[00:00] eross: I haven't had any problems with 64bit Ubuntu, but I suppose it depends on your hardware and what programs you use and how you use them. [00:00] Hey I am back [00:00] has any one a fz series sony laptop with brightness working on the gnome applet or with fn-keys ? [00:00] amatson97: the files mentioned by the configure script are probably named slightly different in the package manager .. can you give us an example of one you are not able to find ?

[00:02] eross: I don't program or game, but do use my desktop normally, and it's been a breeze. I like it much better. I find a bit of a difference in speed/ load on the computer, although not too much. I'd say it makes a difference. [00:02] Bakuno: change from what? [00:02] Thanks Shane [00:02] yoohoo! how come the nvidia X driver is missing after envyNG installation?

[00:07] on Synaptic Package Manager? [00:07] my problem: firefox doesn't play sound if there are other applications running that play sound already; tried aoss and on some forums i read that i should change an entry in the firefoxrc, which i couldn't find on my computer; i have firefox 3 and ubuntu 8.04 [00:07] "which Perl' [00:07] Atomhunter: look at the section "Installing the development version" in http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/install/ [00:07] gordonjcp: you said flash is not that good, what program can i replace flash it with ??? to get rid om my problem ...

[00:08] gaile, how do u know its not there [00:08] Atomhunter: you'll probably want to install subversion [00:08] gordonjcp: you dont watch youtube ??? [00:09] gordonjcp: , thank you for your answer [00:09] matthias_N: not really [00:09] matthias_N: when I do, I don't seem to have problems [00:09] kk its in usr/bin/perl ty [00:09] pvl1, from System-->Administration-->Nvidia X server settings [00:09] Bakuno: "which" is a handy command, isn't it? [00:09] ali__: allright! not that I could help you I guess, but you said you had no permission, it's not that you're not root? [00:09] edju, it shouldnt be, but the bios might not know to get to the external to load grub [00:09] sloucher, pan is missing a lot of features, no list to manage files in queue , no pause / resume button [00:09] After suspend I need to reload one of the kernel modules to make sound work. How can I do it? [00:10] can anyone send me link for latest ETQW linux client? [00:10] gaile, does compiz still work? envy doesnt install the propriety stuff usually, like xserver could still work [00:10] gordonjcp: then why do you say flash is bad ???, Well never mind .. [00:10] matthias_N: there are a lot of things wrong with flash [00:10] When I try to play a dvd in gxine I get this error: Error opening vtsN=-1, domain=2. I can't play it in VLC either. [00:10] I got Starcraft working [00:10] matthias_N: it goes wrong in weird unpredictable ways, and because it's closed-source no-one can fix it [00:11] pvl1, xserver is working, but i just want to change my desktop settings.. when i do i got this error nvidia X driver missing [00:11] Neverwinter Nights 2 crashes at end of setup as it cannot find the right DX app under Wine...? [00:11] pvl1: OK. the BIOS does know. guess I have to mess with menu.lst, then. what goes in the root= line? UUID is not working. [00:11] Flannel: sorted now, thanks for your time. [00:11] hi i want to know what is raptor? [00:11] Can anyone get me link fr latest Enemy Territory Quake Wars linux client? [00:12] gordonjcp:damn that truck takes a bit [00:12] Can anyone help me recover my graphics? [00:12] my problem: firefox doesn't play sound if there are other applications running that play sound already; tried aoss and on some forums i read that i should change an entry in the firefoxrc, which i couldn't find on my computer; i have firefox 3 and ubuntu 8.04 [00:12] Can anyone get me link fr latest Enemy Territory Quake Wars linux client pls? [00:12] Bakuno, the people in #winehq can probably answer those questions better than us [00:12] gronne: i think i am root [00:12] gronne: im the only user on this comp [00:12] Bakuno: http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/etqw/ [00:12] gronne: and i just installed ubuntu yesterday [00:12] ok thanks [00:12] Atomhunter: truck? [00:12] gaile, how r u trying to change it [00:12] Atomhunter: it's probably worth taking some time to familiarise yourself with subversion [00:12] I connected a diy IR receiver to my computer's com port: is there a low-level way to make sure it's sending data to the port? [00:12] Atomhunter: if you do any serious coding, you'll want to use it [00:13] ty guys u helped alot I am still learning the ways of Linux so bear with me ok? ciao [00:13] edju, grub should be able to make a menu.lst on its own [00:13] pvli, through GUI : Sytem->Administration->Nvidia X settings [00:13] Atomhunter: that or some similar source control system [00:13] pvli, and sudo nvidia-settings [00:13] ali__, open a terminal type sudo -i it will ask for root pw then type gedit then open and edit the config file [00:13] K0e, try running "killall pulseaudio" in the terminal. See what happens, if that fixes it, just change your defaults from pulseaudio to ALSA [00:14] edju, trying running 'sudo update-grub' [00:14] ali__: sure, but you're rarely root even if you're the sole user.. did you install it through the terminal? then you have to write sudo before you write aptitude install tor [00:14] Atomhunter: incidentally there are two schools of thought on this - some say you should stick to the stable release of Django, some say you should stick to trunk [00:14] Atomhunter: I fall into the latter group [00:14] ali__: sudo is the command you write to become root, and you will notice it often when it says "no permission" [00:14] gaile, have u tried editng xorg by hand [00:15] Wow,, seems heron doen't like dark themes at all.. [00:15] hey gaile, when i did system>admin>nvidia x settings i got this rror: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server [00:15] I get this error now in totem: The source seems encrypted, and can't be read. Are you trying to play an encrypted DVD without libdvdcss. I'm sure that libdvdcss is installed. any ideas [00:15] hery hardon is a great distro! [00:15] pvl1: i don't want to mess with the mbr on the internal drive - does update-grub" do that? I ran grub, root=(hd1,4), and setup. [00:15] Any one using a dark theme on heron? [00:15] pvli, yes i did.. how to call the nvidia driver through xorg.conf? [00:15] any ideas on how to get a progress bar when copying files to my mp3 player or cellphone? [00:15] help with graphics, please! [00:15] hey guys is it possible to apt-get the FreeType package? i can't find its name.. freetype and FreeType neither work [00:16] Is the Intel 4965 ABGN WiFi chip supported in Ubuntu(8.04)? [00:16] edju, grub can only work on itself, so it shouldnt be able to install itself on the internal, but im not too sure [00:16] ok, pulseaudio kills totem; my defaults are ALSA already [00:16] vaportrailnew123, yah thats my problem also [00:16] Matthew12, did u install the restricteds? [00:16] hmmm [00:16] i have an idea [00:16] sry, killall pulseaudio kills totem [00:16] pvl1: ahh, crap. i don't want grub on the internal. [00:16] Hello, I am hoping somebody can help me out with this problem or direct me to some resources. I have read and attempted solutions from the wiki and ubuntu forums, not sure if this is an ubuntu only problem. [00:17] The problem is that I have several websites that will not load and I cannot ping, such as papajohns.com, oprah.com, cbs4denver.com, yet other websites work with no problem. I have verified they are resolving correctly by changing dns servers several times, running my own caching name server and verifying via a domain - ip lookup. I can go to a proxy that just displays the page in a frame and it loads fine. If I try to use an external proxy from firefox [00:17] , other sites still work (slowly) and those do not. Any ideas or any more information helpful? And, my XP box is not having these issues. [00:17] banisterfiend: freetype should work... sudo apt-get install freetype [00:17] try going into the actual xconfig as sudo and manually change the configerured device to device0 or whatever [00:17] edju, im pretty sure it cant do that, update should just change the menu.lst [00:17] pvl1: in package manager I see that libdvdcss2 is indeed installed already [00:17] ?? [00:17] pvl1: OK, will give it a shot. Thanks. [00:17] Matthew12, no the restricted pacakge not that [00:17] williams, Have you checked the firewall? (Disable it to test) [00:17] hold on [00:17] gronne, wen i typed that it did this: Reading package lists... Done [00:17] Building dependency tree [00:17] Reading state information... Done [00:17] Package freetype is not available, but is referred to by another package. [00:17] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [00:17] is only available from another source [00:18] E: Package freetype has no installation candidate [00:18] !enter | banisterfiend: [00:18] banisterfiend:: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:18] yes, in fact i have disabled on the ubuntu machine (both machines) and the gateway (briefly to test) [00:18] sorry [00:18] how do i open a text file in terminal [00:18] banisterfiend: apt-cache search freetype [00:18] !patebin | banisterfiend [00:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about patebin [00:18] vaportrailnew123, gedit or nano [00:18] banisterfiend: have you tried searching for it in synaptic? [00:18] everytime i open an application of a browser or a file browser why does my title bar always hide under the top panel? [00:18] pvl1: could you enlighten me? I do have the medibuntu repository installed [00:18] for some reason firefox has started segfaulting when going to paypal - any ideas why? [00:18] banisterfiend: in synaptic you can search for any package by name and/or description .. libfreetype6 might be what you're after, not sure [00:18] !pastebin | banisterfiend [00:18] banisterfiend: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [00:18] whats the command line gonna look lik [00:18] banisterfiend: the package is freetype6 [00:18] vaportrailnew123, er nano ./file [00:19] Do I have to do anything special to my ETQW for linux as I already have current Windows patch installed [00:19] I have been working on this all day and am out of ideas now. [00:19] vaportrailnew123, nano or gedit [00:19] williams, then I'm not sure; it could really be anywhere... done traceroute and the like? tested packets between the ubuntu box and firewall? [00:19] thnx [00:19] voportrailnew123, gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:19] there ya go gail lol [00:19] Do I have to do anything special to my ETQW for linux as I already have current Windows patch installed or does the installshield act like a normal pacth pasting over windows version? [00:19] hope its right path.. [00:19] williams, by "firewall" there, I mean gateway [00:19] sunc: doesn't it work as well to type sudo apt-get install freetype and press tab twice? [00:19] !vmware [00:19] VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", only for Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers [00:20] Ok, so noone using a dark theme on Heron? [00:20] :/ [00:20] Flannel: apt-get install freetype6 was also not found [00:20] banisterfiend: What version of Ubuntu are you on? [00:20] PorkSoda: ubuntustudio has a fairly dark theme [00:20] gronne: ... no, that does something else entirely [00:20] Matthew12, trying running 'sudo apt-get linux-restricted-modules' [00:20] banisterfiend: sorry, libfreetype6, `apt-cache search freetype` will show you packages [00:20] gordonjcp, Yea, problem is, I've noticed a bug with every dark theme I've tried on Heron. [00:20] Matthew12, to play things like mp3's u have to kind of sign off because tehy can be protected by media rights [00:21] PorkSoda: i do, this might help a bit http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5253997 [00:21] I don't use a printer on my computer -- would it be bad to remove some printer packages? [00:21] Matthew12, especially dvd's [00:21] update - any ideas why firefox is now segfaulting when viewing a page with flash? started happening after the flash update this morning [00:21] everytime i open an application of a browser or a file browser why does my title bar always hide under the top panel? [00:21] jack-desktop: no it would not be bad [00:21] sunc: ok, nice to know! [00:21] what would i need to build my own distro? [00:21] jack-desktop, CUPS and other software is installed as part of the base install. [00:21] pvl1, so I should try disconnecting from the internet? [00:21] sunc: which ones should i remove? [00:21] banisterfiend: did you try synaptic? [00:21] PorkSoda, What bug? I have the studio theme running in another user account [00:21] jack-desktop: any ones you don't want [00:21] is it possible to make totem or mplayer play swf? [00:21] I "want" darklooks theme in the gnome-themes-extras package in the repo, but whenever you install it, the dark setting will not "stick" [00:21] !remaster | ElPando [00:21] ElPando: Interested in remastering the !Ubuntu !LiveCD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use Tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [00:22] Keeps going back to a light theme [00:22] ok, i solved the problem; just removed all packages that are related to pulseaudio [00:22] sunc: i don't want any ;p [00:22] my brain must be fried to not have tried a trace yet, it is running, traced out to ggole ok, it always worked, and now trying to the others that did not [00:22] jack-desktop: then I suggest you remove them all [00:22] Hey all. I'm trying to use a USB microphone and am having issues getting it to record. I've tried using PA, routing to ALSA->PA via .asoundrc, and also just alsa, with minimal luck with ALSA. Any pointers? [00:22] and it is giving me absolutely 0 back [00:22] PorkSoda, That sounds like a permissions thing, or something similar - there should be nothing that says "if dark = break" [00:22] I had upgraded to Heron, and noticed it. Then I completely reinstalled it, for various reasons, and the problem was still there [00:23] Matthew12, no no, go to add remove programs, and search restricted, it should come up, and install ubuntu restricted extras [00:23] What do I need to do to prevent firefox from segfaulting when viewing flash pages? [00:23] keanu, remove flash? [00:23] sunc: when i try to remove "cupsys" it says "to be removed: ubuntu-desktop" [00:23] williams, do you see any logs on the gateway? [00:23] In fact, when I upgraded, it I though it had broke my system, as my whole theme system looked different. And know theme setting carry over to the next upgrade. [00:23] jack-desktop, Go for it, "ubuntu-desktop" is just a meta-package [00:23] pvl1, anyway to fix it without having to remove flash? [00:23] where as google showed my the box, the router, the dsl modem, 3 hops through the isp and to google, this has nothing at all as a response [00:24] josh43: which contains what? [00:24] !metapackage | jack-desktop [00:24] keanu: try the flash player 10 beta 2 from adobe's site, works okay here [00:24] jack-desktop: A meta-package is a package that simply depends upon other packages and brings them in. It's not a real package, but a very useful package that can drag in other package versions. [00:24] the logs do not show any attempts for any of those sites [00:24] keanu, i dont remember exactly, but somewhere in the forum, thers a work around for flash. i knowits a huge problem in linux [00:24] jack-desktop, All apps that make up the desktop; basically it's a list of everything the makers want you to have; uninstalling it doesn't touch the programs, though [00:24] josh43, are you sure? i think u just saved me a lot of time [00:25] help me recover my graphics, please! [00:25] jack-desktop, but it is very useful if you want to do a restore [00:25] gronne, whats wrong? [00:25] jack-desktop, but it is very useful if you want to do a or upgrade [00:25] Matthew12, found it? [00:25] glitsj16, the version in the ubuntu repos is version 10, but I dunno if it's beta 2 [00:25] scratch that, teh dsl modem logs show the attempt trying to go to oprah.com and papajohns.com [00:25] pvl1: ubuntu restricted extras? just found it, testing it now [00:26] Matthew12, okay, good, that should make it work [00:26] stumped installing mysql-server-5.0, fails no matter what I try, launchpad bugs don't correspond to what I'm seeing [00:26] pvl1: I asked some guys to help me install a new driver as I found issues, and they pointed me toward one.. problem is, it turned out after the installation it didn't support my graphics card, and now I don't know how to go back to the default one [00:26] jamon, what r u gonna use mysql for? [00:26] is it possible to make totem play swf (flash movies) ? [00:26] why does "libcupsys2" want to remove compiz? [00:26] oprah.com traces to the box i am on now that i am attempting from and then a lot of no reply [00:26] keanu: can't confirm that, i have it still on 9.0.124 in ubuntu repo, but you might have additional repo's active [00:26] everytime i open an application of a browser or a file browser why does my title bar always hide under the top panel? [00:27] one question: Why ubuntu can think that WIRELESS adapter is an ethernet controller? 0_o I want my WiFi up and working! [00:27] glitsj16, oh - synaptic shows it's in hardy-backports [00:27] i want to buy a USB scanner for ubuntu hardy.... do most scanners work with this setup? is there anything to watch out for?

[00:27] pvl1: It's in low-res and slower, not much working [00:28] why does "libcupsys2" show compiz and about 50 other programs? [00:28] keanu: that explains the difference allright, i don't have backports active personally .. are you having trouble with the 10 version from that repo ? [00:28] guys pls help me out.... I just tried installing compiz-git for some new plugins and effects [00:28] pvl1: I'd just like to go back to the default drivers [00:29] but I am now not able to even enable the desktop effects [00:29] pvl1: i've cleaned it out and tried installing a few times, with and without a password [00:29] ok, anyone know how to get raw output from a COM port? [00:29] Did I break something in my firefox or is brainstorm.ubuntu.com down? [00:29] e.g. dpkg -l |grep mysql |awk '{print $2}'|xargs dpkg --purge [00:29] pls help me guys [00:29] kushalsejwal: Remove compiz-git [00:29] glitsj16, yes. If I don't view the tab with the flash, firefox is fine. However, as soon as I click the tab with flash (for example, Paypal) it crashes [00:29] gronne, oh okay, go into the synaptic manager and look for xserver-xorg-video [00:29] how ??? [00:29] kushalsejwal, do it all backwards, and forget the fancy new things: boredom breaks stuff when you fiddle ;) [00:30] kushalsejwal: Your favorite package manager [00:30] jamon, personally i recommend just installing lampp, but that depends on what u need it for. im not too good with mysql, but lampp hasn't failed me yet [00:30] okay will then the basic ubuntu effects would work?? [00:30] gronne, then look for what you driver is, if you remember it [00:31] pvl1: i'm a postgresql fan, because of this more so ;) [00:31] jamon, how r u installing it tho? compiling, or from the pacakge manager? [00:31] i need help getting my nvidia card to stick, i have to re-isntall it every boot up [00:31] keanu: you could uninstall your present flash, get the 10 beta 2 from adobe and check if that solves the issues, personally i have a troublefree experience in firefox since doing that, and you can always fallback if it didn't work, but it might throw another light on your specific troubles as well .. [00:31] pvl1: aptitude install mysql-server-5.0 [00:31] could someone help me with the bonding module? i have rebuilt my kernel, and i had the bonding option set to be installed, and now with the new kernel it isn't there, i can't modprobe it in, its not in the /lib/modules/ location, but it is in the source files, the bond0 device can be brought up, but there is no module for bonding [00:31] doesn't get much more standard than that [00:31] pvl1: ok.. lots of them and I think the default driver is Vesa, but it says it's already installed. I guess it's about activating instead of the others that are also installed [00:31] Wannabe--, is it enabled in the restricted drivers? [00:32] pvl1, i use the driver from the nvidia site, [00:32] guys how should I remove compiz-git?? [00:32] kushalsejwal: How did you install it? [00:32] gronne, one sec i think u need to reconfigure your xorg, lemme find the command [00:32] pvl1, the restricted drivers on didnt work either i got a nvidia 7600 GT [00:32] Wannabe--, use envy [00:32] ./compiz.git install [00:33] pvl1, k i'll try. [00:33] pvl1: probably so, I've already tried it.. it asks questions, but it doesn't come further than asking about my keyboard [00:33] gronne, it just stops? [00:33] pvl1: but it should be in there, I guess [00:33] kushalsejwal: Ah. Thats... not so much fun. You'll have to look for removal instructions, probably from the same place you got it [00:33] yeah [00:34] kushalsejwal: ./compiz-git uninstall [00:34] man i messed up everthing :( [00:34] jamon, dunno what to tell ya, i dont see why it shoulddnt work, whats the error it gives u [00:34] kushalsejwal: In the future, stick with the package manager. [00:34] pvl1: or ends I don't know really, but it never comes to ask about my graphics at least [00:34] glitsj16: it took me a hole lot of time in stalling it would it take the same time uninstalling it too?? [00:34] gronne, can u post ur xorg file onto a pastebin? (assuming u know how) [00:35] kushalsejwal: no that will be quite fast as it doesn't need to build anything, just remove some libs [00:35] Flannel: does all this happened because I trusted a unknown script?? [00:35] hello every body [00:35] pvl1: yeah I know pastebin... but when you run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, you get questions, not sure how I can pastebin it [00:35] hello MrLinux [00:36] hi [00:36] I have a question, Ubuntu have cPanel ? [00:36] to install it [00:36] gronne, not that, one sec [00:36] pvl1: I installed everything you told me to. AFter a restart gxine gives me this error: Error reading NAV packet. [00:36] pvl1 hello to you to [00:36] MrLinux: it isn't Free, try webmin+virtualmin [00:36] gronne, pastebin this: gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:36] kushalsejwal: Sort of. You've done unknown things (whatever the script does) to your system, and therefore removal isn't easy unless a) the script provides a removal method (and thn you have to trust that it didn't leave anything/mess anything else up) or b) knowledge of what the script itself does. [00:36] Matthew12, and your trying to play a dvd? [00:37] jamon where I can see the price an ther website ? [00:37] could someone help me with the bonding module? i have rebuilt my kernel, and i had the bonding option set to be installed, and now with the new kernel it isn't there, i can't modprobe it in, its not in the /lib/modules/ location, but it is in the source files, the bond0 device can be brought up, but there is no module for bonding [00:37] MrLinux, whats cpanel? [00:37] I need it to manage FTP accounts for domanins [00:37] pvl1: ah, of course :) It should be there you edit it manually, just not sure how to edit it properly, but I'll pastebin it.. wait [00:37] no idea, email their support MrLinux [00:37] yes...I ran ogle in the terminal and this came up: error cracking css key for /video_ts/vts_01_0.VOB [00:37] pvl1^sorry [00:38] Matthew12, can u try playing it in vlc?

[00:41] what does that mean [00:42] glitsj16: thank you, will look into it now [00:42] please help:( [00:42] kushalsejwal, probably means it checked the net for a place to get software, and found the stuff it wanted in the git repository on opencomposting.org [00:42] i'm on ubuntu 8.04, and my desktop never shows any icons, and i can't right click on it. the panel and everything else works [00:42] nickrud : then what should I do [00:42] Soul_Sample: your welcome, the geometry issue might be related to the values you enter i think, if for instance it is too wide, it falls back to center [00:42] it seems that only the first user that logged in can see the desktop, but nobody else [00:42] any thoughts ? [00:42] I want to unintall compiz.git [00:43] gronne, do you know what the ctrl+alt+F# keys do? [00:43] so....has anyone got iphone 3g to sync with anything Linux yet?

[00:44] guys please help me out [00:44] gronne, ok, u can try it, it wont mess anything up, but your original is F7 usually, hit any one of them, itll take u to a terminal, a big one, try running it from there, but remember how to switch back to ur normal view [00:44] kushalsejwal, man, I saw what flannel told you above. I've never seen what that script does, and since it's using git (a developer's code management tool) it probably downloads source code and compiles it. No telling if it's quality or crap script/code [00:44] Soul_Sample: sure is a nice app indeed, made my devilspie work a lot smoother, enjoy :) [00:44] pvl1: in totem, the japanese intro (probably copyright information) plays but when it's time to open the menu, I get: Are you trying to play an encrypted DVD without libdvdcss [00:44] i got my nvidia driver installed via envy, but i got no desktop effects how can i fix this? [00:44] i'm on ubuntu 8.04, and my desktop never shows any icons, and i can't right click on it. the panel and everything else works [00:44] it seems that only the first user that logged in can see the desktop, but nobody else [00:44] any thoughts ? [00:44] ok i know someone just told me the name of some software to write C++ in and was wondering if you could tell me again. kinda like Visual C++ in windows [00:44] Matthew12, hm, have u reinstalled that lib? also try a reboot, sometims thats all a computer needs [00:45] brb [00:45] glitsj16, flash from the adobe site works. weird [00:45] glitsj16: since you like to help, maybe one more question? it's related to file associations [00:45] mwhit74, mono [00:45] so what should I do nickrud? [00:45] thanks for the tip [00:45] mwhit74, gedit? [00:45] pvl1, I did the reboot after I installed the restricted extras [00:45] he wands like a visual studio [00:45] I'll try a reinstall [00:45] kushalsejwal, open the script in a text viewer, read what it does and figure out how to undo it. Not something that's easy if you don't code. [00:45] pvl1, i got the driver installed, but it's not working to good [00:46] Soul_Sample: am not to proud to say 'sorry don't know the first thing if i don't so ask away [00:46] no i found it i just didn't see the first or second time i looked i looked in my history, by the way its called codeblocks [00:46] pvl1: do I have to do it in a specific place? I tried pressing ctrl+alt+all the f# and nothing happened [00:46] wannabe1, you probably need to reconfig ur xserver [00:46] kushalsejwal, put a copy of the script you ran on pastebin.com. If we're really lucky, it's well written and easily undone.

I thought that was the whole poijnt of it [01:02] gronne, idr but dont worry about the monitor look into the video driver section [01:02] pvl1, it can't be the settings if i haven't altered any of it in the past few days and it started all of a sudden.. === Cynical_ is now known as Blaqlight [01:02] zcat[1], no, i'm lying to you. sheesh yes i'm sure [01:02] can't figure out what went wrong.. [01:02] not even sure what nvidia driver package I'm using, thought it was envy .. but all three machines with nvidia cards have been just fine.. no recompiling here! [01:02] airstrike, ive had this problem too, but im not sure what happened. im not sure what to do other than that [01:03] gaile i'm going to take you to private message here so wols stops getting in the way [01:03] my thumbdrive still isnt working [01:03] snmpee, ok sure [01:03] vaportrailnew123, does ubuntu recognize it? [01:03] pvl1: I'm not happy with the one I found, but I'll try it [01:03] ok, just that ISTR he first time I installed envy it installed B-E and went and got some package from nvidia .. like how flash-nonfree works [01:03] it did, but then it dissapeared [01:04] what's the rename command? [01:04] gronne, well if anything i suggest installing ur live cd and configuring ur xorg from there, and saving that xorg to ur computer [01:04] I have been using "MS Image Composer" for projects for a while, can anyone recommend a good replacement to do sprite layouts? [01:04] Anyone else want to attempt to assist with my network issue, only on my Ubuntu boxes? [01:04] perhaps I'm thinking of something else [01:04] gronne, rename ./file [01:04] pvl1: yeah, that's what I'll do actually, cause those were the settings I've used all the time [01:05] gronne, er rename ./file ./newname [01:05] anyway.. anybody know how I can make skype ignore chats from all the spambots. I have a couple of friends who use skype and I'd like to be able to call them. [01:05] pvl1: ok, that simple :) thanks... well.. I try doing that now! I might come back, thanks so long! [01:05] gronne, well good luck. [01:06] gronne, no problem [01:06] pvl1: I'll need it, haha [01:06] hi, i'm french sorry for my english but, the html rendering is desible in wine [01:06] after about 45 seconds. it unmounts the drive [01:06] where is for active gecko [01:07] in wine [01:07] aCMe_^, wine iexplore http://googleca [01:07] pvl1, i installed the nvidia driver through envy, rebooted and my glxinfo prints out http://pastebin.com/m4df9f2e3 but i can change my res with nvidia-settings still... [01:07] aCMe_^, google.ca* [01:07] error :s [01:07] aCMe_^, It doesn't prompt you to install gecko? [01:08] i click on install [01:08] and [01:08] i big text [01:08] Wannabe, go to synaptic and search xgl. [01:08] aCMe_^, Probably a bug with the latest wine, try this: wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks && sh winetricks gecko [01:08] Wannabe: not properly installed. the GLX is missing [01:09] ok [01:09] anyone know why i cant get my thumbdrive to work? [01:09] Wannabe: what card is it and what driver version? [01:09] wols, nvidia 7600 GT [01:09] Anyone know of an image tool that I can use to lay out sprites??? [01:09] vaportrailnew123: not until you give us useful error messages or descriptions [01:09] Wannabe: and what driver version exactly? [01:09] it either doesnt show up at all, or shows up and then dissapears after 45 seconds [01:10] wols, envy did it, 173.14.05 [01:10] Ahadiel, Executing cabextract /home/mickael/.winetrickscache/wine_gecko-0.1.0.cab [01:10] winetricks: 1497: cabextract: not found [01:10] Note: command 'cabextract /home/mickael/.winetrickscache/wine_gecko-0.1.0.cab' returned status 127. Aborting. [01:10] Hello [01:10] Hello everyone, I was wondering if the "BusyBox" error has been fixed. By this I mean that my computer when using the 8.04 disk or previously updating from 7.10 to 8.04 my computer would be "broken" and not boot into Ubuntu. Instead it would bring up a BusyBox prompt. I was wondering if they have created a fix for it [01:10] aCMe_^: install the command [01:10] any suggestions? [01:10] aCMe_^, sudo apt-get install cabextract [01:10] vaportrailnew123: check dmesg [01:11] ok [01:11] wols, any ideas? [01:11] sysop: i used a webservice at http://www.phpied.com/css-sprites-generation-tool/ a few times and believe it has it's PHP code open sourced so that might be worth a look i guess [01:11] what am i looking for [01:11] Wannabe: yes, don't use envy and use the standard ubuntu drivres for your card [01:11] xtracerroute doesn't like me, apparently the view of earth is drawn once then for subsequent refreshes its just a white box. the view is 3d and opengl. Im wondering if its just software issue or what. [01:11] vaportrailnew123: your usb stick [01:11] vaportrailnew123, pastebin the output of dmesg [01:11] !paste | vaportrailnew123 [01:12] vaportrailnew123: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [01:12] while following a community doc on restricted formats: i clicked install for libdvdcss2 and I got this error: You have 1 broken package on your system!Use the "Broken" filter to locate it. [01:12] wols, if i download my driver form the site and install it, it only wokrs to next boot smae with restricted drivers [01:12] tanlaan: Unfortunately getting dropped to busybox can be caused by a number of things. If you're trying to install, use the alternate CD instead. [01:12] Wannabe: what site? [01:12] wols, nvida.com [01:12] wols, nvidia.com * [01:12] Wannabe: I doN't help with those. ask #nvidia [01:13] wols o [01:13] k [01:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/26786/ [01:13] thats with it in [01:13] Flannel: Well this also happened while updating so I don't think an alternate disk will change the situation very much =/ [01:13] Wannabe: i am ahving the same issues with my 8400gs [01:14] vaportrailnew123: looks like a hardware problem? [01:14] Ahadiel, it's ok for gecko imo. So now, i can install WLmessenger [01:14] and i'm big text [01:14] after doing a "make" (not make install)..where is the output compiled file put? [01:15] aCMe_^, I *highly* doubt WLmessenger will work with wine [01:15] ubunubi: depends on the makefile. not standard location [01:15] Hi! Audio files on Wikipedia doesn't work for me. I can see that they are playing, but there is no sound. [01:15] What do I do? [01:15] argh [01:15] WLmessenger is on wine list :( [01:15] wols:: since it's not make install...shouldn't it put put somewhere near the dir you're compiling from?? not using the install option means you explicitly don't want it stuck somewhere else on your system [01:15] What is the best vncserver? (!best I know) [01:16] ubunubi: sure but there is no standard location [01:16] wols:: does it tend to be a sub directory of the compile directory atleast? or so i need to search my entire system [01:16] do* [01:16] powertool08, does it have to be vnc [01:16] ubunubi: yes [01:16] Sylphid: what else would it be? [01:17] wols:: is there something i can grep for in the config file to found out which sub dir? [01:17] Matthew12: that message refers to synaptic, if you open it you will see the broken package and you can repair it from there .. libdvdcss2 is in medibuntu repo by the way, so make sure you have that in your sources list if you want to install it the regular way [01:17] powertool08, NX or X11 forwarding [01:17] [Q] How can i check why my network interface isnt showing up on a ifconfig? [01:17] Sorry bout that in synaptic what do i need to get for compiz? [01:17] Sylphid: pros/cons of each of those compared to vnc? [01:17] to fix this Checking for Xgl: not present. [01:18] glitsj16, i do have medibuntu, and I'm almost positive libdvdcss2 was already installed. I'm having trouble playing a specific dvd (japan, region 2 I think) [01:18] jpratt: depends on your videodriver. which one is it? [01:18] ati [01:18] jpratt: no need for Xgl [01:18] powertool08, NX creates a new X session for each connection so it is not useful if you want the server side to see what is going on [01:18] hi all I could use some help fixing my partitions any takers [01:18] IF 3d accel works [01:18] wols:: is there something i can grep for in the config file to found out which sub dir? [01:18] !ask | eek [01:18] eek: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [01:18] well then i wonder why it wolnt start the desktop effects -.- [01:18] Matthew12: okay, just double-check i'd say if libdvdcss2 is reported as broken [01:19] Matthew12, in the past ive copied problem dvd's to iso files, or used k9copy to copy them to iso. or ripped/converted them to avi. :) a bit extreme.. but its worked for me befor [01:19] ubunubi: I already told you. I won't repeat endlessly [01:19] jpratt: glxinfo |grep direct [01:19] powertool08, X11 is the same but only forwards the app that you start instead of the entire X session [01:19] are there video drivers for ubuntu 8.04? [01:19] Dr_Willis_ would you suggest K9copy as the program of choice? [01:19] Doppp: of course [01:20] wols: you said it's random depending on the config file. that did _not_ exclude there being a _setting_ (with a static variable name) in the config file that would POINT to the _random_ directory it's going to output. no need to be rude [01:20] what? [01:20] can I set two prelight button image? one for pressed one for unpressed in gtkrc? [01:20] and required ones? [01:20] Matthew12, ive been using it with very good results the last few months. [01:20] * wols puts ubunubi on ignore [01:20] Matthew12, i like it because i can remove the silly ads/warnings/previews at the start of the disks === SeaPhor is now known as Marvin_the_Robot [01:20] Matthew12: there's also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs#Setting%20DVD%20Region%20Codes for some pointers on trying to change your dvd region setting temporarily .. [01:20] wols: what? [01:21] way to have a stick up your butt. i help people in here for 10+hrs at a time and you can't answer a simple question. we don't need your kind here [01:21] jpratt: I gave you command. run it [01:21] Sylphid: I think vnc is a better option for what I want [01:21] when i installed hardy over fawn i made a new partition as not to erase my data, but now I have no permissions for my old partition so i can only edit via root term anybody follow? [01:21] I thought that gmplayer, and vlc ignored the region settings.. but i am not sure. [01:21] wols: and required drivers to download? [01:21] Doppp: what videocard do you have? [01:21] powertool08, is the server on a windows or *nix OS? [01:21] lemme check [01:22] it said Yes [01:22] yes, glitsj16, I've followed that. no dice so far. [01:22] hey folks... my keyboard shortcuts (for example to lock my workstation) are no longer working. Any ideas on what I can check to see what changed and fix it? [01:22] jpratt: and you don't use the fglrx driver? [01:22] instaled skype last week.. have it set to 'only accept chats from people I allow' but I am still getting chats from spambots all the time.. anybody know how to fix this? [01:22] no [01:22] Matthew12: i guess Dr_Willis's alternative seems to be the only option right now , k9copy is a gem indeed [01:23] jpratt: then it _should_ work but ask the compiz channel [01:23] !compiz [01:23] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [01:23] Sylphid: server is ubuntu hardy, client will be xp/arch lappy, possibly other various xp/vista machines [01:23] jpratt: only fglrx shiuld need XGL [01:23] Sylphid: I was wanting to set it up so only localhost could view tunneled over ssh2 [01:23] wols: i have a nvdia geforce 9500m gs [01:23] !nvidia | Doppp [01:23] Doppp: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:24] AndrewGearhart: you used ubuntu before when the keys did work [01:24] alright thanks [01:24] kitche: yep...

For instructions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo and to see supported hardware: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsScanners - See also !OCR [01:24] eek, you trying to edit from hardy or fawn [01:24] powertool08, if the server is *nix i would use tightvnc [01:25] AndrewGearhart: most likely the keys are no longer set I kinda forgot how to set them since I don't own a keyboard that has any fancy keys on it [01:25] powertool08, for a windows client/server i would use ultravnc [01:25] [Q] How can i check why my network interface isnt showing up on a ifconfig? [01:25] whoa, I can see video images in the k9copy preview, that I haven't been able to see in any of the many dvd players I've tried...looks like it'll work. Thanks Dr_Willis_ [01:25] solexious_: dmesg [01:25] Sylphid: any specific reason or just personal preferences? [01:25] solexious_: does ifconfig -a show it? [01:25] kitche: It's set using System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts [01:25] How would I go about getting my scanner working if it isn't listed as "Supported" by the Ubuntu database? [01:25] kitche: it says its still set. [01:26] Reformer81: check if sane-project lists it [01:26] isor i'm in hardy thru root i've deleted fawn but have read only permissions in gui for the old fawn database [01:26] yes [01:26] wols: Well, I'm trying to use Xane and it says there are no connected devices... [01:26] Alright, I have found a fix for my booting of 8.04 to avoid the busy box error. Could someone please help me figure out what kind of an error would cause it from my fix? I used "all_generic_ide" at boot of the 8.04 disk. [01:26] AndrewGearhart: I don't use the gnome/kde stuff myself [01:26] however... I'm now seeing the shortcuts displayed as what I believe are their ASCII equivalents... for example... 0xae [01:26] powertool08, tight has better compression so better speeds ..... ultra has lots of extra tools like file copying and chat etc as well as the extra compression [01:27] it says base address:0xdead tho :s [01:27] solexious_: most likely the network interface is down just ifconfig up then dhclient [01:28] AndrewGearhart: that's because that is how X actually sees the keys [01:28] Sylphid: Ok, thanks, I'll try those out [01:28] isor my retarted way of fixing it is to gparted my old database partition to a smaller size after moving allowed files over to the hardy database :( lol [01:29] kitche: well... its different than it used to be... it used to show the "friendly version" ... like... "Ctrl+Left" [01:29] powertool08, if your looking to just work on a home computer from away i would highly recommend X11 forwarding [01:29] eek, what is in fawn database that you need to put into hardy [01:29] kitche: I understand what it is displaying... but its different than it used to be... just trying to provide more information so that perhaps it might ring a bell with somebody and they might chime in with a possible solution [01:29] powertool08, you can do X11 forwarding on windows using XMing === Marvin_the_Robot is now known as SeaPhor [01:30] Howdy, heres a new one. What would I have to do and redirect to load some programs onto a properly formatted removable flash drive? [01:30] Uh oh.

[01:31] downloaded the desktop edition [01:31] isor, like 3 yrs of photos, 50G of mp3, work and school docs. [01:31] michael_: only difference between server edition and desktop edition is the kernel and some underneath things they use the same repos [01:31] How do i NOT boot into the desktop version of ubuntu? [01:32] michael_: your not your booting into server version [01:32] yes [01:32] did you install it on a seperate Partition? [01:32] i sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [01:32] michael_: that just installs a gui which you wanted [01:32] k [01:32] isor let's say I root my photos over to what little space i have GParted isn't even allowing me to resize/edit the old database partition [01:32] michael_: you are still using server [01:33] oh [01:33] good [01:33] thats fine then [01:33] Wow.

[01:39] isor nope just the os in the partition [01:40] Sylphid: the thing that scares me the most is that i got banned from my dorm network because of that before, the administrator saw it as a denial of service attack lol, and now i'm not in my dorm but on my home connection, and i really don't want my ISP to have any complains about me DoS-ing them [01:40] Soul_Sample, does the log have timestamps with the DHCPDISCOVER messages? [01:40] snmpee: best learn what the hippocratic oath says. it's basic tenet is "do no harm". and in case of his install, you just violated this principle [01:40] zmitya: look into the man page for mount, the -o settings are all explained, don't use reiserfs as a worldwritable partiton myself, just defaults ..

[01:46] Matthew12, I had the same problem of color distortion in Realplayer after disabling xvideo everything worked fine [01:46] Sylphid: nothing's happening [01:46] michael_: install php5, and any additional packages you want [01:46] ok thanks [01:47] Amun: kde4 is highly buggy, I recommend 3.5 [01:47] michael_: apt-cache search php5, and you'll see what packages exist [01:47] Soul_Sample, start the dhclient again [01:47] shujah: is that like...killall xvideo? [01:47] well, what packages would i install? kde4 or kde4-core ? [01:47] Sylphid: okay [01:47] Soul_Sample, just need it for 1 instance of it [01:47] Amun: I think kde4 just installs everything, including kde4-core, go with kde4 then === PingFloyd_ is now known as PingFloyd [01:47] Amun: I mean kde4 [01:48] td123: thanks. [01:48] Amun: but I warned you [01:48] eek, no 2nd drive you can use as a temp to move files to? [01:48] what, it sits on the couch and eats potato chips all day? What is not behaving the way you want it to? be descriptive [01:48] shujah, how can I disable xvideo? [01:49] Matthew12, No - in realplayer one has the option to untick (stop using) xvideo [01:49] Hello - is there a way to start a KVM virtual machine that I have configured in the Virt-Manager from the command line instead of the gui? [01:49] shujah: okay then...guess I'm sol [01:50] Anyone tried pwsafe? Or can recommend another commandline method to store password encrypted? [01:50] wols, "do no harm" doesn't apply. with the nvidia drivers you need to recompile the nvidia kernel headers every time you upgrade the kernel. it's just that simple. if you think that's "harming", then you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about and are beginning to turn being wrong into a fine art form [01:50] how do i move my boot partition to another HD and boot from that? [01:50] [Q] My network card light goes out as soon as i start booting ubuntu, it shows up with ifconfig but doesnt find dhcp and get an address... help! [01:50] Matthew12, ok open vlc you must've got some media files right now you can play, right? and here I'm assuming you have all the updates+codecs [01:51] isor lol so i do have one and i tried formatting last week but it dint work so here i am as we speak trying to reformt it the onlything different i did was open GParted in a term as root instead of using the gui and it work!!! cant believe it so now i'm going to chase that tail. [01:51] shujah: ok, and yes [01:51] solexious_ is your network configured to filter by MAC address? It might not be allowed on your network [01:52] lanuser: no its not, and has been working before [01:52] solexious_ just for testing, can you assign it a static and see if you can ping another machine on the subnet? [01:52] !nvidia [01:52] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:52] I installed libpam-encfs according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FolderEncryption but it isn't working :( when I try to login at another terminal, after entering the name I get "login incorrect" before it asks for a password :( what could be wrong ? [01:52] eek, if you did get it formated might be better to put hardy on it rather than on a 5g partition [01:53] lanuser, you mean assign it in ifconfig, or the router? [01:53] what's the difference between 'dist-upgrade' and 'upgrade' [01:53] anyone know of some good point of sale software for linux? [01:53] JDStone: dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of packages [01:53] Sylphid: okay, my internet died when i ran that command [01:54] solexious_: assign it on the Linux box, not the router [01:54] Ive mainly noticed that dist-upgrade will upgrade held-back packages. :) not sure why they get held back.. proverly to do with what tritium said. [01:54] shujah: changing video output to X11 in VLC worked. thanks!! [01:54] Soul_Sample, the dhclient [01:54] Dr_Willis_: aye [01:54] is there a way to boot into console only mode? [01:54] nei === RichW1 is now known as RichW [01:55] michael_: you could disable gdm then the next boot will be console only [01:55] how do i disable gdm? [01:55] Matthew12, sorry dude d/c [01:55] lanuser: what is the command? i forget [01:55] michael_: install sysv-rc-conf "sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf" [01:55] lanuser: thank you [01:55] michael_: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tips.en.html#s-no-x-start [01:56] michael_: then run sysv-rc-conf and uncheck all the entries for gdm then hit "q" to save and quit === spanther2 is now known as spanther [01:56] shujah: changing video output to X11 in VLC worked. So, thanks for the directions...they helped me narrow my options! [01:56] michael_: that URL from the Debian reference is the "Debian/Ubuntu" way [01:56] michael_: you can turn gdm off right now with this --> /etc/init.d/./gdm stop [01:56] np - can'y help you out in totem I rarely use it :| [01:57] Matthew12, is totem running on xine or gstreamer ? [01:57] how do i find a file on my pc ? [01:57] lanuser: done it, i get destination host unreachable [01:57] solexious_ just pick the gui command from System/Administration/Network [01:57] shujah: i think I'm running totem-xine [01:57] Sinister, locate command, or find command. are often used. [01:58] solexious_ what's the ip address of your router on that network? 192.168.1.1 or 254? [01:58] Matthew12, try gstreamer then might help [01:58] 192.168.0.1 [01:58] solexious_ and what did you assign your linux box for a static IP? [01:58] neither one worked [01:58] Hi guys, i have a striker II formula motherboard, and it has a mini sound card (really just a riser with the normal backpanel ports) asoundconf list shows the card as "HDA Nvidia" but i cant output to this card, if i set it as the default output device in pulseaudio there is no soud, however if i use my other soundcard (Asus xonar d2x) it works perfectly, any idea how i can get the onboard sound to work? [01:59] lanuser: 192.168.0.102 , what it is normaly assigned by my router [01:59] solexious_ did you use 255.255.255.0 for the netmask? === gardar is now known as gardar`afk [01:59] lanuser, yes, and bcast is also correct [02:00] Soul_Sample, did the connection die when you ran dhclient? [02:00] shujah, thanks for your instruction. I appreciate it [02:00] solexious_: very strange then, maybe the port, network card or cable then? [02:00] is there a ubuntu dell irc channel? [02:00] solexious_ what kind of network card is it? [02:01] lanuser, im not sure if the drivers have corrupted or some thing as it used to be fine [02:01] lanuser, sitecom, cable is fine [02:01] i cant find the package libapache-mod-dav? apt-cache search returns nothing, as well as searchs for apache-mod and apache2-mod, none of which return a dav module [02:01] solexious_, is the static ip out of reach of dhcp assigned ips? [02:01] solexious_ I've had a problem recently with a realtek driver, what does "lspci" show you for hardware info? [02:02] Sylphid: got really ugly after i ran that command... i barely could connect again... i guess it's fine now :S [02:02] CppIsWeird: what is libapache-mod-dav again? [02:02] shujah, nope lanuser, checking [02:02] Soul_Sam2le, after the dhclient command or the tcpdump [02:02] Sylphid: tcdump [02:02] can somone help me configure my track pad on my dell in ubuntu?

[02:03] hi [02:03] hiya bene [02:03] trying to do a custom gproftpd install, can anyone tell me how to make it use a specific config file and a serving dir?

[02:40] However, this is the weird part. My router correctly detects the connection, and sends out a DHCP lease. All the transmissions from the router are listed as "erroring" though [02:40] At least towards that client [02:40] ghost3: I wonder if it's mislabeled or was it always plaintext? did you just upgrade the box? if so, what's your fstab look like?

[02:50] Jordan_U i have flash player 10 (I had the same issue with 9) flash holds onto the sound (So nothing else can use sound, i assume it's using OSS). [02:50] help brainstorm broken :( [02:50] iplaythisgame: is your linux partition ext2/ext3? [02:50] iplaythisgame: /boot/grub [02:50] ext3 [02:50] i hate that flash holds onto the sound so nothing else can use sound [02:51] iplaythisgame: then you'll have to install a windows driver that allows you to mount ext2 file systems [02:51] Jordan_U from inside windows [02:51] puller yep. Just added Option "SHMConfig" "true" to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, installed gsynaptics and hit ctl-atl-backspace and logged back in. [02:51] when it gonna be fixed? [02:51] CShadowRun: Are you using pulseaudio ? [02:51] smallfoot-: thats a pulse audio bug.. use alsa and it should be fine(least it is for me) [02:51] CShadowRun: you just need to use Flash 10 beta 2 along with a newer libasound2 and libasound2-plugins [02:51] IndyGunFreak, oh, i dont know how [02:51] Jordan_U no, i'm using ALSA [02:51] nickrud: and the gsynaptic ran for u? [02:51] IndyGunFreak, when its gonna get fixed in pulse? [02:51] puller yes [02:51] ubunubi, thx i gues thats kind of a solution [02:51] nickrud: then why sint mine working? [02:51] nickrud: u looked at my xorg right? [02:51] iplaythisgame: if you need to edit it from windows, it's your _only_ solution. windows can't read ext2 natively [02:51] smallfoot-: that i have no idea, i just know when i switched all my apps to use alsa, and set my main sound to alsa, no more probs. [02:52] puller gsynaptics that is. And yes, it looks precisely like mine [02:52] How can I use virsh instead of virt-manager? [02:52] nickrud: any more ideas fo rme to try? [02:52] can someone familiar with cron/crontab...help me troubleshoot why my cron jobs aren't running on schdule? [02:52] CShadowRun: I ask because your symptoms sound exactly like what happens when you use flash while using pulseaudio for other apps ( which is the default setup in Hardy ) [02:52] && should be able to be used to run two commands in one line... right? [02:53] Jordan_U yea, i changed it back to ALSA [02:53] AndrewB: Yes, and the second will not be run if the first fails [02:53] IndyGunFreak: that's not a PulseAudio issue. That's a Flash issue. [02:53] crimsun: then explain why when i switched to alsa, the problem went away [02:53] Soul_Sample, try removing line 17: iface eth0 inet dhcp [02:53] Anyone know if I can restart my sound drivers without restarting my computer ? [02:54] cool [02:54] IndyGunFreak: because the interface for Flash to PulseAudio was broken. [02:54] crimsun i have Shockwave Flash 10.0.0 d525 only installed it a few days ago, and i have both libasound plugins installed [02:54] puller no, that's the proper fix. You might consider filing a bug on bugs.ubuntu.com. Include a copy of your xorg.conf, the output of dpkg -l | grep gsynaptics , and the output of running gsynaptics in your terminal. Make sure you do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade before doing that all. [02:54] lanuser: i just relized something, my ntfs part gained 10 gig as my linux part was 10 gig. does that help, i cant run fsck: fsck.ext2: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks...

[02:54] CShadowRun: you need intrepid's libasound2 and libasound2-plugins [02:54] IndyGunFreak: Because flash does not work with pulseaudio currently [02:54] Jordan_U: ic... [02:54] puller true, on, and 1 are all synonyms [02:54] crimsun how do i get them? [02:54] Jordan_U: actually it does. [02:54] ubunubi: I think yours may be because of sticky keys, I had an issue with sticky keys doing that [02:54] Sylphid: done... but now i should reboot, right? [02:54] Jordan_U: i'd read elsewhere, it was a problem w/ pulse-audio... thus my comment [02:54] well let me try that i will be back [02:55] cruddpuppet: naw, vmware server corrupts my keys sometimes. only happens when using vmware. but i currently have to log out of my X session to reset it properly. annoying as hell [02:55] crimsun: Do intrepid's packages introduce more instability like libflashsupport does? [02:55] server 88.216.57.159 [02:55] ghost3 that's not good, can you boot into windows? [02:55] because it does it no matter what two sounds are playing, not just flash and something else. [02:55] lanuser: no i get error 22 in grub [02:55] Soul_Sample, yes [02:55] IndyGunFreak: i.e., there was a Flash 9 portion that is broken (fixed in the Flash 10 betas), and there was a libflashsupport portion that was broken due to attempts to work around Flash 9's brokenness. [02:55] nickrud: still didnt work [02:55] Jordan_U: no. [02:55] ghost3: boot from your XP cd and go to a repair console, try "fixmbr" [02:55] What should I be using for a Socks Server on Ubuntu? SS5 or Dante? [02:56] crimsun: if you say so. [02:56] IndyGunFreak: of course. I maintained ALSA and PulseAudio. [02:56] i know this is the ubuntu channel and all, but i have a few questions as a beginner, they;re regarding gnewsense, will i be able to: watch youtube videos, java, flash, pdf files, mp3 files, .docs and other MS office files, and plug my cellphone and flash drives with gnewsense? [02:56] lanuser: will try that, be back in 20. thanks for your help. [02:56] ghost3: or if you have another windows computer, install BartPE and create a boot disk, BartPE is like a "Live Windows" boot CD, it's nice [02:56] Sylphid: well, i have to go to sleep, actually. 4 am here, and i'm supposed to get up early. thank you for your help and your effort. if this doesn't help, i'll just manually kill dhclient after connecting. it's a hassle, but if it works i'm ready to do it. [02:56] can anyone help me do a custom install of gproftpd? [02:56] ghost3: sure [02:56] nickrud: did u notice there are two synaptic touchpad sections in my xorg? [02:57] Soul_Sample, this should take care of it.... i hope [02:57] Soul_Sample, good luck [02:57] can someone familiar with cron/crontab...help me troubleshoot why my cron jobs aren't running on schdule? i used gnome-schedule to write the format, so it's correct..but...it's not running [02:57] Sylphid: thanks :) see you some other time [02:57] CostaRicanQuaker: if you're that worried about it, just use ubuntu [02:57] puller it appears there may be a bug in your system somewhere. If the standard instructions aren't working for you (since this is very well tested stuff) you should file a bug. [02:57] still stuck with flash not using ALSA, anyone got any other ideas? [02:58] any ops around? Has a number been tossed around when the channel should or will split? [02:58] stop using proprietary junk? :) [02:58] nickrud: shoudl there be two sections for me for synaptic touchpad in my xorg? [02:58] puller no, there is only one touchpad section defined in your xorg.conf, that section is referenced in the screen section [02:58] I'm having trouble with GRUB freezing on my new Hardy install. would appreciate any help someone could offer. [02:58] CShadowRun: what is your goal? to use Flash alongside Rhythmbox? [02:58] puller er, serverlayout that is [02:58] crimsun my goal is to not have sound conflicts, lol [02:59] nickrud: because i havve one under server layer and oen under input devices [02:59] nickrud: so which one shoudl i delete [02:59] i would usually use firefox, play games, and listen to music all at the same time back in windows [02:59] and probably other things that would use sound (such as email clients) [02:59] so basically i need to eradicate all conflicts :p [02:59] CShadowRun: ok, I'll walk you through it in query. [02:59] nickrud: http://pastebin.ca/1069680 [02:59] puller no, you have the definition in input devices. Then, in serverlayout, that input definition is attached to the serverlayout. You need both [02:59] crimsun great, ty :D [03:00] nickrud: ok so where should the shm thing go [03:00] puller look up, just before your pastbin line [03:00] puller where it is.

[03:13] AndrewGearhart: It may not be sending the text you input there to a shell, if that is the case a simple solution would be to make a small script that just runs the two commands and have that be the "AFTER command" [03:13] bobertdos: I need to call "pppd /dev/ttyACM0 call ppp-script-treo" as root, and I want it as a menu item [03:13] McShane yeah [03:13] what i do next Shujah?

[03:14] Ktorrent.desktop [03:14] baldur: hmm, I dunno [03:14] Gigadelic_IIDX, say it's com[iz fusion icon (example) rm it [03:14] AndrewGearhart: In other words, "&&" and ";" are only understood by a shell, so if it's just expecting a single command it may be executing it itself rather than using a shell [03:15] McShane I am trying to find my sources file so I can tell you more but with out tabcompletion it's hard to rememver where things are at :) [03:15] ok done [03:15] Gigadelic_IIDX, Ktorrent is the app you wanna remove?

[03:23] hmm From being saved. file should be owned by user and have 644 permission. the rest i cant not read cuz of the font size [03:23] McShane it feels kind of like a wrong langue selection for the keyboard or something [03:23] Help My box is a Hp pavilion dv9000 and after installing ubuntu and doing updates it also asked to do the driver updates for nvidia "Accelerated graphics driver (latest cards)" after that a reboot and ever boot after that I just get a screen that flashes one color I can hear it boot up but so just can't see what i should? how can this be fixed I had to reinstall Ubuntu and I have not since then enabled that driver. [03:23] McShen I am accessign this over ssh so I only have terminal access to the server [03:23] baldur, when you run lsb_release -a, what version do you get? [03:24] CyberCod: what kind of trouble?

[03:26] what's the difference between 'dist-upgrade' and 'upgrade' again? [03:27] MachinTrucChose, well i guess u have to find all the dir and delete em. you can also do "sudo killall vmware" to kill that service [03:27] thats running [03:27] JDStone dist-upgrade can remove packages, upgrade cannot === Inuyasha__ is now known as i [03:27] McShane kewl thanks for your help ..

[03:27] yo Shujah what should i set my DPI to? [03:28] JDStone any package. It's intent is to move from one point release to another, and the new point release may need to remove obsolete packages and replace them with ones with a different name. [03:28] yeah, I know. I didn't read it in time and can't go back to it [03:28] pvl1: it says "no process killed". I took a look and I don't see any "vmware" processes. Could it be that the daemon exists but closes when it doesn't find necessary files (botched install, like I said)? How can I remove all mention of vmware in the boot list? [03:28] thanks [03:28] how do i install the nvidia-glx drivers and use them ? [03:28] JDStone: "man apt-get" will give you some useful info on the two options. [03:28] I tried upgrading ubuntu 7.4 to 7.10 and now cant boot. [03:28] alright, thanks [03:28] is it a bad idea to use dist-upgrade? [03:28] Gigadelic_IIDX, whats your dpi at the moment? [03:29] in ubuntu, system-pref-session is where u can turn on or off stuff at boot [03:29] 96 [03:29] MachinTrucChose, ^^ [03:29] JDStone not really, it's just fine as a rule. It will tell you about any packages it may want to remove, so you can bail if not sure [03:29] ok, here's the deal, i had tried to upgrade to hardy from dapper, i did that and thenit rebooted, i got an error, busybox, debian ash shell something, so i had to reboot from the old kernel, however i got this on the terminal,,,can someone tell me what happened> http://paste.ubuntu.com/26811/ [03:29] MachinTrucChose, other than that, what i did is just find all the dirs that the install used and delete em [03:29] krsnadasa, System/Administration/Hardware Drivers [03:29] gdmsetup segfaults everytime [03:30] the screen shot i posted Shujah can give u a idea how big the font is also my monitor is a LCD 27" [03:30] pvl1: allright, I guess I'll do that.

[03:32] does anyone know how i can make a bootable USB stick from an existing usb stick? The ISO program seems to support only CDs [03:33] Jordan_U: hi there! yeah, alltray... [03:33] Jordan_U i have the same problem [03:33] lets try 72 [03:33] Kohlrak: Fedora has that as an official feature if you don't mind Fedora :) [03:33] how do I check if a package is installed or not? [03:33] Isn't Fedora a different distro? [03:33] Jordan_U: and tilda (Yaquake clone for gnome) ask for same libraries too [03:34] How would I rename the extension of a batch of files (ie: *.jpeg to *.jpg)? [03:34] hmmm changing the DPI did nothing oh well [03:34] These are the instructions for troubleshooting wireless, but I don't have such a place ... Open Device Manager (System → Preferences → Hardware Information). [03:34] is there a way to change the login screen font? my font is so small its not even readable, all the rest of my fonts are fine though [03:35] Kohlrak, take a look at http://www.teamteabag.com/2008/05/17/howto-easy-install-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron-or-most-other-distros-from-usb/ [03:35] martosurf: When you run ./configure it is most likely giving you errors about needing specific files ( rather than the packages that provide them ) it may also try to help you out as to what those packages are but easiest thing to do usually is to run ./configure, use apt-file search repeat until there are no more errors :) [03:36] * Adam-S laughs [03:36] McShane... I'm trynig to work on a kernel, and i'm curious if this code isn't working in VMWare because of an unsupported feature or because the code has an error. Since i'm on a laptop, i need to sort of write teh bin file to the usbstick some how. [03:36] Jordan_U: cool, tnx for your aid, I'm new to linux and didn't knew about apt-get search command, will try that right now, thanks a lot again =D [03:37] lanuser: fixmbr helped a lot, thank you very much. [03:37] Anyone able to help with ATI drivers here? [03:37] martosurf: Did you realize that alltray is available in the default repositories? [03:37] using 8.04 libpam-encfs doesn't appear to work, when I install and configure it, all logins fail :( can anyone help ? [03:38] I installed the linux-restricted-modules and it showed up under restricted drivers thing, I installed it. Then it "couldnt find my gpu or screen" [03:38] Kohlrak: Ah. That appears to be a separate deal, and I wouldn't know much about kernel hacking, sorry [03:38] how do you view files on a recoverd drive? I fdisk and remounted but cant see the files? [03:38] how do i get rid of xubuntu? sudo apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop ? [03:38] slashzul, fdisk wipes all data [03:38] McShane. Basically, i need to find a program that writes a bin file or an iso file to the USB. Any experience with that? [03:39] McShane: this was a funny one... [03:39] when I run df it shows the diskspace used but no files [03:39] how do you view files on a recoverd drive? I fdisk and remounted but cant see the files? [03:39] when I run df it shows the diskspace used but no files [03:39] McShane: I wasn't in bash ... so all I had to do was to type .... drum rolll..... bash [03:39] mpiz-fusion [03:39] slashzul: What is the mountpoint ? [03:39] baldur: heh, so things are working okay now? [03:40] metalpres: System - Administration - Login window. Check if GtkRc is something other than default. [03:40] McShane the fine folks at slicehost had the answer thank good [03:40] I mounted it under /tmp/test [03:40] hum. When killing compiz and starting metacity causes all my windows to start drawing again, I think that's a good indicator that compiz is misbehaving [03:40] I run df and it shows drive is being used but no files [03:40] McShane: lucky ... you don't know what it's like missing your tabcompleation [03:40] I can mount it anywhere [03:40] McShane its absolute horror [03:40] baldur, glad to see you found an easy fix [03:40] Im trying to recover my files [03:40] slashzul: and when you "ls -A /tmp/test" you get no output ? [03:40] metalpres: There doesn't seem to be a gui tool for changing the font size, so you presumably have to make a custom gtkrc file. [03:40] right [03:41] ls -la shows nada [03:41] df though shows 23% used [03:41] just like before the dist-upgrade [03:41] Lynet: System -> Preferences -> Appearance ? Or are you talking about an application specific dpi problem? === j is now known as Guest49979 [03:42] If i could just recover the "hidden" files . [03:42] WTF I did apt-get install firefox-3.0 and got 'Grand Paridiso' [03:42] Jordan_U: metalpres was asking about the login window (gdm). [03:42] hello, has anyone written a custom upstart config? [03:42] slashzul: Can you pastebin the output of "mount" ? [03:42] Lynet: Ahh, sorry [03:42] TacticalFrostbit, maybe you have a development package source enabled? [03:43] snmpee: I never ever recommended envy and people who overwrite libgl or kernel modules from ubuntu willy nilly and therefore break the packaging system are mistaken. if you use ubuntu approved way of installing not recompile necessary. and please stop the unsolicited spam via PM [03:43] Gigadelic_IIDX, ? [03:44] Lynet: I think I figured it out, I just edited the .xml file for my login theme and changed all my font sizes in there [03:44] I couldnt find a gui way or any 1 setting to change them all but it was only like 10 spots that needed to be changed to get them all [03:45] metalpres: Ah, yes. I should have thought of that, if you use themes they control most of the font stuff. [03:45] metalpres: I think that perhaps a few dialog boxes are not controlled by the theme, so for those you might have to futz around with gtkrc. [03:45] TacticalFrostbit, try "apt-get install firefox" instead [03:46] when trying to use libpam-encfs. /var/log/auth.log has "...[error: /lib/security/pam_encfs.so undefined symbol: __stack_chk_fail_local]" what is wrong ? [03:46] anyone know how to recover a crashed disk? [03:46] guys are there any nice dc++ clients for hardy heron? [03:47] Lynet: im not to concerned with getting everything, I just wanted the user/pass box and the sessions menu to be readable, other than that I dont really mind [03:47] The latest version of Ubuntu/Gnome appears to have something mapped to Start-C, killing the default Play/Pause shortcut for Amarok. [03:47] Any ideas on how to turn it off? [03:48] (Mouse-centering, I think.) === sunc_ is now known as sunc [03:48] slashzul: you could try spinrite from grc.com (haven't used it myself) [03:49] displayconfig-gtk works fine but when i reboot the settings do not stay, what should i do [03:49] [Q] How do i remove a non empty folder and all folders in it? [03:49] solexious_: rm -rf folder [03:49] !ot | Ajax [03:49] Ajax: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[03:51] shujah_ yes [03:51] metalpres restricted [03:51] try changeing the settings in the nvidia control panel [03:51] is 'gtk+-2.0' a package? [03:51] it will override the xorg settings [03:51] cube, I ran into this problem too :P open nvidia-setting-manager [03:51] For example: I want to run the command 'ps -A' and have it show only a page at a time. Is this possible in the terminal? [03:52] how i can complity reset all the compiz config (ccsm) settings ? [03:52] JackTehLad: "$ ps -A | less" should work [03:52] i currently don't use that with my restricted nvidia driver i think i use the glx-new [03:52] slashzul: Do you get any output from "lsof | grep /tmp/test/"? ( Do NOT paste it into the channel if you do as it may be a lot ) [03:52] How does one change the Compiz hotkeys? [03:52] is 'gtk+-2.0' a package? [03:53] (Preferably graphical dialog, but I'll hit gconf if necessary.) [03:53] nvidia-settings-manager will still work with glx-new [03:53] slashzul: And did you already pastebin the output of "mount" ? [03:53] cabbage, isn't it in the settings? [03:53] k i will install it and try it out..last time i had problems with it [03:53] Cabbage: get the compiz settings manager its in the package manager [03:53] neil_d: Good man. Will that work with any command within the terminal? [03:54] JackTehLad: I think so. [03:54] JackTehLad: I find "$ ps -AF | grep -" handy too [03:54] pvl1: It isn't. [03:55] neil_d: Ah yes, the kill command. I was just searching for that. I came across "kill $(pgrep processname)" [03:55] Cabbage: its called compizconfig-settings-manager [03:55] its the gui for all of compiz and its plugins [03:55] shujah_ thanks i am gonna see if it sticks [03:55] JackTehLad: neil_d You can also just "pkill name" [03:55] metalpres: Thanks. Ow. That might need to reported as a bug; there's no way to tell without some digging what's stealing all these darn shortcuts. [03:56] is there any easy way to only redirect the _errors_ from a given command into a file? like if i 'cp' a bunch of files..i want only the errors to be output to a log [03:56] cabbage im compiling, how can i tell it that i have gtk2.0 engine installed? [03:56] ubunubi: command 2> file [03:56] Jordan_U: OMG!!! === damn is now known as Guest32264 [03:56] cube you will have to go to display - change the setting - apply the changes - save it as xorg dont mergew it [03:56] Jordan_U: thanks [03:56] ubunubi: np [03:56] Jordan_U: That totally works. [03:57] neil_d, Jordan_U: TYMV for the help. [03:57] pvl1: dpkg -l | grep libgtk2 [03:57] JackTehLad: np [03:57] what does grep do? [03:57] Ajax_: parses text looking for a matching text string [03:57] thanks [03:57] man grep? [03:57] how do i get rid of compiz-fusion? [03:58] CostaRicanQuaker, dont uninstall compiz, if you want to stop using it. then just disable it. [03:58] when trying to use libpam-encfs. /var/log/auth.log has "...[error: /lib/security/pam_encfs.so undefined symbol: __stack_chk_fail_local]" what is wrong ? is this a bug ? [03:58] CostaRicanQuaker, remove it [03:58] sudo apt-get remove conpiz [03:58] Ajax_: :( [03:58] CostaRicanQuaker: i'd suggest disabling it also. do _not_ uninstall it. [03:58] CostaRicanQuaker: make sure you disable it first before you remove it. [03:58] Dr_willis why? [03:58] Compiz might be part of the base package. DISABLE only. [03:59] base ubuntu-desktop package*, rather. [03:59] ok, how do i disable it then? [03:59] CostaRicanQuaker: Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects [03:59] synaptic package manager? [03:59] Jordan_U: would you happen to know a way to initialize my keyboard without having to log out/back in///restart my X session [03:59] re-initialize* [03:59] from the shel.ll i mean [03:59] how do i disable compiz from the shell [03:59] ubunubi: Why does it need to be re-initialized? [03:59] CostaRicanQuaker, metacity --replace [04:00] what is a ''shell" I never understood that [04:00] CostaRicanQuaker, dude a much easier way is to go to Menu> System > Preferences > Appearence > Visual effects and lower 'em [04:00] Jordan_U: sometimes my ctrl/shift/alt keys stop working, then i can't Capitalized, or press any symbols on my keyboard. only way to fix (currently) is to log out and back in [04:00] metalpres: I've installed compizconfig-settings-manager, but don't have any additional configuration dialogs or commandline tools (that I can find). [04:00] Ajax_, a 'program' that one uses for a command line interface. [04:00] Cabbage, im not sure what im looking at. im compiling gproftpd, but i can get it fine from synaptic. imtrying to install it this way bc im trying to customize it [04:00] What am I supposed to be looking for? [04:00] or install fusion icon and select metacity [04:00] Ajax_, or perhaps someother slightly different diffeance. :) [04:00] ubunubi: Try "reset" but that probably won't do it [04:00] From my memory banks, a shell is what wraps around the kernal of the OS to let you interact with it? ... somethin like that. [04:00] how i can delete derctory from the console ? [04:00] Dr_willis_: like terminal? [04:00] lnx: rmdir [04:01] lnx: or all files underneath it as well with: rm -r [04:01] Ajax_, a 'terminal emulator' like xterm, runs a 'shell' to give the user the shell interface. [04:01] can anyone help me?? [04:01] Jordan_U: how would that know I mean my keyboard? :P [04:01] hello [04:01] I just done mistakke in kernel... [04:01] Ajax_, you can run any of several dozen different shells. [04:01] Dr_Willis__ : do i have to add something to this metacity --replace ? or that will suffice to disable it? i-m currently getting rid of xubuntu so i want to copy this into a file [04:01] how i can complity reset all the compiz config (ccsm) settings ? [04:01] This is first time in XChat [04:02] I still don't understand the purpose of SHell [04:02] rnartos: what is the problem? [04:02] I execute "make modules" then.. stop it in the middle of process and do "make driver/.../.../asdasd" then perform "make modules_install" [04:02] after a reboot, my mouse, network and sound not working [04:02] Ajax_: Please read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_shell [04:02] ubunubi: It wouldn't, I was thinking you were in a tty ( forgot you were talking about X ) and had probably been just messing around cating randomness :) ( which can change settings in the shell that make the keyboard unusable ) [04:02] lnx, try moveing .config/compiz to another name :) if that works delete that dir. [04:02] so should I do "make clean", "make modules" and "make modules_install" again to fix that?? [04:02] Ajax_: That will allow you to understand what a shell is. [04:03] rnartos: why stop it in the middle of process? [04:03] Cabbage: System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings [04:03] cirkit: So terminal is a shell? [04:03] ubunubi: reset simply re-initialises the shell, so it won't help you :( [04:03] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_(computing) [04:03] Ajax_, whats the purpose of anytying.. :) its a tool the user uses to do things. a terminal is NOt a shell.. a terminal runs a shell. [04:03] Ajax_: Basically, yes. [04:03] djhash: coz I should not do "make modules" [04:03] Jordan_U: nope. from within X(gnome desktop). it seems if i use my keypad while in a Vmware Virtual Machine (or toggle numlock on and off), when I shurtown vmware my keyboard modifier keys are somehow corrupted within gnome/X/session [04:03] Dr_Willis__ : do i have to add something to this metacity --replace ? or that will suffice to disable it? i-m currently getting rid of xubuntu so i want to copy this into a file to enter it later [04:03] Dr_Willis_:Don't answer questions with questions [04:03] djhash: mistaken by that I just need "make driver/.../..." [04:04] Ajax_: A terminal emulator uses a shell, it's close enough that you can see them as being the same and not get in trouble but one uses the other [04:04] Ajax_: Think of a shell as the "command line" where you enter in "commands" to tell the operating system what to execute for you. [04:04] CostaRicanQuaker, no idea. depends on what window manager you use. In gnome theres the visual effects settings you could use. [04:04] Jordan_U: i want to run whatever reinitalization command restarting X does to reset my keyboard -- manually [04:04] the problem is that I never execute "make clean" after that mistake [04:04] Dr_willis__ where is this dir ? [04:04] can anyone tell me how to stay anonymous in irc? [04:04] lnx, its in the users home directory [04:04] i'm on kde currently [04:04] im having a problem compiling, can someone help? [04:04] rnartos: yes.. do a clean then do the proper command.. don't know too much about make/compiling though.. [04:04] why would you want to emulate a tereminal? When I have one that works fine [04:05] Guest32264: On freenode you only can to a certain extent [04:05] Ajax_, have one what that works fine? [04:05] I wish there's an expert in recompiling Kernel here [04:05] Terminal [04:05] Guest80743: proxy server, unfortunatly or i guess in some cases fortunatly, most irc servers block known proxies [04:05] Ajax_, you have a serial terminal? :) in theory all the fancy 'terminal programs' are emulating the original serial terminal devices. [04:05] djhash: I'm just following instruction in installing a new driver for my wlan [04:05] Guest32264: If you want to use freenode with a proxy you have to have a nick which is registered [04:05] Ajax_, you are thinking 'emulate' in the wrong way. :) [04:05] but end messing the whole system [04:06] Now, What is a "Serial Terminal?" [04:06] rnartos: There are people in here who know how to compile a kernel. [04:06] TOR works well for being anonymous on irc, but almost every server ive seen blocks TOR ip's [04:06] Ajax_, now you are getting in the history of comptuers and how us old timers used to do things. [04:06] cirkit: can you help me? [04:06] In what context should I think about "emulate" [04:06] Jordan_U: actually, that's not a requirement for using a proxy. The proxy simply has to not be detected as open or needs to be tor [04:06] Ajax_: serial ports [04:06] cirkit: well.. i hope someone would volunteer to help him.. lol.. [04:06] rnartos: What is the problem? [04:06] rnartos: http://www.digitalhermit.com/linux/Kernel-Build-HOWTO.html#PREPARATION [04:06] Ajax_, xterm emulated a 'vt100' serial terminal. is why its called a terminal emulator. [04:06] !kernel [04:07] Inx:: you still there? open ccsm and go to Preferences>Profiles&Backend and hit "reset to defaults" [04:07] Ajax_, You trying to start a philosophical discussion about shells? [04:07] rnartos: Please bookmark that web link as it is a great resource to learn how to compile a kernel. [04:07] Dr_willis__ iget this error failed to remove `/home/lnx/.config/compiz/': Directory not empty [04:07] * CostaRicanQuaker regrets uttering the word shell [04:07] Adam-S:trying to understand Shell [04:07] lnx, move it..or remove it totally/recursively...

If not I don't think your trying very hard. [04:07] lnx, you could use your file manager. or the shell. rm -rf .whateverdirectory [04:08] !cloak | sheep Guest32264 [04:08] sheep Guest32264: Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as !TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [04:08] Does anyone know how i can put a .bin file at the boot sector of a USB device? [04:08] Adam-S:workin on it [04:08] Kohlrak: Using dd VERRY carefully [04:08] can someone help me compile? [04:08] Kohlrak, what sort of .bin file is this - that fits onteh bootsector? [04:08] Hi [04:08] hey all, i need help with vx700 xorg.conf [04:08] pvl1: What are you trying to compile? [04:08] anybody experienced? [04:09] Dr_willis, it's an example of a bootable program. [04:09] anyone build a point of sale machine using ubuntu as the os? [04:09] Kohlrak, if its a 'mbr' you could use dd i guess. [04:09] Jordan_U, gporftpd, goes fine from synaptic, but i need to change a dir in the config [04:09] thanks, i'll try to find out how to use dd XD [04:09] Kohlrak, dont do it to any drives/fileststen with data you value. :) [04:10] jords, says No package 'gtk+-2.0' found, but i have gtk2.0engine installed, and it goes fine from synaptic, as i said [04:10] metalpres: Thanks. Still no luck finding a setting for mouse-centering. D: [04:10] Dr_willis__ : i already set it to no effects on the system preferences, what do i have to do now? remove? or log out and log back in? [04:10] Dr_willis, i reformatted the USB just for this reason XD [04:10] CostaRicanQuaker, setting gnome settings while you are using kde.. wont do much. [04:11] CostaRicanQuaker, You may want to head to the compiz-fusion channel. I have given up on messing whth compiz. [04:11] !compiz | CostaRicanQuaker [04:11] CostaRicanQuaker: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [04:11] rnartos: Once you have finished with "make menuconfig", please double check and ensure all your modules are selected like your sound, video, and anything else you say doesn't work after reboot. After this is completed, "make dep", "make clean", "make bzImage", "make modules", "sudo make modules_install" - I do highly recommend taking a look at that link I gave you too, as it explains what all this does. [04:11] waht is the concern about just removing it? [04:12] CostaRicanQuaker, it you just remove it.. and you are still configured to be using it.. it will confuse things [04:12] rnartos: this might be more benefical to read first as it is more closely related to the "Ubuntu" way @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [04:13] where is the default folder apache on Ubuntu keeps web content? [04:14] michael_: /var/www [04:14] thanks [04:14] cirkit: thanks [04:15] Adic_Male [04:15] is there a way to make shortcuts in ubuntu?

[04:18] igor_: install the nvidia drivers [04:18] i did [04:18] How does GNOME define the variable 'GenericName'? [04:18] igor_: then use nvidia-settings to set up dual monitors [04:18] because i installed it a while back on my laptop and it didn't support it well, but i've seen livecds that do now, just wondering if i should bother trying the new release [04:19] why cant i list channels here ? [04:19] Guest32264: try /msg alis list *pattern* [04:19] Guest32264: Do you mean in the Freenode network? [04:20] Mmmm this is gonna sound funny but sometimes my mouse is eaten by the evil screen ;p the cursor will disapear.... [04:21] Jordan_U, so is there a way to turn off the pkg search or something? [04:23] i just installed SUSE 11 and my nVidia 8400gs works just fine - wobbly screnn with cube and all - why cant it work with Ubuntu - on ubuntu after enabling restricted drivers i boot to black screen - i have to reboot and to failsafe to fix X - when drivers are selected from system-administartion hardware drivers- is idicates in use but no 3d effects- after reboot it becomes disabled [04:25] Does anyone know how i can update the map on garmin 200w with my linux?

[04:27] mstk: if you have KDE-desktop installed [04:27] can i switch between GNU and KDE within the same session w/ KDE-desktop? [04:28] what is the standard way in gnome to minimize a program to tray? === phish is now known as phishy [04:29] yao_ziyuan: tray or taskbar? [04:29] ubunubi: tray [04:29] yao_ziyuan: the program has to support it afaik [04:30] there are some 'force programs to systemtray' programs in the package manager [04:30] yao_ziyuan alltray gives some support for that [04:30] !info alltray [04:30] alltray (source: alltray): Dock any program into the system tray. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.69-1ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 58 kB, installed size 224 kB [04:31] can i run KDE programs within a Gnome environment? [04:31] MSTK yes [04:31] alltray looks interesting. gonna try it myself :) [04:31] Im trying to figure out a way to get a systemtray into jwm. :P [04:32] i'm trying to run Kopete on Gnome, but when i run the program nothing happens. I'm wondering if it's a simple matter of KDE/Gnome or if it's something else. [04:32] Dr_willis: installing all tray doesn't seem to put it on a menu anywhere..is it gui based? === phishy is now known as phish [04:32] ubunubi, when in doubt 'man COMMAND' [04:32] ubunubi, i think its command line. [04:33] ubunubi and also, /usr/share/doc/ [04:33] ubuntu 8.04 missing controls for removable media [04:33] how do I configure to Ubuntu to allow/disallow removable media popup ? [04:33] ubunubi: there is a gui for alltray but its pretty useless [04:34] hey, can i run ubuntu mid edition in a pc [04:34] ubunubi: to use it just type alltray and it will run it in the tray [04:34] metalpres: yeah read the man page, thanks, will try [04:34] you can modify your shortcuts to use it as well [04:34] works pretty nicely [04:35] that makes my day! [04:35] i was just compiling a plugin for pidging to do that earlier [04:35] pidgin* [04:35] yea i use it all the time, got like 10 apps that run in the tray, keeps every nice and neat [04:35] anyone experience dns problem in 8.04? or perhaps, 8.04.1 fixed this [04:35] there is aprogram in ubuntu that can replace "Derive 6" in windows ? [04:35] Anyone know if I can restart my sound drivers without restarting my computer ? [04:35] metalpres:: yeah i'm a desktop neatfraek. and i only have room for about 6 apps on my window list down on the taskbar [04:36] lnx, i ve used derive be4, it kicks ass [04:36] how can i tell ./configure to not look for gtk+-2.0 [04:36] Anyone know if there're any programs similar to this one for Ubuntu (http://www.opanda.com/en/iexif/)? Yes, I could possibly try it with wine, but if there's something native ... all the better. [04:36] er a ./configure [04:36] cruddpuppet: you need to restart the sound server (alsa probably) [04:36] ubunubi you might like using the window selector applet, it provides a list of open windows in a dropdown [04:36] bluelight yea but i need program to do things like this [04:36] Dmseg: Any idea on how I can do that? [04:36] (Note: I'm looking at this Windows program as it allows the user to view EXIF in FF) [04:36] nickrud: i already tried one. i hated it. i need to see certain ones on the task bar all the time [04:37] Naisenu, can't you view that data in gimp? [04:37] lwizardl, see the note :) [04:37] cruddpuppet: yes what version of ubuntu are you running anything extra like sound mixers (stuff on the backgrond) [04:37] ubunubi me also. But I still use it, nice for switching to apps not on the same desktop [04:37] Naisenu, ah i see you view that in firefox [04:37] guys whats the terminal command to take a screenshot [04:38] Bah oh well. [04:38] i just got some windows apps running and wanna show my windows friends [04:38] Dmseg: No other sound mixers. I am running the Ubuntu version right before 7.10 [04:38] maybe get them to switch to linux too :D [04:38] lnx, wine, i guess. but it will suck if you do you homework wrong. i rather use vmware, or just use xp [04:38] Naisenu: i'd look for a firefox plugin maybe instead of a program for the OS [04:39] EnMasse187, well my PrtScn button on my keyboard works in gnome desktop [04:39] Naisenu: its firefox embeded you have firefox dont you it will do just fine as an externsion and clubed with WINE it will give out fantastic results [04:39] Otherwise, why can't I run compiz-fusion on a dual monitor setup? It plain refuses to work. I know my gfx card supports it, because it worked on a single monitor setup. [04:39] ewwwkay .. well so much fer that [04:39] Naisenu: i've never seen a working compiz-fusion dual monitor setup :P (atleast not one using the official drivers) [04:39] Naisenu not sure exactly what the size is, but there's a physical limit to the size of a compiz desktop [04:39] Naisenu: and definately not ATI :P [04:40] ubunubi, good i don't like ATI :) [04:40] Naisenu: i did/do, unless i'm working with linux [04:40] ubunubi: I had one with beryl and nvidia a while ago, before i got desensitized to flashy graphics :Z [04:40] Mine has a weird scrolling thing though. Like the max size for the smaller one is 1280*1024, which it is set to === Gabriel_Padoan_ is now known as GabrielPadoan [04:41] But it overflows.

[04:42] For some reason the bin doesn't work well with the usb boot method. Does anyone know how i can write the .bin file to a cd img to burn? === phish` is now known as phish [04:42] dmseg: Pulse audio system? wat [04:43] ubunubi: don't remember too much hassles setting it up either. iirc it was on gentoo though, so may be different [04:43] cruddpuppet: your sound server! (it gives out sound) [04:44] hey folks. is gparted capable of resizing ntfs partitions? [04:44] cruddpuppet: sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio start [04:44] maxxism, yea, but i think it needs something to go with it fronm synaptics [04:45] Kohlrak any idea what I might need? I know ntfs-3g is installed. [04:45] bash: /etc/init.d/pulseaudio: No such file or directory [04:45] I'm assuming I don't have pulseaudio [04:45] How can I get KDE's theme to have an effect on Firefox? [04:45] maxxism: the latest gparted will resize just fine but be sure to make a backup (it is very risky and data loss is scarry) [04:45] it's been a long time maxxism... Maybe google it... One thingi do know is the partition must be first unmounted [04:46] jbell730 i dont think you can.... [04:46] Ok, thanks [04:46] jbell730 just find a nice theme that fits. I am sure there is some kde themes on mozillas website [04:46] maxxism: gparted will do fine read my other message as well [04:46] dmseg thanx mang. [04:47] anybody familiar with any fix to keep google earth from crashing upon initialization i would appreciate... seems to be some prob associated with graphics card driver, but i have not been able to correct the driver problem [04:47] maxxism: backup is nessary!!!!!!!! [04:47] dmseg i did backup already. never know. hehe [04:47] dmseg: I think I am running alsa, as I found a file called alsa-utils [04:47] dmseg: However, to restart, I'm required to put in the card name as one of the arguments, which I don't know [04:47] cruddpuppet: kk ill just google and see [04:48] dmseg: Do you know what to google for? If so, I'll search [04:48] is there i can keep my mouse pointer from turning into that dumb "busy" circle? [04:48] a way* [04:48] don't be busy [04:48] i can still click things when it's busy just fine! multi core ftw [04:48] cruddpuppet: googling is an art (heh) just keep searching your question! [04:49] ubunubi: I think you can change your cursors somewhere in preferences, but I am not sure [04:49] dmseg: Will do. [04:49] cruddpuppet: i looked under "mouse" settings..no options there [04:50] Question: I installed rxvt-unicode, but i have no idea how to open it. Thoughts? [04:50] sorry i have to go iam paged will see you later bye all [04:50] thanx dm [04:50] I used to dual-boot Ubuntu & Windows. I deleted Windows partition, moved Ubuntu partition to the front of hard drive, and expanded it to fill entire disk. Now system hangs after BIOS with a blinking cursor in top left... any suggestions? [04:51] jetriod:: need to install grub [04:51] n/m, i found it, but its weird heh. Need to talk to unop later [04:51] Does anyone one use a gps [04:52] Does anyone know how i can write a file to the boot sector of a cd? I'd try dd, but i don't know what the out should be. [04:52] ubunubi: ok. is that easy? Also, i have my disk set up like this: [ 4GB Swap | 70GB Ubuntu ]. could it be a problem that swap is at the front? [04:52] jetroid:: not ideal..but shouldn't harm anything [04:53] Kohlrak is this to make the cd bootable? [04:53] jeriod:: it's real easy..or should be [04:53] maxxism, yes [04:53] ubunubi: what is ideal? can i install grub with synaptic package manager? (i'm guessing no...) [04:53] ubunubi: mouse pointers is in system>pref>appearance>theme tab>customize>pointers [04:54] anybody familiar with any fix to keep google earth from crashing upon initialization i would appreciate... seems to be some prob associated with graphics card driver, but i have not been able to correct the driver problem [04:54] legend2440: thanks, i'll look into that! was just hunting through gconf...nasty in there [04:54] Kohlrak I think nero for linux might be able to do boot sector files. [04:54] jetroid: no, you'll have to boot from a LiveCD to install grub [04:54] caarbuntu, chances are, if the problem is graphics card driver related, not much you can do but fix the driver [04:55] maxxism, thanks i'll try that [04:55] Kohlrak normally i dont like to push comercial soft. but its worth a shot. [04:55] ubunubi: i'm in live cd right now... [04:55] jetroid:: k, check your PM i'll walk you through it [04:56] kohlrak, guess i will just uninstall it, cause every time i try to fix the graphics and screenres issue i just have more probs [04:56] hm, I only have my motherboard with two built in nics ... and they show up as eth3 and eth4, anyway I could rename them in the distro? [04:57] carbuntu, what do you mean? [04:58] @all how do i connect to both wireless AND cable (on different networks) at the same time ? [04:59] Kohlrak: just everytime i try to fix my screenres and graphics probs it just gets worse... went frm 600 x 800 to 480 x 320 or something yester day, somehow i got back to 800 which is not great, but have to live with it i guess [04:59] gets "worse" what is the problem that gets worse? [05:00] i used some of the fixes people suggested, but they dint work [05:00] Guest32264 interesting question. why would this need to be done is mine? [05:01] is there some program that looks like this http://static.flickr.com/112/284328104_6995c6f4b7_o.jpg , or globalmenu, formerly known as macmenu? [05:02] Guest32264 i found this thread. check it. maybe in the right direction... http://forum.osnn.net/showthread.php?t=91987 [05:02] i can't get it working on ubuntu 8.04 [05:02] legend2440: i found the pointers section. sadly only lets me choose another pointer theme, not edit/change the busy icon alone [05:03] thx maxxism [05:03] Hi. I'm new to Ubuntu and was wondering if there are any updates fixing the bugs with Firefox 3 in 8.04 [05:03] mib_l5ozer: Is that mac? or ubuntu? o.O [05:03] randolph_carter which bugs would those be? [05:04] cruddpuppet: its ubuntu well theres a app called globalmenu i cant get it goin tho [05:04] mib_l5ozer: Would that be that dock thing on the bottom? [05:04] The main one is sometimes I'll open Firefox and the top bar is gone... can't minimize, maximize, or exit [05:04] weird [05:04] yeag [05:04] randolph_carter if you dont like the version of Firefox 3 in the repos. you could always download a binary straight from mozilla. [05:04] cruddpuppet: yeah.. you know anything like that ? [05:05] randolph_carter: that's a Compiz-fusion problem, not a firefox one [05:05] mib_l5ozer: There was one written for adesklets, but I haven't been able to get it working either [05:05] ubunubi: oohh... [05:05] ?? [05:05] :) [05:05] good call ubunubi. [05:05] I'm so new to this I have no idea what you're talking about :) [05:05] randolph_carter: install fusion-icon and and then alt+f2 and type compiz --replace [05:06] randolph_carter go back into appearance and turn off your visual effects. it should fix the problem. [05:06] um... [05:06] Is there any way to get the real firefox default theme that came with firefox 3 beta, like on windows? With the big round back button and the spiffy forward button connected to it? [05:06] oh [05:06] ok [05:06] that I get :) [05:06] anybody else know any globalmenu or mac menu bar look alike programs? [05:06] Thanks so much! :) You guys are so nice [05:06] guys, i have downloaded the USB ADSL modem manager, and i get this error: [05:06] error: dependency is not satisfiable: python-gnome-extras [05:07] whenever i try to run it [05:07] FuRom, go to Tools/Addons/Themes, get more themes, lookup Phoenity Reborn [05:07] I can't install j2sdk1.4 , I am using sudo apt-get install j2sdk1.4 but It cannot find the package, any tips ?? :-| [05:07] randolph_carter: np. compiz still has lots of little annoyances. once the newness of 3D cube-desktop wears off..i find most people disable it ;) [05:07] ubunubi. what is fusion-icon? [05:07] vexati0n, thanks. Monotony avoided ^_^ [05:07] maxxism: an easy way to cause compiz to reload (or metacity) [05:07] maxxism:: gives you a menu bar to change window decorators or force reloads..to fix menu issues/etc [05:08] maxxism:: er, system tray applet [05:08] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=585647 [05:08] maxxism: its a system-tray icon which will offer you a few direct and easy ways to the settings and reloading of window managers. [05:08] yeah..what s_spiff said. i suck at summarizing [05:08] vexati0n, spiffy! I have some even fancier buttons than before. Thanks very much. ^_^ [05:08] ubunubi. good one to know thanx. i must be stuck under a rock with intel video. it just works. [05:08] mib_l5ozer: http://www.kiba-dock.org/index.php?option=com_mambowiki&Itemid=39 [05:08] :P [05:08] mib_l5ozer: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=200987 [05:08] i haven't disabled compiz after 2 years of using it (or some variation).. i've just toned down the effects [05:09] it adds a lot of usability imho [05:09] I think those two might be able to help you find what you are looking for, although it is not exactly waht you wanted [05:09] hello [05:09] vexati0n: i got tired of windows randmly losing menus and borders. and i like to run games..both of which generally preclude compiz :P [05:09] eh. games work OK if you have an nvidia card. if you're trying to do it with intel, then yeah you're pretty screwed. [05:09] I find "Normal" to be fine in visual effects. [05:10] holy shit, someone help me, I just ran compiz --replace and now my computer is lagging [05:10] aaaaah [05:10] until Intel decides to fix their half-arsed driver [grumble grumble] [05:10] cruddpuppet, switch to metacity [05:10] hey guys, whenever i run USB ADSL modem manager(by StevenHarper - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=585647), i get this error: error: dependency is not satisfiable: python-gnome-extras [05:10] Shujah_: how?

[05:15] depends on which video card you have [05:15] but it can [05:15] cool [05:16] nvidia card owners are luckier in that respect to performance [05:16] most FPS from ID can run by default on Linux [05:16] thats is no/minute tweaking is required [05:16] ubunubi: Package: python-gnome2-extras (2.19.1-0ubuntu7) ?? [05:17] Yazan`: yes [05:17] hi, what's the best code editor in the ubuntu environment? [05:17] ubunnubi but i keep reading all these articles on how nvidia only providing binary drivers is a problem for linux?? even though I have always used nvidia(until now intel) before and found them to be very well supported. [05:17] gedit ! [05:17] !list [05:17] 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 [05:17] maxxism: it's a problem because linux users don't like closed source..and because the community can't help fix things faster -- _not_ because the drivers aren't okay themselves [05:18] hi, how do i choose which jdk/jre will be used during session? [05:18] ubunubi how is AMD coming now that they are pushing linux on ATI??? [05:18] maxxism: slowly and very rocky :( [05:19] maxxism:: i tried the newest 8.6 drivers...performance was worse and buggier than 8.4 [05:19] ubunubi sad. i had high hopes. [05:19] maxxism:: some people report okay success. kinda depends on which ati card you have...the HD series are still poorly supported, older cards got lots of bug fixes in 8.6...supposedly. but there were lots of bug regressions also [05:20] moshe, sudo update-alternatives --config java [05:20] Shujah_: thank you! :) [05:20] i do need to reboot right? [05:20] moshe, nope rstart firefox/ any application using java [05:21] hey guys [05:21] moshe, oughta change browser java plugin too > sudo update-alternatives --config xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so [05:21] what'sup [05:21] Anyone have experience with ProFTPd?

[05:25] Why use alternatives for? [05:25] I try to always get the authors version [05:25] can anyone familiar with compiling things from source -- tell me how i can determine where the file(s) "make" (not make install) outputs ?? [05:25] bullgard1, between keyboard shortcuts & mouse :P [05:25] I hate the GNU Java Compiler specifically. [05:26] bullgard4 its under system > preferences [05:26] Shujah_: Can you be more specific: I do not use a mouse. What keyboard shortcuts do you mean? [05:26] you can also right click on applications and click Edit Menu [05:26] ubunubi: you can use "make -n" to show what will be done without actually doing it [05:26] hello [05:26] ubunubi: i got this error now: Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libgda3-3 [05:27] Shujah_: yuck, jEdit looks horrible with sun java [05:27] Yazan`: repeat the same process in synaptic and download libgda3-3 [05:27] Yazan`: it's not rocket science :P [05:27] Yazan`, ubunubi you may need the -dev package for it [05:27] ubunubi: i cannot connect to the internet [05:27] yo [05:27] while running on ubuntu [05:27] bullgard1, open menu > system > preferences > main menu <--an entry [05:28] ks3: yeah that outputs a bunch of stuff..but i dont know how to decipher all that to find out where the compiled program is being output [05:28] ubunubi: synaptic requires internet connection? [05:28] bullgard4: in terminal type alacarte [05:28] Yazan`: yes [05:28] then i can't do such process.... [05:28] Yazan`: to retreive packages from repositories, yes [05:28] Yazan`: you didn't state that in your initial request. ..search for that library wherever you got the last dependency [05:29] is there a "meta-repo" for a development suite for ubuntu? that installs all the apps you might need for developing? I would like to learn to program for linux. [05:29] Has anyone had difficulty with FTP using LAMPP? [05:29] maxxism, build-essential installs c libraries and gcc, but not any GUIs [05:30] maxxism, manpages-dev gives you development man pages, and for GUIs just look for your criteria in synaptic [05:30] !list [05:30] Hi!

[05:32] maxxism, i personally recommend the python and glade route [05:32] gluer: it currently works. What do you mean?

I sust want Hardy to forget I even have fglrx [05:36] kupfersalz: last warning [05:36] FingerSoup, synaptic custom filters > marked changes & broken [05:36] when i do it with the keybinding [05:36] FingerSoup, can you pastebin a log of what happens when you type "sudo apt-get install" [05:36] it works [05:36] I honestly haven't tried to fix it [05:36] but not when i close it [05:37] name the pastebin and I'll have it there in a few moments [05:37] !pastebin | FingerSoup [05:37] FingerSoup: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

I have a remote that emulates a USB keyboard. What program can I use to see what codes the buttons fire out? [05:40] and its not geting better .... [05:40] ubunubi: Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libgda3-common [05:41] lol... [05:41] Shujah_: Under the menu System > Preferences > Main menu there is no menu item 'xmms2' to be found. What do you tell? [05:41] Hi guys, I need help with thunderbird. So I set it up my gmail account to work with thunderbird through IMAP. The thing is, if I delete in thunderbird, I delete in gmail. Is there a way to make it so that it does not delete a message in gmail but deletes in thunderbird? [05:41] :( [05:41] when iam not plugind in then i start XCFE [05:41] pop3 [05:41] this saves me about 40 minutes more then gnome oder kde [05:41] bullgard1, add a new item while in sound video [05:41] Yazan`: then search and find a libgda3-common deb ...probably whereever you downloaded the other 2-3 so far [05:41] marvin__ there should be an option to leave messages on the server.... [05:41] Hmmm. pop 3 actualy tries to download all my e-mails. Not the most recent ones [05:41] FingerSoup, ok so you have the ati driver installed manually now? ati.com? [05:41] Ok, let me try to find it first maxxism [05:42] marvin__ possibly in the account settings area.. [05:42] Shujah_: Your messages are not helpful. [05:42] yes. the ones that came with hardy had some issues after a recompile enabling ALSA.... [05:43] bullgard1, name: XMMS, command: xmms comment: XMMS, download xmms icon from somewhere and add it too [05:43] ubunubi: yeah...i'm downloading ALL packages [05:43] maxxism: I do not see it under account settings [05:43] so i dont have to reboot again [05:43] and again [05:43] bullgard1, dude dont you see a button "new" in main menu? [05:43] Yazan`: or you could look up documentation for that program and find a list of it's dependencies [05:44] so I attempted removal which failed, then installed off ATI.com as per a guide in the forums. Now I can't use package managers... [05:44] marvin__ possibly in your account settings in gmail. log into gmail using your browser and check in there. [05:44] ubunubi: doesn't have [05:44] :( [05:44] marvin__, go to gmail.com and change your settings from there, tell it to archive gmail mails [05:44] Shujah_: Ok, let me try [05:45] Yazan`: you dont have a second computer you can use? [05:46] FingerSoup, yea this is not an easy problem. i dont know what to suggest but it's not good to have apackage with a broken state. what happens if you try to reinstall the repository one? sudo apt-get --reinstall install xorg-driver-fglrx [05:46] so, is there an option in thunderbird for what you said maxxism? [05:46] ubunubi: nope, but i found the post i should of seen already [05:47] is there a howto to compile the latest alsa and make ubuntu use it? [05:47] It forces me to uninstall it when I give that command..... [05:47] Basically anything I do has it marked for complete removal, and it blocks EVERYTHING.... [05:47] FingerSoup, why dont you uninstall then reinstall the package? [05:47] Basically anything I do has it marked for complete removal, and it blocks EVERYTHING.... [05:47] marvin__ there should be somewhere. sorry i dont use thunderbird. but i think just about every email client for the past 10 years had that feature [05:48] i see, I can't to seem to find it [05:48] let me do a google search [05:48] hi [05:49] DAVID VILLA [05:49] Are there any 7.1 sound cards which work under ubuntu? [05:49] test1234, audigy 2 zs , i know at least 5.1 works, havent tried 7.1 [05:50] DAVID VILLA [05:50] ikonia: u here tonight? [05:50] xtknight; ok .. lemme see [05:51] Marvin__ There definitely is an option on the GMail server that will force it to save on the server. Thunderbird also has the option, at least on the Windows version of the client. Unfortunately it's a dual boot system Ii'm on.... [05:51] maxxism: ok, i think the problem is because I'm using IMAP [05:52] FingerSoup, really? Are you referring to the archive function? or is there another way? [05:52] marvin__ I think Shujah_ was on the right track. [05:52] maxxism, yeah me to. looks like the leave message option is only for pop3 [05:52] in gmail or in Thunderbird? [05:52] marvin__ log into your gmail accound and tell it to archive. [05:53] cena [05:53] marvin__ if you're using imap with google, all the messages stay on the server. Unless I missed something earlier [05:53] how do I do that? do I have to do it manually for all messages? === tedjo007 is now known as cena [05:53] If you delete something in imap, it is deleted. === cena is now known as tedjo007 [05:53] marvin__, gmail>setting>pop and forwarding settings as far as i can recall [05:53] marvin__ hm, are you sure? I have things with labels (aka imap folders) and also in inbox, when I delete inbox, they stay in the folder [05:54] nickrud let me try [05:54] ok if I want to record a sound that I am playing with the sound recorder what should i set it to record from for the best sound? [05:55] what should I download to get Hardy to recognize my Nvidia 8600 GT? [05:55] marvin__, drbo1 nothing :P [05:55] FingerSoup, you can remove the Package: block for xorg-driver-fglrx from /var/lib/dpkg/status this may fix it. is it a good idea? probably not but unless someone else can suggest a better way, you've got my recommendation [05:56] marvin__ if I remember correctly if you delete an email in thunderbird it just labels as like IMAP/Trash but doesn't actually delete it [05:57] laxbair oh [05:57] let me do a test run [05:57] ;) [05:57] marvin__ I also just tried it in thunderbird, I had a message in my ubuntu-user list. Deleted it there, but shows up in Gmail/All Mail [05:58] ubunubi: everything working quite well! now...i have to know how to run it... [05:58] im looking for a way to access a lot of music files over the internet using a password protected server. what would be the easiest way to do that with enough speed to stream it? [05:58] marvin__ then deleted it from imap/trash, it's still in gmail/all mail. Imap actions in gmail simply manipulate labels [05:59] Yazan`: alt+f2...then type the program name [05:59] nickrud hmm let me try [05:59] i'll send a test e-mail to myself [05:59] ubunubi: i only have the package...i dont know how to open the GUI [05:59] Yazan`: is it a *.deb package/ [05:59] yes [05:59] and i installed it [06:00] but i want to the GUI program to appear [06:00] or [06:00] uh oh [06:00] Yazan`: what was the deb package's name? [06:00] for me [06:00] when I delete an e-mail it deletes from teh gmail to [06:00] usbadslmodemmanager_0.5.8_i386 [06:01] god damn my ball itch. maybe you can scratch them? [06:01] nickrud, when you delete an e-mail from thunderbird, does it change its location in gmail? [06:01] marvin__: that's a setting that can be disabled [06:01] hi [06:01] ubunubi: usbadslmodemmanager_0.5.8_i386 [06:01] marvin__ I can always find it in the gmail/all mail [06:01] I put a bash file in /etc/init.d and it NOT ran when i logged into my pc. it has permissions. [06:01] hmmm, and you are using IMAP [06:01] -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2008-07-12 01:00 files.sh [06:01] something is definitely going on with my thunderbird ;) [06:01] marvin__ but I may have set that as ubunubi is mentioning and have forgotten === tshine is now known as tshine_afk [06:02] Yazan`: open a terminal and try usbadslmodemmanager [06:02] oh the user is root. therefore it won't execute as me when i log in. [06:02] marvin__ yes, just started doing so. Took a while to transfer all my mail from my server to gmail, but worth it [06:02] ubunubi: ok, i took that answer in hold...i'll look for other answers, and then try it when i reboot [06:02] nickrud: wait, can you explain your last two comments, didn't really understand it :p [06:03] xtknight - if I change the flag from deinstall ok half-installed to install ok installed - is that going to do it, and do i need a reboot? [06:03] FingerSoup, ya that might do it, and no reboot needed [06:03] Yazan`: where did you get usbadslmodemmanager*.deb from? if i can get ahold of the deb itself, i can tell you the launch command [06:03] exit [06:03] marvin__ I had an imap server out there, but the provider wasn't always reliable. So I tarred up the Maildir directory on my remote server, transferred it to my local machine, set up dovecot, and copied all the mail to gmail. [06:04] ok, i'm going to try this, I'm going to configure the settings in the config editor. [06:04] ubunubi: http://www.squeezedonkey.com/wiki/linux/index.php?title=Main_Page [06:05] but remember to have the other packages [06:05] Yazan`: "usbadslmodemmanager" is the correct command...depending on what that program does..you may need to sudo it [06:06] Has anyone reported having issues with the new update to the non-free flash from Adobe? [06:06] so, i open a terminal and type in: usbadslmodemmanager [06:06] right? [06:06] Yazan`: yes, or sudo usbadslmodemmanager depending on what it does [06:06] the thing is, when I delete a message in thunderbird, it marks it as (IMAP/Trash) [06:06] okey, thanks [06:06] then disappears from all [06:07] marvin__ that's odd, since Imap/Trash is only a label. [06:07] nickrud, it labels it, but in the "INBOX" it disapperas [06:07] so the e-mail is still there but under the IMAP/Trash label [06:07] marvin__ ah, yes! it's archived automatically. Search for it. When I say gmail/all, I'm talking about the thunderbird access [06:08] im trying to connect to an ftp server i have set up. unfortunately. when i try to i get a connection reset by peer. im attempting to mount it by sshfs [06:08] nickrud: ohhh.. haha [06:08] nickrud: where is gmail/all in thunderbird? [06:08] marvin__ actually a pain, since I get a lot of mail, and deleting it DOESN'T delete it :) [06:09] oh ok IC， so you're saying, that if I delete in thunderbird using IMAP, it goes under the IMAP/Trash "label", so it doesn't delete it [06:09] what marvelous gift od deduction :| [06:09] marvin__ I see it as a greyed subfolder of of my top level IMAP, treed from GMAIL (my account name for gmail) [06:10] hmm, my doesn't, but guess what! good news. [06:10] I go to gmail, and realize that there is an ALL Mail option [06:10] click that, voila! [06:11] :D [06:11] I'm thinking of moving the mail back to my old server, just so deleting works as I expect [06:11] thanks everyone and nickrud [06:11] hey, i just installed xen and rebooted into the new kernel, now i have 2 iface devices and my networking does not work [06:11] I guess I'll hang around a bit ;) [06:12] i originally had just eth0 as my network device and after installing xen for a amd64 system i have eth0 and peth0 and i am unable to get to my router [06:13] hi all :D i was to install FAM package via apt-get when installer begin to uninstall almost everything, i managed to ctrl+c it at time BUT most metacity themes that come with ubuntu by default are now gone, how can I do to RESTORE them? =P [06:13] martosurf start with sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [06:13] martosurf: you'll have to do a complete removal of teh metacity package and then reinstall it [06:14] marvin_: hello! how do i accomplish that? [06:14] i just installed SUSE 11 and my nVidia 8400gs works just fine - wobbly screnn with cube and all - why cant it work with Ubuntu - on ubuntu after enabling restricted drivers i boot to black screen - i have to reboot and to failsafe to fix X - when drivers are selected from system-administration hardware drivers- is indicates in use but no 3d effects- after reboot it becomes disabled [06:14] lol martosurf: go to synaptic, and [06:14] is it the ubuntu-desktop package?, if it is search the ubuntu-desktop package [06:14] marvin_: ohh yeahh, thanks a lot marvin!! [06:15] then do a complete removal, then apply. Wait though, there may be a case that you get into terminal [06:15] martosurf: if this does happen apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [06:15] Since I applied the recommended update to the Ubuntu non-free Flash package (which downloads and installs Flash 10 from Adobe) any sites that use Flash max my processor out at 100%. Has anyone else seen this? Can I go back to a previous version? [06:15] it'll reinstall everything cleanly ;) [06:15] marvin_: thanks very very much, i will do that all via console :D [06:15] hopefully ;) [06:15] err terminal =P [06:15] Imagecache requires an ImageAPI Toolkit such as ImageAPI GD or ImageAPI Imagemagick to function. <--- any ideas what package that might be? apt-cache search ImageAPI is fruitless [06:16] Nitrogen_life you mean php? [06:16] Sure, [06:16] Nitrogen_life install php5-gd [06:16] nickrud: already installed it [06:16] That's not what it is asking for :\ (I thought it was asking for that too) [06:16] Nitrogen_life should be enough, it was for drupal for me. [06:17] martosurf: the metacity package is part of ubuntu-desktop, am I correct? [06:17] Lol, that's what I'm working on too [06:17] Nitrogen_life try php5-imagemagick then :) [06:18] Ok [06:18] I need to install drupal on this laptop soon ... [06:18] what is the reason sound is low ? My sound card is onboard! My chipset is nforce 630a and the sound controller is realtek! I've moved my mixers to maximum values [06:19] well, either way, it should work :D, gl martosurf [06:19] k guys have to go! [06:19] ttyl everyone! [06:19] marvin__ it's depended upon by ubuntu-desktop, yes [06:19] novato_br: did you turn up the volume knob on the speakers themselves? (assuming they have one) [06:19] novata_br lol its your alsamixer [06:19] i'm headset, ubunubi [06:19] nickrud: hrmph... couldn't find that package (it might be because I'm on debian O_o, I thought the packages would be interchangeable) [06:20] how do you unpack tar.bz2 ? [06:20] marvin__, i did [06:20] novato_br type in alsamixer int eh terminal [06:20] Nitrogen_life would expect so, at least for php [06:20] i did, marvin__ [06:20] and didn't solved [06:20] haha man I just joined #ubuntu on Rizon and there's like 6 people there. I was all ". . ." [06:20] hexoroid: tar xvf [06:20] novato_br ok, then tell me what you see [06:20] So this could be entirely the wrong place to ask: But what the hell is the difference between build-common and build-essential? I've been googling and nothing reasonable is turning up - it just ends with me wading through spam sent through the 'build-common-hacker's mailing list' or reading updates to package repositories for obscure distributions [06:20] Nitrogen_life nope that doesnt work to unpack tar.bz2 its different command [06:20] novato_br what are you trying to do, listen to music? [06:20] Nitrogen_life sorry, php5-imagick [06:21] yeah, marvin__ [06:21] hexoroid: oops, I mean tar jxvf [06:21] marvin__, look at: http://images.cjb.net/7ebda.png [06:21] novato_br, then it has to do with your audio plugin (gstream or xine) [06:21] marvin__, it's mixer's setting [06:21] hexoroid actually tar is pretty smart in hardy, tar xf will determine the compression type for you [06:21] hexoroid: forgot the `j` :) [06:21] are you using headphones? [06:21] i'm on audacious [06:21] yeah, marvin__ [06:22] my soundcard integrated has 8 channels [06:22] did you notice your alsamixer setting for headphoens [06:22] firefox wont list stuff on my ftp, but a filezilla client will [06:22] ~.~ [06:22] it's not enabled. [06:22] speaking of Audio, and not to but in, I get the erroe in Kopete when im configuring my sound "Could not gain access for writing to /dev/audio"........ideas? [06:22] Usually if it's not enabled, it'll give you low audio [06:22] but, marvin__ i've turn on it [06:22] but didn't work [06:23] gnome also mixer [06:23] alsa* [06:23] try installing that. [06:23] ok [06:23] novato_br It's not turned on at all [06:23] gnome alsa mixer may help with that [06:23] DVD-playback question... I am running hardy hedron, on a lenovo T60. DVD playback used to work fine -- I think until I installed Compiz, but I am not what really caused things to stop working well. Now DVD playback doesn't really work. DVDs are recognized, but playback is extremely slow and choppy, and it seems that the system cannot keep up with the playback rate. Any ideas? [06:23] HELLO,. WHAT DO I USE IN BASH TO ITERATE THE OUTPUT OF THE PREVIOUSLY PIPED PROGRAM AND RUN A COMMAND LINE BY LINE ON IT [06:23] to keep from spamming up the chat with my repeat question(long) -- could someone fairly adept at using "make"//compiling flag me down :) [06:23] I've turned it NOW, but didn't work [06:23] !caps | noohgodno [06:23] noohgodno: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [06:23] mr_e_uss what's yoru video card [06:23] noohgodno: dmesg? [06:24] dmesg?? [06:24] ubunubi: everything working great!! but how can i turn mozilla firefox on?? [06:24] Firefox is currently in offline mode and can't browse the Web. [06:24] mr_e_uss, do u have the settings messenger isntalled for compiz? [06:24] marvin: I think it is an ATI card. how can I check? [06:24] nickrud: gah :( , no luck, even after restarting apache2 it still tells me I don't have an ImageAPI toolkit available [06:24] Yazan`: do you have firefox installed? [06:24] pvl1: how can I check? [06:24] Yazan`: and is this a fresh install of hardy? [06:24] ubunubi: sure...it comes with hardy [06:24] ubunubi: Yes CD [06:24] i need to say [06:24] mr_e_uss hmmm... you an't really check unless you have your video driver installed [06:24] Nitrogen_life wierd. I don't have a drupal install available to experiment with right now ... [06:24] find all the files that fit this naming pattern [06:24] Ok [06:24] Yazan`: there should be a firefox icon under Applications>Internet>FireFox [06:24] and then move them into x folder [06:25] mr_e_uss, system-settings-advanced... [06:25] mr_e_uss If it is ati, then the driver is probably not installed, the reason why it is lagging is b/c of it [06:25] mr_e_uss, something like that [06:25] Nitrogen_life just a couple live ones I can't mess with like this :) [06:25] so mv (?) folder [06:25] ubunubi: yes.... [06:25] s | grep travel.*_log..* | mv $1 travelsection.com_old/ [06:25] nickrud: hehe , I'll ask in #drupal-support [06:25] mr_e_uss I'm guessing it's using vesa [06:25] where $1 is... [06:25] there's an "l" at the beginning of that [06:25] marvin: oh -- fglrx [06:25] fglrx... [06:25] ubunubi: can you talk about it more?? [06:26] is it the one installed in the ubunt synaptic? [06:26] ls | grep travel.*_log..* | mv ????? travelsection_old/ [06:26] Yazan`: did you find it under Applications>Internet? [06:26] what's the ???? [06:26] marvin -- I think so -- let me check... [06:26] If it is the one provided by synaptic, that is bad. [06:26] that is the nonprop driver [06:26] ubunubi: have to reboot first [06:26] fucking ubuntu users [06:26] you'll have to install the prop driver from the ati website [06:26] install arch or slack [06:27] marvin: what is "prop" driver? [06:27] anyone have experience with LIRC? mode2 outputs pulses, but irw does nothing; pretty sure I have the right remote lircd config in there [06:27] http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html [06:27] proprietary [06:27] Any experienced LaTeX users?? (I know it sounds funny) [06:27] the driver supported by ATI, which enables 3d acceleration [06:28] marvin__, it doesn't working [06:28] wait does it show under headphones [06:28] is the mute on? [06:28] or is it greyed out? [06:28] i didn't understand on windows it works normal [06:28] marvin: I think 3d accel. is already working -- that's what compiz uses, correct? [06:28] mr_e_uss: depends, i don't have 3d accel. on this laptop and compiz works... [06:29] marvin: oh! [06:29] mr_e_uss: it may be another case, so you say the video is choppy, corect? [06:29] does anybody know anything about ISO files? i'd like to write some bootable code onto a cd, but i don't know how to putit into an iso file that the cd burners like. [06:29] marvin: yes -- choppy -- but, really much worse than choppy [06:29] mr_e_uss: to me, the most obvious thing would be the 3d acceleration. What happens when you turn compiz off? [06:29] is it still choppy? [06:30] novata_br: is it greyed out? [06:30] Oh man, who's getting ready for Halloween! [06:30] YEAH [06:30] does anybody know how to turn on file sharing to share between two ubuntu comptuers? [06:30] CoolFox: right click the folder? [06:30] marvin: I tried metacity --replace, and then using the dvd -- still no good. I then tried vesa instead of fglrx and still not good [06:30] Kohlrak, serriously? [06:30] how to make audaucious play by OSS ? [06:30] hey can i get some help with formatting an micro sd card [06:30] Kohlrak: use mkisofs [06:30] * CoolFox goes and tries it out. [06:30] mr_e_uss: then it's not 3d acceleration [06:30] i didn't remeber what is line command for that [06:31] L_inf: yes, what's up? [06:31] Is Apache still the best HTTP server for linux? [06:31] CoolFox: i've always been able to just right lcick and go to share folder [06:31] remember* [06:31] thanks, i'll try that jonrd [06:31] mr_e_uss: it's only on dvds correct? [06:31] um... uh... [06:31] i don't see that. [06:31] shadowx, best http server ever overall [06:31] mr_e_uss: my guess is that you are using xine as the video output plugin [06:31] hm [06:31] well i Just installed it, and the executable is missing [06:31] shadowx, look into lampp (google it) [06:31] oh, wait. [06:31] woops [06:31] I know about LAMPP [06:32] mr_e_uss: you'll need to configure xine to work with the correct settings. [06:32] mybad i thought it was right clikc. Sorry, sharing in properties. [06:32] Kohlrak, hey, thanks. [06:32] tritium: do you use pgf? [06:32] marvin: well, I am not sure how to answer that. I have noticed that some video can be streamed perfectly to my system (hulu.com, veoh.com, etc. -- but some video such as .wmv doesn't play well [06:32] need to install the windows sharing system though. blargh. [06:32] mr_e_uss: after you do that it should work, but, another alternative is to use gstreamer as the video plugin. [06:32] ..... [06:32] L_inf: rarely [06:32] mr_e_uss. those websites use flash [06:32] L_inf: mostly only because beamer uses it [06:32] shadowx, idk where the install puts the exe, but lampp lays out everything and explains it, plus it comes wif ftp and stuff/ [06:32] i wish my sys updates would hurry up so i can use my package manager [06:32] marvin: I haven't installed xine [06:32] mr_e_uss. they don't use any of the media player stuff on ubuntu [06:33] ubuntu 8.04 is poor [06:33] mr_e_uss: xine is the problem, [06:33] i'll go back to 7.04 [06:33] mr_e_uss: the most easiest way for you, if you want to just get it to work is first [06:33] marvin: do I need to install xine? [06:33] i can't make anything [06:33] mr_e_uss yes [06:33] novato_br, do u mean compile? [06:33] marvin: from syanptic? [06:33] tritium: have you ever used along with some pstricks package ?? [06:33] no, pvl1 [06:33] L_inf: no, sorry [06:33] jonrd, where is that mkisof? What package? [06:33] mr_e_uss: actually, i think that may fix your problem. b/c without xine or gstreamer, you'll have to end up using some crappy driver [06:34] to install CD 7.04 [06:34] I had LAMPP installed, and I couldn't transfer files to the FTP server [06:34] novato_br: what do you mean "make"? [06:34] mr_e_uss: yes from synaptic, then install a media player like vlc or kaffeine [06:34] it doesn't working anything [06:34] brb shower [06:34] the sound, video card [06:34] etc [06:34] Shadowx yes i had the same problem [06:34] marvin: which xine package from synaptic do I want? [06:34] Did you find a solution? [06:34] shadowx, so i just did a custom install if gproftpd [06:35] Hmm [06:35] Umm [06:35] tritium: this two packages are incompatible (when I load one I can't use the other) any ideas how to work it out?? [06:35] !list [06:35] 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 [06:35] you did a manual install of hte ProFTPd server ? [06:35] shadowx, wasnt easy but i figured it out. also an http server cannot get files, the proftpd (lampp's main ftp server) config is confusing, which is y i got gproftpd [06:35] !list [06:35] shadowx, no i used the one that came with lampp [06:35] L_inf: not without investigating it. It may not be possible. [06:35] neither rythm works [06:36] it doesn't importing song's folder [06:36] wow [06:36] Shadowx but if u use synaptic, itll install everything for u nicelly, in relation to an ftp server [06:36] novato_br, do u have the restricteds? and from what filesystem are you reading the songs [06:36] i am looking for a GUI to setup a firewall, what is recommended ? [06:36] marvin__: which xine package(s) should I install? Searching for "xine" in synaptic returns a lot of packages... [06:36] FAT32 is system files [06:37] neil_d, firestarter [06:37] novato_br, an ipod or a hd? [06:37] and I don't use the restricted drivers [06:37] HD, pvl1 [06:37] HD SATA 2 [06:37] 750GB [06:37] novato_br, not drivers, the package [06:37] !enter [06:37] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [06:37] tritium: how so??? [06:37] i don't know pvl1 [06:37] L_inf: per the incompatibility that you mentioned [06:37] can i get some help with micro sd [06:37] novato_br, to play mp3's and such, u need the ubuntu restricted module [06:38] i know, pvl1 [06:38] In compiz, on the desktop cube, how do you place an image as the top and bottom of the cube? [06:38] i have installed it [06:38] Shujah: firestarter doesn't appear to be in the repositories. [06:38] novato_br, oh, then idk why it wouldnt read it [06:38] the sound is low [06:38] is low level [06:38] bjb - do you have the cubecaps plugin enabled? [06:38] i've moved in setting mixers [06:39] !enter | novato_br [06:39] novato_br: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [06:39] and it didn't work [06:39] ok, tritium [06:39] neil_d, I think it is in Ubuntu official repo, [06:39] psyopper: ill check right now [06:39] thanks [06:39] Shujah: oops found it, [06:39] shadowx, ima make a howto on the forums for a custom gproftpd install [06:39] Kohlrak, hey... um.. [06:40] ubunubi!!!!!!!! [06:40] you're a legend!!! [06:40] Yazan`: yes? [06:40] i love you! [06:40] Yazan`: ahh, thanks [06:40] its saying i don't have permission to make a net usershare [06:40] i love youuuuuu!!!!! [06:40] Yea, coolfox? [06:40] on windows when I put the headset plug it automatically detected. how can I do that on linux ? [06:40] Yazan`: gratz on your working machine :) [06:40] hi [06:40] hoya googleX [06:40] *hiya [06:40] * CoolFox hugs everybody. can we get on withit? [06:41] @psyopper: thanks, just enabled it and got it working. [06:41] mr_e_uss: everything with xine in it [06:41] ;) [06:41] How can I change the default behavior of awn so that it does not show open windows? [06:42] mr_e_uss: especially the ones with the plugins [06:42] marvin__: I just installed the xine_ui package (and all its dependenices) [06:42] mr_e_uss: ok so basically, the problem is with the video drivers, the thing is you don't have any... So to fix it, you are now installing xine, which contains video plugins [06:42] Shujah: i'm not 100% sure that you can. that's one of it's main purposes [06:42] mr_e_uss: ok, what are you using to play dvds [06:43] ubunubi, so I can't use it only as a launcher? [06:43] hey, is there a way to use the duplex feature on a two-sided scanner? [06:43] i'm in a rush ;) need to take a break [06:43] marvin__: I am going to use the xine gui. But first I think I need a decss [06:43] mr_e_uss: get that from medibuntu [06:43] mr_e_uss: there is a page on how to do that [06:43] like, it automagically scans both sides of the document. I got single=sided working, but not double. [06:43] mr_e_uss: it's easier not to use medibuntu [06:44] mr_e_uss: let me find the link [06:44] marvin__: medibuntu is quite easy [06:44] !medibuntu | marvin__ [06:44] marvin__: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [06:44] Shujah: not as far as i'm aware...but i'm not the final answer on that :) [06:44] mr_e_uss: see above URL [06:44] but then, you have a repository with packages you dont' want [06:45] marvin__: download single packages if you don't want access to any others [06:45] ahh I wish rocketdock was portable to Linux [06:45] mr_e_uss: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [06:46] tritium: thanks [06:46] http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy [06:46] marvin__: thanks [06:46] There is a section on the wiki page titled "With individual packages" [06:46] !sound [06:46] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [06:46] mr_e_uss if you want to use that website. medibuntu works too, but I'd rather not use it.

[07:21] How can i get ubuntu to work on my computer? [07:22] ive used it on the PS3 but never knew what it did.

[07:22] Ctrl Alt Backspace didnt do anything.

[07:29] I have Redhat in my laptop, can I install packets of ubuntu ultimate? [07:29] Greetings. Fairly new Ubuntu user here. Just installed Hardy on my eee PC. Firefox version is 3 beta 5. System updater says my system is up to date. Firefox's "check for updates" option is greyed out! (That's what really bugs me.) Ideas? Thank you. [07:30] joshhunt: are you sure you are downloading the intel build? (assuming you aren't using PPC) [07:30] o0 i got hardy too and i got firefox finale o0 [07:30] iTrent: Im not using a mac [07:30] I have a PC [07:30] W86_86: i don't think so...red hat uses .rpm & ubuntu uses .deb [07:31] joshhunt: but you ARE downloading the intel build on ubuntu correct? [07:31] hmm [07:31] *installing [07:31] thanks [07:31] i got a core2duo on my laptop and the 64 bit version dont work you need the 32 [07:31] iTrent: I didnt download it, i got the CD from shipit [07:32] guys i installed NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64 drivers on ubuntu 8.04 now an error springs up when i try and boot, and then goes to distorted graphics. How can i fix this? [07:32] iTrent: 'Ubuntu 8.04 LTS desktop edition' [07:32] lampe: the 64 bit version would work [07:32] i tried to install [07:32] and it dont worked [07:32] joshhunt: ok. nevermind then. I got that when I was using the wrong binary before. [07:32] Pat_Conley: check System -> Administration -> Software Sources [07:33] i got the hardy dvd with 32 and 64 [07:33] guys i installed NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64 drivers on ubuntu 8.04 now an error springs up when i try and boot, and then goes to distorted graphics. How can i fix this? [07:33] Pat_Conley: Or your /etc/apt/sources.list chances are you did not have an internet connection when you installed so the repos are commented out [07:33] and when i put in the 64 he write a error message [07:33] igor_, what error? [07:33] joshhunt: Do you have a 64 bit chip? [07:34] NutmeG: Yups [07:34] does anyone have a monitor running 1280x800? if so is there a way to make usplash do something more appealing then vga=791? [07:34] Pat_Conley: BTW, I think they need to work out a better solution than to just comment out all repos because the user was not connected to the internet when he happened to be installing [07:34] Shujah it times out waiting for x server to start then springs up some error. Is there way i can uninstall this driver and it'll all be good? [07:34] joshhunt: Did you order the 64 bit version of ubuntu? [07:34] Ok I got ETQW installing. It wouldnt install as windows 2000 wasn't supported [07:34] NutmeG: No, i orderd the normal version [07:34] hello, is libflashsupport still required for flash 10? [07:34] hey guys, i just installed the envyNG but when i start the nvidia X server settings, i got error saying You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. how come the driver is missing? [07:35] NutmeG: It worked for me everyother time [07:35] libflashsupport: It never was [07:35] Jordan_U: in flash9 there was an issue with the audio that prompted me to install libflashsupport. [07:35] NutmeG i don't think so [07:35] Jordam_U: I remember arriving at this solution before. Can you please tell me how to access /etc/apt/sources? [07:36] gaile, Probably becaues you *aren't* using the nvidia driver in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [07:36] installing Linux Nvidia drivers caused my Ubuntu 8.04 to not boot properly, how can i uninstall the driver? [07:36] ubuntu, yes, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst search for def option=splash quiet. Add vga=0361 (for 1200x800 @ 24bit) [07:36] Ahadiel, how can i call it from the xorg.conf? [07:36] gaile, perhaps do: sudo nvidia-xconfig to create a new xorg.conf [07:36] hi [07:37] libflashsupport: Sorry, yes, if you want to be able to use flash and use applications that are set to output to pulseaudio you need either libflashsupport or there is a more stable alternative you can grab from intrepid [07:37] Jordan_U: which is flash 10, I guess? [07:37] Ahadiel, command not found [07:37] Could anyone help me with my Archos 605? I have no idea how to connect it to my Ubuntu PC. [07:37] libflashsupport: No, it's an alsa package [07:38] Jordan_U: weird... [07:38] libflashsupport: It will work with flash 9 as well AFIK [07:38] hoho [07:38] joshhunt: When you say "it worked" every other time, do you mean you have installed ubuntu on this same PC, no change in hardware or other OSes, before? [07:38] just set up a new ubuntu 8.04 on slicehost, I logged in as root, added a new user with home dir etc [07:38] cya [07:38] I can login as the new user, but I get a weird shell [07:38] ´ó [07:38] the flash10 update I installed says something like "demote dependencies on libflashsupport" or something like that and is a backport. Whassat mean, Jordan_U ? [07:38] that doesnt autocomplete, or press up [07:38] and tabs actually tab [07:38] gaile, uhhh, try sudo nvidia- and tell me what the options are. [07:38] Ë­ÊÇÖйúÈË [07:39] Pat_Conley: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [07:39] Ahadiel, i dont get the tab? [07:40] gaile, tab is for auto-completion [07:40] It builds and works fine. daniel updated control to Demote versioned dependency for libflashsupport| [07:40] libasound2-plugins to recommends. [07:40] anyone know what that means? [07:40] libflashsupport: There is a difference between flash10 and the intrepid package for flash 10, the intrepid package for flash 10 depends on things which are only available in intrepid ( because that is what it was made for ) but flash 10 itself does not ( though it won't work with pulseaudio without some extra package ) === zoidberg is now known as aminh [07:41] and that extra package is libasound2-plugins? [07:41] Ahadiel, is not working i got blank, or next same like im pressing enter [07:41] no one look at me [07:41] gaile, can you login in low graphics? [07:41] libflashsupport: That is the more stable alternative to libflashplugin [07:41] hold on [07:41] fuck [07:42] libflashsupport: You will need to get it from intrepid as well [07:42] Jordan_U: I see. But there is no need to update libasound2-plugins I suppose? [07:42] odd, see. I suppose "Getting from intrepid" means getting a backport, right? [07:42] how to connect my bluetooth ear piece (not using gnome but xfce) [07:42] libflashsupport: Someone said earlier that there is something important about the intrepid version [07:43] libflashsupport and flash10 were available from the backports, but libasound2-plugins were not updateable(I had it install for a while now) [07:43] could somebody tell me how to discover if my dvico tv tuner card driver is already installed in ubuntu8.04? [07:43] NutmeG: Yes, thats what i mean [07:43] obiter: lspci or dmesg [07:43] obiter: it should be (I have one, and it is auto-detected) [07:44] did you install mythtv? [07:44] Hi, i need help regarding a hard disk access problem. [07:44] obiter: yes [07:44] Jordan_U: are those intrepid versions? If libasound2-plugin is required from the intrepid version how would I go about installing it? [07:44] libflashsupport: get it from packages.ubuntu.com === hacksilber is now known as hack^sleep [07:45] I click 'watch tv' and nothing happens .. I wondered if it was a driver thing. do you know what I should be doing first regarding set etc? [07:45] The hard disk is not accessed automatically when the system is started, When i click on the hard disk then it is accessed by the system, not before that. [07:45] obiter: did you go through the mythtv setup to configure your tuner cards, etc?

[07:47] Shujah, im using 16 bit is that what you mean low graphics? [07:47] Can anyone please help me [07:47] Jordan_U: Figured out the System -> Admin -> Software sources solution.

[07:48] I can get the keyboard ok but the mouse will not focus [07:48] (without libasound2-plugins as well) [07:49] thanks tritium :) [07:49] obiter: sure [07:49] Would anyone have an idea what may be wrong....is it a bug in the software ?

[07:55] one that hopefully, hopefully does animated .gif too [07:56] s3a: Ah yes. There is a diveintopython package that'll download that book for you [07:56] is there any way i can recover [07:56] i have 200+GB software/games [07:56] libflashsupport: the pre-installed should be fine imo [07:56] eth01: Nothing does animated flash for me, sadly. [07:56] and I don't fancy the idea of opening images in internet browsers.... [07:56] libflashsupport: macosx ? [07:56] ? [07:57] yes I thinks, because I can play mp3 files in banshee, but not in amarok. whenever I try to play mp3 in amarok it shows the message that it cannot play them media [07:57] err [07:57] animated .gif, not flash [07:57] * libflashsupport facepalms === theRealBall is now known as deuterium [07:57] eth01: hardy heron here [07:57] nono. i'm suggesting you a better suited alternative.

[07:58] * libflashsupport sighs [07:58] s3a: it's html, if I recall [07:58] libflashsupport: not quite. but ubuntu doesn't by default support it very well. [07:58] from ubuntu not booting due to that error with X server thx to nvidia drivers [07:58] s3a: I'm not sure how it downloads. It might be a bunch of html pages that you browse locally. But yeah, it'll all be on your computer [07:58] which is why i suggested something like macosx, photoshop et cetera might be better ad hoc [07:58] eth01: well, which is why I'm asking for a recommendation, really...

[09:50] quickscript, never tried [09:50] cyzie: did u try 'alsamixer' ? [09:51] tech0007, yes, but what about alsamixer? [09:51] ok. to connect to the internet on the laptop which features the intel wifi, do you use iwl3945 or something else? [09:51] quickscript, iwl [09:51] cyzie: to turn up all the volumes [09:52] tech0007, yes, that is easy i guess. but that is not the solution. [09:52] agent: so what happens when you try printing? === desti_T2 is now known as desti [09:52] cyzie: ok [09:53] iwl3945 is the brand new default driver for the intel chipset but a lot of people are having connectivity issues with this new driver. are you? [09:53] anyone know to turn/tweak the volume up other than mixer? [09:54] quickscript: most of these issues are gone in kernel 2.6.25 (which has a newer version of iwl3945) [09:54] quickscript, you need support with that? [09:54] hey === ShadowXP is now known as Guest25288 [09:55] correct me if i am wrong but there is no official ubuntu kernel 2.6.25 deb package! [09:55] quickscript: i didn't say there is a official 2.6.25 for hardy. i compiled 2.6.25 myself. [09:56] any time I press a key on my keyboard another letter or symbol shows up any ideas on how to fix this??. [09:56] help [09:57] getting the source from kernel.org and then *carefuly* or painfully going thru all the options of make menuconfig ? [09:58] quickscript: compiling my own kernels is something i have done for years [09:59] quickscript: and usually a i keep one kernel config per machine and adapt it to newer kernel versions [10:00] shadow420: you need to look at the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see the keyboard layout that has been setup [10:00] any time I press a key on my keyboard another letter or symbol shows up any ideas on how to fix this? [10:01] ere4si ok [10:01] were do python commands go? in the terminal? [10:01] me too but the average ubuntu user does not compile its own kernel [10:02] s3a: type python in a terminal and you can then run the commands [10:02] quickscript: i know [10:02] can we take kernel chat to offtopic channel? [10:03] are there any alternative packages for apache2 suexec? [10:03] hi [10:03] ere4si: k, thx [10:03] s3a: np :) [10:03] so for the vast majority of people who are having connectivity issues with the iwl3945 driver the problem is still there! [10:03] bazhang: people having problems with iwl3945 and iwl4965 in 2.6.24 is not offtopic [10:04] euz734, and I specifically mentioned kernel compilation, which certainly is ot here. [10:04] hum.. has anyone else had crashes with ff3 and the new flash-plugin? [10:05] happihippo, you cannot (as far as i know), print html files directly with cups (lp, etc.)... also, i want to print to a file, not to a printer [10:05] we are taling about a problem on ubuntu 8.04 related to the iwl3945 driver. that is no off topic [10:06] quickscript: btw, the connectivity problems only happen with certain access points. i also have intel 3945 in my notebook and i had no problems with 2.6.24 [10:08] i had lots of problems with 2.6.24 intel 3945 with lots of access points. i take my laptop with me everywhere [10:08] ere4si: ppl develop python programs using the ubuntu terminal?? [10:08] s3a: you can and some do [10:09] ere4si: is there a more friendly way? [10:09] hi, i have a problem with xserver keyboard after running vmware, is this right place for me ? [10:09] s3a: well, most would use vim in the terminal, or such an application [10:09] happihippo, for example, lpr -Ppdf filename prints to a pdf file, but it prints the html code, not the visual website [10:09] quickscript: still i don't know which solution to suggest to the average ubuntu user. maybe there is 2.6.25 in backports? [10:09] ay^: wats vim? [10:09] !vim [10:09] Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [10:10] s3a: vim is a CLI-texteditor with some advanced features [10:10] s3a: there is an ide for python in the repos - idle I think it is called [10:10] is there a backports kernel 2.6.25 deb package [10:10] ? [10:11] quickscript: i don't know [10:11] s3a: you can also you eclipse with pydev, but I find it a too much of a hastle [10:11] funny, gmail is feeding me ads for minix 3 [10:11] ere4si: sry for not understanding u, this is my first time trying to learn python and im at the very beginning of diveintopython book and its also 5 11 am and im super tired and trying to learn programming lol [10:11] tanenbaum is paying for advertising his OS? [10:11] does anyone here know if there is a backports kernel 2.6.25 deb package? [10:11] flodin, not here please [10:11] ere4si: for the ide part i dint get [10:12] bazhang: alright then, sorry [10:12] ere4si: but how does that make it any different from wat i can do now if its still in terminal? [10:12] s3a: Integrated Developement Environment = ide [10:12] ere4si: but how does that make it any different from wat i can do now if its still in terminal? [10:12] s3a: it is a gui environment for python [10:12] Please.. anybody know to restart the ssh on FreeBSD ? I can't login to my server [10:13] back in 10 min or so [10:13] MrLinux: wrong channel [10:13] MrLinux, you considered asking in freebsd channel?

[10:14] hey,what your [10:14] clouder`grr: as the user that set it up afaik [10:15] ere4si: no, not in cron.daily [10:15] clouder`grr: cron.daily is executed as root [10:15] HELP [10:15] thanks [10:15] hey,capa jah....yang ada di citu...nama kamu capa... [10:16] euz734: thanks for that too :) [10:16] clouder`grr: if you want to run something in cron.daily as a specific user, you have to su to that user in the script [10:16] geya, english please [10:16] ere4si: will using idle interfere in any way with the learning process of the diveintopython book im reading? [10:16] kcman: What's your question? [10:16] hey could someone please tell me how much a standard install of ubuntu takes up?

I added it again, by doing right click : add item : gnome menu, but, it now appears in a fancy way [12:07] hey, im making a windows XP partition (NTFS) and a ubuntu partition (ext3), 50GB each, then im gonna make a shared media drive [12:07] euz734: since he needs to do the make install on his own can. yes I do :) [12:07] tell me how to use defaults.list [12:08] what filesystem would be best so winxp and ubuntu can read it [12:08] how to resume the original display of the gnome menu with the three items : applications, shortcuts, system? [12:08] How do I add more space to my existing ext3 partition? [12:08] ay^: there will be a file at76_usb.ko after make [12:08] Shujah : can i ask this again? [12:08] hi guys whats the best svn client for rapidsvn? im fed up with rapid svn [12:08] Anontom: fat32 is my recommendation [12:08] yep [12:08] Anontom, FAT32 could be a good choice [12:08] hi [12:08] Anontom, however, you wont be able to have files bigger than 4GB i think [12:09] Bollebijn: still there? [12:09] Anontom, FAT32 doesnt accept single files larger than 4GB i beleive [12:09] what should be minimum size of boot partition? [12:10] yes i am [12:10] FAT32 does support files up to 4GB [12:10] Shujah : can i ask it again? [12:10] that's right - it has limits [12:10] NOT larger [12:10] karname, ? [12:10] connect [12:10] ack [12:10] Anontom, do u have ur answer? [12:10] ntfs will do the job [12:10] what should be minimum size of boot partition? [12:10] Shujah : problem with sound card [12:11] or EXT3 [12:11] ay^: i think you don't need to compile. just booted 8.04 in qemu and found out at76_usb is already there. [12:11] Anontom: if you have free hd space after the partition you can resiz it [12:11] rubydiamond, you mean / ?? [12:11] Bollebijn: i think you can just plug the usb wlan stick in [12:11] Rev_, I am going to create a boot partition? [12:11] euz734: hehe okay :) [12:11] karname, sorry dude I googled a bit for your problem but no specific solutions are available online - can't help much here I'm afraid [12:11] nextplace, you can't install winxp on ext3.... [12:11] true [12:11] was just about to post the link to it :) [12:11] rubydiamond, do u intend to install games ? if not, 15GB is ok, for the / partition of ubuntu [12:11] could you tell me what should be the minimum size it needs to be a boot partition? [12:11] Bollebijn: but you cannot configure it with network manager, because of the lack of WPA support [12:12] It's only a media drive, for music and movies etc, so I doubt i will have files larger than 4GB [12:12] fouad, he is going to create a shared partition, not to install winXP on it [12:12] Rev_, for /boot partition size I am talking about? [12:12] rubydiamond: my /boot/ partition currently has 25 MB of archives the partition is 400 MB [12:12] hmm [12:12] mine is 100mb :) [12:12] that doen't matter i guess [12:12] rubydiamond, oh sorry, i thought u were talking about the / [12:12] boot partition for which OS? [12:12] Although its about 200GB, so I might store other files on it [12:12] nevermind [12:12] i did not found in the defaults.list file anything relevant to the shortcuts in my menu [12:12] i don't need WPA [12:12] so if I need >4GB files, what would I do [12:12] Rev_, can I have two / partitions? [12:12] We've got another system without WPa [12:13] Anontom, seriously use FAT32, thats reliable and multi OS [12:13] doryian: right click on the menu and choose edit [12:13] Bollebijn: and what excatly is "another system"? [12:13] long live google [12:13] I may need >4GB files [12:13] <|ns|nR8> ive never had a pron read/writing to ntfs [12:13] <|ns|nR8> prob* [12:13] Anontom, even if NTFS writing is supported under ubuntu now, i wouldnt trust it more than FAT32. and regarding ext3, you will have to install the drivers on windows [12:13] Anontom, we are talking about a single file here [12:13] rubydiamond, / is not a partition, it is a mount point. [12:13] thank you [12:13] please help me : in 8.04 when i play sound file , another program cannot play sound and other device can not use my sound card , i use alsa driver , what i should to do ? [12:13] rubydiamond, no, i think that u can only have one [12:13] Hmm, [12:13] Thanks [12:14] karname: go to the sound settings that you were told before [12:14] God bless ya :) [12:14] jin, , well, its common to speak of / as a partition and not only the mount point as i was doing [12:14] ay^ : what? [12:14] any ideas regarding my messed up gnome menu btw? [12:14] karname: under device tab change all two top choices to PulseAudio Sound Server [12:15] it works only with the Mac adresses in the router, so if the MAC adress of the device is added, you have got acces to the internet [12:15] karname, if you have ff3 open with flash video, close it before using another audio application. [12:15] ok? [12:16] Bollebijn: no encryption at all? [12:16] What's wrong with rhythmbox? It doesn't play any music files, it keeps skipping. Nothing wrong's with the files, and it's pointed to the right folder. I can play each file through terminal.. what gives................... [12:16] Ah, what disklabel would be best for WinXP + Ubuntu [12:16] speedhunt3r, you need codecs [12:16] Rev_, my current / partition has only 400 MB remaining [12:16] nope [12:16] jin, no i don't... it was just fine and one day it decided to skip everysong. [12:16] Bollebijn: that's really weak security. [12:16] and if I keep installing software I will be running out of memory [12:17] jin, if i needed codecs then mplayer wouldn't play it either. [12:17] Bollebijn: but anyway, have you plugged in the wlan stick already? [12:17] speedhunt3r, run rhythmbox in the console and see what error it gives [12:17] ay^ and jin : tanks , i think solved my problem [12:17] karname: np :) [12:17] yes i did, but i didn't saw a announcement or something at al.. [12:17] jin, no errors.. [12:18] So i plugged it out again [12:18] (11:16:16 AM) Anontom: Ah, what disklabel would be best for WinXP + Ubuntu [12:18] Bollebijn: there is no announcement or something [12:18] Bollebijn: plug it in again [12:18] speedhunt3r, do those files exists? in the right directory? can you play them with Movie Player (totem)? [12:18] Anontom, dude any label will do just fine. It's just a label, make sure u label it in such a way that u can identify what's in the partition/disk. [12:18] Bollebijn: still got the terminal open? then type: iwconfig [12:19] jin, yeah man I am playing them right now with mplayer, the work just fine, [12:19] Hello [12:19] is someone is playing counterStrike Source? [12:19] hey [12:19] http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/techspecs <--- RUBY 4.1????? [12:19] ubuntu still needs samba to exchange files with windows ? [12:19] speedhunt3r, check the correct path of the files in the playlist [12:19] done, which info do you need [12:20] jin, all the files are in one folder and that folder has been imported. [12:20] pastebin it Bollebijn [12:20] ubuntu still needs samba to exchange files with windows ?? [12:20] Bollebijn: does it list wireless extensions for one of the interfaces [12:20] ay^: how should he pastebin it without net access? [12:20] speedhunt3r, can you play it with Movie Player? [12:20] penetrarthur, i dont think so [12:21] euz734: erh.. that would actually make for a self-lol :) [12:21] it's on another pc ay^ [12:21] jin, yeah, i'm using the mplayer in terminal... anything in GUI can't play the files.. even the gui version of mplayer can't play. [12:21] let me checl [12:21] jin, don't understand why all of a sudden it can't paly. [12:21] check [12:22] speedhunt3r, define "can't play" [12:22] paly [12:22] lo: no wireless extensions [12:22] speedhunt3r, try log out and log in back [12:22] Bollebijn: i don't need the lines with "no wireless extensions" [12:22] wlan: And than a whole sotry about the plugged in usb device [12:22] jin, I hit play... it quickly starts skipping each file after an attempt to play them.. it makes that little error icon next to each file. I try to go into the errors tab but doesn't say what's up... [12:22] access points and stuff [12:22] Bollebijn: wlan or wlan0? [12:23] speedhunt3r, weird. ;\ try to ask in the forum [12:23] hello [12:23] wlan0 [12:23] Bollebijn: alright [12:23] jin, i tried banshee same problem... [12:24] Bollebijn: now type: sudo -s (and give your user password) [12:24] ok [12:24] speedhunt3r, you cant play media video files or audio files too? [12:24] I hava some problem of ubuntu [12:24] I'm silently cheering you on Bollebijn! [12:24] Bogaurd, just ask ;) [12:24] it says no such directory [12:24] :) [12:25] Bollebijn: you must have mistyped [12:26] ok [12:26] Bollebijn: if you keep making that much errors when typing, linux is not for you [12:26] jin, tried relogging same problem. [12:26] i'll try again [12:26] Whaha.. i did type it just like you said [12:26] speedhunt3r, did you try with vlc? [12:26] Bollebijn: sudo -s [12:26] i typed sudo -s and than my password [12:27] Bollebijn: could it be sudo didn't ask you for a password? [12:27] jin, nope not yet... but i don't understand, it should work in rhythmbox.. i used it since i can remember... all of a sudden it starts doing this. [12:27] what does sudo -s do [12:27] Bollebijn: are you running the live cd or an installed system? [12:27] isor: gives you a shell [12:27] nope [12:27] i'm doing nothing [12:28] Bollebijn: nope what? [12:28] Bollebijn: you have to be more specific [12:28] i'm doing nothing [12:28] nope, i'm doing nothing [12:28] Bollebijn: sorry, if you cannot even tell what you are doing, i cannot help you [12:29] i'm running no programms at the moment!!! [12:30] Bollebijn: a terminal _is_ a program. a shell _is_ a program. [12:30] Bollebijn: if you think only something with a GUI is a program, you are wrong [12:30] karname you there? [12:30] i'm only running a terminal if you say i have to and further nothing! [12:31] Bollebijn: okay, what is the output of: id -u [12:31] what is the diff betwen a terminal and a shell since your in a terminal to sudo? [12:31] moment [12:32] the output i 0 [12:32] is* [12:32] isor: a terminal is something a shell runs in [12:32] isor: a shell is a command line interpreter [12:33] Bollebijn: okay, now: killall NetworkManager [12:33] ok [12:33] jin, vlc can play them... what gives? [12:33] Bollebijn: and: killall NetworkManagerDispatcher [12:33] speedhunt3r, you cant play media video files or audio files too? [12:33] speedhunt3r, codecs problem probably. if you open a mp3 file with Movie Player, it should ask you to install codecs [12:33] hello [12:33] i have a question [12:33] howdy sap [12:34] dan it says: NetworkManager: no process killed [12:34] how do i install kde 3.5 from terminal [12:34] Bollebijn, add sudo to commnad [12:34] Shujah: he is root already [12:34] sap, google install kde ubuntu hardy [12:34] i did [12:34] Shujah: he is running a root shell via sudo -s [12:34] it keeps giving for kde 4.0 [12:35] i want kde 3.5.x [12:35] Bollebijn: now: ifconfig wlan0 up [12:35] sap, google install kde 3.5 ubuntu hardy [12:35] sap, sudo apt-get kde-3.5 [12:35] ok [12:35] warum? [12:35] thanks [12:35] Bollebijn: iwlist wlan0 scan [12:35] sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop sap [12:35] m [12:36] thanks [12:36] ok ,i ve got a lot of info after the last action [12:36] Shujah, the problem is with my audio files, the mp3s... how can codecs disappear? The files were playing fine for the longest time. [12:36] whaqt do you need [12:36] Hi, is there a ntbackup-like utility on ubuntu that can fully backup the system while it is running ? (some clone backup) [12:36] what* [12:36] !clone [12:36] 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 [12:37] Bollebijn: just check if the SSID of your access point is in the output [12:37] speedhunt3r, so totem/ mplayer/ banshee etc can't play mp3 now? [12:37] ok [12:37] a moment pls. [12:37] Bollebijn: the command "iwlist wlan0 scan" is for scanning available wireless networks [12:38] it is [12:38] Shujah, yeah except totem says "audio device is busy, maybe some other app is using it?" can I only test one app at a time? [12:38] at cell 01 [12:38] thx ere4si unfortunately it only backup your installed packages but i need full backup (OS + configuration too) [12:38] Bollebijn: alright: iwconfig wlan0 essid "YOUR ESSID" [12:39] Zikey, there is a iso called clonezilla at distrowatch.com [12:39] Shujah, Movie player keeps saying audio device is busy, which is silly cause nothing else is playing, no movies, no streaming, nothin. [12:39] Zikey: you can use the dd command and cron daily for that [12:39] Bollebijn: assuming the MAC address of your card is allowed on the AP [12:39] speedhunt3r, thats another bug :P leave it at side for the moment. Open Mplayer GUI and go to preferences/setting [12:40] euz734, can you repeat the last command that i should typ? [12:40] ere4si the dd command can run while the system is writing to files without any loss ? [12:40] Bollebijn: alright: iwconfig wlan0 essid "YOUR ESSID" [12:40] what is MY ESSID? [12:40] Zikey: I'm not sure - I'll check [12:40] Bollebijn: the SSID you saw in iwlist output [12:40] SSID of the router Bollebijn [12:40] Shujah, yeah...next? [12:40] Bollebijn: you need to learn some wlan basics, man [12:41] like 10.0.0.9 or something? [12:41] I read about a way to do it, LVM2 do you know if ubutun has it ? [12:41] Bollebijn: no [12:41] Bollebijn: no, thats the adress, it has a "name" [12:41] ok [12:41] Now i got it [12:41] go to audio whats selected alsa or pulseaudio ? [12:41] ESSID is your connection name [12:41] So the command is iwconfig wlan0 essid "BenQ" [12:42] Bollebijn: sounds correct :) [12:42] Bollebijn: only if BenQ is the network name on the AP [12:42] speedhunt3r, go to audio whats selected alsa or pulseaudio ? [12:42] Shujah, alsa. [12:43] Bollebijn: when you did the iwlist scan-thing it says ESSID:"something here" on the second row, thats your ESSID [12:43] After my computer has been on for a while new apps fail to start. Most stall halfway through loading the UI. Already running apps are stable. I can't switch to hard terminals. Loads of free RAM. Swap is set up. SMART status on all HDs is fine. Only a full reboot fixes it. The time varies (this time was ~18 hours). Any ideas? [12:43] faulty ram? [12:43] run memtest [12:43] Zikey: don't use dd if the system is running - sorry 'bout that [12:43] tore_: at me? [12:43] Oli``: yes [12:43] np :) [12:44] Hey there. How does Ubuntu deal with .xinitrc like setups? I am trying to run openbox as per my old Slack setup, but it does not start conky etc. [12:44] speedhunt3r, ok use this command in terminal > alsa mixer Shujah, yeah... but the command needs some parameters. === tshine_afk is now known as tshine [12:45] i'm connecting [12:45] speedhunt3r, there is no space between em that is alsamixer [12:46] tore_: I'd expect a memory error to hit a lot sooner (but I'll run a test when I reset anyway). It doesn't usually strike until 16-48 hours. Another odd thing is that terminal apps (in a terminal I loaded before it started playing up) load fine. [12:46] Resnick: seen this - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Openbox [12:46] Shujah, oh..okay i've got some volume controller come up [12:46] Oli``: I had a similar problem on my fileserver, it was faulty ram there [12:46] ere4si: Nope. Thanks for that :) [12:47] i've got internet [12:47] Thank guys [12:47] Oli``: and on a windows xp system, where the problem sounds similar, it was the cpu [12:47] You were great [12:47] Bollebijn: cool [12:47] speedhunt3r, PCM is utilized to full! [12:47] I'm sooooooooooooooo happy! [12:47] Bollebijn: sweet! [12:47] It's perfect [12:47] In Leaving [12:47] Bollebijn: btw, doesn't the gui-thing for all this work just fine for you? [12:47] Hello! [12:47] Shujah, yeah it is. [12:47] what do you mean ay^ [12:48] Shujah, i don't get it...if it works with mplayer why wouldn't it work with gmplayer? [12:48] ay^: AFAIK network manager only works with WPA capable cards, even if not using WPA [12:48] Hi ppl [12:48] speedhunt3r, totem uses pulseaudio by default and stops other apps from accessing the sound, so thats one part of the problem you might be facing. [12:48] my ubuntu / drive has only 500MB space remaining .. [12:48] ay^: because it uses wpa_supplicant to configure the card [12:48] how do I add more space to it [12:48] Shujah, how about rhythmbox? cause I don't use totem... [12:48] speedhunt3r, I assume you have all the restricted formats required to play mp3s? [12:48] euz734: ah.. how uncool Bollebijn never mind then :) [12:48] I have another ext3 partition of 20GB [12:49] Shujah, yeap.. [12:49] tore_: is memtest installed on the grub menu? do you know if it can be? I don't have a boot CD anywhere I can find [12:49] rubydiamond: tried sudo apt-get clean ? [12:49] Shujah, cause vlc is playing the songs rite now. [12:49] Oli``: I think so [12:49] ay^: old atmel cards are not very well supported. maybe it is even a hardware limitation that they cannot do WPA [12:49] ere4si, what is that [12:49] gg [12:49] speedhunt3r, vlc plays files without any codecs, you need codecs for the rest of apps. [12:50] Hi all. How can i set the scrollback lines (or what to call it) in the shell? Some commands gives so much output i cant read it all, because i can't scroll up so much [12:50] My hardy install doesn't let me connect to my windows 2003 server share. 'Just says failed to mount...' Doesn't even ask me for a password. looks like it's timing out. [12:50] Shujah, even when i scroll over the files to preview the song, that stopped working as well... [12:50] any ideas why? [12:50] rubydiamond: it removes the debs that are from installed progs [12:50] speedhunt3r, go to menu > system > preferences> sounds [12:50] euz734: I see [12:50] rubydiamond: they sit there taking up space [12:51] ay^: and now he is gone. i doubt he can remember the commands next time... [12:51] Shujah, yeah i'm there. [12:51] Anyone? [12:51] speedhunt3r, now its trial and error (that is if the codecs are there), first go to sounds and see if esd is turned on. [12:51] can someone tell me how to fix "Can't open /scripts/functions" followed by a kernel panic, at boot? Happened after a recent update/dist-upgrade on a new install. [12:51] euz734: hehe well perhaps some of it stuck, so next time he only needs help with 70% :]] [12:51] Shujah, it is... [12:51] Does uTorrent work good with wine or should I stick to Transmission. I just miss the possibility to add categories and sort my torrents :/ [12:52] Shujah, when i log in and out, the system sound works. [12:52] VelcroMan: edit - preferences should have an option for that [12:52] ay^: at least now i know that at76_usb driver is included with hardy [12:52] speedhunt3r, ok turn it off and try to run a mp3 - [12:52] xintron: it works. [12:52] xintron: try azureus bro.. [12:52] morning everyone [12:52] euz734: and I learned that network manager doesn't play ball with cars not supporting WPA [12:52] Shujah, same problem, no sounds. [12:52] UbuntuNooB: Nah didn't like it [12:52] Shujah, I mean no playback. [12:53] xintron: hoki [12:53] ere4si, Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on [12:53] /dev/sda2 15G 14G 681M 96% / [12:53] speedhunt3r, have you tried changing devices from sounds [12:53] Shujah, I have, from Alsa to OSS...both work fine..except the mp3s don't play. [12:53] Its less.. how do I increase it.. is there any way to merge it my other ext3 partition [12:53] ay^: to be more specific: network manager doesn't play with cards/drivers that cannot be configured by wpa_supplicant [12:53] rubydiamond: is that ubuntus' / partition? [12:54] eracc, yes [12:54] ere4si, yes [12:54] speedhunt3r u may need the Gstreamers [12:54] speedhunt3r, ok from synaptic check and install gstreamer plugins bad, ugly, good [12:54] euz734: yeha that makes sense.. === xxxxxx is now known as Guest97301 [12:55] speedhunt3r: try install ubuntu-restricted-extras [12:55] ay^: before kernel 2.6.24 that was a big issue, because most wlan drivers were not able to interact with wpa_supplicant [12:55] yo Shujah you still up [12:55] Someone that can hhelp me with this? [12:55] Shujah, i just found out in system>pref>sounds that devices was all autodetect and the test returned an error...but when I selected all to be ALSA then the test works now. [12:55] is there a way to send someone an opera session? I don't know how/where sessions are stored [12:55] :D [12:55] rubydiamond: browse to /var/cache/apt/archives and see how much you could free with sudo apt-cache clean [12:55] Hiya Gigadelic_IIDX [12:55] ay^: namely the old ralink and realtek drivers [12:55] VelcroMan: bro just get stratght to the point. tell us ur problem :) === tedjo007 is now known as vany [12:56] euz734: yeah I can see how thats would become annoying. I have an old pcmcia-card that only works with WEP [12:56] ere4si, -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 2008-07-12 17:22 lock [12:56] drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-07-12 14:23 partial [12:56] hi [12:56] speedhunt3r, that was what I was telling you pulseaudio is a bit buggy [12:56] <__mork> Hi. Is there a way to print (via cupsd) an image to the printer using bash? something like eog --printer Myprinter -print filename.png? [12:56] ay^: which chipset?

[12:57] eracc, yeah [12:57] Shujah, all of them are already installed, even gstreamer for pulseaudio...should i remove that 1?

[13:18] ere4si, on that note, if u want to change a "gutsy" to hardy in sources.list, all u have to do is replace it? [13:19] hello, i uninstalled Pulseaudio, now i am using ALSA dmix plugin with OSS support, and everything works fine, any application, except audacity, there is set OSS as def. device and says "cannot open device" when i try to record or play something [13:19] when i switch to ALSA, i get some error issues in the terminal [13:19] only the JACK server works [13:19] guys: wanna backup trumbu here [13:19] hes having a trouble with his wireless device [13:20] but it is not "mixing", other apps then cannot use soundcard [13:20] Any reason why Wireshark wouldn't be able to recognize my network interface? It worked fine in Windows XP... [13:20] trumbun, what's the problem with ur wireless? [13:20] ere4si so in this edit process do i set it to do feisty or something else [13:20] I Dont.not I havent tried it out [13:20] kcman: you have this issue because you missed some of the upgrades - I would do a new install with hardy - if you make a /home partition your configuration for various apps will be retained [13:21] kcman: if you have edgy set the sources list to edgy [13:21] speedhunt3r: it's not how I would try it [13:21] wols_s: " generic.all_generic_ide=1" solved the problem with installing ubuntu [13:22] how can i upgrade to the server version of Ubuntu [13:22] ere4si i am not going to losing anything i just installed this with my live disk that i found in my bag from iraq all i need to know is the best and quickest way to get update [13:22] Currently my home is at /home on the "Filesystem" drive. I have an empty EXT3 partition that I want to move my home to... Is that possible? Can I just copy my home and paste it in the new partition or do I have to do something else? [13:23] ere4si right now my sources.list is set to feisty so the next is gutsy right? [13:23] anyone know how i can check what Nvidia driver is being used [13:23] thanks to all who helped me with me installing Ubuntu problem! :-) [13:23] I am going to re install it it is much quicker [13:23] kcman: only if the os is feisty [13:23] Shoopuf you can do that but u need to automount it on startup using fstab and then go to users and point to the updated home directory. I think there's more to it but not sure. [13:24] ere4si so how do i tell? [13:24] kcman: you have to upgrade the whole os one os at a time [13:24] ere4si do you have a link to the one i should be on? [13:24] can you upgrade from desktop version of Ubuntu [13:25] kcman: what is the output of uname -r from terminal [13:25] to the server version [13:25] Ich: np! [13:25] Shoopuf, try this link http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/How_To_Backup_Operating_Systems#How_To_Backup_The_.2Fhome_Folder [13:25] anyone know how i can check what Nvidia driver is being used [13:25] ere4si 2.6.20.17 generic [13:26] u talking to me kcman? [13:26] madmn, the server version doesn't have gui [13:26] madmn: the server version is not the desktop version with additional packages. the server version has no GUI and therefore _fewer_ packages. [13:26] Shoopuf, more importantly, scroll down to How to restore the home backup... same url. [13:26] bye [13:26] right now ere4si [13:27] okay nevermind i don't want to lose the GUI [13:27] madmn: then you don't want the server version [13:27] okay [13:27] isor: found the solution: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/220246 [13:27] can i do DNS in desktop version [13:27] Launchpad bug 220246 in linux "kernel panic - not syncing: attempted to kill init!" [Undecided,Fix released] [13:27] madmn: of course you can install additional services on the desktop version [13:28] kcman: looks like feisty there - you should get an option to upgrade the os if you type in a terminal sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade in a terminal with the sources set to feisty [13:28] that fixed the panic and the splash screen that was out of date [13:28] madmn: why do you want to run a DNS server? [13:28] to learn how to [13:28] (except for us it was the -19- kernel) [13:28] hello all [13:29] i am going to learn how to run a shell company [13:29] i need the experience [13:29] ere4si alright here goes i am trying that command now [13:29] k [13:29] vanessa, musta not got updated correctly i have had not probs from any updates or upgrades [13:29] madmn: what is "a shell company"? [13:30] so i want to learn how to install like cpanel [13:30] and that kinda stuff [13:30] madmn: what is cpanel? [13:30] a shell company provides hosting service [13:30] ere4si looks like it went through so what do i do now? [13:30] I need an Immidiate help [13:31] cpanel is a admin for shell providers === jesse is now known as The_Ubuntu_Grabe [13:31] never heard of Cpanel? === The_Ubuntu_Grabe is now known as The_Ubuntu_lover [13:31] madmn: i only use ssh for remote administration [13:31] kcman: when it is done there should be a yellow icon on the top panel that will show if a new os is an option [13:31] oh okay [13:32] well cpanel is for access through www [13:32] Is it possible for a user run script to add a message to dmesg ? [13:32] madmn: someone who only knows to do admin works though GUIs shouldn't host anything [13:32] ere4si nope there is no icon at the top looks like i am going to have to download and install from a different version [13:33] What is the command line to unmount a partition? It won't let me unmount it cause I'm not root. (it is a drive I added to fstab) [13:33] ere4si also for your note looks like not all of the update came down from that command [13:33] Shaba1, sudo umount /dev/yourdrive [13:33] kcman: upgrading through two os's would be twice the d/load and alot longer than a new iso from ubuntu.com [13:33] true but thats the way they do it these days [13:33] or Shaba1, sudo umount _your_mount_point_ [13:34] kcman: your sources.list might not be complete - hard to see from here :) [13:34] madmn: well, i disagree with "them" [13:34] Shoopuf, type sudo -i it will ask for pw then unmount drive [13:34] Is this safe in my fstab? "/dev/sda8 /new ntfs-3g defaults 0 0" ...I wasn't sure what to do for "0" and "0" [13:34] so in other words you don't know how to help me then [13:35] Aww heck, just realized I can't move my /home to the new partition because it's NTFS!!! >_< [13:35] hehe [13:36] ere4si ok so now all i have to do is d/load the new iso from ubuntu i saw a text based option on this site http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download is that text base option going to make things hard that is my last question i hope [13:36] Shoopuf, if its blank format it to ext3 [13:36] what's the best place to mount a hard disk to... /mnt/name? [13:37] isor: Well I was actually hoping to share this /home directory between Windows and Ubuntu... But I assume /home should only be mounted to EXT3? [13:37] kcman: that would be the alternate cd - I find it fairly straightforward - just read things twice and you'll be alright [13:37] ere4si thanks man and sorry for making your night hell [13:37] Shoopuf: you can name it what ever and mount it where ever , just symlink it to your desktop [13:38] kcman: wouldn't be here if I thought this stuff was hell :) [13:38] Shoopuf, windows won't see or even show you a ext3 partition [13:38] folks, in xnvidia-settings i can apply a resolution of 1280x1024 and it works, however if i save it to my xorg.conf and i reboot, than it doesnt exactly work, after i save and reboot it looks as if emerald doesnt want to load my theme (no title bar menu bar either) also icons from desktop dont load up. any suggestions [13:38] Thanks everyone. [13:39] ere4si i guess i have one last question for you then, is this a save to file type d/load or open with file roller? [13:39] kcman: it will d/load to an iso - then you burn the iso to a cd [13:40] ere4si ok got it [13:40] !iso [13:40] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.

However, is your partition big enough to support ubuntu install [14:06] 1 sec [14:06] 60gb partition should be enough for ubuntu [14:06] noobuntu: plenty [14:06] noobuntu: it only actually needs about 4 [14:06] noobuntu: overkill [14:06] you know what i will just restart my comp a nd try [14:07] then first thing update my whole comp [14:07] and then install [14:07] !ntfs-3g | Aadith [14:07] Aadith: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions.

[14:07] thank you everyone [14:08] hope u all of you have a better day than me [14:08] yep [14:08] Seiryuu, ???? [14:08] Aranel: easy way is to remove /var/cache/apt/archives/kdebase-runtime-data_4%3a4.0.83-0ubuntu1~hardy1~ppa5_all.deb then re-update [14:08] what's that package I need to install in amd64 hardy to get libdvdcss running?

I gave you the way to list loaded drivers (modulkes) but I don't know what you want exactely [14:10] Hi everyone. [14:10] hello [14:10] Hi i have a problem with ubuntu. When i try installing ubuntu [14:10] well i want to downgrade my nvidia drivers in hopes to kill my lockup issues [14:10] I have a question. I am spanking new on this thing and I was wondering. If I have Ubuntu installed, what versions of software and drivers am I supposed to use? [14:11] its loading and screen giving a "out of sync" error [14:11] anyone has a trouble free wireless connection? [14:11] mib_ot1tne, ask the question with details if you want an answer [14:11] I could use a little help. I am running hardy and my samba shares are very inconsistant. I have one bookmarked and that is never a problem, but If I go to network and windows Network they do not always so up? Can some help me with this. It is very frustrating. [14:11] emil: the drivers will be handled by ubuntu mostly, so you don't need to worry about versions [14:11] the power flash off and bombed my pc, and it looks like I have lost all my playlists in rythmbox! is there anyway of retrieving them? [14:11] Seiryuu, what is your issue exactely? [14:11] system lockups [14:11] sorry i am using a friends com, and sometimes i pushing enter before finish my word [14:12] i dont really have to do anything it just locked up [14:12] Seiryuu: when the system locks up can you press the numlock key please and see if the light goes on and off [14:12] *computer [14:12] no [14:12] I keep losing my wireless connection [14:12] it wont work [14:12] don't know if it's from the driver [14:12] Seiryuu: ok, so thats very likley not down to the nvidia drivers [14:12] Seiryuu, it lockup when X server is loaded? [14:12] or the router [14:13] well its just random [14:13] hi i'm trying to install ubuntu, but the installer always fails halfway and says that there was an I/O error.. what shoud i do? [14:13] Seiryuu: have you ran a memcheck on your PC ? lockups are normally (note normally) hardware related [14:13] ubuntu: run a disk check ? [14:13] Xpistos: that kinda stuff is tricky since WINS and those other MS protocols used for this are fscked up. do you know the DNS name of the windows machine you want to access or the iP? [14:13] ubuntu: as in check the CD fr errors [14:13] Seiryuu, random? have you checked if all your fans works correctely and all eatsinks are clean? [14:13] ikonia, i did that, no errors [14:13] ubuntu: run a smartmontools long check [14:13] well u use to run Sabayon and i had no lock ups [14:14] the memtest is fine [14:14] wols_, ok i'll try that package thanks [14:14] If I have Ubuntu installed, what versions of software and drivers am I supposed to use? [14:14] ubuntu: smartctl. is on the livecd [14:14] emil: version and drivers for WHAT? [14:14] wols_The computer I am trying to connect to are called Athena and Zeus on the Olympus network [14:14] hi..when i maximise some window in ubuntu it becomes much larger than the real estate available on screen...what should i do so that the maximised screen stys within the size of my screen? [14:14] also yes my fans are working [14:14] ikonia, it may come from overclock too... For example, if I overclock my 2.4Ghs CPU over 3.6Ghz, it will lockup on CPU consuming programs. [14:14] emil: I explained this to you a minute ago, did you not see my response [14:15] Is there any command to set install start at 1024*768@60hz ? Becouse when i try instal ubuntu, its starts normal (under dos, 640x480 etc.) then when loading ends i getting "out of sync" error from monitor. [14:15] WalloO: yes, so "hardware" as I've said [14:15] Xpistos: \\Athena in your favourite file browser. usually works [14:15] i cleaned my heatsinks 2 days ago [14:15] Wols: Everything. Let's say I have a bunch of Windows software like Cubase, Acid, Photoshop. === ubuntu is now known as alhaddi [14:15] ikonia, yes, that's pretty sure... :) [14:15] wols_: File browser as in Nautilus? [14:15] emil: you're not using windows, it works differently. Let ubuntu manage the versions [14:15] emil: try to keep away from windows software under linux. use linux software instead if at all possible [14:15] Xpistos: yes [14:16] emil: you can run them under wine. or at least try tho. no guarantees [14:16] !wine | emil [14:16] emil: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [14:16] Seiryuu, I have a nvidia 8800gt and a 7600GT and it works very well. You probably have an issue somewhere with your hardware [14:16] WalloO: nvidia drivers have always be known to cause issues for certain people [14:16] wols_: So all these windows based software would be useless then, unless I rty using wine.? [14:16] so it could very well be nvidia's fault [14:16] im using the same setup when i had Sabayon installed [14:17] everything was fine [14:17] Wols_: I know for configuration, but never heard about it for random chrashing [14:17] my v-card is a 6200 [14:17] emil: yes. can your run Apple software for MacOSX on windows? can you run Amiga software on windows? [14:17] wait let me see [14:17] Seiyuu: what dod you think of Sabayon? [14:17] wols_: that did not work [14:17] did [14:17] Seiryuu, and when you don'T use nvidia driver, do you have the same issue? [14:17] emil: Ubuntu is a a NEW OS. iz REPLACES WIndows [14:17] its good [14:17] wols_: I have never used anything else than Windows, no need to be rude. [14:17] wols_:Should I try the ip instead? [14:17] wow i forgot what card is in my system [14:17] Is there any command to set install start at 1024*768@60hz ? Becouse when i try instal ubuntu, its starts normal (under dos, 640x480 etc.) then when loading ends i getting "out of sync" error from monitor. (I'm using HD4850) [14:18] Seiryuu: in what way? [14:18] emil: if you think I am rude, then we better stop talking ask for help someone else. good day [14:18] i checked cd integrity. it sais errors found in 1 file. what should I do now? [14:18] how do i not use the nvidia drivers? [14:18] wols_, it says "Warning: device does not support Self-Test functions.", and then it says the test has begun.. not sure what that means [14:18] mlhshino: use the alternative CD [14:18] hi [14:18] alhaddi: what command line? [14:18] emil: don't worry, the differences can be a little daunting, just try not to think of ubuntu working in the same way as Windows [14:18] mib_ot1tne: use the alternative install CD (text based) [14:18] wols_, smartctl --test=long /dev/sdb [14:18] wols_:Or is there a file I can edit like the windows hosts file [14:18] alhaddi: looks good. what hdd is it? [14:18] hmm [14:18] seagate barracuda [14:18] everything was stable i mainly use this as a server/ music player [14:18] ATA [14:19] Xpistos: what for? does ping Athena resolve? [14:19] oh WalloO how do i not use the drivers? [14:19] alhaddi: seagates can do selftest. all of them. I have two myself. USB disk? [14:19] hi [14:19] wols_, nope sorry, it's a samsung [14:19] Seiryuu: uninstall the nvidia drivers [14:19] alhaddi: unless it's a vrey very old one: same applies [14:19] command line? [14:19] maybe 3 years old [14:19] wols_:Unknown host [14:19] why is firefox 3 in kubuntu such a mess. crashes on startup, some websites won't work, about: shows firefox 1.9, info windows shows 3, 1000s of smal annoying thins. cehckboxes won't update on first clicks etc. under debian firefox3 hasn't as much issues, same for win32. === fReAkY[t] is now known as freaky[t] [14:20] Xpistos: fix your dns then. what is the IP? [14:20] hi ppl [14:20] Xpistos: of athena that is [14:20] Seiryuu, just go in menu->Administration->Hardware drivers, and un check your nvidia driver to have the green linght in the table red. [14:20] wols_, do i need to "smartctl --smart=on" first to enable it? [14:20] local 192.168.1.100 [14:20] Seiryuu: no more compiz or any 3D accel then however [14:20] what is the best text processor with an automatic language text corrector for ubunto ? [14:20] alhaddi: no [14:20] wols_ i am very new on ubuntu and i dont know ubuntu much yet. How can i install ubuntu under text based ? [14:20] its cool [14:21] Xpistos: then edit your /etc/hosts [14:21] i have the abiword but i don´t see any automatic text corrector [14:21] Xpistos: same file as windows in that regard [14:21] wols_: I will try that [14:21] reboot correct? [14:21] Xpistos: then try \\Athena again [14:21] Seiryuu: no [14:21] !reboot [14:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about reboot [14:21] mib_ot1tne: If you download the "alternate" version of the CD, it has a text-based installer [14:21] Seiryuu: unless you change hardware or kernels: never reaboot [14:22] its telling me a reboot is needed [14:22] brb [14:22] ere4si you still here brother? [14:22] it is wrong [14:22] restart X, that's all [14:22] /?

[15:02] ok [15:02] Since they both use KDE 3, I think so. [15:02] Hi there [15:02] hey. [15:03] CaptainFrea, thought so, it looks like ubuntu & kubuntu no longer have an older 6.x version, is this going to happen with xubuntu soon as well? [15:03] does anyone know how I can change the color of the filenames on the desktop? [15:03] Most likely. [15:03] Not sure, tho. [15:03] soy nuevo en ubuntu, como instalo vlc en ubuntu??

[15:07] hey [15:07] hello. I have ubuntu 8.04 (hardy) and I compiled audacious 1.5.1. My problem is that I can't open files anymore by double clicking on them. I need to open them by audacious itself. I looked in konqueror file association and everything seems ok... command is: "audacious %U" [15:07] scoubidou4, why compile? it is in the repos [15:08] version 1.5.1? [15:08] I've seen only 1.5.0 [15:08] scoubidou4, any reason you need the very newest? [15:08] which is really confusing because it should be loading at 1024x768_75 instead of 1024x768_70, (not native mhz, stretches out the desktop to not fit the screen) [15:08] uh...i am booting off of a new kernel to enable SMP and it has not been stable at all..any ideas [15:08] well, old versions are buggy (cannot control sound for some reason) [15:09] Hi all [15:09] I need help please [15:09] but I made adacious 1.5.1 works perfectly this is not the problem...... it's all about file association [15:09] I am running win/ubuntu deual and I have formated my win partition [15:10] !ask | WarMaster [15:10] WarMaster: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[15:12] so noboay knows why audacious 1.5.1 file association doesn't work with KDE? [15:12] WarMaster: can you paste your /etc/X11/xorg file pls? [15:12] !grab | WarMaster [15:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about grab [15:12] I cant start windows when I select it from the boot menu [15:13] WarMaster, have you seen this? [15:13] what ?

[15:17] My gamepad is located at /dev/input/js0, but joy2key looks in /dev/js0 [15:17] WarMaster, just read the link i gave you [15:17] if it doesnt work, use that last command i gave you to get back [15:17] alhaddi, 1 minute is slow... [15:17] where [15:17] WalloO, oh ok [15:17] I have a seperate partition for my /home directory. I had to reinstall the OS. How do I get the OS to use the existing users found on my /home?

[15:43] ethereality: thats nothing [15:43] CaptainFrea ;) [15:43] funny thing is, the screen is only white, but compiz still works ;d [15:43] ikonia, i don't know. okay then. >_> i wonder why they're outputted, then. [15:43] ethereality: don't worry about that [15:43] so i got a a funny white cube [15:43] ethereality: let me know how "touch" goes [15:43] i have the latest hardy heron with all the recent patches [15:44] screw hardy that thing was buggy as hell for me [15:44] Hardy must have xbox 360 controller support [15:44] i installed it on my usb and it works cool the thing is it's a live session user does it matter ? can i still install/uninstall things as usual ?

[15:45] ethereality: great, so ls -la test1 [15:45] 'k [15:45] spiongraz, white screen happens after you login? [15:45] "-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2008-07-12 10:44 test1 [15:45] " [15:45] ikonia: but it does ask my for username and password therefore i don't know if i have all the privillages and so on.. [15:45] how do i encrypt the /tmp partition without screwing up the permissions? [15:45] idd right after login db92 [15:45] so it appears to be able to write perfectly fine, right? [15:46] sorry it doesn't. [15:46] ethereality: now chown danial test1 [15:46] CaptainFrea, i just reinstalled ubuntu the other day, before to get my controller to work, i had to install all those drivers and modprobe the kernel. Now my controller just works with the new hardy version. and no annoying blinking light. [15:46] ethereality: sudo first [15:46] spiongraz, you upgraded your kernel recently? [15:46] i see the background picture and the upper bar for a second [15:46] and then white [15:46] d0t: it asks for your password to authenticate you [15:46] CaptainFrea, so all those drivers you installed were obsolete [15:46] i installed all the lates recommended updates yesterday [15:46] latest* [15:46] do you have -proposed repositories enabled? [15:46] CaptainFrea, install jscalibrator and see if it recognizes your controller [15:47] /msg ubottu etiquette [15:47] i have no clue really [15:47] and if so, what gfx card you got? [15:47] hello [15:47] ikonia, done. i right click -> properties -> permissions to check the file in nautilus, and it still lists "root" as owner. [15:47] i got a radeon hd2400 [15:47] well if you dont know, you most probly dont [15:47] mm, radeons, i was certain [15:47] using the fglrx driver [15:47] i'm checking now to see if i own any of the files in my own /home directory [15:47] ethereality: can you check it with ls -la please. [15:47] i am a new user [15:47] spiongraz, through envyng? [15:47] as the installer? [15:47] caN SOME ONE TO HELP ME [15:47] ethereality: I assume your still in the directory [15:47] (yes, i do) [15:47] i am a newer [15:47] and yes, i am. [15:47] lacatus: please ask you question and don't use caps [15:47] ikonia, oh, right [15:47] ethereality: ok, just checking [15:47] OK [15:47] i just used the ubuntu tool [15:48] "want to activate restricted driver?" -> yes [15:48] Breaking News!!!!!! 360 controllers work with ubuntu now :) [15:48] i need a codec to play movie [15:48] ikonia, correct: "-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2008-07-12 10:44 test1" nothing has changed. [15:48] lol [15:48] mac os [15:48] spiongraz, mm idno [15:48] the "sudo chown daniel [file]" command does not appear to function. [15:48] spiongraz, the same thing happened to me after updating kernel and booting [15:48] kevin0: KDE has been seeing my gamepad all along. [15:48] i use ubuntu [15:48] ethereality: thats most interesting, you have write permissions - you can touch the file, and it creates, however you can't change the ownership. [15:48] i thought that [15:48] kevin0: it's only joy2key [15:48] i could maybe uninstall fglrx via the recovery console [15:49] ethereality: could you show me "ls -lai" in a pastebin of that directory please. [15:49] CaptainFrea, og [15:49] ikonia, do you think upgrading to 8.04 may fix it? i'm still using 7.04. [15:49] oh* [15:49] but somehow al my uninstalls dont do anything there [15:49] LOL [15:49] sudo chown username:usergroup [file] [15:49] ethereality: initial I thought the escape chars was causing issues [15:49] spiongraz, no reason, check if your fglrx drivers are 8-4 or 8-6, i cant remember how atm <> [15:49] ikonia, i don't know what you mean by "the escape chars" [15:49] spiongraz, should be visible in catalyst control center [15:49] ethereality: I wouldn't upgrade for this - this looks reasonbly serious [15:49] point is [15:49] ethereality: spaces basiclly [15:49] i cant get into catalyst control center ;d [15:49] im on windows right now [15:49] has anyone successfully encrypted their /tmp partition without the "permission denied" hassle? [15:49] (that's what i thought -- thanks) one moment .... [15:49] Hi, is it possible to unlock IPOD nano in ubuntu ? Somebody set a password code in my device [15:50] hmmmmmmmmmmm [15:50] i would just reinstall ubuntu tbh, cause its a fresh install anyway, but i downloaded loads of stuff already [15:50] lgolebio: speak to whoever set the password [15:50] so i would love to fix this :/ [15:50] spiongraz, if you change session to failsafe gnome then login, it will boot [15:50] ikonia, could it be because the pages directory is owned by root? and it's changing the .... i don't know, i'll just do that ls -lai command [15:50] anobody ? [15:50] spiongraz, normally as if nothing happened [15:50] oh [15:50] spiongraz, ELSE [15:50] oh yeah ill try that [15:50] spiongraz, try going through recovery [15:51] ikonia: i tried to install bitchx (apt-get install bitchx) and reply i received was "13 permission denied.." "..are you root? " [15:51] btw [15:51] i need a codec to play movie [15:51] spiongraz, and use the xfix option [15:51] ethereality: now, your in the directorys so the parent directory permissions shouldn't matter [15:51] been there done that [15:51] alright well i have to roll if anyone has any ideas please pm thanks guys [15:51] did nothing [15:51] how do i get that [15:51] d0t: sudo apt-get install bitchx [15:51] and gals LOL [15:51] btw before the white screen thingy happened [15:51] spiongraz, kay then, just launch failsafe gnome [15:51] lacatus, install ubuntu-restricted-extras [15:51] d0t: be aware that I don't think bitchx s in ubuntu 8.04 [15:51] spiongraz, and try installing fglrx again [15:51] my login screen suddenly was lik e640x480 [15:51] spiongraz, sounds like a driver screwup, although i wouldnt be the one to actually know [15:52] WarMaster, have you reinstalled grub? [15:52] ikonia: i checked bitchx's site and that what is written there... but it's fine i'm happy with xchat :) [15:52] ok anyway, ill try the failsafe now, thx for now, maybe ill come back ;) [15:52] ikonia, http://paste.ubuntu.com/26905/ [15:52] bye bye! [15:52] thx! [15:52] yes [15:52] using my ubuntu live cd [15:52] WarMaster, how [15:52] ikonia: what irc client do you recommend me to use ? [15:52] d0t: your call, irssi ? [15:53] ethereality: ok, one thing to note, if your in the dir you just need to do ls -la . [15:53] ethereality: you don't need to speciy the full path [15:53] oh, 'k, thx [15:53] brb [15:53] irssi ? never heard of it.. i'll google it.. [15:53] ethereality: can we try something - it may seem a little pointless [15:53] bazhang / how yo instal [15:53] Are there any special repository packages that would improve my framerate playing games in Ubuntu? I noticed my framerate is significantly less than XP so far... === Zyna is now known as OrangeButt [15:53] hi all [15:53] Shoopuf: no [15:53] WarMaster, so what error do you get booting windows [15:54] When I try and sudo aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade I get this error, "E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)" Why? [15:54] i set a krb session on my kubuntu (KDE 3.5.9) [15:54] and would like to connect from a Mac [15:54] lacatus, from synaptic or the terminal [15:54] CaptainFrea, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=476308 [15:54] its dont give an error icqnumber its just start loading grub in stage2 insted of stage1 [15:54] and windows dont start [15:54] it works but no ways to get a window, any idea please ? [15:55] Devourer, you have another package manager running [15:55] CaptainFrea, im going to try xjoypad [15:55] darthanubis, but I don't see another one running... Where can I find this mysterious package manager? [15:55] kevin0: I'm going to try button's commands. [15:55] Devourer, htop, top, ps aux, gnome system monitor etc.. [15:56] darthanubis, what are those? [15:56] quit [15:57] WarMaster, during grub reinstalling have you ran this command "find /boot/grub/stage1"? [15:57] yes [15:57] Hello, could somebody lend me a hand in triaging bug #242196, I'm suspecting erroneous drivers, comments? [15:57] Launchpad bug 242196 in ubuntu-meta "Ubuntu will not recognize Cell Phone storage devices to copy files" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/242196 [15:57] it gave me (hd0,1) [15:57] Devourer, I led you to the water, I'm not going to drink it for you. [15:57] but setup hd0 did not work [15:57] darthanubis, none of those seem to be running. [15:58] why does banshee 1.0 make the selected song white and can't see any of its info [15:58] hey, does anyone know how to install new desktop-themes? im new to linux, sry [15:58] CaptainFrea, good luck :) [15:58] normally you can just drag the theme to the appearance-window [15:59] Mokoll: Open the "Appearance" tab in your System/Preferences menu. Then take the .tar.gz theme and "drag n drop" it into the Appearance window. [15:59] kevin0: It calibrated. [15:59] ikonia, sure [15:59] darthanubis, all I have is Pidgin, Xchat, and FireFox open... [15:59] Devourer, how old are you? [16:00] darthanubis, why do you need to know? [16:00] Please tell how to make Ubuntu save settings of keyboard layout. When I reboot, all setts are lost. [16:01] darthanubis, ??? [16:01] anyone know of a good program to intelligently sort music, change file names, id3 tags, grab album art, sort the music into directories, etc [16:01] ? [16:01] Devourer, so I can better tailor my future responses if I respond at all. You don't seem to be able to understand the answer I gave you to your question of "How do I determine if another pkg manager is running?" I gave you 3-4 apps that would determine that for you? You did not try a one. [16:01] icqnumber, grub> setup hd0 [16:01] Error 11: Unrecognized device string [16:02] darthanubis, Ooooo... You see, maybe because you didn't explain what they did. [16:02] Devourer, thats for your lazy self to find out [16:02] Devourer, hes not obliged... [16:02] >_> [16:02] where in the world is carmen ikonia >_> [16:02] !root [16:02] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [16:02] db92, thx you [16:02] * ethereality misses his soulmate [16:03] Devourer, he was even "kind" enough to be arsed to actually try to help :P [16:03] lol @ ubottu [16:03] is there any way to make ubuntu mount all drives automatically that are plugged in? [16:03] db92, I guess I can misguide people in this channel as well. That is my new life's goal. [16:03] CaptainFrea, great :) [16:03] ikonia: i run sudo apt-get install irssi.. everything went well.. but how do i execute the program?! where is it? :) [16:04] It's strange, it does it with USB Drives, but it requires me to mount all the stuff thats physically plugged into the computer, makes no sense lol [16:04] Devourer, its another thing to misguide another to actually guide someone to some point where they want it all laid on their hands [16:04] org [16:04] darthanubis, but I do appreciate you trying to deal with a 12 year old. [16:04] kevin0: But it still pops the same error. [16:04] * ethereality agrees with CShadowRun [16:05] If anything it'd make more sense if it was the other way around (Then it'd be a security feature) But this way around is just plain...weird :S [16:05] hmm, im not really sure then. you could try man joy2hey and see if theres anything there that will help, but i doubt it like buttons said its not very well documented [16:05] CaptainFrea, ^^ [16:05] joy2key* [16:06] Devourer, what are you trying to do? [16:06] please help.. i used sudo apt-get install irssi it installed successfully but where did it install it ? and how do i execute the program ? [16:06] I'm having a problem, I can't find a package manager that is running, I've already checked top and Gnome System Monitor, how can I find it? [16:06] * ethereality mourns his long lost ikonia [16:06] d0t: open a terminal and type irssi [16:07] kevin0: So what now? [16:07] Devourer, do you know the name of the package manager? [16:07] majortool, probably not. [16:07] thanks ken. [16:07] Devourer, ps aux|less [16:07] can you find it in that list? [16:07] umm, my xchat toolbar is gone [16:08] i realized this just now when i tried to go up to go to settings -> prefs and open my log of this chat [16:08] majortool, that's a long list. Heh. What name should I be looking for, package manager? [16:09] how do i get back my menu bar in xchat? >_> [16:09] majortool, what about update-notifier? [16:09] ethereality: Control-F9 [16:09] hi there, i just installed windows after ubuntu, and in addition to having overwritten grub, windows also seems to have erased the partition table [16:09] on gparted, i only see the windows partition (im on live cd right now) [16:09] Shoopuf, it's just f9, apparently. thanks so much! <3 [16:09] i was all "omgwtfnooo" [16:09] the rest of the space is "unnallocated" [16:09] Devourer, i don't think so ... it'll likely be prefaced by /usr/sbin [16:10] +i [16:10] Devourer, type "//usr/sbin" [16:10] any idea how i can restore the partition table? [16:10] hey, can anyone tell me how to install compiz, or how to get a beryl-theme running? [16:10] !compiz | Mokoll [16:10] Mokoll: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [16:10] Devourer, it's likely called synaptc [16:10] CaptainFrea, when all else fails try rejoystick [16:11] anyone know of a good program to intelligently sort music, change file names, id3 tags, grab album art, sort the music into directories, etc? [16:11] does ubuntu support multiple screens? [16:11] Xerxes, yes [16:12] CaptainFrea, http://downloads.sourceforge.net/rejoystick/rejoystick_0.8-1_i386.deb?modtime=1206546993&big_mirror=0 [16:12] !dualhead | Xerxes [16:12] Xerxes: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [16:12] majortool, I don't think I see a synaptic, at least anything starting with /usr/sbin/ didn't have anything with synaptic in it. [16:12] hi there, i just installed windows after ubuntu, and in addition to having overwritten grub, windows also seems to have erased the partition table... how can i recover it? [16:12] Xerxes: if you graphic card does so, yes [16:12] Xerxes-> multiple screen is done by X servers.. [16:12] I want to multiple screen too, 1 workspace by screen, is it possible ? [16:12] could somebody try to identify a terminal application off of screenshot for me? [16:13] If I try to use the PulseAudio Sound Server it says "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect: Connection refused" [16:13] Xerxes, you have to have the driver for the card. this will likely be a proprietary driver and may come with a configuration utility to help [16:13] Soul_Sample, hit me [16:13] People, please tell, how to make "Behold TV 505FM" TV-tuner work? [16:13] majortool: http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/4471/terminalshv7.png i'm interested in the system monitor (dl, ul, cpu and the rest) on the right [16:13] im trying out sakai which has tomcat server integrated on it, are the scripts supposed to be u+x ? it seems like all the scripts in bin/ like for example the startup.sh or setclasspath.sh are just perms 644 [16:14] Lavir: what chipset is it? [16:14] majortool, without explaining why... If I were to have 12-16 screens, would it be prudent to hire someone to program the required drivers? [16:14] Devourer, can you paste bin that? === Harde is now known as Finnish [16:14] IndyGunFreak: Erm... Don't remember... And what common actions are? [16:14] Lavir: erm, then how do you expect to get help>? [16:14] Soul_Sample, top [16:14] Xerxes, ha ha ha ... no ... [16:15] Soul_Sample, oops conky [16:15] majortool, I can't select it all. :\ [16:15] I watch the market and would like to switch from windows to ubuntu mostly for security reasons. [16:15] majortool: can you help me? [16:15] bazhang: well, i have conky but it has it's own gui representation, is there a way to run it in a terminal? [16:16] Does anyone know if it's possible to have multiple screens, with 1 workspace/screen ? [16:16] Xerxes: I just joined here, but I wonder why your here [16:16] Devourer, ps aux > ~/Desktop/pastebin.txt [16:16] i bound a to one of my buttons in rejoystick. [16:16] pcaldeira, sup? [16:16] I'm hoping to learn if ubuntu can do the same thing I am currently doing with windows. [16:16] but it won't seem to work. [16:16] Xerxes: which is? [16:17] Soul_Sample, what about dstat === yacc_ is now known as yacc [16:17] majortool: hi there, i just installed windows after ubuntu, and in addition to having overwritten grub, windows also seems to have erased the partition table... how can i recover it? [16:17] I run 12 screens currently with windows. [16:17] as in monitors? [16:17] yes [16:17] why 12? [16:17] in gparted i only see the windows partition now... the rest of the space is "unnallocated" [16:17] bazhang: well, i'm looking at the screenshot again now... maybe that on the right IS conky, but set up to look like that. the guy told he had 5 terminals onscreen and i was sure that this was a terminal as well. maybe it isn't [16:17] 12 screens for one install of Windows seems crazy to me [16:18] Soul_Sample, i think that's an app provided by whatever desktop this user is using [16:18] I could use another 4 screens but I'm waiting until the next gen of monitors come out in 3-4 years. [16:18] When you watch the world markets, the more the better. [16:18] so you use some special hardware so you can do 12 screens? [16:18] lol [16:18] It's specialized, yes, the video cards are matrox and have two dvis that each split into two [16:19] the more screens the better when watching the markets why? screens aren't that expensive [16:19] My Mb has 4 x16 video slots, 3 of which I use. [16:19] Ubuntu isk nown for good hardware suppourt yes [16:19] ,but for what your doing I woudn't be to sure it would work [16:19] Soul_Sample, you can get superkaramba (kde) screenlets (with gnome) or gdesklets (gnome) the one on the right is conky [16:19] majortool: do you know how to do it? recover the partition table? [16:19] majortool, nevermind. I got it pasted. http://pastebin.com/d65c1997c [16:19] pcaldeira, it's likely going to say that because whatever partition utility you're using doesn't like linux ... you need a boot disk [16:19] hi [16:19] however you can find out by botting a computer from a Live CD [16:20] bazhang: okay, thanks. i'll look more into modifying of conky. i guess it can more than i saw on the first try [16:20] majortool: the partition utility is gparted which im running from ubuntu live cd right now [16:20] (also known as partition editor) [16:20] Soul_Sample, just modify the conf file for conky [16:20] hy [16:20] someone here [16:20] ??? [16:20] Xerxes: did you read my three messages above, I didn't put your name before them so [16:21] !ask | Jack [16:21] Jack: 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. :-) [16:21] kk [16:21] seb: I don't suppose you know how long it would take to custom program it? [16:21] Did someone know something about Nubuntu [16:21] pcaldeira, you may be toast dude ... i would try launching a linux boot disk(the gentoo disk is small and exaclty what you need ... ask others if they would recommend something else) ... and just see if you can mount the partition [16:21] ? [16:21] I mean, there's gotta be some savvy entreprenurs around these parts. [16:21] Jack, that is not supported here [16:21] Xerxes: you can try with a Live CD to see if it works or not yes [16:22] Xerxes: and if not as a tempory souloution I have a few ideas [16:22] majortool: i can't mount the partition from ubuntu live cd :\ i guess i won't be able to do it with gentoo either [16:22] Xerxes: if you want Linux [16:22] I know, but in the Nubuntu channel is nobody [16:22] i'll look for a recovery cd [16:22] to try and recover the table === karolis is now known as karolis_ [16:22] Jack, get the real deal at www.ubuntu.com and then we can talk [16:22] Hi! I have now fighted one hour googling and trying to get 8.04.1 to find my wlan, but seems that ubuntu does not allow connection to open network. (do not ask why it is open because there is no threat about security). [16:22] Xerxes: so it is just one computer connected to 12 screens? [16:22] Yep [16:22] yeah. [16:23] Xerxes: and if Ubuntu does not have drivers for hardware, it is very difficult to make them if the company behind them have not made the specs public [16:23] It's been suggested to me to use that computer as a backdrop, or what I look at constnatly and dont' change, and have a faster computer for gaming that would be 2 8800fx cards. [16:23] Xerxes, it may work depending on if there are drivers for those cards. [16:23] Seb, Ahh. That is discouraging. :/ [16:24] yep it should work if there are drivers for the hardware [16:24] and to find that out [16:24] boot the computer from a Herdy Heron Live CD [16:24] Xerxes, this is an active support channel; do you have a problematic ubuntu install or just wish to chat [16:24] Hmm, do you think contacting the manufactor could tell me whether they support unix systems? [16:24] Why ubuntu does not support open WiFi networks but demands somekind security until it can connect? [16:24] Hi, i have a problem with aticonfig and dual head setup. When running aticonfig to rewrite my xorg.conf file, everything works great. Except one thing. New windows are opened on top of my gnome menu. [16:24] Devourer, i don't see anything in here dealing with a package manager ... everything you've started since 9:30 seems to be regular apps [16:24] bazhang, I'm being actively supported, thank you. [16:24] Xerxes, SebNaitsabes please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [16:25] Devourer, it may be saying a package manager is running because a pid file wasn't properly deleted [16:25] yeah Xerxes let's go over there [16:25] since people in here get all well [16:25] when things go off topic [16:25] I'm looking for a program that has similar functionality to Mathematica, but obviously, for ubuntu. I don't really know where to start looking. Any suggestions? [16:25] how can i use compiz with fluxbox or xfce?

[16:27] Lavir, which chipset [16:27] Devourer: process ID [16:27] im having an issue with my ftp server. im using gproftpd and everything is configured properly. however when i try to access the server from a different computer all i get is an empty tree. the folder being shared is actually full of files [16:27] Oh. [16:27] bazhang: SAA7134HL [16:27] bazhang: SAA7134HL, yes. [16:28] majortool, would you like me to send the errors for when I try and update with aptitude? [16:28] i've got nc6000 hp laptop and not sure how to detect if bluetooth device is working? [16:28] Lavir, have you checked the hardware compatibility list? [16:28] i get No bluetooth interface found [16:28] Why ubuntu does not support open WLAN connections anymore but demands WPA/WPA2 etc? [16:28] Fri13, it does [16:28] ethereality: hi, sorry I had to pop away for a few minutes [16:29] Fri13, is the essid hidden? [16:29] yaaaaaay you're back ikonia i'm so happy. [16:29] Shishire: mathomatic is in synaptic [16:29] Devourer, please [16:29] Perfect, found Maxima. TYVM [16:29] ethereality: apologies, where are you up to [16:29] uhhh [16:29] Devourer, you can pm me [16:29] bazhang: No it does not give "open" as option. SSID is shown and all other machines can connect with Windows or other Linux distribution used. [16:29] the trying something pointless bit, ikonia [16:29] ethereality: what I'd like to do is unmount your ntfs partition if possible please. [16:29] O_O [16:30] but but but ..... that smells of death and destruction [16:30] Fri13, where is this? in the cli or gui [16:30] no no [16:30] majortool, and I did use sudo when executing this command. http://pastebin.com/d6be67e3e [16:30] Is there no pentest package for ubuntu like Backtracks pentest? [16:30] bazhang: GUI of course... I'm not yet planned to do it by CLI... it should work by GUI. [16:30] Jack: nmap does some [16:30] jack what is that [16:30] What Backtrack or pentest? [16:31] Devourer, ls /var/lib/dpkg [16:31] Jack: penetration testing [16:31] Devourer, pm me that [16:31] ikonia, would that be "sudo umount /media/sda1"? [16:31] nmap is one of over 100 testing tools [16:31] ethereality: thats right yes [16:31] Jack: I'll get you a link - ubuntugeek site has a list so you make make your own ubuntu pentest toolset [16:31] (it's my windows partition, by the way) [16:31] ethereality: make sure you have no-one in that directory [16:31] Fri13, it does work; what is the nic on that and what have you tried, errors, etc. [16:31] ethereality: ok, thats fine [16:31] thx [16:31] ikonia, what after i unmount it? and what do you mean, make sure no one's in it? you mean accessing it? [16:31] bazhang: no, but as I remember, it is not compatible. [16:31] ethereality: before you did cd /media/sda1 - your "in it" === OrangeButt is now known as Zyna [16:32] ethereality: or nautilus having it open [16:32] bazhang: nic? No erroes, it just does not give option to choose "open", only a WPA/WPA2 etc as security, so it cant connect [16:32] Jack, http://tinyurl.com/667zxb [16:32] corq-FL i need becaus I know Ubuntu well, and Backtack also but I want Ubuntu and not Backtrack [16:32] Fri13, which gui is this you speak of [16:32] corq-FL THX [16:32] Same here; some of the tools are beyond my skillset yet, but here you can pick and choose [16:33] ikonia, done.... now what? [16:33] Devourer, nm ... try sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock [16:33] ethereality: ok, now how did you mount it before ? [16:33] bazhang: The default one, system > administration > network or the icon in systray [16:33] I'm working on setting up a ubuntu "honeypot" today, just for giggles [16:33] ikonia, i did what people here told me to do to install ntfs-3g [16:33] ethereality: yes, but how did you then mount it once it was installed ? [16:33] ikonia, it involved gedit and some file i think [16:33] hi all, i need your help. i hava a raid1 system with mdadm. now i had a disk failure, and had to exchange a disk. now i'm in a rescue system (its a dedicated server). how to mirror all the partitions of the working drive on the new (clean) drive? [16:33] Fri13, network manager? [16:33] majortool, what is that going to do??? O.o [16:34] ikonia, i don't understand what you're asking me. [16:34] bazhang: "Networking" so it might be that then. [16:34] hello all.. i am running conky with the python weather script and was wondering if anyone could help me set the temperature to display in fahrenheit instead of celsius? [16:34] ethereality: what command did you use to mount the disk ? [16:34] ikonia, i really don't know how to mount things. [16:34] sounds good [16:34] Fri13, this is a bug you believe then? [16:34] ethereality: ok so "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 [16:34] majortool, I did it. [16:34] removes the lock file ... the lock file is just empty. apt-get is just checking that the file exists ... if a program had it locked before, and died, it may not have deleted the lock file [16:35] Devourer, try your apt-get [16:35] anyone able to help setting up mythtv? [16:35] ikonia, done. [16:35] ethereality: no warnings ? [16:35] no. [16:35] majortool, I get the same error. [16:35] ethereality: ok, thats good, thats what I wanted to check [16:35] obiter, the front end, back end or which; please clarify [16:35] ethereality: so now try your tests in /mnt/sda [16:35] Devourer, are you sudo apt-get ...? [16:36] ikonia, you mean /mnt/sda1 ? [16:36] Devourer, or # apt-get? [16:36] I don't know bazhang ... the front end runs though. I press 'watch tv' and nothing happens [16:36] majortool, well, I did sudo aptitude but then I tried sudo apt-get and I still got an error. [16:36] ethereality: sory yes [16:36] majortool, I'm not root. I'm sudo. [16:36] there is a dvico card installed [16:36] ikonia, "bash: cd: /mnt/sda1: No such file or directory" [16:37] bazhang: No, it's not compatible. Does it mean that it can not work with it? [16:37] obiter, when you say runs, could you clarify what you mean by that? your tv card is working etc? [16:37] ethereality: /media/sda1 sorry [16:37] ikonia, -- yeah, about to ask that. [16:37] Devourer, try going to a persistent root login "sudo -i" then "apt-get ..." [16:38] bazhang the tv card works in windows, I don't know how to varify if its working in ubuntu [16:38] majortool, alright, but I heard that being root isn't really ever necessary. Hehe. [16:38] ikonia, i cd to directory, do the touch test1 thing, do ls -la, and it seems i can write to it and that everything is owned by root. [16:38] hi all, I'm getting all kinds of 404s and repository not founds while trying to upgrade 6.10 -> 7.x What's the recommended way around this? I'm running Edgy but want to upgrade and it seems to want access to the edgy repositories... [16:38] ethereality: try chowning it [16:38] Lavir, not much experience with that card; the ones I know a bit about are hauppage [16:39] tk2 upgrade to 8.04 [16:39] tk2 type in terminal sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [16:39] Devourer, this case may be an exception and although there is no necessity to shell root, it's convenient so don't let retarded monkeys tell you not to [16:39] Jack: happy to do that do but my impression is you need to do it step by step? [16:39] Fri13, can you open a terminal and connect to that router? [16:40] ikonia, "chown daniel test1" enters but does nothing. should it be "daniel:daniel" or something? [16:40] flooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood xP [16:40] question : how do I prevent 'adept updater' from continuously suggesting to upgrade 1 package I patched and installed manually (vice) which is also available in the ubuntu repositories ? [16:40] wow 1026 users :O [16:40] ethereality: you dont have to use a group, but you can do [16:40] Raoni, please dont [16:40] I do it so, from 6.06 LTS to 8.04 [16:40] Raoni: flodo ? [16:40] flood [16:40] bazhang: Nope, ubuntu does not allow anykind connections [16:40] Everything is stable no problems with nothing [16:40] Isn't 8.04 rather buggy? 7.10 is better supposedly. [16:40] Hi, i have a problem with aticonfig and dual head setup. When running aticonfig to rewrite my xorg.conf file, everything works great. Except one thing. New windows/applications are opened without a "border", so i cant move them around. And they are opened over my gnome menu. [16:40] Fri13, what command did you enter in the terminal? [16:40] tk2 [16:40] I can find on others machines that WLAN is working (sniffering packets) but it does not know any networks if they are open. [16:41] majortool, haha ok. It worked fine now. No errors... [16:41] majortool, odd. [16:41] bazhang: sorry I just was thinking that it could be a really mess here with 1206 users wow [16:41] tk2 on the official site of ubuntu, there are the upgrade solutions [16:41] Jack: I guess 6..06 is LTS - 6.10 doesn't seem to be as even running dist-upgrade I've got 404s from security.ubuntu.com and archive. [16:41] Raoni, if you wish to chat #ubuntu-offtopic is good for that [16:41] ikonia, neither chown, sudo chown, daniel, or daniel:daniel does anything. [16:41] bazhang: ^^ kk [16:41] ethereality: thats exceptionally odd [16:42] i can pastebin to prove it >_> [16:42] (or more strongly state it.) [16:42] Devourer, thank you for proving the point that SUDO SUCKS .. apt-get was forking another process to the user running sudo not the user running apt-get ... ghey [16:42] Fri13, I am assuming this is your own network you are connecting to? [16:42] ethereality: I don't doubt [16:42] bazhang: I'm writing a article about Ubuntu's development. THis just is very wierd thing because GUI does not offer than WEP and WPA secured networks [16:42] majortool, hahaha. It works for he most part I guess. [16:42] bazhang: Yes, one of few. All others finds out but not unsecure [16:42] Fri13, that is simply not correct. [16:42] I've been running into an interesting problem with ubuntu lately [16:42] ikonia, should i create thread at ubuntuforums at this point? === grader is now known as four-o-four [16:42] I think it is about time to kick some microsoft ass by making better and more software then them :) [16:43] jay2... done. [16:43] bazhang: I believe something is very terrible wrong if not even GUI offer a "Open" as security option. [16:43] jay2, welcome to yesterday [16:43] ethereality: I'd log a bug, I suspect it's because your using an earlier version of the ntfs-3g driver, but I can't be certain [16:43] haha lol [16:43] bazhang the tv card works in windows, I don't know how to verify if its working in ubuntu [16:43] Fri13, please cease. that is simply not true. [16:43] ikonia, don't know how to log a bug other than create a thread and yell HALP >_> [16:43] If I have firefox open and try to watch a video file the video file would have no sound... but if I have a video file open and I open firefox then firefox won't be able to use sound, like if I go to youtube all the videos will be silent [16:43] what could be wrong? [16:43] ethereality: thats a pretty bad way, "yelling help" normally gets you ignored [16:44] ethereality: the best way is to log fact, details and fact [16:44] And when going with iwconfig, ifconfig and dhclient to set network settings, it still does not connect. I check if problem is then on router settings, chaning it to WPA2 mode. [16:44] tk2 go to http://ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading#head-db224ea9add28760e373240f8239afb9b817f197 [16:44] but i don't yell help. i yell HALP. sooooo much difference.

It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [16:44] ethereality: that sort of behaviour will get you little help [16:44] obiter, have you read the ubuntu wiki? or asked in #ubuntu-mythtv yet? [16:44] tk2 there are informations to upgrading [16:44] I still think that there needs to be a lot more done like some of my connections whos got alot of money just to keep that in mind [16:44] ethereality: I'm trying to advise you and guide you and your making petty jokes [16:44] ikonia, i'm joking (sort of) ... i basically describe the problem in as much detail as i can, and log everything i've done and conversations [16:45] Jack: thanks, will take a peek [16:45] yes - no, I'll go there [16:45] poller: what worked for me was running the three commands on this page in order (you need to put sudo in front). you might want to back up your xorg.conf first http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=124634 [16:45] ethereality: visit launchpad.net - open an account and log a bug [16:45] does anyone here uses sshguard? [16:45] doing ...... [16:45] ArrPirate: lot of people report that problem... some say its a problem w/ Flash and pulse-audio. [16:45] bazhang: Actually I try ubuntu to this one laptop (what I used to sniff it networking packgets) if it works with Intel WLAN chip.... thanks for your help. [16:45] k [16:45] IndyGunFreak: Ah. Thanks. [16:46] what the command aptitude means [16:46] ? [16:46] so lets all keep that in mind it would help all of us in the long run [16:46] Jack: it's an interface to the package manager [16:46] :) [16:47] Ah, normaly I install the programmes with apt-get install, and not with aptitude [16:47] and I think the money can go to a good use by helping out the ubuntu group :) [16:47] ;) [16:48] Jack: apptitude and apt-get are nearlly the same thing [16:48] Jack: so you can use the apptitude command or apt-get to install programs === stylus_ is now known as stylus [16:48] ah and whats the little difference [16:48] ? [16:48] Jack: try them, see what you like [16:48] Jack: more hardcore Ubuntu and Debian users tend to like apptitude, and apptitude can do a bit more [16:49] thanks [16:49] but is keep up the good work and microsoft sucks :) [16:49] Jop [16:49] yep MS suck, but most qualifcations around here use MS :( [16:49] :( [16:50] jay2: thats not a great attitude - if you don't like microsoft, thats fine, but the channel doesn't need to hear about it [16:50] jay2, actually it's all me ... i invented linux and i hand coded every line in vi(which i initially coded by using a magnet and hard drive) [16:50] for example to get a Level 3 in ICT I would have to actsually learn Visual Basic it seems :( well that's if I go the college route [16:50] Thats true [16:50] !ot [16:50] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [17:59] Is it possible to enable the mouse in gnome-terminal? [17:59] theRealBall, got a link? [17:59] ikonia: my connection is so bad right now that it only loads these messages every 30 seconds or so, that's why I can't respond [17:59] theRealBall: CDE is anything but good [17:59] guillaume_: your using the apt-get somewhere else [17:59] sorry I know paspin [17:59] please be patient [17:59] gaelfx: no problem we are patient [17:59] <_acid> Thanks [17:59] look to see if your synapix package manager is launched [17:59] gaelfx: what network card do you have, it's wirless I assume [17:59] http://pastebin.com/m7aa9e951 [17:59] theRealBall, or do you mean kde [18:00] wols_: yea but it works [18:00] guillaume_: you already got the answer [18:00] theRealBall: every WM "works". CDE is useless [18:00] gaelfx, instead of putting in the gutsy kernel, I think its safer to put in 2.6.25 or a flavour of 2.6.24 of your own [18:00] no not kde something with a small footprint and not QT or gtk [18:00] somewhere else [18:00] theRealBall: fluxbox. and CDE is NOT small [18:00] wols_: define useless [18:00] theRealBall, then flux openbox [18:00] theRealBall: xfce ? fluxbox ? [18:00] synaptic was open [18:00] i'm looking at fluxbox never even heard of it [18:00] hi guys, Is there an application to make a tracker think that we are uploading more that we are really doing. I am not a leecher the problem is that most of the time my download is at 50KB but the upload is at 4KB [18:01] xfce is gtk too much malloc [18:01] ciao a tutti [18:01] theRealBall: cde as a desktop died a long time ago therefore support for currentl libraries/products will be limited [18:01] and potential to be gnome-ish [18:01] theRealBall: there is opencde as I recall, a legacy port [18:01] !it | pippo: [18:01] pippo:: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [18:01] ok [18:01] how can i upgrde from hoary hedgegog 5.04 ubuntu to 8.04.1 [18:01] theRealBall: except xfce strives for being minimalistic [18:01] ikonia: yes i know but it's matured and support libs to other win managers [18:01] theRealBall: gnome doesn't [18:01] mikael_, fresh install [18:02] pingfloyd: oh ok [18:02] yahoo.com.mx [18:02] mikael_: reinstall. it's easier [18:02] theRealBall: try it then [18:02] !upgrade | mikael_: [18:02] mikael_:: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [18:02] mikael_: and faster [18:02] theRealBall: but still xfce is pretty bloated in comparison to use most WMs [18:02] despite CDE dead sun hasn't dropped it completely [18:02] ok thanks [18:02] theRealBall: but got to kind of expect that [18:02] Is it possible to use the mouse to change cursor position in gnome-terminal? [18:02] i see [18:02] * chalcedony smiles [18:02] theRealBall: personally, I like icewm [18:02] hey, i was just wondering how to change the screen brightness on ubuntu?? [18:03] is there a way to get windows fonts on ubuntu? [18:03] !fonts | chalcedony [18:03] chalcedony: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [18:03] !msttcorefonts [18:03] chalcedony: install the msttcorefonts paackage, to start with [18:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about msttcorefonts [18:03] theRealBall: about just the right balance between functionality and being lightweight for my tastes [18:03] chalcedony: install ubuntu restricted extras [18:03] hmm [18:03] ubuntu-restricted-extras depends on msttcorefonts, and will thus pull that package in [18:04] When I type top into the console , I get that 1.6G mem is used but in the system monitor it only shows me that 500M are used, why is there a difference? [18:04] which lib is icewm based on? [18:04] thank you all :) [18:04] or er use? [18:04] theRealBall: it will work with gtk and qt [18:04] it's standalone? [18:04] td123: "free" [18:04] theRealBall: yeah [18:04] oh [18:04] theRealBall: but it will run gtk and qt based apps just fine [18:04] Hi everyone! [18:05] ok so icewm and fluxbox [18:05] keewee: hello [18:05] the proposed repo for hardy ... is that for future releases or what? [18:05] wols_: no, it says that 1.5G is used [18:05] yea exactly what i'm looking at [18:05] td123: 1.6 is the RAM used by apps along with the cache, system monitor only shows the RAM used by apps [18:05] what package contains fsck.ntfs [18:05] PmDematagoda: oh [18:05] hello all [18:05] td123: do free -m that probably should show it [18:05] can hardy run VitualBox/ [18:05] I am trying to use apport for non Ubuntu package (the project is hosted on Launchpad but not registered on the Ubuntu Distribution) . Is it possible ? [18:05] Xpistos: yes [18:05] Xpistos, yes [18:06] sorry, had to reboot [18:06] PmDematagoda: wow, why is it using so much cache? [18:06] aside from the repo, where can I get it [18:06] theRealBall: the default theme for it in most distros is pretty bad looking, but with some tweaking it's ok [18:06] td123: to make apps start faster I suppose [18:06] rubystallion, don't think so [18:06] Xpistos: virtualbox.org [18:06] PmDematagoda: k, thx [18:07] i see [18:07] I did dpkg -l, I' [18:07] so can anyone help me fix this freezing and bad connection problem? [18:07] czesc, hello all :) [18:07] I've found something http://pastebin.com/m33569ffd vmware [18:07] so what would be the name of the pakage? [18:07] gaelfx_, without much information it is very difficult to help [18:07] I am having a problem when installing Ubuntu on my friend's computer... maybe you can help... It's a Pentium III 1ghz, 256MB, 30GB drive... I boot from CD, then select to install, it seems OK, starts to load (shows logo with the orange bar moving) and after 2 or 3 minutes the hard drive turns off. Same happens when trying to run as LiveCD. Windows installs OK. [18:08] hi [18:08] keewee: Ubuntu may be a bit too much for a PC like that, why not try Xubuntu? [18:08] ok, let's say I'm totally new at this. how do I get you the information you need? [18:08] keewee, try fluxbuntu [18:08] I'm having a problem with amarok which I only get in Ubuntu. It does not seem to let me scan my collection, or I'm not getting any feedback. There's no "status bar" for me to check any apparent scanning progress. How do I get one to show? [18:09] gaelfx_, for example, how do you connect to the net? wired or wireless? also, what make/model is the card? [18:09] ikonia i figured out [18:09] wired, BCM43xx [18:09] I thought that Ubuntu would need less resources... Windows seems to work a bit slowly but OK. [18:09] AnimatedBox, set the directory to build your db from [18:09] ikonia it was syntax error [18:09] woops, hang on [18:09] Hi. I have a rt61 chipset wireless card. Can i use this card as an AP? I tried google but i dont found any result. Do you have any idea? [18:09] hello [18:09] keewee: you fit the "bare minimum" requirements, but not the recommended so power wise it should work. More than likely then I think it is probably something like with the fact that the machine is old so there is some other incompatibility. [18:09] keewee: did you consider Vista? ;) [18:09] I connect through PPPoE [18:09] bazhang: how? [18:10] hello folks [18:10] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [18:10] i searching an ibex photo to my Intrepid Ibex Wallpapper conception. But i don't found any free pictures Can somebody help? [18:10] AnimatedBox, in the configure amarok section [18:10] I'm having problems with thunderbird not allowing links to be used [18:10] ethernet controller is nVidia, MCP51 [18:10] bazhang: ok [18:10] you press on a link and it does nothing [18:10] any ideas? [18:10] ricsi-pontaz, ibex support in #ubuntu+1 [18:10] And what's the difference between Ubuntu and Xubuntu? [18:10] who can i finde ubuntu counter logo to homepage? [18:11] gnome and xfce keewee [18:11] keewee: ubuntu uses the Gnome desktop. Xubuntu uses the XFCE desktop. [18:11] ok thx [18:11] np [18:11] My applications menu editor no longer works. It will open, but I can't edit entries or add new ones. [18:11] who? [18:11] I´m getting a error while installing my soundcard. it says: checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables [18:11] how can I fix this? [18:11] Will my friend, who doesn't know much about computers, be able to use XUbuntu with the same ease as Ubuntu? [18:11] Pepp1: install build-essential [18:12] hello, i have an ATI R9200 and i want to put tow monitors on it, i search for a tool like"nvidia-settings" for ATI [18:12] tritium: you beat me to it [18:12] keewee: it's pretty straightforward [18:12] that will be it? [18:12] keewee, yes [18:12] Sam127: does not exist. [18:12] animeloe: ;) [18:12] !xinerama [18:12] xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [18:12] I can't check the first box in synaptic repos for security updates? [18:12] Any ideas shere I can get the kernal model: Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel, e.g. virtualbox-ose-modules-generic.. [18:12] when I do a dpkg -l I see a big list of installed pakage, ok, now, if I want to remove one, what's the the name of it [18:12] keewee: for the most part, however, I disagree with the rest of the channel that it is entirely a requirements issue. If it were just that the machine is low powered Ubuntu would install, but SLOWLY. If it isn't installing at all, I get the feeling something else is odd. [18:12] example this one: http://pastebin.com/m33569ffd [18:12] Sam127: sse the factoid [18:12] I try to mount my drive by going to Places > NTFS 1 and it says "Cannot mount volume. You are not privileged to mount the volume 'NTFS 1'. [18:12] guillaume_: the name you see [18:13] it's not working [18:13] !doesn't work [18:13] 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. [18:13] dxtd, I think the same... [18:13] keewee: what exactly is the error your getting [18:13] guillaume_: note: vmware-server is not installed [18:13] also what kind of drive is this? [18:13] and associated hardware [18:13] anyone can tell who can i finde ubuntu counter code for homepage? [18:13] I used to have the drive mounted to /home/chris/documents/school/ but then i changed it to /media/shared/ and now since then I get this error [18:13] http://pastebin.com/m2b497f30 [18:13] Shoopuf: what is its fstab entry? [18:14] guillaume_: for the 2nd time: that pacakge is not installed [18:14] what's the problem guillaume_ [18:14] zyx386: what is 'counter code'? [18:14] animeloe: none. Hard drive turns off (makes a loud clack noise and then a "slow down" noise), and after some seconds the Ubuntu bar stops scrolling... [18:14] it looks like you might need glasses [18:14] animeloe: not being able to read the output or irc [18:14] wols_: /dev/sda8 /media/shared ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 [18:14] keewee: think about replacing the hard drive? [18:14] keewee: Hardrives broken. [18:14] zyx386, do a google [18:14] Shoopuf: add "user" as an option [18:14] * animeloe giggles and sticks her tongue out at timsandtoms [18:14] ^_- [18:15] Does anyone know how I can set wine to have CAP_NET_RAW? [18:15] lol :) [18:15] keewee: do a smartmontools long test with smartctl [18:15] Shishire: give it a graduation party? [18:15] Windows works perfectly... Made surface checks connected to a Hackintosh, copied information, etc... Everything works... Ubuntu makes it crash [18:15] wols_ it was installed before hardy, now i try to uninstall the old pakage to reinstalle it again, but when I try to uninstall the pakage ive found usin dpkg -l, apt-get remove say it Shishire: why? [18:15] keewee: windows is NOT a good gauge of hardware health [18:15] animeloe, please take chat elsewhere [18:15] wols_, trying to run utorrent [18:16] ok bazhang [18:16] guillaume_: third and last time: the package is not currently installed check your dpkg -l output more carefully. first two letters on the line [18:16] Hello I am about to make the switch from windows to ubuntu for the first time, but I have encounterd a problem. The only internet source I have right now is a Huawei E220 Vodafone USB modem, and I couldn't manage to make it work on ubuntu. Could anyone help? [18:16] wols_, it needs to open a SOCK_RAW [18:16] I'm trying to get nvidia-glx to work. I kept getting "api mismatch" in dmesg, because the client is 96.xx (correct), but the kernel module is 71.xx (wrong). Any advice? [18:16] Shishire: why does this need "cap_net_raw"? [18:16] Shishire: no it does not [18:16] Shishire: seriously I think it's in setgr or something like that [18:16] adamb: install the correct kernel module and uninstall this old 71.xx one [18:16] Help.. Ubuntu cdimage/torrent tracker recently refusing my connection, where should I report this? [18:16] a grsecurity util iirc [18:16] http://pastebin.com/d3e82e857 [18:17] Shishire: a WARNING is NO ERROR [18:17] looks like a capability issue [18:17] wols_: I made the option defaults,user ... then when i try to mount it says "Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE library."

I've installed realplayer thanks to with tutorial http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#Installing_Real_Player_11_and_Configuring_Mozilla_Plugin but i can't listen to bbc radio on www.bbc.co.uk [18:17] wols_ it's RC [18:17] whats a good rar manager for ubuntu? [18:17] But I still want to install Ubuntu on that machine... The first thing I told her was that the disk was broken, then I saw that it worked on my computer and then OK with Windows... She just need a computer to use intrnet, nothing else... If the drive breaks she'll buy another, but it works... [18:17] Shoopuf: is this a fixed built in disk/partition? [18:17] i never used this before [18:17] keewee: replace the hard drive [18:18] Shoopuf: try: sudo adduser fuse [18:18] vsowns: sudo apt-get install rar [18:18] wols_, well, it obviously is some sort of problem, its not opening a socket connection. even the program says that [18:18] Shoopuf: wrong, sudo addgroup fuse [18:18] well it work with gnome manager too? [18:18] vsowns: if you use GNOME, the Archive Manager should work with rar archives [18:18] wols_: Sorry I don't understand the question. [18:18] shouldn't I decide whether to install Ubuntu or not? instead of the system deciding for me? [18:18] vsowns: rar is a command line iirc [18:18] vsowns: after you install the rar backend [18:18] eddyMul: that requires rar or unrar [18:18] keewee: your problem is NOT software [18:18] it's hardware [18:18] it don't work with chain rars [18:19] anyone ?

[18:19] and then why Windows installs flawless and Ubuntu doesn't? and surface tests work, and data copying work, etc... [18:19] vsowns: it does, if you mean chain rars = a rar acrhive broken into pieces? [18:19] this flash update sucks big time, laggs bad and crashes left and right [18:19] yeah [18:19] Shoopuf: do you use mount or pmount ? [18:19] Shoopuf: for user you use pmount [18:19] because of how linux uses hardware [18:20] hi, how can i choose the channel? [18:20] also what controller card is this [18:20] it might not be an exclusive hd problem [18:20] It may not be software, but I'm not sure it's the Hard drive or another incompatibility [18:20] Shoopuf: you _could_ run wne as root. bad choice tho [18:20] getting [18:20] configure: creating ./config.status [18:20] config.status: creating Makefile.conf [18:20] make: *** [all] Fout 2 [18:20] make: *** [install] Fout 2 [18:20] now.. while installing my sound drivers. please help :) [18:20] * animeloe beats up Pepp1 [18:20] Pepp1: don't paste [18:20] ?

I just cant get it to work.. here it is: for %i in *.tiff, do tesseract %i %i -l eng, done (all i get is a > and no furthur activity) can someone please explain what im doing wrong?

[18:32] to report my inability to chown [18:33] gaelfx_: what makes you think there's a kernel issue? [18:33] genia4: I thought I had your answer, but actually, I'd like to know that too. [18:33] amenado: Oddly enough, it doesn't give me anything for properties. Just "Add this to the panel, blahblah) [18:33] Hi. [18:33] archive type not supported [18:33] hi TURKEY [18:33] ethereality: do you have an account at Launchpad? [18:33] when I had Gutsy on the same machine, no freezing [18:33] now, it freezes everyday [18:33] atlef, yes, and i am at the "Report a bug" webpage [18:34] atlef, but i don't know what to say for package or project or tags [18:34] Leefmc-> which icon is that? where are you finding it? [18:34] mouser-: tried everything, all sorts of complex ?fors. Can't get them right though, I think bash is eating some of the special chars... [18:34] gaelfx_: again, how do you conclude it's the kernel? [18:34] atlef, or description === TURKEY is now known as GOdFaTHeR [18:34] Anyone here using vmware with a laptop, how can I change my guest network when I switch from wifi to wired network on host machine ? [18:34] gaelfx, and if you want the Gutsy kernel, why not use Gutsy itself until Intrepid comes out? [18:34] ethereality: 1 sec. [18:34] amenado: Wow this is confusing, it just changed on me to a folder looking icon. Anyway, they were put there by Houdini (3d app), and it is under Applications [18:34] well, the freezing has no definitive cause that I can discern [18:35] because I don't want to do yet another OS install on my harddrive!

[18:35] and downloading Gutsy at this point would probably take more than a week [18:35] right now anyone any ideas why the amount of memory suggested by the output is wrong when this machine has 1024MB i.e a gig and the output from cat /proc/meminfo this machine says 512, it's a dell dimension C521 [18:35] is there a gconf editor that works from command line? [18:35] gaelfx_: you should check the logs in /var/log/ for clues to what is causing it to freeze. [18:36] which log? [18:36] henux: gconf-editor [18:36] snarkster: You need to take a look at a bash scripting tutorial or something, you have a few issues in that line of code. [18:36] amenado: Well i found the uninstall script in the dir, i think that'll work [18:36] gaelfx_: there are several [18:36] Leefmc-> perhaps uninstall houdini === GOdFaTHeR is now known as AdeLanTe [18:36] ok lisun.. [18:36] which is why I'm wondering which one you think I ought to look at [18:36] AdeLanTe: please stop with the nick spam. Pick one and stick with it. [18:36] im trying to insall ubuntu 8.05 [18:36] genia4: do you have many packages to install, or could you simply do it manually in aptitude or synaptic? [18:36] amenado: Huh? You mean clicking the uninstall houdini icon? [18:36] dual boot with xp [18:36] I just installed 7.10, and installed the 288 updates for it... Now, at GRUB, I have a kernel somethingsomething.14 and a somethingsomething.15. Why? And can I remove the old one? [18:36] ethereality: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/+filebug and enter gnome-terminal in the project [18:37] Leefmc-> why not ..to start from scratch [18:37] snarkster: #bash might be able to point you in the right direction [18:37] gaelfx_: well, if you suspect the kernel, look first at kern.log [18:37] mouser-: many [18:37] tritium Ok [18:37] im g2g. [18:37] by by [18:37] every 1 [18:37] (= [18:37] Dematagoda: how do I do that? [18:37] amenado: I did, thats the problem haha. Im trying to uninstall, but i need admin to do it. Thats why i was asking about that ;P, but i found the uninstall script so all should be fine [18:37] timsandtoms-> you can remove the old one, but keep it for a few days, in case the new one does not boot, am assuming the old one is bootable [18:37] atlef, thanks [18:38] can I remove smb.conf, and re-install samba to have a "fresh install"? [18:38] timsandtoms: use synaptics to remove the oldest kernel as long as the new one works [18:38] genia4: I suspect you've tried the man page already? [18:38] of course [18:38] and the online docs [18:38] Is there a _offline_ poker software that works on ubuntu... to assist a reallife poker game with blind-counter etc [18:38] ethereality: you are welcome [18:38] does anyone know how to use a Gmail account with Kopete 0.5? [18:38] DarrenCT-> remove the old one with the apt-get remove perhaps? [18:39] WhenI do: sudo apt-get install irssi [18:39] I get: [18:39] hi guys [18:39] Reading package lists... Done [18:39] Building dependency tree [18:39] Reading state information... Done [18:39] can anybody tell me a VERY SIMPLE way of getting my ipod to work with amarok? [18:39] E: Couldn't find package irssi [18:39] amenado, i did apt-get remove samba, but the .conf stays. [18:39] what can I do? [18:39] eraldo: pokerth [18:39] amenado, atlef: The new one works :D How do I remove it? I don't remember the exact name of the old one(Or the new one) [18:39] DarrenCT-> try to use apt-get remove --purge samba [18:39] i did a memtest and i got about over 400 errors! Is my RAM bad??? Should i replace them or what's the problem?? [18:40] timsandtoms: search for linux-image in synaptic [18:40] rockyrock: that's what memtest errors usually mean [18:40] ? [18:40] that your RAM is bad and you need replacements [18:40] maybe someone of you could help if i use %r for the color red in screenrc how can i manipulate the color (over *color1: #e04613) its not possible. Maybe someone can help me [18:40] timsandtoms-> uname -r well tell you what you have running now, match the corresponding one in /boot that is old and remove [18:40] mouser-: I can't get ?for to work in aptitude, or anything with ? for that matter [18:40] Any idea please? [18:40] mouser-: when I press "/" to start a search and type ?name(whatever), it gives me an error [18:41] atlef: we are playing with real cards... on the screenshot it looks as if it where a replacement for the real game... is it ? or can it be used to assist a real game ? [18:41] tritium: I have no idea what I'm supposed to be looking for here [18:41] wamty: sudo apt-get update first === Roland422 is now known as Rolanditu [18:41] mouser-: "invalid preceding regular expression" [18:41] Actually sometimes my PC reboot suddenly! [18:41] all I see is bluetooth apparently resyncing every other microsecond [18:41] my dpkg is damaged [18:41] nanosecond, whatever [18:41] eraldo: sorry, maybe i did not understand [18:41] i can't apt-get [18:41] rockyrock: that may be an ACPI, powersupply or temperature problem [18:41] eraldo: i thougt you wanted a offline poker game [18:42] mouser-: even ?true doesn't work :( [18:42] atlef: nop,.. offline poker software to assist a real game... [18:42] wamty, try using symatic package manager and search for it then get it from there [18:42] So this problem isn't about RAM [18:42] does anyone know a offline poker software that is used to assist a real game ? [18:43] eraldo: a counter of sorts? [18:43] isor, wamty: if apt-get can't find it, either will synaptic. You need to first refresh your package list. [18:43] amenado, i will try that instead .. [18:43] rockyrock: it may not be, but the fact that memtest put those errors up could suggest something about them [18:43] broken RAM can cause some weird stuff at times [18:43] But look man even i got over 400 errors but i haven't faced any problems, so what are those errors! [18:44] atlef: counter of sorts ? [18:44] # deb-src http://qa.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-backports main restricted universe multiverse [18:44] ? [18:44] rockyrock: memtest tests one thing, and that's RAM, so obviously its something wrong with the RAM, what errors does it give? [18:44] eraldo: im not sure what you mean [18:44] :( [18:45] i don't remember, but from all kinds!!!! [18:45] What are the best RAM brands? [18:45] amenado, atlef: Thanks, got it. Went the Synaptic route. [18:45] genia4: If it's bash, it might not be ubuntu specific - you could try asking in other channels/forums as well, as well as hanging around here. People join all the time; there will certainly be someone with more experience than I. My experience is limited with anything beyond reading man pages and basic coding. Still, I'd like to know the answer as well. If you happen to find it, let me know. [18:45] can someone help me please? [18:45] wamty: I told you what to do [18:45] timsandtoms: good you sorted it out [18:45] rockyrock: then try and replace your RAM, usually Kingston is the best(in my opinion), but other brands such as Corsair arent bad either [18:46] Corsair >> Kingston [18:46] mouser- no problem [18:46] tritium, ok, perhaps that way, I dont know, I havent tried out DDR3 or Kingston [18:46] or =of [18:47] rockyrock: at which point did you get those errors and how much ram do you have? [18:47] PmDematagoda_: just my opinion, of course [18:47] what to install to get the command mp4box? [18:48] ok, here's something: right now, my internet connection is behaving as it should [18:48] Is there any tests for the CPU and the Cashe??? I feel that i have problem with the CPU cuz i bought the CPU without a fan or BOX, i think its called TRAY! [18:48] atlef: I have some people over at my place tonight... we will play poker with real cards... an there is software that takes care of blind counters and how much money what place will get... taking the rebuys into considderation etc.. [18:48] can anyone tell me the relevant places to look so that when it doesn't work well, I can figure out the problem? [18:48] how do I identify what my onboard soundcard's chipset is in order to find out what driver i need for it? [18:48] the possibility of installing java should be dependent on the version of browser, not on the version of OS, why is that not the case? [18:48] i get them from the beggining and Brand is Rainbow i think! [18:49] rockyrock: whats the processor you have? [18:49] INETL [18:49] eraldo: ok, then you lost me. we usually do this by memory [18:49] Dual Core 3.6 GHz [18:49] idefix_: why do you contend that should be the case? You could have java with no browser at all! [18:49] NOT CORE DUE [18:49] rockyrock: whoa, that doesnt have a fan? [18:49] tritium, really? [18:49] idefix_: sure [18:49] did I offend someone? [18:49] rockyrock: how the hell is it cooled? [18:50] is upgrading from dapper to a java-enabling OS easy and riskless? [18:50] idefix_: cause each ubuntu version ony comes with certain java versions [18:50] "gnome-terminal does not use Launchpad as its bug tracker. [18:50] You can refine and resubmit your bug report." [18:50] usually the currently latest [18:50] gaelfx_: if you did, someone would have said [18:50] *so [18:50] dapper can't handle java [18:50] ikonia, how should i go about filing this bug? [18:50] No i bought a Fan for it ( ASUS ) and the temp is about 50 C [18:50] the dapper Synaptic java Packets do not work [18:50] and thoughts, atlef? [18:50] rockyrock: then it isnt overheating [18:50] *any [18:50] !doesn't work [18:50] 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. [18:51] hello [18:51] Yes but i feel that the CPU isn't good [18:51] hello [18:51] you speak russian ? [18:51] rockyrock: that may be a cause in the problem [18:51] idefix_: dapper was an LTS release. You can upgrade straight to hardy (8.04, and current stable release). [18:51] ok, so if I'm experiencing problems with my internet connection, but the connection works well right now, is there something I could do now to help me find out what the problem is? [18:51] russian [18:51] does anyone know a offline poker software that is used to assist a real game ? [18:51] ethereality: did it not work, reporting the bug at the adress i gave you [18:51] rockyrock: do you have warranties on the stuff? [18:51] !ru | maks_ [18:51] maks_: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [18:51] NO! [18:51] !ru | maks_ [18:52] hello [18:52] right, well I installed the synaptic java packages but when I would like it to work with an online multiplayer game I get a link to a downloadable installation file which does not function [18:52] rockyrock: ok, that makes things a little more complex [18:52] you speak russian ? [18:52] !doesn'tfunction [18:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about doesn'tfunction [18:52] maks_: see above [18:52] atlef, i think i figured it out: Project should be "Ubuntu gnome-terminal", not just "gnome-terminal" [18:52] Have you ever heardabout TRAY processors? [18:52] rockyrock: no, what are they? [18:52] ethereality: ah, good [18:52] is there anyway i can practise .asp in ubuntu? i have installed apache, php & mysql and i thought that would have basic asp compatibility :/ [18:52] tritium, how many % computer disaccessing after installation is there? [18:52] at the risk of repeating myself [18:52] ok, so if I'm experiencing problems with my internet connection, but the connection works well right now, is there something I could do now to help me find out what the problem is? [18:53] atlef, no. There is no project named 'Ubuntu gnome-terminal' registered in Launchpad [18:53] idefix_: huh? [18:53] atlef, i'm at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/+filebug-advanced [18:53] hello [18:53] atlef, trying to file a bug for chown [18:53] These are processors that are sold without Fans or boxes or warranties [18:53] you speak russina ? [18:53] well, some computer guy offered me a DVD burner for 15 bucks, but I don't have it yet so I didn't backup any harddrives, so installation causing a computer scrambling is not wise [18:53] tritrum [18:53] rockyrock: why on earth did you buy something like that? [18:53] tritium [18:54] it's very cheap man 80$ onyl! [18:54] is there anyway i can practise .asp in ubuntu? [18:54] ugh, good night people [18:54] rockyrock: perhaps in the short-term, but long-term it is cheaper to buy the full one, especially if you have problems with the processor [18:54] ethereality: in package search for terminal, and gnome-terminal should be the one you should choose [18:55] Hi, i recently installed vmware from the rpm file fro their website (converted to deb with alien). Now i don't manage to start vmwareplayer [18:55] tritium, some computer guy offered me a DVD burner for 15 bucks, but I don't have it yet so I didn't backup any harddrives, so installation causing a computer scrambling is not wise [18:55] rockyrock: which if you do, can be a very painful thing [18:55] The command vmwareplayer is not found [18:55] I heard that these processors were tested by INTEL and it found some errors with them so it sells them to poor countries without any warranties! [18:55] hello [18:55] idefix_: Do you have files on your linux partition(s) that you need? [18:55] can someone tell me why my edits to sudoers work from command line, but not from gksudo or the gui? [18:55] how to create my chanell ? [18:55] rockyrock: anyway, no use arguing about this [18:56] tritium doesn't everybody? [18:56] maks_: 1) Stop PMing. 2) /join #ubuntu-ru [18:56] rockyrock: did you try booting up Ubuntu with acpi=off? [18:56] what is acpi??? [18:56] uhhh === _max is now known as max``` [18:56] !acpi [18:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about acpi [18:56] damn [18:56] heh [18:56] idefix_: not necessarily.

[19:01] ikonia thinks it is a bug with ntfs-3g, some earlier version, but s/he "cannot be sure" [19:01] :( [19:01] rockyrock: I alrady said it [19:01] animeloe, thanks, do you know what driver i would need to install to get it working? [19:01] it's an API of the BIOS [19:01] * ethereality wishes to use "he" as a neutral pronoun henceforth. [19:01] girls fit any topic [19:01] uhhh... ac97 [19:01] ethereality: I would agree with ikonia [19:01] is it a software a hardware??? [19:01] when I run WINE with war3.exe, i get "instruction at '0x7DE642DF' referenced memory at '0x00000000' The memory could not be 'read.' Then it crashes [19:01] rockyrock: OS and BIOS controls the hardware, which probably includes the powersupply [19:01] * animeloe watches cakey get kicked/banned [19:01] tritium, thus the bug report. [19:02] cakey: no, #ubuntu has a specific topic [19:02] (see end of our conversation) [19:02] * cakey the topic is now about ubuntu girls [19:02] ethereality: yes, I read that [19:02] hai girls of ubuntu [19:02] tritium, :P [19:02] rockyrock: the OS implementation of ACPI is a hot way to have problems [19:02] HAHA [19:02] ouch. [19:02] I knew that was coming a mile away [19:02] *giggle* [19:02] when I run WINE with war3.exe, i get "instruction at '0x7DE642DF' referenced memory at '0x00000000' The memory could not be 'read.' Then it crashes [19:02] g2g, rockyrock someone else will have to help since I need to go [19:02] bye [19:03] chrismorrows: yeah :-) [19:03] rockyrock: what exactly is your problem with acpi [19:03] thnx bye [19:03] what year is your bios? [19:03] What is the preferred way of connecting to a windows desktop remotely? [19:03] Gun_Smoke: remote desktop [19:03] but I've tried it and apparently it doens't like anything non-windows connecting [19:03] sometimes my computer reboots suddenly, and i did a memtest and got over 400 errors! [19:03] Gun_Smoke: if you just want cli ssh is the preferred way [19:03] animeloe, after choosing the correct ip it dumps [19:04] I use Windows and Ubuntu [19:04] rockyrock: I'll say this in caps for visability purposes :) [19:04] I need to see the desktop. [19:04] sanchez: qfc: 343341 [19:04] CHANGE YOUR MEMORY ^_^ [19:04] or your memory controller has flew de cu [19:04] Gun_Smoke: what you mean "dumps" [19:05] I was wondering windows has the windows movie maker but in ubuntu what should i use thats kinda like that if not better? [19:05] :o [19:05] I feel that ubuntu is instable, but Windows is actaully stable [19:05] does ubutnu MID also run on eee pc? [19:05] hello [19:05] uhhh [19:05] rockyrock what version are you using [19:05] it's the exact opposite [19:05] are there any xorg.conf experts here? [19:05] what year is your bios rockyrock [19:06] anyone got time to answer a very newbie question? [19:06] Gr3y__: ask your question [19:06] 8.04 [19:06] rockyrock: ultimately it's the bios release which determines a lot with acpi [19:06] when I run WINE with war3.exe, i get "instruction at '0x7DE642DF' referenced memory at '0x00000000' The memory could not be 'read.' Then it crashes [19:06] i am running that too and it is pretty stable with gnome... are you using kde or gnome rockyrock [19:06] also add acpi=off in your kernel command line [19:06] anyone has a tutorial on how i can use asp/asp.net in ubuntu? [19:06] i don't know i haven't checked it! [19:06] well..... [19:06] I just hooked up my desktop to a new hdtv and it won't display anything [19:06] first change your memroy [19:06] then see if it's more stable [19:06] Baby_Shambl3s: you can't really. .asp is windows. [19:06] hi... [19:06] anyone ok to answer a stupid question? [19:06] windows doesn't give a rat's ass about how bad the memory is [19:07] uhh [19:07] i can't even stop xserver or switch to cli [19:07] there is an apache module, but it's not very stable and it's buggy iirc [19:07] just ask [19:07] newukguy just ask [19:07] gnome [19:07] Gr3y__: try CTRL+ALT+BCKSP [19:07] i think i tested it out once, but it failed :) [19:07] I want to build a kernel and than tar it. [19:07] rockyrock what don't you feel stable [19:07] i did [19:07] lazertek_: his memory is full of errors and he wonders why windows is more "stable" [19:07] the only thing I can do at that point is to hard reset the machine [19:07] eth01: there must be at least a way to run it/use it even if it is windows, am i forced to changed to my m$ partition everytime i want to work on asp? [19:07] my problem is, that i don't know how to say that the kernel modules get in a specific direktory... [19:08] hi [19:08] i am trying to install from the ubuntu 8.04 live cd downloaded from the unbuntu website, it is the correct version for my dell d630 laptop. it gets to the splash screen and then hangs for ever with just a flashing cursor, is there anyway to move it alone [19:08] animeloe: he can always clear that as long as its not hardware errors [19:08] newukguy: try rebooting and adding acpi=off [19:08] I did make modules install prefis="/myfolder" but this does not work [19:08] i just started trying to install from a alternate cd via usb [19:08] animeloe, how do i do that [19:08] lazertek_: [14:03:48] sometimes my computer reboots suddenly, and i did a memtest and got over 400 errors! [19:08] undortunately it wants to use a cd instead of the usb disk [19:08] any idea waht to do ? [19:08] have you tried mono project? [19:09] I'm having a problem that only happens in Ubuntu. Amarok won't scan for my library and it has no status bar to tell me any apparent progress [19:09] ronny: mount -t bind $USBMOUNTPOINT /cdrom [19:09] then retry [19:09] buzain, looking at it now? [19:09] look man I have Windows Xp and i see that Windows Xp is much faster than Ubuntu 8.04. It's faster when opening ever the IE! Faster when opening Firefox in ubuntu, and also faster when oepning other programs [19:09] animeloe: i see [19:09] OR tell it to look at alternate directory [19:09] i'm using a 6600 with drivers through binary and a sharp aquos 1080p set [19:09] Hi, what do you use to backup your whole OS (boot + files) on ubuntu ? [19:09] animeloe, how do i do that [19:09] hi, i'm an unbuntu newbie with a question about kate text editor. i'm perplexed about how to open/edit files on a remote server (ftp). do i also need to get kdevelop to do this? [19:09] Zikey: boot a Live CD, then dump sda/hda to another dick [19:09] s/dick/disc === Ming_K is now known as MingK [19:10] excuse me for that mistake [19:10] if I want to backup while system is running ? [19:10] not a good idea [19:10] rsync is your best friend [19:10] rockyrock, 8.04 is more stable than vista anyday... more than any windows infact but xp is the one that comes closest to linux === yacc_ is now known as yacc [19:10] but it's not helpful doing a full backup because of open files and such [19:10] dammit [19:10] lazertek_: I still think xp is no where close to linux [19:11] but that's on a lower level :) [19:11] broken config files [19:11] animeloe, it isn't but out of all the win versions its the one that comes closest [19:11] true [19:11] on another note [19:11] rockyrock: I've said it many times, change your memory [19:11] THEN see what happens [19:11] so guys you both agree that XP is faster?? [19:11] How do I get Amarok to scan for my music? It won't do it at all. [19:11] ok i'lll [19:11] as I was saying to another person "windows doesn't care about buggy hardware" [19:12] AnimatedBox, go file and add folders [19:12] If i rellay wanna backup (clone) everything while system is running can I rely on LVM2 and its snapshots feature ? [19:12] it'll happily run on faulty hardware and then KILL your data [19:12] Hi can anyone tell me is it possible to add XP to a dual boot after ubuntu is installed. My HD is divided as follows: (Ubuntu 20GB) and (Media partition of 20GB NTFS format) Ive have copied the media to another PC so is it possible to install XP now to this 20GB NTFS partition [19:12] yes [19:12] AnimatedBox, or just drag the folder in there [19:12] BUT be warned of locked and open files [19:12] How can I have an application run at startup without root privileges? Not at login, but system boot. [19:12] simotempler: partion the drive, install xp to the new parttion and set up boot.ini as your boot loader [19:12] err:wine_d3d:WineDirect3DCreate Direct3D8 is not available without opengl [19:12] anyone have a clue what that means? [19:12] thx animeloe ! [19:12] welcome [19:13] rvtcadmin-> you dont normally edit a file remotely via ftp or kedit, however you can use the ssh to tunnel to remote then execute bunch of commands [19:13] lazertek_: there is no "file," but when I go to Add media under playlist, all it does is add stuff to my playlist. My library is still empty [19:13] how 2 get music player [19:13] papabean-> try putting it in your .bashrc as a script to be run [19:13] AnimatedBox: Have you setup your collection in Amarok's prefernces? [19:13] AnimatedBox: your looking in the wrong place [19:13] simotempler, yes but you'll have reconfigure grub [19:13] amenado: I want it to run with my privileges BEFORE I log in. [19:13] AnimatedBox: you need to find the "add to library" [19:14] papabean: yes. it's set. By the way the update and scan collection functions are greyed out [19:14] drag the playlist to the library or right click and AnimatedBox [19:14] papabean: sticky bit [19:14] what is the name of a convertor that will convert AC3 into mp3? [19:14] papabean-> what script is this for? === fdfdfd is now known as Manzana === lazertek_ is now known as lazertek [19:14] i have tried "sudo gedit" and "sudo nautilus" -- i cannot edit this file, even though the owner and group is root. what is wrong? [19:14] animeloe: are you sure you're talking about Amarok? [19:14] mahidhar: which musicplayer? [19:14] yes I am [19:14] there's an "add to playlist" and "add to library" [19:14] got a last one, using a live CD can i start a minimal ubuntu OS, set up the network and mount a NFS filesystem ? (can I do the same with alternate CD ?) [19:14] mahidhar go to add remove programs [19:14] ethereality: Which file? Also: With graphical programs always use gksu instead of sudo [19:14] yes [19:14] amenado: It's not a script. I'd like quasselcore to run at startup, so it's always running. [19:14] it says "gedit cannot handle _file:_ locations in write mode." [19:15] i am trying to install from the ubuntu 8.04 live cd downloaded from the unbuntu website, it is the correct version for my dell d630 laptop. it gets to the splash screen and then hangs for ever with just a flashing cursor, is there anyway to move it along [19:15] animeloe: nope. Just add to playlist, add stream, add last FM stream. And that's all there is to add [19:15] i am trying out compiz where can i get a tutorial on how to control the movements - yea i know that this for suse issue only but you guys have the knowledge anyway [19:15] open the library [19:15] done, thx for your help ! === Kopfgeldjaeger2 is now known as Kopfgeldjaeger [19:15] newukguy: try to get the alternate cd [19:15] animeloe: done [19:15] welcome [19:15] AnimatedBox: there's a way to ADD to library [19:16] newukguy: define 'forever' [19:16] * suselin confuded [19:16] just drag your directory in question to the library [19:16] bah screw it, I'll just try installing amd64 flavors and using someone elses xorf.conf [19:16] should work [19:16] Flannel, see my bug report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/247940 [19:16] AnimatedBox: try to get the alternate cd [19:16] Launchpad bug 247940 in gnome-terminal "chown command fails" [Undecided,New] [19:16] papabean-> it has to be always running? that becomes a daemon noh? [19:16] anyone know what the wipe command is to wipe an entire HD using a PRNG stream with the Merrianne Twister with 8 rounds? [19:16] Flannel, i do not have write permission for this file and cannot get it. [19:16] Gr3y__ so will XP give me the option of installing to the NTFS partition [19:16] newukguy: sorry [19:16] * animeloe mutters [19:16] amenado: It doesn't necessarily have to always be running, but I'd prefer that. [19:17] simotempler the new partion should be blank when your done, try using gparted or such [19:17] animeloe: ok I see. It wants to copy my music to a different folder where it keeps the collection. I kind of want to keep my music wheere it already is. How do I do that? [19:17] amenado: But I'd prefer it NOT have root priviliges. [19:17] how do you watch a .m4v file on Ubuntu? [19:17] papabean-> i dont know what a quaselcore is, what does it do? [19:17] I want to buy a new processor what do u suggest INTEL Core 2 Due or AMD Athlon X2? [19:17] I was wondering windows has the windows movie maker but in ubuntu what should i use thats kinda like that if not better? [19:17] just i already have an NTFS partition that i was using for media [19:17] AnimatedBox: Point Amarok's collection config to the location of your music. [19:17] rockyrock: I'd suggest intel for now [19:17] can i clear that and use it [19:17] simotempler: also give it a weird size like ... 43gigs so you can quickly identify it at install [19:17] amd seems to be lagging now adays [19:17] animeloe: "could not launch kmail client" [19:17] nice_burger over 15 minutes [19:17] Why? [19:17] and teh CD stops accessing [19:18] then yeah that will work, it'll just destroy your media [19:18] papabean: where? All I can do is say what folders contain music from what I've noticed [19:18] i m not able 2 play online music........ how can i play it [19:18] l3d: what is it you want to do? [19:18] newukguy: reboot and add to the commandline acpi=off [19:18] you might have a buggy acpi [19:18] animeloe where do i add that line to [19:18] amenado: Irrelevant to the question, but I'll answer. :) Quasselcore is the core component of Quassel-Irc. [19:18] cheers have the media backed up [19:18] can someone tell me why my edits to sudoers work from command line, but not when I use a launcher in gnome? [19:18] make a vid to add to my youtube account [19:18] when the cd boots to the bootup menu there's a way to add lines [19:18] ok, I know how to convert ac3-to-mp3 now ... use ffmpeg but I had to add a "ac3" suffix to input file [19:18] ok, now whenever I open up the "collection" tab in Amarok, it says "couldn't open kmail client" and crashes. [19:19] What does kmail have to do with this? It makes no sense [19:19] What about a motherboard? is Asus the best? [19:19] dunno [19:19] ok, thanks will try [19:19] I've been out of the loop for awhile rockyrock [19:19] welcome newukguy [19:19] AnimatedBox: It's crashing and trying to automate a crash report via kmail. [19:19] rockyrock: Yes [19:19] papabean: oh ok [19:19] rockyrock: They are rock solid AND heart touching [19:19] AnimatedBox: Do you have read&write permissions to the folder your music's in? [19:19] uhhh [19:19] I wouldn't go that far Gr3y__ [19:19] thnx [19:20] loool i agree [19:20] amenado. really? a response to this thread made it appear that this is a common function. I am accustomed to using transmit (Ftp client) in mac, and from there i can simply choose 'view in text wrangler' Then i can open it, edit it, and save it remotely. my coworker made it sound like kate can do this sort of thing easily [19:20] papabean: I, myself do. I don't know if Amarok does or doesn't. My music is on an external hard drive. [19:20] rockyrock: also it'll depend on what you need [19:20] animeloe: It sasy it on the box. Are you going to call taiwan a liar? [19:20] l3d: cinelerra, avidemux and fuocotools might be what you want [19:20] asus is great, BUT it's limiting in some ways [19:20] ok will look thanks [19:20] AnimatedBox: That's how mine was configured, too. In an NTFS-formatted partition. [19:20] I haven't like the number of expansions on asus boards [19:20] papabean: yeah. [19:20] but then I need lots of space [19:20] how many do you need? [19:21] 4 PCI :) [19:21] i have a graphics card, a wireless and i may stick in some sata controlers [19:21] now adays I've wanted 2 16xpcie [19:21] any geek women around? [19:21] * animeloe eyes Algeris with the ban button [19:21] papabean: when I try to delete the song from my library, it says "deleting 0 files" [19:21] animeloe: haha [19:21] if animeloe had one... [19:21] does linux suport sli? [19:21] Gr3y__: yes [19:22] jussi I use to be +o in another channel like this [19:22] papabean-> try system->preferences->session then add the app you wish to startup [19:22] Gr3y__: atleast mine does [19:22] so no geek women ... this should be a geek network [19:22] so it's easy to pick out the eligible ones [19:22] Algeris: Please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, not here, thanks. [19:22] HAHA [19:22] told you :) [19:22] Gr3y__: I don't thinks o [19:22] but sli is just software stuff [19:23] papabean: ok, I got the crashing to stop. No progress on the library though [19:23] amenado: I want it to start BEFORE I log in. [19:23] hey animieloe can you take a look at this:http://redhatcat.blogspot.com/2007/09/xorg-for-sharp-aquos-and-nvidia-8800.html if install x64 kubuntu will that xorg conf work? [19:23] assuming your mobo has 2 pcie AND the bios to support it, then it's a matter of driver support [19:23] anyone know how I can fix "internal error HAL failed to initialize" ? [19:23] Gr3y__: i have a 7950gx2 and it works in sli mode [19:24] papabean-> those will run before you log in..session is saved and restart upon reboot [19:24] atlef: are you a big gamer? === dani is now known as Guest6345 [19:24] hi - i'm going a dist-upgrade from the command line and I'm seeing a lot of "Selecting previously deselected..." and "Unpacking x (from ..." and no mention of installing anything - is this something to be concerned about? [19:24] as I was stating :) [19:24] it's all in the device driver [19:24] janej: not at all [19:24] OGL and company doesn't CARE about stuff like that [19:24] amenado: That's not right. I have Klipper set to start with my session. That doesn't run until I log in to my desktop. [19:24] janej: no [19:24] Gr3y__: no, but max payne an halflife 2 works like a charm [19:24] "unpacking $PACKAGE" == install [19:25] anybody know of a gnome toolbar app or docklet that act's like the update manager, but can do it for a remote system? I have a server that runs ubuntu that I'd like to notify me when it has updates. Thanks [19:25] all i want is my machine to server hd content to my new tv through xbmc [19:25] janej: lots of managers use different terminology [19:25] pici thank you for you r response I had to step away right after asking that question [19:25] uhh..... [19:25] genia4: Figured it out? Yes, please PM. [19:25] Gr3y__: ok, I'm also resorting to the slightly extreme measure of upgrading 6.10 -> 8.04 by just changing the apt sources file so when this does break I just want to make sure it's my fault :) [19:25] that's a far strech [19:25] janej: expect LOTS of breakage [19:25] it will be [19:26] i would have just done a serious of dist-upgrades [19:26] janej: I don't have to think, I KNOW you'll get a major break [19:26] just a quick question... i'm guessin most of us here are using xchat right? [19:26] what about it? [19:26] Nope, irssi. [19:26] papabean i'd put it in /etc/rc.local [19:26] irssi [19:26] * animeloe uses xchat/irssi [19:26] Actually, I'm IRC-ing via telnet. [19:27] or kchat [19:27] :P [19:27] lol [19:27] animeloe: dist-upgrades just weren't working, it couldn't find any 6.10 repositories anywhere... [19:27] I've done that before, it stunk pretty hard. Anyway. [19:27] janej: just dl the new CD and upgrade that way [19:27] janej: Thats because 6.10 is EOL, and the repositories have been taken down. [19:27] rvtcadmin-> you ftp the file to your local host then edit and ftp it back to remote? [19:27] there are a lot more kirc like programs but i am a gnome fan so i don't like using the k's [19:27] first backup your data, then redo [19:27] janej: Are you trying to upgrade to 7.04? [19:27] amenado: It'll run there, but as root. [19:27] lazertek: kvirc [19:27] chatzilla suckas! [19:27] !poll [19:27] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [19:27] well i love k3b more than any other burning program tho [19:27] Flannel: was initially but someone else suggested I might as well go to 8.04 [19:28] * animeloe wonders where irc clients poll got [19:28] janej: goto 8.04 [19:28] janej: Right, but if you want to upgrade, you go from 6.10 to 7.04 to 7.10 to 8.04 [19:28] so i have been using avimux and cinelerra for video editing. does n e one know anything better? [19:28] amenado, no, i think there's any easier way - i think i just found it (hooray!) here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=138460 [19:28] solved problems in 7 [19:28] hi [19:28] janej: You can't go straight from 6.10 to 8.04 without a reinstall. [19:28] ubottu: i was just checking what a lot of people around here prefered... was a quick poll [19:28] lazertek: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:28] my Philips DV camera connected by firewire is working with kino. But ekiga doesn't find it. Any ideas? [19:28] Flannel: uh oh. [19:29] lazertek, ubottu is a bot [19:29] ubottu: u make me feel stupi9d [19:29] lazertek: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:29] yea i figured [19:29] lol [19:29] just playin with it [19:29] ubottu: is a bot [19:29] Yes, I can confirm that I am a bot. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots for all information. [19:29] HAHA [19:29] janej: You need an edgy repo to upgrade (completely) to get to feisty, and you can find that here: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ [19:29] animeloe: i would just get a DVD and install from there but I'm on an old thinkpad X series with no optical drive so it's all a bit of a bother [19:29] ubottu can u now [19:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about can u now [19:29] not really [19:29] Flannel: hah! [19:29] there's a network boot system [19:29] audifahrer: does it work with msn under windows? [19:29] it's a floppy/cd that does things off network [19:30] s/does/get [19:30] atlef: I've no windows on my PC with firewire connector [19:30] xchat fan but customized... i don't really like the default setup [19:30] * animeloe thinks lazertek should stop while he's still ahead of the game [19:31] Buffer I/O error? [19:31] audifahrer: and should it work as a webcam? [19:31] animeloe lol.., [19:31] I'm serious [19:31] animeloe: no optical drive to boot stuff from for a network install and can't use PXE as I'm in a geek-infrastructure poor environment [19:31] janej: use a boot floppy then [19:31] animeloe i just leading to my next question [19:31] i.e all I've got is a laptop, wifi and some spare time. [19:31] animeloe: no floppy either :) [19:31] janej: what DO you have that's bootable? [19:31] janej: no usb? [19:31] any idea where i can find customized themes for xchat??? at www.xchat.org/themes the download link don't work [19:31] janej: Do you have a spare partition? [19:32] janej: use a boot floppy then : shudders [19:32] searched around on google but couldn't really find much [19:32] janej: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Installation%20without%20a%20CD [19:32] Hello, I am hoping somebody can help me out with this problem or direct me to some resources. I have re ad and attempted solutions from the wiki and ubuntu forums, not sure if this is an ubuntu only problem. [19:32] lazertek: then I got nothin' :( [19:32] The problem is that I have several websites that will not load and I cannot ping, such as papajohns.com, oprah.com, cbs4denver.com, yet other websites work with no problem. I have verified they are resolving correctly by changing dns servers several times, running my own caching name server and verifying via a domain - ip lookup. I can go to a proxy that just displays the page in a frame and it loads fine. If I try to use an external proxy from firefox [19:32] , other sites still work (slowly) and those do not. Any ideas or any more information helpful? And, my XP box is not having these issues. [19:32] atlef: yes [19:32] so nobody knows of a remote update notifier? [19:32] janej: Theres a number of methods, if you aren't going to upgrade, that can make use of a variety of resources (or not, if you dont have them, there are ways to do it without those resources) [19:32] williams: try disabling ipv6 [19:32] that's okay... i can live with this... back to work [19:33] janej: what DO you hav that's bootable besides the hard drive [19:33] oh I know [19:33] audifahrer: ok. it may metion that it works with windows. but no way it gives you the option of doing so with Linux [19:34] anyone having problems with the new flash 10 update? [19:34] *mention [19:34] janej: do you have an internal network card (not wireless) [19:34] ok, thanks, trying [19:34] * animeloe notes that comparisons to windows counterparts is useless since windows operates on faulty hardware without even know about it [19:34] Flannel: thanks for the pointer [19:34] but try cheese, or lucview [19:35] Flannel: I was going to say download the network kernel stuff and use grub to boot it [19:35] it's a one way ticket, but it'd definately work [19:35] audifahrer: but try cheese, or lucview [19:35] animeloe: I do have a bootable network card [19:35] good [19:35] your in business [19:35] download the network boot stuff [19:35] then put it in the root partition somewhere [19:35] then reboot into grub [19:36] use kernel $LOCATION OF NETWORKBOOT KERNEL [19:36] !es [19:36] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[19:36] animeloe: Its all on that page [19:36] lol [19:36] *giggle* [19:36] animeloe: remind me what the "network boot stuff" is - just the dinky iso that's on the releases page? [19:37] do you guys think cedega is worth it, if you constantly play warcraft 3, quake 3, etcetc [19:37] ubottu: since your a bot what happens if someone threatens you? Does it involve lasers? [19:37] Gr3y__: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:37] network boot means being able to install/run an OS from network without having a local copy on disk [19:37] no [19:37] pteeb: no [19:37] i am still unable to get TFT to work with wine [19:37] :'( [19:37] TFT? [19:37] frozen throne wc3 [19:38] pteeb: I would, if it worked heh. From what i've heard, Cedega is just as unstable as Wine, they're just unstable with different things. I'd personally pay for it, if it was a rock solid solution. [19:38] pteeb: tft? [19:38] Leefmc: ALL the emulated solutions aren't solid because of floating api [19:38] yeah. I have warcraft III installed, but when I launch it from wine it gives me access violations [19:38] lazertek: warcraft 3 frozen throne [19:38] pteeb: if you have a paidfor licence of Window, then use it for games. then when linux comes along convert full time [19:38] i used cedega back in the day and it was great, but lately i've been hearing that it's just a rip off [19:38] animeloe: I could be anal and say they are emulators ;P [19:39] that too [19:39] pteef: i came across a site that gave a how to on that.... hold on let me see if i can get you the link [19:39] it annoys me that there's no "linux emulators" [19:39] yet we require "windows" emulation :) [19:39] i've followed a ton of tutorials, none ot avail [19:39] why? You can install linux on just about anything [19:39] EXACTLY [19:39] animeloe: But either way, the method by which they effectively "emulate" is not a factor for them being successful or unsuccessful, its just not an easy thing to do. simply put. [19:39] cygwin is kinda what you're talking about [19:39] animeloe: andlinux is linux emulator [19:40] animeloe: sad but tru [19:40] Gr3y__: cgywin is posix unix api over windows [19:40] err:dosmem:setup_dos_mem Cannot use first megabyte for DOS address space, please report [19:40] atlef: I could try it. I know my camera works with uvcvideo and usb. I only thought firewire would work too [19:40] vista is kinda emulating linux,... poorlly [19:40] how much does cedega cost? [19:40] pteeb: stupid DOS 3.0 specifications [19:40] uhhh [19:40] pteeb: I've had better experiences with crossover than wine except its not free [19:40] animaloe: http://www.andlinux.org/ [19:40] I won't even GO there [19:40] pteeb: cedega is a good one too [19:41] animeloe, any clue how to fix it? [19:41] HAHAHA [19:41] audifahrer: even gimp has the option of importing from external sources [19:41] pteeb: That error is with a new version of wine (some of the default configs changed). Try asking in #winehq, they should be able to help you out. [19:41] pteeb: yeah, keep getting pissed at old standards [19:41] heh === fgggg is now known as gaple [19:41] thanks Flannel [19:42] djhash: uhh it looks like a honeypot environment to me [19:42] pteeb: as a side note, there is wesnoth-all in ubuntu, a strategy turn game that i like a lot, not that it has anything to do with w3 though ;) [19:42] Okay, on the live CD menu, how do you force Vesa mode? [19:42] linux kernel recompiled as a windows executable [19:42] wesnoth is deciedly pimp [19:42] animeloe: honeypot?!! [19:42] well not honeybopt [19:42] pot [19:42] Viper550: video=vesa as kernel option [19:42] pteeb: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=209319 might help with wine too [19:43] more like "virtual kernel" [19:43] Gr3y__: yeah :) [19:43] help! opengl applications are all flickering on one of my ubuntu 8.04 boxes. any ideas? [19:43] lazertek, any clue how much cedega costs? [19:43] animeloe: well.. isn't that what wine is?! not really an emulator.. kinda like a virtual kernel?! [19:43] an extension of the original kernel over kenrel [19:43] hi, why my creen turn black and hang if i open webpage with firefox?? [19:43] djhash: yes and no [19:43] wine EMULATES windows API [19:43] could anybody help me? [19:44] zeeeee: try turning off compiz [19:44] pteeb: i think its 44.95 [19:44] turn compiz?? [19:44] how to turn off? [19:44] andlinux just boots a REAL linux kernel in protected space [19:44] animeloe: hmm... would like to know more.. but its getting ot.. [19:44] hehe [19:44] pteeb: cedega seems to working well for a lot of people [19:44] i havenot installed compiz [19:44] in a nutshell it comes down to API emulation [19:44] disabling ipv6 did not help [19:44] PriceChild, is it enough to just go to preferences > appearance > visual effects > none? [19:45] williams: what ISP [19:45] no [19:45] i cannot find this option [19:45] Qwest [19:45] lazertek, any clue how much it costs? [19:45] zeeeee: yep [19:45] maybe it's biasing connections from non-windows browsers [19:45] PriceChild, wow, that did the trick.... so no desktop effects + opengl apps for me? [19:45] did you try changing the user agent of your brower [19:45] website isn't loading for me [19:45] pteeb: i think its 44.95 [19:45] it's weird, because this only happens on this one machine.... other machines can have both fine [19:45] ok, I got it [19:45] zeeeee: seems so, i'm sure there's a setting in compiz to make them play nice [19:46] damn 60 bucks! [19:46] pteeb: there's a premium price for $44.95.. not sure how you get the premium [19:46] hmmm, most sites are working, just a few that do not. Ran tarceroute yesterday and to most sites it showed from my machine to the router to teh dsl modem accross 3 hops in qwest network and then to teh site, for these it shows only this machine, but the dsl router shows the request to connect to that site [19:46] pteeb: emulating windows might be cheaper [19:47] dig shows they all resolve through my dns server, and the isps [19:47] yay we have life. KDE4 FTW [19:47] none of them ping for me either [19:47] lazertek, how would you? like a VMware type program? [19:47] virtualbox is probably best for you [19:47] what website? [19:47] maybe it's their side [19:47] or if you have quite a bit of ram, look at XEN [19:47] does google work? [19:47] I ccan't find a deb package of bonobo-activation for Ubuntu :( Any one knows how to install it to Ubuntu?

[19:48] pteeb: how much ram do you have [19:48] 2gigs [19:48] hi, I have a problem with gnome/metacity and video playback. sometimes, after a while of usage, the video plays very slowly and i have to log in and log out to make it flow right again. any solutions and explanations on this behavior? [19:48] how do i exit gnome? [19:48] uhh... logout [19:48] well [19:49] press the power button and log out? [19:49] pteeb: well there you go... i would virualize instead of cedega any day [19:49] i just wanna see the big console [19:49] ok i'll definitely give virtualbox a try [19:49] aka no gui [19:49] you can hit ctrl+alt+number to go to a terminal screen [19:49] coo [19:49] thanks [19:49] set user agent to Internet Explorer 7, no change [19:49] Google works [19:49] I mean an Function-number [19:49] been googling and trying fixed for similar problems about 8 hours yesterday [19:49] thanks lazertek , hopefully this works hah [19:49] like F2 [19:49] F7 brings you back to X [19:50] pteeb: with virtualized windows i guarantee you it will work [19:50] pteeb: if you are going to be gaming give it about 1gig ram [19:50] does vnc service still work after gui is off? [19:50] Guest76361: i believe it does [19:50] ok lazertek , downloading now. i'm running ubuntu 8.04 hardy [19:50] good [19:51] pteeb: that's what i am on too [19:51] anyone know the console command to end the gui? [19:51] I have 1 more thing to try, see if connecting directly to dsl modem solves problem, brb [19:52] lazertek, just sudo apt-get virtualbox-ose should work yeah?

Imma uninstall them to prevent conflicts [20:17] * tritium loathes the use of non-words like "imma" [20:17] ok, so plugged into the dsl modem directly all of the sites work fine. seems the problem is when i use my ubuntu machines connected to my cheap linksys gateway/router that is attached to the dsl modem, the xp machine still works ok, but the ubuntus cannot reach a few websites [20:17] could be i need to configure the router or modem a bit differently as i see the request on the routers logs, but the sites never load when going through the router. [20:17] any idea on where to look for solutions to that? [20:18] tritium: it's writing [20:18] CostaRicanQuaker: good [20:19] tritium: once it's written how do i check the cd for errors? it's an alternate cd, i already checked the hashsum of the iso [20:19] Anyone here an expert on the program cheese? :P [20:19] CostaRicanQuaker: the CD itself has a feature you can choose when you boot form it [20:19] from* [20:19] tritium, ever setup GRUB loader for VISTA on a seperate harddrive? [20:20] pteeb: I don't use windows [20:20] Hi, I want to share my printers, and so I opeed the printer config, clicked on global settings, and found that the "share printers" option is grayed out [20:20] Flannel: I'll give that a shot when i boot up [20:20] how do I fix this? [20:20] bbs [20:21] Flannel, hey are you good with video device settings? Not graphics cards, working with video1 and video2 [20:21] * kushal_12_27_200 is away: auto-away [20:21] Flannel, video0 and video1* i mean [20:21] tritium: wish me luck, brb [20:25] Is there a way to disable what you currently have as video0? or preferably swtich devices so video0 becomes video1 and video1 becomes video0? [20:25] Hi! I recently replaced the hdd in my computer that runs ubuntu hardy. I transferred the data by connecting the new disk, creating partitions then "cp -a"-ig. Then I removed the old disk, ran "grub-install" and booted the new disk. The problem is that "vol_id" gives "unknown volume type" for the swap partition and thus I can't swapon that swap partition. Any ideas? [20:26] * kushal_12_27_200 is back (gone 00:04:41) [20:26] i checked the iso file for the sums and it says it was ok, then i start the cd and when i check for errors it says it's corrupted [20:26] it says it's got a /.mt86 error [20:26] what went wrong? [20:26] WHY is it, when I start x (kde) CTRL+c+v doesnt work anymore? [20:26] abli: why don't you just reinstall? [20:26] what it the next ubuntu release after hardy? what is ubuntu 8.10? [20:26] Note that I created the partitions with a rather old parted; but still, the data partition (/dev/sda1, with ext3 fs) has an UUID, but the swap partition (/dev/sda2) doesnt [20:27] lazertek, cause I am not running windows, thats why [20:27] help [20:28] lazertek, you really find that an acceptable answer? I should be able to juggle disks all I want with out reinstalling [20:28] abli why not just recreate the swap? [20:29] nickrud, ah. good idea. I can do that [20:29] how do you put the GRUB loader menu.lst to a Vista partition on a seperate harddrive? [20:29] abli: that answer didn't make sense to me and i was just wondering why you wanted to go through all that outta curiosity [20:30] nickrud, but I would also like to understand what went wrong. For example during the process I once booted with /etc/fstab still containing the old disk's UUID numbers. Apparently everything started fine, I could log in,, but 'mount' claimed that I didn't have a '/' mounted. Quite strange. [20:30] <[TiZ]> prboom inevitably freezes up a few seconds after I start it. The only way to make it go away is to kill it from gnome system monitor. If I happen to be playing it when it happens, my mouse gets swallowed and sent to the void, and I have to Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to regain control of my system. How can I get prboom to work properly? [20:30] <[TiZ]> Also it happens regardless of whether I'm using Compiz or Metacity. [20:30] WHY is it, when I start x (kde) CTRL+c+v doesnt work anymore? [20:31] abli that would be strange, not having a / but still booting :) [20:31] blacktest23 try asking in #kubuntu , they know kde better [20:31] nickrud, I think it was because grub.conf also contained the root fs's UUID as a boot parameter. so that's why it worked. But it was wierd. [20:31] anyone familiar with pamusb? [20:32] can anyone helpme? i just downloaded the iso file for hardy, then i checked the hash sum and it was what its suposed to be, then i burnt it and when i checked for errors booting from the cd it says it was corrupted and the checksums didnt match, this has happened to me 7 times already, what's going on? my cd-rw driver works perfectly...i have tried from official sites and torrents...i ahve already ordered cds from shipit, by the time i get my c [20:32] opy of hardy i will have to fill another request for ibex [20:32] lazertek, c'mon, replacing a hdd can't be that unusual. [20:32] where do I get ffmpeg with aac support for ubunt hardy? [20:32] i cannot get it to /j #gnome [20:32] err [20:32] keith- you might need to be registered to get into that channel [20:32] !register | keith- (some are like that) [20:32] keith- (some are like that): Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. [20:32] haha no [20:33] it wasn't that [20:33] abli i thought you said you copied everything ofrom one disk on to another and it would have just been less of a hassle [20:33] i was in the middle of typing something and then decided to join #gnome [20:33] hi! i'm about to compile dvd95 and it asks for C compiler, I now there's a basic package of about 180mbs with basic development/compiler tools but can't remember it's name to apt-get it, do you know it? [20:33] CostaRicanQuaker: are you sure youre burning application isnt toasting your cdrs? [20:33] what i was going to say is "i cannot get pamusb to enable screensaver when i unplug the key" [20:33] CostaRicanQuaker the only reason I can think of is burning at too high of a speed. Happens [20:33] lazertek, you consider reinstalling to be less of a hassle than copying everything over? [20:33] <[TiZ]> I should have known better than to ask here. I get ignored every time. [20:33] what is the minimum speed? [20:34] bufferunderflow protection [20:34] CostaRicanQuaker I think right click burn 11x is slowest [20:34] abli: everytime i've done that i have ended up with more problems than just reinstalling [20:34] ajhtiredwolf: what devices are you using? tv tuner and wecam? [20:34] How can i make my server running on ubuntu 8.04 server edition accessible by hostname? [20:34] ajhtiredwolf: what devices are you using? tv tuner and webcam? [20:34] Firefox 3 is crashing a ton for me, and i was told upgrading to flash 10 can fix some of these issues, what is the correct procedure to install flash 10? [20:34] lazertek, trying to understand what went wrong in such cases is useful: next time you will have much fewer problems plus you will learn how your OS works. [20:35] Cheavera by adding the ipaddr hostname to /etc/hosts on each machine you want to access the server from. [20:35] do you need to reboot after editing sudoers to make it take effect? [20:35] ubunubi no [20:35] abli that's what i was curious about whether you were doing that so you could learn better or if you just wanted to get the job done [20:35] nickrud:: none of my changes are being honored and i'm using the syntax right off the sudoers man webpage [20:36] Hi all [20:36] it my firs visit here [20:36] legend2440, yeah [20:36] lazertek, I just wanted to get the job done. And thats much faster with cp-ing, especially if you did a bunch of costumization after install. (firewall, nfs setup, installed packages, etc.) [20:36] !hi | kosta_ [20:36] ubunubi sudoers is parsed every time you run sudo, that much I know.

[20:37] ajhtiredwolf: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4706126 [20:37] Hi, I've got a problem with VirtualBox from the repository. Both my virtual machines fail after the bootloader. The linux machine just freezes with a black screen, while the XP machine flashed a blue screen and reboots. I haven't been using them for a week or 2, so an update in this timespan must have had an impact. Anyone know what could have caused this erratic behaviour?

[20:37] I can't play videos, but I am not using compiz [20:37] abli: and it also depends if you are talking about laptops or pc's [20:37] someone can help me ?

[20:38] hi [20:38] pt | annakamilla [20:38] mgs, so if the virtual machine just reboots I would guess it is a bug somewhere. [20:39] I don't know what to do, I read all ubuntu forums but can't find the solution [20:39] how are you all? [20:39] !pt | annakamilla [20:39] annakamilla: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [20:39] nickrud mind if i message you? [20:39] pteeb better to ask here, more eyes catching silly mistakes [20:39] sounds good. vista is installed on a seperate harddisk, i know as "Local" [20:39] I want to install kde in ubuntu ..... how can I do this? at simple way [20:39] i can access it in Places [20:39] mgs, I would try creating a new virtual machine to see if that can be run. That way you could narrow down the problem a lot [20:39] abli, the system is only a week or 2 old (Fresh install), so both machines shouldn't have any snapshots or something like that, which would interfere (Nor should VB have been updated). [20:40] title Windows Vista [20:40] root (hd0,1) [20:40] maxen_: install kubuntu-desktop with synaptic [20:40] added to grub menu.lst [20:40] abli, sure, I'll give it a shot [20:40] matrox official drivers configuration [20:40] but its not pointing to the right partition [20:40] nickrud: i am burning it at 11x now [20:40] how do I find out which one to point to? [20:40] I accidentally removed the network manager from my top panel, how do I put it back? [20:40] maxen_: go to synaptic and just choose kde [20:40] Hey, listen all [20:40] nickrud: the checksum is exactly the one on the website [20:40] pteeb need to know exactly what partition it is. mount the partition, then run mount and put the output on paste.ubuntu.com [20:40] does anybody know Richard Wideman? [20:41] Question: Im on a laptop, so i often plug and unplug my inet cable. However, sometimes when i do this ubuntu just tends to hang oddly and has a hard time reconnecting. If i reboot, the connection is good but if i do not often it will take 30minutes before ubuntu wakes up and gives my connection back. How would i ipconfig release/renew? ifup and ifdown? [20:41] mavsman4457, try right-click on panel and "Add to panel" [20:41] CostaRicanQuaker that's good. I've had good luck burning at low speed [20:41] i have audigy ls, after reinstallation of hardy i can't get hardware mixing in alsa, earlier i could play multiple sound sources, now it doesn't work. any ideas to fix. [20:41] anyone know a fast way to convert idx+sub (binary) subtitles to srt?

[20:42] abli: sorry typo [20:42] because I think its already mounted [20:42] sunc: that will renew your ip address, yes [20:42] matrox official drivers configuration [20:42] abli: I don't think the network manager applet is in thhat list [20:42] sunc: hehe, you messaged yourself :) [20:42] legend2440, somethigns strange, when i did dmesg | grep video the video1 device doesnt show up, however it works and is displayed in skype [20:42] pteeb hm, then just run mount in a terminal, and put the output on paste.ubuntu.com [20:42] lazertek? [20:42] people who is from ubuntu support team? [20:42] al2008: whats your question exactly [20:42] Flannel: thanks! what a time saver [20:42] /dev/sda1 on /media/Local type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096) [20:42] thank you lazertek [20:42] nickrud: once i install hardy, if i'm able to, by just typing, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop and the same with xubuntu desktop i will get the latest versions of kde and xfce, right? [20:42] thats my windows partition [20:43] maxen_: no prob [20:43] Leefmc: yeah, oops... :\ anyway, the answer was meant for you.

[20:43] ok thanks nickrud , i'll give it a shot [20:43] pteeb assuming you gave me the right partition above, mind you ;) [20:43] abli: ummm, if it's not installed by default then no [20:43] thats straight from the terminal, so lets pray hah [20:43] mavsman4457, you are talking about the applet used to select wifi networks, right? [20:44] CostaRicanQuaker lastest as provided by Ubuntu, yes. 3.something for kde, not sure about xfce [20:44] lazertek: i configured official driver as described in readme.txt official instructions but dual monitor doesn't work and matrox config results in this error: parse error on line 65: too many horizontal sync. After this configuration wizard stopped [20:44] mavsman4457, you said you "removed it from the top panel", does that mean you right-clicked and selected "remove from panel"?

[20:44] abli: ya I thought it would be really easy to add back but the " network manager" [20:44] abli: yes I removed it manually [20:44] dual monitors isn't completely functional as far as i know on ubuntu... there are workaround however... [20:45] mavsman4457, then it should be in the "add to panel" list [20:45] abli: there is a network manager in the list when I click add to panel but it's not the right one [20:45] i have audigy ls, after reinstallation of hardy i can't get hardware mixing in alsa, earlier i could play multiple sound sources, now it doesn't work. any ideas to fix. it uses snd-cao106. [20:45] abli: it's different and doesn't function the same way [20:45] mavsman4457 add the notification area to the panel [20:45] mavsman4457, the applet that shows network activity in a nice graph is _not_ the network manager applet. you are not talking about that, right? [20:45] al2008: sorry haven't played too much with that yet... someone else might be able to help [20:45] ok thanks! [20:45] nickrud: what if this one gives me a corrupted error again? [20:46] when will the ultimate operating system emerge? [20:46] burn slower? 4x? [20:46] someone have matrox parhelia with dual monitor configured ? [20:46] nickrud: I did and it didn't do much [20:46] CostaRicanQuaker then something is wrong with the burner, most likely. And I'd suggest a slower burn speed, yes [20:46] idefix_: it already had [20:46] *has [20:46] someone have matrox parhelia with dual monitor configured ?

[20:51] have problem with playing video on my HP 6720s [20:51] sunc: "head vmware-install.pl" [20:51] legend2440, or at least i think it is, it says logitech, Inc. but it could be another logitech device [20:51] Xpistos: yes [20:51] perhaps xf86-input-evdev, didnt search for that [20:51] Hmm seems i already have it perhaps? [20:51] pteeb please don't paste here, but that looks right to me. If it says something about ntldr, I'd assume you're reaching the vista partition but something's wrong.

[22:26] but XP is much faster in launching programs [22:27] ok [22:27] does anyone here know how to, in Ubuntu Hardy, burn a data DVD only readable in GNU/Linux? [22:27] does anyone know how to get software raid-1 going during hardy install? [22:27] i'm installing ubuntu on an old laptop on a CD [22:27] Hi, i was wondering...i installed ubuntu on my laptop today and it won't allow me to change my screen and graphics card driver and my resolution won't go higher than 800X600, does any one have any suggestions? [22:27] i can't seem to get S-Video to work in 8.04 (ATI) [22:27] but Xp on my old computer (i don't have XP on my actual computer) was very unstable :P [22:27] !resolution | JoshParker [22:27] JoshParker: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[22:28] huh? [22:28] Can I get a list of all the Ubuntu channels on FreeNode? [22:28] yeah [22:28] !resolution | Guest67077 [22:28] Guest67077: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[22:29] 8.04, sorry. [22:29] 8.04 works fine for me [22:29] hi [22:29] anyone know of a virtual desktop emulator that supports 3d acceleration? [22:29] DigitalNinja: your irc client shoudl be able to list channels [22:29] ruMel: How is 8.04 unstable? It works fine for me. [22:29] ruMeL: what is unstable about 8.04.1? [22:29] ruMeL, alpha 1 or the new alpha 2 [22:29] jbroome: It does. How do I list only the Ubuntu channels? [22:30] so guys you all agree with me that XP is faster than ubunut??? [22:30] !ot > rockyrock [22:30] rockyrock: negative [22:30] rockyrock, please see my private message [22:30] That probably means you are using anti-GNU/Linux hardware or just plain crap hardware. I just ordered a machine from system76--they sell Ubuntu already on the machine. [22:30] i have a big problem, some how my filesystem is mixed up, a week ago, i changed a lot of stuff, reorganising the directories and such, now all of a sudden, the harddrive directory listing gives the stuff before my reorganizing, which means, i lost all my data from a week ago [22:30] DigitalNinja: dunno, i have no idea what client you're using [22:30] im using the ext3 [22:30] ruMeL: so can you please tell me what's unstable about ubuntu, maybe we can see what the problem is and fix it [22:30] jbroome: xchat [22:30] the_darkside_986, lol, anti-linux doesn't exist [22:30] i know that drivers for ATI grapcis cards for Linux are'nt good, but will i have problems with using Compiz-Fusion on Radeon HD3870? :D [22:30] Wait [22:31] crap hardware lol [22:31] any idea why i'm seeing my entire filesystem from last week, and not from yesterday [22:31] hi, need some help with mencoder, anyone ? [22:31] lots of crap hardware out these days. [22:31] *I was referring to hardware whose vendors intentionally ignore or disregard Linux compatibility. [22:31] i have a ram problem === chaky_ is now known as chaky [22:31] I try to speak a loose english :x [22:31] i have 512 mb and it only says i have 392 [22:31] kendey: You will get 2D support for that. It will take some working getting 3D working. If it's even possible. [22:31] zamadatix: do you have a shared memory video card? [22:31] Is it possible to use Gnome's data cd creator to write a CD with a filesystem only usable by Linux? [22:31] Hum, i fix the most of my troubles, like firefox, avi, music players, kernel .. [22:32] how do i find that out...? [22:32] zamadatix: do you have a integrated graphic card? [22:32] zamadatix: find out what graphics card you have and look up the specs [22:32] Are there any GUI key loggers for Linux admins? [22:32] But Gutsy seemed to be more .. hospitable. [22:32] Since when did ubuntu start playing mp3's on mouse rollover? :) and what app is doing it? [22:32] kendey im in windows becauise ubuntu runs out of ram so how would i figure that out? [22:33] I saw a thread in the forums about mpg321 being able to do it, but it is not installed on my box [22:33] the_darkside_986, most of the gnome tools are rather 'idiot-friendly' and may not allow such weird things. :) you could make a ext2 filesystem in a file, and mount/write/change it.. then write that file as data to a cd.. [22:33] windows is saying that i have 512 if it matters [22:33] PorkSoda, it always did that if you had mpg321 installed -- they talked about porting that to use gstreamer directly. If they've done that, nautilus itself is now playing it [22:33] ruMeL: again, please specify your problems, saying things aren't good doesn't say anything [22:33] I like it, but it scared the hell out of me, as I had the speakers turned way up hehe [22:33] Morrowyn, what folders did you move? [22:33] PorkSoda: Once you add multimedia support and / mp3 support you can have mouse over mp3 play back. [22:33] DigitalNinja: window > channel list [22:33] zamadatix: sorry, i don't know you should do :F [22:33] hmm [22:33] dr_Willis: thanks [22:33] i thought ubuntu could run on little ram anyway? [22:34] 392 is ok considering i can play game son windows xp [22:34] how i can istall a package [22:34] Hello. I am using Ubuntu 7.10 and used the software updater to install some updates, and now it is not performing very well, and some programs have gotten extremely slow, can I reverse the update process? [22:34] zamadatix, depends on what you want to do with it [22:34] but it sees 512 [22:34] well ok then does Ubuntu have an open source GUI program for encrypting file archives with a password? [22:34] cool, Seveas - DigitalNinja, thanks [22:34] jbroome: Thanks! There's a search option. [22:34] yes, i know [22:34] nvm windows sees 324 [22:34] the_darkside_986: check out truecrypt [22:34] the_darkside_986, there's truecrypt [22:35] jbroome, :) [22:35] how do i set up a swap partition after install? [22:35] ok thanks [22:35] Seveas: too slow! :) [22:35] zamadatix, use gparted to resize and create partitions [22:35] td123, i fix most of my problems, i said. [22:35] fixed * [22:35] jbroome: I forgot about truecrypt. I think it has an option to encrypt a CD [22:35] jbroome, i haven't had much practice lately ;) [22:35] seves: is there anyw ay i can open ubuntu without using all my ram and crashing? [22:35] jsut to partition [22:36] Seveas that's easily remedied ;) [22:36] anyone here do linux administion as a job? [22:36] nickrud, put down the hammer! [22:36] Seveas: welcome back [22:36] !k01#> [22:36] sherl0ck, #ubuntu-offtopic please, this is a support channel [22:36] does anyone kno of a good partitioner for windows? [22:36] zamadatix, partition magic [22:36] zamadatix: i use the gparted live cd for that [22:37] theres a live cd? [22:37] I thiink that Paragon Partition Manager is better than Partition Magic [22:37] cool ill get that [22:37] does anyone how ext3 shows my old data instead my new data? [22:37] jbroome, gparted can't resize and change ntfs partitions on the fly [22:37] Morrowyn, you've stepped into a time machine? [22:37] after i partition how do i set up ubuntu to use it as swapfile? [22:37] Hello. I am using Ubuntu 7.10 and used the software updater to install some updates, and now it is not performing very well, and some programs have gotten extremely slow, can I reverse the update process? [22:38] WalloO, it can't? Ubuntu livecd can, so I'm pretty sure gparted can too [22:38] WalloO: that's why you use a live cd. [22:38] does eneone now how i can install anyone package in my pc [22:38] zamadatix, with the mkswap and swapon commands. I don't know of a gui to do that [22:38] i just rebooted and got my entire old filesystem structure back (deleted/removed files and directories, newly added files and directories are gone) [22:38] jorge_: i don't see the anyone package in the repos [22:38] Morrowyn, did you reboot the livecd or an installed system? [22:39] installed system, running for ages [22:39] ext3 fs [22:39] can i put my ubuntu swap file on my other hard disk with windwos on it without bad side effects? [22:39] a week ago a rearranged the entire drive [22:39] Seveas, I'm surprise since gparted from ubuntu can't (I just checked) [22:39] i take a package from a cd how i can install it [22:39] ubottu poke lordnoid [22:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about poke lordnoid [22:39] and now all changed are reverted as if ive never made any [22:39] zamadatix: ubuntu doesn't use a swap file, it uses a swap partition [22:39] WalloO, well, then using the ubuntu livecd to partition is an option ;) [22:40] which means, i lost a lot of data [22:40] jorge_: sudo dpkg -i pkgname.deb [22:40] jbroome, I don't understand what is the difference right now between using the same software from ubuntu and liveCD [22:40] sunc, it can use swapfiles too :) [22:40] in anycase, this will be a serious deal break on linux [22:40] breaker^ [22:40] Seveas, creating partition is ok, but resizing without loosing data is another thing [22:40] WalloO, the ubuntu installer on the ubuntu livecd uses partman+ntfsresize, not gparted [22:40] WalloO, ntfsresize does that [22:40] could i put a swapfiel on my ntfs system? [22:40] Morrowyn: what did you do? [22:40] Seveas, ok... good news for me... :) [22:41] or would it be better to use the partitioned backup space thats fat32? [22:41] i only installed an extra raid1 array [22:41] rebooted [22:41] and if and .tar.gz [22:41] I don't have an interface listed in /etc/network/interfaces and it still comes up DHCP on boot... how come? [22:41] Morrowyn, what folders did you rearrange [22:41] my entire homedirectory [22:41] herrmess, networkmanager does that for you [22:41] my ftp server [22:41] my webserver [22:41] my subversion [22:41] server [22:41] my database [22:41] Is there any risk of screwing up my computer if I want to change completely from Kubuntu to Ubuntu? How do I do that and remove KDE without deleting important files? [22:42] all was on that disk [22:42] Morrowyn: restore your backup [22:42] Morrowyn, ah... you've been messing with raid. Forgetting to mention such small details makes things look more mysterious... [22:42] Thanks Seveas. [22:42] and if and .tar.gz how i van install it [22:42] well what has a new raid1 (with two new drives) got to do with an existing harddrive [22:42] can i put the ubuntu swap partition on a logicaldrive under ubntu? [22:42] Morrowyn, my guess is that you did Something Wrong(tm) wrt mirroring [22:42] So I don't need to edit interfaces file? [22:43] zamadatix, yes [22:43] herrmess, no [22:43] which isnt even in raid1 array [22:43] herrmess, you only need to do that for things networm-manager can't do (which is very little these days) [22:43] brb [22:43] seveas: how do i tell ubuntu to use the new partition as a swap partition? [22:43] zamadatix, with the mkswap and swapon commands. I don't know of a gui to do that, but there are manpages :) [22:44] manpages? [22:44] Is there any risk of screwing up my computer if I want to change completely from Kubuntu to Ubuntu? How do I do that and remove KDE without deleting important files? I have a lot of things already configured (wine 1.1.1, Firefox 3, aMSN, Pidgin, and so on) and I'd rather not lose that configuration- especially with my xorg.conf file, which took forever to get right. [22:44] I have Ubuntu 7.10 and want to upgrade to 8.0.4, but 7.10 is having problems, should I do a clean install or just click upgrade in the update manager? [22:44] zamadatix, in the terminal, run this command: man mkswap [22:44] and if end .tar.gz how i van install it [22:44] that gives you documentation about the mkswap command [22:44] dunas, you have warcraft 3 working with WINE by any chance? [22:44] jorge_, you find a real package :) [22:44] why isn't there a truecrypt package in the repos? it says it has no installation candidate? [22:44] Nutzebahn: I recommend a clean install of 8.04.1 if you have the bandwidth available to download the cd [22:44] seveas: thank you ill try that. [22:44] why [22:44] pteeb: No, sorry. Red Alert 2, though. [22:45] ah [22:45] whoah, fluxbuntu is purty [22:45] dunas, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. Then delete kde-like things with applications -> add/remove [22:45] .160. [22:45] Every once an a while my sounds will stop working, shortly after, my windows typically freeze up. Sometimes, a sound will get stuck on and keep repeating over and over until the computer is actually shut down, meaning it will even keep repeating when the computer is at the login screen. Any ideas? [22:45] dunas, try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [22:45] it s not a package [22:45] ? [22:45] hi whats the easiest way to play dvd films on my ubuntu 8.04 plz send me some link [22:46] K_Holtz, that's pulseaudio breaking. You can pray that it won't happen or that developers fix it [22:46] kira, sudo apt-get install vlc [22:46] kira, you might need libdvdcss2 [22:46] i have but this shit does not work [22:46] !dvd | kira [22:46] kira: 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 [22:46] also but does not work [22:46] Seveas, isor: Will it cause any problems with my xorg.conf, or GRUB, or things like that? [22:46] my swap is not working, does not show in cat /proc/swaps, is in /etc/fstab exactly as my laptop is, any ideas? [22:46] dunas, not is you do what I said :) [22:46] Does anybody know of any good mail-format importer? I need to import nearly all types of mailboxes to a single mail program. [22:46] Seveas: so theres no fix? i never had this issue on this computer before, but had it on another. [22:46] Morrowyn, the folders you moved you move to a diff hd or same hd but diff partition [22:46] When I try to delete anything from from the NTFS harddrive partition, I reviece a msg "File(s) cannot be moved to the trash" and Skip, Delete, Delete All, Permanently are the options. [22:47] same drives [22:47] dunas, shouldn't [22:47] i just got my entire filesystem from a week ago [22:47] Is it normal or something wend wrong as I edited fstab for automounting [22:47] K_Holtz, pulseaudio is new in hardy. I hate it since it breaks all the time for me. You could try disabling it in systems -> sound by setting all outputs to alsa [22:47] i did the rearraing last week [22:47] worked on it the entire week with some rebooting === SlashingMoon is now known as Slash [22:47] no problems [22:47] Seveas: will it make any difference to how i hear sounds or anything? [22:48] i added a new raid1 to the system and i reboot and voila, got my filesystem from last week back [22:48] isor, Seveas: Thanks. I just remember I had Ubuntu 8.04, tried installing KDE4 and Kubuntu-desktop (I think I used that same method), and it killed off Ubuntu's panels. [22:48] K_Holtz, "depends" :) [22:48] Seveas: haha, ok thanks [22:48] and i never touched the other drives with setting up shop [22:48] When I try to delete anything from from the NTFS harddrive partition, I reviece a msg "File(s) cannot be moved to the trash" and Skip, Delete, Delete All, Permanently are the options. Is is normal or had I messed anything because I edited fstab for automounting?????? [22:48] !repeat | kushalsejwal [22:48] kushalsejwal: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [22:49] thanks a lot [22:49] Morrowyn: well maybe if you described in very great detail what you did, maybe we can help you more [22:49] cu [22:49] ubottu : okay sir [22:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about okay sir [22:49] !patience | kushalsejwal [22:49] kushalsejwal: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [22:49] Morrowyn, and now those folders are cempletely gone??? [22:49] I understud it regret my inpatient attitute [22:50] kushalsejwal, could you pastebin your /etc/fstab ? [22:50] <_marx_> anybody having any luck w/rt2500 wireless cards [22:50] okay [22:50] I'm installing ubuntu from a CD on an old HP laptop. I get past the part where it looks at your hardware, then the screen goes 100% black and keeps saying "Killed" [22:50] ideas? [22:51] hello, how do I run 2 X sessions at the same time ex. Gnome on tty7 and e17 on tty8 ... [22:51] Hello. I am using Ubuntu 7.10 and used the software updater to install some updates, and now it is not performing very well, and some programs have gotten extremely slow, can I reverse the update process? [22:51] Genesis^, either not enough memory or unsupported hardware. Can you give some details (cpu, amount of mem. video card?) [22:51] or fix the problems [22:51] ok, i have a sata raid1 array, my homedir. Last week i renamed/moved/deleted ( shift delete from windows, since i have it as a samba share) moved dirs to other physical drives as well. Today I installed a new raid1 array with ide drives. mkfs.ext3 it and mounted it. Did a reboot. Did some checking. And came to the conclusion I'm looking at my homedir from before the re-arrange i did last week. [22:52] What's the best way for me to drag and drop files from a samba share to a directory on my linux box that is root controlled ? [22:52] yeah, i'm not exaclty sure on the specs (just got the laptop last night from a family member) === Kopfgeldjaeger is now known as blub [22:52] but i know it sucks ;p [22:52] Hey, i installed AWN according to this tutorial, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=762363 ... but i don't have any applets! where are my applets? :( [22:52] it has windows 98 installed currently [22:52] the sata raid is on a xfx sata raid controller using the UUID in fstab. and the ide raid is on a promise tx2000 controller and using the dmraid to get loaded [22:52] and ubuntu sets it on "Low Memory Mode" [22:52] or something of the sort [22:52] hey. in nautilus right now.. i'm moving files with a speed of 1,8mb/s.... does anyone know if this LOW speed is a known bug..? (yes, tried to search) [22:52] kkathman, make the directory controlled by you temporarily. Then drag/drop and change it back to root [22:52] anyone successfully get WINE to run with WARCRAFT 3? === blub is now known as Kopfgeldjaeger [22:52] seveas : http://paste.ubuntu.com/26948/ [22:53] Genesis^, then my bet is on low memory :) [22:53] Seveas, ahh.. hmm ok.. a bit drastic but should work..thanks [22:53] a while ago, i was directed to a link that helped me set a bunch of different FF settings. anyone have a link to this? it was on some type of 'getting started with ubuntu' site [22:53] Seveas: well.. any ideas on how to make it work? ;p [22:53] how do you install americas army under linux without wine the actual client? [22:53] kushalsejwal, the 'ntfs' filesystem is readonly. To be able to write (delting is writing), you need the 'ntfs-3g' filesystem instead [22:54] Genesis^, use an alternate cd or a smaller distro (I doubt ubuntu will ever run happily on it) [22:54] now how is it possible to get a filesystem image from a week back even with deleted files (whch i did with a shift-delete under windows) [22:54] Seveas : I can easily write anything I even edited a file. [22:54] heh, thanks [22:54] :) [22:54] Americas army sucks on wine [22:55] Neo_The_User: There's an AA Linux client? [22:55] yeah version 2.5 [22:55] its old [22:55] Morrowyn: Post something on the forums and maybe you'll have better luck there, don't give up if the files are meaningful to you [22:56] hmmmm [22:56] this sucks [22:56] http://aaotracker.com/downloaddb.php?file=123 can anybody get this working? [22:56] Morrowyn, are you uing nautilus to find those files [22:56] no [22:56] im a terminal user [22:56] I tried to install the ATI accelerated graphics driver, but when I rebooted I was greeted by nothing but a black screen. Anyone know why this could be? [22:57] using mc when i feel lazy with the tab completion [22:57] Are there any GUI key loggers for Linux admins? [22:57] Seveas another question, that's a bit baffling, when I do copy from a samba share to linux, for some reason, it will copy all files except .sql files and .zip files. Is there a reason for the exclusion? It always reports that it cant read them, but we know this isnt true. [22:57] TehMarz go to the ATi website intall latest drivers [22:57] Morrowyn, did you set yourself as root [22:57] kkathman, maybe a permissions issue? [22:57] just sudo-ing as normal [22:58] Neo_The_User: Is the driver suggested by Ubuntu not updated, then? [22:58] on the httpd.conf, smb.conf [22:58] proftpd.conf [22:58] nothing more [22:58] apart from the mount and mkfs [22:58] Seveas, hmm on the windows box? Dont think so, there's no specific explicit permission set there [22:58] TehMarz trust me. envy sucks with video stuff for ATi [22:58] Morrowyn, ttry sudo -i then try cding to the folder you made?? [22:58] the speakers in my laptop are not functional when playing multimedia, but for the earphones. [22:58] and the accelerated driver without envy is up to date [22:58] but except the earphones I mean [22:58] but you dont have the driver. just the accelerator [22:58] man, im in nixland since redhat 5.2 and this is my first true annoyance i have [22:59] Neo_The_User: Would the latest driver allow dual monitors? [22:59] TehMarz are you using linux 32bit or 64 bit? [22:59] yes [22:59] Neo_The_User: 32 bit. [22:59] 1 sec [22:59] what card? [23:00] Neo_The_User: Let me check...

(I don't have compiz enabled) [23:02] im looking at a directory called ftp, which i totally rm'd from the drive [23:02] Neo_The_User: Thanks. =) [23:02] last week === fReAkY[t] is now known as freaky[t] [23:02] Morrowyn, sorry for dumb q'S [23:03] How do I uninstall Kubuntu once Ubuntu's installed? [23:03] s'ok [23:03] dunas fresh install, use eniter disk [23:03] I've installed libopenal, but sound in UT2K4 refuses to work. Any ideas? [23:03] dunas: I think sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop will do the trick. [23:03] Morrowyn: have you ever rebooted during the time you changed your layout and the time you started to notice the layout was back to the original (have you ever did a dirty shutdown during this time?) [23:03] dunas: or rather, sudo aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop (aptitude seems to be better at removal) [23:03] yup [23:04] kdorf: Can you get your mouse to not fly out of the window or hit an invisible wall in fullscreen? [23:04] Morrowyn: did you reboot and see the same structure? [23:04] Morrowyn, could it somehow be hidden [23:04] nope, unless halt -p is a dirty shutdown [23:04] yeah i sure hope so [23:04] i need my data back [23:04] dunas: I actually haven't tried much yet. I'm starting my UT fullscreen in another X server. [23:04] otherwise im leaving nixland, if i cant trust a filesystem to be stable [23:04] dunas: I'll check it out [23:05] the day that im saying this, man [23:05] kdorf: I hope it works for you. I've had problems with the mouse not liking to stay in the boundaries of the window and with an invisible wall placed on my mouse movement in fullscreen. [23:05] Now off to restart into Ubuntu proper. === xxxxxx is now known as Guest71668 [23:05] Morrowyn: what fs type are you using ext3? [23:05] ext3 [23:05] Has anyone had any problems with the recent flash update to Hardy? [23:05] how do I restart Samba service in Ubuntu? [23:05] Morrowyn, ext3 is a lot more stable than ntfs [23:05] I have a VERY generic xorg.conf ("Default everything"), how can I tell with video driver I am using? [23:05] sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [23:06] i'm noticing that [23:06] The recent update is making Firefox slow, and sluggish, and makes a lot of content error [23:06] dunas: Yeah, my mouse seems to work fine. Just no sound at all [23:06] Morrowyn, Thanks [23:06] np [23:06] Anyone? [23:07] Morrowyn: try http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-security/13416-ext3-filesystem-can-undelete-work.html [23:07] Hello. I am using Ubuntu 7.10 and used the software updater to install some updates, and now it is not performing very well, and some programs have gotten extremely slow, can I reverse the update process or do something to fix this? [23:07] dunas: If you set up UT to be a different resolution than your desktop, I'd try a new X server. [23:08] anyone knows how I can make sure I can remove these modules: auth_rpcgss binfmt_misc exportfs lockd nfs_acl nfsd sunrpc wlan_wep [23:08] is there any smaller version of the ubuntu iso [23:08] i got a 650mb disk but the iso is like 694.. [23:08] xxschwartzxx, no [23:09] danm [23:09] xxschwartzxx: don't delete that image just yet though [23:09] yeh im about to go buy some cds [23:09] not only for this but for toher things i may need them for [23:09] other* [23:09] xxschwartzxx: use torrent to patch up that file and it'll be the same thing [23:09] Has anyone had any problems with the Flash 10 update released in the main repositories. It seems to be making flash content slow on my system, or otherwise non-responsive.... [23:09] wait to what? [23:10] awit do what*. ... i suck at typing to day [23:10] td123:what can i do with it exactly? with the torrent thing? [23:10] hello, how do I run 2 X sessions at the same time ex. Gnome on tty7 and e17 on tty8 ... [23:11] anyone have experience with putting linux on a PSP or know a better channel to discuss this? [23:11] Checking Adobe's web site, it doesn't even state that Flash 10 was release for Linux. Only 9 [23:11] td123:what can i do with it exactly? with the torrent thing? [23:11] jordo2323, there's a beta version [23:11] i think the drive took the last "stable" journal and used that, my last email on my system dates from june 20th [23:12] jordo2323, and that was afaik only released in the backports [23:12] so i guess i'm looking at that image of the filesystems journal [23:12] xxschwartzxx: find the torrent file that matches your iso, put broken iso into directory where torrent will dl the torrent, prog should automatically fetch the parts of the file that are wrong and you won't have to do a 700mb download again [23:12] Seveas: What's the easiest way to get back to nine? Remove backports and update? [23:12] my iso isnt broken is it? [23:13] could someone help me install and get java working? [23:13] xxschwartzxx: didn't you just say its 650mb yet none of the isos are that size? [23:13] jordo2323, remove backports, remove flash, install flash [23:13] i said the cd was 650 mb and the iso was like 694 therefore my cd was not big enough [23:13] yup, all my files are from june 20th and older [23:13] xxschwartzxx: omg [23:13] Seveas: will try now....thanks [23:13] what td? [23:13] Seveas: Did you install 10 from backports? [23:14] jordo2323, I don't use crack :) [23:14] hi [23:14] whenever I boot up the wireless asks for keychain password, how do I get around this? [23:14] Seveas: LOL! [23:14] can I make it not do that? [23:14] Buckland7777, install the sun-java-6 package with applications -> add/remove [23:14] xxschwartzxx: sry, i misread, I have to skim the posts because this channel moves quickly :) [23:14] Eng-Blang, set the keychain password to your login password and it will unlock when you log in [23:14] which makes it even worse, lost a month of data [23:14] oh thats kool === Double_D is now known as SergeantPony2 [23:14] when I tried that, firefox still doesn't recognise it [23:14] so yeah mi just gunna go buy some cds... [23:14] Seveas, they are the same [23:15] xxschwartzxx: gl then :P [23:15] Seveas, actually I think it might be asking for my WEP key [23:15] Eng-Blang, strange -- did you perhaps remove the libpadm-keychain package? [23:15] td123: it says on the guide im reading to diconnect my internal hd during installation to my external, how do i disconnect and internal hd? The only thing i have done is replaced my RAM.. [23:15] Morrowyn: have you tried to undelete the files you lost [23:15] Eng-Blang, ah [23:15] i'll try it again, if the problem still occurs, i'll be back [23:15] Is there a way I can have it save the WEP key? [23:15] Seveas: I don't think I have backports enabled....I don't know how the updater pulled this down, can I pastebin my sources.list? [23:15] Eng-Blang, tell network-manager to save it [23:16] jordo2323, sure [23:16] ok, thanks [23:16] Seveas: will be a second.....FIREFOX slow... [23:16] xxschwartzxx: what? If you just installed more ram to your computer, then you should do nothing like that, it should work when you power your computer on again... [23:16] jordo2323, apt-get install konqueror? :) [23:17] td123, cant remember to undelete stuff, my entire filesystem dates from june 20th, so i reckon, my current file journal is busted and i switched back to the last "good" one, which was june20th somehow [23:17] td123: no im just wondering how do you disconnect and internal hd [23:17] I need your help for wireless connection [23:17] for when i install ubuntu to my external i dont want it replacing files [23:17] Seveas: I was a KDE freak.....and KONQ is my favorite....but I have feelings using KDE libs on a strict gnome system....

[23:26] no [23:26] Neo_The_User: I've spent hours and hours trying, and no one has any clue. heh [23:26] i don't know that much [23:26] clue on what [23:26] This is the only side of linux that just feels impossible heh [23:26] the_darkside_986, edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/cvs.prerm as root, comment out the lines that call install-info [23:26] does anybody know how to turn off the print screen button on the keyboard? [23:26] then try again [23:26] deathdellic: How to map a modifier onto a mouse button [23:27] Seveas can you tell something with my problem? [23:27] when i want to hit backspace i bump into print screen, have to wait 5 mins for the window to come up then hit close all the time [23:27] Neo_The_User, simply unmap the keybinding to the printscreen action? [23:27] simply? [23:27] system -> prefs -> keyboard shortcuts [23:27] as in add a fuction to the mouse button Leefmc [23:27] thx [23:27] deathdellic: Sure [23:27] deathdellic: Make button 8, when pressed, work as the shift key. [23:28] Seveas i luv u [23:28] deathdellic: I've had 500 possible solutions but none work. [23:28] Neo_The_User, my bankaccount is 1234-5678-90 ;) [23:28] Seveas, look at private chat and please answer me , I am new at Linux , I searched but i cant find .. [23:28] Hello [23:28] if i wanted to increase the size of my virt hd how would i do it, using vbox? [23:28] deathdellic: Basically every remapping tool i've found doesn't remap properly, they emulate. When you press button 8 for example, they would call "shift press, shift release" and this is obviously useless to a modifier key. [23:29] deathdellic: No idea i assume? [23:29] #python [23:29] s3a, try /join [23:30] you know how can i open - install the .sh files ? i searched but ahmod +x and all that do nothing .. ( http://download.netbeans.org/netbeans/6.1/final/ ) [23:30] itits a xorg config thing Leefmc i had the issue a few years ago [23:30] its a not so simple easy fix usually [23:30] deathdellic: Well hold on, button 8 works for me, i need to remap it. [23:31] deathdellic: Its not a matter of making it work, mine does, i need to remap it to a different button. [23:31] deathdellic: The same goes for my mmb, since i dont have one. heh [23:31] you know how can i open - install the .sh files ? i searched but ahmod +x and all that do nothing .. ( http://download.netbeans.org/netbeans/6.1/final/ [23:31] makis look at the info here on how to install netbeans https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Netbeans [23:32] yes [23:32] i see [23:32] is there a room where only amd64 topics are discussed? [23:32] it tells that exatly : For Solaris and Linux platforms, the installer file has the .sh extension. For these platforms, you need to make the installer files executable by using the following command: [23:32] chmod +x ./ [23:32] i did that and nothing.. [23:32] enos: amd64 topics are usually the same for i386 unless its specific to that processor [23:33] y cant i join to other channels using xchat-gnome?? [23:33] enos: no [23:33] td123: thanks [23:33] tomtom42 , that exatly says.. but i cant make it [23:33] Ok, so I've swapped over to Ubuntu. [23:33] s3a, maybe you're banned from the channel you try to join? Try /join #ubuntu-meeting [23:33] Is there some easy way to remove Kubuntu's applications, and then add in some more of the default Ubuntu ones? [23:34] Seveas: no for several channels it doesnt work [23:34] did you run the chmod command as super user? [23:34] Seveas: and im not rude or anything [23:34] dunas, if you installed the #ubuntu-desktop package you have all the default ubuntu packages [23:34] s3a: maybe they dead channels :) [23:34] s3a, have you tried #ubuntu-meeting? [23:34] Seveas: Cool. Less than I thought. [23:34] How do you start a service from terminal and make it go to the background? like pulseaudio.. [23:35] Seveas: #python doesn't work [23:35] Scunizi: "service_name &" [23:35] yes tomtom [23:35] Scunizi, when starting it, add a & at the end. (eg: pulseaudio &) [23:35] Seveas: Is there an easy way to remove applications the Add/remove manager won't? [23:35] Scunizi, if it's already running, hit ctrl+z and run the bg command [23:35] td123 Seveas thanks.. [23:36] i cant hear anything on firefox [23:36] s3a, #python has a limit to the amount of users that can be in that channel. It's probably full [23:36] dunas: synaptic package manager, System->Administration->Synaptic [23:36] dunas: use synaptic. its another GUI for APT [23:36] i downloaded adobe flash player but still nothing [23:36] ah [23:36] i know to resovle it :p [23:36] td123: Seveas when I do that I still don't get the terminal prompt afterwards.. what am I doing wrong? [23:36] the adobe flash [23:36] i can help you [23:36] ok [23:36] how [23:36] make private chat [23:36] dunas, I very much like debfoster for cleaning up [23:36] !enter | makis [23:36] makis: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:37] I am very confused. I have mounted the ubuntu iso loopback, but cannot find a kernel image in it. Can someone tell me where it is, or have I got the wrong file [23:37] Also, I have a file called wubi.exe in the root directory of the iso. Why is this? [23:37] Seveas: Uh? JoshuaRL: I can safely remove Adept packages, right? [23:37] !debfoster [23:37] debfoster is a command to weed unnecessary .deb packages. See http://www.fruit.eu.org/debfoster/ [23:37] td123: Seveas Ah.. I see.. just close the terminal and it will remain running.. right? [23:38] dunas, adept is the KDE package installer. If you don't intend to use it anymore, it can be removed [23:38] Scunizi: well, wait a second, what exactly are you typing? [23:38] td123: pulseaudio & [23:38] as soon as grub tries to load, the machine restarts. grub in MBR. any way to fix? [23:38] speckal, reinstall grub? [23:38] Seveas: omg :'( so wat r my alternatives? [23:38] Seveas: whats the difference between using debfoster or just using command apt-get autoremove/autoclean the same goes for aptitude purge [23:38] td123: I have to kill pulseaudio to get sound in Alien Arena [23:38] Scunizi: and it still doesn't give you a prompt? [23:38] s3a, #python2 or ##python [23:38] td123: correct [23:39] Scunizi: wierd, I typed in "pulseaudio &" and it works (gives me prompt) [23:39] dunas: please explain a little more what youre wanting [23:39] Seveas: python2 worked! [23:39] Baby_Shambl3s, apt-get autoremove doesn't remove packages you installed explicitely. With debfoster you choose per package. [23:39] Seveas: actually [23:39] Scunizi: are you using alsa instead of pulseaudio? [23:39] Seveas: im the only person in the channel :( [23:39] td123: it gives me some errors about my sound card then after hitting enter I get a prompt.. [23:40] s3a, heh, then maybe my knowledge of the #python channels is outdated :) Try ##python though [23:40] Seveas: the second one has 6 users so i guess ill stay there [23:40] td123: you mean on the game? [23:40] Scunizi: ... yes, those errors might help. Try searching online for fixes to the errors you are getting [23:40] Seveas: ya the second one worked [23:40] Seveas: thxz [23:40] thx* [23:40] I need some help with mounting a disk at startup [23:41] td123: been there done that.. most everything works except my mic.. worked in Gusty, Dapper etc.. but not Hardy.. drives me nuts.. [23:41] Scunizi: forget about alsa, the problem is pulseaudio is having errors pop up [23:41] td123: and the mic is a standard type not USB [23:41] makis: check and see if this file exists /usr/local/netbeans-6.1beta/bin/netbeans [23:41] Seveas: yeha was just reading the webpage hmmm might use it to clean the mono dependencies [23:42] anyone knows about cairo-dock?

[23:48] but nothing [23:48] to run and for instaling [23:48] makis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[23:50] i told you is programme for Java Developers [23:50] i tryed that : For Solaris and Linux platforms, the installer file has the .sh extension. For these platforms, you need to make the installer files executable by using the following command: [23:50] chmod +x ./ [23:50] what about sudo apt-get install netbeans? :) [23:50] suselin, he made it an executable [23:50] chmod +x ./netbeans.sh [23:50] makis can you not use netbeans 5.5 from ubuntu main repo? [23:50] i use the 6.1 [23:50] i used at WIndows* [23:51] lol , rapid [23:51] i make it but .. [23:51] Shujah, i thought you had to specify U+x or a+x to make exuctable to the yser(s) [23:51] it is downloading [23:51] aa [23:51] = ?:P [23:51] makis dude use the whole path and the file name to execute e.g. if at desktop... > ~/Desktop/netbeans.sh [23:52] what i must write at command like( terminal) for install and run the netbeans.sh ? [23:52] what happens in the terminal when you type sudo ./netbeans-6.1beta-ruby-linux.sh ? [23:52] and again i copy it [23:52] at home/makis/ [23:52] and i write chmod + x ./home/makis/netbeans.sh and nothing again [23:52] suselin I one has to - he says he already chmod- x-ed the file [23:52] i Wrote sudo apt-get install netbeans that and i am w8ing the downloading [23:52] no such luck, i'm afraid [23:52] and i have that allready the .sh [23:52] failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x1) [23:53] join #drupal.de [23:53] hi, i'm trying to get a CF drive working in my laptop (has a slot) whenever i insert, no drive appears and i get ' failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x1)' anyone got any ideas? [23:53] azexia1, do you perhaps have windows installed as well? if so - can you read the card there? [23:53] is there anyway to make superpi to use 2 cores? [23:53] ah ah [23:54] ah ah [23:54] Seveas: no, i do not have windows installed on any of my machines [23:54] azexia1, some of the buit in slot readeras on laptops cant read all the different card formats. due to lack of drivers for some of the things. [23:54] could someone guide me to getting java from the command line? using add remove programs doesn't seem to work [23:54] thnx to Rapid [23:54] makis: try chmod u+x then filename.sh to make it executable [23:54] dr_Willis: are you suggesting that a cf card reader can't read a cf card? [23:54] k [23:54] I recently noticed that firefox doesn't use any of my file associations in gnome, and there aren't any listed in the applications tab of the preferences either - is there any known solution for this? a file that's at the wrong place or? [23:54] DIL i made it :P [23:54] i install the NEtBeans [23:54] azexia1, It could be a corrupt card [23:54] given the error [23:54] with Rapid's help [23:54] sudo apt-get install netbeans [23:55] that was [23:55] sudo apt-get install netbeans [23:55] Buckland7777, you want open jdk or sun java [23:55] Seveas: it could be, it is a new one [23:55] but i try that u say [23:55] sun [23:55] makis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:55] azexia1, can you read it in any other device? [23:55] azexia1, the drivers for the interface to the card reader may not be 100% working under linux. I have a laptop i canuse the SD card slot. but not the mmc card slot. (i got no cf cards) so it can happen [23:55] Seveas: i brought a card reader from another source at the same time, still waiting for that too arrive, until then i can't test it i'm afraid [23:55] its netbeans 5.5 but you want 6.1? [23:55] thnx to al [23:55] sudo apt-get install --reinstall -y sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin [23:55] all* [23:56] hello i cant hear no sound n firefox i downloaded adobe flash player but i still cant get no sound [23:56] i'll give it a shot, thanks shujah [23:56] azexia1, does an extra device node appear in /dev (/dev/sdc or something?) [23:56] yojesus, download a file flashlibsupport from ubntu repos [23:56] dr_Willis: sorry, was there a point to that? perhaps you could ask my my drive type, and check it, that might be more productive? [23:56] Seveas: no extra devices no [23:56] Shujah:wait what do u have the link [23:57] My Hardy system booted in RO mode. I can't seem to figure out how to restart it remotely. can anybody help?
