[00:00] nickrud: i dont remember how i installed it, i have firefox 3 the lastest version [00:00] david_-> what is this Nero you have downloaded, is it a tar.gz file? did you read the instructions how to install it from the site you downloaded it from? [00:00] Hello o/ [00:00] Thanks to both but no help in Nero. Amenado no its not tar [00:00] I just picked up a 50-in-1 reader/writer for various memory cards (CF, MMC, etc). It works on my son's vista laptop, but doesn't light up or work on hardy. It shows up as a high speed USB device using ehci_hcd, but not as a disk. Ideas? [00:00] nickrud: but all of my shortcuts execute old version [00:00] glitsj16: actually /usr/bin/firefox -> firefox-3.0 in hardy [00:00] david_-> is it a .deb file? [00:00] Amenado it's the trial for Nero 3 for Linuz [00:00] teq, it matters a lot. If you used synaptic, you just need to be sure all instances of firefox are exited. If you installed it as a binary from mozilla, you would have to change some stuff to use it over the ubuntu version [00:01] mrgreen: that didn't work for teq he just said [00:01] david_-> there's got to be an install instructions, or else no one going to be able to use it [00:01] nickrud: i think i installed it as a binary [00:01] glitsj16: it's a standard hardy symlink. sorry for missing the issue. [00:01] teq, ok, where did you install it? [00:01] Hi, anyone know where the compiz config file is on 7.10?.. I've enabled visual effects but want to customise a bit more than 'display preferences' lets you [00:01] mrgreen: no problem [00:01] Well that's the position I'm in right now. [00:01] nickrud: leme check [00:01] is there a way to have a remote shell to set a local xterm title? (Ie I would like to have bash, running on a remote machine via ssh, to set the title of the xterm running on my local machine) === tolecnal_ is now known as tolecnal [00:02] mgreen: and sorry for calling you mrgreen :) [00:02] david_-> you have google to assist you, find out where you downloaded it from and read the instructions from there [00:02] zvacet - how do I know if its a bin file? [00:02] teq, I'm assuming this is not ubuntu 8.04 you are using? [00:02] nickrud: 7.10 [00:02] Hum... I need some help :/ I can't install and use mercury. I had yesterday ( but I had formated, accidently :x ( sorry for my very bad English ) ) [00:02] david_ : did you downloaded deb file fron nero site [00:02] teq ok. [00:02] glitsj16: it's the fourth time in two days. no biggy ;) the 'm' is for my first name, so you're not really off [00:02] nickrud: home/eduardo/firefox [00:02] Amenado - isn't there a general rule using the Terminal for install new downloads? [00:02] mate 500 OOPS: could not bind listening IPv4 socket [00:03] what that means>? === palmtree__ is now known as palmtree [00:03] zvacet Yes I did download from Nero - I suppose it's a deb file? How would I know [00:03] david_-> its dependendent on what the download is.. [00:03] I'm completely lost. [00:03] teq: what version are you on? firefox 3 is standard in Hardy Heron [00:03] nickrud:7.10 [00:04] mgreen: 7.10 [00:04] david_ : because you can choose between deb and rpm on that site choose deb for your arch [00:04] david_-> you wont get lost if you read some, go back to the site you found info on nero and read the blurbs [00:04] teq, ok, do this: mkdir ~/bin && ln -s ~/firefox/firefox ~/bin . Then close that terminal, open another and try running firefox from the terminal [00:04] alien [00:04] teq: ok, backports installation? [00:04] Thanks amenado. === reenignEesreveR- is now known as reenignEesreveR [00:05] nickrud: didnt work [00:05] i'm waiting on a sata cable to get here for my secondary sata harddrive - I won't have any problem setting up dualboot right? [00:05] zvacet Its an rpm file and when double clicking it just opens it up and indicates the size and says folder [00:05] right? bueller? [00:05] david_ download the nero Deb file from here http://www.nero.com/enu/downloads-linux2-update.php then right click and install [00:05] pelo: I enabled it like you asked and rebooted and so far no problem. [00:05] mgreen, thanks nickrud is helping me :) [00:05] It's nerolinux-3.5.1.0-x86.rpm [00:05] mates [00:05] i want to set up 2 workstations with ubuntu on the same network. I'm installing the second one now. should i set the hostname to be the same? [00:06] david_ : you need deb file [00:06] Add the following line (uncomment line) to the vsftpd configuration file: cant add it [00:06] :( [00:06] Thanks a million legend2440 I will try that [00:06] david_no click button next to deb 32 [00:06] teq, then try ~/bin/firefox [00:06] I moved my installation of Ubuntu to another pc from hd0,0 to hd0,4. On kernel updates it uses the old hd0,0. Can I change this for the future updates? [00:06] zvacet Thanks to you too [00:06] or i could just plug in the other harddrive to the motherboard when i want windoze - manual dualboot =) [00:06] teq: sure, but there is a backport way to do the installation that is recommended [00:06] I got an idea regarding Ubuntu: http://www.ainotenshi.org/2008/07/23/meta-package-marketplace/ [00:06] amenando [00:07] after setting up my dual display and enabling compiz effects, i noticed that menus on my main monitor open with 1 second of lag, and on my tv they open normally, is there a way to correct this? [00:07] local_enable=YES cant add it :( [00:07] mgreen, 3.0 is in gutsy-backports? [00:07] nickrud: that worked, did that fixed my shortcuts aswell? [00:07] Add the following line (uncomment line) to the vsftpd configuration file: [00:07] !who | tmc_ [00:07] tmc_: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [00:07] teq: no dice...3d effects asks me to install the restricted driver even after installing glx-new from the shell [00:07] david_ : I will go for nero 3 [00:07] anyone have any ideas? [00:07] nickrud: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy-backports/web/ [00:08] teq, eventually, yes. do cat ~/.bashrc , and look at the very end. You should see something like if [ -d $HOME/bin ]; then export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH fi [00:08] MuzikJunkie2: glx-new is a restriced driver [00:08] !amenado local_enable=YES cant add it Add the following line (uncomment line) to the vsftpd configuration file: [00:08] tmc_: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:08] nickrud: yes, the backports way is better [00:08] hmm [00:09] how i do a message to a name? [00:09] tmc_-> why you can not add it? did you follow the steps step2 sudo vi /etc/vsftpd.conf ? [00:09] nickrud: it says if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then . /etc/bash_completion [00:09] !hostname [00:09] Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab [00:09] teq, another choice (fits better with ubuntu) is system->admin=>software sources , updates tab and enabling backports. then sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0 [00:09] did that [00:09] i see a big list but... cant write anything [00:09] tmc_-> look you have to put a nick in front.. [00:10] teq and nickrud, sorry to intervene again... but are you guys sure you're on the right track? [00:10] amenado cant add anything better/ [00:10] I have an hp laptop with lightscribe. Ive got the drivers and the simple labeler installed. It detects my drive and says that the burn is successful, but the disk is still [00:10] teq, I must have added that line to this bashrc the. But see my last, you'll find it fitting in with your system better [00:10] help [00:10] tmc_-> do you know how to use vim or vi ? [00:10] no [00:10] nickrud: there isnt any option to enable backports [00:10] !backports | teq [00:10] teq: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [00:10] tmc_ then try to use the nano editor instead of vi or vim [00:10] zvacet / legend2440 I downloaded versio 2, but same problem. I then tried to right click on the version 3 and couldn't find install so I clicked on extract here [00:10] mgreen, i dunno if im in the right track or not lol [00:10] mgreen, he's just got to get firefox (binary) on the path, and having the link in ~/bin works very well since he put the binary in his home [00:11] nano vi /etc bla bla bla? [00:11] teq, I don't have gutsy, see if backports is listed on any of those tabs [00:11] ja [00:11] better [00:11] i want to set up 2 workstations with ubuntu on the same network. I'm installing the second one now. should i set the hostname to be the same? [00:11] tmc_ you need to do some prior legwork, i can not assist you on every step, you have to learn how to use an editor [00:11] nickrud: yes, that will work, but it's not a very good way to do it [00:11] ja :D [00:11] zvacet/legend2440 - I now have 2 files available that say etc usr [00:12] mgreen, have you noticed my mentioning of backports? [00:12] but how to saveLD [00:12] can tell me that? [00:12] after setting up my dual display and enabling compiz effects, i noticed that menus on my main monitor open with 1 second of lag, and on my tv they open normally, is there a way to correct this? [00:12] nickrud: by the tone of that, i should probably just go to bed ;) [00:12] mgreen, having ~/bin conditionally added to the path you mean? [00:12] nickrud: it doesnt say anything about backports [00:12] mgreen, there's a tonne of ways to do this ;) [00:13] how can i install artwiz fonts for fluxbox on ubuntu? it looks like there is no more xfonts-artwiz package as of gutsy. :( [00:13] mgreen, tone not meant to be dismissive by the way :) === iqson716 is now known as iqson716_ [00:13] teq, hm. put a copy of /etc/apt/sources.list on paste.ubuntu.com.

[00:14] ok so any help with the eggy yet???? [00:14] nickrud: great. that's a better path, since security updates and such will work much better.

[00:15] mgreen, heh. I have no faith in security for backports, I believe what I read. And, firefox does autoupgrade when installed binary.

Any advise? [00:32] echosystm: easiest way is to backup somewhere, really. if you use the alternate CD, it's possible to keep home, but you need to be careful and know what you're doing [00:32] Dusk_ : ubuntu isnt for "showing off" distribution [00:32] it gave me an error and it said its too small to be partioned @ nickrud [00:32] so, when i reinstall i should make a dedicated /home partition? [00:32] <__yy> echosystm: that's why is usually a good idea to put /home on another partition [00:32] if you want to show off your "skills" then use Slackware [00:32] i thought 6 gigs is enough for ubuntu [00:32] ok [00:32] orgthingy, what do you mean by showing off? [00:32] echosystm: that's up to you, but it's a setup i'd recommend [00:32] if you love compiling, then use Gentoo [00:32] echosystm, use the alternate cd to install, move all your stuff in /home to /data, manually delete all other directories, then when you install do manual partitioning and tell it to NOT format the drive [00:32] i'll do that then [00:32] cheers [00:32] :) [00:32] Dusk_ : dictionary.com [00:32] echinos, then move it all back [00:33] Dusk_: your problem is solved (i think) in link that you gave to us , do what they say there [follow the white rabbit] === scarletrae1 is now known as Shayrae1 === suselin is now known as gway9000 [00:33] or they wouldn't have a whole thread about it, would they [00:33] krajan, ifconfig thing??

[00:40] * nickrud thinks *finally* getting nvidia to work is nothing to toot about [00:40] anyone help with a tlc problem????? [00:41] * Pelo thinks nick can go toot something [00:41] * nickrud already tooted a cigarette === orgthingy_ is now known as orgthingy [00:41] krajan: thank you SO MUCH!!! :) [00:41] Pelo, it's good to see you back if I haven't said so already [00:41] vices: n/p [00:42] !ask | Mr_Fixit [00:42] Mr_Fixit: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [00:42] if i want ubuntu and windaz on one computer [00:42] i asked the question... [00:42] what is the best way to share "my docs" ? [00:42] i'm screwed with a tlc problem... [00:42] nickrud, you can say it a few more times I can use the ego boost [00:42] ;-) [00:43] does ubuntu have full ntfs support? [00:43] i can't seem to find or locate the tlc while i'm compiling an eggy [00:43] Where are all of the Synaptic config files stored? [00:43] echosystm : I think yes, my HDD's (ntfs) works fine (read,write) [00:43] SealedWithAKiss, what exactly are you looking for ? [00:43] so any tutorials on setting up software raid with ubuntu? [00:44] echosystm: go to repos and search for ntfs [00:44] !raid | bonhoffer [00:44] bonhoffer: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [00:44] echosystm: or just use FAT, which is supported out of the box [00:44] Pelo, I was recently instructed to modify some kind of Synaptic configuration file on my computer, only I can't remember which one. Now Synaptic isn't working. [00:45] hi! how do i get the lastest version of compiz-fusion? thanks! [00:45] osfameron: my hard drive is too big to use FAT [00:45] echosystm: well, you could use FAT for a shared docs partition [00:45] SealedWithAKiss, this channel is loged, you can try checking those out if you remember the day so you can find the instructions you were given again [00:45] is there a package of tools that will allow me to use my laptop like a fluke tool to analyze netowrk links etc? [00:46] echosystm: then use ext3 for the linux and ntfs for windows, or whatever you want to use [00:46] while trying to install an eggy with ./configure it spits out cannot locate tcl to compile... [00:46] teq, you'd have to compile it [00:46] Hi. What do I need to install in Hardy to get commercially bought DVDs to play? [00:46] *i have it installed but can't locate the files it's looking for.. [00:46] Mr_Fixit: what about using the handy precompiled package? [00:46] SealedWithAKiss, what error are you getting? [00:46] hey all [00:46] krajan: if I wanted 900k, would it be 900k instead of 10m ? [00:46] i used that one thanks.. [00:47] can't figure it out still... [00:47] anyone know when they will update to firefox 3.0.1 in repository? [00:47] CorpseFeeder: codec's ? or movie player ?... [00:47] hi i have a quick question [00:47] nickrud: how [00:47] krajan: thanks :) [00:47] Pelo, nah. I don't remember the day. I'm not on here much, would it be possible to search the logs for conversations of specific users? [00:47] vices, yes it can be, its your choice [00:47] krajan: got it :) [00:47] nickrud: sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion? [00:47] krajan, yes, codecs needed to play encrypted discs [00:47] Mr_Fixit, you probably need the tcl headers, tcl8.5-dev [00:47] SealedWithAKiss, yes, the logs are just html or txt file , your choice you can crtl_f them , but they are devided in days [00:48] does myth tv display closed captions? i'm thinking of buying a tv tuner [00:48] !log [00:48] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [00:48] how do i cd into a folder that has a space in the name? [00:48] in software sources, it says that important security updates isn't checked, and when i check it, no check comes on it, what is wrong? and or how can i check to make sure that they are on? [00:48] nickrud, Reading package lists... Error! [00:48] E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room [00:48] E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room [00:48] E: Error occurred while processing sdic-gene95 (NewVersion1) [00:48] E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_dapper_multiverse_binary-i386_Packages [00:48] does anyone find that ubuntu performs significantly worse for flash videos than windows?

[00:48] could someone help me get my built-in microphone to work on my acer laptop? [00:48] i'll try it out nickrud [00:48] CorpseFeeder: install gstreamer plugins [00:48] echosystm, yeah it does [00:48] Ooops! [00:48] teq, no, getting the source from the developers and compiling it. The best way to get the latest version of ubuntu [00:48] why is this? [00:48] i cant even watch youtube :( [00:48] echosystm, the flash videos are always blocking the menus [00:49] nickrud: ahh too bad for me, 8.04 doesnt work on my box [00:49] SealedWithAKiss, ah, ouch. put a copy of /etc/apt/sources.list on paste.ubuntu.com. May have too many there, and need to make an adjustment there or in a setting [00:49] echosystm, youtube works though, but i don't watch it much cause there usually aren't any subitles, and I'm HOH [00:49] echosystm: adobe's engineers prioritize Windows and Mac. Are you surprised? [00:49] in windows, youtube runs at full speed. on here, i get frame skip. [00:49] Pelo, how do I access the logs? [00:49] does anyone use myth tv ? [00:49] !log | SealedWithAKiss [00:49] SealedWithAKiss: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [00:50] that said, I don't have problems with youtube except for when flash hangs firefox completely (I believe Firefox 3 runs flash in a sandbox, which should help with that) [00:50] could someone help me get my built-in microphone to work on my acer laptop? [00:51] thanks nickrud that solved the problem [00:51] echosystm: my youtube works fine [00:51] I've actually had flash + ff3 reset my desktop [00:51] in GRUB's menu.lst, what does the command lock do? [00:52] echosystm : do you have graphic acceleration ? [00:52] anyone else find it annoying that picasa forces you to give a folder name on import instead of just sorting and naming folder by date taken like most photo organizers? Is there anyway to change this? [00:53] nickrud, http://paste.ubuntu.com/29789/ [00:53] riegersn, why not just name the folder the date? [00:53] FAJALOU, prevents editing the grub options for an os stanza from the grub command line [00:53] nickrud: so is it the same thing as it being pw protected? [00:53] does anyone use myth tv or a similar tv media center? [00:53] SealedWithAKiss, ouch, you have mixed dapper and feisty sources there [00:54] I'm having a problem with avahi and a new router... somehow packets (like ping) are taking very long to be sent to an avahi host [00:54] susanna777, i have been but then you have each folder under to root of your watched directory. instead of having like a 2008 folder and months under that [00:54] though using the IP directly goes fine [00:54] could someone help me get my built-in microphone to work on my acer laptop? [00:54] nickrud, is it really that painful? ol [00:54] !eggdrop > Mr_Fixit [00:54] mr_fixit, please see my private message [00:54] FAJALOU, no, if it's password protected you need the password to boot. If you know the password to boot, you can still edit the grub boot line during boot, unless it's locked [00:54] riegersn, oh i haven't used the program [00:54] I just downloaded Nero 3 trial for Linux and have it in my downloads file. Can anyone tell me how to actually install it please. [00:55] susanna777, what do you use for photos? [00:55] nickrud: so if it's locked, you cannot access that entry in grub? [00:55] riegersn, oh i don't take photos [00:55] later folks [00:55] FAJALOU, you cannot 'edit' it [00:55] riegersn, my mom does, but she uses windows [00:55] FAJALOU, by editing, I mean changing the boot options on the fly during boot [00:55] · if i use the guided resiye SCSI3 (0,0,0) partition #3 (sda) and use freed space option, it will leave my mac one intact? [00:56] I have a song, and I want to put album's picture [00:56] HOW :'( [00:56] i dont know how to make slideshows in linux :( [00:56] SealedWithAKiss, can be, yes. did you try to do a dist upgrade? And mixing feisty with dapper is really bad, since they are more than one release apart [00:56] DavidCanarias: What type of file is it? [00:56] nickrud: ok so if i restarted my computer, and in grub there is a lock on an entry then i would not be able to boot to it, correct? [00:56] Can anyone please tell me how to install a Nero 3 program Ive just downloaded as I'm new to all this. Thanks [00:57] a [00:57] · if i use the guided resiye SCSI3 (0,0,0) partition #3 (sda) and use freed space option, it will leave my mac one intact? URGENT DONT WANT TO LOSE DATA. Should I hit continue and can I be safe? [00:57] bobertdos - thanks. it's an rpm file [00:57] Nickrud, well the file you just told me to paste wasn't the one that guy made me edit, and things were fine before with that file just the way it is. [00:57] FAJALOU, you can boot to it. During boot, you can edit the entry, changing how it boots. Lock prevents that [00:57] DavidCanarias: Oh, and you're using Hardy Heron, right? [00:57] DavidCanarias, you need to get the deb file [00:58] whats the keys on ubuntu like windows has ctrl atl del [00:58] nero has them [00:58] bobertdos - thats right [00:58] what is it for ubuntu [00:58] nickrud: so if i wanted it to ask a pw before it boots to the specified entry i would have to use the password --md5 ? [00:58] oobe how do I get the deb file [00:58] not sure [00:58] oobe: Well, he can try alien first. [00:58] SealedWithAKiss, ok, then: grep -r Cache-Limit /etc/apt/ , does that bring any output? Capitalization matters [00:58] oobe: if he wants to, that is [00:58] How do i add running applications to a panel or make the panel show them ? [00:58] holyhell; what partition is OSX installed on? [00:59] bobertdos and oobe. Have I got the wrong file downloaded then??? [00:59] Mine is an rpm file and I need alien - whats that??? [00:59] well i only have the osx partition and then i created 6 gigs for windows in bootcamp but its emptz @ bastid_raZor [00:59] DavidCanarias: Well, if there IS a deb file available, that would be better. [00:59] DavidCanarias, next time get a deb file you can try to use alien but it will go much smoother since you dont know much about linux to just re download nero as a deb from there site [01:00] FAJALOU, now, password protecting a single boot os, that's something I'm not sure of, I've never done ti [01:00] could someone help me get my built-in microphone to work on my acer laptop? [01:00] has anyone used myth tv or can anyone tell me if it displays closed captioning or not? [01:00] nickrud, /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf:APT::Cache-Limit "8388608"; [01:00] i dont know how to make slideshows in linux :( [01:00] HOW :'( [01:00] please help! [01:00] nickrud: who said it was single boot? ;) [01:00] holyhell; that isn't what i asked, which partition is OSX installed on.. since it is giving you the exact partition is going to to install to. but regradless it is best to manually make a partition for ubuntu from the free space you have. you'll be resizing the partition that has OSX on it probably [01:00] bobertdos y oobe - OK I'll try to get a deb file. But what do I need to do after its downloaded to install it [01:00] http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/dynamic-mmap-ran-out-of-room-error-when-adding-new-apt-source-list-233417/ , use the post just below the one mentioning 8388608 ;) [01:01] i am just gonna give up guys it think and run ubuntu from the cd [01:01] if i ever need it [01:01] DavidCanarias, e.g dpkg -i nero.deb [01:01] FAJALOU, I understand what you're saying, I meant say I had ubuntu debian and windows all booting, having a password for just one. I've always locked all three [01:01] i dont wanna screw up my data and brand new macbook [01:01] orgthingy: open office [01:01] orgthingy, open office presentation [01:01] holyhell; run ubuntu in a virtual machine on your mac [01:02] oobe thanks I will try that [01:02] holyhell, heh. Do a backup, and if it's a totally new install, what's to loose ;) [01:02] where can i download doom 3 for linux ? [01:02] totec; use google to find it. [01:02] nickrud and bastid_raZor I have VMWARE fusion on my mac, could i use that as a virtual machine somehow then? [01:02] oobe - sorry again.... what is dpkg -i nero.deb the name of the file I should try to get [01:02] nickrud: so passwording them is a good idea? [01:03] DavidCanarias, you can also try k3b its a native free burning app for linux [01:03] holyhell, I use virtualbox to run ubuntu on my work machine (where I"m at) [01:03] do u run it within windows? [01:03] DavidCanarias, nero.deb was an example i dont know what the file should be called [01:03] holyhell; ofcourse you could. [01:03] yay [01:03] i never knew that [01:03] FAJALOU, if you plan on passwording, I'd use the bios password. If they can boot anything, all hard disk passwords are defeatable [01:04] nickrud, /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf:APT::Cache-Limit "8388608"; [01:04] so i will just use bootcamp for a windows partition and vmware fusion for my ubuntu [01:04] u think u guys can help me with that instead? :D [01:04] nickrud true true, [01:04] http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/dynamic-mmap-ran-out-of-room-error-when-adding-new-apt-source-list-233417/ , use the post just below the one mentioning 8388608 ;) (I posted this, but forgot your nick, sorry SealedWithAKiss ) [01:04] is there a way to install ubuntu to a computer that doesn't have a video card? [01:04] * tj83 wonders windows,withVM,with ubuntu all on 6 gigs? [01:04] I upgraded to FF 3 and now i cant watch any videos Can anyone help [01:05] holyhell, yes [01:05] oobe Ive tried k3b and like it. I am having a problem making an mp3 cd from audio music that's why I am trying Nero as Im giving up [01:05] tj83 noo [01:05] 6 gigs was reserved for ubuntu [01:05] I upgraded to FF 3 and now i cant watch any videos Can anyone help [01:05] roney: do you have the needed plugins for video support in firefox ? [01:05] holyhell, still 6 gigs really isnt enough in my opinion for ubuntu alone [01:05] I think so [01:05] Does anyone know what package mp4box comes with?.. i have it installed but it's corrupt and I want to reinstall. just dont know how [01:05] allright [01:05] DavidCanarias, http://www.nero.com/eng/downloads-linux3-trial.php get deb 32 if you have 32 bit installed or 64 if you have 64 from that link [01:05] hey, after i updated to -21 kernel, i ran the system updates and there was a problem during install. could this be the reason that when i try to boot into the -21 kernel i get stuck at "setting sytem clock""??? [01:06] Java right [01:06] powertoo108: Well, every computer has to have a video device of some form. Do you mean one that has no 3D card? [01:06] in software sources, it says that important security updates isn't checked, and when i check it, no check comes on it, what is wrong? and or how can i check to make sure that they are on? [01:06] tj83, its ok for testing purposes. I'd rather see someone use 6gb they have to spare than not try at all [01:06] for a virtual disc i donT need to do any partitioning, right_ [01:06] Hello, I recently migrated from Thunderbird to Evolution, and now every time I try to encrypt a message with gpg to someone else, I get an error saying that the public key doesn't exist in my keyring. Does anyone know how I can get this working? [01:06] holyhell; no, it is just a file on your computer [01:06] love it [01:06] glitsj16 ive played around with all the settings and still it won't work [01:06] give me a minute and sry about the delay i am on dialup [01:06] OOBE this is the one I downloaded and it is in my downloads file. I don't know what to do now to install it?????? Any ideas [01:07] nickrud, hmm.. i certainly agree, but re-evaluating options would be my choice move.. why do we need windows again? [01:07] roney: no Java will not do for regular video playing in firefox, look into mozilla-mplayer (which depends on mplayer) [01:07] SealedWithAKiss, did you get that last? [01:07] bobertdos: no, it doesn't have a card at all, after the install I will ssh into it [01:07] holyhell; heh, you're going to be ages trying to update ubuntu :\ [01:07] ok back to a single volume [01:07] Is there any way by which I can hide folder like $RECYCLE.BIN, RECYCLER & System Volume Information which are hidden in windows [01:07] glitsj16: thanks will look into it [01:07] OOBE sorry I downloaded rpm no deb. I'll download deb, but after that what do I do? [01:07] I can't get me partition to resize so I'm gonna just format completely and reinstall. BUT my broadcom wireless doesn't work without some tweaking. I don't remember how I got it to work the first time... how can I find out how to set it up after I reinstall because its my only way of getting on the internet atm. [01:07] i just want to get it installed and i will do updates when i am back in the city [01:07] tj83, work ;( [01:07] nickrud, yes. [01:07] i am currently in the middle of nowhere on a lake, using the phone line [01:08] kushalsejwal; put mv folder .folder a . will hide folders [01:08] SealedWithAKiss, I'm getting ready to head home, could you try that edit real quickly? [01:08] powertoo108: Oh, I see...........hmm......... [01:08] DavidCanarias, open up a console and type "sudo dpkg -i filename.deb" replace file name with the actual file name [01:08] could someone help me get my built-in microphone to work on my acer laptop? [01:08] bastid_raZor: I didnt understand can you kindly elaborate [01:08] tj83, although, I still do 90% of my work in ubuntu in vbox anyway. Just access is left [01:08] is it possible to install the -21 kernel again, from scratch?? [01:09] DavidCanarias: So, there's no deb? [01:09] kushalsejwal; in terminal type mv folder .folder by putting a . in front of a folder it will hide it. [01:09] so first question, should i use UBUNTU 64bit or just ubuntu? [01:09] OOBE Thanks a million...... I will try [01:09] if I pur a dot "." at the folder name it might cause cause problem in windows as these folders are system folders isnt it?? [01:09] maybe could resize windows a bit to squeeze for ubuntu? [01:09] holyhell, what kind of computer ya got? [01:09] holyhell, just ubuntu, it's good enough [01:09] its a new macbook os x [01:09] it can handle it though i think :D [01:09] bobertdos . It seems I downloaded the wrong file so Im now downloading a deb file. Thanks for your help Fingers crossed [01:10] holyhell; 32bit is less of a hassle to get everything running correctly [01:10] is it not worth it @ Nickrud? [01:10] kool [01:10] normal ubuntu then [01:10] holyhell, I've run both, and actually saw no diff [01:10] thats your best bet [01:10] holyhell, in performance, bastid_raZor is right about easier to run [01:10] ok [01:10] its done, normal ubuntu [01:10] kushalsejwal; oh, you're on a windows partition.. i can't help you any farther then.. sorry [01:11] okay i got about 50 gigs free space, but since i am just sort of giving ubuntu a chance, how much disc space should i give it? 8 then? [01:11] are you dual booting or going for full install? [01:11] SealedWithAKiss, gotta leave in a minute or two. If I don't hear from you, I'll be back on line in about an hour or so. [01:11] can anynoe see me? [01:11] nickrud, i'm trying. [01:11] Glitsj16: Hey thanks it works great now [01:11] i am doing virtual machine [01:11] wow.. i dont like xchat at all [01:11] holyhell; 8 and do not preallocate that way if need be it will increase as needed [01:12] awesome [01:12] nickrud, sure. [01:12] man i am too oldschool for this virtual machine thing [01:12] lol [01:12] roney: very welcome [01:12] just go full install :) [01:12] OOBE and BOBERTDOS - Eureka ... I downloaded the deb file and it automatically installed. Geniuses both. Wonderful. I hope I won't have anymore problems nowtrying to make an mp3 CD from audio music in my computer. Can you both do this with K3b as I couldn't [01:12] i just read in the economist how genious vmware fusion is, that makes things so much easier, hehe [01:12] bastid_raZor: you didnt got me, I am having a dual boot [01:12] is there a gnome IRC client more like konversation? [01:12] nickrud, apt.conf is blank. [01:12] SealedWithAKiss, what's the problem? gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/70debconf , change the number, then sudo apt-get update && sudo synaptic [01:12] would a computer running 512mb of ram run crappier if i had 64 bit ubuntu installed instead of 32 bit [01:12] gaim is nice [01:12] or pidgin [01:12] Hi, I need some advice, Im going moving my uncle local network from windows to ubuntu, now Im wondering about what the normal/recommended network protocol so they can share files betewn computer, protocol name would be enough thank you [01:13] Hi [01:13] kushalsejwal; i understand but hiding files on a windows partition from ubuntu is out of league. i don't know the consequences . [01:13] Note: Pigion ownes gaim now [01:13] SealedWithAKiss, sorry I didn't give that line earlier, typing and packing up the desk leads to brain farts [01:13] bah.. screw that.. i can admit KDE does have some software better than gnomes [01:13] bastid_raZor: okay then I should better keep them untouched [01:13] does anyone else get an error when trying MP4Box [01:13] bastid_raZor: thanks anyways :) [01:13] Does anybody know if crossover works with x64?

[01:15] I'll have to install 32bit then :( [01:15] wait KyleB171 i asked a question, didnT give an answer, lol [01:16] holyhell; guest means you told it to install a 64bit OS. redo the set up and tell it 32bit linux/ubuntu [01:16] bastid_raZor: well i have a 32 bit on my eeepc...it runs without lag...(800mhz) and my friend has a 1.8ghz with same ram...but his runs like crap [01:16] thank you guys, but thanks god this time no windows computer, so my question is just linux boxes, thanks [01:16] !nfs [01:16] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [01:17] sweeeeeet! [01:17] Yud_Zroc; maybe the 1.8ghz box is trying to run compiz .. unsure the difference. that little amount of ram is the only hold up. [01:17] bastid_raZor: it was....it also has a ati m200 so thats the case thenm [01:18] Guys pls help me out, I was experiencing pixelated videos on every player totem VLC etc. So I searched ubuntu forums and added few lines to xorg.conf [01:19] how can i find out my broadcom chipset verison [01:19] now videos are very flawless but the moment I enable compiz, the videos starts fickering [01:19] bastid_raZor !request query. i told it normal ubuntu, i specifically didnT put 64, i just pressed okay and its doing its thing anyway [01:19] guys pls help I dont want to loose compiz [01:19] Yud_Zroc; i tend to be above the norm on how much my computer actually works.. i hover at about 400MB of ram usage at idle speed. i can't imagine having only 512M [01:20] holyhell; meaning it is installing?

[02:33] alo [02:33] jmarsden, i want to use keys in stead of password [02:33] the original sources need the path or not [02:33] Hey guys, I'm trying to install Cairo-Dock.. I downloaded the latest .deb from the website and it's a gui install, but it says that dependency is not satisfiable: cairo-dock.

[02:35] unclemike: just one icon or the whole icon theme set? [02:35] Joki, sometimes sites like www.speedtestnet.net cache's the file. so when you refresh then it basically gives your the speed read from the hdd.. not the site. so its giving you an inaccurate display. [02:35] Joki: nah something else is going on. [02:36] tovella, i just saw i also have the openjdk 6 installed, is it relevant? [02:36] tj83, I download from newsgroups. Giganews.com [02:36] tech0007, just the icon for the gnome menu on the panel [02:36] Joki: you receive higher speeds in windows over ubuntu on the same hardware? [02:36] olivia: it could be. [02:36] my download is 2400kbs [02:36] yes, Histo. [02:36] On windows speed is a little higher than on Ubuntu [02:36] tech0007: Thanks! [02:36] My download was 2400 now its 500 [02:37] unclemike: is it the small ubuntu icon near Applications? [02:37] Can i add a debian item to my "source.list"?

[02:37] tech0007, yes [02:37] arooni: install fluxbuntu-desktop [02:37] Joki: Maybe a problem with the app you are using. [02:37] Abed: Keep reading, see the section "Tip: Generating Public Keys" :-) [02:37] uhh, my panels stopped working. [02:37] its a big difference. from 2400 KB's to 500 KB's [02:37] Joki: Or perhaps you have a firewall or something with qos for the packets [02:37] hey guys [02:38] the panels are still there, they are visually ok, but when i click on them nothing happens :( [02:38] jmarsden ok [02:38] I had a question, does anyone here use Elisa? [02:38] I'm having a problem with it [02:38] Joki: someone else may be able to help you mbetter than me. [02:38] Thanks for trying Histo. [02:39] I am going to uninstall my network adapters and reinstall them with fresh drivers [02:39] Everything works fine in Elisa, except when I try to get into the settings it just sits there. The little cog icon from within the program, I click it 9000 times and it does nothing [02:39] Joki, i 2nd histo.. but it could be many thing.s [02:39] maybe that will clean everything up [02:39] I'm trying to figure out whats wrong [02:39] Joki, check how the cables are laying in relation to other cables physically [02:39] ok [02:39] tovella, should i uninstall one of the two? i think i had one of the two installed while trying to solve other sound problems, one of them was trying to make skype work, what i think may be a related problem. i didn't have any sucess with skype yet either. [02:39] unclemike: replace the start-here.png icon in /usr/share/icons/gnome/32x32/places/ [02:39] tj 83, thanks [02:39] ethernet cables should never run parallel to power wires. [02:39] that could be, tj83 [02:39] Joki: are you on broadband ? if so, there's some setitngs in /etc/sysctl.conf you could check as well [02:40] olivia: no, i would leave them both in place, for now. [02:40] unclemike: the 32x32 depends on the pixel size of your panel [02:40] hi I forgot root password can i know how to reset it [02:40] tovella, ok [02:40] tech0007: Following the Ubuntu guide for Cairo-Dock, sudo-apt get update fails to download files from the cairo respository.. did you get that problem initially? [02:40] Joki: there are a lot of things but I would try a different news app in ubuntu and see if you get different speeds. [02:40] is there a way to prevent the mouse cursor from moving between displays without some key combination or something? it's really annoying when i accidentally lose it [02:40] Joki: if not then I would start suspecting drivers or something.

You would most likely have to stop using the kernel drivers and use updated versions or someting. [02:41] how do I enable internet connect sharing in hardy [02:41] tech0007: got it [02:41] anybody [02:41] Soopa: dirght "click addto panel" [02:41] !patience > bobrock: [02:41] bobrock:, please see my private message [02:42] how do i stop using kernel drivers?

[02:44] jmarsden: Thank you [02:44] jc6: there is no root password you want to reset [02:44] Joki: most likely its the app you are using [02:44] is there a way to prevent the mouse cursor from moving between displays without some key combination or something? it's really annoying when i accidentally lose it [02:44] jmarsden explain this plz ssh-keygen -q -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa -t rsa [02:44] Joki: try using another one or another means of testing your speeds.

[02:46] Abed: being lazy sucks more [02:46] wols_: No, there are indeed such PCs. I run some of them... [02:46] aw, never mind, i missed the fact that i would need to get a verizon subscription...damn.....that is why it was so affordable XD they get you with the verizon cost [02:46] jmarsden: then you don't run ubuntu. and what you do with your own ubuntu is no one's business but what you tell others here is [02:47] san_: I don't want to edit the menus, though...

[02:59] Abed: You need to create that authorized-keys file to include the keys you decide are authorized :-) [02:59] unop: if there are no things in flux..

[02:59] tj83 leave it no problema i give up [03:00] eraldo, you ought to keep gnome then as fluxbox isn't really a comprehensive desktop environment [03:00] dolphin_noel, pm? [03:00] or something else [03:00] cuz we will help you, and you love linux [03:00]  jmarsden, yeah but how do i generate the private? [03:00] which wireless chipsets (laptop) are best supported by linux/ubuntu? [03:00] eraldo, just install fluxbox and change your default window manager then [03:00]  jmarsden or is it the same as public [03:00] crdlb: because when it runs on both my monitor and my tv, my monitor has a very slow response for some reason. if i run it only on my monitor, and i leave tv effect-less (i use it for movies anyway) it runs fine [03:00] anyone using twiki?

[03:01] dolphin_noel: You've been asked to clarify your problem a few times and haven't responeded. Please take your complaints elsewhere [03:01] crdlb: it would be the best if i could run compiz automatically when my system starts, only on this screen... is there a way? [03:01] unop: could you explain to me why it is not as comprehensive by naming one example please ? [03:02] unop: my home dir is full 100 % trying to make space, like moving openoffice to another area with more room. Is it possible? [03:02] Joki: yeah that got rid of ipv6 [03:02] Abed: There should be both id_rsa (the secret key) and id_rsa.pub (the public one) [03:02] eraldo, fluxbox takes a minimalist approach to things .. it's better suited for a power-user/someome who knows how to configure the system without the need for GUI tools [03:02] unop: this is on a laptop so there is only 1 hd [03:02] !ipv6 > Joki [03:02] Joki, please see my private message [03:03]  jmarsden id_rsa id_rsa.pub known_hosts [03:03] I am currently having issues getting my Gateway C-140x Tablet PC stylus working on Ubuntu 8.04.

[03:27] Unop how can I do that? [03:27] IndyGunfreak: You figure Alpha 3 will be good enough for day to day? [03:27] izanbardprince: highly unlikely [03:27] I mean considering Hardy's kernel breaks my stuff anyhow === I_Am is now known as ionstorm66 [03:27] andrew232123, to get for examples mp3s to play out my rear speakers. I have to tweak with the sound mixers some and clone the front to the back. (using an AUdigy 2zs card here) [03:27] what are the general guidelines for alphas and betas? [03:28] is it just anywhere they happen to be at that point? [03:28] BrandonS, use the gnome-system-monitor and look under processes or at a terminal. ps -u $USER | grep firefox [03:28] or is there some QA level? === orgthingy is now known as orgthingyTV [03:28] i have nvidia high definition audio card, laptop [03:29] izanbardprince: Alpha => You risk your neck. Beta => You risk maybe just your right arm. Release Candidate => You risk your little finger :-) === kat is now known as Guest14555 [03:29] izanbardprince: Alphas are alphas. Betas are betas. Alphas are not fit for general consumption. Betas are better. [03:29] anyone know how to gain full access to everything? [03:29] izanbardprince, ask about this in #ubuntu-devel [03:29] !sudo | drut [03:29] drut: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [03:29] how do you get back to your user account after invoking sudo -i?

[03:31] hello [03:31] Ricardo_0617, not really [03:32] drut, what are you trying to do? [03:32] Ricardo_0617, os-x is sort of based on 'bsd' ibelive. not linux. [03:32] safari is based in konqueror [03:32] right? === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [03:32] How do I enable 256MB of graphics RAM for my gma x3100 in Ubuntu?

I'm using: Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_06-b02 is there a better alternative? [03:33] drut, why do that .. your browser already uses it's cache and /tmp for that [03:33] Thanks, wols_ [03:33] I am trying to play a game and it says it can'tle find the temp internet fi [03:34] I'm setting up my kernel and I have a Ati 690g motherboard what should I select for ATI sata support? [03:34] does anyone know how to adjust the tracker so it doesn't take up alot of room on my hd? [03:34] Ok, cheese turns on the webcam, when I try to modprobe /dev/video0 it says FATAL: Module /dev/video0 not found. Anyway to manually turn on this webcam on this laptop to so it works like in cheese? [03:35] drut, hmm, what game is this? [03:35] its called runescape, ill tell you exactly what it says [03:35] runescape = ;_; [03:35] It says "Runescape was unable to find a suitable place to store its temporary files." [03:36] So I run Ubuntu only--I'm trying to dual boot with xp, after setting a partition for the install, I put the xp disc in and started the computer. I get this error: "Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed on your computer" [03:37] Anyone one want to here what really stupid thing I did? [03:37] Matthew, it probably doesn't recognize the drive cause it's formatted for ubuntu [03:37] * prince_jammys guesses permissions [03:37] Matthew, you probably need to use gparted off the livecd and create an NTFS partition or a blank one [03:37] drut: Run runescape as an unsigned applet [03:38] IcedTea hates the signed applet [03:38] raichlea, I used the livecd partion editor and set aside 5.5 gigs [03:38] I did [03:38] unop: i did [03:38] sorry for the part [03:38] Matthew, just be careful because I *think* that the XP bootloader will take over. Usually you have to install Windows first [03:38] Matthew, what did you format it as? [03:38] !grub | Matthew [03:38] Matthew: 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 [03:38] raichlea: Just reinstall GRUB [03:38] :P [03:38] Matthew: you'll need to use the first link there to reinstall GRUB after windows eats it. [03:38] it's not all that hard [03:39] SuperGRUB disk works well [03:39] izanbardprince, it's Matthew that needs the help. I was just pointing out what would happen [03:39] raichlea, and flannel, I have a list of instructions on how to fix the boot loader. [03:39] anyone here have step by step directions for using a nvidia 9600 GT card with current distro if Ubuntu ? [03:39] Windows clobbers GRUB or LILO [03:39] always has [03:39] probably always will [03:39] Flannel and Raichlea, my only problem is that setup "can't find any hdd installed on my computer" [03:40] Matthew, what did you format that 5.5 partition as? [03:40] Hello, looking for some more advice with load ubuntu. I have tried new dvd/cd-rom(3), different memory, diff scsi card, new video card, just went IDE, disabled everything in CMOS. still can not get ubuntu to load === DBLobster is now known as U09526 [03:40] is there any way to load coretemp module when using lm_sensors usin 2.6.24.20 kernel i have read that it won't work cause of an outdated modeule any ideas? [03:40] I have loaded windows XP on both IDE and scsi drives just for testing, and it loaded without issue, I am just lost [03:40] I have an HFS+ partition I am sharing between mac osx and my ubuntu partition i made a user with the same UID as my mac user account and i was able to share data between os's How can I mount a drive as a specific UID [03:41] I have tried 8.04.1, 710, 606, all give a kernel fault right have hitting the install option. [03:41] drut, seems like you have to create a directory named /rscache (which is poor design), anyway try this command. sudo mkdir /rscache; sudo chown $USER.$USER /rscache [03:41] piranah: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [03:41] raichlea...i think it's currently "unknown" or sda1, I think it's unknown (or unused) though [03:41] unop, thanks, ill tell you what happens [03:41] Matthew: What kind of hard drive? EIDE, SATA? Does it use RAID? [03:41] try formatting it to FAT32 or NTFS and see if that helps. [03:42] RAID controllers can be very troublesome [03:42] izanbardprince...I think it's sata, how can i find out for sure [03:42] setting it to not use RAID usually fixes that [03:42] Matthew, XP setup will not see SATA natively [03:42] drut, actually, have a read here. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+question/39307 [03:42] XP will see SATA [03:42] but it has no RAID drivers [03:42] only if Sp1 is loaded [03:42] izanbardprince, not usually [03:42] raichlea, OK thank you i will keep that in mind...how can I tell what kind of harddrive I have. [03:42] er sp2 [03:42] so disable RAID, install XP [03:42] Hey guys, I'm setting up Evolution mail to get mail from work on an IMAP server, but it's unbelievably slow.. is there a better email client to use? [03:42] then get your driver and enable RAID [03:43] Matthew: your XP install problems are ot here [03:43] !ot | Matthew [03:43] Matthew: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [03:43] or you can slipstream the driver using nlite which is easier [03:43] izanbardprince, Matthew, generally to install XP on a SATA drive you need to load the drivers via floppy drive or slipstream using nlite. [03:43] nvidia 9600 GT + current distro of Ubuntu any tips guides or good links ? [03:44] that's all nice but the wrong channel [03:44] is there a way to change the UID of a user without any issues [03:44] shane: why? [03:44] hhp2k: I'm not sure the client would actually be your problem. Nonetheless, I'll recommend Mozilla-Thunderbird. It's available in the repos. [03:44] Nlite is awesome [03:44] if I just want to fresh install xp, then resize and fresh install ubuntu. what would you suggest? wipe the whole drive? [03:44] piranah: just install the nvidia drivers [03:44] slipstream everything and never worry about it again [03:44] :P [03:44] including your serial number [03:44] wols_: my 9600 is workig out of the box [03:44] IndyGunFreak: i found @linuxmail.org free [03:44] exit [03:45] neon: with nv drives [03:45] *drivers [03:45] Matthew, you are going to run into the exact same problem. might as well leave your ubuntu partition as is and just slipstream. I know it's OT but I will see if I can find the link for you on how to do it. I just did it recently [03:45] piranah: my is 9600 is working out of the box, wols sorry clcik on the wrong nick [03:45] can someone help me with cpu frequency monitor problem? [03:45] bobertdos: If it's not the email client, then it's my server.. seems to behave that way no matter what client it's on. Sigh. [03:45] wols_: driver from nvidia complains about kernal version. Loaded driver from package manager and it does not seem to enable. Checked admin hardware drivers and says no proprietary drivers in use [03:45] raichlea, ok thank you, since I don't really know what nlite or slipstream do or mean [03:45] hello [03:46] piranah: Did you look over the wiki entry? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [03:46] neon: clean install seems to be using a generic VGA driver, I cant enable any of the effects or change resolution above 1280x1024 [03:46] Justinlol: May we help you? [03:46] no [03:46] to save trouble: can anyone suggest a good mp3 player that works easily in Hardy? [03:47] <__yy> I have a fairly large text file and a list of line numbers which I would like to extract. Is there a utility I can use to do this in one pass over the file? [03:47] Matthew, http://icrontic.com/articles/slipstreaming_windows_easy [03:47] i have a problem i have an atheros wireless card after install it says that it is using the atheros driver but it wont load i can only see (ETHO and LO) how do i get it working [03:48] \ [03:48] Matthew: Amarok and Banshee are the heavy hitters when it comes to music. [03:48] thanks, raichlea, bobertdos: I mean hardware (ipod, zune etc.) === keta is now known as decay [03:48] i have a problem i have an atheros wireless card after install it says that it is using the atheros driver but it wont load i can only see (ETHO and LO) how do i get it working [03:49] does any 1 here play game on computer? [03:49] once in a while, but nothing that stresses my system. [03:49] what do u play? [03:49] whats the difference between range and xrange [03:49] Matthew: Gtk-Pod has improved over the years. Banshee and Amarok work with some iPods and other players too. You'll probably want to do some research if you're planning a purchase. [03:49] Alpha Centaur, UT2004 [03:49] Justinlol: do you have a ubuntu related question? [03:50] Wormux [03:50] I'm going to ask my question again, can anyone recommend a good java plugin for playing games on, pogo and yahoo? I was using Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_06-b02 and it wouldn't launch at all, I just switched to: GCJ Web Browser Plugin (using IcedTea) and now I get to the game room but it crashes if I try to load a game. [03:50] decay: Is this about Python? If so, you're somewhat off-topic. [03:50] later dudes [03:50] !ot | Justinlol [03:50] i just ran todays 26 updates, the computer said it needed a reboot (why) now it hangs at the 'Starting Up ... " screen. what happened, and how do i fix it ? [03:50] Justinlol: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [03:50] bobertdos: yea, hehe. wrong channel [03:50] Evilsboytoy: new kernel most likely [03:51] Yes, I'm looking to get a new media player. I only have Hardy at the moment (no Windows). I would like to know which device (ipod, zune, sansa etc.) works best with Ubuntu [03:51] wols_ - great, now i have to reinstall the software cause it's not booting now [03:51] But, does anyone know why Terminal won't stay as a launcher in awn? [03:51] Matthew, I've head the ipod + amarok work [03:51] Evilsboytoy: you have a livecd. use it [03:51] wols_ to do what ? [03:51] why does VLC not play audio in videos that MPlayer can play just fine? If I could figure out how to load DVDs with MPlayer, I wouldn't mind. [03:51] raichlea, thank you...I'd like to avoid the ipod though. [03:52] Matthew, well I would certainly recommend against the zune... the rest are just simply over glorified usb sticks and should work just fine [03:52] Hey everyone, I just installed Ubuntu on my desktop and I have a SoundBlaster 5.1 Surround sound card, with 5.1 surround hooked up to it. When the speakers are on, they make a shitload of white noise, when they should be silent. Anyone know why this is happening? [03:52] Chaotic_Descent: did you try experimenting with the different audio output settings in VLC yet to dtermine if you can get audio going ? [03:53] raichlea, ha okay thank you. [03:53] hi, i have a question on my machine, i have a maxtor 80G pata harddisk, but why it is used as sda(scsi device) on my computer. [03:53] raichlea: Is it possible you just didn't have the Sun plugin properly linked before? I've helped a number of people with this. Maybe I could help you with that. [03:53] michael__: all hdds are nod sda and using the scsi layer [03:53] bobertdos, it's possible... what I can use to test? [03:53] srsly, what do i do to get my ubuntu hardy to boot now that todays updates crashed it ?? [03:53] raichlea: about:plugins [03:53] glitsj16: I'm not familiar with VLC. where are these audio output settings? I don't see any under audio's advanced settings... steam output? no... [03:54] but times ago, i use it as hda, this is the new driver? [03:54] well I see GCJ Web Browser Plugin (using IcedTea) there now. what info do you need? [03:54] michael__: yes it's a new driver [03:54] michael__: sda doesn't mean SATA, it means "storage device A" [03:54] raichlea: wrong plugin. [03:54] glitsj16: oh. the arrow expands subsections. I remember seeing that before. [03:54] don't use it it will crash yo system [03:54] fucking ubuntu [03:54] cpu frequency problem, can someone help? [03:54] Chaotic_Descent: yes, try changing the output modules in there [03:54] wols_, prior to this I had the standard java one there and it didn't work [03:55] and an other question, i test it in windows, result at 17mb/s, but i use hdparm in linux, it show me 57ms/s [03:55] !ohmy > Evilsboytoy [03:55] Evilsboytoy, please see my private message [03:55] wols, bobertdos, which would you recommend? [03:55] how do u create ne room? [03:55] that is the same as my matox 250G sata harddisk. [03:55] raichlea: Sun, as long as it's properly linked :) [03:55] unop, thanks for the link, I read it and fixed the problem [03:56] Hello i don't mean to bother, but could someone suggest a channel that a very new user could ask a question as to why his sound wouldn't work? [03:56] arg. VLC freezes every time I try to stop it playing... so every time I test it it takes half a minute for it to respond. [03:56] bobertdos, ok, I will remove iced tea now and teset [03:56] Hey, i'm having some problems with installing Ubuntu, I'm on the Live CD right now, was wondering if someone could pm me n help me out a bit? [03:56] how do u make a new room? [03:56] raichlea: Are you using the built-in Firefox 3 or Mozilla's version? [03:56] anyone using the new banshee 1.0 ? [03:56] Justinlol, you mean /join #myOwnpersonalroom [03:56] any way to guess which audio output setting is likely to work? [03:56] yes ty [03:56] meatrun: what distro are u using and what is ur sound card? [03:57] I'm not sure... I *think* it was installed with Ubuntu [03:57] wols: do you know why i get the same result of my maxtor 80G pata harddsik and my maxtor 250 sata harddisk. [03:57] dr_Willis yes thank you [03:57] banshee only allowing me to add 1 podcast, anyone heard of this issue? [03:57] bobertdos, I did a clean install [03:57] Chaotic_Descent: what is it set to right now (that's not working) ? [03:57] Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061015 Firefox/3.0 [03:57] /join #myOwnpersonalroom [03:57] right [03:57] glitsj16: default. [03:57] wols: they are both 57mb/s [03:57] i have a problem i have an atheros wireless card after install it says that it is using the atheros driver but it wont load i can only see (ETHO and LO) how do i get it working [03:57] Justinlol, you may want to read up on irc basics. :) technically they care called Channels. and they get auto created at join, if non-existant. Unless the server has the channels registered. then Its a littel differently [03:58] Caotic_Descent: try ALSA and refresh the list of devices [03:58] I have just used Partion editor to make all the partitions I want before installing Ubuntu, but when I try to install it from the LiveCD and go manual, i'm wondering how to pick the one I want to be the root drive [03:58] wols: and i test it in windows, the 80G disk just have a 17mb/s speed. [03:58] I'm not sure of what distro mean :-$ but here is the info about the card i have 03:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB X-Fi [03:58] Subsystem: Creative Labs X-Fi XtremeMusic [03:58] Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11 [03:58] I/O ports at bce0 [size=32] [03:58] Memory at dac00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2M] [03:58] meatrun: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:58] raichlea: oh okay..........So you installed sun-java6-plugin, initially? [03:58] Memory at d4000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64M] [03:58] Capabilities: [03:58] wols: the 250G sata disk have 68mb/s [03:58] bobertdos, yes, initially and then removed it. I just reinstalled it now [03:59] sorry [03:59] It's strange. VLC was working fine before. maybe it's because I reinstalled the restricted driver package or whatever it was that allowed me to play DVDs and MP3s and such. [03:59] Chaotic_Descent: typo in your nick sorry, try ALSA and refresh the list of devices to see if you can spot your sound card [03:59] anyone here know what is this command (hdparm -tT) really meant? [03:59] glitsj16: yeah. tried ALSA with both the options in the refreshed list that it gave me. no luck. [03:59] Justinlol, seriously man. read up on the irc client fetures, dont just start trying them out on people. :) some people find the dcc chat stuff rude. :P [03:59] @michael that command tests the performance for the HD. see the man entry for more. [03:59] raichlea: So, if you type about:plugins into Firefox, is Java listed? [04:00] bobertdos, now I have Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_06-b02 [04:00] File name: libjavaplugin_oji.so [04:00] Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_06 installed and showing in about:plugins. It was there before and didn't work, but let me test again [04:00] oh [04:00] sorry [04:00] ok [04:00] crashsystems: i have a question about that. seemly, it cant give me a true result. [04:00] Chaotic_Descent: what exactly did you install sound related ? any ideas ? [04:00] @michael__ what do you mean? [04:01] I need some serious assistance. I am having a lot of conflictions with my video card. I had everything running fine until I started trying to get dual displays to work in ubuntu. Now it thinks it's running dual so I can only see half of the screen and yet my 2nd display doesn't isn't showing shit. [04:01] what program can i download to burn an iso image to a dvd [04:01] i have a problem i have an atheros wireless card after install it says that it is using the atheros driver but it wont load i can only see (ETHO and LO) how do i get it working [04:01] bobertdos, trying to run it now and it's just greying out and freezing up like it used to.. [04:01] smit, you mean under linux/ubuntu? there should be some allready installed.. [04:01] glitsj16: uh... some music players. and reinstalled some restricted package... arg. you want the name? [04:01] crashsystems: as i said. i have two disk. one maxtor 80G pata, i buy it at 2004, other 250 sata, i buy it 2007. [04:01] dr_willis: how do i access [04:02] smit: it's built in to gnome, just right click the .iso and burn to disk... [04:02] meatrun: u might want to check out the beta driver http://opensource.creative.com/soundcard.html [04:02] crashsystems: i use the command to test both. but it showed me almost same result. [04:02] raichlea: If you go into about:config and set plugin.expose_fullpath to true, what path is java listed as in about:plugins? [04:02] @michael__ that is strange [04:02] glitsj16: ubuntu-restricted-extras I think it the one I reinstalled. but VLC was working when it was installed. I'm pretty sure it's just since I REinstalled it (after I had some other problem) [04:02] Chaotic_Descent: i use pulseaudio and after installing vlc-plugin-pulse i get nice audio with the default settings in VLC .. are you runningpulseaudio ? [04:03] crashsystems: yes, it showed me both 57mb/s [04:03] thank you Michael_m i will try it out [04:03] @michael__ does that vary any from one test to another?

[04:04] Chaotic_Descent: thanks, that might have changed your default sound server settings, not to familiar with that package to be sure though sorry [04:04] cpu frequency problem can someone help? [04:04] java-6-openjdk 1061 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk [04:04] java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun [04:04] crashsystems: yes, a little. the 250 sata one. result in 56mb/s. the 80 pata old one, result in 57mb/s. a little quick?? [04:05] howdy [04:05] why cant i view my external hdd? [04:05] @michael__ I'd think so. However, if the old one is a little faster than expected, I'd certainly not complain. [04:05] crashsystems: but if i test both in windows. the 250 one. result in 58mb/s. the 80 pata, result in 17mb/s [04:05] @michael__ I'm stuck with IDE on my desktop box :( [04:06] Does Ubuntu have network traffic monitor(packet sniffer) installed by default [04:06] sure does [04:06] @michael__ what file system are you using in linux? [04:06] why cant i view my external hdd? [04:06] crashsystems: ext3 [04:06] look in repositpry for things like that [04:06] What is the name of this monitor?

[04:11] @michael__ perhaps there is an obscure bug in it that causes this problem with that particular drive. Have you checked launchpad for open bugs? [04:11] shane_, no idea [04:11] add/remove with linux is easy, just uncheck it. to reinstall check it [04:11] how do you run .exe's on linux? [04:12] drut, you use wine [04:12] crashsystems: one month ago i use the hdparm command to chang some parmeter on my 250 hardisk. and finally i broken it. [04:12] shane_, not that i have ever seen.. thisis a ext2/3 filesystem right? [04:12] use wine [04:12] has anyone copy repository to HDD?

[04:14] make sure the checkbox is checked to enable to atheros card [04:14] Chaotic_Descent: if you start vlc from terminal, do you get any errors or anything usefull to try and debug the situation ? [04:14] crashsystems: so now i have to buy another one. and i use my old 80g disk. and when i get the result in 57mb/s of it. why i buy another one? serious problem. [04:14] my external drive, which is plugged in via usb, does not show up at all in ubuntu, still [04:14] in network you will see the little checkbox, make sure it is checked and you set you ssid and other info [04:14] glitsj16: how do I start VLC from terminal? I know the terminal. [04:14] crashsystems: so where are you from? [04:14] raichlea: Yeah, you just have to create a symbolic link in the appropriate plugins directory. I don't know where that is in Opera, but if you can find it, that's what you would do. Maybe Pango would work with a newer version of the JRE, downloaded directly from Sun........ [04:14] Chaotic_Descent, thje command is 'vlc' :) [04:14] Chaotic_Descent: just run "vlc" [04:14] crashsystems: china town?

[04:15] ooops. thanks dr_Willis. -_-; [04:15] doesnt mean i installed everything, just downloaded it [04:15] Is Wireshark installed by default [04:16] Chaotic_Descent: start went ok, try and play something and see if it throws anything [04:16] How do I uninstall my nvidia drivers and reset my xorg.conf back to default? I have what appears to be an irreversible conflict. [04:16] HELP ME! [04:16] opera wants me to give it the path to the plugin but doesn't seem to like it [04:16] crashsystems: yes, a cool country. so will you come to beijing for the world's sport game. [04:16] my external drive, which is plugged in via usb, does not show up at all in ubuntu, still [04:16] Guest3043, no you have to install it [04:16] Hello!

[04:17] my external drive, which is plugged in via usb, does not show up at all in ubuntu, still [04:17] smit, no need to repeat twice or thrice [04:17] does your USB port show ? [04:17] smit, you could always try mounting it manually - assuming its ntfs filesystem with a command like ---> sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/Windows_MAKE_this_directoryfirst -o force [04:17] [04:17] Guest3043, apt-get would not let you do that :) [04:17] crashsystems: thank you for your help, i will check buglist of hdparm, and it's lunch time now, goodbye, thank you very much. [04:17] i mount manual, with mount manager [04:17] Chaotic_Descent: that looks like you're VLC settings point to use OSS if i'm not mistaking .. could you recheck those ? [04:17] michael__, no it is not one sec and i will tell you what it is [04:17] glitsj16: yup. it was. I'll try another one. [04:17] smit, are you using GNOME?

[04:33] for working with modules [04:33] the_real_fourthd, I have no such file [04:33] freonchill, ive heard its in the 'prposed' repos.. and after tested a bit it may move to the other repos. [04:33] locate modprobe.conf | wc => 0 0 0 [04:33] freon, they may have removed it, being it had too many bugs to be a release [04:33] that's odd. I guess they're dynamic.

[04:38] So does anyone know any good guides for setting up Ubuntu with Speakers and a headset? [04:38] does the livecd contain the gnome dvd burner?

I'll get working on seeing what I can do and be back if i can't. [04:42] it may be that it is runing at 1.8ghz, just showing 800mhz, asd i have seen before [04:43] gnychis, you can install the 'stand alone' vnc4server, or other vncserver packages, and ssh in and run them,. or set them up to run from rc.local if you wanted. No need to have a 'local' desktop (or x even) running at all. [04:43] michael_m: do you have powernowd installed ? [04:43] gnychis: just make it accept connections automatically, and protect this with password [04:43] gnychis, people sitting at the lcoal machine cant watch what you are doing either. :) [04:43] neon: i dont know, never heard of it [04:43] Chaotic_Descent: remove what you have as flashplugin-nonfree in synaptic first and double-click this .deb file after doing that, that should give firefox the beta 10 flash plugin .. http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/i386/flashplugin-nonfree/download [04:43] isnt that in Services section ?

[04:44] harpreet, ok, i'm going to check [04:45] michael_m: apt-get remove powernowd [04:45] michael i have it on a 3ghz and it reads 800mhz too, the system runs fine, and i see no drop in perfromace, the OS is incorrectly reading CPU speed [04:45] manualoverdozer: ok ill keep that in mind, ill remove powernowd and if no performance gain ill reinstall it [04:45] can anyone help me with changing pidgins background color ? im having trouble seeing my friends text [04:45] michael_m: no [04:46] ManualOverDozer: no [04:46] guys, where is the www-data user?

[04:53] Rampou: you are welcome [04:53] I need to manually guide my hdd because the install will not do it [04:54] what's the difference between ubuntu server and desktop aside from the LTS term [04:54] so does anyone have a screenlet or desklet that will draw icons on the desktop yet? [04:54] rexus: Both are LTS. Desktop has the GUI preinstalled, server doesn't. [04:54] rexus server is text based [04:55] rexux, server can be only terminal based while desktop can't [04:55] harpreet: No, they both can be. [04:55] where can i download intrepid beta? [04:55] harpreet hit ctrl alt f1 once [04:55] jetsaredim: #ubuntu+1 for intrepid questions. Also, Intrepid is ALPHA not beta. [04:55] harpreet, I get 2 links so one of both is posted, and the other is in download, how can i install us manually? [04:55] so for home user ubuntu desktop then... [04:55] rexus: Yes [04:55] same like fedora right? [04:56] I get the GUI and all the fancy other things right? [04:56] harpreet, install them not us lol [04:56] rexus: Yes [04:56] harpreet, i have made my first lapsus in english ^^ [04:56] Flannel: forgot about that channel - thx [04:57] alpha, beta, gamma, its all the same [04:57] greek [04:57] so does anyone have a screenlet or desklet that will draw icons on the desktop yet? [04:57] hi, where should I put a bootup script in ubuntu ? in suse I would put things in /etc/init.d/boot.local [04:58] doje, in /etc/rc.local [04:58] Rampou: try first go to software sources and update it .... [04:58] Rampou: then open a terminal and try installing the thing..let me know how it goes.. [04:58] unavailable: any special needs to get a screenlet to put an icon on your desktop ? [04:58] yep [04:58] no icons [04:59] long story short compiz and nautilus dont like each other [04:59] Does anyone have a manual partition walk through? Or wanna walk me through it? [04:59] harpreet, ok, no problem [04:59] so i need a screenlet or desklet to draw icons on my desktop [04:59] Rampou: go for sudo apt-get update first [04:59] Mechdave: I saw that file - I was confused by the start/stop bit - does that get run on shutdown as well ? [05:00] In hardy, how can i downgrade the japanese fonts to what they looked like in gutsy gibbon and earlier? [05:00] FenixNR: Just fire up a liveCD with gparted and partition it how you'd like [05:00] unavailable: okay, weird though, but then again i never use nautilus .. screenlets or gdesklets may have what you want [05:00] fenixnr http://www.howtoforge.com/partitioning_with_gparted [05:00] Flannel, I have tried, but after I make one partition it quits letting me make anymore [05:00] Rampou: then type sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [05:00] glitsj16 well so far i havent been able to find any, thats why im asking [05:00] FenixNR: you already have some parititions on the disk, and you're adding to them? [05:01] I have free space that I deleted off, just for ubuntu [05:01] Rampou: then at the bottom of the list add both two lines and save it and exit ...try installing afterwards.. got it? [05:01] unavailabe: those are actual package names, screenlets look rather nice, and you can put them on the compiz 'widget layer' [05:01] glitsj16: and the problem is when you enable different backgrounds for cube desktop, you have to disable nautilus draw desktop, which kills your icons [05:01] So I tried the freespace partition, after it does that, it stops on the swap with an error [05:01] FenixNR: yes, that's not what I asked. But you do have other partitions? How many? 3? and you're trying to make at least two? [05:01] glitsj16: yes and I use screenlets. [05:02] glitsj16: but again i havent been able to find any [05:02] I have 2 partitions, C,D for my vista and backup area, then I have the free space for linux [05:02] FinixNR is it a relatively new drive ? not some old beat up one ? [05:02] Brand new drive [05:02] FenixNR: and you're trying to make how many more? [05:02] ext part [05:02] unavailable: hmm yes, true .. just the included screenlets in there i suppose, sorry for the confusion [05:02] Flannel, Enough to install ubuntu with [05:03] glitsj16: and ive searched gnome-look for hours, and even came in here, and asked a while back [05:03] FenixNR , by chance, do you have a windows installation on same drive ? [05:03] FenixNR: you can try gparted [05:03] Same drive, yes [05:03] FenixNR: That's not really helpful. Anyway, your problem *sounds* like it has to do with primary vs extended/logical partitions. [05:03] beware, Ubuntu will chance Master Boot [05:03] change [05:03] [question] ! I am connected with “ssh -X” to a computer, but when I try to execute a graphical command, it displays “Error: no display specified” [05:03] How do I know the number of my display? [05:03] Flannel, It's one 500 gig hard drive, 2 ntfs file systems, and FREE SPACE for the ubuntu one. It's 133gigs. [05:04] glitsj16: but someone told me that until they have the ability to read and update whats in a folder im out of luck [05:04] pabix: probably the DISPLAY environment var isn't set properly [05:04] Whenever I try to partition, after the second partition wether it be the ext3 or swap, it will make the rest unusable [05:04] FenixNR: This has nothing to do with the space. It has everything to do with the fact you can only have four primary partitions (or three primary and one exteneded) partition. [05:04] doje, actually it is empty [05:04] huh? [05:04] Flannel has the idea [05:04] but I don't know what to set [05:05] lemmie think here a min... [05:05] FenixNR: you have to manually make the rest of the area ext3/2 [05:05] I have tried with DISPLAY=:0.0 firefox, and I guess it has displayed on the remote machine [05:05] pabix: google ssh and DISPLAY and you'll probably find it [05:05] Hello [05:05] harpreet how would I do that?

[05:45] or night, I dont know [05:45] harpreet as a general rule, virtualization hasn't supported 3d video drivers. I'm open to the idea the vmware 6 does, I haven't investigated but I'd be really pleasantly suprised [05:45] ok [05:45] mewshi sometimes the smallest things seemd to make no differene, in all actuallity, they do. [05:45] it mounts now [05:45] but i don't have permission to view the contents :p [05:45] nickrud, hey is there a way to make the scale apply to minimized windows as well?

[05:47] It's something in ubuntu, because nothing external to the linux distribution has changed. [05:47] mewshi , have you tried staic IP with manual settings ? [05:48] I can't do that, because I'm all over the place through out the day [05:48] gotta get some sleep... goodnight, all. [05:48] it is really, since there are three human theme and sort of forot which is the default after returning to ubuntu agian.

[05:52] Does anyone use the avant window manager? and know allot about it [05:52] mewshi 's card bcm4138 [05:53] harpreet: Ubuntu JeOS (Just enough Operating System).

[05:55] harpreet: Yeah, I just thought there might be a channel dedicated to it. [05:55] I just restarted now i cant move any windows because the menu bar at the top is gone [05:55] I use networks where I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THAT STUFF [05:55] well first, you have o calm down. frsutration clouds the mind [05:56] well, ffs, i said it won't work === debian is now known as debian_akroyd [05:56] it must be something about ubuntu [05:56] good evening all [05:56] because sabayon worked *just* fine [05:56] !doesn't work | mewshi_ [05:56] mewshi_: 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.

[05:57] i have said that [05:57] FFS it isn't the signal strength [05:57] mewshi you will have to have someone else help you [05:57] it's something in ubuntu [05:57] mewshi_: does your access point cycle WEP keys are say - 30 second intervals? [05:57] I just restarted now i cant move any windows because the menu bar at the top is gone and awn won't start [05:57] no, i was running sabayon just this morning, ffs [05:58] !attitude | mewshi_ (and patience, the right people are not always around) [05:58] mewshi_ (and patience, the right people are not always around): The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

How do I change back to Nautilus= [05:59] ahorner try alt-f2 compiz --replace [05:59] ahorner: if you are using emerald, kill it and go back to metacity [05:59] ahorner: in an xterm gnome-panel --restart [05:59] mewshi: have you installed the drivers for Ubuntu or just referring to Sabayan (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=190177) [05:59] ahorner: or just use metacity --replace until you can fix the problem [06:00] Anyone know of a good prog that'll keep track of wireless networks you've been on and automatically connect to them when you are in range? [06:00] mewshi: for ndiswrapper if you haven't tried that [06:00] debian_akroyd: is afk [06:00] mewshi: you probably already looked into using wicd as an alternative to network manager ? if not, there'a a (long) thread at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=587010 you might be interested in [06:00] @debian_akroyd thanks, that works for now [06:00] hmm [06:00] dethray , you can make scripts to do that, but unfortunately i have no access to mine atm [06:00] ugh... why did i even bother installing this... you people seem to think everyone's a damned idiot... I know that the problem is somewhere within ubuntu, and that should have been enough for you to *stop* telling me to check the strength [06:01] mewshi_-> just an fyi.. the infamouse bcm43xx chips is very difficult animal to tame [06:01] when i do compiz --replace, i get Checking for Xgl: not present. [06:01] Detected PCI ID for VGA: 02:00.0 0300: 1002:7142 (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) [06:01] Checking for texture_from_pixmap: [06:01] then it quits === dragoncorp is now known as Dragoncorp [06:01] dethray NetworkManager ;) [06:01] amenado: it worked just dandy on sabayon. I had to install ONE THING, and it worked just fine [06:01] mewshi , i had been in the same shoes as you, so dont think noone has gone through it [06:01] well, i can't do the manual ip thing [06:01] I want it to work as intended [06:02] anyone know why hardy herron - server ed. gives errors on install in virtual pc 2007 [06:02] i miss my wobbly windows :'-( [06:02] mewshi , and i will admit, it was Ultra_Frustrating, just so you know, youre not the only one [06:02] mewshi: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=424994 [06:02] mewshi_-> you have not been assisting lots of people in this channel, that chip based on my experience here, is one of the most difficult one to make work..if you have made work you are amongst the few exceptions [06:02] it worked out of the box almost on another distribution [06:03] so the problem lies not with the chip [06:03] anyone know how to get rid of the error when you hit install on ubuntu 8 on virtual pc 2007 [06:03] debian_akroyd: is back [06:03] mewshi: from my experience Ubuntu doesn't work well with wireless which hopefully they will fix in a newer release. A card I could never get working in Ubuntu worked fine without a change in OpenSUSe [06:03] @debian_akroyd that at least got it so i can move my windows [06:04] mewshi_: use ndiswrapper see if problem's gone 3 simple steps. mines a bcm94311 only ndiswrapper works as apps,libraries upgrade in distro's mileage varys in past bcm43xx and b43 worked,but not anymore [06:04] @debian_akroyd but when i do compiz --replace to get them back, it says checking for xlg: not present then something else then quits [06:04] coatman , you sure have that right. its tricky to use wireless on Ubuntu, but it will work, given the effort [06:04] and my BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 01) has worked flawlessly since feisty [06:05] hi all [06:05] ahorner: are you currently using xgl? [06:05] ok, well, how do i install it using ndiswrapper? [06:05] ndiswrapper with a windows dll, used for the card seemed to be the general fix for the situation. i am sure there are many other ways [06:05] mewshi: well I did get the card working eventually using ndis, but it kept losing the connection with a high signal so it allowed me to explore another distrobution [06:05] @debian_akroyd i dunno, how do i check? i mean, compiz was workin fine till i restarted [06:05] i am tired, i'm frustrated, I just lost ALL of my accounting work. Could you please just link me to a guide? [06:05] ahorner: what does 'glxinfo | grep direct' say? [06:06] ahorner: well one way that i know of is running sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl [06:06] ManualOverDozer: I didn't mean Mewshi in that last message [06:06] coatman , once i got the card working properly on Ubuntu, the speed was double that of the windows counterpart [06:06] debian: hold plz [06:06] same card [06:06] ok [06:06] i am trying to compile bmpanel from source . ./configure shows no dependency problem but sudo make shows a lot of problems and i am not able to install it [06:06] @crdlb it is just hanging [06:06] ahorner: you don't want Xgl [06:06] ugh... [06:07] crdlb: is xgl out of date now? [06:07] ahorner: your video driver seems to be very broken then. Pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log [06:07] debian_akroyd: yes [06:07] ManualOverDozer: May have been, but getting it working in the first place is still more difficult than some other distros I've tried [06:07] mewshi_ I wish I had an answer. Like I said, I don't know much about wireless, mainly because it just Works for Me™ [06:07] so, could someone help me find a modern guide to getting it to work with ndiswrapper? [06:07] Mewshi: I sent you some links to the forums [06:08] mewshi: one had ndiswrapper instructions [06:08] mewshi_: try this http://www.blog.highub.com/linux/ubuntu-hardy-broadcom-wireless-setup/ i had to blacklist other bcm drivers also [06:08] Question: I installed PCManFM to test it in one of my user accounts, but now it's set as the default file manager in each one of my user accounts. How do I change back to Nautilus? [06:08] !ndiswrapper | mewshi_-> [06:08] !ndiswrapper [06:08] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:08] mewshi_, there is also auto-ndiswrapper: https://launchpad.net/auto-ndiswrapprer [06:08] whoops [06:08] @crdlb it is all like chinese characters [06:09] https://launchpad.net/auto-ndiswrapper is the correct URL [06:09] mweshi make sure your drivers are disabled are they? [06:09] Does anyone know any driver simulators for linux? Not racing but just driving a car. [06:09] @crdlb what do i do then? [06:09] @primoturbo sounds fun [06:10] for the love of linux I need help with nfs or somthing [06:10] PrimoTurbo: You could always look through the add remove software (on gnome idk about kde) [06:10] ahorner: how did you open your Xorg.0.log? [06:11] @crdlb sudo gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log [06:11] is there a good site that lists games for linux? [06:11] ahorner: pastebin it anyway [06:11] primoturbo try ur own synaptic [06:11] crdlb: i tried, it froze ff [06:12] I dont use ubuntu [06:12] anyone know any good programming forums? [06:12] I use arch but, even ubuntu repos are quite limited [06:12] ahorner: it really looks chinese? [06:12] I'm switching from another Distro and had bad 'luck' with its update manager. Is there a consensus on whether to use "Update Manager" or not (brand new PC w/ 8.04.1 desktop from .iso)? [06:12] PrimoTurbo: you could always use google linux to find driving games [06:12] crdlb: yeah and other special characters. [06:13] ahorner: try installing pastebinit and using that [06:13] PrimoTurbo: thats what i used to do when i was into linux gaming [06:13] I tried [06:13] crdlb: theres nothing legible you could get anyway [06:13] PrimoTurbo: nothing? === iSephr is now known as Sephr === gR is now known as Nalga [06:14] is there any way to disable the leave and enter alerts? [06:14] i am trying to compile bmpanel from source . ./configure shows no dependency problem but sudo make shows a lot of problems and i am not able to install it [06:15] http://nsf.110mb.com/bmpanel/ is the link [06:15] davidm, what distro [06:15] oh thats the thing i dislike about source code sometimes. some programs are coded around older or newer kernels and wont work on the kernel you have installed... [06:16] can someone help me install SARA please? [06:16] bazzie: I'm coming from openSUSE 10.3 and now using the latest Ubuntu desktop (can't remember the "name" of this current Ubuntu version!) [06:17] davidm: ubuntu hardy heron [06:17] davidm, would that be Hardy Heron 8.04? [06:17] i think i spelled heron right [06:17] debian_akroyd: did i hear opensource is freedom? [06:17] Sounds 'bout right! [06:17] Uplink: Do you have the original install disks? [06:17] genii, disks? what disks? [06:17] murlidhar: opensource is free as in beer as in freedom [06:17] OK, so I need to install the VMWare Tools on Ubuntu JeOS, but all of the modules fail compiling with all these different errors. Unknown symbols and so forth. Is there something I'm missing there? The tools are a pretty crucial part. [06:17] So is "Update Manager" a good thing in Hardy Heron? [06:17] is there a way to clean my install with out reinstalling it [06:18] two main things...1 my wireless doesn't work (i have a broadcom 43xx and i've done like 3 or 4 completely different fixes that have availed to nothing), and 2 when i resume from hibernate, my screen stays black, including no backlight (so how do i stop this from happening, besides ctrl+alt+f1, ctrl+alt+f7) [06:18] murlidhar: freedom to do what ever you wish with the building blocks of the program that you desire [06:18] if i can borrow someone for a few moments to tell me why this is even happening and how to fix it, i'd be very grateful [06:18] in otherwords, free dom to edit programs that you want to edit [06:18] or do what ever you want to them [06:18] make them more cooler [06:18] davidm, might want to learn command line (apt-get) as it is very efficient; also synaptic package manager, update manager simply notifies you of updates though you can configure when and how it does that [06:18] more secure [06:18] Uplink: Sorry, thought you said CATIA [06:18] fix bugs yourself [06:19] can someone help me install SARA(Security Auditor's Research Assistant) please? [06:19] debian_akroyd: that's why i am tryin to compile it since it doesn't have any debian package [06:19] bazzie - is there any benefit in using it right after a clean install? [06:19] murlidhar: have you read the documentation included with the source code? or did i not provide any [06:20] debian_akroyd: is afk [06:20] cypha, have you tried auto-ndiswrapper? [06:20] I don't know if it will fix your problem, but it may be worth a shot [06:20] davidm, generally making sure your sources repositories are set correctly (system admin software sources) then sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade (from gnome-terminal) will do you right [06:20] i need help ;___; [06:20] Anyone know how to disable echo REQUEST/REPLy/ [06:21] can someone help me install SARA(Security Auditor's Research Assistant) please? [06:21] is there anyway to broadcast music to the internets with rythmbox? [06:21] anyone know any good programming forums? [06:21] debian_akroyd: i did and the ./configure didn't give me any errors [06:21] davidm, if you are using 8.04.1 then it will be quite up to date already, with the ssl vulnerability already fixed. [06:21] whats ./configure for? [06:21] dunnen: what language [06:21] I have two hard drives, and I want to be able to use them both without having to constantly disconnect them and stuff [06:21] debian_akroyd: is back [06:21] Kind of like dual-booting === SplinTer is now known as SplinTer0616_ [06:22] debian_akroyd: therefore , there should not be any dependency problem [06:22] bazzie - May I ask one more, is there a site or list that has the "good" repositories (or are they 'pre-installed')? [06:22] murlidhar: ive had that happen too where the ./configure checks out, but the code is built around the old kernel [06:22] and some old kernel features that the program requires are not implemented in the current kernel [06:22] dunnen: what language [06:22] Uplink, have a look at this page: http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/ [06:22] davidm, the standard ubuntu repos; you can /msg ubottu repos for more info and a link [06:22] Uplink: its kinda like preping it to compile [06:23] murlidhar: i believe there is an ubuntu developer room here that you could go to get developer level help [06:23] can anyone suggest a good ATI video driver that can support openGL? [06:23] Uplink, the guide is a little out of date, but it's worked fine for me [06:23] ezlo: why don't you just dual boot? [06:23] bazzie - do I enter that in my IRC client or on a website (can you say GREEN!)? [06:23] rivitingone: fglrx driver [06:23] Uplink: it is a script that checks the dependencies that are required for installing an application from source . [06:23] McShane, well... SARA doesnt install through package man [06:24] davidm, if you ever want to manually adjust the repos you can do so via gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [06:24] but i have a genuine vista in the other [06:24] Uplink: it is usually package with the source file [06:24] davidm, here in irc [06:24] i want to use it for games and things [06:24] I cant install SARA http://www.linux.com/articles/51230 :( [06:24] Uplink, the guide covers all the installation methods -- look just a wee bit closer at the table of contents [06:24] just tried that, I can't get over 800 X 600 :( when I rebooted it came up with some error, asked me to choose drivers and then here I am [06:24] debian_akroyd: any idea what the channel is for ubuntu developers [06:24] bazzie - cool!

[06:48] ok going to restart, brb people :) [06:48] Shish: killall firefox-bin [06:48] Shish: killall firefox or xkill [06:49] mattchew: thanks a lot, really appreciate it [06:49] Shish: or ya I guess its just killall firefox now [06:49] nomad727: thank you very much, appreciate it [06:49] np [06:49] Cebrimal: there is WoW under Wine troubleshooter here: http://www.wowwiki.com/Linux/Wine/Troubleshooting [06:49] ok [06:49] Hello, i just upgraded to the latest kernel in the repos (-20) and now ubuntu wont even start up on that kernel, it doesnt even show the usplash screen...suggestions (besides using an older kernel which i know works) [06:49] i updated the kernel today and now the load bar stops around 97% so my system won't load. what should i do? [06:49] evilbug: start it in recovery mode [06:50] and? [06:50] evilbug: from grub push every button on the keyboard (thats how i do it) and then select recovery mode [06:50] lol [06:50] evilbug: see what causes it to stop loading [06:51] how do i _see_ what causes it? [06:51] will it just display the issue? [06:51] or do i have to type something in? [06:51] evilbug: it will not even use usplash [06:51] it will show a terminal [06:51] Hello, i just upgraded to the latest kernel in the repos (-20) and now ubuntu wont even start up on that kernel, it doesnt even show the usplash screen...when i start in recovery mode the last line before it freezes is 'checking hit instruction......ok" [06:51] what goes on behind the status bar [06:51] evilbug: you can try using single splash=quiet verbose [06:52] sad face [06:52] appended to kernel= line [06:52] Hi. Is there a way to change the kubuntu loading screen to ubuntu? [06:52] evilbug: add panic=5 [06:53] I have an Nvidia card, and I installed Xgl. I understand that I don't need to have explicitly installed Xgl, if I uninstall it, do I need to do anything else to make sure the original Nvidia drivers take over? [06:53] meoblast: if you can get to a terminal you should be able to look at the boot log [06:53] kdb424- that's easy, just download an ubuntu splash from gnome-look.org and have that load up. [06:53] evilbug: Thanks so much. I installed kibuntu and installed the gnome desktop, cause it's better. lol [06:54] evilbug: or boot up live-cd check /var/log/boot.log? on the install [06:54] Hello, i just upgraded to the latest kernel in the repos (-20) and now ubuntu wont even start up on that kernel, it doesnt even show the usplash screen...when i start in recovery mode the last line before it freezes is 'checking hit instruction......ok" [06:54] hosk: I think if you are on hardy you are supposed to uninstall xgl. And I would recommend using EnvyNG to install the latest driver for you [06:54] nomad727- is there any way a "-f install" would fix this? [06:55] mattchew: I tried that command you sent but how do I get to root? and I had to restart my computer so I need it again please [06:55] EnvyNG? [06:55] evilbug: you could try it,or bootup old kernel,apt-get remove --purge kernel-version-hosed then reinstall [06:56] hosk: yes, for hardy heron [06:56] should be able to chroot from live-cd [06:56] hosk: otherwise its just Envy [06:56] genii, any luck? [06:56] rivitingone: sudo apt-get purge xserver-xgl [06:56] nomad727- i could boot from the old kernel but i set startup manager to only show the newest kernel in grub. [06:56] rivitingone: that one? [06:56] mattchew: thanks, I'm on 8.04 and I guess I'll drop Xgl and see what happens [06:57] yes, but it says I am not root? How do I become root? [06:57] sudo [06:57] it should prompt for your password [06:57] errr su [06:57] evilbug: live-cd edit /boot/grub/menu.lst remove the # [06:57] are you on ubuntu? [06:57] never mind [06:57] mattchew how do I become root? I am, 8.04 hardy [06:58] nomad727- thanks! [06:58] I have like 5 kernels [06:58] hello there..

(without putting it in my own photo album) [07:00] mattchew: Going to try that envyng again but last time I got flashy strobe issues with the driver it picked [07:00] rivitingone: okay that means it isnt installed then. So you said you tried using EnvyNG and it didnt work out or what? [07:00] youtube has suddenly stopped working, how can I fix it? the videos won't load, even after i reload [07:01] mattchew: and right now it boots into low graphics mode for some reason [07:01] rivitingone: ya its probably something that needs to be set in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [07:01] CostaRicanQuaker: try another similar site,if works probly youtube server load or problem on website [07:02] is anyone here running the latest kernel in the repos? 2.6.24-20?

I'm newer to linux [07:02] Im running 2.6.24-19-generic [07:02] rivitingone: google for "xorg.conf nvidia" and find some examples of people putting resolutions and refresh rates in theres and you should be able to add a few and see if works [07:03] mattchew: ok thanks [07:03] kdb424, u wanna customize your ubuntu?

I just need a someone to push me to the right answer [07:51] it would boot to a black screen and ask for login [07:51] and pw [07:51] rexus: /var/cache/apt/archives/ [07:51] Genik: I have two cheat cards, if you need them [07:51] eternauta: man 5 hosts [07:51] wols_: the .tar.gz that i downloaded is only showing in there [07:51] all the .deb files [07:51] cheat cards? [07:51] i wanted it on the desktop, but ican't move it [07:51] used to install the packages [07:51] from fileroller i guess [07:52] they show commamds [07:52] I am having a problem installing ubuntu. It hangs at 6% on the select and install software screen. I am using the alternate install cd. [07:52] warriorforgod, did you md5 the iso [07:52] When i boot ubuntu it goes to a black screen for login and PW and i have to type startx to make the GUI appear [07:52] why [07:52] I am running a disk check on the cd right now. [07:53] I have already read it wols, I also tried several configurations... but it doesnt work. I am configuring a cluster mpi-lam and it needs that 127.0.0.1 resolves to something different than localhost. But when I cahnged it I was left without sudo, so I dont know [07:53] warriorforgod, md5 the iso and burn at a slow speed usually helps [07:53] !md5 | warriorforgod [07:53] warriorforgod: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [07:54] guys whats the root account [07:54] There is no root. XD [07:54] genik, use sudo (user password) [07:54] only sudo in ubuntu [07:54] so root is useless? [07:54] i had root in ubuntu [07:54] genik, not enabled in ubuntu [07:54] oh [07:54] wols_: Thank you for explaining. === EGU is now known as ExGearUser [07:55] i enabled it lol [07:55] i thought we had to [07:55] genik sudo is safer [07:55] you can make a user called root and give it full power but its weak compared to real root [07:55] okay [07:55] so ubuntu is the BEST right? === todd is now known as Guest9609 [07:55] out of all the distributions [07:55] genik best for what [07:56] there is no over all bests [07:56] man sudo_root may help you [07:56] well why is ubunto so popular then [07:56] ubuntu is the best for new linux users [07:56] i see [07:56] genik, support community [07:56] any way to make java games (eg runescape) use the socks5 proxy configured in firefox? everything else goes through the proxy, it even loads the java application via the proxy but when it runs it still seems to be going direct? [07:56] it is good; but sometimes stuff will just slap you in the face if it doesn't work [07:56] (me is actually a new linux user) [07:56] but lacks things need for the more invasive users [07:57] is it possible to play games like counter-strike ? [07:57] Eternal Lands will run in Ubuntu, much like Runescape [07:57] what would this mean from update manager? http://pastie.org/private/yzogzvxffr41ae17gnrwpg [07:57] my kids are pissed off, they can't both be on the same world 'cos of being on the same IP so I want one game to go via a socks5 proxy on my webserver [07:57] genik: maybe with wine [07:57] wine ? [07:57] whats that [07:57] !appdb | genik check here [07:57] genik check here: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [07:57] zcat even with NAT router ? [07:57] I have my wifi router to hide my SSID. How can i set up my ubuntu wifi such that it will connect to the hidden SSID automaticly? [07:57] Wine Is Not an Emulator [07:57] its a progam that lets windwos programs run in linux [07:57] NAT enabled router ? [07:58] intresting [07:58] nat means both connections appear to runescape to be from 'one IP' [07:58] 有没有中文qcad? [07:58] hehe it's easier to have a xp client and connect rdp to rather than have a virtual machine :) [07:58] mrynit, associate the ap [07:58] and yes W.ine I.s N.ot an E.mulator [07:58] runescape has the problem, not NAT.. it won't allow two logins from a single address [07:58] mrynit the setting to hide your SSID is withing your router [07:58] SO I need to make one seem to be from my webserver [07:59] ManualOverDozer, yes i konw. I have my router's SSID hidden. so the wifi manager does not see it. [07:59] but as a rule of thumb you need atleast double the requirements to run the game 3/4th as good [07:59] maybe you can email Runescape and have them put you on the "whitelist" , that is, if you are paying for both accounts [07:59] or any other proxy would be fine... I just happen to have set up socks5 and squid on my webserver [07:59] free accounts [07:59] bazzie, how would i do that? [08:00] then in that case, not much you can do about that [08:00] unless it supports native opengl [08:00] and the less windows only stuff needed the better [08:00] mrynit, cli is the easiest; ubuntuforums has a comprehensive manual wireless guide [08:00] how do i find out my hard disc space used? i did du -h and got a whole stream of my homedirectory or something [08:01] mrynit , even if you choose to attempt to hide your SSID , it still can be seen, hardly worth even hiding it, in the first place [08:01] !tell mrynit about wifi [08:01] mrynit, please see my private message [08:01] Anyone having boot problem with latest kernel 2.6.24.20 from the last update? My Averatec does not boot with that version but works with the previous 2.6.24.19 (Still installed) (never had this problem before) [08:01] livingdaylight: du -h -c | grep total [08:01] so check it, i have the 64 bit and the 32 bit version of my broadcom driver...i'm on ubuntu 64....but when i choose the 64 bit version of my broadcom driver, it says hardware not found...but when i use the 32 bit, it says it's found [08:01] DrRealHouse, you are using proposed repos [08:01] but of course, network manager still doesn't have an option for wireless [08:01] is there a fancy rss feed reader for ubuntu tht shows latest topics on the desktop, which can be then clicked and opens in firefox? [08:02] bazzie: Yes, everything by default... [08:02] Flannel: i just want to find out about my hard drive i recall a command different to the one you gave [08:02] DrRealHouse, i'm still on 2.6.24.19 so dont know [08:02] hello all, I have installed ubuntu on my Siemens laptop, I have ATI chip, the screen appears in a very small square, not using the full width and hight of the screen [08:02] livingdaylight: df [08:02] whats the best way to go on IRC with ubuntu? [08:02] genik: irssi or xchat [08:02] genik: Pidgin, really easy. [08:02] konversation :) [08:03] genik: i think xchat-gnome [08:03] xchat is nice [08:03] exot: what ati chip exactly? [08:03] livingdaylight: that'll do it just fine. well, du -c / | grep total anyway [08:03] genik: xchat [08:03] pidgin easy , but xchat seems to work much better [08:03] ManualOverDozer, yes i know. just makes it some what more secure [08:03] im waitin for my ubuntu to download its at 28% =/ [08:03] mrynit , unfortunate, but true, you got that right [08:03] genik: if ur not a pureist, u can get mirc running with wine also [08:04] ATI Technologies Inc Redeon Mobility x1400 [08:04] plop ! [08:04] mrynit you hide it on the router web interface [08:04] how long did it take you guys to download ubuntu [08:04] hey now no need for mIRC we have very capable irc programs between x-chat and konversation [08:04] ManualOverDozer, yes.... i did it already ... [08:04] exot: and the driver you use is? [08:04] is somebody know where gnome-session-property puts it's conf files ? [08:04] exot: I have a x1200, and installed the latest driver from ATI/AMD version 8.7... Now everything works as expected [08:04] mrynit something like 192.168.1.1 or similiar, you have to see what your Gateway address is [08:05] genik: until it was done [08:05] ... [08:05] usually its the Gateway, but not always [08:05] timewise sir! [08:05] genik few minutes [08:05] genik: about 10mins :D but then i have 20Mbit broadband [08:05] how can I do to change 127.0.0.1 resolve to localhost? I added 127.0.0.1 myhostname to /etc/hosts but doesnt work, any help? [08:05] wow my internet sucks then :( [08:05] ManualOverDozer, yes i know .... [08:05] wols_, I don't know :) [08:05] mrynit ok [08:05] its taking me like 2 hours [08:05] DrRealHouse, can you please help [08:05] i used my schools net as i pick up the wifi and school is out [08:05] 95% on Ubuntu 8.04 [08:06] quick inquiry is there a program that I can bookmark a spot in a music file and have it so it can pick up where it leaves off? mp3 books mainly [08:06] exot: What was the problem I missed it. [08:06] thus i get my wifi's speed cap [08:06] Flannel: df -h is what i was looking for [08:06] DSL is supposed to be faster than 125kb/sec, no? [08:06] genik: depends on your isp [08:06] exot: juat fyi: installing the drivers from ati.com will most likely break your ubuntu in the long term. yoU've been warned [08:06] i feel like everyone's internet is so much faster [08:06] genik: dsl can go up to 8Mbits and dsl2 will be faster i think [08:06] take the MBit/s and divide by 16 and times by 1024 to get KB/s [08:06] DrRealHouse, the screen appears in a small square, it's not using the full width and hight [08:06] Hey, I am using ubuntu hardy with latest updates, but when I use my wireless card after 1 or 2 minutes the system crashes, it's a iwl4965 [08:07] genik it depends on what speed you buy, around here some dsl is 80kbps [08:07] ionstorm66: great math.... NOT [08:07] hmm [08:07] There is nothing in kernel logs [08:07] Consumer DSL may max at 8, but there are business lines that are symmetrical 24Mbps [08:07] you can also buy 15mbps cable, so there is quite a variety [08:07] wols_: whats wrong with it? [08:07] quick inquiry is there a program that I can bookmark a spot in a music file and have it so it can pick up where it leaves off? mp3 books mainly [08:07] (nothing related) [08:07] u get 2400kb/sec on 20Mbit [08:07] wowo 24mbps [08:07] exot: Do you see all your desktop or only a part of it (IE: 800x600 desktop in a 1600x1050 LCD screen) [08:07] gbps i see [08:08] why is it called 20Mbit if you get 2.4Mbit Lol [08:08] DrRealHouse, yes all of it [08:08] gb vs mb [08:08] ionstorm66: the result is half the actual speed [08:08] how do you resize ogg video? [08:08] Convert it just doesnt work [08:08] bytes compared to bits [08:08] exot : Is the screen centered or at the left/right of your screen? [08:09] well coz 2.4 megabytes is not the same as20 megabits [08:09] DrRealHouse, yes centered [08:09] exot: ok, is it a LCD screen? on a laptop? [08:09] oh der 8 not 16 ~_~ [08:09] yes [08:09] its a sales pitch, they will tell you the number that looks to be the higher one, so it looks impressive [08:09] siemens laptop [08:10] so its divided by 8? [08:10] exot: I know what is happening, your configuration is at a lower resolution thant the capacity of your screen... [08:10] bit x 8 = 1 byte [08:10] I see .. good :D [08:10] how can we configure ? [08:10] exot: and your laptop is not streching the display to fill the screen at lower resolution [08:10] i see ! [08:11] exot: Normally, this is a setting in the bios, or set the resolution at the native resolutio of your screen [08:11] although there are parity bits too nots its not always spot on [08:11] DrRealHouse, no .. it's completely normal [08:11] in the bios ? hmm let me check [08:11] so, df -h gives me the Total Used and Available stats... Can someone tell me how i find out specifically how much room available left in my /home/user directory is? [08:12] Ubuntu 8.04 ready for burn [08:12] How do I from the shell get a list of all packages that are installed on my system -- preferably the ones I've installed directly, ie. not dependencies. [08:12] i am trying to connect via a wireless card. I can connect to the router, i get an ip address 173.*.*.*, but then i can not connect to anything on the internet. Including if i put in ip addresses. I get "Network Not Reachable" any hints suggestions? [08:12] exot: I have that on one of my laptop (Averatec 3200). Native res is at 1024x768 [08:12] Zta: dpkg -l |grep ^ii [08:12] its looks like i'm full anyway... coz i was downloading a torrent and my computer just shut off [08:12] /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel coesnt work? [08:12] there should be one desktop Feed Reader, which will only show latest unread topics on a transparent-background on the desktop, [08:12] is there any? [08:12] /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel doesnt work? [08:13] wols_, thanks [08:13] exot: What is your native resolution (Screen) and you actual resolution (you can see that in System - Preferences - Screen Resolution) [08:13] myhaz have you tried straight up IP to bypass a DNS issue ? [08:13] wols_, though some seem rather dependencyish. But it's a start =) === shoot^ is now known as tom [08:19] server down [08:19] myHaz you cant even ping your router ? [08:19] whoah [08:19] that was crazy [08:19] luuuuulz [08:19] what is this so many people logging in/out??? [08:19] cleaning out the bots maybe [08:19] debasys, netsplit. [08:19] !netsplit | debasys [08:19] debasys: 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 [08:19] ManualOverDozer: well i can ping the router, i get an ip address, a strange one 173.*.*.* [08:19] exot: Give me a sec, I'll look in google [08:19] wols_: I think I had it working in gutsy by with my new hardy install it won't work. . I even had BigDesktop working [08:19] thanks mrynit [08:19] wols_: [08:19] mrynit: oh :) [08:19] oh yes [08:19] DrRealHouse, thank you very much :) [08:19] i trust OGG theora now [08:19] oks, so i just setup 7.04 from an old cd i have.. i managed to get the wireless driver setup and showing in the network options, but the thing will NOT connect to anything [08:19] it crashed xorg [08:19] "doesn't work | gonzojive [08:19] i cant win [08:19] !doesn't work | gonzojive [08:19] gonzojive: 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. [08:19] my_haz yes that is unusual, but not impossible [08:19] i have to convert to ogg theora but i cant because all the converters suck [08:19] ffmpeg makes bad fiels [08:20] my_haz you familiar with ipconfig in command prompt ? === gnome_ is now known as gnub [08:20] is 173 even a public class A black [08:20] ManualOverDozer: not ipconfig, ifconfig, iwconfig [08:20] its not normal, but anyone in thier own LAN can have just about any IP they wish [08:20] if i sign off in the next few seconds, OGG Theora sux [08:20] ManualOverDozer: sorry i mean not ipconfig, but yes with ifconfig and iwconfig [08:20] meoblast001: http://v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/ ?

[08:21] file opens in mplayer [08:21] now to try totem [08:22] the big daddy of them all that cant run worht crap [08:22] exot: Not easy to find. But have you tried changing resolution to native? [08:22] my_haz the same one you connected with now, doesnt do DNS queries or PINGs ? [08:22] ManualOverDozer: to note i can't connect with windows either [08:22] francais [08:22] ManualOverDozer: but i know soooo little windows that its useless for me to try [08:22] my_haz so you can connect with Linux, but not windows ? [08:22] ManualOverDozer: nah this is a different computer location all together, a cyber cafe [08:23] my_haz, that explains it [08:23] my_haz, if i setup the drivers for my wireless adapter (USB key) and they it is showing up in the network settings, configered (as far as I can tell) correctly, but still will not ping or connect.. where would i start looking to fix? [08:23] DrRealHouse, all what do I have in the video configuration menue is [Display] and Cmpensation = disabled [08:23] ManualOverDozer: no i cann't connect with either [08:23] please help. running 8.04 64bit. sound in vlc is choppy. tried changing sound pref in ubuntu and vlc output modules. still choppy. [08:23] well im supprised it worked [08:23] but i have to do another recording cuz i messed up [08:23] wireless altogether is unstable, doesnt matter what OS you use, yet, i get much faster downloads using linux than i do with windows [08:23] display = [Internal Flad Panel, External Analog, External Digital, Auto ] [08:24] same card, same box, different OS on same box and machine [08:24] Hyperviolet: you can see the router with iwconfig? [08:24] :d [08:24] do i just type iwconfig? [08:24] 8-) [08:24] OH DrRealHouse THANK YOU, I changed the compensation to enabled, and it works, but a very bad resolution [08:24] i did get some feedback, nothing that says no router [08:25] :d [08:25] Hyperviolet: you should probably use the graphical tool [08:25] ESSID: off/any [08:25] Hyperviolet: did you set your connection to "Roaming" [08:25] ok, i have Ubuntu 8.02 now, what can i expect different/similiar over ver 7 ? [08:25] no, it's manually set [08:25] DrRealHouse, thank you really [08:26] is anyone using Ubuntu 8.02 ? [08:26] ManualOverDozer: you mean 8.04? [08:26] here is no difference [08:26] Hyperviolet: you'll have more success with roaming [08:26] ManualOverDozer: that doesn't exist [08:26] exot: Still there? [08:26] really? i've read the exact opposite on the forums [08:26] Hey I have hardy heron installed on my laptop and its been on it since it came out, recently Ive been having this super odd freezing problem, the screen is frozen, keyboard doesn't respond its always when Im using gimp, does anyone know what the problem might be [08:26] yes 8.04 [08:26] :D [08:26] DrRealHouse, yes [08:27] DrRealHouse, but how can I change the resolution to 1024x [08:27] i have 7.x havent yet to try 8.x [08:27] exot: ok, you have a bad resolution because it is not native to your screen [08:27] any pros/cons i should know of ? [08:27] DrRealHouse: Alt+F2, gksudo displayconfig-gtk [08:27] lol \etc\bin [08:27] i have 8.x but i have not tried 7 so don't know, last i had was dapper [08:27] exot: look in "System - Preference - Screen Resolution" [08:27] hmm [08:28] my_haz you like 8.x ? [08:28] DrRealHouse, yes it;s 800x600 [08:28] when i enable roaming, the wireless goes grey and looks inactive [08:28] when i enable manual, it appears to work [08:28] LSD|Ninja: also... [08:28] but i still cannot ping anything [08:28] MORNING ALLLL [08:28] exot: Can you chage it? [08:28] The one in Preferences sucks, the fact it's in Prefs and not Admin should give that away [08:28] guys, when installing in linux do you think we need to make many partitions e.g for /boot /usr /var etc ?? [08:28] it's the max [08:28] wols_: First I tried to get Hardy working with BigDesktop like Gutsy had been working fine with. But I had no luck--probably because fglrx wasn't working at all. Now I am just trying to get a functioning FGLRX with a single monitor. When I boot my computer with a Driver "fglrx" line in the device section of my xorg.conf, the screen flickers 3 times and X boots into a failsafe graphics configuration [08:29] ManualOverDozer: its alright, doesn't support sounds as good as dapper or fiesty [08:29] exot: Ok, it see what is the problem, you are probably in vesa mode [08:29] exot: I have the same problem with my X1200 when in Vesa (compatible mode) [08:29] my_haz i dont use sound much anyhow, this is an onboard soundcard, , doesnt sound all that well to begin with [08:29] ManualOverDozer: then its normally pretty good [08:30] DrRealHouse, okay .. :) [08:30] wols_: I have tried both the supplied FGLRX in the ubuntu repos and the latest driver from ATI. Now i'm trying a slightly older version [08:30] ManualOverDozer: i don't like how it default handels pgp keys etc [08:30] exot: Have you enable the FGLRX driver? [08:30] ManualOverDozer: where if you are logged in, it remembers them [08:30] my_haz i just was going to wipe 7.x complete and plop 8.x on that drive [08:30] I have apt-get it, but don't know how to enable it [08:30] 8.04 64bit. sound in vlc is choppy. tried changing sound pref in ubuntu and vlc output modules. still choppy. [08:30] where is the graphical iwconfig tool [08:30] whassa [08:31] my_haz i dont even mess with keys, just do MAC filter on router, no real need for keys if i do that [08:31] Hyperviolet: its in the top corner of gnome, its either bar icons, or tow little screens [08:31] exot: Go to "System - Administration - Driver something" (My system is in french.. sorry) [08:31] ManualOverDozer: well if you ssh/scp a lot you need them :>D [08:31] okat === ForTheHorde is now known as donaq [08:31] restarting [08:32] my_haz i had to make a script so it would keep my keys, so i dropped it altogether and just allowed only my MAC to be used [08:32] ManualOverDozer: fair enough [08:32] not seeing iwconfig tool [08:32] I need some help over the automatic shambles update that I had last night to kernel 2.6.24-19 and some libs and also it installed a new kernel 2.6.24-20 which would not boot over grub (it hung opn strting up) kernel 2.6.24-19 works and loads fine but the other is a nightmare Im not expereinced in Linux and am sick to deat of reading all the help and FAQ that dont mean a thing or comming here to get useless responses from crtains ppl... coulld a kind oersonp [08:33] my_haz i keep it simple, if someone can clone or duke my MAC addy, then so be it, they can have the service till i press the reset button :P [08:33] exot: Make sure also the install the flgrx-control from synaptic, you will have then a tool to configure properly your video card [08:33] how to check Ubuntu for viruses [08:33] exot: it will be called "Ati Catalyst Control Center" [08:33] USe clamtk [08:34] ManualOverDozer: its trivial to clone a mac address [08:34] my_haz, i do not think it seems my router [08:34] Clamav or clamTK is GUI for clam av [08:34] i sure do hope i got the LiveCD version, now that i think of it [08:34] X3: I have exactly the same problem on an Averatec [08:34] synaptic should have it [08:34] Hyperviolet: i mean i can send out any mac address i want with linux [08:35] oh i try to present Ubuntu with no viruses [08:35] Dr real house with the kernel update??? [08:35] i'm confused [08:35] i just don't get why it sees my wireless adapter but cannot connect [08:35] yes on a 32 bit amd system, it stops at the "Checking htl ... " [08:35] X3: But version 19 works without problems [08:35] i can SEE the wireless network i am supposed to be on.. and i am pretty sure my WEP is correct [08:36] HI all.. how to draw Networkusage inupper Panel? [08:36] Back, and still no changed splash screens. lol [08:36] so anI have AMD system as well [08:36] Hyperviolet, whats the problem [08:36] Uplink, i just installed the drivers for my wireless USB adapter [08:36] WG111v3 [08:36] but this gives no errors it just wont boot past starting up [08:36] Hyperviolet, hows the firmware [08:36] my_haz not really worried. these machines i use are dispensible. they are only used as test-subjects, so why not get free rats while i am at it :) [08:36] ubuntu sees the adapter, i can configure it, and i can see the wireless network (secured) that i want to connect to === donaq is now known as RatInRace [08:36] X3: Could it be related to AMD processor. I am currently with a AMD64 and I do not have this problem. [08:36] any joy on this for you drealhouse [08:37] firmware for the adapter? is up to date as far as i can tell [08:37] Im on amd 32bit [08:37] Hyperviolet, so whats the problem? [08:37] i can't ping out [08:37] X3: I am waiting for the next version and booting in version 19 for now. [08:37] and can't connect to the router [08:37] cant ICMP? [08:37] ManualOverDozer: your own little honey-pot away from home :D [08:37] my Network Manager doesn't show Wireless connection as an option [08:37] try ping 127.0.01 [08:37] try ping 127.0.0.1* [08:37] ok that works [08:38] i can ping myself [08:38] my_haz see my next message private [08:38] surely must be a way to fix it do the devs know about this [08:38] wols_: you still there? [08:38] try iwconfig [08:38] yes [08:38] uplink, me? [08:38] ManualOverDozer: i don't see it? [08:38] cypha, no [08:38] X3: I searched the net, but found nothing at this point. Tried also with ACPI=noirq just in case but no success. [08:38] "no wireless extensions" [08:38] Hyperviolet: did you find the graphical thing yet? [08:39] Hyperviolet, ifconfig -a [08:39] i didn't find the graphical [08:39] exot: so, is it working? [08:39] cypha, i'll be with u in just a moment [08:39] Hyperviolet: you don't see the two little "TV" up in the top right corner of gnome? [08:39] Hyperviolet, does it show it? [08:39] X3: What is the brand of your PC/Laptop? [08:39] Hyperviolet, iwconfig -a and pastebin it [08:39] it looks like it [08:39] it shows something [08:39] HWaddr [08:40] me too drRealhouse Im getting to the point where I think windows is better and that is bad [08:40] it has a mac address it looks like === poor_prince is now known as co---ganteng [08:40] surely someone here knows a fix [08:40] no packets RX or TX [08:40] uplink, thanks [08:41] inet addr has an IP [08:41] uplink, please Highlight me when the time comes =) thanks [08:41] thx for your feedback on this drRealhouse but Im hoping someone here knows how to fix it [08:41] but i cant connect to the router using FF [08:41] cypha, no problem [08:42] Hyperviolet, im still waiting [08:42] i don't know how to interperate this... it looks like it can see the router with ifconfig [08:42] X3: Nah, this is really strange, never had this kind of problem for several years. And it seemed related to something precise... If AMD cpu are not working with this version, it will be fixed really soon and we will see a .21 coming out in the next few days. [08:42] Hyperviolet, type this on console and pastebin it "iwconfig -a" [08:43] mm sure thx [08:43] -a No such device [08:43] X3 : Remember that when upgrading a Windows (Service pack...) and you have a problem, you need to format and reinstall. With Ubuntu (Linux), simply reboot with the previous kernel :) [08:44] Ill resstorre my ubuntiu to a prestine condition atm My res is 640x380 even its fooked it akl u this update [08:44] Hyperviolet, ifconfig -a [08:44] Why do GNOME System Tools need a process? Isn't this a waste? [08:44] well yea but its buggered my intall completly [08:44] DrRealHouse, the driver is enabled, but it's still 800x600. I tried to change it, it's the max, I went to the control, but it's the same, max 800x600 [08:44] cypha, what kind of WNIC u got?

[08:46] blogi, through the desktop panel, top right.. volume icon [08:46] exot: Did you installed the ATI Catalyt Control Center (fglrx-control package) [08:46] uplink: i've tried this so far: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/internet/C/ndiswrapper.html [08:46] a lot came up [08:46] ? [08:46] !paste Hyperviolet [08:46] Uplink: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:46] as well as like 10 other "solutions" [08:46] !paste | Hyperviolet [08:46] Hyperviolet: 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) [08:46] let me try and find links [08:46] problem is drRealhouse when I come in here for hep I never seem to get any [08:46] i'm not in ubuntu right now [08:46] DrRealHouse, sorry for the disconnection [08:46] ohh...found it :) [08:46] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NdiswrapperOnAMD64 [08:46] uplink [08:46] it's at the computer right next to me [08:47] cypha, no need to install ndiswrap or ndisgtk [08:47] cypha, for me.. bcm43xx worked out of the box .. [08:47] X3 : thing are going fast in IIRC... are you able to boot in version 19? [08:47] DrRealHouse, the driver is enabled, but it's still 800x600. I tried to change it, it's the max, I went to the control, but it's the same, max 800x600 [08:47] Will compiling my kernel and setting the processor to core2 make any difference what so ever from the generic 386 one thats set by default? [08:47] uplink, i also try b43-fwcutter [08:47] cypha, i tried all that... *BEFORE hardy [08:48] i've done so much crap, i have half a mind to just reformat and try again === esc_ is now known as esc [08:48] cypha, calm down... i know ur pain bro... trust me... [08:48] one question you may help me on drRealHouse... Where can I get a list of official repos that maintain up to date applications [08:48] after all this, wireless is still not even an option in network manager [08:48] k...so what do you suggest brother? [08:48] cypha, look in restricted drivers [08:48] exot: Then you display is not recornized properly... Give me a sec, I'll look for the command to start the wizard for the Screen setup... [08:48] i have nvidia there [08:48] oh thanks :) [08:48] * X3 has nvidia here too [08:48] cypha, System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [08:49] yeah, i have nvida [08:49] i'm not using it though [08:49] Hyperviolet, i need to see that your WNIC is being picked up [08:49] * X3 has a XPS M1730 that would love to be able to run ubunto in [08:49] X3: Actually, you can simply use the Synaptic software, and in the option (or depot) select the repos you want and from where. It is all automatic [08:49] nvidia rules!!! [08:49] what will be a easy language to develop a small software for ubuntu? and how much effort/knowledge it will take? [08:49] debasys, u need to know C+ [08:50] i hate ati, and realy like nvidia [08:50] what would it look like? i am having trouble getting the text over to this computer for pasting [08:50] yes DrRealHouse but those pacakages are old sometimes 3 versions or more down [08:50] Uplink: oh [08:50] debasys, perl is also wildly used [08:50] Uplink: anything easier [08:50] That is normal, a repos is never up to date with the latest version from the project site. [08:50] Uplink: last time i saw c++ i thought it was difficult [08:50] debasys, stuff are easy, its just how u make them [08:50] uplink: there are no broadcom drivers there...just a measly nvidia one [08:51] cypha, should be there... [08:51] cypha whats your issue [08:51] cypha, are u using that PC? [08:51] yes [08:51] Uplink: and normally how people approach a problem, like how do u know how-to-proceed ? [08:51] exot: open a terminal and execute : sudo displayconfig-gtk [08:51] debasys: python [08:51] cypha, updated? [08:51] X3, i can't get wireless to work...and network manager doesn't even show wireless as an option [08:51] wols_: will it be easier than c or c++ [08:51] uplink, yeah, i have all the latest updates i believe [08:51] what card have you got [08:51] cypha, ok lets start with iwconfig [08:52] k [08:52] no wireless extensions for lo and eth0 [08:52] X3: For latest and greatest, you can have a look on launchpad or www.getdeb.net... [08:52] X3 .. cyphia got a bcm43xx [08:52] wols_: i want to make a small software for personal use, [08:52] ok now try "ifconfig -a" [08:52] drrealhouse that site is well know thx [08:52] u should see something else than lo and eth0 [08:52] exot: it will ask you your password and start the screen configuration tool [08:52] http://pastebin.com/d3f931da5 [08:53] uplink [08:53] DrRealHouse, yeah .. that what I was saying it gives 800x600 for max [08:53] bcm43xx what is that who makes it [08:53] broadcom [08:53] DrRealHouse, there another thing for configuration ? [08:53] cypha, ok your card is not being picked up for some reason [08:53] exot: change the plug n play for the LCD (your own resolution) [08:54] i'm at your whim uplink [08:54] ok cypha, we gonna go over the blacklisted drivers... ready? [08:54] sure [08:54] exot: You need to change your screen model first... then we will be able to change your resolution. [08:54] DrRealHouse, I added it, and made a test, but it failed [08:54] i did some "blacklist" something before...not sure what it meant, but it was in 1 of the 12 things i followed [08:55] exot: what did you select? [08:55] Uplink, http://paste.ubuntu.com/29876/ [08:55] a braocom wifi card on PC [08:55] hey i am running hardy and my sound was working till yesterday. now it is showing no sound card. i was unable to change the volume using audacious so i was mucking around with module-assitant etc. now i don't know how to get it back.

You're better off replacing them if you can. [08:56] lemme have a look at your card [08:56] uplink, i don't have a program pastebinit installed [08:57] should i sudo apt get it? [08:57] cypha, its useful :) [08:57] My xorg.conf is failing to load and so X is using a failsafe version. unfortunately this overwrites the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file so I can't see what's going wrong with my original config [08:57] any suggestions?

[09:12] by the way, i think i have the 32 bit driver and the 64 bit driver installed [09:12] theyre pretty equal i seen some benchmarks [09:12] I am using xchat and i cant see the user list here. I want to see the list of user here. how can i do this. [09:12] Hyperviolet, yes [09:12] not to mention b3-fwcutter and ndiswrapper [09:12] Hyperviolet: Maybe something with "restricted drivers"? I think in older versions It was called like that... [09:12] cypha, iwconfig [09:12] Hyperviolet, try turning off UAC [09:12] ok only one item there which is for my video card [09:12] no wireless extensions for lo and wlan0 [09:12] at least it says wlan0 instead of eth0 though this time [09:12] ! [09:13] uplink [09:13] openg, ctrl+f7 [09:13] cypha, im on it bro chill [09:13] Hyperviolet: Are you connected to a wired network?

[09:14] k [09:14] i've read people doing it successfully on the forums [09:14] and followed those directions [09:14] krajan: Google for "TrueCrypt" [09:14] That's not bad! [09:15] Hyperviolet, and? [09:15] sbllaudelle thx [09:15] np [09:15] and this is the result, right now [09:15] Getting the Broadcom in my former housemates Lenovo 3000 was relatively easy but we had a wired network to fall back on [09:15] you can mix and match 32 with 64 bit [09:15] in regards to the actual drivers [09:15] that's not a problem [09:15] good to know [09:15] vice-a-versa [09:15] cuz i think i did that [09:15] hey [09:15] cypha, lspci | pastebinit [09:16] :) [09:16] Distrojockey i am talking about something like ctrl U [09:16] but moved to the left [09:16] http://pastebin.com/f66e6fd37 [09:16] uplink [09:16] i mean right [09:16] Hyperviolet, we gonna have to use ndiswrapper [09:16] another question i have [09:16] in firefox when i click on a link it opens a another firefox browser. I want to use it on the same browser and just switch it by click on the top to choose one. [09:17] openg, see the View menu. Mine says : User List Ctrl+F7 [09:17] cypha: you got any temp sensors? [09:17] cypha, omg... BCM4328 [09:17] etho01, don't know what that is [09:17] Uplink, that's what i did [09:17] oh, temperature [09:17] yes [09:17] ndiswrapper [09:17] probably [09:17] Uplink: calm down [09:17] uplink, what's wrong with that model? [09:17] cypha: are they working properly? [09:17] I dont have view menu [09:18] When it comes to wireless, I wish for two things: That people would give up this notion that it's any kind of replacement for wired networking and that when configuring it, *always* have the machine near a wired connection for fallback. [09:18] i dunno, why eth01? [09:18] cypha: has crap LAN legacy fyi [09:18] openg, check the Preferences for Tabs in Firefox [09:18] LSD|Ninja: I second that last part at least [09:18] cypha: no reason [09:18] eth01, im always calm down =] [09:19] in edit preferences, go to tabs, and click New Tab, under "new pages should be opened in" [09:19] so what next uplink? [09:19] does my model number bother you? [09:19] looking cypha [09:19] anybody know how to get a geforce 8800GT video card recognized running ubuntu under osx/parallels? [09:20] cypha, perhaps not [09:20] openg, then you don't have xchat you have xchat-gnome [09:20] oh ok [09:20] taq: does Parallels have any kind of acceleration mode? [09:20] that why then [09:20] openg, most likely, yep [09:20] cypha, lspci -v | pastebinit [09:20] ay^_: using wireless where it's practical to run cables is retarded [09:20] LSD|Ninja: not sure, i'll check [09:21] Hyperviolet, did u try this? http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=593686 [09:21] LSD|Ninja: well running cables wheres its unpractical is too [09:21] hello [09:21] guys this is probably the wrong place to ask, but does anyone know anything about multithreaded socket programming c++ in linux? [09:21] anyone here installed vmware-server on ubuntu? [09:21] Uplink, yes.. that's how i got the drivers installed in the first place [09:21] ndiswrapper -i ../WG111/WG111v3.inf [09:22] anyone successfully run linux on a laptop and can recommend a brand/model that actually works? [09:22] ionstorm66: Yes, some time ago... [09:22] varunn, yep, wrong place :) [09:22] Vooloo: I would recommend Acer or HP , stay away from Dell. [09:22] sbillaudelle: 64 or 32bit [09:22] ? [09:22] did Ubuntu back up my old xorg.conf when I upgraded from Gutsty to Hardy? [09:22] Hyperviolet, im not quite familiar with ndiswrapper... never liked it [09:22] Vooloo: IBM/Lenove [09:22] Vooloo: well my dell inspiron 1525 works pretty well out of the box [09:22] ionsrtom: 32Bit.. [09:23] FibonacciGold: Even though Dell sell machines with Linux that are guaranteed wot work? :P [09:23] yeah it was a pain, but it ended up doing everything without error [09:23] so i assumed that means it worked [09:23] ok thanks for the help [09:23] cos i can see the wireless adapter now [09:23] it just won't connect [09:23] uplink: http://pastebin.com/d14b34500 [09:23] LSD|Ninja: Yes, even though. Dell's are built to work for 2-3 years, I feel there are issues past the guarantee time. [09:23] Hyperviolet, where in the "no connect" you stuck? [09:23] How many packages are there in Ubuntu's repos? [09:24] ay^_: and you recommend it? [09:24] lets hope this one lasts for more than 3 years, I'll need it for studying in the next 4 years [09:24] well i mean i can see the adapter, configure it, but when i try to use google nothing happens [09:24] cypha, i got an HP laptop too... with almost the same wireless adapter... i dont see the problem... :/ [09:24] and i can't connect to my router or anything outside of my own computer [09:24] uplink, which model? [09:24] can anyone tell me after I upgraded to 8.04 my computer has become to slow and often times out [09:24] Vooloo: I do actually, the only thing that bothers me is the fact that the sound is a bit too low compaired to the sound in vista [09:24] cypha, Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 [AirForce 54g] 802.11a/b/g PCI Express Transceiver (rev 02) [09:25] no, i mean which model hp? [09:25] Vooloo: just get the intel wireless [09:25] HP Pavilion dv5139us [09:25] oh k [09:25] sbillaudelle: what model? [09:25] uplink, could the solutions i tried before have messed it up? [09:25] ay^_: so you can't listen to music? [09:25] can anybody help me with this... http://www.grabup.com/uploads/7f689fb046b041af9437a6d8472b9fd0.png [09:25] with b43-fwcutter and ndiswrapper? [09:26] Vooloo: i can, but the sound wont go up as much as I would want it to [09:26] cypha, probably... because i was in your place when gutsy was out... and 6.10... i was miserable trying to get my wi-fi working [09:26] Aside from the wireless (which was correctable by compiling a newer version of madwifi but I didn't want to bother with that nonsense), my MacBook ran Gutsy fairly well for the few hours I had it on there [09:26] Uplink, in the earlier stages of hardy, there was an issue of ndiswrapper, fsb ... messing up . .you got to rmmode them.. then load them .. just a thought [09:26] uplink, can i pm you for a moment? [09:26] Vooloo: I tend to have the sound volume up to the max all the time, and that doesn't sound too loud [09:26] Hi, is it possible to change the nautilus icon for a certain file type ? [09:26] I've got an IBM Thinkpad T40... But it's quite old... A friend of mine just bought an R60... Everything works out of the box! [09:26] I was thinking apple pro, but they are a bit expensive [09:27] cypha, i upgrated to hardy 8.04 and out of the box it told me if i wanted to use and download the firmware on the restricted drivers [09:27] lenovo makes solid machines [09:27] real nice [09:27] damn, it didn't ask me that [09:27] Raheem, thats why i dont like ndiswrapper [09:27] ibm owns lenovo? [09:27] uplink, can i pm you? [09:27] Vooloo: oter way around [09:27] Uplink, i had gone through this before .. but, fortunately, i am ok now .. [09:27] go for it [09:27] Raheem, same here... and loving it [09:27] lol [09:27] Vooloo: IBM sold their PC division to Lenovo 4-5 years ago [09:27] ndiswrapper was the only way to get my particular USB adapter to work [09:27] ah [09:28] Vooloo: depends where you are. Here, there's only about AUD$100 between the top spec T61p and the base 15" MacBook Pro [09:28] Vooloo, yeah ibm owns lenovo [09:28] Vooloo: tho out of the box the sound is almost too low so you'll have to tweak your /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [09:28] er [09:28] vice versa [09:28] LSD|Ninja: I mean if you compare apple to like sony laptop the price is great [09:28] fujitsu makes great laptops as well [09:28] Guys, im having some probs with cairo dock. for some reason it wont start up for me, ive installed both deb packages and its in my app window but when i try to launch it. nothing ive read several guides and honstly i dont know whats wrong , ive reinstalled it several times aswell. any ideas?P [09:28] the lifebook is solid [09:29] much underrated [09:29] The MacBook non-Pro is one of the cheaper machines in the 12-14" category here too [09:29] Yeah... Sound was a little bit to low... [09:29] i have a macbook standard [09:29] it's awesome [09:29] no issues at all [09:30] anything below 15" is to small to work with graphics [09:30] yo yo yo [09:30] At first, I wasn't sure I was going to like the 13" machine but now anything bigger is just too big [09:31] LSD|Ninja: a 13" system case? [09:31] when does 8.10 comes out? [09:31] In October;-) [09:32] ty [09:32] Uplink: the clue is in the number [09:32] 10/2008 [09:32] That's what the 10 means ;) [09:32] yea cypha, in October [09:32] 3 months [09:32] yeah [09:32] not doing that [09:32] lol ok, go download that hardy [09:32] Uplink: If you want to see what linux was like *before* Ubuntu then you can update now :P [09:32] 32 BIT** [09:32] oof stupid wireless USB adapter [09:33] LSD|Ninja, no ty [09:33] Guys, im having some probs with cairo dock. for some reason it wont start up for me, ive installed both deb packages and its in my app window but when i try to launch it. nothing ive read several guides and honstly i dont know whats wrong , ive reinstalled it several times aswell. any ideas?P [09:33] LSD|Ninja: I found Linux fine before Ubuntu [09:33] XazzzaX: Any console output? [09:34] XazzzaX: does it run with gksudo (just to test) [09:34] How do i find that out action? [09:34] <-----Huge noob [09:35] XazzzaX: just type gksudo before the application you normally run [09:35] Just call 'gksudo cairo-dock' [09:35] XazzzaX: you can also autocomplete names in irc ;) [09:35] ActionParsnip: you found constant breakage, instability and inconsistency fine? :P [09:35] ay^_: is the battery good? I think that is the most important :P [09:35] XazzzaX: I put your name at the start so you know im addressing you [09:35] hey now, linux wasn't that terrible before ubuntu [09:35] 6-cell or 9-cell [09:35] Ahh ok [09:36] LSD|Ninja: Ive had very few issues in mandrake 7 [09:36] It dosent say anything [09:36] remember when redhat was like the new AOL [09:36] I mean, it's all still there in Ubuntu - they just hide it better :P [09:36] everyone was using it === Paijo_paimin is now known as co [09:36] until ubuntu came along, redhat was the easiest to setup [09:36] XazzzaX: Hm... How do you start it? [09:36] Hyperviolet: i didnt like redhat. I tried 6 but went back to mandrake [09:36] heh, you only had to sneeze to cause something to crash in Mandrake [09:36] yeah redhat was lame.. [09:37] i was a debian dude [09:37] I click it thy mu applications systemtools window in my ubuntu start menu [09:37] i guess you could call it :P [09:37] hah [09:37] but i found no use for it later because i quit IT altogether and went into design [09:37] I tried mandrake, and then realised it was built for pentiums only [09:37] XazzzaX: right click the item -> properties [09:37] why the hell can't I deselect vista for my dell? ;[ [09:37] XazzzaX: Just open a terminal... And type 'cairo-dock' [09:37] cue much swearing [09:37] gordonjcp: Yeah, it started out as a pentium optimised version of red hat [09:37] gordonjcp: why swearing? [09:37] slackware was always awesome too [09:38] ok done that [09:38] XazzzaX: try tab completing the command [09:38] ActionParsnip: because it hosed my system [09:38] can i ask a question also? [09:38] gordonjcp: didnt have any issues. In fact, its still standing now [09:38] Slackware is awesome in that it sticks to its principles despite pressue from everywhere to move forward but it's really from an era long past [09:38] Hyperviolet slackware is still cool. I run it as a router and ubuntu server as my servers [09:38] sunschool, of course you can.-) [09:38] tyvm [09:39] ahh longevity [09:39] LSD|Ninja I don't think so at all. the long past [09:39] ok when i typed cairo dock i got a error line saying it cant laod libraries [09:39] ActionParsnip: I'm guessing you were using a pentium-class cpu? [09:39] how would i add a new ext3 partion to mount on boot/ [09:39] !help [09:39] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [09:39] !gnome [09:39] gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop. [09:39] gordonjcp: amd athlon k7 (one before thunderbird) 750Mhz [09:39] ActionParsnip: how do you mean tab it? [09:39] how do I know whats going on when I upgraded my computer from 6.06 to 8.04 and it is now slow and times out alot [09:39] XazzzaX: type half a command and press tab [09:40] in the propertise window ? [09:40] sunschool, what times out alot? [09:40] sunschool: 8.04 is an LTS, what you're experiencing is normal. It'll be fine in time for the next LTS, wait and see [09:40] i guess my problem is complicated :( [09:40] ActionParsnip: in 1998 I was using a 486-DX120 [09:40] XazzzaX: no, that only gives you the command you need to run from command line to run the same app [09:40] sunschool, you can type 'top' in a terminal... [09:40] PanzerMKZ: http://bandcamp.tv/linux-demotivators/slackware.jpg <- funny because it's true [09:40] erm, im totaly lost now mate. [09:40] when i try to browse the web [09:40] gordonjcp: I have one of those around the place [09:40] how would i add a new ext3 partion to mount on boot [09:41] XazzzaX, If you type the first letters of a command you can press 'tab' to aoutocomplete it... [09:41] XazzzaX: ok, the menu thing you have essentially gives you a pretty thing to click to run your apps [09:41] ActionParsnip: I think I gave it to someone to run a firewall on, not sure what happened to it [09:41] are we in the terminal now [09:41] or the propetise window [09:41] I still have the 386SX-16 that I first ran Linux on [09:41] grub throws error 17 (can't mount) [09:41] the one that comes out in october? [09:41] sunschool, sounds like a misconfigured /etc/hosts file to me so far [09:41] XazzzaX: you can do exactly the same thing from command line, you can do everything at cli that you can do in gui [09:41] man the dell inspiron seemed nice until I read about the sound issues.. why cant they just make stuff work [09:41] XazzzaX, In the terminal... [09:42] right ok [09:42] XazzzaX: if you want to launch an app with admin privs you'll need gksudo [09:42] i've got 320GB dish with system and RAID matrix next to it [09:42] disk* [09:42] dell is synonymous with FAIL [09:42] but grub fails [09:42] XazzzaX: so you find out the program to run then type it out but put gksudo at the start [09:42] I upgraded from the internet [09:42] Hyperviolet: Ah, that explains why they're shipping system with Linux preinstalled :P [09:42] sunschool, can you please pastebin /etc/hosts ? [09:42] that doesn't make the hardware any good [09:43] that just means they are catering [09:43] nope still nothing [09:43] I'm sorry what do you mean [09:43] sunschool, the following should do the job: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/hosts | pastebinit [09:43] LSD|Ninja: laptops? [09:43] XazzzaX, please open a terminal... [09:43] XazzzaX: ok any output? [09:43] ive done that [09:43] Then type 'sudo cairo-dock' [09:44] nope nothing, same as before just a new command line and nothing else [09:44] in the terminal [09:44] sunschool, yep [09:44] sbillaudelle: its gksudo as its a gui app [09:44] Hm... [09:44] when i do that [09:44] i get a error line [09:44] Vooloo: I believe so. They don't sell them here and I really don't care about buying a system with Linux pre-installed so other than knowing they sell them, I can't say much else [09:44] sbillaudelle: please dont advise users to use sudo with gui apps [09:44] cairo-dock: error while loading shared libraries: libglitz-glx.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [09:44] the one in applications [09:44] ActionParsnip, but from console I prefer sudo;-) [09:44] sunschool, yep, that will do fine [09:45] LSD|Ninja: pre-install might indicate that the shit actually works.. of course you reinstall ;) [09:45] sbillaudelle: for console apps yes use sudo, for gui apps use gksudo [09:45] XazzzaX: you need that library [09:45] ok i will try and get back to let you know and i thank you [09:45] Ahh ok, ill check syn if i cant find it then :) [09:45] Thanks a million guys <3 [09:45] ok so.. wireless USB fixes? :D [09:45] ActionParsnip, gksu is better to use rather than gksudo actually [09:45] ActionParsnip, Ok... sorry... I was doing it this was since I was born... [09:46] sbillaudelle: sudo soesnt set up the enviroment properly and can harm permissions and ownership [09:46] DistroJockey: how are they different? [09:46] sunschool, no problem, paste the link you get here when it's done [09:46] ActionParsnip, see man gksu [09:46] Hmm now ive reinstalled them and i get the same error :( [09:47] XazzzaX: try sudo apt-get install libglitz [09:47] DistroJockey: I use kde [09:47] DistroJockey: googling instead :) [09:47] if some drive is seen as hdb, for grub it's hd1, ye? [09:47] says it cant find the package [09:47] ActionParsnip, Outch! Thank you very much! [09:47] XazzzaX: try tab completing it :D [09:48] ActionParsnip, ahh. Well: "gksu is a frontend to su and gksudo is a frontend to sudo.Also notice that the library will decide if it should use su or sudo as backend using the /apps/gksu/sudo-mode gconf key, if you call the gksu command. You can force the backend by using the gksudo command ..." [09:48] Traditionnally, gksu is just a graphical su and gksudo a graphical sudo [09:48] ActionParsnip, note the "force" part [09:49] traditionally [09:49] ok so.. my problem is unsolvable haha [09:49] ahh i see, Im guessing thats the same as kdesu / kdesudo [09:49] Does anyone know the reason why they replaced traceroute with tracepath. [09:49] It just told me that i had the latest version [09:49] ss0: i thought it was tracert [09:50] in windows it's tracert [09:50] yeah, they seem to have aliased the command to tracert, like windows, WHY ugh.

[10:17] and line 10 is /dev/sda2 /var/lib/vmware/Virtual\ Machines ext3 defaults 0 0 [10:17] Hyperviolet: no, as you dont have the key [10:17] right ok [10:17] ubunto only allows me two types of keys === _tom is now known as shoot^ [10:18] WEP (ascii) and WEP (hex) [10:18] I found a page that will install my wireless card, but I'm about to reinstall and wont have interent to do the apt-get commands. Is there a way I can get all that stuff before I reinstall??? [10:18] if i have a long key, i am assuming this means it is hex? [10:18] Hyperviolet: Be carefull with the network-manager, as using WEP you can xhoose, if you want to enter the key in HEX or in ASCII. That changes a lot... ;) [10:19] Hyperviolet: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ [10:19] are you saying i shouldn't use the GUI ? [10:19] Hyperviolet: the top bits of code are all you really need [10:19] Hyperviolet: im suggesting you dont have to, thats all [10:20] question : typing su in terminal prompts u for a password. what happens if i dun have that password [10:20] ok, understood [10:20] Hyperviolet: If you use the GUI, verify that you choose the right option... [10:20] can anyone help wit grub problem [10:20] Lamerion: then you wont get promoted, you dont need to use su. Just use sudo or gksu [10:20] Or you can look at WiFi-radar [10:21] just set the driver entry as wext [10:21] ugh.. but i need to get to usr/src/local folder [10:21] >< [10:21] a you have to make spaces "\040" in fstab [10:21] can any one help with a grub problem [10:22] untraceable: DOn't ask if you can ask a question... Just ask the question ... [10:22] untraceable, what is the problem [10:23] ok i installed ubuntu on a thumb drive and without that thumb drive inserted i cant boot into windows or any other OS on hard drive [10:23] fwaokda, got disconnected :( [10:24] folk i accidently hit spacebar inside the alsamixer settings and now aux is set on capture.. how do i "uncapture" [10:24] DistroJockey, oh were you talking to me ha didn't notice :O [10:24] fwaokda, lol. Glad I didn't miss a reply then :) [10:24] Lamerion: you can cd to the source file as yourself [10:24] DistroJockey, haha [10:25] hey there. I've got a problem with my wifi. its not working on my acer laptop [10:25] DistroJockey, so is there a way I can do it? [10:25] fwaokda, you see what I said at all? [10:25] oh true.. thx [10:25] fwaokda, get on the current install and copy if from /var/cache/apt/archives to the same place on the clean install [10:25] fwaokda, or copy the whole /var/cache/apt/archives if you like [10:25] untraceable: So I guess you have to change your BIOS Options. [10:25] Lamerion: if you need power, use gksu or sudo, you dont need su [10:26] nods... [10:26] DistroJockey, oh ok - sweet thanks [10:26] Hey any one know a good portable multi os X11 server [10:26] fwaokda, you're welcome [10:26] i previously had xp and backtrack2 dual set up now without that thumb drive i cant boot those two i waant it normal again [10:26] untraceable: The boot order for example. Looks like the 'thum drive' has priority over the HArddisk === dom is now known as rockstarrem [10:27] so if i put the hdd first it wont have to have grub to boot OS on hdd [10:27] vmware is much nicer than qrmu [10:27] qemu [10:28] untraceable: oups my error. forget what I said. Can you pastebin your [10:28] I_Am: ive used virtualbox briefly [10:28] untraceable: /boot/grub/menu.list === robert__ is now known as Guest70847 [10:28] ActionParsnip: its is alot nicer than qemu [10:29] running xp have no internet on ubuntu currently [10:29] ActionParsnip: basic things like running a lice cd are much simpler [10:29] debian [10:29] I_Am: qemu has native cpu access too rather than an emulated cpu [10:30] depends what you need, if you like it then cool [10:30] ActionParsnip: plus vm-ware is almost faster than native [10:30] Hey any one know a good portable multi os X11 server [10:30] xp pro installed from iso in under 5 min [10:30] I_Am: how can a vitual cpu go faster than the host cpu? [10:30] untraceable: When you boot, can you access the grub menu by pressing 'esc'? [10:31] ActionParsnip: io is faster iva iso mount [10:31] minimec: havent tried but ill give it a shot real quick be back [10:31] untraceable: ok [10:32] I_Am: well yeah but i can put any OS cd on a disk and install just as fast. Thats comparing CD access times to ISO mounts, Thats not a VMWare specific feature [10:33] DistroJockey (sorry for being late), before pasting the menu.lst; i must say that i have two menu.lst files in both ubuntus on partitions, (yes i'm an idiot). [10:33] seems ubuntu's pidgin just sets some urgent hint, instead of raising the contact list when i click the tray icon [10:34] is there any application in ubuntu, which recognizes the words in a scanned document and automatically copy pastes it to a open office writer? [10:34] despite that this is wrong since 1) urgency hints are not for user triggered actions 2) urgency hints only work when you use the task list applet... [10:34] ...how do i disable this behavior (without patching the code) [10:34] ActionParsnip: the fact that i downloaded the whole os from vmware is though [10:35] i have some laptop graphic card that seems to be ati rage 32 mb... using Mesa DRI for it... does it support FSAA? cause right now i see value 0x [10:35] ActionParsnip: ready to go out og the box [10:36] DistroJockey (sorry for being late), before pasting the menu.lst; i must say that i have two menu.lst files in both ubuntus on partitions, (yes i'm an idiot). [10:36] I_Am: out of the box? === alain is now known as Guest78275 [10:37] s_spiff: what you're looking for is called optical character recognition, or OCR. There is a program in the repos called gocr, and one that I think you have to download from elsewhere, called tesseract. === robert__ is now known as Guest53630 [10:37] soundray: thanks soo much! will check it out. [10:37] ActionParsnip: just download, open,tell it where to install to, and type in my windows 2k cdkey and its ready to go [10:38] Hello [10:38] s_spiff: at the moment, both of them require some reading of docs and experimenting before you get reasonable results [10:38] Hi people [10:38] I_Am: Id just dual boot, but i dont use winslows so I dont have any necessity for it [10:38] soundray: will check them out, see if it works. [10:38] s_spiff: I'm just seeing that tesseract is in the hardy repositories [10:38] anyone doing database development in ubuntu? [10:39] I_Am: or any other OS [10:39] !info tesseract-ocr > s_spiff [10:39] s_spiff, please see my private message [10:39] !info gocr > s_spiff [10:39] anyone doing database development in ubuntu? [10:39] ActionParsnip: ubuntu is one there also , pebuilt with vm support [10:40] I_Am: we use it where I work. We have VM servers running redhat with 9 client systems running SQL [10:40] gedit can't edit file with ROOT premession, how can i change taht? [10:40] alimoe: just say what the problem is [10:40] alimoe:sdds [10:40] bomba: gksu gedit [10:40] ActionParsnip: i use it for win 2k programs that dont work unber wine [10:40] software for database development [10:40] I_Am: no open alternatives? [10:40] ActionParsnip, just this way? [10:40] ActionParsnip: i had to use paralles when i ran winxp and vista [10:41] minimec: esc dosent work but e gibes me four options [10:41] bomba: yes thats all you need, you'll type your pass and you can edit it all you want [10:41] bomba: id make a backup first before ditting so you can roll back if you mess up [10:41] alimoe: are you looking for a database management system? mysql and postgresql are among the popular ones [10:41] ActionParsnip: its is a ancient inventory database [10:42] thnx soundray [10:42] I_Am: ah, suprised it doesnt wine [10:42] ActionParsnip, but can i change that in G Conf? [10:42] bomba: sudo chmod 777 'yourfile' could help. with that command you give read/write access to evryone... [10:42] bomba: change what? [10:42] ActionParsnip: really really old [10:42] I_Am: really old usually works, but if it doesnt I guess you gots no choice [10:42] ActionParsnip, that i can edit direct witt gksu nautilus [10:42] ActionParsnip: the win 2k program is an emulator to some old os [10:42] minimec, that is no way [10:43] bomba: I wouldnt. Only gksu what you need to [10:43] bomba: means you can potentially break less [10:44] i put Option "Coolbits" "1″ in xorg.config under "device" but i still see no coolbits option in nvidia-settings [10:44] any suggestions? [10:44] ActionParsnip, i browser the folder with gksu nautilus and well edit direct all the file has opened with gedit [10:44] untraceable: To understand your problem. You have a dual-boot system and a USB-stick. When the stick is plugged, you can also start all OS. Without stick you cannot boot anything... Is that correct? [10:44] Hey, can some in short tell me when universe package's gets updated? (I am looking at hobbit 4.2.0.dfsg-10 vs 4.2.0.dfsg-13 in Debian) [10:44] i was trying to avoid having to use nvclock, since overclocking is now supported in the nvidia drivers [10:44] untraceable: it would seam you installed grub on your usb drive XD [10:45] can i use hspa huawei e270 in ubuntu? [10:45] untraceable: ive done this before ~_~ [10:45] nobody? rawr [10:45] bomba: you could but its not advised [10:45] hmmm... HD4870 x2 its a nice stuff... [10:45] linuxfce: http://aldeby.org/blog/index.php/enable-nvidia-coolbits-frequency-tuner.html [10:46] no have a dual boot on hdd and ubuntu on stick, comp uses grub as booter weather stick is in or not, if not no grub means no boot [10:46] linuxfce: "1″? try "1" [10:46] untraceable: I give you this link... Supergrub allows you to create a new grub menu list. Quiet a good tool. http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ [10:46] ActionParsnip, thanx ican do that in debian but in ubuntu not [10:46] * ActionParsnip irons supergrub's cape [10:47] bomba: id gksu gedit then file -> open [10:47] can i use hspa huawei e270 in ubuntu? [10:47] untraceable: kgrubeditor [10:47] I know what & does after a command prompt but what does %u do? [10:47] untraceable: you can get it via the package manager in ubuntu [10:47] ActionParsnip, u r right [10:47] alimoe: http://samiux.wordpress.com/2008/04/18/huawei-e270-netvigator-on-ubuntu-804/ [10:47] that is best way [10:48] thanx [10:48] what package do I need to unzip a .zip file ? [10:48] bomba: gksu for gui apps, sudo for cli commands [10:48] alimoe: please don't repeat so quickly -- leave some time. It's supported in principle -- there is a driver which will make it accessible via USB serial devices (/dev/ttyUSB0). People report mixed successes on ubuntuforums. [10:48] iopk: ark === robert__ is now known as Guest67127 [10:48] alimoe: at least the huawei e220 is working aout of the box. [10:48] ActionParsnip, i know that tahnx [10:48] iopk: or zip for cli [10:48] i just want grub to be used for stick, how can i get rid of it for hdd [10:49] how do i get the driver soundray? [10:49] alimoe: it should be part of the stock Ubuntu kernel [10:49] alimoe: thats probably in Wiondows, yes? [10:50] actionparsnip that tells me to put it in section "screen", i may have had it in the wrong place i will reboot now [10:50] How do you turn off pulseaudio in Hardy? [10:50] hi kahrytan [10:50] alimoe: run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog', then plug the device in and watch the messages [10:50] ActionParsnip» long time [10:50] ok [10:50] i just want grub to be used for stick, how can i get rid of it for hdd [10:51] untraceable: how do you mean? [10:52] I need some serious help here. [10:52] !ask | bartleby [10:52] anyone from the US [10:52] well its used to boot everything, dont want it to be used to boot my hdd just for the thumb drive [10:53] bartleby: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [10:53] i'm having problems with adaptec RAID controller [10:53] dunno how to install drivers [10:53] untraceable: what do you want to see when you boot without the USB drive? [10:54] now i have an overclocking section in nvidia-settings, but when i hit apply, the clocks go right back to normal [10:54] linuxfce: did you run nvidia-settings with gksu? [10:54] maybe i should install the drivers from nvidia.com, rather than repository? [10:54] the lilo boot screen with the two options for xp and backtrack2 [10:54] i used apt [10:55] how do I delete files, its 48.000 files in one directory. I get this for "rm *" bash: /bin/rm: Argument list too long [10:55] I can't do rm -rf * because there is a subdir I dont want to remove [10:55] vooloo rm -rf /dir [10:55] linuxfce: I would recommend you stick with the driver that you have if it's working in principle. [10:56] oh lol i didnt finish reading that vooloo sorry [10:56] vooloo thats a good question, hacky solution, but i'd just copy the subdir somewhere else [10:56] vooloo, since you cant have a dir inside of a nonexisting dir anyway [10:57] hi there, I'm upgrading a laptop from 7.10 to 8.04 LTS and I got stuck "Generating locales..." exactly "en_AU.UTF-8", it's been there for more than a hour and doesn't seem to go on. What should I do now? [10:57] then recreate it if you want it there? i dont know the efficient way to do that [10:57] soundray: i want to see the lilo boot screen that i had set up [10:57] linuxfce: NEVER tell anyone to do that man, people really screw systems with that command [10:57] soundray, yeah this driver seems to be working ok, but i really want to oc this for compiz fusion [10:57] ok actionparsnip [10:58] linuxfce: perhaps your overclocking settings are too aggressive? I suppose the driver defines an acceptable range [10:58] what is gksu and how to i use it? [10:58] i dont think so soundray, those clocks run very stable on winblows [10:58] linuxfce: it runs graphical programs with administrative privileges. [10:58] linuxfce: it gives you root power to gui apps and sets up the environment properly [10:59] How do i configure network? [10:59] oh, well i did sudo? [10:59] linuxfce: yes, but the Linux driver is different [10:59] is there any way to jump the locales from the upgrading? [10:59] gksu is like sudo but for gui apps [10:59] !gksu | linuxfce [10:59] linuxfce: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [10:59] soundray i will test incrimenting one integer then [10:59] linuxfce: you need to gksu as it will use the correct environment [10:59] in /etc/network/interfaces I have only these: [10:59] auto lo [10:59] soundray same result [10:59] iface lo inet loopback [10:59] Hello, all [10:59] ok actionparsnip i will try that [11:00] actionparsnip same result [11:00] i had this problem in windows before and it was the driver itself that didnt support the function [11:00] linuxfce: in the case of nvidia-settings, sudo or gksu won't make a difference. Still, it's a good habit to use gksu whenever your program is graphical [11:00] linuxfce: so the changes dont stick? [11:00] yeah as soon as i hit apply settings are reverted to default [11:01] also i get an error when trying to set the clocks manually in terminal [11:01] soundray: you can damage file ownership and permissions if you use sudo with gui apps [11:01] maybe you card is locked [11:01] i set the hdd as top o list in boot order and it still uses grub for everything [11:01] I'm in a critical situation, please. The 8.04 updgrading got stuck, how can I cancel? [11:01] ActionParsnip: I know -- did you see me calling up the factoid? [11:01] soundray i think youre on to something, because it lets me underclock! [11:01] When I compile kernel source, It occurs "Install ncurses (ncurses-devel) and try again.". But when I try to get "ncurses-devel" with apt-get, It says that ncurses-devel nonexist. [11:01] soundray: sorry, my bad [11:01] i am able to under clock as far as i like [11:02] how frustrating [11:02] Vooloo: has it worked now? [11:02] linuxfce: interesting [11:02] what name shoud I use to fetch "ncurses-devel"? [11:02] I had to copy out the directory, delete and copy back... can't do this all the time so gotta get this system changed [11:02] fqh: sudo apt-get install ncurses-devel [11:02] so its looking like it is infact restriction, that or for some odd reason the driver only supports underclock? i highly doubt that [11:03] linuxfce: make a backup before you install drivers not supported by Ubuntu [11:03] or maybe its just a bug [11:03] Hey guys. I was wondering if it is possible to make a file executable for one or more specified users (but not all users). [11:03] linuxfce: go forth and websearch [11:03] do you now a proc named localedef?? [11:03] tphilosopher: you could make a group and add the authorised users to it [11:03] tphilosopher: then make that group the owner [11:03] emesene has been updated ! when will the update come ? [11:03] morgen [11:03] Vooloo: the other way to go about this is to rm subsets of the files in that directory, so you stay under 32768 arguments (I believe that's the limit) [11:04] i surch the ubuntu hdd install script [11:04] Testral: ubiquity? [11:04] soundray: what? [11:04] soundray: yeah but its kinda hard when all the files are named in md5sum format [11:04] ActionParsnip: Unfortunately, it is my intention to do this with many executables, and creating a large number of groups would just create a big mess ;) [11:04] soundray: or can you tell rm to delete 10k files per batch? [11:05] finally got my wireless internet working, i'm so happy :-D [11:05] Testral: that's the name of the Ubuntu installer when you run it off the live CD [11:05] sry my english is very bad [11:05] soundray: okay, thanks, can give me that? [11:05] Lokking for some to explain how Ubuntu universe (packages) updates from Debian! [11:06] i'm having problems installing adaptec raid controller drivers under ubuntu, the thing is that they're shipped as RPMs for Fedora and RHEL, does not seem to work when installevd via alien [11:06] Vooloo: you could try 'for i in $(seq 1 99) ; do rm *$i* ; done ; rm *' [11:07] Vooloo: very dirty ;) [11:07] soundray: ?! [11:07] nooga even with alien --scripts ? [11:07] damn :p [11:07] woot?

[11:17] rommel_: I'd want to know why you chose that nick first, though [11:17] any idea why update-manager wants to download updates that apt-get says are held back? [11:17] !ccsm | genik also get 3d drivers for your card [11:17] genik also get 3d drivers for your card: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [11:17] zvacet: I don't follow. what do you mean alternate cd?

[11:19] I_Am: it appears that i will have to compile kernel with that drivers [11:19] genik, no; install simple-ccsm from synaptic or compizconfig-settings-manager [11:19] ola [11:19] genik: sudo apt-get install [11:19] loquitus_of_borg : every version have alternate cd [11:19] nooga: bumber [11:20] zvacet: No separate home... so you suggest then I do an alternative upgrade in a 3 step process or directly to hardy from edgy, using alternative cd? [11:20] loquitus_of_borg, cant do one step in your case [11:20] okay i installed simple ccsm [11:20] how do i use it [11:21] loquitus_of_borg : easier way is to make separate home and afterr that install hardy [11:21] genik: there should now be a new item in your System-Preferences menu [11:21] i must go home, bye [11:21] genik, see the bot link upthread [11:21] What if the updgrade goes on forever? [11:21] Can I upgrade to hardy without cd, using synaptic? I know it does not work as it is right now... since my synaptic package manager fails when I try to upgrade [11:21] rommel_: no question now? ;) [11:21] is there any way to updgrade, but without locale [11:21] ? [11:21] got it [11:21] zvacet: like I said... can't do separte home or reinstall... so what is my best option? [11:21] ed0n0n, why do you care about that [11:21] what are other programs i should get? [11:22] loquitus_of_borg : yes,you can upgrade with update manager but you have to make edgy up to date [11:22] !edgy [11:22] 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. [11:22] zvacet: I would love to know how to do that... really. please help me out a bit to get it there... [11:22] loquitus_of_borg : wait a sec [11:23] loquitus_of_borg: I'm generally much in favour of fresh installations -- what's stopping you from doing that? [11:23] gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list loquitus_of_borg and change all instances of edgy to feisty [11:23] zvacet: I have spent ALOT of time trying to upgrade this thing but the problem is I do not know how to resolve the issues where synaptic fails to find what it is looking for. [11:23] bazhang: I am upgrading, but localedef is going forever, and the updgrade is not finishing, when it was suppossed to be finished in ten minutes. Localedef --no-archive... takes all the CPU and never ends... What can I do to continue or stop upgrade? [11:23] soundray: I have alot of stuff installed on here and I really do not want to have to reinstall. besides it sucks to have to reinstall. this is not windows. [11:24] bazhang: not that I don't trust you, but what does that do? [11:24] how do i do that cube thing [11:24] ed0n0n, how long [11:24] genik: it's a compiz effect [11:25] bazhang: its been like this like two hours [11:25] yea i installed simple ccsm === Paijo_paimin is now known as marcopolo [11:25] thats compiz ? [11:25] genik: if you install the simple-ccsm package and enable the cube effect - thats how you do it [11:25] loquitus_of_borg : I´m looking for link [11:25] i enabled it [11:25] !cube | genik [11:25] the cube should just appear? [11:25] genik: Compiz-Fusion (and the older Compiz and Beryl) are window managers that employ the "composite" extension of X to draw windows using graphics cards' 3D hardware. They can additionally provide "desktop special effects" (such as the "cube") by means of plug-ins. Join #compiz-fusion for help and support with advanced features. See also « /msg ubotu compiz » and « /msg ubotu effects » [11:26] zvacet: that will be awesome. I'd really like to be able to upgrade this without messing with reinstalling. I'd like to hope Ubuntu has mostly figured out how to upgrade without the nonsense microsoft puts us through of complete reinstalls. [11:26] how to compile drivers with kernel and use it seamlesly [11:26] ? [11:26] nooga: what driver [11:27] buongiorno [11:27] loquitus_of_borg : in your source list replace all archive.ubuntu.com with old-releases.ubuntu.com [11:27] !upgrade > loquitus_of_borg [11:27] loquitus_of_borg, please see my private message [11:27] ikonia: for adaptec raid controller [11:27] bazhang: my locale is not supossed to be en_AU.UTF-8, I have es_EU.UTF-8. Is maybe a problem for that? [11:27] nooga: adaptec cards have drives in the kernel [11:27] hello .. can someone remind me again what is the thing that usplash / splashy reads to know how far along in the bootup it is, and hence how far the progress bar should be along? something to do with init .. [11:27] nooga: you souldn't need an external driver [11:27] ikonia: rly? [11:27] loquitus_of_borg: sorry, got cut off [11:27] nooga: sure [11:27] ikonia: cool [11:27] loquitus_of_borg : after saving and closing file sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [11:27] ed0n0n, not really, can be changed later. [11:27] klong: bootmap [11:28] bootmap .. that doesnt ring a bell .. u sure? [11:28] loquitus_of_borg: you can save your package list (see clone factoid below), and keep your old installation around if you have enough HD space [11:28] !clone | loquitus_of_borg [11:28] loquitus_of_borg: 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 [11:28] klong: for mapping out boot times, is that what you mean [11:28] bazhang: how could I "jump" this update process and continue with the rest? [11:28] hi everyone [11:28] ed0n0n, is it configuring or still downloading [11:28] loquitus_of_borg: I understand your reservations about reinstalling, but Ubuntu evolves in such a way that it's sometimes beneficial to reinstall [11:29] bazhang: it is configuring === Paijo_paimin is now known as conello [11:29] bazhang: nearly finished, it says ten minutes left [11:29] ed0n0n, let it run then [11:29] bazhang: ten minutes are already 2 hours === palmtree__ is now known as palmtree [11:30] zvacet: so I am upgrade first to feisty fawn, right? [11:30] ed0n0n, the configuring sequence is not to be lightly interrupted [11:30] ikonia, there is something that usplash can read so it knows approximately what percentage of the boot is complete and this is how it decides how far the progress bar is along [11:30] loquitus_of_borg, yes [11:30] prova [11:30] zvacet: which file is that sources you refer to (stupid question I know) [11:30] hello, I can't get sound with ubuntu on my laptop. any advice? [11:30] bazhang: it cannot be, never seen sucha long install of anything. It must be a bug [11:30] klong: no idea what that is, I thought you meant to map out your init process graphically [11:30] dizzyking, english please [11:31] loquitus_of_borg : in terminal gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and there make changes and sava and close file [11:31] loquitus_of_borg, /etc/apt/sources.list [11:31] bazhang: cool [11:31] ed0n0n: I agree -- if it's been hanging for two hours, it's probably not worth waiting any longer. Is it an update-manager process, or did you do it on the command line? [11:31] sec... [11:31] zvacet, why not change to feisty and dist-upgrade? [11:32] soundray: It is running the update-manager [11:32] what network/channel might help me with openoffice.org calc? [11:32] hello, I can't get sound with ubuntu on my laptop. any advice? [11:32] soundray: I can use the console anyway [11:32] bazhang : that is a option too but is is safe ( I saw it under unrecommend options) [11:33] is reiserfs good for setting 1400GB partition on raid? [11:33] ed0n0n: I would do a 'sudo killall update-manager', then 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' and 'sudo apt-get -f install' (repeat until you don't get any errors) [11:33] zvacet, certainly [11:33] soundray: the update is for the whole system [11:33] hello [11:33] hi mab [11:33] ed0n0n: isn't every update for the whole system? [11:33] how can i find out which router i am using ? [11:33] err msb [11:34] i want to set up ddclient [11:34] bazhang : but that doesn´t mean it doeasn´t work I jusr try to give safe instructions if I can [11:34] soundray: I mean that its the upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 [11:34] zvacet, it is perfectly safe [11:34] it was nearly finished [11:34] ed0n0n: I see. Still, that's what I would do. [11:34] lmao [11:35] I_Am, support question? [11:35] bazhang : O.K. then I never done it in that case that is better option [11:35] on Cedega's site if you order in euros its 25 euros if you order in usd its 25 usd [11:35] I_Am, please take chat elsewhere [11:36] zvacet: doing the apt-get update option... right now it is still processing but complaining about a bunch of au.old-releases.ubuntu.com and us.old-releases.ubuntu.com sites not working [11:36] soundray: I cant find any "update-manager" process [11:37] http://pastebin.com/m4efe12b [11:37] check that out folks... [11:37] ed0n0n: can you kill it with the X button on rght of the top panel? Do the force quit if it asks you to [11:37] that is my error dump when I did the apt-get update after doing the search and replace in sources [11:38] loquitus_of_borg, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and change all instances of edgy to feisty as I initially recommended [11:38] soundray: killed the locale process and now it is going on, but problems with locale, gnome-base-locale and Java related [11:39] hi, is there a working way two use two finger s rolling on a synaptic pad? [11:39] ed0n0n: see if you can resolve those with the two commands I gave you above [11:39] loquitus_of_borg : in terminal cat /etc/apt/sources.list and paste it here [11:39] bazhang: from the current sources or before I replaced all the stuff with old-releases? [11:39] <\|\|raith> hey does anyone know, is there a way to install from repositories saved on hard disk instead of cdrom or internet? ie: an iso file perhaps? [11:39] marius2: only if the hardware supports it [11:39] loquitus_of_borg, original ones [11:39] hello, I can't get sound with ubuntu on my laptop. any advice? [11:40] !sound > pulseezar [11:40] pulseezar, please see my private message [11:40] pulseezar, check alsamixer in terminal and make sure nothing is muted [11:40] zvacet: it is long. I am pasting a url to it ok? http://pastebin.com/m3f38f9ce [11:40] soundray: also problems with eclipse, ubuntu-minimal, ... Now it is finishing the updgrade, and I hope I can fix the rest after it finishes [11:40] <_gAri-> hi there, if I apt-get source the kernel source, where do I find the configuration that ubuntu uses to configure the kernel? [11:40] pulseezar: see if you can narrow down the source of the problem with the advice in the factoid [11:40] _gAri-, why would you want to do that [11:40] zvacet and bazhang: that's what it looks like after the search and replace I did based on zvacet's instructions [11:40] Hi !! I have used wine in order to emulate a program, now l' I have removed but in programs it is remained the connection like is removed? [11:41] thank you! [11:41] soundray, synaptic apds support 2 and 3 finger, out of my informations [11:41] marius2: only recent ones, according to my sources [11:41] Hi !! I have used wine in order to emulate a program, now l' I have removed but in programs it is remained the connection like is removed? [11:41] Hi folks, I got a serious problem with the nvidia drivers after upgrading to Hardy (X crashes - see http://paste.ubuntu.com/29921/). Somebody here who can assist me getting it fixed? [11:41] cr0w, dont repeat so often [11:41] \|\|raith, which iso is it? [11:41] ok [11:42] marius2: what do you mean with 2 or 3 fingers? [11:42] but you help me :D [11:42] <\|\|raith> I'm in the process of downloading iso files for a 5 dvd set of full repositories from some ftp in indonesia [11:42] izzy_, how were they initially installed [11:42] \|\|raith, http://tinyurl.com/56xqne [11:42] haha that was sos simple [11:42] look here in this (max os x) tutorial http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=88811&pid=650640&mode=threaded&start= [11:42] <\|\|raith> for 8.04 that is [11:42] thanks for the pointers! [11:43] np [11:43] how do i install wine [11:43] pulseezar: volume setting low? :) [11:43] evgeny_: sudo apt-get install wine [11:43] bazhang: Originally under feisty. I did a dist-upgrade to gutsy and then hardy. All was still fine in gutsy. [11:43] sudo apt-get install wine? [11:43] yay [11:43] \|\|raith, you'll have to mount the iso files somewhere and use a local apt repo. [11:43] evgeny_: sudo apt-get install wine [11:43] i guessed it :) [11:43] (: yeah you did [11:43] btw hi everyone (: [11:43] izzy_, you want to roll back to the gutsy install? is that it? [11:44] marius2: that document seems to support what I told you [11:44] do i need an antivirus [11:44] or firewall [11:44] bazhang - no, I want to get it fixed in hardy. [11:44] evgeny_, not really no [11:44] zvacet: did you get the pastebin for my sources? [11:44] I have used wine in order to emulate a program, now l' I have removed but in programs it is remained the connection like is removed? [11:44] what programs would u suggest? [11:44] izzy_, you want to patch a kernel for hardy? [11:44] bazhang: I am doing the apt-get update as you said... I changed all edgy to feisty [11:44] evgeny_: firewall: Have you got a Router? [11:44] soundray, yes "scrolling working on MOST laptop trackpads, Works with most ALPS and Synaptics trackpads", my trackpad is a synaptics [11:44] cr0w: if repeating doesn't help, try rephrasing [11:44] evgeny_: i'm not using an antivirus nor a firewall (: [11:45] IM GONNA HACK U MUAHAHA [11:45] bazhang: I just want to fix up the issue. Latest updates have been installed. [11:45] caps evgeny_ and offtopic [11:45] evgeny_: you do that (: [11:45] marius2: note 'most' means the same as 'not all' [11:45] lol [11:45] izzy_: can you give us a quick overview to the issue [11:45] soundray, es sure, becaus of that i ask for experiance or a good tutorial :) [11:45] oh yea how do i get KDE and gnome at the same time [11:45] loquitus_of_borg, when that is updated then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [11:46] ikonia: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/250891 [11:46] Launchpad bug 250891 in xorg "X crashes on logout - takes long to come up on boot" [Undecided,New] [11:46] <_gAri-> bazhang: because I'M interesed, I want to compile my own kernel [11:46] evgeny_: first time linux? [11:46] <_gAri-> why everybody asks me why do I want that [11:46] I posted the bug 2 days ago, but still got no response. [11:46] Yes siR [11:46] marius2: Ubuntu supported two-finger scrolling out-of-the box on my laptop [11:46] can someone tell me if there is a widescreen option, and where? my res looks fine but my login screen and top taskbar don't fill the whole screen. [11:46] <_gAri-> I want to, why is this a problem? [11:46] _gAri-, for speed increase? something like that? [11:46] bazhang: with the feisty replacement, I tried apt-get update and got the following output: http://pastebin.com/m60568f17 [11:46] soundray, ah ok [11:46] well at least i got it installed on my first day without WUbi [11:47] <_gAri-> no, to put some patches in, but I want to preserve the ubuntu way of modules and so on [11:47] evgeny_, you can't run them at the same time - but you can have both installed and choose between them at logon. [11:47] loquitus_of_borg, please pastebin the sources.list as of now to paste.ubuntu.com [11:47] ikonia: It could have to do with the upgrade not cleanly removing some conflicting packages (see the "un" in the launchpad description) [11:47] _gAri-: it's a matter of experience -- most people who *think* they need to recompile don't *actually need* to [11:47] evgeny_, to install them both, open up a terminal and run this command. sudo aptitude install ubuntu-dekstop kubuntu-dekstop [11:47] bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/29927/ === sean is now known as Guest6054 [11:48] _gAri-: to answer your question, the config of the running kernel is in /boot/config-$(uname -r) [11:48] guys I have tried to use some of the dbus scripts to rotate my cube effect from the command line but none of them seem to work any ideas if I am missing a package? [11:48] izzy_: well a few things spring to mind 1.) your using an nvidia binary driver as I see - thats nothing to do with ubuntu, ubuntu can't effect that. 2.) there is not much info (technically) in that bug report 3.) your approach to logging the bug (constantly asking for updates - eg: is anyone reading this) is not going to get you very far. [11:48] unop - and where will i be able to choose which one to use? [11:48] snake007uk: I'd head into #compiz [11:48] evgeny_, at the logon screen - select session and choose the one you want to run [11:48] ActionParsnip: ok :) [11:48] can someone tell me if there is a widescreen option, and where? my res looks fine but my login screen and top taskbar don't fill the whole screen. [11:49] thank you sir [11:49] yw [11:49] ekow: what graphics card do you have? [11:49] ikonia: So what information is missing? I gave a lot of technical details there - and the one post you mention has just been a single one since there was no response at all. [11:49] loquitus_of_borg, you have breezy and dapper sources in there as well as some third party repos. [11:49] ekow: have you used your screen's wheels? [11:49] <_gAri-> soundray: thank you, I tought there is some package containing all the configurations for different purpose kernels, just like in debian. but this is also fine thanks! [11:49] which email client with IMAP IDLE support can you recommend? [11:50] <\|\|raith> ok heres another question, I'm having problems getting my linksys wusb54gv4 wireless adapter to work correctly. it'll connect to the router but data only seems to flow in small spurts or not at all. is it just a setting I need to adjust or do I need ndiswrapper and a different driver? [11:50] romme: thunderbird [11:50] Hey guys. Does anyone know if a file can have multiple owners? [11:50] ikonia: The binary driver was offered by Ubuntu that time (it was asking me to install it) [11:50] _gAri-: every special-purpose kernel package contains that file, too [11:50] bazhang: once again pardon my newbieness... what do I do to this thing to fix it? [11:50] sources.list, that is [11:50] is reiserfs good for raid? [11:50] loquitus_of_borg, best to back up and do a fresh install at this point as soundray recommended; it is a miracle that your computer is still running. [11:50] ed0n0n: thanks, anything else? [11:50] tphilosopher: no but a group can own it [11:50] ok i have resolved .. i have used Kcontrol soundray ;) [11:50] bazhang: can I just delete the lines that are a problem? [11:50] <_gAri-> soundray: I just apt-get source-d the newest kernel and I didnt find the .config in the root of the dir [11:50] ActionParsnip: Okay, thanks. [11:50] romme: evolution? [11:50] !yay | cr0w [11:50] cr0w: Glad you made it! :-) [11:50] I'd like to try... [11:51] romme: sudo apt-cache search IMAP [11:51] loquitus_of_borg, comment out the dapper and breezy repos [11:51] ed0n0n: evolution does not support imap idle, i've tried it and the devs told me the same [11:51] izzy_: your missing a.) is it 32bit or 64bit b.) what the current version of the running kernel is c.) what the current xorg package versions are d.) what nvidia package you have installed (the driver offered by ubuntu is the nvidia binary package from nvidia.com - it's nothing to do with ubuntu, its closed source) your missing your xorg log file [11:51] !kernelcompile > _gAri-, you may find the information behind these links useful [11:51] _gAri-,, please see my private message [11:51] loquitus_of_borg, with all those third party (and breezy! and dapper) repos who knows what is waiting to break. [11:51] soundray i have a problem..i I do not succeed to install the GCC [11:51] izzy_: and your one response is not helpful to a bug report "is anyone reading this" just dilutes the data [11:51] unop - when i put that command, it told me that 0 packages would be installed, updated bla bla bla [11:51] cr0w: 'sudo apt-get install build-essential' will do that for you [11:52] ed0n0n, no need for sudo with apt-cache search [11:52] it says to me that I have already installed them but not part iroffer [11:52] ikonia: Let me please ask some concrete questions: 1) is the output of dpkg -l (as described there) pointing to an issue with the packaging system, and if so, what to do about this? 2) should I try to go back to the "free" driver and if so, how to achieve it best. [11:52] ActionParsnip: it's an intel 965 series or somethin, lemme go look up the actual thing [11:52] ed0n0n: i'm on a laptop, i dont think it has any external adjusters [11:52] bazhang: :D it's just in case [11:52] ok try.. [11:52] ekow: graphic card? Video adapter? [11:53] evgeny_, are you sure you have all the ubuntu repositories enabled? [11:53] loquitus_of_borg, up to you; imo your system is ready to break at any time--> best to back up vital data NOW before continuing [11:53] izzy_: dpkg -l shows you have the nvidia-glx package installed, I dont see an issue with that, that seems quite normal. 2.) if you wish to use the non-hardware acceleracted open driver change the Driver "nvidia" to "Driver "nv" in xorg.conf [11:54] loquitus_of_borg, comment out (place # in front of) dapper, breezy, proposed, and third party repos and try again [11:54] ekow: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-widescreen-resolutions-for-intel-display-cards-in-ubuntu-feisty.html [11:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/29929/ it should look like this [11:54] ikonia: OK, agreed to the "not helpful" post - will keep my fingers off from these :) As to your questions: 1) 32bit (despite of the AMD64 CPU) b) is to be seen by the dpkg -l output c) the latest ones (1:7.3+10ubuntu10.2) d) same source as c) [11:54] <_gAri-> soundray: thank you, I'm totally new to ubuntu, used debian for a big while [11:54] now soundray ? i have installed build-essential ..

[11:59] ikonia: Anything about the messed up packages? dpkg e.g. tells me "un nvidia-xconfig" - which is to be read as this package is (U)nknown and (N)ot installed, right?

[12:00] izzy_: don't, remove the config file and let xorg manage it in memory [12:01] ikonia: Why I explicitly mention the nvidia-xconfig: According to the package information, this one conflicts with nvidia-glx which I'm using. [12:01] \|\|raith: some linux wireless drivers have sensitivity issues where Windows drivers are okay. This is a typical problem when the free drivers have been written without proprietary internal knowledge of the wireless chipset. [12:01] izzy_: why are you using nvidia-xconfig then [12:01] izzy_: stop using it, install nvidia-glx package, remove xorg.conf and reboot [12:02] \|\|raith: I don't like to recommend ndiswrapper, but it's sometimes suitable to work around this type of problem [12:02] bonjour à tous [12:02] ikonia: You ask me that?

[12:05] ikonia, do you also have a hint on how to deal with the packages dpkg tells me are not installed, but the files still being around? [12:05] ActionParsnip, how can i do that?

[12:07] \|\|raith: I'd definitely try ndiswrapper over downgrading, unless you have ethical concerns over using proprietary software [12:07] Hi all, is there a script that ensures that my box boots with a particular version of kernel even if newer ones are installed ?

Now it has appeared again I cannot "jump" I cannot kill the process of localedef.

[12:29] zizou03, because even with 'Platinum' apps, it carks it [12:29] example: Dreamweaver runs one, then never again [12:30] ActionParsnip: I didn't use the full path. that's what it out put [12:30] ed0n0n, and btw - it was not locale-gen but /usr/bin/localedef I changed - sorry for confusion. [12:30] dreamweaver runs under cedega / crossover [12:30] Yea, that's not really what you want :p Work better on my mac though.. Not that I ever tried dreamweaver [12:30] loquitus_of_borg: ok cool [12:30] !info bluefish | Greyscale [12:30] greyscale: bluefish (source: bluefish): advanced Gtk+ HTML editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.7-4 (hardy), package size 1570 kB, installed size 6728 kB [12:30] loquitus_of_borg, what does sudo apt-get update return now? be sure there is not another sources.list (.d) in that path [12:31] used that once, hated it [12:31] izzy_: upgrade has run "dpkg --configure -a" by itself [12:31] ed0n0n, OK - than you should be done. Good luck with the boot - and hopefully everything is allright now! [12:31] Greyscale: thing is there are many alternatives instead of running windows apps in wine etc [12:32] bazhang: there is a sources.list.d directory in /etc/apt... should I get rid of it? [12:32] No sound on Ubuntu after playing flashplayer video ( like Youtube) the video stop every 2 sec, tried to install flashplayer 10 very hard, I spent more than 24 hours and can't solve it, disappointed, pls help [12:32] ActionParsnip, -X didnt do it [12:32] I'm new on Ubuntu [12:32] I don't mind proprietary applications on my opensource OS. [12:32] loquitus_of_borg, comment out everything in it [12:32] As long as the core is free and open, I don't mind what happens in userspace [12:32] izzy_: Upgrade has finished. Should I reboot? (There is no icon telling me to) [12:32] g0tcha-: you forwarding X to a windows system? [12:32] closed drivers are annoying though, because they break easilly. [12:33] Greyscale: fair point. I tend to use fully open stuff but im not a big system user [12:33] bazhang: ok... no errors I think. just two W's... saying some duplicate sources.list stuff. [12:33] bazhang: now what [12:34] ed0n0n, some day you will have to :) Honestly: The dist-upgrade brought you a newer kernel, an updated X and whatever else is loaded. To use the new kernel and X, you will need to reboot. Whether you want to do that now is up to you. It's not a bad idea, though ;) [12:34] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade loquitus_of_borg [12:34] Is it wrong that I prefer Outlook 2007 to thunderbird? [12:34] Greyscale, no, but offtopic here [12:34] izzy_: You got good sense of humor :) [12:34] ActionParsnip, umm no :/ [12:34] Greyscale: if you wanna run it thats your choice [12:34] where can i read about it more?

[12:35] ActionParsnip, Office 07's UI is better, I think. C'mon opensource, fire up the idea stealing machine for max win! :D [12:35] loquitus_of_borg, with luck yes [12:36] Greyscale: I use webmail so i dont download any nasties to my system [12:36] If an idea is good, take it. If a company makes a better car, we buy it. If a country has better food, we copy it. :P [12:36] Greyscale: plus I can access my emails anywhere [12:36] bazhang: and then I do the same kind of thing to get to the next rung in the ladder? [12:36] izzy_: I thought it was because things for you were easy/Izzy [12:36] ActionParsnip, I like having a local copy. I'm wierd. [12:36] ActionParsnip, thanks [12:36] I still can grab my mail anywhere via either RDP or squirrelmail :P [12:36] loquitus_of_borg, next step will be much easier [12:36] <\|\|raith> alright I'm off to bed, thanx for the help guys, I'm sure you'll see me again [12:36] Greyscale: again, thats how you like it. I'm always online so to me it appears local [12:36] bazhang: as in that command i just issued will be the last of edgy... or do i need to do something more to get feisty? [12:36] ed0n0n, would be great if that applied to the two problems I'm left with after the upgrade... [12:37] loquitus_of_borg, that will bring feisty, planet alignment willing [12:37] I figure I'll get vmware because I currently RDP into a windows machine to do things that I can't under linux. [12:37] bazhang: aren't we positive :) [12:37] bazhang: easier why? [12:37] Greyscale: it doesn't seem like you need support? [12:37] !equivalents | Greyscale check here [12:37] Greyscale check here: A comprehensive list of of Windows-equivalent applications in Linux can be found at http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WhatWindowsUsersWant [12:37] izzy_: at least you were able to fix them by yourself, I could'nt even get trough the upgrade [12:38] bazhang: I suppose I am trying to be optimistic that linux can be upgraded while those idiots in Redmond have no idea what an upgrade is. [12:38] Greyscale: i can do everything natively in linux, chat, browse, amarok + XUL remote, pidgin and Urban terror [12:38] other than changing people hundreds of dollars for one [12:38] ed0n0n, you are talking about another problem *with* the upgrade - I'm talking about 2 problems left *after* the upgrade... [12:38] loquitus_of_borg, most of this trouble is your adding various thirdy party and very olde version repo sources. [12:39] loquitus_of_borg: keep your language in nice tone ;) [12:39] I could too, ActionParsnip, but I think in some cases, windows apps do it better. Getting these to work under wine painlessly would be epic win [12:39] post kernel update, some of my apps are acting strange. Tomboy Notes app caused an error when X loads and none of my tray apps load on startup (including the network manager). firefox keeps asking me if i want to restore the session even when it gets closed properly. it's also slow to load, and my bookmarks are gone. HELP! [12:39] bazhang: if something breaks then, will it be something very critical, or some third party thing I added, you guess? [12:39] Greyscale: indeed, the wine guys work hard [12:39] refa_cUt3 [12:39] loquitus_of_borg, likely both at this point; which why I say backup NOW before taking this step. [12:39] I wonder if anyone got Office 2007 to install under it.. [12:40] izzy_: I will see wich problems I get *after* upgrade, if my poor laptop restarts... It's got stuck in the end of the orange bar [12:40] Dreamweaver + Office 2007 and I'd be set. [12:40] greetings, how do i configure tftp-hda? where lies it config file under ubuntu? i cant seem to find it. [12:40] ed0n0n, 1: some issues with hal (plug-in some USB stick, try to mount it with the graphical interface - e.g. Konqueror - and see a message that it failed. Mount it manually (as user even), and it works). [12:40] <_gAri-> is there any pax enabled ubuntu kernel? [12:40] And iTunes. [12:40] Greyscale: i use abiword only. I dont make spreadsheets or databases or anythng [12:40] bazhang: worst case scenario and this fails... can't i get my data still if I boot a linux cd and mount the root partition? or will this nuke my data (potentially) if it fails? [12:40] * ActionParsnip spits at itunes [12:40] Greyscale, getting pretty far offtopic here [12:41] bazhang, Computing using proprietary software under wine ontop of Ubuntu [12:41] ed0n0n, you've seem to hit #2 - wait about 20..30 sec, it probably starts then. [12:41] Greyscale: technically this is a support channel [12:41] loquitus_of_borg, no idea as those should have broken your system long before. [12:42] izzy: it is hanged up, cannot even ALT+CTRL+F1 [12:42] Greyscale, support not chat. [12:42] ed0n0n, After the orange bar, I get a black screen for 20..30 seconds (with the last boot message). When I already think all is broken, X comes up. As soon as I log out, X crashes - and nothing helps but a reboot. [12:42] loquitus_of_borg: remember the old adage, data you haven't backed up is data you don't want [12:42] soundray, sound advice [12:42] soundray, or if I cannot install at any given moment I am doing something wrong [12:43] soundray: I agree. sound advice. my quesiton still stands. can an upgrade make my data inaccessible? I thought that I could always boot a linux cd and mount the ext3 drive, in the worst case scenario. [12:43] knowing this does not mean I will take stupid chances, of course. [12:43] loquitus_of_borg, only way to know is try; we have asked you to upgrade, so fair warning [12:44] loquitus_of_borg: probably, yes. There are operations, however, that can make your partitions inaccessible if there's e.g. a power cut at precisely the wrong moment [12:44] loquitus_of_borg: like partition resizing [12:44] Installed ubuntu today, and everything works great... then suddenly after 3-4 hours the audio is gone...any educated guesses what has happened? [12:44] err backup loquitus_of_borg [12:44] lalala: did you update? [12:44] izzy_: Staring up... Croos my fingers... [12:44] lalala, check alsamixer in terminal and make sure nothing is muted [12:44] Hello, how can I take a screenshot, when I have a menu open? Say a firefox bookmark menu, or a ubuntu menu from the top [12:44] bazhang: I intend to do so actually before I go through with this... again... the reason I ask all this is so I understand better. [12:45] ed0n0n, good luck! Let me know what happens :) [12:45] lalala: try: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [12:45] I am trying to realize here if it is even possible for a software update to make my drive inaccessiable. I don't see that being possible. [12:45] izzy_: All [OK] !! [12:45] I foolishly deleted the contents of /var/cache, but now apt-get is refusing to run because of missing directories and files etc. Is there a way of telling apt-get to re-init? [12:45] I have in fact stopped the upgrade for now [12:45] ed0n0n, Congratulations! [12:45] Starcraftmazter: have you tried the PrintScreen key? [12:45] hy all [12:45] ActionParsnip: ok, I'll try [12:45] !hi qt-x [12:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about hi qt-x === marko_ is now known as marko-_- [12:45] !hi | qt-x [12:45] qt-x: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [12:45] soundray: yeh, it doesn't do anything if I have a menu open [12:45] izzy_: Screen is gone mad ! [12:45] is ther a list with voice command for Gnome-Voice-Control ? === vezir_ is now known as Vezir [12:46] ed0n0n, what graphics adapter? Maybe it messed up the X config (as I assume for my machines as well) [12:46] bazhang: what will I do once this step succeeds, to move to the next rung? [12:46] izzy_: Graphics ATI X700 128Mb [12:47] loquitus_of_borg, lets face that when this is done. [12:47] qt-x: id disable it and watch some youtub evids [12:47] anyone know heard of this bug: Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg - modprobe ath_pci - [ 700.617071] wifi%d: unable to attach hardware: 'Hardware didn't respond as expected' (HAL status 3) [12:47] bazhang: I ask this since I won't do this right away and might want to know, assuming the planets align [12:47] Starcraftmazter: I see. Try xwd with the -root option. You can add a delay to give you time to open the menu. E.g. 'sleep 3 ; xwd -root >screenshot.xwd' [12:47] CarlFK: can you get any network connectivity from any interface? [12:48] ed0n0n, maybe I pass you the recommendation ikonia gave me: remove (or better rename) the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and startup without it (to let X manage its configuration dynamically). For me it was nVidia adapters that cause trouble. [12:48] ActionParsnip: yes - I am sshed into the box over a usb-wifi stick. the Atheros is the built in [12:48] Starcraftmazter: you will have to convert the .xwd file to something more common, like png, with the Gimp or similar [12:48] CarlFK: can you get system updates? [12:48] izzy_: I will right now, and then reboot [12:48] ActionParsnip: yes. thats what broke it a few weeks ago :) [12:48] CarlFK: what architecture you running? [12:49] Starcraftmazter: if all else fails, use a digital camera ;) [12:49] ed0n0n, you must be root for that - e.g. "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.bak" [12:49] hey all, I'm blanking here...how does one change the parenthesis part of this: isaac@(isaac-laptop) [12:49] CarlFK: 32bit or 64bit? [12:49] I can't even remember what is it called [12:49] ActionParsnip: i386-generic [12:49] 32 [12:50] soundray: where does the file get placed? [12:50] Starcraftmazter: in the current directory, if you have write permissions. Type 'pwd' to display it [12:50] thanks all of you... for the help :) [12:50] CarlFK: tried madwifi? [12:50] especially soundray and especially bazhang [12:50] ActionParsnip: tried in what way? [12:50] ah..the hostname, how does one change the hostname [12:50] loquitus_of_borg: yw [12:50] soundray: sweet thanks, it works [12:51] izzy_: My broadcom wifi driver also got old, it tells me to upgrade firmware [12:51] CarlFK: install it via apt-get / aptitude etc [12:51] ed0n0n, that's beyond my knowledge - never used wifi on my workstations... [12:51] bazhang: alxamixer says everything is ok [12:51] ActionParsnip: ah - didn't know there was a separate package [12:51] CarlFK: did you use sudo modprobe ath_pci [12:52] ActionParsnip: updated and upgraded, still no audio [12:52] ActionParsnip: yep [12:52] izzy_: dont worry for that, its just a upgarde issue [12:52] lalala: what sound card do you have? [12:52] ed0n0n, looks like you already have a clue - good! [12:53] ActionParsnip: dont even know, was so happy when ubuntu just discovered it on its own, and gave me sound ;) [12:53] lalala: run lspci and copy just the line for you sound in here? [12:53] ActionParsnip: in answer to ugrade: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade = 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [12:53] lalala: do not paste the whole thing [12:54] CarlFK: sudo apt-get install madwifi [12:54] izzy_: X is also running with default values [12:54] CarlFK: try tab completing madwifi so you get it right [12:54] E: Couldn't find package madwifi [12:54] oh... [12:54] yay - Selecting previously deselected package madwifi-tools. === Schumbi is now known as Schumbi_futtern [12:55] CarlFK: it says reboot in a walthrough i got that off [12:55] CarlFK: then try modprobing [12:55] ActionParsnip: read through the list, and it lists everything BUT my sound card... it's integrated into my laptop, but should still show up right? [12:55] :O [12:55] lalala: yes [12:55] ed0n0n, so after the last boot (w/o xorg.conf) screen is no longer messed up? [12:55] lalala: look for the word audio [12:55] !paste | lalala [12:55] lalala: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

AFAIK there comes a special configuration tool with ATI drivers as well - so you could setup your card using that? [12:57] Hi Ladies and Genleman. :D I've got an interesting question. my external HD is formatted in FAT32 to be usable on OSX,M$,and Linux. But now ive encountered a maximum filesize problem. 4i believe on FAT32. So i need an other file system, that ill be able to read and/or write on all 3 systems. Any suggestions on the fly? and ty! :) [12:58] !hda [12:58] ndo, windows can use ext2/3 with third party filesystem drivers. i guess mac os too... [12:58] ndo: NTFS [12:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about hda [12:58] lol [12:59] ActionParsnip 10x [12:59] ndo, with Linux now having good read/write support for NTFS, this might be an option. [12:59] can anyone make ubottu speak ? [12:59] izzy_: downloading ATI propietary driver. Didn't use it before, but need it Asap [12:59] TiredWolf: mac os also with third party drivers i guess?:) [12:59] ActionParsnip: was the !ich lalala for me...was unknown by the bots... [12:59] lalala: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [12:59] jameslr, jizzy_: but what about macand htfs?:) [12:59] ActionParsnip: thanks =) [13:00] ed0n0n, downloading means you want to install manually - or you are using the "restricted drivers" install from Ubuntu? [13:00] ntfs* [13:00] izzy* [13:00] :) [13:00] ndo: I think Mac can read NTFS no probs, not sure about writing to it [13:00] Vezir: you need to edit xorg.conf to get the resolutions [13:00] ndo: well i'm not really sure, mac os has a BSD core so perhaps ext3 is even available natively, i haven't the slighest idea really. but i think it really has to be readily available given all the posixness [13:00] izzy_: Restricted for now. Once it works, will go back to glx [13:00] ndo: I think it does support writes though. Why must you be able to write with all 3 OSes? [13:01] ndo, MacOS is AFAIK based on some BSD variant. You may check if ntfs-3g is available there as well. [13:01] Hi [13:01] Who could be this man? http://www.sysadminday.lt/attachments/Image/Who_is_who/who10.jpg [13:01] !hi Danker [13:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about hi danker [13:01] !ot | Danker [13:01] Danker: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [13:02] ed0n0n, ok - sounds reasonable. At least worked in previous versions of Ubuntu. With a fresh install of the driver, you should have luck. [13:02] I thought it would be more straight forward, this update proccess, but it lacks of a clear easy to use [13:02] i've managed to set 1.4TB ext3 partition on my raid uwzing fdisk [13:02] ndo: what are you storing on the drive that is so large? DVD iso? [13:02] it's formated and everything [13:03] but i can't mount it [13:03] it's also not visible in computer:// [13:03] ed0n0n, it was for gutsy (went straight through from feisty). Unfortunately it's a bit messed up for gutsy2hardy. No idea why - it#s a quite complex issue... [13:03] Question "why i must ne able to write with all 3 OSes?" Euhm, cuz im dual booting on my mac mini with osx/ubuntu, and if i go to my friend('s) with this disk ill also be happy to be able to copy him some of the Christian movies i have on it. So he watches them and sees the light! ;) === mathias is now known as maze_oldf [13:04] jameslr: VirtualBox .dvi hard disk image [13:04] ndo: fat32 then or NTFS if you mount it in Linux with ntfs-3g [13:04] I hope it gets easyer for next time.

[13:07] jameslr: i mean friends:) [13:07] ed0n0n, I can upgrade from dapper to hardy directly - in order to bring it to gutsy, it would require me 3 upgrades (egdy-feisty-gutsy) - and for a server, I want a LTS version since it is not at home but housed at my provider -- I don't always have the time to go there for upgrades ;) [13:08] http://www.bloodhackers.com/Welcome-To-The-Sanctuary-Of-BloodhackerS-Team [13:08] seems funny - pirating christian movies...

[13:15] i have a problem with a iroffer configuration [13:15] i guess best solution would be NTFS, i can setup ntfs3g on both systems (osx and ubuntu), and if go somewhere in most cases it will be m$. [13:15] Since I'm up and running, can anyone recommend a happy mps/audio player for xubuntu with 192MB RAM? [13:15] xfce === genikru1988 is now known as genikru1988_ [13:16] gjut: xmms? === genikru1988_ is now known as genikru [13:17] ActionParsnip: ok, update on my audio problem... thought the problem was no audio, but when ppl log in and out of msn, I still get the sound. So no sound in browser, and in none of the audio-programs is the new problem :S [13:17] Is there any way to determine current power consumption on a laptop with amd processor ? [13:17] jameslr: is that the same as xmms2? [13:17] gjut: yep [13:17] ok. got a bit confused there [13:18] The setup is for my dad, 78 yrs [13:18] erlend_: then modify the audio device they use [13:18] p [13:18] gjut: you could upgrade his memory :P [13:18] LOL [13:18] hmm, is it possible to use UDF on an HD, anyone?:) [13:18] yeah, he won't remember it === asdfsad is now known as kinoz [13:19] ndo: UDF?? isn't that packet writing for CDs? [13:19] jameslr: yes, something to do with cd's:) [13:19] ndo: I doubt it. [13:19] what's the command to list all running processes? [13:19] !udf [13:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about udf [13:19] !info udf [13:19] Package udf does not exist in hardy [13:20] jeje [13:20] will it support mp3 out-of-the-box? [13:20] erlend_: ps [13:20] TiredWolf: ty [13:20] erlend_: ps aux will list all processes in a detailed way, or you can use top [13:20] gjut: get the gstreamer or pulse audio plugins for it and it should. [13:20] gjut: you'll need to install the decoder [13:20] jameslr: as i tough :) [13:21] from synaptic? [13:21] gjut, install Ubuntu Restrited Extras should do [13:21] UDF is a common format. [13:21] ndo: there's no perfect solution for you. NTFS is a hack [13:21] Found on dvd and larger. [13:21] Hi, ActionParsnip [13:21] hi gjut [13:21] hi [13:21] jameslr: yep:) [13:21] hi plast1k [13:22] ActionParsnip: working well now, was a hidden program that conflicted with the audio =) [13:22] ndo: ideally there would be a filesystem that is independent of the operating system that is supported on all operating systems. *NEVER* going to happen... [13:22] because every OS vendor thinks theirs is the best. [13:22] erlend_: sweet move :D [13:23] erlend_: id have rebooted to see if it sorted it out before trying stuff [13:23] Linux has ext, Mac has UFS/HFS, Windoze has NTFS... [13:23] ActionParsnip: will do, later =) [13:23] jameslr: usually there is one, kind of FAT32 ;) but.. lilbit to old for now [13:23] jameslr: there are ext-drivers for windows tho [13:23] Does anyone know if there is an another driver besides 177.13 that supports the Geforce 280 GTX? the existing one seems to be the cause of stability problems [13:23] and for wmv video files, what is the codec? [13:23] The-Compiler: yes, but they're all hacks. Not supported by the OS officially. [13:24] geforce 280GTX? [13:24] yes [13:24] just checking [13:24] OT but good interview with Linus: http://www.simple-talk.com/opinion/geek-of-the-week/linus-torvalds,-geek-of-the-week/ [13:24] ndo: the only thing I would use FAT32 on is a usb pen drive. [13:25] i would still use NTFS on a pen drive [13:25] jameslr: what do u mean?i mean why?:) [13:25] unop, hmm I don't know that you'd really want to do that, suppose the power goes out, it's time to format the stick [13:25] gjut, there is some GSTreamer packs ... they have the codecs... them wmv should play on totem ... other option is VLC a player that does not need external codecs to play wmv [13:26] Does anyone know if there is an another driver besides 177.13 that supports the Geforce 280 GTX? the existing one seems to be the cause of stability problems [13:26] when i click the firefox logo on gnome-panel, i get a window with the title "error", the window doesn't have any text. I have to killall gnome-panel to get my panel back. [13:26] ndo: FAT32 is old as hell, but it still has its uses. If you don't need ACLs or security or large file support - FAT32 is a fast file system. [13:26] Luhta: id install nvidia-glx package [13:26] good for pen drives [13:26] Luhta, that's ok - i don;t really mind doing that, I keep backups [13:26] Luhta: or envyng-gtx [13:26] journalling filesystems on a pen drive degrade their life [13:26] ZeroA4: thanks [13:26] jameslr: k:) [13:26] Luhta, but like the power ever goes off here? hardly ever [13:27] ActionParsnip, that won't work, they changed their naming scheme with the nvidia card line, it's not as old as it sounds it's actually the new one === und is now known as Guest22254 [13:27] ActionParsnip: like clock work : ) ty === jadrian is now known as Izzin [13:27] Luhta: then nvidia-glx-new [13:27] erlend_: sweet D: [13:27] it's not in that one yet [13:27] :D [13:27] Luhta, if you were asking why i'd use NTFS - it's simple, compression [13:28] Luhta: id try them and see which is good, theres always the one from www.nvidia.com [13:28] Hi [13:28] Bonjour [13:28] !hi | aliquando [13:28] aliquando: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [13:28] ActionParsnip, the one from nvidia.com is the only one that works, I'm trying to find an alternative to it if there's one that exists [13:28] the 200 series hasn't made it into nvidia-glx-new yet [13:28] is there any advantages from using NVIDIA's driver from there site to just using ubuntu's restricted driver? [13:29] Luhta: you may have to wait a bit then [13:29] kindofabuzz, for me there is as my card is only supported there === B00daW is now known as B--daW [13:29] I am a newbie on linux OS but I would like to use Xdmx, anyone can help me? [13:29] OMG ! my system just start disk thrashing then i couldnt move the mouse for ten minutes !!!! === Exteris is now known as Exteris^ [13:29] well my card is supported both places so just wondering [13:29] how do i stop this ? what makes the disk thrashing ? === Exteris^ is now known as Exteris [13:30] ActionParsnip, I was hoping you wouldn't say that I finally got away from MS but this card is pulling at me to play stuff >< [13:30] HELLO UBUNTU PEOPLE: Is there a way to join the ubuntuforums ? [13:30] hatter_: check your process list [13:30] jameslr, , i did [13:30] AuContraire, you have to register on the forums [13:30] jameslr, i dont know what process was doing it [13:30] man Deluge is pissing me off with this so called release candidate..eats all the memory [13:30] hatter_: so it's not doing it anymore? [13:30] AuContraire: of course there is [13:30] jameslr, no its stopped [13:30] Luhta: i understand your frustrations but nvidia drivers dont seem to work too well with bleeding edge technology [13:31] I have installed the latest jdk in a custom directory under ubuntu 8.04, how do I set it so the whole system uses it? [13:31] hi all [13:31] it made the whole system bogged down [13:31] AuContraire: http://ubuntuforums.org/register.php [13:31] impossible to use [13:31] mp3 [13:31] hatter_: then there really isn't anything you need to do to stop it now right? [13:31] yo [13:31] anyone here that has any experience with Wireshark? [13:31] elooo [13:31] jameslr, no, i dont want it to happen again [13:31] erlend_: yeah [13:31] kindofabuzz, the nvidia driver supports 3D and dual-head on a single card... the opensource nv has better support for FrameBuffer ando Xrandr [13:31] i have a Q if anyone can help me [13:31] ? [13:31] -nod- I'll just wait it out then [13:31] does anybody know how to set up an ATI 1650pro in 8.04? [13:31] The-Compiler: Maybe this can be much clearer to the casual visitors? ... [13:31] Thanks btw [13:32] spanker: System>Admin>Harware Drivers [13:32] jameslr: nice...how long must I gather to have enough into to work with? [13:32] done that [13:32] ZeroA4: so for games I want NVIDIA's? reg use just use the restricted? [13:32] erlend_: depends on what you need to know. [13:32] AuContraire: the first word on the site is "register", but nvm ;) [13:32] I created new partition using fdisk, all i kno it's /dev/sda1 and ext3, what should i add to /etc/fstab to get it mounted? [13:32] but the system keeps hanging when i start the driver... [13:32] erlend_: what type of traffic are you monitoring? have you set up your filters so that you don't get a lot of garbage? [13:32] evening, i have mashed my ubuntu in a bad way [13:32] erm, guys ... I installed JDK from the Sun's site in my custom home directory and am interested on how the hell would I use it instead of that damned gcj since I wanna use it for the whole system! [13:32] kindofabuzz, yes for 3D games you need nvidia driver... [13:32] !fstab > nooga [13:32] nooga, please see my private message [13:33] my nas is gone and its taking like 20 minutes to boot [13:33] could Gparted convert fat32 to ntfs or..? [13:33] ZeroA4: thanks buddie [13:33] thx [13:33] father: what do you need? === TemplePRime is now known as TemplePrime [13:33] kindofabuzz, you are wellcome [13:33] i need to download up dates for ubuntu but my other system cant connect to the internet [13:33] Luhta: keep your ear to the ground man [13:33] Hello - I need to add a user to a group, but the graphical tool is for some reason irresponive. How do I do this from the command line? [13:33] is it possible [13:33] ? [13:33] jameslr: getting 85% crap... I am using my neighbour's net, (I'm allowed to, we have an agreement) but now he's gone for 6 weeks and I have reset everything... [13:33] lusepuster adduser [13:33] ActionParsnip, that's the plan [13:34] jameslr, doh. it was my fault. i started a vm that had the same memory allocation as what is in the system... doh ! [13:34] The-Compiler: No, its not if you get there by googling something and land there. [13:34] lusepuster: usermod -g groupname username [13:34] lusepuster: sudo adduser [13:34] I installed xmms2 but it won't show in my xfce menu. How do I refresh it? [13:34] jameslr: the cpu is on, so itæs probably sending [13:34] jameslr, TemplePrime , thanks... [13:34] erlend_: I'm not following [13:35] Father: why can't you get on the net with the other machine? [13:35] jameslr: sorry.. I need the network password, and I figure since his cpu is on, the password is sent in the packages... I get to gather those :S [13:35] The-Compiler: Oh!!! Its that NON_UNDERLINED and small caption "register" ? [13:36] Please add an underline/score [13:36] well i have 2 laptops [13:36] AuContraire: its not my forum :D [13:36] both acer [13:36] woops it was usermod -G group user...not -g [13:36] Father: !aptcd [13:36] he left though [13:36] The-Compiler: granted but id like to clear up some newbie mistakes as i see them. [13:36] and when i installed it everything was great [13:36] erlend_: sorry I won't help with password sniffing. [13:37] but i ran into some errors [13:37] specifically?! [13:37] Father: what errors? [13:37] jameslr: kk, thanks...I respect that... crap, have to go 6 weeks without net :S [13:37] The-Compiler: What are you compilin btw ? [13:37] !enter | Father [13:37] Father: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [13:37] it detects all my hardware [13:38] and then tell me to connect to the online [13:38] erlend_: there are worse things. And if you need internet that badly - go to the public library :P [13:38] Father: have you installed acer_hk [13:38] AuContraire: nothing atm :P [13:38] !acerhk [13:38] acer_hk/ [13:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about acerhk [13:38] ? [13:38] what's the choice of picture viewers in kde? you can spare me the ones that show up with apt-cache search image viewer, as i'm already aware of those ;) but is there anything else? [13:38] !info acerhk [13:38] Package acerhk does not exist in hardy [13:39] i dont know what that is [13:39] jameslr: not gonna argue with you there ;) [13:39] The-Compiler: Ive been on the compilings for a few years so holler if you need any pleh :=) [13:39] Father: acer use garbage propietary hardware. somebody made a module you need to make acers work well [13:39] Father use a cat5 connection vs a wireless [13:39] hi [13:39] ooooooh [13:40] Father: what acer do you have? [13:40] hey all, how do i restart samba [13:40] dam but390 [13:40] The-Compiler: lfs is neat btw [13:40] moDumass: sudo invoke-rc.d samba restart [13:40] 3690 [13:40] moDumass: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [13:40] or awesomeness, thanks [13:40] Father - hardwire your laptop to the net, grab your updated drivers etc as you should get "generic" drivers running by default that will allow you on the net via cat 5 [13:40] !who | Father [13:40] Father: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [13:41] anyone some knowledge on how to convert FAT32 to NTFS without windoze? [13:41] Father: yep its a broadcom. You need to install ndiswrapper [13:41] good morning everyone [13:41] ndo: you can't. Must have windows convert command [13:41] yes [13:42] !info convertfs | ndo, dangerous [13:42] hmm, that didnt fix it, i had 2 seprate hdds from a nas mounted on my deskyop, and somehow they now are gone [13:42] ndo, dangerous: Package convertfs does not exist in hardy [13:42] ndo: unless you have some third party utility like Partition Magic or the like [13:42] any ideas would be awesome [13:42] uhm, it does exist afaik [13:42] ndo, not sure whether this can be done with gparted (you may want to check) [13:42] hi headc4se (its 3 pm here tho =) [13:42] ActionParsnip: thats what that ting said [13:42] i wish it was 3pm here, means i would almost be outta work [13:42] what's the choice of picture viewers in kde? you can spare me the ones that show up with apt-cache search image viewer, as i'm already aware of those ;) but is there anything else? [13:43] !Father have you managed to get the machine connecteD? [13:43] prymal: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:43] Father: so connect with a wire and get it sorted, then use wireless if you want [13:43] Father: have you managed to get the machine connecteD? [13:43] i expected that partition magic would do it (have hirens cd here) but i was asking myself if gparted would be able todo it :) [13:43] ActionParsnip: there is one problem [13:44] ? [13:44] ndo: are you talking about without destroying any existing data? or wiping a partition clean? [13:44] ndo: No, gparted can't convert filesystems with data intact [13:44] I've got a problem with packages (see http://paste.ubuntu.com/29960/): dpgk says they are unknown and not installed - but they still seem to be there. Since some of them would conflict with other packages I use, I guess they are cause of some trouble I see. Any idea of how to clean them up? [13:44] Father, ActionParsnip i got the Broadcom 4318 wifi card from my acer working with the package b43-fwcutter... i think it mey be easier as it does not need windows drivers [13:44] ofc without destroying data:) [13:44] haha, just checking...that does make it a bit tougher [13:44] ndo: it can create ntfs partition though. [13:44] its not my network [13:44] ndo, gparted (as well as qparted) are simply graphical frontends to parted [13:44] exactly [13:45] not sure if it matters, i'm personally a backup data and recreate partition kinda guy [13:45] im pigybacking === tolecnal_ is now known as tolecnal [13:45] Father: you should be able to use the stuff on the Ubuntu CD and the driver on your driver cd [13:45] ndo, I'm not sure if parted can do this - it was just the first coming to my mind ;) [13:45] ndo: best free solution is to use a windows machine to convert it to NTFS. [13:45] Father: but you need WWW to get sorted ideally === und is now known as Guest10564 [13:45] so, if i want without destroying data only convert, or partition magic tomb?:) [13:46] and they are back [13:46] Father piggybacking with permission or otherwise ? [13:46] its fantastic [13:46] tomb* [13:46] with permission [13:46] to mb* [13:46] ndo: reformat and then restore from backup [13:46] dont get me wrong im far from hacker [13:46] hi goo dday is bazhang here by any chance [13:46] ActionParsnip: that's silly. Why would he do that if he can do it live in Windows without loss of data? [13:46] he was helping me last time [13:47] ndo: i'm with Action on this one...safest way i would think [13:47] hey folks. I am trying to mount a mac/windows disc in Ubuntu (hardy) and it seems to be mounting the MAC image and not the windows one. Any ideas how to get that switched? [13:47] Father then you can piggyback it to the connected laptop..make the other working laptop as a gateway [13:47] jameslr: its just a suggestion [13:47] huh, easy to say, if its the biggest drive i have:) [13:47] Father as wired now, not a wireless [13:47] wirless [13:47] ndo: so what if the drive failed? where can you get the data from agin? [13:47] I'm not saying backing up your data isn't a good idea, but the convert utility in windows really is safe. I have never been failed by it. [13:48] james: i hope your now knocking on wood [13:48] Does anyone know how to install Adobe Acrobat reader. I cannot find it in Synaptic [13:48] If I close a window for a program, the program keeps running but the window goes away completely. Is there a way to get it back? (the program is still running and I can get the pid) [13:48] headc4se: no need to anymore. I haven't used convert in years. [13:48] is there any way that i can get the nessary updates or plugins [13:48] headc4se: I also never have data on a portable device that isn't duplicated on some sort of fault tolerant media [13:48] Father once more, you can piggyback to the working laptop via wired cat5 (making the working laptop as gateway), get it? [13:49] gjut, look for acroread [13:49] gjut, you dont realy need it... evince docment reader opens pdf [13:49] i hope to get to that point, unfortunately, for work it seems i will always need access to windows, and some of the software i occasionally need doesn't work so hot in virtualbox [13:49] gjut, it is in the Medibuntu repository [13:49] but i dont know how to do that [13:49] to get this data back, in case its destroyed, is not impossible, but to troublesome to risk it:) [13:49] DEAR OPPORTUNITIES SEEKERS: [13:49] I THOUGHT YOU JUST MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN THE FOLOWINGS: [13:49] WE ARE CURRENTLY HIRING WORK HOME [13:49] TYPIST/CLERK/SECRETARY/SUPERVISOR/TRAINER/MARKETER/MANAGER.

[13:49] MUST KNOW TYPING. [13:49] headc4se: I am a Windows Sys Admin, so yes I have to work with Windows all the time, but I never work with fat32 anymore. [13:50] hello room [13:50] how can i chek 3D GRAPHIC in ubuntu? [13:50] bazhang you there [13:50] ZeroA4: But will it have two pages up? [13:50] you mean for me to connect directly to the laptop via cat5 then what [13:50] gjut, yes [13:50] ahhh...i'm making my way towards linux admin i hope [13:50] i have enabled special effects in preferences -> appearances now how can i 3d rotate the desktop ? [13:50] Father time to learn, there are many tutorials you can find in google, ubuntu+gateway+shared internet access [13:51] silver: enable cube in the same place [13:51] ok [13:51] does any one know how to get the screen savers that use compiz fusion [13:51] Father yes, then the other laptop that is able to connect wirelessly can be your gateway to the internet..it acts as router/gateway [13:51] thanks [13:51] like teh rotating desktop and stuff [13:51] is there a way to have my windows partition on the same drive as my ubuntu install to mount automatically? [13:51] silence you can try the glx??? programs such as glxinfo, or glxgears to see if its working. [13:51] ZeroA4: should i uncheck the nvidia restricted before i install nvidia's? [13:51] thank you all for all your help [13:51] Ganandorf: http://www.google.co.uk/search?num=50&hl=en&safe=off&rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUK248&q=compiz+fusion+screen+savers&btnG=Search [13:52] actionparsnip >> only 3 options none normal and extra [13:52] if anyone is curious, having 0 bytes of free space on your root partition can cause all kinds of oddities with anything from the panel to firefox. [13:52] where is the cube option ? [13:52] Father you're welcome, come back anytime if you get stuck on a tutorial and needs clarifications [13:52] silver: run ccsm [13:52] Hi anyone know Xdmx, i need help? [13:52] kindofabuzz, no.... nvidia restricted IS the nvidia driver [13:52] !ask aliquando [13:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask aliquando [13:52] nosto: you mean you want access to your windows partition? [13:52] !ask | aliquando [13:52] aliquando: 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. :-) [13:52] oh i have it - it is viewable but i can't just automatically use shortcuts [13:52] ActionParsnip: ok doing tht [13:53] ZeroA4: I'm talking about the one from nvidia, you said for games i need that one and not the restricted [13:53] silver: you need compizconfig-settings-manager and simple-ccsm [13:53] i have to go into the file system and open the C:\ (basically) before shortcuts work [13:53] hmm ok sorry [13:53] nosto: how do you mean "shortcuts" [13:53] kindofabuzz, it is the SAME driver... just ubuntu packages it for easy installl though apt [13:53] ummmm apps on the partition that i'm using wine to run? [13:53] Does anybody have an idea for my packages problem posted above (and http://paste.ubuntu.com/29960/)? [13:53] like.. "links" [13:53] nosto: is it mounted? [13:54] ZeroA4: well why did you tell me that there is a difference? [13:54] hi, has anyone resolved opera 9.51 amd64 flash crashing problem? i have ubuntu studio 8.04 amd64 [13:54] it is now - but like i have to double click the 74.5 GB Media [13:54] before i can do anything [13:54] jameslr, thanks, it worked (the usermod thing)! I love this community... [13:54] hi, im a xubuntu user, but i wonder which is the spell checker that ubuntu has by default.. anyone know? cause xubuntu does not come with one [13:54] i just want that to be automatically done so I can just boot in and double click my wine apps per say [13:54] i want to give a try [13:54] nosto: well its not mounted until you access it. If you make it automount using fstab and have it mounted in /mnt itwil always be there [13:54] kindofabuzz, the diferençe is between the nvidia (restrited closed source) driver and de NV open source (not restrited) driver [13:55] lusepuster: sure, I told you wrong though. You might want to undo what you did and use usermod -G (uppercase matters) [13:55] Helo folks. My Evolution has been force quit and now it freezes at open. Any file I could remove or change to have it start normally? [13:55] jameslr, what is the difference? [13:55] lusepuster: the command I gave you before will set your initial group (default group) [13:55] ok how do i do that action? [13:55] lusepuster: to fix it just do sudo usermod -g username username [13:55] !de [13:55] Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [13:56] ZeroA4: ok you've lost me now, so is there a difference in the one i d/l from nvidia.com and the one ubuntu uses for the resticted?

[13:56] like a chewing microwave [13:56] ok my ubuntu and windows install are both on this hard drive [13:56] but my ubuntu 8.04 only can recognise one kernel [13:56] lusepuster: you don't want every new file you create to be owned by the group you just added yourself to do you? [13:57] who can help me please? [13:57] ZeroA4: oh you're just saying there is a differnece in check and non checked in restricted drivers.. well duh =) [13:57] nosto: ok, is the windows side of things formatted NTFS> [13:57] lusepuster: the default is to use your defaut user group (same name as your user name) [13:57] windows has 74.5 GB and ubuntu the other portion [13:57] hello, could anyone tell me how to play rmvb movies? [13:57] yes [13:57] !ask | blackfail [13:57] blackfail: 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. :-) [13:57] I installed xchat from the package manager but it doesn't look as nice as the one I had before formatting/reinstall... how can I fix this? [13:57] blackfail: What kernel are you using? [13:57] nosto: is it formatted NTFS?

[13:58] kindofabuzz, the driver you download from nvidia.com ie the same of nvida-glx package you find on synaptic and the get installed if you check to enabel it on hardware drivers [13:58] !love [13:58] Love is like racing across the frozen tundra on a snowmobile which flips over, trapping you underneath. At night, the ice-weasels come. [13:58] ok [13:58] amd 2800+ and it is 64bit [13:58] Stop playing with the bot. [13:58] has 2 kernels [13:58] !freebird [13:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about freebird [13:58] kindofabuzz, Just that the driver from nvidia is not package for ubuntu and you have to install it manually [13:58] ActionParsnip: i install compiz settings manager and enabled desktop cube and now i cant even switch desktops ? [13:58] but my os ubuntu 8.04 only can recognise 1 kernel [13:58] jameslr, you are so right! sudo usermod -g username username, then sudo usermod -G groupname username? [13:58] blackfail: I'm not sure what you mean by it can only recognise one kernel. [13:58] kindofabuzz, and of course the one from the repositories is packeaged for ubuntu [13:59] lusepuster: correct [13:59] odinsbane, thx but could u tell me if it's useful or not and if yes the link plz and thx again [13:59] /dev/sda1 [13:59] sec [13:59] /dev/sda1 * 1 9049 72686061 7 HPFS/NTFS [13:59] thats what it looks like [13:59] actionparsnip: after enable cube what do i need to press to rotate the desktop ?

[14:01] nosto: ok [14:01] no boty wants to helo me i feel so sad! [14:01] odinsbane; thx friend [14:01] blackfail, still not sure what you mean by there's no kernel [14:01] nosto: sudo mkdir /mnt/windows; sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows [14:02] i don't mean the linux kernel , that is my cpu kernel [14:02] amd 2800+ [14:02] TiredWolf: hmm Picasa?http://picasa.google.com/linux/ [14:02] 64bit [14:02] !who | blackfail [14:02] blackfail: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [14:02] hi. when copying large files to an external usb drive, the data transger rate is about 5 MB/s. Is this normal or should this be faster? Its a brand new machine so USB 2.0 capable [14:02] jameslr: hm thanks, but i meant in the official repositories (and free) [14:02] oh i know [14:02] ok.. done [14:02] TiredWolf: Picasa is free [14:02] nosto: thats mounted the drive to the folder /mnt/windows [14:02] i have never been there before [14:03] codecowboy: should be okay imho [14:03] now we need an extra line in /etc/fstab for the partition [14:03] blackfail, you mean it's only detecting one cpu core? [14:03] hello [14:03] forever and ever? [14:03] jameslr: not free as linux users usually mean by "free", i'm afraid [14:03] headc4se: I think thats what hes saying... [14:03] jameslr: is it under a free software license? [14:03] i dot know the word of "detecting" [14:03] i look up my dic [14:04] blackfail: it's only "seeing" one cpu core [14:04] TiredWolf: it's not GPL if that's what you mean [14:04] hey guys [14:04] blackfail: what language are you speaking? [14:04] nosto: yes, the fstab is read at boot and stuf is mounted [14:04] jameslr: well, other free licenses would also do, not necessarily GPL... but yeah, open source is what i mean [14:04] The-Compiler, thanks for the reply but I was hoping for a slighlty more technical answer i.e. what is the fastest transfer rate I can reasonably expect? [14:04] TiredWolf: not open sores. [14:04] to resize an ntfs partition that contains your main system [14:05] *is there any way to [14:05] I have this laptop [14:05] it can't boot from cd [14:05] TiredWolf: why so particular? You just need an image viewer. There are many alternatives. Image Magick being one... [14:05] blackfail, what version of ubuntu did you download and install? [14:05] /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows ntfs defaults 0 0 [14:05] i am a chinese [14:05] codecowboy: no idea then, I only know usb is kinda slow compared to ata [14:05] !cn | blackfail [14:05] blackfail: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [14:05] ubuntu 8.04 64bit [14:05] so I had to laboriously install windows then use it to install ubuntu inside of [14:05] nosto: /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows ntfs defaults 0 0 [14:05] thanks [14:05] but now I have a ntfs partition with windows on it [14:05] np ;) [14:05] I use picasa, because I have a google account and I use the picasa web albums. [14:06] nosto: thats the line to mount it each time [14:06] nosto: gksu gedit /etc/fstab [14:06] put it at the bottom of the file [14:06] hishuu, I would use Gparted... it comes on the Ubuntu Desktop CD... you CAN generate a USB drive to boot it [14:06] you may need a carriage return at the end of the line [14:06] I think this laptop is too old to boot from usb [14:06] it can't boot from cd [14:06] The-Compiler, usb 2.0 should perform at 480Mbps but thats megaBITs not megaBYTES. I forget the formula for working out the true speed - its the same for broadband i believe [14:07] it's stupid toshiba weirdness [14:07] cowbud: divided by 8 iirc [14:07] divide it by 8 to get megabytes [14:07] hishuu, but why it cant boot from CD? there is no too old for that! [14:07] hishuu: id check what it can boot from in bios [14:07] jameslr: uh, imagemagick is an image viewer? thought it was only a command-line manipulation program. anyway, i'm looking for some pretty specific combination of features, so i'd like to know about as many alternatives as possible. to give you an idea, i want always-on-screen shot data (shutterspeed, aperture, iso), hopefully superimposed on the image, and zoom locking on multiple images, and lossless JPEG operations, and canon raw [14:07] loading, and over/underexposure highlights... [14:07] it can boot from some cd drives [14:07] hi everyone, i would require some help. My samsung YP-K3 is not mounting on Ubuntu, is there anything i could do about it, to make it work ? [14:07] it only has external via pcmcia [14:07] and it won [14:07] 't boot from that [14:07] TiredWolf: yes its an image manipulator [14:07] TiredWolf: gimp? [14:07] and I have checked bios [14:07] hishuu, did you burned the iso proprelly ? [14:08] yeah, it worked fine under windows [14:08] action thanks for your help [14:08] PucKid: try enabling mtp mode on your mp3 player [14:08] hishuu: you got pcmcia cdrom? [14:08] hishuu, windows DOES not boot CDs [14:08] I'll need you again here in a second in regards to .sh files - and maybe a quick "what the heck" are they [14:08] The-Compiler: not KDE, and hardly really a viewer... i also want something that's a "viewer", i.e. has the usual commands to go to the next and previous image, and hopefully loads fast. [14:08] Conundrum_: okay, i'll google that, i mean google how i can do that, thank you [14:08] windows does have pcmcia drivers though [14:08] The-Compiler, dont you have to multiply it by something 1st before dividing by 8? [14:08] nosto: think windows batch files [14:09] codecowboy: afaik no [14:09] hishuu: you dont install ubuntu from windows [14:09] TiredWolf: hm, okay... [14:09] My Evolution freezes at startup after a forces shutdown. Is there anything I can do without deleting mails/contacts? [14:09] blackfail, i was just poking around online, is it a sempron 2800+ or an athlon 2800+? [14:09] TiredWolf: you can use it fine under kde tho [14:09] hishuu: you have the ubuntu cd in the pcmcia connected drive and boot from it [14:09] The-Compiler: ShowFoto is pretty close, but a bit too confusing [14:09] The-Compiler, ok so I should be getting 60 MB per second, not 5. [14:09] actionparsnip, I understand how to install a distro normally [14:09] The-Compiler: well sure, but that doesn't make it a KDE program. it means it'll load slowly because it needs to fetch GTK, for starters [14:10] this laptop is a stupid special case [14:10] and you can install ubuntu inside a windows environment [14:10] in fact i don't know any more with my PC [14:10] hishuu: then why are you mentioning windows? [14:10] ho [14:10] sex ny1 [14:10] oh where are you form you looks soo cool [14:10] it creates a nested partition on the windows drive [14:10] hishuu: oh you mean with wubi / virtualbox [14:10] henry: wrong channel [14:10] a linux expert?? [14:10] yeah, wubi [14:10] wht 1 shud i use [14:10] + === henry is now known as Guest54877 [14:10] argh sry [14:11] hishuu: get wubi then and install it [14:11] ??? [14:11] blackfail, it it's a sempron 2800+, that could be why you're having issues, the sempron 2800+ is only a 32-bit cpu, while the athlon 2800+ is 64-bit [14:11] !channels > Guest54877 [14:11] guest54877, please see my private message [14:11] !wubi | hishuu [14:11] hishuu: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting.

Atleast that's what i've learned by reading some websites. [14:12] nosto: chmod +x file.sh && sh file.sh [14:12] hishuu: smartbootmanager? it shouldn't really [14:12] nosto: you fill a text file withdetails of the install and save it. It doesnt HAVE to be .sh [14:12] sex. ladys [14:12] it doesn't give me a boot from cd option [14:12] Guest54877, not here [14:12] nor does super grub disc, which I also tried [14:13] nosto: make sure it has !#bin/bash at the top line [14:13] Hi all. My /etc/resolv.conf keeps changign to my routers IP, but I would like it to stay as my local IP as I am running my own DNS. How can I get it to stay as my IP? Thanks :> [14:13] ActionParsnip, nosto: Its #! not !# [14:13] nosto: then chmod u+x [14:13] but if I boot into some kind of operating system I can get pcmcia drivers loaded [14:13] Pici: cheers [14:13] so it'll run the cd drive then [14:13] hence why I had to install it from windows [14:13] wow thats a lot to swallow at once [14:14] hishuu: well you are running it virtually on top of windows [14:14] still a little confused by that [14:14] hishuu, but the smartbm page says, "Installing Ubuntu is normally done by booting the computer with the Ubuntu CD. However, sometimes you'll experience problems booting from the CD-ROM drive. This can be caused by many factors like using an old computer with a BIOS that doesn't support booting from a CD-ROM drive." - so it would seem it's exactly made to boot when your bios can't boot from CD [14:14] nosto: open a text editor and put #!bin/bash at the top [14:15] ActionParsnip: thats most likely unneeded, isn't it? [14:15] nosto: then commands as if you are typing them in the terminal, just like a dos batchscript (.bat) [14:15] well I've copied sbm.bin off the ubuntu cd onto a disk using dd [14:15] and it doesn't provide the option [14:15] The-Compiler: its habit for me [14:15] I'll try again [14:15] nosto: then save it [14:15] hishuu: you mean when smartbm starts, it doesn't have a "cd-rom" option? [14:15] i can't open the file with a text editor because it can't tell the character type [14:15] yeah, none at all [14:15] I'll try it once more, though [14:15] nosto: you have a text file full of commands but it is not executable and therefore not very useful [14:16] hishuu: tried hitting Tab and then "rescan"? [14:16] nosto: so it's a binary. Try "chmod +x file && ./file" [14:16] nosto: should work [14:16] I have, tiredwolf [14:16] but I will try it again [14:16] how do I set my wireless network card into monitoring mode? [14:16] I thought he meant a fresh empty script [14:17] erlend_: for wardriving i.E.? [14:17] The-Compiler: i.E [14:17] and no [14:17] hishuu: does the BIOS recognize the cd drive in the first place? (even though it's not able to boot it) [14:17] no option to boot from cdrom [14:17] TiredWolf: sounds like you're looking for a photoshop replacement then? [14:17] it's pcmcia [14:17] erlend_: you need modified drivers, gimme a moment [14:17] so it doesn't recognise it [14:17] jameslr: uh... no? [14:17] ActionParsnip: nope, he wanted to execute a script === KenBW22 is now known as KenBW2 [14:17] bah [14:17] I can set cdrom i/o base ports [14:18] but I don't know what they are [14:18] I have a problem with my Samsung YP-K3 MP3 player.

[15:22] firefox and xchat-gnome seem to have stopped working today ... I use ubuntu hardy x86_64 and run the hardy-proposed repo (so I can report bugs). Epiphany and thunderbird still work fine. I have tried running both from the command line and they run but don't do anything. No significant cpu usage, no messages to the console, nothing. They don't exit by themselves. I've even tried 'firefox -ProfileManager' but nothing happens. An [15:23] i have problem with my wi fi pen driver to use it on ubuntu 8.04 can help me i have ifconfig iwconfig and interfaces.conf [15:23] Can anyone help me get logs from godirc.com #irchelp to like www.rune-live.com/irclogs [15:24] Hello.

[15:24] i have problem with my wi fi pen driver to use it on ubuntu 8.04 can help me i have ifconfig iwconfig and interfaces.conf [15:24] elsombrero, what is a wifi pen driver [15:24] kschultz: There you go: http://paste.ubuntu.com/29979/ [15:25] napsy - check out trickle: http://debaday.debian.net/2007/05/30/trickle-a-lightweight-userspace-bandwidth-shaper/ [15:25] !info trickel [15:25] Package trickel does not exist in hardy [15:25] :| [15:25] !info trickle [15:25] trickle (source: trickle): user-space bandwidth shaper. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.07-5 (hardy), package size 36 kB, installed size 172 kB [15:25] bazhang is my iwconfig: http://paste.ubuntu.com/29978/ [15:25] * bastid_raZor begins the update from gutsy to hardy [15:25] mish_, tried but it doesn't compile [15:26] elsombrero, what is a wifi pen driver? a pen used to write? not sure what you mean [15:26] wi fi adpater [15:26] a pen to use for internet [15:26] something funky is going on. I have 1 GB of memory, but with only Xchat and teminal running, I have less than 8Mb available. I just did a clean install of 8.04 the other day. Any ideas? [15:26] napsy, it is in the repos [15:26] complile? You can just install it using synaptic or apt-get ... [15:26] bazhang, oh cool I didn't even look there [15:27] kschultz, are you there? [15:27] bazhang is a pen to use internet wi fi connection [15:27] a pen elsombrero not sure what you mean by that [15:27] elsombrero, got a link? [15:27] troythetechguy, run your system monitor and view all processes? [15:28] is there anybody that can help me figure out how to get an ilo mp3 player to work in either windows or linux, to recognize the icon for the mp3 player the way that they both recognize an ipod? [15:28] bazhang it is a usb wi fi adapter [15:28] !Gentoo [15:28] Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [15:28] elsombrero, Access Point: Invalid is it a wep key or what [15:28] elsombrero, what chipset lsusb in terminal paste to paste.ubuntu.com (NOT here) [15:28] hi all [15:28] My system eventually stops playing any sound. How can I fix that? [15:29] hwilde_ i have a wap key [15:29] TuxPWNZ, that is far too little info [15:29] set on my router hwilde_ [15:29] bazhang, it's recognizing the pen as eth2 he just needs to set the ssid and wep key [15:29] elsombrero, you mean wep or wpa [15:29] whos better in \root partition ext3 or reiserfs ??? [15:29] wpa [15:29] !wpa | elsombrero [15:29] elsombrero: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [15:30] bazhang: Can you tell me what else do you need? [15:30] elsombrero, you just need to setup the wpa supplicant with your psk. it's recognizing the pen fine as eth2. I bet if you turn your router into no security it will authenticate right away [15:30] Weird, according to system monitor, only 23% of memory is being used, but according to the "top" command, only 8Mb are Free!~ [15:31] elsombrero, can you try setting your router to no security just to verify the pen is working, then you can figure out how to do wpa [15:31] TuxPWNZ, what are you using? alsa? check alsamixer in terminal? playing flash and music player at same time? need that kind of info. just saying it doesnt work will not get much of an answer [15:31] troythetechguy, memory management in linux is very complex and hard to narrow down to 'free' and 'used'. so tools differ sometimes. [15:31] what you recomend my raiserfs or ext3 ??? for ubuntu [15:31] ext3 bmw [15:31] bmw: ext3, definitely [15:31] /server chat.peercommons.net [15:31] hi everybody, I have an ext3 partition, but I cannot get it working with write acces, I can only read files into it, do anybody know how to fix it? [15:31] whoops [15:31] LittleD-the-grea: no space :) [15:31] Rubin: I can understand they differ somewhat, but this is too big of a difference; something funky is going on. [15:32] whay ext3 ??? [15:32] bmw: it's the standard on most every system, and is tried/tested [15:32] hwilde_ when i write sudo iwlist eth2 scan he say eth2 no scan result [15:32] bmw: there are probably some technical advantages, but really they're irrelevant beyond that fact [15:33] elsomberer, sudo ifconfig eth2 down; sudo ifconfig eth2 up; sudo iwlist eth2 scan is your router broadcasting the ssid? [15:33] bazhang: Yes, for example Amarok, and exaile refuse to play any music. And yeah, I'm usually playing some flash and a music player when this happens. [15:33] ok thanks [15:33] TuxPWNZ, that would be it then [15:33] and what about the / var [15:33] I don't recommend reiserfs simply because there is an inication that it will be less well maintained in the future. [15:33] bazhang: And the only way I could them to work again is be rebooting the system. [15:33] hwilde_ yes but now i paste on pastebin.com ifconfig and interfaces.conf [15:34] bmw: what about /var? [15:34] Development is trailing off on ReiserFS - it's *possible* that we'll see default installs in the future that don't support it. [15:34] bazhang: Is there a way to fix this without having to reboot?? [15:34] i red in reviews i mast put \var in els partition [15:34] bmw you have a support issue or just wish to chat [15:34] :) 2 [15:34] bmw, there is no need to use anything but ext3 unless you have a really good reason [15:34] hwilde_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/29980/ is ifconfig [15:34] any idea of how to fix the write acces to ext3 partition? [15:34] bmw: a lot of more experienced Linux users put /var and /home, and several others on separate partitions or drives for a lot of reasons [15:35] bmw: you probably don't need to worry about it unless you know why [15:35] Is anyone here familiar with "Partimage" ? [15:35] bmw here is support; #ubuntu-offtopic for chit chat [15:35] bmw: if they're on separate drives, it has the advantage of being able to write to both simultaneously [15:35] elsomberer, can you set the router to no security and verify the pen is working [15:36] hey can anyone help me configuring my sound...its not working.. i tried to take help frm the forums but i m getting confused [15:36] mandark, what did you try and what errors did you get [15:36] hwilde_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/29981/ is interfaces.conf [15:36] inmm: in terminal type mount see if it says rw next to that partition [15:36] bazhang: Is there any way to fix this without having to reboot?? [15:36] elsomberer, can you set the router to no security and verify the pen is working [15:37] TuxPWNZ, many folks have that issue; have you tried setting to alsa from autodetect? [15:37] okok [15:37] hwilde_ okok what channel i set? [15:37] hey, how could I install some packages from the live cd on an installed ubuntu? [15:37] bazhang: How's that done? [15:37] TuxPWNZ, in system prefs sound [15:37] hwilde_ okok what channel i set? [15:38] elsombrero2, why are you on here with so many usernames. channel doesn't matter just set it to default 6 [15:38] blindattack, no internet? [15:38] I have a 160 GB HDD. If I want to install 8.04 and have / and /home on separate partitions, with /home containing a virtual machine with Windows as guest OS, is making / = 20GB, and /home = 138 GB, with 2 GB for Swap reasonable? [15:38] no internet on that machine. [15:38] hwilde_ my mirc is closed many times and now i have other username [15:38] troythetechguy, yes [15:38] Will ext3 fragment over time? [15:38] hwilde_ the are'nt clones [15:38] AMDpenguin, no [15:39] bazhang: they told me to find my chipset drivers here http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Main i m getting confused as how 2 find it here [15:39] elsombrero2, anyways, just set your router to something easy and verify the pen works. then debug wpa [15:39] legend2440: /dev/sda3 on /media/sda3 type ext3 (rw) [15:39] Ok i now , i do dis i put the \var and \home in sda3 and sda4 . but when i install Ubuntu 2 time a cant mount the var :) without do format \var who can my say why [15:39] bazhang: can u help me as i m a fresher [15:39] but does it fragment at all? [15:39] hwilde_ i set router with no security and channel 6 is true? [15:39] bazhang: Thanks. I was concerned having a 138GB partition would slow down the machine, or would be too big. [15:39] elsombrero, yeah thats fine [15:39] bazhang: Okay, done it, and it worked! :D [15:39] AMDpenguin, I told you already, please move on [15:39] hwilde_ thanks a lots [15:39] i will just ask in #linux [15:40] hwilde_ thanks very very very much [15:40] now i try it [15:40] any ops around? can you kick elsomberer and elsombrero ghosts? it's f'ing up my tab complete [15:40] bazhang: Now, one more thing, Amarok refusing to start. [15:40] bazhang: they told me to find my chipset drivers here http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Main i m getting confused as how 2 find it here [15:40] bazhang: can u help me as i m a fresher [15:40] but a haw many cache in the \ var and i dont wont luse them :( [15:40] troythetechguy, I have a 200GB partition and no slowness detected yet :) [15:40] bmw, make backups before touching your partitions!! [15:41] TuxPWNZ, try from terminal and pastebin any errors to paste.ubuntu.com (NOT here) [15:41] inmm: browse to the /media/sda3 folder and right click>properties>permissions check the permissions for that folder [15:41] bazhang: they told me to find my chipset drivers here http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Main i m getting confused as how 2 find it here [15:41] bazhang: can u help me as i m a fresher [15:41] mandark, what chipset [15:41] do anybody know how to get acces to an ext3 partition? [15:41] inmm, from windows? [15:42] inmm: yes [15:42] bazhang: Intel D945GCL [15:42] mandark, sound?

[15:43] blindattack, could you paste sources.list to paste.ubuntu.com [15:43] bazhang, SigmaTel [15:43] bazhang: Okay, from the terminal, Amarok still doesn't start, and no errors appeared to too. However the terminal is still busy executing my command.
