[00:11] Nevermind: you dont need to use caps [00:11] Nevermind: you don't need to ask every 30 seconds [00:11] tripps: okay, can you find an ATI menu item in the system ->administration menu? [00:12] tripps: don't use ubuntu to configure your display anymore [00:12] not 30seconds - 1 minute ))) [00:12] DigitallyCrazy, nope [00:12] tripps: okay... give me a minute...

[00:12] ..them [00:12] i need help installing the svn version of cheese [00:12] anyone help.. it seems the documentation can't help me.. i have 2 harddisk.. i want to dual boot the, [00:12] Elijah: sudo aptitude install gparted [00:12] cifs [00:13] Elijah, i've used gparted and it worked for me.... unfortunatelly i don't know any other gui for a partition manager [00:13] how long should running updmap-sys take? [00:13] should i use it instead [00:13] yup, if you want read-write access [00:13] Elijah, or just use gparted from the live cd [00:13] can anyone teach me to understand this root (hd0,0) [00:13] when i try to install cheese from the trunk (svn) i get an error that i cant fix [00:13] i installed it, do i run from terminal [00:13] the nounix option helps with older win98 shares with no access control [00:13] and how do i arrange these parameters when trying to dual boot my other harddisk /dev/sdb5 [00:14] Elijah: It should be under the menus, don't remember exactly where [00:14] can you help me set it up or a link to a tutorial [00:14] Elijah, i think it's not installed by default to prevent user to do something wrong.... but it is on the Gnome menus in the liveCD [00:14] Elijah, just sudo gparted [00:14] Let me dig it up [00:14] and how do i arrange these parameters when trying to dual boot my other harddisk /dev/sdb5 with (hd0,0) [00:14] Elijah, you may press ALT+F2 and type it [00:14] is there a irc room for cheese (or gnome in general) [00:15] got it [00:15] i dunno, windows has one so i just figured ubuntu would, by default [00:15] Elijah, i dont know if you need to be root/fakeroot to use it [00:15] tripps: ahhh, yuck [00:15] i mean who wouldn't want a partition manager [00:15] DigitallyCrazy, ? [00:15] Does the XV output has a bug with screwing up colors? [00:15] akuma5, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=12306 [00:15] tripps: apparently some other users have had this problem [00:16] ill be darned though, i have 30 GB unused space in a unallocated part of the disk [00:16] Elijah, if you're smart enough to use one without stuffing up your system then your smart enough to find out how to install it. [00:16] tripps: and they had to uninstall xserv-xgl and compiz before getting it to work [00:16] thanx [00:16] DigitallyCrazy, ugh [00:16] MeRodent, i guess thats a good point [00:16] tripps: yeah [00:16] DigitallyCrazy, xgl is not installed [00:16] DigitallyCrazy, BTW [00:16] Elijah, as ubuntu is a distro focused on the end user, i guess they meant to prevent them to use gparted incorrectelly [00:16] my rootkit is using that, just ignore it [00:16] tripps: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-765565.html [00:16] fanatixx, fair enough [00:16] now what is the linux-swap for [00:16] can someone help me install ndiswrapper on hardy heron? [00:17] Now, anyone knows how I can install the libdvdread dev packages using apt-get? [00:17] how to uninstall a tgz pak [00:17] i cant seem to make it work from Add/Remove Programs [00:17] can sudo execute with other users instead of root? [00:17] Elijah, it is used for the swap memory, the virtual memory on your hard disk [00:17] does any1 know how to fix this: Fn+F7 and Fn+F8 doesnt work to control the BRIGHTNESS OF MY LAPTOP'S SCREEN +applet doesnt work too (laptop - HP G700) (i will not spam... dont kick, ok?) [00:17] kinda like windows paging file? [00:17] Nevermind: you don't need to use CAPS LOCK, please stop [00:18] Elijah, exactly [00:18] openlinux, I believe you can run sudo su .... I am not sure. i am a bit new to this way of doing things [00:18] DigitallyCrazy, how do I find out what driver is loaded? [00:18] it's 1.39 GB so thats what i am guessing [00:18] fanatixx, thanks [00:18] Brandano: no, thats not recommeneded [00:18] can someone help me install ndiswrapper on hardy heron? or point me to a tutorial [00:18] DigitallyCrazy, I mean compiz certainly isn't running right now and I don't use XGL [00:18] openlinux: sudo exectues "super use privileges" [00:18] Elijah, no problems! glad to help you [00:18] fanatixx, can i adjust that or is that determined on install? [00:18] what should i use to run comands as another user? [00:18] openlinux: su -c ? [00:18] chouaiiiib, a .tgz (.tar.gz) file is a compressed archive -- if you installed something that was in such an archive, then you must look at the INSTALL README file within it to see how to uninstall the package -- you might also want to see the author/vendor's documentation/website [00:19] tripps: you checked in System Monitor? [00:19] um... help? [00:19] Elijah, you may determinate it on the install process... i dont know if you may change it after that... i think someone else in here could tell you more about it [00:19] openlinux: you can specify other uses in the sudoers file [00:19] kramer3d, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [00:19] DigitallyCrazy, ps axuw | grep compiz shows nothing [00:19] openlinux: eg: instead of root ALL:ALL say "jon ALL:ALL" [00:20] thought sudoers file is only for using sudo for root. su is something different? [00:20] openlinux: that will allow you to execute things as jon [00:20] openlinux, sudo -u otheruser command [00:20] unop the pak is python2.5 i want to use python2.4 [00:20] unop: -u good spot [00:20] DigitallyCrazy, I'm pretty sure it's running mesa VGA mode right now. Is there a command? [00:20] sudoers file = for giving people access to sudo [00:20] :| [00:20] sudo is a very flexiable system. You can set up a lot of things with it. :) [00:20] tripps: i haven't heard of one... [00:20] sweet! [00:20] chouaiiiib, so you are saying you installed python from source ? [00:20] tripps: but I haven't had to get this deep into stuff [00:21] tripps: envyng has worked straight from the box for me multiple times [00:21] tripps: the only confusion I've had is when people have conflicts with other drivers [00:21] no i want to remove python2.5 [00:21] DigitallyCrazy, I've found managing graphics drivers/resolutions on ubuntu a royal pain in the ass. it takes many iterations to get anything to "stick" I've found [00:21] tripps: or forgot to remove an old one when upgrading [00:21] As I said, I am still getting used to it. It's not like you are really meant to run everything from the command line anyway [00:21] chouaiiiib, but how did you install python2.5 ?? [00:21] yes [00:21] how [00:21] ? [00:22] Elijah, i think that if you boot with the liveCD you may change it without any problem, but it's something to averiguate.... [00:22] does any1 know how to fix this: Fn+F7 and Fn+F8 doesnt work to control the brightness of my laptop screen +applet doesnt work too (laptop - HP G700) [00:22] chouaiiiib: that likely will break some things. Are you sure that modifying the python-minimal package won't accomplish what you want? [00:22] tripps: have you looked at your xorg.conf file? [00:23] chouaiiiib, did you use ./configure; make; make install to install python 2.5? [00:23] fanatixx, so is it already installed on live cd or in the live menu? [00:23] DigitallyCrazy, ok so I am using envyng to uninstall again, confirm no restricted drivers are in use, uninstall compiz* then start from scratch? [00:23] the drivers (.inf) files are windows driver right? [00:23] hi [00:23] chouaiiiib: (python-minimal is generated from the python-defaults source package) [00:23] any good IRC software for Ubuntu? I`m on chatzilla right now [00:23] I have already install 2.5 and I want to uninstall him [00:23] tripps: that's what that forum said [00:23] kramer3d, should be. [00:23] crimsun, hold on, he mentioned something about using a .tgz file [00:23] tripps: I tried this once and ended up getting pissed and reformatting [00:23] I think you can have several versions of python running at the same time, with a few tweaks. If you have a single application that requires a lower version you might as well run it on its own python [00:23] unop: ok [00:24] tripps: but I had that option because it was a new install === realityiswhere is now known as realityiswhere|a [00:24] Elijah, gparted is installed in the Ubuntu LiveCD, but when you install the Ubuntu on your PC, by default gparted is not installed [00:24] DigitallyCrazy, yup - xorg shows vesa drivers [00:24] OmiKr0n: I prefer XChat [00:24] chouaiiiib, see, if you installed python from a source package, then you need to uninstall it according to the instructions in the source .. otherwise just do this. sudo aptitude install python2.4 [00:24] tripps: okay [00:24] tripps: i don't think it's a driver problem [00:24] WebcamWonder: thanks [00:24] tripps: it's probably xorg.conf weirdness like always [00:24] tripps: is there a backup there? === theseus is now known as neophyte [00:24] tripps: like, I have xorg.conf.backup [00:25] The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.

[00:26] tripps: check those out... at this point, you have nothing to lose by trying those out [00:27] Elijah: Look at you private chat... I think I can help...

[00:38] tripps: so I have nvidia, and maybe this will help... [00:38] ksoviero: best thing to do is log a bug against cheese so the ubuntu packages will pick it up and repackge/update it for you [00:38] ksoviero, any luck so far ? [00:38] DigitallyCrazy, I don't see why the xorg.conf file isn't "taking" though [00:39] tripps: type in ati and hit tab a couple times to see what ubuntu pulls up [00:39] OmiKoRn, what does the arch utility do? [00:39] hi guys, runnign in some nvidia dual head setup problems here [00:39] tripps: nvidia comes with two configuration packages [00:39] OmiKoRn, on red hat?

Perhaps you need to adjust your ACLOCAL_FLAGS? [00:40] DigitallyCrazy, it's not even trying to load the driver though that's the problem [00:40] it's similar to uname -m [00:40] Or is there a way to reinstall all the mouse and keyboard drivers pertaining to the Xwindows stuff?

THe other one is just CRT-0 with only a resolution of 640*480 [00:44] Brandano: I think there are sound themes on gnome-look.org [00:45] thanks [00:45] tripps: you have to run sudo aticonfig --initial if you want it to change the xorg.conf file [00:45] Brandano, also try ubuntu-art.org [00:45] ackii_3aya: the method exposed in the url you gave is not the standard way to install ubuntu on a desktop, just install ubuntu/xubuntu with a standard livecd [00:46] legend2440, did that. "found fglrx section. nothing to do. terminated" [00:46] tripps: oh ok [00:46] I am curious if someone has a minute to help me with program launching.

X is not using it though. that's what I don't get [00:47] bloodrock: had a look at it earlier. Got a couple of themes too, but the manual install seems a bit clumsy. I am not really fazed by it, but the average user may be ( at least the average users I know) === Daisuke-Ido is now known as Daisuke_Ido [00:47] jerome_, what is the menu entry actually launching? gksudo nautilus ?

[00:50] No Im not quite sure what that is [00:51] terminal > directory > chmod +x filename [00:51] ackii_3aya: well, in the example, tftp-hpa is just an example, any tftp server will do. And I suggest you read (a lot) about it before you go. [00:51] jerome, at terminal, cd to the directory, the try sudo chmod +x YOURPROGRAMNAME [00:52] how do I change window decorator? [00:53] i can't find that applet next to the watch [00:53] where you could do this [00:53] BruceD, chmod did not work [00:53] jerome, you can even try to check the executable if you start nautilus in terminal with sudo before it [00:53] it's the decorator manager [00:53] wheres it? [00:53] hi what are some other display managers [00:53] for ubuntu [00:54] besides kde [00:54] BruceD, it tells me the program is not installed [00:55] All I did was extract it and am running it by double clicking the program === realityiswhere|a is now known as realityiswhere [00:56] how do i use this command sudo mkdir /mount/my_share [00:56] akuma5, at a terminal [00:56] akuma5, enter that command and press RETURN when ready to execute it === platyhelminth_ is now known as platyhelminth [00:57] jerome, i was checking a few things, kinda stumped [00:57] i know that i mean its not working for me [00:57] As am I :S [00:57] jerome_: frets on fire is in synaptic. you can install it from there [00:57] jerome, can you run it at terminal if you cd to the directory, then type: sudo filename ? [00:57] legend2440: I needed the older version to allow a mod to work [00:58] akuma5, that command returns nothing if it completed successfully -- that command creates a directory for you - check to see if it was created [00:58] how do i cofig that command for my cpu [00:58] akuma5, what do you mean? [00:58] BruceD, no I cannot [00:59] Ubuntu thinks it's not installed because basically it's running as a stand alone [00:59] i keep geting mkdir: cannot create directory `/mount/my_share': No such file or directory [00:59] i tryed sda1 instead of mount and it still didnt work [00:59] akuma5, well, ok - you have to have some experience understanding this error - it means that the directory /mount does not exist -- try using /media instead [00:59] jerome_: try ./fretsonfire or whatever the name is or sudo ./fretsonfire [01:00] oh [01:00] akuma5, sudo mkdir -v /media/my_share [01:00] akuma5, or try /mnt/my-share [01:00] fusion-icon!

[01:21] MachinTrucChose, it might look the same, but let's not take that chance shall we ? :) [01:22] jc__: i don't have an answer, but out of curiosity, why do you not want ubuntu to update the package [01:22] Yup; that doesn't work.

[01:25] pls help me: how can I use WIFI with another wm (for ex. with dwm?). when I start with gnome, it handles it automatically finds the availabe networks, and autoconnects is its possible, but I dunno how to do it under dwm. [01:25] unop: once I hold a package, should the "update manager" stop showing them? [01:25] qkacz: use iwconfig [01:26] Fryguy--, since you're here.. i asked earlier & no one could help but would you by any chance know of a webcam program to capture video other than cheese? it keeps freezing when i try to capture video [01:26] rand0m: no [01:26] Fryguy--: thanks alot, that's exactly what i was looking for, specifically though i'd like to get something software-less so that i could cook up my own solution [01:26] jc__, that's the idea -- but it _could_ get upgraded (and thus unheld) if someother packages requires a newer version installed as a result of a dependency [01:26] unop: it removed -17 which is the kernel I use. Will editing menu.lst and replacing -17 with -19 (now that it's reinstalled) allow me to boot the OS? [01:26] Fryguy--: thx [01:26] Ademan: i'd really just recommend using squeezebox. it's pretty much a perfect execution of a wireless streaming music player [01:27] MachinTrucChose, you shouldn't ever need to edit the menu.lst file -- it should all be done automatically i.e. via the command i just gave you [01:27] Ademan: also check out www.popcornhour.com if you need surround and media playback besides music [01:27] Ademan: not as good for music in my opinion, but extra functionality is nice (I own both, 1 for music, 1 for movies) [01:27] awesome Fryguy-- thanks for the links [01:27] unop: hmm ok, does it take a while for that to happen, because the update manager is still showing it as needing updating (I ran the command you told me) [01:27] unop: you're right, it prompted me for that. I was just planning ahead in case it rebooted my computer. :) I told it "use the package maintainer's version". [01:27] MachinTrucChose, and it's always a good idea to have the older kernels installed -- just incase you run into serious problems with a new one [01:28] jc__: run sudo apt-get update manually [01:28] MachinTrucChose, so i suggest you install 24-17 now, before rebooting [01:28] anyone [01:28] hey i'm running steam under wine, but when i go to play CS and the MotD and help text aren't showing up, anyone have asimilar problem and know how to fix it? [01:28] unop: ok, menu.lst now has all the kernels listed, from 16 to 19 [01:28] speaking of old kernels... i need to get around to compiling a new kernel from scratch :( [01:28] and anyone help [01:28] when I frist inserted the Ubuntu-Stuido CD I got a popup asking me if I want to install the metapackage etc... I closed that popup because I wanted to do something else before... now that window does not pop up anymore ?! [01:28] !ask | prada [01:28] prada: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [01:28] i did [01:28] MachinTrucChose, ok, keep them for now -- you can remove 16 later -- but keep 17 and 19 [01:29] Fryguy--: done, and its still being shown on the list [01:29] i dont have sound on my computer [01:29] unop: got it. Reboot time? [01:29] prada: all you said was "i do not have sound on my computer" you need to give us an error message or something descriptive before we can help you [01:29] good night [01:29] :d [01:29] MachinTrucChose, reboot now (into 2.6.24-19) and reinstall those packages that were removed [01:29] ? [01:29] MachinTrucChose, aye [01:29] prada: turn up the volume [01:29] unop: thanks. See you later, hopefully. [01:29] apparently my driver is not installed right [01:29] Hi all, when I plug in a sd-card into my gateway laptop it doesn't mount. when I run "pccardctl status" it is listed. I got this running under Gutsy, but haven't been able to get it working under Hardy. [01:30] phaero, did you try rebooting/ [01:30] prada: what driver [01:30] sound card? [01:30] prada: driver [01:30] prada: then install it "right" [01:30] i would think ? [01:31] its obvious you guys do not have a clue [01:31] lol [01:31] nope its like a mmc card for camaras. [01:31] prada: i have plenty of clues, i'm asking you questions, please answer them [01:31] prada: would you like your money back? [01:31] lol [01:31] danc3: well played [01:32] unop: I'm back....on my Windows laptop. I get "error 17: unable to mount selected partition". It's like this for all kernel options, as well as memorytest [01:32] how can i answer when i don't even know, myself.........danc3 i bet you are a real fat dork..now stop interrupting [01:33] prada: what card then [01:33] uhmm [01:33] prada: who's clueless, again? [01:33] when I frist inserted the Ubuntu-Stuido CD I got a popup asking me if I want to install the metapackage etc... I closed that popup because I wanted to do something else before... now that window does not pop up anymore ?! [01:33] let me look [01:33] shutup fatty [01:33] danc3: you. Either activately participate in helping or stop berating people [01:33] If I run from the windows partition then the sd-card reader works. any ideas? [01:33] lol [01:34] pharo, did you try rebooting cd [01:34] Fryguy--: unop: OK I just found that there is a lock version in synaptec that does what I want it to do [01:35] I have a PCI sound blaster Xtreme Fidelity [01:35] bloodrock: I tryed remounting cd... relogging and rebooting... [01:35] i just found these installation instructions for downloading cinelerra: http://cvs.cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#hardy it specifies x86, how do i find out if this will work with my hardware (not keen on downloading stuff that might not work with my hardware) [01:35] Fryguy--: I got an error saying I'm missing a dev package but it's not showing in ubuntu's package manager, how would I go about finding it? [01:35] libc development package. [01:35] prada: open up a terminal and type "aplay /dev/random" [01:35] bloodrock: I have no idea anymore what to try else ! [01:35] prada: what happens [01:35] Evenin' all [01:35] Blackthorn: which one [01:36] Blackthorn: use apt-cache search to find packages [01:36] anyone messed with getting TV out to work on ATI? [01:36] me [01:36] k [01:36] prada: it's likely just muted... open 'alsamixer' in a terminal and unmute things. [01:36] bloodrock: i beg you help me find a trace... why it does not pop up anymore [01:36] MachinTruc, was that the machine you installed the new kernel on? [01:36] and actually a sound card on my motherboard....ok fryguy..i'm doing that now [01:36] danc3: actually it's likely the sound card doesn't work at all, xfi's have some known problems in ubuntu [01:37] How can i run a program in wine under sudo? [01:37] prada: you have 2 sound cards? [01:37] phish: 'sudo wine programname' [01:37] unop: no, that's the desktop. it's not booting anymre, so I'm usign a 2nd computer to talk to you [01:37] the blind leading the blind..... [01:37] pharo, was it part of the install or what [01:37] unop: I think my 2 hard drives confused grub. I'm googling a solution. [01:37] as much as this is the main ubuntu room, and Gnome is the default window manager for it - can you guys at all support using other window managers ? [01:37] MachinTruc, error 17 means grub finds the intended boot partition but does not understand the file system -- which means grub is possibly looking at your windows partition there [01:37] Fryguy--: Tells me that sudo doesn't own the file which is really weird :/ [01:37] rand0m: i've used a few dozen window managers in my past [01:38] phish: dunno then, sorry. i don't use sudo [01:38] how I see someone on my sistem ? i wan a see my friend on watch i got the info [01:38] MachinTruc, i suggest you use a live CD or something to boot up and repair grub -- have a look at the grub wiki for a howto .. [01:38] !grub | MachinTruc [01:38] MachinTruc: 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 [01:38] god, somebody just spammed my pm with a paste [01:38] i m having issues with watch, upon typing watch ttypts/1 doesnt work [01:38] !pastebin | prada [01:38] prada: 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) [01:38] from a fresh Ubuntu install and update, Amarok cannot autodetect my ipod. dcop kded mediamanager fullList results in call failed. I don't have all of KDE installed yet. Am I missing a package? [01:38] this line is in the instructions to add a repository to my sources list: "for all x86 (full working on 32 and 64 bits)" does this mean that it will work for all systems? [01:39] unop: last time I did that, Grub ended up istalling itself on the Windows HDD. I sort of want the two HDDs separate: one for Windows, one for Linux. To make sure I run into no problems if I remove one. [01:39] bloodrock: i have ubuntu hardy... and now want to change it to ubuntu-stuido... when I first inserted the cd I got a popup asking me if I want to do the desired task... but I wanted to do something else before... and now when i remount the cd... there is no popup anymore :( [01:39] is anyone a router guru? I'm a tech with 13 years experience and I cannot get into my new router IP wise. [01:39] Exidor: #networking [01:39] anyone care to deliver some insight into using custom icon packages? [01:39] unop: but thanks for your help. I'm sure there's some Grub command trickery I can do t make it go to the other hdd [01:39] is there a way i can download the atheros drivers source from apt-get? [01:39] MachinTruc, is the windows HDD the first one (physically) ?? [01:40] thanks Fryguy... just out of curiosity, do you work for Fry's? [01:40] andy: negative [01:40] Exidor: no [01:40] unsungx, what is madwifi-ng? [01:40] im on a wired right now, my wireles is atheros [01:40] * [gnubie] waves [01:40] unop: no. [01:40] i have no idea [01:40] Fryguy--, i just want my desktop to look good, run smoothly (no need for super 3d effects & what not), and look nothing like windows.. [01:40] MrLinux: could try something like http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-make-typescript-of-terminal-session/ but if you want to snoop them unawares, that's harder (and probably rude ;) ) [01:40] what would you recommend ? [01:40] unsungx, well i am trying to setup vmware, i am getting an error about a network header. and it said to recompile madwifi-ng, i guess i'm not using that [01:40] MachinTruc, by default both grub and the windows bootloader install themselves to the MBR on the first available bootable harddrive -- which is really recommended [01:40] I spammed you fryguy ? nope sorry i dont spam [01:41] pharo, ok so you loaded cd while in hardy is that right [01:41] what kind of rig are you on? [01:41] http://paste.ubuntu.com/25302/plain/ [01:41] rand0m: that's pretty vague :) try out dwm, awesomewm, openbox, fluxbox, or any of another few dozen window managers [01:41] MachinTruc, so ubuntu is on the first physical harddrive? [01:41] bloodrock: yes, that is correct [01:41] and yes i have two sound cards [01:41] hello there :) i wanted to ask if the ubuntu 64bit DVD 8.04.1 is LTS as the downloadable 8.04 CD is too ? [01:41] unsungx, 64-bit Hardy, AR5212/AR5213 D-Link PCI wireless [01:41] unop: I wanted the two drives to be "independent". So before installing Windows, I unplugged the Ubuntu HDD, then plugged it back after the install, and used Grub commands to boot Windows. [01:41] rand0m: or wmii, or enlightenment, or fvwm, or... whatever [01:41] can you give me a answer ? [01:42] <[gnubie]> i don't know why i can't make my bcm4318 wlan chipset work on my hardy laptop using ndiswrapper. other distributions, it works flawlessly. any idea if there's a problem or something with ndiswrapper on hardy? [01:42] i need it real quick [01:42] MrLinux: could try something like http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-make-typescript-of-terminal-session/ but if you want to snoop them unawares, that's harder (and probably rude ;) ) [01:42] rand0m: check out screenshot threads for distros that don't use gnome by default (gentoo and archlinux for example), for some inspriation [01:42] pharo, k hold on i'll try that [01:42] unop: yeah, Ubuntu is on the first HDD. Windows isn't, because it would not boot until I used the "map hd0 hd1, map hd1 hd0" commands to trick it into thinking it was the first hdd [01:42] andy_: is that an Acer type laptop? [01:42] [gnubie]: lots of people use ndiswrapper on hardy with no problems [01:42] unsungx, this is a Gigabyte ep35-ds3r PC [01:42] hmm [01:42] (that is the motherboard, at least) [01:42] <[gnubie]> hhmmmm.. [01:43] bloodrock: it worked once... but it does not anymore ... and I have no clue why... I tried to search for a file where it saved .. that I already opened it once... and searched google ... but did not find anything [01:43] unsungx, have you tried vmware or virtualbox with the atheros card you have, and any luck? [01:43] Fryguy--, , nice.. thanks... but once i install another wm, am i able to simply revert back to how i have it right now? or can i even have it so i get to choose which one i use before i boot in? [01:43] !list [01:43] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [01:43] is the ubuntu 8.04.1 DVD LTS too just as the 8.04 CD is ? [01:43] bloodrock: thanks for trying to help me... really appreciate that :)) [01:43] pharo, did you try rebooting hardy [01:43] rand0m: gdm has a session manager built in, you can specify different profiles to log into [01:43] andy_: I can't even get ubunto to recognize my wireless card [01:43] bloodrock: yes I did [01:44] ubuntu)) [01:44] unsungx, oh whcih one do you have? [01:44] hardy [01:44] MachinTruc, well, slightly complex setup -- i'm gonna ignore the details and say this -- you need to get grub to boot from the right partition which it isn't doing at the moment .. you can do this from a live CD and play around with your grub trick to get windows booted [01:44] unsungx, lspci |grep -i wireless [01:44] sorry grep -i ethernet [01:44] #networking [01:44] MachinTruc, .. after installing grub i.e. [01:44] is the madwifi-ng source in ubuntu anywhere? [01:44] pharo, ok one more thing there is a package in the repos to set hardy to ubuntu studio controls [01:45] andy_: apt-cache search madwifi-ng ?? [01:45] unpo: I'm at least getting to Grub, so I think with the right commands (and menu.lst modifs) I should be able to get it working. Thanks for your help. [01:45] pharo, have you tryed that package [01:45] Fryguy--, surprisingly not seeing it, but they have a source site and everything?? [01:45] maybe i want to use ath5k i have no idea [01:45] andy_: apt-src and apt-get have mechansims for getting source code of packages in the repositories [01:45] bloodrock: that package is only one step of the things I want... [01:46] brb bathroom [01:46] bloodrock: I need to find a way to get that popup again... it also installes more than only the metapackages... [01:47] pharo, ok i just put my ubuntu studio cd in and i got a window saying upgrade volume detected [01:47] bloodrock: yes... thats what I am talking about [01:47] bloodrock: close it and remount ... in my case it did not come up again === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [01:48] pharo, ok did you try opening nautilus and veiw the contents of cd [01:48] bloodrock: not even after relogg or reboot [01:49] bloodrock: yes that works... and I tried to start many of the files there in the hope to start the popup that way... [01:49] bloodrock: but had no luck [01:49] Fryguy--, is ath_pci a separate driver from madwifi-ng? [01:50] andy_: no idea [01:50] pharo, what did you click on to close it [01:51] anyone with any experience making usplash themes? I've got everything working but the colors. Despite getting the color indexes via GIMP libusplash-dev seems to have it's own ideas about colors... what I'd really like to be able to do is to turn off any colors for the progess bar so my graphic is the only thing there.. anyone know how to do this? [01:51] this tty watch giving me an error i m following this guide [01:51] anyone knows watch ttypts/1 doesnt work [01:52] bloodrock: hm good question... at the question... If I want to integrate the internet in order to also get the updates included when present... on that window I clicked no and closed the following if I remember that right [01:52] pharo: you can edit /etc/apt/sources.list to choose where packages get installed from (and synaptic provides a front end for managing this as well) [01:52] Fryguy--: wb :) [01:53] spanther: back? heh i've hardly been gone === Shakti_418 is now known as M_Cheevy [01:53] any ideas? [01:53] cgibin: "doesn't work" doesn't mean anything to us [01:53] Fryguy--: it only makes it possible to install the packages that are on the disk ...not more [01:53] pharo, by that you must have started the process cuz so far i see cancel start package manager and run upgrade [01:53] Fryguy--: you went to bathroom and came back so i said welcome back :) [01:53] Fryguy--: that's not the same [01:54] pharo: i'm pretty sure that's not true [01:54] anyone been successful with getting ati radeon tv out working? [01:54] Fryguy--, man watch [01:54] Fryguy--: ok, then I must be right... in that case... please help me by showing that I am wrong... [01:55] Fryguy--: I'm in Synaptic now... what do I have to do [01:55] pharo: edit available repositories [01:55] pharo: it's in one of the menus [01:56] Fryguy--: ba adding the cd yes I did that [01:56] its so simple on this freebsd, watch ttyp2 orwhatever how do i watch on this ubuntu? [01:56] pharo, did you double click on the file cdromupgrade on the ubuntu studio cd [01:56] pharo: so add repositories for the internte [01:56] bloodrock: yes I did [01:56] Fryguy--: did that [01:57] pharo: so now apt uses internet sources where available. What is the problem? [01:57] i hate this irc i never get an answer in here [01:57] Fryguy--: that I still dont have upgraded to ubuntu studio [01:57] pharo, you must have started the upgrade ad then canceled it hey [01:57] pharo: what are you running now [01:58] isnt there some shellscript or something on the cd/dvd? [01:58] mgolisch, yes its called cdromupgrade [01:59] Fryguy--: and just chosing the seperate metapackages in synaptic does not install everything that the popup would if I figured that correctly... because the synaptic metapackages dont install things like the rt-kernel... it only recommends it [01:59] Fryguy--: Hardy Heron Ubunut [01:59] grr... FC9 had too many "oh, by the way..." packages missing that ubuntu just knew to install from the outset [01:59] Fryguy--: *Ubuntu [01:59] where does networkmanager store its interface configuration? [01:59] pharo: so you installed "ubuntustudio-desktop"? [01:59] bloodrock: yes I guess thats what I did [02:00] pharo, why not just save all stuff you want to a diff drive and load ubuntu studio over hardy?? [02:00] for people having trouble with vmware and ath_pci, i had to compile the ath5k module from compat-wireless. then sudo make unload and sudo make load. it is fixed [02:00] hello everyone [02:00] im glad you got it workin andy! [02:00] andy_: somewhere in ~/.gnome2, don't remember exact spot [02:00] unsungx, me too lol [02:00] any GRUB experts here? Who know what each command does and why it would fail? [02:00] now help me make my stuff work! lol [02:00] unsungx, are you stil having issues with yours [02:00] bloodrock: because the standard stuido installation does not have network-manager for example [02:00] i will try [02:00] !ask | MachinTruc [02:00] MachinTruc: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [02:00] ya < is nub [02:01] is there a way to make gedit parse html, and local links? [02:01] are you the same pharo of atitd? [02:01] pharo, but you can add that [02:01] mellery, well gedit has html hightlighting [02:01] Player1xyz: no.. dont think so [02:01] k ty [02:01] Fryguy--, can you paste the output of "lsmod|grep -i ethernet" ? [02:01] andy_: ?? [02:01] bloodrock: how,... when not having internet without [02:01] Fryguy--, sorry i meant unsungx [02:01] I'm sort of new to Ubuntu and I was wondering if anyone could help me to display my laptop screen on an external monitor? [02:02] anyone with any experience making usplash themes? I've got everything working but the colors. Despite getting the color indexes via GIMP libusplash-dev seems to have it's own ideas about colors... what I'd really like to be able to do is to turn off any colors for the progess bar so my graphic is the only thing there.. anyone know how to do this? [02:02] unsungx, can you paste the output of "lsmod|grep -i ethernet" ? [02:02] andy i got some gnarly barfage on my screen [02:02] andy_ i'm looking to be able to click on links though [02:03] pharo, did you try right clicking on cdromupgrade file on the cd then clicking open [02:03] mellery, there are some gedit plugins in synaptic that add functionality, i am not sure if any of these have html parse [02:03] actually this time i got nothing andy [02:03] unsungx, can you paste the wireless adapter listed there? (should be one line or so) [02:03] i'll look there, thanks [02:03] i got absolutely nothing lol [02:03] hey all new here.. looking for help with an old pdc20267 fasttrack100 on Gutsy [02:03] How do i debug the output of: hyperstream@hyperstream-ubuntu:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Stea$ wine steam.exe -applaunch 240 -w -console -dxlevel 81 -heapsize 900000 -w 1440 -h 900 ?? after i enter this it goes to a new terminal line: hyperstream@hyperstream-ubuntu [02:03] just another command line waiting for my input [02:03] I cannot get GRUB to boot Ubuntu.

[02:17] are there diffrent kinds of kde? kde and KUbuntu? [02:17] how do i do that Fryguy-- ? [02:17] thats what i am looking for [02:17] minhaaj: chgrp or chmod [02:17] anyone else having probs with pidgin? [02:17] permanent access as owner [02:17] chmod /var ? [02:17] tripper001, kde3 and kde4 [02:17] minhaaj: /var/www [02:17] pharo, can always delete 1 or the other after playing with em [02:17] how about /var ? would that work ? [02:17] minhaaj: or system > administration > users and groups [02:18] or chmod /etc ? [02:18] minhaaj: it would work, and you'd break things [02:18] pidgin starts crashing when i send messages, anyone? [02:18] does kde4 have a lot of bugs? [02:18] minhaaj: don't chmod /etc, you'l lbreak your system [02:18] pharo, just a thought [02:18] i can't get system doc's or anything like that [02:18] omg how am i in here twice!? [02:18] tripper001, try the live cd [02:18] how so Fryguy-- ? [02:18] what live cd? [02:18] bloodrock: yes that's true... but I only wanted to use hardy to get studio up and running ^ [02:18] tripper001: not any more than the latest gnome or xfce [02:18] minhaaj: for one thing, you will break sudoers and you won't be able to sudo anymore [02:18] tripper001, #kubuntu-kde4 [02:18] saint duh? [02:18] unsung1, irc works by a 'heartbeat'. if your old one hasn't had to report a' heartbeat' yet it's still connected [02:18] Could someone please tell me how to get xfapplet to display the network manager applet? [02:18] anyhow, Andy: Wireless is working, thanks a bunch, your magic worked [02:18] how does that work ? [02:19] unsung1, oh what did you do? [02:19] minhaaj: sudoers requires the /etc/sudoers file to have very specific permissions for security reasons, and totally stops working if it doesn't match [02:19] reset modem, router and the biggest one [02:19] connected to the network [02:19] unsung1, ah i see [02:19] minhaaj-> have you tried some linux tutorials yet? specially in system administrations? perhaps you should try one if you have not done so [02:19] lol [02:19] bloodrock: thanks again for your great support!!! that really cheers me up and motivates me to continue my quest tomorrow [02:19] oh ok [02:19] it was an old pebkac [02:19] unsung1, well i am still having trouble with vmware, it's a PITA compared to virtualbox for wireless i dont know why [02:19] btw chmod /var/www won't work [02:19] missing parameter [02:19] minhaaj: it does, you just aren't doing it right [02:20] pharo, another thing to try is a hard boot which is shuting machine off [02:20] should it be chmod +x /var/www ? [02:20] just asking for trouble [02:20] hmmm [02:20] minhaaj: take a look at the manpage for chmod to see how it works [02:20] have to be sudo for that ? [02:20] minhaaj: no, you don't want to make www executable [02:20] no prob sorry couldn't get it solved [02:20] bloodrock: ok... will to that as well... [02:20] anyone here know how to change the amount of shared video memory on an acer notebook? CMOS tells me i have 8mb of video ram, but the sticker on my laptop claims i can have "upto 252mb" so i'd quite like to go up to 128 or 192 [02:20] bloodrock: *do [02:20] pidgin starts crashing when i send messages, anyone? [02:20] man this is dumb but how do i make it so all my windows are transparent ? [02:21] bloodrock: good night [02:21] rand0m: compiz, or xcompmgr [02:21] andy_-> i doubt it that you can even access wireless stuff within virtual box [02:21] phar nite [02:21] You need a compositor === adante_ is now known as adante [02:21] rand0m: and transset [02:21] -R, --recursive [02:21] change files and directories recursively [02:21] do i have to use this ? [02:21] ok on another topic [02:22] minhaaj: yes [02:22] minhaaj: ls -ld /var/www [02:22] minhaaj: what is the group of www [02:22] Fryguy--: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:22] what do you mean ? [02:22] in ubuntu (on another machine, beside me), i just installed fluxbox and fluxconf, [02:22] saint-takeshi-> up to does not mean you have that much installed, you can install that much if necessary [02:22] minhaaj: type ls -ld /var/www and tell me what group /var/www is [02:22] when i type 'startfluxbox', i get errors saying not to have another window manager running [02:22] root Fryguy-- [02:22] minhaaj: it's root:root? [02:22] so how do i close gnome while keeping terminal open, and then open fluxbox ? [02:23] as in owner/group/others ? [02:23] yes its root/root [02:23] rand0m-> perhaps if you do it in a console not in an Xwindow [02:23] rand0m: fluxbox probably has a command line parameter to become the current window manager, --replace maybe [02:23] so startfluxbox --replace ? [02:24] so now i use chmod -r /var/www ? [02:24] minhaaj: ok, so sudo chgrp -R minhaaj /var/www/, then sudo chmod -R g+rw /var/www/ [02:24] Fryguy--: fluxbox is one of the window managers that doesn't bother with that convention :/ [02:24] chgrp ? [02:24] (xfwm4 is another) [02:24] does anyone know the console command for connecting to an existing wireless hub using WEP encryption? [02:24] Rhorse: iwconfig [02:24] quick poll - how many here are developers for ubuntu? [02:24] Please, could someone help me? [02:25] !ask | kevin_112 [02:25] kevin_112: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [02:25] kevin_112, yeah, i did that too in the beginning, we are just supposed to ask the question, in as few posts as possible [02:25] Fryguy--, thanks. So, there is a switch for connecting to a specific node and for supplying password and such? [02:25] Rhorse: yes [02:26] amenado: it's shared memory, shouldn't i just be able to turn it up? or would i need to put in more system memory? [02:26] ubottu & Elijah: I'm sorry. I am running xfce, and I wanted to know how could I get the gnome network manager applet to display itself with the xfapplet in XFCE. [02:26] kevin_112: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:26] Fryguy--, OK, thanks that's what I needed to know. I will try it. [02:26] Hi everyone, I'm trying to install samba so I can enable file sharing with my desktop, but I get an error while doing it [02:26] well it worked Fryguy-- but how did you do that ? [02:26] what is the logic ? [02:26] saint-takeshi-> huh? shared memory? on a video card? [02:27] kevin_112, dont be sorry, and ubotto is a droid, not a real person, i dont know anything about xfce and cannot help you [02:27] minhaaj: files have 3 levels of permissions, owner, group, and everyone else. I set the group for all of those files to the group that you belong to, and then gave the group read/write permissions [02:27] whats the reason ubuntu can not resolve netbios names of windows computers? do i need some additional package/program for this to work? [02:27] I'm trying to install samba so I can enable file sharing with my desktop, but I get an error while doing it, anyone? === GirlPT is now known as GuyPT [02:27] !work | xcesarfrancox [02:27] xcesarfrancox: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [02:27] amenado: my original question stated that it's a laptop [02:28] sudo chgrp -R minhaaj /var/www/ -r makes it recursively editable whats chgrp ? [02:28] is it possible to have tab completion act after the following "apt-get install " [02:28] change group ? [02:28] minhaaj: change group [02:28] saint-takeshi-> so go ahead and add more ram, not sure if it will do what you wanted though [02:28] i presume i can use it on other directories too ? [02:28] minhaaj: yes [02:29] intel GMA965 X3100 (directx10 compatible acceleration....or it would be if i could give it more than 8mb of my system ram) [02:29] ok lately i have been facing a problem you might help me with Fryguy-- how do you copy all your home directory to usb ? [02:29] minhaaj: might want to go read some documentation on administration of linux systems before you go nuts though. Most flies have their permissions set a specific way for a specific reason [02:29] it won't allow me to do so and inspite of the fact i have the access to home [02:29] minhaaj: mount the usb drive somewhere (/mnt/tmp or whatever), then cp -a /home/ /mnt/tmp [02:29] minhaaj: File permissions will be messed up, fat32 doesn't support them. I would tar them. [02:30] actually i have tried 10 back up techniques and i screwed up ubuntu 10 times [02:30] ? [02:30] How? [02:30] i was on kubuntu before. installed 10 times and updated ten times but i have never been able to back up [02:30] I had samba installed before, when sharing files from/to another ubuntu laptop, but I can't share anything between my ubuntu laptop and my xp desktop, so I did a 'sudo aptitude remove samba' and now I try with 'sudo aptitude install samba' and I get: * Starting Samba daemons [fail] [02:30] Wouldn't you restore to a test directory before writing over your home folder? [02:31] i dont know AndyCR somebody told me to copy home directory to back up settings [02:31] minhaaj: like i said, take some time to find and read some documentation on the administration of *nix systems. It'll help you understand some of the fundamentals better so you don't run into as many problems [02:31] i did that, and reinstalled and over wrote home, i got my desktop and settings but not programs and links were broken [02:31] Fryguy--: give me a link please [02:31] actually, i guess it could be a bios thing. they maybe lock down the options and expect you to use acer's bloatware under vista to set it up properly [02:31] i used sback up, home back up user, mondomindi [02:31] and i already deleted my recovery drive. [02:31] nothing works, tried simple tar.gz won't work [02:31] minhaaj: http://www.google.com/search?q=linux+administration&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a [02:31] angers [02:32] thanks Fryguy-- [02:32] i won't stop until i am able to back up. i want something like norton ghost. [02:32] minhaaj: dd acts like ghost [02:32] mindframe, partimage [02:33] partimage [02:33] i test alot with ubuntu and do crazy stuff so i am bound to mess up. but if i have ghost it won't have to worry. i can get a particular restore [02:33] I had samba installed before, when sharing files from/to another ubuntu laptop, but I can't share anything between my ubuntu laptop and my xp desktop, so I did a 'sudo aptitude remove samba' and now I try with 'sudo aptitude install samba' and I get: * Starting Samba daemons [fail] What do I have to do to share files with my desktop?? install ubuntu on it??? format c:??? [02:33] how does that work Fryguy-- ? [02:33] how do i mount a drive [02:33] like [02:33] sda [02:33] Personally I use rdiff-backup [02:33] minhaaj: dd if=/dev/partition/you/want/to/backup of=/location/where/you/want/equivalent/of/iso/to/go [02:33] But it's a bit complex for something like this [02:33] its command line AndyCR too many attributes i am new to linux. [02:34] minhaaj, partiamge [02:34] just been a month and i am loving it. i won't sleep at night. i am always busy configuring :D i have turned into an addict [02:34] minhaaj, partimage [02:34] i went to partimage documentation. read that. couldnt figure out [02:34] :s [02:34] I don't know of any non-command line automatic backup in Linux [02:34] how do i get codecs to play mp3s? [02:34] try out slackware [02:34] what is the command to mount a drive like sda1 [02:34] if yo uwant to learn the command line [02:34] what's my nick? [02:34] from the terminal [02:34] CostaRicanQuaker: install restricted extras [02:34] it creates an iso of whole partition and on boot gives you an installation mode ? [02:34] use ubuntu for a year, know ubuntu; use slackware for a year, know linux. :P [02:35] Fryguy: how? [02:35] slackware is the oldest i presume [02:35] CostaRicanQuaker: sudo apt-get install restricted-extras or something [02:35] what's the exact command? [02:35] tell my nick [02:35] minhaaj: it's one of the older ones [02:35] RenatoSilva: [02:35] minhaaj, I don't know. If you want do do creazy things with linux, then use a VM [02:35] CostaRicanQuaker: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:35] the place i live, very few people know linux. they are surprised when i show them stuff like compiz and cli skills [02:35] :D [02:35] Fryguy--: nicksaid, I don't understand this plugin [02:35] i couldnt get to configure virtualbox WalloO [02:35] :s [02:36] i couldnt configure wine too. but i keep trying. one day i'll succeed :) [02:36] minhaaj: the documentation for it is pretty straightforward [02:36] CostaRicanQuaker: take a look at www.ubuntuguide.org [02:36] you people have been so helpful. no wonder linux pwns microsoft [02:36] xcesarfrancox: thank you [02:36] you're welcome [02:36] minhaaj: lol :( [02:36] well when you are at a higher level you think its pretty easy. for newbies its pretty much greek [02:36] yea truly you people are amazing. [02:36] xcesarfrancox: how come the nickname? [02:37] minhaaj: No offense intended, but I'm sure Microsoft would walk you through and hold your hand for free [02:37] minhaaj: and to think, i don't use linux [02:37] well the only way to lern greek is to ask [02:37] CostaRicanQuaker: yup, ubuntu community is the best, I just hope my problem was that easy so anyone could help me :( [02:37] minhaaj, use the one from sun microsystem, not the one in ubuntu repository [02:37] who cares AndyCR [02:37] the ubuntu one is fine [02:37] got a link WalloO ? [02:37] minhaaj: You, apparently, since you're comparing us to Microsoft [02:37] problem with revolution and nvidia GForce FX series5. I prevously had to enable ubuntu to operate on low graphics mode. What shal I do to get better resolution? [02:37] what are the errors when runing vbox [02:38] CostaRicanQuaker: what about my nick? the X?? [02:38] i can't compare you.

[02:40] home user restore [02:40] minhaaj: Yeah, that seems the simplest way [02:40] How do I get my system to log the occurrence of a specific command?

All my home folders are the same, more or less [02:43] ok [02:43] minhaaj: It seems extremely strange that it wouldn't tar, though. [02:43] Thanks dude [02:43] yea but how do you save your programs settings that are in etc ? [02:43] can anyone tell me how netbios name resolution works between ubuntu and windows? which service is responsible for it? [02:43] and some in var i presume [02:43] Fryguy--: I already have samba installed, but when I go to Places -> Network -> Workgroup -> Desktop I don't see any of my shared folders [02:43] minhaaj: you don't, that is part of the baseline system configuration, and is dependent on what is installed and such [02:44] xcesarfrancox: are you logged in correctly? and on the right workgroup? [02:44] minhaaj: if you want to back up the whole system, back up the whole system, the only discrete component that can easily be maintained separately is /home [02:45] I'm on the right workgroup, but I guess it is supposed to ask for my windows user and pwd, but anything prompts [02:45] how can i get the numeric chmodded value of the file by using the chmod command? i recall it was something like chmod -v - somefile ? can someone correct me ? [02:45] Fryguy--: I'm on the right workgroup, but I guess it is supposed to ask for my windows user and pwd, but anything prompts [02:45] friendlys: ls -l will give you want you want [02:45] Fryguy--: yea but how would i restore whole system ? [02:45] xcesarfrancox: no idea then [02:45] minhaaj: by backing up the entire partition, useing partimage, or dd, or whatever [02:45] that would be great. i have a 8 gb usb and i can back up whole system including programs [02:45] Fryguy--: thanks... :( [02:46] Fryguy--: do you think it is a problem of my ubuntu laptop or my windows desktop? [02:46] xcesarfrancox: no idea [02:46] Fryguy: do i have to reboot for the codecs to start working? [02:46] xcesarfrancox: you are not alone [02:46] CostaRicanQuaker: no [02:46] Fryguy--: ok thankyou [02:46] i need it in numeric [02:46] Fryguy: they're not working then [02:46] or that didnt work then [02:47] i clicked on one of the mp3s [02:47] and it says i dont have the codecs necessary [02:47] Qustion about compiz fushion what is it called to get the gooyee affect on the bottem of the page to choose what your looking at [02:47] DIL: what do you mean?? is that common my problem? (I'm sorry, my english is note very good) [02:47] You do not have a decoder installed to handle this file. You might need to install the necessary plugins. [02:48] i thought i did [02:48] ok Fryguy-- [02:48] xcesarfrancox: mine went away after an update i can see my xp box but cannot connecty to the share [02:48] though i am not sure i understand partimage or dd [02:48] hola soy ana [02:48] me gustaria platicar con un hombre maduro [02:48] partimage is gui pretty straight forward [02:48] ziggy__: preview or thumbnail or something [02:49] DIL: but do you even see the folders? I mean, I have about 6 or 7 folders, but when I enter my desktop it doesn't even show one single folder [02:49] I'm looking for a voice transcription/speech to text/voice recognition solution for transcribing my small voice memos to save me typing. I don't need anything more complicated than that. I don't need, for example, to control the computer with voice. Any reccomendations? [02:49] xcesarfrancox: no folders [02:49] zenwryly: there's nothing particularly good for that, even in the closed-source world [02:49] help anyone? [02:50] CostaRicanQuaker: go to Aplicaciones (I guess you have ubuntu on spanish) Añadir/quitar [02:50] um nope, it's in english [02:50] ok [02:50] zenwryly: my fiancee had something running on Windows XP that was supposed to type up her college notes as she dictated them, to try and mitigate the effects of dyslexia [02:50] zenwryly: they results were at best comical [02:50] gordonjcp: hehe [02:50] s/they/the/ [02:50] zenkk: dasher maybe [02:50] xcesarfrancox: post your smb.conf file see if someone can see why you are having a problem [02:50] ok xcesarfrancox [02:50] gordonjcp: was that dragon? [02:50] now what? [02:50] zenwryly: kurzweil [02:51] CostaRicanQuaker: then search for gstreamer and install gstreamer extra plugins [02:51] zenwryly: not really suited to highly techy comp sci or forensic chemistry [02:51] DIL: Do I post it here or on the forums? [02:51] xcesarfrancox: i meant pastebin [02:52] DIL: Sorry, I don't know about that [02:52] xcesarfrancox: there are a buch of smart people here [02:52] xcesarfrancox, where do i look for it? [02:52] i typoed it on the search box [02:52] and it didnt show up [02:52] gordonjcp: hmm, well I don't mind typing the terminology bits [02:53] CostaRicanQuaker: ok, let's do it from the terminal, wait please [02:53] so I'm about to get a VPS (upgrading my site from being on shared) and am planning on using Ubuntu on the server. I have never used linux before. What resources do you all reccomend to help me on the right track? [02:53] ok [02:53] thats better [02:53] Smaug: www.ubuntu.com [02:53] Fryguy--: i should have guessed that one [02:54] Smaug: also the ubuntuguide and the wiki [02:54] are those on ubuntu.com as well? [02:54] CostaRicanQuaker: did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras? [02:54] Smaug: prolly [02:54] nope [02:54] ok. ty [02:54] i have an ubuntu box that cannot connect to the internet [02:54] how can i wipe its hdd? [02:54] i copied and paste the comand fryguy gave [02:54] goldbond: wouldn't you rather fix the problem [02:55] how do i install the compiz-theme? [02:55] ? [02:55] goldbond: that's an impressive leap of logic, there... "canny get online...bugger....reformat!" [02:56] CostaRicanQuaker: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:56] CostaRicanQuaker: that should give you mp3 support [02:56] how do i install the compiz theme from gnome-look? [02:57] CostaRicanQuaker: for a full multimedia support do the following: sudo aptitude install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg libxine1-ffmpeg libdvdread3 [02:57] xcesarfrancox: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25316/ [02:57] anyone? [02:57] saint-takeshi: well, i am going to donate it [02:57] goldbond, what do you mean by wipe? do you mean just delete the files, or completly remove all traces of files from the computer? [02:57] hello! [02:58] hello everyone [02:58] CostaRicanQuaker: maybe you don't have universe and multiverse repositories enabled [02:58] its now downloading [02:58] with that last command you gave me [02:58] is someone going to help me? [02:58] please [02:58] let me try after that [02:58] CostaRicanQuaker: ok, but let's check if you have enabled universe and multiverse [02:59] perlysyntax: yes, patience [02:59] sorry [02:59] ok, how [02:59] goldbond: darik's boot and nuke [02:59] please go to system -> administration -> software sources [02:59] neurobuntu: i want to get rid of the files, but i would like to do it as quickly as possible. i'm not a secret agent, but i don't want to make it easy for people to poke around [02:59] goldbond: google it, first result, it's a boot cd that will wipe the hard drive clean [02:59] i got software properties [02:59] don't see sources [02:59] goldbond, simply boot a live cd , open the Partition Manager, then reformat the partition [03:00] howdy folks! [03:00] perlsyntax: which compiz theme? [03:00] goldbond, it won't prevent a forensics expert from being able to access the files, but the average person won't be able to [03:00] i am running shred now, but it is really slow [03:00] i have a few more hdds i want to sell on ebay [03:00] goldbond, a simple reformat should do it [03:00] 83640-LM_Glossy.emerald [03:00] any secure wipe will be slow [03:00] CostaRicanQuaker: please wait [03:00] no hay problema [03:00] perlsyntax: do you have emerald installed? [03:01] is there anything between a secure wipe and re partitioning? [03:01] i not sure i don't think so [03:01] maybe just writing zeros once [03:01] goldbond, not really [03:01] apt-get install emerald? [03:01] perlsyntax: please do this from a terminal: sudo aptitude install emerald emerald-themes [03:01] you have to overwrite the bits 2 or 3 times for it to truly be secure... thats a lot of data to write [03:01] it takes time [03:01] partioning will wipe mft [03:02] DIL: but it won't wipe the actual data, which is still recoverable after a reformatting [03:02] perlsyntax: then you have to open up the emerald theme manager, and there you can import the theme you want and select it, then you do this: hit alt+f2 and write emerald --replace [03:02] what is the easiest way to partition? [03:02] if you do like a quadruple reformat, you definetly destroy the traces [03:02] goldbond, LivCD [03:02] anyone familiar with dual boot in vista? trying to install ubuntu on new partition and can't get it to work by installing it or using the option to try before installing [03:02] yes [03:02] from the command line? [03:02] hey has anyone had a problem getting ubuntu to see usb drives with ehci? when i modprobe ehci_hcd and rmmod uhci_hcd nothing shows up in dmesg [03:02] Switch between op systems, this will do it, but really, once is enough Goldbond. [03:02] traderdave: search google there are HUNDREDS of walkthroughts [03:02] perlsyntax: also try fusion-icon: sudo aptitude install fusion icon [03:02] have tried that [03:03] Unless you are worried about your top secret swiss bank accounts being found [03:03] traderdave, what happens? [03:03] CostaRicanQuaker: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [03:03] saying you "can't get it to work" doesn't help us much [03:03] well I get to the screen that asks what language I want to install, then my monitor flashes rainbow colors after that [03:03] CostaRicanQuaker: and post it like the output of the command before [03:03] whoa weird [03:04] does it work in the livecd, traderdave? [03:04] yes, then when I reboot into Vista, I have to repair network connections [03:04] something about TCP settings [03:04] that's really odd [03:04] perlysyntax: i got two things, the sources list file and http://paste.ubuntu.com/25317/ [03:04] the live cd shouldn't have any impact on vista [03:04] I have tried burning it to CD and also Wubi [03:04] anyone have any input on my question? [03:04] xcesarfrancox: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25318/ [03:05] CostaRicanQuaker: try this sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [03:05] also, look up, that post under perlysyntax was for you [03:05] one last question. how can i reformat a second hdd from the command line? [03:05] Get another CD mynnx, test it out [03:05] yup, I did realize that, lol [03:05] http://paste.ubuntu.com/25319/ [03:05] CD? that's traderdave's problem [03:05] goldbond: cfdisk and mkfs [03:05] perlsyntax: how are we doing man? [03:06] i had to type compiz --replace and it work [03:06] oh.. mynnx, can you repost? [03:06] traderdave: try the safe graphics mode [03:06] wow that was a 4 hour battle to restore my X server to the way it was before . . . . much work has to be done on the graphic config tools, methodologies, etc. methinks :) [03:06] yeah, sure! my external drive has terrible speeds (according to hdparm), leading me to believe that it's only running usb 1.1 [03:07] tripps: add some documentation to related launchpad bugs, or go vote on ubuntu brainstorm then [03:07] safe graphics mode in Vista? [03:07] /action is happy because he finally got Kubuntu to work with his Hardy Heron and Compiz Fusion...\ [03:07] doh [03:07] lol [03:07] That is what you get when your using Kopete lol [03:07] ))0) [03:07] CostaRicanQuaker: parce que universe y multiverse estan habilitados pero en realidad no te sabria decir porque no te deja instalar el paquete ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:07] sometimes i wonder why people are so excited about compiz [03:07] Fryguy--, will do - is there a link for ubuntu brainstorm?

Is there any way of setting an ethernet card to listen only? I don't know what network a cable belongs to, and want to ID with tcpdump before the card starts throwing out an IP/mac address [03:10] Ok [03:10] nope [03:10] brb [03:10] KDE... [03:10] Im mean server doh, I was thinking of me lol [03:10] command line...no gui. it's ubuntu server [03:10] :) [03:10] g6pd_: try virtual box [03:10] AndyCR, indeed. And probably the biggest single hurdle to getting massive desktop adoption. They have come a long way, though for tonight's exercise I would have preferred X just complain and not start like the old days rather than downgrade to vesa drivers [03:11] if your on the command line, you may be able to increase the buffering, hmm...

It connects successfully but I can neither browse nor ping anything. Wired lan works fine. Also wireless used to work fine in feisty. Any ideas?

[03:18] xaustenx: yes [03:18] i closd and opened [03:18] ruffleS: patched [03:18] ruffleS: it is vanilla kernel with all of the ubuntu patches applied [03:19] CostaRicanQuaker: go to about:plugins and see if it's listed [03:19] great! thanks :) [03:19] Fryguy: how? [03:19] CostaRicanQuaker: about:plugins into url bar [03:19] is apache2 supposed to have 4 processes and one of them running as root? that certainly doesn't seem right... (does it create a process per virtual server? or what?) [03:19] About your slow hardrive issue mynnx, sorry dude, I suck, the only thing I can think of is that if its on the USB, external, that you may want to consider getting another plug, and if its an internal drive and the system is confused, then I d run a hardware test, to see if it could be the driver maybe? Sometimes, if Ubuntu does not recognize a drive, it could be using a default driver, which reduces IO speed to the hard drive arm and stu [03:19] Fryguy: No plugins are installed [03:20] hmmm [03:20] Fryguy--, Gnea: so if i wanna recompile ubuntu kernel i can just copy the config file fom /boot/ into /usr/src/linux/.config, and then streamline it the way i want? [03:20] Really suck, thought that I d figure it out, but .. oh well, sorry I was not that much help mynnx [03:20] Ademan: seems right to me, there's a master processes that spawns worker threads as necessary [03:20] ramun [03:20] Ademan: feel free to configure httpd.conf to change the behavior of how apache spawns processes [03:20] what is that: http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/9971/youareapirate5xb.swf ?

[03:30] CostaRicanQuaker: http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb [03:30] Fryguy:what about this page http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_flash_player9 [03:30] SuperQ: i mean from the terminal [03:30] CostaRicanQuaker: That page includes instructions [03:30] CostaRicanQuaker: sudo apt-get install wine, thats what i do [03:31] shyam_k: reinstall ubuntu and it will be fine if you want vista only boot in safe mode with vista cd and fixboot or fixmbr [03:31] anyone? [03:31] You should use the winehq.com packages, they are up to date with the releases [03:31] yeah but for that the partition in which ubuntu was previously installed got deleted and added up with vista's data partition.. so he dont have a clean parititon to install.. [03:32] CostaRicanQuaker: If you want flash player, you should install the "ubuntu-restricted-extras" package [03:32] its better to have windows os and then install linux then otherwise couse it will malfunction probably [03:32] i think i did, or so i thought [03:32] SuperQ: what is the command for doing that? [03:32] shyam_k: it will see the available space [03:32] CostaRicanQuaker: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:33] hey I am having a problem with mysql, I am running Gutsy Gibson Server, fully update, but I cannot login to phpmyadmin at all.. I have tried every possibly username password combo I know, and I need to change the password, how can I do this? [03:33] i-m sorry, i haven-t slept in over 20 hours, i had to reinstall windows xp and all its programmes and im likeon autopilot [03:33] hey can I increase my SWAP partition? [03:33] afallenhope: Yes, you can add more than one [03:33] make new one [03:34] afallenhope: You shouldn't really need to these days [03:34] DIL: making use of available space wont hurt data in that partition? [03:34] means there is no free partition.. [03:34] nikonadictk, have a look on mysql.org on how to change the mysql admin password [03:34] SuperQ: E: Couldn't find package ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:34] shyam_k: because thetr is nothing there [03:34] SuperQ, well.. I have 1GB of ram and my swap is set to 512MB [03:35] CostaRicanQuaker: You need to enable the "multiverse" package set [03:35] I have been trying, mysqladmin is not working... I have tried reinstalling and EVERYTHING.. unop... can you direct me to a reliable method and I can explain what is going wrong from there... i would REALLY APPRECIATE THIS [03:35] shyam_k: unused space [03:35] how do i do that? [03:35] CostaRicanQuaker: Look in "System -> Administration -> Software Sources" [03:35] mysql -u root -p "password" [03:36] afallenhope, use gparted or something to increase the size of your current swap partition -- or if you can - create a new swap partition (you are allowed multiple swap partitions) -- but remember this one needs to be atleast the size of your RAM - for hibernation, etc [03:36] new partition 10 gb shoul be enough but do this couse i got my ubuntu on unpartitioned 320 gb and now its not accesible got all the good stuff there but im lazy === Shadow_X|away is now known as Shadow_X [03:36] nikonadictk, have you got any important databases on mysql atm? [03:36] SuperQ: cant find that...software sources [03:36] i'm on xfce desktop right now [03:37] is there a way to open it from the terminal [03:37] DIL: g6pd_ ok ubuntu's parition is now a part of vista's data partition and making use of the unused space in that data partition wont harm the data in that partition?i am not sure of the way how guided partitioning works..i always use to go for manual partitioning,... [03:37] is there a shortcut key in fluxbox to "restart" the environment ? when i right click the desktop, i get gnomes rightclick menu [03:37] if thats what u r asking then yes it could couse some problems (no music ) :(((( [03:37] DIL when I do that I put in my new password in the part where you put parentheses? or my old one? [03:37] rand0m, how are you starting fluxbox? [03:37] can i use the install disc to do a dist-upgrade instead of downloading the packages? [03:37] shyam_k: sb [03:37] DIL: sb? [03:38] stand by [03:38] Deadlyx [03:38] DIL: ook np [03:38] unop: i installed it while in gnome via SPM -, logged out, chose the option to use fluxbox int eh sessions menu [03:38] unop, it was working just two minutes ago but now its all weird [03:38] Has anyone found a way to get ctrl-click to act as a right click on an intel-based macbook? I've googled for a while, with no luck [03:38] i think ill just reboot ? [03:38] nikonadictk: try old first [03:38] DIL in parentheses? [03:38] rand0m, i think you opened a nautilus window [03:39] nikonadictk: no [03:39] unop, yeah i did.. that a nono ? [03:39] it kees saying access denied password YES... [03:39] if u wanna dual boot it get some virtul machine soft [03:39] shyam_k: i use defaults [03:39] rand0m, causing nautils to take control of the desktop [03:39] that explains it [03:39] couse windows wiil eat it up [03:39] must i reboot now or?// [03:39] rand0m, it's not a no-no (well it is to you atm) -- you need to configure not to take control of the desktop [03:39] SuperQ: I'm too tired, excuse me, I've to lay down, thanks though. [03:39] ahh ok [03:39] rand0m, no, all you need do is kill nautilux [03:40] rand0m, nautilus [03:40] everytime i boot up i have to type in the wep password into kde. Anyway to make it save the wifi password? [03:40] HELP: How can I find programs and packages that need libgtkmm(shared library) ? any command line? [03:40] and manual part' is fine to to seperate it (need tops8 gb for linux ) [03:40] DIL this is what happens to me no matter how I try to change the mysql password.. it keeps saying my password is wrong, I know its right [03:40] unop, heh i cant right now.. can't right click to get to the menus to open terminal [03:40] nikonadictk: what message [03:41] DIL that my password has been denied.. [03:41] dil there is no error msg it just dosn't save the password in the knetworkmanager [03:41] nikonadictk, using password (YES) means that your password is right, but there is something else preventing you from logging in -- privilieges most likely [03:41] nikonadictk: did you give root a pw [03:41] DIL: g6pd_ now the thing is he just cant boot to vista that the grub shows error,..i said him to re install grub with ubuntu live cd.. so that he can boot in to vista for once and have the parition seperated from vista and then installing ubuntu again in the freed parition..but for that i just wanted to verify that grub works even there is only vista.. [03:41] HELP: How can I find programs and packages that depend on libgtkmm(shared library) ? any command line? [03:42] how do I fix that unop because it says password(YES)... I am using the password I know will work, I am 100% sure, I would not have chosen any other password [03:42] if i type in Su and command it wants my password so yes i think [03:42] khajavi: ldd? [03:42] rand0m, press CTRL+ALT+F1 -- log in and type this command out. killall nautilus .. then press CTRL+ATL+F7 to get back to fluxbox [03:42] Hi guys, I'm trying to get UTF-8 to work in Amarok using the following faq, thing is though, http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/FAQ is that I don't know what to do with the perl script [03:42] !sudo | nicknock [03:42] nicknock: 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) [03:42] shyam_k: if you want vista only boot in safe mode with vista cd and fixboot or fixmbr [03:42] Can anyone tell me what to do with the perl script? [03:43] DIL: oh ok [03:43] !root | nicknock [03:43] nicknock: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [03:43] marvin__: depends on what it is [03:43] DIL: just wanted to instruct him a solution using ubuntu:) [03:43] no problem ..ill do this:) [03:43] unop, awesome, thanks [03:44] anyone know of a good data recovery app? [03:44] nikonadictk: did you give root a pw [03:44] nikonadictk, what i would do here is to just completely reinstall mysql and mysqladmin after backing up the mysql databases [03:44] is it possible to use install cd packages to do a dist upgrade instead of letting dist-upgrade download them all? [03:44] unop I dont even need anything in the mysql database [03:44] unop can you show me how to completly reinstall both mysql and phpmyadmin [03:44] unop I guess I dont need to remove phpmyadmin because chaning the mYSQL password should fix it [03:45] nikonadictk, sudo aptitude purge mysql mysql-common mysql-server mysqladmin etc && sudo aptitude install mysqladmin mysql-server # the exact package names are unknown to me, please verify them [03:45] nikonadictk: if root did not have a pw it is mysql - u root [03:45] -u [03:46] DIL, he knows his password, it is right, mysql just isn't letting him log in [03:46] unop can I do that with sudp apt-get... I am in CLI through SSH [03:46] k [03:46] nikonadictk, use aptitude [03:46] nikonadictk, you can use apt-get -- but use aptitude, it's installed by default anyway [03:46] unop gotya [03:46] unop it says score 604 [03:46] unop: sorry to cut in, but whats the difference between the two of them? [03:47] BoltClock, one sec [03:47] should I accept the solution unop? [03:47] I need to burn some files on my server to a DVD+R. What's the best way to do this? I only want to burn some of the files in a directory, not all of them. [03:47] nikonadictk, well, i dunno what it is doing .. so i suggest you use the pastebinit utility and paste that output to a pastebin [03:47] I tried making a new directory and some symbolic links to the files I wanted, and then told growisofs to burn that new directory to dvd, but all I got was a dvd full of symbolic links. [03:47] !k3b [03:47] k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K3BHowto [03:48] roger that unop : http://paste.ubuntu.com/25323/ [03:48] DIL: command line only. [03:48] DIL: It's a headless server. [03:48] BoltClock, aptitude is considered to be an advanced apt-get .. it pretty much does all what apt-get can do, only slightly different -- but where it is good at is managing dependencies, it has a better algorithm [03:49] nikonadictk, yes, go ahead and select this option [03:50] i see a cron job for slocate in cron.daily but it's not being run. anyone know why? [03:50] alright unop its working... BTW THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THIS HELP I realy appreciate it [03:50] unop I mean working as the aptitute is uninstalling... what next ha [03:50] nikonadictk, mysql working already? wow [03:50] ha [03:50] ha [03:50] unop: i see [03:50] unop: should i use aptitude in future then, or? [03:51] nikonadictk, you'll need to make sure that the /etc/mysql/my.conf no longer exists -- infact, remove /etc/mysql completely [03:51] `slocate test' : slocate: fatal error: Could not find user database '/var/lib/slocate/slocate.db' [03:51] `ls /etc/cron.daily/` : ... slocate ... [03:51] sudo rm -rf /etc/mysql unop? [03:51] aib it should be run by anacron, when you boot or at 7:30 am [03:51] nickrud, its not happening. [03:51] hi [03:52] nikonadictk, actually don't worry, i gave you a command that should take care of this [03:52] this is a brand new system (3 days old). many many reboots since then [03:52] alrighty.. next to re-install of them correct [03:52] aib do you have an anacron crontab fragment in /etc/cron.d ? [03:52] nikonadictk, just let the command finish and try mysqladmin again [03:52] yep its the only thing there [03:52] Hi ppl [03:52] unop as in do the mysqladmin command you gave me before: mysql -u root -p password [03:52] nikonadictk, the command ought to reinstall them -- but make sure all these packages that were just removed (inadvertently) are reinstalled [03:52] aib is crond running? [03:53] nikonadictk, yes, eventually, try that [03:53] nickrud, should i see crond in ps ax | grep crond? [03:53] unop it says the file /usr/bin/mysql does not exist.... [03:53] aib cron , not crond sorry [03:53] BoltClock, aptitude tends to install recommended packages by default -- it's a good thing and a bad thing, bad thing is the bloat that accumulates over time .. best to use apt-get to install and aptitude to remove [03:54] aib and to answer the question, yes you should see cron running [03:54] nikonadictk, hold on [03:54] nickrud, /usr/sbin/cron is running [03:54] unop take your time [03:54] ls /et30 7 * * * root test -x /etc/init.d/anacron && /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d anacron start >/dev/null [03:54] unop: ok, thanks [03:54] seems like mac is the way to go [03:55] aib try running /etc/init.d/anacron , and check the /var/log/syslog [03:55] im missing my .dbus file, whats it for, what are its permissions, what program will create it ? [03:55] nickrud, Jul 5 22:55:22 mist anacron[7183]: Anacron 2.3 started on 2008-07-05 \n Jul 5 22:55:22 mist anacron[7183]: Normal exit (0 jobs run [03:56] hm actually .dbus directory i think, im not sure anymore [03:56] to many bugs [03:56] BoltClock, but sometimes apt-get struggles on installing a package because of some complex dependency issue - you could use aptitude then - usually works [03:56] hi === nibsa1242 is now known as nibsa1242b [03:56] unop: alright [03:56] Hello. Can anybody point me to any good info about rescuing an ubuntu system with the Ubuntu boot CD?

I tried Wifi-radar [03:58] orbisvicis, ls -ld ~/.dbus drwx------ 3 user user 80 2008-06-25 00:47 /home/user/.dbus [03:58] JeffFromOhio, get parted magic it does the job fine [03:58] nickrud that is strange. i'll ask our sysadmin to take a look at the system, thanks. [03:58] unop, user is you, right .. not root ? [03:58] !rescue | JeffFromOhio [03:58] JeffFromOhio: To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" [03:58] !grub | JeffFromOhio [03:58] JeffFromOhio: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[04:00] whats an application that uses dbus [04:00] rand0m, depends on the file you want to extract [04:00] orbisvicis, gnome-session [04:00] nickrud, http://paste.ubuntu.com/25327/ [04:00] rand0m, what have you tried? [04:01] goen to sllep bybye [04:01] ok my question is,find /boot/grub/stage1 should report something like (hd0,1) no matter what OS is in disk right? [04:01] Anyone know the name of the package that helps track down the cause of a segfault. I can't remeber the name and I know it's only available for deb and ubuntu. === theFATMAN is now known as Obi [04:01] unop, Rhorse - right now im using konquerer as the file manager, and i installed the plugins from synaptic package manager which indicated it shoudl give it extraction capabilities as a file manager [04:01] but it doesn't [04:01] unop, so if i deleted .dbus and rebooted into a gnome-session, why has .dbus not been recreated ? [04:01] aib same as mine. It's been a while since I tracked anacron & cron, I'm not sure why it would be ignoring that tab [04:01] unop in the middle of the command that you gave me... it is sitting at this invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "start" failed. === Obi is now known as Obi_Bong_Kedoobi [04:02] where can I get help with openjdk? [04:02] gizmobay: valgrind gdb ddd take your pick, although I recommend valgrind [04:02] rand0m, what type of files are you trying to extract fm? [04:02] What plugin do I need to watch the video on this page http://www.wftv.com/news/16586129/detail.html ? [04:02] rand0m, you'll need to ask someone who uses konqueror that -- maybe in #kubuntu [04:02] anyone know of a good data recovery app? [04:02] Rhorse, *.tar.gz [04:02] nibsa1242b: have you tried installing flash? [04:03] thanks tomd123 [04:03] Shadow_X, photorec [04:03] rand0m, use the console [04:03] orbisvicis, ~/.dbus contains user configuration files -- so the directory is only created if you make changes to it's configuration - otherwise it uses the system default [04:03] Rhorse, dont know the commands :\ [04:03] Shadow_X, http://www.livecdlist.com/?pick=All&showonly=Rescue&sort=&sm=1 [04:03] tomd123: I have flash-nonfree & libflashsupport [04:03] nikonadictk, hmm, no disk activity -- use top to see what dpkg or aptitude is doing [04:03] nickrud, I'll sleep on it, maybe it will come to me. thanks for showing me the places to look [04:04] when installing ubunut, can I resize the partition used by XP and Vista ? [04:04] where can I get help with openjdk? [04:04] oh. unop, do you know what type of settings ? after i rebooted, everything seemed the same [04:04] rand0m, cd directory; tar zxvf file.tgz === xbris is now known as xBRiS [04:04] rand0m, gunzip *.tar.gz will give you *.tar [04:05] could somebody help me understand serial consoles? [04:05] unop what do you mean use top... it is still stck at that part in the install script... want me to pastebin waht it wen tthrough in the install? [04:05] tomd123: in totem it plays the into advertisement video, and then doesn't play the actual vid. with the xine plugin it doesn't play the vid at all. [04:05] nibsa1242b: oh, sry I didn't actually click on the link, normally it's a flash video :) it works for me, install all gstreamer codecs and it works for me [04:05] unop http://paste.ubuntu.com/25328/ [04:05] tomd123: does the second (actual news) video work for you? [04:05] orbisvicis, well, i'm not sure what settings and how they are configured -- things would seem the same without ~/.dbus but it's probably working different, it's not like it affects the GUI so much you notice changes [04:06] nibsa1242b: dunno but it works under totem browser plugin [04:06] rand0m, and tar -x *.tar will extract the files [04:06] tomd123: ok, I'll reinstall totem [04:06] nibsa1242b: ya, the second video after the commercial works, I'm watching it as we speak :) [04:06] tomd123: ok, glad to know it works for you [04:06] rand0m, unop gave the best solution. try it [04:06] rand0m, actually. cd directory && tar zxvf file.tgz [04:07] nibsa1242b: go to add/remove, search for gstreamer, (make sure to check the show all programs) and install all the codecs you see [04:07] nibsa1242b I'm seeing the same as you, getting the ad but not the newscaster [04:07] unop, will that work for *.tar.gz as well? [04:07] nikonadictk, ctrl+C to end this task, and restart it -- see if that makes a change [04:07] unop, thanks ill try fiddling see what brings it back [04:07] tomd123 nickrud: are you in FF2 or FF3? [04:07] Rhorse, .tgz is .tar.gz - just named shorter [04:07] Rhorse, in the same way .tbz is .tar.bz2 [04:08] Rhorse, so, yes to your question [04:08] nibsa1242b: ff3 [04:08] unop, oh, ok. Learn something new every day! [04:08] when I hit ctrl +c unop it popped out dpkg: error processing mysql server and now its goin again with the script.. It says its trying to recover mysql install because it failed [04:08] and now unop its stuck again at the same line [04:08] sudo grub-install /dev/hda can be done inside a live cd to install grub right? [04:08] nibsa1242b ff3, and I have all the gstreamer stuff. I'd try the vlc or mplayer plugin, but I'm short on time right now [04:08] nikonadictk, ok, ctrl+c again [04:08] nibsa1242b: I'm also using ubuntu 8.10 alpha1 :) but the gstreamer codecs are the same I think [04:08] unop yes I just did and Im having it reinstall again [04:08] What is the package that is responsible for all the files in /dev [04:08] ? [04:08] nikonadictk, ok cool [04:08] unop .. having it run that command you sent me again [04:08] tomd123: yeah, I'm using FF3 as well, ok [04:08] rand0m, I also have a problem with using a file mgr to gunzip stuff, so I usu use the console. [04:09] nickrud: thanks for whatever time you have to look into it [04:09] Munchkinguy, they are created by the kernel on the fly -- they don't belong to any packages [04:09] hmm [04:09] unop yes stuck same spot again... http://paste.ubuntu.com/25331/ .. scroll to the bottom of that pastebin to see the good stuff [04:09] crimsun: ? [04:09] ok [04:09] tomd123 nikonadictk spawning the external movie player and closing it, then trying to play gets me a frame or two, a talking head. Then no further download of video [04:09] smolloy: are you dead-set on using PA? If not, just remove that package. [04:10] crimsun: I tried, but it uninstalled ubuntu-desktop [04:10] unop I think I am missing the file /etc/mysql/debian-start [04:10] smolloy: (and, I asked to migrate to this channel, because we tend to keep the other channel as distro-independent as possible) [04:10] crimsun: reinstalling ubuntu-desktop dragged PA back in as a dependency [04:10] what command do I use to open a program INSIDE the terminal? [04:10] nikonadictk, ok, keep pressing ctrl+c to get back to the shell .. then run this. sudo aptitude install mysql-server-5.0 mysql-common [04:11] smolloy: it's not strictly necessary to retain the ubuntu-desktop metapackage. [04:11] smolloy: what were you having stability issues with? [04:11] nikonadictk, indeed -- it belongs to the mysql-server package -- dunno why it wasn't placed there properly [04:11] nikonadictk, you didn't delete /etc/mysql in between did you? [04:11] crimsun: Mostly Amarok now [04:11] what command do I use to open a program INSIDE the terminal? [04:11] sway, what program do you want to open?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [04:13] crimsun: sometimes, but I installed the latest flash beta (version 10 I think) cos I hear there were problems [04:13] rand0m, use the second directory -- you really ought to be putting your themes there [04:14] right [04:14] smolloy: you'd need intrepid's libasound2 and libasound2-plugins, then. [04:14] smolloy: do you have those installed, too? [04:14] is there another way to watch tv other than myth tv? i want to view the composite source of the card . . . .

[04:16] myh computer says i have 2 cpu's, it always refers to two cpu's... although, i opened my case and i only found one cpu! how is this possible? why does it say i have two? [04:16] shelbyscates, you have a dual core cpu [04:16] shelbyscates: dualcore cpu, or an older p4 with hyperthreading [04:16] and its a pentium 4 so i know its not dual core [04:16] unop yeah it keeps stopping at the same spot when I try to install the last command you setnt me, I think it will work once I locate a copy of /etc/mysql/debian-start .. or if I can find it in roots .trash or something [04:16] oohhh [04:16] shelby: are you human [04:16] smolloy: ok, to sanity-check, I need you to pastebin output from the following commands: dpkg -l libasound2\*|grep ^ii; cat ~/.asoundrc* [04:16] you got a Pendium D [04:16] Pentium D or something [04:16] Fryguy--: thanks! i happen to know it is a hyperthread [04:16] Fryguy--: why does it think its two? just because? im just wondering :) [04:17] nikonadictk, if you deleted the file via the command line, there is no recovering it [04:17] shelbyscates: it's how the architecture of hyperthreaded cpus works [04:17] does this dmesg output tell you anything? what does it mean? http://paste.uni.cc/19080 [04:17] Fryguy--: really? cool! :) [04:17] unop ... ooooh ouch thats a bummer so what do you suggest I do now to fix my mistake.... [04:17] Hi, My laptop is Dell 640m. When i open the webpage in Firefox, my screen always turn black and locked. What is the matter? [04:17] Varak_, thank you i found it. im new to all this [04:17] Fryguy--: thanks a lot :D [04:17] nikonadictk, what you can do is this tho. cd /var/cache/apt/archives && sudo dpkg -i --force-all mysql-server-5.0* [04:17] i just built a new system. tried to install ubuntu with the 32-bit desktop live cd. when i try to run the disk check, install, or boot with the live cd i get a repeating error. something like [numbers] buffer i/o error on device fd0.... i also have some older versions of GParted and I was trying to partition with those. they load the menu but after i selected language and keyboard, it would return something like: !!! Invalid loop location: /gparted.dat.... [04:17] yeah thats why intel didn't put hyperthreading into the quadcore, windumb doesn't regconize it [04:17] heyan: is your video card set up correctly [04:18] thanks guys :) [04:18] nikonadictk, then when you are done with that. use the last aptitude command i gave ya [04:18] crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25335/ [04:18] FAHTAW: me too good luck [04:18] does the 640m dell work in higher altitudes? [04:18] unop gotchya budy [04:18] ganjaman: actually they didn't put hyperthreading in quadcore because the core architecture uses shorter pipelines that actually cause a detrimental behavior when used with hyperthreading [04:18] where can i check it? [04:18] heyan: glxinfo | grep -i direct [04:18] fryguy: yeah but the next generation is able to do that [04:19] smolloy: ok, and amarok's xine config? [04:19] ganjaman: able to, sure, but it slows things down [04:19] Hello [04:19] direct rendering: Yes [04:19] ganjaman: the next generation is going to be more fully separate cores [04:19] heyan: not sure then, sorry [04:19] crimsun: Is that /home/smolloy/.kde/share/apps/amarok/xine-config ??

[04:20] ganjaman: did you just read a blog post somewhere? or do you actually understand chip design and cpu architecture? [04:20] ganjaman: just curious [04:21] noob question: how do I browse available Wifi networks? I tried Wifi Radar.. no luck. [04:21] mallinj: click on the network icon on the top right of your screen [04:21] hi, could anybody help me on "black screen" problem? [04:21] crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25337/ [04:21] Fryguy--: doesn't list available networks. [04:21] When my system starts up on the bootup logo the resolution is not supported it says on my monitor please switch to 1280*1024-60Htz i have gone into the menu.lst and added vga=794 but still it comes up with the same thing I am wondering if its something to do with the refresh rate. It also does the same when I shutdown any help would be great thanks! [04:21] hrm.. i can't get my background set in fluxbox on ubuntu ? [04:22] nickrud tomd123: well it sorta works... if I try to open up another vid (for example YouTube) in a tab, FF crashes, or I only get audio and no video... but its better then nothing [04:22] i just built a new system. tried to install ubuntu with the 32-bit desktop live cd. when i try to run the disk check, install, or boot with the live cd i get a repeating error. something like [numbers] buffer i/o error on device fd0... i also have some older versions of GParted and I was trying to partition with those. they load the menu but after i selected language and keyboard, it would return something like: !!! Invalid loop location: /gparted.dat..... [04:22] rand0m, sure, use fbsetbg [04:22] I should point out that Gnome displays the correct resolution fine [04:22] yeha but nehalem makes use of some core architecture [04:22] smolloy: ok, looks good. Your symptoms are not consistent with known PulseAudio issues but rather an ALSA bug. [04:22] Question: Is it possible to have Terminal highlight messages by type? Especially, "my" commands, etc? [04:22] unop, dbus-launch will create .dbus [04:22] crimsun: A known ALSA bug? (...hoping...) [04:22] 6 cores and 12 threads or something [04:23] sir_phobos, what are you doing with fd0? [04:23] smolloy: yes, particularly on newer HDA codecs [04:23] anyone know the solution to the tiny font problem in google earth for hardy? [04:23] mallinj: then your wireless card isn't configured correctly [04:23] unop: i did.. i said fbsetbg -f /myuser/mydir/mypic.jpg [04:23] in the startup thing [04:23] crimsun: Sorry, what do you mean by "HDA codecs"? [04:23] the_fafa: nothing. i am just running the ubuntu install cd and get that error when i try to install or check the disk for errors [04:23] rand0m: use feh [04:23] orbisvicis, interesting -- wonder why your directory isn't created on logon tho because dbus-launch is used somewhere in the gnome startup process [04:24] rand0m, sudo apt-get install feh && fbsetbg -f /myuser/mydir/mypic.jpg [04:24] alright unop I installed the last command without error [04:24] now should I try mysql -u root -p pass [04:24] though the ubuntu partition is deleted and merged with vista,in a dual boot system,a live cd shows the ubuntu partition and views its files.But partition list at the manual partitioning stage wont show ubuntu partition but the merged bigger partition of vista instead.. what can be done atleast to boot to vista for once without the vista cd..?would grub-install /dev/hda work? [04:24] nikonadictk, ok, one last one to make sure [04:24] smolloy: if you have a newer computer, you likely have an implementation of Intel's High Def Audio spec [04:24] hi anyone here use google earth on hardy? [04:24] sir_phobos, what install cd, and did you verify the iso before you burnt it to cd? [04:24] crimsun: Have you a link to a bug report, or somewhere with a work-around? [04:24] nikonadictk, sudo aptitude reinstall mysql-server-5.0 mysql-client mysql-common [04:24] shyal: put vista disc in, and use fixmbr [04:24] Fryguy--: Well, I reinstalled Umbuntu thinking that would solve the prob.. everything works fine except for Wifi. Maybe the Atheros drivers don't work for my card? (Sony VAIO) [04:24] crimsun: By the way, I really appreciate you helping me like this. Cheers! [04:25] gotchya unop [04:25] mallinj: they probably do, you just might need to take some extra steps to install them [04:25] vista disk? woot? [04:25] !ndiswrapper | mallinj (maybe) [04:25] mallinj (maybe): Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:25] means would grub-install /dev/hda work if the system only have vista parition in it and a deleted merged parition of ubuntu? [04:25] nikonadictk, and cross your fingers and try logging on to mysql [04:25] ubuntu 32-bit desktop live cd, ubuntu studio 32-bit alternate.... neither work and have on other systems i have tried [04:25] unop through waht method.... the command or phpmyadmin [04:25] Fryguy--: unfortunately he dont have a vista cd:( [04:25] smolloy: it really depends on your HDA hardware. `lspci -nv|grep -A1 040[13]' [04:26] sir_phobos: try safe graphics mode or the alternate install cd [04:26] shyam_k: out of luck then [04:26] nikonadictk, try the command line first to verify mysql works -- then phpmyadmin [04:26] How do I change how often fsck runs? I've got a 60GB SCSI drive, it currently runs every 37 boots, which actually happens rather fast [04:26] k [04:26] Fryguy--: was looking for any hack with ubuntu live cd.. [04:26] Fryguy: you need a vista cd to fix ge on ubuntu?? [04:26] how often do you wait before you re-post your question i know the are a lot of people before me :) just so i dont get forgotten [04:26] timandtom, use the tune2fs command -- see its manpage on how to [04:26] shyal: no, he's asking how to get vista to boot after getting rid of ubuntu from what i understand [04:26] Fryguy--: i have an alternate install cd that worked on other systems and doesn't on this system [04:27] crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25339/ [04:27] crimsun: Short paste! [04:27] !work | sir_phobos [04:27] sir_phobos: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [04:27] timandtom, if you use something other than extX .. then consult the relvant documentation for that particular filesystem [04:27] sir_phobos, sounds like your cd/dvd drive is a bit broken [04:27] Fryguy--: shyal the problem seems that the grub requires files from an earlier ubuntu /boot [04:27] nope... unop still not working.. I try to log into mysql -u root -p with my password and it does not work still access denied.... :( can you help me some more??? [04:27] right? [04:27] ah sorry, didn't realise you were writing to someone else (its late and my eyes are killing) [04:27] DistroJockey: i think it has something to do with it being SATA [04:27] shyal: grub needs linux installed somewhere to work [04:27] yeah [04:28] sir_phobos, ahh, yes, possibly [04:28] unop: I use ext3. So I just do # -c 50(or whatever I need) -U something? What do I put for the something? [04:28] When my system starts up on the bootup logo the resolution is not supported it says on my monitor please switch to 1280*1024-60Htz i have gone into the menu.lst and added vga=794 but still it comes up with the same thing I am wondering if its something to do with the refresh rate. It also does the same when I shutdown any help would be great thanks! [04:28] sir_phobos, try the alternate or another disk like kubuntu to install ubuntu. do you even have a floppy drive? [04:28] nikonadictk, unless you were asked for a password during the install the default password ought to be blank, did you try a blank one? [04:28] the_fafa: no i don't have a floppy drive [04:28] Fryguy--: but can the vista parition be splitted without loosing its data while installing a new ubuntu? [04:28] so I should type in mysql -u root [04:29] shyam_k: yes [04:29] wow how? [04:29] shyam_k: you should always make a backup though [04:29] shyam_k: the ubuntu installer will resize it for you [04:29] i am cornholio [04:29] unop just that plain command [04:29] shyam_k: or use a gparted livecd if you want [04:29] i need tp for my bunghole [04:29] timandtom, i'm not a big fan of extX, so i dont use it -- but i am guessing that this is how it goes. sudo tune2fs -c 50 /dev/blah # after making sure /dev/blah is unmounted [04:29] shyam_k: or go grab some 3rd party software like partitionmagic [04:29] nikonadictk, yep [04:30] Fryguy--: but with gparted,can we safely split it first? [04:30] shyam_k: yes [04:30] Silcon_Rat: how about booting without bootsplash ?? [04:30] ya I am getting an access denied... is there a config file I can edit or something [04:30] unop: Ah, damn. I can't unmount my only drive, correct? [04:30] Fryguy--: thats more than enough..ill check the docs.. [04:30] yeah i thought about that kyncani but i would rather have it to be honset i like the cool graphics [04:30] lol [04:30] its sad i know but i like it [04:30] nikonadict I think I had messed with the tables for the Mysql database... is there a chance those werent wiped out completly during the reinstall and are affecting my login password?? [04:30] plus i would like to learn how to fix things [04:30] unop ** [04:30] timandtom: right, you can boot another operating system and do it though (livecd or whatever) [04:31] nikonadictk: they probably weren't wiped out at all [04:31] timandtom, well you can, but not recommended - also you can complete this tune2fs command while still being live but that isn't recommended either [04:31] Silcon_Rat: ;) well, trying the different vga modes would be a good idea i guess [04:31] yeah i did that [04:31] timandtom, best to do this offline [04:31] but i have a feeling it might be [04:31] smolloy: I presume your modinfo says you're using 6stack-dig ? [04:31] something to do with the refresh rate [04:31] smolloy: sorry, modprobe -c, not modinfo [04:31] what the command to check the owner of a file i installed vmware and it's telling me permission denied when i try to run it [04:31] any idea what command it is to run it at 60Hrtz [04:32] Fryguy--, unop, Ah, dang. Not worth the effort :) Thanks though. [04:32] i have a raw unformatted partition i want to use with vmware. vmware complains that it does not have access to it. how do i give access to /dev/sda4 ? [04:32] twiztidmind: ls -l [04:32] Silcon_Rat: nope ... :/ -> i'm already out ;) [04:32] esac: #vmware [04:32] nikonadictk, try this. sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow mysql-{server,client,common} mysql-{server,client}-5.0 [04:32] sir_phobos, i found a similar problem in launchpad. several acer and dell did not work with the live cd. go for the alternate cd and install in text mode. it should work if its the same problem. [04:32] Fryguy--: my question is a generic one [04:32] esac: no, your question is about vmware [04:32] thanks for trying kyncani anyway :) [04:32] fine [04:32] esac: and it's certainly not about ubuntu [04:33] crimsun: I grepped for 6stack in modprobe -c, and got nothing [04:33] how do i gave user 'rayben' access to sda4 ? [04:33] esac: as an aside, try specifying a mount point rather than the raw device [04:33] unop it says dpkg-reconfigure: mysql-server is not installed [04:33] timandtom, if you really have to -- use that tune2fs command [04:33] nikonadictk, does it keep going? or does it halt there? [04:33] ok vmware is owned by root when i sudo it it says command not found, this doesnt make sence [04:33] esac: chown, chgrp, and/or chmod can do that. This is almost certainly not what you want to do, however [04:33] it stops and brings me backt o command line unop [04:33] twiztidmind: ? [04:33] nikonadictk, try this. sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow mysql-{client,common} mysql-{server,client}-5.0 [04:34] the_fafa: my dvd drive is samsung. in bios it says TSSROCK or something. i will try a few alternate cds and see what happens. thanks. (i'll probably be back though) [04:34] smolloy: ok. If you encounter problems still, try using position_fix=3 single_cmd=1 [04:34] heya there does somebody know how to check CPU temperature ? [04:34] spanther: lm-sensors [04:34] unop now it seems to be going through the last command you sent me [04:34] smolloy: i.e., echo options snd-hda-intel position_fix=3 single_cmd=1|sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [04:34] twiztidmind: what are you trying to do [04:34] oooh unop ITS ASKING ME FOR A NEW MYSQL PASSWORD!!!! [04:34] sir_phobos, good luck. tell the guys if its not working.. the bug is #97306 [04:34] Fryguy--: thank you :) [04:34] nikonadictk, heh [04:35] !caps [04:35] PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!

[04:36] unop using the command: mysql -u root ??? I usually connect through PHP myadmin I don't know the terminal command [04:36] Fryguy--: which gnome panel app :D [04:36] smolloy: I need to run, but you can find descriptions in modinfo snd-hda-intel|grep ^parm [04:36] spanther: no idea [04:36] aww :( [04:36] nikonadictk, try that [04:36] spanther: i don't use gnome [04:36] i installed everything into default directiries [04:36] unop phpmyadmin works [04:37] nikonadictk, nice [04:37] twiztidmind: how [04:37] omg unop you are my hero [04:37] Has anyone had anyproblems mounting USB harddrives in UBuntu??

[04:45] azn_emo_boi101: yes [04:45] Will that default it? [04:45] azn_emo_boi101: or you can just use update manager [04:45] azn_emo_boi101: Yes. [04:45] Fryguy : i got ubuntu installed - i cant get sound for quake 3 or inside web broswers like youtube.com [04:46] anyone here use x-plane on ubuntu? I'm getting "problem setting up opengl" and it dies with an incomplete framebuffer message [04:46] marvin__, Fryguy--, that command's going to run the script on every file (not just mp3s) -- i suggest making it explicit with -iname "*.mp3" [04:46] fok|zz: why are you asking me [04:46] if somebody could help me get the ati driver to work with ubuntu, i would be most grateful [04:46] Will update manager use the CD?

[05:36] jscinoz: heh [05:36] unop: Just one [05:36] jscinoz: why do you use LVM? :O [05:37] stemount^, its this: 4 velociraptor > software raid 0 > encryption > lvm > home/root/swap [05:37] tehquickness, gimme 2 minutes - let's see what i can come up with [05:37] nom nom fast :P [05:37] heh cool jscinoz [05:38] thanks [05:38] lol 4 veliciraptor. sounds like a waste of hardware to me lolol [05:38] annoying thing is... [05:38] why didn't you get 4 SSDs? [05:38] and why software raid? :) [05:38] * Fryguy-- has bets on no backup [05:38] grub2 can see boot on the raid0 array (outside the encrypted lvm) and it can see the required logical volume (main-boot) but it cant figure out its filesystem (even though ext2.mod is loaded) [05:38] well I mean cant I just replace the partition table with fdisk? There was only 1 partition that was fat32 [05:38] stemount^, nvidia fakeraid is horrible [05:39] jscinoz: you know they sell these magical pieces of hardware... [05:39] jscinoz: I know I bought a cheap HP server to play with and nearly cried [05:39] earlmred, unfortunately most SSDs arent actually living up the the speed hype. [05:39] jscinoz: they're called RAID controllers. [05:39] ===> 8.04.1 <=== where? :/ [05:39] tehquickness, take a look at photorec and testdisk [05:39] earlmred, the overhead on software raid isnt huge [05:39] jscinoz: it is with striping across 4 drives, with encryption. [05:39] DistroJockey: thanks [05:40] tehquickness, no problem [05:40] earlmred, even then, its not that bad [05:40] hell my eeepc can handle LVM (merge the 16gb and 4gb ssd) and encryption on top of that just fine [05:40] and its only got a 900mhz celeron [05:40] you must be some kind of elite hacker [05:40] earlmred, i'd doubt it. [05:40] tehquickness, sudo gpart -vvd /dev/sdb [05:40] what exactly are you doing that is so hard drive intensive that you need 4 10k drives in raid0 and actually notice speed [05:41] blind1, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [05:41] Fryguy--: transcoding HD tranny porn. [05:41] <{Sampler}> hey guys .. small question .. just upgraded both a test and a "live" system from 7.10 to 8.04 .. all seems well but samba, good shows one other case of this, anyone in here had the same prob ? [05:41] Fryguy--, video work, and to a lesser extent, I maintain a bunch of games for Debian :P [05:41] <{Sampler}> *google [05:41] DistroJockey: well... i'm blind.. lol.. thx [05:42] Hi guys, new to ubuntu here, just successfully booted the live cd on a VirtualBox VM running on OS X [05:42] r3volution27: congratulations.

[05:43] Hardy produces a start message: "Starting kernel event manager." This message is not reflected in dmesg. What program is 'kernel event manager'? I suppose that it is udev-related. [05:43] r3volution27: cool I had Ubuntu working on my Macbook using Parrallels [05:43] fryguy, thanks for helping me get my ati card to work properly it looks great [05:44] stemount^, rm -f /boot/grub/grub.cfg; update-grub2; didnt work, grub.cfg is not recreated [05:44] I only get options for 800X600 and 640X480 resolutions on the live CD, how can I get higher? [05:44] DistroJockey: God damn you are great, test disk found the lost partition and repaired the tables [05:45] r3volution27, probably install the driver [05:45] tehquickness, cool. It is a handy bit of software :) [05:45] upon: You are great as well, you certainly led me to the solution, my gratitude as well.. [05:45] r3volution27, you need to install the system to a virtual disk, then once thats done, mount the vboxguestadditions.iso [05:45] jscinoz: are you positive GRUB is installed? ;) [05:45] [GNOME] How can I read the file file:///home//.recently-used.xbel conveniently?

I recently installed a webcam with the ov51x-jpeg driver. How can I see what /dev the camera might be at? [05:51] I am going to blame Vista for corrupting my USB harddrive [05:51] tehquickness, please do :P [05:51] <_2> never mind. i'm not parsing for running displays correctly. [05:51] sshirley, what does "ls /dev/video*" say? [05:52] <_2> anyone know how to determine if :0 and :1 are both active/running ? [05:52] and how do i configure it so it will cache the whole movie 100% before playing [05:52] how can i set make to use -j5 ? i know how in gentoo but... its based around compiling [05:53] Jester45: make -j5 [05:53] doing: ps -lA | grep fire yields nothing, but when i try to launch firefox: Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system. [05:53] what option do i use in compiz-fusion to make the windows all bouncy and look cool [05:53] noah_, wobbly windows [05:53] wobbley windows [05:53] jscinoz: video0, video1, video2, video24, video25, video32, video33 [05:53] heheh, cool [05:53] sshirley, eeep.. one second [05:54] arooni-mobile: grep for mozilla [05:54] ok, now how do i get it to stop bouncing [05:54] heheh [05:54] RAdams, nothing :( [05:54] Fryguy--: is is possible to set a config or enviromental varible so that make will use that option? i have 2x dual cores but compiling on only 1 is rather anyoing [05:54] jscinoz: this is a mythtv system so I got a couple of tuners on here too [05:54] arooni-mobile: is this happening everytime? [05:55] hello everybody I need to connect my computer to the internet [05:55] RAdams, just happened after restarting the computer [05:55] RAdams, first time [05:55] can anybody help [05:55] sshirley, does cat /proc/bus/usb/devices | grep -i video say anything useful? [05:55] i need help i got ubuntuce i want to get 7.10 it aint letting me though says error returned1 or something like that how do i get it to let me get newer 1 but still be a ce? [05:55] !ask | martinzz [05:55] martinzz: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

It not playing any in web browsers but it is playing it in the movie video player ? === The_JoKeR is now known as SplinTer0616 [05:56] -.- [05:56] sorry [05:56] man they need to put an update for that problem [05:56] ciao [05:57] soooo many people have it [05:57] i cant believe that microsoft is no where near what ubuntu does [05:57] are you english? [05:57] is it fixable ? [05:57] fok|zz: yes try installing the package libflashsupport [05:57] fok|zz: is it just flash videos that you don't get sound? [05:57] fok|zz: if so, do what Jester45 said [05:57] Does anyone know how I can open a .CHM file in Ubuntu? [05:58] Install gnochm [05:58] Shoopuf: theres a number of chm viewers in the repositories. Search for "chm" andyou'll get a handful of them [05:58] jscinoz: there is nothing in /proc/bus/usb [05:58] Shoopuf, comix is good [05:58] what is the super tab? [05:59] Flannel, philwyett: Thanks, I will try gnochm and comix. :) Comix sounds cooler lol. [05:59] noah_: #compiz-fusion [05:59] sshirley, hmm not sure >_< wish i could but im not sure where to go from here, sorry :( [05:59] shoopuf: 90% chance gnochm will do what you want over comix [05:59] My 56k modem does not have free drivers in Ubuntu (I have to pay some company for the drivers...) so does anyone recommend a good 56k modem to buy that will work in Ubuntu? [05:59] <_2> noble-: crap. it's still a problem with startkde ! even when i parse the env correctly it takes over display :0 [05:59] <_2> no. [06:00] Shoopuf: any of the serial external ones should be fine [06:00] jbroome: I was thinking internal. :P Is that bad? [06:00] Shoopuf: google around for "hardware modem" that's the key. [06:00] shoopuf: 3COM serial external modems. internal: 3COM PCI modems newer than 1995 [06:00] OK thanks guys, one more question... [06:01] Has anyone else had issues with sound in Firefox on Hardy? [06:01] Short question: How do I get to the command line in Ubuntu? :P [06:01] ebiggs: in flash, or sound period? [06:01] jscinoz: when a device gets recognized, what happens? [06:01] Calaaro1: I usually go to Applications Menu > Accessories > Terminal [06:01] Shoopuf: Ah, thank you very much. ^_^ [06:01] RAdams, Well...only flash so far but I wasn't sure where to go to test other sounds in it.. [06:01] sshirley, i believe it sees if it matches a udev rule and then makes the /dev/ device for it [06:02] Thanks guys for the great support, very excited to become a part of this community. :) Bye. [06:02] ok, compiz-fusion channel is dead.... [06:02] [GNOME] How can I read the file file:///home//.recently-used.xbel conveniently? [06:02] ebiggs: sudo apt-getinstall libflashsupport [06:02] RAdams, Already installed that. [06:02] Hi eveyyone [06:02] can anyone here explain what the super button is in compiz-fusion [06:02] ebiggs: firefox version? Flash version? output of uname -r? [06:02] noah_: the windows key, usually [06:02] usually, it means the window key [06:03] i tried [06:03] jscinoz: can I tell which of these /dev/video* is mapped to that camera? [06:03] you can change that though [06:03] oh ok, it works [06:03] Has anyone used there WIIRemote on Hardy yet? [06:03] RAdams, I have an audigy 4 sound card. In sound preferences I can't get sound out of pulse audio, OSS, or many others and I think that may be the problem. [06:03] Is 200 MB enough for my Swap space? [06:03] RAdams, Especially since libflashsupport has to do with pulseaudio... [06:03] sshirley, not that i know how, the best way would perhaps be to open gstreamer-properties, go to video and input, then just go through the devices until you find which one gives the camera image [06:03] Hardy produces a start message: "Starting kernel event manager." This message is not reflected in dmesg. What program is 'kernel event manager'? I suppose that it is udev-related. [06:04] Shoopuf, how much ram is in this system? [06:04] Shoopuf: depends. it is most likely, but not ideally. [06:04] jscinoz: desktop Ubuntu 1GB ram [06:04] bullgard4: kernel event manager, among other things, creates and begins dmesg [06:04] RAdams, Firefox 3, Flash 9, 2.6.24-16-generic. 10 minute old install, haven't restarted after the initial updates. [06:04] bullgard4: hence why you don't see it there [06:04] Shoopuf, generally you want swap to be double your ram (for hibernate to work) although you could probably get away with less or none (my eeepc has 1gb of ram, and no swap and doesnt seem to run into any problems) [06:05] but becareful on the memory usage with no swap [06:05] jscinoz: Oh wow OK I will change my swap to 2 GB then... (hmmm how to do that lol) [06:05] ebiggs: iirc, i had that problem until using the -19 kernel, but YMMV [06:05] shoopuf: gparted [06:05] Thanks again [06:05] RAdams, is that one of the default updates or do I have to bother with that myself? [06:05] Shoopuf: read man gparted after installing it; you can bork your system if you just stab at it [06:06] Ebiggs: default update [06:06] Shoopuf, its not *required* but recommened. if you cannot make it bigger without extensive change to current partitions, just leave it as it is [06:06] Ok. I'll reboot and see where I get. [06:06] Ebiggs: good luck [06:06] RAdams: What program does start the program 'kernel event manager'? Where can I find a description of 'kernel event manager'? I grepped my kernel Documention for 'kernel event manager' but got no hit. [06:07] Can I copy my entire disk to an external drive, format the entire thing to dual boot another OS, then copy my ubuntu install back to the original? [06:07] RAdams, was that behavior of my sound preferences normal, or something that the newer kernel will straighten up? [06:07] Is there a way to transfer all my Windows XP Firefox cookies/bookmarks/addons to Ubuntu? === linux_ is now known as Guest64302 [06:08] ebiggs: not sure. I didn't play with it enough [06:08] Shoopuf, the desktop installer can do that automatically i believe (it asks as the last step of install i think) [06:08] Shoopuf: I believe yes, Firefox has got an import function. [06:08] RAdams, no dice. [06:09] <_2> i don't get it. i can make all desktop evnironments start on successive xservers, but not kde any help here ? or do i ask elsewhere ? [06:09] hi everybody i need a program so i can play vbr like real player [06:09] anyone can help me i cant login as root i get a segmentation fault error [06:09] <_2> !real [06:09] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [06:09] <_2> jmazaredo does sudo work ?

I'm reading on it now. [06:11] also my xorg is down [06:11] <_2> jmazaredo ok. wht caused all this fun ? [06:11] RAdams: Any more information would be appreciated. [06:11] bullgard4: one moment... [06:11] tty4 main process ended [06:11] <_2> jmazaredo ? [06:11] dunno when i woke it just hanged [06:11] jscinoz: ok, i cycled through until I found the camera at /dev/video2 [06:11] :-) [06:12] i tried restarting [06:12] sshirley, :) [06:12] jscinoz: Now I need to find the built-in mic [06:12] <_2> jmazaredo restart to runlevel one [06:12] sshirley, >_< [06:12] cant [06:12] jscinoz: thanks, so far. :-) [06:12] cant login to root [06:12] sshirley, camera should have its own Alsa device (hw cameraname or something) [06:13] jscinoz: how can i find the avail. alsa devices? [06:13] bullgard4: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/udev & man udev [06:13] now i can login to root [06:13] sshirley, amixer should list them [06:13] hello, today i'm getting some new computer hardware (new motherboard, intel core duo (currently have an AMD Athlon)) and I'm wondering will I be able to plug in my harddrive and expect ubuntu to just work on the new hardware or will I have to do anything special? [06:14] delfick: post the output of your uname -r [06:14] <_2> jmazaredo don't have to just reset the box with ctrl+alt+del and at the grub splash/prompt press [esc] select the boot listing you start on press [e] select the kernel line press [e] at the end of the line add "single" hit [enter] het [b] [06:15] RAdams, did you have any other suggestions on the sound issue? [06:15] ebiggs: you're not getting ANY sound anywhere, correct? [06:15] jscinoz: too many to go through at 1:30 am EST. :-) I'll look through it tomorrow. Thanks! [06:15] RAdams : 2.6.24-19-generic [06:15] No, everything outside of firefox works. I'm not sure if its just flash that doesn't within that or not though. [06:16] RAdams, I can hear audio on flash videos saved on my hard drive in Totem, music is fine, etc. [06:16] in logs network manager,smtpd.runlevel.xorg all says segmentation fault [06:18] delfick: should be fine, but I would be prepared to get dropped out of xorg and have to dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg or so [06:18] RAdams: k then, thnx :) [06:19] RAdams: So is the startup message: "Starting kernel event manager" equivalent to "Starting udev"? [06:19] Hola!!! hay alguien de Argentina.. o q hable español¿? [06:19] bullgard: from what I'm reading, yes [06:19] RAdams, this is 64-bit Hardy, by the way.

[06:20] thanks! gracias!! [06:20] Here we speak in English heh [06:21] ebiggs: google your soundcard and 64 bit hardy... iirc, other people had the same problem with 64 bit and audigy cards. [06:22] I just rebooted my computer and now I have no more sound. [06:22] ok [06:22] Blaqlight: !sound [06:23] !sound | Blaqlight [06:23] If anyone can possibly help me with my grub2 problem it would be greatly appreciated. Issue is as follows: [06:23] Blaqlight: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [06:23] Is there anything bad about accessing NTSF partitions through Ubuntu? [06:23] Shoopuf: no [06:23] /boot is on lvm on raid0 and is formatted as ext3, core.img has the biosdisk, pc, lvm, raid, and ext2 modules. on boot, grub2 rescue shell opens, lsmod shows that the previously listed modules are all there, and ls shows the md0 device, and the logical volume where /boot is (main-boot) however ls (main-boot) returns unknown filesystem, and thus my system cannot be booted. What am i doing wrong? [06:23] shoopuf: almost usually always no [06:23] Shoopuf: No. [06:24] somewhat off-topic, is there an appropriate channel to ask questions about the GPL? [06:25] j3tt: #linux prolly [06:25] #ubuntu-offtopic j3tt [06:25] j3tt: #gnu [06:25] j3tt: or #ubuntu-offtopic [06:25] thanks guys [06:25] get it from the source... [06:25] RAdams, is probably got the closest guess [06:25] hi [06:25] Hi I can connect to the network but not to the internet with my 7.10 any suggestions? [06:25] alright, night all. Ebiggs, if you don't find anything from google on audigy and 64 bit hardy, check your dmesg and post on ubuntu forums; i am almost certain that exact thing has happened before [06:26] how to run cricket in ubuntu [06:26] Martinzz: do you have entries in /etc/resolv.conf [06:26] Martinzz: "Can not connect" is no exact description. [06:27] no I dont [06:27] I get permision denied then I tried sudo and nothing [06:27] Martinzz: you need to add nameservers there, of the format "nameserver x.x.x.x" where x.x.x.x is a dns ip [06:28] Martinzz: if you are using dhcp it should have been populated automatically (and suggests a problem with your dhcp server), if you are using static IP it needs to be configured manually [06:28] Hi. Is there a utility that can monitor a specific program as far as what IPs/ports it makes connections to/receives connections from? [06:28] how can I tell if ip is static or not? [06:28] Sapph424: netstat will give you the information you need [06:29] Martinzz: did you configure an IP yourself? [06:29] Hi everyone, I read on the Ubuntu website that you can install Hardy on a USB Flash drive or external hard drive, so what I want to know does installing GRUB on the partition Linux is installed on(sdb1) stop Grub from being installed as the bootloader for the entire computer? and if not, can I stop it from installing on the entire computer in any way? [06:29] yes Ive been trying [06:29] I installed ubuntu 7.01 but cant connect [06:29] Martinzz: so if you are configuring a static IP yourself, you are responsible for configuring the dns entries for that IP as well [06:30] !usb | Josdell [06:30] Josdell: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [06:30] the ip I got it automatically [06:30] Fryguy: I'm not trying to install Ubuntu onmy computer, I'm installing it to a Flash Drive [06:31] Josdell: so see the second link .... [06:31] Martinzz: then something is wrong with your dhcp server, and you should figure out why it's not providing you with a dns entries. in the meantime you can manually add something like "nameserver 4.2.2.2" to /etc/resolv.conf to get dns [06:33] Fryguy: I'm not trying to do a LiveUSBPersistent Install either. I'm actually installing the real Ubuntu on a Flash drive, It's been a long ways, but I'm getting really far, I just want to know if Grub would only be installed on the USB if I installed GRUB on(Through the standard Ubuntu installer) sdb1 as compared to sdb itself. [06:33] question -- ffmpeg audio and video are not insync after the conversion - audio is way ahead of the video [06:34] any suggestions [06:34] Josdell: yes [06:34] DesiSinger: no idea, this isn't really a video encoding support channel [06:34] Fryguy: Thanks for the information, are you sure it is reliable? [06:34] Josdell: no [06:35] Fryguy: well it's worth a shot, so thanks, bye [06:36] I cant get this work [06:36] its killing [06:36] Should there be any reason why my battery with Vista lasts around 5-6 hours, but Ubuntu only says it is going to last me 3? [06:36] I give up [06:36] im switching to xp [06:36] tehquickness: might be estimating incorrectly [06:36] Martinzz: have fun [06:36] gotcha [06:37] anyone know how to install ibuild in ubuntu hardy? [06:39] if /var/log/messages* don't have an entry in /etc/logrotate.conf; does that mean that these collections of logs are not being rotated? [06:40] or is there some default rotation that the files will be subjected to. [06:40] nano_: Are they in /etc/logrotate.d/? [06:40] Flannel, nope [06:41] Flannel, so ur saying that files that are rotated are then placed in logrotate.d? [06:42] Flannel, whats the difference between /etc/logrotate.d/ entries, and in /etc/logrotate.conf [06:42] nano_: logrotate.d is included in logrotate.conf === noah_ is now known as wiltonstone [06:43] to anyone, just wonderind how to display the motd by default when i open the terminal??? [06:43] nano_: You'll notice inside logrotate.conf there is an include directive for /etc/logrotate.d/ [06:43] mecha: add what you want to display in your ~/.bashrc file [06:43] Flannel, yes i see it "include /etc/logrotate.d" [06:43] so what is the best p2p program for ubuntu? [06:43] wiltonstone: i like rtorrent [06:44] Fryguy, i did the sudo pico motd and edited there, what should i do? [06:44] is it good for music and movies? [06:44] mecha: add what you want to display in your ~/.bashrc file [06:44] wiltonstone: yes [06:44] thx [06:44] hi [06:44] Fryguy, how? [06:45] edit the file, add a command that display the motd [06:45] rtorrent is good for a CLI app, it needs a couple more improvements before it can better the GUI ones though [06:45] Flannel, im just confused because in my /var/log directory; im having a whole bunch of message.x.gz files being collected....this would imply that logrotate is acting on them....but there is no entry for message-logs in /etc/logrotate.conf or in /etc/logrotate.d [06:45] can someone answer me a question [06:45] Hey, I've partitioned my Drive so I can run Windows for gaming. It's roughly 50gig for each drive. Is ther a way I can access files on the windows partition from Ubuntu? I'm guessing there is, so if someone could tell me what to google for I'd be very appreciative [06:45] what is the correct syntax to upgrade inkscape from 0.45 to 0.46? i tried apt-get upgrade inkscape [06:45] Fryguy, what is the command? [06:45] Darkness: You need to add NTFS support to your Ubuntu OS [06:45] mecha: no idea, motd probably [06:46] can you [06:46] Fryguy, didn't work [06:46] nano_: messages rotation gets taken care of by sysklogd in cron.weekly [06:46] pingui: you haven't even asked the question yet [06:46] Darkness3477: what version of ubuntu [06:46] (Xubuntu) ok big mystery: why aren't my media controls working ? (play/pause, fastforward, rewind, stop)(as well as my Calculator button) [06:47] when i download a *tar.gz (for example: wbar-1.3.3.tar.gz).. what do I then do with it to get wbar installed ? [06:47] heeee osrry i wanted to know what the funciopn of the sync now button on the new opera [06:47] Stargazer: #xubuntu [06:47] nano_: Basically, it takes care of its own log rotation [06:47] Fryguy--: 8.04 [06:47] pingui: #opera [06:47] Darkness3477: ntfs support is enabled by default [06:47] Flannel, is message the only type of log that takes care of its own rotation? [06:47] <__yy> rand0m: tar -zxvf thefile.tar.gz to extract it [06:47] i guess 7.10 does not have the 0.46 update for Inkscape, only on 8.04 [06:47] Ok, so how do I access those files? lol [06:47] I just installed vsftpd to my Ubuntu and I wanted to know how I can disable Anonymous FTP access and allow myself, one user, to have access to the whole system. I want to have a password to protect from other users accessing the FTP. [06:47] my opera version is 9.51 [06:47] Darkness3477: mount the directory using the mount command [06:47] I need to convert WMA to WAV, MP3, or OGG, but soundKonverter, ffmpeg, Audacity, and dir2ogg have all not worked for me! [06:48] nano_: I have no idea. You could quickly look, to see if theres anything else in /var/log that is rotated and isn't in logrotate [06:48] KK thanks. [06:48] any one know how to install ibuild using svn? [06:48] hi all, what's the lowest spec nvidia card that'll handle compiz? [06:48] a 6 series? [06:48] 7 series? [06:49] Crshman: probably even lower than that [06:49] YAOMTC: do you have mplayer-nogui or mplayer installed with the codecs? [06:49] Fryguy--: o really? awesome [06:49] Crshman; i've had a 5200 working fine with medium settings of compiz [06:50] how does it do under max settings? [06:50] crimsun: I have mplayer, but I'm not sure I have all the codecs [06:50] Crshman; the cube and a small lag in desktop rotation .. 1280x1024 [06:50] ah [06:50] very cool [06:51] well heck, a 6600 can be had for dirt cheap, so i suppose i'll just stick with one of those [06:51] thnx guys/gals!

[06:52] <__yy> rand0m: tar -zvpf in that case [06:52] zachera: #vsftpd, this isn't an ftp server support channel [06:52] <__yy> rand0m: you should read the tar manpage for what those options are doing [06:52] Fryguy--: I went there; nobody answered in 20+ minutes. [06:53] crimsun: How do I get the mplayer codecs I need? [06:53] oyea?????? [06:53] YAOMTC: mediubuntu for w32codecs, etc. [06:53] zachera: that doesn't make it any more OK to ask in here. we don't know either [06:53] sorry, medibuntu [06:53] !medibuntu [06:53] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [06:53] !medibuntu | YAOMTC [06:53] YAOMTC: please see above [06:53] buntu????

[06:55] baah sorry [06:55] ill use pastebin next time [06:55] hi, how do i change the resolution of the logon screen? [06:55] snarkster: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and set the resolution of the login screen to be the first one on the list [06:55] !resolution | snarkster [06:55] snarkster: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [06:56] <__yy> rand3sk: oops, should have been -xvpf [06:56] no i just need to know my username and password [06:56] Fryguy--: I used the synaptic package manager to install rtorrent, but i dont know where it is [06:56] pingui: whoami will tell your your username, there is no way to determine your password [06:56] wiltonstone: it's a command line tool, run rtorrent from the terminal [06:57] there doesn't seem to be a program that does anything other than xml/html websites. anyone know of something else? [06:57] Blaqlight: ? [06:57] fryguy thank you for the info, but my desktop is 1024x768 but the logon screen is either 8x6 or 6x4 [06:57] there is not a way to search for files on it? [06:57] snarkster: right, so change the order of the resolutions listed in /etc/X11/xorg.conf so that 1024x768 is listed first [06:57] I need something like frontpage for building websites. [06:58] wiltonstone: where, on rtorrent? no, for torrents you need to have a .torrent file already. search on the internet [06:58] Fryguy--; that will make the login/boot change? there is a way in grub to specify screensize. [06:58] Blaqlight: nvu [06:58] bastid_raZor: grub settings only affect console resolution, gdm runs in X [06:58] icecat is the continuation of iceweasel? [06:59] Fryguy--: I am looking for a p2p program where i can search other people's computers for files [06:59] wiltonstone: frostwire or emule [06:59] Fryguy--; i see, i was misunderstanding. thanks. [07:00] Fryguy--, thanks :-) [07:01] ok now that thats fixed ima going to restart the X server [07:01] later [07:03] hi, is it possible to install onto fakeraid from alternate installer? i know you can do it on the desktop installer (but you need to apt-get install dmraid first) but dmraid appears to be missing frmo the alternate installer [07:03] how do i ensure that i have the source for my kernel (not just the kernel-headers) installed and linked correctly? [07:03] Varak_: install the kernel souce package [07:03] ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build shows something [07:04] but /lib/modules/`uname -r`/source does not [07:04] !kernel | Varak_ [07:04] Varak_: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages === Administrator is now known as dushkoo [07:05] ok so i successfully extracted wbar-1.3.3.tbz2 through terminal - anyone know how i use (or atleast launch wbar )?

[07:32] fenrisx, it's not an add-on, it's a different flavour [07:33] bash: /home/james/wbar-1.3.3: No such file or directory [07:33] Fryguy--, [07:33] Ok cool [07:33] rand3sk: what did you do [07:33] Fryguy--, bastid_raZor ah nm, turns out it was edge resistance which i wanted (and had disabled) [07:33] nvm.. i typed ~/wbar-1.3.3 because i thought thats what you were telling me to do [07:33] Fryguy-- is one any better than the other? kde/gnome [07:33] mahesh: it would be better to go to the one that actually helped u (Fryguy--) [07:33] rand3sk: you want to move it there [07:33] fenrisx: no [07:33] how do u view the CPU usuage in ubuntu?? [07:34] mahesh: don't come to me, i don't know anything [07:34] KoolD: use the top command [07:34] alrighty thanks [07:34] so just put it in /home ? [07:34] <__yy> KoolD: open a terminal and type top [07:34] KoolD: right click panel, "Add to Panel" , then click "System Monitor" [07:34] rand3sk, cd & sudo mv /wbar-1.3.3 . [07:34] rand0m: /home/james/ yes [07:34] KoolD; or you could look into playing around with conky [07:34] rand3sk, err, cd && sudo mv /wbar-1.3.3 . [07:34] s3a: ok thankyou [07:35] Fryguy--; heh, home james.. that reminds me of a movie. :) [07:35] bastid_raZor: ok [07:35] y does firefox have proprietary artwork, like y is i t needed when its free license already protects its contents including artwork?? [07:35] ugh, permission denied while trying to drag & drop the file [07:35] s3a: it's source code is under a free license, not it's other assets [07:35] how do i move somethign in terminal [07:35] rand0m: mv [07:36] rand0m, cd && sudo mv /wbar-1.3.3 . [07:36] rand0m: scroll up, we pasted to like like 3x how to do it [07:36] thanks [07:36] y cant the other assets be protected by such a license? like y all this tension and problems to start things like iceweasel for example? [07:36] i read every line you guys gave me.. im lost [07:36] Hi, i have trouble with my internet speed. I'm using wifi connection, it works well, but the download speed after 10-30 seconds drops down. It starts with full speed (1-1,5mb/s) and drops to 30-40kb/s. If i stop the download, and after a minute return to it, it has full speed again until a half minute. I'm using wicd with madwifi config. Can anyone help me? [07:36] s3a: ask mozilla [07:37] just saying "and move it to /home/james" doesn't mean much to me.. i wouldn't know how to move something via terminal commands [07:37] Fryguy--: aww man lol im lazy [07:37] #tbg youplala [07:37] guess rand0m can't see me [07:37] s3a: like Fryguy-- said its source is free and thats why debian can only use the source and cant use the firefox image/name or anything to do with firefox they have to rename it [07:37] unop, i can [07:37] but do i type exactly that ? [07:37] Am I doing something wrong? I downloaded GnoCHM to read .CHM files but there's no scroll bar to scroll down in the "content" window pane! :( [07:37] s3a, read the mozilla license - it'll all make sense then [07:37] and that'll make it end up in /home/james/wbar-1.3.3 ? [07:37] m having difficulty with ltsp-build-client in ubuntu, i use mirror command to point to iso of 8.04 cd, but it fails to fetch with Package.gz in restricted directory, does so with extramirror set to standard repo, anyone seen this? the Package.gz does exsist in the folder [07:38] rand0m, yes [07:38] ok [07:38] Hi, my screen always turns black when i open webpage. [07:38] im just trying to understand what im doing instead of blindly follow [07:38] sry if im annoying [07:38] could anyone help me? [07:38] Jester45: Fryguy--: unop: y doesnt ubuntu have iceweasel or icecat or wtv? [07:38] K-Ton: is this with any internet source? what about using a webbased speedtest and is the downloading via P2P or http/ftp [07:38] it is very annoying [07:38] does anybody use apt-file? i can't get it to update because it says it can't get http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-updates/Contents-i386.gz [07:38] s3a: no idea [07:39] s3a, because ubuntu has made concessions about firefox and has come to an agreement with mozilla -- while debian has to adhere to the DFSG and social contract [07:39] s3a: because ubuntu isnt limited like debian ubuntu can enclude firefox [07:39] I am working on reduce the power-consumption of my notebook [07:39] is there a command I can check how many watts my notebook is consuming at the moment? [07:39] mr_daniel: no [07:39] my screen always turns black when i open webpage. it is very annoying [07:39] Jester45: yes, it is. I have tried http, ftp downloads. It does drop when i'm using the update manager. I also tried my neighbor's connection, and it happens there too. [07:40] Anyone use CHM Viewer? [07:40] Shoopuf, yes, but what is the real question? [07:40] Jester45: unop: would it be a good brainstorm idea to make iceweasel or icecat or wtv the main browser at least ONLY in free software only mode? (wen u press f6 twice on boot) [07:40] Fryguy--: ok [07:40] K-Ton: and this is with a fast server. my dedicated server gets under 100kb/s on the repo some times [07:41] unop, its not working.. i got an error.. how about i just delete that folder and we'll start over ? [07:41] <^White^> 0_0 [07:41] rand0m: what is the error [07:41] <^White^> Cucbku ! [07:41] This might sound like a silly question, but I'm only new to Ubuntu. There's a few audio options in the sound menu. How do I know which controls my actual sound? I have a SoundBlaster Live! 24-bit card. And is there any way to relabel them to make sure I know which is which? [07:41] <^White^> )) [07:41] Fryguy--, mv: missing destination file operand after `/wbar-1.3.3' [07:41] Try `mv --help' for more information. [07:41] unop: I downloaded CHM Viewer to view a .CHM file... There's two vertical panes: the "sidebar" and the actual "content" pane. But the text goes off the bottom off the window in the "content" pane and there doesn't seem to be any way to scroll down to read the rest of it?? [07:41] Calaaro1: trial and error, and no [07:41] s3a: if you dont like firefox dont use it... its there by defualt because most users want it or dont care [07:41] rand3sk: sudo mv /wbar-1.3.3. ~ [07:41] Fryguy--: Thanks for putting it bluntly. :P [07:42] I am trying to put code in wine to have it run a program on a cd [07:42] Shoopuf, you can try another chm viewer, see if it does it too [07:42] how do i do that [07:42] Jester45: well i do like it but i want to support this free software ideology [07:42] what's the path [07:42] Jester45: yes it is a fast server, i have tried many ways. [07:42] free software?! [07:42] HAH. [07:42] Free software will never be successful. [07:42] Gazingson: if wine is installed correctly, you should be able to just double click on the setup file on the cd [07:42] just took me to another line [07:42] earlmred: stay on topic, please [07:42] earlmred, tell that to google [07:42] Jester45: I have had this problem for half year [07:42] rand0m: so then it's successful [07:42] well fryguy then something is wrong [07:42] ok cool [07:42] rand0m: cd ~/wbar-1.3.3 [07:42] earlmred, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [07:42] let me try again [07:42] s3a: google Gnusense [07:43] avis: you take it to ubuntu-offtopic. [07:43] Fryguy--, nice, k im in there [07:43] earlmred: then leave this channel and BTW free software runs most of the internet... freenode this irc network is free software [07:43] rand0m: and since you decided to make that stuff owned by root, sudo chown -R james ~/wbar-1.3.3 [07:43] s3a, personally, i don't think it's something worth hassling about - firefox is free, it fits into ubuntu's definition of free software [07:43] Jester45: netcraft confirms linux is dying and IIS is winning. [07:43] earlmred, why waste time of others, just because yours is of no value (so it seems). [07:43] earlmred: last warning. Stay on topic. [07:43] Fryguy--, if its owned by root, its a mistake.. does that line correct it? [07:43] earlmred, serisously offtopic [07:44] !ops | earlmred [07:44] earlmred: Help! Channel emergency!

[07:44] Fryguy--, k done.. it just took me to the next line again [07:44] rand0m: yay [07:44] rand0m: now type make [07:44] have fun with your noobuntu. [07:44] s3a, i don't think so [07:44] Fryguy--, lots and lots of error.. ill pastebin [07:44] K-Ton: does this only happen with this computer/ linux and have you tried axel? its like wget but multi connections [07:45] i'm sorry if i called the ops too early he was just being ugly [07:45] avis: no worries [07:45] unop: :( is it possible to get it tho? like if i compile it maybe? [07:45] lol that guy was funny wasting his time in here [07:45] unop: am i asking stupid questions? [07:45] http://paste.ubuntu.com/25380/ [07:45] i got it dude [07:45] ty tritium [07:46] rand0m: hahahaha, this is gonna be not fun at all [07:46] mahesh: k, thats good :) [07:46] Fryguy--, haha oh no what'd i do ? [07:46] rand0m: especially since i dont' use ubuntu and don't know the names of all of the development packages you need [07:46] Jester45: only with this computer, it's a notebook. I have used debian, and it worked neither. I don't know what axel is, can you tell me more please? [07:46] No problem. [07:46] s3a, well, as far as i know, it is only available to debian -- you could download the debian source package and compile it for your system - but be prepared for any surprises [07:46] s3a: do you know how to share files using pidgin [07:46] rand0m: sudo apt-get install x11-dev or something (maybe xorg-dev) [07:46] should i do that from the main dir ? [07:46] mahesh: conversation-->send file [07:46] rand0m: do it from wherever [07:47] k [07:47] sudo apt-get install xll-dev [07:47] err lol [07:47] wow [07:47] rand3sk, you could just do this. sudo apt-get build-dep fluxbox [07:47] rand0m: i have typed FAR FAR worse into irc channels :/ [07:47] what is a good torrent downloader? [07:47] renoboy: i like rtorrent [07:47] Jester45: i have tried the speed test at http://www.speedtest.net/, ping is okay, but my speed is 300-400 kbps. My connection is 20mbps [07:47] renoboy: also check out azureus, transmission, and deluge [07:47] renoboy: and ktorrent [07:48] s3a: my friend says he is not able to share file with me from gtalk (he's using windows) [07:48] K-Ton: have you used wget? its a simple commandline downloader but axel opens multipule connections just run axel url://ofsomelargefile [07:48] ahha k building dependcy trees now [07:48] i can't get over how rad you guys are [07:48] a few years ago when id come around linux rooms asking for help, i'd get flamed like ten [07:48] what is recommanded when you have a totally fresh hardy install... any changes I need to do...? [07:48] lol [07:48] K-Ton: is this speed lan speed also? or just when connecting to an internet source [07:48] Why does Firefox take a longer time to start under Ubuntu than under XP? [07:48] frold: www.ubuntuguide.com [07:49] Bacta, xul is a hog :P [07:49] K-Ton, don't forget to divide 20Mbps by the number of contenders on that line [07:49] well is there anyway of fixing this? [07:49] i <3 my 20mbps connection [07:49] ? [07:49] Bacta: how long does it take in windows, and how long does it take in ubuntu [07:49] Fryguy--: seems to be .org :D [07:49] Bacta, give it a bit of time. After a while it should boot up quicker [07:50] frold: ok [07:50] about 3 seconds in XP, 8-10 in Ubuntu [07:50] frold: thats very opionated but i suggest making sure your audio works and video is working good then get multi media codecs if you watch movies or listen to music [07:50] isn't there a package that caches things to boot them faster? [07:50] like preload or something [07:50] Bacta, stability >> system overall speed, i would prefer anyday [07:50] you could always use Opera, very fast [07:50] nano_: Ubuntu is about as stable as XP for me. both crash [07:50] a ha.. not that i've done that build-dep fluxbox thing [07:50] ? [07:50] typing 'make' actually did something [07:50] evince crashes all the time [07:50] taking my entire system with it [07:51] rand0m, not? [07:51] Bacta, when XP crashes it is a mystery, when linux crashes you can determine exact cause and fix it [07:51] *now [07:51] its all good [07:51] Bacta, y does your system crash? [07:51] rand0m, right :) [07:51] after "make" whatdo I do? it seems to have .. made everything ? [07:51] :P [07:51] Bacta, have you checked your system logs? [07:51] nano_: I've had a bug filed for evince several weeks now. No fixes yet [07:51] rand0m: sudo make install [07:51] hello the chan [07:51] k done [07:51] rand0m: now type wbar [07:51] rand0m, well, you should really be following the instructions as per the README / INSTALL file [07:52] Bacta, so your system crashes when you are trying to use evince to view pdf's [07:52] does anyone know if compiz + video will work better with intel cards in the next release of ubuntu/ [07:52] unop, oh ok i didnt know i was back on track [07:52] nano_: Certain pdfs take it's member usage upto 1.5 gigs. [07:52] L815: seems to work fine in this release [07:52] it's a well reported bug but there have been no fixes [07:52] mahesh: i dont no wat to say but sometimes file transfer has problem for me 2 with certain ppl [07:52] what is member usage? [07:52] rand0m, you should be ok -- but it's a good practise to follow the right instructions [07:52] mahesh: use an email to send stuff for now [07:52] *memory [07:52] practice* [07:52] Fryguy--, it works decently, except when I move the video or a menu pops up it turns blue ;o [07:52] unop, : i tried doing that first :p.. s'what got me into a mess [07:53] s3a: its all right thankyou [07:53] for some reason, i 2nd guess, 3rd guess, and then need to ask questions [07:53] rand0m, i seriously doubt that :) [07:53] are there really 1207 users here??? [07:53] mahesh: sry [07:53] 1235 is what i got :p [07:53] in any case... [07:53] another error [07:53] Blue_Shoe12: vast majority are idle, but yes [07:53] Blue_Shoe12: many r probly inactive [07:53] rand0m, whats that? [07:53] haha, lovely crew [07:53] people say Linux is so much more stable etc. but so far that's not been my experience :( [07:54] L815: "you're doing it wrong" [07:54] anybody talking come from australia? [07:54] s3a: ok... its becoz both of them has to use the same type of messenger application [07:54] crdlb, what do you mean? [07:54] L815: with EXA, you should be able to use Textured Xv [07:54] Bacta, Linux is -- gnome isn't - big difference [07:54] which means no blue overlay [07:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/25382/ [07:54] crdlb, you mean using x11 output? [07:54] L815: no [07:54] Jester45: on LAN the speed is acceptable,300-400kb/s [07:54] well KDE isn't any better [07:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/25382/ unop [07:54] mahesh: no, my gf uses windows and i get no problems with her but sometimes with others i have problems [07:54] Bacta: linux is just a kernel, the software you choose to run on top of it affects it's stability [07:54] and will probably be forked soon [07:54] crdlb, xgl seems to work, but it's buggy when fullscreen, opensuse's xgl works a tad bit better [07:55] on my system that is [07:55] L815: you're not using that now are you? [07:55] s3a: ok.. [07:55] ok, rephrase: Why is Ubuntu more unstable than XP? [07:55] mahesh: im just tryin to not point u in wrong direction.. [07:55] crdlb, no i'm using aiglx now [07:55] rand0m, sounds like wbar is using an old IMLIB API - meaning, it's probably too old to run [07:55] K-Ton: if your getting 300-400 kb/s on lan thats all you can get with internet as your internet traffic goes though the lan [07:55] Bacta: be more precise [07:55] L815: Xgl is dead, and suse seems to do AIGLX rather badly sometimes :) [07:55] rand0m, what is wbar? [07:56] Bacta: maybe you have a hardware configuration that ubuntu isn't good with? "unstable" is a pretty generic term. What metric are we using to measure it? [07:56] crdlb, well it's the past now, because I'm back to ubuntu :) [07:56] s3a:: thats ok [07:56] Bacta: that would be the system its running on linux is much much more stable for me [07:56] unop, a dock/launcher similar to that of os-x.. im using fluxbox right now & can't handle just the one bar it comes with [07:56] hi [07:56] i have to admit that ubuntu's aiglx is ahead of suse's :P [07:56] rand0m: you should check out avant-window-navigator too [07:56] does anyone know how to upgrade from ubuntu 8 hardy to ubuntu ultimate 1.8? [07:56] L815: do you have an Option "AccelMethod" line in your xorg.conf (Device section)? [07:56] i did.. i have it on my gnome desktop, but couldn't get it going with fluxbox [07:56] daYZman-w: ubuntu ultimate is a completly unsupposed version of ubuntu [07:56] daYZman-w: that's no upgrade [07:57] ok im out [07:57] unsupported* [07:57] thank you bye [07:57] crdlb, i'll check when i boot up ubuntu , currently not on it [07:57] Hi everyone, I have two partitions on my drive, one boots with GRUB, One boots with syslinux. How do I make it that the one with GRUB boots and the syslinux doesn't, can I do this by taking the boot flag off of the syslinux partition? [07:58] rand0m, i would use AWN if i were you - or use something similar like fbpanel or idesk [07:58] I have ebox firewall installed but cant access its GUI [07:58] L815: if it has an AccelMethod XAA line, that would explain why it's using the hardware overlay instead of textured video [07:58] Jester45: no, for example with d4x download manager can download with 1,8mb / sec, for a minute, or for more, but then it slows down too. And it really downloads the data. And if i stop it, and return, it downloads again fast. [07:58] unop, i tried using awn.. couldn't get it going with fluxbox [07:58] rand0m, why won't it play nice? [07:58] unop: i think avant needs a compositor running. fluxbox = no compiz = no compositor [07:58] it seems to install just fine [07:59] crdlb, if it is there, do I remove it or replace it with something else? [07:59] rand0m: try running xcompmgr, it might fix things [07:59] hmm [07:59] L815: but to answer your original question, I think that may improve in intrepid, particularly since the radeon driver supports textured video now, so they can work the kinks out a bit more thoroughly [07:59] i read all that in online tutorials [07:59] isnt xcompmgr buggy? [07:59] how would you go about changing the font color on the main panel in ubuntu ? [07:59] Jester45: i have ran today apt-get update, it says i have to download 100mp updates, i clicked okay, and it downloaded 1mb/s, and half way it slowed down. [07:59] L815: yes [07:59] what does it mean when ubuntu locks up and the caps lock and scroll lock lights on the keyboard flash on and off? [07:59] i did sudo apt-get install xcompmgr [07:59] L815: either remove it or change it to EXA [07:59] buuut not sure how to use it if i need to [07:59] rand0m: lol [07:59] rand0m: i'm completely guessing btw [07:59] crdlb, i'm thinking it will improve in interprid, i mean it did for hardy :) [08:00] Hi everyone, I have two partitions on my drive, one boots with GRUB, One boots with syslinux. How do I make it that the one with GRUB boots and the syslinux doesn't, can I do this by taking the boot flag off of the syslinux partition? [08:00] Fryguy--, lol its all good.. your guess is way better than mine [08:00] !repeat | Josdell [08:00] Josdell: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [08:00] Fryguy--, is it still being developed? [08:00] L815: no idea [08:00] crdlb, thanks for the help :) [08:00] Does anyone know if AMD ships their programming manuals like Intel does? [08:00] L815: EXA is the big factor in this, since textured video cannot work with compiz using the old XAA mode [08:00] Jester45: i'm using ubuntu for a year, and sometimes the speed is okay and stable, and sometimes it's not. [08:00] Hi, I am using aptproxy on my work, It works. but new updates will not be updated on client machines [08:00] and EXA used to be very slow [08:01] K-Ton: the ubuntu servers are very busy as i said my dedicated 100mbit server gets under 100kb/s its just the ubuntu server cant handle 50,000 people downloading from it at major speeds. [08:01] unop, fbpanel & idesk.. do u know if those work with fluxbox ? [08:01] rand0m: yes [08:01] rand0m: the fb in fbpanel stands for fluxbox [08:01] cat: hey: No such file or directory [08:01] cat: how: No such file or directory [08:01] cat: do: No such file or directory [08:01] cat: i: No such file or directory [08:01] cat: install: No such file or directory [08:01] cat: ubuntu???: No such file or directory [08:01] oh duh lol [08:01] scort: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:01] crdlb, the video plays normally with compiz, only when I move the player, the video output stays in place (causing the blue screen), until the window is stationary, then the video moves to the new area. [08:01] rand0m, i use fluxbox and idesk [08:02] screen? [08:02] anyone know how to solve this issue with vsftpd? http://pastie.org/228449 [08:02] Jester45: i understand it, but i have this issue everywhere. [08:02] not a big problem, just gets annoying sometimes [08:02] cat: ubuntu???: No such file or directory [08:02] L815: yep, that's because it's using a hardware overlay to put the video directly on the screen, instead of a more modern method [08:02] rand0m, screen? [08:02] sry.. screenshot ? [08:03] crdlb, hmm , i read many solutions to use x11 or xv output (maybe it's the same?), but the video is blocky when enlarged :/ [08:03] rand0m, errm, gimme a sec [08:03] rand0m: lol you don't want to see my screenshot [08:03] how to fine current availabe device nod names ( such as cdroms or hard drives) [08:03] crdlb, I'll just suck it up until interprid, or Kde4 is less buggy :) [08:03] L815: "X11" output means draw the video with no acceleration whatsoever [08:03] Fryguy--, : may I? im curious to see what you tenured guys use as a setup [08:04] crdlb, that makes sense [08:04] ali__: check /etc/fstab for cdroms and stuff, check df for currently mounted devices, and fdisk -l to detect drives and partitions [08:04] rand0m: k [08:04] Shalom all! [08:05] crdlb, regardless of the issues, to me the video playback seems 'crispier' than windows, which is always a plus [08:05] rand0m: http://fryguy.rattlesnake.ath.cx:81/screenshot.png [08:05] rand0m, http://tinyurl.com/5c6n6e [08:05] Ubuntu is not detecting my iPod. It has always worked before, however, this is a fresh partition and this is the first time i've plugged said iPod into this partition [08:05] Suggestions? [08:05] K-Ton: well if your LAN speeds are the same its something with your network be it the driver under linux the card your wireless router the wireless signal strength. if other machines work fine then its the driver under linux or the card. if its external try using it on a diffrent machine. if you dont think its the wireless card and your router support ethernet try using a wired connection [08:05] saljs, did you try using rhythmbox? [08:06] thanks Fryguy-- [08:06] L815: Yes, but the problem lies with the fact that the iPod is not being detected by the computer. It's not in ~/media or on my desktop. [08:06] Fryguy--, : LOL [08:06] saljs, ahh my mistake , i missread [08:06] rand0m: yah [08:06] No problem bud [08:06] saljs, there is a good number of ipod specific things i the repo. one in particular is a ipod diagnostic of sorts, text based, that might be useful. lsusb might be useful too just to see if it even sees it. might try lsusb [08:06] Jester45: this is a linux-only problem, under windows it's working fine. [08:07] unop, : is that idesk just on top of the default (but customized) bar ? [08:07] !mp3 [08:07] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [08:07] avis: It's not detecting anything I plug in now. I think I might just need to repartition. [08:08] rand0m: like i said, you don't want to see my screenshot [08:08] saljs, i think its odd that you just reinstalled and it stopped. wouldn't think reinstalling would be necessary though might try lsusb first [08:08] saljs, wouldn't be necessary, sorry [08:08] [h]ardopc sounds familiar.. something to do with quake 3 when i played back in the day.. idk [08:08] rand0m, idesk is what draws the icons , just the icons -- the bar is drawn on top of the wallpaper using imagemagick in a script i wrote [08:08] saljs, check your /etc/fstab (i think that's it) [08:08] shouldn't nautilus be able to get rid of a read only file ? [08:09] saljs, I mean see if there is a listing for mounting your ipod [08:09] btw good evening ladies and gentlemen [08:09] K-Ton: are you using ndiswrapper? or a not dont yet linux driver [08:09] I recently replaced my broken motherboard and now when I do a large file transfer over the network, my network connection stops working until I reset the interface. Any suggestions before I reinstall? [08:09] CrackWhoreBob: deletion is writing [08:09] allow me to introduce myself [08:09] oh [08:09] Hello ne one on [08:09] saljs, i think there might be issues with redetection like if it were plugged in when you reinstalled. i'm thinking in the cases where its disconnected and reinstalled, it would pick it up alright. not sure what a fix would be though [08:09] Jester45: I don't know, i'm using the default driver what is built in ubuntu 8.04 [08:10] avis: i think that's the deal. [08:10] rand0m, idesk does not draw the bar tho -- it's actually meant to draw desktop icons -- but i got creative and made this [08:11] i'm curious if anyone has gotten eve-onlne working in hardy with sound ? it looks awfully neat [08:11] Convert .uif to a .iso with ubuntu ? ? [08:11] avis: Yes, I have seen a few people running it. [08:11] K-Ton: im going to say its a flaky driver that isnt working so good. try getting a newer driver if possible thats the only suggestion i have other than using a new card [08:12] I created a wrong mountpoint named "music" in /media now when I delete it its gives me error "you dont have privilage" how can I delete that !!! [08:12] ? === Biolunar_ is now known as Biolunar [08:12] gparted doesnt resize ntfs partitions?! [08:12] Jester45: thank you, i'm going to install ndiswrapper [08:12] rand0m, this is actually what idesk does - http://troumad.developpez.com/linux/serveurx/icewm/ecrans/idesk1.jpg [08:12] kushalsejwal: use sudo [08:12] fryguy: okay and which command??? [08:12] "how can i delete that?" ha ha [08:12] kushalsejwal, if you unmount it with sudo you wont have to touch the contents which would be liked to a actual working device if its mounted [08:13] kushalsejwal: make sure whatever you have there is unmounted, then sudo rm -rf /media/music/ [08:13] CrackWhoreBob: What don't you understand? [08:13] Jester45: after installing this driver have to I do something? Will it be default? === Syntux_ is now known as Syntux [08:13] kushalsejwal: sudo rm -r /media/ [08:13] unop, oh just puts icons on the desktop [08:13] avis: I just created this new mount point with mk dir there is nothing in that [08:13] its empty [08:13] K-Ton: make sure your card is supported. also if your using a opensource driver check to see if they have bugs or a newer version is out. also if you feel like it make a bug report your self [08:13] Does anyone know if Ubuntu works on AMD Duel cores yet?, last time i tested, it didn't work so well without a bit of messing around and even then it crashed after half an hour :( [08:13] hi everyone, how can I choose what partition on an USB drive to boot, I'm trying to get a GRUB partition to boot over the syslinux partition. [08:13] unop: i was curious,so built wbar on hardy,works fine. fwiw i missed the whole convo [08:14] kushalsejwal, you can do something like sudo umount /dev/sdc1 [08:14] K-Ton: i dont use wireless so i cant help you with that [08:14] rand0m, right, but you can put the icons wherever you like and it'll remember those positions [08:14] CrackWhoreBob: What do you mean nautilus won't identify it? [08:14] Jester45: okay, thanks everything. [08:14] Rat409, are you saying you got wbar built on hardy? [08:14] it won't pick it up [08:14] anyone know a good place to go to ask hardware questions? [08:15] i open nautilus and it doesn't see it [08:15] unop: yes [08:15] so i cann't delete it [08:15] its just file on my desktop [08:15] i'm in fvwm atm but have normal hardy gnome with several wm's [08:15] Rat409, wbar fails on rand0m's machine for some odd imlib reason -- you might like to give him a hand [08:15] CrackWhoreBob: If its read only, you can't delete it anyway. Where are you looking? [08:15] nomopofomo: #hardware [08:15] nomopofomo: freenode makes channelname guessing easy :) [08:16] unop: says he needs imlib2-dev [08:16] why cant i resize my drive?? (im respecting space limits) [08:16] unop: the readme [08:16] whatsanyone here fimilar with kde ( i know in wrong room) [08:16] cool :) [08:16] !anyone | f3rr311 [08:16] !ask | f3rr311 [08:16] f3rr311: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [08:16] f3rr311: 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. :-) [08:16] i am looking on my desktop [08:17] why cann't i delete read only [08:17] Rat409, errm, we installed all the fluxbox requisites - that includes imlib2-dev too -- he was able to build fine, just that the binary fails [08:17] i got a bunch of files that are read only that i can use but not delete now [08:17] i recently had virus breach awhile back [08:17] ok am having a issue when i logout reboot or shutdown using the kde logo button and hiting shut dow ect.. [08:17] rand0m, why don't you talk to Rat409 here, he seems to have gotten wbar installed fine [08:17] Does ubuntu work on AMD Duelcore? [08:18] hallucinative: yes [08:18] i take that back [08:18] hallucinative, yes [08:18] i don't know [08:18] it could just be guy playing with me [08:18] Rat409, you've had success installing wbar on fluxbox ? [08:18] i can still use the files but i cann't get this one off my desktop [08:18] i did make then sudo make install then ran it as normal user,it didn't generate a user-config so used defaults from /usr/share/wbar,i did copy /usr/share/wbar/dot.wbar to /home as .wbar [08:18] CrackWhoreBob, to delete files you need to be able to write to them - deletion is a write operation [08:19] so how can i write this one [08:19] I'm loving the nick [08:19] lol [08:19] CrackWhoreBob, give yourself permissions to do that -- right click on the file, properties - permissions .. [08:20] it goes to a black screen with my mouse pointer only and if i try to restart x it make mouse go away and then it just sits ther [08:20] Sorry to ask this again but can anyone give me the result of uname -r from the server and destop versions of Ubuntu [08:20] i was wondering if it were possible to source compile (easily) all the packages on a ubuntu system or if there was some sort of repository that had had optimized binaries for your particular architecture? [08:20] it is supose to show a bacwards loading bar [08:20] ok [08:21] Hi. How do I set the "Hidden" attribute on a file on my FAT32-formatted thumbdrive? Is there some command line utility for manipulating Windows attributes (Read-Only, Hidden) on a FAT32 drive? [08:22] cellofellow: i'm sure theres something in mtools that will do it [08:22] ok, I'll look at that [08:22] Flux-D, that is a silly request -- it could be anything on another person's machine -- not everyone is running the same version of the linux kernel - some old, some new, some not so old or not so new -- what are you actually trying to do? [08:22] unop you rock bro lemme try it now [08:22] cellofellow: mattrib iirc [08:23] CrackWhoreBob, you puzzle me [08:23] no one knows anything about optimized binaries or source compiling eh? [08:24] trajan, sounds like you want to run gentoo instead [08:24] trajan: acts weird, thinks it's working with floppies. I have no floppy drive. [08:24] unop: i do actually [08:24] unop: i just wondered if ubuntu had similar capabilities [08:24] unop, I am just looking for the default info, I am planning on compiling a new kernel, and wanted to see what one ubuntu default uses [08:24] trajan, why compile all packages? that's a waste of time (well, not if you have it) -- takes a good few days [08:24] unop: and i'm not trying to troll [08:25] howto found what grafic card I have and howto get the proper drivers? [08:25] Flux-D, packages.ubuntu.com should tell you [08:25] frold: easiest way is to just use teh hardware drivers panel [08:25] unop, whats the package name? [08:26] # insmod dvbloopback.ko [08:26] insmod: error inserting 'dvbloopback.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module [08:26] how do i fix? [08:26] unop: because with all of the optimizations in my gentoo setup i've noticed a pretty significant performance increase ( at the cost of waiting forever for stuff to compile) [08:26] trajan, ubuntu allows you to build stuff from it's source packages -- if you're clever enough, you can script something on top of apt/dpkg [08:26] Flux-D, linux-image [08:26] sounds like a waste of effort to me [08:26] unop: something similar to source rpms in the redhat world? [08:26] trajan: source .debs :P [08:26] trajan, yes [08:26] unop you are the man to talk to [08:26] unop: :> [08:26] i am sorry just getting tired and frustrated [08:27] unop: cool app wbar uses 3 mb ram [08:27] i work late and need to get some sleep [08:27] unop: thanks thats what i was after cheers [08:27] will be back to shoot the bull [08:27] If you're into the whole ricing thing though you're probably better off sticking with Gentoo [08:27] maybe contribute to the community because i will be around for awhile [08:27] LSD|Ninja: thanks bud i'll keep it under consideration [08:29] Wow i got ran over [08:29] Rat409, my idesk uses 4 - but i've got quite a few icons [08:29] unop, so if I install the linux-image-2.6.24-16-server or linux-image package, then reboot, and select it from grub I can get the old version back ? [08:30] Flux-D, indeed [08:30] Flux-D, but beware the server image is optimized for server machines -- not ideal for desktops [08:31] unop: yes,i've used it before idesktool is nice with it also a gui iirc [08:31] LSD|Ninja: when I go til Hardware drivers, I have a restricted ATI driver that I can enable [08:31] unop, my box is in a datacenter, they compiled their own version of kernel and use it with ubuntu 8.04, I would like to use the ubuntu default one, will this also work for that? [08:31] frold: so enable it :) [08:32] CAN Someone help me Please [08:32] out of curiousity, is pretty much everything in ubuntu done in a gui of some sort? [08:32] Flux-D, yes -- but you should choose the appropriate one for your machine and the tasks it does - is it a server machine? [08:32] f3rr311, ask your question [08:32] ihave [08:32] trajan: moreorless [08:32] Flux-D: the current is 2.6.24-19 for desktop [08:32] Its up there ^^^ [08:32] well, how do I know if its the best support grafic driver for my grafic card? [08:32] <__yy> trajan: can be but doesn't have to be [08:32] trajan, yes, since it is catered for the end-user -- but you are not obliged to use a GUI [08:32] LSD|Ninja: that's pretty convenient, no loss of flexibility? [08:32] I want to remove old kernels. What do I search for in synaptic? [08:33] thanks Rat409 [08:33] trajan: you still have to use the terminal for more than I'd like but most of that stuff is outside the scope f the target audience anyway [08:33] well, how do I know if its the best support grafic driver for my grafic card? LSD|Ninja [08:33] trajan: if you want flexibility you use Gentoo, Slackware Debian proepr or whatever === FRiEd|BnC is now known as FriedCPU [08:33] ok am having a issue when i logout reboot or shutdown using the kde logo button and hiting shut dow ect.. [08:33] FriedCPU: o/ [08:33] unop, yes server install, then I installed ubunut-desktop on it for gui and using nx to view gui [08:34] it goes to a black screen with my mouse pointer only and if i try to restart x it make mouse go away and then it just sits there [08:34] it is supose to show a backwards loading bar [08:34] Flux-D, right, but what does your machine do primarily? serve content or cater to your desktop needs? [08:34] LSD|Ninja: i see [08:35] now i'm curious to see how well some of these gui tools work [08:35] if i get the server install, is all i have to do is apt-get ubuntu-desktop to get a gui working? [08:35] unop, kinda both, gui is usually off though but nx runs if I need gui [08:35] L815, yes [08:35] i'm assuming they have stuff for at/cron, grub, init, etc etc [08:35] trajan: I can't get mattrib actually working :( [08:35] Flux-D, then i would say - use the server kernel [08:35] unop, hmm what about wireless access before installing a gui? [08:35] cellofellow: the last time i used mtools was probably 8 years ago sorry [08:36] L815, you'll need to use a non-GUI way of getting it up [08:36] im using kde but there are no ppl in kubuntu that can help atm [08:36] I don't know how to get it to access my USB drive (sdb1, using drive J or Z insists on being non-existant sdb4) [08:36] cellofellow: i dont know if theres anything better now for dealing with dos stuff [08:36] unop, oh okay, thanks :) [08:36] cellofellow: it doesnt come up a lot for me [08:36] unop, so once again grab the server kernel deb, install it reboot and select the new kernel from grub, does this also get me header files to comppile stuff? [08:36] probably not, seeing as it's a rare thing [08:36] cellofellow: what's the problem with it though? [08:37] cellofellow: other than it just doesnt work :P [08:37] Rat409, u there? [08:37] Flux-D: yes [08:37] trajan: keeps accessing non-existent /dev nodes. [08:37] L815, you'd use /etc/network/interfaces for non-gui of wireless. i think you can man /etc/network/interfaces, google helps too [08:37] Rat409, is that hardy or intrepid? [08:37] Flux-D, don't manually download and install -- use apt-get -- since it handles all the dependencies -- yes, reboot and you should be able to choose the new kernel -- no, it does not get the headers to compile stuff -- you need the linux-headers package [08:37] hardy desktop version [08:38] trajan: got it to work, used a symlink for sdb4 pointing to sdb1. [08:38] avis, thanks, i think i just might do a server install :) [08:38] cellofellow: :> [08:38] cellofellow, what? [08:38] Rat409, default ubuntu desktop isntall ? [08:38] fooled the program, so who cares? [08:38] Flux-D: yes [08:38] cellofellow, errm, that's really crazy [08:39] could someone help me out setting up a new printer ? [08:39] cellofellow, why don't you just operate on /dev/sdb1 instead of doing this? [08:39] heh kinda it should read the same partition table as everything else [08:39] i have a laser brother hl-2140 [08:39] Rat409, from packages.ubuntu.com I see linux-image-2.6.24-18-server as latest [08:39] but hey if it worked it worked [08:39] unop: huh? [08:40] I am working directly on the disk, not an FS. [08:40] Flux-D: yes and i said i used std desktop version it upgraded 2 days ago to -19 via apt [08:40] Rat409, ah ok so its an update [08:40] Flux-D: yes default was -16 [08:40] cellofellow, if you are using mtools -- you need to configure mtools to point J or Z drive to the right device -- not go about creating random symlinks [08:41] Rat409, okay cool thanks again [08:41] cellofellow, i believe the mtools config file is at /etc/mtools.conf [08:41] unop: I couldn't figure it out, [08:41] unop: oh, the conf file? I'll do that next time. :) [08:41] While this sounds like hilarious irony it's annoying.. trying to install windows with virtualbox and.. my screen glitches out, bunch of colors, grid looking thing and I can't do anything but restart.

[08:48] <__yy> MiddleOfNowhere: I suggest you read the man page [08:48] right Dezine and there is a key sequence combination when ctrl-backspace fails, to help in the proper shutting down and restart of your system. i'll get a link. i dont have the solution to your problem though.

[08:50] ctx144k, guess you didn't look too hard eh? :) http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ [08:51] unop: Those are 8.04.1 as well [08:51] ohh sheesh [08:51] :) [08:51] excuse me [08:52] unop :) [08:52] Dezine, one possible solution, if it gets to the point where you might pull the card, if its ati or nvidia, you can use the unsupported envy package, to compile in a very recent driver for you. at your own risk. note that if you use it and it works, you'd have to use something like sudo envy -t for to start if after kernel upgrades. its worth a shot, if your considering retiring hardware [08:52] Dezine, you'd use envyng-gtk from the repos, the ones floating around are unsupported [08:53] im having difficulty with ltsp-build-client in ubuntu, i use mirror command to point to iso of 8.04 cd, but it fails to fetch with Package.gz in restricted directory, does so with extramirror set to standard repo, anyone seen this? the Package.gz does exsist in the folder [08:53] avis, I think I need a new card, kind of odd for it to do that. It's done it with Windows too [08:53] here's a brainbuster, for some reason my flash stuff stopped working, i cant see youtube videos anymore [08:54] i think it is because i initialized compiz-fusion effects [08:54] maybe [08:54] how can I get a US web proxy working? someone told me to go get Tor and...

[08:54] wiltonstone, i've installed the libflashsupport package in hardy for and it helps things like sound quitting in flash, but the occasional firefox dies still happens every once in awhile. i've found that for myself using that package is necessary [08:55] Tor is an app to annonymize your surfing and net use, is that what u want a proxy for? [08:55] hi i need to copy a dvd9 to two dvd5. which tool should i use? [08:55] the tool should be able to ignore bad sectors [08:55] sorta. I just want websites to think I'm in the USA.

[08:58] SELTERBEATS, /join ##lmms [08:58] im in germany [08:58] avis: i am still seeing just a white box instead of video [08:58] Umm, can someone go in there to make sure I'm in the right place. Cuz I think I am.... [08:58] gerhard, try dvd fad decrypter in wine [08:59] trajan: man and then?? [08:59] wiltonstone, i'm sorry i dont remember the original problem i'll scroll up === codered is now known as onealphacharlie [08:59] gerhard: euphemism [08:59] SELTERBEATS, you are there [08:59] TtyS2: squid [08:59] gerhard, try dvd fab decrypter in wine* [08:59] yessss [08:59] but as i have also windows installed i just might use that [08:59] How do you know? [08:59] gerhard: what ever blows your hair back :> [08:59] SELTERBEATS, whois [08:59] dvd fab decrypter should do the trick [08:59] wiltonstone, flash isn't playing ? you have flash installed ? flashplugin-nonfree ? [09:00] yeah, i installed that [09:00] hey.. is this hardware check page reliable at all? http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ only I put my hardware into it and it says yes, my firewire card is supported, yet my laptop begs to differ, refusing point blank to allow the firewire card to work. What went wrong? [09:00] someone told me to use Tor because I asked how to get a working USA proxy, because none of the ones I'm finding seem to work. [09:01] i'm sorry wiltonstone its a mystery to me, maybe somebody else knows [09:01] Chaotic_Descent: tor works pretty good [09:01] Chaotic_Descent: although really slowly [09:01] Sweet [09:01] any gurus on that have a minute [09:01] great. that site you gave me leads to more proxies that don't work. or I'm doing something wrong. [09:01] avis, i had flash working a while ago, but since then i have made some changes, ill figure it out when I'm more sober thanks for the help [09:02] I know how to search for them. I just can't tell if any of them work. maybe I should get rid of this stupid proxy plugin and just do it straight to firefox. maybe the plugin is screwing up. [09:02] Chaotic_Descent: afaik tor only needs privoxy but i know jack and shit about ubuntu and how things work in it. i can say i have tor happily working on other distros [09:02] Okay so this is the support channel, but are there support channels for dufferent categories or no? [09:02] i have a tor plugin for firefox :> [09:02] hello, I'm trying to debug LDAP authentication by SugarCRM, how can I know if there are ldap packets come to my LDAP server, iptables or sth ? [09:02] SELTERBEATS: This is a support channel for Ubuntu [09:02] SELTERBEATS: what do you need help with? [09:03] yeah. I was hung-up on how to install privoxy... [09:03] Are there different one's [09:03] Chaotic_Descent: install or configure? [09:03] SELTERBEATS, you need to try and get a /list of channels somehow you can try /list or /list -min 15 -max 200 or /list ubuntu* etc [09:03] trajian, try http://xerobank.com/xB_Browser.php [09:03] yeah. how to install. [09:03] does squid have a user interface, or purely cli? [09:04] Chaotic_Descent: i dont know how ubuntu's package management setup works as i've never used it. [09:04] yay my sabayon dvd is nerly finished burning [09:04] So many questions.....why are your names yellow...are you mods? [09:04] i hope i like the system [09:04] TtyS2: it's all cli [09:04] thanks [09:04] Chaotic_Descent, there is one specific line in privoxy that you need to uncomment it references socks-4a forwarding for 127.0.0.1 or localhost. its documented somewhere [09:04] SELTERBEATS: when someone says something that contains your nick, it gets hilighted [09:04] jessica: i betcha you will :> [09:04] I never understood the difference between the package manager and the add/remove programs. [09:04] jessica: portage is kinda nice [09:05] Chaotic_Descent, sorry it should be in /etc/privoxy/config if i remember correctly [09:05] Oh haha [09:05] so is apt (comming from ubuntu) [09:05] Chaotic_Descent: add/remove is a simplified version of a package manager. [09:05] Chaotic_Descent: It only shows a small subset of the programs available [09:05] guess I should just use the package manager all the time then. [09:05] Chaotic_Descent, sudo apt-cache search string is very useful from the command line [09:06] that would explain why I can't FIND things in add/remove programs. [09:06] :> [09:06] jessica: i never got along with the debian way of doing things personally :P but it's a personal taste [09:06] ah ok [09:06] i've heard good things about apt/dpkg [09:06] Chaotic_Descent, i dont use it very much myself however i think to see a broader range of things avilable you have to further define your software download preferences in the upper right drop down [09:06] what ever they call it :> [09:07] yer its dpkg and apt [09:07] :) [09:07] thanks, im going to run dvdfabdecrypter on win [09:08] grrr. Tor's just messing up my connection to adultswim.com. -_-; the internet has no countries! [09:08] its a bit offtipic but, who knows how much fabric softener to put in a washing machine [09:08] jessica: #ubuntu-offtopic not here, thanks [09:08] damn [09:08] and why the ubuntu offtopic channel [09:08] :S [09:09] jessica, this channel is for the support of ubuntu specific things only, anything that doesn't belong here goes to -offtopic [09:09] jessica: i thought fabric softner went in the dryer [09:09] jessica: one sheet of bounce should do it :D [09:09] ah ok [09:09] not the liquid kind [09:09] lol [09:09] wtf [09:10] i thought all women were born knowing these things [09:10] http://www.downy.com/en_US/index.jsp [09:10] lolz [09:10] ahah [09:10] Aggggggg [09:10] lol [09:10] i cant fricking logout of kubuntu l;olz [09:11] Chotic, try http://www.downy.com/en_US/index.jsp [09:11] well, looks like Tor is cockblocking me.

And xfwm4 window manager. [09:44] i ask for help ladies?

For instance when you use compiz, that is done by just changing window manager, not environment [09:46] The people with GeForce 4s were doing better but Linux performance wasn't why I bought the 9500 Pro so I didn't really care [09:46] !group [09:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about group [09:46] laughtear, This is not payed customer care service.

[11:01] :O [11:01] Obi_Bong_Kedoobi: you know exactly what you typed, and what you meant by it [11:01] (.Y.) [11:02] c.hu [11:02] Obi_Bong_Kedoobi: pardon ? [11:02] (.Y.) [11:02] Obi_Bong_Kedoobi: what does (.Y.) mean ? [11:03] what is wrong with fook, i mean, seriously, as much as is wrong with the world, why be so anal? === xxxxxx is now known as Guest22370 [11:03] but, i digress [11:03] meh [11:03] ikonia, yes, /dev/raw1394 is present [11:03] Obi_Bong_Kedoobi: because it's bad language - you don't need to say it, as you said - so much wrong with the world - why use bad language [11:03] when i shall choose the partion under the isntallation it says that i only have 8 mb free space, but when i check my harddisc now i have 45 gb free space, anyone knows what the problem can be? [11:03] anybody there?? [11:04] I find the bible bashing puritans more annoying than the bad language actually [11:04] CorpseFeeder: that a good start, so the device is still there. Now Ive not used the application your using do I don't know if this is possible, but can you point your application at that device ? [11:04] like i said, friend, like i said [11:04] lol [11:04] LSD|Ninja: and that is also not allowed in here, so not needed [11:04] its all good [11:04] lol [11:04] * Obi_Bong_Kedoobi agrees [11:04] is there a way to make gnome use "ionice -c 3" for disk operations (e.g: nautilus copying etc.) [11:05] * Obi_Bong_Kedoobi agrees with LSDNinja that is [11:05] he he [11:05] Almindor: I don't know/think you can do that as default [11:05] Upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10. It just installed libc6 and now everything freezes. I can ping, connect to ssh port, but nothing else. Ideas? [11:05] ikonia, I don't know what you mean. I can point the camera at the computer, but I think that is just being silly. [11:05] that's a shame, copying stuff from say NTFS really kills usability [11:05] hi, I want to ask a question about how to user GtkTextBuffer in GTK. === fReAkY[t] is now known as freaky[t] [11:06] * Obi_Bong_Kedoobi looks at the bo_g and remembers he has to go. "Peace be with you." [11:06] I want get the signed "changed" for GtkTextBuffer [11:06] Almindor: I could well be wrong, but I can't see any option for it, that obvious, you may be able to do something from within gconf [11:06] when i shall choose the partion under the isntallation it says that i only have 8 mb free space, but when i check my harddisc now i have 45 gb free space, anyone knows what the problem can be? [11:06] Guest22370, you better search for a development channel [11:06] CorpseFeeder: I mean tell the application to use that device file [11:06] thank you [11:07] ikonia, well.. if "nautilus" process was the author of the copying window process (and that one actually does the copying) then starting nautilus with ionice would be enough [11:07] #freebsd [11:07] bumblebee, free space inside of a defined partition is not the same as a space unallocated [11:07] ikonia, No. that was my original problem I asked about. Nothing shows up under the ieee1394 tab in Kino, so I can't "point to" any device. [11:07] bumblebee, you need to shrink your existing partition so that space becomes unallocated, free for a new partition [11:08] joaopinto ok, how do i do that? [11:08] CorpseFeeder: I don't have kino (it's a kde app is it not ?) so I can't explain to you any better, but basiclly is there a "device" menu in kino that you can say --> /dev/raw1934 [11:08] bumblebee, use manual partition during the installer.. selected your windows partition and resize it to a smaller size [11:09] CorpseFeeder: the constant Jul 6 18:26:39 dalek-laptop kernel: [ 1267.460238] ieee1394: Node changed: 0-01:1023 -> 0-00:1023 [11:09] Jul 6 18:26:39 dalek-laptop kernel: [ 1267.460258] ieee1394: Node suspended: ID:BUS[0-00:1023] GUID[08004601031b8582] [11:09] ikonia, I have no idea. I am using gnome, and Kino and this same camera works faultlessly on my desktop PC with a PCI firewire card running hardy. [11:09] thats quite a worry [11:09] hmm damnit ionice is root only [11:09] CorpseFeeder: ahh ok, so it's not a kde app, one moment then [11:09] can't even start transmission with it automatically :( [11:09] Hi . I have a program that is supported specifically for redhat , i managed to install it on ubuntu and it runs fine. only problem is with the gui , the menus are showing squares instead of text. when i run the same program on redhat , the menus are showing fine... can anyone direct me to a solution ? [11:09] Almindor: ionice is a process control, its sensible that root owns that [11:10] Almindor, you can use ionice on a running process with -p [11:10] ikonia, not for starting new process, doesn't make sense [11:10] avi_me, what program is that ? [11:10] Almindor: yes for starting new proceses, %100 perfect sense [11:10] ikonia, what does the "Node changed" thingies mean? Is that when I was turning the cam on and off and unplugging it/plugging it in? [11:10] synopsys vcs-mx [11:10] Almindor: why should you a normal user be allowed to ionice your stuff over someone elses [11:10] ok, no idea :P [11:10] joaopinto ive tried that, and i select the harddrive, choose fat32 or nts, then /windows and when i select ok it comes that somethings wrong, dont remember excactly what it says [11:10] ikonia, 0% sense, if I have the right to execute the process then I have the right to make it use less disk [11:10] hi [11:11] guys [11:11] how are u [11:11] CorpseFeeder: in kino, in preferences under ieee can you select /dev/raw [11:11] !enter | j1647 [11:11] j1647: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [11:11] Almindor: no, thats not how unix systems are designed [11:11] ok [11:11] Almindor, you have rights over the process.. not over the entire disk I/O [11:11] because that is a shared resource [11:11] ikonia, so a typical user won't be able to tweak his own processes because "that's not how linux is designed"? I can understand going to -c 1, but -c 3? [11:12] Can I have Visual Effect enabled for two users on the same host that are both logged in? [11:12] ikonia, No. The entire preferences window is blank except for a drop down selection button which is empty of all devices [11:12] Almindor: thats correct, a use can't tweak SYSTEM settings [11:12] ikonia, going to -c 3 should be allowed for users, period [11:12] CorpseFeeder: I'd make a guess then (just a guess) that your firewire bus has hung [11:12] | [11:12] Al_Fuego, a user wont be able to tweak system resources.. because he doesn't own the system, which is pretty logical [11:12] ops, was Almindor [11:12] Almindor: thats your opinion, the majority of the world would disagree [11:13] no actually the majority of desktop users would agree, especially if they want gnome to not freeze every boot [11:13] CorpseFeeder: I'm guessing (again just a guess) something to do with the quick sucession of active/suspend changes [11:13] Almindor: nope - it's the way it is, because it works for the majority, however this isn't really an ubuntu issue to discss in here [11:13] what type of fps shoukd i be getting fro fgl_glxgears [11:14] f3rr311: depends on your system, the drivers, how compatible the drives are with your card/the system [11:14] Almindor, you need to learn something about Unix or operative systems in general.. the ionice utility is not related in any way to gnome [11:14] ikonia, should I try hitting it? Sometimes that will fix firewire card problems.... doesn't it? [11:14] Can I have Visual Effect enabled for two users on the same host that are both logged in? [11:14] joaopinto, I never said it was [11:14] CorpseFeeder: may want to take a reboot - start again and see if the problem is identical [11:14] 5343 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1068.600 FPS [11:14] Almindor, there may be an issue on the application side.. gnome/whatever that you are trying to resolve with an OS level tweaking [11:14] 7286 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1457.200 FPS [11:14] joaopinto, my point is that I should be able to automate starting a process with lower io priority as a user (higher is another thing) [11:14] f3rr311: we don't need to see that [11:14] ikonia, I have done the reboot thing several times already.... no luck. [11:14] Almindor, so your conclusion that ionice should be changed to help gnome users.. is pointless [11:14] thats with the fglx from adept [11:14] CorpseFeeder: and it behaves the same way [11:15] CorpseFeeder: as in starts working but then drops out [11:15] joaopinto, you assume too much [11:15] Almindor: joaopinto I suggest this is not the best place to discuss this, perhaps take it to ubuntu-offtopic ? [11:15] friends ! there is a turkish language's chat server ? [11:16] !tr | j1647 [11:16] j1647: Turk ubuntu kullanıcıları, Türkçe yardım ya da geyik için #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde. [11:16] joaopinto: his point is that ionice -c3 should be allowed as user just the same way "nice -n 19" is [11:16] ok thanks [11:16] D [11:16] :D [11:16] ikonia, No. It refuses to work at all. It only partially worked for a few moments when first I started to fiddle with it about an hour ago, then it stopped and won't come back at all. [11:16] Can I have Visual Effect enabled for two users on the same host that are both logged in? [11:16] well im tring to get a issue fixed and i was told that this is the place to go [11:16] stapel: sure [11:16] saschahl, thank you, someone finally got it [11:16] f3rr311: who told you what, and what is the issue [11:17] ikonia, I am out of time. I have to go. Bye [11:17] ikonia: have you tried it? [11:17] saschahl, my point about gnome was just an example of pretty logical usage (ionice transmission so it's torrent checking doesn't kill everything else) [11:17] ATI drivers from kubuntu [11:17] Almindor: you can make ionice setuid if you want [11:17] adept [11:17] yes, I'll have tro [11:17] stapel: not directly no [11:17] joaopinto maybe i should mention that i share the harddisc with windows xp [11:17] f3rr311: but what's the issue [11:17] it's a 1 user desktop so.. :) [11:17] Low fps [11:17] ikonia: it does not work for me [11:17] asdf [11:17] Almindor: the drivers are ati drivers, check the compatability with the drivers [11:18] stapel: how is the second user using the desktop ? [11:18] ikonia, wrong nick [11:18] Almindor: sorry [11:18] :) [11:18] ikonia: what do you mean? I do fast user switching between the two. [11:18] f3rr311: the drivers are ati drivers, check the compatability of the drivers with your card on the ati website [11:18] stapel: oooh I see [11:18] is there a way to install the most current transmission? [11:18] they are comapatible [11:19] stapel: I don't know how fast switching would effect that [11:19] f3rr311: I didn't mean compatible, but check for known issues [11:19] f3rr311: they are closed source drivers from ati.amd.com - so ubuntu can't change them or "fix" them [11:19] well the driver in the synaptic are like 4 months old [11:19] f3rr311: yes thats right [11:19] ikonia: Is that a bug perhaps? Where can I report it? [11:19] stapel: launchpad.net [11:19] Hey guys I have an ubuntu server. If I leave an ssh connection from my home ubuntu desktop to my server I come back to it in the morning to find: Read from remote host stoned-hacker.co.uk: Connection reset by peer Connection to stoned-hacker.co.uk closed. how can I stop this from happening ? [11:20] f3rr311, if you need a newer driver you can use envygn, anyway for your card model the one available on the repositories should be fine [11:20] dusty: most common - change the time out on your firewalls / isp's firewalls [11:20] l815, which version of ubuntu are you using? [11:21] j3tt, hardy [11:21] ikonia, I don't run a firewall on my home box, and the server just has basic iptables firewall (which i've tested by keeping off ) and it still happens. [11:21] i understand that but i cant top 100 fps on fgl_glxgears [11:21] should be around 2000-4000 [11:21] j3tt, the version installed is 1.06 and on the website it's at 1.22 [11:21] dusty: where is the server, on the same network or across the internet [11:21] 1000 * [11:21] f3rr311, have you installed the fglrx driver ? [11:21] Yes [11:22] l815, doesn't the website have an updated .deb package? [11:22] f3rr311, have you checked that it is enabled form the glxinfo output ? [11:22] across the internet [11:22] at a datacentr [11:22] +E [11:22] yes [11:22] dusty: ok - so the ISP's going to have peremeter firewalls in front of them [11:22] j3tt, nope :/, i'll probably just compile from source [11:22] yeah and so will the DC. [11:22] ok i see what your saying, its out of my control. [11:22] l815, you can get the latest version from getdeb [11:22] l815: what feature do you want from the later version [11:22] sucks [11:23] dusty: contact your ISP/DC they may change it for specific hosts [11:23] joaopino, ahh i forgot about that site, thanks! [11:23] dusty: I've had it changed many times, thats the point of firewalls [11:23] ikonia, it has built in ipfilters now [11:23] its enabled and running [11:23] ikonia, i doubt my broadband ISP will the DC may. [11:23] so there will be no point if my BB ISP does not. [11:23] dusty, if you need to have a terminal session safe from the network drop you can use the utility "screen", that will allow you to resume the ssh session [11:23] dusty: well, your ISP may have nothing to do with it, it may just be your DC peremter firewalls, so try it [11:24] dusty: joaopinto's suggest is also excellent [11:24] dusty, also it maybe network issues not related to configuration, but just some peak outage [11:24] some ISPs are not that reliable for continuous connections [11:25] also i have to keep running this sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M for my rt2500 wireless card [11:25] rt2500 :/ === pteague_work is now known as pteague_laptop [11:25] Yeah I am well aware of screen, I just don't like having to reconnect [11:25] i know :) [11:26] that hardest card to get to work lol [11:26] f3rr311, have you tried to install the driver from ATI's site ? If yes you may have caused some conflict with the repos driver.. your card should be supported without major issues by the current ubuntu repos drivers [11:26] i know [11:26] its installed and running [11:26] Hi all [11:27] f3rr311, glxinfo | grep -i Direct [11:27] i was told by someone in here that i should get a lot highier fps that 100 [11:27] how do i format my flashdrive [11:27] it directly rendered [11:27] lane, gparted [11:28] kkk [11:28] lance* [11:28] f3rr311, are you running a fullscreen glxgears ? [11:28] no [11:28] ok, so yes, you should geat more than 1K fps [11:28] how do i format my pen drive [11:28] what about [11:29] fgl_glxgears [11:29] how to configure performance mode? (I want ubuntu to run on max performance no powersaving stuff) [11:31] OK... I dual-boot Windows XP and Ubuntu. I've got XP on an NTSF partition and Ubuntu on an EXT3 partition. Anyway, I want to have a folder for my schoolwork that I can share between the two operating systems, so I can work on my homework in either OS... Any suggestions? [11:31] Shoopuf: make a partition of fat32 [11:31] Shoopuf: set up a second machine as a file server :P [11:31] Shoopuf: the best would be to create a 3rd partition that's NTFS and have shared data there [11:32] Shoopuf: both xp and ubuntu can use fat32 safley [11:32] i want to format removable disk [11:32] second issue [11:32] lance: ok - so what's the issue [11:32] sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M i have to run this to make the card achive 54 mbps [11:32] i am unable to format that [11:32] lance: whats the problem when you try ? [11:32] lance: format to what filesys? [11:33] how do i find that [11:33] lance: open "gparted" from the applications menu [11:33] Thanks guys, BRB gonna make a FAT32 partition. :) [11:33] lance: you can then select your disk and make a partition and add a file system [11:33] ya gparted is easiest appproach [11:34] where is that gparted [11:34] anyone? how to configure performance/dynamic settings on ubuntu? [11:34] u may need to install it [11:34] lance, open terminal and "sudo apt-get install gparted" [11:34] lance: open synaptic from system -> administraton menu and search for gparted then install it [11:34] goto add/remove from applications menu [11:34] ok i will [11:34] 3 diff ways :) welcome to linux [11:34] :D [11:34] Can I make that FAT32 partition within Ubuntu or should I run my random-Linux-distro-system-restore-CD Gparted? [11:34] but you can't deny terminal is fastest :P [11:35] Shoopuf: sure you can [11:35] especially if you have gnome-do [11:35] Shoopuf: ubuntu can make a fat32 partition, no issue [11:35] Good afternoon all! Does anyone have recommendations for video-editing software? I have copied LOTR from DVD to the harddisk and now I want to make it so that the movies can be added to one single movie file. In cas anyone asks - it's because my dvd-player is broken! [11:35] is preload effective now-a-days? [11:35] terminal of course this is Ubuntu :) [11:35] man, I can't believe I almost left her for suse LOL [11:36] Muiske: mencoder [11:36] ubuntu feels like homw ;D [11:36] *home === [Chel]Steve is now known as Stephen === Stephen is now known as Stephen` [11:36] Ubuntu do get a lot more right than other desktop type distros [11:36] Hello, I just did a grub-install on a partition with a file system on it, any chance to repair that? [11:36] ikonia: thanks, I'll try it! [11:36] ubuntu does what firefox is known for [11:36] anna: grub doesn't touch your file system [11:36] 这个是什么东东阿 [11:36] basics out of the box, the rest is free for all [11:37] l815: leak memory like a sieve? [11:37] 聊天室吗 [11:37] !jp | caiqixian [11:37] caiqixian: 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい [11:37] ikonia: Well, ok... but I can't mount it anymore. [11:37] LSD|Ninja, lol, not that much alike [11:37] hi [11:37] anna: what happens when you try to mount it ? [11:37] nobody knows how to set cpu performance in ubuntu? or is it not possible at all? [11:37] if only Opera looked better under gtk :/ [11:37] audio_: what do you mean by setup cpu perfomance [11:37] audio_: your cpu will perform as good as it can [11:37] anna: Well, it says it's not a valid NTFS [11:37] audio_, "sudo apt-get install cpufrequtils" in terminal [11:37] how do you tinker with which drives it mounts when you startup? [11:38] does anyone have a idea hot to make this run on kde startup [11:38] other than by altering /etc/fstab? [11:38] or that i must specify filesystem type [11:38] anna: specify a file system type then, what file system is on it ? [11:38] ikonia: well. to have it set on max cpu frequency or to have it scale dynamicly [11:38] And the UUID seems gone. [11:38] Hi all. [11:38] sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M [11:38] That was a Vista ikonia [11:38] What are you talking about ? [11:38] I'm looking a simple method to add statistic on my apache 2 website. [11:39] awstats [11:39] awstats [11:39] ikonia: You think it only killed a boot sector or something like that, right? [11:39] why doesn't vi work on hardy? [11:39] LOL [11:39] thx [11:39] l815: and then? [11:39] anna: yes, it should only write to the mbr - nothing more [11:39] loll [11:39] ikonia: A partition has a MBR too? [11:39] screenname57648: it works fine [11:39] anna: sort of [11:39] anna: what disk was it ? [11:39] ikonia: Cause I did install to the partition [11:39] anna: as in what device [11:39] MBR is on the first disk first partiton that is only 512 bytes [11:40] ikonia: no it doesn' [11:40] ikonia: /dev/sda1 [11:40] I installed Gparted but it didn't show up in my Applications menu? :( [11:40] what package is it in? [11:40] anna: what does "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda" show [11:40] audio_, http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_use_cpufrequtils [11:40] screenname57648: it's called vim [11:40] screenname57648: vi is a symlink to vim [11:40] Shoopuf, it's in the admin menu. [11:40] hi, I wish to install Ubuntu using the System Wubi. My current system is setup with Windows Xp and Fedora 9. [11:40] i installed gparted [11:40] ikonia: That one looks unchanged, still NTFS partition [11:40] what happens when you go to insert mode and use the cursors? [11:40] Is it possibil to use Wubi since I don't wish to partion againg the hard drive [11:40] what is the next step [11:40] lol wow i didnt know you get a preview of songs when hovering over them [11:40] Kaja: Thanks, it was called "Partition Editor" in the Administration menu. :) [11:41] I try it a few days ago. [11:41] that's awesome :D [11:41] trumbun, yes [11:41] anna: so thats a reasonable sign, so just sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt [11:41] l815: thx. 2 bad it is not graphical like in kde [11:41] since i use grub as the boot loader [11:41] audio_, np, kde does have a lot of those types of advantages [11:41] screenname57648, /join #vim [11:42] thx bazhang but it's ubuntu - specific [11:42] Use wubi to install system [11:42] screenname57648: whats the problem with vim ? [11:42] ikonia: as I said, press i then use cursors [11:42] i only get sound from 1 of my 2 speakers instead of stereo sound....is there a way 2 modify esd so i have stereo sound again?? [11:42] the programs are run slowlly [11:42] ok thanks very much. I will try it out [11:42] oh yeah this is onboard sound btw [11:43] how do you alter which filesystems mount on startup with a gui? [11:43] screenname57648: thats insert mode [11:43] yes [11:43] screenname57648: you can't navigate while in insert mode [11:43] you can in fedora [11:43] i think [11:43] screenname57648: I think your wrong [11:43] I may be wrong [11:43] i installed the gparted but i am unable to see that on system tools [11:43] screenname57648, you can use screenlets [11:43] ok well I'll check that [11:43] i only get sound from 1 of my 2 speakers instead of stereo sound....is there a way 2 modify esd so i have stereo sound again?? [11:44] what's screenlets [11:44] screenname57648: I'm on fedora now, and you can navigate up / down the curosr in insert mode, thats it [11:44] !info screenlets [11:44] screenlets (source: screenlets): Widget-like mini-applications for GNOME.

I already made the VPN connection to work but I still can't "map" a remote network drive with the Place->Connect to Server option, Can anyone give me a hand on this please? [12:43] soundray: ok ill try that [12:43] soundray: thx [12:44] idk--: once you've set it up properly, CDs you insert after logging in will automoutn [12:44] *automount [12:44] I just want to connect to a remode network drive, is that so hard? [12:44] Pizarro2: have some patience [12:45] Pizarro2: are you sure that the VPN connection is working? [12:45] soundray, sorry [12:45] soundray, I think so, because I can see my new IP [12:45] soundray, and it's diferent [12:46] Pizarro2: can you browse the work network? [12:46] soundray, when the VPN connection is ON, my IP changes to my work network one [12:46] soundray, I just have a "Windows Network" icon, and when I click on it nothing shows up [12:46] Pizarro2: how did you set up the VPN -- Network Manager?

[12:49] soundray: the cdrom before that was working, then just stopped in the middle of ripping a cd [12:49] idk--: did you restart or hotplug? [12:49] soundray: restart [12:49] Latin0: there is no "best" [12:50] what is the msot used? [12:50] Latin0: probably whatever is built in [12:50] i tested several and utorrent was the best in windows [12:51] but in linux i don t know [12:51] Latin0: than use it in linux but gnome bittorrent is the one that is default in Ubuntu [12:51] gnomefreak: it's Transmission now [12:51] Latin0: you can run uTorrent in wine if you really want [12:51] Latin0: please move this over to #ubuntu-offftopic if you care to go deeper [12:51] LSD|Ninja: that is true i forgot about that [12:51] Latin0: use transmission, it's good enough [12:51] Pizarro2: have a look at /var/log/syslog -- it should contain information about how the connection was established, and possibly error messages. [12:51] quick question - how safe is it to add the intrepid apt source to my hardy install and just upgrade all packages, like normal 'using pre-release software' safe, or like 'you will absolutely break your entire system' safe? (I'm a long time linux user so I can deal with a few broken things if I need to) [12:51] ok [12:52] soundray, I'm going to have a look, just a second [12:52] kniolet: it will break [12:52] ok [12:52] lol [12:52] !intrepid | kniolet [12:52] kniolet: Alpha Software: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 2008 - #ubuntu+1 for discussion | Warning lots of breaking software between now and October! [12:52] guys I need a bit of tech help Im trying to intall nautilus scripts.... e.g scrpt intallers can I get some how to mind Im not a suuper linux guy [12:53] soundray, only lines for today, I was doing these tests yesterday, I have to login again [12:53] soundray, but my doubts are more about hoe to "map" the unit, I think that probably I didn't do it right [12:54] Question: Can you use FFMPEG to inspect a file? I've got some old mov's built by quicktime that i want to try to match (settings wise), thoughts? [12:54] soundray, I went to Places->Connect to a server, then I chose Shared by Windows [12:54] Pizarro2: in the first instance, you should ensure that the VPN is set up successfully. An empty Windows Network window indicates otherwise. [12:54] soundray, ok I will check this [12:55] soundray, I'll be back in some seconds since I have to connect to the VPN tunel and I'll lost the current connection [12:55] okay i got it ! [12:55] anyone can help me install a nautilus script installer? [12:56] pretty please with a beer ontop [12:56] Pizarro2: take your time, I'm not the only helper. Leave 15 minutes before you repeat a question please, and then repeat it in full. [12:56] soundray, I'm here again [12:56] i have to wonder what a 'nautilus script installer' is.... [12:56] nautilus scripts i thouhg went to some directory. and that was about it. [12:57] hey all, does anyone know where the icon files are kept? Trying to change icon for custom launchers [12:57] dr-willis its a script that facilitates future scripts intalation [12:57] how do i add mount my sda drive on ubuntu server [12:57] sda1* [12:58] !fstab > akuma5 [12:58] akuma5, please see my private message [12:58] http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Script+Installer?content=81308 [12:58] soundray, well, I no error message in the syslog file, only one warning [12:58] i got itttt [12:58] im looking to install quite a few so I thought it would be easier to install that and then I wouldnt have to fgo over and over [12:59] soundray: could it be the ide cable? [12:59] idk--: it could be [13:00] x3, looks like they just get copied to the 'scripts' directory and made executable and that about all there is to it [13:00] soundray: cuz its not showing up in the bios [13:00] soundray: was reading that cables do go bad... [13:00] idk--: especially if it's old -- make sure it has 80 leads rather than 40 [13:00] x3 http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/faq.php [13:00] soundray, but Don't I need to set my Network dns to the same my company's to be able to surf throught the network places? [13:00] thing is I searched for tyhat directory and it 1)cant find the exact directory 2)wont let me copy files to those I think asre the correct ones [13:00] soundray: will any ide cable work? [13:00] x3, make it if it dosent exist [13:01] Pizarro3: normally, the VPN setup should handle all this for you. [13:01] x3 ~.gnome/nautilus-scripts according to the guide. [13:01] ah lemme check [13:01] soundray, I got this meesage: Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP [13:01] soundray, is that important? [13:01] thx dr-willis Ill give that a go [13:02] idk--: no, it has to have 80 leads and be compliant with a specification I forget the name of -- ATA133 perhaps? [13:02] Pizarro3: yes [13:02] soundray: what does the floppy drive ide cable have? [13:02] Pizarro3: do you recognize the IP you get as typical for your work network? [13:02] soundray: or are they different [13:02] idk--: it won't even fit (34 leads) [13:03] soundray: oh ok [13:03] soundray: well ill try that when i can get a cable. thx for your help [13:03] idk--: before you go... [13:03] hi [13:03] :d [13:03] exit [13:03] idk--: do you have an IDE hard disk drive? [13:03] soundray: yes [13:03] soundray, I don't understand. When I use the Netork Utility and choose the eth0 a still geting my local ip (192.168.2.101) === yacc__ is now known as yacc [13:04] idk--: disconnect it, connect the new CD drive in its place, and try to boot a Live CD. [13:04] idk--: at least you will know that your new CDROM is working. [13:04] soundray: yeh. ok ill try that [13:05] is there that much filesystem overhead for ext3?..my hd is benchmarking at around 68mb/s..but file copies in nautilus are running at about 23MB/sec...any suggestions or numbers for comparison? [13:05] soundray: do i have to switch the cords on the motherboard, or can u even do that [13:05] Pizarro3: don't look at the eth0 one -- I think VPN creates a ppp0 device, that's the one you should look at. [13:06] idk--: I would just disconnect it at the hard disk drive and connect that end to the CD-ROM. [13:06] soundray: ok [13:06] soundray: thx [13:06] soundray, you're right, looking at ppp0 I can see my "local" ip as the one whitin my work place network [13:06] Hi all. I can't seem to get the sound to work in the VLC player. And the video is all pixellated. Not the encoding kind of pixellation, more of the overlay kind, but it's not the overlay thing, I disabled that. [13:07] Pizarro3: can you ping any address on your work network? === hot_noodles is now known as Fenix [13:07] soundray, Yes I pinged 2 of them and I got pong [13:07] Pizarro3: excellent [13:08] Pizarro3: can you list their shares with 'smbclient -L ipaddress'? [13:08] soundray, I'm going to try that using a console, just a second [13:09] soundray, I got this: Connection to ipaddress failed (Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME) [13:09] how do i install xlibs-dev in hardy? [13:09] Can anyone tell me how to change a lilo.conf so I can install grub? [13:10] !lilo [13:10] lilo is an alternative [Li]nux Boot[Lo]ader. Note: it is recommended that you use GRUB on Ubuntu instead. [13:10] !grub [13:10] 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 [13:10] Pizarro3: you should substitute ipaddress with the IP address of one of the machines that you know are up (sorry, I thought that was clear) [13:10] soundray, sorry me! that's was really silly from me [13:11] Pizarro3: what are you doing anyway, connecting to work on a Sunday ;) [13:12] soundray: it was the cable [13:12] idk--: good, at least you don't have to send the drive back :) [13:12] soundray: yep lol [13:13] soundray, the question is that I don't know which is the IP of the resources name, I just know the names of the shares.. [13:13] Pizarro3: but you said you had pinged two of them... ? [13:14] soundray: i am just looking for an 80 lead ide cable right? [13:14] can anybody help me I'm a newbie and i get the grub error 21 --- please [13:14] Pizarro3: just do 'smbclient -L 123.45.67.89' or whatever the IP is [13:14] soundray, yes I did randomly but for example, we have ashared drive called "software", I don't know which is the IP for that folder, you know what I mean? [13:14] greetings... somehow medibuntu seems to be down... is that correct ? [13:15] idk--: yes, see if you can manufacture one from a telephone cable [13:15] pharo: that's what i see too [13:15] idk--: (I'm not serious) [13:15] erUSUL: any known details ? [13:15] soundray: lol [13:15] error 21? anyone? [13:15] pharo: nope [13:15] Pizarro3: okay, you need to find out what the IP or hostname is of the server that shares "software" [13:16] Pizarro3: just try the two addresses that you know and see if "software" is listedd [13:16] soundray, ok [13:16] thanks anyhow [13:17] Anon6651: you need to bring a *little* bit of patience [13:17] help, i need to install flash to see youtube [13:17] grub error 21 - can not find disk [13:17] soundray, is there any way to ping to all the computers from x.x.x.0 to x.x.x.255 automatically? [13:17] and i dont know how [13:17] CostaRicanQuaker: 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree' [13:18] Pizarro3: yes, 'ping -b x.x.x.255' (it's called broadcasting) [13:18] !pastebin [13:18] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [13:19] soundray: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25421/ [13:19] Pizarro3: note, however, that machines can be configured to respond to direct pings, but not to broadcast pings. [13:19] soundray, I have response to 3 of them [13:19] still mozilla isn't playing youtube vids [13:19] CostaRicanQuaker: restart firefox then [13:19] Pizarro3: try them all in turn with smbclient -L [13:20] com [13:20] soundray, the first one says: Connection to 10.10.10.25 failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED) [13:20] Pizarro3: it's better to be refused than ignored ;) [13:20] soundray, the second one, asked me for my password and once done, says: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_INVALID_COMPUTER_NAME [13:21] soundray: nothing happened, is there a way to manually install it like on windows by clicking where it says get the latest flash player or whatever? [13:21] Pizarro3: just hit Return on the password prompt [13:21] soundray, the third one says: Connection to 10.10.10.30 failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED) [13:21] flash not working.. is a different problem then flash not being installed. :) [13:21] flash is got to be the #1 pain on linux these days [13:21] soundray, you are right! I just hit return and I got all the shares! [13:22] Dr_Willis: what must i do to fix the problem? [13:22] CostaRicanQuaker: yes, but let's check first what happened to your installation. Do a 'sudo updatedb' (that'll take a minute to update the file index) [13:22] soundray, those drives names I was taling about are there, in the second cmputer [13:22] soundray, but now what? why can't I see this through my network places? [13:23] Pizarro3: use Places-Connect to Server now [13:23] Pizarro3: put the IP address where it asks for the server [13:23] hello all. [13:23] Hi friends!! [13:24] soundray, and in shared I have to put the name of the folder, right? [13:24] soundray: nothing happened, i typed sudo updatedb into the prompt and nothing changed [13:24] is mediauntu.org down for people ? [13:24] CostaRicanQuaker: it has worked than. Now, do a 'locate libflashplayer' and pastebin the output pls [13:24] When I open any windows NTFS drives from ubuntu I always see 3 folders which are hidden in windows [13:25] how do i do that? [13:25] sudo locate libflashplayer ? [13:25] Pizarro3: I'm not sure actually :( [13:25] RECYCLER,System Volume Information, and $RECYCLE.BIN [13:25] CostaRicanQuaker, just locate libflashplayer should work [13:25] if I rename and put "." before their name [13:25] sudo update shouldn't give any info if it updated succesfully [13:25] CostaRicanQuaker: type L O C A T E... and so on [13:25] would that create any problem in windows? [13:25] CostaRicanQuaker: all lowercase please [13:25] *updatedb [13:26] anybody [13:26] can anybody answer my query? [13:26] kushalsejwal, leave those alone - is the best advice. [13:26] soundray, no way, it doesn't let me in [13:26] Pizarro3: doesn't even ask for a password? [13:26] Dr_willis: that mean I should not rename them [13:26] ?? [13:27] soundray: nothing happens [13:27] it just gives me the prompt again [13:27] soundray, that's why, it asks me for a password, but When I write it it doesn't accept it [13:27] kushalsejwal: you'll create problems in Windows if you do [13:27] Can anyone tell me the best channel for a newbie Ubuntu/ Linux participant in IRC to hang out on for general info? [13:27] CostaRicanQuaker: you haven't misspelled or anything? locate libflashplayer [13:28] okay so I would leave then [13:28] soundray, it always shos as domain: WORKGROUP [13:28] nope [13:28] i just copied and pasted [13:28] soundray [13:28] CostaRicanQuaker: then the flashplugin-nonfree package hasn't worked. Let's remove it completely and try again. Run 'sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree' [13:29] CostaRicanQuaker: when that's gone through, do a 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree' and pastebin the output pls [13:29] I have installed wine. now if I want to try a game setup what should I write in terminal??? [13:29] soundray, it doesn't recognize my passowrd [13:30] if that setup is in a dvd? [13:30] Pizarro3: and it's not something obvious, like caps lock or a typo? [13:31] ??? [13:31] Anyone know what to do with the mktemp/coreutils block? [13:31] soundray: yes or no http://paste.ubuntu.com/25424/ ? [13:31] * soundray wonders where all his coffee went [13:31] Oh, wrong channel. [13:31] CostaRicanQuaker: yes [13:32] soundray, no I've cheked that, I still thinking the domain is important. When I map this units in Windows, all the shared names are referenced to our work place domain name, but here ... [13:32] hello, I just installed some new hardware in my computer and I've loaded up a livecd but gparted doesn't see any of my SATA harddrives (bios does see them), anyone know anything I could do.. ? :) [13:32] What should I write in terminal if I want to try a game's setup from a DVD thru Wine in ubuntu [13:32] ??? [13:32] soundray: it finished, now what do i have to do? [13:32] Pizarro3: it could be, but I don't know enough about Windows networking to help you with that [13:33] CostaRicanQuaker: start (or restart) your browser and see if youtube plays now [13:33] soundray, you know, in Wind I just click on "map network drive" and then I write : //servername/share name and that's it [13:33] guys help me too :( [13:33] soundray, is there any tool to scan the netrwork at a glance? to see al the computers connected, their network name, etc? [13:33] Pizarro3: you could try bypassing the gnome vfs and mount it on the command line: [13:34] soundray: didnt work :( [13:34] kushalsejwal: cd to the setup. then type wine $Setupname.exe [13:35] soundray, because I still wondering why I can't see the computers in may network places? [13:35] Pizarro3: 'sudo mount -t cifs -o user=pizarro3,pass='your password' //server-ip/sharename /mnt' [13:35] Pizarro3: it's not browsing successfully -- but I can't help you with that [13:36] What should I write in terminal if I want to try a game's setup from a DVD thru Wine in ubuntu [13:36] helloooo [13:36] CostaRicanQuaker: can you pastebin whatever came after the dialog where you said Yes? [13:36] sudo soundray I get this: sudo: unable to resolve host chakir-desktop [13:37] soundray: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25425/ [13:37] Pizarro3: what's chakir-desktop -- is that your local hostname? [13:37] soundray, yes, it is [13:37] anyone know where the sharing preferences in hardy aer? [13:38] are* [13:38] CostaRicanQuaker: was there nothing about it downloading the .tar.gz? [13:38] soundray: thats all that showed up [13:39] CostaRicanQuaker: it hasn't downloaded the plugin as it should. [13:39] soundray: is it because i-m on dapper? [13:40] soundray: will it be easier if i upgrade to hardy? [13:40] ive been trying and trying to use ltsp-build-client with an iso file of ubuntu as a mirror, does it make a difference that i am using a mounted .iso file and not the actual CD? the CD has issues in this machine. is there some kinda security causing my foul up? [13:41] CostaRicanQuaker: I don't know -- I would have expected it to work in dapper. I do think that upgrading is a good idea, though, if you have enough space and follow the upgrade instructions [13:41] somebody use emulator for neo geo? or XGngeo? [13:41] soundray: what do i do to upgrade to dapper? [13:42] i mean [13:42] hardy/ [13:43] soundray, I installed pyNeighborhood, and the same, I can't se the other computers in the lan, I stil thinking it's an issue with the GROPU name [13:43] penguincentral, did you right click on the folder you want to share [13:43] CostaRicanQuaker: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades scroll down to section 1.3 [13:43] bloodrock: there used to be a preferences window [13:44] right? [13:44] sudo apt-get update + sudo apt-get upgrade [13:44] + sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [13:44] ? [13:44] jökjö [13:44] Pizarro3: it's possible, but I don't know enough about Windows networking [13:44] CostaRicanQuaker: no [13:44] then? [13:44] which little mail-server should i install? postfix is to big, i wanna only sending some mails out (status-mails, for example when crashing an application) [13:44] CostaRicanQuaker: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades scroll down to section 1.3 [13:45] soundray, ok, that's the issue.. I want to map a Win Network Drive thru a VPN connection using UBUNTU [13:45] hey all [13:45] sudo apt-get install update-manager-core ? [13:45] CostaRicanQuaker: follow the instructions on that page [13:46] upgrade to for ubuntu servers? [13:46] i-m not on a server [13:46] penguincentral, they took it out but you can install system-config-samba [13:46] CostaRicanQuaker: no, I said 1.3 [13:46] CostaRicanQuaker: Upgrade from 6.06 LTS to 8.04 LTS [13:46] oh [13:47] # Make sure the "dapper-updates" software channel is enabled. [13:47] # Be sure that you have all updates applied before you upgrade. [13:47] how do i do that? [13:47] Pizarro3: that's the question you should ask the channel, and mention that you can ping hosts on the VPN [13:47] penguincentral, get it from synaptic package manager or apt-get [13:47] CostaRicanQuaker: FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS [13:47] bloodrock: ok [13:47] soundray, thanks so much for your help [13:48] * CostaRicanQuaker upgrades [13:48] dapper egads - thats old. [13:48] Anyone can give a hand on this: I want to map a Win Network Drive thru a VPN connection, I already can ping hosts on the VPN [13:49] :) [13:50] hi, im using ubuntu on a device with a low resolution (eee) and i was wondering where to disable the setting that keeps me from moving windows up when the titlebar is already at the top of the screen [13:50] (some windows just wont fit and i like to press OK buttons ;) [13:51] efdeee, you can hold-alt and click anywhere in the window , and drag them past. normally from anyehere in the window [13:51] efdeee: are you on compiz or gnome? [13:51] soundray, yes you're right [13:51] soundray: both [13:51] Dr_willis_: thats what im trying but it blocks once the titlebar hits the top [13:51] efdeee: :) sorry [13:52] efdeee: are you on compiz or metacity? [13:52] efdeee: gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/compiz/plugins/move/allscreens/options/constrain_y 0 [13:52] soundray, but no response, I have been trying to solve this issue since yesterday morning, if I be honest, this is the thing that keeps me using Win for work === fereshteh is now known as Zenit [13:53] hmm, i see in htop many /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon prozesses [13:53] soundray: restart required after changing gconf settings? [13:53] why i have so many prozesses of that? [13:53] Pizarro3: it's a difficult one. It's strange that it seems to be using your local hostname somehow. You might try asking on ubuntuforums [13:53] one question, Is there anyway to use remote desktop from Ubuntu to the one that Win offers? [13:53] efdeee: no [13:53] and how can i reduce that [13:53] ? [13:53] soundray: how do you like Ubuntu on the EEE? [13:54] i have a corrupt sd card the i was i have ubuntu loaded on...batt went dead on my comp now the sd card wont even show up any ideas [13:54] hi. i need some help with getting a wireless adapter to connect to my network. [13:54] hurray, success [13:54] The program "wicd" I had installed earlier - howto install it again... I used it to connect on my wireless lan [13:54] thanks a bunch [13:54] SuperLag: better than Xandros, but I'm having issues with the screen resolution being too small [13:54] xandros wasnt too fun [13:54] just installed ubuntu-eee here [13:54] it see's the network, reports my (amazing strong haha) 50% strength signal, but doesn't seem to connect or assign an IP [13:54] soundray: 1024x600, isn't it? [13:55] SuperLag: not really an Ubuntu issue, though. Yes, it is [13:55] already removed the taskbar panel tho [13:55] my res is 800x440 or something [13:55] efdeee: soundray: does everything work? [13:55] Pizarro, what win os [13:55] bloodboy, XP [13:56] SuperLag: after a bit of fumbling, yes. I haven't tried wired Ethernet yet [13:56] superlag: so far yes. its only been an hour or so tho [13:56] how to i install avant navigator ?

The LED on the memory stick has continued to flash, although it is not making any progress on copying the files and the cancel button does nothing. I also have a USB hard drive mounted and notice that it's icon has... [13:57] ...now disappeared. How can I unmount and remove the memory stick? [13:57] my gf got me one actually [13:57] Guys, I'm trying to get rid of XP in my computer, that's why I have to find solution for two important things: a) be able to map network drives that are on Win servers (work place), b9 be able to connect to remote XP desktop XD [13:57] efdeee: soundray: good battery life? [13:57] superlag: so-so, but apparently there's a really good replacement battery for 40 pounds or so [13:58] SuperLag: no. I've ordered a 6600 mAh battery [13:58] yes, that one [13:58] interesting [13:58] hello, does anyone run trac 0.11 on hardy? [13:58] I've never had good battery life with Linux, in any case, on any laptop. :/ [13:58] Pizarro, a) Places -> Connect to server, b) Applications -> Internet -> Remote Desktop Viewer [13:58] Pizarro, might try here for helphttp://www.aeonity.com/frost/howto-windows-xp-vpn-into-remote-location [13:58] I meant, Pizarro3 [13:59] SuperLag: it's got much better recently, though [13:59] apinunt: you may look into umount -l [13:59] Pizarro3, both are trivial features [13:59] SuperLag: I get two hours, can't really complain since it's only a 4400 mAh battery [13:59] ok mediaubuntu is back up [13:59] my eee gets superhot tho [13:59] efdeee: ouch. that's not good. [14:00] efdeee: mine isn't too bad, but the fan whines [14:00] joaopinto, the first one doesn't work for me, soundray and I have een for a hour trying to make it work..the second one I'm going to test it [14:00] kyncani: Command not found. [14:00] soundray: i think mine is passively cooled [14:00] hallo [14:00] soundray: i dont hear/see a fan [14:01] efdeee: it was mentioned on eeeuser.com that some come without one [14:01] apinunt: it's a root command, so use sudo and add a correct path if needed [14:01] soundray: i dont mind the heat as long as it doesnt melt... [14:01] kyncani: I tried both with and without and get "command not found" [14:01] joaopinto, I have a VPN connection that works properly, I can ping the hosts on it, but I can't see them in my network places, and somehow, the systems still using my local host name instead fo the one thet the VPN gives me [14:02] joaopinto, any ideas? [14:02] efdeee: what frequency does cat /proc/cpuinfo report on yours? [14:02] nope, i have no experience with VPN [14:02] joaopinto, that's the point, I use VPN to access our network drives .. XD [14:03] 630 [14:03] i heard its actually 900 but underclocked [14:03] im a bit weary of changing it tho [14:03] Hey guys, SOMEHOW, the desktop connection is workin fine for me now with the VPN connection! [14:03] efdeee: I've been wondering that. Mine runs at the full 900. [14:03] But whay I can't map the units???? [14:04] soundray: i heard the 100mhz fsb runs at 66 or so for the 701 model [14:05] efdeee: yes -- I wouldn't change it on yours if it's already hot [14:05] Pizarro3, you could try to manually smbmount ... [14:05] apinunt: umount is /bin/umount === theking is now known as TheKiNG|Linux [14:06] joaopinto: we tried with mount -t cifs ( pizarro3) [14:06] ah ok [14:06] joaopinto, yes tha't another issue, when I try that, I get: sudo: unable to resolve host chakir-desktop [14:06] , where chakir-desktop is the name of my computer (local) [14:07] joaopinto: that's where the local hostname comes in and spoils it somehow [14:07] soundray: its not like im going to use it to play games or something anyways.. 600 is ok atm [14:07] ive been trying for two weeks to use build client offline atm it seems to be building. the only difference was i used an actual CD in the CD drive rather than mount and point to an iso with --mirror, anyone know why that would mater? some security thing maybe? [14:07] Pizarro, erm. add the name into /etc/hosts ? [14:07] ltsp-build-client that is [14:07] i mean Pizarro3 [14:07] kiki [14:07] joaopinto, let me check it, just a second [14:07] sa aga [14:08] Pizarro, gksudo gedit /etc/hosts [14:08] efdeee: I use one particular program where the controls are hidden because of the lack of height [14:08] apinunt: an easy solution would be to unplug your usb devices, plug them again, remove partially copied files and start the transfer again. But I would "umount -l" them first. [14:08] joaopinto, what name should I add? my VPN ip? [14:09] efdeee: I'll try to enable a higher virtual resolution -- not sure if the intel driver supports it, but worth a shot [14:09] kyncani: I'm sorry, poor eyesight, and I was typing unmount -l, and reading the man page it says the device cannot be unmounted if it is busy which it appears to be. [14:09] soundray: using the XP display driver you can rotate the screen 90 degrees [14:09] wonder if theres something like that for linux as well [14:09] Pizarro, no, your desktop name: chakir-desktop, which should be associated with 127.0.0.1 [14:09] efdeee: xrandr [14:09] joaopinto, I have this in hosts: 127.0.1.1 chakir-desktop.[DOMAIN NAME] [14:09] *makes a note* [14:09] kyncani: The sudo umount -l command only returned a usage message. [14:10] append chakir-desktop (without the domain name) [14:10] Where in DOMAIN NAME is the name of my company, and I hidden it for security reasons [14:10] append it to the existing line [14:11] joaopinto, soryy I don't catch you, what do you mean with "append it" with the existing line? [14:11] erm, I mean, thatt line should be 127.0.1.1 chakir-desktop.[DOMAIN NAME] chakir-desktop [14:12] hey guys how do i see my detected hardware (ram, vga and such)? [14:12] sajuuk: lshw or dmidecode [14:12] apinunt: -l *is* a valid umount option with linux. Anyway, just unplug the damn devices. [14:12] kyncani: I unplugged the pen drive, and all my desktop icons have disappeared, although the programs that were running seem to still be running. [14:12] my hardware drivers tab states that my ATI driver is installed but my xorg.conf states otherwise [14:12] thx dude [14:13] I can't execute the sudo command, whenever I do it ti says: sudo: unable to resolve host chakir-desktop [14:13] I need to get in root mode to change hosts file [14:13] nerdygirl, have you enabled the the restricted driver from the hardware drivers dialog ? [14:13] jhj [14:13] kyncani: Can I get my Desktop icons back without stopping any programs running? [14:13] nerdygirl: ignore xorg.conf . Check glxinfo and glxgears [14:14] Pizarro3, please add the hostname into /etc/hosts, I already explained that [14:14] apinunt: yeah, start nautilus [14:14] yes, the restricted driver is enabled from the hardware driver tab [14:14] nerdygirl, or from the terminal: glxinfo | grep direct [14:14] joaopinto, yes I know, but to change the content for that file I have to be root, an dto change to root, I need to execute sudo right? [14:14] hi [14:14] says enabled and in use [14:14] need help here [14:14] Pizarro, gksudo /etc/hosts [14:14] kyncani: I'm quite new, is there a command for that? === erle64- is now known as erle- [14:15] apinunt: nautilus is the app that shows directories, so open something in the places menu. Nautilus is also the thing that draws desktop icons [14:15] I believe gksudo unlike sudo does not check for the hostname [14:15] nerdygirl: it's all fine, then. See if glxgears reports a decent framerate [14:15] how to adjust screen resolution in ubuntu...i bought a new monitor yesterday and cannot setting to 1024x768 [14:15] joaopinto, nothing happened [14:15] !resolution | Amelia_cute [14:15] Amelia_cute: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [14:15] Um, no. That's wrong. [14:15] Pizarro3, ok, so you are out of luck, you will need the live cd to fix your hosts file [14:15] playing embeded video in firefox on ubuntu either through flash or totem is a bit buggy as it often kills all audio [14:16] my resolution right now is 640x480 and there isn't an option to change it!! [14:16] i have some problem with my polipo+firefox [14:16] can anyone help [14:16] Oh, no, wait, it were right. At least the last part. ;-) [14:16] joaopinto, actually this is a WUBI installation [14:16] nerdygirl: go to system>preferences>screen resolution [14:17] ok, going back to music festival now [14:17] soundray: thanks for the advice :) [14:17] sajuuk: that one sucks, it should die [14:17] Pizarro, well. you should be able to get into it anyway.. doing a loopback mount from the livecd [14:17] efdeee: enjoy [14:17] really? [14:17] kyncani: I tried Home Folder, Desktop, and Computer and nothing appears. [14:17] I believe wubi disk files are just loopback images of the FS [14:17] there i have only 1 resolution: 640x480, nothing else [14:17] joaopinto, but I installed this yesterday, what could be wrong? I cant even cnagne the system files [14:17] otherwise you will need to read the WUBI FAQ [14:17] nerdygirl, Prepare to get yourself inte most common, and also most beginner-scary problem in whole GNU/Linux. === SANDHI is now known as ce_strezz [14:18] im gonna sit and listen on this resolution problem [14:18] although im quite fine with it [14:18] coffee in hand, waiting.. [14:18] Pizarro3, someone (presumably you) provided an improper hostname on /etc/hosts [14:18] zhaozhou: are you talking about the page on fixing video resolution? [14:18] Why can't I access my mySQL from other computers on my network? [14:18] Setting your resolution, refresh rat and aspect ratio shouldn't be this hard. Why the hell is it taking so long? [14:18] Pizarro3, if it was not your with a manual change to a network setting.. then it is a bug with the wubi installer [14:18] zhaozhou: it doesn't seem to have been updated for hardy [14:18] Pizarro3, the .[DOMAIN] was not expected on that /etc/hosts line [14:19] a [14:19] a [14:19] nerdygirl: see if you can configure your display properly with 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' [14:19] your saying i should give up and go back to windows? [14:19] zhaozhou: if you think setting resolution is bad, try doing that with a wacom.... that was fun [14:19] apinunt: you can run "nautilus" from a terminal, or there may be a run command thing in the menu somewhere, maybe alt-f2 [14:19] soundray, I think it should apply to all ubuntu releases, but i don't run ubuntu myself... [14:19] nerdygirl: nah, its just a problem faced by many [14:19] zhaozhou: agreed [14:20] i use sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart [14:20] joaopinto, OK I got it, I did: gksudo nano /etc/hosts [14:20] cannot also [14:20] sajuuk, I'm quite familiar with the xorg.conf now, don't think it will be any problems right now. But, i get your point. (: [14:20] to adjust my screen resolution [14:20] heheh [14:20] i spent 2 days fixing the mess on that xorg file [14:20] kyncani: I just googled and found alt F2 and nautilus -q, although that did not work. [14:20] Pizarro, you were to successfully change it ? [14:20] i learnt a lot, but i felt really sick afterwards [14:20] Amelia_cute, Don't run that. Just check the link. (: [14:20] OH i see, i need to add these resolutions to the driver, but where is it? [14:20] how to adjust it? [14:20] Amelia_cute: please try to configure your new display with 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' [14:20] nerdygirl: you need to set custom modelines in xorg.conf [14:21] nerdygirl, In xorg.conf, located at /etc/X11/xorg.conf [14:21] LSD|Ninja, No need for modelines [14:21] LSD|Ninja, I hate those. [14:21] joaopinto, I were successful to open the file with root rights, but I can't write [14:21] Pizarro3, so still without out luck, you can't sudo/gksudo :( [14:21] modelines? [14:21] zhaozhou: I hate the whole idea of xorg.conf [14:21] LSD|Ninja, I love it. (-: [14:21] wait on, what is the whole idea of xorg.conf? [14:22] LSD|Ninja: modelines are a very last resort ( sajuuk, nerdygirl) [14:22] sajuuk, What you need to define is 1. horisontal refresh rate of you're screen, and 2. vertical refresh rate of your screen. [14:22] joaopinto, wel amyway I don0t understand it, I've just installed the wubu yesterday, no changes on it, and I can't open files like root?=?=?== [14:22] Then it will do the rest itself. [14:22] Pizarro3, what hostname have you provied when asked by wubi ? [14:22] sajuuk, xorg.conf is the configuration file for X. [14:22] was it desktop-blah or desktop-blah.domain ? [14:22] apinunt: hmm, just reboot the box i guess. If you often have this kind of usb malfunction, you can use the "umount -l" command, google for "umount -l" to have some howto/tutorial/... [14:23] joaopinto, I wasn't asked for a host name...Only for my name [14:23] sajuuk, That was wrong. Horisontal _SYNC_, and vertical refresh. [14:23] Pizarro3, like I said.. probably a bug with wubi, which is odd because I did not have that issue [14:23] and what's so bad/good about the xorg.conf? [14:23] kyncani: I just tried sudo killall nautilus and that did not work either, so I guess I will have to kill my running programs and reboot the system. [14:23] apinunt: linux not handling usb plug/unplug gracefully is a curse ... [14:23] joaopinto, I understand that, but Why I can't turn into root rights? [14:23] sajuuk, I can myself define my own way of having my X server made up. (: [14:24] well, it can't find a driver in that folder [14:24] sajuuk, nothing bad.. except that it shouldn't exist at all ... anyway that conversation will go better in #ubuntu-offtopic [14:24] sajuuk, You can disable/enable ANYTHING, have any video card run any kind of setup anyhow anywhere! I love it! [14:24] nerdygirl: see if you can configure your display properly with 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' [14:24] Pizarro3, because getting root right depends on sudo, and sudo checks if your hostname is properly set.. which is not on your case [14:24] pfff [14:24] Why can't I access mySQL from other computers on my network? [14:24] I used to be able to run through xf86config with my eyes shut back in the day, but it should be as simple as moving a slider these days. I mean Windows has had this capability for 15 years, why is it still so difficult in Linux? [14:24] Pizarro3, you will need a livecd to fix it [14:25] sigh, now u make me feel as if i shouldnt talk about it :p, why shouldnt it exist? It seems logical for it to exist? [14:25] eviking5, Listen variable? [14:25] ok, rebooting, cross my fingers [14:25] zhaozhou, where? [14:25] how to adjust screen resolution???? [14:25] eviking5, because by default mysql is bind to the localhost address. please check your mysql.cnf [14:25] kyncani: I agree, and hope that will improve quickly as I also have problems with external hard drives ocassionally and tire of having to check them on a WinXP system to get them to work again. [14:25] Amelia_cute: please try to configure your new display with 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' [14:25] sajuuk, Haha. (-: [14:25] eviking5, The mysql configuration file. [14:25] joaopinto, I have a Knopix live, [14:25] joaopinto, can I just add more binding addresses? [14:25] Amelia_cute, you already got the answer, several times.. please proceed and provide some feedback [14:25] Pizarro3, it should be sufficient [14:25] what was that channel? #ubuntu-offtopic? [14:26] dislayconfig-gtk is the good one, though for some retarded reason it wasn't updated proeprly for hardy [14:26] cannot joaopinto [14:26] Has anyone on here ever installed Ubuntu on a Dell Inspiron 8100? I'm trying to do that, and running into some problems. I could use some help. [14:26] eviking5, You can bind it to your external drive, or any drive, but not $N specific NICs [14:26] kyncani: I'll end all my running processes and restart my system now, and thanks for your help. [14:26] joaopinto, so I have only need to edit hosts file and add what? again chakir-host at the end of the line? [14:26] eviking5, you should bind to ALL, or to your specific IP, please read the conf instructions [14:26] apinunt: np, look into the umount -l command though [14:26] ok, cheers. [14:26] joaopinto, I don't uinderstan what should be the server name that sudo is expecting? [14:26] zhaozhou, you mean addressed, not drive :P [14:26] apinunt: (for next time) [14:26] Pizarro, the name it expects is the hostname.. without the .domain part [14:26] joaopinto, Ah, yes. Sorry. (: [14:26] mcf3782: describe the problems, one at a time [14:26] joaopinto, in fact, I don't need even a live, I can restart in XP and do it from there [14:27] Amelia_cute: how are you getting on? [14:27] kyncani: Will do and thanks again. [14:27] Pizarro3, I don't think you can access your WUBI disk image from XP [14:27] joaopinto, ok, I'm restarting with KNopix [14:27] see you in some minutes [14:28] ok [14:29] I've downloaded the 8.04 ISO and burned it to disk. It boots with no probelm, but when I get to the disk partitioning point; it's identifying the internal hard drive as "sda". I can't seem to partition an "sda". [14:29] Every other distribution I've ever loaded identifies this drive as "hda". [14:29] My sound has stoped working, and i keep having problems with realplayer and sound working for a video then next time sounds gone. [14:29] hi! i have enabled logging on UFW. Does anybody know what is a path to this logfile? [14:30] mcf3782: it's just a name. All drives are identified as sd* rather than hd* now [14:30] This same hardware has had FC4, Knoppix, and Gentoo loaded, so I feel pretty sure that the hardware is kind of linux compatable [14:30] soundray : same situation [14:30] mcf3782, what is the specific problem that you have when partitioning ? [14:31] i got 400x600 cannot change to 1264x768 [14:31] mcf3782: just use the installer's partitioner [14:31] <|aspire|> hello [14:31] Amelia_cute: did you open displayconfig-gtk? [14:31] <|aspire|> where is the java JDK located after installing from he repo's? [14:31] no [14:31] how [14:31] The partitioning tool tells me that it's unable to write a partition to the drive, and takes me back to that step in the installation. [14:32] Amelia_cute: I told you FOUR times [14:32] Amelia_cute: please try to configure your new display with 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' [14:32] right for whom ever isn interested I dont recommend intalling ebox [14:32] Amelia_cute: don't you read the channel when you've asked a question? [14:32] it will break your install and possibly even make it unbootable [14:33] list of bugs is climing [14:33] x3: do you have a support issue?

[14:51] ShackJack, can you play yahoo games? because i cannot. [14:51] paul555: what happens sometimes is that ubuntu installs grub on what it thinks is the first hard disk drive in the system, but your BIOS thinks otherwise. I think that's what's happened here. [14:52] wweasel: There is an O/S implimentation of ext2 for OSX [14:52] hello any1 can help [14:52] hiptobecubic: I haven't tried.... I just go to Yahoo com to find them?

(you can change there to do perminantly as well) [15:22] how create cd audio with mp3 files in ubuntu ? [15:22] how can i change perminantly? [15:22] aguitel: grip [15:22] magnetron, is there a way to select everything in synaptic? [15:22] aguitel: start "brasero" [15:22] if i change it itll go back at next boot SnackJack [15:22] ? [15:23] daYZman, you can save yourself some disc space by just installing the packages you actually want [15:23] Hi ppl [15:23] army ;brasero get me error [15:23] aguitel: And the error is....? [15:23] (btw: Bluetooth is working fine ^^) [15:24] daYZman: you can't install everything at the same due to dependency conflicts also you need a lot of discspace since there are about 18.000+ or 23.000+ packages if I'm not mistaken [15:24] gnomefreak: sry went afk for a min, don't know if I saw all your messages... got something about the page for how to install pluse, was that it? [15:24] ShackJack: wait me [15:24] shackjack? [15:24] jerheij: I beleive you can edit perminantly their or go to /boot/grub/menu/1st and edit... [15:24] ill try that, im in GUI in linux now =) [15:25] Hello. Could someone tell me how many lines of code Ubuntu 8.0.4 contains? [15:25] jerheij: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.1st ;) [15:25] Nutzebahn, no [15:25] Nutzebahn: I doubt it... [15:25] What about 7.10? [15:26] aguitel: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 [15:26] Nutzebahn: Ubuntu is a collection of many open source projects maintained by thousands of different people ... so it's likely no accurate estimate exists [15:26] Nutzebahn, you don't even know what you are asking [15:26] is that the bash command shackjack? [15:26] magnetron: Maybe it's for a trivia question :) [15:26] Nutzebahn: you'd have to figure out how many lines of code each application contained, that would be quite time consuming. [15:26] jerheij: Yes, so you can edit that file as root user... [15:26] ShackJack, i guess [15:27] and how do i save after change? [15:27] jerheij: Just be certain you are appending the right parameters... [15:27] nibsa1242b: yes [15:27] jerheij: It's gedit - a GIU program should be pretty evident :) [15:27] jer waar bent jij? :p [15:27] < =D Muhahahahahaha =D hier ben ik >_< > [15:27] army: this is for brasero only? [15:28] whaazzaaaaaaaaaa :p [15:28] it doesnt matter it's a vmware shackjack? [15:28] wazzup gekaapie >_< [15:28] jerheij: I don't know what you mean "it doesnt matter"... [15:28] aguitel: brasero uses gstreamer and you need the mp3-module. brasero is also the application shipped and maintained by gnome so its a safe option to choose [15:29] ryanakca: sorry, I haven't managed to crack this yet and will have to adjourn now [15:29] aguitel: mp3 has been disabled due to patent issues [15:29] im going slightly mad trying to get the lastest broadcom drivers for my wireless to work >.< [15:29] that the fact im using vmware for ubuntu isn't a problem... [15:29] army: Is that the same reason perhaps my Sound Juiceer doesn't include MP3 as a selectable option in output format (though it lists in edit profiles but doesn't add) [15:30] jerheij: I don't know what you're referring to - using gedit? using bash? be specific... [15:30] ShackJack: yes and also rhythmbox [15:30] army: Were you referring to the gstreamer plugins or a different module? [15:30] army: ShackJack ,the error in brasero is:Session error : the drive can't be locked (ongoing burning process) (brasero_burn_record burn.c:2270) [15:31] Nutzebahn: why don't you get download all of the source for the programs that are on the live cd; then use some kind of random statistical method to come up with a sample group, figure out the aprox # of lines of code per MB, and then you'd have an estimated # of lines of code. [15:31] ShackJack: gstreamer === adam_ is now known as Guest69184 [15:32] army: Hmmph I have that installed but no MP3 option in Juicer... [15:32] That sounds like plenty of trouble. :( [15:32] using ubuntu on a vmware in general shackjack [15:33] army: any ideas?

I cannot get it to find my wireless network I have turned all wireless security off to bypass that issue.. [15:34] where is my printer queue ? [15:34] Nutzebahn: thats the only way I can think of doing it [15:34] i can't find it [15:34] jerheij: Wha? It's a virtual machine, right? It's not going to do anything to your laptop per se... [15:34] lochru: what specific broadcom card do you have? [15:34] 0. [15:35] ShackJack: you maybe need to create the options, but what is wrong with ogg vorbis?

[15:50] NTFS is better yes [15:50] do you do any home studio rec. [15:50] dispite it's ms based [15:51] But should you be working with old MS windows stuff FAT32 is nice.

[16:41] Krepta, you can just use sudo for apt-get, but you might want to use aptitude instead depending on what you install [16:41] does the livecd support ... like .. two graphics cards ? [16:41] or just one ? [16:42] CostaRicanQuaker: gnome is most likely going to be more free in the long run now that nokia bought trolltech [16:42] Honestly though, it's just politics. It means nothing [16:43] killing gksu allowed me to retry, this time it let me put in my password [16:43] is debian better than ubuntu? [16:43] mm? [16:43] army: how about xfce? [16:44] CostaRicanQuaker, depends on your needs. [16:44] CostaRicanQuaker: that's double speak about debian and ubuntu [16:44] debian's free'er though right? [16:44] which filesystem is better for linu [16:44] which filesystem is better for linux [16:44] CostaRicanQuaker: just use a DE that suites your needs [16:44] ? [16:44] arun_: ext3 [16:44] arun_: ZFS [16:44] CostaRicanQuaker: no not free-er [16:45] arun_, ext2/3 is the most commonly used for linux systems [16:45] ZFS? [16:45] i thought debian was aimed to be completely free [16:45] whereas canonical sells support for ubuntu [16:45] hi [16:45] ext3 is kinda crap but it's also kind of a standard [16:45] CostaRicanQuaker, debian are stricter when it comes to freeness [16:45] CostaRicanQuaker: gnewsense is free, debian and ubuntu are not [16:45] does anyone know how to install the packages ubuntu ultimate provide? is there a download script available? [16:46] arun_: ext3 is the default for most installs for a reason [16:46] how about GNU? [16:46] daYZman: don't do it [16:46] anyone that can confirm that ssh-keygen will give you (again) weak keys, blocked by debian's ssh-vulnkey? (OpenSSH_4.7p1 Debian-8ubuntu1, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007) [16:46] CostaRicanQuaker: GNU HURD? DNF will be out before they finish that [16:47] army, why's that? [16:47] LSD|Ninja: GNU/Hurd is more real then duke nukem forever. you can run GNU/Hurd [16:47] DNF will have been released, E17 will have been released, Hell would have frozen over and the Sun will have gone Nova before GNU/HURD comes out === arashOio is now known as _arashOio [16:47] yoyoned: wht abt reiserfs [16:48] daYZman: you need then to install about 23.000 packages (!!!) [16:48] i'm trying to whitelist a specific applet on firefox, the only problem is, when i whitelist the applet firefox closes down, and when i start firefox again, the applet has a different id, so it isn't whitelisted anymore, anyone know if i can whitelist a whole specific domain? [16:48] does GNU serve as an example to support linus torvalds argument for monolithic kernels over microckernels? [16:48] hello [16:48] arun_: a lots going to happen on that now that reiser is in jail :P [16:48] arun_: reiserfs was and still is doa [16:48] somebdy told [16:48] its performnce speed high [16:48] speed is high [16:48] does anyone knows how i can start scala programming on ubuntu? [16:49] arun_: yeah, but then files go missing and even though there's evidence to suggest it was reiserfs it'll give you a convoluted explanation as to why it can't be [16:49] When setting up a software raid 1 during install with two identical drives, I create my root partition but after that the rest of the space on the raid device shows up as "unusable". Why? I want both / and swap on this raid device. Help? [16:49] is the reason why GNU hurd has been so delayed that of using a microkernel? [16:49] when my friend uses apt-get on his 8.04 machine, it works but it keeps trying to configure evolution and throwing up dependency errors related to configuration. Is there any way to have dpkg ignore the configuration of the package? [16:49] CostaRicanQuaker: yes 1 coder on hurd versus say 800 on linux at the same time [16:50] CostaRicanQuaker: hurd has a lot features needed for the future [16:51] CostaRicanQuaker: compare hurd with Sun Solaris running all applications in Java [16:51] what desktop environment does gnewsense use? and if it's based on ubuntu why isn;t it official? === fserve_ is now known as fserve [16:52] CostaRicanQuaker: gnewsense uses gnome, but ubuntu tries to get people to linux and they do a damn good job [16:52] LSD|Ninja: but a projct was thr on google summer code abt reiserfx [16:52] gnewsense kinda sounds like nuisanse :P [16:52] technically speaking, could one install gnewsense and have KDE on it? [16:53] "A free as in freedom GNU/Linux distribution, that takes all the non-free blobs out of a rather popular distribution." <- will definitely be a nuisance then === rubydiam_ is now known as rubydiamond [16:53] CostaRicanQuaker, it is not official because there are plans to make a gnewsense alike option on the ubuntu installation [16:53] arun_: reiserfs is not the path to go since kernel developers are not willing to maintain it. even novell is dropping it [16:53] cioa === StooJ|Away is now known as StooJ [16:54] juanpinto: does that mean in the future gnewsense might be an optional for ubuntu users? [16:55] Rhorse: Could you re-install Evolution? That application has many other applications dependent on it. [16:55] bazhang: sir well very time my ddclient starts during boot up it gives an error message to edit something true in certain folder in etc any help sir ? [16:55] CostaRicanQuaker: just use ubuntu with only main and universe it covers mainly what gnewsense is about [16:55] LSD|Ninja: why would that be a nuisance? [16:55] oh!!! [16:55] so u ppl r saying ext3 is the best filesytem [16:55] right? [16:55] bazhang: sir you there ? [16:55] CostaRicanQuaker, yes [16:56] 5 years you'd say? [16:56] arun_, yes. it is the recommended default [16:56] CostaRicanQuaker: Installing a distro with no binary blobs and then screwing about trying to get those same binary blobs up and running manually would be a pain in the rear end [16:56] arun_: ext3 for now, yes or you must be willing to experiment with ext4 (only handy with larger file systems) [16:56] m-c, ok, so you mean do a sudo apt-get --reinstall install evolution? [16:57] LSD|Ninja: can you tell me why you need blobs? [16:57] Myrtti: little bit help :) [16:57] tv7497: hum? [16:57] armorial, LSD|Ninja your conversation should go to #ubuntu-offtopic [16:57] LSD|Ninja: so that means it would be less userfriendly for the windows user who's just switching to linux like myself? [16:57] Myrtti: well very time my ddclient starts during boot up it gives an error message to edit something true in certain folder in etc any help [16:58] please keep offtopic to a channel more suitable for it [16:58] is there any problem if I copy the home folder of an user to another user to have the same configuration??? [16:58] tv7497: yes? [16:58] Janeux, if you do a change owner afterwards. it should be fine [16:58] I mean.. the files owner [16:58] Myrtti: i did post it above i guess [16:58] has anyone here used both ubuntu and gnewsense? [16:59] Rhorse: Is it not installed now? Sounded like It was not. Either way, yes, uninstall and re-install. [16:59] ah.. and some paths on the config maybe pointing to the other user's home dir [16:59] dmesg prints the line: "[ 0.000000] ACPI: PM-Timer IO Port: 0x1008." What does 'PM' stand for? [16:59] joao thanks, and gconf and other gnome also will be fine???? [16:59] Myrtti: few lines back addressing you ?? didnt you get that ? [16:59] joaopinto: would you say five years for gnewsense to be an option within ubuntu? [16:59] CostaRicanQuaker, please move that question to #ubuntu-offtopic [16:59] anyone know how to configure microphone in ubuntu? [16:59] tv7497: pastebin the error message [16:59] joaopinto: are you there too? [17:00] yes I am [17:00] m-c, well, it was processed up to the point of configuration, which it choked on. So it's *half-installed* you mite say 8 ) [17:00] I'm come from china,The first time using this operation [17:00] Myrtti: well its i get it during the boot process i do the text boot by pressing crtrl-alt-f1 [17:00] the downloads wont start when wishing to download in a browser, what can i have pressed or done, seems like its a time out [17:01] I have just installed libgmp on ubuntu 8.04. I can compile a program with it (in C), but when I try to execute it tells me it can't find the "libgmp.so.3" file. But I can see it's in /usr/local/lib. Isn't it where it's supposed to be?

[17:11] Enselic, because i'm bilingual and that channel tends to respond faster than this one :D [17:11] I was wondering if I could get any help regarding my Ubuntu and/or Ubuntu Studio install [17:11] ....and [17:11] Enselic, again, depends where you are from -- here in england, i've known people to say "2point4" or "2dot4" - i prefer the former as it represents a numeric version [17:12] KoolD: ok ... same way .. accounts manage add ...there pick protocol as MSN [17:12] !confmiss [17:12] although I'm not using Ubuntu at the moment, I'm just wondering, is anybody here using Flash 10 beta 2, and how does it effect performance on the Linux side?

[17:12] tv7497: I'm sure there is a readme or man ddclient that explains what you need to do [17:12] You're welcome. Go ahead and ask your questions, Pithecantropus [17:12] unop: well it doesn't actually; GIMP 2.12 is a later version than GIMP 2.4, so it should not be interpreted as a decimal number [17:12] Myrtti: okieee thanx for help [17:12] I'm new to Open Source and I really like the whole philosophy behind it [17:13] tv7497: I don't use that software so you'll have to find someone else to help you - I'm not the infinite source of all the information on the world [17:13] ?

[17:15] (of which 50gb are free on one hdd unit, and 30 are on another) [17:15] unop: 2.6.18 > 2.6.2 [17:15] the system is running winxp sp2 [17:15] unop: so same there [17:15] Enselic, i believe it was 2.6.02 back then [17:15] how does it make sense to use 2.4 and then use 2.14? To confuse the enemy? [17:15] got a question about sound... When i have music playing in VNC or any other music program for that matter... Sykpe and other programs dont seem to be able to play sounds. I know this was a hardware problem back in the day of the orginal Soundblaster. Anyone know how to fix this? [17:15] and I planned on installing it on one of the partitions... [17:15] and i meant VLC.. not VNC :p [17:15] ragsagar: Not supported? That's stupid [17:16] unop: no, it was 2.6.2 (google and see) [17:16] unop: your world breaks apart now, doens't it ;) [17:16] bye [17:17] how do you do [17:17] anyone here ? [17:17] sup. [17:17] ragsagar: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3544344&postcount=11 [17:17] cjc: nope, sorry, we left [17:17] Enselic, not really :) i don't perform any arithmetic on these numbers [17:17] thing is, I couldn't get either Ubuntu Studio AMD64 or Ubuntu (both Hardy) to install. Alternate install takes forever (literally), and I could install Ubuntu via live cd as a "part of windows", but it simply takes forever to boot into the OS. In fact, I just reset the machine and go into windows, so I'm not sure if it boots at all. [17:17] anyone happen to catch my sound question? :p [17:17] hey,how many men here? [17:18] all female [17:18] Pithecantropus: Have you checked the data integrity of the install CD yet? [17:18] need help getting ubuntu package that can be installed on PS3 [17:18] ragsagar: I did that and it's not working :S [17:18] Xavura: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-552996.html [17:18] yup, it's the first thing I did [17:18] I booted them up [17:18] well,that's really foolish [17:18] and both install cd's give me the same error [17:18] your ? was very [17:18] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PlayStation_3 [17:19] Enselic, break the number down into major release, minor release and revision increment -- then it doesn't have to confuse you - but then again, not all authors/vendors follow this standard of versioning, it depends really (like i said initially) [17:19] Xavura: explain wat did u do? [17:19] Pithecantropus: Hard to help you when you have no error messages, actually. [17:19] something about initiating i40 some number [17:19] ragsagar: look at the link I posted, it is a post from the topic you posted.... [17:19] can't believe I lost it. [17:19] I added what ti said to etc/rc.local [17:19] and it said it would make it plug and play [17:19] Pithecantropus: I suggest writing it down completely, then posting on the Ubuntu Forums under the Installation help forums [17:19] unop: I'm not confused at all, I was just wondering how it is pronounced by someone that natievely speaks englsih [17:20] Xavura: i think u missed tat topic creatorś previous post [17:20] ragsagar: err which post exactly [17:20] I looked it up last night and the only refference I could find regarding the same error message was something about USB flash drives [17:20] however people who had it could install. [17:20] need ubuntu iso file that can be used to install on PS3 [17:20] Enselic, varies from person to person, preference to preference -- but i guess if a gimp developer refers to gimp 2.4 as "gimp 2dot4" then it's officially that [17:20] I downloaded both ISO's off the Cannonical host. [17:21] i use devede to make dvd but its there a way to get a different title display theme [17:21] burnt them to CD and DVD respectivelly with Nero in a Vista 64 machine [17:21] #ubuntu+1 [17:21] Xavura: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=552996 [17:21] Pithecantropus: sorry - no one here can help without the error message [17:21] unop: nah, most GIMP developers doesn't speak English nateivly [17:21] ok, I'm looking for it in my search history [17:21] What are the essential softwares to be installed after Fresh Ubuntu install [17:22] ps:which do you like most ,c or c++ or pascal or java or..... and why? [17:22] c is so sexual [17:23] rubydiamond, that would depend on what you want [17:23] Enselic, unop So wait. 2.4 came before 2.12? is that what you're telling me here? Also 'most GIMP developers don't* speak...' also i've never head anyone say 2dot4 when referring to program version numbers [17:23] rubydiamond: Firefox :P [17:23] err wait it's on by default [17:23] i am a web developer [17:23] ah [17:23] ah [17:23] I know some great plugins for GEDit [17:23] I am a web developer too [17:23] Enselic, it's not a matter of them speaking english -- it's about them naming their babies, if i were called Juan (and pronounced it with a J) then that's what you really ought to call me, no? :) [17:23] cjc are you trolling first you want to know wh are males now c is sexual sup wit dat [17:23] and err for FTP and SSH and stuff you don't really need to download anything [17:24] !offtopic [17:24] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[17:25] cjc, what is your point? [17:25] ompaul, Don't feed trools. [17:25] what? [17:25] Enselic, he's right i think. if they call it 2 dot 4 then it's 2 dot 4. What i'm saying is i've never known anyone to refer to version numbers that way so it seems likely that they don't either. [17:25] tolls* [17:25] rubydiamond: It could be that GRUB cannot find the boot partition [17:25] The reason it would be called 2 point 4 instead of 2 dot 4 is because it is a decimal point. [17:25] I hate this keyboard... [17:25] it hates you too [17:26] cjc, you are offtopic what point are you trying to make? [17:26] I know [17:26] m-c: what is then solution?

[18:07] how can i mount my hfs-formatted ipod as RW on ubuntu? i have already disabled journaling [18:07] genii: meaning trying Feisty now, which I've never done as this is my first ever -and failed- linux install, would probably not work either [18:07] thebishop, using fat32 may be the best thing to do [18:08] WalloO, i can rw as root now that journaling is disabled [18:08] genii: I swear man, it's all murphy's fault. [18:08] but ubuntu mounts it such that my user account is read-only [18:08] unohu: where is that config file? In ~/.moc there is nothing that sounds like "config" [18:08] genii: as soon as you think about it, shit happens. [18:09] WalloO, i know how to use fstab, but i've found that ubuntu acts funny when fstab is altered [18:09] dennda: there is a config.example file... [18:09] genii: what gets me is that I was very, very much psyched about ubuntu and using it to revamp my old pc [18:09] Pithecantropus: Have you tried that i8042.nomux=1 thing? [18:09] just copy it and edit it.... [18:09] genii: how? I can't even install the OS. [18:09] thebishop, using fstab is a good solution. I use fstab to automount samba shares without any problems [18:10] <_fr1wp> does anyone run ubuntu only as root? running it as a user is pretty annoying [18:10] <|aspire|> he guys sorry to bother you [18:10] <|aspire|> I needed to update my symbolic link to the java binary, so deleted it [18:10] <|aspire|> but no my problem is that I do not have one [18:10] <|aspire|> how can I create it and to which location can I set it? [18:10] unohu: where can I find that config file? [18:10] |aspire|: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:10] _fr1wp, running as root is pretty stupid [18:10] Pithecantropus: I loaded on an old home made pc as well...usb mouse/keyboard...nvidea video...and no problems at all..only thing I think you should do it make sure the ext3 is gone before starting fresh [18:10] and if grub still loads...that says it isnt' [18:10] genii: I'm not familiar with linux terminal commands as of yet. [18:10] WalloO, you don't find that manually configures fstab means devices don't show on the desktop or in "Places"? [18:10] dennda: /usr/share/moc/config.example [18:10] Pithecantropus: When the livecd comes to it's boot menu, use (I believe) F5 or F6 to insert a kernel option at the end of the kernel line [18:11] <|aspire|> look I have not flooded you chanel [18:11] <|aspire|> channel [18:11] _fr1wp, are you a windows user? [18:11] Hi all. I've having issues with my DVD drive (liteon). It seems to be failing automount. It does work, usually after a fresh reboot and quits working after awhile. These are the errors that are being logged in dmesg: http://pastebin.ca/1063852 [18:11] <|aspire|> Did any one read my question? [18:11] timeouts and such. [18:11] |aspire|: java plugin or jre? [18:11] <|aspire|> I needed to update my symbolic link to the java binary, so deleted it [18:11] <|aspire|> but no my problem is that I do not have one [18:11] genii and NetTroll: what's better? to dual boot with linux from an initial windows install, or to dual boot it from an initial linux install? [18:11] <|aspire|> how can I create it and to which location can I set it? [18:11] thebishop, I don't know. I use it to mount remote media files disks for my mythbuntu system. [18:12] unohu: great, thanks a bunch [18:12] Pithecantropus: The first one [18:12] thebishop, if you can't see it in "places", just create a shortcut... :) [18:12] <_fr1wp> i started using linux this summer [18:12] genii and NetTroll: that is, if I format everything, write, format, and do everything I can to wipe the hdd's [18:12] Pithecantropus: I don't think installing from within linux is good..but then I don't know [18:12] sorry [18:12] <_fr1wp> i dual boot ubuntu and xp and i have a laptop with slackware [18:12] installing from within windows [18:12] WalloO, i would prefer it work properly without hacks :) [18:12] <_fr1wp> but why is running as root stupid? [18:12] <_fr1wp> i am root on my laptop [18:13] <_fr1wp> and everything works fine [18:13] |aspire|: which symlink did u delete? [18:13] _fr1wp, becayse you're asking to get demolished [18:13] Pithecantropus: you dont' need to format ...just go into administration..check the drives..see if the ext3 is there and get rid of it..then start again [18:13] <_fr1wp> care to explain [18:13] genii and NetTroll: ok, so if anything I'd have to wipe hdd's, install XP SP2, then reboot, and see if I can get Ubuntu to install this time around. [18:13] hi all [18:13] _fr1wp: Driving without seatbelts works fine too, until you crash. [18:13] !security | _fr1wp [18:13] _fr1wp: Security Updates are dealt with here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Security - See also !root, !firewall and !server [18:13] NetTroller: no, ext3 isn't there. I installed Ubuntu via Live CD Wubi. [18:14] _fr1wp, running as root means if an application is compromised, you're entire machine is vulnerable [18:14] _fr1wp, if you have a security hole inf firefox for example, a hack will directely execute as root, and bypass all security restriction and become the owner of your computer without having to do any pribilege escalation hack [18:14] i'm unable to install vlc player [18:14] Pithecantropus: Yes, recommended is to have windows installed first then use grub bootloader to dual-boot [18:14] Pithecantropus: you need xp too? I just gave this entire HD to ubuntu...have xp on another machine when I need [18:14] need help [18:14] hello [18:14] Hi, I want to install ubuntu on an intel dual core (/proc/cpuinfo reports GenuineIntel cpu family 6, model 15). which version should I use standard or 64 bit?) [18:14] anyone know how to get remote controllers to work? [18:14] i'm unable to install vlc player [18:14] pdenapo: go for standard [18:15] NetTroller: Yeah, I need XP for certain apps like Adobe CS3 or the prodikeys keyboard (it's a midi controller) and Reason or Cakewalk Sonar. [18:15] thebishop, I don't really know how to do what you want since I never did it myself. (My ntfs disk with windows is even not mounted by defaukt) [18:15] kaushal: any error message ? [18:15] NetTroller: I have another machine running Vista 64 Ultimate with 8gb ram on a quad core as my main media editor and workstation [18:15] kaushal, what "sudo apt-get install vlc" says? [18:16] Pithecantropus: k - I dont' know much about the livecd wubi..I thought they were two different things [18:16] <|Juan|> need help here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/244737 [18:16] does anyone know if it is possible to test cd/dvd burning from the live cd? [18:16] Launchpad bug 244737 in gdm "Multiple users login crash" [Undecided,New] [18:16] how i unistalled ubuntu [18:16] pdenapo, I recommand 32 bits one (i386), since it will avoid problems to you if you are a beginner [18:16] pekka: just install something over it [18:16] NetTroller: I wanted to use the athlon as a sound and productivity tool at home, in my room actually [18:16] WalloO, basically, i want Ubuntu's automount daemon to do its job. I just want to "suggest" that it mounts this particular device as rw for users. I've used fstab/umask in the past for this kind of thing, but Ubuntu is more advanced [18:17] pekka: do you want to remove ubuntu? [18:17] unohu: thanks [18:17] I have searched around for hours and have not been able to find a description of how to make a "driver floppy" for ubuntu. Can someone help me out? [18:17] NetTroller: to make music and learn more about linux with Ubuntu Studio. [18:17] <|aspire|> unohu: the one to the java binary [18:17] <|aspire|> this is the message that I get [18:17] wall0: I'm not a beginer, but I'm installing it for a non technical user [18:17] yep..I just wanted to learn it myself..more I use linux...the more I like it :) [18:17] <_fr1wp> ok, but what if i dont go online with the laptop that i am root on [18:17] <_fr1wp> i just use it for programming [18:17] anyone know how to set up remote controller using microsoft remote and receiver? [18:17] thebishop, I understand, but I can't help you [18:17] fact that grub still shows on load says you have something left on HD though [18:17] Tommck: driver floppy??? for what? [18:18] unohu, for a disk driver for a hardware raid card that's not supported in the kernel [18:18] <|aspire|> * no JDK found - please set JAVA_HOME [18:18] <|aspire|> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.06/ [18:18] <|aspire|> this is to what I have set the $JAVA_HOME [18:18] NetTroller: I have to say though, coming from frequent XP, Mac OS, and now Vista 64 use... I'm loving Vista 64 on my other pc. [18:18] I can't find any information on how to make one [18:18] Ok guys I have a problem, Ubuntu refuses to boot into .19 kernel and even the dpkg reconfigure with .19 doesn't show up in the list during boot [18:18] _fr1wp: Sure, just be careful to never run a command that accidentally erases your entire system. :-) === FriedCPU is now known as FRiEd|BnC [18:19] ah..vista is reason I decided to try ubuntu..anyone using vista does nothing but complain [18:19] i'm unable to install vlc player [18:19] need help [18:19] Tommck: sorry dude .. no idea.... === edson is now known as epct [18:19] unohu, no prob [18:19] NetTroller: I haven't had a single problem with it. To be honest, and I know I may be risking my neck here, I've found it to be one of the most solid OS's I've ever used. [18:19] WebcamWonder: maybe the install did not finished ? Tried to apt-get -f install ? [18:19] kaushal, what "sudo apt-get install vlc" says? [18:19] lol [18:20] WebcamWonder: .19? [18:20] i tried that all ready [18:20] kyncani, It was working before, but as I was messing to get my usplash settings correct, now it doesn't :( [18:20] well... Pithecantropus you have to admit..you've learnt alot with ubuntu..that you'd never learn with vista :) [18:20] does anyone know of a good calendaring/organizer program that will simply allow me to jot down a few things per day? [18:20] kaushal: whats the error? [18:20] army: 2.6.24.19 === Bella is now known as C3s4r [18:20] NetTroller: no lockups, no slowdowns, everything's fast as hell... if a program runs into an error it doesn't compromise pc stability at all. It's like everything runs in it's own little bubble. [18:21] kaushal, first, start with the name of the person you talk to, it will hilight your sentece. Second, what is the error if it doesn't install? [18:21] Goodbye, thanks for everything, see you! [18:21] for older machines though...this ubuntu is great..vista forces you to upgrade [18:21] gnome is my primary option. but some kde4 programs do not show the icon in the gnome menu. how to fix it? [18:21] WebcamWonder: so, (again) have you tried to apt-get -f install ? [18:21] Pithecantropus, depends what the crash is... I've experienced many cases where stability was lost [18:21] WebcamWonder: sudo update-grub [18:21] Pithecantropus, it isn't bullet proof, but pretty tough [18:21] <_fr1wp> lynet: how common is that? for someone to acciddently screw thier systenm [18:22] invalid operation vlc [18:22] NetTroller: and from everything I've read that's sort of what I thought I'd get out of Ubuntu, and I was really psyched about learning it well and spreading it around here. Like I said, I really like the open source philosophy and how much it can help information access in developing countries... which is where I am at. [18:22] WebcamWonder: shows your kernel up over there? [18:22] is the error [18:22] army: On wubi, will it matter? [18:22] anyone ever created their own "driver floppy" ? [18:22] WebcamWonder: on wubi no [18:23] NetTroller and erisco: True. I mean I'm not sure how Vista 64 would run on another machine, and I know that the pc I'm running with it is very beefed up [18:23] [18:23] kyncani: sudo apt-get -f install :: thats i? [18:23] kaushal, you run the whole command: sudo apt-get install vlc === tobago|away is now known as tobago === Shadow_X-zZzZz is now known as Shadow_X [18:23] Tommck: your raid driver is not in the kernel? [18:23] correct [18:23] kaushal, that'S quite strange. Run it in a terminal [18:23] Pithecantropus, I have not used Vista much, but what I did notice is that Vista really bogs down a computer [18:23] NetTroller and erisco: I work in media content creation so it has to be. But I absolutely HATE the idea of dishing out unnecessary cash for mac workstations [18:23] WebcamWonder: yep, if a package has not finished installing, that will finish the install. (making sure all packages are configured) [18:23] erisco: Have you looked at google calendar? [18:24] I have an MDF file here ... how do I extract it? [18:24] _fr1wp: Car crashes are luckily not that common, but that does not mean that it isn't a good idea to wear a seatbelt now does it? [18:24] NetTroller and erisco: why go mac pro for 4000 bucks when you can go vista 64 with more punch for much much less? [18:24] m-c, I would rather Google not knowing what I do every day ;) [18:24] unohu, I would really like to be able to make a driver floppy, since I need to install these in 2 computers. [18:24] kyncani: Will try, but it was installed since it was pushed into the repos [18:24] Pithecantropus, amen. but this is kinda #ubuntu-offtopic material [18:24] WebcamWonder: -f install will make sure it's not half-installed [18:24] erisco and NetTroller: ofcourse, my initial idea was to set up that quad core with ubuntu studio though [18:25] erisco: There is a calendar program built into Ubuntu - Evolution, I think - but I have never used it [18:25] kyncani: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [18:25] it's Evolution [18:25] m-c, evolution is more than a calendar, I think I uninstalled it [18:25] anyone here with a amd/ati radeon card? thinking of switching from nvidia to a radeon 4850, need to know whats the quality and stability of the radeon closed source drivers.. also how well dual view is implemented? i have two displays, a 24" and a 22" tft lcd, to connect to the card [18:25] blah [18:25] evolution or sunbird are the 2 most popular [18:25] erisco, NetTroller and macd: but until I managed to get CS3 and my midi controller working on it, I needed to start producing right away [18:25] thanks [18:25] it's working now [18:25] strange [18:25] where is kde4 icon set stored in file system [18:26] Pithecantropus, what do you guys do? 3D animation? [18:26] WalloO> thanks [18:26] it's working now [18:26] blah [18:26] kaushal, you're welcome [18:26] WalloO> [18:26] WebcamWonder: you may try to reinstall the kernel. May be something like sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic [18:26] nck: Perhaps enquire in #kubuntu-kde4 channel about that [18:26] XLV: Yes, I can help you with that [18:26] i have no ideas what u b saying [18:26] <_fr1wp> lynet: thanks for explaining it [18:26] how can i install kubuntu apps in ubuntu ? [18:27] erisco: graphic design, web design, video editing, music creation and getting into motion graphics and 3d animation as well. [18:27] tim3: the same way you install any other applicatino [18:27] tim3: sudo apt-get install [18:27] that is just dfsiufl [18:27] tim3, they are available from the repository. use synaptic [18:27] WebcamWonder: that way, if it cannot be reinstalled because of something you've done with usplash, you should get an error message you can start working with (or tell us) [18:27] erisco: I set up an ad and communications agency about a year ago [18:27] Pithecantropus, the whole works eh? neat [18:27] erisco: yup. step by step. [18:27] i did sudo apt-get install kTouch [18:27] XLV: You should know that AMD released the specification for almost all the ATI-model cards, earlier this year, and there are Free Software drivers being written for them at a furious pace. You can already try out the developer versions of these open drivers, and the drivers for R500 chips and older will be built into the next version of Ubuntu [18:28] does anyone have a "driver floppy" for a piece of hardware that they could send me, so I can study the format? [18:28] tim3: dont use caps [18:28] erisco: it all depends on where ideas take us... or what the clients need, or both. [18:28] tim3: its in main repo [18:28] Ohh sorry guys === belendax|away is now known as belendax [18:28] tim3: open synaptic and search for ktouch. It will tell you the package is named ktouch and not kTouch [18:28] Ok [18:29] erisco: and now with the whole 100 dollar laptop initiative, and the android platform, google's move to open source and spurts of economic growth worldwide [18:29] erisco: I figured open source OS's and apps are a way to descentralize information [18:29] m-c, but do there drivers support 4850/70? and if they dont, or they need more polish, how well closed source amdati drivers work? [18:29] kyncani: Pastebin? [18:29] WebcamWonder: yep [18:29] Tommck: http://www.linux.com/base/ldp/howto/ATA-RAID-HOWTO/preparation.html [18:29] !pastebin [18:29] 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) [18:29] looking for a sound frequency analyzer software .. anyone know of one that will run on linux? [18:29] Hey folks, I have a relatively quick one for anyone around. I had three partitions and Ubuntu on the third. I then merged the first two, so Ubuntu is now on the second one, and it's very confused. It's a fresh install from yesterday, so I can just go ahead and reinstall it if necessary, but I was hoping for a more reasonable solution [18:30] Tommck: did u check the fakeraid howto....doesnt seem like u need extra drivers..... [18:30] army, that's Promise's driver, no? [18:30] erisco: both in content creation to access. And I like the possibilities. [18:30] unohu, it's not Fakeraid [18:30] kyncani: From my understanding, it worked: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25475/ [18:30] Marshalrusty, please explain what you mean by "merging" two partitions [18:30] XLV: Yes the drivers will support the 4850/70 cards, although efforts appear to be starting with earlier released cards. The closed drivers are notoriously poor, on the other hand. [18:30] Tommck: which raid? [18:30] Marshalrusty: just reienstall grub from the livcd, gooing "ubuntu grub windows" will give you plenty of resources [18:30] army, it's HPT1740 Rocketraid [18:31] m-c, as i see it not even the closed source drivers support 4850/70 [18:31] m-c, so i guess i should hold off the purchase [18:31] the sounds arent clear now [18:31] does anyone know if it is possible to test cd/dvd burning from the live cd? [18:31] how to change it to how it was previously? [18:31] bas1234: brasero should be installed on the live cd [18:31] it sounds like old-stereo now, lol [18:31] WebcamWonder: Yep, looks all right. Rebooting into 2.6.24.19 should work [18:31] magnetron: There were three logical partitions (100GB, 100GB, 39GB). Ubuntu was on the third. Now there are two partitions (200GB and 39GB). Ubuntu is on the second one [18:31] bas1234: or any of the other cd burning packages [18:32] kyncani: k em rebooting [18:32] when an app wants to Browse my filesystem (like, File > Save As), it takes an excessively long time to open, for every app. I've been using Gnome for 6 years, never seen this. I'm not even sure where to begin to troubleshoot. Any ideas? [18:32] XLV: I purchased a 3650 and I found it difficult to get dual monitors working with the closed drivers. The open drivers had no problems, but there is no 3D support for R600 chips, yet. [18:32] Marshalrusty, i understand that, but what do you mean by "merging" two partitions? [18:32] magnetron: GRUB failed completely, but that was an easy fix from the CD [18:32] carpediem: do you have a hostname set, and entered in /etc/hosts correctly [18:32] Fryguy--, stupid I didn't think of that ... thanks will go and try now [18:32] Marshalrusty, so what's the problem? [18:32] Fryguy--: hmm, I'll give that a shot. I did just rebuild this machine this week. [18:32] how can i configure ubuntu's automount service? [18:33] hey erisco [18:33] thebishop, that depends, in what way do you want to configure it? [18:33] m-c, got some link of the website of ati oss drivers? [18:33] Fryguy--: yeah, it's set. Is it better to unset it? [18:33] magnetron: The two partitions were deleted and recreated. It's NTFS, so the only way I see Ubuntu being affected is that it's now on the hd0,2 rather tha hd0,1 [18:33] carpediem: no [18:33] Pithecantropus, yes? [18:33] carpediem: is there an entry in /etc/hosts that matches it [18:33] you wouldn't happen to know anything about that Can't read CTR while initializing i8042 [18:33] Marshalrusty, so what's the problem? [18:33] error, would you? [18:34] magnetron: It doesn't boot :) [18:34] in my install attempts? [18:34] Fryguy--: yeah, there's a 127.0.0.1 entry [18:34] Marshalrusty: so reinstall grub [18:34] HELP! I am trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 Gutsy on my inlaws computer, I have four other machines with Ubuntu that have had no issues at all. This machine cannot see the IDE harddrive when I use the installer. [18:34] carpediem: and is it mapped to your hostname [18:34] I did reinstall GRUB [18:34] Question: How do I change ALSA PCM Sample rate? [18:34] Fryguy--: yes, correct, same one as in hostname [18:34] !grub > Marshalrusty [18:34] Marshalrusty, please see my private message [18:34] It loads GRUB and then says "Not found" when selecting to boot Ubuntu [18:34] The drive works no problem, and I can see it when I use the Live Gparted CD to test. [18:34] Pithecantropus, unfortunately no [18:34] m-c, nm, i found it [18:34] what else can i install in ubuntu [18:35] magnetron, it mounts my HFS-formatted ipod as ro for users. i've disabled journaling so rw should be available. it works as root [18:35] acce245, you do it in your recording software.

If I get it to work [18:36] I opened up a KDE4 session alongside my KDE3 one and now I don't hear sound from my KDE3 session. What gives?? [18:36] I'll post back somewhere about it.

Maybe pastebin it [18:37] erisco: and whatever I did to do it. Ubuntu forums. [18:37] Pithecantropus, the animations get pretty intensive do they not? [18:37] erisco: yup [18:37] erisco: processor intensive [18:37] Pithecantropus, I remember trying to render a simple animation of water flowing into a cup on blender [18:37] kyncani: help if i told ya i was under wubi? [18:37] nerdygirl: These open 3D drivers for ATI will be built into the default build of the next Ubuntu release. [18:37] Pithecantropus, took a good 10 minutes at least for the 30 second animation [18:38] erisco: although nVidia has this gelato program that I wish would be more open so that all users could benefit from their GPU's for rendering [18:38] I'm a little new to the whole server seen, but I might be making a DHCP server for the camp I worked for. We shouldn't NEED our own domain for that, should we? [18:38] WebcamWonder: oh, wubi, i don't know how that works (i don't have ms windows here= [18:38] thebishop, you would have to add a line to your fstab file. the line should contain the UUID of your ipod and the "user" option. i can't describe the details, but look for info on fstab [18:38] erisco: new 3d Studio renderers and cinema 4d are fast though [18:38] bobertdos: no [18:38] Tommck: you know its a fakeraid? [18:38] when i enable the accelerated graphics driver and reboot it gives this error:Your screen and graphics card could not be detected correctly.. [18:38] kyncani: menu clearly shows only 17 and 16 listed [18:39] WebcamWonder: Things might run better with running under the LiveCD. Wubi , as I understand it , is just for demonstration , not for long term use. [18:39] says i have to configure display.. hmm [18:39] Fryguy--: I didn't think so [18:39] magnetron, the problem i have with fstab is that ubuntu won't auto-create the mountpoint and show the device on the desktop/Places if i manually configure it [18:39] erisco: but they're all processor intensive. It ticks me off to know people have anywhere from 100 to 800 dollars worth of hardware just sitting there on their pc's, idling [18:39] :) [18:39] WebcamWonder: yeah, i don't know how wubi works, can't help you there [18:39] m-c: don't have a cd-rom to get it working :( [18:39] erisco: without aiding the process - which they really could. [18:39] I am trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 Gutsy on a machine with an Asus K8N mobo, when I use the Live CD Installer it cannot detect any harddrives at all. The drive is IDE. Please help. I have been at this for over 6 hours, and have googled the hell out of it. The closest I can find is something relating to SATA drives, but that doesn't seem to be the issue. PLEASE HELP! [18:39] army - it's not a fakeraid [18:39] WebcamWonder: Ask someone to build you a bootable USB memory stick with Ubuntu [18:39] Tommck: trust me its fakeraid [18:40] thebishop, AFAIK it will show up in Places if you mount it in the /media folder [18:40] army, it's hardware raid. I set up the raid array in the BIOS of the controller... no OS involved. [18:40] Tommck: Incidentally there is some info on making driver floppy disks at bottom of this page http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/i386/ch-boot-floppy-techinfo.en.html [18:40] Does anybody know why I can't seem to find the settings for Gnome clock to prevent it from DST syncing? [18:40] if i manuallt edit menu of grub, will that still work? [18:40] malocite: are the drives detecting in bios, do you know what chipset your motherboard uses for southbridge, and have you located a driver for said chipset [18:40] hi, anybody can help me? http://rafb.net/p/1FRGr040.html [18:40] I'm dual booting, and it's screwing up XP's clock, of course. [18:41] magnetron, yeah, but i'd rather it autocreate the directory the way it currently does. all i want to do is change the permissions/umask [18:41] army, I had had it working before (through a painful way, involving the live DVD).. no mdadm, no LVM, nothing.. one single drive [18:41] bobertdos: set your clock to be not UTC in ubuntu [18:41] its really nice how it creates/deletes the mounted directory by default [18:41] Tommck: not really, driver binds the two disks together based on the information in the controller [18:41] genii, thanks.. I'll take a look === Kopfgeldjaeger2 is now known as Kopfgeldjaeger [18:41] army - there's no driver running when I set up the array [18:41] Tommck - I looked at this on my computer a while ago. Motherboard SATA RAID is known as "fakeraid" [18:41] Fryguy--: Yes they do, and the drives work in Windows, and when I use the Gparted Live CD it can also see the harddrive, but not in the Ubuntu installer [18:41] Tommck: you still need a driver to operate the raid array [18:41] ok guys, I'm off [18:42] Fryguy-- See, that's just it, the setting is not where it's supposed to be. I can't find it. [18:42] m-c it's not on a motherboard [18:42] thank you all for all your help [18:42] Fryguy--, yes. It's so the OS can talk to the controller, no? [18:42] Tommck: Ah, I see. [18:42] bobertdos: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+turn+off+UTC&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a [18:42] Tommck: yes [18:42] Fryguy--, just like you need kernel drivers to talk to ATAPI and SATA... they just happen to be built-in [18:42] I'll be back if you're interested, hopefully with good results. [18:42] take care [18:42] m-c, seems theres support for 4850/70 in catalyst 8.6 linux drivers http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_catalyst_86&num=1 [18:42] Tommck: right [18:43] when that screen pops up it won't allow me to test anything.. bah ati sucks [18:43] thebishop, it will behave like you describe if you add the line to fstab. [18:43] hi I am using Ubuntu and everytime I minimize my windows they disappear I can get them back with alt+tab but, I don't have a clue whats up with that. [18:43] Tommck: its fakeraid but you will find out soon enough. start searching for something like sdg and sdh which will be the real devices [18:43] army: why are you sure he's using fakeraid? [18:43] magnetron, i already added the line, and it complains that the mount point does not exist (/media/ipod/) [18:43] army, we can agree to disagree... there is only one device... /dev/sda [18:44] I am trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 Gutsy on a machine with an Asus K8N mobo, when I use the Live CD Installer it cannot detect any harddrives at all. The drive is IDE. Please help. I have been at this for over 6 hours, and have googled the hell out of it. The closest I can find is something relating to SATA drives, but that doesn't seem to be the issue. PLEASE HELP! [18:44] malocite: i already told you what to do [18:44] YES!!! Finally someone found the right file to edit! Thanks, Fryguy-- !! [18:44] malocite: find the correct drivers for your motherboard and use them [18:44] hi all, i try to use mcelog but it complains about not finding /dev/mcelog , what can i do? maybe create it? dunno [18:44] malocite, in BIOS the drive is identified? [18:44] XLV: The closed drivers do seem to be ready from AMD, from that link information. [18:44] Hey everyone I need help with an XP dualboot/grub problem. Can anyone help? [18:45] !ask | paras [18:45] paras: 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. :-) [18:45] !grub | paras [18:45] paras: 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 [18:45] thebishop, create it and you'll see something [18:45] hi, anybody can help me? http://rafb.net/p/1FRGr040.html [18:45] m-c, think i am getting it... 4850 for 150 euro here [18:45] ovm: did you compile alsa from source? [18:45] How do I set up Windows XP in grub? [18:45] Fryguy--: SOrry, didn't see that , I am using a shitty irc client, as for the drivers for the Mobo, I don't see any reference to them on any website including asus, and other people have used this mobo to install ubuntu without issue. Do you have a link to the site that you got your fix from, I'd love to read it [18:45] Fryguy--: for one reason, the device is only a sata-controller and two they never build hardware controllers in the segment and third I inspected enough of those devices to know this is fakeraid [18:46] XLV: Plus, you can know there will be open drivers coming in the near future. [18:46] paras: i just gave you a link with information [18:46] might be stupid question, but my desktop seems to be slightly zoomed in. I have to move mouse around to see remainder of screen. I made sure i'm not using advanced effects to zoom in, even turned off desktop zoom. Any ideas? [18:46] umm, it says the ati advanced drivers are in use but i can't change the resolution, whats the command to manually change it?!? [18:46] paras: please read === anton is now known as Guest10029 [18:46] m-c, yeah, i suppose we can count on it [18:46] Fryguy--: another hint, start looking into the driver [18:46] fryguy, this problem is a new problem, y had alsa before [18:46] army: my controller card implements pure hardware raid, why can't his? [18:46] magnetron, i want it to create the mount point when the device is connected and delete the directory when the device is removed. this is the behavior for every other device i use, the only problem is its getting the permissions wrong for this one [18:46] m-c, if only they had some uvd support out, i would yank that 6600gt out of the htpc in no time [18:47] fryguy--: How would I (if I could even find them) use those drivers during a linux install? [18:47] Fryguy--: my controller card also implements it, but they're somewhat more pricy [18:47] nerdygirl: System -> Pref -> Screen Resolution , or maybe you need to use the ATI-proprietary configuration tool. (do not know much about that second option though) [18:47] thebishop, look, listen to me: create the folder and the icon will only show up when it's mounted. trust me on this one. [18:47] ok [18:47] there isn't an option to change it under screen resolution, isn't there a way to force i by command? [18:47] XLV: I upgraded from a 6600GT with dual monitors. The open R600 works for me fine, even without yet having the 3D support [18:48] malocite: unsure off of the top of my head, there should be plenty of information about how to load extra drivers in ubuntu livecd on google. A8N is a somewhat common board, i wouldn't be surprised if it was specifically mentioned [18:48] When I try to tab complete a second parameter after already supplying a tab-completed first-parameter with a space, in a bash console, the tab completion breaks. Does anyone know of a fix? This started happening several releases ago. [18:48] thebishop, as long as you added the ipods UUID to the fstab, you'll be fine [18:48] army: how much did tommck pay for his? [18:48] fryguy--:its the k8n.... [18:48] help, how can i create /dev/memlog ? [18:48] Fryguy--: but hardware raid is something for in a SAN, for normal situations software a better solution [18:48] malocite: sorry typo. insignificant [18:48] Hi #ubuntu, I can't get any of my microphones to work in skype, or any detection to occur - I can get video from a usb webcam which has a built in microphone, but that and my manual microphone won't get detected and the test call fails. Please look at my outputs, cat info and levels at: www.cwkx.com/audio.png - does anyone have any ideas? Help is much appreciated [18:48] I had grub working fine with Windows, but since I updated from 7.04 to 7.10, my XP record disappeared. Also, there was a power outage which corrupted my NTFS partition. I don't know how to fix this. [18:48] Fryguy--, over $100 [18:48] angry_on_VIA: install a driver for it [18:48] fryguy--: I was not even able to find a refference to this problem with IDE hdds, only sata ones [18:48] m-c, yeah, i mean if ati had h264/vc1 gpu accelerated decoding out [18:48] Fryguy--: list price is about 115 a 125 [18:48] dollar [18:49] m-c, but i suppose they'll do it, sooner than nvidia at least [18:49] army: there are plenty of pure hardware cards in that space. Mine happened to cost significantly more than that, but i digress [18:49] XLV: *wishes for Ogg Theora decoding support* ;) [18:49] Fryguy--: you have 3ware? [18:49] army: no [18:49] Fryguy--, i am using ubuntu 8.04 , did apt-get install memlog and there it is, but it complains about not findind /dev/memlog, what driver? i have AMD K8 3200+ GA-K8VM800M [18:50] How long does it take a PSU to discharge? I'm switching to a different PSU and need to replace the fan [18:50] malocite: well you have a system that loads the drives correctly, identify the driver being used in that case with lsmod, find the driver, and load it on ubuntu [18:50] malocite, whats the controller you have connected the ide hdd on? the nvidia nforce4 ide ports or something other? [18:50] Lupus: #hardware [18:50] Fryguy--: kthx [18:51] how can I mount an ISO as a Cd? [18:51] Fryguy--: but show me a real hardware raid in the price range. surprise me [18:52] zetheroo: use mount on the loopback interface [18:52] zetheroo: mount -o loop [18:52] army: do I have to use sudo? [18:52] Fryguy, I read the grub documentation, I still don't understand how to properly reference the XP partition in the grub menu.lst. I had it working fine before, because Ubuntu auto detected it. [18:52] hellou [18:53] since the update and the partition corruption, it's not working. [18:53] nerdygirl: which drivers are you using fglrx? [18:53] how can I add some user privilegies like root?

[19:02] MDKSIGN: lsof might be able to give you the information you need on linux machines as well [19:03] Tommck: what it does is the driver takes the two drives present to the OS and then binds them to one new device [19:03] Tommck: don't belief me, read the driver.

Also, when i open /media/ipod, it says the name of the ipod in the file list, which is a little weird [19:05] Tommck: please do, but highpoint has never build and sold a real hardware raidcontroller and the real ones are more expensive. adaptec, 3ware and lsi are suppliers who create true hardware raidcontrollers [19:05] hey guys [19:05] how do I load drivers in Ubuntu? sorry new to linux here.

[19:09] zelrikriando: scroll up i already explained it to you. please pay attention [19:10] Fryguy--, I logged off [19:10] zelrikriando: UDF is the Universal Disk Format, and the VRS is the Volume Recognition Sequence, which identifies the type of data on your CD. It means that your CD driver (thru the kernel) doesn't identify the type of file system on the CD you try to mount. [19:10] Try to remove in /etc/fstab the type of data for cd drive for it to use autodetect without UDF. [19:10] Okay, my book tells me how to copy, remove, print, etc a text file using the Terminal, but doesn't say how to create one using the terminal. Can I do this? [19:10] Mirth321: use the touch command [19:10] profxavier: and for what would you want it for? [19:10] army, I have searched the entire PDF for references to "sda", "sdb", "hda", "hdb", etc. I have found nothing that talks about it combining drives that the OS is aware of into a single device [19:11] I will look that up Fryguy--, thanks [19:11] Mirth321, 'touch emptyfile.txt' :) is one of a dozen ways to create a file [19:11] frankly Myrtti thats really none of your business [19:11] profxavier: then frankly no one is giving you any answers [19:11] Oh, I see. [19:11] Myrtti: uh.. [19:12] Tommck: "Arrays attached to the adapter can be accessed as SCSI devices (e.g. /dev/sda)." <-- this is on page 5-6 === StooJ is now known as StooJ|Away [19:12] Myrtti, when your opped in the room, and have asked everyone in here to not reply, then ill believe that.... but we both know, thats not going to happen [19:12] profxavier, please be polite or leave [19:12] profxavier: I can't think of legitimate uses for a keylogger. Search for one yourself. [19:12] magnetron, also, these things aren't umounting properly. i have 5 "Tom's Ipod"s on my desktop [19:13] Ok guys, found the problem, apparently my Grub menu doesn't update, manual update to includ ethe latest kernel worked [19:13] thebishop, how did you unmount them? [19:13] erm ok in xfce everytime i close a program it doesnt fully shutdown so i have to manually close it in session manger is there an applet that allows me to fully close it like in gnome [19:13] soshka: #xubuntu [19:13] profxavier: as chousuke already told you, there can be very few legitimate uses for a keylogger. I'm fairly sure no legit user even knows how to get them, and so, cannot answer your question. [19:13] i asked and i asked here also...i want the best results [19:14] s/very few/very few, if not none/ [19:14] and i am sure some people in ubuntu might know the answer [19:14] your assuming alot [19:14] profxavier: if you have a legitimate use for a keylogger, please do tell [19:14] xavier? me [19:14] Please, can anybody say me how to install skype on ubuntu-8.04-amd64? [19:14] army, yes.. that means that arrays (many disks together) can be accessed as single disks... that's kind of the point to RAID. How do you read that as "we're combining devices at the software level to fake it" ? [19:14] soshka, you mean the programs just 'hang' instead of closing their windows? how can you tell? [19:14] soshka: I am sure there is somebody in several other channels that know the answer as well. Why not ask your question in a hundred other channels as well? [19:14] profxavier: the channel policy is that we do not help in breaking into computers, assist in piracy or other harmdoing. [19:15] fryguy....i do ask a lot of rooms [19:15] im trying to un rar a group of files stored in parts, like name.part01.rar, what should i use to unrar it? [19:15] hello all [19:15] how do you 'rehash' pam? [19:15] kokand: Consider using the open Ekiga, built into Ubuntu, as an alternative to Skype. Ekiga uses the same protocol as Google Talk. [19:15] Fryguy--: Any known reasons why the grub menu dones't autoupdate to include the latest kernels? [19:15] kevinmcq: unrar-free [19:15] profxavier: as the usage of keyloggers in legit stuff is very rare, we'd like you to explain for us the legit uses you want it to be used. [19:15] WebcamWonder: no idea, i don't use grub, why are you asking me? [19:15] Fryguy--: unrar-free doesn't always work though. :/ [19:15] Fryguy--: will that work? i got it from apt-get but wasn't sure if it would be able to handle part files [19:15] kevinmcq, 'unrar e firstrarpackage.rar' normally :) after you install unrar-free [19:15] Fryguy--: You know quite a few things :) [19:15] m-c: understand. tnx [19:16] i made a few changes to the files in /etc/pam.d/ and the changes aren't appling [19:16] Chousuke: kevinmcq: it's worked for every rar i've ever used it on [19:16] Can someone help me with the ufw firewall? What's the matter with this statement: sudo ufw deny any from 222.221.5.102 to 1434 [19:16] WebcamWonder: i don't know anything [19:16] kevinmcq, if all elese fails, wine can run winrar.exe [19:16] dr_willis_ basically i close it by pressing the x in top right corner, so it disappers from the tool bar that shows all the running progs, but if i switch skype on again it tells me another skype is running so i have to manually go to session manger and close it ther [19:16] word thanks folks [19:16] what do i need to install to get flash to work? I installed flash-nonfree and it still says "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player. " [19:16] Fryguy--: oh? hm [19:16] kokand: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=432295 [19:16] Fryguy--: last time I tried it failed on every .rar I tried :P [19:16] Tommck: read the driver or older manuals, but please put your data on it. always make tape backups, please [19:16] soshka, is it ONLY skype thats doing this? if so it sounds like skype is not closing out its lock files or somthing. === noah_ is now known as wiltonstone [19:17] noah_: any flash program under linux...

[19:17] !ufw [19:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about ufw [19:17] nerdygirl: use df [19:17] !firewall [19:17] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in.

[19:17] nerdygirl: df -h [19:17] nerdygirl, 'df -h' is what i normally use [19:17] or df -l [19:17] why does ubottu give a different program than ufw? Is ufw an iptables front? [19:17] nerdygirl: Applications -> Accessories -> Disk Usage [19:17] wiltonstone, protip: don't ask for help and then change your nick [19:17] df -h work fine, thanks [19:18] fixed [19:18] heheh [19:18] hello, i have compiz desktop cube enabled and i want it to be transparent when i rotate it, but my desktop itself is transparent and i can see the gears moving on the desktop, i already have checked under the transparency tab in cube settings to use transparency only on mouse rotate, yet my desktop is still transparent, anyone know how to get back my normal desktop and still have it transparent on mouse rotate? [19:18] dr_willis it was a system tray that was missing in the toolbar [19:18] When I type java -version I get "Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 10.0-b22, mixed mode)" not the Client one. Anyone know why? (I installed the sun-java6-jre package) [19:18] well, i have installed all the flash plugins, i will check for more [19:18] Fryguy--: i tried unrar-free --extract name.part01.rar and it skipped all the files [19:18] mud: amd64? [19:18] will the generic drivers that came with ubuntu run my ati card fine for games? [19:18] Grell: there's plenty of settings in compizconfig-settings-manager, feel free to edit them to whatever you need, join #compiz if you need more specific assistance with that application [19:19] kevinmcq: i use unrar x [19:19] nerdygirl, most likely - not 3d games. [19:19] nerdygirl: the fglrx ones will [19:19] firewall ^ issue [19:19] you mean like unrar-free x name.part01.rar [19:19] anyone? [19:19] Guiri: iptables is and has been the linux standard firewall for years [19:19] so if i wanted to run say lotro under wine i'm screwed unless i get the ati drivers to work? [19:20] kevinmcq: no i mean like unrar x [19:20] kevinmcq: just like i said [19:20] Great, but my question was on ufw [19:20] good call on that one [19:20] nerdygirl, with ati cards and wine+games. you are often screwed anyway. [19:20] Is ufw a front for iptables? [19:20] Fryguy--: not sure i follow [19:20] nerdygirl, ati drivers are gettting better i hear. But i dont use ati any more. [19:20] unrar (not the free version) seems to work on more rar files [19:20] Guiri: your question was why isn't ufw used, to which i responded. do you have a more specific questin [19:20] Fryguy--: are you saying i should use unrar instead of unrar-free? [19:20] Grell, ive not found one that it dident work on. :) [19:20] kevinmcq: i guess [19:20] blah [19:21] ok thanks [19:21] kevinmcq, use the nonfree one. [19:21] so is ufw a redundant package? [19:21] well, theyre both free [19:21] mud: difference between client en server is optimisation for quick starts or longer runs, but no functiontional difference. server is btw going to be the default one that Sun is going to supply if I'm not mistaken [19:21] is there a better combination ati+3d games+?!?

[20:09] pen, here is it Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition(64 bit)+ [20:09] Billll, it should be the second option [20:09] WebcamWonder, Im trying to run a self company application made in Lab Windows [20:09] Jeffreyf: then, maybe bad wireless agapter? [20:09] m-c: tnx [20:09] Billll, after you choose your language [20:09] najeeb, yes [20:10] i've really never had such a problem happen to me... [20:10] there is no "+" sign [20:10] m-c no havent looked, does it run well with networking without hassle/? [20:10] m-c, is it my idea or you just linked a russian to the greek channels? [20:10] hi, I'm having graphical issues after an ATI HD2600 upgrade. I'm getting a blank white screen on all workspaces. When I rotate the cube, I see the cube, I see the background but all 4 sides of the cube are white [20:10] WebcamWonder, I copied all the dlls reuired into the system32 folder into wine's files tree [20:10] najeeb, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=432295 [20:10] i hink it may not work [20:10] Pizarro2: Not all applications are supported under wine, quite a few api have yet not been implemented [20:10] najeeb, you can follow this guide [20:10] ok [20:10] db92: I had some idea. That was my second guess. [20:10] thank you very much [20:10] m-c, :P [20:10] najeeb, read it throughly and make sure you understand everything inside [20:10] AmritP: Adapter was fine when running Windows.....never worked @ full speed after Ubuntu [20:10] dynamethod: There are many more wikis and open documentation sources available for open source applications. [20:10] Can someone who has experience with installing ATI drivers please help me out? [20:10] najeeb, so reduce the chance of you screw your linux box [20:10] Jeffreyf: ah, then you need the drivers [20:10] WebcamWonder, that's why I wanto to know if the problem I have is either because a bad setup or because a lack of wine implementation [20:11] Jeffreyf: use ndiswrapper [20:11] surwe [20:11] sure [20:11] WebcamWonder, Our application needs a special DLL, whre shall I put it? [20:11] najeeb, you don't have to follow that guide actually [20:11] najeeb, if you get the basic idea [20:11] o my gooooooooooooooooolg [20:11] gold [20:11] najeeb, you can do it your way [20:11] Pizarro2: Either in the application folder or system 32 and register it [20:11] i am looking for the toolbar that is at the bottom of the screen in this photo: http://linuxowns.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/n4.png [20:12] pen: apprently I'm installnig the base system [20:12] fongkwan: There are some open 3D drivers coming out for ATI cards. You can already get the developer versions. If you are interested, then I can provide you the links. [20:12] just give me a minute [20:12] i'll try to understand [20:12] Billll, are you installing now? [20:12] WebcamWonder, that's already done in the XP partition, I'm talking what do I have to do with those dlls at linux's side [20:12] pen: I think I must of reinstalled the base system and maybe that was the error coming up =P [20:12] pen: yes, II just refomated and am isntallnig everythnig agaig [20:13] Billll, do that, make sure everything is reformatted [20:13] Billll, then try not to do any thing strange [20:13] Pizarro2: Your XP partition is in no way connected to your wine "emulation" of windows... it is very much possible that the features that your application asks are not yet implemented [20:13] Hi all. I'm having a strange problem with apt-get: if searching for a package with apt-cache I find the desired ones, but it trying to install them I get this error: Package sopcast is not available, but is referred to by another package. [20:13] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [20:13] is only available from another source [20:13] E: Package sopcast has no installation candidate [20:13] deea: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:14] m-c thank you for your attention to my question. =) At the moment, i have the xorg-driver-fglrx and fglrx-control installed [20:14] sorry for the paste, copied it from terminal [20:14] WebcamWonder, you are saying the wrong thing [20:14] WebcamWonder, so how is supposed that a Win application is ececuted by wine? All win applications have dlls spereaded thru the win partition? [20:14] dear pen, where should i use the code [20:14] DIL, is that toolbar the same as this one: http://linuxowns.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/n4.png [20:14] Pizarro2, WebcamWonder is not saying the right thing [20:14] DIL, it doesnt look the same [20:14] pen: What am I saying wrong? :s [20:15] WebcamWonder, it's not an emulator and you can access your win partition in ubuntu and run it with wine [20:15] pen: That is not the debate here [20:15] fongkwan: Those are the closed-source driver versions, which are notoriously problematic in Linux. As you probably know, the key strength of linux is getting open and free drivers for your hardware, for true ownership of your computer. [20:15] noah_: you can adjust it to be trasparent or opaque [20:15] pen, where should i use the code given in the box [20:15] pen: that is why I place emulation in quotes and he is talking about running apps off windows paritions [20:15] pen, WebcamWonder, What I want to know is how wine does know where are the DLLs that a certain win app needs? [20:16] najeeb, oh sorry, I was looking somewhere else...in your terminal [20:16] DIL, i like the way that it is kinda 3D, sitting on a platform, can you do that? [20:16] Pizarro2, oh, actually if you look into your home folder, show hidden files you can find a folder named .wine [20:16] Has anyone managed to get the sun presentation minimizer to work in impress? No-one's chatting on #openoffice [20:16] Pizarro2, that's where wine store almost all the dlls you can find in a normal win installation [20:16] I would like to have a download queueing system for my linux box. I'm surfing say on a Windows of OSX box, and I find a large file I would like to download. I would like ot be able to right click and some how get that link to my linux box and have the linux box start the download process of that file. (More storage/better internet connection then machines I'm surfing on) And that way when I get back home all my files are there wai [20:17] Pizarro2, and most likely the apps you install with wine will be there too [20:17] Pizarro2: For further questions you may goto #winehq [20:17] m-c In searching for drivers/installation of drivers, Envy popped up, is that something I should continue reading up and trying out? Or in your opinion, I should try those developer drivers out? [20:17] Pizarro2, yes, /join #winehq [20:17] pen, ok, now: If I'm trying to run an app that needs aditional DLLs, ..Where do I have to put them? [20:17] WebcamWonder, ok thank [20:17] noah_: i did it on a laptop and i followed that tutorial and googled to find what i liked you will have to do the same - it was not hard [20:17] TheManiacKY: so right click, get the link, and then use wget to get it [20:17] fongkwan: You should stay away from envy. See : !envy [20:18] Pizarro2: ~\.wine\windows\ <= try that or system32 under that [20:18] m-c, fongkwan there is envyng which is in the repository [20:18] WebcamWonder, OK! that's what I wanted to go" [20:18] Fryguy-- How would I keep the wget session running once I disconnect from ssh? [20:18] TheManiacKY you probably need to SSH into your linux computer and then wget from there [20:18] TheManiacKY: use nohup, or gnu screen [20:18] Pizarro2: Sorry, I couldn't make myself clear, I though you knew the location to wine folders :) [20:18] noah_: there are osx themes you can download [20:19] how do i ./compiz-check [20:19] AmritP: it is a LInksys WMP54GS [20:19] WebcamWonder, no I'm completly new! XD [20:19] ljaysvistakilla: you run just that, if the file is in your current pwd [20:19] Fryguy-- Could I queue up multiple files this way? Just issue several wget commands? [20:19] i install something in root and it inmy trash how do i remove it? [20:19] Jeffreyf: i've always had a problem with linksys drivers and such... so just use ndiswrapper... [20:19] TheManiacKY: sure [20:20] What do you guys bet zune wont work under cedega? [20:20] anyone [20:20] sudo apt-get install skype [20:20] i dont think its there how do i gert it [20:20] ? [20:20] AmritP: Even if I am using the restricted drivers? [20:20] noah_: for example http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=19714 [20:20] ljaysvistakilla: depends on where you put it [20:20] .. [20:20] how do i remove something from my trash if it install in root??? [20:20] im trying to get my video card working [20:20] perlsyntax_: use sudo [20:21] Hey folks is there a linux equivalent to ctrl-alt-del on windows [20:21] then how do i get into my trash them if i sudo? [20:21] Shaba2: ctrl-alt-delete works [20:21] Shaba2: if you want to just restart gui use ctrl-alt-backspace [20:21] I got a runaway program process I cannot stop with the xfre gui desktop [20:21] if that makes snese [20:21] perlsyntax_: use a terminal [20:21] Shaba2, yes [20:21] no I do not want to restart the whole machine Fryguy-- [20:21] Shaba2: so use kill or xkill to kill it [20:21] Shaba2: Open a tty and do sudo killall [20:22] m-c, in that case I'll stay away from Envy. I thought it was my hope [20:22] Jeffreyf: like i said... i have always had a problem with linksys drivers, ndiswrapper uses the windows drivers and lets you use them (and you said that they work under windows right, so this would be perfect) [20:22] just stop this program that is trying to access a bad folder on a cd [20:22] !envy [20:22] envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. [20:22] that is the thing [20:22] Hey i just downloaded the zune installation. Tryed to run it and it says that i cant find a good volume for exctraction. and that it needs permissions. Anyone got a fix [20:22] that didn't work [20:22] how do I found out which process it is? [20:22] AmritP: Thanks! I will give it a shot and will be back. [20:22] how come after installing my intel video drivers under hardware drivers its not there? [20:22] fryguy [20:22] Sudo it, alphaman1101 [20:22] Shaba2: use ps aux to get a list of processes on your system [20:22] Jeffreyf: np :) [20:22] osxdude, will try [20:23] perlsyntax_: if you want to delete something from the trash, delete it. If it has root permissions use sudo. What is the problem [20:23] ok that gave me a long list Fryguy-- [20:23] How fast and how much RAM would I need to effectively make my DHCP server? [20:23] i don't know where to find the trash can in the term [20:23] <__yy_> bobertdos: to just run a dhcp server? not much at all [20:23] bobertdos: a 286 with a meg or 2 of ram should be fine [20:23] perlsyntax_, I believe it's ~/.Trash [20:23] hehe, excellent [20:23] I still cannot tell which one it is [20:24] Does anyone know why permissions change on folders and hardware after I reboot? Owners of a lot of stuff resets after a reboot. [20:24] Shaba2: run xkill and just click on what you want to kill [20:24] osxdude, http://clintrules.pastebin.com/m4a67cefa [20:24] flexgrip: what specifically [20:24] Anyone know why update manager will not notify me of any updates? I have to resort to doing an 'apt-get update' in a terminal manually...... [20:24] i try that [20:24] bobertdos: you can use a 386 with 16 mb of ram and a special distro that turns it into a dhcp/fw if you want... [20:24] I have cacti installed, and my hosts added, but its as if no data is being returned by the hosts. snmpwalk works. any help ? [20:24] didn't work [20:24] perlsyntax_: ~/.local/share/Trash [20:24] the window( or what ever you call it on linux) has a title bar of BeanTownBabe - File Manager. [20:24] Yes, sounds good guys [20:24] oh [20:24] If that helps Fryguy-- [20:25] thanks guys [20:25] Shaba2: kill nautilus [20:25] <_Axel> #plasma [20:25] i try to cd it didn't work [20:25] alphaman1101: hmmmm [20:25] perlsyntax_: maybe it's ~/.share/local/Trash [20:25] !trash | perlsyntax_ [20:25] perlsyntax_: The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [20:25] osxdude, it should be owned by me right? its in my folder [20:26] alphaman1101: yes, of course [20:26] but, alphaman1101 you are running it as root. [20:26] with sudo... [20:26] so that wont work.... === TataYoyo is now known as ibou_ [20:26] pen, have you had success with envying? Recently i upgraded my video card to Hd2600 agp and installed xorg-driver-fglrx and fglrx-control. At bootup, I do have the login page at resolution I expect (1920x1200) but once I get in, all 4 sides of the cube (i.e. workspaces) are blank white. [20:26] osxdude, thats makeing it want to be owned by root? [20:26] Ok that killed the window [20:26] yup, alphaman1101 [20:26] fongkwan, I use envyng and install the lastest nvidia driver without any problems :) [20:26] but the cd-rom is still spinning [20:27] !envy [20:27] envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package.

[20:29] Shaba2, usually restart x is sufficient [20:29] but will firefox pic up where it left off [20:29] i am in root it can't be rm [20:29] how do i doputting the text "SKIP_CHECKS=yes" in the file ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manage [20:29] Is it just me or do the newer versions of Transmission no longer have the option to move the data, but continue seeding? [20:29] perlsyntax_: why not [20:30] Shaba2: Let me take a stab at it. What are you trying to kill? [20:30] osxdude: clint@clint-laptop:~/Desktop$ sudo chown root:root /home/clint/.wine ran it again still the same [20:30] AnythingJe, what do you mean [20:30] perlsyntax_: /home/user/.local/share/Thhrash [20:30] i got it [20:30] osxdude, forgot to set it recurring [20:30] ljaysvistakilla: you are following very old directions for whatever it is you are trying to do [20:30] Fryguy: Sorry, I seem to lose permissions after reboot for stuff like /dev/nvidia0 /dev/nvidiactl and .sabnzbd and .xbmc in my home dir. [20:30] did you make sure you ad the -R.... yea. alphaman1101 [20:30] Ok I was using rissoto picture view to view some jpgs on a cdrom [20:30] pen: well, I want to move my data to a different drive, and in my searches came up with "File -> Move data" but those are old forums from 2007, and that doesn't look like it is an option anymore [20:31] well on of the folders has and error so risotto got stuck [20:31] osxdude, its still [20:31] interesting.

[20:31] but the system is still trying to acess that cdrom [20:31] flexgrip: nothing in your home directory is going to change permissions. Things in /dev/ will since they are recreated on every startup. Add yourself to the correct group to use those devices (or edit devfs configuration so they come up with the permissions you want) [20:31] !ati [20:31] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [20:31] I can hear it spinning and I cannot physically eject it [20:31] is the Zune plugged in, alphaman1101 [20:31] AnythingJe, can't you just remove and host it again? [20:31] Shaba2: What comand sequence did you try to use?

Ubuntu dosnt even see it at all dosnt even see it in the port [20:32] Shaba2: If you do umount it, you'll have to use the force option [20:32] Shaba2: it's umount [20:33] I have a share on a windows box [20:33] im currently working with eclipse and at the project im working on needs tortoise svn 1.3.5 to be installed - whats the equivalent for ubuntu?

[20:33] pen: I'm reisntallnig again [20:33] Billll, select and install software? [20:33] fryguy: I added /dev/nvidia0 and nvidiactl to the group video then added my user account. After a reboot they go back to being on no group at all. As far as the stuff in my home directory, I have done chmod 777 -R .sabnzbd and chown flexgrip .sabnzbd and after a reboot i check and they belong to root.

[20:41] fryguy do i need to upgrade xserver? [20:41] Shaba2: Like I said, you will need to FORCE it. Type man umount to see what the option is for forcing.

[20:44] is there a big difference between VirtualBox free edition and the OSE edition (other then being open source)? [20:44] SliMM: are you the owner/group of /srv?

[20:45] achilles: That should be under System->Administration [20:45] Fryguy--: chmod 770 /srv/svn, not /srv [20:45] The issue is How can I do something ismillar like "regsver32" in win? [20:46] lenswipe: your search domain doens't have anything to do with internet access [20:46] Fryguy--: which is somehow different [20:46] Pizarro2-> those are windows questions eh not ubuntu [20:46] Fryguy--: I didn't change permissions of /srv [20:46] Pizarro2: that doesn't give you the right to come in here and ask us. [20:47] Fryguy--, I don't have the right of nothing, this is a Ubuntu channel right? [20:47] SliMM: ls -lR /srv [20:47] amenado, I'm asking which toll wine has like the win's regsvr32 [20:47] osxdude, well i got some leeway. I got amarock to see the thing at least :P [20:47] Pizarro2: exactly, this is the ubuntu support channel, not the wine support channel, what you are doing is specific to wine and has nothing to do with ubuntu [20:47] lol [20:47] bobertdos: "umount /dev/scd0 -f" says "umount: /media/cdrom0: device is busy" [20:48] good job, alphaman1101 [20:48] Shaba2: use -f [20:48] Pizarro2-> have you visited the #winehq as suggested already?

[20:49] SliMM: so then you aren't the owner or group of that directory, just like i asked you before [20:49] SliMM: its' root:subversion, not stefan:stefan [20:49] Pizarro2-> well we dont know much about wine..good luck to you.. [20:49] hello [20:49] SliMM, you need to be either root or in group "subversion" [20:49] SliMM: chmod 0 means you cant' cd [20:49] Fryguy--: i am in group subversion :-) [20:49] Fryguy--: it does, when that is empty the internet works, when it is set to home the internet does not work... [20:49] SliMM: no you aren't [20:49] SliMM: use id to check [20:49] __yy_: invalid option [20:49] pen: has to be a CD error it happened again at 6% [20:49] I have 2 external HD's Data1 and Data2. What is the best way to copy everything from Data1 to Data2 ? Considering speed.. [20:49] =P [20:49] SliMM, open a new terminal and type "groups" to verify [20:49] been havign problems with CD [20:49] Shaba2: I think you're stuck. If I were you, I'd just wait for your iso to finish, if it can. [20:50] JuJuBee: mount borht drives and copy from one to the other [20:50] Pizarro2: YOu wish to register dlls under wine? [20:50] Na [20:50] <__yy_> Shaba2: it shouldn't be, that's a lowercase L, btw [20:50] what is the most compatibile fs type? I need to have an ext hd readable in osx/linux/windows [20:50] what's the secret to editing files using nataulis on an ftp? using hardy [20:50] thanks bobertdos [20:50] I think that is what I am going to do [20:50] trend: fat32 [20:50] trend try to use fat32 [20:50] trend: maybe ntfs [20:50] trend, windows can read ext2/3 - and linux can read/write ntfs... so i guess you find out what OsX can read/write. [20:50] I have xnview downloading too and that is only going to take 15 minutes [20:50] I will let that go then reboot [20:50] :/ but doesn't fat32 have a 2gb filesize limit? [20:51] stefan@gauss-server:~$ sudo adduser stefan subversion [20:51] The user `stefan' is already a member of `subversion'. [20:51] trend: yes [20:51] trend, yes it does. [20:51] WebcamWonder, yes, I tell you: With this app I had the same problem under win; I had to register the DLL to make the app works proprely, now in wine even the app statrs up, it tells me the same message like in win, but now I don't have regsvr32 [20:51] SliMM: use id to check [20:51] trend then try to limit it below that [20:51] ext3 might be the best solution.. [20:51] SliMM: you probably added it and didn't log out and log back in [20:51] Fryguy--: 4gb if I remember correctly [20:51] Fryguy--: oh, yes, I didn't [20:51] oh, maybe it is 4gb [20:51] Fryguy-- : just a simple cp -R Data1/* Data2/ ? [20:51] achilles: Are you making any progress? [20:51] SliMM: use id [20:51] SliMM: to make sure of these things :) [20:51] Fryguy--: I didn't know I should have, thanks [20:51] SliMM, open a new terminal and check. [20:51] cool, thanks for the input guys :) [20:51] JuJuBee: yes [20:51] Friguy: what is the offtopic channels name again? [20:52] trend: I believe it is 4gb [20:52] !offtopic [20:52] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!

[22:42] I do not want grub to be reinstalled. Prefer to make an entry to it.... [22:42] john__: "/join #channelname" w/o quotes [22:42] k44d33: well.. [22:42] thanks [22:42] ok know I reboot the system or just do the ctrl - alt -backspace thing [22:42] ubuntu-user2, I think as long as you set up your partitions right it shouldn't be a problem, I have windows xp and ubuntu on my computer and it works fine [22:42] thanks [22:42] does KDE's power manager work for gnome? [22:42] ubuntu-user2, you may have to manually eit the gentoos grub config, and rerun the gentoo grub installer to let gentoo controll the mbr. [22:42] ubuntu-user2, ubuntu's installer is pretty good at seeing other os instalations [22:43] Bidget: ok, on step 7 of the livecd installer, clicking on advanced shows "Install boot loader" is checked [22:43] spirits: reboot [22:43] ok be back [22:43] Bah suck. Recordmy desktop has a bug in it. Anyone know if the newer version has a deb package anywhere? (3.7.3) [22:43] Leefmc: can you compile it from source? [22:44] ok guys so it says install boot loader under step 7. and I thought I'd just select my boot device. However, that might cause issues with the previous grub entries getting overwritten.... which is something that is crucial to keep.... [22:44] IndyGunFreak: Maybe heh, being new it sort of sucks. But i will try (i already tried, but i need to install more support for it iirc) [22:44] hey IndyGunFreak is there a command I can use when I type 'make' or whatever to make it go to 32-bit or something? Or something similar? [22:44] Leefmc: hold on a sec. [22:44] Leefmc: where did you download the source code? [22:44] Bidget, are you on a 32bit system at the moment? [22:44] ubuntu-user2, the grub menu.lst will still be there. so you really wont lose much. You will just have to reinstall grub to use the proper root/menu.lst [22:45] unop, no I have an amd64 [22:45] Why can't I play games and listen to music at the same time? :P [22:45] IndyGunFreak: http://recordmydesktop.sourceforge.net/downloads.php [22:45] Bidget, look into cross compiling for a different architecture then [22:45] Dr_willis_: ok cool. Then I can use the ubuntu grub entries and the gentoo grub entries and consolidate them later....? [22:45] Leefmc: did you download the gtk version? [22:45] IndyGunFreak: Dont need the gtk [22:45] unop, ok. Can you point me in any specific direction? Im pretty new haha [22:45] IndyGunFreak: sudo apt-get source gtk-recordmydesktop [22:45] Leefmc: ok, well, i have no idea how to use the cli version. [22:45] IndyGunFreak: The bug is in recordmydesktop, so first that needs to work heh [22:46] Strictmasterr, first, is the external drive mounted read-write? Check /etc/mtab. If it is, then chmod -R ugo+rw [22:46] ubuntu-user2, yes. ubuntu however often auto-updates the grub/menu.lst - so it might 'rewrite' the mbr to use its own menu.lst after a upgrade.. I normally let ubuntu controll the boot loader. :) [22:46] IndyGunFreak: Well, what are you trying to do? I can give you the commands [22:46] Bidget, heh, i would go on google myself :) i don't have any specific bookmarks or such [22:46] popey: its actually sudo apt-get build-dep gtk-recordmydesktop but that doesn't guarantee all sources are met === JoshieP0x is now known as JoshuaP0x [22:46] !de [22:46] Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [22:46] Leefmc: i'm nmot trying to do anything [22:46] i was just curious. [22:46] unop, alright well I'll see what I can come up with thanks :) [22:46] ubuntu-user2, if you have each os on its own HD. you could have grub just boot the mbr of the other hd.. that would keep them seperate [22:47] IndyGunFreak: Ok.. heh, im confused on what you want ;P [22:47] Dr_willis_: no problem if ubuntu wants to control boot sequence. As long as I can handle the gentoo entries, it will be fine. And sounds like it. So I shouldn't change anything in the installer and just proceed to install the to emptry parition, right? [22:47] Leefmc: i don't want anything, you asked about recordmydesktop.. saying you needed more sources. [22:47] Dr_willis_: na 12G hd... old laptop. [22:47] ubuntu-user2, right. then later you look at the gentoo grub menu.lst and copy/paste the proper entries to the end of the ubuntu menu.lst [22:47] Leefmc: try this.. run sudo apt-get build-dep recordmydesktop in a terminal, and then try compiling again.. may/may not work [22:47] IndyGunFreak: Yea, for compiling (zlib, etc), i just need to download them [22:47] lots of people in this irc [22:47] IndyGunFreak: Gotcha [22:48] yep [22:48] john__: that can be good and bad. [22:48] hey guys I found a post that would probably help me quite a bit here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=588744&highlight=zsnes+amd64 but it is for gutsy and feisty, anyone know how I would be able to make it work for 8.04? [22:48] Dr_willis_: sounds like a plan. :) it's not an install if it goes really smooth. :) [22:48] IndyGunFreak: I'm basically getting this guys error though, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=799613 [22:48] i never seen so many hardcore linux users in one place [22:48] lol [22:48] IndyGunFreak: Aside from the broken pipe [22:48] john__: and most here aren't hardcore.. lot of novices here [22:48] john__: you were looking at the wrong place?

[23:46] how to check what drivers are installed? [23:46] giorgos, lsmod [23:46] I mean, you could ask ATi yourself, but they'll probably go all "Oh noez linux = no go sorry" [23:46] Jack_Sparrow: all fixed and working once again :) [23:46] i've set ALSA in Preferences > Sound but totem-xine seems to be using Pulse, how do i make it use ALSA?
