[00:00] anyone know about configuring Squid? [00:00] kevin_: ahh I think I found it .. reverse the numbers in minX and maxX (and / or minY maxY) [00:00] kitche, maybe nvidia-glx-new? [00:00] dblick: for now using ivp6 is not advisable . stick to ipv4 [00:00] Operator: what's wrong with it? [00:00] crimsum, I suppose it could be a security measure to not give me an internet accessible address, i just hadn't thought of it that way. [00:01] kindofabuzz, it plays for 2 seconds and then turns gray, the sound carries on for a further 2 seconds then stops [00:01] crimsun* [00:01] Operator: try Flash 10 beta [00:01] dblick: best bet is to tunnel out to a ipv6-ipv4 broker [00:01] my audio card is not listed at alsa-project.org . What is the best way to go from here and can I use alsa at all? I know that I used alsamixer and it did affect my sound. But I keep getting sound problems. I'm confused. [00:01] kitche: (yes, I know that they disappeared) -- xserver-xorg-video-nv is already the newest version. [00:02] dblick: if you still want ipv6 , read: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6 [00:02] dblick: there are a few around (and you get bonus points for joining IRC with a v6 hostmask ;) ) [00:02] kindofabuzz, yeah i was in here originally asking for help how to install it, but someone said it didnt exist and to stop being immature [00:02] winkleer, go to my pm [00:02] Operator: said flash 10 doesn't exist? [00:02] lol [00:02] yup, lemme find quote [00:02] stormzen: I'm pretty sure you're mistaking nv for something else. The only 'nv' I'm aware of is the X driver, not a kernel module.

[00:03] seriously it takes up to 50 seconds to a minute when i click a tab [00:03] sorry, I'm new to Linux and IRC [00:03] everything is lagging [00:03] PriceChild, so, i was asking for help on how to install it, wether or not the final exists is irrelevant [00:04] Dein: do you have a terminal?

[00:04] crimsun: Ack. Did I get that name wrong, too? [00:04] Operator: just download the beta, extract it, then sudo cp /whereverthefolderis/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree [00:04] can i eddit swap space ffrom the terminal? [00:04] Operator: it comes with *very* easy instructions, and a script to automate it [00:04] !squid | arthus: [00:04] arthus:: squid is a caching proxy for the Web. See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SquidGuard See: http://www.squid-cache.org [00:04] arthus, maybe try /join #squid in irc as well [00:05] PriceChild, the script does not worl [00:05] *wotk [00:05] Dein: type ps ax and see if its running. [00:05] kindofabuzz, thanks, i'll try [00:05] Operator: what doesn't work about it? [00:05] Operator: make sure FF is close while doing it though [00:05] Dein: if its not type gnomepanel.

[00:06] Blaqlight: it's on the list [00:06] or.. is there any way to force apt to install a 32 bit app on a 64 bit machine? [00:06] yeah that script asks for the location of FF, not the location of the plugin ubuntu FF looks for the plugin [00:06] now how do i check if its installed? [00:06] Operator: just download the beta, extract it, then sudo cp /whereverthefolderis/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree [00:06] yes Blaqlight but i doont think i put enough space for it [00:06] Operator: about:plugins [00:06] Dein: ok its running. kill its process [00:06] how to get 3d desktop?

[00:06] dein then restart it [00:06] stormzen: right. You're confusing modprobe with xorg.conf. [00:06] sweet it works [00:07] thanks kindofabuzz [00:07] ghouly: check the wifi docs? [00:07] stormzen: nv is an X driver, not a kernel module. [00:07] Dein: killall gnome-panel [00:07] Blaqlight: okay, i'll try now [00:07] Dein: then type gnome-panel [00:07] crimsun: Ok. [00:07] gary4gar, i don't really need wifi, but installing packets for wifi broke my normal ethernet, which shouldn't happen i think [00:08] Blaqlight: nothing happens [00:08] gary4gar: would the client address of "192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0" match "192.168.1.71" ?

When I turn on my computer, the sound workes just fine until I stop using it for maybe 20 mins to an hour. This means that I cant watch videos online, listen to music, watch movies or anything having to do with sound. This dident use to happen but its really anoying now. How do I fix this, anyone? [00:48] Dein: yes they shouldn't interfer, but if you don't use Thunbar any longer, juts remove those [00:49] Dein: thunar is the xfce version of nautilus. ( a file manager) [00:49] glitsj16: well, if i fail repairing this, i'll have to resort to xfce, so if they don't interfere, i would'nt mind keeping them [00:49] Dein: okay, no problem [00:50] Is there anyway i can repair my filesystem? i have installed ubuntu into the ntfs partition, and can't boot into either. chkdsk on windows recovery disk wont fix the issue, booting into vista gives me bsod on boot now, booting into ubuntu gives me issues, i can't even boot. when i use livecd i get unable to mount disk unless i force it, im able to get in if i force the mount [00:50] Hi, when resuming my computer from standby, it seemed to freeze. I restarted it, and grub had an error. If I recall, it was 'error 15'. How do I fix this? or, how do I reinstall grub? I've forgotten which partition it's in...

I've been messing around with aticonfig and other stuff, trying to get my svideo-out to work. I must've screwed something up, because the next time I rebooted, I just get a black screen. When I went into recovery and had it reinitialize my xorg.conf, it worked again, but I'm not using the fglrx drivers anymore. When I switched back to the copy of xorg.conf I had been using before I started messing around, I still get the [01:00] black screen [01:00] Hi, when resuming my computer from standby, it seemed to freeze. I restarted it, and grub had an error. If I recall, it was 'error 15'. How do I fix this? or, how do I reinstall grub? I've forgotten which partition it's in... [01:01] that xorg.conf definitely worked before [01:01] Hey everyone, why is it that whenever I'm trying to go to a URL on firefox, it's redirecting me to wsearch.net?? That looks like the tactics of spyware. :S [01:01] kindofabuzz: qt-toolkit is what kde uses to render winow decorations === mike is now known as Guest3103 [01:01] hhp2k, isnt it your home page? [01:01] Blaqlight: he said gtk-qt [01:01] kindofabuzz: that's what it says there :S [01:01] hhp2k: it is. try another browser and check if it's the same. use links for example [01:02] hhp2k, that would be if you open a new window, never heard of that in linux [01:02] Dein: do you have that package installed ? gtk-qt-engine ? [01:02] chuy_max: No, my homepage is the Welcome to ubuntu thing, for now [01:02] kindofabuzz: yes, gtk-qt is the gnome version of the same engine. [01:02] Gaming4JC: if the computers are relatively modern you should be able to do it with a regular ethernet cable (when you plug them together if the lights on the enternet cards turn on you should be good) [01:02] hhp2k, i imagine it could be your ISP as well [01:02] chuy_max: I type something in the google search at the top, it redirs me to wsearch.net.. I try www.google.com and it redirs me to wsearch.net [01:02] dblick: That's pretty odd. === RandomCake___ is now known as RandomCake [01:03] Is there a way to bypass packages.ubuntu and get to a specific mirror of all packages, so I can download directly? [01:03] hhp2k: did you do what I told you? [01:03] PJ: yes. with apt-get [01:03] PJ: or synaptic [01:03] cool thanks nikosapi. And how would I connect them on the same subnet? I'm kinda new to this type of thing... lol [01:03] PJ, why would you download directly? [01:03] wols: What did you tell me to do? [01:03] PJ: APT is right there to help you [01:03] glitsj16: yes, already at newest version [01:03] hhp2k: read [01:03] can someone please help me with my pastebin request : http://paste.ubuntu.com/30715/ [01:03] I need to move the files to non network'd systems. [01:04] !apt-zip [01:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-zip [01:04] PJ: use apt-zip then [01:04] !offline | pj [01:04] pj: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.byethost14.com/ [01:04] wols: Ah, missed that [01:04] PJ: use apt-get with -d, and then aptonCD [01:04] Anyone here good with gtk-gnutella filters? Or is that out of the scope of this room? [01:04] Gaming4JC: on your ubuntu box you can then assign the card an IP using ifconfig (sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.x up) and on windows configure the network settings so that the IP starts with 192.168.0.x (x is a random number from 1-254) and the netmask should be 255.255.255.0 [01:04] !anyone | Shpook [01:04] Shpook: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [01:05] These are all great options for the long term, however 1) Them being offline is temperary so a long term solution is not needed, and 2) I just need 1 package right now. [01:05] PJ: or apt-zip, yes, which isn't very different from the Synaptic method i think. anyway, just go to packages.ubuntu.com, select any package, select any mirror, and look carefully at the address. you'll find that you can just strip the last parts of the path and go to the full directory listing. [01:05] PJ: yet, using things like the ones suggested to you will ease the task a lot. [01:05] I've just moved a machine from a boxy "standard" monitor to the input on a LCD monitor that has native resolution of 1366x768. However nothing shows on the screen except a blue background and "No signal".. can anyone help me fix the resolution? fglrx is the current driver [01:05] TiredWolf, packages.ubuntu is not responding. [01:05] Dein: can't really tell what's going on actually .. you did activate another theme other than "qt" as your default yes ? [01:05] cool thanks nikosapi, I'll test it out now. :) [01:05] PJ, then hold on a second. [01:05] Not a problem, I just thought I might be off topic. :-) [01:05] glitsj16: yes, as soon as the problem occured [01:05] PJ: http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ [01:06] Shpook: try #gtk-gnutella [01:06] PJ: go into pool/, find what you need. [01:06] Gaming4JC: once you get that done you can ping the other box's IP to see if it works. Good luck ;) [01:06] Hey, I found this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351&highlight=grub to help me.

I am trying to configur my monitors (dual display) and I've followed numeruos guides with no luck. I just recently updated Ubuntu after a ~5 month hiatus. Has anything changed in the dual screen front? [01:45] <Blaqlight> it should be on the extract dialog [01:45] <Mecha25> truebosko: depends, what graphics card do you have? [01:45] <truebosko> an amd [01:45] <MaR> mecha25: ok, i keep searching [01:45] <Blaqlight> sorry mbrigdan : it should be on the extract dialog [01:45] <tabber> Flannel: thank you. true, so it doesn't matter it the last command runs at 11.58, it doesn't need to be "complete cycle" for it to stop executing right? [01:45] <truebosko> I've noticed more people have trouble with ATI cards [01:46] <mbrigdan> Blaqlight: yup, recreate folders. I think... Thanks [01:46] <truebosko> Sorry, meant to say ATI :) [01:46] <Flannel> tabber: cron starts jobs, after that they're on their own [01:46] <Blaqlight> mbrigdan: thats it. [01:46] <Mecha25> truebosko: good luck. I'm on ATI, I have dual monitors working, but it took me 3 solid weeks and quite literally breaking my xorg.conf to do it [01:46] <truebosko> haha [01:46] <truebosko> :/ [01:46] <Blaqlight> mbrigdan: just for reference was it checked before? [01:46] <truebosko> ...Share your xorg? :p [01:46] <tabber> Flannel: thanks, i hope it works. otherwise my server will go to hell :P [01:47] <truebosko> I have two LCD's, one is bigger then the other (wide screen) .. if atleast for now I could get the resolutions correct (right now the widescreen is kind of wonky) then that'll work until I get dual working [01:47] <abbazabba> silly question guys, i currently can't get onto ubuntu, and i'm trying to back up all my files through the live cd, however it is saying i do not have read permission, is there any way i could get it? [01:47] <SergeantPony> crimsun: take out this? : options snd-hda-intel model=auto [01:47] <mbrigdan> Blaqlight: Well, it was working before, then it stopped, but I didn't change it (I didn't even know the option was there) the default might have changed in an update or something [01:48] <crimsun> SergeantPony: or comment it out, yes. [01:48] <Blaqlight> mbrigdan: was it checked when you saw it just then? yes or no? [01:48] <inavat> obidiah: with the radioshack converter, you still need to cold-reboot right? [01:48] <Mecha25> truebosko: I can give you my xorg, but part of the config is in the Catalyst Control center, and you have to reset the thing every boot. Plus, it only works with one orientation, and with 1280x800 + 1280x1024 resolutions [01:48] <alraune> SergeantPony: rturn from : modprobe -l | grep snd | grep pci [01:49] <Mecha25> truebosko: to be perfectly honest, I'm STILL not sure how I got it working [01:49] <truebosko> Mecha25, ah well then it's probably best you not share and confuse me [01:49] <truebosko> haha [01:49] <truebosko> So you're using which drivers?

Its YOU ! [02:14] <TiredWolf> nickrud: dual monitor, dual factoid [02:14] <nickrud> TiredWolf I might alias that, I think dual implies plural ;) [02:15] <TiredWolf> nickrud: nah, or it'd be called "two monitors". but, alias away :P [02:15] <krazy-h> Can somebody help me please [02:16] <krazy-h> I have a problem with yasr [02:16] <bartek> Does anyone know what repo I need to get BitchX? [02:16] <CheeseGardener> Could someone here give me a hand choosing a power supply for my dual boot system? [02:16] <bartek> everone says "universe" but I have a bunch of universe entries in my sources.list so that makes no sense to me [02:16] <Flannel> bartek: BitchX is abandonware. It isn't in a repo. [02:16] <bartek> Ah [02:16] <Jadewolf> Guys, would ubuntu be a good OS for using to install on a P1-233MMX laptop with 64mb ram a webcam? I'm trying to setup a commandline "security" camera with it. [02:16] <bartek> ok..I need a good irc client then :-) [02:17] <Flannel> bartek: Try irssi [02:17] <RatKingX> try pidgin [02:17] <soldats> bartek: irssi is superior to bitchx [02:17] <soldats> its cli as well [02:17] <bartek> ya I heard good things about irssi [02:17] <TiredWolf> bartek, there are four main repositories: 1) hardy, the main one 2) hardy-updates, bugfixes 3) hardy-security, security fixes [02:17] <soldats> give it a shot you may like it [02:17] <bartek> Oh I see [02:17] <TiredWolf> bartek: then Main, Restricted, Universe and Multiverse are *components* [02:17] <bartek> Components meaning? [02:17] <TiredWolf> bartek: for each component you want enabled, you should have all three repositories [02:17] <TiredWolf> bartek: it means it's a part of a repository [02:18] <bartek> I see [02:18] <CheeseGardener> If anyone could, I need some help choosing a power supply for my dual boot system [02:18] <ludwig> hey all, any body get the gtx260 nvidia card working from any stock repository [02:18] <CheeseGardener> O dpm [02:18] <TiredWolf> bartek: in other words, if you have Universe only enabled in the "hardy" repository, but not in the "hardy-updates" repository, then you won't get bugfixes for Universe packages [02:18] <CheeseGardener> I don't use the GTX 200 series ludwig [02:18] <RatKingX> CheeseGardener: what hardware do you have? [02:18] <bazhang> #hardware CheeseGardener [02:18] <Flannel> CheeseGardener: #ubuntu-offtopic would be the appropriate place [02:18] <CheeseGardener> it is a waste of money [02:18] <CheeseGardener> I use 2 ATI HD 4850s Crossfire [02:18] <TiredWolf> bartek: so as a rule of thumb, you should have every needed component enabled in every repository, and that's why you see Universe in many places [02:18] <miranda> okay this is another question related to the computer that I am working with... [02:19] <enno_> CheeseGardener: http://web.aanet.com.au/SnooP/psucalc.php [02:19] <bartek> Thanks TiredWolf , glad to know what it means now [02:19] <CheeseGardener> Ok, off topic then? [02:19] <miranda> it says that I have 3000MB and that I need 5000MB [02:19] <alraun1> Jadewolf: PI ? not really, a PIII is very cheap at ebay nowadays... | give additional 64 MB, try win 98, lol [02:19] <ludwig> serisouly...anybody get the new nvidia 200 serious cards working with a default ubuntu package [02:20] <bazhang> Jadewolf, that amount of ram really is too minimal unless you want a cli only system [02:20] <ludwig> i've googled till i'm out of ideas on google bait [02:20] <hsandhu> fuddi kidaan maaridi aa? [02:20] <bazhang> hsandhu, english please [02:20] <hsandhu> bazhang: sorry [02:21] <chao1> I am trying to mount a hdd that I guess is about to fail. is there a way to mount it to view a corrupted ext2 partition. (a mess I know) [02:21] <miranda> is there a version of ubuntu where I can install with less memory because I am deleting all of the files to make more memory [02:21] <chao1> miranda try xubuntu [02:21] <soldats> xubuntu [02:21] <Ximal> xubuntu mm iranda [02:21] <miranda> chao1: thanks [02:22] <TiredWolf> chao1, well, i guess mount it read only, for a start... you don't really want to write on it if it's failing [02:22] <chao1> welcome [02:22] <bazhang> miranda, how little ram we talking [02:22] <chao1> how do I do that? [02:22] <miranda> IIRC 64 MB bazhang [02:22] <TiredWolf> chao1: sudo mount /dev/whatever /mnt/whatever -o ro - i believe [02:22] <chao1> I tried reading the man entry but those are still hard to understand [02:22] <Blaqlight> the wine gecko installer won't install gecko, WoW keeps asking for it on load, how can I force it too finish the download? [02:22] <bartek> woah [02:23] <bartek> irssi is interesting :) [02:23] <lnxmad> Hows Ubuntu coming on the ps3? [02:23] <chao1> ok i will try now [02:23] <bazhang> #ubuntu-ps3 [02:23] <miranda> does xubuntu work as well as ubuntu? [02:23] <lnxmad> thanks [02:23] <Blaqlight> bartek: its awesome once you get used to it... < former xchat user [02:24] <bazhang> miranda, 64mb may not do it; fluxbuntu perhaps but even that is a stretch [02:24] <Blaqlight> miranda: prolly a little faster, being as though xfce uses less rescources than gnome. [02:24] <bartek> Blaqlight: oh I bet...I remember loading up VIM for the first time and being very confused. Now I swear by it, this seems like the same thing [02:24] <bazhang> lots of gtk stuff in xubuntu though [02:24] <miranda> bazhang: I am updating from windows 98 [02:24] <Blaqlight> bartek: Im still lost in vim. [02:25] <chao1> this is what it put on screen: http://paste.ubuntu.com/30726/ [02:26] <chao1> ... and its /media/whatever instead of /mnt/whatever for those taking notes (in ubuntu) [02:26] <TiredWolf> chao1: well, actually, it's wherever there is a valid directory :) but yeah, it's supposed to be /media [02:27] <enno_> Blaqlight: get the gecko cab file from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6241&package_id=195269 and extract it using cabextract to .wine/drive_c/Program Files/ [02:27] <chao1> yeah :) [02:27] <TiredWolf> chao1: try forcing ext2 by adding the "-t ext2" option. but if it can't understand it's an ext2 partition... tough luck i'm afraid [02:27] <piratelordx> can anyone help me in pm im tryin to run internet explorer 7 through wine [02:28] <TiredWolf> chao1, what you should do, really, is take an image of that drive into another drive, and then work on the image [02:28] <swamptin> right, stoopid question, and I'm assuming you can, but... a lot of advice I've gotten has been like "<command> && <command>" in relation to installs etc. etc. Can you que up any sort/number/variation of commands in that way and let it run? [02:28] <Blaqlight> enno_: it gets about 1/3rd of the way through and then mysteriously and without warning, dies. [02:28] <bazhang> piratelordx, check #winehq and appdb [02:28] <obidiah> miranda: is your problem a shortage of RAM or a shortage of hard drive space [02:28] <bazhang> !appdb | piratelordx [02:28] <ubottu> piratelordx: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [02:28] <piratelordx> kk [02:28] <soldats> miranda: honestly as much as i hate to say it, you may need a different distro capable of handling little ram that you have. you may be able to try xubuntu with someting even smaller than fluxbox. possibly xubuntu with DWM may work. youll need some time to get DWm to work for you though [02:28] <piratelordx> thankd [02:28] <bazhang> np [02:28] <enno_> Blaqlight: try the cab file, it is the same thing wine does, just manually [02:29] <user1> what are the ways to install a .deb ? i cant install it with gdebi ? [02:29] <TiredWolf> user1: yes you can, if it's an Ubuntu .deb [02:29] <Blaqlight> miranda: 64mb ram is all you have? [02:29] <bazhang> user1, what deb [02:29] <miranda> so d/l xubuntu right...that handles 64MB of ram? [02:29] <tim167> hello, i can't play a DVD movie, i installed libxine, gsreamer plugins and whatnot, but still no luck, can someone help me ? thanks [02:29] <TiredWolf> miranda: still a bit tight i'd say [02:29] <Blaqlight> miranda: you might just consider no gui at all. CLI only is fun. [02:29] <soldats> there really isnt an ubuntu that handles such low ram [02:29] <user1> TiredWolf: bazhang is an ubuntu deb. but its it vanishes in the middle. limewire it is. [02:29] <bazhang> miranda, no [02:29] <TiredWolf> !limewire | user1 [02:29] <ubottu> user1: limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install /msg ubotu java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider /msg ubotu FrostWire as an alternative. [02:29] <soldats> the lowest wanted ram i think is 128 [02:30] <_Zeus_> what is ubotu? [02:30] <_Zeus_> doesn't work here [02:30] <bazhang> a bot [02:30] <soldats> a bot [02:30] <TiredWolf> !bot > _Zeus_ [02:30] <ubottu> _Zeus_, please see my private message [02:30] <obidiah> miranda: xubuntu is your best bet for a real distribution [02:30] <_Zeus_> oh it's ubottu not ubotu [02:31] <_Zeus_> two t;s [02:31] <TiredWolf> currently, yes [02:31] <soldats> its the replacement [02:31] <tim167> what does it take to play a DVD on ubuntu ? [02:31] <obidiah> miranda: xfce is very similar to gnome and runs on older hardware [02:31] <_Zeus_> libdvdcss1? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:31] <miranda> ok it has 64MB [02:31] <bazhang> !dvd | tim167 [02:31] <ubottu> tim167: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [02:31] <_Zeus_> sry libdvdcss2 [02:31] <user1> TiredWolf: sudo dpkg -i LimeWireLinux.deb works [02:31] <bazhang> obidiah, not on 64mb [02:31] <mouser-> tim167: Otherwise you should be able to play unprotected DVDs out of the box. [02:31] <Blaqlight> _Zeus_: libdvdcss2 [02:32] <chao1> it told me to run e2fsck and this is what I got http://paste.ubuntu.com/30727/ [02:32] <fiXXXerMet> I just installed the flash-nonfree plugin from within firefox, but flash still isn't showing (It says "Click here to download the plugin." But when I do so, it says that the plugin is already installed. [02:32] <Sylphid> I have tk8.5 installed to fill the xchat dependancy for tk8.4 but it shows xchat as a broken package without tk8.4 installed ... how can I fix this without installing tk8,4 (it breaks some scripts) [02:32] <soldats> miranda: if you have some time to kill look up some distros that handle low ram possibly arch. i dont want to push you away but ubuntu doesnt really run off 64 [02:32] <_Zeus_> did you restart firefox, fixxxermet? [02:32] <enno_> fiXXXerMet: have you tried to restart firefox? [02:32] <_Zeus_> ninja'd :-D [02:33] <fiXXXerMet> haha [02:33] <fiXXXerMet> Yeah, I did. [02:33] <chao1> TiredWolf: what should I do? [02:33] <fiXXXerMet> Oh, wait - I had another window open on another workspace. [02:33] <fiXXXerMet> There we go! [02:33] <enno_> fiXXXerMet: maybe you should try the flashplugin from the adobe homepage [02:33] <soldats> fiXXXerMet: run firefx and int he address bar type "about:plugins" and see what it says about flash [02:33] <miranda> I am thinking of doing xubuntu b/c it has greater support...second choice [02:33] <TiredWolf> chao1: oh no, don't run fsck (well, too late). the more you write to the drive (and fsck could write a lot), the more you risk that it fails completely [02:34] <chao1> :o [02:34] <chao1> =-O [02:34] <CShadowRun> Weirdest bug report you'll ever read people... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/252228 [02:34] <TiredWolf> chao1, i'd suggest a "dd if=/dev/sdb2 of=partitionimage-or-whatever", i think that should work to create an image - then work on that [02:34] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 252228 in ubuntu "Changing volume changes gnome theme (?)" [Undecided,New] [02:34] <TiredWolf> chao1: if you have the space, of course [02:34] <soldats> miranda: if that doesnt work try arch, arch is a lot more complicated but runs a lot better on low memory systems [02:34] <chao1> how would I work on that? [02:35] <_Zeus_> i would use xubuntu [02:35] <gradin> i'm having troubles mounting a directory [02:35] <TiredWolf> chao1: just as if it were a real partition. almost. you can mount it with the "-o loop" option [02:35] <tim167> how do i install libdvdcss2 ? [02:35] <_Zeus_> you need the medibuntu repos [02:35] <_Zeus_> do you have them? [02:35] <soldats> gradin: explain, maybe we can help [02:35] <gradin> whats the easiest way to mount /home/test to /var/www/test ? [02:35] <TiredWolf> chao1: like, "sudo mount partitionimage /media/blah -o loop", or you could just try "e2fsck -b 8193 partitionimage" [02:35] <gradin> so that an ftp server can read it... [02:36] <mlLK> in aptitude what does 'A' mean where it is displayed between install-status and package name? [02:36] <enno_> gradin: have you tried to use a symlink [02:36] <enno_> gradin: using ln -s [02:36] <_Zeus_> tim167: type /msg ubottu medibuntu [02:37] <Blaqlight> I need to get gnome-settings-daemon running in fluxbox. it tells me ** (gnome-settings-daemon:11093): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to session bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-zUXDjxGpmv: Connection refused [02:37] <gradin> Server sent passive reply with unroutable address.

[02:38] <enno_> gradin: does the ftp server has access to the directory? [02:38] <Johnny> i installed xfce-goodies and gtk-engines* [02:38] <alraun1> bartek:?

[02:42] <CShadowRun> i'll move that one and then reproduce the bug, so in theory you should get a clear log with only the error in it [02:42] <Sylphid> I have tk8.5 installed to fill the xchat dependancy for tk8.4 but it shows xchat as a broken package without tk8.4 installed ... how can I fix this without installing tk8,4 (it breaks some scripts) [02:42] <alraun1> miranda: quicker page setup,...

[02:43] <fde> Twili: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid [02:43] <lucent> miranda: you need lots of swap to cover the higher quantity of ram [02:43] <CShadowRun> _Zeus_ it doesn't appear to add anything new to the log [02:43] <kadu> #ubuntu-br [02:43] <lucent> miranda: 2GiB is plenty of RAM for most desktop users [02:43] <_Zeus_> roger CShadowRun [02:43] <nickelodiun> I need help installing UBUNTU on my new Toshiba A305D [02:43] <_Zeus_> they should be bold if there's anything new [02:43] <fde> nickelodiun: What are you confused about? [02:44] <alraun1> lucent: if its enough ram, you could also decrease swap to a min or disable it [02:44] <CShadowRun> _Zeus_ by that i mean, i renamed Xorg.0.log to Xorg.0.log.back, then span my volume knob around for a while, it didn't create a new log [02:44] <nickelodiun> I try to install, but it crash on the start up [02:44] <lucent> alraun1: no, no, listen to what I'm saying here :P Hibernate uses your swap partition to store the contents of RAM [02:44] <_Zeus_> roger yeah that works [02:44] <lucent> more ram = need bigger swap [02:44] <CShadowRun> ok :) [02:44] <fde> lucent: no [02:44] <cars> Is there an automated way to repair an existing ubuntu installation using the hoary CD? [02:44] <alraun1> nickelodiun: what problem you got ? [02:44] <_Zeus_> hoary? [02:44] <_Zeus_> that's like 2 years old! [02:44] <Blaqlight> I think Im going to use gparted to remove windows from my system permenantly, I haven't used it in 4 months. [02:45] <cars> er, the new one. [02:45] <alraun1> lucent: k, for hibernation [02:45] <_Zeus_> hardy? [02:45] <bartek> time to try and get atleast one display working properly with the correct resolution...somehow I can see myself staying up till 4am [02:45] <cars> Yeah. 4.08 [02:45] <Blaqlight> cars: thats hardy heron [02:45] <fde> cars: install something newer, that is almost 4 years old [02:45] <cars> Getting the animal names mixed up. The newest one that I downloaded a second ago. [02:45] <nickelodiun> this is the error http://mx.geocities.com/zednanreh69/errorubuntu.jpg [02:46] <cxo> hey umm, i tried that netboot thing and its downloading packages from the net, can i point it to the cd i downloaded and kept on an nfs share? [02:46] <fde> Blaqlight: no it's not... hoary was the only release that wasn't 04 or 10 [02:46] <lucent> nickelodiun: Hm, it will be important to drill this down some. Bad CD? Not enough RAM? wrong display mode for your LCD (happens a lot on Dell or LCD displays)? [02:46] <Blaqlight> cars 8.04 LTS? [02:46] <nickelodiun> NOP [02:46] <Flannel> fde: Hoary was, Dapper wasn't. [02:46] <jeeves__> how can I find out why add/remove programs is locking up when I try to install new software? [02:46] <fde> cars: Go grab hardy [02:46] <CShadowRun> nickelodiun lol at the camera, heres a hint. Press the "Print screen" or "Prt Scr" button on your keyboard. It'll save a picture of whats currently on your screen to a file. [02:46] <cars> Blaqlight, yes. The one that was released this yer. [02:46] <nickelodiun> I got 10 NEW CDS FROM CANONICAL, 3GB RAM [02:47] <urbanmonkey> nickelodiun: have you tried the textbased installer? [02:47] <Blaqlight> fde he said he just did. [02:47] <lucent> nickelodiun: could be bad RAM, bad CD, or you just ran out of RAM because you did something else while running the GUI installer.... try installing using the alternate CD [02:47] <chao1> TireWolf: currently running dd. had to get my external hdd. I have the bad hdd in my media tank that i got from thinkgeek.com (everyone should get one) and running it on my laptop. [02:47] <alraun1> nickelodiun: 10 ?? [02:47] <lucent> nickelodiun: are you using a shipit CD? or have you burned your own? [02:47] <nickelodiun> THIS IS NOT MY PICTURE, but seems like a lot of ppl are having the same problem [02:47] <fde> Flannel: ahh... well 4.08 may have even been warty, I forget... that's very old. [02:47] <jeeves__> Blaqlight, any ideas on this add/remove programs thing locking up? I don't think I flushed all the LDAP stuff out [02:47] <nickelodiun> yes, that too [02:47] <nickelodiun> is not the cd, I checked that [02:48] <Flannel> fde: no, 4.10 was Warty, 5.04 was Hoary (5.10 Breezy). 6.06 was Dapper. === gardar is now known as gardar`afk [02:48] <cars> fde, Blaqlight, sorry for the confusion. I'm using the latest release. [02:48] <Blaqlight> jeeves__: sorry but no i don't [02:48] <lucent> nickelodiun: what program do you use to write out your CD? [02:48] <chao1> TiredWolf: /thanks [02:48] <o0splitpaw0o> join #o0splitpaw0o's-show [02:48] <nickelodiun> several, but is not the CD, this cd installs on other laptops [02:48] <fde> cars: anyway... yes... I think it has a repair feature if you boot like you're going to install. [02:49] <Johnny> can someone help me [02:49] <Johnny> i cant get any themes to install [02:49] <lucent> nickelodiun: I am curious though [02:49] <LinkManDX> does Hardy come with a MIDI system preinstalled? [02:49] <fde> Johnny: only if you ask a question. [02:49] <qwm> Johnny: yeah, but you need to find that someone. [02:49] <lucent> LinkManDX: ALSA has the "seq" subsystem which is for MIDI sequencing, yes [02:49] <guido_> I'm getting an error while doing a poweroff ia vbox windows: http://paste.ubuntu.com/30730/ any thoughts? [02:49] <qwm> pray and you will find God too. [02:49] <jeeves__> Blaqlight, when I do a "sudo apt- get install", etc, it says... "sudo: unable to resolve host Pennie2" [02:49] <cars> fde, thanks. I'll try that. [02:49] <nickelodiun> nero, alcohol just to mention some [02:49] <alraun1> nickelodiun: so does this screen apear after first boot , when install has finished ? [02:50] <LinkManDX> lucent: I was wondering because I'm running TuxGuitar and it's throwing an error at me when I try playback [02:50] <derekv> Is compiz known to hang a lot with the ati proprietary drivers, that anyone is aware of? (i know ubuntu can't support these drivers, i'm just wondering if this is a known buggy combination or if it is unique to me) [02:50] <EruditeHermit> does anyone know how to specify which video port xine uses [02:50] <nickelodiun> no, before it trys to install [02:50] <TiredWolf> chao1: well, now keep that drive image safe, and at least you know you won't lose your data, and one way or another you can recover what's left even if the drive fails. i'm heading to bed now though [02:50] <jeeves__> Flannel, any ideas on this questionable issue? [02:50] <lucent> LinkManDX: synthesizing sound based on MIDI events is a different issue though [02:50] <Adantan_Alex> hey [02:50] <Flannel> !hostname | jeeves__ [02:50] <ubottu> jeeves__: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab [02:50] <nickelodiun> I put the cd in, boot to the loader, select to install and I get this [02:50] <ManualOverDozer8> when will flash plugin for mozilla ever get fixed ? or is there one that works ? [02:50] <Blaqlight> jeeves__: perhaps your link location is bad, try another. or open firefox and try google.com to see if your internet connection is working. [02:50] <lucent> LinkManDX: look into some software called "timidity" there are a lot of posts about it on ubuntu forums [02:50] <fde> lucent: most use brasero or k3b ... personally, I just use 'wodim --data file1 file2 file3' [02:51] <Flannel> jeeves__: Thats your problem (hostname issues) [02:51] <chao1> TiredWolf: thanks [02:51] <alraun1> nickelodiun: did you try boot options, e.g. acpi=off ? [02:51] <jeeves__> Blaqlight, it's comming back with pam_auth error [02:51] <chao1> I had been trying to remember how to use the dd command [02:51] <ManualOverDozer8> if someone knows of a flash-plugin for mozzilla that works, please let me know [02:51] <Adantan_Alex> hey guys is there a way i can download the old version of ubuntu? [02:51] * lucent /whois fde [02:51] <chao1> I learned it in my linux class [02:51] <Flannel> Adantan_Alex: which version? [02:51] <Adantan_Alex> the one before 8.04? [02:51] <LinkManDX> lucent: thanks, i'll check that out [02:51] <Blaqlight> jeeves__: listen to Flannel [02:51] <alraun1> cxo: didn't understand your question [02:51] <Flannel> Adantan_Alex: http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/ [02:51] <Adantan_Alex> thats it? ty [02:52] <jeeves__> Flannel, thanks [02:52] <nickelodiun> I was told it was that ubuntu did not recongnized my hard drive\ [02:52] <ManualOverDozer8> the previous was 7.01 i believe [02:52] <fde> chao1: what do you want to know about it? [02:52] <Adantan_Alex> !info [02:52] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about info [02:52] <lucent> nickelodiun: it's possible that your computer uses a chipset not yet supported by the installer [02:52] <fde> ManualOverDozer8: 7.04 [02:52] <ailean> guys, i want to reinstall windows so i can use my iphone. at present i have 2 partitions, both of which are linux. how can i tape over one while keeping my current working linux partition selectable from a menu? [02:52] <nickelodiun> what can I do? [02:53] <alraun1> nickelodiun: can you run ubu as live system ? [02:53] <Blaqlight> omg this wine gecko installer may actually finish downloading the file for the first time. [02:53] <cxo> I'm install ubuntu using a pxe image i found on this site http://wiki.koeln.ccc.de/index.php/Ubuntu_PXE_Install however the installer is downloading packages from the net, which is gonna take ages since my connection is slow, I already have 8.04 disc downloaded and placed on an nfs share, how do i get the installer to use it? [02:53] <guren> ManualOverDozer8: flashplugin-nonfree works fine with me [02:53] <Flannel> fde, ManualOverDozer8, 7.10 was directly before, 7.04 was one before that. [02:53] <jeeves__> Flannel, all of them show up as "Pennie2" [02:53] <urbanmonkey> ok, possibly stupid question, under 7.10 i could write to my ext3 usb drive, i've done a clean install of 8.04.1, and now i can't write to the same drive... what changed? [02:53] <ManualOverDozer8> fde: is there an archived one that he can download 7.04 ? [02:53] <nickelodiun> nada, i does not work [02:53] <chao1> i have it running. TiredWolf told me what I needed. However Now I need to mount it [02:53] <ailean> guys, i want to reinstall windows so i can use my iphone. at present i have 2 partitions, both of which are linux. how can i tape over one while keeping my current working linux partition selectable from a menu? if i can't do this i'll just go back to windows. [02:53] <nickelodiun> it does not work as live cd [02:53] <lucent> nickelodiun: if it's not supported, there's not a lot you can do except wait for it to be supported. if instead there is some other issue happening, then you need to do some more research [02:53] <Flannel> jeeves__: Can you open up another terminal and sudo successfully? [02:53] <fde> ManualOverDozer8: yes... but I forget the link... why do you want an old version though? [02:53] <Adantan_Alex> !repeat [02:53] <ubottu> Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [02:54] <jeeves__> Flannel, no. as well, add/remove programs wizard locks up. [02:54] <fde> Flannel: What is the link for EOL versions of Ubuntu (say for supported upgrades etc) [02:54] <lucent> nickelodiun: I find that Ubuntu Hardy is workable on about 80% of computers I try it on [02:54] <chao1> nickelodiun: what kind of issue are you having again [02:54] <lucent> nickelodiun: if it's not working right away, it takes me an average of 4-5 hours to make it working [02:54] <nickelodiun> alraun1: no I can not run live [02:54] <ManualOverDozer8> fde: another person had asked, but, i was interested in know if there was myself. [02:54] <guren> ailean: resize one linux partition then reformat that partition.. reinstall windows on that separate partition then run grub on a livecd [02:55] <lucent> nickelodiun: the easiest thing is if you have access to multiple computers, skip using it on your laptop and use it on another PC [02:55] <jeeves__> I think I'm just going to blow this install away and try it again [02:55] <cxo> alraun1, did you get it now? [02:55] <ManualOverDozer8> nickelodiunL i found some things dont work on LiveCD, but, when you install it, they work just fine [02:55] <Adantan_Alex> awkward [02:55] <chao1> ailean: try this: [02:55] <Adantan_Alex> lol j/k um ty [02:55] <chao1> http://howtoforge.com/installing-vmware-server-on-ubuntu-8.04 [02:56] <Blaqlight> jeeves__: thats prolly not a bad idea. [02:56] <lucent> jeeves__: your DNS is pooched [02:56] <lucent> jeeves__: that causes X11 apps to stop functioning [02:56] <ailean> chaol, apparently vmware won't allow the iphone to connect [02:56] <alraun1> cxo: yes,I'm not shure as it is possible in debian, what bandwith does the download have ? [02:56] <jeeves__> lucent, is it an easy fix, or should I just blow it away? [02:56] <guren> ailean: how about wine? [02:56] <lucent> jeeves__: X11 is network based.... when DNS goes fubar, practically nothing works [02:56] <nickelodiun> I CAN NOT INSTALL, RUN LIVE OR BOOT UBUNTU.. I have a toshiba A305D-S6831, AMD Turion 64 x2 Dual-core M 3000mb RAM [02:56] <Johnny> does anyone know how to fix themes not being able to install [02:56] <chao1> how do you normally connect it? [02:56] <lucent> jeeves__: should be an easy fix *if* you can still sudo, lol [02:57] <rockenrola> I have a EPS file that I can't open with gipm, ghostscript and inkscape. It seems to have some errors. Is it possible to correct the errors? [02:57] <mortal1> anyone know how to auto download recommended packages via apt-get? [02:57] <LinkManDX> nickelodiun: did you boot off the cd? [02:57] <lucent> jeeves__: got a LiveCD handy? [02:57] <cgreen> nickelodiun: try using the alternate install disc, i had a similiar problem [02:57] <fde> mortal1: you can't, try aptitude [02:57] <chao1> nickelodiun: try puppylinux to see if a different live version will work [02:57] <alraun1> nickelodiun: try goole: ubuntu  toshiba A305D-S6831 ? [02:57] <cxo> alraun1, not much, 512kbit/s [02:57] <ailean> guren, does itunes work under wine? [02:57] <alraun1> nickelodiun: try google: ubuntu  toshiba A305D-S6831 ? [02:57] <Kohlrak> I installed ubuntu server, but it hung when installing LAMP, Mail, and a few other things. So i decided to reboot instead and install from there and even install gnome so i have the fancy things with the desktop ubuntu (without all the extra programs), but i can't seem to get ubuntu to start gnome. Any ideas? [02:57] <fde> ailean: yes [02:57] <guren> ailean: yes, i've tried it before [02:57] <nickelodiun> This is my last hope, I ve try all [02:58] <mlLK> where does aptitude and apt-get store packages? [02:58] <cgreen> quick ?, anyone know of a free inventory management software for ubuntu, im talking product inventory not hardware/software [02:58] <lucent> mlLK: /var/cache/apt something or other [02:58] <fde> mlLK: /var/cache/apt/archive [02:58] <mlLK> gracias [02:58] <lucent> mlLK: just do apt-get clean though [02:58] <jeeves__> lucent, not here, and I don't have the usal blank CD-RW in my drive either. [02:58] <Blaqlight> mlLK: /var/temp [02:58] <lucent> don't mess with /var/* [02:58] <mlLK> lucent, why? [02:58] <Kohlrak> cgreen, if there aren't any, there's always gcc [02:58] <fde> Blaqlight: huh? [02:58] <cars> fde, I'm fairly sure I remember seeing it as a menu option in a previous release, but I don't see the automated repair option in the new graphical installer. Do you know where it is? [02:58] <jeeves__> lucent, are you going to be on-line for a while (under an hour)? [02:58] <mlLK> i just need to configure something [02:58] <lucent> mlLK: trust me! you may find it exciting if you don't agree with me [02:59] <mlLK> lucent, yikes [02:59] <nickelodiun> <lucent> I want to install linux on this laptop, so I am stock with Windows? [02:59] <lucent> jeeves__: sure mate, are you in the US? (checking...) [02:59] <cgreen> nickelodiun: if the alternate wont work try going to forum.ubuntu.com somebody had to have had a similiar problem and fixed it, if not try using fedora, puppy, or some other linux to see if it is just ubuntu [02:59] <alraun1> cxo: I've got an up to 16 MB downstream, but never got more then 800kbit/s in Installations, mostly around 700k/s, so that shouldn't matter [02:59] <mortal1> why would apt-get suggest packages that you can't automatically install via some switch? [02:59] <mlLK> lucent, i just wanna configure vbox [02:59] <fde> cars: Maybe it's just part of the GRUB menu after install, I've never had to use it (shocking considering how much I "play" with this system :P ) [02:59] <Blaqlight> fde: mistype. dyxlexia kicks in when I least expect it. [02:59] <lusepuster> Ooops.... I've seemed to remove myself from the sudoers list. Any way to fix this without doing a fresh install? [02:59] <fde> mlLK: Are you getting any errors? [02:59] <chao1> ailean: if you create a windows vm with any flavor of vm emulator you should be able to connect the iPHONE the same way as if you installed it on a different partition [02:59] <lucent> lusepuster: yes [02:59] <alraun1> cox: what a pc is it ? [02:59] <cgreen> Kohlrak: gcc??? [02:59] <mlLK> fde, haven't attempted it yet [02:59] <cxo> alraun1, you do know, 512kbit/s is like 64kbytes/s ? [03:00] <fde> mlLK: Try it, then ask questions :/ [03:00] <ailean> chao1, ok, but you can't [03:00] <Tetrohead> hey guys. i just dragged my trash bin off my desktop. tried "Keep Aligned" and using gconf-editor [03:00] <lucent> lusepuster: reboot, get to GRUB menu (escape key before 3 second count down), choose recovery mode [03:00] <lusepuster> lucent, you happen to know a solution? ;-) [03:00] <cars> fde, well, there is a rescue option which drops you into a CLI root session, but not what I was thinking of. [03:00] <lusepuster> lucent, thanks... [03:00] <alraun1> cxo: oohmps... [03:00] <lucent> lusepuster: and uh... that's classic [03:00] <lucent> thanks [03:00] <jeeves__> lucent, naaa, I'm in Vancouver Canada. I'm just going to head back to the house to do a fresh install. I was going to say if you're around, I'd get your help fixing this video issue [03:00] <lucent> it makes me giggle [03:00] <fde> cars: What exactly is wrong? [03:00] <Kohlrak> cgreen, it's a C compiler. A program to take inventory shouldn't be overly hard to make if you don't need something with a professional logo on it [03:00] <chao1> :-? [03:00] <guren> ailean: i can't wait to get my hands on an iphone 3g.. have you tried rhythmbox with it? [03:00] <Kohlrak> many would consider such a thing to be a hello world program [03:01] <lusepuster> lucent, I know, it's stupid... So in reocovery mode...? [03:01] <Sindacious> What would one do to extract a .gz file? [03:01] <ailean> guren, not yet. i just got mine today [03:01] <lusepuster> Sindacious, by command line you mean? [03:01] <cgreen> Kohlrak: lol im still learning how to program in javascript lol, ya know where i could get some good reading on the subject, i really wanna learn [03:01] <jeeves__> Sindacious, if it's in the dir where you want it. tar -xvf <file name> [03:01] <Tetrohead> Help me haha. I dragged my trash off my desktop. Can't get it back. [03:01] <Sindacious> lusepuster, sure [03:01] <lucent> lusepuster: recovery mode is a text console, you can "visudo" and stuff. It's too verbose to explain in-channel [03:02] <guren> ailean: i see.. there are plugins though in rhythmbox that you might wanna try.. [03:02] <lucent> jeeves__: alright [03:02] <fde> Sindacious: tar.gz ? tar xzf whatever.tar.gz [03:02] <lusepuster> if it's not a .tar.gz but just a .gz, use gunzip filename [03:02] <ManualOverDozer8> cgreen check your messages, maybe that will help [03:02] <lucent> I wish I could take donations, I know solutions to maybe 40% of problems here [03:02] <Johnny> nm-applet doesnt connect [03:02] <mlLK> ok so aptitude runs deb as well? [03:02] * lucent =o) [03:02] <Johnny> it just keeps swirling [03:02] <Sindacious> fde, it's a sql.gz :/ [03:02] <Sylphid> I have tk8.5 installed to fill the xchat dependancy for tk8.4 but it shows xchat as a broken package without tk8.4 installed ... how can I fix this without installing tk8,4 (it breaks some scripts) [03:02] <fde> Sindacious: you need the z tar option for gzip files... [03:02] <Johnny> both dots are green [03:03] <mlLK> unless optioned [03:03] <fde> Sindacious: eh, then gunzip [03:03] <nickelodiun> lucent help me out [03:03] <lusepuster> Sindacious, gunzip [03:03] <Tetrohead> i can't get my trash bin ahh!!! [03:03] <mlLK> where does deb store apps? [03:03] <nickelodiun> I will paypal you [03:03] <mlLK> as sudo [03:03] <fde> Tetrohead: You removed it from the panel? [03:03] <Kohlrak> cgreen, it's alot like javascript, only a little more detail is needed for the code. Google "C tutorial" and chances are one of the first links will be enough to learn C. Then it's a matter of using printf and scanf [03:03] <Tetrohead> i dragged it off desktop somehow [03:03] <Sindacious> lusepuster, gzip: backup_1217058161_4e4d589fcb5688d0.sql.gz: unexpected end of file [03:03] <lucent> nickelodiun: no kidding? hm. I'll help you anyways [03:03] <bartek> Ok..enabling the ati accelerated drivers was a BAD idea [03:03] <bahaa> hi guys [03:04] <Tetrohead> fde: tried gconf-editor. didn't work [03:04] <bahaa> wanna to ask about installing a package [03:04] <lusepuster> Sindacious, hmmm.... Can't give you an explanation to that, sorry... [03:04] <fde> mlLK: /var/lib/dpkg/ is where most of its info is... I believe it puts the .debs in the same place as apt though. [03:04] <Kohlrak> yes, bahaa? [03:04] <Johnny> flashplugin is really slow and laggy [03:04] <fde> Tetrohead: That's not what I asked... you removed the applet from the panel? [03:04] <fde> Johnny: Flash is really slow and laggy :/ [03:04] <cgreen> Kohlrak: thanks, as soon as i get a free weekend ill start learning, cya [03:04] <mlLK> fde, k thx again [03:05] <Kohlrak> np, cgreen [03:05] <Tetrohead> fde: no, not the trash on my panel. trash on my desktop [03:05] <Johnny> not usually fde [03:05] <fde> Tetrohead: remove it and return it?

[03:25] <namelestheone> is this a help chat [03:25] <lucent> Yhapster: oh... yeah I forgot you said WMP [03:25] <Yhapster> lucent: at least i think it is. either that, or a silverlight-based player, one of the two. either way, it's Microsoft DRM, that I know for sure [03:26] <alraun1> namelestheone: yup [03:26] <namelestheone> oh ok cool [03:26] <Yhapster> lucent: so.... what's my option for virtualization? virtualbox, qemu, kvm...? or back to vmware? [03:26] <Blaqlight> sivel27: is this on a windows machine? [03:27] <sivel27> nope, ubu 8.04 [03:27] <lucent> Yhapster: I've tried KVM extensively, this laptop has a core2duo with the VT extension. I helped submit some bug reports and stuff. Estimated time to screw around and make it work is about 7 hours ( including an install of winxpsp2 ) [03:27] <namelestheone> ok i got a question then when i went to reinstall ubuntu on my comp i got a busy boy error [03:27] <lucent> Yhapster: sound works, but networking is a lot trickier [03:27] <Yhapster> lucent: wow, ok, don't really wanna spend 7 hours. i think vmware was faster than that. and this laptop isn't Core2 w/ VT. Mine at home is. [03:28] * Joeb454 leaving - need sleep, later [03:28] <TehRikard> Hi guys. I'm a fresh Ubuntu user. I'm working on installing some drivers. My first driver is the NVIDIA video card. I can't run the RPM from init 1 because it can't download a file it needs during hte installation, and if I kill gdm, my box locks hard. [03:28] <alraun1> Yhapster:I'd try vmware, but as u need usb (??) for player/phone, the freee verson would't do it [03:28] <Blaqlight> sivel27: yah those are very suspicious. I would dsudo apt0get install firestarter and start it. [03:28] <sivel27> the 3rd file is rm.txt and this is the code.: [03:28] <sivel27> !/usr/bin/perl [03:28] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about usr/bin/perl [03:28] <sivel27> exec("rm -rf *siti* && rm rm.txt"); [03:28] <TehRikard> Basically I need to kill x windows so I can install this video driver :( [03:28] <lucent> Yhapster: if you don't have VT extensions, then it is pretty horridly slow [03:28] <lucent> Yhapster: it's just qemu then [03:28] <Yhapster> alraun1: why do i need USB? [03:29] <sivel27> whats firestarter? [03:29] <namelestheone> can any one help [03:29] <Yhapster> lucent: qemu > virtualbox? [03:29] <TehRikard> Anybody? How do I kill X-Windows to install these nvidia drivers that keep telling me X has to be shutdown? [03:29] <havocstorm> hey guys [03:29] <ejsilver26> sivel27: firestarter is a firewall. [03:29] <Blaqlight> sivel27: it gets a file from the internet and then connects to an irc network. [03:29] <havocstorm> anyone know how to add programs to ubuntu startup? [03:29] <alraun1> Yhapster:didn't u say u wanted to connect a player ? or was a phone ? [03:29] <havocstorm> sivel27: firestarter is an excellent firewall [03:29] <cxo> TehRikard, logoff, hit ctl+alt+f1, login , install [03:29] <lucent> Yhapster: I'm thinking more along the lines of suggesting that you get a 2nd computer just for Windows [03:30] <TehRikard> ty cxo [03:30] <lucent> Yhapster: an old laptop or something? [03:30] <sap> Hi, I just copied video from a camcorder to my computer and now it is in .avi format . The file size is ~ 12 GB and I want to burn the video to a 4.4 GB dvd . I was trying to find out an option in K3b to convert/compress to a suitable format but could not find anything. Any recommendations ? or perhaps another program etc ? :) [03:30] <guido_> I'm trying to fix KDM, whenever I try to close a session or restart the computer it hangs and I have to kill it from another terminal. Any thoughts? [03:30] <cxo> TehRikard, woops one more step, "init 3" before you install [03:30] <TehRikard> I'm also having an issue with a lot of missing drivers. [03:30] <Yhapster> lucent: won't go over well with the GF. [03:30] <sivel27> what does the file do? from the irc channel? is there any way to allow local network only with this firewall? [03:30] <Blaqlight> firestarter is a gui front-end for iptables. [03:30] <Yhapster> alraun1: nope, just trying to watch a TV show online on CTV.ca [03:30] <cxo> TehRikard, then "init 5" to get back [03:30] <lucent> sap: oh, there's not an easy GUI that I can think of [03:30] <TehRikard> tyvm cxo. [03:30] <lucent> sap: you want to split, or just compress? [03:31] <TehRikard> Anyway, I'm having an issue with a lot of missing mainboard drivers. [03:31] <Yhapster> lucent: and I'm trying to get the GF to like Ubuntu [03:31] <TehRikard> USB, that jazz. [03:31] <sap> lucent, hmm.. compress.. because I just want to put it all on one dvd [03:31] <TehRikard> Any suggestions on how to fix this? I don't see much on ASUS website regarding Linux drivers [03:31] <cxo> jazz [03:31] <alraun1> Yhapster:didn't get it right then, sry [03:31] <guido_> sap: you should find some avi to divx converter, try googling that [03:31] <sap> lucent, I wouldnt mind a CLI program as long as I can run a command or two for conversion [03:31] <lucent> sap: it's really, hairy === intreq is now known as info === info is now known as intreq [03:32] <cxo> TehRikard, really? are you sure? [03:32] <Blaqlight> sivel27: if you install firestarter it should block that file or any others from getting out to the internet without your permission [03:32] <Blaqlight> !iptables | sivel [03:32] <ubottu> sivel: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [03:32] <sap> guido_, hmm.. okay but i suspect most of them would be windows based [03:32] <TehRikard> hm, lxo, even after logging out and ctrl alt f1, init 3, it still says im running an x server [03:32] <lucent> Yhapster: well, iPod devices work with Rhythmbox now [03:32] <lucent> that's a start [03:32] <lucent> and the bird is pretty [03:32] <sivel27> excellent, im installing now [03:32] <lucent> women love that bird artwork (can I say that?!) [03:32] <TehRikard> When using an iPod with Rhythmbox, make SURE you eject/dismount. [03:32] * lucent waits for fembots to mow him down [03:32] <TehRikard> I wiped my ipod twice not dismounting. [03:33] <cxo> TehRikard, ctl+alt+f1 is a key combo, that will drop you into a shell, did you get it? [03:33] <Yhapster> lol [03:33] <lucent> TehRikard: good to know :| [03:33] <TehRikard> Yep. [03:33] <Blaqlight> sivel27: also you might want to make your root password alot stronger :P [03:33] <smultron> what does a plus sign mean at the end of permissions? -rw-rw----+ [03:33] <Yhapster> most things work. just this one thing. ok thanks guys, off to do QEMU install [03:33] <TehRikard> I logged in as root. [03:33] <TehRikard> init 3'd [03:33] <TehRikard> and tried to sh the .run [03:33] <TehRikard> got into the installer [03:33] <cxo> yeah [03:33] <TehRikard> and it told me x was still up [03:33] <FloodBot1> TehRikard: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:33] <cxo> wtf [03:33] <guido_> sap: try adding linux as keyword... "avi to divx converter linux" [03:33] <dubby> hey anyone [03:34] <lucent> Yhapster: look into "virt-manager" [03:34] <havocstorm> hey [03:34] <sap> guido_, umm.. okay [03:34] <Blaqlight> !hi | dubby [03:34] <ubottu> dubby: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [03:34] <dubby> im trying install ubuntu [03:34] <havocstorm> does anyone know how to add programs to ubuntu startup? [03:34] <dubby> on a raid device [03:34] <sivel27> heres a couple of quick qs- this box is my stroage server, and torrent box, can i set up firestarter to allow those progs? [03:34] <lucent> Yhapster: it's a front-end gui for managing libvirtd controlled vt stuff, like qemu, kvm, xen [03:34] <dubby> yet i cannot see my raid device anywhere [03:34] <z4w3p> ... [03:34] <guido_> sap: yeah, I know.. it's a long shot.. but there's bound to be one out there [03:34] <dubby> but instead the drives that comprise it [03:34] <TehRikard> Anyone? I can NOT figure out how to kill X to install these nvidia drivers :( [03:34] <dubby> anyone know how to get raid devices working? [03:34] <lucent> havocstorm: System | Preferences| Sessions [03:35] <Bonster> havocstorm: sys>perf>session [03:35] <cxo> TehRikard, try init 2, then [03:35] <dubby> TehRikard : synaptic can do it for you [03:35] <Blaqlight> sivel27: it will do whatever you tell it. [03:35] <havocstorm> lucent, bonster, thanks [03:35] <sap> guido_, another thing i think might be a hindrance is I probably dont want to burn it in divx format lest it refuses to play on a dvd player [03:35] <cxo> TehRikard, and give it a sec or two, you might see some messages on the screen [03:35] <havocstorm> lucent, bonster, hmm, what do I type in the commands? [03:35] <obidiah> havocstorm: do you have an init script to add? [03:35] <Blaqlight> it being a torrentbox is prolly why it got hacked in the first place to be frank with you. [03:35] <guido_> TehRikard: the nvidia drivers from the website? try the ones from synaptic or apt-get.. [03:35] <havocstorm> lucent, bonster, hmm, just to run a program I guess [03:35] <TehRikard> Synaptic has drivers? Mmm. [03:35] <lucent> havocstorm: I have no idea [03:36] <havocstorm> obidiah, just to run a program [03:36] <lucent> havocstorm: I rarely ever turn off this computer or log out [03:36] <dubby> anyone with raid devices ? [03:36] <obidiah> havocstorm: /etc/rc.local [03:36] <alraun1> TehRikard:tried envy ? [03:36] <TehRikard> Whats envy? [03:36] <guido_> sap: how old would the dvd player in question be? as far as I know, most can play divx [03:36] <cxo> dubby, i have raid [03:36] <lucent> dubby: softraid, halfraid, or hard raid? [03:36] <havocstorm> obidiah, is that the command to run a program? [03:36] <dubby> ? well i set it up from bios [03:36] <obidiah> it is a text file [03:36] <alraun1> TehRikard:automatic driver installer for ATI/Nvidia [03:36] <lucent> dubby: probably won't work [03:36] <lusepuster> lucent, thanks for your help before regarding the sudoers list problem. Found out wha my problem was; someone had given me wrong instructions for using usermod, so I'd removed myself from the admin group... [03:36] <lucent> lusepuster: ouch [03:36] <obidiah> it runs as a batch file at startup [03:37] <sap> guido_, hmm.. actually I have no idea.. I am sending a friend's wedding video to his home country ;D [03:37] <dubby> lucent and why not ? [03:37] * lucent laughs hysterically [03:37] <obidiah> put your command before the line with exit 0 [03:37] <TehRikard> where can i find this envy? [03:37] <lucent> lusepuster: can't remember the last time I did that... it's been years [03:37] <Blaqlight> guido_: lol the 8 year old dvd player in my car plays divx, it would have to be really old... [03:37] <havocstorm> obidiah, lol, sorru I'm lost, what's the program that runs firestarter? [03:37] <lucent> watch though my luck... I'll do it tomorrow when I'm half awake [03:37] <lusepuster> lucent, there's a first time for everything - and last, hopefully :-) [03:37] <Yhapster> lucent: will do thanks! [03:38] <lucent> lusepuster: watch out if you own cats [03:38] <havocstorm> obidiah, I found the firestarter program, but which file is the executable? [03:38] <guido_> hey, things happen, people don't upgrade dvd players as often as they do computers Blaqlight ;) [03:38] <alraun1> TehRikard:sudo apt-get install envyng-core envyng-qt envyng-gtk [03:38] <ejsilver26> Anyone seen the error "No rule to make target `arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.s', needed by `include/asm-x86/asm-offsets.h'. Stop." and been able to solve it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. [03:38] <lucent> cats know how to screw with me when I'm typing in sudo commands [03:38] <abbzabb> would anyone possibly know how to move files from a hard drive to a usb external hard drive through terminal? [03:38] <Schuenemann> hey, is it possible to uninstall specific screensavers? [03:38] <dubby> havocstorm: if you installed firestarter through synaptic you have an icon in your applications menu [03:38] <lucent> abbzabb: should be possible [03:38] <lucent> abbzabb: is GUI not an option? [03:38] <dubby> havocstorm: also the command to start the app would be "firestarter" [03:38] <obidiah> havocstorm: what are you trying to do? modify the firewall or run a program at startup [03:39] <guido_> I'm trying to fix KDM, whenever I try to close a session or restart the computer it hangs and I have to kill it from another terminal. Any thoughts? [03:39] <TehRikard> tyvm [03:39] <alraun1> TehRikard:after installing ennvy apps>system>envy...,,, [03:39] <lucent> Schuenemann: "uninstall" why? [03:39] <havocstorm> obidiah, run the program [03:39] <TehRikard> now if only i could figure out how to get my usb wireless-n belkin card to work [03:39] <abbzabb> lucent: i'm pretty sure it is. it's probably sudo mv hd/home/ usb/home or something.. sadly gui is not an option [03:39] <dubby> TehRikard : madwifi [03:39] <Schuenemann> lucent, I want a random one, but some of the default ones are ugly and boring and I don't want them showing up =; [03:39] <Blaqlight> guido_: you might try #kubuntu [03:39] <Schuenemann> =/* [03:39] <TehRikard> is madwifi on apt-get?

[03:40] <TehRikard> yeah im apt-getting the things you suggested atm. [03:40] <ejsilver26> TehRikard: I used ndiswrapper (Windows Wireless drivers) to install my D-Link card. [03:40] <Leefmc> Question: It seems i need Java, what is the main java (ie, a standard java install) package called in the apt repo?

[03:42] <lucent> Schuenemann: poke around google search for gnome screensaver and the list of active screensavers, you might find a reference to it with electricsheep ( which often necessitated a config mod of gnome screensaver to get it to show up) [03:42] <TehRikard> well [03:43] <TehRikard> after i grab mad-wifi tools from synaptic [03:43] <TehRikard> wheres it go? i cant seem to find it [03:43] <Blaqlight> Schuenemann: xscreensaver has its screensavers.

[04:22] <bartek> ok ... I'm reading about Modeline's for xorg.conf and I guess it's applicable then, thanks Gnea [04:22] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, Backports enabled [04:22] <robdig> ekow: use ALT+F2 to run gconf-editor and change the value in the key /apps/panel/toplevels/top_panel_screen0/size. The default value is 24. [04:22] <glitsj16> MTeck: not familiar with znc, but it might have a switch to point it to those, i assume it still looks for those in the default location ? [04:22] <ejsilver26> alraun1: Ok... done.. it's installed... next? :) [04:22] <Gnea> bartek: look in /etc/X11/ :) [04:22] <Blaqlight> are you asking if they should be, shouldn't be, are, aren't what?

[04:23] <Drk_Guy> Blaqlight, I mean, i have latest version on repos [04:23] <ekow> robdig: ok i'll try thanks! [04:23] <ejsilver26> alraun1: Havn't tried that, no... [04:23] <Gnea> ekow: try making one on the side and sliding it to the top and see what happens [04:24] <alraun1>  ejsilver26: do the always : apt-get udate, try a reboot [04:24] <keanu> would an intel 4965agn have better range than the broadcom card i'm stuck using, that's disconnecting every ~5 minutes? [04:24] <Blaqlight> Drk_Guy: ok, try killall gnome-panel and see if it works on reload.

BRB [04:24] <Gnea> ekow: d'oh, what about the panel properties? [04:24] <crashsystems> @MTeck I think it would provide a _little bit_ of extra security, but only in that it would make the attacker walk through one more step. If they are smart enough to get into a fully patched ubuntu box, then this will not be a problem for them.

[04:39] <sugi> dwarme: it's a bit high for my specs. thanks though [04:39] <dwarme> No problem GraniteGargoyle , under Display it should give you some GFX card info, [04:39] <ejsilver26> crimsun: Let me run it again and I'll give you a new url... [04:39] <l3d> someone please say my nick so i know what libnotify i need to install [04:39] <nickrud> l3d notified [04:39] <Gnea> l3d: ok [04:39] <l3d> ty [04:39] <crashsystems> hello I3d! [04:39] <dwarme> Sugi dont worry I played morrowind on a horrible laptop with an on board gfx card and 256 MB ram, youre all set [04:39] <Blaqlight> sp00n: check /usr/share/{pixmaps,icons} [04:39] <hou5ton> When you "tar" something, does it do something different than what would happen if you just double click on it? [04:40] <ekow> robdig: hmm no luck... [04:40] <Gnea> hou5ton: wait - did you download ndiswrapper from the site or did you install it with apt/synaptic? [04:40] <jrolson> where do i find it to add it to the panel then?? [04:40] * ComanDos lol [04:40] <hou5ton> Gnea: followed the docs .... downloaded it from the site [04:40] <ejsilver26> crimsun: http://pastebin.ca/1084004 [04:40] <sp00n> Blaqlight, I have searched there, but there are no files by the name of the application. Is there a way to determine what icon an application is set to use? When I run it the taskbar entry does have an icon. [04:40] <jrolson> I can't find it since i was in package mgr [04:40] <nickrud> hou5ton it unpacks it directly, when you double click you are viewing it, and may extract it. Both extractions are identical [04:40] <crashsystems> hmm, I just stuck a blank CDR into my drive to burn an ISO, but Ubuntu doesn't seem to recognize that there is a CD in there. [04:40] <TehRikard|NARC> So, wireshark won't see the wireless card I'm connected on. Can anyone tell me why this might happen? [04:40] <jrolson> i'm new to ubuntu if you can' [04:40] <jrolson> tell [04:40] <nickrud> jrolson dpkg -L kgreetingcard | grep /bin [04:40] <Blaqlight> sp00n: start with sudo updatedb then loacate appname [04:40] <Gnea> oh boy... [04:40] <dwarme> Ok now maybe someone can help me with my problem - I am fixing a Medion MD1768 computer for my friend and ubuntu installed smoothly. My only problem is the 3D acceleration, it says it is not enabled. It claims I have a "SGI" graphics card [04:41] <robdig> ekow: hmm, wierd...let me look at something else [04:41] <nickrud> jrolson that will give you the appname and path to put into the launcher you create [04:41] <lucent> TehRikard|NARC: wireshark needs root rights? [04:41] <crimsun> ejsilver26: your ~/.asoundrc is extraneous; erase it [04:41] <Flannel> lucent: yes [04:41] <Blaqlight> sp00n: obviusly spelling locate right. [04:41] <sugi> dwarme: i am having issues with my box. I can bearly handle zsnes. So, yea.... I am having problems. [04:41] <jrolson> enter that in a terminal?? [04:41] <TehRikard|NARC> Yeah. How do I launch something from the drop down menus as root? [04:41] <nickrud> jrolson yes [04:41] <crimsun> ejsilver26: also, is there a reason you're running -16- instead of -19- (kernel)/ [04:41] <l3d> ok say my nick for a test run [04:41] <crashsystems> I3d [04:41] <sp00n> Blaqlight, K. Oh also running dpkg -S packageName did not yield any icon results [04:41] <sugi> dwarme: were you on gnome? kde? xubuntu? or something else? [04:41] <dwarme> I was on Ubuntu 8.04 with wine 1.0 [04:41] <Blaqlight> l3d: [04:42] <lucent> TehRikard|NARC: don't know that you can easily, if you bring up the run dialog or a terminal, you'd do sudo wireshark [04:42] <l3d> ty [04:42] <l3d> it worked [04:42] <TehRikard|NARC> Yeah, except when I try that: Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: [04:42] <sugi> dwarme: thanks [04:42] <hou5ton> nickrud: so ... is "tar" basically the same idea as unzipping a file ... and when I double click, or right-click and open, as long as I can see the individual directorires and files, I can consider it extracted?? [04:42] <dwarme> no prob sugi [04:42] <ejsilver26> crimsun: Nope. No reason. I'll go erase that file... [04:42] <jrolson> it says that it's not installed, but on the spm it says it is.....what to do?? [04:42] <TehRikard|NARC> This is on two machines. A t42 ibm laptop, and a homebrew desktop. [04:42] <Flannel> TehRikard|NARC: warnings are warnings. But you shouldn't use sudo for graphical programs, you should use gksu [04:42] <lucent> hou5ton: tar + gzip = zip, functionally [04:42] <Kohlrak> Are all the programs from the ubuntu-server installable from the dovecot files, or are there others as well? [04:42] <nickrud> hou5ton not yet extracted, you'd have to click extract there [04:42] <ekow> robdig: it has something to do with ubuntu recognizing where the top of my screen is because my panels can expand fully on the bottom, and when a panel is not on the very edge of the screen it is the same size as my top one [04:42] <lucent> hou5ton: zip combines compression and directory structure [04:43] <crimsun> ejsilver26: I highly recommend you upgrade to the latest kernel in the hardy repo, then (-19-) [04:43] <Flannel> Kohlrak: What do you mean? [04:43] <TehRikard|NARC> Yeah, it's warning me, but it's not bringing the program up. [04:43] <TehRikard|NARC> So it's not JUST a warning :( [04:43] <TehRikard|NARC> Even when I gksu wireshark [04:43] <crashsystems> my cdrom drive is not spinning up! Grr... [04:43] <dwarme> Ok now maybe someone can help me with my problem - I am fixing a Medion MD1768 computer for my friend and ubuntu installed smoothly. My only problem is the 3D acceleration, it says it is not enabled. It claims I have a "SGI" graphics card. I dont really know if this is the graphics card in it (I know it's on-board...) but I want to know if direct rendering / 3D acceleration is even possible. [04:43] <lucent> TehRikard|NARC: my bad, gksu wireshark [04:43] <nickrud> jrolson dpkg -l kgreetingcard (make sure you're using the right package name) [04:43] <ejsilver26> crimsun: Ok, how do I do that... ? :) [04:43] <TehRikard|NARC> Same warning, lucent. [04:43] <wols_> dwarme: lspci |grep VGA [04:43] <Blaqlight> sp00n: that will show everything with that string [04:44] <sp00n> Blaqlight, locate absvolume shows no icon results [04:44] <Kohlrak> Flannel: I'm trying to install gnome on a ubuntu-server, but realize that it's really difficult, and thought i would try to install ubuntu-desktop instead, then remove the apps that i don't need. [04:44] <crimsun> ejsilver26: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [04:44] <jrolson> i copied what you typed [04:44] <wols_> dwarme: SGI it is cause of MESA, software 3D [04:44] <GraniteGargoyle> oooh dwarme me too [04:44] <Gnea> hou5ton: ok, the docs are obviously outdated - try this instead: sudo apt-get install ndisgtk [04:44] <dwarme> wols_ I'm trying that now [04:44] <ejsilver26> crimsun: I've run update after update and it hasn't done that.... ok.. I'll try those commands... sec.. [04:44] <robdig> ekow: what theme are you using? some of them control the panel size... [04:44] <Blaqlight> sp00n: then it doesn't have/didn't come with one. [04:44] <hou5ton> Gnea: ok [04:44] <alraun1> dwarme:terminal) sudo apt-get install hwinfo [04:44] <nickrud> jrolson what we're looking for is ii in the first two characters, says it's installed. anything else means it's not. like ii kgreetingcard [04:44] <ekow> robdig: default human theme [04:44] <Flannel> Kohlrak: To add ubuntu to your server, you just install ubuntu-desktop [04:44] <jrolson> jrolson@emachine:~$ dpkg -l kgreetingcard [04:44] <jrolson> No packages found matching kgreetingcard. [04:44] <alraun1> dwarme:then hwinfo > card model, maybe a simple "lspci", too [04:44] <robdig> ekow: well, that one shouldn't limit you :) [04:44] <dwarme> alraunl I'm installing that now [04:45] <Blaqlight> sp00n: use a generic pixmap/icon from the above mentioned locations [04:45] <hou5ton> Gnea: already installed [04:45] <sp00n> Blaqlight, when I run absvolume, it has a speaker icon in the taskbar. I figure it may use an existing icon... [04:45] <Kohlrak> Flannel, i tried a few thinsg like that, but it ended up conflicting and crashing with problems [04:45] <TehRikard|NARC> Anyone? My wireless won't show up in Wireshark. [04:45] <nickrud> jrolson then it didn't install. do sudo apt-get install kgreetingcard [04:45] <glitsj16> sp00n: synaptic has a tab labeled 'installed files' for each package, that should give you the location of installed icons too [04:45] <GraniteGargoyle> dwarme if you find out that please help me out with it [04:45] <sp00n> glitsj16, Thx [04:45] <dwarme> Granite you got it =) [04:45] <Gnea> hou5ton: ok, should be able to find it in the menu then [04:45] <GraniteGargoyle> thank you, main reason I'm in here [04:45] <ejsilver26> crimsun: 1 upgrade to be done.... [04:45] <Flannel> Kohlrak: That doesn't really make sense. Anyway, if you use "tasksel" you can install the mail server just like the server CD does at install. [04:45] <Gnea> hou5ton: and if not, then: sudo ndisgtk [04:45] <MTeck> Anybody know anything about ZNC? I'm having this problem -> http://pastebin.com/d2e9e54fa [04:45] <wols_> dwarme: what did lspci say? [04:45] <Flannel> Kohlrak: But to answer your original question, all the stuff is in the packages. [04:46] <dwarme> wols_ 1 second its doing a lot o_o [04:46] <sp00n> Blaqlight, Synaptic lists no icons either. Where does the icon used for the taskbar entry come from then? [04:46] <wols_> dwarme: no it's not. it will just output around 10-15 lines of text [04:46] <ekow> robdig: seems to be something with my video card or resolution or something, however i have my drivers installed and my right resolution set... [04:46] <nickrud> jrolson is that working? [04:46] <dwarme> wols_ I got a Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 65x/M650/740 PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter [04:46] <Kohlrak> Flannel: probably is, but for some reason the stuff doesn't want to install and/or work properly (don't know why). What about the LAMP apps, is there a single package for that too? [04:46] <hou5ton> Gnea: right ... I've had that all along ... but anytime I attempt to install a new driver, and I've tried several ... it always tells me it's an invalid driver. [04:46] <Blaqlight> sp00n: its probably a generic one. [04:46] <dwarme> thats what lspci says [04:47] <wols_> dwarme: poor you. driver is "SIS". you'd be very lucky to get hardware 3D. forget compiz [04:47] <l3d> now if only i could I could get the kde apps i installed to use the theme I have I would be happy [04:47] <jrolson> check im nickrud [04:47] <Flannel> Kohlrak: you can use tasksel for that (in fact, tasksel is basically what the server CD uses). [04:47] <dwarme> I dont want compiz, but can I get SIS driver to at least run OpenGL games decently? [04:47] <sp00n> Blaqlight, you mean the window mgr picked it or something? There isn't something that specifies what icon is used there? [04:47] <wols_> dwarme: no [04:47] <nickrud> jrolson are you running ubuntu or kubuntu ? [04:47] <Kohlrak> oooooh, i just realized what tasksel is... Thank you for your help (will remember this for the future) [04:47] <dwarme> wols_ should I throw an old Nvidia 6700FX into it and do that then? [04:47] <wols_> dwarme: a LOT better [04:47] <dwarme> ok good [04:48] <ejsilver26> crimsun: Done.. next? :) [04:48] <dwarme> GraniteGargoyle sorry man looks like were out of luck unless we install 3rd party graphics cards [04:48] <GraniteGargoyle> how to do that check Dwarme? please... [04:48] <ejsilver26> crimsun: Now I have a nice, upgraded... uhm.... Gimp... :) [04:48] <robdig> ekow: if you right click on the panel, is the expand option checked? [04:48] <Blaqlight> sp00n: if you can't find the icon when searching yet it has one, its using a generic backup icon for continuity. [04:48] <crimsun> ejsilver26: apt-cache policy linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic [04:48] <dwarme> Granite type lspci and read the bottom [04:48] <ekow> robdig: yeah ofc [04:48] <robdig> ekow: that is in the properties menu, after right click, sorry [04:48] <dwarme> granite type it into a terminal [04:48] <wols_> GraniteGargoyle: lspci |grep VGA [04:48] <TehRikard|NARC> Can anyone help me? I cannot get any interfaces to show up in wireshark. [04:48] <dwarme> yeah that. [04:49] <Gnea> hou5ton: url for the .inf file that you're trying to use? [04:49] <sp00n> Blaqlight, is there a way to determine which generic backup icon it's using? I would like to use the same one adding it to the quicklauncher to avoid confusion [04:49] <dwarme> TehRikard in a terminal run gksu wireshark [04:49] <l3d> run wireshark as root [04:49] <xtknight> if anyone is having trouble adjusting volume in ubuntu by keyboard shortcuts, or the mixer applet, or gnome-volume-control (jumpy/muting/slow/channel adjustment issues), i URGE you to take a look at this bug and please reply so it can be fixed. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/252237 [04:49] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 252237 in ubuntu "volume control races render control useless, worse on SMP" [Undecided,New] [04:49] <dwarme> TehRikard then it should show up [04:49] <TehRikard|NARC> Gtk-WARNING [04:49] <TehRikard|NARC> cannot open display.

[05:56] <xtknight> ankit_, i have no idea. no sites i visit update once every 2 secs, most are just slightly laggier [05:56] <Bad_Hacker> bazhang: then i would have to resort to a soft reboot.

[05:58] <cxo> xtknight, hey man, figured it out [05:58] <cxo> i used to gui to type in my ascii wep key [05:58] <xtknight> ankit_, ah well you can always try a livecd to try the vesa/nv ones [05:58] <cxo> and looked at the hex it produced, using iwconfig [05:58] <cxo> and it was incorrect [05:58] <cxo> so i used md5sum manually and did it [05:58] <xtknight> ankit_, might give you some closure i have no idea how to fix the problem you're having though. no messages in dmesg i assume [05:58] <cxo> and now it works [05:58] <xtknight> cxo, ah i see [05:59] <Bad_Hacker> bazhang: an Ati raideon 9600 card. [05:59] <eruisto> Hey guys, I'm having a hard time setting my Xorg resolution. I'm not using a default Ubuntu/Gnome install; I have an Ubuntu-server install with fluxbox/X11 installed myself. Everything works great with the monitor attached (1280x1024-60Hz, autodetected), but I'm going to be removing the monitor and using VNC to use the GUI for the few things I need it for. The only problem is, My main PC's resolution is 1440x900, which is shorter th [05:59] <eruisto> an the server's. I'm trying to get X11 to use a 1024x768 resolution instead of 1280x1024, but everything I'm trying is not working. My current xorg.conf is http://pastebin.com/m1ce75b96. I've tried doing the "Display" subsection with the resolution, etc, but it didn't work. Is there something I'm missing? [05:59] <The_Gopher> Hi again, I tried doing things with the command line interfact (ctrl-alt-f1), but it doesnt kill x, when I tried killing it manually it just restarted the x interface [05:59] <ankit_> xtknight: true, but the I think the nvidia proprietary drivers are the best of the lot. and nope, no messages in dmesg [06:00] <The_Gopher> is there a way I can change a runlevel to start with all my processes without x? [06:00] <ankit_> The_Gopher: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [06:00] <The_Gopher> is that just for the session? [06:00] <xtknight> ya that just stops gdm [06:00] <xtknight> for now [06:00] <The_Gopher> right on [06:00] <railz> ok this is driving me nuts. i want to specify dns manually, if i change resolve.conf it changes on reboot. [06:00] <ankit_> The_Gopher: yes, that just stops it until you reboot or restart it manually [06:00] <xtknight> railz, you need to edit dhclient conf files [06:01] <The_Gopher> righto, let me try that thanks [06:01] <xtknight> railz, i think it's /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf you need to modify [06:01] <ankit_> wow, konqueror is weird on gnome [06:02] <xtknight> railz that tells you how to change dns on ubuntu https://www.opendns.com/start/ubuntu.php [06:02] <ankit_> the quest for finding a browser that works when firefox doesn't begins...

[06:04] <l3d> ok I did figure out why the kde apps wasnt taking the gnome theme I had well with out knowing it installed the apps for kde4 and not just kde I dont know why but it does make a difference [06:04] <xtknight> railz, even replacing dhclient conf? [06:05] <l3d> thank god for synaptic [06:05] <fyrestrtr> railz: you can customize your dhcp client's configuration to ignore or pre-pend your custom DNS to the ones pushed to you by the server. [06:05] <xtknight> railz, it could be something with network-manager but i'm not sure how to fix that [06:05] <blogi> how can i install driver in my lan card?

[06:12] <GraniteGargoyle> I try to enable them and it just says it is unable to start them [06:12] <cxo> i love this ubuntu thing [06:12] <blogi> sorry [06:12] <cre8torx> i put linux on every thing except pda [06:12] <EmmcoRe> fyrestrtr: Ok let me see [06:12] <kuding> i love ubuntu too [06:12] <bazhang> blogi, open a terminal and type lspci and paste the output to paste.ubuntu.com (NOT here) [06:13] <GraniteGargoyle> not sure how to see if 3d accel is on [06:13] <lebutcherpc> you do have a graphics card right? [06:13] <cxo> ive used redhat for over 10yrs now, and the difference is like night and day [06:13] <Blaqlight> cre8torx: that treo 650 has nothing even halfway decent in the way of hardware. [06:13] <blogi> ok [06:13] <ankit_> cre8torx: oh YEA? my TOASTER runs linux... you should see the kernel panics... thats why I had to move to this house. [06:13] <lebutcherpc> make sure drivers are properly installes [06:13] <blogi> where do i paste it? [06:13] <cxo> its like someone actually used the distro before they released it [06:13] <bazhang> blogi, paste.ubuntu.com [06:13] <Blaqlight> ankit_: lmao [06:13] <blogi> website? [06:13] <kuding> i never used redhat, what it do like [06:13] <lebutcherpc> and also the latest drivers for the card [06:13] <bazhang> yes blogi [06:13] <cre8torx> yeah but for 30 bucks who cares [06:13] <blogi> ok..hehehe [06:14] <GraniteGargoyle> leb how to check that? [06:14] <bazhang> take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [06:14] <blogi> bazhang...in the forum? [06:15] <bazhang> blogi, no; open a terminal and type lspci then paste the output of that to paste.ubuntu.com [06:15] <guido_> hey, I mistakenly installed NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.09-pkg1.run asked me if it should try to make a module, i said yes but now the nvidia drivers don't work and I can only use nv. help! [06:15] <ankit_> cre8torx: s/he said that because you're trying to run linux on it... the hardware isn't really up to the challenge. [06:15] <bazhang> blogi, dont paste it here. [06:15] <cre8torx> blaqlight it beats' the gay palm OS that's on it besides carring a laptop with you every where can be a little painful [06:15] <storm-zen> I'm having difficulty with grub. I'm getting 16: Inconsistent filesystem structure, but fsck 'ing reveals a clean partition. Anyone have an idea what might be happening? [06:15] <bazhang> cre8torx, this is not a chat channel.

[06:19] <guido_> hey, I mistakenly installed NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.09-pkg1.run asked me if it should try to make a module, i said yes but now the nvidia drivers don't work and I can only use nv. this is what dmesg|grep NVRM says http://paste.ubuntu.com/30798/ help! [06:19] <jeeves__> is there a way to find out what program caused the last crash that just happened? [06:20] <ankit_> cre8torx: unfortunately, it seems like this is not the case, and "bad monitor" is probably not why he doesn't have compiz working... so, in bazhang's words, please stop. [06:20] <bazhang> lebutcherpc, in system prefs advanced desktop settings [06:20] <jeeves__> ankit_, don't feel bad, I've got a display problem as well! [06:20] <blogi> bazhang: here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/30802/ [06:20] <fyrestrtr> jeeves__: there is a crash monitor in hardy that should pick it up. [06:20] <Bad_Hacker> Bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/30801/ [06:21] <jeeves__> fyrestrtr, well, this system locked up, then hard rebooted back to a cold boot [06:21] <storm-zen> legend2440: Am I to take it, then, that what I'm doing wrong is trying to install grub to (hd2,0) instead of (hd2) ? [06:21] <ankit_> jeeves__: oh, I don't, I was just pointing out to cre8torx that his diagnosis is probably wrong [06:21] <ankit_> what happened to your monitor? [06:22] <jeeves__> ankit_, ahhhh, think you can help me lick this nVidia issue? [06:22] <bazhang> Bad_Hacker, please paste xorg.conf to paste.ubuntu.com [06:22] <lebutcherpc> ok in ther right now [06:22] <Bad_Hacker> alright [06:23] <bazhang> blogi, dont see any wireless in there === sacul is now known as sacul_away [06:23] <blogi> its not wireless [06:23] <blogi> lan card for cable [06:23] <ankit_> jeeves__: I might be be able to, lemme see what I can do [06:23] <storm-zen> legend2440: Installing to (hd2) didn't fix it either. [06:24] <bazhang> blogi, open a terminal and type ifconfig; how many entries two or three [06:24] <blogi> bzhang i just added new lan card...which is 3com [06:24] <ankit_> I need to go off topic for just a second here to point out... FAIL IS cre8torx. yeesh. [06:24] <FunnyLookinHat> Anyone here have any experience with 8.04.1 freezing when it tries to scan disks in the installer? [06:24] <blogi> only eth0 [06:24] <ankit_> FunnyLookinHat: I had that before [06:24] <FunnyLookinHat> ankit_: any solution? [06:24] <bazhang> blogi, and that will not connect; is that the issue? [06:24] <ankit_> FunnyLookinHat: I just rebooted and tried again and it worked [06:25] <blogi> its note detected [06:25] <blogi> its not detected [06:25] <legend2440> storm-zen: are you dual booting windows and ubuntu? [06:25] <jeeves__> ankit_, ok, it's the "common" nVidia issue. artifacts, flashing screen, X freezes, grey screen, etc [06:25] <storm-zen> legend2440: No. There isn't a trace of Windows on the box. [06:25] <ankit_> jeeves__: what card do you have? [06:25] <FunnyLookinHat> ankit_: heh, I hate using the windows "fix-it-all" solution on Linux... but I'll give it a try. [06:25] <bazhang> blogi, this is an external pci card? did you hotplug it or was it in when you started up [06:25] <jeeves__> ankit_, it's a nVidia 7300GO in a Toshiba P100 [06:26] <ankit_> FunnyLookinHat: haha, yea, I have no idea why it does that sometimes, but it just worked eventually... it was frusterating, I had to do it twice or thrice. [06:26] <storm-zen> legend2440: Sorry, that may have sounded a little unfriendly. I'm just frustrated. Been at this for hours. [06:26] <lebutcherpc> thanks for the help [06:26] <blogi> bazhang---yes...i restarted my pc then put my new lan card then reboot [06:26] <legend2440> storm-zen: no problem === AfterDea1h is now known as AfterDeath [06:26] <Bad_Hacker> Bazhang: here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/30804/ [06:26] <ankit_> jeeves__: hm, alright... are your running on the nvidia proprietary drivers? [06:26] <storm-zen> ... last day at this office and it up and fries at 6pm on saturday. [06:26] <kiosk> chatting [06:27] <ankit_> marmelaati: haha, nice comic on your /quit [06:27] <jeeves__> ankit_, if I run the restricted set, it locks up every 45 or so seconds. So I'm using the Envyng set of drivers, and I'm getting some glitches. I've tried running the driver from the nVidia site as well. nothing works. This is the ONLY thing left on the latop to get running. [06:28] <EmmcoRe> Somebody knows the name of the module... [06:28] <EmmcoRe> filename: /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/kernel/sound/soundcore.ko [06:28] <EmmcoRe> alias: char-major-14-* [06:28] <EmmcoRe> license: GPL [06:28] <EmmcoRe> author: Alan Cox [06:28] <EmmcoRe> description: Core sound module [06:28] <FloodBot2> EmmcoRe: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:28] <EmmcoRe> srcversion: 548AA54AF08207316C104F8 [06:28] <jacobu> I have a Dell Latitude D600 with an internal resolution of 1024x768, hooked up to an external VGA monitor with a resolution of 1280x1024. The external monitor shows the screen at 1280x1024, but the gnome toolbars and gdm login window are all only displayed in the top left corner of the screen at the 1024x768 resolution. How can I fix this? I only want to use the external monitor, so I tried disabling the internal screen with xrandr to no avail. Help is m === EmmcoRe is now known as Emm [06:28] <Emm> ¬¬ === Emm is now known as EmmcoRe [06:29] <jeeves__> ankit_, trust me, I've been @ this ALL day today. I FINALLY got everything else running on the unit (sound, etc), and now it's just this video issue [06:29] <ankit_> jeeves__: that's very weird, did you try the nvidia-new drivers in the repositories? [06:29] <fyrestrtr> EmmcoRe: its soundcore [06:29] <blogi> bazhang? [06:30] <bazhang> blogi, pcmcia card? [06:30] <jeeves__> ankit_, I've tried the nvidia-glk, nvidia-glk-new, and nvidia-glk-legacy AND the drivers from the nvidia site, etc. [06:30] <jeeves__> ankit_, ALL of them product the atrifacts, and system lock ups. [06:31] <fyrestrtr> jeeves__: you need to let the hardware wizard find the drivers for you, not guess like that. [06:31] <Bad_Hacker> blogi: patience is virtue...He's a busy person.... [06:31] <jeeves__> fyrestrtr, and how do I do that? [06:31] <ankit_> jeeves__: yea, I agree with fyrestrtr. I think that might have caused some of the issues. [06:31] <ankit_> jeeves__: you go to System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers [06:31] <Bad_Hacker> He's helping alot of others as well. [06:32] <legend2440> storm-zen: can you paste your /boot/grub/menu.lst file [06:32] <legend2440> !paste [06:32] <ubottu> 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) [06:32] <jeeves__> ankit_, I did that when it first fired up, and the drivers it "reccomends" locks the system up and forced a hard reboot [06:32] <bazhang> Bad_Hacker, did you use envyng-gtk? perhaps the logs will tell a tale, though at this point I'm on fumes as ATI is something I dont know a heck of a lot about; also, do you need the 3d stuff for compiz etc or just dont care [06:33] <EmmcoRe> fyrestrtr: matias@Pnomic:~$ modprobe soundcore [06:33] <EmmcoRe> matias@Pnomic:~$ [06:33] <EmmcoRe> nothing happend [06:33] <ankit_> jeeves__: every time? by the way, you don't have to hard reboot, you can: 1. try to restart X (CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE) 2. emergency reboot (Alt+SysRq+ R E I S U B) [06:33] <fyrestrtr> EmmcoRe: you need to run it as sudo, and it doesn't output anything. [06:33] <ankit_> EmmcoRe: modprobe doesn't have an output. [06:33] <fyrestrtr> EmmcoRe: in other words, if nothing happened, something good happened. [06:34] <jeeves__> ankit_, you're right, a better way of saying it is it CRASHES back to a cold boot [06:34] <EmmcoRe> ok [06:34] <fyrestrtr> EmmcoRe: you can verify if its loaded and being used by lsmode | grep soundcode [06:34] <fyrestrtr> err, soundcore [06:34] <Athenon_> ok guys....ive used ubuntu before, but im having a really weird problem this time around (even used the same version before without it happening....on the same computer)....when i use synaptic to install stuff, itll only download a bit and then itll freeze and i have to either wait awhile or restart the synaptic download......how can i fix this? [06:34] <EmmcoRe> ok [06:34] <ankit_> jeeves__: oh, sorry, my fault [06:34] <FunnyLookinHat> ankit_: wouldn't ya know... that fixed it. haha thanks! [06:34] <jeeves__> ankit_, naaa, it was mine, I didn't word it right [06:34] <Bad_Hacker> bazhang: It would be nice to have compiz on, but it is a memory hog, so it does not matter. Also, I have not used " envyng-gtk " is there an install guide for it. [06:34] <Athenon_> its on wireless, but thats the same as last time too -_- [06:34] <ankit_> FunnyLookinHat: yea, it's weird... no problem. [06:35] <jacobu> nm, ignore earlier query, in case anybody cared anyway [06:35] <fyrestrtr> Athenon_: sounds like a problem with your Internet. [06:35] <Athenon_> fyrestrtr: this computer uses the same internet without any issues....even wireless....a tad further away from the router in fact [06:35] <ankit_> jeeves__: hm... I'm not really exceptionally good with video drivers... I've had my share of problems with them, so sorry if I'm not really helping [06:35] <Bad_Hacker> bazhang: i only have 640 mb of ram, so no, I do not need compiz? [06:36] <fyrestrtr> Athenon_: where does it stop? [06:36] <bazhang> Bad_Hacker, mixed opinion on envyng-gtk; it 'works for me', but others dislike it; it does allow for the 3d drivers etc though [06:36] <Athenon_> fyrestrtr: whenever and wherever it feels like....it doesnt stop after a set time or at a set place or anything [06:36] <ankit_> jeeves__: my solution to video driver issues is a reinstall, and letting the auto config work it's magic... but that doesn't seem to be helping you... [06:37] <ankit_> jeeves__: did you try the "nv" driver? [06:37] <fyrestrtr> Athenon_: I meant where in the process does it stop -- refreshing repos, downloading, installing, etc. Or is it random. [06:37] <jeeves__> ankit_, this is a fresh install!! as in less than 2 hours! [06:37] <Athenon_> fyrestrtr: downloading....always downloading :P [06:37] <Athenon_> fyrestrtr: it stops and gives me a download rate of unknown [06:37] <bazhang> iirc the radeonhd non 3d is not bad for ati; again I have nvidia, so that is just from observing here Bad_Hacker [06:38] <ankit_> jeeves__: did you try the "nv" or "nouveau" drivers? [06:38] <storm-zen> legend2440: Sort of... I can type it what I'm trying to start the bootup. In theory, I have access to the network on that box, but I would need some sort of script to get the contents to the pastebin. [06:38] <jeeves__> ankit_, nv driver? do you have a howto on that? [06:38] <fyrestrtr> Athenon_: change your repos [06:38] <bazhang> Athenon_, pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list to paste.ubuntu.com for us to see [06:39] <ankit_> jeeves__: it's an alternative to the proprietary "nvidia" drivers === urbanmonkey is now known as um|zZzZ [06:39] <jeeves__> ankit_, do you have a URL for a howto [06:39] <storm-zen> so much for the console paste idea, I don't have perl in the rescue environment. [06:40] <ankit_> jeeves__: the thing is, do you want accelerated 3D (compiz or games or the like)? [06:40] <ankit_> jeeves__: if you just want a working accelerated 2D solution, those drivers might be the answer. [06:40] <jeeves__> ankit_, yea. that's the problem. what's annoying me is that up untill 2 major releases ago, EVERYTHING worked fine. [06:40] <Athenon_> bazhang: i, erm...cant :S [06:41] <bazhang> Athenon_, why not? [06:41] <Athenon_> bazhang: i cant get a web browser to load to pastebin the thing -_- firefox says its running even though its not....i even did a ps -gaux |grep fire [06:41] <Binho> hi fulks [06:41] <bazhang> Athenon_, can you install pastebinit? [06:41] <Binho> alguém fala português? [06:41] <ankit_> jeeves__: hm, I'm not sure if the nouveau drivers have 3D or not [06:42] <bazhang> !pt | Binho [06:42] <ubottu> Binho: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [06:42] <Athenon_> bazhang: let me check the next time it freezes [06:42] <Binho> thanks!! [06:43] <rexus> hi guys, how can i add a user into a particular group? [06:43] <bazhang> Athenon_, if you can install pastebinit then cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit and tell us the url your terminal shows [06:43] <ankit_> jeeves__: seems like 3D is very very shaky in the nouveau drivers right now, so looks like the nvidia drivers are your only shot at 3D. [06:43] <jeeves__> ankit_, hummm, have 3d and crashes, or put up with 2D. WOW, choices! [06:43] <Athenon_> bazhang: nod, i will. synaptic is currently installing stuff though....although if it doesnt freeze i dont have a problem anymore XD [06:44] <bazhang> Athenon_, okay; just a fyi then :) [06:44] <Athenon_> bazhang: hehe thanks. it hasnt frozen in awhile....my friend suggested to change my mirror, and so far that seems to be working [06:44] <jeeves__> ankit_, well, I guess anything is better than the freezing. how do I install the the drivers? [06:45] <ankit_> jeeves__: you can try uninstalling everything graphics related and then reinstalling the nvidia drivers to see if that helps... maybe some remenants from the various driver installs are causing problems? [06:45] <Bad_Hacker> Anyone know of good open source driver for ATI Radeon 9600 Card. [06:45] <help1234564321> hi I'm trying to play pogo games on ubuntu.... was able to install java 6.0.0.7 java applet starts but does not completely load (applet bail) === i is now known as Guest96549 [06:46] <jeeves__> ankit_, I've tried that allready [06:46] <ankit_> Bad_Hacker: the radeon drivers are pretty decent, arent they? [06:46] <mlLK> anyone know how to exclude a path w/ du? [06:47] <Maco10> Ubuntu piada [06:47] <storm-zen> legend2440: http://paste.ubuntu.com/30812/ (thanks!) [06:47] <help1234564321> can anyone help me? [06:47] <bazhang> Maco10, do you have a support question? [06:48] <student> how do I add users to groups via the command line? [06:48] <Brome> 'gMorning all. I get the package management error "E: dpkg was interruped, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem" However, when I do that I get "too man errors, stopping. dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:252:process_queue: Assertion '!queuelen' Failed. It encounters lots of kde dependancy problems (kde4 I think). Can anybody help me? [06:48] <Bad_Hacker> ankit_: are you talking about Proprietary Drivers? If so, then no, in my case. [06:48] <genii> student: sudo usermod -G newgroupname -a username [06:48] <storm-zen> student: Something like usermod, I believe. [06:48] <blogi> bazhang: blogi, pcmcia card?----whats a pcmcia? [06:49] <ankit_> Bad_Hacker: aren't the radeon drivers the open-source ones? [06:49] <genii> student: The -a is ultra important. If you omit it then "newgroupname" will be the ONLY group the user will belong to [06:49] <storm-zen> genii: I've learned that one the hard way... ... repeatedly. [06:49] <genii> storm-zen: Those are lessons you don't forget easily :) [06:50] <bazhang> blogi, the fact that it is not detected is not an especially good sign; there is nothing in lspci that I can see about it; and as you restarted with the card in (ie not hotplugging when system is running) not sure where to take this [06:50] <Bad_Hacker> they are, but the one's from the ATI/AMD Crew, have issues. [06:50] <ankit_> jeeves__: to install the nv driver, I think all you need is: "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nv", and then change your /etc/X11/xorg.conf driver section for your video card to say "nv" [06:50] <help1234564321> does anyone know why pogo and ubuntu don't work? [06:51] <bazhang> blogi, though if you do see eth0 what does sudo dhclient eth0 return in the terminal (paste output to paste.ubuntu.com , NOT here) [06:51] <Bad_Hacker> ATI/AM = Proprietary Drivers and then you have your Open source drivers. [06:51] <jeeves__> ankit_, thanks man. [06:51] <ankit_> jeeves__: haha, I didn't even fix your problem... [06:52] <blogi> bazhang, does it need any driver to detect of something? [06:53] <bazhang> blogi, you can see eth0 in ifconfig, correct? then try sudo dhclient eth0 and paste output to paste.ubuntu.com (make sure ethernet cable is attached of course) [06:53] <ankit_> Bad_Hacker: I heard good things about the proprietary drivers recently, but I guess not in this instance... I had an ATi Radeon 9600XT and the open source drivers worked fairly tolerably and let me run compiz at a fairly decent FPS. [06:53] <blogi> ok [06:53] <m0u5e> i would like to set my hardware volume control tab to control PCM rather than volume, what is the manual way to do this (config file anywhere?) [06:54] <Bad_Hacker> nice for you. [06:54] <blogi> bazhang, http://paste.ubuntu.com/30814/ [06:54] <m0u5e> weird [06:54] <m0u5e> it works now [06:54] <m0u5e> nvm guys :D [06:54] <m0u5e> coming to #ubuntu must automatically fix stuff lol [06:54] <ankit_> m0u5e: System -> Preferences -> Sound, default mixer tracks [06:55] <m0u5e> ankit_: there seems to just have been a delay, thx though, it works now :D [06:55] <Brome> Anybody? I'm afraid my whole dpkg is fried... [06:55] <legend2440> storm-zen: sorry i can't tell much from that. not really familiar with Centos. have you tried googling grub error 16? [06:55] <bazhang> blogi, there is a lease; it should be connected to the internet now [06:55] <m0u5e> ankit_: also, do you know how to set so my volume is relative to a percentage system, rather than each step being logarithmically louder? [06:56] <blogi> bazhang, my eth0 is fine...but my new lan card wont detect [06:56] <legend2440> storm-zen: perhaps someone in channel #centos would know [06:56] <bazhang> blogi, new lan card? wired? [06:56] <raghu> hiiiiiiiiiiii im unable to take snapshot by pressing print screen [06:57] <raghu> can someone help [06:57] <blogi> bazhang, i have two lan card eth0 and it should be eth1 (my new lan card) [06:57] <ankit_> m0u5e: I thought it was a linear percentage increase as opposed to logarithmic, but I'm not sure. the on-screen display makes it seem like it is.

[06:59] <blogi> its so tiresome to change between cables just to switch to local and internet..hehehe [07:00] <m0u5e> ankit_: yeah i guess it works for now... just don't understand why it would ever be set to a log scale, not very practical for users [07:00] <bazhang> blogi, good luck to you.

Was hoping for something common to linux. [07:01] <ankit_> rexus: yes. [07:01] <fairywings> i think so rexus. just make sure to create a new directory in /opt for it [07:01] <genii> student: You're welcome. Use wisely :) [07:01] <arooni> is there a way to make audacious gigantic? also is there a way for it to have cool visualization effects (like winamp does .. that can full screen or big ? )? [07:02] <rexus> so I cannot use the synaptic package manager then? [07:02] <ankit_> rexus: sudo apt-get install firefox-2 [07:02] <havocstorm> does anyone else have the problem where their firefox crashes when trying to play falsh files? [07:02] <ankit_> rexus: or search for firefox-2 in synaptic, if you prefer the GUI [07:02] <bazhang> blogi, please address questions in the channel so others can help; as I said I have no idea how to help you at this point. Good Luck. [07:03] <rexus> ankit_ I already have firefox 3 installed , currently I'm using 8.04 [07:03] <blogi> ohhh...i thought it would be a driver problem :( [07:03] <ankit_> rexus: I'm fairly sure if you install the firefox-2 package, you can choose between firefox 2 and 3... they should have different entries in the Applications -> Internet menu [07:04] <ankit_> rexus: I'm actually just installing firefox-2 myself [07:05] <Raheem> !inf Opera [07:05] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about inf opera [07:05] <Raheem> !opera [07:05] <ubottu> opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser.

I have to open gnome-calculator every time i want to do a calculation [07:07] <akhil_> or probably something like Sticky notes [07:07] <Bad_Hacker> brb [07:07] <wbmj> akhil: you can add gnome-calculator [07:07] <ankit_> rexus: works great, I can choose between firefox-2 and firefox-3 in the menu, firefox-3 is still the default. the settings are shared between them... even tab sessions, which is pretty cool. [07:07] <akhil_> wbmj, Is there any option to always load it in scientific mode? [07:07] <icesword> nickrud, hi, MR.

[07:09] <ryan_> no [07:09] <ankit_> rexus: no, I used the command-line and apt-get, but it's the same thing... synaptic is just a front-end for apt-get, so you can use either. [07:09] <osmosis> how can I install just a single packages from intrepid? (Im on hardy) [07:09] <jacobu> Anybody know how to save the current configuration as set by xrandr? [07:10] <bazhang> #ubuntu+1 for that osmosis === XXX is now known as Bad_Hacker [07:10] <amenado> rexus-> look into using update-alternatives for allowing you to have choices of which firefox to use [07:10] <ryan_> i am just try to install a theme but i cannot copy or paste into the themes folder [07:10] <wbmj> ryan_: left click on folder ;;;; go to properties [07:10] <ryan_> ok [07:10] <ryan_> im there [07:10] <ankit_> amenado: that's only if he wants to change the default, otherwise just installing should be fine to use both [07:10] <rexus> amenado: where is that update-alternatives? [07:10] <wbmj> ryan_ most themes are drag and drop [07:11] <ankit_> rexus: do you want firefox-2 to be your default browser? [07:11] <Bubsy> does anyone know a good guide for setting up tv tuner cards? [07:11] <ryan_> ok i do that and then nothing happens [07:11] <ryan_> just to let u know im new but rlly intrested in ubuntu [07:11] <amenado> ankit_-> using update-alternatives gives a cleaner way to choose which firefox to use does it not? [07:11] <rexus> ankit_: no.. [07:12] <bazhang> ryan_, then it is a poorly written theme; try imetal for gnome from gnome-look.org [07:12] <amenado> rexus-> man update-alternatives or google for how create the menu choices..i dont know the details off hand [07:12] <ankit_> amenado: no, installing the firefox-3 and firefox-2 packages in 8.04 gives two seperate options in the menu, so you can choose between... update-alternatives doesn't even work with firefox actually [07:13] <ankit_> rexus: then you don't need to tinker update-alternatives. just install firefox-2 and then you should be fine. [07:13] <amenado> ankit_-> why would it not work, is the symlinks pointing to the correct firefox? [07:13] <ryan_> ok i will i am using Hardy-Mariux 2.0 [07:13] <rexus> ankit_: let me try your way first [07:13] <bazhang> ryan_, what distro is that [07:13] <ryan_> ubuntu hardy 8.04 [07:14] <wbmj> ankit : if you open Preferred Applications ... select custom and change the command to firefox-2 it will be the default [07:14] <bazhang> oh the theme [07:14] <ankit_> amenado: I tried a update-alternatives firefox and it said no alternatives [07:14] <ankit_> amenado: wbmj's solution is much easier and better.

[07:28] <bazhang> rexus, remove quiet and splash from boot parameters [07:28] <Bad_Hacker> bazhang: I uninstalled the "proprietary drivers" so its running without the 3D fx's. Now, I will check to see if the "blank" bug will happen? It's now a waiting game? [07:28] <rexus> where can i find the boot parameters? [07:29] <Bubsy> genii: does that mean the card won't work? [07:29] <dlozarie> nvm, figured the stacks thing out. one more question: how come my icons are doubled in AWN? like, if i have Filezilla open it shows two filezilla icons even though only one window is really open? [07:29] <bazhang> Bad_Hacker, good luck; will troubleshoot more if that does not do it [07:29] <cxo> thanks [07:29] <genii> Bubsy: I would say so, yes [07:29] <Tsukasa-Ujiie> dlozarie: do you ahve the link to that osX thing u were talkign about earlier?

[07:31] <bazhang> rexus, to see the setup sequence on boot? do you need to boot to see the boot sequence? is that your question? [07:31] <Tsukasa-Ujiie> dlozarie: was it hard or require many downlaods? [07:31] <dlozarie> anyway do you guys know exactly why AWN doubles my icons?like, if i have Filezilla open it shows two filezilla icons even though only one window is really open? [07:32] <sirjoebob> hello all. i am having some wireless problems. i can connect to almost any network just fine but i cant connect to networks with weaker signals. i could when i was running windows and i know the networks are live, just wont connect when signal is weaker. any ideas?

Synaptic won't work, and it won't matter after you reinstall either. [07:53] <arrenlex> giacomo: Do you? Where did it come from? What does "dpkg -S libssh.so" say? [07:53] <Flannel> Bsims: Repos for EOL versions aren't around anymore. [07:53] <arrenlex> giacomo: What does "file /usr/lib/libssh.so" say?

[07:53] <Flannel> kuber_: Upgrade first, then worry about mysql [07:53] <kuber_> then my first step is to update the version of ubuntu [07:53] <kuber_> its ok [07:53] * Bsims nods [07:53] <Flannel> kuber_: yep [07:54] <kuber_> sir i didnt have the update cd [07:54] <simi> anyone compiled a custom kernel here? [07:54] <Flannel> kuber_: Do you have a blank CD? [07:54] <cordoban> #ubuntu-gr [07:54] <arrenlex> simi: I have, what's your question? [07:54] <kuber_> is it available in nepal [07:54] <kuber_> ya [07:54] <simi> hi, i compiled my own kernel(build my drivers and other required module into kernel), i tried 3 difrent .configure (in some i do not disable any modules) Problem is that i do not have sound or network driver [07:54] <giacomo> arrenlex: it says: "broken sybolic link to 'usr/local/lib/libssh.so' [07:54] <Flannel> kuber_: It is. http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [07:54] <Bsims> Flannel: ya ever use screen? [07:55] <Flannel> Bsims: I'm using it right now. [07:55] <arrenlex> giacomo: So in other words, you tried to install it manually, and you didn't do it right. :) [07:55] <Bsims> Flannel: http://home.insightbb.com/~bmsims1/Scripts/Screenrc.html [07:55] <Bsims> Take a look at my screenrc and see if you like it [07:55] <giacomo> arrenlex: i failed?!?!?! [07:55] <Flannel> Bsims: (old archives are technically still around, just moved to a single server for archival purposes) [07:55] <kuber_> which version i have to download sir?> [07:55] * Bsims nods noted [07:55] <arrenlex> giacomo: Well, your symlink is broken, that doesn't sound like success to me. [07:55] <kuber_> desktop edition or server edition? [07:55] <Flannel> kuber_: desktop [07:55] <Bsims> desktop will work [07:56] <cwillu> giacomo, it looks like you tried to install it by hand (not via apt or synaptic), or build it from source [07:56] <kuber_> ok [07:56] * Bsims grrs and considers filing a minor bug about nvidia-settings... should ask for sudo password [07:56] <cwillu> simi, did you do make oldconfig? [07:57] <giacomo> well how might i be able to install this libssh.so without so much failure? [07:57] <cwillu> Bsims, you can just run it with a parameter in your login script, and it'll work without modifying xorg [07:57] <kuber_> oh its too large [07:57] <kuber_> in size [07:57] <arrenlex> giacomo: First of all, what software do you need it for? Secondly, what does "file /usr/local/lib/libssh.so" say/ [07:58] <cwillu> giacomo, what do you need it for? [07:58] <simi> cwillu: yes, i do that one time, other time configured manualy the .config because the menu config saved a file with fewer lines [07:58] <giacomo> ahhh, it can't open it... (no such file or directory) [07:59] <arrenlex> giacomo: What software do you need it for? [07:59] <cwillu> simi, which kernel are you compiling? (and as long as I'm asking, why are you compiling a kernel?) [07:59] <kuber_> sir i think canonical provides free cd [07:59] <simi> cwillu: can you tell me what logs should i look in , what coomands to do to find out what could be the problem [07:59] <kuber_> can i get that latest ubunt from their? [07:59] <Bsims> cwillu: its not even that, its editing a menu item [07:59] <ujos> hello [07:59] <bazhang> kuber_, yes from shipit [07:59] <cwillu> giacomo, libssh2 is probably the package you need [07:59] <simi> cwillu: the 2.6.24 from hard repos [07:59] <arrenlex> !hu | ujos [07:59] <ubottu> ujos: Magyar nyelvű segítséget az #ubuntu-hu csatornán talál [08:00] <arrenlex> !hi | ujos [08:00] <ubottu> ujos: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [08:00] <arrenlex> lol [08:00] <Bsims> kuber_: Yess adn they will mail it to you free of charge [08:00] <kuber_> please provide their url [08:00] <kuber_> so that i can order [08:00] <giacomo> arrenlex: i was messing around with hydra, [08:00] <Flannel> !np | kuber_ [08:00] <ubottu> kuber_: The Nepali Ubuntu Local Community is in #ubuntu-np - Also see: http://wiki.ubuntu.org.np [08:00] <Ben-G-> Man Ubuntu/Linux is OWNAGE //sry for spam ^^ [08:00] <Bsims> kuber_: https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ [08:00] <Flannel> kuber_: You might ask the nepali Loco team, they might be able to get you one sooner. [08:00] <cwillu> giacomo, if you're trying to compile a package that's not in the repositories, try to install all of its dependencies via synaptic as much as possible [08:01] <cwillu> giacomo, so for instance, if it needs libssh2, then you'd search for that in synaptic, and install any -dev packages you find [08:01] <kuber_> thanks for your help [08:01] <cwillu> giacomo, libssh2-1-dev and libssh-2-dev, in this case [08:01] <giacomo> cwillu: one of hydra's dependencies is libssh v0.11 [08:01] <simi> cwillu: i compile a kernel to build my driver in to increase the performance [08:01] <giacomo> i think i have those installed already cwillu [08:01] <cwillu> giacomo, .11 exactly, or just that or better? [08:02] <giacomo> exactly cwillu [08:02] <cwillu> which? [08:02] <Bsims> giacomo: also apt-get install checkinstall [08:02] <giacomo> v0.11 [08:02] <russ> bazhang timidity works just fine thanks [08:02] <cwillu> simi, where did you get the idea that compiling your own kernel would increase performance? [08:02] <Bsims> giacomo: it will make you a deb [08:02] <cwillu> simi, i.e., are you adding any patches? [08:02] <giacomo> bsims, i've already run make install, will it matter at this point? [08:02] <bazhang> np [08:02] <cwillu> Bsims, giacomo, try to stay away from checkinstall, it's deprecated as far as I know [08:03] <Bsims> giacomo: Hrm might [08:03] <cwillu> giacomo, do you know that it won't work with libssh2-1-dev? [08:03] <TAT> HAY CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT [08:03] <giacomo> i dont think so... i just need the libssh.so... i guess i could just download it and put it in the right place [08:03] <simi> cwillu: i do not add patches just my drivers like scsi acpi VFAT, FUSE i build them into the kernel, [08:03] <Bsims> in fact probly giacomo [08:03] <TAT> sorry about the caps [08:03] <bazhang> TAT, no caps [08:03] <Bsims> giacomo: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/ch-first.en.html#s-dh_make [08:03] <bazhang> TAT, need a question [08:03] <simi> cwillu: maybe i should seitch to gentoo [08:03] <aaa> 我靠 不会全是老外把 没人会说中文 [08:03] <cwillu> simi, there's no practical difference between the performance of using modules vs the performance of compiling them straight in, [08:04] <bazhang> !cn | aaa [08:04] <ubottu> aaa: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [08:04] <giacomo> cwillu: i KNOW that it needs libssh v0.11 [08:04] <Bsims> giacomo: and then run dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot [08:04] <cwillu> simi, except that when you compile them in, you're forced to use that memory, which may be a waste in many many cases [08:04] <aaa> 33ks [08:04] <bazhang> np [08:04] <tv7497> bazhang: my server is broken :'( [08:04] <simi> cwillu: but at boot speed? that modules are loaded at boot speed, and it must be some slight performance if i optimize the kernel for my intel pentium cpu [08:05] <Bsims> giacomo: try make uninstall and then follow the instructions in the link I sent you [08:05] <cwillu> simi, not really, no [08:05] <cwillu> simi, the generic kernel already has pentium optimizations in [08:05] <bazhang> TAT, ask questions in channel not in PM; that way others can help too [08:05] <TAT> is there any other salutions besides vmware [08:06] <cwillu> and at boot speed, there's at most a second or two's difference in not using an initrd (which you'll probably still be using, to support any other hardware you may add) [08:06] <TAT> it says it wont work on my system [08:06] <bazhang> !vm | TAT [08:06] <ubottu> TAT: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [08:06] <Muntrue> Good morning [08:06] <arrenlex> simi: lol, are you trying to make your system faster by recompiling your kernel? Honestly, it's the gentoo condradiction... any microscopic gains in performance will be cancelled out a hundred times by the hour you spend compiling it. The kernel is already very optimised; don't bother, it doesn't help. [08:06] <Muntrue> Anyone know of a way to change application titles ? [08:06] <simi> cwillu: from the .config of the generic kernel it is not optimized for pentium [08:06] <cwillu> simi, ubuntu's -generic kernel is, yes [08:07] <sirex> when a game such as enemy territory crashes (or in m case, trys a res you dont have) and you kill the process, you lose control of your mouse. is there a command you can do to regain control of it ? [08:07] <TAT> were do i go about geting kqem and the others is it on the ubuntu web site or shall i google it [08:07] <PucKid> good morning (: [08:07] <Bsims> sirex: ctrl-alt-backspace will restart X... thats kind of a crude way to do it though [08:07] <arrenlex> !kqemu | TAT [08:07] <ubottu> TAT: kqemu is a kernel module (now free under the GPL license) for speeding up the !QEMU virtual machine. Installation instructions can be found at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/KQEmu [08:07] <sirex> yea, that's what im doing at the moment, but it is a bit, erm, crude. [08:07] <cwillu> sirex, Bsims there's a command you can turn on to force ungrab (ctrl+alt+* or something) [08:08] <cwillu> there's probably a util to do it too, although I can't recall the name right now [08:08] <ffiarpg> I am currently trying to get my Tablet PC functions working properly in Linux to take notes in college. I use a Gateway E-295C (C-140x) Tablet PC and I am currently running Ubuntu 8.04. I have tried a few things from several tutorials on line without any luck. If anyone has any experience with this I would greatly appreciate it as it is the only reason I still require Vista. [08:08] <Bsims> hrm dunno [08:08] * Bsims is off for a bit [08:08] <TAT> is it an installer perhaps not to good with this terminal stuff atm.. [08:08] <Muntrue> Anyone know of a way to change application titles ? [08:09] <arrenlex> ffiarpg: I run linux successfully on my tablet; I had to mess with xorg.conf a while to do it though. [08:09] <Lvl21nerd> someone help me out with Teamspeak on ubuntu 8.04? [08:09] <arrenlex> ffiarpg: Do you have any experience\familiarity with the xorg.conf file? [08:09] <sirex> ok ill crash it now and stab buttons see what works [08:10] <ffiarpg> arrenlex I have tried adding a few entries, Input Devices, and a few things to the server layout section as well [08:10] <simi> is mysql requird in kubuntu? who uses it? can i stop it to start or remove it? [08:10] <Kitu> normally yes simi [08:10] <cwillu> giacomo, hydra-5.4? [08:11] <tv7497> guys me using a lamp home server for 2 and a half month nothing went wrong in this period for past few days nothing seems to work i thought must be with DYDNS but even http://ip address is not working really need help guys plz help if it works kindly info me http://tv.kicks-ass.org/tv or http://122.167.101.67/tv [08:11] <anparks> how can i turn off my monitor from the terminal? [08:11] <cwillu> anparks, man vbetool [08:11] <arrenlex> ffiarpg: This is the xorg.conf file that works for me... I think you only care about the stuff after DRI mode 0666. Let me know if you need some more help. http://arrenlex.ls.la/xorg.conf [08:11] <ffiarpg> arrenlex one guide suggested i add one for stylus, eraser, and one other that i forget atm, another guide says that 8.04 only requires the stylus entry, one guide says that the device is /dev/input/wacom, another says it is dev/SS04 or something, i can check bookmarks if need be. [08:11] <cwillu> anparks, and DISPLAY=:0 xset, man xset [08:11] <Muntrue> Anyone know of a way to change application titles ? [08:11] <ffiarpg> arrenlex ill give that a quick look thanks for uploading it [08:12] <arrenlex> ffiarpg: Actually that page doesn't load for me, does it load for you? [08:12] <ffiarpg> arrenlex it doesnt :P [08:12] <Kitu> tv7497, only http://ip works ?

Did you have to install wacom-tools [08:13] <sirex> i've tried ctrl-alt- and everykey on the keyboard. nothign got mouse back [08:13] <arrenlex> ffiarpg: It's a toshiba r20. Yes, the pen is wacom. I had to install\upgrade wacom-tools to get pen rotation working. [08:13] <giacomo> cwillu: c [08:13] <Kitu> tv7497, you don't have domain name ? [08:13] <ffiarpg> arrenlex did you have to install or update anything to get simple cursor movement working or only xorg.conf editing? [08:13] <tv7497> Kitu: http://122.167.101.67 what i didnt get you i hand a domain name in dydns [08:14] <Kitu> i must understand bad [08:14] <tv7497> had* [08:14] <arrenlex> ffiarpg: It was a while ago but I think it was only xorg.conf. === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [08:14] <d343k> hey can anyone help me with grub images [08:14] <Kitu> hum [08:14] <Imaginal> I have VMware server on 8.04, but can't get internet on the virtual machine (host has wireless).

[08:16] <d343k> its just not reading that type of file or somthing [08:16] <giacomo> cwillu: am i crazy? am i missing something?

Mine's over serial so ttyS0 is the right one for me, and that's what's in xorg.conf. I suggest trying both ways. I have never seen /dev/input/wacom before but that doesn't mean anything, there's a lot of things I haven't seen before. [08:18] <giacomo> cwillu: thanks for the help [08:18] <Kitu> tv7497, yes the ping works [08:18] <Kitu> but http [08:18] <Kitu> on 122.167.101.67 === allen is now known as silly [08:18] <dee> how can i manage it in a bash-script to get "$YEAR_$MONTH" to "2008_08" where YEAR and MONTH has been set before? [08:18] <Kitu> it doesn't work [08:18] <Kitu> at least y can't accede it [08:18] <cwillu> giacomo, one thing I want to point out is that downloading a binary library that a tool of such provenance is rather sketchy from a security standpoint [08:19] <c0mp13371331337> I'm thinking about getting a low-end fingerprint scanner for my system. I've currently got my eyes on the APC USB scanner. Does anyone have any experience with this or fingerprint scanners in general? Trying to get a feel for how well they're supported at this point. Pros? Cons? Caveats? [08:19] <arrenlex> dee_: Do you want to put 2008_08 into another variable? Print it on the command line? What? [08:19] <dee> arrenlex: use it for some other file operations like sed, cp, etc. [08:19] <giacomo> cwillu: hmmm, you mean as it's outdated and may have security holes or something? [08:19] <sirex> c0mp13371331337, yea, overall, their rubbish. [08:20] <cwillu> giacomo, no, more that it could include backdoors [08:20] <Kitu> tv7497, or maybe an iptables tule on your local system, at least if http server work on 122.167.101.67 [08:20] <cwillu> if it's on the path, it might get picked up by other applications [08:20] <c0mp13371331337> sirex: That bad, eh? [08:20] <fyrestrtr> c0mp13371331337: the one on my laptop works great, but I haven't figured out how to store more than one fingerprint yet. [08:20] <Kitu> rule* === gardar`afk is now known as gardar [08:20] <dee> arrenlex: the problem is the underscore. It's recognied as part of YEAR. [08:20] <tv7497> Kitu: you mean http://ip adress works ? [08:20] <arrenlex> dee: This worked for me: MY="${MONTH}_${YEAR}" [08:20] <giacomo> cwillu: i see [08:20] <Kitu> yes tv7497 === Mez is now known as Mez|Moving [08:20] <dee> ah, some brackets... I will test it, thanks. [08:20] <c0mp13371331337> fyrestrtr: So basically only one user can ever be authenticated by fingerprint on the system? [08:20] <giacomo> cwillu: would it be better not to mess with it? [08:20] <Kitu> it's the reale ip 122.167.101.67 ? [08:21] <ffiarpg> arrenlex: what do the lines "Section "DRI"         Mode    0666 EndSection" do? [08:21] <fyrestrtr> c0mp13371331337: no, you can have multiple users, but only one digit per user afaik [08:21] <dee> arrenlex: work's fine. Thanks! :) [08:21] <cwillu> giacomo, there are other tools available, but I'd definately try to stick to trustable sources, or else keep that binary contained on a seperate machine [08:21] <tv7497> Kitu: thank god i need to screw those dydns guys [08:21] <cwillu> (vm, or whatever) [08:22] <Scorp_> I need help regarding CGI Scripts on Ubuntu. My router uses .cgi files which dont run on Firefox and Opera both. What should i do ?? [08:22] <sirex> arg.... gimmi my mouse back xorg, or i'll slay you with the backspace ! [08:22] <cwillu> sirex, eh? [08:23] <c0mp13371331337> fyrestrtr: I see, gotcha. How well does it integrate into the system? For example, is it just GDM and perhaps some gnome-keyring type things? Or can it also cover sudo commands, firefox master password (or individual sites...) and the like? [08:23] <arrenlex> ffiarpg: I don't know, actually. DRI is the direct rendering infrastructure, i.e. it's the magical layer that lets graphics be accelerated by the graphics card and not drawn in slow software. Mode 666 looks like a permissions mask but I don't know what one would be doing here... as a permissions it means read\write but no execute to everyone. [08:23] <arrenlex> ffiarpg: Google I guess. [08:23] <arrenlex> ffiarpg: In any case, it's definitely not tablet related, it's 3d accel related. [08:23] <narothepharoh> #pokerth [08:23] <cwillu> arrenlex, ffiarpg, dri creates a device accessible in /dev. Those are the permissions set on that device [08:23] <Kitu> tv7497, it's not dyNdns ? [08:23] <cwillu> aka, who can mess with dri [08:24] <fyrestrtr> c0mp13371331337: it covers sudo and login, but not the screensaver. [08:24] <cwillu> (regardless of access to the server, iirc) [08:24] <arrenlex> cwillu: Thanks, that's useful to know... so I was close to right :D [08:24] <fyrestrtr> c0mp13371331337: your prompt changes to 'Password or swipe finger:' [08:24] <sirex> be back, gonna kill xorg. ;-( [08:24] <ffiarpg> arrenlex: alright thanks, ill go ahead and leave that out then as my dedicated ati graphics are working perfectly, thanks again for uploading your xorg.conf file [08:24] <giacomo> oh hey, while im here, i've got some questions about port forwarding...

My router uses .cgi files which dont run on Firefox and Opera both. What should i do ?? [08:25] <Kitu> tv7497, in fact i understand your problem now [08:25] <cwillu> Scorp_, cgi where? [08:25] <c0mp13371331337> fyrestrtr: X-) Ouch, screensaver + locked screen is my main security protocol. I suppose I'll hold off, let the support ripen a bit. Many thanks! [08:25] <tv7497> Kitu: eh??? [08:25] <fyrestrtr> Scorp_: this is not a problem that Ubuntu can fix. [08:25] <cwillu> Scorp_, cgi's are run on the server, firefox/opera only ever see the output of that (which is just like any other webpage) [08:25] <Kitu> tv7497, you must install dns server to connect you on http://ip from internet [08:25] <OldSage> Hey I have a question... [08:25] <Kitu> only from internet tv7497 [08:26] <Kitu> in LAN it work on ip [08:26] <cwillu> Scorp_, if your router (dlink, linksys, whatever?) doesn't work under firefox/opera, then it's broken [08:26] <Scorp_> cwillu: The linksys router uses setup.cgi files which dont work on both firefox and opera. They run normally even on a PDA and other windows laptops [08:26] <OldSage> Is there any advantage to using the 64bit version over the 32 version of Ubuntu? [08:26] <giacomo> i use portforwarding for bittorrent, but whenever i use bittorrent, it kills all http traffic on my network... i can still use some internet things such as pidgin, but i can't browse websites and neither can anyone on my network [08:26] <giacomo> am i doing it wrong? [08:26] <cwillu> Scorp_, in some cases, you can tell firefox/opera to pretend to be internet explorer, which solves some of those problems (broken websites) [08:26] <keri> hello i would like some help, i have digital camera and i have f-spot and digikam on here and f-spot is where my pictures goes to and i would like them to go to digikam how can i do this? [08:26] <Scorp_> cwillu: how do i do that ??? [08:27] <cwillu> Scorp_, otherwise, it's possible to install internetexplorer via wine, although that's not really supported. But seriously, your router's design is broken, and it'd be best to not give the manufacturer any more money in the future [08:27] <arrenlex> OldSage: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit#Pros_and_cons [08:27] <cwillu> there's no reason in this day and age to make a consumer router that doesn't work with firefox [08:27] <OldSage> thanks [08:27] <c0mp13371331337> OldSage: 64 will run much better on a 64bit processor, but 64bit application support is a bit lacking (but getting there....) You'll need 64 if you want to run any more than 4GB (3.2GB, actually) of RAM. [08:27] <cwillu> Scorp_, having said all that, what brand and model of router? [08:27] <Scorp_> cwillu: Linksys is supposed to be the biggest designer of router world over. Its design wont possibly be broken. [08:28] <arrenlex> OldSage: The short answer is, "not enough that the compatibility problems won't be much worse than the tiny performance gains" [08:28] <tv7497> Kitu: i asked them how but they said opt for any DNS service provider [08:28] <cwillu> Scorp_, is it a linksys? [08:28] <Scorp_> cwillu: Yea... Linksys WAG200G [08:28] <arrenlex> c0mp13371331337: Why would 64-bit run much better than 32-bit on a 64-bit processor? [08:28] <Amun> hrmm [08:28] <cwillu> Scorp_, and if it works in ie, and doesn't in ff, it's broken [08:28] <Amun> recompiling the kernel sucks. too many options. [08:28] <arrenlex> c0mp13371331337: Additionally, the -server kernel supports 4GB of ram, in 32-bit mode. [08:28] <Scorp_> cwillu: it works well with firefox on windows OS.. [08:28] <Scorp_> :( [08:28] <cwillu> one sec [08:29] <Kitu> tv7497, i don't know [08:29] <cwillu> linksys is usually pretty good about this stuff (the wrt54g actually ran linux for a long time, and you can still buy models that support it) [08:30] <cwillu> Scorp_, what error do you see? [08:30] <Kitu> tv7497, in reading RFC DNS maybe [08:30] <Scorp_> cwillu: wrt54g is the base model of this one... [08:30] <keri> hello i would like some help, i have digital camera and i have f-spot and digikam on here and f-spot is where my pictures goes to and i would like them to go to digikam how can i do this [08:30] <Scorp_> cwillu: there's no error... when i enter the username and password, the page shows its loading, but doesnt. It actually should forward to another page, which doesnt happen.. [08:30] <cwillu> Scorp_, wag200g is the adsl model one, right? [08:30] <tv7497> kiokie thanx for your time sir :) [08:30] <Scorp_> cwillu: yeah... [08:30] <c0mp13371331337> arrenlex: The 64bit version is made to take advantage of a 64bit processor, so it would stand to reason that it would run better than the 32bit version on the same processor. [08:31] <cwillu> okay, it's not really related to the wrt54g [08:31] <Kitu> tv7497, sorry i'm a stupid french beginner who believe know all [08:31] <Kitu> :) [08:31] <OldSage> So basically, unless I have a pressing need to go to 64Bit... its not worth the trouble eh? [08:31] <cwillu> Scorp_, it prompts for a password, right? [08:31] <Scorp_> cwillu: i had the wrt54g earlier, but just to remove the dsl modem i bought this one.. [08:31] <Scorp_> cwillu: yes, it prompts for that [08:32] <Scorp_> but after that it doesnt load the next page... which is setup.htm, after setup.cgi.. [08:32] <arrenlex> c0mp13371331337: 64-bit isn't like another core, it doesn't offer direct performance advantages. Some programs can benefit from being able to do math in 64 bit of precision, but these are specially designed high performance apps that have to be tuned for it. Other than that, all you'll notice is crushing incompaibilities with 32-bit only software, and bigger binaries due to swollen pointers. [08:32] <Scorp_> cwillu: the setup.cgi script is to load setup.htm page with the required inputs i guess... that doesnt happen.. [08:33] <cwillu> Scorp_, setup.cgi is what you get redirected to when you go directly to http://192.168.1.1/? [08:33] <cwillu> (or whichever the ip is) [08:33] <Scorp_> cwillu: yeah... [08:33] <cwillu> odd that it redirects you immediately [08:34] <OldSage> Well I guess that answers that [08:34] <OldSage> Thanks for the help [08:35] <vipaca> Im so tired of the default terminals in gnome does anyone have a suggestion? [08:35] <Muntrue> Hello, i downloaded firefox-3.0 from the backports. its working great so-far but im wondering how i can enable the firefox-mplayer plugin for firefox-3.0. Anyone knows ? [08:35] <cwillu> Scorp_, what happens if you just go to http://192.168.1.1/setup.htm directly? [08:36] <Scorp_> that page opens, but it doesnt have the right field values cuz those arent supplied by the CGI page.. [08:36] <Scorp_> cwillu: that page opens, but it doesnt have the right field values cuz those arent supplied by the CGI page.. So the fields are there but blank. [08:37] <fyrestrtr> Scorp_: this is not a problem that you can solve from Ubuntu. Its a problem with your router. [08:37] <fyrestrtr> vipaca: rxvt [08:39] <keri> hello i would like to know how to make digikam my default where my pciture goes from my camera. they go to f-spot no [08:39] <lari> I need help [08:40] <lari> When i start the a song says me : failed to connect stream : invalid argument [08:40] <cwillu> Scorp_, http://www.linksysinfo.org/forums/showthread.php?t=55250 [08:41] <lari> What i have to do? [08:41] <keri> can i get a little help please [08:42] <cwillu> fyrestrtr, if Scorp_ comes back (and you notice him), can you tell him to access the router via https, and it should start working? [08:42] <jdbart> is there a way to make my laptop moniter not come on when it's closed and i push the multimedia buttons on the front?

[08:48] <cwillu> keri, if it's not greyed out, then select something there, and then disable the import on the other thing [08:48] <dlozarie> hi, it's me again. I'm trying to add a launcher for firefox in AWN, and it's asking for a command for firefox. I type in 'firefox' right? :) [08:49] <muntrue_> Hi, i have installed firefox-3.0 from the backports. Now im wondering how to enable the mplayer plugin for it. Anyone that can help ? [08:49] <g00se> Sam__: Pity. Thanks [08:49] <cwillu> muntrue_, probably need to see if the backports have a backported version of it [08:49] <cwillu> muntrue_, which version of ubuntu are you on? [08:49] <muntrue_> cwillu, 7.10 I checked the backports for mplayer plugin for 3.0 but no luck [08:50] <g00se> Sam__: Is there no USB installer per se - i.e. one that can be used outside netboot?

I'm trying to add a launcher for firefox in AWN, and it's asking for a command for firefox. I type in 'firefox' right? :) [08:52] <hajiki> hey guys how come ubuntuforums.org looks so ugly in firefox?? how can i fix it?? [08:52] <g00se> cwillu: Makes sense [08:52] <cwillu> g00se, ...which will work fine, as there's nothing eeepc specific until ubuntu is actually installed [08:52] <unop> dlozarie, yes [08:52] <hajiki> here have a look: http://img243.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=45090_lol_123_337lo.jpg [08:52] <arrenlex> g00se: There's a windows-based installer, does that help at all?

[08:53] <cwillu> I didn't even have fspot installed anymore, so this is taking a few moments :p [08:53] <arrenlex> Hajiki: I don't think ubuntuforums.org supports firefox, I think it's an ie only site. [08:53] <g00se> arrenlex: No, thanks. I've got Etch on one disk right now. Just about to install 2nd HD. No CD [08:53] <arrenlex> Hajiki: ( = p ) [08:53] <keri> cwillu: when i turned my camera on it went to digikam just nothing happen [08:53] <cwillu> hajiki, can you post a screenshot to photobucket or something? [08:54] <arrenlex> g00se: Mmm... you could netboot. [08:54] <arrenlex> cwillu: He did: http://img243.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=45090_lol_123_337lo.jpg [08:54] <hajiki> http://img243.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=45090_lol_123_337lo.jpg [08:54] <arvind_khadri> arrenlex, sites arent browser specific [08:54] <g00se> arrenlex: Messy [08:54] <hajiki> arrenlex: that was a bad joke [08:54] <cwillu> missed it :p [08:54] <arrenlex> arvind_khadri: what do you mean, sites aren't browser specific? [08:55] <muntrue_> cwillu, Fixed, i had to make a link between firefox 2 plugins and firefox 3 plugins [08:55] <cwillu> hajiki, do you have user-agent-switcher installed? or some equivalent plugin? [08:56] <arvind_khadri> arrenlex, you said ubuntuforums arent supported by FF ... i use to see them of FF [08:56] <hajiki> mmm let me check [08:56] <g00se> I've got an Etch floppy installer - wonder if i can hack it? [08:56] <cwillu> arvind_khadri, he was joking [08:57] <hajiki> cwillu: nope, i dont have user-agent-switcher [08:57] <cwillu> hajiki, for what it's worth, it shows up fine on my machine [08:57] <genii> g00se: Just use it then go to debbootstrap way onto hd specifying ubuntu and not debian etch [08:57] <arrenlex> Hajiki: What does the last field on this page say? http://www.thismachine.info/ [08:57] <arvind_khadri> cwillu, oh ok ... i just entered and saw that... [08:57] <cwillu> hajiki, can you try opening up firefox in safe-mode, and see if it's still messed up?

[08:58] <genii> g00se: Or better since you have a running linux box do it from the Etch you have already there [08:58] <g00se> genii: Thanks - i'll look into that [08:59] <cwillu> keri, hold on, I'm making progress :p [08:59] <preben_> hi! How do I turn off that f-spot is opened when I connect a camera in XFCE. I got a dialog and misunderstood it so now it opens f-spot which I don't use every time I connect camera. I would like to change it to ignore [08:59] <arrenlex> Hajiki: That megaupload doesn't sit well with me; is this an extension you chose to install? Anyway, whoever said to try in safemode has good advice... does it look okay if you launch it as firefox -safe-mode ? [08:59] <g00se> The idea would be to get Ubuntu onto my 2nd HD and then dual-boot Etch and U [09:00] <cwillu> preben_, system | preferences | removable..., and then in places | <anything> | Edit | Preferences | Media [09:00] <keri> cwillu: i think u really fixed it and we did not know i am checking now [09:00] <cwillu> preben_, (there's two places) [09:00] <Fartini> http://obamainfrance.ytmnd.com/ [09:00] <preben_> cwillu: in removable I can only turn on and off the command I want to run [09:01] <cwillu> preben_, so turn it off [09:01] <preben_> cwillu: I use another program but still f-spot get opened two [09:01] <cwillu> preben_, so turn it off, and then look at the other spot I mentioned [09:01] <HorizonXP> hey guys, any idea why programs seem to shutdown on me automatically, after being left on for a few hours? like Transmission? [09:01] <preben_> cwillu: but i want my command to run, not f-spot [09:02] <cwillu> preben_, so. check. the. other. spot. I. mentioned. [09:02] <hajiki> cwillu: i ran firefox in safe mode and it looks the same [09:02] <preben_> cwillu: ok [09:02] <cwillu> lol [09:02] <arrenlex> Hajiki: Can you give the exact url that you're seeing this on? [09:02] <keri> cwillu: i guess when u had me go to system, pref and then to removable and change to digikam it worked, i turned on my camera and digikam came on and then i downloaded and they are there [09:03] <cwillu> oh, okay then [09:03] <keri> cwillu: thank you [09:03] <cwillu> np [09:03] <hajiki> arrenlex: ubuntuforums.org?

[09:05] <cwillu> good to know if you're not running straight ubuntu :p [09:05] <preben_> cwillu: I said xfce [09:05] <cwillu> sorry, missed that [09:06] <cwillu> preben_, you might want to check out #xubuntu, they'll probably be a bit more familiar with where autolaunching things are set [09:06] <preben_> cwillu: if I turn off the importing my command doesn't get run but f-spot opens anyway [09:06] <hajiki> arrenlex: thanks anyway... [09:06] * genii hires a crew fom Bangalore to live his life for him [09:06] <preben_> cwillu: so I guess it is gnome thing [09:06] <genii> oops wrong channel [09:06] <cwillu> preben_, you aren't running nautilus for a desktop are you? [09:06] <cwillu> preben_, try running nautilus from a terminal, and then check the Edit | Preferences | Media thing [09:07] <FibonacciGold> From which package do I get zlib ? [09:07] <preben_> cwillu: i instaleld ubuntu and xubuntu packages and kubuntu packages [09:07] <cwillu> preben_, (ctrl+c in the terminal, possibly followed by a killall nautilus will kill it off if it starts misbehaving) [09:07] <preben_> some people use xfce some kde etc... [09:07] <preben_> I opened nautilus now [09:07] <preben_> found the menu [09:08] <cwillu> FibonacciGold, probably libzlib or something like that, just do a search for zlib in synaptic [09:08] <FibonacciGold> cwillu: Did that, couldn't find it. [09:08] <preben_> I'll try xubuntu [09:08] <cwillu> FibonacciGold, there's a zlib1g [09:09] <cwillu> FibonacciGold, if you're compiling something, you'll need zlib1g-dev [09:09] <cwillu> preben_, nothing there? [09:09] <cwillu> under images? [09:09] <FibonacciGold> cwillu: Yes, ofcourse, my bad. Cheers...

[09:13] <cwillu> Travisss, we're not talking about any remote desktop, right? [09:13] <darren_> anyone offer advice on outlook 2007? -or point me in a direction that can? [09:13] <cwillu> Travisss, because accessing the internet from your work machine via the vpn is a definite no-no [09:13] <Travisss> cwillu no, I have an ubuntu computer with a vpn server running (pptp) [09:13] <arrenlex> unop: Quite right, it's total crap. My bad. [09:13] <arvind_khadri> darren_, ask #windows [09:13] <Travisss> cwillu why is that? [09:14] <darren_> many thanks, arvind... [09:15] <cwillu> allowing a work computer to access the internet directly implies circumventing the corporate firewall, which is the sort of thing that would cause me (as an administrator) to talk to your boss about your activities [09:15] <cwillu> however, that's not what we're talking about if I understand you [09:15] <cwillu> Travisss, ^^^^. So, you'd need to configure your ubuntu server to provide a default gateway, and to actually route the traffic as necessary [09:16] <Travisss> ok [09:16] <cwillu> Travisss, The server's gateway may also need to know to contact the server for those internal addresses, depending on how you have the subnets set up [09:16] <cwillu> All stuff handled by the documentation, although it is a little bit complicated. [09:16] <Travisss> cwillu well my problem is I don't have an easy way to test this [09:16] <cwillu> Very important to have a good understanding of the material if you're running a vpn though [09:17] <cwillu> Travisss, set up a couple vm's [09:17] <hajiki> i purged my firefox installation and it looks fine now [09:17] <Travisss> cause when I connect in my network it works, but I have no idea how it will act when I connect from an external connection [09:17] <cwillu> btw, if you have the option, I've always found openvpn far easier to configure and administer than cisco vpns [09:18] <cwillu> not compatible with pptp obviously, but overall it's a far better architecture [09:18] <cwillu> hajiki, weird. Sounds like you ran safe-mode, but didn't actually tell it to disable the plugins (my bad) [09:18] <DeadKennedy2880> !printer [09:18] <ubottu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups.

[09:20] <arrenlex> cwillu: No, there's a list of things to PERMANENTLY disable when you launch it. [09:20] <cwillu> ah, k then [09:20] <cwillu> must have been an about:config entry or something messed up then [09:20] <hajiki> yeah safe mode disabled my plugins [09:21] <Bend0r> hey all! little question..ifound out that i am missing 'exec'-flag in /etc/fstab. what does that mean? [09:21] <arrenlex> cwillu: It was probably firefox.dontRenderPagesCorrectly = true [09:21] <hajiki> but that wasnt the problem [09:21] <cwillu> arrenlex, :p [09:21] <cwillu> aka quirksmode?

[09:43] <hajiki> nando: go to #compiz-fusion [09:43] <hajiki> maybe you'll find help there [09:43] <unop> Jangari, you have to consult your motherboard/BIOS's manual [09:44] <unop> Jangari, or have a look in the BIOS utility [09:44] <nando> join #compiz-fusion [09:44] <Flannel> nando: install compizconfig-settings-manager [09:44] <starbyte> hey [09:44] <starbyte> im looking for nerds [09:44] <starbyte> any of you nerds?

Welcome! [09:45] <starbyte> excuse me, you flatulent fuck? [09:45] <Jangari> mm, alright, [09:45] <starbyte> don't tell me i'm offtopic. [09:45] <kenkku> starbyte: read the message and try to understand it [09:45] <darren_> i have an email problem. can anyone point me in the right direction? [09:46] <sjovan> darren_: maby you should try to describe the problem? [09:47] <darren_> smtp with evolution is fine but will not connect with outlook2007 [09:47] <Jangari> 'connect with'? [09:47] <Jangari> can you define that? [09:47] <Jangari> what has evolution got to do with outlook2007? [09:47] <darren_> quoting outlook 'outlook cannot connect to your outgoing (smtp) server...' [09:48] <Jangari> ah, okay [09:48] <darren_> what it has to do is that one program works fine and the other doesn't and i don't know why [09:48] <sjovan> darren_: why do you want to use outlook? [09:48] <Jangari> stupid question, but you have made sure that your smtp server is entered correctly with outlook? [09:49] <Jangari> use thunderbird instead, is my first suggestion [09:49] <inik1> darren_: send error here [09:49] <darren_> because it's the laptop supplied by my workplace and although i hate it i have no choice [09:49] <sjovan> darren_: so this isn't a ubuntu problem at all? [09:50] <unop> darren_, you should be asking this in a channel that supports outlook [09:50] <Jangari> darren_: is the one supplied by your workplace connected to the same net connection as the one on which you run evolution? [09:50] <darren_> no it isn't but i'm new to irc and i don't know who to ask [09:50] <inik1> darren_: it's about smtp & pop connection seettings [09:50] <Jangari> hold on a sec everyone, this may be an easy one' [09:50] <darren_> yes, it is currently connected wirelessly to the same router as this desktop machine [09:50] <unop> darren_, the guys in ##windows might know [09:50] <unop> Jangari, it's offtopic [09:51] <inik1> inik1: i can help [09:51] <darren_> tried ##windows but was ignored for 15 minutes [09:51] <FloodBot2> !netsplit [09:51] <ubottu> netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [09:51] <Jangari> woo hoo, netsplit! [09:51] <Jangari> yee haw [09:51] <inik1> darren_: i know enogh about mail clients. ? [09:52] <Oli``> Is there a tool I can use to monitor total monthly bandwidth? [09:52] <mkquist> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH... netsplit... lol [09:52] <hateball> Oli``: You can use iftop I guess [09:52] <darren_> guys, i don't want to upset ontopic/offtopic protocol. just point me in a direction and i'll be out of your hair [09:53] <marin> FloodBot, wtf?!?! Anyway why is my flashplayer integrated in mozilla firefox slow(it suddenly speedup, and then slowdown), I installed ATI drivers!?!?' [09:53] <hateball> Oli``: or vnStat [09:53] <Jangari> it sounds like it's an outlook issue, darren_, i would suggest you tempt fate and install thunderbird instead, knowing that your workplace may never know [09:54] <Oli``> vnStat looks more like it hateball - cheers! [09:54] <tony_> i have a question [09:54] <hateball> Oli``: Happy to help :) [09:54] <sjovan> darren_: "10:47:55 <darren_> quoting outlook 'outlook cannot connect to your outgoing (smtp) server...'" sounds like it has something to do with the smtp setup :P === tony_ is now known as Tony5 [09:55] <sjovan> darren_: go for Jangari solution [09:55] <inik1> darren_: you can use telnet <pop server > 110 to check if it's available [09:55] <matic> can someone help me with establishing wireless connection [09:55] <sjovan> 's * [09:55] <Jangari> yeah, first of all, double check and triple check the smtp, [09:55] <Tony5> hmm [09:55] <Tony5> lol [09:55] <darren_> agreed about smtp settings - but same as evolution and evo works fine. fair point about thunderbird though... [09:55] <inik1> darren_: and telnet <smtp server > 25 [09:55] <artagnon> I'm attempting to cross over my OS from ubuntu to debian. I changed the repos and debootstrapped on /. It boots with the ubuntu kernel but not with the debian one [09:55] <Tony5> whenever an person who knows ubuntu that can help me with a situation [09:55] <sjovan> matic: maby you should tell us what the problem is... [09:55] <artagnon> what am I missing? [09:55] <Tony5> please whisper me [09:55] <Jangari> it's less of a problem than having your workplace move everyone from a unix mail system to microsoft exchange, against everyone's wishes [09:56] <hateball> !ask | Tony5 [09:56] <ubottu> Tony5: 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. :-) [09:56] <matic> sjovan: how can i check if my wifi card is properly installed [09:56] <Baby_Shambl3s> !ask | Tony5 [09:56] <darren_> tried port numbers ad infinitum but no success. evolution worked without even asking for one! [09:56] <Tony5> well when i installed ubuntu [09:56] <Baby_Shambl3s> hmmm where is the bot? [09:56] <Tony5> i only had 1 hard drive in it [09:56] <Tony5> i turned it off [09:56] <Tony5> added my second one [09:56] <Jangari> Baby_Shambl3s: hateball already did it [09:56] <Tony5> then booted it back up [09:56] <darren_> tried telnet 25 - not connecting [09:57] <Baby_Shambl3s> Tony5: in one line [09:57] <sjovan> matic: lspci | grep Wireless ---> www.pastebin.com the result [09:57] <sjovan> matic: it's inportant with the big "W" [09:57] <hateball> !enter | Tony5 [09:57] <Tony5> im missing a file that is on that second hard drive and i dont know where it is can you tell me if ubuntu might have tried to formatt that drive? [09:57] <ubottu> Tony5: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [09:57] <Baby_Shambl3s> Jangari: oh yeah didnt notice [09:57] <mkquist> Tony5: please dont ask to ask to ask a quest... what the hell was I doing... oh yeah... dont ask to ask... sorry, it just seems funny. gnite all have fun. [09:58] <matic> sjovan: http://pastebin.com/d1fa65f5 [09:58] <pogay> does somebody test hd installation by *qemu* ? doesn't find the "root". [09:58] <ynotest> hey, does anyone have experience with dual booting vista and ubuntu? i have already tried easybcd but it doesnt work [09:58] <pogay> qemu -kernel vmlinuz -initrd initrd.img -append root=/dev/hda1/ -snapshot -hda /dev/sdb3 [09:58] <mkquist> ynotest: it works w/o that i remember [09:58] <sjovan> matic: looks like it's working yep :) [09:59] <ynotest> yeah grub didnt load [09:59] <Baby_Shambl3s> Tony5, ok trying to understand; you have 1 hd which you replaced with your second hd which has ubuntu right and in that hd your missing a file? [09:59] <Jangari> darren_: even if you're restricted to using outlook, install and try thunderbird to see if it connects alright, so as to at least diagnose that the problem isn't your entire machine but something restricted to outlook [09:59] <pogay> i tryed / /dev/sdb3 ... [09:59] <mkquist> i think u can still use grub, but you need another piece of software [09:59] <matic> sjovan: if i unplug the cable net doesent work [09:59] <remoteCTRL> hi all! [09:59] <hateball> hello ;d [09:59] <darren_> yes, good idea. i'll try that now... [09:59] <ynotest> after i install ubuntu, it just boots into vista if i dont do anything [09:59] <remoteCTRL> anyone got an idea how i can import more themes into gnome-artng? [09:59] <mkquist> ynotest: grub just points to the vista loader [10:00] <sjovan> matic: prob. because you have to set up the wireless first. are under a cryptated network or something? [10:00] <mkquist> yno [10:00] <mkquist> ynotest: oops, give me a mo, ill give you a link [10:00] <Baby_Shambl3s> out of curiosity if 1 hd has windows and the other has ubuntu can you just replace them around? will the MBR even allow that? [10:00] <Jangari> ynotest: apparently it isn't so good. Vista never really shuts down, they tell me, so you have difficulty mounting shared partitions; 'already in use', etc. [10:00] <hateball> ynotest: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and set whichever you want to be booting as default. Might want to remove the savedefault for vista perhaps. [10:00] <matic> sjovan: i have wireless router, with wpa key yes.. if i run ifconfig only lo and eth0 shown [10:00] <Tony5> well i have it where there are 2 drives on it. i had a big file on that second one that had my backup files from my previous operating system. when i tried to look in the second drive it shown only 1 file was in there plus a recycle file and some system restore file. this file i am missing is almost like a gigabit big. [10:00] <remoteCTRL> ynotest: edit your /boot/grub/menu.list, there is a variable to set what os to boot per default === xxxxxx is now known as Guest71680 [10:01] <ynotest> it is not the default problem i am having.. i used easybcd to add entry for ubuntu grub but it just goes partition not found or something when i try to boot into it [10:01] <Matze__> huhu [10:01] <ichweissnicht> hi! [10:02] <Matze__> was geht [10:02] <Jangari> ah, error 17, ynotest? [10:02] <ichweissnicht> ich bin noch Windows user [10:02] <ynotest> yeah thats the one [10:02] <ichweissnicht> würd aber gern wechseln [10:02] <Jangari> !de | Matze__ [10:02] <Matze__> ich net mehr [10:02] <ubottu> Matze__: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [10:02] <remoteCTRL> ynotest: i dont know easybdc so i can not help you with that but i know that supergrub cd boots all that can be booted [10:02] <Baby_Shambl3s> Tony5: ahhhh youre main hd (1st hd has ubuntu) and your second hd (is for backup) but on that hd you cnat find the file you need which is 1GB, what is the second hd formated to and are you accessing it from windows or ubuntu? [10:02] <Jangari> okay, you need "super grub disk" [10:02] <Jangari> ynotest: [10:02] <ichweissnicht> I'd like to change from Windows to a free OS [10:02] <Matze__> ich glaub der chat is gar nich ma so gut [10:02] <sjovan> matic: what does iwconfig say?

[10:03] <mkquist> ynotest: i installed vista and just used grub... was quiet easy... don't know about easybcd. imo third party boot loaders don't help [10:03] <matic> sojvan: http://pastebin.com/d2c3fcf43 [10:03] <matic> sjovan: http://pastebin.com/d2c3fcf43 [10:04] <pogay> ichweissnicht: ich finde ubuntu recht nett für normale Benutzer, und arbeite auch damit [10:04] <unop> !de [10:04] <ubottu> Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [10:04] <sjovan> ichweissnicht: no-free parts? are you thinking about like 3 party drivers and stuff or? [10:04] <remoteCTRL> ichweissnicht: firmware, that is meant when a driver releaser does not publish under glp to avoid mixed versions that cause problems that is perfectly ok [10:04] <sjovan> matic: okay... the something is wrong :) [10:04] <popey> ichweissnicht: ubuntu now has a "free software only" option during install which replaces gobuntu [10:04] <Tony5> this whole system has ubuntu linux on it.when i had the windows operating system up the file was fine but once i tried once i removed the second drive and formatted the main one and put ubuntu on their installed and done the updates it wanted. then turned the pc off and put the second drive in and turned it back on that file was gone. [10:04] <fouad> hi any one knows a good open source/free tools to visually design databases on linux ? [10:04] <matic> sjovan: what do u suggest to do [10:04] <pogay> ichweissnicht: there is also a ubuntu with only free parts [10:05] <pogay> there are different ubuntus [10:05] <Jangari> ynotest: i think the problem is that your menu.lst has lost the path to the right kernal, windows has the tendency to block other OSs from being installed easily [10:05] <unop> pogay, he already knows about gobuntu/gnewsense [10:05] <remoteCTRL> ichweissnicht: non free drivers does not mean you have to pay for it it only means you must not alter them [10:05] <Jangari> there are people around here normally who helped me with precisely that problem when it happened to me [10:05] <popey> unop: ok [10:05] <ynotest> ah i c, i will try playing around with auto super grub [10:05] <sjovan> matic: dam, haven't been on my box for a month now. thinking :) [10:05] <ichweissnicht> popey: Thanks for the hint. Then I don't need gobunu anymore?? What'S then the difference between gobuntu and ubuntu with free-sw only install? [10:06] <remoteCTRL> ichweissnicht: i would not suggest to use ubuntu without restricted drivers as you will not have nvidia or ati drivers then [10:06] <marin> How to change refresh rate, I can't change it from sys->pref->screen resolution [10:06] <marin> How to change refresh rate, I can't change it from sys->pref->screen resolution [10:06] <remoteCTRL> marin: got an nvidia card? [10:06] <Jangari> it'll be restricted by your monitor, marin [10:07] <marin> I have ATI [10:07] <marin> How restricted by monitor, I am on 60 Hz now [10:07] <Baby_Shambl3s> Tony5: if you didn't format/deleted the file on the second hd it should be there, if it is a system file it could be hidden; ctrl+h to unhide, if the file is a Gig than you cna compare all the files you got on that drive to the amount of space left that should tell you if it is there or not otherwise its gone [10:07] <ichweissnicht> I'm not concerned about paying, but about all source code bein open. Though I can't read it, it gives me a better feeling in terms of security. That's why I'm mopving away from Windose [10:07] <marin> I could go higher than 60hz on Winblows [10:07] <artagnon> which package is init part of? [10:07] <Baby_Shambl3s> remoteCTRL: are there any drivers for sis? [10:08] <gaelfx> ichweissnicht: well, you don't HAVE to use any non-free things with Ubuntu [10:08] <IndoRama> is it possible to make Ubuntu autologin (and not wait at the login screen) when the machine is booted ? [10:08] <remoteCTRL> Baby_Shambl3s: not that i knew of, should wor out of the box with xorg drivers [10:08] <Tony5> ok i am going to try and reboot again to see if maybe it just have bugged itself making it where i cant see it i will be right back [10:08] <Jangari> it's in users and groups, IndoRama [10:08] <marin> Catalyst control center is telling me same, why It can't go higher than 60Hz?!?!?! [10:08] <gaelfx> ichweissnicht: everything that comes with Ubuntu by default is free, you would have to forcibly install anything non-free [10:08] <hateball> IndoRama: /usr/sbin/gdmsetup [10:08] <Baby_Shambl3s> ichweissnicht: use linux in general whichever OS you choose youll like it, just recently got my toshiba satellite working with puppy linux and dsl (50-100mb) [10:09] <ichweissnicht> gaelfx: but if I don't use non-free parts then I can't watch vidos?? [10:09] <Baby_Shambl3s> remoteCTRL: yeah but i havent got much 3d support :/ [10:09] <IndoRama> Thanks, Janagri, Hateball [10:09] <gaelfx> marin: why do you want it to go higher than 60hz?

[10:10] <ichweissnicht> Baby_Shamble3s: but almost all contain non-free drivers and firmware. On the other hand I'm worried about not being able to watch movies then... :-( [10:10] <Jangari> or, IndoRama: system > admin > login window > Security > enable automatic login [10:10] <Baby_Shambl3s> remoteCTRL: yeha true i should stop being stingy and pay for a dam card "but we both know that wont happen any time soon" [10:10] <ichweissnicht> I'm not a computer expert... :-( [10:10] <InfecteX> Hello!

[10:13] <JohnFlux2> lspci shows that card, but no driver appears to have been loaded for it [10:13] <hateball> ichweissnicht: Yes, if you try playing a restricted file it will even ask you if you want the codecs etc downloaded [10:13] <remoteCTRL> !wifi | JohnFlux2 [10:13] <ubottu> JohnFlux2: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [10:13] <Baby_Shambl3s> remoteCTRL: true forgot to add that [10:13] <JohnFlux2> at least ifconfig -a and iwconfig doesn't see it [10:14] <eth01> txqueuelen:1000 [10:14] <eth01> what does that mean btw ^? [10:14] <remoteCTRL> JohnFlux2: you need to install drivers and maybe firmware, and consider that atheros is not eth but athX [10:14] <Baby_Shambl3s> ichweissnicht: aint you making a fuss over nothing you have an option to use free or restricted its up to you whats best [10:14] <ichweissnicht> And what's then the difference between gnewsense (based on ubuntu but only free) and ubuntu in only free install and gobuntu? [10:14] <JohnFlux2> remoteCTRL: yeah, I have no ath* [10:15] <ichweissnicht> I trhink basically it's a matter of principles [10:15] <ichweissnicht> thanks, hateball for the advice [10:15] <remoteCTRL> JohnFlux2: then youre almost certain missing drivers, what does dmesg|grep atheros return? [10:16] <JohnFlux2> remoteCTRL: nothing (even trying grep -i) [10:16] <JohnFlux2> remoteCTRL: closest hit is ath_hal being loaded [10:16] <remoteCTRL> JohnFlux2: what does lspci return for your wireless card? [10:17] <JohnFlux2> 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR2413 802.11bg NIC (rev 01) [10:17] <remoteCTRL> JohnFlux2: take the chipnumber out of lscpi and dmesg| grep the number [10:17] <gaelfx> does anyone know if ndiswrapper can install ethernet drivers? [10:17] <remoteCTRL> JohnFlux2: in that case dmesg | grep AR2413 [10:17] <JohnFlux2> remoteCTRL: yeah - nothing at all [10:18] <remoteCTRL> ?? [10:18] <JohnFlux2> remoteCTRL: no matches for even dmesg | grep -i AR2 [10:18] <remoteCTRL> JohnFlux2: your ubuntu correctla recognizes the card bt it makes no attempt to initialize it [10:18] <JohnFlux2> remoteCTRL: hmm [10:18] <JohnFlux2> remoteCTRL: how rude :-) [10:19] <remoteCTRL> JohnFlux2: but you got the led shining for the wifi, meaning it is turned on? [10:19] <remoteCTRL> :D [10:19] <JohnFlux2> remoteCTRL: the pci card's led isn't shinning [10:20] <remoteCTRL> JohnFlux2: switch it on already! :D [10:20] <JohnFlux2> remoteCTRL: it's a pci card.. how on earth do I turn it on? :) [10:21] <eth01> nobody knew :) === xxxxxx is now known as Guest52009 [10:21] <gaelfx> does anyone know if ndiswrapper can install ethernet drivers? === before is now known as afterl [10:22] <Baby_Shambl3s> gaelfx: i thought ndiswrapper was for graphics card, am i mistaken? [10:22] <remoteCTRL> JohnFlux2: you mean like in a computer not in a laptop? [10:22] <JohnFlux2> remoteCTRL: right [10:22] <JohnFlux2> remoteCTRL: It's a PC [10:22] <gaelfx> Baby_Shambl3s: it's actually for wireless mainly [10:22] <Baby_Shambl3s> gaelfx: yeah just checked online on their homesite [10:23] <remoteCTRL> JohnFlux2: that is weird->ubuntu recons it but does nothing to start it [10:23] <remoteCTRL> *think* === afterl is now known as after [10:23] <gaelfx> Baby_Shambl3s: me too [10:23] <JohnFlux2> remoteCTRL: is it worth me trying the madwifi stuff? [10:23] <gaelfx> Baby_Shambl3s: but I need to figure out if it will work for my card [10:23] <remoteCTRL> JohnFlux2: gimme a sec [10:24] <Baby_Shambl3s> you should do a google search on it with you card model which you havent stated [10:24] <gordonjcp> hrmm [10:24] <sugi> I am installing morrowind right now. I am on the wiki morrowind page and it's pretty straight forward. Do I have to install anything on a fresh installation of ubuntu? [10:24] <gordonjcp> when I reboot, I find that the permissions of some devices have changed [10:25] <JohnFlux2> remoteCTRL: lshw -C network shows it btw. it starts with *-network:0 UNCLAIMED though, whatever that means [10:25] <gordonjcp> how can I make permissions in /dev/ stick across reboots? [10:25] <InfecteX> Hello! I have a problem! I try to connect my palm m130 to PC but it doesen't work! What i must do? [10:25] <fyrestrtr> gordonjcp: you should not be assigning or modifying permissions on devices. [10:25] <gordonjcp> fyrestrtr: oh? [10:25] <fyrestrtr> !doesn't work | InfecteX [10:25] <ubottu> InfecteX: 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. [10:25] <gordonjcp> fyrestrtr: so how do you suggest I create new devices? [10:26] <fyrestrtr> gordonjcp: instead, add your user to the group that has rights to the device. Fiddling with /dev permissions is a short way down the path of "help I can't boot because my disk disappeared" [10:26] <remoteCTRL> JohnFlux2: ok i got it: [10:26] <gordonjcp> fyrestrtr: that works if the device is owned by anything other than root [10:26] <gordonjcp> fyrestrtr: I don't plan on adding every single user into root's group [10:27] <fyrestrtr> gordonjcp: you don't add them to the root group. What device are you trying to access? [10:27] <Baby_Shambl3s> fyrestrtr, gordonjcp: yeah done that many times not pretty when you cant edit stuff through cli and x doesnt start up afterwards :/ learnt my lesson passing experience on [10:27] <gordonjcp> fyrestrtr: a USB serial device, for which I've written a driver [10:27] <remoteCTRL> JohnFlux2:sudo apt-get install madwifi-source madwifi-tools madwifi-doc module-assistant build && m-a prepare && m-a a-i madwifi [10:27] <gordonjcp> fyrestrtr: when I load the kernel module it all works, but Ubuntu likes to tamper with the permissions [10:28] <remoteCTRL> JohnFlux2: without the build in the line [10:28] <remoteCTRL> JohnFlux2: m-a might require you to install build-essential [10:28] <JohnFlux2> remoteCTRL: no such package madwifi-source [10:28] <JohnFlux2> i guess i need a repos for that? [10:29] <remoteCTRL> JohnFlux2: sec === RandomCake___ is now known as RandomCake [10:29] <fyrestrtr> gordonjcp: what permissions do you want on it? [10:30] <remoteCTRL> JohnFlux2: ok spare it out and just install the madwifi and the tools [10:30] <JohnFlux2> remoteCTRL: okay done [10:30] <gordonjcp> fyrestrtr: mode 0660, with an appropriate group and user set [10:30] <remoteCTRL> JohnFlux2: ok what does iwconfig return now? [10:30] <gordonjcp> fyrestrtr: the annoying thing is that it clobbers any added character nodes in /dev on reboot anyway [10:30] <JohnFlux2> remoteCTRL: no difference [10:31] <JohnFlux2> remoteCTRL: there's still no ath* or similiar [10:31] <remoteCTRL> JohnFlux2: dmesg | grep AR2413 ? [10:31] <remoteCTRL> JohnFlux2: done the ma prepare and m-a a-i madwifi yet? [10:32] <remoteCTRL> m-a prepare [10:32] <JohnFlux2> remoteCTRL: m-a a-i madwifi seems to want to package and install madwifi-source [10:32] <fyrestrtr> gordonjcp: have you adjusted the udev rules for your device? [10:32] <gordonjcp> fyrestrtr: no, good point, I should read up on udev [10:32] <remoteCTRL> JohnFlux2: does it do it? [10:32] <fyrestrtr> gordonjcp: that's what is doing the 'clobbering' on boot. [10:33] <gordonjcp> fyrestrtr: is there any way to remove udev and just use oldskool /dev ? [10:33] <InfecteX> I have a problem! My Palm M130 doesen't connect with my PC with gnome-pillot, eighter with jpilot. HELP! [10:33] <JohnFlux2> remoteCTRL: no, it can't find it. i could check out the madwifi source manually [10:33] <remoteCTRL> JohnFlux2: do so ill check package.ubuntu meanwhile [10:33] <JohnFlux2> remoteCTRL: thanks man === Guest689828026 is now known as maria [10:34] <genii> InfecteX: Were you using it primarily with a Mac computer previously? [10:34] <codered> Hello , i was upgrading to hardy but suddenly upgrading process has freezed here :"Generating locales ... en_AU.UTF-8..." please advice ! [10:34] <fyrestrtr> gordonjcp: I am not aware; but if there was, it would require a kernel recompile. [10:34] <fyrestrtr> codered: that process does take a while. [10:35] <gaelfx> does anyone know if ndiswrapper can install an NVidia MCP51 ethernet controller driver? [10:35] <codered> fyrestrtr: i did wait it the whole night :-( , [10:35] <remoteCTRL> what the heck is wrong with packages.ubuntu.com? i cant load the site [10:35] <spiel_mit_feuer> does anyone here use a 64-bit computer? [10:36] <fyrestrtr> spiel_mit_feuer: yes. [10:36] <remoteCTRL> spiel_mit_feuer: yes [10:36] <spiel_mit_feuer> what do you use for flash websites like youtube? [10:36] <remoteCTRL> spiel_mit_feuer: standard flash player [10:36] <teimu> im trying to configure my kernel. are there any tools for this (something like "menuconfig"? (yes, i know, if i have to ask, i probably shouldnt be messing with it, but im following a vague guide) [10:36] <maria> hi children [10:36] <spiel_mit_feuer> are you running a 32-bit browser? [10:37] <remoteCTRL> spiel_mit_feuer: nope? you can also try out swfplayer [10:37] <remoteCTRL> spiel_mit_feuer: sudo apt-get install libflash-swfplayer [10:37] <spiel_mit_feuer> i found something better than swf [10:38] <marco> hi. how to install compiz fusion? [10:38] <remoteCTRL> JohnFlux2: packages.ubuntu.com seems to be down:/ [10:38] <fyrestrtr> spiel_mit_feuer: yes? [10:38] <spiel_mit_feuer> i tried the swfdec plugin.. but i found one that works more like the native flash client used on 32 bit browsers [10:38] <spiel_mit_feuer> i found it in synaptic [10:38] <remoteCTRL> marco: i should be installed per default, go to /system/preferences/appearance [10:39] <remoteCTRL> marco: and enable the advanced desktop effects on the visual effects tab [10:39] <spiel_mit_feuer> it was called "flashplugin-nonfree" This package will download the Flash Player from Adobe. It is a [10:39] <spiel_mit_feuer> Netscape/Mozilla type plugin. Any browser based on Netscape or Mozilla can [10:39] <spiel_mit_feuer> use the Flash plugin. This package currently supports the following browsers: [10:39] <spiel_mit_feuer> Mozilla, Mozilla-Firefox, Firefox, Iceweasel, and Iceape. Also Galeon and [10:39] <spiel_mit_feuer> Epiphany can use the Flash plugin. Konqueror can also use the Flash plugin if [10:39] <spiel_mit_feuer> konqueror-nsplugins is installed. [10:39] <FloodBot3> spiel_mit_feuer: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:40] <remoteCTRL> spiel_mit_feuer: yes? so? [10:40] <spiel_mit_feuer> should have come out as one large message [10:40] <JohnFlux2> remoteCTRL: okay i've made install'ed madwifi [10:40] <remoteCTRL> deos anyone know how to import more themes into gnome-artng? [10:41] <marco> remoteCTRL, tnks. but i know there was a compiz fusion with lot more options. fire, etc. where do i get it ? [10:41] <spiel_mit_feuer> it says its the actual flash client.. maybe a 64-bit testing version? [10:41] <remoteCTRL> JohnFlux2: nice! now you ought to be able to config it the usual way in system/admin/network [10:41] <JohnFlux2> remoteCTRL: modprobe ath_pci gives symbol errors [10:42] <remoteCTRL> spiel_mit_feuer: basically... adobe does not support 64 bit versions at all.. thanks adobe... [10:42] <spiel_mit_feuer> so is this an unsupported 64-bit version made by adobe? [10:43] <remoteCTRL> marco: open gome-control-center and click on advanced desktop settings [10:43] <remoteCTRL> spiel_mit_feuer: i guess so [10:43] <remoteCTRL> JohnFlux2: restart your computer :D [10:43] <spiel_mit_feuer> anyway... i tried it.. it works, so whether they support it fully, or its just a testing version, it works.... and is there for us to use on ubuntu.. all i had to do was check it in synaptic and it automatically installed itself as a browser plugin [10:44] <remoteCTRL> JohnFlux2: alway have a loog on that dmesg messages that should give iinfo why it isnt working [10:44] <marco> remoteCTRL, sorry bothering you but where is gnome-control-center? [10:44] <remoteCTRL> spiel_mit_feuer: basically your firefox should suggest to install that as soon as you open a site that contains flash content? [10:45] <remoteCTRL> marco: enter it as a command into a terminal [10:45] <ynotest> i can't boot into ubuntu >.< i have just installed ubuntu after vista... but i didnt even get a grub menu or anything... tried easybcd and auto super grub disk... didnt work :S [10:45] <spiel_mit_feuer> yeah, it really should remote.. if not firefox, then ubuntu should have it as a major package, or even installed automatically [10:45] <remoteCTRL> ynotest: you got several menus in super grub disk do you see the partition and its contents there at all? [10:46] <spiel_mit_feuer> if i was designing a distro for 64-bit, id use it [10:46] <remoteCTRL> spiel_mit_feuer: i meant my firefox on ubuntu does that;) [10:46] <ynotest> hmm i used auto super grub disk.. so i dunno.. it stopped at running "embed.... something" [10:47] <spiel_mit_feuer> remote.. do you use java sites ever? such as for games? [10:47] <remoteCTRL> ynotest: use the normal super grub disk you got alot of possibilities there, IF that thing is bootable at all super grub disk can do it for you, also change the master boot record and the partition table [10:47] <ynotest> o k [10:47] <remoteCTRL> spiel_mit_feuer: not for games, but you can hardly aoid java sites, why? [10:47] <ynotest> need to find a blank cd then.. [10:48] <spiel_mit_feuer> what do you use for a java plugin? [10:48] <spiel_mit_feuer> i tried a couple.. and one of them screwed up my browser [10:48] <remoteCTRL> spiel_mit_feuer: the one that firefox asks me to install as soon as you hit a site? [10:48] <needshelpandfast> hello can anyone help me with mounting ext3 in xubuntu?

I've got ubuntu UE (same as ubuntu 8.04) and although the wireless card is connected with the router having 47% signal, maximum download speed from a disk attached to the router is 20kbytes/s. It should normally be around 1MMbyte/s. At least that applied with other distros such as a previous fedora 8 installed...Anybody having anything to advise? [10:54] <maria> i read ubottu [10:55] <Angel-SL> !build-essentials [10:55] <gordonjcp> InfecteX: at 10:09, at 10:10 twice, at 10:25, at 10:33 and at 10:53 [10:55] <ubottu> Compiling software from source?

[10:55] <InfecteX> From 10.33 to 10.53 is a diference of 20 minutes [10:55] <gordonjcp> Nix3r: not if you've repartitioned the drives, not really [10:56] <gordonjcp> InfecteX: that's as may be, but sitting going "my Palm doesn't work!" doesn't really give anyone much to go on [10:56] <Nix3r> gordonjcp i havnt formated them yet [10:56] <Jurgen_> Nix3r, the repartitioning was too much... maybe (don't know for sure) Spinrite can help you... but not sure [10:56] <Angel-SL> Erm, does anyone know what package was it to get gcc, automake and that stuff? [10:57] <InfecteX> I changed my description so now shut up and relax...you are starting to pissing me off! [10:57] <remoteCTRL> Nix3r: if you partitioned the disk you wrote a filesystem on it so no?

[11:00] <remoteCTRL> !patience | naftilos76 [11:00] <ubottu> naftilos76: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [11:00] <bazhang> naftilos76, go to www.ubuntu.com and get the real deal :) [11:00] <Mikeh> i really need some help [11:01] <Angel-SL> don't ask to ask [11:01] <Angel-SL> just ask your question [11:01] <remoteCTRL> !ask | Mikeh [11:01] <ubottu> Mikeh: 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. :-) [11:01] <marco> my graphics card is a nvidia geforce 7050. is it ok? how many memory does it have? [11:01] <remoteCTRL> marco: never heard of that model... [11:02] <Mikeh> I installed ubuntu, and I thought it would be best to install on my D drive because that way windows would be completely seperate from Ubuntu, not realising Ubuntu would control my D drive. So all my computer backups are located (or WERE) on my D drive, but I cannot access them. I fear Ubuntu wiped my D drive a long with all my web development projects and backups. Anyway I can uninstall ubuntu and retrieve my D drive files? [11:03] <Nix3r> i got struck by a virus while runing windows. and all my video / audio files were deleted. then i re partitioned all drives. any good utility to recover my data, i havnt formated them yet.i heard there are softwares that can recover from formated partitions too..? [11:03] <kenkku> Mikeh: if your formatted the D drive, no. how did you install ubuntu? did you do it by booting from the cd or did you install within windows ( wubi)? [11:04] <remoteCTRL> Mikeh: im afraid not, sorry... [11:04] <Mikeh> i booted from the CD, within the demo of Ubuntu, and installed to the D drive. So windows loads fine, and is usable, except it cannot access the D drive [11:04] <bazhang> Mikeh, was it wubi [11:04] <kenkku> Mikeh: in that case, the files are gone, the partition has been overwritten by ubuntu, sorry [11:05] <Mikeh> completely? [11:05] <Mikeh> argh [11:05] <kenkku> most probably [11:05] <kenkku> we can make sure, just a moment [11:05] <theclaw> My fonts in ubuntu 8.04 are too much "blurry", I made a screenshot here: http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/8955/20080727115925614x111scvt9.png . Hinting already is set to "strong" [11:05] <kenkku> do you have one hard driver or several? [11:05] <theclaw> What to do about it? [11:05] <Mikeh> i have two [11:05] <remoteCTRL> Mikeh: bakcup for important data is crucial (just for the future), strongly urge you to do that [11:05] <Mikeh> C and D [11:05] <bazhang> theclaw, looks fine here [11:06] <Mikeh> i always back up weekly on my D drive [11:06] <Angel-SL> theclaw: Yup. Looks fine here too. [11:06] <Mikeh> not realising Ubuntu would spaz and wipe the entire thing [11:06] <theclaw> bazhang, Angel-SL: i want it more "sharpened", as far as I can remember it was a lot sharper as I used debian [11:06] <remoteCTRL> Mikeh: in that case youre save:) [11:06] <bazhang> Mikeh, formatting for any system would wipe it; nothing to do with ubuntu [11:07] <Mikeh> but [11:07] <remoteCTRL> theclaw: maybe try a different font? [11:07] <kenkku> Mikeh: and windows was on another, data on another? you installed ubuntu on the second HDD by selecting the "Guided - use entire disk*"? [11:07] <adityag>  i want to write a program to draw a circle, i have the code for windows, how do i make it compatible with linux ? [11:07] <Mikeh> i did =[ [11:07] <theclaw> remoteCTRL: any idea which I could try? [11:07] <bazhang> adityag, what language [11:07] <Mikeh> thinking it meant it just allowed it as much space as it needed [11:07] <adityag> sorry C [11:07] <remoteCTRL> adityag: what programming language? [11:07] <kenkku> Mikeh: then everything is gone. I doubt that any recovery tool would find anything, since ubuntu has overwritten several gigabytes [11:07] <Abed> i want to update the aMSN but i am a linux newbie and don't know how to do that i have this file amsn-0.97.1-1tcl85.x86.package [11:08] <bazhang> build-essential adityag [11:08] <inik2> adityag: algorithm stay same but sintax differs [11:08] <Mikeh> so can I uninstall ubuntu and get my D drive back? [11:08] <theclaw> remoteCTRL: I tried server, it looks blurry everywhere I think [11:08] <remoteCTRL> adityag: basically if you use the windows libraries from ms not compatibel... [11:08] <kenkku> Mikeh: the data will not be recoverable [11:08] <bazhang> Mikeh, no system format (of any os) will allow that [11:08] <remoteCTRL> theclaw: dunno, arial, courier, etc...? [11:08] <adityag> how do i know about linux;s library ? [11:09] <bazhang> adityag, you learn :) [11:09] <Mikeh> well i still want my D drive back so that I can re-download all my projects from my servers through FTP [11:09] <remoteCTRL> :D [11:09] <bazhang> !fonts | theclaw [11:09] <ubottu> theclaw: 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 [11:09] <Angel-SL> Mikeh: Boot up to windows, and format D:\ to NTFS [11:09] <Mikeh> If i reinstall Ubuntu partitioning inline with Windows, will it leave my D drive alone, and still dual boot windows? [11:09] <kenkku> Mikeh: if you want to remove ubuntu, just delete all the partitions it created [11:10] <remoteCTRL> Mikeh: if you installed ubuntu with lvm you can shrink the partition, have a look into gparted [11:10] <kenkku> Mikeh: you can alter the size of the ubuntu partition and use the remaining space to create a partition for windows to use [11:10] <remoteCTRL> kenkku: and then use super grub disk to fix your mbr [11:10] <adityag> bazhang: any references on the web pls?

[11:11] <Mikeh> i know you can resize the partition when installing on the same drive as windows.. which will keep windows right? [11:11] <kenkku> remoteCTRL: or if you boot into the livecd [11:11] <remoteCTRL> theclaw: sorry mate but i cant recognize the cause for that, cos if it worked with debian it cannot be the monitors fault and ubuntu fonts usually dont ship blurry... [11:12] <remoteCTRL> kenkku: you still need lvm then [11:12] <Mikeh> so i need to restart, format my drive to NTFS? [11:12] <kenkku> remoteCTRL: what? are you saying that partitions can't be resized without lvm..? :P [11:13] <spiel_mit_feuer> i think i found the plugin i needed. but im going to test it out [11:13] <theclaw> remoteCTRL: thanks though [11:13] <remoteCTRL> Mikeh: take it easy there, or youll make matters worse! you can reinstall ubuntu when launching windows by using wubi, but you cannot install it parallely into one partition (wubi makes like a virtual pc) [11:13] <blogi> Unable to start the network configuration tool. [11:13] <blogi> Please setup sudo first! ----how can i fix this? [11:13] <spiel_mit_feuer> uh oh [11:13] <remoteCTRL> theclaw: np [11:13] <remoteCTRL> kenkku: yes? [11:14] <kenkku> remoteCTRL: euh, what exactly IS lvm and is it installed by default? [11:14] <bazhang> blogi, what is the issue [11:14] <blogi> my other network card wont work [11:14] <blogi> my eth1 [11:14] <remoteCTRL> kenkku: lvm is logical volume manager and you need to specify that on installation and that is only possible with the alternate cd [11:14] <kenkku> remoteCTRL: but why would one be unable to resize a partition without it? === Svenstar0 is now known as Svenstaro [11:15] <Mikeh> I was just wondering if i followed the normal procedure, and installing Ubuntu along side Windows, making the ubuntu partition smaller than windows, would I be able to uninstall it later? [11:15] <bazhang> blogi, still this? what exactly are you trying to do; you have never clarified that. [11:15] <remoteCTRL> blogi try entereing sudo network-manager into a terminal [11:15] <kenkku> remoteCTRL: I think there's some misunderstanding here [11:15] <remoteCTRL> kenkku: afaik you can only resize a partition if you use lvm [11:15] <bazhang> remoteCTRL, he's not sure what he wants to do. just a heads-up [11:15] <remoteCTRL> kenkku: at least without loosing data? [11:16] <blogi> i have two lan card...last time i ask for help its about the new lan card cant be detected but now i change the other lan card which can be detected now [11:16] <kenkku> remoteCTRL: that sounds rediculous, I've resized loads of ext3 partitions with gparted from the livecd [11:16] <remoteCTRL> bazhang: heh [11:16] <Mikeh> you can resize the partition with the liveCD [11:16] <blogi> but the problem now is that it cant connect to local even if i disable the eth0 [11:16] <bazhang> blogi, you have never clarified what you wish to do; please stop repeating the same without clarifying [11:17] <kenkku> remoteCTRL: isn't lvm's idea that one can resize thevolumes while they are ONLINE? [11:17] <remoteCTRL> kenkku: that is so if you resize a non root partition [11:17] <kenkku> remoteCTRL: yeah, but you can resize anything if it's not mounted [11:17] <remoteCTRL> kenkku: if you wanna resize the system partition you need to do it from a live cd [11:17] <Dedoimedo> hi all, here to help, anyone needs help ...? [11:17] <remoteCTRL> kenkku: unmounted only [11:18] <blogi> ok.heres what im trying to do....i have 2 lan cards, 1 for the net(eth0) and the other one for local network (eth1 [11:18] <Mikeh> right im gonna restore my D drive and remove Ubuntu [11:18] <remoteCTRL> kenkku: nope? not without lvm? [11:18] <kenkku> remoteCTRL: why not? [11:18] <Mikeh> thanks for the help guys =] I may be back for some more advice BEFORE installing [11:18] <remoteCTRL> kenkku: cos you cant [11:18] <kenkku> remoteCTRL: I had lvm on fedora once, I decided I hated it, haven't used it after that [11:18] <bazhang> blogi, internet connection sharing, file sharing, crossover cables to do so or what [11:18] <kenkku> remoteCTRL: seriously, whycould you not resize a partition if it's not in use? [11:19] <remoteCTRL> blogi: have a look at the application called firestarter [11:19] <remoteCTRL> sudo apt-get install firestarter [11:19] <remoteCTRL> blogi: you find that under system/administration then [11:19] <blogi> if i want to go to internet, ill just disable it and enable local...just like windows [11:19] <krazy-h_> I want that my terminal speech all the word i type in [11:19] <bazhang> blogi, you are not answering my questions. [11:20] <rinaldi_> Hi, I've been away so haven't booted up recently. There were over 100 updates so I clicked install but some gave 404's such as wine (from the winehq repos) and things like firefox and php5. Any ideas what's going wrong? There are about 25 files giving the 404's. [11:20] <blogi> errr...my eth0 for internet (just for internet purpose) and my eth1 for local network (ofis related work) [11:20] <krazy-h_> Can somebody help me ? [11:20] <remoteCTRL> krazy-h_: try orca reader [11:20] <bazhang> blogi, you are just repeating without new info [11:21] <blogi> hehehe...im confused [11:21] <Dedoimedo> krazy-h what do you need? [11:21] <remoteCTRL> blogi: we can see that:D [11:21] <bazhang> blogi, clearly; this is for file sharing or other [11:21] <blogi> i just need my eth1 to be connected localy [11:21] <simeon> Hey can anyone help me with one issue? [11:21] <remoteCTRL> blogi: or internet connection sharing or what? [11:22] <blogi> i inputed the right static ips [11:22] <remoteCTRL> !ask | simeon [11:22] <ubottu> simeon: 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. :-) [11:22] <bazhang> blogi, answer our questions. [11:22] <kenkku> remoteCTRL: could you tell me why gparted supports resizing for example ext3, even though it does NOT support LVM? [11:22] <simeon> It's about making an external HDD to mount a partition on a defined mount point [11:22] <rinaldi_> nevermind, I tried the main server and it's fine, looks like there's a problem with the gb server. [11:22] <remoteCTRL> kenkku: nope that is news to me [11:22] <blogi> my local connection (eth1) is for filesharing and accessing the network [11:23] <bazhang> blogi, choose one: a)file-sharing b)internet connection sharing c)other (explain) [11:23] <Dedoimedo> simeon u want to mount an external hdd ???? [11:23] <blogi> file sharing [11:23] <kenkku> remoteCTRL: well, that is the deal :) you're probably confused because lvm allows you to resize while the partition is online [11:23] <Dedoimedo> karazy-h what did u want? [11:23] <bazhang> blogi, use samba [11:23] <kenkku> remoteCTRL: which is naturally not possible with ordinary partitioning tools [11:23] <blogi> where can i get samba?

Is it possible to put it higher? [11:45] <blogi> ahhh [11:45] <remoteCTRL> znh: that is still an option i am afraid, changed something in bios? [11:45] <tv7497> bazhang: i was editing it from a tutorial does i saved it as a book mark can i access it even if internet is not working in ubuntu [11:45] <tv7497> /does/that [11:45] <remoteCTRL> znh: sure, what card?

[11:47] <Dedoimedo> znh: do you want to try to install drivers? [11:47] <blogi> i'm not really know much of the programing side :) [11:47] <remoteCTRL> znh: in that case just use the system/preferences/screen resolution menu? [11:47] <znh> Dedoimedo: well, is it worth it :')? [11:47] <blogi> i'm just a noob :) [11:47] <znh> remoteCTRL: I did, showed up to 800x600 instead of 1024x786 [11:48] <Dedoimedo> znh: why not, if everything works out, you'll have 3d support ... [11:48] <znh> Dedoimedo: it's an old card :) [11:48] <remoteCTRL> blogi: as bazhang said already several times: you need to do the reading noone can do that for you [11:48] <Dedoimedo> znh: how old? [11:48] <bazhang> blogi, if you have no clear idea of what you want to do then you wont get much help; failing to read documents provided to you will only compound that and being new is no excuse for not reading and trying to learn [11:48] <remoteCTRL> znh: you mean you set 1024*768 and it didnt change? [11:49] <znh> Dedoimedo: unsure but it doesn't do 3D stuff [11:49] <znh> remoteCTRL: nope, it isn't listed [11:49] <remoteCTRL> znh: in that case youmight want to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add it manually [11:49] <Dedoimedo> znh: option one is that you try to install drivers (via restricted drivers ... in the system menu) - this is the simplest option; option 2 is to manually reconfigure xorg, so if you want, try installing the restricted drivers first... [11:50] <znh> remoteCTRL: meh I wanted to get used to the GUI [11:50] <remoteCTRL> znh: do as domeido sais === icqnumber__ is now known as icqnumber [11:51] <remoteCTRL> bazhang: thanks for taking the words out of my mouth, hes a hard learner:D [11:51] <znh> Dedoimedo: no proprietary drivers are in use on this system [11:51] <bazhang> remoteCTRL, :) [11:51] <Dedoimedo> znh: do you have anything listed? any driver, with the checkbox empty? do you have the ability to enable? [11:52] <znh> Dedoimedo: doesn't list any [11:53] <Dedoimedo> znh: then you might wanna try to manually edit xorg.conf - first back up the existing configuration file sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-backup [11:54] <remoteCTRL> znh: you will need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf with sudo [11:54] <plague> Hi All - does anyone know how I can look at whats in a .mof file using Ubuntu 8.10?

[11:58] <remoteCTRL> Dedoimedo: he can erase those four lines without backup i believe:) [11:59] <Dedoimedo> znh: just a rule when working on any conf file, especially in *nix, backup first, tweak later ... that's a healthy rule to follow, one, four or 2500 lines.... [11:59] <znh> remoteCTRL: hmm.. shows stripes instead of the usual nice screen [12:00] <Dedoimedo> plague: did it work out with a text editor?? [12:00] <remoteCTRL> znh: now you know why its not listed: obviously not supported by the card [12:00] <znh> remoteCTRL: it is. I used to have that mode in *nix [12:00] <remoteCTRL> znh: how old is that thing? [12:00] <znh> remoteCTRL: unsure - but it has ran Ubuntu and others just fine [12:00] <remoteCTRL> znh: did you copy/paste what i pasted above or did you replace the values as i said? [12:01] <znh> remoteCTRL: i replaced the values, it does show 1024x786 now [12:01] <remoteCTRL> znh: try setting the depth to 16 [12:01] <znh> remoteCTRL: changed the depth, wonder what it doe snow [12:01] <blogi> # This can be either the interface name or an IP address/netmask; [12:01] <blogi> # interface names are normally preferred [12:01] <blogi> ; interfaces = 172.16.80.74/8 eth1 [12:01] <znh> remoteCTRL: hehe [12:01] <blogi> whats /8 eth0 stands for? [12:02] <blogi> whats /8 eth1 stands for? [12:02] <znh> remoteCTRL: same thing [12:02] <remoteCTRL> blogi: that is called subnetting and determines how many of the 256 ips in that subnet are to be used [12:02] <Dedoimedo> blogi: that's a cidr class, meaning only the first 8 bits of the 32-bit ip address space remains unchanged [12:02] <blogi> my ip should be inputted there? [12:03] <Dedoimedo> blogi: that means that you have 2^24 ips available for that particular subnet [12:03] <bazhang> blogi, you are still trying that old way? better to read up on samba [12:03] <blogi> ahhh...\ [12:03] <pobbel> Hello all [12:03] <anubis5555> hi [12:03] <remoteCTRL> znh: in that case try what the other guy suggested above: run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [12:03] <blogi> still cant understand some of it :( [12:03] <Dedoimedo> blogi: what are you trying to accomplish??

[12:09] <znh> Dedoimedo: indeed [12:09] <znh> I forgot to mention but there is a checkbox with 'Clone screens' checked all the time - even when I manualy uncheck it and check if it's checked again [12:10] <Dedoimedo> znh: strange, ill check 8.04 when i get home, at work right now - dont have access to ubuntu [12:11] <znh> Dedoimedo: ok [12:11] <remoteCTRL> znh: in that case you oughta have an according setting in the xorg.conf and also two screen sections?

[12:15] <remoteCTRL> gfather: what is what? [12:16] <gfather> <remoteCTRL> brb [12:16] <napsy_> Hello. Is it possible that I install ubuntu on my usb removable drive and then boot from it? [12:17] <znh> remoteCTRL: is there a startup switch to disable gdm/X ? [12:17] <jester_> napsy_: depends on your bios. If your bios supports boot from USB, then there's some docs on that. google "howto boot usb linux" is probably a good start. [12:17] <napsy_> ok tnx [12:18] <J3ff> anyone knows a cgiirc or a pjirc client that connects here? [12:18] <jester_> napsy: oh yeah, add "ubuntu" to that search, and you'll get ubuntu specific guides, which will be much more on target for what you need [12:18] <napsy_> excellent :) [12:18] <znh> J3ff: http://irc.burngreave.net/ [12:19] <remoteCTRL> znh: none that i knew of right now, but you can of course look for startx and/or gdm in the /etc/rc#.d directories === kaeffchen is now known as kaffee === shevek is now known as Guest292 [12:21] <remoteCTRL> *silence* am i offline or what?:D [12:21] <unop> startx is not an init script [12:22] <remoteCTRL> unop: dunno what the explicit script name for it is but i would surely find it if i looked hard enuff:P [12:23] <unop> znh, sudo update-rc.d -f gdm stop 20 2 3 4 5 . # this stops gdm from starting up [12:23] <unop> znh, sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove # somewhat the same [12:23] <remoteCTRL> nice! [12:23] <tre_27> remoteCTRL: startx is for manually starting X. if X is started by init scripts, a display manager like gdm, kdm, xdm, ... is used [12:23] <remoteCTRL> tre_27: thanx for the info [12:25] <Schoentje> i have an problem on installing ubuntu 8.04 on a computer from 1999 can someone help me plz?

I need help understanding what kind of hardware I need. I believe iSCSI only works for scsi and sas disks and not for SATA. Is this correct? Or is iSCSI not related to what disk I have? [12:27] <jester_> yeah, don't run gnome. 128mb will be brutal torture on that [12:27] <tester> i've created a new login, and that seems to work fine, anyone know how i can fix my normal login? [12:27] <tre_27> Schoentje: you have to use the alternate cd (textmode installer) on that machine [12:27] <remoteCTRL> niklas: you can use rsync instead [12:27] <Schoentje> oh my dad has another 128mb ram === beaver___ is now known as beaver [12:28] <tingle> remoteCTRL: ty [12:28] <honkyD> hello I have just installed ubuntu and am getting grub error 2 when I try to boot, how to fix?

[12:28] <mloskot> It doesn't load for me since 2 days [12:28] <see-g> pobbel: it's probably a dirty workaround to a more elegant solution but you could try adding this to your /etc/rc.local [12:29] <niklas> Also, I want a solution where I get more than 1 gbit/sec [12:29] <tester> would really appreciate some help with why i can't start applications on my other user, feeling a bit desperate :( [12:29] <MuLLeR[DQ]> hi .. is there a way to fix xen3.2 networking in hardy? [12:29] <fyrestrtr> tester: what application and what is the error [12:29] <laughtear> need help... [12:30] <remoteCTRL> niklas: in that case you will need ultra fast harddisks... [12:30] <fyrestrtr> !help | laughtear [12:30] <ubottu> laughtear: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [12:30] <tester> fyrestrtr, any application and there's no error, they just don't start [12:30] <laughtear> !help [12:30] <Baby_Shambl3s> !ask | laughtear [12:30] <ubottu> laughtear: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [12:30] <Dedoimedo> honkyD: is your nix installed on the same drive as the grub? [12:30] <unop> tingle, exec gnome-session in ~/.xinitrc not ~/.Xinitrc [12:30] <niklas> remoteCTRL, that said, scsi or sas disks? [12:30] <tingle> unop: ty [12:30] <fyrestrtr> tester: give me an example. Open a terminal and type 'gedit' and hit enter, what happens? [12:30] <tester> fyrestrtr, not terminal, not firefox, not sessions, i can launch synaptic for some reason, and applications that auto-started are fine so long as i don't shut them down [12:30] <pobbel> see-g: Will this run before I login? and this will not work if I insert the card after booting will it? [12:31] <tester> fyrestrtr, i'm on a different user login now and this one is fine - on my other login, i can't even open a terminal [12:31] <honkyD> Dedoimedo, I have windows xp on a 20gig drive, then a 160 gb drive partitioned into 2 - ntfs, ext3 and swap. not sure where grub would have installed too?? [12:31] <remoteCTRL> niklas: you get an average of 65mb/sec with a sata disk so 1gigabit per second is per se not really posslible [12:31] <tester> fyrestrtr, however, i have an embedded terminal screenlet that auto-starts, so i can tell you that if i type gedit into that, nothing happens, it just hangs [12:31] <Baby_Shambl3s> tester: what permission ahs that user exactly and how did you create it [12:31] <fyrestrtr> tester: this happened after you did something or just you were working and it stopped? [12:31] <laughtear> one of my ubuntu has crashed on the other partition, and i can mount that drive onto this desktop. but i can't see my files in home directory to copy here and format that partition. what will i do to see my files and rescue them? [12:31] <remoteCTRL> niklas: ans scsi is no difference from sas exept sas is hotpluggable [12:32] <niklas> remoteCTRL, ok [12:32] <Dedoimedo> honky, you need to tell me ... you installed it ... but it looks like it's on the second drive, while you installed grub to the mbr of the first... [12:32] <tester> fyrestrtr, i had just configured it to perfection, was happy with it, and decided to install cedega [12:32] <unop> laughtear, are you mounting the right partition? [12:32] <tester> fyrestrtr, cedega for some reason also opened fine, i've tried uninstalling it now and that didn't make a difference [12:32] <see-g> pobbel: /etc/rc.local is executed at the end of entering a runlevel, so it will run before you log in but it won't work if you insert the card after your system has booted up [12:32] <fyrestrtr> tester: are you on your other account right now? [12:32] <tester> Baby_Shambl3s, the broken user was created when i installed and had full admin status [12:32] <tester> fyrestrtr, yes [12:32] <remoteCTRL> grub error 2 : Bad file or directory type [12:32] <remoteCTRL> This error is returned if a file requested is not a regular file, [12:32] <remoteCTRL> but something like a symbolic link, directory, or FIFO. [12:32] <honkyD> Dedoimedo, ook... sorry I am noob at this, but what do u suggest i do to fix it [12:32] <laughtear> unop, hi... yes, i'm sure about it. [12:33] <tester> fyrestrtr, the broken account has xchat on auto-start, so i can come back on that account and still talk if you want to do tests [12:33] <unop> laughtear, did you setup that install with a seperate /home partition? [12:33] <fyrestrtr> tester: sudo rm /home/yourbrokenaccount/.Xauthority [12:33] <pobbel> see-g: Thanks for your help [12:33] <Baby_Shambl3s> laughtear: any hd that you want to access will never show in home, if it isnt in fstab it wont be mounted automatically menaing you need to mount it to /media [12:33] <unop> see-g, it's possible that /etc/rc.local is run after you logon -- since gdm starts up much earlier [12:34] <Dedoimedo> honky, you can fix it by using a very handy tool called super grub disk http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ boot the iso, boot from CD and fix the installations ... [12:34] <laughtear> yes, i did so, but i used different user name and password (but they're also my own, if asked i could answer both) [12:34] <niklas> remoteCTRL, 65mb/sec you say. I have sata disks at the moment ant gigabit interface. Transferring 800 mbit/sec with nfs between two servers. That must be more than 65mb/sec? [12:34] <unop> laughtear, are you running an ubuntu session now? [12:34] <remoteCTRL> niklas: that would be 100mb and cole to a miracle:) [12:34] <remoteCTRL> close [12:34] <laughtear> Baby_Shambl3s: i can mount it, and it's now mounted on my desktop, i can see the home folder in it, but i can see no files inside it [12:34] <tester> fyrestrtr, there is no file .Xauthority [12:34] <tester> fyrestrtr, or anything similar to that [12:34] <remoteCTRL> niklas: is it a raid? [12:34] <fyrestrtr> tester: ah yes ... now that I think about it. [12:34] <laughtear> unop: yes, this is also an ubuntu session [12:35] <niklas> remoteCTRL, only software mirror raid === Ademan_ is now known as Ademan [12:35] <fyrestrtr> fyrestrtr: ls -l /home/thebrokenaccount and pastebin the result. [12:35] <unop> laughtear, run this command and give us this url it returns. which pastebinit || sudo aptitude install pastebinit; { mount; sudo fdisk -l; } | pastebinit [12:35] <remoteCTRL> niklas: what sort of raid? [12:35] <remoteCTRL> niklas: ah raid 0? [12:35] <unop> laughtear, if you setup a seperate /home partition - you need to mount that partition instead [12:35] <honkyD> oook thanks Dedoimedo i will try that [12:36] <niklas> remoteCTRL, No, mirroring. Raid 1 [12:36] <cwillu> remoteCTRL, (that would be raid 1) [12:36] <remoteCTRL> niklas: yeah if the receiving side is a raid that is possible and i'd say just fine, wont get more out of that... [12:36] <tester> fyrestrtr, http://pastebin.com/d5aacbf80 [12:36] <Dedoimedo> honky: excellent, report back if you succeed, write down the solutions so everyone can learn ... and if it doesnt work you can send me an email (my webiste is www.dedoimedo.com) or send me a pm at ubuntu forums, I'm a member there under same name... [12:36] <Baby_Shambl3s> laughtear: oh it is mounted weird someone earlier had the same problem like unop suggested are you sure it's the correct one especially if you have different partitions, also if you go other files in there or havent you could check how much disk space is being taken i.e. if the hd is 3GB and it shows that only 2GB are free than you know files are there which is a problem cause you cnat access them [12:37] <Baby_Shambl3s> laughtear: stupid idea have you tried ctrl+h [12:37] <laughtear> unop: that partition is mounted now on my desktop. listen; i installed one partition ubuntu studio, and (just for trying) i installed another ubuntu onto the other partition (intrepid ibex which i'm now using to contact you). [12:37] <niklas> remoteCTRL, Its not striped raid. When I send in 800 mbit/sec, the data has to be stored identical on two disks. No speed up here. [12:37] <laughtear> Baby_Shambl3s: i tried that (show hidden files) [12:37] <cwillu> laughtear, what's the problem? [12:37] <unop> laughtear, when you setup the previous ubuntu. did or did you not setup a seperate partition for your /home directory? [12:37] <niklas> remoteCTRL, With CIFS (smb) I get 240 mbit/sec. [12:38] <fyrestrtr> tester: the same, but with -la [12:38] <remoteCTRL> niklas: not on a mirror, that is true and i guess its some 10000 or 15000 rpm scsi disks or what? [12:38] <niklas> remoteCTRL, No, Seagate barracudda es.2 disks spinning at 7200 rpm [12:38] <Baby_Shambl3s> unop, laughtear: didnt think of that but unop might be right if you accidently used the same home everythign got formated [12:38] <see-g> unop: I assumed that it's ok to go for a coffee or so while the computer starts up, therefore rc.local would have been run by the time you come back ;) [12:38] <niklas> remoteCTRL, Normal sata disks [12:38] <remoteCTRL> niklas: wow i want those too! [12:38] <tester> fyrestrtr, http://pastebin.com/d48cca08a [12:39] <remoteCTRL> niklas: as said try rsync that doesnt need a server running and its small, effective, fast [12:39] <niklas> remoteCTRL, I don't think its any special with the disks. [12:39] <unop> see-g, there is no guarantee of that tho :) someother init script might have failed to return and rc.local might never get the chance to run :) === arnaud__ is now known as cuak [12:39] <remoteCTRL> niklas: 100mb/sec is extraordinarily fast [12:39] <laughtear> unop: oh my god...:S please listen carefully...:) i have 2 drives, and 2 ubuntus on each drive. one of them is working (this one) and other one is crushed (the other one). i need to get my files from the crushed one which is now mounted by me on this desktop, but can't see the contents of the home folder of that crushed partitions [12:39] <niklas> remoteCTRL, You did not read my preferring. I said I wanted to use iSCSI. [12:40] <cuak> is anybody can help me? [12:40] <gfather> guys i installed ubuntu through wubi , i want to uninstall , and reinstall , but the uninstaller is not working [12:40] <unop> laughtear, answer my question - it's not overly complex [12:40] <gfather> what should i do [12:40] <ottoshmidt> hi all, do you know any software to split video files (MPEG)? [12:40] <Dedoimedo> otto try virtualdub [12:40] <ottoshmidt> Dedoimedo, ok [12:40] <laughtear> unop, sure thing, forgive me if i'll misunderstood because of my english (not my main language) [12:41] <Dedoimedo> http://www.virtualdub.org/ [12:41] <remoteCTRL> niklas: wont work with sata [12:41] <unop> laughtear, did you partition your disk when you installed the last ubuntu? if so, did you create one just for /home? [12:41] <see-g> unop: well ... there's always the possibility that the heavens fall down ;) [12:41] <rockyrock> hi guys, I have no inetrnet connection at all in my Desktop PC "I'm using a laptop now", and I have Ubuntu 8.04 on my Desktop so how can i make update for the system!!! I can only use my laptop in the internet cafe. [12:41] <niklas> remoteCTRL, I had ~120 mbit/sec when I was using default realtek 1 gbit network card in my server. I switched to a intel gigabit desktop card and it jumped up to 800 mbit/sec. [12:41] <rockyrock> Do u have any solution for my prob? [12:42] <unop> see-g, that possibility is quite low as compared to scripts failing :) [12:42] <cwillu> rockyrock, you have two machines, and you only have access to one of them right now? [12:42] <rockyrock> cwillu, yes [12:42] <remoteCTRL> niklas: i seriously doubt that but if you say so... [12:42] <cwillu> rockyrock, have you previously installed anything on the other machine (openssh-server, etc)? [12:42] <unop> laughtear, run this command (copy and paste it in your terminal) , and give us the url it returns. which pastebinit || sudo aptitude install pastebinit; { mount; sudo fdisk -l; } | pastebinit [12:42] <Baby_Shambl3s> !internet | rockyrock [12:42] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about internet [12:42] <Baby_Shambl3s> !net [12:42] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about net [12:42] <rockyrock> cwillu, now [12:42] <Baby_Shambl3s> stupid bot [12:43] <Baby_Shambl3s> :/ [12:43] <cwillu> rockyrock, if you haven't already installed openssh-server on the remote machine, you're out of luck [12:43] <laughtear> unop: well, i probably partitioned my hdd as installing first or second one. but if you're askin' this: i have partition 1, and partition 2. i have and ubuntu and it's home folder on partition 1. and i have another ubuntu and also it's own home folder on partition 2 too [12:43] <Baby_Shambl3s> cwillu: why hasnt he got internet on the other machine? [12:43] <unop> laughtear, then you probably need to mount the second partition on the first disk. i.e. the home folder [12:43] <rockyrock> cwillu, what is openssh-server? [12:43] <niklas> remoteCTRL, To get this even more complicated, I have all hard drives on the server encrypted with AES 256 bit. Still I get 800 mbit/sec. Kinda neat :) [12:43] <cwillu> !info openssh-server [12:43] <ubottu> openssh-server (source: openssh): secure shell server, an rshd replacement. In component main, is optional. Version 1:4.7p1-8ubuntu1.2 (hardy), package size 248 kB, installed size 660 kB [12:43] <cwillu> lets you log in remotely [12:43] <laughtear> unop: it's mounted, hello, do you hear meee???...:( [12:44] <unop> laughtear, mounting the main partition does not mount the second. which is why /home will appear empty to you [12:44] <cwillu> laughtear, check your pms [12:44] <unop> laughtear, run this command (copy and paste it in your terminal) , and give us the url it returns. which pastebinit || sudo aptitude install pastebinit; { mount; sudo fdisk -l; } | pastebinit # i won't ask again [12:44] <see-g> unop: then ... there's always the chance that a bag of rice tips over in China?

[12:45] <remoteCTRL> niklas: impressing [12:45] <niklas> remoteCTRL, Oh, gonna take my last post in consideration. I don't remember if my speed test was with our without encrypted turned on. Well, I guess I need to do a new speed test. w8 [12:45] <laughtear> cwillu: i don't know how to check my pms in this xchat program (really) [12:45] <cwillu> rockyrock, what is it you need to do? [12:45] <rockyrock> cwillu, I want to make update to the other machine cuz i have can't reach the internet in my house [12:45] <cwillu> oh, you want to download the updates, so that you can update at your house? [12:45] <rockyrock> cwillu, i can reach it only in the internet cafe [12:46] <unop> laughtear, what was that? [12:46] <unop> laughtear, it's not what i asked for. [12:46] <laughtear> alrite, you're having fun with me... [12:46] <rockyrock> cwillu, yes i want to download the updates using my laptop in the internet cafe then install them on my Deskop PC [12:46] <laughtear> unop: than what was it...:( [12:46] <unop> laughtear, which pastebinit || sudo aptitude install pastebinit; { mount; sudo fdisk -l; } | pastebinit [12:46] <unop> laughtear, that there is all one command [12:46] <cwillu> rockyrock, if you have the same packages installed on the laptop, then update the laptop at the coffeeshop, and then sync the contents of /var/cache/apt/archive/ [12:47] <laughtear> unop: ok, doing that [12:47] <rockyrock> cwillu, i have xubuntu cuz my laptop is weak [12:47] <nuvan> i've got an SSH server running on my ubuntu install. i'm trying to use key based auth to simplify connection, but it's always rejected, saying "bad service request ssh-connection" [12:47] <laughtear> unop: http://paste.ubuntu.com/30884/ [12:48] <tingle> is there a way to easy set my laptop fans a bit higher?

[12:48] <see-g> rockyrock: hang on a moment, I know that it works, I just have to look up how [12:48] <eth01> how do you check the temps within ubuntu btw? [12:48] <eth01> (without checking bios, ssh for e.g.) [12:48] <rockyrock> see-g, oky [12:48] <niklas> I would like to see what network speed my network card is set at. How can I do this?

[12:50] <Dedoimedo> otto: virtualdub didnt work for you? [12:51] <ottoshmidt> Dedoimedo, it's not for linux [12:51] <Dedoimedo> otto: u sure?? [12:51] <jazzkutya> you can try with tine [12:51] <Baby_Shambl3s> laughtear: that command he gave you he wanted you to post the link that terminal gave you i tried it myself never knew you could do that [12:51] <ottoshmidt> Dedoimedo, actually i'm downloading it yet [12:52] <jazzkutya> but afaik virtualdub is mostly for avi files [12:52] <ottoshmidt> but on web it was written so [12:52] <jazzkutya> wine [12:52] <ottoshmidt> ok ill try wine [12:52] <unop> laughtear, are you sure you haven't got /dev/sda2 mixed up with /dev/sdb2 .. ?

[12:55] <laughtear> Baby_Shambl3s: could anybody give me an example for opening a folder as a root user, i think that could work, let me see the contents [12:55] <cwillu> tester, is the other user still logged in?

[12:58] <cwillu> tester, do you have a second machine you can log into irc with, or are you familiar with irrsi? [12:58] <laughtear> unop, Baby_Shambl3s:... and there is another hdd (320 gb) and this is the hdd which has 3 partitions: one of them is for ubuntu studio, another is for ubuntu intrepid ibex, and the last one is for swap. [12:59] <tester> cwillu, a) i don't, b) i'm not, but c) my other account can log into IRC because xchat is on auto-start. Programs that auto-start are fine so long as i don't close them [12:59] <laughtear> unop, Baby_Shambl3s: i have no problem with intrepid ibex, now using it to contact you. but the ubuntu studio partition has problem, can't boot (grup is out of order) etc.. etc...

[13:17] <jazzkutya> but agree visually it's a bit frustrating, the borderless terminal :) [13:17] <TiredWolf> Achoth, i really recommend using the Ubuntu-provided graphics drivers instead. [13:17] <unop> Achoth, chmod +x file.run; ./file.run [13:17] <nich^> haha :) [13:17] <unop> Achoth, you might need to use sudo as appropriate [13:17] <Achoth> TiredWolf: Why is that? [13:17] <Achoth> unop: Thanks [13:18] <yahya__> hi, how do iset which driver to use fort my gfx card? I want to use unichrome drivers ANYONE PLEASE?! it is urgent :S [13:18] <TiredWolf> Achoth: because 1) they were tested for Ubuntu 2) they're made to install files in the right places for Ubuntu 3) when you get upgrades (kernel upgrades for instance), the drivers will be updated too, instead of letting you with a blank screen [13:18] <TiredWolf> Achoth: see also /msg ubottu latest [13:19] <chrisyagami> em, i have problem with compiz fusion :S, see the screen blank :S when actived the effects [13:19] <Achoth> TiredWolf: Alright :) [13:19] <Achoth> TiredWolf: I've got ATi, so the latest drivers are tested on Ubuntu :) [13:20] <TiredWolf> Achoth: also, if you didn't know how to run the .run file, then you'll almost certainly be in trouble at the next important upgrade. (which doesn't mean that someone who does know how to run a .run file ought to install the drivers like that, i don't) === _kilian_ is now known as kili4n [13:20] <Adondai> anybody aware of a RSS reader which syncs with Newsgator Online? [13:20] <IndyGunFreak> !rss [13:20] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rss [13:20] <tre_27> yahya__: which driver are you using now? [13:20] <r0bertchik> Can anyone tell me what the difference is between "Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-19-virtual" and "Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-19-generic" (ie. the last word is "virtual" as opposed to "generic") [13:21] <IndyGunFreak> r0bertchik: probably nothing to get your panties in a wad over. [13:21] <yahya__> tre_27, VESA, it was elected by default :S [13:21] <TiredWolf> Achoth, well is there any compelling reason why you should use the drivers from upstream rather than the Ubuntu package? if not, then why would you. if yes, well there's always exceptions [13:21] <coagen> installing drivers with a .run file is usually a bitch because you have to do it manually each new release :| === endo602 is now known as _endo602 [13:21] <r0bertchik> they aren't in a wad - just wanted to to understand the difference between the two [13:21] <Achoth> TiredWolf: Now I know how to do it, so the next upgrade I'll be ready! [13:21] <tre_27> yahya__: last time i checked the unichrome driver was not included in ubuntu due to stability reasons. thanks to VIA's insane information policy... [13:22] <IndyGunFreak> r0bertchik: probably nothing that some extreme techie wouldn't understand.. i admit, i don't know. [13:22] <coagen> r0bertchik: generic is for general computers, and virtual is for virtual machines [13:22] <IndyGunFreak> well duh. [13:22] <TiredWolf> Achoth: except next upgrade you'll be left with a blank screen, so unless you know how to redownload the driver using a text-mode-only interface from the web, tough luck [13:22] <IndyGunFreak> i think he knew that much [13:22] <r0bertchik> coagen - can you explain? [13:23] <tre_27> !info xserver-xorg-video-unichrome [13:23] <ubottu> xserver-xorg-video-unichrome (source: xserver-xorg-video-unichrome): X.Org X server -- VIA display driver.

TiredWolf is right.. you need to be sure you can do an install with out X windows [13:25] <tre_27> yahya__: back up your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and then run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [13:25] <r0bertchik> Ok then - where does the Virtual boot menu item come from - since when you install by default it isn't there. Also - why would virtual machines be reading the local system's disk - wouldn't they be getting all their configuration information from the virtual hard disk? [13:25] <Achoth> coagen: I'm trying to learn how do use it, so yes [13:25] <Achoth> coagen: In the worst case I'll just write "irssi" and ask here [13:26] <coagen> Achoth: then please ask specific questions as you questions so far are quite generic === beaver___ is now known as beaver [13:26] <TiredWolf> coagen, i don't really know either, but i may suggest looking at "cat /boot/config-2.6.24-19-generic" (or whatever is relevant to your kernel) to see the options it has been configured with. if you install both the generic and the virtual, then do "diff /boot/...generic /boot/...virtual" to see what's actually different [13:27] <Achoth> coagen: I've just asked one question actually, about how to use .run files. The reason I cannot be more specific is because I am in fact a noob [13:27] <Abed> i would to install a file it is a *.package but i am a linux newbie [13:27] <coagen> r0bertchik: viritual boot menu item? you mean like the kernel selection? i dont know why its not there... i would assume it should be... the virtual kernel afaik was created for use in virtual machines with the jeos "just enough operating system" distribution of ubuntu designed specifically for virtual machines [13:28] <coagen> TiredWolf: thanks, thats right thats exactly where to find it :) === beaver is now known as beaver___ [13:29] <coagen> Achoth: ok how to use them? you mean how to execute them? you can do chmod +x filename and then ./filename or just sh filename [13:29] <unop> coagen, not all scripts will run under sh [13:30] <Abed> i would to install a file it is a *.package but i am a linux newbie [13:30] <coagen> unop: correct... so if that doesnt work then he must chmod! [13:31] <unop> coagen, he must - he doesn't have to - he just needs to run it under the appropriate interpreter [13:31] <Abed> i would to install a file it is a *.package but i am a linux newbie [13:31] <ompaul> !repos | Abed [13:31] <ubottu> Abed: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

[13:43] <rockyrock> guy plz give me a direct link to download wine for my Ubuntu 8.04 [13:44] <magentar> wine.budgetdedicated.com [13:44] <ompaul> rockyrock, if you have a net connection sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install wine [13:44] <rizingdamp> I have not so long ago made the switch from windows to ubuntu. Although I am struggling with it....I like to just sit in here and gleen what I can from other persons questions. [13:44] <Sorcererbob> rockyrock: apt://wine :) [13:44] <rockyrock> I have no internet connection [13:44] <Sorcererbob> ah, that makes it harder === ilSignorCarlo is now known as Mr_SpOOn [13:45] <Sorcererbob> apparently they don't host the current one on winehq [13:45] <rockyrock> magentar, thnx [13:45] <magentar> wine.budgetdedicated.com, rockyrock, but these are none official packages of the newest version [13:45] <Sorcererbob> the newest one I see is http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/ubuntu/hardy/wine_1.1.2~winehq0~ubuntu~8.04-2-0ubuntu1_i386.deb [13:45] <magentar> otherwise packages.ubuntu.com [13:45] <rockyrock> magentar, do they have bugs? [13:46] <magentar> hopefully less than the ones from the repository ;) [13:46] <Sorcererbob> rockyrock, of course. Even the newest WINE does [13:46] <Johnny> i installed xfce and its not in my gdm? [13:46] <zvacet> rockyrock :http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb [13:46] <n0gear> yoyo it worked...thanks a lot again [13:46] <IndyGunFreak> rockyrock: there's one thing you can always count on w/ wine, and thats bugs [13:46] <rockyrock> Sorcererbob, so guys what do u suggest? [13:46] <IndyGunFreak> rockyrock: what do you want to use wine for? [13:46] <magentar> it doesnt hurt to get the unofficial ones, and they work better for most applications [13:46] <rockyrock> It's only 7MB! [13:47] <rockyrock> IndyGunFreak, for Photoshop [13:47] <pogay> Is there a "user-fstab"? The Idee is that every user may have differnt wishes to mount, or avoid automatical mount. [13:48] <IndyGunFreak> rockyrock: thats just the wine package, hopefully you have the dependencies installed for wine, or you're gonna get stuck in dependency hell, w/o an internet connection(fun) [13:48] <pogay> may be i't possible to include in fstab a $user-fstab [13:48] <yoyoned> n0gear: np [13:48] <TiredWolf> pogay: you shouldn't stab users. but anyway, mounts are something system wide, unless you use FUSE which allows something akin to mounts without root permissions [13:48] <Johnny> does setting up /home in a different partition cause things to mess up [13:48] <jtravnick> rockyrock, why not just use gimp? [13:48] <ompaul> rockyrock, move computer with no access to a place where it has access to get your wine set up [13:48] <rockyrock> IndyGunFreak, are u sure that i will face depedencies? [13:48] <Johnny> i installed xfce and its not in my log in [13:48] <IndyGunFreak> rockyrock: i didn't say i was sure, but i'd bet its likely [13:49] <ompaul> rockyrock, you are making your life very hard the way you are doing it [13:49] <rockyrock> ompaul, it's a desktop man! [13:49] <yoyoned> Johnny how did you install xfce [13:49] <ompaul> rockyrock, and there are no heros when it comes to installing software - as for its a desktop I got 70 of them to manage :) [13:49] <Johnny> apt-get yoyoned [13:50] <TiredWolf> rockyrock: i'm a desklamp man [13:50] <IndyGunFreak> xfce wasn't in your session list Johnny [13:50] <rockyrock> ompaul, but i don't have internet!!!!!! [13:50] <IndyGunFreak> ? [13:50] <Johnny> nope IndyGunFreak [13:50] <pogay> TiredWolf: yes exactly- I' don't like the fuse drive in the fstab either [13:50] <ompaul> rockyrock, funny that, I could have sworn you are connected now [13:50] <rockyrock> ompaul, i'm talking from the cafe [13:50] <IndyGunFreak> weird. [13:50] <Sidd> I am planning on trying out KDE4 in Hardy, would the crowd here suggest installing it using Aptitude in Ubuntu Hardy or using Kubuntu? [13:51] <Johnny> kde sucks [13:51] <IndyGunFreak> Sidd: i would suggest just not using it..lol, but to me, its either or, use aptitude, remove it when it clogs your PC, or use a live CD. [13:51] <Sidd> Johnny: Why? [13:51] <znh> Sidd: kubuntu-desktop as package delivers the same as Kubuntu's CD/DVD [13:51] <yoyoned> Johnny a seperate /home partition souldn't affect it. Have you tried loggong out and restarting gdm by pressing ctrl-alt-backpsace [13:51] <Johnny> its intrinsic to its nature i guess Sidd [13:51] <Sidd> znh: I'm planning on getting KDE-4 [13:51] <Johnny> yes yoyoned [13:51] <Sidd> znh: Oops, I meant kde-core package [13:52] <rockyrock> magentar, guys can u know if i will face depedencies problem with the package that i already downloaded? [13:52] <ompaul> rockyrock, talk nice to staff and get yourself sorted in five minutes rather than back and forth and back and forth, have a look at http://pool.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/ [13:52] <LordMetroid> How do I prevent the need to login everytime the computer goes idle? [13:52] <znh> Sidd: perhaps on a clean Ubuntu Hardy (server installation) that might work out.. I would not suggest it on Ubuntu's default desktop installation [13:52] <Sidd> Johnny: What do you mean? Is it slow or something? [13:52] <IndyGunFreak> LordMetroid: system/pref/screensaver.. uncheck lock screen [13:52] <Johnny> no its just a shit desktop enviroment [13:52] <yoyoned> Johnny look in /usr/share/xsessions/ and see if there is an entry for xfce [13:52] <magentar> rockyrock, i think you will do... you can look them up at packages.ubuntu.com [13:52] <LordMetroid> IndyGunFreak, It is unchecked [13:53] <Johnny> it looks like a cartoonist nightmare [13:53] <Sidd> Oh [13:53] <IndyGunFreak> LordMetroid: ?.. are you sure?.. [13:53] <rockyrock> ompaul, execuse me guys but i have a very very bad internet it always disconnects [13:53] <magentar> rockyrock, it does not say there if the packages are installed or not... [13:53] <LordMetroid> IndyGunFreak, Yepp [13:53] <IndyGunFreak> Johnny: i totally agree w/ that... looks like something my 5yr old nephew thought up [13:53] <Johnny> yea yoyoned there is [13:53] <znh> rockyrock: you can avoid that with a so called IRC bouncer [13:53] <Johnny> yes IndyGunFreak [13:53] <Johnny> have you tried out awesome? [13:53] <yoyoned> Johnny also try installing xubuntu-desktop [13:54] <znh> rockyrock: pm me for more information as #ubuntu is offtopic for such talk [13:54] <Sidd> XFCE looks like Windows 95 [13:54] <Johnny> http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page [13:54] <Johnny> unless you configure it right Sidd [13:54] <IndyGunFreak> Sidd: except it doesn't lock up, isnt' slow, and you won't get molested by viruses/malware [13:55] <alex-weej> Sidd: and XFCE has a compositor... and looks way nicer... and you can move the panels... no I don't think it looks like Windows 95 at all. [13:55] <Sidd> IndyGunFreak: Rofl, Windows 95 never failed on me, especially when it was on [13:55] <IndyGunFreak> Sidd: lucky you. [13:55] <alex-weej> Sidd: what do you want from us here? [13:55] <Sidd> when it was off* [13:55] <pogay> has anybody tried enlightenment. Is it easy to install an additonal Dsiktop manager (where one can choose from by login). [13:55] <Johnny> in menu.lst what do i put vga= ? [13:55] <Johnny> just leave it blank? [13:55] <znh> pogay: yes. also E17 [13:55] * Cinderella linux QQ ?linux PP? Xchat [13:56] <alex-weej> johnny: nothing. why do you need VGA options in grub? [13:56] <TiredWolf> Johnny: what do you want to do? [13:56] <LordMetroid> I have heard three explotions the last couple of weeks from my computer and today I noticed three capacitors that has blown open on the motherboard... Maybe related tohttp://www.areta.org/~lordmetroid/shot.png :( What ya think? [13:56] <alex-weej> usplash should kick in straight away anyway [13:56] <TiredWolf> alex-weej: well, one might still want to use the console sometimes [13:56] <Johnny> because the terminal font is so big i cant see [13:56] <Sidd> LordMetroid: Do oyu have an nvidia card? [13:56] <alex-weej> TiredWolf: we have terminal emulators for that. [13:56] <LordMetroid> Yes [13:56] <pogay> znh: o.k. I will try it! [13:56] <Johnny> i want to be able to see the command line TiredWolf [13:56] <LordMetroid> Not overclocked though [13:56] <alex-weej> johnny: gnome-terminal [13:56] <TiredWolf> alex-weej: sure, and X never fails. [13:56] <Sidd> LordMetroid: I used to have an nvidia card, and after I came back from vacation, it used to be normal for a while and then that used to happen, exactly like in that screenshot [13:56] <TiredWolf> Johnny: what command line? [13:57] <alex-weej> it doesn't... we have bulletproof x now :) [13:57] <Vegombrei> hey guys is there a software for family tree etc ?? [13:57] <yoyoned> Johnny anwhere on the line that begins with kernel [13:57] <TiredWolf> alex-weej: i'm laughing [13:57] <Johnny> my boot [13:57] <Sidd> LordMetroid: Does that happen at startup or after a few minutes? [13:57] <th0r> Johnny what is the resolution of your monitor? [13:57] <Johnny> tty1-6 [13:57] <LordMetroid> Sidd, Just one day when I turned the computer on, it all looked like this [13:57] <alex-weej> TiredWolf: when does X ever fail? if it fails it falls back to a VESA mode [13:57] <Johnny> not sure th0r [13:57] <LordMetroid> From the beginning [13:57] <TiredWolf> Johnny: then just hit ctrl+alt+fN [13:57] <Johnny> how do i check quick [13:57] <pdonor> Üdv mindenki! [13:57] <th0r> Johnny well, can't tell you what to set vga= unless you can tell me the monitor resolution [13:58] <Johnny> how do i find out th0r [13:58] <TiredWolf> alex-weej: or it crashes the machine, or it keeps trying to load in a loop, or it loads with an awfully scrambled screen. [13:58] <alex-weej> TiredWolf: so exceptional circumstances then [13:58] <Johnny> "1440x900" [13:58] <TiredWolf> th0r: could always tell him to do "vga=ask", yet i'm not so entirely sure he needs any vga option [13:58] <yoyoned> Johnny I use vga=773 for 1024x768 [13:58] <pdonor> MAGYAR? [13:58] <TiredWolf> alex-weej: well, if X failing were a daily occurrence, i guess i would be on another OS already [13:58] <alex-weej> GWOBDOR [13:59] <Sidd> LordMetroid: Meh, I think it has something to do with the Nvidia card [13:59] <alex-weej> TiredWolf: exactly. :P [13:59] <yoyoned> grup vga codes http://www.mepis.org/node/2992 [13:59] <Sidd> LordMetroid: Oh wait [13:59] <TiredWolf> alex-weej: that doesn't mean the command line isn't useful. ever done ctrl+alt+f1, login, password, sudo halt, password to shut down, rather than wait ages for X to shut down, uhm, "properly"? [13:59] <EarthLion> hey, I just updated my nameserver /etc/resolv.conf how do i restart the network card without rebooting? [13:59] <Sidd> Lordmetroid: I remember a computer technician taking a look at it and there was a problem with the motherboard, apparently something had spoilt because it was too humid [14:00] <alex-weej> TiredWolf: no. PLEASE file bug reports for that kind of problem. [14:00] <alex-weej> TiredWolf: occasionally I ssh to my desktop to shut it down when I can't be arsed to go to it and hit the power button, though. [14:00] <TiredWolf> alex-weej: what kind of problem? X takes its time to shutdown because it has to nicely ask all programs to stop. then if there's something unsaved, it has to ask you. it's doing its job. [14:01] <TiredWolf> alex-weej: but *i* sometimes am just in a rush and need the computer powered off quickly. [14:02] <gfather> guys how can i install ubuntu alone , not on windows , shouls i boot and install from cd? [14:02] <hadeshorn> hey, my ath0 on my laptop has stopped being listed.. it can find lo and eth0 but ath0 has disappeared.. i cant ifup and ifdown it or anything [14:02] <hadeshorn> any ideas? [14:02] <bttb> Hi all === Sidd is now known as SidStudios [14:02] <alex-weej> TiredWolf: switching VT and LOGGING IN and then issuing sudo shutdown -h now and then TYPING YOUR PASSWORD *AGAIN* is not quicker than System->Shutdown->Power Off [14:02] <gfather> the thing im wondiring about , is that how can i boot between windows and ubuntu [14:03] <fyrestrtr> gfather: by restarting your machine. [14:04] <gfather> <fyrestrtr> i know that [14:04] <jazzkutya> gfather: want to install windows after ubuntu? I advise you to get the alternate cd then in time :) [14:04] <gfather> but does ubuntu installs a boot maneger , to chosoe between ubuntu and windows [14:04] <znh> gfather: yes, it actually does :) [14:04] <fyrestrtr> gfather: yes. [14:05] <gfather> :) [14:05] <fyrestrtr> gfather: as do most other linux distributions. [14:05] <gfather> coolz :) [14:05] <gfather> and if i formated windows after the installation that wouldent be a problem right [14:05] <znh> gfather: at the end of the installation process it lists the installed operating systems. verify if your installation is listed before installing the bootloader though ;-) [14:05] <cypherdelic> I got a mem-leak. Auto-hide of gnome panel causes the process to grow about 5mb when popup and again about 5mb when it auto-hide. On going, process never shrinks. Ubuntu Hardy 64bit, all updates. Compiz-off.

[14:06] <hadeshorn> znh, it just cant find ath0 now [14:07] <znh> hadeshorn: try running an older version of your kernel. seems the update messed up the module for your wireless chipset === Emilio_Eiji is now known as Emilio_Away [14:07] <hadeshorn> znh good idea.. let me give that a try [14:08] <gfather> <znh> im trying to remove ubuntu from the add/remove program , but its not working ?

[14:14] <remoteCTRL> also after restart [14:16] <jtravnick> is there a way to get rhythmbox to play more random than it does out of the box? [14:17] <TiredWolf> ... more random? [14:18] <jtravnick> yea i have it on shuffle but yet there are some songs it hasnt ever played and some that it will play almost every time i start it [14:18] <LordMetro> I hate being dissed [14:18] <gfather> :S , guys it wont get uninstalled [14:18] <LordMetro> nothing is working beyond fobar [14:18] <Kaja> That's the whole point in dissing - i guess. [14:18] <enzotib> jtravnick: these are the pros and cons of statistics [14:19] <shashi> I am facing a problem with DNS in Ubuntu 8.04 AMD64. If use any 32-bit browsers (flock,netscape,etc...) on a 64-bit Ubuntu platform, from the browser if i type any URL, then the DNS name resolution is not happening. But for 64-bit browsers this problem is not there. I think some library is missing in Ubuntu 64-bit. Anyone tell me what package do i need to install to overcome this problem ? [14:19] <TiredWolf> jtravnick: well, randomness can very well result in that, you know, or it wouldn't be randomness if it played every track every time. however, it's possible that there is an actual problem in the shuffler, see bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/rhythmbox/+bug/6297 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/138629 [14:19] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 6297 in rhythmbox "Shuffle not random enough" [Undecided,New] [14:20] <SidStudios> Does anyone here have a perspective of how FreeBSD compares to Ubuntu?

Welcome! [14:20] <SidStudios> TiredWolf: I'm on FreeBSD, and I want to try out Ubuntu [14:20] <chi_> SidStudios: ubuntu is desktop freebsd is server ... in a nutshell ;D [14:21] <TiredWolf> SidStudios: ok, but it's not an ubuntu support question, and it's the sort of thing that often results in flamewars. given this channel has very many people, such discussions are better held in #ubuntu-offtopic [14:21] <bastid_raZor> SidStudios; grab a liveCD and try it that way. [14:21] <yoyoned> SidStudios: det a live cd, you'll not have any trouble [14:21] <SidStudios> TiredWolf: Ok, thanks for the advice [14:21] <znh> chi_: FreeBSD can be a nice desktop [14:22] <shashi_> I am facing a problem with DNS in Ubuntu 8.04 AMD64.

Despite resetting my compiz settings it still happened again, so I'll check another OS before buying a new one lol [16:06] <bazhang> Aaron_Mason, audacity the editor or audacious the player [16:06] <unop> elexodus, you cannot change permissions and ownership of files on a FAT partition :) [16:06] <Aaron_Mason> editor [16:06] <amenado> lucky711x-> try s/#*//g [16:06] <zvacet> lucky711x : system>admin>software repositories>check source [16:06] <z0man|brb> thx <jazzkutya> : I'm gona do my final test and then blog my findings :P [16:06] <unop> elexodus, if you find you cannot write to files on this partition - see the mount manpage [16:06] <elexodus> jazzkytya: What would be the command in terminal? "sudo mount -o uid=1000 /dev/sda4 /media/HappyTrees"? [16:07] <ttye0> Is there any reason why after a kernel upgrade all of my snd_* modules don't exist? I'm used to building a kernel from scratch, but I'd like to get my sound back the Ubuntu-way ;) [16:07] <jazzkutya> elexodus: first you have to unmount it: umount /dev/sda4 [16:07] <elexodus> unop: that would explain a lot. [16:07] <m0u5e> why oh why is youtube considered a (type=DropdownMenu) [16:07] <m0u5e> is there a way to specify a % opacity with (type=DropdownMenu) while !youtube [16:07] <jazzkutya> elexodus: then mount /dev/sda4 /media/sda4 -t vfat -o uid=1000 [16:07] <unop> amenado, lucky711x - s/^[[:space:]]*#+//g # so as not to remove stuff that would occur somewhere except at the begining of a line [16:07] <jazzkutya> but i don't know of ubuntu will allow this [16:08] <lucky711x> amenado, that just removed #'s not the comments that followed [16:08] <unop> lucky711x - s/^[[:space:]]*#+.*//g [16:08] <Aaron_Mason> s/#.*//g [16:08] <elexodus> jazzkytya: hold up, just a second [16:09] <jazzkutya> elexodus: and using sudo, of course [16:09] <amenado> lucky711x-> then Aaron_Mason solution is much better, i misunderstood you [16:09] <amenado> or unop too [16:09] <n-iCe> which one is mi microphone http://www.torroella.pastebin.com/m763ccf15 [16:09] <n-iCe> O.o [16:09] <elexodus> jazzkytya: nope, same permissions, and same error [16:10] <ttye0> For some reason my sound modules weren't built. I'm using the 2.6.24-19-generic kernel. How can I get my sound modules back without a manual recompiling of the kernel? [16:10] <jazzkutya> elexodus: the command id tells you your uid. what is it? [16:10] <unop> elexodus, have you been listening to me? you cannot do what you want to do with a FAT filesystem [16:10] <lucky711x> Aaron_Mason, unop amenado same results nothing changed [16:11] <unop> lucky711x, sed does not change the original files unless you use -i to it or redirect the output to a new file [16:11] <lucky711x> this is what im using sed 's/#.*//g' <file> [16:11] <unop> lucky711x, sed -i 's/^#.*//g' <file> [16:11] <amenado> lucky711x-> add -n to not print as default [16:11] <elexodus> unop: I heard, I'm just trying anyway. [16:11] <unop> elexodus, that's silly [16:11] <lucky711x> wow i feel dumb [16:12] <unop> lucky711x, don't forget the ^ otherwise it will remove everything after a # on any line [16:12] <n-iCe> which one is mi microphone http://www.torroella.pastebin.com/m763ccf15 [16:12] <jazzkutya> unop: why is it not possible? [16:12] <lucky711x> i used sed 's/#.*//g' <file> > <newfile> and it worked like a charm [16:12] <unop> jazzkutya, FAT does not support these operations [16:12] <elexodus> jazzkytya: right now I am "uid=0(root)" [16:12] <unop> lucky711x, errm no [16:13] <lucky711x> unop, thats what i was needing [16:13] <jazzkutya> unop: yes but you can mount it in a way that everything is owned by the user [16:13] <unop> lucky711x, that might have taken off more than you wanted [16:13] <jazzkutya> unop: get out of sudo and then id again [16:13] <unop> lucky711x, consider this. echo -e "foo\nbar#moo\n#foo" | sed 's/#.*//' [16:13] <jazzkutya> unop: sorry :) [16:13] <apo> Hi, anybody got experience with pam_mount? Seems like cron segfaults on jobs for the users that have pam_mount enabled... [16:13] <jazzkutya> elexodus: get out of sudo and id again [16:14] <elexodus> jazzkytya: uid=0(root) [16:14] <elexodus> jazzkytya: oops, I mean uid=1000(elexodus) [16:14] <jazzkutya> elexodus: outside sudo??? open a new terminal and id there [16:14] <jazzkutya> oic [16:15] <elexodus> jazzkytya: yes, uid=1000(elexodus) [16:15] <jazzkutya> elexodus: unmount the volume by rightclicking on it [16:15] <Aaron_Mason> unop, that seemed to work fine as well [16:15] <elexodus> jazzkytya: not an option [16:15] <jazzkutya> and then try sudo mkdir /mnt/sda4;sudo mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/sda4 -t vfat -o rw,uid=1000 [16:16] <mnereson> Hello. I have a daily cron job that is shutting down my box, not sure which job. Can I put a statement in the crons to output something to the syslog? what do I use to ouput to syslog? [16:16] <unop> Aaron_Mason, if you use s/#.*// as opposed to s/^#.*// - everything after # on ever line no matter where # is is removed .. not just comments [16:16] <jazzkutya> elexodus: is /dev/sda4 in you /etc/fstab? [16:16] <goldengold> Hai... [16:17] <goldengold> Can anyone reccommend a free good e-book on configuring and starting Ubuntu?

[16:23] <flawer> I installed ubuntu from windows. How do I get rid of it? The uninstall program doesnt work [16:23] <bazhang> flawer, you tried add/remove? [16:23] <flawer> yes [16:23] <flawer> and the uninstall program [16:24] <flawer> nothing happends [16:24] <flawer> triend in admin mode [16:24] <bazhang> flawer, you can still boot into ubuntu or not [16:24] <Led-Zeppelin> o [16:24] <flawer> I think I can.. I havent met any uninstallation [16:24] <mnereson> amenado: thanks. no jobs are listed. I am looking at /etc/cron.daily$ syslog indicates that its one of the 8 jobs in here that are causing the shutdown, but I dunno which one [16:24] <bazhang> flawer, try and do so [16:24] <flawer> k === Jimboez is now known as RickyBoby [16:25] <amenado> mnereson-> can you paste some of the lines from your syslog? [16:25] <schroedinbug> amenado, all the time. [16:26] <jflower> Hi, I'm after nVIDIA drivers that'll allow me to enable "Desktop Effects" under System -> Appearance. I've tried the ones which Ubuntu and EnvyNG download for me, but they don't seem to function correctly since they cause the desktop colours to be wrong, and result in screen resolutions which I can't change. [16:26] <amenado> schroedinbug-> are you sure you did not mis-count? can you paste the results of your fdisk -l; and mount ? === AskHL_ is now known as AskHL [16:28] <schroedinbug> amenado, fdisk -l output http://rafb.net/p/wi5iAO50.html [16:30] <lopin> Hello! I appear to be having a slight problem resizing a Vista Partition. It would appear that about midway through rearranging my data, the kernel could no longer read my disk. I'm in linux now, and the drive appears to be readable, however, the computer refuses to start vista for anything. I've already run ntfsresize -fi , chkdsk, and bootrec /fixmbr, all with no help. Can anyone help me out here? [16:30] <Sp0tter> Are there any pre-made completly auto install Ubuntu Server cd's made? I've been trying tom ake my own, but ubuntu wont let me create a key over terminal.. so I went to the consoel and it worked but then i got a 'tail error in debian paackager' when i tried to repackage the keyring [16:30] <Sp0tter> would love it if there was one premade, just need basic auto server install [16:30] <ManualOverDozer8> lopin how big is the partition that you were making ? [16:30] <lopin> 80 GB. [16:31] <amenado> schroedinbug-> yeah, you are right..however, its odd that another flag is enabled to tell the bootloader your /dev/sda5 is bootable? [16:31] <ManualOverDozer8> lopin: by chance, is that SATA ? [16:31] <heavensrevenge> hello [16:31] <lopin> Indeed. [16:31] <heavensrevenge> i believe i hid my firefox bookmark menu [16:31] <heavensrevenge> is there an option to "unhide" the firefox bookmark menu?? [16:31] <lopin> Right click on the address bar, and select the bookmark menu. [16:31] <ManualOverDozer8> lopin: i had same exact issue with XP machine on 500gb HDD, havent yet to find a solution [16:32] <lopin> Damn... [16:32] <ManualOverDozer8> i know [16:32] <heavensrevenge> the menu, not the toolbar [16:32] <heavensrevenge> the MENU, like the dropdown menu [16:32] <ManualOverDozer8> lopin: as a test i made a 2gb partition, and it worked just find, somewhere over 20gb it fails badly [16:32] <hkais> hello, how can I display my keystorkes under linux? [16:32] <lopin> Okay... Guess I'm going to have to copy everything to another computer with FTP while I can read the drive, and reinstall everything... This kinda sucks... [16:32] <heavensrevenge> the toolbar ok, done and done, but the menu [16:33] <h00k> lopin, have you tried booting from the Vista DVD and clicking "Startup repair" or something similar? [16:33] <mnereson> amenado: did you receive my syslog lines? any ideas? [16:33] <amenado> heavensrevenge-> its probably somewhere in about:config i've seen it in a tip and tricks of firefox, but offcourse i cant remember which [16:33] <lopin> Well, I removed the ubuntu drive fine, and have been playing with this partition for a while. Move data from one into the larger one, then absorb the smaller one. [16:33] <amenado> mnereson-> nope, use the pastebin please [16:33] <jazzkutya> hkais: you can use xev if this is what you want [16:33] <ManualOverDozer8> lopinL i tried multiple partition managers and they all did the same, so, i would assume its and OS issue. if this info helps any [16:33] <heavensrevenge> ah, thank you,m ill dig around about:config [16:33] <lopin> h00k, Yes, it said it repaired it, but I still have a lovely blinking cursor on reboot... [16:34] <lopin> heavensrevenge, Did you hide it with the Del.icio.us add-on? [16:34] <jazzkutya> heavensrevenge: right click and customize? [16:34] <chi_> lopin: did you install something on the very first partition after the windows install was made? [16:34] <jazzkutya> heavensrevenge: with this you can drag the bookmark menu back [16:34] <heavensrevenge> i might have, it was quick and i barely even saw the word "hide" [16:34] <ManualOverDozer8> lopin: i even tried a proggy called Spinrite to check the dirve, and the drive shows good [16:35] <lopin> I'm reading the drive right now. I'm in an Ubuntu live disk, and all my data is there... [16:35] <juanma> holas a todos [16:35] <lopin> It just refuses to boot. [16:35] <Gnea> lopin: did you backup your data from vista before attempting the resize? [16:35] <schroedinbug> amenado, would that make a difference though? I agree that it's odd... [16:36] <schroedinbug> I always seem to run into strange things when helping others with Linux... [16:36] <lopin> heavensrevenge, There should be a menu option to get it back in the add-on options... I'm not sure exactly where it is, but it should be in a menu marked for integration or similar... [16:36] <Petengy> hi to all [16:36] <mnereson> amenado: http://pastebin.ca/1084351 [16:36] <heavensrevenge> hmm [16:36] <heavensrevenge> i added a bookmark icon [16:36] <heavensrevenge> and have a bookmark sidebar [16:36] <lopin> Gnea... No, I was a bad little techie... I've still got most of it on other drives, and I can definitely read the disk right now, so I'll be copying the rest to another computer [16:36] <heavensrevenge> which shows the menu entry, but it actually isnt added to the top menu [16:37] <amenado> schroedinbug-> i dont know, but you are coming across it, also perhaps check your /boot/grub/device.map to see what the entry is [16:37] <masteredu> !german [16:37] <ubottu> Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [16:37] <Gnea> lopin: for future reference, you may wish to consider a neat debian-based program/livecd called clonezilla (clonezilla.org) [16:38] <Gnea> lopin: it works great with ntfs partitions [16:38] <lopin> Gnea, thanks for the info! Noted. ^.^ [16:38] <heavensrevenge> WOHO [16:38] <heavensrevenge> got it [16:38] <heavensrevenge> thanks people [16:38] <elexodus> hey unop... [16:38] <unop> hey [16:39] <kane77> what is a good backup program for ubuntu? (I mostly need to back up source files so it would be cool if the program could show me diff between versions) [16:39] <unop> kane77, svn [16:39] <amenado> mnereson-> i dont see from your log which one shuts your system down...not from what you pasted so far [16:40] <kane77> unop, yeah, but the files are already a versioned by svn.. I need something to back up my files between commits [16:40] <elexodus> unop: you owe jazzkutya an apology. [16:40] <Petengy> after the last automatic ubuntu system upgrading the wireless connection stops to work properly , somenone have some ideas ? [16:40] <lopin> Well, thanks for the help guys. I really appreciate it. [16:40] <h00k_> lopin, good luck [16:40] <kane77> unop, plus back up other files as well (system settings etc.).. [16:40] <mnereson> amenado: thats what I am trying to find out, which job is causing the shutdown. the question was, can I put a statement in each cron job that outputs the name of that job to the syslog? so the next time it shutsdown, i can see the last job that was executed. [16:40] <amenado> Petengy-> its been reported by many, same experience you just had [16:41] <unop> elexodus, i do? [16:41] <elexodus> yup. [16:41] <lopin> h00k_, Thanks. [16:41] <amenado> mnereson-> yes, on the script that is run by cron, you can insert a syslog command [16:41] <elexodus> unop: he got the permissaions and ownership fixed on the fat32 partician. [16:41] <Petengy> amenado-> so what I have to do ?? [16:41] <jazzkutya> unop: we've edited fstab to have uid=1000 [16:41] <lopin> Worst comes to worst, I can still read the drive fine on Linux. So, I'll just copy the data over if it still won't boot... [16:42] <unop> kane77, i'm not sure why you would want something like that as svn stores the differences/deltas between versions so it is always possible to recreate/revert to a particular version [16:42] <amenado> Petengy-> which wifi chip do you have? sudo lshw -C network [16:42] <masteredu> can some one help me , i have inputed today my old screen , becouse i will use 2 screens , but ubuntu only detect one [16:42] <unop> elexodus, if i may say so - you've just worked around the issue not really fixed it :) [16:43] <unop> jazzkutya, cool. it's what is needed [16:43] <elexodus> unop: I don't care... It works. [16:43] <Sp0tter> I get this error when repackaging the debian key ring for an auto installer: tail: cannot open `debian/changelog' for reading: No such file or directory . How do i fix it? [16:43] <Petengy> amenado-> 1 minute :) [16:43] <sivel27> hello all [16:43] <GraniteGargoyle> anyone know how to get 3d acceleration on an older radeon mobility? [16:43] <Sp0tter> hello sivel27 [16:44] <kane77> unop, the thing is I dont want to commit state that does not function and lately I have been working on one thing and I accidentally deleted whole working copy with changes I made that were not yet commited.. so I want something to back me up between commits... [16:44] <schroedinbug> amenado, don't have access to the machine now, but this is what happens with grub: http://rafb.net/p/KLV6Xo58.html [16:44] <Petengy> amenado-> Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection [16:44] <sivel27> is there any way possible to recover logs that someone rm -rf 'd?

Have a great day! [16:46] <Petengy> amenado-> ok [16:46] <bazhang> elexodus, not here.

I'll look at that when I can get to the machine later. Thanks. [16:48] <qid> In the System > Administration > Network dialog, I've configured my laptop's wireless to connect to my access point, but it ignores the settings and connects to a different one.

[16:53] <ManualOverDozer8> shashi: have you looked at System/Administration/Services ? [16:54] <Sylphid> amenado, Intel Turbo Memory (codenamed Robson,[1] also known as a Robson cache) is a technology introduced by semi-conductor company Intel to utilize NAND flash memory modules, reducing the time it takes for a computer to power up, access programs, and write data to the hard drive. [16:55] <rtz3724> Sylphid: AFAIK there is no support for Intel Turbo Memory in linux yet [16:55] <GraniteGargoyle> where do I enable 3d acceleration? it recognizes my grafx but I don't think 3d is enabled [16:55] <amenado> Sylphid-> i would think that requires a kernel module compile, am sure those are used in embedded systems, look in your /boot/config* to see if that module is compiled in [16:55] <paranoid_> hi all, I'm having a problem with ndiswrapper - I've followed all the instructions, and everything from the ndiswrapper side of things seems to work - but when I modprobe it, no other network cards show up in iwconfig or ifconfig - anyone got any suggestions? [16:55] <Sylphid> thanks rtz3724 [16:56] <shengfanly> d [16:56] <rtz3724> amenado: no, Turbo Memory is not the same as flash storage [16:57] <amenado> rtz3724-> oh okay, the way he worded seems it was.. [16:57] <jazzkutya> amenado: it's the way flash memory used to accelerate booting [16:57] <amenado> rtz3724-> just curious though, what do you meant by flash? [16:58] <rtz3724> amenado: flash memory in compact flash or solid state disks [16:58] <amenado> jazzkutya-> yes, and used in embedded systems as they dont have hd usually [16:59] <jazzkutya> amenado: yup, they are fast by default :) [16:59] <amenado> rtz3724-> oh okay, i still dont know what he meant by that turbo memory then [16:59] <rtz3724> amenado: but this intel turbo memory thing is using nand flash as a cache for reading/writing hard disk [16:59] <jazzkutya> amenado: things needed while booting are loaded from a pendrive instead of hard disk, avoiding seek times [16:59] <ndo> noone knows what is Debians default filesystem? [17:00] <ndo> :D [17:00] <bazhang> ndo, ask in #debian [17:00] <ndo> ohh, wow, okey, ty:) hf [17:00] <nand> yeah, nand memory rocks! [17:01] <roch09> need help with vista dual boot? please. [17:01] <amenado> rtz3724-> ah okay, it is i thought it was.. i think i have seen it in the uclinux development kit mentioned. [17:01] <bazhang> roch09, via wubi or alongside [17:01] <roch09> alongside [17:01] <bazhang> roch09, what issues are you having [17:01] <jazzkutya> what is wubi?

[17:02] <roch09> i did my research but got some issues to clarify\ [17:02] <bazhang> roch09, go ahead [17:02] <roch09> my vista bootloder is wingrub, because i did not buy it === kernel_ is now known as tj83 [17:03] <bazhang> roch09, ubuntu installed yet? [17:03] <roch09> no [17:03] <roch09> if i instal ubuntu, will it replace wingrub [17:03] <gctpoy> hi everybody [17:04] <fyrestrtr> roch09: yes [17:04] <gctpoy> anyone to chat with me [17:04] <bazhang> roch09, it will add vista to ubuntu grub [17:04] <roch09> then will vista still work [17:04] <bazhang> gctpoy, this is not a chat channel [17:04] <bazhang> roch09, define 'work' [17:04] <roch09> because its a cracked copy - vista [17:04] <brenoplucena> sup [17:05] <bazhang> roch09, vista will still 'work' [17:05] <roch09> means will it ask me for activation [17:05] <roch09> because the cracked versions come with wingrub [17:05] <bazhang> roch09, no idea about that ; ask in ##windows for vista questions === freaky[t] is now known as fReAkY[t] [17:06] <bazhang> !piracy > roch09 [17:06] <ubottu> roch09, please see my private message [17:06] <roch09> k, one morre [17:06] <jevangelo> hey, what programs can decode dvd's in order to burn them back to dvd to make copies [17:06] <pixlated> I setup remote desktop in Hardy, i can see it listening on 5900, however it's not letting me connect (telnet tested) [17:06] <bazhang> k9copy is one jevangelo [17:06] <pixlated> what else do i have to do? [17:07] <roch09> no, i want dedicated grub bootloader for the seperate partition i created for ubuntu, i dont want it to over write the wingrub [17:08] <bazhang> roch09, you are talking about a pirated version of windows, both of which are offtopic here. [17:09] <lux0815> hi, how i can compile a kernel module for a specific version eg 2.6.20.1? [17:09] <Dmole> do I need FreeRadious to use CoovaChilli? [17:09] <jevangelo> thanks, looks like what i will go with [17:09] <pixlated> i even disabled the firewall with "ufw disable" [17:09] <pixlated> still not working [17:10] <roch09> I want a seperate grub because i want to instal different versions of linux in the separate partition [17:12] <unop> roch09, you can only have one active bootloader at any one time -- and grub is capable of dealing with multiple operating systems [17:12] <bazhang> unop, he is dealing with a pirated version of windows [17:13] <unop> bazhang, oh. hmm. still [17:13] <roch09> thanks for the help :) [17:13] <barra_> good day [17:14] <barra_> anyone around with 32bit ubuntu and an ATI graphics card who wouldn't mind helping an open source project? [17:14] <bazhang> barra_, the system is not working or you are soliciting [17:14] <barra_> we would need a volunteered for testing something as it seems that our engine doesn't work with ATI cards :-/ [17:14] <barra_> * volunteer [17:15] <bazhang> barra_, best to discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic [17:15] <barra_> oki bazhang, thanks for the pointer [17:15] <unop> roch09, you can set ubuntu to not overwrite the mbr when installing -- and then you can configure your other boorloader (wingrub??) to boot ubuntu later [17:16] <roch09> thanks unop [17:16] <lgc> Hi: What do people here think about this: http://www.howarddarkes.com/photos/linuxposter.jpg? [17:17] <unop> lgc, offtopic [17:17] <jpds> lgc: #ubuntu-offtopic please, this is a support channel. [17:17] <bazhang> lgc funny but offtopic; please paste to #ubuntu-offtopic not here [17:17] <os2mac> not to mention your trolling. [17:17] <kkrusty> I've installed gutsy but I want it to be converted to another system (without a display). Wired networking works but I want to have wireless working. Any ideas? [17:18] <lgc> Three almost-instant replies to tell me this is off-topic! Jeez! [17:18] <Gnea> lgc: go get a real education. [17:18] <lgc> Gnea: what do you mean by that? [17:19] <unop> Gnea, don't prompt him. [17:19] <roch09> Unop shall i create a dedicated grub partition [17:19] <bazhang> lgc we were polite. please stop. [17:19] <Gnea> !troll | lgc [17:19] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about troll [17:19] <Gnea> huh [17:19] <ompaul> lgc, let me prove it is offtopic, (Q) was your post ubuntu support related (A) no, therefore offtopic [17:19] <kkrusty> let me rephrase. I installed linux on system A. Now I want that installation to work on system B without a display. It works except not the wireless. [17:19] <kkrusty> linux = gutsy [17:19] <ompaul> lgc, I'll de codify that for you, drop it fully [17:19] <pixlated> I can putty in but I can't vnc in to my new ubuntu desktop [17:19] <lgc> Gnea: why do 'newcomers' like you have to make #ubuntu such an unfriendly place? [17:20] <pixlated> how do i fix that? I don't want to tunnel vnc thru ssh, please help [17:20] <unop> roch09, not if you want to continue using wingrub [17:20] <pixlated> iptables --list shows no rules at all, ufw is disabled. i have no clue, wtf === away is now known as Sivvis [17:20] <Swish> I'd like to know if ufw is reasonably good vs. shorewall firewall [17:21] <unop> roch09, if you decide to set the ubuntu installer from overwriting the mbr with grub - you'll need to configure wingrub to boot ubuntu after the install. [17:21] <Sydero> Do any of you guys run snort on your home computers? [17:21] <Swish> so if it is, I can not install shorewall on 8.04 :) [17:21] <Petengy> amenado-> tnx for your suggestions... I found the solution to my wireless failure [17:21] <Petengy> :) [17:21] <Dmole> pixlated: try nxserver [17:21] <CatEater> there's a page on the wiki that's called HowToConfigureUbuntuForMicrosoftVirtualPC2004, but it looks like someone did a search and replace to change all the names to 2007 [17:21] <pixlated> ok, ty Dmole [17:22] <jazzkutya> pixlated: netstat -tnl|fgrep 5900 ? [17:22] <CatEater> is the info on that page for 2004 or 2007? [17:22] <os2mac> lgc: interesting that your only other chat room is ##windows starts to sound like a troll to me... and pretty quickly heading toward the ignore function. [17:22] <kkrusty> is gutsy old? [17:22] <Gnea> os2mac: calm down, he was expunged [17:22] <pixlated> jazzykutya: tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:5900 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN [17:22] <pixlated> it's listening... [17:22] <Pete40> anyone else having troubles connecting to the Undernet servers? I keep getting disconnected with the message that my PC is infected (like thats' gonna happen on Linux :) ) [17:22] <mrtin> how do i play a sound from the terminal? [17:22] <os2mac> os2mac ~ Teh Troll Killa..... [17:22] <jazzkutya> pixlated: i see... where did you telnet to it from? linux or windows? [17:23] <pixlated> windows [17:23] <pixlated> from windows [17:23] <Deep6> can anyone point me to a link for enabling 5.1 sound in Banshee? [17:23] <jazzkutya> try linux instead [17:23] <jazzkutya> like telnet localhost 5900 [17:23] <Sydero> Are there any gui programs that can remove daemon services easily? [17:23] <pixlated> yes, i see the RFB header [17:23] <Amun> I'm using the nvidia-glx-new drivers for my nvidia fx 5950 ultra. however, when i watch a full screen video, the video seems to be choppy/shakey. its hard to explain... is there a fix for this? [17:23] <CatEater> how do i get old versions of pages on the ubuntu wiki? [17:24] <roch09> K, got you chief, but before i install, i am stuck at step 4 - disk partition. I have a empty 40 gb partition with NTFS, I guess I need to reformat it with EXT3 in step 4. I am a bit confused as to what I should do here, what does mount mean [17:24] <pixlated> jazzkutya: i see the RFB header when i do it from the same machine [17:24] <Pete40> Amun: you could download the drivers straight from nvidia [17:24] <CatEater> what does "recovery mode" do in the grub menu? [17:24] <jazzkutya> pixlated: did the windows telnet explicitly said connection refused? [17:25] <roch09> unop - i am using desktop live cd [17:25] <CatEater> it apparently doesn't boot to a text console [17:25] <Amun> Pete40, thats a 'for sure' problem with the ones that come with ubuntu? [17:25] <pixlated> jazzkutya: no, but it does fail immediately with "Connecting To devm43k99...Could not open connection to the host, on port 5900: Connect failed" [17:26] <Skenvoy> Does anyone know how I can "upgrade" an existing hardy install's boot drive to raid-1? [17:26] <Pete40> Amun: doubt it, but I'm rather stuck getting connected [17:26] <pixlated> jazzkutya: also, my only network card in Ubuntu is my wireless card if that matters. [17:26] <Pete40> Amun: oh wait, you were talking about your drivers, sorry :) === rambo3 is now known as joomla_abuser [17:27] <pixlated> jazzkutya: how can i start some other simple server (like an echo server) on ubuntu? [17:27] <pixlated> jazzkutya: so i can test another port [17:27] <Amun> Pete40, what did you think i was talking about? [17:27] <mrtin> how do i play an mp3 from terminal?? [17:27] <Pete40> Amun: I'm not sure but I believe the nvidia-glx-new driver is a version of the driver you can find on the nvidia site. [17:27] <Xteven> hi, is anyone using fuppes ? [17:27] <Gnea> mrtin: sudo apt-get install mpg321 [17:28] <Pete40> but nvidia updates their drivers more frequently as ubuntu does their repositories [17:28] <jazzkutya> pixlated: ehm.. that would be an easy question for me if using slackware, but... :) [17:28] <Pete40> Amun: thought you responded to my question about getting disconnect on Undernet [17:28] <mrtin> Gnea, and what would the command be for playin the sound?

[17:45] <esac> id like to have truecrypt unmount my partition after i have gone idle for 15 minutes, or when i lock or suspend the computer. since truecrypt doesnt seem to support this, any idea how i can do this from within linux? [17:45] <bazhang> remoteCTRL, which theme? got a link? [17:45] <Gnea> CatEater: huh... are you sure the grub line itself is formed correctly? [17:45] <joomla_abuser> remoteCTRL, install in /usr/share/themes , copy the extracted folder there [17:45] <roch09> pixel - I mean when i specify /dev/sda3/home for Mountpoint. take your time [17:45] <CatEater> it's the line that it was installed with [17:46] <remoteCTRL> bazhang: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Dark+Shine+Icons+for+GNU%2BLinux?content=84463 that one is only a tar.gz with icons in it but nothing that changes a theme [17:46] <Gnea> CatEater: one moment. [17:46] <bazhang> remoteCTRL, you put them in which folder? [17:46] <wols_> roch09: /dev/sda3 can't be a mountpoint. and /dev/sda3/home is utterly wrong [17:46] <CatEater> i can run the install and most of the boot process but it always ends up with video garbage and then blank, regardless of which boot option [17:47] <CatEater> i have never been asked to log in === Tizz is now known as Tizz_aw === Tizz_aw is now known as Tizz [17:47] <remoteCTRL> bazhang: ~./icons [17:47] <wols_> CatEater: what is your kernel line for the recovery boot option?

[17:49] <CatEater> i have the xubuntu alternate cd [17:49] <liviu> try the screensaver esac! [17:49] <pixel_dust> for example when you connect a usb hdd or jump drive and it loads up that is a mount point [17:49] <esac> liviu: it would be easy for a user to disable screensaver [17:50] <wols_> CatEater: you have a cd you can boot from and which can mount your installation partition. that's all that's needed [17:50] <CatEater> oh right [17:50] <liviu> esac???

[18:01] <cpk1> CatEater: I think there is a grub option, but cant remember it.

(Maybe in fstab or udev?) [18:06] <Gnea> CatEater: the long string is the UUID of the device, which makes it easier for portability reasons (if you wanted to put the drive in as a slave instead of a master, or on a different channel, ubuntu wouldn't become confused about what device it needs to load and therefore completely lockup - the UUID prevents that) [18:06] <tbooher> du just shows me my usage -- /etc/fstab doesn't show . . . o.k [18:06] <bazhang> remoteCTRL, /usr/share/icons seems to be it [18:07] <rw> Nobody knows how to turn down the system volume using the command line?

[19:07] <elmajestro> hello can I help me [19:07] <nitai> klstein if youre on gutsy or hardy just use System>Hardware Drivers they get downloaded from there [19:07] <elmajestro> I have a problme [19:07] <NETWizz> Fusion and Avant Window Navigator won't run [19:07] <bazhang> CatEater, any particular reason you need vpc 2004? vbox vmware and others are much more modern and robust vms [19:07] <NETWizz> I think the Nvidia driver is broken [19:07] <Kagee> ryan_: why would you want to do that? [19:08] <NETWizz> When I am all done fixing, I should just install it [19:08] <CatEater> can't use vmware, won't let me create a vm [19:08] <CatEater> says so on the page at least [19:08] <klstein> nitai: I don't have internet access on that computer right now. [19:08] <nickrud> Onyx that's better for #ubuntu-offtopic, minus the profanity [19:08] * CatEater looks up vbox [19:08] <klstein> nitai: I need to download onto my flash drive and then put it onto my Ubuntu. [19:08] <elmajestro> my mouse doesn't work [19:08] <fyrestrtr> CatEater: virtualbox [19:08] <ryan_> i would like to change it because for some reason i cannot write or copy anything into it [19:08] <Onyx> w0rd nickrud. [19:08] <klstein> nitai: So I need a website. [19:08] <elmajestro> help me please [19:08] <nitai> i have a deb package [19:08] <ryan_> im new so [19:09] <Kagee> ryan_: why would you want to copy / move anything to "file system" ( slash -> / ) [19:09] <elmajestro> ryan help me [19:09] <elmajestro> please [19:09] <Kagee> ryan_: You keep your files at /home/yourusername [19:09] <CatEater> yay i have something new to try [19:09] <Flannel> ryan_: You don't need/want to change those permissions, there are other ways you go about doing that when you need to. [19:10] <Kagee> ryan_: But you probably dont want to start savinf files at /. You could create /extra and put files there, if you dont want to have them under /home/username [19:10] <ryan_> ok well im trying to digg into apacha, just trying to learn somenew things, i followed the link http://www.anujpathania.blogspot.com/2008/06/installing-apache-web-server-on-ubuntu.html [19:11] <Flannel> ryan_: Try this instead: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [19:11] <Kagee> ryan_: And the problem is? Your'e not allowed to put files in /var/www ? [19:11] <Kagee> Flannel: The guide looks OK [19:12] <ryan_> ok ya i figured that but wasnt sure [19:12] <Flannel> Kagee: Mmm, now that it loads, yeah. [19:12] <Flannel> ryan_: actually, that guide is fine. The problem you're running into is putting stuff into /var/www, because its owned by root. [19:12] <Flannel> Oh, Kagee's two steps ahead of me. [19:13] <Kagee> ryan_: Well, you can change the permission on /var/www so you can put files there, put it's common to have webpages in /home/username/public_html [19:13] <mhz128> hello world [19:13] <Kagee> well, hello mhz128 [19:13] <mhz128> How do I change application file associations? ie. mp3 players [19:14] <BBin> Any way to make gnome desktop launchers behave like KDE ones? [19:14] <Kagee> BBin: In what way? [19:14] <araen> hello [19:14] <ryan_> ok [19:14] <th0r> mhz128, try right clicking on the file in the filemanager and choose 'Properties'. Not sure about gnome, but that works in xfce [19:14] <BBin> The react on the first click I belive, anyway thatä's what i want [19:14] <BBin> @kagee [19:14] <Kagee> ryan_: What do you prefer? [19:15] <ryan_> i guess the public [19:15] <ryan_> i installed apache [19:15] <mhz128> th0r: neat, does that change the association for all files of one type? or just that particular file [19:15] <araen> i've just installed php/mysql/apache/etc... but i've a problem [19:15] <th0r> mhz128, for all of that extension. Again, not sure about gnome...let me know [19:15] <Kagee> mhz128: All files [19:16] <Kagee> i checked [19:16] <Bllz> i can't select "important security updates" in software sources.... what gives? [19:16] <araen> i've created a link /var/www/ to /home/araen/site/ [19:16] <araen> /var/www/site/ [19:16] <Casey> Hey guys [19:16] <Kagee> ryan_: Someone how's using apache have to tell you what to activte, i'm using lighttp [19:16] <araen> but when i'm going http://localhost/site [19:16] <araen> i've an 403 error [19:16] <Josh2> when i install the nvidia drivers (form their website) onto my ubuntu machine, everything is great, until i reboot, then it's like the drivers cant be found. xorg boots in low res and i have to reinstall the driver and reboot X. - does anyone know what might be done to stop that problem ? [19:16] <mhz128> is Nautilus the equivalent file manager? [19:16] <araen> forbidden [19:16] <mhz128> for gnome [19:16] <araen> can you help me ? [19:16] <ryan_> ok [19:17] <sciz> oh herro [19:17] <th0r> mhz128, yes, for gnome [19:17] <ryan_> but is apache like an ftp or something [19:17] <Flannel> ryan_: Its an http server [19:17] <ryan_> ok [19:17] <Kagee> ryan_: apache is a webserver. You can view pages from the server in your webbrowser [19:17] <nickrud> araen a simple thing to do is: sudo a2enmod userdir && sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 force-reload, and move the stuff from ~/site to ~/public_html. It's accessible at localhost/~<username> [19:18] <Kagee> ryan_: you need another program to upload files using ftp [19:18] <mhz128> awesome! thank you [19:18] <Kagee> ryan: sudo a2enmod userdir && sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 force-reload [19:18] <Bllz> why am i unable to check the "important security updates" box under software sources? [19:18] <sciz> is there a channel for C++ help on this server? [19:18] <Flannel> sciz: ##C++ [19:18] <fyrestrtr> try #c++ [19:19] <ryan_> ya i was just wonder since apache installed then y would the files be put in a locked folder [19:19] <sciz> thanks :) i tried that, told me it didn't exist [19:19] <Kagee> ryan_: sudo a2enmod userdir && sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 force-reload [19:19] <allquixotic> sciz: hmm, try ##c, but very gently, lots of anti-C++ people there ;) [19:19] <nickrud> Bllz put a copy of your /etc/apt/sources.list on paste.ubuntu.com. I'd guess there's a problem with the software sources app having trouble parsing that file [19:19] <Flannel> sciz: ##C++ exists [19:19] <Kagee> ryan_: the create public_html in your home folder and place som files there [19:19] <ryan_> wut will that do [19:19] <Bllz> nickrud: okay. give me a sec [19:19] <ryan_> ok [19:20] <allquixotic> ##c++ worked for me, with a lowercase c [19:20] <Kagee> ryan_: those files should be avalible on http://localhost/~tourusername [19:20] <ryan_> just paste that into the terminal [19:20] <ryan_> ok [19:21] <Kagee> ryan_: first the whole sudo-line, then create the folder (public_html) and some files, then test it [19:21] <elexodus> Anybody have experience with ProFTP? [19:21] <Bllz> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu.com/30991/ [19:22] <fyrestrtr> ryan_: are you just trying to share files between two computers? If so, you don't need Apache [19:22] <ryan_> ya kinda its not something i have to do like like an learning experience === lot is now known as Tak [19:22] <ryan_> but yes [19:22] <nickrud> Bllz you have security listed more than once, try commenting out (putting a # at the beginning of the line) lines 56 and 57 [19:23] <Bllz> nickrud. okay one sec [19:23] <Kagee> BBin: Nautilus -> Prefrences -> Behaviour [19:23] <sorin-mihai> hi. i'm trying to replace the swap partition with a swap file. anyone did this till now? anyone know a _good_ tutorial for this? [19:23] <Flannel> !swap | sorin-mihai [19:23] <ubottu> sorin-mihai: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [19:23] <nickrud> Bllz actually you only need line 57 sorry [19:24] <BBin> Kagee: That applies to all of nautilus, i want only the desktop icons [19:24] <Kagee> fyrestrtr: you explain the «moving files without apache»-part :) [19:24] <Bllz> okay [19:24] <Kagee> BBin; I see. give me a moment [19:24] <fyrestrtr> Kagee: scp, ftp, nfs, NTFS, fuse [19:24] <klstein> Can anyone help me find the bcm4328 file with bcmwl5.inf driver and rest of the stuff you need for ndiswrapper?

[19:25] <nickrud> Bllz yep [19:25] <sugi> what's the command line for checking my 3D support? it's like "gxlf"? [19:26] <Bllz> nickrud: still wont work [19:26] <allquixotic> sugi: glxinfo | grep direct [19:26] <sugi> allquixotic: thanks [19:26] <Bllz> is there a way i can try to select those updates via command line? maybe i'll get a more verbose error message [19:26] <spasticteapot> Hmm. [19:26] <trigpin> fyrestrtr:what am i looking [19:26] <Flannel> Bllz: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [19:27] <fyrestrtr> trigpin: what do you want to do? transfer files between two computers? Or share files from one computer to many computers [19:27] <klstein> Can anyone help me find the bcm4328 file with bcmwl5.inf driver and rest of the stuff you need for ndiswrapper? [19:27] <Bllz> Flannel: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded [19:27] <fyrestrtr> !bcm [19:27] <ubottu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [19:27] <nickrud> Bllz hm. save that copy, and try using the ones at aphroneo.net , they are a pretty much default setup. You can add back proposed and medibuntu if it works [19:27] <Kagee> BBin: I'm sorry, i couldn't find anything [19:27] <klstein> Okay, I found it. ^^; [19:28] <ryan_> which would be the easiest [19:28] <Bllz> nickrud: okay. i'll do that later on, thanks for the help! [19:28] <Bllz> Flannel: thanks for the help! [19:28] <sorin-mihai> Flannel, thanks. [19:28] <montpelie> HI THERE, I've got a Gateway Tablet PC with Gutsy on it but I'm having problems getting the built.in microphone to work, any suggestions? [19:28] <BBin> Kagee: Thanks anyway :) [19:28] <trigpin> fyrestrtr: i was hoping to dowload files between computers [19:30] <fyrestrtr> use ftp [19:30] <fyrestrtr> not apache [19:30] <Flannel> use sftp, its a lot easier to set up than ftp (install openssh-server... done!) [19:30] * fyrestrtr is having dinner [19:30] <Bubalooshi> How can I get PearPC working on Ubuntu Hardy? [19:30] <montpelie> HI THERE, I've got a Gateway Tablet PC with Gutsy on it but I'm having problems getting the built.in microphone to work, any suggestions? [19:32] <eie> !seen iei [19:32] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about seen iei [19:32] <Bubalooshi> What is the repository for installing PearPC on Ubuntu 8.04/Hardy? [19:32] <ryan_> well maybe this is for another time thanks a bunch tho <Kagee> and <fyrestrtr> === tolecnal_ is now known as tolecnal [19:33] <Kagee> BBin ? [19:33] <BBin> Kagee: Yes [19:33] <markturnip> Hey, I have a Mac formatted external drive which won't mount in Leopard. DiskWarrior suggests it's a hardware failure. However Ubuntu will mount it fine, I just don't have permissions to access some folders. [19:33] <BBin> still here [19:33] <markturnip> I wonder if anyone know if I can fix the drive to work on my Mac, or otherwise authenticate it to let me copy the files off.... [19:33] <AMorozov> Hi! Does anybody know how to remove binding of the 'Meta' modifier (Mod4 if I remember correctly) from the corresponding Alt key ?I have set upOption "XkbOptions" "grp:lctrl_lshift_toggle,grp_led:scroll,altwin:meta_win"in the appropriate section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf but Emacs still think that M- is on Alt key (which is [traditionally] uncomfortable for me) [19:33] <markturnip> I've downloaded testdisk, but I feel sure it's crashing, either that or it's really slow! [19:33] <Kagee> BBin: You CAN say that Nautilus shoudn't draw the desktop, and have another program do that [19:34] <BBin> Kagee: How is that on the CPU? === niki77 is now known as nikola77 [19:34] <Kagee> probably not mutch [19:34] <BBin> I've got loads of spare memory but the cpu is kind of loaded [19:34] <Bubalooshi> How can I install PearPC on Ubuntu Hardy? [19:34] <klstein> Is anyone else getting "404 not found" when trying to install packages? [19:35] <klstein> Like a 404 error? It can't fetch the packages? [19:35] <AMorozov> I know that some other distros put an xinit script that does such a modification via xmodmap (once upon a time RedHat guys decided that would be fine to bind Meta to Alt for Emacsers) but I can't find anything like that script in Ubuntu [19:35] <BBin> Kagee: so what program should I use? Kde's desktop drawer? [19:35] <tonohono> How might I go about forcing a downgrade from python2.5 2.5.2-2ubuntu5 to python2.5 2.5.2-2ubuntu4? Attempts to force the version in Synpatic have been unsuccessful. [19:35] <Kagee> BBin: You probably dont want to mix kde programs into that mix yet [19:37] <Zopiac> what programs in Sessions manager are necessary to have ubuntu running? (not, say, the gnome-bars, but to actually log in, etc) [19:38] <alex-weej> Zopiac: are you trying to be clever and trim down? [19:38] <Josh2> anyone ? - when i boot my machine, the nvidia drivers are being forgotten, and i have reinstall them for x to work correctly [19:38] <Zopiac> @alex...sure? [19:38] <Kagee> BBin: I know it's possible, but i cant find a replacement program [19:38] <alex-weej> Zopiac: they're all necessary for some functionality to work [19:39] <fyrestrtr> Zopiac: none [19:39] <Zopiac> well, i mean, i want to have pidgin, compiz, and gnome-do open at startup, thats it (i believe). can i take off EVERYTHING else, or does something(s) have to stay [19:40] <BBin> Kagee: I'm googling too [19:40] <fyrestrtr> Zopiac: the login is taken care of by the gdm, so beyond that -- what you do is upto you. [19:40] <Zopiac> because i left my computer with only those programs on the startup list, but something bugged and i had to reset my account prefs to have that account open ANYTHING at login [19:40] <fyrestrtr> tonohono: you can fiddle with the policy file for it, and force a version [19:42] <Abed> i would like to install bluesnarfer but i get this [19:42] <trigpin> fyrestrtr : manged to connect used ip instead of host name , i use ssh because its more sercure than ftp [19:42] <Abed> !pastebin | Abed [19:42] <ubottu> Abed, please see my private message === DreamThi1f is now known as DreamThief [19:43] <tonohono> fyrestrtr, thanks for the info, though a split second before ye responded I managed to install the ubuntu4 package by manually downloading the .deb and kindly performing dpkg -i --force-version down [19:43] <masteredu> Ubuntu rules :P [19:43] <tonohono> er, --force-downgrade [19:43] <Abed> i am trying to "sudo make" but i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/30998/ [19:44] <kenkku> Abed: first of all, make does not require sudo, since it only compiles [19:44] <kenkku> Abed: second, did you run ./configure? [19:45] <Abed> kenkku there is no ./configure [19:45] <kenkku> Abed: oh, really? weird [19:45] <Abed> yeah [19:45] <kenkku> Abed: did you read the install file?

[19:45] <ajhtiredwolf> Hey, im having a problem in ubuntu possibly with the graphics driver, when starting up instead of showing the splash screen it will show white lines where the taskbars should be. and when doing an animation in avant all the icons get similar white blocks over them till the animation is done [19:45] <HymnToLife> kenkku: how is that weird? lots of programs don't need a configure scripts [19:46] <Abed> kenkku the read me sucks but i will find another one and back to u [19:46] <kenkku> HymnToLife: I haveb't encountered one yet. but yeah, well, maybe it's just so simple it doesn't need one [19:46] <kenkku> Abed: you probably need some -dev library there [19:47] <Sydero> IS THE BYTECODE INTERPRETER ENABLED BY DEFAULT?

[20:36] <tomasko> btw, the purekde thing worked wonderfully [20:36] <arrrghhh> under gnome and doing that, i'm the only admin... [20:37] <Charles> I have a broadcom wireless driver, and when I install ubuntu under wubi, i am unable to connect, and I can't install ndiswrapper either [20:37] <ManualOverDozer8> arrrrg: can i say ? not sure what you are asking. please be more specific. the screensaver options are easy to find [20:37] <Entropy51423> Does anyone know what all can be determined by Wireshark [20:37] <tomasko> i dunno how this happens, but sometimes in gnome when i play urbanterror, the game windows and keeps control of my mouse and sorta my keyboard. that's why i wanted to get off it because it doesn't do that in kde [20:37] <elexodus> Anybody wanna betatest my FTP server? [20:37] <bunz> what's on it :P [20:37] <Sydero> no :P [20:37] <arrrghhh> ManualOverDozer8, but those don't effect gdm, the login. before anyone logs in. i want that screen to sit for 10 mins top, then turn off the monitor. [20:37] <Gillpy> elexodus: how you mean ? [20:37] <Sydero> yeah [20:37] <Sydero> depends what's on it [20:38] <hou5ton> anyone know how to get 8.10 to see usb mass storage? [20:38] <Sydero> It should already recognize it [20:38] <Entropy51423> tomasko: Change visual effects to none under System Preferences Appearance [20:38] <elexodus> gillpy: I just set it up, want to make sure it works properly. I have a little bit of media on there right now. === Pinky is now known as Pinkeh [20:38] <ManualOverDozer8> arrrrrg: oh yes, i see now, the main login. yes there is an option to change it, but as for knowing it offhand, i forget [20:38] <arrrghhh> ManualOverDozer8, and i'm the only acct that's allowed to "administer the machine" and my kde screen settings behave differently than the gdm login screen. [20:38] <Gillpy> so where is it ? [20:38] <ryan_> <Entropy51423>i believe wireshark is for packet anyalizing [20:38] <elexodus> Bunz, a little bit of media. [20:38] <kane77> hou5ton, 8.10? thats only alpha now.. you should be running something more stable.. [20:38] <arrrghhh> ManualOverDozer8, yea.. i've been searchin for it. i can't find it. [20:38] <elexodus> hold on [20:39] <Entropy51423> I know that, but what can be determined from its output? [20:39] <ManualOverDozer8> Entropy: wireshark abilities are somewhat dependent on your hardware [20:39] <hou5ton> kane77: needed a later kernel [20:39] <hou5ton> kane77: checking it out [20:39] <Sydero> elexodus, I'll test :P [20:39] <kane77> hou5ton, and things concerning intrepid should be discussed in #ubuntu+1 [20:39] <badfood> Hi everyone, does anyone have difficulties capturing the window border with "gnome-screenshot --window --include-border" when Compiz is running? No matter what I do, if I have "Visual Effects" set to anything but "None", it won't capture the window border [20:39] <ManualOverDozer8> arrrrg: i will do quick search as i do know of what you mean now. give me a few mins please [20:39] <ryan_> um well if ur connected to a network you can see most aim messages [20:39] <Entropy51423> Okay, I have a wireless router in my room but the actual tower is in the office [20:40] <arrrghhh> ManualOverDozer8, not a problem! thanks. [20:40] <hvgotcodes> if i have a ttf how do i install it? [20:40] <thomas__> I need help with fan controlling on my HP laptopn, I would really appreciate some help. Please msg me ------ [20:40] <ryan_> with other programs you can get email passwords too [20:40] <Blaqlight> arrrghhh: I feel your pain. [20:40] <IndyGunFreak> Entropy51423: so what is the problem?... you can't get on the router w/ your laptop? [20:40] <crimsun> trigpin: err...why are you running that kernel? [20:40] <Gigs> I have a quad core Intel CPU... Since upgrading to Hardy, simply moving my mouse in circles on my desktop causes 1 core to sustain about 30% usage. If the mouse is still, all cores hover around 10% or less. Why does Hardy need 20% of a CPU just to move the mouse? [20:41] <Entropy51423> No, I was trying to decide between Wireshark and Kismet [20:41] <crimsun> trigpin: because 2.6.25 is most definitely not supported for hardy (or any other Ubuntu release for that matter) [20:41] <kane77> ryan_, that really depends.. ssl should keep you safe [20:41] <IndyGunFreak> oh ok. [20:41] <Entropy51423> I know a little more about Kismets ability than Wiresharks [20:42] <ryan_> o yes srry but if u use a email client which doesnt have that, which is uncommon i use gmail [20:42] <hvgotcodes> noone can tell me how to install a ttf font? [20:42] <badfood> So, no one else is having problems capturing the window border with "Visual Effects" set to anything but "None"?

I use gmail too.. [20:42] <thomas__> I need help with fan controlling on my HP laptopn, I would really appreciate some help. Please msg me ------ [20:43] <hvgotcodes> IndyGunFreak: thanx [20:43] <IndyGunFreak> msg ubottu private [20:43] <arrrghhh> ManualOverDozer8, yea i've logged into gnome and looked at those...

[20:43] <kenkku> !patience | thomas__ [20:43] <randorfer> Entropy wireshark is a gui on top of tcpdump (basically) [20:43] <kane77> ryan_, and now they even made everything use ssl, not only login [20:43] <Entropy51423> So kind of like Synaptic is to apt [20:43] <thomas__> Sorry.. [20:43] <ryan_> o rlly [20:43] <ManualOverDozer8> arrrrg: ok, there is another way in the main scripts running at boot, but then, i dont even mess witht hem at all [20:43] <ubottu> thomas__: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [20:43] <ere4si> thomas__: you need the right h/ware to do that [20:44] <ryan_> well im sure in the future someone will get past that [20:44] <wally34> looking for Andrew H are you here? [20:44] <arrrghhh> ManualOverDozer8, yea i was thinkin it was in gconf files but i couldn't find it... [20:44] <hou5ton> crimsun: ya ... but anything less that 2.6.25 won't work wireless on some laptops [20:44] <trigpin> crimsum: i don't understand how i suddenly got a different kernel i just used update manger :p [20:44] <snarkste1> i have this video card, which driver should i install? 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon IGP 330M/340M/350M [20:44] <ManualOverDozer8> arrrrgg: exactly what i was speaking of, not my territorty to suggest options there [20:45] <arrrghhh> ManualOverDozer8, that's cool [20:45] <trigpin> crimsum: is it safe to remove unwanted kernel from synaptic and will boot menue be updated ? [20:45] <badfood> Hi everyone, does anyone have difficulties capturing the window border with "gnome-screenshot --window --include-border" with visual effects? No matter what I do, if I have "Visual Effects" set to anything but "None", it won't capture the window's border. [20:45] <ManualOverDozer8> arrrrg: ask every now and, then (just dont flood same question) and i am sure someone can help you [20:46] <wally34> can anyone here help a complete newbi? [20:46] <arrrghhh> ManualOverDozer8, oh i won't flood with questions... i know irc ediquette :P [20:46] <rw> wally34: yes [20:46] <ManualOverDozer8> wally: what seems to be the issue? state your question. [20:46] <kane77> wally34, not unless you ask a question.. we are not telepathic.. === Claw6 is now known as Ben7856 [20:47] <arrrghhh> trigpin, i don't know if removing the the kernel will update the menu.lst, but there's gui interfaces for editing that if you don't want to manually edit it. [20:47] <elexodus_> gillpy, sydero, any luck? [20:47] <Entropy51423> So Wireshark is to tcpdump as Synaptic Package Manager is to apt [20:47] <wally34> just burned first disk 64 bit on quad core pc ... trying to boot from cd and only get a prompt initramfs. [20:47] <trigpin> arrrghhh: ok thanxs , whats the gui called ? [20:47] <randorfer> ryan_ I highly doubt that someone will 'get past' ssl in the near future. SSL is just a framework that uses different encryption algorithms in order to securly transmit messages over the internet. Ie as people develop attacks against an encryption algorithm (ie DES) it can be swapped out for something more secure (tripple des) -- read up on it a bit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Sockets_Layer [20:48] <drugo> hello [20:48] <amenado> wally34-> try the alternatecd [20:48] <ManualOverDozer8> WireShark is a nice proggy, yet, i believe tcpdump works with more hardware [20:48] <wally34> what is that?\ [20:48] <crimsun> hou5ton: that's why there's linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-20-generic in hardy-proposed [20:48] <badfood> useless [20:48] <akaaka_> hello can someone help me, i need to check what level number its my vm.swappiness [20:48] <akaaka_> what command do i need to type [20:48] <akaaka_> to check this [20:48] <dogfacehat> how do I use gnome core? [20:48] <randorfer> ManualOverDozer8 I am pretty sure wireshark works with the same libs as tcpdump [20:48] <drugo> do you know how to compile and install the latest version of gnome (2.23.5) on ubuntu 8.04?) [20:48] <hou5ton> crimsun: that's still not 2.6.25+ [20:49] <drugo> is there any package ready for installation? [20:49] <wally34> amenado what is the alternate cd [20:49] <ryan_> o very cool well that is good to know [20:49] <genewitch> is there software that supports VSTi on ubuntu? [20:49] <Entropy51423> Another question is that I have heard Nvidia works better than Radeon [20:49] <xiantia_> yes wareshark and tcpdum use pcap lib [20:49] <akaaka_> hello can someone help me, i need to check what level number its my vm.swappiness [20:49] <akaaka_> what command do i need to type [20:49] <arrrghhh> trigpin, the package is called qgrubeditor [20:49] <drugo> do you know how to compile and install the latest version of gnome (2.23.5) on ubuntu 8.04?) [20:49] <amenado> wally34-> as opposed to the liveCd...look around where you downloaded your iso from [20:50] <akaaka_> hello can someone help me, i need to check what level number its my vm.swappiness what command do i need to type [20:50] <ManualOverDozer8> randorfer: unfortunate, but WireShark doesnt work on this card, whereas is did with 7.x , just havent got to removing/reinstalling it, as i dont use it much [20:50] <arrrghhh> Entropy51423, generally yes. since they're now owned by amd that might change... [20:50] <wally34> ok will do ....thanks [20:51] <ManualOverDozer8> arrrrg: thanks, i will take a look at that> qgrubeditor [20:51] <Entropy51423> Darn, I will only have enough for the Radeon 4850 any time soon, not the competing Nvidia [20:51] <crimsun> hou5ton: why does that matter? we're speaking of wireless-testing.git, snapshots of which are merged into that package. [20:51] <akaaka_> hello can someone help me, i need to check what level number its my vm.swappiness what command do i need to type [20:51] <TiredWolf> akaaka_: cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness [20:51] <TiredWolf> !repeat | akaaka_ [20:51] <ubottu> akaaka_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[21:07] <cxo> 640mb of ram is plenty [21:07] <Flannel> myubu: 2x or 1.5x [21:08] <cxo> my machine has been up for 34 days, and i'm only using 10mb of swap [21:08] <mrtin> myubu, 510 mb maybe [21:08] <cxo> and i'm running 2 virtual machines [21:08] <cxo> you wouldnt need more than 100mb [21:08] <ManualOverDozer8> myubu: i have 512 of RAM and it seems to run fine, although more should be better [21:09] <rohan> i have 1 gb ram and swap is 2 gb [21:09] <rohan> ubuntu runs like a charm [21:09] <ryan_> i have 2gb ram 2.3gb swap [21:09] <ManualOverDozer8> i forget where to adjust the swaps, info please [21:09] <Flannel> myubu: Either 960 (1.5xRAM) or 1280 (2xRAM) is standard [21:09] <arrrghhh> !swap [21:09] <ubottu> swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [21:09] <linxeh> mrtin: no they dont, most can be fooled [21:10] <ryan_> runs great but also running off portable hard drive [21:10] <cxo> This is not windows people [21:10] <arrrghhh> go there :P [21:10] <arrrghhh> you don't need that much swap [21:10] <arrrghhh> unless you have little ram [21:10] <bunz> 2xram is for old days [21:10] <cxo> linux will never ever use the swap unless it really has too [21:10] <bunz> i got 4gb i use virtual no swap [21:10] <linxeh> arrrghhh: how do you know? I've got 128GB swap on a box at work [21:10] <rohan> thast what the ubuntu page mentions in idela scenario [21:10] <bunz> would be stupid to make 8gb swap partition [21:10] <mrtin> linxeh, i have one, it works ok [21:10] <arrrghhh> linxeh, well you have to monitor your swap usage.... [21:10] <TiredWolf> mrtin, i suspect not out of the box. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/T4220 says "Fingerprint reader (supported by aes2501-wy and libfprint)" among "What does not work out-of-the-box and is solved" [21:10] <joel__> HOW CAN I UNRAR WITH LINUX ? [21:10] <alan_m> bunz, agreed..ubuntu generally makes the right choice for you so you dont have to tweak your swap later ;) [21:10] <alan_m> !caps | joe_ [21:10] <ubottu> joe_: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [21:11] <TiredWolf> !rar > joel__ [21:11] <ubottu> joel__, please see my private message [21:11] <cxo> you dont need more than 100mb for a general purpose workstation [21:11] <Sydero> I can't even find my swap partition :S [21:11] <rohan> instal the package unrar [21:11] <rohan> from synaptic [21:11] <linxeh> arrrghhh: indeed, we have 128GB of ram on that box and often more than 100GB in a single process (with multiple processes up to that size around) [21:11] <mrtin> TiredWolf, thanks man ill ckeck that out [21:11] <cxo> How do you turn on/ off services at boot up with 8.04 ? [21:11] <arrrghhh> linxeh, i don't think my swap was ever touched even on 1gb of ram [21:11] <TiredWolf> cxo, Linux will use swap quite often even when it technically really doesn't have to, spare us the misconceptions, and #ubuntu-offtopic if it's not support [21:11] <linxeh> arrrghhh: :-) [21:11] <myubu> wow, thanks for the replies, everyone, well since this machine is ancient old, I'm running pc chips Amptron m810lmr and Duron 800 with pc 100 - 133 memory. [21:11] <Sydero> well there's the /etc/rcx.d directories [21:11] <rohan> go to system-services [21:11] <Sydero> and /etc/init.d directories [21:12] <cxo> TiredWolf, i beg to differ, that information is incorrect [21:12] <Flannel> !bum | cxo [21:12] <ryan_> same ive never seen my swap touched [21:12] <ubottu> cxo: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [21:12] <arrrghhh> i've heard half your memory if you have 1gb_ [21:12] <arrrghhh> + [21:12] <TiredWolf> cxo: then join #ubuntu-offtopic and we can discuss it [21:12] <cxo> isnt that linux related? [21:12] <TiredWolf> cxo: this is a SUPPORT channel, it's not an "anything linux related" channel [21:13] <cxo> ok [21:13] <rohan> please refer --- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq --- section -- How much swap do I need? [21:13] <cxo> Nevertheless i'm not going to debate something I know for a fact is incorrect [21:13] <myubu> will i have a performance issue with these specs? [21:13] <arrrghhh> i still want to know how to change the monitor timeout settings for gdm login screen! [21:13] <TiredWolf> rohan: as much as you have RAM. unless you have a tiny amount of RAM (for nowadays standards), i doubt you'd need more. [21:13] <Flannel> myubu: No [21:13] <bunz> myubu: it all depends on what you will be doing on it. for web browsing and lurking in irc probably not :P [21:14] <rohan> hmm ok [21:14] <rohan> i will try that next time with my installation :) [21:14] <ManualOverDozer8> gpart used to make/enable swaps [21:14] <ManualOverDozer8> ? [21:14] <rohan> Triedwolf -- so ideally what do think if i allot nothing to swap? [21:15] <TiredWolf> rohan: i think that is very bad. [21:15] <myubu> and is it best to use the onboard graphics sis 630 graphics or the pci agp 9600 ati 128mb card? [21:15] <rohan> hmmm ubuntu deosn't allot anything by default as far as i know am i correct [21:15] <bunz> as long as that card is supported the ati is your best shot [21:15] <TiredWolf> rohan: Linux favors swapping out applications to allow for more filecaching space, and it does that for pretty sound reasons, and that's independent of how much RAM you have. also, you need at least as much swap as you have RAM if you want to use hibernation. [21:16] <rohan> aha thats a valid point [21:16] <Muntrue> Guys, i want to experiment with Python programming. So i snuffed out the following 2 apps Python-glade2 and Python-gtk2. They are both installed but i cant run them. Whats up ? [21:16] <Sydero> how do I determine the size of swap? [21:16] <TiredWolf> what's with swap today? [21:16] <unop> Sydero, swapon -s [21:16] <ere4si> arrrghhh: from here - http://linux.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/alt.os.linux.suse/2006-07/msg00138.html - turning off xgl will let the login screen blank [21:16] <sabaoer> Hello.. I wonder what kind of /etc interface there are in Ubuntu for keeping track on whether there are an running internet connection [21:16] <sabaoer> sorry for my broken english ;-) [21:17] <unop> Sydero, or cat /proc/swaps [21:17] <rohan> just a general discussion regarding swap - we can change the topic as well :) [21:17] <soloturn> hi [21:17] <sabaoer> the thing is that I use Firefox (3.0, some beta version) and an alternative connection app [21:17] <obake-san> hey, i just updated my kernel in hardy, and the grub failed to load so i had to point out where to load ubuntu in the grub editor, and now my graphics card is suddenly not working. nvidia no longer shows up in the hardware drivers, and i have no idea how to set it up. any help would be appreciated [21:17] <Sydero> hmmm my swap is 2000 MB :/ [21:17] <arrrghhh> ere4si, well the monitor turns off eventually. it goes black and then turns off after 40 mins or so. [21:17] <myubu> okay, so 640mb of ram i have, what should my swap be? [21:18] <unop> sabaoer, what kind of information are you after? [21:18] <Muntrue> Guys, i want to experiment with Python programming. So i snuffed out the following 2 apps Python-glade2 and Python-gtk2. They are both installed but i cant run them. Whats up ? [21:18] <jester_> Muntrue: probably a better question for the python channels, but i'll give a quick point in the direction. The python-gtk2 (and i'd guess glade2) are just packages that let you import the functionality of GTK2 and glade (which are actually rather separate window environments i think) so there's really nothing to "run". rather you import stuff, and use it appropriately [21:18] <myubu> about 100mb [21:18] <rohan> uninstall everything called nvidia and then there is something called envy use that it will auto detect the card [21:18] <arrrghhh> ere4si, but kde it turns the monitor off right away, after 20 mins or whatever i have it set to. i'd like gdm login screen to turn the monitor off after 5 mins or so. [21:18] <rohan> and install the driver [21:18] <unop> Muntrue, those are python libraries to be used in your python scripts [21:18] <fen> Muntrue:purge them and then reinstall [21:18] <unop> fen, err no [21:19] <sabaoer> unop, the thing is that Firefox works in offline mode even if the connection is online [21:19] <arrrghhh> myubu, i'd say 512-1024mb depending on your space constraints. [21:19] <jester_> Muntrue: Sorry for the very vague question, but my actual experience with that is about nilch, i just have a notion of what you need [21:19] <ManualOverDozer8> my swapfile 643mb (via guided install, whole drive ubuntu) [21:19] <jester_> vague answer, im an idiot :) [21:19] <sabaoer> unop, so I wonder how Firefox determines that in ubuntu :-) [21:19] <SubZeRo666[NL]> Hi Guys, i have a very strange problem. When i install ubuntu on HD, after reboot i get a complete system hang after POST screen. Complete black screen, no harddisk activity. It is also not possible to select to boot from CD-ROM. When i connect same harddisk via usb, zero the disk and put it back, than i can boot again from the cd. It seems that BIOS hangs on reading the MBR of the disk or something. How can i make grub as verbose as p [21:19] <myubu> my space is 80gb and my ram is only 640mb [21:19] <unop> sabaoer, yea, you'll either have to set network manager to use the other connection as the default - how that is done i do not know as i don't use gnome [21:20] <ere4si> arrrghhh: I found little else about that with google - is it your setup perhaps? [21:20] <Muntrue> unop, jester_ Makes sense, but i got this webpage im looking at and they run the app GLADE. Maybe i got it completely wrong (no idea whatsoever about python) take a look if you will and tell me im crazy :) http://www.learningpython.com/2006/05/07/creating-a-gui-using-pygtk-and-glade/ [21:20] <arrrghhh> myubu, i'd say make it 1gb swap then. [21:20] <Flannel> myubu: Go ahead and double up your RAM then. 1280MB swap [21:20] <fen> unop: sorry ge said he snuffed them [21:20] <Sydero> Create a swap of 10x your ram ;) [21:20] <arrrghhh> ere4si, i guess. i use kde, but other users use gnome. and gdm works better as a login manager! [21:20] <Flannel> Sydero: That'll do absolutely no good [21:20] <unop> Muntrue, you want the glade and glade-gnome packages for the actual glade gui [21:20] <Sydero> it could be ;) [21:21] <rohan> what is the best way of learnig the networkin stuff - i mean any manuals guides ?

I spaced that glade was the dev environment [21:21] <fen> Question: how to I export a CUPS printer to another Ubunto box on the same subnet [21:22] <Muntrue> jester_, I think i have to install the glade package for the actual program. Gonna check the python channel to see if i need 1 ,2 or 3 lol [21:22] <rohan> ok thanks a lot [21:22] <fen> It is a Canon Printer, to I only want the Canon drivers on the Server, not the client [21:22] <jester_> Muntrue: sounds like the right move. I just pulled an "apt-get install glade" and it pulled 2 down and it runs like a charm, just did it to verify [21:23] <fen> join #gentoo [21:23] <Muntrue> jester_, I cant enter the python channel lol, thats stupid === cky_ is now known as cky [21:23] <obake-san> hey, i just updated my kernel in hardy, and the grub failed to load so i had to point out where to load ubuntu in the grub editor, and now my graphics card is suddenly not working. nvidia no longer shows up in the hardware drivers, and i have no idea how to set it up. any help would be appreciated [21:23] <TiredWolf> Muntrue: you sure can enter, just register to freenode [21:23] <Flannel> obake-san: Load an old kernel [21:23] <Sydero> obake-san: are you sure you pointed to the correct kernel?

[21:35] <ikonia> SubZeRo666[NL]: so if you set the cdrom to be the default boot device, and attempt to boot from cdrom - what happens ? [21:35] <rohan> is it 8.04 ubuntu? [21:35] <ManualOverDozer8> obakeL ok, then that may be out of my league on assisting you. someone else can help you, i am sure of it [21:35] <SubZeRo666[NL]> same problem [21:35] <ikonia> SubZeRo666[NL]: it would appear to have some sort of hardware issue with your bios then, as ubuntu does not touch the bios [21:35] <rohan> if yes do this uninstall nvidia package from synaptic [21:36] <SubZeRo666[NL]> correct, but bios checks devices to detect which are bootable [21:36] <SubZeRo666[NL]> when it reads hd it crashes [21:36] <arrrghhh> SubZeRo666[NL], have you tried a different hdd? [21:36] <ikonia> SubZeRo666[NL]: but if it can't read them, then the bios is having an issue [21:36] <SubZeRo666[NL]> when i clear harddisk it doesn't crash [21:36] <rohan> and then reboot - install ddriver thru restricted driver [21:36] <ManualOverDozer8> SubZero: set your CMOS to detect the drives auto. if they cant be detected auto, then you may have jumpers set improperly [21:36] <SubZeRo666[NL]> correct, bios does have an issue, but i would like to know a work around for it [21:36] <rohan> if you still don't get the right resolution do this. [21:36] <rohan> gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [21:36] <sCOTTo> :) [21:37] <sCOTTo> 1305 user :) [21:37] <ikonia> SubZeRo666[NL]: well, you've confirmed grub is installed correctly but using it on a USB device - so the problem must be with your bios === DarkAudi1 is now known as DarkAudit [21:37] <jester_> jester [21:37] <obake-san> it wont let me enable the restricted driver [21:37] <arrrghhh> SubZeRo666[NL], there might not be a workaround.... you might need to fix/replace the bios. [21:37] <obake-san> its not listed [21:37] <ikonia> SubZeRo666[NL]: the only think I can think of is that your device.map in /boot/grub is set to point to your cdrom [21:37] <obake-san> no matter what i do, its just not there [21:37] <rohan> search for the section "Screen" [21:37] <SubZeRo666[NL]> correct. bios crashes on hd, so why can't i fix it? if it can boot windows, it should boot linux too right? [21:37] <rohan> Add these line in the end (afer depth) [21:37] <rohan> SubSection "Display" [21:37] <SubZeRo666[NL]> maybe install lilo or other bootmanager on it? [21:38] <ikonia> SubZeRo666[NL]: did you try to boot from the disk when you had it on usb [21:38] <obake-san> hold on a second, im loading up an older kernel to see if its fucked there too [21:38] <ikonia> obake-san: watch your language please. [21:38] <rohan> Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768"(add resolution u want) EndSubSection [21:38] <Guest87410> anyone know how to change the sound out of firefox/flash to go to a different output (usb sound card instead of internal audio), sound sources set in preferences and test ok, just seems to be flash/firefox I cant get through there [21:38] <arrrghhh> SubZeRo666[NL], i thought you said it crashed when it got to the hdd... so you loaded windows on it and windows booted? [21:38] <ManualOverDozer8> obake: rohan on right path, as i do recognize it. on Ubuntu 7.x i had same problem [21:38] <SubZeRo666[NL]> i had windows vista on machine [21:38] <sCOTTo> yuk [21:39] <TiredWolf> is there any ARM disassembler in the repositories? i guess not, but then i might have missed the less-than-obvious [21:39] <rohan> yeah i had this issue -- the steps i tried and suggested fixed the issue -- i hope it helps people here too [21:39] <SubZeRo666[NL]> wanted to install ubuntu, so i said in install "use full disk" after reboot, black screen after post [21:39] * sCOTTo divorced windows vista for Ubuntu Linux... [21:39] <obake-san> yea, when i load .17 it lets me enable the nvidia driver [21:39] <arrrghhh> SubZeRo666[NL], have you always used the same cd? === Thoth is now known as chowder [21:39] <ManualOverDozer8> rohan: well, it worked for me on 7.x, i cant say it will on 8.x now, as i dont even have an issue. finally a flawless install of Ubuntu :) [21:39] <rohan> after logout - dun forget to do this -- at the login screen press - CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE [21:39] <obake-san> lemme try .18 [21:39] <SubZeRo666[NL]> yeah, even verified it, tried 64 bit and 32 bit versions [21:40] <ikonia> SubZeRo666[NL]: your bios does not appear to want to read the grub boot sector === chowder is now known as Guest68591 [21:40] <arrrghhh> SubZeRo666[NL], and the livecd boots alright? [21:40] <SubZeRo666[NL]> correct [21:40] <ikonia> SubZeRo666[NL]: did you boot it from usb when you have it on as an external USB [21:40] <rohan> haha i got the issue with 8.x unlucky but luckily these steps fixed it (not to mention i was using a beta version :)) [21:40] <SubZeRo666[NL]> but windows is able to boot [21:40] <ikonia> SubZeRo666[NL]: did you boot it from usb when you have it on as an external USB [21:40] <arrrghhh> SubZeRo666[NL], you can choose windows from grub and boot it? i thought it froze before you made it anywhere near grub. [21:41] <SubZeRo666[NL]> when windows was installed. so i want to know if i can install grub on /dev/sda1 instead of /dev/sda (install grub in partition instead of MBR?) [21:41] <ikonia> SubZeRo666[NL]: you don't install grub on a partition [21:41] <SubZeRo666[NL]> no, windows is completely from the disk [21:41] <SubZeRo666[NL]> ok === Guest68591 is now known as chowder [21:41] <FAJALOU1> hi my computer just froze up and i had to re boot,,, i am running 2 ndiswrapper drivers, nvidia gpu, and a 1 ghz mobo. At the time i had one IRC open with pidgin, and Firefox with three tabs. My system monitor showed evertything normal... is there any way why i can check it did this? [21:41] <ikonia> SubZeRo666[NL]: when you had it as an external disk on USB - did you attempt to boot on it [21:41] <SubZeRo666[NL]> well, i'm now running live, with the disk mounted [21:42] <ikonia> SubZeRo666[NL]: I really need you to answer my question [21:42] <SubZeRo666[NL]> @ikonia: it doesn't show up in bootable devices === Majost_ is now known as Majost [21:42] <SubZeRo666[NL]> when using F11 [21:42] <ikonia> SubZeRo666[NL]: so how did you "see the grub" menu ? [21:42] <ikonia> SubZeRo666[NL]: you said earlier when you took it out and tried it on another machine you saw the grub menu [21:43] <SubZeRo666[NL]> i never saw grub menu [21:43] <ikonia> SubZeRo666[NL]: then what where you talking about when you said you did [21:43] <ikonia> SubZeRo666[NL]: it sounds to me like your installing grub to the partition instead of the mbr [21:43] <ikonia> SubZeRo666[NL]: have you tried installing grub to the mbr rather than the partition [21:44] <rohan> so nvidia driver friend is the issue fixed or we are still stuck with the same situation? [21:44] <SubZeRo666[NL]> when i installed it, i kept it default, tried (hd0) [21:44] <SubZeRo666[NL]> and /dev/sda [21:44] <SubZeRo666[NL]> both didn't work [21:44] <ikonia> SubZeRo666[NL]: so it looks like your bios has a bug in it then [21:44] <obake-san> .18 i can enable the nvidia driver, but when i load up .19 there is nothing in the hardware drivers section [21:45] <rohan> system - administration - hardware drivers [21:45] <obake-san> theres nothing there [21:45] <rohan> Obake-san -- what comes up whenu navigate like i mentioned above? [21:45] <rohan> oops [21:45] <SubZeRo666[NL]> correct. but when i clear disk, put in windows disk, install it, it works. So bios doesn't have a problem booting windows when i install it. so bios must be very bad, but i would like to know what i can change in the boot sector so it doesn't crash on it. [21:45] <obake-san> all the previous versions of the kernel nvidia is there, just the newest one there is nothing listed in the window === smerx is now known as `brooks [21:46] <ikonia> SubZeRo666[NL]: the bios does have a problem [21:46] <ere4si> arrrghhh: sorry I was afk - I don't use a login manager so I couldn't say - sorry [21:46] <ManualOverDozer8> obake: can you right click on deskspace/Background and choose to enable visual effects ? [21:46] <obake-san> well, i assume .19 is the newest one [21:46] <ikonia> SubZeRo666[NL]: if your bios is unable to read the grub boot sector - or pass beyond it to error to the screen, your bios is having an issue [21:46] <SubZeRo666[NL]> ok, i think a different boot loader could fix it [21:46] <rohan> yeah pls try the above suggestion and see where are we landing [21:46] <ikonia> SubZeRo666[NL]: have you tried leaving it to time out for say 25 minutes [21:47] <SubZeRo666[NL]> no, haven't tried that [21:47] <gfather> hello guys [21:47] <SubZeRo666[NL]> will try that now [21:47] <obake-san> no, it said could not be enabled when i tried selecting normal visual effects [21:47] <SubZeRo666[NL]> @ikonia, thanks for support [21:47] <ikonia> SubZeRo666[NL]: if it times out you may get a more useful error message [21:47] <SubZeRo666[NL]> btw, can i put an other boot loader on it? [21:47] <ikonia> SubZeRo666[NL]: get a time out first [21:47] <gfather> i installed the jdk , but netbeans cannot detect that [21:47] <SubZeRo666[NL]> @ikonia, ok, thanx [21:48] <rohan> by the way -- i guess this should work - for manual stuff --- [21:48] <rohan> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -- anyone here can verify it pls [21:48] <gfather> i tried to remove it and install it again several times , but not working [21:48] <ikonia> rohan: thats now not as verbose in 8.04 [21:48] <ManualOverDozer8> obake: if you cant choose anthing but no effects, then, i would assume you arent running the accelerated driver (resticted), but, if all works fine, then i wouldnt worry. i am currently ready to dump the driver as it bogs down every now and then [21:48] <ikonia> rohan: due to xorg being more dynamic [21:49] <rohan> ok nvidia site also has the drivers latest verison and as i know -- u dun need to install aal available verison of nvidia drivers from synaptic [21:49] <Benitosimies> Is there a way to reset the /etc/network/interfaces file back to how it was when Ubuntu was first installed? I think I was dumb and broke it after the last kernel update. [21:49] <rohan> if its a new card glx-new will work [21:49] <obake-san> nothing works [21:49] <ManualOverDozer8> rohan: this old series 4 chipset lol [21:49] <obake-san> i tried glx, glxlegacy, and glx-new [21:49] <chippy> hello [21:49] <arrrghhh> Benitosimies, if you comment it all out, the network manager takes over [21:49] <obake-san> glx-new works in every previous version of the kernel [21:50] <chippy> on terminal, I'm using gnome-open to open files, but what's another command for me to use ? [21:50] <ManualOverDozer8> rohan: i will check nvidia site now that you say it, eventhough the glx-new works, i dont like the occassional stutter [21:50] <Benitosimies> haha Thanks arrrghhh, I'll try that. [21:50] <tyrone> how can i tell what version of libgpod i have install [21:50] <rohan> i know sorry was not able to get your work done [21:51] <dotumaringka> libgpod --version maybe?

Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [22:50] <HymnToLife> rolle: some tool to install Ubuntu from inside Windows [22:51] <moreau> ok then lets say its a good enough driver to not give me crappy framerates--whatis Mesa3d? I was told to isntall that as well....but it says its for openGL, and xserer-xorg-video-intel already gives openGL support [22:51] <Volkodav> what's the alpha 10.4 channel? [22:51] <HymnToLife> moreau: do glxinfo | grep -i direct [22:51] <tkach> l3x if one computers ip ends in 1.2 and the other in 1.3 would that cause a problem [22:51] <HymnToLife> do you have DR enabled or not ? [22:51] <unop> demian, sudo aptitude install firefox=version_you_want [22:51] <l3x> tkach: i had that problem when my roommate (running windows) rebooted, the switch changed his IP and had the same ip as me on mepis :) [22:52] <moreau> yea it does have direct rendering [22:52] <l3x> tkach: is your ip different that the other ones on that network? [22:52] <eie> guys my pc monitor supports 60Hz and here in ubuntu is set to 50Hz as maximum in System - Screen resolution.. is there a different way to adjust it [22:52] <demian> unop, thnx I'm installing version 2 via synaptic, weird though [22:53] <tkach> l3x, my Ubuntu computers network reads 192.168.1.2 and the computer I'm trying to connect to reads 192.168.1.3 [22:53] <moreau> but are you sure that the xserver video intel driver isnt just some POS that gives minimal support, just enough to get basic graphics working? [22:53] <l3x> tkach: if it is a small network, they should be like 192.168.1.* [22:53] <esac> how can i make the text on the gnome panel white, for example where it has "Applications Places System" [22:54] <l3x> tkach: try the address in file browser smb:/192.168.1.3 [22:55] <l3x> tkach: if that fails, check firewall settings, and check is samba properly installed on you ubuntu [22:57] <tkach> l3x, I'm sorry I'm very new to Ubuntu, I just installed it so I could give new life to a struggling machine. where is the file browser? also my windows firewall is turned off [22:57] <Sylphid> im looking for a replacement mini-pci wireless card can anyone recommend a card that gets good range (as that is the issue with my current card) and preferably works out of the box (intel 2200 is what im currently looking at) === beaver___ is now known as beaver [22:57] <moreau> tkach click 'places' on the top menu bar [22:57] <demian> tkach, the filebrowser is top left, Places. You have some pre-defined maps [22:57] <demian> hehehe [22:58] <moreau> and theres is no windows firewall in ubuntu [22:58] <demian> en there is no windows firewall... cause terhe [22:58] <l3x> hihi [22:58] <demian> never mind [22:58] <demian> :) [22:58] <gordonjcp> Sylphid: I can recommend IPW2200 [22:58] <l3x> demian: there is no windows, right...???

[22:59] <moreau> anyone know how to get a USB floppy drive to show up? [22:59] <Sylphid> gordonjcp, thank you ... out of curiosity what kind of range do you get with it? [22:59] <gordonjcp> robini: no, you add it as a firefox addon [22:59] <gordonjcp> Sylphid: don't know, never tried [22:59] <gordonjcp> Sylphid: "quite a lot" [22:59] <robini> Ok, then what about pidgin? [22:59] <moreau> pidgin already has a very annoying spell checker [22:59] <gordonjcp> Sylphid: far end of a smallish suburban garden, with a crappy router at the wrong side of the house [23:00] <demian> tkach, if you want a firewall you can install one if you want to. Go to aplications -> Add/Remove select all available aplications and search for firewall [23:00] <Sylphid> gordonjcp, fair enough ... i lose mine at ~40ft with my current one [23:00] <Sylphid> gordonjcp, thats exactly what im looking for, thank you much [23:00] <tkach> smb:/192.168.1.3 turned up nothing, l3x [23:00] <robini> Ok, i thought there was some kind of system-wide spell checker [23:00] <demian> robini, you can look it up in synaptic, I think it's myspell [23:00] <koshari> tkach >places, nautilus is the name of the default file browser [23:00] <gordonjcp> Sylphid: even better, it works well with BackTrack [23:00] <remsoft> demian: i want a firewall to [23:01] <l3x> tkach: hmmm... dunno [23:01] <robini> Like if i use x-chat it also uses some kind of spellchecker [23:01] <tkach> demian, oh I'm just trying to connect to a shared folder [23:01] <l3x> tkach: what ubuntu version are you using? [23:01] <gordonjcp> Sylphid: if you find yourself needing to recover lost WEP or WPA-PSK keys, it's the weapon of choice [23:01] <demian> if you want a firewall you can install one if you want to. Go to aplications -> Add/Remove select all available aplications and search for firewall [23:01] <robini> Ok, ill try myspell [23:01] <cypha> can i use the vista driver with ndiswrapper? [23:01] <tkach> l3x hardy [23:01] <zelrikriando> Is there a way to avoid ubuntu messing up with my screen luminosity? [23:01] <koshari> demian linux comes with iptables by DEFAULT [23:02] <l3x> tkach: in places there should be connect to remote server or something like that [23:02] <demian> I know.. it's kind of useless... but if he wants one [23:02] <l3x> tkach: try from there [23:02] <moreau> anyoneknow why my usb flopy drive isnt showing u [23:02] <slacking> dmesg [23:02] <rolle> moreau: is it plugged in? [23:02] <koshari> demian what do you mean its useless? if you want a fancy gui you can use firestarter to administer iptables [23:03] <moreau> wtf man [23:03] <clayg> If I wanted to reinstall ubuntu, would it be fine to just install a new install, then after moving all "my stuff" to the new one, knock out the old partition? [23:03] <moreau> dont ask me that [23:03] <clayg> or should I just copy everything in my home dirfectory to a large usb drive and copy it over after installing? [23:03] <zerogate> how can i move programs from one virtual desktop to another? [23:03] <clayg> i don't want to leave anything behind [23:03] <inspyre> whats the channel for the next release? [23:03] <l3x> mostly, linux users believe that they do not need firewall, because linux is protected as it is... :))) [23:03] <debian_akroyd> hello all [23:03] <glitsj16> inspyre: #ubuntu+1 [23:04] <inspyre> ghostbusters akroyd? [23:04] <Sylphid> gordonjcp, thank you, just the review i needed [23:04] <demian> koshari, you're right. But you can only get it to work if you're sort of familiar with gnu/linux. He just said he was'nt so then it's kind of useless right? [23:04] <koshari> clayg first make a aptondvd or personal repo to back up all your updated debs, then copy your home dir, and after install copy things back as required. [23:04] <inspyre> glitsj16: thanks [23:05] <koshari> demian true sorta, iptables works out of the box and doesnt need any tweaking unless you want ot. [23:05] <clayg> koshari, is that as easy as grabbing aptondvd ? or are there other things involved? [23:05] <zelrikriando> How do I avoid ubuntu to mess around with my screen luminosity? [23:06] <robini> myspell did the trick, thanks! [23:06] <koshari> clayg yes it is, however personally i uses dpkg scanpackages to keep a current repo on my ipod as i maintain about 4 machines that dont have broadband access. [23:06] <linch7> Q: does someone know how search through old shell commands? [23:06] <cypha> Should i use the Vista driver or the XP driver with NDISWRAPPER for my broadcom wireless? [23:06] <ubuntu__> hi === c is now known as Charitwo [23:07] <clayg> koshari, so it will just be references to the programs i have installed not the actual program right [23:07] <remsoft> the XP driver works you can use it [23:07] <debian_akroyd> ubuntu__, hello [23:07] <clayg> koshari, tried "dpkg scanpackage" didn't work , what am i doing wrong? [23:07] <ubuntu__> where i can see what controller sata my computer is usung [23:07] <l3x> is lenny out?? [23:07] <Chainfire> Hi all. I'm running Ubuntu Server 8 (*nix-semi-nub, set it up yesterday). I'm trying to get internet sharing to work. However, I'm having some trouble with dhcp3-server. It insists on giving my Vista (ugh) laptop two gateways, 0.0.0.0 (?) and 192.168.1.1 (correct). If I manually add a route to 192.168.1.1 routing works, it's just that 0.0.0.0 that I can't get rid off and mucks it all up. Found more people on the net with this problem, but no so [23:08] <koshari> clayg your home dir will keep all the user config files (as well as your personal data) for all the installed apps. [23:08] <victor__> Hi, I have a problem with MythTV: I can scan digital channels with my Kworld ATSC 120 TV Tuner, but Myth TV can't play them; there's a black screen when I watch TV [23:08] <ikonia> Chainfire: it doesnt give 0.0.0.0 as a gateway [23:08] <debian_akroyd> l3x, i dont think so. i think there still in beta..check their website to be sure [23:08] <inspyre> ubuntu__: lspci -v? [23:08] <ikonia> Chainfire: thats a destination (default) [23:08] <koshari> clayg there usually hidden directorys ie, .nautilus, .gedit ect [23:08] <l3x> M'kay debian_akroyd, thanks [23:08] <Chainfire> ikonia> it shows up as default gateway under "ipconfig /all" in Vista... [23:09] <l3x> + [23:09] <Chainfire> how do I get rid of it? [23:09] <koshari> victor__ google garry parker mythtv it has a very good guide [23:09] <ikonia> Chainfire: pastebin ipconfig /all in vista into a pastebin please. [23:09] <zerogate> how can i move programs from one virtual desktop to another? [23:09] <clayg> koshari, thanks, last question. Would you insall another install in a new partition, move then delete the old parition? or just copy the home dir then tear the whole thing down and install? [23:09] <l3x> sorry, i kicked my keyboard :) [23:09] <Chainfire> yessir *runs to other computer* [23:09] <Soopa> hi all [23:09] <debian_akroyd> lol l3x [23:10] <Soopa> i'm looking for torrents of gtk and emerald themes [23:10] <l3x> they released 4.0r4 :) [23:10] <Soopa> any idea if there are any? [23:10] <ikonia> Soopa: visit gnome-look.org and download direct, they are not big [23:10] <debian_akroyd> debian_akroyd hasnt used debian in a while..stuck on ubuntu [23:11] <Soopa> ikonia: well, I'd like to download a whole bunch at a time [23:11] <l3x> the future ubuntu will have kde as default??? what about that??? did you read that? [23:11] <l3x> ubuntu is future of linux [23:11] <debian_akroyd> kde?? [23:11] <debian_akroyd> that sucks [23:11] <ikonia> Soopa: they are only a few K - its the same ammount of clicks as clicking "download" [23:11] <koshari> clayg personally i would use a new install as the last resort, what i do is install ubuntu, with a decent sized second parttiion available. i then use partimage to make a snapshot of the system and save it on hte second partition after running update util. that way i have a methood of recovery back to current state which takes about 14 minutes. [23:11] <l3x> if any distro does big bada boom, it would be ubuntu! [23:11] <Soopa> ikonia: I suppose you're right :) I'm just lazy :) [23:11] <debian_akroyd> debian_akroyd hates kde [23:11] <l3x> KDE rules! [23:11] <debian_akroyd> im a gnome fan [23:11] <koshari> clayg whats your actual problem? [23:12] <zelrikriando> How do I 'lock' my screen luminosity on ubuntu? [23:12] <ikonia> Soopa: it's less lazy than downloading and setting up torrents [23:12] <debian_akroyd> << has been using gnome since ubuntu 5.04 [23:12] <l3x> debian_akroyd: why is debian_akroyd talking from third person??? :) that is funny [23:12] <debian_akroyd> ll [23:12] <debian_akroyd> lol** [23:13] <l3x> i read that new versions of ubuntu will have kde as default desktop [23:13] <clayg> koshari, I want to install but still have the old programs , email settings and other things stay the same [23:13] <l3x> which is great! because of better programs for kde:))))) [23:13] <ikonia> l3x: you read wrong, and this is off topic for a support channel, you can join #ubuntu-offtopic for chatter [23:13] <debian_akroyd> l3x, 8.10 will have kde as default? well...ok [23:13] <debian_akroyd> :*( [23:13] <inspyre> they may as well call it gayde [23:13] <elexodus> Anyone know where to get help for proftp on irc? [23:13] <arthur> i have a questin pretaining to operamini and how or if you can get flash to work on a smartphone? [23:13] <l3x> not 8.10, next one i think [23:13] <clayg> koshari, but if all is stored in the home directory then i can just copy that over. The last question was personal preference and from what you saw it makes no difference which order I do them in or in which way [23:13] <ikonia> debian_akroyd: they are 2 different versions, kubuntu has kde as default, ubuntu has gnome [23:14] <debian_akroyd> 8.10 is the next one lex [23:14] <`brooks> poll: best development interface for java, c++ ? [23:14] <l3x> sorry for offtopic... i just wanted to see if that is true or not... [23:14] <ikonia> l3x: please stop talking nonsense, ubuntu and kubuntu are two seperate products [23:14] <debian_akroyd> l3x, they have a version of ubuntu titled kubuntu which has kde installed as default [23:14] <dustrial> `brooks: try netbeans? [23:14] <debian_akroyd> regular ubuntu itself has gnome [23:14] <koshari> clayg you are aware you can roll back things you installed in synaptic my checking the history file, and you can use remove completely and reinstall to replace apps that may be problemsome? [23:14] <`brooks> will do, dustrial. ty. [23:14] <Flapperbol> I tried to install something, and now ubuntu locked a folder of mine. does anyone know how to unlock it? [23:15] <Flapperbol> It just says I don't have permission to open the folder [23:15] <debian_akroyd> debian_akroyd, is afk [23:15] <clayg> koshari, wasn't aware of it but it seems like every 6 months or so , so much crap has been changed that i begin having problems. I have a google earth install that crashes xserver, I don't know how to remove it ,it wasn't installed via synaptic or apt, the computer hangs when starting alot of window-esk problems that I think would be less effort just reinstalling than trying to figure out each and everyone [23:15] <dustrial> what does ls -l say? Flapperbol? [23:16] <koshari> clayg your email settings will be derived fron settings contained in your home /.evolution or whatever email proggie your using [23:16] <clayg> koshari, then there are the many programs i tried but never use and don't know whihc ones they are since i dont' use them [23:16] <clayg> koshari, awesome man, thanks [23:16] <Flapperbol> dustrial: drwxrwx--- 31 root games 4096 2008-07-27 23:56 Downloads [23:16] <clayg> koshari, sounds like the home copy is the best method [23:17] <clayg> koshari, i think i'll install an another parition, then copy over and destroy the old parition then resize the new [23:17] <dustrial> Flapperbol: and root cant use it? [23:17] <debian_akroyd> debian_akroyd, is back [23:18] <koshari> clayg then look into creating a partimage backup when all is well, then you will just need to roll back the old partition, run update with your saved debs and your back in town [23:18] <Chainfire> ikonia> http://pastebin.com/m48f19638 [23:18] <Flapperbol> dustrial: srry, a bit new to ubuntu. how do i login as root? [23:18] <Pici> !root | Flapperbol [23:18] <ubottu> Flapperbol: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:18] <ikonia> Chainfire: I'd say thats a bug with windows to be hones,t you can't have 2 default gateways [23:18] <root_> list [23:19] <Chair> I'm interested in learning ubuntu. I heard I can install it on my computer while I already have windows.. would I have to make a partition for it? I've got two partitions now, one with xp and some free space, and the other with programs and free space. Would I be able to install it on my program filled partition with no problems? [23:19] <jrolson> nickrud you here? [23:19] <dustrial> '$ sudo -s' or '$ sudo su ' that is you type : sudo su --- the $ indecates that you are just a normal user [23:19] <koshari> Chair hoe big is your free space [23:19] <debian_akroyd> Chair, theres a little program on the ubuntu cd which will install ubuntu on your computer w/o repartitioning [23:19] <dustrial> Flapperbol: read man pages to chown to unlock the folder [23:20] <clayg> koshari, you da man now dog! thanks alot man, it'll be nice sliding into a new install. Whenever my bro comesover he updates everyting and I get a crap load of kernels in my grub list, of coarse the newest version also seems to usually suck [23:20] <Chainfire> ikonia> im not the only person having this prob with dhcp3-server ... lemme hook up some other comps... btw it worked fine with our other routers... [23:20] <koshari> debian_akroyd i wouldnt use wubi [23:20] <Chair> 25gb on my windows partition, 125gb on my programs partion [23:20] <xelurg> Chair, if you want even less hassle - use VMWare and install it as a virtual machine. [23:20] <ikonia> Chainfire: routers ? [23:20] <ikonia> Chainfire: why are you using dhcp with routers [23:20] <Flapperbol> dustrial: okay, as root i can enter it [23:20] <Chainfire> uhm... well routers ;) "adsl-routers" and such [23:20] <Flapperbol> i think something went wrong when I was installing [23:20] <Chainfire> i'm replacing one of them with this box [23:21] <debian_akroyd> Chair, well you could just split your programs partition so that ubuntu has 10 to 20 gig of free space [23:21] <dustrial> Flapperbol: yeah you should read about permissions and changing permissions ... otherwise ubuntu is hard to use from console (terminal or commandline ) [23:21] <jrolson> I have 2 questions today. I got an email today that has a link for a video to watch on a website. When I go to the website it says that I need to update my flash player. Are there other flash players available besides adobe? I'm new to ubuntu so bear with me. [23:21] <koshari> clayg you can easily remove the older kernel entries in grub by commenting them out in the menu.1st file [23:21] <debian_akroyd> Chair, that is if you want 20 gig for ubuntu [23:21] <omar> hi, does anyone know if I can shrink an NTFS partition with gparted, and is it safe to do it without loss of data? [23:21] <ikonia> Chainfire: ok - so I don't see how thats relevant, a client should allow 2 default gateways on one card, so no matter if dhcp-server has a problem or not, I suspect there is a bug with the windows dhcp client [23:22] <mad> is there a way to have apt-get check dependinces and remove packages that are no longer needed but got pulled in by another package? ( note if apt-get is debian, sorry and ill hop over there) === gardar is now known as gardar`afk [23:22] <omar> actually, I want to resize my partitions, I want to shrink NTFS, and increase ext3 partition [23:22] <ikonia> mad: autoremove is the option I think [23:22] <debian_akroyd> omar, what ever you do, you still risk loosing data [23:23] <mavsman4457> Hi I just downloaded kvpnc but I don't really know how to use it, are there any public PPTP servers that I can use? [23:23] <mad> ikonia: autoremove is not anoption with apt-get there is autoclean but it just remove distfiles and not the installed packages i believe [23:24] <Chainfire> ikonia ok... ill reset the ip stack on vista and see what happens... *crosses fingers* don't know why i didnt try that before though, hmm [23:24] <dustrial> Flapperbol: http://www.google.de/search?q=linux+permissions&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a some pages to understand the output of $ls -l and how to change it [23:24] <ikonia> mad: autoremove should get rid of obsoulte package [23:24] <dustrial> btw how do i use the bot? [23:24] <omar> debian_akroyd, ok, I just found about ntfsresize to shrink my partition "without data loss", if I shrink it, is gparted suitable to increase my ext3 partition?, or should I use another app? [23:24] <koshari> omar it should work, however ALWAYS backup data before atempting these sort of tasks, actually you should have a backup plan in place already if the drive was to dies immediately [23:25] <debian_akroyd> omar, gparted can shrink partitions as well as expand them [23:25] <TheBlasphemer> How can I set up my MythBuntu box to automatically mount USB external drives once I plug them in ? [23:25] <omar> koshari, I just backed up the important data [23:25] <koshari> omar gparted would call ntfsresize during its routine, gparted is bacsicly a framework which uses all the disk utikls [23:25] <l3x> I'll be back [23:25] <Flapperbol> thanks dustrial [23:25] <zerogate> omar, you just have to make sure you do it from the live cd, you cannot change paritions where your current running os is placed on [23:25] <omar> koshari, thats nice :D, didnt know about that, just installed ntfsprogs [23:26] <omar> zerogate, mmmm, ok, downloading gparted live cd [23:26] <derrich> I need to install ffmpeg with liba52 enabled - how can I do this through aptitude? [23:26] <zerogate> omar, you can use the ubuntu live cd [23:26] <derrich> liba52 support enabled, I mean [23:26] <debian_akroyd> i believe ffmpeg comes installed by default on ubuntu [23:26] <zerogate> how can i move programs from one virtual desktop to another? [23:27] <omar> zerogate, roger, I have to burn it anyways :D, got the alternate CD [23:27] <dustrial> zerogate: you mean virtual machine? [23:27] <rolle> success :) system, preference, sounds, changed from autodetect to another option =) [23:27] <sugi> I just installed Morrowind on p4 1.8 GHz, Gb PC 3200, ATI 9600 SE Directed Rendering Enabled. The game won't start up. The Launcher works but no game. http://pastebin.com/m5fe4156f [23:27] <orbital_fox> there you are [23:27] <derrich> debian_akroyd: ffmpeg wasn't installed by default, so i installed it manually. but to do what i'm trying to do, i need ffmpeg to have liba52 support, which isn't the 'default' option within aptitude [23:27] <zerogate> dustrial, no i mean "workspace". [23:28] <derrich> I'm new to Ubuntu, so I don't know how to specify extra functionality for programs within aptitude [23:28] <Chainfire> ikonia> myeah fixed it with ip/stack reset... @$#@# vista! thx anyways. [23:28] <dustrial> zerogate: from one users desktop to a nother users desktop ? [23:28] <zerogate> dustrial, the things you can switch by pressing ctrl+alt+right [23:28] <debian_akroyd> derrich, i would use synaptic to look for liba52 [23:28] <xiantia_> bye all [23:29] <debian_akroyd> dustrial, that will install it and enable it [23:29] <mavsman4457> What program can I use in ubuntu that is similar to time machine on mac? [23:29] <derrich> debian_akroyd: that package is already installed [23:29] <debian_akroyd> hmm [23:29] <debian_akroyd> ok [23:29] <derrich> liba52 was installed prior to ffmpeg [23:29] <koshari> derrich the standard ffmpg in the repos is hamstrung to comply with some countrys laws. there is a version in medibuntu thats a bit more thourough [23:29] <dustrial> debian_akroyd: ? [23:29] <zerogate> dustrial, don'T know what it'S called in english. there are symbols for them in the lower right corner (at least in gnome) [23:29] <Fiona> anyone know how i get ubuntu? [23:29] <debian_akroyd> dustrial, what is it you are trying to do with ffmpeg? [23:29] <dustrial> zerogate: i guess that is some compiz thing or something, i dont know? [23:29] <derrich> koshari: i'm pretty new to ubuntu - are you saying that i need to enable some other software repository to install a non-crippled version of it? === Mel is now known as Guest78807 [23:30] <cypherdelic> What about adding 16:10 aspect ratio mode to Totem?? [23:30] <johncoltrane> how are you guys doing? Does anyone know what my problem might be if every time I boot into ubuntu it freezes after a few seconds? [23:30] <johncoltrane> no mouse response or anything [23:30] <dustrial> zerogate: ah now i see ... okay .. well they are soupposed to be the same ... file structure ... so just save it in the correct directory [23:30] <mavsman4457> Whats the best backup solution for ubuntu? [23:31] <koshari> derrich yes [23:31] <koshari> !medibuntu [23:31] <dustrial> debian_akroyd: was not me =) [23:31] <ubottu> medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [23:31] <zerogate> dustrial, i mean when i'Ve launched a program while viewing virtual dekstop 1 - and i want to drag this launched program to virtual desktop 2 [23:31] <derrich> ok, thanks - i'll start reading now [23:31] <dustrial> zerogate: gnome or kde? [23:31] <derrich> generally speaking, is it 'safe' to add 3rd-party software repos like that? [23:31] <zerogate> dustrial, gnome [23:32] <mavsman4457> How do I back up my system? [23:32] <Gillpy> ee [23:32] <zerogate> dustrial, just found out that i can rightclick the window decoration and move it - you know of any other way`? [23:32] <dustrial> zerogate: i didn't use gnome for a long periode ... but maybe you can right click the program in the "taskbar" and say move to desktop number 2 .... or you [23:33] <dustrial> zerogate: drag n drop it into the minimap [23:34] <debian_akroyd> mavsman4457, search the repository for backup software [23:34] <debian_akroyd> mavsman4457, they have tons of programs that will do just that [23:34] <Mr_Bad_News> how the f do you install luadoc?

[23:50] <koshari> mlLK no they are needed to use things like dynamic display size and pulse-audio interaction work properly [23:50] <Blaqlight> question : how do I render a space in a filename for a directory containing a space in it. [23:50] <Bert_2> ikonia: when I backup a partition (I copy it to another disc) it keeps the same UUID, so mount is all fucked up and confused afterwards and some guys told me "just change the UUID of the copy), but I can't find how [23:50] <ikonia> Bert_2: that language is uncalled for [23:50] <mlLK> koshari, so the host takes care of everything? [23:51] <mlLK> koshari, as far as hardware [23:51] <Bert_2> ikonia: huh ? [23:51] <ikonia> elexodus_: try commenting out options [23:51] <debian_akroyd> omfg rofl [23:51] <ixj> if i upgrade to 8.04 (lts) will i be able to upgrade to 8.10 later? or will i be stuck in only being able to easily upgrade to a new lts version? [23:51] <koshari> mlLK in most VM software you set up the host, install the guest then in the guest environment setup the drivers [23:51] <Blaqlight> im trying to call a directory that has a space in it, how do I do this without changing the directory name. [23:51] <ikonia> Bert_2: bad language is not welcome in this channel, if you can't explain a problem without using it - don't speak [23:51] <eie> what is the best player to install for firefox in ubuntu Adobe Flash Player, Swfdec player for adobe/macromedia or Gnash SWF PLayer? [23:52] <linch7> Q: does someone know how to change to vi-mode in bash? [23:52] <glitsj16> Blaqlight: quoting the dir name doesn't cut it ? [23:52] <smokewon> Hey there, ive got composite rendering enabled in my xorg.conf, and it works well with compiz fusion, but java applets flicker in firefox when i have the composite option enabled, is there some way to fix this? [23:52] <Scunizi> eie: I use the adobe one and works fine.

[23:52] <koshari> Bert_2 are you copying it back to the exext location? [23:52] <debian_akroyd> eie, definately not swfdec..i would choose gnash [23:53] <Bert_2> ikonia koshari: I use gparted, to just copy the partition from one disc to another === Shubbar___ is now known as Shubbar [23:53] <mlLK> koshari, what about laptops [23:53] <ikonia> Bert_2: how do you copy the partition [23:53] <Blaqlight> this program is looking for a background in a folder named "widescreen pics" it can't find it because of the space. [23:53] <dustrial> mlLK: the guests driver should be compatible with the hardware the virtual machine program " provides" [23:53] <ikonia> Bert_2: if your making a partition with gparted it shouldn't have the same uuid [23:53] <mlLK> koshari, windows is running naked w/o its hp drivers [23:53] <koshari> Bert_2 you will prolly fint the uuid issue has more to do with the grub/fstab entry [23:53] <eie> thanks [23:53] <ugly_one> I have very strange problem: in random period of time (from 5 to 20 seconds) system totally freezes. When I move my mouse or typa something on keyboard everything start to working till the next freez. Any solution? [23:54] <Bert_2> ikonia koshari: if you copy a partition with gparted it leaves the UUID intact for as far as I know [23:54] <Mr_Bad_News> make: *** [.build-boxnet-i486-linux-gnu-4.1.3/CMakeCache.txt] Error 255 [23:54] <Greyscale> !webcams [23:54] <ubottu> Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [23:54] <ikonia> Bert_2: how are you copying a partition with gpared ? [23:54] <ikonia> gparted ? [23:54] <rolle> I have closed my FF3, yet this is still showing up when trying to open FF3 Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system. [23:54] <koshari> mlLK you dont need to worry about the HP drivers, you need to install the host drivers, remeber the guest OS boesnt know what hardware its running in, it only sees the host environment and therefore things the host (or virtual machine) is real hardware and therefore needs the host drivers [23:55] <Bert_2> ikonia: just click on the partition, RM -> copy and then paste onto free space on another disc [23:55] <glitsj16> Blaqlight: tried "\" before the space yet ? [23:55] <elexodus__> ikonia: HEre's the backup of the original proftpd.conf: http://pastebin.ca/1084674 [23:55] <elexodus__> ikonia, sorry, my router just needed to be reset real quick. [23:55] <elexodus__> ikonia, did you get the pastebin? [23:55] <zerogate> i am trying to build something which needs "gio-2.0" - do you know what i have to install to get this pkg? [23:56] <koshari> Bert_2 you should use partimage to copy a partition, [23:56] <ZStar> How do I connect my computer to the wireless router? I just formatted and installed ubuntu [23:56] <ikonia> Bert_2: thats an interesting approach [23:56] <ikonia> elexodus__: I got the paste - I couldn't see anything wrong with it [23:56] <debian_akroyd> well i gtg, cya all later [23:56] <ikonia> elexodus__: try making one change at a time from the default [23:56] <Bert_2> ikonia: it's the easiest approach [23:56] <mlLK> koshari, i see; it's like a bloated app [23:56] <elexodus__> ikonia, did it. also mixed the 2 together. nothing [23:57] <koshari> mlLK more like an application layer [23:57] <ikonia> Bert_2: yes, I can see thats quite straight forward, I don't see how the uuid can be the same though, I'd need to do more research, I've never done that approach [23:57] <Blaqlight> glitsj16: no is that how you call a space in a directory? I mean I can put _ in the directory if I have to but Id rather not. [23:57] <rolle> ZStar: right click on the network connection. Make sure it says connect to wireless. Or you can get wifi-radar--that prog works well for me [23:57] <ikonia> elexodus__: have you started it with the default file ? [23:57] <koshari> mlLK parts of the layer will only be using resources wen called [23:57] <elexodus__> ikonia, I have the port forwarded, the static IP... I just don't know. Let me try that.\ [23:57] <glitsj16> Blaqlight: yes, widescreen\ pics should work [23:57] <mlLK> koshari, what as far as my memory? [23:57] <ikonia> elexodus__: portforwarding and static IP's is nothing to do with a config file not being correct, they are all done outside of proftpd [23:57] <Mr_Bad_News> what do i do if i upgrade linux generic 2.14.2 whatever to 15 and it doesnt boot? [23:57] <Bert_2> ikonia: well, it has been some time since I experienced it, so I'm going to check it myself too, I hope it has been fixed, but it was a real issue in the dapper times and some guy claimed it was still an issue [23:57] <Mr_Bad_News> that happend to me twice now [23:58] <koshari> mlLK the VM will reserve a portion of memory determined by you for the VM client to use [23:58] <Bert_2> ikonia: I'm now copying a FAT32 filesystem and it keeps the UUID in place [23:58] <ikonia> Bert_2: I find that most odd [23:59] <ZStar> it would be a hassle to connect the computer to the router through a cable [23:59] <koshari> Bert_2 the uuid is a virtual disc serial number nothing more [23:59] <Blaqlight> glitsj16: yeah that worked thanks. Ive never had to do that before.. strange eh? [23:59] <clayg> if i want to copy my home directory to my ipod, can i just drag the folder over to it or do i need to issue some special command to make sure no hiddens are left behind?
