] Jeruvy what make and model of brother printer [15:15] @Jack_Sparrow, he's on mfc420cn [15:16] or he has a Brother mfc420cn printer, I should say. [15:16] Suspend/hibernate still does not work for me in Hardy [15:17] dns53: something's really broken with openoffice [15:17] hello [15:17] one question [15:17] I using a quanta [15:17] and a konqueror for ftp klient [15:17] klient / client [15:17] is there a way to use the ubuntu/kubuntu CDs as a recovery disk, replacing the base filesystem of a drive without deleting all my specific files on my username? [15:17] dlozarie: that is a dated package and does not work on hardy. This is the one I refered from: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/25966 [15:17] Launchpad bug 25966 in Ubuntu Hardy "NEW PACKAGE: Printer drivers for Brother needed" [High,Fix released] [15:17] how to make to open file from ftp in konqueror to run one quanta? [15:18] and if I open next file I open next quanta... [15:18] how to change it? [15:18] @Jeruvy, ah yes, I failed to notice that. Hmm. [15:18] Jeruvy http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=332224 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=105703 [15:19] I have pasted the output here. http://paste.ubuntu.com/21627/ When I try to launch it with the default launcher, it just loads the splash screen and then does nothing [15:19] How do I edit the menu for LILO? Each time I update Ubuntu it adds a new set of menus for linux. I want to delete the extra ones. [15:19] This is the problem atm: status 'stopped' error reported in bug# 137984. [15:19] darklingduck: Lilo or grub? [15:19] my toshiba tecra m8 freezes randomly. running latest ubuntu and up-to-date. logs show nothing. how do i debug the problem? [15:19] Anyone know of a construction calculator for ubuntu? I didn't see any in the repos, and can't find anything on sourceforge either. [15:19] darklingduck you need to remove the old packages with synaptic/aptitude/apt [15:20] Jack_Sparrow: still same error after following livecd part of that guide ... [15:20] Genii: Whatever the default for Ubuntu is......lol [15:20] darklingduck: In that case, grub and not lilo [15:21] darklingduck: As dns53 says then, to just remove the ones you don't want by uninstalling them, it will auto clean up the grub file [15:21] hello all [15:21] hey, i just installed ubuntu 8, but the login i thought i used isn't working, how can I reset the username and password? [15:22] Genii: I am new to Linux, I am not sure what to uninstall. [15:22] i need some help my xfce panel crash disapper now i wanna open in terminal "cfce-panel can only start but when i close terminal it dissaper again how o ? [15:22] need help thk [15:22] all the logs show is "restart" at the time of the hard reset, nothing suspicious before that! [15:23] darklingduck: /boot/grub/menu.lst is the config file [15:23] jtaby boot into a live cd, mount your installed drive, chroot to the place where you mounted that drive, run sudo passwd username [15:24] dns53, i don't have live cd, i have the alternate installer [15:24] grub part is so anoying fragile...

However, my Ubuntu system tells me i only have <2GB of disk space left. How do I increase that? kthx. :D [15:24] darklingduck: For instance if you wanted to remove the 2.6.24-17 entry there, in Synaptic Package Manager remove the package linux-image-2.6.24-17-generic (unless you have 64 bit in which case the -generic part is named differently, etc) [15:25] jtaby even better, put that in, it gives you a recovery option, get it to mount your drive and give you a terminal, once there just run 'passwd username' [15:25] has anyone actually got filesystem restoration through a tar file working? just had to do a fresh install (my WD Raptor died this morning).... hooked up another disk -> fresh install -> restore filesystem from tar archive.... ubuntu now wont load [15:26] just sits there "loading" [15:26] genii, even amd64 use -generic [15:26] is there anything specific you need to do to enable winedos? i want to play simlife? [15:26] wait, that last "?" didn't belong in that sentence [15:27] Az try loading up a live cd/alternate cd, chrooting to your install and running grub-install [15:27] hang on, i'm a fool.

[15:28] jax0x: different desktop environments [15:28] ubuntu dont boot , GRUB error 17 , any help appriciated [15:29] ubuntu = gnome as far as a i know, kubuntu = kde , xubuntu = i dont know, and edubuntu is a interface specifically for education [15:29] Jax0x, go here http://www.ubuntu.com/ [15:29] mlr, i can help you with that [15:29] jtaby yes [15:29] doubled: yes please [15:29] i had it myself as well [15:29] jax0x: depends what you want from it [15:29] Jax0x xubuntu uses xfce, a light weight window manager.

[15:43] mudit, no necessarily [15:43] my toshiba tecra m8 freezes randomly. running latest ubuntu and up-to-date. logs show nothing. how do i debug the problem? [15:43] not [15:43] nictimju technically speaking it is a directory? what's the difference between whatever is in the /dev/ dir and in the /media/ dir? [15:44] tuv: try is it possible to ssh into it while frozen etc [15:44] Mr_Cheeto-> wired? okay, what changes frequently? can you elaborate? [15:44] jtaby i think you are still using the installer as the root instead of your partition, try running chroot /mnt/target or chroot /target [15:44] What's the error say tiger? [15:44] I see you folks are extremely busy so i try to check it myself. no hard feelings fellas. [15:44] none taken [15:44] mudit there are two ways to do this, 1- nuke partitions and create new one (Fast, Reliable). 2 - resize current partitions (much harder, slower, prone to errors) [15:44] nictimju? [15:44] LimCore, no.. that's how i knew it's frozen. does not even respond to pings [15:44] note that /dev points to the physical device, /media/cdrom is the directory which points to it [15:44] found it: mozilla-plugin-gnash [15:44] gstreamer error: There is no gstreamer codec and/or device present. [15:44] amenado, for some reason out of nowhere it seems to contact some unknown DNS server and it pins me with some unkown and non-working IP, it does this all on it's own, is there some sort of refreshing/reseting tool i can dissable? [15:44] Mudit, I would recommend that you back up all your data to DVD's or something then just delete all your partitions and create new one [15:45] so creating a new partition table is better option ! [15:45] nictimju: such bugs are very hard to debug.... google for bugs in mobo/cpu/etc support, and then perhaps file a bug... and perhaps ask LKML/kernel devles [15:45] dns53, when i ran useradd, then passwd, and i tried to login, it said that it couldn't find a home directory (which is understandable) [15:45] idefix: can you type in cdrecord and see what happens [15:45] idefix is your cdrom in your fstab [15:45] tiger, do you have gstreamer installed?

[15:46] spideyman no it is not [15:46] It doesn't work as user nor as root [15:46] last time i fixed it reinstalling alsa but i just want to know if there is any other way and why it happens...

I have two identical SATA Hdd's, partitioned identically {32Mb: boot, 195Gb: root (raid md0), 5Gb: swap (raid md1)}. On reboot I simply get DISK BOOT FAILURE from bios, and I've tried force re-grubbing /dev/sda1 (the 32Mb boot). I've checked that /boot/grub/menu.lst is pointing to the right stugg, but the fact that I'm [15:47] spideyman only cdrom0 and cdrom1 [15:47] LimCore: as it says in the bug, it's not doubling, it's about 1.5x size [15:47] idefix did you try adding it [15:47] Mr_Cheeto what you claim is correct, in order to resolve ip addresses the client is referred to other name servers (which most you do not know) to resolve .

[15:48] how can i config a mic using oss? the only guides i can find just say about alsa [15:48] sirlark are you set properly in the BIOS?

[17:08] thelostolive: 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. :-) [17:09] JC_Denton__: you are falsely assuming the Microsoft tax is fair, or open to reasoning. [17:09] google is not helpful so ill ask here, i know what version of a package I have....I want to compare agains what the repo has w/out installing.....how? [17:09] Bah, I feel so dirty having sponsored MS again [17:09] thelostolive: wat do you want to compare? just versions? [17:09] How come does the wireless icon with green dots not show up? I've installed drivers using Ndiswrapper and I've set all connections (two wireless and this one ethernet) to roaming mode. A wireless router is supplying internet connection. [17:10] yea, what I have against what the repo will upgrade me to [17:10] I know how to get what I have [17:10] thelostolive: dpkg -l name-of-package [17:10] bonjour [17:11] java is installed by default in Ubuntu (firefox) ? [17:11] LimCore: no [17:11] dpkg -l name-of-package is what I have, I know that, I want to know if an upgrade is available w/out installing it [17:11] LimCore, Iced Tea Java is, if I remember correctly. [17:11] hm.. [17:11] I just bought an externtal HD enclosuer (ide->usb). When I plug in to my laptop(Feisty), it does not mount, but does on my desktop (Hardy) [17:11] ok just one question, what should be the size of swap area ? [17:11] using apt-get or somehting [17:12] LimCore, but that may not work with what you're needing. [17:12] so on Ubuntu java applets do NOT work by default? [17:12] mudit: in general, 2x your physical ram [17:12] LimCore: correct [17:12] thelostolive: sudo apt-get update; apt-cache policy the one with asterisks is the one which is already installed [17:12] LimCore, Most will, some will reauire the nonfree java though. [17:12] sanketsu: most .apps work piss-poor to not at all with icedtea [17:12] i m making it 6GB, i have 2 gb ram and 160 of hard drive [17:12] but then again, i havent tested that in about 3 versions of icedtea [17:13] mudit: 4 gb is more than enough, but whatever floats your submarine [17:13] I get some corrupted console characters (on the eeePC), where is the console font(s) stored? [17:13] RAdams, true, I'm an oekaki addict and had to get the nonfree about 3 seconds after installing Ubuntu on my laptop. [17:14] anyone with a Sil3114 controller and a raid 0 working? [17:14] !raid > RAdams [17:14] and what should be the Location of the swap Partition begining or End ? [17:15] mudit: depends on what you want. In general, many people prefer the end. It is best practice to have /boot be the first, regardless [17:15] and i hope making a separate home partition will help me in system restore !

[18:30] on a 64bit intel box, do i need to install the i386 medibuntu or amd64? [18:30] Okay so i go to synaptic and search for compiz-fusion icon [18:30] ummmmmmm search for segfault fglrx_dri.so b6b74000+f30000 [18:30] I'm not familiar with cli why can't I just use the gui? [18:30] Billenium: yea [18:31] see if there are any bug reports or whatever, maybe file your own [18:31] anyone know a way to burn a dvd9 in linux? [18:31] then?

[18:31] I can create folders on the desktop [18:32] im writing this all down first :P [18:32] I can create folders on the desktop though] [18:32] theFATMAN: some said reinstall gnome-applets and gnome-applets-data would work also... is this true?

[18:32] should i just reinstall gnome-applets and gnome-applets-data then? [18:32] because, you can't create folder everywhere without the right permissions... [18:32] yeah, but you need to change the image as well [18:32] Andycas: you could also try out the radeonhd driver, it's been working great for me on my gentoo box (although I don't have the largest graphics requirements...like 3d) [18:33] my background? [18:33] localjoost: well how do I? I guess I need root access to get those permissions? [18:33] Adlai: I will, ill try to get some help from kernel and ati channels [18:33] Billenium: you need the background image to be in your system, not online [18:33] =) [18:33] ohhh [18:33] so, yooshi if you really need to create a folder outside of your home directory, and gnome doesn't let you, open up a terminal and go to the desired place you want to create a folder ( cd /var/www ) [18:33] good lord... the font size sucks in pidgin [18:33] Well how do i change it if i cant right click anywhere xD [18:33] Andycas: good luck sir [18:34] and do sudo mkdir (dirname) [18:34] if you want to be able to write in that folder to, do: sudo chmod (dirname) 755 [18:34] (so i believe) [18:34] probably an easier way though :) [18:34] Hi folks can anyone tell me if there is a problem with a recent update on hardy?

[18:35] cYgII: i have it [18:35] Billenium: yep [18:35] localjoost: don't the permissions come before the directory, or does it not matter?

[18:36] this is silly... not that cli matters, but if there is a gui why can't it be done through gui?

But that was a while back now. [18:58] localjoost thats what I just said...

I'm having issues with build-essential [19:28] SebNaitsabes: graphical boot logos, introduced and developed by SuSE. [19:28] \join brecouilles [19:28] Does any one try the ATI HD2400 PRO on 8.04 [19:28] That link took me to a German (I think) site. [19:28] k1dugar: ok well sure normaly I would go Grub2, but I haven't yet, since I am a bit worried that it will screw things up for me. here's why [19:28] I try some of the commands on the Ubuntu for Macbook help page and it tells me "E: Couldn't find package build-essential" [19:28] I've a problem, when I boot up my computer it just stops at the login and says "Authentication failed". How can I fix this, or how can I get my bookmarks out of .mozilla so that I can just format my system as when I try it says "permission denied" (less preferrable option) [19:29] Boopop you need to enable the right repo for that.. [19:29] !info build-essential [19:29] build-essential (source: build-essential): informational list of build-essential packages. In component main, is optional. Version 11.3ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 6 kB, installed size 48 kB [19:29] ah right, how do I do that? [19:29] does the ATI vs. compiz problem exist on other distributions as well? [19:29] k1dugar: since of the ways my partitions are done now and what not. I have the Ubuntu /boot/Grub folder that is not used by Grub itself since it's on another parttion, but yes everytime it installs a new kernel it will update the menu.lst for that one. and I have to edit my Grub partition manualley [19:29] Synaptic Package Manager? [19:29] Boopop system..admin.. software sources and make sure main is enabled [19:30] k1dugar: so menu.lst in the Ubuntu install gets updated, but I am actasully using another Grub on another partition [19:30] Does there anyone know how to make the hp 6510b's fingerprint work? [19:30] Boopop then sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get install build-essential [19:30] SebNaitsabes: if you install grub2 from synaptic for smooth transitional [19:31] k1dugar: and I assume if I install Grub 2, it will update the Grub in Ubuntu that is not being used. if that goes over my MBR with that Grub, well then fine, but if not well then [19:31] anyone have experience with acer laptops ??? [19:31] hi.... anyone has an old colorpage scanner? [19:31] I do raisefist [19:31] mainly the wireless thats troubling me [19:31] Jack_Sparrow : Everything appears to be enabled under the "Ubuntu Software" tab - There's no option for that repository specifically [19:31] i have a colorpage sp2x and i'm wondering if is possible to make it run in ubuntu [19:31] !vmware [19:31] VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", only for Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it.

[19:32] Boopop gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [19:32] SebNaitsabes: well you must have installed grub from within some os, else you can always fix it via live cd :P [19:32] sebnaitsabes: yessir [19:32] [Maxwell0983] Foxmarks [19:32] stemount^ : it seems my wifi wont work out ofthe box , it detects the atheros HAL but it doesnt connect to anything , is there something ive been doing wrong /??

[19:33] * SebNaitsabes Many wireless companies do not suppourt Linux, hence why a ton of wifi hardware does not just work with Ubuntu and other distros [19:33] albech You mean Intel hasnt provided a driver [19:33] cam some one recomend a good Graphics card for Ubuntu 8.04 (and low price) [19:33] AugCampos:What are "Foxmarks"? [19:34] its been working flawless in 7.10 [19:34] AugCampos: just get a Nivida one or something [19:34] Boopop It should be as simple as removing the # in front of the one for MAIN [19:34] how do i enable xdmcp? [19:34] yeah nvidia cards work no problem :) [19:34] [Maxwell0983] is a Firefox plugin [19:34] AugCampos: and Ubuntu is good enough with pretty much any graphics card. if you want effects though the 3D effects stuff you need something relitavily decant [19:34] ok, so I'm trying to start Xserver on a Ubuntu 8 Livecd... and at the prompt, I type in "startx" and the output is it can't connect to xserver... there's no such process === misiu is now known as freeon [19:34] How do I start the Xserver process? === freeon is now known as yrl [19:35] nm [19:35] Fishscene: startx?

[19:35] k1dugar: you said I can fix with the Live CD. so it is using the correct Grub for everything? [19:35] how do i add users to samba. is there a easy program to set that up and all the shares? if so what is it? [19:36] Jack_Sparrow - This is what it's got for main, I *think* - deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security main restricted [19:36] so there much be some different way 8.04 handles drivers from 7.10 [19:36] Boopop yes... [19:36] no # [19:36] Boopop then sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get install build-essential [19:36] what's new in grub2?

[19:37] can here help me with virtual box? [19:37] SebNaitsabes: the best way to fix it, edit fstab by mounting right boot partition as boot and then update [19:37] ffeynman: uname -a [19:37] i have a strange problem with an atheros pci card (gigabyte ), could someone help me? [19:37] tmapj: yep maybe, what's the issue [19:37] hey i want to play games like counter-strike on ubuntu [19:38] jbroome: thanks! [19:38] adityag: I think that might have a native Linux version [19:38] SebNaitsabes, i dont understand how to make a shared folder [19:38] SebNaitsabes: i have ubuntu 8.04 [19:38] pucko-: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-2.en.html [19:38] tmapj: try the virtulbox channel [19:38] Jack_Sparrow - Hold on, just trying that last command now [19:38] roy I dont know why your link is asking me to download a file.. that isnt how it is supposed to work [19:39] hey i want to play games like counter-strike on ubuntu [19:39] Jack_Sparrow - Looks like it's working, thanks! [19:39] It is a txt file. [19:39] !games [19:39] Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [19:39] donda: that might have a native Linux version [19:39] adityag: linux isn't very good for gaming, it can be done, but you're best bet is to stick w/ linux native games [19:39] Boopop great [19:39] SebNaitsabes, you dont know the answer? [19:39] SebNaitsabes: i have ubuntu 8.04 [19:39] i cant install regnum online [19:39] my grub boot stop working with an error 17 message. how do i fix it? [19:39] where can I find information about ubuntu sync with wm6 [19:39] how do you install a bin file? [19:40] whats w/ linux native games ? [19:40] adityag: you don't know what native games means? [19:40] whik How to install anything in Ubuntu: http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/ [19:40] IndyGunFreak: dont u think we must introduce those games in linux ? [19:40] thanks jack sparrow [19:40] np [19:41] Jack did you see the txt? [19:41] SebNaitsabes: i guess those games like mines, nibble,chess right ? [19:41] hello world [19:41] roy I dont know why your link is asking me to download a file.. that isnt how it is supposed to work [19:41] adityag: its not our decision, write the makers of the games.. would you try to play a windows game on a macintosh, if there was no macintosh?.. same idea... if software developers would make linux versions of their games, there would be no issue [19:41] http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=m1473804a [19:41] it is a text file. [19:41] TOPIC [19:41] guys, where could I find a good vimrc? does it come with ubuntu? [19:41] !pm > UbuntuProblems [19:41] adityag: lol well there are those, but in fact there are a lot of good native Linux games to [19:41] Opera should tell you that it is indeed a text file [19:42] or any other browser... [19:42] .msg [19:42] roy read on how the pastebin is supposed to work [19:42] SebNaitsabes: there are good native linux games.. but what i was saying, his best bet was to stick w/ native linux games [19:42] ffeynman: create one... google "dotfiles" if you want, but it's better to just create one with the options you want [19:42] yes and I was asking if he knew what that meant [19:42] UbuntuProblems: Try reading post #9 to solve your problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442945 [19:42] jrib: ok... [19:42] I am leaving to go see a movie.. play nice [19:42] IndyGunFreak: i understand that....but we should make linux attractive to those game developers [19:42] SebNaitsabes: well i would certainly hope he did. [19:43] I just pasted the text into their pasting place and clicked send. [19:43] Weird my pointer changes when I move it between monitors. [19:43] adityag: again, this is not "OUR" decision, if a software developer chooses to make a game for Windows, and not for Linux, what does "we" have to do with it, [19:43] some of the propritary games companies do their games for Linux, but the open source and free software community have done a load of games that are at the same kind of standard as the propritary sold for games [19:43] can any one tell how to view the source code or vlc player???? [19:43] welkin: to view vlc, run vlc. [19:43] welkin: dl the source from their website [19:44] I'm trying some stuff with the nfs userspace thing, is this the right place to ask a question about it? [19:44] in fact there have been a few articles on that recnetlly [19:44] welkin: apt-get source vlc [19:44] welkin: The source is located on their website [19:44] welkin: apt-get source vlc if you want the source code for the package you get in ubuntu [19:44] Jack_Sparrow, no way sorry..it didn't work :( [19:44] adityag Please take the comments and discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic [19:44] i am quite addicted to linux.....i off-late i have started hating windows, but i cant miss on Counter-strike , and other similar games [19:44] re [19:44] Dusk_Bey what didnt work [19:44] is there somehone so gentle to help me? [19:44] Jack_Sparrow: okkkk [19:44] [R0Y]: , i had downloaded linux server edition (without graphics) .. My Grub does not work. because of the 2 hard disks: linux and windows....

[19:46] i really don't know what to do [19:46] Is there a package for PHP-MSSQL? [19:46] anyone here knowledgeable about samba and any file restrictions? [19:46] Rg12: i'm sure thats frustrating.. have you checked with support for that card? [19:46] i'm not so newbie with unix system [19:47] support with gigabyte? [19:47] some kind of customer care? [19:47] i have thought about, i think that it could be some IRQ trouble [19:47] Rg12: don't use enter to break up your thoughts as it makes it harder to follow what you are saying [19:47] Jack, u here? [19:47] but...why it works if i put the card after grub? [19:48] sorry jrib [19:48] any one can help me to upgrade mysql to the 5.0.51 version? [19:48] does anyone have some idea?

[20:34] !mp3 [20:34] 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 [20:34] SebNaitsabes: Ive missed a lot in the 4 months i was offline [20:34] Andeh: the WIne you get from Ubuntu repo is an older one, but no Wine 1.0 is much better [20:34] Andeh: the instructions are on the Wine site for getting Wine 1.0 and it is much better now [20:35] Andeh: I recommend using the latest possible version of Wine. You can get easy install instructions from the Wine site. [20:35] Andeh: it's worth another try [20:35] Andeh: The latest version has a lot of bugfixes and new DLL files and such. [20:35] i'm installing and it freezes while trying to creat ext3 file system for / in partition #1 of scsi7 [20:35] i would love to have it so that grub doesn't come up and i'm able to boot up Ubuntu automatically [20:35] any ideas what this could be? [20:36] I recommend compiling Wine with sudo checkinstall (instead of sudo make install) so it installs as a deb (and can then be replaced by a repo version if they update before you) [20:36] ipod_touch: Impossible. A boot manager is REQUIRED for any OS to start. [20:36] hi hi [20:36] Andeh: this is how it should be for Windows apps in Linux. run them in Wine, if no luck even after messing around and really got to have that app fine an XP VM [20:36] airstrikeivanov: ahh, it was apache2.2-common that had the files [20:36] thank you [20:36] jtmoney: Ah, no problem. [20:36] airstrikeivanov, yes, but there is a way to make it come up for only a second, no? [20:36] jtmoney: It took me forever to fix the same problem. [20:36] i have a windows boot manager for me to start ubuntu [20:37] shingalated: I believe so. [20:37] what i don't want is that timer that comes up before Ubuntu boots up [20:37] ipod_touch: Bad idea. I recommend using GRUB if you have bboth Linux and Windows. [20:37] I think it is in /boot/grub/menu.lst somewhere [20:37] Yeah, I'm not too sure. I normally don't mess with the boot manager. [20:37] the delay before booting the defualt OS [20:37] well the thing is, Wubi doesn't install with grub coming up when the computer first turns on [20:38] oh...it's wubi [20:38] then I have no idea [20:38] anybody know how to make ubuntu actually bring a window to the front instead of just flashing its icon? [20:38] can i ask a evolution related query here? or is there any other appropriate place? [20:38] click it [20:39] Oli```: why compiling when you have the "official" winehq repo for ubuntu ?? [20:39] ajopual: Evoloution why not just use Mozilla Thunderbird instead? [20:39] nand r u there..... [20:39] ajopaul: Go ahead, Evolution is an Ubuntu-supported program. [20:39] ipod_touch: I'd like it to come to the front automatically... [20:39] I updated 8.04 with all 115 or so updates, and now my network configuration doesn't work (I have no Internet, and am not allowed to change the configuration), and I can't change the resolution. [20:39] Thunderbird is just so...ugly [20:39] does anyone know why the "Connect to 802.1x protected network" doesn't show up in my network configuration? [20:39] oh [20:39] ipod_touch: lol that's what themes are for? [20:39] welkin: you got some tutorial? [20:39] thats true [20:39] but i would like a theme similar to firefox 3 [20:40] which FIrefox 3? Gnome look XP or Visduh? [20:40] Vista [20:40] ya nand i got new ideas..... the first one is to study c and c++ completely [20:40] indeed having a Firefox 3 theme for Linux for Firefox and Thunderbird that looks like Visduh's and another one that looks like XP's would be pretty good [20:40] i already have a gmail configured on it, its been long since i installed it on ubuntu, now any new accounts i add the mails are fethced to the global inbox folder [20:41] and not to a seperate one like i have for gmail. [20:41] in fact there is a Firefox 3 Visduh or XP look for Firefox 2 [20:41] hi, I am using Xubuntu, I have ff3, installed flash. But still cannot watch youtube and other flash icons. [20:42] anyone know about mp3s being distorted in ubuntu? [20:42] zifth: So what does ff say when you go to youtube? [20:42] Can anyone make any sense of this? http://pastebin.com/d71a222d2 I am trying to install sun's version of Citrix and the installer is telling me that the users / groups are not set up correctly. [20:42] welkin: that's a good one. Good luck, you will have a few months to learn and start doing great things === Jonathan-Livings is now known as xxjonathan [20:42] what comand can change my res [20:42] SaveFerris: it doesn't say anything, it just not plays. I mean nothing is on the display. Just WHITE. [20:42] nand wats ur age and wat r u doing in ur life?? [20:42] got acpi problem: [20:42] modprobe acpi [20:43] WARNING: Error inserting processor (/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/drivers/acpi/processor.ko): No such device [20:43] luke_: just do it in the GUI? system preferences screen resoloution [20:43] FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq (/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) [20:43] man this is so annoying. why would anybody imagine this should be the default [20:43] hmm [20:43] zifth: idk sry [20:43] ok [20:43] !flash [20:43] 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 [20:43] dangit... is it too much to ask that i have a browser that isn't full of bugs and crashes all the time?! [20:43] welkin: 22, I'm the Ubuntu brainstorm developer [20:43] I updated 8.04 with all 115 or so updates, and now my network configuration doesn't work (I have no Internet, and am not allowed to change the configuration), and I can't change the resolution. [20:44] graft: which browser? [20:44] nand wat is brainstorm developer [20:44] hi, my screen only goes up to 800x600 so its really small...how do i change it so it can go higher? [20:44] logan_: try system prefrences screen resoloutoin [20:44] Is it possible to use 2.6.25.7 kernel with ATI fglrx? I just did a distro reinstall because it kept giving me white screen of death, only way to get it to work was to use vesa but that is unacceptable!! [20:45] andycas: graphics card issue? [20:45] welkin: just a software developer :) [20:45] SebNaitsabes: the 800x600 is the highest it goes [20:45] SebNaitsabes: Its more like a driver fault [20:45] k... can u suggest me wat r the languages i need to study to built an os completely by me?? [20:45] how do i get my wireless networking to log on to my network and give me a static ip right away [20:45] without having to login [20:46] k... can u suggest me wat r the languages i need to study to built an os completely by me?? nand [20:46] andycas: yes that's what I meant what type of graphics card? [20:46] SebNaitsabes: I posted some xorg logs and it was having some sort of buffer errors [20:46] Assembler [20:46] SebNaitsabes: Xpress1150 [20:46] andycas: so it's not Nivida or ATI? [20:46] dfgas: you should edit /etc/networking [20:46] SebNaitsabes: opera, right now... but konqueror for kde4 is a mass of bugs, and firefox won't resolve DNS for me [20:46] hi, I am using Xubuntu, I have ff3, installed flash. But still cannot watch youtube and other flash icons. I installed the 3 pluggins which it asked me to install but still its not working [20:46] SebNaitsabes: so i can't browse with anything but lynx, basically [20:47] graft: try Galeon and Epiphany :) [20:47] what do i do if i accidently deleted /etc/init.d/network ? [20:47] welkin: I'd say first that building your own OS is just irreaslistic :) But you should really start by learning C. C is a subset of C++, so it's better to start by it. [20:47] graft: altough maybe they sort of use FIrefox, but try them anyway [20:47] SebNaitsabes: ofcourse its an ati card, i wouldnt use flgrx then [20:47] SebNaitsabes: fglrx* [20:47] Agreed [20:48] fglrx is horrible [20:48] dfgas: like in here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo [20:48] nand i know that is tough.... but i just want to know tat..... is c and c++ is enough?? [20:48] andycas: ok so install this envyng-gtk [20:48] i already have a gmail configured on evolution, now any new accounts i add the mails are fethced to the global inbox folder instead of its seperate folder like gmail's [20:48] welkin: it will be difficult because you will have to learn much (read, a few months) before doing very simple things. But once you start to get it, it's wonderful :) [20:48] andycas: or if you want the KDE one envyng-qt [20:48] SebNaitsabes: yeah those don't work, same bug as firefox is crippling them, whatever it is [20:48] welkin: with C/C++, you can basically do whatever you want. [20:48] I put [ 0 2 * * * apt-get dist-upgrade -y ] in root's crontab, but for some reason it's not working every night at 2AM. Can anyone see a problem? [20:48] nand where r u frm?? [20:48] SebNaitsabes: envyng didnt work with the custom built kernel, kept giving me DRI errors because the kernel does not have fglrx module compiled in it [20:48] graft: could just be simpally a currupted profile [20:49] hey, guys.I need to get a serial port working in Ubuntu for Dosemu. Running lshw shows "serial UNCLAIMED" What does this mean, and how do i resolve it? [20:49] andycas: ok I can't help then [20:49] is ubuntu better in playing almost any videos in comparing to windows ? [20:49] Yatas: Yes. As long as you have the right codecs. [20:49] SebNaitsabes: nah, i've deleted my profile a billion times [20:49] right codecs ? [20:50] Yatas, videos require codecs to play, same concept in windows [20:50] Yatas: Just like in Windows, to play certain formats you require the right software to be able to display the content. [20:50] andycas: you should read /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what is wrong with it. [20:50] shouldn't ubuntu be doing that for me while i sit back ? [20:50] Yatas: If you try to play a video without the proper codecs, Ubuntu will ask you to find them to install. [20:50] Yatas, ubuntu will go out and find the codecs for you if you don't have them to start with [20:50] It DOES NOT do it automatically. [20:50] Just one question, will the opensource radeon driver support 3d acceleration (compiz)? [20:50] !multimedia [20:50] Ubuntu 7.04 installs multimedia codecs automatically. For older versions of Ubuntu, or if you can't use the automatic installer, see https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - For multimedia applications, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications [20:51] Yatas, linux in general is better for video given less overhead on the operating system [20:51] ahh good [20:51] andycas: for your board, I think it should. [20:51] andycas: if it works on your card, it will [20:51] thats what i wanted to hear [20:51] andycas: not on that card [20:51] Got no acpi support after latest packet upgrade. What to do? [20:51] andycas: what's your card? [20:51] graft: ATI Xpress 1150 [20:52] Hm, odd, I can't delete the mounted ISO I just mounted. [20:52] I mounted it to ~/.mount and now I can't empty the .mount folder. [20:52] Keeps saying "Read-only file system", even when I sudo it. [20:52] I guess there's no way to do it. This is terrible. [20:52] yay... FF3/google work for me now too [20:53] does ubuntu still have the problem that reduces the HD life-time? [20:53] Anybody know how to get gnome/metacity to actually bring a window to the front instead of just flashing its icon in the appbar? [20:53] airstrikeivanov: maybe because it is read-only. don't isos get mounted like normal cds? [20:53] I mounted a Starcraft ISO [20:53] Normally when I do this it lets me delete it to mount the Brood Wars expansion [20:53] hi all, has Ubuntu switch to some different updating policy. I do not remember installing that much updates in feisty. Don;t get me wrong i am happy with frequent updates, just curious [20:53] anyone able to assist with a serial port? Seems Ubuntu recognizes it, but it is not enabled. [20:53] Wait a sec... But did you unmount it successfully? [20:53] No [20:54] anybody know if linux supports dualview desktop extension on dual monitors? I know it can clone for sure [20:54] I use gnome-mount and click Unmount and it doesn't unmount [20:54] well at least gnome ubuntu [20:54] mynetdude: which gfx board? [20:54] daigorobr I don't remember exactly, its an ATI mobility [20:54] airstrikeivanov: maybe sudo umount ~/.mount [20:54] "Device is busy" [20:54] So, I've heard that the new iPods don't work well with ubuntu, is this true? [20:55] Odd, but Wine isn't running anymore.... [20:55] mynetdude: I got dualhead working with the open source drivers in an xpress200m, flawlessly. [20:55] airstrikeivanov: i hate when this happens. there is something still using your iso. [20:55] How can I find out what it is? [20:55] Cause the INstall.exe/Wine program ended a while ago. [20:55] mynetdude: but can't help 'cause my ati laptop is home. [20:55] daigorobr AFAIK I can get ubuntu to clone what i see on the laptop on an external display, but what about extending the desktop rather than cloning? [20:56] nand any way thanks a lot.............. bye bye\''''''''''''''''' [20:56] mynetdude: skim the net for xrandr tutorials. [20:56] airstrikeivanov: usually i give up when it happens. [20:56] daigorobr ok, well I was just wondering if it could... I'll have to try it and see what it does by default first [20:56] daigorobr: How do I find out what's using the ISO? I need to mount the next disk. [20:56] any ideas on why the "Connect to 802.1x protected network" doesn't show on my network configuration (Hardy) [20:56] airstrikeivanov: apparently there is a way to find it through ps. [20:57] airstrikeivanov: but i am not that advanced to help you now. [20:57] i have a bash script that i'm using to start, stop, and restart my synergy client. start and stop work, but restart just kills the process and doesn't start a new one - can someone take a look? http://pastie.textmate.org/private/eebi0ke3y6sh9govxtwczg [20:57] mynetdude: what are your screens? [20:57] Ah, no wonder [20:57] dbus-launch --autolaunch [20:57] It's trying to autolaunch a Windows CD [20:58] airstrikeivanov: there it is. congrats. [20:58] daigorobr what do you mean? I just have the laptop which is a 15" TFT and a 19" LCD monitor [20:58] Socorro =) todos los iconos de mi escritorio desaparecieron, reinicié y siguen sin aparecer, pero la carpeta "Escritorio" esta todo ok y se ven las cosas [20:58] gonna try it here in a sec [20:58] !es @ Gohalien [20:58] Factoid es @ gohalien not found [20:58] !es | Gohalien [20:58] Gohalien: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[21:04] *info [21:04] i have a dual boot machine running mac os x and ubuntu. i'm trying to backup all the files from both operating systems but my hard drive isn't picked up when i boot into the Mac OS. is there any way I can access all the files in the Mac OS through ubuntu, just to copy? [21:05] Can you just use an external hard drive? [21:05] what you mean by not "picked up" ? you mean you dont see it under ubuntu? [21:06] Gohalien [21:06] ashgarg: you need to get a ext3 reader app [21:06] I'm trying to copy the files onto an external hard drive. The hard drive is accessible via Ubuntu but not via the Mac OS [21:06] for os x [21:06] Gohalien: Use Alt+F2 and call Nautilus. It should be enough. [21:06] Any chance that people are complaining today about the backlight spontaneously going off on their laptops? I'm still on Ubuntu 7.10 and my backlight goes off every couple of minutes on my Dell Inspiron 1520. I can reset it with 'xset dpms force off; xset dpms force on' but that is really tedious. [21:07] hmm, what file system does your HDD have? [21:07] I /think/ this would work ashgarg: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsx/ [21:07] NTFS? [21:07] hello! [21:07] FAT32?

[21:09] I'm having trouble accessing my share folder on my windows computer from ubuntu, but no problems accessing my share folders on ubuntu box from windows box [21:09] well, linux does have beta support for HFS [21:09] so you could mount it... do it was read only though [21:09] hmm, you think maybe /host/ leads to the mac partition? [21:09] i have followed some stuff online but i get the error of a server already active for display 0 [21:09] jsalazar: yo [21:09] okay - could you tell me how to mount it? [21:09] i've searched high and low and all answers i've come up with are for enabling sharing in linux [21:09] dbindner, oh, for me it just dims the backlight as if savinf the battery [21:09] hi (3rd time, next: giving up). am I in vein asking about how to get ubuntu 8.04 installer encrypt only the part that is given to it, so that other OSes can keep the space they already have? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=831469 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=787950 [21:09] has anyone here had any issues getting compiz working under 8.04?

[21:13] guys how do i get pidgen through an ssh tunnel, set the ports manually to the port i assign the ssh tunnel to? [21:13] pilpi, you won't play games on that machine anyway... and the power is only used when accessing the harddisk, you wont see a difference in working with or without a harddisk encryption [21:13] ipod_touch: yeah, you can run ubuntu on a mac natively [21:13] ipod_touch: it's not through parallels, its native [21:14] i wonder if it would be possible to thread all these discussions live so one could just follow some of them [21:14] macmouse: i did fdisk /dev/sda [21:14] now it asks for a command [21:14] oh ok, so there should be a /host/ folder [21:14] p [21:14] i don 't get the option to hibernate. what is the problem? [21:14] type that in any folder [21:14] in the address bar [21:14] macmouse: okay i typed p [21:14] pilpi: it is logged [21:14] ashgarg: did it list the partition table? [21:14] do you see anything or does an error come up? [21:14] Azalar: so sorry, i can't understand you [21:14] macmouse: yes it did, i get a list of partitions [21:15] hey guys, im trying to setup the HUAWEI gsm modem, i already installed the driver, and it is connecting pretty nice with wvdial, but i wanna try to configure the Network window, at gui, to dial correclty, anyone know how can i do this? im doing it because it is my girlfriend laptops and it should be userfrindly. [21:15] ramribeiro: google earth has a sky mode for the stars, maybe thats why its black [21:15] where should I ask about when the latest madwifi modules will be in ubuntu? [21:15] ubuntu didn't take my network card [21:15] =\ [21:15] analyser: maybe with network-manager 0.7 [21:15] ashgarg: could you msg me that list? [21:15] pilpi, thats why you should always adress the person you are talking to ;) so the line gets highlighted... and for a hightraffic channel its quite possible to follow ;D I wonder myself [21:15] apophis, ok. so do you have an idea about the question about keeping a small ntfs partition? or does the "use full disk" really preserve ntfs as is implied here? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=787950 [21:15] daigorobr: i'll look for it [21:16] java applets doesn't seem to work in ff3 on my hardy. [21:16] pilpi: it is logged at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ [21:16] analyser: there is a ppa for it. will get the url. wait. [21:16] macmouse: im actually chatting from a different machine, the one i'm having trouble with doesn't have internet. is there something specific i can tell you from it? [21:16] Ayabara, are you on 64bit? [21:16] Azalar: lolo... the same problem did when i working with OpenGl, on my chemistry packages. every time when i try to rendering some imagens the system crash [21:16] DIL, ok, though that does not really answer my q [21:16] ashgarg, see if you can find the right partition where your mac files are [21:16] does anyone here run boinc? i always get the error message that i can not connect to a client [21:16] DIL, but it don't matter, just wondering out loud [21:16] trainpic, no, 32 [21:16] daigorobr: ok, i dont know, but i have here is too simple, i cant edit many options from the modem [21:17] pilpi: Use full disk will do just that, use the whole disk [21:17] under /host/ [21:17] analyser: https://launchpad.net/~dalbers/+archive | take care and use it wisely. [21:17] I have the DSL-2640U ADSL modem/Router and I would like to assign an IP address to each Mac address on the network... but I cannot where in the world to do this in the firmware.... please help [21:17] OK... scratch my theory [21:17] ramribeiro: heh ok, must be the drivers then [21:17] ashgarg: yeah... well, you can quit it and try them sequentially, since we know what disk it is now [21:17] pilpi, I am not familiar with that method of fulldisk encryption, do you have any pointer to the implementation or the program used? [21:17] ashgarg: so /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2 etc [21:17] i don 't get the option to hibernate. what is the problem? [21:17] if you find the right partition, copy your files from there to your HDD [21:17] analyser: I never used a gsm modem, but I read nm0.7 should do it. [21:17] pilpi: disk encryption isn't really worth the trouble [21:17] apophis: truecrypt is good for that [21:17] Azalar: someone said me once which that problems was stabilized on hardy heron, because it was too on gutsy [21:17] hey is there a ubuntu version of orbit downloader or something similar [21:17] try uninstalling/reinstalling sun-java-plugin. Dunno, maybe FF3 hasn't picked up the plugin [21:17] ipod_touch: i cant actually find a /host/ directory [21:18] hmm [21:18] i need some proxy in Linux [21:18] macmouse: i see all the partitions, is there a way to know which is the mac files? [21:18] Azalar: my drives is ok, i965 packages [21:18] ashgarg: "mount -t hfsplus /dev/sda2 /mnt/" [21:18] hey, what are the steps to take if ubuntu doesn't detect the networking device? [21:18] i can't really help you on this one then because i normally use windows and ubuntu together [21:18] ashgarg: well, it should say hfsplus [21:18] hey does nayone know if the 9800gtx has working drivers in linux and or works well? [21:18] i haven't tried this on a mac yet [21:18] ashgarg: maybe... I don't know if fdisk can tell [21:18] kikr: can u /msg me the output of lspci? [21:18] Azalar, truecrypt has no possibility for fulldiskencryption under linux ;) [21:18] hey is there a ubuntu version of orbit downloader or something similar [21:18] daigorobr: it doensnt a dragon with 7 heads, its a bit simple to use, kppp works pretty fine with huaewi [21:18] unless [21:19] hold on [21:19] apophis, http://news.softpedia.com/news/Encrypted-Ubuntu-8-04-85271.shtml that is all I know [21:19] trainpic, not really. the computer is downstairs. i can retype some of the info though [21:19] pilpi, ty [21:19] apophis: how do you mean, full disk encryption? is can do entire partitions no problem [21:19] analyser: will get one as soon as 3g gets to my region. [21:19] ashgarg, goto the places menu on the menu bar [21:19] ok... [21:19] ashgarg: traditionally, a mac has 3-4 different partitions for drivers and disk information, then one for the actual data - but because you are running ubuntu, it is going to be a custom layout [21:19] macmouse: should it say hfsplus after or before i mount it? [21:19] daigorobr: but this default dialer of ubuntu is too simples, i cant configure the first and second string of modem's dialing [21:19] before [21:19] and see if you see any drives that look familiar from the mac [21:19] pilpi: What's your question? [21:19] gordonjcp, so you prefer exposing your life to anybody? [21:19] analyser: brazilian? [21:19] tell me if you see anything [21:19] macmouse: actually i can see /dev/sda/1 2 3 4 and 5 all for the macs [21:19] Folks any one know how to configure the 3D in a ATI HD 2400 [21:19] anyone? [21:20] ipod_touch: doing that right now [21:20] daigorobr: yeap =) [21:20] hi there - have a small problem just installed my new lexmark t640 printer with ubuntu and a new toner cartridge and all pages are printing black - anyone any ideas tried google [21:20] ashgaras: ok, so try #5... or whichever is the biggest one [21:20] pilpi: eh? [21:20] analyser: beleza. why don't you hard set it through configuration files? [21:20] hey does nayone know if the 9800gtx has working drivers in linux and or works well? [21:20] Flannel, "am I in vein asking about how to get ubuntu 8.04 installer encrypt only the part that is given to it, so that other OSes can keep the space they already have? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=831469 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=787950" [21:20] ipod_touch: i clicked places, and there's only "Computer", "CD/DVD Creator" and "Lacie 120 GB" which is the external [21:20] apophis, ? [21:20] daigorobr: i looked for it, but im not a ubuntu user, i just dont know where is the confs [21:20] pilpi, it looks like its above the partition, so in principal it should be possible to just encrypt part of it [21:20] kikr, on the downstairs computer, try lspci > devices_list, and put the devices_list file on a USB drive and then /msg me the contents [21:20] pilpi: how would I be "exposing my life", as you so floridly put it? [21:20] i don 't get the option to hibernate. what is the problem? [21:21] analyser: will check it out. wait a sec [21:21] macmouse: under the "size" column for the partition table, they all (except the external) seem to have sizes in kilobytes. is this an error? [21:21] alright [21:21] this is really weird [21:21] daigorobr: i hard configured it with wvdial, and worked fine, but i want some graphical tool, because isnt for me [21:21] this is when google comes in [21:21] gordonjcp, well I would be if someone steals my laptop while I am traveling with it. [21:21] pilpi, however you always should have an emergency copy of all data ;) especially things which are encrypted!!!! [21:21] ashgarg: yeah... it is most likly to be the biggest one (but not guarenteed) [21:21] i know Western Digital HDD's work fine with any OS [21:21] hi [21:21] analyser: what if you set up a sh script and put an icon in the desktop or something? [21:21] apophis, surely, but I am doing this for the privacy [21:21] pilpi: [21:22] ashgarg: you could also run "df -k" and if any of them match up, then you know those ones are linux and being used [21:22] pilpi: Manual partitioning, make encrypted LVM on the physical volumes that you created, and it won't touch anything else. You'll *probably* want to have an unecrypted boot separate from LVM [21:22] ahh much better [21:22] analyser: it is a meia-boca, but functional solution [21:22] ashgarg: but that is probably too much info === rick111_afk is now known as rick111 [21:22] pilpi, you can keep the copy somewhere safe! [21:22] ##springitalia [21:22] pilpi: I don't have anything particularly important on my laptop, and when I'm travelling it never leaves my sight [21:22] apophis: what do you mean by full disk encryption? like encrypted a partition? [21:22] analyser: http://gutocarvalho.net/mediawiki/index.php/Instalando_e_configurando_CLARO_3G_no_Ubuntu [21:22] woot my bro wil like this when he gets home [21:22] ashgarg: with it set to hfsplus, it will either work or fail, and if you try 1-5 it should eventually work [21:22] macmouse: when i try to run mount i get the response "only root can do that" [21:22] daigorobr: i though something like this... but im trying to do first in the right way... if it becomes too hard, i'll make it by hand with scripts [21:22] ashgarg: ah, you need to run it inside sudo [21:22] i'm trying to use pulseaudio on hardy, but when running "sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio start" i just get the prompt again and there's no pulseaudio-process running. any ideas what might be wrong here? [21:22] macmouse: am i doing something wrong? [21:22] Azalar, I mean that the root partition is encrypted, where the OS resides [21:23] ashgarg, do you think maybe the Lacie 120 GB isn't compatible with the Mac? [21:23] analyser: so try nm0.7 it can really help you. [21:23] macmouse: what do you mean? [21:23] hello [21:23] ashgarg: you need to run "sudo bash" and type in yourpassword [21:23] apophis: ahh ok, think encfs does that no? [21:23] wot is this [21:23] ashgarg: to get root access [21:23] daigorobr: ok, ill look for it [21:23] pilpi: I could understand those concerns if you were travelling to the USA [21:23] daigorobr: really thanks [21:23] ipod_touch: it can copy files to and from the mac very easily, so i dont see why not [21:23] ashgarg: it is like an extra safety percasuion [21:23] how do i install ccsm in a default ubuntu installation+ [21:23] Flannel, so you know that there is no easier way, it is either total annihilation by the installer or doing it completely independently? [21:23] ok, got another question... is there any way to show users on the "welcome" screen in ubuntu like winXP and Vista do it? [21:23] macmouse: trying that now [21:23] ashgarg: as you can get into /real/ trouble as root very easily === henry is now known as Guest34750 [21:23] analyser: btw, you could put kppp in gnome (horrible, but working). [21:23] hmm, maybe try rebooting the Mac [21:23] jj [21:23] f [21:23] pilpi: Doing it manually isn't difficult [21:23] f [21:23] daigorobr: yeah, i though about it too [21:24] pilpi: Personally, I'd never want LVM to be done for me [21:24] Are ati open source drivers better than fglrx? [21:24] Azalar, there are plenty of methods doing that under linux, however I wasnt aware of a special solution for ubuntu, thats why I asked for his method :) I myself use CompuSec which does crossplatform PBA (Pre Boot Authentication) for linux and windows [21:24] daigorobr: in early days, existed a "gppp" but i dont know if it still exists [21:24] ipod_touch: rebooted the mac loads of times, it just doesnt work [21:24] pilpi: most compuyers allow you to put a pw on the bios and on the hdd - if computer is stolen wont be easy to use unless they know how to clear it and the hdd cannot be used w/o pw [21:24] macmouse: i'm in root, tried the mount command you said above and it says "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2" [21:25] DIL, thats not true, the HDD is always readable even with a BIOS Pass... you just have to open the laptop [21:25] trainpic, sent [21:25] pilpi: It seems that I can run on battery more successfully.... It's dim (as always on battery) but not black so far. [21:25] ashgarg: ah good, that means that # is not right [21:25] any way to make user accounts appear on ubuntu welcome screen rather than having to type in the username? [21:25] ashgarg: so change it to 3, and try again [21:25] apophis: no, some hard disks will not play without a password [21:25] ashgarg: and 4 and then 5 [21:25] daigorobr: i found a gnome pppon [21:25] hey is there a ubuntu version of orbit downloader or something similar [21:25] apophis: at that point you need magic kinky firmware to get them to talk to you === adil is now known as D3vDiL [21:25] gordonjcp, these are rare [21:25] daigorobr: im trying too install and use it, ill run it now [21:25] on my ubuntu install i cant move windows further up than the top bar.. how do i fix this? [21:25] after an update today, I lost all sound! Help! Checked alsamixer and everything, i now only have master volume. before I had tons of sliders [21:25] macmouse: did so, same issue with 3, 4 and 5 [21:25] dbindner, i don't really have much of an idea on your problem [21:25] apophis: yes, they are [21:26] i have a eee pc.. so i need more space [21:26] analyser: g'luck. [21:26] apophis: you will need the pw to boot it [21:26] ashgarg: hrm... well try #1 then.. lol [21:26] Ven]n: It is possible. [21:26] macmouse: hmm same thing [21:26] how do i have seperate folders for evolution accounts, instead of global inbox? [21:26] Ven]n: How much space is being taken now? [21:26] DIL, he doesnt fear that someone can boot the laptop, he fears that his companies secrets get exposed ;) [21:26] kikr, what brand of NIC is it? Or is it integrated on the motherboard? [21:26] apophis: ok [21:26] pdgin started showing me a new user which is identified as first name "icq" and last name "system". it has the number 12111 and can not be deleted - if i delete it, it reappers the next time i start pdgin. how can i change that? [21:26] hey is there a ubuntu version of orbit downloader or something similar [21:26] hi [21:26] how can i get the thing like on DSL which is at the top right hand side of my desktop displaying my computer stats [21:27] daigorobr: i just need to be able to move windows further up than the top bar so i can see the OK, CANCEL buttons [21:27] I have a question about wine [21:27] ashgarg: so is your problem that you can not boot into os x? [21:27] could any1 help me? [21:27] السلام عليكم أنا أبحث عن عرب أين أنتم يا عرب ؟ [21:27] ashgarg: and you want your data? [21:27] Ven]n: Oh! [21:27] trainpic, most likely it is integrated. it's a dell pc. [21:27] aedrill, just ask the question [21:27] macmouse: no, i can boot into and use the mac os perfectly fine. i just cant access the external hdd from it and need to copy the data somehow [21:27] ashgarg: yeah... how did you format that external HD? [21:27] Ven]n: You could go to #ubuntu-eee [21:27] daigorobr: and i think its a compiz issue.. someone said that compiz was default in ubuntu now [21:27] anyone ever tried to install ubuntu 8.04 on an asus eeepc 701? [21:27] ashgarg: under linux? [21:27] daigorobr: indeed, ty [21:27] macmouse: i dont know, is there a way to check? [21:27] !sa | amine [21:28] amine: For the Arabic language or Saudi Arabia you are invited to join للغة العربية رجاء انظم #ubuntu-sa [21:28] Hello all [21:28] well [21:28] I'll ask once more, maybe [21:28] anyone? after an update that required restart, I lost all sound. [21:28] Anybody have problems with no machine nx [21:28] kikir: OK. Can you look up the model of Dell PC and tell me what chipset the NIC card uses? It doesn't show up in the lspci file. [21:28] ashgarg, sometimes with my HDD or flash drive, if it doesn't come up on a particular computer or linux, what i do is goto another pc and safely eject the device, then goto linux or the other pc and try again, and it usually works [21:28] all hints i found to get wifi to work dont help [21:28] could you help me with wine? [21:28] ashgarg: there is, but I don't know of an easy way to do it [21:28] !ask | aedrill [21:28] aedrill: 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. :-) [21:29] !ask | aedrill [21:29] ups sorry [21:29] ashgarg: maybe sda is the external disk? [21:29] ipod_touch: okay i'll try that. it's working successfully with linux, so if i safely eject it from here and then reboot into the mac it may work? [21:29] ashgarg: is that computer online right now? [21:29] Hello, anybody can help me nomachine nx? [21:29] DigiJo_Linux_beg: it went smooth for me. Maybe #ubuntu-eee could help. [21:29] macmouse: ah you may be riiight [21:29] Are ati open source drivers comparable to fglrx? [21:29] i would give it a shot [21:29] so [21:29] macmouse: dev/sda6 is "Lacie d2 120gb" [21:29] because sometimes even my devices do that [21:29] andyca1: no not really [21:30] andycal: for me (xpress 200m) they are better. [21:30] I just installed ubuntu 8.04 and it finds my wireless network fine, but when i try to connect to it i just get the blue spinning circle with the two grey dots and it doesn't connect [21:30] oki thx, i try that channel [21:30] macmouse: unfortunately that computer is not online right now [21:30] hi all, has Ubuntu switch to some different updating policy. I do not remember installing that much updates in feisty. Don;t get me wrong i am happy with frequent updates, just curious [21:30] AHA: are u using WPA or WEP? [21:30] ashgarg: ok, so that makes sense then... so try doing "fdisk /dev/hda" then [21:30] Package xmms is not available, but is referred to by another package. [21:30] how do i fix? [21:30] trainpic, WPA [21:30] ashgarg: if you boot with knoppix you could chroot and do it that way or just mount as root the drives a use the co command [21:30] trainpic, not sure what went wrong? [21:30] i have an interesting question, if i am using pidgin and a msn user is using msn, can they see if im really not idle? please assume that pidgin is set to be idle on last message sent rather than movement of mouse or keystrokes [21:30] I have installed wine, and then I tried to run Baldurs Gate from CD, what should I do, to force Wine to run setup.exe? [21:30] ashgarg: cp command [21:31] hello [21:31] Crash installation nxserver, anybody help... [21:31] arooni: xmms2, maybe [21:31] gavi: I don't think msn reports idle times [21:31] does anybody know how to port-forward within virtualbox ? [21:31] sound not working after update... anyone got any idea [21:31] s [21:31] kikr: No, the kernel doesn't even detect your card as hardware. See if the card is PCI and if so is it slotted fully [21:31] macmouse: that makes sense.. it is the hda drive [21:31] EvilDennisR, are u sure, i think the windows live might [21:31] daigorobr, is there a gUI for that? [21:31] APA: did it ask you for the passphrase? [21:31] ashgarg, did it work at all? [21:31] linux insists on making me have the monitors refresh rate lower than it normally should be... how can i increase it anyway to what its meant to work with? >> [21:32] MrKeuner, 8.04 is still young and some major bugs were found (the worst bug ever too :)) will probably settle (thats IMHO) [21:32] arooni: synaptic. [21:32] ashgarg: ok, so try the same thing but with /dev/hda1, /dev/hda2,etc [21:32] arooni: under system -> admin [21:32] daigorobr, no;; xmms2 appears to be command line only [21:32] gavi: Leme ask.. [21:32] im gona ask in windows [21:32] apophis: which specific bug are you refering to as the worst [21:32] Safely unmount it, then try using the HDD on a Mac [21:32] gavi: I'm 99% sure though [21:32] macmouse: trying to mount it now [21:32] EvilDennisR, ok thanks [21:32] EvilDennisR, you could be right [21:32] arooni: no luck, then. Sorry. [21:33] MrKeuner, the debian SSH bug which was probably the most expensive and most severe bug ever found in open source software, the imparct was huge [21:33] how do I install a key? I want to install google picasa but google is saying I need to install a key first [21:33] i wouldnt be supprised if you were right! [21:33] how do u download last fm tracks on ubuntu? [21:33] i'm trying to use pulseaudio on hardy, but when running "sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio start" i just get the prompt again and there's no pulseaudio-process running. any ideas what might be wrong here? [21:33] apophis: ah, I know that one a little. But what is huge about it? [21:33] does anyone know if ubuntu re-formats external drives as ext2 by default? [21:33] macmouse: you're my hero!! [21:33] macmouse: not if you do not ask it to do [21:34] arooni: in fact, i see no xmms in my repos either. [21:34] daigorobr, wonder what happened [21:34] ashgarg: whew! [21:34] macd, ubuntu does not reformat external drives unless you tell him to do so, with the format you specify [21:34] hello is this story true : http://boycottnovell.com/2008/06/07/ubuntu-remix-codecs/ [21:34] MrKeuner, Every single encrypted connection in the last 2 years with a debian (and derivates like ubunut) machine was basically unencrypted, :) lets hope your bank hasnt used ubunutu [21:34] macmouse: thank you so much, i really appreciate it. you guys are amazing - this will help a lot [21:34] TuniX12, keep on topic ! [21:34] ipod_touch: you too, thanks a lot - loads of help [21:34] did it ever show up on the mac? [21:34] ashgarg: make sure to not touch/write any new files to it, only read the files [21:34] apophis: but isn't that true for all root exploits [21:35] Alright.. I'm soon gonna freak out. NOTHING works when I remove a harddisk that is not the root disk. If I remove it it just runs a check on the disk and says that the file system contains errors.. Is it really impossible to remove ONE worthless disk and then everything f*cks up? [21:35] joaopinto: so it is true!! [21:35] nxserver troubles installation... help! [21:35] OMG [21:35] hello [21:35] apophis: I am aware that ssh bug is not a root exploit [21:35] arooni: lemme check if it is in any ppa [21:35] for some reason the new firefox refuses to connect through a proxy :-/ [21:35] The root disk contains errors i.e. [21:35] ipod_touch: i havent tried that yet, will do so soon.. [21:35] TuniX12, do not be dumb, it is not true, but this is not to chat about every news that some people decides to write, if your question is not support related, use ubuntu offtopic instead [21:35] macmouse: i'll make sure only to read stuff.. thanks! [21:35] ok, i hope my trick works for you. [21:36] The disk I am removing is not even in GRUB, som what could be the problem? [21:36] arooni: https://launchpad.net/~kirkland/+archive [21:36] While I wait for the people I'm helping, where would I ask about the inclusion of the MadWifi drivers that support the AR242x under AMD64? I hate recompiling for every new kernel :-| [21:37] MrKeuner, The Problem is that SSL is so widely used :) Your encrypted emails could've been compromized, encryption is everywhere :) [21:37] trainpic: I think madwifi is tainted by non-gpl code. so it won't be included. [21:37] trainpic, i just checked. it is integrated into the mother board [21:38] apophis: I understand but there will always be bugs in any software [21:38] daigorobr, whats that [21:38] arooni: it is a repository with xmms in it. [21:38] But it is in restricted... because it is used for other Atheros cards. I have had other Atheros cards use and included madwifi driver on Ubuntu. I know it's there, I just need the latest version [21:38] apophis: assuming good people are more than bad people we will detect them before much happens [21:38] MrKeuner, yes! But not every bug has such an impact ;) I dont care if FF3 crashes every 3 months [21:38] arooni: xmms was removed due to numerous crashes, apparently.

But I lost CPU freq scaling and WiFi! [21:40] hm... try booting with the previous kernel, (select under grub at boot) see if that helps. [21:41] tara0101:reinstall your sound driver [21:41] how do u download last fm tracks on ubuntu? [21:41] blumm: is it even possible? [21:41] thiebaude how would I do that?? [21:41] XtremAlRaven: try the same [21:41] daigorobr: i hope so :) [21:41] MrKeuner, yes, the ability to be able to remote login with a server which is not owned by you, is a severe problem [21:41] tara: drivers are part of the kernel, see what I said [21:41] Hi I get this message "This AVI file is broken. Seeking will not work correctly. " with VLC any1 have any ideas? === jrasku is now known as Jigme_Datse [21:41] Ok. But that would mean that this was a pretty shity new kernel!

Still got nothing good. [21:48] joapinto: ok well I setup a repository manually to get google picasa but now how do I add that software? [21:48] Hm, what is seahorse-agent and vino-server?

That sucked better than my brand new vacuum cleaner... Been using Ubuntu since 2005, before that, Debian... must say... Ubuntu is the only thing. [22:17] Boopop, goal of Turkey!!! [22:17] omg [22:17] Compiz is evil :) that is all :) [22:17] haha [22:17] compiz isnt evil [22:18] Compiz is evil when direct rendering is used :OP [22:18] compiz will eventually get usable [22:18] nickrud: Yeah, ok. (This one was the third in the list, yeah :)) But will it be "auto solved" when they reales a new kenel version? [22:18] compiz is already quite usable, but fails with direct rendering :) [22:18] apophis, how can you use it then? I thought Compiz needed direct rendering. I know I can't use it. [22:19] evilbug - I'll give it a test now [22:19] compiz is very nice, if you leave out the cube and all the geegaws, and focus on the stuff that makes your desktop workflow easy [22:19] joaopinto: any idea how to add an app that was added manually? [22:19] ipei: goto synaptic package manager... look for nvidia... choose the generic modules you need. [22:19] Boopop- yeah. [22:19] ipei, possibly, or there'll be some info on what works on ubuntuforums.org . [22:19] who needs direct rendering? Computers are for writing letters, no? === DRebellion_ is now known as DRebellion [22:19] vocx, I mean if other software directly draws to the framebuffer, compiz does aswell, which means both application draw and dont know from each other! this gives flickering [22:20] nickrud: Ok. If it doesn' its quite easy to reinstall Ubuntu. :) [22:20] how do I get that box that I see in the ubuntu tour that you can see more than one desk space or something [22:20] never re-install Linux... Fix it [22:20] geirha: thank you I have to restart gnome, I deleted the file [22:20] apophis, ah, but there is no way to use compiz with only software rendering right? [22:20] re-install is for window$ [22:20] there is some issue [22:21] ipei, heh. And, don't use stuff that doesn't come in packages! [22:21] Baltazaar- i've reinstalled ubuntu before with no problem :P [22:21] me too [22:21] ... [22:21] al: Yeah I know. I just got the problem half-solved so... Buyt thanks for the help, and thanks Nickrud too! :) [22:21] Baltazaar- AND windows AND os x. [22:21] vocx, well in principal it should be possible ;) but you dont want it (1 frame per 10 seconds) so its probably never been tried [22:21] Same! [22:21] evilbug: How do I take 6 1 gig DV files, and mesh them together, so I can edit them all at once with kino? [22:21] yooshi, try "picasa" from the terminal [22:21] apophis, I know [22:21] evilbug - Thats fixed it I think, thanks [22:21] nickrud: Yeah... I know, but I thought "nvidia" was a trust able source :P [22:22] joaopinto: well I'd like to be able to have it as a menu option too but I'll try that [22:22] Just re-installed Ubuntu on a new 7K SATA disk on my ThinkPad. Runs smooth... [22:22] unstable- never used it much before...i guess you just import them into the playlist and drag them into the timeline. [22:22] yooshi, Righ Click on Applications, Edit Menu [22:22] unstable- that's what i usually do with final cut pro. [22:22] and add a menu entry [22:22] Boopop- no worries. [22:22] vocx: what video card do you have? [22:23] crdlb, S3 Unichrome Pro, from VIA [22:23] yooshi you could also add a launcher to desktop for that program too [22:23] nickrud: But I'm learning. I wont do that again... -.- Thanks for the help! [22:23] unstable- once you import them and put them in the timeline,the export will make it one file in the format you want. [22:24] vocx: it's possible that VIA cards might get good 3d acceleration soon; VIA seems to care about fixing their linux drivers [22:24] Anybody reading the "Official" Ubuntu books? Just subscribed to one from Safari Online... That'll be fun bed reading... [22:24] bloodrock: don't think I'd want to clutter up my desktop.. wouldn't that slow things down? [22:24] Does ubuntu have a control panel like OSX? [22:24] crdlb, considering that this chipset was released around December 2005, it was about time. [22:24] yooshi no [22:24] and yes running picasa from terminal worked and brought up the media detector [22:25] Hey guys im tryiung to play my games and all of them lagg. It just happened. How can i stop this lagg. (The games are running through WINE) [22:25] NetEcho- not really. [22:25] Beats, try asking on #winehq [22:25] bloodrock: still... too cluttered of a desktop would make me commit suicide :( [22:25] brb. [22:25] Beats, use a faster computer :) [22:25] I have a fast computer [22:25] it has never lagged [22:25] what Game? [22:26] Counter strike, Half Life, guild wars, Wow, [22:26] all of them [22:26] are any of them even compatible with wine? [22:26] Well then set your settings lower [22:26] yes they work, but... dont ask ;D [22:26] back. [22:26] Beats, lower your settings or get a faster computer :) [22:26] sure they work.... but [22:27] I installed Ubuntu-server kernel for improved memory but nvidia driver won't load.. is this normal? [22:27] apophis, Turkey can't possibly defeat Germany, no way [22:27] this is a desktop box but I'd rather have the ram [22:27] I have an alienware with Intel core extreme processer i don need a faster computer [22:27] yooshi k what bout adding a launcher to your panel [22:27] vocx, But I dont want Germany in a final :P [22:27] i can't raise/lower/mute volume [22:27] apophis, no other way around it === rick111 is now known as rick111_afk [22:27] Core Extreme or Core 2 Extreme? [22:27] lockd: you could just recompile the default... [22:28] apophis, if you don't have any wine specific knowledge then it would be smarter to forward the user to #winehq, instead of providing useless help [22:28] Baltazaar: oh, thanks.. well, I'll still have to get the modules for nvidia won't I? [22:28] Beats, since your issue is wine specific, please try #winehq [22:28] Beats, you dont get it, do you? Emulation needs time, its normal that its slower under Linux, reduce your settings, you can't expect to be able to play with the same settings as in windows :) [22:28] but the Nvidia driver loads as a module, so if it is under /lib/modules/"your kernel, you could try sudo modprobe nvidia [22:29] apophis, again, you are misinformed, wine is not a pure emulator, and some games are know to perform better under wine than they do natively on windows [22:29] Baltazaar: FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia [22:29] joaopinto, I know! [22:29] Baltazaar: that's when I try to modprobe [22:29] better under wine? ;) lol [22:30] can someone tell me a software that installs windows drivers! [22:30] i can't raise/lower/mute volume any ideas about this problem ? [22:30] Nathan406, it is silly to do that? [22:30] lockd: then install gcc and make, kernel-headers, and build the driver from Nvidia's site [22:30] why [22:31] hi.. i have no sound. here is what i know: i have two devices (one onboard, and one pci), but my mixer recognizes both cards, and alsamixer settings are set to high and all channels are unmuted.. still, no sound.. what am i doing wrong? [22:31] i cant get my sound card to work [22:31] Baltazaar: it says those are installed.. how can I be sure it's for the server kernel? [22:31] Nathan406, because it not the same operating system? [22:31] the module you use is for the wrong kernel... lockd [22:31] Nathan406, you can't use windows drivers on linux, not for a sound card [22:31] anyone ever experience audio not working? [22:31] hey guys i just did a fresh install of ubuntu 8 and for some reason it didn't detect what video card i have, now its stuck at 800*600 resolution, how should i go about fixing this? [22:31] how can I get the box on my desktop as shown on the ubuntu tour? [22:31] how do i disable a restricted driver i previously enabled [22:31] Baltazaar: or should I just remove all the other kernels (server and the old one that was updated from)? [22:31] can anyone help me install my ATI All in wonder usb 2.0 tv tuner? [22:31] lockd: don't bother... [22:32] yooshi, please provide a screenshot link, to see if i am familiar with it [22:32] Mo, what driver? [22:32] ati video [22:32] lockd: just download the right driver from Nvidia [22:32] ah.. haven't done a screenshot in linux yet... I'll try [22:32] my friend install the windows drivers for his video card [22:32] It compiles for the running kernel [22:32] lscpi detects the audio card but i can't hear any sound [22:32] and it works [22:32] so basically, sudo for file operation etc and gksu for anything with a gui including gedit. . . i seem to be getting different results wether i use sudo or gksu with gedit, sudo gives me a file that needs premission to open and gksu does not [22:32] so i think it may work [22:33] Can anyone reference a good video DVD creation program? [22:33] vocx: was working just fine, installed the restricted driver, did a bunch of updates, now i get a white screen just after I login [22:33] that was easy [22:33] Xcaliber009: burning, or movie-dvd? [22:33] Nathan406, you obviously don't know what you are talking about, so I suggest you become more knowledgeable first [22:33] so can someone tell me a software that installs windows drivers! [22:33] Xcaliber009, qdvdauthor is excellent [22:33] witam [22:33] ok! [22:34] Nathan406: ndiswrapper? [22:34] sa tu jacys polacy ? [22:34] Nathan406, windows vista [22:34] Nathan406, you can't install use windows drivers with linux, except for very specific cases [22:34] Baltazaar, he is trying to install a video card [22:34] lol [22:34] as for sound configuration, check out the alsa pages on either ubuntu or gentoo forums [22:34] well that will not work [22:34] different code [22:34] let me crash test [22:35] Anyone know why adept ignores requests to install vmware server? [22:35] mess up ma laptop [22:35] dont care [22:35] K`zan, there is no vmware server available from the repositories... [22:35] Mo, well I think there is some menu under System > Preferences, or maybe just use the oopen source driver "nv" [22:35] Use VESA! [22:35] joaopinto: Err, adept says there is ?!?!? [22:36] k'zan really [22:36] K`zan, not on the ubuntu repositories, only if you found a 3rd party one for it [22:36] K`zan, there used to be, not any more, grab the binary from vmware sites and install it manually [22:36] so there is no such think [22:36] frostburn: Got it but evidentally the upgrade to 8.04 hosed it badly - can't remove old thus won't install the new :-(. [22:36] thing* [22:37] K`zan, you can rm /etc/vmware, that does the trick [22:37] Nathan406, perhaps you should phrase your question better, not as a one-liner [22:37] Anyone else hears this noise from car-horns? ;) [22:37] joaopinto: Thank you Sir, much appreciated - will give that a go. [22:37] K`zan, nah just delete out the .. what joaopinto said [22:37] k'zan: I think it just hoses the kernel module [22:37] also, vmware is in adept...

[22:38] i need a [22:38] you should be able to re-run the install script and it will work again [22:38] ah, ops, sorry misunderstood :P [22:38] joaopinto, nothing, i was about to type the same [22:38] window driver installer [22:38] so [22:38] that [22:38] vmware server not installed no change Free virtual machine server from VMware [22:38] i can install my sound card [22:38] niku_, usually yes, but the install script is set up to not install if it's already installed, and if it wasn't installed cleanly before, it won't allow any new installations [22:38] * DIL says that must be an example of sarcasm [22:39] updating repos makes no diff, still there.

[22:56] tommy_: there are commercial and free antivirus programs (avg, for example) just like with windows but not running/installing anything from outside the repos is a good start [22:56] hahaha [22:56] nice [22:57] Oli```, so I should run AVG on Ubuntu to make sure I dnt have a keylogger installed on Hardy? [22:57] tommy, reinstall ? oww :D any other advice pls ? thx anyway [22:57] do you mean to say...linux is not impervious to viruses like macs?! OMG!

I'm saying you *can* use an antivirus to check now but unless you're planning on downloading random untrusted source code or binaries and running those, you should be fine [22:58] whitekidney: go to a computerstore and say: this sucks [22:58] !upnp is To Stream Media to other upnp aware devices (Like XBox, PS3, iRadio or other PC's) you need a upnp Server, ubuntu Repositories (search in / System / Admin / Synaptic Packet Manager for upnp or dlna) MediaTomb is an example upnp Server with Web Interface (sudo apt-get install mediatomb) (web UI: /var/lib/mediatomb/mediatomb.html) (docu: http://mediatomb.cc/) [22:58] joaopinto, sorry I missed it, please tell me again [22:58] nalioth, how can I be sure I dont have any keylogger or spyware etc already on Hardy now?

I tried the 2000 and 3000 driver but neither work. is there any way for me to get my printer working? [23:05] nalioth, just out of curiosity, why cant Hardy get infected with a keylogger and be in my memory right now? [23:05] J2, and fsck does not provide the option to fix it ? [23:05] joaopinto - i could fix all fo them using fsck but the important partition isnt working ^_^ [23:05] it keeps crashing randomly, and for some reason when i highlight the file menu the txt disapears [23:05] barslow, reinstall FF? [23:05] i have a problem- when i click on another workspace icon in the "workspace switcher applet", it no longer switches me to that workspace [23:05] i've tried that [23:05] <[dmsuperman]> tommy_, you'd pretty much need to want a keylogger, or install some third party app without knowing about it [23:05] jaopinto; thank you, you are a legend [23:05] joaopinto - no, it gives that msg about the "bad magic number"... no idea what it means ^_^ [23:06] bart_burroughs - 8.04 [23:06] tommy_, you can't, the same way you can't on any OS unless it was totally developed by yourseld [23:06] [dmsuperman], I have installed a third party app called Keepass. How can I know that didnt contain anything nasty? [23:06] <[dmsuperman]> I usually just research it, see what others have to say [23:06] J2, it seems to me that thart partition is seriously damaged, to an exten that fsck is unable to check it [23:06] tommy_: You can't === tolecnal_ is now known as tolecnal [23:07] J2, can you read from that device using dd ? [23:07] tommy_: read the source code [23:07] joaopinto - whats dd? [23:07] Flannel, so on Hardy, I could have a keylogger from that third party app I installed and never know im infected? no way to check? [23:07] tommy_: to read stdin from linux, you need rights. To install an app that does that you need rights. [23:07] rawb, lol [23:07] joaopinto - and no it cant be mounted, ubuntu doesnt even recognise that it is a ext3 partition [23:07] tommy_: Did you install it with sudo? [23:07] what do you call the codes widgets use to find your place for weather updates???? [23:07] can we just ignore tommy now? [23:07] tommy_: Or, have you used sudo with it in any manner? [23:08] tommy_, please go to google, you seem to be unfamiliar with software an operative systems in general [23:08] J2, yes 8.04 [23:08] I've never seen this before, but when I apt-get install bison, I'm getting a 404 not found. [23:08] <_Gast_355_> http://www.pennergame.de/change_please/7969777/ [23:08] lol.. and you call me condescending [23:08] Same story with Synaptic package manager. [23:08] tommy_, your question is not related to ubuntu, but about using software in general, regardless of the OS you are using [23:08] How do I set up a VNC connection to a PC that expects NTLM authentication? [23:08] lets assume the worst scenario and that I am now infected with a keylogger etc from the Keepass 3rd party app I installed. How now can I check to see if im infected?

[23:08] J2, dd allows to do raw reading, meaning, it doesnt care about the part format [23:09] Indeed the URL generated by both apt-get install and Synaptic Package manager does not exist. [23:09] bart_burroughs - well then I THINK its there. didnt test it yet though. if its not here try searching for the setting that is the equivalent to the domain name in windows. like "mshome" by default in windows [23:09] it would be just to check if you can do disk I/O to the device [23:09] Can someone please help? [23:09] Flannel, it now loads and runs without needing to use sudo all the time. is that a good sign? [23:09] tommy_: have you run any programs using your 'sudo' password that you didn't know what they did? [23:09] J2, went into network settings, general, set domain as MSHOME which is how I see the xp machine on hardy and re-booted. is this correct [23:09] J2, if you do not, then you have an hw failure [23:09] nalioth, I cannot remember. [23:09] joaopinto - how can i read from it using dd? [23:09] tommy_: When you installed it, it *could* have installed anything anywhere, including overwriting key system files to hide itself from you, etc. The question is, do you trust where you got it from? [23:09] tommy_: check /etc/sudoers file... [23:09] bart_burroughs - yeah [23:09] J2, dd if=device of=/dev/null [23:09] silly question probably but its annoying me, what to I type to quit a telnet session [23:09] nalioth, so it comes back to my original question... how can I check Hardy is not infected? will RKHUNTER check for that? [23:10] bart_burroughs - good luck ^_^ [23:10] Flannel, I do not know, so I cannot 100% trust it. [23:10] does anyone else's txt dissapear when you highlight the file menu in FF3 [23:10] tommy_: i can 110% gaurantee you, that unless you've used your 'sudo' inappropriately, you're not 'infected' with anything [23:10] harveyd, depends on the protocl, but normally you just type: quit [23:10] (or exit) [23:10] tommy_, UNLESS YOU TRUST THE SOURCE YOU CAN'T BE SURE THAT AN INSTALLED SOFTWARE DOES NOT PROVIDE A TROJAN LIKE FUNCTIONALY, REGARDLESS OF THE OS THAT YOU USE [23:10] tommy_: Checking for "regular' malware is easy enough. Its the rootkit stuff that's troublesome. However, a liveCD would be able to check your harddrive [23:11] sorry, it had to be CAPS === Blackcomb is now known as Bl4ckcomb [23:11] joaopinto, thats why he wants a virus scanner because he feels safer then ;D [23:11] tommy_: This is getting a little bit offtopic, care to move to #ubuntu-offtopic? [23:11] the server doesnt have any way to quit the session, its just expecting the client to [23:11] so install a freakin virus scanner! [23:11] nalioth, but I used sudo when I installed Keepass .deb file from http://www.keepassx.org/downloads?PHPSESSID=33d7d7cc4f66153708ca2ab4232c55e2 [23:11] joaopinto - im doing a "man dd" and in the description it says "copy a file, converting and formatting according to the operands" [23:11] no, he just keeps repeating the same question about how to use a system in general [23:12] and everything ive tested, including the escape characters, just get sent over telnet [23:12] I think it's trolling [23:12] Flannel, This is the keepass .deb file I installed. Do you think it looks safe? http://www.keepassx.org/downloads?PHPSESSID=33d7d7cc4f66153708ca2ab4232c55e2 [23:12] tommy_: here's the source code: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/keepassx/KeePassX-0.3.1.tar.gz?download feel free to read it all and look for anything suspicious [23:12] including ctr+c [23:12] joaopinto - im kinda confused as to how this will help me lol [23:12] !troll [23:12] Factoid troll not found [23:12] !trolling [23:12] Factoid trolling not found [23:12] J2, it will just check if you can read from the disk...

I told you 2 times already. I am not a programmer and I have NO IDEA what the source code says [23:13] J2, dd if=/dev/stdb5 of=/dev/null [23:13] Chriiist this is alot of people [23:14] Flannel, I didnt know that :P so how do I now remove the keepass I downloaded and install keepass from the repos?

[23:30] desktop [23:31] ninefold, ff3 final is already available from the repositories, unless your is not synchronized yet [23:31] pucko should I delete all the splash, and quiet in grub? [23:31] jay >> and then choose theme [23:31] bloodrock: That did it, thank you. [23:31] Constrabus: can you get to the console without killing X? [23:31] abchirk : i bet that question is for coil :D [23:31] jay >> you can create your own or download from www [23:31] thosgb, no, just one instance.. if you read the comments you'll see it.. [23:32] oh sorry. :P [23:32] I updated my kernel last night and now sound doesn't play (Ubuntu 7.10) where should I start to solve this issue. [23:32] abchirk :D [23:32] coil the original or Ut2004 or else? [23:32] :) [23:32] pucko- Yes, I have it compiled into my kernel. It still happenes when i take vge=0x730 out of my boot string. [23:32] pucko the link you gave me, thats 150 results, and 15 pages [23:32] pucko- Would I have to take it out of my kernel for it to fix? [23:33] asathorr : which theme is the most light ? i mean not hogging too much resource ? [23:33] Constrabus, yes, happened to me too. I had to use vga16fb to get it working. don't know about the nvidia drivers though. [23:33] Hi folks Dock just said I've got to take some painkillers but strictly every 12 hours, does somebody know the way to a 'crontab' example to help me remind that, or shall I just RTFM ? :D [23:33] hey on gutsy compiz worked fine with my ati m300 -- on gutsy its slow as spit [23:33] is this a known issue? [23:33] i meant hardy second one [23:33] thosgb, that wasn't me. [23:33] what's the command to run ubuntu's updater? [23:33] pucko- So you think If i take it out of my kernel, it will work? [23:33] I run kde and it doesn't work the same as in gnome [23:34] AutoMatriX >> perhaps anacron is better, if your system isn't a server [23:34] pucko oh okay [23:34] well I dont know what line to add, that guy posted a link with over 150 search results [23:34] thosgb, look for the line begining with # defoptions= === liveoutloud2day_ is now known as liveoutloud2day [23:34] okay [23:34] thosgb, and don't forget to run update-grub afterwards [23:34] AutoMatriX: you could use crontab, sure. But there are probably better specialized tools for reminders. A cursory search reveals "remind" which may work [23:35] asathoor, this machine si sometimes used as a testserver ;) [23:35] pucko how do I update grub? [23:35] Constrabus, as I said. don't really know about nvidia drivers. but it worked for me [23:35] thosgb sudo update-grub [23:35] Flannel, interesting solution, in fact :D [23:35] AutoMatriX >> if it's not online all of the time anacron is better. Just edit /etc/anacrontab [23:35] do i need firewall on ubuntu ? [23:36] pucko thanks man [23:36] ;-) [23:36] offline: maybe, depending on what you might run / want to hide [23:36] offline: not unless you know you need one. [23:36] asathoor, 'm going to have a look at that solution too, [23:36] nvm, I got it, update-manager [23:36] abchirk: goty [23:36] ^_^ [23:36] asathoor, Flannel, thanks à lot [23:36] but im having problems with the unrealtournament.ini file [23:36] trying to get the opengl working [23:36] coil, GOTY DVD? [23:36] not dvd [23:37] just the two cds === eitreach_Zzzzz is now known as eitreach [23:37] without OpenGL it won't run. :) [23:37] oh, cause the DVD has no linux installer at all, but it has a linux logo on it, LOL [23:37] yes abchirk [23:37] and i hvae opengl and 3d accell already [23:37] stupid midway [23:37] Nvidia? [23:37] i just need help with the viewportmanager option in the .ini [23:37] yes abchirk [23:37] Constrabus, what i did was to add fbcon and vga16fb to /etc/initramfs/modules [23:38] linxeh & dabar : yes, i want to avoid some attacks like flooding from my LAN... but is it linux is set to hidden port by default ? [23:38] anyone know how to enable sshd? [23:38] offline: do you have any servers set up on your computer? [23:38] RabidWeezle: sudo apt-get install ssh [23:38] hello, can i see what ports are open in my uubnut? [23:38] ahh, thnx [23:39] figured it would be installed by default hehe [23:39] RabidWeezle: only the client [23:39] ahh [23:39] How do I get MPD to start when the machine boots? [23:39] dabar : no.. LAN is straight from switch [23:39] makes sense, keeps the machine for secure [23:39] hey can someone tell me what was the command for editing a file from the console [23:39] ForsakenSoul: nano filename [23:39] ForsakenSoul, well, there's pico [23:40] Hi all. Anyone using mythtv? I'm just setting it up and I can't see anything when selecting 'watch tv'. any help appreciated [23:40] and nano [23:40] and vim :> [23:40] pico ? [23:40] vim is better [23:40] HalphaZ: use Network tools (in System > Administration) on localhost [23:40] I use mc lol [23:40] !best | [23:40] : Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [23:40] I use mc for just about everything [23:40] dabar : but on my vista machine, i got massive attack of flooding.. [23:40] offline: the Ubuntu firewall is by default set up to disallow any inbound connections. [23:40] hmm how was the command to open a file with gedit for instance from the console with root perms [23:40] w00t I got compiz working [23:40] prodigel: what kind of TV card do you have? [23:41] gedit [23:41] ForsakenSoul: gksudo gedit [23:41] yep [23:41] for root privs [23:41] what software can I use to copy a dvd to the HD, not trancode it? [23:41] prodigel> Hi all. Anyone using mythtv? I'm just setting it up and I can't see anything when selecting 'watch tv'. any help appreciated <== have you configured the tvcard in the settings, and tuned it? [23:41] I use gksu [23:41] ok thanx [23:41] Oli```: I'm using KDE4 compiled from trunk, so I suppose I need some command line command... [23:41] soundray: it's a leadtek 2000 ... donno exactly it's name, pretty old. anyway with xawtv it's working pretty fine [23:41] i found a bunch and installed OGMRip but then it just rips it [23:41] im back again... still trying to connect to wpa. i reinstalled ubuntu to try some tutorials fresh and it still doesnt work [23:41] dabar : so you're saying it is not really necessary to use additional firewall on ubuntu coz it's already safe ? correct me [23:41] like, it's a lossy process [23:42] ooh, new nvidia drivers o_O [23:42] hey folks! Does anyone knows a terminal which I can slide in/out when I want to use it? [23:42] HalphaZ: you can still run gtk apps under kdm (assuming you've still got all the ubuntu-desktop packages installed) [23:42] Lunar_Lamp: I've run myth-setup and did some settings according to some article, and seemed ok, also found a bunch of channels [23:42] offline: ya, if you don't know whether you need a firewall, you don't probably. I don't use a firewall. [23:42] sp1d3r: I think "tilde" is what you're looking for - though I haven't used it. [23:42] ermm.. how to download any filem [23:42] ok thanks guys [23:42] This has been an awesome summer of code, we got a new firefox, wine 1.0, new nvidia drivers... this is great [23:42] prodigel: ok, so when you say you can't see anything - do you mean the screen stays black but sound is heard? [23:43] ugh, this high io wait time is bs [23:43] Lunar_Lamp: it goes blank for a fraction of a second and then comes back to the menu [23:43] I'm having problems with my Ethernet connection on 8.04... assistance please [23:43] OK, you will want to check the logs, but I think that sounds like it's not connecting the database properly. [23:43] dabar : ok.. that helps :D i think i'm not gonna use additional F/W coz i will got additional resource hog as well :D [23:43] Hey guys, where I can find a curtain terminal [23:43] ? [23:43] Oli```: I can't reach that program from menù... what is its name? [23:43] jake_needs_help, what kind of problems? [23:44] offline: in other words, there is a firewall installed in every Ubuntu installation. It is set up properly when you get it, and gets updated as needed. You don't need to configure it if you don't encounter trouble. [23:44] sp1d3r: I think "tilde" is what you're looking for - though I haven't used it. [23:44] Lunar_Lamp: where can I find those logs? [23:44] prodigel: from memory I'm not sure - but I think /var/log/mythtv [23:44] sp1d3r: tilda or guake [23:44] д [23:44] HalphaZ: gnome-nettool [23:44] Lunar_Lamp yes! I want that !! thx [23:44] prodigel: it might also just go to /var/log/syslog [23:44] -+ [23:44] I forgot the name! [23:44] Using vmware-any-any-116 I managed to get VMWare Workstation 6.5 Beta installed and I created a VM, but when I try to run I get "Version mismatch with vmmon module: expecting 198.0, got 167.0". Anyone know what install step I goofed on to end up here? [23:45] there's also Kuake for kde if you use kde sp1d3r [23:45] rainabba: don't use any-any with workstation6. [23:45] RabidWeezle: I can't seem to ping anything on my network... I think i'm having issues with IPv4 for some reason [23:45] hmm [23:45] Oli```: thank you a lot [23:45] HalphaZ: though you might want to run it from another computer as some ports may be open but only for local connections [23:45] jengelh2: So I should uninstall and try again without any-any? [23:45] so you can't access your lan, but you can access the internet jake_needs_help ? [23:45] correct [23:45] how to install any program [23:45] rainabba: maybe you should stick to a fully working VMWare version, not the beta. [23:45] :D thanks [23:45] jay_: vmware-any-any ... [23:46] Zanth: No go man. [23:46] Lunar_Lamp: the only error I see in mythfrontend.log is joystick related, which is of null importance [23:46] RabidWeezle: nope.. can't get to the internet either... I can't even ping my default gateway... very strange... I've tried both static IP and DHCP [23:46] jay : sudo apt-get install [23:46] Lunar_Lamp: also says 'connected to ...'

[23:46] jake_needs_help, this might sound terrible, but try using a different cable? [23:46] Oli```: can I scan also udp ports? [23:47] what is the "super" key? [23:47] Ethernet cables are finicky [23:47] yooshi: the one with power. [23:47] ctrl = super [23:47] hi all! [23:47] everytime I reboot, im disconnected, becaus I have to re-login on my wpa, how do I make linux to login automatically? [23:47] ok thanx [23:47] oh... ok :D uh [23:47] yooshi: usually it is the windows key [23:47] yooshi: super is normally mapped to the right logo key [23:47] RabidWeezle: ctrl != super [23:47] just some general info since it was hard to find. best free software to fix broken sectors, deleted partitions and so on: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk [23:47] yooshi: Super is the Windows key (either SuperL or SuperR) [23:47] RabidWeezle: Good suggestion, but nope, the cable is good, when I boot into Windows, it works fine... just when I'm using Ubuntu... :-( [23:47] I have a ton of linux kernel versions! If I remove some, will it put the system in danger? [23:48] ok.. cuz whoever said that ctrl is super is wrong... if your'e using compiz [23:48] oh [23:48] yooshi: there's a lot of noise in here.. [23:48] hmm whats super n then? [23:48] Lunar_Lamp: I'm seeing now in console this message: DPMS Deactivated\nDPMS Reactivated. [23:48] jake_needs_help, has it ever worked with linux? [23:48] DUH [23:48] rodolfo : no you wont really booting from the lastest kernel should be fine however if you want to be careful then keep the version before just in case [23:48] yeah 1,300 people so far the most I've seen [23:48] yooshi: hold down the right logo key and hit n [23:48] rodolfo: maybe you could try 'sudo apt-get autoremove' . if there are more recent versions of your kernel installed, Ubuntu will remove them and should remain bootable, using the most recent kernel installed. [23:49] sweet [23:49] After installing the updates today, the wifi on my lap top quit working. I re-installed restricted drives and all works fine now. Is this normal? Has anyone else experiences this? [23:49] oooo compiz is my friend [23:49] RabidWeezle: It has never worked in this machine but I'm using the same brand NIC in 8.04 server just fine [23:50] I updated my kernel last night and now sound doesn't play (Ubuntu 7.10) where should I start to solve this issue? [23:50] rodolfo: you can safely remove older kernels. Just make sure you keep the one that's running -- check with uname -r === jansen is now known as jansen_ferias_r0 [23:50] soundray: "could not connect to socket" how does this sound in frontend console responses? [23:51] prodigel: is mythtv reporting that? [23:51] In synaptic it said "Firefox 3.0b~5" and I just installed it and it was firefox beta 5. I absolutely updated synaptic and I am on the main server and it undoubtedly is, and says, beta 5 for me. Does anyone know what's going on? [23:51] soundray: yes, between other stuff [23:52] soundray: I'm running it from terminal, and that some of the output [23:52] jengelh2: That was it (no any-any). Thanks. [23:52] according to the irclog sizes, there is 5x more traffic in #ubuntu than in #fedora... probably 5x as much noise too === Achmed is now known as JohnnyPea === JohnnyPea is now known as Achmed [23:52] heh, I hear #linux has lots but its not noisy [23:52] raisefist2, I'm afraid the current kernel is still under development. thus, are not considerable 'stable'. In fact, I don't read all the details that comes with linux kernel when the update manager gets it installed...
