[00:38] __yy_, well - for one it is completely redundant - why invoke su under sudo when sudo suffices. two, it's policy here, don't recommend something unless you are going to hang around 24 hours a day to support the people who take that advice [00:38] !noroot [00:38] We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [00:38] lol [00:39] maybe that should include sudo su - [00:39] nickrud, it ought to [00:39] ok [00:39] program that will split .iso [00:39] I configured pulseaudio to be a daemon and now Im getting access denied when I try to play sound with pulseaudio. [00:39] root password = n00bdumb@$$ [00:39] Arf. Is there a easy way to do an integrity-check of an installed package on the commandline? [00:39] d600 split does that [00:39] <|3ug> pulseaudio sux [00:40] !noob | kyppcgeek [00:40] kyppcgeek: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [00:40] is split a program? [00:40] unop: recommend "something"? By that standard we'd all have to be here forever [00:40] Spider, dpkg does that when installing packages [00:40] d600 yes, it's a command line program, comes by default [00:40] <__yy_> unop: I really don't understand your objection at all, I'm sorry. [00:40] what's the package you need to run 32bit app on 64 bit? [00:40] unop: I want to verify that a package that i have installed already is the same as to what was installed [00:40] it was something like lib [00:40] Nickrud : negative. Nothing other than "-- MARK --" anywhere near that time. [00:41] hi, can anyone help me making my mic work on ubuntu 8.04? [00:41] i wander to what degree is wine compatible with windows apps (one should just test stuff on it right?) [00:41] !appdb | jamus have you seen this [00:41] unop: I guess I could simply reinstall, but that isn't as appealing as to simply query and such. [00:41] jamus have you seen this: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [00:41] thx [00:41] __yy_, it's easier to just stick with sudo -i or sudo -s than get everyone objecting to you .. it's common policy here (and in ubuntu in general) to work with sudo [00:41] oliviagj: is the level turned up in the mixer? [00:41] oliviagj: Is it some Intel HDA audio card? They have this issue often [00:42] Spider, hmm, not sure there is a way to do this [00:42] DarkAudit, yes [00:42] i mean like in running complex procedures [00:42] Flannel, How large would you recommend me make the root drive, since I'm storing most things on my home partition? [00:42] godsyn take a look in /var/log/daemon.log [00:42] * DarkAudit gets his usb headset muted every time he switches WMs [00:42] Flannel, How much room should I need... [00:42] well nevermind [00:42] <__yy_> unop: to the contrary, I find it much easier to stick with sudo su -, so as long as it remains a matter of personal preference I'm going to stick with mine. [00:42] tnx pici [00:42] !worksforme | __yy_, [00:42] __yy_,: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [00:42] hari_: 10G is probably sufficient. 20 is definately sufficient [00:42] DarkAudit, what is a WM? [00:42] split just makes 150 files [00:43] __yy_ no problem with your personal prefs, but please observe the ubuntu policy in channel [00:43] Flannel, Thanks [00:43] unop: Harumm. Seems like a somewhat obvious feature, but okay. Lemme google some more, thanks for the help [00:43] Spider, you could ask the guys in #debian if they know it can be done (just don't mention you use ubuntu in there tho :) ) [00:43] <__yy_> unop: that's not really applicable... [00:43] Haha [00:43] oliviagj: window manager... switching between GNOME/KDE/Fluxbox... i have to unmute my headset if i switch from one to another [00:43] <__yy_> unop: anyway, this is off topic and pointless, let's drop it [00:43] __yy_, it is if you are going to suggest using that in here [00:43] I've got a older desktop, a 2.2Ghz P4, 512 of ram, 100GB harddrive, do you think I should put Ubuntu on it, or would it benefit more from Xubuntu or another light-weight distro?

[00:44] jamus, thanks! [00:45] godsyn mine is getting reset by less than a second at a time, why ntpd should be doing such a large shift I have no clue [00:45] how can i see my ram or pc configuration? [00:45] Nevermind, had to add myself to pulse-access.

[00:56] can one of you help me out here, I have a radeon x700 card, whenever I install the ATI drivers, I cant get into the gui the screen goes all black [00:56] I have a general linux question, I guess. If you're remoted into a machine through ssh and run a script. If you're close you're connection the script stops. If you run it with & (in the background) i'm not sure what happens. But if you start it normally hit Ctrl-Z and continue it in the background (is it the same as just starting it in the background (&)) and will it continue if I close the connection? [00:56] is here any girl for mi [00:56] Abed, no, my computer lacks bluetooth. [00:56] jamus, It's cool... [00:57] thnx Ashfire908 u were very helpful [00:57] Abed, you're welcome.

[00:58] Samus_Aran: medibuntu.org seems down allright, happens quite a lot lately .. no idea what's going on [00:58] !alternate [00:58] 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 [00:58] sam555, ^^ [00:58] sam555 releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 , look for alternate. Use the torrent if you can [00:58] glitsj16: it is a problem with their DNS server. do you know the IP address for medibuntu.org ? [00:58] sich, no problem. [00:58] ah, a good factoid ;) [00:58] nickrud: gotcha! [00:59] Samus_Aran: no i don't .. [00:59] hi guys, from my last update to 2.6.24-19 kernel my laptop runs slow, what can i do? [00:59] anyone know if there are any websites that track the IP addresses of web sites ? [00:59] hello [01:00] Is it possible to install SATA Controller drivers within a "LIVE" install of UBUNTU? [01:00] <__yy_> Samus_Aran: there are machines that do that, they're called DNS servers. [01:00] where is the appropriate place to whine about Ubuntu?

It says it can't find gestreamer 0.10 or higher and I do have it installed. Can anyone help me? [01:01] jamus: the DNS servers for medibuntu.org are down, therefore no DNS lookups for it. the site itself may be up and running [01:01] My Hard Disk is recognised as "SCSI Drive" however it will not let me open it [01:01] Samus_Aran, it wouldn't make sense - the ip addresses might be stale for the particular domain [01:02] unop: how would it not make sense ? I add it to my /etc/hosts and then access the files I want, until their DNS is fixed [01:02] Ashfire908: already there [01:02] Haldrie do you have libgstreamer0.10-dev installed? [01:02] mythril, select syslog. [01:02] unop: I've done so lots of times with lots of web sites, when their DNS servers are messed up [01:02] not sure let me see [01:02] mythril, then View -> Filter... [01:02] unop: or in the process of changing to a new IP which hasn't propagated [01:02] Samus_Aran, because the administrators of the domain might have wanted it to be like that - they might be in the process of migrating servers over [01:03] nope installing now [01:03] unop: if it is publically accessible, it is publically accessible... if they don't want people accessing the server, then they /etc/init.d/apache2 stop [01:03] zelrikriando: thank for the prior tip, rythmbox and the net sound work fine, altough i have to shut rythmbox down to be able to movies using flash [01:03] Ashfire908: go ahead [01:03] unop: visiting an IP address in your browser is not malicious [01:03] mythril, type in the filter box "restart" [01:03] zelrikriando: better than having to reboot ;) [01:03] is there somethis apart of preloader for my laptop runs fast? [01:03] oliviagj, you're welcomed [01:03] ok I got it installed but I'm still getting the same error when trying to build the svn [01:04] Is there a way to change which application a file type opens with when launched from the Tracker Search Tool? My global preferences say to use mplayer for mkv, but tracker is launching totem [01:04] oliviagj, let me know if flash is stable or not [01:04] My Hard Disk is recognised as "SCSI Drive" however it will not let me open it. Says cannot mount? Any ideas anyone? [01:04] zelrikriando: it seems quite stable if rythmbox is nor open === RandomCake is now known as Guest9577 [01:04] Gimpymoo, it depends on what filesystem the partitions on the drive is using to some extent. [01:04] Gimpymoo: all disks are not recognised as SCSI, even IDE ones [01:04] mythril, see any log lines? [01:04] Gimpymoo: check dmesg for errors [01:04] Ashfire908: there are 4 entries all essentially the same except the time stamp, there is 1 that is ~1 minute away from the time I think my system rebooted [01:05] oliviagj, we'll see in the long term :) [01:05] Gimpymoo: sorry, "are not recognised" [01:05] Ashfire908: does that mean my system was intentionally shut down? === RandomCake_ is now known as RandomCake [01:05] Gimpymoo: oh my gosh I did it again. NOW recognised [01:05] checking for BRASERO_GSTREAMER... configure: error: Package requirements ( gstreamer-0.10 >= 0.10.15 gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10 >= 0.10.0) were not met: [01:05] No package 'gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10' found [01:05] lol [01:05] 'most' all drives these days show up as scsi :) i have some machines that still show them as hd## (not sure why) [01:05] sorry for that [01:05] zelrikriando: well, know fred astaire on youtube is mute... [01:05] dr_Willis: older kernels ? [01:06] mythril, no, I think that's just the log daemon saying it just started up. [01:06] What does the mount error mean? [01:06] Ashfire908: or is there a set of conditions that would trigger that [01:06] it's a kernel thing which emulates SCSI for IDE and other drive types [01:06] zelrikriando: *now [01:06] Ashfire908: oh, ok [01:06] Samus_Aran, not really.. older machine Im thinking . and i got a laptop that shows hd## also. [01:06] dr_Willis: if you're on a recent 2.6 kernel, it uses /dev/sd only [01:06] Gimpymoo, means for some reason it couldent mount it. [01:07] dr_Willis: perhaps you have static /dev ? [01:07] mythril, you need to then remove the filter and then find the one near the bootup again. [01:07] When trying to view the Properties, Size, type and volume are unknown :( [01:07] dr_Willis: or a custom udev [01:07] Samus_Aran, ill check my laptop. but last i looked under 8.04 I think it was still using hd###. could be some chipset/bug/work around. [01:08] thats my OLD laptop. :) i got a new one that does use sd## - of course the built in memory card reader shows devices like /dev/mmc1p1 [01:08] oliviagj, I remember having to do something else...let me check [01:08] Ashfire908: I just cleared the filter and looked at the lines preceding that timestamp (and message) and didn't see anything out of the ordinary, unless this triggered it: root CMD (cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron/hourly) [01:09] mythril, unless your system is set to restart every hour, no. === Lusule is now known as Lusule|afk [01:09] Ashfire908: that time stamp is roughly 10 minutes before the logger restarted, but my system ran fsck on boot [01:09] zelrikriando: i closed the firefox and started again and it worked, i sense this programs are quite jelous in their relationships with the sound device [01:09] aoupi, ? [01:09] good night [01:09] zelrikriando: huh? [01:09] oliviagj, yeah that is true [01:10] aoupi, is that you that helped me fixing some flash issues?. [01:10] zelrikriando: :/ [01:10] zelrikriando: don't think so :) [01:10] is there a way to purge all packages from synaptic and force it to grab a new version? [01:10] oliviagj, my FF is completely exiting when it doesnt like the flash [01:11] oliviagj, but my sound is steady now [01:11] Ashfire908: any more ideas? === Lusule|afk is now known as Lusule [01:11] whileimhere: all? then you'd purge synaptic to you know :) [01:11] mythril, hmm [01:11] does anyone have the not crippled ffmpeg package from medibuntu that they could send to me ? [01:11] whileimhere: but it should always get the newest version, what is the problem? [01:11] zelrikriando: i use the swiftweasel, and it just wont play, but doesn't quit [01:12] Ashfire908: well I can say fairly conclusively that the cron-job had nothing to do with it, my system just logged another one :P [01:12] mythril, I havn't done this before, and if there are not obvious things shutting down... [01:12] zelrikriando: and astaire is dancing beautifully now [01:12] Anyone here know how to figure out the reason for a shutdown? [01:13] I have uncommented lines from /etc/inittab to stop getty spawning from tty2 to tty6 , but how do I stop the virtual terminals from being created at boot? [01:13] specifically an abrupt, unrequested shutdown [01:13] oliviagj, I think you should stick around and ask again later here, I cannot help you more but some might be able to. [01:13] zelrikriando: i'll do that. thanks a lot :) [01:13] guess I'll go compile ffmpeg. good day, bye. [01:14] hmmm maybe I should put a highlight on 'flash' [01:14] mythril, eah oyu need to get help from someone else... [01:14] Ashfire908: thanks anyway [01:14] oliviagj, say ' flash ' (test) [01:14] flash [01:14] coool [01:14] genii: ok.. i added the acpi=off to the grub and boot fine.. also added the noapi command... but the problem now is that ubuntu don't shutdown the computer [01:14] :) [01:15] zelrikriando: what happened? [01:15] oliviagj, I got a 'highlight' (or alert if you prefer) === Rudy is now known as Guest93620 [01:15] zelrikriando: how do you do that? [01:15] oliviagj, so now I ll up to date with flash related discussions :) [01:15] oliviagj, what IRC client you have? [01:16] zelrikriando: i use the gimp [01:16] Dr4k3n: Yes, that will be a drawback. Since it can't use power management features of apic to do that. Normally it will go almost all the way off then prompt you to hit power-off button however [01:16] as you can burn a DVD? [01:16] oliviagj, ??? [01:16] in ubuntu [01:16] zelrikriando: pidgin... [01:16] i am adding swap file [01:16] zelrikriando: i'm old fashioned [01:16] Now listening to Revolution-code:1986-1105 feat.RAH-D by BoA [01:16] oliviagj, oh ok, I dont know about that one for IRC [01:17] but when i use sudo mkswap /mnt/1024Mb.swap [01:17] i get this [01:17] oliviagj, I use xchat [01:17] hello... I have an old edgy machine I need to upgrade [01:17] abed@abed-laptop:~$ sudo mkswap /mnt/1024Mb.swap [01:17] Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 1073737 kB [01:17] no label, UUID=c1a1f431-16ce-4eed-ba6f-a9a576fa3f61 [01:17] mkswap: unable to relabel /mnt/1024Mb.swap to unconfined_u:object_r:swapfile_t: Invalid argument [01:17] jasonago2, disable that music script [01:17] zelrikriando: i'll look for one with facy features, any suggestion? [01:17] oliviagj, try playing around with the pidgin plugins...I am sure there are alert options [01:17] Abed: Didn't you get booted earlier already for flooding? [01:17] I need to install update-manager-core, but edgy has been removed from us.archive.ubuntu.com [01:17] how do I upgrade? [01:17] xjjk: old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ [01:17] Flannel: thanks! [01:18] i just wanted to paste wut i got [01:18] so anyone [01:18] zelrikriando: ok, thanks [01:18] What is the linux equivilent to tracert? [01:18] genii: i added the acpi=off to the grub.. and also added noacpi.. but now ubuntu don't shutdown the computer :S [01:18] traceroute [01:18] <__yy_> ShinjinAkage: traceroute [01:18] xjjk: it might be a better idea to upgrade your version, is there any reason you cant? [01:18] They should make an "Ubuntu Whinestorm" website (like Brainstorm) where people whine and the most annoying things get voted up, and the whines with most votes get attention by developers and fixed [01:18] Aoupi: sorry i was disconnected. [01:18] JoshuaRL: I am trying to upgrade now [01:18] but I need to install update-manager-core to upgrade [01:18] xjjk: and you need to be up to date with your current packages [01:19] so wut's wrong when i type sudo mksawp /mnt/1024Mb.swap [01:19] ? [01:19] Flannel: I'm not sure... I think the security repos/etc still work for edgy [01:19] xjjk: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [01:19] mksawp [01:19] mkswap [01:19] What is the name of the Virtual Machine for linxu? [01:19] Dr4k3n: Yes, I saw your comment the first time. With no acpi, the computer has no method to control things like to power off automatically. But it should instead go to a prompt which says something like: "System now halted. Power off" [01:20] !vm | Topha1 [01:20] Topha1: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [01:20] thanks bazhang :D [01:20] np [01:20] virtualbox is apparently the best eh? [01:20] xjjk: They shouldn't. You need to move those to o-r.u.c/u too [01:20] sorry genii it go to a black window and don't show me anything [01:20] I can't seem to get "Passwords and encryption keys" to work like I want it to with SSH sessions. Anybody familiar with this program quite a bit? [01:20] Virtualbox is working very well here.. [01:20] i can't run mkswap /mnt/1024Mb.swap they return with invalid arguments [01:21] Flannel: okay, thanks [01:21] so wut's wrong [01:21] hey how do i set my audio device? im tryin to play mp3s but it wont play it through the right soundcard [01:21] Topha1: I'm using virtualbox right on my computer infact [01:21] Flannel: I'm upgrading 3 or 4 releases... should I reboot between each upgrade [01:21] Abed: mkswap is called on unmounted partitions. [01:21] not sure best practice for this [01:21] How many different OS's and setups can i have in VirtualBox? [01:21] xjjk: Yes. You'll need to use the new kernels [01:21] i think it is mounted [01:21] it /mnt [01:22] makes sense [01:22] so i think mounted [01:22] Topha1, as many as you have drive space for. [01:22] is /mnt/1024.swap even a valid mount point? [01:22] ok i used the plit command how do i make the files created iso's [01:22] Topha1, dependent on how much ram you have and cpu cycles [01:22] dr_willis - thanks you [01:22] Abed: it should be /dev/something [01:22] anyone use gmail with imap? i tried to delete mails in ALL-MAIL folder, but it won't let me [01:22] yay ! thanks guys! [01:22] Haldrie can i use IM? [01:22] anyone know how to set the default soundcard to output on? [01:22] I know less then you about linux in genteral [01:23] general* [01:23] ok i used the plit command how do i make the files created iso's [01:23] coookies >> [01:23] how to know if partition is mounted? [01:23] *coughs* [01:23] How do I change the number of virtual terminals started at boot? [01:23] that is... [01:23] Hello everyone, anyone else having problems with the gui being slow to redraw in ubuntu 8.04 ? [01:23] Enter text here...anyone from rhodos,town? [01:23] Can someone help me with the traceroute command? All I see is the numbers 1-30 with *** next to them. What does that mean? [01:23] krystallkitty, do you have a support question [01:23] ...I take it back I might know just a little more but not much [01:23] nope, actually have no idea why im in this room it just put me in here [01:23] Dr4k3n: Now we know something with acpi can make it boot, perhaps try other related options instead of the acpi=off . You can experiment with the acpi related ones listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions and see if any work [01:24] I have a brother dcp 7020, and the scanner permissions are borked [01:24] ok i used the plit command how do i make the files created iso's [01:24] how do i set it so anyone can scan without running xsane under gksu? [01:24] i'll check it genii let me see [01:24] can anyone familiar with autogen source building PM me I need some help [01:25] Flannel: hrm... this isn't working... do you know if there is a howto about upgrading from unsupported releases? [01:25] Dr4k3n: PErhaps acpi=oldboot since it seems to activate only the minimal stuff needed [01:25] sudo mkswap /mnt/1024Mb.swap says invalid arguments [01:26] AlexJP: default sound card for ALSA ? if so --> http://alsa.opensrc.org/FAQ026 [01:27] ok i used the split command how do i make the files created iso's [01:27] Im having some problems since upgrading to hardy, scrolling in firefox is choppy, video playback is laggy, the whole gnome interface is laggy, tried to mess with the ati/open source video drivers and the x config to no avail. Any ideas? google found several similar cases but i didnt find any solution. [01:27] glitsj16, well its strange, i can play mp3s using limewire, but no other mp3 player i have tried will play them, so im assuming the other apps are trying to play them through my other soundcard === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [01:27] <__yy_> tcz: sounds like you don't have the proper video drivers installed [01:27] AlexJP: try this: sudo apt-get install lame [01:28] AlexJP, limewire? where do you find that? i cant find it in repo [01:28] I am still running into that same problem with sharing files. I am thinking it has something to do with samba. But I don't know. [01:28] tcz, what processor how much ram; what video card and how were drivers installed; any third party repos or scripts in use [01:28] I want to split an existing harddisk into 2 partitions with XP (DhELL) and Ubuntu. I have copied everything onto a 2nd pc. Is it possible (using qtparted) to split the single partition into two with no loss of data? Its barely 20% full. I was thinking, copy off, split, delete everything off the XP partition and copy back from backup (or do I not need to delete anything?) [01:28] xjjk: Thats because its trying to get feisty stuff from old-releases, uh, in your sources.list.d/ directory, you should have a feisty.list or something like that. You may be able ot edit that [01:29] mkswap: unable to relabel /mnt/1024Mb.swap to unconfined_u:object_r:swapfile_t: Invalid argument [01:29] wut's wrong??? [01:29] AlexJP: could be yes, it's a small change to either /etc/asound.conf (system-wide) or ~/.asoundrc .. worth trying it [01:29] xjjk: also try, once you've installed everything and are up to date with edgy, try moving your sources.list back to archive.ubuntu.com (and security.ubuntu.com) and then try u-m-c [01:29] Flannel: do-release-upgrade seems to rewrite sources.list to try to update edgy from archive.ubuntu.com [01:29] Athlong xp 2600+ 2gb ram ati Radeon 9600, fresh out of a format/clean install i had the problem, tried enabling the restricted drivers, tried using envy... all the same, 3d acceleration seems on [01:29] I'm thinking I have to upgrade manually with aptitude... [01:29] s/edgy/feisty/g in my sources.list [01:29] xjjk: alright, well, we can upgrade manually easy enough. Make sure you're up to date, and have ubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-standard, ubuntu-minimal and linux-generic installed [01:30] xjjk: then yeah, substitute edgy for feisty and update/dist-upgrade [01:30] Flannel: is this a bug/diffiency in update-manager-core...? [01:30] Smegzor: [01:30] mkswap: unable to relabel /mnt/1024Mb.swap to unconfined_u:object_r:swapfile_t: Invalid argument [01:30] JoshuaRL: yes? [01:30] Smegzor: try Parted Magic, it should be able to do that without deleting XP [01:30] xjjk: well, its not designed to be used with EOL releases [01:30] any one? [01:30] Flannel: hrm [01:31] I just want to be able to share my files with the windows boxes on my network. And I don't want them to have to enter a username or password. [01:31] xjjk: If you want, file a bug abotu it. They can update the one in feisty to make sure it can handle it [01:31] Abed: Perhaps the problem is that you're trying to make a directory and not a device into a swap. Normally you'd run mkswap on /dev/somepartitonname and not something like /mnt/wherever [01:31] Flannel: ching... http://geckoblue.livejournal.com/222205.html [01:31] xjjk: (since feisty will go EOL in a few months) [01:31] how can I create a MIDI synth in Ubuntu? [01:31] Smegzor : please restate your question. [01:31] godsyn: im helping him [01:31] genii: but i am using a trusted source [01:31] help.ubuntu [01:32] does ubuntu logs somewhere in a file what you visit using FF ? [01:32] MatBoy, no [01:32] JoshuaRL : k. his issue not something gparted (free) could take care of? [01:32] Flannel: cant he just update his sources.lst and have it get update-manager [01:32] MatBoy: Ubuntu doesn't. Firefox does in its history [01:32] MatBoy; I think Firefox can. [01:32] MatBoy: You can disable it in the options for FF though. [01:32] godsyn: parted magic is free also, a live CD [01:32] bazhang: Athlon xp 2600+ 2gb ram ati Radeon 9600, fresh out of a format/clean install i had the problem, tried enabling the restricted drivers, tried using envy... all the same, 3d acceleration seems on [01:32] ok.. I have copied (scp'ed) all files from the hdd I want to repartition. I want to end up with XP taking half the space (partition 1) without any loss of data. [01:32] smallfoot-, its from the limewire website [01:33] bazhang: Flannel so if I remove my temp int files I'm safe ? [01:33] tcz, envy or envyng-gtk [01:33] JoshuaRL : my apologies. I did not know that. [01:33] JoshuaRL: Not with the way update-manager(-core) works apparently. Tries to use archive.ubuntu.com [01:33] SaGe: but I think it's not on by default [01:33] bazhang: envyng-gtk [01:33] I haven't made an image yet. i'm not sure I need to? [01:33] MatBoy: Just do it through firefox. You can actually set it to clear the private data every time you close it [01:33] MatBoy, set in ff preferences to delete history, not keep track of what sites you visit etc [01:33] Flannel: k, can he use http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and just install the .deb? [01:33] AlexJP, oh ok [01:33] MatBoy: Sure it is, history is always on. [01:34] MatBoy: as flannel says you'll probably want the clear on exit [01:34] godsyn: np, it loads up a live xsession [01:34] i keep hearing that in linux you can shrink a partition safely, but I'm not convinced this is true. [01:34] JoshuaRL: He doesn't need to install debs, he can use old-releases.ubuntu.com for that. But he'd have to manually upgrade (which works just as well) [01:34] its good [01:34] yes, history, but not some file that can be crawled later for my great pr0n sources [01:34] faster on here than windows [01:34] :P [01:34] tcz, what resolution; you using any third party repos? what about wine [01:34] Smegzor: You can gparted does it well. [01:34] Abed: You can also use it on a file but it's not normal usage. Did you create the file to be proper size? [01:34] Hi, I would like to download the fsck.ntfs package for Ubuntu. Where can I download it? [01:34] bazhang: the only thing that does help is disabling all effects in the appearances [01:34] glitsj16, i have a blank asound.conf file [01:34] Smegzor: totally true. just defrag first, and youll be fine [01:34] tcz, how big a difference and what ati driver are you using [01:34] glitsj16, reckon thats the problem? [01:35] what's the best way to run up-to-date games (e.g. warsow 0.32 in synaptic, 0.42 available on web)? [01:35] bazhang: this is a fresh install I havent enabled anything yet that isnt on by default, res is 1600x1200 wine is not isntalled [01:35] ok. I was just about to say I hadn't defragged yet. off to fix that now :) [01:35] AlexJP: that's not uncommon, either produce a new one with those alsa page settings in or use the asoundconf-gtk package with the GUI [01:35] ftehw, best to wait. but if you must break your package management then use getdeb.net [01:35] Smegzor: by backing up and then defrag, youll take care of% of any chance === ChaoticGood_ is now known as ChaoticGood [01:35] !wine [01:35] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [01:35] hey can someone help me [01:35] Abed: eg: is /mnt/1024mb.swap a file of about 1Gb in size, or some directory? [01:35] mkswap: unable to relabel /mnt/1024Mb.swap to unconfined_u:object_r:swapfile_t: Invalid argument [01:35] done and doing :) [01:36] thanks [01:36] it is a file [01:36] bazhang: huge difference actualy, but if i try to watch videos in full screen its laggy again [01:36] tcz, you know what driver? is the fglrx? [01:36] tcz, flash videos or regular movies [01:36] bazhang: thanks. yeah, i definately prefer to stick with the pkg mngment but in this case it is unusable (servers refuse unupdated clients). [01:36] can someone tell me how to boot a disc in recovery mode [01:36] Smegzor: no prob, have a nice day [01:36] Abed: What say command: ls -l /mnt/1024Mb.swap ? [01:36] ftehw, then getdeb if you must [01:36] bazhang: both, youtube full screen or an AVIs same thing [01:37] Flannel: hrm, actually, this is fixed in the interpid version of update-manager-core... [01:37] wait genii [01:37] bazhang: for the driver... hm... the one i have on now is whatever envyng installed, 8.6 i think [01:37] bazhang: yup, getdeb looks exactly like what I was looking for. thanks! [01:37] genii: -rw-r--r--+ 1 root root 1073741824 2008-07-20 03:15 /mnt/1024Mb.swap [01:38] can someone help me [01:38] please [01:38] tcz, for flash either use youtube-dl to get them and play in vlc (flash is low res and will never look great) or miro which does flash fullscreen much better; for avi etc disable compiz etc while watching; you can get fusion-icon to do it with one click [01:38] Abed: Um. It may need to be writable there [01:38] wut's wrong rybotsky? [01:38] xjjk: ah good. In 22 months we won't have to worry about it anymore ;) [01:38] Flannel: heh [01:38] and how can i make writeable? [01:39] Abed: sudo chmod +w /mnt/1024Mb.swap [01:39] ok i will try it [01:39] btw wut is chmod +x [01:39] i was upgrading my laptop to ubuntu 8.04 and then my computer just shut off halfway through and shut off [01:39] x does wut? [01:39] excecutable [01:39] and now im trying to see if i can boot the disc in recovery mode to finish the upgrade [01:40] Abed: +x is for executable. +w is for write. +r is for read [01:40] rybotsky, so re-install it. [01:40] whenever i type cat xaa image.iso it makes a buzzing noise in terminal [01:40] rybotsky, hardware failure or battery running down or other [01:40] bazhang: ok ill try that thx [01:40] but i cant turn my computer on [01:40] because when it shut off something screwed up [01:40] genii : same result nth works [01:40] rybotsky, your computer will not turn on at all?

[01:42] ok [01:42] rybotsky, is it overheating? or a video issue or what [01:42] nope [01:42] <__yy_> d600: why are you cat-ing a .iso file to the terminal? [01:42] im thinking it overheated [01:42] bazhang: anyways, thx for your work around :) [01:42] d600 What are you trying to accomplish, and please hold down the repeats [01:42] but how can i boot the ubuntu disc from recovery mode [01:43] rybotsky, this is installed yet or not [01:43] np tcz :) [01:43] Hi, yall know if there's nfs v4 support in hardy ?

[03:12] unop, I just do not know my way around grub: commands and configs [03:12] I need some help. I am trying to install Xubuntu on a box, had to use the noapic flag, when it is booting it says it can't set fan (address) to 'off'. After a while the loop-prevention kicks in. Then it boots. So i went into gparted and tried to resize a partiton. I come back to the PC with all these warning saying the system is shutting off now because the temperature is -287degress Celcius. Now that is bullshit and something is w [03:12] rong, does anyone have any ideas on what I can do? [03:12] how do i text edit with SUDO?

[03:13] Michael_, sudo is not a text editor ... it is used to elevate permissions to the root user [03:13] i know [03:13] Just before the message ' reading files needed to bood' since the last couple of days I am getting this error: [03:13] usb 1-1: unable to read config index 0 descriptor/start [03:13] usb 1-1: can't read configurations, error -71 [03:13] i need to exit text as root [03:14] cottima, http://www.techbytes.ca/techbyte118.html # should help mounting lvms [03:14] bazhang: yep Live CD [03:14] edit* [03:14] Michael_, sudo preferededitorhere /path/to/file [03:14] SaGe, what about the alternate cd? does that also fail?

[03:15] Michael : from terminal : sudo gedit [03:15] bazhang, what got me is its reading the internal temp wrong. Is there a way to get it to not read temps>?

[03:16] pheeror: We'll both be pushed offtopic. [03:17] kaiwen, it may be easier to ask someone in fedora about kde 4 widgets since f9 has kde 4 already in it. [03:17] Anyone has pointers to my usb 1-1 problem while booting? [03:17] Hi, I use pulse audio to play my sound over a network, but after my last reboot, any sound just gives me a 'skipped cd' kind of repeat.

[03:18] Michael_, yes [03:18] i'm trying to remove my root partition from raid. I commented the lines in the mdadm.conf, changed my menu.1st, fstab, did a update-grub, and removed the boot flag from one of the mirrored root partitions. When I boot, it doesn't seem to try and boot /dev/sda1 like i've told it. I'm not even sure why it doesn't boot. anyone know what the problem might be? [03:18] hello [03:18] sdakak: not really, did you change configuration or the bios or attached new HW ? [03:19] cottima, so where has the CD put you now? somewhere in the installer? [03:19] alraune: Nothing at all. I use it on Dell Inspiron 1525. [03:20]  lhoersten:what about fstab ? [03:20] alraune: changed that too [03:20] lhoersten-> how about the device.map ? [03:20] amenado: checked that. it only references sda and sdb. no mention of md* at all [03:21] Anyone know how to disable quit/entered/nick messages for IRC on gaim? [03:22] lhoersten-> you have a separate /boot partition? [03:22] amenado: nope. it's on root [03:22] sdakak: can you boot in safe mode ? is it just stopping or droping to a shell ? [03:22] lhoersten-> am not even aware you can boot ubuntu from a raid array [03:23] amenado: haha I used to =) [03:23] unop not sure what to do next, I am at a place to config grub and install it [03:23] alraune: I boot all right. But that is the first message that pops up before 'reading files needed to boot' and it throws away my usplash theme also. Everytime. [03:24] sdakak: but you can log in desktop as usuall ? [03:24] Is it possible to change the "Incorrect username or password" errors that appears in GDM while logging in? [03:24] alraune: Yes, everything works. [03:25] lappy198: change it to what? [03:25] Flannel~ To whatever I want.. [03:26] sdakak: could you pastebin /var/log/syslog ? [03:26] alraune: The laptop is not here. Could you point me to what maybe wrong?

[03:27] Hi, I use pulse audio to play my sound over a network, but after my last reboot, any sound just gives me a 'skipped cd' kind of repeat.

It said "Missing operating system" again.

I commented the lines in the mdadm.conf, changed my menu.1st, fstab, did a update-grub, and removed the boot flag from one of the mirrored root partitions. When I boot, it doesn't seem to try and boot /dev/sda1 like i've told it. I'm not even sure why it doesn't boot. anyone know what the problem might be?

[03:33] wat do i have 2 do with it... actually i m a new user with hardy [03:33] Sylphid: raid1 [03:33] why do you need a password to login on ubuntu? and why arent all accounts root? you just need press esc at grub, and then you boot as root without any password [03:33] !xorg.conf [03:33] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[03:36] amenado: i'm trying to remove it not recover my raid [03:36] Will, sorry... that's quite odd... did you set up the partitions correctly ? [03:36] yes i did [03:36] Can anyone help me fix my pulse audio? [03:36] alraune: the page is opening [03:36] it should be simple. the data is all there. it's just not booting. I suspect there is still raid stuff left over in the superblocks since when I mount sda1 (which used to be raid) it says it doesn't know the partition type because it's raid. I force mount it as jfs then [03:37] lhoersten-> yes you are removing it, but dont you want to boot the remaining or you want to completely re-install? [03:37] I'm not sure, but probably not. [03:37] How do you get pulse audio to display sliders for bass,treble,etc? [03:37] roshan : xorg.conf ? pastebin ? [03:37] amenado: i want to boot the remainder [03:37] I'll go into the install, to Manual and tell you what's there [03:37] Will, put the live cd aside for now, get yourself a copy of the full disto's .iso, burn it an try again [03:37] roshan : type : gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:37] roshan : mark the content, copy to clipboard [03:37] alraune: i didnt understand the copy to clipboard. what do i have to copy [03:38] I have the full distro [03:38] lhoersten-> well that link has the techniqure to recover the remaining [03:38] I've tried installing it but the same thing happens [03:38] the whole thing in the gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:38] amenado: ah ok i'll take a look [03:38] Hello this is my first time in any IRC chat, I was wondering if this is an ok place to ask for some live ubuntu help. [03:38] I figured I should boot it from in here so I could be on IRC at the same time [03:38] ok it says there is some deferred processing taking place and said the plugin was installed b4 that [03:38] lhoersten-> scenario where the primary may have died, so you recover from the second or mirror [03:38] roshan : similar to win, mark the whole file, choose copy (menubar or right mouse) [03:38] whats the deferred processing and do i need to wait on that? [03:39] Will, I'll have to hand this over to someone with more experience in here.... strangely, I ran into this problem when I tried to install solaris 10 on my dell box.... I think somehow the MBR is getting corrupted in some way [03:39] what is the copyright status of the logo? [03:39] yes i did [03:39] Sylphid: root=/dev/sda1 [03:39] roshan : open a browser, go to paste.ubuntu.com [03:39] alraune: i did it [03:39] Sylphid: oops =) [03:39] Tech said it had to do with GRUB being imporperly installed, so that may be it [03:39] but, thanks for getting someone else. [03:39] amenado: ok thanks. i'm reading it now [03:40] alraune: the site opened [03:40] do i have to wait on the deferred processing that was mentioned after the install of the flash plugin [03:40] roshan : paste the file there, give the url in here. [03:40] if i close the console will that be bad? [03:40] I just bought an NVIDIA GeForce 6200 AGP card and the driver in the Ubuntu 8.04 hardware drivers manager freezes my PC so I was wondering what I can do to get me card working properly?

[03:42] its ldconfig deferred processing [03:42] amenado: do you think it may be because the superblock has raid info in it?

[03:45] its a milestone for me sorry for caps [03:45] Will, do you have multiple hard drives? [03:45] alraune: it says permission denied [03:45] roshan, you're missing horizsync and refresh settings for one... check that link ! [03:45] npope_ I was using it to send sound to another computer... but after a reboot, it just gives me a sound like a cd skipping. And no local sound at all [03:46] No, just one. [03:46] Will, tell us a little bit about your hardware [03:46] roshan, evidently, your settings didn't get saved [03:46] Will, ok - you have the live cd handy? [03:46] roshan : paste the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file there, give the url in here., upper the X, sudo gedit ... [03:46] geniice I opened an svg of the basic circle, it appears it's a proprietary license [03:46] I'm using it now [03:46] npope_ pulseaudio -k stops the sound, but it start again with the next thing after pulse audio -D [03:46] ok this is sorta unrelated but how do i make a channel for IRC in pidgin? [03:46] CaptainMorgan: then wat do i do [03:46] Will does private messaging wirk with IRC chat? Im new to IRC and Im using Pidgin in ubuntu.Might be easier to see each others messages easier. [03:46] Will: you should reinstall grub... [03:46] nickrud uh huh I'll look into that [03:46] Will, ok. Lets try some stuff. [03:46] and or edit grub by hand [03:46] Will, first off - do you have an IDE or SATA hard drive? [03:46] I'm pretty sure it's SATA [03:46] alraune: it says permission denied [03:47] Will: sounds like grub may be pointing to the wrong partiton for boot [03:47] Will, just a tip, but when you are talking to someone, prefice the statement with their nick, to make it stand out more [03:47] i'm trying to remove my root partition from raid. I commented the lines in the mdadm.conf, changed my menu.1st, fstab, did a update-grub, and removed the boot flag from one of the mirrored root partitions. When I boot, it doesn't seem to try and boot /dev/sda1 like i've told it. I'm not even sure why it doesn't boot. anyone know what the problem might be? [03:47] RIght, thanks Zoem. [03:47] Will: can you boot into Ubuntu? [03:47] roshan : sudo gedit /var/... [03:47] Will, ok - first off lets see if the data is there. open terminal and type 'mkdir /mnt/TEST' [03:47] roshan, you need sudo permission and this is that last time I'm saying anything since you're showing no effort to assist yourself... go for it alraune [03:47] Will, err 'sudo mkdir /mnt/TEST' [03:47] choudesh: Yes, it's SATA II [03:47] when you run vino-preferences and make changes, what must you do to get the vnc server cycled? [03:47] yes i m doing [03:48] CaptainMorgan: like a virgin.. [03:48] Will, then 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/TEST' [03:48] Will, care to pastebin the grub settings? [03:48] Choudesh: alright [03:48] i am actually getting a bit confused.. since i am a new user too [03:48] Will, menu.lst...... [03:48] Will did you tell the installer to use all of the hard drive? [03:48] Will: can will boot into it? [03:48] Guy: Yes [03:48] we should see /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst [03:48] Will, what do you get as output? [03:48] Hold on [03:48] alraune this is wat i got /var/log/Xorg.0.log [03:49] alraune : sudo: /var/log/Xorg.0.log: command not found [03:49] npope_, Guy I am just walking him through to see if he did install it. Then I will t show him how to resinstall grub [03:49] lhoersten, are you at least getting to grub when you boot [03:49] roshan : keep calm, or have a break if its too hard... open it with: sudo gedit  /var/log/Xorg.0.log [03:49] Will, have you completed those commands? [03:49] alraune: okk [03:49] choudesh, if he's on a live cd, how can he tell? [03:49] Anyone here with NVIDIA driver experience? [03:50] Sylphid: yes. I just confirmed grub is installed on the MBR of sda (and sda1 and sdb1 where what I removed from raid) [03:50] paste there, url here... [03:50] i'm confused.... is Will booting into Ubuntu somehow? Or using a live cd? [03:50] I tried sudo mkdir /mnt/TEST, then sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/TEST [03:50] npope_, apparently, he's using a live cd [03:50] CaptainMorgan, mounting the hard drive and see if there is a /sata/boot folder [03:50] Guy, I'm pretty good with them [03:50] choudesh, ahh... [03:50] Guy what is the problem? [03:50] Nothing happened [03:50] lhoersten, any errors or messages from grub ? [03:50] Will, ok - now `cd /mnt/TEST/' [03:50] Will, what's in /mnt/TEST ? [03:51] Zoem Is there an easy way to install the *****.run NVIDIA driver without all the command line stuff? [03:51] Will, tell me some of the folders in there. [03:51] Sylphid: not that I saw. I'm going to check again [03:51] The driver listed X.org new driver freezes my system. [03:51] alraune: http://paste.ubuntu.com/28593/ [03:51] is there a command to type to get a listing of computers on network?? thanks inadvance [03:51] linos, smbtree [03:51] hey guys how do you updat the kernel? [03:51] Guy: its very easy "sudo sh ./NVIDIA-xyx.run" and thats the only command you need [03:51] Guy if you enable the multiverse repositories (System->Administration->Software Sources) you should be able to install EnvyNG through add/remove [03:52] CHoudesh: I did cd /mnt/TEST/, now instead of ~$ after ubuntu@ubuntu:, there's /mnt/TEST$ [03:52] Guy this provides an easy way to install the NVidia 173.* driver [03:52] roshan : gimme few minutes.. [03:52] Deus_Gear, if there is a kernel update - just apt-get upgrade...to compile your own kernel is beyond the scope of this channel [03:52] Will: do LS [03:52] Yes I tried Envy but it doesnt finish.Gives an error. [03:52] Deus_Gear: audo apt-get dist-upgrade normally will do it, if a newer one is available [03:52] Will, ok type 'ls' [03:52] audo->sudo [03:52] alraune: take ur own time [03:52] Will, ok, do ls -l /mnt/TEST or if you're in it, do ls -l [03:52] !envyng [03:52] Sylphid: no grub errors. Grub seems to be working fine. The boot fails during initramfs. perhaps I have to rebuild that? [03:52] 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. [03:52] Guy you don't get the error from running it on the command line? [03:52] alraune: i m grateful for trying 2 help me out [03:52] choudesh, thank you [03:53] hmm [03:53] linos, thank the channel [03:53] how do i give myself the almighty power of root? [03:53] Michael_, 'sudo' [03:53] no [03:53] Michael_, *****sudo****** [03:53] yes [03:53] not sudo, add root permissions to my account [03:53] Choudesh: hold on, let me open up FF so I can do a Pastebin [03:53] lhoersten, what partition has swap? [03:53] Error from running what NVIDIA driver or Envy? [03:53] Michael_, it's not recommended you do that [03:53] I know [03:53] the raeson im asking is because im using 2.6.24-16. I cant get my compiz to work because of 945gme mix up as its not being associated with the intel driver. however kernel 19 is supposed to fix it [03:53] What's the link to it? [03:53] Michael_, if you are looking for persistent then 'sudo passwd root' [03:53] but I want to do it [03:53] Michael_, add yourself to the root group ? [03:53] doing the command that was just listed doesnt update it [03:54] Sylphid: it was md1 (sda3 and sdb3) [03:54] Sylphid: I also took that out of raid [03:54] Choudesh: What's the link to the pastebin site? [03:54] how do i add myself to the root group? [03:54] choudesh, Michael_ No. don't set the root password. [03:54] Sylphid: now I just want sda2 and sdb2 to be in raid [03:54] !pastebin | will [03:54] will: 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) [03:54] Sylphid: which mdadm put on md3 [03:54] Guy nvidia driver [03:54] Michael_, man groupmod, usermod or userad [03:54] Michael_, you don't want to do that - just use sudo when needed, simple [03:54] Michael_: Are you capable of sudoing? [03:54] Zoem is it possible to private message you for one on one help? [03:54] yes [03:54] Michael_: then you're already an admin, you're done [03:54] mrr... Guy, I suppose [03:55] cs u *!*@201-34-232-131.gnace703.dsl.brasiltelecom.net.br [03:55] CaptainMorgan: i have a doubt: i tried 2 watch movies, but i can't hear a thing frm speakers: though i have installed alsa nd vlc...my speakers are working fyn bcoz just a few days back i was working with Windows XP and ther was no prblm with speakers [03:55] Well the problem is i cant use sudo for all of the GUI [03:55] and i want the power for the GUI [03:55] Michael_: gksu instead of sudo, and yes you can. [03:55] wait! [03:55] GUI SUDO?

[03:55] Choudesh: http://paste.ubuntu.com/28594/ [03:55] roshan, like 'alsa-mixer' === jrock is now known as jrock11 [03:55] Michael_: Its less cool, and more extremely dangerous [03:55] Will, wonderful [03:56] Will, ok - next command [03:56] Will: cd /boot [03:56] Sylphid: i see what's happening. the raid scripts are running from /scripts/local-premount and they are still activating all my raid arrays. then I try to mount /dev/sda1 to /root for booting and it fails because it's been claimed in the raid [03:56] roshan : can u tell me which monitor, so manufacturer and model you use ? [03:56] choudesh, looks like a partial install ? [03:56] Will, 'sudo grub-install /dev/sda' [03:56] how do i run the file explorer with gksu? [03:56] yes som1 suggested that but i coudnt get the sound still [03:56] Michael_, gksu nautilus [03:56] thanks [03:56] Sylphid: for some reason, raid is still adding the two drivers =/ [03:56] CaptainMorgan, yea - no lvm [03:56] Choudesh: http://paste.ubuntu.com/28595/ [03:56] silly question...i've been trying and I can't seem to figure it out...how do I get to a new server like "irc.blahblah.org"? [03:57] DMan: /server newservername [03:57] DMan: /server irc.blahblah.org [03:57] DMan, what do you mean "get to" ? [03:57] thanks!

[04:20] how do i configure an usb bluetooth [04:20] oh, sudo parted /dev/sda print [04:20] lampliter, check in /dev/disk/ and you should see a few different directories that have volume labels listed [04:20] Hello there [04:21] bah, lag [04:21] unop oh, sorry about the communication.

[04:22] I've downloaded the lastest Wubi installer, both Desktop and Alternate ISO's for Ubuntu 8.04.1 and placed them in the same folder as wubi.exe [04:22] and still it downloads the file [04:22] unop yes, sorry, I did not think it would take this time (of yours), [04:23] omg, wubi? oo *looks into it* [04:23] Can anyone help me with my problem? [04:23] And (for some reason I feel like saying OFCOURSE) when I burned the desktop iso as Live CD wubi didn't work [04:24] nvm, i thought wubi was a virtualization type of thing =/ [04:24] Anyone? [04:24] JFCake, I am looking into it for you [04:25] cottima, the best thing i think you ought to do is this. boot up the live CD, mount /boot and the lvm to and chroot in. then reinstall the linux-image package within the chroot .. it ought to install grub properly and setup LVM for boot [04:25] JFCake, Ok what is the problem you are experiencing? [04:25] Hi, I use pulse audio to play my sound over a network, but after my last reboot, any sound just gives me a 'skipped cd' kind of repeat. I also have no sound on the computer I play the sound on. Can anyone help me with this? [04:25] Well [04:25] First I burned the desktop Live CD iso [04:25] ran it, didnt work [04:25] ice_cream; vmware, in my opinion,is one of the best virtualization apps for ubuntu. [04:25] so I downloaded the latest version of wubi [04:26] placed both Alternate and Desktop ISO of ubuntu 8.04.1 in the same folder as wubi.exe [04:26] hello? [04:26] unop sorry, "reinstall the linux image package". how do I do that? [04:26] and it still downloads the file [04:26] when I already have both ISO's [04:26] administrator_ I hear you [04:26] cottima, http://www.techbytes.ca/techbyte118.html # should help with mounting the LVM in the live CD session. [04:26] ice_cream, I don't think so [04:26] JFCake, you did try to run the Live CD by restarting your computer and changing your boot device to CD-ROM right? [04:26] JFCake, Ok hang on I shall have a quick read of the README for wubi [04:26] i have just enabled the propierty drivers for ubuntu for my laptop, as soon as i did that and reset, now my wireless isnt configuring [04:26] anyone know whats going on? [04:26] har har yes [04:26] what? you guys are answering a question i didnt ask or even imply =P [04:27] Live CD works [04:27] but I'm trying to install ubuntu using Wubi [04:27] ???? can someone please help me? [04:27] cottima, once you have chrooted into the system. use this command to find out which linux-image package you have installed dpkg -l | grep -i linux-image then to reinstall it aptitude reinstall linux-image-$VERSION_YOU_FOUND [04:27] ice_cream, virtualbox is so good [04:27] * ice_cream nods [04:27] can some one help me with setting up a broadcom 4328 wireless driver? [04:28] JFCake, http://www.howtoforge.com/wubi_ubuntu_on_windows [04:28] ramiel77, what do u need? [04:28] JFCake, Ok have you tried turning off your internet before you run wubi? [04:28] whitefire, i dont always need the full effect of linux when i'm at work, so cygwin is usually enough [04:28] not really mechdave [04:28] can anyone help with Wireless stuff!!!!! [04:29] administrator_ i just bought a dell inspiron 1420 and i need to know how i can get my broadcom 4328 wireless driver working [04:29] but at home.. i just have several diff. computers =P [04:29] but that'd be real stupid if it works [04:29] JFCake, It seems as though wubi will look for an internet connection first and if it can't find one it defaults to a iso install [04:29] Jesus christ :/ [04:29] JFCake, another thing, you did put the .iso file in the same folder as wubi? [04:30] Yes [04:30] Both Desktop and Alternate [04:30] I'll disconnect and see if it works [04:30] administrator_, http://speedbump.ws/?p=12 [04:31] JFCake, righto... just a sec see if I can find you some more info [04:31] and if it does, I'll bitch about it to the bug to the ubuntu team allday [04:31] administrator_, it's hard to tell what's going on, but if i were you, i'd check to see if /etc/network/interfaces is still working, and then try sudo ifdown eth1 followed by sudo ifup eth1 =P [04:31] mechdave I'll try and report back [04:31] ramiel77, http://speedbump.ws/?p=12 [04:31] JFCake, LOL, righto [04:31] er... s/working/normal/ [04:31] FastZ, thanks [04:32] Choudesh: It didn't work. It took a while because I tried to install it again after it failed, but that didn't work either. [04:32] what is the default ubuntu meta key [04:32] ramiel77, Google is man's best friend [04:32] ice_cream, it can see all the wireless networks, just when i try and configure one, it spends hours trying ot connect then just dies... [04:32] FastZ, does it matter if it's rev01 or rev 03? [04:32] is it normal for windows to hose a partition table? [04:32] Choudesh: By failed I mean it said "Missing operating system" once again. [04:32] Will, a new install would overwrite any grub changes you made.... no choudesh ? [04:32] ice_cream, dies as in goes back to the i dont have a network screen [04:33] ramiel77, i doubt it. the steps to install the driver would be the same regardless of rev# i would assume [04:33] Captain: I tried before the install and it didn't work. Choudesh left? [04:33] FastZ ok [04:33] administrator_, hmm, better to ask someone who uses that same wireless configuring [Gnome?] app [04:34] ice_cream, its not the app i think, its the driver, it was working fine before i enabled the Ati driver and restarted... which doesnt make sense??? === iei is now known as eie [04:34] is there a compiz support channel on freenode? [04:34] Captain: Well this sucks. [04:34] Will, for #ubuntu irc discussions, it's best to use nick completion if your irc app supports it... simply by using [04:35] ? [04:35] Will, I know the feeling.... not sure what choudesh is up to... but maybe he'll assist later [04:35] Will, the TAB key on your keyboard [04:35] Oh [04:35] when i run apt-build the following error occurs: BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/apt-build line 32 [04:35] Will, for example, Captain doesn't notify me a new messages, but Ca will bring up some similar names to pick from [04:35] Oh [04:35] Can't locate AppConfig.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/bin/apt-build line 32.

Can anyone help me with this please? [04:36] i tried a reinstall of perl [04:36] Is ubuntu used as a web server much? [04:36] mechdave, he's back to ground zero [04:36] i use it as a server [04:36] CaptainMorgan, no OS eh? [04:36] extor, absolutey, I'm using it right now with about 65 days uptime [04:36] okay done, unop [04:36] mechdave: nothing [04:36] ice_cream, nope still wont connect :( [04:37] Will, do you have a live cd version of ubuntu? [04:37] administrator_, after what changes..? [04:37] ice_cream, is there anyone to quickly tell what security a Wireless network is running? [04:37] will reinstalling windows take down ubuntu or just grub? [04:37] CaptainMorgan, so why do people choose it over debian? And may I ask what VERSION of ubuntu you are using? [04:37] mechdave: I'm using the live CD now [04:37] ice_cream, enabling the Ati gfx card drivers... [04:37] how to i get 3d desktop amd64 [04:37] <|Zippo|> somebody is having troubles with CDRECORD? [04:37] administrator_, iwconfig should show that i think [04:37] ice_cream, i think it maybe that its not picking up the correct security protocol [04:37] cottima, so you reinstalled linux-image? [04:37] AMDpenguin, a win reinstall will take out the MBR and so Ubuntu will nott boot even though it is still there [04:37] administrator_, you said "still wont connect" as if you changed something just now [04:37] extor: because debian is hopelessly out of date and has dysfunction community politics [04:38] SO how would i fix it? [04:38] caAMDpenguin :need more info [04:38] ice_cream, na, i just tried connecting again [04:38] administrator_, and sudo iwlist scanning will show you a list of current networks in range [04:38] extor, maybe it boils down to preference, but ubuntu has really matured in the server, as well as dekstop, arenas.. I'm currently using the latest and greatest 8.04 LTS [04:38] <|Zippo|> "CDRECORD has no permission to open this device" [04:38] ice_cream, kk [04:38] Wow, whenever someone says the word will I get notified [04:38] Will, what does sudo fdisk -l say? [04:38] After the kernel update to 2.6.24-19, my sound no longer works, including network sound with pulse audio. Can anyone help me with this please? [04:38] it's weird [04:38] obidiah, woa for real? I thought ubuntu = debian-testing? [04:38] mechdave: hold on [04:38] extor hehe [04:38] ListenToMyMusic, try this to install AppConfig. sudo cpan AppConfig [04:38] Will, stick it in the pastebin] [04:38] CaptainMorgan, but isnt ubuntu = debian testing? Meaning...the packages are not as mature and hence not as safe from sploits? [04:38] mechdave, alright [04:38] how to i get 3d desktop amd64 [04:39] more like debian is australopithicus [04:39] mechdave, in terminal right? [04:39] extor: did debian people say so ? lol [04:39] debian is old and ubuntu is the new, extor :) [04:39] Will, that's right [04:39] mechdave, nothing happened. [04:39] ice_cream, ill take a look and see if i can config it [04:39] mechdave, nevermind [04:39] I made a typo [04:39] yes, unop. what next? [04:39] But I thought ubuntu couldnt live without debian...isnt debian the mother of all debs? [04:40] i have lib appconfig-perl installed [04:40] libappconfig-perl* [04:40] CaptainMorgan everything about ubuntu is debian except the most superficial. We need to remember just how much work they put into building *our* OS every day [04:40] extor: I come from the red hat world, I switched to ubuntu for my laptop because it has more recent libraries and smoother support for desktop stuff [04:40] ListenToMyMusic, or if that doesn't work. sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install "AppConfig"' [04:40] i know this is the wrong forum, but can anybody suggest a similiar chan for mac users? [04:41] unop: ok [04:41] Zoem: :) [04:41] yea, it's nice that ubuntu is now really trying to stay current [04:41] Zoem, I'm not denying anything on the debian side, without it - there may be no ubuntu, of course... [04:41] i've been following this instructions on this website, http://speedbump.ws/?p=12, to install a wireless driver and i can't get the fileroller command to unzip the .exe to work [04:41] Hello everyone. My current setup is a dual-boot system between ubuntu and windowsxp, with grub on the ubuntu partition. My cd drive has since spoiled, and i was wondering if using unetbootin would work [04:41] I don't think ubuntu offers any advantages as a server, but is a fine server. On the desktop, it's clearly the best distro [04:41] cottima, sudo update-initramfs; sudo update-grub [04:41] mechdave, http://paste.ubuntu.com/28603/ [04:41] or may have been [04:41] CaptainMorgan ok, I get a little defensive of debian sometimes, even though I love Ubuntu [04:41] but i may move over to crux to test a few ideas out.. [04:41] just hearing the name windows makes me sick [04:41] lol [04:41] Its more, Debian is the hard and 'buntu is the liveable :D [04:41] cottima, then if all went well, you should be able to reboot and be up in ubuntu [04:42] gluer, pfft =P [04:42] How can I use my ubuntu cd to split a hdd partition in two without qtparted? Trying to install qtparted is proving impossible. The cd runs so slowly and locks up a lot. [04:42] After the kernel update to 2.6.24-19, my sound no longer works, including network sound with pulse audio. Can anyone help me with this please? [04:42] Will, your partitions are still there! [04:42] obidiah, so ubuntu over knoppix even? [04:42] lol: after over 20,000 xp installations i think i can say that [04:42] unop update-initramfs is asking for option switches [04:42] Smegzor, are you on a live CD? [04:42] mechdave, so what do I do? [04:42] Will, I just have to remember how to mount an extended partition... [04:42] I'm not sure what I said that was offensive Zoem, extor there's a tremendous amount of communal and documentation support for ubuntu too which continues to grow [04:42] update or create? [04:42] i need help with file-roller? [04:43] Take your time mechdave [04:43] if i already have a dualboot system running (ubuntu/windowsxp), and my cd drive has spoilt, can i use unetbootin to re-install ubuntu on the partition? [04:43] Smegzor: what HW are u running ? [04:43] cottima, sudo update-initramfs -u; sudo update-grub [04:43] CaptainMorgan oh, prolly me over-reacting. I'm sorry if I offended [04:43] unop: yes [04:43] sorry, thanks. what next, unop? [04:43] Smegzor, ubuntu or kubuntu [04:44] alraune: its a Dell pc (not terribly powerful) [04:44] Will, mechdave, run the command 'mount' at the command line to see what partitions you've already got mounted [04:44] unop: ubuntu [04:44] cottima, reboot and cross your fingers :) [04:44] * extor wonders if he should install ubuntu or kubtuntu [04:44] CaptainMorgan after all, this is a linux channel. since no one was talking about emacs, we needed some argument :D [04:44] Smegzor, gparted should already be available [04:44] Smegzor: ram ? [04:44] Will, how about divulging your hardware specs.... not sure if it will matter a lot.. but maybe check the HCL for ubuntu ? [04:44] unop: that worked but, why would that happen all of the sudden? apt-build was working before [04:44] hello? [04:44] !ot | Zoem [04:44] Zoem: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [04:44] Will, FastZ, he is running off live disk... but a good idea none the less [04:44] ice_cream, nope, still doesnt connect... [04:44] After the kernel update to 2.6.24-19, my sound no longer works, including network sound with pulse audio. Can anyone help me with this please? [04:44] i've never found it before. when it unfreezes I'll have another look [04:45] ice_cream, should i try reinstalling ndiswrapper and the drivers? [04:45] hello? [04:45] FastZ, mount in the terminal? [04:45] ListenToMyMusic, can't say for sure -- my guess is that the module failed to load because it was corrupt or missing [04:45] argh! rebooting it (i'm not on it in here) [04:45] Will, yes mate [04:45] Will, yes, just mount [04:45] Will this iptables setup block IP addresses in the 2 expected ranges? http://pastebin.com/m5e923433 [04:45] Will, yes, just type the word 'mount' and hit enter it should show you what partitions are already mounted. [04:45] Smegzor: ram ? u could also try gparted live cd or knoppix [04:45] mechdave, hold on I'll put it in pastebin... [04:46] I was on knoppix before. the partition in question is NTFS and its hidden and not selectable for some reason [04:46] Mechdave, http://paste.ubuntu.com/28604/ [04:46] i tried mounting it (which I was able to do) that didn't unhide it from qtparted [04:46] * CaptainMorgan recommends straight shot of ubuntu for extor, but if graphical is your thing then try kubuntu [04:47] unop: k thank you [04:47] Smegzor: ram ? to resize, partitons mussn't be mounted [04:47] i think it has 1 gig [04:47] Smegzor: ram ? to resize, partitons mussn't be mounted [04:47] it was mounted [04:47] hello? [04:47] wow.. / or hdd's arent even mounted [04:47] wat should i use for a 7GB partition on windows fat32 or NTFS? [04:48] so K is more graphical than G? [04:48] Smegzor: no prob with live cd then, coul you paste a partition table ? [04:48] I only need it for videos that ubuntu dosent support [04:48] hello everyone [04:48] mechdave? You alive? [04:48] i'm waiting for the live cd to boot up again. its slooooow [04:48] extor, yes [04:48] CaptainMorgan, I think mechdave said Will was using a LiveCD so naturally the hdd wouldnt be mounted [04:48] i'm running an ubuntu and xp dualboot with two partitions [04:48] unop, no luck. Hey Thank you very much! I have to call it a night. I will try the Ubuntu alternate and see, since I was using xubuntu. (Unless the main xubuntu or ubuntu install support soft raid) [04:48] FastZ, oh, my bad [04:48] however i want to reinstall ubuntu [04:48] but my cd drive has spoilt [04:48] how can i do it? [04:48] bert[1], cd drive has what? [04:49] also (small grumble) i always have to boot in safe graphics mode. almost all pc's I've ever put the cd in don't support a display without some tweak like that. i see black screens a lot. [04:49] bert[1]: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Installation%20without%20a%20CD [04:49] my cd drive is not working anymore [04:49] If KDE is more graphic then why doesn't ubuntu use KDE by default? [04:49] wooo yellow ledbetter [04:49] bert[1], if you need to reboot into windows, fix the mbr first.. then you can always install ubuntu over again... ooh.. but your cd drive isn't work... [04:49] oh great. the live cd just crashed [04:49] cottima, well, i have to call it a night too - come back in later and tell someone what you see exactly when booting up [04:49] oh ok thanks, Flannel [04:49] Smegzor: want to give ubuntu live a try .... you checked the cd is in order? [04:49] Will, what were you trying to do again? I think the beginning of yours and mechdave's conversation got lost in the mix and I cant find it. clue me in on what's wrong and ill be glad to pitch in a bit of help if i can [04:49] I like the Ksnapshot it just blows gnome snapshot away [04:49] wrong channel [04:49] yes i got the cd to test itself [04:49] Thank you unop! [04:50] Flannel: Thanks a lot [04:50] mechdave, amigo [04:50] i'm going back to knoppix. this is nuts [04:50] I've disconnected and did exactly what I did when I was on the internet [04:50] and it worked while I was disconnected [04:50] extor, too much overhead? ubuntu maybe aims to be simplistic and efficient [04:50] Thank yall for listening folks [04:50] i tried getting my bm4328 driver to work with ndiswrapper and it didn't work any suggestions? [04:50] Smegzor: actual knoppix with ntfs support ? [04:50] Keep safe everyone. [04:50] * extor isn't satisfied with that explanation [04:51] Will, Ok now type into your terminal sudo mount -t ext2 /dev/sda2 /mnt [04:51] i have the latest version and 5.1.1 [04:51] FastZ, basically I've tried to install Ubuntu multiple times through the Live CD and install right off of the CD without going into the demo, but every time I reboot the system has a message that just says "Missing operating system". It always completes the installation process, but never works upon reboot [04:51] JFCake, How did you go? [04:51] mechdave, alright [04:51] unless someone else chimes in, it'll have to do extor [04:51] Smegzor:go ahead.. [04:51] otherwise, there's always google [04:51] Its all good [04:51] it installed perfectly [04:51] loading 5.3.1 now (the dvd version) [04:52] ramiel77, could you paste the output of 'lspci' in a pastebin and then paste the link to the pastebin post? [04:52] pastebin | ramiel77 [04:52] How can I tell what type of RAM I need, I'm buying 2GB soon and don't want to eff up. [04:52] pastebin! [04:52] FastZ, We are trying to acertain if will still has a filesystem on his partitions [04:52] eh, i dunno how to manipulate the ubottu [04:52] disconnecting worked [04:52] !pastebin | ramiel77 [04:52] ramiel77: 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) [04:52] It's !pastebin [04:52] anywho, I'll continue the installation now by restarting my computer [04:52] thanks [04:52] mechdave: http://paste.ubuntu.com/28606/ [04:52] How can I tell what type of RAM I need, I'm buying 2GB soon and don't want to eff up. [04:53] JFCake, I am glad to hear that, I read after you left that it would only work with a cd image and not a dvd image [04:53] uu, roshan doesn't comeback from reboot... [04:53] DamienG, that might be a question suited for the motherboard's manufacturer [04:53] Will, Hmmmm one minute [04:53] DamienG sudo lshw will tell you what type of chips you're using now ... [04:53] Will, mechdave, do you think that could be something to do with the MBR? Will, are you duel booting? Can you boot into Windows? [04:53] ramiel???? [04:54] ramiel77, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=197102&highlight=1501 [04:54] FastZ, Ubuntu removed Windows. [04:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/28607/ [04:54] Luckily I do not want to dual-boot [04:54] FastZ, I am guessing that he has lost the grub install on his mbr [04:54] Does anyone know where I can go to get help with Wine? [04:54] Derander: #winehq [04:54] hello, can anyone help me with a flicker problem in Hardy? [04:55] mechdave, my install is on a DVD as opposed to a CD, could this be a problem? [04:55] mechdave, er, not the install, but the ISO is burned onto a DVD [04:55] cobber2005: yes [04:55] Will, the .iso is burned as a file or as a filesystem? [04:56] obidiah, thanks, it happens afiter I suspend and then wake up [04:56] mechdave, I'm not sure [04:56] Will, well it did boot from the cd [04:56] the screen flickers whenever the system is under load/ [04:56] ubottu, CaptainMorgan, http://paste.ubuntu.com/28607/ [04:56] ramiel77: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:56] are you switching from metacity back into compiz [04:56] mechdave, yes [04:57] ramiel77, what are you showing me ? I was only assisting FastZ with the bot manipulation :) [04:57] I don't really know what metacity is. Compiz is the animation stuff in the UI, right? I have that turned off. [04:57] mechdave, I saw you were talking to that one guy JFcake, and you said something about it not working off of a DVD [04:57] Will, there is not a problem with your cd but I think we have a problem with your master boot record... try sudo grub-install /dev/sda1 [04:57] Will, mechdave, can you access gParted in an Ubuntu liveCD while on that computer? that should show you the labels for the partitions... it might not be /dev/sda2 for your what you're trying to get into [04:57] Will, He was using a different install method al together [04:58] mechdave, choudesh walked him through grub-install [04:58] just an fyi [04:58] CaptainMorgan, Right... Hmmmm strange [04:58] CaptainMorgan, sorry, someone told me to put the results of lspci into pastebin so i could get help with my wireless driver [04:58] FastZ, Good idea [04:58] mechdave, I'm going to try that again anyway [04:58] Hey [04:58] Will, scratch that [04:58] haha, ramiel77, ubottu is a bot.... [04:59] Mechdave, alright. [04:59] how do i chmod 644 a folder and its contents and subdirectories [04:59] Can i use desklets in ubuntu?? [04:59] Michael_, chmod 644 /dir/ -R [04:59] FastZ, explain what I'm trying to do again? === [ANC]wyhteagle is now known as wyhteagle [05:00] Michael_, you might need an asterisk in there... chmod 644 /dir/* -R [05:00] Will, type sudo apt-get install gparted [05:00] mechdave, alright [05:00] i fixed roshan's xorg.conf and told him to reboot, though I ensured he had a live cd, he's not coming back , as I log out now, there is a /etc/x11/xorg.conf backup, waited 20 min now n8 [05:00] Will, when you boot up into the Ubuntu LiveCD, go to System>Administration>Partition Editor [05:00] FastZ, it is there is it? [05:00] FastZ, sorry, i didn't know that, this is the results of lspci http://paste.ubuntu.com/28607/ and the ndiswrapper -l results bcmwl5 : driver installed [05:00] device (14E4:4328) present [05:00] FastZ, I did what mechdave said [05:01] Will, is it installed? [05:01] mechdave, it should be already part of the OS [05:01] mechdave, it was already installed apparently [05:01] mechdave, where do I find it? [05:01] ramiel77, have you rebooted the laptop? [05:01] ramiel77, whats in lshw -C network [05:01] obidiah: Do you know how to fix the flickering? [05:01] Will, ok in the terminal type sudo gparted [05:01] FastZ, I did reboot the laptop [05:02] mechdave, it's open [05:02] Ok what does it say? [05:02] could someone tell me how I can apply this patch: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=15627&action=view ? [05:03] sylphid, http://paste.ubuntu.com/28608/ [05:03] did anybody work with cssh on cygwin? [05:03] How do I install a 32-bit program(.deb) in 64-bit ubuntu? [05:03] mechdave, there's 3 partitions [05:03] !chroot | forcearch [05:03] forcearch: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box [05:03] ramiel77, try sudo modprobe ndiswrapper [05:03] How do I install a 32-bit program(.deb) in 64-bit ubuntu? <--- using hardy btw. [05:04] Will, is the swap contained in the extended partition? [05:04] sylphid, then what? [05:04] forcearch, you can't do that normally, you have to setup a seperate compartment to install 32 bit applications in [05:04] /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, and in /dev/sda2 there's /dev/sda5 mechdave. [05:04] unop: couldn't you like, forcearch previously? [05:04] seems like it doesn't work now.. [05:04] how do i install a desklet in ubuntu [05:04] Will, What are the labels? [05:04] ramiel77, see if lshw -C network changed [05:04] or I might be doing it wrong [05:04] Will, sorry mountpoints [05:04] forcearch, what? i don't follow you [05:04] could someone tell me how I can apply this patch: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=15627&action=view ? [05:04] mechdave, /dev/sda2 is extended [05:05] Will, is there with the mount point /boot? [05:05] doesn't say if it's a swap, how would I check this mechdave? [05:05] sylphid, it's capabilities no longer include bus_master [05:05] I dont get the sub-menus in the cssh window when i compile it in cygwin [05:05] uhhhhhh [05:05] Will, it should say linux-swap in the filesystem column [05:05] ramiel77, the configuration line should have a section saying driver=ndiswrapper [05:06] mechdave, it says this for /dev/sda5 [05:06] Will, mechdave, what are you guys trying to locate in swap? try mounting /dev/sda1 and then checking out what all parts of the FS got installed. if you can find the grub menu in /boot/grub/menu.lst then paste that in a pastebin [05:06] unop sudo dpkg --forcearchitecture -i NAMEOFDEB.deb something like that. It worked in 7.10 I think [05:06] sylphid, there is no line saying driver=ndiswrapper [05:06] The_Warlock maybe you should be asking about compiling under cywin in a cygwin channel [05:06] FastZ, I'll try /boot/grub/menu.lst [05:07] FastZ, I am trying to get an idea what is contained in his extended and also if there is a /boot partition [05:07] forcearch, don't ever do that unless you know exactly what the consequences of that action are .. [05:07] Will, you'll have to find a way to mount /dev/sda1 first [05:07] unop: it doesn't even work now... [05:07] FastZ, how? [05:07] Will, it won't work yet [05:07] Will, not sure yet, [05:07] hmm.. when I try to resize the ntfs partition with qtparted, it appears to get part way through then I get an empty dialog and it stops. Does this mean I can't resize it? [05:07] forcearch, that will force the package to be installed .. but _does not_ guarantee it will work - infact i'd be surprised if the package worked at all [05:07] will I think we shall try to mount /dev/sda1 [05:08] Ok [05:08] mechdave, usually the only thing in the extended partition is the swap, nothing really of value should be in there...i dont think [05:08] forcearch isn't it --force-architecture ? [05:08] Will, sudo mount -t ext2 /dev/sda1 /mnt [05:08] nickrud I'm not sure. [05:08] FastZ, that is what I was thinking, I just wanted to make sure [05:08] forcearch check man dpkg [05:08] hey guys i am having trouble with pidgin. It refuses to launch, i tried doing from the terminal but still nothing. [05:08] mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted or /mnt busy [05:08] mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is already mounted on /mnt [05:09] Will, that is ok [05:09] nickrud, he's trying to force a 32bit app to install on his 64bit system [05:09] also reinstalled it from synaptic [05:09] ramiel77, sudo apt-get install ndisgtk [05:09] Will, ok cd /mnt [05:09] unop yeah, that's what force-architecture does [05:09] mechdave, then? [05:09] ls [05:09] nickrud, not a wise thing to do - is what i am getting at [05:09] :) [05:09] Will, mechdave, I gotta split guys. Sorry i cant stick around and help longer. good luck Will [05:10] Will, ls /boot/grub/ [05:10] thank you FastZ [05:10] FastZ, no worries thanks for your input... appreciated [05:10] could someone tell me how I can apply this patch: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10395#c4 [05:10] unop if he has the ia32 libs installed ...

[05:10] nickrud which I do... [05:10] !VMWare [05:10] 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.

(Bash) [05:11] mechdave, bash: ls.txt: Permission denied [05:11] unop not something I'd do myself, or recommend but forcearch says he's done it before, so no reason not to give the right syntax ;) [05:12] nickrud for the record I installed crossover pro with it previously [05:12] Will, try ls /mnt > ~/ls.txt [05:12] nickrud, ok, i'll just wash my hands off of this affair :) [05:12] and I really wish that avg/avast would release 64-bit versions of their .debs... [05:12] sylphid, i'll try [05:12] * nickrud crosses his fingers in the general direction of that abomination crossover ;p [05:12] then gedit ~/ls.txt [05:12] Will, then gedit ~/ls.txt [05:12] thenewguy, what do you mean by "nothing" happens? the program simply never appears on your desktop, correct? run ps -aux or add | grep pidgin to see if you can locate its process [05:13] Blaqlight, ~/.profile and ~/.bashrc not enough? [05:13] Will, then pastebin it [05:13] Can anyone help me with some VMWare Server issues? [05:13] what do you do with pkg build files like http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bluediving/bluediving/PKGBUILD ?

[05:13] mechdave, I'll put it in pastebin [05:13] HI [05:13] Will, righto [05:13] sylphid, it's says the driver is installed [05:13] forcearch just a joke. I run stuff in virtualbox if I must [05:13] mechdave, http://paste.ubuntu.com/28614/ [05:14] forcearch, or construct your system as a dual booting system :) [05:14] ramiel77, you may want to remove it and reinstall ... then reboot [05:14] forcearch: run programs that are just as good or even better written for linux [05:14] ice_cream: yeah I had forgotten about those... old age you know, but then again I need to just use this particular profile for this one program. use default for all else. [05:14] Will, cd /boot [05:14] then ls > ~/ls.txt again [05:14] thenewguy, did you locate its process ? [05:14] CaptainMorgan: trying [05:14] Bruners: oh okay. Now show me HL2 for linux.

[05:22] mechdave, yes, but I want to be able to reinstall windows later [05:23] Deus_Gear, can't be much help as I've only had to do a couple in the past... but look over man patch [05:23] boGGdy-> if your intention is to dual boot, always install windows first [05:23] boGGdy, ok you can run windows and ubuntu as a dual boot, if you install windows you will lose the ability to boot ubuntu [05:23] boGGdy-> it will save you troubles later [05:24] Will, is it possible to install other OS's on your system? as in the past ? [05:24] i tried looking over it [05:24] i have no idea what im supposed to edit [05:24] hehe [05:24] CaptainMorgan, for some reason it won't let me re-install Windows [05:24] Will, We are trying to retrieve your old ubuntu install [05:24] boGGdy or at least, leave the the first partition on the first disk empty, so you can install windows there later [05:24] amenado: ok, after I install win... what options should I choose in the format screen? [05:24] Will, wow.... [05:24] Will, try a different hdd ? [05:24] CaptainMorgan, want me to try to re-install it and tell you what the error is? [05:25] Will, for windows? sure [05:25] Hold on. [05:25] boGGdy-> just leave enuff space for another partition (at least 10gigs) for your linux if you install windows first [05:25] Will, I had that problem once with my laptop [05:26] mechdave, unop et al, if this problem persists over more than one OS, it's obviously hardware specific .... [05:26] amenado: I already have win installed, so I'll leave it there [05:26] amenado: do I have to edit hda1? [05:26] boGGdy-> most likely you have to resize your windows partition to leave room for linux.. [05:27] Will, it is something to do with partitions on the hard drive, I removed all partitions with fdisk (linux version) and XP reinstalled fine [05:27] boGGdy-> you only have one disk? [05:27] Will, where were we? [05:27] amenado: yes, two partitions [05:27] mechdave, he's trying windows for the heck of it [05:28] CaptainMorgan, righto [05:28] boGGdy-> you already have two partitions? what filesystem on each? [05:28] vmware would have been a better/easier route to go for testing purposes [05:28] amenado: ntfs, both [05:29] boGGdy, make sure that you retain windows on the first partition on the first drive otherwise it will not boot! [05:29] amenado: I would guess it's a retail system that came with a recovery partition. Is that right, boGGdy? [05:29] boGGdy-> then perhaps migrate the data you have on the second partition so you can then reformat it for linux usage [05:29] bastid_raZor: wont always give the same error codes when running in a virtual enviroment [05:29] bobertdos-> yeah i forgot about that hidden partition for recovery.. [05:30] bobertdos: no, I have the first partition with the OS and the second is for... stuff. it's not a recovery partition [05:30] what's the ideal kernel for an athlon 64 x2 4000+ ? [05:30] boGGdy, install ubuntu on the second partition [05:31] dbbolton: The generic kernel. Either 32 or 64 bit. [05:31] mechdave: do I hjave to edit the ntfs partition? [05:31] *have [05:32] Flannel, does the generic kernel support smp? [05:32] dbbolton: Of course [05:32] boGGdy: Yes, but at least if you use that one, you won't risk XP itself. [05:32] hm, didn't know that [05:32] boGGdy, I would reset the second partition as ext3 [05:32] dbbolton: every kernel since Dapper has been for both SMP/UP [05:32] bobertdos: it means I'll have to save my data from it [05:33] boGGdy, yes [05:33] hi everyone [05:33] Flannel, do they no longer develop a k8 kernel? [05:33] boGGdy: Yeah, unless you let the partitioner resize the free space, like we were saying before. [05:33] can anyone tell me why everyone hates iptables and routing so much? why is it impossible to get any help with it at all? [05:33] mechdave: lat me ask you this: what type of partition should I create to install ubuntu on? [05:34] dbbolton: As of 6.10, there are no arch specific kernels, they're all in -generic (and -386 is available if -generic causes problems) [05:34] ext43 [05:34] boGGdy, I would use an ext3 partition [05:34] ext3 sorry [05:34] ok, thanks [05:34] dbbolton: The only reason Hardy has packages (transitional packages) for the arch ones is because dapper upgrades to it. [05:35] OK, guys, I got it. I will rearange the space here and make another partition for ubuntu. thank you very much for your support [05:35] boGGdy, no worries... glad to help [05:35] hey guys.. when i turn the brightness down on my laptop with a function key.. ubuntu supports that which is great.. but then after a while, the brightness automatically cranks up to full again? [05:36] im getting frustrated with having to turn the brightness back down repeatedly.. to try to conserve battery ;) [05:36] no one? [05:36] :/ [05:36] sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/hello.pl [05:37] DeFirence: really theres not a hell of a lot to know about iptables.. if you're looking to do something very advanced with it, generally you'd already be very knowledgeable in that area [05:37] snadge: does your laptop have a light sensor that adjusts brightness based on ambient light [05:37] DeFirence-> umm because it is difficult to comprehend and a mistake can be costly ; for example you may have thought you plugged a hole but really did not..that kind of thing [05:37] HELP ME [05:37] please [05:37] sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/hello.pl [05:37] it's not working right [05:37] Michael_, what's the question? [05:37] SegFaultAX: my flatmate seems to think it does have a light sensor.. but i dont know how to configure/disable that? [05:37] [Sat Jul 19 23:35:15 2008] [error] [client 69.66.175.177] (8)Exec format error: exec of '/usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/hello.pl' failed, referer: http://www.wrathpwn.co.nr/cgi-bin/hello.pl [05:37] Okay CaptainMorgan, got the message. [05:37] now apache says i should chmod it [05:37] snadge: what kind of computer do you have [05:38] its an MSI EX700 laptop [05:38] snadge, i have a simple script that ive been trying to get working for weeks with no success, im starting to think its ubuntu related and that i should try it on another distro :/ [05:38] and ive been sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/hello.pl all night trying to get it to work [05:38] DeFirence: what are you trying to do with iptables.. port forwarding, filtering, masquerading? [05:38] CaptainMorgan: Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. Windows must be installed to a partition formatted as NTFS. [05:38] DeFirence-> furthermore, it is a customization issues, not everyone have similar network layouts, and number of devices and such [05:39] hey guys how can i make a graphic for the dump results of hcidump? [05:39] anyone know about apache error 8? [05:39] snadge: have you looked in the bios for light sensor setttings? [05:39] snadge, im trying to forward port x to external ip x.x.x.x:x via interface x [05:39] jmoncayo-> you mean how to make a graph? [05:39] amenado: yep [05:39] =] [05:39] snadge, ive been trying to find out what is wrong with my script for weeks, have hardly even slept [05:40] its 6:45am again now [05:40] DeFirence: so from an internal network, you want your gateway/router to forward a connection on an internal port, to a host on an external interface? [05:40] and im still no further then i was 48 hours ago [05:40] Will very strange.... what would I do? seeing as everything has failed thus far... burn a copy of the kill disk or a partitioner and wipe out the filesystems its reporting, what does it have on there now? ext3? wipe that out.... but very strange.. the Windows installer should be able to format that partition to one suitable for it... as should ubuntu [05:40] jmoncayo you have to put the data in some kind of table (massaging it) and use graphing tools, [05:40] CaptainMorgan, it wouldn't let me format it. [05:41] snadge, this is my script: http://defirence.pastebin.com/f3aff5364 - no one seems to be able to tell me the problem with it, but you should be able to see what it does pretty easily [05:41] sdfsoi [05:41] DeFirence-> it would help if you have drawn the layout of your network to include all pertinent devices and services you'd like to serve or forward [05:41] Anyone here good with apache? Please? [05:41] amenado: but is there any program already made for that? for hcidump in specific [05:41] did you review the bios Will ? could it be encrypted ? [05:41] Michael_, #apache [05:41] apache is out of good ideas [05:41] CaptainMorgan, how do I review the bios? [05:42] and is very angry with me [05:42] jmoncayo-> i doubt it, but you can google for hcidump and graphing perhaps? [05:42] amenado, its alot simpler then that, i just want my script to work and as far as i (and everyone thats looked at it) can tell theres nothing wrong? [05:42] amenado, http://defirence.pastebin.com/f3aff5364 [05:42] snadge > go to System > Power Management > On Battery Power > Disable checkboxes [05:42] take a look yourself :) [05:42] hit f2 or f12 when your system turns on and runs post... enter bios and examine the hdd settings [05:42] DeFirence-> you may think it is that simple, but a good drawing speaks of thousand words..so can you draw one? [05:42] I can only print to a windows shared printer only if I send the print job a second time [05:43] any ideas? [05:43] F12 goes into teh boot menu, so I'll try F2 CaptainMorgan. [05:43] Will have you tried a different hdd in this same system ? [05:43] DeFirence: yeah what the other guys said.. that looks like a relatively complex script, and without knowing how you're trying to use it.. and for what purpose, and the layout of your network.. its very difficult to determine the cause of your problem [05:43] CaptainMorgan, no I only have one Hard Drive [05:43] SegFaultAX: checking that now [05:43] I can only print to a windows shared printer only if I send the print job a second time [05:43] snadge: cool, let me know if that helped [05:43] amenado, im not so good with drawings, although ive made network diagrams before, my script doesnt revolve around the network, just one ppp connection [05:43] Will, that should be another route to try when you get a chance to.... seeing as you're running into brick walls [05:44] any ideas? [05:44] DeFirence-> without a picture and lots of explanation, its hard to tell from what you pasted [05:44] CaptainMorgan, I'll consider it instead of getting more RAM. [05:44] be right back. [05:44] I can only print to a windows shared printer only if I send the print job a second time [05:44] any ideas? [05:45] I'm running the amd64 version of Ubuntu and I need the 32bit libraries installed. Do I apt-get them and if so, what am I apt-getting ? [05:45] Michael_, I'm still confused over your problem, be specific while being clear and coherent please [05:45] amenado & snadge : [LocalHost] Port 10001 -> 41.240.13.5:2222 via ppp1 [05:45] its that simple really [05:45] DeFirence-> it doesnt have to be an artist rendering, boxes, labels, cables, ip addresses and explanations to draw a layout is adequate [05:45] I can only print to a windows shared printer only if I send the print job a second time [05:45] any ideas? [05:45] Michael_, on the surface it appears like a permissions problem.. but apache is funny, you may not be allowed to view anything set by the apache www-default user [05:45] amenado, my script needs no ips or cables, its just 1 port and 1 ppp connection [05:45] read above ^^ [05:45] which you would need to change to yourself in apache.conf, httpd.conf, et al [05:45] you r da suck [05:46] SegFaultAX: it appears ubuntu is faulty.. when i disable the screen dimming thing, it stays at the brightness i set it.. the problem is when you have your brightness already set to minimum.. then it automatically makes it bright when you start using your laptop again [05:46] !patient | complexity [05:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about patient [05:46] DeFirence-> you are not getting the gist, without a picture or layout, there are so many question back and forth..a picture is worht a thousand words..get it? [05:46] !patience | complexity [05:46] complexity: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [05:47] amenado, ok, let me make a picture... [05:47] SegFaultAX: but thankyou, disabling the automatic dimming has solved my problem for now [05:47] heeeelp, after I suspend and wake back up in Hardy, the screen flickers! [05:47] sorry, being impatient, can not find an answer anywhere!!!! <-- google master [05:48] hello all [05:48] captainmorgan: what should the permissions be set to (PS im setting them with the GUI not command prompt) [05:48] Michael_, sudo chmod +x /path/to/file [05:48] Michael_, don't pm without asking permission first, thank you [05:48] Michael_, also make sure that the first line of the file has this. #!/usr/bin/perl [05:49] Michael_, if it does, try changing it to #!/usr/bin/perl -w [05:49] what? [05:49] im confused [05:49] first line of the file ... [05:49] Hello, bsusa, how may we help you? [05:49] could someone please help me with a little issue. When i play a video on my pc it only displays the video in full screen mode and when im in window mode i dont see any video just a black screen with sound. Any suggestiond please? [05:50] unop he's been playing with chmods for awhile... can you express to him that apache uses a www-default user in its config that needs to be looked at as no matter what the chmod settings are, he'll be blocked out due to this apache config setting [05:50] bsusa: what program is it using to play? [05:50] which I previously tried explaining [05:50] VLC [05:50] bsusa: and what format are you watching? [05:50] avi [05:50] flv seems to work [05:50] bsusa: does it automagically drop into fullscreen mode when it first starts? [05:51] not all the time, but it posed a problem for a number of systems I looked into [05:51] no in window mode. [05:51] CaptainMorgan, ownership of scripts in cgi-bin shouldn't matter rather, 755 in his case, doesn't ensure that www-data can execute the script - i beleive root owns it at the moment, so only root can execute the script [05:51] goodnight and/or goodday everyone, Will best of luck mate I'll be back later to check up on things [05:52] doh... www-data, my bad.. time for a needed rest :) [05:52] bsusa: is overlay turned on? === co_sLengean is now known as HArRy_CaKeP [05:53] Michael_, how's it going? [05:53] u mean in the video driver [05:53] settings->preferences [05:53] Horrible! [05:54] Michael_, try this, if you have't already. sudo chmod +x /path/to/file [05:54] settings->Preferences where bouts i have system-)preferences [05:54] it's a check option, can't miss it, should be right there [05:55] on video [05:55] anybody got a few minutes for some advice on some backup issue type questions? [05:55] Michael_, i.e. sudo chmod +x /usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/hello.pl [05:55] i know [05:55] !anyone [05:55] 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? [05:55] ccould someone tell me how to install the latest kernel [05:55] bsusa: also see if you have any filters enabled [05:55] k 1 sec [05:56] Deus_Gear, sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude install linux-image [05:56] sry i was looking in the wrong place ill check it out now 1 sec [05:56] ty [05:56] i.e. backup the entire drive but it's encrypted [05:56] bsusa: np [05:56] its giving me no response [05:56] i enter the sudo password, then nothing [05:56] kmyst, do you want the backups encrypted too? [05:56] hey what up [05:57] Michael_, it shouldn't return anything meaning the command has completed successfully [05:57] unop: most definitely...what'd be the point backing up data and leaving it unencrypted? :) [05:57] unop: it says "the update command takesno arguments" [05:57] how long does it take? [05:57] sudo chmod +x /usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/hello.pl [05:57] thats what i put [05:57] Deus_Gear, type the command out properly [05:57] Deus_Gear, or better, copy and paste it in the terminal [05:57] it goes back to michael@ubuntu [05:58] Michael_: that means it's done [05:58] Michael_, right, that means it has completed fine [05:58] ok [05:58] so... [05:58] Michael_, now, what does this return? ls -ld /usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/hello.pl [05:58] whats the diagnosis? [05:58] unop: somehow i figure doing a dd if=/dev/sda of=drive.img type of command won't get me what i want since the drive is encrypted [05:58] -rwxrwxrwx 1 www-data www-data 23 2008-07-19 22:39 /usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/hello.pl [05:59] granted i could craft a find | cpio command but that isn't going to be encrypted [05:59] kmyst, well, it would work -- but the resulting file wouldn't be encrypted (i should think so) [05:59] k unop [06:00] k same thing i took off the overlay still nothing [06:00] unop: ya...thus my "problem" [06:00] it does the same thing in all the other players [06:00] You see, i'm trying to get perl to work, so I can build the first info bot "fueled by 4chan". [06:00] and simple backup is well...simple [06:01] kmyst, you could do something like . dd id=/dev/sda | openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -salt -in - -out encrypted.enc [06:01] mbeal [06:01] Michael_, what happens when you navigate to http://localhost/cgi-bin/hello.pl [06:02] Internal Server Error [06:02] [Sun Jul 20 00:01:34 2008] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (8)Exec format error: exec of '/usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/hello.pl' failed [06:02] Why do the outputs of /proc/net/route and the route command differ? [06:02] Michael_, pastebin the contents of hello.pl [06:02] unop: that could work...the thought i was wondering is that if i boot off a live cd and dd the drive in that manner would the resulting image be useful since the drive wasn't opened with luks? [06:02] its not that big [06:02] print "Hello World\n"; [06:03] amenado, ok i found some crappy program but i put something together... [06:03] or would i be backing up garbled random data? :) [06:03] Michael_, you are missing the shebang line .. the very first line must say this. #!/usr/bin/perl [06:03] SHEBANG?

What is the best IRC program for Linux? [06:10] :) [06:10] Powerman: irssi rules [06:10] !best | Powerman [06:10] Powerman: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [06:11] amenado, i just used pon ppp-connection-name and poff to start and stop the connections [06:11] Powerman, i suggest you start off with xchat - it's fairly simple [06:11] DeFirence-> as you can see, there are several questions... how was the ethernet established? what do you have between you and the ISP? [06:11] <-- What I have now. [06:11] Powerman; i like xchat, that is my opinion. [06:11] Why do the outputs of /proc/net/route and the route command differ? [06:12] Okay, going to play around with X Chat a bit then. Be back later. :) [06:12] amenado, the ethernet is connected to the lan connection at my house and i have a router thats on the network that handles all pppoe connections... [06:12] amenado, the routing is not affected by that at all though [06:12] That was quick, Powerman. [06:13] bullgard4, /proc/net/route represents addresses in hex while route does in decimal - other than that, it has some extra info === elizabeth is now known as beth [06:13] DeFirence-> im going to request a better drawing to depict what you got, devices and all between the hosts..otherwise there are far too many question i have that i cant help administrator in quick time === beth is now known as beth1234123 [06:13] beth1234123: please watch the nick spam [06:14] can anyone tell me how to get gksudo to not ask for a password [06:14] DeFirence-> i dont even know if that server 41.240.x.x is in your lan or across the ISP.. [06:14] tritium, sorry I was trying to find one that wasnt in use [06:14] amenado, u understand my situation? any questions? [06:14] beth1234123, gksudo has to ask for a password [06:14] amenado, do you still not understand what im trying to do, you should see from the drawing i made that my equipment is irrelevant? [06:15] DeFirence-> no, i dont understand sorry... you have to draw a better layout [06:15] thethirdmoose, no way to change it like you can with sudoers [06:15] amenado, the drawing says external ( ie, a external ip on the internet) why else would it go through the ppp connection [06:15] beth1234123, sorry, I don't know [06:15] thethirdmoose, with sudo [06:15] sigh, ok seems like you cant help me then amenado [06:16] DeFirence-> thats why i told you, your drawing does not depict what devices are in between..you cant even tell me how you are connecting to your ISP [06:16] beth1234123; type sudo visudo then at the bottom add this : yourUsername ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/gksudo [06:16] amenado, there is nothing that i didnt draw that has any relevance to the script or what i am trying to do. [06:16] DeFirence-> okay, i cant help you if you dont provide good info [06:16] bastid_raZor, perfect... didn't think of that, thanks [06:16] amenado, THERE IS NOTHING I DIDNT PROVIDE?!? [06:16] beth1234123; you are familiar with vim right? [06:17] DeFirence: calm down [06:17] yes [06:17] DeFirence-> you seemed to be pre-disposed that those info am seeking are irrelevant.. [06:17] unop: Your answer cannot be the whole truth: The 'route' output has a 'Router' column, /proc/net/route does not. [06:17] amenado, the devices have no impact on this at all? [06:17] beth1234123; okay, that should do it :) [06:17] DeFirence-> how do you know the devices in-between has not impact? [06:17] tritium, if you're following this discussion you would see why i am a little on edge... [06:17] amenado, because im not an idiot [06:17] but if i remember correctly it is actually nano in vi mode [06:18] same thing i guess [06:18] DeFirence-> i would not call you as such, am just trying to get a clearer picture [06:18] DeFirence: that's no excuse. Remain calm, and stay on topic, and don't use all-caps. [06:18] beth1234123; i prefer vim and have vim set as my editor. [06:18] amenado, the script needs to route port x to ip z via ppp1 - thats got nothing to do with equipment [06:18] Can someone help me set up alsa with wine? [06:18] w00t [06:18] bullgard4, the terms router and gateway can be used interchangeably - as routers are gateways to other subnets [06:18] i got wireless, i got 3d rendering and direct rendering working [06:18] im so happy [06:18] DeFirence-> okay i give up, you are unwilling to provide the info i seek [06:19] thanks unop [06:19] amenado, uhm, you're asking me for off topic info [06:19] Deus_Gear, yw [06:19] amenado, i may as well give you my address, phone number etc too, itll be just as, if not more helpfull [06:19] helpful* [06:19] DeFirence: you're highly offtopic. Please stop. [06:19] DeFirence-> no it is not, what if the devices in between also provides routing and forwarding? [06:20] i cant believe all my headaches were just a kernel recompile away [06:20] tritium, i am not. [06:20] amenado, ok, what if i say pppX is a direct connection to the internet? [06:20] unop: Ah, this is a very goog explanation. Thank you very much. [06:20] since it is... [06:20] Can someone please help me with alsa and wine? [06:21] amenado, do you know what a pppoe connection is? [06:21] fffffffff [06:21] DeFirence-> how did that ip address of 192.168.0.99 got assigned to your host? [06:21] jerry__, no spam, thanks [06:21] amenado, that is eth0's ip [06:22] the ppp connection's ip is dynamic, as you can see in my script it is $IP [06:22] @ amenado [06:22] just add justing stuff [06:22] DeFirence-> and your gateway ip address is? [06:23] how do i connect to a wep encrypted access point? [06:23] amenado, GW="$5" [06:23] i think i need madwifi for an atheros card ? where does one find madwifi for dapper ? [06:23] $GW is the ppp connection's gateway ip [06:23] Agent_bob: they're provided automatically in the restricted drivers [06:24] unop: looks like i came up with a workable solution: duplicity will allow me to hobble together enough of what i need to accomplish [06:24] tritium so i have to use the i386 kernel to get madwifi to work and have to use i686 kernel to get ati vidio to work ??? [06:24] anyone else can help with wireless? [06:25] whenever i try to connect to wep, i input the wep key and it looks like its doing something but then eventually it asks me for the key again, i know i have the right key, cause it works on windows [06:25] kmyst, is that duplicity - a name of an app or do you mean a mirrored volume? [06:25] amenado, are you starting to understand? [06:25] unop: name of an app [06:25] anolis_, are u sure ur not using WPA or WPA2 sec? [06:25] it is a 10 digit hex key, and i select 64/128bit hex from the drop down list [06:25] kmyst, ahh, cool [06:25] absolutely sure administrator_ [06:25] anolis_, type iwlist scanning in a term and make sure.... [06:25] DeFirence-> i will give up..i have far too many questions to ask, guessing what gw, ip, if and such ... [06:26] i have a 2wire sw1000 home gateway [06:26] amenado, can u help me with my wireless now? [06:26] amenado, sorry for not wanting to give you useless info, but ive gone through my set up with about 50 people over the last 2 weeks trying to get this working and i do not wish to waste any more of your time or mine [06:26] unop: straight up command line driven, highly configurable...roll your own type of solution :) [06:26] it isn't capable of anything but wep [06:26] tritium ? [06:26] anolis_: have you tried entering the key in hex and or plaintext [06:26] Can someone help me with a boot issue of ubuntu on a Macbook Pro? [06:26] DeFirence-> okay, i wish you luck to get help with minimal info [06:26] amenado, again you want to ask questions that are clearly in the pastebin? [06:26] kmyst, will keep that at the back of my brain if i ever find out rsync to be incapable :) [06:26] amenado, omg [06:27] amenado, there is nothing i havnt given you [06:27] LumpyCam, i selected hex from the drop down list, i have also done it manually in the terminal [06:27] amenado, have you ever looked at the script? [06:27] amenado, can u help me now then? [06:27] Has anyone else installed ubuntu on a mac? [06:27] LumpyCam, "iwconfig wlan0 key XX:XX:XX:XX:XX" [06:27] DeFirence-> if i may suggest, provide info on your paste such as external ip towards isp is such.. [06:28] amenado, its a 8 line script... [06:28] unop: ya i'd rsync but it wouldn't work well for my scenario [06:28] kdb424, yes it has been done [06:28] anyone know a source of "madwifi" for dapper i686 kernel ? [06:28] anolis_: try prepending the hex key with 0x if you havent yet. === iei is now known as eie [06:28] DeFirence-> as you have stated many had tried to assist you and somehow cannot comprehend what you got..then im falling in the same trap [06:29] amenado, no, you are the first one not to understand what im doing [06:29] hmm lemme try. [06:29] amenado, the rest simply cant find the problem [06:29] amenado, i dont understand what you dont understand :( [06:30] anolis_ : I PM'd you [06:30] anolis_: how about essid? the key should be ok. [06:30] amenado, can u help? [06:30] is there any way I can disconnect a host that I have found on my network? [06:31] LumpyCam, you can vnc into my box if you want, i can show you whats going down [06:31] administrator ill try..you have already loaded ndiswrapper? what happened after [06:31] Can anyone help me with installing Ubuntu on a mac? Please PM me [06:31] kdb424: What arch? [06:31] LumpyCam, yes essid is good to. [06:31] administrator_-> does it establish an association to your AP ? [06:31] !dualboot | kdb424 [06:31] kdb424: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [06:31] anolis_: I hate ubuntu+wifi. i'm on debian [06:32] amenado, ok, it loads up, i can use iwlist scanning, but when i try and configure a wireless network with all the correct settings, it sits there attempting to connect for about 90 seconds and then just says disconnected [06:32] kdb424: laptop? [06:32] amenado, nope it doesnt associate wif the AP [06:32] kdb424: do you have OS X installed? [06:32] What does the entry 'auto lo' in /etc/network/interfaces mean? [06:32] LumpyCam, i might switch to slackware. but iunno [06:32] Yea I have OSX === eie is now known as iei [06:32] LumpyCam, it would be great if i could get this working so i don't have to use vmware to connect [06:32] kdb424: have you tried using bootcamp? [06:32] I followed the guide on the forums, but I can't get it to boot from reefit [06:32] I am using bootcamp [06:32] administrator_-> when you do your iwlist wlan0 scan you see your own AP? and you are doing this on the clear right? not with WPA or WPA2 or wep ? [06:33] ah sourceforge.net has madwifi i'll try that. [06:33] bullgard4: it brings up loopback address, localhost [06:33] kdb424: core2duo? [06:33] good idea Agent_bob [06:33] asmo[B] : yes [06:33] amenado, i can see my AP, i tried it with all the correct settings, then ive tried with WPA2 and WEP aswell, still nothing [06:33] I'm having really weird audio problems. [06:33] Why does audio only work in a few apps, like aplayer? [06:34] *alsaplayer [06:34] amenado, and yea this is my AP, im not smart enuff to try and hack someone elses when i cant even connect to my own... lol [06:34] administrator, which chip your wifi uses again? [06:34] hey, does anyone know something to convert a divx file to DVD format so i can burn? [06:34] kdb424: what errors? [06:34] amenado, the dell 1501, its a Broadcom one, the one everyone seems to have trouble with B43 i think [06:34] paul_5666, "sudo apt-get install ffmpeg; man ffmpeg" [06:34] asmo[B] : No error. I just can't boot from reefit. It never gets past the penguin [06:35] anolis_: rgr [06:35] LumpyCam: What do you mean by 'to bring up'? [06:35] administrator ahh the infamouse bc43xx? then we are both out of luck, i've tried that many times and just couldnot get it to work [06:35] bcm43xx* [06:35] paul_5666; tovid is a possibly solution [06:35] oh one other thing. will i have to have the kernel source to compile "madwifi" ? [06:35] amenado, bcm43xx is deprecated for the most part, b43 and b43legacy are much better [06:36] amenado, lol no problems then, ubuntu just seems to love it so lol [06:36] hello, i have a dual monitor setup, nvidia 7600 card running the nvidia drivers, is there a way to have one monitor standard and have the other monitor be rotated 90 degrees? [06:36] i'm in the middle of an ubuntu installation right now, it got to about 90% and then it said "failed to install grub on hd0." the first two partitions on this disk are NTFS with windows on them. if i skip installing grub, my old bootloader should still be there and i can still get into windows and add ubuntu to the bootloader later, right? [06:36] hmmm wonder if i could use another wireless card, maybe it would connect [06:36] bullgard4: it's part of the init scripts that intialize the loopback address ans inet === Male27_ is now known as Male28 === ubuntu is now known as panfist [06:37] amenado, one other easy problem to do with grub [06:37] administrator_-> you'd see a lot of postings on that, broadcom chips is difficult to get working on ubuntu [06:37] can someone tell me what I would have to write in xorg.conf to add the resolution 1366x768 for an LCD tv as my only visual output? [06:37] bastid_raZor: does it have a gui? [06:37] paul_5666; yes [06:37] amenado, when it updated the kernel grub seemed to become hostile, it hasnt got my windows install in menu.lst.. how do i find it? [06:37] ???? [06:37] bastid_raZor: thanks [06:38] psynophile; you should be able to do that in nvidia-settings [06:38] is there any way I can knock a host of my network? [06:38] mbrigdan; wireless network? [06:38] administrator_-> you can type fdisk -l and find out which one is ntfs where I would assume is the windows, then modify your menu.lst to have the windows entry entered === iei is now known as eie [06:38] bastid_raZor: thank you for taking the time to answer my question, but i've tried nvida-settings, and maybe there's something i'm doing wrong, but when i hit the option it rotates both monitors, not just one [06:39] amenado, thanx heaps [06:39] can someone tell me what I would have to write in xorg.conf to add the resolution 1366x768 for an LCD tv as my only visual output? === eie is now known as iei [06:39] administrator_-> no sweat.. [06:39] quick question: how can i install ubuntu core only from the ubuntu desktop cd? [06:39] administrator_ sudo fdisk -l will list all partitions it can find. [06:39] amenado, keep up the good work :) [06:39] DeFirence: You can't. You need the Alternate CD [06:39] Flannel, meh.. that kinda sucks [06:39] bastid_raZor: well, I think they are connecting through wireless but i'm not sure, I just found a host I don't seem to know, so i'm want to kick it off and see if something I own goes down [06:39] ANYONE? === iei is now known as eie [06:40] administrator when you get better, you can come back and assist too :P [06:40] Flannel, is there any net inst or console only iso i can download thats small? [06:40] !nickspam > eie [06:40] eie, please see my private message [06:40] bastid_raZor: where do i acess tovid? [06:40] apparently its just the card, cause i just tried another wifi card and it worked [06:40] DeFirence: Grab the minimal ISO, it's 8MB. You'll still have to download packages though. [06:40] !minimal | DeFirence [06:40] mbrigdan: this would lockout a host using iptables: /sbin/iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --syn -s X.X.X.X/32 -j DROP [06:40] DeFirence: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [06:40] asmo[B] : Any ideas? [06:40] :-< [06:41] 8mb wow [06:41] bastid_raZor: I was going to try matching their MAC address, but that might just screwup my router [06:41] mbrigdan; you could start using MAC filtering which would allow only the mac addess' you add to your router to connect. i do the same thing [06:41] ty Flannel <3 [06:41] DeFirence you could install then remove all non-essential packages and add back anything you want. [06:41] spoo1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [06:41] Agent_bob, kinda a mission :P [06:41] direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) === eie is now known as iei [06:41] spoo1, try gksudo displayconfig-gtk [06:41] what does that mean :-s [06:41] LumpyCam: How does that work? Wouldn't I have to lock out a host using my router? [06:41] amenado, just btw: connection to port 10001 on 192.168.0.99 (eth0), packets get marked and then forwarded to 196.14.172.105:6667 through the ppp connection that the marked packets are routed through [06:41] paul_5666; access? you mean after you've installed it? [06:42] bastid_raZor: yes [06:42] amenado, ignore the ip... [06:42] legend2440, thank you again.... for some reason it will not hold.... [06:42] http://paste.ubuntu.com/28621/ [06:42] mbrigdan: that would be the best way. [06:42] paul_5666; it is listed under applicatiion>sound&video for me [06:42] DeFirence just said it could be done with your disk that's all [06:42] bastid_raZor: MAC filtering isn't really effective, especially since I think this guy might know something, as my network is WPA protected [06:43] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome [06:43] Agent_bob, hehe, thnx though :) [06:43] thats the method i followed [06:43] !iptables [06:43] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [06:43] 9mb iso is 9mb :D [06:43] everything went on in the way it shud have :( [06:43] bastid_raZor: nope =( [06:43] amenado, just a theory question, my grub menu.lst has entries for all diff ubuntu kernels... like 2.6.24-16, 18, 19 [06:44] LumpyCam: I don't want to lock him off my computer, I want to kick him off my network, preferably in a violent, system crashing way. [06:44] amenado, can i get rid of all the ones that arent 19 [06:44] bastid_raZor: any other solutions? [06:44] bastid_raZor: i woudl prefer a GUI [06:44] paul_5666; you can add it to the menus then.. let me find the path [06:44] " 9mb iso is 9mb :D" plus the 400m of packages you'll probably dl [06:44] LumpyCam: Thank you for explaining. [06:44] bastid_raZor: ok then [06:45] Agent_bob, all i want is iptables, ip route and ip rule in vmware :p [06:45] administrator sure, if you dont have use for them, perhaps also remove the corresponding /lib/modules/xxxx-16 18 19 [06:45] Agent_bob, im going into my third week of struggling with a simple routing script so i figure i should prepare... [06:45] paul_5666; tovidgui is the binary .. you can use that to add it .. [06:46] bastid_raZor: so ill aptget that? [06:46] mbrigdan; have you tried changing your password? [06:46] amenado, kk, also how would i add my windows partition... title is easy, root is the same as the linux one, kernel??? what would i do? and initrd??? [06:46] mbrigdan: what type of network and connection does this host have? [06:46] DeFirence heh yeah but this is not debian and surely not gentoo are you sure you have selected the right distro for the job ? just asking. and i'll back out now. [06:46] Right, so I was told I could find help here with an Ubuntu Install I'm trying? [06:46] paul_5666; tovid is the package you will want. [06:46] bastid_raZor: my whole family uses the network. and I don't want to have to switch all the passwords again, given that they are all connected and using it ATM [06:47] administrator_-> root (hd0,0) [06:47] Anybody have experience installing Ubuntu on a VM? [06:47] bastid_raZor: ive got that already and its installed, so how do i get it to open a gui? [06:47] administrator_-> chainloader +1 [06:47] I'm using VirtualBox and I have an ATI graphics card. [06:47] if I mention wine problems here is someone going to just tell me to go to their channel... [06:47] I installed the drivers, but it doesn't seem like they're loaded. [06:47] amenado and? anything else? [06:47] LumpyCam: nmap gives my a best guess that they are using Windows XP SP2, and they must be using wireless, as I have the router in front of me [06:47] paul_5666; in a terminal type tovidgui [06:48] Anyone know anything about installing Ubuntu on a partition already formed? [06:48] Agent_bob, i used to use debian, now im using ubuntu as my desktop but ive been trying to get my simple routing script working for weeks so im moving to a clean install in a virtual machine till i get it working... [06:48] Games are running super slow. [06:48] spoo1: perhaps 1366x768 is not possible with your video card type xrandr in terminal and see what options are [06:48] mbrigdan; if the unknown host has your password then their isn't much you can do except change it.. [06:48] steam keeps crashing [06:48] H3d93 yes [06:48] amenado anything else??? [06:48] mbrigdan; or add mac filtering which would be a wise move. [06:48] administrator_ you can follow that with-> boot # but it's not really needed [06:48] bastid_raZor: it might be something I own though, and just can't figure out [06:48] administrator_-> here is my reference http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm [06:49] mbrigdan: is your router secure, encrypted etc [06:49] mbrigdan; heh, okay then. [06:49] LumpyCam: ues [06:49] LumpyCam: *yes [06:49] H3d93 : could you put your question more precisely ?? [06:49] Alraune, I have a clean 10 GB partition on a windows machine I'm trying to install Ubuntu onto. [06:49] hey guys, what german-english dictionaries are there available for ubuntu? [06:49] hey anyone in here use mythbuntu [06:50] H3d93 : you will run the installer from cd ? [06:50] or know the channel for mythbuntu [06:50] jesse_: #mythbuntu [06:50] wot is mythbuntu? [06:50] sajuuk:ff extension and others [06:50] bastid_raZor: also, MAC addresses are very easily spooffed, mine is currently set to: DE:FA:CE:D0:00:00 :P [06:50] is there a separate channel for hardy? :/ [06:50] ah [06:50] !mythbuntu [06:50] Mythbuntu is an Ubuntu derivative centered upon setting up a standalone MythTV system. See: http://www.mythbuntu.org for more information [06:50] Alraune, Yes, I get to the install and I have to do the manual install, I don't know what to do from there. [06:50] bastid_raZor: thanks mate, working! [06:50] mbrigdan: does the router configuration allow you drop his dhcp lease, or lock his MAC out? change to wpa [06:51] psynophile; actually, i don't see a way to rotate in nvidia-settings. [06:51] my resolution was working proper on 7.04. but its not working on 8 :( [06:51] is anyone familiar w/ lirc.. i forget the command to view active output of lirc to see whether or not tis seeing my signals [06:51] mbrig, change your encryption to wpa [06:51] wep's can be cracked in five minutes [06:51] LumpyCam: I am using WPA, i'll see if I can drop him. Also: would a flood of large pings do anything? [06:51] H3d93 : don't install from within windows. After the installer came up, one of the first things you'll be asked.. [06:51] everytime i boot, its askin me to select a video driver :-< [06:52] amenado, wow, also, how do u add a grub password...? [06:52] mbrigdan; i do not know of a way to kick someone off your network unless you prevent them from connecting to it. [06:52] can anyone point me to a good how-to for grub installation [06:52] amenado, infact dw [06:52] !grub [06:52] 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 [06:52] and its selecting a driver named 'vesa' by default :| [06:52] amenado, ive asked u far too much for one day lol [06:52] paul_5666; glad i could help. [06:52] mbrigdan, can you briefly restate whats happening? [06:52] H3d93 : is about partiton. There you can select manual and then your free 10g. [06:52] administrator_-> i reference that link for anything related to grub..password should be there noh [06:52] ? [06:53] legend2440, will that be the same since its a tv not a regular monitor? [06:53] mbrigdan: change your key and reboot the router [06:53] bastid_raZor: whats the difference between mpeg2enc and ffmpeg encoding? [06:53] Alraune, This is on the Live Cd's menu? I hit install and I can select the blank 10GB Partition?

[08:44] wols: ok, sorry. [08:45] MooCow: copy the infobot to /usr/local/bin and you can run it from everywhere [08:45] how do i run it from everywhere [08:45] so i could type infobot [08:45] I just told you [08:45] and it would run? [08:45] greenmanwitch not very fast, but its happening [08:45] philip: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/email-services.html [08:45] ok i'll check this out, thank you [08:46] MooCow: Why do you want to do that? [08:46] * jepes double checks partition before formatting,6 partitions al in all, might accidentally delete my data drive. [08:46] MooCow you could use your xchat (or other irc client you are talinig on) and input /exec -o /home/michael/Desktop/newbloot/trunk/infobot [08:46] MooCow: If its running once, it's not like you'll need to call it a whole lot [08:46] TO make it launch at startup [08:46] !bum | MooCow [08:46] MooCow: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [08:46] MooCow: Please read that [08:46] MooCow: that won't help with launching at startup btw [08:47] Flannel: that won't help him (much) he'd run this infobot with root priviledges. not a good thing [08:47] ljsoftnet: more people are switching to vista than to linux.. [08:47] wols: Depends on the bot. Just like other services, some of them set their users to other users.

[08:48] ok so i have a little progress on my wireless, i have the correct driver installed, but i'm not seeing any wireless networks in wicd [08:48] bullgard4 "consolechars" maybe [08:48] i try to install the alsa-driver, but cannot find it with synaptic [08:49] ok [08:49] !night [08:49] It's the middle of the night in the US and Europe, and surrounds. This means that a lot of people are likely asleep, therefore there are less potential people who can answer your question. Please be patient, and consider asking at a time when more people will be awake. This is particularly true in the quieter channels. [08:49] ./ [08:49] bullgard4 you might boot with different rez [08:49] CoolTrainer_Doug, sudo iwlist interface scan? (ie. interface = wlan0) [08:49] That must be before the app. Or it does not work. [08:49] Agent_bob: I may not. [08:49] ./infobot === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [08:50] MooCow, Because since infobot is NOT in any of your PATH locations, you must specify it's full path. [08:50] Ok [08:50] MooCow, so ./ == Current Directory [08:50] just got a bit of a problem when trying to play an IPX game. I cant see other players [08:50] MooCow: to get it to run from anywhere, move it to ~/bin but that isn't going to solve your problem. [08:50] where is a path locatioN! [08:50] MooCow: do what Flannel just told you [08:51] Ahadiel: The thing is, when I run a lshw -c network it doesn't show an interface for my wireless [08:51] might i point out that /usr/local/bin would be more suited [08:51] CoolTrainer_Doug, iwconfig? [08:51] it says no wireless extensions for all three [08:51] or even ln -s /path/to/infobot /usr/bin/ [08:51] Agent_bob: Than ~/bin? [08:51] greenmanwitch it doesn't matter once they know, that a lot of poeple hate microsoft they probably switch to linux or mac [08:51] Flannel no. than /bin [08:51] CoolTrainer_Doug, What wireless card do you have? [08:52] Agent_bob: /bin is flat wrong [08:52] Agent_bob: he said ~/bin big difference [08:52] Flannel that's why i pointed. [08:52] Aironet Cisco Wireless is all it says when I run an lspci, Ahadiel [08:52] Ok. [08:52] CoolTrainer_Doug, well, if iwconfig doesn't say it has "wireless extensions", then the drivers aren't installed. [08:52] If i put it in bin, how would i launch it? [08:52] what does ".cpp=.o" mean in a makefile?

[08:54] CoolTrainer_Doug: which? [08:54] wols: do you mean ".cpp.o" or ".cpp=.o", I see both in a sample makefile... [08:54] Ahadiel: I dunno if he even HAD airo.ko so I checked [08:54] rustychicken: they both mean the same IIRC [08:54] Window-stuff seems slow to me on kubuntu with kde4.1 rc1. Like changing desktops, open/close of new windows. Is optimization on of the focuspoints towards the 4.1 release? [08:54] rustychicken: but that's no ubuntu support question is it?

[09:34] nikolam: yes, and/or contact the package maintainer [09:35] OK [09:35] rocko, you odnt have to download anything, you just edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst and add 'vga=#' at the end of the kernel line [09:36] Flannel, In meantime I compiled *deb`s from Debian Iceape source. Should I use that until it lands on repo? [09:37] Can someone plz help I have a disk that keeps mounting on my ubuntu, but all it's properities are unknown and you can't open it or umount it without doing it through terminal with 'gksudo'...

[09:45] so what did you do when you ran reconfigure? [09:46] i am about to install kubuntu to my acer laptop model 5570Z anyone have any warnings i should watch out for? [09:46] kcma2: it probably has broadcomm wireless [09:46] kcma2: other warning, kubuntus ucks..lol [09:46] indygunfreak you think so [09:47] indygunfreak i have an ubuntu and kubuntu laptop so i would pretty much be set [09:47] kcma2: its personal experience of course, i find Kubuntu(and KDE in general), slow to the point of unuseable. [09:47] i could never use Kubuntu, but if you like it, thats your biz [09:48] kcma2: do you know what wireless device that laptop has? [09:48] indygunfreak the only issues i am having about jumping into linux soully is that i use a lot of gaming apps and i dont want to not beable to use them you know what i mean? [09:48] kcma2: i don't game, but yes, i know what you mean [09:48] indygunfreak no but i could get that info before i start i guess it has vista on it now and is having some major memory issues and i am sure that it is nothing but the OS doing it [09:49] IndyGunFreak: I just ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg again and it never mentions video card or graphics, just keyboard essentially [09:49] <[mando]> Hi. What does it mean when you try to ping a site, and you get a reply from localhost? [09:49] kcma2: yeah, but the live CD, and run lspci and see what the devices are... that will be a start.. [09:49] IndyGunFreak: Also in the config there are no entries for video resolutions or any mention of video stuff [09:50] IndyGunFreak: There was one line that said "Dude, its a dHell" jk === ubuntite3285 is now known as CoCoNuTz [09:50] someone using antivirus ? [09:50] indygunfreak that is the best idea i have had for this process so far [09:51] indygunfreak thanks [09:51] anrtivirus programs ? [09:51] no prob.. that will at least let you know what your up against. [09:51] firefox: someone, somewhere [09:51] Smegzor: it enver asked you to configure a graphics device, or set resolutions? [09:51] I'm using antivirus :P To keep scan a dual booting XP [09:51] IndyGunFreak: nope [09:51] firefox: they are out there... but really not necessary, unless you're wanting to scan files to protect a windows computer [09:52] !antivirus | firefox [09:52] firefox: antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus === mech_away is now known as Mechdave [09:52] cool [09:52] n o virus [09:52] Smegzor: very unusual.

Linux viruses are out there, but there aern't very many, and you generally have to be retarded enough to run them as root for them to do something really destructive [09:53] IndyGunFreak: right [09:53] can i install kde3 and kde4 both?, there is already gnome. [09:54] ls /var/spool/clamsmtp/ | wc -l [09:54] 6361 [09:54] lots and lots of windows mail viriuses :) [09:54] qdb__, try sudo tasksel [09:54] With Linux viruses its worth while knowing how to set you hids and the like up for linux. clamav is kinda handy so you don't forward windows email viruses to people getting you in there bad books. [09:55] Yes virus scanner on linux is more about protecting near by windows users. [09:56] cEmx why are you pinging me? [09:56] oiaohm: if i forward a virus to a windows user on accident, i tell them its their fault for not listening to me.

[10:28] IndyGunFreak: I'm trying to figure out why devede is producing low bitrate output video that looks bad on my DVD player. I think it may be due to crippling, and I want to find out for sure. [10:29] although matroska and flash don't run that well - i would consider it crippled [10:29] erpo: i doubt its do to crippeling, what are you using to watch DVDs? [10:29] IndyGunFreak: My set top dvd player. [10:29] erpo: oh ok.. i'm not real sre on that [10:29] IndyGunFreak: And I know for a fact that it's not obeying the output video bitrate settings.

[10:39] cheers [10:39] bazhang: from their repos. [10:39] I tried many sources, giving same error [10:39] now i've got to work out how to search it [10:39] I even tried the main server, and the U.S server also [10:39] wamty, that came standard with your install or you added it [10:40] My isp just swapped from their own crappy news groups to giving us free giganews access, which is pretty cool [10:40] IndyGunFreak, Hello [10:41] OsamaK: run lspci on the pc that doesn't work, and tell me ho it identifies your ethernet controller, adn you're wireless device. [10:41] http://pastebin.ca/1077426 [10:41] whats the esiest way to set up an ftp in ubuntu =? [10:41] bazhang, that the whole error [10:41] wamty, standard or you added it [10:41] IndyGunFreak, So, skip live cd boot? [10:41] JuzzyD, i use usenet heavy, pan can handle it very well, in fact, it's the best news reader i have ever used [10:41] OsamaK: no, you'll have to do it from the live CD... how else are you going tod o it? [10:42] bazhang: I was using the main server source, but it gave this error, so I changed to other source, also the same, and now the same [10:42] How do i search for an article without having to download every header of every group? [10:42] bazhang: been like this for a week [10:42] IndyGunFreak, Is 'lspci' a command? Where should I use it? [10:42] wamty, how did you get that source; please pastebin complete sources.list to paste.ubuntu.com [10:43] OsamaK, terminal [10:43] OsamaK: yes its a command, put it in a terminal,(applications/accessories/terminal), its gonna spit out a ton of crap on your PC's devices, you need to see exactly how it is identifying your network controller. [10:43] Hey. I'm trying to use the UDP functionality of netcat to test an UDP server I wrote. Because the server deals with a lot of binary data (that is byte values below 0x20 and even the NUL character), I need some way to enter those values, too. How can I do that? And the fact that I have to hit enter sending a new line feed (0x0A) everytime I want a datagram to be sent is also annoying. Any suggestions on how to avoid this? [10:43] IndyGunFreak, I have already Ubuntuu installed on my computer.. [10:43] OsamaK: ok, so you don't need to do it from a live dd [10:43] *cd [10:44] ok :) [10:44] OsamaK: go to app/accessories/terminal and type "lspci" no quotes, then hit enter. [10:44] JuzzyD, you could use nzb's and use hellanzb, witch is another excellent way go use usenet [10:44] I NEED SOME HELP PLASE I just finish to install gutsy and after usplash finishes, my computer stop at : Running local boot scripts .........ok [10:44] hey, i've recently upgraded to hardy but now half of my plug-n-plays don't work, how can i roll back to gutsy? [10:44] OsamaK: look for a couple of lines, similar to this... 06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) [10:44] roxygirl, fresh install [10:45] maybe not that exact device, but that gives you an idea what you're looking for. [10:45] Thanks butterz. [10:45] bazhang: for real? arghhh. is there an easy backup tool then? rather then just copying my important docs? [10:45] bazhang: I went to Administration > Software Sources > and chosen one from there [10:46] bazhang: here is my sources.list http://www.pastebin.ca/1077430 [10:46] JuzzyD, but i like downloading em all so i can see what's out there. i use hellanzb with lottanzb for a gui [10:47] Cheers, I don't get a lot of bandwidth cause I'm an Australian unfortunately. [10:47] no one? [10:47] owner, try removing quiet splash from your kernel boot line (might give a better error message) [10:47] bazhang: ? [10:47] JuzzyD, you can find nzb's out there at newzbin i think, and grab that way using hellanzb [10:47] So it makes downloading all the headers kind of inefficient when I get only 20gb per month. [10:47] how do i do that? [10:48] wamty does sudo apt-get upgrade give you any new packages to install [10:49] owner, press e when at the grub boot menu or edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [10:49] ok [10:49] hi. i'm trying to install ubuntu but i do not understand this swap thing. can anyone explayn it to me? [10:49] JuzzyD, yea, that sucs - 20 gig aint that much, especially if they are counting header download. you can get on good newsservers for under $15 though if you look around. [10:49] bazhang: yea, lots of it says unauthenticated [10:49] !swap | marius___ [10:49] marius___: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [10:50] bazhang: I have changed the source again now and updating \ [10:50] wamty, that happens here from time to time [10:50] IndyGunFreak, http://paste.ubuntu.com/28674/ [10:50] Nah thats what my ISP gives me all up, not just usenet. It's all I get for a whole month full stop. [10:50] IndyGunFreak, This is all [10:50] wamty, you can either try again later or just ignore (which is what I do) [10:50] bazhang: what should I do? and why does it happen? [10:50] Including all updated and everything else. We're so behind in Australia! [10:51] why does it happen? [10:51] OsamaK: you should be able to get your intel wireless device working fairly easily(most work out of the box), but I'm not that familiar w/ intel wireless.. [10:51] i've always sued atheros and madwifi [10:51] wamty, bazhang : I usually try again later :) [10:51] wamty, the authentication does not get dl'd so it thinks its a suspect package (server issue likely in this case) [10:51] Aha.. no it's not that big deal, eh? === ForsakenSoul|Zzz is now known as ForsakenSoul [10:52] not really [10:52] JuzzyD, that sucks megadildoes! i can do that in a week without trying :P [10:52] wamty, nope, no bid deal [10:52] IndyGunFreak, Now, I don't have a wireless connection, but I cannot even use wire one.. [10:52] big^ [10:52] how do i get wirle support in unbuntu [10:52] wireless card [10:52] OsamaK: because it can't identify the device.. look in LSPCI, it tells you right there, "unknown device" [10:52] !ask | owner [10:52] owner: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [10:52] Hey all, im having some real issues with my ATI Radeon IGP 345M, im pretty new to ubuntu. Is there anyone who can help me ? [10:52] if at all possible [10:52] !wifi | owner [10:52] owner: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [10:52] bazhang: the authentication is not that big deal, but the update thingy, will it be solved? [10:53] OsamaK: do you not have wireless access in your home? [10:53] ok, next q...how can i log in as root? but not from the shell, so that i can have privleges to remove stuff from my phone card? [10:53] IndyGunFreak, In my home, but not there.. ;) [10:53] ty [10:53] wamty, the failed to fetch one? just usually fixes itself as I have seen [10:53] (using rhythmbox) [10:53] muntrue_, be more clear... ask the question directly [10:53] owner, I thought you couldn't even boot and now you are asking about wireless? [10:53] OsamaK: well, your best bet is to get your wireless working... [10:53] roxygirl, never ever log in as root [10:54] well thats the whole idea [10:54] butterz, tell me about it. When I move I think i'm going unlimited bandwidth. [10:54] i will be using it wirles [10:54] so if i have 768 MB ram and i select Guided partion with encrypted LVM, can you explain me why in the havens is making the swap partion of _5 GB_?? on the link you gave me it says 2*n MB but 5 GB is not 2*768 MB... [10:54] At a blistering 512/512 down/up stream [10:54] owner, to trouble shoot wireless you need a working system to troubleshoot on [10:54] bazhang: thanks [10:54] :) [10:54] np [10:54] My ATI card does not seem to have the right drivers, the refresh rate of everything is extremely slow. I think it is using the vesa driver. Ive had these issues before and switched back to XP. I really want to use ubuntu but its hardly managable now. [10:55] bazhang: well here's what happens. i delete files from my phone card, either through rhythmbox or nautilus. then i go to double check the trash and i try and delete it from there (otherwise it's just taking uyp memory) and it removes it only to spit it right back there again [10:55] * IndyGunFreak has found the new version of opera sucks, it pushes my processes used to 100%... [10:55] is there a free equiv of newzbin? [10:55] b4 i breack my bacj]k trying to get to work i wanted to find out if it will serve my purpose to begin with [10:55] bazhang: not a user issue? [10:55] JuzzyD, i am in the us states, and we are behind also - we don't have alot of isp's to choose from with high bandwidth [10:55] roxygirl, you delete stuff from phone and then want to empty trash? to free up space on the phone? then use sudo to delete those files [10:56] roxygirl, after you delete the files unmount the drive and then again mount it :) [10:56] My ATI card does not seem to have the right drivers, the refresh rate of everything is extremely slow. I think it is using the vesa driver. Ive had these issues before and switched back to XP. I really want to use ubuntu but its hardly managable now. Anyone that can help me with this ?

BTW, I may use un-free drivers if that requested.. [10:58] muntrue_, have you looked under restricted drivers? and nothing there? [10:58] butterz, Yep. nothing is there [10:58] OsamaK: i have no clue.. never saw that device, and like i said, its coming up unknown, so there's obviously not kernel level support for it... gonna be hard to find a driver for it when you don't even know what the device is [10:58] desktop pc === dns53 is now known as dns54 [10:58] and a logitech usb mouse [10:59] so many people [10:59] IndyGunFreak, I have windwos vista, as written, and I can get driver name..

[11:00] Kate_Mins you can use "telnet " to check if it is open/reachable or closed [11:00] muntrue_, hardware drivers i mean - that must be a real new card huh? i would try googling around - try changing xorg to ati or radeon until you find something [11:00] hello how can i get xvid file to work in Ubuntu 8.04? [11:00] ? [11:00] taomaster, use vlc? [11:00] butterz: i don't think ATI ever shows up in hardware drivers (at least to my knowledge) [11:01] butterz, No not at all a new card. It is pretty old. I have searched many forums but no real answers. Im pretty new to ubuntu so im not sure what to do [11:01] butterz, From the looks of Xorg.conf it looks like there is no driver used at all.

[13:18] Abed, can you paste the tutorial's address here... and for doing the thing you did swap should be mounted in /mnt [13:18] iCEifer It only uses it if needed. most of the time it will not [13:18] LhiQuer: when you create the partition you can select partition type "linux swap" or somethingh like that.. [13:19] Jack_Sparrow, that's what I thought. thanks [13:19] LhiQuer: or if it's the file system... I can't really remember [13:19] np [13:19] arvind_khadri:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [13:19] Slart, i know, and i have it, it just doesnt detect it [13:19] LhiQuer: try using swapon [13:20] Slart: it didnt add it [13:20] LhiQuer: man swapon for syntax [13:20] Abed, hang on while i check that [13:20] jc-denton: is the kernel properly installed? no errors or such?

[13:21] Slart: sure [13:21] starbucki: sudo apt-get install --reinstall samba might fix it [13:21] starbucki, reinstall all the samba packages you have installed on your system [13:22] is there a way to lock the keyboard but without activating the screensaver or anything ? [13:22] cemc How would you get back in [13:22] cemc quit ubuntu, and select lock screen [13:22] Jack_Sparrow: with a key combination [13:22] is there a way to kill a frozen x-server? [13:23] without a second remote connected machine [13:23] i tried to reinstall, with a previous apt-get remoe --purge... but now i have the problem that nmbd wont start:Starting Samba daemons: nmbd failed! invoke-rc.d: initscript samba, action "start" failed.

[13:33] x-session-manager error while loading shared libraries" libsound.so.2 [13:33] because there isnt another way... your computer is frozen, end of [13:33] Jack_Sparrow, you type like lightning fast :D [13:33] LhiQuer, x works, it just sometimes freezes [13:33] LhiQuer, because of the crappy intel video drivers [13:33] arvind_khadri copy and pste from crib notes [13:34] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [13:34] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [13:34] I tried the realtek also driver install and after reboot X has this problem [13:34] LhiQuer, no matter if compiz activated or not or what i am doing [13:34] LhiQuer, sometimes it immediately freezes [13:34] erle-, so waht exactly are you looking for? [13:34] soldieruk400: well.. did you? [13:34] soldieruk400 Run that command in a terminal [13:34] Jack_Sparrow, you should never let out your secret tips :) ;) [13:34] like i said lol im new [13:34] Jack_Sparrow: let me try this thanks much :) [13:34] i havnt got a clew what to do lol [13:34] arvind_khadri people can grep the logs and find them all [13:34] LhiQuer, i just wanted to know if someone else knows a special key combination or something that i did not know [13:35] soldieruk400: hehe.. ok.. it tells you to run a command.. so let's do it.. open a terminal (it's in accessories) [13:35] LhiQuer, thats all [13:35] soldieruk400 applications, accessories open a terminal.. [13:35] soldieruk400: (and put sudo before the command) [13:35] erle-, if your keyboard doesnt work, you cant use a key combination [13:35] !gdm [13:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about gdm [13:35] LhiQuer, thank you for your time, now i know its not that easy [13:35] soldieruk400 applications, accessories open a terminal.. type dpkg --configure -a then enter [13:35] LhiQuer, not every key is dead [13:35] Jack_Sparrow, i really didnt know that... thanks a lot... [13:35] Does anybody know how to hide the handles on each end of the gnome-panel? I have a transparent panel that is not full width. [13:35] ubottu, Google my friend, google! [13:35] LaNCeloT_RW: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:35] erle-, which ones work? [13:35] music is still playing, thats another sign for a living system, LhiQuer [13:35] Rorschach: Did you see the problem description? [13:35] ubottu, LOL... ok I give up [13:35] LhiQuer, numlock for example [13:35] LaNCeloT_RW: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:35] soldieruk400: then just type that command.. but with a sudo in front.. so "sudo dpkg --configure -a" [13:35] arvind_khadri:it says i have no space left in dev so how can i enlarge it ???? [13:36] ok cool ill give it a go ty [13:36] Slart: [13:36] LhiQuer, numlock directly interacts with the kernel [13:36] soldieruk400: let us know if it doesn't get rid of the message [13:36] erle-, that is different [13:36] Cobolt: yes but you need to give more infos [13:36] it seems to work now [13:36] jc-denton: yes? [13:36] erle-, it doesnt [13:36] jc-denton: ah.. nice [13:36] no idea why i got a blank screen before [13:36] erle-, you can use numlock in BIOS [13:36] Abed, /dev are device files... all the devices in Linux are treated as files [13:36] i will do [13:36] erle-, numlock is entirely controlled by the keyboarrd [13:36] !aptfix > soldieruk400 [13:36] soldieruk400, please see my private message [13:36] jc-denton: computers are far from predictable and logical =) [13:37] LhiQuer, it is not [13:37] Rorschach: what else can I tell you? That's the error that X gives [13:37] arvind_khadri: i have 500MB of dev [13:37] well xorg at least not [13:37] can i expand it? [13:37] even suspend worked [13:37] ljsoftnet: I don't think it is.. at least not on my keyboard.. it's software controlled [13:37] Rorschach: Can you give me an example? [13:37] but i guess it will crash at some point [13:37] Abed, you cant expand it... [13:37] LhiQuer, you can freely use the keyboard LEDs like you wish [13:37] it is controlled by the operating system, LhiQuer [13:37] arvind_khadri:even I reinstalled it? [13:37] Abed, you can exapnd only swap thats it [13:37] erle-, so how come i can use them in BIOS? [13:37] Cobolt: where does this libsound.2.so derrive from? [13:37] music is alive and ssh connection is possible, that is a proof for a living syste [13:37] LhiQuer: because the BIOS can control them too? [13:38] LhiQuer, bios does that, too [13:38] Cobolt: try removing the driver again [13:38] erle-, numlock has no significance in matters like this [13:38] if i put just a power source to a keyboard, i can use numlock [13:38] Rorschach: I can only login to terminal and I'm a little lost. I've got a directory where the file was I think. [13:38] Slart: what do you mean? [13:39] LhiQuer, my problem is that i have a laptop machine and i cannot connect with ssh everywhere to kill x [13:39] well thx for help [13:39] and sometimes i can not reset the machine [13:39] ljsoftnet: huh? [13:39] because of important data [13:39] ljsoftnet: bah.. sorry.. wrong person [13:39] erle-, so its a driver problem? [13:39] Slart: ok [13:39] LhiQuer, it does, because numlock is a sign if your kernel lives [13:39] Jack_Sparrow: wow, works thanks [13:39] :] [13:39] erle-, IT IS NOT [13:39] LhiQuer, yeah, but it is not a bug, it is crappy engineering [13:40] Anyone know much about enabling folder shares? [13:40] LhiQuer, unfixable [13:40] LhiQuer, kernel != xserver [13:40] erle-, , kernel != xserver [13:40] i know [13:40] blogger glad to help [13:40] Abed, the man pages of mkswap doesnt mention /mnt [13:41] !anyone | Gimpymoo [13:41] Gimpymoo: 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? [13:41] When trying to share a folder, receiver saying dont have permissions [13:41] erle-, have you bothered to check the error logs? [13:41] LhiQuer, if x freezes and you want to know if your kernel lives, numlock is a little test to find out [13:41] of cause it is no proof [13:41] but its a quick first test [13:41] erle-, SO WHAT IF YOUR KERNEL IS RUNNING??? [13:42] it doesnt m-a-t-t-e-r [13:42] you need xserver to not freeze [13:42] Error 255 [13:42] LhiQuer, it does, because the kernel gets keyboard signals first [13:42] he sends it to the x server [13:42] erle- I can put +5v and gnd to a keyboard and get the leds to toglle without a pc [13:42] but he could check before, what user is typing, LhiQuer [13:42] Rorschach: It seems to be a shared library that the driver installer may have removed that X needs to start a session. [13:42] erle-, THAT MEANS NOTHING [13:42] why shout ? [13:43] simNIX, trying to prove a very simple point [13:43] erle- You need to go ask in server... thanks [13:43] Gimpymoo, check the permissions of the file/folder you are sharing [13:43] LhiQuer, you can not say that for sure [13:43] erle-, £10 on it [13:45] Rorschach: Is there a way of restoring my sound drivers to default maybe?

I can't afford to let this PC stay like this. I was trying to get the drivers installed for a friend.

[13:53] Slart, sorry I means nonfree is installed [13:54] Slart and Jack_Sparrow: if it helps, when I go to citicards.com I get a huge white box also.... and that is from the main page, so u can all see it too [13:54] Abed, ya you can do that ... but it would just increase the size of the partitions that /dev has .. [13:54] Siph0n: ah.. hmm.. then I don't really know what to do.. you could get some kind of flash blocking plugin to stop it from ever showing up.. [13:54] T_T [13:54] I right click the white box and it mentions Adobe Flash, so I am just assuming that is the problem [13:55] T_T [13:55] arvind_khadri:the size of the partition is 54GB which is half the HDD [13:55] Abed, if you want better performance or something go for more RAM [13:55] Does anyone know if anything needs to be installed to share folders with a vista-machine?

I'm having trouble installing git4cf-automator, which I've understood is needed to install Compiz? [13:56] @Jack_Sparrow, my question is... is it possible for hackers to take down my ubuntu system? or put keyloggers [13:56] Abed, how much RAM and swap do you have if any [13:56] Jack_Sparrow, still waiting. how do i run the alsa-info script? Is it in a directory on the machine or do i need to get it? [13:56] Cobolt you need to get it [13:56] arvind_khadri:ram 1024 swap i dunno how to know? [13:57] Jack_Sparrow: thanks =) [13:57] Jack_Sparrow, sorry, i did not want to bug anyone, i just hoped for a answer, but i think there is no simple one [13:57] shishio very unlikely.. but you would need to be more specific [13:57] Slart, do you remember the name? I'm not running Gnome, but the Ubuntu Mobile desktop, but it should work anyway, shouldn't it? [13:57] Rosen np [13:57] Abed, ok... just hang on [13:57] ok [13:57] @Jack_Sparrow, i lost my msn account... i was wondering how i lost it [13:57] how do I use the Terminal to run a specific file? [13:58] markqvist: I don't really know.. it was on my laptop.. I'm using my desktop now [13:58] @Jack_Sparrow, im using ubuntu btw [13:58] shishio were you running amsn or were you under wine? [13:58] mefiboset: what kind of file are you trying to run ? What's the filename ? [13:58] @Jack_Sparrow, running under pidgin [13:58] markqvist: but it was in the repos.. I guess a decent search should do it [13:59] kynanci: they have the file-ending pyc [13:59] Slart: Hmm... I'll do some poking around then.. It would be nicer though, if i could just setup xorg.conf so it would be that way permanently [13:59] Is this the place for a newbie to get some help? [13:59] go ahead pobbel [13:59] shishio I dont use msn.. but It is very unlikely that someone hacked you unless you make a habit of running programs from people you dont know [13:59] pobbel Sure, just ask your question. [13:59] mefiboset: pyc ? isn't that precompiled (cached) python libraries ? [14:00] markqvist: indeed... there might even be a way.. I didn't do a lot of reasearch once I found something that worked [14:00] @Jack_Sparrow u know where would i go if i want my msn account back? coz i want it back [14:00] well, I'm quite the newbie at this so :P [14:00] Abed, is it a fresh install of 8.04?? [14:00] somebody who knows how to install my acer szw 3300v scanner? [14:00] arvind_khadri:wut u mean by fresh?

[14:00] Abed, i mean is it a clean install ... or did you upgrade it? [14:01] mefiboset: it is. You don't run them. For compiz, follow ubottu's link : [14:01] neline: scanners and linux is a sad sad story.. try sane .. check their site to see if the scanner is compatible first [14:01] !compiz | mefiboset [14:01] mefiboset: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [14:01] no i was running live cd then i installed it [14:01] @Jack_Sparrow idk, im fully updated [14:01] Slart: Thanks for the help anyway! [14:01] Abed, ok so were you asked to add some swap? [14:01] markqvist: you're welcome [14:01] neline See if xsane recognizes it. If not, you will havbe an uphill battle to get it going [14:01] help.ubuntu.com [14:01] it recognizes it [14:01] shishio That is not what I asked [14:01] but that's all [14:02] aha sorry! this is my third day playing with Ubuntu, excuse me :P [14:02] @Jack_Sparrow Pidgin 2.4.1 [14:02] shishio thanks [14:02] mefiboset: mmh, the link ubottu gave is not that great. So, I think, for compiz, it should be somewhere like preferences -> appearance -> desktop effects [14:03] Jack_Sparrow, I've got the alsa script using wget but where would it be saved to by default? tried running it from desktop. [14:03] neline: So it recognizes your scanner, but thats all? Where are you stuck at? [14:03] @Jack_Sparrow T_T [14:03] mefiboset: (something like that) [14:03] uhm [14:03] i'll let you see [14:03] Cool, I have been trying to get my wifi autoconnecting using ndiswrapper. It was working but had to manually connect every time. I tried a new version of ndiswrapper, and nothing worked so I reverted back to the original ndiswrapper (that is listed with ubuntu hardy) but now it does not work at all. I am getting "FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found." after entering "modprobe ndiswrapper". Any ideas?

[14:04] can someone help me, I have to reintroduce wifi connection data on every startup, do anybody know any solution? [14:05] Jack_Sparrow, will i ever get my msn account back there? what about my pidgin, is it safe? [14:05] anybody knows? [14:05] shishio that is a different question [14:05] shishio: sounds like you should contact msn then.. I suppose they could help you getting your account back [14:05] pidgin is safe for me [14:05] it already has an alias in etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper [14:05] but i dunno [14:05] shishio if someone figured out your password they you wont get it back if they changed it [14:05] neline: What happens if you try as root? [14:05] Abed, your problem for me seems to be with the player not swap space... but its better to ask someone who knows it for sure [14:05] shishio create a second account and watch for activity with your user name [14:06] @Slart how to contact them [14:06] shishio: by the phone? or email? [14:06] @Slart by email would do [14:06] how do you mean that exact? [14:06] shishio: but this is !ot here.. [14:06] ok thnx arvind_khadri [14:06] how to do it in root? [14:06] sudo is for root [14:06] pobbel: ndiswrapper's module is provided by linux-ubuntu-modules-*. So i suggest you force reinstall this package if you've deleted ndiswrapper.ko by mistake. [14:06] but which command? [14:07] Abed, welcome.... but sorry couldnt be of much help [14:07] arvind_khadri:np [14:07] @Jack_Sparrow, u have any idea how to know ur alternative email? i didnt put any at my email [14:07] neline: open a terminal and type "sudo xsane" [14:07] Abed, and thanks for telling me the address that page needs a lot of correction :D [14:08] Jack_Sparrow, i have finally found a solution, maybe you are interested [14:08] hehe np [14:08] Jack_Sparrow, http://lxr.linux.no/linux/Documentation/sysrq.txt [14:08] neline: I did a bit of googling and it is possible it could be a permission issue with the device.

[14:11] neline: Well at this point. It is a firmware issue for that scanner you have. [14:12] I need to add some applications to the desktop, and remove some of the ones i don't need [14:12] perhaps [14:12] markqvist I would assume the mobile version has a support room somewhere [14:12] I need to start "sudo ifup eth0" every time computer started also without login.

Thanks jpds [14:13] neline: From the information I have gathered here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=20453 - You need to edit the file in /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf and about the 5'th line, you need to change the path (directory) from whatever it is to wherever your scanner's firmware is located.

I need to work some perks out regarding resolutions and connectivity to TV via HDMI [15:12] if I understand the question you are asking of the purpose of the pk12, its because the people are tired of clicking certification all the time, and the firefox 3 is too buggy and doesn't support all the extensions, on the ff1.5 till 2.0016 you can permanently accept the untrusted certifications, the only way to do it if you have generated pk12 and manually import it to firefox or any other browser, mail client that support it [15:12] alraune: np :) [15:12] kyncani: I am back up on wifi thank you very much.

[15:13] harpreet; you could format that partition to ext3 and use it that way.. probably not the best idea to resize partitions after the fact. it can be dangerous [15:13] Johnramb00: mhh. crap. But thanks for the info [15:13] that is what ubunu's network manager is supposed to do [15:14] Johnramb00 try sudo apt-get install wlassistant . and try wlassistant to see if you can connect [15:14] Hello½!! i have a questin: is there a way to netinstall ubuntu from the cdrom, similar to fedoras "askmeth" option ???

[16:48] olleorama: is that the only sound that comes out scratchy like tha?(flash video sounsd ok?) [16:48] pallu you should install it under terminalk [16:48] seems an alsa issue [16:48] ok [16:48] flash okay [16:48] hadouken: How do I terminate my screensaver-window?

[16:49] Indy [16:50] olleorama: i have no logical explanation for your problems, are you sure its not the quality of the files? [16:50] mefi: open terminal, type "ps aux", find the line that looks like a screensaver prgram (gnome-screensaver etc), get its PID from PID column [16:50] mefi : looks good, close gedit, terminal :sudo apt-get upgrade [16:50] tolong aku pengin instal windows vista di ubuntu [16:50] aaah... i can remember when i used to use dapper drake [16:50] IndyGunfreak; maybe if all my files are bad, and my girlfriends too [16:50] I have a drive thats not really a drive that keeps getting mounted. How can I get rid of it? [16:50] LhiQuer Ah.. Dapper, that was a good release [16:51] LhiQuer Badger was a bit rough [16:51] Jack_Sparrow, didnt it have a lot of backend improvements? [16:51] IndyGunfreak; could be different with OSS instead of ALSA? [16:51] olleorama: could be, but it would likely be worse w/ OSS as opposed to Alsa. [16:51] LhiQuer did that tutorial work for you [16:51] fwaokda-> a drive that is not a drive? when you type in terminal mount, what do you get? [16:52] Jack_Sparrow, yeah [16:52] Great.. [16:52] olleorama: you could try using the oss proprietary drivers [16:52] damn this gnome things just ruins everything [16:52] LhiQuer I should post that somewhere for others [16:52] guys I updated my systen yesterday to a new kernel using the update manager... [16:52] yeah [16:52] what a shame one can not configure a music player to use a specific soundcard [16:52] alraune: done [16:52] mefi : did you install any additional soft, as not from the ubu-repos (e.g.hardwaredrivers, updates directly from appps?) [16:52] amenado, one second i'll post it in pastebin. [16:52] after that I have problems gettin back the nvidia drivers back [16:52] jazzkutya: what makes you think you cant? [16:53] hadouken: could not get a file descriptor referring to the console [16:53] amenado, http://pastebin.com/m717312b2 [16:53] how can I get the nvidia drivers back in the Hardware drivers tool? [16:53] hey all.....upgrade to Hardy seems to be just chilling on "Configuring locales" for a while now...........is this normal? [16:53] jeez, the %$£"ing nvidia drivers [16:53] IndyGunFreak: no traces of it in edit/preferences and edit/plugins, and no answer here to my question [16:53] mefi: "sudo -s" first sorry [16:53] mefi: you gotta be root [16:53] amenado, the one I'm talking about is... /media/disk-1 [16:53] alraune: hmm... well, I might have [16:53] jazzkutya: that doesn't mean its not possible. [16:53] TSchultz55: Yeah, for a little while. [16:53] hadouken: be root? [16:53] LhiQuer: you have problems with the nvidia drivers too? [16:53] berntsen: it DOES take awhile? [16:53] mefi: yes, type "sudo -s" first [16:54] fwaokda-> what about it? is it a usb stick? [16:54] killaz, i did [16:54] do a reboot then and watch the screen at bootuptime for errormessages, I will still wait here, but so far I'm up, type : reboot [16:54] killaz, easiest is to just reinstall [16:54] LhiQuer: HOW? [16:54] TSchultz55: It generates the locales. Depends on the speed of you r computer [16:54] oops caps [16:54] killaz, as in ubuntu [16:54] which one of the packages is the nvidia drivers? [16:54] LhiQuer Nvidia is fine, just manually configure your monitor settings [16:54] I'm watching it in the terminal.......It's still on the first one (en_AU.UTF-8)......for about 15 min now [16:55] but i'll keep my eye on i [16:55] killaz: how did you install the driver? [16:55] t [16:55] hadouken: okey, I first put sudo -s [16:55] thanks [16:55] amenado, no I don't know what it is... see I only have one usb device plugged in thats a usb external hdd. It's 500gb. It's also mounted in there as /media/disk. I don't know what /media/disk-1 is [16:55] killaz, what kernel did you update to? [16:55] hadouken: then open kill -9 5856 [16:55] mefi: yes, "kill -9 " [16:55] mefi: make sure thats the PID of the screensaver app tho [16:55] TSchultz55: That certainly sounds wrong. Mine takes 1-2 min to do all [16:55] alraune: you mean things that were not in the synaptic? [16:55] hadouken: what are u killing ? [16:55] LhiQuer: 2.6.24-19 [16:56] mefi : yes [16:56] fwaokda-> what if you unmount /media/disk-1 ? [16:56] IndyGunFreak: it installed them for me automatic when I installed the system.. didn't bother figuring out which package it was. [16:56] hadouken: ah, s-saver [16:56] alraune: his screensaver app has frozen [16:56] IndyGunFreak: now that I updated to the new kernel... things went wrong... [16:56] killaz, please check the forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5233563 [16:57] killaz: and now its not in hardware driver manager anymore?... [16:57] amenado, i get this "umount: /media/disk-1 is not in the fstab (and you are not root)" [16:57] IndyGunFreak: yup [16:57] hadouken: okey got it [16:57] wierd... [16:57] mefi: gone? [16:57] berntsen: uh oh.... [16:57] TSchultz55: Installing or upgrading? [16:57] how do i recover a minimized program [16:57] amenado, also... if you look at the disk-1's properities they're all listed as "unknown" except size which is 434.6gb [16:57] fwaokda-> use sudo umount /media/disk-1 [16:57] berntsen: upgrading [16:57] IndyGunFreak, the forums say all http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5233563 [16:57] LhiQuer: yeah, was just looking at it. [16:57] alraune: well, I tried installing git4cf-automator... think I failed though [16:58] hadouken: yes! ty [16:58] always best to do a fresh install [16:58] TSchultz55: You could try stopping it, and then run dpkg -configure -a [16:58] mefi, hadouken: remove it, maybe uncomment hardy partners in sources.list, start fw after reboot, I'm done [16:58] how do i recover a minimized program [16:58] amenado, it'll get rid of it 'but' I'm wanting to make it where it isn't going to keep mounting itself everytime i log onto my computer [16:58] berntsen: how do I "stop" the upgrade? [16:58] fwaokda-> btw, which ubuntu version do you have? you seemed to have enabled bunch of filesystems [16:58] just kill it? [16:58] TSchultz55: Ctrl+C :-) [16:58] Hey, it's me again, I am using VLC for playing video and DVD, but it is not supported my laptop front panel play/pause/stop/"etc" buttons, how I can have them recognise ?!?! [16:58] amenado, 8.4 [16:58] .1 [16:58] LhiQuer Who is having trouble getting nvidia to work? [16:59] fwaokda-> paste your /etc/fstab please [16:59] mefi: np :) [16:59] berntsen: I'm using the GUI [16:59] Jack_Sparrow, disappeared from the hardware drivers [16:59] hadouken: but the problem with the screensaver window came first when I selected one of the options in it.. Now I can't change [16:59] not directly from the CLI [16:59] cygoku: like buttons on your keyboard? [16:59] [16:59] alraune: okey, ty [16:59] LhiQuer: now way I'm going to reinstall ubuntu.. [16:59] mefi: could be a bug, try updating everything to latest version [16:59] LhiQuer: :-( [16:59] amenado, it's posted on the 4th (last) post of this thread... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5422055#post5422055 [16:59] LhiQuer sudo lshw doesnt show nvidia [16:59] IndyGunFreak: it's not in any documentation i'v found (manpage, faq on website, help) so i declare it impossible or at least very much fucked up [16:59] killaz, only takes 30 mins [16:59] IndyGunFreak : Well those buttons are on the front of my laptop, not really on the keyboard. [17:00] amenado, posted that forum link maybe you can see what others have recommended and my responses only 4 posts not long [17:00] TSchultz55: ohh..try closing the windows then, if not you have to go into the terminal and kill it there, or the system monitor [17:00] Got a quick question: Is there a way to change the owner of files on NTFS partitions? chown says it works, but doesn't. Is there some option I need to use specially at mount-time? [17:00] hadouken: think alraune just helped me with that :P I can't click anything within the screensaver window without getting it frozen [17:00] Jack_Sparrow, whats happening to him happened to me... drivers disappeared after kernel upgrade [17:00] Hi all. I have a game that runs in fullscreen, but only supports 3:4, and because I have a widescreen monitor, it stretches the game out. Is there a way to make my display full-screen in 3:4, and _not_ stretch out the display (ie, w/ black bars on the sides)? [17:00] berntsen: yeah the "Close" option is grayed out [17:00] jazzkutya: well, i don't know.. never heard that situation before, so that tells me its an isolated incident [17:00] mefi: ok, then listen to alraune, he is very wise :P [17:00] LhiQuer k [17:00] guess i'll manually have to kill it [17:00] this isn't gonna be pretty,........................... [17:00] bbl [17:00] TSchultz55: nope... [17:00] LhiQuer: you know how many apps I got installed, development tools? [17:00] fwaokda-> can you remove this none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=124,devmode=664 0 0 and then reboot, and compare to what you have now [17:00] cygoku: ok.. well, thats probably gonna be an exercise in futility, just so you know. [17:00] berntsen: good thing for TimeVault [17:01] hadouken: but it didnt help in this case :P [17:01] amenado, ok brb [17:01] IndyGunFreak : What does that mean ? [17:01] mefi: I just opened my wine... reboot, music is turned on, lol... [17:01] LhiQuer: I didn't install a linux system to be doing things the microsoft way [17:01] TSchultz55: never tried it [17:01] mefi: what didnt help? [17:01] killaz, what card do you use? [17:01] mefi: watch the boot messages [17:01] berntsen: "localdef" is still running......50% CPU......so it' [17:01] alraune: sorry what!? hehe [17:01] it's doing SOMETHING [17:01] hadouken: with the screensaver bug :P [17:02] can anyone recommend a different music player instead of rhythmbox? [17:02] jazzkuta: amarok [17:02] mefi: ah :) [17:02] AMAROK FTW [17:02] i don't need music libraries but handling radios similar to rhyhmbox would be great [17:02] LhiQuer: forgot the command which lists the hardware [17:02] alraune: where? [17:02] if i have a dedicated windows partition, i can boot it through a vm in ubuntu, correct? [17:03] Got a quick question: Is there a way to change the owner of files on NTFS partitions? chown says it works, but doesn't. Is there some option I need to use specially at mount-time? [17:03] jazzkutya: Amarok or Exaile [17:03] evilbug: vmware ? [17:03] thanx [17:03] alraune, hadouken: man If I was the one trying to help me, I'd be pissed of with me [17:03] killaz, i don't know it either :S [17:03] hadouken- yes. [17:03] mefi: im pissed off with myself for helping you already :P [17:03] mefi: type: reboot, when machine comes up again, watch the screen for errors (try it still today, though) [17:04] hadouken: hahaha cheerio [17:04] LhiQuer: hold on going to find it [17:04] killaz, lspci [17:04] yup [17:04] alraune: okay.. Ill do it soon [17:04] mefi: i was only joking ;) [17:04] LhiQuer: exactly [17:04] jack-desktop; you're on this too? [17:04] alraune: maybe the problem is attached to the problem with my screensaver options? [17:05] killaz, lspci | grep VGA will be tidier [17:05] hadouken: yeah I know =) [17:05] ??? [17:05] 这是什么东西 [17:05] evilbug: dont think vmware is capable of that [17:05] mefi: maybe, then remove it [17:05] but im not 100% sure, check vmware docs? [17:05] hi all! [17:05] hadouken- so i'd have to install windows through the vm? [17:05] amenado, well haha, I forgot to erase the line before restarting (doh!) but its not here now. Perhaps because I didn't umount it this time before restarting and that fixed it. I'll keep watching it thanks! [17:06] LhiQuer: I have a GeForce 8400M G ... [17:06] did anybody know internet messanger with voice mail and he have hotmail yahoo ... [17:06] what is this [17:06] alraune, hadouken: when I open Screensaver options, the window works, I can click on anything but the different types I can choose from. If I do, the window freeze up [17:06] killaz, the full line please [17:06] evilbug: yes, vmware uses virtual hard drives (file backed) [17:06] fwaokda-> am glad we resolved it [17:06] mefi: do you try to select a 3d screensaver by any chance? [17:07] BioF [17:07] cant see preview [17:07] LhiQuer: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400M G (rev a1) [17:07] I think I've totally botched a binary driver installation (ATI) and I've tried everything the wiki says to clean it up to no avail. I can't get rid of MESA. Any suggestions? [17:07] does there exist a countdown applet for gnome? [17:07] hadouken- i see. [17:07] killaz, okay [17:07] hadouken: BioF, can't see preview [17:07] evilbug: basically no, you cant run an existing windows partition from linux :) unless you used Xen or somethin [17:07] LhiQuer: what you need this info for? [17:07] killaz, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new nvidia-settings [17:08] mefi: maybe your graphics card isnt setup properly or something [17:08] yeah [17:08] hadouken- thanks. [17:08] <_tobias> Hey, I just installed ubuntu from windows, got 2 hdds, one I installed ubuntu on and the other one is still ntfs I guess, trying to access that hdd I get "Cannot mount Volume" and it says I can try to force, but if I do that, will it affect the disk in any way? I got alot of stuff on it I don't want to lose. And will I still be able to access it if I ever go back to windows or will ubuntu change the filesystem? [17:08] LhiQuer: I didn'tt have nvidia-settings installed [17:08] can somebbody tell me [17:08] hadouken: maybe it's a problem with compiz [17:08] amenado, me too im gonna go update my forum post! I don't know much about the forums (I'm fairly new to them) but I noticed they had a system for thanking people that help you. Do you have a username on the forums that some how I can thank so you get some credit for fixing it ;) ??? [17:09] killaz, that command does everything for you [17:09] killaz, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new nvidia-settings [17:09] _tobias: You could try to mount it read-only [17:09] shit................Hardy upgrade crapped out. [17:09] not good [17:09] mefi: could be, i would just update your installation and carry on as normal, wait for it to happen again, then do some further testing, make sure you grab the logs straight after, run ultimate boot cd etc [17:09] <_tobias> berntsen: how to? :P [17:09] very very bad [17:09] LhiQuer: I'm going to reinstall the nvidia-glx-new thing [17:09] fwaokda-> no registered name really, just use my nick here on #ubuntu amenado for the credit :P [17:10] LhiQuer: or just install and than restart? [17:10] _tobias: in terminal: mount -o ro /dev/sd?? /some_empty_dir [17:10] hadouken: okay.. I'll do that then.. there is nop way of removing and reinstalling screensaver optins huh? [17:10] _tobias: sudo first ofcourse [17:10] mefi: possibly, but i wouldnt know how... [17:10] TSchultz55: terminal: sudo dpkg -configure -a [17:10] killaz, install and restart [17:10] how do i look for wireless hotspots on ubuntu [17:11] likeavailable wireless connection [17:11] LhiQuer: ok... thank you. I'm going to restart [17:11] owner: wifi-radar [17:11] hadouken: do you know where I could get support regarding graphics and using two screens and such? [17:11] mefi: view the ubuntu docs/wiki etc ?

I have to go soon...going to a concert, but I'm sure there are others that can help you through it step by step. Right people? [17:14] berntsen: comp wont even boot now. it's completely fucked. [17:14] for the right price :) [17:14] I was just thinking of putting together a 'green' pc. Has anyone ever looked into it or know of a place online that might be helpful? [17:14] <_tobias> amenado: I installed ubuntu on the master-hdd, and I'm trying to access the slave one, via ubuntu, the slave one was just a backup-drive [17:14] mefi: what did you change? [17:14] TSchultz55: error is? [17:14] berntsen: wait nm hold that thought........................... [17:14] fwaokda: green as in lead free, or green as in low-power? [17:14] cycom, i suppose both would make it 'greener' haha [17:14] oo wait [17:14] guys s/w to erase rw dvd except brasero [17:14] its loading [17:15] i meant is there any s/w ? [17:15] failes to initialize HAL [17:15] got problems with random crashes when viewing flash content. Have read about some workarounds, but nothing solid. Anyone know if there is a solid fix? [17:15] _tobias any filesystem you wanted to view within ubuntu must be mounted, therefore mount the backup-drive [17:15] fwaokda: just draw a pic of ubuntu on a cardboard box, cant get any greener :P [17:15] <_tobias> amenado: how to? [17:15] hadouken: could use hemp-based paper or something. [17:15] hadouken, that doesn't really work though. [17:15] berntsen: nm it boots now....stuff's messed up but at least I can get to the desktop. [17:15] hadouken: or on a rock! [17:15] hadouken: oh I changed a lot trying to get the right resolution on my LCD-monitor :P now the loading page when booting ubuntu is all messed up, color-wise [17:16] a rock would be greener ha [17:16] TSchultz55: great! [17:16] cycom: lol, rocks can hurt people, corpses arent good for the environment :P [17:16] _tobias-> sudo mount /dev/sdxx /mnt you have to find out your /dev/sdxx via sudo fdisk -l [17:16] hadouken: sure they are! [17:16] hadouken: just not for other complex organisms when in large quantities. === shevek is now known as Guest10156 [17:16] Hey, it's me again, I am using VLC for playing video and DVD, but it is not supported my laptop front panel play/pause/stop/"etc" buttons, how I can have them recognise ?!?! [17:16] I've just upgraded from Ubuntu 8.04 and It keeps freezing every 1-2 minutes. Is there a new feature that hogs the HDD or anything? [17:17] cycom: unless youre a cannibal, then its a free lunch [17:17] fwaokda-> try to use one of those fanless single board pc perhaps? like the VIA based processors [17:17] <\kG> how secure is the encryption u can setup on ubuntu install? [17:17] mefi: nvidia ? [17:17] but I digress. fwaokda, laptops (if you can get the hardware support) are my weapon of choice for low power PCs. [17:17] hadouken: as long as it's fresh. [17:17] <_tobias> amenado: will this affect the filesystem in any way? [17:17] :P [17:17] hadouken: crappy radeon [17:17] amenado, alright -- im going to start looking into it and will post any findings on the forums for others I think. [17:17] _tobias-> affect? you are just mounting another filesystem..for viewing [17:18] fwaokda: amenado is right, look into mini-itx systems [17:18] <_tobias> amenado: oh, ok :P, thanks for the help :) [17:18] !compiz [17:18] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [17:18] cant get lower power than taht [17:18] mefi: not sure then [17:18] anyone have flash running without crashes? [17:18] support for old ati cards is terrible [17:18] like I said though, laptops can be a tad more practical. Plus, built in UPS! [17:18] hadouken: okay... [17:19] good point cycom [17:19] bit more expensive tho [17:19] hadouken: he said green, not cheap ;) [17:19] Anoyone know wether I can remove a screensaver from computer? [17:19] <_tobias> amenado: "mount: you must specify the filesystem type" [17:20] Personally, I am extremely happy with my Dell E1505. Came with vista, but I installed ubuntu 8.04.1 on it in a few days, and BAM! Instant awesome. [17:20] mefi: remove in what way? [17:20] mefi: does the screen power off, or just the pretty pictures that get displayed? [17:20] _tobias-> then specify it please, typically they are ext2 or ext3, but if it was used for windows then ntfs-3g [17:20] cycom: like, the file [17:20] cycom: the bigger the better for me, screw the environment :P [17:20] _tobias: mount -t ntfs-3g -o ro /dev/sd?? /mnt [17:20] mefi: that doesn't really clear things up though... the program you mean? [17:21] dextorion: 64 or 32-bit system? [17:21] cycom: the screensaver options freeze up when I try to change screensaver... It's stuck on BioF, so I figure if I remove it it might work... it's Gnome screensaver [17:21] in running hardy and iv tried to set up ampache, but when i get to step two, it says ampache.cfg.php exists error. does anyone know why this happens/ [17:21] hadouken: Oh, don't get me wrong. I have my nice big Pentium D EE with 4gb of ram, a few hundred gigs of storage, and a big ol power supply to run a GeForcec Go 9600 GT :) [17:21] <_tobias> amenado: "mount: only root can do that" [17:22] _tobias-> yes, and you noticed i typed sudo mount.... [17:22] mefi: hrm. you could apt-get remove the screensaver modules with OpenGL, iirc [17:22] Hi, I am installing Ubuntu desktop for i386. I am in the Live CD now. The installation always seems to complete normally, but upon reboot it says "missing operating system". Help? [17:22] cycom: yeh thats nice, my 3ghz quad core, ati 3870 crossfire, 2tb HD is better tho, i want the planet to scream in pain when i boot my machine up :{ [17:22] cycom: and how to do that? specifically? [17:23] Will__: check your boot order in BIOS [17:23] hey killaz [17:23] <_tobias> amenado: oh, yeh, right :P sorry [17:23] Found something: http://www.climatesaverscomputing.org/# [17:23] mefi: well, I don't know specifics... [17:23] I'm running ubuntu on my intel mac mini [17:23] kk [17:23] hadouken: How do I do this? [17:23] hi LhiQuer [17:23] Will__-> are you sure you completed the install? selected which partition to put GRUB ? [17:23] LhiQuer: no luck [17:23] hadouken: well, lets not forget that I have two other desktops, a P4 and a dual PIII box, plus two other laptops :) [17:23] killaz, you will never get the hardware driver to reappear [17:24] cycom: ah ok, you probably beat me then hehe [17:24] hadouken: ALL running seti@home to boot! [17:24] LhiQuer: oh? [17:24] Whoops [17:24] cycom: I got it [17:24] LhiQuer: why is that? [17:24] killaz, sudo nvidia-settings [17:24] hadouken: I'm hoping we find some aliens that give us cold fusion or something. [17:24] cycom: omg, you must hate the environment with a passion :O ... or really wanna find aliens [17:24] cycom: I searched for the name of the screensaver i synaptic, found it and uninstalled... really sick screensaver something [17:24] cycom: lol yeh, screw the planet then ask the aliens to help us, i like your style :P [17:25] hadouken: actually, most of our power near here is nuc, so it doesn't really matter in terms of carbon emissions and all that junk. [17:25] LhiQuer: first I need to run nvidia-xconfig [17:25] Will__: you need to enter your BIOS when your comp boots then make sure your linux drive is set to boot, did you use windows before? [17:25] killaz, okay [17:25] LhiQuer: rebooting brb [17:25] and for all of you about to cry 'NUCLEAR POLLUTES', lets not forget that Uranium was already in the ground, and putting it back after we've used it can't be much worse. [17:25] cycom: grown any extra limbs/ears recently ? ;) [17:26] hadouken: please. nuclear is safer than coal, for sure. [17:26] hadouken: the area I live in has radon in the ground everywhere naturally. It's probably safer to be at the plant. [17:26] <\kG> does anyone know how u can acomlish FULL disk encryption on ubuntu? [17:26] cycom: dunno, a lot of my family used to work with coal etc, never did them any harm [17:26] \kG: I know debian had a nice article on it. [17:26] Hey, it's me again, I am using VLC for playing video and DVD, but it is not supported my laptop front panel play/pause/stop/"etc" buttons, how I can have them recognise ?!?! [17:26] hadouken: no black lung? [17:26] \kG, encfs I think will do that, so will truecrypt now [17:26] hiya. not sure this is the proper channel for this question but... i'm running HH and loving it. but i'm having a bit of a time trying to have it see the shares in my OS X system, seeming only to look for Windows shares. I use Firestarter and when I disable it, the OS X shares show up fine. I've added the OS X machine's IP to the inbound access policy in Firestarter but to no avail. Am I doing something wrong? [17:27] cygoku: there are some packages to do that, but honestly, you're better off trying to get your videos to play in totem. [17:27] cycom: nope... only damage my lungs have are from 2nd hand smoking :\ [17:27] <\kG> th0r i have the latest truecrypt and it will not do full disk encryption [17:27] cycom, what packages ? [17:27] nootrope-> umm what filesystem does OS X uses? [17:27] cygoku: *shrug* dunno. I just got my video to play in Totem :) [17:28] amenado: HFS+ [17:28] hey, im trying to open an .rar file that is not password protected, yet archive manager is still asking me for a password .. and no the file is not corrupt .. can someone help? [17:28] amenado, an Apple format [17:28] cycom, Huh ok :P But totem doesn't play dvd ;) [17:28] \kG: i used to use cryptoloop for full disk encryption [17:28] hadouken: my grandfather smoked for 40 years, played with rocket fuel chemicals for most of his life, and visited nuclear test sites (ground zero). he died of lung cancer, (but not the varety you get from smoking) at 80. [17:29] \kG : best thing to do is google for a guide/HOWTO [17:29] cygoku: sure it does... [17:29] cycom: how has that anything to do with ubuntu ? [17:29] what would be the command to take ownership of a directory get read/write access and all it's files/subdirectories? [17:29] cycom, I plays dvd true okay, but without menu ! [17:29] nootrope-> check if your ubuntu support such FS i cant recall where right now, somewhere in /proc/sys [17:29] piju: chown -R [17:29] ikonia: sorry, I'm spreading offtopic stuff to hadouken in with my advice to several people in the channel. [17:29] <\kG> hadouken ; lookin into it thank you [17:29] dru do you have unrar installed? [17:29] PrimoTurbo: chown -R [17:29] nootrope-> ahh cat /proc/filesystems [17:30] i am looking for a meta messenger capable of icq, msn and skype? any hints? [17:30] cycom: try to keep the offtopic stuff in #ubuntu-offtopic please. [17:30] PrimoTurbo: and chmod -R [17:30] amenado, ok... lemme see [17:30] \kG : np [17:30] kiru: pidgin is the closest multi messanger product [17:30] kiru, skype is proprietary so I doubt you will find what you are looking for [17:30] ikonia: icq doesnt work anymore with my pidgin... this is actually why i am asking for smth else [17:30] hey killaz [17:30] LhiQuer: hi [17:31] i have problem booting hardy livecd on my hp nx9010. any ideas? [17:31] kiru: it should do, ubuntu put a fix in and that fix should be propodated [17:31] killaz, sudo nvidia-settings ? [17:31] kiru : another vote for pidgin, or aMSN maybe [17:31] ApOgEE-, more details please [17:31] propogated even [17:31] ApOgEE-, confirm if u did check the cd for defects ? [17:31] LhiQuer: again the same messsage run nvidia-xconfig [17:31] I already did that [17:31] amenado, sowhere's FAT and FAT32 in this list? it doesn't seem to have problems with that. [17:31] ikonia: i updated but i still get the message that my pidgin is outdated and this is why icq doesnt work [17:32] LhiQuer: and restarted [17:32] Raheem, i have use the live cd on other laptop and pc. no problem [17:32] killaz, sudo nvidia-xconfig ? [17:32] nootrope-> yes, ubuntu can easily read and write to FAT and FAT32 [17:32] kiru: doesn't look like you've updated to the correct version [17:32] ApOgEE-, did u try with the safe VGA mode ? [17:32] ikonia: uh, i found it [17:32] ikonia: i still have to update it [17:32] kiru: ahh well done [17:32] kiru: there you go then [17:32] does anyone know how to fix the bug of nvidia that shake screen on leave session ?? [17:32] amenado, yeah, i got that. why does itmanage with Apple's system when I turn off the firewall? [17:32] or tell us where exactly it stops ? [17:33] SHAO_MGA: are you using the nvidia drivers ? [17:33] ikonia yes ! [17:33] ikonia: but it doesnt upgrade because it is hold back or smth [17:33] kiru: please get the exact error [17:33] ikonia: dont know how to tell it in english -.- [17:33] <_tobias> amenado: I mounted it, and it went away from the "places"-menu, It was there before I tried to mount it, "250 gb Media Disk" [17:33] amenado, this may be OT [17:33] LhiQuer: I already did that.... the system restarted in a very low resolution just like after the kernel update [17:33] SHAO_MGA: if it's an issue with the drivers, there is nothing ubuntu can do to fix it. What card do you have ? [17:33] nootrope-> i dont follow, it manage with Apple when you turn of the firewall === Ubuntu is now known as Kresten [17:33] killaz, right, now we need to do something [17:33] LhiQuer: I have chosen the nvidia 8 series drivers... still no luck [17:33] Hi guys... I'm trying to install or at least run live cd on my brothers laptop, I get to the boot menu, but nothing happens when I choose an option.. It spins the cd for a while and then nothing :S - any suggestions? [17:33] "apt-get upgrade" -> "the following packes are hold back:" <-- dont know if it is correct translation to english [17:33] amenado, yeah, it's something with the firewall, it seems [17:34] Kresten: do a cd check - make sure its valid and the drive is working/can read it fine [17:34] what is the best way to share files between ubuntu computers at home? [17:34] amenado, turning off Firestarter makes them read/writable [17:34] killaz, gksu displayconfig-gtk [17:34] ikonia: MCP51 [17:34] ikonia: "apt-get upgrade" -> "the following packes are hold back:" <-- dont know if it is correct translation to englis [17:34] LhiQuer: what is that for? [17:34] instabin: nfs/samba/cifs/sshfs/ftp you choose [17:34] nootrope-> well when you try to share, it has to have access to the network, so you may have a firewall rules preventing such ports? [17:34] ikonia: i think so [17:34] ikonia: nothing happens when i choose that option :S [17:34] SHAO_MGA: what chip set [17:34] ikonia: can i share logins also? [17:34] Kresten: either cd is dead or drive is dead then [17:35] killaz, you done it yet? [17:35] Raheem, i've tried the "safe graphic mode". it still freeze at about 2 bar of that orange status bar [17:35] amenado, i thought not but i'll check again... thanks for your help [17:35] instabin: thats nis/ldap/kerboeros [17:35] LhiQuer: yup [17:35] _tobias-> what was that again? i can barely remember what we were working on [17:35] killaz, one sec [17:35] ikonia: c51mv [17:35] ApOgEE-, just press Esc there, u could find where it stops, probably [17:35] kiru: look in the dpkg.log find it why it's held back [17:35] SHAO_MGA: thats not a chipset [17:35] thanks ikonia [17:35] LhiQuer: I'm gonna choose nvidia... [17:35] killaz, ok [17:35] ikonia: im using in a laptop [17:35] is there any other way to install without using cd then? [17:36] SHAO_MGA: ahhh it's a lpatop model [17:36] Raheem, i do press esc multiple times now... nothing change. it is freezing [17:36] Kresten: well, check if it's the cd first of all, or the drive [17:36] ikonia: yes... the default driver (generic) does not let enable the compiz [17:36] <_tobias> amenado: mounting a ntfs-drive in ubuntu [17:36] LhiQue(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!r: [17:36] LhiQuer: (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module! [17:36] I am new to Ubuntu, how can I see what packages are installes from console? [17:36] Hi, I am trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 on a custom-built computer but I have trouble getting the onboard network card to work. [17:36] I just installed the restricted drivers for my graphics card, and everything is fine except I can't get above 800x600 resolution. I tried using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but that never gave me an option to specify my refreshrate/resolution. Can anyone give me a hand configuring it? It's supposed to be 1600x1200 @ 60hz, but when I tried putting that in my xorg.conf ubuntu barfed. [17:36] kiru: we saw you [17:36] ikonia: this is a proprietary one, i would like to know if there one compatible [17:37] wow, putting a SDcard in my cardreader locks up my whole PC, booting with it in gives and error too :S [17:37] I can not remember anything going wrong with the network card during the installation.. would it alert me if it did not work? [17:37] ikonia: you saw me? where? [17:37] SHAO_MGA: where did you get the driver ? [17:37] this is new for me, always worked [17:37] kiru: sorry meant for killaz [17:37] ah... sry... [17:37] Raheem, i have to press the power button for some second to reboot it [17:37] ikonia: ubuntu suggest me to download it [17:37] Hi, I was trying to get the nvidia drivers to work, and tried to set a screen resolution/graphics card combination, and I guess I chose wrong, because now the screen is pretty much a mess when I get to the login stage. Any ideas what I need to do to roll back? [17:37] killaz, hold on [17:37] _tobias so did you do a sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdxx /mnt where /dev/sdxx is your ntfs partition? [17:37] Can anyone tell me how to make a service start on boot in ubuntu. from console? [17:37] SHAO_MGA: ok, so your using the packaged driver. Thats a good start [17:37] ikonia: dpkg.log doesnt tell anything [17:38] ikonia: last entry is 30mins old [17:38] Mnemonic^: probably with chkconfig? === sacul is now known as sacul_away [17:38] b4: Thanks [17:38] kiru: thats frustrating, there is normally a note why things are held back. Are you on 8.04 ? [17:38] or chkconf, don't remember [17:38] ikonia: yes [17:38] <_tobias> amenado: yep [17:38] Mnemonic^: download boot up manager [17:38] killaz, is that when you try to change the driver to nvidia? [17:38] _tobias-> and what is the results? [17:38] LhiQuer: yup [17:39] hello [17:39] hey is it possible to enable subtittles with elisa?

[17:39] hey guys what's a good webcam for running under ubuntu? [17:39] b4: Ok.. What do I need to install to get that command? [17:39] kiru: sudo apt-get update [17:40] kiru: make sure your source list is up to date [17:40] no idea, I never had to install it manually [17:40] _tobias-> type mount and see if its already mounted after you issued those commands [17:40] LhiQuer: should I reinstalled the nvdia drivers? [17:40] ikonia: yes, what a pitty.. the funny and ironic thing is that this is a brazilian model, in the fabricant website he said the laptop is compatible with ubuntu.. i think its just o reduce costs =/ [17:40] _tobias-> then do an ls -la /mnt [17:40] ikonia: ok, thank you... i think pidign is fully functional again :) [17:40] Guys, how can I reset my graphics options to "generic everything", please? I set the wrong options in the hardware config and now I can't get a picture [17:40] kiru: thats what I wanted to hear [17:41] killaz, reinstall them now if you want, yeah [17:41] ikonia: thks by the help [17:41] SHAO_MGA: it is "working" just not supported [17:41] <_tobias> amenado: oh, there it is, but is it able to access it as a normal drive outside the terminal? [17:41] LhiQuer: sudo apt-get purge nvidia-glx-new [17:42] _tobias-> what do you meant outside the terminal? try to use a file manager like nautilus and list it [17:42] killaz, yeah [17:42] does anyone know the file type to run in pscx emulator ???

Is it normal that OS X can't mount the .iso? [17:44] LhiQuer: this means I need to stick to the nv drivers? [17:44] SHAO_MGA: there is a Platstation emullator on ubuntu. The package is pcsx-bin [17:44] Kresten: I wouldn't have said so , no, check the md5's [17:44] LhiQuer: this is such a crap... [17:44] killaz, you may have to [17:44] ok - whenever someone is ready i need some help as i'm somewhat in a pinch [17:44] _tobias perhaps you need a tutorial on how to use ubuntu..let me see if i can locate one, [17:45] ikonia: right, i installed it, but where i can found roms? do you know something about it ? [17:45] !tutor [17:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about tutor [17:45] <_tobias> amenado: Would love that :) [17:45] SHAO_MGA: roms are illegal [17:45] killaz, have a look through this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [17:45] hi, I've got a problem with my lcd display: sometimes the screen displays weird flickering colours on some parts. is my monitor broken? (I guess it's not a ubuntu-specific problem but hardware-related) [17:45] can comeone provide a link to _tobias for an ubuntu tutorial please [17:45] SHAO_MGA: thats not a topic for an ubuntu support channel. If you want to play a game, buy the game [17:45] Is there a way to reset keyboard shortcuts to default (like after a fresh install?). [17:45] amenado: turorial in what ?

[17:48] right, now search for linux-restricted-modules [17:48] I've tried installing Ubuntu on my computer on numerous occasions. It seems to install correctly, but upon reboot there's just a message saying "missing operating system". Can someone help with this? [17:48] <_tobias> amenado: Thanks :) [17:48] Raheem, any other way to fix it? [17:48] /join #perl [17:48] cygoku: I was going to say before, try Totem-Xine for DVD Menu support [17:48] ApOgEE-, i still doubt ur CD media .. why don't u run a CD check ? [17:49] killaz, and then choose linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-19-generic [17:49] it is provided in the menu as an option [17:49] yup I will choose the 19-generic [17:49] Will__: did you check your boot order in BIOS ? [17:49] looks like i already have gparted in this base little install jam [17:50] hi [17:50] Oh hi hadouken. How do you check this? [17:50] do I have to do something special to see a mac partition? [17:50] killaz, i'm guessing it wasn installed? [17:50] cycom, I know, tho this is only a workaround the problem, not a fix. [17:50] sebateria, hello [17:50] LhiQuer: nope [17:50] no hablan español? [17:50] killaz, was it or was it not? [17:50] hola [17:50] Will__: when your computer first POSTs (all the white text at start), press DEL so you enter the BIOS setup screen, then look for device/drive boot order [17:50] it wasn't [17:50] Raheem, i'm running cd check on that notebook now... will see the result soon [17:50] yo hablo español [17:50] cycom, And everything with totem or xine is the worse scenario you can ever use. [17:50] cygoku: but using VLC isn't? [17:51] yup [17:51] then make sure the HD you installed ubuntu to is listed [17:51] LhiQuer: should I know run the nvidia-config? [17:51] hadouken, alright be right back. [17:51] cygoku: I've been perfectly happy with them... [17:51] LhiQuer: should I know run the nvidia-xconfig? [17:51] k [17:51] ok dja [17:51] hadouken, just for future reference I'm in the Live CD now, Windows was wiped. [17:51] killaz, i DARE you to open Hardware Drivers now [17:51] sabrias si se puede instalar ares en LINUX [17:51] Will__: did you install ubuntu to the same drive as windows ? [17:52] LhiQuer: omg [17:52] cycom : VLC is not a workaroung, VLC is the video player that does it all, I only miss the way to set a simple media button to play/pause. [17:52] hey all...reinstalling windows had wiped out by grub settings.. i just managed to boot in through the grub console.... how to make this boot permanent so that i get the boot choices again instead of always entering the grub console?? [17:52] hadouken, yes [17:52] !grub [17:52] Will__: guess its not your boot order then [17:52] 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 [17:52] LhiQuer: so I should have reinstalled this package [17:52] cygoku: if the media buttons don't work, then it doesn't do it all :) [17:52] LhiQuer: cool... [17:52] LhiQuer: thank your very much [17:52] killaz, are they there? [17:52] hadouken, at least, I think I did. I'm not certain, but Windows is not there anymore. [17:52] LhiQuer: yeah they are [17:52] cycom : I guess you have an nVidia card ? [17:52] de donde eresd sebateira [17:52] right, killaz, a little more to be done [17:52] cygoku: not to mention the fact that totem handles remote locations pretty darn well, like mounted sshd drives. [17:53] hi everyone [17:53] I've been having a lot of issues after recent updates, is there a way to go back to before the most recent updates? [17:53] LhiQuer: yeah it is not in se [17:53] de españa/malaga [17:53] use [17:53] cygoku: actually, I have a Mobility Radeon X1400 in my laptop, which is what I primarily use ubuntu on. [17:53] killaz, now enable it :D [17:53] Will__: try rebooting your comp, at POST press F12, if you get a boot menu, select the ubuntu HD [17:53] cygoku: with desktop effects, no less. [17:53] cycom : I have the exact same card and I have having problem with video and totem-xine. [17:53] is there any encryption solution for dual-boot environments that allow you to use encrypted partitions in both systems ? [17:53] killaz, come back after you reboot [17:53] *allows [17:53] hadouken, I've tried this. I only have one HD, and I did this to boot from the CD. [17:54] cygoku: *shrug* I just played a dvd with it about 30 seconds ago, just to make sure I wasn't crazy. [17:54] crobian: truecrypt is available for both windows and linux.. I don't know if you can use two installs on the same partition though [17:54] Will__: im guessing the install didnt complete properly then, or you installed it to the wrong drive [17:54] cycom : it's possible that you are not crazy, but with ati card, I always have to set the video output to use X11, and with totem-xine it's a pain. [17:54] Slart, I have a fully-encrypted hardy install (dm-crypt/LUKS) and was able to encrypt my windows partitions with truecrypt [17:55] cygoku: I didn't change any settings... [17:55] asmo[B]: nah.. I've never seen a way of unupdating or whatever to call it.. unless you want to reinstall from an older iso or something [17:55] but i dont seem to be able to encrypt anything else but the windows partition with truecrypt [17:55] without formatting the device anyway [17:55] when i want to enlarge my swap file should it be installed on /dev or it doesn't matter??? [17:55] Raheem, Check finished: no errors found on the CD [17:55] cycom : My mistake, xine is using X11 by default. [17:55] how to make an image of a cd through ubuntu? [17:55] Abed : your swap is a partition, not a file [17:55] crobian: hmm.. to bad.. would have been nice if it had worked =/ [17:56] db92, you can use dd command [17:56] hadouken, as I've said I did the install many times, and it could be installing to the wrong drive, but it picks a default drive I think in the Install process. [17:56] ikonia: You found the problem :) - the checksum doesn't match :) [17:56] i was thinking to use PGP, as it can encrypt any partition without issues [17:56] ApOgEE- i am runnig out of ideas.. please hold it .. someone will come up [17:56] hi, can someone tell me how to create a link to a folder within the Resources menu please? thanks a lot [17:56] hadouken:i am talking about enlarging not the orignial partition [17:56] but 1) i dont know much about its bootloader and chainloading it [17:56] does anyone use this laptop : http://www.lenovolaptopsindia.com/lenovoy50043qnotebooks.html ? [17:56] 2) it's not available for linux so no cross-platform support [17:56] LhiQuer: hi [17:56] LhiQuer: I'm back [17:57] killaz, sudo nvidia-settings [17:57] that one got Celeron processor + 512 MB RAM , and mostly runs slow with ubuntu 8.04 [17:57] i have a problem with my built in bluetooth { Toshiba A200-1M5} anyone? [17:57] Will__: taht message comes up when the BIOS cant find a valid bootloader on the hard drives that its configured to check [17:57] LhiQuer: yup running [17:57] Raheem, hopefully someone could come out and help me resolve this problem. I'm stuck on this. [17:57] Will__: so either the install is incomplete or the BIOS isnt set to boot from that drive [17:57] killaz, a nice small window appears? [17:57] hadouken, so how do I correct this? [17:57] i want to use 8.10 but i am rather struck with 7.10 as 8.04 runs slow on my laptop [17:58] se puede instalar ARES en LINUX ? [17:58] LhiQuer: yup.... [17:58] Will__: you could try to manually configure the GRUB bootloader [17:58] what is the "Movie Player" package called? [17:58] Will__: there are guides around if you google it [17:58] killaz, click X Server Display Configuration === nextplace is now known as nextplace_simpso [17:59] asmo:Rythmbox [17:59] LhiQuer: [17:59] LhiQuer: done [17:59] !es | sebateria [17:59] sebateria: 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. [17:59] hadouken, I'll look it up. [17:59] please help!!! suppose you have your /boot in /dev/sda3 so is root(hd0,2) right??? [17:59] killaz, now you can customise all settings... but be sure to "Save To X Configuration File" [17:59] anyone may help me with a bluetooth issue? [17:59] KoolD: yep [17:59] ok [18:00] crobian: thx [18:00] KoolD: np [18:00] LhiQuer: than you one more time... [18:00] Abed: no Rythmbox package on my list... [18:00] here in a screenshot of 8.10 , text areas take up so much space http://news.softpedia.com/images/extra/LINUX/large/ubuntu810alpha2-large_020.jpg [18:00] killaz, no problem [18:00] LhiQuer: now is there a way to reduce gaps between them [18:00] :D [18:00] debasys: #ubuntu+1 [18:00] !intrepid [18:00] Alpha Software: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 2008 - #ubuntu+1 for discussion | Warning lots of breaking software between now and October! [18:00] Slart, oh ok :) [18:00] asmo:try sudo apt-cache search rythmbox [18:00] asmo:then see wut it is called. [18:01] nothing [18:01] asmo:sorry it is rhthymbox [18:02] but in general in ubuntu , spacing between different window elements is more than a Win window, which makes viewing space in wide-screen laptops [18:02] asmo:rhythmbox [18:02] lol [18:02] i hope someone understood my question [18:02] debasys:wut? [18:02] LhiQuer: so what we actually did was reinstall the linux-restricted-modules [18:02] hello [18:02] can i change default source an default sink in pulseaudio? [18:02] killaz, and purge the old ones [18:03] Hi all [18:03] daxroc:wut's wrong? [18:03] LhiQuer: yup.. indeed [18:03] Abed, what i mean to say is the spacing between text/icons/menus in a window in ubuntu is more than WIN XP, also icons are bit bigger which take up more viewing space [18:03] asmo:wut happened with you? [18:03] debasys:hold on [18:04] silados: yes.. install padevchooser, paman and pavucontrol.. next time you start there should be a pulseaudio icon in the tasktray where you can change this [18:04] Abed: sorry was reinstalling it, thanks :) [18:04] asmo:ur welcome [18:04] I have a problem trying to delete files on a samba shared folder from the local and remote box ( ubuntu as well ) , says that permission is read only , fs permissions are set as 0777 recursivly and i have forced user,group in samba conf ? what else could be wrong ?

It seems to install correctly, but upon reboot there's just a message saying "missing operating system". Can someone help with this? [18:08] daxroc: oh, you might have to edit your samba.conf. I thought that the CLIENTs were ubuntu. [18:08] Kane1, at a terminal "chmod +x quakeinstallerfilename.run" [18:08] Abed, you;re forgetting something [18:08] Will__: np [18:08] Abed, i have compiz, [18:08] LhiQuer:yeah i guess remind me plz [18:09] daxroc: chances are that samba is set to share them as read only [18:09] silados: hmm.. I'm not sure then.. I've never actually changed the default source/sink.. I just remember seeing something about it in the menus [18:09] macd, ytmd [18:09] Abed, debasys, you also need sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [18:09] daxroc: check out /etc/samba/smb.conf on your host machines [18:09] Slart: I've got a bunch of drives tied up in an MD array, so the hard drives are accessed through /dev/md0 -- not /dev/sd* [18:10] Slart: well thanks anyway. [18:10] daxroc: there's some lines about permissions being auto-set to 700 for security reasons. [18:10] LhiQure:yeah right sorry i forgot it lol [18:10] LhiQuer, ok. and then will i be able to reduce fonts sizes or something? [18:10] does anyone know how to change the boot order of soundcards ? [18:10] For someone else: I've tried installing Ubuntu on my computer on numerous occasions. It seems to install correctly, but upon reboot there's just a message saying "missing operating system". Can someone help with this? [18:10] debasys, should do [18:10] AngryElf: ah.. well.. you'll have to search for files using anything on /dev/md* too then [18:10] Will__: Can we rule out hardware problems, esp. hard drive physical problems? [18:10] Is there a simple command which beeps? Very simple [18:10] LhiQuer, ok will try playing with settings [18:10] cycom: samba is set to writable = yes, read only = No , and forced user, group for the owning user, I have also forced the create mask + dir mask explicit for the share [18:11] howto fix this error: "SoftMac wx_set_mlme: we should know the net here" [18:11] daxroc: *shrug* got me then [18:11] Is it possible to directly copy my install to another drive...not as a backup but as my new hard drive?

Version 1.2.2-20 (hardy), package size 21 kB, installed size 108 kB [18:12] Slart: +1 [18:12] jimcooncat, I'm pretty sure my hard drive is fine. [18:12] putterson: system rescue cd worked for me, a bit to learn though [18:12] fantomas: of course you could use aplay/play to play a soundfile of your choice.. [18:12] Slart: no no no (David Blain) [18:12] Slart: I need exactly beep :) [readin man] [18:12] Will__: in what state is your hard disk at this time? does it boot to any OS? [18:13] jimcooncat, does it preserve all configuration? [18:13] * delcoyote hi [18:13] jimcooncat, no it won't boot to anything. [18:13] I have a weird problem: my mouse isn't working. I have two mice (one is ps/2, the other is usb) and neither move. they both get power, I can see the laser working. I recently drove the computer in a car for about an hour and suspect this might be the cause. the ps/2 keyboard I have works perfectly on the other hand. how to debug this, how to fix it? [18:13] putterson: yes, a bit too well actually. You may need to mess with drivers for any different hardware [18:14] Will__: how about a LiveCD? [18:14] kristjan_eerik, unplug one, and reboot [18:14] jimcooncat, I'm on it now. [18:14] help anyone? i have a very simple script that when loaded, should execute the two programs simultaneously. the problem, however, is that the second program executes only after the first program has been manually terminated. http://pastebin.com/d79b09c81 [18:14] jimcooncat, no new hardware except the hard drive, does it fix grub to work? [18:15] shaffy: do stardict & [18:15] Will__: is this a regular i386 computer? got RAM? [18:15] macd, I've tried, no help. and I don't use both at the same time, sorry if I expressed myself badly [18:15] jimcooncat, yeah i386 with 1GB of RAM. [18:15] i am outta thnx guys for everythin for now LhiQure and the rest [18:16] Hello [18:16] I got a problem with gnome. :( [18:16] kristjan_eerik, other than verifying you in your bios enable usb mouse or whatever, no idea [18:16] putterson: if you use LVM partitions, you'd need sfdisk that's on the system recscue cd. otherwise, see the website and docs on using partimage. You'll probably need to burn two cd's to do this -- I had to. [18:16] !ask | titanix88 [18:16] titanix88: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [18:17] Will__: So what happens when you try to install? [18:17] Slart: thank you very much! [18:17] My first time in this chan.... are most of you users or also developers? [18:17] shaffy: you're welcome [18:17] WahbeN: users [18:17] every time i logout, my theme resets. But in the appearance menu my selection remains selected. [18:17] WahbeN: some developers too.. but mostly users, afaik [18:17] neat! well so am i [18:17] .. user i mean [18:18] macd, okay thanks. also I don't seem to see any messages in dmesg from my tv-card, however I do see it via lspci [18:18] jimcooncat, it installs fine, and when done goes to that screen that ejects my disk then I have to close the tray and press enter, then my system reboots. Then it reboots with a black screen with white text that says "Missing operating system". [18:19] jimcooncat, it goes to the computer's main screen first then that text. [18:19] putterson: System Rescue CD is a live CD, so you can boot both computers with it and use partimage to move the partitions across. [18:19] i need help to set up sound card on my notebook.... im desperd!!! [18:19] every time i logout, my theme resets. But in the appearance menu my selection remains selected. Any help? [18:20] Will__: I'm at my end here, but you have one of: MBR problem, BIOS problem, or GRUB problem. [18:20] jimcooncat, I'm not sure you understand my dilema. I just got a new hard drive and I want to move everything to the new one and be able to take out the old one. Will system rescue cd do that? [18:20] i just installed the quake wars demo but cant find it in the directory or the games list, any ideas? [18:20] anyone have a quick second for a general linux question? [18:21] putterson: yes, but you could use an Ubuntu live cd for that as well. Sorry, I thought it was two computers. [18:21] RandallG: YEs. :) [18:21] jimcooncat, I know it's not the disk because I did a check on it in the CD's boot screen, and everything was in there, [18:21] Hello [18:22] i ssh into a box at work, is there a way i can kill/restart tty1? [18:22] putterson: you can use dd for that -- sorry I don't know the syntax [18:22] RandallG: ps aux | grep tty [18:22] get the pid, kill -9 it [18:22] jimcooncat, I think I need help fixing the bootloader and it is a somewhat special case so I can't find any guides on it. Could you help? [18:22] i just installed the quake wars demo but cant find it in the directory or the games list, any ideas? [18:22] putterson: that is, boot the live cd and copy the partitions using dd [18:22] Kane1: sudo updatedb; locate quake [18:23] Kane1: find / -name quake* [18:23] jimcooncat, would it be good to just find some sort of program that could wipe my hard drive, and then I could try to re-install Ubuntu? [18:23] hi, what was the command, which retrive my all shell varibales [18:23] ? [18:23] AliRezaTaleghani: env ? [18:23] AliRezaTaleghani: set [18:23] cool, thanks all. [18:23] I need Help. I have a server wich i give hosting so i need to fix this fast anyway. We just had a power outage that had knocked out one of my netowkr cards So i replaced it and now Ubuntu wont boot it hangs on the process Avhi-daemon. Then after a Few Min it gives some error messages I dont knwo what to do can nay one help me? (: [18:23] every time i logout, my theme resets. But in the appearance menu my selection remains selected. Any ideas? [18:23] Slart: yea, tnx :) [18:23] Will__: the partitioner can wipe your disk for you === Ubuntu is now known as Kresten [18:24] putterson: what's strange about your bootloader? [18:24] jimcooncat, can you walk me through this? [18:24] Will__: just get the 'wipe' utility [18:24] and do wipe /dev/sda or whatever is your harddrive from a live cd [18:24] wipe is a bit overkill if you just want a clean hard drive for a reinstall.. [18:24] Will__: I'm sorry, I can't be liable ... [18:24] but sure.. it will work =) [18:24] Slart: he can use the Gedit LiveCD as well [18:25] which has a nice GUI and stuff [18:25] jimcooncat, well when I switch the drives the bootloader points to the wrong places [18:25] slart/crobian, i updated db and its still not in the directory or games list, i dont kno the name of the file so how can i use locate or find? [18:25] Kane1: locate quake [18:25] Kane1: aptitude show quake [18:25] check if it's installed [18:25] <\kG> hey can anyone explain or point me to some documentation on the encryption ubuntu uses for setting up the encrypted lvm [18:25] Kane1: or check in synaptic where it installs files [18:25] jimcooncat, actually I may have just solved my problem [18:25] putterson: it's starting GRUB, but the configuration isn't working? [18:26] could someone tell me the commands to forn a net connection using my wired ethernet, and the commands to close any wireless connections I can see with iwconfig? all these gui programs are pieces of crap that cant do sh!t right [18:26] jimcooncat, but you helped me understand what was wrong [18:26] Can someone help ? [18:26] <\kG> does anyone know how secure the encrypted lvm is and or what encryption algos are used? [18:26] putterson, let me know if it worked please [18:26] \kG: AES and others probably [18:26] it's pretty secure i'd say [18:26] it's using LUKS/dm-crypt [18:26] <\kG> i was tryin to google docs on it had no luck [18:27] TornadoChas3r: you might get some answers if you include the error message in your question [18:27] I did [18:27] google for LUKS/dm-crypt and you'll find stuff [18:27] Greetings! [18:27] i will say it again [18:27] <\kG> crobian ; do u have FULL harddisk encryption? [18:27] scroll up [18:27] \kG: you can get it full, yes [18:27] without the /boot partition of course [18:27] <\kG> yessir [18:27] <\kG> thats what im looking for [18:27] you can mount that read-only, or put it on a usb stick or something if you're paranoid [18:27] Will__: are you dual booting? [18:27] Just finished setting up a new box with a fresh install of 8.04.1 and am working to get Rails installed [18:27] and it's even tighter [18:27] jimcooncat, no, not trying to,. [18:28] I had to replace Netowkr Card in My Server Which i was for hosting Now ubuntu wont boot it hang on the process avahi-daemon Can someone help [18:28] <\kG> i was lookin at truecrypt but u need to format the drive ur encrypting so im not sure what will happen ill have to reinstall ubuntu? [18:28] \kG: probably :) there is chances your drive wont work after though :) [18:28] slart/crobian, unable to loacate package quake [18:28] Kane1: how did you install the game ? [18:28] getting an error message on apt-get install ruby-full per the ubuntu site [18:28] \kG-> why not try it and give us some insights of your experience afterwards? [18:29] TornadoChas3r: I will say it again. tell us what the error messages are or we won't be able to help you [18:29] Will__: maybe just give the install another shot? would be easiest way to reformat the partitions [18:29] :) again , Question || how can i install an old version gcc (ex:2.6.3) with apt-get? [18:29] i did chmod +x filename and then ./filename [18:29] E: Couldn't find package ruby-full [18:29] Can someone tell me what the windows room is on IRC? [18:29] AdrianStrays: ##windows [18:29] Thanks [18:29] <\kG> amenado ; i dont really want to have to reformat again i doubt that it will work i mean if i format everything but /boot im obviously going to have to reinstall the OS and that prob wont work anyways [18:29] anybody know what the prob might be? [18:29] jimcooncat, it would be useless. i've tried it too many times now. [18:29] AliRezaTaleghani: isnt there a force option for apt ? [18:29] i know rpm has that [18:29] <[Revamped]> Adrian : i dont think you will find any windows room here [18:30] crobian: i don't know, this is what i look for [18:30] \kG well you seem to be reluctant, then why keep asking same questions over and over, you have to take a first man [18:30] step* [18:30] AliRezaTaleghani: do 'aptitude' then [18:30] and read the options [18:30] irc is rather a big object asking like that [18:30] Will__: a computer has more patience than we do lol [18:30] I need to get this back up fast lol [18:31] <\kG> was just curious if anyone might have any other suggestions for encryption .... i might just end up dual booting with xp so i can get full disk pgp encryption [18:31] Will__: so it appears to install, but it goes badly when it tries to boot. Do I understand that right? [18:31] Kane1: check in the documentation that came with the demo.. or check the creators site.. it has to be there somewhere [18:31] \kG go ahead and try it, whats holding you? [18:31] jimcooncat, yes [18:31] \kG: you cant use PGP WDE [18:31] which one of thesewill shut off my wireless connection on eth1 named 'default': iwconfig default off iwconfig eth1 off ive got the syntax wrong somehow on each one though, it tels me 'off' is an unknown comand [18:31] crobian, and i tried to install a second time in the same directory and it said the files were already there [18:31] anybody know why 'apt-get install ruby-full...' would fail with a 'Couldn't find package ruby-full'? [18:31] not with a linux dual-boot environment [18:31] crobian: all them are newer that 2.95 | i need oldest one (2.6.3) :( [18:31] Does that mean the repository's down? [18:32] <\kG> crobian PGP WDE? [18:32] whole disk encryption [18:32] zoreau-> default is not the name of your nic [18:32] Will__: so what happens when it tries, just a black screen? anything at all happen? [18:32] jimcooncat, my friend is helping me to re-format my main partition to NTFS, as it's not that format now and that is restricting me from re-installing windows [18:32] <\kG> yes u can crobian [18:32] i'm in a big mess myself right now, trying to get a dual-boot encrypted setup running [18:32] amenado: use eth1 then? and what is nic?? [18:32] i have a fully encrypted ubuntu install [18:32] <\kG> i have it on my desktop ... [18:32] I had to replace a network acrd in my server and now it wont boot [18:32] ok [18:32] zoreau-> network interface card [18:32] trying to figure out how to encrypt everything from windows and be able to use it from both OS's [18:33] <\kG> pgp asks for password than the ubuntu bootloader loads after u enter pass crobian [18:33] TrueCrypt might be a solution, but it wants to format each volume [18:33] \kG: have you tried it ? [18:33] <\kG> it works on my desktop [18:33] hmm..so it doesnt require chainloading ? [18:33] (modifying grub) [18:33] <\kG> no i didnt have it [18:34] TornadoChas3r-> what kind of errors if any? [18:34] it's great to hear that i guess [18:34] because i have a pgp license anyway [18:34] <\kG> i used partition magic to create 2 extra partions for my swap and / and it works fine on boot asks for pgp passphase than if correct nix bootloader loads [18:34] amenado:it hangs on the process avahi-daemon thne after it gives me a bunch of errors [18:35] are you able to use the windows partitions from the linux install ? [18:35] <\kG> that i have not tried. [18:35] i could send u a picture if u want to see [18:35] it'd be great if you'd try it [18:35] in theory it should decrypt the whole drive [18:35] the syntax of iwconfig is: interface essid {NNN|any|on|off} the interface essid is eth1 then?? 'iwconfig' says ESSID:'default' next to eth1--what exactly is this the essid of then?? [18:35] how do i tell mdadm to re-examine a disk that it has stopped using because the controller died? [18:35] howto fix this error: "SoftMac wx_set_mlme: we should know the net here" [18:35] <\kG> its on the fly encryption so it should work fine. [18:35] yep [18:36] it'd be nice if it worked as you say, because i can have 2 layers of encryption then [18:36] 1 from dm-crypt/LUKS and 1 from PGP [18:36] <\kG> u have dm crypt for linux partitions? [18:37] yes [18:37] i do [18:37] <\kG> in theory u wouldnt need it. [18:37] yeah true [18:37] but i've got it set up already [18:37] and it makes me feel more secure [18:37] crobian: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:37] zoreau, What are you trying to do? [18:38] shut off my wireless manually [18:38] zoreau, sudo ifconfig interface down [18:38] amenado: Is this a big problem to fix ? [18:38] zoreau, By just typing iwconfig you can find out what interface it is. [18:38] interface == what? the eth1 name?? [18:38] <\kG> crobrian ; how did u acomlish encrypting everything but /boot with dm crypt [18:39] what do I need to do to use rsync to automatically sync a directory on my server with a directory on my desktop? [18:39] Is 8.04 extraordinary sluggish as an operating system? [18:39] Hi I was wondering about the need for a swap drive. I have a Sempron with a gig of ram. Will I really ever need a swap drive and if so how big? [18:39] zoreau, Yes... eth0, eth1, wlan0, ath0, etc [18:39] My old P4 laptop can't seems to handle it as fast as it could with 6.10 === Syntux_ is now known as Syntux [18:39] TornadoChas3r-> ethernet right not wireless? [18:40] Ahadiel_: it tell me 'unknown command 'down'" [18:40] tells** [18:40] Is there anything I could do to speed up the default installation? [18:40] herro [18:40] LordMetroid I see a decrease in system speeds as I upgraded version to version as well on my laptops. [18:40] zoreau, Show me what exactly you typed... [18:40] anyone super familiar with wine and its inner workings? [18:40] amednado: Yes [18:40] iwconfig eth1 down [18:40] how do i tell mdadm to re-examine a disk that it has stopped using, and re-add it? [18:40] nosto, #winehq [18:40] ty! [18:40] zoreau, I just told you to use ifconfig [18:40] zoreau, sudo ifconfig eth1 down [18:41] hah my bad [18:41] TornadoChas3r-> can you paste your /etc/network/interfaces contents, then also ifconfig -a; and /etc/resolv.conf [18:41] but isnt ifconfig for WIRED interfaces? ifconfig doesnt report any wireless connections [18:42] amenado: How am i going to get the file i can boot into ubuntu [18:42] zoreau-> nope, it can be also used for wireless [18:42] zoreau: ifconfig shows all interfaces, wired or woreless [18:42] macd, the mouse started working when I turned the computer on its side.. [18:42] *wireless [18:42] zoreau, However you cannot set wireless specific things with ifconfig [18:42] <\kG> whats the cmd line cmd to see ur listed partitions [18:42] TornadoChas3r-> you can not boot at all? what did you say about sending a pics? can you paste that? [18:42] \kG, sudo fdisk -l [18:43] amenado: i ment with a camera lol [18:43] <\kG> ahadiel_ ; ty [18:43] amenado [18:43] TornadoChas3r-> can not boot at all? what errors is displayed? [18:43] amenado, if anyone barges in with nvidia driver problems, point them to me ;) [18:43] Well it fisrt hangs on the process avahi-daemon [18:43] how can I set gnome as default while logged in?

[18:44] not gnome! [18:45] Help me figure out why compiz stopped working? [18:45] wamty: First of all, in the login screen, there should be options in the lower left corner. In the Select Session screen, you can set Gnome as default. [18:45] amednado: yes [18:45] should I do all this: sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [18:46] bobertdos: tried that, doesn't work [18:46] hey guys, dspam doesn't start when rebooting...but i see it listed as S21dspam in my rc2.d and when i run it manually it works ...any ideas why it doesn't startup on reboot ? [18:46] wamty: The default session is usually chosen from the login manager, as bobertdos just pointed out. No real way to "switch it on the fly" or so from inside [18:46] TornadoChas3r-> please do and then if you can tell me the errors.. [18:46] There are a lot [18:46] amenado: Could i send u a picture of the screen Or shoudl i type of out the errors? [18:46] TornadoChas3r-> can you try to boot using liveCD? [18:47] wamty: Well, if you don't already have Gnome installed, of course it won't work. So yes, if you want to uninstall KDE and install Gnome instead, you can certainly do that. [18:47] amenado: i dont have live cd its ubuntu server [18:47] do I need all this: [18:47] sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [18:47] TornadoChas3r-> if the picture is good enuff for us to view in a web site ..go ahead and paste it [18:47] should I upgrade to Hardy Heron? I'm using Gutsy [18:47] amenado: ok give me a min [18:48] wamty: You want to do the install ubuntu-desktop first, then the removal of kubuntu-desktop after that [18:48] TornadoChas3r-> i know its a server, am wondering though if it works okay with a liveCD..just to kind check things out [18:48] * octal is away: [18:48] ubuntu-desktop should already be installed ? [18:48] Anyone know a fix to flickering that happens after waking up from a suspend in Hardy? [18:48] sliverchair: if everything works for you there's no real need to update.. but sure.. if you want to use the latest and greatest then go ahead and update [18:48] or do I need to install it? [18:48] whats the best media player for ubuntu? [18:48] wamty: If you have no Gnome then ubuntu-desktop is not yet installed [18:49] This is damn slow...

[18:56] Shish_: I had that too.. but lately it seems to work ok.. are you installing screenlets from the screenlets repository? [18:56] sliverchair-> you have to remove the old one and then install a new firefox [18:56] like this: [18:56] "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" [18:56] malgrado abbia tentato d'installare la mia lexmark cosi come descritto nei vari forum e avendo scaricato i driver per la medesima non riesco a scompattare il file .rpm nemmeno installando alien che tra l'altro non completa tutta la procedura d'installazione [18:56] rispondimi in pvt grazie [18:56] hou5ton-> what kind of indications you get that your wireless card is even detected?

[18:58] hou5ton-> okay, go open a terminal and lets do things manually.. start with iwconfig wlan0 [18:58] amenado: hope ya got the picture lol [18:58] yes from the repository.. i add the calendar, calculator,etc.. hit the f9 key, they show up.. then i restart my comp and hit the f9 key and nothins there.. just a dimmed screen... ive checked the start at login option.. but still nothin' [18:59] amenado: no such device [18:59] TornadoChas3r-> am looking at it, is that where it gets stucked? [18:59] Shish_: huh.. what is the F9 key supposed to do? [18:59] sorry, thats the hotkey assigned to show all the widgets on screenlets [18:59] amenado: yes it just keeps displaying the same error over and over lol [18:59] that i add [19:00] hou5ton-> oh try these commands with sudo at the beginning.. sudo iwconfig wlan0 am asuming the nic name is wlan0 to find out type ifconfig -a [19:00] Shish_: ah.. what version of screenlets are you running? [19:00] hmmmm [19:00] 0.1.2 [19:00] Shish_: you are talking about these, right? http://www.screenlets.org/index.php/Information [19:00] TornadoChas3r-> thats the only nic card you have? do you know if its working before? [19:00] hi! is there a way to install ubuntu with 2.1 GB HD space? I don't want to install xubuntu because its filemanager cant mount samba servers and i am used to gnome and kde. [19:01] slart: exactly, not all of them, lol, but those are the ones im talkin bout [19:01] Shish_: same version that I have here then.. I don't have any problems so far with this version.. [19:01] I have soft raid 1 and lvm. I need help config/install for grub... [19:01] amenado: still says no such device .... ifconfig -a gives two listings with data: eth0 and lo [19:01] pidginuser1-> seems to little space, [19:01] slart: hmm... k... thanks [19:01] amenado: Well i had one it got fried when the power went out or it stoped working so i put another one i had it or i put 2 in booted it up and it froze on splash screen Then i did the recovery and this is where it hangs [19:01] the HD is just too small. i can't change it because its not my pc [19:02] hou5ton-> and with ifconfig command does it list eth0 as wireless? [19:02] Shish_: one thing you could try is to totally remove your screenlets installation "sudo apt-get remove --purge screenlet.*" and try reinstalling [19:02] Shish_: but there's no guarantee it will work better [19:02] amenado: eth0 is the cable internet access [19:02] amenado, reinstalling firefox won't do. How do I kill firefox process? [19:03] slart: no i understand, thanks.. could i just do it through the repository? the complete removal? [19:03] TornadoChas3r-> nic card are dirt cheap now, you may have to go out and grab another, btw again try with liveCD if possible to just spot check [19:03] Shish_: if you installed the software using the repos it can be uninstalled using the repos [19:03] sliverchair-> ps aux|grep firefox and once you find the pidnumber kill -15 pidnumber [19:03] amenado: ya i will try but there are two it does it with i replaced it with one more and it wont boot i will try it with them both out [19:03] slart: perfect, yea thats what i did.. thanks again, appreciate the patience and help!

[19:22] amenado: the driver is the issue, I think. I can't get a driver to work for it. [19:23] amenado: http://tornadochas3r.biz i am sure i can get u a simple site u can use [19:23] TornadoChas3r-> okay, just a basic web where lets say i get a url from scriblink, and then i tell the kid to visit your site after i paste the url there so he can then copy it to his browser and we can then work on a tutorial [19:23] does 8.04 runs ootb on a eeepc? [19:23] I am compiling a lot of stuff for myself and I am creating DEB for each of them for better reinstallation after a format, is there any "official" place where and could host and share them with the community so then could be easily found by mambers/users ?!?!

[19:24] Hello I recently installed 8.04 (were a ubuntu 7.1 before) and suddenly I can't watch anime anymore, but I still go the codexes, someone know what I should install more? [19:24] jager: you mean selecting the frequencey for the cpu? my laptop does that even on battery [19:24] Chousuke : Yes I am using checkinstall, why ? [19:25] TornadoChas3r-> i will try to get my other box out of the shed, btw just curious, are you using virtualization for these services? [19:25] cygoku: then you shouldn't share your debs. [19:25] cygoku: they won't work properly on other machines. [19:25] i'd like it to jump to 800mhz on battery instead of being at 2400 all the time [19:25] Chousuke : Oh, why ? [19:25] cygoku: checkinstall is a hack to make local installs a bit more manageable. [19:25] ameando: no. when i host people its on a shared server [19:25] what app does that or you slart? [19:25] cygoku: it's not intended for making proper debian packages. [19:25] i don't see it in the power management preferences [19:26] jager: well.. hang on.. let me check.. it might have done that since the install.. not sure if I had to install anything [19:26] hi [19:26] unop, are you free right now? If you are not, don't worry. [19:26] TornadoChas3r-> ah okay, thanks, i'll let you know when i have someone i need to tutor..

[19:26] cottima, i am somewhat - still struggling with grub? [19:26] Chousuke : I dunno whats wrong, if I can easily reinstall them myself, why wouldn't they work on other hardy heron 32 bit machine ?!?! [19:27] xidryck: i think its a hidden folder in the Home Area [19:27] xidryck, rm -rf ~/.wine [19:27] ya lol [19:27] cygoku: they lack dependency information, and may be specifically optimised for your machine. [19:27] unop> is that in the terminal? [19:27] Chousuke : I can learn, what should I use then ? [19:27] xidryck, yes [19:27] umop> terminal command? [19:27] that will remove every wine folder xidryck [19:27] thanks [19:28] you might just go into that folder in a file manager an poke around [19:28] hou5ton-> you have gutsy or hardy? [19:28] heh [19:28] Hardy [19:28] unop, yeah. I can wait though. Is there suppose to be /boot/grub/grub.conf? [19:28] cottima: no, /boot/grub/menu.lst [19:28] If anyone can give me a hand with my wireless I would appreciate it. I've been working on htis for 12 hours [19:29] cottima, not anymore no [19:29] amenado: the interesting thing is, a friend installed 8.0 on a laptop just like this one, and it worked for him out of the box, giving him an option to install the windows driver. I installed 8.0.1 and did not have that option. [19:29] cygoku: building proper debian packages requires you to be comfortable with build systems (usually autoconf), but if you want to learn, look here: http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ [19:29] amenado: I have attempted to install the windows driver for XP and 98, but it won't accept either. [19:29] hou5ton-> umm 8.04 perhaps? [19:29] hello [19:29] amenado: ya [19:30] btw, what is bterm? [19:30] Chousuke : Thank you. [19:30] how can i see up and down sides of 3d cube?

[19:31] xidryck, errm, uninstall wine i suppose if you want to do it the easy way [19:31] Is it true that Ubuntu doesn't support intel 64-bit? [19:31] amenado: nothing has worked [19:31] jager: I just looked through my list of installed software and I didn't find anything specific.. [19:31] dual: No [19:31] unop> i already unistall it [19:31] perhaps powernowd makes it work transparently now [19:31] i had never heard of that [19:31] hou5ton-> oh well..i cant do majic myself :P [19:31] dual: AMD64 is the arch you're looking for for 64 bit [19:31] xidryck, then it should disappear the next time you log on (i hope) [19:31] amenado: it was suggested to just reinstall the older version that worked, and then upgrade. ??? [19:32] unop> its not [19:32] jager: I have the package powernowd installed though [19:32] hey, I have a problem with networking, it works, until I download something big (bigger than 25 mb), then it just stops, no more packets are getting outside, and I can't ping the PC. There are no entries in dmesg. I tried to run the kernel with acpi and apic off, but it didn't help. Do you have any suggestions?

[19:35] xidryck, sudo aptitude install fluxbox [19:35] hou5ton-> thats because the manufacturers dont provide info on their chips, [19:35] Slart: Yes, there was the kernel update.....and my graphics drivers WERE included with the update. [19:35] xidryck, to use it you'll need to change the session in the login manager [19:35] cottima> how can i get to edit menus? [19:35] Slart: COuld the new graphics drivers be the problem? [19:36] xidryck, right-click on the application menu, then edit menus [19:36] amenado: then why did it work with a previous ubuntu release? [19:36] TSchultz55: might be.. hard to diagnose without some kind of error message [19:36] xidryck, if you are looking for something featureful or pretty, fluxbox doesn't address those requirements [19:36] Slart: Fresh Hardy install, so SSH isn't installed yet. I'm kinda screwed [19:36] anyone know which package for mono contains ilasm? i have as much runtime and dev tools as i can find and no ilasm :/ [19:36] hey HappyHater [19:36] now it's at: Setting up language-support-translations-en (1:8.04+20080407) ...

[19:37] TSchultz55: it's odd that the safe graphics mode didn't kick in though [19:37] meteoroid, courtesy packages.ubuntu.com [19:37] ugh. this is the WORST Ubuntu upgrade I've EVER experienced.......... [19:37] amenado: like ... use this laptop for a paperweight or something. [19:37] bj_, try the 'sudo apt-get update, and upgrade' and try installing it again [19:37] unop: thanks, i'll fish for myself next time ;) [19:37] Slart: ooooo it did it this time........... [19:37] xidryck, you're welcome! Only if I knew how to build profiles and skeletons. [19:37] TSchultz55: anything to do with locales? [19:37] unop> if i install fluxbox i can always go back to gnome, right? [19:38] meteoroid, :) or you can use dpkg -S filename at a terminal [19:38] hou5ton-> did you have the rtl driver in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless ? [19:38] TSchultz55: wow.. that's computer predictability and logic for you =) [19:38] xidryck, you can have several dozen window managers/desktopps installed. the GDM screen has a 'sessions' menu to pick the one you wish to use [19:38] dr_willis still the same error [19:38] mik3: I reformatted :( my box was hosed beyond repair. This is a fresh hardy install [19:38] xidryck yes, just keep gdm at startup [19:38] amenado: didn't see it [19:38] mik3: I reformatted :( my box was hosed beyond repair.

[19:38] xidryck, sure -- you can also use fluxbox with gnome too [19:38] hou5ton nothing in that dir that starts with rtl* ? [19:38] TSchultz55: oh that sucks it wasn't because of being frozen on updating locales was it? that's what I'm in the middle of. [19:38] dr_willis> thanks for the info [19:38] amenado: let me check again. [19:39] mik3: yes, it froze at Locales [19:39] well wtf [19:39] xidryck, 'openbox' is similer to fluxbox, and it installs a 'openbox/gnome' session in the sessions menu also. [19:39] we can't be the only 2 having this problem [19:39] mik3: I had to hard reboot, and it was in limbo between Feisty and Hardy and was completely messed up [19:39] oh man [19:40] mik3: dont bail on it yet.... give it time............how long have u been waiting [19:40] I need help getting tv out to work on my s3 supersavage card [19:40] well originally i waited like 30 minutes it seemed [19:40] dr_willis> do you have a link for how-to's on that GDM thing? [19:40] but now i've been killing it and killing it but it keeps respawning [19:40] amenado: there is a rtl8187.ko [19:40] xidryck, what howto? :) the desktops normally add theor own entry. You can always make custome entries. [19:40] HappyHater said he killed localedef when it first hung but now it did it again and a kill won't stop it [19:41] oh shit mik3 that's what happened to me [19:41] DUDE [19:41] hou5ton-> try to load that sudo modprobe -i rtl8187 and see if it works [19:41] BACKUP EVERYTHING NOW [19:41] Does anyone know if there is a config file that stores information about your gnome panel?

[21:52] kallie: server console only runs in a gui.. if you use beta vs 2.x you can access it with Firefox from any machine as long as you use the right ip and port number on the address line.. to add a gui to the server .. do you like XFCE? gnome or kde?

[21:54] for training mostly [21:54] yay, i fixed it so i can boot [21:54] i may eventually use it in production [21:54] kallie: I'm running beta version 2.x.x RC1 and it works great.. I can access my win2kpro install from any machine with Firefox..

[21:56] uh [21:56] you can definitely use a locally-run console and connect to a remote vmware serverd with 1.x.x [21:56] hmm === Tweek is now known as MightyTweek [21:56] and I believe there IS a web-interface available for 1.x.x [21:56] CoolTrainer_Doug: go back to the thread.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=409247 then go bck to that modprobe list, and see if the items are there.

That was one of the problems I ran into [21:57] there is no vmware console for mac that I'm aware of [21:57] Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/28805/ [21:57] OOPS [21:57] ignore that [21:57] Scunizi: I do it on WinXP Pro all the time [21:57] pembo13: regarding the AR242x wifi card read post #7 i guess the AR242x is actually AR5007 http://ph.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=766529 [21:57] kallie: thus version 2 beta comes to the rescue [21:57] and I really doubt there's a material difference between Home/Pro in that respect [21:57] sayotte: XP pro works because it comes with IIS.. the home version doesn't [21:58] legend2440: yah got that far [21:58] indeed, sounds like vmware server v2 is some cool stuff [21:58] MooCow: have you not remembered how many times we reminded you of !enter last night?

[21:59] Scunizi: the console is packaged separately from the server daemon, you're telling me the console requires IIS even if you aren't going to be connecting to a local server daemon? [21:59] MooCow: And... that works. What's the problem? [21:59] sayotte: yep. so says all the help at #vmware and other sources. [21:59] It dosent start up when i put it in the sessions starter [21:59] fair enough... dumb as @#)( but what else is new [22:00] sayotte: that's why there're working on version 2.. to get rid of some of those limitations and include Mac.. lots more flexibility.. [22:00] If I put the code in the session starter, should it work? And start the script? [22:00] and now .. .stoopid 2.0beta's web console is being a serious POS [22:00] constant timeouts, keeps bumping me back to the login screen [22:00] je parle francais [22:01] !fr | magetfab [22:01] magetfab: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[22:01] MooCow: That's a separate problem entirely. Please be specific when mentioning problems. The problem isn't that the command doesn't work, but that it might not be working as a session thing. [22:01] is a vmware console for mac in the works? [22:01] Scunizi: you're on hardy? [22:01] Ok...

[22:02] yeah, downloaded it earlier today [22:02] hey guys, I need to install a nvidia driver and it tells me I need to exit x, how do I do this? [22:02] ... downloading the WinXP installer as well in case this completely fails === beaver is now known as dsqdq [22:03] or in a better case, I can use the native binary console at least [22:03] dav1: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop ? === dsqdq is now known as synaptic [22:03] dav1, How are you installing the driver? I suggest you use either System => Preferences => Hardware Drivers, or install envyng-gtk [22:03] sayotte: I did run into a problem on the initial install with access to the console and had to reinstall adding my login name as administrator.. "root" for uname wouldn't work.

[22:31] CaBlGuY Yes, dont bother [22:31] !minimal [22:31] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [22:32] CaBlGuY or try xubuntu [22:32] Hey Jack_Sparrow *waves* what are his options? [22:32] or upgrade your ram.. a PC that old, you can probably buy 512mb of ram on Ebay for $20 [22:32] OK, now how do I make the login screen a lower resolution (e.g. 1024x768)? [22:32] CaBlGuY look up [22:32] *reads* [22:33] CaBlGuY: You need the alternate CD to install [22:33] Flannel: or the minimal CD image..

[22:35] Flannel: yeah, i still think just hopping on ebay and getting ram for it would be best.. could probably be done very cheap, I got ram for an old box I have, and upgraded it from 256, to 1gig, for $24 [22:35] IndyGunFreak Big difference between will it run, and it it useable on an everyday system [22:35] Any ideas? If you have, please tell me and we will be best friends from there after. [22:35] Jack_Sparrow: yea i figure it would run.. i'm just not sure if it would be tolerable.

[22:41] Dr_willis: and now usplash kills and goes to a terminal just a few seconds before finishing ever since i did cnt+alt+f1 [22:41] CaBlGuY: well, ram on old systems, can be had very cheap on Ebay, i'd look there, and max it out. [22:41] Jack_Sparrow, but are you sure it's my monitor? I don't think so, i just keep getting low-grafics mode [22:41] But it sounds like you started doing 'weird' things.. so i cant guess at the state your system is in.

If that's insufficient, 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' [23:21] LordMetroid: no swearing please [23:21] Yeah I had to type in the root password to unlock the user management tool.

After that it listed no users, but it was unlocked (unlock button was checked and greyed out) [23:22] soundray its working now, i had to update source list (backed up first) [23:22] rixth: egrep '550|421' filename [23:23] does someone have an idea what to do after installing 8.04. and getting "non-system disk, press any key" when grub should be loading? ubuntu installed on usb stick as well as grub [23:23] harpreet: I told you to update the sources list, and you said you had [23:24] sdtr443w: you don't use a root password on Ubuntu [23:24] Gah you know what I mean [23:24] The security password for doing sudo work [23:24] soundray, i meant i just did now through software sources, when you said [23:24] soundray, what I want to pipe in data from tail -f?

Historically, it's 'advanced package tool' [23:25] when i put my password in sudo and hit enter terminal goes to a new line insted of sudo [23:25] Yes the password worked so much as it took the list of groups that were gray and made them black, but no users were listed.

It worked before (ubuntu, latest version) but I guess the drivers went corrupt (pc would freeze at nvidia splash screen and had static lines or noise running all over it). I go to the add/remove program and select the restricted drivers, restart the machine, but I still can't get the drivers to work. Any help please?

[23:48] I restarted, w/ the CD in, and was going to go through the install process again to make sure everything was set up correctly the first time. when I got to the partition section of the install, i saw that everything looked good [23:48] kriss, ok, thanks for trying [23:48] hi all [23:48] the new HD had an NTFS partition, an ext3, and a swap partition...so I cancelled the install and it went ahead and booted into kubuntu, where I am now [23:48] but, i don't know if I'm running off the cd or the hd...how can I tell?
