[00:02] asoundconf set-pulseaudio , what is this magic command ? [00:02] or install it from Adobe, yeah, it's generaly less troublesome [00:02] I just setup fuppes, a media streamer, on my server that I've ssh'd into. The problem: To configure I'm supposed to go to:http://127.0.1.1:52163. But of course, the server doesn't have a head, so I've tried to put in the IP address of the server with the correct port, and it doesn't work...(on my client, I mean) [00:02] guys, help... I have one extended partition on /dev/sda3 [00:02] i had kubuntu 7.10 installed on /dev/sda5 on that partition [00:02] err....how can I access the config page on my server from my client? [00:02] and ubuntu 8.04 on /dev/sda7 [00:02] i wanted to delete the 7.10 [00:02] so i went into recovery command line mode [00:03] and deleted the /dev/sda5 partition from parted [00:03] when I rebooted [00:03] i get GRUB error 17 [00:03] !enter | ubuntu [00:03] ubuntu: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[00:04] ubuntu : delete partition with http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ [00:04] ok [00:04] anyone have a good training video on how to setup a ubuntu server box to act as a "microsoft server" replacement? [00:04] how do you create sub domains in the server of ubuntu [00:04] zvacet: I want to get my system working first [00:04] TechPepsi: ?? [00:05] yell0w: ok, i think i got that...after I do that command, do I just type in 127.0.0.1:52163 into my client's firefox? [00:05] what do you want to do, exactly ? [00:05] matt__: yes [00:05] I want to know how to make sub domains in ubuntu [00:05] So anyone know why my update to 8.04 stops here? terminal: Generating locales... [00:05] en_AU.UTF-8... [00:05] I installed NDIS Wrapper and got my wireless cards ID number, where do I find the proper Windows driver for it? [00:05] HymnToLife: yell0w well...when I do so...it is a completely black page. Not sure why..but I'll see [00:05] HymnToLife: the file has been created what do i do now, what parts do i change? [00:05] TechPepsi: do you have a domain to begin with ? [00:06] yeah [00:06] adilson: pastebin it plese [00:06] ok, let me ask something basic: where does grub get loaded from? [00:06] ubuntu : did I understand correctly that you remove it from grub [00:06] matt__: that forward the port 52... to your localmachine [00:06] then you can do whatever [00:06] iwtk: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/langpack-locales/+bug/249340 [00:06] zvacet: I deleted a partition /dev/sda5 [00:06] Launchpad bug 249340 in langpack-locales "Gutsy->Hardy upgrade hangs in localedef" [High,Triaged] [00:06] TechPepsi: and you're using your own dnS server to manage it? [00:06] yell0w: hmm...I don't think I did something right...lettme investigate [00:06] Thank you Legend, i will read that :) [00:07] hey, I think it renamed my old partition to /dev/sda5 [00:07] yeah [00:07] i think it renamed my /dev/sdaX into /dev/sda5 [00:07] in fact, I am sure [00:07] TechPepsi: okay hod on, I'll make you a quick example [00:07] yell0w: ok...so whatever the port number on that line is the one it forwards, correct? [00:08] user=matt, and host = internal ip address of the server, correct? [00:08] ok [00:08] ubuntu : if you rename it that can be why you can not boot [00:08] how would you setup a dns server for internal network use [00:08] firefox 3 now cover all my desktop. why ? [00:09] zvacet: how do I rename it? [00:09] HymnToLife, a link? [00:09] sethalton: probably dnsmasq is a straight shot. [00:09] yell0w: HymnToLife This is the error I get in the terminal when I try the address on my local machine [00:09] matt@Server:~$ channel 3: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused [00:09] channel 3: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused [00:10] ubuntu . cat /boot/grub/menu.list and paste it here [00:10] HymnToLife: http://pastebin.ca/1091307 [00:10] So, can anyone help me? I think my problem is pretty simple to solve.. [00:10] Anyone know how I can use Totem in Firefox instead of VLC? [00:10] Wrycu, dont ask to ask, ask [00:10] zvacet: i am on a liveCD [00:10] i think I have to reinstall [00:10] HymnToLife, we might want to host an irc server too and all of that including the sub-domains [00:10] Wrycu: If it is simple to solve, go for it ;) [00:11] I installed NDIS wrapper and used lsusb to get my wireless cards ID. Where can I find the link to the proper driver? === Chriz is now known as Chriz21 [00:11] ubuntu : you should be able to see menu list so cat /boot/grub/menu.lst [00:12] Wrycu, maybe do a search in the synaptic package manager?

[00:17] TechPepsi: hmm, basically, you just need to add $ORIGIN lines to your zone file [00:18] TechPepsi: like $ORIGIN sub.domain.org. [00:18] ah ok [00:18] Divo : what seems to be the issue ? [00:18] soul-dier [00:18] and any A record you put beow it ill be treatet as relative to this domain [00:18] ?¿ [00:18] xD [00:18] soulja in iraq bitches!!!!

[00:20] Manual: after tinkering with my resolution in nvidia-xconfig, I rebooted the xserver and desktop effects were disabled, now trying to re-enable them I get "The Composite extension is not available" [00:20] my resolution is fine now [00:20] Maeva: yes you can [00:20] adilson: which resoution do you want, again? [00:20] !compiz > Divo [00:20] Maeva: Ubuntu uses compiz by default [00:20] HymnToLife: 1280*900/1000 [00:21] so... yeah [00:21] :P [00:21] ivo : are you using the restricted nVidia drivers or Envy ? [00:21] Divo, please see my private message [00:21] adilson: ? [00:21] adilson: I find it on xwinman.org is it hard to install ? it changes all the visual window colours, better than compiz [00:21] hi,,,, [00:21] Maeva: X is a Window System, compiz is ubuntu's default window manager [00:21] 900 or 1000?

[00:23] Maeva: depends on how good you are at following instructions [00:23] Maeva, what are you refering to ? enlightenment /KDE ? [00:23] Maeva: Not really, but why would you want to?

[00:36] package libflashsupport is not available, but is referred to by another package.

[00:37] i know [00:38] is system time kernel mode? [00:38] ian_: had the same problem with HDA nvidia, I had to modify x.org manually, had to tweak for webcam and 5.1 support. You find many answers to your questions true google [00:38] champion, you can add a desklet to panel force kill or if the whole system freezes can try ctrl+alt+backspace which will restart x but thats usually not recommended [00:38] Mr_Bad_News, no need, the cd's are online as well [00:38] Divo, how are you doing? [00:38] i know TechPepsi [00:38] they never work for me [00:38] Maeva: yep currently working on that thanks!

[00:39] how can I display files in a list like "ls -l" but withouth the extra information like rights group etc [00:39] This is 64bits? [00:39] Mr_Bad_News, it's not the recommended way but that works [00:39] ian_: many answers are found on the big ubuntu forums also. by adding simple commands line your x.org will recognise your video card type the name of your video card in synaptic for drivers [00:39] champion, a desk applet, right click panel and select add to panel [00:39] champion: Yep, and you can get the pid by doing ps aux | grep -i "programname" as normal or root user [00:39] HymnToLife: anything? === saiki is now known as Kousotu [00:40] How to discover if my ubuntu is 64bits??????? [00:40] been using Linux Ubuntu for about 6 months a friend turned me onto it and i love it anyone know where i can get step by step info on installing games like quake 3 and 4 [00:40] HymnToLife: its hard to believe that everything went well except for the epiphany querk and this would be the hardest thing [00:40] S4nD3r: uname -a in a terminal [00:40] how to get help on this channel????

[00:41] S4nD3r: 64bit is a pain the rear, i'd stick w/ 32bit.. but no.. you have to clean install 64bit [00:41] champion, you can also try system monitor specifically if you are familiar with windows, just like task manager you can kill programs from there too [00:42] Maeva, ian_ : bring this to !offtoic, please [00:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about fretsonfire [00:42] !offtopic [00:42] S4nD3r: why do you feel it necessary to use 64bit? [00:42] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [00:42] Do you recommend keep 32bits? [00:42] S4nD3r: definitely.. less problems. [00:42] IndyGunFreak: not had any issues with 64bit yet. 32 only reads 2gb of tram, I have 4 [00:42] is this the right channel to ask questions about netbook remix [00:42] lol [00:42] which owuld be the smallest ubuntu to install? xubuntu ya think? [00:42] Id like to use all of my processor [00:42] Kousotu: are you sure on that?.. i'm almost sure 32bit reads 4 [00:42] robf_: mini.iso [00:42] IndyGunFreak: why would I lie about that?

[00:43] then it won't be the smallest [00:43] HymnToLife: ???? [00:43] make up your mind ;) [00:43] everything i've read says 32bit supports 4gigs [00:43] or like 3.8 i think [00:43] HymnToLife: ok smallest of the DE ubuntus [00:43] ;p [00:43] adilson: sorry, no more ideas here [00:43] IndyGunFreak: not at all, but well, that's the way I interpreted it, soyea...

[00:45] X+something [00:45] S4nD3r: its all opinion of course, but i've messed w/ 64bit, and the problems you run into, do not outweigh the benefits, so for the time being i'll stick w/ 32bit [00:45] TechPepsi, what troubles you, be specific [00:45] !br | Truks [00:45] Truks: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt por ajuda em português.

[00:54] IndyGunFreak: sorry if i made you pull out the sarcasm i would appreciate all the help you can give [00:55] adilson: and you've received it.. if reconfiguring X, isn't giving you a workable desktop, then i don't know what else to tell you [00:55] bye [00:55] bastid_raZor: and dide it just work after that..or did you have to...do something else special..to actually activate it?

Welcome to #ubuntu! [01:31] yes [01:31] is it smart to have 2kde version installed like kde 3.5 and kde4.0 ? [01:31] When I plug my iPod into my computer the computer does not detect it. This is a first time problem - it has always detected the iPod before. My iPod is detecting that it is plugged in. [01:31] but there i can only choose between 16:9 (too width) and 4:3 (too high) [01:31] yes [01:31] mo0n_sniper, hey as in hi [01:32] oh hello [01:32] how are you? [01:32] mo0n_sniper: but doesn't it show the kde3 icons and programs also in kde4 ? [01:32] can anyone help me with ipod support on ubuntu [01:32] TechPepsi: Hay as in dry grass. :) [01:32] so, i have twin view enabled, but whenever i maximze the window, it spans across BOTH my screens... how do i set it so that a maximized window only occupies one screen [01:32] aadasas: What's up? [01:32] !ipod > aadasas [01:32] aadasas, please see my private message [01:32] !question | aadasas [01:32] aadasas: 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. :-) [01:32] so my problem is this: ubuntu works fine except for the themes. i cant install any new themes and old ones dont look like they should. when i tried the netbookremix i had to edit a gnome panel config file to get the task bar to black ever since my themes have not worked. now i cant find the config file anywhere [01:32] don't hawe anything to do... [01:32] JingleHops, no [01:32] you? [01:33] TechPepsi: It was a joke. :> [01:33] haha [01:33] i think the theme engine is messed up or something, gtk [01:33] I know it was [01:33] Oh. o.O [01:33] Hi all. [01:33] Hi matholio.

[01:34] Shancial did you edit ~/.gtkrc or some such [01:34] aadasas: I am having a similar problem now. My computer, for the first time ever, is not detecting my iPod. [01:34] Maeva, yeah that I do [01:34] Hey does anyone know a way to make Xchat lunch when I click on an IRC channel link when surfing with my firefox web browser ? [01:34] aadasas, can you mount it using nautilus? [01:34] nickrud: yeah, i think so but i dont have my backups anymore :( i am a little desperate ATM [01:34] yesterday I was able to use usb0 as a network, but today (after updates) I get 'no such device'. I'm not sure how to diagnose this further. any ideas ? [01:34] well i read that... the new ipods arnt mounting on linux for some reason... [01:34] Shancial if you did, try removing it and restarting the desktop. [01:35] aadasas, can you mount it using nautilus? [01:35] Shancial ~/.gtkrc-2.0 [01:35] nickrud: it isn't that one i am afraid [01:35] ok ill try -< [01:35] no [01:35] unop: nope.. [01:35] no luck [01:35] Shancial did you edit something in /usr/share? [01:35] aadasas: This shouldn't be a problem. My computer has always detected my iPod before. [01:36] aadasas, does sudo fdisk -l list the ipod device? [01:36] sudo someone make me a sandwich [01:36] nickrud, that is the problem [01:36] mo0n_sniper: Take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [01:36] i dont know [01:36] so, i have twin view enabled, but whenever i maximze the window, it spans across BOTH my screens... how do i set it so that a maximized window only occupies one screen [01:36] *makes mo0_sniper a sandwich* [01:36] !sandwich [01:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about sandwich [01:36] :)) [01:36] thanks [01:36] Shancial ok, create a new user and log in there.

[01:39] aadasas, unplug the ipod, in your terminal type this out. sudo tail -f /var/log/dmesg # plug your ipod back in and have a look at what happens in the terminal. [01:39] Vezir: deselect the "capture" toggle in your mixer [01:39] debCarlos you need a better liquid lib [01:39] TiredWolf, which wiki? [01:39] Vezir: probably a red button or something [01:39] !ipod | unop [01:39] unop: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [01:40] nickrud: It was an example :D [01:40] * nickrud googles at unop being ubottu'd [01:40] TiredWolf, how? [01:40] Any idea how to make the nv driver to support RandR "inverted"? [01:40] * debCarlos @ [01:40] i see nothing [01:40] nickrud: merely a more expedient way to give him the link [01:40] Vezir: i can't say for sure, because i am on KDE, which has its own different mixer [01:40] oh [01:40] unop: nothing changed [01:41] TiredWolf unop probably knows more factoids by heart than I've used ;) [01:41] nickrud: we could have a contest [01:42] nickrud: also, i doubt it [01:42] aadasas, hmm, does the regular dmesg command give you anything? [01:42] * debCarlos @test:~/food/$: ./configure && make --FOOD=sandwich --DRINK=something_good --when=NOW && mv to_my_hand [01:43] xDD [01:43] is there a way to repartition a drive that has no unpartitioned space? i have two drives, on is for ubuntu and the other is for /home.. i want to reduce the size of the second drive to make room for winXP.. possible? [01:43] debCarlos, stop tainting the room :) [01:43] unop: lol [01:43] nope nothing... [01:43] damn i'm hungry now [01:43] hyprv: possible with gparted - and potentially dangerous [01:43] Nickrud: i tried, it gave me an error about gnome config daemon or something. then it booted and theme didn't work [01:43] !gparted > hyprv [01:43] hyprv, please see my private message [01:43] hyprv gparted [01:43] mo0n_sniper: lol [01:43] just a list of a bunch of [69943.505881] Please file bug report to http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com.

[01:43] aadasas, is your ipod actually functioning? :) coz this is not normal [01:43] gnome-settings-daemon couldn' start, most likely [01:44] yes its brand new [01:44] yeah, i have gparted byut it won't let me re-divide the partition [01:44] aadasas, do you know how to reboot your ipod? [01:44] yeh, that one [01:44] hyprv: it won't if it's mounted [01:44] i don't care so much about losing data since this is an experimental machine [01:44] Aynone using a laptop here? [01:44] ive read on several forums of people having new nano 8gb and they wont work with linux [01:44] dont mount [01:44] unop aadasas I've seen usb system suddenly stop working, does aadasas have another usb device to test? Or try another usb port? [01:44] it won't let me unmount it either since it is for /home [01:44] yeah i alread reset it twice [01:44] no luck [01:44] unless i can do like a force unmount [01:44] aadasas, not reset, just reboot [01:45] hyprv, you certainly can't do it from your running system - you need a live CD [01:45] hyprv: boot from a live CD to modify your partitioning [01:45] nickrud: yes i have two usb hdd that work [01:45] got it [01:45] aadasas : link for Ralink Chipsets , if applies > http://web.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html [01:45] live CD [01:45] duh [01:45] hold play and menu right [01:45] aadasas I have the 8gb nano, works here. Had to set up the db though. [01:45] the elusive obvious [01:45] nickrud: what doy ou mean db [01:45] gonna give this a try, thanks again guys [01:45] do you [01:45] aadasas, yea .. does that have any effect while it is plugged in? [01:45] Where does transmission save created torrents? [01:45] aadasas: database ? [01:45] db [01:45] !db [01:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about db [01:45] what do you mean set up the database? [01:45] aadasas there's a line to add to a file in the ipod, the page TiredWolf linked to has instructions [01:45] !ipod | aadasas [01:45] aadasas: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [01:46] oh oh [01:46] whats the link to do that [01:46] aadasas: the one above [01:46] Nickrud, is there a command to reset the gnome/gtk/anything Settings to default, so it would download them from server [01:46] aadasas, this might help -- if you manage to get the ipod recognized. http://lilserenity.wordpress.com/2007/12/22/virgin-mobile-praise-ubuntu-and-ipod-nano-3g/ [01:47] Shancial just too many things that it could be. Especially if you don't know where/what you edited [01:47] * unop goes back to coding [01:47] aadasas yeah, the page unop gave you has the instructions I used [01:47] hmm.. i think i should reinstall, but then again, i have spend so much time to get this one to work [01:47] i have aspire one, there is no easy installs for this one [01:48] yeah ive tried that but... [01:48] df still doent list my ipod [01:48] unop: you're a coder> [01:48] ? [01:49] debCarlos, yes [01:49] aadasas, do you use a usb hub? [01:49] unop: no i do not [01:49] unop: cool :D, what's your favorite programming languaje? [01:49] aadasas, have you tried plugging the ipod into a different port? === freaky[t] is now known as c1|freaky [01:50] usb port i mean [01:50] yeah the two in back and two in front [01:50] debCarlos, perl [01:50] tried uplugging all but ipod too.. no luck.. [01:50] in gnome how do i turn capture off on my mixer [01:50] tried.. hipo.. ipodslave .. no luck [01:50] what is a good alternative to itunes for linux? [01:51] aadasas, hmm, does the ipod work and is mountable on another machine? windows perhaps? [01:51] no other machine but.. like i said its brand new out the box [01:51] nothign is on it [01:51] unop: Wow, i'm just learning to program, and started with C/C++..... and perl seems hard and kind of confusing to me :S [01:51] aadasas, well, that doesn't mean it's workable -- it could be brand new and faulty too out of the box. [01:51] true [01:52] when i plug it in to usb it charges [01:52] it knows its been pluged in [01:52] just ubuntu doesnt reconize it [01:52] I have a toshiba network printer and it uses department codes. Is there a way to have it prompt the user for a department code each time they print instead of storing it in the printing prefs? [01:52] aadasas: can you run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' and see if any events are reported as you plug the ipod in [01:52] aadasas, do you have a windows machine/install to try this out on? [01:52] no windows here sorry [01:53] aadasas not something to apologize for :) [01:53] aadasas, you might have to set the ipod in "disk use" mode .. [01:53] so do you have that usb wlan thing? [01:53] aadasas: try um... vmware? [01:53] did you pull it out before? [01:53] mgolisch: yes.. wifi usb device [01:53] unplug and plug in vlog no messages [01:53] tail -f /var/log/syslog [01:53] if there are thos errors from that usb wlan usb drive maybe it killed the usb controler [01:53] allready [01:53] try booting without the wlan thing in [01:54] mgolisch: not sure if it matters but when i plug in my other external hdd they work [01:54] if there is nothing if you plug in the ipod the usb controler driver mostlikely gone foobar allready or for some reason disabled the usb controler or so [01:54] aadasas: if there are no messages, I bet it isn't listed in lsusb output either... [01:54] as well as my cameras [01:54] whats the command for lsusb [01:55] ok then thats not the problem [01:55] i can check it [01:55] aadasas: lsusb [01:55] lsusb?

[02:35] cdj26: try "sudo adduser username disk" [02:36] so, sudo adduser cdj26 /dev/sda1 for example? [02:36] tv_: write a script, put the "sleep" in there, and then start the *script* using GNOME's startup facility. still, why's that delay needed? sounds awkward [02:36] cdj26: no [02:36] cdj26: just sudo adduser cdj26 disk [02:37] cdj26: then before deciding it doesn't work, restart your X session [02:37] TiredWolf: see here - http://awn.planetblur.org/index.php?shard=forum&action=g_reply&ID=1805&page=1&isLive=true [02:37] hey all, um, i have a wacom intuose tablet, but in ubuntu i have to drag with the stylus to move the pointer [02:37] second and third posts [02:37] ctrl+alt+backspace right?

[02:41] tv_: update-rc.d scriptname remove, and then remove the actual file from /etc/init.d [02:41] that worked thanks [02:41] Tiredwolf: thank you :) [02:42] cdj26: yes, i'd say so [02:42] cdj26: well, there is "user" twice [02:42] cdj26: hmm [02:42] i'm in gnome and I see 2 dolphin icon's i think one is kde 3.5 and the other one is 4.0 ---> isn't it stupid that he shows 2 different versions ?

[02:48] mgolisch: no they are different [02:49] ok when i go to boot up the live cd of 8.04 when the desktop should appear its just a black screen how can i fix that? [02:49] no idea [02:49] i allways use the alternate cd [02:50] mgolisch: even i use alternate cd . [02:50] murlidhar: thats why, when installing kernel packages the postinstall script of the kernelpackage runs update-grub which creates an entry in the menu.lst for each kernel it finds in /boot [02:50] would fedora 9 be just as good as ubuntu to learn on? it installed fine [02:50] as both have a different /boot you cant see the other installations entries in the others grub [02:51] http://cashcrate.com/709094 <--- GREAT SITE TO RECIEVE FREE MONEY.

Thanks. [03:00] StrangePuppy: i did that about a week ago [03:00] añguien sabe como montar las particiones de windows [03:00] ecyrb: and he deleted the 3.5 one few [03:00] Maeva: Good stuff. Just do that for the others I guess and you're set. [03:00] KenBW2: was everything ok? [03:00] What's all this about python? [03:00] StrangePuppy: the install lasts about an hour before the USB dies, since flash only has limited read/write capacity [03:01] StrangePuppy: my problem was at login - the file it needs had become corrupted. Thats probably whats happened with your grub [03:01] i was following on same USB stick another tutorial to make actual installation of working ubuntu on USB, and it was working, but too slow, so i've decided to change it just to live usb [03:02] StrangePuppy: oh you don't want it to be persistent>? [03:02] Hey all - How can I get CLI-based games such as greed to operate in the same shell as the terminal session? [03:03] KenBW2: ok, here's what i know about it - could be: 1. not persistent (like CD, no writes), 2. persistent (copy from live CD, with storing configuration on USB), 3. normal installation like on HD but to USB [03:03] right? [03:03] ecyrb: it works fine but not for Konsole [03:04] StrangePuppy: (2) and (3) i wouldn't recommend [03:04] RequinB4: try ctrl+alt+f1 f7 is gui [03:04] i've tried #3, but it was too slow, no corruptions, but just too slow [03:04] stylzP - not what i'm looking for, thanks. [03:04] StrangePuppy: so whats your issue? [03:05] i boot from a usb hdd [03:05] i'm trying to use the same USB stick (8G) to have main partition for data (FAT32) and small partition - copy from Live CD [03:05] it takes quite long to boot [03:05] but its ok after that [03:05] mgolisch: do u know how to manually edit a grub? [03:05] anyone else low pulseaudio sound? [03:06] murlidhar: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [03:06] StrangePuppy: why do you want that [03:06] murlidhar: but the changes will be overwritten the next time you install a kernel package [03:06] mgolisch: after that :p [03:06] hello [03:06] KenBW2: for maintenance on another computers, and whenever i don't have my laptop around, but there's a computer nearby :) [03:07] murlidhar: you dont need to do anything after adding the entry to menu.lst [03:07] mgolisch: so what's the fix? [03:07] KenBW2: and to change partition table on my laptop [03:07] StrangePuppy: it'll have to be a Live, er USB - normal installation wouldnt be portable [03:07] how can i get terminal games such as green to run in the same shell as the terminal session? [03:07] murlidhar: there is none i guess, as both systems need different root partitions and stuff [03:07] mgolisch: what to type :/ [03:08] so I have this problem...ubuntu was working fine for about a week. Then yesterday I logged in just as I had been doing for a week, and suddenly my 2 interface bars ( the ones at the top and bottom) are gone. So I cant do anything. If I log in to a different session with a different environment the bars come back. So it only seems to happen in GNOME. [03:08] i used k3b to burn a disc and it says that the writing completed succesfully but the verifying didnt, so is my disc good or bad? (would checking m5d sum answer that question? if so then how do I check?) [03:08] KenBW2: yep, that's what i'm trying to do, just a copy of LiveCD, so i won't have to carry CD with me all the time [03:08] I am running heron server and I am trying to install ndiswrapper and it is telling me that kernel version could not be found in /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/build [03:08] StrangePuppy: you want to know how? [03:08] KenBW2: besides, my laptop doesn't have CD built-in [03:08] I have installed build-essential and kernel headers [03:08] StrangePuppy: EeePC? [03:08] mgolisch: u mean grub is an excellent tool for dual bootin with windows but not linux [03:08] what gives? [03:08] murlidhar: just copy one of the existing entries and change it apropriately [03:08] X40 [03:08] yippity_skippity: alt+f2 = gnome-panel [03:09] hola [03:09] KenBW2: thinkpad x40 [03:09] hay hispanos por aqui?

[03:24] yes, and I didn't realize they had adapters (are there multiple size headphone jacks?) [03:24] doesn't sound like an adapter will help [03:24] RequinB4, superglue [03:24] RequinB4: sorry pressed alt+ctrl+f1= not a good idea for me [03:24] i have my router and modem set up and the other comps have wireless [03:25] sapper: have you run an upgrade on the system recently?

[03:39] thanks [03:39] woo, less than 300 packages to go [03:39] Joeseph: mostlikely the problem is that pulseaudio blocks your soundcard and firefox/flash try to access the soundcard using alsa directly [03:39] wicd needs to be updated last I checked to work with hardy...since it relied on ipw which the kernel no longer supports if I remember correctly [03:39] raden : Network Tools in System/ Administration/Network Tools [03:40] mgolisch: What does that mean and how do I fix it?

Welcome to #ubuntu! [03:42] raden: the '24' is the netmask. In your example it means 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.254 [03:42] raden its the subnet for the network [03:42] thnks ubottu [03:42] eTiger13 the man synaptics has all the gory details; googling for xserver-xorg-input-synaptics [03:42] eniacpx: negative, the '24' is the CIDR address. netmask is 255.255.255.0. [03:43] eTiger13 well, in all that garbled syntax there is a little bit of information ;) [03:43] how does the 24 tell it that ? im googling it cause something i see 16 etc... [03:43] raden: again, you need to ask in #networking. [03:43] Gnea: The two are unrelated? [03:43] iam out [03:43] night ppl. [03:43] so does anyone know how i can add the trashbin to the desktop?

I thought biff would do it, but no such luck :( [03:44] mgolisch: I just installed it I'll see how that works. [03:44] Gnea: I'm about to try yours too. [03:45] LanUser: by console do you mean panel? [03:45] how can I restart the PAM system? [03:45] as opposed to haveing the trash icon on the menu bar? [03:45] [ nurmalsozumguggn ] :P [03:45] (command line) [03:45] eTiger13: yes [03:45] lol wtf "by console you mean panel" [03:45] amirman: no, like as in gnome-terminal or via ssh shell, or on a VT [03:46] whats the dd command to dump a CD into an ISO? [03:46] amirman: why would you want that? [03:46] Cpudan80: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/myiso.iso [03:46] If you want you can specify a blocksize to speed it up [03:46] bs=1024 or something [03:46] awflame: ty [03:46] LanUser: i have a fetchmail and procmail setup. and it prints when i get new mail. and just use mutt to read [03:47] Cpudan80: I'd use remastersys [03:47] micky: you need to run SNAT, not static routes. [03:47] !iptables | micky [03:47] micky: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in.

[03:48] jws: I don't need fetchmail though I think, I'm sitting on the console of the email server itself [03:48] amirman: coming from windows?

[03:48] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=195358 [03:48] I completely deleted my /etc/apache2 directory and now apache wont start, tried purging, reinstalling.. wont install new directory. can anyone help? [03:49] micky: oh okay, i see the 'actual' bit now [03:49] eTiger13: gracias [03:49] Hello I just used Wubi to install Kubuntu with KDE4 and it fails at grub saying filename must be either an absolute pathname or blocklist [03:50] micky: check out iproute2 (using the ip command) to set static routes - ubuntu advanced networking howto via google should point you in the right direction [03:50] AndyB: apt-get install --reinstall somepackage [03:50] micky: it uses something called rt_tables which really rocks [03:50] AndyB purge & reinstall apache2.2-common [03:51] 30 packages to go [03:51] I'm really confused [03:51] evilGUI: is the error during the installation or when the system boots up? === energY_ is now known as energY [03:52] the reset taskbars thing didn't work... i managed to find out that there was some kind of invisible app and just deleting the panel and adding fixed the problem. But now, i have to find a way to re-add the trash bin because adding it to the panel with the add to panel thinger doesn't work with it for some reason. [03:52] Im a long time suse user and thinking of switching to ubuntu at new office for our servers and my desktop is there a huge performance and ease of use diffrence between the 2 ? [03:52] and the upgrade is commencing. [03:52] install I guess first time tring to install [03:52] okay, now not only do I not have sound, but any flash video only plays for a second, then stops. I don't see any errors in my terminal this time though. [03:52] i have tried everything and nothing work on dvd ripping or playback [03:52] evilGUI: heh, well what i meant by 'booting up' was when it first boots the system up *after* installation. [03:53] !dvd [03:53] 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 [03:53] l3d, have fun with that......... The newer dvds are unplayable in linux as far as i know [03:53] nah it hasn't ran the install scripts I guess [03:53] evilGUI: did you tell it to install to the superblock of the same HD that you installed on to the MBR? [03:53] Kohlrak: just needs some hacking in Linux is all [03:53] Kohlrak: I haven't found a DVD my PC wouldn't play yet [03:54] thoug.. I DO need to fix up my other pc lol [03:54] I have another 40GB partition that I installed it to [03:54] what is the code 4 switch btw compiz and Kwin [03:54] [Q] When i boot into kernels -19 or -20 I login but it only goes to a lighter brown background and doesn't load any further, how come? [03:54] Kousotu: odd, i've never managed to get a dvd to play even with those dvd codec installer things. [03:54] evilGUI: is that on the same physical drive? [03:54] Yeah [03:54] me either [03:55] evilGUI: and on what step, exactly, is the error occuring? [03:55] Ok I ran Wubi it downloaded everything and then I restarted [03:55] anyone know how to get that trashbin thinger back? Or how to access it in nautilus or something? [03:55] when I select Kubuntu KDE4 from the boot menu it just says that [03:55] hello, all! i just installed ubuntu on a dell latitude d630 laptop. the installation went beautifully. i want to set up wireless networking. the wireless driver, iwl4965, loads on boot, but now what should i do? running ifconfig eth1 says "no such device" (wired ethernet connection eth0 is working fine). [03:56] nevermind: trash:/// [03:56] Could someone help me repair apache2 please? [03:56] Gnea: firefox does not play sound, and your suggestion didn't help (thanks though) any other ideas"? [03:56] Kohlrak: right click on the bottom or top bar, right click, add-to-panel, scroll down and locate trash [03:57] Joeseph: try restarting X (ctrl-alt-backspace) [03:57] is there irc server software that we can edit? [03:57] So I guess it can't find the installer right? [03:58] TechPepsi: all irc server software is open source, so yes. === roe_ is now known as roe- [03:58] Gnea: Believe it or not, that's not working for some reason. Well, it did (after closing the add to panel thinger), but the icon doesn't even show up. Oh well, at least i know it's there, even if i can't see it. [03:58] hi, i using ubuntu hardy. my gnome-terminal look for monaco font is bad. horizontal space between letters is large. i google it but not resolved. [03:58] what do you recommend, that we can wget? [03:58] Kohlrak: weird [03:58] jeffcovey: install wlassistant and run it, does it show and wireless access points? [03:59] VipOrX: will check, thanks. [03:59] TechPepsi: the only recommendation would be via apt, not wget. apt-cache search irc server [03:59] Really this is confusing me so much could someone help with completely removing apache? [03:59] Gnea: yea, i don't know where it went. Maybe purging gdm broke it XD [03:59] thanks for reminding me [03:59] evilGUI: not sure :/ [04:00] anytime [04:00] hello, I had this other prob a few min ago and I was told to install gnome-desktop-environment (among other things but when I try to install it I get this message: "gnome-desktop-environment: [04:00] Depends: gnome-keyring-manager (>=2.20.0) but it is not installable" [04:00] VipOrX: er, it wants to install 98mb to install that. is there a similar non-kde-dependent package? [04:00] yippity_skippity: how did you even get ubuntu without the keyring manager? XD [04:00] how do you scroll up to see the top of the list? [04:01] Techpepsi, where? [04:01] yippity_skippity: did you install it in synaptic? [04:01] Kohlrak: I uninstalled the evolution email client [04:01] the apt cache menu [04:01] TechPepsi, pipe it to less [04:01] then use iwlist [04:01] Gnea: My startup sound didn't play this time. Just a little background on my system, I've got the gstreamer media backend relying on jack so I can stream my rhythbox music easily. I've got Ubuntu studio. [04:01] Could anyone please tell me how to completely remove apache and delete all of its files? So i can do a complete reinstall? [04:02] pipe it to less? [04:02] i have a sitution involving a macbook cd drive [04:02] Kohlrak: Ubuntu likes me? [04:02] is there a wubi irc channel? [04:02] Kohlrak: yeah synaptic is what gives me that message, terminal just refuses [04:02] ssorrell, what? [04:02] !ask | ssorrell [04:02] ssorrell: 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. :-) [04:02] TechPepsi, at the end of the command, add | less [04:02] evilGUI: maybe #wubi ? [04:03] it doesn't exsist =( [04:03] THANKS [04:03] whoop[s [04:03] i'm attempting to re-install ubuntu on a macbook, and i was using the minimal cd image to do so [04:03] Gnea: I don't know if you're still willing to help, but the videos are playing now, but still no sound. [04:03] evilGUI: well, idk.. thought I'd throw out a suggestion lol [04:03] i'm attempting to re-install ubuntu on a macbook, and i was using the minimal cd image to do so. however, i cannot eject the cd drive after installation. thoughts? [04:03] Kousotu: yeah synaptic is what gives me that message, terminal just refuses [04:03] "iwlist eth1 scanning" gives "interface doesn't support scanning". [04:03] yippity_skippity: ah... [04:03] hi what is the supper button [04:03] do you have to sudo apt get install to what I am looking for? [04:04] tsuna27: the "windows" button [04:04] ssorrell, just hold c down [04:04] AndyB: type sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2 [04:04] ssorrell, to boot to cdd [04:04] cd* [04:04] TechPepsi, You can use synaptic, or sudo apt-get install package [04:04] I am on mac, so it works just the same [04:05] no no, i don't want to boot from cd, i'm trying to eject the cd to boot from hard drive [04:05] Blaqlight: I have, But the files still exist. And when i reinstall i continue to get my error [04:05] AndyB: type sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2 [04:05] jeffcovey, does iwconfig say that eth1 is a wireless interface? [04:05] hi [04:05] Joeseph: willing isn't the issue - i'm in the middle of a distro upgrade so things could get hairy soon. is jack running? [04:05] Blaqlight: I have, But the files still exist. And when i reinstall i continue to get my error [04:05] did you press the eject? [04:05] Ahadiel: no, it says "eth1: no such device". [04:05] Gnea: jack is running. [04:05] hi, i have xp installed multiboot with ubuntu but i cant view the other OS(ubuntu) in my XP [04:05] where does it download to? [04:06] Joeseph: what happens if you stop jack? [04:06] i have tried holding eject on bootup, and while in the installation interface [04:06] abchirk, [04:06] Ahadiel, [04:06] jeffcovey, pastebin the output of iwconfig [04:06] I need a video converter from mpeg to mpeg4 [04:06] where can I edit the preferences [04:06] is there a way to boot into a real live image on the minimal cd? or just the ash prompt [04:06] ? [04:06] garymox: ffmpeg [04:06] hi, good night. i'm try using monaco font in gnome-terminal but space between letters is large. i need help. i google it but not resoveld. i change /etc/fonts/conf.d and ~/.fonts.conf and nothing. [04:06] TechPepsi, Where does what download to? [04:06] can anybody helpme [04:06] the package [04:06] Gnea: wow. that does it. [04:07] Joeseph: sweet [04:07] I guess it doesn't work with jack... odd.... [04:07] I have tried using apt-get remove --purge apache2 but the files still exist and it still accepts the apache2ctl command [04:07] what happens, is that jack takes over control of the sound device [04:07] hi, i hope i dont offend anyone here, but i was just wondering is it possible to write a program that opens up firefox and connects to a certain webpage? [04:07] how can I configure it? [04:07] if so what language [04:08] Joeseph: so the device is, literally, jacked from other programs wanting to push audio through [04:08] AndyB dpkg -l '*apache*' | grep ^ii , purge all those [04:08] teas81 a shell script should do it [04:08] TechPepsi, I suggest reading up on the irc server before installing it. [04:08] Ahadiel: pasted. [04:08] ssorrell, there is no live cd for mac, / ubuntu [04:08] jeffcovey, now give me the url -_- [04:08] AndyB apache2 is a metapackage, a package that depends upon and installs the real apache stuff. apt-cache depends apache2 shows you the top level dependencies [04:08] Gnea: I find jack good but too controlling. [04:08] there is only a bootable cd for ubuntu [04:09] any help [04:09] hello! [04:09] Joeseph: it depends on the soundcard you have - it's usually not so bad on a full duplex or a hammerfall [04:09] Ahadiel: oh, never used this before. http://paste.ubuntu.com/33521/ i thought it went into a publically viewable space somewhere. [04:09] hi, does anyone in here program? [04:09] mi1, You need to install the ext2 driver for Windows.

You need to add the driver for it to XP [04:11] yippity_skippity: (gnome-desktop-environment does have that dependency issue, its known and normal) [04:11] oh for heavens sake, I can't seem to stay in the channel [04:11] Ahadiel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/33523/ [04:11] where does ubuntu keep desktop wallpapers?

[04:12] taes81: please go to #ubuntu-offtopic [04:12] I was just wondering what it's gonna be called [04:12] I need a video converter from mpeg to mpeg4 [04:12] jeffcovey, Are there drivers for it in System => Admin => Hardware Drivers? [04:12] Kousotu: yes, you can even download a development version but it's not stable [04:12] mi1 yes, it does matter. Windows simply can't read the linux filesystem without an extra driver [04:12] garymox: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg [04:12] amirman: I never dl till rc3 or more [04:12] maybe perl [04:12] was wondering what it's gonna be called, that's all [04:12] taes81, then try #perl [04:12] Kousotu: i download the first rc that comes out usually [04:12] !intrepid | Kousotu [04:12] Kousotu: Alpha Software: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 2008 - #ubuntu+1 for discussion | Warning lots of breaking software between now and October! [04:12] k ty for your help [04:13] garymox: you will, of course, need to consult with google as to specific parameters required for the mp4 conversion. [04:13] Flannel ok I'll try to install ubuntu-desktop then [04:13] Ahadiel: that's empty, just says "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system." [04:13] jeffcovey, hrm, I'll go look up what drivers are needed. [04:13] October, already? [04:13] that is *fast* [04:13] well, I'm out guys [04:13] time flies faster the older you get Gnea [04:14] Ahadiel: oh, i thought the boot messages meant the appropriate driver had already been loaded. [04:14] hm..i have a better question, how can i install network-manager from a cd. i accidentally uninstalled it [04:14] jeffcovey, Nope. [04:14] nickrud: i still remember when it took 2-4 years for debian to make a full release [04:14] does anyone know where ubuntu stores wallpapers? [04:14] Gnea I don't think they ever released the whole time I used unstable [04:15] "it's gonna be out in december.... no wait, january... no wait, april..... no wait, another christmas..." [04:15] * nickrud is exaggerating [04:15] so am i lol [04:15] but that sort of thing really did happen [04:15] yep [04:15] nickrud:so ill just download them and run them? [04:16] I just installed a new sound card, and now Flash Player is significantly quiet than the all of my other audio applications, why is this? [04:16] jeffcovey, Still looking, going to boot up my Ubuntu VM and see if I can find the driver. [04:16] mi1 yes. You should read that page completely, so you know it's limitations. Me, I generally only read from ntfs in linux, and from ext in windows. Try never to write to either from either [04:17] mi1 its much safer now than it used to be, I'm just very conservative [04:17] Devourer: youtube? [04:17] Gnea, haha, actually I haven't tested it on any other site with flash... maybe I should do that. [04:17] Ahadiel: thank you! [04:18] Devourer: :) [04:18] Devourer: also check your mixer settings, make sure Master and PCM are at desirable levels. Youtube will also have its own volume level. [04:19] Hey everyone [04:19] jeffcovey, does "modprobe -l | grep iwl" show iwl4965? [04:20] Gnea, I think it's with all flash programs. [04:20] I am getting a http died unexpectdly error when I try and do a apt-get update [04:21] I have internet connectivity and my route looks good [04:21] Devourer: have you tried restarting the browser? [04:21] couldnt find anything in the forums to help me out [04:21] Hi everyone I chose to run a MIDI with timidity by double clicking on it. How do i kill it? [04:21] mlester: perhaps you have bad mirrors listed [04:21] Gnea, perhaps not. [04:21] Josdell: in a terminal, killall -9 timidity [04:22] how can I alter kubuntu to become ubuntu with gnome, firefox etc? [04:22] Gnea: thanks [04:22] well I have 2 machines running hardy and they both have the same sources.list [04:22] but one works and one doesnt [04:22] Ahadiel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/33524/ === patrick is now known as Guest23523 [04:22] is there a way to convert Kubuntu to Ubuntu? [04:22] seekingtruth: backup important data on system, download ubuntu iso, burn to cd, boot cd, install regular ubuntu, restore important data [04:22] there not the same though one is a machine I got from the net [04:22] Gnea: dont troll pls [04:23] jeffcovey, try "sudo modprobe iwl4965 && ifconfig -a" [04:23] seekingtruth: pardon? [04:23] Gnea: I asked... is there a way to convert Kubuntu to Ubuntu? ytes or no? [04:23] without installing a totally new ubuntu [04:23] Gnea, restarting didn't change anything. [04:23] what? [04:23] seekingtruth, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [04:23] Gnea: are you trolling? doesnt seem anything you say works for anyone [04:23] What about apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? [04:24] Ahadiel: ok great thanks :) [04:24] seekingtruth: you didn't say 'without installing a totally new ubuntu' from the get-go. [04:24] !offtopic | seekingtruth [04:24] seekingtruth: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [04:24] Gnea: did you see that troll? there is a way.!!!! sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [04:24] !pureubuntu | seekingtruth [04:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about pureubuntu [04:24] Gnea: if you dont know, then dont give bad advice [04:24] Ahadiel: just shows eth0 and lo up. iwl4965 was already loaded. [04:25] .... [04:25] yeah that guy was wierd [04:25] * Gnea proceeds to place that... thing, on /ignore [04:25] * Blaqlight completely gives up. [04:25] p [04:25] hooray for ubuntu! [04:25] um so any idea why I am getting the error with apt-get update [04:27] Gnea, I still can't believe that Flash Player would suddenly be a different volume level. [04:27] I have removed all apache packages, and reinstalled apache2, added ServerName localhost, but yet still, i get a timeout on http://localhost. Anyone any suggestions? [04:27] Devourer: what is it lower than, exactly? [04:27] is there a portable .ogg player? I have a sansa m240 and would love to use it for my .ogg files [04:28] AndyB: checked the logfiles? [04:28] salty: LG makes them [04:28] !rockbox | salty [04:28] salty: rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for audio players from Archos, iRiver, Apple (iPod), and iAudio. See http://www.rockbox.org/ to get started! [04:28] Gnea, well, amarok and VLC are playing at normal levels I guess. [04:28] what the hell now it works it just says I have an error with signature verification [04:28] Ahadiel: any idea what's going wrong? [04:28] Gnea: Nothing in it, Just says resumed operations successfully [04:28] !language | mlester [04:28] mlester: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:28] ok thnx [04:28] Gnea, before this sound card upgrade I was using an integrated sound card. [04:28] oh sorry [04:29] jeffcovey, hrm, maybe try: sudo modprobe -r iwl4965 && modprobe iwl4965 && ifconfig -a [04:29] Devourer: well you need to remember that most videos on youtube and whatnot are recorded at various levels, and will playback at those respected levels [04:29] how stable is rockbox? [04:29] hi [04:29] !hi | PulsarFl [04:29] PulsarFl: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

[04:30] Anyone help with a sound problem? [04:30] Gnea, well, I tested videos that I've heard before , and when I turn my volume up to hear them I'll hear them fine, but when I start playing something on Amarok it'll be too loud.

[04:31] mlester: np [04:31] Ahadiel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/33526/ [04:31] !firestarter | TechPepsi [04:31] TechPepsi: 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). [04:31] TechPepsi: Do that via your router/modem/gateway? not in ubuntu [04:31] CHR15, as in pidgin isn't installed? [04:31] Anyone have good suggestion for IDE for c++ ?

[04:34] Kohlrak: I switched it all to say "USB Audio" [04:34] Is G++ the best option? [04:35] CHR15, that might be why you don't hear anything. XD Try one of the ALSA things for all your sound output, leave the USB for the input only.

[05:04] i just noticed my ubuntu server rebooted two days ago .. for no apparent reason.. any way I can figure out if it was tripped forcefully (power outage, power button) or if it was a remote/shutdown -r command? all i see in syslog is that the server saw a "syslogd 1.5.0#ubuntu1: restart." [05:04] lunch ahh ok [05:04] manual: if it makes any difference i just enabled my nividia graphics card [05:05] yanger: had that problem with a box that had a CPU with an overheating issue [05:05] NewbieKH - um, linux distros use MIME types and not file extensions... If you want to fool a person you can just rename it to name.jpg [05:05] inflex hmm.. ok.. will look into that.. [05:05] i need help if anyone can help me. im a new user [05:05] hey guys [05:06] NewbieKH - but anyone on ubuntu will get a warning message telling people what is wrong [05:06] Does anyone here play diplomacy? [05:06] well on the guide it shows, the image appears to be a normal .jpg aside from a larger file size, it has a thumbnail image and everything [05:06] can anyone help me? im having problems installing [05:06] but you can open the jpg with an archive extractor and it works like the .rar too [05:06] tympaniplayer: you may be able to do this (still looking) > sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [05:07] tympaniplayer: oh i have it [05:07] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [05:08] manual: where will i get a terminal to type this in?

[05:08] ok so I get it to install kubuntu and it fails brings me to a black screen then it restarts [05:08] im on windows right now [05:08] Ok, there is a very small chance that either of those commands would work. For one, the first is basically useless in hardy, for another, he wasn't dropped to a shell, he has a balck screen [05:08] now my mouse is all laggy in windows [05:08] hey, is there any packager around? [05:09] and firefox seems to reinstalled it self [05:09] manual: im using windows [05:09] tympaniplayer: i see, well you can do a few things, but try that at console. or maybe you can get lucky and just type startx [05:09] ok [05:10] dpkg -l xserver-xorg | grep ^ii [05:10] manual: thanks ill see what i can do:-) [05:10] that will tell you which X you are trying to load [05:10] ok come back whether it works or not, let us know [05:10] wonder why kubuntu would just stop during the install... [05:10] ok [05:10] is there a MOTU channel? [05:10] I'm installing it through wubi [05:11] also is it even possible that it messed with windows [05:11] VladimirMelo #ubuntu-motu [05:11] thanks [05:11] is what i want to happen in 1 file [05:11] Any one have experience running x11vnc via SSL? Similar to the following: x11vnc -forever -usepw -ssl SAVE -httpdir /usr/share/vnc-java/ -noxdamage [05:13] mabye linux doesn't work on my system? [05:13] I can conne3ct with a vnc viewer directly, over ssh,, and via normal non secure http java applet.. With https, it asks for the cert, sends/accepts it etc, and the password dialog pops up, but when I enter it, I get a connection refused erroe. [05:13] evilGUI: maybe you should ditch wubi and try installing the normal way? [05:14] evilGUI: mind you AFTER A FULL SCANDISK AND DEFRAG of windows [05:14] this computer doesn't have a burner [05:14] evilGUI: order a free cd then [05:14] USB it? [05:14] hey all [05:14] !hi | rong [05:14] rong: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [05:15] hello, ive got a hp dv 2000 notebook, and t is not detecting any flash memories... [05:15] evilGUI: it takes about 2 weeks and comes with stickers [05:15] evilGUI: make a bootable USB stick for the installer [05:15] Yeah I wanted to install Kubuntu with KDE4 is it unstable? [05:15] evilGUI: or you could go that route, and if you dont have a usb stick, heh, use a camera [05:15] Anyone know how to fix the sound after I install my ati driver opensource way with kernel 2.6.25. [05:16] I only have a 512MB stick lol [05:16] I have no sound during login and logout [05:16] evilGUI: you have a digicam or ipod or psp? [05:16] I have ati hd 2400 pro [05:16] a iPod though it's just a 1GB [05:17] evilGUI: that'll do [05:17] evilGUI: 1 gb is > 700 megs [05:17] hello, i go a hp pavilion dv2000 and it is not detecting my memory stick.... what do i need to install?? [05:17] i need help. im really having a hard time trying to install guess additions. i go through all the commands to run it and as soon as it asks for my password..the terminal wont let me type anything [05:17] it seem that ati 8.7 drive maybe cause the sound to stop in pulseaudio or something [05:17] also should I just give up on kubuntu? [05:18] so any idea here? [05:18] and my video card is a unichrome is it even worth installing someone told me that card doesn't work well with ubuntu [05:18] midus: just type your password and press enter [05:18] it won't show what you're typing for security reasons [05:18] inflex hmm.. so i decided to review my temps via lm-sensors.. and i got this: http://pastebin.ca/1091463 [05:18] iris, was it previously running windows and the memory stick was working there? [05:18] manualoverdozer8: i dont get a consol prompt anywhere [05:18] inflex it looks, ok, right? [05:18] hi everyone. i need to install the latest version of Vim in Hardy heron (beyond what is available in the default repositories). I need to apply all patches. I've tried prevu but it doesn't seem to work. What should I do? [05:18] bunz it wont let me type the password [05:19] tympaniplayer ok let me understand this, all you see is console prompt ? no gui? [05:19] hmm guess not [05:19] no consol prompt [05:19] evilGUI: its worth a try, if you can get your ipod bootable with the iso contents (not the iso itself, but you probably know that) on it you can run livecd from there [05:19] tympaniplayer lol nice one [05:19] tympaniplayer then what do you see ? [05:19] i've tried downloading the source then compiling it myself but then synaptic tells me i have broken packages. [05:20] manualoverdozer: the ubuntu logo and the loading screen....then it becomes a blank screen.....if i hit a key it beeps [05:20] i mean, it worked, but the broken packages were removed automatically when i updated again [05:20] I've been trying to get ati restricted drivers on 8.04 to work, but i've had a lot of problems. So just now i installed 7.10 and it looks like restricted drivers are working just fine. what gives? why does this work in one version of ubuntu, but not the other? [05:20] tympaniplayer oh that makes a difference [05:20] ok, questions about folder permissions.. i've never quite gotten the hang of this. my user: "server" my group: added myself to "wwwstuffs" folder perms drw-rwSr-x server wwwstuffs (date) www... when i try to cd into the folder, i get permission denied. i don't know why [05:21] but i'm looking to set that folder so that everyone in the group wwwstuffs has full read/write permissions, even if one user makes a new file, the other should be able to edit.. [05:21] manualoverdozer8: i just activated my graphics card...if that has anything to do with it [05:21] RequinB4 : blank screen after GRUB ? [05:21] anyone in here associated with the elbuntu proj? [05:21] (afaik chown g+s folder or something of the sort (i forget exactly) makes it so that it keeps the permissions even on new files.. [05:21] lol [05:22] win 23 [05:22] * unavailable is smoking [05:22] tympaniplayer: you can try and start from Recovery-Mode and then maybe you can do the fix [05:22] anyone able to help me sort this out? [05:22] tympaniplayer: if its blank after GRUB not much you can do from there [05:22] manualoverdozer8: when i start from recovery mode...what should i expect..because i tried doing that and it got hungup at one point [05:22] well I'm going to do some search later all [05:22] when i boot up, it hands at runit 2, any sugestions? [05:22] tympaniplayer: try recovery-mode then do the needed repairs. [05:23] *hangs [05:23] I installed Firefox 3.0 in Gutsy now I can't see flash content online. What do I need to do to get flash to work? [05:23] manualoverdozer8: i also have the livecd if that would help [05:23] tympaniplayer: if it gets hung up, try pressing control+d [05:23] tympaniplayer: recovery-mode is comparable to safe-mode in windows [05:23] hello, my hp laptop s not detcting my memory stick [05:23] ok [05:23] ill try that [05:23] mordof, have you tried chmod and do you know how the #s work, ? [05:23] tympaniplayer: try recovery-mode first, and then if you cant get into the system, then maybe LiveCD [05:23] ok [05:24] !filelist [05:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about filelist [05:24] also I have 2 partitions on this drive one for backup if I install ubuntu to the 9GB one will the 42 be left alone? [05:25] when i boot up, it hangs at runit 2, any sugestions to allow my to boot ubuntu? [05:25] SeaPhor: i've played with chmod, the only one that allows me to have access is 775, but that seems like a large amount of permissions for just read and write. i'm only somewhat familiar with the system for the #s and what they do.. 4 r, 2 w, 1 x? i think, user.. group.. others. [05:25] thanks all [05:25] evilGUI as long as you manually do the partition editing you *should* not run into problems (provided you know what youre doing) [05:25] !gparted [05:25] gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [05:26] mordof, close,, Owner, Owner's group, and all others [05:26] SeaPhor: if the folder is owned by my user, and the group that my user is in.. has read write for both user and groups.. i don't see why my user wouldn't have permission to view the folder.. that's what is confusing me - there's still some stuff i don't understand about all the user permissions on linux [05:26] evilGUI: again before you do anything... SCANDISK DEFRAG SCANDISK [05:26] I tried a defrag it says it doesn't need to be done [05:27] mordof, is this a shared directory, or a ftp dir? [05:27] SeaPhor: ftp for web server (so viewed by apache as well) [05:27] retlaw: hi [05:27] evilGUI: during the install process (unless you have a partition ready for ubuntu) you are going to be asked to make one [05:27] I am trying to follow the instructions to upgrade to kde 4.1, but I get errors when using apt, see here http://www.pastebin.ca/1091464 [05:27] I installed Firefox 3.0 in Gutsy now I can't see flash content online. What do I need to do to get flash to work? [05:28] I feel sorry for anyone who has to drive in this sort of weather. [05:28] So can I just format this windows 9GB and use it? [05:28] i'm not getting any sound in zsnes, so i tried loading alsamixer and it just says "No mixer elems found". what does this mean? [05:28] retlaw: I feel sorry for anyone who has to drive in this sort of weather. [05:28] Hey guys, do you know any tricks that may bring a running app back to the foreground. A program I'm running, say "xchat"'s tab on gnome-toolbar disappeared, and now I am unable to recover it although it is still running correctly in the background, killall gnome-panel/metacity --replace/ tab + alt do not work. [05:28] Any ideas. [05:28] manualoverdozer8:recoverymode doesnt work [05:28] retlaw: I have nothing on(for) this evening. [05:28] mordof, ok,,, so another app "owns" that dir or at least controls through a ~.conf file,,, in that file you need to set the UMASK [05:28] i can no longer use the alt+f2 shortcut [05:28] i have had the weirdest problems [05:28] Tell360: You confusing me someone else? [05:29] how can i get it bak [05:29] tympaniplayer: not good. are you dual-booting linux with windows on the side ? [05:29] anyway it's time to try and install this [05:29] manualoverdozer8: no [05:29] SeaPhor: i just made the directory with my user account using sudo (/www) [05:29] Ubuntong: you need the flashplugin-nonfree to install [05:30] mordof, in what parrent dir? [05:30] manualoverdozer8:it was working fine..then i installed the drivers for my graphics, then restarted [05:30] an0n1m8t3r: it looks like you are trying to install packages that are conflicting with eachother [05:30] SeaPhor: /www [05:30] tympaniplayer: i dotn know i can help you with that problem, but, i can suggest some webpages to look at concerning it. i dont like messing with peoples GRUB, i leave it to tthem [05:30] ok apparently zsnes can't load alsa at all, and alsamixer just doesn't work. what can cause this? [05:30] Maeva: I have that installed. I tried reinstalling it also. [05:30] mordof, so you made the www in the root dir? [05:30] tympaniplayer: let me toss you the links, read them carefully, otherwize it can make the whole OS unbootable [05:31] manualoverdozer8:ok :-( im fairly new at this [05:31] SeaPhor: yeah. if there's a better place (outside my home directory, since multiple users need to have rw access) i'll be happy to move it [05:31] Ubuntong: in firefox there is an add-on called NoScript who can disable it [05:31] i tried mount: mount to NFS server '192.168.40.1' failed: System Error: Connection refused [05:31] tympaniplayer: reinstall GRUB > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto forum post on this >http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=790886 [05:32] anyone could tell me what would be the solution [05:32] i tried mount -t nfs 192.168.40.1:/myfile ./myfile/ [05:32] tympaniplayer: i cant help you much with the rest. i am not qualified to do so. i can suggest, but that is all [05:32] any takers? [05:32] mordof, let me understand,, other users access this thru ftp? only or are other protocols involved? and what ftp server app do you use? [05:32] manualoverdozer8:ok thank you for your help and time [05:32] evilGUI: yes, but again you must choose wisely at the right screen >> see the manual partitoning https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/module-details.html#di-partition [05:33] I just bought the new IPOD Nano, anyone know how to add photos and a videos? [05:33] tympaniplayer: maybe someone later on will have a fix for you, if you cant make anythign of it, so dont be afraid to ask [05:33] SeaPhor: proftpd. uses users in the system. also, users may ssh into the box from time to time. both my user and the other user are under the group wwwstuffs atm [05:34] !ipod | ParkerW [05:34] ParkerW: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [05:34] SeaPhor: sorry for the lack of info being given, i'm not sure what all plays a part in the solution to this. I greatly appreciate the help though :) [05:36] i just mounted an *.iso file, but i umounted it but now my Cd Drive won't open. any ideas ? [05:36] Stargazer: try "eject" in terminal [05:37] eject button on the CD player [05:37] what is dual booting?

[06:05] Gnea i also tried to see if there was another tty i could login with and they were also dead [06:05] not that doesnt sound so nice [06:05] ah [06:05] shane_: horrible [06:06] Feldegast: is this a new installation or upgrade or just after you installed the tools to build a new kernel which you haven't built yet? [06:06] <[z]ne1> amirman: have you tested that player? is it ok or you have any suggestion player that can do all [06:06] Feldegast: reboot.....when Grub loads hit esc....then you con chose a kernel to load [06:06] <[z]ne1> from video and audio playing [06:06] Tell360: you seem to have a problem staying connected to irc. [06:06] just after i installed the tools to build a new kernel which i haven't built yet [06:06] Gnea: apparently the problem fixed itself, i love it when that happens [06:07] ssorrell: lol [06:07] before that it was a fully working fully updated kubuntu 8.04 install [06:07] Feldegast: hrm. have you tried recovery mode? [06:07] is that on the cd? or from the grub menu? [06:08] Feldegast: reboot.....when Grub loads hit esc....then you con chose a kernel to load [06:08] grub menu. when you start it up and it does the little countdown thing, press ESCape before it boots [06:09] oh yes, i tried that, same effect [06:09] hey all, so once i have gone through the setup for the new tablet, do i need to reboot, or restart x? [06:09] im guessing so [06:09] i'm sorry the question allways sometimes disturbing you whith newbie questions :x ... but i'm here try to hide the user home directory to theother but when i do it ... [06:10] the applications dont work [06:10] someone knows how can i resolve this?! [06:10] Hello I have a Problem with Display [06:10] dolphin_noel: and you used what command?

[06:11] The strange thing, when i start the installation from the USB-Drive the screen doesn't come up. I copied Xorg.config, X11, [06:11] pogay: is the resolution wrong ? [06:12] Gnea chown username1:username directory1 [06:12] RequinB4: don't run as many programs. [06:12] the strange thing. all instgallations work also the 7.10 [06:12] I have tried what this post says http://ph.ubuntuforums.com/showpost.php?s=bb931c9b673e76fc787fda1776e94284&p=4952791&postcount=10 but no luck [06:12] cd directory2 chown username2:username2 directory1 [06:12] Gnea: ok, do you mean threads or windows?

If I'm on the commandline, and gdm doesn't start up. I tryed also dpkg-reconfigure, with no effect [06:13] has anybody used pintos ? How can I get it installed in ubuntu? [06:13] Gnea yes groupname ... the groupname is the username to ... that default dont?! [06:13] <[z]ne1> can i use programs with KDE? like kmplayer instead of gnome-player? [06:13] the Installation of my UBS are totally correct, i start them with grub, from the usb-devices [06:13] [z]ne1: yes [06:14] dolphin_noel: this is *nix, commands are very specific, there is no margin for error. [06:14] anyone know of a download accelerator? [06:14] Any ideas why the recording volume of my microphone is really low, even though I have the settings turned up high? [06:14] aria2 [06:14] Ashex: call your ISP and tell them to give you more bandwidth. [06:14] [z]ne1: you can use any player you want.....however adding KDE apps does drag in alot of dependencies [06:14] how can I add additional desktop screens besides the two the come with ubuntu? [06:15] Gnea, funny [06:15] how do i see if my firewall is on? [06:15] question.. i've got an ssh server set up with private/public key.. i did it on my normal user (named server for lack of a better name). i went to add a new user account, now when i try hers, it gives me: Permission denied (publickey). not sure how to fix that. when i enable password auth - it acts funny.. [06:15] Ashex: most accelerator applications are fakes, very few actually do what they say [06:15] one diffence might be, that I installed the latest Installation (on the usb-Drive) with apt-get istall ubuntu-desktop (for the minimal CD) [06:15] Gnea it works ... im doing the command fine trust me the only problem is the permitions ... acesss the list files only looks itis not good only to can have acess to the subdirdir ... and the software work because if i give acess only ... in the directory ... they can see from who is the username [06:15] Ashex: a program can NOT increase your download speed...... [06:15] Ashex: d4x,multiget,aria2 for starters [06:15] * Ashex sighs [06:15] thanks [06:15] <[z]ne1> is kmplayer and gnomemplayer same gui? [06:15] I have down loaded an installed buntu XFCE For the PS3 and then had to wipe the drive ans I coul not get my magnavox to stavlise, I was wondr is there a PS3 specic channel? [06:15] in how do i see if my firewall is on [06:15] acts funny as in, with her user account, the user@server doesn't get displayed at the beginning in the terminal, and 'logout' doesn't work like it normally does with my account [06:15] Download accelerators just open multiple streams to a server and download it in sections [06:15] On windows I use reget [06:15] [z]ne1: no [06:16] Ashex: we know. that is bad for the network so linux doesn't do it [06:16] <[z]ne1> which is better then? [06:16] Actually Maconga: If you download something in pieces simultaniously it can sometimes be faster. [06:16] !better | [z]ne1 [06:16] [z]ne1: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [06:16] wols, I generally don't use them [06:16] o.k. let's look ath the installation, where X can't start, how can i check, the resolution parms? [06:16] only when I need to grab something off one of my servers [06:16] Alright after installing the os I get brought to a black screen asking me to login [06:16] [z]ne1: they all have their own merits.......personally I prfer VLC [06:16] Ashex: I call BS and still don't care [06:16] * Gnea has a certain opinion on download accelerators that, due to channel policy, i will not be reiterating. [06:16] wols, good to know [06:16] <[z]ne1> thanx [06:16] VLC is discusting [06:17] Ashex: with the badwidth available today, its hardly a need to cache pages, in an attempt to say it is making your connection faster, in which it is not [06:17] in windows it has a memory leak and uses all your resources [06:17] when I type startx it says fatal server error: no screens found [06:17] it's not making the connection faster, just the download [06:17] !offtopic | shane_ [06:17] shane_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [06:17] one thing, which could be different in all installation the modules loaded... [06:17] shane: this is not a Windows IRC [06:17] anyways, I'm not here to discuss the functions and theory of download accelerators [06:17] Gnea the problem is the permitions if i give "acess list files only" the sofftware dont work ... and i cant list the files and dirs ... the software only works if i give "acesss to read only" but there they can see my username ... and i'm try to hide the username directory nathing more :x [06:17] Ubuntu support? i cant get a simple question answered [06:17] hmm I wiped the hdd drive cause I tried to upgrade to 8.4 on the PS3 that bit the big one.. bad mistake [06:17] wbmj: good thing were talking about video players.. [06:17] what's the command to set the video drivers to vesa? [06:17] has anybody used pintos ? How can I get it installed in ubuntu or fedora? [06:17] so does no one know how to correct my problem [06:18] Gnea it does the samr in recovery mode [06:18] dolphin_noel: ok, you need to learn how the chmod command works [06:18] i'm running 7.10 right now, and i have all my graphics drivers and eye candy working just fine. But when i had 8.04 I could never get my graphics card to really work. What gives? why is it so much harder with 8.04? [06:18] HOW DO YOU SEE IF YOUR FIREWALL IS ON'? [06:18] wish I could get my video working at all [06:18] hello all gm [06:18] BigBuddha: by making sure your caps lock key is not illuminated. [06:19] eh so 8.04 has issues other then the PS3? [06:19] hi guys , ot a question [06:19] anyone running paltalk on linux here? [06:19] Gnea: wow you are really helpful, ty [06:19] BigBuddha: i do what i can.

The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [06:20] * Gnea looks at shane_ [06:20] Rat409, you know if any of those apps support authentication? [06:20] Gnea: feeling is mutual [06:20] shane_: careful. [06:20] hey, what is a good torrent program with an autoshutdown feature? [06:20] does a default install of hardy have a firewall operational [06:20] Bittorent [06:20] Gnea: rephrase that in a sentence for me? [06:20] anyone here have eve online? and if so could someone help me install it? [06:20] which flash plugin offers best performance - adobe/swfdec/gnash? [06:20] BigBuddha: once you have set-up a firewall front end it is started at boot....for example sudo ufw enable [06:21] adrian_: why do you think you need a firewall? [06:21] Marconga, I think your right, plus It don't support my PC lol [06:21] Gnea so what group i need to give acess?! [06:21] smguy: #wine? [06:21] Gnea to te nautilus work [06:21] Maconga: I heard that isnt really a good program [06:21] what does it support? [06:21] Ashex: not sure sorry [06:21] why do i think i need a firewall [06:21] well [06:21] Maconga: do you have an idea, how tho reconfigure resoluton, because i might be resolution prob, the Grafical Display has a short time some strange lines on it. [06:21] wbmj, PM? [06:21] Gnea whithout i show the username directory to the others .... [06:21] Rat409, no problem [06:21] id like to use some apps that would need to get out [06:21] huh? [06:21] dolphin_noel: i'm not entirely sure what you want to accomplish... [06:21] Any ideas why the recording volume of my microphone is really low, even though I have the settings turned up high? [06:22] i dont really think i need one [06:22] hou5ton: did you enable the dB? [06:22] befor you go programing that you will want to make a back up of your xorg file [06:22] BigBuddha: ok [06:22] as my router modem has a firrewall anyhow [06:22] Gnea i'm try to hide the home directory and the software work to the persons dont know what is the username more diicult to crack dont you think?! [06:22] Gnea: don't know ... how do I do that? [06:22] adrian_: that is (afaik) not so easily doable as in windows. there are no "personal firewalls" in linux only "real" ones [06:22] Its been a long time since I have done that [06:23] adrian_: depending what connections this software makes you can still block. but usually not by program name [06:23] so id like some useful information [06:23] hello how do i make my memory stick reader work in ubuntu?? [06:23] i just downloaded an icon theme, debian installer from gnome-look.org. now, how to use the icons? [06:23] adrian_: your router is the far superior firewall. "personal firewalls" don't work [06:23] Eh I am trying to remeber how [06:23] I can't even remeber the command structure fr the IRC any more [06:23] adrian_: find first out what kind of connections said software makes [06:23] hou5ton: type alsamixer in a terminal and see if Mic Boost is MM or not [06:24] ip conections i think [06:24] irc_bo1: sudo gdebi name.deb [06:24] ANyone have any idea how to put photos on a 3rd GEN IPOD nano!

[06:25] Hi. Can anyone recommend a model of USB wireless adapter that will work out of the box with Ubuntu 8.04? [06:25] hou5ton: that should fix it :) [06:25] adrian_: those you can block, yes. use something like firestarter. gnea made the bot talk about iptables frontends before. read it [06:25] Monoga is there a PS3 specific chanel [06:25] Maconga: Do you have the Video Nano?

When i try to visit a few sites it makes the browser completely hang and the system with it... causing a reboot ... [06:42] blarg: which version [06:42] smguy: uninstall isntructions > http://support.eve-online.com/Pages/KB/Article.aspx?id=391 [06:43] wbmj: of firefox or ubuntu? [06:43] dolphin_noel: http://wiki.mybboard.net/index.php/HOWTO_Chmod [06:43] blarg:firefox [06:43] wbmj: honestly im not sure how to check [06:43] wols: Nothing in xorg.conf. The monitor section look like this: http://blinkiz.pastebin.com/d5907408e [06:44] Blinkiz: but you can change to 1650x1050 after it's started? [06:44] wols: Yes, no problem at all [06:44] Gnea the problem looks it nautilus it is from some group and when i do it ... the nautilusdont work ... the directory [06:44] Blinkiz: I'd add the 1650 res in xorg.conf and force it that way [06:44] 3.0.1 [06:44] sorry im a little drunk. [06:44] dolphin_noel: ok, try this: chmod 755 [06:44] blarg:then it is probably 3.0.......been some issues with it.....I use firefox-2...it is in the repos and will use your already installed plugins [06:44] wols: okay, what should I type? [06:45] blarg: how many beers? :) [06:45] I dunno. read manpages [06:45] Gnea lets me make one reboot to see if it work ... [06:45] dolphin_noel: ok [06:45] Gnea - half a fifth of 92 proof rum and im on my second beer. [06:46] blarg: going for a headspin? i'm only on beer #2. [06:46] and that, is where i will stop it. [06:46] Gnea, but u've gotta go on [06:46] but yah ... wbmj 3.0.1 , you say firefox-2 is more stable? my girlfriend is addicted to myspace and likes videos/music.. i more of a console kid., aslong as i have lynx and wget im fine [ with zgv of course ] [06:46] Gnea dont leave login ... [06:46] wols: You can see my xorg.conf here: http://blinkiz.pastebin.com/d131a25d2 [06:46] Couldd someone help me with a permissions problem? [06:47] usser_: young padewan, one day you too will learn the ways of the force... [06:47] Schijnn: what is the problem ? [06:47] Gnea it was a friends birthday , i got him a bottle of rum and he couldnt drink it , so i tried. heh [06:47] blarg:Firefox-2 is the last stable 2.0 series [06:47] blarg: :) [06:47] Blinkiz: Modes "nvidia-auto-select" [06:47] wols: Aha.. [06:48] I'm trying to download files to a second physical drive in my computer, but it refuses, saying I don't have permission. When I try to change permissions on the drive, it says 'Operation Not Permitted' [06:48] Gnea i think itis more complicated then one simple chown or chmod [06:48] hello , does anyone here know how to make the button on my bluetooth headset work with bluez ? [06:48] wbmj: How do i completely remove the firefox i have installed and all the extra plugins etc i have installed do you know? [06:49] dolphin_noel: explain yourself [06:49] elijah thats an awesome nick .. a great biblical name. [06:49] Schijnn: try mounting the Second hard drive ? [06:49] blarg: dpkg -l |grep firefox [06:49] blarg: but I'd first try with a new firefox profile [06:49] bullgard4: it might be file (as it's used in scripts) [06:49] wols - so find the firefox dir ; then rm the profile files? [06:49] Gnea if i know i was not asking because i know work whith chown and chmod :x [06:49] shingouz: ntfs or fat32 filesystem there? [06:50] i think [06:50] lol [06:50] blarg: no, not rm [06:50] :x [06:50] :) [06:50] Maconga - It is mounted [06:50] dolphin_noel: but you are working on the same system, not across nfs or samba? [06:50] chmox +x firefox [06:50] blarg: try firefox -P [06:50] ;/ [06:50] Schijnn: ntfs or fat32? [06:50] hey all, um, plugged in a wacom tablet, uncommented some stuff in xorg.conf and now, everything is all messed up, this is my xorg.conf file, is there something here that i am missing? [06:50] sorry [06:50] wols - fat32 [06:50] rat thanx [06:50] could someone tell me the difference between KDE4 themes and Plasma themes? Do KDE themes modify windows and plasma themes the widgets? (and does this mean that the plasma theme is the one that will affect my taskbar?) [06:50] My NTFS drive is working fine [06:50] wols: I believe this is correct to add: Option "metamodes" "CRT: 1680x1050 +0+0" [06:50] blarg: a lot of other apps in Gnome use the FF backends, but you could always use Synaptic with completely remove then the config files will show up in the status section [06:51] Schijnn: mount the fat32 properly. man mount. see uid, gid and umask options [06:51] wols: Can this be correct? [06:51] http://pastebin.com/dc91da53 [06:51] Blinkiz: why do you ask me? why not, I dunno, TRY? [06:51] i tried to use synaptic to delete firefox - then i reinstalled firefox and it still froze and acted dumb. [06:51] i think downgrading to firefox 2 is a great idea [06:51] Gnea only linux ... ubuntu nathing more :x [06:51] * Gnea hands wols a belgian white [06:51] wols: I try it. brb [06:52] Hey, the project that i've been working on has just put together a major release that I'd like to see get updated in Ubuntu. Who can I talk to about this? [06:52] punkrockguy318: probably the folks in #ubuntu-motu [06:52] ty [06:52] dolphin_noel: so, did you try 755? [06:52] wols - I assumed it was vfat? Is that wrong? [06:52] Gnea: is that beer? [06:52] dolphin_noel: how about 770? [06:52] wols: yup [06:52] Schijnn: no. but your mount options are incomplete [06:52] wols: wheat ale, actually [06:53] * wols spits it out and crsses Gnea from his "gets a birthday card" list [06:53] pogay: In another channel someone argued f - flood, as in the similar -f switch of the ping command. Hwsat? [06:53] giving me beer. how evil! [06:53] eh?! [06:53] hi [06:53] Hi all [06:54] sorry, closed window accidentally [06:54] * Gnea reminds himself not to try to be nice toward wols anymore [06:54] I hope someone can lend me some advice regarding the bash vs dash shell situation? [06:54] Gnea ., you should change your name to one-b-eer [06:54] ;p [06:54] hey guys [06:54] can you gimme a link to ubuntu off-topic? === dodok is now known as aciex [06:54] !ot [06:54] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [06:55] stylus: /bin/sh uses dash now [06:55] For some reason when i hold down ctrl alt and press f-1 i dont get to a console [06:55] it sucks.. i hate it , whats the point of linux OR any *nix without a _real_ console? [06:55] umm [06:55] >.< [06:55] wb. [06:55] my firefox crashed [06:55] gnea i'm aware of the general situation, i've read the 'dashasbinsh page and a few thousand posts from people arguing the thing [06:55] can you guys gimme the link again? [06:55] wols - ah, thanks. What would you suggest for the umask value? [06:56] does this server not allow you to connect through tor? [06:56] !ot [06:56] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [06:56] havocstorm: have you considered irssi? [06:56] I couldn't see the responses so I'll ask again, I guess. could someone tell me the difference between kde4 themes and plasma themes? do kde 4 themes affect window behavior and plasma themes affect widgets? Does this mean that I use plasma themes to affect my taskbar? [06:56] gnea, yeah I use chatzilla [06:56] Gnea maby the solution is creating one group ... to give acess to this group directory in the subdir ... and block the acount from /etcpasswd [06:56] gnea, the prob is that firefox crashes randomly in ubuntu for some reason [06:56] epic + sushi / BitchX + cypruss [06:56] grr [06:56] stryd_one_: perhaps you could be a bit more specific as to what it is you would like to know? [06:56] *newbie warning* I just install Hardy in vaio [06:56] gnea: sorry i'm ust getting used to the traffic in here ;) [06:57] gnea,usually when I'm loading flash vids [06:57] *newbie warning* however I couldn't enabled the compiz [06:57] gnea: I suspect that other devs involved will prefer me to change the default shell to bash [06:57] dolphin_noel: what about making a /home/group dir and then giving everyone in that group permissions to read/write to it? [06:57] but i'm wondering if any of the OS scripts will be broken by my doing so? [06:58] stryd_one_: i typically don't mind it, unless i see a script go wonky, then i do an update-alternatives [06:58] Schijnn: 022 [06:58] Gnea like /home/x1 (group1 everything hiding chmod 700 and block the acess from etc/passwd) and then /home/x1/username2 (whith group from /home/x1 to can have acess to the subdir) [06:58] stryd_one_: i doubt it [06:58] wel, i have ascript going wonky [06:58] *newbie warning* the graphic card I'm using is mobility 9200. I found that it's no longer supported by fglrx. Anyone encounter this before? [06:58] naughtykid001: that is correct, but it is supported by the open source driver [06:58] dolphin_noel: chmod 070 would probably be better [06:58] it's the typical "the dev assume bin/sh was bash" situation [06:59] Gnea maby [06:59] dolphin_noel: or 2070 [06:59] !ot [06:59] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [06:59] hey all, having some issues booting here, all changes to xorg conf were reversed, but still no go, [06:59] kinit no resume image [06:59] problem is - if we 'fix' the script for ubuntu, we break it for MSYS (DOS/windoze posix) [06:59] how do i get top to show tasks run only by a specific user [07:00] then a login window, and then is says ubuntu is running in low graphcs mode [07:00] why gosh darnit, whyyyy? [07:00] who cares about DOS/Windows? :) [07:00] crdlb: I install the open-source driver already. But still in vain [07:00] ps any help would be awesome [07:00] i care about windows..... [07:00] gnea: all the n00bs using our software [07:00] naughtykid001: what issues are you having with it? [07:00] naughtykid001: it's installed and set up by default [07:00] the rhetoric is stunning. [07:01] Gnea that it maby the only way that probably can work ... :) [07:01] lol [07:01] aso it has been pointed out - using the /bin/bash shabang, assumes the location of bash, so it's really breaking it for solaris etc also [07:01] 我用爱立德软件，可是在应用程序中找不到相应的软件，请问如何解决？ [07:01] crdlb: I couldn't enable the desktop effects [07:01] stryd_one_: then use /usr/bin/env bash [07:01] !cn | woo [07:01] woo: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [07:02] stryd_one_: or don't use bashisms; it's not that hard [07:02] 3 Q [07:02] it's not my script [07:02] naughtykid001: yes, ubuntu has a rather excessive blacklist [07:02] how can I delete a folder if I can't see it? [07:02] Gnea i see one server that we cannost even see the others home dirs ... in /home and they can acess to they [07:02] i'm just the guy who will have to explain why it works everywher but my OS [07:02] stryd_one_: you have 2 choices then: change the script or change the system [07:02] naughtykid001: please join #compiz-fusion [07:03] crdlb: I doesn't need great desktop effects, however I do wish to have the transparency... [07:03] crdlb: ok [07:03] i could probably convince de primary dev to change the script, but enly if i can give him a solution that is more portable than the existing one which will work everythere but ubuntu and solaris [07:03] can anyone tell me how to delete a folder that I cannot see? [07:03] smguy: Hi :D, you can do a rm -r folder in console or ctrl+h for see it [07:03] smguy: ls -al and you can see it [07:04] smguy: see it first with ls -al [07:04] at the moment, the scripts are called like 'sh script.sh" [07:04] ubuntu is pretty much community based? i have 2 problems. a] i CANT get to a real console cntrl alt f* doesnt work .. 2] firefox freezes on any multimedia website.... [07:04] any help? [07:04] i figure i could get him to change it to sh -c ./script.sh [07:04] and use a shabang to call the correct handler.... but what shabang to use that will work everywhere, is the big question I guess [07:04] blarg: a plugin is probably freezing ffox. flash is the prime suspect. as for the first one: what X video driver? [07:04] blarg: check /etc/default/console-setup [07:04] blarg: really you cannot ctrl alt f* ? [07:05] blarg: no, ubuntu *IS* community-based. [07:05] i swear i cant [07:05] okay [07:05] i did that [07:05] ari_stress: some X drivers are broken [07:05] and it gave me a list of my files, withing t delete on it the one I'm try [07:05] blarg: that's new news to me [07:05] * wols looks at savage card [07:05] wols: really [07:05] hi, it is impossible for me to enable acoustic management on my laptop, is there a way i can debug it? [07:05] with the one I'm trying to delete on it* [07:05] crdlb said: /usr/bin/env bash ... is that going to work on other linux flavours, unix, and mac? [07:06] so from here, how do i delete it? [07:06] Rat409: i looked at the file but really dont gather anything from it [07:06] stryd_one_: that'll work anywhere that has bash in the PATH [07:06] the drive just ignores hdparm -M and dmesg shows nothing [07:06] maybe i should type setupcon ? [07:06] still no go. [07:06] i personally believe the scripts are making erroneous assumptions so i'd prefer to fix them [07:07] nevermind, got it [07:07] smguy: cd into it, rm -rf everything then cd .. and rmdir the directory [07:07] smguy: You can't delete a file? [07:07] rather than mangle my OS which is really doing the right thing (convenient or not, it is) [07:07] I couldn't see the file [07:07] but I hit ctrl+h and it showed up [07:07] blarg: i had to edit this line ACTIVE_CONSOLES="/dev/tty[1-6] [07:07] im about ready to rm -rf / everything then reisntall [07:07] lol [07:07] crdlb thanks for the hint, i'll try it [07:07] i had none after install [07:07] blarg: Please don't even mention that command [07:07] Gnea thanks for the help i tryto see bethertomorrow if i catch something i tell you :) [07:08] blarg, not funny [07:08] blarg: lol [07:08] Rat409: what did you have to edit it to? [07:08] cya good night to all [07:08] :) [07:08] bye dolphin_noel [07:08] also thanks for your advice gnea [07:08] dolphin_noel: good luck :) [07:08] blarg: 1-6 [07:08] stryd_one_: np [07:09] blarg: or 1-9 whatever [07:09] hrmph. [07:09] so take out the "" 's ? [07:09] can you cat your file and show me what you have ? [07:09] FINALLY [07:09] is there any other channel i can ask for help for my hard disk problem? [07:09] thanks everyone that helped me [07:09] smguy: :D [07:09] guys, any news on the pidgin bug where our avatar doesn't show? [07:09] socketbind: what problem? [07:10] crdlb assuming htat this works.... may i suggest that the wiki page be updated to include it? [07:10] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh [07:10] anyone have any tips for increasing download speed? [07:10] Gnea: it is impossible to enable Acoustic management for my drive. hdparm gets ignored, dmesg shows nothing. under linux i get heavy noises from the drive, under windows it is completely silent [07:10] stryd_one_: I wasn't even aware that any systems would be silly enough to not put bash in /bin/bash :) [07:11] having the shabang use the path, seems far more felxible than the method mentioned there (assuming /bin/bash) [07:11] socketbind: what type of drive is it? IDE? SATA? SCSI? [07:11] crdlb: /bin/bash is symlinked to bash. not sh though. [07:11] crdlb: nor was I until i spent a few hours reading the flamewars today :D [07:11] Gnea: it is SATA, WDC WD1600BEVS-75RST0 to be exact === MikeSeth_ is now known as MikeSeth [07:11] Flannel: yes, but he's complaining about solaris or something [07:11] socketbind: hdparm only works with IDE drives. [07:11] I guess this is veering offtopic ... [07:11] blarg: http://www.pastebin.ca/1091537 [07:12] Downstream: 1.39 KBytes/s Upstream: 0.04 KBytes/s [07:12] wow nuts - thanx... [07:12] Gnea: oh, and is there any way for me to enable acoustic management on my sata drive? [07:12] hello all [07:12] crdlb: yeh just general cross-platform functionality... i read that solaris and sun unix put bash elsewhere [07:13] !hi | gautam [07:13] gautam: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [07:13] thank you [07:13] hey all, so ive got this wacom intous3 tablet, and i installed it, and now i can only use ubuntu in low graphics mode [07:13] :D [07:13] any ideas? [07:13] socketbind: not all drives support accoustic management [07:13] and of course the dos version just has bash named sh.exe ...but that's a bug i'll take to the msys devs [07:13] i just looked at mine and active console is commented out or anything [07:13] lol === mabus_ is now known as [Mabus-Wrk] [07:13] socketbind: you could try sdparm or blktool [07:13] socketbind: but i'm not sure. never bothered with it. [07:13] MikeSeth: i really hope this one does as it is completely silent under windows but it is extremely noisy under linnux [07:13] thank you gnea, i'm looking into it [07:14] socketbind: What? [07:14] okapi14, my system is currently kubuntu. but i wan to change it to xubuntu [07:14] i just installed xubuntu-desktop [07:14] This is probably something where I just have to change the numbers in the lines, but I've installed Ubuntu to a second HD and am unable to get past the bootloader. Error 17: Cannot mount selected device. [07:14] redrebel: $ aptitude install xubuntu-desktop [07:14] debCarlos: ? [07:15] socketbind: What's silent under Windows and noisy under linux ? [07:15] Kanephren: hello [07:15] debCarlos, i already did that, what do i do after that? [07:15] debCarlos: my hard drive [07:15] mount the system from live cd/ then fix the boot loader [07:15] socketbind: using a laptop? [07:15] debCarlos: yes it is an asus [07:15] make sure partition numbers are correct [07:16] socketbind: mmmm, did you know about the "thing" with Ubuntu and laptops HD ? [07:16] anyone know how to sync evolution and outlook? [07:16] same computer [07:16] debCarlos: you mean the problem with the power management, it wears off the drives prematurely? [07:16] cypha: import [07:16] redrebel__: just start XFCE instead of KDE when you login, and then (if you don't want KDE anymore) do aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop [07:17] socketbind: Yes... [07:17] debCarlos: i disabled it just to be sure. [07:17] aight [07:17] redrebel__: forget that of uninstalling kubuntu-desktop, i don't know if its safe... [07:17] debCarlos, more involved than that actually; see !puregnome for the details [07:17] Thanks gautam, Ubuntu takes up all of the second hd, and was thinking the problem might be something with how I have it connected as. I'll follow the suggestion now, I was thinking I'd need to change the line of 'root (hd1,0)' to some oher unknown value. [07:17] !puregnome [07:17] If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome » [07:18] >.> [07:18] debCarlos, that is a meta-package only [07:18] moDumass: well for one thing i would put the # back in front of Uncomment if you have a wacom tablet [07:18] what's this about laptop drives and power management? lack of power management won't wear out a drive. [07:18] debCarlos: power management isn't that important to me, but i really wish that there is a way to enable acoustic management. i can't stand the noise [07:18] bazhang: oh, ok [07:18] socketbind: Ok [07:18] i just want to do the switch from kde to xface, including the login manager [07:18] socketbind: there is [07:18] Kanephren: good luck [07:18] redrebel__, do so in sessions at login window [07:18] sleepy time [07:19] night gnea and thx again! [07:19] socketbind: But i don't know much about it, and i think you should read/ask about it, the way is doing hdparm -M value (changing value with a number) :D [07:19] guys i tried to upgrade to hardy from Gutsy last night via uptdate manager, and its got 6 mins left till finishing installing new updates. and its not moving anymore, what do i do?? [07:20] nnull: what did it stop on? [07:20] nnull: try ctrl+c then run the command again [07:20] no. Don't ctrl-c it [07:20] whats klogd? is is part of kde? [07:20] generatiing locales.... En AU.UTF-8.... [07:21] legend2440, yeh i am doing that, but it seems to make no difference, which is a little random [07:21] right there Gnea [07:21] redrebel__: no [07:21] FYI, if you're recording video or audio or other timing-critical disk IO, leave accoustic management off. [07:21] nnull: ha! i just had the same thing happen [07:21] Rat409, what command dude? [07:21] debCarlos: hdparm gets totally ignored, maybe because it is only for IDE drives. strange thing that i've never heard of similar problems like mine as the hardware i use is extremely popular, what do you think should i file a bug or something? [07:21] u serious gnea [07:21] nnull: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [07:21] null i would just wait, wont ven touch a button [07:22] hey all, how can I get a script to run at a specified time that requires sudo? [07:22] automatically [07:22] nnull: open a terminal and sudo killall -9 locale-gen - don't worry about any other errors - when it's all over and reboots, just sudo dpkg --configure -a from ctrl-alt-f1 before logging into the gui [07:22] gautam, i left it on overnight to finish.. it had 10 mins left when i wento sleep not its still on 6 mins like 10 hours later lol :< [07:22] mkquist: man crontab [07:22] socketbind: maybe search in google, launchpad and ubuntu forums... and, maybe someone here knows what to do, you can ask in #ubuntu-offtopic... i don't know what to do, i haven't installed Ubuntu yet in my laptop because i'm reading all documentation about HDs and Ubuntu :D [07:22] mkquist: cron? [07:22] nnull: yes. i just noticed that mine just stumbled across language-support-writing-en [07:22] do i need hal if i'm not using kde? [07:22] nnull: lol ouch [07:23] bullgard4: another try to GDM-Start my USB-Disk... (Fonts), cul8ter9 [07:23] ty === shane_ is now known as shaner [07:23] be right back [07:24] moDumass: if its a resolution problem in terminal type gksudo displayconfig-gtk can you choose a better resolution? [07:24] nnull: heh, i just nailed locale-gen again and it's going again [07:24] how do i make a user have root privileges? [07:25] gnea yea same here dude [07:25] for good, not just using sudo [07:25] Dallas: make sure they can use sudo [07:25] nnull: I don't know exactly what you can do, but this just popped in my mind :D. Why don't you try going in livecd start and then in a terminal mount your system in /mnt, then chroot it and run dpkg --configure -a ? [07:25] !root | Dallas [07:25] Dallas: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password.

[08:22] that's kde4, not kubuntu-desktop [08:23] HappyHater: what are u saying [08:23] i think kde-core is enough [08:23] there is a difference? [08:23] ubuntu: or System/Administration/Partition Editor [08:23] that comes with all the apps that come with kubuntu [08:23] p4_xxx doesn't need kubuntu_desktop, does he ?

Although, as I mentioned before, I have used 3 different machines and its hard to imagine hardware issues on all machines. [09:21] sushma: was transmission running when you ran netstat, cause i don't see 51413 port in there ? [09:21] is it possible to apply some settings on a directory so that every file/directory in that directory gets a particular permissions set? [09:21] damneinstein: wouldnt be the firat time, someone bought defective hardware [09:22] damneinstein: "end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 896888" [09:22] !chmod | reenignEesreveR [09:22] reenignEesreveR: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [09:22] @reenign : use sudo chmod -R permission [09:22] what is the ubuntu equivalent of windows' alt+tab? [09:22] sth like that [09:22] :P [09:23] @smguy : the same [09:23] hi [09:23] oh okay [09:23] pdah_: that doesn't hold when a new file gets created :( [09:23] ManualOverDozer8: yes, but on 3 different machines? And these are not new machines, btw, and have played DVDs in the past [09:23] smguy: alt + tab [09:23] reenignEesreveR: almost definitely. look at man chmod [09:23] i need some help [09:23] hmm [09:23] @reenign : seems that you cannot do that [09:23] tab_shift: yeah its running.. [09:23] maybe i've got it wrong ... lemme retry it [09:23] the permission of file created base on owner user [09:24] not on the base directory? :( [09:24] sushma: if transmission is trying to listen on port 51413 and its not showing up in netstat that means a firewall on your system is blocking it [09:24] im partitioning a big hard drive for ubuntu and have lots of extra space after install, what should format should i use for the extra space? [09:24] godmode117: use ext3 with journaling [09:25] reenigneesrever: are you talking about umask? [09:25] ~pastbin [09:25] ~pastebin [09:25] whatever format :p [09:25] ok thanks, tab_shift [09:25] godmode117: you can make that NTFS or FAT32 so if you have another OS on the system, it xcan read it [09:25] theres no other OS [09:25] im not really sure what im talking about :D [09:25] godmodel : depend on your purpose .. [09:25] you can choose whatever format [09:25] media files and such [09:25] reenignEesreveR: hahahaa, fair enough. in the terminal, type "help umask" and see if that's what you're looking for. [09:25] tab_shift: how to unblock it??? [09:26] thanx joesssss [09:26] i have the OS and programs on a 5 gig partition [09:26] reenignEesreveR: umask defines the default permissions for files that get created, i think. i'm something of a newbie. but i did read some of teach yourself unix in 24 hours, so that has to count for something [09:26] sushma: like i said to isolate it whether its a transmission issue OR an ubuntu issue you need to try another torrent client [09:26] what are the command between brackets when you do 'ps auxf' [09:26] http://paste.ubuntu.com/33572/ [09:26] ext3 it is [09:27] then [09:27] godmode117: yes ;-) [09:27] reenignEesreveR: the only caveat that i'm not sure of is that maybe that only applies for the rest of your terminal session? and you want it system-wide? you can probably change it, but i don't know enough about it. hopefully that helps, though [09:27] tab_shift: shall i use ktorrent?? [09:27] sushma: why not utorrent? [09:27] sushma: any client will do, (i personally respect azureus) [09:27] kernel stuff [09:28] sushma: works like a charm for me on wine [09:28] thanks for the help [09:28] joesssss: i'll try it. if it is system wide, it'll solve my problem. Just out of curiosity, is there any way to mask a particular folder and not everything what user creates? [09:28] Hello guys [09:28] i have a problem [09:29] masteredu_: drinking kind ? [09:29] all time my keyboard recover to english language [09:29] when i start my pc new [09:29] how can i change [09:29] english is a good language [09:29] but not for my keyboard omg [09:29] my keyboard is german [09:29] masteredu_: system? administration > language support ? [09:29] xD [09:30] no [09:30] what are the top [command] in here http://paste.ubuntu.com/33572/ [09:30] reenignEesreveR: unfortunately i'm not sure. also, wikipedia says "The changes will take effect during the current session only." [09:30] masteredu_: your keyboard speaks german ? ;-) [09:30] redrebel: kernel stuff [09:30] masteredu_: Have you tried #ubuntu-de? they might be able to help. [09:30] qr, how come there are so many? [09:30] i think no [09:31] becouse they dont know many [09:31] .... [09:31] how do i remove them [09:31] masteredu_: have you tried changing in system>administration > language support ? [09:31] tab shift [09:31] redrebel: the kernel does a lot of things. You don't remove them, they run your system. [09:31] why language support [09:31] I've forgotten who responded to my problem earlier(and should have remembered to do this earlier), but I figured out what caused my problem. Having installed the bootloader to the second HD instead of the default, which was probably first, resulted in the handling of (HD0,0) & (HD1,0) being reversed. [09:31] my system is german [09:31] but not my keyboard layout [09:31] when i change it it alltimes recover [09:32] when i new start [09:32] masteredu_: have you tried changing in system>preferences > keyboard then? [09:32] i have [09:32] but [09:33] when i restart [09:33] !enter | masteredu_ [09:33] it recover to usa [09:33] masteredu_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [09:33] masteredu_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:33] alltime [09:33] it stands german but it is english [09:33] masteredu_: there also seems to be a problem with ur ENTER key [09:33] reenigneesrever: this looks just about perfect http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Linux/Administration/Q_23544346.html but it's unfortunately on that @#*@#& site experts-exchange. [09:33] reenignEesreveR: please stop, you're not helping. [09:34] so if you have a membership, you're all set at this point. [09:34] i know it gives a command but i have forget the command :( [09:34] joesssss: seems /etc/profile can do this too but requires a system restart [09:34] joesssss: http://www.experts-exchange.com/ ? that site used to be named http://www.expertsexchange.com/ ;-) [09:34] hahaha, yeah [09:37] dpkg-reconfigure -all is annoying [09:37] who you mean redrebel? [09:37] it's reconfiguring my entire system [09:37] ? [09:37] i just wanted to switch from kdm to gdm [09:38] now it's taking for ever, and it's asking me a lot questions [09:38] hmm switching from kdm to gdm [09:38] why don't u search on google lolz [09:38] reenigneesrever: sorry to keep beating a dead horse, but actually, ummm if you scroll all the way to the bottom of that page, a funny thing happens. did not realize that was there [09:39] redrebel: please tell us who asked you to run dpkg directly ? [09:39] which page? expertsexchange? [09:40] reenigneesrever: yeah. if you change your useragent string in firefox to the googlebot one, they have the actual answers at the bottom of the page. pretty excellent. [09:40] i was suppose to just do dpkg-reconfigure gdm [09:40] :D :D :D :D :D [09:40] not dpkg-reconfigure all [09:40] reenigneesrever: useragent string: Googlebot/2.1 (http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html) [09:40] then why did you? just kill the process [09:40] i cannot believe that worked. [09:41] they want google to index but dont want the world to read === stryd_one____ is now known as stryd_one [09:41] can no one help me [09:41] recover my keyboard :( [09:42] masteredu_: what else have you tried ?

[09:42] ok, i'm out. bye [09:42] with this command runs alltime my keyboard runs nice :( [09:42] hi! I installed some java libs using synaptic, they ended up in /usr/share/java, apparently java does not search for libraries at this location.. is there a way to configure java to use that path? for the whole system? why isn't java configured to do so in the first place :/.... [09:43] cause i do, i have to ping timewarner's gateway to resolve this problem [09:44] masteredu_: which keyboard layout do you prefer ? [09:44] cna anyone help me set my resolution in xorg.conf the ones ive tried are not being picked up? [09:45] Imagine the human body is a PC and my OS would be linux... uh no driver for my stick.... :D [09:45] i prefer the german layout :( [09:45] but i alltime become usa [09:45] pwuertz: sudo dpkg-reconfigure java [09:46] cypherdelic: please keep that stuff out of the channel, thanks.

[09:47] can anyone say me xD maybe where can i buy a Ubuntu Keyboard???? [09:47] tab_shift: its not a bug, its a feature.... for example... you have to explicitly set a path to /usr/lib/jni if you want to use the svn-java library that came with apt [09:47] with ubuntu logo etc.??? [09:48] tab_shift: ubuntu doesn't do that for you [09:48] masteredu_: You can buy some Linux keyboards, with tux. But this question belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic, not here. [09:48] cna anyone help me set my resolution in xorg.conf the ones ive tried are not being picked up? [09:48] masteredu_: keyboard layout is buggy in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/196277 [09:48] Launchpad bug 196277 in libxklavier "A GNOME login without keypress dosn't set GNOME keyboard settings " [Undecided,Confirmed] [09:48] adilson, did you try the displayconfig gui to setup the monitor?

[09:52] adilson: now xorg auto detects resolution , you need to change it with xrandr extension [09:53] tab_shift: how do i do that? [09:53] command xrandr ;-) [09:53] I have ati radeon x1950 GT and drivers works bad on ubuntu hardy. Does mandriva 2008 have better support? [09:53] mirko: How would we know? [09:54] mirko: are you using binary only drivers or opensource ones ? [09:54] tab_shift: i.e. xrandr 1024x768 would that be an acceptable command? [09:54] drivers from ati web pages [09:54] I've got a complete system freeze when the X server start, could anyone help? [09:54] adilson: sont remember the exact syntax, look up "man xrandr", i don;t have access to xrandr right now [09:55] tab_shift: np thanx will check it out otherwise win for now been working on this for 2days now [09:55] mirko: then thats the best drivers that you can get right now, what is the problem [09:56] may screen is corrupted, and I dont have 3D support [09:56] guys where to download and install berkeleyDB ?

[10:01] tab_shift, im a dumb for asking this question... i just found out what was wrong [10:01] adilson: delete your xorg.conf, xorg should automatically shoose the most optimum resolution for you, if it doesn't then its a bug in xorg and you need to email them here xorg@freedesktop.org [10:01] adilson : is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver of any help [10:01] adilson : sorry my mistake [10:02] Blaqlight, tab_shift: using command xrandr -q shows that my resolution modes currently goes up to 900x600 o.0???

[10:04] adilson: and it includes x or not? [10:04] adilson: Im assuming the basic install doesn't include x because it would then include other wm/desktop environments... e.g. xubuntu kubuntu ubuntu. [10:05] no, but I will try see again [10:06] tab_shift, Blaqlight: on normal install of ubuntu with everything i cna get up to 1280*1024 resolution but on minimum i have no clue what is going on [10:06] Hrrm...

It starts only by [10:34] yugo do u have serbian tv or something [10:34] although, i /might/ want to play music while i do some game like nexuiz [10:34] if i can't do that with pulseaudio though, i can live with that [10:34] quatar-it: GIMPshop is based on a several years old version of GIMP [10:35] yes it is :( [10:35] i'd like pluggable UI's [10:35] yogo do u no how to copy pay tv cards [10:35] ethana2, try asoundconf set-pulseaudio [10:35] restart gnome [10:35] but that's probably a lot of wasted time [10:35] quatar-it, thus a reason never to install 3rd party debs [10:35] rkpisanu: ok [10:35] Hi all, the vertical scrolling on my touchpad does not work although I choosed synaptics as driver in xorg.conf, any ideas ?

[11:07] TecR0c: open a terminal and entering "sudo shutdown" should also do it. Or resetting X and then using the login windows to exit the pc will also do it. [11:07] then i click on either restart or shutdown and the dialog box goes away but it does not reboot or restart. [11:07] TecR0c: does the UI lock also in that case? [11:07] But how come its happening though ? [11:07] whats up [11:08] TecR0c: it might take a little while before it actually quits gnome [11:08] yes the UI locks [11:08] DjViper: i waited for a while. [11:08] TecR0c: one reason could be that a program with a mousegrab crashes [11:09] quit all apps before doing shutdown [11:09] TecR0c: have you always had this problem or did it occur recently? [11:09] i only have firefox and xchat then i closed then and tried to shutdown. even if i restart and login then shutdown i still get the same problem. [11:09] Enselic: only recently.

[11:21] darn internet, I can't stay in channel for a few hours... [11:22] [z]ne1: with your text editor of choise. But you need to make sure you edit as root if you edit a file only writable by rot [11:22] root* [11:22] <[z]ne1> how can i do that? [11:22] how do i make my gVim version the same as VIm? I've downloaded and compiled Vim, and it's 7.1.330 but my gvim is still the old version. I know they _are_ the same thing, but I don't know why my gVim is showing the original old version. [11:22] [z]ne1: sudo gedit /file/with/root/write.txt [11:23] the problem is that I have an AWUS036h with the realtek chipset, and I need anyway wpa_supplicant...

[11:24] enselic, do you know where to get it? it seems all i've found in google are vim examples [11:24] <[z]ne1> !gksudo [11:24] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [11:24] [z]ne1: no, you can also do Alt + F2, gksudo gedit, then File ->Open the file as usual [11:25] <[z]ne1> ok thanx [11:25] ramontayag: ./configure --help will probably give you the flags you need to pass to configure in order to compile the gvim variant [11:25] ramontayag: btw, your IRC client probably has Tab-completion. Try Ens [11:26] Enselic: ah that. yes i've tried --with-gui=gtk [11:26] sorry i mean enable-gui [11:26] ramontayag: and did it complain? [11:26] Enselic: I still get the same problems. [11:27] Enselic: nope, but when i open gVim it's still the old version. [11:27] TecR0c: that was epxected, but now you will be able to see any gdm error messages. Did you get any? [11:27] ramontayag: in what prefix did you install? [11:27] Enselic: do you mean what options did I pass to configure? [11:27] anyone knows why I cant switch to another workspace or fix the volume while Im playing nexuiz or openarena. its like the keyboard events is stucked in the game [11:27] Enselic: i didn't get any error messages.

[11:29] Enselic: /usr/bin/gvim [11:29] Enselic: its obvious its either daylight or near it.... wherer you are. [11:29] ramontayag: does the binary /usr/local/bin/gvim exist on your system? [11:29] hello everyone! is it possible to install the nvidia drivers on the live cd so i can run compiz on the fly? [11:30] How can I change the login/logout sound in Hardy? [11:30] !games BoomSie [11:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about games boomsie [11:30] Enselic: nope, it doesn't :o [11:30] hi all again. In nautilus (on ubuntu hardy), when displaying a folder, going to Edit -> preferences I can set the default zoom rate for the icon view. But how can i set the zoom for an unique folder? Note: i can also use [ctrl] [-] to zoom out, but [ctrl] [+] to zoom in is always avoided!! [11:30] anyone? [11:30] whisper123: certainly, the live CD is a normal system, it just runs from th RAM instead of your HD [11:31] I put my wav files into usr/share/sounds but they will not play now [11:31] ramontayag: does any other binary than vim exist there? [11:31] rr, I mant, whatever3434 [11:31] whatever3434: Patience man, let us atleast read your complaint before you repeat your problem.... [11:31] whatever3434, yes [11:31] rambo3: how? [11:32] rambo3: i tried installing the nvidia binary but it failed [11:32] Can anyone tell me what this means? sata6. 00: exception Emask 0x0 sact 0x0 serr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen, my friend having problems starting Ubuntu, he used the Wubi installer. [11:32] whatever3434, install them load them , reconfigure and restart x [11:32] the problem is that if you install the nvidia drivers on the liveCD you have to reboot [11:32] which resets everything :) [11:32] yes, [11:32] ? [11:32] ther is absolutely no reboot needed [11:32] Enselic: ex rview rvim view vim vimdiff vimtutor xxd [11:32] has someone read my question above? thaaanks [11:33] I mean the restricted ones [11:33] does /usr/local/bin have precedence over /usr/bin ? [11:33] Carbonflux: so do I [11:33] ramontayag: in a default setup yes [11:33] ok [11:33] #ubuntu-pl [11:33] you shouldn't ever need to reboot except when you install a new kernel... everything else most likely would not ever a reboot... [11:33] so I need to get the new compiled version of gvim in /usr/local/bin [11:33] ramontayag: we're starting to get into the details of vim though and my knowledge basically ends here, I suggest you ask in #vim [11:33] I have always had to reboot after installing the restricted nvidia drivers, or at least restart X, normally I just reboot [11:34] Enselic: i have :P hehe. but thank you. maybe with what you've said they'll know what i can do as well. [11:34] ramontayag: what you need is help on how to compile and install and run vim with a GTK+ backend [11:34] arrgghh, hey all, um, i cant get my expensive wacom tablet to be more than a tracking pad, touchpad, has anyon installed one to work as a wacom tablet? [11:34] rebooting is wasier to do granted, but you don't need to too [11:34] I guess if you log out on the liveCD and back in again [11:34] (ok it wasnt that expensive, but it was more than free, and should be more than a touch pad) [11:34] Carbonflux, because for installer it is easier to do that then tell you to kill X and start it manually [11:34] ramontayag: but tbh all the details probably is documented in vim compilation instructsion ;) [11:36] Enselic: Yes, I would think it is. I'm just such a noob.. I hardly know what goes on when I paste these commands. Even the make stuff hehe [11:36] hmm, desktop effects could not be started [11:36] anyone know how i can make my SDcard writeable? gnome-mount mounts it automatically but only ro and if i do - rw it gives me that I cant (not as uid=0 and not as uid=1000) [11:36] ramontayag: don't worry, you'll get the picture eventually.. I suggesst you read... man pages and stufff :D [11:36] -o rw even [11:37] ramontayag: we've all been n00bs [11:37] less -f heh [11:37] ramontayag: ;) [11:37] SphaZ: try -o umask=000 [11:37] guys, how do I get apt going ? apt-setup no such command [11:37] Enselic: i didn't get any error messages. [11:38] anomy: what d'you mean ? [11:38] Blaqlight, Enselic: yes, hehe. I've come a long way I don't feel terribly incompetent. It was really hard at the beginning hehe [11:38] How can I change the login/logout sound in Hardy? [11:38] anomy: apt-get apt-cache and apt-cace search begin your journey... [11:38] I want to select an apt source [11:38] HymnToLife: i tried that, but doesnt work [11:39] SphaZ: what filesystem is it ? [11:39] ramontayag: it might seem daunting but its not. [11:39] TecR0c: try AllowDeactivateGrabs True in xorg.conf, then see if forcing a deactivate solves the problem. If yes, then we're one step closer to finding out what goes on [11:39] filesystem: vfat ro nosuid nodev relatime fmask=0000 mount options: dmask=0000 etc [11:39] TecR0c: I've never heard of this problem :Ö( [11:39] :(* [11:39] vfat only gets mounted as ro?

[13:04] Enselic: Not sure, i clicked it when you sent that message and its till "connecting to localhost" normally 30 - 60 seconds [13:04] never mind, it's seems "en" isn't a valid layout [13:05] gregge: There's no reason why you shouldn't use 64bit, it works absolutely fine.

[13:06] AndyB: so then the server is not properly running [13:06] tonohono: That's what I thought.. I hope I'll see some speed increase, but I thought maybe there were incompatibility issues with 32-bit software? [13:07] It says it is running. and the error log has no errors [13:07] AndyB: when you said "it is running", what do you ase that on? [13:07] When i run "sudo apache2ctl start" it says that the process is already running [13:08] tonohono: Or do you know why they'd advice you to pick the 32-bit version otherwise? [13:08] gregge: The -only- software issue I've ever had in 64bit is concerning Flash. 64er's have to use ndiswrapper to make it work (don't worry, the installer from the repo does the automatically), and occasionally ndwiswrapper hangs. [13:08] AndyB: have you edited any config files after you installed? [13:09] Enselic: Ive added ServerName localhost but thats it [13:09] clicked auto hide in xubuntu how do I get it back Thanks [13:09] AndyB: I'm no Apache expert, but that sounds fishy to me. Revert that and see if that helps [13:10] hello [13:10] AndyB: an Ubuntu install of apache should enable to you go to http://localhost without any configuration [13:10] Enselic: I have, no difference, except now i get an error on load "Could not find servername, using 127.0.1.1 instead" [13:10] gregge: When Ubuntu was newer, 64bit was lacking some popular applications. This isn't case nowadays, and 64bit is better than ever since the x86/x86-64 merging in the kernel. [13:11] AndyB: ??? you have 127.0.1.1 as localhost? [13:11] No i dont [13:11] But thats what it says [13:11] AndyB: what does grep localhost /etc/hosts give you? [13:11] Ive also tried connecting to that, but same result [13:12] 127.0.0.1 localhost [13:12] ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback [13:12] My workstation only says "Starting up ..." when I try to boot it. Is there something I can do to see what is wrong? === sozlukteki_guru is now known as gcx [13:12] AndyB: can you ping localhost? [13:13] by writing ping localhost [13:13] moDumass: still there? [13:13] tonohono: Sounds great! I'll download it asap. Have you felt significant speed increases in all sorts of software? [13:13] Hi! I'm in trouble to install Hardy Heron Server with RAID 0. Could someone help me? [13:14] Hardware Raid 0 [13:14] No it wont ping localhost [13:14] AndyB: have you been messing with your network system? [13:15] No i havnt. [13:15] AndyB: right... :) [13:15] legend2440 [13:15] yes i am [13:15] sorry i was on cooking [13:15] gregge: I haven't done much benchmarking, but when I compared identical systems, one with 32 and the other with 64bit, the 64 bit was consistently faster when compiling and encoding video and audio. It was some time ago I tested, but I think the 64bit completed the tasks about 10%-20% faster than 32bit. [13:16] moDumass: can i pm you? [13:16] legend2440, sorry stuff was burining [13:16] indeed you can [13:16] AndyB: I gtg now, but the problem you should fix first is enabling resolving localhost [13:16] is it possible to install i386 package on amd64 system with apt-get ? [13:17] hey guys.. what's build-dep? :) [13:17] !paste>me [13:17] legend2440, please see my private message [13:18] rkpisanu: depends. do you mean to say only your computer is 64bit enabled? or is your OS 64bit? [13:18] do i have to add a mobile broadband to ifconfig to use it? [13:18] tonohono: I do some video encoding so that sounds pleasing :) I hope the occasional game runs a little faster too, but I figure most somewhat old are not optimized for it [13:19] ubuntu 64 bit, lib 32 bit for old games [13:19] rkpisanu: To force installation of a 32bit package of a 64bit system, use "dpkg -i --force-architecture package.deb" This won't guarantee it will work properly, though. [13:19] rkpisanu: i've never installed the 64bit ubuntu, but was thinking about it, but read that many 32bit programs aren't compatible [13:20] ok, library 32 bit are in /usr/lib32 [13:20] but apt-get search only 64 bit packages [13:21] jebte se goli [13:21] xaxaxa [13:21] bodil_: Could you try to rephrase your question. I'm not sure I understand it. [13:21] gregge: Aye, not too many games out yet which take advantage of 64bit. Enjoy the improved encoding speed, though~ [13:21] i need to format a partition preformatted as ext3 fs using ntfs? [13:21] posto me ovde nejebe niko 5 % zato mogu da psujem jesam li upravu?

[15:46] rom1v: it should be enabled anyway, check out the 3rd party repos [15:46] and how to enable them? [15:46] ¿Anybody help me, please?

[15:46] td123, max out the memory to maintain your sanity, but other than that, the cpu doesn't really matter much [15:46] I bought an LCD monitor a month ago (new) and last week something very strange occurred..I saw what looked like a tiny insect underneath the screen moving randomly and fast around the screen..however i know know it was not an insect and is some kind of defect in the LCD..as there is a 2mm line of black pixels in the center of the screen [15:46] hyperair, most work well [15:47] ok [15:47] oh hi again cwillu [15:47] hyperair, anything bcm4328 will need ndiswrapper, most others will work with b43-fwcutter [15:47] hi hyperair :) [15:47] what are you doing on freenode? thought you were a gnome boy :p [15:47] perlmonkey; lcd gone bad [15:47] hyperair: if you have a choice, go for something other than Broadcom. They have a poor track record of supporting free software development [15:47] cwillu: I can always fall back on an extra radeon 9000 I have, I know that supports up to 2048x1536@75hz [15:47] :( its working ok apart from that 2mm line [15:47] td123, that'll be the max 3d size [15:47] perlmonkey: get a new one :P [15:48] td123, 2d support, that card should support 8192x8192 [15:48] perlmonkey: warranty should cover stuff like that. [15:48] is it worth sending it back just because of that? [15:48] soundray, cwillu: i was actually looking at some inspirons, and they come with broadcom cards [15:48] hyperair, can you find out the chipset? [15:48] I've already ask my question [15:48] dell 1490 [15:48] perlmonkey: "just because"? a line of black pixels is "just because"? :) [15:48] perlmonkey; you a black line forever? [15:48] dario_, 'anybody help me' doesn't help anyone help you [15:48] hyperair, no, the broadcom chipset :p [15:48] cwillu: although I'm kind of worried because it only has 64MB of memory [15:48] cwillu: broadcom 4310 [15:49] perlmonkey: it's highly probable that if your screen is acting like that, it'll just get worse. it is indeed a manufacturing defect, you should get a new one [15:49] well its only 2mm in length and not too distracting.. I think they say a certain amount of dead pixels is normal on new LCDs? [15:49] perlmonkey: even one dead pixel is worth complaining about, let alone a whole bunch of them. :/ [15:49] ok [15:49] td123, are you hoping for compiz? [15:49] the question is about vsftpd [15:49] cwillu, the other is 4315 [15:49] hyperair: you might be better off getting a Dell with Ubuntu preinstalled. I think they use Intel wireless chips [15:49] soundray, i need something cheap, and dell malaysia doesn't come with ubuntu [15:49] perlmonkey: a whole line of pixels is way enough to meet the requirements for replacement [15:49] * perlmonkey will send it back [15:49] soundray, i mean dell malaysia doesn't provide ubuntu laptops [15:49] i think [15:49] cwillu: no [15:50] hyperair, -->http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#supported [15:50] cwillu: since the amount of memory required for just running at that resolution will be ~ 52MB.. [15:50] td123, then it won't make much difference [15:50] what is the fastest wifi tech available now? [15:50] td123, run it at 16 bit :p [15:50] perlmonkey: draft-n [15:50] 300Mbps? [15:50] hyperair: ask them for one. Even if they can't supply you, every customer asking for Linux pre-installed helps the cause [15:51] td123, what res are you wanting? [15:51] I've already say it that in the last step of the instalation, the terminal say me "Can't create the directory /home/ftp [15:51] cwillu, in other words none of the broadcom cards work out of the box? [15:51] cwillu: 1920x1200 [15:51] td123, sorry, missed it the first time [15:51] 2048x1536@16bit should work fine at 64mb, just don't expect any workable 3d [15:51] perlmonkey: maximum of 600 Mbps, most devices support 300 Mbps [15:52] cwillu, that's one hell of a high res [15:52] hyperair, one package install for most (b43-fwcutter will do the download automatically when it installs) [15:52] cwillu: k, ty [15:52] after my upgrade to Hardy, firefox always starts up in offline-mode. Why? And how do I fix it? [15:52] I've installed vsftpd from the gnome-terminal with aptitude [15:52] ... by the way, I am on dialup ... could that affect firefox? [15:52] hyperair, my desktop is 2560x1024 :p [15:52] but don't create the root directory in my home [15:53] * hyperair turns green with envy [15:53] roadfish: it would if you're not dialled in the moment firefox starts [15:53] cwillu, is there no way to do install ubuntu and set up network without a network connection? [15:53] 2960x1050 here [15:53] cwillu: you have dual monitors then? [15:53] I have a inspiron 1501, and have ubuntu 9.4 on, i need help getting my wireless working [15:53] Hi.. anyone know how I can use 1024x768 (scrolled) on a 1024x600 screen? [15:53] soundray: ok, makes sense ... but in this case, I am dialed in [15:53] 8.4 sorry [15:54] hyperair, any broadcoms that don't work with b43 should probably work with ndiswrapper, although finding the right windows driver can be a pain (make sure you check hardware revisions, aka, there's 3 different bcm4328's, each needing a different windows driver to make them work) [15:54] hyperair, define setup network [15:54] cwillu, get internet connection without a wire? [15:54] hello, anyone tried using vyatta with ubuntu server? [15:54] with ndiswrapper i can install it from the cd, and then get the driver installed from disk [15:54] hyperair, look to find a cheap cheap usb wireless adapter, most of them work out of the box [15:54] hyperair, zd1211 chipset usually [15:55] that'll get you working [15:55] cwillu, i was hoping it wouldn't come to that [15:55] Hey guys! I have a problem with pidgin and looks that ppl from #pidgin are busy drinking cofee and watch videos on youtube. Why Y! Messenger Users don't see my avatar? [15:55] cwillu: I was thinking about dual monitors, but then there was a study done that 24" single was a little bit more efficient for people to use then duals, but the duals came close to the productivity of a 24", after 24" efficiency started curving down :) [15:55] otherwise, you'd have to download the packages elsewhere, and make sure you've got all the dependencies downloaded as well [15:55] roadfish: I think it will also start in offline mode if it was in offline mode at the time you last shut it down [15:55] td123, not sure I'd agree with the study; dual monitors give's you more lateral space, which makes better use of your field of vision [15:56] is there any good site for beginners learning hacking on ubuntu? [15:56] Alilo, hi [15:56] td123, I think larger vertical resolutions encourage you to have the monitor too far away [15:56] capri, what are you insterested in? [15:56] hail shuttleworth [15:56] Is only this channel about problems with ubuntu or with the programs too? [15:56] capri, any way you can have a laptop around while you set it up? [15:56] :-) [15:56] cwillu: also for duals, I would have to build a new computer :P [15:56] td123; how can a single 24" be better than a 22" and a 19" [15:56] Lesshaste hi [15:56] dario_, mostly ubuntu. Anything in the universe repositories, we'll help as we're able, but they're not standard in ubuntu [15:57] Hello all, could someone please give me some help with mounting/permissions issues please? [15:57] Alilo, did you get your graphics card set up properly? [15:57] i am good in windows i used it for many years so know i suddenly changed my heart to ubuntu:D cause people say there is no limit on linux [15:57] td123, buy a 40$ nvidia :p [15:57] so i want to learn everything [15:57] capri: cool [15:57] zvacet: still there? === brown is now known as Guest70371 [15:57] i am willing to pay also for private lessons [15:57] guys i need my brodcom working...and im clear of windows, help [15:57] lesshaste no not yet [15:57] ok [15:57] capri: well, it depends on what you want to do, really [15:57] Alilo, you might want to upgrade to hardy heron [15:57] ah ok. Thanks cwillu [15:57] !wlan | rottik9 [15:57] rottik9: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [15:57] bastid_raZor: don't ask me, ask the study: http://www.newscientist.com/blog/technology/2008/03/screen-size-matters.html [15:57] capri, one thing, you _are_ going to have more of a learning curve than a non-poweruser, just because you already know a hell of a lot about windows internals that (a) most new users to ubuntu don't, and (b) doesn't necessarily apply :) [15:58] I have a problem with ssh on my ubuntu server [15:58] dario_, in the terminal, man and apropos is your friend [15:58] i tried that it did not work [15:58] Does anyone know why mount point permissions would be altered after a mount? [15:58] cwillu: I don't feel like spending any money for this old comp, it will be just for work [15:58] :) [15:58] SliMM: please elaborate [15:58] Where I can find help about vsftpd? [15:58] i understand u, thats why i am asking for some guideance [15:58] whenever I try to connect, I get this message: Permission denied (publickey). [15:58] lesshaste the problem that i've not to much ram:( [15:58] wiijii, mount point permissions are stored in the mounted filesystem [15:58] I runing vsftpd in ubuntu hardy [15:58] wiijii: cause the root dir of the new filesystem has different permissions or the filesystem can't have permissions [15:58] wiijii, aka, the '.' entry of the root of the mounted file system is where the permissions are stored [15:59] capri: there is nothing generic really. except maybe tutorials for basic usage of the terminal, which is the most important tool of a power user [15:59] soundray: I have re-generated my public/private key pair and I have updated it on the server [15:59] capri, read everything I just said to dario_ by mistake :p [15:59] i c but were do u recommend me to start [15:59] capri: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [15:59] I'm not sure I follow. My issue is that I have /mnt/disk with correct permissions. I have a script to mount an external hdd, but when mounted it belongs to root [15:59] The perms for /mnt/disk temporarily change until the disk is unmounted [15:59] how can I install my card driver?? i've (01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. UniChrome Pro IGP (rev 01)) [15:59] im kinda new to this, but want rid of windows [16:00] rottik9: which broadcom is it? [16:00] Alilo, the driver is already installed, unfortunately, there is no 3d acceleration support for via video [16:00] tried the info on forms, just not getting it [16:00] I cannot put default/user options in fstab, as the disk gets a different /dev/sdxx whenever it is attached. And its UUID is invalid and does not work [16:00] wiijii, use /dev/disk/by-path [16:00] The problem is that Vsftpd when is installed must create the directory /home/ftp and this isn't created [16:00] in a inspiron 1501 [16:01] soundray: any ideas? [16:01] So I wrote a scipt that extracts the devname from dmesg and mounts it [16:01] SliMM: use the -v option to ssh and see if the messages make more sense [16:01] hello all [16:01] rottik9: output of lspci to pastebin please [16:01] ok thanks i just askes because i've problem with mplayer [16:01] cwillu were do u recommend me to start then cause not even the commands is the same on Dos --> Terminal [16:01] ? [16:01] I tried using /dev/disk/by-path.

[16:03] EmoMark, which cd did you download? [16:03] Hi... how can i find out what driver is being used for graphics if there isnt one listed in xorg? (I know its working because the desktop effects can be used) [16:03] EmoMark, sounds like you got either an alternate cd, or a server cd? [16:03] soundray: http://pastebin.com/d8b5c809 [16:04] soundray: I've got no clue [16:04] got the live cd [16:04] on my own wirless internet [16:04] vendor gives driver in a CD, but it does not compile [16:04] capri, can I suggest finding a different goal for fow?

[16:05] my Wifi is connected [16:05] ok, thanks a lot usser [16:05] capri, most man pages are long an informative :) [16:05] digitalis, image file? [16:05] but there is no firmware installed for my driver [16:06] soundray: perhaps lines 30-32, my public key is id_rsa.pub; id_rsa is my private key [16:06] <[z]neo> how to change the gear plugin to aquarium? [16:06] <[z]neo> anyone? [16:06] thanks usser [16:06] cwillu, yeah seems to be...opie.ext2 as a file [16:06] soundray: ok, I'll wait, thanks [16:06] still someone reading me? xD [16:06] I'd like how create virtual users in vsftpd too [16:06] EmoMark, make sure you include somebody's name if you're responding to them, otherwise they probably won't see it, and you'll feel all neglected and sad :) [16:06] capri: read up on stuff like "firmware" before actually saying them in a sentence :) [16:07] dario_, its actually 755 [16:07] dario_, sorry [16:07] cwillu: sry ^^ [16:07] digitalis, that sounds kinda weird, where's it from? [16:07] cwillu: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition - Supported to 2011 thats what im using [16:07] thanks usser [16:07] when I start eclipse I get [16:07] WARNING: Error loading security provider org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider not found in gnu.gcj.runtime.SystemClassLoader{urls=[file:/usr/lib/eclipse/startup.jar], parent=gnu.gcj.runtime.ExtensionClassLoader{urls=[], parent=null}} [16:07] any ideas? [16:07] cwillu: the version for standard computer [16:07] EmoMark, okay, and the live session booted up okay? [16:07] td123 sorry i dont understad u [16:07] i am trying to install dvb TV device AF9015_MT2060 (by TVisto), it uses module dvb_af901x, i have the source code of the driver, i am following orders to compile it, but it doesnt compile [16:07] EmoMark, boot it up via the 'try ubuntu' optio [16:07] Vsftpd don't create this directory in the last step of the instalation process [16:08] capri, what chipset? [16:08] cwillu, the page quotes this "After that, I mounted 72ka's opie.ext2 on /media/opie and copied all of the files to the ext2 partition on the SD card:" [16:08] I don't why [16:08] cwillu: i saw the loading screen after chosing try ubuntu OR install ubuntu both just ended with a shell [16:08] Broadcom [16:08] cwillu, self admitted noob ;p [16:08] capri, some wireless cards work out of the box [16:08] where can i find a list of repositoy i can add to sources.lists? [16:08] hi, i'm not looking for 3d acceleration, but the correct X driver for my card [16:08] i am using an acer extensa 5420 [16:08] no its built in [16:08] jdlspeedy depends on what you like to add :) [16:08] So does anyone know how to mount a disk and have it accessible by all users? === Tizz is now known as Tizz_ [16:08] digitalis, I think you can just do mount /path/to/file /media/opie -t ext2 [16:08] digitalis, as root (aka, sudo) [16:08] capri: I will just assume, you meant your driver isn't loaded and you're network adapter isn't working because of that :), in that case, do lspci, and google your wireless card. First step in becoming a hacker is to not rely on anyone else :)... that's your first lesson... [16:09] digitalis, make sure an empty folder /media/opie exists first [16:09] cwillu, will try and report back [16:09] cwillu: maybee i need the 64bit? i got a intel [16:09] hi, i'm trying to fix a usb problem, uhci-hcd dies [16:09] capri, no, I meant some chipsets work [16:09] td123 i am already connected with it [16:09] EmoMark, no, should still work [16:09] how do I fix this? [16:09] capri: ... [16:09] what about the virtual users in vsftpd? [16:09] EmoMark, what did it say on the shell? [16:09] wiijii: try to mount them in a dir chmod it to 777 and chmod the files on the disk too [16:09] cwillu: nothing [16:09] cwillu: i only could type somthing in it [16:09] but there is no firmware instaled [16:10] cwillu: does it take affect if i burn it on an dvd ? [16:10] capri: please google firmware and then read what it actually means before using it. [16:10] its strange for me cause i dont understand that much on ubuntu cause its new for me [16:10] Will try that. I've chmodded the mount directory (i.e. /mnt/disk) but it reverts to owner/group root/root as soon as I mount the actual disk [16:10] EmoMark, if it boots up at all, I'd imagine it's fine, but if you have a cdr, try burning to that instead :/ [16:10] EmoMark, it doesn't say anything at all though? [16:10] And when I unmount, it goes back to proper owner/group [16:10] cwillu:ya [16:10] soundray: my private key is encrypted aswell [16:10] capri: firmware is not ubuntu specific. [16:10] wiijii, did you get the message I sent you before? [16:10] cwillu: can i start it from a usb stick i didnt have cds here -.- [16:11] EmoMark, it's more complicated :( [16:11] cwillu: I'm not sure, I think so but I wasn't sure what you meant [16:11] cwillu: oh crap [16:11] pls how can install correctly my X driver [16:11] wiijii: then chmod when disk is mounted [16:11] cwillu: the shell only was empty [16:11] wiijii, the permissions for any given path are determined by the '.' entry (aka, current directory) on that path [16:11] cwillu: so what can i do? [16:11] Alilo: what videocard chip? [16:12] chmod the disk contents or the mount directory? I'm not allowed to chmod the mount directory when the disk is mounted (operation not permitted. Yes I am root) [16:12] wiijii, and that entry is completely different when you mount something on a folder [16:12] well, thanks for all. See you soon [16:12] wols: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. UniChrome Pro IGP (rev 01 [16:12] wiijii: is it a linux disk? [16:12] Bye [16:12] wiijii, the permissions are not set on the _name_ [16:12] lsusb should show what usb devices are connected right? [16:12] Alilo: what errors does mplayer give? and what drivers are you using right now? [16:12] freak_ no it is an ntfs disk [16:12] wiijii, aka, /disk// is not where the permissions are set [16:12] cwillu: OK [16:12] meh, ok I got xubuntu on this laptop, and iwconfig shows my wireless card, but I can't figure out how to connect to my wireless network =\ [16:13] wiijii: chmod 777 /mnt/dir makes the dir world read-/writeable [16:13] cwillu: so where? [16:13] wiijii, the '.' entry of the mount [16:13] that you mount there [16:13] cwillu: ?? [16:13] freak_ I have made it writeable, but the permissions change after mount [16:13] the only driver which work correctly is x11 but i can't watch video on full sceen [16:13] EmoMark, sorry, one sec [16:13] EmoMark, ping me in two minutes [16:13] cwillu: I'm sorry I don't follow [16:13] cwillu: sure [16:13] wiijii: how exactly did you mount the ntfs disk? [16:13] wiijii, okay, you know how folders contain a list of their files? [16:13] cwillu what is the '.' end? I know you mean current directory [16:13] yah [16:14] wiijii, when you mount something on a folder, you've completely replaced that list [16:14] wols I mounted it with 'sudo mount /dev/blah /media/disk' [16:14] wiijii, that list also specifies what the permissions to itself is [16:14] wiijii: and permissions are roots right ? [16:14] wols: an if i use xv ouput i have pls see this url iposted it here http://sh.nu/p/24769 [16:14] wiijii: and that was wrong. you need to set udi, gid and umask options [16:14] ok [16:14] SliMM: I wanted to know what ssh -v output looks like when it works, so I made a key and copied it to the server's .ssh/known_hosts -- and guess what, now I have the same problem [16:15] from command line yeah, not fstab? I cannot use fstab as my UUID is borked and the device is not always /dev/sdd1 [16:15] meh, ok I got xubuntu on this laptop, and iwconfig shows my wireless card, but I can't figure out how to connect to my wireless network =\ [16:15] wiijii, aka, on any unix'ish filesystem, chmod the mount point _after_ it's mounted [16:15] Alilo: I asked you something [16:15] After updating Ubuntu Hardy just recently I got an error when running WoW through WINE (v 1.1.2), everything is black and sometimes flickering. The screen is completely messed up, http://pastebin.ca/1091816 is my wine output, and here is what the screen looks like: http://img175.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot7hk1.png . I realize this might be a WINE related problem, but it appeared after an update in Ubuntu Hardy.. [16:15] :) [16:15] soundray: .ssh/authorized_keys [16:15] cwillu: tried that, I get operation not permitted [16:15] wiijii, if the filesystem doesn't do unix'ish permissions, then you need to set them via a mount parameter, which will be documented in man mount [16:15] wiijii, still need to do it via sudo [16:15] soundray: for me at least [16:15] please help! uhci-hcd died :-( [16:15] sothe: did it happen to update your video driver as well :p [16:15] robf_: I'd look there to begin with. [16:16] sothe: what display drivers are you using? [16:16] oops sothe * [16:16] looking for oddrational [16:16] sothe: and what kernel are you running (uname -a) [16:16] SliMM: arrgh, embarrassing. Sec... [16:16] EmoMark, boot up the cd to the boot menu, at the bottom of the screen, below the menu, there should be a 'hit f4 to do...' type options [16:16] wols yes .. i sad : the only driver which work correctly is x11 but i can't watch video on full sceen ...wols: and if i use xv ouput i have pls see this url iposted it here http://sh.nu/p/24769 [16:16] EmoMark, look for one that gives you a single line command prompt with a tonne of stuff listed [16:17] does anyone has ies4linux ?? i need the tar.gz file , the official site is down :( [16:17] hi, yellow [16:17] EmoMark, at the end of that line, it should say 'quiet splash', delete those two words [16:17] how are you yellow*ü [16:17] So I need to mount with uid,gid and umask? Is that correct? [16:17] robf_: Dont think so, not sure.. I've tried updating it manually and it improved from black screen with sound to at least some texture... [16:17] EmoMark, then continue booting, [16:17] cwillu: the startoptions? [16:17] Alilo: I asked about your X driver, not mplayer ones [16:17] EmoMark, you should then get a tonne of output to the screen, the last couple of lines of which will be useful [16:17] And it *does* allow me to sudo chmod - I was trying to sudo chown [16:17] lastn0de: ati-driver-installer-8-7-x86.x86_64.run [16:17] wiijii, what kind of filesystem? [16:17] lastn0de: That was the installation file for the drivers im using [16:18] wiijii, did you say it was ntfs?

[16:18] wiijii, man mount.ntfs will give you help [16:18] sothe: problem with drivers is newer is more often than not, better :p [16:18] robf_: probably [16:18] but I have other ntfs drives that work fine with auto mount [16:18] sothe: afaik, ubuntu should auto install the correct ati driver for you [16:18] wols and?? [16:18] great [16:18] can someone confirm that please? (not running ubuntu) [16:18] cwillu: So boot again start the install hit f4 in the menu delet the last 2 words in the parameter and then chose start ubuntu?

[16:26] Need some help: My HP DJ 5440 only keeps printing blank papers, it doesn't do anything useful, some help please. [16:26] wiijii, uid/gid are the owners, umask are the permissions held by the owner, group and others [16:26] wiijii: what do you mean distinction?

I have a ATI Radeon X1950 card. The tearing appears when i use mesa and the ati drivers, it even appears when i boot ubuntu and during installation. I describe this problem in more detail in this post which also includes a screen shot of the tearing in action: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=878742 Im open for any suggestions. [16:26] wols: i am sorry i am not an advanced user. I am over at the install screen where you have F4 for example for modes. I am looking to see if I can change the screen resolution so that I can get the graphical installer to work first.Thanks sorry for the confusion [16:26] i started vmware yesterday for first time and then shutdown the system . Now my disk mounts as read only and i doesn't open x as it cannot get lock. What should i do now i am on live cd now [16:26] and umask 775 I guess [16:26] redleer: does it not work with Xarchiver?

I just changed my password on my only account, and i guess it messed up cause now neither my old pass or new pass work in term or anywhere else... [16:28] ok, well if you have hardy heron, then you have unzip installed [16:28] mnereson: no there isn't. you can overwrite the password [16:28] Need some help: My HP DJ 5440 only keeps printing blank papers, it doesn't do anything useful, some help please.

[16:30] i dont really know commands on terminal at all i have played around with ubuntu couple times but still new to linux [16:30] eugman: you could do something like "ls | xargs -i% mv %" [16:30] Im back [16:30] SliMM: have you changed anything else?

Is the .zip file in your /home dir? [16:31] who helped me last time? [16:31] wols is a umask necessary as well as gid/uid then? [16:31] wiijii: none of them are necessary [16:32] soundray: it worked just until I accidentally edited the authorized_keys file [16:32] now at folder where zip file is [16:32] well no, but in my case they are, as without putting uid/gid my permissions are wrong [16:32] in the terminal?

[17:41] vengfulsquirrel: i didn't try the alternate cd - what is it for? [17:41] !alternate [17:41] The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [17:41] soundray: except the fact that it tries id_dsa first [17:41] jmejia: Yeah wait, sorry you were able to install it and it now crashes or you can't install it without it crashing during the install?

One ubuntu and the vista works with the firewalls (the ports open and allows connection) but the third won't accept connection although I've added it to firestarter (as I did on the one working corectly). What might be the problem? [17:42] login* [17:42] SliMM: and you did of course append the client's id_dsa.pub to the server's authorized_keys ? [17:42] vengfulsquirrel: i was not able to install it - it loads the wallpaper thing and the gui windows saying welcome and prompting me to install - but the system freezes before the install buttons fully render [17:42] i have installed glib, pango and cairo , also pass the configuration [17:42] :/ anyone knows how to restore panels in gnome?

The problem here I think is that the double and single quotes are regarded as equivalent, so I think the apostrophe is ending your string prematurely, making it invalid. You will learn, the more you use Linux, that having whitespace in filenames makes terminal use more difficult.

Alilo, what are you trying to do? Is the autodetection not working? [18:27] thanks am7146 [18:27] perlmonkey, micro-ATX cases will take a standard ATX PSU unless you have some sort of non-standard case. [18:27] i don't know what happened it's change resolution of screen [18:28] eracc: yeah it's a very non-standard case, low profile [18:28] an i can't change it from systeme>> preference [18:28] it's a real bitch, but I like the case [18:28] perlmonkey, then yes, you have a problem. :) [18:28] :-/ [18:28] Alilo, what type of graphics card? [18:28] DIL: In which case, you will likely need to modify smb.conf to set it up as a proper share with proper permissions. [18:28] perlmonkey, who makes the case? [18:28] eracc: do you think I can use a 20 pin to 24 pin adaptor cable? [18:28] bobertdos: ty you sir [18:28] perlmonkey, they will probably also have PSU for it.

Some 24-pin motherboards will allow that with restrictions on what you try to use. [18:30] Alilo, Cool. I've had a similar graphics card on an old HP laptop. [18:30] i need a us mirror, im not sure this mirror i am using is always updated [18:30] Alilo, did you try [18:30] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [18:30] am7146, great [18:31] Alilo, that'll make a new xorg.conf configuratioon. [18:31] am7146, yes i did it this is the problem when [18:31] eracc: I got a 20 pin mATX PSU fitted in, it will power up but the system won't boot. I'm using an AMD motherboard with Athlon 64 4000 [18:31] Alilo, Aah. Do you see any backups of old xorg.conf in /etc/X11 ? [18:31] i'll see..

[18:32] eracc: it seems to be hit and miss with motherboards eh? I got an Intel motherboard also which is 24 pin and that works and boots fine with the same mATX 20 pin PSU [18:32] yes please so :D [18:32] *do [18:33] am7146, there is much files which one ???

[19:00] am7146, if you look in the log .. you see it trying to probe quite a few devices [19:00] Can I create a new user without logging in? [19:00] I can't get into gnome to open sysconfig stuff [19:00] hwilde: I am trying to see how to configure this addon storage hald's part. [19:01] Rictoo it would copu urandom into urandom ... [19:01] can someone please explain to me why in /etc/resolv.conf theres a line 'search lan' befor the nameservers, why that line is needed ? [19:01] satyria [19:01] I need to add it utf8 option for vfa. [19:01] what is the command to call theme manager in terminal? [19:01] s/vfa/&t [19:01] kudak, it isn't you at some point defined 'lan' as your domain [19:01] what is the command to call theme manager in terminal, I want to have a background? [19:01] anyone use a Lenovo T61P - I am trying to get the MMC/SD card reader to work with Ubuntu 8.04 - I am using a Canon MMC 32meg card - any tips [19:01] matt_p: you don't have to add any new users. [19:01] so when you type in something like host servername it will try servername.lan first [19:02] until we know for sure that the user is something you have in "messed up" state. [19:02] sobersabre, I still haven't heard what is your problem [19:02] sobersabre; you will be here when I get back? [19:02] roe_: so basicly i use the 'search ' only when i have my own domain ? [19:02] or if you browse to http://google - it will try to go to http://google.lan [19:02] kudak, if you're in the domain .lan .. and you try and resolve a host that is not of the form host.lan .. it tries to find host.lan first [19:02] hwilde: alraune says thx... [19:02] hwilde: I have vfat flash and player. [19:02] otaku2038, eject and reinsert the cart and pastebin your dmesg [19:02] alraune, np [19:02] i am just rebooting to get the exact problem... [19:02] matt_p: I am not sure, but the moment you have solid data - anybody can help you. [19:03] unop: sorry bro didnt get it, can u refer me to a document that explains that whole issue please ? [19:03] hwilde: and these storages get mounted without utf8, so I am getting messed up characters of non-english charsets. [19:03] and I'm talking about several languages, so utf8 is a must. [19:04] sobersabre, you can mount it manually with utf8 and it works? [19:04] of course. [19:04] hwilde, but I want to have it automagically done, that's what we have computers for... don't we ? === qr_ is now known as qr [19:05] Anyone who can help me with my problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=878942 - Seems like the GRUB is corrupted and when I followed a tutorial to restore the GRUB I get Error 22: No such partition.

[19:05] How would I fix that? [19:06] !grub [19:06] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [19:06] Kaspersky_: you can edit the grub lines on boot.

[19:11] If I want an environment variable to be set for all applications that I run, but only for my user, where should I set it? .profile/.bashrc don't seem to get run as part of login; if I put it in /etc then everyone gets it. [19:11] SliMM, man useradd [19:11] and they are all with vfat. [19:11] fyrestrtr: doesnt work like that for me, ive done a clean bare minimum install of ubuntu with icewm, most of the simple options will have to be called from terminal [19:11] sobersabre, you seem to have your heart set on that solution so go for it [19:11] but the gnome-mount manual is a good source for reading. [19:11] aquarius, just .bashrc [19:11] so, I will refer to it, and then think of something :) [19:11] Baby_Shambl3s: I have no clue about icewm unfortunately. [19:11] hwilde: I have several usb devices that can map to the same /dev/sdc1 [19:11] or /dev/sdb1 [19:11] hwilde: .bashrc doesn't seem to get sourced until I open a terminal. [19:12] how do I manually download the Nvidia drivers? [19:12] can someone helps me with php.. when i acces to .php page browser prompt me whether to save the file or to open it with program, instead of just showing the page.. any suggesstions [19:12] fyrestrtr, it doesn't matter where I edit it, my changes only stay for a short time, a few minutes maybe [19:12] they don't show up in my hardware drivers menu [19:12] so, I will have to think about this all thing. [19:12] Anyone know much about xserver-xorg video drivers? :P [19:12] thank you! [19:12] fyrestrtr: do you know the name of the theme manager for ubuntu under normal install or could you check for me? [19:12] I have been told to use sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new is this correct? [19:12] fyrestrtr, I have chmod 444 /etc/resolv.conf, I have killed knetworkmanager, I have edited in GUI, I have edited in vim, does not matter [19:13] I am having issues loading flash object in firefox that need to load xml data. Do I need to install something for this function? [19:13] byebye all [19:13] Hello, I get "Illegal instruction" from a program when trying to show a video display using the prop. nvidia driver. Any idea how to solve this? [19:13] marie: how is your network setup? Do you have a DHCP server? [19:13] vlt: sounds like a bug in the program. [19:13] someone please help me with my Xorg issue :( [19:14] In my FSTAB i have /dev/sda2 mounted to "none" (w/o quotes) and of type SWAP... i look at the output of "mount" and there's no ref to swap OR sda2, but when I do free -m i see the swap space.... also as root if i mount /dev/sda2, it says "none" is an invalid mountpoint (which it obviously is, but shouldn't this be a mount keyword?) [19:14] fyrestrtr: The program I try to run is "zattoo". [19:14] hwilde: what would a summary be like? [19:14] !info zattoo [19:14] Package zattoo does not exist in hardy [19:15] it's zattoo_player [19:15] aquarius, the .profile calls .bashrc [19:15] fyrestrtr: On another machine with the very same setup but an ATI chip it works. [19:15] whenever i close an app it closes rather than going to my taskbar [19:15] what do I do ?? [19:15] vlt: file a bug against the software. [19:15] I do have DHCP server, but while having this issue I have put all IP settings static, still did not work [19:15] menakcman: umm you close the application its suppose to close [19:15] SliMM, sudo useradd -d /home/whatevername -m -s /bin/bash whatevername [19:15] hwilde: yeah, I know it does, but .profile doesn't seem to get run, as far as I can tell. [19:15] fyrestrtr, I do have DHCP server, but while having this issue I have put all IP settings static, still did not work [19:15] err [19:15] SliMM, then sudo passwd whatevername to set the pw [19:15] there seems to be an issue with the openvz package [19:16] i am unable to set the cpulimit and number ofd cpus [19:16] hwilde: i know how to create a user, I want to create a user with administrator privileges [19:16] fyrestrtr, currently the only solution I can think of is to setup a cron for every minute "I do have DHCP server, but while having this issue I have put all IP settings static, still did not work" [19:16] no whenever I close as in I press the X bar on the app [19:16] SliMM, you can only have one root user. [19:16] cd-r/rw not recognized how do I fix this? [19:16] marie: it comes from the 'default search domain' which is setup somewhere in your networking. Either your DHCP server is pushing this to you, or you have it setup in one of your profiles. I have not used KDE so I cannot help you with specifics, but that's the problem you have. [19:16] hwilde: I think SliMM means sudo rights? [19:16] hwilde: yes, but I can have many administrating users [19:16] triggerhapp: indeed [19:16] menakcman: yes that's the close which won't send the application to the taskbar [19:16] fyrestrtr, I do "sudo grep -r example.org /etc/* " and only find the resolv.conf file [19:17] popey: Yes, any idea how to make it work with my nvidia card? Can I use another driver (instead of the prop. one)? [19:17] menakcman: it's application dependant. Some applications override the X button at the titlebar to minimize it to the notification area. [19:17] lets say pidgin [19:17] am7146 will glxinfo also work on figuring things out? [19:17] How do I manually download the Nvidia drivers? they don't show in my Hardware Drivers menu [19:17] marie: you are looking in the wrong place. Its part of your network profiles. [19:17] it used to minimize initially [19:17] now it closes :( [19:18] fyrestrtr: do you know the name of the theme manager for ubuntu under normal install or could you check for me? [19:18] vlt: i have no problem with it [19:18] SliMM, create the user then add them to the right group in /etc/group [19:18] vlt: you're not on 64-bit ubuntu are you? [19:18] fyrestrtr: oops [19:18] SliMM, but you really shouldnt mess with that if you dont know what you are doing [19:18] what is the command to call theme manager in terminal, I want to have a background in desktop? [19:18] fyrestrtr, network profiles are in /etc/ tree correct? [19:18] Baby_Shambl3s, there is no theme in icewm [19:18] vlt: we can't really support non-free 3rd party apps here, so you're better off contacting the zattoo support people [19:18] marie, /etc/network/interfaces [19:18] err anyone actually around who can help ? i think theres a bug in the openvz package [19:18] fyrestrtr, popey: I get the same error msg "Illegal instruction" when running `glxgears`, so it seems to be an X problem. [19:18] Baby_Shambl3s: themes are linked with the desktop environment you have installed. [19:18] what the name of ubuntu theme manager, the one that allows desktop background change etc [19:18] popey: No, 32. [19:18] Assid, make a bug post [19:19] marie: nope :) [19:19] vlt: has it ever worked? [19:19] hwilde, so "sudo grep -r example.org /etc/*" would find this [19:19] fyrestrtr, my dhcp server is currently off [19:19] Gunrun: What card are you using? [19:19] hwilde: yes there is im using one now [19:19] @geirha is there something I can do to revert back ? [19:19] popey: I haven't tried on this machine. [19:19] marie, your network profile is /etc/network/interfaces [19:19] menakcman: pidgin should minimize to the notification area, yes. Try running it from a terminal, and see if it prints any errormessages there when you hit the X [19:19] vlt: how did you install the nvidia driver? [19:19] !bug > Assid [19:19] Assid, please see my private message [19:19] popey: But isn't at least `glxgears` supposed to work? [19:19] bobertdos: I am using a GeForce 9600GT [19:20] vlt: how did you install the nvidia driver?

The problem is that when installing for example openssh on the virtualbox (debian) ubuntu won't listen to the port automatically, how do I add so that ubuntu should listen to the port? [19:22] fyrestrtr, I've barked the whole kubuntu forest,, no joy [19:22] legend2440: does that call the gui frontend or isit terminal base, im looking for the comamnd that calls the gui, do you know it? [19:22] marie, what exactly is your problem [19:22] hwilde: How do I do that? I am 90% sure the only choices @ grub are vista + ubuntu.... how do I enter a safemode, and what do I do from there? [19:22] vlt: you sure that's the right driver, isn't that an old card? [19:22] geirha: yes I am sure [19:22] vlt: you could try nvidia-glx, rather than nvidia-glx-new [19:22] marie: come on over to the lovely green hills of gnome and I'll help you out, I don't venture into the kubuntu forest. [19:23] mattp_, on the login screen there is a session button choose safemode [19:23] Baby_Shambl3s: that calls the gui [19:23] hwilde, some process is overwriting my /etc/resolv.conf with invalid settings [19:23] Gunrun: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual [19:23] popey: Thanks, I'll try ...

[19:31] hi guys [19:31] dusty: cause the first packet will be left through and then all others will be rejected [19:32] are Tavathlon i386 is very general, an i686 is pII an far as I know [19:32] ok is that in the forums? [19:32] Tavathlon: i386 and i486 are the names of some really old Intel processors. The CPUs of today by Intel and AMD are still compatible with i386 binaries, and are used often in Linux distros. i586 is another name for Pentium and Pentium compatible processors. Anything from Pentium Pro (or compatible) to today by Intel or AMD are i686. x86 is just the term given for the group of them, since they all have 86 in them. [19:32] wols, what do you mean ? [19:32] menakcman: under settings -> extensions -> plugins, you should be able to disable the plugins you don't want. (I'm guessing on the english menu-choices, my firefox is translated to my main language) [19:32] dusty: I mean what I said [19:32] wols: yes but nevermind I just know that uname -a will show you what your running on [19:32] Any suggestions how I fix cd-r-rw drive not mounting?

[20:10] !anyone | zod21 [20:10] zod21: 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? [20:10] adilson: tar [20:10] adilson: file-roller [20:10] adilson: tar [20:10] fyrestrtr, hwilde KlrSp1 .. thank you all for the help.. .. restarting network did not fix [20:10] Gnea: what? [20:10] haha [20:10] ipw2200 not working [20:10] marie: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/what-package-is-that-file-in.html [20:10] ? [20:10] what the hell [20:11] !language | Scientus [20:11] Scientus: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [20:11] i restored the delete restarted the process and it didnt work [20:11] kitche, KlrSp1, ok the app is called tar how obvious :) [20:11] zod21: what's so funny? [20:11] Flare183: ty [20:11] What program can I use to monitor CPU temperature, fan speed and so on? [20:11] adilson: np [20:11] adilson: :) tar -xvzf yourFile.tar.gz [20:11] HUNTER_byt1: lm_sensors [20:11] marie, it must be overwriting from a file saved somewhere, just locate resolv.conf fine the other file, and make it correct. then it will overwrite with good settings [20:11] KlrSp1: ty [20:11] zod21: What is your question and is it Ubuntu-related ultimately? [20:11] hey, it seems that my .xinitrc isn't loaded, anyone know why? [20:12] mbrigdan, why do you think its not loaded [20:12] marie: i stepped out, but did you try my experiment from earlier? trash the contents and reboot (so all mandatory services are fully restarted... restarting "networking" doesn't always get all the other daemons) [20:12] hwilde: because nvidia-settings doesn't reflect the changes [20:12] Gnea: what you said about my mac question didnt make sense [20:13] mbrigdan, what does nvidia-settings have to do with xinitrc ? [20:13] !offtopic | zod21 [20:13] zod21: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [20:13] hwilde: It sets an overclock [20:13] mbrigdan: gdm either loads your .xinitrc or a session script [20:13] zod21: you didn't ask the question properly. [20:13] mbrigdan: not both [20:13] marie : if you set up static eth0 in system>admin>network >DNS put your nameservers after that in terminal sudo pppoeconf [20:13] KlrSp1: oh, then where is the session script located? [20:13] hwilde, I did.. and only ones are in /etc/guid-resolv.conf and /etc/oui-resolv.conf which do not have that info in them [20:14] Gnea: the reason i was asking if anyone in here had used a mac, is cause i was wondering if you could install apps from source using the unix terminal [20:14] that comes stock with osx [20:14] zod21: check out fink or macports [20:14] zod21: well see, this is #ubuntu, we don't do macs or osx here, you'll need to find the appropriate forum for that, such as #osx [20:14] cool, i was just curious i use linux but im debating getting a mac [20:14] zvacet, no PPP used [20:15] !ppc | zod21 [20:15] zod21: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [20:15] KlrSp1, no reboot.. I can go back to windows for awful things like that :) [20:15] * oompa_loompa Hi everybody [20:15] marie : that is how I make my connection work with static address [20:15] hi everybody [20:15] marie: well, you can hand pick the services after you edit the file, that's up t oyou, but you also have a chance of missing services that might actually be writing out that file (if it's being written out) [20:16] zod21: macs use intel now, so ubuntu supports the newer ones [20:16] Gnea: well since i use ubuntu, that being the reason im here, i was just curious. because most mac users wouldnt be familiar with a mac. that was why i asked if anyone had used one. [20:16] hey I dont mean to bug you but Im having serious issues with my compiz on Hardy (it work flawlessly on Gutsy, what went wrong?) [20:16] please tell me that can i convert a text document file to a presentation file automatically? [20:16] zod21: welcome to /ignore === breize is now known as trapdoor [20:16] now how do i put back the network settings panel applet [20:16] Gnea: got an idea.. go fucK yourself [20:17] its not in the list [20:17] oompa_loompa: what is the problem [20:17] !ops | zod21 [20:17] zod21: Help!

[20:17] hi === trapdoor is now known as breize [20:17] bah, that's not an emergency [20:17] i have a little problem [20:17] geeze [20:17] zvacet, I'm on a private subnet behind a firewall router .. no pppoe, just IP setttings [20:17] its just a little troll [20:17] u gave him what he wanted [20:17] is there a command to start a programm from the rc.local in the tty? [20:17] Scientus: then don't mention it again and fuel conversation on it [20:18] mbrigdan: that's the thing, it can be anywhere... depends on how your gdm is configured... i use xfce, which the session is set to xfce4.desktop, which is located in /usr/share/xsessions/ [20:18] marie : sorry then [20:18] hey guys, where can i check if my hardware is correctly installed? [20:18] ikonia, each time I open a new window, it comes up transparent(that is the background inside the window), and it messes up my background, I cant see anything until I move the window my background is restore and I can see the window buttons [20:18] Man I love Ubuntu [20:18] ViperuX: in what way correctly installed [20:18] ViperuX: use the hardware? not sure what you're hinting at? [20:18] Ubuntu=Awesome. [20:19] KlrSp1: well, I found the gnome session, but how would I edit it? [20:19] when i wirte /path/name >> /dev/tty1 I see the gui of my program, but when I prompt a number, it is interpreted by the tty and not by my program [20:19] how do i put up all my app lauchers at once [20:19] sudo vim session.file [20:19] /nicklist[A//fffffff [20:19] hghh,ddvfdf [20:19] tg [20:19] tg [20:19] or however you edit files, but do it as root [20:19] senethri1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:19] alt+F4 should close the session window. [20:19] im talking about if i have the correct drivers for my hardware [20:19] they are sitting in .gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers [20:19] KlrSp1, I've done days worth of reboots trying to fix ubuntu oddities. only figuring them out will get them fixed, rebooting has proved to waste enormous amounts of time [20:19] but i dont know how to move them up [20:19] ViperuX, graphic cards can be checked via menu>sys>admin>hardware drivers, similarly system monitor will let you see if the RAM & Cores which are working [20:19] ViperuX: if the hardware is usable - it's installed [20:19] Ever since adding a sata drive to my machine ubuntu keeps freezing, even if I run a fresh install of the sata drive [20:19] ViperuX: well you'll have to research to find out which drivers to use, but lsmod will show the modules loaded [20:20] ViperuX: modules=drivers [20:20] ikonia: not really... for example if the nvidia kernel fails, it could fall back to the basic vga driver [20:20] JC_Denton_, I think you are adding SATA as the first bootable device === root is now known as Guest13602 [20:20] KlrSp1: yes and ? [20:20] Shujah: I did but atm it is not [20:20] ikonia, so any idea Ive been desperately trying ot get this ifxed with no luck [20:21] and therefor the hardware is working, but not using the correct driver, so it's not right [20:21] KlrSp1: hmm, it has no extension, but when I open the file with vim it says it doesn't exist [20:21] oompa_loompa: apologies, I missed the info on it [20:21] mbrigdan: what file? [20:21] Shujah: is there a problem w/ setting it as the first bootable device? [20:21] ikonia, each time I open a new window, it comes up transparent(that is the background inside the window), and it messes up my background, I cant see anything until I move the window my background is restore and I can see the window buttons [20:21] KlrSp1: The session file [20:21] Have anyone completed an installation of ushare / xbox 360 ? [20:21] KlrSp1: hence why I asked for more specific [20:21] mbrigdan: yes, the path [20:21] KlrSp1: ? [20:21] how do i get the gnome-power-manager work fluxbox? [20:21] oompa_loompa: when you say a window, do you mean a terminal, or any window ? [20:21] mbrigdan: what. is. the. path. of. the. file. [20:22] hi :) [20:22] Klrsp1: /usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop [20:22] ikonia: yeah, but i figured he was wanting to use it correctly; which is why i suggested lsmod and some research [20:22] Klrsp1: oh, what, its .desktop [20:22] ikonia any window [20:22] Klrsp1: oops, hold on a sec [20:22] i would like to move my /var to a new HDD, anybody here that can help me with that? [20:22] JC_Denton_, if you add IDE or SATA as the first bootable device the enteries in Ubuntu identifying /boot etc become ineffective since they are identified via hard drive no e.g. 0 or 1 [20:22] KlrSp1: if he doesn't know how to tell if hardware is working, searching modules (while correct I grant you) is not going to get him gar [20:22] jester7, do you know how to mount the new hdd ? [20:22] oompa_loompa: so firefox is %100 transparant when you open it up [20:23] oompa_loompa, create a new users and see if it is something in your profile that is jacked [20:23] Klrsp1: ok, what would I add to run this command: nvidia-settings -a GPUOverclockingState=1 -a GPU2DClockFreqs=837,973 -a GPU3DClockFreqs=837,973 ? [20:23] What application can I use to convert avi to mpeg? [20:23] ikonia, yes, not like transparent, but instead of the application contents I see my background [20:23] Shujah: so how would I fix it? set the drive order manually [20:23] just that [20:23] oompa_loompa: read this see if it applies to your problem http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ [20:23] my ubuntu system has been trashed and I need to get the dbs off the server. I have mounted the hard disk using knoppix and have tracked the db's down to /var/lib/mysql but these folders have padlocks and I can't access them [20:23] Klrsp1: it doesn't need an Exec: added to the front or anything? [20:23] hwilde, this is a new user, and have not changed my profile except for some aliases on .bashrc [20:23] hwilde: yes, i have the new HDD formatted and mounted. i've copied the contents of var using sudo cp -prv. i THINK i've created the fstab entry correctly [20:24] i lost sound completely on my Msi WInd running ubuntu? Is there a way i can diagnose why sound isn't outputting [20:24] oompa_loompa, create a new user and see if it is something in your profile that is jacked [20:24] is there anyway around this bearing in mind that I have the root password for the trashed system which was used to make the files etc [20:24] Have anyone completed an installation of ushare / xbox 360 ? [20:24] hwilde: but how will the system know not to look at the existing /var folder? [20:24] Could someone offer advice on adding another workspace and renaming one of them? The options arnt in preferenes? [20:24] mbrigdan: just that... put it somewhere near the end but before the last line where it probably loads the WM.. and no, you don't NEED exec [20:24] jester7, pastebin your /etc/fstab [20:24] hey sys->admin->hardware drivers dont show anything, what that means? [20:24] what is the best way to resize a pic in fspot and print it...(i have cropped a pic to 4x6 and want to print a 4x6 now but it still prints it fullpage [20:24] AndyB, to add workspaces just right click on the workspace changer applet [20:25] JC_Denton_, I'll assume you have installed Ubuntu on first hd which would make it hd0, once you attach the SATA drive open Bios go to boot priority and make the first hd on which ubuntu is installed the first bootable device [20:25] mbrigdan: exec is only useful if your script needs to source the output (ie, keep exports and path changes) [20:25] Ill try crating a new user just to prove my point brb [20:25] hwilde: I have, and hit preferences, But it only has rows and columns? [20:25] What application can I use to convert avi to mpeg? [20:25] KlrSp1: Is glxgears a good test of whether my settings are stable, or is it more of a performance only thing? === qr_ is now known as qr [20:25] AndyB, and you are looking for.... ? [20:25] Shujah: it is set up that way currently, to boot off the old drive but the freezing persists [20:26] hwilde: Adding more workspaces and renaming them [20:26] is there any other program to run shoutcast stations than movie player? [20:26] AndyB, add more rows and columns [20:26] mbrigdan: stable? sure... but not a performance test by any means [20:26] ViperuX: check out icecast [20:26] ViperuX: almost any media player [20:26] JC_Denton_, both drives are sata? and once you remove sata the system boots as usual? [20:26] Flannel: he means to listen, not broadcast [20:26] KlrSp1: isn't glxgears designed to be a GPU performance test? [20:26] nooooo [20:27] Shujah: the drive ubuntu is currently booting off is an ide drive [20:27] http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Glxgears_is_not_a_Benchmark [20:27] hwilde: http://pastebin.com/d1a6bea6a [20:27] can i install icecast using sudo apt-get? === xrewt is now known as R0cK3T [20:27] ViperuX: apt-cache search icecast to see [20:27] ok thks [20:27] ViperuX: you want to LISTEN right? not broadcast? [20:28] Paradoxx: try mencoder http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/redhat-fedora-linux-help/77631-convert-avi-mpeg-2-a.html [20:28] Shujah: I could remove the sata drive now and it wld boot fine. It would probably stop the freezing too. I did try installing ubuntu on the sata drive and setting that as the first drive to boot from but that install kept freezing too [20:28] only listen [20:28] jester7, ok so your mountpoint for /var is on /dev/sdb1 then it will look there [20:28] ViperuX: then you don't want icexast [20:28] i dont have enough speed to broadcast [20:28] ohh then what? [20:28] anyone know why the partitioner would have problems with an internal laptop drive? [20:28] ViperuX, what's wrong with mplayer [20:28] hwilde: excellent. here's a question though, how would i access the old /var if i needed to? [20:28] ViperuX: you want like amarok, or XMMS, or mplayer, or whatever [20:29] or any of these, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Linux_media_players [20:29] JC_Denton_, are you sure SATA is being recognized? you might need a bios update. [20:29] jester7, you would create a new mountpoint called /oldvar and mount it [20:29] KlrSp1: oh, is there a better stability + performance test I could get? [20:29] it dont have the option to browse directly in shoutcast stations as winamp [20:30] Shujah: I'm not sure what you mean by that seeing it boots of the sata drive ok. The machine came shipped with a sata drive but initially I ran it off my old ata drive from my old computer [20:30] ViperuX, I search on shoutcast.com then just click the Listen button and it plays in mplayer automatically [20:30] anmyone familiar with using polish as a second language on ubuntu? i cant get the special characters to work properly, i use right ctrl, or right alt to select third level characters, but after a while it just stops working, so i will go into keyboard preferences, and the right options are still checked on, but just by going there it makes it work again [20:30] mbrigdan: install sauerbraten [20:30] hwilde: thanks for your help! [20:30] ViperuX, but you're right that was cool in winamp [20:30] yea i miss that [20:30] ViperuX: check out streamtuner [20:30] fyrestrtr, hwilde KlrSp1 ... I don't mind if a proc updates the resolv.conf, the problem is that resolv.conf is getting polluted with bogus info [20:30] ViperuX: amarok has that capability; but you can do as hwilde said (which is what i do anyway) [20:30] JC_Denton_, check this page out > http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-561258.html [20:30] marie, if you can't stop whatever it is from overwriting then locate the resolv.conf that is overwwriting yours and put the correct info in it [20:31] marie: well that was my ultimate question.. is it being populated? or was it just full of crap to begin with? [20:31] Shujah: will do thanks [20:31] i do that too [20:31] but im more familiar with the winamp way [20:31] marie, type in "sudo locate resolv.conf" and pastebin the outputs [20:31] hi [20:31] and i dont wanna use wine [20:31] is wine any good? [20:31] KlrSp1: apparently the package is broken [20:31] can it run ANY windows software or only supported packages? [20:31] what pkg? [20:31] KlrSp1, if I "sudo vim /etc/resolv.conf" the settings work for a few mins then the file get changed [20:32] is there any program to see what keys are pressed? [20:32] mbrigdan: what pkg? [20:32] pkg = package [20:32] im haveing some wierd stuff go on [20:32] Shujah: his problem seems to be a little differnt though - the bios not even supporting his sata drive. This drive came shipped with the machine... [20:32] KlrSp1: sauerbraten [20:32] I know I'm forgetting something but how do I mount a HDD with the live CD [20:32] anyone got a qmail repos or how to get it installed in hardy? [20:32] ztrl works fine in vm but not in host os [20:32] i only used it for small applications: mirc, xfire [20:32] both ubuntu [20:32] Saurkraut? [20:32] potato and cabbage in vinegar [20:32] JC_Denton_, if you remove ide and install ubuntu does the problem still persists? [20:32] Scientus: shoot [20:33] mbrigdan: sudo apt-get install sauerbraten ; downloading now [20:33] !offtopic | perlmonkey [20:33] perlmonkey: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [20:33] are there any decent english ubuntu google groups? I'm having a hard time finding one. [20:33] hwilde: I'm just answering questions [20:33] providing support [20:33] Shujah: don't know. I will try tomorrow. [20:33] KlrSp1: it says that it depends on sauerbraten-data but that that isn't going to be installed [20:33] hwilde, http://paste.ubuntu.com/33741/ [20:33] mbrigdan: do you apt-get update often? [20:34] KlrSp1: not really [20:34] and secondly, try installing the -data pkg first [20:34] marie, what is kvpnc [20:34] if you still get that [20:34] maria, and what is all the crap in var cache setup-tool-backends ? [20:34] Hi. I can get a new ip-address from the dhcp server by clicking on the network manager applet in the panel or by issuing the command "sudo dhclient". Is there a command I can call that does the equivalent, but doesn't have to be called by root? [20:34] hwilde, what who what :)O ? [20:34] homy: nope since networking needs root privs to change [20:35] maria, your name is a lot like marie sry tab complete [20:35] marie, and what is all the crap in var cache setup-tool-backends ? [20:35] hwilde, /root/.kde/share/apps/kvpnc/resolv.conf.LVNC does not have example.org in it [20:35] marie, http://paste.ubuntu.com/33742/ that's all I have. the rest is probably your problem. delete them or overwrite with the correct file and it should solve your problem [20:35] kitche: But using network manager applet in the panel, I don't need to enter my password to sudo? [20:35] homy: you need to expire the assignment; it's been a while since i've used dhcp so i forget how to do that in linux [20:35] In (gtk-)recordmydesktop, I am unable to record any sound. Can someone help me fix this issue, please? [20:35] i don't understand how to use a ppa, can anyone help me? i added it to sources.list, but I don't see an update for the program i want [20:35] homy: yea it just caches your password [20:35] I created a new user I deleted my gnome conf neither one worked [20:35] the ppa is for "awesome" https://launchpad.net/~towolf/+archive [20:36] anything else I can try to fix compiz? [20:36] peepsalot: and you added this line to your sources.list? deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/towolf/ubuntu hardy main [20:36] oompa_loompa: always start by looking at logs [20:37] KlrSp1 nothing significant in the logs [20:37] oompa_loompa, do you have all the updates? [20:37] kitche: Ah, does the same happen if I shutdown or reboot via a menu (usually I have to be root to "shutdown -h now" or "halt" ...)? [20:37] hwilde yes all updates [20:37] hwilde, there is no network directory in the /var/cache dir .. I'm updating locate now [20:37] Flannel, i added both that line and the deb-src line [20:38] homy: well when your using the menu and to shutdown or reboot sudo users have a special thing show up for them to do so [20:38] peepsalot: Alright, and have you updated your cache since then? [20:38] oompa_loompa: there's always something significant in the logs, esp when it comes down to compiz [20:38] Flannel, yes [20:38] want me to show you a copy of them [20:38] marie, your pastebin says /var/cache/setup-tool-backends/backup/network/First/etc/resolv.conf [20:38] peepsalot: And no packages show up? or what? [20:38] can anyone here help me with sudo in ubuntu? [20:39] Flannel, i still see version 2.0 in the repos. this ppa is supposed to have v 2.3 [20:39] peepsalot, you did apt-get update first right [20:39] !sudo | newtoubuntu [20:39] newtoubuntu: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [20:39] hwilde, yes [20:39] peepsalot: alright, pastebin the output of this: sudo apt-get update && apt-cache policy awesome [20:39] how do i use sudo to get into the windows mode of ubuntu? [20:39] kitche: Well, no I mean, if I click "System->Quit->shutdown" I don't have to type in my password to sudo. [20:39] peepsalot: just download the package awesome directly. i'm downloading it now without messing with sources [20:39] is there a way to 'remotely attach' to an existing X session - ala VNC? [20:39] Hi, I need to resize a bunch of photos... is there an app on linux that can do a batch resizing? [20:40] Reenen: "Convert" [20:40] it's a part of 'imagemagic' [20:40] or imagemagick, i forget [20:40] newtoubuntu, when your computer boots up does it go to the terminal prompt or the graphical login? [20:40] kitche: And by the way, users that are not allowed to sudo can also use the network manager applet to request a new ip address by dhcp, so it can't just cache the users password. [20:40] imagemagick... K... I'll have a look [20:40] Overand: yeah use vnc :) [20:40] homy: just like I said sudo users have special permissions in desktop environments to use those features to shutdown and reboot [20:40] !find imagemagick | Reenen, Overand [20:40] reenen, overand: '|' is not a valid distribution [20:40] KlrSp1: my understanding is that vnc would attach me to a *new* session [20:41] Overand: if you just want to launch apps from that session, you can use xforwarding [20:41] !find imagemagick [20:41] hwilde: I'm familiar with it, but thanks [20:41] Found: imagemagick, graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat [20:41] there u go [20:41] Overand: use x11vnc [20:41] hwilde it goes to terminal prompt [20:41] homy: don't know but here need to be a sudo user maybe Ubuntu doesn't lock down the network manager permissions [20:41] KlrSp1: I want to see an *existing* session - and unfortunately, it'd be best to do it via vnc - as i'm on a windows clinet at a friend's palce [20:41] newtoubuntu, did you install the server version? that doesn't have any gui [20:41] (ugh) [20:41] Overand: x11vnc will join an existing session via a module i think it is? and hyou can join existing sessions [20:41] kitche: But even users that are _not_ allowed to sudo can shut down the pc - I can even shut down the pc in the gdm login screen, when nobody is logged in. [20:41] how do i set gtk icons in fluxbox? [20:41] i dont think i did [20:41] hwilde, /var/cache/setup-tool-backends/backup/ has no network dir [20:41] newtoubuntu, what does "uname -a" say [20:41] homy: yes it's how Ubuntu is setup with gdm/gnome [20:42] marie, your pastebin says /var/cache/setup-tool-backends/backup/network/First/etc/resolv.conf [20:42] Overand: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC?action=show&redirect=x11vnc#x11vnc [20:42] kitche: oh, yeah, gdm runs as root, right. [20:42] homy: yes [20:42] hwilde, n/m.. it was set chmod 000 to root [20:42] i give it my login name and password then it comes up with another prompt that has my name@ubuntom [20:42] newtoubuntu, type in "uname -a" what does it say [20:43] just a minute il brb [20:43] KlrSp1: Still get that error, even with the -data pkg installed [20:43] kitche: Ah, and then, when the user logs in and gnome, compiz etc. is started, a daemon with root priveleges that listens to requests to shut down, request ip adress, etc. is started. Is that how it works? [20:43] hello! [20:43] i have a question about using WPA for wifi [20:43] and figuring out drivers [20:43] shoot [20:43] wait how do you tell server version vs desktop [20:43] mbrigdan: that's really odd... are you on 8.04 or 7.10 still? [20:43] wols, wait how do you tell server version vs desktop [20:43] can we do priv chat [20:43] theres a lot going on in here [20:43] channel is better [20:43] !wpa | dog [20:43] dog: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [20:44] dog, google ubuntu wpahowto there is a nice guide [20:44] homy: dbus controls the shutdown and stuff I believe so you could say that I m not very famailiar with dbus myself since I never really read up on it [20:44] hwilde: afaik the only diff is the base pkgs installed... othrwise identical [20:44] i tried [20:44] anything that I don't need to download 73mb for that can "convert" lots of images? [20:44] KlrSp1: 8.04, buts its X86_64, so that version of the package might just be broken [20:44] basically [20:44] hwilde it says password then i type my password and it says password incorect [20:44] i need to find out what my wireless driver is [20:44] ahh [20:44] but all my drivers fall into the same name [20:44] WL [20:44] i'd say don't go with 64 still.. but that' sme [20:44] newtoubuntu, login first, then type "uname -a" [20:44] KlrSp1, how do we figure out if he installed server version or desktop version [20:44] i did [20:45] KlrSp1: Well, 64 is already installed, and I already have 4G of ram, so I don't really want to downgrade [20:45] so when i ask it what drivers i have [20:45] it gives me one name [20:45] for my whole system [20:45] !enter | dog [20:45] dog: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [20:45] what is the path where sessions are save i.e. gnome-sessions etc? [20:46] haha ok im sorry. so, as i was saying, i cant find out specifically what driver i have, since all of my drivers appear to have the same name! [20:46] what does 4gb have anything to do with it? [20:46] !enter | hwilde [20:46] kitche: ok, so I probably would be able to write a program that connects to that process with a D-Sub interface to achieve want I want, but thats more complicated. Thanks! [20:46] hwilde: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [20:46] dog, modinfo (driver name) [20:46] hwilde, ok.. I rm -rf the network directories from there, but they had my settings and the invalid copies as well [20:46] i enter modinnfo (driver name) in console? how do i know what to put as my driver name? [20:46] mbrigdan: 32bit will do 4gb just fine [20:47] marie, ok now "sudo locate resolv.conf" again and make sure there are no stray copies floating around [20:47] adilson: /home/user/.gnome ? [20:47] check out this link http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/general-10/loving-ubuntu-after-15-years-of-waste-in-windows-660052/ [20:47] well, almost. It won't let you address it all because you have video memory and a few other things to take care of too :p [20:47] Sorry to add a noob question to the mix, but I have a Wine issue and I'm wondering if you guys could help or if there's a Wine channel. [20:47] can anyone help me with this compiz issue? [20:47] Hi all. Is there a CLI version of devede? I want something that will take my .avi files and create .isos that I can burn and play on a normal DVD player. [20:47] !wine | dummies [20:47] dummies: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [20:47] KlrSp1: It does slightly less than 4G, and I want to upgrade to 8G eventually, so I'm going to stick with 64bit [20:47] ariqs: #winehq, if you have a general question you can ask here [20:47] hy [20:48] I didn't ask a wine question, fresh [20:48] thanks, FreshUbuntuNoob [20:48] ariqs: I think he mistyped to me ;) [20:48] dummies: there is also a wine channel, #winehq [20:48] ariqs, Sorry :) mistyped :) [20:48] hwilde, only the three in /etc/ and my copy in my home dir [20:48] mbrigdan: jesus wtf do you even ned all that mem for a desktop for? [20:48] perlmonkey: nah im trying something this guy stated in post 9 http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-desktop-x-windows/44062-icewm-background.html and i need to find the path in ubuntu [20:48] so the documentation really doesnt give me a good way of figuring out what my driver is [20:48] mbrigdan: i do 3d design and dev and don't even need taht much [20:49] adilson: well I'm running Ubuntu [20:49] KlrSp1: I run several server apps, while also doing some development [20:49] adilson: there's session stuff in those hidden dirs and also in /tmp/ [20:49] Did someone try the new Ubuntu 8.10 [20:49] Wtih the code name Phoenix [20:49] KlrSp1: I also play around with blender sometimes, often at the same time [20:49] Jack: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid [20:49] perlmonkey: so am i litterally but his running slackware and i need the one his talking about it should be similar anwya will look around [20:50] hi together [20:50] KlrSp1: Thanks! Works great, did an SSH tunnel and ran x11vnc - works perfectly. [20:50] adilson: ok don't forgot to do ls -a to show all the hidden dirs [20:50] do i have to know how to use sudo to use ubuntu? [20:50] still, i think you either need to revisit how memory is used, and how much you're really using.... my current enterprise app supports over 450k users, and each server only has 1gb of mem and barely uses maybe 300-400mb w/oracle, java, and php [20:50] does anybody read me? [20:50] newtoubuntu: Nope [20:50] perlmonkey: ty wont forget [20:50] Overand: cool [20:50] Flannel Interpid ??? [20:50] mbrigdan: and i doubt you support near 450k users [20:50] marie, so did it stop overwriting now ? [20:51] flannel how do i get past the sudo prompts and get itno ubunto? [20:51] whats the command to search for a file? [20:51] Jack: Intrepid Ibex is the codename for 8.10, yes. #ubuntu+1 is the place you go to get help and support for Intrepid [20:51] newtoubuntu: You enter your user password. But you shouldn't have any sudo prompts during login [20:51] !find | adilson [20:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about find [20:51] adilson: locate whereis [20:51] Sry Ibex thought was Phoenix [20:51] newtoubuntu, I think you installed the server version instead of the desktop version. when you put the livecd in did you see a graphical install ? [20:51] hwilde, nope. still getting polluted [20:51] rkpisanu: hmmmm right [20:51] Could somebody help me figure out what wireless driver i'm using? Ubuntu gives me one name for all of my drivers. i also cant find the hardware manager. [20:51] stylzP: are you trying to divide by 0 again? [20:51] thx [20:51] auauauuaaua [20:51] stylzP: ok will try [20:51] lol [20:52] anyone know PHP? I'm trying to call html with a php function.. ie title(); function title() { Bobs Place} can anyone help? [20:52] marie, that's bs you must have something running... pastebin "ps -ef" [20:52] exit [20:52] anyone running mythtv? [20:52] KlrSp1: nope, but running apache+mysql+massive server app, while compiling a new version of the server app while rendering blender scenes takes its toll [20:52] quit [20:52] Tensei: /join ##php [20:52] Tensei: Ask in ##php or #ubuntu-offtopic [20:52] Thanks! [20:52] Tensei, google for an example it's easy [20:52] Tensei: echo 'Bob\'s Place' [20:52] flannel i enter my name then my password then it has a thing that says my name@myubuntuserver:~$ what does that mean? [20:53] that means you're logged into the commandline [20:53] newtoubuntu: That's your prompt. You're already logged in and ready to go. What CD did you use to install Ubuntu with? [20:53] mbrigdan: yes, i run apache, oracle, java, adobe doc server, and about 30 other smaller conversion apps, and i'm tellin gyou it doesn't use hardly anything supporting 450k avg usres, and i thinki we went up to 600mb at a peak of over a million users [20:53] newtoubuntu, you installed the server version. download the desktop version and reinstall. [20:53] anyone know how to fix very slow video playback in hardy? things like mpg videos ? [20:53] hwilde: slow down there cowboy. [20:53] Flannel, guaranteed [20:53] just the 8.04 personal computer one [20:53] what apps i need to install to have the ability to use command locate? [20:53] dog, what is your question [20:53] newtoubuntu doesn't have to reinstall, isn't a "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" enough? [20:53] newtoubuntu: did you get the alternate CD or the desktop CD? [20:53] Could somebody help me figure out what wireless driver i'm using? Ubuntu gives me one name for all of my drivers. i also cant find the hardware manager. [20:54] i thought the desktop cd [20:54] mbrigdan: and even when i use blender and all the acutrament i don't even need 4gb, and this is for PRODUCTION, not playing around [20:54] adilson: locate [20:54] sounds like server if it dumped right to cli [20:54] hwilde, http://paste.ubuntu.com/33748/ [20:54] adilson, use whereis [20:54] jbroome_: or alternate, or a problem. Instead of speculating, lets find out. [20:54] dog, type in lspci and find the wireless card. what card is it [20:54] bah [20:54] KlrSp1: my server app loads 2G of data into memory if you happen to be unlucky [20:54] but how do i use linux then if all i have is that prompt? [20:54] im not sure. presumably i could find out using the hardware manager? [20:54] newtoubuntu: What was the installation like? Was there a GUI? or just text? [20:55] KlrSp1: over time, so you can't really tell how much its going to use [20:55] Pici: yeha but ive got a clean bare minimum install and using locate gives me locate: can not open `/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db': No such file or directory which means something isnt instaleld or soemthing is wrong [20:55] gui [20:55] hwilde, I don't know why I would need winbindd [20:55] newtoubuntu: And you clicked the "Install" icon on the desktop? [20:55] adilson: install the locate package and then run sudo updatedb. [20:55] mbrigdan: yes, in the development industry we call that bad design [20:55] lol [20:55] hi all.how to enter (from bash) windows directory containing 2 words ? [20:55] rkpisanu: whereis doesnt give me all the files that start with the word im looking for, it is more precise to the name and filepath [20:56] KlrSp1: Not really, it just needs fast access to 2G of data [20:56] i dont see where lspci tells me my wireless card or my wireless driver [20:56] Pici: what is the locate package called [20:56] adilson: its called locate [20:56] marie, yeah whatis that, and pptpd https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-pptp/+bug/180566 [20:56] poopuser: cd "directory name" [20:56] Launchpad bug 180566 in network-manager-pptp "NetworkManager zaps resolv.conf" [Undecided,New] [20:56] poopuser: with the quotes [20:56] Pici: ysh shouldve been obvious [20:56] poopuser: escape the spaces with backslashes, i.e: /path/to/file\ name/ [20:56] thank u [20:56] mbrigdan: just saying, you mjight either need to re-eval your development, or figure something else out... also take note, that my firewall with SPI, routing, packet shaping, et al on a flash drive loader, and supports a 50megabit up/down line with no latency, also running apache/php/mysql for the admin tools on it... has 2mb of ram, and it runs flawless [20:56] poopuser: tab complete will do that for you too. [20:56] maybe it wasnt the gui im not sure all it did was say its done installing and it popped out the cd then it rebooted and asked for my name and password i did that and im at that prompt right now [20:57] marie, line 125 dhcp 9440 1 0 11:56 ? 00:00:00 dhclient eth0 [20:57] tu all <3 [20:57] Pici: that makes more sense [20:57] Pici, how do you tell if you have server version or desktop version [20:57] dog, pastebin the output of lspci [20:57] pastebin? [20:57] hwilde: uname -a should tell you -generic or -server [20:58] !pastebin | dog [20:58] dog: 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) [20:58] KlrSp1: well, I won't actually make the program, so I can't really change it that much, even if it is open source. Also: I'm using 1.3Gb of ram right now, with no users connected, and only a 100-200MB of that is my app [20:58] hwilde: how about "aptitude show ubuntu-desktop" and see if that package is installed? [20:58] newtoubuntu: right, but they all do that. (the popping out the CD, etc). Do you still have the image on another computer that you can check the name of? [20:58] mbrigdan: jesus, that just blows my mind [20:58] Pici, I installed server version but mine says generic. I think that newtoubuntu guy installed the server version but I can't prove it [20:58] yes flannel what do i need to look for? [20:58] hwilde, sheesh.. good eye.. I killed it [20:58] I had compiz working fine, but after i rebooted, now i have run "compiz" and "compiz --replace" but my 3d cube doesnt work, or any of the other features:(anyone any ideas? [20:58] newtoubuntu: it'll say "alternate" or "desktop" or "server" in the middle of the filename [20:59] My computer froze while mounting my windows drive and now it won't mount. [20:59] i'm watching a movie, editing one, AND encoding one, burning a dvd of the one i'm watching, and installing sauerbraten right now and only using 650mb of buffers [20:59] KlrSp1: ubuntu isn't really a "thin" operating system, especially with all the desktop effects maxed. [20:59] oh it says server [20:59] im srry [20:59] ha! [20:59] mbrigdan: ubuntu isn't even an operating system [20:59] "unprivileged user can not mount mtfs block devices using the external FUSE library" [20:59] it's a set of packages [20:59] anyone know if i can install ubuntu server on a CF using an ide adapter . . . [20:59] how do i change monitor @refresh rate in KDE? in Gnome i can with : gnome-display-properties command | or i need to set that in xorg? [20:59] hi [20:59] ubuntu is the devil .) [20:59] did i need the desktop version flannel? [20:59] newtoubuntu: That's fine, you probably should download the desktop CD and burn a copy. Since it's handy to have a liveCD around in case you need it. [20:59] alms, yes you can do that [20:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/33749/ [21:00] newtoubuntu, the server version does not have a graphical interface. [21:00] ok thanks for your help flannel [21:00] newtoubuntu: You technically don't, we can take the server and upgrade to the desktop [21:00] but that goes back to my statement of knowing how to do things right... you can tweak th ehell out of it and make it a lot more flexible... plus i don't use gnome as it's just bloat and use xfce since it's lighter... etc etc... there's a LOT you can do to make it "lite" which it is anyway compared to windows [21:00] Flannel: can't newtoubuntu install the gui with "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"? [21:00] is that hard to do flannel? [21:00] newtoubuntu: but, like I said, its handy to have the liveCD around [21:00] newtoubuntu: not really, no. [21:00] newtoubuntu, download the desktop cd it's a piece of cake [21:00] but it sounds like i'm doing more than you currently, and using 1/2 the ram you are [21:00] ok il give that a try thanks [21:00] dog, pastebin the output of "iwconfig" please [21:00] k [21:01] KlrSp1: I don't actually know whats using all the memory though, the top app on 'top' is only using 8% [21:01] I run a localhost in my PC and use it but today when I type 127.0.0.1 at browser it shown an error [21:01] i ran iwconfig>output but the file i sent it to is empty [21:01] mbrigdan: check out htop, it's better than top... easier to read and navigate [21:02] I have a question... I am trying to make a php file that has functions that call HTML code to keep me from having to retype HTML.. is echo the only way to put html in side a function? [21:02] dog, so it's not even recognizing your wireless card. are you sure you have wireless? what card [21:02] hwilde, is it technically difficult? [21:02] lo: no wireless extensionns. eth0: no wireless extensions [21:02] iqson716: are you sure the port is open? check /etc/resol.conf [21:02] Tensei, this is not a php html page [21:02] im sure i have wireless since it works in vista. should i figure out what card by asking vista? [21:02] alms, sorry is what difficult [21:02] dog, what is it a laptop or desktop [21:03] Tensei: You can also use " { ?> html laptop Inspiron 1420 [21:03] hwilde, installing server on a CF card and keeping the install < 1GB [21:03] homy: when I do that it says it can't redeclare the function.. [21:03] usb wifi dog ? [21:03] 977 MB :) [21:03] what is usb wifi? its an internal card [21:03] confy_: nameserver 192.168.1.1 [21:03] ok [21:03] mbrigdan: btw, 8% of 4g is about 320mb.. which is a lot for a single app to be using if it's not much [21:03] homy: yeah you could do that if you don't mind being ridiculed [21:04] KlrSp1: woah, it seems that my server app has started 37 instances of itself === c is now known as Guest72458 [21:04] KlrSp1: each using 8% [21:04] hwilde: sorry I thought i was in php.. my mistake [21:04] alms, oh you have to install on a harddrive first, then rip stuff out, then put on CF [21:04] mbrigdan: those are most likely threads [21:04] KlrSp1: Whats bad about nesting html with ?> and dog, http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_7.10/Issues/ipw3945_Wireless_Network_Module_Issues [21:04] ok [21:04] exactly what i don't want . . . [21:04] mbrigdan: HIT f2, and then go to SETUP on the left side, then check the hide userland threads [21:05] KlrSp1: oh, htop shows all the threads? [21:05] thanks for the heads up -- [21:05] need a little help with a fresh ubuntu install when it is my turn === nickklau is now known as marcules [21:05] this doesnt sound like my problem. it says the netwrok connection drops, not that it cant find my wifi card [21:05] dog, pastebin output of lsmod [21:05] dog, pastebin lshw -C network [21:06] dog, and dmesg [21:06] confy_: what I can do for this problem? [21:06] what diffrence is between grep and egrep [21:06] homy: well for most starters it's BAD design to mix html and php.... secondly egrep case sensitive? [21:06] confy_, egrep is extended with some extra stuff [21:06] confy_: egrep is grep -e [21:06] KlrSp1: ok, ?> and ohhh ok... [21:06] homy: but you still break the other 2 concepts [21:06] grep -e, will check on man page,,, thanks KlrSp1 [21:07] it says i should run lsmod as super-user [21:07] sudo lsmod [21:07] KlrSp1: I'ts more legible if you have to escape lots of ' and " if using echo [21:07] dog, its ok just pastebin it and dmesg and lshw -C network [21:07] confy_: cool... i rarely use egrep/grep -e, and use grep a lot... dunno if you'll really need it [21:07] homy: nm... don't worry bout it, you're not a developer - you won't get it [21:07] KlrSp1: i understand your point === lukas_ is now known as punkrockguy319 [21:08] you have to actually understand application theory [21:08] confy_, if you need to do regexp you can use egrep. and it has a couple other extended options [21:08] k doing that stuff now [21:08] KlrSp1: well i just saw a example... and i didn't know what egrep is... just wanted to ask :) [21:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/33754/ [21:08] ah [21:08] it's for regexp [21:09] Processor usage Q: I'm currently backing up a DVD. Thoggen is at 50% processor usage (steady) according to Conky. This seems like it's likely a limit imposed by the scheduler (?) ... if so, is there a way I can bump thoggen's priority and get it to use more like 75% of the CPU? [21:09] confy_: you can do regex without -e, i think the -e adds like some extended regex stuff [21:09] someone got a little time to help me with a dvb-s car? [21:09] hello [21:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/33755/ [21:09] strixv: do you have a dual core machine? [21:09] KlrSp1: hmm, I still can't tell whats eating all my memory, I'm guessing that it all just sorta adds up [21:10] but i'm stuck on another probelm... how do i change monitor freqvency on KDE? i can change in gnome easily but does KDE gets it's on settings from xorg.conf? [21:10] qr: yes [21:10] dog, ok there is no driver loaded for your wireless. can you pastebin dmesg and lshw -C network [21:10] qr: is it limited b/c thoggen is single-threaded or something? [21:10] strixv: that's probably why, it sounds like a single threaded process using 100% of one of your cores. [21:10] strixv: probably, it's likely using 100% of one core [21:10] Hi :D, finally installed Ubuntu on my laptop! [21:11] eth1: Broadcom BCM4315 802.11 Wireless Controller 5.10.18.0, dog [21:11] qr: That makes sense... damn I didn't think of that. Any suggestions to improve performance, or is that about where I'm stuck? [21:11] confy_: ok from what i can tell, egrep and grep -e are actually depracated unless you want to start a pattern, unqouted, and starts with a dash (-) [21:11] debCarlos, Congrats! [21:11] strixv: the application would have to be designed to take advantage of dual cores in order to do better than that. [21:11] http://paste.ubuntu.com/33757/ [21:11] otherwise grep now natively supports regexp and can do the same as stated above as grep "\-textafterhyphen" [21:11] I'm getting an error during installation: failed to setup package manager. This is using the alternative iso. [21:11] sry i was just using pastebin, if you said anything to me [21:11] any ideas? [21:11] strixv: on the bright side, you could probably do two at once [21:12] qr: gotcha. I guess I'll look around for other DVD backup software. hahah yeah if I had another dvd drive ;) [21:12] need a little help here with a fresh install. [21:12] dog, rkpisanu, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=650729 [21:12] strixv: thanks :) [21:12] drumrjoe, ask your question already [21:12] regarding restricted nvidia drivers [21:12] drumrjoe, Go ahead, ask your questionn. If anyone would be able to answer you. He/She would [21:13] ok, thanks, [21:13] thanks. do you think this'll be all i need? [21:13] strixv: ahh, yes, that would make doing 2 at a time difficult. good luck then! [21:13] trying to install the restricted nvidia drivers [21:13] I had compiz installed and working, but after reboot now none of he effects/features work :( anyone any ideas? [21:13] KlrSp1: depracated ? :) so it's useless? cause grep uses regex anyway? [21:13] * Tumie hoi [21:13] THANKS EVERYONE PEACE OUT [21:13] system/admiinstration/hardware drivers doesnt work [21:14] anyway i got it... thanks KlrSp1 [21:14] anyone know what could cause the package mgr setup to fail during installation? [21:14] confy_: grep -e / egrep interprets regular expressions differently than regular grep [21:14] cool hwilde [21:14] <`brooks> andy: in System -> Preferences -> appearance (Visual Effects Tab) what is selected? [21:14] I'm trying to install the flash plugin for firefox 3. I already installed and purged flashplugin-nonfree, but the symlink "/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so" is always broken. How can I fix it? [21:14] confy_: yup, that's what i mjean by that [21:14] is there a way to install all the kde4 stuff so its available to kde apps without running kde on my desktop and keeping my fluxbox? [21:14] there are apps for icewm that i cant find in synaptic such iceme/icemc/iceconf which actually exist, so how do i go about actually making synaptic find them and showing them? [21:14] drumrjoe, What do you mean it doesn't work. Can you be a little more specific please [21:15] confy_: for example, in regular grep you need to escape ('s and )'s to form groups, whereas you don't using egrep [21:15] Flannel: Does hdparm -B 254 is a good value to put when charger is plugged ? [21:15] sure, it is not showing anything in the drivers section [21:15] CLI Q: Someone told me once about a program that would take two binary files and compare them and show the differences. Anybody know what I'm talking about? Like if I have two identical files but with slightly different metadata or encoded data,e tc [21:15] I have a new nvidia card in my maching [21:15] hello [21:15] rubystallion: hmm these days you should be able to just install that pkg you stated and it works... if the symlink is broken, look for the plugin manually: locate flashplugin [21:15] !md5 | strixv [21:15] strixv: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [21:15] debCarlos: 254 is better than 255, which some harddrives don't like. [21:15] strixv, in general you are talking about a checksum [21:16] how can I play .amr files ? [21:16] i also have a dvd from linuxformat dvd that has the correct drivers but can not get it to install [21:16] qr: i just wanted to ask for examples :) well i get it// it only interprets regex differently... [21:16] hwilde - thanks but I'm not sure I explained properly. I don't want to see if the files are identical binary copies... I want to see specifics on all the areas of difference [21:16] Flannel: Ok [21:16] [Q] When i boot into kernels -19 or -20 I login but it only goes to a lighter brown background and doesn't load any further, how come? [21:16] strixv: not with a binary file no... if you actually want to see the diffs then just use diff or vimdiff.... but realize if it's 100% encoded you won't know jack from squat... ascii files however you can [21:16] * Exteris noes [21:16] decCarlos: Hey just to let you know i got apache working. Did a full ubuntu reinstall. Now just the next issue to tackle hehe [21:16] strixv, on binaries? good luck [21:16] hwilde: lol yeah i was just sayin that [21:17] Flannel: And when it's unplugged i put 180.. that's okay right? [21:17] what the package name for ubuntu image viewer? [21:17] Does the package manager setup require internet connection? [21:17] debCarlos: What? You don't need to change it. But yes, lower numbers means more aggresive power management [21:18] jesse: package manager setup? [21:18] what's the problem ? ALSA lib control.c:874:(snd_ctl_open_conf) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_ctl_pulse.so [21:18] hello ubuntu cant mount my mp3 [21:18] javier: you don't mount mp3s [21:18] hi! how can I use autocomplete in MC? if I just press TAB, the marker just jumps over to the next window [21:18] hi guys -- i run hardy and fluxbox -- i want to add full kde4 support - - but not use kde as the desktop -- how do i do this? [21:19] Flannel: during installation using the alternative iso - the phase of install called "configure the package manager" is failing and quiting. I'm not sure what the problem is - but I know that the network setup failed as well - not sure if these would be related. . . [21:19] jesse: Oh, no, you don't need an internet connection for that. [21:19] Flannel: I mean, because when it's unplugged, sometimes i move the laptop... [21:19] Compiz was working, but after reboot, none of the features are working. Anyone any suggestions? [21:19] Flannel: hmm - any idea what the problem might be? [21:20] Hey guys, how do you set Pidgin's buddy list to be hidden on the taskbar in Ubuntu so the window isn't always open? (#pidgin isn't any help right now :() [21:20] qr, well if i try to open it it says it couldnt mount it and before i didnt have this problem [21:20] hhp2k, just minimize it [21:20] hwilde: The window remains open when it's minimized, I want the window to be closed, but the program to still be running. [21:20] andyB: Hi :D. Can you paste the output of $ compiz --replace to pastebin ? [21:20] what's the command to reset the gui settings? [21:21] hhp2k, mine minimizes to the taskbar like you are saying. [21:21] jesse: Unfortunately, no idea. Have you verified the CD? [21:21] hwilde: oO That doesn't seem to happen on mine. [21:21] Actually no - i had verified a different cd when i was attempting with the standard iso - i'll verify this one right now [21:21] good call [21:21] hhp2k, I think if you hit the close button, it actually closes the window, but keeps the program running in the notification area [21:22] debCarlos: http://paste.ubuntu.com/33758/ [21:22] AndyB: Checking it... [21:22] how can I play .amr files ? is there another way than recompiling with new flags ? [21:22] debCarlos: Thanks. It doesnt look good. But it was working:( [21:23] AndyB: You had the same problem yesterday right? [21:23] does anyone know the command to reset gnome to the defaults? [21:23] so.... still no broadcom wirless [21:23] tempted to try ndiswrapper [21:23] eko1: 100% defaults? [21:24] or buy a long wire [21:24] debCarlos: No that was an issue with apache, but a complete ubuntu reinstall fixed that. [21:24] KlrSp1: as far as the gui goes yeah [21:25] eko1: i mean you could always kill your .gnome folders [21:25] AndyB: Oh... i confused you with someone else... what's your graphic card ? [21:26] any1 knows why i dont have sound in world of warcraft running by wine? [21:26] i have oss as sound system configured [21:26] KlrSp1: well actually i just want the panels back to default, i can change the other stuff manually [21:26] debCarlos: I do not know, Its an old laptop, Intel i believe. How could i check? [21:26] Today Evolution just disappeared, and I lost all e-mails! [21:28] !resetpanels | eko1 [21:28] eko1: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [21:28] AndyB: Do $ lshw and search in "Display" [21:28] eko1: yeah i don't use gnome, so that way above might be best [21:28] Jaaz what do you mean, 'disappeared?' [21:28] AndyB: Or simply paste your lshw in pastebin :D [21:29] thanks everyone [21:29] packages.ubuntu.com seams to be down, does anyone know of a repos for qmail? [21:29] Is it any way to deactivate single mode in GRUB? [21:29] Hey anyone got a moment to help me configure my ubunutu server for a static IP? [21:30] Beefeater: Why do you want to do that? [21:30] debCarlos: http://paste.ubuntu.com/33760/ [21:30] JDLSpeedy: http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qmail [21:30] slade605: depends... do you have the static Ip ready? [21:30] JDLSpeedy: i don't know why, as i've never cared enough to know why exactly, but most mail nerds say never used a packaged qmail... i think it's just cuz of the timely updates [21:30] s33nagain: it's just for the LAN [21:30] debCarlos, prevent people from changing the root password. [21:30] Or just one step towards it really. [21:31] nickrud: yesterday it came some updates, and now Ubuntu is that it is not installed anymore. If I try to reinstall it, it fails to conflict with other packages. [21:31] Beefeater: Edit your menu.lst in /boot/grub/menu.lst commenting it... [21:31] debCarlos; Sorry i didnt see your first "search" suggestion. If i had of i would have done it. [21:31] AndyB: Intel [21:31] Can't you just go into System > Admin > Network and change the properties of your ethernet card? [21:31] I have an app server that also serves a website using apache, but it's behind the corporate firewall and policy is not to open port 80 on the firewall. I want to place another server in a co-location facility and have the website mirrored to that server. What is that type of mirrored server called? [21:31] s33nagain: it's all command line, server edition [21:31] Beefeater edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, edit # alternatives=true to false, run sudo update-grub [21:32] debCarlos: Yes, Will Compiz work with intel? It should. It was working until i rebooted [21:32] Jaaz could you put the complete output of sudo apt-get -f install on pastebin? [21:32] AndyB: You have an Intnel card :), so it should go alrigth, try installing emerald and launching compiz --replace [21:32] Beefeater that's 'alternative', not alternatives sorry [21:32] AndyB: And maybe dmesg | tail can help too :) [21:33] slade605: not familiar with changeing the network through the terminal... Sorry :-/ === Aragon is now known as Araginchen [21:33] nickrud: What does that ? (Comment it ) [21:33] nickrud, that is it? Do I need to remove the entries of single for recovery mode? [21:33] jpds: thanks, im kinda new to ubuntu, i switched to ubuntu after a computer got fried [21:33] s33nagain: ahh it's ok, I thin my problem was not saving the file the first time... lol [21:33] was running gentoo [21:33] hehe [21:33] <3 gentoo [21:34] Beefeater that line is used by the update-grub thingo to create menu.lst. If you set that to false, the recovery mode menu items won't be generated [21:34] but <3 ubuntu as well [21:34] s33nagain: man interfaces ftw [21:34] Beefeater and don't remove the single # either ;) === Araginchen is now known as Aragon [21:34] nickrud: Ok... it was me who asked :) [21:34] Hey, I've just installed Ubuntu as a dual with Window XP (Pre installed) and I have a problem with the start screen for selecting which OS to boot in. My keyboard seems to not work, but as soon as ubuntu loads it works. It's wireless and a Belkin one, any ideas? [21:34] debCarlos: http://paste.ubuntu.com/33762/ There is dmesg, i will install emerald. And yes i have tried the compiz --replace [21:34] JDLSpeedy: you're going to like ubuntu just for the fact that your compile times will be 0 :)... most of th etime... but no, i've actually switched completely off gentoo at home [21:34] * s33nagain has never used Gentoo... [21:34] debCarlos ah, sorry. Nick confusion ;) [21:35] Alright, thanks. [21:35] nickrud: But now, i checked and he asked too :S [21:35] NeroGage: enable legacy usb in your BIOS [21:35] hello [21:35] How do I do that? I'm not really familiar with any of this. [21:35] KlrSp1: now to get all my programs back to order [21:35] NeroGage: umm well what type of PC do you have? [21:35] JDLSpeedy: actually today i was thinking bout how i missed the configurability of gentoo, when i decided to install gnome on a crap laptop; then i decided... no.. i don't [21:36] after 150 packages and 6 minutes later, gnome was up and running [21:36] Gigabyte, I think. [21:36] nickrud, one more question though .. you sure this will prevent a user from hitting ESC and then enter single? [21:36] nickrud: I quess I need to switch to english language before... [21:36] JDLSpeedy: yeah but if you backed up your home dir, you're good [21:36] ubuntu wont mount my mp3, what can i do? I can see it but cant access it [21:36] Beefeater no, that simply disables the menu item. You can add a password [21:36] KlrSp1: gentoo would be like...afew hours [21:36] LOL [21:36] NeroGage: reboot and when you see the splash screen hit Delete I think [21:36] nickrud, then I'm with you. Thanks again. [21:37] Jaaz LANGUAGE="C" sudo apt-get -f install should get english messages [21:37] at LEAST [21:37] JDLSpeedy: Welcome then! [21:37] NeroGage: It should say at the bottom of your screen right when your monitor comes on which key to press to enter setup [21:37] Eyes`Only: Yeah, I can enter the BIOS, but is activating the Legacy USB easy to find? If so I'll jsut hunt around a bit. [21:37] KlrSp1: I have my harddrives that has everything, i just have to get my new system in order [21:37] i have a problem with all mplayer versions. mplayer fails to disable screen saver and hangs for some seconds trying to do so. after that it just plays back normal [21:37] yeah, easy to find. there's only a couple USB settings [21:38] debCarlos: My friend, Thank you. It now works that emerald is installed :) [21:38] Eyes`Only: Okay, thanks. [21:38] NeroGage: np. I had the same problem :P [21:38] nickrud: Reading package lists...

[21:38] Reading package lists... Done [21:38] JDLSpeedy: I learned linux via gentoo, was definitely an advantage... i know way more than most ppl i know do... and it's saved many asses as well.... but I first played with gentoo on like the 3rd or 4th release on an old Dell laptop; p90 w/64mb EDO ram... i attempted to compile KDE, and after 7 days i said "$*&# this" and compiled fluxbox in about 5 minutes; lol [21:38] Jaaz hahaha. Put the output on paste.ubuntu.com ; ;) [21:38] AndyB: Ok :D. Good, anyway, install emerald is like a workaround, because compiz should work without it... [21:38] Jaaz actually, I see enough there [21:39] KlrSp1: i been using fluxbox for the last 6 years [21:39] Jaaz LANGUAGE="C" sudo apt-get install evolution , put that on paste.ubuntu.com [21:39] KlrSp1: now using gnome from ubuntu [21:40] JDLSpeedy: yeah i used it for about that long as well, then fell in love with xfce while i was in gentoo [21:40] JDLSpeedy: if you like flux's minimalism, but like gnome's cool plugin capability, then xfce is for you; otherwise gnome==winxp to me [21:40] hi guys, plz check my problem here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=878959 [21:41] JDLSpeedy: and the XUbuntu team has done wonders to actually make it a more robust experience than stock (ie via gentoo's emerge or a manual source compile) [21:41] KlrSp1: i didn't like xfce [21:41] JDLSpeedy: really? i love it compared to the other WMs... gnome is just too bloated for my taste [21:41] slade605: Learned Linux via Red Hat (dont kno the version, copyright 1999) then switched to Windows.

[21:42] Kita_kita_koko: command line app "diagnostic message" tells you bunch of stuff bout your computer [21:43] KlrSp1: i like installed ubuntu like yesterday [21:43] nickrud: So pasted somehow it there [21:43] Jaaz now give me the link, so I can see it ;) [21:43] Kita_kita_koko: but keep in mind, that suspend isn't fully supported on all platforms, nor hibernate [21:43] I learned linux with debian etch, and all problematic hardware (NVIDIA, wireless card, ipod and other stuff) lol [21:43] KlrSp1 yes also hibernate usually doesnt work [21:44] nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu.com/33767/ [21:44] KlrSp1 but why? [21:44] LFS if you really want to learn linux [21:44] Kita_kita_koko: you're using open source drivers or drivers made by the manuf. that doesn't care too much for linux [21:44] KlrSp1: does not know how to use the apt-get source :-/ [21:44] KlrSp1 so is there any solution for my problem? [21:44] Could I delete all partitions/partition tables using the installer and let Ubuntu redo them from scratch?

[21:47] Kita_kita_koko: I would say Intel, since they stay open source [21:47] suggestions? [21:47] JDLSpeedy: oh, trying to get the source? yeah not all pkgs have the source set up; might just have to get it from the main site [21:47] Kita_kita_koko: linux was originally developed for x86 machines (intel) :) [21:47] nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu.com/33769/ [21:48] dwhsix|laptop1: you have the drivers installed?

[21:54] debCarlos: the drive seems to be fine otherwise, as I've been able to read files off of it without problem [21:54] Jaaz and just loverly, packages.ubuntu.com is not working. My best bet is the repo's are out of sync, or the latest build failed for the data-server. They will sync back up, and then you will be able to reinstall evolution. Your mail and all the settings are still there, and won't be lost [21:54] and I was able to boot an LFS cd..

[22:04] !wacom | moDumass [22:04] NeroGage, IndyGunFreak: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"!

I know onboard is never as good as the real thing, but I feel like it's more sluggish in linux. [22:05] thats one thing openSUSE has over ubuntu-- it won't allow sudo for gedit, you have to gnomesu [22:05] lmosher, are you using Compiz Fusion/ Desktop Effects? [22:05] Eyes`Only: yeah, i usually always gksudo, just forgot. [22:05] lmosher: that mostly has to do with the driver you use, which can be indepdent of OS [22:05] !trendnet [22:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about trendnet [22:05] magnetron, Yes, but I turn it off when I'm trying to do something more graphically intensive. [22:06] Eyes`Only, Id like to use all the features, in Win it acted as a drawing tablet, IE the tablet recognised the pointers position when it was just above the tablet [22:06] IndyGunFreak: I'm terrible with remembering gksudo myself... OpenSUSE forced me to adapt though [22:06] hi [22:06] Eyes`Only: Do I just move this "title: Windows.. blah blah, root, etc" up in the list of the other ones? is it safe to remove the divider? [22:06] Eyes`Only: i usually remember on my box, when i'm doing something, but i forget on occasion when explaining to others [22:06] !hi | hale3rd [22:06] hale3rd: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [22:06] Eyes`Only, but in Ubuntu its as if i have to draw small lines to move the pointer [22:06] moDumass: well there's a lot of features, most have to be configured in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [22:06] anybody know why suspend/hiberate does not work? [22:06] RequinB4, Well, are there any better drivers? :) [22:06] NeroGage: move the whole block, yes [22:06] Okay, thanks/ [22:06] i'm using dell xps 1330 [22:06] !doesn't work | hale3rd [22:06] hale3rd: 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. [22:06] NeroGage: or just change the default to be the 2nd/3rd/whatever [22:07] well, it crashes [22:07] Is there a way to purge dependencies on a app? ex: sudo aptitude purge only purges the package and just removes its dependencies [22:07] Eyes`Only, yeh ive had to reboot about 30 times trying to get my xorg.conf to work after initial install [22:07] i can't resume [22:07] lmosher: depends on your card, really, i can't help with onboard [22:07] Eyes`Only, i have installed wacom tools [22:07] What button do i push to restart my linux without actually restarting the computer [22:07] moDumass: ubuntu actually has really good wacom support.. i've even been able to get rotation to work on a touchscreen and actually have the stylus oriented correctly [22:07] can anyone help me to mount 2 ntfs drives [22:07] Eyes`Only, and ive done prob 5 or 6 walkthroughs re setting it up [22:07] andrei_: control alt backspace, will just restart the GUI, if thats what you're asking [22:08] lmosher, the driver for intel graphics that was available at the time for the 8.04 release didn't support compiz and accelerated video at the same time. don't use compiz with that card. [22:08] thanks [22:08] nickrud: Yes, I found them [22:08] Eyes`Only, oh, no doubt that there is a way, i just cant find it [22:08] RequinB4, As far as I can tell there are no spiffier drivers for Intel onboard cards :( My old laptop had an nvidia 7800 and it was great, but it kicked the bucket :) [22:08] moDumass: ok well give me a feature you want. hold down = right click? double-tap=something? what do you want? [22:08] How do I use MusicBrainz thru Rhythmbox...? [22:08] magnetron, That's odd to hear, I'm using it w/ no problems atm. [22:08] Eyes only, I would love to have the pad recognise the stylus position relative to the tablet [22:09] i need to add some files to an iso how can i do that? The iso is not a bootable cd and i dont have the files to just remake the iso. I have tried mounting the iso as read/write and then copying the files in but that didnt work. [22:09] "NeroGage: you're gonna need to be root to edit that file.. sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" --- sudo means? It says I don't have access like he says. [22:09] lmosher, no you HAVE problems, since using compiz will wreck video with that driver, as YOU told ME [22:09] is there a SQL help chat? [22:09] ok so you need to calibrate? [22:09] hi, connection problems... [22:10] Tensei, best off asking directions in #freenode or #mysql [22:10] znh: thanks [22:10] NeroGage: type 'gksu /etc/X11/xorg.conf [22:10] Eyes`Only may i PM you? [22:10] dwhsix|laptop1: what have happened? [22:10] lmosher, don't tell me that there's no problem with your driver when you were the one coming HERE and asking why your video is sluggish. it's your driver.

I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 [22:12] magnetron, Uh, I was saying that compiz runs just fine on it's own, and that I turn it off if I need to run a fullscreen 3D app...

[22:13] hey anyone, I was wondering if it was possible to create a symlink that when clicked it also ran a mount command prior to following [22:13] lmosher, if video doesn't work when you are running compiz, then compiz doesn't work fine. video output is rather important. [22:13] Thanks ubottu!

[22:14] magnetron, What do you mean by video? As far as I know, you always have to disable compiz when using (most) fullscreen 3D apps.

[22:35] Hiya folks. I'm running Ubuntu in terminal mode, and tried to upgrade from gutsy to hardy with the standard commands: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. Lotsa stuff happened when I ran this. However, the system still says it's gutsy, and rerunning the commands tells me that everything is up to date. [22:36] magnetron: in order for me to get more leads on how to fix this: is there a way to figure out which driver is being used for wlan0 ? [22:36] i have a toshiba laptop X64 amd and atheros wifi and i heard that there is a patch for it to get it work to built ath0 does anyobe knows please? [22:36] adilson, right click and open with the "GDebi package installer" [22:36] I am having issues trying to install vmware-player on ubuntu 8.04 amd_64 edition , I have tried the following I have downloaded the vmware-player rpm file I have tried to run rpm -lvh VMware-player and it tells me the files not found I vmware package I have has a orange lock on the icon, I have tried to extract the files and for some reason the files didnt extract to the file system folders [22:37] cenobitis http://madwifi.org/ is the place for atheros info/drivers [22:37] lucas2_, "lsmod" will give you a list of all drivers that are in use [22:37] magnetron: will do now it wasnt installed, I told you it wasn't installed this is a bare minimum install, what i ahve is what i installed myself and nothing more [22:38] magnetron: I know. the list is two pages long. Is there a way to figure out which one is being used to generate /dev/wlan0 ? (faster than googling for 80 different drivernames) [22:38] adilson, the bare minimum install has the package installer! it doesn't have the *graphical* package installer, however, which wasn't what you were asking about [22:39] Here is a question someone might be able to answer is everything I want to install going to take me 2 hours to research and then fail on the start up [22:39] * nickrud tries to imagine a debian based install of any size without dpkg [22:39] adilson: sounds like it wasn't associated with .deb, but it was installed === Kalvan is now known as KevinO [22:39] I download de nvidia drivers from the website, when i try install but have a probleam with the x server, after that, i can shutdown x server but then he said that kernel dont match or something like that with drivers [22:39] AHA! it wouldn't be debian based!! [22:39] magnetron: Oh sorry shouldve been more specific than, my fault i apologise i wanted the gui version [22:39] anyone know whats happen? [22:39] Anyone know how to change the colors back to the original in XCHAT? My niece just messed up the colors severely [22:39] DrkSplash: probably. now get started! [22:40] Eyes`Only: the dpkg was installed but not the gui frontend which is what i wanted but shouldve been more specific in the explanation [22:40] ah eyes thanks [22:40] lucas2_, try "lsmod | grep wlan0". but my experience suggests that it may be an Atheros based card, though [22:40] BrandonS: view > color scheme [22:40] BrandonS try closing xchat, then mv ~/.xchat2/colors.conf ~/Desktop , and opening xchat again [22:40] magnetron: what drivername should I look for for a atheros card? [22:40] There is no color scheme in view [22:41] adilson: if you were able to right click and open with GDebi, then it was installed! [22:41] lucas2_, madwifi. [22:41] magnetron: not in the list :( [22:41] Eyes`Only: nah that wasnt installed gdebi just did installed it now [22:41] lucas2_, lsusb may give you info about your hardwre [22:41] adilson: ok my mistake then.. lines flow fast in here :P [22:42] Hi, Is there a way to change transparency of the title bar like Vista's Aero? [22:42] should I go with pci or usb for wifi card? [22:42] magnetron: hey that helped. My device is Bus005 Device 007: ID 050d:005c Belkin Components [22:43] lucas2_, ok, that Device ID uniquely specifies your make and model [22:43] Eyes`Only: i know how do ppl cope with it, i wonder if irc comes with health warning "warning, warning irc may deteriorate eyesight" [22:43] BrandonS success? [22:43] Yes [22:43] adilson, i should get a braille printer [22:43] * nickrud notes for later reference [22:44] adilson: hehe yeah, i'm used to irc but not this much activity at once.. gotta adapt [22:44] magnetron: huh? sorry didnt get that but yeha if you got the money why not thats is if it will be useful [22:44] New try ;) I'm running Ubuntu in terminal mode, and tried to upgrade from gutsy to hardy with the standard commands: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. Lotsa stuff happened when I ran this. However, the system still says it's gutsy, and rerunning the commands tells me that everything is up to date. [22:44] o/ [22:45] adilson, it's a device that output text by making patterns onto the fingertips [22:45] Has anybody had a similar problem? [22:45] Hovefirse did you change the sources to hardy? [22:45] Eyes`Only: thought evolution was a natural process its more like youre being forced to adapt to it [22:45] Hovefirse: did you reboot? [22:45] how do i disable the trash to delete things on command? [22:45] magnetron: funky is all i got to say to that never heard of it but kl, however how useful isit? [22:45] nickrud: Well, no - the above commands are the ones i ran. And yes, I did reboot. Twice [22:45] Hovefirse, no! you do NOT upgrade ubuntu correctly by running dist-upgrade! didn't you read the homepage? [22:46] Hovefirse: i think you need to do "do-release-update" or somthing. see !update [22:46] Hovefirse then in that case, run gksu do-release-upgrade [22:46] adilson, if your vision is impaired, it's very useful [22:46] magnetron: Bummer...I must have messed up then. I found the above on another homepage that sounded reliable' [22:46] magnetron: ooooh nice just reading on it right now in epiphany [22:47] * nickrud doesn't want to fix another dist-upgrade, it takes hours! [22:47] i've only upgraded using the alternate cd [22:47] !trash [22:47] The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [22:47] lucas are you running Hardy? [22:47] nickrud: Was that fore me ;) [22:47] is anyone in here good with Apache? [22:47] sd132 in nautilus, edit->prefs, behaviour: there's an enable delete [22:48] Hovefirse not in particular, but in general yes ;) [22:48] nickrud,thanks [22:48] I am trying to use another channel for something, and it won't let me send do channel. what do I do? [22:48] hi, might not be news, nut it seems packages.ubuntu.com is down since > 1 day [22:48] when i build a deb package under hardy,i've got this error: "dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: debian/application/usr/bin/application shouldn't be linked with libexpat.so.1 (it uses none of its symbols). it worked fine in gutsy/feisty [22:48] !register | mupo (may require you to register first) [22:48] mupo (may require you to register first): Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

[22:49] magnetron: nice this site is quite good at explaning it http://www.brailler.com/shop.htm always wanted to learn to read like that as well as sign language and lip read still havent started any of these tasks [22:49] Hovefirse since you just did an upgrade (bring yourself up to date in gutsy) run gksu do-release-upgrade , it'll walk you through [22:49] !nautilus [22:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about nautilus [22:49] any hints on packages.ubuntu.com ? [22:49] Hi! Is there any GUI-frontend for gnuplot in Ubuntu repositories? === asddasda is now known as admiral [22:49] phaidros yep, it's down :) [22:49] nickrud: OK, thx! [22:50] Hi! Is there any GUI-frontend for gnuplot in Ubuntu repositories? [22:50] nickrud: :p [22:50] nickrud: is there a mirror somewhere else? [22:50] I have a question for all of my friends here at #ubuntu how good or bad is the ati driver for hardy? I have a 9600xt and would like to play a few games. [22:50] mmm...i'm running in command line mode...no window environment. gksu do-release-upgra sez (gksu:5977): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: [22:50] phaidros not that I know of. [22:50] nickrud: thx [22:50] How come my screen randomly flashes black sometimes [22:50] Hovefirse: You need to use update-manager-core [22:51] Hi! Is there any GUI-frontend for gnuplot in Ubuntu repositories? [22:51] Hovefirse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades#Network%20upgrade%20for%20Ubuntu%20servers%20(recommended) [22:51] hi im following the tutorial for instaling firefox32bit on 64bit hardy, they ask to download the tar.gz. but all i found was the tar.bz2 and I have no idea how to unzip it since the way the tutorial says to do it doesn't work with this type [22:51] now thats a bummer ive got no sound, just checked sound settings and nothing is there no options are available :/ ... so now how do i install sound modules? [22:51] How come my screen randomly flashes black sometimes [22:51] hi everybody [22:51] hi guys, my Hardy machine freezes for 2-15 seconds periodically. The machine worked great with Edgy, Fiesty, and Gutsy (clean install each time) but due for a hardware upgrade. Now it has a new CPU, motherboard (different chipset), RAM, and a new clean install of Hardy. Same problem. [22:52] adilson: well, a start would be to see how lspci identifies your sound device [22:52] periodically = every few minutes [22:53] the freeze affects everything - desktop, mouse, ssh sessions into the box, etc. The freeze usually lasts around 10 seconds [22:53] GOTFrogqc: it says tar zxvf right? change the z to a j [22:53] IndyGunFreak: normally i would have sound if this was a normal install but yeah should i paste the command you gave me in pastebin? [22:53] Hi! Is there any GUI-frontend for gnuplot in Ubuntu repositories? [22:53] Flannel: thx alot [22:53] adilson: if you want, run lspci in a terminal and then pastebin the output [22:53] My screen randomly flashes black can someone tell me why [22:54] magnetron: While trying to get the wifi to work, I managed to remove the network info from the right top of the screen. Do you happen to know where I could look to find it agian? [22:54] hello [22:54] IndyGunFreak: http://pastebin.ca/1091970 from there what should i do? [22:55] OK, did a "sudo do-release-upgrade" and at least something is happening...! Exciting night ahead ;) [22:55] anyone watch satellite TV on Linux here? [22:55] Hi! Is there any GUI-frontend for gnuplot in Ubuntu repositories? [22:55] is there anyway to avoid a distribution upgrade after installing gutsy? i just installed gutsy and i believe its forcing a upgrade to hardy [22:56] Neogi: #mythtv-users === tolecnal_ is now known as tolecnal [22:56] oooooooh, thanks :) [22:56] lucas2_, you need to both have network-manager-applet running, and add a notificiation area to the panel [22:56] critable: it won't force you (although it might nag you) [22:56] thank you Flannel [22:56] adilson: what version of ubuntu are you using? [22:56] andrei i have no idea myself, could you provide more specific info. that might help [22:57] is there a way to play encrypted dvd's on ubuntu x64? [22:57] Anonizmous: if you're needing a graphing calc or something like that then you can use Lybniz. It's pretty good. [22:57] i keep getting an error that i don't have libdvdcss, and i don't think ther is a 64 bit version [22:57] critable: You should beable to turn off the nagging too. Somewhere in software sources? I don't remember honestly [22:57] IndyGunFreak: 8.04 bare minimum install with x running icewm [22:57] hmm, well you're not the only one with thisproblem. [22:58] adilson: i take it sound works w/ a normal install? [22:58] IndyGunFreak: yup [22:58] anyone here use hardy's ati driver, how is it? [22:58] preston: good [22:58] adilson: try google or maybe asking on the ubuntu forum, i really don't know, here's your sound device thoguh.. # [22:58] 00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] AC'97 Sound Controller (rev a0) [22:58] Flannel: i just did a system update via the update-notifier, and its telling me i'm doing a partial upgrade. i however didn't choose to upgrade to hardy, is that whats it doing? i did not select the "upgrade to Hardy LTS" but simply updated my system and am unsure what its doing exactly [22:59] preston: better is the one from ati-website [22:59] alraune: no watermarks or funky performance [22:59] IndyGunFreak: yeah i know that just hoped you knew the packages i needed to get sound working i might not even have alsa... which shouldve been the first thing to check and pulseaudio [22:59] alraune: i havent tried it but what about envy? [23:00] probably.. [23:00] preston: the one from ati-website ? | envy works also, what a card ? [23:00] Hi, when update manager updates kernel headers... should i uninstall propietary drivers and then install it or it's okay ? [23:00] !envy | preston [23:00] preston: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [23:00] *ask me for update [23:00] alraune: 9600xt, its a oldie [23:01] preston: checked ati-website ? [23:01] alraune: i havent, how hard is it to install? [23:02] Flannel: Before upgrading kernel-headers do i need to uninstall propietary drivers? [23:02] what packages do i need to add to get sound on a bare minimum install? at the moment ive got alsa-base and alsa-utils installed, what else do i need? [23:02] preston: will look it up, wait [23:02] !ati | preston [23:02] preston: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [23:02] adilson: alsa-base should cover you. === Charitwo is now known as u [23:02] histo: its not covering me ive got no sound [23:03] adilson: well fire up alsamixer and see if anything is muted. [23:03] adilson: and what are you trying to see if you have sound? [23:03] preston: 386 or 64 bit ? [23:03] alraune: 386 [23:03] histo: I cnat select sounds types in the sound menu the drop down boxes are all empty but will install alsamixer just for the sake of it [23:03] debCarlos: it didn't work [23:04] adilson: ? [23:04] hi [23:04] histo: hmmm youtube? [23:04] debCarlos: but, just FYI, if you're interested, it seems like a hardware problem [23:04] LordLandon: oh... [23:04] !hi | gokorn [23:04] gokorn: Hi!

[23:12] preston: yam yam... see in 40 min, maybe... [23:12] _empa_: are yo using teh ose version from the repos? [23:12] hyestan, where are you creating this job? [23:12] <_empa_> hmm, can't remember [23:12] I have installed Istanbul, I can click the icon to start recording, but at this point in time I think the application freezes. I can't close it, I can't click it again to stop recording. The only way to exit it is to kill it through a terminal. Any input would be helpful. [23:12] _empa_: well dpkg -l | grep virtualbox [23:12] preston: I'll take over foralraune in the meantime. Are you trying to install the ATI proprietary drivers or what? [23:12] _empa_: what does that return [23:12] ok i tried unrar e file-name.part1.rar [23:13] and i think it works [23:13] norbi: try gtk-recordmydesktop instead of istanbul. it is more reeliable [23:13] *reliable [23:13] * chalcedony smiles [23:13] I'm trying to help chalcedony with her sound - but to my astonishment she doesn't have 'alsaconf'.

[23:13] <_empa_> histo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/33795/ [23:13] norbi: yeah I noticed istanbul was very buggy as well. Depends if compiz is enabled etc.... [23:13] magnetron: my device shows up in lshw, however the configuration: line does not contain a driver= entry. Does that mean I do not have a properly configured driver? [23:13] (((((((( Run )))))))))))) [23:14] anyone have problems with sshfs or know an alternative way to mount ssh as a file system , sshfs creates a mount that disagrees with /etc/mtab [23:14] I meant /usr/sbin/alsaconf [23:14] Does that not exist?

[23:14] _empa_: okay looks like you removed the one from the repos which is good. And installed the deb from the website. The one in the repos doesn't support usb. [23:14] popey: Will that software record a specific window? Or the entire desktop? This is an important feature. [23:15] ok, I did the shutdaown and disk check thing, no errors but got this: "intel_rng FWH not detected" [23:15] Blaqlight: I had her do: apt-file update; apt-file search alsaconf, and it doesn't return alsa-utils ... what is going on here?

Getting usb to work shouldnt' be a problem. [23:15] Run, you probably also need apt-get update first [23:15] blaqlight ... how is that possible? [23:15] histo: Thanks, no compiz is not enabled. Really weird, I don't notice a frame rate drop either, so I question if it is actually starting to record. Couldn't find any doc on where it puts the videos, would you know? [23:15] Run, sudo updatedb then locate alsaconf [23:16] <_empa_> histo: i have enabled usb support. the problem is that i don't think ubuntu itself rexognize the tomtom so it passes the correct information to virtualbox [23:16] Okay.. This VrtualBox OSE crashed my computer.. its in safemode now.. How do I remove it? Please help.. [23:16] preston: like what?

[23:16] norbi: the program is very buggy though. [23:16] so any ideas what could cause this?

[23:55] chalcedony: Aparently, ubuntu has it's own sound config methods; I'm not familiar with them, so I can't help you :/ [23:56] soundray: Which package have the screenlets? [23:56] VexiK: hrm... alright well when the machine is booting you can hit esc while grub is loading. Then select recovery mode to get to a terminl [23:56] Run: OUCH [23:56] debCarlos: when they go through the roof. You'll know within a couple of days of using your machine what the normal range is [23:56] no worries i fixe it i installed the dev headers [23:56] Run you're the BEST [23:56] histo VexiK its CTRL ALT F1 -F6 [23:56] Blaqlight: I know [23:56] debCarlos: don't know [23:57] well I know for sure CTRL+ALT+F1 didn't work [23:57] Run: the basic client configuration can't be that different [23:57] VexiK: what ati driver did you install and how did you install it? That is most likely your problem. [23:57] Uhm [23:57] Run it's still alsa per the soundcard i have [23:57] soundray: Ok [23:57] !screenlets [23:57] Screenlets are little widgets for your !desktop.

[23:57] chalcedony: going to part here.. [23:57] I think I must be doing something wrong then [23:58] i'm dual-booted windows XP & ubuntu, but never use the windows partition.. however, there is one program i would like to use that doesn't work in wine... does anyone know if i can access my windows partition as a virtual machine in ubuntu? [23:58] how do i configure ubuntu for a bridge connection [23:58] VexiK: no Blaqlight is confused your system locked up probably due to the wrong video driver being installed. [23:58] soundray: Therm1 at 50 and therm 2 at 54... still normal? [23:58] bazookatooth, have you checked for similar programs in ubuntu? [23:58] its a game.. [23:59] well it was Ubuntu that made me install the driver [23:59] debCarlos: yes. If a fan fails or something like that, they'll go way up [23:59] bazookatooth: you can but playin a game in a vm won't work too well. [23:59] bazookatooth: what game is it? [23:59] I got a dialog box showing something about the ATi drivers [23:59] Blaqlight: how? I've tried on several occasions, it greys everything if you click on an active partition [23:59] magic online [23:59] histo not confused misinformed... [23:59] VexiK: ahh the restricted drivers. [23:59] Blaqlight: confused/misinformed all the same. [23:59] can anyone help me out using a wiimote as a mouse?, so far I can use buttons, but how am I supposed to plug the sensors bar to my PC? [23:59] soundray: And when a fan fails... what should i do? Will it recover himself or i have to go to HP ? [23:59] VexiK: well you need to boot the system in to recovery mode so you can remove them. [23:59] it should work fine, its a really good laptop and the program isnt too hardware intensive.. i used to do it on my much lesser powered macbook w/ vmware all the time [23:59] bazookatooth-> you can try virtualbox to have xp as guest
