Are you using translation software? [00:01] Elijah, the shortcut soundray gave you does not open a new terminal it was an example. You can setup your own shortcuts too [00:01] k [00:02] I'm already using sudo; I'm running sudo apt-get install -f. So the "Permission denied" error seems strange. === HealthyElijah is now known as Eli-ubuntu [00:02] j #fluxbox [00:02] how can i tell what the temperature of my laptop core is?

[00:05] good bye [00:05] i want to remove a kernel so it removes it from the grub menu.lst [00:06] Elijah: once I've got a terminal open, I use Shift-Ctrl-N to open a new one [00:06] ShereKhan-> way cool! [00:06] Elijah: update-grub [00:06] elijah you could just edit it out of the menu.lst [00:06] vocx: somewhat humerous, key up and down are already programmed into the remote :) [00:06] Elijah, but you can also set up a gnome-terminal from the beginning as I told you. But apparently you prefer to waste time by clicking with your mouse. [00:06] oops yeah update-grub [00:06] vocx: excuse me pg-up and down [00:06] elijah you only must edit menu.lst and erase the entry to these kernel..... or add if you need [00:06] Elijah: 'sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic' for example should remove the grub entry as well [00:06] vocx, i would not like a terminal open all the time [00:06] happymonkey, what app is that?

[00:07] Elijah, don't be afraid, you will look more leet in front of your friends, and chicks [00:08] vocx: I was confused into thinking that page up and down required more than Prior and Next keys but that is all they need [00:08] IndyGunFreak: even that I would only recommend with entries outside the 'automagic list' [00:08] vocx, i guess a true linux user uses terminal for everything so maybe i will set to run at startup, i will definitely keep that in my head [00:08] Elijah, if you really want to remove a kernel you remove it's package like linux-image-2.6.20 or whatever, but you may do as IndyGunFreak says too.

[00:10] vocx: no I am very familiar with mutt, irssi, and other command line tools but am not used to using GNOME so this is nice to see how simple it is [00:10] happymonkey, yup [00:11] is there a way to scroll up in the term window without using a mouse?

[00:14] i have just completed installing xp , i installed xp after linux was already there in the same HDD [00:14] but aptitude search '~linux-image~i' gives me unknown pattern, a user showed me earlier and i forgot, i had a bunch of problems to resolve before [00:14] vocx, the user before showed me them and they worked great [00:14] n00b101: Is this a new harddrive? or the one youre using currently? [00:15] Okay, this is weird. It looks like I just need to create the file myself, but when I run sudo echo "3000" > fan1_min I get "bash: fan1_min: Permission denied". How do I fix that? [00:15] Elijah try ~ilinuximage [00:15] n00b101, it is not really hard, gparted is very easy [00:15] Elijah-> its apt-cache search linux-image [00:15] Flannel, the one I am using currently [00:15] my remote desktop (VNC) on Ubuntu 8.04 only listens on IPv6 and not IPv4, how can i fix this? [00:15] n00b101: You'll need a liveCD, but Gparted is pretty self explanatory [00:15] vocx, yes but I don't make the partition, I tried and failed, hence I am here :S [00:15] LivingInTwilight: well, perhaps compile one from source [00:15] Elijah, well you don't need them, just use a full word, like 'linux-image' or with spaces for multiple terms like 'linux kernel image 64' [00:15] Flannel, i got it [00:15] Elijah typo, ~ilinux-image [00:15] aw mn [00:15] vocx: currently i am in ubuntu 7.10. i just completed installing xp , and while loading there was no option to select xp or linux , it directly booted xp [00:15] i have to do it from livecd [00:16] even fixmbr didn't fix it from the repair prompt [00:16] vocx the ~i limits the search to installed packages [00:16] aditya1, that's because, as I told you. Win XP erased GRUB, you need to reisntall it again. [00:16] soundray, finding all the source to start with would take forever. [00:16] vocx: then i booted ubuntu from its live cd and reinstalled grup loader [00:16] Elijah: dpkg -l | grep linux-image [00:16] n00b101: doesn't vista have a handy partition tool?.. i've saw many people here mention it === pool is now known as Guest76663 [00:16] i didn't see what you'd said. how do i reinstall grub, then? [00:16] nickrud, is that documented, never read about it. I think aptitude uses regex, but I could be wrong- [00:16] but now i not getting the option of loading XP [00:17] aditya1: you should reinstall grub. Follow the RecoveringUbuntu... instructions: [00:17] because i can get into grub from the live cd and 'find /boot(...)' and root (hdx,x) and setup hd0 [00:17] !grub | aditya1 [00:17] aditya1: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [00:17] no one using linux on ps3 at all? [00:17] vocx: do i need to install GRUB in the same partition ? [00:17] or is that not it? [00:17] Flannel, thanks [00:17] vocx it's in the docs, yes. There's all kinds of useful switches, try \!~i~sgnome [00:17] aditya1-> if you open that file /boot/grub/menu.lst read the verbage, it has a sample for windows entry, it is commented out.. [00:17] so now i need to "purge" the kkernel name right [00:18] aditya1: you should install grub to your first hard disk drive [00:18] soundray: i did the same thing but do i need to install GRUB in the same partition as the one used in XP [00:18] aditya1: no [00:18] same hard drive, not partition [00:18] apt-get purge linux-image-2.6.20-15-generic ??? [00:18] Elijah: yeah, remove the old packages. But its usually a good idea to leave a current kernel, and then one older one that you know is good. [00:18] aditya1: you need to put grub in the master boot record of the first hard disk drive [00:18] nickrud, personally I prefer to see all the results of the search, that way I know what else there is [00:18] Elijah: Are you on hardy? [00:19] Flannel, yup that is what the earlier user advised too, this is the thrid oldest one [00:19] Flannel, yes [00:19] Elijah: apt-get remove --purge [package name list], or on hardy apt-get purge stuff, yeah [00:19] vocx has many uses, try ~c . That lists the packages you've removed but left the config files. Just a useful tool, that's all [00:20] soundray: yes, i did it in the 1st partition which previously had (/) boot pratition [00:20] what does the rc or ii mean before the kernel names [00:20] aditya1, maybe you need to run "update-grub" again, from within ubuntu to detect your windows XP partition. You maybe able to edit manually the /boot/grub/menu.lst also [00:20] wow, apt-get has purge now [00:20] nickrud, I do like aptitude, it is great [00:20] amenado: what all things to remove comments ? [00:20] Elijah: ii means installed, ad installed. rc means removed, with config files still installed (you haven't purged, or with synaptic "complete removal") [00:20] aditya1: no, you don't install it in a partition, you install it to the MBR [00:20] nickrud: Its identical to remove --purge, yeah [00:20] how do i install using safe graphics mode? [00:20] nickrud, apt-get has had purge since... well always [00:20] vocx: since Hardy [00:21] vocx I tend to use aptitude in interactive mode, and use l (L) instead of / for searching [00:21] vocx --purge, yes but not purge as in aptitude [00:21] has anyone gotten SCIM to work with firefox yet? [00:21] nickrud, you mean without the -- [00:21] soundray: i dont know about that, but when installing it it asked where to install so i install in the master partition [00:21] vocx yep [00:21] aditya1: if you can't sort it - installing xp first works every time (if that becomes your only option) [00:21] vocx: ok, i am updating grub [00:21] conformer, get the quick locale switcher plugin for ff [00:21] * vocx thinks aptitude kicks apt-get's buttocks [00:21] aditya1: there is no such thing as a master partition [00:21] aditya1-> what i said is a sample entry for windows is there on that menu.lst file, copy it or uncomment those lines if it matches your partition where window is installed [00:22] can i just find that on google? [00:22] conformer, I use SCIM/Anthy, didn't have any trouble whatever. Why? [00:22] conformer, mozilla addons page [00:22] anthy used to work for me but it hasnt for a while [00:22] anyone have any idea why i keep getting mutli threads [00:22] http://paste.ubuntu.com/21984/ [00:22] apache2 -k start [00:23] i can only get it to work in nautilus [00:23] aditya1, there is a catch there, GRUB is made of "two" stages I think, the first one goes to the MBR, then stage 1.5 and stage 2 are the ones installed on /boot/grub, you need to figure this out [00:23] ok, i got an error while doing apt-get purge kernel http://paste.ubuntu.com/21983/ [00:23] conformer, note, gnome-terminal seems to have an issue with SCIM: if I open a new tab, and then close it, the original tab stops working until I open a new one again (or a window). [00:23] illy: Use init.d instead (/etc/init.d/apache2 restart) [00:23] vocx: i updated it. [00:23] I'm getting random kernel panic :\ [00:23] :( === Waz is now known as Guest49959 [00:24] Flannel: this is the kernel that had rc preceding it [00:24] Gin, stop freaking out your kernel. [00:24] what ftp client can change permissions, cuz the default ftp cant. [00:24] Ubu-Elijah: you're trying to remove soething that isn't installed [00:24] wait a second people, answer one at a time [00:24] also is there a better way to get a log file? im running a multi-thread cron to sends friend request on a social network site [00:24] how do i turn join/leave messages off in pidgin [00:24] but seems my log file keep overflowing apache [00:24] and then dies [00:24] i have to reboot it [00:24] Ubu-Elijah: Right, you can't purge something if its not installed. There are other methods... Uh, easiest way is to just go into Synaptic, and mark it for complete removal [00:24] aditya1, so when you update both, you need to specify in one instance the hd0 as install disk, and then /dev/sda1 for instance as the second directory, this is explained in the manuals and links [00:25] what ftp client can change permissions, cuz the default ftp cant? [00:25] file permissions * [00:25] Tat2Yak [00:26] Nitricacid-> not sure you'd want an ftp client be able to change permissions, can you imagine anonymous changing permissions? [00:26] Nitricacid, what, on the remote filesystem? ...that's not a standard FTP option, AFAIK [00:26] amenado: its showing this partition (hd0,0) but its in the 3rd partition. what do i change here ? [00:26] hi, what program could i see from ubuntu to make a ms dos bootable partition on a separate disk? [00:26] i marked it for complete removal then hit apply [00:27] is there a way to change your nick in xchat? while connected? [00:27] Guest10501, /nick [00:27] sun i try qparted [00:27] micahcowan: winSCP does it. its very standard. [00:27] and bullet.

[00:28] Elijah, there was a recent kernel update [00:28] aorthr33: thats different from gparted? [00:28] Nitricacid, standard ftp client has a "chmod" command. [00:28] vocx, so i cannot just remove the old kernel without downloading 20 MB [00:28] aditya1-> which drive? hd0 == hda hd1==hdb [00:29] micahcowan: im using winscp on my windows box right now, FTP protocol, editing permissions lol [00:29] Elijah, yes probably you can, but well, usually you would want to update anyway. [00:29] amenado: hd0==hda [00:29] /join #compiz [00:29] ok, i guess, it will take a while [00:30] sun - no, i typo'd it... its gparted [00:30] the locale switcher doesnt seem to change my typing, does scim work for everyone else? [00:30] I was able to solve my problem; I had added a line to /etc/init.d/acpid that echoed 2500 to that file, as recommended by the wiki page on setting up Ubuntu for my computer (a Santa Rosa Macbook) and commenting it out made it work. Is there anywhere I should post this in case someone else runs into the same problem? [00:30] Elijah, you are in what dial-up? [00:30] no sprint evdo [00:30] its actually faster than usual right now [00:31] amenado: its installed in the 3rd partition [00:31] aditya1-> 3rd partition should then be hd0,2 [00:31] 1 Mb + [00:31] sometimes it is sub 500kbps [00:31] guys how do i run 100 threads on this http://paste.ubuntu.com/21985/ [00:31] amenado: ok, let me reboot now [00:31] colaser, in the forums most probably, there are wikis tutorials, how-to's [00:31] Okay, thank you.

Use a for loop or something [00:33] Hello everyone! [00:33] amenado i'm not sure if they run and just fail cause of proxy error or something .. but when i look using "ps -A | grep wget" there are only like 10 jobs at most [00:34] illy-> are you trying to run wget several times or let it spawn several threads? id do what vocx suggested [00:35] i am not getting an option to load XP, [00:35] vocx <- im trying to run it mutli times because the script goes onto a social network and grabs id's of users. but seems when i try to run it 100 times so the id scraper is faster it only shows its running 10 [00:36] !grub | please see if this is helpful aditya2 [00:36] please see if this is helpful aditya2: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

I am running xubuntu on this machine and have several question. #1 in windows the task bar below the main desktop screen is call "taskbar" in linux or Xwindows it is called a panel? Is that correct? [00:41] I was installing Ubuntu Hardy through NetBoot(thats the only possible way I could), when it gave an error about not being able to get all the extra software. The installation continued after this so i didn't bother. However, when it came to select and install software, it gives an error at 6%(after I had chosen what I wanted to be installed). How do I fix this problem? I already installed... [00:41] how do i change the default os in menu.lst [00:41] ...GRUB and I'm wondering if I should just end the installation. [00:41] I hate laptops, they are so proprietary. [00:41] And now it's stuck at 6%. [00:42] aditya2: you got grub installed again then? [00:42] codePhantom, did you use a cheap cd? [00:42] hmmm. [00:42] if i edit /etc/network/interfaces to configure wpa, my network manager no longer lists wireless networks [00:42] /server irc.irc-hispano.org [00:42] I downloaded the netboot.tar.gz from the archive. [00:42] aditya2, well, in the MBR yes, not in the windows system folder. I feel like you are taking unnecessary pain to accomplish this. Are you sure the guides don't cover what you are attempting to do? [00:42] codePhantom: only use progeams from the repos [00:43] Hey everyone! I'm having a bit of an issue. After I installed new updates yesterday, my video player will no longer play MPEGs properly. It will play sound sometimes, but no video at all. When I try to skip forward through the show the whole system locks up and I end up having to reset. Any ideas what's wrong? [00:43] ChrissyW: install VLC [00:43] funkyHat: i installed GRUB, now i am not getting option to boot XP [00:43] ChrissyW: sudo apt-get install vlc [00:43] guys why does apache start like 100 times.. what is all this.. seems it causes a crash in apache [00:43] http://paste.ubuntu.com/21988/ [00:43] I just finally got Ubuntu to install on this computer I have and my login i choose isn't working. Is there any recourse other than to reinstall Ubunto all over again? [00:43] aditya2: use SuperGrub boot CD [00:43] okay, thanks [00:44] I'll try that. [00:44] This is a really noob question but... whats a repos? [00:44] Wolfkin: you forgot your login username and passsword. [00:44] ChrissyW: ok [00:44] ChrissyW, maybe your video driver broke, this is common when installing kernel upgrades. [00:44] aditya2: you should be able to add the option to your /boot/grub/menu.list (although I'm surprised it wasn't picked up) [00:44] vocx: its there in the guide itself , ie , to Overwrite the Windows bootloader, how do i change in MBR ? [00:44] I'm not sure.. it was 10 seconds ago I know my login but it's not working.. i'm wondering if maybe i made a typo and didn't otice [00:44] aditya2: user SuperGrub Boot CD [00:45] codePhantom, I haven't used the netinstall but if grub is installed it may just work. [00:45] aditya2: wow wow, you don't need to do any more changing of bootloaders, it's done, you just need to add a windows XP option to your boot list [00:45] purplestar: will it boot both OSes ? [00:45] Okay, i'll try it [00:45] Hello [00:45] Wolfkin: its case sensitive and whatever you wrote you are not writing it exactly the same again [00:45] aditya2, I think it tells you to do something like "grub" and then "root (hd0)" and stuff, that should be enough [00:45] aditya2: it does for me, but I thought u wanted to fix your MBR [00:46] i don't use cases.. my caps lock key has been off the entire time. an other ideas [00:46] what is teh linux eqivalent of ctrl-alt-delete to stop a stuck program [00:46] if you start in windows xp first then put the cd in there is a great option to do dual boot [00:46] codePhantom, try looking System>Admin>Synaptics Package manager [00:46] works great [00:46] why does this happen guys? sorry for the double post [00:46] http://paste.ubuntu.com/21988/ [00:46] I need a program that tracks my work-hours on different projects... Is there such a thing? [00:46] how do i change the default os to boot in grubs menu.lst i cant figure it out [00:46] Wolfkin: I told you. whatever you wrote you are not writing it exactly the same again [00:46] is it just the first one listed? [00:46] vocx: i changed those stuff, but still there is no option to load Xp, i rebooted after changing [00:46] Wolfkin: try again, install Ubuntu, this time remember exactly what you write as username and password [00:46] shaba1, programs do not get stuck, you can use the system monitor to kill running processes, or from the terminal "pkill " [00:47] ok so i have no other recourse but to just reinstall again.. oh well. thanks guess I'll get started [00:47] Elijah, change the line that says Default 0 (0 being the first, 1 the second, etc.) [00:47] guys, Chrissyw is my daughter, just trying out linux for the first time after hearing me crow about linux for years (we wiped vista off her computer), so linux' reputation is on the line here :) I had her put ubuntu on because I had heard such good things about it, but as I run centos, I'm not so good at helping her with ubuntu, and she is now 3000+ miles away from me... [00:47] my totem can't play mp3s anymore. help! [00:47] for now i've redirected the log file to one file.. don't know if that slows down things tho, as 100 instances tries to write to it [00:47] Hasone_: use VLC, not totem [00:47] -o /home/wgetlogs/testlog2 [00:47] i'll try vlc [00:47] hopefully vlc will work better for her, provided she doesn't have an underlying driver problem? [00:47] shaba1, there are various ways to kill something, "kill ", "pkill ", "xkill" use the mouse to kill a window [00:48] instead of "wget-log" ending up in /, it's redirected to /home/wgetlogs/testlog2 for every instance that's running [00:48] aditya2: can you pastebin your menu.lst please? and also pastebin the output of df [00:48] Hasone_: sudo apt-get install vlc [00:48] purplestar: the sudo apt-get install vlc worked [00:48] vlc doesn't work, either. [00:48] i get sound and picture now [00:48] ChrissyW: cool :) [00:48] funkyHat: sure [00:48] I can't forward through videos still though. it was like that before the update though. any idea why? [00:48] xkill? [00:48] with the muse [00:49] Hello I have question what is a good Raid controller for raid 0 two drives [00:49] if I try to it either goes back to the beginning or jumps straight to the end [00:49] that is supported [00:49] funkyHat: how to get the output of df ? [00:49] ChrissyW, VLC rocks [00:49] purplestar: both totem and vlc don't work. [00:49] ChrissyW: no idea, happens to me at times too [00:49] aditya2: just type df at a command prompt [00:49] right now I have a firefox window(?) up that was suppose to add adobe flash player and its stuck [00:49] ChrissyW- use a different media player. [00:49] The LSI megaRAID drivers are the raid cards are not supported [00:49] Hasone_: what doesnt work? [00:49] I need to know how to stop that [00:49] DistroJockey, so th line being actual line, i counted about 30 lines until i got to my desired os [00:49] aditya2: I just want that so I can work out the correct info for your Windows entry in menu.lst [00:50] dw805, man the net is a horrible place, so beware of what your daughter gets involved with [00:50] guys whats the best way not to log???? [00:50] shaba1: 64bit or 32bit? [00:50] how do i display line numbers in gedit [00:50] ChrissyW: does it happen in mplayer too? [00:50] purplestar: neither totem or vlc can play mp3s. the slider bar moves along, but no sound comes out. [00:50] chatzilla works just fine at beeping at me, though >< [00:50] we don't want any output from wget? [00:50] Elijah, the title lines only [00:50] any help pls? [00:50] Hasone_: you have to edit the prefeences in VLC then. that happened to me once [00:50] purplestar: okay, glad to know it's not just me. =D out of curiosity, now that I've already done it, what is vlc? it happens in the totem movie player. that's the only one I have [00:50] shaba1: open a terminal killall -9 firefox-bin or firefox [00:50] shaba1, open a terminal the do "xkill" and click on firefox [00:50] !vlc | ChrissyW [00:50] ChrissyW: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [00:50] DistroJockey, thanks [00:50] shaba1: the best way to install the flash player is through synaptic or apt, just install the package flashplugin-nonfree [00:51] Elijah, no problem [00:51] purplestar: will I have to edit the preferences in totem, too? could I maybe fix that? [00:51] anyone good with hardware support? [00:51] trying to figure out the best way not to log when running 100 threads [00:51] vocx: I'm old enough to be pretty net savvy, and he's taught me pretty well to keep away from the weirdos =P [00:51] ir8, don't use kill -9, just use kill, because -9 doesn't give a chance to clean up [00:51] DistroJockey, i chose the saved option because it already had saved default in it [00:51] 64 or 32 bit what ir8?? the processor the version of xubuntu the version of firefox? what [00:51] so i am guessing that will work [00:51] nope [00:51] hmm [00:51] Hasone_: play around with the settings, but I do recall changing something in the VIDEO setting in VLC which fixed that problem [00:51] vocx : any idea how not to log when using 100 threads for wget? [00:51] funkyHat: what about this cmd ??? sudo fdisk -l ??? should i paste this also as i cant see the FAT partition in df ? [00:51] ChrissyW, I demand proof of that old enough, > 18 [00:51] vocx: its a hard kill. [00:51] maybe i didn't save it [00:52] Hasone_: Try playing with the settings under Settings -> Preferences -> Audio -> Output Modules -> OSS and ALSA. It worked for me. [00:52] aditya2: ah turns out that sudo fdisk -l is more useful than df yes :) [00:52] its 5:20am here i have been trying to do this for last 5 hrs [00:52] ir8, you don't needa hard kill, just a kill, sigterm [00:52] vocx: possibly you're one of the people he warned me about? [00:52] funkyHat: ok [00:53] CroX, laughing my buttocks off [00:53] so should I be getting MPlayer then possibly instead of totem? [00:53] vocx: are you trying to insinuate that sickos hang out in #ubuntu?????? [00:53] i'm getting nothing. are there any sound experts here? I also notice I'm not getting any sound during avis and other movies === chaky_ is now known as chaky [00:53] vocx: is there a website the lists all supported raid card drviers for ubuntu [00:53] the/that/ [00:53] hey here's an idea could I use the 'rescue' option to create a new user? [00:53] Hi! What's better for my IBM ThinkPad TransNote (PIII-600, 192RAM) --- Ubuntu or Windows XP? [00:54] funkyHat: http://pgsql.privatepaste.com/2crFj85Zv7 [00:54] any idea how not to log when using 100 threads for wget? [00:54] any idea how to stop wget from logging [00:54] dw805, net is a tough place, you should have seen these new zeland guys once... Now we have anti spam bots, but man that time was funny. [00:54] cignatov, ubuntu [00:54] DistroJockey, have you ever used the savedefault in grub before? [00:54] it isnt working [00:54] vocx [00:54] that was NOT good [00:54] funkyHat: hey i will be right back, rebooting my system [00:54] now the taskbar at the bottom and top are gone [00:54] shaba1, that's a kill, a ctrl+alt+delete [00:55] yeah and [00:55] ir8, I don't know. [00:55] cignatov, I run a p3 650mgtz desktop with ubuntu 8.04 1 gig ram sweet the best ive ever seen from this pc [00:55] any idea how to stop wget from logging [00:55] !raid | ir8 [00:55] ir8: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [00:55] now all I have is THIS windwo and my desktop background [00:55] vocx: due to the fact that the LSI megaraid drivers are nuked. [00:55] hi all. yesterday a fellow in the channel helped me figure out that I have all of 2GB left of disk space for Ubuntu to use. How does one go about increasing that size? [00:55] Elijah, nope, sorry [00:55] spideyman, can I run Gnome on my configuration? ('cause KDE sux ^_^) [00:56] DistroJockey, k, i changed it to the 6th title line [00:56] hello, I'm having problems with my computer acting slow, freezing, and also crashing my Opera browser. Using Ubuntu 8.04 [00:56] cignatov, I cant see why not [00:56] hopefully that works [00:56] any idea how to stop wget from logging??????????????????????????? [00:56] i wish there was a program for Ubuntu that easily converts FLV to 3gp [00:56] cignatov, I only use kde lol [00:56] Elijah, so you have default 5 now then?

When i try to "Add/Remove..."-->(pick apps)-->"apply changes", the window goes grey and nothing happens. also, the terminal command "gksudo nautilus" doesn't do anything either. is there a method of getting more feedback of what is happening? [00:56] Hasone_: did it work? [00:57] illy, what do you mean by logging, dose it store something in /tmp? I really don't know. [00:57] hello [00:57] i need help with amarok [00:57] ChrissyW, ubottu is a bot, how about that? [00:57] is there any way to set apps to startup when linux boots? Like in winxp I can set services to start at boot or in the startup folder [00:57] gnome apps play but amarok doesnt [00:57] ChrissyW: VLC, Totem, and MPlayer are popular Ubuntu players [00:57] brianherman, whats up?

[01:00] Herissy, I believe that it is called medibuntu [01:00] brianherman, amorok is for kde [01:00] illy, I was reading that, maybe you can do --output-file=/dev/null [01:00] purplestar: don't have it. I could get it. [01:00] Hasone_: onboard sound? does xmms play sound? [01:00] Hasone_: install xmms and tell me if that plays sound [01:00] whats the info websites for it? [01:01] Herissy, am looking but am on dial up [01:01] vocx <--- thanks. I will try that now [01:01] vocx: can u check out my menu.lst file pls ??? i have also pasted fdisk -l ??? http://pgsql.privatepaste.com/2crFj85Zv7 [01:01] Herissy, you may be faster [01:01] ya but i like it [01:01] omfg I thought I was the only one on dial-up [01:01] brianherman, then use kubuntu [01:01] Hasone_: you using Hardy 8.04?

[01:02] gnome sounds work but kde sounds doesnt [01:02] adityag, that seems correct [01:03] herissy i remember 28.8 dial up [01:03] adityag: actually... sorry, let me edit it a bit more [01:03] adityag: Did you upgrade Windows 9X to XP? [01:03] can anyone help me with a boot error I keep getting? It forces me to hit ctrl-D to continue to the login screen [01:03] Herissy: I heard about dialup in the 1980's, havent heard about it since for 25 years now until today ;) [01:03] branherman, maybe we're having the same problem [01:03] lol [01:03] brianherman: maybe we're having the same problem [01:03] Herissy, try here http://www.medibuntu.org/packages.php [01:03] Herissy, and see how you do [01:03] Flannel: no [01:03] dlozarie, boot from live cd and sudo apt-get install gparted run gparted and resize partitions [01:04] funkyHat: so its after that block ? only thats the change right ? [01:04] Herissy: I get around 1.5 to 1.8 MB per second :) And you get 5KB/s ;) [01:04] this is odd not one person in here know what hardware is supported and what is not supported. [01:04] adityag: You only have a FAT32 partition, which could be XP (XP can be both FAT or NTFS), and that's your windows entry in GRUB [01:04] adityag: http://pgsql.privatepaste.com/90WlITXkRC this should be better [01:04] Herissy: how does that make you feel? :) [01:04] 5KB? [01:04] haha not n you life. half that max [01:04] 1.5MB - 1.8 is about 10 - 18mbps [01:04] ir8: why is that odd? not even the founder of Ubuntu would know that :) [01:04] purplestar: well.. lol. [01:04] ir8: :-) [01:04] adityag: I moved it after the block and changed it slightly, and the second change is I changed the timeout to 10 seconds rather than 3, and stopped the menu from being hidden [01:05] A base answer would be great. [01:05] adityag, in my menu.lst I have this line "savedefault" after the "root (hd0,2)" and before "makeactive" [01:05] dlozarie, type /join #SeaPhor and i can help more if you need [01:05] so should i copy all whats there in the last link right ?? in menu.lst ? [01:05] hasone_: really! [01:05] on top of being Dial Up its also MSN dial-up. [01:05] ir8: you would need to ask a ubuntu developer to answer that, and even he may struggle to know :) [01:05] purplestar: What LSI sas controllers are supported. [01:05] Herissy, so does that work for you? [01:05] brianherman: I'm having a problem getting totem and vlc to play files. so who knows? [01:05] adityag, what you hadn't used it before? [01:05] ir8: i have no idea lol [01:05] purplestar: Augh ;) [01:05] hasone_: do you have any ideas [01:05] lol [01:05] adityag: you shouldn't put your own stuff inside the debian automagic list, it might go missing (not certain that it will, but it doesn't belong there anyway) [01:05] Hasone_: did xmms work? [01:06] i just downloaded Ubunu 8.04 i386 onto my mac, which has the internet connection, im where is the iso file located? im trying to prepare to burn it to disc according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [01:06] i see the MegaRaid driver [01:06] ok that suggestion by irv messed me up [01:06] purplestar: I thought I installed xmms, but can't find it anywhere either via gui or terminal [01:06] Hasone_: vlc doesnt even play the video? [01:06] Herissy, this may work better https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [01:06] purplestar: vlc plays the video [01:06] Now I have not top and bottom task bars [01:06] Hasone_: type this. sudo apt-get install xmms [01:06] how do I get those back? [01:06] Hasone_: then type xmms [01:06] adityag: probably safer to copy and paste straight from my pastebin rather than attempt to duplicate it :) [01:07] vocx: according to factoid, there should be a start up programs tab... there isn't one [01:07] lol its still loading. [01:07] Hasone_: play around with the sound settings in VLC [01:07] xmms: command not found [01:07] vocx:<------- that seemed to work better.. thanks! [01:07] its going to take a long time. [01:07] where might i find help with kinodv ?

At the top of the file there is this "hiddenmenu", make it a comment like #hiddenmenu also try increasing the "timeout" to 6 if you want [01:07] What option do i need with xinit to create a second x server using a config other than the default (/etc/X11/xorg.conf)? [01:07] Hasone_: xmp-common [01:07] specifically, i've built/installed kinodv 1.3 but while i'm editing i can't get it to play audio (audio works fine otherwise) [01:08] illy, you owe me some money then... okay I'm waiting now... still waiting [01:08] Hey all. Does anyone know where I can find drivers for Logitech wireless keyboards and mices? More specifically, a logitech S510. I've looked around and everybody's seem to work fine except for the remote. The actual keyboard and mice wont work for me. It doesnt even let me get to the login screen, shoots me some error about Logitech USB something. [01:08] Hasone_: xmms2 [01:08] vocx: I've pastebinned a modified menu.lst that adityag should be able to use already :) [01:08] Hasone_: then type xmms2 [01:08] vipester, more info please, card chipset, etc. [01:08] Hasone_: type this. sudo apt-get install xmms2 [01:08] purplestar: installing xmpcommon [01:08] funkyHat, okay, didn't know why so much trouble [01:09] Hasone_: type this instead, sudo apt-get install xmms2 [01:09] Hasone_, purplestar don't use xmms, use audacious instead. [01:09] SeaPhor, bcm43xx. can detect all networks, only connect to unsecured/wep. ubuntu 8.04 [01:09] vocx [01:09] so do i change ## to # in hiddenmenu ?

But no worry. [01:10] purplestar: is there no one who can fix them for me? [01:10] purplestar: you're kidding. [01:10] Hasone_: doesnt seem so [01:10] but it has 2 # .....where as he said only 1 # [01:10] I have a problem I have a computer that runs on ubuntu 7.04 but when i try to install Ubuntu 8.04 it stops at a Busybox 1.1.3 window ... the computer is a dell poweredge 2400 with 733mhz CPU 1gig ram [01:10] no worry?? [01:10] purplestar: I got the sound briefly working yesterday. [01:10] Hasone_: im not kidding. sometimes another distro works better for your personal PC config [01:10] how do I get them back? [01:10] shaba1, type "gnome-panel" in the terminal [01:10] funkyHat: ^ [01:10] purplestar: and it's been working for months. [01:10] Hasone_: then reinstall Ubuntu [01:11] purplestar: well, beepity beep beep beep. [01:11] I can't burn any cd's on hardy .. I get "a write error occured which was likely due to overburning the disc" [01:11] adityag: generally # means a comment so the line is ignored, menu.lst doesn't always keep that rule but it does for that line :) so one # or two doesn't matter [01:11] is there no one who can find out what's changed between it not working and it working? [01:11] vipester, look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Hardy [01:11] Hasone_: i have had to do it too, sometimes a reinstall is needed. then when everything works, backup it up using Acronis Trueimage [01:11] gnome-panel is currently NOT installed [01:11] Hasone_, did you know there is a sound channel? #alsa [01:11] anteaya: thanks. I'll check it out. [01:11] if only I can make this computer use my dial-up connection over the network. [01:11] Hasone_: a kernel update maybe screwed it [01:11] I can't burn any cd's on hardy .. I get "a write error occured which was likely due to overburning the disc" ?? [01:11] shaba1, right, you have no terminal, type Alt-F2 then "gnome-panel" install from there. [01:11] funkyHat: ok......thank you all...vocx: brb after rebooting [01:12] purplestar: that's likely. I've had quite a few kernel updates, lately. [01:12] Hasone_, np [01:12] how to install java on ubuntu 8.04 [01:12] Hasone_: yeah that happened to me once [01:12] lo all, i have made a vmware virtual machine, is it possible to turn this into a bootable usb distro? [01:12] I am in the terminal vocx [01:12] Hasone_: not on 8..04 but it happened on earlier Ubuntu's [01:12] hello my wifi/nic card stopped working when i uninstalled virtualbox anybody know why? [01:12] I typed that IN the terminal window [01:12] Hasone_: kernel updates have made my sound stop working [01:12] shaba1, there must be a gnome-panel, I'm confused, you rebooted or what? [01:13] Hasone_: can u load Ubuntu using the older kernel? [01:13] purplestar: I can try. [01:13] how does one find help with kino dv, the video editing software? [01:13] purplestar: but I'm going to ask the people over in alsa first. [01:13] Hasone_: you get option in menu to load older kernels right? [01:13] No I did not reboot [01:13] on boot? yeah, purplestar [01:13] Hasone_: ok let me know how it goes, im curious like a cat :) [01:13] I am running xubuntu as I said [01:13] shaba1, reboot, it solves things! [01:13] Hasone_: well do a reboot now pls [01:13] if that makes a difference [01:13] Hasone_: and choose the older kernel and see if sound works [01:14] I was afraid you were going to say that [01:14] I can't burn any cd's on hardy .. I get "a write error occured which was likely due to overburning the disc" ?? [01:14] what's the secret to dual booting doze/linux? should/can linux be primary? [01:14] Signil: try gnomebaker [01:14] vipester, specifically- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo [01:14] I have stuff downloadin with the add/remove programs applet [01:14] shaba1, in fact just restar X, with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace [01:14] I would rather not reboot right now [01:14] Signil: and try another CD [01:14] every time i try, something smurfs my boot record beyond easy recovery [01:14] hmm ok [01:14] shaba1, okay don't reboot, but what else, are you running compiz [01:14] Signil: so install gnomebaker first, then try a NEW CD and burn [01:15] Agent_Mulder: are you related to Agent Muller? :) [01:15] Agent_Mulder, is it true a new movie is out? [01:15] alienseer23: welcome to Earth :-) [01:15] purplestar, please take the chat elsewhere [01:15] SeaPhor, thanks... so according to this page, if I have to edit network/interfaces, i can no longer use network manager?

[01:16] purplestar: how very friendly of you [01:16] alienseer23: thank you :-) [01:16] !ask | Tweakerz [01:16] Tweakerz: 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. :-) [01:16] Hasone_: you rebooted yet? [01:16] i did not ask to ask a question [01:16] I asked a question [01:16] lol [01:16] Tweakerz, pros as in problems or positive stuff? === psmith is now known as ScreFace [01:17] well i have issues with a diff card, so not sure on yours, just i knew where to start with your issue, vipester [01:17] Tweakerz: Just ask what you need help with and if someone knows the answer they'll respond, like the factoid says [01:17] pro as in problems [01:17] Tweakerz: just assume "yes" is the answer to that question and ask your next question [01:17] as in the program it self [01:17] ok [01:17] purplestar, my comments are funny, but cannot use private messages [01:17] my wifi/nic card stopped working when i uninstalled virtualbox [01:17] vocx: :) [01:17] hey ive been trying to do this for months with hardy heron....but i cant seem to get extended desktop. it used to work with gutsy, when i try to directly change screens setting xorg gets all screwed up [01:17] vocx: funkyHat: successful .......but when i shut down XP, it crashes!!! [01:17] GRRRRR [01:17] Tweakerz: What does ifconfig say? [01:18] vox: [01:18] purplestar: following the advice in alsa first. the computer i'm chatting on is the one that's broken, so I'll reboot a bit later. [01:18] Can I make a suggestion to you [01:18] just shows l0 device [01:18] Hasone_: what alsa say to do? [01:18] vipester, follow that and let me know , i will continue to help as i can,,, if i'm not here check #SeaPhor [01:18] SeaPhor, okay thanks [01:18] aditya1, that is strange. [01:18] its for the link encap local loop back [01:18] perhaps you can help me with a problem; I am running heron on a box that requires the bcm43xx firmware for the wireless. "Hardware driver" has the driver as "in use", but not enabled. I click the enable box, restart, and it is in the same state, in use, but not enabled..help? [01:18] vocx: funkyHat: should i add savedefault after root ??? is it savedefault [01:18] aditya1: oh.. that's not so good... I can't really think of any reason that would be related to Ubuntu or GRUB though [01:18] Tweakerz: How did you remove virtualbox? [01:18] purplestar, you can take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [01:18] I have laptop with ATI mobility 9700. I use the drivers from ATI so I can have multiple displays (2). Does Hardy have better support for AIT than Previous versions? SHould I disable the proprietary drivers yet> [01:19] threw synpatic packet manager [01:19] shaba1, go ahead insult me [01:19] bazhang: ok thanks [01:19] I have been using computers sind 1976 with my first altair8000 that I built from a kit, When you are giving suggestion to a newbie ASSUme NOTHING [01:19] shaba1, :) [01:19] shaba1 +1 [01:19] I just lost all the apps I was downloading by following your suggeston [01:19] altair 8000! [01:19] aditya1: if you want GRUB to remember which OS you booted last, and boot that again (unless you choose a different one), then add savedefault [01:19] wow [01:19] ASULutzy, both wifi card and wired card are not showing [01:19] shaba1, I usually assume nothing, it's just that most questions are too vague and not very clear. So we have to keep guessing. [01:20] 'funkyHat: i just installed a new copy of XP...and when i started it for the 1st time it had shut down successfully [01:20] shaba1 if you interrupted the download phase, they aren't lost, but in /var/cache/apt/archive. apt will pick up where it left off [01:20] I know that vocx [01:20] funkyHat: ok [01:20] Tweakerz: Did you do anything virtualbox wise other than just installing it? (ie did you set up host networking/create a bridge/etc) [01:20] use OSL2000 as boot manager [01:20] anyways it was quite easy, thank you all once again !!!!!! [01:20] ASULutzy, no i started set up the a pc but did not get that far [01:20] anyone know of a GUI program for Hardy that converts FLV to 3gp? [01:20] thrust me I have been giving advise to windows users for YEAR. They always think that you can see thru thier eyes [01:20] Tweakerz: Weird... And what happens if you just try like... sudo ifconfig eth0 up [01:21] can ms word work with wine on ubuntu [01:21] nickrud: HOW do I do that [01:21] why would you want that bitznbytes [01:21] is the opensource nv driver not supporting tv out yet?? i upgraded to hardy and my tv out stopped working [01:21] there are other alternatives to ms word [01:21] shaba1 simply re run the command [01:21] shaba1, I actually told you not to reboot, but you left the channel exactly then. [01:21] ASULutzy, says eth0 Error while getting interface flags no such device [01:21] purplestar are those video files? [01:21] and vox I did not mean to insult you. Its a habit with IT people. [01:21] Hilikus: from what I know what nvidia said you need the binary driver to tv out [01:21] I have a problem I have a computer that runs on ubuntu 7.04 but when i try to install Ubuntu 8.04 it stops at a Busybox 1.1.3 window ... the computer is a dell poweredge 2400 with 733mhz CPU ... 1gig ram [01:22] Well I did that command you told me to [01:22] nickrud, he was using the ad remove program [01:22] purplestar ist 3gp from cell phone? [01:22] JuJuBee: downloads from youtube yes [01:22] http://media-convert.com/convert/ [01:22] shaba1 I lived at the bottom of a 3k pipe for a long time, took advantage of that a lot. vocx same thing, same backend [01:22] JuJuBee: yes [01:22] hey my alsa works its with my kde [01:22] ASULutzy, think maybe it uninstall my network drivers when it removed the program? [01:22] kitche you mean teh proprietary driver?? [01:22] bitznbytes: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=4992 will tell you all about what works and doesn't work with my word in wine. However, I'd recommend just using openoffice. [01:22] I used that to convert vieos from my phone to avi [01:22] Hilikus: yes that is the binary driver [01:22] It has many formats to select from [01:22] JuJuBee: no good to me [01:23] How about you had done it this way. "Shaba2: wait until the programs are downloaded THEN press ctrl+backspace that will reboot your system" [01:23] see [01:23] JuJuBee: I want to convert flv to 3gp using a GUI [01:23] Tweakerz: Weird, I don't know. I'd file a bug report over that one. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Maybe post on the ubuntu forums as well as the virtualbox forums. I'm not exactly a networking pro [01:23] that gives the proper order when I did no know what that would do. [01:23] nickrud, I meant he selected the programs in a graphical way, so it's not as easy as sudo aptitude install and then list of the packages, just that. [01:23] I just did what you told me === platyhelminth_ is now known as platyhelminth [01:23] What so special about gui? [01:23] shaba1 just go back to add/remove, and start the install again [01:23] ok thanks [01:23] nickrud: that is my point [01:24] shaba1 if you have issues, I'll be around for a bit === Hasone_Too is now known as Hasone_ [01:24] im going keep googling been looking for 30 mins already with no answers [01:24] shaba1, I did, but you left the channel then, I mean I wanted to clarify... sorry mate. But it was a great experience for you wasn't it? [01:24] This site will convert flv to 3gp [01:24] kitche ok, thanks a lot [01:24] I had 86 files that were downloading and installing [01:24] I have no idea what all of them were [01:24] I have a particular app that runs in wine, and it says there is no internet... is there a way to show it the internet? [01:24] ouch [01:24] No problem vocx [01:25] Hilikus: I believe it's because nvidia didn't want nv to have the specs for tv out since they are the ones that help write the nv driver [01:25] I left the channel becasue I did the command you told me and the system rebooted [01:25] shaba1, linux is fun, welcome! [01:25] Anyone know which option is needed with xinit to create a second xserver using a config file other than the default? [01:25] shaba1 you do remember what you selected in add/remove, though? [01:25] haha [01:26] Hello. Someone ca talk spanish? [01:26] !es | kiel [01:26] kiel: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[01:41] cycom: You put a bar (|) in between the factoid and the rest of the line [01:41] Jack_Sparrow, by the way I don't think that was a bad thing he just mistook the forward slash with the backslash, he wanted to join a channel === deni is now known as deny [01:42] vocx We still dont need that type in here [01:42] how do i login to frets on fire from gdm? [01:42] vocx: not only that, but it didn't have \join, it just had some channel name. [01:42] vocx If I read it correctly .. [01:43] JFlash, variables are case sensitive, so do PATH=/usr/bin:/bin/: etc, you can use the quotes but is not really that important, if you want to expand other variables. [01:43] anyone? [01:43] Jack_Sparrow you did [01:43] ok [01:44] How do I add entries to the sessons menu? [01:44] Jack_Sparrow, cycom yoo may be right.

[01:50] and still do not know how I got it :D [01:52] * nickrud shakes in his boots [01:52] shaba1, read the logs for X, or use "lspci", or "dmesg" or read the file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" actually there are many ways to get the information on what driver you are using. Maybe there is already some pretty GUI in the System menu that will show this. [01:52] guys help [01:53] http://rafb.net/p/iqq2i990.html [01:53] did i set java_home right?

[02:09] joetheodd: soory the line broke i only saw * * * :-) [02:09] But when xubuntu intially boots u with teh startup splash screen [02:09] JFlash what I did was create a dir ~/local , then extracted eclipse there , then sudo ln -s ~/local/eclipse/eclipse /usr/local/bin [02:09] alright I bridged my connections successfully. [02:09] ace_suares, worlds largest resolution ftw :) [02:09] joetheodd: in any case i would not mess with the root crontab but go to /etc/cron.d [02:09] yea i can be root in the terminal [02:09] its definately a <800 X 600 screen [02:09] dial-up over the wireless network. [02:09] JFlash that way if I do a reinstall, I don't have to reinstall eclipse [02:09] it adjust by the time I get to the log in screen [02:09] who is phillip lougher [02:10] joetheodd: and then add a file called upgrade (or any other name) [02:10] now next thing, I still need access to my VNC server and router which I have to neither.

[02:11] ace_squares: is there a command line i can use to restore my previlages or just add myself to the admins group? [02:11] siavash: then do this: 'adduser yourusername admin' [02:11] so nickrud gksudo gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? is that correct [02:11] siavash: your user should be able to do sudo again.

[02:11] When I ran noapic apic=off It still freaazes and returns unable to execute /bin/sh for rc-default: no such file or directory [02:11] JFlash wherever you put the eclipse executable, you'll need to it on the path somehow.

I tried to get it to work under vmware but it gives me the blue screen every time it starts to print. Apparently it's a known bug. Do you know if using virtual box would be better? or of any other ways to get my printer to work properly? [02:14] onats: second.. i have no clue waht to do. You muight go to the terminal (alt-ctrl-f1) and login, and rund apt-get -f install BUT I AM NOT SURE> [02:14] Elijah Does it work if you power all the way off before switching to ubuntu [02:14] ace_suares that's very good advice [02:14] When I try to instll hardy its freezes.

[02:15] its proceeding with the upgrade, hopefully it works [02:16] ace_suares but, it's usually a good idea to mention ctl-atl-f7 at the same time :) [02:16] and i ran sudo apt-get upgrade [02:16] my xp worked find with vista ics and then i booted into ubuntu and got ubuntu to work through vista ics, now i booted back to xp and vista has 2 connections , one of which is a "unidentified network" that will not allow a rename or deletion.

[02:16] airstrikeivanov, the appearance menu references compiz fusion, you can install further controls though [02:16] I think I finally got OGL installed. ‎Wine kept crashing when I told it to run OpenGL though.

[02:32] amenado: i know the wireless works for sure, can get on it with my laptop and gfs [02:32] I just tried it again ace_suares [02:32] nothing happened [02:32] Bill make sure your host has an ip address and a default gateway first thing <-- host == meant your pc not the Access Point [02:32] onats: i like kmail beacuse it has maildir mail dirs. Easy to backup. [02:32] shaba1: gnome or kde ? [02:32] ace_suares: sorry about the typo on last message [02:33] amenado: ah, how would i check that, im getting one on the wireless im using now i guess?

[02:33] Bill: ya you do this on the laptop your having issues with [02:34] FastZ: I just want a general method of doing it [02:34] shaba1, if you know the executable path to the application, you can just create a launcher on your desktop that will open the application when you double click on the icon [02:34] can some body please tell me how to load a module for my wifi card [02:34] shaba1: i dont know if xubuntu has the possibility to do that. [02:34] amenado: wont that just do the ipconfig of the network im barrowing, that is unsecured [02:34] Ok FastZ how do I do that [02:34] !wifi | Tweakerz [02:34] Tweakerz: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [02:34] Tweakerz: look for modprobe (try 'man modprobe') [02:35] Bill in linux it is ifconfig not ipconfig and per JDLSpeedy ...issue this command on the non connecting host [02:35] ace_swares that doesnt work [02:35] shaba1, for instance, you can create a launcher for Firefox on your desktop by right clicking the desktop and selecting New Launcher (or something like that) and then naming it Firefox and then for the command field, type firefox (all lowercase) and then pick an icon and then you're done [02:35] amenado: ah, that means i have to disconnect from you guys, :o [02:35] brianherman: what does not work ? [02:35] FastZ: she is using Xubuntu. [02:36] Bill: bad boy... [02:36] !xubuntu | shaba1 [02:36] shaba1: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME.

Switch to gnome :-) [02:37] ace_suares: i saw the screencast for and i already downloaded the alternative disk. i run AMD64. i'm just going through the motions of making certain it won't mess my computer up. [02:37] Hermes: define sometimes [02:37] Bill: is there a way you can get on IRC and keep that non-working one connected to the wireless you can't get on?

[02:39] what's the kernel that ships with hardy? [02:39] Hermes: did you define sometimes? When sometimes :? What sometimes ? Just SOMETIMES ?

[02:42] use WPA [02:42] It's just working now for some reason [02:42] wireless encryption protocol [02:42] its severely broken [02:42] 20 char PSK keys [02:42] anybody know if linux supports side scrolling with those side scrolling mouse? [02:42] is that my problem? [02:42] @_@ [02:42] brianherman: open a terminal and do 'lspci | grep -i audio' [02:43] yrjokin-> a mere ifup wlan0 should bring it up..assuming the nic name is wlan0 [02:43] thanks [02:43] iwconfig [02:43] 00:1e.2 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03) [02:43] 04:02.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy (rev 04) [02:43] well I'm lacking in work... unfortunately ugh [02:43] ifconfig wlan0 up [02:43] I'll bbiab [02:43] I meant thanks anyway ace_suares [02:43] ifconfig ra0 up or ath0 up [02:43] shaba1, im booting up my xubuntu machine so I can help you figure out how to create launchers on your desktop [02:43] as su [02:43] Use WEP only in a deserted island where you know no one will try to steal your Internet connection [02:43] i want to use audigy ace [02:43] api984: are you speakin to me? [02:43] just advising [02:43] vocx makes since [02:44] thanks FastZ I appreciate it [02:44] i was asking, i hadnt known wep was a bad option [02:44] bare with me since this machine is running a 400Mhz Intel Celeron CPU and has only 128Mb of RAM [02:44] ace_suares: uh this is what i got 00:1e.2 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03) [02:44] 04:02.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy (rev 04) [02:44] how can I know if the system is able to support reboot, hibernate, etc... ? [02:44] Bill: it provdes the illusion of security and will keep out folks who don't know any better. but then, those aren't the folks you tend to care about anyway! :) [02:44] my contrast is so low i thnk i might have problem with ma screen or something [02:44] brianherman: you have TWO sound cards ? [02:44] Which is one of the reasons I use xubuntu on this laptop FastZ [02:45] n1c0: have you tried shutting it off? [02:45] and normally hibernate isn't the best supported on linux overall [02:45] what is so wrong with using WEP or no encryption? as if your signal is so strong it can be captured across town :P..btw look up meraki, they are fielding free wireless access [02:45] What do you mean raghav? [02:45] FALAJOU: yep, halt is good but reboot, hibernate... [02:45] amenado: http://www.wirelessleiden.nl/ [02:45] orphean: well, i didnt know that. is wep easily cracked? and i also heard there is a program in linux that can access any secured network andhow [02:45] anyhow* [02:45] Bill: a neighbor with a mac and a Prism II wireless card could crack your network in a few hours and 4 clicks. [02:45] I spent twelve hours last November trying to get ubuntu installed until someone here told me that I did not have the memory and cpu speed to install it and I should try xubuntu [02:46] i can barley see my screen the color is too low [02:46] i think its the os [02:46] WEP easy hackable [02:46] n1c0: well reboot should be fine,,, and hibernate i wouldn't suggest using period, it's pretty hig and miss on linux [02:46] 12 hours of my life that i will never get back [02:46] shaba1: what cpu and mem ? [02:46] my vista worked fine [02:46] Adjust the brightness then [02:46] amenado, I use WEP but I know no one around knows how to crack it. This is common in underdeveloped countries. [02:46] well im not protecting anything but bandwidth really, we had some free loaders bogging us down [02:46] shaba1: pays to read the docs first, huh? :) [02:46] ok [02:46] whats the best feed reader for linux [02:46] thanks [02:46] vocx: a 12 yr old hack our school WEP with his mobile phone in 30 sec without knowing what he was doing. [02:46] Bill: Mac filtering will do just as well, as long as they don't learn to spoof :) [02:47] !poll | ramier [02:47] ramier: 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. [02:47] WEP unsafe, WPA-PSK or PSK2 safe enught, MAC filtering doesnt help.... [02:47] vocx the concept is to share unused bandwidth if one can even get it...ever connect to one AP with a fading in and out signal? hehe [02:47] FALAJOU: ok. I read that people succeed on hibernating since they manage the screen backlight with toshset command [02:47] maybe the sun is behin\d me so i have to sit were it is shade [02:47] >.< [02:47] yeah...... [02:47] i just want to know a good program since i don't trust google to tell me good programs [02:48] man i appreciate all the advice, any one know of the linux program i may have spoke of? [02:48] hmmm n1c0 not sure, all i know is that i tried to put my computer to sleep and i had to reboot, but everything worked like i just came out of sleep, so it's pretty hit and miss [02:48] could of been a myth [02:48] amenado, the problem is of course not the normal guys, but those that want to download a lot with your connection [02:48] ramier: then ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots like ubottu mentioned. [02:48] Bill: you want us to tell you how to crack WEP? [02:48] ace_suares: yes i have two sound cards [02:48] Bill what program ? Missed your q [02:48] hey hermes [02:48] Is that i need a new configuration for mplayer i just complete install.? [02:48] Bill : what prog [02:48] ramier trust me, i have a crystal ball... :P [02:48] damnit, how can i tell if my kernel is xen?? the nvidia installer is claming so but i dont think so [02:48] are you there? [02:48] FALAJOU>ok [02:48] brianherman: probably some conflict them [02:48] Bill: I don't think that's going to go over too well in here :) [02:48] Is there a command that would allow only one copy of a program to run at at time? For example "onlyone firefox" starts firefox, but if I do another "onlyone firefox" before the first one termintes, it does nothing? I can easily write a script to do that, but I wonder if it's been done to death? [02:48] shaba1, finally booted! getting logged in. I'll be right back [02:48] but I assure you, it does exist. [02:48] oh no, i just heard there was one out in linux that could login to any wireless network [02:48] bill:http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/content/view/24244/98/ [02:48] damn, i'm having a hard time making this nvidia 7300GS card work === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:48] ramier: prism is ok, especially for google reader [02:48] as long as you ohave plenty of time. [02:49] Cannot remember right now ace_suares too tired. I work 11pm-7:30 am and have only had 4 hours of slppe today [02:49] Yeah raghav [02:49] !language | onats [02:49] onats: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [02:49] ok [02:49] cool [02:49] ummmm... [02:49] vocx that the point ..if a signal is fading in and out..he's got one of a patience to sit there and download crap.. hehe [02:49] damn is a bad language???? [02:49] FALAJOU> thank you [02:49] onats: what do you mean work? [02:49] onats: I don't think it is, but clearly FAJALOU does. [02:49] suweid: yes you can do it in bash [02:49] sleep that is [02:49] weirdo [02:49] lol [02:49] Bill: kismet ? [02:49] i know the person who told me about it, so ill find out from him. [02:49] hmm i can check that [02:49] i just wanted to throw it out, it isn't necessarily family friendly [02:49] brianherman, how? [02:50] AirCrack and Kismet... try Backtrack2 or 3 beta [02:50] do you know that infrared remote for linux do you think itl work ifi had irda [02:50] ? [02:50] * Hermes is on IRC [02:50] hermes? [02:50] FAJALOU: they can get away with it on network telivision. [02:50] cycom, i can't get the video card to work properly. max resolution is 800x600, and no 3d acceleration. last time i check, it defaults to the failsafe mode of xorg.. [02:50] Yay [02:50] Yes/ [02:50] Yes? [02:50] * Hermes beats raghav with fish [02:50] cycom, they can get away with alot on network tv. [02:50] onats: did you install the restricted drivers? [02:50] FAJALOU, do you live in a basement? [02:50] no i live in the real world [02:50] Thanks for all the advice guys, i will be changing my wireless security later this evening, i have to get going now though. see you on some other time [02:50] cycom, yes. when i go to the restricted drivers, the driver is ticked [02:50] * gway9000 kids use this irc as well dodo [02:51] onats, is it nvidia? [02:51] Yes raghav what is it? [02:51] fajalou, yes it is [02:51] brianherman: go to sound prefs and change the autodetect. Do you see your sound cards listed ? [02:51] gway9000: first, that doesn't need to be a /me, and second, if kids are using IRC unsupervised, they're seeing a lot worse than 'damn' [02:51] if [ -f ]; then [02:51] on my desktop, sometimes my firefox just stops loading. If i click the FF icon, it will come up with Starting Firefox, but then it will never actually load up. When this occurs, if i try to click the 'Shut Down' button, that will also not display. Others programs load up fine however. What might be causing this? [02:51] [02:51] fi [02:51] ok, i was having issues w/ this too, the #nvidia irc helped me out alot. [02:51] suweid thats how u do it [02:51] Software Question - What are the default packages installed in Ubuntu for working with CDs (copying, burning) [02:51] ace_suares, i tried to manually load windows drivers but that did not work either [02:52] onats: anything in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? [02:52] Okay, thanks. [02:52] onats: specifically EE or WW? [02:52] D3RGPS31: braesero [02:52] this is mad i have now got two os to boot up with but i thinks ubantu has overwritten vista and some files of it. hermes do you think i should system restore will that ork [02:52] work? [02:52] brianherman: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/how-do-you-change-the-default-sound-card-in-kubuntu-499520/ [02:52] ace_suares i see my audio card [02:52] does anyone know if bt.etree.org is legal? [02:52] Fajalou: would that be the package that adds the rightclick option to copy the CD? [02:52] raghav_: does it want to do a hdd check [02:52] a lot of sources say it is....but i don't think i'm buying it... [02:52] Tweakerz: is this the wifi question ? first google if it is supported ! [02:52] Well [02:53] I don't know if System restore will do anything [02:53] in the U.S.* [02:53] D3RGPS31: i would think so, not totally sure but that is what starts up when i click that. [02:53] it is supported [02:53] Hi === Cynical is now known as Herissy [02:53] Tweakerz: it should load automatically then hwo do you know it's not loaded ? [02:54] cycom, wait [02:54] Hi BluntObject [02:54] i mean restore ubantu and leave vista as it is mayby itl free some hdd memory [02:54] dont u think? [02:54] onats: Waiting :) [02:54] I'm looking for someone who is willing to mentor me into building deb packages for Ubuntu [02:54] Fajalou: it isn't D= [02:54] any takers here? [02:54] is there something I can type into the terminal too see if I can get my dvd drive to wakeup test if its working? [02:54] becouse when i type iwconfig nothing is listed [02:54] Well that makes you think Vista doesnt work properly know? [02:54] raghav_: the alternate install disk i believe has a system recovery opetion [02:54] BluntObject: i think you might try #ubuntu-developers [02:54] Does anyone know if I can view the contents of a .tar.gz without extracting it in the shell? [02:54] ace_suares: Ok. Thanks. [02:54] D3RGPS31: hmmm, [02:55] yes try start which ever drive you have [02:55] cause I push the button to open it but it won't open or light up or move.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [03:02] shaba1, you still here? I can't figure out how to create a launcher on fluxbox so i started searching forums for some stuff and came across this thread that shows you how to manipulate your menu to show whatever you want it to show http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=151621 [03:02] ok i first installed ubuntu 7 months ago and since then i am looking for any solution to use my ati radeon hd2600 pro graphics car to use with ubuntu, but i could not find a solution [03:02] Hey all. I was wondering, is there a way to launch a graphical application with root privileges? Like the basic text editor? [03:03] Xeon06: gksudo. But are you sure you need to do this? [03:03] anyone here familiar with bt.etree.org? [03:03] Jrib :what's the risks ? [03:03] Well nano isnt exactly the most user friendly application to edit stuff is it [03:04] And the grub boot configuration probably wont let me edit it in restricted mode [03:04] cobal1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=611166 [03:04] anyone there knows about ati drivers?? [03:04] Xeon06: k [03:04] Just a question tough, how do I find the name of the text editor's file? [03:04] offline: editing stuff without knowing what you are doing is really the only risk [03:04] jrib : ok :) [03:04] coabl1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=692102 [03:04] i need help! is just to help me to modify my souce list, someone can help me???????? [03:05] jrib, do you know anything about bt.etree.org and it's legalities in the U.S.? You've helped me in the past..I apologize for bothering you... [03:05] coabl1 are you runnign hardy ?? [03:05] AdEbTa: waht's the problem with the sources.list ? [03:05] frosty: nope, ask in #ubuntu-offtopic though as it isn't really related to ubuntu [03:05] Xeon06: try apt-get install joe [03:06] Xeon06: sorry 'sudo apt-get install joe' [03:06] ok thanks [03:06] Xeon06: and 'sudo youreditor(nano, joe, vi) /etc/grub/menu.lst' [03:06] I'll see what that is [03:06] oh. joe is a graphical editor? [03:06] Do you know the name of the "default" one perhaps? [03:07] nope i just installed ubuntu and it uses the vesa driver [03:07] Xeon06: vim or nano [03:07] Xeon06: okay you want a GUI ? Try ALT-F2 and then 'sudo gedit /etc/grub/menu.lst' [03:07] Xeon06: you want: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [03:07] Xeon06: are you gnome or kde ? [03:07] Oooh so gedit it is. Thanks loads. [03:07] Gnome [03:07] after doing an ubuntu update this morning my resolution is stuck at 480x600. can anyone help me? [03:07] jrib: right you are right. [03:08] once before i had tried to use the fglrx [03:08] Well just doing in terminal "sudo gedit menu.lst" did the job, thanks. [03:08] Xeon06: okay follow jrib's advice. [03:08] Xeon06: use gksudo for graphical apps... [03:08] i have an nvidia geforce7600 chip [03:08] but it failed [03:08] Xeon06: enless possibilities, if you think of it :-) [03:08] What is the difference? [03:08] !gksudo | xeon06 [03:08] is there any way to light-weigthing hardy on my laptop ? i feel it too heavy, i mean heavier than when i used xp on the same machine [03:08] xeon06: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [03:09] cobal1: mayeb it is in restricted drivers ? [03:09] i installed the 7.10 version and now updating to 8.04 [03:09] how to install grub into my harddrive? [03:09] with my live cd [03:09] i will try the restricted drivers [03:09] georgij: try supergrubdisk [03:09] ace_suares, it looks like the modules for the wifi is missing totally iwlwifi_mac80211 iwl3945 [03:09] can anyone help me?

[03:10] Tweakerz: and you can not 'modprobe wifi_mac80211' ? [03:11] georgij: the fast command doesnt work until 6 am [03:11] I ma still here FastZ Just badly lagged [03:11] anyone?

Keep them :-) [03:11] just type it kaston... someone will reply [03:11] Please give me a fast suggestion help me please I dont have much time [03:12] Tweakerz: try 'locate mac80211' [03:12] after doing an ubuntu update this morning my resolution is stuck at 480x600.

[03:14] yrjokin: if you just remove the old kernel, it will take care of the grub entries automatically [03:15] FAJALOU: I have two OS's [03:15] yrjokin: the package is named linux-image-BLAH [03:15] AdEbTa: sorry i might have missed your lines please repeat [03:15] ok [03:15] yrjokin, o ok. what partition is the other os on and what is it?

[03:40] I have windows on it [03:40] But I want grub only === Guest26251 is now known as Rael420 [03:40] Rael... are you Rael from MT? [03:40] I dont want to remove windows [03:41] because it isnt my computer [03:41] nope [03:41] georgij: partition the hd [03:41] I was only told to fix grub [03:41] georgij: Again, Stop using the enter key as punctuation. So, you want to boot windows with GRUB, but you have no linux on it? [03:41] not to delete windows [03:41] thanks cl0s-home; flannel. I appreciate it. [03:41] well. is there linux on the same hdd as well ? [03:41] I have external hds that I have linux inside [03:41] georgij: Again, these are things you should be including in your original question. You're currently making it *extremely* difficult to help you, which is why you haven't been helped yet. [03:41] So I can boot [03:41] hi all [03:41] georgij: can i ask what you want to install grub for? lol with no linux? [03:42] I have linux on my external hds [03:42] georgij: How many harddrives do you have in this computer? [03:42] 1 [03:42] * ace_suares leaves the house. Just finishing a pm with Tweakerz. BYE ALL ! [03:42] georgij: Does your BIOS allow you to boot to USB? [03:42] and one external thats mine with ubuntu [03:42] I am trying to reinstall the madwifi thing, my wi fi stopped working. after I unzip when I do make clean I get this: cd: 1: can't cd to /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/build [03:42] yes [03:42] can anyone help me [03:42] it allows me to boot anything even lan [03:42] georgij: so, you install GRUB to the USB one, and then in the BIOS, select that disk to boot to. [03:42] !question | ozkelligirl [03:42] ozkelligirl: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[03:42] oo i c.. not 100% sure but you most likely dont need grub u just need to boot off that external hd [03:42] hi [03:43] can anyone see me? [03:43] georgij: You *cant* install grub on the internal one, without overwriting the windows bootloader. theres only one MBR [03:43] !hi | widespread [03:43] Ok flannel how do i install grub [03:43] widespread: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [03:43] does anyone know how to make a printer work through any kind of virtual machine? [03:43] i have to take a dump === Cynical is now known as Herissy [03:43] let me overwrite the Windows bootloader [03:43] can anyone tell me what packages should I install for compiz? [03:43] I dont want the windows bootloader [03:43] i'm using ubuntu8.04 how do i get rolling block screen working [03:43] georgij: go to your bios and change the boot sequence, put your usb drive first.. [03:43] georgij: Is this a fresh install of Ubuntu on the USB drive? [03:43] I want grub how can i replace it? [03:44] Schuenemann If you have ubuntu installed, all the necessary packages are already installed [03:44] IF its setup right it should just work.. [03:44] georgij: please stop repeating the same question. You're being helped. Stop asking the same thing again and again. [03:44] anyone know if you can install printer drivers in virtual box and not get the same error you get in vmware? [03:44] webcamwonder, actually I'm using KDE [03:44] But when I leave here how is my friend going to use this computer since it is his [03:44] Flannel, why not take georgij into #ubuntu-classroom where there'll be less noise. [03:45] georgij: for what you want, it makes no sense to go thru the hassle of installing grub just to boot windows.. you need to just boot off the usb hd.. when you leave there is no usb hd so it will go to the secondary which is prob cd then his hd.. [03:45] webcamwonder, is it just compiz package? [03:45] georgij: /join #ubuntu-classroom [03:45] If i say like this I have no bootloader please learn me how to install grub [03:45] Schuenemann you need the compiz-core package if i am not mistaken, it won't require you to install the GDE [03:46] whats the command to force an version upgrade?? [03:46] ok another question, why does the grub keep populating my start up list with more and more kernel versions? === khyron is now known as khyron320 [03:46] georgij: /join #ubuntu-classroom [03:47] siavash: because you have multiple kernels, and when you update grub, it detects the different kernels === khyron320 is now known as khyron [03:47] Flannel: can you help me with 1 problem ? :) [03:47] !ask | doubled_ [03:47] doubled_: 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. :-) [03:47] Rael420: I would say you are missing some build tools, check to see if you have build-essentials ect installed [03:47] there is a place in the grub menu.lst that gives you the option of only showing one kernel [03:47] its something like sudo aptitude force-upgrade isnt it?say going from 7.10 to 8.04 i mean... === khyron is now known as Khyron320 [03:47] FAJALOU: cool thx [03:48] could anyone tell me how to get 'libnotify'? [03:48] bluefoxx-> may i suggest a new install instead of upgrade to avoid any headache on updates? [03:48] crimsaq: use your favorite package manager. It is in the repositories [03:48] hey guys, how do i stream media files off a server to my laptop running ubuntu? i linked my ubuntu laptop to my media server (windows). i go to the networked folder with all my music on my ubuntu laptop. i can see the files, copy them to my hard drive and all but i cant run them off my server. how do i run them on my server [03:48] crimsaq: looks like the package is "libnotify1" [03:48] or siavash you could try sudo update-grub and see if they disappear [03:49] Paying 100 dollars to anyone who figures out what font is all pipes and squares! [03:49] recon69: I did the build-essiential install and it says :build-essential is already the newest version. [03:49] crimsaq: sudo apt-get insatll pidgin-libnotify [03:49] amenado; im just wondering what the command is, imnot using it...i have a blank machine sitting here and i had the idea to isntall ibex on it to watch it progress [03:49] I found it as libnotify-bin in aptitude? [03:49] install even [03:49] * psyntience can't spell. [03:49] siavash: uninstall the kernels you aren't using, and the extra entries will go away as well [03:49] and for XChat, not pidgin :P [03:49] FAJALOU: so there is no file where the boot options are listed like in windows? [03:49] yoyoned: how do I do that? [03:49] I have a g15 keyboard from logitech. from g15tools.com i've downloaded all the files they offer. now i need to install it, but i dont know how. the readme says i need to install libg15 first. so then i checked the readme in that folder. and it said to do ./configure.. from that point it configures some stuff but then stops and says "configure: error: "libusb not found. please install it". so i did "locate libusb" and it found some files already on my sy [03:49] stem so i dont know why its saying it cant find libusb. [03:50] my idea was to get a laptop with a small hard drive to wirelessly connect to my desktop with a massive hard drive and stream movies and music off the big PCs hard drive [03:50] ? [03:50] bluefoxx-> well you can not upgrade and empty one, so you just have to install [03:50] nomopofomo, http://www.fontspace.com/category/pipes ? [03:50] siavash: do you know how to use synaptic [03:50] yep [03:50] siavash: yes there is... it's boot/grub/menu.lst [03:50] crimsaq: -bin is a binary, do you need the program "libnotify" or just the library? [03:50] Schuenemann I am sorry, I cannot find the exact packages required, maybe someone else can help you [03:50] cool thx FAJALOU [03:50] np [03:50] amenado; well the plan would be install hardy then force aversion upgrade using the command im hunting for... [03:51] how do I use the zoom function on a laptop [03:51] Schuenemann, lol no... it's like an ascii font (unsure if I used the term properly) [03:51] ? [03:51] doubled_: apt-get install libusb-dev === ubuntu_ is now known as dubuntu [03:51] bluefoxx go ahead, if you have the liveCd or alternate..boot it up [03:51] ok thank you orphean i will try it [03:51] Schuenemann, if you've ever had windows it's just called "Terminal" [03:51] http://paste.ubuntu.com/22013/ [03:51] doubled_: packages are split into parts, the part that's used, and then the part used for development. [03:51] amenado; but the command in question is all i lack... [03:51] matthew. install compiz manager from add remove programs then go to the zoom menu thing and change the contols [03:51] doubled_: if you're compiling stuff you need the -dev package installed [03:51] shouldn't this package be in the universal repository? http://paste.ubuntu.com/22013/ [03:51] timer not connected to io apic??

Without having to install the Microsoft one if possible. [03:52] nomopofomo, I use Courier [03:52] yoyoned: how do I uninstall the other kernels through synaptec? and is it safe to uninstall all kernels and just leave 1? how much space do they take up? [03:52] dubuntu: that particular one isnt, no. But libevent is, libevent1 is the name of the package ith that library [03:52] dmsuperman, I figured Ubuntu would have one [03:52] Sat Jun 21 23:52:41 ADT 2008 [03:52] amenado; i know this. im asking what the terminal command to force a version upgrade is. then im going to install and run the command... [03:52] anyone solved timer not connected to io apic?? [03:53] Rael420:: next guess is the kernel-headers [03:53] good evening guys [03:53] siavash: yes it's safe, i actually just did it [03:53] nomopofomo, don't bother paying 100 bucks to figure it out though, i'm sure somebody here will know without needing money :P [03:53] mathew. make it like windows button and + or something :D [03:53] siavash: Its usually a good idea to leave two (the current one and an old, known working one). Just remove the various older linux-image files [03:53] what should I do to check that [03:53] dmsuperman, that's what I'm betting on :) [03:53] dmsuperman, I just use that to get your attention ^_^ hehehe [03:53] :)) sounds good [03:53] Flannel: thanks [03:53] bluefoxx once more, the sequence will be to install via a liveCd or alternate CD and then do an upgrade via synaptic or command line apt-get upgrade [03:53] heh [03:53] Matthew: connect a normal mouse, at least for me i think laptop touchpads are irritating. nevertheless, you can change keybindings for every function in compiz via the advanced settings [03:53] Sat Jun 21 23:53:41 ADT 2008 [03:53] Rael420: check synaptic [03:54] YeaSt: Please turn that off [03:54] siavash: in synaptic, search for linux-image. it will show all the kernels you currently have installed. if you open a terminal and type uname -a it it will tell you what you current running kernel is. in synaptic,uninstall all the other kernels besides the one you are running [03:54] bluefoxx-> you seem to have the sequence off [03:54] nomopofomo, but yeah, I've always used "monospace" or "courier" [03:54] ace_suares: i boot from supergrubdisk but i really don't know how to fix [03:54] can anyone tell me what packages should I install for compiz?

[03:55] Matthew: you're welcome :) [03:55] amenado; i allready understand this. what i need to know is the exact command i would use...i would expect something like "sudo aptitude force-upgrade" but since my main box is down for hardware maitance i cant check [03:55] recon69: what is the name of the package I am looking for [03:55] hello, anyone use kubuntu with kde4? [03:55] siavash: understood [03:55] Schuenemann: You might have better luck in #kubuntu then.

[04:01] dmsuperman was just wondering bcuz ive asked about the io-apic and didnt get any reply [04:01] travis70, i don't know about gateways, I'm on a laptop also. Compiz should work on your chip.

I have like every compiz plugin enabled. but I digress, as you are correct about OT talk [04:06] Okay. I was wondering if it needs a restricted driver, but the Hardware driver dialog doesn't mention it.

[04:13] siavash: rwe rwe rwe 421 421 421. add the numbers you want for the user, group, and world permissions :) [04:13] I want to resize because Ubuntu tells me it's got only 2GiB left for usage. I want to increase that. How do I do so? [04:13] cycom, siavash, he means rwx [04:13] So sometimes when installing things using apt-get I get notices about malformed documents in the /var/lib/scrollkeeper folder. I can usually go in and look at the end of the file it complains about and see like a half-written tag trying to end something that was already ended (for example then the next line has ites>).

I can tell theres a delay in my typing. [04:17] `Kryten`: with 2.6.24-16 the driver from nvidia site worked great... [04:17] dlozarie, resize the other partition, make it smaller. then you'll have unallocated space. resize the ubuntu partition to make use of that space [04:17] `Kryten`: now I'm trying EnvyNG...

The MX3200 is crap compared? [04:19] <`Kryten`> ok..... when you install a new kernel... you need to reinstall the nvidia driver (so it can compile against the new kernel sources) [04:19] @dmsuperman, okay, I did that already, but I still can't increase /dev/sda5's size. There is an unallocated 12.5 GB listed here, tho. How do I allocate that to /dev/sda5?

I also have hotkeys, since this is linux [04:24] kestrel mainly, it uses /root as the home so you don't write to a config file as root, which can easily happen with sudo [04:24] hi all how can i install firefox 3 no beta on ubuntu??? [04:24] dlozarie do you see keys next to any partitions besides swap?

There are a lot of computer parts I'll spend good money for, but I've never found a keyboard to justify that much money for it [04:26] dru do sudo update-alternatives --config xulrunner-1.9-flashplugin.so [04:26] well, @dmsuperman had told me that the partition in which ubuntu is installed must have a ext3 filesystem, so yes I assume so. [04:26] drenz, just open it, it'll open with the archive manager [04:26] drenz: if you already have hardy just run an update.. [04:26] dlozarie and youre in live session, so the only locked part *should be* your swap file.. [04:26] dmsuperman, thanx [04:26] much [04:26] drenz, extract it where you want to install it to (usually /opt/firefox) and then run firefox [04:26] No alternatives for xulrunner-1.9-flashplugin.so.

[04:27] lol [04:27] i love how everybody who has windows comes in this channel and gets all embarassed that they have it installed...it's like being addicted to heroin and admitting to it when somebody asks [04:27] nickrud: same [04:27] what mp3 player is good to install on ubuntu im new [04:27] @unavailable, well gparted is listing /dev/sda1 until /dev/sda6. [04:28] ok... | [04:28] @unavailable, altho there isn't any /dev/sda4. [04:28] rofl [04:28] doubled, i have media buttons, the lcd is useless to me (i have 2 monitors, and soon to be 4 monitors for viewing information) and backlit keys are also inexpensive [04:28] is there a system variable that stores what your username is?

I dont want a new partition, so cursors off that button. @unavailable, yes. [04:29] no drivers or anything??

[04:30] dlozarie select "resize" [04:30] cl0s-home, you wouldn't sell a 5 year old crack would you? [04:30] damn trying to get the latest ATI drivers working is arse... Anyone know of a good how to for the latests 8.6 under hardy? [04:30] @unavailable, "resize/move" clicked. [04:30] dmsuperman: i will give you 100 euros if you give me a crt of 2 bucks that has better quality than my lcd [04:30] drenz, told you, extract it wherever you want to install it to (usually /opt/firefox) then run the executable (/opt/firefox/firefox) [04:30] nickrud: still does not work, i followed the prompt used option 1, restarted ff .. nothing .. went back and tryed option 2 and restared, nothing [04:30] dlozarie drag the leftmost highlighted edge as far to the left as youcan [04:31] if someone is willing to buy it.. why not? [04:31] wazzzz: up [04:31] sorry had to do it [04:31] cl0s-home, selling crack to a 5 year old and selling vista to someone both equate to wishing bad things for their future :) [04:31] doubled, I've got 3 sitting in my apartment. CRTs have ALWAYS had better picture than LCD. The reason people like LCDs so much is lower power consumption and smaller footprint [04:31] @unavailable, the left side of the box, right? nope, can't drag it to the right (or to the left, for that matter) any further. [04:31] oo i miss understood ur question [04:31] lol [04:31] cl0s-home, it is just plain wrong. evil [04:31] ronin12345 http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide [04:31] dlozarie ok so you see the part info for that part? [04:32] dmsuperman, i extract it on dresktop and i run firefox it open like a txt [04:32] @unavailable, hold on. [04:32] doubled, LCDs have to use cheating mechanisms to show black, and even then it's not black. Plus, they suck for any video such as games or movies (muuuuch lower contrast) [04:32] lolol.. noo ur right.. i thought u said a 5 year old crack.. thought u meant like a windows crack or photoshop crack. lolol [04:32] well i fixed my problem with system not booting after attaching drives to fakeRAID ctrl [04:32] dlozarie but you cant add to it? [04:32] drenz, did you run the file "firefox" inside [04:32] dmsuperman: i dont see television manufacturers making any crt televisions anymore [04:32] @unavailable, nope, unfortunately not. Altho there's this 12GiB of unallocated space sitting right there waiting to be used. lol [04:32] #channel list [04:32] dru very strange. do sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-nonfree libflashsupport && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree libflashsupport . I'm assuming you've used no other way to install flash? [04:32] doubled, they make plasmas now [04:32] dlozarie does it show in this view? [04:33] firefox 3 final is now in hardy it says [04:33] doubled, plasmas look good. LCDs do not look good. [04:33] doubled, I take that back, _some_ LCDs look good [04:33] @unavailable, "free space preceding: 0", "new size: 7177 (that was the original)", and "free space following: 0". That's what it says below the draggable rectangle. [04:33] but is it out on windows? [04:33] thats my que.. roll up time.. peace guys.. [04:33] dmsuperman: like mine :p [04:33] mm.. i run it and i press display and opened like txt press run opened old fire fox 3 BETA [04:33] doubled, but those are very very very expensive, and overpriced for what you get [04:33] anyway, im gonna go to sleep [04:33] dmsuperman, [04:33] well mine was 1000 euros [04:33] :p [04:33] doubled, bye :) [04:33] doubled, yeah, not worth any 24" screen for that price :P [04:33] as expensive as my car [04:33] how do i get a channel list for freenode in pidgin? I want to find a open source channel [04:34] drenz, how do you know it's the beta? [04:34] can anyone tell me how i can handle rar files? [04:34] siavash, 7zip [04:34] dmsuperman, lookin at help [04:34] about [04:34] siavash, unrar [04:34] doesn't the default package manager handle .rar files? i have yet to have trouble with any archive [04:34] drenz, what's it say [04:34] nickrud: still nothing .. [04:34] nukrun:cheers [04:34] dlozarie hmmm [04:34] i think it is, i got my ps3, my computer and my wii connected to it :) oh and my dreambox dm500 [04:34] MrWizeGuy1983, I was going to say that, but I didn't want to sound like a moron [04:34] nickrud: it was working fine the other day, then i get on and it dont work [04:35] Mozilla fire fox beta 5 dmsuperman [04:35] dru very strange. Did you install firefox3 from the ubuntu repos? [04:35] @unavailable, it's vexing! I've been trying to add more space for Ubuntu's use since yesterday. @nickrud had helped me with it, but still we weren't able to solve it. [04:35] ok [04:35] Elijah: Tools > Room List [04:35] dlozarie try this.... right click the swapspace [04:35] drenz, try installing it from the repos? I thought it wasn't updated yet but from what nickrud is saying it appears it's up to date now [04:35] dlozarie click "swapoff" [04:35] ill come back tommorow for my installing issues [04:35] cya ;D [04:35] dmsuperman, why do people ask about .rar etc.? the default always works for me [04:35] nickrud: i upgraded via the update manager to the newest version of ubuntu .. and it automatically upgraded firefox [04:35] !info firefox-3.0 [04:35] firefox-3.0 (source: firefox-3.0): safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 (hardy), package size 1038 kB, installed size 3552 kB [04:35] LG Still sell a range of FLAT TV (CRT) - http://www.lge.com/products/category/list/tv_flat%20tv.jhtml [04:36] MrWizeGuy1983, who knows :D [04:36] yep, it's in the repos [04:36] @unavailable, it's the partition with filesystem "linux-swap" right? [04:36] yep [04:36] dmsuperman, i update all my ubuntu i think and fire fox gonna updated to 3 [04:36] @unavailable, clicked. it's scanning now. [04:36] ok [04:36] @unavailable, so the status bar says "2 operations pending". [04:36] nickrud: lol im confused ... [04:37] dlozarie click "details" [04:37] @unavailable, I'm sorry, I don't see any "details" button here. [04:37] dru could be an issue with the upgrade ... hm. One last possibility for an easy fix: sudo update-alternatives --config xulrunner-addons-flashplugin [04:37] near the bottom try to expand the view [04:38] looking for a cli usenet client.. [04:38] dlozaire near the bottom try to expand the view [04:38] Gun_Smoke, google is your friend [04:38] to install the official firefox 3 just type sudo apt-get install firefox right? [04:38] hello all [04:38] dmsuperman, Oh I know.. I'm looking for opinions.. [04:38] Herissy, aye [04:38] how can i make changes in my /etc/fstab without having to reboot? [04:38] Gun_Smoke, ah [04:38] Herissy, yes but if you've been doing your updates you've had it for around a week or 2 [04:38] nano_, just edit it, save, and umount and remount volumes [04:38] Pan currently... [04:39] nickrud: i love you .. haha thanks man it works [04:39] dmacnutt, thnx [04:39] you mean dmsuperman? :P [04:39] @unavailable, hold on. right above the status bar there's a box with "grow /dev/sda1 from ....." and "shrink /dev/sda1 from...." when I right click on the empty space, an option "apply all operations" appears. I should click on that right? [04:39] screwed up my name :( [04:39] what is the easiest way to have three systems with the same software be updated at the same time (system updates, automaticly) [04:39] does 7zip have a gui? or is it command line only? [04:39] @siavash, it has a GUI. [04:39] i haven't and mine is 3b5 still [04:39] dmsuperman, do you use usenet? [04:39] siavash, in windows it has a GUI, but i think it just extends archive manager in linux [04:39] dru heh. That's not how mine gets firefox, but I saw some possibilities in the file system [04:39] Ill finally have it prolly sometime next week.. [04:39] Gun_Smoke, naw [04:40] dlozarie.. im not too sure about that.. [04:40] anyone? [04:40] @unavailable, well if I'm interpreting this right, I'd tried to shrink /dev/sda1 but the operation to do so didn't commence yet. [04:40] ALPSINC, "sudo apt-get upgrade" on each [04:40] ALPSINC what do you mean, at the same time? Use the same debs so you don't have to keep downloading them? [04:40] dlozarie did you actually try to shrink it? [04:40] nickrud: yea thanks for tryin so hard, im better php anyways .. if you ever need anything .. my email is .. dru@beer.com [04:40] PLease help I cant get my nvidia fx 5200 pci play nice with ubuntu [04:40] @unavailable, I tried to shrink /dev/sda1 [04:41] ok [04:41] then yah [04:41] I installed it (p7zip-full), but my archive manager still can't handle my rar file [04:41] localgod11, you should try envyng [04:41] I did no luck [04:41] siavash sudo apt-get install rar unrar [04:41] dru I'll remember that. I do a little php now and then, and I depend on 20yearold memories of programming and a couple books ;) [04:41] dlozarie as long as you recognize the actions it is trying to take [04:41] nickrud: i have synaptic be able to notify when updates are available, but not to install? [04:41] siavash that should get you rar and unrar capabilities in filemanager [04:41] @unavailable, I've clicked on the "apply all operations" button. this is gonna take a long time, I reckon. yes, I recognize the actions it's trying to make. [04:41] MrWizeGuy1983: I did no luck [04:41] localgod11, what did it say when you tried it? [04:41] is that just a simple setting? [04:41] webcamwonder I'll try that [04:41] ok [04:42] dlozarie how big is your drive? [04:42] dlozarie, it usually has to move all the files on the partition around to resize [04:42] ALPSINC yes, system->admin->software sources updates tab [04:42] MrWizeGuy1983: dumpeed me to root access on boot [04:42] @unavailable, I have one 120GB hard drive. 1 of 2 operations complete. [04:42] nickrud: ahhh thanks so much! [04:42] webcamwonder: Thx it works! [04:42] * unavailable hopes it doesnt try to move windows files [04:42] localgod11, did you run it as root? just with sudo? [04:42] siavash Glad to Help! [04:42] localgod11, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [04:42] you have saved me quite a bit of time :P [04:43] localgod11, reconfigure xorg.conf [04:43] siavash You might want to remove 7zip if you installed it [04:43] localgod11, back it up first though [04:43] ALPSINC I live for saving others effort ;p [04:43] MrWizeGuy1983: used sudo [04:43] webcamwonder: purged it already haha [04:43] :p [04:43] siavash Good for you :) [04:43] hey, ive noticed that my download speeds usually top out at 700-800kbps, i have a 10mbps connection and speed test usually shows around 5-8mbps, i use a router to split the connection between 4 computers, i have not tried directly out of the modem yet but can someone point me to the right direction with solving this problem or is it common to have your download speeds top at 800kbps behind a router [04:43] localgod11, you can try what dmsuperman said or log in to root and try it [04:43] @unavailable, I've been contemplating on removing windows altogether anyway, so if Windows refuses to work, then... [04:43] dmsuperman now in gparted swapoff is only per session? [04:44] unavailable, no clue, i never used gparted [04:44] dlozarie me too. but that dang sims keeps windows on my pc [04:44] rofl [04:44] hahaha [04:44] @unavailable, yeah I could never part with Sims 2 Open For Business. [04:44] unavailable, agreed. supreme commander is the sole purpose of windows on my machine [04:44] lol but I have a desktop machine running Mammon's Windows XP, sooo.. [04:45] * unavailable tried sims2 on a virtualbox xp ..... ... [04:45] dmsuperman: once i do that how to i rebot the xserver? [04:45] localgod11, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [04:45] I decided to go dual boot because my wife is stuborn and won't switch out of windows. [04:45] i'm curious, i wonder if there's a way to resize partitions while inside ubuntu, you can do it from inside vista [04:45] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [04:45] localgod11 ctrl alt backspace? [04:45] or just restart [04:45] nickrud: one more question, do you know of any other remote (a.k.a. from a computer 2ft away from my systems, because i have no spare money to buy monitator/kbord/mse for them) administration (users/useage ect...) with a gui [04:45] unavailable, I think he's in a TTY, not sure if that shortcut works there [04:45] MrWizeGuy1983: you can with gpared [04:45] aah [04:45] ALPSINC, ssh [04:45] @MrWizeGuy, I'm resizing partitions now in a live session. [04:45] gparted [04:45] ALPSINC: vnc. [04:46] ALPSINC I've seen people use vnc and vncserver and a few others, but I'm not real familiar with them [04:46] ahh [04:46] with what program? gparted doesn't give the option [04:46] vnc is really easy [04:46] ALPSINC I do my remote stuff with ssh [04:46] ALPSINC: make sure you use something secure to tunnel it though [04:46] this progress bar is scaring me. Hope my laptop doesnt spontaneously combust. [04:46] right.. [04:46] mrwizeguy1983 depends on how you want to do it... if you want to resize an active partition you must boot into a live cd [04:46] Hey anybody got yahoo messenger 7.347 to work ? [04:46] nope [04:46] good luck [04:46] ALPSINC, SSH gives you command line access, VNC gives you gui access. I find SSH to be better, simply that it runs easier and takes no configuration to run [04:46] dmsuperman: i use ssh... but i was hoping there was a better tool with a gui :) [04:46] ALPSINC, but if you prefer a GUI environment, VNC works just as well [04:46] kaboom i use virtualbox [04:46] that's exactly what i was talking about unavailable but vista lets you do it to an active partition [04:46] wow [04:47] yes thanks :) [04:47] kaboom, any reason not to use pidgin? [04:47] I'm unbanned [04:47] i'll look into that [04:47] dmsuperman voice? [04:47] I don't really like the interface .. doesn't sit well with me [04:47] is there any lcdproc experts in the building? i have a noritake gu128x32 VFD i would like to get working in linux, no luck.. it works with lcdhype in windows though! [04:47] and i do go into yahoo chats .. and pidgin seemed unreliable for the yahoo chats [04:47] unavailable, I know that, I was wondering his reasons though because if not for voice/video I always recommend pidgin over trying to get their clients to work :P [04:47] nixternal: [04:47] ALPSINC https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC [04:47] yeah and correct me if I'm wrong, but pidgin doesn't support webcams. [04:47] nixternal: what up? [04:48] nixternal: what's the word on the loco meetings [04:48] dlozarie as long as nothing turns red you should be in the clear [04:48] dlozarie, you're right. it doesn't work with audio or video as far as I know...I never use either though so I love pidgin [04:48] nickrud: thanks, i'll look at that [04:48] @unavailable, everything's orange right now. that's good, right? lol [04:48] * unavailable wonders when gyach enhanced will finally make a deb file [04:48] @dmsuperman, yeah but let's hope the devs add that functionality in future releases. [04:48] dlozarie as long as its not an X [04:49] dlozarie, perhaps...it's pretty difficult to get it working on all platforms that pidgin is running on though [04:49] @unavailable, no X's here. [04:49] dlozarie, i'm sure it's on the list, just a matter of actually doing it [04:49] @dmsuperman, yeah pidgin would work a lot better then. [04:49] how do i know if the rest of my hardware on my laptop is 64 bit capable?? [04:49] hey, does Meebo support audio/video? [04:50] dlozarie you expand the details? click the arrow next to "details" [04:50] khaotik, iirc, just your processor needs be 64 bit [04:50] dlozarie, highly doubt it...isn't meebo browser-based? [04:50] i have an amd 64 turion dual core [04:50] @unavailable, yes. it just shows a check mark next to the first operation and some cogs next to the second one. [04:50] aah [04:50] yo: check with #ubuntu-chicago on meetings, I don't schedule them anymore, you would want to talk to j1mc or eddieftw in there [04:50] @dmsuperman, yeah it's browser-based. feh, I'd still choose pidgin over YM any day. [04:50] so will all the applications i love to use work in 64 bit? [04:51] khaotik unless you have a real need for 64 bit computing, i would say go with 32 bit... the software list sucks with 64 bit [04:51] nixternal: so the codlug is done!?! [04:51] dlozarie, totally agreed. I don't care about voice/video chat here, i use my internet tablet for that, so I love pidgin :D [04:51] yo: nope, we have a meeting tomorrow [04:51] can anyone tell me if/how i can use a .img CD image? [04:51] dang, I forgot about it too [04:51] @dmsuperman, me loves pidgin too. [04:51] I am setting up a ubuntu+ltsp system, would It be any better to run the clients with the xfce desktop instead of gnome ? [04:51] <- is on 64 bit hardy right now, could tha tbe why lcdproc isn't working? [04:51] nixternal: oh, so you got the advisor thing straightened out? [04:51] chr0n1c, we'll blame 64 bit even if it's not the culprit :P [04:51] @dmsuperman, whoa! there's a video/audio chat option on meebo! [04:51] i even compiled it myself though for 64bit [04:51] dlozarie, lies. where. [04:51] yo: yes we did [04:52] chr0n1c probably [04:52] lol dmsuperman [04:52] nixternal: is this the first meeting since the fiasco? [04:52] are they going to improve the software list [04:52] In the sense of "default ubuntu stuff", what is templates? [04:52] @dmsuperman, no kidding! just click on a contact (double click i think) and then there'll be a webcam graphic you can click. [04:52] yo: yes it is [04:52] the folder templates, for, that is. [04:52] dmsuperman: didnt work man, when i rebooted it lookied like it was going to load but then dumped me into a shell [04:52] !ot | yo nixternal (looks for jack) [04:52] yo nixternal (looks for jack): #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [04:52] bah [04:53] last line says end trace (lots of letters and numbers) [04:53] :) [04:53] nixternal: my bad. I'll try to make it out. [04:53] roger that, then we will do Portillos afterwards and go crash frys [04:53] who are you btw yo? [04:53] It's D [04:53] don [04:53] @dmsuperman, I won't try it out here tho. it's a live session, and trying out audio/video would require me to install flash. [04:53] err, d'oh :) [04:53] cool [04:53] dlozarie, i'll check it out for you [04:54] ya, make it out, maybe I will give a talk or two tomorrow [04:54] no, D [04:54] haha [04:54] @dmsuperman, thx! :) [04:54] very cool!! [04:54] dlozarie but no sound [04:54] dang [04:54] @unavailable, oh. sad. lol [04:54] Can I get some help with getting my nvidia card to work, I tried Envy and I tried the Binary Driver how to [04:54] @unavailable, the mic on my Acer travelmate's crappy anyway. [04:54] rofl [04:54] is there a comparable app to windows movie maker for linux? [04:55] @chr0n1c, wish there was. [04:55] dlozarie, I have no friends on yahoo, or a mic or webcam, but it seems to be working. it says it's waiting for another user. [04:55] @dmsuperman, that's cool. ^^, === ce_cuabiez is now known as [ce_eXemphE_WaiT [04:55] I installed AWN and now my task bar is getting scrambled upon startup [04:55] @unavailable, so both operations are finished! trying to resize /dev/sda5 now.

[04:57] dlozarie and there's nothing between the unpartitioned space, and the partition you wish to add it to? [04:57] I installed AWN and now my task bar is getting scrambled upon startup [04:57] localgod11 did you try the proprietary drivers? [04:57] @unavailable, what do you mean? [04:57] I used the ones described here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [04:58] do you have any partitions logically between your ubuntu partition and the unallcspace? [04:58] dlozarie well... basically on the pic is there a partition between the unpartitioned space and sda5? [04:58] chr0n1c, dlozarie: kino is close, cinerella is more advanced. [04:58] i just found kino [04:58] localgod11 is the comp connected to the net? [04:59] @unavailable, hmm. I'm not sure I get what do you mean. but hold on, imma take a screenshot then upload it for you to look at. :D [04:59] ok [04:59] unavailable: yep [04:59] i was checking into it, thanks Flannel [04:59] localgod system > administration > hardware drivers [04:59] localgod11 system > administration > hardware drivers [05:00] * unavailable makes sure [05:00] heh [05:00] it may be restricted drivers in hardy, i don't remember [05:00] [05:01] how do you use ls so it lists files by page so i can browse?

I made the switch from yahoo svcs to google svcs recently, tho I'm still on flickr and my ymail's not closed yet. [05:02] what is the package name for Bitch-X? [05:02] dlozarie, google owns [05:02] O_o [05:02] @dmsuperman, agreed. [05:02] Ontolog_, sudo apt-cache search bitch [05:02] rofl [05:02] Ontolog_: bitchX isn't packaged anymore since it had a number of security holes and wasn't being maintained anymore [05:02] @unavailable, here's the screenshot: http://is.gd/D6v [05:02] Ontolog_, it allows you to search through package names/descriptions with the word "bitch" in them [05:03] hey guys has anyone here ever encountered a virus on their linux systems?

[05:13] localgod11 only thing i can think of is check your bios, otherwise its beyond me.. [05:13] speaking of wine, iTunes works with Wine, right?

[05:15] chr0nic: any other options? [05:15] dlozarie, songbird's interface is very similar to iTunes, plus it's mozilla powered so it also has mozilla elements [05:15] afallenhope: if one is gnome and the other is kde maybe [05:15] dlozarie, it's my favorite after exaile [05:15] theFATMAN, nope, all outta ideas [05:15] lol :( [05:15] ty Scunizi [05:15] chr0nic: damn, one of 'em is Akira, been trying to see it for awhile ;( [05:16] OMG: iTunes on linux is not good...

[05:18] theFATMAN, have you seen the version of amorok yet? [05:18] theFATMAN, v 2 sry [05:18] spideyman: which version? [05:18] oh [05:18] 6.86 o 6.87 GiB copied. lol [05:19] i thought i was using 9 actually [05:19] I have to say, despite its slowness, I couldn't part ways with iTunes. [05:19] 1.4.9 [05:19] i thought that was what it said on the splash [05:19] sudo apt-cache search bored [05:19] lol [05:19] theFATMAN: for my case, alsa can't pass through pulseaudio for majority of apps use alsa (abeilt music players and mplayers). and when it can't find alsa, it hang my apps (100%cpu) [05:19] I hate pulseaudio [05:20] pulseaudio is the sole reason i switched back to gutsy [05:20] idyllic: ohhh, ok, i had heard it was "revolutionary" [05:20] i guess i use alsa and jack for midi.. i don't even know what pulseaudio does, it may be doing something [05:20] dmsuperman: yeah, me too now.

Core 1 will be using like 20%, core 2 gets like 0% [05:29] my no-core cpu always runs cold for some reason [05:29] chr0n1c, you're missing some cores, that's why [05:29] dmsuperman, oh!

[05:42] WindyCN: Your IP address changed? (What else has changed??) [05:43] more or less nothing [05:43] as far as I can tell [05:43] dlzoarie turns the swapspace on/off [05:43] it enables/disables swap [05:43] swap is virtual memory [05:43] all intents and purposes it's the same PC, just different linux distro [05:43] hi can anyone help me choose which i should download ubuntu desktop 64bit [05:43] memory stored on the hard drive when physical ram isu sed up [05:43] or the standard [05:43] @unavailable, and what is "swap" exactly? I'm sorry but I really don't know anything about Ubuntu [05:43] * unavailable wonders is swapoff session only [05:43] *'s technicalities [05:43] Tomk77_, usually standard is better [05:44] every other piece of hardware in the house is basically unchanged, ubuntu just doesn't seem to want to let me connect that PC to the network [05:44] dlozarie, virtual memory, see my messages above [05:44] so should I turn swap on again? [05:44] dlozarie do you see linux-swap [05:44] I have Dual Core Turon 64 x 2 TL 60 3GB Ram dmsuperman [05:44] yep [05:44] @unavailable, yes. [05:44] WindyCN: Can you simply ping the PC? [05:44] turn it on [05:44] negative [05:44] somehow my wireless card got disabled in Ubuntu , my function keys don't work and the bios says its enabled [05:44] okay, and then I can boot into installed Ubuntu then, right? [05:44] uep [05:44] it won't even get it's own IP [05:44] yep [05:45] when I give it a static one, it doesn't accept pings [05:45] WindyCN: What is providing DHCP? [05:45] router [05:45] @unavailable, yay! thank you so much for the help, unavailable. really 'preciate it, man. [05:45] Where would I go to re-enable my wifi card? [05:45] anytime [05:45] can anyone tell me if i should download ubuntu desktop 64 bit for these specs: AMD Turion 64 x 2 TL 60 3 GB of RAM [05:45] pesky extended partitions [05:45] WindyCN: Sounds like hardware issue, patch cable? bad port? [05:45] so imma reboot now and then grab some lunch while watching family guy. thank you guys for the help! [05:45] pesky recovery partitions are worse [05:45] the home network is setup like this, there's a main router and DHCP with a few wired and a few wireless connections, and a wire to a second router which accepts wired and wireless too [05:45] both routers currently have several people connected to them with wired and wireless [05:45] can anyone tell me if i should download ubuntu desktop 64 bit for these specs: AMD Turion 64 x 2 TL 60 3 GB of RAM [05:46] windycn the second router does not do dhcp? [05:46] My wlan0 dissapeared Where do I go to re-enable it? [05:46] I've tested all the cables on at least two other PCs (there's around 4 laptops in this house :P) [05:46] unavailable: no, it doesn't [05:46] after i install a package using "apt-get install package-name", what cmd do i use to see where all the files were installed? [05:46] ok [05:46] can anyone tell me if i should download ubuntu desktop 64 bit for these specs: AMD Turion 64 x 2 TL 60 3 GB of RAM [05:46] but I've tried hooking the PC into the first router directly via wired and it's still borked [05:46] nivya look in synaptic package manager [05:46] nivya just try to run the program and you will know if it is missing anything, that's one way to do it [05:47] can anyone tell me if i should download ubuntu desktop 64 bit for these specs: AMD Turion 64 x 2 TL 60 3 GB of RAM [05:47] nope [05:47] actually, the cable I used is a crossover cable, and yesterday one of the guys put a new RJ45 head on it [05:47] it will run on that system [05:47] My wlan0 dissapeared Where do I go to re-enable it? [05:47] works fine with the other PCs, but they're all windows, only idea I've got is that maybe linux dislikes this for some reason :/ [05:47] its preference of what ur lokking for [05:47] unavailable: I am looking for the cmd line equivalant for synaptic [05:47] but you wont find crap for software [05:47] but that still doesn't make sense... [05:48] everything (alomost) is working fine on my 64 bit ubuntu studio box [05:48] can anyone tell me if i should download ubuntu desktop 64 bit for these specs: AMD Turion 64 x 2 TL 60 3 GB of RAM [05:48] i even got flash running in firefox [05:48] the almost gets you every time [05:48] WindyCN: Sounds like that is the problem. Maybe you introduced another issue. [05:48] i downgraded cus of the limitations in software titles [05:48] Tomk77_ go for it [05:48] yeah, but like I said, I tested the cable with a few other PCs [05:48] and they had no problems [05:48] Is there anyone know how to capture a part of movie with MPlayer? [05:48] and this is the cable connecting router 1 and 2, so it's pretty much under constant use [05:48] WindyCN: Try simplifying the setup, try a known good card in just a LiveCD with a known good cable. [05:48] My wlan0 dissapeared Where do I go to re-enable it? Please anybody! [05:48] NetEcho, 64 bit? [05:49] Tomk77_ yea [05:49] WindyCN: Doesn't sound like a ubuntu specifc problem. [05:49] Please? [05:49] Tomk77_, stick with 32bit [05:49] yeah, but it's all I've got atm [05:49] Any differences with 32 or 64? [05:49] i heard 64bit uses ram more wisely [05:49] I'd swear myself stupid that the hardware's fine afaik [05:49] Is there a way of backing up things that I've installed? so for next installation I won't have to reinstall them? [05:49] oh well, lemme have a go [05:49] so thats where im asking if i should use 64 or 32 [05:49] NetEcho your hardware keys don't enable it? [05:49] tomk77_ unless you really need 64 bit computing i would stick with 32 bit. 32 bit apps are easier to find [05:49] Tomk77_: My 64 bit hardy has been running stable for quite some time - intel quad q6600 [05:50] Tomk77_: use 32 [05:50] "detlef@MD97600:/media/cdrom0$ LC_ALL=C sudo umount /media/cdrom0; umount: /media/cdrom0: device is busy." How can I eject my CD? [05:50] ooh, il go with 32bit then [05:50] Bhavesh they don't work in ubuntu from the looks of it [05:50] the question is not whether 64bit works, but whether you need 64bit [05:50] What's also better, ubuntu desktop or kubuntu? [05:50] afallenhope: just need backup the *.log [05:50] quick question: I always get a grub 22 error when booting if I have an external hard/flash drive plugged in, is there a way to fix this? [05:50] Tomk77_: I've found that there is a lot less support for 64bit still [05:50] oh there we go [05:50] bullgard4, use the -f option with umount to force an unmount...be sure it's not in use though [05:50] Bhavesh for some reason it wasn't refreshing after fn+f3 but after a reboot it seems to have worked [05:51] WindyCN: RTL8139 PCI card should work, do a lsmod and send it to a pastebin. [05:51] NetEcho well glad it is working [05:51] whats better, kubuntu or desktop ubuntu [05:51] yes, i guess i didnt need the liquid cooling either, but for some reason i did it anyway :) [05:51] Kelen: and where would that be [05:51] Bhavesh same here lol [05:51] I'm actually considering formating my laptop again and doing a 100% clean setup of everything [05:52] NetEcho a lot of time that's the best thing to do [05:52] has anyone had this problem where you get a grub error 22 when booting with an external hard/flash drive plugged in?

[06:14] dmsuperman my parents decided to "clean" my desk and threw out my 8.04 cd that I ordered [06:14] it says no pulseadio killed [06:14] switchcat: what do you use it for [06:14] NetEcho, download an ISO [06:14] for google talk why don't you try prism [06:14] can anyone tell me how i can use grub 2? (wth is grub 2 anyway) [06:14] dmsuperman no CD-Rs [06:14] unless it will work on a dvd-r [06:14] NetEcho, they're like 20 cents per blank [06:14] NetEcho, it may, you never know [06:14] dmsuperman its 1:15am [06:15] when I try to install some package ubuntu ask for me to put CD, and then go to installation.

[06:15] boris: the CD is still in your repository list. you need to edit. this can be done via synaptic [06:15] which is what I want to do again, but under linux [06:16] what is the command to convert a loopback drive to an actual partition? [06:16] axisys: gtalk is just a jabber client. So you can use any jabber client, including pidgin, yes. [06:16] i have 8.04LTS ? ISO [06:16] Flannel: it will do the talk ? [06:16] marpal, did you sudo killall pulseaudio ? Or did you try without sudo ? [06:16] Flannel: i thought just chat [06:17] are there any plans to move back away from pulseaudio in the future? [06:17] mike4263 loopback is not really a partition, it's way of mounting images ( ISO images) without burning them to a cd/dvd [06:17] did I sed thet I am on gutsy :) [06:17] axisys: the audio (actual "talking" part) is Jingle, which is an extension to XMPP. There are a number of clients that support it (pidgin isn't one).

[06:18] NetEcho, I believe when you start the disc it has a menu option to verify the install disk [06:18] LVPM will handle the main dir, but I still need to move my home dir [06:18] in terminal do md5sum /path/to/iso/nameofiso.iso === Tricia is now known as Oddish [06:18] and compare the result to the posted sum online [06:18] I used wubi. so I have three virtual drives - main, home, swap [06:18] dmsuperman I don't want to waste one of my last DVD-rs to find out the iso was corrupted [06:18] i think its mke2exts [06:18] NetEcho, wait until the morning.

I'm using the latest and when I load x on it it gives me a screwy screen and doesn't run on the nvidia driver.

[06:24] I should probably reboot and see if linux recognizes this cuecat at least as a usb device [06:24] marpal, some change in menus, pulse audio, flash usually blows in hardy [06:24] can you give me some list [06:24] guys! how can I make my windows drive auto mount? [06:24] Oddish, there's the livecd, and the alternate cd.

[06:37] Okay, so the cuecat lit up upon reboot and it's blinking like I believe it's supposed to... but I have no clue if linux is recognizing it as a device of any kind [06:37] lol ipods [06:37] <[GG]Crimson> Oh dear I fixed it [06:38] take chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic. Thanks. [06:38] hmm. what if I install iTunes on Ubuntu using Wine? [06:38] no [06:38] never [06:38] <[GG]Crimson> thanks though dmsuperman [06:38] too slow [06:38] [GG]Crimson, alright, "sudo chmod +x /home/crimson/Desktop/hldsupdatetool.bin" then run it [06:38] hmm. should we go to #ubuntu-offtopic. [06:38] anyone get wine 1.0 through hardy-backports? [06:38] hey guys will Wine still work without Windows installed? [06:38] !appdb | dlozarie see here if itunes works [06:38] dlozarie see here if itunes works: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [06:38] dlozarie, wine doesn't make use of windows at all [06:38] Ashex, you can get wine direct from their own repositories [06:38] <[GG]Crimson> yeah lol once I did cd ~/Desktop chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin worked [06:38] dlozarie, it provides a compatability layer for windows apps [06:39] Zoem, I know, but it should be in backports [06:39] unavailable, that fixed the clearweather screenlet from appearing but still my normal weather widget doesnt' show up [06:39] !wine > unavailable [06:39] dlozarie, yes, wine works fine without windows [06:39] @dmsuperman, oh, I see. I just figured 'coz it says "search C: drive". [06:39] I'm not seeing it, needed another person to check before I hit up the maintainer [06:39] dlozarie, but amaroK, gtk-pod, and others work with ipods. no need for itunes [06:39] okay say I downloaded the iTunes installer onto Ubuntu.. I just run the installer and wine does the rest? [06:39] siavash_ you have it on autostart? [06:39] hey i read on phoronix.com that the radeon 4850 already has linux support, anyone know if it just runs or can actually take advantage of the 3d desktop and what not? Trying to decide waht video card to buy [06:39] dlozarie, it means the wine c: drive...I think it's located at like ~/.wine/c/ something like that [06:39] dlozarie, it tricks apps into think there's a c: drive [06:39] ~/.wine/drive_c/ I believe [06:40] unavailable, of course! i wonder if there's something i can do in sessions [06:40] yeah that one [06:40] I have a file /etc/custom/.search_http. It contains one string per line such as "abc.def". What I am doing is locate $(cat /etc/custom/.search_http). Problem is that it returns results that like zxyabc.def and abc.defghi as well... [06:40] @dmsuperman, oh okay. turns out amarok doesn't support podcast subscriptions? googling online alternatives for podasts. [06:40] *podcasts [06:40] oh, hrm [06:40] so, I take it everyone just added wine repos instead of waiting for backports? [06:40] soavash_ maybe... [06:41] I avoid wine [06:41] Don't even have it installed atm [06:41] usually better to find an alternative [06:41] *shocked face* iTunes no worky in wine! [06:41] Ashex: WineHQ does a pretty good job of packaging, so yeah, I think most wine users do [06:41] dmsuperman, do you have backports? [06:41] rofl [06:41] yeah I can always find a linux alternative without wine [06:41] I just need someone to type apt-cache policy wine [06:41] if I use the entire harddrive with guided partitioning does Ubuntu setup a swapfile? [06:41] and tell me if the candidate says 1.0 or 0.9.59-0ubuntu5 [06:41] or swapspace [06:41] wine: [06:41] Installed: (none) [06:41] Candidate: 0.9.46-0ubuntu1 [06:41] Version table: [06:41] 0.9.46-0ubuntu1 0 [06:41] NetEcho: afaik, yes. [06:41] dmsuperman: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:42] 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy/universe Packages [06:42] netecho I think so [06:42] hi, I have an nvidia 9600gt and need to install the nvidia binary driver. when I run the installer, though, it does not seem to work. any suggestions? [06:42] good [06:42] !paste [06:42] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [06:42] NetEcho, yep [06:42] :( looks like Vista's gonna remain on my lappy. [06:42] but I dislike the auto partition scheme [06:42] NetEcho: swap partition I believe [06:42] xbj9000 why? [06:42] well, poo [06:42] plus one time I used banshee to manage my iPod music and it disarranged my album art. [06:42] netecho as I remember, it basically just splits the drive in half with half root and half /home [06:43] :o really? [06:43] wow [06:43] I don't think so.... [06:43] I usualy keep home on the same partition as everything else except swap [06:43] the new partitioner does all files in root, and then 2x ram for swap or something [06:43] netecho it should be fine, I'm not sure how it will try to partition you, but it may be worth learning about partition schemes [06:43] xbj9000 I'll just do manual [06:43] maybe 3x ram [06:44] netecho keeping /home and /usr in their own partitions is a good idea for backing up data and keeping your stuff separated [06:44] I usualy just do 4096 as a swapfile [06:44] my laptop has a 100gb drive, and 3gb is swap, the rest is root. 1gb of ram [06:44] whats a good size for the swap, I have 2gb of ram [06:44] 3x ram would be 12288 [06:44] netecho that's a lot of swap === tdoggette_ is now known as tdoggette [06:44] 512k swap ftw [06:44] mike4263: Do you plan on hibernating? [06:44] 3x ram?! [06:44] mike4263: 4gb, I'd say [06:44] from what I've been told, 2x ram, max 2gb [06:44] Flannel yes [06:44] hi, I have an nvidia 9600gt and need to install the nvidia binary driver. when I run the installer, though, it does not seem to work. any suggestions? [06:44] I've almost always used a 4gb swapfile [06:44] 3x ram?!? I need an 18gb swap? [06:45] mike4263: it used to be 2x ram + 25 mb (or so) [06:45] I don't really see any reason not to [06:45] I've never even maxed out my ram. my swap has literally never been used [06:45] mike4263: If you plan on hibernating, you need *at least* as much swap as RAM. 2x for you would be a bit much. So, I'd go like 2.5G or something [06:45] RAM size + 512MB is plenty [06:45] if you have more than 1GB ram, swap is not that important and you only need like 128mb [06:45] dmsuperman how much ram and what kind of system? [06:45] dmsuperman, I maxed it out once. calculating all primes less than 2 billion using a seive :) [06:45] NetEcho, a desktop system, 2gb [06:45] Zoem, heh [06:45] what kinda cpu/ram? [06:45] NetEcho, a power user desktop system though [06:46] NetEcho, 3.0 GHz E8400, OCZ DDR 2 800MHz ram [06:46] netecho I have 2GB and I almost never use even 2mb of the swap space [06:46] do you know if the Core Duo uses DDR2 or DDR1? [06:46] ... [06:46] does anyone knows how to accelerate internet access on a small network? [06:46] oh wait its this PC that has 4gb of ram [06:46] I think the laptop only has 1 [06:46] Core Duo is a processor, DDR1/2 is ram [06:46] dmsuperman but the boards require a certain type [06:47] ikasa4, stop using internet on the other computers? [06:47] NetEcho, so it's up to the board, no the processor [06:47] netecho if you have 1gb ram I would only make about 512mb swap [06:47] I forget if it was as of the Core Duo or the Core 2 that intel switched to DDR2 [06:47] NetEcho, I would imagine most boards use DDR2, and now DDR3 [06:47] Sun Jun 22 02:47:20 ADT 2008 [06:47] :heard a 4GB-of-ram PC being mentioned, is drooling [06:47] I wouldn't do more than 1gb [06:47] NetEcho, but it's really up to the board [06:47] what does its mean? [06:47] dlozarie, any more than 2gb is a waste unless you have special needs [06:47] xbj9000, what if you want to hibernate? [06:47] altho on 1.5 GB of RAM, Ubuntu works spanking fine. great boot times. [06:47] dmsuperman whichever CPU started the DDR2 switchover I've only seen like 1 board that can do DDR1 [06:47] zoem, what do you mean? [06:48] NetEcho, it was pretty much the whole intel dual core movement that came about the same time as DDR2 [06:48] @dmsuperman, agreed. But wouldn't 4GB of ram make your 'puter boot in like three seconds? [06:48] I'm sorry he did say it was a laptop, didn't he [06:48] NetEcho, there are still boards today that use DDR1 [06:48] dlozarie, no, that's hard drive [06:48] dlozarie yea 4gb on this system here :D [06:48] why hello there i are here :) [06:48] but I believe to hibernate you still only need 1x your ram [06:48] dlozarie, faster hard drives make the system boot faster. Once you get past 512/1gb of ram, your system doesn't boot any faster really [06:48] ikasa4, your internet speed will be determined by how much you pay for, how much is being used in your neighborhood, and how much is being used on your line [06:48] dlozarie and no that much ram just helps with my gaming [06:49] ikasa4, you only have control over the last one right now, so cut down usage on other computers [06:49] NetEcho, again, unless you have special needs (and gaming _isn't_ one of them) +2gb of ram is just unnecesary [06:49] io-apic?? anyone know the fix? [06:49] 3d rendering could use it [06:49] hi, I have an nvidia 9600gt and need to install the nvidia binary driver. when I run the installer, though, it does not seem to work. any suggestions? [06:49] ooooooohhhh i see [06:49] i have yet to find a game that honestly truly uses that much ram [06:49] thanks [06:49] dmsuperman with some games more then 2gb makes a huge difference [06:49] PS on a VM eats your ram! [06:49] NetEcho, such as what [06:50] ikasa4, no problem;) [06:50] xp on a vm [06:50] hello [06:50] can you change the size of your swap? [06:50] off the top of my head Company of Heroes is one of them [06:50] siavash_-> yes, you can add [06:50] I know most of them over 2gb doesn't make a difference [06:50] unavailable, I have XP running in a VM, plus all my other apps on my desktop, and i've never come close to using 2gb [06:50] siavash_: you can add/remove/whatever to your swap, yep. [06:50] hmmm. I don't game so much anymore. Just a little GIMPing and then blogging and then plurking. [06:50] but with 4gb I just make XP use ram for the kernel while using the pagefile for everything else [06:50] lol [06:50] hmm. let me try something out. [06:51] !ot | dlozarie [06:51] i got 512 :( [06:51] plus a 4gb kit only cost me like $50 [06:51] doh! what the heck? [06:51] NetEcho, that's foolish, the pagefile serves no point if you have that much ram [06:51] Flannel: through parted? [06:51] NetEcho, all you're doing is slowing things down like that, and grinding your drives [06:51] dmsuperman actually its a flaw of windows if you disable the pagefile it gets crappy [06:51] and i can only go up to 2gb [06:51] and the pagefile is on its own drive anyway [06:51] NetEcho, I've never had pagefile enabled and it runs great [06:51] unless they make a pair go to 4 [06:51] NetEcho-> are you using 64bit? [06:51] siavash_: If you want a swap partition, yeah, you'll need to change your partitioning. If you just want a swap file, you can doo that too. [06:51] okay, another question: if you run Ubuntu and Ubuntu only on your 'puter, will your hard drive ever crash? [06:52] !swap | siavash_ [06:52] siavash_: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [06:52] NetEcho, and again, hard drive is many times slower than ram [06:52] dmsuperman microsoft has even admited to the pagefile issues [06:52] netecho, unless it is a laptop and you plan to hibernate it, you need very little swap for that much ram, and in fact you can skip swap entirely [06:52] dlozarie, of course. hard drive failure has nothing to do with OS [06:52] xbj9000 1gb of ram on the laptop [06:52] dlozarie-> yes its a possibility, nothing is impossible [06:52] NetEcho, like I said, I've never enabled pagefile on any machine and it's never had issues [06:52] dlozarie depends on many factors, if you drop the pc out the window, chances are the hdd will crash [06:52] @dmsuperman, oh, okay! [06:52] @unavailable, of course it'll crash. lol [06:52] dmsuperman it can cause a lot of application issues [06:52] dlozarie, it's not "if" a drive will crash, it's when [06:52] Flannel, i just want to increase the swap size to reflect the extra ram i put in recently [06:52] Swap is always useful [06:52] I've had plenty of issues doing that [06:53] as for my HDDs I've never had one die on me in 12 years [06:53] but on Ubuntu you don't have to do all the crazy sh** Windows Users have to do like defrag, etc. right? [06:53] parkerc, it's useful if you don't have enough ram, but when you have 4gb swap is pointless [06:53] netecho I believe you only need 1x ram for hibernate, and any other time you actually want to try to avoid using swap because it's slower, so I would go with maybe just a few MB more swap than ram [06:53] siavash_: Yeah, liveCD, and just expand the parititon. You won't need to change your fstab (unless you change which partition it is) [06:53] I have an nvidia 9600gt and need to install the nvidia binary driver. when I run the installer, though, it does not seem to work. any suggestions? [06:53] netecho youve never had a mad wife then [06:53] hello ,i am new to ubuntu ,what is equivalent to alsaconf ? [06:53] !ext3 | dlozarie [06:53] dlozarie: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [06:53] I usualy buy a new one to get rid of the old one because its too small [06:53] NetEcho-> you never owned ibm deskstar hd? hehe [06:53] dlozarie, also, irrelevant pertaining to OS. that's the filesystem [06:53] xbj9000 1048 then? [06:54] dlozarie, iirc, ext3 may still get fragmented just like ntfs [06:54] xbj9000, I have a lot of ram, and I always manage to find my swap space useful [06:54] netecho that doesnt protect against a wife with the rage and boots on.... [06:54] amenado I buy quality HDDs lol [06:54] ah, I see. so how do I defrag then? :D [06:54] how do I play real player files on ubuntu?> [06:54] unavailable my women aren't allowed near this puppy [06:54] lol [06:54] dlozarie, not sure, tbh, never needed to haha [06:54] dlozarie: ext3 doesn't need defragging [06:54] dlozarie, ext3 needs no defrag [06:54] they know I'd shoot them if they layed a finger on it [06:54] hi, I have more than 1 ubuntu as different os s on my lt [06:54] then there you have it, i was wrong :D [06:54] yeah netecho [06:54] after booting 1 of them, the other one, has problems with sound [06:54] NetEcho, please take chat elsewhere [06:55] i ahve two soud cards and i want ubuntu to use particular one,like i do alsaconf in suse ? [06:55] parkerc, that may depend on what you do, I copy DVDs and still no swap usage really [06:55] hi [06:55] * unavailable updating to backports :s [06:55] s/ahve/have [06:55] even removing with --purge and installing again doesn't work [06:55] bazhang sorry it was a hybrid chat between ubuntu swapfile and other things [06:55] any idea? [06:55] back on topic it is [06:55] NetEcho, thanks [06:55] no problem [06:55] in any case, 1gb swap should be plenty for just about anyone, netecho [06:55] i think we deserve cake [06:55] woi [06:55] xbj9000 I'll try the 1048 out and see if it causes any issues for me [06:56] bazhang, yay! no defragging! woohoo. imma back up my system then upload the backup to a-drive now. [06:56] dlozarie, :D [06:56] * unavailable finds yet another kernel out [06:56] netecho you can also split that into several small swap spaces on different drives for greater speed [06:56] but one nice thing is I got the 7200rpm drive for the lappy instead of the 5400(not sure of actual speed) drive [06:56] @dmsuperman, right back atcha -> :D [06:56] lol [06:56] xbj9000 only got 1 hdd in the laptop [06:56] i am looking for a irc client for ubuntu 8.04, any opinions? [06:56] I wish it had room for multiple lol [06:56] what does it mean when iubuntu goes back to the login screen? [06:56] userone: irssi. [06:56] userone, what are you using now? [06:57] userone: screen + irssi = epic win. [06:57] userone, irssi, XChat [06:57] userone i use chatzilla frm mozilla [06:57] oh right, well splitting into various partitions is also something to consider [06:57] userone I like xchat for the various scripting languages it supports [06:57] userone, or chatzilla...*coughs* [06:57] I am using nothing, cause nothing works. [06:57] userone, ... [06:57] lol [06:57] haha [06:57] i just open a terminal [06:57] i memorized the irc protocol [06:57] i have a socket opened to the server [06:57] xbj9000 that probably wouldn't make a difference because it would still be spinning the same drive [06:57] *backing up Ubuntu; screw Windows install* [06:57] !offtopic [06:57] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [06:58] *will stop with the off-topic messages. [06:58] what does it mean when iubuntu goes back to the login screen? [06:58] * dmsuperman will never stop...crap it's bed time [06:58] dlozarie: Not you, dmsuperman [06:58] with what piece of linux software could you program such a thing as an alarm for a pixel changing colour on your screen? [06:58] installed xchat on 8.04 but fail to connect. [06:58] Flannel, oh. lol [06:58] bye guys [06:58] hi [06:58] netecho the physical location of swap on the platter can make a difference, I usually have one swap area near the middle of the partition table and one at the end, so the heads are likely to be close to some swap at any given moment [06:58] I hate how simple backup doesn't provide you an option to stop an ongoing backup. [06:58] also tried mirc on xp an faild too. [06:59] xbj9000 however since in september when I return to work I should be getting a new laptop I don't see any reason to leave a windows partition on this one now [06:59] any indonesian here? [06:59] dlozarie, hint: I just tar the whole filesytem, except certain folders [06:59] how do I play realmedia files on ubuntu? [06:59] userone, try again, the server it targeted prolly just wasnt happy [06:59] are you bored [06:59] i am using xchat on 6.04 now and it works. [06:59] any indonesian here ? [06:59] xbj9000 what about sda1 = swap sda2 = root sda3 = swap? === dmsuperman is now known as [dmsuperman] [06:59] !id | ayok [06:59] ayok: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia === four-o-four|dead is now known as four-o-four [06:59] I have a problem the computer that runs Ubuntu 7.04 but when i try to install Ubuntu 8.04 it stops at a Busybox 1.1.3 window ... the computer is a dell poweredge 2400 with 733mhz CPU with 1gig ram [06:59] * unavailable must restart, and thinks its a good time to head to bed as well [06:59] dmsuperman, yeah I've set some parameters for the backup, like exclude /media and some /var directories. [06:59] nixternal: what's your presentation tomorrow? [07:00] !ask | mock [07:00] mock: 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. :-) [07:00] xbj9000 and do like 518 on each partition? [07:00] netecho do whatever feels right, you're not likely to notice a difference [07:00] how to install .so file? [07:00] k if its not gonna make a big difference then I'll leave it [07:00] how to install .so file? [07:00] netecho just put it near the middle [07:00] does ubuntu operate best on ext3? [07:00] still_here: you copy it in proper place. That's all. [07:00] NetEcho, yes [07:01] so [07:01] ok [07:01] netecho I use ext3 but many recommend reiserfs for system partitions [07:01] well I've heard that for other distros [07:01] hi stars [07:01] cabrioleur: so how can i execute it? [07:01] I usualy use ext3 as well [07:01] mock this is support channel; please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [07:01] I use ext3 simply because it seems to be the most common and trusted [07:01] NetEcho: ext3 is a great default/generic filesystem. There are others that perform better under certain tasks though. [07:01] still_here: you don't. It's a library. It might be required for certain software, and that's all it can do. [07:02] there is talk about ext4 isn't there? === charles is now known as freescroll [07:02] I think so but I never hear it [07:02] wiki has a page on it [07:02] I have an nvidia 9600gt and need to install the nvidia binary driver. when I run the installer, though, it does not seem to work. any suggestions? [07:02] hopefully it'll be released soon [07:02] NetEcho: ext4 is just the next version of ext3, which is the successor of ext2, etc. It's not stable yet [07:02] yea [07:03] can someone help me share a folder ? [07:03] hello i have upgraded to ubuntu 8.04 and now it accesses my hard disk extremly even if i do nothing [07:03] Zoem: do you mean installer from nvidia.com? [07:03] anyone have a problem with pidgin slowing down the system after a few hours? [07:03] I won't use a new file system until at least 2 years after it's release lol [07:03] cabrioleur, yes [07:03] cabrioleur not here [07:04] cabrioleur: thanks [07:04] how can i sare a folder, is there a line command for it? [07:04] freescroll maybe, are you trying to share with other users on your machine? [07:04] Zoem: you know it's recommended to use ubuntu tool for that, or synaptic. But make sure you are not in a graphical interface. Do you have any errors? [07:04] what tools should i use for testing efficiency of a web application .anyone could help ? [07:04] how can i tell what keyboard layout my terminal has given me? [07:04] freescroll, using samba or nfs (windows--linux or linux--linux) [07:04] xbj: I'm trying to share over a windows network [07:04] i was ejected from ubuntu to the login screen, what does that mean? [07:05] i want to access ubuntu via vista [07:05] freescroll right click the folder and go to sharing options [07:05] freescroll sorry I don't know how [07:05] netecho: i dont have permission [07:05] <[dmsuperman]> freescroll, in your shared folders dialog, share it using samba [07:05] freescroll, best to ask about vista in ##windows [07:05] freescroll: do sudo nautilus and navigate to the folder [07:05] then try [07:05] netecho: and i've tried sudo nautilus and i can share, but it doesnt stay shared [07:05] I had the same issue freescroll [07:05] cabrioleur, is there an ubuntu tool which installs the nvidia 173.08 or higher drivers? and there are no errors, when I restart x afterwards, the screen refresh rate is wrong and the failsafe dialog pops up [07:05] <[dmsuperman]> freescroll, share the folder, then in windows do \\YOURIP and it'll list the folder you shared [07:05] freescroll odd it did for me [07:05] hey all just wondering, if i were to use the backports repository, does that mean it's not possible to upgrade when the next major ubuntu version (intrepid) is released? or will the packages be okay? [07:06] netecho: odd? [07:06] <[dmsuperman]> Zoem, repos have 169.12 still, i had to download 173.08 (and it's now 173.14) [07:06] Hi all I am using Ubuntu 8.04, running it on Compaq Presario v322AU notebook. Everything works except my Built in Wireless card. Here is the Screenshoot of my Hardware Drivers: http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/2055/broadcompd1.png [07:06] no way to upgrade from 7.04 to 8.04? [07:06] [dmsuperman], check again... 177 released on the 17th [07:06] How can I get the latest driver of this Card for Ubuntu? [07:06] my root terminal is giving me some weird layout wear all leters are normal but the "/" / "?" key is a accented e, and i cant find the / key [07:06] help! [07:06] [dmsuperman], but 169 does not support 9600gt [07:06] <[dmsuperman]> Zoem, last night the latest they gave me was 173.14 [07:06] rsa_md5: Sure there is. Just have to upgrade 7.04 to 7.10, then 7.10 to 8.04 [07:07] NetEcho: what's odd? [07:07] freescroll the fact that it keeps unsharing [07:07] bluefoxx are your keys normal outside of terminal? [07:07] netecho yeah, i'm going nuts [07:07] Flannel, actually wanted to know if there is anything else I could do without that :D [07:07] Zoem, did you do nvidia-xconfig? [07:07] freescroll can you share a folder off vista and just copy files to it from ubuntu? [07:07] hallouwoooooo [07:07] xbj9000; cant get out of it, its why i need the / key: to burn a new 8.04 disk in wodim [07:07] netecho, no [07:07] that may be your only option until a fix is found [07:07] rsa_md5: Not with an upgrade path, no. You could just install Hardy. But thats not nearly as convienent [07:08] <[dmsuperman]> cabrioleur, 169.12 doesn't support it [07:08] anyway I'll be back shortly [07:08] @NetEcho, I don't know about you but I can access my Vista folders from within Ubuntu easily. [07:08] dlozarie I don't use vista so I wouldn't know [07:08] cabrioleur, that tends to load the xorg.conf with really bad stuff (I have it working on another comp). I manually changed the xorg.conf driver to "nvidia" [07:08] bluefoxx, you can't login to a desktop environment? [07:08] ok, / is on top of the 3 key, and # is on the ` key [07:08] Broadcom B43 Wireless Driver for Ubuntu 8.04? [07:08] under XP it works fine [07:08] bluefoxx: Why do you need your / key? (tab complete should help a little) [07:08] How can I get apt to stop bitching about sun-java6-doc? === HttpError is now known as |404NotFound| [07:08] xbj9000; nope. my graphics driver is fucked [07:08] oop [07:08] sorry everyone [07:08] lol [07:09] <[dmsuperman]> !ohmy | tdoggette [07:09] tdoggette: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [07:09] How can I get apt to stop asking about sun-java6-doc? [07:09] WindowsSux try going to System > Administration (or maybe Preferences) > hardware [07:09] Netecho: i can share a folder under sudo nautilus, but when i exit that nautilus app, back as my user, it's unshared, it's only ever shared in that sudo nautilus === |404NotFound| is now known as |414TooLong| [07:09] Flannel; i need it to even start to find the dir [07:09] hmmm... [07:09] Zoem: if there is an error, it will be somewhere in your log. Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log [07:09] bluefoxx it may be the setting in /etc/fstab for keyboard, it should be pc104 (assuming you are in the US) [07:09] what evil layout is it anywyas??... [07:09] freescroll make sure you create the folder as the user not as sudo [07:09] cabrioleur, thank you, will do [07:09] NetEcho -- and then? i already get this: http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/2055/broadcompd1.png [07:09] bluefoxx: No, tab complete should put the slashes in for you [07:09] xbj9000; ah... it keeps going to "pc105key" [07:09] netecho, yeah i did... [07:09] WindowsSux install the restricted driver? [07:10] Zoem: you can change your graphical setup with nvidia-settings (if the drivers are loaded properly) [07:10] bluefoxx: but even then, you can always manuever one directory at a time without a slash [07:10] WindowsSux you see that little box that says enabled... put a checkmark [07:10] NetEcho - it works that way however ...every time..I reboot..i need to do that...or else it doesnt work [07:10] Flannel; yea, but i hit tab and it beeps, i hit again and it asks to list all 350 possible [07:10] any good alternatives to irssi and xchat? [07:10] cabrioleur, usually the nvidia splash screen shows up if the drivers are loaded, and I have yet to see it [07:10] freescroll weird [07:10] Ayabara, depends on your needs. I perfer xchat even under windows. :) [07:10] bluefoxx I said /etc/fstab lol I meant /etc/X11/xorg.conf [07:10] <[dmsuperman]> Ayabara, honestly, if you can't find what you're looking for in them I have no idea what you want [07:10] bluefoxx: You'd have to type cd and then start typing a directory, of course. [07:10] :p [07:11] <[dmsuperman]> Ayabara, agree with Dr_Willis, XChat is amazing and irssi is also quite good [07:11] any more parmanent solution which will keep the settings [07:11] hi [07:11] Problem with Xchat, is that over the years. they have been taking more and more features out of it. [07:11] NetEcho: http://pastebin.org/45292 [07:11] this is what i get when i exit sudo nautilus screen [07:11] does ubuntu 8.04 support gefroce 7600gs without any lines on X? [07:12] <[dmsuperman]> freescroll, you should do gksu nautilus, not sudo [07:12] freescroll: You should always use gksu with graphical programs [07:12] Running nautilus as root is not a good idea. :) you can easially goof things up. [07:12] Zoem: you can check it with glxinfo | grep 'server glx vendor' [07:12] bluefoxx /etc/X11/xorg.conf is also probably where you'll fix your graphics, and probably whatever happened to change the keyboard type is also what broke the driver [07:12] anyone? [07:13] cabrioleur, one second please [07:13] I have conky on startup and everytime I restart I need to killall conky and open it again for it to show weather... what could be wrong [07:13] should I install AbiWord? didn't like it that much when I used it in Vista. [07:13] <[dmsuperman]> openoffice.org ftw [07:13] Dr_Willis, [dmsuperman]: I hear you :-). I actually like irssi best, but I use xchat because I haven't found a way that irssi can notify me about new messages like the xchat icon in the tray does. osd.pl does it when I'm at my computer, but I also want it to show if someone said something while I was afk [07:13] WindowsSux, dependng on the exact chipset of your sireless card. theres several forum/wiki articals on the topic. [07:13] flannel, dmsuperman... thanks [07:14] <[dmsuperman]> Ayabara, I know what you mean...I've always wanted a way to see if somebody called my name. I've resorted to logging chats in xchat, with a grep for my name nightly deleting all unimportant lines [07:14] Mo0oSaH, I had problems like that with conky... I started using the sysinfo screenlet and it worked a lot better === [dmsuperman] is now known as dmsuperman [07:15] netecho how did you end up partitioning that drive? [07:15] Zoem: screenlet eh? lemme go google it up [07:15] Dr_willis - can you point me to some? [07:15] Ayabara: http://pthree.org/2007/03/21/irssi-gui-notify/ and http://pthree.org/2007/03/22/irssi-gui-notify-the-bash-script/ [07:15] openoffice.org is the way to go, but I read something on lifehacker was it that openoffice is getting slower and slower with every release? [07:15] dmsuperman: You know irssi does that (almost) by default, right? [07:15] Flannel, got a handy url for xchat? :D [07:16] WindowsSux, go to the ubuntu forums and search for the exact chipset. I had to use the ndiswrapper stuff for my broadcomn 4310 card. [07:16] Flannel, I prefer XChat :D [07:16] Mo0oSaH, www.screenlets.org [07:16] dmsuperman: Nah, I just remember reading those posts on the planet. Xchat what, GUI notifications? [07:16] xchat.org for all your xchat needs :) [07:16] Flannel, yeah. notifications are when it tells me somebody mentions my name right [07:16] hi, can anyone help me with sign/encrypt files? [07:17] diyes: sure [07:17] Dr_Willis, I looked, I either didn't find it or didn't know what I was looking for [07:17] when i use totem movie player the video becomes pixilated , how do i fix this [07:17] dmsuperman I have xchat and it blinks when someone says my name [07:17] Flannel, I just want a way that when I'm gone I can come back and see what somebody wrote using my name [07:17] diyes whats the problem i use seahorse [07:17] can you sign/encrpyt folders? [07:17] xbj9000, me too, but if I'm gone there's no way of knowing what they said since I come back and the message has long since scrolled past the page [07:17] Dr_willis - can you point me to some? [07:17] Dr_willis - I am using broadcom B43 - my notebook is - Compaq Presario V3222AU [07:17] dmsuperman, not sure what you are looking for exactly. [07:18] oh the cutoff limit, right [07:18] Is there anyone out there that can help me with my SSH problem? [07:18] yes you can, diyes, what version of ubuntu are you using [07:18] WindowsSux, broadcom43 is not the EXACT chipset, look at the 'lspci' command output. [07:18] Zoem: their website = down :( [07:18] diyes, yes in a way you can but ubuntu compresses them into an archive and then signs/encrypts the archive [07:18] Dr_Willis, a way for xchat to tell me whenever somebody mentions my name, in another window. currently, it highlights the sentence in red, but if i leave and come back i never get to see what they said [07:18] diyes: no, but you can create a tar or something like it, and encrypt that. [07:19] xboxman, state the prblem with ssh [07:19] Flannel, thanks. [07:19] when i use totem movie player the video becomes pixilated , how do i fix this [07:19] WindowsSux: http://penkin.wordpress.com/2008/03/28/ubuntu-804-broadcom-wireless/ [07:19] hardy h. but if i click on encrpyt, i don't see any items on my list. do i need to install something first? [07:19] i can connect with local ip but not with external ip [07:19] you need to generate your key first [07:19] oh, iTunes *does* work with Wine. [07:19] have you created a key diyes [07:19] ahah how does one go about doing that >< [07:19] so does limewire, lol. [07:19] dmsuperman, theres proberly some scripts that do that. given how scriptable it is.. I recall seeing some that put all msg, and lines with your nick in them, in their own window. But i never used it. [07:19] dlozarie, don't turn to the dark side! [07:19] lol limewire [07:19] what needs to be set in xorg.conf to get tv out working? Displays the boot info to the tv then as soon as ubuntu loads it dies. ATI X1250 running the latest drivers. [07:19] i think i did. i removed it again when i noticed i didn't work [07:20] let me create one again [07:20] Dr_Willis, that's what I want, but I couldn't find one [07:20] you need to open ports on your router if you have one or firewall xboxman [07:20] dlozarie try Frostwire for Linux, and gtk-gnutella [07:20] ick hour 3 of fixing windows [07:20] diyes: you _have_ to make pack it in a tar. [07:20] lol although to be perfectly honest, a sizeable number of people I know use limewire to download music, just because it's so hard to buy music online here. [07:20] diyes: or other format of your choice. [07:20] i opened the required ports (22), my webhost works on another computer so im pretty sure its not a router problem [07:20] can I get frostwire with add/remove applications? [07:20] I have xchat/deluge and irssi/rtorrent days, depending on how gui-ish I feel :-) [07:20] any one here used a Eee PC? [07:21] terrancekennedy: yes [07:21] do you use firewall xboxman [07:21] dlozarie I don't think so but they have an ubuntu .deb package on their site [07:21] no, i turned off all firewalls and stuff [07:21] Hi, some of my apps wont run because they complain that they cannot connect to my dbus session, however they run fine if run with sudo, why? [07:21] Chapai: sorry i'm new here. so when you say key, is it the same as Keyring [07:21] xboxman, try port probing 22, make sure it's open [07:21] @xbj9000, okay. www.frostwire.com right? [07:21] i even DMZ'ed my ubuntu computer just to try to work it [07:21] audacity looks cool. [07:21] xboxman, your isp could block encrypted traffic, or port 22 [07:21] you can get gtk-gnutella with Synaptic though [07:21] xboxman, do you, by chance, have comcast? [07:21] Mo0oSaH, oh. thats where I got it from :( [07:22] do you know of a good setup guide for a Eee PC? [07:22] no [07:22] i have Shaw Communications (Canada) [07:22] they allow HTTP host so maybe they allow ssh? [07:22] no, you need to create a pgp key, click application, accessories passwords and encryption keys diyes [07:22] dlozarie I think that's the site yeah [07:22] terrancekennedy: look at the ubuntu eeepc wiki [07:22] I wonder if nautilus will support tabs / split view at some point [07:22] cabrioleur, failed to initialize GLX extension (compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) [07:22] @xbj9000, kthx. [07:22] Zoem: thanks for the link. I'll check it out later [07:22] Ayabara: it is planned [07:22] cabrioleur, it seems the driver is just not being installed for some reason [07:22] anybody knows a good debugger? [07:22] terrancekennedy: Go to eepcuser [07:22] yay! .deb! [07:23] dlozarie I encourage you to not get in the habit of turning to windows apps in wine, you can almost always find a better app for linux [07:23] hey all just wondering, if i were to use the backports repository, does that mean it's not possible to upgrade when the next major ubuntu version (intrepid) is released? or will the packages be okay? [07:23] diyes, keyring is a password management, when you open that app (seahorse) klick key an create new key [07:23] Ayabara, just use another file manager, there's tons in existence [07:23] Neil3: Backports work fine with upgrades [07:23] Flannel, fantastic :D [07:23] Zoem: kernel driver? Try "sudo lsmod | nvidia" to see if it's loaded. [07:23] @xbj9000, that's why there's frostwire. lol ;) [07:24] I need to track down a decent 'photo printer' app however under linux. One that willlet the wife easially select a few pics and tell it 'print me 3, 3x5's laid out properly on the paper' [07:24] yeah I've been looking at equivilent apps in linux that either resemble or are the same app but for linux instead [07:24] yeah I'll only be using wine if I find that there is no absolute alternative to it. [07:24] Okay, i probed my SSH port and it says its open [07:24] dmsuperman, I use krusader and gnome-commander. I want to use a gnomebased one, and I want it to look better than gnome-commander :-) [07:24] Theres dozens of the silly things out for windows.. but normally bundled with specific printers/scanner/other hardware. [07:24] dlozarie I happen to have a Tango / Gnome theme for Frostwire if you want it [07:24] Dr_Willis: what were you using before? [07:24] this means i can get the latest wine installed on my parent's machine as i just converted them from the world of billy boy gates but my dad still needs to run a couple of specialist astronomical windows apps [07:24] Neil3: However often times you don't want to leave backports enabled all the time, just enable it, install/upgrade a package, then disable it again. So something random doesn't sneak in without you being aware of it [07:24] cabrioleur, it's not there [07:24] xboxman, did you probe it from another ip, external to yours? [07:24] What is the best file manger for linux something as powerful as directory opus? [07:24] yes [07:24] Zoem: sudo modprobe nvidia [07:24] @xbj9000, gimme gimme! :D [07:25] ronin12345: have a look at pcmanfm [07:25] Neil3: You may want to use the winehq repository for wine. They do a pretty good job of it, and it'll be very much more up to date than the backports version [07:25] Zoem: then log out and log in again. Should be o.k. [07:25] Ziroday, differnt apps under windows On the wifes laptop, mainly. [07:25] Ayabara, I know what you mean. I don't much care for nautilus (slow, lacking features) but I haven't found a good alternative that both looks somewhat attractive like the rest of my desktop and has good features [07:25] Flannel, backports just got 1.0 too [07:25] ziroday: okey will do [07:25] Ziroday, her printer even has a little lcd, and can do some of the tasks.. but each app has its own features she dosent like :) [07:25] Ayabara, I tried most of the major ones...thunar was my favorite but still not good enough [07:25] diyes, getting any where? [07:25] Dr_Willis: you can try digikam, fspot or even picasa [07:25] and 1.0 runs these apps pretty well now, better than .59 [07:25] dlozarie http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=805337 [07:26] Yea been checking out picasa, i was thinking it was lacking somehting she liked in printing. [07:26] dlozarie please comment in that thread if you like the theme, it took me hours :p [07:26] dmsuperman, total commander and media player classic are the only apps I miss from my windows-years [07:26] Flannel, I feel a lot better just sticking with the official ubuntu stuff if you know what i mean [07:26] xbj9000, okay. thanks! :D [07:26] she just wants to 'see' the layout of the paper, and drag/drop photos to it - I think she3s been using something from MS for it. [07:26] My mouse, on a very old version of kubuntu, has stopped doing anything useful with left and right clicks. I can still move my mouse pointer (in the virt terminal that has X active) but not click on anything. What if anything can I do short of rebooting, or at least logging in / out? [07:26] chapai, i did it. so keyring is supposed to be different, i see. :) [07:26] cabrioleur, Error running install command for nvidia. [07:27] Dr_Willis: ah for something like that then I'm not sure [07:27] Ayabara, I was always a VLC guy, so since it's linux as well I don't miss it, and I never used total commander [07:27] Ayabara, and by the time I heard about it, everything else was skinned and i was turned off by the (from waht I saw) ugly screenshots :P [07:27] xbj9000, after i download the .skin file I just execute it? [07:28] dmsuperman, :-) [07:28] Ziroday, yea - every printer maker, seems to have their own app to promote my wife to print MORE and MORE things.. so they can sell her more and more ink. :) [07:28] Dr_Willis: lol [07:28] so can you encrypt now diyes [07:28] cabrioleur, lsmod says /sbin/lrm-video: not found [07:28] not specifically an Ubuntu issue .. can anyone help with an iptable issue or direct me to an iptable firum ? [07:28] weird, frostwire refuses to open. [07:28] Picasa has exactly 6 'photo' printout layouts.. [07:28] firum = forum [07:28] she wants for exaple tobe able to pick a picture and print a 4x6, then as many wallets as will fit on the rest of the paper. [07:28] dlozarie, move it into /home/username/.frostwire/themes/ [07:28] cabrioleur, sorry, modprobe says that [07:29] then it will show up in the Frostwire menus [07:29] Ayabara, testing...say my name please [07:29] @xjb9000, okay. just have to get frostwire to start now. lol [07:29] Hi, some of my apps wont run because they complain that they cannot connect to my dbus session, however they run fine if run with sudo, why? [07:29] chapai, i was trying to put a password for a directory so that when one accesses this directory he has to type in a password before he can enter. i thought "sign" could do that. is there any other way? [07:29] or anybody...somebody say my name if you wouldn't mind :D [07:29] dmsuperman :) [07:29] dmsuperman [07:29] Dr_Willis: try searching the repos or try the programs I gave you beofer [07:30] Ziroday, yea. Picasa would be great if it had more printing options. [07:30] dmsuperman: [07:30] dmsuperman, [07:30] odd [07:30] that one gives me an icon in the systray [07:30] but no window [07:30] gotta try another... [07:30] too late :-) [07:30] !find fspot [07:30] File fspot found in elisa-plugins-bad, elisa-plugins-good, f-spot [07:31] hey, how come I can't find no /home/usr/.frostwire directory? [07:31] dlozarie, its /home/YOURUSERNAME/ [07:31] eep, how do i make keys for my SSH? [07:32] @Dr_Willis, yes: /home/my_username. :) [07:32] k, once more would somebody mind saying my name :D [07:32] dmsuperman, [07:32] thanks :D [07:32] can anyone assist with iptable rule configuration and to block a specific internal machine from specific external site [07:32] dmsupermaan! :D [07:32] dlozarie did you find it? [07:32] dlozarie, frostwire is very picky about the java version it runs with. Try it fromthe terminal and look for error messages also. [07:32] gnight guys [07:32] Dr_Willis, what command should I type in? === dmsuperman is now known as [dmsuperman] [07:33] dmsuperman, nytie. [07:33] What can I use for ubuntu that compares to 3dstudio? [07:33] dlozarie, i would guess frost :) for a start [07:33] unable to locate java. I see, I need to install java. lol [07:33] sorry dlozarie I stepped away [07:34] here I can tell you what you need to do hang on [07:34] iz okay, i found the problem, I need Java installed. [07:34] Frostwire sux for linux. gtk-gnutella is much better. [07:34] Sa[i]nT: blender [07:34] how can I install a mac bar? [07:34] dlozarie type this in a terminal: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre [07:34] n-iCe, get awn [07:35] dlozarie: then after that, sudo update-alternatives --config java [07:35] Sa[i]nT, ok [07:35] dlozarie: and type the number that goes with the sun version of java [07:36] Flannel, is there a script that will do what you mentioned for irssi? take all the lines where someone mention my name and put it in an own "window"? [07:36] Sa[i]nT, awn-manager is ok? [07:36] xbj9000, okay. turns out I gotta wait ~12 mins for Java to download. says on the java website that the latest vsion is java 6 update 6. [07:36] you're getting it from their website? [07:36] n-iCe, I think that is same thing. Sure to have it in synaptic [07:36] xbj9000, nope, I'm using the terminal command you provided. [07:37] ok good [07:37] Sa[i]nT, yeah, how do I open it? [07:37] n-iCe, You using gnome? [07:37] Ayabara: Well, they'll show up in the server window, yeah. [07:37] dlozarie are you running 64bit Ubuntu by any chance? [07:37] n-iCe, Applications > Accessories > Avant window Manager [07:37] xbj9000, uhm nope. [07:37] Flannel, that's good enough for me. remember the name of the script? [07:37] i386 [07:38] what happens if I kill -HUP the process running Xorg? I lose all my open windows? [07:38] Ayabara: I'm checking my scripts right now, but I think it's just built in. I have screen_away, but that just automates my away being set as far as I remember. [07:39] #firefox [07:39] Sa[i]nT, how can i active the bar to the desktop? [07:39] Ayabara: http://www.irssi.org/documentation/startup#c8 [07:40] n-iCe : get awn-manager and avant-window-navigator [07:40] Flannel, it seems it's fnotify that does it (asked in #irssi as well) [07:40] DistroJockey, both are already the newest version. [07:40] dlozarie, you are gettting java using the package manager? or downloading from the java website? [07:41] n-iCe: when you install avw-manager, run avant-windw-navigator in terminal or click avant window manager from panel [07:41] Dr_Willis, using terminal. [07:41] dlozarie, thats a good... vague answer. :) heh.. [07:41] Jaffarkelshac, and now? [07:41] oh, sry. lol. what I meant was that I used a terminal command to install java. ya know, sudo apt-get [07:41] n-iCe, ahh, k. the window navigator link should be in Applications - Accessories as Sa[i]nT mentioned [07:42] DistroJockey, i know it opened a bar settings options [07:42] but how can i show the bar? [07:42] hey, how do I fix the firefox-closes-when-gmail-tab-closes phenomenon? [07:42] Yo im a newbie i got kubuntu 8.04, im having troubles with my linksys wmp54gs wireless PCI card... not working at all [07:42] and now what, have you installed it? its not in the panel as DistroJockey suggested refresh the panel. killall gnome-panel that should refresh it [07:43] Jaffarkelshac, it's not part of gnome-panel [07:43] what should I Do? [07:43] n-iCe, it should display down the bottom of the screen when you run Avant Window Navigator [07:43] n-iCe: hit alt-f2 and type 'avant-window-navigator' to run it [07:44] when i install stuff sometimes it does not appear on the gnome-panel until logoff or killing gnome-panel DistroJockey === bluefoxx is now known as verskcin [07:44] I have a T61p and the CDROM drive is very noisy. hdparm -M 128 says acoustic = not supported. Is there anything else I can try? [07:44] n-iCe: or alternatively, open the settings manager, click 'Run AWN on login' and relogin === verskcin is now known as bluefoxx [07:44] I meant hdparm -M 128 /dev/cdrom [07:44] Jaffarkelshac, true, but awn is not in the gnome-panel [07:45] ok thanks [07:45] Hi, some of my apps wont run because they complain that they cannot connect to my dbus session, however they run fine if run with sudo, why? === doresecu is now known as aniii [07:46] Ziroday, ive seen similer issues. normally I logout, wait a few sec. and log back in and they work properly. some odd thing going on with the user not being able to connect to the dbus service. [07:46] Dr_Willis: unfortunatly it is constant === bluefoxx is now known as drop === drop is now known as bluefoxx [07:46] Ziroday, bummer. [07:47] Does anybody know why I'm seeing little dashes randomly all over my screen? I'm guessing xorg doesn't like my ATI X700? [07:48] refresh rate too high? [07:48] whats a good book for learning ubuntu? [07:48] i want to block an internal machine from using a range of external ip addresses, can anyone assist with the iptable rule configuration [07:48] xbj9000 well I think LCD default is 60Hz right? [07:48] still_here, theres the ubuntu training books, that you can get in pdf format for free. for a start [07:48] who needs a book, learn it online [07:49] mynetdude I don't know [07:49] still_here: you can get the Official Ubuntu Book [07:49] I've seen tons of training stuff at bookstores though... they want $25!!! [07:49] Dr_Willis: where could i find a list for ubuntu training books? [07:49] still_here, i normally google for 'ubuntu training' and find the link to those books. [07:49] xbj9000 it started doing it a few hours ago, it didn't do it when it installed xorg drivers and even right after that it worked fine it was only till later this afternoon [07:50] Dr_willis: thanks [07:50] still_here, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training [07:50] mynetdude did it start when you rebooted after doing some updates earlier that day? [07:50] hello what kwifimanager are there any other good wireless managers? [07:50] xbj9000 I don't remember, I remember needing 15 updates today though [07:50] n-iCe, Did you get it working? I had to go afk, sorry. [07:50] because xorg updates won't take affect right away [07:51] Can I disable all desktop effects when booting the live CD? [07:51] xbj9000 they all seemed to be linux, lib and stuff like that I would assume kernel updates which did require reboot [07:51] xbj9000 yeah true, I wished I could force it to check for xorg updates [07:51] hi guys, when looking at webpages scrolling is pretty jerky - any ideas how i can fix this? [07:52] sorry mynetdude [07:52] xbj9000 seriously? wow... thats low... :( [07:52] Cheesypieces: enable smooth scroll? [07:52] anyone seen a CRONTAB service running on proc space before? [07:52] mynetdude: what? lol [07:52] Dr_willis: is it teaching how to learn about the kernel? [07:52] is there a google desktop for linux and how can I put a url address bar on my panels? [07:53] Ziroday: you're a genius! can't believe i didn't think of that [07:53] xbj9000 nvm... it just sucks you can't manually request it to look for updates concerning xorg [07:53] thanks [07:53] still_here, theres loads of kernel docs out.. and proberly some books in pdf format. but i dont mess with the kernel much. [07:53] i want to block an internal machine from using a range of external ip addresses, can anyone assist with the iptable rule configuration ... can anyone point to to a place where I can find some expamles and I can (hopefully) work it out from there [07:53] mynetdude: you can [07:53] still_here, check kernel.org would be the place to start. [07:53] mynetdude: yes there is a google desktop for linux, but I don't know if it has a sidebar [07:53] Cheesypieces: was that sarcasm? Im kinda slow this morning [07:53] mynetdude look in /etc/X11/ for an older backup of xorg.conf [07:53] Cheesypieces, smooth scrolling is an option in all the browsers I'm aware of in both windows and linux ;) [07:53] Ziroday, google just released their google widget stuff for linux a few days ago. [07:53] Dr_Willis: great. thanks [07:54] Hey does anyone know how to get the wireless PCI card linksys wmp54gs to work on ubuntu 8.04? [07:54] Dr_Willis: oh okay sweet [07:54] Ziroday, and it does have a sidebar.. it dosent work very well however. [07:54] still_here: #kernelnewbies [07:54] and check your current one for obvious errors / missing info [07:54] Ziroday, I don't want the sidebar, I just want to be able to index/search from the panel [07:54] !wlan | Iggey [07:54] Iggey: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [07:54] had to exit terminal coz it looked screwed up, now I can't reinstall java. [07:54] Ziroday: nope, i geniunely hadn't even considered it [07:54] Cheesypieces: oh goody [07:54] " Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?" [07:54] what does that mean? [07:54] mynetdude: why dont you use tracker [07:54] wols: people in there do not response.. hehe [07:55] dlozarie: means apt-get or package manager is running and you are trying to start a second compy [07:55] copy [07:55] dlozarie you can only use one package installer at a time, do you have Synaptic or Add/Remove running? [07:55] dlozarie: it means you tried to install something, whilst something else was installing [07:55] dlozarie, you have Synaptic open? [07:55] tracker? whats that? [07:55] xbj9000 how do I look for errors/missing info in the current version? [07:55] dlozarie: were you able to resize your partitions yesterday? [07:55] synaptic's closed. weird. I did exit the terminal when the Java install kinda hanged. [07:55] mynetdude: its the supplied alternative to google desktop that ubuntu ships with [07:56] oh [07:56] @moosah, yes. well I was able to resize it today with @unavailable's help. :) [07:56] mynetdude: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [07:56] I'm just used to using GD, I have it on XP and Vista [07:56] I don't know enough to know if I'd be missing anything dude... why can't it just tell me there is an update [07:56] dlozarie: what was causing the resize to be disabled? [07:57] well an update is probably what broke it [07:57] if there is an update, it will tell you and ask you to install it [07:57] ok, so lets assume that it was updated is there any way to do a rollback? [07:58] and prevent it from trying to update too [07:58] @moosah, well yesterday I was trying to resize my partitions with my installed ubuntu, not a live session. turns out I need a live session to resize. :D [07:58] live session? [07:58] dlozarie were u using gparted? [07:58] mynetdude, if you manually edit xorg.conf, it will no longer rewrite itself with updates [07:58] oh [07:58] mynetdude, yes. :D [07:58] ah ok... [07:58] I know that gparted won't run unless you have root [07:59] but you knew that [07:59] why amd64 has much problems [07:59] mynetdude I suggest looking in /etc/X11 in Nautilus and opening xorg.conf and also opening xorg.874536389 or whatever the backup is called, and comparing them [07:59] mynetdude, to have it rewrite itself do this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [07:59] xbj9000, where would the /etc/ be located? Home/usr/etc/? [07:59] no /etc [07:59] lol [07:59] hmm. how do I kill a program? [07:59] dlozarie, which one? [07:59] dlozarie, sudo killall name [08:00] never seen the /etc folder but I'll have a look [08:00] distrojockey, so sudo killall terminal? [08:00] mynetdude you have to start in the root, at / [08:00] ompaul I'm trying to see whether I can revert possibly... not update [08:00] dlozarie, nope, look at ps -e first [08:00] Hi, some of my apps wont run because they complain that they cannot connect to my dbus session, however they run fine if run with sudo, why? [08:00] dlozarie, look for synaptic or apt-get [08:00] xbj9000 so I'd need to do nautilus as root then [08:00] mynetdude, a little clue don't go randomly removing or changing things until you are 100% _sure_ what that change does [08:01] mynetdude, click 'File System' in the side panel of Nautilus [08:01] ofc... I just want to see if there are any backups or not thats the first step [08:01] no you don't need to be root to view these files [08:01] xbj9000 but I can't access root from the non root user right? [08:01] oh ok, good I'll brb [08:01] dlozarie, if you see those, kill them if you are sure you are still not installing/updating etc. [08:02] here's the thing,, i was trying to install java, and so the terminal window turned into the license agreement, right? so I hit enter and nothing happens, so i close the terminal window and now it won't run the command. === bluefoxx is now known as cthulhu [08:02] RealPlayer11GOLD.bin do not run in amd64(ubuntu) [08:02] can anyone tell me how i can disable the auto-result feature in firefox3?

[08:04] trying to avoid doing anything that will make changes until we know for sure what will happen [08:04] mynetdude, does xorg.conf seem to be kind of lacking a lot of info? [08:04] xbj9000 you also said to look for a file called xorg.xxx (x represents numbers)? [08:04] 为什么我不能用LumaQQ [08:05] does it just say "configured device" for all the entries?

[08:27] Flannel: so you think this can fix my problem? because i think that it should be hd0 because as you can see in my fdisk -l i get 2 partition on hd0 first windows partition and 2nd /boot [08:27] still_here: Whats it called? [08:27] still_here: whats the final name? [08:27] *file [08:27] siccness_: what do you mean? [08:28] that doesnt exist either [08:28] a filename is: hello.so [08:28] Flannel: its ida pro [08:28] hey can someone suggest what's the best way to mount a linux based NAS shared drive? [08:28] WindyCN: with 'mount' [08:28] ParanoyaM: you have no Windows partition on hd0, you have them on hd1 [08:28] lol [08:28] how can i navigate special directory in terminal? [08:28] siccness_: what box is it? [08:28] there's a guide here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently but it said it was for windows based shares [08:28] Hi, some of my apps wont run because they complain that they cannot connect to my dbus session, however they run fine if run with sudo, why? [08:28] !lol | siccness_ [08:28] siccness_: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [08:28] lol siccness_ [08:28] Flannel: explain me why? [08:28] it's a DNS-323 [08:29] dlink? [08:29] sadly [08:29] hahahaha [08:29] ParanoyaM: Because I'm looking at your fdisk output, and sda1 is linux, sda2 is Linux, and sda3 is Linux Swap [08:29] Flannel: correct [08:29] still_here: What is the filename of the so file? [08:29] just thought I'd doublecheck there wasn't a better way to mount the share =/ [08:29] ParanoyaM: so, you have nothing but linux on hd0 [08:29] plz any one answer me [08:30] Hi, some of my apps wont run because they complain that they cannot connect to my dbus session, however they run fine if run with sudo, why? [08:30] how can i navigate special directory in terminal [08:30] hobagoal: cd [directory], just like any other directory (there are no "special directories") [08:30] Flannel: it is from the ida pro package. i don't know how to install it on linux. [08:30] hello im trying t create a dvd from an avi file using devedee i keep getting an error saying cannot create dir tree maybe you ran out of disk space im sure there is enough disk space and ive tried it in a few dir please help :) [08:30] still_here: What is the *filename* of the so? [08:30] thanx thanx [08:30] hey, I know this doesn't exactly regard Linux (quite the opposite ironically), but can anyone help me with coding VB.net OR point me in the direction of a chan that can? [08:30] thanks [08:30] Flannel: i forgot.. hehe [08:30] i told u it's first time with linux [08:30] Hey Flannel, .bash_login doesnt exist [08:30] Atomic_Laptop, ##windows perhaps [08:31] bazhang: cheers [08:31] I think I read creating my own .bash_profile would work [08:31] Flannel: as you know grub has it is own numeration, but still i know that i load linux from (hd0,1) and this is my /dev/sdc2 so i think that to load windows i need to use /dev/sdc1 and this is (hd0,0) [08:31] any body here face problem with internet with Ubuntu [08:31] Hermes: man bash, fourth paragraph of "Invocation" will tell you the files it searches, and yeah, creating your own should work (unless its been deprecated) [08:31] Flannel: sorry, i forgot coz its on the other system i'm using... i'll check it out soon. btw, how does a .so file works? [08:31] can anyone help with blocking sites thru a network using iptables [08:32] ok flanne; [08:32] still_here: They're just libraries that programs use [08:32] flannel [08:32] typo :/ [08:32] GirlRiver, for kids? you might consider dansguardian or ff plugin for that [08:32] ParanoyaM: grub's numeration is more often than not identical to linux's. Pastebin your device.map file (in /boot/grub) [08:33] Flannel: so, there might be an executable file on that package, don't you think? [08:33] hi all, I'm newbie to ubuntu, i installed it on my dell inspiron 1525, but can't get my wireless running [08:33] still_here: What? [08:33] *shocked* how do I install the codec needed to play mp3s? [08:33] still_here: which package? the shared object file? no. Its just a library [08:33] hi. I installed Ubunt8.04 on Acer Aspire 3641, everything is ok but the audio. It's simply no sound. How should I troubleshoot this problem? thanks [08:33] !mp3 | dlozarie [08:33] dlozarie: 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 [08:33] how can i face the problem of ADSL " Net" problem at Ubuntu [08:33] Flannel: i mean, on that folder. not package. [08:34] still_here: I don't understand what you're asking [08:34] solotim, my Acer TravelMate doesn't play music after it wakes from hibernation/standby. perhaps the same case with yours? [08:34] So Flannel, I read Invocation, and what is says is that I don't need .bash_profile, .bash_login and .profile? [08:34] Flannel: http://pastebin.ru/294704 [08:34] hi, could someone help me configure my wireless with dhcp please. i can connect to ap's but cannot get an ip address [08:34] But just one of them? [08:34] still_here, what is ida pro [08:34] Flannel: i don't know how to install ida pro on my linux system. hehe [08:34] It said bash only reads from the first one it finds [08:34] Hermes: It'll check those three, in that order. And I imagine if you have all three, it'll read them all [08:34] Hermes, what are you trying to do? [08:34] bazhang: its a debugger [08:34] I cant find .bash_profile [08:35] lore17, did you add nameservers? [08:35] ParanoyaM: right. so, sda is hd0, sdb is hd1, sdc is hd2. [08:35] still_here, link please [08:35] Well I want to add a command to .bash_profile [08:35] Jewfro, no, is that a package i need to install? [08:35] Hermes: just create it, yes. Oddly, without your _profile, you wont be loading .bashrc [08:35] bazhang: search on wikipedia.org [08:35] hi, i installed ubuntu gutsy, and upgraded to hardy on inspiron 1525, but my wireless is not working, any help please ? [08:35] hi, i installed ubuntu gutsy, and upgraded to hardy on inspiron 1525, but my wireless is not working, any help please ? [08:35] Hermes: just create a new file, its no big deal [08:35] Hermes, .bash_profile does not need to exist, if you create one -- bash will use it _only_ when you log on to a system, not otherwise [08:35] Hi, some of my apps wont run because they complain that they cannot connect to my dbus session, however they run fine if run with sudo, why? [08:35] lore17, no - add your isp's nameserver - or opendsn ones - to /etc/resolv.conf [08:35] dlozarie. have you handled it? [08:35] it is not correct, please see http://pastebin.ru/294703 to find out that linux boots from hd0,1 [08:36] Hermes, if you want to have bash do something everytime you invoke bash, put your commands in ~/.bashrc not ~/.bash_profile [08:36] Jewfro, thanks, il try at [08:36] II did make my own .bash_profile and put alias l='ls -l' in it, but I don't think it worked [08:36] Flannel: it is not correct, please see http://pastebin.ru/294703 to find out that linux boots from hd0,1 [08:36] Okay Okay [08:36] Flannel: so as i understand hd0,1 it is /boot [08:36] Flannel: if so then hd0,0 it is my windows partition [08:36] lore17, you should also have a nameserver tab in the network under system, administration [08:36] im naked and all oiled up [08:36] where can I find information on running a 300 pc ubuntu only network [08:36] with printers and all [08:36] Sinister: lol [08:36] ParanoyaM: That looks to be the case, yes. [08:36] I'll add alias l='ls -l' to .profile, and create my own .bash_profile [08:37] then ill log out and back in, and see if what i tried to do worked [08:37] :D [08:37] anyone reccomend easy software to convert avi to dvd it may sound daft but i cannot get devede to work [08:37] ParanoyaM: Er, that doesn't make any sense [08:37] solotim, the way I handled it is by disallowing my lappy from ever hibernating/standing-by. instead I set my display to turn off after 3 minutes or so. [08:37] kids [08:37] Hermes, I believe ~/.bash_profile needs to be an executable [08:37] Hermes, adding it to profile would not be the best of ideas .. that file is also sourced by other shells like csh, tcsh, zsh .. and the syntax you are using is bash specific [08:37] Alright [08:37] Flannel: yeap, i am breaking my head with this problem all night [08:37] ParanoyaM: pastebin your fstab, and blkid [08:37] I see [08:38] ParanoyaM: 'sudo blkid' that is [08:38] Hermes, as per http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=528996 [08:38] do you support ibook ubuntu? [08:38] Hi, some of my apps wont run because they complain that they cannot connect to my dbus session, however they run fine if run with sudo, why? [08:38] Yeah, I suppose I shouldn't, because I just assumed I could and it'd be okay [08:38] it shows "cannot allocate PCI something then blank [08:38] DistroJockey, no, it does not need to be set executable as the file is sourced not executed [08:38] dlozrie, :) it's really a method. [08:38] unop, ok, cheers for clearing that up [08:39] Flannel: http://pastebin.ru/294705 [08:39] Hermes, well, it'll work just as long as you use bash .. but the minute you use another shell, you might run into problems [08:39] solotim, yeah that's all I can do as of the moment. lol [08:39] exit [08:39] Okay, thanks for the help [08:39] Hermes, unop : for reference - https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/1770 [08:39] I'm reading the thread [08:39] Flannel: http://pastebin.ru/294706 [08:39] dlozrie, I just want to know the reason undergoing there.

[08:40] Hermes, unop : tis a tad old though :) [08:40] hi, i installed ubuntu hardy on inspiron 1525, but my wireless is not working, any help please ? [08:40] solotim, tbh, I really don't know what's up either. might be an Acer problem, might be an incompatibility thing. I really can't do much for you re: this problem, maybe you could ask the other guys in here and they could help solve the probby. :D [08:40] !wireless | AnssarY [08:40] AnssarY: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [08:41] ubottu: thanks [08:41] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [08:41] dlozarie, thank you anyway, shake hands.... [08:42] Thanks, it worked [08:42] Hermes, which bit? :) [08:42] solotim, *shake hands* why'd you choose an Acer lappy anyway? lol [08:42] I did touch .bash_profile, chmod 700 .bash_profile, then put alias l='ls -l' in there [08:42] Hermes, ahh, cool :) [08:42] Yeah [08:43] What does touch do anyway? [08:43] Hermes, makes an empty file [08:43] man touch to find out [08:43] Okay [08:43] touch /woman [08:43] Flannel: [08:43] any ideas? [08:43] So I just did exactly what I did maybe an hour ago [08:43] Hermes, create a file if one does not exist - or set times on files if they exist [08:43] but this time it worked :/ [08:43] ParanoyaM: alright, so what's happening is GRUB is getting your harddrives in a different order than Linux. Are some of them IDE and some SATA? [08:44] Hermes, happens ;) [08:44] Hermes, it might be possible that you made a typo then and that caused bash to ignore your alias statement [08:44] Yes [08:44] But I don't think so [08:44] Well, thanks for your time [08:44] Hermes, you're welcome [08:45] I sure am [08:45] dlozarie, I liked its apperance at that time. LOL~~~ I'll never buy acer products. [08:45] hey does anybody know how to unlock the FN command to stop using the alternate keys? cuz when I type certain letters I get certain numbers instead like k is 2 and there is a 2 in blue which means its using the FN command [08:45] Flannel: yes all of them sata except sdc. SDC is ide. I made so because my old motherboard can't boot from sata harddrives. So situation is like here IDE hdd is divided on 2 partitions 1-st : 19GB - windows (and boot) 2nd - 200 Mb - /boot [08:45] Anyone know anything about ssh? [08:46] Hi, some of my apps wont run because they complain that they cannot connect to my dbus session, however they run fine if run with sudo, why? [08:46] solotim, yeah them aspire lappies look nice. I own a travelmate tho. lol if it were up to me, i'd have bought a macbook or, at the very least, an asus. hehe. [08:46] hey does anybody know how to unlock the FN command to stop using the alternate keys? cuz when I type certain letters I get certain numbers instead like k is 2 and there is a 2 in blue which means its using the FN command <---- laptop [08:46] mynetdude, same dilemma here. :( [08:46] hrmm, is there a way to do a total format that entirely removes everything? somehow, system updates that break my ubuntu port seem to be persisting through reinstalls and even partition deletions somehow :( [08:46] i'm also pretty new to linux in general so be gentle please :( [08:46] ParanoyaM: ah. That'd do it then. Alright, so, Linux is seeing the IDE after the SATAs (or at least, puttingit there), and GRUB sees it before. So your windows will be hd2,0 so you want to set your root command to hd2,0 [08:46] dlozarie explain? [08:46] Can anyone help me get the Win 98 driver files for RTL8187B wireless card? I have the Vista drivers, but appon further reading, I realized I needed the 98 files in order for this to work. [08:47] I have had not any luck via Google. [08:47] blah569, driverguide.com [08:47] dlozarie, I agree with you. hehe [08:47] Ziroday: These are graphical apps? [08:47] well, i had the problem before (ya know, FN key going nuts), but now it's gone, idk what happened. lol [08:47] unop: Thanks, I shall take a look at it. [08:47] Hi...When I play a movie in 'Movie Player' the sound is fine when window is not fullscreen, but as soon as I make the movie fullscreen...the sound quality becomes too bad. The same thing is happening in VLC also....any suggestions ? === Gumby` is now known as Gumby [08:47] Flannel: why hd2,0?? [08:47] blah569, but i would try windows 2000/XP drivers first .. as they tend to be more stable than the win98 ones [08:48] Ziroday, try runnong some of the apps from the terminal to see what exact error messages they give. Its possible its a permission issue. [08:48] Flannel: i think that my grub even don't see sata partitions because all of them are connected through sata controllers [08:48] Flannel: yes [08:48] hello :) [08:48] Ziroday, an error like this --> Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-hHRc4b7Olp, would imply that /tmp/ or that file has permission wrong issues. [08:49] Dr_Willis: sure one sec [08:49] ParanoyaM: Because the IDE drive is being put first, and then its the second SATA drive [08:49] yes [08:49] but windows is on IDE [08:49] as i told you [08:49] ParanoyaM: so, 0,1,2, hd2 [08:49] Ziroday, im just reading the various d-bus docs/sites. :) its one of those things ive never really looked into. [08:49] Ziroday, sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart - will restart the dbus service also. [08:49] ParanoyaM: Windows isnt the one labelled "system"? [08:49] Dr_Willis: here is the error - Error connecting to dbus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-ta3RgIGDw8: Connection refused [08:50] Flannel: anyway i tried all variants, and i always get message there is no such driv [08:50] I have a problem with installing Ubuntu 8.04 on a computer, runs Ubuntu 7.04 ... but when i try and install 8.04 it stops at a Busybox 1.1.3 window ... the computer is a Dell Power Edge 2400 with 733mhz CPU with 1gig ram [08:50] Ziroday, yep. :) now in that same terminal run dbus-launch , THEN try the app. [08:50] I know this is possible, just wondering if there's a tutorial out there to help me set it up. Got 2 computers, this one, my 'monster' that runs everything, and a crappy little laptop that can't run anything... but it can run DSL w/ X. My intent is to throw DSL on it, and just ssh over and spawn x apps on it (chat, IRC, etc etc etc). I'd like to do this without having to actually ssh and spawn the apps each time on the little machine (as I do now). is [08:50] there a way to set that up? [08:50] Ziroday: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/85118 [08:50] Flannel: yes! [08:50] hi all [08:50] Launchpad bug 85118 in dbus "epiphany launch error: Unable to connect to session bus" [Medium,Confirmed] [08:50] Flannel: system is not windows [08:50] ParanoyaM: So, /boot and windows are on the same drive? [08:50] yes! [08:50] articwolf that's a slower CPU, try the 'Alternate' Ubuntu CD [08:50] Seems thers some general dbus issues going on. from the # of forum posts ive seen on it. [08:50] because i need to load both of them [08:51] ParanoyaM: Get rid of the two map directives there. [08:51] how? [08:51] ParanoyaM: You don't need them both on the same drive to load both of them, for the record [08:51] Dr_Willis: says this > Unable to create /home/nick/.dbus/session-bus [08:51] Flannel: thanks will take a look [08:51] ParanoyaM: delete those two lines. Uh, 176 and 177. Oh... and actually, you need a "makeactive" in there too. [08:51] Ziroday: also, for the record, always use gksu with graphical programs, not sudo. [08:52] xbj9000 thanks for ur help [08:52] Ziroday, a forum posts mention a /home/USERNAME/.dbus file that is created with the wrong rights.. delete the .dbus files, and let your user remake them with that dbus launch command. [08:52] Flannel: last time i installed linux i and #grub and #ubuntu couldn't made load my linux from sata drives, that's why i was adviced to use /boot partition on IDE drive [08:52] ParanoyaM: root, savedefault, makeactive, chainloader +1 [08:52] oh i see [08:52] wait i will check [08:52] ParanoyaM: That could very well be the issue. [08:52] xbj9000 would it help if i installed a second CPU [08:52] Flannel: sure, but shouldn't it be gksudo?

[09:01] Hermes, we did suggest using .bashrc over ~.bash_profile [09:01] If I read more of the tutorial, I wouldnt have wasted 2 or so hours [09:01] xD [09:01] Hermes, Dr_Willis_Wirele : as the following sorta mentions - https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/1770 [09:01] hello. ive got a problem. the sound is crappy, but it is resolved with setting ALSA PCM on front:0 to about three fourths. however this only works until reboot. please help [09:01] i think i got similar problem...

Even after executing "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras", this message still appears when I try to play an mp3 file: "The playback of this movie requires a audio/x-asf-unknown decoder plugin which is not installed" [09:04] chatshack.net/ [09:04] left side has a few random rooms [09:04] firefox 3 trusts the applet [09:05] but I get no chat window [09:05] just a gray box [09:05] dlozarie, you need the medibuntu repository [09:05] xbj9000, okay. how do I get that? :) [09:06] !medibuntu [09:06] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [09:06] am I missing a plug in? [09:06] something simple? [09:06] argh :( [09:06] dlozarie: run this in terminal: sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list [09:07] dlozarie: then this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update [09:07] is there an easy way i can totally destroy my ubuntu install in all respects? even partition deletions seem to retain some stuff such as system updates for some reason :( [09:07] <|414TooLong|> xbj9000: will that work on 7.10? [09:07] it's probably this ps3 port being a problem, but you know :( [09:08] Mr_Rabies2, why uninstall Ubuntu? [09:08] no 7.10 is a different repository [09:08] dlozarie: i'm trying to get a clean slate to reinstall [09:08] for 7.10 the first part should be: sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list [09:08] Mr_Rabies, oh. :) [09:09] Where is ndiswrapper's location when you Install it? I'm having difficulty removing a driver from the command line, so I wish to remove it manually. [09:09] a couple system updates destroyed my install, and even deleting partitions and stuff with the livecd seems to keep them there somehow :/ [09:09] <|414TooLong|> thx [09:09] er, destroyed the functionality of it in some respects, rather [09:09] Mr_Rabies, I really can't help with the very technical aspects of Ubuntu, perhaps someone else can help you. I'm sure there are some fellas here who'd be willing to help. [09:09] anyone [09:09] Where is ndiswrapper's location when you Install it? I'm having difficulty removing a driver from the command line, so I wish to remove it manually. [09:10] eyeful_reader are you using 64bit Ubuntu? [09:10] 32 [09:10] just normal ubuntu [09:11] did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras? [09:11] flash? [09:11] I think so [09:11] go to firefox and type about:plugins into the address bar [09:11] Nevermind, I could remove it via Termnial. [09:11] Terminal *. [09:11] lol xbj9000 that was a smiley, about: plugins! lol [09:11] about:plugins [09:12] Shackwave flash is the first [09:12] then flash SHOULD work [09:12] yes adobe loads [09:12] also mozplugger is a great plugin that handles everything else [09:13] so is java the only problem? [09:13] Eyeful_reader, you probably need sun-java6-plugin [09:13] dlozarie did you enable that repository? [09:13] Hey anyone runnong Ubuntu with compiz and dual screen? [09:13] I'm cooking chicken :) [09:13] mmm [09:13] * Hermes is cooking chicken [09:13] I accidently clicked Applications->system tools-> new login and it opened another gui on TTY 8 how to stop it ? [09:14] Flannel: you are best man! thanks a lot, can you explain me what those commands for? [09:14] cherva: Just do a "ps -ef" and then "kill" the corresponding PID [09:15] xbj9000, yeah but still no playie-playie? :( [09:15] well there's more.. [09:15] where is the sun-java6-plugin? [09:15] ParanoyaM: Uh, root tells GRUB a default partition to use, then savedfault is a grub thing (for default entry), and then makeactive sets that as the active partition, and then chainloader +1 ... well, basically starts that partitions bootloader, whatever that happens to be [09:15] holas una consulta, alguien si existe spss para linux? [09:15] more? [09:16] !es | leycuen [09:16] leycuen: 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. [09:16] dlozarie: now do this: sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 w32codecs [09:16] Eyeful_reader, multiverse I assume === richard is now known as richnw3 [09:16] ah [09:16] sun [09:16] I will look [09:17] If I need to choose an icon for a new launcher, where should I be looking in my filesystem for existing collections? [09:17] for gnome if it matters. [09:17] @xbj9000, kthx. [09:17] dlozarie: libdvdcss2 is needed to play DVDs and w32codecs is for playing a lot of restricted proprietary formats [09:17] like mp3s? ;) [09:17] yeah let me know if you can play them now [09:18] rainabba, /usr/share/icons [09:18] DistroJockey: ty [09:18] rainabba, you're welcome [09:18] rainabba: most app icons are in usr/share/icons and usr/share/pixmaps [09:18] xbj9000, ok, will do. thanks a bunch! [09:19] when is it usually okay to upgrade to the next version of ubuntu? [09:19] downloading sun java now [09:19] found a bug with the suduko program! solved a puzzle but didn't get the flashing display :( [09:19] Eyeful_reader, :) [09:19] 30 mb [09:19] i really want to start playing with kde4, but i don't want to be installing all those pesky kde4 packages and simultaneously need to keep kde3 stuff around [09:19] I had java [09:20] tomasko, you will have to google your hardware to make sure its supported in hardy. also i've heard things where if you upgrade from terminal that things like audio breaks. its always best to do a fresh install if possible. [09:20] xbj9000: ty also. What the most appropriate/common app for viewing these folders in preview/thumbnail mode? [09:21] s/What/What's [09:21] avis, perhaps you know, but is there a way to do a genuine, "fresh" install, or am i trying to do one and my playstation 3 install is somehow acting up and not properly formatting/deleting partitions when i tell it to :/ [09:21] is there anyone that is using the fglrx driver and gets proper video playback (xv overlay mode)? [09:21] rainabba: probably fspot, which you should already have [09:21] because popping the cd in, checking "format" and even deleting partitions is somehow retaining data i don't want to retain :/ [09:21] rainabba, open the folder, it will show them [09:22] rainabba, that also :p [09:22] It's open ... but in list mode :) [09:22] but I assumed you knew that [09:22] I can't get my wireless network to connect. Anybody got a NetGear WG111T that can help me? [09:22] oh then put it in icon mode :p [09:22] rainabba, that is one thing I dislike about browsing for the icons in Gnome, you need to actually know there are icons in the folder as you can't see them when you browse to it [09:22] underneath the footprint [09:23] DistroJockey: Exactly what I'm dealing with right now. [09:23] Mr_Rabies2, well if its making a clean / partition then its doing a fresh install. you'd also want a swap, and you wouldn't overwrite your /home dir where your data is. if you want to get fresh config files for your ~/user directory then you need to delete those before you reinstall. i'm guessing doing a ps3 install is much like a pc using the debian installer, though i dont know, should be about the same though [09:23] rainabba, aye [09:23] xbj9000, doh! still unable to play! [09:23] hmm [09:23] anyone? [09:23] avis: uh, i've been using ubuntu since 5.10 buddy, never needed to do that. edgy -> feisty was a bit ugly initially, but it worked out fine [09:23] dlozarie: try sudo apt-get install lame [09:23] I have tried everything to get wireless to work with this Ubuntu. I have installed the RTL8187b driver files with ndiswrapper, I have made sure that they start up when the computer boots, and I have blacklisted the r8180 Linux driver. [09:24] The Win 98 drivers, by the way. [09:24] avis: i know the stuff is supported in hardy, i'm talking about upgrading to ibex. when (before the official release) would upgrading yield a relatively stable system? [09:24] tomasko, you asked when it would be safe to upgrade and i replied given the experiences of people who upgraded from gutsy to hardy on this channel. [09:24] avis: would those things usually survive a partition deletion? i'd imagine not [09:24] tomasko, i'm not sure what ibex is. dont know. sorry [09:24] my guess is the ps3 version of the installer is somehow broken [09:24] xbj9000, did sudo apt-get lame, no worky-worky still. :( [09:25] avis: 8.10, whatever the official full name is [09:25] !ibex | tomasko [09:25] tomasko: Alpha Software: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidIbex | Warning lots of breaking software and other good stuff between now and October! [09:25] dlozarie, liblame0 [09:25] dlozarie, w32codecs should have done it [09:25] * ^hellfire^ siema [09:25] ompaul: that's not helpful. also use !command > user [09:25] Mr_Rabies2, you have to tell the partitioner when you do a manual partition what partitions to create and what to format, or not format. /home will always survive if your sure you tell the partitioner to not overwrite it [09:25] what are you using tp play the mp3s? [09:25] otherwise, it just pollutes the channel with useless repetitive garbage [09:25] unop, sudo apt-get install liblame0? [09:26] dlozarie, yes [09:26] avis, how do i tell it to overwrite it? because i just want to get rid of it ALL and do a fresh install === alex_ is now known as aleksadr [09:26] something's retaining system updates and it's breaking networking, preventing a lot of functionality :( [09:26] have tried everything to get wireless to work with this Ubuntu. I have installed the RTL8187b Win 98 driver files with ndiswrapper, I have made sure that they start up when the computer boots, and I have blacklisted the r8180 Linux driver. [09:26] tomasko, ehh the point of that one is to discourage those who would move expecting stability therefore it does its job rather well - I should know I wrote it [09:26] I* [09:26] I have tried everything to get wireless to work with this Ubuntu. I have installed the RTL8187b Win 98 driver files with ndiswrapper, I have made sure that they start up when the computer boots, and I have blacklisted the r8180 Linux driver. [09:26] Mr_Rabies2, just do manual partition make a swap / and /home directory 2x ram for swap about 15gb for / and the rest on /home and tell it to format each one [09:27] Any way to tell which icons are associated with or installed by a given app? For example, i'm creating a launcher for pavumeter right now and I'm sure there is an icon already. [09:27] unop, still no. the error message that comes up in totem: "The playback of this movie requires a audio/x-asf-unknown decoder plugin which is not installed." [09:27] i have, and yet it retains that data somehow, avis [09:27] yo in ubuntu apache2 I can't get userdir to chmod and show public_html directory [09:27] i've even resized the / and swaps and still somehow gets retained [09:27] dlozarie, install w32codecs from the medibuntu repo .. see !medibuntu [09:27] ompaul: i'm not expecting stability with which i pick up a phone and demand fixes or any outrageous like that. i just mean that if everything worked in 8.04, at what point between the release of 8.04 and the release of 8.10 is it safe to begin updating? [09:27] hard,too hard [09:27] weesyz: is it readable by www-data? [09:27] ompaul: also, that wiki is so completely barebones [09:27] unop, I've done that. [09:27] I get this error [09:27] yo, in apache2 I can't get userdir to chmod and show public_html directory [09:27] Mr_Rabies2, if it retains the data your not telling it to format those partitions before mounting them. there is a specific option that is like "format" or "do not format" [09:28] I ment [09:28] yes, i am, avis [09:28] i'm clicking "Format" [09:28] the checkbox [09:28] tomasko, go to #ubuntu+1 to find out the state of play [09:28] hello [09:28]  have tried everything to get wireless to work with this Ubuntu.

[09:29] dlozarie maybe totem needs the gstreamer plugins [09:29] weesyz: no, you need to make ~/public_html world readable [09:29] did you try any other app for playing the mp3s? [09:29] ok login loads === chryss is now known as chrys_mashed [09:29] Flannel: how, can I get a example [09:29] DaLiang: it could mean that you're logged in on the desktop and in a terminal [09:30] blah569: try it with a grml live cd, if that doesn't work, then you know it's not an ubuntu-specific problem (though possibly debian and debian-derived issue as well as actual kernel bug (unlikely) or even a hardware problem (also something i doubt)) [09:30] Ok, new question. What's involved in using a .glade file for an icon? [09:30] Starnestommy:oh! thank you very much,i am a fool [09:30] try http://chatshack.net/truckinusainc [09:30] blah569: your best bet is to buy hardware you know to be supported on linux and do the research _before_ you buy [09:30] java loads [09:30] enter a name [09:31] weesyz: chmod -R a+r ~/public_html [09:31] my sound blaster x-fi isn't working in Hardy, even with "oss" drivers [09:31] Argh.

[09:34] Can anyone help me out with this, I keep getting this error http://pastebin.org/45306 after running update manager.. what is this caused by and how can I fix it?

They're the ones controlling access to their public_html folders. If they don't want people seeing something, that's their perogative [09:36] hmm distrojockey I never had to install those, maybe they came with other packages [09:36] dialman: RTL81876b is my card, however, I am suppossed to use RTL8187b, as it is more common. [09:36] probably ristricted-extras [09:36] weesyz: Well, there are some ways around it, groups, etc. [09:36] xbj9000, yeah, probably, I grabbed that list from Synaptic's history [09:36] weesyz: but yes, each user needs to make sure their public_html folder (and any files they want to be viewable) are readable by the www-data user [09:37] Does anyone happen to know when FF3.0 stable will come to Ubuntu repos? [09:37] dlozarie, especially vlc, it plays anything [09:37] I have tried everything to get wireless to work with this Ubuntu. I have installed the RTL8187b Win 98 driver files with ndiswrapper, I have made sure that they start up when the computer boots, and I have blacklisted the r8180 Linux driver.

[09:37] xbj9000: doesn't seem to be when I do apt-cache show firefox-3.0 [09:38] maybe it's called something else [09:38] is a month long enough to wait for an answer???? [09:38] maybe you need to do an updaet.

[09:39] well my firefox updated and no longer says "beta" [09:39] Can anyone help me out with this, I keep getting this error http://pastebin.org/45306 after running update manager.. what is this caused by and how can I fix it? [09:39] someone help me in murcurry ez view tv tuner card? [09:39] xbj9000: same here, but there is still an annoying bug that I don't get if I use the firefox mozilla provies [09:40] god I give up on Ubuntu [09:41] Gah. [09:41] quiters [09:41] WGGMk: This seems like a good start: http://www.linux.com/articles/48910 [09:41] Why give up on ubuntu? It was definitely a pain to get working, but my system is faster and more functional than it ever was under windows... [09:41] Ubuntu is great. [09:41] I've been windows free for like 3 months now. [09:41] quiters can't hang, their loss [09:41] dialman: perhaps he didn't want to endure the pain of getting it to work? [09:41] I can see colors again! lol. [09:42] food tastes better! [09:42] Plus... [09:42] You can't mess with the CUBE [09:42] women still flee! .oh... [09:42] Definitely a lot more configuration needed. When first installed: SMB, wireless, dual monitor support. flash support, and sound were all at least somewhat broken. [09:42] * rainabba is finding Unbutu to be quite the pain compared to Windows and OSX, but he had an unusually good experience with both despite his requirements. Not even close to giving up though. [09:42] Enselic: thanks but I think its more like grub not updating for some reason rather then apt-get failing [09:43] Sa[i]nT: Referring to Compiz cube? [09:43] anyone http://chatshack.net/truckinusainc [09:43] I was talking linux to a friend today, and realized when I was explaining how to do regex combo's in grep, that omg.. I'mma geek. [09:43] rainabba, Yes. [09:43] Enselic: I think it might be cause by a 3rd party gfx-boot I installed for amd64, but I dont really know what steps to take to fix it [09:43] Java loads but fails to enter room [09:43] WGGMk: uinstall? [09:43] Still have a few problems. If compiz is enabled I get a lot of flickering in any other app I run that uses opengl. [09:43] Sa[i]nT: If the compiz devs run with my idea, the cube will be old news :) [09:44] The cube barely begins to demonstrate what UI can be like. [09:44] eyeful_reader, did you change your default version of java to use? installing sun isn't enough [09:44] rainabba, Well me in particular. I use the wall. But I would like to see some revolutionary stuff. [09:44] how much ram do you need to run the kubuntu 8.04 KDE4 remix? [09:44] Enselic: im a bit skidish to uninstall it, im not sure on the negative repercussions from it [09:44] Like maybe a sphere for starters. [09:44] rainabba: arch linux in my ~ 4-5 years of using a variety of linux distributions is much more simple that ubuntu. in other words, it takes work to screw something up and it doesn't do things for you without you saying you want it to happen [09:44] Sa[i]nT: The wall is cool looking, but really I find it to be no more efficient. [09:45] where xbj9000: ? [09:45] Same with the cube.. [09:45] rainabba: there's a strong emphasis on using text files for configuration with straightforward options. it's all very elegant and makes for very fast systems. give it a try if you're frustrated with ubuntu [09:45] eyeful_reader: try this: sudo update-alternatives --config java [09:45] dialman: What I'm doing development, I find the cube nice to seperate work/personal/music, but otherwise I agree. [09:45] dialman, The wall, I don't have to move. The cube is fun to show off to friends, but gets annoying when I switch from the internet to my perl workspace. [09:45] eyeful_reader: then enter the number for the sun version [09:45] tomasko: Thanks for the tip. [09:46] So how bout this module "module-alsa-sink"? Where do I get it? [09:46] Google returns 2 results. [09:47] i've never heard of that [09:47] apt-cache search gives me nothing [09:47] ok [09:47] well a kernel module is something you build [09:47] i doubt a package for one kernel module by itself exists in ubuntu's package repositories [09:47] Hi. [09:47] xbj9000, I had to leave for a while. I'm back. so banshee couldn't play it either. === chencanpi2 is now known as chencanpig [09:48] What's the name of Ubuntu's media player? [09:48] dlozarie did you install those gstreamer things? [09:48] indio: totem [09:48] xbj9000, well, turns out they'd been installed already.

[09:50] tomasko: Ultimately I'm trying to do A2DP through PulseAudio via ALSA following http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/AudioDevices . I can't load module-alsa-sink though and can't find it. [09:50] eyeful_reader you may need to restart firefox, or log out and back in even but probably not reboot [09:50] rainabba: what's the problem specifically? [09:51] rainabba: module-alsa-sink doesn't sound like a proper device driver name [09:52] new skype? [09:52] can I see a log [09:52] or something to help? [09:53] eyeful_reader, what's wrong? [09:53] I enter a username [09:53] hit enter room [09:53] xbj9000, even VLC won't play the dang file. Imma try another MP3 to make sure it's not the file that's stupid. [09:53] and it just locks up [09:54] as in java never loads, enters the room [09:54] eyeful_reader you mean on the website you're trying to use? [09:54] No the site loads [09:54] the java loads the log in [09:54] but the java part does not work, right [09:55] exactly [09:55] tomasko: When I try "pactl load-module module-alsa-sink device=headset" I get "Failed: module initialization failed" [09:55] I'm sorry I'm out of ideas, eyeful_reader [09:56] http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/2714/failsatlb1.jpg [09:56] work safe [09:56] So it seems like its almost in [09:57] I don't know, do other java sites work ok? [09:57] adobe seems fine [09:57] xbj9000, shut up and drive plays. so the MP3 file I'd been trying to play previously was the culprit. thanks for the assistance! [09:57] lol [09:58] deftones huh [09:58] xbj9000, eh? deftones? nah, I meant Shut up and Drive by Rihanna. lol [09:58] This is damn curious. Skype can use my webcam flawlessly, but nothing else can. WHY!? [09:58] eyeful_reader maybe that site just uses some other old version of java or something :/ [09:58] haha [09:59] eyeful_reader is it possible to connect to the chat with an external chat program?

[10:00] I know, that was offtopic. [10:00] Let's all be friends GAH [10:00] sorry eyeful_reader, maybe a reboot will somehow make it start working, but I don't think so and I'm out of ideas [10:00] anyway to see the room load? [10:01] in realtime? === Jon_ is now known as krumm [10:01] ? [10:02] How can I generate a new menu.lst? [10:02] lol I just realized I'd been in the channel since noon. :-)) [10:02] WGGMk: update-grub should generate a new one for you upon installation/removal of a kernel image [10:02] wggmk I think it's something like update-grub [10:02] hi chaps [10:02] lol right [10:03] Thanks, getting a lil worried atm [10:03] i'm having a problem with the 8.04 live cd... [10:03] http://pastebin.ca/1052851 [10:03] only error I get [10:03] You should never get worried. Like all machina, everything can be solved with a bullet. [10:04] haoo [10:04] does xubuntu have an advance config for the desktop effect? [10:05] like the compizconfig settings manager for ubuntu [10:05] quick question. I just went from 7.10 to 8.04, a little problem. Tapping on the touchpad now produces a right click instead of a left click. Anyone know how to fix this off the top of their head? [10:05] i get a white screen whenever i try to install off the livecd or run it [10:05] :) [10:06] hi..is there a hack on how to add the "computer" and "search" functions(dont' know how to call it) into the side pane?or there's already and option that i am missing? [10:06] oh nm, I got it from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/27724 [10:06] Launchpad bug 27724 in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics "Touchpads should be unaffected by left handed mouse option" [Medium,Confirmed] [10:06] Krumm, did you need a live CD, or if your just trying to install - try the alternate-install CD [10:06] When I run fglrxinfo it returns the correct results but finishes in a Segmentation fault. When I try and play videos in totem I get an error then a segmentation fault [10:06] eyeful_reader that looks to me more like an error with their site but I don't understand what it means [10:07] hmm, opera 9.5 has been out for almost 2 weeks. when will it replace opera 9.27 on hardy? [10:07] yes just some advertiser banner I think [10:07] however it looks like it has to do with some ad site you don't care about anyway :/ [10:07] yes [10:07] unfortunate [10:07] it's kind of unfair that firefox 3.0 is available in the repositories but opera 9.5 isn't [10:07] try opera ;-) [10:07] what? [10:07] dlozarie, hi, are you still there? [10:08] still here. :D [10:08] glxinfo also finishes with a segmentation fault... anyone have any idea how to fox that?

[10:10] is anybody here knowing how to use compiz on hardy? [10:10] ok [10:10] solotim, thank you for sharing! preciate it! :) [10:10] hello, when I boot into my xclient script session nothing but my background loads, I have to boot into failsafe gnome to get any gui can anyone help [10:10] dlozarie, u r welcome. :) [10:10] Eyeful_reader, see the following site for more info if needed: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm [10:10] aabarg, its installed by default i thought. You may want to be sure your video card drivers 3d support is installed correctly however. [10:11] Eyeful_reader, just don't remove any lines from your current hosts file [10:11] brb [10:11] willis, i know.. i have also the icon on my bar [10:11] eyeful_reader I also suggest using AdBlock Plus plugin for Firefox [10:11] DistroJockey: do that long enough and eventually you'll notice large delays in simple dns requests [10:11] the problem is that i don't know how make the effects work [10:11] xbj9000, isn't adblock plus that plugin that blocks all kinds of advertisements on webpages? [10:12] Eyeful_reader, i second xbj9000 's suggestion. :) [10:12] tomasko, might, yeah [10:12] DistroJockey: always better to use kernel based firewall solutions (like iptables rules or ufw for noobs) [10:12] dlozarie, yes it is. [10:12] yes and it's a must-have [10:12] hello [10:12] HOWEVER you may find that firefox won't let you install any ad-ons [10:12] hmm. being a blogger, I have to say I sort of despise that plugin, since it can basically decrease my earnings from AdSense, Kontera, AdBrite, etc. lol [10:12] Its getting where theres so many ads, that some sites i cent even read, due to the overkill of flashing/annoying ads [10:12] tomasko, got a nice guide to do that? [10:13] if so, you need to delete something in the firefox folder, I forget at the moment what though [10:13] dlozarie, as a customer paying for bandwidth - I'm more disturbed by ads [10:13] dlozarie, Jewfro has a good point also. [10:13] dlozarie..... tooooo bad [10:14] Hi i'm trying to dual boot xp and ubuntu 8.04 and everything is installed but the grub boot loader wont load windows is still popping up [10:14] dlozarie, im more bothered by sites with more ads then contend, and porn ads showing up all over the place. [10:14] :'( hahaha. [10:14] they are installed to an sata drive [10:14] Dr_Willis_, agreed. In my defense, the ads on my site are, for the most part, not intrusive. [10:14] :) [10:14] DistroJockey: there are many guides online... just search around. none that i'd particularly recommend because i always prefer a thorough read of the subject rather than a custom-tailored guide for one situation [10:14] how do i recover deleted files? [10:14] dlozarie, i also block all flash by default. [10:15] join #linux.de [10:15] wheres that dang bot when u need em [10:15] dlozarie, i normally see ONE of those 'double underlined hover ads' on a page.. and then rember to go install adblock... [10:15] Dr_Willis, I'm right there with you - I refuse to have dancing credit cards wasting my cpu cycles [10:15] Dr_Willis_, yeah, slows down page loads, annoying, usually useless. [10:15] how do I get grub to install to the mbr of my sata drive? [10:15] tomasko, well, then hosts is easier for noobs [10:15] wheres that ubuto bot? [10:15] he knows links [10:15] DistroJockey: ufw was created by ubuntu developers to make the interface to iptables easier [10:16] DistroJockey: it's as simple as man ufw [10:16] Dr_Willis_, you mean the in-text ads? Yes they're normally double-underlined but I put an extra line of code on my Kontera code so that they become single-underline. :) [10:16] tomasko, I realise this [10:16] dlozarie, i just remove the useless things totally.. Like i need to see an ad for ford.com when i mouse over the word 'car' :) [10:16] gimme some links on how to recover deleted files, please help!

[10:23] my feeling is that if i increase the size of the packets, the total number of packets transmitted will decrease, and the associated overhead costs will drop [10:23] no idea [10:24] can someone help me get grub going? [10:24] I have to get some sleep lol, the gun show is tomorrow [10:24] Nine76, You could set the pc to boot off the ide drive. [10:24] sounds explosive. enjoy. i'm turning in as well. good night [10:25] dr_willis: I tried that but it say grub loading then error 22 [10:25] oh sata problem, you have to change the hd(0,0) part in menu.lst but I forget how [10:25] it gives it the wrong numbers [10:25] so look into that, and goodnight all :) [10:25] i just read at the internet, that when you are going to install a program in linux, you have to compile, using make and make install.... since the programs are made in a wide range of programming languages, make and make install compiles programs in any language ? [10:25] that and it installs to the ide instead [10:26] Nine76, yea like xbj9000 says. grub numbers the drives differently,. and starts at 0. It pays to read the grub homepage/docs and learn the ins and outs of grub. It can be a bit annoying at changing the menu.lst from a live cd till you get it right. [10:26] will i still have to boot off the ide? [10:26] Nine76, you can edit the grub boot lines from the grub menus with the 'e' key or use the grub shell to explore and see what drives and files grub is seeing where. [10:26] can i have cli show hidden files instead of having to type ls -a every time? [10:27] Nine76, You could use the setup command from the shell to put grub on the other hd;s [10:27] let me load the live cd [10:27] Paulao, if you get source code, yes. But Ubuntu has many programs you can install using the package managers [10:27] Chrysalis, alias ll='ls -al' [10:27] Chrysalis, then use ll. :) [10:28] hmm. greasemonkey can't be the culprit, since even with greasemonkey disabled, Ff still crashes. [10:28] Chrysalis, you could do alias ls='ls -a' but that can cause confusion at times.

[10:33] how does one go about installing libflashsupport? [10:33] dr_willis_: find filename but I want to find hard drives [10:33] Nine76, and you can do things like setup and it will list the drives/partitions [10:33] Nine76, you want to look for the file ON the hard drive. to see how its nameing them [10:33] dr_willis_: tab just made a space [10:34] dlozarie: go into accesories, terminal and type sudo apt-get install libflashsupport [10:34] you are not using a command that has completion, or wrong command perhaps. [10:34] dr_willis_: I don't know and filename [10:34] Nine76, look for menu.lst :) [10:34] dr_willis_: i typed setup and hit tab liek u said nothing [10:35] Nine76, setup installs grub to a specific hd.

[10:43] hi, how do you find out which package a file belongs to? [10:43] when i booted this morning i got a resolution my monitor cannot use, so i did an x fix and now the highest resolution i can use is 800*600 on a 1280*1024 screen, my graphics card is an nvidia 7600gt can anyone help me fix x? [10:43] starbucks, yes. yes you did. hehe. congrats! [10:44] Yes - the cube is critical for proper ubuntu ussage. :) [10:44] Kitu, Nope, I am not. [10:44] dlozarie: Hehe :P [10:44] how can I check if the following are installed: a web server, a ftp server, ssh server, imap, pop3, smtp? [10:44] Sa[i]nT, "saint" = san [10:44] i'm about to give up on ubuntu [10:44] dlozarie, Darklooks + Jungle or Oxygen [10:44] error404notfound, they are not on a normal ubuntu install [10:44] Nine76, it pays to learn grub if you want to use linux. [10:44] DistroJockey, gnome-look.org right? [10:44] well grub is the default install [10:44] Dr_Willisy_: yes, that's correct... [10:44] Kitu, Saint means alot of things. [10:44] dlozarie, yep [10:45] samphippen: from my experience it's gonna require messing with xorg.conf, but someone else may have a better option, i'm still a newbie at this :( [10:45] okay checking it out. :) === kerren is now known as cheline [10:45] u would think the setup work install it to the same drive i installed ubuntu to [10:45] dlozarie, Darklooks is in gnome-themes-extra [10:45] Nine76, often the use of ide and sata drives confuses things.. and the fact you booted from a live cd, and not a hd. can confuse things. I had similer issues with my sata/ide system [10:45] so what do I do? [10:45] Nine76, what i did the 2nd time was unplugged one of the hd's when i installed. :) [10:45] Do any of you use Windows? [10:46] Dr_Willis_: but doesn't address my question... I wanna check if they are installed on a remote system or not... Plus its not necessary that they would be running... then its not necessary that web server is always apache, so doing dpkg -l | grep apache won't work :P [10:46] Nine76, or learn how grub works and fix it. [10:46] can i unplug the other drives and install then plug them back in? [10:46] or will that screw up the numbers [10:46] Nine76, thats how i did it. :) [10:46] ok i was thinking it wouldn't work [10:46] Nine76, its possible.. but its hard to tell. [10:46] Nine76, or install grub to every hd. and fix the menu.lst to have the proper hd2,2 type numbers for the location of linux [10:47] hi, will it do any harm if i delete the "trash" folder and make a new one again? cos there are files in it right that i am not able to remove. maybe there's a bug or something... [10:47] Nine76, grub is FUN! :) [10:47] well its seeing my sata as sdc and my ide as sda and sdb [10:47] damn how hard can it be to play super mario bros on linux does anyone know of any decent nes emus [10:47] menu.lst has hd2,2 [10:47] http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t74/Saint_Belmont/myscreenshot.png [10:47] Best emerald theme. [10:47] lol. [10:47] exit [10:47] Nine76, so you have 3 hard drives total.. be CAREFULL durung install that you do not get some of the sd#'s mixxed up and reformat the wrong drive. [10:47] quit [10:48] i don't [10:48] Nine76, i accidently formated/intalled to the wrogn hd.. once. ;) [10:48] the sata is sdc [10:48] Guys howcome I can't set my reslution to higher on ubuntu? When on vista I can set it to 1280*1024 please [10:48] although i loaded the sabayon install and it was sda [10:48] Nine76, if you boot off the sata it may become 'sda' from what ive seen on some machines [10:48] Nine76, if you boot off an ide drive.. IT may become sda [10:48] i tried booting from ide [10:48] Hai [10:49] Nine76, and yes.. this has caused much confusion to me in the past. [10:49] grub didn't load right said error 22 [10:49] Nine76, and what does error 22 mean? [10:49] cd /; ls -R takes up alot of cpu [10:49] idk i'm jsut trying to install somethign someone told me was easy [10:49] Compiz fans, please check this out and be sure to vote: http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=8856 [10:49] Hello, isn't there a vncserver on Hardy ? [10:50] Nine76, from the grub docs --> 22 : No such partition [10:50] This error is returned if a partition is requested in the device part of a device- or full file name which isn't on the [10:50] starbucks, you might need to see if you can get better drivers for your graphics card [10:50] Nine76, that tells me that grub was looking on the wrong hd for the files.. ie not hd(2,2) [10:50] How to build so that it downloads all the dependences itself? [10:50] there used to be a package called vncserver on Gutsy [10:50] starbucks, do you have that effect where the windows become springy/jiggly? [10:50] dlozarie, here's a screenshot of mine: http://i28.tinypic.com/1pv6o3.png [10:50] andycan, run something like. sudo apt-get build-dep packagename first .. then do the build process [10:50] Dr_Willis_: but i did find and it says hd2,2 [10:51] Nine76, and what does menu.lst have grub looking for? is it hd2,2? or someplace else? [10:51] Dr_Willis_: hd2,2 [10:51] hey can anyone help me with my gui? xclient ession doesn't boot anything I can only get gui is with failsafe gnome. [10:51] Dasmoover, what graphics card do you have? [10:51] Nine76, ive edited the menu.lst befor and cloned an entry so it had hd1,2 and hd2,2 and hd0,2 in the past. :) and tried them all [10:52] conb123: I've got that thing to compile, whether it works or not is another story [10:52] Nine76, i would be wondering if you booted from that hd. if it did not infact need hd0,2 instead of 2.2 [10:52] How to build so that it downloads all the dependences itself? [10:52] Nine76, you could edit the boot lines from grub and change the #;s and try the other ones [10:52] hmm [10:52] andycan, did you read what i said to you? [10:52] DistroJockey, nice! what theme is this? Jungle? [10:52] grub doesn't load tho [10:53] i need to install it to the sata [10:53] dlozarie, Darklooks with Jungle Green and a background I found somewhere [10:53] gordonjcp: oh i gave up im trying out some other ones [10:53] unop: sorry [10:53] Good morning all, im running a network with windows, mac and ubuntu, i've got ubuntu server installed and want my .local addresses to route to it... i've set up ubuntu to resolve myproject.local and it works on the local machine, however the other OS's don't see it, i've manaully added it to the hosts in windows with the correct IP address, am I missing a step? [10:53] Dr_Willis_: oh when i load from ide grub menu doesn't even load [10:54] gives error 22 before the menu even loads [10:54] conb123: so far if you comment out the "perror" lines and replace them with "printf("some message\n");" it compiles [10:54] TheHodge: Are the other machines using DNS running on your ubuntu box (where .local is defined) ? [10:54] TheHodge, you'll need to setup a DNS server so that it resolves the .local domain properly [10:54] something strange is going on... I took all day de-fragging and consolidating free space on my ntfs partition so I didnt loose any data and the partition resizing would work... So I also did a ChkDsk /R /F so everything would go smooth... everything did... partition resized correctly and is working perfect (8.04 alt cd), even got the Eyecandy working after only 5 minutes after doing all upgrades first.... the installation can see t [10:54] he XP partition which was resized to 99GB and gave the rest to ubuntu... only like 70 out of the 99 is full on the ntfs... what is strange is that this driver is a 160 GB I JUST LOOKED THE DRIVE ITSELF BECAUSE I DIDNT BELIVE IT..... Ubuntu is saying that I have a 200GB HD when XP said 149... [10:54] rainabba: theres nothing else running dns [10:54] 160 grows to 200? [10:54] unop i've had a look at the manual but I can only find information with DNS + Bind [10:55] wtf? [10:55] TheHodge: Didn't catch the "hosts" bit first read. This is one LAN right? [10:55] nothing for network traffic [10:55] yeah [10:55] unop: your syntax just checks for dependencies? [10:55] Dr_Willis_: oh when i load from ide grub menu doesn't even load [10:55] Dr_Willis_: gives error 22 before the menu even loads [10:55] it has to be a partitioner error right? [10:55] dlozarie: Yes I have the wobble effect on why? [10:55] a driver cant just grow like that because it is in good health and 0 fragments [10:55] drive* [10:55] starbucks, looks fun eh? LOL [10:55] TheHodge: On the Windows machine, run "nslookup" and type your hostname. See if it resolves there. Then make sure you can ping the IP. THEN try to ping by hostname. Tell us which fails. [10:55] Nine76, sounds like the drives are getting reordered around big time. [10:56] Dr_Willis_: yes it does [10:56] guys, i'm not getting my full resolution in hardy heron, i'm only getting 800*600 on a 1280*1024 screen, my graphics card is an nvidia 7600gt can somone help please? [10:56] dlozarie: Yeah lol...but I can't change my resolution now :( [10:56] I also love how the cube looks when you drag a window to the right/left of one desktop. LOL [10:56] http://pastebin.ca/1052858 from http://chatshack.net/34rth anyone please ? [10:56] starbucks, what? why? [10:56] TheHodge, DNS is needed to get clients to resolve hosts in the .local domain right .. you can do it with the hosts file but it's problematic if you decide to change ip addresses or hostnames .. bind is the way to go [10:56] dlozarie: I don't know its just been like that ever since I enabled compiz [10:56] I'm getting crazy flickering in opengl games, someone told me earlier to change ccsm and it seemed to work but now I've rebooted, it's back. is there some way to permanantly turn that junk off? [10:56] nslookup brings back Can't find server name for address 192.168.1.4: No response from server [10:56] andycan, no, it installs the libraries/dependencies needed to build your package from source [10:56] I can ping the ip [10:57] starbucks, hmm, weird... don't have knowledge bwt compiz tho, so I'm afraid I can't help you w/ that. [10:57] TheHodge, Is that server (192.168.1.4) setup to deal with the .local domain? [10:57] yep [10:57] and it resolves on the local machine [10:57] AFK for a while, futurama's on. [10:57] dlozarie: Well I don't know if it 100% is compiz though...I just don't understand why I can no longer get the higher resolutions I used to get... [10:57] Can bluray video be losslessly transcoded to h.264? [10:58] guys, i'm not getting my full resolution in hardy heron, i'm only getting 800*600 on a 1280*1024 screen, my graphics card is an nvidia 7600gt can somone help please? [10:58] Dr_Willis_: ok i'm unplugging them [10:58] if a HDD says it grows from 160 to 200 GB then it is a partitioner error right? [10:58] unop: It just told me that: "E: Build-dependencies for pidgin could not be satisfied." [10:58] TheHodge, thats not the same thing, you'll need to configure it to load the .local zone file and perhaps also get DHCP to map ip addresses to hostnames and vice-versa in the .local domain [10:59] andycan, i have to go now .. get someone to review the complete output you have there [11:00] Dr_Willis_: ok now how do I install grub to the mbr now that i just have the one drive? [11:01] TheHodge: If someone else hasn't already said, .local domain in Linux can be a problem if avhi (or a service by a similar name) is running. I had to kill that service on my install so that unbuntu would play nice with my Windows domain. [11:01] Hello , I need help please , i would like to kill process from php , i created script with this line : exec("kill `ps axuf | grep socket_server |head -1 | awk '{ print $2 }'`"); when i run the script from the terminal (php script.php) its working fine , but its not working from the apache server ? [11:01] gordonjcp: ok thanks but i have a new problem im trying a new emu but it says its not there what could be causing this http://i27.tinypic.com/10ylxys.jpg [11:01] st [11:02] why doesnt sudo apt-get build-dep program doesnt work? Just gives me that build dependecies could not be satisfied [11:02] no one believes me... but I'm serious... [11:02] kate_mins, Is there some reason you are not using pkill ? [11:03] hey @ all [11:03] DistroJockey, that gnome-themes-extra you mentioned earlier, how do I get that? [11:04] rainabba thanks [11:04] * delcoyote hi [11:04] hi neyroh [11:04] hi.. [11:04] kate_mins, ps may give different output if it sees that stdin is coming from an interactive terminal ( though I would not expect it too ) [11:04] im just trying to look for something that will walk me through it a bit more step by step so I know what im doing :) [11:04] why doesnt sudo apt-get build-dep program doesnt work? Just gives me that build dependecies could not be satisfied [11:04] kate_mins, Does "pkill socket_server" work? [11:05] dlozarie, sudo apt-get install gnome-themes-extras [11:05] hello [11:05] DistroJockey, ah so that was what was missing-- "install". lol. kthx distrojockey! [11:05] Jordan_U: yes , i will try to add this command to my php script & check if its works from apache [11:05] dlozarie, sorry, forgot the s on extra on my first [11:05] Dr_Willis_: ok so when i type setup (tab it puts in hd0, which partition do I want i'm assuming the linux one? === cens0red is now known as Fulimat0r [11:06] hi does anybody know why this is happening http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t74/Saint_Belmont/myscreenshot.png [11:06] i have installed a raid1 (promise tx2000), now i have two devices /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc, however it should be a raid1, how can i find out what the raid1 device is? === Fulimat0r is now known as cens0red [11:06] oops wrong one sorry [11:06] dlozarie, you will need to patch Darklooks slightly though [11:06] conb123: weird [11:06] sorry [11:06] my computer stopped by itself Oo [11:07] DistroJockey, okay. :D [11:07] I didnt do anything [11:07] conb123: is it possible that the fwnes file in your directory there is really a script, with a path to something that doesn't exist? [11:07] zelrikriando, 'puters do that. ;) [11:07] hi does anybody know why this is happening http://i27.tinypic.com/10ylxys.jpg [11:07] dlozarie, it s ubuntu's fault [11:07] Jordan_U: not working :( , when i run the script from the command line (php script.php) its working , but when i run the script from the browser (using apache server) its not working, its seems that there is no user rights to the apache to use kill or pkill commands ? [11:07] gordonjcp: yes it could be ill check it out [11:07] kate_mins, It may have rights to use the commands but no rights to kill that process [11:08] zelrikriando, orly? specifically, how? [11:08] Jordan_U: how i can solve this problem ? [11:08] dlozarie, it just shutted down... [11:09] zelrikriando, uh-huh. and how can you tell Ubuntu is at fault? :) [11:09] I was watching a video on internet...then my OS decided that it was time to sleep [11:09] dlozarie, my hardware works fine :p [11:09] dlozarie, you will need to edit /usr/share/themes/Darklooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc and change @tooltip_bg_color and @tooltip_fg_color to @tooltips_bg_color and @tooltips_fg_color [11:10] kate_mins, This is an interesting security issue and at this point you should be careful what you do because you could create a vulnerability that would extend the damage that can be done if your script is exploited [11:10] Dr_Willis_: ok wth windows is still starting up [11:10] zelrikriando, lol and you're sure it's not some program in Ubuntu and not Ubuntu itself? [11:10] I installed the newest version of flgrx but seems intall has some problems it seems that everything that uses glx will have a segmentation fault. The biggest problem this causes is video won't play. Anyone know how to fix this? [11:10] DistroJockey, kthx. [11:10] dlozarie, which program? [11:11] dlozarie, you're welcome :) [11:11] Jordan_U: its for local use :) (i am run the script on computer which not connected to the net - development computer) [11:12] Hey! How can i quickly concatenate multiple audio tracks into one long file? [11:12] dlozarie, I just had pidgin FF and xchat opened [11:12] ok i don't think ubuntu is going to run on my machine [11:12] any way to get nm-applet 0.7 installed on Hardy? [11:13] kate_mins, Ahh, then make a setuid script which is owned by a user which has rights to kill the process and contains only "#!/bin/sh pkill socket_server" [11:13] Does using Envy ever fix problems with Fglrx? [11:13] zelrikriando, hmm. has this ubuntu crash happened more than once? or, can you replicate the shutdown? [11:14] how can i use "cd" command in terminal, if the folder name has a spacebar in it? [11:14] bartmon: try importing the tracks in audacity [11:14] dlozarie, first time [11:14] zelrikriando, and it hasn't happened again since? [11:15] poisonkiller: either cd "/a b/c d/e f" or with \ in it [11:15] DistroJockey, /usr/share/ doesn't exist? [11:15] ronin12345, Yes, it sometimes does help because it usually installs a newer version that may have fixed the bug you are experiencing [11:15] like... cd /a \b/c \d/ [11:15] DistroJockey, scratch that. found it. :) [11:15] dlozarie, good :) [11:15] tillux: Thanks, I've done so already. Now I just don't know how to make tem consecutive and not parallel [11:15] poisonkiller: or, the easiest way, just start writing the directory name, then hit TAB to complete it ;) [11:16] tillux: thanks, that did the trick [11:16] DistroJockey, uhm "You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again." ? [11:16] bartmon: use the ... i don't know what it's called in english... something like time-shifting-tool ;D [11:16] hi guys... [11:17] how can i skin my ubuntu? [11:17] dlozarie, yeah, you will need to edit it with sudo [11:17] or put a theme in it? [11:17] bartmon: it is located in the toolbar next to the record button [11:17] dlozarie, make a copy first just incase [11:17] why doesnt sudo apt-get build-dep program doesnt work? Just gives me that build dependecies could not be satisfied!!!!!! [11:17] This is making me crazy! [11:17] bartmon: that one, that looks like a resize-cursor [11:17] DistroJockey, okay. [11:18] how do I edit it with sudo? [11:18] andycan: funny ^^. well, did you already do apt-get build-essential ? [11:18] dlozarie, gksudo gedit /usr/share etc [11:18] kate_mins, Actually scratch that, I forgot that shell scripts cannot be setuid :) [11:18] andycan: you might need to manually resolve dependencies [11:18] dlozarie, via alt+f2 [11:18] DistroJockey, oh..okay thanks. :D [11:19] dlozarie, no problem :) [11:19] tillux: thanks, that seems to work! :) [11:20] hmmm, weird... I ran sudo edit usr/share/themes/Darklooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc in terminal and it says no write permission [11:20] dlozarie, use alt+f2 and gksudo gedit [11:21] dlozarie, and /usr [11:21] dlozarie: what do you want to do? [11:21] Starnestommy: I have to manually run .configure until i get all dependencies? Also it doesnt tell the exact package name to get [11:21] tillux, we just fixing Darklooks bug [11:21] * afallenhope cleans the wax out of his ears so he can hear the faint strains of “Friends Don't Let Friends Dial” by Plain White T's from Every Second Counts «amarok_xchat - 1.4» [11:21] oops sorry [11:21] dlozarie, no [11:22] andycan: just tell me what it says it needs and I'll try to figure out which package is needed [11:22] dlozarie, I am suspecting the flash video I was watching...not sure [11:22] kate_mins, You could create a simple c program that does system("pkill socket_server") and make that setuid there is probably a simpler way someone more knowledgeable can give but that should work [11:22] tillux: Ugh, I have like 60 tracks to do this with. Is there any tool which does this timeshifting automatically? === TheCellist42 is now known as [sam] === [sam] is now known as TheCellist42 [11:23] Starnestommy: No thats ok. IT needs glib but its a hell to find it in synaptic because the search results gives me over 100 results [11:23] andycan: it probably wants libglib2.0-dev [11:23] test [11:23] Jordan_U: thanks , i got it to work [11:23] :) [11:24] kate_mins, How out of curiosity? === TheCellist42 is now known as [Cellist] [11:24] Starnestommy: isnt there a command for .configure or make that will check the dependencies and install them? [11:24] DistroJockey, gksudo edit usr/share/themes/Darklooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc, still can't save. [11:24] dlozarie, you need a / infront of usr [11:25] andycan: apt-get build-dep should do it, but if it doesn't you'll need to manually install dependencies [11:25] dlozarie, and I would use gedit instead of edit [11:25] DistroJockey, oh. okay, tnx. :D [11:26] Jordan_U: BRB [11:26] dlozarie, np [11:26] andycan, You can look at the files which the configure script asks for and find the package which contains them with apt-file [11:27] DistroJockey, sorry to be bugging ya, but still can't save man. :( [11:27] dlozarie, ok, sec [11:28] hey how can I fix the [fail] that I get when I boot [11:28] zelrikriando: what else does it say with that [fail]? [11:28] Starnestommy, I cannot write things down fast [11:28] we have an ubuntu server (192.168.1.10) and i use a notebook to access this server (192.168.1.120) if in the office, SSH and remote login in XDMP. out of office i use VPN (which works), but i can't access the remote features of the server any more. maybe because over VPN the notebook has a 192.168.100.5 address? what do i have to change on the server? something in /etc/host.allowed? [11:29] HI, does anybody have the rt2500 wlan chip running with xen?? [11:29] dlozarie, gksudo gedit /usr/share/themes/Darklooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc askes for a password and lets me save it [11:29] zelrikriando: try pressing ctrl+alt+F1 to look at the system console, then use ctrl+alf+F7 to go back to the desktop [11:30] DistroJockey, okay Imma try it. [11:30] humm. the guys over there at #winehq are not really helpful...I just want to apply the patches from http://repo.or.cz/w/wine/hacks.git to the wine source and build it... "read man patch". funny [11:30] hi. maybe someone can give me a little hint: i've two hard disks, one with a windows mbr and one with a grub mbr. both work, if i chose them as default boot device in my bios. now i want to configure grub to load my windows system, on the other hard disk. hd0 is the linux hard disk, hd1 has to be the windows hard disk (i figured, since, in my linux system, sda5 is my linux partition, and sdb1 is win). i added the following entries to my menu.lst: t [11:30] itle Win, rootnoverify (hd1, 0), makeactive, chainloader +1. it does not work. grub tells me "Starting up." if i chose the windows entry, but then nothing happens. what am i doing wrong? [11:30] Starnestommy, then?? [11:31] zelrikriando: look for any messages in the system console that have [fail] in them [11:31] DistroJockey, it works! apparently I'd only typed in sudo and not gksudo. thanks for the time. now, to apply the theme... [11:31] dlozarie, :) [11:31] Starnestommy, how [11:31] when i go to System, Add/remove.. im actually opening wich program ? synaptic ? [11:31] zelrikriando: ctrl+alt+f1 [11:32] Starnestommy, then? [11:32] zelrikriando: or try looking through the output of dmesg [11:32] Oo [11:32] I need help with my conky [11:32] Paulao: /usr/bin/gnome-app-install [11:33] When I try to add conky weather to my conky, I get sort of streched window [11:33] What could be wrong [11:33] hi what's the difference b/w /mnt and /media ?? [11:33] DistroJockey, halp again! lol sorry for being so annoyin so I go to appearance and then install but it says index.theme aint a valid theme. [11:33] the_eraser: /media is automatically managed, but /mnt isn't [11:34] Starnestommy: thx :) [11:34] when i go to System, Add/remove.. im actually opening wich program ? synaptic ? [11:34] Paulao: yes and no... the program you are opening is /usr/bin/gnome-app-install [11:34] Paulao: it's not synaptic [11:34] dlozarie, what I did was install gnome-themes-extras then dragged and dropped the Jungle.tar.gz from where I downloaded it onto that window [11:35] dlozarie, after selecting Darklooks [11:35] tillux thanks... apt-get and aptitude they come from wich distro ? [11:35] Paulao debian package managers [11:35] Paulao: I don't know... debian? [11:36] Paulao: apt-get and aptitude originally came from debian, but ubuntu also has them because it is based on debian [11:36] Starnestommy i see.. what the difference between them ? [11:36] Hey guys im having a few problems with my Ubuntu. I can't set destop backgrounds from the internet for some reason...also I cannot change my resolution. Please help..thanks === cens0red is now known as NatSwatter [11:37] Paulao: aptitude is a bit bigger, but it has an interactive console-based interface, has some extra functions, and is better at resolving conflicts [11:37] Paulao Aptitude will install recommends along with the actual package you are installing. apt-get will not.. both track dependencies [11:39] how do I completely uninstall the ati drivers so i can try and start again? === NatSwatter is now known as cens0red [11:40] hello im new to ubuntu (xubuntu) or even linux and just want to say that if you are not a gamer it rocks =) thx for this OS [11:40] ronin12345: maybe you can "sudo apt-get remove" some package and then install it again? or maybe it's sufficient to just do "apt-get install --reinstall package_name" (i've not tested that with graphics drivers though, anything could happen ;> ) [11:41] Anyone have input on recovering two partitions that seem to have vanished into thin air? (well, at least as far as gparted is concerned) [11:42] hello [11:42] Claw6: since "wine" is final (version 1.0), a lot of games can be run with linux, sometimes even faster than with windows ;) [11:43] anybody here on this fine sunday after noon? [11:43] ronin12345: sudo apt-get purge drivername [11:43] lots of people here [11:43] dlozarie, any luck? btw: here's the clean background image - http://i30.tinypic.com/21bukhg.png [11:43] loz: and it's still morning [11:43] SGBX7 does sudo fdisk -l show them [11:43] tillux: Hey what is wine please and like what games are we talking here please? [11:43] depends which continent your on... [11:43] !appdb [11:43] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [11:43] Jack_Sparrow: fdisk -l was having no effect [11:43] i know tilux but emulation is always a problem [11:43] DistroJockey, nope, since I dloaded the gnome-themes-extras via terminal, I'm not sure I have a .tar.gz file. [11:43] Jack_Sparrow: from the livecd [11:43] tillux: You could just have made my day if this means I can run the sims on linux! xD [11:44] on my eeepc 701 i cant even run starcraft (1998) [11:44] has anyone got a nvidia 8500 gt working on Ubuntu s latest distro? [11:44] starbucks: WINE: Wine Is Not an Emulator ... is there a trigger for wine in here? [11:44] SGBX7 you may need all generic ide option on command line [11:44] mine works in a fashion [11:44] i have 8600gt it works [11:44] starbucks you can run it =) [11:44] but i cant get my FN buttons to work [11:44] dlozarie, the extra themes should be fine and listed in the System - Preferences - Appearance area. Then you get the Jungle.tar.gz from www.gnome-looks.org [11:45] if you have the performance for emulation [11:45] marvolge: have you got the appearence tweaks on yours, ? [11:45] !keys [11:45] Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [11:45] claw6: really!?! [11:45] tillux: What do you mean by emulator? [11:45] loz, Have you tried System -> Administration -> Hardware drivers? [11:45] tillux: I have the games if thats what you mean [11:46] Jack_Sparrow: Do you know of the command off-hand? (and how to boot the liveCD to it, for that matter) [11:46] starbucks: appdb.winehq.org lists all applications tested with wine. platinum is the best rating, garbage the worst ;) [11:46] !wine [11:46] 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. [11:46] Jordan_U: yes, and my whole screen resolution is wrong, i have really large fonts problem when i use the pilot.... [11:46] oh, I found darklooks! man, it IS dark! [11:46] tillux: Alright thanks :) [11:46] some of them work like suspendToRam, but brightness is not changeable [11:46] dlozarie, once you have the Jungle.tar.gz , use Appearance to select Darklooks and then drag and drop the file in that window [11:47] loz, The pilot? [11:47] or WLAN on/off [11:47] SGBX7 To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" but in your case all_generic_ide might be needed [11:47] Jordan_U: sorry i meen the fast graphic driver [11:47] when livecd asked me about language in the console i could change my brightness, but later it became impossible [11:48] loz, Are you getting full resolution but just really big fonts or are you getting a low resolution ( or both :) ? [11:48] !agave [11:48] Factoid agave not found [11:49] Guys do programs like daemon tools work with wine please so I don't always need to enter the CD when I change games please? [11:49] starbucks, not really. Game COpy protection can be a HUGE issue with Wine. [11:49] starbucks /join #winehq for help with wine [11:49] Starnestommy, http://paste2.org/p/41609 [11:49] starbucks, I know alcohol 120% works [11:49] alright thanks [11:50] whats alchohol? [11:50] other than the drink lol [11:50] google is your friend [11:50] somebody has a 8600gt with 100% working FN keys? [11:50] marvloge, you are saying your Video card - is affecting your Machines Function Keys on the keyboard? [11:51] i guess its because the nvidia driver, because nv works fine [11:51] marvloge, thats... weird. [11:51] especially the brightness control [11:51] marvloge, is this on a laptop? [11:52] yes, samsung r700 [11:52] Jordan_U: when i first upgrading to 8.04, i had really small barely visable fonts with the default driver, so i then used some kind of magnifying tool that i downloaded, because i tried using the dpi fix, but to no avail, on firefox, i have used another dpi fix, so that the fonts are the right size, but i wanted to use the nice visual effects in the appearance section, hence using the graphic card accelerator driver, but then i get mas [11:52] sive fonts, and a very blury resolution, does this make any sense? [11:52] marvloge, be a interesting test to seeif compiz on/off affects it. or a different window manager. [11:53] marvloge, thats a very very weird bug. I wonder if its not somthng to do with the laptop memory/bios/irq/dma ect... [11:53] or maybe this is an acpi issue, but when i close my screen it turns to standby [11:53] http://paste2.org/p/41609 [11:53] dialman: yep. [11:53] woops [11:53] so i guess acpi works [11:53] the sound is crappy, but it is resolved with setting ALSA PCM on front:0 to about three fourths (in Volume Control). however this only works until reboot. please help [11:53] loz, Sounds like you are not actually successfully using the accelerated nvidia driver, if your card is very new you may need a newer driver [11:53] marvloge, ive seen VERY weird things happen due to acpi/apci/ type issues [11:54] me too ;) [11:54] Jordan_U: any ideas, is this a new card, i bought this pc about 1 week ago [11:54] (05:53:06 AM) ubuntu9732841: hi guys [11:54] (05:53:14 AM) ubuntu9732841: i have magicrescue installed [11:54] (05:53:42 AM) ubuntu9732841: and i was wondering if anyone has the know-how to guide me through making a recipe to recover my data [11:55] marvloge what do you bought a 8600 gt [11:55] if you use linux ? [11:55] Jordan_U: i have googled this, and some people seem to have similar problems [11:55] loz: I did have the same problems some time ago, too [11:55] loz, Do you know what model nvidia card you have? [11:55] its a samsung r700 with a NVIDIA 8600GT card [11:55] ubuntu9732841, with a name like magicrescue shouldn't it do everything by it's self? [11:56] DistroJockey: funny but dont judge a package by its name [11:56] Jordan_U: i have a nvidia 8500 GT [11:56] What's the default login for the ubuntu 8.04 livecd? [11:56] but I've got another graphics card (7800gt) and another monitor (phillips 220EW) [11:56] Jordan_U: i have always had ATI before [11:56] !login [11:56] Factoid login not found [11:56] !defaultlogin [11:56] Factoid defaultlogin not found [11:56] its like the ext3grep package doesnt even have grep function [11:56] zaggynl: don't fish with the bot please [11:56] zaggynl: by default, it logs you in automatically under the username ubuntu [11:56] i have installed the newest driver from nvidia page, but brightness (smartdimmer??) dows not work because nvclock doesnt support the 8xxx sereis [11:57] what is the reccomended 3d effect app for hardy heron? compiz fusion seems to be the most common [11:57] does that run in conjunction with xgl?

[12:05] ahh oka === cow_ganteng is now known as co_cari_cew_Stia [12:05] SGBX7 a bit yes [12:05] Jack_Sparrow: I think I figured out what might be going on here, but I'm at a loss for how to work around it [12:06] tilux: i used the default driver from the cd,i installed ubuntu 7.10 and upgraded to 8.04, the graphics worked of on first install, but when i upgraded via terminal, my fonts went really small,now when i try to use the nvidia latest driver cards in SYSTEM-ADMINISTRATION-LATEST CARDS, my screen resolution is terrible, and i get really large fonts [12:06] Jack_Sparrow: right before this mess happened, I was fooling around in grub--hiding partitions [12:06] ubuntu desktop 8.04 cd checks out fine [12:06] Jack_Sparrow: I think they've locked into hidden mode, and now seeing as I can't access grub, they're stuck that way [12:06] firefox won't start, and if i use the command to launch, it just hangs... nothing. Any thoughts? [12:06] hey [12:06] Jack_Sparrow: Do you know if hiding a partition in grub can do something like that? [12:06] I'm having problems with my wireless [12:06] its not wanting to connect to the network after suspend [12:06] SGBX7 what tutorial were you using to hide them [12:07] Jack_Sparrow: I broke down and RTFM. It was ... here : http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/gnu/grub/html_chapter/grub_4.html [12:07] Any idea how to purge all the deb files from apt-get? I am sure it stores them because it doesnt request that I download anything when installing new programs [12:07] SitUbuntuSit: see if the fault is in your user config: 'mv ~/.mozilla ~/mozilla-backup' and try again [12:07] SGBX7 Please dont use rtm even when directed at yourself [12:08] whileimhere, sudo apt-get clean [12:08] Jack_Sparrow: I basically hid 0,0 0,1 0,2 and 0,3 (I believe..?) [12:08] okay will try that nwo [12:08] whileimhere /var/cache/apt/archives [12:08] About Grub : is is enough to comment that line "hiddenmenu" ? [12:08] Jack_Sparrow: Sorry, my bad [12:08] to get a menu [12:08] soundray: I've sudo apt-get remove --purge and then then reinstalled. then I deleted .mozilla. still, nothing. [12:09] soundray: I'm not really a newb either. darnest thing. [12:09] Jack_Sparrow: Can you think of any reasonable way to get into grub to unhide these? [12:09] SitUbuntuSit: perhaps you'll see where it hangs when you run 'strace firefox' (brace for lots of output) [12:09] soundray: epiphany won't run either. nor does firefox 2. okay. i'll try. [12:09] Jack_Sparrow: Without the use of additional hardware, that is... [12:09] SGBX7 trying to read what you did to see about undoing it.. but I dont see anything about hiding partitions on that page yet [12:10] Jack_Sparrow: Down there at 'DOS/Windows' [12:10] networkManager or wicd ? [12:11] Jack_Sparrow: It's basically the simple command of "hide (0,1)" and so forth [12:11] SitUbuntuSit: there must be a common cause then [12:11] Jack_Sparrow: The corresponding command is unhide (hdx,x) [12:11] catch ya later guys. been on the channel since noon, must get break. :D [12:12] SGBX7 did you add it to your menu list or just run it manually [12:12] hello, i installed xubuntu-desktop on ubuntu just to see how xubuntu looks like. but i made my choice and would like to stick whit ubuntu. but where gdm is there now is some xubuntu theme or replacement vor gdm how can i remove this? its no xdm i checked [12:12] Not getting any sound in flash player in firefox. Ideas? [12:12] Jack_Sparrow: Added it to my menu list. It actually worked quite well, up until the point I couldn't get back into grub... [12:13] " Unhide the partition partition by clearing the hidden bit in its partition type code." [12:13] SGBX7 are you running a livecd now? [12:13] Jack_Sparrow: Yes [12:13] tingle: xubuntu uses gdm as well. Just select the appearance through System-Admin-Login Window [12:13] please someone.... ive had this issue for like 2 days now... after 8-12 hours when I woke up my computer freezes I think ,because theres a black screen and I have to reboot to get my scren back, how do I solve this?

Is there anyone in here able to say something about ati-graphics-cards and two monitors / tv ? [12:19] Finu1: me, too, but I still don't swear all the time [12:19] SGBX7 How did you try to mount it [12:19] Jack_Sparrow: e.g. it says "Partition 4 does not end on cylinder boundary." -- it doesn't even see them as existing [12:19] O_O i didn't swear ^^ [12:19] sorry if i have [12:20] Finu1: yes, you did.

[13:41] Jewfro, and reinstall is really not an option for me right now... my /etc/fstab is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/22107/ [13:42] does anyone here use gnat? [13:42] Jewfro, thanks again for the link; that looks like an excellent tutorial. [13:42] milaks, that message isn't your error - you said you do have terminal? just no x? [13:42] quintus: I dont know m8.....try these or search the site som more http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsCheck.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false [13:42] milaks: looks ok (although refering to the partitons via UUID is considered a safer option) .. from what i can read in the first paste, it states that it can't find the resume image .. do you have resume=/dev/hda9 added to your kernel in grub ? check /boot/grub/menu.lst [13:43] okay thnx [13:43] j #astro.ga.us.dal.net [13:43] quintus: np, hope it helps [13:43] i type "sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion" into console but not found the compiz-fusion PACKET [13:43] Jewfro,yes, only terminal no X, and it still says it's 7.10 (not even an option in grub while starting) [13:44] quick question. Pulseaudio does not autostart for me. How to make it? [13:44] i'm trying to figure out how to manually change my HP DV 6xxx series laptop's leds manually. They do function correctly so there must be a config file somewhere to set on or off/color change right? [13:44] donda, I'm not familiar with apt on CD [13:44] glitsj16, I'll paste /boot/grub/menu.lst in a sec... [13:44] chori: add "pulseaudio -D" to your user session [13:44] milaks: I see from your fstab that you have a seperate home partition. there may be settings left from your last update that are cousing the problem. make a barnd new user and log in using it. [13:44] milaks: ok, no rush [13:45] does ubuntu;s standard Movie Player not have the ability to play videos over a network > [13:45] schnootop, depends on what you mean by 'over a network' [13:45] can anyone tell me why when im in terminal trying to run a program i have just built and i type the program name it says command not found, eventhough the program is right there is front of me when i type ls [13:45] tom___, use ./command [13:45] glitsj16,here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/22109/ [13:45] tom___, the current diretory is NOT in the default path. [13:45] i type "sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion" into console but not found the compiz-fusion PACKET !! [13:45] im trying to play a movie from my windows box. Movie Player wont play it but VLC will [13:45] how i get the fire , rain etc..... [13:45] milaks: ok checking .. [13:45] milaks - are you sure the update completed? [13:46] and its been with heaps of movies [13:46] yoyoned, that was the first thing I did, move old dir and created empty one. Still the same [13:46] Jewfro, yes, I was watching the process [13:46] schnootop, you need to clarify a bit. You are accessing a samba share from linux? or from windows? or are you refering to a stream from some web site? [13:47] milaks, odd, and beyond me skill level - but you have a terminal - so it should be recoverable [13:47] Jewfro,it returned back to KDE (as normal), icon in taskbar appeared that said I need to reboot for upgrade to be finished which I did [13:47] laurentiu install ccsm [13:47] !ccsm > laurentiu [13:47] what is ccsm? [13:47] sorry, im trying to watch my video on my ubuntu machine over a network on a windows server [13:47] wenas [13:48] Jewfro, I guess I need to stick with Windows for some time, dont have a time for full reinstall, setting up... thanks for your help [13:48] schnootop, gnome 'browses' window shares. this can confuse some players. You could mount the shares locally and all apps will see the share as a local directory. [13:48] schnootop, i tend to use the 'fusesmb' tool to mount my whole windows network to a single local directory [13:48] ahh ok i might look into it. Thankyou :) [13:48] schnootop, or you could specifically mont the share someplace. [13:49] milaks: try adding "resume=/dev/hda9" at the end of line 132, that adds the swap partition as resume location (also usefull for hibernation btw) .. you seem to have memtest as default (line 14 --> default 7) .. is this the behaviour you want ? [13:50] glitsj16, default boot option is Windows atm [13:50] in add/remove programs desktop effects(compiz setup)is bifate [13:50] what i do now? [13:50] glitsj16, I'm going to try what you proposed me about resume now, and get back to tell you results, thanks for effort glitsj [13:51] milaks: line 14 oints to default 7, the entrees start counting from 0 [13:51] Ugh.. there is still something very much wrong in my box - many gnome programs won't display properly, e.g. System/Preferences/Sound [13:51] Just an empty window, nothing more [13:51] milaks: so windows is default 8 i think in your case [13:51] I've setup blueproximity with my ericsson w810i, but the distance readings arent really consistent and I'm having trouble calibrating it. can anybody offer me a some tips? [13:52] glitsj16, no, when I reboot I get windows as default, here let me check again... [13:52] milaks: correction: my mistake, it's set to boot the wiondows one indeed [13:52] pfffffffff [13:52] nobody :( [13:52] glitsj16,it's ok, I'm going to try chaning that line about resume... [13:52] arrrr [13:53] laurentiu, ccsm is the advanced compiz config tool. [13:53] laurentiu PLease stop.. you were linked to the instructions. [13:53] milaks: ok, depending on the size of your swap it could still be unable to resume the image (no clue how big that is) .. see you later [13:53] srry jack i don`t understand [13:53] linked ??? :| [13:53] !ccsm > laurentiu [13:53] "!ccsm" [13:54] laurentiu, read the message the bot sent you and go LOOK at the web site it mentions [13:54] !ccsm [13:54] if the bot is awake... [13:54] laurentiu You should see a private message from ubottu on what to do [13:54] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5237868#post5237868 <-- someone please help me :/ Re: woke up, pc had shut down, help!!!! [13:54] ccsm is To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'.

[13:58] hiptobecubic, i dont belive there is any special 'file' i do seem to recall some commands ages and ages ago that could make them blink and stuff. [13:59] Dr_Willis, that's kind of what i'm looking for. any ideas? [13:59] ~/.bashrc includes a line: "# ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells." I do not understand in what situations ~/.bashrc will be executed and in what situations not. [14:00] hiptobecubic, not really.. been 10+ yrs since i last saw anyone care about that stuff [14:00] hiptobecubic, you want the caps lock to blink out morse code? :) [14:00] Hello, why did vncserver package disappear from Hardy ? [14:00] please how to make pc to pc call via pidgin [14:00] hiptobecubic: numlockx turns off/on numlock from the terminal [14:01] Dr_Willis, haha great. No i'm looking to make it indicate something useful, like mail [14:01] ashish_ skype would be a better choice [14:01] i don't think you can w/ pidgin ashish_ [14:01] sudo apt-get install skype [14:01] if you want it [14:01] ashish_, pidjin can't do that. [14:01] !skype [14:01] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto [14:01] ashish pidgin doesn't currently support voice/video [14:01] hiptobecubic, one of those usb lcd screens are handy. :) like the one in my G15 keyboard [14:01] is it reasonable to have a machine run ubuntu on a single 250gb partition, or is it better to divide it? [14:01] KrimZon split it up [14:02] how to call pc to pc [14:02] using yahoo messenger [14:02] krimZon depends if its your only os [14:02] hiptobecubic, http://paranoidlinux.org/content/package-selection-meeting-part-1 mentions somthing on caps lock blinking morse code [14:02] Dr_Willis, thanks looking now. [14:03] well currently i have something like a 60gb ubuntu, 60gb winxp and 80gb ntfs data partition, but i was thinking of shrinking the xp part because i never use it, and merging the data with the ubuntu partition [14:03] how do i get apt-get to show what packages are available for upgrade before upgrading [14:03] glitsj16, I addedd "resume=/dev/hda9" but it's the same... should I try making root to point to real root partition and not to swap? [14:03] KrimZon format your data partition for use as sep /home [14:03] glitsj16, /var is on root partition, so maybe that "resume image" is on it [14:04] ashish_ you can't [14:04] anyone here from clusterresources [14:04] milaks: that's worth a try yes [14:04] Hello, how do I connect to a Hardy machine using vnc ?

[14:08] there does not seem to be ndiswrapper etc that I am used to [14:08] Can brasareo or whatever makde dvd player compatible dvd's? [14:08] Dr_Willis: SecondLife is one of the programms that have mysteriously stopped working on my Ubuntu just now :-( [14:09] so, who knows how to get wifi drivers working? [14:09] Dr_Willis: Yes im refering to the sims 2 [14:09] Also most of the stuff under 'Preferences' seems a goner [14:09] Sa[i]nT, normally one uses some Other tools to create dvd video files, that you then burn with whatevre you like. The DVD burning programs normally just do the burning. Not all the 'all in one does it all' conversion [14:09] Dr_Willis: I can't find anything to play the sims 2 with so im now looking for games which are like it not secondlife though [14:10] <[0x41]> I've created a partition with cfdisk, hda3, and i want to set it as / . how would i do that ?

[14:12] n3gl1: what kind of wifi card do you have? [14:13] I had said that I would never waste another blank, this is the first distro/pc combo of ubuntu in 5 years that has actually run with my gfx cards. [14:13] 0x41: you will need to change /etc/fstab to point to the UUID of /dev/hda3 (UUID's can be found via "sudo blkid") and add in the other fstab params you might want for the filesystem etc. [14:13] broadcom it's a bcmwl driver [14:13] I als use some zd1211 usb units [14:13] !game > starbucks [14:14] Dr_Willis, where is says -r "no reopen console, what does that mean?"

[14:15] hey people, a question does anyone know if there is a application that shows me and can edit what modules load at boot? [14:15] legend2440, not sure what he really wanted... just having fun [14:16] hiptobecubic, the blink man pages state n - numlock, s = scroll lock, c = capslock [14:16] legend2440, yeah just having fun really. see what there is to see you know? [14:17] is it possible to control access to usb devices in linux? example: I want to block all USB IDs except for 046d:c51a === nam_ is now known as fascade [14:17] mindframe: it should be possible [14:18] screw this, at this point there is an 80-90% chance that this system is going to get formatted and never try ubuntu again [14:18] I must have wifi [14:18] I know how to do it via ndis [14:19] it can be done on mepis [14:19] soo, [14:19] sounds like youre having a rough time... what wifi card? [14:19] didn't I say broadcom bcmwl43 at least 3 times so far? and zydas 1211 [14:20] wow bud i just joined the channel [14:20] I get a rtfm link from the bot that talks about ndiswrapper, that is not installed / default on 8.08 [14:20] n3gl1: 8.08? [14:20] gordonjcp, dont nitpick [14:20] you know what he means :) [14:20] whatever the horny hedgehog or whatever, latest is [14:20] n3gl1: you can install it with apt [14:21] mindframe: no, I don't, actually [14:21] HAHA! well i don't recommend using blink too much [14:21] "it" ? [14:21] hehe okay [14:21] n3gl1: ndiswrapper 1.9 [14:21] is it typical in the alternate install for the "Resizing partition" step to sit at 0% for a long time (this is an oldish system: Thinkpad R40 with 256M ram, etc.) [14:21] I tried apt-get install ndiskwrapper [14:21] !wifi [14:21] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [14:21] n3gl1, horny hedgehog is a much better name [14:21] let's see.. [14:21] yeah, that's the link [14:21] lots o shit about ndis [14:21] n3gl1: yeah, I just wanted to take a look myself [14:22] k [14:22] it's sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 [14:22] n3gl1: 32 or 64 bit? [14:22] 32 [14:22] although [14:22] Dr_Willis, my keyboard and mouse went nuts. pc speaker started screeching. i guess i can live without blinky lights lol [14:22] n3gl1: what wlan chip? [14:22] it's a amd dual core 64, but when I tried 64 bit stuff before, none of the apps were ready [14:22] BCMWL43 [14:22] (5th time) [14:22] that one doesn't need ndiswrapper anymore [14:23] and a zydas 1211 [14:23] n3gl1: which is odd -- i have the same and its default for me [14:23] that one neither [14:23] n3gl1: enable with restricted driver [14:23] ok, where/how is that hidden?

MP3's still work [15:26] DizzyDyn === dizzy is now known as DizzyDyn [15:26] Flynsarmy, killall pulseaudio [15:27] scunizi, hey that worked! thanks! what exactly did i just do? [15:28] Flynsarmy, you just killed the pulseaudio sound server that's new in Ubuntu with Hardy.. out of the box it doen't seem to be configured correctly on some machines.. [15:29] I've been messing with this a bit lately: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/ So far I recommend it to anyone that has to manage 1 or more boxes [15:30] scunizi, I now can't listen to mp3's in anything other than VLC and that's after a significant lag (and window turns black). Ideas? [15:30] Flynsarmy, type pulseaudio in a terminal [15:31] scunizi, That's pretty dodgy. i'll need to killall pulseaudio every time i want to play a game then start it back up afterwards? [15:32] hola? [15:32] hey anyone know how to increase the volume in ubuntu hardy? My volume control has to be cranked to hear it. [15:32] hi??? [15:32] Flynsarmy, I'm sure there's a way to configure it so you don't have to do that.. I just haven't figured out how yet.. I still don't have my mic working either and that is a pulseaudio issue. [15:33] alex_: I have the same prob with my Macbook Pro with OSX Leopard. You would think they would have fixed that issue with Tiger but no dice :( [15:33] Flynsarmy: you could "pasuspend " to get it outside of pulse, do you mean games via wine ? [15:33] scunizi, I was having the issue before i did this, but i just changed all options TO pulseaudio in the sound preferences so that sounds would work in flash player. how irritating [15:33] glitsj16, Both games via wine and regular gnome games (lbreakout2, supertux2) [15:33] can anyone recommend a good MSN client? [15:34] !msn [15:34] The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/GaimHowto) supports MSN, Jabber, AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ and IRC. See also !Kopete [15:34] Flynsarmy: you might want to check http://blog.paulbetts.org/index.php/2007/05/27/make-wine-and-pulseaudio-get-along/ for those wine games [15:34] HeN, Pidgin or emesene if you want one real close to windows version of msn [15:34] would be nice if they figured that out. [15:34] HeN: also emesene y amsn [15:34] HeN, neither support webcam. if you really want webcam you need aMSN [15:34] Hello, i have setup samba as PDC and working but have not been able to find anything in how to authenticate users to Samba in Linux Desktops any help or redirection is greatly appreciated [15:34] hey everyone [15:34] I dont need webcam, thanks [15:34] Hi, is there any simple way to copy directory recursively in alphabetical order? [15:35] im having a bit of a problem with the nvidia driver, [15:35] HeN: Have you tried Pidgin? http://www.pidgin.im/ [15:35] Jupp3, dare we ask why alphabetical order matters? [15:35] Twister: What kind of problem? I just sorted my problem out [15:35] hi. it appears I can't use vga=711 with hardy alternate, it says mode undefined... any ideas? [15:35] tshine, pidgin won't connect to msn [15:35] Dr_Willis: Some devices don't sort files automatically, but rather use the order they are on the card [15:35] Guys my question again. i would appreciate it if anyone gave my any answer. I m using a simulation program called Linda. I m running it on my ubuntu using Wine. I want to automize extracting the result from the simulator. So i want to activate the simulator press ctrl +c activate an editor and press ctrl + v. I already did that using autoit on a windows pc and i m wondering if something like... [15:35] ...this is possible in ubuntu. [15:36] Hi i'm getting a "run-init /sbin/init: permission denied" when i boot ubuntu. I "chmod -R 644 /" and then "cmod -R 755" /bin /sbin /usr/sbin /usr/bin [15:36] i have downloaded the one off the nvidia site, i close x, run the nvidia installer, restart x and it works great, but when i restart the computer [15:36] scunizi: yes it will. I'm using it on one of my win boxes [15:36] it goes back to low graphics mode [15:36] Hey where do I get the avant manager thing please and how do I install it? [15:36] if I have c"mod -r 755 /" i can boot in to they system [15:36] HELLO [15:36] Dr_Willis: So I'd want to "fake" alphabetical sort === Guest1617503385 is now known as USaGi === USaGi is now known as ALDoGaNs [15:37] my thoughts are that a module that is loading after it is affecting but i cant seem to find it (im just graspin at straws here as im kind of a linux newb [15:37] tshine, I'm sorry .. you're right.. It just doesn't have the features of amsn.. [15:37] starbucks, from synaptic package manager [15:37] leoboiko: is that vga=711 ? tried vga=791 ? [15:37] scunizi: Is it in there? [15:37] Twister: I just got the driver with restricted driver manager, or whatever it's called nowadays [15:38] Then it would work, except that it allowed only 320x240 or 640x480 screenmodes [15:38] starbucks, was the last time I loaded it up [15:38] scunizi: Alright thanks [15:38] ya jupp, that was the problem i had with the restricted driver [15:38] i have ubuntu 8.04 btw [15:39] Twister: After that I simply added the monitor frequencies to xorg.conf and after booting, I had it work in 1920x1200 [15:39] Same here [15:39] Guess that if it can't figure out working settings, it assumes the worse [15:39] Rather than potentially damage a monitor [15:39] hmm..i tried adding the monitor frequencies and it didnt work, maybe i didnt add the right frequencies [15:40] glitsj16: it worked, thanks! :D [15:40] leoboiko: no prob, thought that the vga=711 looked a bit strange ;) [15:40] Twister: In Section "Monitor"? [15:41] yea [15:41] i'm trying to run a command on an entire folder in bash. how can i do this? [15:41] Added vendor & model names aswell, although they probably aren't needed [15:41] i am using an eee pc with ubuntu installed, how do i find out what version of ubuntu i have?

[15:51] I would guess in tsome of te mesa-dev packages [15:51] BSliver: You can't [15:51] BSliver: Better use GL/gl.h instead [15:51] find / -iname "filename" -print [15:51] pucko-, but i write path to headers file of ssl. how can i ./configure? can i write to path in sources? [15:51] i neither have GL/gl.h [15:51] can somebody help me to play rmvb videos on my hardy 64bits?

[15:52] BSliver: Also remember that link library names are case sensitive aswell [15:52] BSliver: If your code has wrong header paths, they might be wrong aswell [15:53] #ubuntu-ro [15:53] hello [15:53] yes, i thought netbeans will automatically correct include file names (as i type) [15:53] user1_, the first lines after configures says it can't find the ld.so.conf files, so it can't find the dynamic libraries that you need to link against. [15:53] how do I make the F keys work on a mac keyboard without having to press the fn key? [15:53] glitsj16: Well I got as far as getting file list with find, then sorted it with sort [15:53] BSliver: then you need the mesa dev packages probably [15:54] wols, ive just installed it [15:54] thanks for the help, jupp3 and wols :) [15:54] BSliver: then use apt-file to see which package you need [15:54] yes, i used lower case letters, that was the problem, wols ;) [15:55] Jupp3: ok, is that's not a viable option for you doing it likie that ? can't say i immediately have better solutions [15:55] well, thanks [15:55] user1_, try reinstalling libc (don't really know though) [15:55] glitsj16: Well the problem was what to do with sorted list which contains both directories and files [15:55] glitsj16: But I think I figured out a solution now === Thomas1 is now known as ThomasHC [15:55] Which requires quite a bit of overwriting [15:56] hi. anyone able to tell me why i have to add a exception for every single certificate in FF3?

I'm currently getting cut off by ".." somewhere... any suggestions are welcome :) [16:30] [0x41], try #debian, this is not the debian support channel, sorry [16:30] <[0x41]> ubuntu is based on debian [16:30] <[0x41]> so.

Who can tell me where can i modify the boot loader options in hardy? [16:31] <[0x41]> oh it's definatly not the same, not half as many bigs [16:31] <[0x41]> bugs [16:31] not mean [16:31] but still there is no answer for sound problems in hardy [16:31] [0x41], they're still totally different operating systems, and you need to check in #debian [16:31] JFlash, you would have to force the installation of a 32 bit browser and force the installation of the 32 bit java [16:31] maybe I may not use hardy for now [16:31] JFlash, if i recall the option is -force on dpkg [16:31] hi everyone. Who can tell me where can i modify the boot loader options in hardy? [16:32] i've been told that the distributed firefox is 32bit already [16:32] ligemeget: not on hardy myself, so i'm not sure where the specific menu item is located, but look for 'removable drives and media' in there and change the behaviour to your needs [16:32] marpal i had (have) sound problems too, did you try to compile alsa? [16:32] JFlash, it says it's 64 bit on mine, go to help and about firefox [16:32] Iron: /boot/grub/menu.lst [16:32] Iron: If you comrortable try editing /boot/grub/menu.lst === ahmad is now known as Ahmad [16:32] thank you [16:32] glitsj16, yes I have found that menu, but strangely in the "Multimedia"-tab I can only set "Media Player" - there are no other boxes [16:33] i found on google that it says 86_64 but that doenst mean it's 64 bit [16:33] IIRC there used to be one with iPods below.... === Ahmad is now known as dahma [16:33] anyone has an idea how to start without compiz from console, since I cannot login into x ?

[16:35] Hirn: the login screen starts, x is running, but when logging in its all white, and the server crashes, and I am at the login screen again [16:35] yoyoned: thats not what i needed. I just need to change resolution of the boot screen - that with ubuntu logo and progress bar. Where can i do it? [16:35] ligemeget: i'm on xubuntu, don't know what app contromls that specific part of ubuntu [16:36] ligemeget: i'm looking if there's a gconf setting you could trigger, hang on [16:37] Iron: http://www.mepis.org/node/2992 [16:37] need help to fix samba [16:37] is there any gnome utility that control temperature and when temperature too high, slow down cpu...?

[16:37] whats the ubuntu doco team channel [16:37] apophis: into the startup? === tobias__ is now known as tobias [16:38] apophis, start it with X or xinit (the former should give you a blank X with an xterm), if you don't have anything overriding it in .xinit. or you could make a custum .xinit with only "exec twm" for instance. [16:38] amerinese: no, that's a motherboard operation [16:38] can someone explain to me why ls -R *~ doesn't work? [16:38] vox: huh? [16:38] sorry, i got scribus, but i can't open the pdf file i want.. is there smething i should do? thanks [16:39] Hirn: solved ;) ty [16:39] glitsj16, ok I'll wait [16:39] amenado, what are you trying to achieve ? [16:39] Iron: add VGA=773 to the end of the kernel line in grubs menu.lst, or whatever number is appropriate. [16:39] apophis: ok =) np. [16:39] and what the proper equivalent should be? also would the proper way to remove backup files in all subdirectories be rm -R *~ ? [16:39] hi there [16:39] im about to lose it, my entire pc froze [16:39] amenado, find path - name "*~" -exec rm {} \; [16:39] Hirn: obviously the update script changed the standard session... to something bad. I just missed that [16:39] ops, -name [16:40] asianCoolz: that is something done by the motherboard, not software [16:40] amerinese: sorry, mis-tabbed [16:40] yoyoned: thank you, i'll try it [16:40] vox, i using macbook pro, anything can be done on bios? [16:40] joaopinto do you know what i should do? [16:40] and vmware ubuntu [16:40] thanks. [16:40] asianCoolz: unsure [16:41] joaopinto, no idea, I am not sure you will be able to do that at all [16:41] ok [16:41] I need to scan for viruses a computer with no Internet connectivity. At first I thought to use ubuntu live CD but I also need a way to update the virus database: is it possible to 1) boot ubuntu onto an Internet connected computer, 2) update the virus database and 3) burn the ISO of the "updated" live CD? [16:41] phretor, please be aware that you only be able to scan, not to remove [16:42] hello [16:42] joaopinto: neither if I mount the filesystem in write mode? [16:42] phretor: you can download and burn a new version of knoppicilin, i think thats the one youre looking for [16:42] phretor, clamav only provides virus scanning [16:42] can someone help me solving that wine doesnt recognise all my memory? [16:42] phretor, Ubuntu is not the best tool for virus cleaning, please ask for a better option on ##windows [16:43] Hirn: and does this allow removal, too? [16:43] Is there a way to log uptime (beyone just one session)? so I can, for instance, see the longest uptime [16:43] i am new in this. how do i install programs from a third party locations? [16:43] ligemeget: i only find this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=713724 .. you might have seen it already, goodluck [16:45] thanks anyway :) === leche_ is now known as leche [16:45] lubo: depends how they distribute things. if it's just a tar, unzip it and look for an install script and run that from the terminal (./scriptname) - if they offer a .deb, get that and double-click it [16:45] ei where can I get some list of best applications (works well) in ubuntu hardy because i'm planning to reinstall it and don't want to update because I think there is something wrong when you update like it can affect the media application! [16:46] phretor: i dont know [16:46] oki Hirn, thanks anyways to you and joaopinto [16:46] !best | marpal [16:46] marpal: 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. [16:47] phretor: I thought the ntfs drivers on the LiveCD allowed writing. [16:47] I have a wireless problem. i have rt73usb drivers and Ubuntu 8.04 has recognized the wireless card automaticly. But it doesn't work full speed. I have a 1mbit connection but it only downloads with 50kb/s. I used many other sites and many other servers in Synaptic. I have also Windows Vista on other partition and wireless works perfectly [16:47] marpal, upgrades will not affect your media applications [16:47] the totem works great when i am not updating but when I install application. [16:47] Dusk_: welcome to linux [16:47] ciao [16:47] Oli``, it does, that is not the point [16:47] Oli``: yeh, but as joaopinto outlined, the issue is that clamav does not allow removal [16:48] Gohanx, lol [16:48] the last application that I installed was sopcast then it went wrong like no sounds in media [16:48] Dusk_, welcome to wifi ;) [16:48] can someone login to my box remotley and recover lost data? [16:48] Dusk_: ive spent at least 12 hours just to get my wireless working and lets just say its not exactly stable, and im using a dlink LINUX driver [16:48] Dusk_, no serious, what is the signal strength? has it worked better before? how many wifi networks are in near proximity? [16:48] linux - signal = 20-70% windows = 100% [16:48] phretor & joaopinto : well how about downloading and installing avg into the live environment? [16:48] Dusk_, and have you shut down your microwave oven? ;) [16:49] but its not linux fault === kendall is now known as Aubre [16:49] apophis, signal is full [16:49] ^ wow [16:49] lucky you [16:49] Oli``: if it is possible it'd be a good option; will I be able to burn the live then? [16:49] apophis, i think it was better before [16:49] Dusk_, so the speed should really be better than 50l [16:49] what's the command for upgrading your ubuntu version? [16:49] for some reason, when my niece logs out the screen stops responding, I have to ssh in and kill X [16:49] Oli``, there are windows live cd's specialized for virus cleaning, I really don't see how Ubuntu would make anything easier on this particular task [16:49] apophis, absouletly [16:50] apophis, it must be at least 90-95 [16:50] idefix, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade i believe [16:50] idefix, or gksu update-manager -c [16:50] ligemeget: http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/07/08/10-alternatives-to-itunes-for-managing-your-ipod/ [16:50] phretor: it installs into RAM rather than the CD and it won't be there the next time you boot to the CD - but yeah there are probably better tools as joaopinto says. [16:51] do you have a pc on the wired end? or do you just test with internet servers? It still could be its not the wifi part [16:51] ei #ubuntu-bots are not responding [16:51] Why does my sound controller start functioning at 50%? from 0-50% its on the same volume. [16:51] niice [16:51] dmsuperman dbbolton is it really worth it? all the hassle?! [16:51] hi... i got a question, i've installed ubuntu-restricted-extras for codecs& such and now most of the time when i view youtube vids or watch movies i don't have any sound, and youtube plays choppy [16:52] idefix, i hate pulseaudio, gave me nothing but trouble [16:52] Oli``: I know it wouldn't be there after reboot :) I was in fact wondering if it's possible to burn the "actual" live. [16:52] idefix, pusleaudio alone made me reinstall gutsy [16:52] idefix, and flash support is worse in hardy [16:52] legend2440, actually it would be swell if I could get a program that sync'd my whole Music library på my iPod (I have a big iPod) [16:52] All the ones Ive been using so far have been drag-n-drop [16:52] phretor, there are some instructions to customize a live cd and reburn, but like I said, search for a better option :) [16:53] dmsuperman if you have a cure for pulseaudio please let us know! [16:53] thanks [16:53] hi [16:53] phretor: there *is* a remastering tool for doing that - but I've no experience with it [16:53] ligemeget: i don't have an ipod so not sure what would be best [16:53] damn [16:53] I wish I could cure that problem but I am new in linux as well as ubuntu [16:54] so does linux work with wireless? [16:54] yeah [16:54] sure [16:54] well it depends on the card [16:54] marpal: what exactly is your problem with pulseaudio? [16:54] Ryouga_Hibiki, if the card is supported, yes [16:54] mine is some type of broadcom [16:55] I've recently found a fix for ONE particular issue [16:55] that being the issue of Alsa apps having no sound. [16:55] dmsuperman, flash works fine when the audio problems are solved, even on 64bit, no probs! even zattoo works :D [16:55] Just install libasound2-plugins and alsaconf-gtk. [16:55] Run alsaconf-gtk and switch your standard soundcard to pulseaudio [16:55] hey, can anyone solve my problem? [16:55] hi... i got a question, i've installed ubuntu-restricted-extras for codecs& such and now most of the time when i view youtube vids or watch movies i don't have any sound, and youtube plays choppy [16:55] apophis, it wasn't audio i was having issues with, flash made firefox crash constantly [16:56] ligemeget: in the instructions for Banshee in that link i sent. Instruction #15 mention synchronizing the ipod [16:56] dmsuperman, oh! I C [16:56] hmm do you use the Open Source or Properitary Flash plugin? [16:57] i have opensource [16:57] flash plugin [16:57] hmm you should try with the adobe one then. [16:57] I use that and it runs fine enough [16:57] I think the package is called flash-nonfree or something [16:57] the open source plugin is almost useless :P [16:57] oh, ok.. where can i get the adobe one? [16:57] oh.. tx [16:57] btw how to remove the opensource one? :D [16:57] flashplugin-nonfree [16:57] i'm kinda new [16:57] XD [16:57] just uninstall it? [16:57] the same way you installed it. [16:57] yh but where ? :D [16:57] kk [16:57] tx [16:58] opt1k_, well I had the same problem as opt1k_ with the nonfree plugin... I am not sure if that will help [16:58] sry for stupid q === acidicbase_ is now known as acidicbase [16:58] apophis how did u solve it? [16:58] I need some serious help with ssh [16:59] I am missing termcap library.. which pkg has it? [16:59] opt1k_, in fact I searched for "flash no audio ubuntu" and tried about 8 different solutions, and then it finally worked, and I have no idea which one it was [16:59] it asks for a password, even tho i think i've been pretty clear in telling it that it should not. :( [16:59] oh... ok, i'll think of something then :) [16:59] If the desecration hits the ventilation you can try downloading and installing the plugin from adobe site, and bypass synaptic, though I don't think it would make a difference. [17:00] who knows.. [17:00] right, I think there was another package I installed that made it work, but I haven't even the slightest clue what package <.< [17:00] btw what's the name of the opensource plugin? [17:00] Gnash [17:00] kk tx [17:01] fdisk [17:01] can i install irc client on gutsy?

[17:02] is there a mysql frontend that does not require php/apache? [17:03] maybe I should wait till the hardy is good at all [17:03] FuRom: then i feel very safe saying your opinion is in the very very low minority [17:03] Amun, the mysql command line client ? [17:03] installing mysql is separate from php and apache [17:03] ops, was for Amun [17:03] Amun, mysql-admin [17:03] marpal: hardy is fine.. whats the problem?

Not sure if I should be here or in #linux, but I'll try this first. Is there a way to simply view the permissions on a file/folder, without changing them? Running "chmod file" doesn't work, due to lack of arguments. Is there a command for what I want? [18:25] !ooo [18:25] a free and open source office suite, including word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, vector drawing and database components. To install: "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org". User help available in #users.openoffice.org [18:25] Jason2gs: ls -l [18:25] !extra [18:25] Factoid extra not found [18:26] Oh, ty :) [18:26] I can only run xsane in root mode. It cannot find scanner in user mode. Where can I change permissions on the device. It is a USB Bearcat 1200 [18:27] And the permissions are the strings to the very left? That look like: drwxr-xr-x ? [18:27] What exactly do they mean? [18:27] Jason2gs, yes [18:27] Jason2gs, x = execute w = write r = read: from left to right user / group / global [18:28] Separated by hyphens? [18:28] I have a wireless problem. i have rt73usb drivers and Ubuntu 8.04 has recognized the wireless card automaticly. But it doesn't work full speed. I have a 1mbit connection but it only downloads with 50kb/s. I used many other sites and many other servers in Synaptic. I have also Windows Vista on other partition and wireless works perfectly [18:28] By 'permissions', I meant the things you set a file equal to with chmod. (Like 777 and such.) [18:28] maybe i need to defrag it more... [18:29] Jason2gs, and d = directory :) no, the hyphen means that this right is not granted, in your example all rights for the user, read and execute for the group and global but no write permission [18:29] slyski: theres a scanner user group in ubuntu, maybe youre not in that group [18:30] How do i enable wireless connections on ubuntu? i have my 2nd computer i just installed ubuntu on....... and it's not showing any ( wireless) connections or even an option to enable it [18:30] full rights are for everyone is: dxwrxwrxwr [18:30] slyski: if you go to "Settings/Users and groups" you can modify the groups your user is in [18:30] I have a wireless problem. i have rt73usb drivers and Ubuntu 8.04 has recognized the wireless card automaticly. But it doesn't work full speed. I have a 1mbit connection but it only downloads with 50kb/s. I used many other sites and many other servers in Synaptic. I have also Windows Vista on other partition and wireless works perfectly [18:30] slyski: or you edit /etc/group [18:30] Jason2gs, I 777 = dxwrxwrxwr [18:30] Jenova_skill-> check first with sudo lshw -C network and tell us what driver and chip your wifi is using [18:30] if the fist part of a permissions string is a d that meanss it ia a directory [18:31] Dusk_-> are you sure you are connecting in G mode? [18:31] amenado, how can i be sure? [18:31] Hirn: I seen in group i'm in the scanner group [18:31] even with b it should be more than 400kbit... [18:32] Dusk_-> try iwconfig to see if it will show it [18:32] anyone know how i can get the latest version of glib? [18:33] amenado i don't see any listing with that command........... it shows options and whatnot but no actuall listing of what i have [18:33] amenado, http://www.pastebin.cz/show/6397 [18:34] thats g ;) [18:34] it says 54M but it's not [18:34] Jenova_skill-> paste the results in pastebin [18:35] amenado, apophis so what do you say about that? [18:35] The reason I want to know about folder permissions, is because it seems that Java (or perhaps just the Firefox Java plugin) hogs /dev/dsp. Meaning that if I'm playing a game (such as RS or something) I can't listen to my gay Japanese techno while I'm doing it ~_^ Will setting the permissions of /dev/dsp to where only root can access it while I'm playing the game, and executing VLC as root when I want to listen to music, work alright? Or is there a decent fi [18:36] Dusk_, everything looks fine... should work perfectly [18:36] Dusk_-> for one, the 54meg is not a true bit for bit xfer rate, its much less than that, what bit counter are you using to tell you, you only have 1meg? [18:36] apophis, but it's not..i downloads max 50b/s [18:36] slyski: take a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=14906 [18:37] amenado, yes 1 mbit [18:37] Jason2gs: no, permissions have nothing to do with that. [18:37] Dusk_-> what tool are you using to measure this? [18:37] give me your money [18:37] Jason2gs, thats not a problem with permissions, probably you use different mixers for different software [18:37] no fun [18:37] dont call the police [18:37] :( [18:37] is the default xorg configuration in hardy when ati closed source drivers are enabled supposed to have the necessary configuration to run compiz? [18:37] amenado, network manager nm-applet 0.6.6 [18:37] Oh, kk. I'll search a little more than [18:37] Jason2gs: you can /try/ wrapping firefox with padsp (if you use PulseAudio), but that will wreak havoc with Flash, for instance [18:38] hvgotcodes, yes [18:38] hi all, my usb flash disk stopped working, now i get "Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'USBDISKPRO'." when i try and access it, how do i fix?

[19:33] apophis with the question you asked about XP easy share, I take it that won't work? [19:33] ubu-elijah if you have to have the brackets, precede each with a \ (brackets have a special meaning in command lines, you have to escape them to get them used directly) [19:33] mynetdude: sorry :-S i'm not regular IRC user [19:33] apophis, you were busy... I'd do the same thing... but no worries... we all fall silent sooner or later :) [19:33] OKay, output from the lshw http://paste.ubuntu.com/22178/ [19:34] mynetdude, I have asked a question if you dont see it or you cannot access it ;) [19:34] ok, reinstalled the package manager but it always shows up with "The list of available applications is out of date - to reload...." [19:34] does other ppl have the same effect ??? visiting the site http://grails.org/ with ff3 makes firefox freeze almost. The funny thing is, it happens with Opera too ... when I use ff3 or opera in windows the site works fine. In konqueror and ff2 the site works fine in hardy heron too. [19:34] hello what does the install icon in the Desktop run execute? [19:34] apophis, yeah you asked me if XP easy share was on.. and my reply was yes [19:34] wols.....help me in detecting the devices.... [19:34] is it possible to run it via command line? [19:34] delight, works for me [19:34] seems like my question died in water [19:34] apophis that was the last I heard, so I'm guessing XP easy share won't work with accessing it from ubuntu [19:34] ok, i was trying to enable mouse wheel scrolling, and i think i editied the wrong file, since i can't change the resolution on my monitor past 640x480 anymore [19:34] alakdan, if you're on the live cd, it will start the Ubuntu install to hard drive [19:34] Hey guys...I just plugged in a USB music player and I can't seem to find the folder where its stored...

[19:35] delight, ff3 on hardy (64bit) [19:35] mynetdude, you could try with adavanced, but I am not sure If that would help, however I still dont know if you just dont see the shares, or you cannot access it even when you enter the ip directly... ? [19:35] nickrud: thanks, so use the same exact code except put a \ infront of each one? [19:35] again would like to inform all of the hibernate/suspend fix that may work for anyone who has the prob http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=417964&page=2 [19:35] apophis hold on [19:36] AaronH, yep but what I need to know is what is the corresponding program it executes [19:36] magnetron: http://paste.ubuntu.com/22178/ [19:36] wols: http://paste.ubuntu.com/22178/ [19:36] is there a package for ubuntu from the actual linux mint 5 startmenu? i do not mean the gnome-main-menu [19:36] ubu-elijah I would do that. Or, put quotes around the stuff enclosed in [] [19:36] apophis I can't see any of the shares for XP, but I can see the computer in the network on ubuntu though [19:36] mynetdude, when you create a share you can make it so they have to login [19:36] including the brackets [19:36] MrWizeGuy1983 how? [19:36] mynetdude, it's on the second tab when making the share [19:36] starbucks: the media should display on the desktop, if it worked correctly [19:36] MrWizeGuy1983 really? I didn't see a 2nd tab... but I'll look [19:36] mynetdude, you go to the samba gui and double click the share, it's the access tab [19:37] m-c: It doesn't seem to...im using a samsung media player...? [19:37] MrWizeGuy1983 what samba gui? guess I'll go look now [19:37] aslock: maybe the problem is only in the 32bit release which is doutable. But its a very funny behavior ... ff3 works fine just grails.org is basicly unusable [19:37] brb [19:37] yonebyte1: I've seen it but that paste has no modem shown [19:37] m-c: It says its connected on the player screen but I can't find it on the PC [19:37] mynetdude, install the samba gui via add/remove and then go to it [19:37] delight, perhaps it requires a quad core :P [19:37] nickrud: still egtting same thing [19:38] oh my gosh...wild storm going on here [19:38] ubu-elijah where'd you get that suggested command? [19:38] mynetdude, ok: so you see the other Computers but it looks like they have not shared anything, Maybe you dont have the rights to see them? Do you use a guest login? or do you have a pass?

I can connect locally without a hitch, but when i try to connect externally (yes my router is perfectly set to right ports and such) i get [Connected to server running SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.7p1 Debian-8ubuntu1.2], then i have to wait for a crap load of time before it says Error in key exchange, can someone halp? :) [19:39] aslock: its not complete frozen ... but barely usable [19:39] wols: = ( damn, but it has got a normal modem output = / [19:39] MrWizeGuy1983 lol oh... didn't realize samba required a gui too :P [19:39] yonebyte1: check who made the indows drivers for the modem [19:39] how do i set the defualt boot option for grub? (dual-boot for a friend, i need to change xp to the default) everything i've read basically says change the "default" from 0 to whatever number xp is in the list. won't the number change though as ubuntu updates and adds a newer kernel option to the list? [19:39] well lets see if turning off simple sharing in XP fixes some problems [19:40] wols: okay [19:40] nickrud: page 4 of the linux setup guide from sprint, can you look at it real quick for me? www.tinyurl.com/4xwtzp [19:40] Anyone know why my Samsung MP3 player isn't appearing please?

[20:26] I Just installed Ubuntu ... can't find Hardware TEST option ... need to know which material works and wich doesnt [20:26] atrus: P4s weren't dual core. It's got hyperthreading (if you have two cores, not all P4s had hyperthreading) [20:26] Jack_Sparrow: Whats that? [20:26] atrus, ther should be a line "cpu cores" [20:27] Flannel: well i'm assuming, since it does show two proccessors available for smp [20:27] I Just installed Ubuntu ... can't find Hardware TEST option ... need to know which material works and wich doesnt [20:27] Where can I get the *source* images/isos for Ubuntu?

[20:29] how can i see wat ppp connection im using atm ?

[20:32] Flannel: CD [20:32] dmsuperman try du -sh folder [20:32] LetsGo67: It does, but you should already have them [20:32] LetsGo67, it does, but the apt remove does not remove the dependencies, only the specified packaged [20:32] dmsuperman: du -h [20:32] HT does not necessarily fake two cores, but allows for the concurrent use of the processor via hardware level process scheduling. [20:33] ryanakca: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/8.04/release/source/ [20:33] Bhavesh, thanks. What's the s option do? [20:33] Flannel: ah, thanks :) [20:33] Nice, joaopinto and Flannel, thanks.

[20:37] Drk_Guy: what version of Ubuntu are you on? [20:37] I understand, updating glibc is very risky [20:37] Drk_Guy: whos us the output and the output of dpkg -l libc6 | tail -1 [20:37] Flannel: that was the fastest upgrade in history, thank you once again [20:37] atrus you are making me jealous :) [20:37] Flannel, Hardy [20:38] Drk_Guy: Then... you don't. If you were on gutsy, the answer would be "Upgrade to Hardy". But no, you don't want to upgrade libc [20:38] Drk_Guy, where did you get that vdrift installer from ? The last time I have checked it was compiling with the Ubunt's provided glibc [20:38] WalloO, what should i do? [20:38] Bhavesh: i'd say it was one of the better finds from the sale, but a friend of mine got a countertop dishwasher for his apt for $30. he's the one I'M jealous of :) [20:38] hahahaha [20:39] * apophis wants a dishwasher too === c3s4r_ is now known as C3s4r [20:39] naxa, that'S strange, you said you use enlioghtement? try with gnome just to see.

When I first installed I had the option for 1280*1024 but now its gone ;( [20:40] starbucks: different driver now. use the proper one for your hardware [20:40] WalloO, I thought enlightment is not using compiz.

[20:41] Bhavesh: heh, yeah, this one just replaced my duron 850mhz /1gig ram server/wireless-ap/mythtv box that i've had since like, 2001-2002 sometime. [20:41] Rabbitbunny: mousepad [20:41] Rabbitbunny: You having problems connecting to the repositories? [20:41] wols: What do you mean? Im using the drivers that envy got me [20:41] !envy [20:41] 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. [20:41] I'm trying to switch tv channels with vlc, and I don't find any control to do this. How can I do that? [20:41] is there a rsa-keygen installed in linux? [20:41] note the "unsupported" [20:41] naxa, yes, I know, but compiz use hardware 3D. So if there is an issue with your X11 driver for 3D, or a problem with your vga card, it may crash because of compiz. With disabling it, you will know if it comes from that [20:42] Flannel: I'm playing with tunneling X via ssh, tunneling xterm feels kinda dumb. === m_newton is now known as m_newton_Loligag [20:42] predius: use a TV player like tvtime [20:42] joaopinto, what should i do?

[20:43] Flannel: Yeah, I just went through it on my desktop, Kinda antsy about doing the server. Thanks for reminding me. [20:43] naxa, maybe in interface config, disable destop effects [20:43] Okay.. revision to my above question [20:43] WalloO, it's been already disabled! [20:43] Flannel, Then, if i can't just upgrade the lib, what should i do? [20:43] WalloO: Yes [20:43] naxa, so I don't really know what to do to help you... [20:43] what is more I still thinks that enlightment doesn't use compiz at all so i thought it's not even loaded. [20:43] WalloO, ok [20:43] Apparently the only computer on the network that can see the shared printer on our Mythdora machine is my husband on Vista.. Both Ubuntu and Fedora cannot see it... I'm so lost as to what to do... [20:44] anyone got a good tut for sharing internet ? [20:44] Drk_Guy: and the output of the installer?

[20:44] anybody know where to find the latest ati Radeon express 200m driver or ati drivers in general...seems a bit lacking since the amd buyout [20:44] Drk_Guy: export LANG=C then run the installer [20:44] no wols [20:44] i want to share ppp0 to eth1 [20:44] Freakazoi: then how do you expect to set up NAT? [20:44] wols, It says i need glibc 2 at least, but i have latest [20:45] what software is avaliable to record your desktop using dual monitors? [20:45] Freakazoi: then you DO have 2 network interfaces [20:45] wols, It doesn't output anything now [20:45] ubuntu server 8.04 LAMP with static DHCP 192.168.0.50 and router DI-604 configured to porr forward port 80. Internaly i can access the server through my desktop. Externally not (typing for example the external IP in firefox). What would be wrong? [20:45] ImMelody, it can see it, but can it connect to it? [20:45] Drk_Guy: You should find a version of it that'll work with your libc version [20:45] Drk_Guy: that's can't be [20:45] wols, It just says "Install with package install" [20:45] Drk_Guy: if you don't want to paste it, suit yourself. HAND [20:45] "static dhcp"? [20:45] it can't see it, but can connect to the folder shares if I manually input the IP address.. [20:45] wols [20:46] it does NOT see the printer share though [20:46] wols, ill do, okay? [20:46] ImMelody: smbclient -L it [20:46] is there any simple way to make a pppoe connection that will only work from a spesific Website ? ( like connection a is used for google.com, connection b is used for the rest) [20:46] Freakazoi: yes. set a static route [20:46] Drk_Guy: "The latest" is 2.7 > 2, so I'd be wary of it [20:46] ImMelody, ok, so just create a shortcut, and it will work [20:46] anyone can tell me why the version alpha 1 of ubunto 8.10 was not released yet?? [20:46] ;P [20:46] :O [20:46] yeah. static dhcp.... for keeping same ip for the server in my intranet [20:46] Flannel, :S [20:46] wols ? could u help me with that ? [20:47] SevenSeth: because it's not ready [20:47] WalloO: How would I do that please? [20:47] But the problem I'm having is that I cannot see the printer [20:47] iandev: so you router port forwarding is not good then :) [20:47] nand, but why the late? [20:47] starbucks: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid support, but yeah, I think they had a few showstopper bugs [20:47] SevenSeth, #ubuntu+1, even. [20:47] starbucks, do you use single or dual screen? [20:47] thanks [20:47] hi there [20:47] nand: it seemed so simple.... [20:47] I am having a problem regarding /bin/sh [20:47] SevenSeth: because some packages are not ready, making it uninstallable. And the main focus it ATM 8.4.1 [20:48] bash: ../binutils-2.17/configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied [20:48] iandev: indeed. But you must have failed somewhere :) [20:48] Alpha 1 could even be skipped [20:49] nand: one moment please... ill show the rules.... [20:49] can sombody help me? I need icq for linux [20:49] hey all. got a little question: is there a way to fix a hp dv6000 battery capacity in gutsy? battery is only lasting me an hour. i installed powersaved and powertop but neither one has resolved the issue. [20:49] frederic: pidgin can't do the work? [20:49] frederic: pidgin has ICQ [20:50] WalloO: Single [20:50] frederic, use pidgin, it'S installed by default [20:50] can anybody figure out what is wrong with /bin/sh? [20:51] tlrokeutoetn: when does that occurs? [20:51] starbucks, I can provide you a Xorg.conf where you will just have to replace 1024x768 with your own size. But keep a copy of your old one just in case [20:51] I need help with my non-root account. I had alread customized this account and decided to make it root. So i added it to the root group and unticked all the options under permissions (as it is on root) now i tried to turn it back but i cannot authenticate for anything! apt-get unlocking network anything! [using ubuntu 8.04] [20:51] nand: I am trying to run a configure script to compile binutils [20:52] mercuree: you want it in the admin group, not root [20:52] tlrokeutoetn, why are you compiling binutils in the first place ? [20:52] the problem i am having now are what made me try to turn it back in the first place [20:52] tlrokeutoetn: ill try put it there thanks [20:52] nand: imageshack is a little low... [20:52] joaopinto: I'm following instructions on the Linux From Scratch book [20:52] what about all the ticks? its pretty odd, i guess unticked means 'yes' [20:52] lol [20:52] hello i cant sincronize my clie palm to the desktop, im using gnome pda, but i cant manage to make it work [20:53] tlrokeutoetn, erm, starting an LFS from ubuntu ? [20:53] WalloO: Alright thanks [20:53] starbucks, http://watermark.tuxfamily.org/xorg.conf this xorg.conf file has tv output enable, but it may not be an issue [20:53] WalloO: What do I do with it? [20:53] iandev: seems so [20:53] thx @ all [20:53] nand: would you please take a look http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/7959/figure1ir0.png [20:53] joaopinto: are there know problems with that? [20:53] hi.... is it possible to install and run ubuntu in a computer with no keyboard, monitor or mouse? doing it all thru a network? [20:53] hey all. got a little question: is there a way to fix a hp dv6000 battery capacity in gutsy? battery is only lasting me an hour. i installed powersaved and powertop but neither one has resolved the issue. [20:54] tlrokeutoetn, no, except that is not usual [20:54] WalloO: Where do I put it? [20:54] tlrokeutoetn, abour your original question, regarding /bin/sh, what is your problem with it ? [20:54] starbucks, you can replace yours (keep a copy of the current one just in case something goes wrong). Use my sorg.conf which is simple, and juste change all 1024x768 with the size you want for your screen [20:54] joaopinto: if I try to run a shell script, such as configure, it says "bash: ../binutils-2.17/configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied" [20:55] joaopinto: I checked the permissions on the file, and it is an executable [20:55] eago: no [20:55] iandev: why does it say "virtual server list"? [20:55] starbucks, it is in /etc/X11. But copy your current /etc/X11/xorg.conf before. to be sure to be able to restore it in case it doesn't work the way you want [20:55] tlrokeutoetn, did you edited that configure script ? [20:55] eago: after you have installed ubuntu you could run it without a keyboard/monitor or mouse with vnc [20:55] i have a minor amarok problem...it keeps skipping around tracks on me. and no, it's not on shuffle. [20:56] iandev: what page is this? is this explicitely specifying "port forwarding"? [20:56] joaopinto: no [20:56] another problem i have is that the logoff/shutdown menu takes a mother-long time to pop up on my normal account whereas on the root account its instant. any ideas how i can speeed this up? [20:56] ok, thats odd [20:56] ok... thanks vic_ [20:56] but i need to go now, sorry :P [20:56] nand: i dont know. but in portforwards.com this is told to be the same as port forwarding in DLINK 604... [20:56] hi, anyone know how to change the grub splash screen when using ubuntu hardy edition? someone send me this before: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy But is not working for hardy. === The_JoKeR is now known as SplinTer0616 [20:57] nand: is there a way to check if my ISP is blocking port 80? [20:57] How can I get real player names for Bygfoot? [20:57] I install the gnome-splashscreen-manager, but this program is not working for hardy. [20:57] WalloO Will you find me during the week so I can ask a few questions about nvidia.. I need to leave now, but wanted to look that over later. [20:57] mercuree, if powermanager is not running, it can do what you have [20:57] iandev: your ISP is probably not blocking your port 80 [20:57] iandev: blocking or filtering? [20:57] can somebody tell me the problem with shell? [20:57] iandev: could you enumerate for me the list of menu entries on the left of the route interface please? [20:58] /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied [20:58] nand: to avoid me having a home server without paying enterprise connection... [20:58] this is what you need to do to get grub splash screen [20:58] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto#head-616e8477b76f70cdd317812fef0ac88b248e25b4 [20:58] iandev: this would be the first time ever I would see a ISP do this [20:58] no, the problem is on your side [20:58] Jack_Sparrow, I may be on the channel sometime, but can't say you when.... [20:58] nand: they could block incoming port 80.. [20:58] hi, anyone know how to change the grub splash screen when using ubuntu hardy edition? The gnome-splashscreen-manager is not working for Hardy, is there any other alternative? [20:59] hyphenated: never heard of such port blocking by ISPs [20:59] what is this: sudo chown shawn projects -- cd projects --bash: cd: projects: Permission denied [20:59] lokuazzz : try to follow this direction. the one you pointed to is for gnome-background https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto#head-616e8477b76f70cdd317812fef0ac88b248e25b4 [20:59] How can I get real player names for Bygfoot? [20:59] MrWizeGuy1983 what do you use for samba GUI? [20:59] nand: have heard it on the net... a moment please [20:59] MrWizeGuy1983 I believe there are a few of them [20:59] i need a TV program for Linux [20:59] nand: it's about as common as transparent proxies in ISPs.. only the cheap ones do it [21:00] does anybody know what might cause "/bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied"? [21:00] tlrokeutoetn: it's not listed in /etc/shells [21:00] nand: http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/7876/figure2ra3.png [21:00] frederic, tvtime is the best one. for recording, look at mythtv [21:00] hyphenated: thanks, I'll try that [21:00] iandev: the page you screenshoted definitely does not look like a port forwarding page [21:00] (the first screenshot) [21:00] !samba [21:00] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [21:00] nand: really? [21:01] iandev: uh, in fact, yes [21:01] where can i find it? [21:01] tlrokeutoetn, does it the good path to sh? type whereis sh to know [21:01] iandev: what I find weird is that you have lots of entries [21:01] can anyone recommend a good samba GUI? [21:01] pointing to 0.0.0.0 [21:01] hyphenated: it is listed in /etc/shells [21:01] iandev: could you remove the entry 0.0.0.0 port TCP 80 please? [21:01] nand: most of them are disabled. only http and https working... [21:01] the one I have doesn't work right I don't think [21:01] Bhavesh Im not looking for just images for my splash screen.. i want to use a funcional one.. interactive you know.. i already download some i wanna try [21:01] nand: ok [21:02] wallo0: sh is in /bin/sh, I tried just running it [21:02] so i dont want just simple an image [21:02] frederic, launch menu->administration->synaptic package manager [21:02] iandev: having entries with 0.0.0.0 just makes no sense === tlrokeutoetn is now known as eztotype [21:02] hallo! anyone tell me an equivelant to like "hotspot-shield" for ubuntu? i want to use hulu from outside the us [21:03] Frederic, then search for the software. To watch TV only, tvtime is really the best. To record tv and have a complete media center, mythtv is good, but not so light [21:03] what is this: sudo chown shawn projects -- cd projects --bash: cd: projects: Permission denied [21:03] nand: removed... [21:03] mynetdude, nautilus works quite well [21:03] How do I update my kernel to 2.6.25.x [21:03] uname -a stil shows, 2.6.24.x [21:03] iandev_: is that working now? [21:03] nand: checking... [21:04] WalloO really? if it works so well I can get into my shares without authencation even with the samba gui addon [21:04] i like my 3D in ubuntu [21:04] mynetdude, however, it doesn't mount samba shares, so your software have to support the gnome filesystm. [21:04] I tried reinstalling dash, but there is still a problem [21:04] why would I want to mount ubuntu shares in ubuntu? [21:04] mynetdude, if you allow anonymous connection on the server machine, yes. [21:05] err, anonymous connection or anonymous permissions? [21:05] does anybody know what might be the problem with shell? [21:05] mynetdude, but you can mount shares at start too. with modifying /etc/fstab correctely. However, it's not so simple [21:05] nand: not yeat. firefox keeps loading page undefinetely... [21:05] I've got Samba set up and transfer is about 8Mbytes/s on a LAN network..is that normal? [21:05] Help, both "vol_id -u /dev/real_name" and "blkid" won't return a UUID for my swap partition. I am able to manually initialize it using "swapon". It will not auto-initialize (there seems to be a problem with UUID mismatch in fstab). [21:06] iandev_: your http server is up and working? [21:06] no shell scripts seem to work unless I specifically say "sh ./some-script.sh" [21:06] Prose, wireless? [21:06] WalloO well I found that turning off simple file sharing in windows makes it impossible for ubuntu to see the shares [21:06] DRebellion: no, wired LAN [21:06] WalloO but turning it ON lets it see it, and requires authencation [21:06] Prose, hmm, you should be seeing much higher speeds than that [21:07] nand: when i ping it through my ubuntu desktop it reply normally [21:07] mynetdude, simple file sharing, is the more stupid thing I know.... [21:07] nand: ping 192.168.0.50 and reply ok [21:07] DRebellion: I know that hdparm test gives sequentail read at 24Megabytes/s on the fileserver hard drive (the one with Samba on it) [21:07] WalloO, I agree... I was told its better not to use SFS... but ubuntu sees it that way [21:07] mynetdude, you did the good thing with turning it off. :) [21:07] Any idea why OOo crashes when attempting to load a .doc? [21:07] iandev_: I'm not asking about pinging, but accessing the HTTP server via your browser locally : does it loads page ok? === eztotype is now known as tlrokeutoetn [21:08] mynetdude, if you turn off simple file sharing, you have to allow guest to access the shared forlder. [21:08] WalloO, but here's the thing... I have ubuntu shares setup... I have told it which users can access it via the samba GUI yet I can still access it without authencation [21:08] mynetdude, that's this simploe, but you have to know that... :) [21:08] nand: through browser works too (show page It Works) [21:08] WalloO well then that defeats the point of SFS [21:08] is this a problem with sh? or is it a problem with something else? [21:08] Prose, hmm. don't really know how to help you there. sorry. [21:08] (the bad interpreter problem) [21:09] WalloO if you have to allow guest, then its just as unsecure [21:09] iandev_: is the built-in firewall from your router desactivated (or at least with an hole on port 80)? [21:09] DRebellion: well thanks anyways [21:09] Stylee, ask in #openoffice.org [21:09] ok thanks [21:09] DRebellion: on wi-fi I get 2 Megabytes/s so I guess I shouldn't complain [21:09] Anyone know how to fix my swap automounting ? [21:09] nand: dont know... ill check .. one moment pelase... [21:09] mynetdude, yes. I though you wanted anonymous access... But you can not give access to guest and give access to any other user. Then you will be able to log in using the windows login and password [21:10] I just deleted my defaults.list by accident. Could someone paste their defaults.list so I can copy it and reinstall [21:10] there's gotta be a better way to do shares [21:10] Prose, if you were on wifi, I would tell you to check the 'rate' in iwconfig. [21:10] LogicalDash: defaults.list?? [21:10] hi. i have firefox issue - it is shutting down unexpectedly. tried starting it from console - dives a segmentation fault. How can i fix it? [21:11] Prose, but also, i see limits from unexpected things such as the usb interface to my wireless adapter (12 mb/s) [21:11] argh :( [21:11] erUSUL: as in /usr/share/applications/defaults.list [21:11] i've spent ages defragging the ntfs partition and it still won't resize [21:11] Irol, you could try renaming your /home/.firefox or .mozilla directory - and see if it loads [21:11] DRebellion: I'll check out what the "rate'' means in iwconfig and see how mine compares === root is now known as mercuree [21:11] nand: coudnt find any firewall related page... need to search the web... [21:12] KrimZon, gnu parted do not resize ntfs fot security reasons [21:12] Jewfro: it loads ok, but crashes during work [21:12] DRebellion: my situation is Server --- Lan --- Router ---wifi--- Laptop [21:12] Prose, right [21:12] iandev_: you're kidding? There is a "firewall" menu entry on the screenshot you sent me! [21:12] WalloO: it doesn't refuse to, it actually tries, using ntfsresize [21:12] DRebellion: but good point on the usb [21:12] Irol - is it something specific, like flash or java causing it? [21:12] im still having some auth problems. one of which made me make the original change. bu i cannot auth to change eth1 settings. it doesnt even prompt for a password. just comes up with error could not authenticate [21:12] nand: ill check it again... blind must i be! [21:13] LogicalDash: dpkg -S /usr/share/applications/defaults.list --> desktop-file-utils --> sudo apt-get install --reinstall desktop-file-utils [21:13] DRebellion: I've been told the Samba protocol is slowing stuff down but I hope it's not responsible for likie 4MB/s loss [21:13] KrimZon, ha ok, sorry. I can't help you. [21:13] i tried changing myself to admin with same permissions as root [21:13] Jewfro: well idon't know - it just crashes randomly while trying to access different pages [21:13] Prose, I would only expect that if the computers had very slow processing power. After all, data is data. [21:13] i can also not modify xorg.conf through nvidia x server settings as normal user but if i sudo it it works [21:13] I'm still having problems with shell, can anybody help? [21:13] Who was looking to measure rates? For measuring rates over LAN, I recommend a small program called "netio" [21:14] is it better to upgrade to hardy herron from cd or internet? [21:14] hello, ubuntu wont recognize my clie palm [21:14] nand: really lame.... ( http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/4707/figure3qh6.png) [21:14] fooks, makes no difference [21:14] mercuree: of course you can't, you don't own the file [21:14] Irol - it could be a plugin/extension issue maybe? [21:14] im on gutsy still, but im too scared to update [21:14] WalloO why do I have to allow guest to access the windows share when SFS is turned off? Wouldn't that defeat the point of security? [21:14] DRebellion: does your definition of very slow include 500MHz P3 processors [21:14] since my last update failed and fubar'ed my system from 7.04 to 7.10 [21:14] fooks: no difference, I recommend Internet if you have fast broadband. Find a good mirror. [21:14] iandev_: :p [21:14] tlrokeutoetn: but if i modify it as root user, it only makes the change for root user and not normal user as it should [21:14] iXneonXi, ill attempt it [21:14] Prose: no thats smoking fast [21:14] Prose, that's what I use and it's not limiting me. [21:14] omg who actually runs 1024x768 as their res any more [21:14] it should ask me for authentication the modify it [21:15] hello ubuntu wont recognize my clie, what can i do??? [21:15] iandev_: now you can just desactivate the relevent rule, and that should work [21:15] Jewfro: well' i just installed it and it has only flash plugin i guess - even didn't install java [21:15] mercuree: it shouldn't be doing that; are you sure? [21:15] Would someone please upload their /usr/share/applications/defaults.list to a pastebin? I was tinkering with something I shouldn't have and ended up deleting mine. [21:15] nand: doing it... [21:15] DRebellion: okay thanks for your help, I'll blamde this on windows and be done with it :) [21:15] is there a way i can copy all previous apt-getted files and reinstall without having to get them again? [21:15] Prose, hehe, okay. ;) [21:15] javier: are you using kpilot ? [21:15] mynetdude, you don't have too. It's required only if you want people to connect without needing login and password. [21:15] Irol - I've seen flash cause that problem - try purging flashpugin-nonfree - see if it works - then try reinstalling maybe [21:15] tlrokeutoetn: yep and this was before i messed with my settings [21:15] jedimind I still use 1024x768... now beat it :P [21:15] How would I create default desktop icons with Remastersys? [21:15] aha, specifying a different size works now [21:15] i think defragging did help [21:15] mynetdude: get with the 20th century! :) [21:16] mynetdude: Check out aptonCD. It uses your package cache to make a CD repository [21:16] mercuree: what is the problem with xorg.conf? I missed the original question [21:16] mercuree: Check out aptonCD. It uses your package cache to make a CD repository [21:16] Flannel why are you telling me that? [21:16] mercuree, /var/cache/apt/archives [21:16] mynetdude, the security will be a problem with guest only if you give write access and if data on the server must stay confidential [21:16] mercuree: Of course, you can also do it by hand [21:16] Does anyone have any experience with swap here? [21:17] tlrokeutoetn: i have a nvidia card, using propreitary drivers. if i use the nividia-settings program to modify my res (as normal user) the program cannot save the changes. [21:17] if i login as root it can but only for root [21:17] not myself [21:17] !anyone | iXneonXi [21:17] iXneonXi: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [21:17] it seems [21:17] iXneonXi, best just to ask a question. [21:17] WalloO ah ok, well I'll wait to see if someone comes along who can better assist :) the weird thing though is with SFS turned on ubuntu asks for authencation when accessing windows shares... but not other XP/Windows machines [21:17] tahnks DRebellion [21:17] help please....i have few issues i gotta fix..one my computer doesnt shut down it stops midway, 2 it takes very long to start, 3 sometimes my knetworkmanager doesnt start [21:17] can someone tell me how to get dual screen working with nvidia driver installed? [21:17] !nvidia [21:17] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [21:17] jedimind we are in the 20th century... wait... 21st... you're so far behind! [21:17] DRebellion: I did earlier XD [21:17] Hi guys [21:17] Here it is again [21:17] i have installed CYGWIN on my vista pc - how do i start an X window session to my ubuntu box? any suggestions? [21:17] Help, both "vol_id -u /dev/real_name" and "blkid" won't return a UUID for my swap partition. I am able to manually initialize it using "swapon". It will not auto-initialize (there seems to be a problem with UUID mismatch in fstab). [21:18] mercuree, just copy them to a usb flash drive or something and then into the same directory on the new install. [21:18] mynetdude: that was the joke :) [21:18] thats the plan DRebellion [21:18] wols, the connection failed, but i'll pastebin english output [21:18] hi is there any gui tool for check disk and defragmentor [21:18] thanks [21:18] jedimind fact is... 1024x768 is the biggest I'd be willing to go or things will be awfully tiny [21:18] jedimind although I use a higher res on my laptop because of the screen ofc [21:18] vic_ : if I install that VPN... will it run fine when i reboot that computer or at reboot time it needs to have monitor or keyboard connected? [21:18] how to see current screen resolution under nvidia driver? [21:18] mynetdude, if users on your other XP machine have same login and password than on the server, it's normal because the system will use them as login/password automaticaly, without asking you. [21:18] rjre: you might try the FAQ in channel #cygwin topic line [21:19] wols, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/22201/ [21:19] mynetdude, it depends on your monitor - high res monitors look good (not small) at higher resolutions. [21:19] does anybody know what might cause "bash: ../binutils-2.17/configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied"? [21:19] eago: it'l run on boot [21:19] rjre, if your cygwin has a working x-server its simple as that: open the cygwin console and enter ssh -X [21:19] WalloO I wondered about that, I don't remember anymore but I was pretty sure even with different usernames [21:19] ok... thanks === irc is now known as rjre [21:19] great. thanks [21:20] rjre, if your cygwin has a working x-server its simple as that: open the cygwin console and enter ssh -X [21:20] Jewfro I have a newer monitor... things look tiny even at high res [21:20] mynetdude, maybe you need glasses :) [21:20] mynetdude, if you do not allow anonymous access, it's normal you are asked for login password [21:20] Jewfro on the laptop... things are a bit smaller but not small enough to bother me... cuz 1024x768 distorts things on the laptop [21:20] Jewfro thats the point, I already wear glasses [21:21] i run 1920x1200 on my laptop [21:21] wols, Got an idea, maybe VDrift is looking for the 32 BITS libc6, and i'm on AMD64 [21:21] Drk_Guy: there isn't a newer libc6 than 2.7 which is in ubuntu [21:21] WalloO from which side? windows or linux? [21:21] then again im probably going blind as a result [21:21] mynetdude, I see, sorry - it's always possible to just enlarge the font size when using higher res [21:21] Drk_Guy: that can be, it'S even likely. ia32-libs [21:21] jedimind I run 12880x... something I can't remember [21:21] Drk_Guy: oh no: libc6 works for 32 and 64 [21:21] Jewfro true, it doesn't work perfectly though and kinds makes the gui look funny [21:21] 1280x1024 [21:21] wols, wine whined for almost the same issue at compile-time [21:22] mynetdude, if your windows server do not alllow anonymous access, then it's normal ubuntu request a login/password to connect to the windows server [21:22] jedimind yeah I thought it was x1024 [21:22] I think I know what the problem is! [21:22] I think that the partition is mounted as user and noexec [21:22] jedimind palmos, should i download kpilot?? [21:22] mynetdude, maybe there's a gnome theme that addresses it [21:22] wols, I had to symlink to the 32 bits libs [21:22] what should be in fstab? [21:22] javier: yeah get kpilot going, it should help you w/ your pal syncing [21:22] ok im going to reinstall. lol [21:22] anyway to roll back your system [21:22] Jewfro oh I meant for windows... but I haven't tried chaging the dpi yet in gnome [21:22] hi every body! [21:22] hopefully it will go without a hitch [21:23] is there any upnp client for ubuntu? [21:23] OMG spain almost scored [21:23] so long and thanks for all the fish [21:23] mynetdude, actually yes - I agree with you - even I (and I don't wear glases) have trouble seeing windows at high res [21:23] if I want to automatically mount a partition on boot in which I can execute programs, what should be the options in fstab? [21:23] WalloO like I said before ubuntu asks for PW but other windows systems don't even if not using the same username/passes IIRC [21:23] Hey guys anyway to roll back your system [21:23] ive tried rhutmbox, vlc and so on/// [21:23] mynet, but even on windows it can probably be addressed by theme [21:23] wols, I had to symlink like this: http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit#head-7703cf4cc6b63630523cf66e77d621e4f81bc873 [21:23] but no one of them is suitible for me/ [21:24] Jewfro I haven't seen a theme address the problem... I haven't tried it in gnome yet to see how it differs [21:24] crazyguy510: yes i believe you can do it in synaptic [21:24] mynetdude, so I can'T help you, sorry [21:24] jedimind, ok ok ill try thanks man [21:24] how [21:25] can you make it like it was 3 days ago [21:25] WalloO lol no worries... I just require utmost security as I'm used to roaming [21:25] crazyguy510: i dont know, dont think you can do it to a date, erm [21:25] okay [21:26] help please....i have few issues i gotta fix..one my computer doesnt shut down it stops midway, 2 it takes very long to start, 3 sometimes my knetworkmanager doesnt start [21:26] WalloO I also mad out the point that I installed a samba GUI and setup user access, etc etc and again it does not require windows machines to authencate... I don't see how that is anonymous access if user specific access has been set [21:26] VDrift is on repos for feisty, but not for hardy [21:27] My sound server keeps crashing when I watch youtube. [21:27] crazyguy510: just google rolling back in synaptic or something and you should get the answer [21:27] how do i change it jack [21:27] okay thanks [21:28] mynetdude, that's quite strange [21:28] this better then fedora for 3D [21:29] WalloO thats what I've been trying to say... despite the fact the share requires a specific user to login... but perhaps since my windows logon is the same as the ubuntu logon... would that also allow seamless access to the ubuntu shares? [21:29] I got a cool tool for adjusting all the 3d settings.. makes it much cooler [21:30] I like for all the windows to go up in a ball of flames when closed.. hehehehe [21:30] WalloO you mentioned that if the windows user/pass are the same on both windows machines it would seamlessly log you in, but I have seen it not do that also [21:30] anyone wanna help me get xwinwrap to play youtube videos? [21:30] mynetdude, if password are the same, then yes, you will be able to login and windows will not ask you for password [21:30] c4lman: why do you need xwinrap? [21:31] Howto play quicktime in firefox??? [21:31] IndyGunFreak: well, I want to make a script where you just paste in the youtube URL, the script grabs the .flv, xwinwrap uses mplayer to make it the wallpaper [21:31] Does anyone know how to check the bandwidth of connection? Or running programs and the usage? Since yesterday, when i was watching youtube videos, the videos become choppy. I even restarted the PC and youtube still plays choppy. I don't know why. [21:31] m_newton_Loligag: depends on the file format i guess... link to the video you're tryig to watch [21:31] WalloO, hmm [21:31] I shall test that [21:31] c4lman: oh ok.. no clue on that one, sorry [21:32] IndyGunFreak cool idea though eh?

[22:15] Drk_Guy graphic layer separate from acceleration? [22:15] mynetdude, there are different drivers that provide some working 3D support for ATI cards... the binary drivers from ATI do, and the open source ati drivers do as well, but neither work for all cards properly [22:15] any solution for the 'keys getting stucked' bug?

[22:19] tmapj, try the wikipedia entry to start with, it should help [22:19] well where do i go for tcpip joaopinto ? [22:19] Drk_Guy but since I need ATI drivers, I don't see that happening [22:19] Does anyone have a minute to try and help me get freenx working on my 2 ubuntu computers?

It can access far less than firefox can with a default setup [22:20] I'll look into grabbing an older xorg.conf [22:20] omid: are we dealing with a package (rpm, deb) or source only? [22:20] it wont list [22:20] what are you guys talking about [22:20] Joey__: look at tune2fs command [22:20] Jordan_U, IE is the most buggiest browser out there, would you ever call it safe? [22:20] joaopinto, it wont list [22:21] Drk_Guy, It's always a good idea to run your browser as a user which has no access to your important documents ( which are usually owned by your user and are in your home folder ) [22:21] Drk_Guy I heard that IE7 is supposed to work better in Vista than XP so essentially less buggy but not bugless [22:21] Jordan_U, Im talking about winbugs man [22:21] Drk_Guy, I am not talking about IE, I am talking about isolation [22:21] what should I tell you about? it's installer (configure, install and many other files...) [22:21] erm, can you both stop with the IE bugs talk ? Please keep on topic [22:21] Joey__: tunesfs -c 0 /dev/hda1 substitute whatever partition [22:22] omid: sounds like its source only, have you tried to compile it? [22:22] Jordan_U, If you want isolation, use a VM [22:22] XD [22:22] yoyoned, will that screw up the partition? [22:22] omid, what software are you trying to install ? [22:22] Joey__, no, it will do what you have asked for [22:22] Drk_Guy sandboxie instead [22:22] is there any other chanel? [22:22] It's less than one month that I'm leaving windows and using ubuntu, I don't know many how to install software at that [22:22] thanks joaopinto and yoyoned [22:22] Joey__, if in doubt, please read the tunesfs man [22:22] still no go in VLC [22:23] i dont doubt him [22:23] omid: so you havent tried to compile it then? [22:23] Joey__: no, but as always, backups will make you happy [22:23] Hi guys. Earlier on I was asking for a replacement defaults.list, thinking this would be necessary in order to automatically open files with the correct application. It turns out that defaults.list is a leftover from an earlier version of GNOME, and I can in fact carry on happily without one, but I didn't know that because I didn't think to check whether things were actually broken the way I thought they were. Let this be a lesson [22:23] omid: done make, configure etc commands [22:23] joaopinto it's my finger print software [22:23] I still can't play avi in VLC... [22:23] Ive got freenx installed on both my PCs but i cant seem to get them to connect. Ive tried just about everything ive found by googling. Has anyone who has gotten it working recently help me out? [22:23] thanks again [22:23] any rhythmbox users around to help me troubleshoot this: http://classicalwebcast.com/chamber.asx ? [22:23] mynetdude, XD, if they hack the VM, they won't ever access the HD, if they hack another accoutn, they have acess to the HD [22:23] how can i manually edit the "Applications" menu ?

[22:23] sinan, Left clicj with the mouse, Edit Menu [22:24] rm don't wwork [22:24] jjido, no [22:24] omid: im not going to download the file to check it, bit if there isnt any .deb in there and just install and configure files etc then you need to compile it (im assuming that you checked its i=not already in the repos) [22:24] Drk_Guy hmm good point, isn't sandboxie sortof a VM? [22:24] magnetron, joaopinto it is not a bug .... is a BUGGGGG https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/194214 [22:24] is there a way to make it so that my USB devices don't automatically mount? [22:24] Launchpad bug 194214 in xorg-server "Keys get "stuck" down" [High,Fix released] [22:24] perlsyntax, rm .vim [22:24] jack_spratt I did these steps: ./configure -–with-Qt-dir=no make LDFLAGS=’-R /usr/local/lib’ make install [22:24] mynetdude, IDK, never heard of [22:24] omid: ok, and it didnt exit successfully [22:24] http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=780961 fixed my sound issues, toshiba a70 laptop [22:24] cisco training [22:24] I can't understand why but when I copy one album in mp3 to my mp3player (or to another). The player play the tracks in a weird order. If I do the same with windows it works normally. [22:24] omid: that didnt work? presumably you got that code from the readme [22:24] Does anybody have a mobility radeon 9600 working with compiz on Hardy? (don't know if the mobility bit is relevant, possibly also 9700 or 9800 might be able to help) [22:24] Drk_Guy from what I know sandboxie just isolates any app you tell it to and separates that instance from your windows enviornments so any changes you make are automatically discarded [22:24] omid, -–with-Qt-dir=no does not look good [22:24] all it tell me it a dic that it with that command [22:24] my camera encodes as motion jpeg... is that the same as .AVI? [22:25] at least we don't need that kind of stuff in ubuntu I hope [22:25] Bllz, no [22:25] Jewfro, out of curiosity, what are the configuration files manipulated by the Preferred Applications dialog? [22:25] motion jpg? hehe... no [22:25] ouch [22:25] noelferreira: all the available info is put up on launchpad. keep tracking your bug there. [22:25] mynetdude, I wouldn't think it's safe [22:25] motion jpg ftl [22:25] Hi people. Can someone tell me if there is a way to recursively chmod a set of files while excluding directories themselves? (I want to keep their execute bit set) [22:25] mynetdude, I would still use a VM [22:25] LogicalDash, that I do not know [22:25] Jewfro,All it tell me it a dir that it [22:25] jewfro: nice name =) I got one of those too and i'm not even jewish... how do I play a motion jpeg in ubuntu then? Ubuntu identified it as AVI, but it doesn't play properly [22:25] Jewfro, ok, never mind then [22:25] perlsyntax, rm -r .vim [22:26] lol [22:26] joaopinto I did try it witout -–with-Qt-dir=no too [22:26] joaopinto: thanks! [22:26] Drk_Guy it may not be safe from hacking... but any malicious script ran within sandboxie will not affect windows as changes are not written to the HDD [22:26] I kind of suspect it manipulates MIME types, maybe I'll look it up later [22:26] Bllz, you probably need some gstreamer codecs for avi [22:26] thanks [22:26] Bllz, and thanks - I've quite a jewfro in fact :) [22:26] jewfro... but it's motion jpeg... now i'm lost [22:26] omid: maybe you should search online for a premade .deb for buntu [22:26] omid, you shouldn't use the --with-qt-dir at tall, the configure script is expect to detect your qt dir [22:26] Drk_Guy that means if you run a virus, script, etc from a browser or another app within sandboxie and then close it, it all disappears without a trace [22:26] mynetdude, Ok .. i think so, but it would be the same as UAC, and UAc is very hacked by now [22:26] :} [22:26] omid, assumed you have installed the libqt dev package [22:26] Bllz, oh sorry, not sure about that - but you could check the ubuntu wiki multimedia page [22:27] Drk_Guy UAC is hackable already? sheesh [22:27] Bllz: Avi files can contain video in any of a variety of codecs. It isn't wrong to ID the file as AVI. [22:27] mynetdude, haxx0rs are 1337, XD [22:27] stroyan. gotcha. any idea how to play a motion jpeg? [22:27] mynetdude, Drk_Guy could you please stop doing offtopic channel ? please join #ubuntu-offtopic [22:27] Bllz: mplayer [22:27] erm, chat [22:27] and what's this .deb ? [22:27] gordonjcp.. tired it but it doesn't work properly... i get audio but mostly black with an occasional flicker of image [22:28] hm [22:28] omid: .deb is a debian package [22:28] omid: its a premade install file, like a .exe in windows. .deb is what buntu uses [22:28] Bllz: what's the source video from? [22:28] its ontopic because I heard that it is not easy, but doable to hack into root from a non root user in linux [22:28] funkyHat, 512MB RAM, 1.2 GB swap [22:28] gordonjcp: a digital camera [22:28] i just copied the file to the desktop [22:28] Bllz: ah [22:28] mynetdude, I don't see anything ubuntu related on your question... [22:28] Bllz: yeah, they sometimes have "funny" files [22:28] I found http://www.qrivy.net/~michael/blua/bioapi/ at read me file [22:28] omid: its just the same software, but prepackaged to make it easier to install, compiling from source has to detect a lot more info and make no assumptions [22:28] Bllz: maybe you can try recoding it with avidemux [22:28] mynetdude, you are misinformed [22:28] what I should download from this site? [22:29] gordonjcp: what's the package for that? [22:29] Bllz: You could try the vlc-nox package and the vlc player. Or transcode with the mjpegtools package [22:29] ffs [22:29] Bllz: just avidemux [22:29] joaopinto you really like to get on people's cases... people are better off in #linux with your chow [22:29] stroyan: i laredy have both [22:29] chow? [22:29] gordonjcp: i'll give it a shot thanks [22:30] funkyHat, sorry for the late reply; logged in this laptop as trippss with 2 esses so I didn't get notification === Freeaqingme is now known as Robinsk| [22:30] gordonjcp: avidemux can play it ... so i'm a bit confuzzled at this point [22:30] sup channel [22:30] i did something wrong i think === DASPRiD is now known as |Robinsk [22:31] Bllz: mplayer is very good at what it does, avidemux is very good at what it does, but these are not both the same thing ;-) [22:31] trippss, ok. so as far as the size is concerned you're fine. I vaguely remember something about partition UUIDs changing messing up swap and hibernate and stuff [22:31] anyone with dual screens with nvidia glx that wants to share his xorg.conf? i can't get my ubuntu with dual monitors where applications maximize on one screen instead of both [22:31] is edubuntu an addon cd for ubuntu ? i want to install it === Robinsk| is now known as Robinsk_ [22:31] Bllz: oh, and as you've no doubt figured out, mjpeg isn't just mjpeg [22:31] trippss, I can't remember where it needs to be fixed though at all [22:31] i rightclicked the floppy icon and chose "mount". then it turned to " 1.5 media" and a diskette icon [22:31] gonzoism, edubuntu is not an addon, is a differente set of packages [22:31] !edubuntu [22:31] Edubuntu is an Ubuntu derivative aimed at schools and educational institutions. For more info, see http://www.edubuntu.org [22:31] gordonjcp: yeah i guess so lol. well i'm sure that if it can play it , it can also transcode it [22:31] then later i chose "unmount" [22:32] funkyHat, I double checked that and replaced the uuid in fstab as appropriate so I'm not sure that's it. it shows up in free correctly as expected [22:32] joaopinto: I should have gone to the WICD webpage.... There is a Ubuntu package: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php [22:32] hey does anyone know who to transfer podcasts from rythmbox to an mp3 player? I have the service checked off, but I don't have the option [22:32] but it never went back to the name "floppy" it just reads "1.5 mb media" and doesnt read the diskette anymore [22:32] jjido, ah, didn't knew [22:32] trippss, there's a different file that the hibernate function uses, not fstab [22:33] funkyHat, ah I see. ok i'll see what I can dig up then === Rabbitbu1ny is now known as Rabbitbunny [22:33] how do i convert a .avi to a .mp4 so it will play on a psp [22:33] omid: if you cant find a suitable .deb to install it from, and it isnt in the repos, then youll have to try compiling it from source again. it didnt work for some reason last time, and youll need to find out what went wrong. follow the readme unless it asks you to do something stupid or dangerous. most likely problems to encounter will be missing libs or packages, which may or may not be availible in the repos. thats one of the advanta [22:33] ges of a package like.deb: it finds and installs any other packages required also. compiling doesnt do that [22:34] Whik, ffmpeg can perhaps to that === Robinsk_ is now known as Freeaqingme === |Robinsk is now known as DASPRiD [22:34] Jewfro, so just sudo apt-get install ffmep? [22:34] let me put it all in one line: i did something wrong i think: i rightclicked the floppy icon and chose "mount". then it turned to " 1.5 media" and a diskette icon. then later i chose "unmount". but it never went back to the name "floppy" it just reads "1.5 mb media" and doesnt read the diskette anymore. help! [22:34] ffmpeg* [22:34] whik, ffmpeg yes - it's command line - so do a man ffmpeg afterwords for useage instuctions [22:34] whik, if ffmpeg does support it, probably you will find avidemux more friendly [22:34] trippss, /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume [22:35] jack_spratt I'm doing that! I'm trying to install again using read me file, step by step... [22:35] Jewfro, so just type ffmpeg then the name of the file?

[22:35] whik, no the syntax is a bit more complex - why I said read the man page - if you want graphical try avidemux like joapinto said [22:35] joaopinto ill look into that one to [22:35] trippss, once that's saved you'll need to do 'sudo update-initramfs -u' to actually apply what you've changed [22:36] whik: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/menc-feat-handheld-psp.html or http://can.homeunix.org/sw/psp/ffmpeg_psp/ have HOWTOs.

[22:43] do i need to do anything in /etc/fstab ? [22:43] asmo[B]-> maybe you have to modify your event.d entries for usb? [22:43] asmo[B], there is, but I don't remember the instructions [22:43] KrimZon, yes you will [22:43] hey can anyone help me with my gui? xclient ession doesn't boot anything I can only get gui is with failsafe gnome. [22:43] please? === paradon_ is now known as paradon [22:44] KrimZon, once the data is your new partion, you want /home to be mounted from it instead [22:44] I just installed banshee, but the music does not pop up. I configured correctly the media library folder [22:45] joaopinto: would that line have a uid in it? [22:45] KrimZon, you will need to add the line for the new partition [22:45] omid: the commands arent there to copy and paste into cli? try not to get frustrated [22:46] KrimZon, you can get the ids with: sudo blkid [22:46] hitsuji: I expect you want pbuilder and module-assistant in combination. You might get by with m-a and the -l and -k options if you have the kernel source installed for the kernel you want to build for. [22:47] does anybody know of a good cheat sheet for all those nifty little system info cmds?

Is it safe to that's device 0,0,0? [22:51] v0idnull, usually, but not always [22:51] dmsuperman: how do I determine it then? [22:51] v0idnull, to be absolutely sure, i'd unplug the others and install to the only remaining one [22:51] dmsuperman, there must be, google for it :) [22:51] hey can anyone help me with my gui? xclient session doesn't boot anything I can only get gui is with failsafe gnome. [22:51] bleh ok [22:51] v0idnull as far as I know it would also depend on your bios settings [22:52] v0idnull, do they have any contents, if yes you can mount them just to be sure [22:52] how do I run a command in xterm from another terminal? [22:52] Hello, I know this has nothing to do with ubuntu but can someone help me please. Is there any difference between 667 ddr2 ram and 800 ddr2 ram? [22:52] yesyes 133 [22:52] ut2004player: I would guess the 800 is faster [22:53] can someone help me using sed? [22:53] ut2004player in what context? [22:53] man sed [22:53] does anyone know if this really makes a difference in applciation/games speed? [22:53] whats the command for listing files in a directory by page? [22:53] dick it's so hard to use, manpage doesn't help at all [22:53] haha [22:53] 1337 users [22:53] this should be the limit [22:53] ut2004player, it does, but you also need to be sure that the motherboard supports that mem speed [22:53] how do I catch user input in an input box from a shell script? [22:53] ut2004player: probably not too much. Even for games - most data will be stored on the GFX card [22:53] ut2004player not a noticable difference tbh [22:54] chelz, do you have a support question ? === ballzee- is now known as Sinister [22:54] sed is powerful but terse google it [22:54] sofiankrt, if you want a graphical box, you will need to use zenity [22:54] joaopinto: i do. i'm looking for something along the lines of ubuntu-bleedingedge but actually active [22:54] joaopinto: do I apt-get it or is it already available? [22:54] sofiankrt, it's installed by default on ubuntu [22:55] ut2004player: on ubuntu, check out the tremulous game ( #tremulous ) its a cool 3d quake engine based game [22:55] sofiankrt, man zenity :) [22:55] dick: google doesn't help either, i just wan't it to output the text between "video_id=" and "&=" [22:55] joaopinto: great! so I can get user input without the user running the script from a terminal? [22:55] calman, sed uses regular expressions, please learn about regexp [22:56] sofiankrt, yes, you should be able to achieve that with zenity [22:56] joaopinto: thanks! [22:56] ut2004player, offtopic, but just so you know 800mhz ram has been known to be a bit less stable than 667. it's really up to you, i personally have never noticed a difference [22:56] joaopinto: yeah, i understand regexp, i just don't understand sed...I thought I did but nothign's working for me [22:56] I recently blew away my XP partition and made my laptop Ubuntu only. But now, after resizing/moving my partitions with GParted, Ubuntu no longer recognizes my swap partition. Does anyone know how to fix this? [22:56] then don't google for sed but google for regular expressions, this is what sed uses [22:56] ut2004player, you might want to try irc.gamesurge.net #hardware for hardware questions though [22:56] ut2004player, they have a great bunch of knowledgeable people [22:57] oh ok thanks [22:57] saintmykill, have you run swapon for it? [22:57] No, I'm still a bit of a noob with stuff like that. How do I do this? [22:57] @ dmsuperman (sorry) [22:58] hi [22:58] hello all [22:58] hi [22:58] where do i go for wireless help in 8.04?

Would anyone be opposed if it were to be on by default? Personally, I don't see any negatives of a package survey and was wondering what others thought [22:59] calman: my guess is you need to escape the string properly === marko_ is now known as marko-_- [22:59] my mouse on my laptop (latittude d820) stops working sometimes, i can't click on things, or i can't click and drag, how can i fix it?

The noacpi, etc. [23:06] Sorry I got disconnected.

Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" [23:06] What he said. [23:06] please someone help I can't get gui [23:06] @Dasmoover, does startx work? [23:06] Dasmoover Basic information to help us help you: Which distro/release are you using, have you modified your sources.list, have you compiled programs from source, Is this a regular install or are you running in some sort of virtual machine or did you install with wubi etc? [23:07] hi [23:07] I have Feisty on a Celeron 300 192MB RAM 10GB. Do you recommend to upgrade? [23:07] jjido, the computer, yes :P [23:07] jack sparrow: I've installed a few things, im on hardy, didn't compile from source [23:07] I would try using the 8.04 server and installing Fluxbox [23:07] and other lightweight software [23:07] ok, 8.04 seems to have a lot of problems, would I be better off downgrading instead of trying to fix everything? [23:07] jjido no.. Stick with feisty as long as it is ruuning well [23:07] @Joel__, did you catch that link? [23:08] If it ain't broke don't fix it [23:08] joaopinto: don't say that! :( [23:08] Are you using GNOME? jjido [23:08] ragdham: maybe using alternate, installing a command line interface only and using the ppa for lxde. it worked like a charm for me. [23:08] Dasmoover YOu installed a few things.. from our repos or outside sources [23:08] titan_f_baby, what problems are you experiencing ? [23:08] diagorobr: thank you [23:08] raghdam: Yes Gnole [23:08] Gnome [23:08] repos [23:09] Try a more lightweight desktop manager, like XFCe [23:09] I can only get on using failsafe gnome, regular gnome doesn't do anything but display my background [23:09] or even fluxbox. If you don't like them, you can always switch back/ I noticed huge differences in a system with similar specs [23:09] anyway to reset the xclient script session [23:09] raghdam: I tried but I like the Gnome theme better for Ubuntu [23:09] Dasmoover I get that, but something had to have happened or be added or changed to cause the problem you are having. [23:10] I booted up gparted, then I couldn't edit my partition, so I rebooted into windows, partitioned, came back on [23:10] Dasmoover, have you manually edited a xsession script or similar ? [23:10] Dasmoover canyou pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list [23:10] Dasmoover: did you try logging in with a new username?

[23:35] amenado, that means the same scripts are used, because there are no major changes on the build process [23:35] In ubuntu server edition, is port 22 blocked by default? [23:36] is bluefish work well with gnome? [23:36] jdwilm: no [23:36] schmitty, yes [23:36] _empemp_: Can't remember, but I certainly remember the scrolling problems because it was a major pain. I wish I had a solution, but I was never able to get it working properly. I suspect it has more to do with an underlying driver rather than Compiz. [23:36] schmitty --- [23:36] amenado, the set packages is being properly installed by specifying the target release on the debootstrap command [23:36] does ubuntu support drive encryption? [23:36] schmitty - i prefer Kompozer [23:36] !encryption [23:36] Factoid encryption not found [23:36] Jewfro: cool [23:36] jdwilm: sudo iptables -L will show you all the rules (they are empty by default) [23:36] !drive encryption [23:36] mynetdude: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:36] oh shush! [23:36] !truecrypt [23:36] jrib: ty [23:36] Truecypt is a free open-source on-the-fly disk encryption software. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TruecryptHiddenVolume [23:36] ah truecrypt... will that work on windows XP/Vista as well? [23:37] any1 know what this means ? (EE) fglrx(0): atiddxDriScreenInit failed, GPS not been initialized. [23:37] <_empemp_> c_07: how can i check which graphic driver ubuntu is running? [23:37] mynetdude, yes, truecrypt is also available for windows [23:37] joaopinto-> well when i run debootstrap with hardy as the option parameter, low and behold, its gives me gutsy anyways [23:37] cool... [23:37] !vnc [23:37] after an upgrade, I don't get menus in GNOME; is this a known issue? I can't seem to google anything up for it [23:37] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [23:37] amenado, it works fine on me [23:38] dddddddd [23:38] dddddddddddd [23:38] usuario_, what is your question ? [23:38] anyone with an ipod touch? I can access to it's filesystem using sftp, but how do I upload music, video and photos? [23:38] sory [23:38] !pt | usuario_ [23:38] usuario_: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [23:38] joaopinto-> when you download the kernel which one did you specify..thats after running the debootstrap off course [23:38] I'm having alittle trouble with understanding how to go about VNC options for ubuntu and my windows systems... I currently have UltraVNC for windows, I couldn't find a linux version of UltraVNC even though google search reveals that there is one [23:38] parci001, check your xorg.conf file again, it there a line under the module section? [23:38] !ipod | clegg__ [23:38] clegg__: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [23:39] parci001, something like load "glx" or load "dri" [23:39] my question is, what VNC option would be suitable for both ubuntu and windows together? [23:39] amenado, I am using a script which calls: debootstrap --variant=buildd --arch "+arch+" "+release+" "+chrootdir+" http://pt.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/" [23:39] <_RainMkr_> Folks I'm struggling with moving the data directory for when using the MySQL package which ships with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. I keep getting a permissions denied error, anyone have any insight? [23:39] where release stands for the distro name [23:40] _RainMkr_, sudo mv - chown back to user if needed aftewords [23:40] _RainMkr_, when do tou get that error ? [23:40] !laptop [23:40] Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org [23:40] <_RainMkr_> joaopinto: When MySQL tries to write the log files actually. But also a warning when trying to perform the filesystem case test. [23:41] has ubuntu released an updated package for Ruby addressing the security vulnerabilities? [23:41] <_RainMkr_> Jewfro: directory permissions are not the issue. [23:41] _RainMkr_, you must chown the data dir recuservely to the mysql user [23:41] <_RainMkr_> joaopinto: already done [23:41] how do i upgrade my kernel?? [23:41] Does the latest live CD have any form of Gn/Flash? [23:41] g00se_, don't think so [23:41] Hello. :) Does anybody know if the newer Nvidia drivers will make my card run any cooler? (My 8600 is at 59C at the moment, and starts getting all funky at 61C +) [23:42] javier: It should just come down with sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade or sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [23:42] javier, updatemanager [23:42] <_RainMkr_> joaopinto / Jewfro: I should state that using the same my.cnf file, the binary downladed from mysql.com works without any problems. [23:42] javier: Or use update manager [23:42] joaopinto: Thanks [23:42] <_RainMkr_> joaopinto / Jewfro: So I really believe this is a package/build issue. [23:43] _RainMkr_, oh, it could be an apparmor profile, not sure when is already being shipped with mysql [23:43] ok thanks , so if my ubuntu is not detectiong my palm what can it be else than my kernel?? [23:43] <_RainMkr_> joaopinto: Humm... ok, what is that? [23:44] _RainMkr_, its a security kit which allows you to specific a set of rules to a given process [23:44] there is one for mysql [23:44] /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld [23:44] joaopinto-> i wonder if these options are much much different than what you used.. debootstrap --arch i386 hardy /mymountpoint http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu [23:44] who has setup grsec on ubuntu 8.04? [23:45] _empemp_: Have you checked xorg.conf? [23:45] cb__: I have, but not using the default hardy kernels [23:45] amenado, nope, it matches my format, and I have chrooted into the resulting system, it works fine [23:45] irc://66.252.13.188/12chan [23:45] Is there a reason why pulse audio won't work on a video file after the audio plays in Flash? [23:45] hi, my sound from internet platforms like youtube doesn't work... what could be the reason for this ? [23:45] And is there a fix? [23:45] crimsun_ heh i am a long time nix user but never ran it as my primary desktop [23:45] <_empemp_> c_07: No, i am not so clever in Ubuntu yet [23:45] <_RainMkr_> joaopinto: Ok, this looks promising. Thanks. Is there a daemon I need to restart after I edit this file? [23:46] _RainMkr_, sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor restart [23:46] <_RainMkr_> joaopinto: And I'm guessing that apparmor is something akin to SELinux? [23:46] hello i have a problem : xandros seames not working with my SD/MMC USB reader. when plug in it says "mount: wrong fs type" what can i do ? [23:46] ****lol xandros i mean xubuntu [23:46] _empemp_: Try "nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" in a terminal (it'll open read-only). [23:47] _RainMkr_, exactly, but uses a different approach, the security policy is filename based instead, and the rules are unix permission alike [23:48] Hi all [23:48] problem : xubuntu seames not working with my SD/MMC USB reader. when plug in it says "mount: wrong fs type" what can i do ? [23:48] <_empemp_> c_07: done, what should i look for? [23:48] joaopinto-> i can easily boot it, its the downloading of the kernel i think thats different between your process and mine, after I run debootstrap and run apt-cache search linux-image it only shows gutsy kernels, perhaps its the sources.list i used? [23:48] <_RainMkr_> joaopinto: Ok, well this more than enough for me to go off, read, and learn. Thanks so much for your help/insight! [23:48] bcardarella: you could try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 (parts A & B specifically) to stop flash from hijacking pulseaudio [23:48] amenado, yes, that is only related to the sources.list inside your debootstrapped environment [23:49] amenado, my script replaces the sources.list inside of the install target [23:49] joaopinto-> yeah, since i copied it from a working gutsy (the sources.list) then perhaps it was only showing me the gutsy kernels.. [23:49] amenado, yep, that is it [23:50] anyone else having the issue that emerald brings computer to a crawl? [23:50] problem : xubuntu seames not working with my SD/MMC USB reader. when plug in it says "mount: wrong fs type" what can i do ? [23:50] joaopinto-> okay, i'll go seek for a hardy sources.list and let me compare.. [23:50] _RainMkr_, yw :) [23:50] _empemp_: I think under the device section you will find the name of the driver. However in my case, Ubuntu seems to manage it without Intel drivers. [23:51] problem : xubuntu seames not working with my SD/MMC USB reader. when plug in it says "mount: wrong fs type" what can i do ? [23:51] <_empemp_> c_07: nothign that refers to intel [23:52] amenado,:sed -i "s/gutsy/hardy/g" /path_to_your/etc/apt/sources.list [23:52] havoque: no, emerald works smooth here .. running it on top of compiz ? [23:52] Claw6, open a terminal and run "dmesg", check the output [23:53] anyone able to successfully install the nvidia beta drivers on the server kernel ? [23:53] yes, i read somewhere that this might be a driver issue, i have geforce 8600m GT [23:53] what's the command to edit the hosts file? [23:54] typedestereo, gksudo gedit /etc/hosts [23:54] thanks [23:54] joaopinto: already done but find nothing useful to me [23:54] _empemp_: Frankly, that's the extent of my knowledge. If you're not sure you have the latest Intel drivers, you could try updating them (http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_7.04/Issues/Intel_945GM_video_issues). [23:54] ./openssl genrsa -out Rsa2048_1 2048 this only gives me a private key what is the public key, also should i be using a randomfile to seed the process. Also when i open up the file it is arranged nicely am i supposed to ignore newlines? [23:54] guys is there an essentials package if I want to build/develop c++/c software on Ubuntu [23:54] ? [23:55] havoque: hard to debug .. have you tested compiz with a different window decorator like metacity to check if it's more compiz than emerald that's responsible for the trouble ? [23:55] Chest, sudo apt-get install build-essential [23:55] Chest: Theres build-essential for compiling [23:55] with ppp connect files, how do i put a password in the config file ? [23:55] thanks [23:56] everything is ok with metacity a.k.a gtk-window decorator, it's only an emerald issue [23:56] how to find my ip? [23:56] from cli [23:56] thrashus, what are you trying to achieve with that command ? [23:56] owen1, ifconfig [23:57] joaopinto-> okay thanks.. [23:57] _empemp_: You can confirm your Intel video card version with "lspci" [23:57] joaopinto: thanks [23:57] joaopinto i'm trying to make a public/private rsa keys [23:58] glitsj16, doesn't matter, a friend of mine just found a bug report on launchpad with over 20 people experiencing the same behavior [23:59] thrashus, ssh-keygen -t rsa [23:59] <_empemp_> c_07: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) [23:59] <_empemp_> 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) [23:59] havoque: i see, hope there's a workaround that helps you out [23:59] <_empemp_> c_07: this indicates everything should be fine?
