[00:01] n-iCe: You'll need the alternate CD to install. But once installed, it'll run [00:01] * Flannel stops stepping on Odd-rationale's toes.

[00:02] i will try [00:02] brb [00:02] So I read from google searching, soundray, but surely I can get better results than what I am currently getting. [00:02] Can anyone help me Upgrade pidgin... ? [00:02] Flannel:cuz what i noticed that output wasnt really right [00:03] cvx, i still use one [00:03] Intelli: I've played with tesseract and got reasonable result from it when I fed it a plain text page without fancy stuff like embedded pictures ;) [00:03] DeRoXX getdeb.net if you are trying to fix irc [00:03] legend2440: I mean making sure you the option to play a sounds is enabled :) [00:03] icq [00:03] Chad: Is Visual Effects set to Extra?

[00:04] Khisanth: yes when i click Play button they play fine. bit on shutdown or reboot nothing. Startup sound plays fine [00:05] ndo: no, you need commas in between each group. adm,dialout,cdrom,...

[00:06] in Xfce, on the title bar what does the stick button in the upper left do? [00:06] Chad: Well, is it the Ubuntu restricted driver you're using? [00:06] legend2440: iirc, the reason you don't have shutdown sounds is that ubuntu now shutsdown too fast before the sounds gets to play... [00:06] what's the difference between tee, echo >>, and cat >> ? [00:06] bobertdos, no im using the radeon driver [00:06] hiptobecubic^: tee -a is the same as >>, tee is > [00:06] legend2440: it started since gutsy, i beleive... [00:06] Flannel: "usermod -G adm,dialout,cdrom,floppy,audio,dip,video,plugdev,lpadmin,scanner,admin -a ndo" like that? [00:06] Chad: the binary from ATI?

[00:06] Odd-rationale: oh ok thanks [00:06] ndo: yes [00:06] boertdos: it's the only driver Odd-rationale and I could get to work [00:07] Flannel, so nothing? [00:07] ok, i'ma try boot on the non-ACPI computer and see where exactly it stalls [00:07] Flannel: ok good brb [00:07] *where it stalls exactly [00:07] bobertdos: how do i do that? [00:07] bobertdos: no. the open source ati drivers... [00:07] hiptobecubic^: Well, "tee" allows you to sudo it [00:07] hiptobecubic^: but other than that, right. nothing. [00:07] you can't sudo cat or echo? [00:08] Odd-rationale: That's what I thought. His card is new enough where the ATI binary may be the only way to go. I don't know if we dare even go there though :p [00:08] hiptobecubic^: you can, but the redirection won't be sudo'd (as the calling shell handles it) [00:08] hey does ubuntu include dd_rescue [00:08] bobertdos: are you thinking envyng?

[00:11] hiptobecubic^, or. sudo sh -c "foo >> bar" [00:11] Chad: Please don't take this the wrong way, but Odd-rationale and I know what needs to be done, but we're not sure we're ready to take you there :D [00:11] cj_: what's the question? [00:11] bobertdos cool, I think :-/ [00:11] hiptobecubic^, >> will try to create the file even before sudo is invoked and since that is done by your current user, your command could fail [00:11] Flannel: iguess its fixed, God bless you :) [00:11] thank you.

But i cannot seam to do it, using the connect to server application [00:12] unop, ok thank you [00:12] ndo, i guess you had to use commas there [00:12] ? [00:12] hey Chad, i gtg mow the lawn... hope you get some help! [00:12] unop: yes [00:12] Odd-rationale: I hope so to [00:12] please bare in mind, im a total linux noob and i use a gui [00:12] ndo, cool - does groups list all the right groups now? [00:12] Chad: It is a........delicate procedure, and the older the install of Ubuntu, the less likely it is to work properly. [00:13] If I install Ubuntu 6.06, will it update to the latest version?

[00:13] cj_: no problem [00:13] Ale1: but it's better to install 8.04 direct [00:14] soundray, in lieu of using an ORC program, what would be the best way to go about creating a readable, small PDF file? [00:14] hi in trying to install ubuntu 8.04, the dvd boots, says loading kernel, then then keeps rebooting.

[00:15] Anyone here know how to install GRUB on a MBR, etc, etc from a LiveCD? [00:15] anyone able to help with new video card? Just installed the nvidia 6200 and I cannot start X. I have tried the dpkg-reconfigure command and even tried to run xfix in recover mode...nothing seems to make X want to start. [00:15] ok maybe [00:15] jsheedy: tried 8.04.1 or 7.10 ? [00:15] !Grub [00:15] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[00:15] no problem [00:16] jsheedy: good luck ;) [00:16] Chad: open system>administration>hardware drivers is there a box there for ATI and if so is it checked? [00:16] Bobertdos: i have had ubuntu installed about 2 days now [00:16] Going on 2 years for me. [00:16] MuzikJunkie NOt the easiest way.. but.. http://pastebin.com/m49654db5 [00:16] bobertdos: and I'm also dual booting so if it does mess up I can always boot into windows [00:16] Bobertdos: also to get into Ubuntu in the first place he needs to have the Live CD in and to tell that to boot from the hard disk [00:17] kyncani:thanks [00:17] legend2440: no because im not using that driver [00:17] holy [00:18] wow [00:18] * sorin-mihai wonderful netsplit \:D/ [00:18] Jack_Sparrow: Think this will work? Is this risky? [00:18] MuzikJunkie No, it is just the binary driver for nvidia [00:18] Chad: so there is no box there at all? or its just not enabled? [00:18] What just happened with that mass exodous?? [00:18] !netsplit [00:18] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [00:19] Jack_Sparrow: Ok so I'll run through those 15 steps [00:19] legend2440: it's not enabled but its fine like that according to Odd [00:19] :) [00:19] Jack_Sparrow: actually, how can i DL the nvidia driver with no way to sign on? Another cpu? [00:20] MuzikJunkie I am working on writing a tutorial that will let you wget the driver [00:21] bb [00:21] ahh that's what I need...I do have another cpu here, will that work u think? [00:21] MuzikJunkie which card again.. [00:21] 6200? === Sad`Panda is now known as sad`panda [00:21] XFX GeForce 6200 AGP 512MB [00:22] MuzikJunkie if you have another pc or even livecd will let you get it and save to usb [00:23] Jack_Sparrow: I have a live cd, and another cpu. or I can install the old vid card and go that route...in the essence of not wasting yout time, which will be quickest? [00:24] Jack_Sparrow: Even the live CD does not boot with this card. [00:24] so my sound has just died. when I try to run speaker-test I get "ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave \n Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy". Is there a way to reset it? [00:25] lsof|grep snd [00:25] MuzikJunkie try livecd with noapic acpi=off options.. F6 at frist menu in order to enter those modifiers [00:25] anyone know what pulseaudio is good for? [00:25] i need to confirm my understanding of the /etc/resolv.conf file. if my server is accessible at some.domain.address.com, do i want "domain some.domain.address.com" or "domain address.com"? i presume the first? [00:26] Hrh [00:26] I just reinstalled grub, and it still fails to boot. [00:27] Jack_Sparrow: Starting Linux Kernel [00:27] I wonder if grub has something against my system... is there any easy way to install, like, lilo or something, with no access to the target system's OS? === beaver is now known as Beaver_ [00:27] groken: all resolv.conf is used for it name resolition mainly DNS [00:27] hey guys, when I make a bridge br0 (10.10.30.1), and add 2 interfaces to the bridge tap0 and eth0 (208.x.x.x), I can not use eth0 to connect to internet anymore.. how could I go around that? [00:27] Chad: well its up to you but i'm 99.9% sure that if you enable the ATI proprietary drivers you will be able to use compiz with no problem. you can alway uncheck the box and go back to the open source driver. i noticed in your xorg.conf it says Driver "radeon". i'm pretty sure that should say Driver "ati" but the proprietary fglrx drivers are very good in my experience. i have Radeon 9600 card [00:27] groken, that totally depends on how you want to resolve names that are not fully qualified. if you are looking up a host named foo, do you want it to be resolved to foo.some.domain.address.com or foo.address.com [00:28] legend2440: except when i enable them i can't boot ubuntu black screen at login [00:28] unop: i would want it to be foo.some.domain.address.com [00:28] I need some advice on VM's.. VMware won't install and function on one of my machines. I notice that virtualbox is in the repo's. Do I install virtualbox-ose & virt-manager to get it going? Also is the vm accessible from another machine on the same lan? [00:28] groken, right, then "domain some.domain.address.com" [00:28] chicox: OK, there are 3 programs using it. If I try closing them, could that work? [00:29] unop: perfect. thanks! and thanks kitche ! [00:29] Jack_Sparrow: After the loading bar completed, it looked like it was going to try and start X but then I got green and red flashing lines === sCOTTo_ is now known as sCOTTo [00:29] #ubuntu-pr [00:30] Jack_Sparrow: The CD is done reading and the lines are still wigging out [00:30] So, my terminal is messing up. When I open one it's blank, allows me to type, but no commands work. I can open a root terminal fine and it works properly. how can I fix it? [00:30] igorw, i suspect that it is because you have used a private IP address there 10.10.30.1 - private IP addresses cannot be used over the internet [00:30] chicox: nvm, it was okular causing the problem. Thanks for the help! [00:30] igorw, can you ping hosts on your LAN ok? [00:30] MuzikJunkie can you get to cli in your regular install [00:30] how do you enable wireless in ubuntu? [00:31] MuzikJunkie and are you running 32 bit [00:31] ubuntu doesn't see my broadcom wireless card [00:31] Jack_Sparrow: Only in recovery mode (root Shell) [00:31] i have network-manager installed [00:31] Jack_Sparrow: Yes 32 bit [00:31] groken: ah my mistake it's pretty much the same thing as search :) [00:31] MuzikJunkie get to a shell [00:31] Chad: if you follow Method 1 here it will work http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide [00:31] MuzikJunkie Lets see if we can do this [00:32] unop: i have a crazy firewall around me, and ping would not work. but when I try ping -I eth5 google.ca I get Destination Host Unreachable, [00:32] Jack_Sparrow: done [00:32] legend2440: tried that [00:33] unop: when i take down the br0 and remove tap0 and eth0 from the bridge, i can ping -I eth0 google.. err previous eth5=eth0 [00:33] Chad: ok [00:33] legend2440: bobertdos said he would help me out. he knows what the problem is, Thanks alot for your help though [00:33] igorw, well, is eth5 ever part of br0? [00:33] Chad: ok good luck [00:33] igorw, sorry sorry, i got ya [00:34] Jack_Sparrow: ready at the shell [00:34] unop, ya, when i put eth0 as part of the bridge I can not ping google, if i remove it then it works again [00:35] Can someone tell me what is the command for "show desktop" [i wanna add it to my AWN launcher] [00:35] igorw, if you attach an interface to a bridge, it becomes quite unusable by itself -- and since your bridge uses a private IP address, it is not surprising you cannot ping a host on the internet. [00:35] Hi all, got this question..I installed cairo-clock and I like it, is there any cairo or similar that shows a calendar with the day of today? [00:35] Andorea: Do you have the latest AWN where you can add the Show Desktop Applet? [00:35] Andorea; doesn't AWN have an applet for that? [00:35] igorw, what is eth0's address normally? when not part of the bridge? [00:35] i have the latest versioni believe, didn't know there is applet [00:36] it is 208.181.56.117 [00:36] i will try to find it, thank you~ [00:36] MuzikJunkie one sec [00:36] igorw, and tap0 ? [00:36] Andorea; i've actually switched to cairo-dock .. i'm enoying it much more [00:36] s/enoying/enjoying [00:36] i will try that one too then :) thanks [00:36] haven't given tap0 Ip, but i plan to give it either 10.10.30.1 or 10.10.30.2 (not sure if .1 will work, since br0 got that ip) [00:37] Andorea; you'll have to add a repo.. google for it. there is a howto.. i could give you a link if you like? [00:37] MuzikJunkie lets try this.. wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/173.14.05/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.05-pkg1.run [00:37] Jack_Sparrow: Ohh that is gonna take a while to type...here goes... [00:37] sometimes when i connect to this channel it says that KenBW2 is already taken. I set it as kenBW22 but when i log in there's no KenBW2. Why? [00:37] k [00:38] yes please :) [00:38] igorw, remove any ip addresses from eth0 and tap0, create the bridge and set the ip address of br0 to 208.181.56.117 (or if this address is not a static one, try updating it via dhcp) [00:38] Andorea; >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CairoDock [00:38] MuzikJunkie I will try to help but may need to leave soon [00:38] thanks :*** [00:38] unop: i get ya, and then I can have tap0 with local ip, that can use eth0 as gateway to the net [00:39] igorw, errm, you'll have to give br0 a secondary IP address - a private one [00:40] Jack_Sparrow: Does it matter if I am logged on as Root@hostname when i run this? [00:40] igorw, tap0 and eth0 go out of use when part of a bridge, administering them becomes a no-op when they are a part of a bridge [00:40] MuzikJunkie nope you will sudo if needed anyhow [00:40] whats a good desktop recording app? dosnt matter if it has a gui or not [00:40] MuzikJunkie: why ar eyou logged in as root [00:41] Is there an easy setting to find to switch over to an s video cable?

[01:27] WatchDragon: wine as described in the help.ubuntu site [01:27] MuzikJunkie: The problem is probably the drivers for the old card still being there.

I still hear the sound just fine, but I can't control the volume and (I use a laptop) the internal speakers don't get muted after I plug in external Speakers. Does anyone have an idea what's broken ?

[01:32] unop, yes [01:32] moshe: ccsm -> window managment -> Resize Window [01:32] MISI, and that is the exact error message you get? [01:32] histo, yes [01:33] itai-michaelson: I would check the font settings for dpi if not perhaps someone else would know here.

[01:33] histo: looks serious [01:33] robdig: PCM is selected [01:33] unop. yes i see only this [01:33] itai-michaelson: i usuall change teh dpi in settings -> appearance -. fonts to 72 instead of 96 [01:33] MuzikJunkie: what are you trying to remove that wanted to remove that? [01:34] histo: nvidia kernel common [01:34] MISI, i would reinstall grub if i were you. [01:34] !grub | MISI [01:34] MISI: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [01:34] MuzikJunkie: okay leave the kernel common then. [01:34] histo: ok [01:34] smee,which option? [01:34] MuzikJunkie: yeah its part of normal ubuntu install forgot about that. [01:34] smee,which option? [01:34] MuzikJunkie: just remove the nivida-glx-legacy stuff. [01:35] I'm having an issue with my xorg.conf.backup. Specifically, when I try to save a new config it says it cannot remove the old backup. When I went to the actual DIR to do it manually it says I can't because I don't have permission. How do I remedy this? [01:35] unop, ok, i will try this, thx [01:35] how do i install firefox32 on amd64? [01:35] moshe: you have compiz config settings manager open? [01:35] yes I do [01:35] histo: legacy is removed...install new card and reboot? [01:35] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202537 [01:35] histo, smee playing with the dpi helps - thanks [01:35] moshe: you want the resize window section [01:35] done scripts and firefox deb file [01:35] MuzikJunkie: yeah shut the computer off install new card and boot up. [01:36] resize is checked [01:36] MuzikJunkie: you'll probably get and X error and need ot install nvidia-glx [01:36] moshe: then when your in that part, open the bindings tab [01:36] votan: hmm, then you might be running into this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/109442 [01:36] Launchpad bug 109442 in linux-source-2.6.20 "Volume Control Doesn't Work on Notebook" [Medium,Incomplete] [01:36] histo: I would be thrilled to see that error [01:36] madfrancis, you need to use sudo or gksudo as needed [01:36] I seem to have sample rate issues recording. [01:36] I tried using "sudo rm xorg.conf.backup but had no luck. [01:36] madfrancis, open up your editor in this way. gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:36] It said that no file or directory existed [01:36] MuzikJunkie: well lets see what happens. [01:36] moshe: you will see siz binding options [01:37] question: where is the cvs/svn repository for the nm-applet code? [01:37] moshe: six* [01:37] moshe: disable the top four [01:37] hoonteke: did you try finding their homepage? [01:37] madfrancis, well, you can't delete a file that doesn't exist, can you? :) [01:37] madfrancis, that's quite pointless [01:37] perhaps not. But I've seen the file with my own eyeballs [01:37] histo: yes, but I got lazy after 2 minutes hoping it would be a quick url paste for someone. [01:37] madfrancis, does the file exist? ls -ld /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:37] having problems seeing the top of the window.it is above the top of screen.cannot see the bindings tab [01:37] * hoonteke goes back to google grind [01:37] hoonteke: isn't that part of gnome. [01:38] histo: I dunno? [01:38] hoonteke: I thought that was now part of gnome now. [01:38] histo, k, loooking there now [01:38] moshe: for me i have set the mouse binding to alt + button1 to initiate a window resize [01:38] hoonteke: try #gnome [01:38] histo, great thanks [01:38] Hi, I have 4 scripts in cron.hourly. If I run-parts /etc/cron.hourly, all 4 run. However, when cron runs that folder, only 3 run. the scripts all have similar permissions. Where to troubleshoot next? [01:38] moshe: if you cant see the top of the window, then try pressing alt + drag to move the window [01:39] histo: X started and I have a normal looking login screen [01:39] unop: yes [01:39] this drag behaviour can be changed in System -> Preferences -> Window [01:39] madfrancis, what does that return? [01:39] that works smee,but I used to be able to drag the window with left mouse btn and no alt [01:39] MuzikJunkie: okay so its using the vesa driver now you just have to install the nvidia-glx driver it should actually prompt you [01:39] MuzikJunkie: and tell you that a restricted driver is availible. [01:39] http://img99.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshffot1ru0.jpg ended up pretty good=) [01:39] histo: so far, no prompt but I do have a desktop [01:40] moshe: oops i tell l lie, i have it set to super+middle click to start resize [01:40] MuzikJunkie: yeah you are using the non open gl driver basically now you just have to install nvidia-glx and you will be good to go.

[01:41] My sound is fine, but my recording is picking up a lot of static and is making my voice really deep. http://www.underscorelive.com/Voice.wav <-- Sample saying "Test Test Test" [01:41] MuzikJunkie: try going to System > Administraiton > Hardware Drivers you should be able to do it from there. [01:41] it worked b4 the update.can't remember how I fixed it last time [01:41] moshe: maybe have a look through those sections in the ccsm to see which ones would affect window resizing. [01:41] moshe: make sure there are no rules preventing winow resizing [01:41] orgthingy: depends what you mean by test but myself I would buy a shell book really to learn everything [01:41] histo: enabling now [01:42] kitche: no, i want to do "windows" stuff [01:42] MuzikJunkie: then you will ahve 3d support. [01:42] unop:`/etc/X11/xorg.conf' -> `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.bkp' === _lifi is now known as lifi [01:42] ok.smee.will look at it again and may get back on in a few. thx for the assist [01:42] histo: it actually installed glx-new === mike is now known as Guest98728 [01:42] orgthingy: what sort of stuff are you trying to test? [01:42] orgthingy: well you still didn't really anwser my question since I asked what do you want to test [01:42] MuzikJunkie: thats fine. [01:42] can anyone look at my dmesg output for my TV Tuner Kworld ATSC 120: http://pastebin.com/m2eb867ba [01:42] Anyone here able to help me with Thin Client setup? Any help would be awesome, thanks. [01:42] MuzikJunkie: it should be able to pick okay. If not you can always change it back. [01:42] histo: command line programs and some stuff.. [01:42] madfrancis, great, that indicates you have moved that file and made a backup. you can go about doing what you were doing now [01:42] orgthingy: like what? [01:42] histo: rebooting [01:43] madfrancis, the backup is there incase you need it later. i.e. /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:43] histo: but.. u forgot my actual question [01:43] unop: alright. I'll give it a shot. :) [01:43] is there a way i can get cmd in linux? [01:43] hello together! [01:43] orgthingy: dos now [01:43] orgthingy: no [01:43] orgthingy: I'm sure there is an emulator or something. [01:43] xtknight: can anyone look at my dmesg output for my TV Tuner Kworld ATSC 120: http://pastebin.com/m2eb867ba [01:43] orgthingy, why would you want cmd.exe when you have a number of shells that do everything better? [01:44] orgthingy: yes terminal and ctl+alt+F1 will take you to the shell but if you want dos go get dosbox [01:44] orgthingy: you could run a virtual machine with dos installed. [01:44] orgthingy: cmd? as in windows cmd.exe? [01:44] how do i mount a bin/cue combo [01:44] unop: because i want to do a windows thing [01:44] i love terminal, but i *have* to use cmd [01:44] orgthingy, like what exactly? [01:44] unop: Crap! Now when I go to save the settings I get this... "Failed to open existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'!" [01:44] orgthingy: then you need dosbox or wine to use windows apps [01:44] unop: i dunno, ask my school man [01:44] i am trying to compile a program and i got http://pastebin.com/m60110c02 however apt-get does not like makeinfo or textinfo for packages [01:44] i told my teacher i only have linux [01:45] orgthingy: its kind of hard to answer you questions if you wont' explain. [01:45] she told me that sometimes, terminal is fine but not for all classes [01:45] orgthingy: we've told you that you can use dosbox probably [01:45] xtknight: can anyone look at my dmesg output for my TV Tuner Kworld ATSC 120: http://pastebin.com/m2eb867ba [01:45] Good nite, i want to load some modules at start up so i added to /etc/modules but it don't work. I guess i'm writing something wrong. The commands i use for enable my modules are modprobe ath_pci and modprobe wlan_scan_sta and i added these commands with and without the modprobe but nothing... Anyone have another alternative? [01:45] !info dosbox > orgthingy [01:45] orgthingy, please see my private message [01:45] histo: I need cmd.. because we're taking "cmd courses" in school [01:45] madfrancis, what are you using to adjust settings? [01:45] I give up [01:45] histo: x did not start [01:45] orgthingy: i would suspect your teacher is not aware of what the terminal in linux is capable of [01:46] histo: black screen [01:46] MuzikJunkie: hrm. okay remove nvidia-glx-new [01:46] hi ALL [01:46] smee: yes yes.. but some commands in cmd are different [01:46] MuzikJunkie: and install nvidia-glx [01:46] orgthingy; have you thought about a virtual machine? i just caught the last of your issues [01:46] xtknight: can anyone look at my dmesg output for my TV Tuner Kworld ATSC 120: http://pastebin.com/m2eb867ba [01:46] virtual machine.. nah, it barely works [01:46] народ плиз [01:46] histo: aptitude purge nvidia-glx-new?

[01:46] my computer is so old :( [01:46] vices, umm well 2.6.26 added support for kworld 120 btw [01:46] пожскажите плеер для Убунту [01:46] vices, sorry wrong nick [01:46] мп3 [01:46] ok [01:46] victor_, umm well 2.6.26 added support for kworld 120 btw [01:46] orgthingy, wine cmd.exe [01:46] histo: i cannot even get to a TTY [01:46] orgthingy: use dosbox or virtualbox. [01:46] orgthingy: there is also a dos emulator in the repos [01:46] Nice one. [01:46] xtknight: did you look at my dmesg output [01:46] histo: recovery mode i guess? [01:46] MuzikJunkie: reboot and at the grub screen hit esc and select recovery mode. [01:47] Anyone has any idea about load modules at startup ? [01:47] orgthingy: the dos emulator would be less of an exercise to get up and running too [01:47] ah [01:47] wine has cmd :D [01:47] hello does anyone knows why i have sdl libs installed and when i compile something ubuntu says they are not i'm relative new in linux [01:47] victor_, yes i did. i dont know what it means [01:47] wine cmd.exe [01:47] :D [01:47] thanks a lot [01:47] MuzikJunkie: yeah atleast we know your card is working we just have to figure out which driver it wants. IT should be nvidia-glx I don' know why it would try -new [01:47] virtualbox = easy stuff [01:47] and yes, ill try dos emulators [01:47] spiritwalker: most likely need -dev [01:47] xtknight: i also see this [ 4387.674395] cx88[0]: Calling XC2028/3028 callback [01:47] victor_, compile a 2.6.26 kernel and try [01:47] orgthingy: you want to make sure when dealing with permissions that the wine cmd is representing the situation as per normal windows lunacy [01:48] histo: and you want me to run the aptitude purge...is this the same as unchecking the package in synaptic? [01:48] orgthingy: yeah wine cmd.exe will work for you. [01:48] orgthingy: just install wine sudo aptitude install wine [01:48] victor_, p.s. enable CONFIG_SND in the new kernel if you want sound (and the proper module for your card), something most kernel compilation guides neglect to mention [01:48] i have wine already [01:48] MuzikJunkie: purge will remove the configuration files [01:48] :) [01:48] histo: is this what i need to run? [01:48] orgthingy, wine does not have cmd.exe -- you need to run the cmd.exe that exists in your wine installation with wine [01:49] MuzikJunkie: but yes aptitude purge just removes the package and its configs [01:49] MuzikJunkie: sudo aptitude purge nvidia-glx-new [01:49] MuzikJunkie: then sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx [01:49] MuzikJunkie: hopefully that should fix it all. [01:49] -dev ??? sorry i'm really a small pidgin [01:49] well, it seems that it has cmd.exe :) [01:50] orgthingy: ha, you have to use the "wine cmd" in an existing terminal though...i assumed this wasnt the case.. [01:50] orgthingy, actually wait. wine has it's own cmd.exe but it isn't the fully compatible version with the actual microsoft cmd.exe - you'll need to get cmd.exe off of a windows CD [01:50] spiritwalker: libsdl-dev package if your trying to compile a program [01:50] unop : oh, i see [01:50] orgthingy, the cmd.exe that comes with wine is wine's implementation of cmd.exe [01:50] what is wrong with him just using dosbox [01:50] i see [01:50] histo: installed nvidia=glx...rebooting [01:50] so, Ill get the real cmd [01:50] ms's cmd :) [01:51] if I remember correctly Outlook can just have it's settings imported into Thunderbird when both are running on Windows. however what I am wondering is if I can get the settings from Outlook running in Windows into Thunderbird running in Ubuntu, without having to say first install Thunderbird into Windows and then copy the relivant setting files over to the one in Ubuntu [01:51] MuzikJunkie: cross your fingers if not we'll just remove that and use the regular vesa driver temporarily [01:51] orgthingy: yes [01:51] also like THunderbird, outlook wil have it's own settings per user? [01:51] thunderbird works with mapi? [01:51] ok, thanks for your help [01:51] orgthingy: depending on which version of dos your class is using for the exercises, dosbox might be your better option [01:51] what's a good terminal application to burn DVDs? [01:51] histo, if his teacher want's him to use cmd.exe and he uses dosbox, he isn't guaranteed to get the same results [01:51] iratsu: dd [01:51] Good nite, i want to load some modules at start up so i added to /etc/modules but it don't work. I guess i'm writing something wrong. The commands i use for enable my modules are modprobe ath_pci and modprobe wlan_scan_sta and i added these commands with and without the modprobe but nothing...

[01:52] kindofabuzz: any school that holds history in high regard [01:52] orgthingy, freedos does not have a cmd.exe .. iirc, it only has a command.com [01:52] they should teach you linux commands [01:52] kindofabuzz - a lot of technical schools mention it because there are still a lot of systems that use it [01:53] oh :( [01:53] kitche: hmm what i want to burn isn't an iso though [01:53] kindofabuzz, the schools that expect you to work on windows .. [01:53] Ultraputz, true [01:53] they should teach how to read and think [01:53] iratsu: make it an iso then burn that. [01:53] kindofabuzz: true, but they are funded and indoctrinated by pay slips that dictate a microsoft world [01:53] superogt - there'd be no point. [01:53] histo: ah, ok [01:53] iratsu: then dd is not what you want [01:53] Yo if I compile and update my kernel on hardy, will that bug/slow it a bit?

I'm trying to add a new user to my ubuntu desktop set up.

[02:01] MuzikJunkie: its an editor [02:01] MISI, yes indeed, grub does not know how to read off of ntfs partitions to get the boot images [02:01] SUPEROGT: not being a stagnant project means it always presenting new things to learn [02:01] MuzikJunkie: the keys ont he bottom are Ctrl then the letter [02:01] histo: i know, just not familiar with it [02:01] MuzikJunkie: well use which ever editor your are familiar with.

[03:11] tech0007: and double clicking it opens fileroller? [03:11] okay, so: if i plug in the ide drive which has ubuntu installed, then if i chose my sata drive from the bios boot menu grub loads but returns error 17 if i try to load ubuntu, or err 13 if i choose windows. if, on the other hand, i chose the ide drive with ubuntu installed from the boot menu i don't get grub, i just get "Missing operating system". I've unplugged the ubuntu drive, and win is... [03:11] ...working fine (or as fine as it usually does). Anyone have any ideas? [03:11] Why ubuntu can't connect to my internet [03:11] Wifi [03:11] smee: yup, it shows me the contents of the archive, i cant just extract it [03:12] hydroponic: use chmod -r 0600 /home/username [03:12] Windows connecting without problems [03:12] vilemaxim, Gibbster: OK thanks [03:12] craigbass1976: I don't think you can get the file to the livecd, but if you have an internet connection, you can email and attached those files to yourself.

[03:16] ace_suares: I do have another sata drive using a sata card, but that's for a different set of drives [03:16] Gibbster: well then I dont see how an ide drive can become a scsi drive... you mean /dev/sda or something ? [03:16] tyler_d1: hmmm.. the next think I would do is start modifing the post and pre install scripts to see how far they are getting... but I would be afraid to direct you to do that.

[03:17] Gibbster: well if your pata is connected to the normal ide0 , then it should be /dev/hda [03:17] ace_suares: the trouble is when I disconnect either of the sata drives, my system doesn't boot [03:17] tyler_d1: but if you are up for the adventure the scripts are in /var/lib/dpkg/info [03:17] ace_suares: yeah, that's what I thought [03:17] chh111, #ubuntu+1 [03:17] vilemaxim: always up for an adventure [03:17] Gibbster: it's your bios that does that.

[03:17] holyguyver hmmm, I think also the startup manager might have something to help you. its in the Add/Remove Programs [03:17] tyler_d1: you understand bash scripts [03:17] tech0007: did you "sudo apt-get install 7zip" or "sudo apt-get install 7zip-full" [03:17] ? [03:18] Hi guys, I am upgrading one of my server from Gutsy to Hardy, but it seems that the locale is screwed. Am seeing "perl: warning: Setting locale failed." whenever a package is installed. [03:18] i have vista and ubuntu dual booted on a computer and i wasusing bcd in windows to let the vista loader be incharge instead of grub and i cant boot back into ubuntu [03:18] Gibbster normally, ide0 goes before the sata drives... and in the bios, in boot order, you must be able to set it [03:18] Thing thing is hanging there btw: Setting up locales (2.7.9-4) ... Generating locales... en_AU.UTF-8... [03:18] smee: apt-get install p7zip [03:18] vilemaxim: somewhat [03:18] tech0007: also, is the 7zip a multipart? [03:18] ace_suares: yeah... that's another thing.

Once you find the line you can run it directily and see the error you get. [03:19] Gibbster: can't be anything else then your bios. Or maybe the ROM of you sata adapter does this ? Can you disable that rom or set it uo (Ctrl-M ?) [03:19] uo up [03:19] anybody know somthin bout that?

[04:38] Flannel, neither and both, but through an RSA session i'm "sitting" in front of it, ssh just says no as soon as I enter "root" [04:38] can anyone tell me how to automatically unlock the keys when you login? [04:38] Flannel, so I do have console [04:38] the orange bar under ubuntu is now moving [04:39] qweqweqwe: you have a terminal prompt? or what?

[04:44] ndo: .. pastebin fstab ... [04:44] yyy: what do u mean? [04:44] captainmorgan, but none of the hard drives are there [04:44] its just a shared folder on the network [04:44] garyx, **ask*** your question [04:44] is there any way i could find out if the latest xephyr package in the repo includes evdev support? [04:44] jordan: there's a number of methods of sharing. Is it a windows machine? [04:44] bazhang i don't know how to do that [04:44] jordan: in what way is the folder shared? From windows? nfs? samba? [04:44] yes, his is a windows machine [04:44] from windows [04:44] smith469, it does this automatically ? [04:44] and id like to access is from my mac terminal [04:44] i figure the command should be the same [04:44] for ubuntu [04:44] !samba | jordan [04:45] jordan: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [04:45] i tried the kernal that said at the end and nothing [04:45] Ganandorf, get into grub and hit e then edit the kernel you are booting from [04:45] Ganandorf: listen to bazhang [04:45] ndo :?

[05:12] captainmorgan: in bios I switched it to ahci [05:12] ndo: with a gig missing swap shouldn't crash the sys ;, paste output blkid [05:12] :( [05:12] smith469, ah :) [05:13] hi bazhang are on [05:13] captainmorgan: now, to fix the three other things [05:13] @Torrential lspci | grep Network [05:13] smith469, so all's good that wasn't before ?

But I'm banned from the Debian channel for apparently no reason [05:14] man debian is fun when it comes down to hardware issues lol! [05:14] ah, that makes since. You'll need to use ndiswrapper to use your broadcom chipset, I think.

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [05:38] !edgy [05:38] Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) was the fifth release of Ubuntu. It is now in end of life, and is unsupported. Please upgrade to a newer release. [05:39] lmao, asus didnt add the linux driver on the new ati hd4850! [05:39] luzai, yes; you need to enable the repos in software sources (hardy) [05:39] err [05:39] !dns [05:39] DNS is an acronym for Domain Name System, and is an internet system used to translate names into IP Address. [05:39] !dapper [05:39] Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) was the fourth release of Ubuntu. See !lts for more details. [05:39] I love ubottu! [05:39] hehe me too [05:39] !dhcp [05:39] dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP [05:39] guys, take the ubottu love to PM with /msg [05:39] OK, sorry. I don't know the rules yet [05:39] !msgthebot > ahorner [05:39] ahorner, please see my private message [05:39] blargh [05:40] luzai: You've nothing to apologize for [05:40] any good games for linux? [05:40] supertux!! [05:40] wine [05:40] bazhang: and how do I enable the repos in software source? [05:40] !games | ahorner [05:40] ahorner: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [05:40] lol [05:40] quake 4 [05:40] unreal tournament [anything] [05:40] get drunk and try to run wine :-/ [05:40] openarena is good too [05:41] bazhang - went to Add to Panel - Custom App Launcher - Browse to /usr/bin/ - doesn't show the app kompozer there, but in the filesystem it is there. [05:41] luzai, system administration software sources set them there [05:41] wine is kind of an ironic name, those vb apps get better with age. [05:41] I think wine has progressed to the point where most geeks can even use it while drunk. For non-geeks, I'd only recommend wine while sober. [05:41] foool, navigate to the internet folder and right click on kompozer icon and choose add to panel [05:41] hi [05:42] does anyone know why vlc isnt playing any sounds while audacious and gnome's sound test thing will? [05:42] deserteagle: audio output driver, check it [05:42] I would like to know a good DNS server tu put on /etc/resolv.conf [05:42] my VLC just recently started hanging and then stopped... seemed to be related to being on a network [05:42] ok got it. thanxs [05:42] np [05:42] you may wish to use gstreamer-properties to change the output type [05:42] thanks behang [05:42] rafaelscj: how about the one your ISP provides you with?

I haven't since dapper, I'm sure it's changed, lol. [05:44] alraune: "Could not open lock file" [05:44] thinman1189: probably not [05:44] deserteagle: you will see an option to select the output drivers for video and audio, make sure alsa is selected. [05:44] should i sudo it? [05:44] how do i allow Kino to read/write access to my firewire camcorder? I have to run it as root to get it to access my camcorder. is there a simpler way? [05:44] i dont have an internet connection [05:44] hehe im installing vista through vitbox [05:44] icenine: it is :( [05:44] deserteagle: oh noes [05:44] smith469: google for unp ubuntu (multiple unpacker-util) ,one for almost all [05:44] deserteagle: what is selected in audacious?

[05:45] crashsystems: i just switched to ubuntu todat [05:45] SebNaitsabes as of newer versions that is correct, you can either grab it from the 0.3 version or make your own using images found in different places on the net [05:45] icenine, I can't connect when I use dhcp for dns [05:45] im not on the ubuntu [05:45] How can I remove a group of files from the /usr directory without removing each file separately using terminal? [05:45] @ahorner congrats, and welcome! [05:45] xu: synaptic open ? no sudo in front ? [05:45] rafaelscj: oh noes. call your ISP and let 'em have it. [05:45] alraune: working now w/ sudo, thanks! [05:45] NetEcho: ok thanks [05:45] diego: define this "group" [05:45] luke-jr, what's the name of that server? [05:45] I like it alot, especially because of compiz [05:45] alraune: the uninstall, that is, not the mouse =P [05:45] diego: rm -r, carefull ! [05:45] nothing is working!!!! [05:46] how do i allow Kino to read/write access to my firewire camcorder? I have to run it as root to get it to access my camcorder. is there a simpler way? [05:46] rafaelscj: the name? [05:46] tonyyarusso: many files (images) [05:46] smith469, will the ubuntu box ever have internet? [05:46] Amun: add the device to fstab [05:46] * ahorner wonders if i will get banned from irc for telling users to delete usr directory [05:46] icenine: you mean the sound preferences? [05:46] tonyyarusso: not a "foulder" [05:46] ahorner, yes [05:46] diego: if they have similar naming schemes, then rm with some wildcards will be fine [05:46] deserteagle: no, I mean configure alsa on your box. [05:46] not suprised. [05:46] @ahorner Yeah, compiz is real nice. Most people ask me to put Ubuntu on their laptops when they see compiz on mine. [05:47] tonyyarusso: wildcards? [05:47] diego: *, ?, and the like. [05:47] compiz is nice [05:47] deserteagle: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=595565 [05:47] icenine: but if i choose it for audacious, it also works [05:47] @crashsystems i just wish i had another nice sized monitor [05:47] deserteagle: that explains your problem, I think [05:47] deserteagle: because you've seelected OSS [05:47] xu: it's hard for me to guess what caused the missbehaviour, but a reconfiguration of any poss should maybe be done when the occur is deleted [05:47] if i add an executable to /etc/init.d will it automatically get called when the computer reboots? [05:47] tonyyarusso: oh!, sorry, I'm a newbie [05:47] deserteagle: no, that link is no good [05:47] icenine, My modem don't connect because it's for windows [05:48] rafaelscj: winmodem? [05:48] icenine: i just changed it to alsa and it still works [05:48] @ahorner Do you have the cube set up? I've found that for me, it is almost as good as having two monitors. Way cooler looking, too. [05:48] rafaelscj: you gots 56k? [05:48] Compiz ? how to I get the inside of the cube view ? [05:48] tonyyarusso: But I don't think they have similar names [05:48] yeah i set all the effects up [05:48] icenine, so, i MUST edit /etc/resolv.confg manually [05:48] thorny_sun: or /etc/rc.local [05:48] cube is nice, havent made use of it yet [05:48] does fdisk x f change partition UUIDs? [05:48] rafaelscj: I know. [05:48] icenine, No, it's a cellphone [05:49] Kattman, set in ccsm [05:49] icenine, USB [05:49] rafaelscj: so, they don't provide you with DNS? [05:49] The expo plugin is also rather useful. [05:49] hello, I have a bin file and a cue file from DeVeDe. How can I burn it on a cd correctly? [05:49] diego: Ah, np. I'm trying to come up with a good starter document on the subject, but my mind is blanking atm. Possibly "man regex". Alternatively, you can pass each name on the line (eg. 'rm file1 file2 file3'), or put the names in file and pass that as input. [05:49] tonyyarusso: Is there a way to use the graphic interface (as in KDE) for removing these files as root? [05:49] natulis [05:49] deserteagle: hm, now that you changed the other apps all to alsa, try using vlc again. [05:49] Bazhang: whats the name of the icon [05:49] icenine: grrr.... i restarted VLC and it works now.... to an extent [05:49] deserteagle: see :D alsa [05:50] tonyyarusso: Nice! [05:50] deserteagle: it works because you changed the other driver to alsa. [05:50] alraune: it's done, should I restart now? [05:50] icenine: plays fine on an .mp4 sticks like hell on an avi [05:50] icenine, when chose dynamic DNS, the connection don't start [05:50] diego : could you specify the directory you want to delete ? [05:50] diego: Yes, although it's not preferred (primarily because if you forget and keep doing other things with that window open as root you can mess other things up) [05:50] Kattman, icon? not sure what you mean there [05:50] xu : give it a try, though I think we... see then [05:50] is there something special i have to do to the apache config to have it process .htaccess files? [05:50] tonyyarusso: How can I make that file? ie what kind of file should be? [05:50] oh crap, i forgot i need to set up apache [05:51] rafaelscj:_call_ your _internet_ provider or cell phone company, and ask them for the IP of their dns server? why doesn't this work for you? [05:51] diego: plain text, one filename per line. Details in #bash (not yet my strongest suit) [05:51] alraune: yes [05:51] alraune: can i restart from the command line? [05:51] dns stuff might give you a listing of their dns servers too [05:51] alraune: wait [05:51] xu: type: reboot [05:51] Bazhang: i have the cube with outside view, but want the inside view [05:51] dnsstuff.com I think [05:51] anyone else having trouble with Samba after updates?

[05:51] sudo reboot* [05:51] can someone help me, conky and system monitor show my processor running at 800mhz even when the load is great. how can i get it to run at 1.8ghz like it should? [05:52] it hasn't affected my dancing ;) [05:52] rafaelscj: your are connecting to the internet with your cell phone, right? [05:52] alraune: taime1: kthx! [05:52] icenine, yes [05:52] rafaelscj: your cell phone company, has dns servers. you can call their tech support and ask for the IP [05:52] majortoo1: disable any "AllowOverride None" directives (e.g. /etc/apache2/apache2.conf) [05:52] i have an issue with a computer running 7.10, i installed some updates, and now when i restart it, it loses it's network card driver. I run "modprobe r8169", and it loads the driver and corrects the issue. But how can i get this to happen automatically? [05:52] is there any utility I can run to see if my system would support compiz? [05:52] rafaelscj: then you can put it, in resolv.conf. [05:52] alraune: /usr/share/amule/skins/ [05:52] icenine, I know that, but sometimes that don't work [05:52] @Kattman Inside cube is in the desktop cube plugin, behavior tab [05:53] @Kattman first check box [05:53] so use that 4.2.2.1 that luke-jr gave you [05:53] diego: in the dir skins are the files yo wanna delete ?

Could anyone be nice to me and tell me what i should do when the upgrade to 8.04 has gotten stuck..? I tried to look at FAQs but didnt find anything... :S... [08:29] eth01: is there a benefit to running 1 spare? does ubuntu spin down the disk until another one fails? [08:29] ubuntu is crap at upgrades btw especially when it comes to the OS [08:29] *sigh* [08:29] Walliski, can you boot up into the install now? [08:29] uhh? [08:29] where is a shared folder [08:30] Walliski, does the computer start up alright? [08:30] uhh... i havent kinda rebooted it yet... [08:31] Walliski, so how do you know the upgrade got stuck? [08:31] i started upgrading... then fall asleep.. [08:31] eth01: i suppose it's relevant to mention that i'm using ubuntu server. [08:31] it has been at "About 3 minutes remaining" for about 10 min now? [08:31] Walliski, i suggest you wait another 10, if it doesn't complete by then come back [08:32] It was 2 hours ago i started upgrading... [08:32] last upgrade took about 40.... (7.04-7.10 or whatever it was...) [08:32] Hey, I have a question.. Every drive I've mounted shows up on my desktop. If I try to delete the shortcut from the dekstop it gives me an error. Is there a way to set Ubuntu to not show the icons for mounted drives on the desktop? [08:33] Walliski, 2 hours could be kind of reasonable. it depends on your setup, how much you have installed, etc. [08:33] Scott_Johnstone: Sure, press alt-F2 and then enter gconf-editor === SoulSlayer is now known as anewbie [08:33] Walliski, anyway, you've waited 2 hours, another 10 minutes isn't going to kill [08:34] yes yes...

[09:24] jeeves__, nope, sorry [09:25] jeeves__, I assume you mean LDAP and not LAMP [09:25] DistroJockey, well, I was thinking that if I start adding servers to my "network", I'm going to need VNP access to move and update things. And it would be nice to get it set up properly [09:26] DistroJockey, yes, I have LAMP set up allready, and I'm looking for LDAP [09:26] jeeves__, *nods* not done one of those [09:26] DistroJockey, ok, cool [09:26] DistroJockey, well, let's see if I can make it work on this mess of a little server that I have [09:27] Hi all, anyone know a commad-line tool where i can read the Tags of a .wma-File?

[09:35] ikonia: Intel 945GCNL [09:35] newb: first thing to do, have you tried the init script shutdown to stop it [09:36] ikonia: no. i don't know how to do that. can u direct me please? [09:36] :) [09:36] newb: one moment [09:38] newb: I've not got a kde box so I can't see the correct init script that launches it [09:38] tylko jak tam wejsc ;/ [09:38] ziwlony jestem [09:38] zielony* [09:40] ikonia, ok, now I'm getting an error of cn=Manager,dc=your-domain,dc=com from webmin [09:40] ikonia: oh :( [09:40] jeeves__: webmin is not supported, and it's not in the ubuntu repo's so it looks like when you've set it up yourself you've not linked the correct perl modules into your ldap root server [09:40] ikonia: u think this is a DUAL boot issue? some ppl claim it is [09:40] ikonia, ok, thanks [09:41] newb: I can't see how it is a dual boot issue, as nothing windows does can effect ubuntu and vice/versa [09:41] kurde nikt tam nie odpowiada ;/ [09:42] ikonia: weird. i just rebooted the machine and this disappears! :( [09:42] newb: something worth doing is "grep -i kacpid /etc/init.d/*" [09:42] newb: it's bascilly a hardware/power saving daemon.

[09:45] newb: am I not making it clear that issues with this daemon or normally related to specific hardwre configuration [09:45] ikonia: i got it... so i need to figure out how to disable it basically [09:45] ikonia: u think i will have issues without it? [09:45] newb: which is why I've told you to check through the init scripts [09:45] newb: it's a power managment daemon, I can't see any issues [09:46] ikonia: the processor won't burn up right? the entire speed control of the fan etc is done by the BIOS i hope [09:46] newb: the processor won't burn up, as your basiclly disabling the OS's ability to interact with the power saving features on the bios [09:47] I have an idea for an application I would like to make for Ubuntu and Linux users ... but I kinda needs a heads up on where to start .... [09:47] hi [09:47] anyone know if there's a plugin or addon for Audacious that allows the player to be controlled remotely through internet? [09:47] ikonia: ok... will see how i can disable it.... [09:47] newb: use the command I gave you to find the correct init script [09:47] zetheroo: what sort of area of "where to start" [09:47] ikonia: ok [09:49] zetheroo: what sort of area of "where to start" [09:49] ikonia: the app I want to make would be a frontend with a library behind it .... and the user can access the files in a tree-like format .... and open the text files therein [09:50] zetheroo: yes but where are you stuck ? [09:51] ikonia: well... someone was telling me that for Windows there are programs for this which are already "made" but just have to be customised for your particulars [09:51] ikonia: is there such a thing for Linux? [09:51] zetheroo: thats not how writing an application works [09:51] zetheroo: there are specific libraries to use and link against (like windows and MFC and STL for example) [09:51] Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 64bit and installed VLC from the repos. Whenever I try to play a video or DVD the colours are all wrong, what's white is green, what's blue is red etc... I tried the other players and they're doing the same [09:51] zetheroo: what languages can you program in [09:52] hi i have kubuntu hardy and i made a bootchart capture http://img70.imageshack.us/img70/3983/hardy200807231yw8.png , any ideea how can i improve boot performance at the 50s it seams i have a period of silence? [09:52] ikonia: ok .. well I do not know any program languages ... which is why this sounded very possible for me to do .... since it required little to no coding [09:53] zetheroo: no - thats not possible, you can't make an application then. [09:53] can anyone recomend a good howto for setting up LDAP through webmin? [09:53] jeeves__: I exaplined to you earlier webmin is not supported or packaged through ubuntu [09:53] Hello [09:53] ikonia, you're right, you've told me that allready, now that you have, I'm not asking oyu [09:54] jeeves__: so please don't ask ubuntu support resources. [09:54] yacc_: hi [09:54] simi: there doesn't appear to be a pause at 50s - lots seems to be going on [09:56] ikonia: is not a pause but CPU is low and disk IO sems zero, and i am nort expert in reading bootchart charts [09:57] simi: me neither, just looking through the chart though looking for anythinb obvious, 50 seconds seems a reasonably long boot time === eth01|canarywhar is now known as eht01 === eht01 is now known as eth01 [09:59] simi: your vbox install seems to be doing a bit of work - unusual to have a "find" [09:59] Can anyone point me in the right direction to get the audio cd to play on my ubuntu 8.04? [10:00] Rhythmbox shows the songs but no sound....I confirm that my sound works as I can play counter strike for example :) [10:01] simi: read ahead also seems to take a reasonable legnth of time and take up some cpu - be interesting to disable that init scrpt and see how much that makes a difference [10:01] Alrex, what format is the music in? Just a normal audio CD? [10:02] yes...just normal audi cd [10:02] oops..audio :) [10:02] hello all! hey, i got a tape and i need to backup files on local pc and also in other ubuntu machines over network, anyone knows a program that can handle backups on network and tape and do a scheduled tasks? ... thanks!

[10:07] Can qdvd convert avi to dvd then burn? [10:08] simi: its in /etc/init.d [10:09] Alrex: When you try to play it in Rhythmbox, on the left hand side under 'libraries' does an "Errors" item appear? [10:10] Anyone can qdvdauthor convert avi to dvd then burn? [10:12] hello [10:13] *echo* [10:14] Peace_Keeper: no errors...not even in console where I ran the command from to launch the gui [10:14] Peace_Keeper: hily shit....its working now....when I closed my firefox!!! [10:14] :) [10:15] alrex021: please moderator your language [10:15] moderate even [10:15] Peace_keeper could you pleae tell me how to convert avi to dvd? [10:15] Peace_Keeper: I've actually hear of this bug [10:15] hey dudes [10:15] DTOPS1: mencoder can re-encode files, most of the DVD burning packages such as gnomebaker can then burn media files onto DBD [10:15] ikonia: ok [10:15] DVd [10:15] DTOPS1: http://pastebin.ca/1080541 [10:16] alrex021: thanks [10:16] could somebody help me out with a question please? I have a test machine which i use for messing about with various different os's. I would like to install windows and '2' linux operating systems. I currently have 1 windows and also 1 Ubuntu linux on the machine. But i wish to install another linux os onto the same machine. What is the easiest way to do this? [10:16] can you tell me where canifidn the busid of my video card [10:16] ? [10:16] !info devede| DTOPS1 [10:16] dtops1: devede (source: devede): program to create video DVDs. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 3.6-0.0ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 1128 kB, installed size 2592 kB [10:16] Alrex: I haven't, nice work, though. [10:16] cj_: the easy way to mangage multiple linux installs is to a.) have a seperate shared /boot partition b.) only allow the FIRST linux install to install grub - don't let the subsiquent installs install grub [10:16] cj_, just install to a free partition, use same boot partition if you use one. make a copy of this before [10:16] kk its installin :) [10:17] Hi all, anyone know a commad-line tool where i can read the Tags of a .wma-File? [10:17] cj_, and remember, for /boot ubuntu sort of ignores the option "dont format - keep data" === DBLobster is now known as U09526 [10:18] how would i actually manage the seperate boot partition? like add and take away os's in the future. Would i use ubuntu to do this, or windows? [10:18] cj_: there is "tool" to do this [10:18] cj_, use grub, and edit /boot/grub/menu.lst manually [10:18] cj_: when you install a linux OS it asks you how to partition and mount your disk [10:19] cj_: do you understand that part of it ? [10:19] which one do i select " only convert film files to complimant mpeg- files" or create disk structure or create and iso or bin/cue image ready to burn to a disk [10:19] im a total noob on linux. Ive always used windows lol. Ill research grub :D [10:19] Peace_Keeper: strange, but hey....I just have to open my music player first and then firefox, then all works. No big deal :) [10:19] cj_: I didn't say research grub, do you understand the section in linux installs where it asks you to partition your disks ? [10:20] i was replying to nibbler [10:20] ah ok. [10:20] Alrex: Unless an Audio playing flash applet etc. is opened in firefox, it won't activate the sound, so they will play nice some of the time. [10:20] and im not sure ikonia [10:20] which one do i select " only convert film files to complimant mpeg- files" or create disk structure or create and iso or bin/cue image ready to burn to a disk. [10:20] ill have a look :), im presuming it will be on the install screen? [10:21] cj_: ok - well thats the key, the file systems on linux are very different in layout to windows. /boot is normally a directory off the / file system, however for your install and subsiquent installs you want /boot to be a partition that is shared between all your linux installs so that it holdss a single menu.lst as nibbler_ has suggested and all your boot data for all the linux installs [10:22] does anyone know how i can password protect a data cd i am burnign with k3b? [10:22] *data dvd [10:22] so basically, the /boot partition can be for all os's? [10:22] cj_: all linux OS's [10:22] how can i check BusId [10:22] ... === shevek is now known as Guest99520 [10:22] lspci -vv [10:22] but i dont know where to see it [10:22] 01:00.0 [10:22] is that BusID [10:22] ? [10:22] anewbie: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:23] Can someone plase answer my question [10:23] я [10:23] ok, i also need to be able to boot to windows aswell? [10:23] theres a switch to X which shows scans the busids of the found cards [10:23] -shows [10:23] im not actually using windows much on my laptop anymore, BUT i need it just incase [10:24] cj_, the first linux install, if you chose ubuntu at least, will detect your windows and keep it bootable [10:24] yes, that is the case that i have now. Ive got windows as my first install, and then ubuntu as my second install. Its worked ok, i can boot to windows and also linux. For the third linux, would i not install the grub? [10:25] and just add it to the grub using ubtunu? [10:25] cj_: Thats probably easiest, yes. [10:25] cj_, just intsall it without installing grub, so it wont at least fuck your system [10:25] thanks guys, really appreciate the help! [10:25] have a good un [10:26] anyone know if i can password protect a data dvd? [10:27] couldn't you just encrypt the data on disc using the encrypter utility that comes with Ubuntu? [10:27] bex_, is it already engraved? [10:27] we're working on a server setup at the moment, want ot resize, shrink down, an LVM and setup a few new ones to run some virtual machines on. tried booting with 7.10 live cd, no devicemapper modules in that kernel,, does 8.04.1 have it? [10:27] bex_, otherwise, you could use truecrypt [10:27] or what livecd should i use? === fReAkY[t] is now known as freaky[t] [10:28] NET||abuse: it's always best to try the most recent live CD version [10:28] hey all [10:28] what is the encrypter that comes with ubuntu and how do i find it? [10:28] anyone know if the livecd comes with device-mapper [10:29] NET||abuse: please expand [10:29] bex_: encrypter for what? [10:30] ActionParsnip: have a debian install for xen server, We are looking to shrink down the lvm, went and did 1 full disk size lvm, so we have to boot into livecd to shrink the file system and the lvm. [10:30] NeoSanity[Linux] mentioned it\ [10:30] dw its a decrypter [10:30] I thought it was an encrypter too, my mistake [10:31] ActionParsnip: just tried with a 7.10 livecd, just what i had to hand, doesn't seem to have device-mapper module in the livecd kernel, so just wondering if anyone knew when if at all, it was added to a livecd kernel? === ZeroSilverwing is now known as Vezir [10:31] NeoSanity[Linux]: depends what you're encrypting. is it network packets / folders or what [10:31] argh [10:31] why is it that ubuntu messes up every time i use it? [10:31] i had it running great [10:31] NET||abuse: you can apt-get it just like an installed system [10:31] then i enable desktop effects and it screws up, even though it was fine when i did that on livecd [10:31] I use Hardy, but I need a kernel from Gutsy. Is it safe to download the .deb and just install it on Hardy?? [10:31] Vezir: are you logging on as root? [10:32] no [10:32] Vezir: good, in what way does it screw up? [10:32] ActionParsnip, i want to encrypt files that i am burning to a dvd [10:32] !encryptfs [10:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about encryptfs [10:32] it doesnt detect my pci ATi Radeon 9250 [10:32] it did before, then it tried to use my onboard nvidia graphics [10:33] bex_: http://encryptionhowto.sourceforge.net/Encryption-HOWTO-4.html [10:33] Vezir: do you have 2 graphics cards in your system now? [10:33] I use Hardy, but I need a kernel from Gutsy. Is it safe to download the .deb and just install it on Hardy?? [10:33] no [10:33] just the pci (not pci-e) radeon 9250 [10:34] Vezir: ok, have you disabled the onboard in your bios? [10:34] hi where do we pass boot option parameter already ? [10:34] i can't, really. it's either onboard or agp. [10:34] i'll be back in a bit, i'm gonna try choosing agp [10:34] Vezir: ok well as long as its disabled in some way thats cool [10:35] ck Vezir === ZeroSilverwing is now known as Vezir [10:35] coulix: its usually managed by grub.conf [10:35] gah old settings from a different server [10:35] ActionParsnip thanks [10:35] nevermind, it seems i'm updating [10:35] what did you say to me before i left, ActionParsnip? [10:35] ActionParsnip, coulix, menu.lst, not grub.conf [10:35] Vezir: cool, that may help, always fully update before asking :D [10:36] Flannel: bah :D [10:36] yeah, although you'd expect a 3-5 year old pci graphics card to work on 8.04 [10:36] Vezir: as long as your system doesnt see the onboard its fine, 1 less complication [10:36] Vezir: should be fine, depends on your needs [10:37] Vezir: i run an onboard gefore 6150 and it does me fine [10:37] pulls 50fps in urban terror [10:37] well yeah bt that isnt as horrid as whatever this is.

[11:19] i don't have permission to save this file? [11:19] i just did [11:19] smaug42_: apt comes from Debian so it's quite safe to assume [11:19] although not absolutely necessary I think [11:19] but they didnt have drivers for ubuntu [11:19] Vezir, you need root permission [11:19] smaug42_: try #debian [11:19] yes [11:19] its a usb [11:20] LowenHeart: http://lists.slug.org.au/archives/slug/2008/02/msg00022.html [11:20] chuy_max: how do i do that?

[12:13] erUSUL: I tried mounting it from an offset but it returns a "NTFS invalid signature" error (I can use fls to list the files on it, so I know they're there.

[12:15] z [12:15] !gksudo [12:15] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"!

Is this common? I think it has to do with the file being dragged over the locations in the left side of nautilus before it reaches the main window [12:15] DJCMay: i woudl delete grub, then use either super grub disk, or the live CD to reinstall grub..

[12:18] pwet, /j #ubuntu-fr [12:18] if I ever write something for linux that's useful, i'm going to pay back all the other devs for their junk and make it annoying to use as well :p [12:18] bazhang: so running gksudo is the correct way? [12:19] gluer, for gui stuff yes :) [12:19] erUSUL: The image is of the entire hard-drive - how would I find out the correct offset? as I said I've used fls and the offset of 63 was correct. What would be different in mount? [12:19] bazhang: oh [12:19] hehehe [12:19] if i edit xorg.conf and then run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg it reverts back [12:20] anyone able to help with some gtk problems i'm having? i get the following messages when starting 'appearances' - http://pastebin.com/d5d45e33 [12:20] erUSUL: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=711773 [12:21] how do i edit xorg.conf [12:21] if i run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg it losses my changes [12:22] any one using Ubuntu Hardy on a Dell Vostro Laptop over here?

(am on hardy heron on Dell XPS 1330) [12:33] Am I totally wrong, or is ubuntu still very time demanding in installing a lot of stuff?

[12:35] I need to run it after the user have logged on in gnome [12:35] ohh .. don't know about gnome .. kde has a .Autostart [12:35] chriswr it depends on the bin file [12:36] amews_aj: doesn't seem all that "simple" [12:36] jindal gnome has .autosart as well but gnome doesn't run the autostart script after resuming from suspend [12:36] dmacnutt: You can get themes for windows which includes just as many changes, in a simple .exe installation file [12:36] Why so complicated to do on ubuntu [12:37] where are the experts? :) [12:37] I can mostly help [12:38] i installed ubuntu 8.04 [12:38] its not complicated, it just requires intelligence! [12:38] my sound problem? (above) [12:38] What is the problem [12:38] amews_aj thats a little more than a theme, its a theme, custom panel and window decorator . the equiv in windows would be running a new shell. [12:38] i just tried to install VisualBoyAdvance-gtk but i can't find the gui anywhere and i can't find the command to start it from the terminal. Is there a way to know exactly what/where aptitude installed files?

(am on hardy heron on Dell XPS 1330) [12:38] amews_aj: to weed out the complainers :) someone could probably build a package of some sort, but the differences between the linux distros would make such a thing big and unwieldy [12:38] jaki problem? [12:39] jindal do you know the sound card [12:39] just buy a mac :) they are decent enough and you can change themes easy [12:39] But this is the case with a lot of stuff on ubuntu, cmds, cmds, cmds, cmds [12:39] I think its intel hda [12:40] dmacnutt: I'd like to try a mac before buying it, unfortunately, that is not possible [12:40] amews_aj: Themes are very easy to install, the particular url you linked to is not just a theme, it replaces a lot of 'core' gnome things.

[12:41] Pici: I will, but it just annoys me, I like to try out new stuff, but ubuntu is like annoying me every time. Every time I boot it up to do something, I spend hours following guides to make something work, then it never really worked, and I shutdown the pc. [12:41] mole112: any link or reason? [12:41] koshari: cmd yes, but I never use commandline to install stuff [12:41] amews_aj: you are expecting it to be like windows, and it never will be [12:41] amews_aj how do you ping or get your ipconfig on windows? USE IFCONFIG [12:42] jindal : The thing that happens is that externall speakers override the system ones [12:42] jindal : so when you plug the ex speakers the internal ones stop working [12:42] amews_aj you doont have to, ever heard of synaptic, its just a lot of the time its easier to press alt f and paste a command in [12:42] amews_aj: If you want to discuss this, the best place would be #ubuntu-offtopic, however, if you have a specific support question, go ahead and ask here.

Even nmap says all ports are closed ! Any idea ? [13:00] IIRC, NTFS doesn't have very good support with linux [13:00] when i installed windows on this machine i didnt epxect a dualboot\ [13:01] if you're fortunate enough to have an external, back everything up with it. i never had any read problems with it [13:01] i have every drive i own hooked up [13:01] besides my 125 gb or so in laptop hdds [13:01] >_> wat [13:01] sorry...kinda drunk [13:02] any site 2 listen music i m not able 2 play in www.ragalahari.com ..........y so [13:02] well, if you're trying to dual boot [13:02] dunno if you are [13:03] but if you are. it's best to have your linux in a ext2/3 partition, windows in NTFS, then share files between a FAT32 [13:03] definitely am [13:03] I just installed Ubuntu ,,, I got sick and tired of living in a Proprietary Microsoft World [13:04] i pirate everything [13:04] keeps it nice and free [13:04] when i dual booted, i had all my music/videos/etc on the FAT32. i kept my OS dedicated (NTFS/ext3) to a minimum size [13:04] maybe it's cause i'm drunk...but i pirate a lot of stuff too <_< [13:04] whats a good sound editing program? [13:04] Well we don't need to be pirates with linux, since its open source [13:04] nah, smart people pirate [13:04] something equivalent to nero wave editor for example :P [13:04] hi guys I can't figure out this thing: I added a new HDD partitioned as one big partition, ubuntu 8.04 x86 recognizes it as sdc1 and it works fine. The only problem is that I don't know how to generate an UID for it so I can add it to /etc/fstab without rpoblems (hoipefully). Adding it as /dev/sdc1 gives me problems at bootup [13:04] db92, audacity [13:05] but generally people frown upon saying as such [13:05] which is nice [13:05] the stupid ones shell out $800 for a glorified ms paint [13:05] econobeing: pls join #drunk [13:05] Toznoshio, kk [13:05] !illegal [13:05] piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels.

That is, one program will freeze, but I'll be able to switch to another program that will work for a few seconds before it freezes, etc. After about 20 seconds, everything "unfreezes" and goes back to working like normal. This process repeats approx every 5-8 minutes or so. The comp [14:14] uter never completely freezes (ie, I can still move the mouse, some buttons still respond, etc.) Output from dmesg is here: http://dpaste.com/66911/ [14:14] drenz: And if you change the root password you can't login using it at the login screen [14:14] so if your ldap server fails, and you have no root. how do you login ?

[14:35] they're replacing Synaptic with Package Kit [14:35] They are? Nice. [14:35] Not Ubuntu discussion, Ubuntu Support. Thanks. [14:35] cr0w_, Did you download the imvu installer ? [14:35] Pelo: I don't see how you think this is going to work. If she has access to the computer physically she CAN access the internet if shes "wise" as you say [14:35] Baron1984, but apt will still be there right ? [14:35] muntrue yes [14:35] !packagekit [14:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about packagekit [14:36] Pelo: Package Kit works with Apt or Yum [14:36] cr0w_, oke open a terminal window and type sudo apt-get install wine [14:36] Oh, well, packagekit is just a front end [14:36] it connects to apt, rpm, conary etc [14:36] Pelo: If she needs homework done she could write it on a goddamn paper or use her mothers account under her supervision. The problem isn't how to configure linux, the problem is how this child needs to be raised [14:36] Pelo, just teach the daughter to use the interwebs for "wiser" purposes than whatever you dont want her to do and keep internet on >> [14:36] yes, now when DEB can do Deltas, I'll be happy [14:36] ok Muntrue..i install wine ..now ? [14:36] cr0w_, yes [14:36] Pelo, notwist: This is not Ubuntu related, please keep the chatter in #ubuntu-offtopic [14:36] notwist, we'Re getting off track I think [14:36] cr0w_, tell me when that is done [14:37] ok [14:37] WillLuongo, are you getting any further with your issue ? [14:37] Pelo: what im trying to say is that there is NO way you can config the computer to let her use it to do homework or whatever and be sure she cant access the internet. Physical access means easy hack [14:37] I've wondered why you can't do "Delta Deb's", like a Delta RPM [14:37] you should just let her do whatever she wants. she'll figure it out anyway, she could download a live-cd, then instant admin... [14:37] that would be nice [14:37] Does anyone know about the ralink driver and wpa_spk as I am wresting with getting the two to play together and could do with help or a simple 'it's futile give it up' will do. === [itrebal_sleep] is now known as itreba === itreba is now known as itrebal [14:37] Muntrue: I am working on it right now (copying in the xorg.conf) [14:37] Pelo: especially not if you want it to be flexible like she can have internet one week and one not [14:37] WillLuongo, :) [14:38] guys how much space do i need to install ubuntu on a usb flash , 1 gb ? [14:38] i heard 4 [14:38] gfather1: that sounds like a lot [14:38] Muntrue: It is going slowly... is there a way to get rid of the line numbers? [14:38] Muntrue ok :D [14:38] allot ? [14:38] I have made [14:39] gfather1: depends on how much packages you put in, like open office etc [14:39] WillLuongo, scroll down to the text editor on the bottom ;) [14:39] and btw, I was able to get around various OS restrictions/net filter/router issues etc when i was 14. so i don't see why she can't ;) [14:39] gfather1: linux can be everything from tiny to huge [14:39] i have like 1 gb flash , and the livecd is like 700 + mb , [14:39] gfather1, imo, 1gb is really pushing it. At least 2gb. [14:39] gfather1 install is a strange thing, you could get a minimal for around 300mb but you will not get a gui [14:39] yes i know that , i want default stuff [14:39] cr0w_, now in the terminal go to the path that you have the invu installer [14:39] Muntrue: Unfortunately I just noticed that after I sent... I then proceeded to slap my forhead [14:39] lol [14:39] Hi i have big problem with my E Mail evulation transferiewrte Mail i can not see in the Postbox [14:39] i thought so [14:39] ok [14:39] notwist, currently the daughter only has basic "user" access, with the mother as the admin, I just wanted to see if there was a simple way to give the daughter a bit more rope so she can install games and apps herself without having to have her mother log into her account every 10 mintues to do it [14:40] WillLuongo, Hehe yea took me awhile to figure that one out too [14:40] cr0w_, tell me when you done that [14:40] it seems i need more for the gui and other stuff :) [14:40] Pelo: what im trying to say is, what is stopping her right now from using the internet in a way that her mother doesnt want? [14:40] !usb > gfather1 [14:40] gfather1, please see my private message [14:40] hi [14:40] i dont want to install it on the same hd i have that have windows [14:40] gfather1 this page says 1 g http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-on-usb-bar [14:40] Pelo, put an entry in /etc/sudoers that says something along the lines of, this user can have admin privelages only when runing the commands aptitude, apt-get, synaptic. [14:40] Hi, i am having same trouble with Evolution and the Google Calendar plugin. It seems that i can't manage to get neither read nor write access to my calendars stored at google. [14:40] how can I change the whole appeareance of hardy? (themes, gdm login screen, background, etc.?) [14:40] Muntrue i download the installer now [14:40] Anyone knows something about this [14:40] please wait [14:40] Pelo: she can get root access from a live-cd. you know that, right? [14:41] cr0w_, oke :) [14:41] DRebellion, I'm investigating that [14:41] arthurmaciel: google for "gnome looks" :) [14:41] im cheking it [14:41] How can I tell which device in "/dev/" is the dvd burner ? [14:41] cr0w_, when the installer is downloaded you can also right click on it and click : Open with wine [14:41] OS level restrictions don't make any difference for a local user. [14:41] Pelo: you need to read about /etc/sudoers file [14:41] ShadowofShinobi Pelo my point exactly. physical access = easy to crack [14:41] arthurmaciel compiz-fusion, emerald, and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [14:41] Also if a create a Google calendar via the Evo's interface and i check the properties after the creation, it will not even know the username i typed in while creating the calendar [14:41] i can close the terminal ? [14:41] cr0w_, sure [14:42] anyway, does anyone know how i can check my entire harddrive without having to boot from a live cd? like fsck [14:42] the laptop im on is acting weird and id like to check the entire disc, but i cant unmount it while im using it [14:42] guys would u recomend i get another hd and install on it ubuntu , the same mashine that has windows ? [14:42] notwist, you can't check a disk that is mounted. You have to boot off a different drive. [14:42] gfather1: you could install with wubi? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [14:42] sorry. I asked about changing ubuntu theme (gdm screen, wallpaper, windows borders, etc.). Is there a GUI program to do that? [14:42] gfather1, You can also use VMware [14:42] question about wubi: does it write grub to the MBR or does it boot via boot.ini? [14:42] gfather1 you can dual boot install without wubi [14:43] gfather1: you could just repartition your current disk, if you have some free space. in my experience qtparted works wonderfully on NTFS :) [14:43] gfather1 how big is your hdd? [14:43] ok now install imVu :D [14:43] 80 gb [14:43] cr0w_, so it is working ? [14:43] how much free? [14:43] notwist: you can do init 1 or boot single [14:43] DRebellion: ok ill get a live cd then [14:43] yes [14:43] arthurmaciel: Use apperence in the gnome system->preferences menu [14:43] ShadowofShinobi, I know, but options are limited rigth now and we are getting off track [14:43] inik: meaning? [14:43] wine is an emulation of windows ? [14:43] yees [14:43] cr0w_, Wine is a windows simulation. check www.winehq.org for applications that work with wine [14:43] like 10 , but i change the space allot , downlaod and delete stuff [14:44] gfather1, split it in half, 40gb for ubuntu and 40 gb for windows. that's plenty. Or, you could do 20gb for ubuntu and 20gb for windows and 40gb formatted in FAT or someting for shared storage. [14:44] cr0w_ wine (wine is not an emulator) [14:44] niadh: thanks [14:44] someone free for a few minutes? [14:44] cr0w_, not everything works on it but alot does.. [14:44] ok [14:44] thanks [14:44] i go away now [14:44] i dont want virtualization , becouse im gonna use it for developing , and i hate virtualization [14:44] gfather1 remember SCANDISK DEFRAG SCANDISK [14:44] bye [14:44] cr0w_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:44] cr0w_, no problem [14:44] cr0w_, bye [14:44] notwist, get a tiny livecd that is specifically for checking/formatting disks. [14:44] Pelo: well anyway, good luck with your efforts. hopefully it will give the mother a false sense of security and so she'll ease up on her daughter. ;) [14:44] got some reading to do , later folks [14:45] Muntrue are you free to help me? [14:45] gfather1 if you are going to split your partitions up, DEFRAG DEFRAG DEFRAG its the most important part [14:45] lunaris, I can always try [14:45] i have some media stuff on windows wich takes allot of space , its gonna be a troubles to partetion that thing [14:45] Anyone think they can lend me a hand? I partitioned my disk (which had XP on it), and installed Ubuntu.... but now I can't load up XP... [14:45] gfather1, fair enough, then getting another hard drive is a good suggestion. [14:45] i dont think im gonna partetion [14:45] Muntrue : I have problem with my sata hdd...It wont auto mount [14:45] Hallo ich brauche mal eure HILFE habe mit evulozion Mail ein kleines aber blödes problem. d Die Mailserver nehmen mein Passwort nicht an habe schon die POP einstellungen und meine Zugangsdaten geprüft alles OK wenn er das Passwort annoimt werden dioe Mails angeblich runtergeladen, sind aber nicht im Posteingangsfach zu sehen. tritt erst seit einpaar tagen auf. was muss ich machen?? Danke [14:45] ShadowofShinobi: should have ask on which porn website [14:45] Muntrue : maybe I've made a mistake somewhere [14:45] !de | lothar__ [14:45] lothar__: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [14:45] gfather1 well if you defrag your disk before partitioning there will be no problems [14:46] lunaris, Ouch, hate to say I dont really know alot about that. can you manually mount it ? [14:46] !tr | cleus [14:46] cleus, please see my private message [14:46] Muntrue : Yeas,I can do that from terminal [14:46] yes its seems the most speed and clean way to get ubuntu on my mashin [14:46] lunaris, But you want it to auto mount every reboot right ? [14:46] Muntrue, yes [14:46] Muntrue: It looks like we are in business [14:47] lunaris, You can add that terminal line to the boot file. that would be the fastest fix i know of [14:47] Muntrue, Can you give the command? [14:47] WillLuongo, So glad to hear that.. [14:47] lunaris, I sure can, but hold on for a second i will be back in a few minutes [14:47] Muntrue: Thanks for all of your help, I really appreciate it [14:48] Muntrue, Ok [14:48] gfather1: Thankk you as well, I appreciate your time [14:48] WillLuongo, No problem at all.

[15:12] Miksag1, yes [15:12] k [15:13] Muntrue: It just keeps asking me for the WEP key over and over again [15:13] WillLuongo, the icon in the top right showing wireless location doesnt always mean the card is active. if i remove my usb dongle the wireless locations stlls tay even though i reboot or whatever [15:13] I thought i'd check, i've only been on ubuntu (full time) for about 2 weeks, and I'm not looking to stuff anything up [15:13] axenory usually what I do with wireless dying is sudo killall NetworkManager && sudo NetworkManager , my problems have been with that software [15:13] Muntrue: I meant it was in lspci [15:13] WillLuongo, Oke. It did taht exact same thing for me [15:13] WillLuongo, it kept asking for a WEP key while I used WPA [15:13] Muntrue, Do you know some program for watching TV and listening FM on ubuntu?I have Asus TV/FM card,and cannot use it on ubuntu [15:14] Hi. I have an RT2500 wifi card. I'd like to set it to use 802.11b instead of 802.11g mode (for better distance). How might I go about setting that in Ubuntu? [15:14] Im trying to boot in persistent mode off a thumb drive and during boot it kicks me to a Busy Box Built-in shell, and doesn't boot into Ubuntu. Any ideas? [15:14] lunaris, Im affraid i dont know. you could check around on google for ASUS TV/FM ubuntu [15:14] so it reads again internet (wireless) [15:14] Muntrue: I actually am on a WEP key atm [15:14] axenory it restarts the wireless software stack from scratch.

[15:15] nickrud: can you describe me what was your problem just to make sure we are on the same page, no offense, plz [15:15] Muntrue [15:16] WillLuongo, yes ? :) [15:16] Muntrue: Yes... I may have pressed it... but the light came on lol [15:16] axenory nothing at the kernel level. My problems have never been iwconfig not showing the card. Just the actual connection being made. [15:16] WillLuongo, easy fix right there eh ;) [15:17] Muntrue: Don't know yet, the little networking app disappeared... rebooting [15:17] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 codazoda you might find this useful [15:17] I'm trying to install Dapper Drake from the emc2.2 live CD, and the installation hangs at about 62%-70% each time. I noticed in top that install.py quits. There are so few options in the installer -- is there anythign I can do? [15:17] WillLuongo, Allright , tell me how that worked out.. you can also sudo apt-get install wirelessassistant [15:17] ubuntuless, what is emc2.2 [15:17] /data/hut/GELIEFERT/band/cd4/2004-01-09/etc/termcap [15:17] CNC control software [15:17] Muntrue: Thanks, I'll keep you posted. :) [15:17] WillLuongo, its a bit more advanced wireless client [15:18] nickrud: the thing is that I dont really undeerstand what your issue was, but let me tell you again..... the wireless card worked, Now it just recognize the wireless network but when I try to connect it tryes and always fails... [15:18] ubuntuless, any reason to install such an ancient version? [15:18] axenory so you can see the applet in the panel attempting, but failing/ [15:18] axenory failing to connect, that is [15:18] That's the version that the emc2 people say is most stable with emc2, plus I only have 384 MB of RAM [15:18] when i use wine i always get err:mixer:MIX_Open ioctl(/dev/mixer, SOUND_MIXER_DEVMASK) failed (Invalid argument) and i remember someone in the wine channel told me a while ago that for this to pop up there must be something wrong with my kernel. anyone knows anything about this? :|||| [15:19] nickrud, axenory I could recommend wirelessassistant (sudo apt-get install wirelessassistant) sometimes that works wonders for wireless [15:19] axenory I've got to get ready for work shortly, so don't have a lot of time [15:19] ubuntuless, you should contact the emc2 people then; no idea who they are [15:20] axenory my first troubleshooting step would be tail -f /var/log/messages in a terminal, then try the connection again. You will see some messages about the connection attempt, you may see some clues [15:20] ok, but at this point all I'm doing is a standard Ubuntu install. Should Drake not work on a P4 Dell? [15:21] is there a repo for the newest nvidia drivers? [15:21] ubuntuless, from a standard dapper drake livecd? [15:21] nickrud: thanks! both of you then go to work! hehehe thanks very much [15:21] axenory but it seems that Muntrue knows more about wireless than I do. Like I said, I have minimal experience with one card [15:21] pipl [15:21] from the startup screen and desktop, that's what it looks like, but I know it has the emc2 software added [15:21] Muntrue: I can't apt-get anything on that computer without wifi... lol [15:21] does enyone have kubuntu? [15:21] Sorry, i dont know which channel to choise.So sorry for oftopic question.I cant choise between to video cards GF 8800 and GF 9600...they have same params, and same price [15:21] xD [15:21] #kubuntu Angel_of_Doom [15:22] !envyng | Dedi [15:22] Dedi: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package.

[15:32] yay; i somehow don't really want todo that [15:32] Dedi: then you ahven't configured it correctly [15:32] axenory, ndiswrapper installs the windows driver for your wireless card so you will need that [15:32] is there a way to determine if my proc supports hvm throug /sys or anything like that?

[15:32] Muntrue: WifiDocs/NdiswrapperOnAMD64 I am not using AMD does it work anyway? [15:33] axenory, You will first have to figure out wich window driver you need. you can check the official ndiswrapper list for your card/usb device and go from there [15:33] um.. not quite, i've got open a site linking to it; but being a new user; I'm sorta cautious of sources [15:33] FF|h0lus: ok, does apt-cache search ssh-server result in anything?

I have tested it in a past and noticed no real performance increase between 32-bit and 64-bit (besides some heavy CPU tasks such as enconding) [15:41] hi all [15:41] FF|h0lus: Thats a normal warning, you will always get that the first time you connect. [15:41] Odd-rationale: and do "ssh @(sever_ip_address) from the client machine... [15:41] what I feel abour 64-bit (on any OS) is that for a common user the only real advantage is to support 4GB of RAM or more [15:41] am I right? [15:41] 32bit with PAE [15:42] oops thats Fedora as far as I know Ubuntu doesnt have any PAE kernels [15:42] npope: Only the -server kernel does, not the -generic one. [15:42] You can address up to 64gb of Ram in a 32bit system using PAE [15:42] i think i worked it out; after more googling i found a forum thread [15:42] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=755002 [15:43] Muntrue: I am not seeing anything there, unforunately... [15:43] petersaints: yes you're mostly right [15:43] Pici: thanks [15:43] I got the same error as the original author there. [15:43] thanks for your helps anyway :) [15:43] WillLuongo, Oke i will try to find more information [15:44] Yes but currently I only have 2GB. All I want to know is that if I should go for 64-bit right now!! When I used 64-bit for a few days (some weeks ago) the only problem I've found with it was running some proprietary 32-bit compiled software === betim is now known as b_ [15:44] sometimes the compatibility layer offered by default on Ubuntu is not enough :P [15:44] petersaints: this is still the main problem [15:44] what is my name' [15:44] ok [15:45] i can not get my soundblaster audigy se to work === Granada is now known as izmeh [15:45] WillLuongo, can you try ; sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [15:45] Muntrue: Sure, one minute please [15:46] however I use 99% of software with 64-bit binaries available (from the repository or 3rd party)... The problema is if someday I need to install something that is 32-bit only and I'll have a lot of trouble making it work! :P [15:46] Muntrue: It completed, I'll see if it helps [15:46] *problem [15:46] axenory, How is it working out ? [15:46] i can not get my soundblaster audigy se to work [15:46] i'm trying to build Desmume and it's giving the following error on make. http://pastebin.com/m7f52a1ff [15:46] what does that mean? [15:47] Hi . Is there any alternative for gksudo nautilus command ? i mean changing file permissions ? [15:47] of course if I had 4GB or more I would undoubtfully sacrifice myself and use 64-bit... But with 2GB is there really no point?? [15:47] Muntrue: I dont know it is not listed on the webpage..... [15:47] petersaints: why do you still ask. I told you long ago [15:48] Muntrue: Doesn't look like it [15:48] <_THEGOD> anyone knows a tts engine ? [15:48] Muntrue: I dunno where to get the drivers? should I look for the windoes *.inf ? [15:48] <_THEGOD> for reading sourcecodes [15:48] i can't get synaptic to downgrade firefox from 3.0.1 to 3.0 .. it wants to uninstall a lot of stuff and the version numbering jumps back automatically to 3.0.1 when i try to force it to 3.0... [15:48] axenory, you can get the windows installer .exe and extract that with an app. wich i cant recall the name but i will look that up. then the .inf will be there [15:48] WillLuongo, oke im getting closer to some solid information. [15:49] ---dd [15:49] WillLuongo, just to be sure, you are now connected to that same wireless with a different computer right ? [15:49] my soundblaster audigy se wont work [15:49] Muntrue: Yes, two actually (well, an iphone and a coworker's laptop) [15:49] !doesn't work | smit1 [15:49] smit1: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [15:50] Ok wols ;) I'll just keep 32-bit until I get 4GB or more of RAM (on a future laptop and/or desktop)!! I see development 64-bit for desktop computers like an assurance that when needed (because you have more RAM, etc) you'll be able to use it ;) [15:50] WillLuongo, iPhone, lucky ;) [15:50] i get no sound from my soundblaster audigy se [15:50] Muntrue: :) That depends on your perspective, it is the more expensive first gen... :/ [15:50] WillLuongo, run this; sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces tell me whats there :) [15:50] Muntrue: But I love it [15:50] Muntrue: ok [15:51] hi people, Im intro trouble, I cant uninstall kio-umountwrappe package after uninstalling kde....

[15:53] Muntrue: Should I use gksu instead of sudo? [15:53] axenory, No only wireless. And it is really picky about versions. you will also need to run a few more commands but i really advice you to read the ndiswrapper documentation [15:53] Muntrue: ok I downloaded the windows installer.exe how do I extract it now? [15:53] WillLuongo, nah sudo will do fine [15:54] smit1, caps [15:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/29620/ can someone take a look and see if can find a solution? [15:54] how can i change the number of sides are on the cube, i only have two so it doesnt work [15:54] Can you anyone suggest relatively easy solution for shaping and controling trafic on a SOHO-like network? [15:54] Muntrue: It has the following two lines: [15:54] axenory, I really have to direct you to the ndiswrapper documentation. i will look up the URL for you. It is really informative and helped me alot on setting things up. [15:54] auto lo [15:54] axenory, It has all the info you need [15:54] iface lo inet loopback [15:54] smit1, go into ccsm and under general choose virtual horizontal desktops and switch to 4 [15:54] Hi . Is there any alternative for gksudo nautilus command ? i mean changing file permissions ? [15:54] smit1, change the horizontal number of desktops [15:55] venky: aside from chmod? [15:55] Muntrue: Yea but you said that I have to extract the exe file... how do I do that in UBUNTU? [15:55] WillLungo : how to change with chmod ?

I really want to help you but ndiswrapper is complicated to explain over IRC. [15:55] WillLuongo : how to change with chmod ? [15:55] guys, i get this error what do i do? "Could not load the Host USB Proxy Service" [15:55] venky: chmod 755 filename [15:56] axenory, http://tinyurl.com/yc9t3a <- ndiswrapper documentation [15:56] venky: where 755 is the permissions octet [15:56] mm ok thanks man! [15:56] WillLuongo, After reading some more forum posts i think you too will have to use ndiswrapper [15:56] WillLuongo : Is that octet to get write permission in a file?

When I try to partition the drive using the partitioner on the Ubuntu disk, I get an error that says "Resize operation failure. An error occurred while writing the changes to the storage devices. The resize operation has been aborted." [16:58] Does anyone know how to fix this? [16:58] bazhang: it is. all audio works, EXCEPT ogg audio [16:58] is there a way i can make my root password simple, like 4 letters? ubuntu disallows this, forcing me to use a 7-word/2-number password (because mine is "too simple". while this isn't a huge deal, its annoying and unnecessary and wasn't there in previous versions. does anyone know a work-around this nannying?

[16:59] ah okl [16:59] wishie, you may wish to /join #kaffeine [16:59] bert1: ideally, you should be using sudo and the like. [16:59] I can do that through windows can't i? [16:59] bert1: if you really want a root password, use "sudo passwd root". [16:59] Mr_Duck: I would try that as a first step.... yes, there is a defragmenting tool [16:59] ok [16:59] recon: perhaps i'm confusing my terms. i want to change whatever the password is that i have to enter whenever i login, enter into keyring manager, or install updates or access synaptic and whatnot. thats what i would like to simplify [17:00] Mr_Duck: drefag in save mode [17:00] bert1: then that would be _your_ password, not the root password. Simply use "sudo passwd [insertyourusernamehere]". [17:00] safe mode? [17:00] defrag?? [17:00] why are you defraggina a linux filesystem [17:00] recon, like, "sudo passwd bert new-password-here" ??

[17:01] bert1: you don't need sudo to change your password [17:01] legend: i have done the unpacking of the driver with ./makedrv, but when i try to ./wlan0up i get unknown device. do i need to reboot?

[18:09] i copy and pasted it [18:10] EvilDennisR: i dont know how to do that with chmod. There is no 'allow everyone but john' to view the files.

Even tho youtube quality is bad. It is even worse in ubuntu. like it does not update as fast as it is supossed to. [18:14] can i change the language after choosing it in the installation [18:14] EvilDennisR: I might as well setup an FTP server that has a config option to make the user directory look like the root directory. Only problem is, I dont want to use FTP because its an insecure protocol. [18:14] Does the stock 8.04 kernel support more than one CPU? [18:14] please help me, the tab button of any open window is not visible in the bottom panel [18:14] Greyscale: yes [18:14] muntrue- did you install gnash or flashplayer-nonfree?

[18:16] EvilDennisR, well...close for an idiot [18:16] linuxguymarshall, no not the buffering.

[18:44] I'm trying to create one [18:44] EvilDennisR: there's nothing magical in ext2 or 3 that makes them "non-fragmentable". they're just smart enough to minimize both the phenomenon and the effects it has when it does happen, but it still happens [18:44] this is the problem, [18:44] swamy: you there? [18:44] Hi, I'm trying to install ubuntu to my laptop as a dual boot. When I try to partition the drive using the partitioner on the Ubuntu disk, I get an error that says "Resize operation failure. An error occurred while writing the changes to the storage devices. The resize operation has been aborted." [18:44] TiredWolf: There is no defrag for ext3 filesystems [18:44] EvilDennisR: yes there is. === kamikashi is now known as kappaccino [18:44] EvilDennisR: there is [18:44] EvilDennisR: wikipedia ain't always right [18:45] Mr_Duck: defrag your ntfs under windows [18:45] wols I just did [18:45] can i turn of X temporarily? (I have a vid card driver i need to install...) [18:45] but when I try it again, i get the same error [18:45] Mr_Duck: then check that it actually did. [18:45] EvilDennisR: that tool was written (as a modified version of "defrag") by an Ubuntu member, who came here many months ago to ask for testing. it's now included in Ubuntu, has been for a long time now. [18:45] what do you mean? [18:45] please anyone help me, the bottom panel does not show the tab buttons of open windows [18:45] Mr_Duck: not defrag in ubuntu. defrag in windows! [18:45] I did! [18:45] TiredWolf: great [18:46] Mr_Duck: then use a better defrag program. E:g. get perfect disk trial and use that. it clears the free space [18:46] tech404 told me to defrag in windows, using JKdefrag, which I did. I get the same error. [18:46] hey [18:46] swamy: right click add to panel "Window List" [18:46] Mr_Duck: ...so you're trying to resize /just/ your windows partition [18:46] hello [18:46] crashsystems: no problem. i have no issues starting from scratch, it usually helps. to answer your question, yes its enabled via the Remote Desktop client in Preferences [18:46] Mr_Duck: Are you trying to make it bigger or smaller? if smaller, what are you going to do with the free'd space [18:47] There's only one partition on my hard drive right now, becuase I only have windows installed [18:47] ZeroOP: you are right , i have installed that in the bottom panel [18:47] Right? Sorry, I'm new to this [18:47] ehm a question : what is bether Virtual Box or VMWare ???

If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [18:47] Mr_Duck: So you got the ubuntu install cd and you're using that to try and resize the partition [18:47] swamy: ok try this "rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel" then log out and back in... [18:47] yes EvilDennisR [18:47] @wigren ok, next I would recommend checking to see if the port is open on your desktop. Do you know how to use nmap? [18:48] what is bether vmware or virtual box ??? [18:48] swamy: then your list of boxes should be there, if not try loggin out and loggin on again [18:48] !best | math_b [18:48] math_b: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

[18:48] MAsteredu: each has their own good points... however vbox is a repo download in UBuntu [18:48] EvilDennisR: note that i don't necessarily advocate using it (ext3 IS good at keeping fragmentation to a minimum, generally), but it's there. and if you thrash your partition by filling it up and keeping it filled for a long time, it does get fragmented an awful lot [18:48] whoosp === luukje|Going|To| is now known as Luukje [18:48] !best | Masteredu [18:48] Masteredu: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

[18:48] @wigren ok, first you are going to need to do: sudo apt-get install nmap [18:49] what you mean [18:49] Mr_Duck, you might be better off resizing the partition from within windows to create the blank space for new partitions. [18:49] ZeroOP_: ok , but by default any desktop manager should display the buttons in the bottom panel [18:49] mikere, how do I go about doing this? [18:49] @wigren then the following, but replace the IP for the IP of your desktop: nmap 192.168.1.100 [18:49] ZeroOP_: but i has suddenly disappeared [18:49] swamy: did you try my suggestion? did it not work? [18:49] @wigren this will run for a few moments, and then will tell you what ports are open on that box [18:50] @wigren you are looking for port 5900, which is what VNC uses by default [18:50] Mr_Duck, what version of windows? [18:50] xp service pack 2 [18:50] mikere xp service pack 2 [18:51] I ran apt-get dist-upgrade on an ubuntu server, and now I can't access mysql. I get this error from my BB software: "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (13) [2002]" Can someone give me some direction? [18:51] what you use , what you find bether from the performance ??? VMWARE OR VIRTUAL BOX ??? [18:51] anyone know the name of the program that acts as a "three strikes" firewall for ssh? I'm pretty sure I have it installed, but I can't find it, and can't remember what its called. [18:51] I use Virtual Box becouse it is free , but i heared that it is easier in VMWARE to switch folders from one os to a other [18:51] Odd-rationale: i tried that command but no improvement [18:51] Mr_Duck, you'd go to control panel and then I think computer management and disk management and do it from there. [18:51] crashsystems: ok, do i just run nmap or do i need to add some options? [18:51] Ok, thanks mikere [18:52] swamy: hmm. then we can try something more drastic... [18:52] ILP: ..is mysqld running ? [18:52] Mr_Duck, of course I'm saying that straight from memory - google might give you a more reliable answer =) [18:52] hi, my samba work only in half, i can` see comps in my work group in nautilus [18:52] @wigren normally just running that should show you open ports [18:52] no. [18:52] How do I ls hidden directories in ~ [18:52] Scunizi: ls -a [18:52] EvilDennisR: thanks [18:52] Masteredu: #vmware would be the proper place to dicuss it, since it really has nothing to do with Ubuntu.

[18:53] (II) RADEONHD(0): Query for AtomBIOS Get Panel EDID: failed [18:53] ILP: /etc/init.d/mysql start [18:53] ILP: or restart actually.. [18:53] mikere yeah, I've already defragged, but should I defrag again after I've partitioned? [18:53] When I try that, it thinks for a while and then tells me: [failed] [18:53] swamy: are you using evolution mail? [18:53] Odd-rationale: tell me what to do [18:53] ILP: /etc/init.d/mysql restart ? [18:53] Mr_Duck, nope - and I think I might be wrong about xp being able to downsize a partition - I'm just looking it up right now [18:54] Odd-rationale: tell me what to do [18:54] swamy: ok. are you using evolution mail?

[18:55] crashsystems: if it helps. in firestarter i have both inbound and outbound connections set up as 192.168.2.2/24 [18:55] restart went through alright, but ps -e | grep mysql still doesn't return anything. [18:55] can I ask something? [18:55] ILP: ..make sure you're root when you run that, if not then add sudo infront of it [18:55] @wigren you must specify the ip address to scan when you run it. So if your ip for the desktop is 192.168.1.100, then run "nmap 192.168.1.100" [18:56] @wigren Also, try closing firestarter and see if you can connect [18:56] hi there, I can't connect to my LAMP server from my LAN, something has gone wrong. Can you help? [18:56] Mr_Duck, you could give it a try - but it might not be capable of shrinking. [18:56] daedra: don't ask to ask, just ask. [18:56] @wigren if you can use VNC when firestarter is down, then we have just isolated the problem. [18:57] mikere, are you talking about defragmenting? [18:57] Still nothing. [18:57] or partitioning [18:57] ILP: Any output that would help us diagnose an issue? [18:57] becuase I don't see anything in the control panel about partitiong(in windows) mikere [18:57] ah that felt good [18:58] and it's telling me that there is no need to defragment, because it wouldn't do anything. [18:58] crashsystems: both 5900 and 5901 are open, and unfortunately i have the same issue with or with out firestarter open. is there a command to actually kill the service? or should i try the "stop firewall" option in the firestarter GUI? [18:59] $ sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart * Stopping MySQL database server mysqld * Starting MySQL database server mysqld $ sudo ps -e | grep mysql $ [18:59] Jut like that. [18:59] wigren: pkill -9 NAMEOFSERVICE [18:59] There is no output from ps -e | grep mysql [18:59] I would think that stop firewall would work. firestarter is just a gui for setting up iptables rules, so the stop button should unload them. [18:59] ILP: Check the logs in /var/log/ [18:59] wigren: you can try "firestarter -p" in terminal [18:59] does anyone have steam installed on 8.04 with nvidia card? hows the performance?

Its a good question [19:21] @wigren go ahead and do that, but I do not think the reboot will be nessisary [19:21] Anscombe, http://www.winischhofer.eu/linuxsispart1.shtml [19:22] ed0n0n, http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-networking/4666-internal-lan-cannot-connect-apache-server.html [19:22] ed0n0n, not sure if that is of any help but take a look anyway [19:23] Sylphid|work, I read that, but didn't understand it :/ [19:23] and if 200 is Ok what is (internal dummy connection) ? Gonna read that topic first, thanx :) [19:23] can anyone help me to get OpenGL enabled on my computer? [19:23] crashsystems: this was in the output: * Stopping internet superserver xinetd should i try it with ubuntu's default program and a password again? [19:23] ed0n0n, also : http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/apache2-lan-machines-cannot-access-website-372540/ [19:23] @wigren sounds good [19:24] ed0n0n, Internal dummy connection is nothing to be worried about. it seems to be an auto process. There are many topics on how to reduce these and stop them from logging so much if you want to do that [19:25] crashsystems: success! now what about firestarter? [19:25] hi. why is firefox 3.0.1 not in the repos yet? it's been released from a long time [19:25] join / #gnu_xiitas [19:26] muntrue: the first link is too complicated for me, I have rad the second and realised I read it before [19:26] @wigren well, it seems to me that something in your settings was blocking access to the vnc ports. Go ahead and try vnc again with it running, just to double check. If it still doesn't work, then you'll get to snarf those settings to see where the problem is ;) [19:26] rohan: It's not available for ubuntu versions before 8.04 [19:26] ed0n0n, hehe [19:26] rohan, stuff doesn't get put in the repositories unless it's a critical security fix or very important bugfix [19:26] ed0n0n, is there a firewall on your server going on ? or maybe one installed on your router/modem that limits LAN access [19:26] rohan: i beleive you can get it from the gutsy backport repos... [19:27] muntrue: there is firewall/router but it blocks WAN acces not LAN [19:27] Odd-rationale: backports are another matter, yeah. but you have to request a backport to get a backport (and there's no guarantee) [19:27] ed0n0n, you could try shutting that down for a moment to see if that fixes it. just to be sure and to know where to look if it is that [19:27] hi slight problem, once i install propriety drivers tvtime does not work [19:27] can anyone help please? [19:28] muntru: tried before, its not the firewall [19:28] ed0n0n, can you telnet the server ? [19:28] no [19:29] muntrue are you free for a few min [19:29] ed0n0n, Really strange [19:29] crashsystems: i get the timeout error again, but firestarter doesn't alert me of any thing like it usually does. should i add all the inbound and outbound ports and see what happens? any other ideas? [19:29] lunaris, whats up [19:29] TiredWolf: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy-backports/firefox-3.0 looks like FF3 is in gutsy backports though... [19:29] hi out there! Anybody could tell me, how to change the 60hz refreshrate to 75hz at a TFT wich runs via DVI on a Nvidia 7300GT? [19:29] it stucks at trying IP ..... [19:29] ed0n0n, I have to say im not sure what this could be. You should post your problem on the ubuntu forums. see if someone there can help [19:29] muntrue how are you [19:29] I need to install firmware-iwlwifi package and it sounds like it is in the "non-free", however, I don't know what line to add to /etc/apt/sources.list for the non-free to get firmware-iwlwifi [19:29] lunaris, Im fine :) home from work [19:29] muntrue how can I enable compiz on xubuntu [19:30] @wigren yeah, I'd add explicit rules for allowing VNC traffic coming from your laptop. Hopefully that will work. [19:30] hullo [19:30] lunaris, ouch xubuntu. let me check that [19:30] can anyone help me with alsa and oss? [19:30] muntrue I have downloaded all compiz files from synaptic [19:30] muntrue and from upgrade manager,but it's not showing compiz anywhere [19:31] lunaris, xubuntu does not have the desktop-effects toggle in the properties ? [19:31] muntrue: I have been touching the system too much I guess [19:31] muntrue not that I can see [19:31] lunaris: sudo apt-get install compiz emerald [19:31] lunaris: then alt+f2 and type in "compiz --replace" [19:31] muntrue: What if I uninstall Apache I install it again? [19:32] ed0n0n, You could try that wich distrobution are you running ? [19:32] Ubuntu 7.10 [19:32] Old-rationale I'm on that [19:32] ed0n0n, can always remove apache and try installing it again [19:32] lunaris: actaully, make that "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install compiz emerald compizconfig-settings-manager" [19:33] ed0n0n: Whats your issue with apache ? [19:33] EvilDennisR, He can not connect to the lamp server in hes LAN. getting a timeout [19:33] EvilDennisR: it is not connectable from the LAN [19:33] EvilDennisR, works with localhost tho [19:33] Old-rationale what should I type in terminal? [19:33] lunaris: also, my nick is ODD-rationale, not OLD-rationale... don't try to be funny... [19:33] I have triggered port 80 in case [19:33] nickcynic [19:34] Odd-rationale, hehe classic ;) [19:34] lunaris: type this in terminal "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install compiz emerald compizconfig-settings-manager" [19:34] without the quotes.. [19:34] Odd-rationale sorry,I don't wanted to do that,just my glasses are not on:) [19:34] ed0n0n: So, you're hosting foobar.com on your machine, and when you type in foobar.com it doesn't resolve locally ? [19:34] lunaris: ok. i forgive you.... :) [19:35] EvilDennisR: no domain just LAN [19:35] Odd-retionale : Ok,I'm waiting for execution [19:35] crashsystems: ok, i added inbound and outbound rules for both 5900 and 5901 on the desktop and laptop. but i get the same timeout issue. interestingly, i have full function of the find list now for the first time with firestarter on. im going to step out for a smoke, brb === sacul is now known as sacul_away [19:35] Hello all should I completely uninstall windows and go with ubuntu? [19:35] lunaris: let me know when that is down... [19:35] ed0n0n: So you type in 10.0.16.2 and it doesn't resolv, but localhost does ? [19:35] nop [19:35] Odd-retionale : It's done [19:35] Odd-rationale : It's done [19:35] Hi people [19:35] Odd-rationale : Sorry again [19:35] EvilDennisR: yes, right [19:36] BrandonS, should I by a ford or a mercedes? [19:36] i need to install the latest aMSN version [19:36] but [19:36] A ford because its Cheaper? [19:36] i'm having some trouble installing vmware workstation in hardy. the point it stops at is "cannt build vmmon module". i have g++ installed and all but it won't work :| any clues? [19:36] lunaris: now try alt+f2 and type in "compiz --replace" again with out the quotes... [19:36] BrandonS, If you are not really familiar with ubuntu you should keep windows around in case you mess up [19:36] i lack the knowledge to work with tcl packages [19:36] BrandonS, so is Ubuntu :). but the decision is your to make not ours [19:36] How can I mess up? [19:36] Odd-rationale : Done..I will check now [19:36] I got you all behind my back [19:37] BrandonS, In many ways trust me :) [19:37] this might sound a bit odd but is there a way to apt-get and older version of a program than the latest? [19:37] there are plenty of tutorials explaining on how to create a partition to install ubuntu [19:37] BrandonS- trust muntrue. i've been there. [19:37] BrandonS: go for it, I did! [19:37] BrandonS, You can use wubi and try it out. get comfertable with ubuntu and then make a complete switch [19:37] I'm just going to install it peace all [19:37] ed0n0n: So did this work and then magically broke ? [19:37] BrandonS, if you need to ask that quesation then you should probably try dual-booting for a while until you are certain ubuntu is what you want [19:37] ed0n0n: Or are you just setting it up [19:37] BrandonS: have fun! good luck! [19:37] need help with sources.list [19:37] I've had Ubuntu before but I didn't like the fact I couldn't play a few games but I don't play those games anymore [19:38] when i try to ssh use ssh -p 58405 hostname i get Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer [19:38] BrandonS, ever try wine? [19:38] Yes they didn't support them [19:38] Odd-rationale : What next do I have to do to enable compiz?Or that is all? [19:38] BrandonS, or virtualbox [19:38] EvilDennisR: it was working, I modified Samba conf, installed firestarter, it blew up [19:38] BrandonS- like people said, try dual booting for a while until you're sure ubuntu is the os for you. [19:38] I've dual-booted before [19:38] lunaris: did you do alt+f2 and type in "compiz --replace" ? [19:38] i have dual boot here [19:38] but I'm just going to install it [19:38] yes [19:38] BrandonS, Why ask advice if you are just going to completely ignore it ? lol [19:38] Im sick of windows [19:39] and i'm starting to love linux === KiPSeRoN`away is now known as KiPSeRoN [19:39] Odd-rationale : yes [19:39] BrandonS, then go for it :) and if you need any help come back and ask [19:39] lunaris: what happened after that? [19:39] ed0n0n: I dunno, I've never used firestarter.. Maybe you blocked port 80 ? [19:39] BrandonS- i always had os x to fall on since it's my main os, but i wouldn't throw myself into a new world right off the bat. [19:39] how do I do a chroot ? [19:39] Has anyone notice that the security repos are listed under Third Party in the graphical Software Sources? [19:39] Because it's not the advice I was hoping to hear :P I was expecting you all to be biased and say HELL YEA! [19:39] btw, i have this aMSN package that i can't install [19:39] due to lack of knowledge [19:39] can anyone tip me with this one please :) [19:39] Odd-rationale : Well I see that like compiz is running,but I do not have additional settings [19:39] BrandonS, were not all blind fanboys here lol [19:39] osmosis: You still trying to deny people access via ssh ? [19:39] BrandonS- then... HELL YEAH! just make sure you have everything backed up. [19:39] EvilDennisR: then removed firestarter, and tried again, now it timeouts, seems to connect, ping is ok, but server time outs [19:40] EvilDennisR: yes. apt-cache show rssh [19:40] crashsystems: *back* [19:40] lunaris: ok great! you can adjust all the settings in appliacations --> settings --> advance settigns manager [19:40] BrandonS, we are not here to change the world. least not yet hehe but in the mean time we need to make sure people are comfortable with the decision they think they want to make. [19:40] BrandonS: we would, if we knew you knew what to do with it, and what to expect, but take the leap it can be a fun and bumpy ride! [19:40] im having trouble picking the right keyboard profile for the microsoft natural keyboard 4000 (for ubuntu hardy). the alt key doesnt work :(. im currently using the keyboard layout: microsoft natural keyboard elite ... because i coudnt find a profile with the same name [19:40] Don't need to I only used 20gigs so far on windows and 60% of that is Flight Simulator [19:40] @wigren ok [19:40] hi there, what is a good DVD creator on ubuntu [19:40] Odd-rationale : Just saw them!:) Thank mate! [19:41] hello [19:41] do both alt keys not work or just one? [19:41] Well thanks for the help people Im going to go install ubuntu [19:41] crashsystems: shoud i try other rules, or another firewall? === KiPSeRoN is now known as KiPSeRoN`away [19:41] BrandonS- in that case go go go! [19:41] what's the amount of extra RAM used by x64 software? Imagine that my computers idles at 130MB of RAM (on x86) how much would it use on x64? [19:41] iuri: DVDAuthor is pretty straight forward [19:41] I tried to boot from the ubuntu live cd from xp and nothing happened when i rebooted it just loaded XP like normal [19:41] I'm going I'm going! bb in like 30mins [19:42] wbmj, thanks a lot [19:42] Wright, did you change the bios to boot from cd first? [19:42] I'm having some trouble with my nvidia drivers, can anyone help me out? [19:42] Wright: do you have your cd drive set to first boot [19:42] @wigren I think your packet rejecting policy is set to drop instead of reject, which means that the desktop is not informing the laptop of the packets being dropped, hence the timeout [19:42] Wright-> make sure your bios is set to boot on cdrom as 1st priority [19:42] takamarou: if you give some more detail what the problem is [19:42] iuri: np [19:42] hi [19:42] Wright, not all systems are set to boot from cd by default. you probably just need to change that and then reboot with the cd in tray [19:43] lunaris: if you want compiz to start everytime you log in, go to autostarted applications and create an entry fo rht command "compiz --replace" [19:43] trooper, I had to manually edit my xorg.conf to get my computer to recognize the drivers, and now when I go to Nvidia X Server Settings Dialog it says I am not using the Nvidia X Drivers. When I run the suggested command I get sent back to low graphics mode. I need to get into the settings dialog, or else I cannot enable OpenGL [19:43] @wigren with stuff as complex as firewall rules, I think it is often good to start over when having these kind of problems. Firestarter is just as good as any other frontend, because iptables is always what will be used underneath. [19:43] takamarou: did you try nvidia-xconfig? [19:44] Odd-rationale : I will now:) [19:44] trooper, that is the command that sends me back to low graphics mode [19:44] that is supposed to create the proper entries in xorg.conf [19:44] trooper, unfortunately it doesn't. It makes my driver nvidia, but it needs to be nv. [19:44] @wigren start with a default allow on outgoing, and a default reject on incoming. Then add accept incoming rules for each port you have stuff running on. [19:45] crashsystems: ok [19:45] lunaris: and to switch back to the normal window manager, do alt+f2 and enter "xfwm4 --replace" [19:45] yo, I try to start up my computer, which runs hardy heron satanic edition, but it gets stuck loading soon after the loading logo shows up, goes to a bunch of text that has stuff about "fsck" and things [19:45] gonna reboot both machines just in case, I'll be back :D [19:45] takamarou: when you set driver to nv it breaks down to low graphics? [19:45] @wigren meanwhile, though i would love to stay and help you out some more, I have errands I must run. [19:45] is this an appropriate channel to ask about problems with ssh? i'm trying to make the sshd listen on port 58405 and i'm getting connection reset by peer everytime i try to access http://pastebin.com/f7c9c77a0 [19:45] trooper, no, when I set it to nv it works. nvidia-xconfig sets my driver as nvidia, and then I get sent down to low graphics mode. [19:45] try to access the box* [19:46] crashsystems: thanks so much for your help. seriously, days of frustration nearing an end i think [19:46] takamarou: what video card please [19:46] @wigren you are quite welcome, and I'm glad I was able to help. [19:46] Is there a way to copy a ubuntu install image and format a harddrive and then use the copy of ubuntu so I don't have to do all of my setups and installs again? [19:46] wbmj, e-GeForce 5200 FX [19:46] ...help? [19:46] takamarou: i believe nv is the open source driver for nvidia cards which may explain why nvidia-settings doesnt like it [19:46] !ask | JoeFool [19:46] JoeFool: 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. :-) [19:47] !clone | bob3213243_ [19:47] bob3213243_: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [19:47] trooper, I had it working with nv as the driver setting before.. but after a reboot everything stopped working. [19:47] I asked it, "yo, I try to start up my computer, which runs hardy heron satanic edition, but it gets stuck loading soon after the loading logo shows up, goes to a bunch of text that has stuff about "fsck" and things" [19:47] Odd-rationale : when I typed "xfwn4 --replace" I got Failed to execute child process "xfwn4" (No such file or directory) === meoblast001 is now known as HappyNoodleDance [19:47] JoeFool, we don't support the HHSE. look for help on the apprioate forums [19:47] hhse? === HappyNoodleDance is now known as meoblast001 [19:47] oh [19:48] fuck [19:48] takamarou: does /var/log/Xorg.0.log give any hints? [19:48] JoeFool; when you get that on boot is it checking your drives? that is normal after you've rebooted 35 times. it automatically runs fsck on the disk to verify integrity [19:48] !language | JoeFool [19:48] JoeFool: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [19:48] JoeFool, was to lazy to type hardy heron satanic edition [19:48] trooper, no idea.. I can't interpret that. want me to paste it for you? [19:48] ah [19:48] sorry [19:48] prince_jammys could you help me alittle more with this? [19:48] bob3213243_: that will clone the installed packages. to save your personal settings, perhaps you can save all your dot files [19:48] lunaris: xfcm4 --replace [19:48] lunaris, that should be xfwm4, not xfwn4 [19:48] takamarou: in query please, the last 10 lines or sth should be sufficient [19:49] prince_jammys so it would save all of my ssh and ftp bookmarks? [19:49] wbmj and thor : Thanks,now it's ok [19:49] in query? [19:49] need help with sources.list [19:49] takamarou: double click my nick in the list [19:49] nabend [19:49] bastid_raZor: I am familiar with the disk checking, but this is different. it starts up, shows the loading thing, shows a bunch of text, and I never get to the login window [19:49] trooper, oh, ok [19:49] Hi there. I finally decided to upgrade to 8.04 but now it seems that some kind of error occured since nothing has changed in at least fifteen minutes. The last thing that happend is, that belocs-locales-bin has been installed ("Generating locales...\n de_AT.UTF-8..."). Can anybody please give me some advice what to do about that? [19:49] bob3213243_: saving the dot files (files that begin with a dot) in your homedir would do that. [19:50] JoeFool; 'a bunch of text' doesn't really help in figuring out what the problem is [19:50] prince_jammys I'm confused.lol [19:50] while were at the topic when running two screens with twinview the dialogs open with delay. any ideas?4 [19:50] bob3213243_: do you know what a 'hidden' file (or a dot file) is? [19:50] takamarou: that are the first lines arent they? [19:50] trooper, nope. the last [19:50] I'd google for it, but firefox is currently out of order because of the dist update... [19:50] prince_jammys no [19:51] bastid_razor: yeah, I understand that, all I know is it tells me about several errors (in the file system, I think) and I never get to the login window [19:51] ndiswrapper uses more cpu then native drivers ? [19:51] bob3213243_: you can see them in your file browser if you 'show hidden files', or see them from a terminal with 'ls -a' [19:51] about power managment i talking ? [19:51] !pastebin [19:51] 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) [19:51] bob3213243_: those files contain your user's application settings. [19:51] how secure is a default ubuntu server install? [19:51] takamarou: okay, that doenst help indeed [19:52] F*CK! have rebooted and it is working! [19:52] trooper, would seeing the whole thing help? or not? [19:52] Could someone give me a hand with SANE config? I'm configuring a scanner and it fails. See output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/29686/ (it hangs at the last line and does not continue) [19:52] Bizzeh; as secure as the user is. the user is what makes insecurities. [19:52] takamarou: give it a try [19:52] is there something special with the users group and permissins in ubuntu? I added in /etc/group users:x:900:user1,user2 etc... but all folders where the group is set to users i get permission denied to create files even if I have put read and write and execute rights for owner and group and all users I have tested with are members of the users group [19:52] "bastid_razor: yeah, I understand that, all I know is it tells me about several errors (in the file system, I think) and I never get to the login window" [19:52] bob3213243_: usually, you can just copy those to the home directory of your user in the other machine, and then when you open firefox, for example, all your bookmarks and settings will be there. [19:52] if i change to the adm group it works [19:52] why? [19:52] trooper, http://paste.ubuntu.com/29687/ [19:53] hi, I have a quiestion, there are many dictionaries, hunspell, aspell, myspell, wich one is the best? [19:53] JoeFool; i heard you the first time. i don't know what to help you with. i have nothing to troubleshoot [19:53] ah [19:53] thanks anyway [19:53] preben: Don't manually edit /etc/group, use the command line tools to do it. if you do 'groups user1' does it show 'users'? if not, you haven't successfully added them to the group [19:53] bob3213243_: so use the command from the bot to install all the same software in the other machine, and copy those files i'm talking about to get personal settings.

[19:54] ed0n0n: firestarter prolly set up some bogus route [19:54] EvilDennisR: nice, but I think I will never know the answer [19:55] lunaris: you have to go to advance settngs manager --> general options -- desktop size. and change the hor to 4, ver to 1 and No od desk. to 1. [19:55] EvilDennisR: probably firestarter did something on boot and needed to reboot, you right I think [19:56] I'm configuring my iptables firewall, does anyone know if IPP/CUPS uses udp or tcp?

[20:13] [SOLVED] users group permission problem. There actually exists a users group with id 100 but it wasn't in my group file so I made a new users group as I thought ubuntu didn't have it with id 900. Problem is that the folders set tu users group had id 100 and the user belong to the id 900, so permission problems. Found the users group using the GUI system tools. [20:13] bahadunn: yes, but from a different perspective.. doesn't slows the server down. I prefer it over Xen [20:13] helloz [20:13] vargadanis: have you played around with kvm at all?

Opteron 1xx series :) [20:16] vargadanis: its pretty nice [20:16] there seems to be no mentioning of anything other than loopback in my /etc/network/interfaces, where is the configuration for the rest of the stuff? [20:16] bahadunn: i will chk it out, thx for the info [20:16] vargadanis: they have some pretty nice kvm tools for management of vms too [20:16] vargadanis: no problem [20:16] I have a computer with 2 video card with 2 video out each.

[20:17] vargadanis: you can install on a virtual guest and play around with it without affecting your normal system [20:17] hiptobecubic; possibly try a different port than 58405. 2222 perhaps [20:17] ompaul fail.

[20:27] jduckett: not sure if this will help but you might "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade".. that should do lots of upgrades including the kernel to vs. -19 which might make a difference.

[20:34] It should cause the computer to try to boot from cd [20:35] Qixx, it's not loading the nvidia driver, try cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver, it should show nvidia and not nv [20:35] anto9us: ah, found the line "(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) [20:35] When I plug my ipod into the usb port, rhythmbox automatically loads.

[21:24] can i remount my / as ro so that I can safely run down my laptop battery without worrying an abrupt shutoff will corrupt the fs? [21:24] anto9us: aka formatting is not an option [21:25] family, if you can read it elsewhere do that and backup your files [21:25] how do I define my fstab to give permissions on my external to another user besides my account [21:25] amonkey: no [21:25] amonkey, mount has a remount option.. so yes thats possible. [21:25] any idea about my problem? [21:25] wols: that returns /dev/sdb1: data [21:25] anto9us: baobab not found [21:25] amonkey, i would suggest using a LIVE CD however to do such a task. [21:25] bastid_raZor, great answer lol The thing is, I don't remember the name of the file or what directory it was in. [21:25] how 'bout just formatting it again in linux as vfat?? [21:25] becker_11: not formatted [21:25] anto9us: I can play back the files when the machine is running as a stand-alone. It's just when I attempt to plug it in, hal doesn't want to mount it. [21:25] Dr_willis, that was what I was thinking, just thought i'd jump on irc and check [21:25] amonkey, or boot to the bios., and just let the thing sit till its out of juice [21:25] wols: uh i'm trying to get wireless to work, it doesn't give me a wireless option in the Network Settings [21:26] hi dr_willis [21:26] anto9us: I could try it on another computer [21:26] amonkey, i was thinking letting the battery totally drain was a 'bad' thing. :) but these days who can tell. [21:26] ekow1: that ethernet contrlls is not a wireless adapter [21:26] да уж [21:26] recommended terminal/bash/scripting channel for my question? [21:26] dr_willis: can you help me? my synaptic manager stops working [21:26] ekow1: lspci -nn pastebin the output of that [21:26] !ru | rustem [21:26] rustem: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [21:26] newbiehere, what scripting lanaguage? bash? [21:27] !ru [21:27] xidryck, totally depends on the errors you get when you run synaptic from a terminal [21:27] TelnetManta, sorry, sudo apt-get install gnome-utils [21:27] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [21:27] Dr_willis, its not reporting charge appropriatly, i want to reset it's charge meter which means running it all the way down and then all the way up [21:27] hello [21:27] dr_willis: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [21:27] anyone know how to use wine? [21:27] unop: bash I guess, I want to gett rid of duplicates in multiple directories while maintaining the older timestamp (when they differ.) [21:27] dr_willis: thats the error. can you understand that? [21:28] family, I suspect that you may need to repair the partition but I'd retrieve what I could off it first [21:28] yes, im a bit of a linux n00b [21:28] xidryck, well fromr eading the error message.. DID you do as it suggested? run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' ? [21:28] dr_willis: yes [21:28] Context: I just installed a new video card (an nvidia to replace the onboard intel POS). When I first booted, ubuntu showed me a tool to configure the system-wide display settings. I did it wrong and I now have (at the login screen) a virtual desktop far larger than my screen resolution. How do I fix this? (Once logged in, it works fine since I set the correct one in the screen resolution... [21:28] ...panel) [21:28] what do yellow triangles with a exclamation point's mean? [21:28] dr_willis: i also reboot my system [21:28] newbiehere, #bash then -- but you should do your research before going in there, they don't like spoon feeding .. fdupes detects duplicate files, so read about it a bit [21:28] becker_11, delete the device's partitions using gparted [21:29] xidryck, not sure what to try then. May want to check the forums. Its possible theres a bad cache file that needs to be deleted. [21:29] how do i delete ubuntu using live CD? [21:29] dr_willis: okay [21:29] It cant run on my desktop :< [21:29] Anscombe: remove the partition [21:29] theres no option on start up for it [21:29] hey guys, anybody using ubuntu with geforce mx 440 or such? [21:29] !anyone | gel [21:29] gel: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [21:29] newbiehere, you could also detect duplicates with md5sum or sha1sum, find out dates with stat [21:30] xidryck, like the files in /var/cache/apt archives/ pkgcache.bin srcpkgcache.bin [21:30] anto9us: okay I just did mkdosfs /dev/sdb1 it worked, then I created a folder and a file on the key and that worked [21:30] gel, yes i have in the past .. and that old a card i belive the docs say need the nvidia-glx-legacy driver [21:30] anto9us: I'm going to try it under Arch first, then Windows [21:30] IS transfering my account to another computer as easy as copying my home directory to it? [21:30] becker_11, cool [21:30] my new ubuntu dell keeps crashing violently [21:30] how do i find out why? [21:31] Dr_willis: do you know which legacy driver version is the best? [21:31] Hello [21:31] gel, not a clue. I normally use whatever one is in the reopos [21:31] !best | gel [21:31] everything freezes and the last half second of sound just keeps repeating [21:31] gel: 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. [21:31] do you know what's mean "fry" [21:31] unop: Fdupes does md5 compares but does not address the timestamp dilemma for me which is where I need help. Stat will give me timestamps but this will be thousands of files... [21:31] anto9us: To see if anythign is really wrong with it [21:32] aloo [21:32] family, yeah, backup your data first, I find windows indexing and consequent premature removal to be a big culprit for trashing removable device filesystems [21:32] Can any1 here help me out with installing RAID drivers in ubuntu? I cant get to compile the drivers (missing files in the linux source...) [21:33] the new driver in repos doesn't work well with the mx -> i returned to the older one but I still have glitches and some weird problems [21:33] wols, IS transfering my account to another computer as easy as copying my home directory to it? [21:33] fuck your ass [21:33] How do i make the window tabs of my desktop widgets not show up on the task bar === meoblast001 is now known as meo|Away [21:33] anto9us: Yeah, I'm not the biggest windows fan, but I'd much much rather it work under that OS than have to reformat it... my father put a decent amount of time into the track creation [21:34] guys im getting could not access the cd , pleas make sure other applications are not using it [21:34] ? [21:34] family, you should always make backups of important stuff anyway and remember a backup is only ever as good as a proven restore :) [21:35] anto9us: Well, heh, the only way to really make a backup is to connect it to an external device [21:35] ok, i just enabled join/part hiding to make this channel sane-- can anyone help me pin down why my machine is crashing? [21:35] anto9us: http://midiguy.com/zcart/images/Tascam/DP-01FX_Top.jpg [21:35] that's what it is [21:35] if i wanted it to crash i would have ordered it with windows [21:35] newbiehere, i've just sent you a pm - let me know if you get it [21:36] anto9us: I just reopened the connection. That appeared to do the trick [21:37] Thanks for the input though [21:37] family, see if it will mount and show it's files by other means and then back them up, prove their integrity then repair the partition [21:37] wols: this is what it returned when i typed lspci -nn: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/29715/ [21:37] family, cool, now is the time to backup I would suggest [21:38] anto9us: The zcat worked the files are on the usb key and it now mounts as /dev/sdb on /media/Ubuntu Inst type vfat [21:38] anto9us: lol no kidding [21:38] becker_11, you should be able to continue on your howto now then, got there eventually :) [21:38] how do I install GD for php5? [21:39] anto9us: thx to you [21:39] Can anyone help me - I just had to reinstall Ubuntu Hardy after an uber crash out last night; now, if I have Rhythmbox playing, my XChat won't beep at me. [21:39] QuickGold: apt-cache search php | grep -i gd [21:39] php5-gd - GD module for php5 [21:39] Neither does Skype for that matter [21:39] However, Pidgin does [21:40] Dr_willis, That did not work. [21:40] ekow1: lsusb pastebin the output [21:40] guys any help pleas [21:40] why have gnome's drawers been so buggy for so long and nobody's done anything about it? [21:40] how do i listen to wma it says i have to install restricted software [21:40] hey, i hope this is an easy fix, my system will see my flash drives but will not mount the file systems. I can mount them manually, but that is becoming a pain. any ideas would be helpful :) [21:40] !wma > owner [21:40] im getting could not access the cd , pleas make sure other applications are not using it [21:40] owner, please see my private message [21:41] owner: Try sudo apt-get install w32codecs [21:41] Ubuntu installed on an external drive. Everything was fine until I repartitioned and, using qtparted, copied the OS from one partition to another. Now, boot goes fine, but cannot log in at the kdm screen. If this is a familiar problem, anyone w/ a fix for the simple-minded? [21:41] gfather: did you try to reboot? ;0 [21:41] Saladin, I think rhythmbox is locking up the /dev/dsp device, I think it's configurable to use pulseaudio and pulseaudio is configurable to share it's device, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio [21:42] dr_willis: i have it figured out. i just have to type sudo before the command. and i figured out what cause this. i interrupted an installation. thanks anyway. [21:42] I am using Alsa, according to my sound settings? [21:42] CartoonCat, You really need to be more vervbose and concise as to what dident work. :) others in the channel will read your messages and may know the proper fix. [21:42] Saladin, yeah, that will lock up /dev/dsp I do believe [21:42] sup people [21:43] u guys know if theres a program like nLite for ubuntu [21:43] xidryck, err.. i pasted the command with sudo in front of it as an example. :) of COURSE it needs sudo. heh heh.. I had to train the guys at work 'System tasks need Sudo' :) User tasks do not. [21:43] anyone knows debian packgae maker? [21:43] xidryck, I had to work hard teaching that class :) [21:43] anto9us: Hmmm, it only seems to currently work under windows for some reason. [21:43] Dr_willis, true, my bad. Following the link from the bot about isntalling java did not work. I uninstalled java 5 and installed 6, followed the rest (no selection needed, there is only one java installed it said) but FF still does not work [21:43] anto9us: aka it's not working under my ubuntu install [21:44] dr_willis: sorry i didnt noticed [21:44] why would an updater need u to run under suo [21:44] sudo* [21:44] also inline, checking the FF config, it wants java at /usr/java /usr/j2se, but i do not have those paths [21:44] ill try now [21:44] How do i change a MP3 file to a wav file? please help! [21:44] :) [21:44] You guys think Ubuntu is okay to use for a server to do mail/webhosting on a single website with medium to low volume? [21:44] how can I use lsof to close all open files on a cdrom drive? [21:44] xidryck, :) yep. the ubuntu sudo way.. is not taken into account in the error messages.. of course it sayingyouneeded sudo whenyou diddent would be just as wrong i guess. [21:44] family, yeah, my guess is a partition problem, retrieve your files and attempt repair, always unmount safely from windows [21:45] Can any1 help me with this issue? [21:45] dr_willis: what does sudo really means? is it superuser? [21:45] uriel_, theres several sound tools that can convert. [21:45] uriel_: try http://www.zamzar.com/ [21:45] anto9us: Hmmm. It also seems the my usb thumb drive doesnt' seem to be picking up either under 'buntu [21:45] Jadewolf: Certainly. [21:45] xidryck, 'super user do' I think. :) [21:46] xidryck, 'System Uber command Do' [21:46] Jadewolf: A lot of hosting places use Linux/Ubuntu for their hosting [21:46] dr_willis: ahh [21:46] Linuxguymarshal: I'm back [21:46] xidryck, sudo has some reallyneat features and tricks. its worth reading up on someday [21:46] !ppc [21:46] PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [21:46] Jadewolf: It does, of course depend on what mail server you are wanting to use? If you are wanting an Exchange server, you'll need Windows [21:46] Dr_willis: It's not super user? [21:46] dr_willis: yes i will [21:47] when running a game updater why would it need you to run as a superuser (sudo) [21:47] Hmm. Theres no Ubuntu PPC channel eh? [21:47] family, I've used many usb devices on ubuntu, fat and ntfs, only problems I've had is when they've been connected to windows and unsafely removed [21:47] I had to disks in raid1 before a reinstall of ubuntu. What's the "correct" way to get the raid up and going again? [21:47] hi out there. anybody knows how to change the refreshrate of an tft from 60 to 75 hz in ubuntu linux? I run a nvidia 7300gt graphics card, and the tft is connected via dvi. [21:47] family: system uber command do [21:47] Yud_Zroc, if the game is isntalled system wide..it needs to be updated system wide.. if installed by/as a single user.. the user should be able to update it. [21:48] anto9us: Perhaps it's a problem with this install of ubuntu. perhaps a recent update caused hal to break or something. I've done 2 full system upgrades since its last fresh install. [21:48] Dr_willis: tyvm [21:48] how can I use lsof to close all open files on a cdrom drive? [21:49] I'm trying to resize my ubuntu ext3 partition to take over my newly acquired unallocated space, but it wont let me expand it into that space... why is this? [21:49] hey, I'm still struggling to get my NVidia 9600 GT working with Ubuntu (Hardy), I tried the manu linstall - is there an easy way to remove the files that created ? [21:49] fwaokda: is it mounted? [21:49] ay^, it is right now but a second ago it wasn't I was using the live cd [21:50] wols: lsusb returned http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/29720/ [21:50] ay^, I had to come back into the actual installation because I cannot use my internet on the live cd. [21:51] fwaokda, also seen where if using primary partitions and trying to expand/resize logicals/extended. I thinki had to do that in steps. But the system i had to do this on was weird in other ways. May of been a quirk that one time [21:51] fwaokda: okay, you cannot change the size of a mounted media [21:51] family, I'd recommend to backup and repair or repartition the thumb drive to prove that [21:51] reccomend filesystem for full install? [21:51] ext3 generally [21:51] kiyiko, ext3 [21:51] ay^, i know that but when i have the live cd in it isn't right? [21:52] fwaokda: correct [21:52] Okay good, so I didn't want to expect this to work on ubuntu if it wasn't able to. Thanks for the info. By chance do you guys know a website or forum thread before I hit google that will talk about doing all the necessary steps to make this work? I don't have my static IP yet but its within 24 to 72hours away [21:52] reiserfs is probably a bad idea right now [21:52] ay^, well its not letting me there either thats my question how do i get it to let me resize it there [21:52] hey all [21:53] do we have someone who knows alot about disk recovery, or should i check a different room? [21:53] sk33t0r: hey [21:53] reiserfs might kill your wife :( [21:53] Hey everyone – I just tried to install the server version of Ubuntu 8.04.1 in VirtualBox and got a lovely error telling me that the kernel required CPU feature which were not present. 7.10 (desktop) worked fine. Any ideas? [21:53] :( [21:53] I was wondering if anyone has had problems with firefox recently in ubuntu 8.04 === _Wicks_ is now known as Wicks [21:54] when removing ubuntu is it the linux-swap and ext3 partition? [21:54] all of a sudden my bookmarks are gone and my history doesnt work or anything [21:54] sk33t0r: not me, seems to be working fine [21:54] Jadewolf: I would recommend getting someone to set it up for you if that is what you want to do, and not fully conversant. It is a lot of work in terms of changing DNS settings, and you also need a web server for your website. Other than that, I have no idea where to go for assistance [21:54] Anscombe, normally yes. Linux has at least 2 partitions, a swap and one or more ext2/3 partitions. dependong on how you isntalled it [21:54] kiyiko, ddrescue is quite a useful tool to start with [21:54] I can still visit webpages but nothing else works [21:54] ok thanks [21:55] its my stupid desktop :P just have to use ub on laptop [21:55] Anto9us: Thank you, that fixed the problem as far as I can tell [21:55] Bonjouuur ubuntu ! \o: [21:55] Ive been using konqueror and it sucks compared to firefox [21:55] \o/ [21:55] plutôt bonsoir :) [21:55] :-( [21:55] oups [21:55] anyone experienced similar problems with firefox?? Im trying to figure out how to fix it [21:55] is it an english chan? :o [21:56] Yes, an English channel. [21:56] And sk33tor: what problems have you been having? [21:56] If I install a program with add/remove or synaptic and it doesn't go into my applications bar, where did it install? What folder is the ubuntu equivalent to the programs folder in windows? [21:56] Ok thank you Saladin [21:56] I need /user/src/linux/includes/linux/config.h but this file does not exist. Where is the file (or equivalent like autoconf.h) ? [21:56] rivitingone: you could try typing its name in a terminal [21:56] Rampou: tu es sur un chan anglais fait donc /join #ubuntu-fr [21:56] the history wont work and all my bookmarks are gone.. and it doesnt remember my homepage or anything [21:57] its quite a strange problem [21:57] RemsSs, lol merci, =) [21:57] Nothing I've had problems with [21:57] guess what i think i solved a bug :) [21:57] anto9us: my issue is, a computer had xp, it had a major crash, and was wecovered to me, with fat32 pilesystem. and i need to be able to recoverthis data with ubuntu...i dont know if its possable with switch of filesystem, from ntfs to fat32 [21:57] any page I go to it says this website does not supply identity information [21:57] See you all [21:57] I dont understand [21:58] sk33tor: Do you not use FEBE? And the supply of ID info is site dependant. Most sites DON'T supply that data [21:58] kiyiko, no, don't switch filesystem, just see if it mounts first and gives access to its files [21:58] skeet0r: have you tried reporting to firefox? [21:58] no not yet that was my next course of action [21:58] what does it mean when documention states that a wireless driver has been included in a kernel???? [21:58] I was wondering if anyone has had similar problems and could help me fix it === zera_ is now known as Gohalien [21:59] ldiamond: For your current running kernel, it should be /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/include/linux/autoconf.h [21:59] jduckett, it means support is built in, though you may still need firmware files for it [21:59] jduckett: It means that you have exhausted your quota of question marks. Or more specifically, that the driver is now part of the regular kernel so you don't have to install it separately anmy more. [21:59] wols: lsusb returned: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/29720/ [22:00] just add the firmware files to the /lib/firmware dir? [22:01] when i plug in my htc wizard on the usb, my network stops working in ubuntu, wtf [22:01] jduckett, that sounds right, you should consult the ubuntu help/wiki pages for your device though [22:02] Running dual monitors (configured using nvidia-settings) but the one window keeps scrolling down to match the other when I want both to have custom resolutions. this is a 17" tft connected to a 15" laptop [22:02] k i'm back to square one, anybody want to guide me through getting my wireless internet to work on my laptop? [22:02] weird problem -- I leave in the evening after work, come back to my workstation in the morning and, after being "asleep" all night my computer's sound doesn't work until I restart. Anyone ever encounter anything like this? [22:03] support for Intel wireless 4965 is built into kernel >= 2.6.24, however, lshw -C network shows the device is UNCLAIMED [22:03] As a question to satiate my curiosity, what would cause xserver to break, and tell me that I need to do something with tcp/ip, and concurrently a near constant error along the same lines for Nautilus? [22:03] Hi, my GF bought a Linksys WPC54G pcmcia wlan card yesterday (without my "permission"), and now we're having trouble making it work. It is detected and it finds the wireless network, but she can't connect to it, the connection just stalls. She lives very far away from me, so the only way I can help her is by phone etc (gonna try to get vnc to work today while she's wired up), but do you guys know something I might have forgotten? The card is [22:03] using some broadcom driver from the restricted drivers manager.. [22:03] ekow: what didn't work? [22:03] rotzak: yeah i have that problem too [22:03] guys if tried to restart , and i dont know whats the damn problem [22:03] danfg, I'm guessing that's a mobile phone, I think it's detecting a new network device and breaking, maybe you can disable usb networking on it? [22:03] rotzak: i googled a lot and found this, hope it helps: http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=209740&highlight=hibernation+sound&page=2 [22:03] thanks danfg, i'll check it out === mark_ is now known as compu73rg33k [22:04] ay: i recently installed ubuntu, the wireless doesn't work right away and i'm very new to linux so i don't know where to start to get it working [22:04] anto9us: yes it detects a new network device, i wish it wouldn't try to use the new device for internet access or whatever, which i guess is what makes networking stop [22:04] on hardy is there a way to find waht program is holding the audio [22:05] danfg, happens on my sony erricsson k800i, I disable usb internet on the k800i's menu [22:05] I'm trying to set up my nvidia 9600 GT with Ubuntu Hardy (Followed all instructions, searched google for hours now) -- still getting the error that "Compatible NVidia X driver not found!" in Xorg.0.log [22:05] I'm using the manual install, and have run the nvidia-xconfig [22:05] anto9us: oh, i so it's an option in your phone that tries to use the internet thru usb? [22:06] danfg, it didn't work properly anyway, don't know if it's my phone company not supporting it, I had to configure dialup [22:06] Qixx: 173.14.09? or there abouts for driver version [22:06] NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-173.14.05 [22:06] anto9us: well, i'd still like to do that, but on windows. on linux i just don't want my desktop's network to stop working [22:06] danfg, no, I think it's an option to provide internet through usb [22:07] simple question: doest fstab make needed subdirectories on boot, or do i need to mkdir /media/mounpoint ? [22:07] ]installed ubuntu yesterday with 'ubuntu-8.04.1-dvd-amd64.iso' [22:07] hay [22:07] Reaby: yeah it does afaik [22:07] danfg, specifically, you connect your phone and it becomes a networking device for you computer to use, ifconfig should list all your network devices [22:08] danfg: ok thanks [22:08] rotzak, I have exactly the same problem. I remember reading a howto explaining the fix, but it's a long time ago [22:08] I did get the weird "error" : WARNING: Unable to perform the runtime configuration check for library 'libGL.so.1' ('/usr/lib32/libGL.so.173.14.05'); assuming successful installation. [22:08] ekow: sorry I got lost in some documentation.. but you could always try dmesg and look for anything that has to do with you wireless [22:09] dell's vista insprion comes with some really good hardware for the $$$ vs ubuntu insp. You guys think i'd be any worse installing ubuntu myself? [22:09] what can I do about the smaller monitor that keeps sizing windows too large when running dual monitors? [22:09] ok, np [22:09] anto9us: ah ok, makes sense. i'd still like ubuntu to prioritize the network devices, so a new network device shouldn't be used instead of the current one that is still working, dunno [22:09] mortal1: I did that on a 1525 [22:09] support for Intel wireless 4965 is built into kernel >= 2.6.24, however, lshw -C network shows the device is UNCLAIMED [22:09] what's the command for viewing the progress when you boot up? it hangs sometimes and I wanna see why.

[22:17] ay: i typed dmesg but what am i looking for? [22:18] S3a: I had the same problem when I first installed Ubuntu, and all it took was some readjusting - took a while, but once you get it sorted, it's sorted.

[22:28] does anyone know of a utility available in the repo that can monitor a list of ip addresses using ping.. a qt/gtk utility that can quickly check.. nothing like a full blown network monitoring tool [22:28] hiptobecubic, yeap [22:28] no, unfortunately not [22:28] bmunger: nmap [22:29] bmunger: nmap -sP 192.168.1.1-255 [22:29] is there a way to put it on its own? [22:29] nmap will sit there and report when an ip address goes down? [22:29] grizlo42: yes [22:29] *move it to its own* [22:29] how? [22:29] grizlo42: then you jsut point ubuntu to use that home parittion. all yoru data would be saved. [22:29] grizlo42: you can switch to any distro you want as long as you point it at that partition. [22:29] Grejao, browse to /boot/grub on the ubuntu fs and see if you have an old menu.lst in there [22:29] histo: i dont think it will sit there and alert when an address goes down and up.. thats what im looking for [22:30] hiptobecubic: deniz@deniz-desktop:~$ pavumeter --record [22:30] ** Message: Starting in record mode.

[22:30] hiptobecubic, i think that you don't understand... /boot on ubuntu are the same /boot on centos,,, this is an alone partition,,, and when i install centos they format /boot [22:30] grizlo42: i'm sure you can find one for your distro as well. [22:30] ok [22:30] grizlo42: directions will be basically the same. [22:31] bmunger: nah it won't you would have to re issue the command. [22:31] i dont have any /boot partiton at ubuntu [22:31] s3a, did that show you a little window with vu meters in it (bars that move when your microphone picks up sound) [22:31] bmunger: let me see what I can find [22:31] does icedtea6 work with opera? [22:31] JC_Denton_: do you mean that the desktop size seems to go beyond the confines of your monitor? [22:32] hiptobecubic: ya but the coloring or wtv is but very low [22:32] sigh, that skips the hardest part - partitioning [22:32] I just d/ld the .iso for intel pentium.. I tried installing and got a kernel panic.. VFS.. something or other.. This all despite the write verification.. I am writing the .iso again to a new disc.. is this common or just a glitch on my system? [22:33] bmunger: maybe someone else would know of something. But i'm sure you could make some sort of script with nmap [22:33] Grejao, my mistake. So when you turn on your computer, it boots straight to centos? [22:33] Hello I want to kill both double entries in a .txt file. Any hints? I want to clean a white.txt list from entries of a black.txt list. any hints? [22:33] ay: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/29737/ [22:33] tovella, yes but I've solved that one [22:33] hi [22:33] hey guys, I'm using xp atm, was fine watching a video till the network cable went off, now I can't see my file server via windows networking, samba is the same, everything is the same, I can ping, I can access my website, I can do everything else except browse via windows networking, any ideas? (already restarted everything) [22:33] exit [22:33] network cable fell out of my ubuntu server [22:33] tovella , now the primary monitor seems to be switched though [22:33] hiptobecubic, at ubuntu boot partition at ubuntu, but they are clean, its because ubuntu mount /dev/sda1 over /boot when at startup ... [22:34] yapp, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diff [22:34] JC_Denton_: ahh, dual headed configuration... are they the same model of monitor? [22:34] i think that if i copy ubuntu /boot/* files to boot folder over ubuntu and change /etc/fstab it will work ... or not? [22:34] Grejao, does grub of any kind load when you turn on the computer? [22:34] yep [22:35] http://img65.imageshack.us/my.php?image=zrzutekranutvtimegiveyoqc4.png how fix this poblem ;) [22:35] Grejao, as i understand it, grub doesn't do things the same was as fstab. fstab is read later on in the boot process i think [22:35] the same way* [22:35] humm ok... [22:35] how can i fix the automounting of my usb drives without reinstalling? [22:36] tovella: no, its a 17" tft connected to a 15" laptop [22:36] i have an usb hard disk with 5 partitions on it. One of the partition is empty. However when i check the free space with df it show that i am using half of the partition. I have empty my tras en anbled hidden folder view. My partition is still half used. Can anyone determine whats has happend with the used half ? [22:36] JC_Denton_: nvidia-settings should be able to change that (which is primary & which is secondary)... drag & drop the displays. [22:36] Grejao, so when you boot, it doesn't read /boot/ it reads from somewhere else? Do you have a choice of OS when you boot? [22:36] hiptobecubic, under grub i can boot only centos,,, at /dev/sda1 i have only centos files(kernel and other files) [22:36] Hello all. I have a question related to installing SlingPlayer in WINE. Anyone that might be able to assist me? Or is there a better channel to ask in?
