[00:00] I note this behavior by (lack of) performance, and when I have nvclock tell me what my clocks are, they are still at stock [00:00] Abed: it's not likely going to work in Ubuntu, but perhaps it will before it boots, e.g. at the grub menu [00:00] Drk_Guy I dont use, nothing works. I have been trying for days. [00:00] I'm wondering if the terminal is the same as python, bash, ssh, and if any one can help me with some basic stuff in a private chat? [00:00] linuxfce, Why you want to overclock that hard? [00:00] argh....but I don't wanna do WinXP install AGAIN.... [00:00] ok if someone could help me [00:00] Compiz fusion performance [00:00] im a hardcore noob [00:01] help:I lost my square brackets on my macbook. Can|t get them to work anymore.. did the reconfigure xorg but still the same.. can anyone help me? [00:01] soundray where the grub menu how to access it [00:01] piratelordx: Very well, how may we be of service? [00:01] linuxfce, fusion-icon, compiz options, indirect rendering works like a charm [00:01] Compiz fusion functions horribly with powermizer enabled. Nvidia decided to restrict my ability to disable powermizer as well. [00:01] Hello everyone [00:01] i can not load the webpage for my online college courses [00:01] linuxfce, it gives a 2x FPS boost here [00:01] Drk_Guy not on this card, not with powermizer enabled. [00:01] Abed: early in the boot, there is a message that says 'hit Esc for grub menu' or similar [00:01] I know all the tricks for compiz fusion settings. [00:02] piratelordx: which page? [00:02] linuxfce, how do i check if powermizer is enabled? [00:02] Drk_Guy nvidia-settings [00:02] oec.kaplan.edu [00:02] ok i will test and brb [00:02] piratelordx: so you can't login? what does it say? [00:02] kk [00:02] thnx [00:03] I guess that's all for tonight, folks. I better go to bed, good night [00:03] anyone got warcraft3 running perfectly? It will run for me, but there is graphics lag at all times [00:03] Drk_Guy Powermizer is always taking my 400/600 stock and dropping it to 169/100. Try running CF on that. [00:03] How do I get amarok to show (or jump to) current track on a long list playlist? [00:03] I am having issues with the Linux version of pSX, the playstation emulator, the playstation loading screen comes up just fine but when i click on the menus of pSX the playstation screen overlays it and i cannot see the items [00:03] linuxfce, go to my pm [00:03] zoreau: What drivers are you using? [00:04] piratelordx: i take online classes as well. and i have to (unfortunately) use IEs4Linux to display some of the websites... [00:04] also i have tried different browsers and i disabled ipv6 [00:04] piratelordx: So again, can you log in? [00:05] How do I get amarok to show (or jump to) current track on a long list playlist? [00:05] i can but it wont load images and it takes like 15 minutes [00:05] cheers to all :) newbie here ! [00:05] ivanvollvik: heya. [00:05] that is I AM the newbie :P [00:05] bobert: im not sure, i have some crappy built in card [00:05] piratelordx: It loads just fine for me. === gur3n is now known as guren [00:05] piratelordx: maybe your connection... [00:06] I have a web application which uses mysql,php . how do I scale it, one server is not enough so what do I do now? do ask this question in another channel (if yes, tell me which)? [00:06] piratelordx: the login page loads fine for me too... [00:06] bobertdos are u running hardy?? and what vers of firefox [00:06] but its good enough that it should be able to run WC3 without lag, the amount Im getting now isridiculous [00:06] Hey guys, I'm having a problem with the embedded terminal that I set up through http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2007/08/howto-completely-transparent-shell-on.html. Whenever the terminal is set up, it reduces its window size to an impossibly small 5x6 window. Does anyone know why this is happening? I followed the instructions to a T, the terminal does what I want it to do, it just retracts to this size every time. [00:06] > hey could someone check this for me? http://pastebin.on.nimp.org/A3CE8B5 [00:06] zoreau: Ooh yeah, integrated video really complicates things. [00:06] where can I find random deb files? [00:06] Not in scope: data constructor `A3CE8B5' [00:06] DONT CLICK THAT ?wakenjenk's LINK [00:06] piratelordx: Yes, I'm running Hardy, latest kernel, Firefox 3.0.1 [00:06] Er, just don't click it. === suselin is now known as gway9000 [00:07] Pici: Why? [00:07] Pici: You get me interested [00:07] soundray i used the ESC button but i got a menu which tells me to choose an OS so i didn't know wut to do [00:07] bobertdos: its an intel corp mobile 945GM [00:07] anyone ever flashed their bios with openbios ?? [00:07] zhaozhou: Because its not a pastebin site, its a shock site. [00:07] Abed: hit the Fn key combination for bluetooth [00:07] Pici: Right. [00:07] shock site? [00:07] could it be a problem with my router?? [00:08] ivanvollvik: Something like goatze. [00:08] is there a way I can test to make sure my video card is working right [00:08] soundray i got nth [00:08] soundray i hit the FN and the wireless shortcut but nth works [00:08] Hi, I got an ubuntu server (8.04). I've got a crontab "* * * * * command > /tmp/file". When I do "ls /tmp/", it is empty. Seems like the command doesn't get executed. Any ideas? [00:09] I also tried the command manually, works fine. [00:09] Wow that was annoying [00:09] zhaozhou: yeah [00:09] ok. i;m out... i got a headache... :( [00:10] apo: is it in the user or root crontab? did you use crontab -e to edit it? you're expecting it to run every minute? [00:10] Too many people joining and quitting this channel... [00:10] mattspry: user crontab, I did use crontab -e, and yes. [00:11] !info video card [00:11] Got no irssi-theme to hide it either. [00:11] zhaozhou: get a bigger display? [00:11] !quietirssi | zhaozhou [00:11] zhaozhou: Thats why I ignore it. [00:11] zhaozhou: you cna always ignore it [00:11] 'card' is not a valid distribution [00:11] amenado: you suggest putting GRUB on sda2. how will I be able to put into Ubuntu with WinXP in control of the MBR? [00:11] zhaozhou: To ignore joins, parts, quits in irssi: /ignore #ubuntu +JOINS +PARTS +QUITS === nl|away is now known as nl [00:12] can anyone here help me in pv?? im havin some webpage issues lol [00:12] zhaozhou: /IGNORE #ubuntu ALL -PUBLIC -ACTIONS [00:12] <|Louis> how can we create .txt's in ubuntu? [00:12] <|Louis> Hi!!! how can we create .txt's in ubuntu? [00:12] |Louis: use an editor [00:12] |Louis: touch file.txt [00:13] Louis, "touch" [00:13] createa new filea and rename it to .txt ?? is simple man, really [00:13] <|Louis> o.O [00:13] |Louis: or echo something to a .txt or cat > blah.txt etc... there are tons of ways [00:13] hi [00:13] you don't need a .txt extension in linux since all files are txt anyways pretty much [00:13] |Louis: what are you trying to do exactly? [00:13] I am trying to figure out where did the Info documentation for emacs go [00:13] i cant load my online college course when i use ubuntu [00:13] ?? [00:13] emacs21 had the dfsg package [00:13] histo: it was just black window [00:13] <|Louis> histo: I wanna load a .txt as a mIRC script [00:13] but this is emacs22 [00:13] ? [00:13] piratelordx: wat it says? [00:14] |Louis: ? you using mirc in ubuntu? [00:14] <|Louis> histo: yes [00:14] |Louis: well try applications > Accessories > text editor [00:14] To ignore joins, parts, quits in irssi: /ignore #ubuntu +JOINS +PARTS +QUITS <--- is it the same in xchat? [00:14] mattspry: No ideas either, huh? [00:14] piratelordx: online course? use the User Agent addon for firefox and see if that works [00:14] |Louis: or if you are in a terminal nano whatever.txt [00:14] apo: sorry, what's the question? [00:14] mattspry: crontab ;0 [00:14] ;)* [00:15] Abed: still here? [00:15] dokwerk: Not sure if xchat has ingores [00:15] I just use irssi [00:15] /ignore #ubuntu +JOINS +PARTS +QUITS [00:15] anyone with dns problems here ? [00:15] /ignore #ubuntu +JOINS +PARTS +QUITS [00:15] yeah soundray but reading a manual for toshiba [00:15] man Gov't Mule rocks! Warren is a God. =) [00:15] Abed: have you seen this: http://www.schwieters.org/toshset/ [00:15] kindofabuzz: erm... I think that's offtopic. [00:15] apo: ahh yes, i would try changing the * * * * * around until you get it. also, check the syntax in crontab very carefully and consult the crontab manpage. [00:15] Once again - where is the info documentation in emacs22? [00:15] the FN works with the brightness buttons but not the rest [00:16] yeah it was [00:16] it happens [00:16] soundray thnx i will check it out now [00:16] apo: also, are you sure cron is actually running? is it outputting to the cron log? [00:16] mattspry: The syntax is just fine. And you can't exactly get any more hits than with 5x* :/ [00:16] does anyone hereh ave awn installed? I have it installed and when i open a new new window, it opens a new icon on the awn task manager, instead It should open a list of the same types of windows when clicking on that icon like the mac os, did i do something wrong? [00:16] Is there a app like Network Magic for Ubuntu? [00:16] mattspry: Where's the cron log? [00:16] Where is the official site of gfxboot? [00:16] apo: true, i just remember i had a similar problem and i had a small syntax error [00:16] dokwerk: No, in xchat you can either right click the channel and turn them off (uncheck the box) or /set irc_conf_mode 1 to turn it off in all channels [00:16] /var/log/syslog? [00:17] Abed: you'd have to download there software and make it run on your computer. It's not as easy as installing an Ubuntu package, but it should be feasible. [00:17] Can anyone else provide some insight into where GRUB should be installed? [00:17] apo: yes, i think so, unless you have changed the syslog.conf [00:17] !grub > routinet [00:17] routinet, please see my private message [00:17] routinet: hd0 [00:17] routinet, normally the mbr [00:17] Hi, I use a macbook with hardy. in the login window I can type shit+alt+8 and 9 and get the square bracket. but not when Im logged in. but the xorg.conf file is loaded when the user login window is right? or what did I do wrong? [00:17] Flannel thx a lot [00:17] Hi, does anyone know a channel i can go to for ppl who are new to linux [00:17] Abed: unfortunately, I can't guide you because I'm logging off now. Hope you can get it to work, I'm sure you'll find someone to answer your questions if you describe your problem exactly. [00:18] shad, this one's probably the best [00:18] thnx soundray [00:18] shad: especially if you're on Ubuntu [00:18] apo: tail -f /var/log/messages [00:18] for the default syslog install [00:18] shad: try /list *linux* [00:18] u were very helpful [00:18] oh we're on ubuntu; i forgot.... [00:18] shad: to get a list of channels containing that word [00:18] hateme257 [00:18] and you wont mind if i ask newbie questions [00:18] Goll, I can't believe I did that. [00:18] mattspry: I'm redirecting the cron stuff now, doing a tail -f on the logs. [00:18] shad: we will, but it won't show ;) [00:18] does the new nvidia 260 and 280 have support in ubuntu ? and is ATI drivers etc advanced enough to somewhat game and so forth under linux, im trying to figure out nvidia vs ATI prices - and preformance - is 9800 > 260 ? very hard to choose [00:18] shad, as long as you don't mind ubotu !answers [00:18] mattspry: That should give me results in a minute :) [00:18] apo: i am bouncing between #gentoo and here, forgive me for the mixup :) [00:19] mattspry: Sure, thanks for helping :) [00:19] anyone here use Mupen64plus? i'm having issues trying to compile it [00:20] thats nice to know.. anyway I am shad and i just installed xubuntu on a old laptop a few days ago. And i just got it working on my home internet.. I am so chuffed [00:20] hey guys i have a question, random files have been popping up on my computer, and i want to know stuff about them so i can try to figure out where they are coming from ? [00:20] !yay | shad [00:20] shad: Glad you made it! :-) [00:20] how do i get file info? [00:20] thank you :) [00:20] shelbyscates: What sort of info? [00:21] HyperStream: are you going to do anything that requires a high end video card anyway? [00:21] i dunno, the user that made it, when it was made, etc? [00:21] <|Louis> Hi, how can we load a script under Ubuntu6 [00:21] <|Louis> on mIRC [00:21] shelbyscates: ls -al /path/to/file [00:21] histo: I've read through several sets of instructions, but they all assume I'm installing Windows after Ubuntu. I already have WinXP on the drive, and Ubuntu is asking me where to put GRUB. The choices are sda, sda1 (WINXP), sda2 (/), sda5 (ntfs data) [00:21] shelbyscates: check out 'ls -l filename' and 'file filename' [00:21] ok [00:21] HyperStream: a friend of mine ordered this cool new high end computer, but his 'old' one was capable of doing anything he wanted [00:22] routinet: sda [00:22] he just 'wanted' a new computer.. =/ [00:22] routinet: if you want to replace you mbr it should be putting it on sda [00:22] routinet: sda [00:22] routinet: I don't knwo why its even asking you. [00:22] good lord I hope so...doing WinXP install #3 is not what I had planned this evening. :/ [00:22] <|Louis> Hi, how can we load a script under mIRC on ubuntu? [00:22] Okay, so forgive me for the uber dumb question, but why are all my files that I transfer from back up dvds to my HD locked? [00:23] |Louis: You'd do it however you do it in mIRC [00:23] Im having an issue with pSX the playstation emulator, can anyone help? [00:23] <|Louis> no, Flannel [00:23] <|Louis> the script editor is unavaiable [00:23] Steamtech: I used ePSXe or something, it worked for me [00:23] routinet: even if it doesn't work, don't reinstall straight away. If grub doesn't have a boot entry for Windows, it's just a matter of editing /boot/grub/menu.lst [00:23] |Louis: alt-r for the scripts editor? [00:23] hello everyone... is it possible to make icons transparent with compiz? [00:23] mattspry: The cron log says nothing at all after a restart. [00:23] Anyone? [00:23] soundray: understood...I'll keep you posted [00:24] ok I got my Warcraft 3 to work without video lag, i just had to add '-opengl' to the end of the wine cmd line [00:24] anyone know where all the configuration data for AWN is stored? every time i reinstall it i get my old settings, settings that are very broken. i want to delete them when i reinstall.. [00:24] Voxicles: locked how? read only? [00:24] |Louis: mIRC is not in Ubuntu, none of us have any knowledge on how it works. You should ask the mIRC people. If you think the problem is related to wine (somethign that works in windows isn't working through wine), ask in #winehq [00:24] routinet: no you won't :) I'll drop in my bed now [00:24] does anyone know if it is possible to get thunderbird to work with the globalmenu-applet [00:24] <|Louis> routinet: It crashes mIRC when you attempt to open the Script Editor, in any way. [00:24] whta: probably ~/.awn or ~/.avant [00:24] lol...FINE...abandon me.. [00:24] muffy: I'm not sure, whenever I transfer them, there is a lock symobl on the fodlers and what not, and I can't rename them or anything [00:24] |Louis you running mIRC in wine? i have that problem too, if i open my script editor, it just closes lol [00:24] but not my problem is that the top gnome bar shows through into the WC3 screen--anyone know how to fic this [00:24] flannel: I checked all the obvious places, nothing there [00:24] is it possible to make icons transparent with compiz? [00:25] whta: ~/.config/awn [00:25] |Louis: then you're screwed (?)....have you tried reinstalling mirc? [00:25] tech0007: i deleted that, but when i reinstall awn, i still get my old settings [00:25] whta: try ~/.config/awn [00:25] CShadowRun: there are native linux clients, irssi, xchat (mirc like) and many others, you chould check them out. [00:25] zoreau: are you running on full screen mode? [00:25] Voxicles: but you can view them? As in view pics/movies [00:25] guren: yes [00:25] Blacklight and absolutely none of them support window tiling. [00:25] flannel: as stated, i deleted that, but when i reinstall awn, i still get my old settings [00:25] Voxicles: Because all optical disks, writable or not, are read-only sources. When you transfer those files to Ubuntu, it keeps those read-only permissions intact. [00:26] Blacklight apart from irssi which half supports it (horizontal and not verticle) [00:26] |Louis: /load -rs to load a script [00:26] CShadowRun: perhaps you can write a perl or python script to do the job for you? [00:26] whta: try ~/.gconf/apps/avant-window-navigator/ [00:26] Bobertdos, can I fix that? Seems they transfer off od the dvd fine in xp :-/ [00:26] zoreau: hmm i've tried that before without any probs..hmm can you try to press ctrl+alt+d twice while running wacraft? [00:26] Hello, i have a doubt about c++, can anybody here help me? [00:26] Blacklight i'm 156 lines in, xchat addon. [00:26] ok ill try [00:26] marcelo_: ##c++ would be a better place to ask [00:26] Blacklight but for now running mIRC in a VM, lol [00:26] mattspry: It executes root crontabs, but no user crontabs. [00:27] tech0007: many thanks, didn't see that. i'll give it a try [00:27] <__yy> marcelo_: ##c++ can help you [00:27] CShadowRun: lol nice.... === tobe is now known as TobeMan [00:27] I can't even delete them after I copy them off the dvd === nl is now known as nl|away [00:27] CShadowRun: Im using weechat now. its like mirc/xchat, and some irssi also. [00:27] Blacklight window tiling? [00:27] _yy Thanks, i would like to now is these sentences are the same: [00:28] Voxicles: The only thing you can do is change the permissions once those files are on your drive. This is most easily accomplished using chmod in the terminal. [00:28] CShadowRun: not that I know of, uless you open two windows :P [00:28] bobertdos, can you direct me to a guide for that? [00:28] how can I install a package ignoring its dependencies? [00:28] Blacklight lol, linux needs more tiling :P [00:28] i write a sentence this way: TH1F *h1 = new TH1F("h1","h1 title",100,0,4.4); [00:28] !chmod > Voxicles [00:28] CShadowRun: we need folks like you to write the code for us is what we need :D [00:28] Voxicles, please see my private message [00:28] i followed the directions to fx the bug in the install with the en_AU.UTF-8 but it fauled a dependency in ubuntu-minimal [00:29] is this fatal? [00:29] bobertdos, Thanks :-) [00:29] Blacklight working on it xD [00:29] and in two lines like that: TH1F *h1; [00:29] or will it be ok to restart and fix it? [00:29] guren: didnt work,a it actually fucked up all the graphics and made it worse, and didnt fix the bars showing through [00:29] and in the other line: h1 = new TH1F("h1","h1 title",100,0,4.4); [00:29] <__yy> marcelo_: there is no difference [00:30] ok, thanks _yy [00:30] zoreau: i see.. it usually fixes my full screen problems on other apps though.. [00:31] <__yy> marcelo_: but in general you should be using something like boost::shared_ptr or something similar instead of raw pointers if your are coding C++ [00:31] i hardly never use this xchat, i don't know how exacly to use it. [00:31] ooh I figureditout--had to disable compiz, also ihatemy brokenspacebar [00:31] marcelo_, You seem to be doing just fine [00:32] !offtopic | Just a friendly reminder [00:32] ?

[00:40] So basically do I jsut type in root in the usrname box and I don't type in a password [00:40] __yy: ahh, i need python as well [00:40] Blacklight: you just answered yourself, perhaps you should but wont kill you or your system to try out adesklet, awn etc [00:40] <__yy> Dethlok: you should be able to apt-get that as well [00:40] __yy: ok tyvm [00:41] Inuzuka_Skysword: Yeah, that's what I would try. It's still weird though. You don't normally get a login screen with the live session. [00:41] Inuzuka_Skysword: where di you get the cd? You shouldn't have to log in on a ubuntu live cd. [00:41] ive tried awn, but in fluxbox its kinda of like umm nealy the same thing. [00:41] I ordered it from the main site. [00:41] <__yy> Dethlok: or you can use the synaptic package manager to search for/install it if you're more comfortable in a GUI. apt-get and synaptic get packages from the same place, so It's not like you're missing anything using one or the other [00:41] I got a 64 bit, which is what I am using [00:41] Inuzuka_Skysword: from ubuntu.com? [00:42] tried jwn not bad on puppy like the themes for it especially the windows one [00:42] yeah [00:42] I would think the live cd ordered from the website would come with atleast some very basic of instructions. [00:42] __yy: ok, i already have v2.5 but for somereason the adesklets doesn't see it [00:43] Inuzuka_Skysword: do you have another cd drive in your computer? [00:43] Blacklight: nope the livecd is basic enough also the ubuntu site explains things quite well [00:43] I only have one [00:43] Hey baby ride with me away [00:43] Inuzuka_Skysword: Then the cd is defective you can try ubuntu with a blank password [00:43] We doesn't have much time [00:43] how do I change usplash themes manually? startupmanager crashes whenever I try to add themes. [00:43] Inuzuka_Skysword: but it shouldn't ask. [00:43] my blue jeans is tight [00:43] <__yy> Dethlok: I can't help you with that, sorry. That's an adesklets specific problem, and I've never used adesklets. [00:43] !bot splash AnimatedBox [00:43] histo: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:43] Alright I am gonna try and do it again. [00:43] so onto my love rocket climb [00:43] !splash > AnimatedBox [00:43] AnimatedBox, please see my private message [00:43] I will be back if it does not work.

Strange things tend to happen to the people who come to our forums :D [00:44] lol is he/she on drugs [00:44] __yy: ok, well i would just use gdesklets but it says it cant connect to the server? [00:44] lol [00:44] Pici: but it adds fun-ness to the channel :D [00:44] Pici: How is he masking his ident like that? [00:44] histo: gnome-splashscreen-manager specifically DOES NOT WORK. It crashes whenever I add themes. How do I do it manually? [00:44] hey guys [00:45] AnimatedBox: I don't know [00:45] histo: thanks anyway [00:45] i am reading an article about toshiba but when i got here i didn't know wut to do "Configure the kernel - For a 2.6 series kernel, you'll find the driver located at: Power management options / ACPI Support / Toshiba Laptop Extras " how can i access this? [00:45] or maybe I should go to bed, it's 0145 here =p [00:45] muffy: Please take the chatter to #ubuntu-offtopic [00:45] im out too much madness here everyone seems to be doing well and hi Pici :) [00:45] Abed: which distro is this? [00:45] Skorzen: How may we help you? [00:45] <__yy> Dethlok: sorry, I've never used gdesklets either. I would guess it probably means it can't connect to your X server (the thing that manages window resources for you) but I don't know how to fix it. [00:45] ubuntu [00:45] anyone know how to run the mySql shell after installing ? [00:46] Pici: true, I always hang out there, and I suppose I got used to it, will keep my keyboard shut here <3 [00:46] muffy: can you pm me. [00:46] Blacklight i am using ubuntu but i dunno which is in the article [00:46] Just a curiosity: if i wanna find an installed program i go to synaptic and type its name. So, how do i do it through cli? [00:46] Abed: and your trying to configure a kernel in ubuntu? [00:46] Blacklight yeah why? [00:47] Blacklight I can't? [00:47] __yy: ok, thank you for the clues =) [00:47] Skorzen: apt-cache search [name] [00:47] Abed: sure you can, [00:47] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [00:47] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [00:47] help? [00:47] Skorzen: 'dpkg --list | grep [app]' [00:47] Skorzen: apt-cache --installed search [00:47] cheryle: run dpkg --configure -a then [00:47] cheryle: run sudo dpkg --configure -a [00:47] thanks both :-) [00:48] gonna try both commands [00:48] Blacklight so dude in the article it says i can locate the driver at Power management options > ACPI ---- [00:48] Skorzen: if its not installed yet, use apt-cache search [00:48] Blacklight so were is it? [00:48] can anyone help me with a wireless problem, it keeps quitting suddenly and i have to keep clicking on nm-applet and setting it the my network over and over [00:48] * Baby_Shambl3s bye all going bed i cant look at the screen any longer [00:48] tech0007: ok, thanks! ;-) [00:48] it should be in the kernel configuration options. [00:48] does ubuntu have an equivalent to the windows device manager? [00:48] __yy: maybe it's because i'm 64 bit? [00:48] anyone know how to run the mySql shell after installing ? [00:48] * Blacklight has to go back to compiling freebsd kernels for a minute... [00:49] tensei: mysql is the command-line client [00:49] Tensei: just run mysql? [00:49] <__yy> Dethlok: I don't think that should affect it really [00:49] does anyone know how to add a new usplash theme without using gnome-splashscreen-manager? [00:49] <__yy> Dethlok: that matters more for things like drivers [00:49] __yy: oh ok [00:49] routinet: where do i find it? I went to ect/mysql and don't want to run the wrong thing [00:49] Abed: unfortunately I can't remember. [00:49] apo: that one seems to list all the programs containing the word i've searched [00:49] apo: from where? [00:49] anyone [00:49] Tensei: What? Just type mysql in your shell of choice...

[00:56] thnx legend2440 [00:56] nickrud, tyvm - smokie, you will want to use gparted. it's still a bit technical but much better than using mkfs and editing your fstab.

[01:02] harpreet: it's already set as US... [01:02] Is there anyone experienced at building kernels? [01:02] harpreet: I tried looking up my keyboard instead of the generic.. but it didn't have the model.. [01:02] I want to customize my own kernel [01:03] !kernel | Drk_Guy (there are many howto's, and the doc dir in the kernel source, have fun ;) [01:03] Tensei: where did u try looking for a model? [01:03] Drk_Guy (there are many howto's, and the doc dir in the kernel source, have fun ;): The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [01:03] It took me almost a week to figure out where realplayer had changed all the file associations and set them back the last time I used it (which was a long time ago.. I swore after that experience I would never, ever install it again on any machine, under any OS) [01:04] Blacklight: I can imagine hence id write it Anew [01:04] zcat[1]: u learned the hard way [01:04] harpreet: system, keyboard, layouts [01:04] harpreet: keyboard model [01:04] that was back about redhat 5 iirc... a long time ago. But from what I hear, it's no better today anyway. [01:04] tech0007 : I'm looking there,thanks [01:04] Tensei: use system hal device manager [01:04] Blacklight: Let me check how many lines ive written so far this week... [01:05] harpreet: how do i get to that? [01:05] i am reading an article but it says go to /usr/src/linux but i can't find the linux folder so wut's wrong??? [01:06] Blacklight: 2315 [01:06] lines of C [01:06] IslasCufuego: Ive written about that many lines in IRC. [01:06] Abed, you're trying to compile a kernel. It's not 1990 anymore.. you very likely do not need to compile a kernel. [01:06] does that count for something [01:06] Abed, you need to have the linux-headers package installed [01:06] system>preferences>keyboard [01:06] hit the "mouse keys" tab [01:06] uncheck the box "allow to control the pointer using keyboard" [01:06] Nickrud, does it take too much time? AMD Sempron 3800+ 2.2 Ghz, 2 GB RAM [01:06] why do i get 'omitting directory' when i try to copy a directory [01:06] Tensei: system>preferences>keyboard [01:06] hit the "mouse keys" tab [01:06] uncheck the box "allow to control the pointer using keyboard" [01:06] harpreet: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:06] Abed /usr/src/linux is just a link of /usr/src/linux-headers-xxxxx [01:07] Drk_Guy it takes a while; the real fun is identifying and pruning all the stuff you don't need for that machine. You can pare it down quite a bit, and then compilation isn't long at all [01:07] unop i have the headers [01:07] Blacklight: sure does. However, the accurracy is probably less then 100% on irc right ? :=) [01:07] harpreet: ya it worked. dude your the man [01:07] thanks! [01:07] so create the link [01:07] lol more like 15% [01:07] or directly use the headers.. [01:07] hehe [01:07] i know [01:07] nickrud, Can you help me strip my kernel down? [01:08] nickrud, I want a lighter kernel [01:08] Abed, installing that package ensures that the directory is created/symlinked [01:08] Drk_Guy, shouldn't you be running gentoo then? --funroll-loops! [01:08] nickrud, i've never done this before [01:08] unop how can i install it? [01:08] zcat[1], gentoo is a kludge [01:09] Abed, sudo aptitude install linux-headers linux-headers-$(uname -r) [01:09] Drk_Guy no, it's not something I'm real strong at. I stopped doing my own around 2.6.3 or so, a few years ago. I'd have to study it all again. And it's not a big deal, just keep your ubuntu kernels. You will learn loads, really [01:09] nickrud, the only real advantage of compiling custom kernels is speed? [01:09] is there cell phone software for linux? [01:10] hey, I'm having a problem with my internet connection, it runs about 1/10th of what is does in windows on the same box and I don't have compiz running, anyone have any idea what's going on? [01:10] Drk_Guy not even that, really. It's more a status thing now, the way the kernel's been modularied [01:10] Drk_Guy, compiling your own kernel doesn't necessarily make it faster - you have to customize it for your setup/hardware [01:10] unop i already have them but not linux [01:10] the only advantage of compiling custom kernels is ... ummm... nothing really [01:10] Does anyone know how I get 64 bit gfxboot themes, or if there even is such a thing? I installed gfxboot and it apparently works, but every theme I throw at it is an "invalid file." OR, can someone find the 64 bit version of grub-gfxboot version 0.97-5 (or higher)? [01:10] * Drk_Guy sends kernel dir to .trash [01:10] unop nevermind i would like to configure the kernel do u know how? [01:10] Abed, reinstall them. sudo aptitude reinstall linux-headers linux-headers-$(uname -r) [01:10] Hehehe [01:11] Abed: did you download toshet? is that the one your using? [01:11] AnimatedBox, It's the same thing [01:11] "I run a custom kernel, I'm l33t!!" [01:11] Blacklight: maybe next week you can talk to some _true_ experts in computings [01:11] AnimatedBox, They're basically images [01:11] Abed, why do you need to configure the kernel? [01:11] i used to compile my own kernel when it was still 2.2.xx, when my sound device isnt supported yet [01:11] nickrud, --funroll-loops FTW!!! [01:11] legend2440 i use toshset but required kernel toshiba support not enabled. [01:11] Drk_Guy: are you sure you aren't thinking of splash screens? [01:11] AnimatedBox, And, you can get that with stock grub, you just need Startup manager [01:11] -funroll-loops is not a good optimization flag [01:11] zcat[1] yeah, yeah, yeah ;) [01:11] unop i just need to do that [01:11] any way to prevent my mouse from going from one monitor to the other without me pressing a key or something? in other words - can i lock my cursor to one screen? [01:11] AnimatedBox, I'm sure [01:12] unop do u know?? [01:12] Abed, unless you have a real need to - don't -- it's not something you can just walk through [01:12] Abed: yes i know. but are you using toshet that you downloaded? [01:12] Drk_Guy: ok, well, how do I get the message.* files to work with gfxboot? Why would it say "invalid files" for just me? [01:12] lengend2440 i can't use it [01:12] unop don't worry just tell me [01:12] Blacklight: But they are like "Yawn" .. Integral calculus^foobar .. etc :=) .. extremely bright ones that fall asleep on basic stuff like squarerotts etc etc that the laymen think is "Omg! im the bong:P" [01:13] AnimatedBox, Startup Manager works fine, no menu.lst editing hassles [01:13] Abed: ok my point is there is a version of toshet in Synaptics. have you installed that and tried it? [01:13] AnimatedBox, If you REALLY want the gub-gfxboot that way, get it's sources and compile off [01:13] legend2440 no i used the apt-get [01:14] Drk_Guy: I would do that, but I can't find the source code for my life. Any help? [01:14] unop plz!! [01:14] Abed, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [01:14] Drk_Guy: sadly, startup manager does NOT work fine. It crashes whenever I add anything, which is a different problem I'm. Anyway, startup manager is for the progress bar splash screen. Gfxboot, which I'm working on, is for the grub menu. [01:14] Abed: thats the same thing , i just didn't know if you were aware it was in synaptic [01:14] AnimatedBox, sudo apt-get install startup-manager [01:14] Drk_Guy: I already have startupmanager to know that it crashes when I use it... [01:15] can't someone help me with my internet problem?

Maybe the auther expects you to have ALL the archives downloaded before extracting? [01:46] i was reading one of the forums google pages for bibble [01:46] gaelfx_: let me check [01:46] ahadiel: possibly! [01:46] Tensei, I'm thinking that the auther decided to just split 1 archive into x parts. [01:46] hey every one [01:46] how do i switch channel in irssi? [01:46] Cabs get a tar.gz or deb, stay away from rpms. They can be altered, but they often break systems [01:46] Cabs: Ubuntu is debian-based, so if they have a deb file, it should work fine, but I don't know how to install rpms in Ubuntu [01:46] zakke: alt + number [01:46] git is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 7 not upgraded.

It had trouble reading a few bad sectors but otherwise was fine. [01:48] Tensei: try this : wget -c http://devzone.zend.com/node/view/id/php101-14.zip [01:48] Cabs: also, make sure that it's the right one for your system, if you're using AMD64 ubuntu, you'll want that package, if x86... you get the idea [01:49] Tensei: in terminal [01:49] does Xorg get stupidly large for anyone else? like having a resident size of 2.4g? [01:49] what happened to me. I was using a dell xps m1530 and i hit the home button aka the "self destruct computer button" [01:49] does anyone know how to fix tty1-6 font size [01:49] and it screwed up my master boot record [01:49] im hoping i can go and recover my data (mostly a bunch of digital art i did) [01:50] hey, everyone, I need help fixing my net connection, it runs at about 1/10th the speed compared to windows, and compiz isn't running, so I don't kow what the problem is, can anyone help please?

[01:50] hey, nm-applet isn't showing the "VPN" menu, even after i installed the openvpn plugin and rebooted as well [01:50] isnt the main first users password is the root password? [01:50] smokie: no [01:50] ryot-desktop, gpart (not gparted) might help.. you run that, it figures out how the partition table should look, and then you recreate that with fdisk [01:50] ryot-desktop: if its jst the mbr, your data shld be safe [01:50] smokie: Ubuntu has the root account locked, it has no password (and can't log in) [01:50] i really hope so [01:50] how do i get git working? [01:50] Flannel, so how can i install things when i ssh to it? [01:51] gaelfx_: what do i do once i got the deb file? [01:51] ryot-desktop: if your harddrive is failing,that's somethin else [01:51] ryot-desktop, assuming you mean 'mbr and partition table' -- if it's just the MBR it should come up as a slave drive no problem at all [01:51] Flannel: I thought he said he was trying to SU, so it should be that password [01:51] Cabs: open it up! you should be able to just double-click it [01:51] sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture <>.deb? [01:51] gaelfx_, yeah, im trying to su [01:51] <__yy> what's the apt-whatever command I can use to print out all of the files installed by a package? [01:51] gaelfx_, not ssh to root or something like that [01:51] smokie: you don't have capslock on or anything like that? [01:51] gaelfx_: su doesn't work. [01:52] smokie: su will not work. You need to use sudo instead [01:52] gaelfx_, no i dont [01:52] gaelfx_: no compiling, no udo dpkg -i --force-architecture <>.deb ? just double click [01:52] Flannel: ah, gotcha [01:52] smokie: use sudo [01:52] Flannel, just sudo and it will ask for the passwd? [01:52] smokie: it's super user do [01:52] !sudo [01:52] 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) [01:52] smokie: su uses the (non-existant) password. Use sudo, yes. If you want a terminal, `sudo -i` but you probably don't need one. [01:52] er, non-existant root password. [01:52] tech its not the hard drive that failed, some one just pressed the wrong button and every thing went to hell and back -.- [01:53] normally it's either 'sudo command' to run a command, or 'sudo -i' to get a shell (not recommended.. but better than setting a root password) [01:53] where can i get a definitive guide to using wine on ubuntu 8.04 32-bit [01:53] __yy: dpkg -L [package] [01:53] alright thanks guys [01:53] is this only with the latest ubuntu? [01:53] Cabs: are you using AMD64 Ubuntu? [01:53] smokie: No, Ubuntu has always been this way. [01:53] cool [01:53] smokie: Are you ssh'd into an Ubuntu machine? [01:53] i never noticed that [01:53] <__yy> Flannel: can I do it for packages from the repos that I have not installed? [01:53] Flannel, yeah, i am [01:54] i just finished installing it like an hour ago [01:54] ryot-desktop: you can mount/access the harddrive when you boot into ubuntu [01:54] so still going heheh [01:54] Tensei: its a corrupted file [01:54] im sure it will need few installs still thats why i asked how to do it using ssh [01:54] ryot-desktop, what laptop was this ? I'll be sure never to buy one... [01:54] just one last thing, what firewall is used by ubuntu? [01:54] !alternate [01:54] It was a xps m1530 -.- [01:54] The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [01:55] Cabs: did it go ok? [01:55] does that mean server? [01:55] smokie: iptables [01:55] __yy: No, you need to use apt-file for that [01:55] tech0007, does that have a GUI interface in the desktop? [01:55] __yy: (or just look at packages.ubuntu.com, at the second search box) [01:56] <__yy> Flannel: ok, thanks [01:56] smokie: install firestarter for the iptables gui [01:56] from dell...It comes with a "feature" which boots a sort of mini os kinda thing where you can play dvds with out booting os. Apprently if you uninstall that feature and press the button it decides to reinstall its happy little 5 mB self right over the start of your partitions!

[02:03] gaelfx_: like a charm...can wait to use it for my new series [02:03] MooCows: using Samba? [02:03] hi, I am updating my harddrive from windows 98 and I am wondering if using ubuntu will harm the programs that I would use? [02:03] bobertdos: I guess not? how do I find that info?

[02:05] WOOHOOO!!!! [02:05] official reply from Foxconn! [02:05] wonder if they're gonna sue me [02:05] gaelfx_: In the terminal, type: sudo update-java-alternatives -l If nothing shows up, or if it say command not found, you probably don't have any. [02:05] B-) [02:05] AlmightyCthulhu: have they reversed their decision, or still being crappy? [02:05] why would foxconn sue you? [02:05] gaelfx_: because I need to update a harddrive in order to install a computer card. and it only is compatible with windows 2000 or above. but I don't want to pay 300 for an OS in order to install a computer card. :-( any help would be appreciated. [02:06] CarBrunning from Foxconn told Custom PC that 'Foxconn is currently investigating the problem,' and promised an official response on Monday. Brunning also says that there's probably a reasonable explanation for it, and confirmed that Foxconn is still committed to Linux users. He plans to test the board's BIOS on various Linux Configurations over the weekend. 'The largest manufacturer in the world saying "get lost"? I don't thi [02:06] nk so,' said Brunning. 'We are huge, and we're not that stupid.' [02:06] MooCows: There probably is somewhere, but I can't remember off the top of my head what it would be. All of the Samba essentials can be installed via Synaptic.

[02:06] bobertdos, ok when it is installed, how do I configure it? [02:07] not harddrive sorry...OS [02:07] MooCows: sharing folders in gnome?

[02:07] bobertdos: the test came up negative, care to steer me in the right direction? (wondering why this doesn't work since I've updated through Synaptic?) [02:07] MooCows: if u're in gnome, right click the folder then sharing options [02:08] gaelfx_: an air card for a wireless card [02:08] MooCows: The easiest thing to do is to edit /etc/samba/smb.conf to share your home directory. [02:08] sorry... [02:08] a driver for a wireless card [02:08] How or were do we share the home directory [02:08] tech0007, I did, but it wont let me have permission to share [02:09] gaelfx_: Well, the simplest thing to try would be to install sun-java6-jre, and then make sure it's set to your default. [02:09] You do not have permission to create a usershare. Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to create a share. [02:09] Hi, room. Question: Why do I get a "No setup signature found..." message when I boot the Ubuntu 8.04 Live CD, and is there anything I can do to get around it? [02:09] Miranda: well, if you want it to work in Windows 98, there might be a way to do that, but you'll probably need to do a lot of googling [02:09] MooCows: try 'gksu nautilus' then try sharing [02:09] it's only compatible with windows 2000 and XP [02:09] Miranda: but it might work in Ubuntu, can you tell me who made the wireless card? [02:10] Sprint [02:10] Miranda: haha, yeah, I know, but sometimes Microsoft lies about things like that, it's good for business [02:10] Please explain 'gksu nautilus' more. [02:10] has anyone used a Sprint wireless card in Ubuntu? [02:11] it's manufactured by sprint [02:11] Abidel: it starts nautilus with root privileges... [02:11] Abidel: It starts nautilus (your file browser) with graphical sudo, allowing you elevated privledges === n3o is now known as Crshman [02:11] I can use "guest share" so that any computer doesn't have to have a password ? [02:11] !gksu | Abidel [02:11] *tap* *tap* Is this thing on? ;-) [02:11] Abidel: 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) [02:11] to view it [02:11] MooCows: yep [02:11] KentonSmith: You get it when you boot? [02:11] Yup [02:11] tech0007, now the other windows computers should just be able to use \\computername [02:11] ? [02:12] KentonSmith: Have you checked the CD for defects? [02:12] Miranda: ok, hang on, let me try to find out if it will work in Ubuntu [02:12] MooCows: they shld [02:12] OK, let me go check. [02:12] ok [02:12] kde is giving me this error "Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3" any thoughts on what could it be? [02:12] MooCows asked my question about accesssng my share windows files. I also want to acess my home network [02:12] Flannel: I couldn't get that far when I booted. But I did bring the CD up under Windoze, and it came up OK. [02:13] Miranda: is it usb? [02:13] Flannel: Actually, now that I think of it, I was able to get eh initial welcome screen when I booted the CD. It was when I tried to check the CD that it failed. [02:14] (eh = the) [02:14] KentonSmith: There you go. It sounds like a bad burn, or a bad ISO (and a good burn) [02:14] Odd-rationale: no, PCI [02:14] thanks [02:14] Miranda: are you wired right now?

I've been reading about it having something to do with an old flavor of GRUB. But nothing I've read said anything about what to do about it.

I play many of the popcap games with wine, on lesser machines [02:52] sugi: short answer "depends" [02:52] I have a question. [02:52] shooosh! that is great!! [02:52] THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUU [02:52] I have a USB 2.0 to RS232 adapter here and I'm trying to get it to work with Ubuntu. I've read that it should work out of the box and of course it did not. Now, it came with a CD and some source code. I've never successfully been able to compile code before and when I try to execute a make command all I get is a huge output of errors. Sorry to be so vague here but I don't know where else to turn. [02:52] Flannel; when i install anything i get bombarded with parse errors concerning scrollkeeper. reading what scrollkeeper actually is .. i've determined i'll never use it [02:52] When I try to uninstall/reinstall Firefox, why does it remove Songbird? [02:52] !zh | wwbwwb [02:52] wwbwwb: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [02:52] hey guys when doing hardware testing ubuntu recognizes my wireless card but it never gives me any options for using my wireless network it is an atheros card are there any options im all out of ideas [02:53] Dr_willis, guido, starcraft? diablo 2? morrowind? old oblivion? Those games I would really like to play. I can't even get EMULATORS to work (super nintendo and sega) [02:53] Does anyone use their Blackberry with Hardy? The bcharge utility seems to no longer set my USB to 500 milliamps.. as it charges very slowly now, even though bcharge seems to succeed. [02:53] ...always wondered about the reset by peer thing. [02:53] sugi, ive ran snes and sega emulators on much lesser machines.. sounds to me like your ati drivers may not be usign the dri/fglrx drivers. [02:54] gway9000: yeah but batty boy makes me think you are from the caribbean [02:54] bastid_raZor: Synaptic uses scrollkeeper. [02:54] Dr_willis. i just use hardware drivers from Ubuntu it's self. is that bad? [02:54] Flannel; okay, in that case, let me get the parse error and see if i can get rid of that .. one sec and i'll give you a c/p of one line. [02:54] hey lads, I'm trying to configure my system right. Just wondering, 1)can I used a list of commands in a bash(?) file to set everything up for me right (like start a terminal and auto fullscreen it as soon as I login) or start pidgin or something similar before I see my desktop. And 2) Where's the best place to ask these sorts of questions? [02:55] bastid_raZor: pastebin it [02:55] !paste | bastid_raZor [02:55] bastid_raZor: 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) [02:55] bahadunn: you would be correct [02:56] anyone here use nullmailer? I'm trying to set it up, and it's causing me to pull my hair out... [02:57] Dr_willis, how much of a lesser machine have you ran emulators on? [02:57] cognitiaclaeves: I use esmtp and it's never given me problems [02:57] Hi, all. Running Ubuntu 8.04.1 32-bit. When I press ctrl-alt-f1 I get a black screen, no prompt (same for f2-f6). ctrl-alt-f7 get me back to the gui. Anyone know how to get ctrl-alt-f1 to display? [02:57] sugi dosbox is excellent [02:58] runs any old dos games just fine on anything newer than say a PII [02:58] I'm having trouble with firefox on Hardy and I was thinking of doing a clean install My home drive is on a different partition. How can I make sure that the clean install does not wip my home drive? [02:58] Gigs, I haven't tried dosbox out yet. There might be a few games I would like to try out on dosbox.... maybe [02:58] flannel: I might be able to work wtih esmtp: it will relay a message to an STMP server, right? [02:59] well it can't help you with the ones that were windows based [02:59] Gigs: i wouldn't go that far - i needed a wee bit more power to run later dos games (later ultimas, gabriel knight: sins of the fathers, etc) [02:59] sugi definetly check The Dig if you are in the mood for dos games [02:59] Flannel: ... but what does it do when the system tries to send mail to a local account? [02:59] Daisuke_Ido: maybe a few [02:59] Gigs: but a later P3 on, should run perfectly now that they've implemented (and perfected, mostly) the dynamic core [02:59] Crewsr3: dont choose 'guided-entire disk' in partition phase [03:00] what video card do you have sugi? [03:00] how can i do to play sounds in different media player? i dont have sound with flash while im playin sounds with audacious... do i have to install some packages?? [03:00] Is this the best place to ask short newbie questions about ubuntu? [03:00] guido, I would really like to try Morrowind. I have dieing to play that game for a while. or starcraft, or diablo 2 would be cool. [03:00] tech0007, that is it [03:00] Gigs: oh definitely, there aren't too many that have issues like that, and that was only true back in the .6x line, [03:00] Ryan_Delaney: Yep!

[03:00] cognitiaclaeves: pass it through to procmail: http://esmtp.sourceforge.net/manual.html#interfacing-to-mail-delivery-agents [03:01] tech0007, it is my understanding that my setting will stick what will will I keep and what will I need to reinstall? [03:01] Ryan_Delaney: In fact (now that I'm no longer really a newbie), I find that people tend to ignore my questions because by the time I bring them here they're complex and frustrating :) [03:01] wweasel: Haha nice. I used linux for maybe 4 months now. so I still have some duh questions that are too easy to merit a thread on ubuntuforums [03:02] im on ubuntu hardy and I just installed LAMP, apache works but when i open a php file it downloads it [03:02] Dr_willis ouch! really? because of a weak drivers or just bad video card? I know it's a SE (it was so cheap at the time) I do have an nvidia GeFoce FX 5200 Card 256 MB PCI, if that might be better??!?! [03:02] when i opened httpd.conf it's empty [03:02] ai3gtmc: Did you follow everything on this page? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [03:02] Ryan_Delaney: the only dumb question is the one that doesn't get asked - the ubuntu channels are great places to hang out for general info :) [03:02] ai3gtmc: Ubuntu doesn't use httpd.conf [03:02] sugi, last i worked with wine and ati cards.. the nvidia support worked much better. [03:02] Flannel,so how do i fix it? [03:03] Daisuke_Ido: Great thanks. My first attempt installing linux was redhat back in 2002, and any question I asked anywhere I got mocked and told to RTFM, which were all full of jargon. ubuntu community is great for beginners [03:03] is there a particular reason why you are not using the restricted drivers, sugi? [03:03] mrtin: that may be due to OSS instead of ALSA architecture for the sound. All I really know is that OSS thinks like a man (one job at a time) and ALSA like a woman (keeps going till it has a heart attack and panics) [03:03] ai3gtmc: Did you follow everything on that page? [03:03] Dr_willis, I don't even know how much MB the ATI card has.... Man, I hate ATI >.< [03:03] Ryan_Delaney: bout the same as my first attempt - was with fedora core 2 :\ [03:03] flannel what page? [03:03] ai3gtmc: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [03:04] ok ty [03:04] x [03:04] damnit. He left before I could pretend to help.

[03:05] sugi, guido: i think there's a mistake - it's called "Hardware Drivers" as of Hardy - I think you're both talking about the same thing :) [03:05] is there something like deepfreez linux for debian based? [03:05] spoo1: What is deepfreez linux? [03:05] !repeat | spoo1 [03:05] spoo1: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[03:06] sugi: no need [03:06] Flannel; okay, there are about 20 to 25 of those lines that scroll by when it does happen. [03:06] CShadowRun: Nah, right here. I think technically we're suppose to give support in channel. [03:06] ok :) [03:06] CShadowRun: Though I have nothign really against PM.

I am going to ghost the channel and try to sponge some knowledge while I read, Just wanted to say hello.

[03:52] ddn't work too well [03:52] for this one [03:52] gamesiano, trust me, it would be better just to use sudo [03:52] Other than wine I dont know of any other options besides virtual machines [03:52] ziploc1,, what are you trying to do??????????? [03:52] yes... but i want to know if there is a way to own a process of another user [03:52] heh I was trying to install a parallel so that I could run a game [03:53] gamesiano, not that i have ever seen or heard of. [03:53] gamesiano: If you edited the file with gnome-terminal (or some other graphical terminal thing), you could copy the text (by highlighting it), paste it somewhere unimportant, and then close nano; then do "sudo nano " and paste in your changes. [03:53] exec as root [03:53] gamesiano: You want to run something as someone else?

[04:05] hello [04:05] hi all, I have a trivial issue where a specific application window appears in a fixed size and extends below the viewable desktop horizon. Is there a way to drag window bars above the top of the screen to counter this? [04:05] no...its a future referance question.... [04:05] what is the subject we r talking about [04:05] <|Adrian|> o/ Yud_Zroc :) [04:05] Huh? As in, if you get a virus in Windows, does it affect Ubuntu? [04:05] In regards to xorg is pos 0,0 top-left, bottom-left, etc? [04:05] cobber2005 I was talking to Ziploc1 [04:05] <|Adrian|> no virus in Windows should affect Ubuntu. [04:06] trimeta: its because my freing gets viruses all the time...or spyware or adware...(seeing as linux dont get the,) but i was wondering if they would carry over in wubi [04:06] Alsryth: i dunno the answer but i like the way you wrote the question! [04:06] just remove windows. it is a virus itself [04:06] the r 27 know virus for linux [04:06] Yud_Zroc: If you have a virus in Windows, it's possible it could do bad stuff to your Wubi install, though it would have to be programmed specifically to do that. [04:06] ugh, ubuntu totally sucks now, lost my windows install and I was considering switching to linux fulltime [04:06] trimeta: other way around.... [04:06] Yud_Zroc: How would you get a virus in Ubuntu? [04:07] Would anyone be able to help me figure out why my Update Manager stopped working? I'm using 6.10 if that helps at all... Every time i try to update or upgrade it tells me "Could not download all repository indexes", and suggests i check my connection.. which is fine [04:07] Alsryth, alt-LMB to drag the window [04:07] maynard: Because 6.10 is no longer supported. [04:07] but it won't let me upgrade, either [04:07] 6.10 is like 2 years old? [04:07] maynard: (and the repositories have gone down) [04:07] thanks grackle :) [04:07] my mistake, any one know how to fix a flicker after waking up from a suspend? [04:07] it mite b a bug [04:07] get Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS [04:07] Alsryth, glad to help [04:07] trimeta: say if the windows virus was in ubuntu (in wubi) and my friend booted back to windows would it affect it [04:07] what is going on [04:07] maynard: You'll need to change your sources to old-archives.ubuntu.com/ubuntu and then upgrade to Feisty [04:07] Is "WINE" hard to use? Yes .... or No" or ... it takes about two days to get up up and running a windows game... would be perfect answers [04:07] thanks Flannel, i'll do that [04:07] EDocToor: No [04:08] how do i setup a HP PSC 1210 AllinOne [04:08] Yud_Zroc: What do you mean, "the Windows virus was in Ubuntu"? It can't do anything in Ubuntu. It wouldn't even run if you didn't have Wine, and then it might not work as designed. And you'd have to have run it intentionally. [04:08] ubuntu hardy [04:08] EDocToor: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine will give you instructions [04:08] Cobber2005, Google Bugs and your OS and your computer type [04:08] trimeta: no no no.. [04:08] window and ubuntu are separated by a partion [04:09] trimeta: flip the sentance around [04:09] Guest81597: He's talking about a Wubi install. [04:09] i heard there is a antivirus for ubuntu [04:09] Yud_Zroc: Tell me exactly what's happening within Ubuntu that relates to a Windows virus. [04:09] EDocToor: I"ve tried that, but all I get is info about problematic nVidia drivers, which I don't have [04:09] Guest81597: there is, ClamAV and AVG among others. [04:09] Guest36101, yeah there is one clamav [04:09] Blaqlight, jinx [04:10] Though doesn't ClamAV mostly scan for Windows viruses to make sure you don't infect people you send emails to? [04:10] Hey. I'm having a huge triple boot issue with grub. Can someone help? [04:10] flannel,,, thanks [04:10] Guest81597: there are a couple of anti virus products for Linux however at this point they're mainly for preventing the spread of viruses to Windows machines throigh files on the linux host, the virus threat in Linux itself is still fairly minimal [04:10] kdb424: Possibly...describe it. [04:10] Someone told me to to resize a window do use middle click, that is not working [04:10] EdocToor: actually I didn't know Google Bugs was another website, I shall try that, thanks! [04:10] trimeta: there really isn't one for linux viruses because there aren't enough linux viruses to make it a worthy cause. [04:10] ok i have a sound problem....well i have no sound and i just reformatted 3 days ago and it did work b4 that [04:10] what can i do [04:11] i install and reinstall and still no sound [04:11] Good evening folks, I'll try again in the new week. [04:11] does someone want to help me, im havng trouble with an install, any help would be apreciated [04:11] grackel: I'm able to move the window in all directions except up. Possibly because the application window is already touching the upper portion of the desktop. Perhaps another solution is in order. Is there a way to effectively "zoom out" a desktop view - aside from changing screen resolution?

[04:16] Gnome Session Time limits: I'd like to limit the time my 4 and 6 year old spend on the computer [04:16] chalcedony, get a client like bit-torrent and download the torrent then open that file with the client to download the real file..after you download it burn it to a CD using Nero.. [04:17] How do I get the flicker to stop after waking up from a suspend in Hardy? [04:17] Alsryth,doesnt work === jacob_ is now known as Guest53820 [04:17] trimeta: hmm, I can't seem to see the option to output a Unix Timestamp, but it might be in there, I miss things a lot, especially since the rather cramped text of the terminal makes my eyes hurt :( [04:17] cobber2005,,, sorry about that,, does it keep flickering,,, or does it stop flickering after a while... have you tested your memory.. useing the memory option on boot... and if you reset up your suspend you will or should see tips about where to get help in your case. [04:17] ifconfig [04:17] oops [04:17] NO! [04:17] ai3gtmc: are you working from the computer which cannot connect to the internet? [04:17] the charger isnt working :'( [04:17] what should I do?! [04:17] !NO [04:17] mbrigdan: %s [04:17] Hvis du vil diskutere Ubuntu paa norsk, venligst gaa til #ubuntu-no. Takk! [04:17] * orgthingy is so nervous [04:17] Alsryth,yes it's on vmware [04:18] mbrigdan: you can change the font of the terminal in Settings > Appearence > Fonts Tab. [04:18] * EDocToor where men are men ,,, and sheep are nervous [04:18] trimeta: thanks, I would never have noticed that. [04:18] EDocTor: It keeps flickering. I didn't know I can test my memory on boot, I'll go into the setup menu and try it. How do I reset up my suspend? [04:18] no one has ever heard of grub before? [04:19] grub booting grub. sorry [04:19] Anyone know where Synaptic installs mySQL? [04:19] grub is good, mm chicken wings, lasagna, mmm [04:19] I love my grub [04:19] kdb424: No, though I'd check that the device it's trying to boot is the right one, and that you're not chainloading grub again, or something. [04:19] sudo apt-get install mysql [04:19] Alsryth,ifconfig's eth0 shows nothing about my IP [04:20] ai3gtmc: perhaps its eth1 [04:20] Cobber2005 Live boot your Ubuntu... and Look for memtest [04:20] from the list [04:20] Blaqlight,it's only eth0 and lo [04:20] ntiy: I install it using the Synaptic manager, however, I don't know where Synaptic installed the thing! [04:20] ... mine is [04:20] trimeta: What exactly does chainloading do because I have changed the grub partition number to every other number, and it either did not exist, or it didn't have an OS. [04:20] Cobber2005: Or, you could press escape on boot up, to being up the grub menu. There is a memtest option there. [04:20] try "whereis mysql" [04:21] Saladin: Something like /var/lib/mysql? [04:21] are there any other good keyloggers besides lkl? [04:21] ai3gtmc: if you lspci -v is your card there? [04:21] kdb424: Maybe you should pastebin your menu.lst? [04:21] EDocTor & Saladin: Many thanks. Maybe bad memory is making my screen flicker? I hope it's just that. Thanks. [04:21] (Don't dump it here, use the pastebin, is what I mean by "pastebin.") [04:21] trimeta: Can I PM you? [04:21] Saladin, right click the package in synaptic and click "Properties." There is an "installed files" tab in the properties window. [04:22] kdb424: I'm not that knowledgeable, frankly; best to keep things here. [04:22] any way to set screen refresh rate to an *unsupported* value. i allways have my 1024/768 at 72hz, but its not an option [04:22] What's pastbin then? [04:22] pastebin [04:22] !pastebin [04:22] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [04:22] Blaqlight,i see ethernet controller [04:22] Thanks guys...

[04:23] Howdy [04:23] Ubuntu alternate install or rescue mode: There is an option to install GRUB bootloader, but choosing this option sends you to the partitioner. Why?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [04:25] what's the otherway to restart network other thank /etc/init.d/networking restart? [04:25] ai3gtmc, you need to setup networking for the vmware guest - http://www.vmware.com/support/ws3/doc/ws32_network8.html [04:26] DeeDee: whats your question? [04:26] does anyone knows how to get 1280x800 with x3000 intel chip O.o? [04:26] ai3gtmc, that is the way to restart networking. [04:26] ai3gtmc: Umm...unloading and reloading the module for your wireless card? [04:26] trying to get my Atheros card to work in ubuntu no such luck [04:26] WolVeR: It worked out of the box for me. [04:26] ubotto - OK. Some history. I installed UbuntuStudio previously, It was good. I was happy. Timidity worked. I destroyed jackd in a by setting something wrong. This caused complete destruction. I re-installed. jackd now works BUT timidity does not [04:26] i think i have loaded the restricted drivers [04:26] but i dont see it when i go to network [04:26] !ubottu [04:26] Hi!

[04:27] ai3gtmc: Maybe e1000 then? Maybe not, though. What's wrong with /etc/init.d/networking restart? [04:27] oh just great I;ve been talking to a bot. [04:27] when i installed ubuntu u set the partition as /windows === robert__ is now known as Guest61927 [04:27] more wasted time [04:27] well, when i just installed ubuntu, it had 1280x800 but, it was weird, i had the screen with that resolution, but the task bar was on middle of the screen [04:28] DeeDee can I PM you? [04:28] sorry 4 my english [04:28] hmm i dunno it's just yesterday this guy gave me a command to restart the network and it worked..

[04:30] trimeta: It gave me a ile browser with the link file:/// [04:30] hi, i was looking at my partitions with gparted and i noticed that there is 4.61MiB in an allocated partition. I duel boot with WinXP and was wondering if it is the Grub or more alarmingly a Rootkit? What do you think? I have tried to delete it and i can't through gparted. [04:31] kdb424: When you hit the Paste! button? That's rather odd. [04:31] I am facing problem in rhythmbox in ubuntu8.04. it is always crashing down.. what should i do.. [04:31] trimeta: Yea. That's what happens [04:31] Guest61927: Did your computer come with a restore partition? [04:31] DeeDee, your welcome [04:32] Guest36101, that is more than likey just free space that windows was not going to be able to use or the restore partition [04:32] abhi_: try audacious [04:32] restore partition? [04:32] Blaqlight, : is it gtk+ based [04:32] trimeta: even if it did I doubt 4 MB would hold anything :P [04:32] Blaqlight: True. [04:33] ai3gtmc, have you checked the vmware guest configuration -- you have to ensure that guest has the capability to get on the phycial network. something like this here. http://www.vmware.com/support/ws3/doc/ws32_network8.html [04:33] Guest36101-> each partition has to have a filesystem table, dont know if it takes that much 4.61MiB btw what the heck is Mi ? [04:33] abhi_: I beieve it uses the qt toolkit. I may be wrong though [04:33] Hey Anyone here have a Atheros Network card on laptop and got it to work on ubuntu [04:34] amenado, mibibytes [04:34] DeeDee, which card..i mean model [04:34] HI, how do I start mysql?

[04:35] sivik: pgrep -l mysql (that's a lowercase l) is superior to ps aux|grep mysql, IMO. [04:35] then its not running [04:35] arvind_khadri: Hey. which software to use for opening RAR Archives ?? [04:35] i have never used pgrep. [04:36] I need to start it then [04:36] Scorp__, unrar [04:36] pidof mysql is much easier [04:36] Scorp__, you need to get unrar-free and unrar [04:36] hello, i need hoary's universe repo in my apt/sources. what is it? [04:36] whyameye: I don't know, some sort of chroot craziness? [04:36] trimeta: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) [04:36] trimeta, is pgrep debian/ubuntu specific or will be linux wide? [04:36] rootyrooty, that means your install is not working [04:36] sivik, arvind_khadri: thanks. [04:36] sivik: Linux-wide. [04:36] would i be able to find out what that unallocated partition is through Windows? [04:37] Is there a reason why part of the last youtube video I watched is in my /tmp directory? [04:37] sivik, arvind_khadri: thanks. [04:37] DeeDee, run lspci on a terminal [04:37] sivik: Ah. should I reinstall? [04:37] anyone? [04:37] Scorp__, welcome :)_ [04:37] ??

[04:37] rootyrooty, how did you install mysql the first time? from source or via apt-get/apatitude [04:37] !tab | DeeDee [04:37] DeeDee: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [04:37] trimeta:But it is only part not all of the file [04:37] linuxguymarshall: maybe your /tmp directory wants to watch it later? [04:37] Blaqlight:haha [04:37] sivik: prob synaptic [04:37] is there a room just for ubuntu themes? [04:38] 5 minutes remaining [04:38] Blaqlight: Maybe it came as a multi-file video, and was seamlessly made to view as one file? Whatever, if you're done watching it you can wipe it. [04:38] rootyrooty, try uninstall and re-installing [04:38] * orgthingy is saying buy to his laptop [04:38] If you're worried about this sort of thing, I think there's a way to automatically clean /tmp on boot.

[04:39] So, do people frequent #UbuntuStudio ? [04:39] rootyrooty, you using it? [04:39] hmm [04:39] spoo1: ask the question [04:39] let me try [04:39] rootyrooty, err no .. mysql needs root's privs. to be started .. and amarok doesn't normally run under root.

[04:43] ai3gtmc-> do you have a working dhcp server? [04:43] yes [04:43] zv0, start hacking the IP 127.0.0.1, that idiot always leaves his box wide open [04:43] for example: the bass [04:43] CShadowRun, no need for that [04:43] unop: I don't understand the output. It just lists directories [04:43] funny thing is,, what I have on my other terminal :D [04:43] unop: I can't seem to get fbsetbg to work, I want this background as my wallpaper but it won't set it. [04:43] hey can someone recommend a notebook cooler? [04:44] wait brb [04:44] unop: do I delete the 10 biggest files? === ai3gtmc is now known as ai3gtmc`brb [04:44] So arvind_khadri any ideaS? [04:44] rootyrooty, well, that there just lists the 10 biggest, it's upto you to decide whether or not they are needed [04:44] spoo1: I don't think so, [04:44] is it possible to select the output of a command without having to pipe it into something else? [04:45] Blaqlight, how are you using fbsetbg there? [04:45] Brolli, and do what with the output ? [04:45] as far as I know when the program is installed the app includes a png that is used system wide. [04:45] to paste somewhere [04:45] Brolli, yes [04:45] in fluxconf [04:45] without using mouse [04:45] anyone know how to change bass output from ubuntu? [04:45] Yes [04:46] unop: will I destroy my system if I delete, say the gconf files? I think that they're the culprit [04:46] Brolli, yes [04:46] so does anyone have any ideas about my Atheros issue [04:46] grep blah /folder/to/file [04:46] Hey folks - I'd like a bit of guidance if possible [04:46] Scott_Johnstone, just ask the question [04:46] you bet [04:46] sivik: thanks [04:46] Brolli, yw [04:47] I've created a folder within my ~ dir called /.link/ [04:47] also, is there a copy/paste buffer in ubuntu that i could pipe output into [04:47] Scott_Johnstone, ok, that means its hidden [04:47] DeeDee, sorry no help here [04:47] DeeDee, :S [04:47] anyone know how to change bass output from ubuntu? [04:47] Brolli, you can pipe to xclip - but xclip needs to be installed additionally [04:47] its ok [04:47] I'd like to map that folder so i can put links in there and open them by just typing the name of the link into the ALT+F2 run dialog [04:47] google is my friend [04:48] hvgotcodes: I use the ZM-MC1000 but i suggest you read the reviews and see which would work best for you [04:48] rootyrooty, you might lose user configuration if you delete those directories [04:48] so instead of having to type ~/.link/oow to launch my open office writer, I can just type oow [04:48] unop: thanks [04:48] Scott_Johnstone: You'd probably want to add that directory to your PATH. [04:49] trimeta: yeah that's what I'd do in windows [04:49] Scott_Johnstone, sym link it into the /usr/bin or /bin folder and give it the right permissiosn [04:49] Blaqlight: what do people use to combine themes? I'll try to just pull the one I want out of the other theme and put it in to the theme that I like... will that not work? [04:49] I just don't know how to add something to the path env.variable [04:49] DeeDee do you have a /lib/modules/`uname -r`/madwifi/ dir? [04:49] unop: Not sure what you mean. If I delete it and reboot, will I be screwed, or just left with a large amount of user config to do, as opposed to a non-booting box? [04:49] Blaqlight: or is it easier said then done? [04:49] sivik: how do I simlink something? [04:49] I'm not sure how to do that consistently for the alt+F2 dialog, though I know you can do "PATH="$PATH:/path/to/dir" in your .bashrc file for interactive shells. [04:49] err sym link [04:49] ln -s filename path/to/file [04:49] rootyrooty, which gconf directories/files are you referring to? [04:50] How turn off a PC with Ubuntu from another PC with Ubuntu too? [04:50] trimeta, put it in ~/.bash_profile and log back in [04:50] ZoiX ssh in and shutdown -h now [04:50] ZoiX: Can you ssh into the remote machine? [04:50] Zoix you can use ssh to issue a remote command [04:50] sivik: hmm thanks I"ll try that :) [04:50] spoo1: im sure anything is possible not sure how to do it though, themes in gnome and kde don't normally include the icons also. [04:50] /var/lib/gconf [04:50] 63744 /var/lib/gconf/defaults [04:50] unop: 63744 /var/lib/gconf/defaults [04:50] Blaqlight, how are you using fbsetbg there? [04:50] Im using it in fluxconf [04:51] unop: and /var/lib/gconf [04:51] are there firewall in ubuntu? [04:51] rootbox, that's about 63M --- that's not much -- i would look at something else [04:52] sivik, trimeta, amenado, thanks [04:52] Blaqlight, not sure then - have you verified that fbsetbg works normally at the command line? [04:52] sivik, trimea, amenado: ssh is install now in two machines [04:52] unop: Im actually trying to set it in startup. sorry [04:53] Blaqlight: I've seen some with a black looking ubuntu icon and some with the Gnome foot as the Appl. menu Icon..... [04:53] Blaqlight, well, that doesn't answer my question? :) [04:53] OK, problem with using prevu to allow me to grab new packages from Intrepid: I want both package A and package B; B depends on the newer A. (In particular, A is libotr and B is pidgin-otr). How do I make prevu compile against a version it itself created? [04:54] trimeta, are you on hardy at present? [04:54] unop: That is correct. [04:54] unop: no I haven't [04:54] if i use wine is it possible to get windows virii? [04:54] trimeta, backport the intrepid packages (and their new and required dependencies) [04:55] sivik: can you help me? [04:55] unop: I did that, and I've even installed the new libotr. I'm still getting an error while compiling pidgin-otr complaining about libotr's version. [04:55] ssh -l username hostname [04:55] are there firewall in ubuntu? if! How do i remove it? [04:55] username is the username you are connecting with and hostname is the server ip or hostname to connect to [04:55] What can be determined based on the output of Wireshark? [04:55] sivik: right, let me see [04:55] E|Tomas-, iptables [04:56] If you have any answers pleas IM me [04:56] Freshy: In short, yes; the virus would probably have to be coded to take advantage of Wine, but that could actually occur. But still, you'd have to actively choose to run the virus with Wine; if you're careful about when you use it, you shouldn't have a problem. [04:56] E|Tomas-, /etc/init.d/iptables stop [04:56] (Unless you've set your system to automatically run Windows executable with Wine...I'm not sure if the default install does that...) [04:56] trimeta, how exactly did you backport libotr? [04:56] bash: /etc/init.d/iptables: [04:56] unop: next question where are the wallpapers for gnome usually stored. [04:57] I am trying to compile some source and I need the following files : SDL.h , SDL_image.h , SDL_opengl.h , GL/glext.h . Where can I find and how can I install these [04:57] Blaqlight, /usr/share/{wallpapers,backgrounds} [04:57] unop: the ones that show up in the "change wallpaper" dialog [04:57] E|Tomas-, yes, from a cli prompt (bash, sh, or any one of the others) [04:57] unop: prevu libotr && apt-get update && apt-get upgrade (all sudo'ed, of course.) [04:57] <__yy_> linuxguymarshall: you need opengl and SDL development packages, search for them in synaptic [04:57] type SDL.h etc... [04:57] in bash [04:58] it should give the command to install it using apt [04:58] I have tried synaptic. No luck [04:58] are you able to enable and disable wine? [04:58] linuxguymarshall: apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev [04:58] sivik: it dont works [04:58] it is called libSDL1.2 [04:58] dunno about the gl include file [04:58] E|Tomas-, what do you mean it doesn't work? [04:58] Something along those lines [04:58] bunz: Thank you [04:58] dont find the file [04:58] unop: Though...I'm not sure that's actually getting me the Intrepid sources...hold on... [04:58] is there an os bashing chaneel someone can tell me about [04:59] You need the libraries that go with them [04:59] trimeta, i'm not sure that's how prevu works -- you might need prevu-update after prevu libotr [04:59] locate iptables | grep /etc/init.d [04:59] unop: do you have an answer /poilitely asking [04:59] Does anyone know what can be determined by the output of Wireshark? [04:59] unop: I'll look into it. [05:00] sivik: ye? [05:00] <__yy_> Entropy51423: there is a great deal of active research into the answer to that question [05:00] cakephp [05:00] trimeta, i prefer the older traditional way of backporting i.e. apt-get source -t intrepid -b libotr # after making sure you have the intrepid deb-src's [05:00] rootbox, sorry, what was your question again? [05:00] _yy_ can you give me either a link or a search query for Google? [05:01] does anyone know how to run a game in a separate x session in ubuntu? it's easier with other distros but ubuntu seems to lock down the x authorizations and store them in /tmp which makes it a lengthy process that has to be repeated each boot, (this feature has actually saved my butt before when i locked myself out of having any x authorizations) but i was wondering if anybody here knew of good safe way to make this possible with ubuntu [05:01] unop: I'll see if that's easier. [05:02] unop: there must be some other place because the wallpaper I have in gnome is not in that list [05:02] trimeta, actually - see the very last section here on circular dependencies - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu [05:02] hey guys, is this correct to open port 6885: sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 6885 -j ACCEPT [05:02] unop: Oh, yea, that's probably it. Good call. [05:02] Blaqlight, note, that is two directories there. have you looked in both? [05:02] <__yy_> Entropy51423: look for reasearch on wireless networking and security, http://arxiv.org/ is a good place to start [05:03] Blaqlight, maybe /usr/share/pixmaps too ? though i doubt it [05:03] unop: the other does not exist in that directory. [05:03] sivik: thanks for your help :) [05:03] Thanks [05:03] Blaqlight, hmm, not sure -- time to launch your gnome-session :) [05:04] unop: I did find a directory of backgrounds in pixmaps. [05:05] unop: those aren't it and I never knew they were there, nor did gnome for that matter. [05:05] I'm trying to install apache2 and I'm gettin 404 errors when I type apt-get install apache2. I'm running hardy [05:05] =\ [05:06] Blaqlight, if you know the name of a wallpaper that exists somewhere on the filesystem. you can use locate to find out where exactly it is [05:06] unop: omg Im ... [05:07] Blaqlight, ?? [05:07] will, sounds like your package list is out of date. Try an apt-get update first [05:07] is there a channel for X issues in ubuntu? [05:07] Grackle thank you I'll try that [05:07] amirman, usually this is it. [05:07] unop: Cool, everything worked. [05:07] Grackle thank you! [05:07] =) [05:08] np willl [05:08] trimeta, nice [05:08] er, w1ll [05:08] what's your questions amirman ? [05:08] so i booted ubuntu from the live cd... but i just get a command line. can i get a gui interface with the live cd, without installing? it seems that installing requires an additional 600mb download :/ [05:08] w4ett: "does anyone know how to run a game in a separate x session in ubuntu? it's easier with other distros but ubuntu seems to lock down the x authorizations and store them in /tmp which makes it a lengthy process that has to be repeated each boot, (this feature has actually saved my butt before when i locked myself out of having any x authorizations) but i was wondering if anybody here knew of good safe way to make this possible with ubuntu" [05:08] guys, is the synaptic package manager downloading too slow even for someone else out here ??? Its giving just half the speed i usually get. [05:08] sivik: i cant stop it O.o [05:09] Scorp__: It did seem a bit slow for me tonight. [05:09] Bad argument `stop' [05:09] Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information. [05:09] read man ipteables [05:09] trimeta: Could there be a solution to it ?? I;m using the Main Servre since the Local server is even slower than that. [05:09] amirman: see xauth. [05:10] amirman, how do you usually start the other sessions? [05:10] Scorp__: Not much one can do if the servers are slow, unfortunately. [05:10] crimsun_: i've looked at xauth - that's how i found out the x authorizations are stored in /tmp [05:10] trimeta: oh ya, sorry for that stupid question... [05:10] amirman: then you probably know about extract and merge, yes? [05:11] unop: i haven't started any successfully on ubuntu, let me find the script i was using === tolecnal_ is now known as tolecnal [05:11] crimsun_: :( no [05:11] unop: I found the folder... it was on my desktop. also alot of the gnome wallpapers are in /usr/share/images also :D [05:11] amirman, you can make your own set of autorization files that xauth can use - perhaps that's something you could look into [05:11] Blaqlight, cool - shows how much i know about gnome. [05:11] unop: you know where i can find some newbie friendly documentation on it? or what i can search for? [05:12] amirman, the xauth manpage is quite straight forward [05:12] Scorp__, don't use the main server. Let synaptic choose the fastest one for you. Open synaptic, go to Settings>Repositories, Open the "Download From" menu and select "Other..." then hit "choose best server" [05:12] blah [05:12] How would I get sound to work under firefox listening to a radio channel ? [05:12] hey guys, is this correct to open port 6885: sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 6885 -j ACCEPT ? [05:13] update manager question - if I use it to update from gutsy to hardy, will there be adverse effects to my system? i.e.) drivers, directories, data loss etc... [05:13] unop: here's the script i was using http://pastebin.com/f50f9c3a7 [05:13] g0tcha: by using libflashsupport or upgrading to newer alsa-lib, alsa-plugins, and flashplugin-nonfree [05:13] at work on our windows boxes i can connect to another pc\shared with \\pcname\path [05:13] can i do this in ubuntu? [05:13] Alsryth, it shouldn't break anything unless you've heavily modified stuff. [05:14] what are you talking about? [05:14] anyone know of a real good linux distro that will run on a PC Chips M810LMR Duron 800D Processor with about 665MB of Ram? [05:14] Are there basic troubleshooting guides for midi and audio written in simple clear English [05:14] grackle: thanks, again :) [05:14] Bull3TNURF8c3: ubuntu [05:14] Really! [05:14] np Alsryth [05:14] g0tcha: the solutions to your issue. [05:14] Bull3TNURF8c3: look where you are... [05:14] g0tcha: details in #ubuntu-audio-help if you want. [05:15] crimsun_, you mean the other dude heheh [05:15] i was asking about the iptables [05:15] if this is right sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 6885 -j ACCEPT [05:15] Ubuntu live cd is is installing the cd rom is Bang like crazy! Normal ? [05:15] Harley^: #ubuntu-audio-help [05:15] well, I would like to run ubuntu on it, but it will eat up my ram? [05:15] g0tcha: right, that works. [05:15] banging [05:15] Bull3TNURF8c3: what do you mean "eat up my ram"? [05:16] I need something thats a little less on ram [05:16] Bull3TNURF8c3: Xubuntu will run great [05:16] Bubble, you'll want at least 512MB of RAM to run comfortably [05:16] crimsun_, then if i telnet to this port is should work fine? [05:16] 600MB is fine for ubuntu but you can run xubuntu instead [05:16] i have had Xubuntu funning nice with 128mb ram [05:16] g0tcha: if something is actually listening there [05:17] netstat -an | grep "LISTEN " [05:17] is showing this: [05:17] I will give ubuntu and xubuntu a try, and see the performance difference [05:17] unop: ok fbsetbg works for a second, then it seems this theme overwrites it. [05:17] I run Ubuntu fine with 768M [05:17] tcp 0 0 192.168.1.10:6885 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN [05:17] wols_, so it should work? [05:18] unop: and then Im back to the same old boring wallpaper [05:18] Yud_Zroc: with 128mb of ram are you also running beryl and compiz on it [05:18] g0tcha: IF you connect from 192.168.0.0/16 [05:18] :P Bull3TNURF8c3. Linux is not magic. You need a reasonable amount of RAM to run a modern OS with fancy features. [05:18] crimsun_: Amusing 3 users [05:19] wols_, yeah, exactly, locally... when i telnet to this port it just doesnt do anything [05:19] Bull3TNURF8c3: no....the computer it is on is for my linux conversion computer used to make windows people puke at the site of windows [05:19] !doesn't work [05:19] 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. [05:19] Blaqlight, see how you can use the overlay file to override theme specifics [05:19] so its not an iptables problem? [05:19] amirman, http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Remote-X-Apps-6.html [05:19] so i booted ubuntu from the live cd... but i just get a command line. can i get a gui interface with the live cd, without installing? it seems that installing requires an additional 600mb download :/ [05:19] g0tcha: if you couldn't connect you'd get a "connection refused" immediately [05:19] unop: do you have a site or command so that I can read up on it? [05:19] unop: thanks! i was just about to tell you how confusing these man pages are [05:19] Kristopher: the normal Live CD gives a GUI yes [05:19] is there a fix for flash in firefox [05:19] wols_, im using putty to telnet to it and its not giving me connection refused, it just stays there in black [05:20] g0tcha: need more info [05:20] its laggy causes ff to crash and freeze and everytime i open a tab it stops [05:20] okay thanks all! [05:20] g0tcha u need a 3erd party cliant [05:20] , but how do i start it? initramfs / busybox started and i'm not sure what to do next [05:20] Kristopher: then you have a problem. busybox only cmes when there are errors. it prints out those errors [05:20] wols_, this is basicly it, it just doesnt do anything when i telnet, putty stays black without bringing anything up [05:20] Yud_Zroc, third party client for what? [05:21] telnet [05:21] g0tcha: not enough data to make a suggestion [05:21] g0tcha, why are you trying to run a telnet server on ubuntu? [05:21] im trying to telnet to an eggdrop that supposed to b running on ubuntu upstairs [05:21] Grackle, not a telnet server [05:21] g0tcha: putty is NOT a telnet client btw [05:21] unless i need to install a telnet server to telnet to an eggdrop? [05:22] g0tcha: use an actual telnet client [05:22] wols_, well, it does telnet fine with other machines [05:22] like what? [05:22] Oh, haha, I did not notice that you said putty. Yeah, putty is not a telnet client. :P [05:22] telnet! [05:22] yes, telnet, from a command prompt [05:24] , there are no error messages :/ "busybox v1.1.8 (debian 1:1.1.8-5ubuntu12) buuilt-in shell (ash)" [05:24] i dont see what the problem with putty is, but i did telnet before to ubuntu using it [05:24] Blaqlight, have you checked the fluxbox wiki? [05:24] just not on this fresh installed one [05:24] Kristopher: there are before that prompt [05:24] g0tcha, you ssh'd to ubuntu with putty [05:24] Kristopher: what hdd controller? [05:24] at work on our windows boxes i can connect to another pc\shared with \\pcname\path [05:24] can i do this in ubuntu? [05:24] g0tcha, you probably thought you telnetted to ubuntu - but used ssh inadvertently [05:24] Grackle, i dont know much, but i think i know the difference between the two :p [05:25] riegersn: yes [05:25] , not sure.. it's 30gb/ntfs though [05:25] g0tcha, telnet does not do ssh - and why the hell are you using telnet anyway? [05:25] hmm [05:25] Kristopher: it's not. a filesystem is no hdd contrller [05:25] unop: nope not until just now. [05:25] unop: cause eggies don't have sshds.... [05:25] right, what wols_ said [05:25] wols_, i have 2 ubuntu 8.04 machines wired in on the same router. one pc is named justice the other freedom, how can i accomplish this? [05:26] wols_, eggies ought to be quartered and shot then [05:26] i have an nvidia 7800gt 256mg gpu, how do i get the drivers and such? [05:26] unop: if you have no clue what you talk about: be quiet. k? [05:26] !nvidia | alexjb [05:26] alexjb: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [05:26] thanks [05:26] well this is ridiculous if ubuntu won't run on the first 2 computers i try >.< it's good enough for windows... [05:26] alexanderwz, System>Administration>Hardware Drivers [05:27] bradley [05:27] wols_, yessir [05:27] can someone pastebin me there bashrc default [05:27] wols_, you ever run an eggdrop before? [05:27] Kristopher, is your install media good? [05:27] i accidentally replaced mine [05:27] Mr_Bad_News: cat /etc/skel/.bashrc [05:27] g0tcha: no. I'm still sane. sorta [05:27] , should be; it's a new cd [05:28] photon [05:28] do you have a better way of logging a channel for stats? [05:28] controlla [05:28] thanks wols_ [05:28] suggerisci [05:28] e distruggi [05:28] pezzidi merda [05:28] , fwiw, i did the 'disc at once' option [05:28] daniele: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:28] vi dite da soli che siete matti [05:28] Kristopher, when the CD boot menu loads, there is an option to verify the cd. You should try that. [05:29] how do i turn the computer off from busybox? ?? [05:29] Kristopher, the three finger salute [05:29] Kristopher: computer have a nice button on the case in general [05:30] Kristopher, ctrl+alt+del [05:30] Kristopher, ctrl-alt-delete perhaps, or just hold down the power button until it shuts off. Your filesystems aren't mounted, so you won't hurt anything. [05:30] thanks [05:30] , the power button wasn't doing anything, and this is a laptop, so i would have to remove the battery ;) [05:30] Kristopher, even when you held it down for several seconds? [05:31] hey, does anyone know how to enable textured video output on xf86-video-intel cards? [05:31] Textured video? [05:31] ...oh, i am not that patient :P in windows i don't need to hold it down :P [05:31] Kristopher, when things are broken you do. [05:31] EruditeHermit: do you mean direct rendering? [05:32] Holding the power button down will force the computer to shut off no matter what it's doing, even if it's crashed. [05:32] iptables wont stop so i remove it... === konkel is now known as E|Tomas-- [05:32] Grackle, as opposed to Xv overlay [05:32] komputes_: huh? [05:32] How do you assign a specific sound card over another? [05:32] E|Tomas--: huh? [05:32] wols_: huh? [05:33] wols_: ye [05:33] just because it's 10 years old, the lcd connection/ hinge is half broken, the jog dial doesn't have drivers and the hdd might have a bad sector does *not* mean my power button is broken :) [05:33] komputes_: E|Tomas-- suddenly changed his nick [05:33] E|Tomas--: you make no sense [05:34] i wont to remove my fucking firewall' [05:34] E|Tomas--: removing iptables is not the way to do it [05:34] !language [05:34] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [05:34] !language | E|Tomas-- [05:34] E|Tomas--: please see above [05:34] E|Tomas- can you change ur name if u wish.....because its hard to type [05:34] wols_, i have 2 ubuntu 8.04 machines wired in on the same router. one pc is named justice the other freedom, how can i accomplish this? [05:35] E|Tomas- what firewall are you talking about? [05:35] harpreet_: in ubuntu [05:35] How do you assign a specific sound card over another? [05:35] ok, there was an i/o error reading the cd.. and a hex number is printed at the top left. what should i do? [05:35] E|Tomas--: iptables -L [05:35] Kristopher: re burn [05:35] wols_: i dont have iptables [05:35] is there a way to get a visual download like the flash pluging installer? [05:35] E|Tomas--: wrong [05:35] E|Tomas- can you be specific? is this internet firewall, intranet or wat? [05:35] with the scrolling command line [05:36] !Firewall E|Etomas [05:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about firewall e [05:36] , but it was a new cd and i limited the burn speed to 8x .. why should there be an error? [05:36] Kristopher: how should we know? but there apparently is [05:36] I have two sound cards in my machine - on board and PCI... the default is the on board sound, but that is broken. How can I make Ubuntu use the PCI one? [05:36] ... [05:37] Kristopher, you'll have to find different media or a different machine to burn it. Or.. You might be able to install from USB. Do you have a 1GB or larger USB stick? [05:37] hello i got a problem with my wireless card, in windows i could connect to my wireless network i both floor of my house, now that ive changed to linux when i go to another floor of my house my pc in linux cannot reach the modem cause the signal of the modem is at 50% but i cannot connect it is like it were a very low signal(in windows i could connect) how can i aimplify my Laptop wireless strength? [05:37] Saladin, Go into your bios and disable your onboard sound. [05:37] , yes i do [05:37] Thank you, Ahadiel [05:38] Saladin, From your response I assume you know how to get there? [05:38] but i don't want to install it; i just want to run it, ie to test/compile programs in linux [05:38] i'm *trying* to make a hardy cd on this vista laptop (i don't know windows) it's saying i want to open ir045_uniclde.exe which is an Application from http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net ??? [05:38] Kristopher, get unetbootin (just google), and use it to make a bootable USB installer. It's pretty easy to use. Just format the USB drive before you run unetbootin [05:38] Yep. [05:38] Saladin, k === adam is now known as Adman65 [05:38] Mr_Bad_News, see the wget manpage on the --progress option [05:38] should i do 'disc at once' or 'track at once' if i try another burn? [05:38] okay, nm-applet shows networks, but when I select them, it completely drops the ball in trying to connect. [05:38] So, i got a fresh install of hardy, no sound [05:38] Kristopher, oh right, you don't want to install. Well, unetbootin will still work it. [05:39] intel ich5, everything appears to be set [05:39] wols_, can you point me into the right direction? [05:39] fortunately, I have a nearby un-encrypted network I was able to connect to, but how can I make nm-applet connect to networks properly again? [05:39] Kristopher, I dunno. I haven't used cdrecord for a long time. [05:39] i mean a gtk app UnFred [05:39] Adman65 problems with Alsa? [05:39] whenever I start gnome it gives me an error, unable to start hal or whatever, but starting it manually fixes it. it's not listed in the services applet, and may be related.. [05:39] Where does Ubuntu save the custom themes that a user makes? [05:39] or pluse [05:39] i donno [05:40] i've tried both [05:40] spoo1, probably somewhere in .gnome2 [05:40] setting playback to Alsa, or the card itself [05:40] Adman65 did you try in #Alsa ? the good guys might not be on now but they will be sometime [05:40] spool: ./themes in user's home [05:40] Grackle: where? [05:40] chalcedony: on vista u need to burn the cd [05:40] unop: Ive tried what they suggest on the website to change the background its not working. something is overriding my override. [05:41] Grackle: I'm sorry I don't know what you mean by .gnome2 [05:41] spool: ./themes in user's home [05:41] i guess i wil try burning on another com[puter/program [05:41] harpreet_ yes. do i not need that file? i had to get something to let me burn the iso and something else to work on that.. [05:41] Kristopher, I would try the USB method if I were you. [05:42] hrrm, that's odd [05:42] chalcedony: unfortunately you will have to download a third party trial software or something else so you could burn iso images otherwise this cannot be done in microsoft windows [05:42] wbmj: you mean /usr/share/themes? [05:42] , i use this flash drive frequently :/ [05:42] unop: oh nevermind, it worked. I just typed the command into the terminal. [05:42] issuing sudo /etc/init.d/dbus stop; sleep 5; sudo /etc/init.d/dbus start; makes it work fine.. [05:42] hmm [05:42] but why is dbus failing to start the first time ubuntu comes up ? [05:42] Kristopher, oh, I guess that would make things difficult. [05:43] chalcedony, Look into "imgburn" for windows, it's freeware and works great. [05:43] Kristopher, well good luck with burning on a different machine. [05:43] spool: no....open nautilus...then ctl-h...you will see the folder .themes [05:43] :( [05:43] yeah :/ [05:43] wbmj: I just did that right before you said that lol [05:44] Kristopher, it is possible that the machine you used to burn it works fine. It could be the cd image itself is corrupted.. You can check the md5sum of the file against the md5sum on the server [05:44] thank you very much [05:44] wbmj: +1 [05:44] spool: no problem [05:44] :) [05:44] chalcedony: if you use XP the best lightest most stable software for burning ISOs is this: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm [05:44] Mr_Bad_News, what do you need this progress bar thing for? [05:44] Kristopher, I had a cd burner that absolutely refused to make bootable cds, so I'd say it's entirely possible that yours has the same problem.

[05:49] chalcedony: yes the best one [05:49] sup guys [05:49] chalcedony: its light and made just for ISOs [05:50] , i'm not sure how the md5 works.. how would one number verify the cd / image? [05:50] chalcedony: Have you tried Nero, PowerISO, etc? [05:50] ok im ready to f'ing scream , i just did a 'fix' for firefox crashing and now everytime i open google while youtube is open it crashes [05:50] !md5sum | Kristopher [05:50] Kristopher: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [05:50] SimplyJohnny: which "fix" ? [05:50] LitomoSilver i just need the cd to get my network back up and thence my Linux box [05:50] wow this place is unhealpful today [05:50] Greetings again all [05:51] Ah. You're on Vista, correct? [05:51] chalcedony: dont bother with powerISO or NERO, they are both proprietary and not free and will restrict your use of them, use this one http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm [05:51] uriel: System > Preferences > Sound > tab labeled sounds [05:51] chalcedony, Use imgburn => http://www.imgburn.com/ [05:51] Has anyone else upgraded yet to Firefox 3.0.1? [05:51] wbmj: uriel already left [05:51] removing libflash.so and reinstalling [05:51] i did xTheGoat121x [05:51] guys i havae infarecorder.. let's go from there [05:51] it was even worse [05:51] I have, xTheGoat121x. [05:52] It is stable so far. [05:52] amirman ive got it [05:52] id switch to galeon if it would let me choose my own colors [05:52] and if its tab setup wasnt so annoying [05:52] SimplyJohnny, LitomoSilver, do either of you use dark themes? B/C 3.0.1 broke my dark theme fix. [05:52] Whenever I do chroot from Ubuntu, I always get an error like "chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Permission denied" Any idea why this happens? [05:52] i use xfce-dusk [05:52] every other time i try to play a movie on totem, mplayer, or vlc, my ubuntu freezes up... have to manually power down and restart the comp...any ideas on how to fix this? please? [05:52] SimplyJohnny: http://wvarner.blogspot.com/2008/05/firefox-crashing-on-youtube-in-ubuntu.html [05:52] i dont use any ff theme [05:52] I don't use dark themes, unfortunately. [05:52] wols_, i ssh'd to ubuntu and tried to telnet from there, it does the same thing [05:53] amirman it''s 'scanning SCSI /IDE Bus and asking about what letter drive [05:53] Kristopher, md5sum is a program that generates a cryptographic hash for a given file. md5sum file will output that hash along with the filename. If the hash is the same as the one listed on the server, then you know the file you downloaded isn't corrupted. I'll help you find the file that lists the md5sum for your image, hold on. [05:53] i am having troubles on my current theme in emerald, sometimes when i switch screens, the top close, minimize etc. disappear.... any thoughts on how to fix it? [05:53] * spoo1 is so happy that he doesn't use vista anymore!!!! [05:53] Anybody have a suggestion why gtkpod does not recognize when I've listened to a podcast on my iPod whenever I update it, after an upgrade to hardy? [05:53] SimplyJohnny: you shouldn't even need to do the last part where you edit the file, but see how it works and if it still crashes (it won't) try it [05:53] SimplyJohnny, all right... cuz my FF3 looks horrible. Black on black, black on dark gray... it's horrible and I can't figure out how to fix it again. [05:54] FAJALOU: emerald is crash-prone abandonware. Use gtk- or kde-window-decorator if you find it too unstable [05:54] have you tried gtk-chtheme xTheGoat121x ? [05:54] uninstall the themes and try it [05:54] crdlb: how so? b/c right now it looks fine and has worked? [05:54] Kristopher, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM#MD5SUM on Linux [05:54] i dont mess with ff themes [05:54] chalcedony: it seems like your CD burner isnt recognized by windows [05:54] anyone walk me through the steps please? [05:54] SimplyJohnny, I'll have to check that out. [05:55] SimplyJohnny, me either... I don't like FF themes, I prefer FF to follow my system [05:55] Kristopher, oops that link pasted badly, here it is: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM#MD5SUM%20on%20Linux [05:55] amirman it's a laptop the cd is built in [05:55] chalcedony: are you sure it has burning capabilities? [05:55] trimeta, does the directory you are trying to chroot to have a directory heirarchy within it? or better, how did you create this directory? [05:55] how do you get awesome to have a menu so i can get to system preferences? [05:55] ok, i'm checking :) [05:55] FAJALOU: it's buggy, but that doesn't mean you'll always hit the bugs [05:55] HACKERS! GO TO ADEQUACY.ORG TO READ THE REAL STORY OF LUNIX AND UBUNTU! [05:55] amirman we bought it at christmas YES YES .. it does everythig [05:56] at work on our windows boxes i can connect to another pc\shared with \\pcname\path [05:56] can i do this in ubuntu? [05:56] chalcedony: if only you had an ubuntu live cd... [05:56] recently i have been dealing with another issue too when i reboot, even though my things on the gnome panel are locked, they seem to move around. it is only one spot, but it is still frusturating [05:56] wbmj: Whats the best way to back up a theme? I have mixed a few themes together and I want to be able to post it and share it... [05:56] er.. how to use md5sum if linux won't work?? :( [05:56] Ordering LiveCDs from Canonical is fairly simple. [05:56] But not when you need them NOW. >_>; [05:56] Kristopher, you can get md5sum for your OS [05:57] Wait... [05:57] it's an Acer extensa 5620 [05:57] How about trying the Wubi installer? [05:57] FAJALOU: do you lock them after things are added to the notification area? [05:57] That should work as well. [05:57] o_O; [05:57] SimplyJohnny, unfortunately, I don't think that peice of software will help me. [05:57] HACKERS! GO TO ADEQUACY.ORG TO READ THE REAL STORY OF LUNIX AND UBUNTU! [05:57] !ops > Some_Person spamming [05:57] Some_Person, please see my private message [05:57] The only thing you'd need is a virtual cd/dvd drive to get the LiveCD downloaded working. [05:57] Some_Person that's offensive [05:57] amirman: what do you mean the notification area, yes the notification area is one of the things that moves aroung [05:57] crimsun_: ? [05:58] spool: left click on the theme folder that you made.....there is an option to create an archive [05:58] Harley^: ? [05:58] hjehe [05:58] im really tired of firefox sometimes. [05:58] I forgot what channel we were on [05:58] hehehe [05:58] !ops | Some_Person is spamming [05:58] Ahadiel: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:58] dont ban me, i was only making a joke, to see the reaction, i didnt get anything though [05:58] can someone explain me, how i can change the actual rights of the partition i mounted into a directory? e.g. i mounted sda7 into /home/michael/Downloads but can't access it [05:58] but, its working now [05:58] none of my downloads ever want finish downloading. [05:58] i am a proud ubuntu user, and will stop [05:58] FAJALOU: next time you log into your system fresh, moves things where they need to go before adding anything to the notification area, then lock them [05:59] crimsun_: So what was done to fix it ? [05:59] Harley^: we made your onboard the secondary instead of the default/primary. [05:59] Some_Person: this channel isn't really accepting of jokes, even funny ones, they're disruptive, this is a getting-things-done channel, try ##club-ubuntu for jokes [05:59] micheal_ : should be able to change rights in properties [05:59] crimsun_: What command did that ? [05:59] amirman: not following you... what is the notification area? [06:00] Harley^: the configuration for snd.ko's slots parameter. [06:00] Notification area would be the clock and icons on the upper right, FAJALOU [06:00] choices of drive are E or F ? [06:00] FAJALOU: the part of the gnome-panel that functions like the system tray in windows, [06:00] amirman choices of drive are E or F ? [06:00] wbmj: ok, i've got set owner/group of the downloads directory already, but as i read i've got to change the right of the actual partition ? [06:00] chalcedony: try both [06:00] wbmj: duh.... I'm sorry I'm trying to make this harder then it is.... its spoo(one) BTW :) thank you for your help you are awesome [06:01] chalcedony: try E and if it doesnt work try F [06:01] spool:np [06:01] maybe directly accessing /dev/sda7 ? [06:01] amirman: ok i have it all where i want it right now... so what next? b/c what is happening is that the system tray is moving things out of the way [06:02] how do i increase the power of my wireless card [06:02] It shouldn't, so long as you lock them. o_O; [06:02] and get it to quit shitting out on me [06:02] FAJALOU: you need to lock them where they go as soon as you log in, you have to be sure there arent things running there that aren't always there. [06:02] amirman: Wouldn't locking them in the current session do the same thing anyways? [06:03] amirman: i have the regular things open that i log in with opened, and i now have it locked... [06:03] SimplyJohnny: try not to use bad language here, go to system>administration>software sources and enable 3rd party sources (both checkboxes) then close it, it should find your wireless driver [06:04] Hello. Is there any advantage of installing Ubuntu on 64 bits if you have less than 4 GB of RAM? [06:04] i've already enabled all software sources [06:04] ... D'oh. [06:04] LitomoSilver: only if the things in the notification area are always there, if he has an icon there for an app that he has opened manually or something like the system updater, it will lock it and have an empty space where those things are [06:04] my card works [06:04] dcsquare: you have to make sure that your computer will run it. [06:04] I should've done that x_x; [06:04] Ah, makes sense. [06:04] crimsun_: Are you using UbuntuStudio ? [06:04] dcsquare: no need RAM === spoo1 is now known as spoonation [06:04] it just shits out every few minutes and i have to click on nm-applet and set it to the network [06:04] dcsquare: there is a difference between 32 bit and 64 bit [06:04] !away | spoonation [06:04] Harley^: not per se. [06:05] I have a q6600 processor, so I can run 64 bit Ubuntu [06:05] spoonation: You should avoid noisy away messages in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away " to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» [06:05] , the md5sum check worked ok [06:05] SimplyJohnny: the only thing i can think is that if you have proposed packages enabled, the new kernel added a new wireless module for me, maybe that might help you too, or maybe not [06:06] FAJALOU: I don't get it... [06:06] crimsun_: You zeroed in on the problem and it seems to be resolved [06:06] will running 64 bit hurt a computer made to run 32 bit? [06:06] but in Windows the only reason you would install 64 bit version is to support more than 4 GB of RAM, cause other than that you would get only head aches: less druvers, lots of application that won't work on a 64 bit architecture etc [06:06] spoonation: sorry wrong message, please don't try to do things that are noisy, like changing your nick in channel [06:07] True, but Windows64-bit can run 32bit software. [06:07] o_O; [06:07] crimsun_: I have copied all of the commands into a text file for future reference [06:07] amirman i found it in E.. :) now it's trying to have me find the iso file, i think? [06:07] oh ok sorry I didn't know that thank you :) [06:07] Harley^ wise man [06:07] i also log the channel [06:07] chalcedony: then you should be on your way to having a fresh ubuntu disc, as long as you remember where you stored the ISO [06:07] i clicked download [06:08] chalcedony: not the first time, I wasn't LOL [06:08] and yes.. [06:08] LitomoSilver: in theory yes... but have you tried premiere 5 on XP64? it's not pretty... [06:08] is gotham knight the new batman flick [06:08] i don't know where it put it. i can see it on the desktop [06:08] No, but I'll be sure to try Premiere 5 on XP-64 [06:08] !offtopic [06:08] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [06:09] Anyways, I've been meaning to ask how you can set Ubuntu to use a certain soundcard rather than integrated sound? >_>; [06:09] I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 [06:09] i want to uninstall ubuntu and be able to go back to using just windows can someone help me [06:09] LitomoSilver: my point was that if you need to use legacy apps you'd best stay away from 64 bits [06:09] True. [06:09] !dualboot | bigboy99 [06:09] bigboy99: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot === baron1984 is now known as AlmightyCthulhu [06:09] i am on dual boot but i want to get rid of ubuntu [06:09] Lol, yeah I have a dual-boot config. >:D [06:10] Then wiping the Ubuntu partition should be a simple matter. o_O; [06:10] LitomoSilver: you can either use asoundconf or modprobe configuration. [06:10] LitomoSilver: the latter is preferred but more intrusive. [06:10] bigboy99> xp disk and fixmbr [06:10] i need to know how to get rid of the grub boot manager [06:10] crimsun_: Which would be...? I'm not familiar with the two stuff. [06:10] bigboy99: run the livecd and use gparted to erase the ubuntu partition [06:10] how do i get gparted [06:10] LitomoSilver: well, what's the problem, and what are you attempting? [06:11] i am not on xp [06:11] bigboy99: then use your windows disc to load into a repair commandline and run /fixmbr [06:11] Whats a linux application just for handling xdcc downloads? that support auto re connecting of downloads etc? [06:11] bigboy99: or it may just be fixmbr without the slash [06:12] Here's what I'm trying to do. I have two sound systems in this system, right? I want to route the sounds, ALL of them, to the sound system that isn't blocked by the I/O plate like the integrated sound is. I want to see if I can disable the onboard sound and use the discrete soundcard. [06:12] bigboy99: gparted is on the livecd [06:12] bigboy99: or just tell grub's menu.lst to boot to windows. that way you can experiment with ubuntu when you want to. [06:12] Hi [06:12] LitomoSilver: Just disable onboard sound in your BIOS. ^^ [06:12] I know. >_>; [06:13] Not an option until I need to reboot. [06:13] anyone know how to make ndiswrapper not suck ? :P [06:13] !hi | CastilleV [06:13] CastilleV: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [06:13] Then again I could do /os global The server is going down for maintenance and will knock you offline. >_>; [06:13] and reboot and disable it anyways. [06:13] ok but how do i get gparted from the live cd [06:13] FAJALOU: if he has grub on his ubuntu partition (like i do and most who run the safest options during an ubuntu install do) that won't help [06:14] Atomicsunset: ndisgtk is a GUI frontend that is easy to use [06:14] * CastilleV does IRC testing [06:14] amirman: but then he could keep ubuntu and play with it if he wants to [06:14] Rephrase: on a quad core processor with 2 GB of RAM, would I have any advantage of running Ubuntu 64 vs Ubuntu 32? [06:14] bigboy99: when you load into ubuntu from the live cd go to system>administration>partition editor [06:14] i think i'll just request a free cd... there might be problems with my computer hardware / cd burner / cds / iso image / burning software... this debugging is terribly impossible o.o [06:14] FAJALOU: he doesn't want to [06:14] ndiswrapper has a gui too but im just about fed up with my wifi card through ubuntu [06:15] amirman: any more ideas about gnome-panel [06:15] amirman NTI CD % DVD Maker has stopped working, A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. [close program] [06:15] Atomicsunset: have you tried enabling 3rd party software sources so you can use the proprietary drivers for your wireless card? [06:15] chalcedony: it sounds like a hardware issue to me [06:15] FAJALOU: did that not work? [06:16] no i havent [06:16] Ok... now I need to find the Creative sound card drivers. >_>; [06:16] amirman it better not be [06:16] i did try screamin and cursing but neither did me much good [06:16] and why [06:16] yet.... [06:16] And try looking at the sysinfo. [06:16] well in the system tray it is locked with everything else with the same amount of stuff it has on login, but it still moves stuff around [06:16] ok thank you i will try it [06:16] Atomicsunset: go to system>administration>software sources and on the 3rd party tab select both checkboxes, then close, it will then update and automatically install drivers for you [06:16] Ubuntu Rocks! [06:17] update via online or disc? [06:17] LitomoSilver: Try this site - https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/35890 [06:17] Atomicsunset: online [06:17] Hey all [06:17] i cant get online through ubuntu. i have 3 hotspots but ubuntu cant see the one i connect to [06:17] im in windows now [06:17] it sees all 3 connections [06:18] Atomicsunset, What wireless card do you have? [06:18] 2 are secured the one im on is not, it just has a very weak signal [06:18] Atomicsunset: you'll need to connect with a lan cable for a few minutes but after the wireless driver installs, you're good to go [06:18] my wireless card works tho [06:18] i can see 2 connections [06:18] i have a broadcom card [06:18] !b43 [06:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about b43 [06:18] one sec i can get exact model n chip set [06:19] damn the b43! [06:19] Atomicsunset: ubuntu can install broadcom drivers very easily for you automatically if you follow the steps i've given you [06:19] amirman: I don't think Atomic has hardwire access [06:19] amirman: would i be able to use my wifi if the drivers are not installed. like i said ive connected to hotspots already through it [06:19] i dont [06:20] im just a useless leech to my neighbors atm [06:20] i just moved in [06:20] Atomicsunset: you've connected wirelessly with ubuntu already? [06:20] correct [06:20] there are 3 hotspots where i am [06:20] I'm going away for a month and want to be able to queue up some downloads from XDCC bots... anyone know ehat I can use to do this? Also needs to be able to survive poweroutages [06:20] Atomicsunset maybe they've realized they had a leech and hid the essid ;) [06:21] windows sees all 3 [06:21] anyone know how to get irc bots to stop sending me stupid useless messages every time I join a server [06:21] heh [06:21] no cuz im on it right now [06:21] You know... the best way is to not be cheap!! [06:21] just through windows [06:21] ronin: use dc++ [06:21] oh, well, you see it in windows. Not the solution [06:21] i know i know [06:21] exactly [06:21] or do you mean from irc bots, not a hub? [06:21] irc [06:21] Atomicsunset: if you could get connected with a cable you'll be in business the only other way i know is to use NDISwrapper which is a pain in the bottom [06:22] i agree [06:22] e [06:22] or find a way to crack the other 2's wpa [06:22] :P [06:22] Atomicsunset: maybe you can find a .deb of the driver you need online, what's the exact model? [06:22] DC++ is troublesome from china as almost everyhub is on a dynamicIP host and therefor blocked [06:22] hi, I downloaded ubuntu via firefox and now it says that it can't find the file :-( [06:22] amirman you've missed the point: his ubuntu wireless works, but he doesn't see a hotspot he expects to [06:22] well there are some clients that can automatically accept downloads without asking you for permission [06:23] Miranda in windows? do a search [06:23] BCM 0465 REV 3.9 [06:23] nickrud: yeah, but the drivers should boost performance of his wireless. === nl|away is now known as nl [06:23] Miranda: Is the listing still in your download window in Firefox? [06:23] chipset 4311 / 2050 [06:23] taladel: yes [06:23] yeah but the adverage client will forget what was requested and then I can only queue on the server... I need local queueing... there are a few windows apps for it so i suppose i could try wine [06:24] nickrud: he said he's never enabled 3rd party software sources so he's not using the proprietary driver [06:24] im using the default updated ubuntu drivers [06:24] Right click the listing and go to 'Open containing folder'. See if that does anything. [06:24] amirman, he IS using the proprietary driver with ndiswrapper [06:24] i connected and updated the basics [06:24] but that was at a coffee shop [06:24] amirman b43 is in restricted and b43-fwcutter is in main [06:25] how can i figure out what driver is beig used by my video card [06:25] i have tried bothe b43 b43cutter and the fuego [06:25] moreau: device manager? [06:25] I'd like to set the screensaver to "Random" but only include a specific list of screensavers to choose from.. The easy way that occurs to me is to track down the individual screensaver modules and just remove them. Is there an easier way to do this? If not, where would I look for the screensaver files? [06:25] Miranda: Right click the listing and go to 'Open containing folder'. See if that does anything. [06:26] device manager? wheres that? [06:26] theres only 'hardware devices' under system>admin [06:26] taladel: did that. the computer said that the file did not exist. :-/ [06:26] ohh [06:26] Scott_Johnstone i think they're in /usr/share/xscreensaver/config [06:26] nickrud: thanks I'll check [06:26] taladel: did you reboot after downloading? [06:26] moreau: sudo apt-get install gnome-device-manager [06:27] moreau: doesn't come standard. Go to synaptic package manager and search for device manager [06:27] taladel: I am going to re-download and save it to the folder because firefox downloaded it as a disc instead of a disc image [06:27] and that seems to be trying to list restricted/proprietary drivers (cuz its an emty list) [06:27] moreau: applications/add-remove [06:27] ah ok [06:27] Scott_Johnstone that doesn't feel right, I think they're somewhere else (unless the format changed again) [06:27] search for device manager [06:27] nickrud: that looks like the place! [06:27] Miranda: good call [06:27] AtomicMongoose: best guide i've found for bcm wireless and ndiswrapper. the drivers they mention may be old though. just use the correct windows drivers for your card: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff [06:27] moreau: Then, once it has installed just run gnome-device-manager in terminal [06:27] moreau: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/35890 <-- Tells you how to add it to the menu [06:28] can i use fiesty with harvy? or hardy or whatever :P [06:28] amirman: any thoughts on the gnome-panel? [06:28] thanks guys [06:28] moreau: np [06:28] nickrud: hmm actually I think you're right about that being the wrong place after all, these are just .xml files [06:28] good luk moreau! [06:28] Okay, I'm here day two in a row. I put the ubuntu .iso file onto a disc, and when i tried to boot up the computer, I choose "ubuntu" on the grub menu. but NOTHING worked. [06:28] AtomicMongoose: just follow the directions, worked for me in Hardy [06:28] aight [06:28] FAJALOU: what applets do you have on your panel? [06:28] just went to a black screen with an MsDOS look to it. [06:28] thanks a bunch man [06:28] Daniel_2 do you have any other OSes on the computer? [06:29] Windows Vista [06:29] Also, Daniel_2, did you download the desktop edition? Or the server edition? [06:29] Desktop edition [06:29] or the alternate install [06:29] Desktop edition for AMD 64bit [06:29] search applet, space, cpu monitor, space system tray, network connection, sound, notification area weather,seperator time, shutdown button [06:30] Have you tried using the Wubi installer that comes with the LiveCD? [06:30] Daniel_2: See my PM please. [06:31] Scott_Johnstone /usr/share/applications/screensavers [06:31] swrew wubi, don't be a wuss! just install it! =) [06:31] amirman: PM? [06:31] kindofabuzz: I used Wubi the first time. Couldn't get it to work properly. [06:31] eh the device manager seems worthless--it just tells me the name/model of my video card, doesnt seem to be any driver information at all [06:31] I'm having issues getting OSS to install. I'm following Temujin's guide on the forum, and I get an error message saying "Relinking the OSS kernel modules failed". Thoughts? [06:32] Then installed it straight from the LiveCD the second time. [06:32] just make a partition and install it. [06:32] Got it working the second time. [06:32] taladel: I know what happened....sonic recording now saved it as a temp file...and deleted it when the file was not compatible [06:32] delete your windows xp and be happy [06:32] miranda: I see. [06:32] kindofabuzz: VERY true, my friend! [06:32] moreau: what card [06:32] moreau: glxinfo or Xorg.0.log [06:32] kindofabuzz: Well, sometimes one needs Windows...hence, install XP within VirtualBox once you're done. [06:32] Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller [06:32] who NEEDS windows? === kevin__ is now known as KevinOO [06:33] newbs [06:33] lol [06:33] People who program in .NET [06:33] kindofabuzz: When Wine isn't good enough to make that one program run. [06:33] Lol. That's what I intend to do, delete XP on this system and extend the partition to take up the entire two hard drives. [06:33] moreau you'd be using xserver-xorg-video-intel driver [06:33] trimeta: i'm sure there is a better linux alternative anyways [06:33] i cant get any video plugin to play video [06:33] kindofabuzz: Not in every situation. Maybe it's some old unsupported software your company relies upon. [06:33] * julio_neto Hello everybody! [06:34] nickrud: how can i find out more info about it, like whether or not opengl is running, or direct2d info, and crap like that [06:34] taladel: they shouldn't even be messing with .NET =) [06:34] !hi|julio_neto [06:34] julio_neto: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [06:34] !xine | SimplyJohnny [06:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about xine [06:34] xine doesnt work either [06:34] anyone installed NAS on ubuntu before? [06:34] i said any plugin [06:34] !doesn't work [06:34] 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. [06:34] SimplyJohnny: have you tried vlc? [06:34] hi [06:34] moreau: Maybe try glxinfo? [06:34] vlc totem mplayer xine [06:34] SimplyJohnny: What are you trying to play?? [06:34] moreau the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log has an incredible amount of info, and glxinfo and xdpyinfo provide a bunch more [06:34] a movie [06:34] SimplyJohnny: are you talking about for firefox? [06:34] moreau: I told you long ago [06:34] yes [06:34] kindofabuzz: I don't disagree, but a lot of programmers I know make their living programming in .NET [06:34] moreau glxinfo and xdpyinfo are commands [06:34] Blah. How do you disable the Intel integrated sound? -_-; [06:34] SimplyJohnny: DVD movie? [06:35] WITHOUT rebooting and disabling it via BIOS, please. [06:35] ...its a firefox plugin [06:35] idk the format [06:35] SimplyJohnny: have you installed flash 10 beta yet? [06:35] LitomoSilver: blacklist the driver [06:35] LitomoSilver: blisti t [06:35] yes amirman it worked [06:35] wols_: How do you do that, then? o_o [06:35] but i dont know if it wont crash anymore yet [06:35] I understand the concept. Not necessarily how to do it. :P [06:35] !blacklist [06:35] To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [06:36] LitomoSilver sudo modprobe -r snd-hda-intel [06:36] Ah. [06:36] SimplyJohnny: you can't view videos with flash 10? [06:36] its not flash [06:36] how do I find out the ip of my NAS within ubuntu, its displayed as samba shared [06:36] SimplyJohnny: then what is it? unless you start giving enough info, helping you is hard... [06:36] LitomoSilver that doesn't blacklist, it removes it from the running kernel [06:36] !blacklist | LitomoSilver [06:36] LitomoSilver: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [06:36] i dont know [06:36] its on tv-links [06:36] http://www.tv-links.cc/redir4.php?l=aHR0cDovL3d3dy52aWRlb2VtYmVkZGVyLmNvbS9wbGF5LnBocD90eXBlPXpzaGFyZSZ2YWw9ekVCazljZzg/VHM5by56M2NMRkcvNDVrNjZ2S21uP1ZWWHFVOUR1elBQLmZyeGdZRFQ= [06:37] !warez [06:37] piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels.

[06:39] So I got my screens setup the way I want using xrandr. How can i make this a permanent setting that I can switch to and from using xorg.conf or something? [06:39] I know, nickrud. [06:39] Anyone know a good ftp? [06:39] I'm trying to blacklist my intel integrated sound. [06:39] wols_: I dont know, i just plugged it in, and its visible in my samba shares, but how can you mount a nas? I mean its connected only with a network cable [06:39] LitomoSilver to remove support for the intel sound chip, try sudo modprobe -r snd-hda-intel [06:39] trimeta, You can message ubottu with the !trigger and it'll respond in that PM. [06:39] Already did that. Got no confirmation that it was done. It was then, I take it? [06:40] Ahadiel: Good to know; I tried joining #ubuntu-bot to see if there was a place to easily mess with him, but no such luck. [06:40] LitomoSilver that should work in a running system. lsmod | grep snd will show you the sound modules loaded [06:40] LitomoSilver and yes, no output is nearly always a sign of success rather than failure [06:40] guys ... [06:41] ? [06:41] BrandonS, what does that mean? [06:41] Ok, I just wanted to be sure. :P === excess21 is now known as excess^ [06:41] http://www.pastebin.org/57215 anyone good with mythtv want to help me get set up?

[06:48] can anyone help me get mozilla-mplayer [06:49] saladin: using that theory, is it possible to install windows from ubuntu? [06:49] Should be possible, moreau. [06:50] saladin my os is ubuntun 8.04 ,i want change it to xubuntu 7.10 , my pc is old [06:50] moreau: Not that I am aware of. Windows has to install from boot. [06:50] >_>; If you can install Ubuntu from Windows, likewise you can probably try installing Windows from Ubuntu. >_>; [06:50] windows likes to be first.. it insists on it [06:50] SimplyJohnny: I'm just checking, but did you see what I said earlier? [06:50] can somebody help me with my audio it suddenly stopped working a while ago and i havn't been able to fix it [06:50] moreau: Whereas Hardy has an Install From Windows option.

[06:51] moreau: on a file system directly in the ntfs drive [06:51] does anyone know how to install frostwire in xubuntu? === robert__ is now known as Guest88207 [06:51] eh imalready on ubuntu man, wrong person :P [06:51] anubis5555: Yes, it is possible but there are some special tweaks to do, nothing hard, it is document on the net. [06:51] SimplyJohnny: I said, I'm in Windows and I couldn't get anything from that site to play in FF or IE, even after I let the ActiveX control install. [06:52] moreau: you were ridiculing the concept - he had the right person [06:52] could you give a link DrReal House [06:52] robert__: Go to www.getdeb.net, there is a package if I remember well. [06:52] does anyone know how to install frostwire in xubuntu? [06:52] thank you, I'ii see it [06:52] what was i ridiculing? [06:53] thanks [06:54] address not found [06:54] Does anyone know how to remove an install of ubuntu from my grub menu? [06:54] It failed, and i need it gone so i can restart [06:54] Daniel_2: you need to edit your menu.lst file in /boot/grub/ [06:54] anubis5555: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype to install skype on amd64 [06:54] Daniel_2: Restart what? an Ubuntu install? [06:55] Daniel_2: Are you dual-booting with another Linux distro? If not, you might want to do more than just mess with menu.lst. [06:55] Amirman: that made no sense. [06:55] Flannel: yup [06:55] Daniel_2: just start the install again [06:55] thank you DrRealHouse [06:55] hi ... whats 64 studio ? [06:55] Trimeta: no. I'm trying to get my computer to boot from a CD instead of the HDD so i can install ubuntu [06:56] Daniel_2: That's a matter of changing your BIOS to make the CD come first. [06:56] Trimeta: and how would this be done. [06:56] hit F2 or whatever when its booting to go into BIOS [06:56] When your computer first boots, it'll say something like "Press F2 for setup," it might not be F2, so actually read. [06:56] @daniel2 [06:56] Daniel_2: try setting it to boot from cd rom thru your bios setup [06:56] DrRealHouse: I think it is easy [06:56] :) [06:57] Trimeta: been through that a few times. It won't let me set any priority, just gives me three options (HDD, CD, and LAN) and then says press enter to select [06:57] anubis5555: Possible, it is been a while that my skype is installed :) [06:57] Daniel_2: Your BIOS should give you instructions at the bottom of the screen, as to what buttons to press. [06:57] Saladin: nope. [06:58] Daniel_2: You hit the wrong one then; it might have had "F2 for boot options or F12 for setup," or something like that. [06:58] Saladin: i've looked twice. I get nothing. Stupid Toshiba is trying to fuck me over. [06:58] Trimeta: F12 for boot options, and i tried it. [06:58] Or Del for the setup [06:58] >_>; [06:58] Then you're not doing it fast enough. [06:58] Daniel_2: Some PC offer at boot time : F2 to setup, F8 to select boot method (or something similar depending of the PC brand) [06:58] F8 on some machines I've used [06:58] f2 on my toshiba laptop [06:59] Daniel_2: hit F 12 [06:59] There's a set time to get into the BIOS before the boot splash shows up. [06:59] I got into the F12 boot menu. From there, it gives me no options. [06:59] o_o [06:59] LitomoSilver: i've gotten into the menu [06:59] Daniel_2 how about the bios setup, maybe some are disabled [06:59] Daniel_2: The setup menu is what you want, not the boot menu. [06:59] Let me go again and write down exactly what it says. i'll see from there. [06:59] Or BIOS setup, some other optoin. [06:59] Daniel_2: how are you talking to us while your computer is on the bios screen ?? [07:00] It isn't, Vegombrei [07:00] That would help, Daniel_2 [07:00] hehehe [07:00] brb [07:00] boot menu sounds right. i've never seen a BIOS that doesn't allow one to change the boot order. [07:00] * nickrud waits for Daniel_2 to bop Vegombrei upside the head [07:00] Vegombrei: Never heard of brain implants :) [07:00] Same, prince_jammys [07:00] Daniel_2: remember .. its the boot sequence you need to change [07:01] Oh, one final thing: I have a problem with the way the .iso is on the CD. When I put it into the drive, it doesn't run the .iso. just opens an explorer window showing the contents of the CD. Did i do it wrong? [07:01] nickrud: Hey you were just helping me with screensavers... I checked in /usr/share/applications/screensavers/ and there are a bunch of .desktop files that look like what I might be supposed to delete... [07:01] well i got the ndiswrapper to work finally [07:01] Daniel_2: Yes. [07:01] You did it wrong. [07:01] Crud. [07:01] l337ingDisorder yeah, did you see my last to you? Pointed at that one ;) [07:01] Daniel_2: you need to burn it as an image, not a file [07:01] nickrud: I tried moving them to ../bak, logged out, and logged back in... they still show up in the screensaver list [07:01] I put it on there as a data file using the windows burner [07:01] Daniel_2: You need to burn the .iso with Nero or something, that will make it an actual install disc [07:02] but i cant ping anything nor myself and my connection drops to 0% after a minute [07:02] nickrud: Yep that's why I'm addressing you specifically this time around ;) [07:02] Okay. now i have to go get nero... this is a complicated set up. [07:02] Daniel_2: check the options of whatever software you're using to burn it, and make sure to burn as image [07:02] Yeah you did do wrong, Daniel_2 [07:02] l337ingDisorder try removing all but 2, and setting random, see what happens [07:02] I'll be back with Nero. [07:02] Daniel_2: Google for 'Image burners' - You may find a free one. [07:02] Daniel_2: yeah you need nero [07:02] Daniel_2: 'deepburner' will do it, for windows. it's free. [07:02] nero can be found for free [07:02] imgburn, ifrarecorder, both gpl [07:03] Atomicsunset: True, but not as easily as others. [07:03] Daniel_2, use http://imgburn.com [07:03] nickrud: ok hold on [07:03] You know, I like that Ubuntu picks up the file is a .iso and then offers you the selection automatically to burn it as an image. [07:03] ^^ [07:03] what causes wifi connections to drop to 0% in ubuntu after 1 minute? [07:03] l337ingDisorder I'm in and out tonight [07:04] Really, Saladin? [07:04] Atomicsunset: Why bother searching for a free Nero? Not like he'll be using Windows much longer. ;) [07:04] Didn't know that. Should be useful to know. [07:04] anyone know why a folder wouldnt appear in nautilus,but would list itself in terminal [07:04] Saladin, that would help, if it weren't that i'm trying to burn an image to use Ubuntu lol [07:04] i can connect but i have no internet and it loses all activity but claims im still connected [07:04] very true saladin === Guest36101 is now known as stony [07:04] moreau there's a way to mark folders to be skipped in the display ... [07:04] moreau: what command did you use to list it in the terminal? [07:04] moreau: It is probably hidden. Use CTRL+H to show hidden files and folders [07:04] i want to say the same for myself! [07:05] This is why I have a dual-boot config. >_>; [07:05] my wfi is being a pain tho === stony is now known as Guest18545 [07:05] same here [07:05] im in windows atm [07:05] * julio_neto encheu o saco [07:05] XP and Ubuntu. Though this computer will be wiped clean soon and have Xubuntu installed on it... or Kubuntu. === _stony is now known as stony [07:05] I can't remember which ones is for slower computers. [07:06] Ok. Now I'm using ImgBurn. I just click "write image file to disc" and click the file? [07:06] LitomoSilver, Xubuntu (XFCE) [07:06] Daniel_2, yes [07:06] LitomoSilver: xu. but flux is good too === stony is now known as Guest44101 [07:06] Yeah, LitomoSilver: Just double click the .iso file, and it comes up with the option to burn. ^^ [07:06] Lol, then I burned Xubuntu. [07:06] flux? [07:06] Is xfce any good? [07:06] Xfce is nice and lightweight. [07:06] LitomoSilver: the fluxbox desktop [07:06] I've tried KDE but hated it. [07:06] I've also used DSL... DamnSmallLinux [07:06] Ah. Of course. Should've been obvious. [07:06] Fluxbox is even more lightweight than XFCE. [07:07] * LitomoSilver facepalmed [07:07] is there a "netstumbler" for ubuntu? [07:07] And to get fluxbox would take what? [07:07] nickrud: ok tried moving all into ../bak then moving three back into . [07:07] i wanna scan to see where my signal is strongest [07:07] nickrud: now screensaver will only display Xlyap [07:07] LitomoSilver: sudo apt-get install fluxbox [07:07] LitomoSilver: Either install from the fluxbuntu CD, or apt-get install fluxbox. [07:07] Saladin: whats different in KDE ? [07:07] agh sorry for the slow response, but its not a hidden folder, showing hidden items wnt display it [07:07] Getting fluxbox via apt-get [07:07] l337ingDisorder then you're on the right path [07:07] nickrud: although all of them still show up in the list and the little mini-preview for all of them works [07:07] and i cd-ed to the dir above it and did 'dir' [07:08] l337ingDisorder that's probably due to the xml files we looked at earlier [07:08] Vegombrei: Not a great deal, It is just a different GUI. For me, it is a little too kiddy - reminds me of XP but for six year olds. [07:08] LitomoSilver: getting it setting up involves work, but it's pretty cool once you have it the way you want it. xubuntu is easier [07:08] is there an alternate wifi manager? [07:08] True, Xubuntu is easier. [07:08] I've used Xubuntu before. [07:08] aha so I'll move them and replace the ones that I've re-enabled in the apps dir [07:08] It is pretty good. >:D [07:08] Saladin: totally changeable through config [07:08] Atomicsunset: Wicd is an alternative--there are others as well [07:09] But to be honest, you could interchangeably use different sets, such as KDE, GNOME and Xfce right? [07:09] prince-jammys: Yeah, but I'm lazy, and Gnome seems to be more pleasurable on the eyes. And, I've gotten used to Gnome now. [07:09] im just getting irritated with this almost there but not quite [07:09] LitomoSilver: yep [07:09] Alrighty. [07:09] LitomoSilver, Yup, I'm using Openbox/Gnome right now. [07:09] * prince_jammys is a config freak [07:09] Ok. Got Fluxbox installed. [07:09] Okay, burning now. but is there anyway to install ubuntu without going through the boot up menu mess? Like as in: Install Ubuntu while windows is running, and through windows. [07:09] I'd forgotten about that .hidden file, very handy [07:10] LitomoSilver: one can use kde gnome xfce all at once ?? [07:10] No. [07:10] LitomoSilver: By using sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and then replace ubuntu with xubuntu/kubuntu. [07:10] One at a time. [07:10] But you can have them all installed at once. [07:10] Correct, trimeta [07:10] !wubi | Daniel_2 [07:10] Daniel_2: 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.

[07:11] can anyone help me get mozilla-mplayer working [07:11] Although, Enlightenment does mix both Gnome and KDE. [07:11] I've been wanting to cut down on the fat that Ubuntu has. :P And run it as minimally as possible while still having a gui >_>; [07:11] none of the mozilla plugins are working [07:11] ubuntu has a program called andlinux that will put ununtu inside of windows xp [07:11] One question on Wubi: does it overwrite the failed Ubuntu install or does it put up another one along side it? [07:12] Daniel_2: Overwrite. [07:12] prince_jammys: I know it takes time. :P I mean what do I do to kickstart the fluxbox config? [07:12] Daniel_2: Overwrite. [07:12] Daniel_2 it puts it into a file inside of windows [07:12] I had a failed install. [07:12] Saladin, that's a huge help. Thanks. [07:12] nickrud: ok tried moving all the .xml files and replacing the ones that have .desktop files left in the apps dir [07:12] nickrud: same result [07:12] I overwrote it with a valid image of Ubuntu. [07:12] U too litomosilver. you guys are great. [07:12] THerefore, here I am. =D [07:12] l337ingDisorder not sure then. It's an interesting exercise ;) [07:12] You're welcome, Daniel_2. [07:12] Litomo: Just use sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [07:13] well that's ballsack. :P heh [07:13] Then you won't have to do a fresh install. [07:13] Just use Xfce as your default GUI. [07:13] l337ingDisorder it could be you would need to restart gnome-session, or gnome-screensaver if it's running as a daemon [07:13] LitomoSilver: log out of your current session, and switch to 'fluxbox' in the sessions menu of the login screen [07:13] hmm yea true, worth a shot :) [07:13] brb [07:13] Ah. [07:13] Alrighty. [07:13] LitomoSilver: try this http://linuxowns.wordpress.com/2008/07/22/fluxbox_on_ubuntu_guide/ [07:14] Thanks, Rat409. [07:14] sure [07:14] Looking at it now. [07:14] Keyboard weirdness: Yesterday my Ubuntu 8.04 system blocked access to all GUI objects except the current window (but not even its menu bar) - as I could still do Ctrl-Alt-F1 I found tail /var/log/messages to hold several intermittent entries of "SetGrabKeysState - disabled" and "SetGrabKeysState - enabled". After a reboot, the mystery continues with the numeric block being ignored (though NumLock can be turned on and [07:14] Does anyone have an idea what could be causing these symptoms? [07:15] Now if i use Wubi, will i still be able to run Ubuntu without starting up windows? === Guest65737 is now known as stony [07:15] Daniel_2, Yes, Wubi just makes use of the Windows Bootloader. [07:15] Ahadiel, thanks [07:15] Indeed, Daniel_2. === stony is now known as Guest86927 [07:16] what is 64 Studio 2.0 VMWare Virtual Machine .. can i use this software to boot another operating system virtually ? [07:16] Though, if you do install Ubuntu AFTER installing via Wubi, it uses its own bootloader instead. [07:16] thanks everyone. I know i've probably been a big pain and annoyed u guys a bit with my novice on the subject of Ubuntu/Linux in general. Hopefully i'll get it right. [07:16] We're all novices at one point or another. :P [07:17] Vegombrei based on the name, I'd guess it's an image of ubuntu studio you can run inside of vmware [07:17] except chuck norris [07:17] That we are. Now if any of you ever need help with Windows or a Legal Problem within the U.S. 50, just ask for what I can do! lol [07:17] * nickrud eyes dunnen [07:17] Hi, why is this not logging to the log file? transmissioncli -u 15 -p 43333 a.torrent & > torrent.log [07:17] Best advice for Windows: Install Ubuntu.

[07:18] But at least the windows install was a bit easier on the gray hair factory on my head. [07:18] So, i'm looking for this software package simply called "rs232". [07:18] Of course, I can install it via Wine, but that's a risk I'd rather not take. [07:18] Can't figure out what packge I need to install to get it. [07:18] Googling has been unfruitful. ;) [07:18] * nickrud ducks [07:18] LitomoSilver: Use XChat. [07:18] nickrud: i have xp on a completely different hdd . can i boot that ? [07:18] Does anyone here have any insight into that? [07:18] Vegombrei: Yes you can. [07:19] HI folks I am about to _remove some bans_ - this will cause some scrolling for a couple of seconds [07:19] I have the exact same set up. XP on a different hard drive. Ubuntu on another. [07:19] Cool. first step within Wubi: asks if i want to uninstall failed ubuntu... pwnd [07:19] Say HDD 1 has XP. HDD 2 has Ubuntu. Both can be booted. [07:19] Done - normal service is resumed ;-) [07:19] Yes it does, Daniel_2 :D [07:19] Vegombrei depending on where the disk is physically connected to the machine, you may have to massage ubuntu [07:20] LitomoSilver: wow ! will you help me boot xp virtually thru vmware ? [07:20] nickrud: So long as you don't accidentally install Ubuntu on the disc that XP is on. :P === Guest86927 is now known as stony [07:20] XP via VMWare? I don't have VMWare and this computer doesn't support hardware virtualization. === stony is now known as Guest38479 [07:21] LitomoSilver if it's on any drive but the first, usually it takes some mapping in the menu.lst. And with mixed sata/pata, it gets really painful. [07:21] True, nickrud. [07:21] litomoSilver - if you are running ubuntu as the host OS, you can install Virtual Box (sun) which may work for you. [07:22] Ah. True. [07:23] anyone gotten world of warcraft to run,but had a problem where no textures were showing, and then got it to work somehow? I cant figure it out [07:23] nickrud: i have 2 hdd's .. one 250 which has ubuntu .. and the other 80 gb .. that one has windows .. i only use windows coz of some gadgets like cameras and stuff that need windows for its software .. so it be great if i can run windows virtually .. that way i'll never hafta reboot and boot thru windows [07:23] Vegombrei there's a way to use vmware to run the windows partition directly, but I've never used it myself. Don't know much about it. [07:24] Really? [07:24] Should be an interesting research. =D [07:24] moreau | try playing with the vertical synch, tripple buffering settings under the video options in the game.

[07:46] prince_jammys: It is for things like my /var/www folder, that is my webserver for testing sites on and things. [07:46] |Louis|: How many CPU cycles per second DOSBox tries to emulate.

[07:47] <|Louis|> i have no ideaaaaa [07:47] can anyone go into emerald and find some default settings for me? [07:47] |Louis|: Google around, there should be plenty of tutorials on the subject. Maybe even consider looking into a front end for it [07:47] Saladin the only gotcha there is the directory you want to have the webserver write to (like file uploading) needs to be owned by www-data [07:47] nickrud: it says it's for edgy and dapper, so i guess it's been removed, but whyyyy? [07:47] hei,it works a little bit [07:47] only the history parts [07:47] ok so i installed the compiz manager now what [07:47] Saladin: people cause breakage with chown commands sometimes, especially recursively on important system dirs. /var/www is ok, especially for testing and such [07:47] now i can use my homepage [07:47] LSD|Ninja: whoa ! thats quite a nick hehe [07:48] does anybody know what the law in the us made microsoft do to it's windows server software to help law enforcement? i know apache failed to implement the requirement. as a result criminals don't use ms server. they use apache.

You might find some answers on bugs.ubuntu.com, or in the changelog for nautilus (/usr/share/nautilus/doc [07:48] nickrud: No worries there, it is only for local testing. But thanks for the tip, man.

[08:04] saladin, im also linux sys admin and got lpic-1 - am working on lpic-2, second exam left and ill take ubuntu professional cert after that... [08:04] another server [08:04] kilroy: xchat probably has a menu item for that. [08:04] Dedoimedo: It plays as if there is audio but there is none. Audacity says it can not detect an audio device [08:04] you're lucky dedoimedo, would love to study linux [08:04] it does [08:04] but it doesnt have the server i want [08:04] Dedoimedo: I would also love to study Linux [08:05] linuxguy, what's the exact error code u get, please try separately for vlc and audacity [08:05] saladin, scott, it's up to u... power up the pc, start reading man pages and sweat ..... [08:05] dedoimedo: i also love to study ubuntu [08:05] #Xubuntu [08:05] sweat is right...there are so many config files to look at [08:05] im more of a redhat guy actually, it's a more server-dedicated distro ... ubuntu at home... [08:06] i just ran: sudo chmod u+s /sbin/mount.davfs : and i'd like to undo it, will it be a problem if i don't? [08:06] im barely starting at whitehat [08:06] Dedoimedo: LOL! That reminds me of my brother and I trying to install Redhat on my laptop to try it out. Sufiice to say, it failed. [08:06] I heard red hat is better than fedora... [08:06] *Suffice [08:06] Dedoimedo: VLC gives none. Audacity says, "Expression 'ValidateParameters( outputParameters, outputDeviceInfo, StreamMode_Out )' failed in 'src/hostapi/oss/pa_unix_oss.c', line: 1210 [08:06] " [08:07] saladin, no reason to use redhat if u dont mean business... [08:07] ok linux guy, first paste that thing into google, let's see what the world gets... [08:07] Dedoimedo: Yeah. We were just playing with it. Well, wanted to. [08:07] linuxguy, im not familiar with that error code so gimme a few moments [08:07] maybe ubuntu could use its own hat [08:08] scott, fedora and rh are basically identical [08:08] say guys, I know there's tonnes of questions going by in here [08:08] but I have one too :) [08:08] 42 [08:08] dee, aks... [08:08] I thought redhat ran better because they spend money on it... [08:08] lets put on our ubuntu hats [08:08] Dedoimedo:Two results. One is Audacity source and the other is not in english [08:08] centos redhat fedora 95-100% commonality [08:08] I'm trying to copy a hard drive.... it's a real old one [08:08] hi [08:09] an 89MB hahaha [08:09] scottdnz: that's like saying that Vista is better than Ubuntu because they spent more money on it. [08:09] using DD [08:09] dee_:DAMN! [08:09] ubuntu is marketable [08:09] Bizarre.. The issue I was having with java was limited to the copy in /usr/local/bin [08:09] redhat is not very marketable [08:09] InsPYre: not in the desktop market.. [08:09] if I run dd with dd if=/dev/hdc of=/folder/win.img bs=512 conv=noerror,sync [08:10] linuxguy see if this helps u, see the last post https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/audacity/+bug/231651 [08:10] it takes forever and ever [08:10] Launchpad bug 231651 in audacity "[hardy] audacity has no playback device available (dup-of: 178895)" [Undecided,New] [08:10] Launchpad bug 178895 in audacity "Audacity does not mesh with PulseAudio" [Low,Confirmed] [08:10] and lots of input/output error [08:10] hey there [08:10] and out of it all, I don't get a very usable image [08:10] ok so i got a little pb [08:10] I don't think it's reading it correctly [08:10] i need a file system expert [08:10] i can't boot ubuntu or mint when i plug my IDE hard disk. it loads busybox and hangs. when i unplug it and use only the sata drives everyhing is happy. any ideas?

[08:11] yes entire disk [08:11] ok so I got a file on a hard disk i can't rm [08:11] now funny thing is [08:11] dee_: are you familiar with clonezilla? [08:11] I know it's an ancient drive [08:11] the thing is it's a ntfs parition [08:11] I can run it through spinrite [08:11] and it has NO PROBLEMS [08:11] I can run it in winblows scandisk [08:11] on throurow [08:11] linuxguymarshall: i have 4 sata drives and one IDE. when i leave only the satas it boots. when i plug the IDE along with the satas it fails [08:11] paspos: which filesystem driver did you use to mount it with? [08:11] and it has no problems [08:12] you have to mount to use DD? [08:12] !ask | paspos [08:12] when I rm i got : [08:12] paspos: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[08:12] sorry there ubottu :) [08:12] dee_: no, dd while it's mounted is a bad thing. any part of /dev/hdc should not be mounted at all. [08:12] linuxguymarshall: internal [08:12] when I rm I got [08:12] yes that's what I thought [08:12] I cant rm [08:12] no such file or directory [08:13] paspos: if you can't answer my question, i can't answer yours.

[08:13] it looks like it's corrupted [08:13] cuz when i ll [08:13] here is what I get [08:13] ytsestef:Look into adaptors. maybe they exist [08:13] paspos: now, can you tell me what it's using when you type df -Th ? [08:13] linuxguymarshall: thanks for your interest :) [08:13] here is what I get [08:14] !repeat | paspos [08:14] paspos: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[08:14] Ok, here my best shot at one line. I'm trying to produce a PXE image of win98 that runs in ramdisk. PXE and syslinux is already up and going. I used an old 89MB hard disk and created a super small Win98SE install. But I can't get DD to make a usable image of this drive. Lots of input/output error.

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [08:14] i just ran: sudo chmod u+s /sbin/mount.davfs - did i do something dangerous? [08:14] linuxguymarshall: the obvious solution is to buy another sata drive to replace the IDE. but i think it's a waste of money to buy hardware because of a bug [08:14] I wanna remove a file that is corrupted on my ntfs partition [08:14] rm doesn't work [08:15] when I do ll [08:15] paspos: and all i want to know is what does it say for the Type for your ntfs mount? [08:15] I get question mark everywhere [08:15] ytsestef:You could also try hooking it up to a USB 2.0 port [08:15] well I'm sshing a mac server [08:16] well this is an ubuntu support channel, not a mac support channel. [08:16] paspos: OS X has no write support for NTFS so you can't delete from NTFS volumes mounted under it - not even from the Terminal [08:17] linuxguymarshall: that would invole buying an enclosure plug i don't have the space in my desk for an external drive [08:17] well I installed this software that makes it worl [08:17] work [08:17] linuxguymarshall: *plug = plus [08:17] it's called ntfs for mac os [08:17] but i'n sure it'd be the same on ubuntu [08:17] !offtopic | paspos [08:17] paspos: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[08:19] moreau: rm -rf [08:19] hi [08:20] moreau: rmdir technically, but that'll only work on empty dirs (rm -rf is more versatile) [08:20] and dangerous [08:20] rm -r is safer [08:20] does Inkblot work well with a HP C3100? [08:20] reading the man page is wiser [08:21] how do i fix an umet dependency [08:21] is there a way to hide the icons such as Computer, Mounted devices, and network, by command instead of gconf-editor? [08:21] SimplyJohnny: meet it. [08:21] My ubuntu also can't even mount this 89MB drive, yet dos will just fine [08:22] ...thanks Gnea [08:22] that takes care of it [08:22] SimplyJohnny: sorry, you haven't been very specific...

Ubuntu doesn't put them on the desktop by default, I had to download a program to put them back [08:22] hehehe [08:22] i tried [08:22] it wont let me [08:22] then shoot it? [08:23] in the FACE [08:23] LSD|Ninja, there is a option in gconf to hide those specific icons, or more or less turn them on [08:23] hi, my usb microphone doesn't seem to be working in hardy... any hints? [08:23] LSD|Ninja, i want a way to turn them off by command, anyone know of a way [08:23] when u try to install libglib2.0-0 what does it say [08:23] (my audio jack mic works fine) [08:23] (i.e. audacity records it fine) [08:23] Hey everyone, here's a good one for you.

Why is this happening, and is there something I can do to fix it? [08:24] Chris| Ah, okay. [08:24] Saladin, sorry i'm not sure if there is a command if any hints would be nice [08:24] anyone?

[08:25] SimplyJohnny: what happens when you try to install libglib-2.0-0 [08:26] it outputs that message moreau [08:26] broken packages [08:26] Saladin: it offers nothing that a default ubuntu install doesnt have, nor does it make it easier, it just puts it all under one GUI, also the instructions on the website somehow locked me out of X, luckily when i rebooted i was fine [08:26] how do i get mplayerplugin working [08:26] SimplyJohnny: can you sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade ? [08:27] I'm trying to make a script to hide the desktop icons, the normal files in ~/Desktop work, when i hide them but of course the other types such as Computer, and Mounted devices dont hide because that is a gconf option :/ [08:27] I just installed Ubuntu, and I have a Creative SoundBlaster 5.1 Sound Card - with my 5.1 surround sound system plugged into it, it creates a lot of white noise where there should be silence. Why is this happening, and is there something I can do to fix it? [08:27] Chris|: have you tried cutting them or moving them to trash? [08:28] Chris|: just mark them as hidden by renaming them to .whatever as in dotfile [08:28] SimplyJohnny: that output looks like what it would say if you tried to install ibgtk2.0-dev [08:28] * Chris| sighs [08:28] linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic linux-restricted-modules-generic ntfs-3g ssl-cert [08:28] hhp2k: do you have any microphones plugged in?

[08:29] sudo apt-get install libglib-2.0-0 --thats what returned those lines of errors you pasted in here earlier, right? [08:29] Gnea: Kinda sounds like the white noise from a TV. Constant buzzing. It changes in grade and slightly in frequency when I turn the knob on my main speaker. [08:29] Chris|, You can also use gconf-editor from the command line to change keys/values. [08:30] Gnea, i tried fidgeting around with the volume controls for a long time, and i tried recording from each of the sources listed in Sound Recorder, but i'm getitng nothing [08:30] Ahadiel, how can i do this? i man'd gconf-editor but got nothing useful [08:30] hhp2k: does this only happen when the computer is turned on and it's booted up? [08:30] Chris|, Not sure exactly, but I know it's possible. [08:30] isn't there some way of simply determining whether the usb device got properly picked up by the system? [08:30] Gnea: Untested. Want me to try that and report back? [08:30] what would people do in ubuntu to remove foo.bar (on a ntfs partition say mounted with ntfs-3g) [08:30] when ll give : [08:30] drwxrwxrwx 3 user staff 189 2008-07-25 02:41 .svn/ [08:30] (recognized by the system) [08:30] -????????? ? ? ? ? ? fou.bar [08:30] and rm foo.bar gives: [08:30] m: cannot remove `foo.bar: No such file or directory [08:30] paspos: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:30] hhp2k: sure [08:30] is there a CD/DVD for upgrading Hardy to latest packages as alternative to downloading packages from internet with apt-get update apt-get upgrade ??? [08:31] Gnea: 2 minutes. [08:31] Guys can you suggest a good blogging client for Ubuntu, somewhat like Windows live writer? [08:31] Ahadiel, ok thanks for the hint :) [08:31] Gnea: Thanks for your help. :) [08:31] I'll go look it up [08:31] hhp2k: np [08:31] zeeee: checking something... [08:31] gregors: Yes, the installation disks can be used as a repo. [08:31] lol [08:31] i have libglib2.0 installed [08:31] and its saying i dont [08:31] and that i have unmet dependancies [08:32] yes but installation disks doasn't contain latest updated software....right tonyyarusso [08:32] ? [08:32] zeeee: ok, have you checked preferences in audacity? [08:32] gregors: Very latest, no. But they will let you upgrade from a previous version. [08:32] Gnea, i'm not even dealing with audacity right now, just sound recorder [08:32] tonyyarusso, true [08:32] gregors: How is downloading a CD easier than downloading the packages on the CD easier anyway? [08:33] zeeee: forget soundrecorder. go with audacity for now :) [08:33] Gnea, ok... what prefs am i looking for? [08:33] how do you remove files like this : [08:33] tonyyarusso, I have bad internet at home [08:33] drwxrwxrwx 3 benoit staff 189 2008-07-25 02:41 .svn/ [08:33] -????????? ? ? ? ? ?

[08:34] Blaqlight: wget -c to the rescue! [08:34] kippy: logjam [08:34] gregors: apt-mirror. [08:34] paspos: are you sure? [08:34] i did a scandisk in windows [08:34] how much space does this take to create ? [08:35] it didn't repair anything [08:35] i don't care if you defragged it, are you SURE? [08:35] Gnea: Correct. The speakers stop the white noise as the system is unloading, and the speakers restart the white noise as the system is starting. [08:35] tonyyarusso, how much space does this take to create ? [08:35] gregors: I think a binary-only mirror for one architecture will be something like 20 GB. [08:35] (rough guess) [08:35] looks like there is some corruptiion somewhere [08:35] hhp2k: okay, open your mixer and mute everything. does it stop? [08:35] tonnyarusso, Gnea : Thanks looking them up [08:36] kippy: cheers :) [08:36] paspos: indeed. [08:36] tonyyarusso: not to this problem, my internet is lower that (pick an expletive) [08:36] tonyyarusso, is there a way to choose only packages I want ? [08:36] well do you think ubuntu could fix this [08:36] i'd boot with a live cd is it works [08:37] the question you need to ask yourself is:do you think that YOU can work with us in order to fix it? [08:37] what is the check disk tool for ntfs ? [08:37] chkdsk [08:37] i did a chkdsk in windows [08:37] because, right now, the only answer that i can arrive to on that question is: NO. [08:37] Gnea: Current options on mixer: Master, PCM, Line-in, CD, Microphone, PC Speaker [08:37] paspos: oh for linux :P [08:37] i gotta no error found [08:37] Blaqlight: cron job to check if running and re-run every ten minutes if not? [08:37] Gnea: All muted. Noise is continuing. [08:37] yeah in ubuntu [08:37] gregors: Sure - AptOnCD would be good for that. [08:37] hhp2k: check your connections. [08:38] Gnea: yessir [08:38] tonyyarusso: nope still dies. [08:38] hhp2k: make sure they are all plugged in securely and that there are no small bits of metal, paper or other obstructions. [08:38] Blaqlight: erm, stop trying to connect to the Internet from the ISS then? [08:39] paspos: have you considered ntfsfix? [08:39] u know what limewire is? [08:39] tonyyarusso: and they want $18.95 a month for this... [08:39] Addernator: do you?

[08:40] thanks [08:40] does mdadm support UUIDs? [08:40] tonyyarusso: but I created the internet why shouldn't I be able connect to it. [08:40] Chris|, Oh, so it's gconftool-2, good to know. [08:40] =) [08:41] Gnea: Connections were removed, cleaned, and ports were cleaned. Result: 2 front and 2 back speakers now have no noise, center speaker (Independant to the orange cable) still has noise. Looks like there might be something in there, so I'll keep trying.

[08:47] Lanken: apt-cache policy firefox-3.0, pastebin that [08:47] HyperStream[a]: worst case you'll have to edit grub or fdisk to account for changes in the disk layout. Everything else should be taken care of automatically [08:47] LSD|Ninja: On both 7.10 and 8.04 from a Distro upgrade. [08:47] Blaqlight: pff gaming on ubuntu [08:48] Gnea: New observational note: removing the orange wire from the sound card disables all speakers, for some odd reason. Black & Green wires are still plugged in, and should be controlling the other speakers. [08:48] I'm having a problem with my internet connection, it runs at about 1/10th the speed it does in Windows. and the issue is not compiz (not running), does anyone have any ideas? [08:48] Flannel: http://zackglennie.com/error4 [08:48] Flannel: maybe I upgraded to the wrong firefox-3.0 package? [08:48] hhp2k: have you done anything in regards to the sound settings in the preferences menu? [08:48] gaelfx: firefox isnt limiting your ports is it? [08:48] lol gaelfx who told you it could be compiz?? slap them for me, pls [08:49] HyperStream[a]: all my games work in ubuntu just fine (WoW and Diablo II) [08:49] Gnea: Sound preferences have not been accessed as of yet. [08:49] Blaqlight: did you ever hae, then fix, graphics errors [08:49] (err, installed the wrong package...it wouldn't have been an upgrade, as firefox doesn't come with ubuntu) [08:49] moreau: well, for a while they were right, until my school's network went down, and now I'm back to it being like it was before [08:49] i WoW [08:49] hhp2k: check it out - and what mixer are you using? [08:49] gaelfx: You're on a shared connection? [08:49] Gnea: Alsa Mixer. [08:49] hhp2k: excellent! [08:50] moreau: with those two no, only problem I had was diablo won't run full screen. [08:50] Addernator: no, it's not a Firefox problem [08:50] Lanken: Firefox does come with Ubuntu. Let me fire up my hardy box and poke around the repos, that'll be a lot faster than doing it by proxy [08:50] any one know how to get flyff working on ubuntu? ;D [08:50] Flannel: kubuntu, not ubuntu. Firefox doesn't come with it. [08:50] Saladin: I'm on a pppoe that runs through a static IP [08:50] Flannel: but I didn't think this was a kde-related problem, so I'm here. [08:50] hhp2k: btw, what soundcard is that, exactly? lspci | grep audio <-- that should say [08:50] Blaqlight BF2142 ? Counter Strike ? with smooth gameplay ? i have wow working on cedega in ubuntu. shit quality [08:50] Lanken: firefox doesn't come with ubuntu? since when? [08:50] gnea: jesus holy mother of god [08:50] gaelfx: Hahaha. That means nothing to me!! I mean, are you connection through school? [08:50] hhp2k: ?! [08:50] LSD|Ninja: sorry, typo. kubuntu. [08:50] did you ever have to change anything to get your terrain graphics to work in WoW? [08:51] Gnea: Just opened the mixer and noticed that PCM & Master were still muted. Unmuted them, unaware of music playing full blast at 3:51 AM. [08:51] Lanken: No, this would have nothing to do with that [08:51] my beef with kubuntu is that it isn't trying to be the best kde-based ubuntu possible. it's trying way too hard to use only kde stuff. [08:51] Saladin; yes, but it's not an issue with the network, since I know that Windows creates a sustainable and useful connection [08:51] * hhp2k falls over [08:51] I just got WC3 working, I <3 that game [08:51] Flannel: mm. [08:51] LMFAO [08:51] counterstrike in crossover / cedga / wine - all low fps. low quality --- on the other hand i play them in windows. max settings smooth as. [08:51] HyperStream[a]: don't use cedega, it runs perfectly in regular wine. BF 1942 works fine too, though I don't use it. [08:51] Blaqlight bf2142 doesnt work fine. no support for punkbuster [08:52] HyperStream[a]: well wine is slower that windows. [08:52] BF 2142 has too many requirements to run in wine. [08:52] hhp2k: oh that's good... if you got it down soon enough, some people should have just turned over in their beds, but went right back to sleep [08:52] Gnea: It appears that with PCM Muted, sound quality is destroyed, and with it unmuted, sound quality is perfect. [08:52] can BF2 run in wine? [08:52] anyone got Age of Conan working in ubuntu? [08:52] so if i didnt mind the quality / fps in games id use ubuntu -- [08:52] Lanken: paste the output of apt-cache policy libpango1.0-0 [08:52] but since when i game i want some serious graphics. i choose windoze. [08:52] Gnea: Hopefully the bass didn't simulate a localized earthquake. :x [08:52] hhp2k: yes, PCM is extremely volitile to the ALSA infrastructure [08:53] hi i have a problem with a headphone.. [08:53] HyperStream[a]: its a compatibility layer nothing more. its akin to running a windows 98 program in XP [08:53] hhp2k: you'll be fine :) [08:53] but on the other hand with this new phenom / am2 board and a nvidia 280 it may change :) [08:53] HyperStream[a]: you bought a Phenom? lol [08:53] CAN BF2 RUN IN WINE???? [08:53] Saladin: so, is there any reason you ask? [08:53] !ask | cr0w [08:53] !caps | Addernator [08:53] LSD|Ninja yeah has b3 stepping [08:53] Addernator: check the Wine IRC [08:53] Addernator: I don't think so [08:53] LSD|Ninja Intel too pricey [08:54] cr0w: 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. :-) [08:54] Flannel: http://zackglennie.com/error5 [08:54] Addernator: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [08:54] Addernator: or better yet the Wine APPDB [08:54] Lanken: 404 [08:54] Gnea: It seems so, everything is much better now. Thanks so much for your help, that was bothering the hell out of me. :P [08:54] Addernator: #winehq [08:54] 'detlef@MD97600:~$ cd /usr/src/linux && make gconfig' calls the dialog window 'Linux Kernel v2.6.24.3 Configuration'. > Help > About writes: "gkc is copyright (c) 2002 Romain Lievin ." What does 'gkc' stand for? [08:54] HyperStream[a]: b3 makes them 'slow' instead of 'dog slow' [08:54] if it has HUGE graphics requirements e.g. barely run in windows... it will never run in wine [08:54] I do not succeed to listen to music [in headphone] [08:54] hhp2k: enjoy :) [08:54] I'm having a problem with my internet connection, it runs at about 1/10th the speed it does in Windows. and the issue is not compiz (not running), does anyone have any ideas? [08:54] Gnea: Now, what music player would you recommend for linux? [08:54] hhp2k: Amarok :D [08:54] gaelfx: Sorry there, distracted a little. I was going to say; are you sure it's not the network? Have you tried the same terminal etc on a Windows box? [08:54] hhp2k: xmms or audacious [08:54] Flannel: http://zackglennie.com/error5 [08:55] Saladin: yep, thanks though [08:55] Lanken: Alright, well... there's your problem. Try this: sudo aptitude update, and pastebin the output [08:55] Hitman Blood Money is a good example of a game that requires windows. [08:55] Gnea, gaelfx: Amarok, xmms or Audacious. Will check into each. Thanks =D [08:55] HyperStream[a]: Also, Intel havetaken the price/performance crown back now too. There's no real reason to consider Phenom [08:55] LSD|Ninja no in australia :) [08:56] hhp2k: although for Amarok, you need to install KDE support, so if you want to keep fewer programs on your computer, it's better not to [08:56] HyperStream[a]: even here too [08:56] gaelfx: Oh, hell yeah. Not making that mistake again. :P [08:56] hhp2k: but i like that because there are some pretty good KDE progs out there [08:56] gaelfx: KDE is great and all, but jeez, talk about sending the buffet brigade for a sandwich [08:57] help me please [08:57] (That was probably way too obscure for anyone to understand. oO) [08:57] Flannel: http://zackglennie.com/error6 [08:57] cr0w: what headphones? what soundcard? what mixer? [08:57] hhp2k: true, true [08:58] hhp2k: hah, whatever. so many kde programs are so good that it's well worth it. === Alvin_FN is now known as cew_16 [08:58] gnea : those to earpiece [08:58] halp! mys intarnets r broked! [08:58] Lanken: alright... those... moved temporarilys are causing the problem. Basically, you're only seeing half of the new packages. Not sure why theyre 302, but switching to a different mirror (even if its just for this update) should work fine. [08:58] how I see that soundcard I have? [08:58] * hhp2k hands gaelfx a drill and a couple of screws [08:58] cr0w: lspci | grep audio [08:58] ok. [08:59] * Gnea taps gaelfx on the shoulder with a roll of duct tape [08:59] Flannel: incidentally, can you think of any reason that firefox-2 should pull in synaptic? crazy shit... [08:59] Gnea: okay, so now it appears that the back left & right speakers don't work. Is alsa 5.1 surround ready, or do I need additional packages / software? [08:59] <_trine> I lost my shift characters in 8.04 and checked google but could not find an answer but I have found out a solution in Advanced Desktop Effects Settings / Preferences you can reset to defaults this cured my problem [08:59] Lanken: try cc.archive.ubuntu.com [08:59] haha, it's funny how much easier it is to get attention here when acting stupid rather than giving a clearly stated problem [08:59] gaelfx: Everyone needs a break sometimes :P [08:59] there's a graphical way of doing it in adept...I'll try that first. [09:00] gaelfx: there's a bash quote on that. Funny because it's true [09:00] LSD|Ninja: really? could you point me to it? [09:00] hhp2k: http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/the-simple-way-to-get-51-surround-sound-audio-working-in-ubuntu/ [09:00] gaelfx: http://bash.org/?152037 [09:00] Lanken: firefox-2? Ah. It doesn't require it. It recommends it inadvertantly. recommends ubufox, which depends on apturl, which depends on synaptic [09:00] Gnea: Beautiful. Thanks so much. [09:01] cr0w: please keep the chat in the channel. [09:01] i don't succed to view soundcard i have with lspci | grep audio [09:01] Flannel: ubuntu isn't really the right flavor for me :\ I'll probably stick with it because it's well-supported, but it's just always wanting to do things that seem silly to me. [09:01] LSD|Ninja: Lmao, love that bash quote [09:02] LSD|Ninja: haha, thanks man, brightened my day (sort of) [09:02] cr0w: what about: lspci | grep Multi [09:02] im trying to update and i keep getting E: /var/cache/apt/archives/sysvinit-utils_2.86.ds1-47~bpo40+1_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/man1/mesg.1.gz', which is also in package sysvutils [09:02] can i just rem /usr/share/man/man1/mesg.1.gz? [09:03] has anyone had the issue of your screen greying out (kind of like what it does when it asks you for the admin password) while running an nVidia card? [09:03] What's the best sega genesis emulator??? [09:03] LSD|Ninja: ha! [09:03] SimplyJohnny: No [09:03] sugi: I can't say I know of anything for Linux... I use Kega Fusion on Windows and Genesis Plus on OS X [09:03] sugi: dgen [09:04] sugi: maybe mendafen [09:04] 'detlef@MD97600:~$ cd /usr/src/linux && make gconfig' calls the dialog window 'Linux Kernel v2.6.24.3 Configuration'. > Help > About writes: "gkc is copyright (c) 2002 Romain Lievin ." What does 'gkc' stand for? [09:04] i did [09:04] sugi: mednafen is a multi-console emulator. if they've got it, it's probably decent. [09:04] how do i fix it [09:04] SimplyJohnny: Where did you get sysvinit-utils anyway? [09:04] fudgicles! it's 34 degrees :S my air conditioner is gonna die [09:04] i cant update anything because that error keeps coming up [09:04] LSD|Ninja: Gnea Lanken: thanks :D [09:04] idk Flannel im in update manager [09:04] its in there [09:04] Flannel, hey man, how's it going? [09:05] SimplyJohnny: What extra repos do you have enabled? Well, first, what version of Ubuntu are you on? [09:05] Howdy jeeves__ [09:05] Gnea: do you have experience with .asoundrc? When opening that file with gedit, it's a new file. :/ [09:05] gutsy [09:05] i have all the repos enabled [09:05] Flannel, I'm still fighting with this video issue man [09:05] hhp2k: right, just copy and paste the contents that it says into it and save it [09:05] anyone feel like helping me diagnose a networking issue? [09:05] Gens has a Linux port but I don't know how good it is. I stopped using it on Windows because the guy was taking his time in updating it. [09:05] gaelfx: no way, get out! ;) [09:06] do i need it Flannel ? [09:06] SimplyJohnny: pastebin your sources.list please (its /etc/apt/sources.list) [09:06] Gnea: okay, done. [09:06] I think I'm going to try and do the BIOS part of that now. [09:06] Gnea: but my internet's chapped real bad! [09:06] Gnea: Will report back in 5 minutes. [09:06] gaelfx: Please put here a more specific question. -- meta-questions are deprecated here. [09:06] gaelfx: so what's wrong? [09:06] hhp2k: ok [09:06] I have 2 512mb sticks of RAM installed that I think may not be compatible with each other... if they are not could that cause Ubuntu to read that I have only 247.9Mib of RAM installed? [09:06] administrator rights problem help? [09:06] slm [09:06] Gnea: well, in Linux it runs about 1/10th the speed as it does in Windows [09:07] !ask | Addernator [09:07] Addernator: 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. :-) [09:07] spoo1: No. [09:07] Gnea: but it wasn't always this way [09:07] spoo1: does the BIOS read the correct amount of RAM? [09:07] gaelfx: example? [09:07] yes [09:07] LSD|Ninja: yes it does [09:07] should i just uncheck it Flannel [09:07] Flannel: ok, part of my problem seems to be that adept isn't mature. [09:08] spoo1: what sort of RAM and how old a system are we talking about? [09:08] SimplyJohnny: Uncheck what? [09:08] Gnea: uploading in utorrent should be able to go at least 100kbps, instead it goes at about 10 or 20, depending upon which microsecond you look at it during [09:08] Flannel: I thought it was a fine product, but its configuration of repos is broken. [09:08] Lanken: apt-get works fine. But repos being done isn't anything to do with adept [09:08] Flannel: pity, but that's to be expected with kubuntu stuff... [09:08] Gnea: but it's not just a utorrent problem [09:08] spoo1: When you start Ubuntu, you will encounter Grub. Grub will allow you to make a RAM test. Please make this RAM test. [09:08] Lanken: adept should work. But GUI apt configs are somewhat new I believe. You'd have to ask in #kubuntu [09:09] help with administrator rights [09:09] Flannel: I change the choice of mirrors in adept and nothing happens. It's broken, I'd say. [09:09] sysvinit-util Flannel [09:09] !ask | Addernator [09:09] Addernator: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[09:09] Flannel: I'll change it with synaptic :P [09:09] SimplyJohnny: pastebin yuor sources.list please [09:09] Lanken: Just do it with a text editor [09:09] spoo1: Yes it does. [09:09] gaelfx: you could try changing the configuration settings [09:09] !sudo | Addernator [09:09] Addernator: 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) [09:09] poop sickles [09:09] lol [09:09] spoo1: what sort of RAM and how old a system are we talking about? [09:09] it's allitle more complicated that that.. [09:10] Gnea: you mean like network.conf or something like that? or easier? [09:10] Addernator: then tell us what it is! [09:10] Flannel: negative, ghost rider. I'd have to learn how, and I don't want to know how. Don't want to subject myself to the noise of learning and forgetting. [09:10] i need to run an install disk for a game using wine tbut the installer says i need administrator rights [09:10] LSD|Ninja: Hp 734n on stick is the original and the other.... give me a min... [09:10] Lanken: Its... easy. Change http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu to http://cc.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu [09:10] gaelfx: i really don't know what that uses for a config, i don't use torrents [09:10] Addernator: more of a Wine problem, don't you think? [09:10] Flannel: fine... [09:10] http://pastebin.com/d5b3e7e37 Flannel [09:10] What's better for sega genesis emulator????? Gens or Dgen??? [09:11] hi, I have ubuntu 64bit. I've installed skype on it, and depends too, but it isn't work. Can anybody help me? [09:11] gaelf: the game i am trying to install is BF2 witch is a supported wine game [09:11] Gnea: oh, but what I mean is that it's not just a torrents problem, it's anything running on my network, FF, chatzilla, whatever [09:11] gaelfx: but on the few occasions that i have, there was usually some sort of preference to limit the number of uploaders and downloaders and how much bandwidth they can use [09:11] spoo1: dgen has apparently been discontinued, don't know about gens [09:11] Addernator, Try #wine [09:11] bah [09:11] when I wanted spoo1 before I got sugi but now that I wanted sugi I got spoo1 >_< [09:11] SimplyJohnny: Your problem is likely due to the fact that you have etch repositories in there. [09:12] Gnea: yeah, I know all about that, but like I said, it's a problem with my connection, not the torrent program, I was just giving a nice numeric reference [09:12] gaelfx: what network card is it? [09:12] LSD|Ninja: ha ha ha, i am a bit confused, but oh really? on the dgens..... i might do gens. it seems to get more talk then dgens [09:12] Gnea: it's NVidia based [09:12] LSD|Ninja: thanks for the heads up [09:12] spoo1: Ah, it's DDR. That means it's not likely to be what I was thinking (SDRAM desnity) [09:12] Gnea: on a Compaq lappy, so most of it is NVidia crud [09:13] gaelfx, Run a speed test and check the difference. http://speakeasy.net/speedtest for example. [09:13] sugi: irssi's tab complete likes to try and be too smart for its own good [09:13] gaelfx: ok, let's get nitty-gritty: lspci | grep Ether [09:13] Flannel: I spoke too soon. The changes to sources.list were successful, but there's some other problem. [09:14] Gnea: What is that command actually doing? ((I like to know things - knowledge is power)) [09:14] LSD|Ninja: ha ha ha, oooh, i have done that before :D [09:14] SimplyJohnny: and I'll bet that other package (sysvinit-utils*) is from your etch repo. [09:14] can I have the link to the pastbasin [09:14] Saladin: what command? [09:14] !paste | spoo1 [09:14] paste^ [09:14] ((And Gnea: I am also watching this problem progress ;D) [09:14] Gnea: The one you gave to gaelfx [09:14] thank you Flannel [09:14] I installed kpersonalizer and now when I click on the kmenu to turn off the computer the only option I get is to close the session. any thoughts on how to fix this?

[09:18] Gnea: Hello :) [09:18] spoo1: yeah I did. I was thinking it was maybe you trying to use high density SDRAM in a low density motherboard. This used to cause a range of problems ranging from the sticks working but only at half capacity right up to machines refusing to boot with them installed. The problem largley went away with DDR though which is what you've got [09:18] Gnea: haha, you're saying that with the implication that no one has figured out the problem yet... :S [09:18] hhp2k: any luck? [09:18] bullgard4: GTK Kernel Configurator [09:18] gaelfx: no, just saying that *i* haven't found the solution... yet ;) [09:18] Gnea: I went into my BIOS, and the only option it had as far as sound cards go, was my Creative sound card in PCI.. no option for the embedded sound card. [09:19] hhp2k: did you look *everywhere*? [09:19] Gnea: The file that guide says to make though has been created and saved. [09:19] Gnea: And yes, absolutely everywhere. [09:19] Gnea: haha, well, i guess that's somewhat reassuring. The thing that bothers me is that once in a while, it will work fine [09:19] why does my Master volume not work? something to do with Pulse? [09:19] Gnea: That's why I know everything I do. :P I scour and search every corner and crevice until I find what I'm looking for, or conclude it's not there. [09:19] Gnea: but then, I have to pray that my lappy doesn't freeze while I'm still getting the good stuff, or Im SOL [09:20] Flannel: Thank you very much for your help. [09:20] gaelfx: ok, let's try this out for now - have you hit that speedtest site that someone else gave you before? [09:20] hhp2k: you're trying to disable the on-board sound? [09:20] LSD|Ninja: I've been baffeled at this for months not (and many other ppl with me) because if the BIOS reads it, in theory, the OS should also [09:20] LSD|Ninja: right? [09:20] pajamian: It may be a solution in regards to enabling the 3rd and 4th speakers on my surround sound system on the computer. [09:20] hhp2k: maybe there's a jumper for it? [09:21] hhp2k: well some motherboards have jumpers instead of bios settings for it, though more rare nowadays for it to be jumpered. Have you checked? [09:21] Gnea: That's entirely possible.. I wouldn't even know where to start looking, though. [09:21] hhp2k: check the users guide that came with the motherboard. [09:21] hhp2k: ..jumpers are usually found on the motherboard, inside of the computer case :) [09:21] Gnea: I know that much :P [09:22] how do I give myself read/write access to '/dev/net/tun'?

[09:23] amirman: there's an 8.04.1 now which has more recent packages on it, but the one you have will work. it will jsut have to do more updates after the install. [09:23] gaelfx: i'm ready for bed once i eat something :) [09:23] Gnea: http://pastebin.ca/1083302 [09:23] Gnea: I'm pretty sure it's showing me what I need to be seeing. [09:23] miranda: yes i use brasero [09:23] am moving from kde paint to krita--can't find brush--help [09:24] amirman: ok. just checking because mine got accidentally deleted once I downloaded [09:24] Miranda: hey, how is it going? [09:24] kindofabuzz: does your sound card (or onboard chipset) have 5.1 surround sound? [09:25] Good Morning, Afternoon or Evening depending on your location :) [09:25] hhp2k: is this a prebuilt system or did you or someone else build it? [09:25] pajamian: no [09:25] gaelfx: good I downloaded it and used burn4free to install I put it on the computer and it's installing [09:25] !spoo1 | register [09:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about spoo1 [09:25] kindofabuzz: oh well, that would do away with my theory, then. [09:25] Gnea: Prebuilt dinosaur Compaq Presario. Need to replace it bad. :x [09:25] pajamian: thanks [09:25] pajamian: it's an old computer [09:25] !register | spoo1 [09:25] hhp2k: ! [09:25] spoo1, please see my private message [09:25] miranda: good to hear [09:25] Gnea: I know ._. [09:25] amirman: You really ought to get 8.04.1, its much better (and isos before the point release have the SSH and DNS vulnerabilities) [09:26] kindofabuzz: well the theory is that if you've plugged into the rear speaker channel instead of the front then the surround volume controls it instead of master. [09:26] Gnea: haha, it's ok, don't worry about it, I'm googling my wonderful little NVidia "controller" now [09:26] it has a blank black screen now, gaelfx. what does that mean? [09:26] hhp2k: okay... i feel your pain... uhm... got a model # on the presario? [09:26] miranda: what was happening before the blank screen? [09:26] pajamian: well it does have 3 plugins, lemme check that [09:26] gaelfx: ubuntu logo flashed (loading) [09:26] Gnea: 5320CA. 512MB SDRAM, 1.2GHZ, Creative SBLive! 5.1 Surround Sound Sound Card [09:27] Hello there. Really weird prob, suddenly (without even installing anything or restarting) firefox shows every letter on every page as underscore. I can only view pages if I choose [09:27] "No page style". What should I google for? thanks [09:27] miranda: hmmm, how old is the computer you're installing it on? [09:27] about ten years [09:27] nmapplet is aying i have 90% connection but iwlist scan is saying quality is 31 [09:27] hhp2k: well that's not TOO bad.. [09:27] how do i fix it [09:27] I installed kpersonalizer and now when I click on the kmenu to turn off the computer the only option I get is to close the session. any thoughts on how to fix this? [09:27] Gnea: not too bad, runs compiz very well. (But that's my 64MB nVidia AGP card. :P) [09:27] miranda: do you know how much RAM, how big the hard drive is, that kind of info? [09:28] pajamian: hmm it's plugged into line out. hmm. i can controll the sound through PCM but not master. [09:28] gaelfx: read this yet? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=277807&page=3 [09:28] KalhaS: I would try deleting or renaming the .mozilla directory. Note you will loose all your bookmarks, settings, etc, but if you rename the directory you can copy them back later. [09:28] LSD|Ninja: so would you have any idea what Ubuntu only reads 1/4 of my RAM? [09:28] gaelfx: I forgot to check that [09:28] lol [09:28] kindofabuzz: well that's strange, not sure what to tell ya. [09:28] anyone? [09:28] pajamian: ok ill try, thanks [09:29] miranda: when the computer first starts, it should tell you that kind of information. Did you run the liveCD version of it yet, or not? [09:29] yes I am running the liveCD version [09:29] miranda: ah, so you were trying to start itup, not install it? [09:29] install and start [09:30] bullgard4: would you have any idea why Ubunt would only read 1/4 of my RAM? [09:30] miranda: oh, ok, could you try to find that info for me, you might have to try an older version if the hardware is not good enough for the newest Ubuntu [09:30] gaelfx: ok I am on the start screen...I guess the computer crashed [09:31] how do i improve my wireless performance [09:31] ok I am testing the memory [09:31] spoo1: This sometimes happens when Ubuntu detects errors in your RAM. [09:31] miranda: yeah, I think you might not be able to install the newest version on that computer. the most important thing I need to know is how much RAM it has [09:31] .join /s hub.starfmradio.org we need new Staff ircOp ServiceS admin Else if any One iNtrested jOiN us RegISted ur fAvoUriTe channelS and be part of oUr admin tHanKs RegISter yoUr favOuriTe chnanelS tHanKs jOin us Plz [09:32] guys when I try to remove the folder that I usually mount my windows share to, it tells me "Host is down" and it wont let me unmount it, it tells me 'error 16 = Device or resource busy" anyone know the solution?

I have an IT call at 1 pm today [09:35] Gnea: If you're solely working on my problem, don't worry about it. It's minor in priority compared to sleep :P [09:35] Hey I was wondering if anyone could give me a hand with the Synaptic Package manager. [09:35] hhp2k: i have the weekend off, been doing IT all week. :) [09:35] Gnea: But thank you for all of your help, you've definitely helped me solve some problems tonight. [09:35] tcsajax, ask a specific question .. [09:35] hhp2k: btw: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?cc=us&dlc=en&product=93208&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN# [09:36] hhp2k: you're welcome :) [09:36] Gnea: I wasn't aware Hp provided linux support.. ? [09:36] hhp2k: oh they wrote their own printer driver interface to cups :P [09:36] gnea are you woman [09:36] Well, When I open the Synaptic Package Manager, I get an error "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [09:36] E: _cache->open() failed, please report." Any Ideas? I'm new to Ubuntu and pretty much anything linux based. [09:37] kibibyte: why, are you? [09:37] miranda: did you find out how much RAM is on the computer? [09:37] tcsajax: then open the terminal and run: sudo dpkg --configure -a [09:37] gaelfx: it's 49% done [09:37] just like it says [09:37] no [09:37] gnea: oh, nevermind.

Welcome! [09:38] miranda: you should check the _amount_ of ram, not only if it works okay [09:38] kibibyte: but no, i'm not [09:38] oti4883: that's what I am doing [09:38] ok kids, don't destroy each other... too much ;) [09:38] pajamain: Ah. "sudo" for some reason I thought it was "run". Guess I'm going to have to learn how to use the terminal properly. [09:38] Gnea: yessir ;) Enjoy your sleep, and thanks again [09:39] !sudo | tcsajax [09:39] tcsajax: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

[09:40] sebastien: pwd displays your current directory [09:41] sebastien: in the shell? $PWD [09:41] sebastien, there is no variable [09:41] sebastien, you could find out the name of directory or file using a nautilus script tho. [09:41] ok thanks [09:41] Gnea, are you male [09:41] how can i block website from my network for ever? [09:41] ok i want to do that [09:42] hi exist only gnome-look,org ? [09:42] for themes..icons..etc etc .. [09:42] haha [09:42] anyone feel like helping me diagnose a networking issue? [09:42] try me [09:43] gaelfx: possibly. Ask your question.

[09:43] !repeat zyx386 [09:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about repeat zyx386 [09:43] zyx386, use your firewall to stop traffic destined to that website's IP address.

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [09:43] pajamian: my connection works at about 1/10th what it does in Windows, and the problem is not Compiz [09:43] you can use ufw [09:44] hey... installed ubuntu with wubu... seemed to go okay, however after everything was installed and it reset, a command prompt thing came up after the initial loading dialogue... it said something about debian... anyone know anything bout this? [09:44] pajamian, sorry [09:44] gaelfx: what metric are you using to measure the connection by? [09:44] I'm having trouble searching for a specific channel in irssi... /list just lists all of them. squery doesn't work. [09:44] hes probablu using ip [09:45] pajamian: ok, don't freak out on me or anything, but I'm using utorrent to arrive at the specific number, but the problem is with anything that runs on the internet, update manager, ff, whatever [09:46] what is linux equivalent to age of empires... [09:46] gaelfx, look up how to enable n use ufw in ubuntu commands [09:46] pajamian: it has been said that the issue may be with my ethernet controller: nVidia Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller (rev a3) [09:46] yao_ziyuan, nethack [09:46] gaelfx: possibly, or the driver. [09:46] yao_ziyuan, are you chinesse [09:46] gaelfx: nforce ethernet cards are crap [09:46] ohhh I like this fluxbox theme. [09:47] pajamin: right, right, but have you ever seen any solutions to this problem? googling it is giving me mostly sound card problems [09:47] Blaqlight: which theme show it to me [09:47] oti4883: thanks, real helpful [09:47] gaelfx: and nvidia does not give any specs to free driver developers [09:47] kibibyte: yes baby [09:47] gaelfx: so the driver "forcedeth" is reverse engineered [09:47] oti4883: I'm aware of that, but I'm not buying a new computer to run Linux [09:47] gaelfx: I'm afraid this is one specific problem I haven't run across, though. Have you checked to see if there's a restricted driver available? [09:47] yao_ziyuan, haha you have funny name [09:47] so chineese [09:47] Baby_Shambl3s: its a custom theme because the original one I downloaded and wanted to use is broken. [09:48] yao mao tse tung [09:48] kibibyte: that's pinyin. wade giles is tse-yuan yao [09:48] gaelfx: well then complain to nvidia [09:48] pajamin: not really, could you point me in the right direction? [09:48] gaelfx: you should not have to buy a new computer, but maybe just a cheap PCI network card at the worst. [09:48] Blaqlight: upload it and show it to me plz [09:48] kibibyte: who uses Wade-Giles any more? [09:48] gaelfx: it's not ubuntu's fault that nvidia is not realeasing specs [09:48] upload it where? [09:48] pajamian: on a laptop? I'm pretty sure there is no PCI slot for it [09:48] is there an alternative to fbdesk? [09:48] inspyre: idesk [09:48] gaelfx: System / Administration / Hardware Drivers for the restricted driver manager. [09:49] how do I find out the ip of my external hdd (NAS)? [09:49] Blaqlight: ok thanks ill try [09:49] oti4883: I'm not blaming Ubuntu, I'm looking for a solution! sheesh... [09:49] gaelfx pcmcia [09:49] gaelfx: oh, then a pcmcia card. [09:49] pajamian: ah, but there is no extra slot at all on this computer [09:49] inspyre: I have it and use it though it has yet to do anything. I need to edit something Im sure but what I can't figure out. [09:49] can ubuntu be installed on ps3? [09:49] gaelfx - Did you check Nvidias website for drivers? [09:50] gaelfx: well, then a usb one? [09:50] can anyone recommend me a dark(black) compiz theme? [09:50] OldSage: not yet, but I'll try, thanks [09:50] pajamian: yeah, I'll think about it [09:50] pajamian i wouldnt use a usd ethernet device [09:50] gaelfx: there is none at the moment. a colleague of me also has problems with the card, it even locks up at high traffic and needs a reboot to work again. [09:50] koshari: as a last resort. [09:50] gaelfx - I am not sure about there ethernet cards, but I know they do have Linux Video card drivers [09:50] Baby_Shambl3s: upload it where? [09:50] pajamian: I was hoping there might be a less financial answer [09:51] Blaqlight: tynipic.com [09:51] OldSage: no ethernet drivers from nvidia. they simply don't care. [09:51] OldSage: yeah, I've already used Envy for that part [09:51] even if they have linux drivers, that doesnt mean much.. look at dlink chipsets.. i have a few wirless cards taht work like **** wthin ubuntu [09:51] gaelfx: maybe the wireless will work better (heh, talk about backwards). [09:51] Blaqlight: * tinypic.com [09:51] pajamian: you know, it's funny, but you might be right! [09:51] why in grub2 (chainloading) ubuntu splash-screen doesn't show up? Now I can boot, but I have several strange things [09:51] gaelfx you can normally get a ethernet port working, however sometimes you may need to put a driver on a blocklist or recreate the initramsf [09:52] gaelfx or even compile a driver from binary [09:52] pajamian: problem is, I have to connect through a static IP and then dial PPPoE and my AirPort express doesn't do that === user__ is now known as kevin_ [09:52] I'm using 7.10 on my lenovo 3000 n100 [09:52] gaelfx: also, I think that wdiswrapper works with ethernet drivers as well as wireless ones. [09:52] is there a fast and easy way to make a back up of my system [09:52] how do you list all internal ips from your system? [09:52] koshari: it works sometimes, but not every time [09:52] gaelfx: so that's another possibility ... to use the windows driver with wdiswrapper. [09:52] koshari: and I've never done anything that technical to get it working [09:52] gaelfx: errr ndis === kevin_ is now known as kevin13879_ [09:53] Baby_Shambl3s: its not going to show the transparent menus... [09:53] pajamian: haha, it's ok, I knew what you meant [09:53] expertx: ifconfig [09:53] pajamian: I'll try googling that, since I have all the drivers on my external hard drive [09:54] pajamian: ifconfig only shows me my 2 NICS not my external hdd shared [09:54] gaelfx: I understand that laptops can be a pain sometimes. I generalyl recommend checking out Linux compatibility before buying a laptop but if you already have one then I'm not oppposed to trying all different possibilities to get things to work. [09:54] i need halp automounting a hdd, i know about fstab, but i have no idea what to put in there, because the harddrive is not currently listed [09:54] what is /dev/net/tun's group and how do I add a user to that group? [09:54] Blaqlight: nvm :'( [09:54] expertx: right, it shows all the IPs configured on your system. [09:54] pajamian: believe me, next time it's all ATI ;) [09:55] pajamian: but that's not for a couplle years [09:55] gnome screenshot tool doesn't do that. is there something Im missing? [09:55] gaelfx: i'd go for intel chipsets [09:55] grub2 is not very difficult, when it works. but I like to get a external usb-drive to boot (which doesn't work with grub legacy) [09:55] gaelfx: last time I checked ATI wasn't so great, but AMD is really cooperating with the Linux community on it now so it shouldn't be long. [09:55] guido_, root and you don't want to do that for obvious reasons [09:55] pajamian: that doesnt tell me much. you see I just bought a NAS, its showing up on smb alright, but I needs it ip in order to access the web interface [09:56] unop: indeed... but I'm using virtualbox and I need rw access there, what should I do? [09:56] expertx: browse to your router and check in that. [09:56] Baby_Shambl3s: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=jzz7lv&s=4 [09:56] can someone PLEASE help me with this nVidia issue? it's driving me INSANEE!! I can't take the system lockups and black/white screens any more [09:56] expertx: and pajamian please go to #ubuntu-offtopic since your topic is offtopic [09:56] pajamian: yeah, that's what I've been thinking, plus there are a whole lot more howtos out there regarding ATi cards that look promising [09:56] guido_: which group has /dev/net/tun now? check with ls -l /dev/net/tun [09:56] gnomefreak: offtopic? how? [09:56] gnomefreak: huh????? [09:57] pajamian: /j #ubuntu-offtopic [09:57] expertx: your topic is not support related [09:57] grub2 - there is a command which replaces find -> search, but now it always gives the message device not found [09:57] oti4883: crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 200 2008-07-01 17:50 /dev/net/tun [09:57] !offtopic [09:57] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [09:57] i need halp automounting a hdd, i know about fstab, but i have no idea what to put in there, because the harddrive is not currently listed [09:57] =D [09:57] im asking how to list internal ips within ubuntu, how is that not support related? [09:57] guido_: hmm, no special group [09:58] anyone? visual issues with the nVidia driver? [09:58] Baby_Shambl3s: Ill never see what it looks like there, 56k connection. lol [09:58] guido_: simple solution would be setting permission for /dev/net/tun in udev rules to 666 [09:58] jeeves__ - Are you using the restricted driver? [09:59] pajamian: It solved when I unchecked "Allow pages to use their own fonts" from Edit-> Preferences -> Content -> Advanced in firefox. deleting/uninstalling the mozilla dir did nothing. weird. thanks :) [09:59] guido_: but then any user on your system can access the device r/w [09:59] expertx: sorry it wasnt you i meant [09:59] oti4883: would that remain after a a reboot? [09:59] do you mean grub2 is not ubuntu specific? [09:59] oti4883: I'm the only user [09:59] gnomefreak: oh okay no worries [09:59] guido_: if you change it in udev rules, yes. if you just use chmod, no. [09:59] KalhaS: that's an option that should remain checked, unless you want all pages to have the same font. [10:00] oti4883: how do I change it in udev? [10:00] OldSage, yes, I've tried the restricted driver, and the driver from the nVidia site. and nothing fixes it. everything else works fine on my system, except this constant freezzing, and white bars accross stuff. and right now, it's just recovered from a "greyed out" screen [10:00] guido_: look for a file with "permission" in its name /etc/udev/rules.d/ [10:00] pajamian: thank you sir, i found the ip through my router :) [10:00] pajamian: no it suck all the pages to have the same font, but it works only that way [10:00] jeeves__ - hmm... are you using a dual boot system per chance? [10:00] guido_: i have no ubuntu 8.04 here, so i don't know the exact name [10:01] OldSage, from what I understand, it's a VERY common problem with the last 2 releases, and I've yet to find an answer. And yes, it's a dual boot. But I'm in the process of killing windows sans the gaming [10:02] guido_: on my 7.04 i have 40-permissions.rules and i added the line: KERNEL=="tun", MODE="0666" [10:02] oti4883: ok, I'm on permissions.rules [10:02] guido_: if this syntax is still valid, you can add the line there [10:02] oti4883: on any section in particular? [10:03] jeeves__ - hmm... I use nvidia myself and havn't had any problems. Which nvidia card do you have? [10:03] OldSage, all I know is that the longer the system runs, the less stable it is [10:03] hello please can you tell me the commande to delet a file [10:03] guido_: i appended the line and the end of the file [10:03] KalhaS: That sucks, I don't know what to say if deleting .mozilla didn't help. I would ask in #firefox (or whatever channel they use) and see if they can help./ [10:03] jeeves__: well how have you tracked that instability down to the video card? [10:03] hi how I install the font? [10:04] Hm, thanks again pajamian [10:04] KalhaS: you're welcome [10:04] help help xD [10:04] OldSage, it's a 7300 GO (laptop on a Toshibs) All I know is that the system freezes the screen (but when it's doing it, I can style type, etc), then the screen flasses a few times, then goes to a "grey screen", then releases it back to what I was doing. [10:04] how i install the font !? .ttf [10:04] jeeves__ - Does it do this in windows as well? [10:04] expertx, as an aside, if a host shows up in smb/neighbourhood -- use nmblookup to resolve names to ipaddresses [10:05] IndyGunFreak, what do you mean? I know the fans/etc are running fine on it. In windows, there are no problems. and as of 2 major releases ago, there was no problem with Ubuntu. [10:05] expertx: about that IP ... You should set your router to always assign the same IP to that mac address or it will change next time you restart your network appliance. [10:05] OldSage, no, in wondows, everything is stable, and as of 2 releases ago, it ran fine in Ubuntu [10:05] oti4883: is the change applied instantaneously or do I have to reboot? [10:05] jeeves__: i mean, i'm not saying it isn't the video card(although now that you've identified it, I'm almost sure its not), what has led you to believe its a video driver problem [10:05] guido_: modprobe -r tun ; modprobe tun should be enough [10:05] how i install the font !? [10:06] hello.. [10:06] OldSage, right now, I can't even get Firefox to launch (it says that there is allready a copy running), and it's the same with pidgon [10:06] !font | cr0w [10:06] cr0w: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [10:06] guido_: may udev also needs to be restarted. /etc/init.d/udev restart [10:06] jeeves__, make sure no other instances of firefox are running [10:06] jeeves__: there will be a lock file somewhere under your .mozilla directory that you ned to delete. [10:06] *need [10:07] jeeves__ - Sounds like your having more than just Video Driver problems... [10:07] OldSage: exactly my point [10:07] IndyGunFreak - Could be he knocked something off kilter in Gnome/Compix [10:07] OldSage, all of this started with the video issue. this is basiclly a fresh install (I installed it less than 24 hours ago) [10:07] ugh, i can't even load NVidia.com :S [10:07] umm, guys compiz runs perfectly on my ati1950 but whenever i run a 3d app(like google earth or any 3d game), the screen starts flashing black [10:08] i need help with live CD for xp recovery. i setup network configuration using ifconfig, but then i can'g ping other machine on network.. says desination host unreachable.. i can ping to my own machine .. [10:08] i need to delet a hidden file in rood folder, the folder i want to delet name is /root/.Virtualbox how can i delet that folder ? [10:08] OldSage: anything is possible i guess(I don't do compiz, so maybe thats the issue).. but I run a 7900, which uses the same driver as his, and i have absolutely zero problems [10:08] central, sudo rm -rf /root/.Virtualbox [10:08] !sudo | central [10:08] central: 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) [10:08] central: sudo rm -rf /root/.Virtualbox [10:08] yes thx [10:08] nice new install on iMac worked :) [10:08] central: make sure you don't mess up that command or you could seriously trash your system. [10:09] IndyGunFreak - I have the 8800 laptop, and I have had little problem myself [10:10] i need help with live CD for xp recovery. i setup network configuration using ifconfig, but then i can'g ping other machine on network.. says desination host unreachable.. i can ping to my own machine .. [10:10] IndyGunFreak - I thought compiz was installed by default in Ubuntu? [10:10] how can i set up ubuntu to play multiple sound, if im listening to mpd/rhythmbox i cant listen to sound on the browser etc? [10:10] OldSage: understood, thats why i'm trying to figure out how he immediately identified the video driver as the culprit... did he trouble shoot it, or follow some instructions, etc, Just saying, "Well, the display is jacked, so its gotta be the video driver" is a little silly [10:10] hello [10:10] hello [10:10] OldSage: it is, but i don't use it.. (Desktop effects to "None" :)) [10:10] IndyGunFreak - Ahh gotcha :) [10:11] OldSage, sorry about that, the system just crashed back to a hard reboot [10:11] I am new to Ubuntu... haha [10:11] IndyGunFreak, sorry, system just crashed back to a hard reboot [10:11] jeeves__: i think your problems are far deeper than just a video driver [10:12] IndyGunFreak, you're right. it's because of the sticker on the lid of the laptop [10:12] guoyang: well, welcome to the club. [10:12] jeeves__: well now you're being a dumbass, so i won't bother commenting further. [10:12] the folder is still in my root .. [10:13] IndyGunFreak, I wasn't going to. I was going to ask what the next step is to get to the root of this problem [10:13] central: open a terminal, gksudo nautilus enter password, then navigate too the folder and delete it [10:13] hahaha [10:13] sudo nautilus [10:13] from a terminal? [10:14] Mongoose: no, gksu nautilus. If you must. [10:14] how can i set up ubuntu to play multiple sound, if im listening to mpd/rhythmbox i cant listen to sound on the browser etc? [10:14] !gksudo | Mongoose [10:14] Mongoose: 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) [10:14] i know that if i install ubuntu-server, i can get ubuntu-desktop by aptitude install ubuntu-desktop, but how can I have the viceversa? [10:14] IndyGunFreak, any ideas on getting to the bottom of this problem? [10:14] I just thought it was funny using a GUI to delete something from a terminal [10:14] OldSage, want to take a stab @ this one? [10:14] anybody experienced with gproftpd behind a router? [10:14] jeeves__: no, not really, but i'm sure its not the sticker on your laptop [10:14] rm -rf is enough for anyone [10:15] jeeves__: by removing the GUI packages [10:15] IndyGunFreak - This may sound like a wile idea, but could the new Linux Kernal Power Management protocols be messing with his laptops screen? [10:15] the new X based installer is pretty slick [10:15] Mongoose, apparently not - he might be struggling with getting the case of the filename right [10:15] first new ubuntu install I've done in a while I normally upgrade [10:15] Flannel, well, if I remove the GUIs, then there isn't much point in having it installed on my laptop. LOL [10:15] Mongoose: i agree, but he apparently didn't do that right for some reason, and gksudo nautilus is almost failproof. [10:15] jeeves__: You asked how to make it a server. [10:16] OldSage: i really don't know.. [10:16] Flannel, not this box. this one is my laptop [10:16] had to fix my partitions after the ubuntu installer to get it booting to grub however [10:16] ycy_: just remove the GUI packages. [10:16] jeeves__ - I can't really help you. I am pretty sure though that your problem runs deeper than just the driver. [10:16] but that's b/c of trying to do winxp and ubunut in the same bootcamp part I bat [10:16] so sleepy [10:16] OldSage, humm, I think it's strange that it ran fine a few releases ago [10:17] Flannel: so there's no ubuntu-server metapackage? [10:17] jeeves__ - Try disabling the restricted driver and see if it does it. [10:17] cool thanks [10:17] OldSage, the restricted driver isn't installed [10:17] czesc [10:17] ycy_: mmm, I might be misunderstanding you. Do you mean you want to remove the GUI? or add in some server progrmas? [10:17] jeeves__ - Which driver so you have installed? [10:18] ew anthy is default now? [10:18] OldSage, the one from the nVidia site [10:18] omg this won't do [10:18] oyasuminasai [10:18] fix this tomorrow [10:18] thx :) [10:18] go to System->Hardware Drivers and disable the video driver [10:18] sla [10:18] sal [10:19] jeeves__ - If it does it after you disable to driver, then we will at least know that the driver is not the issue [10:19] Flannel: ok i'll explain you. if i install ubuntu-server from cd, if i want to install ALSO desktop i do: aptitude install ubuntu-desktop (is a metapackage that install all the packages that ubuntu-desktop installs). however, if i install ubuntu-desktop, is there the possibility to install ubuntu-server metapackage? (i can't find ubuntu-server metapackage in the repositories..) [10:19] OldSage, nothing shows up in the driver box === gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak [10:19] how can i set up ubuntu to play multiple sound, if im listening to mpd/rhythmbox i cant listen to sound on the browser etc? [10:20] jeeves__ - hmmmm [10:20] jeeves__ - Well, I am out of ideas [10:20] hello, when I insert a dvd, I get this error message: mount_point cannot contain the following characters: newline, [10:20] G_DIR_SEPARATOR (usually /) [10:20] and it doesn't get mounted [10:20] what do I do? [10:20] ycy_, look at http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome, has a guide how to go to pure gnome [10:20] I installed OOo3 beta through using dpkg -i etc. How do I go about removing it the same way? dpkg -P *.deb refuses, as does xargs'ing searches to dpkg as well. [10:20] OldSage, that's the problem. I've tried the restricted drivers (it locks the system up), and the drivers from the nVidia site, same thing [10:20] ycy_: Again, that doesn't answer my question. Do you want to *add* to your GUI? or remove your GUI? [10:21] Flannel: i want to have ubuntu-server AND ubuntu-desktop [10:21] hateball, apt-get remove ... [10:21] jeeves__ - If you are using more than one driver and its doing the same thing... that pretty much eliminates the driver as the culprit [10:21] Ramunas: can you copy and paste your /etc/fstab to the pastebin? [10:21] ycy_: Ah. You already have it. [10:21] pajamian, sure, just a sec [10:21] Flannel, sudo apt-get --purge remove ycy_ [10:21] ycy_: "Ubuntu Server" is ubuntu-standard and ubuntu-minimal [10:21] Flannel: ? if i install ubuntu-desktop from cd, i don't have ubuntu-server [10:21] ycy_: you do. [10:22] maybe i should rephrase the question my box doesn't play multiple sound, if im listening to mpd/rhythmbox i cant listen to sound on the browser etc? [10:22] Flannel: It sounds like what he wants is a fully functional desktop with server administrative applications to run whatever server(s) he is trying to run. [10:22] pajamian, http://pastebin.larskleinschmidt.de/a0c4 [10:22] Flannel: so ubuntu-server is a subset of packages that i can find in ubuntu-desktop? [10:22] ycy_: the "server" isntall is the core of all Ubuntu flavors. [10:22] OldSage, hummm, well we know the effects are video related (I get white bars over mouse selectable things), and the screeen flases black every once and a while [10:22] cirkit: yes you got it [10:22] ycy_: No, ubuntu-desktop actually doesn't depend on ubuntu-standard, but if you install the desktop version, you'll have the server version as well. [10:23] Baby_Shambl3s, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio [10:23] ycy_: Ubuntu server is called that because it includes server applications like Apache. You have Ubuntu desktop which is non-server software. All you need to do is use apt-get or synpatic to install all server software you want with your Ubuntu desktop and then that will solve it. [10:23] hi all , my probleme is: when i boot in my fisrt gnome session, i need to kill 'nautilus' before it run correctly, Some ideas why ? [10:23] OldSage, brb [10:23] hey, i've got apache2 installed on my machine, but /etc/init.d/apache2 stop tells me that the pid it sees isn't running but there's definitely 6 apache servers being run on boot [10:23] cirkit: no, "server" includes the *option* of installing apache. [10:24] unop: Problem is I cant pass the filenames to apt, as it doesnt list it that way === nl is now known as nl|away [10:24] cirkit: yes, but my question is: if i install ubuntu-server from cd, i can have ubuntu-desktop by simply: aptitude install ubuntu-desktop. the viceversa is not possible, because there's no ubuntu-server metapackage... [10:24] anyone got a clue what might have happened? [10:24] Ramunas: not sure why it says the mount point can't contain a /, and that file looks fine to me. I would try googling for the error message and see what you find. [10:24] hateball, don't use filenames - use the packagenames [10:24] hi i compiled a kernel using a howto from a book(using debian kernel tools), the problem is that i am missing a initr image , i do not know how to create a corect image for debian systems [10:25] simi: sudo update-initramfs -ck NAMEOFKERNEL [10:25] unop: I was hoping to not have to do that... as it'd be quicker and mean less guessing [10:25] ycy_: You're not listening. All "Desktop" installs already include the 'server' install (except for the server specific kernel, which you probably dont want anyway) [10:25] simi: or su to root if you are in debian system rather than an ubuntu i guess [10:26] OldSage, ok, I'm back, I'm trying the restricted drivers again [10:26] ycy_: the only difference between the server and the desktop install is : kernel version, pre-installed packages. Its not another "version" of ubuntu. [10:26] Flannel: yes but, if you say that desktop include server, so the server packages are a subset of desktop packages... [10:26] mycroftiv: i am in kubuntu [10:26] ycy_: "server" is the core of an Ubuntu (distro) machine. All of the flavors include everything in the server install. [10:27] ycy_: However, ubuntu-desktop doesn't depend on ubuntu-standard or ubuntu-minimal [10:27] Flannel: i would have thaught server would have LAMp installed where as no desktop versions do, i think you may mean minimal? [10:27] simi: sudo update-initramfs -ck NAMEOFKERNEL should generate your initrd and place it in your boot director correctly === nl|away is now known as nl [10:28] koshari: With the server CD you can choose to have LAMP preinstalled, but its not strictly a part of the server install [10:28] so [10:28] you can install lamp by a one-liner apt-get install command. [10:28] koshari: Thats an extra option you can select to install ontop of the server install itself [10:28] if i want a server with desktop's preinstalled packages and server preinstalled packages and kernel, what should i do? [10:29] Flannel oh yes, anyway you could write a script easy enough to install anything that desktop dont have that servar may, [10:29] ycy_: Do you want the server kernel? [10:29] yes, because of the I/O diff [10:29] ycy_: Do you know the differences between the desktop and server kernel? [10:29] ycy_: install the desktop, then install ubuntu-server, and then install the packages for lamp. [10:29] Flannel: yes, a different handle of I/O [10:29] ycy_: You realise you can't run the generic and server kernels at the same tiem, right? [10:29] fyrestrtr other way round , there is no server metapackage [10:30] koshari: there is for the kernel ;) [10:30] koshari: yes.. [10:30] ycy_: Alright. Install from the desktop CD, then install linux-server, then you probably want to remove the linux-generic kernels too. [10:30] and that's what I meant anyway -- install the ubuntu-server kernel package. [10:30] Flannel: yes, i would run server kernel [10:30] or linux-server [10:30] I forgot the exact package name. [10:30] there is more to the server kernel than just I/O [10:30] what if i install ubuntu-server from cd and then apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ? [10:30] hello how can i give the permission to access my user central to the folder /dev/vboxdrv [10:31] ycy_: it doesn't matter either way you'll end up with the same system. [10:31] ycy_: There wont be any difference if you install linux-server and remove linux-generic [10:31] ycy_ i would guess grub would give you a kernel choice? [10:31] central: add your user to the group that has access to that device. [10:31] koshari: ubuntu-desktop doesn't depend on a kernel [10:31] ubuntu-desktop isn't even a real package, its a meta package. [10:31] this is so CONFUSING [10:31] ycy_: and when I mean "remove linux-generic" I mean all the packages and metapackages of it. [10:31] central : I believe you need to add your user account to the group named either Vbox or Virtualbox which is created at install. [10:31] ycy_: no, its not really. [10:31] how do i remove someone from ignore? [10:32] Baby_Shambl3s: /unignore nick [10:32] Alsryth scanners installation and firewire sometimes need you to manually add people to the group [10:32] ok my idea is [10:32] install from cd ubuntu-server -> apt-get install ubuntu-desktop = ubuntu-desktop+ubuntu-server [10:33] instead of install ubuntu-desktop from cd -> apt-get install linux-server = ubuntu-desktop+kernel server [10:33] they are VERY different [10:33] ycy_: No, the outcome is identical (assuming you remove -generic, or at least ignore the kernel installs) [10:34] Flannel: in the second one i don't have installed the ubuntu-server packages? like lamp, et c [10:34] and by ignore, I mean "don't care that you have linux-generic also installed" [10:34] yes forget kernels [10:34] ycy_: lamp is *not* a part of the server install. [10:34] i just installed from fresh 8.04 the only thing i did was install my video card, and installed compiz-fusion.. it seems that none of my shortcut keys are working... ctrl + c ctrl+v etc anyone ? [10:34] hi, ist here a way to force ubuntu to put the trash only on the systempartition and not on any dataoartition? [10:34] ill bet its something inside compiz jsut not sure what [10:34] ycy_: lamp is an extra thing you can have the server install CD install for you. But its not a part of "Ubuntu Server" [10:35] what should i use for that ?user setting ? [10:35] hateball, it's quite simple if you can use grep and cut .. apt-get remove $(apt-show-versions -r ^openoffice.org | grep -i "$VERSION_STRING" | cut -d "/" -f 1) [10:35] ycy_: and installing it on a desktop system is easy anyway. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [10:35] Flannel: ok that's more clear, thanks [10:35] Flannel: so what is the difference (in packages for server) between installing ubuntu-server and ubuntu-desktop? [10:36] ycy_: There is no ubuntu-server [10:36] hello :) [10:36] ycy_: And I'm not really sure what you're asking there anyway. [10:36] i have added someone to ignore list but i cna still see them typing what am i doing wrong? [10:36] is it possible to install ubuntu on a P3 seleron 500 MHz ? [10:36] :P [10:36] Jonian: yes [10:36] Baby_Shambl3s, failing to ignore them. [10:36] unop: In this case it was quite easy, just apt-get remove ooobasis3-* and it pulled the depenencies etc. I still think it'd be nice if you could pass it through the original packages somehow... If I installed 500 packages and then wanted to remove them I'd be quite annoyed [10:37] Flannel , what version ? [10:37] DRebellion: plz tell me how on xchat [10:37] Something is wrong with my pc's networking (not wireless). it regularly slows down to a crawl (<5kb/sec) but I don't know why. I've done enough tests to know its just this pc and nothing else, but I don't know how to fix it. Any suggestions? [10:37] Jonian: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [10:37] Flannel , thnx. :) [10:38] hateball, well, you can always extract the actual package names from *.deb in a directory and then pipe that to apt-get. i believe dpkg-scanpackages does this [10:38] !quadkonsole [10:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about quadkonsole [10:38] i need to give the permission to my user "central" to this folder /dev/vboxdrv how to please what should i use to do it [10:38] Baby_Shambl3s, window > ignore list > add > nick!userid@host.com [10:39] hey guys [10:39] central, chmod 777 /folder/ -r [10:39] anybody know anything about QuadKonsole? it's not in the repositories and ubottu doesn't know anything about it [10:39] gavi, err no [10:39] sudo ;-P [10:39] oh gah, no gavi [10:40] does anyone know a good program for playing music and managing the ipod [10:40] y not? [10:40] Why whenever i type sudo apt-get install i get this error, example: E: Couldn't find package ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 [10:40] central, make your user a member of the group owning that directory [10:40] Flannel: how can i get this menu in ubuntu-desktop? http://images.howtoforge.com/images/ubuntu_home_fileserver/25.png [10:40] Amarok doesn't play nice with gnome and does actually synch with the ipod [10:40] havocstorm: if you use gnome, rhythmbox is quite nice [10:40] unless you want to be giving exec permissions to loads of files that aren't executable, and messign up other flags such as suid and sgid, etc. [10:40] does it synch with the ipoid? [10:40] havocstorm: I don't know about its ipod capabilities [10:40] !info ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 [10:40] ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 (source: ndiswrapper): Userspace utilities for the ndiswrapper Linux kernel module. In component main, is optional. Version 1.50-1ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 18 kB, installed size 116 kB [10:41] marin, make sure you have all the ubuntu repositories enabled [10:41] havocstorm, I haven't had problems with amarok in gnome... but ipod I'm not sure about [10:41] kenkku, rythmbox is a great music player, but it doesn't synch the ipod [10:41] ycy_: Thats a menu during the install itself. tasksel is equivalent in functionality [10:41] CaptainMorgan, all amark does is copy songs to the ipod, not much else [10:42] Hi all i am new att Ubuntu(All linux) can some one help me in a privet chat pleas [10:42] unop, how to enable repositories? [10:42] hello ; do you know any tool to download from rapidshare without an account ? thank you [10:42] havocstorm i run amarok fine with gnome? [10:42] marin, System > Admin. > Software Sources [10:42] havocstorm: by syncing you mean what? do you need something more sophisticated than just copying songs to it? [10:43] kenkku, like synching play counts and playlists and ratings, much like itunes [10:43] bobby, that's impossible even without a tool - so not [10:43] gtkpod works fine for copying files to an ipod [10:43] no* [10:43] koshari, its the half-assed ipod support that did it [10:43] unop, so what from there, everything is checked there [10:43] O have created a ext3 storage partition how do i mount it in ubuntu 8.04 [10:43] Luhnne : it is better to ask here because other can benefit [10:43] ghostlines, yeah but it doesn't play songs and crashes alot for me [10:44] oki [10:44] unop : how come ? a simple download manager should work ; ii don't need hacks to download multiple times; just a manager to get the files one by one [10:44] How hard is for an intergrated music player/ ipod manager like itunes in ubuntu [10:44] havocstorm mine connects great to a g4 ipod photo clasic? i dont care much for the playlis statistics much, just transfering music on and off [10:44] marin, open up a terminal and run this then. sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 [10:44] fols why is my ctrl+c and ctrl+v not working.. i think something is disabled in CCSM [10:45] i am trying to install new driver for my ATi card but dont know how to install them [10:45] bobby : I didn´t work with it but you can try d4x [10:45] koshari, I have playlists of my favourite songs and stuff, just transfering songs kinda sucks [10:45] bobby, a simple download manager won't work as they have a CAPTCHA filter to stop automated tools from accessing the services. [10:45] i got ubuntu 8,0 [10:45] unop: i don't see one now [10:45] havocstorm if rythmbox had dynamic playlist i would prolly use it, but thats the deal sealer for me [10:45] zvacet : thank you [10:46] exaile ftw [10:46] bobby : see if it works first and then you can thank me :) [10:46] koshari, do you think that there's crappy ipod support because not many linux users own ipods or something? [10:46] zvacet : i read about it ; it now it's little hope :) , but at least it's a suggestion [10:47] hi [10:47] Luhnne : what kind of problem do you have with it [10:47] how i install Cairo dock ?! [10:47] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> havocstorm, what r u talking about, linux ipod support is great [10:47] bobby, how's an automated tool going to get past something like this? http://depressedprogrammer.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/worstcaptchaever.jpg [10:47] havocstorm as i said i dont find it crappy, so i would guess its more to do with not many people care about transfering playcounts and stuff like that [10:48] [Hardy]TuTUXG, there's no program that intergrates music library managerment and ipod management properly [10:48] ati-driver-installer-8-7-x86.x86_64(2).run [10:48] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> havocstorm, um.. try songbird [10:48] unop : did u see the new rapidshare site ? [10:48] i can install this [10:49] cant [10:49] how i install cairo dock ? [10:49] unop : and it;s ok if a manager would ask the user to write the captch down [10:49] Luhnne : http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/ [10:49] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> havocstorm, if u just wanna export songs from ipod, rhythmbox can already do the job [10:50] TuTUXG i think he means syncing stuff like playcounts ect [10:50] [Hardy]TuTUXG, gah, do I have to compile songbird for ubuntu [10:50] oki thx i will se iff i can get it 2 wurk [10:51] I have created a ext3 storage partition how do i mount it in ubuntu 8.04 [10:51] hi all [10:51] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> havocstorm, and if u deal with a hfs ipod, disable journaling and linux can handle it just like a mac [10:51] guys have you experience lower performance after using ubuntu for longer time like in windows u know [10:51] [Hardy]TuTUXG, gah, hfs ipod? [10:51] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> havocstorm, no, it's not need to compile, just download and run === gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak [10:51] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> havocstorm, the mac format?

[11:03] hello all [11:04] hi gh0st-Pirate [11:04] how are you?\ [11:04] hateball, i hate the way all these dpkg/apt tools are organised - there's too many of them all doing different things, hard to keep track of what does what [11:04] unop it just saves me alot of banwidth and time [11:05] wondering if someone could help me with a gcc error, anyone savvy? [11:05] hey guys [11:05] what is the best graphic distro? [11:05] who here uses song bird [11:05] unop: Well for a newbie like me it is at least... The logical way would be just to dpkg -i *.deb to install, and dpkg -r *.deb to remove. Not having it remove everything, from that directory [11:05] ozkelligirl, i find that its actually find that it is ubuntu [11:06] wondering if someone could help me with a gcc error, anyone savvy? [11:06] i'm using ubuntu8.04 [11:06] Anyone able to get ATI remote wonder plus working? [11:06] you will get better response if you just post your problem [11:08] ozkelligirl you mean graphics apps or eye candy?

[11:12] noob question, how do I install xfce4? [11:13] sugi, apt-get install xfce4 [11:13] Mechdave: [11:13] sugi from ubuntu vanilla or scratch? [11:13] the resolution of the approached window is too much large reduces like it? [11:13] Mechdave: thanks [11:14] sugi, best to use this: sudo apt-get install xfce4 [11:14] koshari, .... what ya mean? i am under gnome right now [11:14] the resolution of "window access" is too much large..i can reduce it ? [11:14] sugi actually xubuntu-desktop is prolly a better solution [11:14] where i can find the text that scroles up when booting? the /var/log/boot is empty? i must enable liging? i want to see what is started and what i can remove, time stamp would be nice [11:15] simi, dmesg [11:15] koshari: it would be better when find apps like.... just install gnome apps for xubuntu, or do I have to find special packages for xubuntu? === shevek is now known as Guest45351 [11:15] simi, and /var/log/messages [11:15] the resolution of "window access" is too much large..i can reduce it ? [11:16] sugi you can really install whatever packages you like, however if you use xubuntu-desktop it will install all the apps the xubuntu CD install would [11:17] the resolution of "window access" is too much large..i can reduce it ? [11:17] koshari: what would be better? sudo apt-get or cd installation (if i can even apt-get xubuntu) [11:17] sugi: live Cd install [11:18] sugi: wait what exactly are you doing [11:18] sugi apt-get will be fine if you have the bandwidth, it will also give you the added advantage of being able to log in as an xfce or gnome session [11:19] Baby_Shambl3s: looking for a new interface, i am under gnome, and I want somethign more light weight [11:20] koshari: what kinds of draw backs would I get from either xfce or xubuntu?? Like do I have to find special packages for each interface? [11:20] I followed this tutorial on how to set my wlan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff , after I done everything my WLAn was still not working, I couldn't turn on my WLAN on button, then I typed in console this http://pastebin.com/f60b7c0c7 and wlan started glowing it was on, now I setup everything to connect on my router through WLAN, and It say that is connected(signal is 94%) but I still can't go on internet, help me [11:21] how I open the file .config? [11:21] cr0w, with pico [11:21] cr0w, pico filename.config [11:22] sugi, some of the gnome 'gadgets' won't work in xfce unless you install the gnome support libs, but by and large everything should work in either desktop [11:22] sugi the xubuntu metapackage includes apps that are suited to a lighter weight environment, theres not much point in having an xfce session for nimbleness if oyur going to usse more intensive programs that a lihgter varient may be better suited to [11:22] sugi, if you are looking for lightweight then xfce is a much better choice [11:23] ok :D [11:23] the resolution of "window access" is too much large..i can reduce it ? [11:23] sugi, there is fluxbox & jwm those are quite light and dont require any extra packages like XFCE "im positive those two are lgither than xfce" [11:23] sugi personnaly i prefer fluxbox for a minimalistic environment, others like blackbox ect... [11:24] I followed this tutorial on how to set my wlan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff , after I done everything my WLAn was still not working, I couldn't turn on my WLAN on button, then I typed in console this http://pastebin.com/f60b7c0c7 and wlan started glowing it was on, now I setup everything to connect on my router through WLAN, and It say that is connected(signal is 94%) but I still can't go on internet, help [11:25] sugi: xubuntu same as ubuntu but with gnome apps mostly i didnt see much of a difference compared to fluxbox which was great but needs a lot of editing and JWM [11:25] sugi again though other than taking up some hard drive space theres really no harm in having a few desktop sessions available to check out, the only real caveat i find is a lot more updates .... [11:26] Baby_Shambl3s i actually find fluxbox easier to configure than xfce [11:26] koshari: true but in his case i believe he needs a better desktop manager [11:27] koshari: really, hmmm I haven never tried to configure xfce tried it once kept it for like 30min took it off :) [11:27] has firefox 3 been released for ubuntu hardy? i'm on hardy but my repos are showing firefox 3 beta [11:27] xfce is simple enough to configure, you can get it looking very nice [11:28] threequarks, I think 3.0.1 just came out the other day as an update [11:28] sugi if you want ultra light weight boot an application into a pure x session :-) not good for multitasking but great for single apps, like kiosk browsers and jukeboxes, this is basicly how tomtom navigators work [11:28] th0r: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0?

[11:56] bye all [11:56] wols_, Flannel, Ok, thanks for response. I am currently dual booting win2k and ubuntu 5.04. [11:56] Should I remove 5.04 (and how?) and then install the newest ubuntu. [11:56] hmm th0r, do i just add my text in there? oddly enough, after the restart, the file is no longer empty [11:56] hi, I have a problem with pulseaudio: I have two soundcards and I set the default output to be soundcard #2, while amarok and mplayer output to that soundcard, flash from inside of firefox still outputs to soundcard #1, what could be the cause? [11:57] ogge: if you want to update to 8.04, your best bet would be to nuke that partition and just install 8.04 [11:57] Jewfro : still same [11:57] kindo, ok cool. [11:57] ogge: No need to remove, just install the next one overtop. 8.04 will work, yeah. You'll want the alternate CD if you're going to use fluxbox. [11:57] or do i use an "echo" command, never done this before [11:57] anhdh its not a file its the device name . like sda3 , ie the drive (sda) and the partition (1) ect [11:57] Baby_Shambl3s, actually it's just this command, sudo apt-get install libgtkglext1 [11:57] whyking_: flash does not support pulseaudio by default [11:57] Flannel: he can't just upgrade to 8.04 [11:57] ogge: just use the liveCd to delete the partitions for 5.04 and swap and if your home is on a different HD just set it up to pick it up [11:57] not from 5.04 [11:57] ogge: You'll want to install the text-only, and then add fluxbox to that (just like you did in Hoary) [11:57] lunaris, from the directory /home/lunaris/Desktop, just try the command sudo ./filename, or sudo sh ./filename - beyond that you've exhausted by knowledge, did you try just double clicking it? [11:57] gh0st-Pirate, near the end of /etc/ssh/sshd.conf is a line that defines the banner file. Create a text file that contains your welcome message, then put that path/filename in sshd.conf as the banner filename [11:57] kindofabuzz: You're right. Who said otherwise? [11:58] sliverchair: ive tried to get it working with no avail it uses ram much better than PCSX [11:58] Flannel, perfect, do I need that 8.04 on a burned CD, or can I install it in another way? [11:58] korashi thanks now i get it [11:58] since I dont have a cd burner.... [11:58] ogge: Burned CD really is easiest. but... [11:58] ogge: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Installation%20without%20a%20CD [11:58] kenkku, I use flash 10 beta, I see it as a client in pulseaudio [11:59] Flannel: you, you said to just upgrade [11:59] Jewfro : I'ts working now with sudo ./filename command! Thanks!!! [11:59] ogge, you can request a free CD, takes weeks though, you can buy them for a few bucks from a number of locations, you can install netbootable files on a usb thumbdrive and pull the rest live - many options [11:59] kindofabuzz: Where did I do that? [11:59] thanks for your help guys! [11:59] Flannel: [05:57:13] ogge: No need to remove, just install the next one overtop. 8.04 will work, yeah. You'll want the alternate CD if you're going to use fluxbox. [12:00] whyking_: try changing the source manually first. the default bit only affects new streams, afaik [12:00] kindofabuzz: installing overtop is not upgrading. [12:00] TuniX12, ty but i already have all the bios for the PSX but cnat get the actuall thing to wrok [12:00] Flannel: my bad, misunderstood ya [12:00] kindofabuzz: no worries [12:00] Baby_Shambl3s: try another emulator [12:01] Jewfro : Do you know maybe some program for TV/FM cards? [12:01] Baby_Shambl3s: you should donwload plugins too [12:01] sorry to sound like a noob, but i tracked down the issue.net file, {which only contained my ubuntu version} i edited it, saved it, restarted ssh, and still nothing. {sudo priv. for the issue.net editing} the path is also correct. [12:01] TuniX12: I only managed to get it to work once but someone else set it up for me sadly I havent seen them anymore [12:01] lunaris, that I do not, search through synaptic [12:01] is there another process i must restart? [12:01] Jewfro : I have done that,but nothing good appears:) [12:01] im only using ssh localhost [12:02] lunaris, try sourceforge.net :) [12:03] Jewfro : I'm searching over it now!

[13:33] Vegombrei: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [13:33] lunaris: hmm... right click desktop > desktop effects ... turn compiz on and off (or off and on...) [13:33] soundray: ATI Technologies Inc M76 [Radeon Mobility HD 2600 Series] [13:33] fde : I had that problem before with kubuntu...and I cannot open mythtv...It's searching for some servers [13:33] the latter is from lspci [13:33] pogay: alright cool... how you even got that installed then is beyond me [13:33] plouffe: are you using the ATI proprietary driver? You can install it via System-Administration-Hardware Drivers [13:33] lunaris: read the docs :/ your machine is the server [13:33] fde: thanks al lot! [13:34] fde : is there any command for turning compiz off? [13:34] does anyone know where I might find package for VegaStrike 0.5? [13:34] fde : because there is no that option here ... compiz are in advanced settings manager [13:34] soundray: it says ATI accelerated graphics driver not in use. So I should use that? [13:34] lunaris: pkill -9 compiz.bin I think? idk, I don't use it [13:34] Vegombrei, google has a ubuntu repository [13:34] heya [13:34] plouffe: yes (unless you have reservations about using software that isn't free/open source) [13:34] lunaris: visual effects > none [13:35] fuck you^ [13:35] skype for 64 bit processor? [13:35] fde, never kill -9 # that's almost never ever necessary [13:35] soundray: Thanks and no in this case I don't [13:35] lunaris, metacity --replace should do [13:35] plouffe: after that it's easiest to log out or reboot, then you can test your games again [13:35] unop: Umm, it's frequently necessary... === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [13:35] unop, sometimes it is ;) [13:35] unop, not in this case though [13:36] soundray: Thx a lot. Doing it now. [13:36] fde, kane77 if ever you find it necessary to use kill -9 ## replace the binary that is acting up, it wasn't written well [13:36] unop: Unless you like things respawning all over the place I suppose. [13:36] fde, use the appropriate signal. SIGHUP to stop that [13:37] fde. unfortunatly in 7.10 grub2 is uncomplete, grub-emu is missing, and doku. But I' won't play again with my running system [13:37] unop: I'm not recompiling a functional app because it won't die cleanly 100% of the time :/ === VERA_AN is now known as co_futsal [13:37] unop: kill -HUP is rarely enough :/ [13:37] kane77 : where should I type metacity --replace? [13:37] unop: I never understand this issue... been using linux for 10 years... -9 has NEVER caused an issue. [13:38] meta [13:38] lunaris, terminal, or even better press alt+f2 and type it there.. [13:38] fde, kill -9 does worse, it doesn't let the process's children know it is going down, all open file descriptors are uncleaned, the process may be in the middle of a system call and you have just left something hanging -- it's not pretty [13:39] unop: Ok... but compiz.bin has no children generally... you shouldn't assume people are randomly blurting things out ;) [13:39] hello [13:39] kane77 : Failed to execute child process "metacity" (No such file or directory) [13:39] unop: I thought if a parent prcess is killed, automatically children too [13:39] fde, no -- please. kill -9 was totally unwarranted there [13:40] pogay, not with a SIGKILL, no [13:40] unop: ok, thanks for info [13:40] unop: As I said, I've argued with compiz enough to not bother with a regular kill... it always respawns! [13:40] i have a question about nice values being automatically set to certain processes... [13:40] kane77 any idea? [13:41] malpheus: go on [13:41] does anyone have the problem of file roller hogging their cpu time? [13:42] rar is started as uninterruptable, and i have to always manually lower its priority [13:42] kane77 : I have done that in alt+F2 and checked run in terminal mode [13:42] soundray: i added medibuntu to my repository successfully .. now all i do is apt get google earth ? [13:42] lunaris, what window manager are you using? [13:42] Vegombrei: the package name is different -- googleearth I think [13:43] Vegombrei: confirmed -- all one word [13:43] i wanted to find a way to have rar be called by default as non-interruptable by file roller [13:43] Is there a way to perform something through sudo through gnome's gui or is sudo limited to the terminal only? [13:43] soundray: ok lemme try [13:43] Vegombrei: 'sudo apt-get install googleearth' [13:43] its hard to do anything when a couple of things are extracting... [13:43] XTron: it is not recommended, use gksudo instead [13:44] anyone have any idea what im talking about? [13:44] soundray: its downloading .. its like 68 mb so i guess its gonna be a while [13:44] bout bananas? [13:44] Hey people :) Im having some problems with connecting my phone =/ Ehm, when i copy music to it, i cant find it on my phone :S Help ? [13:44] noo [13:44] :~( [13:44] malpheus: I think you'd have to change fileroller's source to influence that behaviour. How about extracting your rar files on the commandline instead? [13:45] malpheus: I mainly stick to tar's and gzip... they are usually extracted almost immediately, although I dont' deal with large archives really. [13:45] kane77 : I have done that in alt+F2 and checked otpion run in terminal mode [13:45] XTron, there is gksudo which should be using for running gui apps as root [13:45] I've just updated my kernel and my machine doesn't boot with the new kernel is there a way to revert back to the old kernel? [13:45] malpheus: What version of rar do you have? [13:45] fde: so there isn't any way I can get gnome to prompt for the sudo password to perform an operation if my regular user doesn't have the permissions? [13:45] if i add a different repository do i have to do something extra so the system wont crash? [13:45] sorry :) don't cry you make me feel sad [13:45] map7: It won't have deleted... just hit esc when prompted at startup [13:45] map7: select the old kernel from the grub menu at boot. You may have to hit Esc to see the grub menu [13:46] XTron: uhh... that is the point of gksudo [13:46] soundray, fde: i guess i have to change the fileroller's source for it work properly as a multi-tasking app... they should make it more configurable [13:46] malpheus: What version of rar is installed? [13:46] yeah i've done the ESC and booted on the old kernel but should I just edit my menu.lst or remove the new kernel? [13:46] map7: You can, or change the default value [13:46] fde: RAR 3.71 Copyright (c) 1993-2007 Alexander Roshal 20 Sep 2007 [13:47] malpheus: I'm merely speculating. I haven't used fileroller, it's entirely possible that I'm wrong and that it is configurable [13:47] fde : what do I need for database configuration on myth? [13:47] malpheus: if not, feel free to file a wishlist bug [13:47] I have a mirror installation (on my not with grub legacy bootable USB-Disk). How is it possible to chroot an open X-Terms? [13:47] Anyone that connect there phone to their computer under ubuntu ? Need hel with file-transfering. [13:47] fde: right. i'm looking for something that is entirely GUI driven, which gksudo doesn't really provide [13:47] malpheus: unrar or unrar-free ? [13:47] vya blueetooth ? [13:48] XTron: how doesn't it? [13:48] fde: i prefer the official rar archiver [13:48] can anyone suggest a bootmanger for a USB-Drive, with several partitons? [13:48] Sansen_, No, via SEcable. [13:48] Sansen_: I thought he meant by acoustic coupling [13:48] fde: actually i even prefer winrar, i use it through wine [13:48] oops [13:48] fde: its better for broken archives anyway [13:48] malpheus: Then you should talk to the people that wrote it. [13:49] fde: i have the same problem with zip through file roller [13:49] fract^wizz: you have one of these acoustic modems, which you connect to a regular telephone receiver? [13:49] fde : what do I need for database configuration on myth? [13:49] fde: to clarify, tell me how you access gksudo. probably alt+f2 and then type in gksudo right? [13:49] lunaris: it should have installed everything it needs. [13:50] fde: thats from what i last remember tho, maybe it is just a rar thing [13:50] XTron: yes... or via terminal, however you'd like [13:50] hi all [13:50] fde : it's not as I can see [13:50] soundray, What ? :S [13:50] malpheus: I don't use rar files... here file-roller is fast with zip files... [13:50] fde : It's searching for some database or something over the net [13:50] fract^wizz: please rephrase your original question, provide some more detail [13:51] lunaris: try #mythtv [13:51] right, i'm looking for something that allows one of two things: something like a right click > execute through sudo > prompt for password or if the action you're attempting requires su, it simply prompts for password instead of saying permission denied [13:52] soundray, Sorry that i was a bit unclear, i have a SE K750 and i have major problems with file-transfers, when i copy music to it, its like it isnt there, i cant see it on the phone. [13:52] fde: i could fix it by configuring in file roller for it to start rar on a higher nice value, but its not possible from what i can see... i was thinking there could be some type of gnome solution through the process manager or something to auto set rar to a high nice value? [13:52] fract^wizz, make sure you unmount it before you unplug it.. [13:53] malpheus: My suggestion is "avoid rar files" ... other than that, you'll need to talk to someone else. [13:53] kane77, I do, it wont work anyway =/ [13:53] i havent seen anything yet for linux which auto changes nice values by monitoring active processes [13:53] fract^wizz: oh, it's a mobile phone. Does it show up as a mass storage device? [13:53] fract^wizz, well that is strange.. I have SE k530i and it works well.. [13:54] malpheus: just to confirm, you have 'rar' and 'unrar' installed? from the ubuntu archive? if not, try the ubuntu versions of these packages... hard to argue that you prefer something that causes such issues. [13:54] malpheus, I wrote myself a script for that.. [13:54] soundray, Yes it is, it shows up as "PHONE CARD" [13:54] any help [13:54] kane77, Okay, hmm, i must be doing something wrong =/ [13:54] new-at-ubuntu: ask the question if you'd like help [13:54] fract^wizz: is that an SD card or similar that's slotted into the mobile phone? [13:55] kane77: do you have a link to your script? [13:55] malpheus, you could write a nautilus script that puts your rar file through rar at a lower nice value [13:55] malpheus: just change the execution command to 'gksudo whatever-app' ... [13:55] fde: yes i will experiment with a different unrar [13:55] soundray, Yeah, exactly :) [13:55] malpheus: sorry, that was intended for XTron [13:56] malpheus, well I guess it wont do you any good.. it's very limited so far (I hardcoded all the stuff in there..) [13:56] unop: yeah i got nautilus-actions today, might give that a go if it comes down to it [13:56] fract^wizz: and that card isn't set to be read-only by any chance? Some of them have a tiny slider switch that effects that behaviour [13:56] kane77: no problem kane :) [13:57] thanks for the help guys [13:57] mythtv channel is dead:) [13:57] hey on another topic, i was thinking about an idea lately [13:57] soundray, Nope, its not read-only, you can write the file to the phone, and its there, bu then when you look on the phone and try to find the file, you cant find it :S Its like its gone. [13:58] fract^wizz: when you reconnect to the computer, is it still there? [13:58] is there anything currently available which you can develop gnome apps with which can have their gui's edited and actions changed? [13:58] hm, i wil check :) [13:58] soundray, I will check that, wait one sec [13:58] it would be a nice type of platform for apps, it would make everything so much more open, but i dunno im kinda dreaming haha [13:59] malpheus, zenity perhaps [13:59] hi is there a way to download google earth data ? [13:59] malpheus: a bit offtopic as well. #ubuntu-devel ? [13:59] malpheus, you mean changing the actions of existing apps? [13:59] How do I get back to a program which I used ctrl+z on? [14:00] Vegombrei: googleearth downloads its data automatically [14:00] Vegombrei, google earth does a pretty good job of it [14:00] sharperguy: with fg [14:00] sharperguy, fg [14:00] soundray: yeah, i should talk about it in that chan [14:00] sharperguy: (short for foreground) [14:00] thanks [14:00] soundray, was is fg? [14:01] hello.. I donwloaded the last ubuntu cd from the official website, some hours ago, and I try to install nvidia... restricted drivers manager isnt ANYWHERE... any help please? [14:01] what* [14:01] Vegombrei: do you mean store for offline use? [14:01] kane77: yeah thats what i mean [14:01] hiptobecubic: a shell built-in that brings a backgrounded program to the foreground [14:01] null_byte: 'gksudo jockey-gtk' [14:02] ok wait soundray [14:02] do you think it's ok to use debian packages for vegastrike? I need it badly and I don't feel like compiling :D [14:02] soundray, oh wow, you can... sort of stack terminals? i've been using tabs this whole time === konkel is now known as E|Tomas- [14:02] what the... soundray it tells me No proprietary drivers are in use. [14:02] what the hell? [14:03] soundray, Now it suddenly works ! :) Thanks for your help! [14:03] null_byte: no swearing please [14:03] !OHMY [14:03] hello [14:03] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [14:03] okay sorry [14:03] i have trouble with using Ubuntu together with GIT [14:03] GIT terrible slow [14:03] how can i fix this? [14:03] unop: i looked at zenity, maybe i should be looking at something like python gui controls [14:04] soundray: yes [14:05] null_byte: have you got Proprietary Drivers... ticked in System-Administration-Software Sources ? [14:05] at work on our windows boxes i can connect to another pc\shared with \\pcname\path - can i do this in ubuntu? [14:05] soundray, i clicked there... now what to do there? [14:05] Vegombrei: I don't think googleearth is designed to be used offline [14:05] what's the shortest example of a neverending loop in bash? something like while 1; do echo blah; done [14:05] is there a link to install mythtv on hardy? [14:06] !mythtv [14:06] MythTV is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV [14:06] null_byte: close the dialog, let it reload the package sources list, then restart gksudo jockey-gtk [14:06] gotta love the bot [14:06] yep [14:06] ok w8 [14:06] hiptobecubic, while true ... [14:06] unop, thanks [14:06] no hardy instructions on that page [14:07] same :| [14:07] eross: use the gutsy instructions, it'll be fine [14:07] i have nvidia gt 7300 [14:08] how are there still no hardy instructions? hasn't it been a few months already [14:08] f1 [14:10] hiptobecubic: well, no one's written them. Feel free to volunteer -- it's a community-supported package [14:11] soundray, if i knew anything about it i'd be happy to :) [14:11] soundray: i must mention is installed on VirtualBox from Sun. could it be something else? [14:12] null_byte: arrgh [14:12] ? [14:12] null_byte: VirtualBox doesn't pass graphics hardware to guest OSs. [14:12] omfg.. [14:12] what emulator does it? [14:12] null_byte: I told you not to swear in this channel [14:12] sorry [14:13] soundray: anything else except vmware? [14:13] null_byte: that's the second time you're 'sorry' [14:13] wont happen [14:13] i promise [14:13] Hi, I installed ubuntu hardy using debootstrap, but now I'm unable to find the alsa modules, anyone know what package those are in? [14:13] !virtualization | null_byte [14:13] null_byte: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !kvm is the preferred approach in Ubuntu. See also !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [14:13] !kvm [14:13] kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [14:13] null_byte: none of them support graphics acceleration particularly well [14:14] soundray: i have a windows xp box :| i want to emulate ubuntu [14:14] lol [14:14] null_byte: ?? [14:14] greetings whats the file where i set my language in called? [14:14] null_byte: sounds like cygwin? [14:15] but i dont want cygwin... [14:15] null_byte: that's fine, but you can't have graphics acceleration (beyond what vmware is capable of) [14:15] oh ok [14:15] I need to change my default route - How do I do that? [14:15] route del default ; route add default eth0 ? [14:15] null_byte, well what is stopping you? [14:15] null_byte: you can install it within xp [14:15] smellynoser: gateway in /etc/network/interfaces [14:15] i know, but i like ubuntu the best [14:15] firsm: Thankyou [14:15] why don't you just dual boot? [14:15] null_byte: then have it, lol [14:15] null_byte: dualboot then [14:15] ok..thanks all [14:16] null_byte: haha [14:16] smellynoser: if you want it to do with route then it's, route del -net default gw 192.... && route add -net default gw 192.168.5.5 [14:17] firsm: I still keep getting: "No route to host" type messages [14:18] smellynoser: what host are you trying to reach? [14:18] firsm: ftp.heanet.ie [14:18] firsm: It's a VPN server, and when I connect my client the logs of the VPN server say: "no route to host" [14:19] smellynoser: so the vpn server doesn't know how to route to your machine at home? [14:19] firsm: Or ftp.heanet.ie, yes [14:19] firsm: It gets the correct IP for ftp.heanet.ie, but just doesn't know how to connect to it I believe [14:20] smellynoser: then it'd say connection refused or something like that [14:21] firsm: My route list has two default routes now that I restarted networking [14:22] smellynoser: be careful chaning routes on that sever :-) [14:22] smellynoser: Two default gateways is usually trouble. [14:22] you can set a single route to that server too [14:22] firsm: It's a virtual machine, so if I mess up the networking I can still get in (luckily) :D [14:22] do you have more than one network device? If so, then two default gateways is normal. [14:23] route add -host ip(ftp.hae...) gw 192.168.x.x [14:23] I have 5(or 4) network interfaces, and 2 network devices I believe [14:23] smellynoser: Could you write up your network config/design and pastebin it? [14:23] smellynoser: how many actual network interfaces, not virtual ones for your VMs. [14:23] Does anyone know anything about input delay in some games? here's my post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=870822 [14:24] eth4 for internal network, eth5 for external network, lo and tap0 (which hasn't been given an ip) and I'm supposed to have br0 to connect to the VM server [14:24] how do i find out what type of tv card I have? [14:24] lspci? lsusb? [14:24] dmesg | grep tv -i ? [14:24] eross: look at the box. [14:25] smellynoser: bridge setups are always a little complex, make sure the network interface br0 is bridged to (ethx) doesn't have an ip at all. Instead, give that ip to the bridge [14:25] it's a hp media center xp [14:25] m7640n [14:25] eross: Many ways. Google it, check manufacturer website, boot a linux live-cd and lspci. [14:25] smellynoser: however, just logging into the vpn server should work without a bridge - so, can you reach your home host from inside your vpn VM? [14:26] 03:09.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC16 (CX23416) MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01) [14:26] ? [14:26] eross: Or even open the case and look at the card. [14:26] or look on the internet for your computer model [14:27] firsm: I can't ping my domain, so the ftp.heanet.ie IP is probably cached locally? [14:28] eross: That card is probably supported by the ivtv driver. [14:28] smellynoser: mmh, you're confusing me. :-) Can you reach the host you are trying to connect to the vpn server from the vpn server? [14:28] Now I've lost connection lol [14:28] Hello. Can someone please tell me, on which channel can I ask about gaming in ubuntu? [14:28] ssh timeout, haha :p [14:29] zendo: My guess is #ubuntu-gaming [14:29] somebody i need serious help this is an emergency [14:29] !helpme | Mr_Bad_News [14:29] Mr_Bad_News: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [14:29] i updated my system and now i cant boot [14:29] firsm: No I can't :( I can't ping my machine, or ssh [14:29] im on the live cd [14:29] hi [14:29] eross: My guess is that it is a hauppauge pvr150 or 500. [14:30] smellynoser: I guess you neet to fix the routing on your vpn server then [14:30] smellynoser: tracepath from the vpn to your client. [14:30] some apps won't work if pulseaudio is running, some won't work if pulseaudio is NOT running, and some apps won't work if another app is using pulseaudio. Is there a solution to this, and what is the proper way to stop and restart pulseaudio as a workaround? [14:30] ssh: connect to host 192.168.100.143 port 22: Connection timed out <-- I've broke internal networking now lol :) Networking is fun :) [14:30] plouffe: what apps? [14:30] ekiga, flash plugin flight gear for example [14:30] can someone who is really experienced help me [14:30] smellynoser: just means your default gateway for that network is not set correctly. [14:31] ekiga will not open audio if pulseaudio is running [14:31] plouffe: My workaround was to remove pulseaudio completely and and tell all the apps to use alsa [14:31] plouffe: what firsm said [14:31] smellynoser: just restart that vm :-) [14:31] my x login screen is way too big so that I cannot see the options when logging in, after i log in resolution is fine [14:31] How do I do that? It looks as if flight gear won't run without pulseaudio running as it is. [14:31] i updated my sytem and at the boot i had four options generic 15 and generic 14 and neither would let me they just said no image available [14:31] how do i change it? [14:32] Mr_Bad_News: how much free space do you have on your disk? [14:32] idk i think like 40gigs [14:32] Mr_Bad_News: you are on livecd right now? [14:32] firsm: fyrestrtr how did you disable pulseaudio? Is there a guide? [14:32] yes [14:33] does anyone here know about IBM db2? [14:33] big-g: what about it? [14:33] its like my screen changes resolution when the x login screen comes up [14:33] plouffe: I just removed it using apt-get. flightgears uses openal - see http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php?title=Linux_software_audio_mixing_with_FlightGear [14:33] Mr_Bad_News: do you know how to chroot? [14:33] last night i updated linux-init.generic.2.15 or whats it called and now i have nothing [14:33] and then back to normal when i login [14:33] fyrestrtr: do you know about hadr? [14:33] no fyrestrtr [14:33] !pulseaudio > plouffe [14:33] to both [14:33] plouffe, please see my private message [14:33] firsm thanks [14:34] big-g: not much. [14:34] sudo mv /usr/share/pixmaps/{mupen64_ico.png,mupen64plus.png} what's wrong with that syntax? [14:34] big-g: apart from what it is and what's involved in configuring it. [14:34] firsm you said you told all applications to use alsa. Is there an easy way to do this? [14:35] what do i do fyrestrtr [14:35] fyrestrtr: i rebooted some databases and disconnected the hadr. but i forgot to stop the hadr. i did do a db2stop command so i'm hopeing that would stop hadr. what do you think? [14:36] <|Adrian|> buenas [14:36] plouffe: probably not because apps don't use the same libraries (openal) for example, so you have to tell it to each app individually [14:36] firsm thanks [14:36] big-g: afaik, you need to issue the stop command for hadr. [14:36] Mr_Bad_News: okay open a terminal. [14:36] hi there :) i'm trying to delete a panel but for some reason 'delete this panel' is greyed out - any ideas why this is? [14:36] k [14:37] Mr_Bad_News: do you know what disk your main system is on? [14:37] fyrestrtr: wow... when i brought the databases back up i manually started the hadr command with no problems. do you think there could be anything wrong? [14:37] Lusule: no clue. [14:37] its a laptop theres only one hd0 fyrestrtr [14:37] Why is doom3 running very slow on my machine (amd 3000+, 2 GB ram, nvidia 128 mb...) with ubuntu 8.04? [14:37] fyrestrtr, >< is there another way to delete it than right clicking and choosing 'delete this panel'? [14:38] do u need a virus scanner running in ubuntu [14:38] as for chrooting im not certain on the syntax but i kknow i can mount my harddrive [14:38] big-g: not sure -- I don't think so. [14:38] fyrestrtr, i think i've closed it without doing major harm through sessions [14:38] Mr_Bad_News: okay, type fdisk -l /dev/sda and tell me what you see ( do not copy and paste it here ) [14:39] its hda fyrestrtr [14:39] i think it get screwed up when i tried to run the nvidia driver, but i went back to nv [14:39] Lusule: well, I haven't tried this -- but you should be able to get rid of it by editing the configuration file. [14:39] can anyone tell me how to remove items from the Debian menu? [14:39] good morning [14:39] fyrestrtr: it wouldn't be possible that there would be 2 instances of hadr running at the same time do you? i did a db2 snapshot and everything seemed to look ok. [14:39] /dev/hda1 * 1 9399 75497436 83 Linux [14:39] /dev/hda1 * 1 9399 75497436 83 Linux [14:39] i have to manually edit something i think [14:39] rickx we can tell you how to remove items from the gnome menu [14:40] thats what i get fyrestrtr [14:40] big-g: no definately not. That much I can tell you from goofing it up on my test db :) [14:40] fyrestrtr: thanx! [14:40] along with /dev/hda2 and hda5 === |Adrian| is now known as |Adrian|Eat [14:40] do u need a virus scanner running in ubuntu [14:40] Mr_Bad_News: is this a dual boot machine?

[14:40] newbe1 no not really depends are you running an email server [14:40] Mr_Bad_News: you have 5 partitions on this machine? [14:40] hda2 is extended /hda5 is swap [14:40] if I select 'none' for what visual effects I want running, is that the same as disabling compiz?

[14:41] snarkster, people are still running it :-) [14:41] thanks [14:41] newbe1 then you dont really need a antivirus package then [14:41] 1 is linux 83 hda2 is extended 5 hda5 is swap 82 [14:41] rickx Im glad to see that.. [14:42] snarkster thanks [14:42] rickx I feel that windowmaker is like a ahrley davidson, to much maintenance [14:42] Mr_Bad_News: okay, now I want you to try this. [14:42] sudo reboot?

[14:58] k [14:58] brb [14:58] that was interesting.. just got a pm about irc idol [14:58] zoozoo... you could hard reset your router [14:58] zoozoo: System > Administration > Network [14:58] zoozoo: click 'Unlock', then click on the DNS tab. [14:59] Or you could be a man and do "sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf" [14:59] fyrestrtr, am there now yea, how do i create a global one? [14:59] zoozoo: the 'easy' way to do it, is to type gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf and just add a line at the top of that file nameserver 4.2.2.2 and then after that nameserver 4.2.2.3, save the file. [15:00] fyrestrtr...thats the easy way!? [15:00] zoozoo: global one? There is only one file -- called /etc/resolv.conf that controls resolvers. [15:00] lol [15:00] unop: thanks, I will look into that too [15:00] hi! [15:00] zoozoo: you could do the 'l33t' thing and edit your DHCP options to automatically add that DNS server before all others that your server sends you ;) [15:00] I'm loving ubuntu, but is there any kind of subsititute for the Vista-style integrated search? I really miss it whilst navigating aroundd [15:00] zoozoo: but that's just for extra cookie points.

[15:02] |dreams| use pidgin [15:02] |Dreams|: check if its a known bug in launchpad, as its related to amsn and not ubuntu specifically. [15:02] zoozoo: no, that's quite normal.

[15:21] sarah_bear: Use the Update Manager, it should ovffer the option to upgrade. [15:21] hmm i've tried most i just dont seem to get anywhere [15:21] SeveredCross, is it very clean? i prefer to just start from scratch [15:21] mr_bad_new1: type this -- mkdir foo && mount -t auto /dev/hda1 foo && chroot foo [15:21] sarah_bear: I would personally nano /etc/apt/sources.list and replace gutsy for hardy, then do apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade but I'm not sure if you're supposed to do that [15:21] user01: It shouldn't really have too much difference. [15:21] mr_bad_new1: then type this: cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak [15:21] i click record in istanbul then it changes to a stop icon, then i click that and nothing happens o.O [15:21] sarah_bear, that works too [15:21] smellynoser: That's actually not recommended, for some reason I can't remember right now. [15:21] SeveredCross, I had several issues upgrading from previous versions [15:22] hi, im using a swapfile on my hardy. When activating the swapfile the hibernatebutton in gnome vanishes.

It has an uninstaller, but it cannot find it? [16:07] mr_bad_news: why cant you back it up? [16:07] Thank you all for your help..hopefully someday when I have learned more I can provide the same help for others [16:07] all of my stuff is on this computer and i have no way of backing it up [16:08] jrolson, np [16:08] i cant connect to my desktop Gillpy [16:08] LiveCD will let you burn if you have two burners....i I think the new one will even let you run from ram so you can use the cdrom... but only if you have over 1024 mb ram [16:08] !clone | mr_bad_news [16:08] mr_bad_news: 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 [16:08] mr_bad_news i have done plenty of backups off LIVECD [16:09] "Unable to locate installation log file: C:|botfUinst.isu [16:09] mr_bad_news: double click the disk in Places > Computer and then you'll be able to access it. [16:09] mr_bad_news : http://psychocats.s465.sureserver.com/ubuntu/backup [16:09] mr_bad_news: so do you now have physical access to your desktop? [16:09] *not [16:09] Does anyone know where there is a schedule of expected kernel releases? I am would like to see approx when kernel 2.6.27 might be released into the ubuntu distro. [16:09] yes Gillpy [16:09] i cant connect to it [16:10] tj83 : http://www.kernel.org/ [16:10] Which by the way, If I go into the wine c: drive I can see the file === BrandonB is now known as BrandonS === |Adrian|Eat is now known as |Adrian| [16:11] zvacet, TY [16:11] tj83 :np [16:13] mr_bad_news: state your problem clearly for me please [16:13] Nevermind [16:13] I got it [16:13] anyone know why if kernel 2.6.26 is the latest stable kernel we are running 2.6.24? [16:14] I thought the uninstall wine software would delete wine [16:14] tj83: things aren't instant [16:14] How do I restart emerald (without restarting X)? All my window borders on my desktop are gone right now. [16:14] levander: emerald --replace [16:14] tj83: Because it needs adaptation work in Ubuntu before a new kernel can be released for all situations. [16:14] hateball: do I need sudo for that? [16:15] levander: Nope [16:15] seems to have worked, thanks [16:15] levander: You do however need to pass a & at the end, so it wont die when you close the terminal [16:16] kindofabuzz, bullgard4 reason i am asking is that supposedly support for my wireless chip-set is to be supported in 2.6.27, cant wait! i suppose updating the kernel would only cause massive system problems huh? [16:16] tj83 : if you don´t have patience to wait for new kernel comes with Ubuntu you can use http://www.ubuntugeek.com/automatically-compile-and-install-the-latest-kernel-using-kernelcheck-in-ubuntu.html [16:16] tj83, yes and offtopic here [16:17] Hi, anyone know how to remove items from the debian menu? [16:17] zvacet, TY again :) [16:17] tj83 : yw [16:17] RickX, debian? [16:17] RickX: Rightclick the Menu and edit it [16:18] RickX : main menu>debian>uncheck item you want>close [16:18] bazhang, Debian [16:19] #debian RickX [16:19] does anyone have a guide or url for totally removing every trace of pulseaudio, and putting alsa in it's place, on hardy ? [16:19] hateball, I can't do that from Windowmaker. If I do it from Gnome, will the changes show in Windowmaker? [16:19] bazhang, The Debian menu is, apparently, very much a part of Ubuntu. [16:20] tj83: If it is true that the new kernel supports your chipset and the old kernel does not, then I would recommend that you try the new kernel. You can probably download it from reliable Debian repositories. You can install this kernel, and Grub will allow you to boot from either the old or the new kernel. There may occur some troubles which need adjustment work. But This is it worth trying if your chipset will be supported. [16:20] RickX, you are asking for debian help in #ubuntu? this is the wrong channel for that [16:20] bazhang, no, I am asking for Ubuntu help in Ubuntu. [16:20] There is a Debian menu in Ubuntu. [16:21] I'm running Hardy 8.04 and one day something happened to firefox. My URL box is always blank even when I'm at a site and my buttons are greyed out except my home button. Any ideas [16:21] RickX: "There is a Debian menu in Ubuntu" Where is it? [16:21] Also I tried a reinstall with no change [16:21] bullgard4, thanks for the advice.. I am going to install a ubuntu test bed.. I dont want to hack up what is working already :) But I do plan to test this out for the benefit of all of the others out there that have the same problem. [16:22] tj83: Great! Give it a try. [16:22] How do I stop the screen flickering that start after suspending?? [16:22] bullgard4 : under apps [16:22] i created a mount point for a share drive that has rwx privs but when i attept to save or create files i get an error "error removing file:input/output error" [16:22] bullgard4, at the moment, I am using Gnome. It is the second item in the main menu, just below Accessories. And it appears becasue I have xdg menu installed. [16:23] RickX : I don´t know about Windowmaker but what I said to you will work under gnome [16:23] RickX: I think Gnome, KDE, whatever use the same desktop files so should work if you do your changes anywhere [16:23] zvacet: My Ubuntu Hardy does not show it (any longer). It used to be there in earlier releases. I believe it has been reshuffled in GNOME so that it is no longer needed. [16:24] can someone give me a hand? [16:24] I've started to uncheck the Debian menu items. I'll let you know it it works shortly. [16:24] bullgard4 : you can install it anytime [16:24] Crewsr3: Ülease put here a specific question. Meta-questions here are deprecated. [16:24] RickX: Not sure if it works just unchecking them, or if you have to remove them [16:24] I really don't understand, though, why apps that aren't installed appear. [16:25] Crewsr3: /s/Ülease/Please [16:25] Anyone get screen flickering after waking up from a suspend? [16:25] hateball, the apps themselves have been removed. [16:25] RickX : just uncheck them [16:25] bullgard4, Thanks for the reply - my I posted my question above [16:26] RickX: I was talking about removing the menu entries, as opposed to unchecking. But just try :) [16:26] unchecking didn't work... [16:26] do i have to install xubuntu-desktop to get xfce? or xfce4? [16:27] I'm running Hardy 8.04 and one day something happened to firefox. My URL box is always blank even when I'm at a site and my buttons are grayed out except my home button. Any ideas Also I tried a reinstall with no change [16:27] pedro :yes === mija-zimbra-work is now known as mija [16:27] zvacet yes to which? [16:27] Crewsr3: You are describing your situation not very precisely. Are you saying that you do not have Internet access? === Yorkshireman is now known as Yorkshireman1990 [16:28] pedro : to xfce [16:28] bullgard4, I do have the ability to type in a URL and get to a website. It even remembers where I have been but when I got to my history it is all blank. Also my short cuts are all blank/gone [16:28] hello everyone! I was hoping i could get some help with my webcam. There is an LED on my laptop which lights up when the webcam is in use. For some reason ubuntu always has it on and its kind of distracting not to mention the fact that my computer is spying on me [16:29] bullgard4, this is only with firefox 3.0 [16:29] pedro : http://www.xubuntu.org/ [16:29] bullgard4, 2.0 works and other browsers work just fine. [16:29] Crewsr3, set to not erase when quitting ff then [16:29] I experience horrible lag with Firefox3 (on 7.10) and often have to kill the program. I never had this issue with FF (7.04). Is this a known issue, does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix? [16:29] wow... i thought it was a simple question. i still havent received an answer.. do i install xubuntu-desktop of xcfe4? [16:30] bazhang, I don't follow [16:30] Crewsr3: bazhang Is just giving you an advise. [16:30] bazhang, where is that setting [16:30] Hardy works great, until the first time I suspend it, then after awaking it the screen flickers under any load. I have compix off. Its a Gateway 310 desktop with 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device. Any one know what to do? [16:30] Is there an app that could change gamepad input into keyboard? so when i press btn1 i get ASCII 'a'. And autorepeat function would be great too [16:30] LapMag: I have had a similar problem; have you updated to the latest Ubuntu and installed all the latest drivers? [16:30] Crewsr3, let me check === AeronTG is now known as AeronTS [16:30] Crewsr3: run FF in safe mode and see if problem is still there [16:30] Yorkshireman1990, yes, I update quite often [16:30] #help [16:31] pedro, i think xubuntu-desktop also installs the usplash stuff etc., xfce4 should be fine, exept it could miss some additional programs [16:31] kindofabuzz, how do I do that in gnome [16:31] Crewsr3, preferences privacy tab settings [16:31] Crewsr3: firefox -safe-mode [16:31] thank you magentar, that was a good explanation. [16:31] how can i get a list of channels by keyword? [16:31] zaggy-nl, detleting the menu items from the Gnome menu didn't change the xdg generated menu in Windowmaker. [16:31] cobber2005: First advise: Do not suspend it any more unless the cause for flicker has been found. Secondly, analyze your dmesg for the suspend error. [16:31] LapMag: Hmmm, well, an update for me sorted that problem. :-/ [16:32] Yorkshireman1990, just a simple apt-get dist-upgrade? [16:32] kindofabuzz, I started it in safemode and it still has the same issues what is odd is that it remembers my passwords and everything [16:32] bullgard4: How do I analyze dmesg? [16:32] LapMag: I am a complete amateur/novice with Ubuntu. All I did was install the prompted updates and after a reboot the light went off. [16:32] kindofabuzz, so when I go to gmail it logs my right in but then I go to history (without closing it) and all the history is blank [16:33] Yorkshireman1990, ah.. lucky you :) [16:33] LapMag: Hardly, I have problems with my graphics card. [16:33] ah, well... I gues I've got to figure out how to get xdg menu to read the Gnome menus. [16:33] did you do what bazhanG suggested? [16:34] I thought that doing a reinstall of FF would fix it but it did not change anything [16:34] Hi There [16:35] hi guys, I have asterisk installed normally, but I'd like to run a 2nd instance of it (isolated most likely over off of /usr/local or /opt/asterisk) ... I'd like to have the same version running as the deb of it I installed. is it possible to reinstall a deb to a different prefix, or make the src deb with a different prefix...or should I just look at building from the .tar.gz? [16:35] Crewsr3: did you try it with a new profile? [16:35] turkubuntu: Hello. [16:35] rbd: use a virtual machine for this. [16:35] kindofabuzz, I have not let me give it a shot [16:35] later, thanks :-) [16:35] Is there anyway I can upgrade to 8.10 without having to reinstall everything? I tried apt-get update then apt-get upgrade but nothing. [16:35] cobber2005: In a GNOME terminal 'dmesg > dmesg.log20080726', then . Then 'gedit dmesg.log20080826' . The dmesg log will appear on your screen. Look after error messages for suspend and resume. (But you'll need advanced computer knowledge to find out the harder cases.) [16:35] Crewsr3: you know how to make a new profile? [16:36] fyrestrtr: yeah normally I would do that, but what if I couldn't in this case? [16:36] Can anyone please help. I upgraded my LTS 6.06 server to 8.4 and since then x server will not start with the error "could not open default font "fixed" Fatal IO eror 104 [16:36] ahorner, ask in #ubuntu+1 about that [16:36] kindofabuzz, do you mean a ubuntu profile or a firefox profile? [16:36] bazhang: thanks [16:36] np [16:37] Crewsr3: FF profile [16:37] rbd: you cannot install the same deb again. [16:37] kindofabuzz, I do not can you tell me where === eric is now known as Guest22697 [16:37] jaguar616: apt-get install xfonts-base [16:37] Crewsr3: open terminal, type firefox -P [16:37] is anyone here any good with sound cards ? im using hardy, and an audigy 1 card (snd-emu10k1) [16:37] Any one try to ap-5200 dvr card on ubuntu server [16:38] Crewsr3: hit new, follow directions [16:38] Ubuntu has XRecord enabled by default?

[16:39] Crewsr3: probably, they can get corrupt, you may wanna visit forums.mozillazine.org to see if you can save that corrupt profile [16:39] the audio thing is way, way, too complicated. alsa, oss, pulseaudio, gstreamer, xine, and a bunch of other things. is there any way to remove all the cruff and just leave one, working, setup ?

My advise: No-paste your dmesg.log20080726 file's content so that knowledgeable people can judge. You may have to do that repeatedly until an expert stumbles over it.

I did "sudo fdisk -l" on my install and it shows /dev/sda1 as linux, /dev/sda2 as Extended and /dev/sda5 as swap. Sounds normal but Extended and swap both have the same start and end reference. What does that mean? [17:06] Scunizi: that's fine, since your swap is in an extended partition. [17:06] zvacet земјаче [17:06] I recently made a dualboot vista / ubuntu 8.04 [17:06] Scunizi: think of it as the swap partiton is inside the exteneded partition.

[17:07] !language | stmartin [17:07] fyrestrtr: Odd-rationale -- On this particular I just used the install default and the entire drive because of it's small size.. Why would the default install choose to create an Extended partition in the first place? [17:07] Scunizi: you got me there, I never use the defaults lol [17:08] bullgard4: I just pasted it, where do I find the paste number? It says, "Ubuntu Pastebin Paste from cobber2005 at Sat, 26 Jul 2008 13:05:59 +0100" and then it shows what I pasted. [17:08] fyrestrtr: puzzling to me too. First time I've used the defaults. [17:08] cobber2005: At the top of that website. Usually just below the headline. [17:09] Hi *. I would like to backup my rood directory. Would something like this work "cp -a * /mnt/tmp" ? [17:09] bullgard4: Oh, I see something in the URL that is probably the paste number. Alright, thanks for your help! [17:09] Scunizi: well. i believe the reason is that you can only have a maximum of 4 partitions on the drive. An extended (or logical partition) is not a "real" partition itself. It can contain partitions inside it. You can put as many partitons as you want inside an extended partiton. [17:10] mrwoody :http://psychocats.s465.sureserver.com/ubuntu/backup [17:11] cobber2005: Yes the format is that of an URL. [17:11] XGas: *pong* [17:11] zvacet: thanks [17:11] Odd-rationale: that's true. My thought is though, for an default install that would typically be used by an uninformed user they wouldn't know anything about partitions and therefore have no future use for an extended partition.. by creating one doesn't it just eat a little extra HD space just in the creation? [17:11] Baughn: Ping [17:11] mrwoody : ;) [17:12] cobber2005: Copy and paste it here in the cannel, adding your flicker finding. [17:12] channel [17:12] bullgard4: Allright, maybe someone will bite, here goes. [17:12] cobber2005: Right. [17:12] Scunizi: i don't think is uses extra space. But you never know if a user ever decides to add more partitions or something... [17:13] If have a flickering problem that occures after waking up from a suspend.

[17:45] One of my servers is hanging at the end of it's boot, so I need a shell before that [17:45] I can login in single user mode so it must be a problem of init scripts or something [17:45] jeeves__, Huh? [17:45] jeeves__, Real weird [17:45] jeeves__, you got nvidia driver working? [17:45] Er, rather, by 'gnome panel crashing' I mean that it literally locks up completely when I try to shut down with any programs open. [17:45] are thre tools in ubuntu to fix dual booting [17:45] linuxguymarshall this is for hardy, if you have an older release it's different [17:45] there* [17:45] nuckrud: Well they are two folders.

[17:48] Hello folks [17:48] linuxguymarshall hm, then you've been bit by a bug nautilus has with trash, it's supposed to get a fix. A sec [17:48] sasuke781: post your /boot/grub/menu.lst file and someone will probably be able to help you [17:48] unimatrix9, apt-cache search cue might help [17:48] Drk_Guy, no one does, and that's what's making it frustrating. [17:49] jeeves__, All the times? === Odd-rationale_ is now known as Odd-rationale [17:49] jeeves__, I mean, have you tried reinstalling?

[17:49] made a dualboot vista / ubuntu 8.04 [17:49] linuxguymarshall a sec, I'm looking for the workaround [17:49] unimatrix9, i know, but maybe there's a program to convert it to iso, like nrg2iso [17:49] Drk_Guy, yes, it was so bad before that I did a full re-install about 32 hours ago [17:49] nickrud:k === ilSignorCarlo is now known as Mr_SpOOn [17:50] Howdy [17:50] lol, so it must be faulty HW [17:50] jeeves__, [17:50] linuxguymarshall when you deleted these dirs, where were they originally, and were you running the file manager as root? [17:50] Drk_Guy, it runs fine under windows [17:50] I've been having problems with Ubuntu literally dying on me when I try to shut it down or logout or reboot with programs open, the Gnome panel locking up completely. And, with Firefox 3 crashing every so often. I kill it, but I can't start it again. What should I do?

[17:52] smellynoser: what is a debug console? [17:52] KleinerHai, The installer asks you for mount-points [17:52] wols: A shell [17:53] do you know the name of one of the files, a fairly unique one in the deleted directories? [17:53] wols, you can open programms with your shell too [17:53] KleinerHai, You have to tell the installer that (for example) /dev/sda is /boot [17:53] Then you see every command the program does or gives in the shell too [17:53] So, I have to re-install everything? [17:53] smellynoser: init=/bin/sh [17:53] thank god we have choice in ubuntu software [17:53] :) [17:54] ActionParsnip: I went to Intel's site and looked up 82845G/GL, and downloaded (and extracted the driver) but I don't seem to know how to install it. I clicked install.sh but and then run, but nothing changed. Do you know what I need to do? [17:54] KleinerHai, afaik, yes, you have to reinstall [17:54] Drk_Guy, this is the second laptop I've had from them. The first one went the way of the Dell laptops, so they replaced it [17:54] jeeves__, XD [17:54] But everything rests on my system? [17:54] cobber2005: you don't need drivers from intel [17:54] cobber2005, you probably need to run it from the command line [17:54] KleinerHai: no need to reinstall IF you know what you are doing [17:54] Drk_Guy, I mean, nothing will be overwritten? [17:54] OK. That did not work. [17:54] cobber2005: i810/intel [17:55] cobber2005 don't use that, the ubuntu kernel/Xorg comes with the right drivers [17:55] cobber2005: http://www.backports.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=675870 [17:55] hmm, i just love google gadgets, but ok thats offtopic [17:55] cobber2005: search for people who installed it and see what they did [17:55] KleinerHai, if you make a back-up of /var/cache/apt/archives and your home, you won't lose anything [17:55] ;) === laura is now known as lauritza [17:55] Drk_Guy: reinstalling is not necessary [17:56] wols, I said, afaik [17:56] Oh!

[18:05] Ayabara: and what is the BIOS clock set to right now? [18:05] wols: kenkku: norway, so GMT+1 [18:05] Ayabara: the most probable problem is that windows likes to have the clock set to local time and ubuntu likes having it set to UTC [18:06] Ayabara: but daylight savings now, right? so it's +2? [18:06] Ayabara: wrong. right now you are GMT+2 [18:06] kenkku: yes [18:06] Ayabara: I don't know what the solution is, but there's your problem [18:06] Ayabara: don't use UTC time for your BIOS. your timezone settings are wrong [18:06] [18:06] tell ubuntu you use localtime in your BIOS [18:06] Ayabara check for UTC=yes in /etc/default/rcS , if it is, change it to no. then you'll have to change your time once in each os === robert__ is now known as Guest59551 [18:06] [18:06] wols, i can see the network but i cannot connect [18:07] whenever i boot to ubuntu, the keyboard doesn't qwork [18:07] bosco: What do you do to try and connect?

[18:20] hello, i have vista installed and now i wanna install ubuntu after vista, when i run live CD in boots me into busyboy, any suggestions? [18:20] there's a public hubs link [18:20] BusyBox? [18:20] wols, which driver version should work? [18:20] busybox* [18:20] ZmAY: make sure you burn correctly... [18:20] had a question for someone [18:21] ZmAY: check the disk integrity... [18:21] Guest59551: well, find a hub or hubs and connect to them [18:21] zerogate: the one in hardy [18:21] i recently installed fluxbox [18:21] and now none of my other desktop environments work [18:21] ok i'll try that thanks [18:21] i have a dual boot laptop. whenever i boot to ubuntu, the keyboard doesn't work. i have to reboot to make it work.what is the cause of the problem [18:21] Sl4y3r: of course they still work [18:21] Address: 00:16:01:9A:D0:45 [18:21] ESSID:"0016019AD044" [18:21] smellynoser, Address: 00:16:01:9A:D0:45 [18:21] ESSID:"0016019AD044" [18:21] bosco: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:21] does this has something with MBR? [18:22] wols im sure they dont [18:22] FloodBot1, ok srry [18:22] enlightment kinda works [18:22] Sl4y3r: what happens when you try to select them from the login session menu? an log in? [18:22] !doesn't work | Sl4y3r [18:22] Sl4y3r: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [18:22] it does nothing [18:22] just goes to a blank screen [18:23] Sl4y3r: by nothing... you mean blank screen? or returns to login screen? [18:23] and i cant alt+f2 to get the terminal or anything [18:23] Sl4y3r: you mean ctrl+alt+f2 ? [18:23] its connected, i clicked find and its just sittin there [18:23] Hello there, I am going mad right now, my WLAN doesn't seems to work properly [18:23] is there a separate channel for 8.10 alpha releases? [18:23] check ~/.xsession-errors and your Xorg.0.log [18:23] Sl4y3r, don't you mean ctrl+alt+f2? [18:23] Sl4y3r: what login manager are you using? [18:23] either or [18:23] neither works [18:24] My back is hurting me so much, because for past two days I am trying to configure WLAN, but it doesn't work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [18:24] how can I do an autologin when ubuntu starts? [18:24] I just want to break my own neck [18:24] un2him: #ubuntu+1 [18:24] marin: if that makes you stop whining in here, do it NOW please [18:25] Ive used istanbul and GTK-RecordMyDesktop, and I still cant find a way to screencap without reducing my computer to 10%. Do these guys who do beryl on youtube have supercomputers? [18:25] vasilisa: proably... ;) [18:25] vasilisa: what videocard? [18:25] vasilisa, lol [18:25] vasilisa: and what CPU? [18:25] komputes: thanks [18:25] wols: Er...hmm, i built this a couple years ago i think, lemme try to remember. Its a RADEON i know [18:26] *goes to tiger direct to find out* [18:26] vasilisa: compared to your radeon, then yes -- they might as well have super computers. [18:26] vasilisa: lspci [18:26] Anyone knows how to make an image of the entire hard drive (not just individual partitions with parted)? So I can just transfer everything from one drive to another? [18:26] ekontsevoy: man dd [18:27] wols: thank you, I'm off to check it out [18:27] ekontsevoy, dd if=/dev/ of=image [18:27] wols: nah, i just got this: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 5657 [18:27] ekontsevoy, of course, you can swap them to write the image to another drive [18:27] vasilisa: update-pciids [18:27] where do i find the session log [18:28] Sl4y3r, session log? [18:28] DRebellion: so dd can be used on files like sda? Not just sda{0,1,2}? [18:28] ekontsevoy, on any files [18:28] for errors when trying to start xfce [18:28] ekontsevoy, everything is a file ;) [18:28] DRebellion: how's that different from cp then? (just curious) [18:28] Sl4y3r, perhaps in /var/log ? [18:28] wols: didnt work, but i found it: DiabloTek Radeon X700 Super / 512MB DDR2 / PCI Express / DVI / VGA / TV-Out / Video Card [18:29] Hello! Can anyone help me to upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy via CD? [18:29] Nick__: edit your sources.list appropriately and update [18:29] wols: and, AMD Athlon 64 4000 SanDiego Core Socket 939 CPU [18:29] ekontsevoy, cp is more of a high-level program (files and directories), whilst dd is low-level (bits and bytes). At least, that's how I think about it. [18:29] I did that, but I couldn't save the file. [18:29] ok so what m i looking for? [18:30] I will commit shit [18:30] XD [18:30] !language | marin [18:30] marin: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [18:30] DRebellion: seems like the file abstraction is broken here: everything is a file, but some files are more files than others :) [18:30] Sorry, But I don't know what to do anymore, I just want it all to finish already [18:31] I am struggling since last night [18:31] What marin? [18:31] so I have an Athlon 64 4000 and a Radeon X700 512 mb... and thats not enough to record my desktop? [18:31] marin: unless you do a proper problem description you won't get it to work or us to help you [18:31] vasilisa, make sure the encoding is done AFTER you captured everything [18:31] My stupid WLAN, my network controller BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI dissapeared again, it is not on iwconfig, I don't know what I did [18:32] Drk_Guy: Already done that [18:32] ekontsevoy, well, technically there are only three types of file: directories, files, and special files. [18:32] I downloaded every possible version, alternate cd, etc... [18:32] I can't think anymore properly [18:32] I wanted to make a nice video of my program :< [18:32] marin, try fedora [18:32] okay I was here a couple of hours ago and I am wondering if a 5GB HD is sufficient memory to install ubuntu [18:33] Miranda, yes [18:33] Miranda, yes, but you won't have enuff space for more software [18:33] aechols: okay, so what is the RAM limitation? [18:33] it is 256 [18:33] just add your tn5250 start command to /etc/rc.local or some other such boot sequence daemon. this is far safer than trying to get a user to automatically log in on a server. [18:33] Wait... maybe its my program c.c... it seems to record everything else fine [18:33] Miranda, I run on 256. It is fine. [18:34] and i believe 1ghz processor [18:34] what means? [18:34] Hi all, can I ask about running a game using WINE? [18:34] Miranda, 5gb is also good if you trim excess fat. [18:34] hey everyone, I'm having nvidia driver issues. I had no problems earlier when I was using the latest nvidia drivers through envyng, but then after a restart, I'm greeted with a blank screen at login. I've tried numerous things, including putting "Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP"" in xorg, as well as trying to use the restricted drivers manager instead of envyng, as well as installing the driver using nvidia's script. I even reinstal [18:34] led ubuntu but the problem still remains. It's been about a day or two since this problem started occuring, and I really don't like using the vesa drivers, so if someone knows how I can fix this, that would be awsome! [18:34] Is there an ubuntu install that doesn't come with gnome? So I can setup my choice of WM [18:34] shing`: the server or OEM install [18:34] DRebellion: okay, but I am booting it up without making changes to my harddrive. Does it take a while to install? [18:34] shing`, well, there's kde and xfce available. [18:34] remu, weird, i had the same problem as you, and envyng solved it [18:34] shing`: there is kubuntu for KDE and xubuntu for XFCE [18:35] Miranda, depends on your computer's speed. [18:35] i don't know if anybody in here is responsible but nice work on the printer drivers in hardy, I just plugged in my hp deskjet and it worked. Thank you so much. [18:35] fyrestrtr: So the server install doesn't come with a wm? [18:35] shing`: nope [18:35] shing`, sudo apt-get install kubuntu dekstop #kde [18:35] shing`, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop #xfce [18:35] fyrestrtr: Is there any other difference? [18:35] Miranda, between 1 hour and 6 hours, I would say as a rough guess [18:36] DRebellion: ok [18:36] remu, did you uninstall apt's nvidia before nvidia's official driver? [18:36] Is there a separate channel for WINE? [18:36] narayan, #winehq [18:36] Miranda: it is a pretty quick install [18:36] aechols, if you have a fast comp === linuxnb_ is now known as linuxnb [18:37] still wondering why using fluxbox would break xfce [18:37] aechols, it took 15 minutes here, with alternate CSD [18:37] just depends on how much RAM you have and processor [18:37] *CD [18:37] Right [18:37] any help would be greatly appreciated [18:37] I use Fedora and Ubuntu [18:37] Sl4y3r, Shared libraries? [18:37] Ubuntu was a much faster install [18:37] aechols, RPM FTL [18:37] sshhh, Drk_Guy :) [18:37] lol [18:38] * Drk_Guy is compiling wine, and can run compiz with no serious performance hit [18:38] xlcfg -g [18:38] XD aechols [18:38] can anyone tell me why my shared NFS folder now is empty when im browsing hte mounted folder in /media? [18:38] I really enjoy Fedora 9 [18:38] Drk_Guy: okay I did the live CD, but after showing the ubuntu logo screen...it's now showing a blank screen. is that normal? [18:38] I really enjoy Ubuntu 8.04 [18:38] !ot | aechols [18:38] Miranda, blank screen? [18:39] Hi, I have a Linux partition already I used for Gentoo. My primary partition is Windows XP. I multiboot via Windows bootloader. Is there an easy way to install Ubuntu on the existing Linux partition and not touch my MBR so I can continue using Windows bootloader to boot Ubuntu? [18:39] Drk_Guy: blank black screen [18:39] Miranda: if you have a slow machine, give it a few [18:39] aechols: ok, how long? [18:39] is the cd drive spinning still? [18:39] I am going to jump, see you later... [18:39] yes [18:39] What speed is the drive? [18:39] aechols: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [18:40] Thanks ubottu [18:40] aechols: mmm dunno it's a 8-10 yo computer [18:40] sudo touch: setting times of `/media/nfs-mybook/': Permission denied <--- wtf? [18:40] ouch [18:40] Weird, Miranda, but, after the boot logo, you just get a blank screen? [18:40] yeah Drk_Guy...hold on let me check [18:40] hey guys, i'm having trouble watching videos on some sites, like break com, it starts with a big play arrow and when i click it, it loads the first 10% and sits there saying buffering, any ideas? [18:40] Drk_Guy: it is probably taking its time to boot [18:41] Miranda: how long has it been on this blank screen [18:41] ? [18:41] aechols, i don't think so, gdm should start and login automatically [18:41] If "man cdrecord" does not exist, how can I type something like "cdrecord --help | less" (displays, but it won't scroll back)? [18:41] Yes [18:41] hi guys [18:41] hey guys, when i launch wine my screen goes all blurry and pixelated/fragmented [18:41] sudo touch: setting times of `/media/nfs-mybook/': Permission denied <--- wtf? I CANT move/create anything in my NFS shared folder, yet I did chmod 755 any ideas? [18:41] joeKr, compiled from src? [18:41] Miranda: do a ctrl+alt+F1 [18:42] Kanel, #winehq [18:42] Drk_Guy: no, regular install [18:42] wols, works now with the 169.12 drivers... [18:42] Miranda: 5 GB is enough for the operating system proper but not enough for much additional software. [18:42] joeKr, Then the DEB was badly installed/badly done [18:42] ok hold on...it's 6.4 GB [18:42] i been looking there but didnt find anything yet [18:42] wols, which commands did you tell me to type in? i forgot (one was lspci and the other one?) [18:43] zerogate: I doN't do envy support. neither does this channel. have a nice day [18:43] joeKr: http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/man/cdrecord-2.0.html [18:43] #winehq [18:43] hi guys [18:43] balls [18:43] and the disc is prob. spinning at 30 to 32 [18:43] packages.ubuntu.com down [18:43] wols, i'm not talking about envy [18:43] Miranda: when you get the ctrl+atl+F1, type gdm and see what happens [18:43] !envyng | wols EnvyNG IS supported, Envy is not [18:43] Drk_Guy: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:43] !envyng | wols -- EnvyNG IS supported, Envy is not [18:43] Drk_Guy: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:44] !envyng | wols [18:44] wols: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [18:44] sudo touch: setting times of `/media/nfs-mybook/': Permission denied <--- wtf? I CANT move/create anything in my NFS shared folder, yet I did chmod 755 any ideas? heres the command I did: "sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.0.169:/shares/internal/PUBLIC /media/nfs-mybook/" <--- but it wont let me create or move anything [18:44] anyone able to help with videos on sites not working, i think flash? [18:44] Drk_Guy: Sorry, this is still a 6.06 [18:44] Drk_Guy: I did NOT say envy-ng, even tho I don't support that either [18:44] Drk_Guy: start learning to read before correcting others, ok? [18:44] Drk_Guy: Oh no it's not, sorry again [18:45] wols, you seem to get aggressive as soon as you get confronted with envy. why is this? [18:45] Drk_Guy: It is an 8.04, my mistake [18:45] lol, sorry wols [18:45] zerogate: it breaks your ubuntu. we cannot support that [18:45] !envy | zerogate [18:45] zerogate: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [18:45] k joe_ [18:45] joeKr, [18:45] zerogate: it was another factoid, changed now [18:45] hi guys, this is my first time using ubuntu, and currently I'm using ubuntu 8.04.1 [18:46] previously I use fedora core 6 [18:46] how can i do to really format and delete ALL from an harddisk? [18:46] rexus: welcome to the easy linux. [18:46] Otacon22: sudo rm -rf / [18:46] thanks [18:46] !danger [18:46] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [18:46] NO Otacon22 [18:46] DONT DO IT [18:46] but I had a strange experience, it is so hard for me to enter to packages.ubuntu.com [18:46] rexus: Welcome to Ubuntu! [18:47] fyrestrtr, PLEASE, don't tell ppl that [18:47] i know what is that -.- [18:47] seems like the site is under a heavy load or something [18:47] wth [18:47] fyrestrtr: TUT-TUT [18:47] oh wait, I forgot about that one :/ [18:47] the fact is that i have created new partitions with cfdisk, but I/O Error on disk persists [18:47] fyrestrtr: #ubuntu-ops, please [18:47] hi. multiple music players are playing songs only around 30 seconds, then switching to the next song. its on a external hard drive. what should i use to check if the hard drive is OK? if i unmount and remount the songs skips at a new spot. [18:48] its not dangerous if you ask me [18:48] Otacon22, Try using GParted [18:48] it only deletes the pwd path [18:48] sure if youre in a sys path its bad [18:48] trackpez: DROP IT [18:48] Drk_Guy, gparted uses same commands of cfdsik [18:48] *cfdisk [18:48] rexus: I had the same experience today. My conclusion was that they are working on the server. Next daya you will have a faster access to packages.ubuntu.com, I believe. [18:49] halooo haloo [18:49] s/daya/days/ [18:49] Otacon22, nope, it uses mkformat [18:49] ow ic .. I thought it was my ISP :) [18:49] Otacon22, err... mkfs [18:49] ada yang bhs indonesia [18:49] ?? [18:49] :S [18:49] Otacon22, I.E. mkfs.ext3, mkfs.ntfs [18:49] Drk_Guy: I did the cntrl. + alt. f1 cmd, and it says "ACPI, no DMI BIOS year" acpi is required to acpi? what does that mean? [18:49] bullgard4, it seems that my ubuntu already equiped with window composite.. where can I find the settings? [18:49] theres a seperate channel to discuss how to format or what? [18:49] hello [18:49] going to hit the sack, 1am here Bangkok, Thailand [18:49] I have kind of a strange problem with ubuntu; I just moved from debian to ubuntu, and made a backup of my home directory beforehand; I copied it back, and when starting gnome, everything looks like the old one, however, there are some visual effects enabled (not compiz! the compiz process isn't running at all) [18:50] Miranda, I think you have BIOS issues, try fixing the hour in your BIOS [18:50] i am using Ubuntu in VMWare only when I am doing GIT commands its incredible slow [18:50] I tried to make a "clean new home-dir" for a different user, everything worked okay there [18:50] Drk_Guy: what's the command? [18:50] chok dee [18:50] rexus: What do you mean by 'window composite'? [18:50] but I don't want to re-configure gnome [18:50] theclaw, /home contains preferences for almost ALL programs [18:50] theclaw, in hidden folders [18:50] bullgard4, I mean, the compiz fushion [18:51] Drk_Guy: yes I'm aware of that, nevertheless it's kinda strange that now gnome/metacity has some strange visual effects which aren't caused by compiz [18:51] Miranda, reboot and smash either Del or F1 [18:51] Drk_Guy: okay what's the command? [18:51] for "smash"? [18:51] sudo touch: setting times of `/media/nfs-mybook/': Permission denied <--- wtf? I CANT move/create anything in my NFS shared folder, yet I did chmod 755 any ideas? heres the command I did: "sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.0.169:/shares/internal/PUBLIC /media/nfs-mybook/" <--- but it wont let me create or move anything [18:51] Miranda, lol, just press it at boot-time [18:51] XD [18:52] clear [18:52] hehehe [18:53] whats the best way to uninstall flash? [18:53] depends how you installed it [18:53] Drk_Guy: it's still loading...should I just wait? [18:53] anyone? [18:53] the "best" way is via apt-get remove [18:53] rexus: (I myself do not use compiz fusion.) [GNOME] Menu System > Settings > Appearance > tab Visual Effects. (But this will give you only a coarse selection.) [18:53] Miranda, no, reboot, and tap F1 or Del keys [18:54] guys... can i join in this room??? [18:54] Miranda, what type of PC is it? [18:54] hey i just installed xchat and im wondering if theres a feature similar one to mIRC's perform on connect where i can type in commands and whenever i connect to a irc server it automatically does it [18:54] wols would it be apt-get remove flash? [18:55] !ubuto nas [18:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuto nas [18:55] bullgard4, thanks for pointing me ... another thing is, is there any other way I can play with the compiz like the settings may be [18:55] rpt, it's on serverlist [18:55] bj_: no. depends on the package you installed [18:55] :/ [18:55] rico: You already joined this chatroom, hehe. === mrtin is now known as koopa2008 [18:55] i have a problem with my wireless device???

[18:56] Miranda, yup, change it to actual time [18:56] Drk_Guy: and that's it? [18:56] HorizonXP, It's Adobe's fault, it uses CPU too much [18:56] Miranda, Maybe [18:57] Tach auch [18:57] Drk_Guy: So i just have to live with it? [18:57] HorizonXP, afaik [18:57] HorizonXP: Adobe's flash player doesn't use hardware acceleration. [18:57] hi guys, is there any other web where i can find nice gnome themes besides gnome-look?

X starts, GDM usually starts, but I get a kernel panic when I go to log in (and there are a bunch of white boxes on the screen). Usually, with an uninterrupted boot, the kernel panic occurs on the nvidia logo after 3/4 of a rotation of the waiting cursor. [19:17] but when I turn it on, my screen turns black (mode can´t be displayed) [19:18] martha, check it [19:18] I went to System->Administratos -> hardware drivers [19:18] # are comments, but move the windows block of text up [19:18] then I recovered, and everything was slow [19:18] i couldnt find anything there [19:18] Drk_Guy: but then I will fuck up the screen [19:18] martha, Then xorg.conf is badly configured [19:18] hi, trying to set my wireless to monitor mode, but sudo iwconfig eth1 mode monitor, doesnt seem to do it...anyone know how?

[19:22] p [19:23] cypherdelic: yep, those are the names [19:23] Riotta: did you try right-clicking the icon -> connection information? [19:23] yes but it's greyed out [19:23] kenkku: I had it in monitor mode 5 hours ago, nothing have changed, no interface changes... only thing I have done it turn of the wireless a few times, and run another distro from a live-cd... [19:24] and really dunno why it should show connection info and stuff in the right click menu [19:24] erlend_: ok, is there any error message? does it say it was unsuccessful?

Everything is working beautifully, except I am having a CPU frequency scaling problem. While most programs will up the CPU freq when they need it, I noticed that the flash game I was playing was running extremely poorly., yet both cores were down to 800mhz. Open installing an additional applet, and forcing the CPU freq to 2 ghz, the game ran beautifully. Why doesn't flash make th [20:38] e frequency scale up? Is it an ubuntu issue or a flash player issue? [20:38] k.. im on 64-bit ubuntu.. question is, is there a reliable way of getting a fully functional 32-bit browser? [20:38] rafael, its a long shot but download flashlibsupport from synaptic/apt [20:38] packages.ubuntu.com seems down to me? what is the reason? [20:38] will al of my emails and settings be transfered in thunderbird i simply paste the .thunderbird folder to the new computer? [20:38] darkside, you must have the older version. I dont have that issue with psp. it does what you are asking. try opening system > pref > pref apps [20:39] <_empemp_> anyone? [20:39] Shujah: i use it already (i think you mean libflashsupport instead) [20:39] crazydan, that's not a cpufreq issue, that's a flash/graphics issue [20:39] anyone nice enough to help me try and get my graphics tablet working?

[21:22] so do i need a new mobo or what [21:22] If it's a relatively new card, you need a new motherboard with a PCIe slot. [21:22] Yeah [21:22] lame [21:23] Anyone experienced with Reconstructor??? [21:23] HooSIER_KiNG|pra, what cpu do you have? [21:23] they don't make agp anymore? [21:23] Welcome to the post-AGP era of progress. [21:23] it just says requires available PCI slot in a windows desktop computer [21:23] hooey, I remember seeing a new accelerated card that was produced for the _old_ PCI slot just recently [21:23] is that plain pci or pcie === mrtin is now known as kompiz [21:23] Good luck finding somewhere to buy it though [21:23] so no more agp? [21:23] No more AGP [21:23] HooSIER_KiNG|pra, what cpu do you have? [21:23] when did that happen? lol [21:23] pcie is replacing agp [21:23] Any card that's on traditional PCI is going to be garbage. [21:23] hi [21:24] anybody able to tell me what the error ata1.00: revalidation failed means? [21:24] and what I can do about it? [21:24] PCIe happened like 2 or 3 years ago, maybe more. [21:24] pentium 4 1.70 GHz [21:24] old [21:24] Yeah get a new computer. [21:24] lol [21:24] oh, i haven't bought any hardware in like 6 years [21:24] i cant afford that [21:24] I have a Pentium 4 2.5ghz from 2002 [21:24] i just want to upgrade [21:24] You can't upgrade. [21:24] HooSIER_KiNG|pra, so putting in a "new" agp card won't be enough to make your games run well [21:24] Way too far behind the curve here. [21:24] mine's only a p4 1.5ghz [21:25] Holy crap guys get some new computers. [21:25] still kickin'! [21:25] why? this works fine [21:25] hooster_king: you dont need to get a new computer, your specs are fine [21:25] i just bought an intel pentium D 3.40GHz dual core 800MHz will it work with my mobo [21:25] I have a Core 2 Duo E600 2.4ghz with 2gigs of DDR2 1066mhz, and an nVidia 8800 GTS. [21:25] what's the command to run a script in the terminal? [21:26] HooSIER_KiNG|pra: I'm not sure what socket a pentium D is. [21:26] Dethlok: an sh? sh blah.sh [21:26] HooSIER_KiNG|pra: What do you want to do with your computer? [21:26] 775? i think [21:26] HooSIER_KiNG|pra: Play modern games? [21:26] urban terror [21:26] yes [21:26] :-) [21:26] hehe [21:26] HooSIER_KiNG|pra, you most probably have socket 478 [21:26] but im saving for a new box [21:26] kindofabuzz: yea its a sh [21:26] so it will not work then [21:26] Hi everybody [21:26] Oh you can probably use an old box since Urban Terror is just Quake 3. [21:26] HooSIER_KiNG|pra, it will not work. [21:27] hooster: your old pc specs are fine [21:27] HooSIER_KiNG|pra: I'm not sure, go find out what socket your mobo and the chip are. [21:27] how often do i have to tell ya [21:27] 478 has the pins on the cpu itself [21:27] and 775 just has contacts right? [21:27] this is #ubuntu not #hardware [21:27] sorry i just needed help [21:27] ill leave [21:27] HooSIER_KiNG|pra, your specs should be fine to play a quake3-like game [21:27] i would help you if i could [21:28] it will but laggggage [21:28] Hi all: I have a lot mp3's and I like a tool to create a folder for each album, so I can admin. my mp3, any ideas? [21:28] i just wanted a dual core with a better graphics card [21:28] for cheap [21:28] Hello, does anyone have experience with Backtrack 3? [21:28] but i guess i should have found out before i bought it [21:29] HooSIER_KiNG|pra, i am sure you can return it [21:29] ebay [21:29] o_O [21:29] how much? [21:29] 97.90 for the cpu [21:29] 30 for the video card [21:30] HooSIER_KiNG|pra, you could buy a fitting mobo and all will be fine [21:30] soul_786, surely backtrack have their own irc channel to deal with such queries? [21:30] ok [21:30] HooSIER_KiNG|pra, how much ram to you have [21:30] ill talk to cpu here and see what they have [21:30] like 512 [21:31] so when you have a new motherboard which can handle your new cpu and graphics card, the ram will be your bottleneck for modern games [21:31] DRebellion: Took me a while to find it so I came here, found it now though. Thanks. [21:31] im going to upgrade to like 2X1gb i have a friend that just upgraded to 2x4gb and he is giving me his old ones [21:31] HooSIER_KiNG|pra, you will most probably need ddr2 - so be careful [21:32] your old rams are ddr [21:32] ok [21:32] what does a AGP vs PCI slot look like [21:33] so i can crack my case open and take a look at the mobo [21:33] yarr [21:33] Wikipedia ma have some images [21:33] HooSIER_KiNG|pra: there is pictures of them online [21:33] yea ill look it up [21:33] ok [21:33] HooSIER_KiNG|pra, your mob hasn#t got a PCIe slot, just one AGP and a few PCI [21:34] so just get a new one [21:34] ok ok ok [21:34] Hi guys [21:34] I have a problem with Ubuntu [21:34] I can merge partitions [21:34] HooSIER_KiNG|pra, your new cpu doesn'T fit anyway [21:34] Sorry [21:34] But I can't merge partitions [21:34] oh yea [21:34] well thanks for all your help [21:34] is there a way to make a program start up using a different link library other than "/lib/ld-linux.so.2" ? [21:35] im going to go see about a new mobo [21:35] krazy-h, what is your problem? [21:35] any suggestions as to what to get [21:35] anyone know how to configure awn?

[21:36] which sould be standard now [21:36] i already bought the cpu [21:36] im not smart [21:36] i thought i got a deal [21:36] lol [21:36] HooSIER_KiNG|pra, you could also look at the chipset but buying a mobo with better chipset will be more expensive7 [21:36] HooSIER_KiNG|pra: just naive :P [21:36] im noob to building comps [21:37] i get this error when i try to commit: http://paste.ubuntu.com/30664/ please help me.

So, how do I fix this? [22:36] I have had problems to show characters correctly. I often get a question mark instead of a special character. Do you know how to fix this problem?

[22:49] i want to kind of get 50gb with windows on it and create a new partition of 50gb, without messing up windows [22:49] hey i've tried to code something with OpenGL (using freeglut) but the window disappear everytime I run the program. Any clue on where I could find information ? [22:49] Sonistar: u want to install linux on that drive and u want to free some space? is that how it is? or u already have linux?

[22:52] why si there a lag on ym net i aint runnign anyhting [22:52] Sonistar: u wudnt be able to get the space like that [22:52] Baby_Shambl3s, im determined to find the exact one so i can sompile it myself [22:52] Baby_Shambl3s: not that way :D i have 5 different ubuntu installs and i love it. this is an old laptop and i just want to have a partition for messing about with different installs [22:52] compile* [22:53] Argh! How do I fix my broken ldconfig? [22:53] Sonistar: if u want to install linux with xp, u have to move all ur dada to a side and make sure there is enough room to install [22:53] Sonistar: then at installation u will get the option of "using free space" and keeping xp [22:53] Sonistar: oh i see that should be easy what are you working with [22:54] kevinO: if it aint broken dont fix it [22:54] Baby_Shambl3s, it is broke :) [22:54] harpreet: yes im familiar with that option, the "easy noob" option. Im just wondering if your able to do it in gparted, as i dont want to have to wait for the install then go back and format the partition [22:55] Baby_Shambl3s: working with? [22:55] Sonistar: unfortunately there is no option in gparted [22:55] Baby_Shambl3s, the calibration is off and the horizontal (x) is reverse [22:56] how do i restore ht epassword of rar file that I forgot? [22:56] you guys think that ubuntu is good to run on a p1-233mmx laptop? [22:56] Sonistar: you said you want to use the extra 50mb/GB space just use Gparted for that [22:56] harpreet: damn, fair enough, ill just install the noob way and then format it [22:57] Baby_Shambl3s: the probelm is making the 50gb of space from a 100gb partition with windows already on it :/ [22:57] kevinO, cant help you there I understood that it was working and you wanted to find out why [22:57] kevinO: konrath? [22:57] Sonistar: thats no a problem just use gparted to look at how much free space you cna use, if not enough boot to windows and delete like crazy than use gparted again [22:58] Question, how do I change the name of my computer? [22:58] mgroman, konrath? [22:58] :) [22:59] Baby_Shambl3s: right, well, 16gb is used out of 100gb, so i think im good :p [22:59] Baby_Shambl3s, nope i need to figure out what driver its using so i can get information on how to configure it or compile it myself with the proper values === fazuka__ is now known as fazuka_ [23:00] Sonistar: see with 16GB you cna do a lot, install puppy, DSL or even small linux [23:00] Y_2_K, open /etc/hostname and change the name. Restart. [23:00] It says permission denied [23:00] kevinO: google is your friend or you could persuade the smart people in #ubuntu-offtopic to help you out :/ [23:01] when i upgrade grub generates the new list but it uses the wrong partition, why? [23:01] hmmmm [23:01] Y_2_K: you need to sudo that [23:01] Grackle: if you modify /etc/hostname you don't have to restart, just do sudo ifdown eth0 ; ifup eth0 [23:01] oh right lol thanks [23:01] Jadewolf, telling him to restart is easier, but yeah. [23:02] I'm putting DSL on an old laptop [23:03] Baby_Shambl3s, ive exhausted google ill just hang in here till a guru stops by :) it would actually be off topic in #ubuntu-offtopic [23:03] anyone use virtualbox with 8.04.1 ?

Oh.. yo can have a crontab entry for @reboot too so it will update after a reboot. [23:27] !users [23:27] Hi! [23:28] operator: what was that about? [23:28] lol [23:28] @reboot would probably be much safer than messing in init.d [23:28] edith: u can only hv secutiry updates installed automatic but others is like will be downloaded and u can select the ones u want and from security point of view its good to do that [23:28] How can i retrieve the number of packages actually installed? [23:28] lol some people just have no class. [23:28] ok what do I do if the screen is still dark? [23:28] zcat[1], init.d is safe [23:28] Operator: whast your arch? [23:28] To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo [23:28] x86 [23:28] InsPYre, x86 [23:28] Drk_Guy: go to adept manager and it will tell u [23:29] miranda: your screen is dark? is it a laptop? === sauvin_ is now known as sauvin [23:29] oh it doesnt seem to be available for x64 [23:29] harpreet, That's for KDE ;) [23:29] Drk_Guy, not really, some of the scripts in init.d will run after other services have already been shut off so you have to know what you're doing. @reboot in crontab would be much safer [23:29] gluer__: desktop [23:29] kevin_: so just to confirm your touchscreen works ok right now? [23:29] Drk_Guy: dpkg -l | grep ii | wc -l [23:29] Thx Flannel [23:30] InsPYre, im 32 bits though [23:30] hello, can someone tell me how to establish/configure wireless? [23:30] miranda: try adding the screen brightness applet to the panel [23:30] kevin_: cause according to elo, their kernel module is called elo_something [23:30] You need a howto to add new users? [23:31] gluer__: no it's not that. [23:31] Umm to add a new users just SYSTEM -> Admin -> Users and Groups [23:31] ZmAY: what version of ubuntu and wat computer and wat card? [23:31] Did an update to gutsy; lost the desktop; modprobe appears to be failing quietly: it won't remove the intel_agp or nvidia drivers when issued as sudo or root... [23:31] ZmAY, if you have a supported card, just click the network icon (two screens overlapping, top right) and pick your AP from the list [23:32] miranda: whats happening? [23:32] 8.04, atheros card, toshiba satellite amd turion64... [23:32] gluer__: it's installing but not showing the progress === Exteris is now known as Exteris^ === Exteris^ is now known as Exteris [23:32] kevin_: looks like it's probably beinghandled by hid/usbhid [23:32] iter yes it does work right now, just the x of the x,y value is swapped. something which is normally configurable through xorg.conf. [23:32] Flannel, Removing grep gives a more precise output [23:32] .. would really like to get modprobe working asap... last night at the office. [23:33] Drk_Guy: No, because that won't be just installed ones [23:33] is there a noob way to install madwifi? [23:33] Drk_Guy: also, it'll include the five header lines [23:33] ZmAy look into your Hardware drivers manager if your wireless card is listed there [23:33] Flannel, Ahh!!, lol [23:33] iter, and the elodriver doesnt work?? or i cant get it to at least [23:33] if you have an almost-supported card, system > administration > hardware drivers, tick the box next to it, and enter your password / reboot when prompted [23:33] winkleer, u can install madwifi through konsole [23:33] Drk_Guy: You might want to modify the grep, if you want to not include only "installed, installed" packages but other statuses as well though. [23:33] iter, the evtouch driver worls, but it sucks bad [23:34] it is, enabled and in use [23:34] worls/works* [23:34] Flannel, Ok, thx [23:34] errr.... sudo apt0get thing? [23:34] apt-get* [23:35] winkleer, no u have to install it manually, u want me to tell u commands? [23:35] kevin_: so your goal is to reverse the up-down orientation on your touchscreen? [23:35] yes please :d [23:35] but if i unplug the cable net doesent work [23:35] ZmAY, In theory (if the driver is installed and enabled) just click the network icon (two screens overlapping, top right) and pick your AP from the list [23:36] ZmAY please refer who u answering/questioning since its hard to locate names [23:36] ZmAY, that's how mine worked after I installed the driver for it [23:36] winkleer: pm me i can tell there if u like [23:36] zcat[1]: in network settings i have only wired connection and point to point... [23:37] iter, the left and right, but essentially that, and the x,y values as well, the mouse is not directly under your touch. take a look at my xorg.xonf and see how the evtouch driver gets setup. http://pastebin.com/m5ab7f923 [23:37] ZmAY, means your network hasn't been seen I think [23:37] zcat[1]: what to do [23:37] miranda: are u installing from the cd, from memory if you select f4 there is safe graphics mode [23:37] iter, i set the touchscreen driver to viod, so it will default to the original driver [23:37] ZmAY, open a terminal and type 'ifconfig' and you should see some network devices listed.. eth0 and lo and hopefully a wlan0 or similar [23:37] gluer__: yes [23:37] miranda: doesnt work? [23:38] zcat[1]: just eth0 and lo [23:38] I am rebooting it again [23:38] ZmAY, oh.. not good. your wifi drivers are not working [23:38] can anyone help me with my mouse? [23:38] rather === NewUser is now known as alpha232 [23:38] can anyone help me with virtualbox.. #vbox doesnt seem to be very helpful [23:38] when i issue sudo modprobe -r intel-agp , then intel-agp.ko is supposed to drop from the list modprobe -l | grep intel generates, right??? [23:39] kevin_: I guess it ignores SwapX and Calibrate? [23:39] gtg anyhow, hopefully someone else can help.. [23:39] !wifi perhaps? [23:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about wifi perhaps? [23:39] !wifi [23:39] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:39] !modprobe [23:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about modprobe [23:39] !broken modprobe [23:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about broken modprobe [23:39] eie: I just setup virtualbox on windows xp as host os [23:40] eie: really nice and clean [23:40] Mornin, havin issues with usb after a reboot, i get the "new device" message but nothing else... it used to detect what the device is. [23:40] for people wanting to install ndiswrapper, there's a new app out, haven't tried it though; http://easylinuxwifi.org/ [23:40] iter: yeah... dunno why am having difficultues with my mouse though [23:40] iter, yeah the evtouch driver basically has the same problem with it being reversed, so swapX takes care of it. calibration is disabled [23:40] iter: backward doesnt work [23:40] eie: did you install the tools? [23:40] kindofabuzz: how much does it cost [23:40] alpha232: umm it's free man [23:41] kindofabuzz: just making sure :D [23:41] alpha232: you're on linux, welcome to freedom brother [23:41] kevin_: so you can swap the x axis? [23:41] iter: yeah [23:41] kindofabuzz: not always, see connexant [23:41] iter: got full resolution too [23:41] eie: I see but one button on your mouse doesn't work [23:41] kindofabuzz, MadWifi's snapshot works better [23:41] iter: very weird [23:41] eie: the backwrds button? [23:42] kindofabuzz, It's the kernel module [23:42] alpha232: all it is a script [23:42] hrrm i think i botched my /etc/network/interfaces bugger [23:42] eie: What mouse type is it? [23:42] iter: though forward works as magnify [23:42] Jadewolf: Wireless Optical Mouse 5000 [23:42] eie: you could probably remap your buttons easily [23:42] Jadewolf: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/productdetails.aspx?pid=052 [23:42] poffffffffffffff [23:42] eie: have you checked your xf86config file to make sure its setup correctly? [23:43] ahh nope just slow === Synco^ is now known as Kucuk [23:43] Jadewolf: iter: i tried few stuff actually from help.ubuntu.com and some suggestions in here to add more options but nothing changed [23:44] le le le le caným [23:44] hoppaaaa [23:44] man linux has got sooo much easier! i remember just like 8 years ago, my first run in with linux, omg, i wanted to punch someone. lol [23:44] cýký cýký cýký [23:44] this is /etc/X11/xorg.conf for mouse http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/30642/ [23:44] iter, with the evtouch driver i can, but the evtouch driver, it is so bad , if you move your finger in a diagonal line the mouse travels in big squares, so it would be like a set of stairs. so its basically un accurate, the driver that comes with hardy is nice and fluid, just like a mouse [23:45] juliaaa, stop [23:45] what? [23:45] le le le caným [23:45] kindofabuzz, lol, thank Ian Murdoch for that [23:45] esmerler hovardasý [23:45] How I can connect to main own server on XChat-gnome [23:45] ?? [23:45] esmersen guzelsýn [23:45] gio_, /server ... [23:45] kevin_: so you want to use the included driver, but you need to swap left and right? [23:46] need help , I would like to have my root theme the same as the user theme I know there is a way to do this through the term but I forgot what to type any help would rock. [23:46] iter, yes [23:46] iter bASICALLY [23:46] lol [23:46] anyone know what would cause modprobe to fail silently? It's really annoying. [23:47] stormzen: are you positive it actually fails? [23:48] crimsun: Well, it doesn't add a driver, and it doesn't remove a driver from modprobe -l, and it doesn't say anything. Would that be classified as a failure? [23:48] stormzen, are you using modprobe -v? [23:48] l3d: why would you be logging in or using anything with root login. Its not safe, thats why ubuntu comes with sudo setup for you [23:48] stormzen: not according to the description you've given. [23:48] stormzen: if you can be more precise, it would help. [23:48] hi [23:49] hi everyone [23:49] non] [23:49] no [23:49] what is a good free dock program for Ubuntu? [23:49] kevin_: did you try swapping the 5 and the 4 in your xorg.conf? [23:49] Quick question: [23:49] l3d: by you not having a root account is one of the best security features of ubuntu, you just threw that out the door [23:49] I would like the theme for synaptic to look like my user theme [23:49] I just upgraded my memory to 2.5 GB [23:49] from 1 GB [23:49] my ram [23:49] l3d: is your user theme a gtk theme? [23:49] kevin_: in ZAxisMapping [23:50] yes [23:50] im trying to compile idesk 0.7.5 and its asking for imlib2 anyone know where I can find this file/library> [23:50] but now I'm only using 475 mg [23:50] and applications are still taking a while to load [23:50] Blaqlight, packages.ubuntu.com can help you out [23:50] Blaqlight: libimlib2-dev [23:50] Blaqlight: apt-cache search imlib2 [23:50] Blaqlight: it's in the repos the -dev package is what you want [23:50] Do I need to manually set the memory? [23:51] Fox_: no, you don't need to manually set anything. More RAM isn't being used for your intended cases. [23:51] crimsun: Ok, I see an entry, intel-agp.ko in the list generated by modprobe -l. I issue sudo modprobe -rv intel-agp. $? returns 0. I issue modprobe -l and intel-agp is still there. Same story with the nvidia drivers. [23:51] Grackle: Didn' know about -v, but it doesn't appear to help. === DK2 is now known as DeadKennedy2880 [23:51] Ok... so is there any way I could take advantage of the extra memory? [23:51] there was something i would type in the terminal to make the root rsn apps themes the same [23:51] stormzen, -v just increases verbosity, it can help when troubleshooting. [23:51] kitche kindofabuzz crimsun Drk_Guy thanks :D === StealthCP_ is now known as StealthCP [23:52] Can someone help with a USB Serial issue? It used to be detected fine, now i only get "usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2" in syslog and no drivers loading [23:52] Fox_: run more apps ;) [23:52] Haha... Ok [23:52] Grackle: Right. But it's very quiet, even with verbosity. [23:52] Thanks crimsun [23:52] Blaqlight, :D [23:52] hýýýý [23:52] ý am lez [23:52] Fox_: seriously, however, Linux caches fairly aggressively, so you'll be taking advantage of more RAM regardless. [23:52] stormzen, $? contains the exit code for a program after it is run. Try your modprobe command and then "echo $?" What does that return? [23:53] hello, I have python-xml installed and I am trying to do "import xml" in python but I get ImportError: No module named dom.minidom. Any help ? [23:53] hello all. what are the recomended apps to convert video file TO dvd. [23:53] stormzen: what are you actually trying to do? prevent a driver from loading in the future? [23:53] stormzen, also, dmesg might give you some useful information [23:53] libimlib2-dev required like 5 other files. funny stuff. [23:53] crimsun: No, manage my drivers.

I'm wondering about how to use IPv6. I have a computer at my university that gets assigned an IPv4 address that's not accessible from outside the university network.

[23:56] Blaqlight: i'm not so sure it was a wasted call [23:56] stormzen: no. As I just mentioned, -l lists modules matching a pattern in the modprobe cache. To list loaded modules, you want lsmod. [23:56] Sorry, if that's unclear, the IPv4 address is 172.28.26.177 - it's not a firewall, just a ...subnet?... address. [23:56] TiredWolf: I know. [23:56] ý [23:56] hmm... refresh the cache?
