[00:00] Xeon, did you try clicking the add button [00:00] Yeah. [00:00] Xeon, the layout is canadian/canadian [00:00] thehurley, what exactly do u want? [00:01] Xeon, I see Canada/French Canada/Frech(classic) as well as some others that are too long to ttype ;) [00:01] WalloO: Well I dont see that [00:01] So I finally did it. [00:01] macd: Really?! What desktop do you use? [00:01] After 1.5 years of debating, I decided to install Ubuntu on my desktop PC. [00:01] By desktop I mean gnome kde etc [00:01] Xeon, click add, then the layout dropdown has Canada , right? [00:02] Oney: which version ? [00:02] Yeah, nothing about those [00:02] Xeon, for keytbord layout at the top of the canadian list, there is only Canadian, and this is the layout for common canadian keyboard [00:02] I'll list the, [00:02] ok, i have windows on hd0,0 and ubuntu on hd0,5 - ubuntu is booting by default, but i need windows to boot by default (sorry I use windows for work every day) [00:02] Xeon, if I wasnt on gnome, I couldnt have told you howto open the Keyboard dialog ;P [00:02] Geez.. ubuntu is wicked awesome. I finally got it to look great... and now I can't get enough of it. xD [00:02] Anyone in here use XChat? [00:03] yeah my version of quickbooks manufacturing and wholesale does not work in Wine. the install just dies. [00:03] Is there a hardware-detection in ubuntu and how do i start it? My wlan-device is gone. [00:03] Does anyone have a guide for setting up apache for a complete newb? [00:03] macd: Oh right. Wallo0 the top one is Default which I guess is the equivalent. That one is perfect but for the at sign that doesnt work. What version of ubuntu are you guys on? [00:03] thehurley, sudo apt-get install startup-manager [00:03] murlidhar thank you [00:03] Oney, Im using it now [00:03] can anyone here get perl module cpan installs to work in 8.04? even when I add 'dontload_hash' => {"Net::FTP" => 1, "LWP" =>1 }, to Config.pm i can't disable lwp and cpan hangs [00:03] Blaqlight: how do I add more servers to auto join and stuff? [00:03] wols_, u there? [00:03] I use XChat in Windows but I can't figure it out on here. =P [00:03] Xeon, you prolly need to install the locales for your region then, Im reading install notes from the livecd, it states if you dont select the proper keyboard option at install, you can manually change it later by installing the locales package [00:04] Xeon, altCar+2 doesn't work? [00:04] macd: I got default, french dvorak, french legacy, multilingual part 1 2 and secwepemtsim [00:04] any one know a realy good font site? [00:04] Oney: did you load xchat or xchat-gnome? [00:04] XChat-gnome =[ [00:04] Xeon, then whats the problem, you said Canada/French youve got it right in front of you. [00:04] Xeon, moi j'ai ubuntu 8.04, mais avec les précédentes, c'étit pareil [00:04] Oney, goto Network then it should all be in there. [00:04] macd: Do you know how to install those local packages? [00:05] Oney: uninstall that and install xchat.. both are in synaptic.. xchat has more features (I think) and is probably a more familure interface. [00:05] Oney, that's the problem . install xchat not xchat-gnome [00:05] how do I get libglade-perl in Hardy? seems to not be in universe any more [00:05] Xeon, you already listed the right ones, you dont need to isntall anything [00:05] Wallo0, I got no altcar keys and what did you do then? [00:05] 8.04 sucks, in my opinion [00:05] macd: French dvorak is dvorak, and french legacy isnt the same as french canadian :P [00:05] is there some app I can use to transfer files to my new sony walkman phone? [00:05] DoubleD, it is ok in my opinion [00:05] I've been having a number of issues with 8.04 [00:05] DoubleD, good thing this is the support channel and not offtopic so opinions arent really needed here ;) #ubuntu-offtopic please :) [00:06] Xeon, is default Canada french ? [00:06] Those arent the one im looking for macd. Basically I want french accents, I want shift + 2 to produce " and alt ctrl 2 to produce at [00:06] Xeon, if you don't have a altCar just at the right of your space bar, this is not a canadian keyboard. Is it a standard candian french keyboard? [00:06] Its supposed to be, but my alt ctrl 2 wont work [00:06] its ontopic :p. my network chipset card is the most common chipset there is, and its not working under 8.04 [00:06] * macd thinks Wallo0 can help you better Xeon [00:06] but it was working in 7.10. so someone changed something, for the worse. [00:06] Xeon, it'S not alt+ctrl+2 it'S altCar+2 [00:07] DoubleD, topic would be howto fix your issue, not commenting on the current state of ubuntu. [00:07] Wallo0, I have both a logitech s510 and a "microsoft basic keyboard" and under windows im used to do alt ctrl 2 to make an at sign... [00:07] DoubleD, what chipset do you have (paste line from lspci) [00:07] macd: thanks for the help. [00:07] whats a nice vnc that doesn't require login? [00:07] macd: http://paste.ubuntu.com/22459/ [00:07] Xeon, ha ok.. I don't know that. I used altCar both in windows and ubuntu === edson is now known as Edson [00:07] eago, most likely whatever one you configure for passwordless login. [00:08] eago they all do. [00:08] XChat isn't in there only XChat-gnome. =( [00:08] I used Wubi. [00:08] Idk if that makes a difference. [00:08] Wallo0: Aw ok. Jeez such a shame, lunix cest 10 fois meilleur que windows :( [00:08] vnc can be set up not to accept passwords though [00:08] hi guys, how do I set up my system to boot into a shell not gnome? thanks. [00:08] is there a site I can go look at to find out why a package is removed from ubuntu? [00:08] alguem do brasil [00:08] hmm... so I can't use vnc to run a computer that has no keyboard or monitor? [00:09] eago, synergy might fit your bil of needs better. [00:09] Oney, apt-cache search xchat [00:09] Xeon, ben moi mon clavier marche. Il est possible que certains raccourcis soient différents entre widows et Gnome [00:09] correction not to require passwords [00:09] murlidhar: I'm a n00b sooo... [00:09] Not complete computer n00b but Linux n00b. =P [00:09] can i roll back a metapackage and all the packages it depends while leaving the ones that were present initially, [00:09] Oney, just type it in the terminal [00:09] eago, I use it exclusively for that here. [00:10] Wallo0: Ouin... Oh well, im gonna try reinstalling ubuntu and see what I can do. Thanks for the help. You too macd. [00:10] DoubleD, I dont see an issue there other than your nic isnt aquiring an address, does your network use static or dhcp? [00:10] Okay I did that murlidhar [00:10] Oney, type sudo aptitude install xchat [00:10] Blaqlight : synergy or vnc? [00:10] eago, both work, [00:10] macd : synergy page says it needs a monitor per computer [00:11] oh wait [00:11] Oney, did u see xchat in there ? [00:11] eago, you said no keyboard/mouse, you didnt mention no monitor ;P [00:11] !dvd [00:11] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [00:11] yeah then only VNC [00:11] It's going. [00:11] How do i open fonts:/// [00:11] I typed what Blaqlight said. [00:11] I use VNC to run my router [00:11] Blaqlight : how do you login without monitor and keyboard? [00:11] eago, ohh,you did say no monitor, sorry [00:11] @ murlidhar [00:11] :) [00:11] youve gotta set it up withone first [00:12] it has a mouse right? [00:12] cna you rmeove a monitor while the computer is on? [00:12] Oney, n ow type sudo aptitude install xchat [00:12] This may seem like a stupid question, but how do you add servers in XChat? I'm used to it having a "New Server" option in the Connect dialog. [00:12] hmmm [00:12] Blaqlight, w00t [00:12] We're good. =D [00:12] I believe this is the right place to ask this question, this computer never had a root password set to it, but it requires one to install this printer driver, I'm at a loss for what to do, is there a way to start from scratch with the root password, but preserve what's already on the computer? [00:12] (Sorry for the spam) [00:12] anyone here recommend a good rss reader for ubuntu? :) [00:13] I just use thunderbird for RSS [00:13] Peronthious, Xchat->network list... and here you can add the one you want or use one of the proposed servers [00:13] notapplicable, sudo passwd root [00:13] Peronthious: thanks, i'll give it a shot [00:13] dotech_, thunderbird... [00:13] macd: did you look at the link i gave you ? [00:13] notapplicable, the first created user is the root user. [00:13] WalloO: okay [00:13] hello [00:13] dotech_, it's very usefull to read your e-mails too... [00:13] was anybody able to install java on ubuntu 64bit_ [00:13] Thanks Murlidhar :D [00:14] notapplicable, so it would be sudo and the first created user's password [00:14] DoubleD, yes, and nothing there indicates an issue with your driver, the message your seeing in dmesg, was discussed in a kernel mailing list thread, and is also filed as a bug in Launchpad (but it is not) [00:14] WalloO: i'll check it out, haven't used it before [00:14] How do I play DVDs in Linux? [00:14] dotech_, it'S mainly does for e-mails, but the rss system is pretty good. [00:14] was anybody able to install java on ubuntu 64bit_ [00:15] LetsGo67, mythtv, vlc, etc... but first install the decss decrypter [00:15] macd: so what might be a possible solution to my problem ? [00:15] /quit [00:15] juannn [00:15] !dvd | LetsGo67 [00:15] LetsGo67: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [00:15] DoubleD, you need to determine ir your network is capable os using DHCP, or uses static IP addressing, and setup your computers network settigns to match. [00:16] I did all of that already, libdvdread3, libdvdcss2, but it still won't play Garfield. [00:17] was anybody able to install java plugin for firefox 64? [00:17] LetsGo67, what player do you tried? [00:17] DoubleD, updating to the latest kernel should help . mine got rectified by updating to the latest kernel [00:17] :D [00:17] Wallo0: vlc [00:17] LetsGo67, perhaps its the DVD itself? [00:17] Hey guys my video card has s-video output hooked up to an EDTV that I use as a secondary monitor; is there a way to get Ubuntu to treat it as a secondary monitor?

Any help? [00:18] d'oh, this is XChat-gnome [00:18] that explains a few things [00:18] Oney, what ios your video card? [00:18] heh [00:18] was anybody able to install java plugin for firefox 64? [00:18] Errr, let me check WalloO [00:18] macd: [00:18] Oney, is it nvidia or ati? [00:18] so, anyone have any thoughts on where to find out why a package is no longer available or where to get libglade-perl? [00:19] macd: like i said before, that same network card is working fine if i use ubuntu 7.10. there is nothing wrong with my network card [00:19] hello, everybody! [00:19] |Juan|, probably of lesser ram memory [00:19] <|Juan|> murlidhar, what? i have 2gb ram [00:19] |Juan|, might b e someother problem then [00:20] WalloO, RADEON X600 256MB HyperMemory Graphics [00:20] DoubleD, I agree nothing is wrong with your card, I said your network, or the configuration of it. That card is 100% supported and dmesg indicates it is working 100%, it just doesnt have an IP assigned to it, YOU need to configure it as either DHCP or static IP, depending on your network configuration [00:20] does anybody here knows how to make the digikam "create slideshow" work? [00:20] |Juan|, I wish, this box has 128mb [00:20] <|Juan|> i guess so, but i cant seem to get any tips [00:20] <|Juan|> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=823040 [00:20] hi guys, any suggestions how to get fluxbox working in hardy heron? thanks.

I'm sorry [00:20] =( [00:20] I'm trying to test ipv6 [00:20] is there a way my computer can email me if I don't own a domain name? [00:20] Oney, for nvidia, it's very easy... [00:21] anyone know if I can use SSL to connect to this network? [00:21] how to do I give myself an address using ifconfig? e.g. the equivalent of an 192.168.0.0/16 address? [00:21] thesaint4444, mine works with no problem unless i use nautilus in fluxbox [00:21] macd: i tried the 3 availble options. Roaming mode, dhcp, and static ip.. all of which did not grand me any kind of connectivity [00:21] Blaqlight: not currently. freenode has plans to eventually support ssl [00:21] DoubleD, is this wifi? [00:22] thesaint4444, installing thunar file manager can solve the prob lem [00:22] :( I don't want the FBI reading my comments.. === V1r4lF13nd is now known as Ruphous [00:22] DoubleD, sometime, you have to restart the network after a modification: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [00:22] murlidhar: hi, thanks, I just installed via apt-get fluxbox, I log out with ctrl, alt, backspace but dont get a flux box option... I am on hardy in gnome. [00:23] DoubleD, check network link lights on the card and hub/switch [00:23] thesaint4444, did you check the change session drop down? [00:23] asmig: the network link lights up [00:23] Can my TV-Tuner card work in Ubuntu or do I need a Media Center Edition Linux? [00:23] WalloO: i will try that command [00:23] Blaqlight, luckily, everything here is logged on ubuntu servers [00:24] Blaqlight: no.... - do I need to do that? thanks. [00:24] macd, the realtek 8168b is a pci express gigabit card [00:24] dd: have you tried bring the intrerface down and then back up? [00:24] Oney : you might want to c heck out MythTV [00:24] thesaint4444, log out normally instead of ctrl alt backspace and make sure u see the option in the change session tab [00:24] sudo ifdown ethX sudo ifup ethX [00:24] Blaqlight, is that an app for linux? [00:25] ubuntu [00:25] thesaint4444, just like gnome , fluxbox is run in session [00:25] blaq, if i'm not mistaken, mythtv is an open source dvr [00:25] murlidhar: winner... thanks. [00:26] Blaqlight: thanks... [00:26] Oney, my bet would be on tvtime [00:26] Blaqlight: I am in Canada but that is US one...no good for however is really good ...I am talking about Gnucash.... [00:26] Oney : you can try Xawtv [00:26] I may be wrong. [00:26] hello there [00:27] I have installed samba3 on a mandriva 2008.0 "Spring" system and it works fine. I take the same setup and put it into an Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04) system and now I'm being asked for the user password once per session when I try to open a mapped drive on windows clients, any ideas? [00:27] Blaqlight, the one you suggested looks nice but I'm a linux n00b and already can't figure it out. [00:27] Downloaded in Firefox and said to open with package manager and it just opened a bunch of folders. [00:27] guys, does anyone know why ubuntu with its GNOME so slow? [00:28] slacker__, define 'slow', it's hard to answer your question [00:28] Oney, after u install tvtime by typing sudo apt-get install tvtime , type tvtime-scanner [00:28] wildman, have a look@ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently#head-35cfd84dee9a392fa28c8795f37b6660a8786c35 [00:28] wildman, the screen is slow [00:28] a buddy of mine is getting terrible performance with a gigabit card that did quite well under Win 2003 server when he's running Ubuntu. I told him to check settings with ethtool, everything looks good. I told him to check for collisions with ifconfig, none seen. I told him to check to make sure the correct driver is being used, and it is. What else could I suggest to him? [00:28] Oney, everyone has to learn sometime. but I believe the Mythtv is indeed a DVR [00:28] macd, will do, thanks. [00:29] wildman, it talks of using a credentials file for storing user:pass, and then letting the entry in fstab know about the file. [00:29] can anyone tell me how I set up my system so that is starts in a shell not gnome? thanks. [00:29] Blaqlight it looks REALLY nice. [00:29] macd, I wonder why I have to do that... the mdv system doesn't do that... I'll check... [00:29] MythTV? [00:29] Yeah. [00:29] wildman, the samaba packages most likely have different baseline configurations on both systems [00:30] thesaint4444: check /etc/inittab to see what the default run level is set to [00:30] But it opens with Archive Manager then opens a folder. [00:30] And idk what to do. [00:30] Oney, you can use the graphical package manager, or open a terminal and sudo aptitude install mythtv [00:30] Oney, in the toolbar at the top should be an extract button, hit it. [00:30] macd, but I've backed the smb.conf file up and then wrote both from scratch, in a similar (the same, bah) way [00:30] Hi, I can't see one of my internal hard drives. Can someone help? sudo mount -a doesn't show it [00:30] macd, maybe there's some compilation option that's different on both systems... [00:30] And where do I extract it to Blaqlight? [00:30] Oney, downloading and installing applications using firefox is much more risky and complicated [00:30] Why can't DVD be open source like CD? === ath_ is now known as athe [00:31] Oney, wherever you want lol > say /home [00:31] Error [00:31] tar: /home/kevin/.fr-I1GM2u/mythtv-0.21.tar-1: Cannot open: No such file or directory [00:31] tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now [00:31] Blaqlight, maybe Oney should be encouraged to use the package rather than compiling... [00:31] slacker__, and the same system with a different OS is fast? [00:32] wildman, if your getting the pass prompt from gnome, Im not sure if the new mandriva uses the gvfs as hardy does, so that extra layer of abstraction may be causing the differences your seeing [00:32] aSmig, can you help me then? [00:32] slacker__, does your system meet the minimum hardware requirements? [00:32] Oney, you can use the graphical package manager, or open a terminal and sudo aptitude install mythtv [00:32] aSmig, perhaps. I had missed the firefox thing [00:32] macd, I'm getting the pass prompt on windows machines, no Linux clients, only the Samba server [00:32] i did sudo aptitude in term [00:32] wildman, 1.7 ghz cpu, 512 ram, geforce2 400 video card with 64mb ram on it [00:32] wildman, ohhh, really odd [00:32] Oney, aSmig is correct. [00:33] wildman, I just assumed like everyone else who comes here, you were doing the opposite ;) [00:33] wildman, my windows xp is very fast, and i tried slackware KDE, and it was fast too [00:33] is there a way to connect to wireless via command line? I looked for a howto, but i couldnt find one [00:33] macd, I've mapped a drive letter to a Samba share, if I use the Mandriva server, I get no password prompt after a reboot, it just opens the share (expected behaviour). If I do the same map thing with the Ubuntu server, it does ask for pass after reboot when trying to open the share [00:33] oney type > sudo aptitude install mythtv < into a terminal [00:33] Blaqlight , don't u think freevo is better than mythtv [00:34] <|Juan|> I have a main user whos session I keep always open.

[00:35] wildman, yeah, its odd that it continues to ask, and I've only seen that when the guest level access isnt configured [00:35] macd, what do you mean with guest level access? this: map to guest = bad user ?

[00:41] no puedo leer dvds [00:41] LetsGo67, and be careful with Elephants :) [00:41] :) [00:41] macd could you recommend a samba settings page perhaps, I'm having difficulties also [00:41] vypadkovyy: I don't know, but if you can't get any help here, try #fluxbox channel [00:42] wildman, then obviously youd want to chown nobody to your shared dir/path [00:42] LetsGo67, podés unirte a #ubuntu-es para hacer preguntas en castellano [00:42] kkathman, I use the man pages [00:42] macd, will try one by one, thx [00:42] y tu wildman [00:42] How hard is it to set up to install from an SD card? [00:42] aSmig, i use the command fbsetbg to set it, and that works beautifully. When i uncommented it in my .fluxbox/startup file and set it to the correct file, the wallpaper will flash once, and then reset back to the style's default [00:42] I'm trying to set up Ubuntu on my laptop, and I don't have any blank CDs. [00:42] macd ahh ok...I have access to be able to copy files from a winbox to linux, but not the other way around [00:42] question how do i or can i convert jpg pictures to avi or mpeg.... [00:43] vypadkovyy, is there a fbsetroot command below your fbsetbg? [00:43] <|Juan|> I have a main user whos session I keep always open. Then I have a second user for anyone else who wants to use the computer. Since I upgraded to Hardy, whenever the second user logs in after my user's session is locked, the second user automatically leaves its session, goes to the gdm screen, re-authenticates and continues with its session while mine is killed. Any help? [00:43] aSmig, yes, but it's commented [00:43] if i wanted to install a different window manager without dumping gnome and be able to go back to it [00:43] jeek, try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [00:43] freevo looks awesome. it almost makes me want to by a tv tuner for my desktop [00:44] W8TAH: Unless you specifically remove a windwo manager they will all be available to you by way of the login manager to choose [00:44] ok [00:44] hey everyone, I need some help with a C program I have to write for homework, I'm not asking someone to write it for me, I just need help debugging it, and I'm completely lost, lol. [00:44] Hi, what is the BASH command to list all my hard drives w/ their sizes and permissioins? [00:44] spoonman: Thank you. I'll take a look at that site. === Mr is now known as Guest70783 [00:45] np [00:45] aSmig, I know the command isn't bad, because I've copy/pasted it into a terminal. [00:45] vypadkovyy, hmm, sounds like you are on the right track.. there must be something else getting started later that is reseting the background color [00:45] question how do i or can i convert jpg pictures to avi or mpeg.... [00:45] aSmig, the only things that are started later are conky and fluxbox [00:45] I've tried moving the command to after fluxbox, and it still happens [00:45] arthur: a static jpg? [00:46] aSmig, in fact... i actually did it twice. once before and once after. same result [00:46] like the kind u take with a camera... i aint sure what u mean by static [00:46] Hello. [00:46] Can someone help me with a problem i'm having with ubuntu? [00:47] oldbluebox, just ask :) [00:47] vypadkovyy, anything that comes after the line starting with exec (probably exec /usr/bin/fluxbox) gets ignored because the shell is giving process control over to a different application (fluxbox) [00:47] ok cool. [00:47] Well I just installed it, and everything worked fine, I installed all the updates. [00:47] I went to change the display settings from basic to moderate (the second option) [00:47] aSmig, I figured that, but then why doesn't it work if I have it before the command? [00:47] rootyrooty: 'fdisk -l' [00:48] it prompted me to reboot, and when I did, it loads up fine, but the screen is blank. [00:48] arthur: well that would be static if it's not a motion picture.. install imagemagick (in synaptic)... then to convert go to the terminal and type "convert inputfilename.jpg outputfilename.type".. although I don't think you can convert a jpg to avi or mgeg.. those are video extentions.. [00:48] is it possible to setup an ubuntu box as a switch? i know with routed you can set it up with nat and whatnot, but i don't need nor want nat, would routed still be the way to go? [00:48] Hi, can somebody, please, tell me why my files in the /bin folder have -rwxr-xr-x+ permissions? [00:48] thesaint4444 Thanks! [00:48] So I just don't know how to make the screen appear, or to just revert it back to it's original settings. [00:49] arthur, maybe what you need is a video editing program that allows you to do a photo 'show' [00:49] rootyrooty: np.. [00:49] aSmig, the commands in order are: fbsetbg -f ~/Pictures/linux-wallpaper_167.jpg , conky & , exec /usr/bin/fluxbox [00:49] vypadkovyy, even after fluxbox starts, more stuff gets run, and something is setting your background color. You might try and work around it by making a script that will set your background image after a 5 second delay or something [00:49] dal so you want to waste an entire pc on something you can buy at the store for 10 bucks? [00:49] vl_: Because you don't want ppl to arbitrarily be able to write to system binaries in the system binary directory (/bin) [00:49] aSmig, that might work :) you think i might be able to put fbsetbg --pause 5 in it? [00:50] wildman: I'd sure like to know what's available in that venue for linux.. I"ve been looking and haven't found anything that will combine jpg or png or giv and avi,mpg etc. [00:50] <|Juan|> I have a main user whos session I keep always open. Then I have a second user for anyone else who wants to use the computer. Since I upgraded to Hardy, whenever the second user logs in after my user's session is locked, the second user automatically leaves its session, goes to the gdm screen, re-authenticates and continues with its session while mine is killed. Any help? [00:50] vypadkovyy, I don't see a --pause flag in the man page for fbsetbg [00:50] Scunizi, Kino, Cinelerra... [00:50] dal: it's my opinion that using a pc as a switch is a terrible idea [00:50] Scunizi, I'm sure there are others, didn't use any myself yet though [00:50] just buy a switch, good lord [00:50] Scunizi, I prefer photos ;) [00:51] wildman: cinelerra is a little much.. didn't now kino would combine jpg and video stuff into one file.. [00:51] aSmig, o right. i was getting that confused with the screenshot command... :P [00:51] malkav: unless you want to snarf... [00:51] try changing your fbsetbg command line to ( sleep 5; fbsetbg -f ~/Pictures/linux-wallpaper_167.jpg )& [00:51] hey [00:51] Scunizi, I don't know if it can, I just threw you some pointers [00:51] ok [00:52] hello people. [00:52] Scunizi, : you can use digikam to do that [00:52] Does anyone know a way I can boot from a linux live CD iso without burning it to CD? [00:52] vl_: I do not accept private messages. If you want to ask me questions please do this here in the public channel. [00:52] I have a windows pc behind a router. This pc has two Ethernet ports, and i was wondering if it would be possible to share its internet and files with an ubuntu box that I have, via that empty Ethernet jack. Can anyone help me out? [00:52] but why these "+" in the end? and why /sbin don't have them? [00:52] hi all [00:52] wormz: use mount with the loop option [00:52] wildman: like i said before.. I've been looking.. seen all those and many more.. still haven't found one .. but thanks. [00:52] genii: but why these "+" in the end? and why /sbin don't have them? [00:52] Scunizi, oups, sorry, ok. [00:52] !realtek [00:52] some help for recent Realtek chipsets can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b [00:52] aSmig, trying it now, thx :) [00:52] georgy28: digicam? ok.. that's one that I haven't tried..thanks! [00:52] vypadkovyy, cool, good luck [00:52] keevie: check out firestarter [00:52] sorry i needed the URL [00:53] keevie, can't you just put the Ubuntu PC behind that router too? [00:53] fraid not [00:53] Scunizi, , : digikam [00:53] its in a different room, there is only one ethernet cord to the place i have the two pcs === chaky_ is now known as chaky [00:53] plik: Yeah I can mount (with mount -t iso9660 -o loop ...) though I want to actually boot it, I'm not sure about that [00:54] looking up firestarter, thanks [00:54] exit [00:54] aSmig, that was somewhat of a success [00:54] I wish firestarter would support 64bit [00:54] |Juan|: Have you filed a bug? [00:54] YO! Got a question for you guys. How would I run two songs at once? If I were to like.. watch a youtube video, and play a song, it freezes the second one. [00:54] hola [00:54] wormz: oh yeah, booting might be a prob....maybe stick it on a usb stick if poss? [00:54] panama [00:54] aSmig, good news: the wallpaper changes on logout/login :) bad news, it i just restart fluxbox, the wallpaper changes back to style default [00:54] gano el salvador [00:54] use the isotostick.sh (google for it0 [00:54] jorge__, hola, #ubuntu-es para español... [00:55] q decis?? [00:55] <|Juan|> Flannel, how should i go about that? i made a forum thread here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=823040 [00:55] hmm [00:55] estas loco papa [00:55] vypadkovyy, hmm, then the background color must be getting set by fluxbox itself... [00:55] can you run firestarter on windows? [00:55] ! [00:55] chupame el pico [00:55] hmmm [00:56] aSmig, i think so. I believe that when fluxbox is called to start and it's style manager decorates the windows, it also applys any background changes as well [00:56] keevie: oh,sorry no I didn't read the q properl, but windows built in internet connection sharing should do what you want [00:56] aSmig, do you know how i can remove a wallpaper call from a style? because i know not every one has a different wallpaper [00:56] hey is there a way to copy all mp3 files begining with the letter c ? [00:56] vypadkovyy, seems like something that would be in .fluxbox/init maybe [00:56] Ta3v, c*.mp3? [00:56] cp c* | *.mp3 ? [00:56] Ta3v, cp c*mp3 destionation/ [00:56] ah [00:56] ty [00:56] vypadkovyy, duno about that... I haven't really messed with styles [00:56] Ta3v, destination/ I mean [00:56] Ta3v, yw [00:57] plik: can the windows thing handle the two seperate ethernet jacks, and basically two networks? [00:57] georgy28: looks like digikam will create a mpeg output of pictures.. as in slide show.. but I don't see anything that mentions being able to incorporate any video footage in the mix.. :( [00:57] vl_: See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard for a more complete picture of what dirs are for what. Briefly the binaries there need to be executable in single user mode for all users. [00:57] aSmig, thank you for your help :) [00:57] vypadkovyy, sure thing.. good luck with the rest [00:57] Why is it, that sometimes when I boot into Ubuntu, I receieve a prompt "(initramfs)?" Ubuntu does not fully boot, it looks like it is booting, and then everything goes black, and I receieve like "Debien Busy Box," and the (initramfs) prompt. The only way to fix it is if I "hard boot" down this laptop, boot into my Windows partition, and then boot into Ubuntu. [00:57] keevie: it connects to internet on one port, and the other basically NATs to whatever else you plug in [00:58] hmm [00:58] Scunizi,y : oh, sorry, you can use kdenlive [00:58] will look into it, many thinks [00:58] tahnks* [00:58] keevie: so yes, but you may need to set ip address and network detail manually [00:58] ahh [00:58] on the ubuntu [00:58] ? [00:58] anybody up for a little X debugging? Using Ubuntu Studio. X failed. [00:58] keevie: yes man ifconfig,,,, [00:58] right [00:59] keevie: google knows lots of guides to help [00:59] how to paste the error online? [00:59] genuser: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [00:59] google will be queried [00:59] keevie, "man ifconfig" is a Terminal command [00:59] genuser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [00:59] georgy28: that might work.. last time I tried it, it kept crashing on me... still a pretty new project.. I'll give it another shot. [00:59] troxor: cool. thanks. Installing now. [00:59] i know [00:59] yoyoned: thanks. :) [01:00] spoonman: not that clueless [01:00] :D [01:00] So Blaqlight I installed this thing but it's not really working. === gardar is now known as gardar`afk [01:00] http://pastebin.comf3de38803 [01:01] ^ error starting X [01:01] aSmig, sweet. I went into the theme's config file in /usr/share/fluxbox/styles folder and commented out the lines regarding the background. it works now. thanks for all your help! :) [01:02] vypadkovyy, no prob.. I bet you can get rid of the sleep stuff now in startup [01:02] aSmig, probably [01:02] genuser: bad linl [01:02] link [01:03] starting a few days ago, I started receiving ATA errors. Has this happened for anyone else? [01:03] aSmig, it's good to know that a pause command like that actually exists tho :) will come in handy === m_newton is now known as m_newton_AFK [01:03] yoyoned: sorry let me re paste. [01:04] vypadkovyy, yeah it is useful... the extra ()& stuff was to get the rest of the things in the file going without waiting for the sleep to finish [01:04] macd, didn't try all your tips, still not working... too tired for today, will continue tomorrow, thanks for your help! [01:04] ls [01:04] . [01:05] yoyoned: http://pastebin.com/f4fc3842 [01:05] aSmig, i figured so much. at first I wondered why it would let the others go ahead while one was still finishing, but then i saw the & [01:05] more application icons need to be SVG [01:05] cyphase: like most every icon in kde4.xx [01:06] vypadkovyy, yep. it is a bash trick. the () creates a sub-shell then that gets backgrounded [01:06] cyphase, vectormagic.com can change your raster images into vector ones if you like [01:06] the compiz Alt-tab switcher stretches them, and they don't look very good [01:06] vypadkovyy: it's not that important :). i don't want to have to convert all the app icons [01:06] cyphase: so can inkscape [01:06] good nite [01:06] genuser: can you paste /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:07] cyphase, alright :) === MatBoy_ is now known as MatBoy [01:07] So I uninstalled avant but now I no longer have the program switching bar, how do I get that back? [01:07] !pastebin | genuser [01:07] genuser: 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) [01:08] derenrich: program switching bar? [01:09] yoyoned: ok after starting gdm manually and kill it a few times, one of these seems to start up. KDE is in the process of starting.... [01:09] genuser: Apologies, I see earlier now you know of pastebin. The user told you to paste (not to pastebin) so wanted to pre-epmt a flood. [01:09] *pre-empt [01:09] IndyGunFreak: yeah, as in the bar at the bottom of the screen which lists open programs and lets me switch between them [01:09] genii: no worries. :) [01:09] Eek.. I was talking to people on msn [01:09] hi [01:09] Wonder if anyone answered me. [01:09] yoyoned: will paste the file anyway once this thing starts. :) running it in qemu with kqemu but this is very slow. [01:09] I'd like to adduser and password all in same line? any hints? [01:10] How do I run two songs at the same time? Like one from youtube and one from uh.. [01:10] Like.. a media player. [01:10] derenrich: oh, ok.. well, you can do one of two things.. if you like having two panels, right click your top panel, click new panel, then on the new panel, right click/add to panel, and add window list [01:10] derenrich: if you like having everything on one panel, just right click your panel and add "window selector" which puts all open windows, on a button, you hit the button, and choose the window you want [01:11] IndyGunFreak: ah that's better, but now it's all right centered... [01:11] Colin1 I can do this and i installed flash only [01:11] Colin1: if you use alsa it should share hw with different apps. You should be able to play different sounds [01:12] derenrich: its probably where you drug the icon to... if you remove it, then drag it all the way to the left, it'll probably be where you want it. [01:12] Colin1: try "killall pulseaudio" and see if that makes both streams function at the same time. [01:12] IndyGunFreak: yeah I've got it now [01:12] thanks [01:12] derenrich: np [01:13] * LetsGo67 puts his hands up [01:13] How do i install a Beryl Emerald Theme?

[01:14] emerald still exists tho === cpk1_ is now known as cpk1 [01:14] vypadkovyy: yes it does, but its got nothing to do w/ beryl, never did actually [01:14] I use compiz. You should be ok with restarting X now and then.... [01:14] to install a theme in emerald, download the tarball to a location, then open the emerald theme manager and select import, then choose the theme you want [01:14] otherwise you'll be upset. [01:14] narothepharoh: turn off your computer open your computer plug inn all cables power and alsa/scsi/dee/we and turn it on onplug it or else it will shock you [01:14] < is busy looking at emerald themes now. [01:14] IndyGunFreak, i never disputed that :) emerald is just a window decorator [01:15] IndyGunFreak, you could easily decorate beryl or compiz with metacity or kwin or anything else :) [01:15] LetsGo67: everything is plugged in I can burn cds and dvds fine just not play them?

For the swap what do I choose for primary-logical beginning-end and mount point? same question for the ext3 ubuntu partition? [01:33] okay, I'll give that a shot [01:33] cool, then mount that just like Jack_Sparrow described above [01:33] kelvin, pastebin output of ifconfig to paste.ubuntu.com [01:34] bazhang, you mean kesi [01:34] bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/22477/ [01:34] i wanna switch from pclinux to ubuntu but is it that much better and worth re doing my set up for [01:34] aSmig, actually no but thanks :) [01:34] err, I'm confused, don't mind me :) [01:34] kesi: using the free space, make 2 new partitions, a small one fow swap, and the rest for the root partition [01:34] this? whole thing? sudo mkdir /media/techsupport && sudo mount /dev/sda7 /media/techsupport [01:35] someone out there oto help me out with the server problem? [01:35] yoyoned: I understand that, I need to know this:For the swap what do I choose for primary-logical beginning-end and mount point? same question for the ext3 ubuntu partition? [01:35] darkreaction, yeah, but change sda7 to sda1 [01:35] sDVD VPLEASe VDV [01:35] kelvin, it was working before a recent kernel update? or has it ever worked. [01:35] k [01:35] dan__, use the livecd and see if you really want to switch [01:35] LetsGo67, stop [01:35] dan__ You will not get an unbias answer in here. Just get a livecd and try it for yourself [01:35] I think his keyboard is broken [01:35] bazhang: ever worked, yesterday I was trying to put it work and the green light was flashing [01:35] nah, he is testing some spam [01:36] yeh im downloading it rite now i just like the ubuntu community size more too [01:36] this is what I got sudo mkdir /media/techsupport && sudo mount /dev/sda7 /media/techsupport [01:36] dan__ How nice.. yea.. we are a fun bunch [01:36] sorry this mkdir: cannot create directory `/media/techsupport': File exists [01:37] kelvin, so it just stopped working? or you switched to ethernet (ie what prompted it to stop working) [01:37] haha [01:37] thats a shame. no server pros tonight. back tomorrow.... [01:37] iandev, check the server channel [01:37] which one? [01:37] darkreaction, looks like maybe you did it twice... the part before the && is a separate command that only needs to happen once [01:37] #ubuntu-server [01:37] bazhang: I just installed Ubuntu yesterday and it never worked, only flash when I was trying to get it work with the windows driver [01:38] dan__-> you can also install ubuntu in a separate partition (5gig+) and use the same swap space you currently use.. [01:38] thanks bazhang... [01:38] darkreaction, ls /media/techsupport to make sure nothing is in there, and then do the mount /dev/sda1 /media/techsupport part again [01:38] bazhang: I remember that when I installed ubuntu 6.04 it worked out the work... [01:38] kelvin, you dont need the windows driver with that; you need to undo what you did first [01:38] hi all. I am trying to dual-boot vista/ubuntu. I have a 200 GB partition that I made during vista setup to use for ubuntu. I am at the part of the install where it wants me to manually create partitions for ubunutu.

[01:39] kesi, any reason not to use the guided install? [01:39] yehh i mite do that but i swapped out my big hd to use it to install linux on my ps3 the other hd in this box is pretty small gotta upgrade [01:39] bazhang: so I went to Windows Wireless Driver and deleted the driver... [01:39] kesi, you got an answer from yoyoned [01:39] kelvin, is this linuxmint? [01:39] I can't seem to figure out why I can't get pictures to fully load in firefox 3 [01:39] bazhang: it won't let me. It says something about there not being enough 'free' space..... the rest of the partition is formatted ntfs [01:39] aSmig: it didn't answer my question. [01:40] am thinking about triple booting my macbook pro; best to go 8.04? [01:40] bazhang: What is linuxmint? [01:40] Please! [01:40] bazhang: I have to uncomment this: # replaced by b43 and ssb.

[01:40] kesi, sorry, I didn't see your request for clarification from yoyoned [01:40] kelvin, where do you see 'Window Wireless Driver'<----in what menu [01:40] the first one gives me smkdir: cannot create directory `/media/techsupport': File exists [01:40] bazhang: System-> Administration [01:41] darkreaction, looks like maybe you did it twice... the part before the && is a separate command that only needs to happen once [01:41] could there be a problem that I don't know about? [01:41] iandev-> what is your external ip address? so i can check [01:41] kelvin, what version of ubuntu is this [01:41] iandev, : I have the same router, and I had to upgrade the firmware to do it work like you want [01:41] ya thats the first part [01:41] darkreaction, ls /media/techsupport to make sure nothing is in there, and then do the mount /dev/sda1 /media/techsupport part again [01:41] bazhang: 8.04 32 bit [01:41] kelvin, please pastebin sources.list to paste.ubuntu.com [01:42] bazhang: I tried this too: http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi&n=howto-iwlwifi, but it give me error in some part of the installation [01:42] Anyone know where I can find this theme for Emerald? http://www.gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=2&id=45402&file1=45402-1.png&file2=45402-2.jpg&file3=&name=Scaled+Black+Mod [01:42] georgy28: firmware update... hum... [01:43] back in a second. [01:43] amenado: got ip? [01:43] iandev, : that was the only issue ;) [01:43] DVD [01:43] georgy: ill check that... [01:43] LetsGo67: are you sure you installed libdvdcss2 correctly? [01:43] iandev-> i did a quick check...you port 80 is not showing up.. assuming your ip addy is same as what you are chatting with now [01:43] IndyGunFreak how do I check? [01:44] Anyone know some good desktop addons? Little widget like stuff? [01:44] LetsGo67: how did you install it? [01:44] Christoph_82, with compiz screenlets [01:44] IndyGunFreak ran a script. [01:44] LetsGo67: a script? [01:44] LetsGo67, what script [01:44] why would you run a script to install libdvdcss2? [01:44] bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/22478/ [01:45] Christoph_82, without compiz gdesklets [01:45] amenado: i guess so...201.74 [01:45] LetsGo67: 1 command <> a script [01:45] georgy: what was your firmware version? [01:45] iandev-> confirm your ip is 201.74.144.137 ? [01:45] would it be off-topic for me to ask a thunderbird (linux version) question in here? [01:45] amenado: yes [01:46] LetsGo67: well i don't know what you did, but do what i told you earlier, and yuou should get dvd support just fine [01:46] iandev-> i did a quick check...you port 80 is not showing up....so its blocked by you or by your ISP [01:46] iandev a moment please [01:47] ok i think i got the lines to work [01:48] amenado: in server /etc/hosts file waht should i have? have only 127.0.0.1. Is it correct? [01:48] iandev, V2.05 [01:48] IndyGunFreak: even my sister can't read dvd with vlc [01:48] LetsGo67: then she hasn't installed DVD support right either.. [01:48] i don't know what more i can tell you, i've told you what to do, and you keep asking the same question [01:48] georgy: mine is V3.20 [01:48] LetsGo67, you got the solution, please follow it. [01:48] Hello where can I get a default /etc/passwd file? Mine got screwed up. [01:48] LetsGo67: if two people do the wrong thing, then its not gonna work for either of them. [01:49] Anyone familiar with stella? Does the sound work ? [01:49] iandev-> you use /etc/hosts to resolve an outside address..as a minimum yes you need 127.0.0.1 [01:49] IndyGunFreak: libdvdread: Can't allocate memory for file read! [01:49] stiv2k: there isn't one [01:49] yoyone1: what do I do now? [01:49] IndyGunFreak: 3GB RAM [01:49] what's wrong [01:49] LetsGo67: unless you're gonna listen, don't bother me anymore... i've told you what to do, yet you keep telling me your errors, your error is pounding on your keyboard [01:49] kelvin, in your systems administration there is an entry called windows wireless drivers? or is this inside another item [01:49] yoyone1: my /etc/passwd file got erased when I tried to add a new user via the GNOME users and groups setting. [01:50] amendo: shouldnt i have something like 192.168.0.50? [01:50] iandev : so it have to work then ;) [01:50] IndyGunFreak: can you repeat please? [01:50] jeez [01:50] how do you mount ext3 as read and write in hardy ( need example line of codes for /etc/fstab ) thank you very much [01:50] bazhang: you are right [01:50] georgy28: it seems so... ;) [01:50] !medibuntu | LetsGo67 go here, and follow the instructions to add the medibuntu repo, then install libdvdcss2, following the instructions [01:50] LetsGo67 go here, and follow the instructions to add the medibuntu repo, then install libdvdcss2, following the instructions: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [01:50] stiv2k: try opening terminal and typing passwd [01:50] iandev-> that could be an additional entry...as i have said minimum is 127.0.0.1 [01:50] aSmig, I got it mounted [01:50] LetsGo67, install libdvdcss2 from medibuntu, then the dvd will play; stop repeating the same question [01:50] So far, I've gotta say... Really NOT impressed by Hardy Heron. No xmms. Expert installer doesn't allow package selection. sources.list is empty by default after a barebones install. And there's no BitchX! [01:51] darkreaction, cool, do an ls /media/techsupport to make sure you have the etc, root, home and all that good stuff [01:51] kelvin, it is inside another item, or there is an item by that name (A or B<---two choices here) [01:51] shift_-> barebones install? which method you used to do the install? [01:51] yoyone1: I can still log in but I cant start X or use sudo or do anything [01:51] am i the only one that finds it ironic when a linux user complains about not getting everything spoon-fed? [01:52] shift_: The current version of BitchX has security problems. I'm not surprised it was taken out [01:52] stiv2k: how do you log in [01:52] amenado: Boot off AMD64CD, F6, Expert Install, go through install process normally, but skip "select and install packages" [01:52] bazhang: B [01:52] how do you mount ext3 as read and write in hardy ( need example line of codes for /etc/fstab ) thank you very much [01:52] aSmig, ya all good [01:52] fence, no it is ironic [01:52] yoyone1: im forced to use the console right now [01:52] darkreaction, good, now chroot /media/techsupport [01:52] QUILz: I'd not heard of this. Got a link? [01:52] yoyone1: the root password got erased [01:52] amenado: ill try to change port to 8080 [01:52] yoyone1: or something [01:52] fence : you are not the only one :) [01:53] kelvin, then it must be ubuntu ultimate or linux mint or other 'ubuntu-based' distro; my own gnome has no such entry. [01:53] shift_-> Expert install meant you know what you are doing , you dont need a selection menu to select from eh? [01:53] so x won't start on me and dpkg-reconfigure opens a ui that i can't control, tips? [01:53] aSmig, OK [01:53] bazhang: so this is not the original? [01:53] stiv2k: do you know how to use a recovery cd likesystem rescue cd [01:53] IndyGunFreak: I did all of that and it crashes. [01:53] shift_: http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2007-3360 and http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2007-4584 [01:53] yoyone1: so I have to reinstall? [01:53] yoyone1: this is bullshit [01:54] bazhang: thank you. [01:54] bazhang: I downloaded it from the official webpage [01:54] darkreaction, that's it.. you are now in your regular system.. you will notice that /proc is empty but otherwise things should work as expected [01:54] amenado: The installer is boked - There's no method of selecting packages at all. If you select that option, it just starts installing random crap. === lolcatz is now known as UserNobody [01:54] stiv2k, no cursing please [01:54] QUILz: Thanks! [01:54] darkreaction, and if you need anything from proc, you can mount /proc [01:54] stiv2k: no, boot a live cd,chroot into system, and type passwd in terminal to redo root password [01:54] shift_ if you want the very basic without even the kernel, use debootstrap install technique [01:54] yoyone1: but i lost _all_ the other passwd entries [01:55] yoyone1: the default system ones [01:55] darkreaction, when you are done, umount /proc; exit and don't forget to umount /media/techsupport before restarting [01:55] amenado: What I was looking for was linux+bash+apt+associated things needed to boot. [01:55] how do you mount ext3 as read and write in hardy ( need example line of codes for /etc/fstab ) thank you very much [01:55] once you get a root password, you can use the root acount to enter the passwords for the other users stiv2k [01:56] What do i enter to find out info on my hardware [01:56] yoyone1: they arent real users, just users like `gdm` and stuff [01:56] !password [01:56] Forgot your password? Boot into recovery mode. What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [01:56] bazhang: i cant use sudo [01:56] shift_-> i believe debootstrap will provide that for you.. offcourse you need linux as minimum and just apt-get install pkgname as needed [01:56] stiv2k, use livecd to reset [01:56] UserNobody, take a look a/usr/share/doc/mount/examples/fstabt [01:57] Any idea how to run 2 songs at once? [01:57] bazhang: ok [01:57] amenado: I'll have to look into it, then. Never ran debootstrap before. [01:57] This is in terminal. What do i enter to get the hardware detail [01:57] !dvd [01:57] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs === eric is now known as Guest49754 [01:57] amenado: Don't suppose you know why every distro and their mother is getting rid of XMMS?

[01:58] Stop the banozrding [01:58] This is in terminal. What do i enter to get the hardware detail?? [01:58] Any idea how I can check? [01:58] try playing with oss or pulseaudio [01:58] UserNobody, no problem [01:58] bazhang: Geez, that guy still acting up?? [01:58] m_newtwon sudo lspci, sudo lshw [01:58] well it depends on the the program, different apps choose different sound servers [01:58] stiv2k: I don't think every etc/passwd file is the same [01:58] genii, sadly yes [01:59] and you may well always be running a few [01:59] how do I search for a package name? [01:59] Ok, well I just set all the boxes to OSS [01:59] theres alsa, oss and now pulseaudio [01:59] Gonna try running two now. [01:59] and check dependancies [01:59] so yeah try oss, see if that freezes [01:59] hello all... is there a version of ubuntu for a G4 processor?

I get no hits on a dpkg -l '*kolab*' [02:04] bazhang: I guess [02:04] Not sure what that is.

This has been happening for me since switching to Hardy ... doesn't matter if I try to use Pulse or ALSA... same thing every time. [02:27] tofaffy: sounds like lack of composite in your videocard [02:27] ace_suares: No, that only has a list of what modules to load at boot.

Since I upgraded to Hardy, whenever the second user logs in after my user's session is locked, the second user automatically leaves its session, goes to the gdm screen, re-authenticates and continues with its session while mine is killed. Any help? [02:44] system>administration>system monitor [02:44] what users i have to log in as [02:44] then hit the tabs and check out whats going on [02:44] you can login as any user [02:44] i mean [02:44] Xeon, grndslm i got it tough [02:44] users that are set up on the machine [02:44] do you have to log in as to do what [02:44] kelvin, and the second is for intel.

[02:45] I would like to log in as admin/root [02:45] but thats more a redhat/fedora thing [02:45] grndslm: then select your kb lauyout (USA ?) then Layout options. [02:45] bazhang: sorry [02:45] ubuntu/debian focuses on giving more power to the superuser [02:45] but i dont remember setting up a root [02:45] yeah cos you didnt [02:45] oh [02:45] grndslm: then Composite key position [02:45] you did however type in something like joshua when you set the machine up [02:45] !mint | kelvin [02:45] kelvin: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate [02:46] it needs a user of some kind [02:46] i type reboot and it says i have to be root [02:46] that has rootlike powers when asked to do so [02:46] but it doesnt need one called root [02:46] !sudo | JoshuaP0x [02:46] JoshuaP0x: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [02:46] yeah [02:46] i only setup one user, that's me [02:46] thats it [02:46] ace_suares: Compose key position?? [02:46] sudos what you want [02:46] [Q] I'm trying to set up check_hpjd for nagios on my ubuntu server. I need to install net-snmp but cant find it in the repository's, could it be named some thing else? [02:46] bazhang: how I know if this is not the original ubuntu? [02:46] grndslm: yeah [02:46] where's that? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:47] grndslm: are you on Gnome ? [02:47] oh yea [02:47] that mean it makes joshua the SuperUser and makes you DO stuff [02:47] fabz0r: he he yeah [02:47] ie: sudo joshua mkdir dirname [02:47] fabz0r: no, 'sudo mkdir dirname' [02:47] Genii? [02:47] fabz0r: leave out the joshua. [02:47] can someone with a hardy install do me a favor? open up System --> Preferences --> Removable Drives and Media. do you have a tab that says "Storage" ? on my hardy install, i don't have it. I had to disable auto CD mounting via the gconf-editor. is there a new gui for doing this or is my setup just messed up? [02:47] kelvin, how about giving us a screenshot [02:47] oh yeah [02:48] thats true your already logged in [02:48] fabz0r: have to be logged in ;0 [02:48] grndslm: found it ? [02:48] what's the fastest way to setup sharing between my ubuntu desktop and my windows laptop [02:48] aye my bad [02:48] brb plugging in the infernal cable again [02:48] ace_suares: so, in gnome keyboard prefs, click on layout options, then compose key to Left win-key?? [02:48] alex__: Yes :) So in this case use Terminal then put in: dmesg|tail and then copy that to pastebin. We need to find what drive devicename it gets before we can try to make it mount. [02:49] grndslm: or any key you want. Let's say it is Win, then type Win, ", e to get ë [02:49] Why isn't "Playonlinux" in the Ubuntu respos [02:49] grndslm: not Win-"-e ! just win, ", e [02:49] bazhang: http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/107/screenshotel7.png [02:50] asmo[B]: try Places -> Connect to Server [02:50] asmo[B]: from the Gnome Menu [02:50] ace_suares: doesn't work [02:50] so, does anybody know how to make terminator have the same opacity-lowering effect as gnome-terminal? I want the border and text to stay 100% opacity, but the background of the terminal to go down in opacity [02:50] grndslm: what did you type ? [02:51] Win + e?? [02:51] or are you sayin' Win pause " pause e?? [02:51] kelvin, well that is the ubuntu livecd; what about a screenshot of your system -->administration menu in the installed version? you installed broadcom drivers for your intel wireless card? please also pastebin output of lspci to paste.ubuntu.com [02:51] grndslm: no, you need Win, ", e so win, double quotes, e... what letter you want to get anyway ? [02:52] bazhang: I will restart and come back [02:52] * ace_suares is leaving da house in 5 minutes. [02:52] ace_suares: last line was more understandable [02:52] thanks! [02:52] Is ubuntu pretty friendly with wireless internet cards? [02:52] DrLame, what card [02:52] I remember that was my problem last time I tried to set it up..

[02:55] in what file is the $PATH variable defined in Hardy Heron? [02:55] I think it's a usb module [02:55] DrLame, the lsusb :) [02:55] bazhang: http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/3448/screenshotko0.png [02:56] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff lukas__ here again [02:56] bazhang: I don't installed that Broadcom drivers [02:56] lukas__: did you read that forum post I pasted?

[02:57] so i can not install programs for k on u? [02:57] !kubuntu | JoshuaP0x [02:57] JoshuaP0x: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE [02:57] DrLame, that will tell us how good it is so we can tell you :) [02:57] don't suppose anyone knows a linux app for easily reencoding a video for play on a psp?

[03:13] lukas__: did you follow this part of it? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Hardy [03:13] yes [03:13] Turns out that the 3D games seemed to work better, but Gnome was messed up [03:13] So, I decided it might be a good idea to revert to the original drivers [03:13] Question: Whenever I access something that requires my admin password (Update Manager, etc.) the background goes slightly gray/dark....

[03:44] shelbyscates-> do you have other host on same lan to awaken your box? [03:44] but it takes so long to start the sistem [03:44] natalisushka: Assuming you power down properly, it only does it every... like 30 reboots or something. You can change that number, but it is something you have to do without the system running fully (which is why it happens at startup) [03:44] spoonman, icedtea comes with openjdk doesnt it? [03:44] it tooks at least 3 minutes to start [03:44] hey [03:44] i'm having a problem [03:44] That doesnt work either [03:44] shelbyscates: maybe there is another solutuion, what are you trying to get done [03:44] when before, it tooks only 30 secs [03:45] when i logout, x won't restart it just sits there showing my background and doesn't restart like its supposed to, i have to manually restart it [03:45] Im sure is a module problem [03:45] related with the BTTV [03:45] amenado: yes, i do, i have one server that stays on for a year at a time and i reboot every chirstmas, im going to use that to send the magic packet, i think my problem is A: im not shutting it down right (hard off or soft off) i just run sudo halt, and maybe it needs to suspend or something, but i dont know how to do that from the command line! :( [03:45] but I want to disable the automatic loading === root is now known as Guest70856 [03:45] for this specific device [03:45] all i need to do is get my computer to turn on by itself at a time i specify.

For your PC to turn on every morning? [03:46] even if it's remote desktop [03:46] asmo: you can try sharing this device using Samba [03:46] erpo: yes, thats ALL AND MY LIFE WIL BE FULFILLED [03:46] shelbyscates: That's often a BIOS setting. [03:46] lol [03:46] Kyrin: mine dosent, just the wol setting :( [03:46] Flannel, I know what you're talking about. But it's not it! It's not that checking with a loading bar like ----------- with a slash going around. It's just something like * Checking file system .. and then fsck 1.40 something ... that's it! And sure I do power down properly. This happens on the two laptops that I have with ubuntu [03:46] it dosent have a timed wake setting, just a wol setting :( [03:47] kreig: I've installed the Samba package but, am unsure as to how to set it up [03:47] shelbyscates: Look carefully.

[03:47] grtessman: do you have "Sun Java 6 Runtime" installed?

[03:48] aaron: If you want that effect, try avant-window-navigator. [03:48] natalisushka: You should install bootchart (its in the repos) and then you'll get a fancy output of what exactly is taking so long [03:48] i think my problem is that im not hibernating it right [03:48] or something that sounds like it [03:48] How do i get a shortcut of my hard-drive onto my desktop?

Thanks. [03:49] shelbyscates i thing you may need a hardware solution, a dongle that could create a lan WOL signal at a specified time would prolly suffice, [03:49] well, I installed Sun Java 6 Runtime, Icedtea, and OpenJDK Java Runtime [03:49] ive heard that some bios's only support soft off (suspend to ram) or hard off (suspend to hard disk) i cant do either of those because i have to do it from the command line! [03:49] anybody knows how to free up used memory [03:49] shelbyscates-> i dont know which tutorials you followed, so it hard to find out wht you have done 3 times [03:49] I just have a question about the separtors...how do I place items on the dock in a certain order?

[03:51] you could have a relay connected to the start button off a timer however if it were on it would turn it off as well.

What would you like me to do here? [04:46] hololight_: where would I change that? [04:46] danbhfive, The top 4 are checked and the fifth has a line through the checkbox [04:46] Under third party tab ... canonical repositories arent chcked [04:47] snarkster: no .. i have the cd .. not another pc with it already installed .. sorry [04:47] danbhfive, under updates.. Important and Recommended are the only ones checked === kumarphilly is now known as I [04:47] dru hmm ok === I is now known as kumarphilly [04:47] danbhfive, and Check daily with a notify about available updates [04:47] ok i'm unsure if anything like this exists.... but you know what happens when you use control + r? is there a way to have that *always turned on*? i.e. as you're typing it's constantly matching previous commands you run? [04:47] I just got a numeric pad for my laptop. But in order to use it I have to turn on the Num Lock, making my text keyboard not to recognize letter... Is ther a way to avoid that?? [04:48] 44.3415371 isapnp: checksum for device1 is not valid (0x89) [04:48] so what am I looking for? [04:48] Dex-Freudii: nope there are several issues with numlock for laptops. [04:48] jga23: not sure [04:48] snarkster: is that only in ubuntu or in any operating system including windows? [04:48] grtessman: yeah, i dunno, I guess your sources is ok. The error still is indicating bad sources. Maybe you need to run a sudo apt-get update [04:49] did the latest kernel update break wifi for anyone else here? [04:49] um possibly others but I really wouldnt know. Being this is an ubuntu channel. sorry I couldnt be more helpful [04:49] ok, the error indicates the package isnt available. I did an update earlier today for about 13 different things. [04:49] nope Hammer89 [04:49] SweetJimmy, ask your question, with your details, and all info,,,, [04:49] danbhfive, if you completely remove using Synaptics, you will not be able to get it back. [04:49] i need to reboot bbl [04:50] snarkster: I don't plan to move to another operating system, just wanted to know whether it is a hardware issue or software [04:50] heyhey [04:50] danbhfive, since the package just isnt available. But you'll have to "completely remove" [04:50] im thinking of installing 7.1 [04:50] Is there any software to check what computers are connected to the network? MAC Address, IP Address, Computer name, and so on. [04:50] so can i use new xorg driver on the older distro? [04:50] jga23: check this, it may help http://www.howtoforge.com/ssh-best-practices [04:51] hmm i remember saying before that 8.1 go my radeon 3870 work [04:51] eyyYo, it depends on which network [04:51] 44.3415371 isapnp: checksum for device1 is not valid (0x89) is the only thing that pops up on my screen. Then the machine reboots. I am trying to do a clean install. I am wondering if there is anything I can do. It will not load anything. [04:51] how do I make files and directories in another user's home directory with sudo or otherwise, but have the permissions be fore that user instead of having to chown everything everytime [04:51] SweetJimmy, looks like you need to re-download tho, but without more info i'm shootin' in the dark [04:51] Raza: Well, its a network with a couple of computers connected through a switched router. [04:52] grtessman: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/s/sun-java6/ there are the packages, Ill try removing completely, and see what happens [04:52] SeaPhor, yeah I can't even check the CD, it just fails instantly [04:52] SweetJimmy, what cd is it? [04:52] eyyYo, if the router has a menu, you can check it there [04:53] danbhfive, I just did sudo apt-get update, then ran sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin Package sun-java6-plugin is not available, but is referred to by another package [04:53] Thats true, my bad. [04:53] Raza, thank you :) [04:53] SeaPhor, the install CD. JUst downloaded it tonight [04:53] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [04:53] is only available from another source [04:53] eyyYo, there is a distro but i don*t know the name. it*s on tecchannel [04:54] a live cd [04:54] I'm not able to get tightvnc to work on my ubuntu-desktop [04:54] SweetJimmy, what did you download it with, what did you burn it with, what speed did you burn it at,,,,? [04:54] snarkster: you there? [04:54] Raza, probably backtrack :) [04:55] yeah [04:55] everything you need [04:55] SeaPhor, DOwnloaded with Firefox, burned with Nero at 4X. Also tried it in VPC to see if I could get more info and get an unrecoverable processor error [04:55] In case someone is interested: I found a way to use a usb numeric keypad in laptops without turning on NumLock: Go System/Preferences/Keyboard and then Distribution Options -- Compatibility Misc Options -- Select Numeric Keypad Keys work as with Mac [04:56] sudo apt-get source sun-java6-plugin -->>E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list [04:56] SweetJimmy, re-download,,, which one, btw, the live or alternate,,,? [04:56] grtessman: yeah, I dont know, but it is working for me. maybe you could try checking that ubuntu-desktop is installed. But, im out of ideas. sorry [04:57] danbhfive, it's is working from you because you have it archived and u are re-installing [04:57] SweetJimmy, md5sum ? [04:57] guys,how to remove that brown colour comes just before the desktop loads in ubuntu [04:57] grtessman: no, its redownloading it [04:57] danbhfive, can you paste me your sources list? [04:57] grtessman: I removed, cleaned, and then installed, it d/l'ed and installed [04:57] SweetJimmy, and thats good, burn at lowest speed possible, not that it cant, just make it good ;-) [04:57] ragsagar: desktop options [04:57] hey i have a samba server setup but its having a hard time adding the systems when i connect to the domain [04:58] danbhfive, ok, then I dont know what's going on.

Im using intel, 32bit [04:58] i am having problem with display after upgrade to hardy heron [04:58] its a domain setup with ldap [04:58] auth [04:58] ragsagar: ah... thought you were using gnome [04:58] SweetJimmy, and maybe try a different dl site... [04:59] danbhfive, which link did you post earlier? Let me scroll up. [04:59] Dex-Freudii, iam not , but to remove that screen i will install that utility,can u name it? [04:59] why are my drives /dev/sd* since i upgraded to hardy when before they were /dev/hd* ? [04:59] SeaPhor, ok. Is there an easy way to install this on Virtual PC? I don't want to earase my system and not be able to get it working [04:59] ragsagar: it is not a utility, I was refering to desktop options in gnome , sorry [04:59] Dex-Freudii, tat utility for removing brown screen in gnome [04:59] yes got it [05:00] ragsagar: it would be right-click on desktop and change the background colour [05:00] Dex-Freudii, it will bea small utility isnt it, eg for changing resolution and drivers ,we use displayconfig-gtk...Like tat [05:00] danbhfive, yah sorry I missed that. These are all the deb and gz packages on nultiverse [05:00] ragsagar: it would be right-click on desktop and change the background colour [05:00] Dex-Freudii, oh [05:01] ok [05:01] grtessman: yeah, thats right where apt would get them. It just checks your net connection...

I'll also try your sources and see if that makes a difference. [05:02] grtessman: yeah, hope it works out [05:02] Beryllium, install it and remove just acpi :P [05:02] Beryllium: Sure, sudo apt-get --simulate install ubuntu-desktop, then it'll give you a list of packages, copy that list, remove acpi, and install all those manually [05:02] danbhfive, yah me too - thanks again. === ce_cuabiez is now known as [cE_ExEmpHe_Fz_Y [05:03] somebody help me,i want to remove that brown screen which blinks just after the splash screen === mbbrutman is now known as mbbrutman2 [05:03] how can I avoid F-Spot to autorun when I plug a flash drive with photographs in it?

[05:05] Lukipela: yep, but you'll need the alternate CD for that [05:05] does 8.04 come with hfs+ support built in? Or will I need to tinker w/ my kernel post install? [05:05] ragsagar: open admin>login window>local tab change background color [05:06] I notice a stranger pattern: I have XP and Ubuntu in my PC. I have an Nvidia 9600 gt card. In Ubuntu, I have the accelerated graphics drivers installed. However, there are times I log into Windows then restart the machine and switch to Ubuntu and the machine locks up at the Nvidia splash screen. It's got static or white grain all over it and doesn't proceed to Ubuntu. Reinstalling the drivers solves the problem... for a w [05:06] hile. Can logging into XP corrupt Ubuntu's Nvidia drivers? [05:06] So using the alternate CD shouldnt give me any problems for 8.04 ?? [05:07] Hello crowd: having problem with screen resolution ...the fonts so small....any1 can help me please? [05:07] Zeker: nop. but it can do something with the card itself or firmware... but it is strange [05:07] thanks [05:07] I just dont want to start formatting the systems 15gb drive if i dont need to. [05:07] Lukipela: shouldn't === selocol_ is now known as selocol [05:07] Dex-Freudii, appreciate the help! [05:07] Lukipela: but maybe you want to try xubuntu [05:07] is it normal for apt-cache show to list a package twice? [05:08] Dex-Freudii, if what you're saying is true, then I'm probably not the only person experiencing this...

[05:08] I am using ubuntu v7.10, i want to using openldap + cups , but i don't install its. You can help me? [05:09] dex-freudii... huh? I'm talking about nvidia drivers! [05:09] Zeker: lol... ok.. sorry [05:09] every time I do "apt-cache show ", it spits out the package info twice [05:09] this [05:09] space [05:09] is [05:09] for [05:09] rent [05:09] sorry [05:09] mbbrutman2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:09] Zeker: I don't know if it is true or not... I'm just trying to make a good guess [05:09] it's all good, dex [05:10] Zeker: what's for sure is that windows does not affect the ubuntu driver [05:10] dex-freudii: yeah, I understand. But your guess makes sense. [05:10] okay, maybe not every time -- which is even odder [05:10] Dex-freudii, I'm taking this to the #nvidia chan, maybe they can help. [05:10] but it does it with mythtv and firefox [05:11] Zeker: good idea [05:11] never mind, I didn't notice the subtly different version numbers... === JayTeKay is now known as JayTeKay`off === paradon_ is now known as paradon [05:14] legend2440, gdmsetup?

Ah, I see Flannel is still here! :) [05:15] ragsagar: yes its gksudo gdmsetup [05:15] where can I get Tracker-enabled Nautilus for Hardy? [05:15] legend2440, ok thanx i will try :) [05:15] SeaPhor: Some folks are accustomed to the XP interface, and are quite fond of it. Can't fault 'em for preference - at least they've made the switch, window-dressings aside. [05:17] StephenZ, but have to have compiz, and vm, and... and where does it really end,,, JUST kill M$ and be done,,, lol [05:18] I downloaded over 200 updates when I installed Hardy [05:18] about 230MB [05:18] so? [05:19] ragsagar: if i remember right color also has to be changed in system>pref>appearance>background >colors [05:19] SeaPhor: Well... It's a matter of UI. Some people want different things from others, as their needs and wants are different. Windows is (though perhaps on the road to "was") a very high-volume product. [05:19] They must be doing SOMETHING right.

I downloaded the sun-java6-plugin_6-06-0ubuntu1_i386.deb and the package installer says "Status: Error: Wrong architecture 'i386' [05:23] this is probably best carried on outside IRC, IM me at aim:cmpmatt [05:24] grtessman: are you using 32bit or 64bit? [05:24] <__ryan__> grtessman, you running 64bit? [05:24] for example, i keep seeing ubuntu ..............15, memtest......15, and ubuntu ..................19, memtest.............19,what does this mean/ [05:24] sounds like 64 bit [05:24] danbhfive 32 bit [05:24] grtessman: on amd64 you need to use nspluginwrappre with this package [05:24] matt: sudo apt-get remove --purge [05:24] wols: I am surprised that you don't know how this is Ubuntu related. The answwer is so simple that you could know it: If I would not use Ubuntu, I would not have reason to bother about 'PAGE_SHIFT'. [05:24] ross_: What? [05:24] grtessman: dpkg --print-architecture [05:24] whut? [05:24] okay on second thought im not installing 7.1 that would be silly :P [05:24] wols, I am not using amd, I am using intel [05:24] nvm... [05:24] I have been trying to get my mouse to work in hardy, I have a M$ intelimouse explorer, and it moves way too slow. Adjusting it in the preferences > mouse only helps slightly, is there somewhere else I can tweak my mouse speed? Thank you :) [05:24] Flannel: when I reboot, the partition page shows several different boot options, [05:25] bullgard4: stop it. and stay on topic: ubuntu, NOT assembly language [05:25] hmm Angela_Smith [05:25] grtessman: use the command I just wrote [05:25] wols, interesting dpkg --print-architecture = amd64 [05:25] Flannel: for ubuntu, there are different boot partitions, but they all are the same [05:25] wols, but I dont have an amd64 [05:25] is 1400 MHZ with 255 system mem good cause im always getting errors about not having enough memory *for instance i had to use the altrenate CD* [05:25] <__ryan__> you sure? lol [05:25] so have you played with sensitivity and acceleration? [05:25] victamower: i tried that already [05:25] Flannel: but why at the end, they have a different number [05:25] matt: what's the problem? [05:25] ross_: They are different kernel versions. But there should only be one memtest [05:25] yes fabz0r [05:25] because that should absolutely fly [05:25] grtessman: intels support amd64 [05:25] whik: yes it is. but 512MB would be better [05:26] whacky mines fine hey [05:26] ross_: And thats not a partition page, thats the GRUB menu [05:26] matt: did you install the package using apt-get/synaptic? [05:26] Flannel: what is GRUB? [05:26] whik: and you WILL need swap with 256MB [05:26] wols: Are you trying to police me? Stop it. Ubuntu does use assembly language. Assembly language is a subset of Ubuntu. [05:26] ross_: your bootloader [05:26] ross_: GRUB is your bootloader [05:26] danbhfive, and wols - okay so what is the problem? I thought I was using i386 ..

[05:26] victamower: it just comes back when i run apt-get again [05:26] * wols puts bullgard4 on ignore [05:26] ross_: It does [05:26] [05:26] [05:26] [05:26] [05:26] weird though one stick says 256 mb [05:26] [05:26] brut_win: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:26] [05:27] [05:27] Kkkkick. [05:27] Hi! I've installed Gutsy 7.10. After installed the updates I can login on any thin client. Can anyone help, please?

[05:27] wols: Ubuntu uses the English language too, but we don't talk about grammatical rules here [05:27] Flannel: so i don't need the previous versions then [05:27] \the other doesnt but when i remove it the sysem notices [05:27] victamower: tell this to bullgard4, not me [05:27] Flannel: how do i get rid of them? the previous kernel versions [05:27] ross_: You can remove them, yes. Use your favorite package manager to remove the older packages. [05:27] victamower: he won't get an answer here anyways [05:27] Flannel: Error: "ops" is not a valid command. [05:27] danbhfive, ok but this is all automatic with the wubi isnt it? [05:27] ross_: Its usually a good idea to keep one old, known good version. [05:27] wols: oops, sorry :) [05:27] Flannel: why's that [05:27] someone suggested that I tweak Xorg file... I have no idea where that is, dose it have the mouse speed that I can tweak? Thanks :) [05:27] SUSE-POWER: are you a bot? [05:27] wols: Error: "are" is not a valid command. [05:27] grtessman: i dont know [05:27] !ops | SUSE-POWER [05:27] SUSE-POWER: Help! Channel emergency!

[05:27] Flannel: Error: "ops" is not a valid command. [05:27] ubottu: Error: "Help!" is not a valid command. [05:28] Apparently. [05:28] Flannel: where is the favorite package manager located? [05:28] danbhfive, I am pretty sure I never selected amd options during install [05:28] matt: how do you mean it just comes back? when you try to re-install it it gets re-installed? [05:28] no, it shows up as having unmet dependencies [05:28] as though it's never removed [05:28] ross_: Because sometimes new versions of the kernel have bugs that don't show up for a bit (and then you need an old, working version, until it gets fixed) [05:28] !emt64 | grtessman [05:28] Factoid emt64 not found [05:28] danbhfive, so is it safe for me to try the amd options? [05:28] (to victamower) sorrf [05:28] wols, what does that mean? [05:28] Flannel: ok [05:28] matt: what package? [05:28] !mouse speed [05:28] Factoid mouse speed not found [05:28] grtessman: emt64 is the same as amd64. and the architecture is called amd64 since AMD was first [05:28] grtessman: I really dont know anything at all about wubi, except what it does generally [05:28] fdsgs [05:29] ross_: "Your favorite package manager" is whichever package manager you prefer. Synaptic package manager is one thats fairly easy, System > Admin > Synaptic package manager [05:29] ross_: and for a little tutorial on using it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [05:29] !tracker-nautilus [05:29] kiris: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:29] victamower: it's campcaster-station, i attempted to install it from a .deb and it had some unmet deps, so it left apt in a broken state [05:29] grtessman: 32bit is called i386 and it works not only for intel cpus but amd athlons too [05:29] Flannel: that's the only one that i know - there are other package handlers? [05:29] sigh [05:29] wols, but my processors are intel - I used wubi to install ubuntu - does that mean I need to re-install it? [05:29] grtessman: since you used wubi, I would [05:29] ross_: There are, yes. Some command line ones, Adept is for KDE, etc. [05:29] matt: if it has unmet dependencies it won't install [05:29] victamower: i've since added their repository, but no luck using their package either [05:30] victamower: i know, i'm trying to remove it, it's gunked up the works, i can't do anything with apt or dpkg [05:30] grtessman: amd64 is fine tho. but you shouldn't use a 64bit distro unless you really know what you are doing AND have more than 4GB RAM that you really need [05:30] damnit, everyone in the #nvidia chan is dead [05:30] Flannel: i am in the synaptic package manager, now how can i go about removing the previous kernel versions [05:30] wols, danbhfive - so the question remains, what should I be using for my dual core intel processors? I'd assume not amd [05:30] matt: so is the problem you want to install this unsupported package, or you want to remove it and go back to the way things were? [05:30] !mouse sensitivity [05:30] Angela_Smith: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:30] what's the easiest way to make a custom keyboard layout in ubuntu (8.04) I just want to swap the various types of brackets ("()" -> "[]" ->"{}" ->"()") [05:30] grtessman: 32bit ubuntu [05:30] Flannel: You going to be around for a little while, and would you mind if I preferred to ask a few questions in PM, to make it easier to read? [05:30] grtessman: 32bit, long story short, 32bit [05:30] victamower: for now i want to completely remove it [05:30] matt: remove their repos from /etc/apt/sources.lists and run apt-get update [05:30] wols, I have 4GB ram and dual core 2.2ghz processors [05:30] !wubi [05:30] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [05:30] grtessman: 32bit then [05:31] *sources.list [05:31] StephenZ: sure, I'll be around for most of the next few hours at least [05:31] victamower: done [05:31] i believe wubi installs on an NTFS partition -- it's not a standard deployment [05:31] wols and danbhfive,... wow, ok - maybe that's not an option in wubi. I'll have to delete and re-install and check it out again. But certainly I learned a lot, and this is probably the core of my problems. [05:31] Flannel: Thanks; I'll be scuttling back along to ask those questions in just a few moments. :) [05:32] matt: apt should be happy now, right? [05:32] grtessman: it has nothing to do with wubi. but do not use wubi [05:33] wols, ok why? [05:33] victamower: no, now it complains that it can't find an archive for the broken package when i run "apt-get -f install" [05:33] Flannel: i am in the synaptic package manager, now how can i go about removing the previous kernel versions [05:33] ah, from wikipedia: "Since Wubi installs Ubuntu on the same file partition as Windows, Ubuntu may see a slight degradation in performance over time due to FAT32/NTFS file fragmentation, which could be alleviated via defragging the disk." [05:33] !fool [05:33] Factoid fool not found [05:33] because wubi installs on a big file on a ntfs partition [05:33] ross_: Just mark the packages for complete removal. The packages will be "linux-image-[version]" so, search for "linux-image" and you'll get a listing [05:34] ok, but it's on it's own disk/controller [05:34] it's generally recommend to install ubuntu from an ISO burned to a CD-R/W [05:34] the wubi installation is more of a test platform than a long-term solution [05:34] grtessman: If you're putting it on its own disk, why use wubi? [05:34] Flannel: what exactly is a kernel anyways? [05:34] i am having problem with display after upgrade to hardy heron? [05:35] ross_: linux is your kernel. the OS itself, the core part of it [05:35] Flannel, because I was checking out ubuntu for starters and because I didnt want to screw up my windows install. [05:35] ross_: A kernel is... what does all the hard work of the OS. [05:35] Hi team - any ideas if/when Subversion 1.5 will be available as an update through the repos? [05:35] numan: what videocard, what drivers? [05:35] moosepants: when it'S ready and, sooner if you help [05:35] Is it easy to install ubuntu with ISO for dual boot options? [05:35] my video card is nvidia and i tried new drivers [05:35] moosepants: Intrepid [05:35] numan: which "new drivers" [05:36] grtessman, yes [05:36] Flannel: what is the "hard work" of the OS [05:36] ok, then I will try it [05:36] lol [05:36] Flannel: clarify please [05:36] After installed the updates I can login on any thin client. Can anyone help, please? Any howto or links? [05:36] Flannel: Serious? It won't be released on Hardy? === Charitwo is now known as kirby [05:36] victamower: any other thoughts? [05:36] and so you guys are saying definately stick with intel 32 bit ? [05:36] actually i upgraded from gutsy gibbon to hardy heron [05:36] grtessman, extremely easy,,, [05:36] moosepants: hardy is released and done. [05:36] after that my display is not working? [05:36] numan: that doesn't answer the question [05:36] numan: answer me === kirby is now known as Charitwo [05:36] Awesome, I'll give it a shot then. Thank you guys for your help and patience. [05:36] moosepants: I'm 96% sure that it won't be. The 4% is due to some other oddities that have deviated for Hardy. [05:37] numan: dpkg -l |grep nvidia [05:37] the default install has a boot loader that automatically loads Ubuntu after about 10 seconds, unless you press a key [05:37] actually i am not sure which driver is it using? [05:37] from that boot loader menu, you can select ubuntu or windows [05:37] !nvidia | numan [05:37] numan: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [05:37] moosepants: But yes, Ubuntu freezes versions of things, so Hardy will always have version X of something. [05:37] now everytime i get out of range error for monitor [05:37] spoonman, sweet - then no reason to use wubi [05:37] ross_: All the stuff you'd expect an OS to do. Disk stuff, peripheral stuff, drivers, etc. [05:37] grtessman, extremely easy,,, from live cd [05:38] wubi just makes it easy to test the system for hardware compatibility and things like that [05:38] matt: I think there's an option like --fix-packages or something [05:38] Flannel: i see [05:38] Flannel: thanks for making me understand [05:38] victamower: for what app? [05:39] ok, one more thing.. my laptop came originally with WIndows Vista Ultimate.. and I had to do slipstreaming to get my hard drive drivers in windows XP install to install XP. Ultimate is 64 bit, and I have dual core 2.2 ghz intel processors with 4gb ram. So you guys think I still should go 32 bit ubuntu? [05:39] matt: one of the apt- commands [05:39] matt___: what output does dpkg give you when you try to remove === kumarphilly is now known as I === I is now known as kumarphilly [05:39] Flannel: Are there any docs around which might detail which prefixes, defaults etc that were used for the SVN build that is available on the repo? I would like to make a package that updates the version used across our office... [05:39] grtessman: YES [05:39] grtessman, all you need to do is go into your BIOS and put your CD-ROM drive at the top of the boot priority list [05:39] you need to basically boot from the Ubuntu install CD [05:39] moosepants: svn source in the /debian directory [05:39] install to macbook pro went w/o a hitch, until I tried to connect to net [05:39] wols: thanks!!

But you can add Computer, Home, Network and Trash. As for text files and such, they would have been in the Home folder for your previous user [09:32] I had to change my BIOS from IDE to RAID so that ubuntu would run without me typing irqpoll noprobe=ata4, I was wondering if this will effect me when I run Windows. [09:32] I would seal my soul for Yahoo messanger on Linux . I mean though about vmware to get yahoo. [09:32] pidgin?

Wine , altertive yahoo client for windows in wine, gyach and I have yet to try some thing like vmware. If I have to run windows in vmware to get yahoo then I will do that.

I got a cell phone with voice, and I don't care about sharing my messy house with other people on cam lol [09:37] I like to put my information in the cloud, dacubuntu. it's very useful. :) [09:37] Hali_303, apart from that, I really have no idea [09:38] DistroJockey: the wallpaper is the default hardy one with the bird on it [09:38] Guys,, why is it when I changed my Appearance Preferences Visual Effects to Normal, my minimize,maximize and close button in window dissapear? [09:38] Hali_303, yeah, but it's worth changing just to see if it does change [09:38] fixthemedia, that could quite possibly be the issue... Do you have wacom-tools installed? [09:38] course really, I don't do alot of messaging anymore, I used to, but now since I'm married, it might get me in alot of trouble lol [09:38] DistroJockey: ahhhh got it! [09:39] harris: did you lose the top bar too or just the buttons? [09:39] d4rkmonkey: how can i check or try and re-install? [09:39] ActionParsnip: Yes! the top bar, i lose it...... [09:39] dacubuntu: so, no way to make it work? [09:39] DistroJockey: I once again tried the gconf key editor, I've un-ticked the "Show desktop" key, then exited. Then started the app again, ticked the "Swow desktop" key again, and now everything appeared! [09:39] harris: system > preferences > advanced desktop effects > then enable window decoration [09:39] ActionParsnip: the TOP BAR, it disappear [09:40] dacubuntu: did my trick work for you? [09:40] pockey: still trying, asked the same question.. im running on toshiba tho [09:40] harris: you runing compiz or emerald? [09:40] does anyone find that skype uses 100% CPU time, and also refuses to quit unless killed by killall -9 skype? [09:40] i can find the mic boost thing [09:40] DistroJockey: thank you for your help! [09:40] fixthemedia, sudo apt-get install wacom-tools and it'll either install it, or tell you that you have the newest version. After that if it doesn't work, restart your computer. If it still doesn't work, then I have no idea how to get it to work [09:40] The part I don't like is the lack of support for im networks on addvance feature like web cams , voice , file sharing etc. The windows client work great ,but the linux one it i seem not to be any that can do the same as the windows clients. [09:40] ActionParsnip: no, just plain... ubuntu Gutsy... :) [09:40] Hali_303, excellent, glad to help [09:40] dacubuntu: it's annoying... i tried a lot of clients, wengo, ekiga, gizmo5 [09:40] Hali_303, and you're welcome :) [09:41] its not the client [09:41] harris: then you need --replace [09:41] try messing around with system > pref > sound [09:41] harris: like kde is kwin --replace [09:41] does anyone know the gnome equivelant please? [09:41] dacubuntu: ic... i did , system>pref>found... [09:42] d4rkmonkey, i got this error E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [09:42] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [09:42] Pockey , what did you think of wengo, ekiga ? [09:42] ActionParsnip, I believe it's metacity --replace [09:42] dacubuntu: i spent two days on it already, i also changed the open volumn control [09:42] ActionParsnip: What? will i do? [09:42] harris: try metacity --replacelike DistroJockey said [09:42] dacubuntu: you can find, or can't find it? :( [09:42] metacity --replace [09:42] cheers DistroJockey [09:42] how do you install wxwidgets on ubuntu? [09:42] tarelerulz: frankly speaking, if i m not using PPC, i prefer skype, the voice is the best so far i can get [09:43] ActionParsnip, no problem [09:43] idn: cant [09:43] the mic boost option [09:43] skype is great! [09:43] harris: any good? [09:43] tarelerulz: 2nd, wengo, then akiga [09:43] fixthemedia, is anything installing/updating? If so, you'll have to wait before running apt-get [09:43] ActionParsnip: metacity? DistroJockey? what is it a Theme? or should i download it? [09:43] skype is on soo many things now, it's insane, skype wifi cell phones, psp, pc, linux... [09:43] !metacity [09:43] Factoid metacity not found [09:43] RabidWeezle: but not PPC :( [09:43] harris: open a terminal and type the command [09:43] :( [09:43] no? [09:43] harris: metacity --replace & [09:43] crazy [09:44] RabidWeezle: no, no no [09:44] RabidWeezle: but it doesn't like my laptop. uses the entire of one core all the time, and won't die unless I kill -9 [09:44] :( [09:44] that sucks [09:44] RabidWeezle: anyway, I can't make my PPC mic work... so no matter what client, it wont work [09:44] d4rkmonkey, actually no. I dont have anything else running besides pigeon, firefox, and terminal [09:44] that's no good :( [09:44] I am trying to get a desktop shortcut working for running WoW using wine for the command I have wine /home/cosmo/World of Warcraft/WoW.exe is this correct? [09:44] dacubuntu: do you see the mic icon on your system tray (next to the watch and the shut down button)? click it, then go to switches> edit> preferences> check the Mic Boost box. then go back to switches. and check the boost box there. :) [09:44] dacubuntu: if u found a way, please let me know... [09:44] Pockey , I never got Ekiga to work right and when I did never found anyone to talk to . I was looking for replacement for yahoo messanger . I love open voice chat rooms and meting random people like I did on yahoo. Voice is great . I don't spell that great. [09:45] ActionParsnip: whhhaaa I changed again to normal visual effects I can't see a thing under terminal.... what will I type? metacity --replace & [09:45] harris, ActionParsnip : If that doesn't work, you can try the following in a terminal: sudo killall gnome-panel && gnome-panel [09:45] cosmo: no its wine ~/.wine/c_drive/etc/etc [09:45] harris: yes, you need to type that command [09:45] I don't miss yahoo chat too much, last time I went there it was nothing but bots and trolls :/ [09:45] cosmo, or even wine "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Wow.exe" [09:45] harris: in the terminal [09:46] cosmo: depends where you installed it on your fake C partition [09:46] harris, or via Alt+F2 [09:46] Oiy... hi guys [09:46] fixthemedia, not sure why it would say that then... [09:46] I didnt I copied it over to ubuntu [09:46] usally it's ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/whatever [09:46] DrLam1: hi [09:47] cosmo: copied it? [09:47] tarelerulz: i only talk to people i know, so skype is rather good, ekiga.... i found it's not so userfriendly [09:47] copied the whole folder to my /home/user folder [09:47] Pockey, I need a microphone lol, I remember when every computer and soundcard came with those cheap ones... [09:48] cosmo: i dont think that works any due to the relationship with the windows directory [09:48] my laptop has a mic built in though that works good [09:48] for skype anyway [09:48] cosmo, the path would be: /home/cosmo/World\ of\ Warcraft/WoW.exe [09:48] d4rkmonkey, darnit! well thanks for your time. Nice support for sure. [09:48] no bulit in on mine [09:48] I wouldn't record a hit single on it [09:48] hehe [09:48] no built in on mine neither [09:48] i just need it for skype.. thats all i cudnt care abt anything else [09:49] Pockey I do talk to my freinds I know too. Plus I wanted to fine some thing that both windows and Linux had client that did voice so they would not have to change anything. Empathy does voice with gtalk windows clients. If it had file sharing I would be set [09:49] *nt [09:49] I got a dell c610 that does :/ [09:49] harris: you got it? [09:49] u c its not the client [09:49] I stuck a gig of ram in it, now it's somewhat usefull [09:49] ActionParsnip: Still doesn't work..... :( no TOP BAR..... in normal visual effects [09:49] Hi. Can you help me resetting GRUB? I have a big problem. [09:49] fixthemedia, no problem, I just try to help out whoever I can. I figure if everyone does this, everyone will be helped out [09:49] the mic port doestn work on ubuntu [09:49] harris: what graphics card you got? [09:49] ioioio, what do you mean reset grub?

[09:50] geforce 4 aopen.... hmmmmm i just installed the restricted drivers [09:50] RabidWeezle: I've deleted the partition on which Ubuntu was installed. Now there's a GRUB error (Error 22), and I can't load Windows [09:50] moin [09:50] harris: did you add the lines you need to your xorg.conf [09:50] harris : probably the drivers? [09:50] ioioio, yeah, you can't delete the ubuntu partition if you are using grub... [09:50] hmmmmm maybe the drivers [09:50] since its the only update that would effect it [09:50] tarelerulz: does it work on PPC? [09:50] try removing it [09:50] RabidWeezle: Yeah, now I've learnt that [09:50] But how can I load windows?^ [09:50] wait I'll be back with you guys........ I'll be installing again the driver [09:50] ioioio, it looks to /boot/grub for the list of what to boot === DrLam1 is now known as DrLame [09:51] pockey what is ppc ? [09:51] RabidWeezle: Where? On the NTFS partition there's nothing [09:51] on the linux partition you deleted :( [09:51] harris: add Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" to Section "Screen" [09:51] RabidWeezle: I've deleted it, so there's no partition! [09:51] d4rkmonkey, i have help a little here and there on the fourms. I used synaptic to re-install wacom-tools [09:51] Isn't there a way to reinstall grub and make windows load? [09:51] im outta here... gnna search online for this [09:52] thnx anyway guys [09:52] bye [09:52] ioioio, you might wanna goto #grub for this one, on removing grub to boot windows [09:52] tarelerulz: Apple Powerbook [09:52] ActionParsnip: Where will I add it....? do i need to open a file to edit or something? [09:52] What is a good amount of space to give Ubuntu's partition? [09:52] RabidWeezle: Thanks, I'll try [09:52] np [09:52] Xehanort: minimum 5G [09:52] apa kabar?? [09:52] Hi, all [09:53] harris: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:53] Is the tiff2pdf package available in ubuntu? If so in which package I can find it? [09:53] and add that line in the Section "Screen" [09:53] Pockey , I don't know . I don't use mac. I wish I knew. What you think of mac? Can you run any cool open source programs on it.

[09:53] tarelerulz: not really, otherwise, why would I switch to linux ;) [09:54] ActionParsnip: okay im here already in xorg.conf [09:54] harris: ok then add the line [09:54] ActionParsnip: What's next?

[09:55] BezNalogov, sudo apt-get install libtiff-tools [09:55] ActionParsnip: I'll add this? "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" to Section "Screen"? where? [09:55] i asked this in #windows also, but does anyone know what boot images i'd need to add to my win xp pro sp2 install cd (when burning in k3b)? [09:55] harris: read your xorg.conf [09:56] d4rkmonkey, I made those last edits to the xorg file, and re-installed the wacom-tools and it seems to be working (havent used gimp yet) Thank you so much!!!!! [09:56] pockey: still there? [09:56] got it working! [09:56] where it says Section "Screen" you will see details about your graphics card, at the bottom of that, just above EndSection, Paste that line in [09:56] pockey: ?! got my mic working [09:56] dacubuntu: how? [09:56] dont u have sound in preferences? [09:56] dacubuntu: \(^0^)/ [09:56] yes [09:57] dacubuntu: wait... [09:57] Pockey what is fun is coming windows you have all these chose go down and buy a program ,but you do have an idea how anything real works. then you go to Linux and you learn the hard way how it all works and just as much chose . Stuff my not like like it should ,but once it does you feel like you climbed Mnt everest haha [09:57] d4arkmonkey, it was a must have for me and now I dont need to switch over to windows at all. (gimp and inkscape are good enough for what i use the wacom for) [09:57] just use the pulse sound server as the capture device [09:57] d4rkmonkey, so thanks again. [09:58] fixthemedia, no problem, if you have any other problems with it I'll be on here for a while, and would be happy to try and help [09:58] ActionParsnip: ok, then i'll save it ryt...... then test [09:58] dacubuntu: wait, i m switching on my powerbook now, don't leave [09:58] im not [09:59] harris: cool, id restart just to test. You need that line for nvidia cards. If you'd googled youd have seen that [10:00] i asked this in #windows also, but does anyone know what boot images i'd need to add to my win xp pro sp2 install cd (when burning in k3b)? [10:01] how do I force to generate video thumbnails in nautilus? [10:01] wittyphotons, I'd just ask in #windows [10:01] how do I force nautilus to generate video thumbnails? [10:02] pockey: any luck? [10:02] dacubuntu: i have to switch it from chinese to english.... first, otherwise, i dont understand what u re talking about [10:02] how do I force nautilus to generate video thumbnails? [10:02] ok === eclipse_mint|awa is now known as eclipse_mint === pen_ is now known as pen [10:03] dacubuntu: my machine is 5 yrs old, a bit slow :( [10:03] DistroJockey, okay, i asked the #windows people; they instructed me to come over here and ask if anyone knew how to go about 'growing' an iso in ubuntu [10:03] how do I force nautilus to generate video thumbnails? [10:03] wittyphotons, I know of growisofs (not how to use it though) [10:04] anyone around [10:04] have a lil problem dont know how to fix [10:04] DistroJockey, i'll check it out [10:05] wittyphotons, I still don't think it will help you with what you need to put on the boot part of the CD though [10:05] gilbo: 1244 people around [10:05] gilbo: 1248 [10:05] !ask | gilbo [10:05] gilbo: 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. :-) [10:05] DistroJockey, well, i have a .iso of a bootable winxpprosp2 that i got from campus it [10:05] wittyphotons, ahhhh! [10:05] lol my second hard drive is showing up as scsi and its blocked dont know how to fix it [10:06] DistroJockey, but i needed to add a driver because my sata hd isn't natively compatibly with win xp [10:06] wittyphotons, just burn iso image [10:06] wittyphotons, ohh [10:06] dont add the driver before u install [10:06] dacubuntu: it's on now, so , sounds in preferences [10:06] ok [10:06] pockey: choose capture device as pulse [10:06] I am running Ubuntu 8, how can i check to see what drivers are being used for my graphics card? [10:07] DistroJockey, yeah, and the only feasible way to get the driver installed is to slipstream it into the install cd. i can do it from a usb floppy as well, but i haven't had success today (err, yesterday) doing that, and i don't have the usb floppy drive available anymore. [10:07] sorry imean pulse as capture device :P [10:07] dacubuntu: under music and movies sounds playback? [10:07] no [10:08] audio conferencing [10:08] wittyphotons, *nods* I can only suggest a bit of a look at www.bootdisk.com maybe there is something there [10:08] dacubuntu: ok [10:08] then Sound Capture [10:08] DistroJockey, is that a legit site, do you know for a fact? [10:08] dacubuntu: ok [10:08] choose pulse... done? [10:09] wittyphotons: I can 2nd its legitimacy. Its awesome [10:09] dacubuntu: yes, under audio conferencing: sound capture: pulse [10:09] dacubuntu: done [10:09] now it should work [10:09] try it [10:09] wittyphotons, no sure of the legalities, but it's been around for ages and MS hasn't shut it down, so I think it's ok [10:09] dacubuntu: ok, let me try [10:09] Blade_wizard_Fal - check your xorg.conf file. In a terminal type cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf or try lsmod | more [10:09] try using applications >> sounds n vids >> sound recorder [10:10] my second hard drive shows up but cannot mount [10:10] DistroJockey, ActionParsnip, i'll look into this site; thanks! [10:10] dacubuntu: still doesnt work... [10:10] wittyphotons, no proble, you're welcome [10:10] try the other devices will u? u sure ur mics working?@ [10:10] other devices meaning [10:11] other sound capture drivers... i got to this by messin arnd a lil bit [10:11] dacubuntu: let me try...

Plus most of those network really don't help pidgin so it would be all reverse enginering [10:15] y replace mac with ubuntu? [10:15] dacubuntu: yes [10:15] theyr very similar, n macs great, n stable [10:15] dacubuntu: ubuntu is great, too [10:15] i know ubuntu is awesome. [10:15] but if i had a mac i wudnt bother replacing it [10:15] automount is false [10:15] cuz theres no need really [10:15] dacubuntu: haha, i can see that (from your name) [10:16] dacubuntu: me too but mac hardware is pricey [10:16] exactly [10:16] thats y id use ubuntu [10:16] on a non-apple pc [10:16] ActionParsnip: not if you buy it cheap :D [10:16] get the benefits of a stable, funky os :P [10:16] magnetron: true, or its a gift [10:16] and yet not fry ur pocket at the same time [10:16] well my brother has a macbook pro [10:17] so ... im guessing in a few months.. or maybe a year... hell discard it to me :P [10:17] heheh [10:17] running ubuntu on his old toshiba [10:17] not bad really [10:17] the new eee 900 are more my bag [10:17] better than the carpet he treated it :P [10:17] like [10:17] is there a flash creator for ubuntu??

[12:36] hello [12:36] Danish989: dpkg -L eterm [12:37] I can open "all" of my media except wmv, with wmv I can see the things but I can't hear any voice [12:37] cosmo: have you looked into the system log wether the usb controller for example reports errors? [12:37] nyuu, The wmv may be using some uncommon codec. try playing it in terminal with a playerm and lookl at the output. It may mention the codec [12:37] ok [12:37] cosmo - have you tried plugging the trouble devices into other USb ports? to see if your having trouble with the devices or the usb ports [12:37] berzerka, where do I look for that? [12:38] cosmo: /var/log/messages [12:38] DeadKennedy2880, yes I have tried that and it does not work, the only thing that seems to fix it is rebooting [12:38] Frogzoo: Thanks mate :) [12:38] Totem doesnt play audio and video files anymore, even ogg audio. I dont know what caused it, but since a few weeks the totem window opens and the visualisation goes very slow. I can scroll through the media file, but no sound/video. Anyone have an idea what might be wrong? [12:39] berzerka, ok have that file open, what am I looking for? [12:39] cosmo, does the mouse and keyboard work fine if you don't have the drive plugged in?

[12:40] cosmo, my thinking is a USB power supply issue (i.e. not enough power) [12:40] nyuu, there ya go. Not sure what codec does fourcc. I recall having issues with that befor also. I think i had to install the libfaad library? or perhaops i had to use the mplayer from the medibuntu repos [12:40] ubuntu eee: hardy. When I wnat to get rid of skype, the package ubuntu-eee will be removed too... seems like I do not want that. corect ? [12:40] What is the shortcut for quickly going to desktop in ubuntu? [12:40] DistroJockey: syslog should tell him... [12:41] hyppias, its proerly just a meta-package. and wont hurt anything [12:41] any idea how to serch the bandwidth used by specific user [12:41] cosmo: something like "insufficient bus power", if DistroJockey's guess is correct.

[13:27] sipior: tar zxvf XFiDrv_linux_US-1.18.tar.gz [13:27] DistroJockey: If the Add/Remove worked, it will automatically install the latest? the 1.0 [13:28] conor: and what directory are you typing that in? [13:28] MOzartstaedter: sudo invoke-rc.d mysql restart [13:28] conor: your home directory? [13:28] sipior: Desktop [13:28] Reaper, not sure if the latest wine 1.0 is in the standard repos yet (don't think it is) [13:28] thx pici [13:28] Home? you mean the name of the PC? [13:28] conor: and the .tar.gz file is in that directory? try "ls" and see if it shows up [13:28] DistroJockey: I just updated the list, as they requested " that the list is out-of-date, so i updated " [13:29] sipior: I dont think I understand [13:29] I need help getting my wireless working. I have a Intel Corporation Pro/Wireless 3945ABG. [13:29] Reaper, yeah, it will get to 1.0 if they deem it worthy [13:29] DistroJockey: Well I tried to read the readme, it's a lil of complicated for me - Then I went to other website, they asked to enter several commands, I did, by order, nothing happened. [13:29] conor: you're trying to perform an operation on a file. where is that file right now? [13:29] DistroJockey: http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb [13:30] Maybe I missed something. [13:30] How can I lock the "edit menu" option in gnome to an user?? [13:30] Reaper, ok, I'll do it, sec [13:30] i mean d one by right click the application menu [13:30] Thanks DistroJockey [13:30] sipior: The desktop, its already extracted, I just need to install the file called ./installer [13:30] Wireless Help please. I have a Intel Corporation Pro/Wireless 3945ABG. [13:30] hi guys [13:31] Story: it should just work iirc [13:31] is there somebody who can help me with lyx [13:31] sipior: The installer file is inside the XFi...file [13:31] Story: yeah check under hardware drivers or something under system->administrator [13:31] conor: right, that's why you used tar, to extract the files from that archive [13:31] I'll try that thanks [13:31] conor: but you say it's already extracted, so you have a new directory in Desktop, right? [13:32] conor: probably a similar name to the tar file, but without the .tar.gz? [13:32] sipior: XFiDrv_Linux_US-1.18 [13:32] cosmo: sorry i was busy here at work, that looks like a serious failure to me, but have never encountered an error like this [13:32] conor: right, so try "cd XFiDrv_Linux_US-1.18" [13:33] conor: and then type "ls", and the ./install file should be listed [13:33] DistroJockey: I did miss something...I think it's working now. [13:33] hmmm [13:33] It is updating, in the first place, inside the terminal. [13:33] sipior: Woot, cd XFiDrv_Linux_US-1.18 it worked [13:34] DistroJockey: The actions I just did is to update Wine inside my Add/Remove - Now I Can go there and downlaod the latest, as they said. [13:34] Reaper, I did the adds but I didn't click the link. Instead I did a sudo apt-get update and then a sudo apt-get install wine [13:34] hail ppl! [13:34] sipior: dont I need a sudo command? [13:34] so.. Can resizing a partition affect other partitions on the hard drive? [13:34] sudo ./installer [13:35] any1 can help me??? [13:35] anyone know how to install the PL2303 USB to serial adaptor driver for Ubuntu Hardy ? [13:35] cosmo, please provide a complete syslog, maybe there is something in the context of these lines which gives a clue. [13:35] conor: probably. there should be install instructions somewhere in the files in that directory [13:35] Its working! [13:35] How can I lock the "edit menu" option in gnome to an user?? [13:35] Reaper, Setting up wine (1.0.0~winehq0~ubuntu~8.04-1) Completed fine [13:36] DistroJockey: okay followed your command, it's now downlading [13:36] How can I lock the "edit menu" option in gnome?? (right-click applications) [13:36] Lovely, thank you DistroJockey ;) [13:36] sipior: Now I've got the license agreement up! [13:36] conor: that's a good sign, congratulations. [13:36] Reaper, you're welcome :) [13:36] dr_Willis, FYI it's in ~/.gconf/system/storage/volumes [13:36] sipior: Thank you very much! [13:37] DistroJockey: But yet, I must sometime get to know how to intsall Tar.bz2 files :P - or it's more likely needed? [13:37] not needed* [13:37] Reaper, safer not to :) [13:37] Sipior: The installation failed checking for gcc... gcc [13:37] checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables [13:37] berzerka, the full log is http://paste.ubuntu.com/22593/ [13:37] DistroJockey: Okay :) [13:37] conor: you'll need to install gcc. and probably a load of other stuff... [13:37] Reaper, not need to so far on this install and it does all I need [13:37] conor, you need to have the build-essential package installed [13:38] Oh thank you, where can I find it? [13:38] conor, synaptic [13:38] conor, sudo apt-get install build-essential [13:38] any 1 on SATA issue in 7.10? (can't mount my drive) [13:38] DistroJockey: Okay :) [13:38] Reaper, all decent installers come with a readme :) [13:38] Aha...that's gotta be helpful. [13:39] anybody tried linux PHC here? [13:39] !phc [13:39] Factoid phc not found [13:39] !linux-phc [13:39] Factoid linux-phc not found [13:39] DistroJockey: Anyway, still learning....6 days of Ubuntu using so far, that's fair. [13:39] Reaper, nice :) Doing well :) [13:40] Hello! [13:40] If I have a hardy CD and I want to upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy (not install it) is it possible to do it . [13:40] I think so - so far I could set the basic tool I used to use on Windows, now more likely when I open windows, I feel like I'm on a certain PROGRAM using ubuntu. lol [13:40] !hi | m_newton [13:40] m_newton: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [13:40] sipior: Is there a way to repeat that without tryping it all again? [13:40] typing* [13:40] conor, up key [13:40] berent, try. If it'S possible, it will porpose it. If not, just stop the process before installing [13:40] berent what are you asking [13:40] conor: try ctrl-R, and then typing the first few letters of the command you want... [13:41] Thanks [13:41] berent, did you put the disk in while running Gutsy? [13:41] How to check whether port 587 is open or not? [13:41] DistroJockey: yes [13:41] sipior: Sorry, Im really new to this [13:41] rubydiamond, nmap localhost [13:41] berent, no upgrade message then I guess? [13:41] conor, or, you can put a ! just before writing the first letters of the commnand. It will use the last command starting with these letters [13:41] conor: nothing to be sorry for, you've got to start somewhere, yes? [13:42] thanks m4cdaddy [13:42] DistroJockey: nope. [13:42] not letter, character is better I think... :0 [13:42] sipior: Hehe I suppose, but thanks for all the help [13:42] Rubin, no problem [13:42] berent, which CD you got? [13:42] wapz [13:42] DistroJockey: but when i run update manager it showed. [13:42] rubydiamond, no problem [13:42] hey guys, I have an idea for ubuntu, which chat room can I talk to people about it, offtopic, +1, or motu? [13:42] DistroJockey: Hardy [13:42] sipior: I had a gut full of windows yesterday. so ubuntu was installed [13:42] berent, as in Desktop or Alternate [13:42] danbhfive: I'd start in -offtopic [13:42] WalloO: Thanks [13:43] jrib: ok, thanks [13:43] DistroJockey: Desktop CD. [13:43] hello [13:43] conor: you can use the up and down arrow to browse your command history too. [13:43] hello halvor [13:43] mimie_seventeen [13:44] can i ask for some help about apt-get? [13:44] halvor, sure ill help you [13:44] m4cdaddy, how do I open port 587? [13:44] rubydiamond, uhm i think you can socket it? [13:44] berent, not to sure on the upgrade. I prefer/recommend not to upgrade usually :) [13:44] hmm [13:44] rubydiamond, i think its supposed to open if you make a connection to it [13:44] conor: on thing usefull. If you are in aterminal or text mode and you xant to scroll the text, you can use shift+pageUP or shift+pageDown [13:44] DistroJockey: I dont want to lose the things which i have now. [13:45] m4cdaddy, http://pastie.org/221071 [13:45] berent, I'm ok with diskjokey... upgrade is bad... Start with a new fresh install [13:45] WalloO: Will that get rid of this wall of text I get? [13:45] berent, well, I hope you have a backup which ever way you go [13:45] I am not able to send email [13:45] conor, it will scrall, like if you use a scrall bar [13:46] hi, i have several mount points in fstab with option noauto,user [13:46] rubydiamond, those are the open ports [13:46] how can i configure that these show up in nautilus, even if they're not mounted? [13:46] conor: do you know you can copy paste by selecting a text with the mouse, then just press the mouse wheel button to past it? [13:46] but m4cdaddy 587 is not [13:46] sipior: It failed again! [13:47] conor: more specifically? [13:47] rubydiamond: Why do you need that port open to send email? [13:47] does someone know a tool to edit .hid files? [13:47] rubydiamond, you need to connect to something that makes it open or write a C program to open it [13:47] Pici, I think I am not getting it [13:47] sipior: Is there away to paste a wall of text without being banned? [13:47] !pastebin | conor [13:47] conor: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [13:48] conor: Use a pastebin [13:48] m4cdaddy, okay will try to debug why email is not getting sent [13:48] c0ffee, comment the line then restart. It may show up, and it may be mounted only when you click on it (this the case with hardy heron) [13:48] Thank you [13:48] Question: Does Segment fault ring a bell to anyone? The past 2 days i've had instability every time i boot ubuntu.. [13:48] conor, not in irc, this is a protection against flood attack... [13:49] bonjour [13:49] sipior: http://paste.ubuntu.com/22596/ [13:49] is there any way to run macros written in vba for microsoft excel while in ubuntu? [13:49] cosmo: is sdb the external USB drive? [13:49] Leefmc, segmentation fault is probably bevause your software read or write in memory where it can'T it'S a software problem === tofaffy_ is now known as tofaffy|lappy [13:49] poosenki, i dont think so [13:49] yes [13:49] rubydiamond, are you using sendmail? [13:49] Poosenki: You might try running Excel through WinE. [13:50] Can resizing a partition affect other partitions on the hard drive? [13:50] nope [13:50] I am using ruby library [13:50] WalloO, in /etc/fstab? [13:50] action_mailer_tls [13:50] poosenki, try with openoffice... But I don't know [13:50] WalloO: What is generally done to fix it? [13:50] and smtp settings [13:50] Filthpig: It always does - at least one other partition. Think of it as walls along the garden of your disk. [13:50] WalloO: I'm already planning to format in a couple days so i can put /home on a partition of its own [13:50] berzerka, yes [13:50] WalloO: thanks, but it doesn't seem to run it [13:50] Filthpig: Changing the sizes of partitions moves the walls. [13:50] StephenZ[asleep]: alright, thanks, i'll give that i shot [13:51] hello [13:51] c0ffee, yes. My vista ntfs disk is not mounted nor in /etc/fsta. However, i can see it in nautulus, and it's mounted when I go in it [13:51] cosmo: hmm you should definitively check wether that drive is dying. i would guess so. [13:51] can some one tell me why i keep getting this [13:51] root@ubuntu:/var/lib# chmod 775 mysql [13:51] chmod: changing permissions of `mysql': Operation not permitted [13:51] lol it works [13:51] thanks ppl for awesome help [13:51] cosmo: look at line 4420 onwards [13:51] berzerka, I have not had any problems with it in windows and it is less than a year old [13:52] Leefmc, you have to find an update. But if it's just a new problem, maybe yoiu broke somethin somewhere. [13:52] any one ? [13:52] WalloO, but where does nautilus know from that the disk even exists? [13:52] WalloO, i just tried it, and it doesn't work :-/ [13:52] Poosenki: it's normal it doesn't run it. It'S a software crash. [13:52] WalloO: An update? To what, my system is up to date heh [13:52] WalloO: Note that it happens only when booting up [13:52] Leefmc, the software with a problem. [13:53] conor: be sure you have linux-libc-dev installed [13:53] cosmo: well, if windows encounters such a failure, i guess it tries hard to just go on somehow, but that might not be the right way if you don't want to loose your data.. [13:53] WalloO: Well what software is running before i even see the ubuntu loader? [13:53] leemf, you can but /home an another disk. This is a good way to upgrade easily later. [13:53] cosmo: there are I/O errors on the device, and then the EHCI host controller driver apparently resets. [13:53] StephenZ[asleep], okay.. So.. Say I wanna shrink partition D: in windows with perhaps 10 gb to use for ubuntu.. Then C: will also be affected by this? Since they're on the same hard drive..? I've always though of resizing as only moving the fence on only one side of the garden, to use your symbology [13:53] any one please help me [13:53] :( [13:53] WalloO: I know, but i gatta wipe ubuntu to do that. They're on the same disk heh [13:53] sipior: I'll find it in Synaptic? [13:54] conor: yep [13:54] C0ffee, it knoes, like when you plkug a usb key. Have you restarted after commenting it? [13:54] filthpig, no it changes the size of Windows part [13:54] Leefmc, none exept the bios, and then the bootloader (grub) [13:54] WalloO, yes (this irc client is running on a remote box) [13:54] Filthpig: If you have a garden, with a wall running through the middle, and you move that wall, both sides of the garden change size. The wall doesn't expand to fill the gap. [13:54] filthpig, it cant just add 10G to your harddrive out of no where ... [13:54] WalloO, when you plug in an usb key, you don't need server,path etc, like for an nfs mount [13:54] cosmo: your lockup, however, seems to be related to this error (since it is the last entry before restart): Jun 24 05:32:20 cosmo-ubuntu kernel: [11480.223651] gdm[5398]: segfault at 00000009 eip b77db7e5 esp bfccf340 error 6 [13:55] WalloO: So GRUB might be out of date? heh, weird. [13:55] sipior: Yes its installed [13:55] m4cdaddy, I know that. That is why I wanna SHRINK part D: without affecting C: [13:55] c0ffee, you talk about a phisical disk or a remote one? [13:55] remote [13:56] berzerka, it really seems to have the issue when I try to access my music files on there in a music application like amarok [13:56] when i mount it with mount /media/nfs, it appears in nautilus an i can umount it [13:56] cosmo: if gdm segfaults, you won't get a graphical login anymore i guess. try switching to the virtual console (ctrl-alt-F1) next time this happens. [13:56] but i want to be able to mount it from nautilus as well [13:56] Leefmc, non, I think your grub is broken. There is no issue with grub. Especialy if it worked before. Your disk may have an issue or something likre that [13:56] conor: are more detailed instructions to be found in the tarball you extracted? should be an INSTALL file or the like [13:56] how do I install the mplayer codecs /essential-20071007/ archive? I have an avi movie where only the audio plays [13:56] filthpig, well just shrink the windows one, you don't need it : ) [13:56] conor: also, what is this driver supposed to do? [13:57] WalloO: I gatta get netbooting down too, seeing as soon my disk may finally go in my laptop and i wont be able to use it to install anymore. [13:57] WalloO: Hmm, suck [13:57] c0ffee, haaaa. sorry.... I don't know. When I did that myself, it didn't appeared as a disk in nautilus too [13:57] sipior: Its a soundcard driver for my creative x-FI, I hear its not too popular for linux users, I can see why [13:58] JC_Denton_: What are you trying to play on/with? Totem? MPlayer? [13:58] WalloO, thanks anyway :/ [13:58] JC_Denton_, habe you tried VLC ? it works most of the time [13:58] cosmo: please: build the drive into your PC if possible and use a vendor's tool (http://www.ultimatebootcd.com) to check wether it is failing. if not, do a thorough filesystem check. then try to reproduce the behaviour, possibly in single user mode. i have to leave now. [13:58] c0ffee, soory to not be able to help you more [13:58] i surch an application to chat like yahoo messenger [13:59] tried vlc, failed. totem fails too.. mplayer movie player works [13:59] etayouo, pdgin, it's installed by default [13:59] JC_Denton_: You can try Totem again, with the Gstreamer plugins installed [13:59] etayouo, it'S in menu->Internet->pidgin [13:59] sipior: the readme is very basic, almost no information accept telling me to type ./install [13:59] Have you installed the GStreamer plugins? [13:59] can some one please please help [13:59] JC_Denton_: Have you installed the GStreamer plugins? [13:59] JC_Denton_, and your avi is a good one? [14:00] xgas, peculiarly everthing works now [14:00] i have yahoo messenger on my Vista system but i want used on ubuntu [14:00] conor: and no software dependencies given? or on the website you found? [14:00] hmm. [14:00] I tried a couple of days ago and all I got was a solid gray output [14:00] etayouo, use pidgin. It works with yahoo, aim, masn, etc.... === master_o1_master is now known as master_of_master [14:00] xgas, WalloO thanks, it was a non-issue :) [14:00] sipior: http://paste.ubuntu.com/22599/ [14:00] you have yahoo compatible ubuntu? [14:01] sipior: Thats the short read me [14:01] etayouo: Use Pidgin, I used it with MSN/Hotmail/Live, Google Mail, and Yahoo. [14:01] WalloO: How often does this sort of thing happen? [14:01] what command can i use to check what graphics card i have [14:01] etayouo, heyy... I said you 10 times to use pdgin. This software will work with yahoo... You don't understand? [14:01] conor: ick. i bet you don't have a fully-configured kernel source tree lying around? [14:01] http://bux.to/?r=zeljko1 [14:01] http://bux.to/?r=zeljko1 [14:02] http://bux.to/?r=zeljko1 [14:02] oups pidgin. [14:02] http://bux.to/?r=zeljko1 [14:02] http://bux.to/?r=zeljko1 [14:02] L|NUX: Try sudo? [14:02] Klej: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[14:02] sipior: I have no idea what that is [14:02] sipior: http://opensource.creative.com/ thats the website I got the driver [14:02] WalloO: I think etayouo needs a walkthrough to setup the account login info on Pidgin. [14:02] Wooo, I finally got wine to run the game I want. Huzzah. [14:02] hello everyone, i am using Ubuntu hardy 8.04 with unsupported updates (hardy-backports). It seems the openoffice 2.4.1 have problem using Gnome interface. Anyone know how to solve this problem? The openoffice 2.4.0 was fine. I can't use Open icon to get the file list from file system, the pop up window hung the whole OO [14:03] Leefmc, what? [14:03] WalloO: How often does this sort of thing happen? [14:03] WalloO: The error i got, etc. [14:03] thanks for all [14:03] WalloO: Format-worthy errors, etc. [14:04] Colin1, Congrats! Let winehq know how you did it if they don't know then :) [14:04] snap [14:04] * DistroJockey sighs [14:04] how do I force nautilus to generate video thumbnails? [14:04] Leefmc, as soon as a disk has an error. It can happen randomly... :) [14:04] WalloO: Well, assuming its a disk error heh. [14:05] Leefmc, it seems to, but difficult to say from remote [14:05] WalloO: Seems odd i get an operating system stopping disk error twice in 2 days for the first time in years, while running ubuntu for my first session heh [14:05] conor: yeah, this is a bit hard to discuss via irc, i'm afraid. basically, you'll need the kernel source (which you can get via synaptic) for the kernel version that you are running. you also need the kernel configuration file, also for the version that you are running, which you can find in /boot/config-x.y.z-a-generic [14:05] WalloO: Gotcha [14:05] pen, I've had a little look at that and can't see an easy way. My only thought is to move the files [14:05] hello everyone [14:05] DistroJockey: what do you mean [14:06] WalloO: By the way, how well does Ubuntu handle a forced hard-shutoff (killing power) during the boot process? [14:06] Hello [14:06] can some one please help me [14:06] pen, make a new folder and move the files to it (I am assuming that will generate new thumbnails) [14:06] i get this error [14:06] root@ubuntu:/var/lib# mv mysql mysql.old [14:06] mv: cannot move `mysql' to `mysql.old': Operation not permitted [14:06] root@ubuntu:/var/lib# [14:06] L|NUX: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:06] sipior: Sounds like allot of work ><. Where do I type that? [14:06] i do not know why [14:07] I'm thinking of installing hardy. I've been using feisty for months now and I was wondering how the broadcom wireless cards work with hardy? are they still alot of work to setup? Thanks in advance [14:07] i am sorry for flood :( [14:07] conor: yeah, it is not at all straightforward, i'm afraid [14:07] can some one please [14:07] DistroJockey: moving the files to new folder doesn't force it to create thumbnails [14:07] sipior: I hate drivers.... [14:07] Leefmc, very well for me.. I tested some overclock to 3.6Ghz with my Q6600 2.4Ghz, and before I found the good stable settings, it hard rebooted several times without any issue. But sometimes, shit happens... :) [14:07] L|NUX, what do you need Private Message me [14:07] pen, bummer :( [14:07] DistroJockey: there are only pictures in specific folders have thumbnails [14:08] L|NUX: you don't have permission to write in that directory. try prefacing your command with sudo [14:08] who i reconfigure my Xorg? [14:08] sipior : i am root [14:08] :( [14:08] L|NUX, or chmod 777 [14:08] root@ubuntu:/var/lib# id [14:08] uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root) [14:08] root@ubuntu:/var/lib# [14:08] conor: yes, i agree. typically, you use a card which is already supported by your kernel, to avoid this unpleasantness [14:08] pen, sorry, I have seen the issue, but have not looked into it [14:08] L|NUX: is there already a directory or file called mysql.old? [14:08] LInux, because mysql soiftware lock the folder. [14:08] same error [14:08] L|NUX, or sudo chmod 777 /directory/ [14:08] trying [14:08] hold [14:08] DistroJockey: ok [14:08] WalloO: what on earth is that supposed to mean?

[14:24] hey everyone- i have a quasi odd question here. I'm trying to connect to a pc104 board I have through my ubuntu desktop. It is connected via the serial port. How do i communicate with the PC104 board over the serial port? What program/commands do I need to use? so far my efforts have been... wrong. [14:24] Hi [14:24] Hi [14:24] hello zoobox [14:24] hi zoobox [14:25] wazup? [14:25] when will there be a description of the changes for nvidia-glx-new ? [14:26] right now the update manager just says the list of changes is not yet available, try again later when I click on nvidia-glx-new in the list of updates [14:26] k000100010001010, I think everyone would be happy if you got a new nick - it's very difficult to answer if we first have to write this long name... [14:26] type k00 and hit tab Frank---gutsy === k000100010001010 is now known as k00 [14:26] oh thanks [14:26] :-) np [14:26] zoobox: probably just the server is busy right now.. thus its unavailable. [14:26] aha [14:27] so no one here has any idea how to deal with serial port connections? [14:27] !tab | Frank---gutsy [14:27] Frank---gutsy: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [14:27] yeah, thanks all. :) [14:27] Frank---gutsy: its no real different than typing Frank---gutsy his isn't much diffrerent [14:28] IndyGunFreak: :D oh yes, that's true. [14:29] does anyone here know how long it will be until apt-file is fixed?

[14:35] How can i create an user with the lower lever of permissions?? [14:35] MOzartstaedter: you should use caution before changing the owner of the folder, what exactly do you need to do? [14:35] I meant that the user cant modify any confiruration [14:35] IndyGunFreak: /var/www/ [14:35] MOzartstaedter: don't change the permission on that folder, what do you need to do inside that folder? [14:35] some of the 16 updates have description now (libsmbclient, linux-headers, linux-image, linux-libc-dev, linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-15-generic, and others) but some don't (linux-generic, linux-restricted-modules-generic, nvidia-glx-new) so I guess I wait til tomorrow with updating then.... [14:36] mary_lix: a user that can't modify any GLOBAL configuration is a normal system user [14:36] IndyGunFreak: i want to create a new folder with a homepage inside [14:36] but for example a normal user can modify the menus of the gnome panel [14:36] zoobox: linux-restricted-modules-generic is a metapackage [14:36] MOzartstaedter: type this in a terminal.. "gksudo nautilus" no quotes, hit enter, a file browser will open up w/ root priv... navigate to the folder in question, and create what you want [14:36] Hello, please help me if you can. http://paste.ubuntu.com/22612/ [14:37] zoobox: it depends on linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-15-generic [14:37] IndyGunFreak: ok i will try that thx [14:37] I want that the user can open the "edit menus" option from the application panel [14:37] sorry cant [14:37] mary_lix: you're saying your user can't edit your menu?

[14:38] but i dont one he to modify it [14:38] mary_lix: but if other users are logged in, the will see their "own" configuration of the menus [14:38] do plog in a terminal, omar_ [14:38] cos other users will use that computer with same account [14:39] mary_lix: oh, ok, i understand [14:39] Jack_Sparrow: h4ck3r too [14:39] !ask | SSDF 1305 of us here [14:39] Chousuke: aha.... so for that one it should automaticly say what the other linux-restricted-modules* say "ABI bump to -15" ... [14:39] SSDF 1305 of us here: 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. :-) [14:39] IndyGunFreak: ahh its working =) thx, what is the difference between gksudo nautilus and the normal filebrowsing? is the gksudo granting root-rights for the root-area? [14:39] I have a question regarding Laptops and Docking [14:39] mary_lix: but i'm sorry, i can't help you then. :( [14:39] !gksudo | MOzartstaedter [14:39] MOzartstaedter: 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) [14:39] Jack_Sparrow: bad completion there.

[14:40] Flannel Did Pici get the right one? [14:40] I was wondering if someone could give me their opinion...I've got a built in webcam on my laptop, and it worked perfectly right out of the box, but last night it stopped working [14:41] not picked up by skype, cheese, camorama [14:41] but my system registers it as being there [14:41] Jack_Sparrow: I got a different one, not one that Flannel reported. [14:41] Jack_Sparrow: Yeah, you both -b'd the right one [14:41] omar_: looks like ppp connection was established. try sudo poff dsl-provider twice [14:41] also I plugged in another webcam, and it also didn't work, but was also showing up [14:41] marco, i'm not sure you can do that. As far as i know, the only thing the dock does, is pluggin "cables" in all the ports of the comp [14:42] is there a burn application for gnome similar to K3b that will allow me to burn VCDs? [14:42] Col^ okay, thanks for the info [14:42] Anyone can help me with compiz a little [14:42] ? [14:42] yes, albech. tovid and many many others [14:42] I think you'll have to do a script when you plugin something specific [14:43] definitely Please ask your question or we wont know how to help you [14:43] omar_: then after you see the "no pppd running: None stopped" message reconnect with sudo pon dsl-provider [14:43] Jack_Sparrow: Ok, have problem with "Snow" extra, when i tick it, it automatically went to be unticked :( [14:43] Col^ Yeah, I suppose I'll have to do some more research on Internets. Is there a way/how would you detect and execute a script from plugging in a cable? [14:44] babolat: After the second time, it said: /usr/bin/poff: No pppd is running. None stopped. === Bodsda|AFK is now known as Bodsda [14:44] marco, no clue at all [14:44] omar_then do "sudo pon dsl-provider" once [14:44] definitely That sounds more like a question for /join #Compiz rather than something with Ubuntu [14:44] Col^ okay thanks [14:45] Jack_Sparrow: #Compiz is also in FreeNode ? [14:45] omar__: do "sudo pon dsl-provider" only once [14:45] hi [14:45] babolat: I just did, and it said: Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded. [14:45] but marco, i suppose it should be quite simple making a script that reacts on e.g. plugging in an usb-dongle or something. [14:45] definitely type right here /join #Compiz [14:45] marco, no problem [14:45] Jack_Sparrow: Ok thnx :) [14:45] how can I create a user with the lower level of permissions??? [14:45] np === Commie_Jebus is now known as Communizt [14:46] so he cant modify/configure anything??

I am trying to install TinyOS on Hardy AMD64 as per http://www.5secondfuse.com/tinyos/install.html - after editing my /etc/sources.list, it can't find the necessary packages. I suppose this is because I'm using AMD64 and the packages are i386. Is there a clean way to install the 32 bit versions on my system? [14:46] mary_lix: i was just going through user groups/permissions, and I don't see anywhere where that option is available. [14:46] does the notification area have any autohide feature? [14:46] mary_lix: you should be able to do that at System > Admin > Users and groups [14:46] yeah marco, i think you'll have to talk to some scripters about it, i'm quite green on that area. [14:47] mary_lix: why ar eyou concerned about him editing his menu, on his user account? [14:47] is there maybe a newer version of the notification area panel applet that has autohide? [14:47] because its a shared computer [14:47] hi all! [14:47] babolat: 0% packet loss in both. [14:47] Is it easy to ugrade Ubuntu Server over SSH? [14:47] mary_lix: but the user menu's will be different for each user. [14:47] does someone know about problems with the sound subsystem im 8.04? [14:48] mary_lix: if he modifies his menu under his user account, it will not effect your menu [14:48] omar__: then your pppd connection is working.. place a call to your ISP. maybe that's where the problem is [14:48] dominikf: yes PulseAudio has some problems [14:48] Col^ okay, I'm going to go do more research [14:48] under your accounbt [14:48] is there any application that send free sms in linux? [14:48] but other people is gonna use the computer with the same account [14:48] its a internet bar [14:48] visik7: can I switch to some other system? [14:48] mary_lix: i don't know, good luck w/ that one [14:48] yes to alsa system->preferences->sound [14:49] mary_lix: i believe there is a specific version of ubuntu made for coffee shops and such, it probably has all of that set up too [14:49] babolat: Yeah, that's possible. But what's freaking me off is that when I called them, they said my connection has no problems at all. [14:49] <_fr4nk_> hi [14:49] anyone here knows something about computing/ubuntu [14:49] itai-michaelson: Most cell providers provide a way to send SMS messages via Email.

[14:50] mary_lix: it has nothing to do w/ knowledge orlack of knowledge id on't think what you're wanting tod o is possible.. at least to my knowledge. [14:50] how do I force nautilus to generate video thumbnails? [14:50] Umm, yeah. I used to connect to the internet though my other pc. [14:50] and not amir there isnt a specific version for coffee shops [14:50] im having problems with firefox and other sound apps while both are running [14:50] dominikf: thats a pulse-audio bug === SSDF is now known as Skylar [14:51] Do hard drives stop spinning if you unmount them?

Or if not, try measuring the time between disconnections in that Ubuntu box.. aside from that i dunno what else to suggest :) [14:52] mary_lix: i think you're confused, not the people you're asking === johnnybug is now known as jconnolly === jedimind|zzzz is now known as jedimind [14:53] IndyGunFreak: can firefox configured to use alsa??

[14:53] IndyGunFreak yesterday I couldnt spell internet cafe.. today I are ownin one.. yeeeha [14:53] mary_lix: lol.. i had an idea.. that it wasnm'tpossible, but you don't seem to accept that [14:54] Jack_Sparrow: lol [14:54] omar__: It causes nautilus to regenerate them. [14:54] I am having some trouble with my nvidia 8600gt card under ubuntu 64. The screen looks all screwed up and I get just a big box as mouse pointer. Similar results happen with nv or nvidia-glx-new drivers. I can just get vesa running [14:54] hi there, with nmap, anyone know why: nmap -v -open shows closed/filtered aswell, instead of just open? --open doesnt work either [14:54] is there some known issue?

I usually start out at a very conservative setting and work my way up. [14:56] pen: That was for you, my bad. Delete the files in ~/.thumbnails [14:56] spdf: It's okay. :) [14:56] Simguru, i tried with the standard setting made by driver [14:56] spdf: no use. I deleted once. Nothing but pictures are generated [14:57] spdf: i mean [14:57] spdf: only thumbnails for pictures are generated [14:57] Simguru, does it sound like something you have seen before? [14:57] spdf: no thumbnails for videos [14:57] pen, Strange.. Video thumbnails are regenerated here [14:57] spdf: like avi, wma [14:57] smv [14:57] wmv [14:58] Simguru, i had before same card and worked fine. now I changed PCs and got some lame manufacturer for vid card i guess. [14:58] spdf: is it because I deleted totem? [14:58] hi [14:58] clusty: Not under your conditions, no. The only thing I can think of is setting the resolution to 800 x 600. [14:58] clusty: I am using a 8800GT under 8.04 64 bit [14:58] I installed Ubuntu 8.04 Server on one machine here. For some reason, LILO was installed as boot loader. I want to have grub. How can I replace grub with LILO in a easy way with ubuntu? [14:59] pen, Its possible. Though I'm not aware of whether or not it uses totem.. I would think gstreamer. [14:59] Simguru, will give it a shot. any clues what can be wrong? [14:59] clusty, your having problems with nvidia restricted drivers on the -19 kernel? [14:59] spdf: oh [14:59] spdf: brb [15:00] pen, If its unable to read the file (ie. gstreamer plugins not installed), it would fail.. [15:00] Bodsda, don't think its 19. its the installation CD version [15:00] Bodsda, should be 16 or 17 [15:00] clusty: Honestly, no. I would also post to http://forums.nvidia.com/ - I found them to be very helpful. [15:00] Does anyone know how what happens when someone presses the Cancel button in a zenity script. And how can I respond to this event? [15:00] pen, let me check on what it uses to generate [15:00] clusty, oh, sorry, thought i had the same issue,.,. guess not -- have u enabled all repositories then run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade ? [15:00] Simguru, thanks a bunch. will give them a spin [15:00] Bodsda, yeap [15:00] clusty: Also, run software update. I remember Ubuntu posted AT LEAST one update to nvidia-glx-new. [15:01] clusty, and theres nothing in System --> Admin --> Hardware Drivers ? [15:02] Bodsda, it asks me to install binary driver and after restart its junk [15:02] i'm reinstalling hardy...again. Trying to get fglrx to work with compiz. Should I use xorg driver or envyng? [15:02] clusty, i suppose youve checked your xorg.conf === Sanelma is now known as jokumuu [15:02] Bodsda, yes. I changed drivers manually [15:02] to nv and vesa [15:02] ok [15:02] I'd avoid using envy if at all possible [15:03] heloo [15:03] clusty, try 'nvidia' [15:03] genii: why? [15:03] clusty, also what happens if you boot to recovery mode, then choose the 'fix x' option? [15:03] !envy [15:03] 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. [15:03] I am trying to install TinyOS on Hardy AMD64 as per http://www.5secondfuse.com/tinyos/install.html - after editing my /etc/sources.list, it can't find the necessary packages.

[15:03] chori: Thats why [15:03] Bodsda, will try. thanks [15:04] clusty, hope it helps ;~) [15:04] errr [15:04] SSDF, whats up? [15:04] genii: ok :) I didn't get either to work, had to download from ati's homepage... those works somewhat === acuster is now known as avc_lurk [15:07] pen, Yeh, removing totem looks like it would do it.. try sudo update-alternatives --config gnome-video-thumbnailer [15:07] are there any linux-program that can open windows hlp-files?

[15:09] ok thanks [15:09] hiptobecubic: qemu? [15:09] hiptobecubic: Is a virtual machine out of the question? [15:09] hiptobecubic You cant keep windows from killing grub but the grub tutorial will help you fix it after the fact [15:09] zoobox: Wine has something called winhelp which can do it [15:10] hiptobecubic: I think installing Windows after Ubuntu pretty much owns grub, but you can reinstall grub afterwards [15:10] ah... [15:10] hiptobecubic: I love your nickname, BTW :) [15:10] How to get drivers for WLAN-chip ZD1211 rigth to kernel? [15:10] i'm not interested in doing a virtual machine because i'll be doing video and sound processing and i'm trying to keep cpu load as low as possible [15:10] Simguru, thx :D [15:10] hey can anyone tell me whether the ubuntu alternate installer actually needs to connect to the internet when it says scanning the mirror [15:10] ????? [15:11] i know this isn't the right place for it, but i recently set up a linux install hoping i could use the shell to ssh in godaddy hosting, but the connection always seems to timeout before connecting. does anyone have any advice? [15:11] Jack_Sparrow, i'll check the great googley woogley for the tutorial thanks. [15:11] !grub | hiptobecubic [15:11] hiptobecubic: 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 [15:11] aata It will try but continue if it cant find it [15:11] !grub [15:11] hello, I have problems installing my samsung multi function printer, which is supposed to work with hardy right away. These are the system log lines after connecting it to the usb: http://pastebin.com/m65d2bf3b Anybody has a hint for me? Thank you [15:11] heh, beat you to it Jack_Sparrow ;) [15:11] :) [15:12] aata: If it doesn't connect then it will give you a blank sources.list file and always try to connect to cd [15:12] Jack_Sparrow b/c its stuck on 28% and says scanning the mirror [15:12] genii ^^ [15:12] Have a good one, everyone! [15:12] MarcoPau Where did you see that it is supported? [15:12] It was fun helping out for a spell [15:12] Adios! [15:13] aata was it connected and you lost connection? [15:13] Jack_Sparrow, genii could it have something to do with being broadcom? [15:13] ! [15:13] Jack_Sparrow: samsung released its linux drivers, and I read a few people on the web who succeded in installing it [15:13] aata not really... [15:13] Jack_Sparrow not exactly sure if it was conected or not though it did say network autoconfig successful [15:13] !wlan [15:14] Where are the interfaces listed with ifconfig -a configured/listed in config files? I want to remove the tap0 and tap1 devices, but I can't find them [15:14] !wlan | happosade [15:14] they're not in /etc/network/interfaces [15:14] aata: Is your problem that your wireless card doesn't work or that the install won't continue for some reason without an internet connection? [15:14] MarcoPau That is not the same as working with Hardy right away [15:14] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [15:14] Jack_Sparrow: well, they said they did actually install it in hardy, and worked right away [15:14] ASULutzy probably because it cant connect to the internet and therefore stalls [15:15] aata You might try again. but with the network cable unplugged [15:15] Jack_Sparrow no network cable in the first place [15:15] just using wlan though it does have an ethernet jack [15:15] aata: That's weird... I wouldn't think that you'd actually need to be connected to install Ubuntu. As far as wireless drivers go, you can find pretty much everything you'll ever need Broadcom wise at the following: [15:15] aata: !Broadcom | aata [15:15] oops [15:15] !Broadcom | aata [15:15] aata: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [15:15] Wait, that one wasn't the one I wanted... [15:16] Where's the feisty one? [15:16] MarcoPau I dont mean to split hairs, but when you say it should work right away, that implies that there were no drivers or additional insttallation required and that it autodetected and worked out of the box. [15:16] whats the chinese chanel for ubuntu irc? [15:16] Jack_Sparrow, ASULutzy now that i think of it, this cant be a broadcom issue because the ethernet adapter was broadcom. wlan is intel. my bad :P [15:16] !cn [15:16] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [15:16] !zh | itai-michaelson [15:16] itai-michaelson: please see above [15:16] Jack_Sparrow: I meant that it worked right away after installing its drivers, sorry for the misunderstanding [15:17] thanks [15:17] still doesnt solve my problem though. any way to skip the step? [15:17] MarcoPau Were there any errors when you installed the drivers? [15:17] Jack_Sparrow: the drivers installation tool, here, doesn't see the printer [15:17] MarcoPau Do you have the printer on when you run the tool. [15:17] Jack_Sparrow: sure [15:18] Jack_Sparrow: I posted the /var/log/messages output when connecting it [15:18] MarcoPau If you hang out here for awhile.. you will see it isnt such a silly question [15:18] i.e. turning it on [15:18] I installed Ubuntu 8.04 Server on one machine here. For some reason, LILO was installed as boot loader. I want to have grub. How can I replace grub with LILO in a easy way with ubuntu?

[15:21] aata You can try pulling the plug.. and see if it detects the loss of internet and continues. [15:22] Jack_Sparrow its working through the wireless... not an cable connection [15:22] a cable connection** [15:22] aata: In these situations it's usually better to just let it chug along til it times out or so on [15:22] hello! could someone tell me how can I set up my NON-default Google calendar in evolution?

[15:24] hey why was ubotu changed to ubottu? [15:24] ASULutzy BCM43xx https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff were you looking for that earlier [15:24] hi! where is JDKHOME/lib/tools.jar located? i need to specify its path for netbeans [15:25] Jack_Sparrow: I was looking for that to forward along to aata, it's a very useful factoid and I was sort of curious why the !Broadcom didn't link to it ;) [15:25] I think there's an issue w/ the 2.6.24-19-xen image though, doesn't make proper menu.lst enteries, and I get an error when manually trying to boot said image/initrd in grub even though they're on the hd [15:25] next time I reboot I'll write it down, trying the -18 packages now [15:25] ASULutzy I did link it to it.. some other op changed it back.. [15:25] forget i've found it [15:25] :D [15:25] balrog :D [15:25] ASULutzy I have not had time to figure out who changed it [15:26] I just typed 2 sentences [15:26] Jack_Sparrow: Probably because that only deals with 43xx and not all of Broadcom as a whole? I dunno, but can I do !bcm43xx for that one? [15:26] !bcm43xx [15:26] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [15:26] hello [15:26] Nope. [15:26] yeh, and the bcm43xx driver = deprecated [15:26] Jack_Sparrow do ya know why ubotu is now ubottu? [15:26] it's all b43/b43legacy now, baby! [15:26] what is that command line tool for monitoring network? [15:26] does anyone know how to contact ubuntu backports developers for questions? [15:26] is it ntop? [15:26] i thought hardy recognized/supported broadcom out of the box now? [15:26] it comes pre-installed [15:26] aata Yes I do.. and it isnt important [15:26] Well, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff has saved me and a couple friends tons of googling, it's realy well written and easy to follow [15:26] Jack_Sparrow will take your word for it ;) [15:27] Indy: and they just backported the fix for bcm4318rev02 :D [15:27] IndyGunFreak Some of them are yes.. [15:27] woah [15:27] IndyGunFreak: My card isn't supported out of the box [15:27] ASULutzy, it's 2008 [15:27] ASULutzy: like i siad, that was my understanding... [15:27] howlingmadhowie i solved te problem! [15:27] ndiswrapper = wack wack wack [15:27] there are more than a couple different bbcm43's [15:27] atheros works fine... :) [15:27] ASULutzy, lspci for me please? [15:28] b43 _really_ should support your chipset, been following it for quite some time now [15:28] teamcobra: Well, I have native drivers for my USB wireless adapter, but for my internal broadcom I had to setup ndiswrapper. 02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4310 USB Controller (rev 01) [15:28] would this command: "gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --load /root/panel2.xml /apps/panel" update the contents of /apps/panel to that of the file /panel2.xml ? [15:28] teamcobra: Maybe it does? But all I know is when I turned this laptop on and went to system -> administration -> restricted drivers, there was nothing there :) [15:29] ASU: try this: blacklist ndiswrapper, rmmod ndiswrapper [15:29] teamcobra I have a couple of Dells with the bcm43 that will not work with b43 [15:29] Jack: and they don't work w/ b43legacy? [15:29] nope [15:29] teamcobra: heh, if you pastebin me some stuff to try I will (later) I'm at work right now, can't exactly be taking a shot in the dark for if it will work [15:29] Jack in the -19 kernel? [15:30] ASULutzy, : ahh, basically when you get a chance, it's a simple "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter" [15:30] w/ ndiswrapper blacklisted and the other wireless plugged in [15:30] teamcobra I dont know what kernel are in them.. they are working now and on site.. so until they quit.. I wont see them [15:30] JFS, XFS ou EXT3? [15:30] JFS, XFS or EXT3? [15:30] teamcobra: Have they changed it recently? Because I tried that before and blacklisted ndiswrapper as well as one other thing (saw it on a wiki) and it didn't work. If something was changed recently I guess I can give it another go [15:30] anyone? [15:31] ASULutzy, well, my card isn't even supposed to work in 2.6.25, and the kernel devs said it'd be too much to backport it.... but lo and behold, the ubuntu kernel team whoops the llama again [15:31] yeap [15:31] I have 4 laptops w/ bcm pos and they all work now [15:31] menininho, depends on the situation [15:31] desktop/laptop, go w/ ext3 [15:32] menininho I will second ext3 for general use [15:32] a friend of mine is trying to install ubuntu and the installation freezes om 15% with a error msg "cannot create /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpi0/cpufreq/scaling_governor: Diretorio iexistente [15:32] CPU frenquency scaling not supported" [15:32] teamcobra: I might give it a try later tonight, but honestly I have no problems using ndiswrapper. If I'm doing something semi-dubious and need to enter monitor mode I just plug in my trendnet USB adapter and good to go ;) [15:32] ext3 is much low comparable with xfs / jfs [15:33] does anyone know how to proceed ? [15:33] hi folks, i just accidentally switched my gnome into, i think, some sort of zoomy high-resolution mode (probably for folks with vision problems). how do i get out of it? [15:33] ASULutzy, ndiswrapper can cause some nasty nasty panics [15:33] i love being ignored! [15:33] teamcobra: I seem to be pretty stable? I've not seen a single crash on this laptop yet while in Ubuntu or OpenSuse11... Maybe that's just me getting lucky ;) [15:34] blah: not too familiar w/ gconf in the terminal [15:34] menininho ext3 works fine, has journaling and is easier to get help with if something goes wrong [15:34] hahahahahahhaa, speaking of opensuse [15:34] blahblahx Please stop [15:34] depends on what you have(hardware, situation), do(what type of data you store), and need(power saving, performance, etc). [15:34] I personally use XFS [15:34] Jack_Sparrow: why is everyone ignoring me? [15:34] there's some errata that I haven't had to touch since 2.6.18 that they somehow brought back in their 2.6.25 kernel [15:34] Jack_Sparrow: they could at least say i dont know [15:34] but XFS hinders power saving partially. [15:34] and unless I pass noapic, it'll freeze randomly ;p [15:35] opensuse 11 seemed kind of... unpolished (and this is coming from a longtime slack user) [15:35] blahblahx: There are 1300+ people in the channel, would you really want each one to say, "I don't know" everytime they don't the answer? It's hard enough to follow this channel as it is [15:35] blahblahx Why should 1200 people tell you they dont know... [15:35] hi, I have a problem... a friend just saw that his windows installation has dissapeared from his grub menu... we tried sudo updat-grub twice and it still isn't there... anyone have an idea how to generate a new menu swith the windows installation in it? [15:35] ASULutzy: at least i would get the illusion people wanted to help with any problem that was the least bit challenging. [15:35] blahblahx If they knew they would answer.. quite simple [15:36] Jack_Sparrow: so out of 1300 people no one here knows how to use gconf? [15:36] blahblahx it would be a better question for #bash channel [15:36] teamcobra: This is getting pretty offtopic so PM me if you want to chat further about it, but I agree. It was polished in some regards (shiny grub, nice installation) but some basic things were just hosed. For example they're still using the evolution that isn't patched yet so clicking edit ->preferences crashes it. There's lots of stuff that makes it look rushed in some regards [15:36] greets gents. i have a new monitor which actually goes higher than 1024x768 [15:37] genii ok so the scanning mirror thing passed, and then it said select he servicces, so all i selected was ubuntu desktop.. now its stuck at 6% of select and install :P this is fun :D [15:37] pep: You're sure the Windows partition is still there right? (you can try sudo fdisk -l in the terminal to make sure there's still an NTFS part, and then go from there) [15:37] it is [15:37] its not selectable from gdms' "Screen Resolution" app. [15:37] I will try to add it manually [15:37] how do i get my monitor's displays detected and selectable in gdm? [15:38] aata: This is text based install from alternate cd, or regular livecd install? [15:38] anyone know of a program to send your syslog to an irc channel? i used to have a way to send syslog to a jabber chatroom but cant find that info anymore [15:38] Ok so I'm completely new to ubuntu today would be the first day Im using it. === pen_ is now known as pen [15:38] and Um I can't get sound to work ?

[16:56] One prob.. does anyone know how to make it so the FPS on games in wine can go beyond the refresh rate? [16:56] guys, when updates occur, that require a restart, on a remote box i use all the time, how can I have that service ( VNC, remote, etc..) running at the login page, rather than 'after' the user logs in ? [16:56] anyone here to help me out with my phone problem? [16:56] funkadelicchicke, breezy is not supported. Get a more recent version. [16:56] ok thank you [16:56] c1: you can do that also from synaptic [16:56] Is there a way to take files from my windows install and keep them here on the linux partition?

[16:57] filleokus, If you want more partitions you should first create an extended partition. Such a partition can contain other partitions. Because an extended partition is also a primary partition it might be necessary to remove a primary partition first. [16:58] I think i may switch bak to windows even though i hate it, then Ill just go buy the best thing outbook pro looks good, linux is too darn confusing ther, a mac laptop....mac [16:58] snap|l3thal: ubuntu doesn't use rpm [16:58] peter86: aah [16:58] what packade do you need?

Welcome! [17:01] funkadelicchicke: GIve it a while. There is a learning curve but once you get past that then it is much easier to use. [17:01] guys, when updates occur, that require a restart, on a remote box i use all the time, how can I have that service ( VNC, remote, etc..) running at the login page, rather than 'after' the user logs in ?

[17:01] thank you, im gonna go spread the ultimate word of macs [17:01] Vaportrail123new: best to just ask the channel your question [17:02] conor: then you already have it, so just mount your windows partition and use it :) [17:02] Vaportrail123new: upgrade from 6.10 to 8.04 [17:02] ANYONE!!

You need to use old-releases.ubuntu.com as your repositories. It's a lot faster to just backup and install 8.04 rather than upgrading 6.10 -> 7.04 -> 7.10 -> 8.04 [17:04] hi [17:05] GIANTboy: ^^ nop, lg ku990 (viewty [17:05] is there a way of spawning the pipe symbol?

[17:06] mr_boo: depends on your keyboard layout. for me its shift + the key left of "1". | [17:06] mr_boo: you can always use the character map [17:06] filleokus: yeah, i did that in the connectivity setting in the phone but no luck, it asks for my memory card then [17:06] (and i don't have 1) [17:06] im completely new to ubuntu, and linux in general... is there anything i should know before attemtping to update? [17:06] opt1k: yes i get it with this way go to settings > repositories and tick every box except source code. that should give you access to all packages [17:06] opt1k: and it work like a charm on windows i guess?

[17:25] lol [17:25] philh: when i switch to visual effects normal [17:25] thanks man [17:25] wittyphotons: Better to just copy all the iso contents out to some directory which you can write to, make your changes, then create another iso with mkisofs from the contents of that [17:25] Vaportrail123new: you can upgrade 6.10, but because it is so old, it is a hassle and not worth it [17:26] dfgas: it'll be some weird combination of mount, loop devices, growisofs and then regular IO commands. [17:26] dfgas: but I'm not sure exactly what else is needed [17:26] genii, do you know of a way that i can do that while still having the resulting .iso be bootable? [17:26] um/ [17:26] ? [17:26] heh [17:26] genii, the disk image in question is a modified winxp install cd (slipstreamed some drivers in) [17:26] !uck | wittyphotons [17:27] wittyphotons: UCK is a tool that helps you customise official Ubuntu Live CDs (including Kubuntu/Xubuntu and Edubuntu) to your needs. See http://uck.sourceforge.net/ [17:27] dfgas: oh, for wittyphotons psh sorry :-) [17:27] wittyphotons: The mkisofs command has extensive options including many involving boot options, etc. [17:27] genii, i have been racking my brains over this for the last 48 hours [17:27] for windows? [17:27] genii, is there a gui for mkisofs? [17:27] anyone using the mce keyboard? [17:27] genii, because i'm not hardcore enough to do this all from the command line, i think [17:27] #ubuntu-tr [17:28] wittyphotons: It's extremely bad form by the way to ask about how to illegally ater a windows iso image from inside linux, while in a linux support channel :) [17:28] youtube videos hanging on Hardy after 4 seconds...was working before udate, videos on bbc.com still work...any help? [17:29] my god firefox crashed again [17:29] genii, it's not really illegal. i mean, i own the original. i'm just trying to add a driver to the installation cd because otherwise i have to use a usb floppy disk drive, because it's windows and it's stupid [17:29] how would i remove all the installed flash plugins from firefox to try a different one? [17:29] firefox locks up. takes cpu to 100% and just sits there to i kill it [17:29] i installed kubuntu-desktop through aptitude and it installed a lot of software. i have three problems now. 1. My network connection applet had disappeared and i used the panel's add applet to add to the system notification area. Now, when I try to configure my eth0 from there it says no such interface. Configuring the interface from System>Administration>Network works fine After every reboot, the dns address gets removed and i have to manually set it [17:29] every time. 2. The quit dialog doesn't have shutdown or reboot. it was there before. 3. The boot splash screen and shutdown screens are kubuntu's. Now i try to remove kubuntu-desktop, the other packages do not get removed. only kubuntu-desktop is remove. [17:29] wittyphotons, please /join #ubuntu-offtopic [17:29] bazhang, uh, k [17:29] dfgas, is flash running every time this happens? [17:30] sorry that went too long [17:30] cant i mount an iso to a thumb drive, and if so, how would i go abouts doing so [17:30] Poprocks, i would imagine so, y? [17:30] graydot: i just installed kubuntu-desktop and have the same problem with the splash screens saying kubunt [17:30] hey, when i use apt-get autoremove it only removes the packages that were installed with the programs i have no longer on computer or? [17:31] dfgas, I've had flash hard-lock my firefox many times, but usually I wait a minute or two and it starts responding again [17:31] hi, my tracker applet disappeared from the panel, I cannot seem to find it anymore in the list, either. [17:31] Housefly7k: is your system notification area showing the network applet? in gnome? [17:31] Poprocks, any way to fix it otherwise? [17:31] yes [17:31] graydot: yes [17:31] hey, when i use apt-get autoremove it only removes the packages that were installed with the programs i have no longer on computer or? [17:31] can you configure the eth0 from that applet? also can you see the shutdown/reboot buttons? [17:31] dfgas, not that I know of :( I've literally seen no discussion of this on the net [17:32] dfgas, but I haven't investigated it in awhile [17:32] Poprocks, k, well thanks for the info, i will look into it. ty [17:32] !puregnome | graydot [17:32] graydot: If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here << http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome >> [17:33] dfgas: np, I guess one thing you could try is to disable flash for awhile and see if it ever hard-locks, but the web is barely usable without flash these days ;) [17:33] guys, when updates occur, that require a restart, on a remote box i use all the time, how can I have that service ( VNC, remote, etc..) running at the login page, rather than 'after' the user logs in ? [17:33] hey, when i use apt-get autoremove it only removes the packages that were installed with the programs i have no longer on computer or? [17:33] graydot, then reinstall the kde apps you want (they can mix and match with gnome no worries) [17:33] can i mount isos on thumb drives? [17:34] thanks bazhang [17:34] graydot: yes for both questions [17:34] i will try that [17:34] hi [17:34] Housefly7k: oh darn [17:34] how can i install my intel graphics card and how edit xorg? [17:34] how do I check to see how much of my hard drive is being used up. I did a single partition for / and then the swap separate [17:34] youtube videos hanging, get stuck after a couple of seconds....any help? [17:35] javatexan; df -h [17:35] hey, when i use apt-get autoremove it only removes the packages that were installed with the programs i have no longer on computer or?

(i've recovery mode - but not many options - no way in) tia === _Milburgr-afk is now known as _Milburgr [17:35] I have already mounted my usb-disk drive... how to check what was mounted? [17:36] Housefly7k: Have you tried installing Gnash? [17:36] hmmm, I have no idea what happened, but somehow mplayer can't give video-output anymore, I only get audio now [17:37] opt1k; man apt-get will give you all the info you need [17:37] <_Milburgr> dromer - i had the same problem last month - reinstalling the gstream codec fixed it for me === remote_ is now known as remote [17:37] hi, if i want to have a dual-boot with win an linux. Whats the best format for the data partition. [17:37] conor: well, do i have to remove what i have now and then install gnash? and is it from synaptics/ [17:37] gftp keeps closing :( [17:37] hi, my tracker applet disappeared from the panel, I cannot seem to find it anymore in the list, either. [17:37] _Milburgr: which one is that? [17:38] PPKuma, probably ntfs since it's supported natively on both OSes [17:38] _Milburgr: gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg - FFmpeg plugin for GStreamer << that one I presume? [17:38] <_Milburgr> dromer: yes [17:38] PPKuma; the data partition is going to be used by both windows and linux? [17:38] <_Milburgr> dromer : actually... i think there was another one [17:38] <_Milburgr> it was 3 or 4 [17:38] bastid_raZor: yep [17:38] hmm, this one isn't even installed atm .. [17:39] Housefly7k: I only got linux yesterday so I am very new, But I dont think you have to remove anything and yes I get it from synaptics [17:39] PPKuma; then joaopinto's idea would be best.. ntfs [17:39] joaopinto: i tough linux had problems with ntfs [17:39] salut tout le [17:39] monde [17:39] PPKuma, not anymore [17:39] oh, ok [17:39] conor: alright, thanks anyway [17:39] j'ai une ami qui a un mega probleme [17:39] thanks :) [17:39] <_Milburgr> all: did anyone else lose any desktop functionality after the update yesterday?

[17:41] peter86, because you already used sudo and the credentials get cached ? [17:41] peter86, and you should not use sudo su, but sudo -i instead [17:41] next login, try sudo su before any sudo command.;] [17:41] hey. how on linux via terminal can you compress a 9GB folder? [17:41] trakinas, joaopinto how to clean cache? [17:41] peter86, exit from the shell ? [17:42] peter86: no idea. i barely use root. [17:42] melol2, tar czvf file.tar.gz folder [17:42] trakinas, joaopinto no... when I exit shell and enter again, typing sudo su I get root without password [17:42] <_Milburgr> dromer: was gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg, gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mpegr and the mpegc [17:42] peter86, are you using ubuntu ? [17:42] joaopinto, sure that will work? so far everytime i try to compress the folder it turns out 2GB [17:42] joaopinto, yes [17:43] exit [17:43] quit [17:43] how do i use my linksys card instead of the internal card? [17:43] _Milburgr: ok [17:43] _Milburgr: lemme check :) [17:43] peter86, erm, are you executing sudo already from a root account ? [17:43] hi help seting up samba? [17:43] melol2: 9GB becomes 2GB?? Thta *is* compression [17:43] _Milburgr: E: Couldn't find package gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mpegr [17:43] <_Milburgr> dromer - just noticed i have a suite of elisa-plugins-bad -good -ugly installed too... [17:43] <_Milburgr> dromer - you using the gui? [17:43] joaopinto, what do you mean from a root account? Im under my peter@peter, X server, gnome, Type sudo su and get root@peter without password [17:44] trakinas, i don't think it is getting the full contents [17:44] peter86, ok, you must have changed the sudoers config for that [17:44] <_Milburgr> dromer: the way i found it was i went to synaptic pkg manager and searched for codec [17:44] did u test it melol? [17:44] _Milburgr: no, don't have one (wm = fluxbox) [17:44] guys, when updates occur, that require a restart, on a remote box i use all the time, how can I have that service ( VNC, remote, etc..) running at the login page, rather than 'after' the user logs in ? [17:44] melol2: why not? decompress it somewhere else [17:44] trakinas, it can be if that data is mostly text files or similar [17:44] Vaportrail123new, i'm trying but it takes a while to download via ftp [17:44] joaopinto, what a mess... is this possible that I switch something wrong? [17:45] wheres the root trash in hardy? (ie my trash is in ~/.local/Trash) [17:45] <_Milburgr> dromer: are you using totem? what kind of media are you trying to play? (wmv/avi?) [17:45] _Milburgr: I'm just using apt, should'n matter [17:45] hi help seting up samba? [17:45] well, it may just be really nicely compressed [17:45] neverblue: add them at boot. dont know by heart, something to do with runserv [17:45] joaopinto, I cant belive I can do such a thing in a linux [17:45] I'm using mplayer, that's what I said, and I'm trying to open an avi [17:45] worked fine until recently [17:45] peter86: reboot your system [17:45] melol: is FAT32 in any way involved? cuz that can cause issues [17:45] DONT DO any sudo command. [17:45] <_Milburgr> dromer: true - just like seeing the list sometimes when i'm looking for answers [17:45] peter86, check your /etc/sudoers [17:45] why prog is needed to open a *.rar under xubuntu [17:45] Vaportrail123new, it's 6,184 swf files and jpg. i doubt it :( [17:45] try getting root...

[17:46] might i suggest the winrar approach of breaking it into smaller 94mb files? [17:46] <_Milburgr> anyone having any info regarding a fix for gnome after yesterday's update please pm me - ty [17:46] opt1k, kill it from the terminal, with pkill process_name, or kill pid [17:46] best way to in stall flash? [17:46] HELP ----> wheres the root trash in hardy? (ie my trash is in ~/.local/Trash) [17:46] n-iCe, search for "jre" [17:46] trakinas, no, it wont cause every time when I get identified the problem will return [17:46] _Milburgr: hmm [17:46] joaopinto thx [17:46] hehe lol thx magnetron( at 2,4 ghz) ;) [17:46] !flash | hab_21 [17:46] hab_21: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [17:46] Vaportrail123new, can i do this while it is compressing? and anything i use must be defaultly installed with linux [17:46] peter86: this is NOT a problem [17:47] anyone else know what could be wrong why mplayer can't play video anymore? [17:47] peter86: you identified yourself already. the system trust in you [17:47] i just installed linux last night, i have no clue lol [17:47] I need some help with installing Ubuntu on my new Asus EEE. I have the alternate version of Hardy. The problem is that it can't detect the Cdrom (cause there is none). How do I solve this? I tried mounting the USB drive under /cdrom and the files show up but then I get an error saying the CD is defected [17:47] trakinas, any person who gona get to my account will get root just typing sudo su - it is a BIG problem! [17:47] also sambe install? [17:47] peter86: it will not. [17:47] trakinas, thats I want to not be identyfied [17:47] google wasn't very helpful either, seems like I'm the only one who has this problem except some guy on the forums but he didn't get it working either [17:47] I have installed vsftp with all the users chrooted to their home-dir. is there a way to make them have a shared folder all can upload to? [17:48] unless you did something wrong, you need to retype pass forany sudo command when you get out of the system. [17:48] gguys, can some one please help me get my linksys wireless card working >< [17:48] apakatt, I am not sure chroot allows to follow symlinks, you could try [17:48] does anyone ever had troubles with metacity not initializating with the gnome? [17:48] joaopinto: I have tried but no success :/ [17:48] trakinas so you think it can happen, is it not a setting with the server, but with the OS? [17:49] gnarf [17:49] apakatt, well, the other option is to do bind mount, that works, but you will need 1 mount per user, it may be overkilling [17:49] Vaportrail123new, i think that takes some restricted drivers [17:49] neverblue: i beg your pardon? [17:49] trakinas, it is the first idea of making root user and normal user. When someone gets user account - he cant have root permisions [17:49] meaning.... [17:49] you can find it somewhere just google ubuntu wireless drivers [17:49] joaopinto: ok, can you point me in the right direction? [17:50] peter86: unless you give it permission typing the sudo/su commands [17:50] negge: you might want to investigate eeexubuntu [17:50] anyone work with scantv/tvtime or any other tv viewer on ubuntu ? [17:50] magnetron how different is that from the normal ubuntu? [17:50] trakinas, but somehow ubuntu creators gives us sudo su command. [17:50] if you dont want to give root perms to peter86, simplyt remove it from sudo group [17:50] i am not getting any channels during scan [17:50] well, i just tried to download the iso for ubuntu 8, but it stop at 30mb and said it was completed. halp! [17:50] apakatt, man mount, look for the bind mount, it basically allows you to mount an existing path into a specific location, on your case you would want to bind mount /shared into /home/user/shared [17:50] and add another user for such task and never use it unless stricted necessary [17:50] magnetron and I want gnome not Xfce [17:50] hello everybody [17:51] trakinas: scroll up, if your missing what we were talking about... [17:51] negge: it's based on xubuntu, thus being more lightweight [17:51] peter86 i have eeexubuntu [17:51] trakinas, ofcours I dont want to give root perms to my account. I need to open terminate connections as root not as peter [17:51] HELP ----> wheres the root trash in hardy? (ie my trash is in ~/.local/Trash) [17:51] magnetron but do you know how to fix the cdrom issue? [17:51] negge: you don't want to run gnome on a eeepc [17:51] i can't enable desktop effects on ubuntu 8.04 what should i do?

(right now im on xubuntu) [17:53] i don't know [17:53] when i tried, it just ended up not working for some reason [17:53] hi [17:53] how can i tell you? [17:53] billenium, apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop [17:53] billenium: apt-get purge ubuntu-desktop [17:53] just creat a symbolic link [17:53] trakinas, what do you mean it not uses su? When you type su command under terminal you will be pleased for password [17:53] joaopinto: it worked! thanks a bunch! [17:53] i just converted from xp [17:53] Claw6 magnetron can you help me? [17:54] katoraster: what videocard do you have? [17:54] I dident think removing ubuntu-desktop removed much of anything [17:54] peter86: but you have no password for root.

[17:54] ATI that's all I know [17:54] Is there a way to know if a package is planned to be updated? If not, Can I ask to the devs? [17:54] Claw6 okay [17:54] you have sudo password for using root [17:54] Of course - i dont think removeing/reinstalling GNOME would acomplish much anyway [17:54] katoraster: find out which ati [17:54] i will query y0 [17:54] trakinas, yes... so what is the idea of su command in ubuntu?

[17:55] now, i must find out *my* problem. hehe! anyone knows how to solve a non starting metacity? [17:55] dr_Willis, that only outputs 2GBs of what i want [17:55] katoraster: do NOT message me [17:55] is there a way to update the update manager? [17:55] please tell me could I replace my 8.04 xorg.conf with old version 7/04 [17:55] without using it? [17:55] i have look there [17:55] peter86: to be used with sudo... [17:55] off course the path need to be set in the .bashrc [17:55] Vaportrail123new: it will update itself when you use it [17:55] and dr_Willis, there is no way that it could have compressed 13,000 files into 2GB [17:55] which package contains routed/gated daemons? regular search of package contents doesn't find those files [17:55] changes between non root users... [17:55] but it didnt [17:55] melol2, what filesystem is the archive on? you can have more then 2 gb in size tar archives [17:56] th83, now im confused [17:56] i tried to use it and it said various files failed [17:56] melol2, tar does not compress. it just archives. [17:56] everything it would do, expect giving you root privileges [17:56] trakinas no, that is a reason of using sudo su, not su :) [17:56] melol2, tar CAN compress with the right options [17:56] dr_Willis, it does if you uze -z :) [17:56] ok, sorry [17:56] i am very new [17:56] dr_Willis, i'm not sure of the filesystem. how ca i tell? [17:56] peter86: sudo su is for getting *root* account [17:56] i am not used to irc at all [17:56] joaopinto, i think technically its calling some other program to do the compression. [17:56] su is for swtiching between users.... [17:56] bye [17:56] trakinas, no IT IS NOT, the proper way is sudo -i [17:57] how to make a new user? [17:57] katoraster: what is your question? [17:57] joaopinto: correct! [17:57] PATH=$PATH:/opt/intel/fc/bin/ [17:57] it started downloading soemthing, after it said that no appropriate driver is installed [17:57] dr_Willis, not really, its using the zlib library, but it is tar doing the compression, not gzip [17:57] joaopinto: my appologises [17:57] just put this in the .bashrc [17:57] root_: sudo adduser [17:57] i think im in xfc [17:57] i need to enable desktop effects [17:57] i guess i am working on it!!

[18:05] * unavailable sudo's to root [18:05] then he doesn't need to know what fs it is either: he cannot mount it. not his business [18:06] joaopinto: the question was: "file" ? and it was from YOU [18:06] stdin, you're just a motherfucker [18:06] wols, the question was not related to mount at all, it was about understanding where he was using a fs type which would be limited to 2GB [18:06] mo_: no router, just directly to the dsl modem?

I have a pretty recent install of 8.04 and it does not use pulseaudio [18:55] BwackNinja: sorry, no.

[18:57] Metalluger: I'd like to disagree [18:57] !offtopic [18:57] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [18:57] hi all! im newbie to linux :) i want to achieve such appearance: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Windows+Vista+%2Bvista+aero+Full+pack?content=70428 (Windows Vista + vista aero full pack). i have already downloaded and unpacked, but what should i do now? :) [18:57] amd [18:58] Metalluger: ATi is *working* on opensourcing their drivers, however they're not open source yet, and their binary drivers still have a lot of problems [18:58] and jockey-gtk only helps with if I wanted to use fglrx [18:58] guys can anyone help me [18:58] Metalluger: Nvidia pwns ATi [18:58] Metalluger: therefore, the only way I see that ATi is better than NVidia is that they've said their GOING to open source most of their driver [18:58] Drk_Guy: the intel drivers are probably the best opensource drivers, so it beats both [18:58] Drk_Guy: Have you seen the new HD4850? Gives NVidia a really good run for their money [18:58] * unavailable found gnome-app-install on google [18:58] is there a way in xbindkeys to bind multiple keys to one event, ive tried everything i can think of and cant get it to work [18:59] IceWewe: Don't think so [18:59] BwackNinja: lol, i'm considering performance in the mix [18:59] ))) [18:59] Poprocks, i have safemode firefox running and it hasn't crashed yet [18:59] Is there any way to stop this from displaying at boot:: br0: Dropping NETIF_F_UFO since no NETIF_F_HW_CSUM feature. [18:59] or fix it [18:59] anyone would help me? [18:59] either would do [18:59] Drk_Guy: oh, it does. The HD4850 forced NVidia to lower the prices on their 9800GTX card to stay competitive... [19:00] i'm trying to figure out why certain sites have a bad lag problem for me in ubuntu (but not in windows), for example www.quakeworld.nu is a pain to scroll... opera manages better than firefox but it's still very noticeable lag [19:00] Drk_Guy: and the HD4850 has twice as many stream units as even the GTX280 does [19:00] dfgas: would it usually have crashed by now? [19:00] IceWewe: Price isn't such a determining factor, i'm taking linux integration and performance on the mix [19:00] Drk_Guy: ah, linux compatibility, then yes, NVidia wins [19:00] * unavailable has no problem with www.quakeworld.nu must be your config [19:00] IceWewe: lol [19:00] unavailable: what config? i tried with a fresh firefox profile and it's the same [19:01] * Drk_Guy uses OpenDNS for browsing [19:01] Drk_Guy: although I hear NVidia's 2D performance sucks on 8xxx cards and newer [19:01] quakeworld loads fine here [19:01] Drk_Guy: makes me happy I stuck with my 7900GTX [19:01] loads fine - yes, scrolls fine - no [19:01] something on your end is causing it.. flash?? [19:01] Poprocks, lately yes [19:01] IceWewe: Idk, i'm stuck with a MSI Nvidia 7300 LE [19:01] :) [19:01] Drk_Guy: integrated? [19:01] last time amd-ati make a progress in drivers [19:01] unavailable: I have the same thing appearing at boot on my desktop. Also whenever I use smbmount on my laptop to mount an NTFS drive on my desktop I get a CFS error and it takes like 20 extra seconds to shutdown [19:01] * unavailable realizes there aint no flash on quakeworld.ru [19:01] unavailable: i can try to block all scripts on the site..

I thought the 7300 was x16 like all the other 7xxx series [19:02] anyone?? [19:02] Drk_Guy: oh... AGP... [19:02] dfgas: dunno then, I guess if you can figure out for sure that it works fine in safe mode, try regular mode again but disable all plugins and extensions and try to enable them one by one until you figure out what's causing it [19:02] guys hoe does it work here. how can i get some help? [19:02] asulutzy lol [19:02] thx [19:02] unavailable: Could you please refrain from using actions for every other message? [19:02] unavailable: But I do get the same message on boot as you :P [19:02] IceWewe: lol, it's because of board, MSI K9N6GM, cheap, but effective [19:02] Poprocks, i removed gcj [19:02] Drk_Guy: really, AGP on a K9?? [19:02] Drk_Guy: AM2? [19:02] IceWewe: WHAT? AGP sucks bigtime [19:02] AM2 [19:02] Poprocks, i think i had both sun and gcj installed [19:03] Drk_Guy: oh, it's PCe 8x... gotcha [19:03] get rid of gcj [19:03] IceWewe: lol [19:03] Drk_Guy: thought you were talking about AGP 8x for a second [19:03] IceWewe: lol, no, this baby can run CoD 4 in a cheap way [19:03] ;) [19:03] But i love it [19:04] Drk_Guy: really, you can play CoD4 on a 7300LE? [19:04] Poprocks, yah i have sunjava 5 installed, i removed that as well and installed sun java 6 [19:04] I built it myself IceWewe [19:04] Drk_Guy: I built mine as well... === ExPress is now known as Guest83658 [19:04] IceWewe: Yeah, LE's got TurboCache and MSI overclocking technology [19:04] http://pastebin.com/d2c294dd1 - that is my sources.list .. I can't seem to install vmware-server [19:05] Drk_Guy: I wouldn't use TurboCache, personally [19:05] Drk_Guy: So you can play it, just not play it all pretty like ;) [19:05] Am I missing a respo, or is there not vmware for hardy yet? [19:05] IceWewe: I mean, it has 256 MB DDR2, but takes 64 MB from RAM and completes 512 MB vRAM [19:05] guys, im trying to download ubuntu 8, the iso, but every time it hits 22mb it says it completed [19:05] Drk_Guy: if you use TurboCache, doesn't it lower the clock of the onboard VRAM to the system RAM speed? [19:05] Monobi there's in vmware site [19:05] IceWewe: Nope [19:05] asulutzy i did find this though [redhat] https://www.redhat.com/archives/rhelv5-list/2008-May/msg00192.html [19:05] would thermal paste or pads be recommended for installing a amd turion x2 tl52 [19:05] IceWewe: I can even run PROSTREET [19:05] Drk_Guy: h-uh... but it would have to wait for data to be fetched from system RAM [19:06] Drk_Guy: don't know what that is [19:06] thanks for ur time, guys :/yo [19:06] Drk_Guy: NFS ProStreet [19:06] lol, it was for IceWewe, sorry Drk_Guy XD [19:06] I made changes to /etc/environment. How can I have them loaded with new terminal sessions? [19:06] unavailable: Hmmm, interesting [19:06] Kuba: having the same problem here [19:06] can some one help me out? cant get the iso for ubuntu 8 to work [19:08] How feasible is it to run dual monitors in ubuntu, one on intel integrated graphics, and one on ATI dedicated graphics? [19:08] dfgas: right well I think the key is that it's an extension or a plugin causing it, so it should just be a process of elimination to fix it now [19:08] hmmmm [19:08] packer: im sure it possible [19:09] slm [19:09] hi [19:10] Poprocks, yah i will try stuff over the next few days. thanks for the help [19:10] i'm out to work now [19:10] dfgas: later [19:11] Packerfan, Vaportrail123new: You can use an onboard output at the same time as an actual graphics card output? That's news to me [19:11] Packerfan: well for a start some motherboards don't support using the onboard card and an AGP card at the same time, but if you already know it works from using that setup in windows I guess that won't apply [19:11] any good downnload links for unbuntu iso? [19:11] on replacing a processor do i apply grease/pads to both the heatsink and processor or just one? [19:11] I'm in Hardy Heron, and sometimes when I open the terminal it goes gray on me... after force-quitting the terminal, the shutdown button in the top right doesn't work, followed by me not being able to use the window manager at all. WTF?! [19:12] asu: im just guessing, i have no real idea except if u were to run two oses at the same time i might work? (dunno) === arashOio is now known as arashO|away [19:12] Vaportrail123new: I don't think that's possible either other than through a VM :P [19:13] i'm using gimp and trying to center some text using guides, any tips? [19:13] vm would do it tho, wouldn't it? [19:13] guys i came like a century ago and no one is helping am i doing something wrong? [19:13] Im using a PCI radeon 9250, sofar I havent really gotten 3d to work, when I do enable desktop effects xorg cpu usage skyrockets 50-75% and I lag severely [19:14] Vaportrail123new: You can boot into a host operating system and then boot a guest from within that with a VM, yes. But I still have never tried to plug a monitor into my onboard video at the same time as I plugin to my PCI-e card. It may be possible, but it sems shaky [19:14] yousif whats ur problem i m new but will try to help u [19:14] devil thats very nice thank you. [19:15] guys, when updates occur, that require a restart, on a remote box i use all the time, how can I have that service ( VNC, remote, etc..) running at the login page, rather than 'after' the user logs in ?

WTF?! [19:15] well, if u have two out-ports, one on card one on mainboard, it should still work to use both, if they are both run by the same card [19:16] in readme they are saying: Run xmkmf; make install install.man . but there is no such file [19:16] Hello , can someone recommend me on good email software for Ubuntu ? (supporting multi-email accounts ) [19:16] Vaportrail123new: One would use ATI drivers say and the other would need Intel, so you would somehow need to use two drivers simultaneously. Having two outputs on one card is a lot different than having 2 outputs, one on your graphics card and one on your motherboard. [19:17] SALIL: evolution, thunderbird [19:17] and i m getting the error: [19:17] bash: Run: command not found [19:17] make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. [19:17] yousif on which destro ur installing it on ubuntu ? [19:17] ew sounds like an old program using old X stuff [19:17] yousif: Why not just do sudo apt-get install xvkbd [19:17] ubuntu 7.10 [19:17] yousif: Is there a reason you need 3.0? [19:18] cause i m getting an older version [19:18] yousif: Is there any reason you need to build the newest from source? [19:18] i need to put some delay after each key stroke [19:18] do what ABSULutzy typed the command in room [19:18] asulutzy back to that NETIF_F_UFO... they say theres a fix (if you lost your connection, and its for 7.10) install libvirt ... it restores the connection but the message is still at boot.. so its not really a fix from my point of view, considering the only problem i have is that message at boot. [19:19] this function is not available in the version i m getting from package manager [19:19] how do I get my video thumbnails back? [19:19] I have only picture thumbnails [19:19] unavailable: Yea, I have no problem with connectivity, I just get that annoying message at boot, and it seems to take a little longer than it used to ;) [19:19] can anyone help me figure out what packages i need to install to be able to compile software on Hardy? [19:19] did u try installing it from synaptic ? [19:19] I'm in Hardy Heron, and sometimes when I open the terminal it goes gray on me... after force-quitting the terminal, the shutdown button in the top right doesn't work, followed by me not being able to use the window manager at all.

What's the best way to compile the driver to make sure it works with the kernel on the install cd? [19:19] yousif did u try installing it from synaptic ? [19:19] yes i did. i m gettin an old version [19:19] yeah, did that, but I'm still getting error messages. [19:19] Cusoon959: compiz? [19:19] whats a good windows emulator 4 ubuntu??

What should he try doing to fix this? http://www.autopano.net/forum/showimage.php?pid=25518&filename=snapshot1.jpg [19:19] devil: installing from synaptic would do the same thing as the command I listed. If the package available in the repositories isn't the version he wants, then he'll need to build it from source [19:19] pen, yeah... :|... what's wrong?

I suppose I should try it now lol. I just remembered I rebooted since the update xD [19:21] spoonydx: What are you compiling? [19:21] Cusoon959: because i have no problem with terminals [19:21] trying to compile libipoddevice [19:22] asulutzy its like you go into "im gonna break it" mode just to be able to fix something [19:22] anyone know how do I get my video thumbnails back? [19:22] Anyone have experience getting a GPS working in hardy? [19:22] am I missing things just for that software, or compiling in general? [19:22] unavailable: lol, I semi-did that when I setup a RAID-1 on an already running Hardy machine remotely... That was fun! [19:22] hi [19:22] rofl [19:22] Thanatos____: try google earth? [19:22] Thanatos____: not sure [19:22] What's the difference between mySQL and SQLite in Amarok...I'm not sure I even fully understand what "SQL" is. [19:23] spoonydx: 0.5.3-3 is in Hardy, but if you need a newer version, you need to make sure that you have the build dependencies installed first. To do that, do: sudo apt-get build-dep libipoddevice0 [19:23] from another box I can see some files on this ubuntu box, but samba isn't installed - what is going on? what is the share type? [19:23] ahhhhh....thanks, I'll give that a shot. [19:23] matthew12 sql = Structured Query Language [19:23] Matthew12: mysql requires a mysql server, but sqlite doesn't need any server [19:23] anybody here help with a boot issue after hardy upgrade? [19:23] !ask | mdave7 [19:23] mdave7: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

What can I uninstall after initinal install with mini.iso [19:24] how to list all drives (cd, hdd) sudo fdisk -l only lists hdd-s [19:24] andycan: mount will list all mounted drives [19:24] Matthew12: if you're not sure, just pick sqlite, it's much lighter and smaller [19:25] fair enough. i've got a load of errors whilst booting ubuntu server on a xen VPS; error codes 530 and a lot of chown: invalid user: `syslog:adm'. also won't boot into a prompt.

[19:25] pen: getting google earth, couldn't hurt [19:26] cuco, your using ubuntu? i no fat32 cant handle things past 3.5gig downloads [19:26] cuco: Really? What file system are you using? ext3? [19:26] Thanatos____: I remember there is GPS option in google earth [19:26] mitchell, umask is an environment setting, not something that you assign to an object like a dir or a file [19:26] With svn, I can use svnserve and assign people usernames and passwords. With bazaar its making me use a ssh account.. and appears that i need to make more unix accounts to give access.. but wont there be permissions problems if i want to give >1 user access to the parent branch with a seperate username and password? [19:26] Thanatos____: not sure it would support the GPS device you have [19:26] yeah, ubuntu and ext3 [19:26] oops wrong channel [19:27] cuco, and what are you downloading in FF thats 4gig? [19:27] Help, a friend of mine booted his kubuntu live cd and this is what he got. He says that he cant press buttons because 'the place where they really are is not the place where they appear to be". What should he try doing to fix this? http://www.autopano.net/forum/showimage.php?pid=25518&filename=snapshot1.jpg [19:27] pen: The way i understand it, ubuntu has drivers for nmea compatible gpses, which i have. so...

[19:28] cuco, i dont think they do -- use transmission, or deluge [19:28] cuco, firefox supports downloads > 4 GB, it is not related to the filesize [19:28] joapinto: so what can i use to create files in a directory with a certain umask? [19:28] Thanatos____: maybe ;}| [19:28] really joao, not mine [19:28] cuco, unless you are using a FAT32 filesystem [19:28] joapinto: that is different from the umask of the system [19:28] cuco: version of firefox? [19:29] yousif yup [19:29] ok [19:29] what';s a good vnc client for ubuntu? [19:30] Hi all! I need help with my sound. I have two soundcards one X-Fi X.Music & a Vortext 2 (old) card.

Please help me. === devil_ is now known as devil_blitz [19:30] 2.0.0.14 also tried last Opera browser [19:30] cuco, well, you can use wget [19:30] cuco: wget http://www.example.com/file.zip [19:31] nikitis: I thought there was one built in... Unless this is something I apt-got and don't remember... Do you have "Terminal Server Client" under Applications->Internet-> [19:31] devil it is still 2.8 [19:31] instead of 3.0 [19:31] anyuanybody here use rhythmbox? it does not seem to be possible to sort playlists.. is this correct? [19:31] will try wget .... have any of u downloaded such a big file ? [19:31] anyone here use gsnes9x i havit installed and working but for some reason i cannot get sound ? [19:31] cuco, with wget yes, plenty of times [19:32] cuco try #linux and #gentoo [19:32] hi all [19:32] could u elaborate a bit DrSlony ? [19:32] yousif then i dont know srry buddy ask ASULutzy [19:32] cuco: The problem may not be on your side. [19:33] devil thank you very much. i will [19:33] somebody can help me about an issue with the b43 driver ? [19:33] cuco: Is it just a single file you are unable to get? Or have you tried with several from several different servers? [19:33] somebody know where is the ati binary driver howto for the dapper release ? [19:33] Ok, but. Do anyone know how I can set a default device for the OSS driver for output then? :) [19:33] different servers, same file [19:34] cuco try #linux because your question is not distro-related. Try #gentoo because although it is not distro related and has nothing to do with gentoo, there are many more experienced users there that might be able to help you figure why your downloads stop at 4gb. [19:34] Bonjour [19:34] anyone know if Eclise 3.3 is going to swiftly enter the apt repository? [19:34] :-D [19:34] release tomorrow [19:35] does anyone know where the abs-guide gets stored when installed by synaptics?

[19:35] check alsamixer [19:36] definitely run alsamixer and turn up the psm and input gain [19:36] th0r: jwatson@ewok:~/workspace$ locate abs-guide [19:36] /usr/share/doc/bash/README.abs-guide [19:36] anyone gsnes9x no sound issues ? anyone use this emulator please ? [19:36] th0r: Probably in /usr/share/doc/abs-guide [19:36] hi [19:36] sorry output gain [19:36] narcoclepsy, tried locate....but I think I just found it....thanks [19:36] narcoclepsy: Heh, I never bother installing Eclipse from repositories, it's a pain in the butt to chmod it so you can actually install plugins. I always just go to eclipse website and download/extract to /home/$USER/ [19:37] has anybody ever seen a whole load of errcode 530's and invalid user errors on boot? i'm coming up blank here. [19:37] ASULutzy: i haven't had any problems with that but... i will note that remark if i run into problems! [19:37] genii you around ? [19:37] mdave7 from ? [19:38] Agent_bob: pretty much everything that's starting up servers [19:38] narcoclepsy: Really? From my experience (this was several months ago at least) I installed eclipse with apt-get, and when I tried to download and install new plugins for Eclipse (such as Hibernate or Apache Derby), it wouldn't work unless I either ran eclipse with sudo (terrible idea) or bothered to change permissions. But why even bother to do that since eclipse requires no install--simply an extraction [19:38] mdave7 you didn't change the name of root did you ? [19:38] for example, when syslog's starting i get chown: invalid user: `syslog:adm' [19:38] Heh, so is there an Intrepid channel? I saw http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/gobuntu/daily/current/source/intrepid-src-1.iso and got excited :P [19:38] nope. i agree it looks like i messed up the passwd file [19:39] ASULutzy or Pici do you have any suggestion for me cause when i m using xvkbd -text "\A\ttest" with version 2.8 sometimes the first letter(s) of test are gone. [19:39] this is after an upgrade running on a xen vps [19:39] mdave7 ok. you don't have either the adm group or the syslog user account [19:39] ASULutzy: coming from Gentoo... if i have a package manager i want it to be smart and do things for me so i can use my computer instead of spending all my time administrating my own machine :-) [19:39] (gentoo = recompile hell and heavy admin, or so at least i found, aside from that its fine...) [19:40] I downloaded googleearth.bin from google. I installed it. It sucks. How do I uninstall it? [19:40] narcoclepsy: And 99/100 I agree with you 100%, installing from package manager is very useful and makes removal much easier. But specifically with Eclipse there's no need to "install" it really is as simple as extracting it, and running the binary [19:40] the wireless network on my gf's computer have gone mad. what can I delete to get rid of all the stored network setting I have entered and get a fresh start? [19:40] narcoclepsy: And so to me, it's a lot more convenient and modular to just put it in /home/$USER/eclipse and it's good to go [19:40] Agent_bob: i'm just checking that now, but it looks like they're both there [19:40] Ayabara: why is your gf running Linux and where can I get one? [19:40] Yeah alsa mixer was what i needed :) thnx [19:40] ASULutzy: if my eclipse install starts borking i will do that :-D [19:41] Thanatos____, delete all the files, i think,.,. if its not installed through apt then deleting them should do the trick [19:41] anybody have issues with very slow resume from suspend ? [19:41] Poprocks: :-D [19:41] mdave7 grep adm /etc/group ;grep syslog /etc passwd # will confirm that [19:41] Bodsda: I know it registered mime types, that won't cause a problem? [19:42] FRA demonstration: http://xintron.se/2008/06/fra-demonstration/ [19:42] Agent_bob: yeah, they're both there. [19:42] guys do you have any suggestion for me cause when i m using xvkbd -text "\A\ttest" with version 2.8 sometimes the first letter(s) of test are gone. [19:42] Poprocks: I installed Ubuntu after cleaning up her XP one time too many :) [19:42] Thanatos____, erm, i dont know what that is so i cant say [19:42] i'm having to manually check files since it wouldn't even throw me a prompt after boot [19:42] mdave7 possable permissions issue on one of those files ?

[19:43] whats a good general usage ssh/sftp/ftp client for ubuntu? [19:43] Ayabara: you must be familiar with the format c: virus removal utility.. .it works every time! [19:43] passwd and group are both 644 [19:43] what panel application does Ubuntu use for monitoring the network? Network Monitor isn't it [19:43] Poprocks: yes. [19:43] hi, somebody knows how to connect to #ubuntu-fr with XChat? [19:43] hlfshell: Filezilla works well if you need a gui [19:43] this is on a xen vps after hardy upgrade, btw. [19:43] Pici: Sorry, but it's an important topic for Swedish people. Won't happen again, just this one time since this is *very* important [19:43] cmako_fr: type:/join #ubuntu-fr [19:43] guys really need this stuff [19:43] gui would be nice- im trying to set it up for non linuxy people so that sounds like itll work great. thanks Pici [19:44] narcoclepsy: sounds like a neat tool :) [19:44] Ayabara: I'll check in a min, my ubuntu machine is stuck in fsck right now [19:44] mdave7 hmmm and the first line of /etc/passwd is root:x:0:0.......? [19:44] Poprocks: great [19:44] or click on this >> #ubuntu-fr [19:44] anyone? [19:44] thanks! [19:44] NetEcho: Network Manager/ [19:45] so is there a chance of solving this problem? [19:45] ASULutzy howcome I can't add it to a panel? [19:45] NetEcho: What specifically are you trying to add to panel? By default Ubuntu should have nm-applet automatically on the top panel [19:45] ASULutzy it got removed [19:45] Pici, thanx but my chip is BCM5906M. is b43-fwcutter worked with that to on hardy? [19:46] nm-applet 0.6.6.... I heard Intrepid wasn't going to have nm .7... That made me sad === docta_v_ is now known as docta_v [19:46] Agent_bob: yup. sorry for the delay in the reply, hypervm is slow as hell. [19:46] root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash to be precise.

[19:47] can desktop efects be used with vmware???????????? [19:47] Ayabara: have you tried deleting the wireless networks by right clicking on the tray icon and going to edit wireless networks? [19:47] ASULutzy any idea? [19:47] fill^ubu, uhh ? DHCP with manual IP ? [19:47] turtlep inside vmware? no [19:47] mdave7 ok. you've stumped me dude. maybe someone else can help you find it. [19:47] y? [19:47] turtlep, no, because vmware does not support video hw 3d [19:47] <^Ocean^> fill^ubu: DHCP Is what sets your IP address [19:47] hello [19:48] thanks anyway. i've googled this to death :-) [19:48] NetEcho: Hmmm, let me see... I can see what you're saying that network monitor isn't the same as network manager [19:48] swhitt --exclude = path/file [19:48] ASULutzy i ve tried your way and it is still not working [19:48] ASULutzy the default application got deleted [19:48] mdave7 if you ask in ##linux someone might know [19:48] joaopinto: yes, you can choose the ip yoursel but gateway, dns, and that stuff is taken care by DHCP [19:48] Jack_Sparrow: can I have it ignore all dotfiles too? [19:48] I'm trying to add it back to the panel [19:48] Poprocks: no. I'll test it now [19:48] Agent_bob: okay, thanks.

The "Network Monitor" in the default "Add to Panel" isn't the same thing [19:49] I have a Biostar mainboard with SATA Hd and CD Rom and can't insataall 8.04 because it will not work with Geforce 8200 chipset any sujustion [19:49] hi, i need gstreamer-dev package for compiling pidgin please help me :-s [19:49] nickrud thanks [19:49] Jack_Sparrow i'd exclude /dev also. [19:50] nickrud, NetEcho, Jack_Sparrow: Oh, you need notification area? heh :-[ [19:50] joaopinto: or in other words, ask for a particular ip when looking for dhcp loans [19:50] Anyone here that is very fimiliar to Wine? Need to get some bloody windows software to work. [19:50] I'm sorta new to Linux and just noticed that deleted files still show when I list the contents of a directory in the terminal. Is this supposed to happen as a way restoring accidental deleted files? If so, how long will they remain like this? [19:50] Olsson21: The people in #winehq are really familiar with Wine [19:50] fill^ubu, you can do that with the regular ubuntu DHCP client just edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [19:50] Mohammad[B] gstreamer0.10-dev [19:50] ShinjinAkage: How did you delete the files? [19:50] Thanks Pici! [19:50] joaopinto: thanks [19:50] ! [19:51] guys just tell me go away if you dont want to help. i mean i ve been waiting here for so long. [19:51] swhitt tar cvpzf backup.tgz --exclude=/backup.tgz --exclude=/DontIncludeMe -- /home/jack or whatever folder you want to do [19:51] fill^ubu, as in, I know you can select what to get, not sure you can request for a specific IP, check it :) [19:51] Pici: I just clicked them and pressed delete to send them to the trash and then empty the trash. [19:51] is correct on Hardy BCM4328 worked just with NdisWarapper?? or worked with B43 to? [19:51] !patience | yousif [19:51] yousif: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [19:51] Jack_Sparrow: thanks much [19:51] ShinjinAkage: Then they should no longer be available in the source folder [19:51] Pici: They have the ~ symbol after them if that means anything. [19:51] swhitt Double check that to be sure [19:52] What is the difference between chroot and root. I have the option of having full root on a dedicated server, but losing software support. Or going full root and being in full control. Presumabaly I need to be full root to update the OS and stuff??? [19:52] Hi, I'm having the problem with Alsa/PulseAudio and Flash and can't find the fix on the forums. [19:52] Jack_Sparrow: using your info to search manpage :) thanks a lot [19:52] yousif: I've never used the application and am not familiar with it at all. You asked how to install it and I offered what advice I could, but again this is ubuntu-support, not specifically insertAppYouBuiltFromSourceHere support. Sorry I can't be more helpful :( [19:52] nickrud, E: Couldn't find package gstreamer0.10-dev [19:52] Hey, i have a promo USB pen, the problem is that it is formatted as 2 devices, a sr1: scsi3-mmc drive: 40x/40x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray, and a normal partition, how can i delete the sr1, gparted cant find it [19:52] GeoffTheFish yes, you want full root. chroot is usually used to isolate an app from the rest of the system, a security measure [19:52] nickrud, my ubuntu in 7.10 [19:52] swhitt np [19:52] GeoffTheFish, chroot has no relation with root, whatever your question about, if you want to do OS upgrades etc, then yes, you need root privileges [19:52] I know this is not the place to ask but I don't really have a lot of choice and I'm panicking. Can someone point me to the right server/channel so that I could find help for custom firmware on my router (specifically OpenWRT)? [19:52] nickrud excellent thanks :) [19:53] Mohammad[B] ah, do apt-cache search gstreamer | grep dev [19:53] ShinjinAkage: Those are backup files created when you were editing the files with gedit, or some other text editor. By default they are hidden files. [19:53] ArrPirate, #openwrt ? [19:53] ArrPirate: maybe openwrt's irc channel? [19:53] does recovery mode have net support? [19:53] drrr [19:53] I didn't know they had a channel here [19:53] Dose any one know how to make a custum kernel 8.04 So it will reconise my Geforce SATA [19:54] andycan not be default, no.

[19:54] forgot about tht [19:54] that [19:54] Randy: Its not something i could tell you on irc.. there are some guides.. google it. [19:54] nickrud: apt-cache pkgnames | grep is also good [19:55] mjfrazer um, don't you need 'search' in that ? [19:55] nickrud: a friend of mine is trying to install ubuntu hardy, but he gets drive not ready when trying to boot up. I read that the new kernel update fixes it. How can he update in recovery console? [19:55] Randy: And be warned.. closed source graphics will break on custom kernel. [19:55] fiXXXerMet, alt-enter ? [19:55] hardy have solution for CHipset BCM4328 wireless, or most use NDISwarapper? [19:55] Okay I was just wondering [19:55] nickrud: apt-cache pkgnames lists _all_ packages so you can grep through the full list [19:55] andycan if you can set him up with a static ip in /etc/network/interfaces , sudo /etc/init.d/networking start should do it [19:55] i need help [19:56] ASULutzy i m really sorry i ll try to solve it again. thanks for everyting. bye :) [19:56] mjfrazer ah [19:56] So what would you recommend so I can see all SATA Drive [19:56] ????

[20:01] mib_92mr51, ok you may have a bad downloaded image you may want to go get another iso image of the live cd and then check md5sums on it before you burn to a cd [20:01] mib_92mr51, have you checked the iso md5sum ? [20:01] Tue Jun 24 16:01:35 ADT 2008 [20:02] I downloaded 4 different ones [20:02] Where is a good room to jones for help making debs under Ubuntu? [20:02] 2 kubuntu and 1 ubuntu [20:02] bosco change the defualt run level or remove gdm/kdm [20:02] mjfrazer, #ubuntu-motu [20:02] mib_92mr51, if you are burning this from a windows machine you may have to download an application to check the md5sums [20:02] 3ku [20:02] joaopinto: thanks! [20:02] date [20:02] Tue Jun 24 16:02:24 ADT 2008 [20:02] bosco_: try removing the symlink to gdm in /etc/rc2.d/ [20:03] Poprocks: I can edit wireless networks, but the list of available ones I normally get when leftclicking the network icon is gone [20:03] Hi how can I get evolution to pgp encrypt messages by default? [20:03] ASULutzy, tnx :) [20:03] maybe im not burning it right.... [20:03] Mohammad[B]: no prob :) [20:03] mib_92mr51, what are you using to burn this cd which application [20:03] Anyone know a workaround for bug in Firefox 3 pertaining to offline [20:03] Poprocks: I'm considering a fresh install on her system [20:03] Nero [20:04] Ayabara: when you say 'enable wireless' is gone - is it just unchecked when you right click, or is it just not there at all [20:04] mib_92mr51, ok what you do is open nero and go into the menus to look for burn cd image [20:04] Poprocks: not there at all [20:04] i did [20:04] Ayabara: but connection information, etc. is? [20:04] then said Burn Bootable Data Disc [20:04] mib_92mr51, something to that effect I dont have windows open here so I cant get to nero right now [20:04] mib_92mr51, no [20:04] what is the best distro? [20:04] mib_92mr51, no bootable data disc [20:04] ah [20:04] mib_92mr51, y ou want to burn a cd image [20:05] nickrud: when he tried configuring static ip/gateway/netmask and then launch ifconfig, it hanged (only help was ctrl+c) [20:05] mib_92mr51, you are not expect to use that burn option, you want "burn image" [20:05] n00bs_r_ppl_too: This channel is for support, if you want to talk about other distros you can join #ubuntu-offtopic [20:05] how do I get it to an image [20:05] mib_92mr51, you already have the image [20:05] it downloads as a rar [20:05] mib_92mr51, the .iso is an image, you need a software to record it, like infrarecorder [20:05] mib_92mr51, just tell nero to burn an image of the downloaded rar [20:05] i did [20:05] >< [20:05] mib_92mr51, uh ? www.ubuntu.com, is is not a .rar, it's a .iso [20:05] mib_92mr51, oh then you downloaded the wrong cd [20:05] mib_92mr51, coz_: Where did you get a .rar? All the official downloads are .isos [20:05] Poprocks: when I leftclick I see "Wired Network" unchecked and greyed out so I can't change it, and "Manual Configuration" [20:05] does anyone know a good GUI FTP client for Gnome (except for FileZilla and gFTP) ? [20:06] mib_92mr51, it should download as an .iso [20:06] remi_, nautilus :) ? [20:06] mib_92mr51: Did the thought ever cross your mind that if you're experiencing this much trouble, and need a walk-thru /just/ to burn an ISO image, maybe linux isn't the best fit for you? [20:06] remi_: You could always use the built in Places -> connect to server :P [20:06] mib_92mr51, let me get you the correct link hold on [20:06] anyone has a final fix or workaround for that ff3 bug in 8.04 with flashplugin-nonfree ? [20:06] mib_92mr51, which part of the world are you located in [20:06] Evil, if my bro was online I would get his help [20:06] EvilDennisR: We try not to be so elitist here. [20:07] Ive got a networking problem. Got a ubuntu box at home, vpn to a windows server at my office. Ifconfig shows an interface, ppp1, with a correctly assigned ip address for my office network, so I assume that the vpn connection is working. However I cant ping any computers on the office network [20:07] mib_92mr51, are you in the US [20:07] yes [20:07] Poprocks: unless you have an idea I think I'm just gonna reinstall on her system [20:07] hi what version of xorg am i running? (hardy) [20:07] hello .. [20:07] I want to have a look at the messages which appears during booting the system(in TTY1). Where is the log? [20:07] How do I find out what my computer is using as its IP address on my LAN? [20:07] HUNTER_byte, dmesg [20:07] */30 * * * * /usr/local/bin/ultrastatsparser.sh .. is there something wrong in this crontab ? .. shouldnt it run every 30th minutes ? [20:07] ArrPirate, ifconfig [20:07] EvilDennisR, mib_92mr51: It's not like any of us are born pc gurus. But mib, you should download the .iso from ubuntu.com, I don't really know how you ended up with a .rar. Once you have the .iso, tell your CD burning application that you want to "Burn a disc image" and point it towards the .iso [20:08] mib_92mr51, go here http://samaritan.ucmerced.edu/ubuntu-releases/cd/8.04/ [20:08] Ayabara: lol, whatever you want to do [20:08] oCLioN, it looks fine [20:08] mib_92mr51, you ant the Desktop CD [20:08] Ayabara: have you tried killing & restarting NetworkManager & NetworkManagerDispatcher [20:08] the_eraser: Xorg -version [20:08] ASULutzy: I understand. I wasn't trying. I was merely pointing out that perhaps its beyond his skill set? [20:08] mib_92mr51, PC (Intel x86) desktop cd [20:09] thx Jester45 [20:09] Hi how can I get evolution to pgp encrypt messages by default? [20:09] <__ryan__> what exactly does pulseaudio do? i have to kill it sometimes for my sound to work [20:09] mib_92mr51, then that should show up on the desktop as a .iso file [20:09] joaopinto: I don't see where that tells me my computer's on '192.168.1.10', for example [20:09] */30 * * * * /usr/local/bin/ultrastatsparser.sh .. is there something wrong in this crontab ? .. shouldnt it run every 30th minutes ?? [20:09] mib_92mr51, then you tell nero to burn an image and direct it to that file [20:09] EvilDennisR: I suppose, but I don't think there are any invalid questions so long as they are ubuntu support related... I mean just because something is very simple for you or me to do doesn't mean it's that way for everything. And I'm certainly no Stallman, there's lots of stuff I don't get either :P [20:10] Poprocks: I have rebooted a dozen times. does that count? [20:10] Aragon, it displays inet addr:your_ip_is_here [20:10] Ayabara: yes [20:10] Poprocks: reinstall then :-). thanks for helping [20:10] mib_92mr51, let me boot into windows and fine the menu in nero for th is hold on for about 5 minutes [20:10] i'll tell you if it works [20:10] i found how to burn it >< [20:11] That seems to be my external IP address... it's like 24.0.0.0 instead of 192.0.0.0 [20:11] ArrPirate: it will say inet addr:192.168.0.110 [20:11] Ayabara: good luck with that [20:11] Jester45: it doesn't say this [20:11] Where can i specify dns configuration? [20:11] replacing that address with what address your network card is using [20:12] andycan: /etc/resolv.conf is for nameservers [20:12] ArrPirate: is the card active? [20:12] Jester45: Seems to be. I'm talking to you using it [20:12] andycan: That what you're looking for ? [20:12] EvilDennisR: yeah [20:12] /join #conky [20:12] oops :P === ExPress is now known as Guest41441 [20:12] andycan: You can add them by hand, or you could right click on the network manager and specify them in there [20:13] hi all, how do I test a multi-part .rar archive using unrar?? [20:13] ArrPirate: well... dont get mad but computer can use 2 more more nics [20:13] or more* [20:13] Jester45: The only 'inet addr:' line for my card shows my external ip address [20:13] Can anybody tell me of a good SVN GUI client? SVN always seems to copy all the files in the repository, and I'm too lazy to go advanced with SVN. [20:13] Thanks. [20:13] then thats the address the card is using [20:13] Jester45: Oh, I wasn't getting mad or being sarcastic. I was being serious. The card seems to be active because I'm using it to connect here. [20:14] So it's bypassing my router altogether then? [20:14] EvilDennisR: Thing is, i cant run normal mode because it hangs before it can load. Im trying to get net working so i can do apt-get upgrade [20:14] mib_92mr51, ok I am in windows now [20:14] mib_92mr51, open neroi [20:14] nero [20:14] ArrPirate: or your router/modem is in bridge mode [20:14] andycan: Ah, I see.. Are you in rescue mode ? [20:14] Ayabara: seems the only way I was able to fully reproduce your problem was to disable roaming mode, but I'm assuming yours is enabled now [20:15] EvilDennisR: Yes [20:15] daemon3: They make lots of plugins for IDE's that I've liked. Subclipse was a cool subversion plugin for the Eclipse IDE. As far as something like TortoiseSVN for Linux, I'm not sure... There's esvn or kdesvn for KDE users... [20:15] mib_92mr51, you still here [20:15] daemon3: Theres esvn, rapidsvn, svnworkbench, and a nautilus script thing (so it integrates with your file manager) called nautilus-script-collection-svn [20:15] Hm. Thanks. [20:15] ArrPirate: i dont know how your network is setup but that address is the address of the network card... [20:16] EvilDennisR: ifconfig hangs, ive specified the addresses in /etc/network/interfaces and then done /etc/init.d/networking start but nothing, it doesnt ping (not even gateway) it says network unreachable [20:16] Jester45: I have my cable modem going to my router and my computer is hooked to my router [20:16] Poprocks: not sure, since the option to enable/disable is gone.. [20:17] mib_92mr51, if you are here let me know I dont want to stay in windows too long :) [20:17] Ayabara: huh, the one in the system tray or the one in system -> administration -> network? [20:18] how do i get open office to recognize a manually installed font? in the past i would open nautilus as root and put the font folder in /usr/share/fonts that doesn't seem to do the trick in 8.04 [20:18] Poprocks: the one in the system tray. reinstalling now anyway, so we'll see if that fixes it [20:18] how do you check what version of a module your kernel's using? [20:18] has anyone successfully ported Contacts, Calendar and Tasks from Outlook 2003 to Evolution on Ubuntu? [20:19] Ayabara: ok... what I meant though was the one in system->admin... disabling wireless roaming mode in there gave me the same problem you described [20:19] but if you're reinstalling the whole OS now, I guess that should, incidentally, fix it [20:19] which music player supports winamp DSP plugins? I have tried rythmbox and amarok but no support for winamp plugins [20:19] mib_92mr51, here??? [20:19] rexnubulr: xmms? [20:19] I need some reverb etc. [20:19] I forget, how do I mount an ISO image using commandline? [20:19] I am installing XMMS now but I am unsure if it supports dem [20:19] !iso [20:19] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [20:20] Poprocks: ok [20:20] rexnubulr, try audacious [20:20] airstrikeivanov: ^^ [20:20] airstrikeivanov, sudo mount -o loop /path/to/iso /location/path [20:20] thanks [20:20] np [20:20] hi, is it possible to watch xvid files in ubuntu?

You might try booting that instead [20:29] Flannel when I tried the hardy alternate CD it just complained about the CD-ROM and there seemed to be no way to fix it so I thought using 7.10 would help [20:29] what a bullshit, Firefox 3 does not show any mimetypes, anyone resolved that !?

[20:36] I am not liking this effects thing for linux, it seems very difficult to get any kind of basic effect. other than the realtek AC chipset reverb. [20:36] Slart:did you have any issues ata ll with ubuntu 64 bit ? [20:36] ASULutzy, strange thing is this is the default ubuntu kernel. I mean I can start from the live cd and even activate visual effects - [20:36] you'd think the demand would be big [20:36] eMaX_: So if running the command I gave didn't work... Hmmm... Basically I can't really give good advice where to start... You'll certainly want to install the correct graphics drivers, maybe reinstall compiz... [20:36] Does anyone know a good replacement for ATITOOLS in linux? [20:37] hi I am trying to install via a .deb file a program called Anki. I downloaded it from here: http://ichi2.net/anki/download/index.html When I try to install it I get a message that says "Error Dependency is not satisfiable: python-sqlalchemy". I looked in my Synaptic and that package was there. I installed it and tried the .deb file once more. Again it produces the same error. Any ideas on how to get past this? [20:37] eMaX_: You said you already had ubuntu installed on this laptop and then you moved it from Laptop A to Laptop B, right?

If they weren't the same, I'm surprised it works as well it does... Go linux... Anyway if they have different graphics cards you'll need to install the correct drivers for the new laptop, maybe reinstall compiz... But honestly I would consider just backing up home and reinstalling, who knows :P [20:38] negge, the summary of the install is pretty much this: You download three files on to the stick (one of which is the iso, one is a kernel image and one is a ram disk image) then use syslinux to make it bootable.

[20:41] ASULutzy, I apt-get removed compiz and then the visual effects are still working.

[21:51] macpo3: when you use the scroll wheel sometimes it locks up and goes gray right? [21:51] xavura it's annoying isn't it [21:51] macpo3, it's a feature of compiz. it means a lot of cpu time is going to firefox, and that it is unresponsive [21:52] Seriously? [21:52] say^:? [21:52] It happens when I have one tab open. [21:52] unavailable Are you running ubuntu or one of the many versions based on ubuntu.

[21:53] macpo3: it happens to me on a tab using nothing, if I use my scroll wheel [21:53] macpo3, try installing the sun jdk. it is leaner than the other options. [21:53] macpo3, Scunizi: It ONLY happens when I use the scroll wheel on my mouse, the grey scale [21:53] <^Ocean^> Jack_Sparrow, right now the only thing in my sources.list is "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main universe restricted multiverse" [21:53] ^Ocean^ then that is wrong [21:53] chosig: not sure... never had that issue and haven't heard of anyone else having it either.

[21:56] unavailable a couple of the problems you have posed are the same as people using other released based on ubuntu [21:56] ok [21:56] <^Ocean^> Jack_Sparrow, Is there a way too reset the sources.list too a default ? [21:56] does something like irc exist, but with sound ? (maybe similar to teamspeak or so ?) [21:57] Jack_Sparrow so how can i change the number of lines that terminal remembers? [21:57] eraldo im pretty sure ventrilo has a linux version? [21:57] Jack_Sparrow: http://pastebin.org/45954 [21:57] like when i scroll up, it cuts off at a certian number of lines of output... i want to see the full output not just the last half or so [21:57] anyone dealing with the Ruby 1.8 vulnerability?

[21:59] <^Ocean^> jack-desktop, i ran Synaptic , and it reset my sources.list too Gutsy [21:59] it was actually an answer to someone else asking about it.. i have no need for it :( [21:59] Jack_sparrow ?? [21:59] ^Ocean^ Pastebin your current sources list [21:59] tomaspg, I think the stick should be empty at that stage [21:59] hi, im having a problem with Ventrilo.. im running it off the windows partition, it starts up fine, i can hear whats being said but i cant use the PTT key, id be grateful for any help :) [21:59] eraldo oh, you mean like that.. i thought you ment just to talk to your friends.. dont think theres a largescale voice chat software [22:00] Jack_Sparrow: ok after I remove them what do I do?

(inviting an irc chat member to have a voice conversation,... something like that.. so without the use of another program) [22:01] unavailable I am not wrong in this case.. [22:01] _saw: I think so, but are you sure the text is not meaningful? [22:02] MyNickIsNick: sudo apt-get upgrade.. sudo apt-get distupgrade [22:02] Jack_sparrow you 100% about that? [22:02] Hello guys [22:02] MyNickIsNick what were you trying to do when you got the error before.. having used the debian repos, I may not be able to untangle that for you [22:02] How do I change the default resolution in X?

[22:06] Scunizi: I can't find impulse page... hence there are so many meanings [22:07] starbucks: Compiz or Beryl sections i believe [22:07] eraldo: what's "impulse page" [22:07] I usually have better luck in the Beryl section. [22:07] Alright thankyou [22:07] so when i was using Gutsy my ntfs drives would automatically mount on boot, now with hardy they are seen but dont mount automatically so stuff that was auto starting from those drives now cant, but if i click the drive it opens right up [22:07] eraldo: impulse wasnt an answer :) .. i'm impulse :( [22:07] how can i fix that so those drives come right up [22:07] metalpres edit your fstab... [22:07] /etc/fstab [22:08] Scunizi: "[23:04:51] < Scunizi> eraldo: impulse there is." ..the homepage of that software [22:08] !fstab [22:08] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [22:08] Oh and two things...How do I make a program start at well...startup. And how do I make it so firefox starts in online mode automatically without me manually having to change it each time? [22:08] what do i put in there? just change a line? [22:08] <^Ocean^> Jack_Sparrow, Okay I changed my sources list too that one, And no differance, they all still fail. [22:08] eraldo: that was an answer to both you and impulse about the availability to Gizmo for ubuntu.. the answer "there is" [22:08] metalpres, make a backup before you change it ;) [22:09] ^Ocean^ did you sudo apt-get update first [22:09] <^Ocean^> Jack_Sparrow, Yuppers [22:09] ^Ocean^, when in doubt, try rebooting -- some changes don't take effect until you do [22:09] eraldo: unless I was speaking like yoda.. in which case I would understand your confusion [22:09] Scunizi: oups sorry misunderstood that [22:09] starbucks: For startup programs, it's under System -> Preferences -> Sessions [22:09] my drives are not listed in fstab though, only my main drive and my burner, so something else must be mounting them... [22:09] Not sure about the firefox offline mode though [22:09] <^Ocean^> spoonman, I have tryed rebooting as well [22:10] HybridZero: Alright thanks...and then theres the stupid firefox program... [22:10] if i had them mount in fstab wont that cause the drive to be mounted twice? [22:10] Jack_Sparrow so what makes you think that i do not have a true ubuntu distro? [22:10] MetaBot: maybe a mount-script, but static mounts are listed in fstab [22:10] how do I change real media or video tags? [22:10] like the artist [22:10] metalpres: maybe a mount-script, but static mounts are listed in fstab [22:10] lost network-manager and trying to install it from dpkg. but it reports that a dependencyis missing - libnl1-pre6. there is no such package, it is replaced by libnl1, which i have. so, what next? [22:10] unavailable I dont care to discuss it.. as it is ot in here. [22:11] edj, have you tried installing from synaptic? [22:11] metalpres, you should read http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html [22:11] i never did anything to get the drives working, they just worked right away on a fresh hardy install, so its something either standard to ubuntu or gnome [22:11] spoonman: no network connection. [22:11] Jack_Sparrow no it really isnt because if i downloaded a non official distro from ubuntu.com I would like to know about it so i can report it. [22:11] i have no problem adding it to fstab, but how would i remove whatever is mounting them currently so i dont have 2 copies of each [22:12] is anyone any good with Vent under Wine? [22:12] Pxrboy /join #winehq [22:12] ah ok [22:12] jack_sparrow if you can give me a command to type in terminal to verify that i do have an official distro, [22:13] metalpres: every drive that is mounted while booting IS in fstab, unless you've changed something. So no duplicate mounts will take place if you didn't do anything else and just change your fstab [22:13] cat /proc/version [22:13] unavailable lsb_release -a is one to check === arashO is now known as arashubuntu [22:13] how do I change real media or video tags?
