[00:00] Fryguy--, anyone can help? my ubuntu is mute >.<, i tryed alsa, pulseaudio and jackd, but anyone function, jackd says alsa is in use =/ [00:00] can anyone see what is wrong with my fstab? http://dpaste.com/61239 the boot sequence presents an error that says the / partition does not exist [00:00] hi [00:00] jamus: thats not a straightforward task [00:00] I'm sure there's documentation somewhere for ... whatever. I'm just not sure I could have ever found it. === Miguel is now known as Guest62171 [00:00] Is there documentation on wireless for ubuntu? [00:00] Lns: possibly you will see a file created called /var/run/reboot-required if a reboot is required after updating [00:00] eitreach: Run a debugger, and try to understand the reason. You may also report a bug to the gedit package in ubuntu. [00:00] and I don't even know if just copying the one user's files into the other folder will be sufficient! :D [00:01] if I have one machine that is running Ubuntu and I want to install it on another machine from a .iso image on the first machine over network, is that possible using network boot? [00:01] Chaotic_Descent, we've all run into this sometime -- but you have to understand cp does things in a way that is confusing initially -- and that's not usually the way you want it to do things [00:01] japheth, thanks!! That's what i'm looking for :) [00:01] STORAGE DEVICE MANAGER [00:01] will it recognize it if i boot 'as is' with no prep? [00:01] <__yy_> Carbonflux: yes [00:01] Carbonflux: sure, tftp should work. googling ubuntu network boot should give you plenty of results [00:01] Chaotic_Descent, you need to watch out for permissions now that you've copied one user's files into another [00:01] do someone know any working app like xvidtune for nvidia [00:01] Has anyone experience with programs like XawTV or TVtime? Can someone suggest me an app for usage with my old analog Pinnacle PC TV Sterio card? [00:01] oh, I find computers in general do that sort of thing. *half smirk, half frown* [00:01] thanks [00:02] is amarok possible for ubuntu or it will be buggy === __yy_ is now known as __yy [00:02] japheth: Wow! It was cool! [00:02] LLMP: Why wouldn't it be possible? [00:02] LLMP: amarok is in the ubuntu repositories [00:02] ah, rsync didn't handle permissions then... [00:02] gotta still use chown [00:02] becasue it is KDE platform [00:02] LLMP: all of KDE is available in ubuntu's repositories [00:02] Lns: no guarantees this file will be present on your system, but it's a good place to start checking. I guess if you KNOW you're system will need to restart after an update, check to see if this file is there, and then you can even use an automated script to update your machines every evening and reboot if required. [00:03] LLMP: It is pretty stable [00:03] Chaotic_Descent: that's why i said a while ago to use cp -a, it maintains permissions [00:03] A co-worker of mine inadvertently overwrote the /etc/sudoers file with one that is owned by a user other than root. Now all sudo commands reply that the file must be owned by root. How can I change ownership if I can't sudo chmod the file? [00:03] Chaotic_Descent, it does, but it does not reset them in a way you want them done now -- it does not mind-read [00:03] not sure how best to describe my problem but: the display is not properly being utilized, in that a smaller resolution than would use the whole screen is presented in the top left of the screen, below which the graphic interface is repeated. [00:03] So you could use KDE in ubuntu [00:03] zanberdo: boot from livecd or use rescue mode when booting [00:03] LLMP: sure [00:03] thanx [00:03] <__yy> zanberdo: you need to boot into recovery mode. [00:03] anyone can help? my ubuntu is mute >.<, i tryed alsa, pulseaudio and jackd, but anyone function, jackd says alsa is in use =/ [00:03] zanberdo: Reboot into the recovery console. And teach him to be more careful [00:03] japheth: google seems to verify your suggestion [00:03] japheth, yeah - i'm seeing some stuff on google re: that file, looks like it *should* be present when it's required [00:04] <__yy> zanberdo: I did the same thing a couple days ago, unless you've set a root password there's no way to fix without rebooting [00:04] scp -r root@example.com:/home/user/www doesn't work to capture the www directory, why? [00:04] !work | RAdams [00:04] RAdams: 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. [00:04] Fryguy--, his problem was cp copying stuff _into_ the destination directory [00:04] cram it robot [00:04] Lns: macrobad: well, if Google agrees with me, we must be making progress! ;) [00:05] macrobad, and japheth - something that simple (creating a file) makes it SO easy to create scripts to...email/sms/etc [00:05] japheth, heh..totally [00:05] unop: k, and cp -a is still helpful in that situation for maintaining permissions [00:05] RAdams, probably because you didn't give a destination dir? [00:05] hello... my computer freezes all the time and i must reboot it... it just doesn't respons... it does that often when i'm using firefox... and now i had to reboot it 3 times because i played a file (first in totem then vlc) and it crashed... i don't even know what to do. Any suggestions ? [00:05] I think this exercise should teach him to be more careful! :) Thanks [00:05] travis: so now I have to sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop and start from Ctrl+Alt+F2 or something right? [00:05] hey, can anyone give me some help on kiba-dock? Their channel is silent. [00:05] !anyone | yosho [00:05] yosho: 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? [00:05] nickrud: oh... it won't default anywhere? didn't know that [00:05] i mean it didn't crashed it freezed [00:05] japheth: :) [00:05] !kiba [00:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about kiba [00:05] Fryguy--: except that cp doesn't work for this. ok. I think I changed file ownership. [00:05] hello... my computer freezes all the time and i must reboot it... it just doesn't respons... it does that often when i'm using firefox... and now i had to reboot it 3 times because i played a file (first in totem then vlc) and the computer froze... i don't even know what to do. Any suggestions ? [00:06] haha, ok [00:06] Ok. One last question then I shall leave you guys alone. [00:06] !kiba-doc [00:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about kiba-doc [00:06] marko-_-, do you think it could be a hardware (like memory) failure? have you checked it? [00:06] !kiba-dock [00:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about kiba-dock [00:06] RAdams: the manpage for scp details a list of optional and required parameters. give it a read to learn more about the usage details of scp [00:06] Lns, do you know how to check such thing ? [00:06] later. I'm a little (little??) calmer now. (a lot, considering how much I freakin lost it) [00:06] with the ubuntu live cd maybe ? [00:06] after I rebuilt my xorg.conf My wireless usb mouse stopped working. [00:06] Fryguy--, sure, as does rsync -a - which is what he did [00:06] marko-_-, memtest via grub [00:06] thanks for your patience, everyone. [00:06] What must I do to get it to work [00:06] Lns, i don't know how to do that... could you be more specific [00:06] when I start kiba-dock, I get a 128x128 white box on my desktop. no dock. The settings manager crashes when I click anything in it. [00:07] marko-_-, when your system boots, hit ESC and select "Memtest86" from the boot (grub) menu [00:07] glitsj16: i hope i'm not bothering you. did you have a chance to take a look at my fstab? [00:07] yosho: run it in a terminal and see if it gives you an error message [00:07] Lns, thank you! i will try that, be back later then [00:07] Fryguy--: nope, no error. it starts, but doesn't show anything other than that non-selectable 128x128 white box [00:07] i really should go compile my kernel :/ i've been meaning to do it for 2 days now and I keep procrastinating [00:08] :/ [00:08] Fryguy--: and now it doesn't even show that box... [00:08] i cant find my ntfs partition can someone help? [00:08] i end up just sitting in here helping other people instead :/ [00:08] goldbond: sorry, someone at the door, can I pm you ? not sure if i get the whole context on your question after the interruption [00:08] akuma5: fdisk -l will show you a list of partitions on identifiable drives [00:08] * nickrud was just thinking that Fryguy-- seems to be living here recently [00:08] Fryguy--: Use your 8 ball [00:08] glitsj16: please do [00:08] ok ill check [00:08] Kovert: ? [00:09] Fryguy--: People'll remember you! :) [00:09] how would I get a Microsoft Wireless Mouse to work in Hardy [00:09] I ran it -v and got: Glib Object Warning: cannot register existing type GFileMonitor [00:09] akuma5, sudo fdisk -l [00:09] looking for direction -> help with errors in Xorg.0.log file. [00:09] drive not loaded correctly. [00:09] Anyone who knows why I cannot install ubuntu 8.04 ? It comes up with an "cd is acting confusing" error ? [00:09] Mrevox11: What mouse? My wireless desktop worked just fine (better than in Windows where I had to install the drivers first) :P [00:09] Fryguy--: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_8-ball [00:09] anyone know any commands or starting points for re-setting the display? correct resolutions are not recognized and screen is "repeated" [00:09] waltons_pacman: I know i already helped you, and said i can't offer anything else, but when you ask a question like that, include a link to the pastebin as well [00:10] Its a Microsoft Wireless Optical [00:10] Kovert: i'm confused [00:10] giacomo_casanova: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace will restart the X server and reload your config files. [00:10] Ubuntu FTW [00:10] How could I find out exactly what wireless card I am using without opening my tower? I looked in 'hardware information' and all it said was vendor etc and ralink was the vender [00:10] Fryguy--: thanks for the etiquette tip. [00:10] nickrud: compile my kernel for me lol [00:10] It was working great then i had to rebuild my Xorg.conf and now im stuck to using the touch pad on my laptop [00:10] Fryguy--: thats why you need your 8 ball [00:10] <__yy> thiefness: try lspci or lshw [00:10] thiefness: lshw -C Network [00:10] waltons_pacman: not really an etiquette tip, just that anybody who's going to want to help you in that situation is going to be like "pastebin your xorg log". just saves everybody a step [00:10] * nickrud hands apt-get to Fryguy-- (oh, that' [00:10] Angelicaa: what was that error? [00:11] Mrevox11: Then you changed something in your xorg.conf that broke it. Retrace the changes you made and revert back to the proper settings. [00:11] nickrud: lol you should know better :) [00:11] s right, uses one of those off brand *nix's) [00:11] Well its a new xorg. [00:11] looking for direction -> help with errors in Xorg.0.log file. (located here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25810/) [00:11] -> Driver not loaded Correctly <- [00:11] Mrevox11: You didn't back it up first? [00:11] how could i play dvd on ubuntu? [00:11] yosho: It happens when I am booting ubuntu kernel.. Does that help you ? [00:11] I did . [00:11] !dvd | LLMP [00:11] LLMP: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [00:11] Fryguy--: true, good forsight. i do appreciate the hlp. [00:11] Mrevox11: Then restore the backup :) Or just compare the two. [00:11] !dvd [00:12] Would the usb wireless card be listed under Host Bridge? [00:12] LLMP: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/07/01/enable-commercial-dvd-playback-on-ubuntu-804/ [00:12] Angelicaa: does it happen when booting the cd, booting the live session, or installing? [00:12] thiefness, If it's USB then you wouldn't need to open your tower up -_- [00:12] Otherwise I don't see it listed in lspci, and lshw doesn't give enough information [00:12] waltons_pacman: being ultra descriptive and providing as much identifying information as possible is helpful to people. I would also suggest googling some of those errors, see if you can find someone else who has run into a similar issue [00:12] booting the live session [00:12] Mrevox11: You could also try running this command: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (I think that's right, anyway) [00:13] Fryguy--: i have been. for the last two days. my complete: omg im so confused this is what is wrong can be found here. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5340127#post5340127 [00:13] check the disk for errors, Angelicaa [00:13] E.g.: fdisk /dev/hda (for the first IDE disk) [00:13] or: fdisk /dev/sdc (for the third SCSI disk) [00:13] or: fdisk /dev/eda (for the first PS/2 ESDI drive) [00:13] or: fdisk /dev/rd/c0d0 or: fdisk /dev/ida/c0d0 (for RAID devices) [00:13] waltons_pacman: ah, ok [00:13] thiefness, have you tried lshw -C network ? [00:13] Question: If I set up ubuntu to automatically unlock my SSH key at login time (storing my passphrase), is that stored in encrpyted form? (presumably with my login password?) [00:13] akuma5: fdisk -l [00:13] witch one is am i suppose to us? [00:14] and if someone gained root access to my machine, would they be able to crack that and get at my passphrase? [00:14] SeaPhor: yes, but it doesn't give a model name or anything like that, i'd like to be able to find if anyone else has had success getting it to run smoothly [00:14] Fryguy--: feel free to check it out and think on it overnight, post back. ^_^ [00:14] The GUI doesn't display when I try to boot into Ubuntu (all I get is the CLI (and I have tried "startx", which has given me errors: "Fatal server error: no screens found")). [00:14] oh sorry [00:14] <__yy> Tepps: try sudo /etc/X11/gdm start [00:15] Ok, thanks [00:15] yosho: can I do that from my terminal in mandriva ? I cannot open "Configure my computer" atm. on it [00:15] ok. I tried that command and It just asked a bunch of questions about my keyboard.

[00:15] Ahadiel: it is usb based, but it is within the tower as it comes already installed [00:15] <__yy> akuma5: please stop doing that [00:15] so what would I need to do next? [00:15] oh oh sorry [00:15] waltons_pacman: do you have an i810 driver on your machine (i'm flat out guessing here) [00:15] wont do it again [00:15] eh? no, on the livecd. it's an option right when you boot [00:16] tepps: possible that the monitor/video driver isnt installed correctly, im still stuck in my video driver issue, but look at the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. look for Section "Screens" or something along those lines. [00:16] how do i export my calendar from Evolution ? [00:16] waltons_pacman: also are you using 8.04? [00:16] yosho: Will try now .. I will come back later ;) [00:16] what model again thiefness ? [00:16] Alright [00:16] hello [00:16] Fryguy--: you would be correct. at least i can boot x-session with driver "i810" in the xorg.conf [00:16] Fryguy--: yes [00:16] I changed the mysql root user pass and now a lot of install scripts fail with this 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'. How do I fix that? [00:16] waltons_pacman: can you not use the intel driver ? [00:16] Fryguy--: Ubuntu hardy 8.04 [00:17] Smegzor: how did you change the password ? [00:17] can i export my calendar from Evolution ?~i read somewhere there should be a 'save to disk' option but i cant find it [00:17] <__yy> Smegzor: use the -p option for mysql [00:17] directly in mysql [00:17] Smegzor: explain how [00:17] waltons_pacman: this seems like a known bug from this error https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/91966 [00:17] ikonia: i can, but apparently, from fryguy, there are errors in my driver load i think that may be my wine problem.

[00:18] anyone here run ventrilo [00:18] i'll find the page I followed. 1 moment.. [00:18] Has anyone experience with programs like XawTV or TVtime? Can someone suggest me an app for usage with my old analog Pinnacle PC TV Sterio card? XawTV cause a blank screen... [00:19] waltons_pacman: there seems to be a workaround like 85% of the way through that launchpad btw. give it a try [00:19] waltons_pacman: Edit /etc/defaults/acpi-support, to comment out "POST_VIDEO=true". [00:20] Fryguy--: since im a noob, what is the syntax for whatever language its written in to comment? // or # or /* */ or whathave you [00:20] does anyone know what "Check root=bootarg cat /proc/cmdline or missing modules, devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev" means?

[00:21] hello all. now before i get told all about sudo...which ive used many many times and understand......would i break things by setting a root password?. i know in theory it should work..but are there things im overlooking which would be affected? [00:21] I had to stop the server and update the root user setting a password [00:21] Kernel: no [00:21] Smegzor: what is the method, please give me the exact command you used [00:22] aestrivex, never used one, but type dmesg in a terminal after plugging it in may give you a lead [00:22] Fryguy--: how did you find it so fast? ive been doing everything from google to form post to irc chat for two days now. [00:22] I can't paste into this window. I'll have to pastebin.. [00:22] Fryguy--: ok. i was pretty damn sure...but i just needed some confirmation. thanks :) [00:22] waltons_pacman: quick summary of how you got it going please. [00:22] waltons_pacman: googled first (EE) message in xorg.log, without the memory addresses [00:22] Fryguy--: PS still dont know if it fixed it but that was a very fast output for so little search criteria [00:22] Kernel: Just in case, you've overlooked, try 'sudo -i' [00:22] Hello. Would anyone be willing to help me with port forwarding issues? [00:22] ikonia: ill keep you informed no forward progress as of yet [00:22] hi i just loaded ubuntu yesterday and i am trying to figure out how to run ventrilo,i run it thrugh Wine and it loads i just cant hear anyone talk, and i cant talk myself [00:22] !ask | corollax [00:22] corollax: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [00:22] macrobad: ok will check that now. [00:22] is there a way to change brightness of the laptop per commandline? in earlier ubuntu version i was able to 'echo 10 > /proc/acpi/LCD/brightness' or similar. how is it done in dapper? [00:23] is my calendar stuck in Evolution ? why cant i export it ? if its not possible i could just as well use a proprietary software! [00:23] rdz: Dapper? [00:23] Kernel: You'll like it! ;) [00:23] ikonia: correction, no definitive forward progress. [00:23] ah macrobad i normally do sudo su - [00:23] ;-) [00:23] Flannel, yeah, on that dapper, i could do it as i said.. but how do i do it now? [00:24] Fryguy--: still, what is the comment out syntax? # i assume/ [00:24] tim167: http://www.google.com/search?btnG=Google+Search&q=export+evolution+calendar [00:24] waltons_pacman: yah, that's what i said before. [00:25] waltons_pacman: it's the standard unix config file comment style [00:25] anyone help? I would really like to stop using the touch pad. And i would like my mouse to start working again. [00:25] Does ubuntu have a problem with connecting with static IP configuration to a wireless WPA2 encrypted network> [00:25] tim167, i couldn't find it either, but when i reinstalled ubuntu i just copied everything from ~/.evolution to the new ~/.evolution and it worked [00:25] Fryguy--, macrobad, I'm back. I tried the tcpdump/ping combo. Unfortunately, while I did manage to intercept packets from my other computers, I don't think I captured any ping packets. Of course, I don't know what those look like anyway. Maybe this is because ping didn't know where to send them? because of the "destination host unreachable"? [00:25] ikonia http://pastebin.org/49494 [00:25] but that was to transfer mails, not calendar... but i suppose it is the same for calendar [00:25] rdz: yes but i want to export as ical to import it in google calendar [00:26] tim167, ah i see [00:26] rdz or even csv, some easily parseable format [00:26] Smegzor: thats why you've borked it === selocol_ is now known as seloocl === seloocl is now known as selocol [00:26] my dmesg is overflowing with this message [ 2523.233540] atl1 0000:02:00.0: hw csum wrong, pkt_flag:1600, err_flag:80 which seems to be repeating every tenth of a second [00:27] ikonia Yeah I knew that :) How should I fix it? [00:27] !gconf [00:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about gconf [00:27] Smegzor: well because of how you've updated it, your options are limited [00:27] how can I put garbage icon on my desktop ? [00:27] i'm a bit concerned by that but i have no idea what that means or if it has anything to do with my webcam because it keeps going when its unplugged [00:27] shade1: So, you are saying that other computers' packets reach your interface, but your own do not leave it? [00:27] does anyone know if the Kworld PlusTV HD PCI 120 tv tuner works on ubuntu 7.10? [00:27] Smegzor: you may want to stop mysql, restart it without the --skip-grant-tables, and hope that dpkg can prompt you for a root password when it needs to [00:27] limit options are better than none. How should I have done it? [00:27] ok [00:28] MKARGAR [00:28] Smegzor: mysqladmin and created a root@localhost user [00:28] good to know :) [00:28] macrobad: not that I can tell, but I'm not sure, since I don't know much about ping's packets [00:28] Smegzor: or mysql grant all privileges on *.* to 'root'@'localhost' identified by 'password' [00:28] hmm.. actually I set/changed the password because I could not log in with mysqladmin [00:29] need help with a printer issue [00:29] novak, run gconf-editor. under apps, go to nautilus, desktop, then check the icons you want on the desktop [00:29] Smegzor: basiclly the default mysql account doesn't need a password (it doesn't actually have one) so that dpkg can update it when needed, you've changed the password, so locked it out [00:29] :D [00:29] yo [00:29] I thought i installed it fime when I click to print a test page it seems to try then nothing [00:29] does wireshark have be ran as root? because it's not picking up my network cards as normal but it works as root [00:29] Hi I am trying to add a new user in ubuntu server 8.04 with this command: sudo adduser matt. However no matt home folder was created. Does any one know why?? [00:29] fine* [00:29] Smegzor: does that make sense ? [00:29] afallenhope: usually yes === ubuntu is now known as oneofnine [00:29] yip [00:29] thanks Fryguy-- [00:29] Smegzor: super [00:30] brb trying your suggested fix [00:30] lexmark z32 is the printer [00:30] ok, im trying to change my account to root, as its the only account that is used, i try to log the account named "root" and it says system admin cannot log in from the log in screen, any ideas? [00:30] Barracuda: i'm 99% the home directory isn't created until the new user logs in [00:30] Dream: you don't use the root account on ubuntu [00:30] how do i get aim for lunux [00:30] macrobad: so, what do I grep for to find the ping packets? there's always the chance that I made a mistake, and didn't actually ping during that period. And maybe "host unreachable" means it gave up before even sending the packets. [00:30] gam3r111: use pidgin [00:30] gam3r111: use pidgin [00:31] gam3r111: we went through this earlier, remembrer. [00:31] im using pidgin [00:31] gam3r111 pidgin does aim [00:31] i want aim for linux [00:31] gam3r111, its so old, its not worth it. use pidgin. [00:31] gam3r111: AOL don't make a linux client any more [00:31] Can anyone help me with a ventrilo problem [00:31] i want msn on ubu, but i use my laptop insted [00:31] gam3r111: should be available on aim.com's site, it's very old though [00:31] ubunubi:I see let me give it a try thanks [00:31] shade1: I don't remember it by heart, hold on. [00:31] but im not sure how to install it [00:31] gam3r is just trolling everyone, he spent 20min earlier saying he wants to use AIM for linux, not pidgin, how do i compile it, etc.. [00:31] gam3r111: it won't run properly on ubuntu [00:31] gam3r111: use pidgin [00:31] anyone know what happened to the calendar export function in Evolution 2.12.1 ? [00:31] gam3r111: you dont need to use AIM for linux... just use gaim or something [00:32] gam3r111: or mail aol and ask them to make a compatible client [00:32] barracuda:: if that doesn't work you can force a specific home directory using adduser --home DIRECTORY === edcrypt is now known as edcrypt_ [00:32] gam3r111, i think the dependencies won't allow it on ubuntu [00:32] macrobad: One quick, unrelated question: after I saved the tcpdump to a file, I (foolishly) tried to read it with cat. The result was to change my character map, so that half of the letters on my screen were unreadable. do you know of anyway to reset the char map without rebooting, for future ref? [00:32] shade1: tput -reset [00:32] gam3r111: you could probably install AIM 6 with wine if you wanna get your hands dirty [00:33] ikonia: thanks [00:33] shade1: type reset [00:33] reset [00:33] oh, im not shade [00:33] this is dmesg's output besides the incessant errors which i have no idea where they're coming from [00:33] [ 2752.455458] input: VF0410 Live!

[00:33] shade1: so, just add icmp to the end of the command, like 'sudo tcpdump -i eth0 icmp' [00:33] !work | gam3r111 [00:33] gam3r111: 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. [00:33] gam3r111: what's the problem with pidgin ? [00:34] gam3r111: any reason why you want to use that instead of pidgin btw? [00:34] pidgin doesn't support video chat or photo sharing, for one [00:34] pidgin is sweet [00:34] ubunubi: neither with aol for linux [00:34] ubunubi: neither does oscar afaik [00:34] macrobad: does that tell tcpdump to filter for that, or to bother saving those packets? [00:34] o because i cant send files to my friends using pidgin and pidgin dosent have the correct sounds [00:34] macrobad: could I use grep on the saved packets instead? [00:34] try EMAILING the photos, and send VIDEO files ^^ [00:35] gam3r111: it does support file transfer [00:35] then be happy ^^ [00:35] gam3r111: so have your friends send you sounds, and yes, you can sendfile w/ pidgin, i do it all the time [00:35] Dream: that's a lame work around. why not just send e-mails instead of pesky instant messages to begin with? [00:35] gam3r111: you can customize the sounds fine, and pidgin works with sending files just fine, you have a problem with your network if it doesn't. running a compatibility layer to get another app working isn't going to help you at all [00:35] but if they are using aim it is always a failure [00:35] Why can't you send files via Pidgin, gam3r111? constant failure? [00:35] gam3r111: it works, we can help you debug that [00:35] shade1: it would bother about the ping packets only. As for the second question, no, you cannot use grep on tcpdump file, but you may feed it to tcpdump, afaik. [00:35] dil says he suked you all in [00:36] Ubununi, exactly :P or, just get a 2nd computer to use AIM on >_< and play on ubu on a 2nd [00:36] ok please help [00:36] ubunubi: I ried log in with the new user I created and still no home folder was created fo that user. Any idea what is going on [00:36] I think my gksudo is broken. whenever I run apps using it.. it freezes the app [00:36] ? [00:36] so noen knows anything about running ventrilo with Wine? [00:36] Is anyone having problems with Hulu on 8.04? Videos play fine, but they'll randomly freeze up firefox and if you don't pause it quickly, Firefox will stop responding altogether. [00:36] steven__, I've heard of people doing it [00:36] gam3r111, What happens when you try to do a file transfer.

[00:54] gam3r111: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove the entry that you don't want [00:54] Fryguy--: nickrud so now what? [00:54] !work | q_a_z_steve [00:54] q_a_z_steve: 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. [00:54] macrobad: ip: 192.168.1.10 netmask: 255.255.255.0 gateway: 192.168.1.1 [00:55] shade1: It might be a driver problem. If everything else fails, it is most likely to be related to drivers. [00:55] Fryguy--: you can remove wubii entries from menu.lst? [00:55] macrobad: the gateway assigns dhcp starting at 192.168.1.100 [00:55] IndyGunFreak: no idea [00:55] fryguy: it says access denied [00:55] gam3r111: so use sudo [00:55] !sudo | gam3r111 [00:55] gam3r111: 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) [00:55] I'm trying to go from Feisty to Gutsy and I keep getting an error about "failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty-security/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2" [00:55] tell me the exact command i need to type [00:55] IndyGunFreak: Did all the steps and it didn't solve the problem. [00:55] anyone know how to fix that? [00:56] jmallin: did you reboot? [00:56] should i update 8.04 to 8.04.1? [00:56] macrobad: so, what do I do to get the right driver? I already spent a ton of time trying to fix it via drivers, but maybe you'll know something I couldn't find. [00:56] Yes.. I rebooted after I disabled the drivers and again after the final step [00:56] shade1: Two things. First, can other machines ping the gateway? For example, in our network, even ping traffic is filtered out. [00:56] Fryguy--: nvidia-xconfig still complains that it's not running, which is probably something to do with http://qazsteve.pastebin.org/49507 [00:56] I can't get tilp working it says it can't find caculter but i have plug in with the usb cord? [00:56] please [00:56] IndyGunFreak: Yes.. I rebooted after I disabled the drivers and again after the final step [00:56] ok i'm completely lost now with my webcam [00:56] i still cant get it to work on any other applications [00:56] macrobad: yep [00:57] i have been running around looking for fixes or patches [00:57] macrobad: and the second thing? [00:57] jmallin: well, i can help you, but you're gonna have to compile an older version of madwifi, and use a patch I have.. i can rapidshare both of them to you, this s a problem w/ a small percentage of those devices [00:57] and all it has brought me is more confusion [00:57] shade1: Second, can you show 'ip link show | grep eth0'? [00:57] gam3r111, are you in ubuntu [00:57] jmallin: type this w/o quotes.. "/join #indygunfreak": [00:58] hi everybody [00:58] is this just an issue that UVC is poorly supported [00:58] zonkers: you are already updated, it's integrated into normal updates [00:58] zonkers: it's not a dist-upgrade [00:58] because it looks like some people have had similar problems but there are also a bunch of people that look like they've been relatively successful with webcam functionality [00:58] I need help with my asus M51se [00:58] at least for simple applications like camorama [00:58] ynot: yes [00:58] Gui doesn't work [00:58] ok that's it, i've had enough, i'm leaving later guys [00:59] Fryguy--: thanks for your help [00:59] fryguy. ok, thanks, will there be any kernel upgrades in the 8.04 LTS releases? [00:59] but for the life of me i cannot figure out why this webcam is not showing up under /dev [00:59] Anyone know how to setup xp for a dual boot with ubuntu pre-installed [00:59] Is anyone here part of the ubuntu laptop testing team? [00:59] macrobad: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25812/ [00:59] aestrivex: What model cam is it? [01:00] in terminal type sudo -i then type gedit then from gedit open the boot/grub/menu.lst file [01:00] macrobad: I typed that in, so it might not be 100% accurate [01:00] is there a program for ubuntu that will run macros like on windows like shortkeys or keytext just something that will run text for me [01:00] cchance: Yes, I just did that. It's perfectly doable but very annoying. [01:00] its a Creative Live! Cam VideoIM Pro [01:00] VF0410 product number [01:00] I have a 2nd HDD, how do I get it to be automatically mounted (so I don't have to click on it in places before other apps can access it)? [01:00] bobertdos, i know what you mean. But how did you do it with xp pro setup? [01:00] aestrivex: hold for a bit, let me look... [01:00] the UVC page says its fully supported === Grat3ful_Ganja is now known as theFATMAN [01:01] shade1: It need not be. Let me google for LOWER_UP, 'coz it looks suspicious. [01:01] cchance: want to switch to PM? It's easier for me. [01:01] gam3r111, did you uninstall the wubi install [01:01] bobertdos ok [01:01] zonkers: i have no idea [01:01] how do i test if my webcam is working? === Obi_Bong_Kedoobi is now known as theFATMAN [01:01] !webcam | IMANOOB [01:01] IMANOOB: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [01:01] !webcam [01:02] fryguy thanks [01:02] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [01:02] +OK YDe6x.rU5mR1 [01:02] ynot: yes [01:03] aestrivex: It looks like it is supported with V4L, not V4L2. Have you tried using Skype or Ekiga (select V4L driver)? [01:03]  i have ubuntu hardy and it used to be installed with windows using wubi... but i partioned it so i have an ubuntu partition and a windows partition and i un installed ubuntu that was in windows but it still shows up on the windows loader how do i get it off> [01:03] gam3r111, did you select not to load grub when you installed the new hardy?? [01:03] does anyone know how i could get tilp working? [01:03] V4L [01:03] no [01:03] ? [01:03] ok ill try that in ekiga [01:03] I have a server with 8 cpu but I have on top status that mysql and many httpd process take 100% of CPU for each one how thats going on ? and is that's run on 1 Cpu or that 100% for 1 Cpu or all Cpus(8 Cpus) ?? [01:03] ftr it seems to work in luvcview [01:04] fryguys says i need uvcvideo driver [01:04] aestrivex: Aye, some of the apps that use web cams are now supporting only V4L. [01:04] aestrivex: I've had this issue using Cheese. [01:04] it doesnt look like its working with V4L either [01:04] xserverx: maybe they are being hammered, or maybe they are stuck doing something, or maybe you are reading something incorrectly, (100% is all cpus IIRC, not sure about gnu top for that, i use a different top) [01:05] +OK KSg/P/2prI31.DIlX.NJkkZ09WT5c/NHjdT0.CK3m.ipQwT.GGo8g0kAMYp/jZUNo1p7t8n1txKVm1CoA7n1 [01:05] aestrivex: Can you test this on another computer? [01:05] that would take me a while to set up [01:05] the webcam is brand new [01:05] gam3r111, then how is it stil useing the windows boot loader??? [01:05] aestrivex: This would ensure your cam is not damaged. [01:05] and it is working with luvcview so i dont believe its a problem with the hardware [01:05] aestrivex: Good point. [01:06] shade1: well, it seems that LOWER_UP doesn't mean something bad. Now you have proper ip configuration. So, routing and firewalls have to be verified. [01:06] what i'm most confused with is that the cam is not recognized under /dev/video0 [01:06] dmesg reveals this: [01:06] [ 2752.455458] input: VF0410 Live!

[01:07] Carbonflux: you need to try envy or manually install drivers fron nvidia's website [01:07] ok [01:07] is envy ok to use? [01:07] in grub i can choose ubuntu or windows/ loader and when i klik windows it comes up with 2 options vista or ubuntu and if i click ubuntu it says somethiing about i uninstalled wubi and what not [01:07] aestrivex: IMANOOB has a good point - check if you have the uvcvideo driver. [01:07] !envy | Carbonflux [01:07] it lools easy heh [01:07] Carbonflux: 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. [01:07] Carbonflux: make sure to use envyng, as envy is deprecated for 8.05+ [01:07] How can one add a program to the applications in a keyring? [01:07] shade1: Since the ip link show says that the device is up and running, it is not an obvious problem with drivers, at least. [01:07] i just installed the uvc driver [01:08] i just want to get uubuntu off the windows boot loader [01:08] thank you :) [01:08] macrobad: the only thing that makes it seem to me as if it isn't driver problems is the fact that I've tried two nics, both of which have exhibited the same problem, and both of which were recognized properly [01:08] let me find it for the records [01:08] gam3r111: probably edit boot.ini [01:08] gam3r111: in windows [01:08] gam3r111, oh didn't know it did that [01:08] heh, I am hoping to get the 9600 working so I can use it to run blender :) [01:09] it does [01:09] I added a sftp connection in Nautilus and I am connected to the server and such, but why can't emacs open up the remote files on my computer, but someone else with the same setup can open and edit remote files directly with emacs. [01:09] i want a way to edit it in ubuntu [01:09] Does anyone have ubuntu running on a HP pavilion dv5000 (AMD64 CPU)? [01:09] jtm, theres the sshfs - thats totally transparent to all programs.

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [01:10] shade1: Let's check routing and firewalls first [01:10] gam3r111, so what is happening is win boot shows you 2 sets of ubuntu? [01:10] Dr_willis_: I wanted to just do it through nautilus, I think though that the application needs to be on the keyring to see it. [01:10] gam3r111: so then mount your ntfs partition and edit it in ubuntu [01:10] no it shows ubuntui and windows === sancho is now known as izmeh [01:10] agh i cannot find uvcvideo on the system log [01:10] How do I make my brightness control have more levels? [01:10] macrobad: ok [01:10] it is filled with some random error which keeps repeating itself [01:10] its quite bizarre [01:11] but it keeps going on when my webcam is unplugged [01:11] i have no idea what it is [01:11] fry guy: how [01:11] aestrivex: [01:11] jtm, a lot of times if its not a gnome app. they canhave issues with some of the gnome file manager 'special' things like sftp, or smb:\\ or other special urls like that [01:11] fryguy: how [01:11] aestrivex: assuming it is the same error repeated, paste one line of it.. [01:11] jtm, i just use sshfs, and have them set up when i login, that way every app sees the remote ssh machine as if the diretory was local.

[01:12] synaptic indicates that the uvcvideo package is installed [01:12] Dr_Willis_ I see, ok [01:13] um no scratch that [01:13] it says luvcview is installed [01:13] ynot [01:13] it says it cant mount the volume [01:13] jtm, i dont alwyas use gnome. :) so i perfer the sshfs way. since it dosent require any window manager at all. [01:13] aestrivex: Ah! By the way, according to http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/98760, that error message has to do with packets that are too short. [01:14] i installed uvcvideo using the instructions on this page [01:14] gam3r111, are ubuntu and win on same drive [01:14] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-593231.html [01:14] gam3r111: be root [01:14] umm yea but partioned [01:14] shade1: Btw, switches can be tricky as well... let's come back to that in a moment [01:14] how can I install amavisd-new === Jonathan_ is now known as jmallin [01:15] hello [01:15] so that packet error has nothing to do with my current problem [01:15] fryguy:?

Have you rebooted since installing uvcvideo or run 'modprobe uvcvideo'? [01:15] i downloaded some on gnome look.org [01:15] gam3r111: use sudo [01:16] i did reboot [01:16] like the start button on xp [01:16] yea but how do i mount it [01:16] i didnt run modprobe [01:16] gam3r111: use sudo [01:16] how do i do modprobe [01:16] ...press Start when you want to shutdown... [01:16] nickrud, monit could be used to replace init.d scripts, right? [01:16] gam3r111, go to terminal type sudo -i then type nautilus [01:17] !lnw [01:17] Want to know the differences between Windows and Linux? This guide, called "Linux is Not Windows" is a pretty good read -- http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm [01:17] aestrivex: You'd use modprobe to manually insert the kernel module. First, let's check two things. Run 'lsmod' and see if uvcvideo shows in that listing. You may have to use 'sudo' to get it. [01:17] fryguy: like the start button on xp,i found some on gnome.org,how can use? === mysterycool is now known as bra [01:17] yes uvcvideo is there [01:17] my ubuntu hardy laptop "forgets" my network settings (name and password) on a regular basis. Anyone know whats going on? [01:17] spiniker_numb: if it's part of a theme, just use the install theme button on appearances menu [01:17] aestrivex: OK, the module is loaded and is working, so there's no need to modprobe. [01:18] i know im not supposed to make look like xp,but my sister isnt really familiar with linux [01:18] i wrote a tutorial on how to maintain an ubuntu system that mixes packages between distributions. hope it helps someone http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/96509133/m/301004223931 [01:18] ok, good [01:18] spiniker_numb: you can make your desktop look like whatever you want [01:18] I've dismounted a thumbdrive, and now it won't show up when i plug it in. Any solutions? [01:18] izmeh: remount it manually === gardar`afk is now known as gardar [01:18] hey guys, I have a question. I had ubuntu installed, but I accidentally broke it. When it broke, so did GRUB. So, I installed ubuntu onto a new partition, while leaving the old broken one. This fixed my GRUB problem. If I were to delete the whole partition of the first one, would that screw up GRUB or my windows partition? [01:19] yeah i know,its just for the sake of familiarity [01:19] how do i go about doing that? [01:19] just so they can also use my ubuntu desktop [01:19] hi, I have renamed all the SCSI subsystem drivers (so Linux can't load them) and all the SCSI subsystem drivers are compiled as modules, but strangely the SG_GET_VERSION_NUM ioctl returns the sg driver version, how is that possible if the sg (and all the SCSI subsystem) driver was renamed and it is not loaded ?? [01:19] ynot: still says it cant be mounted [01:19] aestrivex: on that 'lsmod' you ran, did you see the spca5xx module? [01:19] izmeh: pmount-hal [01:20] shade1: in order to test the firewall (assuming you're running kernel 2.6 and using iptables), you'd have to check out the follwing commands: 'sudo iptables -t filter -L', 'sudo iptables -t nat -L', 'sudo iptables -t mangle -L', and 'sudo iptables -t raw -L'. They should be more or less empty. [01:20] felix: i should have that as well [01:20] bullzeye95: I think it would not - just as long as you did not boot to that old partition [01:20] bullzeye95: probably not [01:20] thank you [01:21] macrobad: ip route and rule: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25817/ [01:21] felix: no, i cant find spca5xx there [01:21] gaminggeek, prob cuz the drive is mounted as ubuntu since it same drive but diff partitian [01:21] oops [01:21] although i did install that the other day === bra is now known as m8 [01:22] that was meant for gam3rllll [01:22] Fryguy--: use fdisk to get the info correct? [01:22] izmeh: i guess [01:22] do i need spca5xx in addition to uvcvideo? [01:22] macrobad: ok, I'll try those [01:23] aestrivex: It's possible that's in the kernel instead of a module. We can try running 'sudo modprobe spca5xx' and see if it accepts. [01:23] :o [01:23] anyone cna help with a bcm43xx wlan card? when i boot my system i have to eject the card and when its booted i have to type in the command sudo modprobe bcm43xx [01:23] its been ages since I last joined a channel with more than 300 users [01:23] hello people need some help [01:23] possible to run this stuff at startup so i dont have to do it all the time ?

There are many similarly named models, but that particular one has no support. http://hardware4linux.info/component/35516/ [01:24] Fryguy--, its empty :) [01:24] klos: You might consider purchasing a USB or PCMCIA wifi device, if all else fails. There are linux driver issues with many wifi cards these days. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/32516 The cost of a wifi device may be much less than the effort required to enable and maintain a difficult to support wifi device with non-free drivers. They are less than $20 these days, some less than $10 at Fry's Electronics. No one is that broke they c [01:24] annot afford one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_open_source_wireless_drivers [01:25] macrobad: I may have typed it in wrong, let me check. I tried the iptables commands, and none of the categories had any rules, that I could tell. [01:25] klos: scroll through the page.. [01:25] aestrivex: One last thing to try...hold one... [01:25] klos: it's certainly not an empty page, unless your browser is broken [01:25] felix: according to http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ it is supported [01:25] shade1: that means that there was no firewall configured. [01:25] uh ok :) [01:25] took soem tiem to load haha [01:25] m-c: problem is, how many do you buy before one works the way you want [01:25] felix: as well as according to http://opensource.creative.com/webcam.html [01:26] shade1: So, what's left? [01:26] can some1 help me out [01:26] it still doenst solve my problem, its not a problem with the network card, its an ubuntu issue [01:26] daggerx: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=B90&q=ubuntu+wpa&btnG=Search [01:26] alright, I deleted the partition without a problem :). Now, if I were to boot into it, would anything bad happen? [01:26] the network card works fine, just ubuntu always wants to load the wrong driver, i think i have to blacklist something and put the other driver in the modules [01:27] daggerx: you'd better stick to NetworkManager (default with Ubuntu). If not, you'd have to install and configure wpa_supplicant. [01:27] my ubuntu hardy laptop "forgets" my network settings (name and password) on a regular basis. Anyone know whats going on? [01:27] thats what i have [01:27] i have it installed [01:27] configuration: broadcast=yes driver=ndiswrapper+bcmwl5 driverversion=1.52 [01:27] macrobad: well, you were right about the gw, apparently when I rebooted because of the char map error, it forgot about the gw, but I added it back in. [01:27] has anyone here ever used google talk / skype successfully under vmware running xp, on ubuntu? [01:27] my wpa sup list has enabled=0 in it [01:27] my wpa conf is empty [01:27] i am trying to connect to my home computer via Tight VNC. How do I connect when I am not on it's network. I have the WANip and LAN ip as well ass port 22 forwarded. [01:27] my lo is in the interface file [01:28] macrobad: also, that first ip address was supposed to be 192.168.1.0/24, not 192.168.0/24 [01:28] bob3213243: vnc uses port 5900, not 22 [01:28] fryguy so I just need port 5900 forwarded so that local ip? [01:28] bob3213243: yes === Jesus is now known as Guest78702 [01:29] aestrivex: Ah, I see what you mean. The last step, then, is finding the applications that accept the UVC driver. [01:29] daggerx: That is what I am speaking about. You either let NetworkManager configure it for yourself, XOR let the NetworkManager do it, and trust me, it is better to leave this job to the NetworkManager, and not to edit any files by hand! [01:29] macrobad: hmm, well, I think that there's still a chance (minor?) of driver problems, because lsmod claims that neither of the two drivers that are supposed to be used by my nic are being used. There was also the possibility of the switch causing problems, or routing, I think you mentioned. [01:29] macro i didnt [01:30] i left it alone afteter i did the ndiswrapper from that no fluff stuff page [01:30] compiz fusion that comes with ubuntu, when im looking for themes for it, i should look for emerald themes, yes? [01:30] i did what it said and I got nothing [01:30] lastnode: yes [01:30] Now that I deleted my broken ubuntu partition, how would I go about deleting it from GRUB so that I don't accidentally try to boot into it in the future? [01:30] shade1: Yeah. If the IP settings are correct, it is either the driver, or the switch (I doubt, a router). === abuse is now known as Dr90210 [01:30] felix: apparently other people have had success in getting the UVC driver to run with a variety of standard applications with other camera models [01:30] bullzeye95: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [01:30] Fryguy--, thanks [01:30] is there a way to run my Microsoft keyboard and mouse elite for bluetooth on ubuntu? [01:31] ah, ok, thanks. I couldn't remember the path [01:31] name the file and ill tell u what in it [01:31] i dont understand why this one is different [01:31] im also wondering about google talk and vmware, has anyone tried it? [01:31] interfaces has the lo loopback [01:31] lastnode: pidgin works with google talk, as for vmware, that works fine as well === Dr90210 is now known as busyTM [01:32] Fryguy--, i have a webcam driver that doesnt work under *nix, will it work in vmware? [01:32] lastnode: probably not [01:32] ok Fryguy--, thanks, that's pretty much the only thing that's keeping me dual booting. that and starcraft, but that i can run in a window [01:32] shade1: Try to sniff the trafic with tcpdump, or check the switch config, or check the same card in a different environment. [01:33] shade1: Sorry, I cannot suggest anything else remotely. [01:33] macrobad network manager is showing my wnetworks [01:33] but when i try to connect i cant [01:33] macrobad: well, this card just came out of a working computer, so I know the nic is good; the only problem is that it was on a windows computer, so I don't know how well linux supports it [01:33] Hey guys [01:34] haha, another problem. I don't know which ubuntu partition is left :( [01:34] lol [01:34] aestrivex: I had to check something myself. /dev/video0 shows up when I plug in my Quickcam IM. [01:34] I got a kubuntu live cd I would like to add the KDE desktop to my current ubuntu install [01:34] shade1: run ubuntu livecd on that machine! [01:34] Thing is, I'm on really slow internet [01:34] daggerx: hmm.. [01:34] How do I connect to a wireless network using terminal? Wireless network is secured using wpa personal. [01:34] Can I dl the pakages fromt he cd ? [01:34] MariachiAC: use iwconfig [01:34] ive done a little homework [01:34] felix: that's weird [01:35] and even it I leave the files the way they are, i still got nothing [01:35] felix: different applications are detecting the presence of the camera, even though they can't use it [01:35] daggerx: what's the name of your interface? [01:35] Friguy-- I do that iwconfig wlan0 essid "network name" Then what? [01:35] as in drop down menus recognize that there is a video device called Live! Cam VF04 whatever [01:35] macrobad: the switch doesn't have any configuration, it's just a switch. Unless it has some sort of button on the back. I could try sticking the cable in another jack, but we already verified that the physical layer worked [01:35] aestrivex: For ekiga, I had to purposefully pick the V4L driver over the V4L2 driver, but you mentioned that doesn't work for you. [01:35] what is the codename for ubuntu 8.04? [01:35] Edgy? [01:35] yeah it doesnt work [01:35] <____Max> I'm having huge problems with hardy lately. Firstly, the terminal screen is blank, firefox wont start, my sounds not working with pidgin, everything's falling apart. [01:35] Shiba: Hardy Heron [01:35] thx [01:36] wlan0 [01:36] i believe [01:36] Shiba: hardy heron [01:36] how would I comment a line on GRUB's menu.lst? Is it # or ##? [01:36] thx [01:36] bullzeye95: # [01:36] felix: oddly enough one of the instructions that i came across indicated that uvcvideo only worked with v4L2 and not with v4L [01:36] shade1: ah, ok. Actually, switches might be very complicated, and support VLANs, i.e. even if physical layer works they can mess up stuff on the mac layer. [01:36] logical name: wlan0 [01:36] thanks [01:36] bullzeye95, look in gparted to see what drive or partition you edited [01:36] at least iirc [01:36] daggerx: you're lucky [01:37] aestrivex: Hate to say it, but I'm out of ideas. You could unplug the camera, run 'ls /dev > list1.txt', then plug in the cam and run 'ls /dev > list2.txt', then compare them both. That'd at least show you if there is a dynamic /dev file. [01:37] whah - what do u mean [01:37] daggerx: I am almost sure I know what's your problem [01:37] :) [01:37] ok ill try that [01:37] ha [01:37] see - i told u i did my homework [01:37] what's /etc/mtab? [01:37] I don't want to have to wait 3 seconds for the GNOME calculator to start for a quick calculation. Is there anything that will help? Also, how do you say GNOME? I say it like Gee-Nome [01:38] eboyjr: nome [01:38] my screen reader says it as nome [01:38] eboyjr: try bc for your calculation needs [01:38] eboyjr: or ganome [01:38] <____Max> Does anyone know how to fix my problems? This is a really weird issue, and I don't feel like restarting my computer every single time it happens. [01:38] and its pronounced Guh-Know-Me [01:39] Shiba:: I'd rather use the GUI... plus the terminal takes 3 seconds too [01:39] and i dont want to leave my gui [01:39] ok macro - what my issue [01:39] noam [01:39] guh know me sounds cool [01:39] felix: the two files are exactly the same [01:39] I like the termnal for simple stuffs, GUI for complex stuffs [01:39] macrobad: well, even if part of the problem is the switch, I think we would have caught some icmp packets, right? [01:39] i have no idea why the device isn't being read [01:39] it's noam, the g is silent [01:39] daggerx: In my case I also have wlan0, and it doesn't always work, but I've found a workaround. The problem is that the new kernel network stack (wlan0 instead of eth1 tells me about it) has a bit different way to configure. If you're running Ubuntu 8.04, I can just post my scripts in order not to explain all the stuff. [01:39] it's embarrassing... I'm horde and I'm using GNOME >.< [01:40] hello room [01:40] !ot [01:40] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [01:40] shade1: right [01:40] What do you know, another problem... I don't have permissions to edit menu.lst. How would I get the correct permissions to edit it without messing something up like I usually do? [01:40] or why it seems to be partially working [01:40] even though its not being read [01:40] daggerx: 8.04? [01:40] yup [01:40] good neight for all [01:40] DarkAudit: wow player, eh? [01:40] can u email em [01:40] would that be easier or here [01:40] daggerx: hold on, let me paste them [01:40] hello [01:40] What do I type to gain root access in dolphin? [01:41] can i install ubuntu on my esata drive? [01:41] ubunubi: yep... I get a fps hit in WINE, but it runs just fine with Hardy [01:41] Ericthegreat, not sure. isnt esata just a sata port outside your pc? [01:41] no hurt to give it a try [01:41] kinda yea i guess [01:41] yes you can [01:41] What do I type to gain root access in dolphin? [01:41] DarkAudit: what video card? my hd 3850 is barely playable in org at 1024x768 [01:41] Hey guys, I just installed the lamp-server package (metapackage?) and now when I ps -A it shows 6 instances of "apache2." Is that normal? thx [01:41] you just have to boot of of usb/firewire [01:42] whats a MUD? [01:42] ubunubi: nvidia 7800 GS [01:42] bob3213243: what you tried running dolphin with sudo? sudo dolphin [01:42] MUD = multi user dungeon [01:42] i just do the norm install but to the external drive? [01:42] DarkAudit: what screen res...and fps? [01:42] Ericthegreat, the drive should be detected like everything else [01:42] emphasis on _should be_ [01:42] yes. by the way, what size is it? [01:42] so ----> Graphical installer [01:42] Commie_Jebus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUD [01:42] 500 gig [01:43] thats great [01:43] it should work well. [01:43] it wouldent all go to ubuntu lol >.>; [01:43] ubunubi: 1440x900... I can get ~40-50 fps in quiet areas... ~15-25 in Black Temple... do you have -opengl at the end of the launcher command? [01:43] DarkAudit: yes. and all the pixel shaders and what not disabled too. ATI drivers just suck that badly [01:43] smaller esata drives/flash drives burn out quicker with an os on them. that's why i asked. [01:44] ah i c [01:44] strixv, yes [01:44] DarkAudit: what server ar eyou on? [01:44] lol these are wonderful ubuntu-related questions [01:45] ubunubi: Dark Iron... member of Panda Attack, the pvponline guild [01:45] daggerx: the first is here --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/25820/ === mike is now known as Guest78138 [01:45] eboyjr: stop whining then. either use the calculator, or fix it so it doesn't take so long [01:45] daggerx: the second is here --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/25821/ [01:45] eboyjr: you've got the source code, profile it [01:46] DarkAudit: ah. i have a rogue alt on dark iron from a long time ago but have mains on archimonde [01:46] Fryguy--: Sorry, but one last question :P. I don't have the permissions to edit menu.lst. How would I be able to edit it without messing something up? [01:46] daggerx: you should backup your current versions, then substitue them with updated ones. [01:46] bullzeye95, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [01:46] thank you [01:46] bullzeye95, but you should never have to edit the file directly .. [01:46] daggerx: as soon as it is done, you should be able to 'sudo ifdown wlan0 && sudo ifup wlan0' to bring it online. [01:46] bullzeye95: use sudo [01:46] im getting strange glibc runtime error with my code [01:46] I shouldn't have to edit it directly? why is that? [01:47] *** glibc detected *** ...............: invalid next size (fast): 0x0804b028 *** [01:47] wtf? [01:47] could I change things another way? [01:47] tvrtko, well what's your code [01:47] bullzeye95, because you should let the package scripts set it up [01:47] tvrtko, want to paste the source on pastebin or such? [01:47] bullzeye95, what are you trying to do? [01:47] sweet, which file to open to edit with this [01:47] I deleted an ubuntu partition, and I want to remove it [01:47] using malloc on a char array and than free. nothing special [01:47] daggerx: The changes I've made to the scripts are related to the order the commands are executed, and to some parameters. [01:47] it was broken [01:48] bullzeye95, but you still want to boot ubuntu? [01:48] char * mystring = (50 * sizeof mystring) [01:48] free(mystring) [01:48] daggerx: It's written in the beginning of the file. [01:48] yes, I have another partition installed though [01:48] ah [01:48] tvrtko, what language? [01:48] I just wanted to remove the boot option for the old one [01:48] c [01:48] gimme a minute [01:48] tvrtko, char* mystring=malloc(char[50]); free(mystring); see how that works for you. i am not honestly sure abotu your syntax [01:49] anyone decent at scripting want to write me an RSS script for terminal? :D [01:49] ill upload full code somewhere wait [01:49] bullzeye95, all you should have to do -- considering you are running the ubuntu install you want to keep. sudo update-grub -y [01:49] so macrobad, if you're not too tired, what do you want to look at first, routing, or drivers? [01:49] bullzeye95, err, sorry. sudo update-grub [01:50] so im assuming the sudo gedit deal [01:50] Hi, Im new to ubuntu, Im having problmes with sound/audio when flash player play sounds it blocks Desktop sounds or multimedia apps, and viceversa [01:50] shade1: :) Well, I was preparing to go to sleep already, but still I'm waiting for daggerx. So, let us start from routing. [01:50] daggerx, gksudo gedit rather .. don't use sudo with X apps [01:50] is there a good small quick image editor for quick simple edits when you dont want to load gimp for more complex stuff? [01:50] joshual, gthumb [01:50] daggerx: It would work, but don't forget to backup the files! [01:51] I am not running the install. Do I still need to manually edit it (or is it the easiest way)? [01:51] joshual, but it depends again on what you want to do ? [01:51] daggerx: Also, sudo nano might be easier. [01:51] xtknight: http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/5733 [01:51] macrobad: ok, how does routing work? I've looked at route -n several times now, and everything seems ok, but I don't know if that's all there is to it, or whether I've done it properly. [01:51] why cant linux run mac apps I mean there both unix based but it can run widows which arenot related in any way === gardar is now known as gardar`afk [01:51] oh, sorry. I read your message wrong [01:51] bullzeye95, well, if you know what you are doing - there is no stopping you from editing it -- but the recommended way is to use update-grub, it regenerates the menu.lst based on your system's setup [01:52] Commie_Jebus, that is offtopic here [01:52] bazhang: ISNT THIS #UBUNTU [01:52] Commie_Jebus, linux does not run windows apps -- wine does [01:52] sorry for caps [01:52] tvrtko, ok i can reproduce it. i will let you know if i figure out what's wrong [01:52] Commie_Jebus: its ubuntu support, thats not a support issue. [01:52] Commie_Jebus, take it to offtopic [01:53] xtknight: seems like the problem is in malloc [01:53] well, I just commented out the boot options for the broken one. Is that the only thing I have to do to update it? If not, I'll just do the other thing you said. [01:53] unop: basically just crop [01:53] joshual, gthumb then [01:53] tvrtko, ive never seen this before, but that doesnt mean it's incorrect. sizeof *result [01:53] hiiiiiiiiiiii [01:53] unop: cool thanks [01:53] bullzeye95, that ought to do, yea [01:53] ok, thanks a lot :) [01:53] hi [01:53] shade1: To start with, as a sidenote not all the routes are displayed there. Honestly speaking, there are dozens of "system" ones, which should never be modified. You should be looking at routes to the networks you're connected to straight away, and then to the default gateways. [01:54] sizeof (char) gives the same error [01:54] how can i install apache? [01:54] hi anyone know how to quick make the start bar pop up like in windows [01:54] tvrtko: You need to malloc one more, for the null. [01:54] tvrtko, are you adding an ull.. [01:54] ya what eh said [01:54] sonofawhore, you should change your name first, it's really not appropriate in here [01:54] he even! [01:54] unop: eyeofgnome doesnt do it does it? that seems to be the default image viewer [01:54] sonofawhore: whats it for? === sonofawhore is now known as erohwafonos [01:54] shade1: routes to the networks you're connected to, are identified by the network address in the first field, and zeros in the second. [01:55] Flannel: dont understand [01:55] erohwafonos: sudo apt-get install apache2 [01:55] kenbw2: webserver [01:55] erohwafonos, not funny [01:55] tvrtko, malloc one more char for the terminating null [01:55] tvrtko: Come to #ubuntu-offtopic [01:55] macrobad: ok [01:55] tvrtko, (1+str1_len+str2_len)*sizeof(char) [01:55] shade1: routes to gateways are the other way round, plus they are marked with "UG" letters usually. [01:55] hi i need help loading an unlisted tv tuner in Ubuntu for the cx88 chipset [01:55] xtknight Flannel [01:55] erohwafonos: to view php files? [01:55] hi [01:55] xtknight Flannel yeah i understand, ill try it [01:55] well, from the last time I looked, the network was 192.168.1.0, and the gateway was 192.168.1.1 [01:56] can eyeofgnome crop? [01:56] macrobad: whoops, I forgot to put your name on that last one [01:56] joshual, i'm not sure it can, but i wouldn't be surprised if it does === SuperLag_ is now known as SuperLag [01:57] shade1: as long, as you have ip: 192.168.1.10 netmask: 255.255.255.0 it should work ok, and you should be able to see two lines in the 'route -n' output: the network line, and the gateway line [01:57] mike3454: do you want a start button? [01:57] is there a way i can make my own keyboard shortcuts [01:57] unop: apparently not [01:57] just want a shortcut like the windows key , [01:58] joshual: try imagemagick if you goal is to crop something [01:58] hi people! [01:58] Alt+F1 by default [01:58] joshual, whatis eog eog (1) - a GNOME image viewer # that says it all :) [01:58] mike3454: Alt+F1 by default [01:58] Hey, just out of curiosity does anyone here happen to know if Wubi determines what sort of processor you have (32/64bit) before downloading the distro image? Or a way to check which its installed? [01:58] unop true [01:58] need some quick help with a bash script, anyone available? [01:58] shade1: That's it about routing, unless you have played with iptables, which you told you haven't. [01:58] Maslow: uname -r [01:58] cool thanks [01:58] !anyone| crh0872 [01:58] crh0872: 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? [01:58] Thank you Fryguy--. [01:58] shade1: Do we check the drivers? === SeaPhor is now known as C [01:58] crh0872, /join #bash [01:58] unop thanks [01:59] macrobad: nope, I didn't know about iptables until you mentioned them [01:59] macrobad: sure [01:59] how can i make files antivirus stealth? === C is now known as SeaPhor [01:59] erohwafonos: what? please elaborate === crh0872 is now known as calman [01:59] shade1: Ok, iptables - is a generic firewall / routing tool for linux starting from 2.6 [01:59] erohwafonos, Create a rootkit. [01:59] lol. [02:00] !ot [02:00] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! === SeaPhor is now known as C === C is now known as SeaPhor [02:00] hi i need help loading an unlisted tv tuner in Ubuntu for the cx88 chipset [02:00] i don't want clam av to detect my file [02:00] so what do i have to change? [02:00] victor__: what is the card [02:00] erohwafonos: lol [02:00] ok i copied and pasted both files [02:00] erohwafonos: wrong channel [02:00] shade1: So, let us identify your drivers. If you're using PCI card, you can use lspci to get the model number [02:00] whats the easiest way to test this [02:00] kworld ATSC 120 [02:00] erohwafonos, take it elsewhere [02:01] okaay [02:01] bazhang, Is it ok to tell someone where elsewhere is? [02:01] or conexant cx23800 === SeaPhor is now known as C4-Boom [02:01] Yo [02:01] shade1: now do modprobe -l and try to find your stuff there [02:01] Maslow, PM him [02:01] I'm sad [02:01] I can't start Ubuntu [02:01] It goes to some busybox crap [02:01] And just a command line [02:01] shade1: or lsmod === C4-Boom is now known as C4-Bang [02:01] This happened after I installed Compiz Fusion [02:01] Any ideas? [02:01] macrobad: I've tried two nics. The first was a Davicom dm9009 10/100, and the second was a realtek rtl8139 10/100, which is what I have in there now. both times the card was recognized, and the driver modules loaded, but lsmod claims that they aren't being used. [02:01] help help! i am getting a kernel panic, right now i am in a live cd and i can see my / partition and mount it; what i am guessing is that i installed startupmanager and it gave me an error but shutdown, and when i rebooted i got the kernel error, what can i do to either a) reinstall the kernel on the root partition, b) removing startupmanager from the livecd and restoring it how it was, or c) fixing it another way !! [02:02] Kcaj: so find out what happened and fix it, try /var/log for starters [02:02] Where would I go to learn what the outputs for uname -r mean? Is there a page on the wiki that describes it? [02:02] macrobad: ok, be back in a second [02:02] daggerx: do you have dhcp or static addreses? [02:02] Yeah well, it is difficult when I can't get online while I am doing that [02:02] Hey noob here. I've had a dapper server running fine for months [02:02] I am not n00b, but close [02:02] dhcp [02:02] kernel_ghost: Conexant CX23800 or Kworld ATSC 120 [02:02] just upgraded to hardy [02:02] is there anyway to remove something like eyeofgnome without removing ubuntu-desktop package? [02:02] shade1: do you have an onboard nic === C4-Bang is now known as C4-GiterDone [02:02] im on an rj45 right now [02:02] maslow: uname -r tells you your kernel version [02:02] victor__, sudo modprobe cx88 card=67 for kworld atsc 120 as you mentioned yesterday. http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb?cmd=file;file=linux/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.cx88;filenode=-1;style=raw [02:02] I'll go check /var/log but I mean... maybe if I start in safe mode it will work? [02:02] joshual: you should be able to just go sudo apt-get remove eyeofgnome [02:02] Apache now needs 'apache2-default' in my url find files [02:02] I forgot where this was. [02:03] shade1: err... how does lsmod claim there are not used. I've though lsmod tells whether it is loaded or not. If it is listed bu lsmod, then it is loaded. [02:03] apt-get remove eog actually [02:03] I did not know that. Thank you. [02:03] hey xtknight i did that and it tells me the driver is unknown/generic [02:03] maslow:: open terminal and type uname -r..you can see the exact output [02:03] daggerx: ok, then can you paste output of 'ifconfig wlan0' and 'iwconfig wlan0'? [02:04] FAJALOU: apt-get wants to remove ubuntu-desktop [02:04] Though, could I move all of the files from apache2-default into var/www and be fine? [02:04] I'm trying to have firefox use thunderbird instead of evolution.. I know it's in about:config But I can't remember what I need to change what to what.. Ideas/ [02:04] joshual: then go into synaptic, and see if it will let you remove it from there w/o that [02:04] help help! i am getting a kernel panic, right now i am in a live cd and i can see my / partition and mount it; what i am guessing is that i installed startupmanager and it gave me an error but shutdown, and when i rebooted i got the kernel error, what can i do to either a) reinstall the kernel on the root partition, b) removing startupmanager from the livecd and restoring it how it was, or c) fixing it another way !!

[02:09] shade1: so it is loaded. [02:09] m-c Kernel panic -not syncing :VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) [02:09] is there some setting that kills cron jobs after a certain ammount of time? it seems my cronjobs are not completing === Infinito- is now known as Infinito_ [02:09] FAJALOU: Is that coming from the grub boot? [02:10] macrobad: yes, but supposedly not used, or do I misunderstand the third column? [02:10] daggerx: so, you have your wireless interface down now. [02:10] hi [02:10] FAJALOU: Is the LiveCD working for you okay ? [02:10] m-c no i can get into grub fine, it's when i actually try to load ubuntu, my windows partition [02:10] load [02:10] how do I get the gui to configure my xorg ? :) [02:10] can someone help me with a networking problem? [02:10] m-c yes that is what i am running right now (gotta love ndiswrapper) [02:10] im on the rj45 right now [02:10] FAJALOU: Can you backup /home and re-install Ubuntu? That may be the easiest thing to do. [02:10] guyzmo, gksu displayconfig-gtk ? [02:11] depeneds if you use fglrx,nvidia,or other [02:11] want me to go try it and come back [02:11] hi there i cat't run some java softwares in ubuntu why [02:11] shade1: no, it tells whether it is used by other kernel modules [02:11] fglrx: gksu amdcccle ; nvidia: gksu nvidia-settings [02:11] AMD developing open source ATI drivers [02:11] macrobad: ok [02:11] m-c /home is on a sep. partition, but i just did that like a week ago, for a different reason,,, is there any way around it?? like synaptic etc is working fine on the live cd [02:11] macrobad: so then how do I tell whether it works for the card or not? [02:11] yup radeonhd is decent for r5xx +rs6xx chipsets, altho r6xx need some time [02:12] daggerx: can you just bring it up with 'sudo ifup wlan0' and test by scanning the environment with 'sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning'? [02:12] FAJALOU: Yeah, it can be a nucience reinstalling, but at least it is a last resort [02:12] m-c true, but is there another way to fix it?... [02:12] anyone know how to get reiser to shut up during the boot process? [02:13] Hi i use ubuntu 8.04 on amd64, and I'm having trouble getting a 32bit binary game to work (ETQW) i got lib32asound2 and now the game starts, but i cannot get it to work with pulseaudio, i believe i need a lib32 version of libsdl or something, but this is not in the repo, any ideas? [02:13] shade1: Well, if it is loaded - it means, it works: you cannot tell exactly what are the calls being made without kernel debugging. [02:13] macrobad: hmm [02:13] FAJALOU: a kernel error indicates the /boot is not happy. did you muck around with it? === jonathan_ is now known as johoho [02:14] i used some stupid package called startupmanager, and i got an error message but it closed out so fast i didn't have the chance to read it... [02:14] I reinstall Ubuntu at a drop of a hat - it is so easy [02:14] macrobad: well then, I suppose I'll have to presume that the driver works [02:14] macrobad: what's left? [02:14] shade1: think of it as of a library being loaded into ram: as soon as a function is required, it is called... [02:14] shade1: do you have an onboard nic? [02:14] m-c i know it's easy but it's just easier if i can work around it, [02:14] shade1: now, I'm confused. [02:14] esp, b/c i just recently did it. [02:14] macrobad: what do you mean? [02:14] Is it? How much time will you spend researching this issue? [02:15] Fryguy--: nope [02:15] shade1: do you have any http or telnet servers, or ftp in your lan? [02:15] http://paste.ubuntu.com/25825/ [02:15] hows that [02:15] when i boot, i get all this debugging information from reiserfs. how can i show errors only? [02:15] macrobad: what do you mean? [02:15] shade1: pastebin the results of lspci [02:15] well m-c i was going to come here for help, and if not, then i was just going to go see if someone could send me their /boot partition, and see if that fixes the problem... [02:15] shade1: try telnetting to them with 'telnet ip.ad.dr.ess port' [02:15] FAJALOU: SUM should only tweak the grub menu (well, and associated files), and should be fixable. [02:16] flannel: ok then what is wrong ? ;) [02:16] FAJALOU: Maybe someone here has the answer - I hope I am not stopping anyone from speaking up [02:16] hehe i wonder, how many miles do i have to walk to find a music player with ability to change Pitch/speed/tempo? [02:16] beautifulsnow: audacity should do all of that for you [02:16] flannel: the only thing i really changed in SUM was splash image,,,, [02:16] Fryguy--: I have the relevant line pasted here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25823/ [02:16] beautifulsnow: that's a function of music editing software, not music playback software (typically) [02:17] FAJALOU: Alright, pastebin your menu.lst (this is the menu.lst on the mounted harddrive) [02:17] beautifulsnow: many - kind of an odd request === sean is now known as Guest57860 [02:17] shade1: i didn't ask for a line, i asked for the whole output [02:17] daggerx: it means that everything should work. Specifically, it tells us that a network called "uriah" is found in the area, the signal is pretty good, and it is protected with WPA1/WPA2 [02:17] shade1: but ok [02:17] Audacity is a music editor, not player :/ can't make playlist. Risk overriting my files.. its not odd request, Im a singer.. thats why I was wondering ^^ I use it a lot in Windows, winamp, WMP, Best Practice.......

Is there a way to make the Migration Assistant work via a LAN? Any other suggestions? [02:18] daggerx: kk [02:18] thanks much for the files and stuff [02:18] Fryguy--: well, I could type the rest of it out if you like [02:18] * chalcedony smiles [02:18] be back in a jiff [02:18] daggerx: btw, if it won't work you should try [02:18] ? [02:18] flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25826/ [02:18] daggerx: 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' [02:18] macrobad: I tried, but it failed saying "no route to host" [02:18] gah.... [02:19] ah ok gotcha [02:19] hello everyone [02:19] shade1: ? No seriously, how come it has no *route* to host?? [02:20] hi [02:20] shade1: Is it in the output of ' ip route' ? [02:20] where does the alsa-utils init script save the volume levels? [02:20] shade1: what is the computer connected to via ethernet [02:20] macrobad: I don't know why it has no route, normally ping would say "destination host unreachable". I'll try ip route in a bit [02:21] tovella: good for you - good luck with that - sorry I cannot offer you a suggestion [02:21] FAJALOU: I should be here, yes. [02:21] ok thank you, just IM me if you need to leave, or stumble upon an amazing breakthrough ,and thank you soooo much [02:21] m-c: thanks anyway for replying. [02:21] I have a laptop, Compaq Armada 1700, running Gutsy, 7.10. It has a wireless card, 3COM OfficeConnect wireless, 3CRGPC10075 Recently the box froze as it has done before (maybe a heat problem) I let it cool and took out the battery and unplugged it. I restarted it and it refuses to see the lan. In System > Administration > network, Connections i have 'Wireless connection, roaming mode enabled' with a - [02:21] in the box on the left. Ideas? [02:21] Fryguy--: an 8 port switch. Two other Vista boxes are also connected to said switch, and a line to the linksys wrt54g router/gateway, which is connected to the cable modem, and some other computers [02:22] shade1: nice [02:22] shade1: try changing ports on the switch [02:22] shade1: i'm convinced this is a hardware/cable issue of some sort [02:22] shade1: feel free to disagree with me if you'd like [02:22] Fryguy: He has Ubuntu server connected to the LAN, and we have tried almost everything but couldn't get the connection working properly. Basically, there is a MAC-layer connectivity, and no firewalls whatsoever. I am suspecting routing/switch issue. [02:22] i just had to replace an 8 port switch with an intermittent problem. [02:22] beautifulsnow: mixxx should do that. Although its probably not the most ideal for your task (and I'm sure theres a better fit out there) [02:22] macrobad: i've been watching him all day [02:23] kernel_ghost i built the latest v4l source, what should i do next [02:23] Fryguy--: kk [02:23] Flannel :/ its so complicated. I just want a slider that lets me go -/+ pitch , i dont really want to mix music >.< haha its so though to find something so simple [02:24] but ill probably download that too and try it [02:24] <|Zippo|> somebody having troubles with svn amsn? [02:24] victor__: so u installed it [02:24] yes [02:24] victor__: did u reboot [02:25] i need to reboot first then ill be back [02:25] anyone know how to make my graphics normal again without re-installing , they are slow [02:25] chalcedony: nice? [02:25] is there a link for enabling wifi in gutsy? [02:25] Fryguy--: ok, I'll try the port change [02:26] shade1: sounds like you've been all day on it.. i'll hold back on nice [02:26] Fryguy--: shade1: Do you happen to have any routing daemons running there, e.g gated or routed? [02:26] Fryguy--: sry. was meant for shade1 [02:26] hey folks I installed imagemagick package but i dont see anything new added to the graphics menu [02:27] failsafe works fine , i removed compiz and everything i installed [02:27] joshual_: it's a collection of command line tools [02:27] joshual_: use dpkg -l to see what got installed [02:27] ahh [02:27] even installed flux box, still lsow [02:27] chalcedony, yep, I've been on it all day. fortunately, I'm on break, so I have days to burn futzing with ubuntu ;) [02:27] thx [02:27] shade1: glad for you, it's good stuff to know [02:27] mike3454: can you explain more of your environment?? [02:28] yo ppl. where has automatix gone too? the old website goes somewhere else :-( [02:28] hola [02:28] macrobad: routing daemons? on the switch? no. It's a D-Link 8port nway switch. I don't think it has an ip address with which I could configure it. [02:28] shade1: No, I mean routing daemons on the Ubuntu box. [02:28] Can anyone tell me how to check my logs for remote desktop viever [02:28] Hi!, how can i make the output of "zenity --file-selection" fill a variable for other programs to use? [02:28] is there some site i should look at for wifi on gutsy? [02:29] since everyone seems busy atm [02:29] hehe [02:29] shade1: btw, check a console port on a switch. [02:29] its the newest ubuntu , i tryed to intall compiz then typed compiz --replace then everything buggered up. so i tried to remove it and its slower, but failsafe works [02:29] macrobad: ok then, no. not unless ubuntu server starts some. Or I installed the DNS server metamodule, and that causes problems. [02:29] hi all. when i suspend to ram, the led of the power button starts to breath (as on macs). is there way to control the led of this button directly? [02:29] hey all quick quick question i wanted to try a lighterweight desktop manager for ubuntu. i was thinking like openbox. anyone know if there is a wifi app for that desktop manager? right now network manager handles it in gnome.... [02:30] shade1: I didn't need a DNS server, so I cannot say. [02:30] scales138: openbox is related to gnome, methinks [02:31] like the graphics are crazy slow and glitchy [02:31] does anybody know how to spellcheck with kwrite? [02:31] macrobad: neither did I, but I didn't think it would cause any problems. If it does, then I'll uninstal it, and will have fulfilled my prophecy of the answer being annoyingly simple [02:31] ok Flannel back [02:31] macrobad: there isn't a console port on the switch. [02:31] mike3454: You're having trouble with compiz-fusion, too? I had beryl installed with Feisty, and it worked like a charm. Compiz-fusion is nowhere near as smooth. [02:32] FAJALOU: You get a kernel panic for *both* Ubuntu and windows? [02:32] kwtm #compiz helped me out with a problem with that. [02:32] Flannel: no only ubuntu, and recovery mode. [02:32] FAJALOU: You mean #compiz-fusion? [02:32] shade1: so, it must be an ummanaged one. [02:32] kwtm yea I look for beryl in synaptic, and there is nothing [02:32] mike3454: please put it all in one line so everyone can read it [02:32] I've got what seem like a dumb question but does anyone know the lib package to install for gcc to be able to read logf functions from within code? [02:32] hmmmm kwtm i guess, maybe #compiz redirects there for me or something... [02:33] macrobad: I guess so [02:33] could someone explain this to me in easier words i am kind of confused on the directions [02:33] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/25828/ [02:33] FAJALOU: So windows boots fine. That's good. Because if windows had a kernel panic, there'd be something terribly wrong. What does the panic say exactly? [02:33] zblach: ok, but network manager won't work on it right? [02:33] scales138: this might talk about your problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=645611 [02:33] i've not used ubuntu in a few years :) [02:33] Kernel_ghost in my dmesg output for the tv tuner i found "Error: firmware xc3028-v27.fw not found." [02:33] i'm here out of old habits [02:33] Flannel: Kernel panic -not syncing :VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) [02:33] victor__: thats a good thing really [02:34] victor__: u need the firmware and place it in /lib/firmware [02:34] FAJALOU: Ah, much more helpful. pastebin the output of `sudo blkid` please [02:34] i installed compiz , then typed compiz replace then my graphics skowed down so i removed everything and its still glitchy and slow , then wehn i choose failsafe everything works properly [02:34] kernel_ghost: where do i find the firmware [02:34] shade1: I've just checked with 'tasksel --task-packages dns-server' that it actually install bind and netbase packets only. So, no routing daemons. [02:35] Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25830/ [02:35] hmm trying to watch a .mov file with totem, says it cant find decoder, but i know that libquicktime is installed [02:35] LLMP: alt-f2, `gksu "gedit ~/.mplayer/mplayerplugin-in.conf"`, hit enter. Then paste that middle bit, then save/close and restart firefox [02:35] macrobad: so, no problems from dns metapackage? [02:35] shade1: Nope. [02:36] kernel_ghost so where do i find the firmware? [02:36] shade1: netbase package is installed anyway, and bind is irrelevant, because your problems are on IP level. [02:36] it didnt work [02:36] it says cant fun [02:36] victor__: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25831/ [02:36] FAJALOU: Also, mind pastebing the fstab from your harddrive? (that is, the one on the HD youve mounted) [02:37] chalcedony: sorry, I don't know anything about wifi on gutsy. My entire experience with ubuntu has been spent in the past 24 hours trying to get regular ethernet to work ;) [02:37] i feel totally stupid but i need help to figure out what could be wrong with Compaq Armada 1700, running Gutsy, 7.10. It has a wireless card, 3COM OfficeConnect wireless, 3CRGPC10075.. it was working fine but now it won't see the lan. [02:37] flannel: how can i do that? [02:37] victor__: that will give u the firmware file u want [02:37] chalcedony: thanks [02:37] ooooooooo [02:37] ok [02:37] thx kernel ghost [02:37] cannot find it says [02:37] scales138: yw :) [02:37] shade1: you'll get there :) [02:37] macrobad: ok then, what are our other, rapidly diminishing options? [02:37] shade1: you must be lucky to start from such an experience! :) [02:37] LLMP: cannot find *what* [02:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/25832/ [02:38] flannel ^ [02:38] shade1: Uh, I cannot productively think anymore, it's already 04:38 here. [02:38] macrobad: very lucky, it just happens however that my luck happens to be of the generally bad kind [02:38] macrobad: wow. Sorry to keep you up so late [02:38] command [02:39] NOw im in failsafe and the graphcs are awesome [02:39] http://i31.tinypic.com/ne6ech.jpg does opera use gtk as it's graphics toolkit? [03:03] daggerx: well, it was 4:30 where he is [03:03] Fryguy--: i think not, think its qt [03:03] joshual_: then you don't [03:03] daggerx: what do you need? [03:04] FAJALOU: You can certainly try, although I'm less convinced its a kernel issue now. Have you tried fscking? [03:04] no, one sec. [03:04] hi [03:04] daggerx: I'm afraid I wasn't paying enough attention while you were talking with him earlier. [03:04] in icecast ive changed hostname to my ip, and it still is hosted on http://localhost, i want to be able to access the stream on my laptop, and it isnt working, have i missed out something or edited the wrong file?(/etc/icecast2/icecast.xml) [03:04] i installed kubuntu, switched to ubuntu, how can i uninstall all of kubuntu? [03:04] well, i cant get my wifi to work [03:04] Flannel: bash: fscking: command not found [03:04] he gave me some files and it didnt work [03:05] Fryguy--: you dont? but its possible to make qt apps use or look like the gtk2 theme your using isnt it? [03:05] daggerx: and I can't get my ethernet to work ;) [03:05] Fryguy--, thanks for your help in the past. Its lookin like i'll have to say my farewells soon cause ubuntu isnt liking my hardware or some bug just wont let me use it without crashes. I may drop by when intrepid comes out though ;-) [03:05] i can see my network but i cant connect to it, but i can connect to open networks [03:05] !puregnome | zaapiel [03:05] zaapiel: If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here << http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome >> [03:05] daggerx: hmm. did they return any error messages? [03:05] FAJALOU: fsck is a command. And, the easiest way for you to do it is: sudo touch /path/to/mounted/drive/forcefsck [03:05] Whats the difference between killing a process and stopping it? [03:05] FAJALOU: and then reboot [03:05] the files blocked me from connect to my rj45 [03:06] ventusignis, i think stopping is a safer way to stop the process [03:06] so im glad i saved the backups like he said [03:06] AlphaXero: i don't use ubuntu either, doesn't stop me from hanging out in here [03:06] ty Pici [03:06] Flannel: what is it supposed to do? and which path, because remember i am in livecd :\ ? [03:06] daggerx: it sounds like you have a problem with the encryption, passcodes, or network name [03:06] I am having trouble with connecting my computer to my wireless network. I am running Ubuntu 8.04 [03:06] Fryguy--, what you using then? lol [03:06] AlphaXero: windows [03:06] FAJALOU: Where is your harddrive (the root partition) mmounted? [03:06] oh [03:06] FAJALOU: that'd be sda2 [03:06] daggerx: that's odd. Yep it's a good thing you made backups [03:06] what version are you using? [03:06] I use windows occasionally but mostly mac [03:07] windows for work (i hate xp64) [03:07] AlphaXero: i got a mac at work that i use (and hate) [03:07] yeah, dunno what to do , its still an ongoing challenge [03:07] looks like ubuntu 64 is just as buggy as windows [03:07] can someone help me please [03:07] I am having trouble with connecting my computer to my wireless network. I am running Ubuntu 8.04 [03:07] daggerx: so, what process do you go through to connect, and when does it break? [03:07] Jimshoe_: more info? [03:07] cant help if we dont know whats needed [03:08] hey folks... I'm running into a problem where I can't get apache to work... [03:08] nm [03:08] so Flannel sudo touch /dev/sda2 forcefsck ?

[03:08] Jimshoe_: have you configured ubuntu? or configuring it the problem? [03:08] it cycles and cycles and doesn't connect [03:09] lxusr1, can i pm? [03:09] then it connects to the eth0 [03:09] *is configuring it the problem? [03:09] so Flannel sudo touch /dev/sda2 forcefsck ? [03:09] daggerx: what kind of router are you using? [03:09] Hello [03:09] well, I'm new to ubuntu, but i have gone to the network settings page and changed the properties of the wireless network [03:09] AlphaXero: before i upgraded video drivers... r u using an ati card?' [03:10] I've attempted to remove apache and start over... several times... to no avail. :-( I'm at a loss on what to do next [03:10] what else do I need to configure? [03:10] should be it [03:10] wrt54g linksys router version 3 with tomato firmware 1.19 [03:10] * Dream likes linksys cos they're normaly unsecure ^^ [03:11] FAJALOU: No. Where is /dev/sda2 mounted [03:11] hey, i'm having some trouble with Brasero, when i try to burn an audio cd on a cd -r it always tells me that the cd cannot hold what i'm trying to burn even though i'm using only a little more than half the capacity of the cd, any thoughts on this? [03:11] daggerx: hmm, I don't know about the firmware, but that is the same model number that I have [03:11] lol thats too funny [03:11] Dream: what do you mean "insecure" [03:11] that firmware is awesome [03:11] linux powered too [03:12] daggerx: I still have the v1.02.2 firmware on mine [03:12] Im sure i probably configured it wrong [03:12] Jimshoe_: can I pm? [03:12] pm? [03:12] oh yes [03:12] daggerx: sounds interesting. Could it be causing your problems? [03:12] thats fine [03:12] i doubt it [03:13] windows didnt have that problem [03:13] Krumar: Sometimes, the drive will not accept the media identification. Always check the dmesg [03:13] and i have machines that are wpa and wpa2 connecting to it flawlessly [03:13] daggerx: tomato looks pretty cool [03:13] m-c, would it be at the bottom of dmesg output? [03:14] yep [03:14] daggerx: are they both windows? [03:14] m-c, this is the output i get "[255154.002413] cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!" [03:15] m-c, this is a brand new spindal of cds [03:16] I know -- I had to toss out a 100 spindle of dvds becuase my writer did not accept the media ID [03:16] a t30 and t20 - windows machines [03:16] this one - dell 1525 is the one running ubuntu [03:17] anybody knows hot to block torrent ? [03:17] piju: what do you mean "block"? [03:18] shade1, block all torrent client from downloading [03:18] piju: just don't run a torrent client then? [03:18] Fryguy--, no. not from me. its for client [03:18] client that connects to the ubuntu [03:18] piju: there's no reliable way to do what you want [03:19] Fryguy--, why ? [03:19] m-c, i hope not, it wouldn't burn a few others i had, just got a new spindle of them, it's burning cd -rw fine, and dvd's [03:19] Hello [03:19] Hi. The latest intrepid update looks to have hosed X. Is there a fix? [03:19] piju: because most modern torrent clients encrypt their traffic and so you'd have to go as far as an SPI firewall to even get close to determining what is torrent traffic and what isn't. Nevertheless, it's far outside the scope of this channel, check out #networking [03:20] cjb: #ubuntu+1 for intrepid [03:20] Oh, thanks. [03:20] Please advice a console mp3 player [03:20] piju: well, you could block the standard torrent ports, but the client could just change which port they use. [03:20] temoto-mobi: mpg123 [03:20] Fryguy--, thanks. [03:20] temoto-mobi: or a cli client for mpd, like nmpc [03:20] temoto-mobi: if you are running mpd [03:20] Fryguy--, thanks for explaination [03:20] how can i install 'libgstreamer0.8-0' and 'libgstreamer-plugins0.8-0'? i'm using ubuntu hardy and it's not available in repository. [03:21] Fryguy--, no, thanks, i guess mpg123 is more than enough for daily alarmer. [03:21] goody: try getdeb.net, or compile from source [03:21] Packages may have different names in different distributions [03:22] gooody: The versions in the repository are newer than .8 [03:23] Fryguy--: it's available in ubuntu 7.04 [03:23] gooody: you just said it's not in the repository. i'm confused [03:23] gooody: What version of Ubuntu are you running? [03:23] Pici: i'm running 8.04 [03:23] kubuntu :) [03:23] piju: this page seems helpful for blocking bittorrent: http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=42623 Apparently you should just throttle bittorrent down to really low speeds, so that they don't realize they need to change ports. [03:23] gooody: so if you want a specific version of gstreamer for some reason, i'll repeat whta I said already [03:23] goody: try getdeb.net, or compile from source [03:24] gooody: libgstreamer0.10-0 is newer than libgstreamer0.8-0 [03:24] Fryguy--: thanks for the info. [03:24] saludos! [03:24] Hmmm [03:24] I have a question [03:25] Pici: i have an application that runs only for libgstreamer0.8-0 [03:25] How did you go about deciding your online identity? [03:25] Wof [03:25] Why did you choose your nickname? [03:25] alguien habla español aqui?

[03:25] |es | P|P0 [03:25] join #ubuntu-es [03:26] Fryguy--: so, do you have any ideas what could make my ethernet card receive packets, but unable to send them? [03:26] i would like a bit of help/words of wisdom please [03:26] why does ubuntu use 127.0.1.1 for localhost and not 127.0.0.1 like the rest of the world? [03:26] shade1: no, what happened when you changed ports on the switch [03:26] AndrewGearhart: pretty sure it does use 127.0.0.1 [03:26] Fryguy--: nothing, ping still returns "destination host unreachable" [03:27] [o3] [03:27] shade1, seems like iptables need an extra modules . is it ? [03:27] soobs: what is your prob? [03:27] m-c, i just tried the same disc again, but this time burned an iso to the disc using the command in nautilus "write to disc", it went just fine. [03:27] Fryguy--: earlier I tried capturing ping packets with tcpdump; I captured passing traffic from my other computers, but no ping packets from the ubuntu box [03:28] well, its pretty long: basically i'm trying to use a strange CRT HDTV as a monitor to watch films on with ubuntu, but i cant seem to change the resolution of that display to one it will accept [03:29] Fryguy--: in my hosts file... (which I've never changed manually) is an entry for 127.0.0.1 for localhost... when I try to visit http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1 ... things don't work properly (the system prompts me to download a file "~" ... while when I visit http://127.0.1.1 or http://andrew (my hostname which is mapped in my hosts file to 127.0.1.1) ... it serves the html file correctly [03:29] piju: well, again, it only works for either unencrypted traffic, or traffic on standard ports. If you only throttle their connection, and don't block the ports completely, however, they might not notice, and thus change their ports. Bittorrent doesn't always get very good speeds ;) [03:29] before i used powerstrip really easily with winxp [03:29] amdcccle isn't as powerful [03:29] AndrewGearhart: probably related to your apache settings somehow [03:30] ok peeps. cya. tomorrow i'll be on suse ;-) [03:30] btw: using an ati radeon 9800 card if that helps, using clone mode to have a standard monitor in 1280x1024 and the tv in 1680x1050 i think [03:31] shade1, its hard to totally block torrent connection [03:32] piju, if you want to blovk remote clients from connecting to your client, then just edit the source code of your torrent client to disconnect any remote connection from another client to retreive data' [03:32] piju: yep, but you could run a QoS program that lets http, https, and other services that you know your client should be able to use have decent bandwidth, and either block, or throttle all of the other ports down to really low speeds [03:32] hello! I am planning to reinstall everything on my computer. should I install ubuntu first and then WinXP? [03:33] no [03:33] piju: how many users do you have that are trying to run bittorrent? [03:33] srid`, XP then ubuntu [03:33] srid`: Other way around is easier [03:33] ah ok [03:33] xp first then ubuntu b/c MBR makes it impossible to get to ubuntu w/o having to use a Super Grub Disk [03:33] I do have vista installed right, but it is not willing to resize the only partition on my hard disk. resizing in Ubuntu installer hangs forever. [03:33] Question 1: When one issues a "./configure" command, why is the "./" there? [03:33] *vista installed right now [03:34] shade1, how about blocking torrents annoucing url ? [03:34] OzoneNerd: because your pwd isn't part of your path by default, so you need to give a path for linux to find the file [03:34] shade1, only one [03:34] srid`: try burning a disk called gparted and using that to partition [03:34] shade1, only one client [03:34] enzotibcocloca53 [03:34] !gparted | srid` [03:34] srid`: gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [03:34] piju: how savvy is this user? ;) [03:35] Hello, I have a notebook gateway, with the wireless network on the integrathed USB (lsusb finds that) and the wireless was working on Ubunto 7.0. Since 7.04 it is not working properly anymore. sometimes "iwlist scan" finds the network although when it tries to connetc, it stops.... there seems to be no connection between ifconfig (wlan0) and iwconfig [03:35] shade1, i want to block it [03:35] coz i hate him [03:35] LOL [03:35] lol [03:35] have anyone suffered with that too? [03:35] Hey [03:35] well, I don't know about blocking it, but you could at least make it severely frustrating. [03:35] FAJALOU: I have sysresccd.org. but in the past, when I tried to resize Vista partition without using the Vista disk manager, I end up screwing vista (it never boots again). [03:35] Gustavo: have you tried using ndiswrappe? [03:35] so I am wary of resizing using other tools. [03:36] the modprobe already says that it is installed [03:36] I'm bulding a new computer, can someone recommend a good mobo that works well with nix? [03:36] well ya b/c vista is evil srid` :) no defragment vista partition first,,, that might help [03:36] Kanja: pretty much anything [03:36] I did that. anyways, this gives me an opportunity to 'upgrade' to XP. ;) [03:36] srid`: totally :) [03:37] besides with ubuntu's compiz etc, you won't want vista anyhoo :D [03:37] piju: If you try blocking the 6881-3889 ports, bittorrent switches to using http, and I don't know if you want to throttle his web usage ;) However, throttling down those ports to 10kB or 20Kb/s would be pretty annoying [03:37] FAJALOU: maybe, maybe not [03:37] FAJALOU: yea, XP is primarily for playing games (I am a fan of AoE3). [03:37] vista doesnt crash as much as Xorg though lol [03:37] fryguy--: anything? gigabyte, intel, asus all should be good? [03:37] Fryguy--: we hope for it ;) [03:37] shade1: very few people still use those ports for torrents, most clients nowadays default to automatically picking a random port [03:38] Kanja: sure [03:38] fajalou: the modprobe says that the drive is talready installed: rtl8187 [03:38] srid`: have you looked at ubuntu's wine package, it helps with playing games in ubuntu [03:38] piju: as long as you don't completely block those ports, it shouldn't occur to him that he could fix it by just changing ports [03:38] FAJALOU: "we". I use windows [03:38] If you have more than one directory in your $PATH, and two directories have identical executable files, how does the system choose which to execute? [03:38] OzoneNerd: first one in the list [03:38] Fryguy--:, piju: well, in that case, just throttle everything ;) piju said he hated the client anyway, but I don't know how far he's willing to go [03:39] gustavo: install ndisgtk. [03:39] FAJALOU: wine is just a wrapper API (some apps work, some apps won't). I'd rather run the games on XP. later then..gotta reboot the machine. [03:39] it makes seeing ndiswrapper much easier. [03:39] thx Fry. What about my previous question, why does one occasionally need to prefix "./" to commands? [03:39] can sum1 help me with a compiling problem [03:39] OzoneNerd: like i told you, because you are trying to run something that is not in your path, you need to specify an explicit path of some sort [03:40] Hans Reiser has been charged for the murder of his wife and will be imprisoned for 15 years. This is very unfortunate - not that his wife is dead, but now perhaps he wont be able to develop Reiser4, the kickass file system. :( Is it possible for him to work on Reiser4 inside jail? [03:40] 22:35:58 Fryguy--| OzoneNerd: because your pwd isn't part of your path by default, so you need to give a path for linux to find the file [03:40] smallfoot-: #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks [03:40] smallfoot-: another group of developers have already started working on it [03:40] Fryguy--, oh great! [03:41] is there a channel for printers [03:41] Fryguy--, do you think its possible for him to get a laptop and work inside jail? or wouldn't they let him? [03:41] smallfoot-: no idea [03:41] can sum1 help me with my compiling problem here --->http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5340427#post5340427 [03:41] !offtopic | smallfoot- [03:41] smallfoot-: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [03:41] FAJALOU: and then? the configuration seems to be gray [03:42] srry, I missed your response fryguy, how about when one prefixes a "~"?

[04:15] Andre_Gondim: you might have to manually add them [04:15] aleka: [04:15] keyboard layout configuration [04:15] yes [04:16] aleka: you don't need to chroot to do that though [04:16] aleka: but ok [04:16] cd /var/log [04:16] qwerty is really a pain for me, as I have to type with one hand [04:16] I prefer one handed dvorak [04:16] that is configured in xorg.conf [04:16] but does not work at startup screen [04:16] guyzmo: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+dvorak&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a [04:16] Sorry for the delays in answering.

[04:17] Request port forwarding and/or ndisgtk help, please? [04:17] Fryguy--: lol, I'm not sure I could compile your kernel. Why do you hang around here all day anyway? I don't really like hanging around, and I'm the one with the problems ;) [04:17] btw that used to work in 7.x and is not working anymore in 8.x [04:18] shade1: bored and lazy [04:18] Fryguy--: ok [04:18] just need to compile in a new module :/ [04:18] Fryguy--: well, unfortunately, even though my problem is yet to be resolved, I'm going to have to leave soon [04:18] when I do 127.0.0.1:3306 am I supposed to see my files? I see my files [04:19] Fryguy--: you sure you don't have any more ideas? [04:19] AHA: no [04:19] shade1: no [04:19] wow terrible nickcomplete :( [04:19] Thank to you guys that have sent me links. I've read them. But what I want to know is do the messages tar is giving me (http://pastebin.org/49536) show that everything is getting backed up, or are some things not being backed up? [04:19] Fryguy--: lol [04:19] hmm... what was the command to manually run check disk? [04:19] Fryguy-- - well, thanks for trying to help [04:19] olskolirc: that is the mysql port... [04:19] but I've already gone through them [04:19] and I'm stilllooking [04:19] Fryguy--: thanks for trying though. Do you have any ideas on where else I could *look* for ideas? [04:19] shade1: no [04:20] but if I'm asking here, it's because I'm in a dead end [04:20] sigh [04:20] is it right Fryguy-- ? [04:20] olskolirc: is what right [04:20] I know 3306 is the sql port [04:20] did i set it up right? [04:20] If I have an environmental variable say named FIFO_HOME set to /home/mike/simpl and i type cd FIFO_HOME why doesn't it go to that directory? it says its not there when infact it is [04:20] olskolirc: i dunno, all you said is "i can see my stuff at 3306" [04:20] olskolirc: so probably [04:20] how do I access my apache2 server or lock it up from the public [04:20] can i get help with compiz fusion? [04:20] Fryguy--: good night [04:21] Nalid: because the variable becomes $FIFO_HOME [04:21] olskolirc: http is on port 80 [04:21] hi [04:21] I know Fryguy-- [04:21] typing cd $FIFO_HOME doesn't work either.. :< [04:21] olskolirc: change your apach configuration to listen on a non-public or non-default interface [04:21] I want to set up an apache server and learn mysql [04:21] help please? [04:21] got it.. fschk [04:21] Nalid: echo $FIFO_HOME [04:22] ok Fryguy-- and where is my apache configs [04:22] olskolirc: /etc/apache or /etc/apache2 [04:22] my OS ubuntu 8.04, how I can enabled visual effect [04:22] fuln: system | preferences | appearance [04:22] everything that uses the file shortcuts crashes when I try to use it. How do I fix that? [04:22] fuln, if you have a question, go right ahead and ask. You don't need our permission :D [04:22] ok i found it and which conf file do I want to configure [04:22] Fryguy--, [04:22] got it.. had it set wrong i guess.. just getting frustrated. thansk fryguy-- [04:23] olskolirc: probably httpd.conf [04:23] ok [04:23] fuln: You will probably need to install restricted drivers for your video card and then probably change your display preferences. [04:23] ehm [04:23] httpd.conf is empty Fryguy-- [04:24] olskolirc: well use ls on the directory and take a look at the files [04:24] olskolirc: should be pretty obvious what you need to be editing [04:24] olskolirc: please ask apache specific questions in #apache [04:24] here is a question [04:24] Desktop effects could not be enabled << why..?? [04:24] install your graphics card drivers first [04:24] fuln: you need to use a driver that supports 3d acceleration and compositing === Infinito- is now known as Infinito [04:25] please help. my system is becoming practically useless. [04:25] !ask | eitreach [04:25] eitreach: 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. :-) [04:25] is there a way for me to fax a document i would like to print to my fax machine with no modem only broadband [04:25] my graphics card ATI M200, whre i can download this driver [04:25] huh? the driver needs to know 3D acc and compositing? o.o what in fact is compositing if it is listed special for itself? === Infinito is now known as Infinito- [04:25] !ati | fuln [04:25] fuln: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [04:25] When I try to install vmware server, when I type the post-config commands, it doesn't do anything, just gives me the default prompt again. Then when I try to run vmware it tells me that it's installed but not correctly configured and suggested redoing it by invoking the following command: /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl. and after I go through configuring that it tells me the configuration was successful, but it still doesn't work. Any idea [04:26] spanther: compositing is the concept of rendering the gui into a buffer so that another device can do something with it [04:26] spanther: usually a graphics card, but not always [04:26] spanther: see xpra, which uses compositing to transfer the desktop over a network to another machine [04:26] olskolirc: httpd.conf will be empty. debian uses apache2.conf, and things in /sites-enabled and mods-enabled [04:26] everything that uses the file menu and shortcuts crashes when I try opening it in root. what do I do to fix it? [04:27] spanther: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositing_window_manager [04:27] thank you Fryguy-- ,_, [04:28] thanks [04:28] eitreach: Are you using the root account graphically?? You should NEVER do that. [04:28] im having a problem with screen resolutions wondering if anyone can help [04:28] !anyone | Jazzmaster42 [04:28] Jazzmaster42: 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? [04:28] for u explanation [04:29] moderatelybc: try #vmware [04:29] Ok, thanks. [04:29] fuln: I warn you though, you might not get the best performance out of an ATI 200M Xpress. It's a pretty low-end chipset, after all. [04:29] bobertdos: No, I use my regular account, but as every other user, I need to access my root system. Whenever I do this with a program that uses the file shortcuts in the open diralog, it crashes. gedit, fileroller, everything that uses it. [04:29] i tried to connect an external lcd to my laptop, it didnt work well and i gave up, but i cant seem to get my laptop resolution back straight. using 8.04 [04:29] fryguy-- k, i screwed something up bad with my env variables. when i do SIMPL_PATH=/home/mike/fifo and then export it and then echo it, it says its right.. but when i restart the terminal it goes back to pointing in the wrong place. ideas? [04:29] Nalid: environment variables only exist for a single session [04:30] whats a good IRC client for ubuntu? I'm using XChat and not liking it.. also something other than konversation.. would rather not install something that will install KDE components [04:30] Nalid: add it to your .bashrc (assuming you are using bash) for it to get repopulated [04:30] ok [04:30] djhash: i like irssi [04:30] djhash: search through Synaptic. Plenty of clients. [04:30] djhash: irssi rocks, if you don't mind it in a terminal [04:30] anyone have a howto on getting horizontal scrolling enabled on a mighty mouse? [04:31] Jazzmaster42, you might be able to use xrandr; something like xrandr --output VGA --off [04:31] eitreach: You mean every graphical program you access as root crashes? [04:31] squeeze button already works, but for some reason horizontal scrolling is disabled. [04:31] hmm i dont think its trying to output at all [04:31] im just having problems with the little menu applets working right [04:31] bobertdos: an example.. I can open gedit, and then try to open or save a file - when I do that, it crashes. With fileroller, I can open an archive, but when I want to extract it, it crashes. [04:32] it thinks its at 1680x1050 but its clearly not (i have to scroll around) [04:32] eitreach: I see. This is Hardy Heron, right? [04:32] bobertdos: yes, fully updated. [04:32] ow.. i now === _wolfy_ is now known as JasonCO_ === hockeysub22 is now known as chateauqc [04:33] eitreach: When you access these programs as root, what command are you using? [04:33] bobertdos: sudo, gksudo. [04:33] hi folks - for some reason -- when i access smb shares in nautilus under gnome - -it works fine -- when i try to do it under fluxbox -- it does not -- running hardy -- any ideas? [04:34] JasonCO_, what file manager you using under fluxbox? nautilus? [04:34] geezus christ those apache guys are in a comma [04:34] Dr_willis, yes [04:34] can someone help me set up and secure my apache2 server to be private [04:34] im sorry -- didnt mention that [04:34] JasonCO_, weird.. i wonder if some gnome service isent getting ran. [04:35] ya -- thats kinda what i was suspecting -- i just dont know which one [04:35] ffs why don't folks say they don't know instead of having me read man grep [04:35] give me a f*n break [04:35] eitreach: gksudo is generlly better for graphical programs. It sounds to me like something might be wrong with one or more of your services or that your hard drive partition is bad. It would seem your main problem is writing to disk in general. === te_ is now known as defn === IceGuest_7 is now known as IceGuest_7_ === IceGuest_7_ is now known as Jimshoe01 [04:36] Dr_willis, i dotn know what gnome services are well enough to be able to track it down either -- but i suspect ur right [04:36] so what's the difference between sudo and gksudo besides the GUI password entry? [04:36] bobertdos: thiere's nothing wrong with my harddrive. Everything works fine as long as I don't use the programs with root. [04:37] how can i make ubuntu do updates at a certain time like 3am [04:37] JasonCO_, i r3call that openbox added a 'gnome/openbox' menu item to the sessions.. i wonder what its launching in addation to openbox. [04:37] When I boot up, Ubuntu doesn't automatically add one of my hard drives. I have to go to Places > 203.9 GB Media for it to appear on the desktop. I store things such as music on it and if I open up Rhythmbox without first opening it up from Places, the music tracks start deleting since they can't find it. But Ubuntu knows it's there because it's in Places, but it's not "loaded" er, I don't know the correct term. Any ideas? [04:37] bobertdos: seems to me the problem lies with the open/save dialogs, since things crash when they open. I don't get a chance to either open or save. [04:38] humm - i dont know -- any suggestions where i should be digging? -- im asking in #fluxbox at the same time -- no answers at all there [04:38] I'm having trouble upgrading to gutsy from feisty, can someone help? [04:39] Sorry I can't, bcause me >> newbier ubuntu :D [04:39] how can i make ubuntu do updates at a certain time like 3am [04:39] why do i have to scroll around the screen even though everything is telling me im running at native res for my display [04:39] my [04:39] eitreach: True enough, which is why I would imagine something is corrupt with dbus or some other service that gets invoked under root. You do get prompted for your password, right? [04:40] bobertdos: yes, when I start the programs. [04:40] Is anyone have trouble with Compiz under Hardy? [04:40] does anyone know how to enable autoloading in apache2 on linux? [04:40] randall: http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net/techblog/article/schedule_automatic_updates_on_ubuntu/ [04:40] I get an error message whenever I try the aptitude upgrade, something along the lines of "failed to fetch package http://security.ubuntu.com/yadayada.../Packages.bz2 bzip2 error" [04:40] no problem with compiz === spanthe1 is now known as spanther [04:41] DarkAudit! thanks [04:41] JasonCO_ ya could install openbox, and see if the openbox-gnome session has same problem.. if not.. track down what its running (some script i imagine) and make your own variant that runs what you want to run. [04:41] randall: np :) [04:41] anyone? [04:42] bobertdos: I'm not getting much from the terminal either. Just Segfault. [04:42] wow -- ok -- i'll set that up on a testbed machine -- rather not try it on a production box -- my skills arent that good [04:42] :D [04:42] Segfaults, huh? [04:43] eitreach: Segfaults..........that's very peculiar [04:43] I am trying to install ubuntu into one laptop here, where I have RHEL5+WinXP+Win2K3 installed. It currently boots from RHEL5 for all OS. In ubuntu, I am seeing the following partition: /dev/sda1 (ntfs), /dev/sda5 (ntfs), /dev/sda6 (ext3), /dev/sda7 (unknown) (this one is RHEL5). I want to use ubuntu to replace RHEL5 here. Is it possible? [04:43] bobertdos: that's all I see. Shortest error message I ever did see. [04:43] hi [04:44] <__yy> hyde: just reformat the RHEL partition and install [04:44] eitreach: That's interesting. How much RAM does your system have? [04:44] bobertdos: 3gb. [04:44] * DarkAudit is bumpin to: Gentle Giant - Prologue on "Three Friends" [5:34/6:14] (128kbps) 44.1kHz) [5.73MiB mp3] [04:44] bobertdos: never experienced it before today. [04:45] hey [04:45] eitreach: In that case, I'll ask, what all has happened to your system today? Any significant changes, updates, or stuff like that? [04:45] <^tiNee^> can someone help me install the driver for my webcam its a logitech quickcam connect and yes i have read the forum and it didnt work for me [04:45] Hey guys is it possible to create a WIndows Recovery Disk? [04:46] bobertdos: nope.. I'm rather stumped. [04:46] !etiquette | djhash [04:46] djhash, please see my private message [04:47] eitreach: I guess I am too........ [04:47] I'm having problems with my newest install of Ubuntu 8.04. For one thing, I have compiz cube enabled and other settings, and emerald. The minimize, maximize, and close buttons on all windows have disappeared. The Alt-Tab function, and alternatively the Win-Tab function, seems to be completely disabled or not functioning. All windows are automatically opened on all workspaces instead of just one, and I can't seem to correct that (the only [04:47] exception being the embedded terminal I tried to make that only pops up on one workspace and I can't get it to exist on each one. And, finally, my panel always shows up in the middle of the desktop every time I restart, and I have to open the properties and select expand in order for it to move back to the top where it's supposed to be. [04:47] OMG I JUST FIXED MY SOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!! [04:47] and all on my own === Tricky is now known as blampars [04:48] congrats AMLNXUSR [04:48] tyty [04:48] eitreach: What if you tried it by switching to "root" mode via sudo -i? [04:48] I need help, dear god please. [04:48] <^tiNee^> can anyone help me out? [04:48] ask away [04:48] <^tiNee^> im having trouble install my webcam [04:48] i am here my child [04:49] Hey.. I'm changing settings on konversation.. and am trying the OSD.. can someone just count to three and either send me a pm.. or write a message with nick in it.. (please be nice..) :-P [04:49] state your problem [04:49] bobertdos: this is what I have found to be the closest thing.. - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/207598 [04:49] Launchpad bug 207598 in gedit "GTK2 Open File Dialog causes crash" [Medium,Invalid] [04:49] <^tiNee^> the driver wont build [04:49] Anyone here know how to fix compiz. Right now when I open the settings manager it closes immediately in the processes list, and never shows up on the desktop. I have no window borders, I can't close windows and right now this is a clusterfuck on my desktop. [04:49] I also need help; I have a couple specific questions about installing linux on a factory-partitioned hard drive [04:49] I didn't have problems on my desktop, only now on the new laptop. [04:50] what kind of webcam tinee? [04:50] <^tiNee^> i tried m-a autoinstall gspca but it failed to build [04:50] <^tiNee^> logitech quickcam connect [04:50] koolranch, i normally resize the windows parittion, and leave the 'recovery' partition alone. On my Compaq/hps at least. :) [04:50] did you try restarting x with ctrl-alt-enter [04:50] <^tiNee^> 046d:089d [04:50] hal : Upgrade or new install? [04:51] Dr_willis, why do you resize the windows partition, and how do you do that? [04:51] New install. [04:51] anyone ever tried playing warcraft 3 on wine? ever get the "Memory could not be 'written'" error? [04:51] koolranch, err.. so i can have a partition to install linux to. :) [04:51] koolranch, gparted, or vista has a very speedy ntfs resize feature now a days also. [04:51] Sorry, I'm an absolute linux newb Dr_willis [04:51] hal: I had same problem on upgrade [04:51] why can't I put Ubuntu on my unused partition? [04:51] Fezzler: what fixed it? [04:52] koolranch, the ubuntu livecd installer has a guided resize as part of the installer [04:52] hal [04:52] file:///usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.24/Documentation/mca.txt: "A machine with a MCA bus will have the kernel variable MCA_bus set, assuming the BIOS feature bits are set properly (see arch/i386/boot/setup.S for information on how this detection is done)." What is a 'kernel variable'? [04:52] ? [04:52] <__yy> koolranch: I don't know, why can't you? [04:52] koolranch, if you have a unused/unallocated section of the hard drive you can.. but thats not the same as 'free space on c:' [04:52] Do you *really* want to be running Ubuntu on anything with an MCA bus these days? [04:52] I have an nVidia Ti4600 card and have tried installing drivers through the Restricted Drivers wizard. Then I tried the envyng tool. Then the nVidia driver from their site. All with the same result. It just reboots to a black screen. I am not sure what log to check to see why it crashed. [04:53] I'm on a rounter. do I edit my apache2.conf with my ip 192.168.x.x or the other one 67.x.x.x? [04:53] hal: still working on it. Visual Effects Extras shuts off if I select Cube settings. Also, Pengiun game my kids love locks up the screen [04:53] Dr_willis, I have a 120gb hard drive, with 80gb on the c: drive and 40 gb on the d: drive [04:53] hal: I think it is a nvidia issue. [04:53] does that change what I need to do to install ubuntu? [04:53] Windows is currently on the c: drive [04:53] eitreach: With 3gigs, this seems kind of silly, but I wonder how much RAM is free right now...... [04:53] hello! [04:53] I have nvidia with my desktop and i never had a problem. [04:53] I'm rockin' a 7600GS [04:53] how do i access the shared folder of a virtual box guest system? [04:53] and no problems [04:53] koolranch, to install to the hard drive. you need another partition, (or a section of unallocated space to make into a partition) for linux to use. [04:54] the jockey ui works well for me [04:54] wtf [04:54] how the hell do i run phpmyadmin [04:54] koolranch, the ubuntu installer will let you resize c: and add a new partition in the space it creates, that is where you install ubuntu [04:54] this so isn't working :( [04:54] *must resist going back to windows* [04:54] lol [04:54] call me :-) [04:54] koolranch, like iplaythisgame says.. the installer can do it for you. :) [04:54] karan: do you have the LAMPP stack running?

[04:55] hmm. The LAMPP stack is the easiest way to do it, as that'll throw phpmyadmin in there for you [04:55] can anyone help me? [04:55] koolranch, what do youw ant to do with it? does it have stuff on it? linux does not use C: D: type naming.. [04:55] but then sometimes you have to play around a bit with the MySQL settings [04:55] i partitioned my drive with gprted and now i get a dir in ''new'' partition that says lost+found to which i have no acces how can i change this ? [04:55] Ping: where can i find those settings [04:55] Dr_willis, the d: drive is empty [04:55] it varies [04:55] eitreach: As a programmer, I'm always wary of those :p [04:56] but someone around /opt/mysql [04:56] or somesuch [04:56] does that make it suitable for installing ubuntu? [04:56] bobertdos: I tried deleting all gtk-settings root had made as well.. perhaps things will improve when I restart X.. or restart my system. [04:56] jamus, lost+found is for 'recovered' files when the drive gets fscked.. leave it alone. [04:56] I can't remember off the top of my head [04:56] Ok i got one for you guys.. I just fixed my sound but now when i try to play music or videos on youtube its got no sound .. any suggestions? [04:56] or do I still need to partition the c: drive? === eric is now known as Guest30971 [04:56] koolranch, you can easially delete D: and let linux isntall to the empty space that was D: [04:56] Anyone here know how to fix compiz. Right now when I open the settings manager it closes immediately in the processes list, and never shows up on the desktop. I have no window borders, I can't close windows and right now this is a clusterfuck on my desktop. [04:56] eitreach: That's what I would hope too. [04:56] koolranch, the d: drive is ussually a backup/restore partition for your windows. if you dont have another method for installing windows again i wouldnt bother it. [04:56] oki [04:56] hi... How can I install a cdrom/r device? using linux mint daryna on hp nx6110 laptop. thanks [04:56] koolranch, IF you want to remove D: that is.. [04:57] bobertdos: thank you for your time in any case. nice to see someone put in an effort. [04:57] hal: [04:57] Ping: nope, not there [04:57] quick solution [04:57] iplaythisgame, Dr_willis: so I should just forget about the d: drive and partition my c: drive? [04:57] Hello. My up-to-date Ubuntu 8.04's shows a 100% CPU usage, but no process appears to be using it. Apps (eg. FF or gThumb, even konsole) It only starts a few minutes after bootup and gets worse with uptime, reaching unusability within 10 or so minutes. The shell (at Ctrl+Alt+F1) keeps belching this error: http://pastebin.com/m7ac8eacb Can anyone make sense of it? [04:57] Alt-F2 for the "Run command" window [04:57] then do either KWin --replace or metacity --replace [04:57] eitreach: No problem. SegFaults indicate memory allocation errors, btw, that's why I was wondering about RAM. [04:57] his D: drive is 40 gigs, i've never saw a recovery partition that big. [04:57] KWin if you're in KDE or metacity if you're in GNOME [04:57] !enter | not [04:57] not: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [04:58] koolranch, you said D: was empty.. if you want to use the space that D: is currently using. and remove D: you can do so.. or resize C: and leave D: alone. [04:58] For the nvidia card users will notice that the Web nvidia has a bug in ubuntu drivers to download the system connects with nvidia to know that we targeta. Because the bug is always the result that we have a 200 series card, so they download the driver badly. [04:58] This bug has already been reported, still was not settled [04:58] ok [04:58] Possibly related to experimentations with crypttab, although I think I removed all traces of that and the problem persists. Also, it seems not to have yet occured before I launched Azureus. But that might be a coincidence. [04:58] jenda: looks like your hard drive might be failing [04:58] <_Brun0_> hello. i've just installed mozilla thunderbird on ubuntu hardy. i tried 2 times to setup a gmail account (once manually and once automatically with the gmail option) but in both cases it says i have no e-mails to receive. my accoun't has e-mails! can anyone help me? [04:58] Fryguy--: that's what I was afraid of. [04:58] Fryguy--: what can I do? [04:58] _Brun0_: are you using imap [04:58] Hmm. [04:58] @Karan: I'm not sure where it's at, I'm sorry. [04:58] jenda: replace the hard drive maybe [04:58] <_Brun0_> Fryguy--: nope [04:58] np [04:59] <_Brun0_> Fryguy--: nope. no imap.. pop3 [04:59] _Brun0_: do you have pop3 support enabled in gmail [04:59] Fryguy--: oi. And is there a way to verify if it is really failing, and/or how bad the problem is? [04:59] Ping: do you know of any beginners guides i can read to give me a primer on linux? [04:59] iplaythisgame, Dr_willis: I'm not sure my d: drive was intended to be a recovery drive [04:59] @Karan: I'm gonna have to turn in soon; work in the morning. A quick google search of get you what you want [04:59] i find this system very confusing [04:59] kk [04:59] I chose to include that partition with the intention of installing linux [04:59] thanks [04:59] in addition to windows [04:59] jenda: disk scan utilities exist from hard drive manufactuers, ultimate boot cd, fsck might give you something meaningful [04:59] nighty night ping [04:59] ping: Window manager warning: Log level 8: gtk_paint_arrow: assertion `style->depth == gdk_drawable_get_depth (window)' failed [04:59] over and over [04:59] koolranch, no idea. I always delete the silly wastefull recovery partitions anyway :) [05:00] <_Brun0_> Fryguy--: yes i have but i just realized somehting. there are 2 options: enable pop3 for e-mails from now on and enabled pop3 for all emails.. i think i had it set to e-mails from now on. leme see [05:00] @hal: ooh. Sounds like display drivers gone mad. [05:00] how do I delete a partition, again? [05:00] @hal: I've had that problem before, but I tend to reformat/reinstall -- maybe not an easy option for you [05:00] koolranch: use fdisk or cfdisk or gparted [05:00] mmm.... [05:00] ok [05:00] Use the windows tools to delete it.. or CAREFULLY read/follow the ubuntu installer and tell it to use the partition. [05:00] koolranch, my wifes laptop had a 60gb drive that had c: on a 30gb partition and a 30gb data partition. looks like that could be the case [05:00] no speak in english :/ [05:00] xD [05:00] byes! [05:00] doesn't vista have a pertty good partitioning tool w/ it?.. i've read about it, never used it. [05:00] anyone had problems with I/O error dev sr0? [05:00] @ping: easier than you'd think, this is a fresh install [05:00] Dr_willis, im tracking something down -- it MIGHT be the nautilus-share extension [05:01] IndyGunFreak, it sure does resize vista partitiosn fast [05:01] i cant use the partition at all (tryed to add smtng and it wouldnt let me [05:01] redengin: that's your cd burner/drive [05:01] so I should delete the d: drive and partition the new single drive? [05:01] Dr_willis: never used it personally, but ive heard its good for setting unallocatd space. [05:01] Fryguy--: yes, but ripoff keeps hanging cuz of that I/O error [05:01] @hal: I hate to say it, but that may be the least headache-inducing option. Trust me, you don't want remnants of messed up drivers floating around your config and kernel [05:01] yeah [05:01] I have an nVidia Ti4600 card and have tried installing drivers through the Restricted Drivers wizard. Then I tried the envyng tool. Then the nVidia driver from their site. All with the same result. It just reboots to a black screen. I am not sure what log to check to see why it crashed. [05:02] redengin: maybe a bad disc [05:02] @hal: It makes your life harder than it needs to be. [05:02] what is the command to not show people entering/leaving room? [05:02] @hal: You have an NVidia card, right? [05:02] dpeach: /var/log/Xorg.log or /var/log/Xorg.0.log [05:02] anyone know how to get Savage 2 running after installation? [05:02] <_Brun0_> Fryguy--: ok it worked.. i set it to enable pop3 for all e-mails instead of just emials from now on. thanks for attention. [05:02] thanks Fryguy-- [05:02] koolranch, ya, kind of, boot up the live cd and use gparted to delete the partition YOUR SURE contains the wasted space. then you can install and use the free space you just created. === djhash is now known as djhash_ [05:03] @Ping: yeah === djhash_ is now known as djhash [05:03] oops.. sorry.. [05:03] so once I delete the second partition, I will have an unpartitioned drive? [05:03] @iplaythisgame, @koolranch: I dunno, I would recommend running any partitioning software you might already have in Windows if you're new to Unix; you don't want to get confused by the /hdX/ format when partitioning [05:04] and the ubuntu live cd will partition my drive as needs be? [05:05] Ping, koolranch, the partitions are different sizes, shouldnt be too hard to tell. but if you do it that way definitely boot into the livecd so you get the gui. [05:05] koolranch: usually yes [05:05] :D [05:05] @hal: Then I would recommend the following process: 1.) Fresh Install 2.) Install all available updates 3.) Go to System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers 4.) Click the appropriate checkbox to enable the proprietary NVidia drivers 5.) Press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace (restarts the video subsystem) [05:05] <^tiNee^> can someone help me out with this? http://pastebin.com/m6974196c [05:05] @iplaythisgame, koolranch: Agreed. [05:05] will I need to format my drive? [05:06] ^tiNee^: make a better formatted paste please [05:06] koolranch: probably not [05:06] Ok, now that I have read the log on my computer not starting with the nVidia driver, I am more confused. There is nothing in the log that indicates that it did not work. [05:06] @koolranch: Yes. I recommend ext3 for the filesystem. [05:06] <^tiNee^> it was straight from the module assistant [05:06] koolranch, after you delete the partition, the installer will do any necessary formating [05:06] sleep time for me. [05:06] will I lose Windows? [05:06] OK, here's a weird one. When I right click on the menu bar and select 'edit menus', I get a dialog box like I'm supposed to, but all the buttons (new item, new menu, new separator, etc). How do I get those buttons back?! [05:06] koolranch: no [05:06] ^tiNee^ what are you trying to do [05:07] have a nice dream [05:07] @koolranch: real quick before bed: not if you format the OTHER partition. :) Just gotta make sure you get the right one. [05:07] koolranch, the linux installer formats the linux partitions properly. Linux is NOT windows. :) [05:07] koolranch: follow Dr_willis advice... partition your drive, and leave whatever you want for linux unallocated, install Linux there, and it will setup the filesystem [05:07] err all the buttons are GONE [05:07] koolranch, as long as your sure u dont delete the partition containing c: [05:07] <^tiNee^> threedee, install driver for the webcam [05:07] Fryguy--: ok, I'll try fsck from a LiveCD. Thanks [05:07] ok, I'm a bit confused [05:07] koolranch, be VERy carefull what you format. thats why i said to use the windows parittion tool and 'delete' the d partition, leaving that part of the hard drive 'unallocated' the installer can be told to 'use unallocaated' space. [05:07] ^tiNee^ any webcam rooms? [05:08] stop dual booting [05:08] eyeslocal, I have heard of that before, and I think the guy said it had something to do with the language settings on his machine that made it work. [05:08] <^tiNee^> threedee, i dont quit understand ur question [05:08] its for sissys [05:08] I thought I was supposed to delete the d: partition, thereby merging both partitions [05:08] koolranch: you can do that if you want [05:08] eyeslocal, but I don't know what he did to fix it. [05:08] If I format that newly merged drive, won't I lose Windows? [05:08] koolranch: yes [05:08] koolranch, you delete the d: partition so you have room to install the linux partitions [05:08] dpeach: really? I'm using English, but I'll try to change it temporarily [05:08] hii all [05:08] ^tiNee^ i was wondering if there were any webcam rooms [05:09] koolranch, merged? who said merged? You will have C: and then "unallocated' space afterwards. [05:09] how I can install flash player 9 [05:09] so I can choose to use unallocated space instead of formatting? [05:09] <^tiNee^> threedee, sorry i dont know [05:09] koolranch: yes [05:09] ah, ok [05:09] koolranch, YEP [05:09] format [05:09] ! [05:09] koolranch, you have the formating fetish.. and are using the term improperly.. You partition a drive.. you make 'filesystems' on the drive.. then format the filesystems.. the installer will handle the formating of the linux filesystems [05:10] please help me ya [05:10] how I can install flash player 9 [05:10] fuln: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [05:10] in mozilaa [05:10] koolranch, the installer will take the unallocated space. and partition it as needed and format the newly made filesystems. :) [05:10] apt-get remove ubuntu [05:10] fdfds [05:10] ^tiNee^ maybe you should open one [05:10] when I try and run Savage 2 in Ubuntu a black screen flashes twice and then dissapears, can anyone help me? [05:10] so basically, all I need to make sure I have is enough unallocated space? [05:10] cpierce: if you aren't going to contribute anything meaningful, please leave [05:10] <^tiNee^> threedee, what do you mean? [05:10] koolranch, ya got it. [05:10] koolranch: yes [05:10] is there any way to modify lost+found dir in new partition ( delete) couse its not on main partition so what is the use of it? (its consuming entire drive 204gb) [05:11] Fryguy--: if you aren't going to contribute anything usless stay where you are [05:11] koolranch, and easy way to do that is jut have the windows partitioning tools delet the D: partition. [05:11] ok [05:11] what do I need to do after that? [05:11] koolranch, IF you really want to delete everything thats on D: :) [05:11] that was way harder than it needed to be..lol [05:11] how do i access the shared folder of a virtual box guest system? [05:11] ^tiNee^ open a webcam room [05:11] koolranch, afterwards.. boot linux cd.. run installer.. tell it to use unallocated space. [05:11] from the gues system [05:11] roney [05:11] yowshi: samba [05:11] and what do I do after that? [05:12] !install | koolranch [05:12] koolranch: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [05:12] cpierce: the guest system is a winblows box [05:12] should i upgrade to hardy Heron [05:12] koolranch, after installing? reboot and start using the new OS. [05:12] roney: yes [05:12] whre I can install flash player in offline mode..? [05:12] yowshi: it still would be the answer [05:12] so its a good idea [05:12] ok, I think I have it finally [05:12] when I try and run Savage 2 in Ubuntu a black screen flashes twice and then dissapears, can anyone help me? [05:12] cpierce: i also dont know how to use samba [05:12] or where to get it [05:12] !samba | yowshi [05:12] yowshi: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

You did install the proper 3d drivers for your video card? [05:13] cpierce: i dont think you understand. i want to access the physicasl hard drives from the guest os [05:13] koolranch, have a look at this. it doesnt contain the information about deleting your partition but it does show a walkthrough of the other steps that could be useful http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-ubuntu-8.04-lts-hardy-heron [05:13] well probably sudo apt-get install samba :) [05:13] yowshi: i understand [05:13] lol [05:13] dpeach: well, opening 'language support' did tell me i didn't have some files and then installed some new packages. Guess I'll reboot and see if anything changed. [05:13] apt-get instakll is for the linux os not the windows [05:13] hopefully so eyeslocal [05:13] thanks [05:13] besides there has to be a simplier way [05:14] Dr_willis: to be honest I have no idea, how would I know which ones to get [05:14] yowshi: vmware? [05:14] yowshi: samba is pretty simple [05:14] <|ns|nR8> yowshi, you want windows in vb to to access shared folder on ubuntu? [05:14] if you can install vmware you can install samba [05:14] demfrax, i think we have found the problem then. [05:14] demfrax, what is your video card? [05:14] Can someone please tell me how to install vmware so i can run windows on linux? [05:14] Fryguy--: thats a matter of oinion and yeah vmware.st i think it is. it is the virtual box thats in the repository [05:14] Dr_willis: ..., lemme check [05:14] AMLNXUSR: buy it they will tell you how to install it [05:14] Hello, can I setup Ubuntu to write with Thai language? [05:14] <|ns|nR8> AMLNXUSR, use virtualbox [05:15] vmware isn't free? [05:15] Into some text editor for example? [05:15] henux: the thai language has already been written [05:15] <|ns|nR8> noop...only the player [05:15] cpierce: How do I use it? [05:15] that sux [05:15] AMLNXUSR: there's free as in beer versions of it available, it's not opensource though [05:15] actually [05:15] vmware server is free [05:15] well, I guess I'll download ubuntu to c:, delete d:, and then read the install ubuntu to unallocated space [05:15] and follow the rest of the install instructions, too [05:15] will virtualbox play world of warcraft? [05:15] and allows for the same functionality as the regular workstation version [05:16] AMLNXUSR: probably not [05:16] <|ns|nR8> either will vmware AMLNXUSR [05:16] <|ns|nR8> use wine for that [05:16] AMLNXUSR: neither with vmware [05:16] |ns|nR8: yeah i want the windows VB to access a folder on ubuntu [05:16] AMLNXUSR: You can use wine to run World of warcraft, i'm pretty sure [05:16] koolranch, how do you mean download ubuntu to c:? [05:16] where can i go to download ndiswrapper on a non-linux machine [05:16] wine and vmware will play wow [05:16] My brother is on Gutsy, but it doesn't have the upgrade dist button and he's all updated to current on Gutsy [05:16] |ns|nR8: to put files from the vb onto the physical hard drives [05:16] fryguy: state facts that are truthful or leave [05:16] I'm not sure [05:16] so i can run windows but cant play wow? [05:16] can I boot from the hard drive? [05:16] <|ns|nR8> yowshi, the way i did it was shared a folder on ubuntu using command shares-admin [05:17] <|ns|nR8> then connect to it like any other share [05:17] My nVidia driver install results in a black screen (not starting X). Log file shows nothing amiss. Where do I look now? [05:17] AMLNXUSR: he doesn't know what he's talking about [05:17] lots of people use CXoffice to play wow [05:17] |ns|nR8: where do i use that command and whats the full command syntax [05:17] and lots of people use vmware to play wow [05:17] dpeach: pastebin the log [05:17] So how do I write with Thai script in Ubuntu? Can somebody instruct me? [05:17] Fryguy--, ok [05:17] i thought vmware coudln't do 3D?

[05:18] vmware can do limited 3d [05:18] wow is limited 3d [05:18] lol [05:18] change that DOES to WILL... [05:18] cpierce: Would it not be easier to just install WoW under wine? I think it's a platinum app, but then again i've never virtualized [05:18] eh ok [05:18] Fryguy--: ok, I'll have a look around, thanks. [05:18] dpeach: probably easiest to just boot to livecd and use that, otherwise see if there is a pastebin script in ubuntu repositories [05:18] Dr_willis: okay, I thought I knew where to find that stuff, but apparently I dont, where can I find it? [05:18] eyeslocal, did that help? [05:18] dpeach: nope. still no buttons :( [05:18] hi all [05:18] demfrax, what stuff? I got a short attention span.. :) [05:18] sorry.

[06:05] vasocreta: it should display the operational status...let me check tho [06:05] kinda stupid question (memory's failing me), but how do i move windows from desktop to desktop? [06:06] vasocreta: mine says UP LOOPBACK RUNNING so im assuming that means its up and running lol [06:06] grimrider: if it does goes down, then what can I do to prevent it from doing so? [06:06] Kohlrak: between virtual desktops? [06:06] yea, that [06:06] Kohlrak, in KDE you just drag the name in the task bar over to the desktop you want. [06:06] vasocreta: that i have no clue. [06:06] hmmm [06:06] Kohlrak: click on the icon on the top right corner.. use that menu [06:07] I will test something. [06:07] brb [06:07] dpeach, that worked the first time, actually, but for some reason the window won't move back now [06:07] k [06:07] anyone can help me with lnknet installing in ubuntu? [06:07] Kohlrak, or right click on the window and then tell it "To Desktop..." whichever you want. [06:07] ooooooooooooooooooooooooh [06:07] tannji: alternatively, hit applications --> accessories --> take screenshot --- grab the whole desktop after a delay of XXX seconds (enough time for you to click to expand the list) [06:07] i see that now [06:07] thank you [06:07] What program do I use to record video of my desktop. [06:07] yw [06:07] the dragging thing onyl worked once for some reason [06:07] oh well, this is good enough [06:08] glad I could help you, I can't seem to help myself. :) [06:08] what's your problem? [06:08] dpeach what's your problem? [06:08] nvidia drivers [06:08] trying to manually set refresh rates in the xorg file now. [06:08] depeach more info please. [06:08] Kohlrak another way: alt-tab to select the window, clt-alt-shift- to move the window [06:09] What program do I use to record video of my desktop. [06:09] video drivers is THE problem with linux === danopia`server is now known as danopia [06:09] Hey guys, what is the name of the song which starts at 2:50? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6DBY4iWWec [06:09] bob3213243 lots of people use gtkrecordmydesktop [06:09] bob3213243, I am working through some steps and then I will report back with what I find. [06:09] Please, please, please :-( [06:09] fun [06:09] I can't hear the lyrics :-( [06:09] so half of the binary apps out there have been built on one "enterprise" distro [06:09] or another [06:09] bob3213243 gtk-recordmydesktop, typo above [06:09] and thus, neeed libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 [06:09] ok [06:09] Weird [06:09] which ubuntu, in it's great wisdom ... don't have in hardy [06:09] thanks for the tip, nickrud [06:09] crap ! [06:10] Cpudan80: ok... first time in gimp... figured out the screen shot with delay dealio... now, how do I get that to you using pidgin? [06:10] vasocreta: result? [06:10] tannji: upload the image to imageshack.us and paste the URL it gives you [06:11] o.O [06:11] so noone knows about modprobe? [06:11] Flannel: any ideas on how to add mimetype.assign, any attempt at appending to that property seems like it just crashes the server [06:12] another stupid question, what is that tracker applet? Some kind of hash table of files or something? [06:12] asarch: The song is "I'd love you to want me" [06:12] ymanton: do you just want the modules loaded automatically at boot? [06:12] * asarch is checking... [06:12] Kohlrak: more or less [06:13] Kohlrak: with a cache of the file at various times [06:13] shockdiode: i want the modules loaded if im using that driver yes, the nvidia driver seems to load its module, i want the nouveau driver to load its modules if im using nouveau [06:13] norv: I have never used lightttp, so no. === eboyjr is now known as CFC-Nerd [06:13] @grimrider: for some reason (I have no idea why) it now works. [06:13] sheesh [06:13] so it's basically just a thingy that makes most commonly opened files open more quickly by holding them in the ram? [06:13] vasocret: lol well then problem solved [06:14] asarch: http://www.jamshedpurlive.com/i/songs/sli006.html [06:14] Kohlrak tracker is something that indexes files for easy searching [06:14] oh, ok. I thought that was what the search too was for... oh well. THanks XD [06:14] ymanton: well you could just put the modules in /etc/modules and they will load at boot. Just put the module name without the '.ko' extension [06:15] Kohlrak search is using tracker :) [06:15] now that makes sense [06:15] XD [06:15] asarch: Artist: Lobo, Title: I'd love you to want me. === CFC-Nerd is now known as eboyjr [06:15] Ok, I'm trying to install a graphics driver I got from S3 [06:16] so I type in chmod -x drivername.run [06:16] <|ns|nR8> s3 trio ? [06:16] then ./drivername.run [06:16] ok, I have defined the vertical and horizontal values for my monitor in the xorg.conf file and it still wont start. http://pastebin.com/m2826266e Both the original log file and the most recent one are there. [06:16] BeepII: +x [06:16] maybe? [06:16] I just got it from the S3 website [06:16] oh +x [06:16] BeepII and you'll want sudo ./drivername.run [06:16] THANK YOU VERY MUCH GUYS!!! [06:16] ooops [06:16] THANK YOU VERY MUCH GUYS!!! [06:16] ok, that makes sense. [06:16] thansk [06:16] *thanks [06:16] THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! :-) === The_Docto is now known as Ttech [06:17] dpeach: specify modes in defaultdepth subsection in the bottom of xorg.conf [06:17] does anyone know why MythTV gets no signal when scanning for channels [06:17] Fryguy--, ok. [06:18] Am I at the right place if I need some support regarding a failed distro upgrade? [06:18] Ok, so I did that. Now, I'm getting this line like 4 times: [06:18] ./setup.sh: 14: gawk: not found [06:18] dpeach: something like Modes "AxB" where AxB is the resolution you want [06:18] but w/ different numbers [06:18] does anybody know what to do with a .bundle file ? [06:18] BeepII: sudo apt-get install gawk [06:18] Tolarian: whats the troubles [06:18] esac unbundle it? [06:18] hey all, is "sudo apt-get remove compiz*" a good way to remove all the default installed Compiz packages? [06:18] nickrud: with ? [06:19] Cpudan80: hope this is it: [URL=http://img519.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sounddeviceye8.jpg][IMG]http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/8892/sounddeviceye8.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [06:19] well not exactly [06:19] but close enough [06:19] lol, nope [06:19] does anyone know why MythTV gets no signal when scanning for channels [06:19] wow that was simple. [06:19] Do I need to chmod it again? [06:19] BeepII: no [06:19] I was running 7.10 and started the upgrader in the update manager [06:20] esac I think that's something from apple ... don't know much about apple stuff [06:20] Everything went well, downloaded and installed some packages [06:20] Seems a package caused an error and the upgrader crashed [06:20] tannji: click the top one in that list [06:20] tannji: HDA Intel (Alsa Mixer) [06:20] If I have the latest updates for Hardy, is there a real need for me to download and install the .iso of 8.04.1? [06:20] The computer rebooted and now, the login screen will never show up [06:20] Cpudan80: got it [06:20] That wasnt easy to read btw ;-P [06:21] How do I merge the contents of two files without using the terminal? [06:21] ubunoob: No, if you've stayed updated, you already have 8.04.1 [06:21] Ok, now this: [06:21] ./setup.sh: 753 dialog: not found [06:21] ok so now close out the sound window tannji [06:21] Cpudan80: too low of rez? [06:21] The mouse icon is the the "circle" and it's been spinning for hours now... [06:21] Fryguy--, can you point me to something that shows me what this is supposed to look like? The default depth subsection? [06:21] tannji: its not a big deal [06:21] killing X did nothing, nor restarting the computer again [06:21] dunas: open both files up in text editor and copy/paste from one to the other [06:21] alrighty, thanks John [06:21] Cpudan80: ok [06:21] dpeach: Modes "AxB" where "AxB" is the resolution you want [06:21] ubunoob: Sure thing [06:21] tannji: now right click the sound icon on the taskbar and hit open volume control [06:21] Fryguy--: Gah, I meant folders. And there's a LOT of files to sort through here. ._.

Now, what would happen if I got the wrong driver? [06:23] Fryguy--, at the top of the xorg.conf file in the "Screen" section there is a Defaultdepth and it says 24 does what you are saying go under that? [06:23] tannji: hit edit --> preferences and check the following [06:23] hi folks! anyone here having trouble with the newest update of pidgin? its crashing on me whenever i send an IM now. [06:24] Fryguy--: The ultimate problem being I'm used to Windows, where it's drag the two folders with the same name, then tell it to Merge them, while here it wants to overwrite. [06:24] esac what was it, out of curiosity. That's the first time I've seen a .bundle on a linux executable/installer [06:24] dpeach: yes [06:24] I know that the gdmgreeter process is running constantly, using 15-50% of the cpu [06:24] ok [06:24] Any ideas? [06:24] nickrud: vmware workstation 6.5 beta 2 [06:24] tannji: (If you are missing some thats ok) -- Master, Master Mono, Headphone, PCM [06:24] ubunoob: If you want to be sure though, you can type this in a terminal lsb_release -a === SlowSlug6 is now known as kirby [06:24] becase I suspect it might be a via driver that I need even though the graphics card is S3 [06:24] ubunoob: That will tell you which distribution version you have installed [06:25] Cpudan80: I have many available, most checked [06:25] esac ah ... [06:25] tannji: ok well - crank the PCM up [06:25] ah nm. I'll just see what happens. . . [06:25] Cpudan80: it is [06:25] ok, i'll try that right now John [06:25] The folder " " cannot be copied because you do not have permissions to create it in the destination. --- this is what i get trying to put smtng on new partition [06:25] tannji: and still no sound? === mike is now known as Guest49642 [06:26] crank master up too obviously [06:26] Is there some way to merge the contents of two folders without doing it manually? [06:26] nickrud: an extension really doesn't matter in linux. you can call it file.dontrunthis and chmod it +x and it'll still run.. [06:26] Anyone know how to fix this: xvoutput: No XVIDEO port found which supports YUY2 images. [06:26] Nividia card. [06:26] djhash: it's still try to run, whether it runs or not is pretty important based on whether linux finds and elf header or a shebang line [06:27] djhash true. But often they are indicative of something. Just first time in over 8 years is all [06:27] yup 8.04.1 installed, thanks, i was just curious to know if there was any benefits of doing a clean install from 8.04 to 8.04.1 [06:27] nickrud: but i do agree.. it is kinda weird calling it bundle!!! [06:27] Fryguy--, we are getting somewhere. The very short log file says at the end "Fatal server error: no screens found" and then gives some errors having to do with xf86CloseConsole and xf86OpenConsole [06:27] dunas: cd destFolder; cp -R /path/to/source/folder [06:27] Ok, I got another error. it says to refer to some log files. [06:27] dpeach: you probably messed up the syntax for the screens section then [06:27] ubunoob: Should be good [06:27] how do I run them? [06:27] dunas: errr [06:28] dunas: cd destFolder; cp -R /path/to/source/folder . [06:28] That last dot is important [06:28] mode 1024X768 [06:28] BeepII less will display it in the terminal [06:28] Fryguy--: yeah.. i should've been more specific.. saying try to run.. instead of run.. [06:28] Cpudan80: I just started a dvd... no sound. Just occurred to me... If the Creative card is still physically installed... will that pose a problem? (it hasnt in XP, and I do want to get rid of it, just not until I get HDA working in Ububtu) [06:28] Cpudan80: That'll work even if it's a folder containing several different folders? [06:28] dpeach: http://blogs.sun.com/alanbur/resource/xorg.conf have a look here, notice at the very bottom it has the Modes line, do it like that [06:28] dunas: yes -R is recursive copy [06:29] Fryguy--, thank you. [06:29] tannji: DVDs pose a different problem - no it wont cause a problem [06:29] Nikrud, bash: syntax error near unexpected token 'newline' [06:29] what does that mean? [06:29] tannji: go back to that sound menu (system --> prefs --> sound) and hit the top right test button [06:29] Cpudan80: very good to hear, I was shocked XP didnt complain [06:29] BeepII you typed something wrong. What log file did it tell you to look at? [06:30] dunas: that doesn't really do a merge per se [06:30] s3setup.log [06:30] dunas: it just moves all the stuff from the source to the dest [06:30] audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. [06:30] How does a 'kernel variable' differ from a 'kernel parameter'?

[06:30] anyone want to go to the windows chat on irc and mock them? [06:30] Cpudan80: Ah, ok. This is all really confusing, I'm too used to the way Windows Explorer was handling it @@ [06:31] dunas: after you verify the contents, you should cd to one level above the original source directory and do rm -rf sourceDir [06:31] BeepII yeah, you'll see people use the brackets to indicate it's a variable you need to fill in [06:31] isiah_: why [06:31] dunas: You could use nautalius to do drag/drop moving - it works the same way [06:31] !coc | isiah_ [06:31] isiah_: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ [06:31] nickrud: Ok, the log repeatedly says It can't find kernel modules [06:31] and can't make kernel modules [06:31] tannji: switch it to that realtek OSS one [06:31] <> required [06:31] [] optional [06:31] ok sorry [06:32] watch [-n 1] "" [06:32] BeepII sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) <-- type that exactly, it will get you the support you need to make kernel modules [06:32] tannji: in all places that had the alsa thing (should be 3) [06:33] ok, but first, a kind of stupid question... how do I get out of the log? [06:33] BeepII q [06:33] Or ctrl-z [06:33] Not sure why, but ctrl-z was the first way I found to exit a man page, hah [06:34] ctrl-z is to stop a process [06:34] FlyingWV: pedantic, but ctrl-z doesn't exit a process, it backgrounds it [06:34] Cpudan80: I have OSS, or Realtek, not OSS Realtek... switch to OSS? [06:34] if you do that you really need to kill it [06:34] FlyingWV: and suspends it [06:34] I thought ctrl-c killed it, hmm [06:34] Ok, thanks cpierce, i'll remember that about ctrl-z [06:34] ctrl z suspends [06:34] then you could do bg %1 [06:34] to background it [06:34] or kill %1 [06:34] to kill it [06:34] cpierce: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:34] Learn somthing new every day :) [06:34] FlyingWV you might have a bunch of less processes floating in the background. Try ctl-z on some terminal process, the type jobs . Then type fg [06:35] tannji: just plain realtek then yeah - try the test button again [06:35] you could also specify fg %1 [06:36] or whatever the job you wanted to start back was [06:36] Tanks anyhoo, time for a wipe install :-(. === Miguel is now known as Guest45354 [06:39] Fryguy--: You use Irssi as well right?

Just being plugged in, it kept the machine from starting X. I unplugged it and it started right up. [06:39] cpu sound volume: change devices= HDA intel [06:39] 2 weeks I have been working on this! [06:40] FlyingWV: no idea, try #irssi [06:40] tannji: hit the test button back in the first window [06:40] Fryguy--: Thanks [06:40] Cpudan80: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback.

I want to tune the flickering of my vga monitor [06:41] tannji: use the first row [06:41] cpu... so many setting variables.. lol [06:41] wuxia: just turn off gnome and startx, and you'll have X [06:41] powertool08: Ah, I will look into that, thanks [06:41] I just installed Ubuntu on my Thinkpad and my external monitor (Samsung 22" lcd) is not detected. [06:41] tannji: it cant be that many [06:41] any ideas? [06:41] How does a 'kernel variable' differ from a 'kernel parameter'? [06:41] tannji: Just set the sound playback one [06:42] tannji: you could try the pulse setting right there just to see if it works [06:42] Flannel: how do I turn off gnome? I removbed my .xsession already, and gnome still starts [06:42] wuxia: change the session that you use in gdm [06:42] wuxia: just ctrl-alt-f1 and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [06:42] FlyingWV: /ignore -channels #chan1,#chan2 * JOINS PARTS QUITS [06:42] wuxia: then just startx, and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start to turn it back on [06:43] someone else having a graphics problems [06:44] nickrud: The installer tells me it can't make kernel modules which match my kernel [06:44] even after installing all that [06:44] I didn't have problems with GNOME or KDE but xfrce I did but i was testing Intrepid [06:44] hi...how do i fix fsck errors related to UUID?

[06:45] tannji: you want to use ALC888 then [06:45] Flannel because I had problems with ahving it on there [06:46] i had some problems with graphics. when the computer boots, press ctrl + alt + F6 [06:46] you'll have a console window [06:46] log in [06:46] tannji: so set that for all three playback things [06:46] sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:46] man am I the only one which I had no Graphics or Sound Problems [06:46] tannji: then for the device you should use.... [06:47] my volume controls skip from full to muted. when you try and change them they just jump around.... it's really funny.. odd. [06:47] and under the section "device" [06:47] maybe it's the hardware I use [06:47] tannji: prob the realtek thing [06:47] and a line Driver "vesa" [06:47] BouNCa: can you please stop hitting enter every few words?

[06:50] hi..how do i automount fat32 partitions on boot??? [06:50] sandman: edit /etc/fstab [06:50] ok... set the 3 to realtek, and at the bottom I have HDA Intel (ALSA mixer), or Realtek Oss mixer [06:50] bouNCa u may have to use the new one [06:50] tannji: does the realtek one have ALC888 in it?

[06:51] after i edited the xorg.conf, and restarted, i was able to get my gui. and then install the nvidia restricted driver [06:52] I heard that dell was disabling "stereo" on their newer computers and was wondering a couple things. 1: Does this matter if I installed ubuntu. and 2: what is the "stereo" setting? [06:52] tannji: right - so now close that and right click the sound icon on the taskbar and hit open vol control [06:52] Cpudan80: and what about device in sound volume: change device? [06:52] tannji: yes - file --> change device --> ALC888 something [06:52] do apps from 32 bit work in 64 bit? [06:53] Cpudan80: done [06:53] airin_72: not without something extra [06:53] airin_72: like a wrapper library or something [06:53] tannji: now go to edit preferences and check master and pcm [06:53] Well, thanks all. (I guess it's time to get a better graphics card) [06:53] tannji: set the master whatever you want - the PCM should be set about 50% [06:54] I heard that dell was disabling "stereo" on their newer computers and was wondering a couple things. 1: Does this matter if I installed ubuntu. and 2: what is the "stereo" setting?

[07:09] FlyingWV: You can test beforehand with -s (or --simulate) [07:09] tannji: if you right click on it, you can change what volume control it adjusts i think [07:09] tannji: prob not [07:09] guys do u have any idea where i can download "super cool" ubuntu themes?

[07:21] yup.. :) [07:21] does anyone else get the problem where flash will always show above stuff it shouldn't like menus?

[07:28] I'm thinking I might go that route. [07:28] is it possible to make icons (and menu items) draggable to docks & other panels & what not in xfce Z? [07:28] -z [07:29] pogztimz: switch to local, that is, to install the package [07:30] Intrepid: I was thinking about it.... although I don't like straying from the repos, ESPECIALLY for something as integrated into the computer environment as compiz. Heck, it IS the environment. Or at least a shell for it. [07:31] c0mp13371331337: That does make sense.

What daemon does Ubuntu use for remote desktop? [09:23] Fructose, we have a Vino's around here, they make great pizza :-p [09:24] "~$ ifconfig; eth0 Link encap:Ethernet hardware address ..." What does 'Link encapsulation' mean? [09:24] holyguyver: Which sound card were you having issues with? [09:25] holyguyver: I don't really get the name. I can't find any other vino commands. [09:25] hi [09:25] FlyingWV It is in the pastebin I posted [09:25] ikonia: still here? [09:25] I joined late, was not in here when the question/information was asked [09:26] Fructose we have a pizzaria in my town called Vino's Pizza :-p [09:26] holyguyver: I gathered [09:26] see ya [09:27] best pizza's are in chicago ;-) [09:27] i got often segfaults e.g. thudnerbird and blender 2.46 in hardy, so i made a memtest86, 3 passes and in test 6 in pass 0 1 error, is this bad? [09:27] hi someone can help me i cant make nvidia-xconfig work [09:28] I found vino-server in an unexpected place, but it gives me errors when trying to connect. Anyone know how to use this thing? [09:28] bazhang: Is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ the correct url for bug reporting? [09:29] I am having trouble with setting up a printer... the printer config isn't accepting my password :( why ? [09:29] http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu apinunt aye [09:30] cocari [09:30] hggfrdfgygfj [09:30] bazhang: Thanks, and It just now appeared, I thought I had the wrong address. I'll give it a try. [09:30] frde65uhyugfrdhhgtui98u7uy6r4wsdjjh [09:30] kiosk, english [09:32] hmm, does anyone have an idea why gnome file operations could get ... stuck? yesterday it happened while copying from an ntfs volume via the file manager, today it happens while emptying the trash [09:33] everything works fine via terminal, as far as I can tell [09:33] hi, i've still got a system connecting to ubuntu/edgy for updates but they all 404, what are my options? [09:34] ff3 in hardy? [09:34] cyberbuff: It is [09:34] lyte, you are on what version now [09:35] Flannel: do i have to download a new copy or only update? [09:35] cyberbuff: Just update [09:35] bazhang, i think it's still a fresh edgy install, it's an old forgotten about server that i need to upgrade and i don't want to rebuild [09:35] lyte: You can go into a terminal and use the command: lsb_release -a [09:35] Flannel: ok [09:35] lyte: That will show you which version you have [09:36] lyte edgy? you're sure about that? [09:36] lyte: You need to change your repository URLs to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ that'll allow you to upgrade to the most recent edgy, and then to Feisty from that [09:36] Release: 6.10 Codename: edgy [09:36] Flannel, cheers [09:36] hi, ubuntu uses the ide-scsi driver to load ATAP cd devices as SCSI devices ? [09:37] i have a feeling that somebody has seriously fubar'ed the repository, i just noticed that XMMS is no longer there [09:38] !xmms | Anarhist [09:38] Anarhist: xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious instead. [09:38] the cups configuration isn't accepting my password :( how can I fix this ? [09:41] thanks, Flannel but how come plugins for xmms are still there, like xmms-ogre xmms-midi etc [09:41] anyone know if kde 4 will install on sparc? [09:42] stevec_: most likely [09:42] trying to fix grub after installing windows on hda1. ubuntu is on hda2. grub> root (hd0,1) says "selected disk does not exist". grub> root (sd0,1) says "error while parsing number". google seems to lead me on a goose chase. any ideas what's going on? [09:42] i got often segfaults e.g. thudnerbird and blender 2.46 in hardy, so i made a memtest86, 3 passes and in test 6 in pass 0 1 error, is this bad? [09:42] rsk: it seems to have some dependancy problems when I try to install [09:42] i heaving graphics corruption with ATI FGLRX 8.6 and wine, someone know ho i can fix this? [09:43] The_ManU_212: Any errors on memtest is not good [09:43] genii: it was yesterday only one error, today in one complete pass nothing [09:43] Flannel, Thanks, that did the trick I can now do an aptitude update/upgrade, hopefully the release upgrade works just as nicely :) [09:43] genii: how to detect 100% if its the ram? [09:44] The_ManU_212: When the ram errors are sporadic it's usually a cooling issue [09:44] genii: the system runs as it is since 3 years, and my case has no place for extra fan [09:45] what would the terminal command to mount /dev/hda5 as a ntfs filesystem to location /home/user/target be? [09:45] iam thinking mount -a /dev/hda5 ntfs /home/user/target [09:45] ? [09:45] The_ManU_212: When I want intensively to test the ram I slightly overclock it and run the memtest. Since this makes it warm up and show errors immediately that will later only be apparent when it overheats during normal use. [09:47] I need help! The cups config. program isn't accepting my password :( I am an admin how can I fix this? [09:48] does anyone here know how to grant a user privlage to a mysql database? === C5674588 is now known as chalcedony [09:49] genii: the cpu is @ 40°C and the temp in the inner @ 35°C [09:50] olskolirc: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/grant.html [09:50] how does one reference /dev/sda in grub? [09:51] Gothfunc_: hd0 [09:51] Gothfunc_ as in root or setup? [09:51] root [09:51] trying to fix grub after installing windows on hda1. ubuntu is on hda2. grub> root (hd0,1) says "selected disk does not exist". grub> root (sd0,1) says "error while parsing number". google seems to lead me on a goose chase. any ideas what's going on? [09:52] is this a chat room? [09:52] The_ManU_212: That sounds well within limits. Most intels for instance begin to fail at around 70-75C [09:52] sorry, should be sda1 and sda2 [09:52] chriswr, yes [09:52] Gothfunc_: as flannel stated, however if yu have some ide drives also you may need to check your devices file [09:52] genii: so what to do? :/ [09:52] koshari: well... it IS an ide drive so i'm a bit confused as to why it's sda ;) [09:53] so if I want to use webcam sites like live.yahoo.com I suppose linux is not for me? I can't make even displaying of other peoples cams work in firefox [09:53] chriswr: Yes, for Ubuntu related support queries :) [09:53] Gothfunc_: check /boot/grub/device.map and there should be a map [09:53] The_ManU_212: Ram temp limits are probably different than cpu limits. I'd clean out the case with a vacuum, make sure it's clean and ram seated properly, try memtest after this again for a few cycles to see if same error reappears. [09:53] (hd0) /dev/sda [09:53] ok [09:54] so why the error? :s [09:54] The_ManU_212: At any rate, it seems to be more a hardware issue than an Ubuntu-specific one [09:54] chriswr, plz post in the public mode so that others can benefit from your query...it is not considered good ettiquette to post unsolicited private msgs...see guidelines [09:54] Gothfunc_ its not really an error, its just grubs convention only looks at hd8 syntax [09:54] genii: the ram should sit well, i never move the machine and it works since years without seg fault, i cleaned the case 2 weeks ago [09:55] chriswr, you can download compiz-fusion from System>Administration>Synaptic === sean is now known as Guest95953 [09:55] genii: and the ram errors in memtest are very little, only one error in 3 passes [09:55] i think this isnt many [09:55] sandman, what would it be listed under/as? [09:55] The_ManU_212: ANY errors in ram is bad. [09:56] koshari: so which error am i not supposed to be paying attention to? the one that says my disk doesn't exist? ;) [09:56] koshari: so i need to use rootnoverify? [09:56] hey [09:56] what do i have to type in to end compiz with gnome? like kwin --replace in kubuntu? [09:56] The_ManU_212: With ECC ram you can sometimes let it go for a while, but not the regular stuff. ram problems is exactly the symptoms you describe of segfaults as well [09:56] can anyone guide me [09:56] genii: it was test 6, modulo 20, zeros and ones [09:56] i need help in installing VIA p4m900 display drivers [09:57] helllooo [09:57] can anyone guide me? [09:57] i need to enable graphjic effects [09:57] Sorry about that guys my internet for some reason stopped working & refused to work until now [09:57] chriswr, search for compiz..but before that you need to have the latest graphics dfrivers installed [09:57] i have ubuntu 8.04 [09:57] !anyone | maniac [09:57] maniac: 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? [09:57] The_ManU_212: Buy new ram, is the best suggestion [09:57] sandman, allreddy done that , so i think i should be good to go , thnx :) [09:58] FlyingWV & bazhang sorry about my net stopped working & refused to connect until now, so sorry for dropping out there. [09:58] does anyone know how to enable graphic features? [09:58] The_ManU_212: Since most ram is guaranteed for a number of years you may vene be able to get a refund on the faulty stuff [09:58] Gothfunc_ not as far as i know, what prob are you actually having error 22? [09:58] effects* [09:58] genii: and how to detect which of my 2 ram it is? [09:58] holyguyver: Could you copy your pastebin info again? I'll look at it [09:58] muahahah [09:58] koshari: 21 [09:58] genii: one ram is about 5 years old, the other i think about 3 [09:59] does anyone know how I can enable graphic effects on my lappy? [09:59] FlyingWV yes I was in the middle of pastbining it when I lost connection [09:59] The_ManU_212: Pull 1 stick. Run the test. If good, test the other. Etc [09:59] muhaahah [09:59] maniac, all i had to do was install the latest driver and mine worked [09:59] Here you go FlyingWV http://paste.ubuntu.com/25879/ [09:59] i need help in installing VIA p4m900 display drivers [09:59] greetings, what are the names of the "unstable" repositorys in ubuntu? [10:00] its not happenening in mine chriswr [10:00] Hello [10:00] genii: ok but the problem is only one error in 3 passes, and i made today one pass and nothing happens, im afraid to detect nothing anymore :/ [10:00] i mean i have totally updated it [10:00] Gothfunc_: boot of the live cd, mount your file sys, navigat to /boot/grub/device.map and see what your os partition is mapped to, [10:00] i want to know if any one is using via display drivers? [10:00] ?????????????????????????????????????? [10:01] koshari: already done. hd0 [10:01] The_ManU_212: What else can I tell you? [10:01] Im having a problem with 2 things. the first is My logitech webcam, and the second is an NTFS harddrive [10:01] grrr [10:01] this sucks donkeys [10:01] like brrr [10:01] can anyone help? [10:01] koshari: (hd0) /dev/sda [10:01] Kosheri what is the altamit answer to life the universe & everything? [10:02] ive installed a heap of apps and removed a lot is there anyway to tidy things up? [10:02] then change the entry in menu.1st and then run grub root , setup as per here, http://www.techtalkwiki.net/restore_grub_on_linux or edit the grub line to reflect it temrerarily at boottime [10:02] is compiz-fusion just like beryl or are they different in some way? [10:02] koshari: and if i grub> setup (hd0) i get error 12, "invalid device requested"# [10:02] genii: ok i dont think [10:02] the heat is the problem [10:02] chriswr: beryl is old and depracated [10:03] also i think the ram is placed well and i get sporadic errors [10:03] ok , thnx [10:03] in memtest [10:03] adn thudnerbird crashes opften [10:03] holyguyver: i don't think that will help any of us right now ;o [10:03] The_ManU_212: Could just be going bad... also may have bad timings set in the BIOS settings, memory stick issues are tricky [10:03] holyguyver: unless i should be doing grub> root (hd42,0) [10:03] holyguyver: its 42 [10:04] can somebody help me with an ntfs command. I've got a failing hard drive. [10:04] But can anyone help me >.> [10:04] what linux prog can i use to listen to online radiso that have files like: [10:04] File1=http://www.live365.com/play/294341?auth=c2dc52a0989ff2b18e3a2038db08bb8e-1215536607-velvet_ant&tag=live365&token=18181df664abd322eb80d171dae8b7e4-0309080080301120&sid=128.12.194.220-1215507722689&lid=807-usa&from=pls [10:04] Same here, I need NTFS help [10:04] FlyingWV: i didnt changed anything in bios, all default [10:04] The_ManU_212: Facts: ANY ram errors (sporadic or consistent) cause segfaults ..your ram (at least one stick of it) is relatively old ..memtest shows failures [10:05] The_ManU_212: In my experience, default's not always stable either :) I had to actually tinker with my BIOS settings to make my computer stable [10:05] Gothfunc_ with setup you need to indicate the partition as well, ie, (hd0,1) [10:05] help... [10:05] The_ManU_212: It all shows the ram is failing, whether only once in a while does not matter since it only takes one time in a trillion cycles to make it segfault [10:05] Gothfunc_ sorry, that is for root/ [10:05] Gothfunc there is some cli program that has an easter egg about that answer 42. [10:05] wuxia, you can use tunapie to fetch shoutcast urls and redirect them to any audio player [10:05] wuxia: Have you tried Rhythmbox? [10:05] koshari: i have been [10:05] FlyingWV: ok, youre right, but since the last days i never got seg fault with my bios, so i think my settinsg are stable [10:05] koshari: did you see my examples? :P [10:06] I can't write to a hard drive, showing up as a media disk. I need to know, ntfsmount commands specifics [10:06] How do I access an NTFS hard drive? The ntfs3 tool doesnt work for me [10:06] The_ManU_212: I agree with genii I think, it points to your sticks failing, unfortunately [10:06] koshari: root (hd0,1) should be where /boot is [10:06] Titan: you mean view or write? [10:06] FlyingWV any ideo on my problem? [10:06] Gothfunc_: no ididnt see your example, i would imagine the setup error means you have a error in your menu.1st file [10:06] Either [10:06] !ntfs-3g | Titan [10:06] Titan: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [10:06] holyguyver: Sorry, I'm not familiar with your sound card, I wish I could help [10:06] koshari: invalid drive error is because of my menu.lst? [10:07] koshari: are you sure? [10:07] how come when i click to download a torrent, transmission runs but doesn't load the torrent> [10:07] FlyingWV: yes, now thudnerbird runs normally and i think its the ram, btw the error yesterday was in 974.1MB of 1024 [10:07] The_ManU_212: I'd definitely test the 5 year old memory stick solo first, that's most likely the one that is failing [10:07] Gothfunc_: not totally sure but basicly the output fron setup is devived from the menu.1st info [10:08] FlyingWV: ok [10:08] koshari: there are no references to drives that don't exist in menu.lst. i think setup is whining about the parameter i passed it (hd0) [10:08] koshari: this is also confirmed by the fact that root () complains too [10:08] Gothfunc where were you when we sacked Rome? [10:09] The_ManU_212: Also just a quick note, I think common wisdom that paired memory modules work better together [10:09] holyguyver: in rome ;( === row_ is now known as row [10:09] The_ManU_212: So buying a pair is preferrable, if you go the route of buying new memory [10:09] Gothfunc_: whats your output from this find /boot/grub/stage1 [10:09] Gothfunc Neat, thanks for the help, it was a good sacking :) [10:10] Hi everyone! === C4573127 is now known as chalcedony [10:10] FlyingWV: ok, and if my MB uses 333mhz can i also use 400mhz ram or is my ram then running slower, i only now that if mainboard or ram (dont know which, or both) its running slower [10:10] koshari: wait.. do i have to be working with /boot/grub and not /.../boot/grub? [10:11] Hi XChat, you knwo I am using you right now :p [10:11] because here 333mhz are more expensive [10:11] koshari: that is, i have to chroot not just mount? [10:11] I found a bug! [10:11] I changed the root password in mysql and now dpkg can't connect to mysql. Do I need to reinstall mysql to fix this or is there another way? [10:11] Is there a gnome application available for use of a virtual keyboard? Mouse click to key gui? Using Hardy btw [10:11] ive installed everything witht he word compiz in synaptic and i cant find any file on my computer to use is , can somone help me out? [10:11] The_ManU_212: Timings are a tricky subject, multipliers and all those issues [10:12] The_ManU_212: Right now my memory is slightly underclocked for stability I think, a lot of depends on your mother board, the options you have to change in BIOS, etc [10:12] FlyingWV: ok [10:12] Gothfunc_: you need to be working with the /boot on the filesystem, not the one in the ramdrive [10:13] Gothfunc_: you dont have to chroot either [10:13] how can i uninstall applications installed using sh command? [10:13] FlyingWV: so if i get new 2gb ram and have a swap of 1gb thats enough? [10:13] koshari: well stage1 is there [10:14] koshari: /mnt/boot/grub/stage1 [10:14] I placed the folder "documents" in the desktop some time ago; then I downloaded some images using firefox and placed them on that folder (Documents); When I opened the folder The images werent there! But I went to the Documents folder using the menu and they are there! but they are not there when I open the documents folder using the icon in the desktop! thats all [10:14] My problem now is, when I use the command " sudo apt-get install ntfs-config " It says that I dont have libdbus, even though I do [10:14] The_ManU_212: Yes, right now I have only 2GB of Ram, it runs find, I have another 2GB that I can put in, but I don't feel like messing with the stability issues [10:15] uisng xsensors - is my sys temp supposed to be higher than my cpu temp? [10:15] The_ManU_212: Granted I have 2GB of ram and 2GB of swap, but my swap is hardly ever used [10:15] ive installed everything witht he word compiz in synaptic and i cant find any file on my computer to use is , can somone help me out? [10:15] chriswr: Gnome? [10:16] FlyingWV: stability issues with 4 gb of what? ubuntu? [10:16] any one use pcman file manager? how can i change the default doub-click to single click plz? [10:16] FlyingWV: my MB only supports maximum 2gb [10:16] The_ManU_212: I have four 1 GB memory sticks, but only have two in my machine [10:16] The_ManU_212: I would need to change the timings in my BIOS to make it stable with 4, and just dont feel like doing it :) [10:16] soreau, what you mean? [10:16] Gothfunc_ are you running the find command from grub, ie, grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 [10:17] FlyingWV: ah ok [10:17] Gothfunc_ it should simply retern a hd string [10:17] The_ManU_212: Size itself is not an issue, but if you go to four memory sticks, you would need to change the timings to 2T, and I have mine at 1T... lots of nitpicky things with memory sticks [10:17] do i need to install gnome also? [10:17] chriswr: System>Preferences>Appearance>Visual Effects>Extra [10:18] got that selected [10:18] is that all i need? [10:18] Hello, I want to monitor network users on my local network using ubuntu 8.04 hardy, I have monitor how much bandwidth each use per month on the Internet, any tools that I can use? I tried ipfm but I don't know how to work with it. Is there anything better? [10:18] there is no fluxbox-generate_menu in the fluxbox package that comes with 8.04. [10:19] any idea from where i can download it? [10:19] FlyingWV: yes, i didnt know that it can be so complicated, so first when i finished working, i will test my 5 years old ram and then i'll buy new one [10:20] I lost my password on my other PC (ubuntu 6.06) [10:20] The_ManU_212: Yes, good luck [10:20] how can i reset it or something? [10:20] koshari: i was running from the console, not grub. in grub it says file not found, in the console it just lists the file as if i used ls [10:20] my laptop connection to my home router keeps going up and down. I've checked the daemon log and it appears that my laptop puts in a DHCP renewal every 1500 seconds or so. I'm not sure whether that's the reason or not. But is that normal ? [10:20] to renew so often ? [10:20] orgthingy: Boot to single user mode. Issue something like: passwd username where "username" is the username to change it for [10:20] Gothfunc_: you need to have your filessytem mounted with the boot/grub dir on it, [10:20] koshari: and i assume you mean /mnt/grub/boot/stage1, i.e. the stuff on sda2, not ram [10:21] FlyingWV: thx [10:21] babo: isn't it set on the router ? [10:21] koshari: it is [10:21] orgthingy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword [10:21] Gothfunc out of curiosity what is your age? [10:21] koshari: it's at /mnt/boot/grub/stage1 [10:21] Flannel: Ah, nice [10:21] Gothfunc_: so you can browse the hard drive partition where you installed ubuntu? then find should be able to detect it? [10:21] koshari: find /mnt/boot/grub/stage1 just returns "stage1" [10:21] thanks [10:22] koshari: yes, i did, i told you the output ;) [10:22] there is no fluxbox-generate_menu in the fluxbox package that comes with 8.04. where can i download it from? [10:23] Gothfunc_: dunno mate, iam a bit confused now, how did you install? [10:23] koshari: you want me typing this in grub or not? in grub find says file not found, in bash find says "stage1" [10:23] koshari: installed from hardy cd [10:24] hey, it seems that ubuntu's version of nginx is ridiculously old, can i be assured that it's receiving proper security attention? or am I better off building the latest stable version from source? [10:24] im trying to run half-life 2 under wine 1.1.0 in ubuntu 8.04 lts x86_64 with the i386 and amd64 package and i get same problem [10:25] error for half-life 2: unable to get IFileSystem interface from filesystem factory" [10:25] Gothfunc_ in grub, [10:25] s3a: have you tried in #winehq ? that's the dedicated wine support channel, also you might try googling the error [10:25] koshari: it says file not found [10:25] Ademan: ill check the wine irc channel thx [10:26] i dont know why grub wont find the grub configs if the drive is mounted? [10:26] uisng xsensors - is my sys temp supposed to be higher than my cpu temp? [10:26] koshari: may be not using sudo [10:26] Ademan: From the version number, it doesn't appear like it has. You should contact the maintainer about getting it updated, and in the mean time, you may have to roll your own === ewook_ is now known as ewook [10:26] On my machine at least, grub is in /boot/grub/ [10:26] Gothfunc_: did you sudo grub? [10:26] Not /mnt/boot/grub [10:26] raheem: cheers, sorted [10:27] ;D [10:27] :) [10:27] s3a: no problem, also http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2890 contains lots of test data from people trying to run hl2 on wine, and may contain fixes for that error [10:27] stupid mistake to make. some kind of hint from the program would've been nice though! [10:27] thanks anyway koshari [10:27] Flannel: thanks as always, do you know if there's a (hypothetically) way to sponsor package maintenance? [10:28] Ademan: yes! #ubuntu-motu can tell you all about it [10:28] Gothfunc_: postbin the output of, sudo fdisk -l [10:28] koshari: it's all sorted. it was sudo [10:28] thanks [10:29] silly me etc [10:29] Gothfunc_ it said that in the link i sent you, :0 but anyway good 2 see you got to the bottom of iot [10:29] Flannel: thanks, definitely something i'll look into if things work out for me :-) [10:30] koshari: you sent me a link? ;) [10:31] Can anyone provide me with some commands that would provide info related to the USB ports of my computer, so far lsusb is all I've found and it doesn't tell much. [10:32] If I've built intltool from source (so that I have the newest version), how can I make Synaptic use it when adding packages with intltool as a dependency? [10:33] apinunt: Well, not sure if it's what you want, but lsusb -v will give you a ton of info to read on your devices [10:34] hey guys. I just downloaded the .deb files for the NX server (server, client, node) from the webpage, but cant find a usefull guide to configure the server. can anyone point me to a good and up to date guide or help me get the process started and point me to where the configuration is done so i can figure the rest out? thanks! [10:34] can anyone tell me how to use my emerald themes? [10:35] chriswr: are you using compiz? [10:35] yay! problem solved :) I 'broke' the update manager when I changed the mysql root password. It could no longer connect to mysql. The fix was to go into mysql and type this SET PASSWORD FOR root@localhost = password(''); [10:35] J1: tried this ? http://www.nomachine.com/download-package.php?Prod_Id=5 [10:35] Gothfunc_: for next time, :-) http://www.techtalkwiki.net/restore_grub_on_linux?s=grub [10:35] i dont even know if im running that [10:35] FlyingWV: I'll try that. I have 4 ports, 2 front and 2 rear, which are supposed to be USB2.0 and they all work fine in WinXP, but many problems in Ubuntu which vary depending on which port is used. [10:36] Smegzor: update manager shouldn't care what mysqls root password is (and you do want to have one) update-manager shouldn't be connecting to your SQL server. [10:36] raheem - yes but there are only installation instructions. ive done that and its installed. but i cant find any place to start the service [10:36] chriswr: well they're compiz window themes, you can see if you're running it with this command: ps -aux | grep -i compiz if anything shows up (besides that line itself, you should be running compiz) [10:36] Flannel: Tell it that because it most certainly does care and does connect. [10:37] chriswr: also under system->preferences->appearance, under desktop effects, if you are using basic or advanced desktop effects you're using compiz [10:37] http://www.nomachine.com/documentation/admin-guide.php [10:37] raheem - nvm just foudn smth [10:37] raheem - ah thx [10:37] k [10:37] chriswr: the second way i mentioned is probably a better way to find out [10:37] Hello, I want to monitor network users on my local network using ubuntu 8.04 hardy, I have monitor how much bandwidth each use per month on the Internet, any tools that I can use? I tried ipfm but I don't know how to work with it. Is there anything better? [10:37] koshari: thanks, but i think i'll be fine now i know to check the obvious ;) [10:37] raheem - thats what i just found ^_^ thanks anyway, didnt see that before [10:38] Smegzor: dpkg works just fine without MySQL installed, it really shouldn't be connecting. [10:38] no probs J1 [10:38] I think it connects when packages that use mysql want to be set up. I have been installing a few for my web server. [10:38] ademan , i checked the second way and i am running compiz [10:39] the last package that would not install with a root password set was mtop [10:39] raheem - i didnt manually install any aditional libraries. it would have asked for them if they are missing when i installed the .deb file right? [10:40] hi, can anyone help me with "wine"?.... [10:40] chriswr: i'm not positive this will work, but you can try it, again under system->preferences->appearance there's an 'install' button, try to use it to install the package (just click it and then select the emerald file) [10:40] caligarn1037 - what do u need help with? [10:40] caligarn1037: #winehq is the dedicated wine channel, but you can ask in here as well [10:41] when i try to open a .pub file under the wine microsoft publisher...it gives me a "windows doesn't have enough memory error" [10:41] i guess so.. don't have much experience with nx though [10:41] but, u didn't get any errors, right ? [10:41] raheem - no not yet lol [10:41] good luck :) [10:41] tried that , it wouldnt even show the file as being there [10:41] caligarn1037 - did u checkt he application database on the wine webpage? [10:42] ill look [10:42] Hello, I want to monitor network users on my local network using ubuntu 8.04 hardy, I have monitor how much bandwidth each use per month on the Internet, any tools that I can use? I tried ipfm but I don't know how to work with it. Is there anything better? [10:42] caligarn1037 - there are instructions for each application over there. as well as info on whats working and what not [10:42] raheem - thanks ^_^ [10:42] any more ideas? [10:42] Hello, I want to monitor network users on my local network using ubuntu 8.04 hardy, I have monitor how much bandwidth each use per month on the Internet, any tools that I can use? I tried ipfm but I don't know how to work with it. Is there anything better? [10:43] is onboard sound worse than sblive pci ? like how does it affect performance? [10:43] hi [10:44] Hello, I want to monitor network users on my local network using ubuntu 8.04 hardy, I have monitor how much bandwidth each use per month on the Internet, any tools that I can use?

[10:45] spoonwizard: in that case, why don't u change the colour :) [10:46] I did but it does not want to... [10:46] can anyone help me , im having problems installing emerald themes , they show up in my emerald themer window but cant seem to figure out how to use them [10:46] spoonwizard: i don't have experience with your issue.. so, can't help [10:46] chriswr: can't u select the the theme there ?

[10:47] Uh oh spaghettio [10:47] "ata1.00: error {UNC }" can't be a good thing. [10:47] just type sudo fdisk -l (that's a L) [10:48] spoonwizard: I think you must do that from your gateway host [10:48] mixed in with other anonymous error messages that prevent me from booting, after the laptop took a slight fall. [10:48] I think I may be forking out for a new hard drive? [10:50] juzzydee: I would say your hard drive is failing, probably [10:50] That's some fair coin to spend on probably. [10:50] But I'm not seeing much other choice. [10:50] juzzydee: maybe new HD will fix your problem ... ;) [10:50] The server is a firewall that also acts as the gateway for all the computers on the network, but I dont know what software to use for that type of monitoring.. [10:50] how do i find my run queue length over a period of 2-5mins ? [10:51] It does throw Beffer I.O error on deveice sda, logical block 16 every now and then [10:51] Beffer = Buffer. [10:51] Lot's of other blocks too, that's just an example [10:51] spoonwizard: maybe you can use MRTG [10:52] you can combine that with Nagios.

Its now working even though root has a password and despite failing to install due to expecting no password. My problem with dpkg failing was really just the mtop install failing. [10:54] pradeep: Has it been partitioned already? [10:54] i nope [10:54] pradeep: If you run gparted it should help you partition then format it [10:55] pradeep: try with gparted. [10:55] gparted [10:55] ?? [10:55] what is MRTG a package? [10:55] or for more chalenging you can parted, it's a command line utility. [10:55] Hrmms, can a hdd "settle" back into place after a shock? [10:55] i just want to format it [10:55] pradeep: the best way would be, go to System > Administration > Partition Editor (Gparted) .. use it [10:55] i dun want to make any partitions as such [10:55] ok [10:55] spoonwizard: I thin soo, [10:56] pradeep: You can't format a disk that hasn't been partitioned yet. Gparted will let you do both in one shot [10:56] ya, lol [10:56] but you can easily install that because that's only perl script. [10:56] After about half an hour of repeating bad block this, ata1 error that [10:56] pradeep: in Gparted, in the top right corner, you will find a drop down list, make sure, you select your pendrive ;) [10:56] pradeep: you must create partiotion before you can format your pendrive.

I just thought maybe he misunderstood the word "format", which is common. [10:58] ok [10:58] i'm trying to [10:58] :)) [10:58] What do you think of Western Digital?

[10:59] HELLOOOOOOOOO i need help!!! [10:59] chriswr: u mean the cube ?

[11:01] i need to format my pen drive [11:01] :( [11:02] i need help [11:02] Musli: It is common to use 2 to 2.5 as much swap space as you have RAM. [11:02] ok [11:02] chriswr: They're both in universe (but universe is enabled by default now). And if thats all you want to do, I suggest simple-ccsm (although you can have both installed, no problem. The simple one is a... well, simplified version of the other) [11:02] Musli: So if you have 1 GB RAM, 2 or 2.5 GB of swap space would be normal. That's not to say those are the minimum, though. [11:02] Musli : My System not have swap partition... [11:03] raheem> u there [11:03] help out m8 [11:03] ok thx alot [11:03] I uselot of VM at my system .

[11:03] I think that once you get over 2GB of RAM you don't really need 2x swap anymore, in most cases... I have 2gb RAM and 2gb swap, hardly use any swap at all [11:04] nvm i got it [11:04] If you have 4Gb of RAM i think you not need SWAP . [11:04] thnx a LOT [11:04] and what filesystem do you recommend? [11:04] is there an easy way to have apt identify which files is hasn't installed, or alternatively all the ones it has? [11:04] Musli: For swap ? [11:05] not for swap [11:05] lyte: What do you mean? [11:05] i need to format my pen drive [11:05] lyte: What are you trying to find out?

[11:06] lyte [11:07] rssy [11:07] I finally got the NTFS drivers, but now it says "Permission needed to access MINE" ( The name of my NTFS drive ) [11:07] Is it possible to get an intermediate result from rsync?

[11:07] I cant get any more power though, im root [11:07] i need to format my pen drive [11:07] lyte: I'm less sure of that, but dpkg -S /path/to/file will check for an individual file (it'll give the package its in) [11:07] Musli: I'd suggest ext3 myself, I think the creater of ReiserFS is in prison now... [11:07] musli: since reiser is in jail it's probably better to use ext3 [11:07] i need to format my pen drive [11:07] how do i do that [11:07] Is there another way to access the drive? [11:07] pradeep, i can't find anything called rssy... [11:07] oh god :P [11:08] rssy was a user [11:08] ok [11:08] srry for that [11:08] lyte: Oh. You can also use dpkg -L package, to get a list of all the packages in that file. That combined with dpkg -l (or any number of other ways to list the files) and you could get all the files [11:08] lyte [11:08] can u help me formatting my usb pen drive [11:08] pradeep: The point of unplugging it then replugging it is to then look at the output of command: dmesg|tail to discover what device it is. This is important so as not to format the wrong device. [11:08] Musli: i would use ext3 [11:08] Flannel, ta dpkg will do, i can script the search :) [11:08] ok i have ext3 [11:08] Once again I learn an important lesson in backing up the hardway [11:09] lyte: You could ls your path and dpkg -S too. And that will probably require less. [11:09] I was using this machine as a django development machine.

[11:11] pradeep: just use gtparted s/w if ur unfamiliar [11:11] pradeep: Yes. I just told you that the reason to unplug and replug the usb pendrive is to determine then which devicename it is receiving so that the correct device gets partitioned and then formatted [11:11] ok [11:12] i'll do that now [11:12] Can i make apt-get to install "recommended packages" when i install a package?

Are you guys avoiding me or something? I just have 1 quick question [11:16] !ask | Tita1 [11:16] Tita1: 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. :-) [11:16] anyone know why I'd get unclean shutdown on my SDHC card for Ubuntu on EeePC?

Is there a way to open a drive through the terminal? Because then I could use the Sudo command and it should work. [11:19] thanks ;) [11:19] * NTFS tool [11:20] scorpian: I would not say that "[06:09] @pradeep type #sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1" is prudent without first knowing for instance if sdb is in fact their external usb device they wish to actually format. [11:20] how help me?:] [11:20] I need some serious help....I've had to uninstall ubuntu, but I cant get it to work. I have a 22inch TV with a VGA port plugged into my Nvidia Geforce 6150. windows works fine. but I cant install ubuntu or even run the live cd. I can , but after the ubuntu orange bar loads, it goes to No Signal on my TV. wtf? any suggestions [11:20] how helped me?:]]] [11:21] There, I tried your way and nobody helped [11:21] Correction - I cannot install ubuntu or even run the live CD [11:21] quick question: I'm trying to cat a bunch of files I have that are in sub-directories into 1 file. Essentially trying to do this: cat [find . *.txt] > text.csv --- but of course that doesn't work. Can anyone help me with the syntax for something like that? or is it not possible? [11:22] Basicly, Is there a command to open a hard frive? [11:22] *drive [11:22] Tital: try to find owership $ls -l [11:22] Tital:owenership* [11:22] What?

[11:23] * scorpian frozen fingers [11:23] morodock: cat `find . -name "*.txt"` [11:23] Tita1: it means "go to a terminal and run the command 'ls -l'" [11:23] tparcina: cat /etc/passwd [11:24] rssy: thank you [11:24] giantmidget: thanks [11:24] I ran it now what do I do? [11:24] Tital: go online read the docs dude it jus lists all files with permissions [11:24] Tita: what you mean with open hardrive. [11:24] tital: buy a book or read online [11:25] What? [11:25] I cant Open the drive [11:25] to see content of harddrive you must mount hd first. [11:25] AkA access it [11:25] is there anyway of finding out what is causing an unclean shutdown to occur?

[11:27] scorpian: I'll go try safe graphics mode...what do you mean by ALternate CD though? [11:27] example "sudo mount media mount_point -t fs_type" [11:27] Tita1: For foreign filesystem like ntfs you occasionally need -o switch with then options specific to that filesystem [11:27] example you want to mount you sda1 drive with ntfs filesyste, [11:28] Would the command be something like mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt (mounting the drive at /mnt) [11:28] AcBush: hey check ubuntu page.The Alternate CD also allows more advanced installation options .. [11:28] FlyingWV: Generally, yes but with sudo. Also some options like users may be needed to allow regular users mount rights [11:28] genii: Gotcha [11:29] sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/win -t ntfs [11:29] so "sudo mount -t NTFS /dev/sdb /" [11:29] tital: ffs took me seconds to find https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [11:29] But what do I put for mountplace [11:29] its second release already and bugs same as in alpha or beta was, like keyboard layout switching not work, and firefox dissapear unexpectedly without even crash message. now tell me how reliable linux is... :/ [11:29] FlyingWV: It's the same . [11:29] Tita1: Do NOT mount things to / [11:29] just create new folder under /media drive. [11:29] Tita1: I repeat: Do NOT mount things to / [11:29] Tita1: try reading man mount :P [11:29] is there anyway to hide usplash at start? [11:30] I need to see what is causing the unclean shutdown [11:30] giantmidget you could not resit could you [11:30] dns53: i'm sorry, but he/she sorta could have started there... [11:30] rossm, i believe that would be 'nosplash' flag to a section of your menu.lst [11:30] thanks avis [11:31] what i dont like most is that my bug reports are ignored systematically... how this is called? commons-based peer-production? :/ [11:31] any idea why a SDHC card would not be being cleanly unmounted at shutdown on an EeePC? [11:31] giantmidget: thats a halarious Nick mate!! no offence if you actually are a midget! [11:31] jianfei: hope you're no midget-hater :P [11:31] lol [11:32] #jammaah [11:32] Well I read the Mount page, and I just dont get why as the palce I would pick "/mnt" [11:33] Tita1: for mountplace you can use any directory on the tree (preferible if its empty ;)) [11:33] Tita1: Also, do a sudo fdisk -l to determine which partition your NTFS is on [11:33] Tital: you can pick anyplace thats linux jus tat all the rest of devices are mounted there [11:34] Tita1: /mnt is just where people usually mount stuff [11:34] Tita1: historical convenction was to use a dir under /mnt/ on ubuntu /media/ is used as well [11:34] Well I think its " /dev/sdb5 " [11:35] Tita1: basically, you have a device (/dev/sdax) that you need to "link" to a directory (like /mnt/sdax) [11:35] hi all [11:36] So If my HD that I wnt to mount is sdb5 then " sudo mount /dev/sdb5 /mnt " [11:36] right? [11:36] Tita1: under fdisk -l the ID should be 7, and list as HPFS/NTFS [11:36] /dev/sdb5 930 10637 73392448+ 7 HPFS/NTFS [11:36] sudo mount /dev/sdb5 /mnt -t ntfs [11:36] I installed with synaptic took phpmyadmin suite, I tried to lok for it where my Apache's server html folder is (/var/www) but nothing was there. However I founf all the phpmyadmin tree under /user/share.. wtf¿? How can I access the too? [11:36] Tita1: you might want to do an ls /mnt first, to see if theres anything else there... [11:36] sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb5 /mnt [11:37] Or what rssy said [11:37] what "ls /mnt" [11:37] Tita1, very often sudo mount -t auto /dev/sdc1 /mnt will work too [11:37] That isnt doing anything [11:37] Tita1: Then there are no files there to list, mount away [11:37] Well i know this is NTFS [11:37] Tita1: ah, nevermind :P [11:38] can you check the content /mnt drive ? [11:38] "ls /mnt" [11:38] chakir: phpmyadmin uses an alias in the file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default which points to it's actual location [11:38] Tita1, /mnt is a directory that would let you gain access to the mounted device. after mounting /mnt becomes your mounted drive [11:38] hey [11:39] Can I post a LOOONG ass error from the terminal when I tired to mount? [11:39] i've been redirected here from #ubuntustudio [11:39] with ubuntu us there away to create a ISO/CD-Rom that will allow me to install Ubuntu will set configuration and also run some scripts once the install is done [11:39] I checked it with LS already [11:40] i have an issue with suspend that i was hoping someone might help me trouble shoot [11:40] It didnt do anything [11:40] So can I post the paragraph long error? [11:40] what kind of error did you got when you do mount command ? [11:40] !pastebin [11:40] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [11:40] Okay, here goes [11:40] What?

I'm used to work with phpmyadmin under XP,but under linux it's new for me [11:41] Sorry, little confuzed [11:41] tital: really? [11:41] onjour [11:41] Uhh...

[11:45] Im a DS modder [11:45] And you could try: ntfs-3g [11:45] actualy I have to do " sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb5 /mnt -o force " [11:45] yes [11:45] Nah i'm after a PSP modder. [11:45] I need the power of the sudo [11:45] =) [11:46] I got a "WARNING: Forced mount, reset $LogFile." [11:46] How do I do that? [11:46] so?

How do I downgrade my evolution 2.22.2 (Ubuntu 8.04) to evolution 2.2? [11:47] is it possible to share a disk that format is NTFS? [11:47] And how do I access my /mnt now that its mounted?

[11:48] Musli, i believe you'd use samba for sharing over the network. if you can mount the partition, you can share it [11:48] tital: and i almost punched a hole in my desk! [11:48] lol [11:48] lol [11:48] with ubuntu us there away to create a ISO/CD-Rom that will allow me to install Ubuntu will set configuration and also run some scripts once the install is done [11:49] hi all. after attempting to install ubuntu 8.04 on windows box it seems the dualboot option has destroyed my startup system, i cannot access windows or my files. any advice? (it says "A disk read error occurred") [11:49] Everyone one spells my name wrong its "Titan" not "Tital" or "Tita1" [11:49] lol [11:49] I get an error message like this when i try to share the ntfs disk folder 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot share path /media/disk-1/Villes TV Serier as we are restricted to only sharing directories we own. [11:49] Ask the administrator to add the line "usershare owner only = False" [11:49] to the [global] section of the smb.conf to allow this. [11:49] Tita1: your nick is "Tita1" - thats why people are addressing you as Tita1 [11:50] Tita1: yup. [11:50] ahoy. when I try to change my wireless devices settings using iwconfig, the settings never get applied to the device. There's no error, it just stays as if I had just plugged it in. My network devices are using ndisdrivers, and the ndiswrapper module is installed and running. Any suggestions? [11:50] hi all. after attempting to install ubuntu 8.04 on windows box it seems the dualboot option has destroyed my startup system, i cannot access windows or my files. any advice? (it says "A disk read error occurred") [11:51] neopsyche, i have heard of a super grub disk (iso) has a function that will restore the mbr, there is #windows for windows support this is for ubuntu related support [11:51] did u install grub loader? [11:51] right [11:51] avis: you don't need "super grub disk" [11:51] avis: the ubuntu install/live cd will allow you to re-install grub on to the mbr [11:52] neopsyche: Does sudo fdisk -l show a windows partition? [11:52] FlyingWV: it will show all partitions on your disk [11:52] wouldn't you have had to have backed up the former mbr? i believe he doesn't want grub ? [11:52] I don't really fully understand all the ins and outs of how the various music creating programs and stuff work yet... But I have a USB midi keyboard (Behringer), and I want to know - is there any software for Ubuntu Studio which will just allow me to plug the keyboard in and play it and have sound come out the speakers? I basically just want to be able to play it there on the spot for fun without having to record anyt [11:52] hing or go through all the technical stuff. Does such a program exist? [11:52] ikonia: I'm curioius if he accidently overwrote his windows partition when he installed [11:53] FlyingWV: I've just re-read what you typed, and I missunderstood what you where actually saying. [11:53] FlyingWV: i inserted 8.04 booted to live cd mode. chose install inside windows option. rebooted. got error A disk read error has occurred press ctrl alt del to reboot [11:53] FlyingWV: apologies [11:53] FlyingWV: ??? [11:53] suspend guru's ahoy, my problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25896/ [11:53] ikonia: quite alright [11:54] neopsyche: Can you open up a terminal and type sudo fdisk -l [11:54] FlyingWV: inside windows repair console it states: directory of C:\ An error occurred during directory enumeration [11:54] FlyingWV: i cannot since it will not boot === fdfdfd is now known as Cebolla [11:55] problem: When i started ubuntu today it booted in low graphic mode. Keyboard layout is also changed< Cant access the restricted drivers menu because it just doesnt start< Can anyone help ;e to solve this? [11:55] how do I downgrade my Evloution package in ubuntu 8.04 [11:55] Is possible to use fdisk from a live cd? haven't tried [11:55] FlyingWV: sure is [11:56] FlyingWV: Yes, certainly [11:56] neopsyche: So you should be able to load up the live cd, and go to the terminal, and try fdisk -l [11:56] FlyingWV: ok [11:56] neopsyche: well sudo fdisk -l [11:56] FlyingWV: thats what i was trying to do with the Windows CD [11:56] FlyingWV: what will that do? list my files? [11:57] neopsyche: It will list your hard drive partitions [11:57] problem: When i started ubuntu today it booted in low graphic mode. Keyboard layout is also changed< Cant access the restricted drivers menu because it just doesnt start< Can anyone help ;e to solve this? [11:57] FlyingWV: its rather disconcerting for new windows users who are interested in trying ubuntu for the first time to be greeted with 'A disk read error has occurred' and the only thing they can do is reboot. this gives ubuntu a VERY bad name amongst the average users who are not tech savvy. [11:58] added a nic to my ubuntu-804 vm and -- I now have eth1 & eth2 -- wanted eth0 & eth1 -- what's up? [11:58] neopsyche, it helps to understand what your doing, before you actually try. [11:59] problem: When i started ubuntu today it booted in low graphic mode. Keyboard layout is also changed< Cant access the restricted drivers menu because it just doesnt start< Can anyone help ;e to solve this? [11:59] avis: it helps. but for the average user on windows if they click on 'automatically install ubuntu to run alongside windows' then when they click it they expect it to 'automatically install ubuntu to run alongside windows' [11:59] neopsyche: Did you use wubi? I've no experience with that myself [11:59] avis: many users trying the live CD and killing their pc bootup cant be good for UBUNTU [12:00] neopsyche: ubuntu doesn't kill peoples's PC's, user error/not reading the information on screen does that [12:00] FlyingWV: i assume so, since i used the default installation option in the live cd for installing alongside windows, so if wubi is what that is then i suppose i did use it.. if it is not what it is then no. [12:00] most of the time the problem is between keyboard and chair .. [12:00] neopsyche: the default option in the livecd is not install along side windows [12:01] neopsyche: the default installation option is to use entire disk [12:01] neopsyche: that would wipe windows [12:01] rssy: which is why windows is the leader in easy to use operating systems worldwide ;-) [12:01] neopsyche: Which comes back to my fdisk querry, I'm afraid you may have erased your windows installation [12:01] neopsyche, your opinion is not shared by many people and that is offtopic this is for ubuntu support [12:02] franku: Mostly this happens when you have previously had some adapter then removed it. There is still a record which says make mac address of that adapter always be eth0 even if no longer exists. This is in the file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules so if you edit that file with admin rights and remove or comment out the eth0 line that assignment will be available again. You can then change where it has eth1 and eth2 to be the proper [12:02] sorry neopsyche like avis say this is not the place where you debate which OS is the best ... ;) [12:02] entries. Since in udev system you need a restart of the udev syste or else a complete reboot for this to have effect. [12:02] FlyingWV: if it gives the option to "install alongside" windows, why would it delete it.. and why would that be "my" fault.. if "i" selected the option to install "alongside" why would it "completely erase" instead of doing what it was supposed to in regard to installing "alongside" windows and if it has .then whose "fault" is that .. the programmer or the user? [12:03] neopsyche: it doesnt give you that option [12:03] neopsyche: I never alluded to blame, just my suspicion about what happened [12:03] neopsyche: if you boot off the install CD the default option is to use the entire disk [12:03] problem: When i started ubuntu today it booted in low graphic mode. Keyboard layout is also changed< Cant access the restricted drivers menu because it just doesnt start< Can anyone help ;e to solve this? [12:04] The assumption by the majority of the Linux community that users should know what they are doing is a major hinderance to adoption of operating systems such as Ubuntu by average users of Windows, I do hope canonical attempts to simplify the operating system in a flavour for average users in the future. [12:04] hey there, anyone has experience with NX servers? i cant get sound to work, i can only hear the login sound nothing else. Also, if someone is using firefox at the main box, i cant use it on the remote connection [12:04] neopsyche: this is nothing to do with ubuntu [12:04] neopsyche: the assumption is that the user can read the text on screen in their native language [12:04] neopsyche: nothing more - we can help you debug your issue, but ranting about ubuntu is not going to happen in this channel, that is not what this channel is here for [12:05] neopsyche: the potential to break other operating systems is the same while installing windows, or any other operating system [12:05] I installed samba but when I try to 'gksudo nautilus' it says: Initializing nautilus-share extension and doing nothing.... What should I do? [12:05] ikonia: there is an option to INSTALL ALONGSIDE WINDOWS A U T O M A T I C A L L Y .. A L O N G - S I D E .. AS IN .. W I T H WINDOWS .. D U A L B OOOO OOO T. ;-) [12:05] neopsyche: didi you ever try to install windows alongside other OS ? [12:05] Heh [12:07] <[\dan\]> dual booting ubuntu is pretty easy. i like the work that Linux Mint has done to make migration as easy as possible, it recognises windows partitiond and offers to import user names/passwords/settings/documents etc [12:07] anyone also had the problem that on a remote accesss firefox wont start if it is already being used by someone at the server box?

[12:07] [\dan\]: how is that anything to do with ubuntu ? [12:07] ? [12:08] I like how xchat cuts off the last letter or half letter in a line. quality programming at its finest. [12:08] it cut off finest in that line. [12:08] and e in that line :P [12:08] ScaryLptp: why are you telling the channel this ? [12:08] hmm.. ikonia. obvously you dont like what i said [12:09] ScaryLptp, your problem is likely not an xchat problem if you want xchat support there is #xchat [12:09] ignore #ubuntu joins parts quits [12:09] neopsyche: no, I didn't like the you flooded the channel, kept going off topic and used caps [12:09] because every time I try linux I'm hugely dissapointed in nearly every aspect :P [12:09] darn [12:09] dont mind ikonia, im boored and u just entertained me [12:09] but it proves a point. most linux people expect users to know what they are doing ;-) [12:09] <[\dan\]> ikonia: mint is a derivative of ubuntu, all im saying is that the work they've done takes any effort out of it and i would love to see it in the upstream installer, thats all. i dont use mint at the moment [12:09] ikonia: windows simply assumes people dont know what they are doing [12:09] neopsyche: why are you still going on about this, you have been asked to stop [12:09] ikonia: linux is extermely unfriendly to the average computer user [12:09] stop what . talking?

[12:49] XGas: I'm having quite a bit of difficulty transferring files to USB devices in Ubuntu, but not in WinXP which is how I came across this. [12:50] XGas: will do, but thanks for your time. [12:50] is there a search option for ghostview? [12:50] apinunt: I see, that makes it even more interesting. What did you formatted your flash storage with? [12:50] Vegombrei, Samba can be a bit of a turd to get working, let me pastebin my setup to help you out === _Ping_ is now known as Ping [12:51] Starnestommy: it says i already have samba .. but it doesnt show up in my applications .. [12:51] mechdave: thanks .. but i cant get my samba to run [12:51] Vegombrei: it's a server program so it's not a normal application [12:51] Vegombrei: it should be running from the background as soon as it's installed [12:51] I want to be able to use a WinFast PxPVR2200 TV tuner card in Hardy ( http://www.leadtek.com.tw/eng/tv_tuner/overview.asp?lineid=6&pronameid=351 ) ... I found this HCL here, but my card is not on this list. Am I looking in the right place? ( HCL at http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb?cmd=file;file=linux/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.tuner;filenode=-1;style=raw ) [12:52] oh ok [12:52] XGas: The Kingston is vfat (fat32), and the HDD's are ntfs [12:52] Vegombrei: you might need to do some configuration in /etc/samba/smb.conf before it works the way you need it to [12:52] Vegombrei, what happens if you run testparm? [12:52] sorry, will Ubuntu 7.10 64amd version work on intel core 2 duo ? [12:52] wangor: I think so [12:52] mechdave: ive never run that .. should i ? [12:52] @wangor: I don't know for certain, but I would think so. [12:52] Anybody here with working ALSA on Acer Aspire 6920 (8920)??? [12:52] Vegombrei: You could also look at post 5 here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=347019 to do it in native Apple networking fashion instead of Samba method [12:52] apinunt: Hmm, I don't know how to fix that for you. [12:53] ok, thanks [12:53] apinunt: Ask someone else. [12:53] Vegombrei, testparm is the checking program for Samba.conf [12:53] @wangor: technically all of today's hardware is 64-bit-capable. It's just whether the software uses it. [12:53] Hello all. Is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes up to date? [12:53] yeah, but the "amd" in the name of a download is a bit confising, but thanks for help [12:54] XGas: I'll keep looking, and thanks. Have to go pick up my son from school now, 7pm and the rain stopped. I'm in Thailand. [12:54] I downloaded ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-amd64 [12:54] mechdave: ok i just ran testparm .. says standalone [12:55] and Ubuntu Hashes just says ubuntu-8.04-desktop-amd64.iso (no ".1") [12:55] apinunt: Good day to you to. [12:55] :P [12:55] Vegombrei, check out http://paste.ubuntu.com/25911/ [12:55] and my MD5 sum starts "B78"... [12:55] Vegombrei, that is the output from my testparm [12:57] mechdave: oh .. so i should make mine the same is it ? [12:57] Vegombrei, not necessarily [12:57] Ñ= [12:57] :) [12:57] Vegombrei, hang on shall work up a basic one for you [12:57] vmware or virtualbox? [12:58] ? [12:58] mechdave: thanks [13:00] i have a problem. whenever i turn on my computer and open a video with VLC it wont let me play sound in any other program without restarting and vice versa...what do i do? [13:02] hi, i have a problem. Firefox interprets http://www.vägra.se/ as www.v%c3%a4gra.se instead of www.xn--vgra-loa.se (IDN-adresses). is this a known bug for hardy? [13:03] i have tried to read up on e2label....but i cant figure out, what is the point of labelling partitions? [13:05] Hey guys, does anyone know how to automatically create a text file containing the names of every file in a folder structure? [13:06] Baxtor: yes, the command for that is simply "find" [13:06] Baxtor: find . -name * > dir.txt [13:06] Ahh excellent, thanks :) [13:07] hi [13:08] hi guys [13:08] hi [13:08] i have a problem with my xubuntu [13:08] when i started up my laptop today i found that the Panels are disappeared!!!! [13:08] the main panel ( that have the Applications and Places ) and also the one in the bottom [13:08] but i remembered that yesterday i was missing with the keyboards, so is there any key(s) that makes the panels disappear???? [13:08] and how can i retrieve the panels? [13:09] rockyrock: PErhaps they may know more about your xubuntu issue in the channel #xubuntu [13:09] Vegombrei, try renaming /etc/samba/smb.conf to /etc/samba/smb.conf.old === Ping is now known as _Ping_ === _Ping_ is now known as __Ping__ [13:09] Vegombrei, then paste http://paste.ubuntu.com/25918/ into /etc/samba/smb.conf [13:10] Vegombrei, then restart samba /etc/init.d/samba restart [13:10] Vegombrei, first you must change the path to a real one :) [13:11] mechdave: dude i dont think ill be able to do that [13:12] mechdave: firstly how do i rename /etc/samba/smb.conf ? [13:12] Vegombrei, why is that? [13:12] mechdave: im new to ubuntu and linux bro [13:12] Vegombrei, right will step you through it [13:12] mechdave: thanks [13:13] Finland dudes? [13:13] Vegombrei, have you played with the terminal much yet? [13:13] mechdave: hey can i pvt msg ya ? [13:13] ubuntu rulex [13:13] rulez* [13:13] Vegombrei, sure [13:13] mechdave: yes ..ive learnt quite a lot ... using irssi too [13:13] Vegombrei: irssi rules :-) [13:14] plaaplaa [13:14] yeah [13:15] Hey ppl! [13:16] anybody happen to know of any good drm to mp3/mp4 converters for ubuntu? [13:17] <__Ping__> @xaustenx: You mean DRM removal tools? [13:18] xaustenx: there wouldnt be any drm convertors, drm is encrypted and the licenced player has the key, [13:18] AFAIK you cant [13:18] hi guys [13:18] hello [13:18] <__Ping__> @xaustenx: What koshari said. You have to do that on the system where you purchased the DRM'd tracks. [13:18] xaustenx what drm? [13:19] can anybody give me an rule for port forwarding: i need to forward port 5555 from ppp to lan 192.168.0.200:5555 [13:20] er, yes, that's what i meant [13:20] anyone have knowledge / experience with virtual server thingy, that enables one to have ubuntu running while beeing in vista/xp/whutever [13:20] Geminion: that's not a server [13:20] Geminion: try virtualbox [13:21] so the itunes files i had on my windows box.. i need to convert them on the windows box then transfer them over? [13:21] Geminion there are lots of options, i prefer vmware server, microsoft even makes a virtual machine [13:21] any iptables guru? :) [13:21] <__Ping__> @Geminion: You've got a couple of options there: you can virtualize (like with VMWare or something) or you can install with the new Windows-based installer, or try AndLinux. [13:21] vmware, that was the one i heard of [13:21] I've used vmware as well [13:22] ParanoyaM, please state your question [13:22] VirtualBox is faster than VMWare [13:22] Hi, whenever I start the screensaver config. something goes wrong and I get logged out :( same if the screensaver activates :( what can I do about this ? [13:22] gonna take it a long shot here, so TBOD: [13:22] Stephen`: i have 2 interfaces at my linux, ppp and eth0 i need to forward one port from ppp to eth0 ip [13:22] niza_ce === fReAkY[t] is now known as freaky[t] [13:23] VirtualBox might be faster, but it does not provide x86-64 extended support on "Guest" side [13:23] i installed win xp 32bit, and then vista ultimate 64 bit, but unfortunatley the bootfiles for my vista is on the xp drive, so i cant just clean that drive, since ill loose the boot function for my vista i think.. And my idea was to play in virtual space on vista a bit, untill im confident on the system, and then partitinize my 200 gb disk for it [13:23] habn,kkkkkk.................. [13:24] haiiiiiiii [13:24] what package do I need to unpack 7z files? [13:25] negge^: p7zip [13:25] Starnestommy: will it be integrated to Archive Manager or is it a separate program? [13:25] or do you run it from terminal? [13:25] negge^: I think the archive manager can work with p7zip [13:25] Hi, whenever I start the screensaver config. something goes wrong and I get logged out :( same if the screensaver activates :( what can I do about this ? [13:26] negge^: also have a look at peazip [13:26] When I SSH from ubuntu to suse and execute 'halt' command to shutdown suse computer, my ubuntu terminal gets locked (suse pc shuts down propertly thou). Is it just me or should I file the bug? [13:26] Stephen`: any ideas? [13:26] i cant set a label via e2label on logical partitions...is this to be expected? [13:27] ParanoyaM [13:27] what your doing it like proper simple [13:27] Stephen`: ? [13:27] have you googled ? [13:27] sure [13:27] i found this [13:27] Starnestommy: thanks, p7zip worked like a charm with Archive Manager [13:27] link me, and i will tell you the right bit to use if you want [13:27] oops. [13:27] wrong button [13:28] Stephen`: ok one moment [13:28] O.o [13:28] Stephen`: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/ipchains-port-forwarding-and-iptables-port-forwarding-287491/ [13:28] also, pate binnin your current ip tables is helpful [13:28] as the location of the new line is important [13:29] Stephen`: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 -d 192.168.1.10 --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 192.168.2.2:80 [13:29] When I SSH from ubuntu to suse and execute 'halt' command to shutdown suse computer, my ubuntu terminal gets locked (suse pc shuts down propertly thou). Is it just me or should I file the bug? [13:30] l [13:30] Stephen`: but i want not this way i dont't want to point ipadress of -i eth0 [13:31] in my case i think it should be iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i ppp0 --dport 5555 -j DNAT --to 192.168.0.201:5555 - is it correct? [13:31] try it [13:31] see if it breaks [13:32] i can test it from outside your network if you wish [13:33] when is says destination [13:33] its the destination on the packet [13:33] so -d still probably applys [13:33] as your external address === avc_afk is now known as acuster [13:34] Your line atm says ... [13:35] In the network address traslation section, look at packets (before we route them anywhere) coming in eth0 that have a desination port of 5555 and forward them to the internal address of 192.186.0.201 [13:36] no i need to forward from ppp0 not eth0 [13:36] yeah, yeah [13:36] typo [13:36] i ment ppp0 [13:37] what is ata2.00 in my dmesg? [13:37] something to do with your sata ? [13:38] RAdams: it has something to do with the ATA driver [13:38] ah, yeah, there's a log of it being configured for UDMA. [13:38] >.< [13:39] guys i want to ask u something. I have a very slow internet connection in my house, so it's a problem for my Ubuntu. But i got a good idea i hope that it works and i want to ask you if it will work. The idea is that i want to install ubuntu on an external hard drive and then i boot my desktop pc from it, but when i want to make an update for ubuntu i'll go to any internet caffee and boot my laptop from the external hard drive. Do u think that this id [13:39] ea will work? [13:39] rockyrock: it will work, but it does have issues [13:39] could i view my CF card in ubuntu server? if so how? [13:39] what are they? [13:39] rockyrock: the ubuntu boot loader uses a file on the ubuntu file system called "menu.lst" [13:39] contents [13:40] you need to force a new boot section n your drive [13:40] rockyrock: if you remove the disk with ubuntu on, the boot loader will not load and you won't be able to get at any os on the other disks [13:40] i have xubuntu on my laptop [13:40] rockyrock: that will cause that installation of ubuntu to become dependent on the hardware of the laptop. meaning that the xorg.conf, modules and other configurations on the desktop hard drive may not work at all with the laptop. [13:41] where can i find help for init scripts please? [13:41] RAdams, so how can i solve the problem of the slow internet connection!!!!!!!! [13:41] ubuntu can't live without internet! [13:41] rockyrock: is it a wirless internet connection ? [13:42] rockyrock: my isolated ubuntu server disagrees with you [13:42] no Dialup :( [13:42] rockyrock: you can't make a modem faster than 56k [13:42] ikonia: that's not what he's asking [13:43] RAdams: then I am missing the point [13:43] rockyrock: a better bet would be to grab the packages for the updates you need. try this: get the list of packages you have, then download the updated versions of those packages at the cafe. just get the packages on your laptop, don't install them. to get a list of the packages, do the first step in this factoid: [13:43] RAdams, correct! [13:43] !clone | rockyrock [13:43] rockyrock: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [13:43] rockyrock, i've done something like that once when i had no internet -- i took my harddrive out, plugged it into my friends PC, booted up, updated etc -- the only thing, is certain things like xorg didn't work [13:43] hi.i have a wireless intel proset wireless 3945abg and i am not sure whether it is configured and installed...can anyone help me in establishing whether it is working or not? [13:43] i am not able to mount a drive in my pc .it says perform chkdsk function [13:43] what's the easiest way to list which init scrips are currently running/should be running at the current runlevel/failed to run successfully? [13:43] rockyrock, so if you do run into any trouble, you should know what to do -- but it's definitely possible, yes [13:44] <_uniXrex_> Hey - I have a machine that I am working on that is running ubuntu server 7.04. I want to get the apache access logs /var/log/apache2/access.log . I need to posts the results of these logs on a forum. Here is the problem though - the server just has a command line, and I do not know how to get the file with the log information, so I can post it on the forums on my GNOME machine. Anyone know how I can do this? Thanks in advance [13:44] <__Ping__> donda: is the drive you're trying to mount an NTFS drive? [13:44] alsuren, ls /etc/rcX.d/S* # where X is your current runlevel [13:44] _uniXrex_, forums on your gnome machine?? like a website? [13:45] rockyrock: once you have that "my-packages" file with the list of packages installed on your machine, you can just download the updated .debs. You'll need to get the version of those in addition to just the package names. man dpkg to see what options you could get into a file. [13:45] RAdams, but i have xubuntu on my laptop, is it a problem? [13:45] rockyrock: no, because you'll only be getting the packages, not installing them. you'll end up with a pile of .debs [13:45] rockyrock, if your laptop can boot off an external harddrive -- and the harddrive has a bootloader that can boot the install on the external harddrive, it shouldn't be a problem [13:46] Hi i bought a new screen and ubuntu cant recognize its proper resolutions. How do i fix this? No other hardware has changed and everything else works. [13:46] __Ping__:ya it is of ntfs type [13:46] <_uniXrex_> Stephen`, Yes. I have two computers. One is the pure server ubuntu 7.04 (no GUI) and the other is an ubuntu 7.04 server installation with GNOME. I need to get the access log information from the 7.04 server with no GUI onto the 8.04 server w/GNOME so that i can post it on a support forum. I am having trouble with a journal engine that I was running.. [13:46] <__Ping__> donda: It may have errors in it then. Do you run Windows in a dual-boot? [13:47] RAdams, plz can i pm u cuz i can't concentratewith all people writing! [13:47] could i view my CF card in ubuntu server? if so how? [13:47] in /media i only got cdrom [13:47] wasn't there a way to run windows applitations in an virtualized environment and still have them seamlessly integrated into the linux desktop? Like not having a window for the whole windows installation but have one window for each started app? And no, it wasn't wine [13:47] rockyrock: use the main channel please. make sure whatever client you have makes a sound when your name appears. this is usually called "highlighting" [13:48] __Ping__:i previously i had mounted the drive but my pc restarted and now i am unable to mount it [13:48] wereHamster: virtualbox "seamless" mode. Only available in the non-ose if i remember correctly [13:48] Use seamless rdp for seamless connectivity to windows [13:48] <__Ping__> donda: ah. That would be a problem. I recommend booting into Windows, doing a safe shutdown, and booting back into Linux [13:48] kann mir jemnd mit wine helfen? [13:48] <__Ping__> donda: that's the simplest solution. Usually works for me. [13:48] rockyrock, does your linux installation (the one you are running of the external harddrive) have a connection to the internet? [13:49] __Ping__: ok [13:49] !german > lars_ [13:49] lars_, please see my private message [13:49] how can i change my refresh rate ?

[13:52] wereHamster: correct [13:53] rockyrock, does your external harddrive have grub installed on it? in other words, when you boot up this install, do you set the BIOS to boot directly off of the external harddrive? [13:53] I managed to install proftpd-1.3.1 in ubuntu but its not showing anywhre [13:54] <__Ping__> judgen: you may have to manually specify the resolution in your xorg.conf [13:54] x3__ /etc/init.d/proftpd start [13:54] 8.04.1 super !!! cool !

Sorry boss. === cherry_fressssss is now known as dita_kecepian [13:57] did someone seriously get banned earlier for saying linux isn't easy at all for the average person? [13:58] rockyrock, well, you need to get apt to generate a list of URLs for you then. if you have a package to be updated. run this command to generate that list. apt-get install --print-uris package_name [13:58] I've tried to install 2 apps so far and they don't work. [13:58] please i need help [13:58] ./configure, make, make install, doesn't even get past ,/configure [13:58] fails at a c compiler part [13:58] ScaryLptp: sudo apt-get install build-essential [13:59] ScaryLptp don't run make or make install if configure fails [13:59] ScaryLptp, First off, did you try Add/Remove programs or Synaptic? Second off you need build-essential [13:59] ScaryLptp: what package are you trying to build ? [13:59] unop, please man tell me step by step what i have to do on my desktop and i have to do on my laptop. I have ubuntu 8.04 on my Desktop and xubuntu 8.04 on my laptop [13:59] airsnort [13:59] is there a deb package for gparted o.3.7 [13:59] rockyrock: try this: on your desktop, connect it to the dial-up internet and open synaptic. Select "Reload", then "Mark all Upgrades". Then go to File menu --> Generate Package Download Script. Save that script to your laptop, then from the cafe, run that script (if you save it to your desktop, you would type in terminal: cd ~/Desktop && sudo chmod +x nameofscript.sh && sh nameofscript.sh). This will start downloading all the packages you need to [13:59] gkeeps doing my nu in and dont work [14:00] ScaryLptp: what do you actually want to do ? snort will work on wirles devices ? [14:00] after removing a usb memory stick without unmounting it, there is a file still open. how can i blat it? i've tried sudo killall -9 [pid] and similar [14:00] well, I wanted something like netstumbler and everything on the web says to use airsnort [14:00] and it's not in the supository [14:00] :P [14:01] ScaryLptp: ooh netstumbler, never heard of that, one moment.

Did you install build-essential? Open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install build-essential" [14:02] ScaryLptp: if you're running Gnome, you have it. [14:02] bob, I just did that [14:02] ScaryLptp: waht functionality do you actually want ? [14:02] and I did ./configure again and it got part way through and failed at a GTK+-2.0 thing [14:02] Hi [14:02] ScaryLptp: waht functionality do you actually want ? [14:02] unop, sup dude?

[14:04] ScaryLptp: you can browse wifi hotspots in the area with ubuntu now [14:04] then the socket packet pcoket has an error to report [14:04] HAHA [14:04] lenswipe: Thats nice, perhaps you'll want to share it with #ubuntu-offtopic [14:04] ScaryLptp, In general they do work.

I need to posts the results of these logs on a forum. Here is the problem though - the server just has a command line, and I do not know how to get the file with the log information, so I can post it on the forums on my GNOME machine. Anyone know how I can do this? Thanks in advance [14:05] how do i use airsnort with my built in card? [14:05] gparted packages are outdated [14:05] is it even possiblyt? [14:06] need latest [14:06] most apckages are outdated and cause instability [14:06] _uniXrex_, download linx <3 [14:06] x3__: in what situation do they cause instability ? [14:06] wedc [14:06] <_uniXrex_> Wolphie, what do you mean? [14:06] hi [14:06] hm psaikido I write all code by hand, I want only a syntaxhighlighter such as good as in kate... :) [14:06] hang [14:06] I'm having some trouble with a new USB Wifi adapter. (D-Link DWL-G122, rev.C). I plug it in and it seems to work fine. I can select my wireless router and put in my key and it connects to the net. However a couple of seconds later it generally just cuts out. If I keep unplugging/plugging it generally works after a while, but am sometimes needing to unplug/plug like 15 times to stop it dropping out. Anyone got any ideas? [14:06] _uniXrex_, linx is a text based browser [14:07] sometimes have to force app closed [14:07] abchirk: bluefish is good for that [14:07] <_uniXrex_> Wolphie, oh...read that wrong, I though you said download linux [14:07] ok I try [14:07] every time i turn on my comp and log in the screen goes all white, it works when set to no visual effects but I dunno why it suddenly started doing this... any ideas? [14:07] <_uniXrex_> do I download it on the non-GUI machine? [14:07] abchirk, I prefer gEdit to kate, gEdit can be changed into an IDE [14:07] _uniXrex_: use pastebinit [14:07] m1dn1ght: use WiCD instead of network manager [14:07] how do i use a normal wifi card with airsnort? [14:07] <`Matir> m1dn1ght, after you get disconnected, run 'dmesg' in a console and see if it shows any errors [14:07] !info pastebinit | _uniXrex_ [14:07] _unixrex_: pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client.

[14:08] lenswipe: built in is the same as non-built in [14:08] psaikido: use kill -9 instead of just kill [14:08] Toznoshio - sorry that means nothing to me. Is that a package I need to download? [14:08] <_uniXrex_> ubottu, so I do pastebinit /var/log/apache2 ? [14:08] _uniXrex_: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:08] ikonia: so it will work then? [14:08] !wicd | m1dn1ght [14:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about wicd [14:09] Toznoshio: yes i tried kill -9, pkill, killall -9 but the file remains!

It can only tell you no [14:09] x3__: what other packages do you want to update [14:09] yes old 0.3.5 [14:09] x3__: but you've said you updated it, so what else do you want to update ?

[14:11] x3__: check your /etc/fstab file against the contents of /dev/disk/by-uuid [14:12] budding little hackers out there i see [14:12] thanks ikonia, I thought maybe someone could recommend. they got allot of themes there [14:12] what does fstab to?

[14:13] how do you get sound in tvtime? [14:13] can you tell me how to install rpm? [14:13] x3__: I think your going to make your machine unusuable by swapping things like that, the ubuntu versions are compiled together for tried and tested reasons [14:13] lenswipe : dpkg -i [14:13] Stephen: what do u mean? [14:13] ylhaoran: rpm's are not aimed at ubuntu systems [14:13] anyone know of a good channel to get ubuntu + apache help ? [14:13] Stephen: about the cc details not the dpkg [14:13] schnootop: ask [14:13] schnootop, this one ??

[14:14] lenswipe, it was jokes === GPT is now known as GPL [14:14] ikonia that may be but I have loads of issues withb sone installed components [14:14] Stephen: i know but i doesnt get it O_o [14:14] x3__: well, that maybe something we could have helped fix/progress [14:14] sorry i have enabled a virtual host and now whenever i access http://localhost/ its showing that virtual host [14:14] lenswipe, about the hacking sujestion... [14:14] x3__: but if your blindly updating your system it's going to be hard to support [14:14] airsnort is erm.. [14:14] Stephen: i know what it was related to but what are CC details? [14:14] instead of http://localhost itself, and ive checked and the default is enabled [14:14] not exactly your standard prof [14:14] *prog [14:15] rockyrock, you there? [14:15] every time I come in for trying to get issues sorted I end up same place [14:15] yes i'm [14:15] waiting... [14:15] hi [14:15] rockyrock, have a look at this here .. http://pastebin.com/d19c324c1 [14:15] schnootop, apache defaults back the the default page if a vhost doesn't work [14:15] StephenL it wont dpkg... [14:15] in fact Im getting so frustrated Im cosidering dumping ubuntu [14:16] Stephen: it just says the directoy was not found.... [14:16] all I get form it is grief [14:16] :( [14:16] lenswipe, the is the location of that package [14:16] i know [14:16] ie, /tmp/package.deb [14:16] Stephen`: its not going to default at all. instead of going to localhost its going to a whole different virtual host. IE. http://localhost/ points to http://mysite.com/ [14:16] Stephen: i cded to the desktop [14:16] which is where the package is [14:16] <__Ping__> x3__: hey, man, relax. Just sudo apt-get install gparted [14:16] Stephen: and it still wouldnt do it :( [14:17] schnootop, you know what localhost is right ? [14:17] question is is thee a repository with all updates for ubuntu that superseed the existing versions of programs installed or no? [14:17] my thought, without looking at your config [14:17] unop, i'm reading [14:17] is that you don't have a 'default' site [14:17] yes. but with all the other systems i worked with localhost will show /var/www/index.php even if there are virtual hosts enabled [14:17] so it jumps to your vhost you just made [14:18] is this not the case with ubuntu ? [14:18] also, if your vhost is set as localip:90 [14:18] Stephen: now its doing it cos i put .deb on the end but its not actually installing it, its just stuck at reading database..... [14:18] *80 [14:18] Ping I get the buggy version if sudo apt-get install gparted I get 0.3.5 [14:18] localhost isn;'t going to work [14:18] as its 127.0.0.1 [14:18] Stephen: nvm its done it tyvm [14:18] trhats is borking my system [14:18] its hard because i cant seem to access phpmyadmin now due to http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ pointing to http://mysite/ [14:18] not 192.168.1.2 you get me? [14:18] <__Ping__> x3___: What's wrong with that version? I'm not familiar with the bugs [14:18] I need 0.3.7 to see if it works but (I dontr wnat live cd) [14:19] schnootop, stop using locahost, its just going to get annoying [14:19] use http://127.0.0.1 [14:19] and see where that points [14:19] unop, thnx man so much i'll apply what you've tought me. [14:19] <__Ping__> x3__: what's not working with 0.3.5 [14:19] then use http:// [14:19] and see if thats different [14:19] rockyrock, the idea is you get the desktop to tell you what updates it needs, then you generate a list of URLs to .deb package -- copy that list to another machine and use something like wget to download the .deb files from the URLs -- then copy the downloaded .deb files back to the machine and install them [14:19] check your apache access logs at the same time [14:20] rockyrock, yw, I hope you understood what the instructions do [14:20] incorrectly recognized move/resizes [14:20] ya des francais ? [14:20] unop, yes i did man thanx so so much [14:20] amongst others [14:20] Stephen`: http://127.0.0.1/ does the same thing :\ [14:20] airsnort wont work for me... [14:20] <__Ping__> x3__: Ah.

[14:25] any domain you use requires it to point to your ip, so use your hosts file for a quick hack up === ce_credit_card is now known as ce_cr_tmn [14:25] mmm then in that case they a bit behinfd still [14:25] lenswipe, iwconfig is the wireless card config program [14:25] Pici: ok thanks and do you know how to log in as root to install somehting [14:25] Stephen`: what exactly is wrong with that. Ive always used that, and what should it be instead ? [14:25] hi folks, can someone help me with a wget problem... === ce_cr_tmn is now known as Ce_cr_tmn [14:25] gam3r111: use sudo [14:25] x3__: ubuntu isn't bleeding edge [14:25] or leemme triple million check settings [14:25] x3__: trying to balance stability / latest [14:26] [14:26] Hello , I need help please , on the mozilla browser there is option to save webpage with all the sources (such as javescript , photos , etc.) does wget have the same option ? [14:26] Pici: well i need to do this 1. Download AIM onto your system. 2. Log in as root. 3. On the command line, type the dpkg command as shown in the example: dpkg -i aim_1.5.286-1_i386.deb where 1.5.286-1 represents the AIM version and release numbers. 4. To run AIM, log in as a regular user, and type "/usr/bin/aim" on the command line. [14:26] Any microphone experts in here? [14:26] I'm trying to grab a certain type of file from a website but wget insists on downloading everything then deleting what I dont need... can I stop it downloading everything except the files I want ??? [14:26] the * makes it be used for anything thats pushed to your apache, hence why you couldn't see your apache install anymore [14:26] x3__: We aren't a rolling release distro, once a release is made, for the most part packages stay at the same version. [14:26] kate_mins, use the man page for wget [14:26] gam3r111: sudo -i will 'log you in as root' [14:26] Pici: can you put that in esaier terms [14:26] kate_mins, that will give you all the options for wget [14:27] mechdave: i already did man wget , i cant find [14:27] gam3r111: type sudo -i on a terminal [14:27] I can no longer record any audio, i used to be able to use my mic, does anyone know where i can fix that? Ive unmuted it in the volume control but the damn thing still doesnt work [14:27] why? [14:27] kate_mins wget --help [14:27] gam3r111: then, poof, that terminal is effectively logged in as root [14:28] gman: in preferences -> multimedia system selector, change default input to OSS and that'll get it working [14:28] hey folks, I need to upgrade to subversion 1.5 -- is there an apt-get command to install all the dependencies for subversion that's in the repo (1.4.6) so that the 1.5 build might go much more smoothly? [14:28] Pici in that case m stuck with all the bugs [14:28] Gman9999: me [14:28] Gman9999: well im an audiophile, perhaps i can answer the question... [14:29] might as well use windows if thats the alternative and I rather chop my test nuts off [14:29] * s0| needs help: DMraid is not seeing my raid0+1 set correctly, it is seeing a 4 disk mirror. anyone know how to fix this? [14:29] i could maybe help... [14:29] windows is never an alternative [14:29] never! [14:29] <_uniXrex_> Wolphie, hey - pastebinit worked great. It uploads it to some server. Cool! [14:29] s0|: fake raid is a real pain technology in linux [14:29] s0|: in my personal opinion a very weak technology in linux [14:29] pip pip purreeee! [14:29] another OS [14:30] Stephen`: does that mean NameVirtualHost *:80 is wrong ? [14:30] Da_Putzler is that in the volume control preferences? [14:30] schnootop [14:30] one more time [14:30] you have a set a line [14:30] gman: no, goto system -> preferences -> multimedia systems selector [14:30] that makes apache pick up anything that sent to it, to go to that vhost config [14:30] anyone good with WGET... need some advice [14:30] !enter | not [14:30] not: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [14:30] you have made, a default [14:31] make another set of rules underneath you lines [14:31] for mysite.com [14:31] what type of help Da_Putzler [14:31] I wanna grab all JPG's from a site using WGET, but it downloads everything and deletes non-JPG's, it's taking forever [14:31] Da_Putzler I dont have that selection [14:31] ikonia, I know it sucks bad - but short of dropping 400 bucks, this is what I plan on using, unless someone can tell me how in the heck to get linux software raid to do a 0+1/10 raid from the ubuntu installer and not ****uk up and not be able to boot [14:31] and change your current rules for your default to point to /var/www/ [14:31] Toznoshio: i have wireshark, but it aint workin :( [14:31] thus, you get your vhost, and phpmyadmin back [14:31] yes Stephen` i changed it to but it still does the same thing and i get some warnings now on reload and restart [14:32] s0|: well what you can do is install to a single disk - then build a software raid array and copy it on [14:32] n [14:32] s0|: then add the single disk to it === cherry_fressssss is now known as Cr_nsbh_credit_c [14:32] unless bmob.mysite is the url you put in your broswer [14:32] thats not going to help you [14:32] ikonia, can make a degarded array as far as I know [14:32] *can't [14:32] s0|: ooh, why not ? [14:32] and the errors you get on reload are probably helpful [14:32] s0|: I've done that many times [14:32] seisen: am trying to download JPG's from a site, but wget insists on downloading everything, then deleting non-JPG's, so it is taking forever since most of the htm files are huge [14:33] s0|: I'm talking linux software raid, not dmraid [14:33] Anyone know how to extract a .exe file [14:33] ParkerW: you can't its a windows executable [14:33] yehey! has anybody here successfull installed mulitple ircd in their server? [14:33] Parker: use 7-zip in wine, that'll extract it for you [14:33] kate_mins, wget will download the source of the page and with the recursive switch (-r) it will download the whole site in source [14:33] ParkerW, try cabextract, or just unzip it. or run it with wine. [14:33] That's it. Cabextract [14:33] ozz_: as in infrared, or irc [14:33] Do you know how to run cabextract? [14:33] IF you do can you PM me? [14:34] airsnort or wireshark help needed please... [14:34] ParkerW: cabextract is not an executable extractor [14:34] lenswipe: what's up [14:34] ikonia, I would be fine with linux software raid if I find a bloody guide that was decent not one that says "it just works click here".... I haven't the foggest on how to get it to do striping accross two raid1 volumes. the suck part of this is the DMraid acutall will see raid 0 or raid 5 correctly just not raid0+1 [14:34] infrared? i mean any ircd deamon [14:34] s0|: if you want to do the software raid - I'll help you [14:34] Toznoshio - I'm afraid installing wicd didn't help. [14:34] ozz_: you should only run 1, as in one binds to one port/address, [14:35] ikonia, I would be in your debt, but I will have to fire up another system and brb [14:35] so its not possible to run two or 3? [14:35] s0|: thats fine [14:35] ikonia: neither of them will work with my wireless card... [14:35] ozz_: not binding to the same interface/ports [14:35] lenswipe: what happens ? [14:35] oic [14:35] thats you just answered my question [14:35] thats it* [14:36] ikonia, which installer image should I use (desktop, server, or alternate)? [14:36] ikonia: well airsnort says that my wireless card needs to be in promiscuous mode which i have no idea how to do [14:36] Da_Putzler ok I found it under sound preferences audio conferencing I changed the sound capture to OSS and now when i attempt to record i get this plain annoying ringing with absolutlely no input from my microphones [14:36] lenswipe: use sudo [14:36] s0|: what is the purpose of your machine ? [14:36] thanks ikonia... i've been asking this since yesterday [14:36] ozz_: no problem [14:37] cabextract can be ran using the terminal. I have used it before. Just didn't remember what it was called. [14:37] ParkerW: an exe is not normally a cab though [14:37] ikonia, well it will need x, but it's primary job is to host VMs [14:37] how do i run aim [14:37] `Matir - the dmesg output after the wifi disconnect is: http://pastebin.com/m1934dd3 - Hopefully that helps [14:37] i installed it but how do i run it [14:37] s0|: Hmmm, what video card do you have ? [14:37] nvidia [14:38] 8500GT [14:38] s0|: and you don't want to do any fancy graphics, like compiz or anything ? [14:38] would be cool/nice to have... [14:38] s0|: is it important ? [14:38] lenswipe your an audiophile? [14:38] s0|: just working out best angle to come from [14:39] getting the raid working is by far more imporntant. it does need X working tho since VMware Server will not run without a working X [14:39] s0|: any wirless networking ? [14:39] lenswipe would you know how to get a microphone working again in hardy heron? it was working before then one day it just stopped and now i cant record [14:39] ikonia, wired intel onboard [14:40] s0|: ok - what I'd suggest you do in that case is use the server cd. The best thing is, the Server CD will allow you to setup software raid from the installer, so you don't have to do the degraded array [14:40] i added 3 cifs mount points to my /etc/fstab, the problem is that when i restart my server the CIFS holds the reboot for like 5 minutes complaining that the server is not responding. it tries to unmount after the network card was disabled because of the reboot command. is there a way to fix this ? [14:40] IIRC the alternate does allow this as well. [14:40] s0|: don't know about that, but the server image would probably be a good move [14:40] s0|: how much ram ? [14:40] anyone there connected to msn via pidgin? [14:40] 8gb [14:40] ruffleS: yup [14:40] s0|: server image %100 [14:41] s0|: I assume your using 64bit [14:41] ikonia, i can't go online here. :S [14:41] ruffleS: I'm fine [14:41] you assume correctly [14:41] I want to be able to use a WinFast PxPVR2200 TV tuner card in Hardy ( http://www.leadtek.com.tw/eng/tv_tuner/overview.asp?lineid=6&pronameid=351 ) ... I found this HCL here, but my card is not on this list. Am I looking in the right place? ( HCL at http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb?cmd=file;file=linux/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.tuner;filenode=-1;style=raw ) [14:41] s0|: ok, server image would suite you well [14:41] lenswipe ok i got my microphone working, do you know how to get that annoying hum out of the recording now? [14:41] ikonia, what version are you using please? [14:41] firefox 3 quits suddenly after playing one or more youtube videos??? [14:41] s0|: large memsupport, prempt support, etc etc, the only downside would be the nvidia closed source drivers not being managable through ubuntu [14:41] ne help [14:41] ? [14:41] Anyone know how to get an annoying high pitched ring while recording with audacity? [14:41] ruffleS: ubuntu's current [14:42] ok a bug is opened regarding the subject [14:42] ikonia, hardy heron? [14:42] plez can some 1 help me [14:42] `Matir - the dmesg output after the wifi disconnect is: http://pastebin.com/m1934dd3 - Hopefully that helps (am using wired connection now) [14:42] ikonia, FWIW, the nv opensource drivers will not work for shit on this card [14:43] been down that road a few dozen times.... [14:43] s0|: careful on the language, but it's great that you can use NV [14:44] Hey hey. [14:44] Anyone know why firefox 3 is printing blank pages to cups-pdf, but firefox 2 does not? [14:44] sorry about the languague. I can't use NV. we can try agian, but I will warn you it has failed about 15 times for all the people at the local linux group (CLUE) [14:44] s0|: ahh you can't use it, sorry [14:44] s0|: tried vesa ? [14:44] also fails [14:45] s0|: you can use the nvidia drivers, just not through the restricted driver manager (not available on the server kernels) [14:45] I can norally get the closed soruced drivers installed [14:45] s0|: thats a good thing then, you sound pretty set to go [14:45] I don't have a probelm with that, never had to before w/ ubuntu, but plenty with debian [14:46] great [14:46] ikonia, yeah just getting an iRC client on a laptop so I can talk while I try the isntall [14:46] ok [14:47] ok I am on laptop now.... am going to boot into the install in just a sec. [14:48] anybody here used xdg-desktop-menu before? [14:48] firefox 3 quits suddenly after playing one or more youtube videos?? ne helpp plz? [14:49] sorry, i've installed ubuntu without internet connection, now when I type apt-get update It tells me, there is nothing to update. What can I do to make him see internet updates ? [14:49] i need help related to this tutorial http://extjs.com/learn/Tutorial:Using_Django_Poll_Tutorial_with_Ext#Repository [14:50] stach: sorry was just away from desk [14:50] oops [14:50] s0|2: sorry, was just away from desk [14:50] ikonia, I am the part where I partition disks [14:50] s0|2: so how do you want to do this [14:50] s0|2: explain what you want [14:51] guys more power to ubunto very powerful software! [14:51] ikonia, raid 0+1 or 10 (w/ 4 disks it makes little diff to me), boot from the raid.... that is all I really need help with at this point [14:52] How can I fix this: W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used.GPG error: http://ubuntu.ynet.sk hardy Release: The following signatures were invalid: NODATA 1 NODATA 2 [14:52] it's official ubuntu repo [14:52] ikonia, linux software raid is what I assume we are using. [14:52] s0|2: do you want my opinion on layout or are you set firm on your laout [14:52] s0|2: correct, linux software raid [14:52] ikonia, what layout are you going to suggest? [14:53] s0|2: well, I've got a few options for you depending on your needs [14:53] s0|2: are all the disks the same size ? [14:53] yes, they are all matched es.2 250GB disks [14:53] s0|2: thats good [14:53] is there a log file that has what the boot ouput on f8 has? [14:53] s0|2: from what I'm hearing this is a vm host pretty much ? [14:53] ikonia, I am kind of set on either 10 or 0+1 [14:54] s0|2: lets talk it through for a minute, if your still set - no problem [14:54] s0|2: easier to do it right first time than change it [14:54] ikonia, ok mostly VM host. maybe putting a postgres server on the host as well as opposed to a vm [14:54] wangor: Go to System->Administration->Software Sources and enable there Internet repositories. [14:55] s0|2: perfect, thats a reasonable picture [14:55] does anyone know where to have more panel applets? [14:55] s0|2: is the server going to be classed as "important" or production worthy ? [14:55] ikonia, personal running at home for me to play with. [14:55] s0|2: ok so not a big deal [14:56] ikonia, yeah if it went up in flames i would be angry but would not cost me job or anything. [14:56] After apt-get update I see: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25938/ [14:56] How can I fix this>? [14:57] zimnyx, as it says run apt-get update === Servar100 is now known as Servarium [14:58] mechdave: I can read. it will be the same output again and again. [14:58] s0|2: ok cool, so my personal opinion would be to use a single disk for a boot disk, that way it makes booting simple and easy to manage. It can also improve your performance. then make a raid 5 stripe out of the other 3 disks, put that into lvm and make a logical volume for /home then volumes for your other stuff such as vm hosts, that why you have a bit of resilience, solid performance, good use of space and some flexability with lvm [14:58] <[Michelangelo]> Hi all [14:58] zimnyx, interseting [14:58] i need linux guru to kill my wife!.. oops... i mean to show me how to enable "reduced blanking" for my nvidia card... [14:58] zimnyx, oops interesting [14:58] <[Michelangelo]> I need some help to configure the audio, can anybody help me? I have installed the Ubuntu 8.04 [14:59] <[Michelangelo]> I have update all repositories [14:59] and no sound? [14:59] <[Michelangelo]> and now the audio is fragmented [14:59] <[Michelangelo]> xel_ hi [14:59] s0|2: any comment/feedback ? [14:59] zimnyx, has this happened before? [14:59] <[Michelangelo]> xel_ I can hear only the bip at libitum [14:59] i have a problem. whenever i turn on my computer and open a video with VLC it wont let me play sound in any other program without restarting and vice versa...what do i do? [15:00] <[Michelangelo]> xel_ any idea? [15:00] Michaelangelo, Hello! Did you have fragmented sound on the livecd? (Pre-Install) [15:00] is there a channel for ubuntu-mid? [15:00] ikonia, I am feeling what you are saying, but I would rather boot from the raid If possible. === fdfdfd is now known as Mandarina [15:00] <[Michelangelo]> xel_, no [15:00] <[Michelangelo]> xel_ I have heard the MP3 and Video files perfectly [15:01] s0|2: totally possible, it just adds a layer of complexity due to grub needing to be "raid aware" before the system has even booted [15:01] s0|2: let me check a quick bit of info on grub for supported raid levels first [15:01] <[Michelangelo]> xel_ now there is some problem in the drivers or something else [15:01] Is there a gui-based grub configuration tool? [15:01] ikonia, ok I _really_ do apprechate the help [15:01] <-- Feisty [15:01] s0|2: not a problem [15:01] Michelangelo, Interesting Im not a "pro" lol but I have some ideas! under system> preferences > Sound .... [15:02] <[Michelangelo]> ikonia H ikonia [15:02] <[Michelangelo]> xel_ yes [15:02] Hmm, for some reason im only able to set volume to 100% or 0%. Adjusting it doesnt work, the slider in kmix can't really be moved like it should - it jumps right to 100% or 0% if i try to set it at for example 50%. Any ideas? [15:02] Michelangelo, this is where I believe or at least it looks like you can make some changes on how audio is handled [15:02] s0|2: ok as I thought, raid 10 is no good for booting, so you'll have to create a seperate /boot partition [15:02] Firefishe, http://grubconf.sourceforge.net/ [15:02] <[Michelangelo]> xel_ yes I have already tested it [15:02] how do i get icons from iconator onto pidgin [15:03] <[Michelangelo]> other ideas? [15:03] mechdave: It's been deprecated, I thought. Isn't there a plugin for the gnome-control-center? [15:03] Michelangelo, Now I understand every system is different but you do know that it worked great under the livecd you could see what the settings are on the livecd and try to match them on your HDD install. [15:03] ikonia, that seems odd and wrong. [15:03] s0|2: expand [15:03] Firefishe, dunno, I just did a google for it... [15:03] <[Michelangelo]> ikonia, can you help us please? [15:04] s0|2: it's basiclly because of the stripe [15:04] Can anyone help with a D-link G122 USB Wifi adapter? Keeps dropping connection and deactivating the dongle after connecting. Output of dmesg after disconnect is: http://pastebin.com/m1934dd3 [15:04] [Michelangelo]: not at the moment sorry, I'm in the middle of something a little indepth [15:04] ikonia, I am not saying your wrong, just doing that would feel wrong. would ruin the symetry of the whole thing [15:04] !sound [15:04] 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 [15:04] <[Michelangelo]> ikonia, ok I'll wait [15:04] <[Michelangelo]> :) [15:04] s0|2: ahh I see what you mean [15:04] ciao sandrone vi saluta [15:04] Michelangelo, Although I fear the live cd might have auto detect set for default. which isnt going to help you Also Ubottu just posted some suggestions [15:04] Firefishe, it says gnome-system-tools [15:05] <[Michelangelo]> xel_ thanks [15:05] s0|2: yes, it is a little "untidy" most people keep their boot and data partition/disks seperate though so it normally doesn't look untidy [15:05] !list [15:05] 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 [15:05] ikonia, which brings me back to wishing that dmraid would work with raid0+1 and not just raid 0,1,5 [15:05] s0|2: for example I use 2 disks mirrored for my boot disks, then another 8 disks for my data [15:05] when ur copy of nthe floppf is getting sloppy on the disc... [15:05] ok ok im acapito non speak italian [15:05] s0|2: you will probably have that same issue with grub with dmraid [15:05] ciao sandrone vi risaluta ed esca grazie [15:06] ? [15:06] ikonia, this box doesn't have that luxuary, the other ones does but not this one.... no idea if I would have the same problem but windows sure plays nice with it [15:06] ikonia, at most this box has 5 disks, the other box in the room has 15 [15:06] s0|2: windows works differently though, as I'm sure you know. The drivers for windows work different [15:07] Hi all. [15:07] s0|2: I'd really suggest a single disk and raid 5 or raid 10 array on the other 3 [15:07] !whois AaronH [15:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about whois aaronh [15:07] mechdave: no, just this time. How can I recreate/empty files with GPGs ? [15:07] I mean apt files [15:07] s0|2: it will make things much easier to manage [15:08] /msg ubottu etiquette [15:08] ikonia, how much am I burnning for the boot partition? [15:08] s0|2: 200 meg ? [15:08] When i try to run 'alsamixer' i get this error: alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: No such file or directory - any hints? [15:09] I'm trying to install World of Warcrafts Burning Crusade. I got Wow installed fine and it worked. Now I try Burning Crusade and I get error 108. Anyone know about ERROR 108? [15:09] ikonia, if I drop a real hardware raid card in the box will I have the same grub issue? [15:09] s0|2: as that will be hardware raid and be presented as a single disk - so grub will just see a normal disk [15:10] zimnyx, sorry, beyond my knowledge. You could maybe start at the man page for apt-get [15:10] how to install vlc [15:10] sandy__, sudo apt-get install vlc ? [15:10] ikonia, so basically If I really want it work the way I want it to I am going to need do drop some moneies [15:10] Ughh... Why does linux have to be so difficult.... [15:11] Tita1, good question buddy lol [15:11] s0|2: my personal opinion - yes, you could fight with dmraid, but I suspect it will work for $X time and fail on a regular basis [15:11] Tita1, why is that? [15:11] I like linux and all, but im starting to miss windows, linux is so complicated, I cant even run WoW [15:11] s0|2: plus I /think/ you'll have the same grub issues any way [15:11] s0|2: although I'm not %100 certain on that [15:11] sandy__ - go to Applications > Add/Remove. Make sure you select "All open source applications" at the top then search for vlc. Should be right there. [15:11] Tita1, LOL, it is a steep learning curve [15:11] Tita1, running WoW is not really linux native.. so give it a break.. [15:11] Tita1: it's intuitive and userfriendly. It's hard to get used to, if you've been using windows before. [15:11] I cant run WoW, or get drivers, or Use my webcam, or any other damn thing I try to do... [15:12] m1dn1ght__, thank you [15:12] ikonia, I gave up on dmraid. it looks like it is a half-hearted attempt at something real and just drove me nuts for the better part of sunday night [15:12] Tital they have a great WOW tutorial for install. I followed it and it works great. Did you see the tutorial in the forums? [15:12] .Yes [15:12] s0|2: I agree %100 [15:12] Tita1, give google a go [15:12] And It didnt work [15:12] sandy__ - no worries. [15:12] I just cant get Burning Crusade insalled LOL [15:12] It just says to use wine [15:12] Tita1: it didnt? I had much luck installing and running wow using the guides on ubuntu forums [15:12] Link? [15:12] Sorry Tital I know the addiction well LOL [15:12] The one I saw wasn't on Ubuntu forums === dasddsa is now known as falko [15:13] G'night all, sleep time [15:13] Tital hold on i have it book marked BRB [15:13] Tita1: then the ubuntu forum one might be worth a try. Go the the site and search for wow [15:13] Can anyone help with a D-link (DWL-G122 rev. C) USB Wifi adapter? Keeps dropping connection and deactivating the dongle after connecting. Can take 10-15 tries to get a stable connection. Output of dmesg after disconnect is: http://pastebin.com/m1934dd3 [15:13] ikonia, I have only used Areca cards (and never in linux), do you have any 4 or more port cards you would recommend (sata3.0) Areca's are nice it seems but pricey. [15:13] And I cant run software, I downloaded some Linux drivers, and I extracted the folder, I CD'd to the folder, and I ran the makefile and got some stupid error [15:14] Tita1: How long have you been using Windows? And Linux? So, believe me, if you'd swap the numbers, you'd be saying now "Why does windows have to be so difficult..." [15:14] s0|2: any 3ware or lsi will do you well, I have used many models and they are very good [15:14] macrobad, so true [15:14] Tita1: if you're trying to compile stuff, you need to get the 'builld-essential' package. apt-get install build-essential [15:14] Tital this "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft" is what i used and WOW worked perfect. I couldnt get BC to work though [15:14] Not really,I understood Windows when I was like 5 years old [15:14] I take it highpoint is junk on linux as much as it is on windows [15:15] what? [15:15] Tita1: noone really understands windows. They just memorize more and more obscure procedures to do stuff, without ever getting an understanding of the OS [15:15] guy wanna blame linux because of a windows game. this is stupid... [15:15] yep [15:15] s0|2: I think so, yes [15:15] Um actualy, read what Im saying. WoW is a small part of it [15:15] Tita1: No, seriously, did you need to run Wow, or get drivers, or use your webcam, or any other thing when you were 5 years old??? :) [15:16] but isnt there a program for linux that can run exe's ?? [15:16] Im having a difficult time doing anything. [15:16] And yes, I played games when i was 5 [15:16] wine [15:16] Tital Linux isn't for everyone. I like it because i enjoy learning what my hardware can do. Maybe thats not your cup of tea? [15:16] XChat: if by .exes you mean windows apps (they're not always just windows apps) then wine can run ome. [15:16] some* [15:16] Tita1: I believe, there was someone more experienced to install those games for you. [15:16] can someone help me [15:16] hi all [15:17] Tita1: well, some hardware manufactures doesnt care about linux, making it very hard to use their hardware. If all you care about is using your webcam and playing wow, stay in windows [15:17] I do, I that feeling of when you finaly get the syntax right, and everything works.But the thing is, I can never get it right with Ubuntu [15:17] Whats up Gm3r111 [15:17] ok well [15:17] Thats not all I care about [15:17] Tita1: Anyway, I am sorry, but I personally cannot help you with WoW, because I am not a gamer. [15:17] hi [15:17] i got a problem [15:17] Tita1: you're not trying hard enough [15:17] i used to have ubuntu installed with wubi [15:17] Linux users are not a sizable market for the Webcam manufacturers. [15:17] murderFS, hans reiser told where the body of his wife is stored to not get burned [15:17] Tita1: no offence intended, but really, why do you want to run linux? [15:17] but then i partioned it so i have windows and ubuntu on sepreate partitions [15:17] but [15:17] But I dont want to have spent $20 on WoW with $50 worth of playing cards, and a $100 webcam, and not have either work [15:17] Here I come again with my questions.. :P I'm running BMPx (music player), and it's messed up. I need to reset the configs for it. back in my day, pretty much all configs were in ~/.[appname]. I can't find BMPx's configs... Has this changed? Where should I look? [15:18] now i get grub and it says [15:18] ara-fat32, that is offtopic here [15:18] ubuntu or windows [15:18] ok [15:18] and when u click on windows === c0mrpo is now known as c0mrade [15:18] Tita1: then Linux is probably not for you [15:18] it says windows or ubuntu [15:18] Tita1: wow works great for me, and i know its possible to get most webcams working. But i still think you should try to consider the question "Why do i want linux?" [15:18] guys who knows some good Dialup USB modems that work on Ubuntu?? [15:18] Tita1: you have to buy hardware with Linux in mind if you want to use Linux [15:18] fulhack: Check out gconf-editor, just for a case! [15:18] if you mostly use your pc for wow, getting linux is silly [15:18] Tita1: otherwise, it's up to luck [15:18] and when you click ubuntu it asays you ubimstalled wubi and something [15:18] rockyrock: usb modems are pretty rare [15:19] When I click the "Shutdown"-looking button on my Panel it pops up with "Lock Screen," "Log Off," "Hibernate," and "Suspend" but there is no "Shutdown" or "Restart" ... WTF?? [15:19] macrobad: Okay, Will do. Cheers. :) [15:19] so i want to get ubuntu off the longhorn loader [15:19] For the last time Im not using my pc for WoW! [15:19] Jeez [15:19] so why are you talking about it? [15:19] Tita1, what is the issue; please clarify [15:19] Thats my current problem [15:19] wait me [15:19] Thats far from "All that I use my PC for" [15:19] Shoopuf: just open a terminal then type "sudo poweroff" or "sudo reboot" [15:19] Chousuke: r u talkin to me [15:20] hey macrobad, what are you doing here? [15:20] gam3r111: no [15:20] geez, you're taking everything so personal [15:20] Tita1, if you have an issue please explain; if not take chat elsewhere [15:20] shader: slacking :) [15:20] Starnestommy: OK, but that doesn't explain why suddenly I am no longer able to shut down or restart my computer through the GUI. :( [15:20] shader: How did it go for you? [15:20] anyone care to go direct for explanation on best way to upgrade to new release ? [15:20] Shoopuf: I suspect a bug of some sort [15:20] ng0n, have you read the wiki [15:20] Soryy I dont know enough to give you the answer, but, Im sure its a Grub issue. Search for grub docs. Grub even has its own web site. What version of windows? [15:20] how can i use wine for aim 6.8? [15:20] ikonia, only dialup internet connection is available in my house now! so i need such a dailup modem that will work on Ubuntu [15:20] baz. ok. [15:20] !upgrade > ng0n [15:20] ng0n, please see my private message [15:21] tnx. [15:21] rockyrock: thats a real drag, are you on a laptop ? (I assume so) [15:21] macrobad: no luck. Not yet anyway. I tried a few things, but mostly ran out of ideas after you left. [15:21] happyhenry: vista [15:21] gam3r111: pidgin can connect to aim, but I think wine can use the official aim client [15:21] gam3r111, have you seen the appdb [15:21] Tita1: people are generally more than willing to help you, but if you go "Linux sucks, wow doesnt work, my webcam doesnt work.".... you're not likely to get any help getting it running. Just ask what question you might have [15:21] Well, my main question, is after you get a tar.gz file how do you run it? I know you have to extract it, but then what? I try runnung the makefile and nothing happens [15:21] no on Desktop [15:21] bazhang: for what [15:21] Tita1: see the readme/install files in it [15:21] Tita1: tar xzvf filename.tgz [15:21] Tita1, what is the package [15:21] I didnt say Linux sucks, I said its dificult [15:21] ikonia, i use Windows with internal modem [15:21] Some Nvidia drivers [15:21] bazhang: I couldn't get the AIM client working under WINE [15:21] gam3r111, the appdb explains what will or will not run in wine [15:21] Tita1: you're trying to compile an application? that's for advanced users, really. [15:22] Tita1: a tar.gz is just like a zip file. It can contain anything and there is no way of "running a tar.gz" [15:22] rockyrock: you can get PCI modems a lot easier [15:22] I knwo [15:22] *know [15:22] bazhang: no where do i read it [15:22] ikonia, Ubuntu doesn't recognize my PCI modem! [15:22] macrobad: however, one thing that I found this morning was that some people can fix a similar problem by adding pci=noapci to the gub/menu.lst file [15:22] Tita1: you should not manually install nvidia drivers. Use those from the respository [15:22] shader: As soon as I've switched off the machine, it came to my mind that you might be using a wrong cable... say, crossover between your comp and the switch? [15:22] Tita1: You need to un-package it [15:22] Tita1: you're trying to do something you probably wouldn't know how on windows, either :/ [15:22] rockyrock: probably because it's a win modem [15:22] rockyrock: /probably/ [15:22] Tita1, if you tell us the package it would be helpful [15:22] use envy to install the drivers [15:22] gam3r111, let me get you a bot link [15:22] ok [15:22] shader: Hm.. interesting. Did it help? [15:23] !appdb | gam3r111 please check here [15:23] gam3r111 please check here: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [15:23] Dont make such strong assumptions, I know how do do almost anything the average person, or nerd needs to do on windows [15:23] ikonia, so do u know some PCI modems that will work on Ubunt>?? I have Genius modem [15:23] Gam3r111 Then new wine is great. The forums have a tutorial on install and running. After install you have to start it with a terminal and type, Winecfg that'll get it config and you always have to use terminal to install but it will come up with a little GUI to let you know its working [15:23] !envy | XChat [15:23] XChat: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. [15:23] macrobad: well, I tried swapping cables once already, so unless their both crossover, I don't think so [15:23] rockyrock: any hardware/non-winmodems should work fine [15:23] Tita1: an average person doesn't compile software on windows. [15:23] Tita1, which package [15:23] Tita1, please define, "nerd" [15:23] Nvidia drivers [15:23] macrobad: actually, I haven't tried it yet. I was hoping to find out what it did first. [15:23] Tita1: there should be an icon telling you about 'restricted drivers'.... you should tell it to use nvidia restricted drivers - do _NOT_ manually install nvidia drivers unless you experience bugs/issues with the version that is in the repos [15:23] Tita1: neither do most "nerds" [15:23] Tita1: install them from the package management. [15:23] ikonia, how can i know that it's not a win modem? [15:24] Any one know about ERROR 108 on trying to install Burning Crusade? [15:24] Tita1, you dont need to do it that way; that is much harder in fact [15:24] shader: You can check whether the cable is straight, crossover, or rollover by looking on its ends. [15:24] Tita1, don't categorize people by a stupid term [15:24] Wolphie, please take chat elsewhere [15:24] I searched Nvidia, and there were like 50 things in the Software Package thing [15:24] macrobad: ok, what's different between them? [15:24] The SPM [15:24] rockyrock: http://www.linuxcompatible.org/ check on here for supported modems [15:25] Tita1, have you checked the restricted drivers? [15:25] How do I do that? [15:25] Tita1, there are a couple of much easier options available [15:25] Tita1, System > Administration > Restricted Drivers [15:25] And I know I need drivers because I ran "glxinfo | grep rendering" and It said no,and I have a good graphics card [15:25] shader: when you put ends of a straight cable next to each other, the colour codes are the same. When you do the same for a rollover, they are just opposite. [15:25] Tita1, Usually nVidia drivers appear they by default if your card is detected [15:26] bazhang aim isint in there but neither is pivot and it works fine [15:26] there* [15:26] I see "hardware drivers" not restricted drivers [15:26] ikonia, i didn't find anything about modems! [15:26] macrobad: ok, well the first cable I used was straight, and the second one probably is too [15:26] Tita1: Hardware drivers is the correct 1 ur looking for [15:26] shader: When you compare ends of a crossover cable, they're different. If I recall correctly, the 1, and the 2 of one end go to the 3, and the 6 of the other one. [15:26] Tita1, that is one option the hardware drivers one; what is the card number and model nvidia (etc) [15:26] How do I do that? <- i told you 3 times but you just go on and on about how sorry you are for yourself cus' "linux is dificult".... sigh [15:26] Gam3gr111 Did you get answer for Grub prob? In windows xp you can restore your mbr and get windows back like it was (smaller hard drive partion will remain) then you can reinstall ubuntu. I've done that and worked fine. [15:26] Last night when I went to the "Shutdown" button in the upper-right corner of the OS GUI it used to have buttons for "Shutdown" and "Restart." Today I go there but it seems that "Shutdown" and "Restart" have been replaced with "Hibernate" and "Suspend." How do I change it back to "Shutdown" and "Restart" ?? [15:27] zipper, please take chat elsewhere [15:27] What are you talking about zipper? [15:27] happyhenry npo [15:27] **no [15:27] macrobad: so, what are crossover and rollover cables used for? [15:27] bazhang: sorry [15:27] shader: Yeah, you should be using a straight cable to connect computers to switches [15:27] hello guys :) [15:27] Umm and shut up, Im not feeling sorry for myself, Im trying to learn about linux [15:27] Tita1, the other option is envyng-gtk which does it for you; which nvidia card do you have [15:28] GeForce 6200 [15:28] Do you know how to restorembr on windows? Or What windows are you using? [15:28] Tita1, please stay focused and avoid offtopic comments thanks [15:28] shader: crossover is used to connect to same-level devices, e.g. two computers, or two switches. Rollover is used to connect to console ports. [15:28] Im not running Windows [15:28] hey guys, does the liveCD version of Hardy support the encryption option? [15:28] Tita1: the repos drivers should work nicely for u [15:28] happyhenry: i just want to get the option of ubuntu off the loader for windows [15:28] !who [15:28] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [15:28] I was using Xp [15:28] Tita1: rockyrock http://www.linuxcompatible.org/compatibility.html [15:28] bc i have it on grub [15:28] this gedit plugin says to install the plugin files in ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins, but that dir doesn't exist [15:28] Skretch2, check the alternate cd [15:28] any ideas? [15:29] When i try to run 'alsamixer' i get this error: alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: No such file or directory - any hints? [15:29] ooohhh, the "Hardware drivers" thing is working [15:29] thank you bazhang I will have to :) [15:29] Thanks [15:29] np [15:29] If you want both on same comp you need the option of each operating system. Do you want to get rid of everything except windows? [15:29] Tita1, Welcome [15:29] hoşçakalın / bye [15:29] amarok wrecked my ipod, I can't access any of my music its like it wiped it, but when i look at the system files everyhting appears to still be there, this all happened when i tried to upload a wav file to my ipod and then poof fuggged up [15:29] no [15:29] gam3r111: If you "want the option of ubuntu off the loader for windows" that means you want to uninstall ubuntu? [15:29] Happy, are you talking to me? [15:30] Does anyone know how to fix an ipod or repair it so all of my music comes back? [15:30] zipper, what does aplay -l say in the terminal; please paste to paste.ubuntu.com [15:30] Tita1, If you want additional settings for your card, sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings [15:30] Ok [15:30] Thanks [15:30] Tita1, Although your card may not support it [15:30] Okay then restoring your mbr on the windows will only effect grub. [15:30] I have to restart now , Cya [15:30] Wolphie, Tita1: dont worry, its supported [15:30] Last night when I went to the "Shutdown" button in the upper-right corner of the OS GUI it used to have buttons for "Shutdown" and "Restart." Today I go there but it seems that "Shutdown" and "Restart" have been replaced with "Hibernate" and "Suspend." How do I change it back to "Shutdown" and "Restart" ?? [15:30] hello all, I am user an OS ubuntu 8.04 , as I read on net 8.04.1 has already released. Is that necessary to upgrade my system to 8.04.1? I am installing the updates when they available. Thanks [15:30] ASULutzy, he removed wubi and wants it off the longhorn loader [15:30] by restoring mbr you effectivly take grup instructions out of the way. Then you could reestall grub [15:31] Shoopuf: thats normally caused by theme changes [15:31] bazhang, it finds my soundcard fine, and i can play music. My real problem is that i cannot adjust the volume - i can only set it to 0% or 100%. If i try setting it to say 50% in kmix, the slider just jumps right back to 100% or 0% [15:31] ikonia: Yes I have been messing with my themes lately [15:31] ibrahim: not necessary... lsb_release -a should return 8.04.1 already [15:31] Asulutzy: no i had wubi but then i got it partioned so now i have ubuntu and windows but on the windows i still have the option of starting the wubi ubuntu even tho there is nothing there [15:31] so [15:31] why are even number kernel series (2.2, 2.4, 2.6) more important (and more used in distributions) than odd number series (2.1, 2.3, 2.5) ? [15:31] "detlef@MD97600:/$ ping -c 1 -n 192.168.178.1 > /dev/null; detlef@MD97600:/$ arp -n; Adresse Hardware-Typ Hardware-Adresse Optionen Maske Schnittstelle; 192.168.178.1 ether 00:04:0E:4D:4D:A4 C eth0." What can I conclude from this output? [15:31] i just want to get rid of the opton [15:31] zipper, you are using alsa pulse autodetect or other (in sound prefs) [15:31] any body know about gstreamer package????? [15:32] amir__, sure; what is your question [15:32] Hi [15:32] Grub is just a little section on beginnig of your boot up restoring mbr account on windows will over ride grup and you will have to re install grub to get the option for your installed linux OS [15:32] ok which package shall I install? gstreamer-0.10 ???? [15:32] amir__, what is your end goal here [15:32] happyhenry: i dont want to do that [15:32] and then how to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH???? [15:32] erUSUL: yes already return 8.04.1, thanks. [15:32] kk [15:32] PKG_CONFIG_PATH=whateve/you/want [15:33] bazhang, using kde, but under sound system it is not set specificly for alsa or oss or anything - its on 'autodetect' [15:33] kantor: even numbered kernels are stable ones, odd are unstable. [15:33] I am compiling a test program with some gstreamer functions [15:33] macrobad: thats not really the case any more [15:33] zipper, can you try some of the different options other than autodetect [15:33] anyone have a suggestion for fixing my sound. my soundcard seems to work fine, but only one program at a time can seem to use it. if VLC is playing anything, pidgin loses sound, mplayer etc [15:33] ikonia: Oh, really? What's then? [15:33] sorry thats all i know that will work. Im sure theres better options like just repairing grub itself. But I would have to look at there web site, Grubs man pages. [15:33] macrobad: odd/even doesn't exist any more [15:33] macrobad, that not really true any longer [15:33] ikonia: OK, I changed to a different theme in "appearance..." The icons inside of the "shutdown interface" changed but they're still buttons for hibernate and suspend :[ [15:33] hhmm I got a logitech quik cam, anybody have an idea how hard it is to isntall this on ubuntu? [15:34] Billll, let me get you a link from the bot [15:34] bazhang, uhm, sure hang on... Wouldn't an error in autodetection cause me to not being able to use my soundcard at all tho? [15:34] thanks the info [15:34] erUSUL: Description is Ubuntu 8.04.1 , release is still 8.04 , Is that a usual? [15:34] not sure if it's quik cam =P [15:34] !webcam | Billll read this [15:34] Billll read this: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [15:34] ibrahim: yep [15:34] Billll: possible... I have one and it works, albeit not very well [15:34] ok, will do some googling [15:34] aahh thank you baz [15:34] macrobad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2SED6sewRw should shed some light on kernel dev [15:34] also I have aquestion [15:35] ok great many thanks. [15:35] zipper, I had a prob and set to alsa and that fixed it for my sound card; your experience may differ however. [15:35] !modems > me [15:35] legend2440, please see my private message [15:35] bump: anyone know about ERROR 108 on install of Burning Crusade?

[15:38] bazhang, its a asus a6r laptop with a Realtek ALC660 soundcard [15:38] tytytyty, I'm not satisfied with those [15:38] hehe aye [15:38] JarrettGreen: apache is not an ftp server [15:38] evelyette: what r u looking for then? [15:39] Thank you ASULutzy [15:39] tytytyty, I need the latest kernel [15:39] ikonia - yeah I know. I'm using proFTPd [15:39] evelyette: why [15:39] zipper, so either it is no sound or way too loud? is that the issue? [15:39] JarrettGreen: so the apache config is nothing to do with it [15:39] evelyette: if u want the latest, u will haev to configure and compile them urself [15:39] i have a problem with proftpd i can connect to it but it will not list the directory [15:39] evelyette: u can dl the tarballs from kernel.org [15:39] bazhang, exactly. I can playback sound perfectly, i'm just unable to adjust the volume properly [15:39] tytytyty, and if I downlaod it and compile it...compiles just fine, but then I'm stuck with the kernel panick: unable to mount unknown filesystem devfs [15:39] Do, what's changed in dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , and is there a replacement x configuration tool, except for vi? [15:40] evelyette: why do you need a new kernel ? [15:40] s/Do/So/ [15:40] fordboy0, what card [15:40] ikonia, it has the latest driver for my network card that supports injecting [15:40] evelyette: which card ? [15:40] bazhang, any, really. Just noticing that the configuration options seem to be "gone" [15:40] ikonia, does it matter, this is not my problem [15:40] <_Brun0_> hi all. i have a table "people" with a column called "age". i need to select all people and group by age < 24 and age >=24. how can this be done? [15:40] zipper, I recall having that same problem with kmix, trying to recall what I did to fix it--does it always reset to very low? [15:40] let me solve my problem first [15:40] evelyette: yes, which card is it ? [15:41] anyone know why virtualbox killed my X server? [15:41] tytytyty, any ideas about that kernel panic? [15:41] evelyette: enable devfs support? [15:41] fordboy0, okay. thought you needed help with a particular card. [15:41] tytytyty, how' [15:41] Thank you all! Im going to go read up on what ASULutzy gave me and on how to use IRC chat, lol Got to love Ubuntu community!!! [15:41] evelyette: make menuconfig [15:41] tytytyty, it's not in kernel [15:41] evelyette: which card is it, there may be an easy way of doing this [15:41] <_Brun0_> sorry i posted in wrong channel [15:41] happyhenry: good luck! [15:41] bazhang, nah, default it was just set at 100%. It doesnt magicly change itself either, it will just only allow 2 settings: 100% volume or 0% volume [15:41] ciao a tutti [15:41] tytytyty, where in the kernel is it? [15:41] !it | bus [15:41] bus: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [15:41] bazhang, thats why i wanted to run alsamixer, to check if it wasnt just an issue with kmix [15:41] evelyette: extract the tarball [15:42] evelyette: cd into the directory [15:42] tytytyty, I already have... [15:42] bazhang, nah, It's not a problem to do it by hand, I just wondered why the change. Seems short-sighted. [15:42] I need to find that now [15:42] evelyette: ohh... ok.. press / [15:42] evelyette: which card is it, there may be an easy way of doing this [15:42] zipper, what about adjusting the sound on the apps themselves; does that work [15:42] lol i want a shirt with that saying, "Where in the Kernel is it!" ROFL [15:42] evelyette: search for devfs [15:42] tytytyty, I did:) and searced for devfs...no results...I have 2.6.25.6 kernel [15:42] !kernel | evelyette [15:42] evelyette: 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 [15:42] ikonia - ok. I was just saying things had been moved, but my FTP client isn't showing that. I can get into www in my FTP , but it's blank with the apache2-default folder still in there. [15:43] evelyette: hmm ok.. let be do abit of googling for u [15:43] yay, im back [15:43] JarrettGreen: because your root has changed [15:43] Tita1, what is the situation with your card now [15:43] evelyette: I'll tell you where devfs is if you tell me which card ou have [15:43] evelyette: you may not have to do this [15:43] lol [15:43] bazhang, dont have any music on this box, but i guess youtube should do the job fine.... hang on [15:43] ikonia, I want to do this...not just because the card [15:43] hi [15:43] evelyette: it might be just some kernel options [15:43] evelyette: why ? it's clear you don't really understand what your doing or configuring [15:44] with ubuntu us there away to create a ISO/CD-Rom that will allow me to install Ubuntu will set configuration and also run some scripts once the install is done [15:44] tytytyty: it's not, it's a compile in only option [15:44] I am using pidgin as an IRC client which is probably awful but there you go, I am new to this game. Any idea how to get the ChanServ window up? [15:44] evelyette: cos u should be using udev instead of devfs [15:44] tytytyty: can't be a module [15:44] ikonia, yes I do:) haha [15:44] yes I'm using udev [15:44] tytytyty: udev isn't a file system [15:44] ikonia - so why would my FTP client not accurately reflect the actual filesystem? [15:44] just don't know which crap in ubuntu want devfs [15:44] it's old and unusable anymore [15:44] bazhang, adjusting the volume from the application (firefox) works. [15:44] Nothing its fine ( Except games being a little grainy, but I dont care ) But now I realized that Wine wont work with "Cracked" software.I tried to run Black and White 2 that has a No-Cd patch on it, and It wont run [15:44] ikonia: yup..if not.. its an altu populated /dev thingy [15:44] auto* [15:44] evelyette: correct, [15:44] tytytyty, who wants devfs ? [15:44] tytytyty: correct sorry [15:45] zipper, this is used on ubuntu or kubuntu? let me ask in kubuntu channel about this [15:45] the kernel error shouldn't be there [15:45] if I use udev [15:45] evelyette: compiling a kernel is nothing to do with ubuntu support, it's for experienced users, [15:45] And Its not like CD patches are only for Illegal software, I use them all the time so I dont have to switch out CD's [15:45] hello! [15:45] how can i reinstall opengl? [15:45] Tita1, it doesnt have much to do with cracked software. Actually there is a bigger chance of it running the cracked version rather than the retail due the the crack having less DRM crap like SecuRom [15:45] ikonia, I run LFS otherwise:) so I'm pretty experienced [15:45] ikonia, stop annoying me [15:45] anyone know a p2p application which you can share privately with friends ? [15:45] bazhang, kubuntu, i already tried in #kubuntu but with little luck [15:45] evelyette: LFS doesn't mean your experienced, it means you follow a book [15:46] evelyette: wel.. i guess 1st u have to find out what config does ubuntu uses [15:46] Well, when I run the non CD patched version, it runs fine up until "Please install CD" but the cracked one crashes right away [15:46] evelyette: and try to mirror its configuration as much as possible === Lynet is now known as Loony === Loony is now known as Loony_ === negge^ is now known as negge [15:46] ikonia, what ever you say to make yourself feel better...I'm not here to judge [15:46] evelyette: unfortunately ubuntu's build didnt not enable /proc/config.gz for u to copy its config [15:46] cm faccio a trovare un canale italiano? [15:46] evelyette: me neither [15:46] Tita1, you can go to the winehq website, they have a link in the menu "AppDB" - try going there and search for black and white. Maybe someone found a way to get it running [15:47] evelyette: you understand the rules about what has to be modules and what doesn't ? [15:47] I had some trouble installing WicD instead of the network manager - where to find a good tutorial? [15:47] ikonia, yes you juded me [15:47] hi..would anyone know the cause of my ubuntu freezing out of no where lately [15:47] programs turn gray [15:47] ikonia, haha:) yes [15:47] evelyette: I didn't judge you [15:47] !search xserver-xorg [15:47] Found: xconfig [15:47] evelyette: ok - so what have you currently got compiled in [15:47] ok [15:47] frold, what is the problem? [15:47] no ideas how to reinstall opengl? [15:48] Tita1, if you can run it without the crack, you could mount the iso file (in case you dont have the real cd) and make it act like a cd drive with winecfg [15:48] ikonia, all filesystem support that I need, my hard drive, sound card, proc, .... automodules .. and some modules I think I'm gonna need someda [15:48] y [15:48] guys plzzzzzzz i searched the internet for a PCI dialup modem that works on Ubuntu or xubuntu but i didn't find. Can anybody give me some [15:48] network suppport [15:48] evelyette: have ou got your disk controller as a module ? [15:48] no [15:48] well first time I installed it I last both my cable connection and I wasnt able to connect to my wifi, so I had to reinstall hardy fordboy0 [15:48] how do you install packages from current repositories over local (but newer) packages? [15:48] :) [15:48] I want ~/bin at the end of my PATH, so added it in .bash_profile, .bashrc, but it is already in PATH at the beginning. Where's that being added, so I can remove it? [15:48] evelyette, we are volunteers; please respect that. [15:48] evelyette: ok - so do you think thats the problem [15:48] no it's not === snmpee_ is now known as [GLOBALLOSER] [15:49] my ubuntu has been working fine for the first few weeks but now everyday it freezes and i can't click on anything, not even to restart it. programs turn gray, etc. anyone know why or what i can look at that may fix it? [15:49] Is there a nice and easy GUI tool for editing Gnome top-level menus? [15:49] evelyette: oh, are you using an initrd of your disk controller then ? [15:49] ikonia, why woudl I want modules...I don't want initrd support [15:49] will this work with 8.0.4: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WICD [15:49] I use ibm x60 with intel 3945ABG wireless card and ubuntu 8.04 use iwl3945 to drive it. I found iwl3945 is not stability, because the speed always come down to very slow. How to solve this problem. Thanks. [15:49] frold, if you have a working network connection before you install wicd, just make sure to back up the /etc/network/interfaces configuration file. [15:49] evelyette: so why have you not compiled in your disk controller ? [15:49] Put ' deb http://apt.wicd.net hardy extras ' in /etc/apt/sources.list [15:49] ikonia, I did:) just not as module [15:49] evelyette: thats what I asked [15:50] frold, then 'apt-get update ; apt-get install wicd ' [15:50] daning, well, you could play around using nsidwrapper instead but from my experience with wifi in linux.... Just be happy it works [15:50] lol... the lines are scrolling too fast >.< [15:50] ikonia, I'm done taking to you...that's not helping me [15:50] evelyette: ok - then please take this to a more appropriate channel [15:50] zipper: The wireless when I use ubuntu 7.10 is out of box and very stability. [15:51] evelyette, please take kernel questions elsewhere [15:51] daning, oh... wierd [15:51] evelyette, ikonia: chill guys.. misreads and typos happens :) [15:51] hey all [15:51] no, because I want to know where the hell ubuntu takes the idea that the system need devfs support [15:51] how can i reinstall opengl? [15:51] mftom: have a look under Services and see if you have them all enabled [15:52] evelyette, you are offtopic [15:52] evelyette: #ubuntu-kernel [15:52] no trigsenior: how can i accomplish that? [15:52] evelyette: the people who package the ubuntu kernel up are there [15:52] !search xserver-xorg [15:52] Found: xconfig [15:52] zipper: I have tried to use nsidwrapper but I fail to configure it. Even cant found the wireless card. [15:52] !xconfig [15:52] To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes [15:52] i havent done that yet but i'm willing if you show me how lol [15:52] !FixRes [15:52] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

Such as a GUI tool? [15:52] evelyette: im not sure if ubuntu uses devfs.. im still mainly a gentoo user... :p [15:53] oh i see it... [15:53] how can a user tell if they have the 32bit of 64bit hardy installed ? (i forget which one i installed for my friend) [15:53] will u pls give me a bash script to chk the battery status of my lap [15:54] trigsenior: the only ones that are unchecked are hardware monitor, braille, audio settinigs management, does that matter? im using a laptop [15:54] how do you install packages from current repositories over local (but newer) packages? [15:54] How do I stop ~/bin from being added at the *front* of my PATH? I checked /etc/profile but it'snot being added there... [15:54] daning, i can't really recommend ndiswrapper. I've used it a few times to get wpa support, but it was just too unstable to be useful [15:54] wishie: uname -m === Loony_ is now known as Lynet [15:54] wishie: uname -m, if it says i686 they have 32 bit, if it says x86_64, they have 64 bit [15:55] zipper: So now I have to use the local network instead the free wireless, though I use my laptop. [15:55] nevermind, found it [15:55] I even want to roll back to ubuntu 7.10. [15:55] daning: I use ndiswrapper with no significant problems, though it's probably always a better idea to use native linux drivers [15:56] daning: don't think you can roll back [15:56] daning, im sorry, dont have any experience with your card (or even that much with linux and wifi in general). Seems pretty silly if you have to downgrade tho [15:56] daning: Yea, that requires a clean install [15:56] i have a wireless keyboard that i use w/ my laptop - and as of recently (i cant really pinpoint when), ubuntu does not recognize the number pad, it uses it to change mouse position (like arrow keys), and i have no idea how to change it (numlock doesnt do anything)... any suggestions? [15:56] ok, I want to know something: if you download ubuntu 6.06 or whatever (some old version) can you upgrade to the ubuntu 8.01 (the newest version) via "apt-get update" [15:56] ASULutzy: How to use ndiswrapper in ubuntu 8.04? [15:56] daning: What wireless card do you have again? [15:56] evelyette: not with that command but yes you can upgrade straight [15:56] evelyette, that one lts to lts yes [15:56] Flash keeps crashing my firefox [15:57] use opera [15:57] intel 3945 [15:57] evelyette: You could try update-manager -d [15:57] :-) [15:57] So once I find Black And White 2 in the WineHQ search, then what? Can I like download it or something? === yacc_ is now known as yacc [15:57] thank you guys [15:57] Tita2, you can read about other people's experience with running it in wine [15:57] Tita2, the game? or wine? [15:57] Tita2: the appdb just gives you information as to whether or not it's fully supported [15:57] np [15:58] Tita2, you have to buy the game :) [15:58] i might be wrong, but wasnt there a big fuss about the DRM in black and white back when it was released? In that case, its not likely going to run well in linux [15:59] is it just my setup, or is the current flash player (adobe's) dog slow for everyone? [15:59] yep its just slow [15:59] synque, it seems okay here. [15:59] ASULutzy: I use ibm x60 with a intel 3945 wireless card. [15:59] I can literally see how it repaints the video. window works kinda, fullscreen doesn't... [16:00] daning: What is the exact line in lspci that describes your wireless card === HardyOne is now known as IdleOne [16:00] ASULutzy: 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) [16:01] daning: Just something I stumbled across, but have you tried http://www.ubuntugeek.com/using-ipw3945-instead-iwl3945-in-hardy.html [16:02] Friendly greetings ! i'm trying to install mono for lighttpd, but i can't find the binary "fastcgi-mono-server2", i installed the package lighttpd, mono-xsp2, a lot of mono package, ... i run the latest ubuntu 8 LTS server. can you tell me where i can find this binary please ? thank you. [16:02] daning: Also this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=820297 [16:02] (or how to find it) [16:03] ASULutzy: Thanks. I'll go over to those thread. [16:03] daning: I had big problems with this driver which were fixed by using an older kernel [16:03] Yah, I know I have to but the game... [16:03] Im not a noob ( Only when It comes to Linux ) [16:03] titusg: can you give me some detail suggestion? Thanks. [16:04] daning: I am using 2.6.22-15, down from 2.6.24-19 -- then iwl3945 started working [16:04] i followed this tutorial to install mono for lighttpd. (i also ran xsp2 in standalone, and it works) [16:06] mmm, i go try on #lighttpd :) [16:06] titusg: iwl3945 works at the beginning. Then the speed of my wireless slow down to nearly zero. Than something it works again. Did you have the same problem? [16:06] daning: yes, and losing rhe connection altogether, sometimes I could reconnect, sometimes not [16:07] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=194231 Tita2 seems B&W has issues with wine [16:07] If there is a power cut can you set a computer to turn it's self on again when power is returned?

You might need to add it to grub if you don't use apt [16:11] titusg: OK. Thanks. I'm trying. [16:12] anyone using emesene and having problems with the sound plugin?

[18:18] ubunubi, how can I do this? can you write me for a some steps? [18:18] !patience [18:18] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [18:18] dr_martins: uhm, open synaptic? hit refresh...click mark all updates..then hit apply? [18:18] dr_martins: ^ ^ ^ ^ [18:18] What program can be used to open .bin files ? [18:18] simon_: sh [18:18] simon_: sh, but be careful [18:19] simon_: `chmod +x [file].bin` [18:19] éloOo, take the apero ? [18:19] simon_: try chmod on that .bin file [18:19] simon_: which bin file? === kirby is now known as Charitwo [18:20] ubunubi, ehm... there are TOOOOOOOOOO much updates and I see, that a lot of them I don't need at all! [18:20] Is there a way to change the Gnome menu top-level menus? Such as adding more than 3(Apps,Places,System)? I know it can be done by editing the menu list files, but I was hoping for something a little less time consuming. [18:20] dr_martins: why are you running such an out of date system? could have lots of security holes [18:20] ubunubi, what do you think about if I search all lines with "nvidia" word and install all these applications? [18:21] Shpook: doesn't alacarte let you do that? [18:21] !find nvidia- [18:21] Found: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-386, linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-generic, linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-server, nvidia-kernel-common, nvidia-settings (and 36 others) [18:21] dr_martins: i dont understand your question [18:21] dr_martins: why not just install them all so you dont come in here tomorrow with a question about program X, when the solution might be "update program X"! [18:21] Is there a GUI program I can use to set one of my NTFS partitions to auto-mount on startup? [18:21] raistlinmaje7: I was hoping so, but alacarte just lets you edit whats inside the 3 top-level menus. You can't add or remove any. [18:21] simon_: i forgot my password on this server, so I can't message you [18:21] dr_martins, there are also updates that do not have nvidia in their name yet still are needed for a proper system. It is highly suggested that you do a full update. [18:22] Shoopuf: no, but editing the /etc/fstab file isn't so hard [18:22] ubunubi, I think, that my system isn't out of date, 'cause there is latest official release with all of automatic-downloaded updates [18:22] nvidia-settings - Tool of configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver [18:22] nvidia-xconfig - The NVIDIA X Configuration Tool [18:22] !fstab [18:22] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [18:22] there we go [18:22] I'm going to work guys! [18:23] dr_martins: But you just said that you havent installed the updates. [18:23] enos: u-god is the weakest member of wu-tang [18:23] dr_martins: the pidgin updates i saw (were 2), one had purple in the name, and the other was something i don't recall. i'd search for pidgin, then search for lib purple, and see if both have updates there [18:23] I guess I can get into the menu lists, but it's confusing as to what is located where. I think it's in XML format, which isn't so bad. [18:24] where is the menu.list file? [18:24] raistlinmaje7: /boot/grub/menu.lst [18:24] raistlinmaje7, it's menu.lst located in /boot/grub/ [18:24] They're not called menu.list, but theres some in ~/.config, and some in /etc/xdg/menus/ [18:25] sorry, I meant the xml file that's for the gnome menu [18:25] that's what I meant, yeah [18:25] Dr_willis: libpurple0 pidgin pidgin-data [18:25] Pici, as I see - there are two updaters - system updater and Synaptic updater. I've just installed all updates found in system tool [18:25] And I think there are some scattered elsewhere, but I've yet to find them [18:26] Shpook, we were not talking about gnome's menu there -- that was in relation to grub [18:26] Shpook, this might help you tho - http://www.gnome.org/start/2.0/menuediting.html [18:26] unop: no, I messed up, I meant the gnome menu [18:26] but has anyone else had troubles with usb optical mice after updating to hardy? [18:26] raistlinmaje7: no you were actually meaning grub [18:26] raistlinmaje7, it's spread across various .menu and .directory files [18:27] unop: :-) actually me and raistlinmaje7were discussing Gnome menus. Thank you for that link :-D [18:27] <[Michelangelo]> ikonia, have you a minute for me? My Audio device doesn't work, I have tried to update the whole system and to follow this document: http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/Hardware/Audio/HdaIntel but nothing to do. The audio is repeated many times [18:27] <[Michelangelo]> ikonia, what is the problem? [18:27] wtf http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8888563&st=Ubuntu&lp=1&type=product&cp=1&id=1211587312374 [18:27] YAHOO!!!! One problem minor! Pidgin is stable working [18:28] unop: That's perfect, exactly what I needed. Thanks! [18:28] dr_martins: IM me @ kiwi_gurl_87 [18:28] Now, once I'm better in Python, I plan on writing a better menu editing package. [18:29] Shpook: o yea? [18:29] Shpook: and we will all love you for it [18:29] i use windows [18:29] :-D Give me 3-6 months...I only started Python a couple months ago. [18:29] But it's on my list for sure. [18:30] Shpook, there's bound to be something that does this already [18:30] stansmit1, pidgin said that he can't found this nickname "kiwi_gurl_87" [18:30] wtf [18:30] !wtf | stansmit1 [18:30] stansmit1: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [18:30] unop: I was hoping so, and I searched and searched, but came up with nothing. Alacarte is the closest, but only allows you to edit sub-menus, not the top-level menus. [18:30] oh, this may also help with my problem I did "sudo cat /dev/input/mice" and moved my usb mouse around and there was plenty of goobledigook spewing out on the terminal but the mouse still doesn't move the cursor [18:31] So, maybe it'll just require adding functionality to alacarte. [18:31] Shpook, i beleive there is something called smeg that also does this -- but i can't be sure how well it works -- i don't use gnome [18:31] unop: hmm..okay, I'll go look into it now. [18:32] can someone help me? [18:32] hello [18:32] !ask | chupy [18:32] chupy: 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. :-) [18:32] anybody know how i can determine why my laptop doesnt go into sleep mode when i shut the lid. this only happens about 1 out of every 10 times, and is especially bad because i then shove it into my backpack where it gets really hot [18:32] !patience | chupy [18:32] chupy: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

[18:33] how to mount my kingston usb devise autmatic [18:33] anyone got any ideas? [18:33] hmm, does the ordering of sections in the xorg.conf file matter? like if I have an input device section, then a monitor section, then an input device section, is that still valid? [18:33] chupy: it should mount when you plug it in [18:33] chupy, usually, you just plug it in -- and nautilus finds it [18:33] well, hal does anyway [18:33] chupy: `sudo mount -t [fs type] /block/device /mount/location` [18:33] no it didnt [18:33] raistlinmaje7: order doesn't matter [18:33] anyone?

[18:35] in a forum i read a comand but i dont remember [18:35] chupy: `sudo mount -t [fs type] /block/device /mount/location` [18:35] where is the xorg.log? in the /etc/X11 folder? [18:35] chupy, if you know the device you want to mount -- use the mount command [18:35] hello there, when I try to connect with my wireless network, the nm-applet keeps prompting me for the password without getting further. [18:35] chupy, if you don't know what device it is -- use fdisk -l to find out [18:35] raistlinmaje7, type find /etc/X11 -name xorg.log and it will find it if its there [18:35] yes but what i dont understand is whre is the mount location [18:36] I believe it can't get access to my keyring [18:36] davidtlw, Xorg logs to /var/log [18:36] davina, ^^ [18:36] raistlinmaje7: could also be /var/log/Xorg.log or something like that [18:36] I'm trying to install the amd64 ubuntu server 8.04 from an usb pendrive to a raid 1 lvm partitioned disk with a mobo g33 intel.

[18:37] Bicky: when I press number 5, something's changing [18:37] chupy, no ,i meant the device in the form of /dev/sdXX ? [18:37] odd, xorg.0.log says nothing about my mouse, my touchpad, yes, but not my mouse [18:38] Bicky: yes, right, a bit :) [18:38] sdxx ???? how i will now that?

[19:03] !hi | alex_dinamo [19:03] ikonia: i want to see if i can enable frequency scaling [19:03] alex_dinamo: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [19:03] raistlinmaje7, ?? what? [19:03] raistlinmaje7:yes i did [19:03] satan_: is that not in the current xen kernel ? [19:03] satan_: I thought it was [19:03] I have a problem trying to compile subversion 1.5 [19:03] Hi, I have a small problem: I'm using synergy, Windows Vista as a Server, Ubuntu 8.04 as client, both of them have English/UK keyboard layouts, but it seems that when I'm typing on the client with the server keyboard, the layout is totally screwed up... does anyone know what the problem might be? [19:04] shafire: never mind [19:04] raistlinmaje7:lot of lines [19:04] alex_dinamo: subversion is in the repos [19:04] ikonia: i don't think so, let me reboot and try [19:04] seems like Hardy's neon has no support for libtool [19:04] satan_: I'm %70 certain it is [19:04] or something like that [19:04] ok [19:04] Is there an html application that will do image maps? Anyone? [19:04] synaptic has very old subversion [19:04] alex_dinamo: what's up with the repo version ? [19:04] alex_dinamo: you need to "apt-get binutils" [19:04] Hi, how can I see what is in a .img file? It is a cd image and I can burn it with brasero, but I first want to see what is on it. [19:04] ikonia: is binutils what it is called? i dont use ubuntu [19:04] stansmit1: binutils ? what about it [19:04] willem: not gonna happen [19:04] ikonia: how do i go about getting it anyway? [19:04] netix: huh, alright, was it gstreamer0.10? [19:05] I already have binutils [19:05] raistlinmaje7:yes [19:05] ikonia: is that the ubuntu package with all the development tools for compiling stuff [19:05] @stansmitl: care to explain? [19:05] satan_: which source package do you want, the vanilla one, or ubuntu [19:05] stansmit1: build-essential [19:05] the thing is... package neon doesn't include a libneon.la [19:05] ikonia: the ubuntu one [19:05] is there one that has -plugins-bad? [19:05] willem: that is like trying to look at a binary file [19:05] hi. Err. Why did I have to hack to get a graphic bashshell in ubunto? there was non in the menu *livecd* [19:05] satan_: apt-get source $package_name [19:05] alex_dinamo: apt-get build-essential [19:05] alex_dinamo: correction, apt-get install build-essential [19:05] ikonia: ok thanks, let me try :) [19:05] willem, maybe you can try a loop mounting, it works with iso [19:06] @stansmitl, If I can burn it, I should be able to unpack it somewhere else as well, won't I? [19:06] is there a quick and easy way to label a Fat32 partition without screwing with mtools? [19:06] willem: well in that case make sure you have a "program" than can "unpack" a ".img" [19:06] ok, I'll try that.. but I can't see yet how that will get me a libneon.la [19:06] ubunubi: they are the correct tools to use [19:06] well ubuntu is a shit distribution. [19:06] ikonia: ok it got it, any idea where it untarred it? [19:06] netix: i can't message on this server, I forgot my passwd, but, dig around the repos and find the bad-plugins [19:06] ubunubi: watch your language [19:07] @danza, how would I mount a iso? [19:07] ubunubi: mtools are nothing to do with ubuntu, all distros will use them [19:07] willem, maybe you can use mount, let me read the man ( man mount ) [19:07] ikonia: wrong tab completion ikonida [19:07] ubuntu__: what your language [19:07] ubunubi: apologies [19:07] ubuntu__: watch your language please. [19:07] !o.o [19:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about o.o [19:07] !o [19:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about o [19:07] no luck... still... I've got no libneon.la [19:07] how can I check if I have 3d supprot enabled ? [19:07] aaugh [19:07] raistlinmaje7:i send you private mesage [19:07] ubuntu__: you are correct [19:08] how/where can I get a neon compiled with libtool support? [19:08] netix: I know that, I can't message you back, this nick is registered but I forgot the password [19:08] frojnd: glxinfo | grep direct [19:08] alex_dinamo: you'd have to build it yourself [19:08] alex_dinamo: what's wrong with the version in the repo ? [19:08] alex_dinamo: ya whats wrong? [19:08] ok, but how can I do that without disturbing dependencies? [19:08] can someone help me with ndiswrapper? [19:08] alex_dinamo: you can't [19:08] raistlinmaje7:so report here [19:08] so? [19:08] what are the commands to get system-manufacturer info? [19:09] netix: no I got your messages [19:09] alex_dinamo: you'll have to build and re-package [19:09] i need help finding the .inf file [19:09] alex_dinamo: thats the only way to keep the package managment/deps in track [19:09] netix: are you messaging stuff about me? [19:09] raistlinmaje7:what i need to do [19:09] Jimshoe02: where? [19:09] alex_dinamo: is there something specific wrong with the ubuntu packaged version ? [19:09] where what? [19:09] KDB9000: you mean the hardware information? [19:09] wtf I have here some old toshiba with only 512mb of ram and some crappy intel video card and visal effects are already enabled... 3d works [19:09] alex_dinamo: yea is there something wrong with it? [19:09] stansmitl, no about my problem [19:09] I just can't respond, and I'm telling you to try out the gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad [19:09] !wtf | frojnd [19:09] frojnd: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [19:09] nixnoob: ya he does [19:09] ikonia: yes, neon does not have libtool support compiled in, so it seems [19:09] netix: o ok [19:10] frojnd: lol i did the same thing [19:10] alex_dinamo: why do you need libtool support ? [19:10] KDB9000: lspci for pci devices and lsusb for usb devices [19:10] ikonia: svn prereq [19:10] nixnoob: that isn't what i am looking for [19:10] KDB9000: and lsmod for modules [19:10] ikonia: subversion 1.5 does require it [19:10] raistlinmaje7:none of them are bad just ugly [19:10] stansmit1: I know what it is, but what is the problem with the svn version packaged with ubuntu [19:10] head --> desk [19:10] KDB9000, "sudo lshw" in a terminal. one of the top items should be product and vendor [19:10] alex_dinamo: why do you need 1.5 ? [19:10] sorry, someone remembers mount syntax for loop devices for willem? "mount -o loop /folder/file.iso /mnt/cdmounted" it's right? [19:10] KDB9000: can you explain in more detail what you want? [19:10] i am trying to use ndiswrapper to install a windows driver for my belkin wireless card, but the driver is in an exe file [19:10] head --> desk [19:11] ikonia: long story, I need subversion 1.5 [19:11] netix: "sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse" [19:11] alex_dinamo: quick summary ?

[19:11] ikonia: can you point me to instructions on how to repackage neon? [19:11] frojnd: "wtf" [19:11] stansmit1: :) [19:11] nixnoob: jowi provided the command. sudo lshw [19:11] alex_dinamo: it's quite a drawn out process, [19:12] raistlinmaje7:now it need work? [19:12] alex_dinamo: if you tell me what you need from 1.5 there are alternatives to get specific things [19:12] netix: did you do it? [19:12] KDB9000: there is also a gui hardware monitor in the system menu [19:12] how do i delete a file in terminal :/ [19:12] my pidgin buddy list window disappeared, and doesn't redisplay when I restart the app. is there a way to find it, move it? [19:12] Setting "vdriver" is not set to a valid unsigned integer: "opengl" >.< what does that mean lol [19:12] ikonia: I use eclipse, with svn support [19:12] Shoopuf: rm [19:12] nixnoob: I looked around for it but didn't find it [19:12] wastro: Check the system tray. [19:12] raistlinmaje7:it will finish.. === saki_ is now known as saki [19:12] seems like my command line svn is not compatible [19:12] hi..some of my folders in ubuntu cannot be shared due to which banshee cannot access them...any ideas how to resolve the problem?

Welcome to #ubuntu!

[19:14] is there a way to see what process/program is keeping a device from being unmounted? [19:14] what do you mean, plugin error? [19:14] stansmit1: I just need a suitable command line svn [19:14] frojnd: i meant that as a statement, just boot up using the live cd and see if the wifi works. [19:14] alex_dinamo: yea ok then either get whats in the repos or compile your own [19:14] nixnoob: ok [19:14] stansmit1: for some reason, downloaded eclipse doesn't work well, can't do updates, etc... works for a while [19:15] how do i set up emacs to highlight php syntax? [19:15] frojnd: you may need to enable it in restricted driveres manager but im not sure [19:15] alex_dinamo: ubuntus version is 1.4.6 - it's not that old at all [19:15] alex_dinamo, apt-get install subversion? [19:15] i have a big problem with my laptop's wireless [19:15] the hardware seems to be gone [19:15] it is not anymore in the 'lspci' listing [19:15] raistlinmaje7:wher it starts it write some erors..

I have no suitable codecs for watching avi files, if I connect to the internet and download drivers, after I'll remove the live cd and use the old system will this new drivers dissapear ? [19:15] "apt-get install subversion" [19:15] sorry willem I don't have iso image to try with; but I think you should use something like 'mount -o loop file.iso /mountpoint' in order to read your cd [19:16] the computer is a hp pavilion tx1320us [19:16] alex_dinamo, subversion works for me [19:16] magnatune...? what the heck? [19:16] nixnoob: i am adding my laptop to the wiki and it asked me to provide the info from a command, the command is "system-manufacturer" and for the product and system. well the command doesn't work, any thought on what i should try? I could just use the lshw [19:16] yeah, sure it works for you! [19:16] @danza will it matter if it is an img instead of an iso? [19:16] with a broadcom wireless card [19:16] liek it's gonna help everybdy else [19:16] alex_dinamo: why don't we try to debug your issue, rather than blindly upgrading [19:16] alex_dinamo, whas yours doing? [19:16] anyone know a good walkthrough for a debian netinstall? this will be my first netinstall and first time using debian... [19:16] raistlinmaje7:Unable to activate plugin Jamendo [19:16] okay, well, "sudo apt-get remove gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse" [19:17] any idea on how to recover the wireless card? [19:17] don't know, sorry. It should'nt [19:17] SeveredCross: haha, thanks, but vi/m also doesn't highlight php for me right now [19:17] and of course there's the whole emacs being better thing [19:17] HOLA UN CANAL ESPAÑOL????? [19:17] KDB9000: I see, perhaps theres a package in the repos system-manufacturer ? what OS is the wiki for? [19:17] raistlinmaje7:done [19:17] ikonia: the problem right now is: I either get/compile a newer subversion, or get neon fixed to have libtool support [19:17] alex_dinamo: why are you so certain you need a new version [19:17] alex_dinamo: lets debug the problem, 1.4.6 is not that different from 1.5 [19:17] !es | beatriz__ [19:17] beatriz__: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [19:17] hi [19:17] netix: and I can't help you further, I have no idea what your problem is [19:18] nixnoob: it's the ubuntu wiki [19:18] how to sync clock with ntp? " ntpdate[6783]: no servers can be used, exiting" servers are in config file, which created by gnome time panel... === beatriz__ is now known as beatriz [19:18] ok ty [19:18] ikonia: I already said so: Hardy subversion doesn't work for me, ok? [19:18] alex_dinamo: so lets debug that [19:18] nixnoob: they never say you have ti install anything, just ask for the output from the commands [19:18] ikonia: I need a newer svn [19:18] alex_dinamo: you've got no reason to believe that subversion 1.5 will work [19:18] ikonia: why not? [19:18] KDB9000: i dont kno synaptic comes back with nothing for system-manufacturer, perhaps its an outdated command or it has been replaced ... [19:18] can I configure my ubuntu 8 to use my other mailserver? cron for example isnt sending msgs [19:18] alex_dinamo: what makes you think you need a newer version ? [19:19] I've got a pretty old (as in edgy) ubuntu server that I'd like to update [19:19] alex_dinamo, then download subversion form the projects website [19:19] KDB9000: i think lshw is sufficient information [19:19] my problem is my apt-get update would'nt work anymore === eddyMul is now known as eddyMul_ === eddyMul_ is now known as eddyMul [19:19] which is quite annoying since I need it to get the update-manager-core package [19:19] any idea ? [19:19] is there a ubuntu livecd with a Xen boot option, so i can test it without installing? [19:19] Br|ce: `sudo apt-get install vista` [19:19] ikonia: I know I need a newer subversion, can you truste me on that? [19:20] So I'm reading about installing my second display and came across this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174 [19:20] ikonia: now: can you help me get a newer subversion? [19:20] hey I am trying to install xp in virtualbox using ubuntu, the .vdi should be dynamic or static? cause when xp setup tries to format the partition, my pc hangs. [19:20] Br|ce, I would recommend installing latest version from scratch [19:20] I'm looking at installing 'twinview' [19:20] no such package [19:20] !upgrade | Br|ce [19:20] Br|ce: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [19:20] alex_dinamo, http://subversion.tigris.org/ [19:20] alex_dinamo: why - explain why you think a newer one will work [19:20] Has anyone done the same? [19:20] compile for source [19:20] Jowi: that's gonna be hard, only have a network connection to the server [19:20] ikonia: ok, that's all [19:20] madfrancis: are you using the opensource or the proprietary driver? twinview is what i use for dual monitors [19:20] ikonia: thanks for not listening [19:20] alex_dinamo: just share the info [19:21] alex_dinamo: we can help, give us the full info [19:21] can you create a network alias (on a nic) on a range of ips? sort of like 192.168.1.1/24 alian eth0 ? [19:21] ikonia: I already explained [19:21] alex_dinamo: you've not, you just keep saying I need a new version [19:21] ikonia: seems like you're not paying attention [19:21] alex_dinamo: what makes you think a new version fixes it ? [19:21] its kinda like how ubuntu installs perl 5.8 when 5.10 is out [19:21] ikonia: here it goes again [19:21] Br|ce, as you can see on that upgradenotes page, Edgy is Obsolete [19:22] Jowi: yeah, I know it is ... which is why I'd like to upgrade [19:22] ikonia: I need my eclipse's subversion to work with my command line subversion [19:22] alex_dinamo: yes, I saw that, but what makes you think a.) it's version specific and b.) 1.5 will resolve it ? [19:22] Br|ce, "End-of-life releases have been supported previously but have reached the end of their support cycle. It would be best for users of these versions to perform a fresh install of the latest Ubuntu release. Links have been removed since the upgrades between these versions are no longer supported." I guess you're out of luck [19:22] ikonia: seems like subclipse.tigris uses a newer version of subversion that the one installed on Hardy [19:22] alex_dinamo, build subversion form source with the version u need [19:22] how do i set up emacs to highlight php syntax? [19:22] hey have u guys been to apple ads. the totem plugin actually looks nice. as far as the skin. [19:22] ikonia: ok? [19:23] if my computer just freezes up and i need to reboot...is there some sort of error log in can run/see? [19:23] alex_dinamo: no, eclipse doesn't use subverion - it uses the one on your system [19:23] that's pretty tough [19:23] trashguy: I am doing so, but then I need neon compiled with libtool support, ok? [19:23] @danza: I get this: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, [19:23] missing codepage or helper program, or other error [19:23] In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try [19:23] dmesg | tail or so [19:23] any idea on how a wireless card can dissapear from a laptop after a reboot? [19:23] can I configure my ubuntu 8 to use my other mailserver? cron for example isnt sending msgs [19:23] alex_dinamo: as people have said in here, it's working ok for them, so lets debug your issue, rather than blindly upgrading [19:23] willem, what command have you typed? [19:23] hi, does anyone know how I tell gnome-terminal NOT to use F11 as a hotkey for full screen mode? I need F11 for something else [19:24] Br|ce, damn me for not following links properly: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades [19:24] alex0 then install libtools before you compile ^^ [19:24] well actually I already read that page [19:24] mjg: maybe syslog .. see in /var/log .. but dont get your hopes up [19:24] bah [19:24] juanez, k thank haha [19:24] sudo mount -t iso9960 -o ro,loop D1.img ./test [19:24] How do I move whole directories with the ftp terminal client? [19:24] also, i checked synaptic, and it says i have firefox-3.0 installed...but i cannot find it :( [19:25] Jowi: only problem is it asks me to apt-get update update-manager-core [19:25] osxdude: ftp doesn't move, think "put" or "get" [19:25] Jowi: and I can't [19:25] alt-f2 shows regular ff, and so does Applications -> Internet [19:25] How do I put whole directories with the ftp terminal client? [19:25] an input regarding my earlier query: pdftotext converts from pdf to text .. its almost good. just in case if it helps someone ;) [19:25] osxdude: which client are you using [19:25] hi, does anyone know how I tell gnome-terminal NOT to use F11 as a hotkey for full screen mode? I need F11 for something else [19:26] osxdude, recursively [19:26] the FTP client at the terminal, ftp. [19:26] OH [19:26] -r. [19:26] willem, I think you have to give the right value to loop options [19:26] Is it possible to save GNOME panel arrangements and such so that I can restore it if I reinstall again? [19:26] does anyone know if firefox 3 is in the repositories and/or how i can get it? [19:26] zirek, its in the gnome terminal settings... [19:26] osxdude, i typically prefer scp ^^ [19:26] Jowi: update wouldn't work, and instlal network manager core wouldn't find the package [19:26] willem, maybe better you search the web ... it should be easy ... now I search too [19:26] zirek, under keyboard shortcuts - Logically enough. :) [19:27] hey [19:27] hey [19:27] wii [19:27] fuckers [19:27] Dr_willis_: that was not the correct answer though [19:27] mayck: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:27] !akb | mayck [19:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about akb [19:27] What is the recursive option? [19:27] what? [19:27] Br|ce, to be honest with you, multiple upgrades are a pain that I've only done once and therefore I would not recommend it to anyone. I don't think I have enough info to handle your upgrade setup [19:27] @danza: ok, I am searching, but thanks for your time! [19:28] Jowi: ok, thanks anyway [19:28] Wolphie around?

We don't get any further [20:05] jonathanIV, or it will kill off the apps running from that terminal. :) dont use the X. type 'exit' or use the alt-f2 command line [20:06] chupy: Usually /dev/sda1 is your first hard drive. can you paste the output of sudo fdisk -l into a pastebin while your pen drive is plugged in?

[20:32] this is what i got http://paste.ubuntu.com/26001/ [20:32] Why doesnt my wpn111 wireless adapter work when i installed ndiswrapper and it is being recognized? [20:32] itsjareds: ndisgtk is the utility of choice to use [20:32] hello, i have trouble with installing the driver for my graphic card, can someone help? after installing the driver i have only a white screen!??? [20:32] regeya: I find that Nvidia notebook cards make great heaters too. :P [20:32] ikonia: yes...running bash works [20:32] or maybe I should run the latest beta of Adobe Flash [20:32] maek: I do that. :-/ [20:32] there were 3 users with this problem....so i logged in as one of hte other problem users to test the bash command [20:32] maek: doesn't cause any particular increase in load. [20:33] because that sucks %100 CPU on YouTube [20:33] manicnerd: so it looks like your user is not having a login shell executed when you ssh in [20:33] Okay, I am trying to use ssh to basicly extend my computing and storage.

[20:33] this is what i got http://paste.ubuntu.com/26001/ [20:33] so I had to fall back to the previous beta [20:33] chupy: your usb bus has hung, it maybe easier to reboot [20:33] on version 10 [20:33] ikonia: so does chsh not fix this? [20:33] 1.4 Ghz thunderbirds like to heat things up [20:33] maek: running 10 beta 2. [20:33] ikonia: because it seems to fix the problem for the one problem user that i ran it for [20:34] reboot my computer or py pendrive? [20:34] ikonia: but i dont know much about this yet.... [20:34] maek: fluctuates at about 50% for both cores when playing Amaranth on YouTube. [20:34] does anyone know much about ssh? [20:34] DanielRM, oh okay ... it made all the flash elements flickery and crashed Firefox 3 a lot on mine [20:34] manicnerd: it masks it rather then fixes it [20:34] reboot my computer or py pendrive? [20:34] Cyrus25801, did you get what you wanted? [20:34] bob3213243, better to ask your real question [20:35] bob3213243: How are you using ssh? Through Ubuntu's built in Places -> Connect to server? [20:35] maek: it stopped my Firefox crashes with Flash but I do have flicker. [20:35] wait [20:35] chupy: you can't reboot a pen drive [20:35] man how cold is it in Melbourne ... anyone else from Melbourne here ?? [20:35] chupy: so your computer [20:35] ASULutzy yes. [20:35] firefox doesnt crash with flash [20:35] djhash:it is mysql 5.0. but now that i look at that I am not sure if I specified the database correctly. If I use the mysql query browser. On the right it shows mysql and under that it is Clients. but when I click on clients it creates the statement : SELECT * FROM Clients C; [20:35] !offtopic | maek [20:35] maek: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [20:35] ompaul Okay, I am trying to use ssh to basicly extend my computing and storage. The only problem is it won't let me edit files on the computer I'll shelled into. I can copy them and use them but not edit the file system. [20:35] XD ok i will reboot to see what happens [20:36] DanielRM so like you were getting crashes on Beta 1 and then Beta 2 fixed your crashes ?? [20:36] bob3213243, you can edit them perhaps on that far away machine? [20:36] has anyone used the rtl8187b patched drivers by cuervo? [20:36] Hello everyone [20:36] vive cuervo! [20:36] bob3213243, but not with a tool on your local machine [20:36] ikonia: ok.....is it an easy fix? [20:36] bob3213243, so basically you have a permissions problem -- the user you are logging on as doesn't have the necessary permissions on those objects [20:36] maek: I got crashes using 9; I last used beta 1 a long time ago so I can't remember if that crashed. [20:36] manicnerd: depends on the reason, just pondering about possible reasons [20:36] what network card driver will work for gnbr02g n. card (laptop)? [20:37] I am using Totem player and want subtiles saved in .srt format to be played with movie [20:37] bob3213243: Weird, I can edit files through there no problem... [20:37] how can I achive this ? [20:37] ??? [20:37] bob3213243: Oh yea, I didn't even consider that, obviously you can't edit things you don't have the permission to edit === dbarcelini is now known as ratifers [20:37] ASULutzy how do I get them? [20:37] kushalsejwal, try using vlc [20:37] unop: it wont work on totem?? [20:37] ASULutzy the only account on their is mine. [20:38] kushalsejwal, not that i am aware of [20:38] bob3213243, have the admin give u rights [20:38] unop: have you used movie subtitles on VLC?? [20:38] DanielRM, oh okay yeah Beta 1 crashes a lot less than 9 did ... its good to see that those Adobe drongoes have a good stable Flash on the horizon [20:38] ikonia: i had ubuntuserver already installed....messed up bad (deleted the /boot instead of /media/oldHDD/boot)...so i just reinstalled and some users are having this problem (there are only 5 total users...it's all local stuff....just messing around for fun) [20:38] trashguy I'm the admin, how do I add the permissions? [20:38] i have trouble with installing the driver for my graphic card, can someone help? after installing the driver i have only a white screen!??? [20:38] manicnerd: ok, so lets not spend too much time on it [20:38] maek: it makes a change, certainly. [20:39] ASULutzy I'm the admin, how do I add the permissions? [20:39] bob3213243, well typically u su or sudo ^^ [20:39] kushalsejwal, i haven't personally , but i do know it supports that feature [20:39] rosel : which 1u have? [20:39] I would give VLC a try thanks buddy [20:39] my graphic card ist ati 1100 series [20:39] Cyrus25801: remove the c and the space after clients.. the c after clients tells mysql that when retreiving the database.. it can refer to it using c instead of Clients.. its not something you'll be using in PHP since i dont think php allows multiple mysql statements in a single statement.. [20:40] DanielRM, wasn't that drop down menus behind the flash element the most annoying bug ever in 9 ... they fixed it in Beta 2 [20:40] bob3213243: Are you saying you can't edit things in /home/$USER folder? [20:40] Jowi: just finished the upgrade to hardy ! [20:40] maek: oh, definitely! [20:40] Jowi: that went smoother than I expected [20:40] ikonia: ok [20:40] thanks everyone! [20:40] now let's eat something [20:40] ASULutzy anywhere. [20:41] ASULutzy I can give you the info you need to log in so you can see what I mean. [20:41] bob3213243, well ls -la and who is the owner of the files? [20:41] bob3213243: Well, you shouldn't be able to edit things anywhere, you really should only be able to edit things in /home/$USER? [20:41] hello [20:41] DanielRM, and I hope that Flash player 10 will be fully compatible with Compiz including YouTube full screen videos under Compiz [20:41] bob3213243: ssh to the machine using the terminal and use the command trashguy gave to see who the owner is [20:42] djhash: it still only gives me the 1st echo statemnt. what should I do now [20:42] someone explain gallium3d to an idiot like me? [20:42] maek: why, was that buggy? [20:42] is there a way to fake the kernel version, so some script believe I use some different kernel than the one I use really ? [20:42] mirak: no [20:42] mirak, edit the script? [20:42] brb [20:42] mirak: that would be a bad idea [20:42] hi. does a loop device (the one that is created bu luks for example) cached? I created loop device using cryptsetup but it didn't commit any changed to physical block device until I removed its mapping [20:42] mirak: You could possibly edit the script, but chances are what you're doing is a bad idea :) [20:42] has anyone gotten rtl8187b wireless working under debian? [20:43] mirak: if something needs to know the kernel version then it's probably dangerous to fool it into thinking you have a different one. [20:43] bubba: I have a trendnet tew-424ub (wireless usb adapter) that used modified rtl8187b drivers [20:43] how do i get a 256 color gnome terminal in hardy [20:43] connect [20:43] DanielRM, blablabla [20:43] yeah under Flash Player 9 if you went to YouTube under compiz and pressed Fullscreen it made it either crash or it would be totally off the screen [20:43] Hi, is there a way to do a clean install to reset any settings that arn't default? [20:43] hi [20:43] hello [20:43] dandel, I know what I am doing, I don't need the moralisating answer special noob [20:43] rose1: try ATI binary X.Org driver [20:43] DanielRM, [20:43] ASULutzy: what did you use exActly?

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./bin/: bin/supertuxkart [20:54] Aggrr. root@PC-XPS:/media/Disco80GB/Juegos_Linux/supertuxkart-0.4-linuxi386# ./run_game.sh [20:54] bash: ./run_game.sh: Permission denied [20:54] bob3213243, type su then enter your root password, then you are root. [20:54] IntoxikCat, supertux is in repos [20:54] okay thanks anyway [20:54] opt1k: just nethack, yes. As for package names, you could either browse through Synaptic or you could press tab twice after typing sudo aptitude install into a terminal. [20:54] IntoxikCat: change the permission, make it executable [20:54] bob3213243: Any reason why you've got things owned by root instead of by the user? When you connect through ssh it generally brings you to the users home folder, and in the home folder you can read/write do whatever. Why aren't you putting your file in the home folder? [20:54] trashguy: no sudo, not su [20:54] im trying to install wireless connection. I tried ndiswrapper and other packages. At some time when installing ndiswrapper the wireless connection option disappeared from network settings [20:54] IntoxikCat, post output of ls -l file.sh [20:55] ikonia: I have a ATA-100 hdd. I want to backup it, but I need a blockdevice to it first. [20:55] hello , i can't seem to install any linux versio n, i want to install WUBI and i get : unable to execute /bin/sh any ideas ? [20:55] raheem, please check yourself before. it is 8.04.1 and ai need 8.04. i gues i do not need a reason to prefer an older version [20:55] punshme: so it will be /dev/sd$ [20:55] can someone help me install wireless [20:55] anirudh0: root@PC-XPS:/media/Disco80GB/Juegos_Linux/supertuxkart-0.4-linuxi386# ls -l run_game.sh [20:55] -rwxrwxrwx 1 user-xps user-xps 41 2008-03-07 13:28 run_game.sh [20:55] ikonia, that is arguable [20:55] greeting [20:55] uri: Wubi is bad news bears, you sure you want to use it? [20:55] DanielRM: thx, btw i get multiple package names for nethack, eg nethack-x11, -qt, -lisp, -gnome & -console ... which should i choose? [20:55] ikonia: allright. that makes sense. tanks [20:55] trashguy: it's not as "su - " and your password won't work [20:55] i'd like to play falcon's eye [20:55] ASULutzy well I think the best thing to do is to change the user and group from root to nickolaus. Is that possible? [20:55] IntoxikCat, why are you root? [20:56] ikonia, you type the root password [20:56] trashguy: Well, actually su doesn't work by default... so [20:56] trashguy: there is no root password [20:56] i have a challenge with my volume control [20:56] opt1k: it depends on how you want to play it. In the terminal or with a GUI? [20:56] in ubuntu 8.04 [20:56] ikonia, true, i always set mine [20:56] can someone help [20:56] uri: u try on ry agressive another partition or on one with win ? couse they will collide win is ve [20:56] IntoxikCat, permissions are fine...but working around as root is a __Very__ bad idea [20:56] ikonia: i still got the same message [20:56] DanielRM: well, gui, i think that's the Falcons Eye [20:56] demfrax: did you check it you had permissions [20:56] Haha, lo acabo de hacer. [20:56] uri: u try on another partition or on one with win ? couse they will collide win is very agressive***** [20:57] i am a FreeBSD admin so i have some habbits [20:57] opt1k: in that case just install the falconseye package. [20:57] Cyrus25801: how goes it?! did that fix it?! [20:57] bob3213243: You can ssh to the machine and use chown... But I'm still not 100% sure that's what you want to do. If you're sure that's what you want to do, you can ssh to the machine and use chown -hR nickolaus /the/path/you/want/to/own [20:57] DanielRM: tx [20:57] anyone please [20:57] Become leter.

Some like it, most would say it's a bad idea. Myself and most others in the room I bet would suggest using a live-cd to evaluate Ubuntu, and if you like it, then go ahead and setup a dual boot [20:58] ubottu is it a bug ? or am i don't something wrong [20:58] uri: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:58] "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltiff" how do i get tiff?

Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers [20:59] can someone help me install ndiswrapper? [20:59] bob3213243: Yea, what trashguy is saying. You can certainly use chown to change ownership, but you're more likely going to hose up your system doing that. You shouldn't have the permission to edit files other than in your home folder. That's by design. [20:59] !ndiswrapper [20:59] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [20:59] isnt vmware the virtual machine ware program from ms ? [20:59] Geminion, no [20:59] been trying to find it on the net to install, but i cant seem to find the bugger [20:59] i promise i tried, that and many other documentations [20:59] Geminion: not from ms [20:59] hei what is best program for mp3? [20:59] nvm, i think i found it [20:59] Arg, then thats what im doing wrong maybe [20:59] dont go chowning stuff you will nuke your box lulz [20:59] Geminion: it is not from MS [20:59] so its the vmware workstation i need to take then ? [21:00] oh [21:00] Geminion: virtualPC is the package from MS, vmware is third party [21:00] ok [21:00] i can no longer see wireless connection in network settings [21:00] Ahhh [21:00] Geminion: I forget what MS' is called. Do they make virtual PC? [21:00] righto [21:00] hei what is best program for mp3 playback?? [21:00] uri: try on another partition first see if that helps ( did it install and not booting or not installing? [21:00] netix: depends on you, different people like different applications to listen their music [21:00] ASULutzy: yeah they make virtual pc [21:00] Geminion, qemu is nice [21:00] netix, amarok [21:00] does vmware support 64 bit ? [21:00] Geminion: no, it's a 32bit app [21:00] or qemu [21:00] Qemu does [21:00] netix: There generally is no "best" music program. With that said, I prefer amarok, and so do lots of others :) [21:00] you can emulate all kinds of things like ppc === Jesus is now known as Guest2221 [21:00] !qemu [21:00] qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo [21:01] if i have 3 disks with vista installed on one of them, will the ubuntu installer install grub correctly over vista's bootloader?

I use it for all my VM's [21:01] thanks [21:01] no reason [21:01] Geminion: I just installed XP under virtual box and it worked flawlessly [21:01] hello [21:01] havnt decided on one yet [21:01] Baby_Shambl3s, amarok has no equal in gnome :) [21:01] ok [21:01] !Virtualbox [21:01] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer.

I am logging in as nickolaus which is the only account on the system other than root of course. I have a handful of very large harddrives on this computer my brother and I use it as a dump for code and images for our business so we both can keep track of everything from one place. Well I just moved over to kubuntu on this system and now I can't edit those harddrives the [21:02] y are under root and the group is also root. Make more sense? [21:02] help [21:02] netix, that does'nt make sense [21:02] Geminion: I've used others in the past, personally I would go with virtualbox, really easy to set up [21:02] anirudh0: self opinion i believe mpd is good enough for me and anyone else using my system can live with rhythbox [21:02] so there is no other way to get the 8.04 alternate cd?? [21:02] richard: How may we help you? [21:02] Baby_Shambl3s: Installing amarok isn't exactly gnome breaking. Gnome and KDE are still both linux. It just looks a little different than most Gnome apps; with that said, I really don't think any Gnome apps come close to amarok. [21:02] ASULtzy Okay I have a better handle on what is going on. I am logging in as nickolaus which is the only account on the system other than root of course. I have a handful of very large harddrives on this computer my brother and I use it as a dump for code and images for our business so we both can keep track of everything from one place. Well I just moved over to kubuntu on this system and now I can't edit those harddrives they [21:02] are under root and the group is also root. Make more sense? [21:02] netix, mp3 is already compresses..converting to wav cannot enhance quality [21:02] ohh thks [21:02] bob3213243, ok, so its just user data? [21:02] hey, I'm trying to install WoW on hardy heron using Wine, and I can't find the Installer.exe file that is needed to install [21:02] not quality [21:02] i have a challenge with my volume [21:02] Geminion: virtual machine in x --- VirtualBox OSE [21:02] using ubuntu 8.04 [21:02] but it more like lagy [21:02] Baby_Shambl3s, you can also live with mpg123...however, that can hardly be called "best" :) [21:03] grabbing the virtbox now, with 8.04 [21:03] for amd 64 [21:03] netix, run mp3check on the file [21:03] well its an intel really [21:03] netix, sorry..mp3val [21:03] it say that i do not have the correct gstreamer plugin [21:03] Trashguy yeah, it's nothing that is vital to the system it's just a handful of drives I am trying to share with my brother and that I am trying to access remotely with read and write access. [21:03] not like slow but with defects i cant play mp3 normal but wav sounds normal [21:03] ASULutzy: i know that ive used it, i was just stating that they may not like kde at all on their system if they are using gnome its just a thing about me and (anirudh0) yes the "best" all depends on peoples view [21:03] richard: What types of files are you trying to play? [21:04] trashguy: If it's just user data I guess you can chown -hR nickolaus /media/ [21:04] wait how to run it i dont now, i am new one [21:04] tstiffler88: you can't find the installer in the warcraft directory? you should be able to just browse to it and run it with win [21:04] * anirudh0 thinks "normal" is too subjective [21:04] ASULutzy: try Listen or Exaile. Definitely equals of AmaroK. [21:04] ASULutzy, that or make a gorup so both him and his brother have access [21:04] and the icon is in the tray is with a red sign with white line in the middle [21:04] DanielRM, hardly..i can crash listen in a thousand ways [21:04] how can i find sound files on my comp? [21:04] there is no sound at all [21:05] s`s: no, it's not there.it's hidden...the howto said that there is a way to mount the disk to find the installer, but I tried and I still cannot find it...it won't actually mount the disk like it is supposed to [21:05] scifiguy951, find / -iname "*.mp3" [21:05] trashguy, bob3213243: Yea, whoops, that was a mistell earlier. But yea, smarter would be to make a new group that owns that stuff and add both users to it. There are lots of solutions ;) [21:05] anirudh0: how so? I've never had problems with it. [21:05] netix: install ubuntu restricted that should install all mp3 drivers, movie drivers etc unless u want to do it maunually [21:05] richard: I repeat, what types of files are you trying to play? [21:05] richard, post output of lsof /dev/snd/* [21:05] DanielRM, its a python prog..and still under dev(sort of) [21:06] anirudh0: Ah yes, good idea [21:06] what is that [21:06] ASULutzy okay, how do I go about doing that? or changing the group those drives are under? [21:06] there is no sound for anything [21:06] richard, terminal command [21:06] hello [21:06] bob3213243, sudo addgroup brothers [21:06] I have a problem with my laptop and an external monitor [21:06] richard: It will display information on active audio devices. [21:06] ok [21:06] i did it [21:06] err virtualbox extension is called deb.... [21:06] richard, is ff running? [21:07] bob3213243, then vi /etc/group [21:07] richard, ff with gmail does that [21:07] how the hell am i gonna run that in vista ? [21:07] anirudh0: most things are still under development... [21:07] whops [21:07] the monitor appears in nvidia-settings, but not when I try to detect it [21:07] DanielRM, amarok 1.4 has been stable for ages [21:07] pardon my language [21:07] sorry guys [21:07] what should I do? [21:07] is there a CLI way of telling an application which workspace to launch into? [21:07] i'm trying to get my WoW DVD to mount and show me all of the hidden files, and I'm not sure how, could someone help? [21:07] bob3213243, then go to the bottom where the gorup was added and add you usernames after the group entry [21:07] it says no such a file or directory [21:07] anirudh0: stable != not under development. [21:08] richard, what did you type? [21:08] how do I get status of the process of a dd process [21:08] lsof /dev/snd/* [21:08] punshme: you can't [21:08] anirudh0: although I suspect we're getting into semantics here. [21:08] Geminion: Oh, you're booting into Windows and want to install Ubuntu to a VM? [21:08] please? [21:08] DanielRM, amarok 1.4 is only in bug-fix mode [21:08] k [21:08] im in windows, and want a vm there to run ubunto [21:08] DanielRM, and its pretty hard to find bugs in it :P [21:08] richard: Oh dear, well that's not good.......... [21:08] get comfy with it, and then make it dedicated [21:08] anirudh0: I don't dispute that, although personally I found AmaroK unwieldy. :P [21:08] Geminion: Well then you picked the wrong thing to download. You want to download virtualbox for Windows. [21:09] well it show me all the info you said [21:09] ASULutzy trashguy thank you guys so much I love you! ;) [21:09] bob3213243, then sudo chmod -R 775 /media , then sudo chgrp -R brothers /media [21:09] richard, lsof /dev/ds[p [21:09] *dsp [21:09] bob3213243, get all that? [21:09] lsof /dev/ds[p [21:09] trashguy: heh, I think he probably went with my non-elegant solution :-/ +1 for your better solution ;) [21:09] *sops up and thinks logicly... Well of course i would.. ASULutzy your right on that one...* [21:09] problem installing ubuntu ( or any other distribution) unable to execute /bin/sh anyone has any idea?

[21:11] sploozer, try curl...if that also fails, the site has a problem [21:11] curl? [21:11] Geminion: heh, gl! Alternatively you could play around with the ubuntu live-cd or use Wubi (I wouldn't really suggest this), or if you have some hard drive space to spare, just setup a dualboot, it's really not tricky at all. But VM works, obviously there will be the overhead of running Vista and Ubuntu simultaneously, so you may not get the full feel for how snappy Ubuntu really can be, but go for it ;) [21:11] problem installing ubuntu ( or any other distribution)using WUBI: unable to execute /bin/sh anyone has any idea?

[21:13] arooni____: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GnomeDo/Installation [21:13] ASULutzy: i've done exactly as the installer says , just downlaod wubi and let it download ubuntu by it self [21:13] arooni_____, use a virtual keyboard [21:13] matt444, i recall kde havong some 'kstart' command that could force that.. but never seen a similer thing for gnome.. the #gnome guys may know of one..some X apps have a desktop option also i recall.

When Im trying to dd backup it, its stop at a certain adress. Any suggestions on what I can do? [21:18] punshme, dd_rescue [21:18] And why doesn't it raise an error ? Just a freeze, no more log than the gnome common warns [21:18] punshme: do you mean your hard drive won't entirely work or won't work entirely? [21:19] its a drive that isnt partitioned at all, so its only going to be used for the virtual [21:19] wget is running in a bash script, i need to figure out how to invoke the enter key in my bash script so after wget finishs it returns to the prompt [21:19] asr`, only sure way to know is to run under a debugger [21:19] if it works out well for me, i will be cleaning the disk, and redooing it the right way with dual boot ! [21:19] can't seem to get live-cd to work recieves : unable to execute /bin/sh message any1 know this problem? [21:19] oh splat, 4% done with formatting [21:19] anirudh0: do u know any useable one ? [21:19] hello [21:20] asr`, debuggers are not meant to be usable ;) [21:20] (i used truss, in my young time, unser solaris .-) [21:20] sploozer, you could but some sort of 'clear screen' command at the end of the script. perhaps make it beep when done.. Play a tune.. :) run 'fortune | cowsay' or just print a few newlines.. [21:20] richard, hello [21:20] ok so where should i paste the info [21:20] i put a blank echo after my wget command but it prints that before the wget kicks off [21:20] richard, pastebin [21:21] what is the command for getting 32 bit libraries ? [21:21] !paste | richard for the 3rd time [21:21] richard for the 3rd time: 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) [21:21] sploozer, ahh wget is sort of spawning to the background. [21:21] richard, you are supposed to heed ubottu's words :) [21:21] ok hld on [21:21] sh [21:21] anirudh0: do you have the name of a debugger for me (except XXgdb) ? [21:21] I can't get ati drivers working on my macbook, when X loads with them loaded, I get screen corruption [21:22] richard: and by heed, he means bow down to ubottu [21:22] dr_Willis, why would that happen? [21:22] dr_Willis, unless he intentionally did that [21:22] anirudh0, not sure. Ive rarely scripted wget.. other then to grab a few dozen files while i sleep [21:22] asr`, gdb rules [21:22] sploozer, try axel [21:22] hello, I'm trying to install World of Warcraft and I' [21:22] anirudh0, id have to see his script to check it out [21:22] sploozer, its in repos [21:22] ok here it is [21:22] http://paste.ubuntu.com/26019/ [21:23] I'm not having any luck with getting WoW installed [21:23] dr_Willis, only way to "background" is to add a & , right? [21:23] tstiffler88, i use cedega [21:23] anirudh0, with wget.. there may be options.. that thing has 1000+ options [21:23] trashguy: not Wine? [21:23] richard: That was a typo on the bottom, lsof /dev/dsp is I'm guessing what was meant [21:23] Although ventrilo is a pain in the butt [21:23] anirudh0: so I do not search a debugger, but a tracer... [21:23] tstiffler88, cedega is a paid version of wine that is designed for games [21:24] asr`, strace is your friend there... [21:24] trashguy: how much does it cost? [21:24] dr_Willis, that is very ttrue [21:24] although wow works in wine the performance is meh [21:24] tstiffler88, liek $15 i think [21:24] anirudh0 [21:24] axel [21:24] !appdb [21:24] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [21:24] richard, again...please read the channel carefully...i told you to change lsof /dev/ds[p to lsof /dev/dsp [21:24] http://paste.ubuntu.com/26019/ [21:25] tstiffler88, http://www.transgaming.com/ [21:25] the wine database./sites will have tips for running wow at better speedxs also [21:25] HOW TO add user to group useing terminal ?

[21:25] ok [21:25] trashguy: thanks, I've been thinking about getting that, too [21:26] ok this is what happen [21:26] http://paste.ubuntu.com/26020/ [21:26] ventrilo is the devil in wine :( [21:26] ‰I'll try. [21:26] Hey guys.. i've been trying for days to get this working.. I have a radeon mobility 7500 and would like to utilize the s-video out.. i got halfway there.. whenever I switch to 800x600 resolution the screen gets all messy.. and the TV gets all messy too.. here is a post i made with my xorg.conf info... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5334749#post5334749 [21:26] maybe they wont be greedy and at least release a linux binary [21:27] uri: Have you got the installer? [21:28] how do I get dd_rescue? [21:28] !find dd_rescue [21:28] punshme: sudo aptitude install ddrescue [21:28] File dd_rescue found in ddrescue [21:28] punshme, its in the repositorys in the ddrescue package it seems. :) [21:28] dd_rescue is different from ddrescue [21:29] arinudh0 [21:29] which one do I need? dd_rescue or ddrecue [21:29] sorry i am new to all of this [21:29] can I apt-get install ddrescue? [21:29] punshme: ddrescue is the package. [21:29] punshme: dd_rescue is the command, it seems. [21:29] punshme, yes [21:29] punshme: yes, but apt-get is not recommended for installing any more. [21:30] y? [21:30] how can I get back to the alsa setup we had in gutsy? [21:30] hello [21:30] DanielRM, what do you mean? [21:30] DJ_HaMsTa, unop: bad dependency handling. [21:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/26020/ [21:30] DanielRM, that doesn't make it redundant [21:30] DanielRM, and bad is a relative term [21:31] DanielRM: so what is the recommended way? [21:31] DJ_HaMsTa, unop: do a sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop and then sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop and have a look, then. [21:31] anyone can help me please [21:31] Scunizi: aptitude. [21:31] !anyone | richard [21:31] richard: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [21:32] yes sorry i am new to using this cchat in ubuntu [21:32] DanielRM, kubuntu-desktop is a metapackage -- and it can be removed to very little effect [21:32] i have a problem with my volume control from the tray [21:32] this is what i have [21:32] http://paste.ubuntu.com/26020/ [21:32] DanielRM: that's an old argument.. apt-get and aptitude are so close as to be neglegable. [21:33] lets burn him! [21:33] unop: that's the point. apt-get doesn't mark packages installed as dependencies as automatically installed, so you get orphaned packages when you remove parent packages. [21:33] http://podcasts.aolcdn.com/joystiq/podcasts/Metal_Gear_Special.mp3 [21:33] Oops sorry. [21:33] Does Ubuntu have a handwriting feature in foreign languages? E.g. one that allows me to write Kanji? [21:33] DanielRM, well, it's arguable really -- you find apt-get inconvenient on this one thing -- some other people, me included, find this a feature of apt-get [21:34] richard: do you have any sound at all? [21:34] unop: how so? [21:34] no nothing at all [21:34] DanielRM, i don't want apt-get to remove dependencies of a meta-package when i remove it [21:34] richard: have you checked online to see if you soundcard model is supported by ubuntu? [21:34] i just inserted a DVD and it will not mount, it gives me an error: "Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'WoW DVD'." [21:34] unop: then why remove the meta-package in the first place? [21:35] well it was working until two days ago [21:35] richard: what have you installed or modified since then? [21:35] #firenze [21:35] tstiffler88, may be faster/easier to use the downloadable installer for WoW. sounds like the dvd is bad/dirty also. [21:35] then i installed virtual box ose and after that it started [21:35] DanielRM, packages conflicts [21:35] hello [21:36] dr_Willis: 55 hour wait time, and my internet connection is fast so I don't know... [21:36] unop: example? [21:36] richard: have you tried completely uninstalled virtual box to test if it's the problem? [21:36] not yet [21:36] tstiffler88, 55 hr wait to just download the isntaller? I think ya may want to look fro other sites with the installer. [21:37] I'm working on application, which is using SCTP protocol. How can i check if my application is listening on given port. I tried to use netstat, but it seams, that netstat in ubuntu 8.04 doesn't support SCTP protocol. [21:37] i can only seem to edit /var/www/ using root, how can i change that? [21:37] dr_Willis: i guess I'll look now... [21:37] Hi, I'm copying a large amount of files over my network, and I'm only getting 5MB/s how do I find out where the bottle necks are? [21:37] Xsploit: sudo chown -hR UserYouWantToEditWith /var/www [21:37] freexe: i'd check the bottle [21:38] s/k /k/ [21:38] DanielRM, example - package A conflicts with a meta-package but you know that package A does not conflict with any of the other packages pulled in via a meta-package - rather than force package A to be installed, you remove the meta-package and you prevent a broken system [21:38] is it possible for me to install flash plugin whole using the livecd? [21:38] Question : I am trying to install bochs - "X-Windows libraries not found" . Any clues ? [21:38] while* [21:38] dr_Willis: found a good torrent and it's already almost downloaded...thanks [21:39] w0a: compiling from source? [21:39] yes [21:39] any idea? [21:39] Hey guys.. i've been trying for days to get this working.. I have a radeon mobility 7500 and would like to utilize the s-video out.. i got halfway there.. whenever I switch to 800x600 resolution the screen gets all messy.. and the TV gets all messy too.. here is a post i made with my xorg.conf info... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5334749#post5334749 [21:39] Question: how can i disable xchat option that says me when a user login or logout ???? [21:39] w0a: open synaptic, and search for x libraries with the -dev option added [21:39] let me try [21:39] tstiffler88, i cant imagine why the WoW site dosent have an official torrent for that thing.. since they sort of use torrents for their updates and stuff === jock is now known as joco [21:40] I've been hunting and hunting with no solution. Since upgrading I can't get my mic to work like it did in Gutsy. It's not a usb but standard. works in windows fine. using lspci I get 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)... Any suggestions! [21:40] that worked, thank you ubunubi [21:40] pablish, I right cick on the tab and checkk the hide parts/joins option. [21:40] Xsploit: np [21:40] pablish, theres some comand that sets them hidden by default also. [21:40] thnx dr_Willis ... [21:40] unop: wait, how does that make sense? How can package A conflict with a meta-package if it doesn't conflict with any of the meta-package's dependencies? A meta-package has no functionality, so for it to conflict you would need to have one of its dependency packages conflicting with package A or its dependencies. [21:41] hmm.. Im having trouble installing ddrescue :/. [21:41] I'm trying to help a friend installing Eve-online, but it requires Cedega which I don't like. Anyone installed it just using Wine? And will it be fine using the Windowsbinaries? [21:41] os.irc.gr [21:41] im on a livecd [21:41] Zambezi: you should check the Wine APP DB [21:41] and another question ... maybe an stupid one ... how can i send an specific user a message like the one you send to me??? [21:41] DanielRM, such things happen in unstable branches like debian unstable and ubuntu intrepid [21:41] Zambezi: it'll tell you what status that program is, in each version of wine. pick the version it has the best rating under [21:42] ubunubi : well the problem is that there are too many. I was hoping i could find info on google, but no luck. I want to recompile bochs to use gdb with it [21:42] also, the version that comes with apt-get isn't working anyway [21:42] unop: I use Intrepid, but does a typical user? [21:42] ubunubi: Thanks! Will check. [21:42] I am running ubuntu as my primary OS, i would like to install Vista to another drive, is there anything i should know before proceeding? [21:43] dont do it!! :P [21:43] unop: the typical user uses stable branches, and thus that sort of thing simply will not happen. In such a case there is no point in using apt-get for anything other than fixing a few problems or getting source code. [21:43] Storrgie: keep a Ubuntu LiveCD handy. [21:43] Storrgie: because Vista will over-write the bootloader. [21:43] Storrgie: installing vista might mess up the bootloader [21:43] even if its on another drive? [21:44] Storrgie: if you want to avoid ALL headaches.. yank the ubuntu drive, install vista, put ubuntu drive back in and use the bios to change the boot order to go from one to the other.. [21:44] yeap [21:44] how can i re-install the bootloader [21:44] w0a: you can probably get away with xlibs-static-dev ..dont know if it's the version you need. you'd have to read up on the program you're trying to compile to see [21:44] shiiiiit [21:44] Storrgie: probably best to do what Scunizi did. [21:44] dr_Willis: they do, but it was taking 55 hours [21:44] When disabling pulseaudio, do I have to change anything to make dmix and dsnoop the default pcms in hardy? I want the same behaviour like in gutsy! [21:44] Storrgie: the other way is to install it in a VM like VMware server.. [21:44] how can i send that type of message that says nick: themessage :S [21:44] Scunizi: I would like to be able to select in grub, incase the girlfriend wants to get on... getting into the bios might be a step that will make her not want to be on [21:44] Scunizi: its for games [21:45] !language | Storrgie [21:45] Storrgie: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [21:45] pablish: just type it.. or type the first few letters then press tab... [21:45] Storrgie: then you're going to have to deal with fixing grub after installing.. [21:45] djhash, ahhhhh like this? [21:45] pablish: for example dj{tab} will become djhash [21:45] Scunizi: and how would I go about fixing grub? [21:45] pablish: exactly [21:45] !grub | Storrgie [21:45] Storrgie: 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 [21:46] djhash, ahhh perfect.... thnx a lot!!! [21:46] no luck, i 've tried installing many libs [21:46] asd [21:46] i'm having trouble getting daemontools to work on hardy, whether i follow straight djb instructions from source, or use the packages via a howto which says to point at debian etch for builder debs.. any pointers? [21:46] the source install seems to work but init never starts svscan [21:47] hallo === sean is now known as Guest39895 [21:47] hi [21:47] meteoroid, and what is svscan - a service? === LinuxKid is now known as N3bunel [21:47] i used sudo -s and got sudoers is mode 0777, should be 0440 [21:47] I keep getting logged out when I try to use the number pad. [21:48] how do i repair that [21:48] unop: 'what is' ? [21:48] you want me to paste output? [21:48] what do I do when I cant install dd_rescue, and dd stops when it reach a bad sector? Can i make it skipp those bad sectors? [21:48] This is reagrding WIFI setup in HP laptop [21:48] punshme: look at "man dd" to see it's list of options [21:48] I wanted to setup wifi on BCM43XX drivers [21:48] unop: oh, sorry, svscan is a process controller [21:48] any suggestions? [21:48] meteoroid, well, does /etc/init.d/*svscan* exist? [21:48] used by qmail, djbdns, and people like me for pretty much anything.. [21:48] unop: it doesn't run that way, it appends to /etc/inittab [21:49] this way, if it fails, it will respawn [21:49] it's an alternative to init.d startup [21:49] is there a way i can use Recovery mode without the sudo pass [21:49] meteoroid: ubuntu doesn't use inittab afaik [21:49] cause some one hacked the box [21:49] i've used it on all sort of system and never really seen it just not spawn. [21:49] ubunubi: hurumf.. [21:49] what's it doing there, then? ;d [21:49] acid-trip: doesn't recovery mode not need the root password? [21:49] what is this channel for? [21:49] is there an alternative? h ow is init configured? [21:50] acid-trip: I thought it booted into a root shell by default? [21:50] fruddelwlb: English Ubuntu support. [21:50] meteoroid: are you using hardy? [21:50] i see [21:51] meteoroid, well, you have a problem as ubuntu uses upstart instead of sysvinit now -- maybe you can write a wrapper around svscan to test whether it is running at regular intervals, if it isn't start it up again - to achieve the same effect [21:51] ubunubi: yeap.. [21:51] fruddelwlb: why? [21:51] unop: that's not the same effect, that's not how svscan works. it's a smaller program than bash, and designed to be reliable.. [21:51] meteoroid, what does svscan do? [21:52] DanielRM: i was just curious cause ubuntu could mean everything *g* [21:52] it's a process controller [21:52] it runs other services [21:52] manages them [21:52] so if it fails [21:52] it can't wait for some script to run [21:52] and restart it [21:52] meteoroid: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:52] !enter | meteoroid, [21:52] meteoroid,: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [21:52] fruddelwlb: nah. General chat will be somewhere else on FreeNode. [21:52] Hello folks. I'm running Ubuntu Studio 8.04, on an iMac. My issue is that whenever I keypress one of the regular keyboard keys (A-Z, not modifiers like Ctrl) the mouse stops working for a fraction of a second. After that, it jumps to wherever the pointer should have been and continues working as usual. I work a lot with Inkscape, so this really gets in the way of my workflow. Anyone knows what may be the cause of this behavior? [21:53] All of a sudden exiting to GDM from openbox hangs (have to ctl+alt+backspace to get to GDM) any clue how to find out what causing this? [21:53] meteoroid, well, you don't have to get svscan to wait for a script to start it -- just use the script as a failsafe for when svscan fails [21:54] yes but that's what init does [21:54] meteoroid: maybe take a look at Upstarts documentation https://launchpad.net/upstart and see if you can find a inittab equivalent process [21:54] what file holds the preferences i put in "sessions" for gnome (things that start when i log in)? [21:54] i am looking at it.. it has examples based on inittab. svscan should be treated like a virtual terminal or something, more or less, or XDM.. on our system, it is the core of everything.. [21:55] anyway, thanks for the input, i guess i forgot that we upgraded and thus thought that having inittab was a sign that we were using it, when in fact it's probably just a holdover from pre-hardy. [21:55] i will sort it out [21:55] Is there an alternative to X? [21:55] Y? [21:55] what software examines/blocks sshd access to a computer? It updates the hosts.deny file. [21:55] what happens if i press ctrl+alt+backspace in upuntu os? [21:55] -p +b [21:55] gregbrady: denyhosts will do that [21:55] meteoroid: https://launchpad.net/products/upstart/+spec/job-failed-event [21:56] fruddelw1b, that kills your current X session [21:56] i see [21:56] rabiddachshund, theres the 'xorg' version of X and the 'xfree' version.. i recall.. If thats waht you want to know.. [21:56] ubunubi: how are gettys handled? this is just like a getty from the standpoint of something like init. [21:56] Hi I am trying to install on ubuntu the package called ubuntustudio-graphics and it keeps coming up with this message ubuntustudio-graphics: [21:56] Depends: gimp-print but it is not going to be installed [21:56] * meteoroid isn't sure he likes upstart, though the idea is noble [21:57] Any idea what to do about it? [21:57] meteoroid: sorry i'm not knowledable enough in that area to answer your question [21:57] i accidentlly typed rm -rf / on my ubuntu box how do i fix it? [21:57] dr_Willis: not really. I guess a better question would be why is my number pad causing a segfault? [21:57] eh, i'll sort it somehow. [21:57] whileimhere, aptitude why-not gimp-print [21:58] oobe, you don't recover from that [21:58] oobe: if you're serious, you're going to want some beer. ;) [21:58] oobe: by reinstalling :P [21:58] Hi guys, I need help about samba and winbind, i joined to domain Nt and i get a error, can someone to help me, please private message me. [21:58] sorry i wasnt serious [21:58] oobe, made backups? [21:58] ubunubi: that is probably the last thing you want to do [21:58] When I try to install gimp-print I get gimp-print: [21:58] Depends: gimp but it is not going to be installed [21:58] when i taught gnu/linux admin courses i preached to be careful about not using -rf flag to rm when not necessary, as it's easy to type something like "rm -rf / etc/httpd/foo.conf" which will remove everything [21:58] GIMP is installed and working. [21:58] rabiddachshund, Hmm.. no idea on that one.. I recall some others in here having keyboard issues after the last round of updates.. as a test. you could try an older kernel. see if it still does it.. (other then that, no idea where to begin troubleshooting() [21:58] lentzy: you should try #samba [21:58] whileimhere, aptitude why-not gimp-print [21:58] hi all. although i installed lirc and started /etc/init.d/lirc, there is no /dev/lirc. any ideas? [21:59] oh ill try that [21:59] unop, if somone was silly enough to type rm -rf / do yo think they would make back ups [21:59] oobe, see what meteoroid just said [21:59] Wireless conenction is not working in HP Pavillion dv6000 laptop [21:59] rm -rf / isn't too bad, sudo rm -rf / on the other hand ... [21:59] Not able to identifty the suitable drivers [21:59] oobe, could you try your jokes on a more appropriate channel ? [22:00] jbroome, Thank you! That was what it was that I could not remember! [22:00] yeah ok im sorry [22:00] hello all. I have to switch PCs. How can i prepare my ubuntu disk to reinstall the new drivers from the new system. It seems that Ubuntu is unable to recognize the new graphics card and stalls after the POST [22:00] Khisanth, removing your home dir is "too bad" [22:00] oh [22:00] how can i get the location of only the currently mounted partitions? [22:00] * meteoroid takes a deep breath every time he types past the slashes in an rm -rf command, as if walking a tightrope [22:00] unop: It returns i gimp Conflicts gimp-print (<= 5.0.1-3) [22:00] and i see meteoroids point [22:00] why did that cut off part of my query? === s`s is now known as s`s{away} [22:01] is anyone familiar with swapping disk drives with Ubuntu? [22:01] hi i have ubuntu 8.04 on one pc and opensuse 10.2 in the other how do i share a folder? [22:01] oobe, so it's not always intentional -- can be entirely accidental -- and there is no excuse for not makin backups [22:01] i just tried to reboot to pick a different kenel and bios doesnt recognize my keyboard. [22:01] pepe22: probably something like samba, depending on your speed/usuability/security needs [22:01] pepe22: simply mount the folder's partition.

[22:08] I'm having bootloader problems. I recently installed another linux os, which seems to have encapsulated my original ubuntu/kubuntu kernel listings--as well as the one windows xp entry--within it's own grub boot menu hierarchy. it allows me to select the ubuntu kernel I want, but when it goes to boot it, I get a grub Error 15: File not found.

[22:09] bill_, probably in one of the ~/.alsa* files/directories [22:09] fruddelw1b: it's possible the grub you have installed may not be uuid setup [22:10] the folder i have to share is /media/disk/Music [22:10] how can i do that through the command line [22:10] Firefishe, can you get to the drive that has ubuntu on [22:10] i've already installed samba [22:10] what do you mean ikonia? [22:10] pepe22, you'll need to edit the samba.conf file, make an entry for your share and restart samba [22:10] fruddelw1b: you've installed another OS, therefore that OS has put it's version of grub on the mbr [22:11] hey does anyone know the best app to sync two locally attached hard drives at a certain time each night? thanks! [22:11] jackstraw, there is no "best" -- but rsync sounds like what you want [22:11] isor: yes, I can mount it all right, and I can reinstall the bootloader from one of the 2 ubuntu kernel's recovery mode; it just won't boot the kernels normally from the recent os boot loader without the error [22:11] jackstraw: rsync [22:11] Firefishe, via the file browser for other linux that is [22:11] *g* ikonia: it seems you answer some other guys question [22:11] thanks [22:11] +s [22:11] fruddelw1b: so it does, sorry [22:12] hey all [22:12] isor: I can mount all my partitions. My problem is booting into ubuntu from the new boot loader menu. I don't know why recovery mode works, but normal mode doesn't. [22:12] Firefishe: look at the settings in the menu.list of the OS you've just installed [22:12] is there any truth to the rumour of adobe making linux versions of photoshop at all? [22:13] Sonistar: no idea, and nothing to do with ubuntu [22:13] Firefishe, if you can open the drive that has ubuntu in the other linux you can cut and paste the menu.lst lines you need to boot ubuntu into the menu/lst for the other linux [22:14] if the SSL lib's are located a /usr/lib/ssl then what am I doing wrong when ./configure --with-ssl=/usr/lib/ssl ? === ShadowXP is now known as Guest95280 [22:15] isor: it's not that simple, as the other os is using the ubuntu/kubuntu entries in a very strange way, by having me select what amounts to a link in the boot menu, first, then the screen blacks out, then brings up the old ubuntu kernel lists, which I can select well enough, but I get that boot error. [22:15] to run rsync at a certain time can i just make a cron job?

[22:22] one more thing..i get a UUID error when i use fsck at the terminal [22:22] I presume I can't use alsamixer when using pulseaudio [22:22] leggs: what command are you using [22:22] inspite of having my UUID in fstab set correctly [22:22] fsck [22:22] leggs: thats it ? [22:22] then fsck -a [22:23] bobertdos: i know of that program, but GIMPS nowhere near a substitute for PS, anyway, theres been some talk between adobe and WINE devs about helping make ps work 100 percent on WINE, but recent a rumour of a native version [22:23] billgoldberg: I have to use the esound backend in kde when using pulseaudio [22:23] leggs: what is the device file for the partition you just changed ?

If you look at the ubuntu listing in the first url paste, that line comes up first at boot time. I select it, then get a listing of the 2nd url paste. I select the '2.6.20-16-generic' kernel (not recovery mode for same) at that point. After that, it attempts to boot, but I get the 'Error 15: File not found' error in grub.

I don't really need the listing at all [22:27] how do you set a partition to active/boot? I can only see the option to set it as boot [22:27] Firefishe, same for the recovery mode opne after first [22:27] oh ok [22:28] Firefishe, prob use # to comment it out [22:28] isor...on the ubuntu menu.lst that is? [22:28] ikonia: ill need a live cd right? [22:28] leggs: yes [22:28] leggs: its clearly ok that it's being mounted though [22:28] riciao [22:29] isor: comment out the 2.6.25 entries?

Java is already set to enabled in my preferences. What can I do to get this installed? [22:30] jackstraw I'll look at running rsync or dd in a cronjob [22:30] leggs: failsafe mode wouldn't change anything [22:30] could someone please help me locate openssl header file?

[22:32] Gun_Smoke_: should do [22:32] I'm trying to get my usb headset to work, I just need sound playback, voice capture isn't neccesary. I selected the usb headset in the sound setting menu, and been poking around in alsamixer to get it working, no luck so far. Anyone got any advice [22:32] * alpha255 is using the mini.iso to install hardy from a local ftp site [22:32] lets say that hypothetically I removed the boot flag from my ubuntu boot partition... could i boot the the livecd and add that boot tag again? [22:33] installer complains it can't find file [22:33] Storrgie: sure [22:33] ikonia: positive?! [22:33] i use this as the alternative install [22:33] Storrgie: yup [22:33] Storrgie: it's just a partition flag [22:33] billgoldberg, remove pulseaudio and disable it. turn on alsa for all. [22:33] what app do I use in ubuntu Gnome to access a remote machine running MS Windows XP? [22:33] Alsa is turned on for all [22:33] whats the command to clear everything in terminal? [22:33] hostname.domain/pub/mirrors/ubuntu/dists/hardy [22:33] Firefishe, so everything is good til you try to load which ubuntu [22:33] billgoldberg, did you remove pulse? [22:33] isor: I think I see what's going on here now. It's looking for the initrd.img for the first line entry (default), but it's not finding it, correct? [22:33] no [22:33] installer says there is no release file [22:34] is that neccessary? [22:34] also tried with /main/binary-i386 tacked on to the end [22:34] Baby_Shambl3s: clear [22:34] Firefishe, yes that what i saw missing is /boot/initrd.img-2.6.25 [22:34] billgoldberg, that did the trick for me. i removed the package and i had to stop the running process of pulseaudio. then alsa started to work just fine. [22:34] ikonia, that shouldve been obvious :'( [22:34] ikonia, nope, not from what I can tell slrn --version nothing about ssl support.. According to the documentation from slrn site it must be compiled for ssl support with ./configure --with-ssl [22:34] Will give it a try [22:35] I can't remember what app I would use to access a remote machine running windows XP, could someone refresh my memory what app in ubuntu/Gnome? [22:35] Hello all. Anyone running an nvidia 8600 card? I need a little driver advice. [22:35] I'm having a hell of a time setting up my dual monitors. I feel as if I'm on the brink. I'm in the Nvidia x server settings and can see both monitors but when I apply the settings the second monitor won't turn on. Any ideas? [22:35] anyone used the mini.iso to install? [22:35] FurryNemesis, what kind of advice do you need? just ask.. :) [22:35] has anyone installed vista to another partition AFTER they installed ubuntu? [22:36] Gun_Smoke_: it is linked against ssl libraries [22:36] to remove pulseaudio, would apt-get autoremove pulseaudio --purge do? [22:36] Firefishe, if you look right under that the /boot/initrd.img-2.6.25 is missing in the recovery mode one too [22:36]  hey....http://www.abload.de/img/screenshot-29l2.png this is the setup of my partitions, but whilst making it look nice gparted does not supply any (example) hd0,1 names for the partitions...how many partitions are there...2? or 5 how can i move the boot to another partition? [22:36] ikonia, So, i've gave it the ssl lib's with ./configure --with-ssl-/usr/lib/ssl/ [22:36] <__yy_> Storrgie: vista will overwrite grub, so you'll need a livecd to fix that.

The former boots into graphics restricted mode, the latter is slightly choppy (full compiz fusion effects) - and it shouldn't be [22:37] jordan_cbr: [22:37] ikonia, which is fine, and then it askes for the headers...

[22:51] <__yy> billll_: sudo apt-get install lynx [22:51] sweet [22:51] I am having troubles loading DBDriver mysql. I've put an explanation of my problem at: http://pastebin.com/mb23133 Anyone got a moment to help me? [22:51] Is there a way to have ubuntu installed on an external hard drive, such that the computer it would be run on (a Vista laptop) doesn't need altering (ie. in terms of boot sectors etc)? The thing that stopped me dual-booting in the past is how much bootloaders and the like mess up Windows - which I cannot afford to have happen. I want an ubuntu installation without this risk [22:51] Billll-> perhaps its has changed to elinks ? [22:51] Is it possible to ssh a Ubuntu machine from XP? And can you run apps from the XP machine? [22:51] Ben yes its possible [22:51] Ben: try vmware [22:51] isor: Same error. I just manually pasted the boot error here: http://rafb.net/p/tr1IyI95.nln.html [22:52] amenado I looked it's based off lynx apprenlty maybe i should try out elink? [22:52] gregbrady, yeah, just run a terminal program such as putty [22:52] or vitural box [22:52] <__yy> Ben: google wubi, It's a way to install ubuntu to a file inside of windows. [22:52] Ben your bios just have to support booting off of a usb drive [22:52] does anyone have experience with RutilT WLAN manager? [22:52] Which it almost certainly will [22:52] Firefishe, only other thing i see is all point to hd0,2 is that the right drive [22:52] mine keeps freezing after configuration [22:52] Billll-> yes, the newer name is elink [22:52] ahh okay [22:52] didn't know [22:52] saki, thanks! [22:52] thank you amenado [22:53] gregbrady, no problem [22:53] hi everyone [22:53] in grub-speak, hd (0,2) is the third partition, correct? /dev/hda3 or /dev/sda3, respectively? [22:53] hello [22:53] amenado: so you're saying it can be done without the use of virtual machines as others seem to be suggesting? [22:53] I only have a 128k ram stick on this machien so I'm worknig with what i got =P [22:53] billll_-> you're welcome [22:53] does anyone have experience with RutilT WLAN manager? [22:53] hi i want to kill my ubuntu with the command sudo rm -rf / [22:54] Ben affirmative [22:54] isor: in grub-speak, hd (0,2) is the third partition, correct? /dev/hda3 or /dev/sda3, respectively? [22:54] I cant get vista to install on a partition... has anyone installed after they setup ubuntu? [22:54] ls [22:54] gregbrady: yes you can ssh from xp to Ubuntu [22:54] does anyone have experience with RutilT WLAN manager? [22:54] Firefishe, yes [22:54] hey guys i'm using a rather old version of k3b to write my hardy livecd, i can't boot from anything i've burned, and yet i'm pretty sure i'm burning on the lowest speed allowed, if it matters i have CD-R media but a CD-RW burner (i wouldn't assume that's the problem but it's worth mentioning right?) i don't think disk reading is busted because right now an ancient dapper disk of mine is loading just fine [22:54] ?? [22:54] leafpad is pretty good at keeping system resources down [22:54] isor: then that's correct. By all rights, it should be booting. [22:55] runes, Yes, I got the answer already from sake, but thanks! [22:55] runes, that was saki [22:55] amenado: OK, I'll have a look at that, and wubi (thanks __yy). To be honest I am looking at virtual machines as well but they seem like extra complexity I might do best to avoid [22:55] thanks all [22:55] gregbrady: you're welcome! [22:55] hey folks, anyone out there using x-fi with hardy? I've switched over to OSS and it's working but I can't get the ossxmix to load, it craps out with the error "Mixer device disconnected from system".... googling brings no luck as I don't read russian or french.... any ideas? [22:55] Ademan-> you can mount the iso and look around inside...look for md5sums inside [22:55] isor: what puzzles me is why all those (recovery mode) lines boot just fine. [22:55] how do I connect to the internet wirelessly? [22:55] !easysourcre [22:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about easysourcre [22:55] !easysource [22:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about easysource [22:56] Has anyone installed vista after Ubuntu?!?!?! [22:56] !songbird [22:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about songbird [22:56] amenado: mount the cd itself? or the iso? because the iso's checksum is correct [22:56] Firefishe, b4 you installed suse that is the menu.lst that ubuntu loaded from right did you edit anything after installing suse [22:56] Stormx2-> yes ina different machines afterwards [22:56] nonewmsgs: what do you want [22:56] amenado: Err, what? [22:56] Storrgie: yes, I have, what's the problem you're having? [22:56] Storrgie: nope, vista overwrites the bootloader and pretty much screws you/grub, i would avoid that like the plague [22:56] if I installed older version of ubuntu 8.04 with firefox 3.0 beta 4 it will update automaticly? [22:57] Im having difficulty opening my vm. Getting a message telling me /tmp is full. df shows /tmp as being only 1024 I do not recall creating a separate slice for /tmp and have never had this problem before. What do I do? [22:57] Ademan-> yeah mount the cd itself since you have burnt it, you can check whats inside [22:57] JuJuBee, yes [22:57] to 3.0 final [22:57] amenado: alright thanks [22:57] isor: nope... [22:57] MrObvious: Please /msg ubotu if it's for yourself. [22:57] Stormx2-> yes its for Storrgie [22:57] or ubottu as it is now. [22:57] anyone got an nvidia 8600 or similar? [22:57] amenado: you have done it? [22:57] Thought I was going crazy there for a moment... [22:57] Any suggestions? [22:58] Storrgie yes on a different machine :P [22:58] FurryNemesis, What do you need? [22:58] Ademan: most any windows install takes over the MBR and kills grub/lilo in the process -- just boot from a live cd and re-run grub [22:58] is anyone here aware/msg ubottu etiquette [22:58] woops [22:58] isor: do you think it's because one os uses /dev/sda, and the other, ubuntu, /dev/hda for the drive parameters? Ubuntu's use of /dev/hda for my one IDE disk, makes more sense to me. [22:58] nonewmsgs: why did you call ops [22:58] Abdiel: yes wh ? [22:58] recommendations for the right driver - ie what exp ppl have had === gardar`afk is now known as gardar [22:58] FurryNemesis: similar in that I'm running an geforce7 card.. [22:58] ikonia: "mm" [22:58] M_Cheevy: PM acceptable [22:58] M_Cheevy: yeah, it's really annoying, i had that experience with XP, i had heard somewhere somehow that vista was twice as evil that way or something [22:58] amenado: PM acceptable? [22:58] mneptok: ahhh you answered it, I can't see it my last log [22:58] FurryNemesis, I typically use nVidia's drivers [22:59] I'll just go ahead, this seems importat... [22:59] FurryNemesis: there's a good FAQ on the ubuntu wiki [22:59] so what's the simplest way to burn an 8.04.1 cd from the .iso? growisofs doesn't like non-dvd images [22:59] The filesystem for /tmp is listed as overflow... ? [22:59] Storrgie: go ahead [22:59] So I'm doing some shopping on good ol' newegg and I'm trying to decide whether or not I should go for dual displays or just one large display... Any thoughts? [22:59] oops, guess where \I forgot to look? [22:59] thanks for reminding me [22:59] mad: dual has some benefits [22:59] madfrancis go for two large displays [22:59] solrize, cdrecord ? [22:59] !pm | Storrgie [22:59] Storrgie: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you.

I'm def leaning towards two displays but I don't know what size. [23:00] !language | lunxer [23:00] madfrancis : personally, I like dual, but dual large is even better :) [23:00] lunxer: that language is not acceptable [23:00] lunxer: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [23:00] joaopinto heh, cdrecord is installed but not its man page [23:00] I'm thinking dual 24" would suffice. [23:00] Furry: getting xinerama setup can be a bit of a chore though [23:00] solrize, the --help should be sufficient :) [23:00] madfrancis to use larger than 24" you need dual link dvi [23:00] mad: yeap, that should do ya ;) [23:00] Is anyone here aware that Best Buy is selling a version of ubuntu that's just coupled with a few freeware programs? they're selling the CD for 20$ and their installation fee (for someone else to go through the completely automated GUI) is 130$ [23:00] Ademan: When i boot into the vista installer and try to select the drive i want to install to, it gives me the error "Windows is unable to find a system volume that meets its criteria for installation" [23:00] anybody on /tmp only 1024? I need to get at the vm and currently I cannot. [23:01] Abdiel: Problem? [23:01] hmmmm. Will I be able to utilize the dual 24" w/ 2x nvidia 9600's in SLI mode? [23:01] cdrecord spews tons of error messages [23:01] Storrgie: make sure you have a clean ntfs partition already made [23:01] Bug #241965 [23:01] Launchpad bug 241965 in mono "Missing a transitional package for "mono" to "mono-runtime"" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/241965 [23:01] I thought that ubuntu was free and that a company wouldn't be allowed to sell it [23:01] M_Cheevy: how could i do that? [23:01] Storrgie: needs to be a primary partition on hd0 [23:01] is there any way that I can play wmv videos in 64bit mplayer ??? [23:01] Abdiel: are you talking about best buy [23:01] ? [23:01] abiel, ubuntu is free, but people are allowed to charge for it [23:02] Firefishe, ubuntu it self uses /dev/sda3 grub use hd0 [23:02] Storrgie: I have always loved Partition Magic for those sorts of tasks [23:02] isor: the 2.6.20-15-generic image doesn't want to boot, either. I can boot into recovery mode, and reset the boot loader, but then I can't boot the other os. It's purplexing. [23:02] yes best buy [23:02] Abdiel, there is nothing forbidding open source software from being sold [23:02] Storrgie: but good old fdisk should do the trick [23:02] can somebody tell me why this isn't working? http://cxg.de/?id=VUZpWkRBqFKwhdj i want to install the driver for my creative xfi audio extreme [23:02] anyway, that is probably #ubuntu-offtopic [23:02] yeah... well best buy is whack. They sell 3" sata cables for $26.99 when they're only $2.99 on newegg [23:02] Hmm, okay [23:02] M_Cheevy: Ill try using the gparted boot CD [23:02] If a person is dumb enough to pay it than they deserve to be ripped. [23:03] Michse: are you trying to use the creative labs beta driver? [23:03] M_Cheevy, yes [23:03] Abdiel: that sounds fucked up :/ [23:03] Storrgie: that should do it.

I hit enter just as that message went out the first time [23:04] wasn't meant in a hostile way :) [23:04] Firefishe, comment out all the savedefault lines in ubuntu menu.lst [23:04] oh heh, i left out the whole dev=stuff and it found the cd drive [23:04] isor: what's strange, is that the other os's menu.lst uses the /dev/sda method, while the ubuntu menu.lst, uses /dev/hda. [23:04] isor: I wonder if grub is getting confuzzled. [23:04] anyone in here a cups guru? [23:05] I'm having some issues setting up a network. Currently, the network is called Windows Network, because we used to run Windows, but we're switching to Ubuntu Hardy and we'd like to read the network. I've tried the manual configuration sticky but most commands don't work, they just start a new prompt with no change. [23:05] oh great it's not showing any progress info i just have to sit back til it finishes [23:05] btw, how can one get the UUIDs for the harddrives for fstab [23:05] M_Cheevy, blkid [23:05] hello, why does ubuntu choose to disable root as use sudo only? and if its such a great idea why do few other linux distros do this? [23:05] isor: I'd be happier if I could just re-install the ubuntu grub bootloader, then make an entry for the other os. I've tried, this, but I can't seem to get the other os's entry correct. [23:05] !rootsudo | MaxHeadroom [23:05] MaxHeadroom: 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) [23:06] thanks joa === jeroen---- is now known as jeroen- [23:06] user + file security...... ..... ...... is there any good site that explains howto setup file drive security????? [23:06] Drel: look for the linux documentation project (LDP)... there's the Network Administrator's Guide (NAG)... it will tell you more than everything you need to know about setting up a tcp/ip network with linux [23:06] im trying to setup a virtual printer that doesnt print pdfs but tiffs instead. ANyone got any ideas on how to do that? [23:06] Bora, you mean something like truecrypt ? [23:06] isor: what would be the penalty of removing the 'savedefault' line in ubuntu's menu.lst file? [23:07] joaopinto: i mean what user should see folders of what drive [23:07] Firefishe, no penalty but i don't believe it's needed [23:07] M_Cheevy: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ [23:07] snarkster: not sure if ghostscript is still around but memory serves it might handle it. [23:07] I now use bogfilter with a Berkely DB backend, I see there is also an SQLite backend. Can I better use that one? I use it with a mailclient (kmail) [23:08] hi i was wondering if anyone else had this problem with wifi === mehteenager is now known as MrObvious [23:08] bogfilter=bogofilter [23:08] Bora, you need a tutorial about how unix/linux permissions work, you can find them easly on google [23:08] isor: I get the error after that line is parsed, so I wonder if it's not recognizing the location of a save file or something. [23:08] Bora, eventually it is also described on help.ubuntu.com [23:08] M_Cheevy thanks for the info, but thats a two step process.. print to pdf then convert to tiff.. faster to just print to tiff as windows does. [23:08] i got an hp and it has a button for the wifi and it comes on auto when windows starts [23:08] or when i press it [23:08] snarkster: it was a shot ;) [23:08] and if windows can do it linux can do it better. [23:08] Thank you M_Cheevy, I will try that and come back if it does not work. [23:09] joaopinto: i have 2 users on my system, administrator and andro i want administrator see everything but andro not see any thing on hard 2 [23:09] brb === Firefishe is now known as Firefishe_away [23:09] just have to figure out how to make it do it [23:09] is the LDP still being maintained (now that I've sent someone there)? [23:09] is there a way to make the windows driver work with the buttons? [23:09] joaopinto: seems like having a seperate root password emphizises that you're doing something serious more than just typing your same password [23:09] I can not access the internet on my ubuntu 8.04 but i can access local adddress. It seems that it canot resolve dns names [23:09] Firefishe, you can either comment it out or when it goes from the suse to ubuntu grub you could hit e then scroll toi the savedefault line and take it out then boot [23:10] Anyone know why an install of mdadm would break my system_ [23:10] when i did the test it shows it working but not enabled [23:10] cdrecord --help writes message to stderr instead of stdout so you can't pipe it through more [23:11] MaxHeadroom: I wish people wouldn't be so quick to invoke the automated responses :p My take on the whole sudo approach has always been this: Ubuntu is fast becoming one of the most common Linux distros that Windows users are migrating to. Therefore, I've always viewed Ubuntu's use of sudo as a means of protecting novice users from themselves. [23:11] MaxHeadroom, you don't accidentally run a sudo application, the password purpose is not to emphasize :) [23:11] Firefishe_away, i gotta go make dinner [23:11] I still doing see how sudo is more protective, can't you do equal damage as sudo and as root? [23:11] MaxHeadroom, and there are major drawbacks of using shared accounts like "root", anyway, this is not a debate channel, that would be #ubuntu-offtopic [23:12] joaopinto: i used "nautilus" to setup folder security and then i use "users and groups" to setup administrator as "root" group... but still admnistrator not able to view anything on harddrive 2 [23:12] MaxHeadroom, with sudo, you usually do "sudo command_for_a_specific_action", while using root, you do "all_commands that I need to run, regardless of their requirement" [23:12] MaxHeadroom, here's some info about it as well https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:12] can anyone copy their sudoer's file to a pastebin? [23:13] joaopinto: not trying to debate, just understand, obviously my knowledge of why this decision was made is not as great as others have [23:13] MaxHeadroom, you also want to use gksudo instead of sudo, if the program has a GUI [23:13] I have a couple of questions if anyone is available to help me 1 on 1 with some Ubuntu things? [23:13] any1 have an hp laptop? [23:14] !anyone | Semulate [23:14] Semulate: 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? [23:14] Basically there's no reason to have a loginable root account, so why have one [23:14] so then sudo account in ubuntu has far less rights than root would? [23:14] Semulate, help with? [23:14] Azzmodan, because sudo is lame [23:14] No the same [23:14] i quit, i had with ubuntu, nothing but problem grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr [23:14] you fail [23:14] sudo still uses the root account, you could even do sudo su, or sudo -s and get a root shell [23:14] i booted the 8.04.1 cd and selected "check integrity of the cdrom" and it booted into busybox [23:14] everything is a fight with it' [23:15] does'nt say how to check the cd [23:15] MaxHeadroom: Actually, you SHOULD read the RootSudo entry in the wiki, it does explain the benefits of sudo over su. [23:15] now spewing sysmessages [23:15] kernel panic [23:15] hardware error [23:15] Yeah the RootSudo entry is pretty decent [23:15] hi guys, quick question: how do I know if I'm running 8.04.1 LTS? [23:15] heyy [23:15] bobertdos: I already read that, only benefit I see is the walking away from your terminal time out [23:15] I can understand not having root X login, many distros disable that, but not having root at console or for acessing the system guis is mysterious to me [23:15] question: my laptop has a button for wifi in the os it shows its there but its not enable [23:15] nuit!! [23:15] e-zak: if you've been updating all the time you are there now. [23:15] When im making 100s of changes typing sudo before everythingis just annoying [23:15] anybody good with math problems here? [23:15] <[Michelangelo]> Hi guys [23:16] MaxHeadroom, what benefit would having the root account give you over using sudo?

[23:17] these two things sound good, though over my head "Allows easy transfer for admin rights, in a short term or long term period, by adding and removing users from groups, while not compromising the root account. sudo can be setup with a much more fine-grained security policy [23:17] <[Michelangelo]> my Laptop is the Vaio VGN-AR31S [23:17] !intelHDA | [Michelangelo] [23:17] [Michelangelo]: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [23:17] anyone know what 21.65e^0.65 is?

I found Reiser to be faster on sata drives .. especially if they are larger. If you want the drive to have compatibility with Windows (after installing the appropriate driver) go with ext3..

[23:34] ikonia: I'm posting this on the forums so I can include screenshots of the errors. [23:34] Baby_Shambl3s: read this - https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/add-applications/C/index.html [23:34] ikonia: nope just random sites [23:34] <__yy> Vikketor1: then I don't think you're going to be able to get them, if there are no files there then even your kernel doesn't know the answer.

[23:48] ikonia: The title is "How To: Manual Network Configuration without the need for Network Manager" [23:48] put ssh -X [23:48] dr_willis: no offense, but I'm stuck with GUI... my ways are set :( [23:48] hi I've got a problem with the alternative+network (8.04) installation, it stops when searching the Mirror [23:48] bounty, i would imagine you are using it wrongly? copy the config file to the proper name and close/restart conky perhaps? [23:48] Dre1: read down [23:49] gregbrady: put ssh -X [23:49] stops at the following line: wget -q http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/Release -Q - | grep ^Suite: | cut -d'' -f 2 [23:49] mynetdude, with that logic we would all still be using DOS.... :P [23:49] Dre1: Im discovering many individuals having problems connecting through Network Manager or other GUI wireless connection tool [23:49] KenBW2, it does not allow that. It starts up with a gui interface. [23:49] Dre1: the first heading is Unencrypted/ WEP / WPA connections will be covered in this guide. [23:49] Dre1: WEP/WPA are wirless networks [23:49] ikonia: just noticed the dependencies in synaptic for php wont install mysql yet i know that there is a tut "cant rememer it exactly" that install all of it i.e. apache2, php, mysql and lamp i think not sure ont he last one... you wouldnt know by chance [23:49] gregbrady: I'm just guessing with what I do with my Linux boxen [23:49] dr_willis: which one? some only using cli only? Well there's freedos [23:49] Dre1: then the text says There may be multiple interfaces listed, however look under the section appropriate to your wireless devic [23:49] or the logic my ways is stuck to GUI? [23:49] KenBW2, yup, got you [23:49] dr_willis thanks it work ! [23:50] mynetdude, I was into CP/M :) back then.. heh.. [23:50] KenBW2, me too [23:50] hi, is there any way to scheduyle some application (amarok actually) to quit in some time? [23:50] Dre1: how can you not have read any of this when blindly typing in commands [23:50] I only use CLI on my servers [23:50] gregbrady: lol. doesnt it say on their site? [23:50] waste of resources to have x even installed [23:50] dr_willis: you're old then, I have no idea what CP/M is [23:50] ikonia: Ok, I screwed up. Now, are you going to help me, or keep insulting me? [23:50] KenBW2, not really [23:50] :P [23:50] hello [23:50] Baby_Shambl3s: install the mysql-server package [23:50] is there anyone who uses emule? [23:50] gregbrady: useful... [23:50] Dre1: I'm not insulting you [23:50] I cant get high id [23:50] mynetdude, heh - an early OS, ran on Z80 cpu's [23:50] Does anyone knows how to set it [23:50] ? [23:50] KenBW2, I'm sure there is a way. It does have a place for a display location [23:51] * mynetdude recalls a bit about z80 not much [23:51] KenBW2, I have no idea what that means [23:51] !find cpm [23:51] Found: cpmtools [23:51] !info cpmtools [23:51] cpmtools (source: cpmtools): Tools to access CP/M file systems. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.5-1 (hardy), package size 72 kB, installed size 340 kB [23:51] ikonia: Right. Now can you tell me what I should be doing? [23:51] Dre1: first bit of reading https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/newtoubuntu/C/index.html [23:51] gregbrady: i know my mum's laptop uses puTTY somewhere and she receives graphival apps across the internet. although they're both running Windows [23:51] Dre1: that guide should get you "aware" of ubuntu [23:51] can anyone help me, i dont know how to download programs without using synaptic. [23:51] ikonia: isnt there a way to install all three consecutively? [23:51] sure [23:51] alec [23:51] Baby_Shambl3s: does it matter, just install them [23:51] alec: you might be best using Applications > Add/Remove... [23:51] what do you need to download [23:52] Dre1: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/index.html this explains the differences in migrating from windows to linux [23:52] Firefishe, did it work [23:52] dr_willis: I take it you still use CP/M with the linux ability to use it? [23:52] KenBW2, Yeah, I can picture that working easily....but I need access to X apps on my Ubuntu box. I hate running XP, but my laptop will run nothing but or it overheats like crazy. [23:52] Dre1: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/internet/C/basics.html explains the basics of networking under ubuntu [23:52] ikonia: Thanks for the guide. I'll be sure to read it 6 months ago when I first started using Ubuntu back in the 7.10 days before I decided that I needed to convert an entire household instead of just one computer. [23:52] Dre1: how are the ? === Spec is now known as x-spec-t [23:52] oldschool.... i have to maintain a damn VAX :( [23:52] well anytime i want to download something that isnt in a repository thats in my system aready i cant. [23:52] gregbrady: it overheats on XP? :S [23:53] KenBW2, No, with any flavour of Linux. [23:53] Dre1: ok, enjoy the guides, they are good and should be a solid grounding to get you running [23:53] KenBW2, With XP it runs very cool. [23:53] alec: if it isn't in the repo you cant use Synaptic [23:53] hi I've got a problem with the alternative+network (8.04) installation, it stops when searching the Mirror, already tried different internet connections and mirrors [23:53] kenbw2: how do you mean? [23:53] mynetdude, not needed it for years. I tend to collect emulators of old pc/systems. I got a Timex Sinclare hanging on the wall, a vic20 and C64 in the garrage and some amigas laying about. [23:53] mynetdude, for a laugh check out http://goosh.org/ [23:54] You can ad outside repos [23:54] ikonia: i think it does because ive read that installin one before the other may make one of the module/packages work independently instead of being setup to work together [23:54] I need Just a Tidge of help Please, Im having a netword problem, I cant seem to Connect to My wireless network, Says there is no network connections [23:54] Baby_Shambl3s: it doesnt matter [23:54] alec: if it isn't in a repo you can't use synaptic. However you can add a lot of repositories to synaptic. You can always look for .deb packages or for .tar.gz packages [23:54] Baby_Shambl3s: install the packages [23:54] I"m having problems getting my Nvidia drive to "stick", this includes the restricted drivers, and the one off nvidia. [23:54] those can be installed without synaptic [23:54] alec: the point in Synaptic is to download from the repositories [23:55] well i guess my question is then how can i download stuff that isnt in either [23:55] resolution is too small when i enable accelerated drivers [23:55] j #ubuntu-it === aire is now known as windryder [23:56] "/server irc.p2p-network.net [23:56] alec: go on the internet, search for the program. Either look for a .deb installer or the .tar.gz file [23:56] Right. Now, can anyone help me with this issue? I haven't found a decent guide on my particular situation right now and I'd like to get this fixed. Forum link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5347058 [23:56] i need help [23:56] the latter has to be compiled form source [23:56] OUTOFRETIREMENT, you mean 'low' ? as in 600x800 res? or to HIGH as in 1050x1080 or somthing?

[23:56] 5200fx [23:56] Dre1: and I've answered your post - your using a guide thats for wirless networks, and you don't have a wirless netowrk [23:56] billgoldberg:and will it then be available in either add remove or synaptic [23:56] ? [23:57] OUTOFRETIREMENT, when i use my nvidia cards. I often have to tweak the settings with the 'nvidia-settings' tool thats installable from the package manager [23:57] ikonia: ok will do so [23:57] Baby_Shambl3s: cool [23:57] alec, man dpkg [23:57] ok let me check [23:57] if you install it with "checkinstall" yes, the deb package will be in synaptic [23:57] dr_willis: pretty cool, limited but its neat [23:57] ikonia: Actually, I do. There are two computers that connect wirelessly. If you had read my post instead of typing in words to your IRC client blindly, you would have noticed that. Please do not answer any of my questions any more. [23:57] i have that already [23:58] hello [23:58] how to disable the double-klick in ubuntu-GNOME?

[23:59] khin: are you unmounting the drive properly? [23:59] no
