[00:00] Pilkington: yep, the installer [00:00] I really need some assistance installing my video drivers... Ive been following every single tutorial on google and still not getting to make my ati mobility radeon 9000 video card to work [00:00] and yes, i went to youtube and it sent me to adobe [00:00] where i had to pick one of 3 different files >_< [00:00] is it possible to make a 3d cube (6 windows)in advanced desktop effects? [00:00] anybody know about rinetd [00:00] Pilkington: just do the following: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [00:00] Enanito: you have looked in hardware drivers? [00:00] and when i get to restricted drivers there is no ati driver to select [00:00] yes fajalou [00:00] Pilkington: dont use adobe's way [00:01] Howdy. I installed UbuntuStudio earlier today and when I attempt to compile a program, I get the following message;checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... no. NEXT LINE: configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables. [00:01] i have no idea what sudo is =/ [00:01] Enanito: go to ati website and dload the latest drivers for your hardware [00:01] but i downloaded it from somewhere else you told me to go to [00:01] Pilkington: and what nano just said is the command line way to do the synaptic thing [00:01] synaptic or something [00:01] i did it pilkington [00:01] hi [00:01] i think i did it, but i'm going checking >_< [00:01] byb [00:01] nano_ oh it didnt give me any error this time writing setup(hd0,0) but nothing's happening, what should be my next step ? sorry to bother you mate : ) [00:01] Enanito: what about envyng? [00:01] brb* [00:01] Pilkington: a lot of us like the command line way of doing things because we find it faster [00:01] Fajalou: I tried envy and it works if i login in safe mode... but on regular mode it takes me back to the login screen [00:01] Harley^: wht do you need to compile ?? [00:01] Harley^: why do you need to compile ?? [00:02] i plan on putting Ubuntu Server on an old Compaq Presario... still running Windows ME [00:02] ok ok.. i did that synaptic thing, and clicked to install flashplayer, i got 9 files, now what? :S [00:02] anything I should do with that? [00:02] i checked youtube and it doesn't work >_< [00:02] now when i do the fglrxinfo it says it is mesa not ati... my xorg.conf is empty too [00:02] PorkSoda, got it. you need to go into the preferences window, under Interfaces, Main Interface, WXWidgets (near the bottom) and turn off Embed Video in Interface [00:02] PhoenixUK: well just follow the same instructions to the post in that link you posted...except make sure that you have your numbering scheme correct. [00:02] kyncani - A program that is NOT in the repository and NOT in synaptic. Its home built [00:02] Pilkington: restart firefox first [00:02] i did :S [00:02] Mecha25, Haha, yea. Just found that out :) [00:02] im having screen resolution problems [00:02] pilkington, you need to wait for it to install the files [00:02] Harley^: all right then. You may take a look at build-essential [00:02] Pilkington: just dl the nonfree flash and disable any othr (likee genash) couse they will clash [00:02] it did as far as i was aware =/ [00:03] Mecha25, Thanks, that does help [00:03] kyncani: It compiled without error in Debian Etch [00:03] did it say "installation complete"? [00:03] well, i had no others installed, and i did download the nonfree flash [00:03] is there a way i can change the screen resolution of the login screen? [00:03] Enanito: i would suggest taking this issue to the ati irc. [00:03] PorkSoda: no problem [00:03] Harley^: you have build-essential installed? [00:03] the window just closed itself, so i assumed it was complete =/ [00:03] thank you Fajalou [00:03] Pilkington: generally when you are in irc...it would be correct for you to type the name of the person before you write anything to them or else your comments will generally be missed [00:03] not sure what it is, but i would guess it is #ati [00:03] Ah.. yes. Build essential thats it ! [00:03] pilkington, you didn't check the "Download Package Files Only" box did you? [00:03] Pilkington: restart browser [00:03] jamus, i did [00:03] FAJALOU: but #ati might be crowded by windows users and he won't be able to get any help [00:04] mecha, i didn't click anything other than to install i think :S [00:04] nano, ok [00:04] Pilkington: restart? [00:04] oh! you did hit apply, right? [00:04] jamus.. i did :S [00:04] nano_: true, do you have any suggestions on what to do though/ [00:04] so, updatedb isn't finishing correctly -- I guess it's hanging at some point, any ideas on fixing that [00:04] wait a sec [00:04] oh wait.. the computer or just firefox? [00:04] Pilkington: FF [00:04] FAJALOU: when he went to ati site there should be linux install options...please post the link. [00:05] maco, ? [00:05] should be just firefox, if you want a guaranteed solution, go to Add/Remove Programs in your applications menu, and select Ubuntu Restricted Extras. Then hit apply. [00:05] Enanito: did you hear nano/ [00:05] mecha, ok i'll try that next [00:05] Pilkington: ff = firefox [00:05] you can use the box at the top of the window to search [00:05] sorry [00:05] AngryElf: how about running it yourself, see if it hangs, and if it does, look into /proc/??/fd/ where it's hanging ? [00:05] yeah i got into #ati [00:05] but no one answers [00:05] when he went to ati site there should be l [00:05] Pilkington: pls use this url and see if it tells u smtng like ''plugins needed'' [00:06] Enanito: when he went to ati site there should be linux install options...please post the link. [00:06] hi, How do I boot ubuntu onto an older windows computer? [00:06] Pilkington: http://www.wgalil.ac.il [00:06] ok thank you [00:06] Enanito: looking at the ati.amd site....it seems that you have to select your OS and you specific hardware to get a driver...after this you hit "GO" and you get a *.run file....this is an linux executable....so d/load this and run it as root (i would imagine). [00:06] just put in the disc? [00:06] I tried it too [00:06] made deb packages [00:06] jamus, it says "plugins needed" [00:06] and installed them [00:06] but it didnt work [00:06] after rebooting it started as a "vesa" driver [00:06] Pilkington: its college site that uses flash i check with it after every instalation [00:07] acrousey: yep, and make sure cdrom booting is enabled in bios [00:07] even tho i modify it after in xorg.conf [00:07] bios? [00:07] kyncani: what am I looking for there? there are 6 symlinks numbered 0-5 [00:07] can anyone help me get windows in my grub menu plz [00:07] Enanito: what is the name of the ati-linux driver that you want to use [00:07] Pilkington: click on flash win and dl plugin ''nonfree [00:07] kyncani: bios? [00:07] kyncani: the last two are / [00:07] Pilkington: click on flash win and dl plugin ''nonfree'' [00:07] AngryElf: ls -l [00:07] Enanito: "vesa" driver is basic linux provided, non ati driver. [00:07] nano_ Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes [00:07] Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes [00:07] Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes [00:07] Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 17 sectors are embedded.

[00:08] Error 22: No such partition [00:08] Pilkington: then restart browser [00:08] Pilkington: should work [00:08] Where can I download latest language XPI:s for Firefox? [00:08] kyncani: right, there are 6 symlinks /dev/pts/1, /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db and two links to '/' [00:08] nano: but is there a way to install it [00:08] Hi guys. Why my us_intl keyboard will not type '«' and '»' unless I modify some extra disposal settings and set them back as original? [00:08] what is "Bios" [00:08] nano: i tried everything step by step believe me [00:09] oh score, it works :D [00:09] AngryElf: yeah, now that i think of it, these will tell you about opened files, not about directories ... [00:09] that add/remove programs thingy worked [00:09] thanks guys :D [00:09] Enanito: post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to a pastesite so i can see [00:09] that works ! danke [00:09] nano_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/27158/ thats what i got [00:09] kyncani: what is a "Bios" [00:09] ubuntu is confusing 0_o atleast it has good community support [00:09] kyncani: didn'd know about that anyways, so I learned something :) [00:09] AngryElf: All right, you could also try a big "find /" and see if it's hanging somewhere [00:09] pilkington: it is until you get used to it, then it's amazing [00:09] PhoenixUK: I don't know exactly what your setup is...but your earlier problem was due to incorrect number usage...i still think that you are not providing the proper argument [00:09] pilkington: until then, that's what this room's for [00:09] nano: thats another problem [00:10] nano: it is empty [00:10] michelecs: what do you mean/ [00:10] my xorg.conf is totally empty [00:10] Pilkington: ur welcome pls do come by whenu get to know stuff and help others [00:10] Enanito: that is a problem... [00:10] hey guys, i know this is against linux philosophy in general but does any know if there is any progress toward blu-ray / hd-dvd playability in ubuntu that would not require ripping (pop in the disc and it works)% [00:10] is there any way to view my file on a usb ntfs mounted disk from ubuntu [00:10] ooh, another question, jamus [00:10] mecha25: yeah it is haha [00:10] askand: are you looking for the locales ? if so, check synaptic for entrees starting with mozilla-firefox-locale [00:10] uhm, well I just follow what you've told me : ) and what's in that post, but it doesnt seem to work [00:10] acrousey: you should google for it, keywords like bios boot cdrom. You may take a look for bios in wikipedia. As a side note, if you don't know what a bios is, ubuntu may not be your up of tea [00:10] kyncani: find hangs as well ( [00:10] Enanito: do you currently have graphics? [00:11] why is it so quiet? i have volume turned to max on everything, master, youtube, my little speaker dial, and it's like what i would expect from windows at 30% :S [00:11] AngryElf: yep, but now you should see where it's hanging [00:11] it's all about the learning [00:11] PhoenixUK: paste sudo fdisk -l [00:11] Pilkington: bios is hardware soft that come with every board to help configure things on it [00:11] octal: when I star Ubuntu my keyboard will not type all the characters (eg. « and »). It will do if I pretend I modify the extra settings (like Euro sign on '5' and so on). [00:11] acrousey: well BIOS stands for Basic Input/Output System, but it's configuration is what you reach when you press F2 (or whatever your comp tells you to) for Setup right when the Dell/HP/Compaq/whatever screen comes up [00:11] double click on the volume/speaker icon in your upper right corner of your screen [00:11] jamus.. i have no idea what you just said [00:11] :( [00:11] Pilkington: *every motherboard [00:11] nano: yes... as i mentioned before... i tried with envyng, it seems to installed it.. but i can login just in safemode... in regular mode it takes me back to the login screen... then if i try fglrxinfo it says i have a mesa driver.. and my xorg.conf is empty [00:11] Pilkington: Double click on your volume icon in the top right hand corner of the screen [00:11] kyncani: hey my mom has no idea what a bios is, but she loves ubuntu...says it's easier than windows [00:11] aye [00:12] michelecs: does it behave like a a normal US keyboard? Do you have dead keys? Or does it partially behave as us_intl? [00:12] pilkington: it should give you a bunch of volume controls, be careful, you can blow your speakers if you max everything [00:12] they're all on max =/ [00:12] maco: your mom did not install ubuntu and you're troubleshooting it for her [00:12] have you checked all tabs? [00:12] nano_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/27159/ [00:12] it's like 30% of what i get at max normally :< [00:12] all tabs, apart from line in [00:12] thanks all [00:12] kyncani: i installed it, yes, but i haven't had to do troubleshooting as there's been no trouble :) [00:13] im looking to leave a music server behind for college. and im looking for a program to automatically tag them as they are added to the server. is there something like that? [00:13] Enanito: mesa is a standard - non accelerated - linux video driver... === Bradj47 is now known as B47|away [00:13] kyncani: that's why she's running ubuntu. because if she was running windows, there would be trouble to shoot [00:13] Pilkington, go to System -> Preferences -> sound in your menu [00:13] Enanito: if you have any sort of graphics then its not possible for /etc/X11/xorg.conf to be empty....are you sure you have read rights to this file? [00:13] nano: and under restricted drivers i dont have an option to select ati video. === mac-p200 is now known as macgyverdgi [00:13] mecha, i'm there :D [00:14] maco: i can understand that you do not want to repair windows boxes ;) [00:14] nano: yeah... i tried also with sudo cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf and it is empty [00:14] See if there's any better options under Device, near the bottom of the window [00:14] PhoenixUK: what partition are you trying to install inux. [00:14] kyncani: the only troubleshooting has been hardware "uh, mum, you're video card will be dead, probably within the next year" [00:14] PhoenixUK: *linux [00:14] any, doesnt matter [00:14] glitsj16: that does not help since todays update :( [00:14] mecha, there are 5 options :S [00:14] octal: I have dead keys my keyboard setting in Gnome is "USA international with dead keys". for example I can type "á ñ ö" and so on. [00:15] Pilkington: any of them say ALSA Mixer in parentheses? [00:15] damn that looks messy, didnt know it made so many partitions.... never had so much troubles with it === dymas is now known as meilannY [00:15] aye, the one i'm on now [00:15] how do I force fsck to run next time I boot? === meilannY is now known as maylani [00:15] mecha, it says "HDA NVidia (Alsa Mixer)" [00:15] AngryElf: sudo touch /forcefsck [00:15] hm... check your speaker wiring, or it might just be a quiet youtube video [00:15] Pilkington: when u boot up u get ''press del for setup'' smtng like that (f2 in some pc's)-- thats Bios [00:15] maco: there will be troubleshooting at some point, trust me on that one [00:15] no no, i was listening to this this morning on windows [00:16] michelecs: oh, sorry. I have a different problem, then. [00:16] PhoenixUK: there are 2 ways you can install grub on a driver...first one is to go into grubshell. and do setup..root and all that stuff..........another option, which i prefer to use is grub-install from linux command linux..."grub-install" does a lot of things for you automatically...the only thing you need to do is provide it with (hdX) of the harddisk you are trying to install it upon. [00:16] kyncani: it's been 20 months === maylani is now known as maylanni [00:16] Pilkington, OH! in the window you got when you double clicked on your volume icon, go to Edit Preferences [00:16] hello [00:16] this is bjork when she went batshit-crazy.. my neighbours should be deaf >_< [00:16] PhoenixUK: please post your /boot/grub/menu.lst file [00:16] maco: try some years [00:16] mecha, i'm here 0_o [00:16] Pilkington: are all boxes checked? [00:16] kyncani: itll be 2 years this thanksgiving. actually it's 2 years for me today! [00:16] mecha, about half of them are [00:17] check them all, you'll get more volume controls, one of them should be abnormally low [00:17] 0_o [00:17] Pilkington: if u r on laptop or desk pc with multimedia keys pls check u didnt mute [00:17] maco: and i'm sure there has been things a windows user would not have handled [00:17] jamus, i don't have multimedia keys :P [00:17] kyncani: um until i used ubuntu i was a windows user... [00:17] kyncani: certainly not a mac user...ugh [00:18] mecha, 3 of my sliders are on full, all the others are at 0% :S [00:18] Pilkington: it's designed so you can turn off ones that don't work, or that you don't need, but a bit too many are turned off by default. turn them all on, then check the volumes that appear in the main pane. well turn them up then === dymas is now known as maylanY [00:18] askand: someone asked a similar question, after installing the recent firefox updates he got it solved by creating a new profile for firefox .. === maylanY is now known as melanY [00:18] kyncani: so um i was a windows user, and i handled them, so umm.....what's your point? [00:18] mecha, what is the "LFE" channel? 0_o [00:18] Enanito: if you really don't have a xorg.conf file....i guess what i would do is try to reconfigure X from square 1...you can do this by issuing....."dpkg-reconfigure xorg" as root [00:18] kyncani: i think most of the knowledgeable people in here were windows users at one point [00:18] i need someone who knows how to install ubuntu onto an external hard drive to help me out.. [00:18] Pilkington: bass (low frequency) [00:18] crim, thanks [00:18] glitsj16: hm thanks ill try that [00:19] xxschwartzxx1: whats the issue? [00:19] Pilkington: normally reserved for multichannel's subwoofer [00:19] nano: I did and what it does is that it gives me a vesa driver again... even though i configure an Ati [00:19] OH MY GOD [00:19] i think i'm deaf [00:19] Pilkington: told you to be careful, lol [00:19] mecha/crim thanks :P [00:19] maco: i just need to know exactly what to do, i just burned the ubuntu iso to my cd, and i am ready to install [00:19] maco: i don't have any point, but if some guy does not know what a bios is, does not look for the information, and you still advise him to install ubuntu, then you support him [00:19] Pilkington: hope your speakers survived [00:19] i think i need hearing aids now >_< [00:19] Enanito:okay now you should have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file [00:20] kyncani: win is nice but linux is nicer more personal and better all in all for pll who actually work ith pcs (like server stuff ) [00:20] kyncani: i didnt know what a BIOS was when i started, hun. not like i needed to touch it to install ubuntu [00:20] ok, thanks very much guys :D [00:20] Enanito: i can't help you configure your X without this file....i don't know how you can have graphics and not have this file....believe me, it is impossible for X to run without this file!! [00:20] nano: ok ill do it right now :) thank you really [00:20] Pilkington: no problem, come bac anytime or post on the forums [00:20] jamus: yep, sure is :) [00:20] Enanito: and somehow you are running X without this file...i'm not sure....no prob. [00:20] Pilkington: sure np === dymas is now known as meylani [00:21] mecha, you bet i'm back soon.. i'm betting about 5 minutes before i fail at something else :P [00:21] maco: i just need to know exactly what to do, i just burned the ubuntu iso to my cd, and i am ready to install [00:21] Is there anyway to get video playing with Compiz-Fusion running, I get sound but no video, everything works fine if I disable Compiz though [00:21] nano: that will be xserver-xorg right? [00:21] and thanks jamus too ^_^ [00:21] xxschwartzxx1: just boot from the CD and when it gets to the partitioning step, make sure you choose your external drive. when you get to the confirmation step at the end, hit the "Advanced" button and tell it hda(1,0) (assuming you have only 1 internal and 1 external) [00:21] nano_ that doesnt tell me much, damn im so terrible heh... [00:21] maco: but you do know now what a bios is, right ? [00:21] nano: because nothing happens with dpkg-reconfigure xorg [00:21] PhoenixUK: xorg [00:21] rather [00:21] xxschwartzxx1, try this link http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/11/13/installing-ubuntu-to-a-usb-hard-drive/ [00:21] Enanito: okay xserver-xorg [00:21] k well wish me luck bbl h[pefully.. [00:21] kyncani: at some point since i started supporting people here and on ubuntuforums.org, i learned it, yes [00:21] hey, firefox (3) is deleting my bookmarks! [00:21] hopefully* [00:22] xxschwartzxx1: its a live cd so you can come in here and ask at any point if you're not sure what to do during install [00:22] Pilkington: practice makes perfection ---- or at least a lil better ;) [00:22] askand: seems to be a new bug --> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/248204 .. no fix yet i'm afraid [00:22] Launchpad bug 248204 in firefox-3.0 "Firefox 3.0.1 not compatible with language packs" [Undecided,Confirmed] [00:22] PhoenixUK: sorry, that was not intended for you....i get a lil confused trying to help out 2 ppl at once..sorry [00:22] nano_ xorg ? [00:22] dont i need to restart though? [00:22] PhoenixUK: yes, and after do xserver-xorg [00:22] maco: so, you were using windows and did not know what a bios is. Now that you're using linux, you do know. Yeah, I'm sure your mom would have loved to know what a bios is ;) [00:22] both need to be reconfigured [00:22] PhoenixUK: make sure you "sudo" [00:22] xxschwartzxx1: with a live cd, you can use the live system while it's installing [00:23] kyncani: but that knowledge wasn't necessary to either install or use ubuntu [00:23] can someone help me get windows in the grub menu please [00:23] maco: ok now im confused... don't i put the cd in, restart, and install? [00:23] nano: i have a xorg.conf right now i will paste the results [00:23] glitsj16: thanks :) [00:23] Enanito: sweet ..please do. [00:23] maco: nope, not necessary, it just happens that when you're using linux, you tend to know those things [00:23] kyncani: i just read a lot on the forums, in here, and from blogs, so i learn plenty of things ive never had any reason to need to know :P just like i have no reason to know that in 13th century england they were sideless surcotes over cotehardies [00:24] xxschwartzxx1: yes, but you can use a live ubuntu system while you install [00:24] wickedjester, try this link http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/booting-windows-from-grub-577176/ [00:24] maco:well whatever ill just brb lol... [00:24] Whole Ubuntu Ease Debate: just so you know guys, the first time I tried Ubuntu it fried my MBR, and I lost everything. Some people have it easier than others [00:24] xxschwartzxx1: so you can get online while it's installing and browse the web and ask questions in here as you go [00:24] PhoenixUK: were you able to grub-install (hd0) with success? [00:24] kyncani: but knowing what a BIOS is is certainly not a pre-req for using ubuntu [00:24] how can i access to my usb disk files ...there mount it NTFS windows any idea [00:25] pepe__: using the latest ubuntu? [00:25] askand: did creating a new profile solve your issue ? if so, you could suggest it as a workaround at the bug page .. just checking, other people might drop in with similar issues :) [00:25] maco: I'm sure most linux users are more knowledgeable in computers than windows users [00:25] pepe__: should be able to just plug it in and have it automount [00:25] nano: there you are http://rafb.net/p/jF32qc77.html [00:25] I can't watch videos with compiz enabled, I get sound but no picture, is there a solution or a work around someone could point me too? [00:25] kyncani: before dapper's release, i would've agreed. not so sure anymore. [00:25] Mecha25: google is a friend [00:25] fiction: define videos [00:25] fiction: flash? or standalone files? [00:26] both [00:26] maco: I'm still sure of that, by the simple fact that people are used to windows and not ubuntu [00:26] fiction: do you get sound in general? [00:26] well some flash works but that's a whole other issue, that's firefox I'm sure [00:26] kyncani: being used to something doesn't make a person stupid [00:26] yeah sund works excellent, I'm listening to MP3's right now [00:26] !ntfs | pepe__ [00:26] pepe__: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For NTFS write access, see /msg ubottu NTFS-3g or /msg ubottu FUSE [00:26] Enanito: your xorg.conf looks good....can you post the output of the following command "lsmod | grep ati" [00:26] maco: and ? [00:26] hai guys, i'm back again.. what do i do about iTunes?? :S [00:26] DIL: I got it working eventually, I'm now offering support to others, but I don't like people arguing about how easy/tough linux is compared to windows.

[00:54] guys if u wanna share a partition with windows put it in /dos mount point in install and it works perfectly (sinc and everything) as long as it dont have win on it (clear partition)-- NTFS [00:54] PhoenixUK: you need to mount your harddrive first, then you need to give me your /etc/fstab file [00:54] sorry if I was suppose to mention that earlier, but it's kinda logical that Im not on normal instal since i couldnt boot on it [00:54] <_xyz> flannel: so the old HDD would have 0 software modifications to it and i would have a choice between which os to boot? [00:54] kyncani "grub stage 1.5 read error " [00:54] kyncani: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27164/ [00:54] kyncani: that is what he sent me [00:54] nano_ how do i do that ? [00:54] kyncani: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27163/ [00:54] _xyz: Correct [00:54] PhoenixUK: ? [00:54] _xyz Wrong [00:54] hi! i'm trying to install xubuntu on my carpc.. i don't have a cd-rom, so i've put the iso on a USB-stick [00:55] 960 GT [00:55] first monitor is a asus or something and the second is a tv with vga out [00:55] and it [00:55] kyncani: i didn't realize that the info he was sending was off live cd.... [00:55] do u have any solutions [00:55] when it boots i get this message: "Could not find kernel image: linux" [00:55] nano_ you said i have to mount hdd first and then check that whatever file [00:55] <_xyz> thanks [00:55] Flannel If he sets his old xp install as slave or second master wont he have a problem with xp [00:55] PhoenixUK: do you have two drives or only one ? [00:55] glitsj16: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=858240 it seems to have something to do with xulrunner :) [00:55] just one, IDE [00:55] exit [00:56] PhoenixUK: and do you have ubuntu only or ubuntu and windows ? [00:56] Jack_Sparrow: No, you just have to do mapping in GRUB, and it'll never know the difference [00:56] askand: aha, nice find :) .. hope there's a fix [00:56] PhoenixUK: yes, right now you are running an OS based completely off the livecd,.... your harddrve doesn't enter the equation at all. the settings that i was asking you for pertain to your harddive - which isn't in the equation at all. [00:56] PhoenixUK: if u have a new pc i suggest u fix partitions with gparted and then install if u want ill tell u exactly how [00:56] just ubuntu, windows has been wiped before [00:56] woops, thought I had the terminal selected [00:56] hey anyone here used scientific linux?im partitioning and might get it but wnat to know how big it is installed [00:56] yep seems to be a matter of time, thanks for helping out, goodnight [00:56] _xyz: Thats true. You may need to modify the grub config slightly to get windows to boot happily. come back here and ask about grub mapping if you do have that problem. [00:56] <_xyz> jack_sparrow: but only 1 hdd can be set as primary [00:57] PhoenixUK: partition must be ext3 not ntfs [00:57] PhoenixUK: all right, you may try this (on the livecd) : sudo grub. Then type "root (hd0,0)" then "setup (hd0)", then reboot and see what happens [00:57] Flannel Ive had some XP systems give me hassles [00:57] hey anyone here used scientific linux?im partitioning and might get it but want to know how big it is installed? [00:57] PhoenixUK: so we need to bring your harddisk into the equation first...you can do this by issuing the following : sudo mkdir /media/harddrive && mount /dev/hda3 /media/harddrive [00:57] Jack_Sparrow: If you map it in grub, XP doesn't know any different [00:57] anyone? i'm trying to boot from a USB-stick, but get this message: "Could not find kernel image: linux" [00:57] kyncani i was following this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-615668.html but it quite didnt work [00:57] PhoenixUK: for the second command you will need to insert a "sudo " immediately after the "&&" symbol. [00:58] Flannel I know how to map it in grub, but it does not always go as planned. [00:58] kyncani: prolly that didn't work for him cause he was running off livecd [00:58] can some one tell me how can i go to french room pLS [00:58] _xyz It is easy enough to replace the mbr on a XP drive if there is ever an issue...

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr [00:59] MERCI [00:59] burner What tutorial are you following [00:59] nano_ mkdir: cannot create direectory '/media/harddrive' : File exists [00:59] H/A my ubuntu 8.04 can't visit www.google.com , other is ok. [00:59] hyh [00:59] Any idea why weather.com shows the interactive map on my login, but not my wife's? [00:59] Jack_Sparrow, none.. i just copied the iso on my usb-stick.. i've used the stick to boot DSL a few hours ago === Brenny_ is now known as Brenny [01:00] burner read up at pendrivelinux.com [01:00] !usb [01:00] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [01:00] i use firefox 3 [01:00] nano_: it should work, even in a livecd, grub's setup() will only install grub in the mbr afaik. The config file is left untouched. It can also be left unchecked if using root() and setup() instead of grub-install [01:01] hey people i am installing ubuntu onto my external but i need help.. [01:01] ki4cgp if it's any consolation, same here. [01:01] how do i install it without removing my other data on my external? [01:01] so whats the next guess ? [01:01] burner: Jack_Sparrow is correct. Here is the full URL for pendrivelinux's tutorial: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/04/14/ubuntu-804-usb-hard-drive-install/ [01:01] Jack_Sparrow, okay thanks! essentially to rename to syslinux :P [01:01] <_xyz> alright i'll keep all of that in mind, thanks guys [01:01] tremulous stopped working right:" You are using software Mesa (no hardware acceleration)!" how can i change it back [01:01] kyncani: it wont work if he is running grub-install if the harddisk is not mounted [01:01] was the same for DSL too [01:01] kyncani: what do you think? [01:01] *doh* === Cynical_ is now known as Blaqlight [01:01] PhoenixUK: the link you tried to follow should work. But it may prove difficult if you're not used to it. === cat is now known as pelly [01:02] nano_: i thought grub-install did not need the partition holding menu.lst to be mounted [01:02] i went to google earth and got the linux download [01:02] hey i need some help [01:02] its a bin [01:02] is that right?. [01:02] kyncani: im nor sure [01:02] herrmess, I'm quite content, unfortunatly, its my other half that is unhappy [01:03] hey i need help with getting windows to work in the grub menu [01:03] Zamadatx: No, use medibuntu [01:03] kyncani: I think, if the drive is not mouted, then /dev/hdXX doesn't like to anything? [01:03] wickedjester, wahts wrong [01:03] Guys I need to know how do i install ubuntu to my external HD without removing or formatting my other data on my external? [01:03] Zamadatx: well, a bin is right. But its better to use a packaged version. [01:03] xxschwartzxx, partition it [01:03] did you face the same problem ? ubuntu 8.04 can't visit google.com ,but other website is ok even the google.co.uk [01:03] kyncani: then if /dev/hdaXX doesn't link to anything, then how can grub access the harddisk? [01:03] PhoenixUK: its best for u to dl and make livecd of gparted so u can know all ur partition setting(if u have ntfs volume u will have to change to ext3) [01:04] I had ubuntu 6.xx few years ago on this machine and there was 0 problems with it :S [01:04] nano_: /dev/hd* are present even if not mounted. [01:04] pvl1: but it asys the partrition is like 111gigs but that is the size on my feraking external and i dont know how to change it [01:04] medibuntu? [01:04] what problems do you have now? [01:04] i have that gparted here, trying to open it now [01:04] or maybe you can visit the google.com , but can't login google accounts? [01:04] sorry for my typing [01:04] im on the phone [01:04] it says 'scanning all devices..." so im just waiting for the result [01:04] pvl1 it wont load [01:04] if thats of any use [01:04] xxschwartzxx, are you in a live cd? [01:04] how do i use MAKEDEV to create dev/video0 [01:04] yes [01:04] whats medibuntu? [01:05] * dolphin_noel brb [01:05] PhoenixUK: and to know the hd0(?,?) u should work with [01:05] !medibunti > Zamadatx [01:05] zamadatx, please see my private message [01:05] nano_: and i found myself 2~3 weeks ago in a situation where grub-install did not work, grub's builtin find() command did not work either, but root() and setup() did work. And that already happened to me before [01:05] kyncani: PhoenixUK problem is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27163/ [01:05] !medibuntu > Zamadatx [01:05] plv1: yes its a live [01:06] looks like i got funny issue here isnt it ? haha [01:06] how does MAKEDEV work [01:06] kyncani: grub-install "guesses" the correct values for /dev/XX . it is not accurate like going into grubshell,setup.root....etc. So i guess the problem is that PhoenixUK's computer hardwares is not guessed correctly by grub-install....so he will have to go into grub shell, do rootXX and setupXX [01:06] im trying to create a directory dev/video0 for my webcam but i cant figure out the appopriate input [01:06] nano_, PhoenixUK : yeah, I was prolly in the same situation i think. That's why i advised using sudo grub, then root (hd0,0), then setup (hd0). [01:07] o i got GParted loaded [01:07] xxschwartzxx, use gparted to partition ur external and then make the install select the new partition [01:07] see 5 partitions there [01:07] 2 ext3 , extended and 2 linux-swap [01:07] anyone run into a bad boot sequence that says that ext3 might not be a valid filesystem, and that it should be checked with fsck.... only to further state that a maintenance shell is being run, otherwise press ctrl-d for a normal startup... ? I wanted to restart my system remotely after a power outage, so the techs onsite powered it back on but ran into this beauty... normally it's just supposed to go straight to the login pr [01:07] ompt [01:08] anyways, anything i should do with this software now ? like delete all of it or something ? [01:08] PhoenixUK: look at it to see what partitions u have [01:08] pvl1: i really have never even done a part. and i dont know what gparted is.. [01:08] * puwei sorry for ask again. could you tell me , would you ever face the same problem,8.04 + firefox3.0 can't login google account .plz [01:08] I run apcupsd for battery ups graceful shutdowns too... so I dont believe it should be cnetered around the power outage... [01:08] how do i input MAKEDEV to create the directory /dev/video0 [01:08] !partitions | xxschwartzxx [01:08] jamus ? and ? [01:08] xxschwartzxx: Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter [01:08] PhoenixUK: removing everything and trying again won't hurt i guess :) [01:08] ye, it was a fresh install anyways [01:08] kyncani: well make sure that you the numbers of the arguments correct, here are PhoenixUK's settings: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27159/ [01:09] ok i removed everything, got 190gb unallocated now [01:09] whats the next step ? [01:09] xxschwartzxx, that help? [01:09] what partitions do i need to set ? [01:09] no i cant find that [01:09] xxschwartzxx, do u know what synaptic is [01:10] PhoenixUK: so u are doing a brand new install? [01:10] xerxes [01:10] yeh seems so [01:10] pvl1: i have seen it in the menus yse [01:10] xxschwartzxx, use that to isntall gparted [01:10] *install [01:10] nano_, PhoenixUK : well, looks like his /boot is hda3, so that would be root (hd0,2) or (hd0,1) (don't remember grub's calling convention) [01:10] can i do that while im using ubuntu off the cd? [01:10] CaptainMorgan: run 'sudo fsck -a -f /dev/XXX' to auto repair disk [01:10] !pastebin > wickedjester [01:10] wickedjester, please see my private message [01:10] kyncani: PhoenixUK, i guess that won't hurt...you can setup partitions any ways you want. [01:11] kyncani it's not anymore, it's all deleted now : P [01:11] kyncani: it would be (hd0,2) [01:11] PhoenixUK: if u dont have anything important on it i suggest u repartition it to 1 ext3 partition(19 gb 1swap file partition(1gb) and the rest on ntfs partition (to be mounted as /dosin install ) and format it and install again [01:11] PhoenixUK: all right, well, you may have more luck this time :) [01:11] PhoenixUK: you need at bare minimum 1 swap partition and one "/" parition [01:11] PhoenixUK: ext (10 gb)****** [01:12] tech0007, doesn't it need to be umounted first ?? [01:12] CaptainMorgan: yes [01:12] mount ext3 part as / [01:12] uhm.... [01:12] PhoenixUK: i would recommend 1 swap , 1 "/" partition, and one /home partition so that next time in case you have to reformat everything you won't lose your dloads and other precious stuff like that. [01:12] nano_, PhoenixUK : yeah, bare minimum is good, keep things simple [01:12] make it the simple way, and slow please, dont want to mess this :) [01:13] nano_: i think from 8.04 on, you can reinstall and keep your /home, everything else get deleted [01:13] tech0007, can this be accomplished remotely? I'm not seeing an easier route to do this, other than being onsite.... [01:13] with a Live CD [01:13] kyncani: PhoenixUK: how much ram do you have, and how big is your hdisk? [01:13] kyncani im on 7.10 [01:13] where do i get the google earth package thing? [01:13] nano_ 190gb, 1gb ram [01:13] /whois CaptainMorgan [01:13] PhoenixUK: why don't you install 8.04 ? [01:13] CaptainMorgan: i dont think so [01:13] oh no [01:13] a few days ago adobe flash plugin was updated to version 10.x, but after updating to day it became 9.x again. is that right? [01:13] puwei, why do you care ? [01:13] hm, now i have booted from my USB-stick.. and eventually i get to a prompt, "BusyBox v1.1.3 ..." [01:13] what next? :S [01:13] where do i get the linux google pack thing? [01:14] google earth [01:14] Zamadat1: medibuntu [01:14] PhoenixUK: set up 2gigs swap partition, and the remaining space (assuming you want to use entire hdisk) as "/" partition with ext3 format. [01:14] puwei, unless you find me interesting or degrading... hopefully the former [01:14] my english was poor [01:14] whats medibuntu a site? [01:14] kyncani, it threw me to ... forgot what was it, s something box, alot of troubles with it, so some ppl said that the only help was to just get earlier version and then update it [01:14] k, thank you tech0007 ! [01:14] and here I come ; ] [01:14] Zamadat1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#Adding%20the%20Repositories [01:14] PhoenixUK: kyncani : and that should be the simplest install possible [01:14] thank oyu [01:14] i love google earth and its in ubuntu now :) [01:15] i face a problem , how can i login to my google accounts [01:15] mountind ntfs partition as / dos enables u to sync with windows on another partition and not getting "lost+found" files on it [01:15] shame it's not entirely native, but it's ok [01:15] but no one , help me [01:15] puwei, what does that have to do with Ubuntu ? [01:15] is there a free open source project like google earth? [01:15] nano_ i got this 2gb swap, lets say I want to have 2 partitions, which ones do I make ? [01:15] like 1 30gb for system, and rest for storage [01:16] not that I know of [01:16] http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/15/usb-ubuntu-804-persistent-install-from-linux/ [01:16] anyone else had problems with that tutorial ^ ? [01:16] Can anybody give me advice on creating an Ubuntu Cluster? [01:16] when i use ubuntu 7.10 it's no problem , but then i update to 8.04 and i can't login to google [01:16] account [01:16] PhoenixUK: 20gb system is way more than enough [01:16] says it cannot find image 'linux' [01:16] PhoenixUK: if you want 2 partitions i would recommend that you have 130 gigs devoted to /home partition and the remaining to / parition [01:16] PhoenixUK: sys needs much less (like 10gb should be enough ) [01:16] sounds like it can't find the kernel [01:16] puwei, you're leaving out a lot of crucial information, which is probably why no one is choosing to assist you [01:17] Adman65, from the error message. i imagine its wanting vmlinuz, or whatever the kernel name is instead of linux [01:17] does any one know to fix a fucked up reiserfs partition? [01:17] PhoenixUK: so next time you hit a roadblock that kills your system you can reinstall OS without having to worry about losing your settings and dloads in /home dir [01:17] PhoenixUK: make livecd from gparted iso . and boot with it [01:17] I've played DVDs previously on this computer with no problem, but a DVD gave me the following error message "ifoRead_VOBU_ADMAP vtsi failed" both with totem-xine and vlc. [01:17] uh [01:17] any idea what i could do about that? [01:17] puwei, your issue is very vague, consider giving thorough details [01:17] AMDpenguin: why did you use reiser? [01:17] flightgear files [01:17] AMDpenguin: you might try reiserfsck, and it will probably kill an already dying filesystem [01:17] But i regret it [01:18] Already did tree rebuild made it worse [01:18] Hi, anybody know a good alternative to xwinwrap? [01:18] AMDpenguin: did the --rebuild-tree ? Yep, it's dead all right [01:18] nano_ it doesnt say in this software anything like where its mounted [01:18] Adman65: recheck your grub configuration perhaps, check /boot make sure it has the kernel images etc. [01:18] it just gives me option to choose how many GB and what file system [01:19] PhoenixUK: are you using gparted or the install process ? [01:19] gparted [01:19] PhoenixUK: it should refer to "mount point" or something [01:19] PhoenixUK: u have to remember the (hd0,?) names [01:19] oh well [01:19] well i dont see any option like this [01:20] MrKennie, ya, i know, except im trying to use a liveUSB, so there is no boot :/ [01:20] PhoenixUK: (hd0,3) (hd0,5) and so on [01:20] anyone know any good X10 software? [01:20] i can click on the bar and click "new" then there comes window with following options: free space preceding, new size, free space following, create as ( primary / extended ) and filesystem [01:20] frM [01:20] no mount point anywhere [01:20] volksman, i recall some existing... some years back. :) but not sure if any of it has been updated recently. or how good it is. [01:20] Hello: I am trying to install Windows 2000 in parallels and it just hangs ( ubuntu 8.04 ) ( parallels ver. 2.2 . build 2232) Ideas? [01:21] #ubuntu-fr [01:21] volksman, you are refering to the X10 Home automation stuff? [01:21] Dr_willis: yep! [01:21] PhoenixUK: gparted will partition only if u boot with live cd (else options are disabled) [01:21] Dr_willis: I know LinuxMCE can do it but I'm trying to avoid that route [01:22] Dr_willis: also trying to avoid code...it's for my father...hahah [01:22] jamus ye , im on live, BUT there is no any 'mount' options here, and you tell me i have to set some [01:22] PhoenixUK: what are you options under filesystem setting [01:22] volksman, that company was so big and annyong in the popup ads. :) years ago.. I did have the things being ran by my linux box ages ago.. so the software proberly exists.. but no idea about the state of it. [01:22] PhoenixUK: do you see /home [01:22] PhoenixUK: u have to remember the divisions name alone [01:22] Adman65: well, in anycase, check make sure you got the kernel images. I would imagine the howto has something about the kernel? [01:22] PhoenixUK: do you see /home, among other entries [01:22] ext2, ext3, swap, fat 16, fat 32, xfs and so on [01:22] why do i get the a BusyBox prompt when booting the xubuntu cd?! [01:22] Dr_willis: no worries...thanks anyways...my father bought a ton of the stuff... :) [01:22] nope, no home [01:23] here: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/21/usb-xubuntu-804-persistent-install-from-linux/ , not specifically, but im am going to do some poking around [01:23] PhoenixUK: why don't you use the built-in installer, tell him to use the entire disk and be done with it ? [01:23] PhoenixUK: no mount points in gparted look at properties [01:23] PhoenixUK-> a mount point is a directory [01:23] PhoenixUK: in one of those settings under "NEW" you will see a selection of /home /boot....and so on. [01:23] what's the reason for https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/10.0.1.218+10.0.0.525ubuntu1~hardy1+really9.0.124.0ubuntu2 ? the newer version of flash worked better for me and this version is causing problems with an application [01:23] burner\-: see any error messages prior to that? [01:23] hagabaka: the newer Flash 10 beta 2 causes a regression on 64-bit non-PulseAudio users. [01:23] nano_ nothing like that [01:23] should say like smtng (hd0,3) (hd0,5) remember those [01:24] volksman, i got a few box's full here, from ages ago. [01:24] hi, is there some nice way to install a clean ubuntu installation from ubuntu to an usb stick? those I've read are using syslinux/lilo or other stuff I wouldn't mind to use [01:24] MrKennie_, no.. its "Loading vmlinuz" and "loading initrd".. and then i get the xubuntu loading splash [01:24] kyncani thats what i did earlier and I got all these problems now ;], so just making sure this time its right === ka2u is now known as ka2zzzz [01:24] or should I just get a cd with installer and install the system to a stick from it? [01:24] so shall i just wipe it all and use the auto installer ? [01:24] teprrr, syslinux is the normal way to get usb sticks booting I belive. [01:24] hagabaka: keep in mind that you can reinstall the older, superceded 10.0.1.218+10.0.0.525ubuntu1~hardy1 [01:24] u saying it will work ? [01:24] :S [01:24] Dr_willis, ahh. there's no other way to do it? [01:24] MrKennie_, i'm booting from a USB-stick though.. [01:24] oh [01:24] burner\-: oh I see [01:25] how can I let it not be upgraded to this version? [01:25] teprrr, there may be other ways , the pendrivelinux site may mention it. all the bootable usb sticks (vs usb drives) i use are using syslinux - its not hard to use.

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [01:25] PhoenixUK: :) i see (sorry) [01:25] burner\-: it might be because it does not know/can't find your root partition [01:25] hagabaka: pin it using Synaptic after reinstalling the "older" version [01:25] PhoenixUK: when u reinstall ubunto in partitions do manual select and choose from what u did in gparted [01:26] ok so again, what should i set in gparted ? [01:26] i use aptitude... [01:26] one swap and lets say 2 ext 3 ? [01:26] dont need any additional options like mount points and stuff ?

[01:37] kyncani: i click upgrade for 8.10 but its giving me 8.04, i can tell because the release notes for 8.04 show up not for 8.10 [01:37] alexur1: well, then do it the old way, edit sources.list and replace hardy with intrepid i guess [01:37] amenado: no that's alright, i like my IP address being unknown =] [01:37] does anybody know how to fix echoing in Teamspeak while usieng pulseaudio? and speex codecs and ubuntu 8.04 [01:37] kyncani: k ill try that [01:37] alexur1: then apt-get dist-upgrade [01:37] kyncani: [01:37] Yacht: your IP within the subnet has no bearing on us :P [01:37] hi [01:37] PhoenixUK: So far, it seems like only OpenGL, I believe. Alien Arena, Glest, FreedroidRPG. [01:37] Yacht-> as if it matters to us..you are behind a router, so your internal ip address does not count to us [01:37] kyncani: E: Couldn't find package ntfs-config [01:38] hola [01:38] burner\-: I'm not really sure tbh, I would start by checking to make sure the image is where it expects it to be. [01:38] maco: sudo cp [01:38] cp: missing file operand [01:38] amenado:, maco: like i said, i like to be secretive [01:38] Yacht you can try to guess from you IP if you' re using dhcp for assing them [01:38] DEED: well you gotta tell it what file you want to copy and where too :P [01:38] fbianconi: that's a good point [01:38] Shpook looks like overheating to me, but then it should occur in other demanding games as well, have you got the newest drivers to date installed ? [01:39] fbianconi: why didn't i think of that [01:39] maco: ethernet drivers for windows XP to NTFS Driver C: [01:39] MrKennie_, okay.. i'll have a go at http://www.startx.ro/sugar/isotostick.sh [01:39] :P [01:39] burner\-: the best of luck :) [01:40] thanks [01:40] i've got a problem if someone could help me, i took out my ipod from the usb port without ejecting it and the for the ipod is still on the desktop, i tried re-logging, rebooting, to re plug in the ipod and tried to unmount the icon on the desktop but nothing seems to work, i'm getting this output when i try to unmount "/sbin/umount.hal: /media/IPOD is not recognized by hal", if anyone could help it'd be greatly appreciated [01:40] *rebooting to linux* [01:40] Yacht okay..your router ip is 24-34-185-141..hide it :P [01:40] DEED: its not like i know where they are on your disks... [01:40] PhoenixUK: AFAIK, yes. I was thinking it was overheating, but the laptop itself never seems to get too hot while playing any of them. [01:40] DEED for example sudo cp win9x.exe where ever drivers go in ubuntu [01:40] Quick question: How would I go about creating an old-fashioned .IMG file (floppy image) from a directory? Is there some way of zipping files into an .IMG? [01:40] amenado: hey that's mine! stop that =P [01:40] jamus so here im at manual setting, have set 1 ext 3 partition to '/' second ext 3 to '/home' , and i have one swap partition but I cant access the mount point setting for it, there is noone in there [01:41] Areio: computers still have floppy drives? O_O [01:41] Areio-> dd [01:41] shadow420: i want to copy this R132254.EXE to /media ? [01:42] If they did, it would make my job a lot easier. ^^ I'm trying to boot Windows 1.01 via Sun's VirtualBox. I have the files themselves, I just need to get them into a bootable .IMG format. [01:42] DEED: copy it to ~/Desktop/ and you can see it on the desktop [01:42] hey, can someone help me out here. I installed wine on my system to try and run world of warcraft, it didn't work, so i removed it along with wine, however, wine is still showing in my applications menu. how do i totally remove it? [01:42] PhoenixUK: choose ''label'' and label it again as swap [01:42] Shpook you can run some stability tests, make sure you do a memtest and some artifact scanning on the GPU [01:42] j800r: How did you go about removing it? [01:42] maco i hawe it on ubuntu desktop i want to copy on NTFS part... C: [01:42] Hi all. Is there an easy way to setup a dual desktop with a second monitor plugged to a laptop running Ubuntu 8.04? [01:42] areio: add/remove [01:42] j800r-> apt-get remove --purge wine [01:42] jamus there isnt any option like that, should i delete it and do it again ? [01:42] PhoenixUK: or whatever there is to choose partition kind (dont remember) [01:43] And it's still showing up on the menu? [01:43] yes [01:43] DEED: oh then cp ~/Desktop/*.exe /media/disk/path/to/wherever/the/hell/it/goes [01:43] PhoenixUK: absolutly not [01:43] how can I install an older version of a package using aptitude? [01:43] j800r: Odd. Does it still function as a program? [01:43] areio not really [01:43] DEED: you can ls /media/disk (or wherever it is), and cd around a bit to see where your user's desktop is on the windows disk [01:43] jamus there is only 'mount point' which I can access in 2 other partitions, but in the swap one its grayed out [01:43] hagabaka-> you find the .deb file for it and use dpkg -i xxx.deb to install [01:43] PhoenixUK: should be a window with an aroow next to it [01:43] j800r: That is to say, can you actually use it to run Windows programs like you used to? [01:44] * j800r checks [01:44] PhoenixUK-> no mount needed for swap it auto create such [01:44] jamus its grayed out, cannot click anything [01:44] no [01:44] PhoenixUK: u hve to redifine it as swap [01:44] not at all [01:44] PhoenixUK-> no mount point needed for swap it auto create such [01:44] hagabaka, sudo aptitude install package=2.6.12 [01:44] amenado cool, cheers [01:44] hagabaka, 2.6.12 being the version you want to install [01:44] maco: cp: cannot create regular file `/media/R132254.EXE': Permission denied [01:44] unop: i used that but aptitude can't find the version [01:44] jamus it's defined as file system swap just without any mount point, amenado said its fine [01:45] and the version is in dpkg log so it shouldn't be wrong [01:45] j800r: Okay, just one more thing to check and see if it's still actually installed, and not just a stray menu entry. Go to System > Administration > Synaptec Package Manager. [01:45] hagabaka, well, the repos have to have that version available or aptitude won't be able to install it quite obviously [01:45] j800r: i think windows programs / wine install menu entries in some menu-xdg directory (it's a hidden dir) in your $HOME. So "find $HOME | grep menu-xdg". The look for the file that has been installed by wow and delete it yourself. [01:45] Help. How do I setup my desktop to stretch across two monitors? [01:45] DEED: sudo [01:45] does backports repo delete older versions? [01:45] hagabaka: generally, yes. [01:45] amenado should I tick them for formatting or just the system one ? [01:46] PhoenixUK: ok i didnt remember totaly sorry for missleading u ;D [01:46] dualmonitortroub-> look into xinerama [01:46] j800r: After you enter your password, go to the Search button. Type in "wine", and see what comes up. [01:46] hagabaka: apt-cache policy [01:46] hagabaka, it might -- but not usually [01:46] where can I find it then?

[01:46] hagabaka, apt-cache search package [01:46] PhoenixUK-> since it is first time, go ahead and tick em..to format a partition for swap use [01:46] i have the newer version installed already [01:46] areio: it doesn't mark any wine packages as installed [01:46] Any one successfully tunnel x11vnc through SSL? [01:46] i'm guessing it's just leftovers [01:46] hagabaka, apt-cache search package # lists all available versions [01:46] PhoenixUK: right , no munt for swap ,, well thats it dude [01:46] MrKennie: thinkpad r51 with a Radeon 7500 [01:47] amenado cannot format the swap one, just the other 2 [01:47] unop: it just prints packagename - description for me [01:47] PorkSoda-> no more different than any other vnc [01:47] j800r: open your home folder and type ctrl+h is .wine folder still there? [01:47] PorkSoda-> oops i read it as ssh [01:47] j800r: Okay, then it's (oddly enough >.> ...and I may be wrong...) a stray menu entry. Right-click on "Applications", and click "Edit Menus". [01:47] PhoenixUK: its ok do it as is [01:47] PhoenixUK: I could, but I also just found a bug in launchpad. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/177518 Seems to describe the exact same symptoms. [01:47] hagabaka: use the policy one i said. it lists versions and what repo they come from [01:47] Launchpad bug 177518 in linux "opengl total freeze using DRI with intel 945 graphics chip" [High,Fix committed] [01:47] most vnc apps don't offer it built in without using a stunnel setup and the like [01:47] Hello, all. do any model of usb cd/dvd writer work?

[01:48] amenado, right [01:48] maco: i'm not interested in that, i want an *older* version [01:48] PhoenixUK-> let the system take care of it..it will do what it has to do to make a swap partition [01:48] it only shows me the current versions on repositories [01:48] areio: and just uncheck wine? [01:48] dualmonitortroub: have you tried via system settings? [01:48] legend: i already deleted that folder [01:48] hagabaka: install the one you want, then lock version on it [01:48] hagabaka, then your older version is not available from the repos -- either backport or build from source [01:48] j800r: Yes, uncheck wine... although I'm not sure why it would still be there if you uninstalled wine properly. *shrugs* [01:49] DEED, what filesystem on /dev/sda1? [01:49] PorkSoda-> but you can start your x11vnc at the remote end, and just do a ssh -C -X -l username remotipaddress [01:49] hagabaka: http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com/2007/07/tip-lock-versions.html <-- how to lock versions [01:49] MrKennie: yes, it will only display same image on both monitors. How do I stretch a single desktop to both? [01:49] maco: i can't find the version I want, i just know the version string, and that it was installed a few days ago. now it's not in the cache either [01:49] unop: winxp [01:49] amenado in advanced later there is an option to tick 'Install boot loader' , then below, device for boot loader installation : and '(hd0)' is entered in the box, is should i leave it ticked and entered as it is ? [01:49] what am i doing wrong? I burned the CD, fixed the BIOS, but my Compaq Presario still will not boot. I have been looking around that others have been having problems with Compaq Presarios, but nothing is helping. [01:49] DEED, mount | grep -i sda1 # what filesystem listed by this command? [01:49] areio: the world of warcraft path is still there as well, so maybe it has something to do with that :\ [01:49] j800r: in the menu? [01:49] amenado, I know, I'd like to keep it all web app based, and I'd use the built in vino in that case.

[01:50] yes [01:50] hagabaka, what package and version are you looking for? [01:50] PorkSoda-> then you have to use a proxy for such [01:50] dualmonitortroub: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo [01:50] mm i think old version 6 [01:50] hagabaka: because if you go to http://archive.ubuntu.com/ you should be able to find it [01:50] PorkSoda-> then you have to use a proxy for such in your client that is* [01:51] flashplugin-nonfree 10.0.1.218+10.0.0.525ubuntu1~hardy1 [01:51] !version | DEED [01:51] DEED: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell [01:51] I am getting x11vnc to send accept SSL keys, but when I enter password, it closes connection without fail [01:51] hi [01:51] dr_willis: it's not just the ISO file [01:51] Incontinent Iguana...... i like it [01:51] ok i got amarok to "see' my ipod now i need help with getting amarok to sync my ipod. can anybody tell me a VERY SIMPLE way to do this?

[01:51] j800r: I don't know much about Wine (although I use it occasionally), but maybe the reason that the menu entry is still there is because you didn't uninstall WOW from within Wine before you uninstalled Wine itself. I could be wrong, but you never know. [01:51] unop: yes [01:51] PorkSoda-> wait a second, x11vnc server? or you meant the viewer? [01:51] it was in hardy-backports [01:51] has anyone gotten a usb cd writer to work? [01:52] areio: i deffinately uninstalled it through wine [01:52] it's the cdromupgrade, dists, doc, install, isolinux, md5sum.txt, pics, pool, preseed, README.diskdefine, and another ubuntu disc [01:52] acrousey, thats good then. :) [01:52] DEED, do not paste in here -- install the ntfs-3g package and remount the disk [01:52] it's kind of a shame, cause i only wanted it for world of warcraft, but ah well :| [01:52] hagabaka, and it is still - http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=hardy-backports&keywords=flashplugin-nonfree [01:52] unop i try apt-get install ntfs... but dont work [01:53] hagabaka, make sure you have the multiverse section of hardy-backports enabled [01:53] jamus alrighty its formatting the partitions now, hope it works this time, thanks for the help :) [01:53] dr_willis: could it still be the disc? [01:53] unop: that is 10.0.1.218+10.0.0.525ubuntu1~hardy1+really9.0.124.0ubuntu2, which is not the same version [01:53] DEED, not ntfs but ntfs-3g [01:53] deed apt-get install ntfs-3g === DBLobster is now known as U09526 [01:53] j800r: Then I can't be sure as to why it's still listed. ^_^ Removing the menu entry is a quick-fix which will just gloss it over, but there are probably still traces of it left around somewhere. [01:53] acrousey, could be i guess. You could try booting the disk in a different pc, or try a different live cd (like puppylinux) and seeif it boots the puppy cd [01:53] unop: E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied) [01:53] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root [01:53] DEED you are still running in liveCd right?

[01:54] amenado, No x11vnc server [01:54] hagabaka, well, you can search packages.ubuntu.com - that version does not exist anymore as far as i can see -- [01:54] DEED which ubuntu version? i was not paying attention, not sure if hardy liveCD had ntfs-3g drivers [01:55] hagabaka, are you sure you didn't get that version of a third party repo? [01:55] unop: i have the needed information in sources.list since that's how i got the older version installed in the last upgrade. after this upgrade it gave me a version that I don't want, and I would like the version from last upgrade [01:55] amenado: 7.04 [01:55] yes I am sure [01:55] amenado: feisty [01:55] I run x11vnc via: x11vnc -ssl SAVE -forever -usepw -httpdir /usr/share/vnc-java/ -httpport 3113 -https 3117, and get the SSL cert, but when I enter my password it says connection refused without fail [01:55] the version is in hardy-backports changelog [01:55] DEED the liveCD for that version does not include ntfs-3g then..so go ahead and install per the advise of others [01:55] *Repeating my original question:* How would one create an .IMG file (a floppy image) from a folder? Is there a program for this somewhere? [01:56] amenado: what to install?

[01:57] not installed ubuntu [01:57] and? [01:57] unop: the current version on repository is really 9.x, a revert from the last upgrade [01:58] xxploit: can i update ubuntu on liveCD?? [01:58] hagabaka, install 10.0.1 from adobe's tarball ?? [01:58] DEED, that command will just update your sources [01:58] PorkSoda-> how are you then using the SSL cert in your client side to pass along to the remote x11vncserver? [01:58] as the version number says, "really9.0.124.0..." [01:58] then rerun sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g === vanityvertig1 is now known as vanityvertigo [01:58] hagabaka: flashplugint-nonfree-9.0.124.0ubuntu2 is in hardy/multiverse repo [01:59] DEED the ntfs-3g is not on the liveCD! thats why they advised you to install via apt-get [01:59] kyncani, he want's 10.0.1 - the real thing [01:59] kyncani: sorry you probably need to read the backlog to help me [01:59] hi guys, i can't enter both OSs that i have. I have Ubuntu 8.04 and XP. When i start my computer GRUB gives this message: Error 22. and then it stops. I inserted the Ubuntu CD then after i chose the language i pressed F6 to enter the boot options then i wrote "rescue" then i got a lot of texts then the computer stops at Kernel Panic message. What should i do??? [01:59] what's the problem? [01:59] hagabaka, i would download the beta from abode's site and install it manually [02:00] amenado, All I do is go to my host:port and it asks to accept the SSL cert, which I do, then asks me to load the java VNC applet which I do, than login and it refuses me. [02:00] anybody know if its possible to make TeamSpeak [linux client] to stop with the echos when i talk to people? all they hear is echos from me. [02:00] oh, right, i though he wanted to downgrade. Well, you will have to wait until 10.0.1 is in backports again, or wait for 8.10 [02:00] But it works fine when I don't use SSL [02:00] When asked for primary domaine, must it be a registered domaine, or anything? [02:00] So firewall[s]/router etc is configured for sure [02:00] i don't get the point of putting an older package in backports to override an actual newer version in backports. people who wanted older packages should just pin it into the release repository [02:01] Areio: http://www.linux.com/forums/topic/1519 [02:01] rockyrock, error 22 means grub is pointed at a partition that does not exist anymore -- did you install windows recently? [02:01] PorkSoda-> not sure how your client works, but typically they would have options to use the certificate that is a *.pem file somewhere in your file folders.. [02:01] right. gnight to ya'all [02:01] rockyrock: I think this is a no partition error [02:01] how do i burn windows with compiz? [02:01] unop, no i didn't [02:01] Areio: as amenado said, use dd [02:01] hagabaka: must have been very broken for forcing a downgrade in backports [02:02] legend2440: I am still rather new at Ubuntu, and lines of code are rather hard to understand. [02:02] anyone now how to burn windows with compiz? [02:02] I can't connect to my WPA-encrypted network. It detects it's WPA, accepts the key, but fails when trying to DHCP. My router sends a DHCP lease, the system just won't accept it [02:02] hagabaka, there might have been some dependency issues that needed flashplugin-nonfree at version 10.0.1 - which is why they packaged 9.0 this way [02:02] unop, i installed XP about 6 months then before 3 weeks i installed ubuntu [02:02] MrKennie: what is dd? [02:02] Yes, I'm a quasi-noob. [02:02] PorkSoda-> it works fine without SSL because it x11vncserver can use the password to authenticate you right? [02:02] anyone know how to burn windows with compiz? [02:02] unop, i didn't even touched anything about the partitions! [02:03] I can't connect to my WPA-encrypted network. It detects it's WPA, accepts the key, but fails when trying to DHCP. My router sends a DHCP lease, the system just won't accept it [02:03] Zamadatx, after enabling burn effects - shift+winkey+left mouse button [02:03] rockyrock, not sure then, if yu have a live CD around you can repair grub [02:03] winky? [02:03] whats that??? [02:03] !grub | rockyrock [02:03] rockyrock: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [02:03] Zamadatx, Winkey typo [02:03] o lol [02:03] i made a mistake by installing from source and it doesnt work properly, so how would i go about removing it? [02:03] Areio-> to get manual on commands you issue a man man; man dd in a terminal [02:03] does the adobe installer install to the same location as flashplugin-nonfree? [02:03] I've just plugged in an extra hard drive. how do i see the contents of it? [02:03] ok i have to enable burn then [02:03] What would keep my system from DHCPing? [02:04] ubottu, i installed XP first [02:04] amenado, Well yes. with/without ssl x11vnc will auth the "pass" but then the ssl tunnel is the issue I believe. [02:04] rockyrock: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:04] I'm going to run it again, to grab errors [02:04] Areio: A *nix program for basically copying raw data and such [02:04] hagabaka, it does, but i just find it easier to extract the contents of the tarball somewhere and copy the libflashplugin.so file to /usr/lib/mozilla or /usr/lib/firefox - i don't like the installer script [02:04] unop, plz read the last post. I wrote this post. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=161006 [02:05] sensae-> DHCPing? a dhcp with a ping to touch? :p [02:05] unop, when u finish reading it plz tell me [02:05] Hi. I just got a used thinkpad x31. The network connector is an aironet cisco wireless. But Ubuntu does not seem to be seeing it. Any ideas? [02:05] armenado and MrKennie: Thanks, I've got a manual up. I'll give it a shot. :) [02:05] does anybody know if its possible to make TeamSpeak [linux client] to stop with the echos when i talk to people? all they hear is echos from me. [02:05] amenado: You can always parse it as Protocoling. [02:05] unop, i did a memtest and i got over 700 errors [02:05] rockyrock, ouch [02:05] /nick izmeh [02:05] Areio cool..thats the way to learn unix and linux [02:05] I've just plugged in an extra hard drive. how do i see the contents of it? === Granada is now known as izmeh [02:06] is there any way to get compiz to stay as a cube when u zoom out? [02:06] Areio: you can use it to create a blank image which you can use to create a filesystem on, mount and copy the files you need on there. [02:06] sensae oh okay, i thought its a new term i have not met before [02:06] rockyrock, doesn't look good -- if your memory modules are faulty, nothing's going to work as expected [02:06] Zamadatx: Compiz specific questions are probably better answered in the #compiz-fusion channel [02:06] xTOGx: in the "Places" menu somewhere [02:07] is there a way in terminal to open the current directory in a window? [02:07] how do you uninstall from source? [02:07] unop, so u suggest that it's a memory problem, the same what i found on the book that i'm reading from [02:07] pvl1, pm [02:07] octavius 'nautilus .' [02:07] Why would NetworkManager refuse to DHCP when a lease has been sent out for it's MAC?! This makes no sense [02:07] unop, but XP was working very good! [02:07] will00: you've installed something from source and now you want to remove it ? [02:07] Trying to install ubuntu on my toshiba satellite laptop. Doesńt work! First checking CD integrity --- OK. Then choosing install. takes a long time, uncompressing the kernel, showing a blue bullet going back and from. long time, no news , no progress report - nothing.Tjhen a black screen. have to reboot. What can be wrong??? [02:07] kyncani: yes [02:07] rockyrock-> why are you even using 5.10? that is way too old...btw error 22 means it can not find /boot/grub/stage15 files [02:08] unop, do u think that if i uninstall Ubuntu, XP will run again? [02:08] amarok can see ipod. amarok cant sync ipod becuz media is not playable for ipod but the same media is playable for ipod in windows [02:08] fbianconi, Thanks! [02:08] when i press ctrl alt winkey it makes ripple [02:08] s [02:08] unop, or should i replace my memory? [02:08] rockyrock, well if memtest is reporting errors with your memory -- then i would believe that somewhere along the line, something happened with your hardware - your memory and possibly more, and if memtest reports so many errors, it's possibly that nothing is going to work well [02:08] sensae try the manual way, dhcp ath0 assuming your nic is ath0 [02:08] sensae try the manual way, dhclient ath0 assuming your nic is ath0 [02:08] Hello [02:08] amenado, i use 8.04! [02:09] rockyrock, well, run memtest from another CD - if you have one, if you can, burn a memtest iso to CD and use that [02:09] will00: 1) you should not install from source. 2) if you install from source, "checkinstall" (it's a package) is supposed to handle these kind of problems. 3) there should be a README or INSTALL file with instructions for deinstalling [02:09] rockyrock, just to be sure [02:09] Why am I unable to connect to WPA-encrypted networks? [02:09] rockyrock-> your paste says 5.10 ? [02:09] amenado: sudo is needed with dhclient === bmk789 is now known as Guest92209 [02:09] rockyrock, if you still get errors, you ought to replace your memory modules [02:09] genii-> correct, any network related reconfiguration requires root priviledge [02:09] Hi? [02:09] lol [02:09] alguien habla español? [02:09] !es | mhardy [02:09] mhardy: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es.

Is there anyway around this? [02:10] Zamadatx, ctrl+alt+third mouse key [02:10] mhardy si, fijate en #ubuntu-es para el cancal hispano [02:10] * genii hands amenado a coffee [02:10] unop, cuz i can't reach the level to choose memtest from the Hard Disk [02:10] rockyrock, i figured, what i am getting at is that you want to rule out memtest reporting bogus info. [02:10] unop, i.e from GRUB [02:10] ok [02:10] rockyrock, can you use the live cd to boot up completely? [02:11] amenado: The command dhcp? Not found [02:11] HOw do i make that cube thingy come up on the screen, like that visual effect where it shows my desktops in a cube? [02:11] sensae try the manual way, sudo dhclient ath0 assuming your nic is ath0 [02:11] zkuut3r, , ctrl+alt+third mouse key [02:11] unop, i booted from the Ubuntu CD and i entered the Desktop [02:11] zkuut3r: do you want to know how to turn it on, or how to use it? === Diego[1] is now known as Syprox [02:11] amenado: Well, it assigned an IP. Not one even in my subnet though [02:11] rockyrock, have you tried mounting your partitions ? [02:12] Ive got my visual effects on max [02:12] how can i run jar files in firefox. i choose to open it with java web start but it only downloads the jar. any help? [02:12] just to use it [02:12] unop, yes i mounted them all, and they all work === bmk789__ is now known as bmk789 [02:12] sensae-> you have a second DCHP server running ? [02:12] Diego[1]: you can move windows with alt+leftbutton after you've disabled desktop effects (appearance menu somewhere in preferences i think). But if the resolution is wrong with the install cd, it will be wrong on the installed system ... [02:12] amenado: Nope [02:12] zkuut3r: you can click with the wheel on teh desktop and do it, or ctrl+alt+wheel like someone else said [02:12] Syprox: see ^ (Diego[1]) [02:13] Hey guys, I'm running AWN and I'm getting these odd vertical white lines on the right side of the dock. [02:13] sensae-> what is the name of your nic? and what was the ip addr assigned when you did a dhclient? [02:13] Nope not doing anything. [02:13] zkuut3r: if you have ccsm installed, you can go to the rotate cube settings and click on keybindings to view all the shortcuts [02:13] rockyrock, just try repairing grub then -- see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=254845 [02:13] amenado: I'm not even associated to any AP, let alone my own. The name is eth1, it assigned 192.168.0.something, my subnet is 10.0.0.1/24 [02:13] kyncani: thing is I can't disable desktop effects without having it installed, right? [02:14] unop, what about the memtest errors?? [02:14] bueno en los servers en castellano no hay nadie escribiendo solo tenia una duda como configurar el audio para GYachi y si hay algun protector anti booters [02:14] unop, do they affect anything?

[02:14] Syprox: well, in 8.04, you may not even have to disable it and moving windows with alt+leftbutton may work [02:14] they slide in and out when minimized, closed etc. [02:14] Hey guys, I'm running AWN and I'm getting these odd vertical white lines on the right side of the dock. anyone have this problem? [02:14] OK [02:14] amenado: Yes [02:15] rockyrock, well, they could be real - they also could be bogus if the CD you burned is somehow faulty/corrupt and memtest isn't working properly -- in any case, you should get another memtest CD (you can get a dedicated one) and run tests again to make sure [02:15] help....how come i can see other people's shares when i do 'smbclient -L 127.0.0.1' http://paste.ubuntu.com/27193/ [02:15] kyncani: Thanks a lot, I'm going to try that and see if I can install iit [02:15] join #java [02:15] Syprox: np, the resolution will be wrong on the installed system too though [02:15] hi all, i kinda just screwed up my X [02:15] sensae can you paste in pastebin your iwconfig ; ifconfig and result of dhclient eth1 ?

[02:16] unop, so should i use a dedicated memtest CD> [02:16] ?

[02:16] when i reboot my pc, it starts x in low graphics mode and says it cant detect the drivers, could anyone please help me fix it :/ [02:17] rockyrock, i would recommend, that - if you can,. yes [02:17] kincani: Damn.. should I even bother with the install, then? I'm just doing it because somebody recommended it... [02:17] Syprox: so you may consider using 7.10 (which is not old), and try 8.10 when it's out [02:17] unop, and what if i got the same results? [02:17] kyncani: Ok, I'm going to download 7.10 then [02:18] rockyrock, you had better replace memory then - unfortunately [02:18] Syprox: as for the should i bother installing, that would be your decision [02:18] unop, so my problem with GRUB isn't about memory??? [02:18] DeFi: do you know what graphics card you have? [02:18] how can i recover my drivers, my x is really messed up now [02:18] kyncani: Well, I mean, if there's no way to fix the resolution after I've installed it, why bother... I'm gonna download 7.10, then [02:18] unop, cuz my partitions all work! [02:18] Does anyone know how to get a Java Applet working in Firefox?

[02:20] Syprox: yeah, in 8.04, there's a big improvement in the graphical handling (xorg) that's supposed to detect and use an optimum screen resolution, but when it does not work, then it's a mess to specify a resolution to use. ... [02:20] MrKennie_: the last thing i think i did was sudo /etc/init.d/kde(something) start [02:20] amenado, where is about? [02:20] #ubuntu-br [02:20] and then i had to reboot [02:20] :< [02:20] on Firefox? [02:20] DeFi: I see [02:20] L1nc01n-> affirmative [02:20] DeFi: and how is it messed up?

You'll need to pass the -c flag to it. [02:24] amenado, I don't see it [02:24] next q [02:24] Flannel: yeah, well, i suppose d3v|2 will be able to handle that ;) [02:24] I just did a dist-upgrade to hardy from gutsy, and I have no sound - alsamixer shows proper levels for pcm / master, all of the 'modules' packages for my kernel (2.6.24-19-generic) are installed, and.. why yes.. my speakers are even on. [02:25] i read that 8.04 comes with x-chat [02:25] any ideas what else I can try?

[02:25] d3v|2: Not installed by default, but xchat-gnome and xchat are in the repos. [02:25] MrKennie_: the default ones [02:25] kk [02:25] amenado: It's never been associated before :) [02:25] Kinks: you can try the livecd and see if you have sound. If you do, double-triple-check the volumes and all [02:25] L1nc01n-> so you must have the java installed on your system === B47|away is now known as Bradj47 [02:25] sigh, I don't have the live cd for hardy.

[02:28] amenado, well I think I do. I was trying to access H drive at school remotely from the web like I used to on Windows, but I just switched to Linux, and it said I needed to install the plugin... so I did and now it acts like it loads (it says "starting applet" in the status bar) but then it doesn't do anything [02:28] Kinks: if they work with the live cd, then it's a volume / config thingie somewhere and not a driver pb [02:28] Kinks, apart from the levels, are they all on? [02:29] DeFi: ah ok, you should have ati or radeon as drivers options yes?

[03:22] _xyz, probably, ask in #wine or #winehq (I forget which one) [03:22] Mcshane: I want to install Vista on it!! i have the CD for it [03:22] <_xyz> ahh [03:23] That is everything!:) [03:23] Troski: when you disable sata - you fundamentally change how the device looks to both windows in vista -- you'd have to rewrite the bootloader each time you switch back and forth [03:23] flatman ok, what we'll try is moving that file out of the way, and then checking dpkg's status. sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0044 ~/Desktop [03:23] Mcshane: When i put the vista CD in my drive it just hangs on the first screen [03:23] not a big problem at the moment, but my shift and caps lock key aren't working all of sudden. any ideas/ [03:24] Troski: seriously though, you should keep sata enabled [03:24] shiv1285, that sounds like a problem that you should be able to solve in the #windows channel [03:24] see you all, bye [03:24] Is there any way to switch users and login to a different session using the same account? [03:24] this time it's 0045 [03:24] moderatelybc: whenever a key (or group of them) stops working on my keyboard i tend to punch the whole keyboard aggressively. when i don't break the keyboard it works 100% of the time. [03:25] so if sata0 is disabled and sata1 and 2 are enabled it wont boot [03:25] flatman that's the only file there? [03:25] Mcshane: What is #windows channel [03:25] what do you mean? Where's there [03:25] shiv1285, its a channel about Microsoft Windows, you know the other operating system... [03:25] McShane: you have any idea? [03:25] flatman you said the file name was 0045 , is that the only file in that updates directory? [03:25] meh ;/ [03:26] no [03:26] flatman you said yes earlier :) ls /var/lib/dpkg/updates , put the output on the pastebin [03:27] so could i change my ubuntu hd to sata0 and change the loader to hd0?

[03:35] I have a question. sounds pretty absurd but I only want an opinion. Is there anyway that the 64bit version could have a 32 bit subsystem just like 32 bit os's have subsyst. for 16bit? Or at least to be able to swap between kernels without actually lose settings (except of course the one that are in conflict). [03:35] does uvcvideo have an audio driver in it?

Guess not. [03:41] SebNaitsabes, best not to refer users to google; we are smarter [03:41] i just read a website with tips about ubuntu, is it a good idea to change my kernel to 686? [03:41] Tim-S, one can prey once you develop a new OS it's open source and available to masses :D [03:41] bob3213243_: Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH#VNC%20+%20SSH [03:41] DeFi: There is no -686 kernel. -generic is the one you want [03:41] Tim-S, keep in mind it is not a support channel [03:41] SebNaitsabes google fu like kung-fu, takes training and experience to do it well ;) [03:41] I'm not looking for support, just some advice [03:41] nickrud: Good. Okay. I have two harddrives in my computer. A small 6gig I used as the boot drive and a big 200gig a mounted as /home. [03:41] bazhang: this isnt really support [03:42] ya... [03:42] whats "VideoOverlay" "on" in xorg.conf? [03:42] Flannel: Ubuntu will install a 386 kernel for x86 machines, which probably isn't what you'd want if you've got a Pentium II or better CPU. The 386 kernel is compiled to work with just about any x86 CPU, but extensions that appear in later CPUs can give your system a boost, if they're taken advantage of. To replace the kernel, open Synaptic or Adept and search for linux-image. You'll see several choices. Pick the one that best sui [03:42] nickrud: whatever that means [03:42] sorry for long paste [03:42] Fezzler and you did another install, and ended up with two hardy installs you said? [03:42] nickrud: my upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy was buggy. So I downloaded complete Hardy CD and reinstalled. [03:42] nickrud: Yes. [03:43] DeFi: No. Ubuntu installs the generic kernel by default. That website is outdated (by 20 months) [03:43] SPYderZ, I see audio conferencing and it has Sound Playback (set to autodetect) and Sound capture, set to ALSA [03:43] Flannel: ok, thanks :p [03:43] L1nc01n, you can try the options and test - [03:43] test [03:43] SPYderZ, you are asking about 32 vs 64bit ubuntu? [03:43] haha, only looked at the date now.. June 21, 2006 [03:43] Fezzler ok, when you boot up ubuntu, the one that boots would be the latest (assuming you didn't do anything special). If you look at /boot/grub/menu.lst, the new install will be above the line with END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC , and the older should be below that line [03:43] SPYderZ, none of them respond on the sound capture [03:43] nickrud: Here is what I'd like to do if possible. Keep the new Hardy boot install on the 6gig. Delete the old and give all its space to the new. And again mount the existing /home on the 200gig. Possible? [03:43] whats "VideoOverlay" "on" in xorg.conf? [03:44] bazhang: ya basicly [03:44] nickrud: the error output is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/27201/ [03:44] nickrud: Yes, it boots to the new install. [03:44] L1nc01n, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 <-try some suggestions inthis page otherwise there is good highly detailed guide for pulseaudio google [03:44] actually im asking if the 64bit has 32 bit subsystem why is everyone complaining [03:44] nickrud: Is it possible to do what I want to do? [03:44] okay thanks [03:44] flatman I need all the output, not just the end [03:45] Fezzler: when new kernels are installed (assuming you didn't do something differnet from the default) they will keep on adding them to Grub. or the menu.lst if you like. then you can remove the kerenls your self and they will not be in menu.lst anymore [03:45] hi, I'm trying to install my netgear wg111t USB wireless, and I used ndiswrapper like the forum suggested, but I can't connect! [03:45] SPYderZ, unless you have huge amounts of ram or want to do heavy video compositing, no real advantage to using 64bit at this point; the 32bit generic kernel does fine with 64bit cpu [03:45] nickrud: I have nothing on the old upgraded install that I can't live without [03:45] back [03:45] Fezzler yes, but first determine which partition is which. [03:45] making bot less noisy [03:45] nickrud: Okay. How? [03:45] bazhang: see this is what i don't get.... 64 bit OS's are good for 64bit CPU's . and yes.. memory is not a problem [03:45] Fezzler another way to tell is to look at /etc/fstab. one will be mounted on / , the other somewhere in media [03:46] im jsut asking why compatibility problems [03:46] nickrud: I do have Gnome Partition Editor installed [03:46] nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27202/ [03:46] Fezzler later for that [03:46] SPYderZ: usaully people say better to go with 32bit Ubuntu than 64bit Ubuntu even on 64bit proccessor, because of certain issues with 64bit Ubuntu [03:46] sry [03:46] wrog channel [03:46] if i have windws xp and buntu on one pc , and my bootloader is the windows xp bootloader , how i can start ubuntu ? ( my qersion is not how to recover grub ) i just need to start it once ? [03:46] nickrud: okay, I will look at /etc/fstab [03:47] if i want to run 2 or 3 xservers at once am i going to have to use 2 or 3 different user accounts? [03:47] CoddEr: the Windows boot loader can be edited so it will boot Ubuntu [03:47] CoddEr: Grub can be re installed by using a Live CD [03:47] SebNaitsabes , i dont want to do this , i want to start the ubuntu that its on my hd with ubuntu live cd with some command ... possibly ? [03:48] OK there's this website in Firefox (Win XP) I open the page and it maximizes itself and gets rid of my menu bar and bookmark bar. But when I run the same page in Ubuntu Linux Firefox it does the same thing but also gets rid of my *title bar* with the minimize/maximize/close on it... Any ideas how I can get that min/max/close bar not to disappear? [03:48] flatman do sudo dpkg --purge clamav-base clamav-freshclam clamav clamtk [03:48] CoddEr: yes when on the Live CD I belive it's just a command to re install Grub, not sure what the command is though [03:48] how do i add a directory to LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable [03:48] CoddEr: I re installed Grub myself, before, but it was a while ago so [03:48] nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27203/ [03:49] SebNaitsabes , i dony want to reinstall grub ...

[03:53] so how i can start it now [03:54] CoddEr: however with a boot loader you get advantages such as recovery mode and memtest86 and all the kernels you have installed by default listed there [03:54] cuz now i have the windows bootloader ... [03:54] CoddEr: that's with Grub [03:54] flatman you're welcome [03:54] flatman you can just delete those other files now [03:54] nickrud: Is that what you needed? [03:54] SebNaitsabes i know what are the advantages of bootloader i have many pcs with linux [03:54] ok how with grub ? [03:54] CoddEr: how do you boot Ubuntu? [03:54] Fezzler yes. I think I know what I'm seeing here. sdb1 was the old install, and sdb5 is the new? [03:55] CoddEr: yes you can get Grub installed and it will go over your MBR. getting rid of the Windows boot loader. and it will be able to boot Windows as well [03:55] For some reason my icons are not coming up anymore. I have items that state: ".desktop" Anyone know why? [03:56] anyone know how to fix the problem with modprobe ndiswrapper giving the error FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found in Hardy?

[03:56] nickrud: I guess I don't know for sure [03:56] CoddEr: what do you mean start Ubuntu once? [03:56] Fezzler erm, let me repeat: sdb5 is the new, sdb1 is the /home you want (both on the 200gb) , and sda1 is the old install on the 6gb [03:57] Fut_, none of the icons are showing [03:57] CoddEr: the Windows boot loader can be edited to be able to boot Ubuntu as well as I put before [03:57] Nope. [03:57] hi... === guest is now known as Guest26120 [03:58] SebNaitsabes , i need to start it once in a 2-3 mounths so i dont want to use even grub i just need to load it once in sometime so how i can ?

[03:58] Anyone knows if I can configure epiphany to use proxy server ? [03:58] hi... [03:58] nickrud: I want the 6g to be the ONLY boot partition and give all the remaining HD space to the new hardy install. Delete the old install. Then once again redirect or remount the 200g as /home [03:58] (without makes all my system use proxy) [03:58] CoddEr: you just want the Windows boot loader to be able to boot Ubuntu, without it using Grub to boot Ubuntu I see [03:58] how do i add to environment variables [03:59] CoddEr: not sure, this could be one that is more for the #windows channel since it's about editing the Windows boot loader so it can do what you want [03:59] nickrud: The old boot image(?) on the 6g is the buggy upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy. The new is a new Hardy install. [03:59] Fezzler we need to make sure we're using the same terminology. You want the 6gb (sda) to be the ubuntu install and it's swap, and all of the 200gb (sdb) to be /home [03:59] SebNaitsabes no i want to enter somehow to ubuntu with changing any bootloader or the mbr [03:59] Anyone knows if I can configure epiphany to use proxy server ? (without makes all my system use proxy) [04:00] nickrud: Yes [04:00] CoddEr: well then the link that whoever it was gave you. making a Grub boot floppy or USB or CD [04:00] CoddEr: you will need Grub to boot Ubuntu [04:00] <|Juan|> need help here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/244737 [04:01] Launchpad bug 244737 in gdm "Multiple users login crash" [Undecided,New] [04:01] there is not a command that can start ubuntu on some partition ? [04:01] hello [04:01] CoddEr: I think you would be better off editing the Windows boot loader so it can also boot Ubuntu instead of making a Grub boot floppy/CD/DVD/USB key [04:01] I just upgraded to 8.04 LTS & now wireless networking is broken. [04:01] hey guys [04:01] CoddEr: the WIndows boot loader as in a menu? [04:01] nickrud: Let's just double check we save the right boot partition and delete the correct old one. [04:01] i found a nice bug in gnome [04:01] whats "VideoOverlay" "on" in xorg.conf? [04:01] CoddEr: when I say Windows boot loader I mean a menu, where it will let you select operating systems [04:02] never drag a autohid bar over a none hiding bar [04:02] Fezzler ok. You can copy over the install from sdb5 to sda1, and delete sdb2,5 and 6 and resize the sdb1 to take the whole disk. However, it's been a very long time since I moved around an install like that (2003?04?). [04:02] I have booted in to my hardy hareon live cd and was wondering if there was a way I can login to my old fresty system before upgrading [04:02] I did it once a long time ago [04:02] nickrud: This possible? The 200g mounted as /home should be easy and give me all my users back. That's why I set it up that way. [04:02] but I for got [04:02] SebNaitsabes not i mean something likee this , enter any live cd , start grub , and then NOT to install it , just to use it to start some kernel [04:02] CoddEr: Grub 2.0 not tryed it yet, but that will be much better than the Windows boot loader and be able to boot Windows and Ubuntu [04:02] pvl1: video overlay are often used to display some info on screen without affecting whatever is shown underneath it, just like subtitles over a movie. [04:02] how do you reset gnome? [04:03] pvl1: is* often === Pickle_Weasel is now known as pw- [04:03] CoddEr: why do you want to do that, because your worried things will mess up if you do things with boot loaders? [04:03] nickrud: Let's go for it. I have nothing on the boot HD (6g) to lose. All my users and data are on the 200g [04:03] LiMaO, should i also turn on opengl overlay? im trying to get my gl stuff to work again, i had trem running fine but now its all ewy [04:03] Anyone knows if I can configure epiphany to use proxy server ? (without makes all my system use proxy) [04:03] SebNaitsabes no [04:03] CoddEr: why then? [04:03] Fezzler possible. But, it would probably be faster to reinstall ubuntu to sda1, after resizing the sdb (200gb) in the live cd. [04:03] SebNaitsabes i know how to config windows boot loader and grub [04:04] pvl1: 1st thing to know is what did you do to break it? [04:04] SebNaitsabes i just dont want that any body will see that in this pc there is linux [04:04] <|Juan|> need help here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/244737 [04:04] Launchpad bug 244737 in gdm "Multiple users login crash" [Undecided,New] [04:04] nickrud: How do I do that? Why would I need to even touch the 200g [04:04] So that didn't work. It booted me out. [04:04] Codder: you can make a bootable device CD/DVD/floppy/USB stick that can boot Ubuntu [04:05] nickrud: Is there a way to tell on the install..."Use the entire disk." (I thought I did that :) ) [04:05] ionstorm6, rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity (be warned it will be like entering gnome for the first time all settings/configs will be erased) [04:05] SebNaitsabes , ok this is the only option ? [04:05] Fezzler you don't need to, you could simply designate sdb1 as /home during the install (ask for manual partitioning). But if you delete the sdb2,5, & 6 and expand the sdb1, you'd get all the disk for /home [04:05] LiMaO, no idea, i had envyng install my driver for me first and it was all good, then in rsetricted drivers, it said in use but wasnt checked, so i chcked it, then trem and other games stop running, compiz was fine. then i used envyng, nothing changed, now i chose restricted again and its ewy. compiz nor games run. i have a readon 2600 HD [04:05] SebNaitsabes i mean whawt i wanted to do cant be done ? [04:05] nickrud: Clearly it saw another op sys and created a new partition.

[04:07] Fezzler You can't wire up the computer when running the live cd? [04:07] Shujah: nope. When I click on the icons, a script comes up.

[04:09] LiMaO, i cant disable the restricted driver [04:09] Anyone? [04:09] Im trying to figure out why exactly MPD stops when i shut off GNOME, It shouldnt, But...

There's a possibility of data loss. So, what we'll do is start the installer. You'll do all the step up to the partitioning. Tell me when you get there.

[04:56] lol [04:56] I've gone through network manager, but it doesn't give me net. I put in my WPA code, set it to shared code, DHCP, no dice [04:56] *flash 10 [04:56] not a clue try xmpp4moz maybe [04:57] did you check /etc/network/interfaces file? [04:57] me?

[04:59] the settings for the nic [04:59] hello [04:59] hi pal [05:00] does new version of ubuntu work with sagem fast modem ? [05:00] an usb modem [05:00] I'm showing: [05:00] ive tried practically everything I could to get flash working with sound and cannot figure it out for the life of me [05:00] iface wlan0 inet dhcp [05:00] wpa-psk [05:00] wpa-driver wext [05:00] wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK [05:00] Aaron2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:01] someguy222 have you rebooted-i have problems with flash sometimes, reboot seems to cure it (i assume you tried) [05:01] someguy222: sudo aptitude install libflashsupport [05:01] PainThinner, google soft/win modem linux + your model no [05:01] PainThinner - by the looks of it, from the google results (which you could have done0 - no [05:01] http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/4864/ [05:01] It all looks okay, doens't iit? [05:01] yeah I tried [05:01] :/ [05:02] the wiki says not to apt-get libflashsupport as it doesnt support OSS [05:02] ? [05:02] Can seem to config my card in my laptop to talk to my router. Any words of wisdom this eve? [05:02] someguy222: not sure about the OSS thing, but it's fixed flash sound on every ubuntu box I've tried it on [05:03] someguy222, also try switch to flash-nonfree its more stable [05:03] the drive is now empty [05:03] its asking me to remove oss-linux [05:03] which I can't do [05:03] flashnon-free huh [05:03] where you ssh -X -Y susebox & run vmware server console, and power on 2 server at once X windows on Ubuntu crashes. [05:03] someguy222, yeah search for it [05:04] I presume that you want me to attach a log of some sort and file a bug report... so where what and how? [05:04] or just upgrade to flash10, where sound works without libflashsupport [05:05] flash10b2 is more stable for me than flash9 final ever was [05:05] I just uninstalled flash10 [05:05] mapp I need to install 2 files first ? [05:06] I think that it is a crying shame, just like BSOD to allow X to crash [05:06] i had no sound with flash10 [05:06] someguy222: you installed it by compiling and copying the .so? [05:06] yeah [05:06] nobody cares? [05:06] k [05:06] and i got nothing [05:06] weird, i'm using it right now [05:06] 64-bit ubuntu with an x-fi? [05:06] Hi, I'm installing Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop from the LiveCD, and I would to verify that in the advanced settings on step 7, the http proxy is for apt (only). [05:06] oss? [05:07] no, alsa and pulseaudio [05:07] i can try to switch my engine to oss and see [05:07] I am not good at computers :P [05:07] yeah im oss only in order to get the xfi working [05:07] i think that might be why [05:07] but i cant figure out why everything else works but flash [05:08] I just installed HH and all updates, now I have a Blank Disk Icon on the desktop that shouldn't be there as I don't have a Blank Disk in either drive. Further, I can't open my DVD burner ... likely related. I saw another post that cured this with a reboot. No to for me. [05:08] ok i switched to oss, going to restart ff and try it [05:08] k [05:08] well your alsa and pureaudio work [05:09] mine dont [05:09] just oss [05:09] Is the only use for the http proxy in the GUI 8.04 desktop installer for apt? [05:09] brad2_, sudo fdisk -l how many cdroms you see? [05:09] ff worked, wonder if it used the oss tho [05:09] thats what i was gonna say yea [05:09] someguy222: i think pulseaudio can use oss. [05:09] hey guys what's a good and lightweight UML modeling tool for gnome? [05:09] pulse reports an error when testing in the sound manager [05:10] i dont want a fully fledged IDE, just a UML modeling tool [05:10] someguy222: prob needs to be configured to use oss... [05:10] Shujah none at all just my HDD partitions [05:10] how would i update vbox from 1.5 to 1.6 do i uninstall 1.5 and reinstall 1.6 - i dont have the headers to install guest additions [05:10] how can I do that? again im a total noob [05:10] hey all! any lawyers in here? [05:10] someguy222: I don't know. [05:10] I cant write the file to disk.it is too big [05:11] dowload file [05:11] someguy222: Ashfire908 is correct, start OSS apps with "padsp " to use pulseaudio [05:11] oh sorry that weas terminal > cd /media ls [05:11] banisterfiend I try a long ago umbrello, it wasn't quite stable, but I'm talking like 2 years ago [05:11] looking to remaster ubuntu similar to the way Dell did. Trying to get restricted format support for my customers, even if I haveto pay for it. [05:11] someguy222: I just know pulseaudio ties things like oss and alsa together with apps. yeah, there you go. [05:12] ok i just tested it and selecting alsa works apparently [05:12] not sure how that happened [05:12] someguy222: pulseaudio -L module-oss [05:12] teamtrimble: you mean the dvd stuff? [05:12] Shujah : cdrom cdrom0 cdrom1 [05:13] it keeps saying device or resource busy [05:13] Ashfire908, that, and mp3 and such. i believe that fluendo sells the legal (USA) codecs, but not for DVD. I heard there's a LinDVD product for that [05:13] but nothings open :/ [05:13] teamtrimble: I know there is a restricted extras package, if that is what you are talking about, which is free (as in beer, not freedom). [05:14] cat /etc/fstab |grep cdrom returns both drives with udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 [05:14] on /dev/scd0 and 1 [05:14] brb [05:15] Ashfire908, I don't think that it's legal in the USA, I know where it is, but the last thing I want is for the RIAA to come after me or my customers. [05:16] damn it [05:16] Ashfire908, Personally, I think that it sucks, but as a business owner, i have more concerns than the average joe :) [05:16] compiz hates me [05:16] brad2_, you didnt use any image manipulating software like acetonel? [05:16] it freezes my system [05:16] mac-p200, what hw do you have? [05:16] Espeak will not run for me -- it says it can not read the data file. [05:16] ? === mac-p200 is now known as macgyverdgi [05:17] mac-p200, hoping i can offer some help [05:17] Shujah, nope its a fresh install from the 8.04-1 alternate cd [05:17] plus updates [05:17] teamtrimble, may I PM u ? === owner is now known as scho [05:17] teamtrimble: it is legal.

[05:19] teamtrimble: there is a a libdvdcss package somewhere, it will deencrypt dvds so they can be played, which is alos legal. [05:19] !dvdcss [05:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about dvdcss [05:19] teamtrimble: If this stuff wasn't legal, a lot of people would have gotten sued already or something [05:19] !libdvdcss [05:19] 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 [05:19] brad2_, it's a bug the dvd writer not being picked there is a work around but you'll have to get your hands dirty. [05:20] someguy222: you did have it working under ALSA just yet no ? [05:20] Shujah i dont have a problem getting my hands dirty, im not afraid of the terminal or anything like that ive been using linux awhile [05:21] espeak will not run for me, it says that it can not read the data files and exits with a segmentation fault. Can anyone help? [05:21] Ashfire908, I don't know. Why do we get the warnings about not being legal in USA and same for libdvdcss if it's legal? [05:21] brad_ ok then open grub\menu.lst and after defoptions add this line all_generic_ide=1 , reboot and see if dvd-w works [05:21] Ashfire908 it's a bit off topic, but http://www.experiencefestival.com/a/Jon_Lech_Johansen_-_The_DeCSS_prosecution/id/5193006 [05:22] !wubi [05:22] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting.

[05:27] its ok [05:27] I ran went to check the cd for defects but it does nothing [05:27] prolly the media on burn [05:27] just wish I could get the damned thing fixed [05:27] dru, dude that doesnt sound like a problem of mini/maxi windows? [05:27] check with the md5 [05:27] shujah: sometimes i dont even minimize it or maximize it .. i can just switch to a different window and it does [05:28] someguy222: i was going to suggest taking another stab at getting pulseaudio working, with the help of http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup & http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 .. flash 10 works just fine on pulseaudio once you get that configured, perhaps it's worth another shot [05:28] the cd spins the light on the cd rom starts blinking but nothing [05:28] teamtrimble there's a theory that it's illegal under the dmca, but it's never gone to court [05:28] teamtrimble: i don't really either, though i assume there is some place you can contact... [05:28] did the iso check good? [05:28] hi, i am using ubuntu 8.04. i have all the multimedia codecs installed.

[05:29] espeak will not run for me, it says that it can not read the data files and exits with a segmentation fault. Can anyone help? [05:29] Phantom155K so it may be a bad burn. do an md5 sum check, and if the iso passes that, try burning again at a very slow speed. See the following for how to check md5sum [05:29] shujah: i got it .. im looking now [05:29] !md5 | Phantom155K [05:29] Phantom155K: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [05:29] My youtubes have no audio either [05:29] someguy222: that was what made me think your pulseaudio config isn't properly configured, but this is a guess, as wild as they come :) [05:29] teamtrimble: i think/assume the multiverse repo is legal in the us.

[05:48] pteeb right click panel, select add to panel, and add the notification area [05:48] notification area! thats what it is [05:48] thank you nickrud , my SAVIOR [05:48] acrousey try a known bootable disk to verifiy [05:48] pteeb yeah, I do not know why they changed the name from systray, everyone calls it that [05:49] scho: known being the Windows disc that it came with? [05:49] Fox news pateneted the name/phrase [05:49] pteeb did you changed window manager (compiz/metacity) ? [05:49] possibly [05:49] ah [05:49] scho: I think that worked but i did it from within the window, more of a reboot than a boot [05:49] Faux News again [05:50] I got a pressed Ubuntu cd that had problems once [05:50] usually it's a media problem or burn if the hardware is newish [05:50] is firefox crashing when saving files for anyone else? [05:51] scho: I was thinking that my burning clients were not letting me do it [05:51] yeah [05:51] scho: sucks... [05:51] acrousey If trying to boot up a Dell or HP, you need toburn the CD's very slowly [05:51] like in security? [05:51] can anyone download and install oss 4? [05:51] Jack_sparr: what about a Compaq Presario? [05:51] slow burn is always a good rule [05:52] would that work for toast titanium? [05:52] acrousey Not sure, but slow burn will eliminate that as a possibility [05:52] oh you aren't on windows? [05:52] hey i have a question how do i bring up back my wireless connection? [05:52] i'm on my laptop which is a MacBook [05:53] but the computer that I want to tinker with is a Compaq Presario with WinME [05:53] hey i have a question how do i bring up back my wireless connection? [05:53] Is it ok to recompress a gzip file like this?: gzip < harddrive.gz | bzip2 > harddrive.bz2 [05:53] oh I'm not much on mac but same basics [05:53] yeah [05:53] hey, how big is a ubuntu install now? [05:53] espeak will not run for me, it says that it can not read the data files and exits with a segmentation fault. Can anyone help? [05:53] but I figure it is time to learn to do this kind of stuff, so i want to tinker [05:54] BenniBoya I have about 4.1gb used, not counting /home. Fair amount of extra stuff installed, but not kde or xubuntu [05:54] fr500: the only time it did that for me was with an incompatible add-on i made compatible via nightly tester tools .. using any of those ? [05:54] so, slower speeds, like what? [05:54] make sure it's booting from cd first in bios [05:54] glitsj16: nope [05:55] would 1x bee too slow? [05:55] acrousey 4x 8x etc [05:55] 4x is lowest possible here [05:55] acrousey, was that "yeah" to my question about recompressing gzip or was it unrelated? [05:55] 8x is what I use mostly [05:55] 2x? [05:55] acrousey I have had no issues with 4x [05:55] fr500: okay, any specific errors when running firefox from terminal and letting it crash ? [05:55] the media prolly won't go to 1x [05:55] letme check [05:55] Aaron_ you should be able to left click the network icon in the systray and select a network [05:55] i have the 2x option with toast [05:56] yeah 2 or 4 or 8x [05:56] alright [05:56] acrousey make sure you are burning as image and not as a file [05:56] nickrud, can you tell me the application name though? [05:56] I think it's disc at once [05:56] or session at once [05:56] i've been burning with an option of ISO 9660 [05:57] glitsj16: just segfaults [05:57] yes [05:57] does it need to be a CD-RW? [05:57] not really [05:57] acrousey Do you see one file *.iso on the cd or many files folders [05:57] good q [05:57] Aaron_ NetworkManager handles network connections in ubuntu, but you don't run it directly. nm-applet is the control system, it's the thing I was saying to click. If you don't see it in the systray, hit alt-f2 and run nm-applet --sm-disable to get it back [05:57] Jack_Sparr: I see .iso [05:58] acrousey then you are burning it wrong [05:58] lols thats why [05:58] !isoburn [05:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about isoburn [05:58] !burniso [05:58] To burn an ISO image of a CD in Linux, Mac OS or Windows, read the howto at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [05:59] fr500: not very usefull but thanks for trying .. experiencing the same starting it via firefox -safe-mode ? [05:59] jack_sparr: no, I was burning it right, I know what you mean, i am not burning the one file but all of them from the .iso [05:59] Hello, is there an LVM expert here? [06:00] right usually its like burn image to disc [06:00] whawhat i do is i open the .iso file and in the finder window say "toast it" so i burn within the folder than just the folder [06:00] anyone here had tried to do module programming in ubuntu? [06:01] should be an option to burn an image [06:02] so it will be bootable [06:02] but does it need to be CD-RW? [06:02] no [06:02] naw [06:03] if you are practicing [06:03] good, you guys have no idea how many CD-R's i've gone through today [06:03] is that a newer pc? [06:03] like 4 or 5 [06:03] that sux [06:03] al gore would hate me [06:03] hi, my webcam is working perfectly in luvcview, but in kopete 1) in configure the image looks like double vision and is otherwise garbled, and 2) when i try to start a webcam session, it tells me it can't find jasper even though it's installed [06:03] does anyone know what's going on? [06:03] as much as i hate him? [06:04] !o4o [06:04] Some things are inappropriate for #ubuntu.

Microsoft software in ##windows (Please note Freenode Policy) [06:04] sorry [06:04] was that for us?

[06:05] Does anyone know how to remove a dead drive from an LVM without replacing the drive? [06:05] i guess [06:05] nah, it was scho's answer that tripped the wire. I love talking politics, just not here [06:06] yeah, sorry about that again [06:06] espeak will not run for me, it says that it can not read the data files and exits with a segmentation fault. Can anyone help? [06:06] Does anyone know how to get grub looking/working like this -> http://www.elblogdemaverick.com/uploads/ubugrey.png [06:06] Hi, I have a problem with LTSP, I have attached a printer to a terminal, and set it up correctly (I think) but it isn't printing. :( I keep getting a "printer not connected" error. Any Ideas whats wrong. [06:06] does the bot pickup on global warming scam talk?

[06:07] VvWolverinevV, Yeah I know, I want :( [06:08] klingon_: move your home dir? [06:08] espeak will not run for me, it says that it can not read the data files and exits with a segmentation fault. Can anyone help? [06:08] scho bot is triggered by a human. Me in this case. Please avoid any political commentary here.

[06:09] hkittysmoothie: you have espeak-data installed? [06:10] he's gone [06:10] legend2440: yup [06:10] acrousey, try out the UltraISO utility for Windows. Never burned a frisbee using the utility. Itś simple, direct, and to the point with one right-click of the mouse. There should be a Mac port available should you need it. Google " UltraISO " to queue the site. Hopefully, this will assist your efforts to burn a fast and accurate Hardy installation ISO. [06:11] Bladezor: you can do that by providing a grub boot splash image, this has more info --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto (don't know the name of the specific image used in your example though, there's a "grub-splashimages" package you can install, might be in there) [06:11] sonicreind: thanks! [06:11] hkittysmoothie: so when you type espeak hell in terminal you get error? [06:11] glitsj16, alright thanks :) [06:11] hkittysmoothie: so when you type espeak hello in terminal you get error? [06:11] legend2440 yes [06:12] Could someone assist me with an LVM issue? [06:12] stiev: ask the question [06:12] legend2440: here is what it says: http://pastebin.com/m68b7b1d7 [06:13] I had an LVM setup with a 500GB+500GB+500GB+300GB+1TB, and the first 500GB crashed, unrecoverable. [06:13] I want to keep the LVM together, and the remainder of the data [06:13] how can I do this? [06:15] Can someone help me figure out why a 2nd hard drive I just added to my system isnt showing up, I have mounted and its no where to be fuond [06:15] snowpunk98-> what was your command to mount such drive? [06:16] Hello everyone. I was just wondering what other visualizations someone might reccomend for rhythmbox. the Goon Viz just gets tiring. [06:16] snowpunk mounted like in connected right? [06:16] Plugged drive in, created /mnt/Backup edited fstab, did mount -a [06:16] hkittysmoothie: i don't have espeak-data file in my home folder. its in usr/share/espeak-data do you have espeak-data folder in your home directory? [06:16] snowpunk98-> try to mount manually [06:16] /dev/sdb1 /mnt/Backup ext3 defaults 0 0 [06:16] is what I put in fstab [06:17] amenado, how do I do that [06:17] snowpunk98-> man man; man mount please [06:17] legend2440: I have an espeak-data folder in my home directory, but there's nothing in it. [06:17] Anyone? [06:19] hkittysmoothie: maybe try renaming that folder and then try and if that doesn't work try reinstall espeak-data [06:19] amenado, thats honestly not very helpful [06:19] I did mount -a and man doesnt say anything about manually mounting [06:19] legend2440: To what should I rename it? [06:19] snowpunk98 it's sudo mount -a, or gksudo, you need adminstrative privileges [06:19] hkittysmoothie: espeak-data-bak [06:20] fbianconi, I already did that and the command runs fine but it doesnt show up [06:20] snowpunk98 what "mount" says [06:21] legend2440: Yay, thank you, it works now. [06:21] /dev/sdb1 on /mnt/Backup type ext3 (rw) [06:21] !beer | hkittysmoothie [06:21] hkittysmoothie: Beer is always appreciated. [06:21] is the old xmms frontend floating around anywhere? [06:21] Or is it mounted and I don't get any new icon anywhere and now I can just write to it/ [06:21] !clone [06:21] 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 [06:22] Like no desktop or places icon [06:22] legend2440: I guess I owe you then :P [06:22] do you have permissions to read there? [06:22] snowpunk98: amenado might be helping after all, since the man for mount states that "defaults" implies nouser, so a regular non-root user wouldn't be able to mount it .. [06:22] hkittysmoothie: lol glad it worked [06:23] snowpunk98 did you chmod +rx on that dir? [06:24] sudo chmod -R 755 /mnt/Backup [06:24] I did that [06:24] snowpunk98-> after you have done a manual mount, see if dmesg reflects such mounts [06:24] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 [06:25] oh well ill figure it out later, thank you for the help [06:26] Shujah u in :P [06:27] !Food [06:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about food [06:27] I have a laptop with Intel965 graphics, and it keeps freezing when I play any games. It seems to be related to OpenGL, but I'm not sure. Has anyone run into this? [06:28] Shpook the system freezes? [06:30] fr500: One drive crashed out of my 5-drive LVM. Now the LVM cannot be mounted, and I tried to take that drive out of the lvm with "vgreduce satavg --removemissing", but now the logical volume isn't even there [06:33] Okay, I have yet to have someone help with me setting up accessing my my ubuntu box from windows vista. === Awsoonn is now known as dereck === dereck is now known as awsoonn_ [06:34] ? ok === awsoonn_ is now known as awsoonn [06:34] can anyone help me getting my tv set up? I have it all hooked up and everything but Im getting an error when I try to enable it in the nvidia x server settings window [06:37] Okay, I have yet to have someone help with me setting up accessing my my ubuntu box from windows vista. [06:37] Okay, I have yet to have someone help with me setting up accessing my my ubuntu box from windows vista. [06:37] lol [06:37] i dont think u can [06:37] someone i know is having problems playing DVD discs from totem and VLC. the device appears to be mounted to /media/cdrom0, but playback fails. does anyone have any diagnostics i can try to trace the problem? [06:38] yeah I think windows will only recognize ntfs partitions so you would need that at least [06:38] hey, i don't think that i downloaded the CD correctly because when I MD5 it through my DiskUtility on my Mac I get CRC32 $741DEDF6 [06:38] bob u can read files from linux to windows but i dont thin it works the other way around [06:38] Bidget: it recognizes FAT32 as well (vfat) [06:38] should i just try downloading again? [06:38] ah right yeah [06:39] forgot about that one [06:39] bob3213243-> let me give you some hints, google for putty and openssh on ubuntu === arthurfurlan_ is now known as arthurfurlan [06:39] Bidget: it's kinda legacy, and since ubuntu has full r/w ability with NTFS, the point should be moot. NTFS > FAT32 any day, but ext3 > either of those two [06:39] Hi, I'm trying to install xinetd using sudo apt-get install xinetd and i keep getting the error E: Invalid operation [06:39] is this a permissions issue? === awsoonn is now known as dereck === dereck is now known as Dereck [06:40] AgentHeX, oh I know what fat32 is hahaha [06:40] ;) [06:40] just forgot about it as I havent used it in a long long time [06:40] amendo done it and yeah. no go. [06:40] helloeverybody [06:40] *_ [06:40] amendo thx for the hints. [06:40] :P [06:41] I want to update my kernel [06:41] anyone know why Im getting an error when I try to enable my tv as a second display? [06:41] can i use kernels from kernel.org? [06:41] or i have to use ubuntu kernels [06:41] ? [06:41] bob3213243-> no go? did you actually try to read any of those hints? [06:41] I have a 64bit Hardy Haron install and it keeps freezing on me. I can get it to freeze every time during an ubuntu kernel compile. can someone help me troubleshoot? [06:42] Hell oeveryone [06:42] !kernel [06:42] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [06:43] HI [06:43] Yes, I'm not coming here without killing myself over this all day. [06:43] When i add "noapic" to my kernel line in grub it won't boot and keeps repeating a message saying "ata11.00: status: { DRDY }" [06:44] i think noapic is messing with the SATA driver [06:44] bob321324: can you ssh to your ubuntu box from your ubuntu box? [06:44] is there someone who could help me with LVM problems here? [06:45] amenado Yes I'm not coming to this without killing myself over it all day. the big issue is that the PuTTy / VNC fix is too complicated for the people I am trying to set this up for. Hence I am looking for a clean or simple way to access ubuntu from windows over the WAN. [06:45] bob3213243 [06:45] anyone know why Im getting an error when I try to enable my tv as a second display? [06:45] bob3213243: do they just need to access files? [06:45] hello I've a problem, 2 minutes ago mi computer got overheated I has happened 2 times and generally before it happens the machine gets frozen also the screen shows vertical color bars not like tv's it's color depens on what is displaying [06:46] stieve they need read/write access. I was just told to try WinSCP === weechat2 is now known as sinumerikz [06:46] wols, are you there? [06:46] bob321324313243: are the clients ubuntu? [06:46] bsd: sooo... you want us to tell you how to install a better heatsink? [06:47] I've used that, but I prefer filezilla or filezilla portable. they just need to put the host as "sftp://ipaddress-or-dns" [06:47] heh... totally butchered your name [06:47] bsd, it sounds like a hardware problem not a problem with ubuntu... [06:47] bob3213243: are the clients ubuntu or windows? [06:47] bidget I think so [06:47] bsd my first hard disk is damaged because of this problem [06:48] bsd, if your computer is overheating then you either need to clean it out and make sure all the fans are working or possibly install a new heatsink [06:48] wols: Just dropped in to say thank you for your help last night. Today I managed to fix the audio problems, and have been having a blast with Ubuntu Studio and Ubuntu generic kernels ever since. This is a great OS, and I'm really happy so far. [06:48] can someone recomend a boot option i can switch on that will make my ubuntu install stop freezing? [06:48] noapic and nolapic haven't worked [06:48] kyleprager, have you tried the ubuntu alternate install cd? That's the one I had to use [06:48] bob3213243-> you yourself need to understand how to setup the server services on your ubuntu so users from other host can login, start with ssh..then once you get that working, you have to then use an ssh client (putty) to login [06:48] agenthex windows is the one trying to access the ubuntu box. [06:49] i've got a bit of a problem here, ubuntu seems to have installed the proper restricted drivers for my network card, yet i've got no connection [06:49] Bidget: no, i havent tried that. what is it? [06:49] bob3213243: if security isn't an issue, you can use FTP [06:49] how can i check which 32 bit libs are needed for a program that is not a dynamic executable? [06:49] bidget Everthing is working ok my heatsink is clean [06:49] kyleprager, hold on I will see if I can find a link for you. When I first installed I had to use the alternate install because my video card wasnt supported by the other one [06:49] bsd, then your computer probably isnt overheating [06:49] amendo ssh and samba are setup I can login without issue via putty but it is too complicated dude. [06:49] bob3213243: if security is an issue, a VPN with samba on the ubuntu box might be more appropriate. === Jetjie0932 is now known as Sad_ [06:50] bob3213243: try filezilla [06:50] agenthex thx man. [06:50] try winscp [06:50] bob3213243-> complicated for whom? [06:50] bob3213243: also google search for mounting a ssh share on a windows machine [06:51] bidget just the zone next to the mousepad gets really hot, last time it did heat was enogh to burn my hand when i touched it [06:51] bob3213243: i got some interesting results [06:51] I'm not getting any sound playback with espeakedit, sound playback works fine with anything else. Any help? [06:51] kyleprager, if you just go to the download page on www.ubuntu.com and check the box that says you want the alternate cd [06:51] bob3213243: "The SshClient program from www.ssh.com has a graphical file management [06:51] client (a front-end to sftp, I think). It's free for personal use. " [06:51] kyleprager, you can try that one, if it still isn't working then you'll have to ask soemone else for help Im not an expert I just thought maybe you could give that a try [06:51] Bidget: My computer is an Acer aspire 5100-5325 [06:51] Bidget: what alternate options would you recomend === kuuneito is now known as marmelaati [06:52] hmm, what happened to my pal ebotu? [06:52] agenthex yeah the ubuntu box is all setup and I use it extensively via ssh no problem. the issue is just the people I am trying to do this want it very very simple. [06:52] kyleprager, well the alternate cd is just a different installer. My install kept crashing so I tried the alternate install cd and it worked fine [06:53] bob3213243: http://hartvig.de/2008/mounting-your-ssh-shares-in-microsoft-windows/ [06:53] I think the problem comes from factory beacuse since I got the computer I've been seeing color bars lately once in a while but I haven't noticed it was getting really hot [06:53] bsd, sounds like you'll have to call up acer and talk to them about it then. This is a forum for ubuntu support... [06:53] anyone running a p5n32 se sli deluxe? [06:53] agenthex thanks alot man. I was getting very frustrated. lol [06:53] Bidget i will [06:53] Bidget: i havent yet been able to undertand why its crashing so i wouldnt know what options to look into. Are there any logs you would recommend checking to see what the problem is? I've had it freeze the same using the nvidia driver and the open source nv driver. and I've tried starting with noapic and nolapic (and all combinations thereof). [06:53] bob3213243: enjoy! [06:53] *raises glass* [06:54] i've got a bit of a problem here, ubuntu seems to have installed the proper restricted drivers for my network card, yet i've got no connection [06:54] kyleprager, well Im no expert I was just saying maybe you could try the alternate install cd it might work for you [06:54] i had that prolem PW- [06:54] did you find a solution by chance? [06:54] Bidget: ok, thanks! i'll look into the alternate CD and see if it helps [06:54] pw : network manager isn't finding a connection? [06:54] pw--> wired or wireless? [06:55] kyleprager, yeah you can find it at http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [06:55] hello anyone help me install a wireless driver? [06:55] wired, i'm not getting into the wireless problems yet, amenado [06:55] lol ps [06:55] lw [06:55] kyleprager, when you download it just make sure to check the box that says "Check here if you need the alternate desktop cd [06:55] pw [06:55] wbmj, network manager? >.> [06:55] Bidget: ok [06:55] pw--> which chip does your nic card have?

[07:45] wbmj, yes [07:45] wbmj, now removing the next in line :P [07:45] tanath: I would upgrade but the email software I'm using requires Dapper [07:45] tanath: you should be able reinstall now [07:46] wbmj, i appear to be fully upgraded now.... but with 2 packages held back for some reason [07:46] linux-doc openbox [07:46] tanath: thats normal sometimes [07:46] just ignore it [07:47] tanath: sound like you're out of the woods [07:47] Hai R0b0t1 [07:47] Rat409, nah, just needed to poke aptitude. it's going now [07:47] I lub you enough to answer :) [07:47] wbmj, indeed. thx [07:47] I have a problem with my ubuntu keyboard preferences.

[08:03] anyone? [08:04] Sir_Fawnpug: yes [08:04] illdecree: what's your editor? you'll prolly have to edit with sudo on the command line [08:04] Dr_martins the card is a nvidia 6600 [08:04] hmm [08:04] I lifted my laptop to a different angle while executed mount /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd [08:04] AgentHeX, if he is using an editor outside of command line, use gksu, not sudo [08:04] and now the dvd drive is making a weird noise :O [08:05] rat409 you still here [08:05] InvalidCo, ahh, just checking. Well, what do you get when you ls -l /dev | grep "dvd" [08:05] and it currently displays opengl games at much higher rez then 800x600 [08:05] Hello , does tar.gz have size limit ?

I´l try that [08:10] help please === _NiC_ is now known as _NiC [08:11] kate_mins, according to the FSF's manual for tar, there aren't any intrinsic limitations to the format concerning file size. However, you still may have to deal with filesystem limitations. [08:11] gksu lester [08:11] hi im trying to install a frontend for xmms2. i downloaded esperanza onto my desktop. how do i cd to the folder in the terminal? [08:11] kate_mins, http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/tar.html [08:12] conduit4sal1: Just install esperanza from the repositories [08:12] i need some help if anyone can spear some time [08:12] really the thing that I don't get is that if I set my desktop rez at 800x600 it displays fine but fullscreen games I get that invalid mode message if I display higher rez the games work but ETQW at the much higher rez is just to slow on my pc [08:12] Does Anyone have a link that might help me get my ALFA AWUS036H usb antenna able to surf the web, or in managed mode. Many thanks as I have been searching for weeks. [08:12] Sir_Fawnpug: what is the Ubuntu filesystem limitations for file size ? [08:13] kate_mins, well, it depends on which filesystem you've chosen. If you're using ext3, I think a single file can be 36GB, but I might be mistaken about that [08:14] but I'll try checking the nvidia drivers in the restricted drivers manager I think I updated my nvidia drivers manually awhile back [08:14] kate_mins: It depends on how the filesystem was set up, it can be anywhere from 16G to 2T [08:14] '~$ sudo ethtool eth0' reports: "Link detected: yes." A link between which two points is meant here? [08:14] i need some help can anyone help me [08:15] kcman: You have to specify your problem first. [08:15] !anyone | kcman [08:15] kcman: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [08:15] Flannel: what is the filesystem default file size ? (ubuntu 8.04) [08:15] I have a really silly question about open office, if someone has a moment. [08:15] leeash: What did we just get done telling kcman? [08:16] Please, [08:16] help me get my ALFA AWUS036H usb antenna able to surf the web, or in managed mode. Many thanks as I have been searching for weeks. [08:16] sorry i just got it guys give me a second to rewrite it [08:16] Well, I don't want to draw out a long question if no one is interested in giving it a shot. [08:16] :) [08:16] leeash: OK, then, yes, I know the answer to your question. Now ask it. :-) [08:16] like my long and clear question for example [08:17] Basically I'm wondering why using the same fonts I'm getting different page lengths in OO than in Word (which I have to use for school related reasons). [08:17] It seems that the fonts are appearing larger in Word. [08:17] kate_mins: How big is your partition? [08:17] So when I export my .odt to .doc and then open that in Word everything gets pushed down a few pages. [08:17] cause neither word nor OOo are typesetting programs [08:17] even when they pretend otherwise [08:17] I realize that. [08:18] I use LaTeX for anything important. [08:18] Flannel: 500GB [08:18] kate_mins, did you let ubuntu repartition your harddrive, or did you do it manually? [08:18] I just thought there might be something about the way the two programs render the fonts that I could tweak. [08:18] Other than simply changing the font size. [08:18] leeash: You might also try asking in #openoffice.org [08:19] kate_mins: Actually, pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" (thats an L) [08:19] Excellent idea. [08:19] is there a program equivalent to speedfan for windows? [08:19] whats a good altetrnative to cpu-z? [08:19] How do I install the USB ALFA antenna in Ubuntu [08:20] i am trying to install drivers for a wireless adapter i found a page that is a good how to but i am stuck with how to get the inf and what not to install so i can use my wireless card [08:20] <_jdd_> b0rris: i think fancontrol is about equivalent [08:20] Flannel: http://pastebin.com/m1defd85d [08:21] kate_mins: Or, if you know which device it is (/dev/sdXY) you can just give the output of this: sudo /sbin/dumpe2fs /dev/sdXY | grep "Block size" [08:21] how to make bluetooth working in ubuntu? [08:21] kate_mins, actually I just looked up the maximum filesize value on an ext3 partition, and it looks like the maximum size of a file can be 2TB. [08:21] cheers, i modded my psu fans and thier loud as without control [08:21] Also. Does anyone here run Ubuntu on a Macbook? [08:21] <_jdd_> b0rris: also, I think it's in the package lm-sensors [08:21] kate_mins: what is the output of: sudo /sbin/dumpe2fs /dev/sda1 | grep "Block size" [08:22] has anyone else encountered problems booting 8.04 with a floppy device in the system? for me if theres a floppy in a system it gets stuck and goes to "busybox intramfs" and then nothing [08:22] My battery indicator in Ubuntu decided to stop working and now always shows 0% battery life, even after a full charge. [08:22] hello [08:22] yup i found a howto thread about it, thanks alot [08:22] leeash,, did you put your battery in backward...? [08:22] kidding [08:22] The hardware indicator still works fine. [08:23] kate_mins, so theoretically you could put everything on your harddrive into a tar archive [08:23] how can i install objective c compiler on ubuntu? [08:23] kate_mins: don't need to pastebin, it should only be one line (and we really just need the number) [08:23] uur, look for gcc in synaptic [08:23] i installed gcc but it does not compile objective c programs [08:23] uur, I'm not exactly sure what the exact package name is (I haven't messed with objective C any), but I believe there is GCC's objective C compiler in apt [08:24] uur, well gcc itself is just the C compiler [08:24] Flannel: Block size: 4096 [08:24] by the way, i don't have synaptic,ii don't have x [08:24] kate_mins: Alright, your max file size is 2TB [08:24] Flannel: thanks for your help :) can i ask you another question ? [08:25] kate_mins: Yep [08:25] uur, try gobjc [08:25] i cant get the drivers for my wireless card to install [08:25] ok thank you Sir_Fawnpug, i'll try it [08:25] im using fedora9, but ive chrooted myself into the filesystem of a liveCD version of LinuxMint, and aptitude is having issues reaching the repo's to download some packages i need, is there a problem with the repos right now, or could a config be effed up? [08:25] Ah well. [08:25] Thanks for the help. [08:25] !mintsupport | sjdurfey [08:25] Cheers [08:25] sjdurfey: Linux Mint is not a supported derivitve of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint on irc.spotchat.org [08:25] not gobjc [08:26] where do you think i can find what the apt-get name is? [08:26] ahhh, ok, i didnt know which server that was on [08:26] Flannel: what is the best compression tool in ubuntu ? [08:26] uur: apt-cache search [blah blah] [08:26] uur, try going here http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy [08:26] how do i make a deb out of source [08:26] does anyone have a ALFA [08:26] uur, gobjc, according to http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/gobjc, should be the name of the package [08:27] is there any good proxy programs for ubuntu? [08:27] !packaging | Decepticon [08:27] Decepticon: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [08:27] !proxy | chriswr [08:27] chriswr: Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as !TOR and web (Java, etc) gateways due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks. If you're using mibbit, please try joining #ubuntu again. Mibbit takes a long time to connect, so you may have missed a message to do this. [08:27] kate_mins: Well, most people either use gzip or bzip2, (.gz and .bz2) But the compression amount depends on what sort of data youre compressing as much as what compression method you're using. Either would be a fine choice [08:27] 7-zip is good for compression [08:27] chriswr: Err, maybe tinyproxy and squid? [08:27] abeyy [08:28] jpds: ok , thnx ill check them out [08:28] hm, i think my ubuntu is not hardy, how can i learn what version it is? [08:28] help>> i wana set up php in ubuntu.....(new user) [08:28] uur: lsb_release -a [08:28] kate_mins, to add on to what Flannel said, you can tell tar to use gzip with -c and bzip2 with -j. [08:28] Flannel: i never used .gz tool , can you give me an example how i can compress folder with her sub-folders ? [08:28] ok, its gutsy [08:28] uur, they have information for all of the different versions [08:28] kate_mins, try tar -czf my_archive.tar.gz [08:28] kate_mins: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [08:29] help>> i wana set up php in ubuntu.....(new user) [08:29] the homepage takes you to hardy though [08:29] is anyone familiar with medusa? [08:29] kate_mins, you can do it using gnome, right-click on a folder and select create an archive. [08:30] kate_mins: Theres a graphical tool which will make it easy. You actually do it in two steps. gz only compresses a single file, so first you have to make all the files into a single file (called a tar). Its a two step process (except you don't see the steps individually usually). This is why you sometimes see .tar.gz (which is sometimes shortened to .tgz) [08:30] mahesh: What do you want to do with the php? a web server? [08:30] I just installed a DVD-burner on my lappy, can someone help me get Ubuntu to recognize that it's a DVD-burner?

[08:31] rat409 you still here [08:31] right now, it thinks it's only a cd/dvd rom [08:31] hi, all, how can i make a twinview mode as a session?

[08:31] where can I get a answer to a simple Ubuntu question? [08:31] anyone know of any good network logon cracker? [08:31] greyspacebt3: just ask the question [08:31] uur: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-cache policy gobjc, pastebin that. [08:32] uur: try gobjc-multilib [08:32] gaelfx,, I would like to have wireless internet , and I have a ALFA card [08:32] flannel:: iam a student doing project with php.... i wanna set up php, apache, mysql... so help!! plz [08:33] mahesh: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [08:33] tried all of these but still not working... [08:33] what kind of problem is that? [08:33] uur: Pastebin the output of that command [08:33] ah ok [08:33] sorry [08:33] in a minute [08:33] uur: No problem [08:33] is anyone familiar with medusa? if so , can anyone help me with recovering a password with it , or point out a tutorial? [08:33] flannel:: ok i'll check [08:34] greyspacebt3: give me a minute [08:34] hey [08:34] i have a question [08:34] what's the unstable realease of ubuntu called in debian is called sid [08:34] on debian what is it called? [08:34] sorry in ubuntu what it is called [08:34] BLep: What? sid is debian [08:35] i meant ubuntu =) [08:35] BLep: Ubuntu doesn't have an "unstable" release like debian does. [08:35] gaelfx,, I am not going anywhere,,, thanks [08:35] does it have testing Flannel [08:35] ? [08:35] BLep: Right now we have the development version (its alpha software currently) of the next release. Its not really fit for use. [08:35] does hardy have the latest packages version installed? [08:35] gaelfx, If you want results , I would be glad to paste what I have done so far. [08:36] BLep: What? [08:36] greyspacebt3: try this: http://linux-wless.passys.nl/query_part.php?brandname=Alfa [08:36] BLep: Hardy has the latest as of Hardy's version freeze (more or less) [08:36] im asking does hardy has the latest versions of packages? [08:36] Gnome panel drawers... Do they usually pause for a second or two after the first icon when sliding open? [08:36] BLep, not all of the packages in Hardy are bleeding edge, but in most cases their current enough [08:36] not sure which card is yours, but it should be listed there, if it'll work [08:37] does anyone know what would cause a lengthy longin time with ProFTPd? [08:37] Sir_Fawnpug: on which version of ubuntu i can get the latest. packages? [08:37] ? [08:37] so i can put it in my sources.list [08:37] BLep: assuming you want a stable system, Hardy has the latest you'll find. [08:37] i have to download with this command "sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils" but utils is not there only common is there so when i go to install using the command sudo ndiswrapper -m i can not use it because i have commons not utils anyone help me [08:38] Flannel: nope i do not want a stable pc =) [08:38] that's why im asking [08:38] kcman: I believe its ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 [08:38] BLep, to be honest, I'm not sure. Ubuntu, like most other distros, usually does extensive testing on packages to make sure they are stable. [08:38] Flannel, hey man, how's it going? [08:38] greyspacebt3: try this: what have you tried so far? [08:38] so what can i do [08:38] BLep: Intrepid is the next version. Intrepid support/questions are handled in #ubuntu+1, and the topic there will tell you how to upgrade to it. [08:38] is anyone familiar with medusa? if so , can anyone help me with recovering a password with it , or point out a tutorial? [08:38] Howdy jeeves__ [08:39] gaelfx... I have done this so far. http://pastebin.com/m25768104 It is there, but it doesn't work. I'll check out your link now. thanks [08:39] Flannel, anything I can help with in here? [08:39] can someone help me make recognize my DVD-burner? [08:39] BLep, well it depends on the package developer. Most of them have CVS or subversion, you could compile from source in those cases. [08:39] jeeves__: Help with whatever you feel comfortable helping with. [08:39] Some of them distribute .debs of their own [08:40] so ubuntu does not have something like debian sid. sarge woody etc? [08:41] hi [08:41] BLep, I'm mostly a gentoo user so I'm not sure. Flannel seems to indicate that it doesn't. [08:41] BLep: No, the release system is different. Each version sticks with whatever versions of software it was released with (plus bugfixes/security patches). New versions of software are put into the next release [08:41] BLep, not really, you can always try betas or older versions though, just depends waht you are after [08:42] im after betas [08:42] is anyone familiar with medusa? if so , can anyone help me with recovering a password with it , or point out a tutorial?

[12:51] Xsss4hell: Yeah that tool would be useful [12:51] trinux, also, what about alsamixer in terminal to make sure that nothing is muted [12:51] I TecR0c I was able to control the machines/servers remote or even make my changes visible to the employees so they can follow and trust me by telephone. Or hidden ;) [12:51] Please let me know if you remember the name === MONIQUEEE is now known as Andy` [12:52] does anyone know how to get rar to ignore crc errors? [12:52] trinux, in the sound preferences panel (autodetect) === Andy` is now known as Andy`` [12:52] because I know for a fact not all of my downloads are corrupt [12:52] since everything non-rared i download works fine [12:52] sluxor, ignoring crc errors would mean you don't get the original files back [12:52] TecR0c, lemme look.. i can't promise that I find it again.. I'm out of that biz now.. working as programmer parttime [12:52] I will def have a think about going vnc [12:53] sluxor, what are you using to unrar? [12:53] sluxor: unrar kb [12:53] i know it is very good how you can control their sessions without having to log them out etc. [12:53] unop: I don't think so considering everything rared is corrupt and everything non-rared isnt.. [12:53] Thanks. [12:53] unop: i tried both rar and unrar [12:54] sluxor, hmm, i think the p7zip utility can unrar too -- you might want to give it a try [12:54] haha, this is weird. now all of a sudden the original flash movie plays and the re-encoded one has no sound. a few days ago it was vice versa [12:55] trinux, good news [12:55] I'm customizing the livecd with the help of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization . I try to start gnome to do changes from there, with /etc/init.d/gdm start (howto in the comments), but what is the username and the password? [12:55] but i still fail to understand the sound system on linux [12:55] unop: just did , it doesn't :S [12:55] sluxor: have you tried unrar with the kb switch? [12:56] hateball: yes it takes me back to the helpfile [12:56] Which is the best vnc server for windows ? [12:56] alsa modules of the kernel, yes. the mixer says only "default". if you choose alsa it sometimes works, then it does not. in different applications you have to configure alsa, but the device is only "default" etc. etc. [12:56] !vnc [12:56] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [12:56] why does this have to be so complicated ... [12:57] sluxor: that would be for instance: unrar e -kb filename.rar [12:57] ah worked now.. thanx guys' [12:57] TecR0c, I think I found it. I think it was a product from this company: http://www.tools4ever.com/ I also found this http://www.bozteck.com/vncscan/ and this http://www.amtsoftware.com/Active-Administrator/ [12:58] thanks [12:58] is there a native ftp server in Gutsy? [12:58] how do I use it? any GUI for it?

[13:00] hai guys - i had to put acpi=off at the end of the default line in /boot/grub/menu.lst to stop my computer hanging on shutdown, then i changed it to acpi=force and noticed a change - when i use force ubuntu jumps into action and shows that i have two cores (am p4 w/ hyperthreading) but when i use off it shows that i only have one - any idea why this is and what's best? [13:00] sry 4 long post [13:00] !gproftpd [13:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about gproftpd [13:01] !ftp [13:01] FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd [13:01] Meh [13:01] !FTPd [13:01] FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd, MuddleFTPd, wzdftpd - Graphical front-ends: PureAdmin, GProftpd (for GNOME), KcmPureftpd (for !KDE) - See also !FTP [13:02] when i try to mount a usb drive from gnome, nothing happens. i have a flash drive and external hdd, both of which were automounting fine yesterday, but now only come up in the gnome panel thingi as unmounted. and if i click on them and tell it to mount, it just comes up with an empty error dialog. i havent restarted yet, which may fix it, but i was hoping to fix it without a restart [13:03] how do set a static ip? [13:03] un_dave - mount from terminal as sudo? [13:03] Hello [13:03] sliverchair: edit /etc/network/interfaces [13:03] pbtrn10k: i would, but i dont know the /dev device name [13:04] sliverchair: unless you're using networkmanager of course... then you'd use the GIU [13:05] Audacity is good to edit sounds, but what program I should use to create sounds? [13:05] i m new to ubuntu and i want to ubuntu on my computer intel pentium 797 MHz with 264 Mb RAM which have OS Windows XP professional version 2002 SP 3::: i want to change my OS with Ubuntu [13:05] I'm customizing the livecd with the help of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization . I try to start gnome to do changes from there, with /etc/init.d/gdm start (howto in the comments), but what is the username and the password? I have tried ubuntu / null [13:06] ablaze: try ubuntu alternate [13:06] Is there a way to customize the nautilus UI? [13:06] pbtrn10k: ah, i found it in the messages log... sde1 [13:06] thanks for reply::: [13:06] for alternate i can use unetbootin ? [13:06] because at the moment i dont have CD to use [13:06] pbtrn10k: and it mounted fine! so why is the gnome automount failing ? [13:06] un_dave so sudo mount /dev/sde1 /wherever [13:07] i want to install without using CD Drive [13:09] un_dave: are the devices in /etc/fstab?

[13:09] bicz: i want to install without CD Drive ::: is this possible [13:09] which vnc viewer do you recommand in ubuntu [13:09] ablaze: dunno [13:10] ablaze: yes use grub for xp [13:10] dunno? [13:10] i m totally new to these terms ::: sorry :: can u explain a little bit plz [13:10] un_dave - i've had this problem before and found that logging out of the gnome-session and restarting it, no need to shut down [13:10] i want to totally remove XP and install ubuntu [13:11] ablaze: simply telling the Ubuntu livecd to "use entire disk" when installing will do that. [13:12] ablaze: you might want to make backups first, of course :) [13:12] pbtrn10k: ok, will try that. thanks anyway [13:12] cya all ! [13:12] in fact i dont use this computer a lot ::: and i just want to change this one ::: thats y no problem of back up [13:12] Ah. No CD drive. This complicates matters.

Totem seems to be playing them (the slider moves and I get the animation etc) but there is no sound [13:12] ?

[13:28] ablaze: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows May help you then [13:28] If you have a machine bound to multiple IPs (accessing the same network, say the public internet) --- how do you know which one will be used for outgoing traffic (not from bound ports and interface, etc)? [13:28] Fome: it probably works.. but it might have some problems playing more than one sound at a time [13:28] Fome: pulseaudio uses alsa too.. it's just a layer above alse.. [13:28] Slart: OK, well this seemed to solve my problem anyway. Thanks a bunch! [13:28] ablaze: Any messages which contain your username here appear differently so that they are easy to find [13:28] Fome: you're welcome [13:28] For ablaze and others: http://www.slax.org/ appear to have a Windows-installable USB boot image. You might be able to make the Ubuntu Live"CD" USB stick from that. Assuming that ablaze only has a Windows install available as a runnable system. [13:29] brett_h: I assume by the value of default gateway [13:29] thanks a lot for ur replies ::: i will give it a try and tell u if any problem ::: so nice of u [13:30] how i install flash firefox 3 ubuntu? [13:30] jj [13:31] Does anyone know how to limit who can shut down a pc?

[13:32] Slart: I'm not sure what makes the default, but it's not using any of the defined "gateway"s in /etc/network/interfaces [13:32] do i still have to upgrade? [13:32] I need help with this problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=856042 [13:32] brett_h: route prints out a list of routes etc.. there should be one default gateway there [13:33] brett_h: I think there are software available if you want to use more than one interface for load balancing or pairing === Tim-S_ is now known as Tim-S [13:33] Slart: nope, I just want to know where outgoing traffic will come from on my server, it's not using any of the default gateways in route [13:33] newb: to find out the version of the kernel you have, type uname -r in a terminal [13:34] he i have a problem, i cant uninstall gforge because of some error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27268/ [13:34] /quit [13:34] Slart: says default gateway is ...113 and when I, say, send a mail, I get it from ...115 [13:34] brett_h: you don't have a line starting with "default" in the output from route? [13:34] Slart: I have 3 and it's not using those IPs [13:34] newb: if you haven't installed it yet, I'll tell you that you will have 2.6.*.* because that's the kernel that is part of ubuntu 8.04 [13:35] newb: you will need to do updates once you install, but they are all automatic and it will prompt you for it [13:35] brett_h: hmm.. you can see the bandwidth usage from different interfaces using for example nload ... [13:35] No my Nvidia Geforce 6150 driver is not installed properly. Is there any way I can go back to the original settings? [13:35] brett_h: is it the same if you use ping, ftp, http etc? or you've just checked mail? [13:36] Hey, guys! Could someone remind me where I can find the apt-get history? [13:36] Slart: I'm just confused all around, are you familiar with IP allocation? We have a /29 subnet of 8 IPs, 5 usable... the "Gateway" one they gave us is not one of the usable [13:36] brett_h: sounds correct [13:36] Òóò êòî íèòü ïî ðóññêè ãîâîðèò? [13:36] s's: so the latest download image will not have the latest kernel? === gardar`afk is now known as gardar [13:36] !ru | Virca314 [13:36] Virca314: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [13:37] Virca314: Да. But speak English, please! :) [13:37] Slart: OK, but no machine actually binds that IP, at least none of mine [13:37] s`s: so the latest download image will not have the latest kernel ie. 19? [13:37] Slart: is that a network device on their end or something? [13:37] bushwakko, something here about high cpu usage being normal for glxgears... http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Glxgears_is_not_a_Benchmark FWIW i have the same graphics card as you and also get 100% cpu usage... [13:37] brett_h: the x.x.x.115 ? [13:37] Slart: it's defined as my gateway, but it isn't one of my machines (no, the 113 - thats the gateway they said) [13:37] How can I Reinstall My GeForce 6150 Card? [13:37] brett_h: the gateway is usually a router or something that the isp puts somewhere between you and the internet [13:37] MatthewV: dragging windows around also gives high cpu [13:37] Slart: the 115 IS my machine, but it isn't the gateway defined, so I want to figure out why thats where traffic is coming from (the machine has other IPs to use, too) [13:38] newb: let me put it this way, the current kernel that I have on Ubuntu 8.04 that's totally updated as of five minutes ago has kernel 2.6.24-19-generic [13:38] Can I go back to the default setting for Geforce 6150 (Like the way it was when I first Installed Ubuntu) [13:38] MatthewV: whats your fps in glxgears then? [13:38] brett_h: so traffic flows from your machine -> gateway -> internet [13:38] Hi guys [13:38] newb: whether or not that exact build is part of the install image, I'm not sure. but once you install it and run the updates, that's the version you'll have [13:38] Slart: Yeah, I gotcha, but does that mean I should see traffic as coming FROM the gateway? I assume not, this isn't NAT [13:38] bushwakko, i dont know, cant remember the switch to show fps ;) [13:38] chattan: hello [13:38] MatthewV: glxgears shows its fps in console [13:38] s`s: nice to meet u === vali is now known as adsum [13:38] just type glxgears in a console and you'll see it [13:39] Slart: So my confusion is that this machine has multiple IPs bound, why is 115 the outgoing? where is that defined? [13:39] chattan: same to you [13:39] bushwakko, not by default - it needs a switch, to do so, and I can't remember it ;) [13:39] brett_h: in your routing table. [13:39] MatthewV: pretty sure i've never used a switch [13:39] s`s: Thanks;-) === bjorge is now known as bjorge_ [13:39] fyrestrtr: The IP traffic is coming from isn't in "route" [13:39] just turn it on [13:39] wait 5 sec [13:39] it will report it === bjorge_ is now known as bjorge [13:39] brett_h: if you had asked me that question 5 minutes ago I would have said, "check the output from route, find the default gateway".. but now I'm not so sure any more [13:39] brett_h: you want to know where the traffic is originating from? [13:40] 9829 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1965.758 FPS [13:40] Why is nothing shown in System->Administration->Hardware Drivers [13:40] fyrestrtr: the machine has multiple public IPs, I know traffic is coming from one, but I want to find out why, so I can understand it [13:40] brett_h: could you pastebin the output from "route" ,"cat /etc/network/interfaces" and "ifconfig" [13:40] s`s: I can't login in Ubuntu 8.10 alpha 2 which i use VMware install [13:40] fyrestrtr: I need it to be a well known and defined location and right now it seems random [13:40] So how does one fix the locales problem? [13:40] bushwakko, ah you're right, sorry that was the case in the old one - i get around 3300 fps, with that vid card, athlon X2 3800+ and 1GB ram [13:40] How Can i Disable the Restricted Driver -- for Nvidia Geforce 6150 [13:40] brett_h: "why" is because there is something on your machine listening on a port to which the remote IP is connecting. [13:40] Slart: Yeah [13:41] chattan, ibex discussion in #ubuntu+1 [13:41] fyrestrtr: huh? I'm talking about the other way around [13:41] MatthewV: seems wrong to me though [13:41] fyrestrtr: no bound IP/port, this is a machine sending traffic [13:41] bazhang: Get it , Thanks [13:41] brett_h: you want to know about outbound traffic or inbound traffic? [13:41] bushwakko, i personally wouldn't worry about it, unless its affecting other things... [13:41] Anyone! [13:41] fyrestrtr: out [13:41] Its pretty hard to do anything in 640X480 res [13:42] brett_h: use netstat [13:42] MatthewV: I started checking this stuff out after getting some poor performance in the kde4 effects, like their impl. of wobbly windows and stuff [13:42] I'm getting a lot of flickering in videos/games with desktop effects enabled and the latest ATI drivers - anyone have any 'definitive' solution? [13:42] TheBeast08: disable desktop effects when gaming. [13:42] bushwakko, well i'm running gnome and stock compiz - so i can't really help you other than to let you know that it all works fine for me.. [13:42] brett_h: I think he wants to be able to configure what interface outgoing traffic uses.. [13:43] bah.. sorry.. fyrestrtr look above [13:43] fyrestrtr, that's what I'm doing at the moment - just doesn't seem right to have to disable it for perfectly normal tasks [13:43] Slart: http://pastebin.com/d121ca1e8 [13:43] if you want to configure what is your outbound interface, then you need to set a manual route -- if you want to know what is connecting out or listening in, use netstat, if you want to control it or restrict it, use a firewall. [13:44] TheBeast08: it is the way to get it done. [13:44] Slart: when I send stuff I'm getting it from .115, though [13:44] Hi. I have added a couple of DNS-ips to dhlclient.conf to be able to connect to the Internet. However IRC and MSN seems to require I set DNS in the programs individually. I set XChat to use the DNS, it worked, but how should I do it with Pidgin? Can't get it working... [13:44] TheBeast08: you can always run your game on another X server listening on another screen with no DE enabled. [13:44] why that instead of .108 or .114? [13:44] brett_h: because that is your default outbound gateway. [13:44] fyrestrtr: please explain where it says that? [13:45] hi there, how can I resize image file on Ubuntu installed from Windows?

I'm surprised there isn't an easy built-in way to control who can shut down Ubuntu. My pc is used by young children and one of them rebooted it today much to my annoyance. [13:45] I need to get bigger /usr [13:45] Can anyone pls be kind enough to help me?? My graphics setting is screwed 640X480 is the maximum res..and It cant be changed.

[13:46] hi all [13:46] i need some help. can someone help me? [13:46] brett_h: you have a single interface, bound to mutiple public IPs, correct? You want to now direct traffic OUT from one of the public IPs -- is this the problem you are facing or is it more -- the traffic is going out, I just don't know from what application or user. [13:46] he i have a problem, i cant uninstall gforge because of some error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27268/ [13:47] !anyone | ines [13:47] ines: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [13:47] fyrestrtr: yeah, one physical interface, multiple bound IPs, none of them are the gateway ... take any random app, browser or whatever - why is it coming from 115 rather than the other bound IPs when 115 is not a gateway [13:47] How DO I install Geforce 6150 in Ubuntu 8.04?

However WITHOUT any driver (When I first installed ubuntu) The graphics was FULL res ..and a lot better [13:49] thats no good either [13:50] hi all [13:50] Bazhang - is there any way to go back to the old setting? [13:50] it looks like I'm going to have to apply that hack since no better solution appears to exist. [13:50] brett_h: hmm.. what does the network keyword do? never used that.. [13:50] Smegzor, what is the problem with that solution [13:50] brett_h: not sure it's important for the issue at hand .. just curious [13:50] i want my kids to be able to use this pc without the ability to reboot or shut it down [13:50] ubuntu-baby, you need 3D capabilities?

Later on i can work on the 3d Capabilities [13:51] fyrestrtr: that gateway is .105 [13:51] after i've installed gecko, i have a black screen in the software window where i can see only the struments bar [13:52] brett_h: what is 115? a host on your net? [13:52] fyrestrtr: this is all one single machine, 115 is one of the IPs bound to the same interface, eth0 [13:52] bazhang: they're my kids, when u figure out how to get them to do what I say, please pass the trick on ;) [13:52] kk [13:52] ubuntu-baby, what does gksudo displayconfig-gtk offer? or nvidia-settings for that matter [13:52] brett_h: when you're sending stuff you get it from x.x.x.115, right? according to ifconfig that's the ip of the eth0:1 interface.. [13:52] Slart: yup, yup [13:53] Slart: but is that an answer? I don't understand [13:53] bazhang - how do i access nvidia-settings ? [13:53] Slart: what is magic about eth0:1? [13:53] Smegzor, then the hack above would be the best it seems [13:53] Slart: why not eth0:0? or eth0? [13:53] ubuntu-baby, need to install it [13:53] brett_h: its the first IP bound to the eth0 device. [13:53] fyrestrtr: first how? there are eth0 and eth0:0 [13:53] bazhang- My terminal is open..would u mind giving me the command? [13:53] brett_h: so it's using eth0:1 to send stuff out.. either it's some random "what gets loaded first at boot" thing .. or it's actually specified somewhere [13:53] Anyone who knows how to set DNS-IPs in Pidgin?

I just use smb://pcserver/sharename === Carpe||Diem is now known as Carpe|Diem === gardar is now known as gardar`afk [14:22] !dvd | candive [14:22] candive: 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 [14:22] bazhang thanks will look [14:22] ER_A: I think there is a setting for configuring what workgroup you're in .. somewhere in the samba settings [14:22] hmm are your PCs not part of a workgroup then.. or is that just a MS thing? [14:22] totem, vlc mplaye won't play avi [14:22] any idea [14:22] ER_A: workgroups are a ms thing [14:22] ? [14:22] I can't access an open wireless connection on ubuntu, but windows accesses it np, :-( I've used gnome and the command line [14:22] ahh ok [14:23] ER_A: what happens if you try it without the workgroup name there [14:23] minhaaj, install ubuntu-restricted-extras [14:23] minhaaj, config totem to gstreamer and download all the plugins, good, bad & ugly [14:23] ubuntu can't recognize usb flash drive, what can i do? [14:23] i can get a dhcp lease, but the connection doesn't come up ( in ubuntu ) [14:23] babo: can you see it if you run 'iwlist scan'? [14:23] iv set the smb.conf file to be set to the correct workgroup [14:23] just seams odd thats all [14:23] i have shujha but let me try again [14:23] etc/samba/smb.conf includes "workgroup" [14:23] bazhang: Is there any way to do it using terminal? I cant even see the buttons (becuz of the res) [14:24] how do i configure shujha ? [14:24] ER_A: I think that workgroup thing is handled by that weird ms network name thingy.. wins or whatever it's called [14:24] theeyealtering, aye. then i do a iwconfig interface mode managed eth1 && iwconfig network essid "Open Network" && dhclient .... [14:24] mind even when i navigate shares via IP addresses I still get "network timed out" when transfering a file [14:24] theeyealtering, or something similar to above that works. [14:24] ubuntu-baby, sudo apt-get remove packagename [14:24] ER_A: I think nmdb is supposed to do that in samba [14:24] that might be a little out. I'm on windows now ... [14:24] but anyway, i get a dhcp lease ... [14:24] yeh i think it is a WINS problem.. mind i havn't baddled with that yet... bit scary! [14:25] Can anyone tell me how i would go about getting file access from VMware running ubuntu from my windows partition and ext hdds? [14:25] ER_A: that is more strange than the first thing.. smb is slow and clunky.. but it usually works [14:25] this is insane. I can't even run the "try ubuntu" from the cd. It stucks at "Running local boot scripts /etc/rc.local". What to do ? [14:25] nmdb? [14:25] minhaaj: What is shujha? [14:25] yeh i know... and the transfer rates are really erratic anything from 50kb/s to 2mb/s [14:26] bazhang: OK I got synaptic to work. Its Downloading .... So once its done..Do I need to run it? Or will it run and setup automatically? [14:26] ER_A: some kind of NetBIOS thingy.. you configure it in smb.conf [14:26] minhaaj, sudo update-alternatives --config totem [14:26] ubuntu-baby, what is downloading? the nvidia driver? [14:26] bazhang- yes [14:26] anyone/ === poningru_ is now known as poningru [14:27] i think it must be a setting issue as my ubuntu box is dual boot and there shares are fine on that [14:27] ubuntu-baby, then run the nvidia-xconfig (with sudo) and finally nvidia-settings (ditto) [14:27] slart... so what kind of setup do you have? [14:27] im interested to know how you can use SAMBA on a MS box [14:28] ER_A: I just use regular dns.. one xubuntu server running dhcp/dns/samba.. two ubuntu clients and one vista laptop [14:28] ER_A: samba is the linux version of ms filesharing.. it's already built in if you're running xp [14:29] ahhh i understand... still getting to grips with linux networking :P [14:29] ER_A: I use samba over my wireless network but I keep all the security off and rely on the wireless security to make life easier, perhaps not too wise though [14:29] I am running Ubuntu 8.04, on a Laptop.

[14:34] Shujah doesnt work [14:34] Im not sure. I booted from my livecd though. [14:34] vrijmetse, what you are saying is that during installation right after selecting language you go into console mode? check md5 of cd [14:34] Okay, this isn't with Ubuntu, but it involves X.org, so it should be generic enough. My mouse is registering EVERY click as a double-click. How do I fix that? [14:34] hello dear people !

This other guy claims that Ubuntu 8.04 is glitchy and unstable and wants to switch back to Ubuntu 7.1. However I am already used to 8.04 - and am quite happy with it. Are there any reasons which not to switch to Ubuntu 7.1 and stay with Ubuntu 8.04. Maybe it is a good idea to switch?

[14:55] trakinas, there is no aux, is this because I'm using Pulse Audio? [14:55] thanks rambo3 :) [14:55] globalfin: The audio setup (called pulseaudio) can cause problems in 8.04 but I've not had trouble with it. That's the only thing I can think of [14:55] globa|fin: ubuntu support will run out for 7.10 at somepoint but i can't rember when exactly [14:55] !vmware | charlie-jayne [14:55] charlie-jayne: 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.

Then he read that hardy is still unstable, etc. on the Internet - so he wants to switch. But I have really had no problems - and I dont want to switch in the middle of my projects, so I was wondering of there were some reasons not to switch... [14:58] bazhang: any ideas?

The other guy is really annoyed and has "read" about some issues, slow, unstable, etc. He has some weight over what goes on in the systems here, so whatever he decided happens. I told him it was an LTS version - so he grilled me about being an "experimental rabbit". He also claims his system has been running slow. What I would really need is some good strong reason not to switch other than: "its new" and "im in [15:02] <[globa|fin]> the middle of stuff".. [15:02] ubuntu-baby, sudo apt-get install packagename followed by sudo nvidia-xconfig, nvidia-settings [15:03] ERA_A -- Nvidia Geforce Go 6150 [15:03] !nvidia | ubuntu-baby [15:03] ubuntu-baby: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [15:03] can anyone help with my sound problems? Sound has just completely disappeared. Alsamixer seems fine etc. [15:03] lesshaste: checked the hardware? [15:04] Gnea, I rebooted into windows.. works there [15:04] bazhang -- so what package should I use for Geforce 6150? [15:04] bazhang, You are Good, thank you very much [15:04] ubuntu-baby, what did you remove? should be the same followed by those setup commands and a restart [15:04] candive, nice going [15:04] Very Cool [15:04] global|fin reasons for hardy: its more secure, its been beta tested so ur not a "experimental rabbit", its LTS, [15:05] This is my card: 00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C51 [Geforce 6150 Go] (rev a2) [15:05] I have set my DNS IP's globally, and they should be correct. WWW works fine, however MSN doesn't. Why? [15:05] [globa|fin]: sigh.. well.. sounds like he's made up his mind.. tell him flash doesn't work with 7.10.. if he likes google toolbar perhaps that will turn him around.. or a swift kick to the middle region =) [15:05] bazhang, I love command! :) thanks again. Chow. [15:06] bazhang: the first command that tells me to do :sudo ifconfig down, returns a bash error, saying that no such file or directory exists... [15:06] Blade_Wizard_Fal, first need to associate that card with the essid; the commands are given in that link [15:06] <[globa|fin]> Slart, lol. thanks. yeh - I'll try what I can. So you say flash does not work in 7.1...mebba that will work....hmmm... [15:08] [globa|fin]: I'm not entirely sure flash doesn't work.. you might want to check that first [15:08] [globa|fin], its LTS thats reason enough. [15:09] how do i add a user to a group? [15:09] I am trying to install ubuntu on a laptop that has a damaged kubuntu install on it and no DVD drive. So i have transfered the ubuntu-install.iso and mounted it.

[15:12] i'm new to linux and my graphics card doesn't do 3D aceel and i would like to, so can someone help me out? [15:12] jimmy51vinsky: you called ?

[15:15] ikonia, you were helping me with my PXE issues before my internet connection died on friday [15:15] jimmy51vinsky: you may have to refresh me please. [15:15] decline: ah.. I don't think I've done anything special.. updated hardy? [15:15] you advised me to first test my TFTP on the localhost [15:16] Gnea, I don't think so, but actually I don't know cus I'm not the admin of the network ;) [15:16] decline: I meant.. it works here for my.. and I don't think I've done anything special.. just the regular updates [15:16] yeah i have cheched hardware drivers and it's under restricted drivers but when i do enable it the screen resilution get's really really big when i do restart and it wont let me change the screen reslution [15:16] ikonia, i can tftp, connect localhost [15:16] decline: what about other im protocols?

[15:17] i have tried but it wont install and when i do try to install i don't know how to install thing's like that, i'm new to linux all together [15:17] decline: no idea then [15:17] laughtear: just feel free to ask your question [15:18] i'm use'n ubuntu [15:18] !helpme | laughtear [15:18] laughtear: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [15:18] whats the option i uso do chown change the permission of all hidden directorys?

[15:18] oops, sorry [15:18] !ask | laughtear [15:18] laughtear: 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. :-) [15:18] muddler: i need to install xp for business reasons onto the other hdd on my computer (internal) [15:18] decline: same as I have.. have you tried using the http method? [15:18] andare, what error message does it give? open synaptic search for nvidia setting it should download without any problems [15:18] Slart, yep, no change [15:18] ikonia, no prob [15:19] decline: are you on some kind of corporate network? could msn be blocked? [15:19] jimmy51vinsky: I'll be with you in 5 [15:19] Slart, no as I said it did work some days ago! And I haven't really changed anything... it's a private housing network [15:19] howdy, i'm using hardy with compiz turned on and firefox has a weird behavior: every time i start it it's height is bigger than the screen resolution, like if it were in fullscreen mode. any suggestions? [15:19] but when put the xp cd into the drive, start the installation progress, when the partitioning part starts, f.kin. xp saze that i must use the other hdd on your computer and... [15:20] muddler: but when put the xp cd into the drive, start the installation progress, when the partitioning part starts, f.kin. xp saze that i must use the other hdd on your computer and... [15:20] Slart, I also have "find IP-address automatically" and "Enable automatic router port forwarding" in network properties in pidgin [15:20] decline: what happens if you start pidgin from a terminal? do you get any kind of error message? [15:20] ok i did open up synaptic and i'm search'n for nvidia setting [15:20] muddler: ... it says you have to change the format of those (linux) partitions.. [15:21] muddler: what can i do to install xp sh.t without harming grup an/or ubuntu [15:21] !language [15:21] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [15:21] ok, sorry [15:21] nvidia setting is download'n [15:21] Slart, only this: (org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply) Did not receive a reply. - But I don't think it has anything to do with this? [15:21] it's done, now what do i do with nvidia setting? [15:21] hello [15:21] decline: nah.. that's probably something else [15:21] laughtear: I haven't looked through this guide but it might take you through step-by-step: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_installed_first.htm [15:22] laughtear, select an unused partition to install windows on and it should be ok -- if you try and install windows on a linux partition, it will attempt to format it [15:22] andare, open nvidia setting from menu > system > admin > nvidia [15:22] decline: you could try pinging that server address? [15:22] it's not there [15:23] muddler, thanks a lot; unop: windows does not accept the hdd i choose for it, and insist on doing something to the hdd which grub is on. [15:23] decline: or not.. I don't get a ping response.. stupid paranoid network admins [15:23] laughtear: windows is stubborn, it may well overwrite grub requiring you to rewrite grub to your mbr [15:23] Slart, ah hehe, not me either [15:23] nvidia dosen't show up under menu > system > admin > nvidia [15:23] laughtear, it's probably asking you to overwrite the MBR -- which is normal [15:23] andare, alt+f2 nvidia-settings [15:23] hmm. I can ping google.com, but when I type apt-get update it says it failed to fetch a bunch of stuff. Anyone ever see this? I can't do apt-get install php5 and stuff. It says it can't find the package. 8.04 [15:24] laughtear: you could just let windows do it's stuff and then sort the mbr with a linux live cd afterwards [15:24] ikonia, switching to jimmy51 [15:24] laughtear, do you know what exactly the message says? [15:24] muddler: i know, it even may wipe the whoe hdd [15:24] unop: which message? [15:24] decline: you can try doing a telnet messenger.hotmail.com 1863 [15:24] laughtear, the message windows install is giving you [15:24] all that did was bring up Run Application [15:24] Slart, like that? "telnet messenger.hotmail.com 1863"? Fails... [15:25] andare, in run application enter this command nvidia-settings then enter [15:25] connection refused [15:25] decline: ah.. that works for me [15:25] laughtear: Page 4 of that guide suggests that it will mark your linux partition as inactive, that's all, but be careful that it does install to a different partition [15:25] ok i'll give that a show [15:25] decline: ok.. so we have something to work with [15:25] decline: what ip number does messenger.hotmail.com resolve to? [15:25] decline: 65.54.239.140 ? [15:25] ok did bring up NVIDIA X Sever Settings [15:26] I have tried the following drivers for Nvidia Geforce 6150 - nvidia-glx-legacy nvidia-glx nvidia-glx-new and none of them gives me any higher res than 800X600. However when i use Ubuntu Live CD ...Or when I first installed Ubuntu on my system....The res and graphics was a lot better. Now How do I go back to that state? [15:26] unop: well, as i remembered (here i am as windows, telling you): i will install windows, but i must do something to the hdd above (linux) to make myself able to start, so go back the previous step, choose one of that hdd's partition (which linux is on it) and format it for xp, or create another partition on it... [15:26] Slart, Slart, 65.54.239.80 [15:26] -Slart ;) [15:26] andare, go to display [15:26] decline: ah.. so we're not getting the same ip.. perhaps "your" server is termporarily down [15:27] decline: try using my ip-number instead of messenger.hotmail.com [15:27] How do I make it so I can ssh ubuntu? I installed the ssh-client but it's refusing port 22. Is this normal? [15:27] Anyone?? [15:27] there's only one tab on the left and that is nvidia settings configuration [15:27] hoşçakalın / bye [15:27] Brandon__, you need openssh-server [15:27] where are the preferences for the gdm display resolution? [15:27] OMG - I just tried VirtualBox (instead of Virtual Server 2005) for my Ubuntu 8.04.1 Server install and this thing rocks - it flies! [15:27] Je vous aime tous les anglais, je sais que vous detestez que les gens parlent français sur ce chan, alors je vous écris un petit message pour découvrir cette si belle langue qu'est le français :D [15:27] decline: although I can connect to your ip too... so I guess the server is up [15:28] Slart, connection refused on telnet, but when trying it in pidgin, it kinda blanks out, nothing happens [15:28] Need help-aptitude began to erase important system elemts and I stopped it (Ecited Terminal) but am unsure of how to fix [15:28] HOW Do I go back to the original State of my Graphics Card. Is there any way to remove the hardware (virtually) and enable it again so that Ubuntu can use it [15:28] s [15:28] andare, open it and go to nvidia display [15:28] default driver? [15:28] Slart, I guess no response [15:28] *xserver display [15:28] decline: any other network weirdness going on? [15:29] laughtear: might it be that windows requires a master rather than slave to boot from or something peculiar like that, and your linux drive is the only one of such? [15:29] Slart, maybe. Can you access www.diskusjon.no ? I can't.... [15:29] muddler: probably my linux drive is the master... [15:29] decline: works fine here [15:29] laughtear: what I'm getting at is that switching jumpers on the hard drives may help you install to the other drive, and you can always change them back [15:29] ? [15:29] Slart, yeah it should be working... [15:29] there is no nvidia display there is only enable tooltips , display status bar , slider text entries , include x display names in the config file , show really quit dialog [15:30] decline: so you've got a general networking problem.. but still we're talking on IRC [15:30] that's all that i do see besides help and quit [15:30] can Anyone Please help me with my Nvidia Geforce Go 6150 ?? [15:30] Slart, + most other www sites work [15:30] unop, isi t bad if it says it can't find the package? It says. :Package openssh-server is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source" [15:30] decline: your ISP hasn't been paying its bills? =) [15:30] hello whats the alternate iso? [15:30] muddler: can i use the ultimate boot disk to swap it from there? [15:30] !alternate | sunru [15:30] sunru: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [15:30] oh [15:30] Slarp, my ISP? Lol, I hope so, they're kinda big [15:30] Need help-aptitude began to erase important system elemts and I stopped it (Ecited Terminal) but am unsure of how to fix [15:31] laughtear: dunno, I'd have thought it would either be set by hardware jumpers or maybe bios, but it's just a guess if it's not even showing your second HD [15:31] andare, ok have you enabled nvidia in hardware drivers [15:31] !dvd [15:31] 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 [15:31] hey everyone [15:31] Slarp, but if you wait some mins, I could test MSN on my WinXP partition...

Option ctrl+M (stop after current) is off. :/ [15:41] Dante123: sounds nice..let me know if you remember the name [15:41] ikonia: do i need to make the tftp root more accessible? [15:41] Does ubuntu have a problem with me deleting the last gnome-panel? [15:41] I mean how can I have a completely panel-less desktop? [15:41] ubuntu-baby, download nvidia via envyng - once downloaded - download nvidia-settings , config your display from nvidia-settings and save to x-configuration file, dont merge save [15:41] jimmy51: certainly looks that way [15:42] hi all [15:42] ubuntu-baby, i don't know was it nvidia-glx [15:42] ikonia: ok, can you walk me through that? i guess read only would be ok, since it's just supposed to serve up pxe images [15:42] well, ndiswrapper for me was a bit shaky on two of my wireless cards. [15:42] I got disconnected. [15:42] jimmy51: as long as it's world readable [15:42] is there a way to downgrade from backported versions to the normal stable versions? [15:42] rambo 3 - I tried Nvidia-glx Nvidia-glx-new and the other one....all 3 [15:42] lesshaste_: yes. [15:42] only thing i had to do after i used this.. https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html.. was turn down my hue and it worked perfect [15:43] lesshaste Turn off the backports in synaptic and say reload, upgrade all? [15:43] Gnea, how do you do that? [15:43] Gnea, I'd like to do it for all packages [15:43] lesshaste_: try sdakak's suggestion [15:43] Can anyone tell me how to have a completely panel-less desktop? [15:43] ikonia, i think the tftproot is /var/lib/tftpboot/ [15:43] jimmy51: go for it [15:43] lesshaste_: if not, you may need to uninstall the packages by hand, then reinstall them. [15:43] sdakak, it says nothing to upgrade [15:44] i cant get to medibuntu it says server not found [15:44] sdakak, how do I tell which installed packages come from backports? Maybe that would be easier [15:44] !medibuntu [15:44] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [15:44] hi [15:44] Slart, works perfect in WinXP... [15:44] ikonia: chmod ?? /var/lib/tftpboot [15:44] lesshaste_: ikonia would provide you better help. [15:44] TokBox is the app name Slart [15:44] lesshaste_: what's wrong with the backports? [15:44] jimmy51: 775 ? [15:44] jimmy51: Are you trying to net boot? [15:44] here is the review [15:44] jimmy51: -R [15:44] jimmy51: chmod -R [15:44] Gnea: There is a reason they are called so :) [15:44] ok [15:45] http://community.zdnet.co.uk/blog/0,1000000567,10008650o-2000498448b,00.htm?new_comment Check it out Slart [15:45] sdakak: huh, what's up ? [15:45] anyone else have ideas for playing dvds? [15:45] sdakak, ikonia? [15:45] sdakak: and there is a reason why they don't bother me :) [15:45] hi ikonia [15:45] hello [15:45] decline: bah.. now I don't know what to expect any more.. are they blocking connection attempts from linux computers? =) [15:45] ohyouknow1987, download vlc [15:45] Dante123: thanks.. looking at it now [15:45] ikonia, I am trying to restabilise my setup by getting rid of any backports [15:45] ohyouknow1987: i already gave you a link to help you out. [15:45] lesshaste_: ok [15:45] ikonia, do you know how to list all the installed backport packages for example? [15:46] lesshaste_: one moment, I don't think you can do it by repo [15:46] ikonia, ok [15:46] ikonia: Hey. He wants downgrade his backports [15:46] ikonia, ah, i see. the 775 is the permission mode and the -R makes it recursive [15:46] Slart, yea hehe this is mysterious. First of all, how could it just suddenly start demanding the DNS ip's to work, and why is everything else than MSN working when I got the DNS ip's :| [15:46] Hi, any reason synaptic marks for update packages which have been pinned to a particular version? [15:46] lesshaste_: I see [15:46] jimmy51: you got it [15:46] lesshaste_: this is a bit of a longshot, but: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep bpo you might get mixed results. [15:46] jimmy51: you want it to be able to see the images too, not just the dir, hence the -R [15:46] decline: I have no idea.. it's very weird [15:47] I've recently wiped my old computer and gave it away, and the other hard drive on it I did not wipe had ubuntu on it. If I just put the hard drive into my new computer, would it work? [15:47] tried amsn? [15:47] Gnea, hard to tell if that worked or not [15:47] ikonia, any help much appreciated [15:47] Joeseph, you might have to edit grub [15:47] lesshaste_: that just tives you a list. try pastebining it [15:47] !pastebin | lesshaste_ [15:47] lesshaste_: 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) [15:48] Dante123: bah.. silly flash app doesn't work with my ff3 =/ [15:48] lesshaste_: I can't see anything within the dpkg man page that suggests it can read the repo's the package came from [15:48] Shujah_: but It might work? is the only way to try? [15:48] Gnea, http://paste.ubuntu.com/27293/ [15:48] okay Slart. I forgot it was flash based [15:48] ikonia, ok so any tips on how to remove all backports? [15:48] lesshaste_: I'm wondering if you delselect proposed which should update apt-cache policy, and do an apt-get update will it prompt you for the downgrade [15:49] lesshaste_: s/proposed/backports [15:49] ikonia, it didn't sadly [15:49] i'm having some problems installing virtual box [15:49] Joeseph, if the grub address fro hd doesnt change e.g. it was hd0 and its hd0 now then it'll boot - so you might try to boot you'll know [15:49] lesshaste_: give me a few minutes, [15:49] ikonia, unless there just weren't any.. but I suspect it only goes up that way [15:49] ikonia, ok [15:49] here is the error message: VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel, e.g. virtualbox-ose-modules-generic.. [15:49] How do I get the pidgin avant plugin to work? [15:49] can anyone help please [15:49] lesshaste_: sorry, i'm not sure :( [15:50] Gnea, ok [15:50] thanks anyway [15:50] ross: it told you what to do [15:50] ross: Are you using the os version? Why not head over to their site and grab the binary package. It builds the kernel module automatically and provides usb support. [15:50] lesshaste_: good luck [15:50] basically my sound has died so how about just reinstalling everything sound related [15:50] ross vbox has a channel.. but did you install it from our repos or go and try to get the latest and do it yourself [15:50] is that possible? [15:50] how do you reinstall packages? [15:50] ross: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [15:50] Shujah_: Alrighty, then I'll give it a try. but, while I'm here.... I'd like to wipe my ubuntu install also and install UbuntuStudio. since I do not have a DVD player in my computer, I can't install it that way. Could I wipe and reinstall from the command line? [15:51] errr [15:51] lesshaste_: do you have synaptic ? [15:51] ikonia, yes [15:51] ikonia, but I mostly use the command line [15:51] i installed it from the site [15:51] ikonia: ok, my permissions are read/write for root, but read only for all else. i still can't get/put files. either i don't have the tftproot set to the correct folder, or something else is going on. [15:51] jimmy51: one moment [15:51] HELP!!! just did an update (system said there were updates available, went with it. Said it updated Firefox, and i needed to restart firefox, so i closed down the browser, and attempted to start it up. it gives me this "Failed to execute child process "firefox" (No such file or directory)" so i try in the terminal, and it tells me it isnt installed, so i do "sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0 (as it tells me too) and it returns: firefox-3.0 is already [15:51] the newest version....what did i do? [15:51] !find vbox [15:51] Found: isdnvbox, isdnvboxclient, isdnvboxserver, raccess4vbox3, vbox3 [15:52] after sudo modprobe vboxdrv, it says "FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found." [15:52] Joeseph, you mean wipe ubuntu then install ubuntu studio? how are you gonna mount the iso - you aint got the cd-rom? [15:52] what to do what to do [15:52] lesshaste_: if you search for ubp in synaptic it shows all the backport packages, which if you then mark for re-install it will re-install from main rather than backports [15:52] /j #perl.it [15:52] ross: it tells you to install it from the repository, not from a website [15:52] hi all. no connection to linux or ubuntu, but still: Does anyone know if I can use my phone to stream mp3 in fm so that my car radio can play whatever I want? :) I know there are such things to buy, still would be great to do it from my phone [15:53] lesshaste_: got it, get the package "apt-show-versions" [15:53] gnea: ok, i just searched for virtual box on the repos [15:53] gnea: um [15:53] Shujah_: UbuntuStudio takes a DVD. I have the iso, but I can't use it cause I have no DVD player. I could take a dvd player form one of my other systems if I had to though. [15:53] gnea: there are a lot of choices here [15:53] lesshaste_: then do apt-show-versions -i; apt-show-versions -b | grep hardy-backports [15:53] ross: and it still tells you the name of the package [15:53] gnea: which modules should i install? [15:53] Hey guys. I've added a new HDD into my machine and it is seen as /dev/sda so all my other devices got a new major device number. I have a modified fstab for mounting one partition and only this partition broke because i didn't use uuidgen. how can i get a uuid of a partition? === sbazemore is now known as sbazemore_ [15:54] ross: read what you stated [15:54] !uuid [15:54] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [15:54] bartmon: uuid === sbazemore_ is now known as sbazemore [15:54] jimmy51: sorry, you where saying [15:54] gnea: AHA [15:54] .......Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel, e.g. virtualbox-ose-modules-generic......... [15:54] Joeseph, well yeah you can mount the dvd by acetonel (on still installed ubuntu) but I'm not sure if it'll work [15:54] ikonia, permissions look correct (when viewed with thunar) but i still can't GET/PUT [15:54] Jack_Sparrow, ikonia: excellent, thanks! [15:54] np [15:55] Shujah_: It might just be easier to get a dvd player.... === sbazemore is now known as sbazemore_ [15:55] jimmy51: what does your tftp config show ? [15:55] ross: cat /proc/version will tell you what kernel you're using [15:55] Joeseph, it is, and much less likely to backfire [15:55] ikonia, that's in /etc/inetd.conf, right? [15:55] jimmy51: don't know, is that where you set it up? [15:55] gnea: ok, i'm using the 18-generic vesion [15:55] jimmy51: hang on, I'll get it myself [15:55] Joeseph, though you might wanna check the md5 before going through all the hassle [15:55] Shujah_: alright, I'll probably try that... that way I don't even have to boot it. [15:56] ross: then download the 18-generic package [15:56] anyone? [15:56] ikonia, thanks.. I feel we are very close... you didn't quite mean apt-show-versions -i; apt-show-versions -b | grep hardy-backports [15:56] did you? [15:56] Shujah_: what is the md5... wait, I'll llook it up. [15:56] gnea: only the 18-generic package? [15:56] ikonia: in my inetd.conf i have this: tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /var/lib/tftpboot [15:56] ikonia, that lists things like autoconf/hardy uptodate 2.61-4 [15:56] lesshaste_: still working it thorugh [15:56] jimmy51: ok [15:56] Is there a command line interface to burning a cdrom? Is it as simple as dd? [15:57] ross: whatever works [15:57] Joeseph, md5 is a dvd/cd check to see if the data was corrupted during download - [15:57] jimmy51: what version of ubuntu are you using ? [15:57] ok [15:57] m-c: yes. no. [15:57] ikonia: 8.04 [15:58] Shujah_: oh.... Wiki told me it was a cryptographic algorithm that is now considered unsafe.... hahaha [15:58] jimmy51: I've just pulled down tftpd and it setup the tftp root as /srv/tftp [15:58] md5 is unsafe :s [15:58] hangnails are unsafe [15:58] Gnea: Ah. So, what program provides the command line interface to burn a cdrom? [15:58] is there an audio/video player that plays all formats and codecs in ubuntu such as vlc in windows? [15:58] ikonia, ok, maybe my config is bad. i'll change the root to /srv/tftp [15:58] I have another question. Why is my new IDE device located at /dev/sdX and not /dev/hdX as the other IDE devices i have? [15:59] mic1394: you mean vlc for ubuntu? [15:59] m-c: cdrecord [15:59] mic1394: vlc can be installed in windows, linux, AND mac [15:59] mic1394: vlc [15:59] jimmy51 changing it won't do anything I'm more concerned why your config is different than mine out of the box [15:59] Gnea Thank you [15:59] gnea: it's installing [15:59] is there anything better than vlc ? or do u guys suggest anthing else? [15:59] ikonia, i'm folliwng this procedure: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_pxe_install_server [16:00] Joeseph, wiki md5 sum :P [16:00] mic1394: mplayer is nice, but vlc tends to top everything these days [16:00] hmm [16:00] thanks everyone [16:00] jimmy51: that is for version 6.10 [16:00] jimmy51: thats over 18 months old [16:00] Gnea Is the cdrecord application part of the ubuntu repositories? [16:00] ikonia: it's for edgy, so i've changed the package to get the hardy packages [16:01] jimmy51: yes, but more than package names change [16:01] jimmy51: hardy lays things out very differently [16:01] m-c: yes [16:01] jimmy51: for example hardy uses tcpd wrappers, edgy did not [16:01] jimmy51: you can't mix and match guides like that [16:01] Gnea Just found it, nevermind [16:01] Shujah_: that makes sense... so that's how it works... interesting. [16:01] ikonia, is there a 8.04 guide for PXE under ubuntu? [16:01] hy there [16:02] please help me [16:02] :| [16:02] !ask | danutzu [16:02] danutzu: 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. :-) [16:02] jimmy51: look in the official documentation projects, rather than third party ones. https://help.ubuntu.com and https://wiki.ubuntu.com [16:02] my pidgin yahoo is not login me to yahoo is getting closed [16:02] ikonia: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer looks like i should try [16:03] how do I make it work??

[16:03] i'm having some problems with ubuntu [16:03] when the comp goes into standby [16:03] i can't get it to come back [16:04] i can't get it to stop going on standby [16:04] please help me [16:04] Blade_Wizard_Fal, reinstall via synaptic doesnt work? [16:04] how do I make the yahoo pidgin to work === yacc_ is now known as yacc [16:04] shujah_:no, tried that too [16:05] the pidgin yahoo is getting closed when I'm login to my user [16:05] Blade_Wizard_Fal: try to do an apt-get remove firefox-3.0 and then afterwards an apt-get install [16:05] pleaseeeeeeeee [16:05] !helpme | danutzu [16:05] danutzu: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [16:06] hi all [16:06] working on the yard bbl. [16:06] jimmy51: it has a recent update on it, so it looks like it could work on current [16:06] okay I'm getting 404 errors in ubuntu when aptitude tries to update and access http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/???? I can access those just fine and they exist. Why can't ubuntu fetch them? [16:07] how to install gcc compiler from cd? [16:07] hey all, is there a way as administrator to echo directly to a different user's shell? [16:07] i'm running ubuntu and i would like to create on the same HD a FAT32 partition.. how can i create it ? [16:08] shader42: write [16:08] ikonia, ok. i'll format and start from scratch with that guide (new machine anyway) [16:08] d0t, use cfdisk [16:08] FFS! my pidgin just screwed up again and its using all my ram and most cpu and its uninterruptable [16:08] jimmy51: seems over kill, but if that makes you feel more comforable [16:08] DeFirence: we know what FFS means, please don't use it any more [16:09] Hello. Is there a way to install all of the debug symbol packages for my installed apps? I've added the ddebs repository, I'm just tired of hunting for -dbgsym packages. [16:09] ikonia: probably overkill, but it doens't take too long. thanks for helping thus far [16:09] err, its eating my pc from the inside [16:09] jimmy51: no problem [16:09] and i cant do anything [16:09] except a cold reboot [16:09] might try recompiling pidgin then. [16:10] why ? [16:10] codyzapp: why would recopiling pidgin change that ? [16:10] recompiling [16:10] s's: didn't work...still the same error... [16:10] Hmmm, I'm experiencing poor copying performance (<4MB/s) between two HDDs with UDMA6 enabled. Any ideas? [16:11] might be a bug in your pidgin. or a missing componet or file etc. [16:11] this is the second time this has happened [16:11] codyzapp: it's precompiled by ubuntu - how could it have missing file or component [16:11] you accidently delete it? or something goes screwy. [16:12] firefox always freezes... :/ [16:12] codyzapp: come on - so surly a re-install of pidgin would be more realistic than a recompile [16:12] how can I switch to some non alsa sound system to see if that will help? [16:12] Starnestommy: ty [16:13] I'd do a re-install of pidgin from the terminal and go from there [16:13] how do i uninstall ubuntu tweak? [16:13] tweak? [16:13] DG19075: why from the terminal ? [16:13] ? [16:13] apt-get remover --purge ubuntutweak [16:13] yes [16:13] ikonia, you can see if any errors show up. [16:14] DG19075: but why suggest from the terminal [16:14] codyzapp: synaptic will show the same errors [16:14] Hello, I just tried apt-get update and he can't find the edgy-security sources. [16:14] Is this because edge-security doesn't exist anymore? [16:14] andare put in the install cd and install Ubuntu? [16:14] I've always had good resuls there ; sometinmes a GUI install is buggy [16:14] i am try'n to find out how to tweak ubuntu for better performance [16:14] DG19075: nonsense [16:15] i do have ubuntu [16:15] hm I guess you cannot do so much, you could try to deactivate the automatic services... [16:15] ubuntu tweak is a program that i was try'n to use and i don't want it no more [16:15] Spockz: I think edgy isn't supported anymore [16:15] andare: there is no package for it as I recall, you have to remove it by hand [16:15] cuz i am try'n to find out how to tweak the performance [16:16] Starnestommy: aha, is there a way I can upgrade? Or should I do a new install? [16:16] and how would i remove it from hand? [16:16] Spockz: I'm not sure [16:16] andare: manually remove the files you installed [16:16] i'm new use'n liux srry ppl [16:16] andare: that is one of the downsides of not using package managed software [16:17] i don't like to use windows [16:17] guys i need to mount a digital camera via terminal but is telling me that is not a block device can someone help?

Grazie! [16:19] how?

[16:23] Kopfgeldjaeger: sorry, those messages where not meant for you [16:23] andare: that depends on the reason it's slow, you need to diagnose why it's slow [16:23] ok but i want a backup tool that can restore my installed software also [16:23] ok [16:23] is there? [16:23] kaolaBuntuPH: then you need some sort of generic whole system image tool [16:23] how about aptoncd? [16:23] i got my computer for about $100 and it was made for windows 2000 [16:24] What about PING [16:24] b [16:24] http://ping.windowsdream.com/ [16:24] dont let windowsdream confure you [16:24] kaolaBuntuPH, aptoncd is for the purposes of installing ubuntu -- not really backing up and restoring [16:24] <[globa|fin]> Hey. I want to install xfce. Currently I have Ubuntu 8.04 server install. I installed a GUI by typing [sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop] which installed the latest GNOME. To install Xfce, can I just do [sudo aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop] and then type in [sudo aptitude install xfce]? To installed Xfce? [16:24] but you can restore softwares using it right? [16:25] kaolaBuntuPH: no [16:25] kaolaBuntuPH: it makes a local repo, nothing more [16:25] so then i guess my computer is really slow cuz i don't have the $$$ to upgrade so that's why i'm try'n to learn how to tweak and overclock if it's possible for my computer to even handle it [16:25] kaolaBuntuPH, not necessarily -- it's quite possible that you upgraded packages from the online repositories and in the process pulled in other dependencies too [16:25] andare: overclocking is a bad idea [16:25] so no software installed will be reinstalled then? [16:25] andare: and is not something that is a topic in this channel [16:25] yo, i need repository help. i'm having problems with the medibuntu repository when i use update manager [16:25] then what about tweaking? [16:25] [globa|fin] there's more to removing gnome, but you can install sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop to run xfce. Just choose it under options->sessions on the login screen [16:25] ok srry [16:25] andare: how much ram do you have ? [16:25] can u gve me a specific name for the image copy thing for ubuntu? [16:26] [globa|fin] to be clear, you don't have to remove gnome to install xfce. [16:26] can sbackup do it also? [16:26] sd 765 mb [16:26] kaolaBuntuPH: you have been given a few, [16:26] andare: and what cpu ? [16:26] Anyone here familiar with configuring ubuntu and a linksys wpc54gs card? [16:26] guess i have to search [16:26] kaolaBuntuPH yes, sbackup will do it if you set it up properly. [16:26] i don't know my cpu [16:26] srry [16:26] <[globa|fin]> nickrud, thank you for your response. Say I want to remove xfce later, can I just type [sudo aptitude remove xubuntu-desktop]? Thanks [16:26] ok thanks for the help [16:26] kaolaBuntuPH: or just read the messages people are giving you [16:27] I have removed Medibuntu from sources.list, but apt still looks for updates there.

[18:42] wols_: do i need to delete the partition and then resize it ? [18:42] (next time use aptitude to install it in the files in the first place) [18:42] ok, i will try that then [18:42] wols_: data [18:42] redduck676: that would mean he understands waht a makefile means [18:42] yeah, i will [18:42] d0t: why?

[18:43] Reformer81, as far as I know only way to do that would be to increase the unhide time of bottom panel 10 times and use awn on top of it [18:43] d0t: you can etierh delte it and recreate it at the new size or use gparted [18:43] kafitz: you can look at the files in the install target and remove them by hand. [18:43] Shujah-1: Hmm... I guess that is doable.

[19:17] hey, I can't connect to my windows shares from my feisty install. anyone knows why? The shares do work. Just not from the feisty install. Simply get a message that the share couldn't mount.

[19:19] Malix: get a new profile. it IS the newest and not 3.0b5 [19:19] !network [19:19] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [19:19] !windowsNetwork [19:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about windowsnetwork [19:19] !windows [19:19] when i install fglrx and do everything like its written in ubuntu site.. after reboot it sais that my graphic and my monitor are not recognized and i need to do that manually.. but there is no ASUS to choose only acer [19:19] For discussion on Microsoft Windows, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [19:19] Evening all... if you were daft enough to install with no swap partition, is there a gui for adding a swapfile easily? [19:20] socialevil: then you need to edit xorg.conf manually. you can do that now with radeon driver too [19:20] wols_: k. but I really don't see how a new profile could affect which version the application says it is? or am I just rather dense here? [19:20] hooray for the useless autosense [19:20] wols_, i cant.. i dont know what to edit .. [19:20] though it is rather weird I get beta5 currently [19:20] Malix: dpkg doesn't lie. either you have a local copy of the firefox binary somewhere (in ~ or /usr/local) or it's the profile [19:21] Malix: only the newest deb package isinstalled and NOT 3.0b5 [19:21] redduck676: keeps saying missing argument to '-exec' [19:21] sploozer: either add a + at the end of '\;' (+ being prefered) [19:21] Funcan: i don't believe there is a gui for that, but you can easily make one with dd, mkswap and swapon [19:21] when i go to Places -> Network -> Windows Network, i can see windows computers, but i can't actually connect to them. i am not prompted for a username/pw either. how do i troubleshoot this? [19:22] find /test53/* -size -290k -type f -exec rm -f +'{}'\'; [19:22] ? [19:22] ozzloy: I'm having the exact same problem [19:22] Joeseph: ^5! [19:22] sploozer: no. find /test53/ -size -290k -type f [19:22] ozzloy, Joeseph: Do you know if Samba is properly installed? [19:22] if you like what you see add a '-delete' at the end [19:22] Joeseph: ping me in here if you find a solution [19:22] Hi People! I lately used a nice programm for watching videos, but I forgot its name. I installed it with apt-get in ubuntu. Any idea? [19:23] mplayer ? [19:23] bobertdos: shoot, I forgot I wiped it this morning... maybe, I'll check synaptic [19:23] bobertdos: i did sudo aptitude install samba, not sure what else is necessary [19:23] SwedeMike: no, i think it was vlc... [19:24] is there any harm in uninstalling network-manager and network-manager-gnome? [19:24] redduck676: I still need the exec component thought for it to remove those files [19:24] wols_: I agree with you 100%, it should be 3.0 and not 3.0b5, and there are no local copies as far as I can tell [19:24] Does anyone have a problem with the k system tray? Many times the icons appear in windows on the desktop. Anyone else have that problem? [19:24] is there any truth, that keeping 1mb of free space between partitions is a more safe way ? [19:24] melter: just make sure you have another manager before you uninstall it [19:24] find /test53/* -size -290k -type f -exec rm -f '{}'\; [19:24] mg: well then, vlc is also a video player [19:24] Kirbuchi: like what? [19:24] wols_: and it was 3.0 final as of few days ago [19:24] find /test53/* -size -290k -type f -exec rm +f '{}'\; [19:24] How do I install the Hardy Heron php packages on Dapper? I have opened up backports if that helps. [19:24] sploozer: for the 3rd or so time, use -delete. [19:25] ther are quite a frew rss client, i dont know with one to try, they all semm good, any advice? [19:25] if you really inisit you can use -exec echo rm -rf {} + [19:25] Funcan: to be more specific: "dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=1000000" makes a gigabyte (empty) file, "mkswap swapfile" will make it a swap file, and "swapon swapfile" will make it available to the system. [19:25] wols_: we noticed the issue when adblock ceased to work [19:25] bobertdos: I now have samba. what do I need to do now? [19:25] Hi! I have a problem with my microphone on a Lenovo T60. I hear myself speaking when I wear a headset, but skype and ekiga don't capture anything.

[19:27] does anyone know how the 'Sharing Options' feature works? works great for me, but I'd like to know where the settings get persisted to. they seem to be user-specific, not system-wide, yet i can't find anything in my home directory [19:27] normloman: what do you mean with "selected"? It's not muted, anyway [19:28] Joeseph, ozzloy: In theory, Samba should be all that's needed. What version of Windows are you running on that end? [19:28] #ubuntu-de [19:28] lemme see something [19:28] hold on [19:28] melter: no it's not just for wireless, its a gui for conecting to diferent networks wired or wireless. I really don't know much about that, i used network-manager and it worked fine with wired networks but always gave problems with wireless, so i tried wicd and now it works fine with both [19:29] Wicd is nice to use it does give you more options than network-manager [19:29] bobertods: I'm running vista. [19:29] How it Linux's ATI X1600 support these days? Does it do Compiz yet? ;) [19:29] I can see my Vista-PC, but I don't know how to give it my user name and password. [19:29] well what i did was I went into terminal and typed alsamixer ... then i switched from playback to capture and there is a little symbol next to the device that is select4ed for capture [19:30] bobertdos: windows xp, idk service pack [19:30] bobertdos: i could find out [19:30] seisen: does it work with dhcpcd? network-manager apparently requires dhcp3-client [19:30] like it has the L__R CAPTURE below it [19:30] do you mean does allow dhcp connections? [19:30] but again im no expert. I've been using ubuntu for a few months [19:30] redduck676: thanks [19:30] so you may know this already [19:30] Anyone? ;) [19:31] ozzloy, Joeseph: I would perhaps consider running the network config wizard on your Windows machines again. Other than that, I can't think of a very good reason why this would be happening. [19:31] I'm wondering if ATI's display drivers are better these days from what they were about 8-10 months ago, and if it supports things like Compiz fusion yet? [19:31] server gr.irc.gr [19:32] bobertdos: I can get to it on my windows side. [19:32] hey, why is there no lua.pc pkg-config file installed on Ubuntu by default? [19:32] (that is, when installing the package lua) [19:32] bughunter2, you need a lua-dev or liblua-dev package for that [19:32] howdi! I installed a new firefox upgrade (proposed by apt-update) and lost sound on flash apps [19:32] ah [19:32] normloman: wait a minute, I think I see what you mean. Let me test it with a skype test call [19:32] any idea how to fix it? [19:33] OK, so I'm trying to load Hardy from grub, and I seem to have gotten access from it, but I'm getting initramfs instead of the GUI. How do I access the GUI from here, or is there something wrong? [19:33] ran "sudo ufw status" and it says that my firewall isnt running , is that dangerous? [19:33] I have an upgrade problem need some help [19:33] Seveas: thanks ;) [19:34] ozzloy, when you go into Synaptic, how many of the Samba related packages are installed? [19:34] FF 3.0.1 [19:34] nice distro this hardy === s`s is now known as White_Lightning [19:34] i can connect to the internet via a usb to my nokia mobile phone. I've no idea what chip is used there, probably hsdpa or something. My phone runs Symbian. Is there any chance that there's drivers out there for linux to do the same thing ? That's a fairly wide question admittedly ... [19:34] ok [19:35] Is there a very simplistic build system for Ubuntu that requires only Gedit for source and simply adding the names of source files to a list and typing a simple command to build everything? Makefiles are too tedious and autotools are hopelessly overly complex. [19:35] what r the benifits of compiling a kernel? === White_Lightning is now known as Doctor_Nick [19:35] How it Linux's ATI X1600 support these days? Does it do Compiz yet? ;) [19:35] Psi-Jack, ati isnt too fond of linux [19:35] bobertdos: libsmbclient, nautilus-share, samba, samba-common, smbclient [19:36] OK, so I'm trying to load Hardy from grub, and I seem to have gotten access from it, but I'm getting initramfs instead of the GUI. How do I access the GUI from here, or is there something wrong? [19:36] lol, here seems to be more questions than answers :) [19:36] babo: yes, you can do that, I havent a guide handy though [19:36] normloman: wow, that did work! Thank you! I'd never suspected a mixer problem, I thought it was a misconfigured alsa or something :) [19:36] Psi-Jack, i haev a radeon 2600, and it runs compiz fine, and i had games running but now its all messed up. compiz runs fine for me tho === Doctor_Nick is now known as s`s [19:36] ozzloy: Yeah, that should definitely be enough. You still can't get in? [19:36] bobertdos: other windows machines can connect to it well enough [19:36] jussi01, i can connect to the internet via my symbian mobile phone from the usb on linux ? [19:36] bobertdos: nope, i am not prompted for a username and password, but other ms windows machines are [19:36] no problem piquadrat. Im glad it worked out for you :) [19:36] jussi01, are you sure ? [19:37] babo: certain - I have an n95 myself. === mario_ is now known as Fraggl [19:37] pvl1: Wow, a 2600.. I've got a X1600 [19:37] normloman: you know if theres a way of knowing which sound device an app is running? [19:37] jussi01, i have the E65. that would be a seriously useful feature ... [19:37] Psi-Jack, check the forums [19:37] pvl1: So they have, within the past 8-10 months, made major enough improvements that it's now more than usable? [19:37] pvl1: Ubuntu's forums? [19:38] kirbuchi: im not sure [19:38] Psi-Jack, yea ubuntu forums, and idk i dnt think ati has done anything [19:38] im really not an expert [19:38] would an access point register the MAC address of a laptop ? [19:38] im no hacker. Just a hack. :( [19:38] Hi [19:38] bobertdos: i can connect to the machine that doesn't require a username password [19:38] normloman: lol, thanks anyway [19:38] jussi01, how do you do it ? [19:38] but some programs like ardour let you select teh device. I know that. [19:38] lol banned from #wikipedia cause the stupidity of the masses [19:39] ozzloy: What's your Workgroup name on Window's side? [19:39] babo: as I said no guide handy, but have a google round [19:39] LordMetroid: Try to keep it related to Ubuntu support here, thanks. [19:39] How do I load up the GUI from a kernal screen I'm getting? [19:39] Kernel, even. [19:39] Pici: Sorry [19:40] bobertdos: i'll go find out [19:40] i am trying to update to ubuntu 8.0.4 from 7.0.4 but when i try to upgrade to 7.10 from the update manager, it stops while trying to update the sourcelists.. i ve found out that sourceslist.org was down... how can i do, please? [19:40] LordMetroid: #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat if you're so inclined [19:40] Do I have to do anything before installing Ubuntu? Like safety precautions? [19:40] I click on AWN to open it. The screen flashes but the dock doesn't appear. any ideas? [19:40] open it up in a terminal and see what it says, Matthew12 [19:41] How do I load up the GUI from a kernel screen I'm getting when trying to access Hardy from grub? [19:41] When running exaile i get the follwoing error /usr/lib/exaile/exaile.py line30 import error: no module gobject [19:41] Oswy: Is there a command prompt at the screen? [19:41] My computer freezes completely sometimes [19:42] bobertdos: Yeah. [19:42] This happens usually when it is under heavy use === XLV is now known as Guest36947 [19:42] After a reboot everything works fine, but I'm starting to feel like a Windows user [19:42] HALo [19:42] Falling-Inferno: no, there's not much you have to do, just back up personal data if you're afraid of losing anything in the process [19:42] seisen: oh duh, thanks...compiz wasn't enabled [19:42] bobertdos: I'm getting (initramfs) as my prompt now. [19:42] HALOO [19:43] np [19:43] Oswy: try typing in startx [19:43] bobertdos: Command not found. [19:43] bobertdos: What about after? Like security and making sure I have everything I will need to run correcty? [19:44] i have a hand gun [19:44] Oswy: hmm, you might not be in a bash terminal then.............Did you just install Hardy? === ebuyer-eastyorks is now known as eth01 [19:44] !ot | Money [19:44] Money: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [19:44] Hi i am trying to update to ubuntu 8.0.4 from 7.0.4 but when i try to upgrade to 7.10 from the update manager, it stops while trying to update the sourcelists.. i ve found out that sourceslist.org was down... how can i do, please? [19:44] Money: !offtopic [19:44] bobertdos: the windows admin says we're using active domains so there is no workgroup [19:44] I GOT MONEY [19:44] Are there some standard steps to follow to figure out where some files in a package are being installed? I have installled the glasshfishv2 package, but I can't find where to find the executable... [19:45] Falling-Inferno: Well, that depends on what you want to DO with Hardy. What are you going to be doing with it? [19:45] howdi! I installed a new firefox upgrade (3.0.1) (proposed by apt-update) and lost sound on flash apps - youtube, for example [19:45] any idea why? [19:45] heh ;) [19:45] bobertdos: Yeah. I've been using edgy on that computer, though, so I had to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to get it to work. I've been experimenting for a while, but I finally got the right combination, it seems. === XLV_ is now known as XLV [19:45] Could it be some imprecision on my end that's causing this? I got the Ubuntu loading screen, after which it brought me here. [19:45] ozzloy: Oh, well that would probably be why. You'll need to supply Ubuntu with your domain name. [19:45] Hey all.. Do anyone of you know a page where to get informations about pimping the look of ubuntu. like with semi transperent weatherpanel and WAN ip written on the desktop. [19:45] bobertdos: Im going to start learning how to program C, I like watching movies, Music, and Gaming, I also need Network Security and such so I can run my Website. [19:46] wild_oscar, that last update did not break my sound, I don't think [19:46] hello [19:46] wild_oscar, I guess if it did I'd remember. You restarted Firefox of course? [19:46] !ComprehensiveSambaGuide | ozzloy [19:46] bobertdos: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:47] heh [19:47] I'm trying to organize some of my stuff. doing mv /mnt/media/music/* /mnt/media causes my ubuntu box to freeze up. nothing in /var/log/messages nothing in /var/log/syslog help? [19:47] umadaop1: several times [19:47] erm.. that 2nd path should be /mnt/music .. two different drives (not that it should matter) === ebuyer-eastyorks is now known as eth01 [19:47] ozzloy: You may want to read this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ComprehensiveSambaGuide?highlight=(samba) [19:47] bobertdos: I also do allot of stuff like customizing as much as i can. [19:47] i am trying to update to ubuntu 8.0.4 from 7.0.4 but when i try to upgrade to 7.10 from the update manager, it stops while trying to update the sourcelists.. i ve found out that sourceslist.org was down... how can i do, please? [19:47] scoates, by "freeze up" do you mean you are not waiting long enough, or your mouse locks? [19:47] umadaop1: I'm doing it remotely... the console stops responding, too, though [19:48] if i install ubuntu to an external hard drive then boot it on different computers, will i have a lot of problems? [19:48] !ltsp | android6011 [19:48] android6011: LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, which adds thin-client support to Linux servers. See chapter 3 of the !edubuntuhandbook, http://www.ltsp.org and/or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project [19:49] bobertdos: it says "with a Workgroup configuration, not Domain" emphasis original [19:49] umadaopl i mean boot on different computers just by carrying it around and booting from usb [19:49] I have a file that will be created daily with the $(date '+%F) flag in the filename, so for each day, I will have filename-YYYY-MM-DD.txt, How can I automate an ftp upload for a dynamic file name in that folder? [19:49] Falling-Inferno: I am not an expert when it comes to securing Webservers, but programming in C is a very easy thing to prep Ubuntu for. All you need is to install GCC. As for media stuff, I will call the bot to help you :) [19:49] android6011, such a bad idea [19:50] !medibuntu | Falling-Inferno [19:50] I sort of want to do filename=$today kind of thing [19:50] android6011, unless like a usb flash installation [19:50] i want to see my network-adress in the upper Panel. Tips anyone ? [19:50] Falling-Inferno: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org - it is currently offline due to load issues [19:50] Sorlag: how do you mean? [19:50] umadaopl what do you mean [19:50] bobertdos, I can bring up a list of the possible commands, if that helps. [19:50] Sorlag, giplet [19:50] It's kinda long though. [19:50] umadaop1: no idea? )-: [19:50] bobertdos: What does it mean "Legal Reasons" [19:50] Sorlag, sudo apt-get install giplet [19:51] scoates, I'm thinking searching google for a know bug. or reinstalling flash [19:51] i have a problem with my alsa .. i cant hear 2 things at the same time.. just skype or just movie or just juk or just youtube.. i coudnt find any answers in google.. only people with the same problem.. [19:51] Thank You umadaop1 [19:51] scoates, known [19:51] Sorlag, np [19:51] bobertdos: or does it refer to the GPL Licenses i can't put it under the license. [19:51] umadaop1: it's a fresh install.. barely anything on there. I'm suspecting a hardware problem.. ? [19:52] eth01 just like giplet does ^^ [19:52] Falling-Inferno: Oh so it IS down after all. Well, there are other alternatives too. Installing the xine libraries and all of the gstreamer packages will allow you to play almost anything under the sun (except Windows Meida formats, basically). Otherwise, VLC is the media player of choice. [19:52] scoates, was there ever sound from flash in firefox, obviously huh or you would not have noticed. If so, I doubt hardware issue. === richard is now known as Shady [19:52] Sorlag: bit of a long shot.. [19:52] Hey I am trying to get a paged laid out so an image is centered above a body of text I tried (single quotes because it's in an echo statement and requires them) what am I doing wrong? [19:53] Falling-Inferno: I can guide you through the process, if you'd like. PM me if you feel like it. [19:53] umadaop1: not sure what this would have to do with flash or firefox (mine's the disk problem + crash).. [19:53] socialevil: i currently have the same problem. i can play music while simultaneusly playing audio on firefox but some programs like skype do not work with others [19:53] and I don't even have the GUI installed [19:53] Whoops, how do I exit recovery mode? [19:53] scoates, you lost me [19:54] ikonia: are you here today? [19:54] Kirbuchi, no way :S :( damn grrrr cry [19:54] Falling-Inferno: Well, I sent you that because it's the repository that let's you install Windows codecs and so forth, but since it's down, we can go about this other ways. [19:54] umadaop1: I think you have me confused with someone else. my problem is: [19:54] bobertdos: I will PM you after I install Hardy. As I can't do it due to the fact i'm using the CD demo. [19:54] I'm trying to organize some of my stuff. doing mv /mnt/media/music/* /mnt/music causes my ubuntu box to freeze up. nothing in /var/log/messages nothing in /var/log/syslog help? Two different disks. Console freezes. [19:54] socialevil: i think it's because those programs use hardware directly i'm not really sure [19:54] Falling-Inferno: sounds good [19:54] test?? [19:55] scoates: mv -v maybe ? [19:55] bobertdos: alright let me get through the install and I will see you in a bit. [19:55] scoates: or try a copy, and then delete the originals [19:55] Falling-Inferno: one more thing [19:55] wols_, do you have any idea about my problem with video card [19:55] linxeh: tried that. same problem. It's not just taking a long time, it actually panics and/or crashes [19:55] scoates: or use rsync to clone the two trees [19:55] bobertdos: Ok what is it? [19:55] linxeh: I'm not looking for a workaround. I'd like to know how a user can crash the entire box with mv, and fix that. [19:55] scoates: sounds like a dodgy driver / hardware, or configuration option on the device - what media is it ? [19:56] linxeh: both disks. [19:56] hard disks, I mean [19:56] ATA [19:56] as I said, what is it ? [19:56] PATA, SATA, Intel, SiS, etc ? [19:56] ls [19:56] PATA [19:56] Falling-Inferno: "Legal reasons" just basically means that Ubuntu cannot officially offer Medibuntu's packages in its own repositories and that Ubuntu's people cannot "officially" provide support for those packages. [19:56] different channels [19:56] socialevil: I told you long ago you must manually edit xorg.conf to specify the monitor [19:56] scoates: and Intel, SiS, VIA, NVidia, ... ? [19:57] wols_, and i told you that i dont understand what to edint :S [19:57] I believe it's intel. rebooting to find out now [19:57] scoates: is it overclocked at all ? [19:57] Falling-Inferno: Which leaves it up to the community members to help each, hence this channel :D [19:57] linxeh: no. P4/2.26GHz [19:57] bobertdos: Thanks, Alright I will see you in a bit. [19:57] scoates, sorry I did get your issue mixed up [19:57] umadaop1: np (-: [19:58] scoates, yeah, that does sound hardware related [19:58] scoates: ok, and both drives are on 80 wire cables, with cable select? or Master or ? [19:58] linxeh: 00:0f.1 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C586A/B/VT82C686/A/B/VT823x/A/C PIPC Bus Master IDE (rev 06) [19:59] linxeh: they're both on 80 wire with CS. Come to think of it, they're on the same channel (got that mixed up; sorry). Really shouldn't crash either way [19:59] ok, what kernel are you running ? [19:59] stock 8.04 [20:00] 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP [20:00] hmm [20:00] I had both of these disks in another machine, previously, so if it's hardware, I suspect it's RAM / IDE controller [20:01] yeah, I was just about to ask if you had run a memtest [20:01] hey, i have the problem that sometimes i don't get an ip assigned on my router. ithe icon on desktop says wired network connection but all the other info is 0.0.0.0.0 i tried disbling en enabling the connection but stays the same, the router is fine since i don't have problems with windows computers [20:01] guess I could do that. won't take long with 192MB (-; [20:01] I'd also be tempted to try another IDE cable [20:01] sure, I can try that, too [20:01] hey all [20:01] how can I mount something with exec rather than noexec please?? [20:01] bobertdos: before I switch I have 1 more question. [20:01] linxeh: is there an ubuntu-way for me to inject memtest into grub? [20:02] (via apt, I mean) [20:02] Hi [20:02] I dread to think how long the 2TB ram machines at work take to memtest [20:02] scoates: the bootcd has a memtest option I think [20:02] hmm.. no CDRom in it now. Will poke around. [20:02] might be on the disk too though [20:02] not got a machine to look at atm [20:02] scoates: yu can manually edit /boot/grub/grub.conf [20:02] how software i must install on ubuntu when i want transfer data from ubuntu to windows with winscp [20:03] ActionParsnip: yeah. I was hoping there'd be an ubuntu-friendly trick to automate that [20:03] I've installed Hardy on an USB stick. Is it possible to get that Hardy to a CD? I'm in a place where I cannot download ISO from net, and the USB stick is my only hope === poningru_ is now known as poningru [20:03] scoates: its not hard at all [20:03] The laptop doesn't see it [20:03] what was the name of the graphical admin tool for linux? [20:03] bobertdos: I have a Second hard drive that is formated in a Win Partition. How would I put that in a Linux partition? [20:03] kristian_: how do you mean? [20:03] can anyone tell me if this will allow me to hook to pc's together to run as one machine using ubuntu for normal desktop work http://hadoop.apache.org/core/docs/current/cluster_setup.html [20:03] scoates: if you add memtest86=true into the grub.conf then update-grub [20:03] david123: no [20:03] linxeh: ty [20:04] david123: hadoop doesnt let them work as 1 machine [20:04] to add users etc... it was mainly for server use..without x [20:04] linxeh, what does it do? [20:04] is it possble that your NIC is broken even tough the ligh of connected is green? [20:04] Falling-Inferno: What do you mean? How would you use the data on that hard drive with Linux? [20:04] FWIW, it's menu.lst, not grub.conf [20:04] linxeh, does a beowulf cluster allow that then? [20:04] Hello, does anybody knows how to install the drivers for an internal wifi card when the (incomplete) tutorial from the french ubuntu website does not help ? [20:04] david123: its more a divide and conquer approache - breaking data into chunks and processing each chunk separately on a different machine, then combining the results [20:05] bobertdos: I want to be able to acsess it when I get on linux and I don't want it in a Windows Partition. [20:05] david123: a beowulf cluster is a similar approach, but more transparent. there is no easy way to make a cluster of machines behave like 1 big machine [20:05] kristian_: please direct you speech, webmin is cool for a web based system [20:05] david123: for one you've got to think about how to divide processes and data across processors and memory that aren't located together, eg over a network - which is slow [20:05] Hi guys... My soundcard is still fckd up... =/ Made it work yeasterday but when i started the computer this morning it stopped working again... =/ Tried the proceedure from the FAQ i got yeasterday... But nothing works [20:05] !webmin | kristian_ [20:05] kristian_: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [20:06] Falling-Inferno: Well you know, Hardy can detect all NTFS partitions and read/write to them as is. [20:06] linxeh, dang see i have two pc's with 600 mhz processors and wanted to combine [20:06] kristian_: I use it, its fine [20:06] i have a 2part problem, for some reason when i installed ubuntu, it somehow made one of my hardrives dissapear (but only on the detection of it, i can still access the information that was on it, it was/is a windows XP partition, it just says everything is on my second harddrive, leaving my 1st harddrive as unallocated space, though winXP detects it correctly). how am i supposed to fix this? [20:06] 2) i am trying to reinstall windows XP, and the install disk says it can't detect any harddrives. i think the problems are related. [20:06] thanks [20:06] bobertdos: Its not NTFS its FAT32. [20:06] linxeh, isn't a network faster than ram? i know faster than hdd but... [20:06] hiya [20:06] i have a small request [20:06] i am trying to update to ubuntu 8.0.4 from 7.0.4 but when i try to upgrade to 7.10 from the update manager, it stops while trying to update the sourcelists.. i ve found out that sourceslist.org was down... how can i do, please? [20:07] [21:04:42] * Joins: arenax (n=arenax@87.120.231.7) [20:07] onthefence929: what is your hdd controller for the harddisks? [20:07] [21:05:51] LINUX FOR EVERRRR DIE WINDOWS DIE [20:07] Falling-Inferno: same thing :D [20:07] so [20:07] DrUiDy: Fresh install works best. [20:07] hi, I am a newbie. can anyone tell me how i sort out which ubuntu distribution i am running? i'm using my coworker's laptop and don't know where to look [20:07] !ntfs-3g | Falling-Inferno [20:07] Falling-Inferno: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [20:07] Falling-Inferno: It can handle that filesystem just as well.

[20:07] !version | demofish [20:07] demofish: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell [20:07] its really bad for nettiquette [20:07] anyways, that would be a shame to not to be able to upgrade.. [20:08] dont trolls turn to stone in the sunlight? [20:08] Caemyr: what troll exactly? [20:08] see the paste upwards [20:08] hmm, i take it !shell = the terminal?

I just got pissed that Add and Remove loaded too slow for my liking and then I thought about the entire OS and I called it quits on Windows. [20:10] can't anybody help me? or give me a good link?

[20:12] ActionParsnip: arenax is trolling on #windows [20:12] and as i see he is one of yours [20:12] Caemyr: mine? [20:13] Caemyr: Please join #ubuntu-ops [20:13] so, another really basic question.. i'm downloading some templates for Open Office and it says i should store them in my openoffice/user/template directory... where does ubuntu put apps in the file system? [20:13] !lspci [20:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about lspci [20:13] Sorry if this isn't the right place, but I'm running ubuntu in VMware Workstation - I'm quite new to the program. Does anybody know if you can run a virtual machine such as mine without needing to use the 'VirtualCenter'? As in, without the virtual machine being listed in VMware? I know you can remove a virtual machine from the list without deleting it... [20:14] ttp://pastebin.org/51313 i can't connect to any of these. what do i do? [20:14] Ideally it would be nice to start a virtual machine by straight-up double clicking it in Vista's Explorer... [20:14] demofish: it is probably on .openoffice (hidden folder) inside your home. [20:14] excuse me, but is there any way I can make gkrellm start up upon login? [20:14] onthefence929: It is a basic terminal command that lists all of the internal hardware devices Ubuntu can detect. [20:14] or else, /usr/local/share/openoffice/ [20:14] Good evening all. As I have *JUST* downloaded latest WINE v1.0 for my Ubuntu 8.04, I still can't get the Camfrog to work properly? Any ideas? [20:14] I installed gkrellm and it doesn't show up in the menus either, anyway I can make it show up there? [20:15] Also is medibuntu down? [20:15] when i remove my external harddrive, it doesnt unmount [20:15] bobertdos: ok so i ran that command, what am i looking for? [20:15] gkrellmhelp: indeed it is, I just found that out myself :) [20:15] bobertdos: thank you for answering :) I tried that too, but it does not seem to work. I used the driver for Windows XP. The installation goes well, but then under the driver name, there's written "Hardware present: no". I've been using the wifi for almost three years, therefore I do know I have a wifi card. Do you have any idea about what I could try ? The french tutorial gives no information abou [20:15] t that. [20:15] so anyway about my other questions, anyone care to shed some light on that? [20:16] bobertdos: I see, thanks for checking. [20:16] bobertdos, wols_, "06:0b.2 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD)" [20:16] trakinas: a ha again! thanks [20:16] if i do ifconfig i get eth0 and eth0:avah what is the last one? :) [20:16] can somebody help me ? [20:16] gkrellmhelp, gkrellm predates gnome and kde...so probably doesn't install to the menus. For gnome you can add it using alacarte or create a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications [20:16] linxeh: memtest passed twice. Going to swap the IDE cable, now. [20:16] aks away dan__ [20:16] onthefence929: You're trying to get that reader to work, right? [20:16] haw i can instal strong dc++ ? [20:16] th0r what's alacard? [20:17] kikou [20:17] gkrellmhelp, alacarte...it is a menu editor for gnome [20:17] and or how would I go about greating a .desktop file? What about making it autostart upon login/boot? [20:17] bobertdos: i guess so, did you see my original question? [20:17] gkrellmhelp, it isn't 100%. [20:18] gkrellmhelp, to get it to autostart have it running when you shut down the first time and tell gnome to save the session. [20:18] i jsut used fire in compiz and am wondering how to make it go away? [20:18] gkrellmhelp, you can use one of the existing .desktop files in that directory as a template for gkrellm...it is only about 5 lines...the rest is all the translations [20:18] anyone know how to make the fire in compiz stop? [20:19] shift+super+c [20:19] thank you [20:19] wow this alacarte thing is easy [20:19] awesome [20:19] onthefence929: Which part are you tackling?

I'm going nuts after somebody else asked me [20:30] it is not shown... [20:30] vixy_fox: i have two 8600GTs working now, i'm pretty sure the 8800 would work [20:30] ohgood: Xubuntu is a flavor of Ubuntu designed to run on machines just like that one. [20:30] is there any way to trick installer by mounting .iso on D:/ [20:31] lets say you want to format a CF card for a Canon camera. you want it FAT formatted.... what do you answer? mkfs.vfat, right?

[20:36] vixy_fox: the problem with the vanilla 32 bit install is that you will not get to use all 6 Gigs of RAM. [20:36] I do have it all 3D though [20:37] nixnoob: This is true. What sort of compatibility issues are you refering too though?

[20:46] CostaRicanQuaker: sudo apt-get install epiphany? [20:46] emmet_, any text editor works [20:46] How I wish mplayer was permitted in this region, such a better overall experience. [20:46] no no it's emerge epiphany [20:46] McShane: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [20:46] heh === Trasher is now known as TheTrash [20:47]  Joeseph: How did you go about editing the file I sent? [20:47] Is there any way to get the mouse cursor automatically position itself above the default choice (button) on any dialogues that open? [20:47] I had it like that no Windows with some add-on or another [20:47] So say if my mouse is at the bottom left of the screen and a dialogue opens in the center, my mouse pointer will move onto the default button for that dialogue (could be Yes, No or whatever) [20:47] on it's own [20:47] bobertdos: gksudo gedit "file" and added a one to it. Now I see windows machines on "network" without having to find the workgroup first. [20:48] i'm really needing help with nvidia driver installation :( [20:48] Okay... so for some reason xawtv is working for me but not recording my sound [20:48] Lusule: the proprietary driver? [20:48] Xavura: I think KDE can do that, not sure about Gnome [20:48] Lusule: What's the problem? [20:48] what is the name of the package downloader on gnome? synaptic? adept? [20:48] linxeh: Damn, ok [20:49] does anyone knows how to configure a card reader on a IBM ThinkPad T61 laptop? [20:49] nixnoob, coldboot: i have an nvidia 9600, and the default driver doesn't seem to work - i need 17.5, but I can't work out how to install it [20:49] CostaRicanQuaker, synaptic is the GUI version, aptitude is the CLI [20:49] shau: It doesn't depend on the laptop model name, you won't get a response to that. [20:49] Xavura: might be wrong. any reason that pressing space/enter isnt suitable ? [20:49] Joeseph: You do have user accounts set up on the Windows machines, yes? [20:49] Lusule: I have the same card pm me [20:49] linxeh: what does space/enter do [20:49] in said situation [20:49] Lusule: Did you download the file and can't run it? [20:49] Xavura: presses the button [20:49] clear [20:50] linxeh: which button presses what? [20:50] bobertdos: When I boot windows, all I have to do is enter the admin user name and password, and I'm good to go. Ubuntu isn't prompting me for one. [20:50] linxeh: Do I need to hold space then hit enter or [20:50] Lusule: Try typing `sh name_of_nvidia_install_file` without the quotes. [20:50] umm has anyone switched from using microsoftSQL in windows to mySQL in ubuntu ? [20:50] coldboot: i can't even download it! I just get spammed with an html page of gibberish when i click the link - nixnoob is helping me [20:50] Lusule: What browser are you using? [20:50] Joeseph: I know [20:50] coldboot, When I come in here I don't get a response period. [20:50] coldboot > what is the information required ? the OS is ubuntu 8.04 [20:50] typically, space presses the selected button (change with the arrow keys), enter presses the default (ie OK or whatever) [20:50] coldboot: firefox [20:50] is there a way for two people to connect to the same terminal so that they both see each other's input output ? [20:50] bobertdos: alright, just making sure you're not fixing the wrong problem. :-D [20:50] !cobol [20:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about cobol [20:50] linxeh: I didn't know that, thanks [20:51] Lusule: Do you have 64-bit or 32-bit ubuntu? [20:51] !fortran [20:51] shau: It's pretty consistent across all computers. [20:51] coldboot: 32-bit [20:51] Xavura: windows does things like that too [20:51] Joeseph: I honestly think Vista is the one being difficult here. Let's see.... [20:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about fortran [20:51] Lusule: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/173.14.09/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.09-pkg1.run [20:51] lol, nobody? [20:51] has anyone switched from using microsoftSQL in windows to mySQL in ubuntu ? [20:51] sorry. trying to find compilers/interpreters before doing apt-cache [20:51] * uga notes down... linux formatting is incompatible with Canon CF cameras FAT [20:51] coldboot - thanks that worked! [20:51] bobertdos: I'll go see if I can see my linux box on vista... [20:51] shau: Go to "Places > Home Folder" [20:51] is there a way for two people to connect to the same terminal so that they both see each other's input output ? [20:52] uga: what was the question ? [20:52] shau: Then plug in the card reader and at least one card. [20:52] Lusule: Something's wrong with your browser if nvidia's page isn't working. [20:52] linxeh: after mkfs.vfat -ing the CF card's partition using linux, the camera won't be able to read it anymore. It claims CF ERR [20:52] the general page is working, just the download link isn't [20:52] uga: should change your notes to: FAT is incompatible with anything [20:52] Lusule: Weird. [20:52] linxeh: I had that myself on a 30D, and another guy using a 400D [20:52] lusule, do you have any script-blocking addons installed? [20:52] uga: I've got a 5D here :P [20:52] ok i'm not being able to downlad any programs wheni type what it tells me into the prompt i get the following sebastian@sebastian:~$ dpkg --configure -a [20:52] mcshane - i'm a noob with a clean install [20:52] dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege [20:52] sebastian@sebastian:~$ [20:52] trakinas: anything except cameras =) [20:53] uga: but hmm, there is something about formatting cards for cameras somewhere, hangon [20:53] CostaRicanQuaker: sudo dpkg ... [20:53] uga: I always use the camera to format them before I start shooting [20:53] uga: i always have troubles with fat in nix, windows, anything [20:53] CostaRicanQuaker: You need to do dpkg stuff as root. [20:53] linxeh: I'm going nuts. I didn't believe the guy until I tested it. mkfs.vfat -F 32 (or 16) /dev/sdc1... [20:53] uga: but i <3 canon === Jesus is now known as Guest67857 [20:53] is there a way for two people to connect to the same linux terminal so that they both see each other's input output ? [20:53] any1 ? mySQL ???? [20:53] Format cards with your camera, not the computer. [20:53] bobertdos: I can see my ubuntu box from vista. [20:53] linxeh: me too usually [20:53] uga: i have a powershoot and i wouldnt trade it for nothing but an eos rebel [20:53] orudie: apt-file search kibitz [20:53] coldboot > I did; It doew not apear anything; neither in /media [20:54] I have hardy heron installed on VMware Workstation (host OS is Vista Ultimate). The virtual machine is set up to bridge its connection to the internet, but I can't get websites to load within it. The funny thing is, Ubuntu can update fine (I just updated from 7.10 to 8.04), so the guest OS DOES have internet access. What's going on? [20:54] coldboot: yes, I do that. Just wondering why linux formatted ones aren't accepted yet windows formatted ones are [20:54] shau: Pull the card out, type dmesg, then put the card in and type dmesg. [20:54] Does anyone know the problem with the appearance of 'jaggies' in onscreen text when using Totem? [20:54] orudie: use 'screen' [20:54] shau: See what messages are different after you put the card back in. [20:54] uga: It might be the wrong options passed to mkfs. [20:54] trakinas: I almost gave away my rebel... 200eur? [20:54] uga: because of fat itself. is a matter of lucky. [20:54] or 150 was it [20:54] uga: It also might be that windows fucks up the formatting a little bit, but cameras have only been configured to work with the messed up version. [20:54] uga: nein. dont have the money now. =/ [20:54] uga: are you sure the camera can read fat32 ? [20:55] coldboot: maybe. I tried several things [20:55] linxeh: afaik yes, but I tried with fat16 too [20:55] which is what the camera uses [20:55] ok [20:55] and fat16 didnt work ? [20:55] where the trash is stored? [20:55] uga: find out which fat it uses. [20:55] linxeh: uh, it should anyway, since the camera supports 8GB cards, and 8GB isn't supported by fat16 [20:55] i would like to delete some files from it from the terminal... [20:55] coldboot: where should i look for epiphany? [20:55] linxeh: no, not even -F 16 worked [20:55] from synaptic [20:56] Joeseph: I may have found the problem, (and if I did, it is indeed Vista's fault). http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS4434907782.html [20:56] CostaRicanQuaker: You're trying to install a program, right? [20:56] Hello everyone. [20:56] does anyone have any idea where is the trash stored??? (in which directory?? path??) [20:56] !trash [20:56] The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [20:56] CostaRicanQuaker: Just type: `sudo aptitude install epiphany` [20:56] CostaRicanQuaker: Without the ticks. [20:56] erUSUL : 10x [20:56] uga: hmmm, you got the right partition ? :) [20:56] I'm gonna get a new graphics card. Which manufacturer is better supported, nvidia or ati? [20:57] Red_Wraith: nvidia [20:57] linxeh: I left the camera's partition (sd1), and linux could mount it [20:57] Is there a program in the ubuntu repository that will use freedb or something similar to mass update id3 tags? [20:57] Red_Wraith: My dad worked for ATI, I also worked for the ATI Linux team. The driver sucks and will continue to suck. [20:57] linxeh: I also tried recreating the partition table using fdisk and type 6 (fat16) [20:57] coldboot: what's the difference between sudo apt-get install and sudo aptitude install ? [20:57] Thanks. Also, when I choose a graphics card, what's more important, clock speed or RAM? [20:57] CostaRicanQuaker: apt-get isn't as good as aptitude for keeping things clean. [20:57] CostaRicanQuaker: aptitude is smarter, hence the name. [20:57] linxeh: what I'm not sure is about fat parameters [20:58] Red_Wraith: Reading reviews is the most important thing. [20:58] so aptitude-get? or take out the get after you type aptitude? === ebuyer-eastyorks is now known as eth01 [20:58] uga: hmm, with fat16 try 64k block [20:58] how to change the language used in bash / make [20:58] Red_Wraith: You cannot judge any piece of hardware by one of its elements anymore, there are many bottleknecks. [20:58] but I want to remove anything that has to do with evoultion email [20:58] coldboot, would ATI's driver situation have anything to do with VLC crashing when trying to play videos with the OpenGL module? [20:58] I did apt-get remove -s evoultion [20:58] i have a windows XP install disk, how do i use it to get a good VM working? [20:58] but it didn't help [20:58] justin___: sudo apt-get purge evolution [20:59] McShane: Possibly, did you try fglrxinfo to see if the hardware acceleration is loaded? [20:59] coldboot: Well, reviews will be no good then either, because most people have unique systems. [20:59] so aptitude-get? or take out the get after you type aptitude? coldboot [20:59] Red_Wraith: They're close enough when testing a video card as a whole. [20:59] OK, it would actually appear that the upgrade to Hardy Heron has CAUSED the loss of internet connection [20:59] Red_Wraith: You can benchmark an individual component, and make a reasonable guess as to whether you need more ram or a beefier cpu or something. [20:59] CostaRicanQuaker: Type what I told you to literally. [21:00] onthefence929, Use Virtualbox (it's in the repoistory). Then lookup guides on how to maximize XP [21:00] CostaRicanQuaker: There is no aptitude-get, the program's name is aptitude [21:00] * Lifeisfunny looks at the cards he's been dealt and says: I guess I'll take the cold shoulder and raise you a bird flip. [21:00] onthefence929, Use Virtualbox (it's in the repoistory). Then lookup guides on how to maximize XP's performance (things like using the class 98 theme) [21:00] anybody have an example of a preseed config file for an automated install from a local repository? [21:00] CostaRicanQuaker: You need to read some sort of Welcome to Ubuntu tutorial if you don't know this stuff. [21:00] classic* [21:00] coldboot: how would I benchmark my system? [21:00] coldboot: it says ldconfig deferred processing now taking place and gives me the prompt again, i looked up under internet and the browser hasnt been installed yet [21:00] coldboot, here's my fglrxinfo output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27341/ [21:01] Red_Wraith: I dunno, there are various Windows game benchmarks like 3dmark. [21:01] Is there a program in the ubuntu repository that will use freedb or something similar to mass update id3 tags? [21:01] coldboot, I installed those drivers with EnvyNG, if that matters [21:01] Does anyone know how i can get my ubuntu to find my digital camera? [21:01] quickest way [21:01] coldboot: I know that, but is there one for linux? [21:01] CostaRicanQuaker: Looks like it might have installed. do `dpkg -l | grep epiphany` without the ticks. [21:01] hey, lua-dev package doesn't install lua.pc, what's up with that? [21:01] Red_Wraith: No idea. [21:01] Phase: i think cowbell does. but not sure. [21:02] McShane: What's EnvyNG? [21:02] I'll check it out, thanks [21:02] hello can you help me with real player install [21:02] !envy | coldboot [21:02] coldboot: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. [21:02] Anybody have an example preseed file? [21:02] Phase: was that one for me? [21:02] McShane: This is good output, acceleration is on. [21:02] bughunter2, About XP? That was for onthefence929 [21:02] Myrtti: Funny how that doesn't really explain what envy is. [21:02] coldboot, cool, thanks. As for what EnvyNG is: http://albertomilone.com/projects.html [21:02] no i was talking about lua.pc pkg-config file which isn't installed by lua-dev [21:03] but it should? [21:03] I never said anything about that [21:03] lol === melter_ is now known as melter [21:03] i know [21:03] but you said "i'll look into it" [21:03] you could be some package maintainer, i don't know [21:03] :P [21:03] can you help me with real player install [21:03] As a response to someone answering my question :P [21:03] Phase: ok ;) [21:03] McShane: I think your driver is installed fine, it either sucks or there is some other problem with some other software. [21:03] bughunter2, :) [21:03] real player . rpm how i install it [21:04] coldboot: okay, I figured as much: ) [21:04] linxeh: any chances you know how to check formatting parameters of an existing fat partition? [21:04] user___: no RPM on Ubuntu, basically "RTFM" [21:04] that didn't work :( [21:04] or convert RPM to DEB, with 'alien' [21:04] hey all this is a noobish question, but how can I save a GIMP project as a project so that I can open it up and edit it again? [21:04] hello all friends [21:04] ok where i get this [21:04] user__: try the mplayer way for playing real files [21:04] user___: apt-get install alien [21:04] all your petro are belong to us. [21:04] user___: then, 'man alien' [21:05] coldboot : i did the things you said -> between the two dmesg logs there is no difference [21:05] in terminal? [21:05] does somebody alow me to help? with my network drivers wireless it works on this edition but i need serious help [21:05] user___: but most likely, your RPM package is readily available for Ubuntu [21:05] so try to install the package first using th enormal ways [21:05] "in terminal?" <-- where else? [21:05] and i can't remember the name of the guy who was helping me now :( [21:05] ok i am new man on this so step by step or i will get lost [21:06] user___: there is ubuntuguide.org [21:06] great. irony. whenever I run the system monitor, my computer shoots up to 100% and runs slow. Otherwise it's fine.... hahahahahahaha [21:06] Does anyone knows something about wireless network drivers that want me to help for a few minutes [21:06] uga, have you used gparted? [21:06] is there some command that can be used in the bash terminal to view my internet speed? [21:07] shau: Hmm, I'm not sure then. That means the kernel isn't detecting any card reader. What version of ubuntu? [21:07] dynamethod: there probably is a program for that, just 'wget' some file from the net [21:07] E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied) [21:07] McShane: no, but I'll give it a try, thanks [21:07] lil-romeo: little more info please [21:07] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? [21:07] user___: type 'sudo ' in front of your command [21:07] !sudo [21:07] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [21:07] sudo dpkg --configure -a [21:07] user___: and use the same password as you already have used to logon [21:07] how about a bash command to view my cpu temperature? [21:07] try [21:07] ok [21:07] ok [21:07] user___: i advise you to read the ubuntu beginner guides carefully, it really avoids much questions [21:07] and that way, you educate yourself :D [21:08] Joeseph, there appears to be a bug in the monitor -- you can reduce its resource footprint by disabling smooth refresh and increasing the update intervals by a few seconds [21:08] coldboot ubuntu 8.04 [21:08] it really helps [21:08] hey i installed mohaa via loki installer and it works a little bit ... its in possible for me to modify settings [21:08] in game [21:08] ok but it so long [21:09] shau: Hmmm, maybe google the model name of your laptop and "card reader" or "compact flash" or something like that. [21:09] so i try to get it fast [21:09] shau: Does the thing work in Windows, or any other computer? [21:09] coldboot : just another thing - lspci -v shows System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd xD-Picture Card Controller (rev 11) [21:09] user___: you shouldn't rush [21:09] that's really the most important part [21:09] patience.. [21:09] shau: Okay so that should be working. [21:09] shau: So ls /dev/sd* [21:09] i will try to read it [21:09] McShane: heh, it didn't provide existing FS's info, and after formatting with same format (fat16) again, the camera refused accepting it [21:09] LumpyCam still here ? [21:09] shau: See if you see any /dev/sd[a-d][0-9] files [21:10] shau: It's probably automatically set to one of those sd* devices, you have to guess which one. [21:10] Hi. I have installed libsdl-net1.2-dev (1.2.5-7), but I need at least SDL_net-1.2.7 (as well as dev). This does not seem to be available in repositories and installing a version from http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libdevel/ by hand leads to dependency problems. How can I solve this and install the latest version of the SDL libraries? [21:10] shau: Do you know what I mean by [a-d] and [0-9]? [21:11] uga: hmmmm dosfsck -n might tell you something [21:11] does someone know why /usr/lib/pkgconfig/lua.pc is missing on Ubuntu? [21:11] lol [21:11] can anyone help me with screen program? i want my friend to observe my terminal live [21:11] my friend has lua-dev installed [21:11] Gerrit: you can compile them by hand or find out if there are ubuntu debs for them [21:11] orudie: you could do vnc, rdesktop or others. vnc is best. === braden_ is now known as zod2108 [21:12] uga: if not you can interrogate the device with od -x, and get the first few bytes out with the data you need in - but its gonna be a hex reading exercise [21:12] coldboot?

I teach network protocols =) [21:34] hmm [21:35] mfdavid: i dont know where in dev the webcam goes, but try this: dmesg | grep webcam [21:35] has anyone else the same problems? opening 'settings' in gnome xchat and 100% cpu usage? [21:35] coldboot: Now I don't see any devices listed [21:35] penetrarthur, I have no idea...don't do any more in wine than I have to [21:35] th0r: and I've worked on little endian devs (vs big endian network protos) on a daily basis. So reading hex this way should be as easy as stealing a lollypop to a kid =) [21:35] mfdavid: then - sudo lsmod | grep use-the-device-name [21:35] Hi. I'm trying to upgrade from Feisty to Intrepid. I replaced /etc/apt/sources.list for feisty to intrepid, but a dist-upgrade gives "Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on libc6" and a 'sudo apt-get install libc6' fails on a 'probable dependency cycle'. How do I fix this? [21:35] wich program installs downloaded deb files? [21:36] evan__: dpkg [21:36] uga, we all encounter a cockpit error once in a while....so long as it doesnt occur at a critical time [21:36] Gerrit You are looking to seriously damage your OS [21:36] if i turn on the restricted driver, i cant use ubuntu [21:36] evan__: but there is a graphical interface. right bottom > its-name-that-i-forgot (long life to the command line) [21:36] !apt [21:36] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.

[21:37] shau: Did you see some /dev/sd* devices before? What were they? [21:37] Gerrit you cant go from feisty to any other release except gutsy [21:37] trakinas: Care to share? [21:37] xintron: apt-get install apache2 svn svnserver dav [21:38] penetrarthur, fuseiso allows you to mount a disk image, an iso file [21:38] xintron: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/install-subversion-with-web-access-on-ubuntu/ [21:38] shau: Basically once the kernel detects the card reader, it should automatically create some devices under /dev, you may already know this. [21:38] Jack_Sparrow: Okay, thanks. [21:38] np [21:38] anybody user SolarWinds Orion for snmp monitoring? what snmpd do you run [21:38] penetrarthur, it does the same thing that daemontools does for windows [21:38] ok [21:38] shau: Then you mount that device in some directory. You have to have a card in the card reader for this to happen, not just an empty card reader. [21:38] trakinas: thanks. but I don't pass any parameters on Windows. Just the IP address should do it. [21:38] xintron: download subversion-tools too [21:38] X3: try installing it with "sudo apt-get install gparted" in a terminal [21:39] can anybody tell me how to locate the kernal path [21:39] coldboot?

[21:48] ralf_ Then format the partition and reinstall ubuntu [21:48] it IS INSTALLED [21:48] but with hardy its away [21:48] ScottWegner i setteup my vnc...i left home my pc restarted...and now it's in the logon screen of ubuntu and i cant access it remotly [21:48] i want to try heiku image [21:48] ralf_ automatix has never work or been supported by or in Ubuntu [21:48] h [21:48] oh [21:48] Scott: why do you need to reinstall hardy? [21:49] no i like hardy [21:49] Michael88: hmm, couple things to note: first of all, you will need to open a port on your router to access it remotely. I believe the port is 5900-- have you done this? [21:49] ScottWegner yes [21:49] X3 I would not recommend leaving backports enabled [21:49] i downloaded the vmware player+server rpms from vmware and install it wit sudo alien -i *.rpm [21:49] it is [21:50] Michael88: ok. The other thing is (although I'm not *entirely* sure), but I believe you need to be logged into the Ubuntu machine locally before you can connect remotely [21:50] buts not work [21:50] ralf_ Trying to use RPM's is a REALLY bad idea as well [21:50] !alien [21:50] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [21:50] hello [21:50] installed SELinux using synaptic (package: selinux-basic). it removed AppArmor. then changed from upstart to sysvinit (installed sysvinit and it automatically removed upstart). rebooted the system and it worked fine. [21:50] JAck all backports are enabled on syunaptic [21:50] but with apt there is no vmware [21:50] ScottWagner: I installed network-manager-vpnc (along with vpnc) from synaptic.

[22:43] MrCollins, if you're all at the same site can't you use a DHCP server to keep it all in the same subnet? [22:43] xyzzy: stdout is the output you see on the command line. Basically, if you specify "> {somefile}" after a command, then whatever *would-have* been output on the command line, will go into that file instead [22:44] I see. [22:44] oh Paddy_EIRE , i understand now. [22:44] anybody? [22:44] That's strange, because I'm pretty sure the desktop was stdout if I understand correctly, yet it's not covered in bits of source... [22:44] blackbinary: someone may correct me but I think the install customizes ubuntu to your hardware. A "live-cd" style system might get around that problem [22:44] blackbinary_ops: it's probably best not to try to use the same ubuntu installation for many different computers. The main problem would be hardware incompatibilities between different machines. A better idea would be to simply but your /home partition on the external harddrive [22:44] pteeb: as far as I know gnome used to always ditch the trash back into the volume it has been deleted from... now I believe it uses your ~./trash directory... should be fine whether or not you empty iy [22:44] *it [22:45] xyzzy: I'm not sure what you mean.. === mancs_ is now known as Mancs [22:45] yeah Paddy_EIRE , I had cleaned up one of my external drives and deleted a few folders etc. It wont unmount until those folders are perm deleted from MY trash [22:45] Paddy_EIRE, when did that change get made?

I need the icon that tells me my wireless strength etc [23:49] i know i repeat myself but theres people coming inside [23:49] Reformer81 should just type the name of the app in the ter right nothing special or do i have to be in the dir of the app? [23:49] mabe they know [23:49] SamDunne: Right-click on the panel and select "Add to Panel" [23:50] kcman: If you installed the program normally, you should just be able to type the command that starts it. [23:50] Reformer81 tried it already [23:50] kcman: If you don't know, you can Right-Click on the "Applications" menu and choose "Edit Menus". Then find the entry for the program you're trying to run, right-click on it and choose "Properties" That will show you the command to launch it. [23:50] JoeSomebody: The website would be the best starting point. Yes, it is Linux. if you have particular issues, the wiki is a good resource. [23:51] Is there a way to "translate" in xorg language the screen configuration of the windows nvidia control center? [23:51] hey guys [23:51] ok off topic question [23:51] Reformer81 got it =) [23:51] is there a Konversation chat room [23:51] It was under Notifications [23:51] where I can ask questions on how to configure it. [23:51] Reformer81 i got the app in question from the add/remove feature and i let ubuntu do the installing, but when i run from terminal i get "exec: 26: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java: not found" [23:51] i mean the values of that configuration [23:52] travis: if you're using the nvidia restricted driver, there is also a special nvidia settings editor program [23:52] kcman: What program are you trying to run? [23:52] kcman: it depends on how the app was compiled. it may not have modified your path. in that case, you would need to run it with the full designated path...even if you are in the relative directory [23:52] my FTP caps out at 32KB/s what could be wrong here? [23:52] Reformer81 please dont laugh at me freecol under games [23:53] travis: you can install the "nvidia-settings" package [23:53] ScottWegner: ive got the nvidia-settings and nvidia-clock installed, but theres no way of making a customized configuration as in windows [23:53] kcman: if it is dependent on that version of java, you may need to install it..and add it to your path [23:53] travis: is there something in particular you're trying to configure that you don't see there? === adam_ is now known as Guest85880 [23:53] Reformer8: I know I messed up, but I'll find a way around this no worry I always do, thanks for helping anyway. [23:53] i've got the values of the windows program, i just don't know where to put them [23:53] yes [23:53] kcman: And did you try just typing "freecol" into the terminal? [23:53] the screen [23:54] yeah and the error i stated above is the result [23:54] travis: well, what about the screen? the nvidia setting application has many configuration fields [23:54] <|Juan|> if i go to gdm or request a gdmflexiserver my session is eventually killed, i reported it here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/244737 but no response [23:54] kcman: Okay.... run sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre [23:54] Launchpad bug 244737 in gdm "Multiple users login crash" [Undecided,New] [23:54] windows control center has a personalized screen section built in [23:54] travis: This isn't Windows :) [23:54] i know [23:55] but mabe theres a way to fill in that values by hand directly into xorg [23:55] travis: I imagine that the configuration file format isn't exactly the same between windows and Linux [23:55] so the screen works smoothly [23:55] travis: What do you mean by "screen"? [23:55] travis: I'm not aware of any direct "translation" utility [23:55] travis: Resolution and such? [23:55] refresh rates [23:55] horizontal sync [23:55] etc... [23:55] travis: Yes, you can configure all that manually in Xorg. [23:56] active horizontal pixels [23:56] travis: the settings for nvidia are saved in the fiile ~/.nvidia-settings-rc -- you can check this file to see if the format is similar to Windows [23:56] travis: you really should just load the nvidia package. it will do all that for you. [23:56] travis: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:56] and things like that [23:56] gnuB_Cris [23:56] travis: However, like gnuB_Chris said, when you install the nVidia drivers, that should all be configured automatically for you. [23:56] my screen requires personalized configuration [23:56] not a generic one [23:57] travis: So, your monitor then? [23:57] i'll check out .nvidia-settings [23:57] yes Reformer [23:57] it is a lcd tv [23:57] connected via rgb [23:57] travis: And did you go to System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution? [23:57] does anyone know how to make zune software work in Ubuntu [23:57] lg19s4lr [23:57] yes Reformer [23:58] i tried even changing the nvidia drivers [23:58] usgini the free ones, the restricted and so on [23:58] travis what's your problem ? [23:58] travis: Is that the model number of your monitor? [23:58] i justn cant get rid of a 10 px shadowed vertical line [23:58] does anyone know how to make zune software work in Ubuntu [23:58] at the left side of the monitor [23:58] <|Juan|> if i go to gdm or request a gdmflexiserver my session is eventually killed, i reported it here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/244737 but no response [23:58] roney: Why do you want to use that? To add music to your Zune? [23:58] Launchpad bug 244737 in gdm "Multiple users login crash" [Undecided,New] [23:58] every [23:59] time something white fall into it [23:59] the [23:59] !enter | travis [23:59] travis: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:59] hi there, is there any way to make autodetection of s-video displays persistent (ie not have to run "xrandr --output S-video --set load_detection 1")? [23:59] what is a good program to monitor system temperature [23:59] whole screen is slightly shadowed [23:59] sorry Reformer [23:59] i dont know of any other way )))))Reformer81((((((( [23:59] Reformer81 it works now but in terminal says that full screen is not fully suppored for this graphical device how do i check to see if i can update that bad boy? [23:59] So what do u think [23:59] is there a solution?
