[00:00] AndyB: does it say that in the docs? [00:00] filthpig: ok, it's working. If your determiniation of brokenness is that compiz doesn't work, that's because ubuntu has blacklisted all laptops using the open source ati driver [00:00] linxeh: Thats what it says in the docs for debian which is the closest thing i can find. [00:00] AndyB, i am not sure 'deb' is a valid target to make - especially if the source is from the author directly [00:00] linxeh: trying to compile amsn source :( new to linux [00:00] hang on then [00:00] crdlb, ah. ;) Why Serious performance issues or smth? [00:01] AndyB: I'm getting it now [00:01] filthpig: no, some mobile r300 models are very unstable with compiz, so they just blocked them all [00:01] heh, okay [00:02] filthpig: you can easily override this blacklist; join #compiz-fusion for details [00:02] from what I remember I didn't have any trouble here with gutsy [00:02] looking to uninstall ubuntu...however cant get the dvd-rom to boot.. [00:02] linxeh: Ok :) http://amsn-project.net/wiki/Compiling_aMSN#Debian_Based Thats the file that im following [00:02] filthpig: the _vast_ majority of them are just fine [00:02] yeah, I'm on http://www.amsn-project.net/wiki/SVN [00:03] :) [00:03] Odd question, does Firefox-3 have a Tools->Options menu for everybody else?

I think it's a source list thing.. but I'm lost :\ [00:04] DjViper: hmm... so it's not just me. I've been there but I seem to be missing where I'd configure my proxy. [00:04] AndyB: dum de dum, checking out the code still [00:05] linxeh: No prob there is no hurry im just glad your helping:) [00:05] kibab: it's system specific for linux [00:05] in ff3 for windows it's under where you said [00:05] bit weird, but it has to do with consistency etc [00:05] unop: that got it, thanks :) [00:06] DjViper: hmm.. I don't remember how I did it, but I had no problem doing that with FF2 [00:06] AndyB: why do you need the latest svn version btw ? === froosch is now known as ^ [00:07] DjViper: found it (finally)...

[00:08] kibab: yep, I tried to tell you heh ;-) [00:08] AndyB: ok, and what error do you get with make deb ? [00:08] kibab: just set it in System > Preferences > Network Proxy [00:09] that way it will work for all apps [00:09] /dev/sda is not created anymore, what can cause this? [00:09] linxeh: make: *** No rule to make target `deb'. Stop. [00:10] AndyB: ok, and configure worked properly? no errors ?

[00:19] I'm looking for some advice / help selecting the right email client to use. I'm currently using thunderbird, but it really sucks with messages that have large attachments, often freezes. A second problem I have is that it doesn't actually delete messages. You can open the file and find all your old messages. So, these two issues really are the reason I want to switch. I was wondering about syphleed or maybe evolution... or m [00:19] is there an audio mixer in ubuntu where i can control my bass, treable and all of that great stuff? [00:20] ArthurArchnix, i use evolution and it does everything i need it to do [00:20] ArthurArchnix, i like Evolution very well! That messages are not deleted might be caused by IMAP feature! Try to use POP3 instead [00:20] Wow I just installed icewm and I really like it [00:21] how do I find out if i'm running 32 or 64 bit ubuntu? [00:22] abyss_: hmm... good thought, but I use pop exclusively. Thunderbird keeps all its information in one file. If you look in your profile directory, then open the inbox file, and tell it to use text editor to open, you'll be able to read emails from a long time ago, that you thought you had deleted. At least, that's my experience and like I said, a big part of the reason I want to ditch it. [00:23] But maybe it's just corrupted and I just need to start clean? I don't know.. I've never had anyone confirm that this is a fact of the program and not a problem with my setup [00:23] from inside Thunderbird, try compressing your inbox folder... [00:23] is bazhang in the house!? [00:24] zonkers: dpkg --print-architecture [00:24] Hey could someone tell me how I get my resolution back? I had it at 1440x900 I think, and somehow it put itself at 1280x768 :( How do I fix this? My 1440x900 isn't even listed on the resolutions. === Chowder is now known as Guest27213 [00:24] ArthurArchnix, better use Evolution im my opinion its a smart and fast email client [00:24] i lik evolution [00:24] Does anyone here use ad-hoc networks?

[00:24] w00t [00:24] thank you Mecha25 [00:24] i love you [00:24] haha [00:25] DjViper: Not that I know of.. I set my updates to automatically download & install..

[00:28] hiptobecubic, you want to make an adhoc network? [00:28] <_Zeus_> do you mean to say that your install is messed up? [00:28] Erick|Laptop: double click the sound icon; then Edit->preferences [00:28] whats the best open source spam filter you can get? [00:29] <_Zeus_> i use spamassassin [00:29] hwilde, yeah i'm having no luck at all [00:29] hiptobecubic, hold on I have those commands somewheres [00:29] Erick|Laptop: in that menu, activate bass and treble controls [00:29] morbyt1, doesnt show me anything about bass control [00:29] i dont have those controls [00:29] hwilde, that would be lovely [00:30] Erick|Laptop: maybe it needs to be supported by the soundcard. but i dont know [00:30] hiptobecubic, iwconfig ath0 essid blahblah mode ad-hoc key off [00:30] hiptobecubic, where blahblah is your ssid [00:30] ok, thanks morbyt1 [00:30] hiptobecubic, or you could put in a wep key at the end there [00:30] _Zeus_ : I have an microsoft exchange environment with about 200 users, I will need to dedicate a box and install ubuntu/debian primarily running Spamassassin yes?

[00:31] cplx, lol are you insane buy a barracuda filter [00:31] abyss_: ages ago (like 1998 time) I used ISDN on linux, have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IsdnHowto [00:31] Erick|Laptop: maybe your media player supports equalizing... [00:31] Blaqlight, if you google that theres plenty of tutorials [00:31] beer [00:31] cplx: you can probably get spamassassin running on the exchange machine... [00:31] cplx: http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/InstallingOnWindows [00:32] hwilde, ok i'll try thanks [00:32] hwilde, I know that, none address this problem correctly. [00:32] hiptobecubic, to undo it's mode managed [00:33] cplx: but tbh I'd look at MessageLabs or similar [00:33] cplx: cloudmark is very good fwiw, but again not free (but then none of the free solutions work that well, they can't really) [00:34] hi everybody [00:34] hello [00:34] hi [00:35] anyone know a fix for skydomes not sohwing up in compiz-fusion? [00:35] linxeh: its a temporary solution, I have a spare box that I can dedicated to spamassassin [00:35] but ya [00:35] anyone knows how to update nvidia restricted drivers? I had it installed automaticaly when I installed ubuntu but they have a new version now [00:35] update-grub says it can't resolve 'UUID=62a443-43434d422-a34444-223-xxx' - is there any way to fix this? [00:35] cplx: how do you get mail delivered to the exchange box atm? [00:36] linxeh: straight from the MX to the exchange box (no filtering) - has only been in place for a few days [00:36] cplx: yuck ;-) [00:37] cplx: its probably worth having a mail spool box anyway which just accepts everything for that domain then does spam labelling and smtp forwarding to the exchange box. I hate seeing exchange on the internet :o [00:37] timte: checked that UUID against those outputted from "sudo blkid" yet ? [00:37] I'm sorry the question ... [00:38] anto9us, you still kickin? [00:38] glitsj16: yes, it looks correct [00:38] tv_: a) never change a running system. b) i think envyng is what youre looking for [00:38] but someone knows how to hide the /home/username todont know the username ... [00:38] :x [00:38] ok, i got putty setup to tunnel ssh i think [00:38] billybigrigger, just about [00:38] anto9us, how do i tell if i have putty setup correctly? [00:38] i've logged in [00:38] billybigrigger, connect locally with vnc [00:39] anyone know a fix for skydomes not showing up in compiz-fusion? [00:39] k brb [00:39] billybigrigger, don't do anything in the putty terminal now, there's no need [00:39] glitsj16: and fsck doesn't find any errors [00:39] tv_: i used envyng together with a custom kernel, but iirc it works with prepacked kernels too [00:39] hrmm [00:39] morbit1: thanks for the good advice :) but I hope it will fix a slight problem I have with compiz [00:39] timte: odd indeed [00:39] anto9us, ok well i guess it worked [00:39] billybigrigger, vnc should be quick and smooth now [00:39] Hi...I'm having trouble connecting to my wireless (from a router). (Intel PRO/wireless 3945ABG)...It sees the networks, but won't connect. I have tried MANY things, to no avail...Help? [00:40] glitsj16: tell me about it :/ [00:40] anto9us, its sort of quick [00:40] anto9us, better ig uess [00:41] could be faster [00:41] timte: i would if i had any ideas on what might be causing this .. nothinh yet [00:41] hwilde, when i try to set mode ad-hoc i get error "Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : SET failed on device ath0 ; Invalid argument." [00:41] billybigrigger, you can tweak some of the settings when you run your vncserver, you can kill the current one and retry without having to re-run putty, just leave that sat there [00:42] glitsj16: you know of a command that takes a uuid and checks wether it's valid? [00:42] so that putty connection is an open tunnel? [00:42] billybigrigger, yes [00:42] and it will stay open until i close putty? [00:43] hi agn all , i just updated my intel gma 950 driver, and now my resolution went from 1280*800 to 800*600, do i have to reconfigure something? Im using Hardy [00:43] billybigrigger, yes [00:43] !tell eko1 compiz [00:43] morbyt1: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:43] timte: besides the compare UUID's from sudo blkid to what's inside /etc/fstab not really no [00:43] so is \ [00:43] tell eko1 compiz [00:43] hi [00:43] glitsj16: ok, thanks anyway [00:43] hmpf [00:44] billybigrigger, it's also very good for forwarding other services, almost anything in fact, if I have just one port open on a router into a network, ssh is it [00:44] hiptobecubic, you are root? ifconfig ath0 down; ifconfig ath0 up; ifconfig ath0 mode ad-hoc [00:44] how do i do ls, but find out how large each of the directories each are? [00:44] helo [00:44] nym, i tend to use the 'du' command for that. [00:44] ok so on my firewall the only open port i need to have is 22? [00:44] nym: don't use ls, use du -h [00:45] thank you [00:45] like open to the rest of the internet, so i can ssh in from anywhere [00:45] every other port can be closed on my firewall? [00:45] billybigrigger, yes, you can map any other services over it, unless you want to run an email server, then you'll also need to open smtp (25) [00:45] hwilde, still getting 'invalid argument' [00:45] yeah, i dont need an email server [00:45] how can i see if i have mysql-server libdbd-mysql-perl installed on a remote server that doesnt have apt-get [00:45] hiptobecubic, /join #madwifi [00:46] nym: sort by size taken: du -k | sort -nr [00:46] ok, so how do i tweak this vnc4server to make it faster???? [00:46] hwilde, ok [00:46] hi [00:46] can someone help me connect to the internet with ubuntu [00:46] !compiz [00:46] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [00:46] billybigrigger, I suggest trial and error, I don't actually use it that much :) [00:46] billybigrigger, use a lighter/minimal desktop, reduce the # of colors the vncdesktop is displaying, no wallpaper. hmm. thats about it. [00:46] linxeh: so mx points to the spamassassin box, then spamassassin forward to the exchange box - yerp? [00:46] anyone know if there is a ubuntu video help area? [00:47] c1rcuit, what kind of connection do you use? wired or wireless? [00:47] Dr_willis, so theres nothing serverside/clientside i can tweak? [00:47] wireless [00:47] c1rcuit, what wireless card are you using? [00:47] standard linksys [00:48] billybigrigger, err... serverside/clientside - is BOTH sides.. :) So you have to tweak it somewhere.. You can set the vncserver to only display a set # of colors - like 16bit depth, or you could run a ver light desktop like jwm. [00:48] wireless card [00:48] Dr_willis, i think i have depth=16 [00:48] billybigrigger, some vncservers have specific compression options and other optiosn that may help also. [00:48] Dr_willis, are you familiar with vnc4server? [00:49] billybigrigger, when i run vncservers, i tend to use jwm as the desktop they display. On a local lan here. its veryuseable. [00:49] Good evening all (at leaste in GMT -4) [00:49] billybigrigger, thats the one i tend to use. I set up the users .vnc/xstartup to run jwm. and a few other things.. and thats about it. i DONT use gnome/kde with vnc. [00:49] what command do i use to get opertaing system version info? [00:49] hmmm....ok [00:49] Kevino uname -a [00:49] ty [00:50] cwukk747 [00:50] cwill747 [00:50] so do you have a howto kicking around on using jwm, i have gdm and gnome setup for my vnc [00:50] imusing a linksys [00:50] c1rcuit, yeah i saw, i'm trying to think of what's wrong [00:50] c1rcuit, did you have to install drivers for it? [00:50] I have a really fun story for everyone [00:50] billybigrigger, i set up the users .vnc/xstartup to spawn that specific users desktopp when they run vncserver, i do not run vncserver as a 'system service' it does not display gdm for me [00:51] no i actually just started with ubuntu [00:51] i just plugged it in [00:51] what version of ubuntu will support the atheros wifi chipset ? [00:51] ahhh, yeah i have it set to used xinetd with gdm [00:51] ubotu, tell c1rcuit about wifi [00:51] I'm using dpkg --ignore-depends [00:51] or not... [00:52] billybigrigger, well you proberly dont 'have' to. :) you can always ssh in and run 'vncserver' - There are ways to make that xinted/vnc stuff do differnt things also. [00:52] so I jast redid a fresh install of ubuntu ( I previously had 8.4.1 but decided to redo it for partitioning and cleanliness sake) [00:52] billybigrigger, you can set the number of colours and the compression methods and levels [00:52] billybigrigger, i find the 'xinetd' spawning - losses one of the best features of vnc. the 'desktop keeps running after you disconect' feature. [00:52] !tell c1rcuit about wifi [00:52] c1rcuit, please see my private message [00:52] Do you have to reconfigure anything if you update Intel Graphic Drivers? Im stuck at 800*600 now after an update. [00:53] Is there a command in Linux that lets me do something like this (made up): virtualmemory --show-only-this-much-mb-memory=512 --command=wine (wine will be tricked into believing that there is only 512MB ram on the system, instead of ex: 8GB as it really is) [00:54] I'm using dpkg -i --ignore-depends=package1 package2 to install an older package2. And package2 works fine. However, when try to install anything else, they fail because package2 has unmet dependency packagee1. How can I get Ubuntu to _really_ ignore this dependency? [00:54] Is there any way to change how loud my maxiumum volume goes? I have an annoying problem with some applications being too quiet despite having my volume everywhere else be about to the max.

[01:00] jicstc: oops :) [01:00] later folks [01:00] !tell AAGG about wifi [01:00] AAGG, please see my private message [01:00] jicstc: you could quit thunderbird and delete the outbox I guess [01:01] funny thing happened when i installed Deluge yesterday it was the first time i download off of it and i was getting great speed even this morning when i came back this afternoon. somehow my internet was gone for like half an hour and then i logged back in to see ifmy deluge will still go any fast [01:01] I am talking everytihg from firefox to amarok to the whole darn xserver blowing up randomly [01:01] yesterday iwas downloading amazingly 100kb speed [01:01] and this morning haha [01:01] but now its like 3 kb [01:01] moose_: 100kb or 100KB ? [01:01] it wont let me delete as it wants to "find message 54" first in the queue [01:01] 100KB [01:01] eagle_02 what all have you installed manually or from unsupported repos or websites [01:01] moose_: you cant get 100KB on 512kbit... [01:01] yea after today when my internet went out [01:01] i was getting [01:02] 100 KB yesterday thats what im saying [01:02] but you can't - it is impossible [01:02] i mean 100kb not KB [01:02] umm.. let me think, what do you mean. I used envyng but then uninstalled it after it started sploding [01:02] 100 kilobytes per seccond [01:02] honest to god. that was my speed [01:02] you cant get that on 512kbit broadband [01:02] CRASH69: if that don't work, check your tcl and tk version, if it's 4.0 then you need the amsn for tk4.0 generic installer, if not, you need the tk5.0 installer, you may have missed this particular detail (happened to me at first :P) [01:02] its impossible [01:02] yesterday night andmornging [01:03] moose_: and that is with how many peers? [01:03] honest to god === mike is now known as Guest60172 [01:03] ahan [01:03] i was connected to like 20 seeds and 8 peers on deluge [01:03] the tracker was good [01:03] too [01:03] moose_: dont bring mythical beings into this - you can't get 100kbyte/sec from 512kbit/sec broadband - 512/8 != 100 [01:03] i bought this from ebay, and the seller is telling it does not work with HP notebooks; is mini pci not mini pci? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170244127257&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123 [01:04] i swear to god man [01:04] LinuxIST: there are lots of PCI, PCIX, PCIe cards that wont work in different vendor machines either [01:04] Is there a command in Linux that lets me do something like this (made up): virtualmemory --show-only-this-much-mb-memory=512 --command=wine (wine will be tricked into believing that there is only 512MB ram on the system, instead of ex: 8GB as it really is) [01:04] thats what i was getting yesterday [01:04] it was like average spped [01:04] can someone help me connect to the internet [01:04] please [01:04] i cant uncheck irda-utils upgrade it is always checked and it wont install also, if i want to install some other package than irda-utils it stuck on irda-utils [01:04] it wasnt like 100 kb constant u know it would fluctuate to like 90 actually it was average around 115kb!!!! [01:04] SlimG try /join #winehq [01:04] i was like wholy shit [01:04] LinuxIST, some 'laptop' vendors have some sort of blacklist featuer in the bios also. where only specific cards will work. (or so i hear) [01:05] can someone help me connect to the internet [01:05] c1rcuit: how do you connect to internet, DSL [01:05] could it be possible that ISP providers know when you are downloading at that speed? [01:05] c1rcuit, the link i showed you has a list of many wireless cards and in-depth how-to's on how to use them [01:05] c1rcuit, describe your problem, [01:05] Jack_Sparrow: Wine doesn't seem to have that feature, so this isnt really wine-related [01:05] when i download like fiels like the other day i was downloading the UBUNTU ISO image i was able to download that in 1 and a half our [01:06] c1rcuit err, sorry diodnt know you were alredy helped by cwill747 [01:06] !wifi > c1rcuit [01:06] c1rcuit, please see my private message [01:06] hes gone [01:06] oh [01:06] i know this is ubuntu channel but does anyone know adobe flash i can pm a question to? [01:06] SlimG It is about setting up an environ for wine correct? [01:06] i filtered join / leave messages haha [01:07] jeez what a pus... shoot i didnt make a big deal having to wait [01:07] i cant uncheck irda-utils upgrade it is always checked and it wont install also, if i want to install some other package than irda-utils it stuck on irda-utils [01:07] Jack_Sparrow, I have actualy reinstalled the whole OS a few times over this last time the most sucsessfull (I got a full afternoon before everything started exploding) then just like before (when I used the old Ubuntu 7.10 CD and upgraded it starting killing apps seemingly for giggles) [01:07] hey, i just installed some updates but now evolution will not let me send/receive mail! eek! any ideas? [01:07] Jack_Sparrow: nope it's about tricking wine (or any other linux app) into thinking there is less memory on the system than it really is [01:08] roxygirl: check your account settings [01:08] eagle_02 Please pastebin and post your sources list. HAve you ever tried automatix in the past? [01:08] the only thing I can think of that keeps breaking ti is the nvidia driver but I hade 8.4.1 installed with the nvidia driver on the same machine just last week [01:09] !automatix [01:09] Automatix is no longer developed or supported by its creators and is not recommended, supported, or needed by Ubuntu. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubottu WorksForMe » [01:09] i cant uncheck irda-utils upgrade it is always checked and it wont install also, if i want to install some other package than irda-utils it stuck on irda-utils [01:09] I have, and was not impressed [01:09] if i have ubuntu using my whole drive, how do i install windows on it [01:09] eagle_02, try just running with the 'nv' driver. not the 'nvidia' driver? [01:09] RyanPrior I am aware of that fact.. thanks [01:09] nv driver hmm... never heard of it [01:09] daggerx: Gparted will help you there to make a new partition for windows [01:09] eagle_02 that could be the reason you are having problems [01:09] I will make the machine stop chekcing its ram and do that [01:10] where would I find the nv driver? [01:10] ok, is it under add remove? [01:10] Dr_willis, whats wrong with leaving the session open? its good i guess if im downloading a file a loose internet connection it still stays open right? [01:10] Tokie240: they are the same, no changes. i connect to the net for internet browser and downloading, but evolution doesn't let me send/receive...somehow not recognizing connection [01:10] hang on "that cold be the reason I am having problems" what is this that you speak of [01:10] could* [01:10] eagle_02 yes [01:11] can any body here try to help me ? [01:11] ernad please do not pm me, just ask your question in here. Thanks [01:11] what? [01:11] yes? [01:11] daggerx, you can use sudo apt-get install gparted [01:11] hey people [01:11] eagle_02 Please pastebin and post your sources list. HAve you ever tried automatix in the past? [01:11] on deluge [01:11] what would be a best port to go on [01:11] i asking,,, but nobody answer here on public [01:11] billybigrigger, I leave vncsessions open for weeks/months at a time. but by launching the vncserver with xinetd. if you close the client. that will close the session. My 'ssh in and start vncserver manually' method leaves the session runnign even if you close the client. [01:11] what is pastebin? [01:11] i think that my ISP detected torrent trafficing?? [01:11] !paste [01:11] 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) [01:11] thank you [01:11] roxygirl: hmm have you tried going back to the old version or perhaps reinstalling then. [01:11] moose_, i would not be suprised. [01:11] i cant uncheck irda-utils upgrade it is always checked and it wont install also, if i want to install some other package than irda-utils it stuck on irda-utils [01:11] Can anyone tell me whymy wife's wireless network only has WPA2-personal [01:12] I have not run automatix on this install [01:12] not wpa-personal or anything else? [01:12] Dr_willis, oh, so using xinetd just leaves the session resumable, not open [01:12] not update but upgrade [01:12] eagle_02 I thought you said it was an upgrade [01:12] billybigrigger, not really 'resumeable' it will spawn them as needed. thats not resumung anything at all. [01:12] tokie240: can i somehow rollback the updates i just did? [01:12] Dr_willis so what should i do? is there any other bit torrect client that has encryption enabled? [01:12] billybigrigger, it just makes them easier to launch. [01:12] daggerx: Gparted's a livecd http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ grab a copy here [01:13] moose_, most of them have encryption I thought. I tend to enable enc. and throttle things down.. Expecially throttle down the uploads. === benzs_s is now known as benzss [01:13] Dr_willis, well maybe you should write a howto on your method as i would prefer to leave my sessions open while im away at work and whatnot [01:13] Anyone know how I can use wpa-personal for my wireless encryption? For some reason it only lists WPA2-personal. [01:13] u know what i think my internet got down today [01:13] does cleartype exist on ubuntu? running gutsy i believe [01:13] billybigrigger, my methiod... 'ssh remotemachine' 'vncserver' , run vncclient, connect.... close ssh session... vncsession stays running. [01:14] i installed, where to i go to execute it and start making the changes and stuff [01:14] billybigrigger, its how vncserver stuff was 'originally' done. :) basically [01:14] i think they tried to reset my internet service or throttled it so that i cant download anything [01:14] juano__: tk8.5, and tcl (it doesnt say anymore), tcl8.4, and tcl8.5 [01:14] wholy shit i think i solved my problem [01:14] moose_, a lot can depend on the specifc torrents ive noticed. [01:15] Can someone help me get 3D acceleration working on my i915? When I did 'glxinfo | grep rendering', it said "direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)". After I set LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose and tried it again, it said the EXACT SAME THING. [01:15] CRASH69: what ever you have, 8.5 or 8.4 must match the amsn installer [01:15] Dr_willis yea im changing my ports [01:15] peoples i cant uncheck upgrade irda-utils, i have made upgrade to my system, everything is upgraded, only irda-utils are not because of some problem with installation, i dont care for irda-utils package i just want to remove that package,,, if i try to install any other package i cant because of irda-utils it start to install irda-utils then stuck [01:15] roxygirl: http://www.gnome.org/projects/evolution/download.shtml stable release on top 2.22 [01:15] plus waiting on more peers to connect too [01:15] moose_, i tend to let the clients use 'random' ports. :) [01:15] im only connected to 2 peers as of rite now hehe [01:15] so that is expected [01:16] yea man cuz i got 100 kb yesterday night on my 512kb download speed [01:16] GOD BLESS UBUNTU [01:16] Toke240: thanks [01:17] CRASH69: for example, if you have tcl 8.5 then you need amsn installer generic for tcl 8.5 [01:17] juano__: sorry you lost me, I just did add/remove amsn form the menu, it was working 8 hours ago [01:17] daggerx: did you do sudo or did you download the livecd,with apt-get you cant do what you want to do cause Gparted cant do anything while ubuntu is loaded. the livecd you have to boot with then you can chop you're partition since ubuntu isnt loaded yet [01:17] and that is it nobody can help me [01:17] ernad you can remove with apt-install remove irda-utils [01:18] roxygirl:no problem and good luck [01:18] !patience | ernad [01:18] ernad: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [01:18] CRASH69: ahh.. cause you have a link to download the generic installer [01:18] CRASH69: what version of amsn are you using? [01:18] 0,97 [01:18] türk varmı hic [01:18] juan 0.97 [01:18] !turkish [01:18] Turk ubuntu kullanıcıları, Türkçe yardım ya da geyik için #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde. [01:18] anyway thanks :) [01:19] juano__: 0.97 [01:19] installed it , didn't do a live cd - [01:19] anyone know how to enable /dev/rfcomm1 to /dev/modem [01:19] can somebody tell me a good website that listsl all the graphic cards compatible with UBUNTU hardy heron im planning on buying a laptop and was wondering if ATI radeon whould be a good choice if iwant compiz fusion and all the eye candy stuff [01:19] CRASH69: as i thought.. 0.97 is buggy.. 0.97.1 is out and with major fixes [01:19] CRASH69: i'll give you the link [01:19] daggerx: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php grab an iso down here and burn a copy, than boot to cd with you [01:20] moose: google "linux laptop" there should be a whole site dedicated to reviewing laptop performance with different distros [01:20] doing it now... [01:20] CRASH69: http://www.amsn-project.net/linux-downloads.php [01:20] moose: http://www.linux-laptop.net/ should work [01:20] no i just want laptops with UBUNTU Only like DELL [01:20] i want to buy a LENOVO think pad [01:20] juano__: ok, I was working just fine 8 hours ago, but I will download [01:20] high-freq in terminal type sudo ln -s /dev/rfcomm1 /dev/modem [01:20] moose: oh, you mean preinstalled? [01:20] k k figured it was just ln -s [01:20] moose_, i would aboide ati video cards if possible. [01:20] didn't know if any other options [01:21] well both wasy [01:21] moose_, i would avoide ati video cards if possible. [01:21] !who [01:21] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [01:21] what about NVIDIA?? [01:21] anyone know how to open a port range in ufw? I use: sudo ufw allow from any port 8000 to any port 8009 but it doesn't seem to work [01:21] CRASH69: well it's worth it cause it has major fixes and probably your problem is related to one of those bugs [01:21] moose: I don't know about nvidia, but ATI was very tough to get working with Ubuntu for me. I'd try nvidia, they seem to have less problems [01:21] CRASH69: first remove yur amsn 0.97 through synaptic [01:21] hrmm... i keep getting this on hardy x64: E: The package hal needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. [01:21] how about INTEL?? [01:22] moose_: no [01:22] CRASH69: before installing.. ^^ [01:22] are all INTEL graphic cards chip supported with UBUNTU distros?? [01:22] intel graphics cards are not real cards, they'll work almost guaranteed, but they're slower [01:22] moose_: yes but they are slower than molasses [01:22] or at least I've never had or heard of problems with them [01:22] but compiz fusion and all that other stuff will work rite??? [01:22] CRASH69: use the generic installer [01:22] moose: with intel, yes but slow. with ATI: fast but difficult: Nvidia I think is your best bet [01:23] moose_: yea it does im actually using a gma950 with compiz but games and photos are slow [01:23] Can someone help me get 3D acceleration working on my i915? When I did 'glxinfo | grep rendering', it said "direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)". After I set LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose and tried it again, it said the EXACT SAME THING. [01:23] qll it matters to me now is my UBUNTU and my AWN with compiz fusion working on my new laptopn and not have to worry about this stupid graphics card if they are not compatible or not [01:23] then go with Intel I'd say [01:23] THANKS [01:23] moose_: you could bitch at the manufacturers... :) [01:24] hehe [01:24] juano__: done removing, generic for 8.5 or 8.4, I see both tk installed [01:24] red: i915 is an intel chipset, right? [01:24] should i write a letter to NVIDIA?? [01:24] moose: no, ATI [01:24] Mecha25: Yes, it is. [01:24] CRASH69: then download 8.5 [01:24] red: did you check if it shows up in Restricted Driver manager? that's odd, intel chipsets are usually fully compatible [01:24] cuz i heard that DELL pre shipps laptops with UBUNTU [01:24] moose_: if you arent doing games, or photo editing, 3d go with intel [01:25] moose: yes, but only certain models [01:25] no i want to do all of the gaming and 3D desktop cube so i want a goood laptop that will run UBUNTU amazingly [01:25] moose_, check out system76.com [01:25] to run UBUNTU to its BEST [01:25] moose: yes, system76 will get you what you want, guaranteed [01:25] Anyone know the name of the network applet thingie in the corner of ubuntu? [01:25] moose_, more expensive then dell but they can do beefy laptops [01:26] mine quit working for some reason [01:26] godzirra: nm-applet [01:26] thank u, just burned it, gonna reboot and check it out...thank u...toki [01:26] ... [01:26] godzirra: did you reboot? sometimes when network connectivity glitches, a reboot fixes that [01:26] i heard IBM would be a best choice in laptops [01:26] wtf dont I have nm-applet? [01:26] so im planning on buying a really good IBM that will run my UBUNTU To its max [01:26] moose_: it's all a matter of what you're comfortable with [01:27] Mecha25, it's not a restricted driver, and the driver as far as I can tell is installed correctly [01:27] godzirra: are you looking in the menus? it's not in there, that's the terminal name [01:27] Mecha25: I know. I did `locate nm-applet` [01:27] godzirra: you aked for the name of the network applet, that what its called, nm-applet [01:27] its not there anymore [01:27] since I uninstaled wpasupplicant [01:27] godzirra: that might not have been the best idea [01:27] moose_, ibm sold their comp manufacturing business to lenovo [01:27] red, yes that what i've been hearing about NVIDIA that their drivers are restricted and not opn source [01:27] Mecha25: Apparently. [01:27] Mecha25: Hwo do I get the network applet back? [01:27] usser what do you think would be good laptop?? [01:27] reinstall nm-applet, use Synaptic [01:27] It hasn't ever been dependent on wpasupplicant on any other system. [01:27] mecha: both have there quirks.. problems usually arise when new cards are released without drivers or support [01:28] the older ati and nvidia in my experience never fail [01:28] aside from the compatibility issues with UBUNTU due to restricted drivers [01:28] can anyone tell me how to change my icons using gnome? [01:28] Mecha25: I did "Apt-get search nm-applet" and didnt find it. [01:28] minus the capital a [01:28] godzirra: open up Synaptic, search for it there [01:28] i was told INTEL was open source [01:28] with their drivers [01:28] moose_, hps are nice and almost always fully supported, just find one with nvidia graphics which is kinda hard and again system76 [01:28] Mecha25: 0 matches. [01:28] ok [01:28] kewls [01:29] The driver is working ok (I'm not stuck in low graphics mode anymore), just no 3D acceleration. [01:29] moose_ We have lots of good info on hardware compatibility.. This is not the best place to get answers on that.. Please try #ubuntu-offtopic [01:29] red: huh... that's odd, how old is the computer? [01:29] algen abla spanish cabros [01:29] !es [01:29] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es.

And I had 3D acceleration working before, before I tried using adifferent driver to fix the 915resolution hibernate problem. [01:30] usser im sorry but i have never heard of any of those laptops on that website [01:30] spanish [01:30] they look really good [01:30] tempting to buy [01:30] compiz + X31000 : does it work?

[01:32] sorry red, I got a phone call, I hope someone can help you out [01:32] Anyoine!!! compiz + X31000 : does it work? [01:32] !patience [01:32] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [01:32] usser. thanks i see the graphic chipset that they are using in those laptops [01:32] ustedes entender la palabra amariconao [01:32] bmarley: got your icon theme on desktop?, just drag it to the apperance window, located at System>Preferences>Apperance [01:32] whoops, meant x3100, not x31000 [01:33] how compatible is ubuntu with zunes? [01:33] juano__: thx, fixed [01:33] usser i wil try to find brand name laptop with that similiar graphics card [01:33] seth_slade: yes it works [01:33] moose_, good luck [01:33] CRASH69: cool :) [01:33] seth_slade: (not completely yet, though, but yes. it basically works with most features) [01:33] seth_slade: assuming you mean the intel chip [01:34] bmarley: ahh sorry that was for installing icon theme, get to the apperance window, again (system,preferences,apperance) and click on the icon tab [01:34] CRASH69: watch out for some apps, before installing check latest versions in google... some might be worth not installing from synaptic [01:34] seth_slade: The stock drivers ubuntu ships are just fine [01:34] Tokie240: what should i actually drag? [01:34] the .theme file? [01:34] anyone has a xorg.conf with a dual screen using the "radeon" driver setup.. i've got a ati 9200 mobility (or rv250 ? i don't understand that) and i think "ati" driver don't support my card, and fglrx neither. anyone can steer me in the right way ? [01:34] bmarley: yea, but it should be .tar.gz to work, pick up an icon theme from gnome-look.org [01:35] ninix 9200 does not support fglrx, only aiglx... see xinerama or twinview [01:35] Tokie240: thanks, drag the whole tarball there? [01:35] ninix: just to clarify, the "ati" driver is just a wrapper which lods "radeon" [01:36] bmarley: yea [01:36] i can't mount my cdrom. even ubuntu forms is quiet about this problem. it sounds like a big problem.

[01:48] linux [01:48] Has anyone else noticed a bug where if a gksudo darkens the screen, once it's closed the screen doesn't repaint properly? [01:48] Tokie240 try setting up a monitor section first. Sometimes that is all that is needed [01:48] ninix: you also said fglrx, which is that driver :) [01:49] sombody please tellme regex patteren to find "" [01:49] did you ever try openoffice?

I have to then log out and log back in to get my desktop back [02:03] Jack_Sparrow: let me check something real quick [02:03] Storrgie: sometimes mine does that, just wait a few more seonds and mine pops up [02:03] kindofabuzz: really? i never bothered to wait beyong am inute [02:03] Jack_Sparrow: i just disabled all third party repos [02:04] now im gonna reload and reinstall [02:04] kindofabuzz: i have a quad core with 8gb of ram... i dont like waiting [02:04] Storrgie: well if it takes a minute then yeah something is probably wrong. unless you got a slow computer [02:04] stochastik: oh [02:04] meoblast001 doing that after you have used them will not change the depency issues you created by using them [02:04] oops [02:04] Jack_Sparrow: i strongly believe i was not using them [02:04] with 26gb, how much space should I allocate to /usr and how much to /var ?

[02:05] !br | raphael_ [02:05] the dapper one was a minor repo [02:05] for specific apps [02:05] meoblast001, does not matter. [02:05] sim brasil [02:05] and i installed elisa WAY before using those [02:06] meoblast001 Your system is truely messed up.. Sorry, but I cant help [02:06] raphael_, /join #ubuntu-br [02:06] =/ [02:06] ow...man i remeber being repo crazy, not the greatest to have everything bleeding, man i remeber i couldnt even boot right anymore [02:06] how do i start gnome text to speech [02:06] I have ~10 machines that I need to update... is there any way to make them all install the same packages? [02:07] !clone [02:07] how to lunch an application like terminal or firefox directly in full screen mode? [02:07] engstad, you may want to set up one box (if they are all networked) to be the apt cacher/proxy for the other box's [02:07] engstad We have a way to clone packages on machines [02:07] That's cool, I could have one behave as master. [02:08] how do i start gnome text to speech once its installed [02:08] Jack_Sparrow: A cmd line like: apt clone master-machine? [02:08] Hi, Im having issues with the wireless setup on Ubuntu 8.04 [02:08] Jack_Sparrow: well i tried the generic monitor and no luck :( [02:08] engstad nope.. bot is down.. let me see if I can find it [02:09] firstmate what's the issue? [02:09] I entered all the correct information (correct WEP, ESSID..etc) triple checked [02:09] but it keeps [02:09] engstad, cloning and 'shareing the same downloads from a single proxy.cache machine ' are 2 differnt things. :) [02:09] Jack_Sparrow: still stuck on 800*600 [02:09] bringing up, Authencication needed [02:09] and asks me for WEP key again. [02:09] engstad !clone... To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - [02:09] I just went to my routers page, and the information is correct. [02:09] firstmate are you using ifconfig or the gui tool? [02:09] Jack: Awesome! I'll make a script for that. :-) Thanks! [02:09] ? [02:10] Im on my routed site, 192.168.0.1 [02:10] router* [02:10] engstad take care.. se also aptoncd for copying repos [02:10] anyone knows how to use gnome text to speech [02:10] firstmate you're able to connect to your router through the wireless? [02:10] Yes [02:10] Jack: I will, though with the network speed, I don't think that'll be an issue. [02:10] But Using a different laptop, I am able to [02:10] alpinestr: did you check under System>Prefs>Assisted Technologies [02:11] engstad, that will make each machine redownload the exact same packages.. so you will be using 10x the bandwith - unless you use that trick with the apt cache type machine. [02:11] It seems to be only from my linux computer. [02:11] firstmate are you using wep or wap? [02:11] wep 128 bit [02:11] firstmate and are you trying to configure it through the gui, or are you doing it through the command line? [02:11] Authentication Type is set to both, open and shared [02:11] its not there [02:12] gui [02:12] I'm not familiar with the command line [02:12] Has anyone ever installed Lurker (email) on 8.04? [02:12] hi [02:12] firstmate I've had a lot of problems with the base gui that comes with ubuntu when I'm connecting to encrypted pages, try apt-get install wicd and then run /opt/wicd/gui.py [02:12] * networks, not pages [02:13] Huh [02:13] "try apt-get install wicd and then run /opt/wicd/gui.py" I don't understand that, lol. [02:13] firstmate ok, you need to open a terminal [02:13] My laptop is on with Linux [02:13] the top bar of my gnome-panel just disappeared, i tryed to relog but it wont show, how can i get it back? [02:14] firstmate is your linux machine able to connect via cable to the internet? [02:14] there we go. [02:14] how do login as owner? i need to change file permissions in etc to modify fstab to enable my fileswap [02:14] alpinestr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TextToSpeech [02:14] i had start-stop-deamon being faked out... [02:14] I do not have the cables necessary for the connection from a cable. [02:14] firstmate hmm [02:14] And the ones connected in my main comp, go through the wall. [02:14] Its apt-get install wicd a command line? [02:15] how do i get owner/superuser status? [02:15] lakitu: you can log in as root by setting a root password, though it is not advised [02:15] firstmate yeah, that's another program to configure wireless devices. I find it works a lot better for encrypted networks than the one that comes with ubuntu's base install [02:15] lakitu, dont do that [02:15] cwill747: how do i modify fstab then? [02:15] Do I have to download it somewhere? [02:15] lakitu, just use sudo when you need to [02:15] firstmate yes, that's what apt-get install wicd does [02:15] hello [02:15] bazhang: i did "sude gedit etc/fstab" & it won't let me save [02:15] lakitu, i agree with bazhang, you shouldn't really need to do that [02:15] sudO [02:16] thx [02:16] firstmate if you type that into the command line terminal, it finds it and sets it up on your machine [02:16] Are there known GL problems when using 8.04? ... I'm having 'small horiz. lines' when I run glxgears ... and another GL based application... [02:16] Where is the command line terminal? [02:16] let me try again to confirm, i guess [02:16] alpinestr: no problem [02:16] Sytem? Places? Applications? [02:16] firstmate type alt-f2 and then type in gnome-terminal and hit enter [02:16] firstmate it should launch [02:16] Firstmate, Applications > Accessories > Terminal [02:16] ccessories/Terminal [02:16] I dunno about GL problems but the ATI drivers are certainly crap and conflict with the restricted drivers in Ubuntu majorly === adrianq_ is now known as donaqoffice [02:17] then I type apt-get install wicd [02:17] firstmate probably sudo apt-get install wicd [02:17] you usually have to sudo apt-get install wicd [02:17] Firstmate, dont bother with wep; wpa2 is the way to go but first you should open up (no encryption) to test, then set via command line--you will need a cable though later on if you dont have proper drivers to install them (easiest way) [02:17] Why is my recordMyDesktop video laggy? I have 3GB of RAM! [02:17] Firstmate: use sudo apt-get install [02:17] I noticed the extension was .py, do I have to have the python to use it? [02:17] neogi: mine is Intel. .. an old Compaq iPaq desktop .. runs good otherwise [02:17] how do you resolve flash menu below a page. You click the menu and can't see it because it is behind graphics [02:17] firstmate yes. but if you type that, it will figure out that it needs python and whatever other things it wants and install them too [02:17] Firstmate any dependences needed will be downloaded with apt-het [02:18] I have python kit since I am learning it. [02:18] No screamer, but does well otherwise. [02:18] get* [02:18] I have an error [02:18] i typed "sudo gedit /etc/fstab" & i got this message: sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0640, should be 0440 [02:18] E: Couldn't find package wicd [02:18] crdlb: is xrandr shoud work for setup a dual screen ? [02:18] In the terminal I typed: sudo apt-get install wicd [02:18] firstmate try sudo apt-get update first [02:18] Firstmate: do you have universe and multiverse repos enabled? === LSD|Ninj2 is now known as LSD|Ninja [02:19] Im not that advanced with computers to understand that XD [02:19] ok [02:19] Firstmate, you need a net connection for that, also wicd is not in the repos iirc [02:19] !info wicd [02:19] !info wicd [02:19] I till type sudo apt-get update [02:19] !info wicd [02:19] Can someone help me please? [02:19] oh right no ubottu [02:19] ninix: XRandR currently only supports a merged screen, which may not work because of the 2048 hardware limit [02:19] it's not in base repositories? [02:19] LetsGo67 what's up [02:19] Tanubis, no [02:19] ninix: you can try it though; it's possible that it can work (with no glx support), but I can't remember [02:20] tbh, I am still running ubuntu from the CD, because I have to backup files, could this cause problems? [02:20] anyone done any playing around with satellite software for linux? [02:20] kk [02:20] hi, anyone know what's the command that let's me know what package is a file from? [02:20] And after typing: sudo apt-get update [02:20] I get many "Failed to fetch" errors [02:20] Including a W:You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems [02:20] firstmate that's because you need to be online for all of this [02:20] Tokie240: gtk-recordMyDesktop recordings lag, despite 3 gigabytes of RAM. [02:20] Firstmate, you have a cable connection to this box? otherwise all internet updates and the like will fail [02:21] #abiword [02:21] The problem IS connecting to the internet [02:21] lol [02:21] Firstmate, get a cable [02:21] how come when i play Big Buck Bunny in any video player, the player dies? [02:21] If [02:21] I disable my WEP key [02:21] digistyl3, try http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/using-ubuntu-what-package-did-this-file-come-from/ [02:21] and then do those updates [02:21] Will that have a better chance [02:21] firstmate that works too [02:21] Google is your friend :) [02:21] I'm going to try and network my Ubuntu PC to a printer shared off my iMac. Do I want the LPD or CUPS approach? [02:21] Firstmate, get the cable first; no updates until then-->also, what chipset is this card [02:21] firstmate if you turn off your wep, and that makes your wireless work, that'll let you get everything you need [02:22] I typed: command what package is a file from ubuntu [02:22] what does mode 0640/0440 mean? [02:22] did i eff something up changing permissions? [02:22] Neogi: thanks [02:23] Tokie240? [02:23] lakitu yes its permission related [02:23] how would i make a program auto "Always visible on workspace"? [02:23] look up "man chmod" to find out what it means [02:23] amenado: i think i screwed up some permissions, i tried changing fstab or /etc/ to read-write... [02:23] LetsGo67: http://dev.honewatson.com/easy-ubuntu-screencasting-feisty-gutsy-gibbon-usb-headset/ you got everything configured right? [02:23] do i need to change that back? [02:23] sudo is giving me errors, now [02:24] lakitu: in chmod ? [02:24] Fezzler: use CUPS, much nicer than LPD which is ancient these days [02:24] (it was great years ago) [02:24] juano__: in the file browser [02:24] nautilus or whatever [02:24] lakitu, fstab has nothing to do with sudo. its possible you really messed somthingup by trying that weirdness. :) [02:24] lol [02:24] how would i make a program auto "Always visible on workspace"? [02:24] lakitu since you are too new to even understand file permissions, i suggest you re-install your ubuntu [02:24] lakitu: A good explanation of permissions and what the numbers mean for them can be found here: http://www.linuxcommand.org/lts0070.php [02:24] but that's how you learn [02:25] Neogi: Will this be installed via the GNOME interface or require Terminal commands [02:25] kindofabuzz, not really seen a way to do that with the default gnome tools.. Theres some otehr tools that might let ya force it to work. But i forget the name of the one i was thinking of. [02:25] all my programs crash when i try to play 720p theora video [02:25] Thanks Tokie240! [02:25] CUPs has a web interface you can get to by typing the box name and a port, 631 I think... hold on I'll check [02:25] lakitu: 4 = read , 2 = write , 1 = execute, 6 = rw, 4 = r, 0 = none [02:26] amenado: i guess i did it because https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq told me to modify fstab, & when i went to do that, it said i needed permissions. so i set about changing permissions [02:26] Dr_willis: yeah i've been looking at various options in gnome but no luck. So you've seen a way to do it though with a prog? [02:26] yeah, it's port 631 [02:26] kindofabuzz, devilspie is a tool that lets you do all sorts of tricks. [02:26] Dr_willis: basically want terminal with that option [02:26] Dr_willis: ok thanks, will check that out [02:27] kindofabuzz, other desktops/window managetrs can rember window settings better then gnome does. [02:27] so if your box is called localhost, just do http://localhost:631/ or the name of the box itself (or IP if you're on another machine and want to access it)... just make sure your firewall allows incoming requests on that port though or it will never connect [02:27] Tokie240, can I send you a theora video? [02:27] Dr_willis: oh yeah i could see if compiz has that option! probably does [02:27] lakitu-> i do not know what else you have modified within /etc therefore I suggested the re-install, harder for you to recover all the correct permission within /etc [02:27] lakitu: mode 0640 is translated like: rw for the owner, r for group and nothing for world [02:28] LetsGo67: how big? [02:28] amenado: i changed one thing, it should be doable to change that back, no? [02:28] lakitu which file did you modify? [02:28] juano__: ok [02:28] Tokie240: 15,7 MB. [02:28] amenado: either fstab or /etc/, i can't remember [02:28] i think etc [02:28] When typing sudo apt-get install wicd, it says Couldn't find package wicd [02:28] lakitu: what command did you execute.. chmod..? [02:28] LetsGo67: sure [02:28] Thanks. [02:28] lakitu: here's a link to a tutorial on file permissions... http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/linux/usersguide/linux_ugfilesp.html [02:29] juano__: no command, i did it via the gui [02:29] what is wrong with my comptuer..... now its mounting my SD slot as read only... why? i didnt modify my fstab.... it never did this before [02:29] lakitu: ok, you set 0640 to fstab ? [02:29] lakitu if it was /etc its more dangerous.. [02:29] Tokie240:voila [02:29] amenado: argh. is it undoable? [02:29] juano__: unfortunately i think /etc/ [02:29] Tokie240 got it? [02:30] how do you resolve flash menu below a page. You click the menu and can't see it because it is behind graphics [02:30] thanks Neogi [02:30] Firstmate: add this repository, that should help "deb http://apt.wicd.net gutsy extras" [02:30] lakitu yes, but you have to know the ins/out of this directory..i suggest you re-install [02:30] no worries :) [02:30] LetsGo67: my connection isnt the fastest... [02:30] what is teminal's command? gnome-terminal or something? [02:30] amenado. & when i want to modify fstab next time around, what should i do? [02:30] Tokie240: zipped file? === freqk is now known as freqk|away [02:31] does sudo gedit work for that? [02:31] lakitu you have to be root priviledge to modify such file [02:31] LetsGo67: the transfer hasnt begun [02:31] hello === freqk|away is now known as freqk [02:31] amenado: yes, & how do i do that? [02:31] Tokie240 get ready. [02:31] what command invokes the gnome terminal/ [02:31] Hi folks... Synaptic and add/remove programs has suddenlu disappeared from my menu. Thay're still listed as installed.... Any explanation? And can I reset my menu setting so they're there again? [02:31] kindofabuzz: gnome-terminal, i think [02:31] lakitu are you familiar enuff with vim or vi or emacs editors? [02:31] amenado: 0 percent [02:31] Tokie240: works? [02:32] lakitu: yeah that's it, thanks [02:32] LetsGo67: says it's still waiting [02:32] vi?!! nano ftw! [02:32] kindofabuzz: someone in #here said it like 15 minutes ago [02:32] lakitu may i suggest some tutorials on how to use linux, walking you throught the steps is cumbersome and waste of our time, so please take the iniative to do a self-stufy/tutorial [02:32] I've installed a new nice theme but the window borders are too thin (one pixel wide). It makes it too hard to change window size. Is there a way to make them thicker? I'm using gnome. [02:33] lakitu: see, things happen for a reason =) [02:33] Tokie240 bittorrent? [02:33] lakitu you can use your browser to look for linux tutorials on google [02:33] lakitu: do ls / -l [02:33] LetsGo67: sure [02:33] lakitu: and paste /etc permissions [02:34] * zcat[1] ponders how lakitu could have accidentally changed permission on /etc/ or fstab without using sudo.. [02:34] amenado: ok. i think the SwapFaq should perhaps have a link or something to how to modify the file, since it is requisite to creating a swap file [02:35] LetsGo67: Could be me man, my comp's kind of misconfigured right now [02:35] juano__: ok [02:35] zcat[1]: gksu nautilus comes to mind [02:35] I've installed a new nice theme but the window borders are too thin (one pixel wide). It makes it too hard to change window size. Is there a way to make them thicker? I'm using gnome. [02:35] anyone? [02:35] Tokie240: how come? [02:35] hmm [02:35] Tokie240: oh, you mean for IRC file transfers? [02:35] what kind of swap are you trying to create? [02:36] that was for lakitu [02:36] kindofabuzz, check http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202249&highlight=terminal+desktop for a terminal stuck to all desktops howto. :) [02:36] juano__: drwxr-xr-x [02:36] Dr_willis: yeah Compiz had an option for it, seems to slow things down a little though when switching desktops [02:36] Letsgo67: it's the whole thing really, i originally came here to fix my 800*600 res, the whole thing is just fritzing right now after an intel driver update [02:36] lakitu: root root ? [02:36] oh well.. I got my linux box to join a windows domain just now. Of course I first had to set up windows server in virtualbox so I had a domain to join...;) [02:36] juano__: root root [02:36] lakitu: its fine then [02:37] 120, before root [02:37] kindofabuzz, i just use one of those "hit F12 to have a terminal scroll down" programs. :) [02:37] anyone know how to change a launcher so that it toggles compiz redirect on launch? [02:37] My update manager says I need to update Firefox (even though I'm pretty sure it's up to date), but when I try to, I get an error describing a failed fetch attempt that 404'd. [02:37] Anyone know the problem? [02:37] lakitu: permissions (drw-rw----) not owner? [02:37] juano__: i assume it's from my permissions change - but what do i need to do, if not a reinstall? [02:37] Tokie240: pity. [02:38] I have pity for you. [02:38] lakitu: i still don't understand your problem well [02:38] Dr_willis: yeah, i don't really like those for some reason, i'd rather just have it sticky across my desktops. been thinking of running one of those applet/screenlets for terminal and just make my whole desktop terminal. lol [02:38] lakitu: what is it you modified [02:38] juano__: ok [02:38] LetsGo67: kinda bad going from 1440*900 to ol school 800 [02:38] i've seen a lot of videos of people making ubuntu look just like osx, does anyone know if there is a community for that sort of thing? [02:38] juano__: i think /etc's permissions [02:38] lakitu: well they are fineç [02:39] kindofabuzz, check comment # 175 on that thread. they mention the compiz way. [02:39] lakitu: i don't think you did, plus you need to be root to do that [02:39] Dr_willis: yeah i figured it out [02:39] lakitu: we want the first bit that starts with 'd' -- mine is drwxr-xr-x 169 root root 7.8K 2008-08-05 12:19 etc [02:39] zenkk: i'm sorry, i don't understand. the permissions were drwxr-xr-x for /etc [02:39] I want to install ZSNES on ubuntu 8.04 amd64, what do I have to do??? pleasse help !! [02:39] Tokie240: why do I have so much lag, so many problems, so many Opera crashes, even with 3GB of RAM? [02:39] HoNgOuRu: Did you check Synaptic? [02:39] When I install mysql 5 it says it should ask me to set up a password, but it doesn't, and it is preset with one.... how do i fix this? [02:39] lakitu: good.. that's normal [02:39] HoNgOuRu: sudo apt-get install zsnes [02:39] yes [02:39] Tokie240: isn't 3GB close to the best? [02:40] its not there [02:40] HoNgOuRu, last i checked znes does NOT support 64bit. Ive seen people ask this befor. i think the package comments were not clear on that limitation. [02:40] just says that a package makes refrerences to it [02:40] LetsGo67: are you using 64 bit, if so that's why, it's really not working to good as of yet [02:40] oh! [02:40] HoNgOuRu, so i would suggest using some other snes emulator. [02:40] juano__: the error i get is this: sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0640, should be 0440 [02:40] I tried snes9x but no luck with joysticks [02:40] Does Indexer index / directories as well? [02:41] LetsGo67: Intel Celeron inside. [02:41] lakitu: Excellent; that will stop you messing up anything else.. ;) [02:41] HoNgOuRu: you got to config your gamepad/jooysticks [02:41] in zsnes [02:41] yes [02:41] ok, then you should do sudo chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers [02:41] zcat[1]: ha ha [02:41] HoNgOuRu: You know that you can play a huge amount of games online at Virtual Nes through Java, right? You don't even need to download an emulator. [02:41] ok, thanks juano__ [02:41] ugh,.. i was hoping someone knew.. [02:41] lakitu: ok, then you should do sudo chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers [02:41] its installed and working at /dev/input/js0 [02:41] juano__: how can he; sudo won't run if sudoers has the wrong permissions.. [02:42] zcat[1]: lmao [02:42] Tokie240: good luck with your screen. [02:42] Dr_willis help [02:42] LetsGo67: yea same to you with you're lag issues [02:42] heehe [02:42] Tokie240: thanks, good night, ttyl. [02:43] I've searched google, and the forums about this, not much about it. Open up Openoffice Writer, and the titlebar goes bonkers when Compiz is loaded. [02:43] there a fix for this? [02:43] yeah, it won't let me, juano__ [02:43] zcat[1]: right duh me [02:43] lakita: here ya go, this should help, it's how to create swap files in Linux of any flavour, should work http://www.linux.com/feature/113956 [02:43] lakitu: you need to login as root [02:43] juano__: how [02:43] did someone fix the joystick issue with snes9x ?? [02:44] lakitu: or try "su" in a terminal [02:44] lakitu, juano__ It is not reccomended to log in as root, you almost certainly do NOT need to [02:44] lakitu: plain su and then root password [02:44] I made a sym link from /dev/js0 to /dev/input/js0 but no luck [02:44] oh why the hell do I have to get a nautilus bug T____T [02:44] juano__: probably best to establish that that's the only file with the wrong permissions.. if everything in /etc/ is now 644, a reinstall might be the easiest thing [02:44] Jordan_U: in this case yes, he f**d up /etc/suduoers [02:44] lakitu: worst case, enable root... I'm an oldschool linux user so even though I used Ubuntu, root is always the first thing I enable [02:44] they STILL haven't patched it to use the damn umasks [02:44] :'( [02:44] Does Indexer index / directories as well? [02:44] juano__, Using su will not help, su to root is disabled by default [02:45] Jordan_U: right, im in slackware sorry... cant help it [02:45] boot in single user mode? [02:45] lakitu, juano__ You can boot into "recovery mode" ( single user mode ) from the grub prompt [02:45] I don't really see the difference in sudoing and root access... it's really the same thing and it's annoying to have to type "sudo apt-get" all the time instead of just apt-get [02:45] Neogi: and how do you enable root when you're already broken sudo? that's the tricky part... [02:45] ok.. then what [02:45] if that is possible [02:45] Neogi: your right, but thats ubuntu's philosophy [02:45] go into single user mode [02:45] evenin' folks [02:45] Evening. [02:45] lakcaj, Do you have a backup of your /etc/sudoers ? [02:46] with NFS can only one machine mount an exported dir???? [02:46] Neogi: anyhow you don't need to enable root for that.. sudo -i will give you a rootshell [02:46] Jordan_U: no, but it's a fresh install. nothing much to lose [02:46] at grub, whilst most people don't tend to password their boot loader, the easiest way to hack a linux box is put a "1" at the end of the boot loader command and you've got root straight away [02:46] can someone help me get my sound working please? [02:46] Hey, I came in here before a few days ago where I had this problem: it'd work fine for about 28-30 hours, then I wouldn't be able to launch any new programs. In order to fix this, I'd have to do a hard reboot, not just X. Well, I uninstalled a program that I think was the cause, it's been good for over 4 days, and it happened again. [02:46] Aquahallic, more then one machine can access a export.. Or should be able to... [02:46] What!? No one can answer me? [02:46] lakcaj, Did sudo ever work? How fresh an install is it? [02:46] Jordan_U: yes. 1 hour [02:47] Neogi: yep.. or the rescue boot option.. or change 'ro quiet spalsh' to 'rw init=/bin/bash' [02:47] lakcaj, What have you done since it worked? [02:47] Ubuntu never booted for me. [02:47] it will force the machine to boot into single user mode even if someone's taken the other options out of the menu (which I always do as I want a clean boot loader) [02:48] Neogi: you'll find getting root on my machines quite a lot harder... [02:48] well I have a dir exported on a machine that sits in my basement... on another I have in fstab to mount that exported dir.. then when I go to second machine to mount it. .I get "mount: special device...... does not exist" [02:48] Jordan_U: i tried setting up networking, but needed to modify fstab [02:48] as it should be zcat! :) [02:48] oh dear.. [02:48] but before i finished that, i attempted to add a swapfile [02:48] Does Tracker index / directories as well? [02:48] fstab guis are avail [02:48] Jordan_U: which also required i modify fstab [02:49] you'd need a can of compressed air and a emmory-dumper on a USB drive to do it ;) [02:49] able [02:49] Could someone help me configure my xorg.conf so that I can get 1440x900 resolution back. Somehow it managed to get messed up I think it might have been an update or something. [02:49] lakitu, You should not have to modify your fstab for networking [02:49] Jordan_U: neither walkthrough explained how to modify Fstab/file permissions [02:49] try this lakitu: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [02:49] any one here know how to use usplash [02:49] Aquahallic, its possible you dont have the proper nfs server/client files/services installed/running on box #2. [02:50] could someone please help me get my sound working? [02:50] anyone know where i can find a rdp client CD iso to boot into windows terminal server environment??? tried thinstation... sucks, tried anywhereTS.. not good also... is there anything else? maybe some good iso from any distro like DSL [02:50] chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers, tried that? [02:50] If you are trying to fix the error where it says sudo is mode _____, should be 0440, then you'll want to type [02:50] Neogi: he tried but he needs permissions for that (has to be root) [02:51] Dr_willis I have nfs-common and portmap [02:51] juano__: isn't terminal services client on the ubuntu live CD? [02:51] it says to do it from single user mode, hence root === marshall is now known as bmarley13 [02:51] good evening; I'm trying to get dictionary support in OpenOffice to work for me (nothing fancy, just us english) -- I have the english language pack installed, and my kate/konqueror/etc text input boxes all have spell checking, just not OpenOffice [02:51] Jordan_U: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently [02:51] can anyone tell me where I might start looking? [02:51] usplash ? anyone? [02:51] "Add a line at the bottom of your /etc/fstab file that specifies:" [02:51] Aquahallic, i would double check the nfs ubuntu wiki page. I imagine you are missing somthing simple. [02:51] zacat[1]: Yes it is. [02:51] zcat[1]: It's located in applications under internet. [02:51] yeah.. lemme run through that real quick [02:52] Jordan_U: i think it should be all point & click, anyway. that stuff [02:52] zcat[1]: i want a direct into rdp session boot [02:52] Kaspersky_: well, that answers juano__'s question I think. [02:52] myspell-en-us is installed, aspell is installed, I don't get it [02:52] I wonder... on the box that does mount the dir.... could I have something in that fstab line that's locking the exported dir? [02:52] zcat[1]: nope, not what im looking for [02:52] juano__: don't know of a CD to do that... [02:52] how do i uninstall ubuntu? [02:52] is there a deb of flock 2.0 for amd64? [02:53] AAGG, Do you have a dual boot setup or just Ubuntu installed on your computer? [02:53] and does anyone have firefox 3 or iceweasel 3 running on amd64 [02:53] juano__: you can probably remaster something yourself.. I'd start with puppy and hack it in cos it's very small and lets you put whatever you set up back onto a CD quite easily [02:53] aha [02:54] just ubuntu [02:54] english-canada does not have a dictionary. english-us does. [02:54] dihymo: firefox 3.0.1 on amd64 here [02:54] zcat[1]: your right.. im checking out DSL too.. it seems someone has done this before with DSL [02:54] zcat[1]: thanks [02:54] AAGG, Then you can just install the OS of your choice over ubuntu ( be sure to back up any files you have in Ubuntu to another drive first ) [02:55] well... opinions - should i just reinstall? or is there 'a save' for this? [02:55] * zcat[1] was thinking 'sudo aptitude remove ubuntu-base' ought to work ;) [02:56] Is there any additional settings needed in vent setup in order to get ventrilo through wine, through pulseaudio sound working? Hardy [02:56] lakitu, There is almost certainly a 'save' for this, but if you have'nt done anything you don't care to loose then I would just re-install and be sure to back up important files before editing them in the future [02:56] !usplash [02:57] anyone here use usplash? [02:57] Jordan_U: wait... maybe i did back up fstab.. - but wait again. that won't help me, i suppose either =/ hm [02:57] MeVsTheVoices: give up and use mumble instead? [02:57] heh, sorry, there was a related problem. Did anyone say anything to me? [02:57] CAn mumble connect to vent servers? [02:58] no... [02:58] Well, that's probably why [02:58] but there's a mumble client for 'doze and osx so no reason your friends can't switch too.. [02:58] Is there a way to stop openoffice adding a \n to the end of every copy/paste i make? [02:58] k Jordan_U. sounds reasonable [02:58] they probably could, just that Vent won't allow the connections =) [02:58] * meoblast001 is away: meoaway [02:58] lakcaj, Why wouldn't it help you? If editing the file caused the problem then restoring the file will fix it [02:59] True but the ingoing sound works, so I see no reason why the outgoing cannot be fixeed [02:59] i would include a link to file permission changing in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently & perhaps https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFAQ [02:59] when i put XP into the drive it wont boot, is like there no option of boot from disk before ubuntu opens [02:59] imo [02:59] *fixed [02:59] brb [02:59] when 8.04 starts up the bar with applications places and all my panels does not load up. I think i have added a panel thats causing it to crash. Is there a way to factory reset all the ubuntu panels? [03:00] stewart_: you can probably edit a config file [03:00] can anyone login with amsn? [03:00] zachb i would assume so but i dont know where [03:00] Stewert, put in the disk :P [03:00] Mesiox: sorry.. not sure what you mean [03:01] i cant do anything when the desk top loads... the panels are just frozen [03:01] stewart_, nor do i, tryed sounding intelligent [03:01] MeVsTheVoices: there's a linux native ventrilo apparently.. [03:01] Anyone have a msn account and can login with amsn at the moment? [03:01] Maxiox: lol [03:01] Hello all, Does your hardy update the trash can icon immediately after delete files or empty the trashcan? [03:01] If ifconfig reports an inet5 addr but no inet addr, is there a simple way to fix this? [03:01] where is the gnome panel config files [03:01] ? [03:01] Yes, but what I'm trying to connect to uses only a higher version of client than is avialible [03:01] how reliable is truecript? [03:01] *If ifconfig reports an inet6 addr but no inet addr, is there a simple way to fix this? [03:01] hi [03:01] Just lucky I guess [03:02] MeVsTheVoices: hmmm.. can't help you then. I only use non-propriatory voip ;) [03:02] I'm trying to install libgtk2.0-dev, but an error is generated: libgtk2.0-dev: Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.12.9-3ubuntu4), but 2.12.9-4ubuntu3 is to be installed. How can I fix it? [03:02] *shrug*, though wine would be a little better for sound by now. but no [03:03] so ok - recovery or reinstall - if reinstall, will it delete the prev. install? [03:03] can someone answer questino son installign wine [03:03] thanks for the help, btw [03:04] When I try "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" it tells me "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device." although the drive Ubuntu is installed on is /dev/sda. [03:04] I am going to reinstall all of the OS in my laptop. I want it to be as safe as possible. I am planning to add truecrypt. Any suggestions on what to do? Any special partitions? [03:04] anyone seen grub refuse to install on account of no /boot/grub/device.map? I'll be getting some pastebin links ready for those willing to look at this [03:05] arthurmaciel: The depends file should have been >= that version. To install specific version of libgtk2.0-0 use something like: sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0= 2.12.9-3ubuntu4 === AaronHall is now known as AaronH [03:05] I haven't really used linux since about a year ago... how solid is NTFS support nowadays? Am I going to be OK putting my big external 500gb in ntfs instead of ext2 (fairly well supported in windows)? [03:06] benplaut: i've had no probs w/ ntfs, but maybe fat32 would be better. [03:06] newuser_: use the alternative disk, choose encrypted LVM, go with the defaults for everything else.. and for security use a really strong passphrase and !!don't forget it!! [03:06] benplaut: it would be more advisable to use ext3 on that drive. You can read ext3 in Windows via FUSE. [03:07] zcat[1], for the alternative disk, what do you mean? [03:07] Anyone know of a problem where programs randomly shutdown such as Firefox and Four-in-a-row? [03:07] could someone please help me get my sound to work? [03:08] !fuse [03:08] the ubuntu alternative install disk (or the DVD) makes installing an encrypted filesystem really easy. I don't think the normal desktop/GUI installer can do it. Although I might be wrong? [03:08] how would my computer know my servers host name without it even being in my hosts file? [03:08] is ubotu sleeping? [03:08] crimsun, FUSE on windows? [03:08] kindofabuzz: DNS? DHCP? [03:08] arthurmaciel: please pastebin the output from `apt-cache policy libgtk2.0-0' [03:09] benplaut: i don't know why you'd put fuse on windows to read ext2, when Ubuntu will read fat32 or ntfs w/o issue. [03:09] zcat[1]: hmmm yeah i may have a static assinged to it with the router and it's hostname [03:09] benplaut: I guess that ntfs support is ok now, as wubi even uses ntfs as Ubuntu filesystem.. [03:09] ok [03:10] well, I'll keep using ext2 until I'm done upgrading (changing Arch + XP to Ubuntu + Vista) and then see what I can do [03:10] is it possible to have an external hdd with different OS and use everything from there? I want to have real important data on my hdd, and basic stuff on my laptop, and be able to boot a secure partition on an external hdd. Somethiing like a persistent usb pendrive [03:10] does wubi use ntfs directly or ext3-as-an-image-file on NTFS? [03:10] bmarley13: more specifically? [03:11] newuser_: yes, just connect the hard drive and ubuntu should auto mount that drive. viewable through nautilus [03:11] zcat[1]: The second one [03:11] cd .. [03:11] newuser_: anything is possible. Not all things are easy. [03:11] ooops [03:11] zcat[1]: i think it uses an ext3 image [03:12] newuser_: It's not too hard to set up a USB drive as an encrypted volume.. ubuntu will ask for a password when you plug it in.

[03:51] Hi. I acquired a LaserJet 5L printer used. How do I set up my Ubuntu Linux server to run as a print server for it? [03:51] Nillerz: Already installed the drivers? [03:51] xnevermore: i rang my bank and told them that firefox and opera makes my login page flash on and off. they are confused why. But epiphany-browser works perfect, so im lucky I can use that :) [03:52] any information concerning SIOCSIFFLAG is welcome, thank you [03:52] The drivers are installed, I'm using a USB reciever, a wg111v2 to be exact by Netgear [03:52] Nillerz: can your computer tell the network exists? [03:52] RudyValencia: You have it working locally? You want to use it over samba? [03:52] Mecha: No, it cannot [03:52] derenrich: I don't have it working at all [03:52] lisa_: that's kind of weird, especially since Epiphany uses the same rendering engine as Firefox to display pages [03:52] though this is weird because it also has no problem other times, like right now [03:52] I see [03:53] I want it to work for both Linux and Windows. [03:53] RudyValencia: Do you have CUPS installed [03:53] I dont know [03:53] RudyValencia: You'll want to use samba then [03:53] Nillerz: do the drivers involve NDISWrapper? [03:53] DozedOnLinux: what type of card and what drivers are you using? [03:53] I have Samba installed [03:53] RudyValencia: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/cups.html [03:53] NDISWrapper sux :) [03:53] Mecha25: Yes, I use ndiswrapper [03:53] it has it's uses though [03:53] xnevermore: yeah i know, the tech at my bank cant work out why. but firefox and opera work great on other pages, its just that one. but epiphany-browser works great, and it doesnt flash on and off. no idea :P [03:54] derenrich: CUPS is already installed.

(out of box) no additional drivers added, straight from box [03:54] for you free culture artists: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFreeCultureShowcase sorry OT =) [03:55] RudyValencia: do you have gnome running or are you doing this all from command line? [03:55] so any ideas on the wifi thing? [03:55] DozedOnLinux: hrm... The only thing you could really try is blacklisting the rt61pci module and trying a different driver perhaps.

[03:55] DozedOnLinux: well what updates were installed then? [03:55] Nillerz: google your wireless card model # and "ndiswrapper tutorial". you might get lucky [03:55] RudyValencia: I don't know how to setup printers from the command line, but using the gnome printer setup cups wizard is easy [03:56] can anyone help me with compiling something? here is the error i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/34266/ [03:56] histo: ok i know how to do that. i have temporarily disabled sound/usb appended grub line with noapic irqpoll,. and seems to work fine [03:56] mecha25: I already have.

[03:57] dahitokiri: using a crossover cable is similar to using a lan, you probably want either FTP or Samba sharing tutorials. [03:58] is it possible to Xforward a dir on my server into nautilus on the client? or would it be easier to just make that dir nfs?

I'm following the instructions on this tutorial: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35548 However, after installing the FRE when I start the video uploader tha application hangs up (I mean, crashes). I get this in the terminal: java.lang.NullPointerException. Ahy hints? [04:01] vegas all the way. [04:01] DozedOnLinux: well you can do something like sudo nano /var/log/apt/term.log so you can scroll around in there. [04:01] does anyone know that once you have ubuntu installed and your having problems with winxp if you can reinstall xp without messing up ubuntu [04:01] !grub | MrVampy [04:01] MrVampy: 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 [04:01] I meant "JRE" [04:01] MrVampy: You can, but you'll have to reinstall grub to the MBR (first link at that factoid, its real easy) [04:02] Can anyone help me switch over to the newer Intel video driver? I keep getting dumped into low graphics mode. [04:02] so i'd be better to delete the parition and reinstall both? [04:02] Nillerz: very odd... that looks like a problem with the router. keep in mind I'm no network guru though. [04:02] bluetide: there is a brand new intel driver that just came out today, use update to get it. [04:03] or just reinstall xp then reinstall grub [04:03] I think I need a test... but to do that I'd need to find another network, and the nearest one has to be at least 30 miles away... [04:03] Blaqlight, how can I tell which driver I'm using rightnow? [04:03] i just did an update on ibex and now my kb/mouse don't work - any ideas? [04:03] Nillerz: what coast are you on, rather, what time is it where you are? [04:03] Mecha25 and Pici - thanks -I cam to Ubuntu since there are more users and Ubuntu is based on Debian - and I know you are as (or even more helpful) - thanks anyway :) [04:03] !ubuntu+1 [04:03] Hardy Heron is the codename for the current release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS) You can get it now from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu but please use !torrents [04:03] codercotton: don't rely on beta software? kidding. [04:03] so i recently installed a box with ubuntu-server, and i'm looking to create a database in mysql, but i don't know the login credentials to make the table. should i use the user "mysql"? and if so, what password should i try? i already used "sudo passwd mysql" to set a password, but "mysql -u mysql -p" rejects the password i set. [04:04] MrVampy: no you should follow the directions from ubot3 [04:04] heh [04:04] I am 40 miles away from Buffalo and Rochester (exactly between them) on EST east coast [04:04] kk thanks histo [04:04] bluetide: no idea [04:04] MrVampy: follow the grubhowto link it will walk you through fixing your problem. [04:05] histo: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/34268/ took a while, with my mouse connected to ps/2 very fast scroll [04:05] Hello supporters, managed to crash my system nicely. I am running ubuntu 64 bit and I tried installing kde 4 however the operation failed. And in gnome on the top right right is a red sing with a white strip in the center. Error is Error: Broken Count > 0. How can I recover? I open APt-get program and do a partial upgrade and it returns that the kde 4 programs are the cause [04:05] codyt07: Error: Could not parse XML returned by Ubuntu: not well-formed (invalid token): line 336, column 84 [04:05] I tried to start Openoffice and my HD just spins. Ctrl-Alt-F1 shows ata1.00: status: { DRDY ERR } [04:05] histo : the x-gnome thing i believe is me changing resolutions as i cant see some"Apply" buttons without doing so [04:05] Followed by ata1.00: error: { UNC } [04:05] what does ubot3 mean? [04:05] bluetide: course that driver *could* be why I have a problem with world of warcraft now though. [04:05] Only app that causes this is Openoffice [04:06] ok, so it's 11. I'd say wait till tomorrow, then try to find another network. Stick around, see if it's stable. I don't know what happens every 5 to 30 minutes network wise, but I don't think it's your card [04:06] Blaqlight, that's OK, I have less than zero interest in WoW. [04:06] mecha25: I live in a county where cows outnumber people. I use a desktop. The monitor is a 20 inch CRT. [04:06] Nillerz: d'oh [04:06] bluetide: thats not the point. [04:06] Unlikely success is unlikely [04:06] what is the chat room for install help [04:06] bluetide: simple-ccsm quite working too [04:07] the upgrade messed up my gutsy gibbon server [04:07] ANy idea === patrick is now known as Guest11008 [04:07] i need help [04:07] Hey im getting errors "ata4 status DRDY; revalidation failed errno=-5, buffer i/o error on device sdb, logical block 0 [04:07] anybdoy know whtas causing it?

[04:08] Guest11008, what's the problem? you need to give specifics [04:08] ty5479: i/o errors are generally caused by corrupted media. [04:08] i had a gutsy gibbon server running fine [04:08] i upgraded to hardy today and it messed everything up [04:08] I just switched to a new optical drive, and a new HD. trying to figure out why my ubuntu was booting slow =( [04:08] does ubuntu support individual dual monitors.. or will it just mirror the desktop [04:08] Another unrelated problem: Try as I might I just can't get my screen resolution to the desired 2048x1536 which my monitor has as its native res. I could do it in XP no problem, nowhere close in Fluxbuntu [04:08] Guest11008, like what? [04:09] now my /var/www and my dpkg and my /var/lib/apt folders are gone [04:09] I'm doint a check for defects test right now. [04:09] I have an error 12 at boot [04:09] MrVampy, yes, but depending on the card, it could be a difficult thing to get working [04:09] ty5479: yeah thats the best thing [04:09] Mecah : ATI radeon x1300 pro v. card [04:09] Guest11008: is a reinstall an option? [04:09] if I can keep the info [04:09] i can't lose the info [04:10] MrVampy: yeah, it'll do dual monitors, but I'm on an ATI xPress 1150, and it took me 3 solid weeks to get dual screens working. it is possible though [04:10] Guest11008: you have a live CD, yeah? [04:10] yes [04:10] downloading it right now [04:10] Mecha : would prolly take me long as i'm still a newbie in linux.. and ubuntu.. [04:10] How come I can't configue XMMS? [04:11] mecha do you have any reference site.. i could use for that. [04:11] MrVampy: It works here, on a Sony netbook (8" screen) and externally on a 23" at the same time [04:11] Guest11008: boot from the liveCD, backup your stuff, reinstall, put it back. I (personally) don't trust in-place upgrades. but that's just me, if you want to fix it without reinstalling, I'm not sure how, sorry. [04:11] the fix for my problem is supposed to be reboot and remove the locales [04:11] but i cant even run dpkg --configure -a [04:11] to run a fix for the failed upgrade [04:11] it is a known bug that gutsy -> hardy freezes on generating the locales [04:12] what is the difference between duplexNoTumble and duplexTumble? [04:12] would it be easy to do if i was in ubuntu.. i'm tryin to fix winblows right now. [04:12] MrVampy: I can give you a dozen different links that all say they work, and all work for some people, but to be perfectly honest, to this day I still don't know how I got it working. I can give you my xorg.conf for reference, but that's about all I can do. Oh, and you'll need (or at least I did), Catalyst Control Center, and the Restricted Driver [04:12] Is there any way to find out exactly what device is SDB? I'm getting the error while booting of a live CD. Safe to assume its the Optical Drive? [04:13] MrVampy: it was not easy to configure for me, but I just did a Wipe install and the default works well here [04:13] I get checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables [04:13] whenever i ./configure XMMS, I would apt-get, but its not there. [04:13] name [04:13] Guest11008: if dpkg --configure -a doesn't work, in my expereince there's not much you can do. I had a hard reboot (power glitch) in the middle of a standard update (not even full distro) and I had to reinstall, there was nothing I could do. Good luck [04:13] ty5479, sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda [04:13] hmm.. [04:13] how do I change my name? [04:13] ty5479: run dh -f from command line. [04:14] surprisingly (or maybe not) i got a macbook recently and prefer ubuntu to mac os x [04:14] Mecha.. i may have to get the CCC and Restricted Driver from you while i'm in ubuntu.. so i can use my ati card to it fullest in linux. [04:14] MrVampy: But I am using a very, very wierd configuration with pretty much NO graphics chip (Intel onboard) [04:14] i am attempting to get the i2c modules to run for use of monitoring temps .. do i need to add them to xorg.conf? [04:14] blaqligh, what does that do? [04:14] MrVampy: the main reason it took so long is that you have to use Catalyst Control Center to get it working... but it's proprietary, and frankly a piece of junk. [04:15] ty5479: sorry wrong command [04:15] lp [04:15] 02310+ [04:15] 60501 [04:15] MrVampy: the trick is linking 2 monitor entries into one "screen" entry, and that into one "Device" entry in your xorg.conf [04:15] ty5479: df -h [04:15] it shows whats mounted and to what. [04:15] Mecha : would you say i'm better to just leave well enuf alone lol [04:16] okay cool. Thanks [04:16] Blaqlight; ty5479 you may be looking for sudo fdisk -l (that is a lowercase L) [04:16] DozedOnLinux: reading [04:16] MrVampy: if you're willing to spend 3 weeks at it like I did (and I did this when I was brand-new to linux too), it'll be worth it. but if that's too much effort, I'd skip it. it depends on you really, like most of linux. You get out what you put in, performance for effort. [04:16] EFG? In my #ubuntu? [04:17] Nillerz: Just doin' what I do best. [04:17] Do what you do best, EFG! [04:17] Already am Nillerz. [04:17] bastid_raZor: that too. [04:17] histo: i must have the original error logged, let me find it. but like i said. it seems to work fine now with noapic irqpoll. i can deal, just looking for hinters on irq/apic. i also have this log>http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/34269/ [04:17] Mecha : so its all bout gettin the CCC and restrictive drivers to do it.. and almost tricky it?

I must be doing something wrong, because it won't automatically convert m4a to mp3 on the fly for me. It just copies them as m4a, which my shuffle can't play. I googled for solutions, but oddly people say rhythmbox is supposed to do this conversion by default. Songs that were already mp3 format were copied correctly, but how do I make it convert [04:24] m4a? A dude in the rhythmbox channel said it was a HAL problem, but I don't know what exactly to do, and couldn't find the answer in their mailing list either [04:24] Mecha25, its not anything now, i was able to delete the partitions, reports free space now [04:24] Yes, but it is fairly good considering how young it is and promising considering how easy to use it is. [04:24] EFG, you mean MsSuse? [04:24] <[TiZ]> Here, I'll be more descriptive. When I try to mount it, it tells me there's an invalid character in the mountpoint. [04:24] Nillerz; songbird at its current state devours RAM in ubuntu too.. for gnome Rythmbox by default [04:25] iplaythisgame: are you trying to triple-boot? [04:25] belzebub: No, openSUSE. I couldn't use KDE apps in GNOME at all [04:25] for some reason [04:25] I dont think linux can compare to windows until you can play all the games on linux, that you can on windows. and linux is fairly complicated when it comes to installation of certain things. once it is more user friendly it will be the best, but until then, I will use my dual-boot. [04:25] bastid_raZor: yes I found that out too. [04:25] band4life: good for you [04:26] okay guys, I'm getting the following errors "ata4.00" status DRDY [04:26] histo: wow! /var/cache/apt/archives is loaded with all the installs i did, very nice. now, can those include current as well as previous, or just previous ?

I was actually getting these prior of attempting to go into a live CD. I watned to reinstall to correct the issue. But Im not sure what could be causing it. [04:26] Guest92397: I have ubuntu hardy and do not have the /var/www folder [04:26] ty5479: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:26] mecha25 you sound like ydgaf. [04:26] who's ydgaf? [04:26] !pastebin | ty5479 [04:26] ty5479: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [04:26] Mecha25, not now, i was gona resize the ubu to almost all of the disk, but keep a small partition in front so i could reinstall somethin if i had to and grub would be setup already [04:26] <[TiZ]> Where do I go to fix a mount point that I messed up in Nautilus? [04:26] mecha25 you dont give a #@%$ [04:26] oi... are there any current versions of bitchx? [04:26] [TiZ]; /etc/fstab [04:26] iplaythisgame: what file system did you want the partition at the front to be? [04:26] i went to bitchx.com / *org.. and nothing... they have been working on bitchx 2 for years [04:26] <[TiZ]> Is that for USB drives too? [04:26] Trying to get windows apps to run on linux is easier than running linux apps on windows. [04:27] is it possible to make the document viewer use all the default printer settings? i have it setup in the printers applet how i want it to print, but when i try to print with document viewer it changes half of the options and doesnt end up printing how i want it to. it also doesnt have all the options i want so i can't set it up correctly from in the document viewer [04:27] whats bitchx? [04:27] band4life: no, I care that my computer does what I need it to do. I don't care HOW, or WHO made the software, I just want it to work. I kinda like that [04:27] hi guys, im considering buying the acer aspire one netbook, does ubuntu play nice with it? [04:27] one last question [04:27] nillerz cant say i have ever tried to run a linux app on windows, but point taken. [04:27] yuri_, just google it! [04:27] blarg: use irssi [04:27] but I recommend dell or HP [04:27] blarg: use irssi or weechat [04:27] yuri: here, you'll like this: http://www.linux-laptop.net/ [04:27] If I were to compile something from source, where's the C:\Program Files\? [04:27] Mecha25: thanks [04:27] isnt that what all clients epic/bitchx ... where made off? do they have cool spiffy scripts for it? [04:28] Mecha25, dont really care, i have some of it as ext2 thats not the problem, its that i cant resize my last 40GB root partion over any of the first 40Gb empty where could i upload a ss? [04:28] where can I go to get help [04:28] and how would I add it to the GNOME menu? [04:28] dell supports ubuntu perfectly [04:28] yuri_: you can also check here [04:28] I need assistance [04:28] yuri: everything you need to put linux on a laptop: or you can use System76 [04:28] blarg: both do. [04:28] yuri_:  http://www.linux-laptop.net/ [04:28] <[TiZ]> bastid_razor, would you happen to know where to go to fix mountpoints for USB drives? [04:28] blarg: there are lots of perl scripts for irssi, but no it's not ircII [04:28] mecha25 dont get me wrong I LOVE linux, I just dont like that I cant play my games on it. And yes I have wine but it doesnt cut it. Some day linux will rule, and microsoft will be but a memory. But until then microsoft still wins the game sector. [04:29] <[TiZ]> Oh, and band4life: A lot of Windows games do-- hm. Okay, so you already know. [04:29] <[TiZ]> But what's your point? [04:29] wow - [04:29] band4life: I'm more of a Wii kind of guy. :-) [04:29] oh wait. acer aspire = linpus = FC8 [04:29] [TiZ]: /etc/fstab maybe [04:29] do psnup or psbind exist in the latest ubuntu packages? [04:29] band4life: get new games :D like tuxracer? [04:29] wheres the easiest place to upload a screenshot [04:29] ? [04:29] iplaythisgame: http://picpaste.com [04:30] <[TiZ]> Housefly7k, my iPod isn't in there. That's for static filesystems. [04:30] band4life: I disagree. Linux isn't designed to outdo or outsell windows. it just wants to be the best OS it can. if that means outselling microsoft, then so be it, but it's not going to get easier or better with that as a goal. if it does, it wouldn't be linux, at least not to me. Oh, have you heard of ReactOS? === Starnestommy is now known as sheep [04:30] iplaythisgame: deviantart.com [04:30] <[TiZ]> Mecha25 put it perfectly. [04:30] the open ati driver won't load on my laptop with the correct resolution, and fglrx hard crashes after the login screen, does anyone else have a problem with fglrx like this? [04:30] <[TiZ]> Lol@ReactOS. I don't think it's ready yet. [04:30] Mecha25, http://picpaste.com/Screenshot--dev-sda_-_GParted.png [04:30] mecha25 no, what is reactos? [04:30] [TIZ] thank you, thank you, I practice in front of the mirror every night :D [04:30] band4life: google it [04:30] <[TiZ]> band4life, ReactOS is Open Source Windows. [04:30] * meoblast001 is away: is_realy_not_away [04:31] also, the ubuntu netbook remix, is that good to go or is it alpha? [04:31] Mecha25, this is from inside the ubu install i know, but even in the livecd it wont let me move past the middle break [04:31] * meoblast001 is away: help_me_be_not_away [04:31] meoblast001 [04:31] grrrrrrr [04:31] type /back [04:31] oh! you have them in an extended partition, that's the problem! [04:32] [TiZ]: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=168221 maybe this link will help you [04:32] extended partitions are weird, you have to resize them before their contents, or somehting like that. I never did get it fully, I just messed around until my setup worked. [04:32] Mecha25, ok so how i fix without a /backupreinstall [04:32] iplaythisgame: try resizing SDA2, not SDA5 [04:32] reactos sounds interesting, but I would prefer it if linux could run windows software more fluently. [04:32] Mecha25, i dont think it gave me any options but i can look again. [04:32] whynot? [04:33] grrrrr i want to listen to music#@!%@! lol [04:33] band4life: then start hacking on wine :D [04:33] Mecha25, thanks at least i kinda know the prob now [04:33] iplaythisgame: better idea!! [04:33] ? [04:34] iplaythisgame: copy your sda5 to the unallocated space at the front of the drive, shrink it, add a swap partition, then scrap the second half. it'll keep everything, and once the second half is gone, you can resize everything to fit [04:34] the copy and paste buttons at the top of that screen are wonderful I must say [04:34] iplaythisgame: are you trying to use up that first unallocated 36.16 Gb ...by adding it to /dev/sda5 [04:34] mecha25 i can barely use linux as it is. I grew up on dos, and windows. and linux is a new language. but I can see the potential to take over the entire market. nothing is better than free, especially when it does everything anything else can do. [04:34] Mecha25, good idea [04:34] Housefly7k, yes [04:34] firefox question - when I use type to find and it brings up the quick find bar, f3 and shift-f3 don't work to find next/previous [04:34] how do i fix this? [04:35] band4life: it's potential, yeah, but it's not happening anytime soon. If it was going to, it would have happened long ago, in the .com boom. at least that's what I think [04:35] iplaythisgame: resize the /dev/sda2 extended partition first, and then you should be able to merge them [04:35] Housefly7k, thnks ill try [04:35] mecha25 why is it so hard to get windows software to run in linux? [04:35] How can I get Linux Firefox/Swiftweasel to let me use my mouse3 to make the same scroll thing it does on Windows? [04:35] hey [04:36] the same reason it's so hard to put Honda car parts in a Chevy, two whole different base systems [04:36] Indeph, enable autoscrolling ? [04:36] you mean where you press it down [04:36] and you get the circle with the arrows? [04:36] OK, wow!

[04:36] ty5479: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/231575 [04:36] mecha25 yeah, but the way i see it (which is like looking through a welding helmet) if wine can run one game, it can runemall [04:36] Malone bug 231575 in linux "ATAPI devices malfunctioning" [Undecided,Confirmed] [04:36] There we go, thanks [04:36] blaqlight: ok ok... rough analogy, you get the idea [04:36] looked at the back and it has onboard lan.

[04:37] band4life: think of it this way. there's 3 ideals: easy, cheap and good. you can't have all 3, only 2 [04:38] ty5479: is it a dvd burner or cd? [04:38] running Windows just because it has games, is like going to the shitty grocery store because they have the larger jar of pickles [04:38] Mecha25 that sounds a lot like the rule for girls [04:38] Attractive, single, mentally stable [04:38] firefox question - when I use type to find and it brings up the quick find bar, f3 and shift-f3 don't work to find next/previous. How can I restore F3/shift-F3? [04:38] !offtopic [04:38] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [04:38] windows is cheap and easy, but not too good. Mac is good and easy, but not too cheap. Linux is Easy and Good, but not Cheap. you can't win, but Easy and Cheap are usually more desirable than good in a market [04:38] whoops [04:38] linus is cheap and good, but not Easy [04:39] lol [04:39] Linux is not chea? [04:39] linux is cheap and good [04:39] but not easy [04:39] my typos suck [04:39] well [04:39] dexikiix: yeah, that's what I meant [04:39] Windows is 0 for 3 [04:39] It's humorous though.

[04:57] esac: then google for sources and try to compile, that's the only 2 tricks I know, other than going to Adept for KDE [04:57] wols: how important was the chipset question? [04:57] looks like no one wants to tangle with cd-r/rw not recognizable, huh?? [04:57] evo: very [04:57] RudyValencia: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto se section called GDM uses a different Resolution than my Desktop [04:57] evo: and I told you how to get the info [04:57] evo: lspci -nn [04:57] wols: is there a way to add a rule into nat table in prerouting chain? %-/ [04:57] How do you find a particular executable/script in the repository? (e.g. psbind) [04:57] wols: you sent that to me, not evo [04:57] wols: yeah, but I at least have to give the guy the benefit of the doubt. He could be just an overzealous parent like mine used to be [04:57] wols: using firestarter I mean [04:57] i didnt see that wols , sorry [04:57] fantomas: with iptables, sure. with firestarter: no clue. Do you use ipmasq? [04:58] Mecha25: still malware [04:58] Mecha25: you can be sure that when my girls start using the computer, i will be running 'malware' like this to log their actions [04:58] Mecha25: but theyve got a few years :) [04:58] fantomas: what do you use for your NAT? [04:58] hi everyone [04:58] wols: sis900 [04:59] general question: about a week or two ago, I downloaded the ubuntu live cd iso and burned several disks, none of which worked. I did the md5 checks and such, but still nothing worked and there was no reason for it (the linux kernel was failing to load). The cd I requested from shipit just got here, and it works perfectly. Has anyone else had similar problems? [04:59] hello what is the best torrnt client to use in ubuntu aside from transmission torrent? thanks [04:59] evo: that's supported by default. sudo ifconfig -a === debian is now known as Guest81704 [04:59] jigp, the two i like are azureus and ktorrent [04:59] Jasnation: define "doesn't work" for the md5sum stuff you did [04:59] im already root :) . and ive been using ifconfig to check [04:59] I don't have anything like that in my xorg.conf [04:59] legend2440: I don't have anything like that in my xorg.conf [04:59] ??? my windows partition would auto-mount on boot with ubuntu since i installed it about 2 months ago - suddenly now it's not mounting [04:59] evo: pastebin the output [04:59] why you like azureus and ktorrent? Guest81704? [04:59] it shows in the last of mounting devices [04:59] wols: I did md5 checks and they said the download was fine [05:00] wols: how? im not connected [05:00] you have a usb stick, floppies, etc? [05:00] RudyValencia: you have to add it [05:00] jigp, simplicity [05:00] how do i change my nickname rofl i forgot [05:00] wols: for DNATing [05:01] Guest81704: /nick newname [05:01] type /nick [05:01] jigp, plus ktorrent is light on the resources [05:01] fantomas: that doesn't answer my question [05:01] thx MrVampy [05:01] wols: from the ubuntu startup thing when the disk loaded, I tried to verify the disk or whatever but the linux kernel failed to load (the loading bar just gets stuck) [05:01] esac: I don't agree with you doing that, but hey, I'm not here to judge, I'm here to help. google for sources, that's about all I can recommend, you're not going to find software to do stuff like that built into ubuntu, that's just not something that tends to happen === Guest81704 is now known as debian_akroyd [05:01] there much better [05:01] wols: need to forward some traffic comming locally to another machine [05:01] fantomas: that is not answering the question. read the questions again and finally answer them [05:02] xmms oss.,, this shit is still around but bitchx isnt [05:02] wtf [05:02] 07:59 < wols> fantomas: what do you use for your NAT? [05:02] hmm [05:02] ??? my windows partition would auto-mount on boot with ubuntu since i installed it about 2 months ago - suddenly now it's not mounting.. it shows in "places" but i get the error "unable to mount the volume" [05:02] language...meh. [05:02] fantomas: what software? ipmasq? [05:02] blarg: use irssi [05:02] xmms is still around? wow. [05:02] how do you set startup services in ubuntu shell? [05:02] anyone here good with usplash? [05:02] Guest81704 ah for kde? im gnome [05:02] wols: I don't use software. I've come and ask - is there a software for this [05:02] blarg this is a disney g rated channel, please remember ;) [05:02] sorry [05:02] qweqweqwe: new ones or enable disable existing ones? [05:02] wols: you suggested using firestarter [05:02] so yah is enlightenment still around? [05:03] anyone remember xmms being based straight off of xlib? that was bizarre [05:03] wols, disable [05:03] gnome is kind of goofy [05:03] jigp, well ktorrent works in gnome [05:03] e17 will be out Real Soon Now [05:03] wols: I installed it and it lacks functionality which I need. [05:03] fantomas: for NAT? you already have NAT running so you did enable NAT somewhow [05:03] qweqweqwe: use rcconf [05:03] cheers [05:03] !info rcconf [05:03] rcconf: Debian Runlevel configuration tool.

[05:04] grrrrrrrrr [05:04] fantomas: if you want to portforward, you have to chnage the router(s) doing NAT for you. you can't change local iptables and expect forwarded ports [05:04] wols: more user friendly ) [05:04] ??? my windows partition would auto-mount on boot with ubuntu since i installed it about 2 months ago - suddenly now it's not mounting.. it shows in "places" but i get the error "unable to mount the volume" [05:05] rand0m: did you shut down or hibernate your windows partition the last time you used it?

[05:06] Mecha25, ahh ok.. is there a way i can fix it from here, or should i boot back into windows & then shutdown ? [05:06] fantomas: I told you what to do. changing your local iptables setup won't do a thing. you need to change the device doing NAT for you [05:06] wols: http://pastebin.com/d6779f5ea [05:06] rand0m: boot into the windows and shut it down properly, bet that fixed it [05:06] ex: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/harddisk [05:07] fantomas: whihc most likely makes it OT here [05:07] iplaythisgame, k ill give that a shot [05:07] wols: actually I expected to get working something like: -A PREROUTING -i lo -p tcp --dport 2802 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.0.6:2802 [05:07] rand0m: just boot windows and shutdown, that should fix it, easier than terminal hacking for me at least [05:07] wols: i ran that lspci -nn (bcm43xg) [05:07] * Mecha25 's jaw drops at fantomas's TCP/IP foo [05:07] evo: so you have eth0 which is probably your NIC and it has an IP. what doesn't work exactly? [05:07] iplaythisgame, you can still mount a windows partition even if it wasnt shut down proper, you just have to throw in the -o force [05:07] that looks impressive [05:07] i cant ping gateway [05:07] or get to the internet [05:08] nothing gets resolved [05:08] i used my gateway as the dns [05:08] fantomas: is your ubuntu doing the NAT? if yes, you can portforward. if no, no matter what you do it won't work [05:08] and also an outside dns [05:08] debian_akroyd: prolly easier for him though. or can u perma force? [05:08] evo: cat /etc/resolv.conf [05:08] hello anybody can help me i wanna conect with a switch is there any comand to do it, because with a point I used sudo dhclient and it worked but with a switch it doesn't work? [05:08] iplaythisgame, idk about the perma force ive only had that occur once [05:08] iplaythisgame: sure you can. if you want to corrupt data [05:09] wols: I simply need to forward traffic comming from local processes. Do they reach nat/PREROUTING? huh [05:09] wols: it shows the 2 nameservers i put in. but that still doesn't explain why i cant ping addresses [05:09] fantomas: since you don't do NAT: NO [05:09] fantomas: use a ssh portforward [05:09] in numerical format [05:09] anyone use usplash? [05:09] evo: it does if you can't reach either of them [05:09] try dell.com and see what i mean [05:10] does anyone know if my ralink 2500 USB supports wifi sniffing [05:10] hey guys, I'm new to ubuntu.

[05:11] dolo, probably because you do not have 'quiet' in the grub boot command line === jjones is now known as jsjones [05:11] Gustov: yeah, but the easiest way would be to install Hardy Heron and see if it works with that [05:11] dexikiix: why do you do that when ubuntu has a package for it? [05:11] can someone give me a hand here, i can login via ssh on my local lan, but as soon as i try to login through my aircard (outside lan) i get access denied after trying my password, i cant find anything in sshd_config that is only allowing lan traffic, any help? [05:11] Gustov: the newest version of ubuntu, generally better out of the box wireless support. they really worked on that [05:11] hardy heron? can I install that with a flash drive?

[05:26] Gnea: and it sucks almost as much as ircII [05:26] d'oh [05:26] dexikiix: yes. you need the .deb files === kat is now known as Guest15445 [05:26] mecha eggdrop [05:26] wols: ircII ruled back in the day [05:26] mecha25: where can i cheak if my sound card is in use... theres nothing else open [05:27] wols: ati X1400 [05:27] Gnea: I still have nightmares [05:27] * Mecha25 knows nothing about IRC bots [05:27] !fglrx | jsjones [05:27] jsjones: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto === patrick is now known as Guest48335 [05:27] wols: have you considered therapy? [05:27] okay viatechnologies.. I'm looking under pci no? [05:27] skrag, then nothing else should be using it. are you using Jack Control from Add/Remove programs? [05:27] do you want the number that follows? [05:27] who know what is the best OS for an EGG ? [05:27] mecha25 yeah [05:27] Gnea: compared to my other neuroses, this is a minor insignificant one. I guess I bear this emotional scar until I die [05:27] wols: no eth0 down log. just "media link off" i brought it down and back up a few times though at first [05:28] wols: I have all the restricted drivers and such, but I overwrote my xorg.conf and a bunch of other files when I updated [05:28] DJNeoUbuntu: something POSIX compatible [05:28] :) [05:28] lmao im going to use my MP3 player as a flash drive [05:28] like....? [05:28] wols: :) [05:28] like linux [05:28] Gustov: yes the number and the model [05:28] hello all [05:28] i have linux [05:28] In Nautilus 2.20.0, when I try to burn a CD, *EVERY* time it craps out with a message to say "lower the burn speed", but in nautilus I cannot find this bl**dy setting... anybody know where that is? [05:28] skrag: ok, go into the configuration pane of Jack Control, set everything to default, and pray. Worked for me, I've found everytime I touch something in that config pane, all heck breaks loose and nothing works till I reset it [05:28] how do i obtain mount privilges on a cd-r/rw device [05:28] evo: no eth0 up anywhere? [05:28] the bars on the top and bottom of gnome disapeared after i pushed the shutdown red button. I am running Hardy, and i just did an update (the problem started after the update). So two questions, are there hotkeys to switch desktops. How do i fix this problem. And amusingly my googling brought up this lovely gem of internet smartz http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=706866 [05:28] but what linux is the best? [05:28] didnt see it [05:28] evo: eth0: Media Link On 100mbps full-duplex [05:29] dont see that [05:29] evo: that's what my SIS900 says [05:29] !best | DJNeoUbuntu [05:29] DJNeoUbuntu: 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. [05:29] DJNeoUbuntu: that depends on what you want to [05:29] evo: cable problems [05:29] PCI bridge [0604]: via technologies, Inc. VT8363/8365 [05:29] hi all, my audio is working fairly well, except when I play ONE video, it seems to lock up my entire audio system (no audio plays during any videos or playing sounds files). For some strange reason audio still works for flash videos played through firefox. Any suggestions on how I can unblock the sound system without rebooting? [05:29] DJNeoUbuntu, a *BSD like OS may work as well. [05:29] Gustov: a pci bridge is no wlan chip [05:29] Gustov: thats better Gustov [05:29] [KT133/KM133 AGP] [05:29] Gustov: but my condolences for having to use Via [05:29] lol I got my laptop next to me now [05:29] much easier [05:30] wols: holy crap. i think youre right [05:30] Gustov: that is, if wols was looking for PCI -Bridge [05:30] evo: I usually are. remember, I'm a god [05:30] Dodger: I never had that problem until i installed Hardy. It doesn't happen in Dapper or Feisty, i don't think this has been fixed in hardy yet. [05:30] host bridge? [05:30] jsjones: so the ATI drivers are enabled in System>Admin>Hardware Drivers? [05:30] restart sound daemon? [05:30] Anyone know where the CD burn speed setting is in Nautilus? [05:30] Gustov: you are looking for network chips. nothing else [05:30] evo:.... you know, I hate when that happens. [05:31] i cant seem to find a screen capture program capable of recording my desktop while i try to play a game in wine...it records until the game starts...then its just a black screen where the game screen should be [05:31] legend2440: yes [05:31] Where do I obtain mount privileges on a device? [05:31] jsjones: do you have a GUI? e.g. is it using VESA or fglrx? [05:31] scribawf: sudo [05:31] Kernel: did you try xvidcap? [05:31] wols; Tnx [05:31] my_haz: yea. xvidcap istanbull cand capturemydesktop [05:31] running hardy and everything works beautifully, except the video on movie player, it looks grainy, using mplayer, while useing X11, Gl or GL2 there ir no prob, but the mplayer plugin in firefox also displays grainy image [05:31] jsjones: or is X barfing when you try to start it? [05:31] LOWER_CASE, /apps/nautilus-cd-burner in gconf-editor? [05:31] wols: gnome is working fine, using fglrx [05:31] *and [05:32] jsjones: does fglrxinfo say ATI or mesa? [05:32] test [05:32] evo i see you :) [05:32] jsjones: glxinfo then .pastebin the result [05:32] !test [05:32] Failed! [05:32] ok wols i got the .deb [05:32] hahahahahaha [05:32] evo: that's how you test :) [05:32] dexikiix: all 3? [05:32] hold on one sec [05:32] Gustov: Network / Ethernet / Wireless things like that try > sudo lshw -C network [05:32] Kernel: not sure [05:32] LOWER_CASE, there is a "default_speed 0" key. i think that is what you look for. [05:33] Gustov: that will narrow it down to just network [05:33] i only saw one [05:33] I am using i915 driver for Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 [05:33] ... [05:33] ndisgtk_0.8.3-1_i386.deb [05:33] my_haz: yea me neither...they all worked fine for just recording my desktop..but i was looking to make a few videos of my playing windows games in linux to show to friends... [05:33] wols: i accidentally unplugged the wrong cable in the mess of wires behind the server... [05:34] Gustov: basically needs something to identify with the chip your network card is using so as to get the correct driver if need be. some cards are blacklisted, in which they will not work unless you take them off. [05:34] dexikiix: that's nice but I told you to download 3 of the 4 packages listed on that page I gave you [05:34] evo: God bless you man, that must feel awful [05:34] gotta go, will look into it [05:34] Kernel: have you tried playing the games in non-fullscreen mode? [05:34] ohk [05:34] Gustov: without that information its like pick a single 4 leaf clover out of a pile of 10 million, hardly a chance to get the correct one [05:34] Mecha25: yea. im playing in "windowed" mode [05:35] i must have missedit [05:35] Kernel: have you tried turning off Compiz? [05:35] mecha25: well i guess ill just keep screwing with the settings for jack, by configuration pane you mean clicking setup when you start jack control [05:35] ndisgtk, ndiswrapper-common, and utils? [05:35] Mecha25: i dont use compiz [05:35] skrag: yep, and good luck [05:35] dexikiix: yes [05:35] Gustov: wols asked you that for a reason, if you want assistance, you need to supply the information they need, otherwise its a shot in the dark [05:35] sry [05:35] Kernel: odd... I don't do screen-recording stuff, but you can always just do printscreen [05:35] Mecha25: do i still have to disable something...even though i dont use compiz? [05:36] anyone else with grainy image on movie player? [05:36] went to network.. ethernet wasn't there... I think fiesty fawn was designed differently [05:36] let me try that command [05:36] Gustov: lspci -nn tells you everything you need to know in one small screen [05:36] Gustov: how are you on IRC? another computer? [05:36] yeah Mecha25: it does. [05:37] Gustov: pastebin the output of lspci -nn and we can see which chip it is ourselves [05:37] Anybody know a program that query's the firmware of a dvddrive in linux gui or console app [05:37] ? [05:37] * Mecha25 pats evo on the back. at least it work snow [05:37] Gymp: try lshw [05:37] usually the kernel tells you firmware versions [05:37] wols: did you write linux or something? how do you know all this stuff? [05:37] thanks wols [05:37] I'm impressed [05:38] lol mecha25 [05:38] another computer, yes [05:38] now you know of any flashers for firmware :P [05:38] yeah. i unplugged the cable from my xbox360(which had a dedicated nic in my server and received an ip through windows ics x.x.0.x), then plugged it into the nix box [05:38] I understand, sorta a noob to linux [05:38] so I'm checking all areas [05:38] Gustov: playing games with your head ? haha oh geez [05:38] Mecha25, hes probably linux certified [05:38] Gymp: don't exist. firmware flashers are always made by the company building the dvd drive.... and they don't do linux versions [05:38] well i was giving it a gateway of 2.1 when it was connected to an 0.x network [05:38] at most you get a DOS version you can use via FreeDOS on a CD-RW [05:39] Gustov: having fun ? as you havent supplied not one thing wols asked for. not good. [05:39] ethernet controller? [05:39] Gustov: can you download and burn a Hardy Heron CD from that computer, then install it on the broken one? [05:39] oh well. layer 1 ftw!!! [05:39] wols; got all 3, open with package installer? [05:39] Gymp: http://binflash.cdfreaks.com/ [05:39] will it erase all previous storage? [05:39] thanks legend [05:39] Im going to brb with more headaches. :D Thanks a ton guys! [05:39] dexikiix: sudo dpkg evo: np, you're a trooper [05:39] dexikiix: either you then have ndisgtk installed, or there is an error. if there is an error, please pastebin the FULL output [05:40] dexikiix: filenames of all 3 packages that is [05:40] For some reason when I am at home all the sudden i cannot access any external servers with SSH. I don't know what happened all the sudden, but it is frustrating. [05:40] sudo dpkg ndisgtk_0.8.3-1_i386.deb ndiswrapper-common_1.50-lubuntu1_all.deb etc... ? [05:40] what will the ethernet be called? Ethernet controller? [05:40] legend2440: does this binflash work for them all? [05:40] Anyone here who has gnome and is comfortable with teh terminal? [05:40] Gustov: you have two controllers probably [05:40] !anyone | K350 [05:40] K350: 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? [05:41] wols with quotes, and file extensions is what i meant to be asking [05:41] hey, your right [05:41] no quotes, with extensions [05:41] you're* [05:41] k ty [05:41] so which do I take? [05:41] the first or second [05:41] Gustov: both. just tell us [05:41] I have a marvell and realtek semiconductor [05:41] okay [05:41] one sec [05:42] Gustov: that's nice but both of these companies make wired and wireless chips [05:42] hello, can someone tell me how to install gnome on kubuntu with just the live cd [05:42] DozedOnLinux: why do you think he is trolling? [05:42] DozedOnLinux: and if you PM me one more time unasked I rip you a new one [05:42] realtek semiconductor co., ltd. trl 8139/8139C+ [05:42] Gustov: that's wired [05:43] I've to know what teh "Run file" applikation name is in gnome if someone could help me [05:43] dolo: wols please be nice and without threats [05:43] wols: no only NEC and Optiarc I have a NEC dvd burner and I used binflash to upgrade my firmware. it worked very well [05:43] then in quotes it says [1010ec:8139 [05:43] wols: there is no need for violence. [05:43] oh [05:43] okay [05:43] wols it needs an action [05:43] so the other [05:43] Cylinder1024: I tried "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart" and killing everything in "lsof | grep pcm" and still no sound [05:43] ? [05:43] it's a pretty simple thing to check so I'm just looking for someone who has gnome running [05:43] dexikiix: what action? [05:43] dolo: are you done pm'ing him?

[05:45] gnomefreak: i im'd once as it was off-topic, if that is a crime, you can keep it [05:46] wols: ok dpkg is done [05:46] Gustov: marvell w8300. use ndiswrapper. install ndisgtk [05:46] dexikiix: so now you have it installed [05:46] DozedOnLinux: its nice to ask before pm'ing users, some people hate to be pm'ed for seveal reasons [05:46] install ndisgtk... is there a link for that? [05:47] visually wouldnt i see a difference somewhere, wols?

[05:55] got that forcing ... twice [05:55] would 915resolution help maybe? [05:55] the thing is though is that when ever i try to get ndiswrapper to read the .inf... it tells me it can't find the file. [05:55] sudobash: supposedly that is obsolete now IIRC [05:55] is there something I need to edit on the terminal? [05:55] afternoon all :) [05:56] fez_: then maybe it's not there? [05:56] no... its def there. [05:56] I just got a new iphone and I can't get ubuntu to recognize it as a drive. It's not listed in /dev/, I have tried restarting HAL, is there something I'm missing? [05:56] gnomefreak, Strider`` was asking about installing from live cd... i was wrong. is still here. [05:56] its on the desktop [05:56] fez_ : alot of times, users go for the ndiswrapper way, when they dont really have to. most of the time a simple configure of the card is all that is needed. [05:56] !iphone [05:56] Factoid iphone not found [05:56] okay, I used the flash drive [05:56] lol [05:56] doh [05:56] put them on ubuntu [05:56] how would I do that then..

[05:57] yeah its the bcm [05:57] sudobash: eh, i think it depends more on you card... [05:58] dexikiix: iwconfig. if it went well your wlan device shows up there [05:58] can someone help me to install gnome on kubuntu with just the live cd [05:58] could you get vm XP to recognize the other monitor and display it? [05:58] dexikiix: then you can configure it with gnome network manager for example [05:58] not associated with an access point [05:58] yeah i think so... Intel sucks i know [05:58] :( [05:58] "only one software management tooll is allowed to run at the same time" [05:58] Gustov: you already have synaptic or somesuch running [05:58] Rohan, gnomefreak... :-" [05:58] but it does soh wait === KevinO is now known as chanbot [05:58] but do you think VM would be an idea?

[06:01] Rohan: internet access I mean [06:01] but i dont want it to install it from the net [06:01] yes [06:01] so just apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [06:01] no, my nets really slow [06:01] it'll take me ages [06:01] fez_ sudo modprobe ndiswrapper [06:01] ive the live cd though. can i install gnome from it [06:01] Rohan: no other way unless you donwload a ubuntu CD and that will take even longer [06:01] after you load drivers [06:01] ROhan... go to best buy and buy the cd [06:01] the Ubuntu Cd [06:01] FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-genericubuntu/misc/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko): Operation not permitted [06:01] ive the ubuntu cd...

[06:02] Rohan: add the ubuntu live cd to your sources.list and install from there [06:02] erm [06:02] i did with sudo after and it did nothng [06:02] top says: 1987196k used, 87468k free, but gnome-system-monitor shows 800MB are free. free -m corresponds to this estimate. (1) why the discrepancy? (2) should i only really rely on free -m to tell me how much free stuff there is? [06:02] can you give me the commands to do that [06:02] please? [06:02] say again, the first commands [06:02] Rohan: it starts with man sources.list [06:02] "downloading additional package files" [06:02] ok [06:03] wat?

[06:47] wols: i put it in "Documents" i cd's to Documents, i typed "dir" it didnt show up [06:47] chelz: Actually, if you are really, um...determined, just use 64-bit GCC and kernel [06:47] chelz: no. ALL libraries are binaries and to run 64bit programs all those libraries need to be new AND in the place the 32bit libraries are now. stop already there is no way but reinstall [06:47] sorry just changed from redhat to ubuntu [06:48] I think you need to trick apt somehow to use 64-bit repos before doing that [06:48] Dewente: that is a nonsense question [06:48] why Brucee ? === gary_ is now known as Guest21059 [06:48] im having trouble with the apt-cdrom add command. it says no cd mounted even when its mounted and ready [06:48] My computer doesn't can't seem to detect the internal modem [06:48] can anyone help?

[07:15] I've downloaded and burned an ubuntu iso.. thing is I've downloaded a few different ones and I deleted the ISO files after burning them... is there a way I can find out which CD is which version? === [MindVirus] is now known as MindVirus [07:15] LanceMartin: 8.04 has lspci installed by default [07:15] how do i make suspend and hibernate work on my hp laptop(having gutsy)? [07:15] teethdood: "sudo etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart" [07:15] sorin-mihai: I figured it out, built the kernel modules [07:15] bmarley13: put it into your sessions (system/pref) [07:15] brutus: you might want to upgrade to hardy, it made my suspend and hibernate woek out of the box [07:16] I can't get my sound to work again. I know it'll work if I restart it, but I'm looking for an alternative to doing that. I've already tried restarting Alsa utils. [07:16] lol wols are you ignoring me? [07:16] bmarley13: http://openswitch.org/2008/04/28/how-to-enable-emerald-in-hardy-heron-804/ [07:17] dexikiix, what is your issue [07:17] qinjuehang: I heard hardy had many glitches and bugs the developers seem to have overlooked... [07:17] anyone know another media server besides gnump3d? just had someone test gnump3d. very easy to hack, page wise. [07:17] qinjuehang: so i stayed with gutsy [07:17] !info mediatomb [07:17] mediatomb: UPnP MediaServer (main package). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.10.0.dfsg1-2 (hardy), package size 16 kB, installed size 96 kB [07:17] thanks [07:17] brutus: Um, I must be terribly lucky not to get bugged at all? [07:18] sorin-mihai: thanks though, I figured it out [07:18] Wols I am pretty rusty with linux ... if I type Ispci -nn ... I get command not found! Is there something dreadfully wrong or am I not reading it right. [07:18] can ubuntu livecd format to NTFS? [07:18] bazhang, i am trying to run modprobe ndiswrapper, syslog says i need a firmware file, so i got fwcutter, and im trying to install fwcutter but it is trying to access web during install [07:18] minimax, i'm glad ya did. :) [07:18] dexikiix, so attach a cable [07:19] qinjuehang: so you've had a better experience with hardy as compared to gutsy so far? [07:19] btw, hopefully someone changes that in the repository soon :) [07:19] bazhang, no cable to attach, no adaptor to attach to... or i wouldnt be trying to setup wireless :P [07:19] dexikiix, your laptop has no ethernet port? what year of laptop is this [07:19] bazhang, its not a laptop... [07:19] and where does the all downloaded material go when running livecd? [07:19] RAM? [07:20] Lartza8, i think it can. Try System > Administration > Partition Editor [07:20] bazhang, custom made PC... [07:20] brutus: 100%, but it could be just me. AT least neither hibernate nor suspend used to work, and now they all work, on both my computers [07:20] I don't understand : why do changes in Appearance Manager only apply to Nautilus and not Synaptic? [07:20] like when i apt-get something [07:20] Lartza8: /var/cache/apt/archives/ [07:20] sorin-mihai: but does it support ntfs [07:20] bazhang: netbook? :) [07:20] dexikiix; poorly crafted box then.. [07:20] wols: but is it physically stored where? [07:20] wols :) [07:20] dexikiix: you've got custom made probs ;) [07:20] Lartza8, in RAM [07:20] Lartza8: I just told you [07:20] qinjuehang: ok, thank you for the help [07:20] bastid_raZor, well wireless works well in windows, so i didnt care [07:20] wols: oh [07:20] sry [07:20] oh. livecd. didn't read that, sorry [07:21] yes, RAMdisk [07:21] hello what ip/port proxy program to install in the box so that i could use the proxy ip and port to my other machine by setting it manually on the firefox tools [07:21] and does gparted support ntfs on livecd [07:21] i think its 7.10 [07:21] i have both [07:21] 7.04 and 7.10 [07:21] jigp: why do you want a proxy? [07:21] Lartza8, yes it may suport it. but not really sure. just try it out... [07:21] Lartza8: yes it does [07:22] ok [07:22] So, I just upgraded to Intrepid Ibex (I know, bad idea); and now X is broken. I got (EE) Failed to load module "v4l" (module does not exist, 0) and the same error for vesa, followed by (EE) No drivers available and a fatal error. Help?

To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console. [07:22] red_: dpkg -l |grep xserver-xorg-video [07:22] Any real lightweight ubuntu-dist? (That can run on a 333mhz cpu with 32mb ram) [07:22] red_, #ubuntu+1 for that [07:22] Onerice: no [07:22] bazhang, i downloaded the file and moved it over to my ubuntu PC, is there a way i can make the deb know its local? [07:22] Onerice: the CPU is fine, the RAM is impossible [07:23] I see. [07:23] wols : i am not block in digg.com if i use my laptop. but if i use my desktop pc im block there. [07:23] /nick l337ing_Disorder [07:23] woops [07:23] Onerice: look at puppylinux, damnsmallinux === Scott_Johnstone is now known as l337ing_Disorder [07:23] you guys have been terrific help tonight. thank you all.

[07:24] jigp: local on the desktop that is [07:24] having troubles with a Broadcom BCM94311MCG, mini wireless pci card... tried ndiswrapper, and fwcutter, no avail, any thoughts, apart from recompiling ndis?

[07:25] I did the dpkg -l | grep xserver-xorg-video thing and it listed a whole bunch of video drivers. Also, how do you scroll back in irssi? [07:25] btw, has anyone at all run a Linux-Live version of Ubuntu or Debian? [07:25] wols : ok got it [07:25] i have a little question, my cousin use a @yahoo.com id but i dont think amsn support yahoo because i i dont even see online yahoo contacts i had. [07:25] red_, #ubuntu+1 for that NOT here [07:25] jigp: zone-alarm is useless. uninstall it for good [07:25] im asleep trying, lol dont know if that made sence [07:25] AV can work if you don't want to use your brain. sometimes. if you're lucky. on sundays [07:25] Boricua: Have you tried pidgin? [07:25] Boricua; pidgin may be a better route than amsn [07:25] ive never seen a write permission error for open office, it's saying some other user is editing my open office.. i use oo a lot for everything and have several sessions open .. but all me. how do i get rid of the error?
