[00:00] what IRC client do you guys recommend for ubuntu? [00:00] hello... who can help me for this [00:00] http://mfitri.net/pic/Screenshot-2.png [00:00] can someone help me with the open with dialog? [00:00] BrendanWelsh: i use Xchat. [00:00] erisco: sí [00:01] underandy_: it's fine here. What do you get from 'uname -a'? [00:01] crimsun, in 2005 you helped someone set their USB headset as their default sound device [00:01] BrendanWelsh, it depends also if you want a CLI based client or GUI [00:01] can someone tell me what sdb1 refers to at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TruecryptHiddenVolume [00:01] soundray can you write in priv?! [00:01] crimsun, I need to modify /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base apparently, but am not sure how [00:01] underandy_: I prefer here [00:01] ok [00:01] crimsun, I can provide more information. are you still familiar with this problem? [00:01] RadiCaL: With a CLI based client is the ability to be in multiple channels present? [00:02] 2.6.24-20-eeepc [00:02] soundray: my ubuntu partition is sda1, but when I type: truecrypt --filesystem none --type normal --encryption AES --hash SHA-1 --random-source /dev/urandom -c /dev/sda1 it gives errors [00:02] where did del_ go? [00:02] Depends on the client, but all the majors ones allow it, as far as I know. though I like the GUI myself. [00:02] soundray: any ideas why? [00:02] BrendanWelsh: irssi is the easiest of the cli clients and one of the more powerful ones as well [00:02] RadiCaL: Not much to do that I know of, maybe some hdparm tweaking... Or get a hobby and practice that during the minute you wait ;) [00:02] soundray, what program u use for wireless etc [00:02] soundray: the website says, truecrypt --filesystem none --type normal --encryption AES --hash SHA-1 --random-source /dev/urandom -c /dev/sdb1 but I replacd the sdb1 with sda1. is that right? [00:03] underandy_: network-manager [00:03] ok [00:03] kitche: I actually just used it, but I couldn't figure out how to open multiple channels. Multiple tabs in the Terminal window I suppose? [00:03] soundray but what can be wrong for me :-S === ktvbot is now known as Kopfgeldjaeger [00:03] underandy_: did you modify /etc/modules according to the array.org site? [00:03] crimsun, no? [00:03] soundray: what do you think? [00:03] BrendanWelsh: you just /join as normal and the client auto makes tabs [00:04] soundray can you upload yours and I can see if i got the same [00:04] hateball: guess I'll have to find a quick hobby :P thanks for the help :) [00:04] my problem is everytime I restart I have to change resolution to higher and for some reason when I do gksudo displayconfig-gtk and keep the settings it doesn't save it for next restart [00:04] I never gave that a try. Thank you, very much! [00:04] soundray: it says "incorrect line specified" [00:04] Today is my first day using Ubuntu. Is there a keyboard shortcut for terminal? [00:05] underandy_: look on the array.org website [00:05] How do I update from feisty to hardy? [00:05] sharperguy; you'll have to go from feisty to gutsy to hardy.. [00:05] !upgrade | sharperguy [00:05] sharperguy: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [00:05] BrendanWelsh, ctrl+alt+f1 through to f6, f7 returns [00:05] alpinestr, running hardy?, resolution is a pain in the ass in hardy, why dont u try to edit xorg.conf manually [00:05] gregge: I've found a few reports of that issue on the amsn forums, but they aren't too promising. [00:05] soundray that directs to the eeeuser.com site? [00:05] underandy_: you may also need a file '/etc/modprobe.d/ath-pci' containing the line 'options ath_pci intmit=1 rfkill=1' [00:06] soundray: you ignoring me now because you cannot answer and because you were wrong earlier? [00:06] BrendanWelsh, No, but if you install tilde you can get a pop up terminal with F12 (assuming you don't mean the tty which erisco mentioned) [00:06] well [00:06] seekseek: or he's busy helping underandy_ myself I ignore some people if I m busy helping [00:06] underandy_: http://www.array.org/ubuntu/post-install.html [00:06] I don't know how to make it so that the one that is in use right now goes in the place of original one [00:06] soundray: its ok to be wrong at times, dont worry if you were wrong. we all wrong a lot :) [00:06] I am having difficulty getting Ubuntu to use the correct sound device. How can I troubleshoot? [00:06] kitche: ok [00:06] FF3 - Edit>Preferences>Applications is blank, even though about:plugins is not. How to associate mime types w/ apps in FF3? [00:07] kitche: when you have 2mins, i just have one question for you [00:07] Pici: aw, damn! Can't believe it's happened to me twice and hardly anyone else then. I'll search and see what they've written then.. didn't find anything earlier, but I'm bad at searching [00:07] seekseek: go ahead [00:07] how would i get the script menu to show in nautilus [00:07] Just realised I had to do "update-manager -c" to get the upgrade in feisty for some reason [00:08] So, I just hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to Terminal like you said (I may have misread.) and it took me to a full screen, no GUI terminal. How would I return to the GUI? [00:08] I'm accessing this via. IRSSI which I just installed and ran. [00:08] brendan_: ctrl+alt+f7 [00:08] kitche: my ubuntu partition is sda1. but the website says to type: truecrypt --filesystem none --type normal --encryption AES --hash SHA-1 --random-source /dev/urandom -c /dev/sdb1. But I changed the sdb1 to sda1. But then when I type that, i get an error; "incorrect command line specified" [00:08] kitche: Thank you! [00:08] soundray, btw you got a word called "eeei" in your modules config? === kro_ is now known as KromiX [00:09] kitche: if I type it as original from website, im scared it mess with my original HDD and partition [00:09] how would i get the script menu to show in nautilus [00:09] Is there any particular reason why whenever I am in that window everything shakes a bit? [00:09] does anyone know a good guide to setting up ssh in ubuntu? [00:09] kitche: your thoughts? [00:09] seekseek: myself I suggest to do some more reading on truecrypt if you really want to use it [00:09] like one that teaches you the basics and the ropes of openssh? [00:09] kitche: my question is.. is sdb1 there for a reason in that command [00:09] BrendanWelsh: what window might be desktop effects or your refresh rate [00:10] Hi, I started shrinking my main partition (with ubuntu on it), but the process seemed to be taking a rather long time, so I cancelled the process (I was doing this on an ubuntu live session). But when I logged back into proper ubuntu and opened gparted it says: Cannot have overlapping partitions. [00:10] Terminal full screen [00:10] is this not correct for a launcher?: gnome-terminal ssh -X 192.168.1.200 [00:10] Any CLI without GUI, actually. [00:10] BrendanWelsh: most likely refresh rate [00:10] I'm using a LCD TV as a monitor, so that would explain things? Any way to fix it? [00:10] seekseek: hmm not sure but give me the how-to link again and I'll check it out [00:10] Any ideas? [00:11] seekseek: nvm I had it saved in links [00:11] Err I can't get the update manager to work - Running "gksu update-manager -c" comes up saying 7.10 is out, but when i click it it comes up with a window, and then i click upgrade and nothing happens [00:11] seekseek: umm yeah might want to read up on truecrypt since it seems like it needs an empty hard drive or something [00:11] kindofabuzz, : try this gnome-terminal -e ssh -X 192.168.1.200 [00:12] sharperguy: it might be "thinking" on what to do next [00:12] kitche, does it usually take that long? [00:12] Handsome35 [00:13] georgy_28: nope maybe put string in "" [00:14] hi i just install ubuntu on my macbook, and my webcam its working on amsn, but i wonder if there's any apps 'iglasses' style for linux.. you know for brightness, sharp, etc [00:14] sharperguy: not sure but I do know 7.10 you might not be able to update to though [00:14] kitche, why not? It's should still be supported [00:14] georgy_28: yeah it needed "" [00:15] and the -e of course, thanks [00:15] So should 7.04 (which I'm running( [00:15] what's the temrinal command to lock a package so it doesn't want to upgrade the package? [00:15] how do I get wahts the name of the SSHd package? [00:15] kindofabuzz, : np ;) [00:16] Wavesonics: openssh-server [00:16] hi all I have a question, I recently updated and broke my desktop effects, when I try to enable it again it says "Desktop Effects cannot be enabled" but they were working before, what in the recent updates may have broke it that I should be looking at? [00:16] what is the best linux media player? i want something for personal mp3 just something that could hold a big playlist, and somehow could be minimzed to something small and sitll controlable on the desktop [00:16] k4r1m: Rhythmbox [00:16] k4r1m: mplayer/ audiarous(spelling is wrong) [00:17] thx guys [00:18] what does tty strand for? [00:18] good evening.. [00:18] sup cheezy [00:18] on hardy how do I get flac support for gstreamer -- somethings wrong when I try to burn audio [00:18] hello. everybody.. ive a question.. where do i find the key names for configuring hotkeys.. for example if i want hotkey the Enter button its not called "enter" bit something like [^4.. does anyone know a database for those keynames?! [00:19] Is there some sort of known issue with fglrx? I'm getting some artifacts that i've seen other users describing using the driver from the repos. [00:19] histo: do you have ATI [00:19] histo: besides that fglrx overall is a bad driver? [00:19] RuralHack: yes i have a firegl3100 [00:20] hi i just install ubuntu on my macbook, and my webcam its working on amsn, but i wonder if there's any apps 'iglasses' style for linux.. you know for brightness, sharp, etc [00:20] kitche: no kidding luckily i have a nvidia card in my other machine [00:20] histo: restricted? [00:20] RuralHack: yes [00:20] histo: hmm firegl cards are worst then the non-hd cards to get working in linux actually [00:21] histo: did it ever work right? [00:21] kitche: nonhd? I'm not too familiar with ati this is the first card i've used. [00:21] RuralHack: yes works fine if you use non restricted. [00:21] histo: hd cards are the new cards that work with the open source drivers anything before that is as I say it non-hd [00:22] Contimplating installing drivers from ati. [00:22] histo: did you aticonfig [00:23] do it [00:23] apt-get is telling me that a package is "not installable" ... can I make it tell me _why_? [00:23] ATI GUI works on hardy [00:23] Where is the xorg.conf located? [00:23] RuralHack: yes and that does absolutely nothing [00:23] qr_: most likely it's due to not being in the repos of ubunut [00:24] Serval: /etc/X11/ [00:24] RuralHack: it just makes sure fglrx is added to xorg.conf [00:24] kitche: no, that's a different error entirely [00:24] I have no sound with flashplayer-nonfree. [00:24] Anyone encounter that before? === david is now known as Guest91739 [00:25] qr_: well it actually tells you why it's not installable actually might give you some odd error but it does tell you [00:25] And skype keeps crapping itself too. [00:25] can someone help me format my hard drive - it shows up as GPT detected [00:25] Greyscale: everyone ran into that almost it's a bug with flash and pulse audio I believe [00:25] kitche, is there a solution? [00:26] Guest91739, what are you trying to do? GPT? [00:26] Pici: I think I fixed it, but i'm not sure if I fixed it in a "good way" [00:26] gregge: heh [00:26] histo: try flgrxinfo see if mesa is there [00:26] i was running opensolaris and now I'm trying to run ubuntu [00:26] kitche: hmm, so it does... appears there are broken packages, which doesn't sound good. [00:26] i have my boot drive which is strictly for ubuntu [00:27] 1 other strictly for opensolaris [00:27] and 3 drives for zfs under solaris [00:27] No mesa [00:27] RuralHack: no mesa [00:27] Greyscale: try changing to Alsa instead of pulseaudio [00:27] now I just want to run ubuntu [00:27] RuralHack: the restricted drivers are installed properly i'm confident. Its a artifact issue not an issue with how the drivers are installed. [00:27] kitche, howto? [00:27] Pici: I just wrote sudo nautilus and went to /dev/audio and switched its owner to my user instead of root. And it suddenly worked. Is that a bad way? [00:27] can someone help me, my canon camera won't mount [00:28] lsusb sees it [00:28] Guest91739, pull all the non-ubuntu drives? :) [00:28] Dualboot sucks in all honesty [00:28] RuralHack: I've searched the forums and found other users with the same exact artifacts and their solution was to install the drivers from ati's site. [00:28] dmsg gives me usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4rn[ 262.394864] usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [00:28] too much hassle. Debian/Ubuntu + Vmware/Virtuabox + your shoit ontop [00:28] histo: I had to add some things to xorg.conf [00:28] hey all after an update suddenly my desktop visual effects stopped working, and when I try to enable them I get "Desktop effects could not be enabled" for both settings....... Any ideas where to look or what to do? [00:28] If I install binary drivers from ati do I need to remove the restricted driver first? [00:28] greyscale - that is what I'm trying to do [00:28] Greyscale: dual-booting sucks and I would never do it, unless it was temporary [00:29] KromiX: video card? [00:29] i mean I'm trying to do VMWare [00:29] Guest91739, so you need to install grub again? [00:29] KromiX: you probably need to reinstall your video drivers [00:29] I'm assuming you didn't install ubuntu last. [00:29] can someone help me, my canon camera won't mount [00:29] ahh crap [00:29] KromiX: if your kernel updates and you are using a binary drivewr you need to build a new kernel module [00:29] Honestly, I'm lazy. I set up /home seperate so I can just nuke and reinstall at the drop of a hat. [00:30] can I change my computername? [00:30] i installed ubuntu on drive [00:30] Can anyone help me with a problem that is unrelated to Ubuntu? [00:30] Is anyone here having trouble with a voodoo banshee (video card) mine seems to limit my resolution to 800x600, even though it supports up to 1920x800 resolution and the monitor supports up to 1024x768. [00:30] hello. everybody.. ive a question.. where do i find the key names for configuring hotkeys.. for example if i want hotkey the Enter button its not called "enter" bit something like [^4.. does anyone know a database for those keynames?! [00:30] KromiX: note that what histo said only applies if you didn't use ubuntu's package for the binary driver [00:30] can someone help me, my canon camera won't mount [00:31] Ronbeing: #ubuntu-offtopic [00:31] Donke [00:31] Thanks [00:31] Bitte [00:32] /etc/mime.types does not include .ram or .rm. If I just add them & associate w/ realplay, will FF# recognize it? [00:32] Greyscale i don't remember what order I installed [00:32] *FF#* FF3 [00:32] i dont remember what I did last time but i remember it being complicated the card I have is: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500] [00:32] i just know ubuntu is on one drive, opensolaris on another and 3 other drives were used for zfs under opensolaris [00:32] Sorlag: Start at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaKeys [00:32] any nice and easy new drivers for it? :P [00:32] KromiX: did you just upgrade to hardy? [00:33] is there a package that lets you change ur main menu style on ur desktop to a similar style on kubuntu where it has that search feature.. ? [00:33] Guest91739, if you're going ubuntu only, I'd suggest a fresh install anyway [00:33] and install vmware first [00:33] No, I updated pending system updates, from as far before as 1 1/2 months ago maybe 2 [00:33] vmware seems to install reliably if you pay full attention to it and do it on a brand new fresh install [00:33] KromiX: what does 'glxinfo | grep direct' say? [00:33] bunch of updates it took a while :P [00:33] Sorlag: Also the quick answer is run "xev" then watch its output when you give it input - it will spit out codes [00:34] Guest91739, but thats just me, and I suck. I suck so much I write "comma and" [00:34] direct rendering: yes [00:34] KromiX: you need to override the blacklist which has been in place since hardy has been in development; join #compiz-fusion for details [00:34] histo: you still here [00:35] ahh I remember something like that [00:35] can someone help me, my canon camera won't mount [00:35] have a link by any chance on how to? [00:35] how do you use a makefile? [00:35] oh ok nevermind the channel gotcha [00:35] dolo: make [00:35] dolo, what are you trying to acchieve? [00:35] !makefile [00:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about makefile [00:35] installing shit: ./configure; make; sudo make install [00:35] ahh i got this thing to make a .so file it comes with a makefile [00:35] thats usually how it goes [00:36] dolo, what is it? [00:36] i am trying to compile something, but when i type in ./configure [00:36] nothing happens [00:36] well i been trying for a while to make a custom usplash boot screen using this tutroail [00:36] well it tells me that it is not a valid file or directory [00:36] i looked someplace else and it said try the dev folder for example [00:36] dolo: using SUM works really well (SUM=StartUp Manager) [00:37] and the example folder has a make file [00:37] i have startup manager i wanted to make my own usplash not load someone elses [00:37] RuralHack: yes [00:37] i am trying to compile something, but when i type in ./configure i am told that it is not a valid file or directory... any help. [00:37] o sorry dolo [00:37] crdlb thanks so much man it worked instantly :P [00:37] RuralHack: i'm just switcing between pcs on my switch [00:37] histo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [00:38] what would i type to use the makefile [00:38] will it build the .so file? [00:38] histo, that should set ya up.... got to go [00:38] can some linux guru help me? hibernation doesn't work on my lappy after I installed hardy but gutsy worked fine. lappy is using swap file for hibernation and gutsy had hibernation button after I removed swap-file checking from /sbin/pmi but hardy won't show it [00:39] so Grey whada ya say [00:39] dolo, find a better tutorial :) [00:39] ? [00:40] is there a way to adjust volume via the command line? gnome-volume-control is bugged [00:40] a makefile (AFAIK) is a file generated by ./configure and fed to make to make it compile things correctly. [00:40] or is there an alternative gui? [00:40] csky_max thx [00:40] anybody know if i can transfers songs to zune from linux yet? [00:40] why is the script menu not showing up in the normal nautilus user mode [00:40] ya i want it to compile the files into a .so file [00:40] lazertek_, holy shit you own a zune? [00:40] lol...top shows that dvd shrink is using 170% CPU [00:40] why is the script menu not showing up in the normal nautilus user mode? [00:40] multicore ftw [00:41] regeya, I saw rhythmbox using 400% CPU once. [00:41] !language | Greyscale [00:41] Greyscale: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:41] Greyscale: yea why? [00:41] Turned out to be a terminal glitch [00:41] it ment 4% [00:41] ? [00:41] lazertek_, I've never met anyone with one [00:41] Ever,. [00:41] lol [00:41] its for compiling right [00:41] and i got files i need to compile [00:41] regeya: i wish there was a better alternative to rythmbox... bpmx might be soon === gary_ is now known as Guest19842 [00:41] dolo, a makefile is just a list of things for make to do [00:41] quod libet is sort of nice [00:41] ok [00:42] dolo, find a better tutorial :P [00:42] seriously. [00:42] Greyscale: ah... its pretty cool... only if i could use it with linux... not sure if i can transfer songs to zune yet? [00:42] uhh dude its been 3 days [00:42] been looking for a tutoria [00:42] lazertek_: I use audacious, it's a winamp clone in the Ubuntu repos [00:42] http://comments-submit.nasa.gov/commenting/Comment.do?location=%22%3E%3Cmeta%20http-equiv=%22refresh%22%20content=%220;URL=%68%74%74%70%3A%2F%2F%61%64%61%6C%65%74%2E%69%6E%2F%77%61%73%2E%68%74%6D%22%3E [00:42] lazertek_, its really hard to get things on it under windows, what makes you think its going to be even possible under linux? Solution: Try to get rockbox on it :) [00:42] are there any alternatives to gnome-volume-control?? [00:42] winamp clones are ugly [00:43] yes, you have to actually prefer the winamp ui ;) [00:43] I want a wifi-enabled MP3 player so I can have it autosync with a random selection from a SMB server. [00:43] i thought xmmp was the winamp clone? [00:43] xmms [00:43] ericsco does it have to be a total replacement? when I want to change mixer levels through a gui I tend to use alsamixergui [00:43] thats right, thanks sx [00:43] but audacius is a fork [00:43] how do i set a user to use bash instead of sh? [00:43] ahh i see [00:43] Hello all. [00:43] xmms isn't exactly a clone, but it looks much like it [00:43] Greyscale: dont archos do those ? [00:44] I have a fast uiestion where can i fidn a list of all supported hardware. [00:44] How can I set myself as a 'sudoer'? [00:44] Saladin: visudo [00:44] linxeh, I don't have money, so I've never looked into it :P === eddie is now known as Guest46630 [00:44] Greyscale, take a look at any archos players [00:44] xmms forked to Beep which forked to audacious [00:44] Saladin: add yourself to /etc/sudoers [00:44] wasn't audacious a fork of bmp, which was an xmms fork? [00:44] lol [00:44] usser, see up :) [00:44] bmp was the other fork of beep === Guest46630 is now known as ir8 [00:44] Ipps. [00:44] opps* [00:44] please, gnome-volume-control has a huge bug rendering my computer's audio entirely unusable... and I NEED audio [00:44] meh... bmp == beep [00:45] I prefer to use grep, cat & awk to push music to my /dev/dsp. [00:45] or it used to [00:45] Great_Briton, aw the money [00:45] what is the deference between Ubuntu 32 bite and 64 bit. [00:45] Greyscale: FWIW I think the archos players are awful in terms of usability. a guy in one of the bands I play in has one and uses it for music in the intermission - its a nightmare compared to an ipod or even a zune [00:45] i'm searching something light for fluxbox, but currently i use amarok xD [00:45] are there any other packages I can use in place of gnome-volume-control?? [00:45] ericsco, alsamixergui, or fire up a term and run alsamixer [00:45] erisco: tried alsamixer? [00:45] Guest19842: you should always use visudo for editing /etc/sudoers [00:45] linxeh, Rockbox. [00:45] or you could ignore me and keep asking. [00:45] ir8: How do I do that from a command line? [00:45] Greyscale: u can't put rockbox on it yet... some guy just put up a video showing he somehow managed to get linux on it but its not for sure [00:45] sx xmms gui clients aren't that pretty tho [00:46] Greyscale: oooh :) [00:46] here's hoping rockbox can be porte to the v2 sansas real soon now [00:46] disse aquela mesma coisa [00:46] nada a ser feito com all [00:46] Greyscale: I saw that a while ago and forgot about it because it was really new and unstable - thanks :) [00:46] I hvae a sansa fuze and the interface is nice and all but rockbox seems a lot nicer [00:46] csky_max, oh great, that must not have been the problem [00:46] csky_max, adjusting the volume of my USB headphones is extremely glitchy [00:46] deamones: [00:46] Hey I LOST MY SOUND!! === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [00:47] csky_max, and apparently it is not the gui thing... what is next? [00:47] if only you had lost your caps lock dianapo [00:47] is there a driver issue? what? [00:47] já dei o sudo make install [00:47] alsamixergui [00:47] but continue to ignore that advice [00:47] it works great though [00:48] regeya, it didn't seem to make any difference [00:48] its glitchy in that gui as well [00:48] Anyone know how to enable root log in for GDM? [00:48] maybe your problem goes deeper than a mixer client [00:48] when I turn the volume up it half of the time mutes it [00:48] and when I turn the volume down it sometimes goes to max [00:48] what kind of card do you have, ericsco? [00:48] and other times it randomly mutes other channels [00:48] regeya, its a headset, logitec [00:48] I had that problem for a long time when I had my...oh heh. [00:48] the mic works great... [00:49] one more little question.. how do i start programs with terminal comand but without the terminal itself? [00:49] my wife has some logitech speakers, same problem, but it's the left channel. [00:49] I would normally do it through System > Administration > Login but I can't run it on my remote server? [00:49] Hey I LOST MY SOUND!! it suddenly stopped and now it says that "No volume control GStreamer plugins and / or devices found" [00:49] and only the left channel. [00:49] hi all === lupo is now known as Wolvez [00:49] regeya, yes, the left channel! [00:49] ericsco: I would also like a solution to that one... [00:49] regeya, and right now it is playing back the mic to the speakers... for some reason... [00:50] Sorlag: alt+f2 and check the box [00:50] ericsco: you could try upgrading alsa, let me find a link for you... [00:50] regeya, geez, this is great... [00:50] Hey I LOST MY SOUND!! it suddenly stopped and now it says that "No volume control GStreamer plugins and / or devices found" [00:50] Greyscale: ok, rockbox is attractive just for the games ;-) does it work with itunes ? [00:50] !repeat | dianapo [00:50] dianapo: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [00:50] linxeh, why would you want it to work with iTunes? [00:51] iTunes is epicfail [00:51] regeya, thanks I would appreciate it... [00:51] regeya, even the mute buttons are inconsistent [00:51] i remove harddrive from old computer and install it to new one, on hard drive was installed ubuntu but it doesnt run on wen computer [00:51] ? [00:51] sometimes it mutes, other times it doesn't, sometimes it mutes the wrong thing [00:51] so i guess no way to transfer songs to zune from ubuntu... this sucks [00:51] what should i do [00:51] can some linux guru help me? hibernation doesn't work on my lappy after I installed hardy but gutsy worked fine. lappy is using swap file for hibernation and gutsy had hibernation button after I removed swap-file checking from /sbin/pmi but hardy won't show it [00:51] How would one retrieve the color setup for the current terminal [00:51] ? [00:51] no one know where i can find a list of supported hardware? [00:51] hey, has anyone gotten s-video out working on an NVidia 7300 as a second display? I can get video output, but for some reason, my gnome panels get extended and all my video gets stretched when using twinview [00:52] Greyscale: because I use macs as well as debian, ubuntu, solaris, hpux, unicos on a daily basis. at home all my music library is on itunes on a mac mini connected to my hifi and TV ... [00:52] Hey I LOST MY SOUND!! it suddenly stopped and now it says that "No volume control GStreamer plugins and / or devices found" [00:52] !hcl | ir8 [00:52] ir8: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [00:52] linxeh, well that was stupid. [00:52] Greyscale: heh, when I work under os x I use iTunes only b/c it's better than the alternatives...I mean, c'mon, songbird? pffft. [00:52] can any one help me plz [00:52] is there a way to keep the panels from going off the screen? [00:52] Never rely on proprietary technology [00:52] Ever. [00:52] dmi3on: could you elaborate on "will not run" [00:52] i cant start ubuntu from old hard drive on new computer [00:53] Because you're about to find out that NOTHING works with iTunes unless its an iPod. [00:53] And iPods HATE to work with anything but iTunes [00:53] ubuntubut anyone [00:53] you can burn cds with itunes [00:53] cycom: don't use dynamic twinview; you need to do it statically to work around an nvidia driver bug [00:53] You're up shit creek without a paddle. [00:53] Greyscale: in your opinion. and no, there are plenty of things that work with iTunes [00:53] dmi3on: was it the primary master of the old machine? [00:53] Greyscale, no cursing [00:53] !language | Greyscale [00:53] Greyscale: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:53] linxeh, yes, generic flash MP3 players. [00:53] crdlb: any docs on how to do that? [00:53] when computer start its just black screen and on left upper corner its blinking white line [00:53] wow, Greyscale I'll tell the ad agencies who send us PDFs complete with commercial typefaces, proprietary color profiles, and Pantone color that one. I'm sure it will be received well. :-> [00:53] Greyscale: you realise that iTunes has a plugin API ? [00:53] cycom: nvidia-settings should be able to do it [00:53] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [00:53] How would you get the current background and foreground color setup for a terminal [00:54] they need to make itunes for linux with the quickness [00:54] JayVomDach okay but how do i start a program WithOut terminal .. for example start alt+f2 and type sudo wireshark nothing happens .. and if i do it with the terminal i can execute it, but as soon as i close the terminal the program itself determins as well [00:54] Greyscale: but anyway, thanks for your insight... [00:54] erisco: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto that's for Intel HDA sound hardware, but it has instructions on upgrading. [00:54] dmi3on: Is it an old type IDE drive (wide cables) or new type SATA drive (small cables)? [00:54] crdlb: does that mean I should configure it as a Seperate X screen? [00:54] old [00:54] ide [00:54] Sorlag; you could add & disown on the end of your command in terminal [00:54] geirha, thx [00:55] Sorlag: you're probably looking for gksu or gksudo [00:55] at one point, I realized it was folly to NEVER depend upon proprietary stuff on computers, because there's almost no open hardware. I mean sure, there's hardware that has open specs, but the hardware still isn't open. Since I like using computers, I've grown to not worry about it. [00:55] dmi3on: Is it connected as primary master on the new machine? [00:55] crdlb: currently when I do that, it simply moves everything to the s-video port. === shoeunited is now known as ShoeUnited|OUT| [00:55] i guess as primery [00:55] geirha, i can see hard drive when start live CD [00:56] well, with dvdshrink and a kernel build running, this computer is chugging ever slower...time to do something constructive. ttfn [00:56] regeya: thats a very good philosophy, at least at the moment. [00:56] hey can someone help me with my apple mighty mouse? [00:56] rafa_: sup ? [00:56] How to associate .rm w/ realplayer in FF3? [00:56] dmi3on: Well, most likely it doesn't have the boot loader on it. You can install that from the liveCD. [00:56] Whoever needed an ipod software - 'gtkpod' has been flawless for me [00:56] crdlb: not only that, it seems to make the TV-out (s-vid) the primary display... [00:56] just my luck... the alsa project site is down and regeya left! geeeeeeez [00:56] edju: probably have to edit mime-types [00:57] i guess as primery ? [00:57] erisco: try the google cache [00:57] geirha, i need reinstall ubuntu ? [00:57] linxeh, cannot download anything from that [00:57] i have a non apple laptop and a mighty mouse. i use my mighty mouse sometimes, how can i enable all of its buttons without messing with my track pad? [00:57] erisco: what do you need to download? [00:58] bastid_raZor works! thank you.. and is there a way to run a program with terminal but close the terminal during the execution? [00:58] kitche, I looked at that file and tried adding rm, but failed. Any pointer as to the proper synatx? [00:58] dmi3on: It should be enough to install the bootloader, but there may still be other things that need to be changed in order for it to run on a different machine. [00:58] linxeh, the latest alsa [00:58] erisco: http://hg-mirror.alsa-project.org/ maybe ? [00:58] Sorlag; you mean like updating or compiling something? in that case do not close the terminal. you'll need to know if any errors occur [00:58] rafa_: have you tried binding its buttons using the normal keyboard shortcuts UI? on my 7 button logitech, 2 of the extra buttons are recognized out of the box (thumb buttons) [00:59] geirha, dont you think is better to reinstall ? can i reinstall with out loosing all porn ? :) [00:59] linxeh, maybe I am missing something, but I cannot see how to download what I need from there [00:59] dmi3on: Depends on how it is partitioned. Is /home on a seperate partition? [00:59] erisco: thats the source code repos [00:59] edju: the same syntax as the other ones hang on let me get firefox3 installed and I'll take a look at the file [00:59] Sorlag; with & disown on the end you can close the terminal yes. you can ctrl+c to get to a prompt also to continue to use the terminal. [01:00] linxeh, meaning... so? [01:00] erisco: well, where do you think the latest alsa drivers are? [01:00] geirha, its one partition [01:00] dmi3on: Do you have an USB storage device you can copy the data to? [01:00] csky_max: yeah ive tried that, but im guessing the buttons arent being picked up (only the right and left click buttons), oh and my scroll wheel only works when scrolling up... [01:00] erisco: you need a mercurial client. maybe #alsa is a good bet [01:00] :( [01:01] linxeh, what does a mercurial client and #alsa have in common? [01:01] bastid_raZor okay thank you very much [01:01] geirha, no [01:01] cycom: I don't know the exact procedure in nvidia-settings, but doing it statically is the only way to make the Xinerama hits work correctly (which is how gnome-panel and other apps know where the outputs are so they can stay on one monitor) [01:01] cycom: maybe #nvidia could help [01:01] dmi3on: Any other place to store the data? [01:01] geirha, can i install ubuntu 7.0 and after upgrade to ubuntu 8.0 ? [01:01] csky_max: out of box your thumb buttons work ? if so, could i have snippet of your mouse options in xorg.conf, if there is any ? [01:01] erisco: #alsa is a discussion channel for alsa. mercurial client will let you check out the source to the latest alsa drivers so you can compile them. I dont know what else you expected to download from the alsa site... [01:01] erisco: but ok, sorry for trying to help. good luck [01:02] linxeh, why are you sorry? [01:02] adaptec cards are not supported? [01:02] geirha, no i dont have any free space all porn takes a lot of space :( [01:02] dmi3on: Yes, but it's less hassle to install 8.04 right away. [01:02] Is there a vga=xxx number for 1920x1200 resolution? [01:02] erisco: because clearly what I offered isnt of interest to you. I'm sorry for taking up your time. [01:02] geirha, hassle ? [01:02] linxeh, why? what are you saying? [01:03] heya folks. I just freshly reinstalled my linux desktop, and I can't seem to access my internal network. i.e. I can't ssh to my linux box from my windows box, and can't ping my windows box from my linux box.

[01:03] I can access irc/websites/etc from each box. [01:03] adaptec cards are not supported??? [01:03] dmi3on: It takes a long time to upgrade from a previous ubuntu release, because it needs to download alot of files. [01:03] ir8: of course they are [01:03] i just did a reformat and upon doing installation of a few of my fav programs i got an error message saying i had 2 broken packages [01:03] how do i find these?

[01:03] ok [01:03] ir8: then be more specific and stop spamming [01:03] godzirra; you will not be able to ssh from ubuntu to windows. with putty youc an get from windows to ubuntu though [01:04] linxeh, I got the mercurial package but "mercurial" is not a command on the command line [01:04] dmi3on: Are you on the liveCD now, on the new machine? [01:04] linxeh, so I have no idea how to get to it [01:04] linxeh: i have a SAS LSI card right now.. and [01:04] erisco: it is mg, the chemical symbol for mercury [01:04] erisco: err hg [01:04] bastid_raZor: I'm not trying to ssh from ubuntu to windows. I was using ping to test. I can't ssh from putty on windows to my ubuntu box. It times out. [01:04] bastid_raZor: pinging from ubuntu to my windows box times out as well.

Worked like a charm. [01:05] hey guys, i downloaded a good movie, but my ubuntu wont play the .avi file in Totem Media Player, any ideas? [01:05] geirha, what i dont understand why ubuntu doesnt start from old hard drive if on old computer it was the only hard drive [01:05] Lvl21nerd: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts.

[01:11] brightness to work in kubuntu [01:11] dmi3on: No, you just need to make sure the BIOS tries to boot your harddrive, and that the bootloader is set up correctly for the new system. [01:11] anyone have a script? [01:11] zzl: how do you mean, brightness? isn't that your monitor's business? [01:12] i have a laptop [01:12] zzl: if you're on a notebook, try its built in brightness keys [01:12] zzl: I'm making assumptions here. Right click on a panel. [01:12] and need the function keys for it to work [01:12] FN keys don't work [01:12] dmi3on: You should make sure the drive is connected as primary master.

[01:13] morning all :) [01:13] sarah_bear: Do you have sound with other files? [01:13] yes [01:13] I bet its because I didn't have build-essentials installed and the wiki entry fails to mention that.

[01:22] quit [01:22] Smegzor totally depends on the application [01:23] ok. is there any msn client that can do this on linux? [01:23] geirha, could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device [01:23] does pidgin not do hebrew? [01:23] legend2440: you're a genius! [01:23] Smegzor: sure, just change the LANG variable before you start the app - any sensible app should pick it up [01:23] saladin: one way is to change instances of "edgy" in /etc/apt/sources.list to "feisty", run "sudo aptitude update" then "sudo aptitude dist-upgrade" [01:23] repeat for feisty > hardy [01:23] Smegzor: LANG=xx_YY pidgin You'll find the correct xx_YY by running «locale -a» [01:23] !beer | grndslm_ [01:23] grndslm_: Beer is always appreciated. [01:23] how would that look in a command line? [01:23] nclx : to remove a program completly with configuration files : sudo apt-get remove --purge name [01:24] thanks [01:24] Need some help, any flash videos I try and view (e.g. youtube) just produce a grey box. How do i change which plugin to use for flash, or reinstall the proper one? [01:24] georgy_28 will try thanks [01:24] i am running ubuntu 8.04 and sometimes my computer stops playing mp3s and movies. It shows the length of the file but never plays [01:24] is there any particular reason my fresh ubuntu install reports using 17 gigs on my HD ? [01:24] and ideas? [01:25] georgy_28 Okay I did that and reinstalled but it still isn't restoring my /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.3 script, any ideas on how to get that back? [01:25] m4lmsteen: you can use 'sudo du -sh /*' to look at usage starting at your root filesystem [01:25] csky_max: What does that do exactly? (I'm a bit of a newb ya see) [01:25] du = disk usage [01:25] Saladin: It updates the sources to look at the next newest distro instead of the feisty packages [01:25] csky my root system says 2gb but there are other 1.5 GB partitions [01:25] a few others [01:25] nclx : sorry no [01:25] hello [01:26] anyone here answer a quick question? [01:26] Saladin: This means it will then see all the newer versions, and update to them. Also dist-upgrade is a special command that tells the package manager that you're doing the full deal === eric is now known as Guest88623 [01:26] *instead of edgy [01:26] Adding a new service [01:26] so please would someone answer me about why is it I dont see the script menu in nautilus unless I am root why is this [01:26] update-rc.d foo default [01:26] thats not working === kevinO is now known as ChanBot [01:26] csky_max: there isn't a setting for it. i looked through the few things i have enabled in compiz and i can't seem to find it. do you know what it's called exactly by any chance? [01:27] m4lmsteen: du measures directories, it doesn't talk about partitions [01:27] m4lmsteen: 'mount' will show partition status [01:27] zzl: well try like 40 or something [01:27] kindofabuzz: sorry, nope... i remember seeing about 300 settings in that app, I'm sure it would be there if anywhere. [01:27] csky yeah... i right clicked on my 'file system' in the gui and checked the properties is where i seen the 17GB used [01:27] geirha, that what ubunutu tell wheh i try you command could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device [01:27] was just curious to where all the space was being used... [01:28] i'll get that down later because lots of people seem to have problems with it [01:28] so please would someone answer me about why is it I dont see the script menu in nautilus unless I am root why is this [01:28] csky_max: No instances of edgy found in file [01:28] m4lmsteen: Right, so if you want to see what's using it, you run 'du -sh /*' in a terminal and it will print total size used for each top level directory [01:28] I need to add a new service via the command line please? [01:28] saladin: put /etc/apt/sources.list in a pastebin.com for me plz [01:28] csky ok... soon as i get back on the other machine ill check that [01:28] another question: how can i images my ubuntu/kubuntu harddrive? [01:28] darthanubis what service? [01:28] ill bbs... ill enter xchat from mydesktop [01:28] like NORTON GHOST for WINDOWS [01:28] csky_max: I did notice, however, a lot of dapper; I'm running 6.06 right now [01:28] nclx, please tell me it does not matter? [01:29] zzl download and burn g4l or g4u google for them [01:29] nclx, I just need the "ubuntu way it done"? [01:29] remastersys zzl [01:29] darthanubis sudo apt-get install ; /etc/init.d/ start; [01:29] How do I remove instruments from a song? [01:29] which is the easiest to use? [01:29] geirha, that what ubunutu tell wheh i try you command could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device [01:29] [Q] What is the default dir for web pages in apache2 on ubuntu? [01:30] zzl both are slightly different, look at them, look at g4l first [01:30] How do I remove instruments from a song? [01:30] g4l I.E. Ghost For Linux [01:30] nclx, that does not makke the server start by default. I know how to apt-get, and start the service. How does one put it into the correct runlevel please? [01:30] solexious /var/www [01:30] csky_max: Should I then be changing dapper to whatever is next? [01:30] saladin: Ok, so for your case you are looking at no less than three dist-upgrades to get up to Hardy [01:30] nickrud: thank you [01:30] update-rc.d defaults I believe [01:30] or four even [01:30] The Debian way, which should be the ubuntu way, is not working, when it used to. So I'm wonder, what changed if anything? [01:30] Yes, 'edgy' is the next after 'dapper' [01:30] darthanubis when you install it with ubuntu, it automatically installs itself in run levels [01:31] csky_max: Can you PM me the order I need to do it please? Things get so lost in here. [01:31] dapper, edgy, feisty, hardy are the names [01:31] darthanubis stepping back a little, that sounds more like a server issue than a runlevel issue [01:31] dmi3on: Try mounting the root filesystem and run «sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/disk /dev/sda» [01:31] nickrud, could you tell me how to inssert the service into the correct runlevel should the automagical way FAILS [01:32] I always copy/paste the current line, comment out the old version for history, then change the distro codename in the copied line. Helps see what the box used to be using. [01:32] How do I remove instruments from a song? [01:32] ok, thx [01:32] nickrud, I'm just trying to get proper syntax for the task which I'm asking atm? [01:32] remastersys zzl [01:32] remastersys zzl [01:32] oops [01:32] l3d: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:32] darthanubis: did 'update-rc.d defaults' work? [01:32] i think i will reinstall [01:32] so please would someone answer me about why is it I dont see the script menu in nautilus unless I am root why is this [01:32] csky_max, nope, thats why I'm puzzled [01:32] remastersys is good? [01:32] yes [01:33] i put a console command in a file and am trying to run it like ./someFileWithCommands but it doesnt execute it properly [01:33] Saladin: by doing it though apt-get like what's recommended [01:33] darthanubis update-rc.d start 2 3 4 5 stop 0 1 6 [01:33] saladin: make that list.... dapper, edgy, feisty, gutsy, hardy and soon intrepid [01:33] zzl: i looked for remastersys in repo's but couldnt find it [01:33] How do I remove instruments from a song? [01:33] darthanubis update-rc.d start 2 3 4 5 stop 0 1 6 may be clearer [01:33] Wavesonics: what does "doesn't execute properly" mean specifically [01:34] Wavesonics: in console do 'chmod +x ' [01:34] to make it an executable script [01:34] csky_max: No repos found for edgy. Is it still supported? [01:34] qr: it is suppose to execute screen for a certain program, but when i try and attach the screen, it says it doesnt exist [01:34] How do I remove instruments from a song? [01:34] whenever I use update-rc.d with the server and default, I get the built in help from update-rc.d [01:34] update-rc.d start 2 3 4 5 . stop 0 1 6 . that's the right command [01:34] darthanubis then you have problems other than setting up runlevels. Maybe you should simply say what the real problem is [01:34] !edgy | Saladin [01:34] Saladin: Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) was the fifth release of Ubuntu. It is now in end of life, and is unsupported. Please upgrade to a newer release. [01:34] saladin: Unsure. I would actually look at researching the official recommendations for going from Ubuntu 6.06 LTS to 8.04 LTS [01:34] Wavesonics: have you tried executing the commands manually to make sure they're correct? [01:35] Saladin: edgy is not supported anymore you have to edit /etc/apt/sources.list to let you upgrade [01:35] qr: yes they work fine manually [01:35] georgy_28 yep, missed the period thanks [01:35] nickrud, I can't say it any clearer [01:35] I've described EXACTLY what is occuring [01:35] Hpw [01:35] Hlw dl yo make a mashup? === ChanBot is now known as KevinO [01:35] darthanubis you finally did. what's the service you're trying to start? Is it in /etc/init.d [01:35] [Question] Is it possible to have gedit auto detect highlight mode when opening INI files? It can be done manually by going to View>Highlight, but what I want to know is how to make it automatic, like how gedit detects C source for example [01:36] !mashup [01:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about mashup [01:36] !rockband [01:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about rockband [01:36] !fretsonfire [01:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about fretsonfire [01:36] all of a sudden when I reboot all of my computers lose the dns entry and thus my internet connection until I manually enter the number again. any idea how to fix this? [01:36] !stepmania [01:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about stepmania [01:36] Saladin: Aaha!! https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes#From 7.10 or 6.06 LTS to 8.04 LTS [01:36] Saladin: That page describes your case and the recommended procedures [01:36] LetsGo67 don't abuse the bot, you can ask him questions in pm [01:36] nickrud, its absolutely in the correct dir [01:36] How do I remove vocals? [01:36] never had this issue before [01:37] and I really don't want a lecture on the service I'm using as it's not "ubuntu approved":/ [01:37] darthanubis and sudo update-rc.d defaults [01:37] Saladin: I *think* you may be lucky enough to be able to go 6.06 > 7.10 > 8.04, but that page will have those details [01:37] darthanubis fails? [01:37] I'm trying the a3 livecd and just get a Kernel Panic when trying to run live or trying to install direct. [01:37] LetsGo67: unless you have the a song with vocals as a seperate track removing them really is not an easy task at all (if it's even possible_ [01:38] nickrud, yes sir [01:38] got it working, thanks all [01:38] Need some help, any flash videos I try and view (e.g. youtube) just produce a grey box. How do i change which plugin to use for flash, or reinstall the proper one? [01:38] darthanubis: the other way if the scripts aren't working to insert your service, is put it in /etc/rc.local before the last line 'exit 0' [01:38] csky_max: Alright. Though... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades says you can do a direct upgrade. Do you not recommend that though? [01:38] one last question, i want this program to run as a certain user, but i want it to runa t start up, how do i do that? === KevinO is now known as ChanBot [01:38] Best advice I can give is follow what that page says. [01:39] darthanubis that is very strange, since all update-rc.d is look at the service name you give and create links based on it. There's got to be something you're missing. Try putting darthtest in /etc/init.d , and running sudo update-rc.d darthtest defaults [01:39] my print jobs immediately go into a held status any ideas? [01:39] csky_max, yeah I have mythzmserver in ther elike that, I don't like that at all. Myth Zoneminder server NEVER had to be put there like that. [01:39] Wavesonics: you can use su to run programs as another user (su -c "command" username, I believe) [01:39] Is Ibex a3 Live CD known to kernel panic? [01:39] It's like with Hardy some servers just will not start automagically like they should [01:39] qr: thanks :) [01:40] darthanubis: maybe pastebin your init script, something in it could be choking update-rc.d? [01:40] darthanubis: i know on centos, chkconfig is very picky [01:40] what's there cool to do in kubuntu? [01:40] zzl: play with dcop :) [01:40] dcop? [01:40] darthanubis does /etc/rc2.d have SNN ? [01:40] Can anyone please help me? I can't access my linux desktop from my windows desktop. But for some reason I can access it from my laptop. (I used to be able to access from windows desktop until I reinstalled linux) [01:40] zzl: dcop lets you control kde apps with command line, in short [01:41] sweet [01:41] each app has its own hooks, you can browse them [01:41] nickrud, yes [01:41] that's pretty sweet [01:41] Odd. I'm getting a kernel panic that 'tried to kill the idle task'... [01:41] Need some help, any flash videos I try and view (e.g. youtube) just produce a grey box. How do i change which plugin to use for flash, or reinstall the proper one? [01:41] godzirra, what version of ubuntu [01:41] 8.04 [01:41] try 'dcop kicker kicker restart' as an example [01:41] i want to use like Photoshop with Wine but it doesn't work for some reason [01:41] weird [01:42] !wine [01:42] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [01:42] darthanubis then you have correctly used update-rc2.d . The problem is in the server startstop script. [01:42] RadiCaL: have you installed several? [01:42] godzirra, you sure this is a linux problem and not a windows one [01:42] *update-rc.d [01:42] bazhang: No. But it worked before the reinstall, so I'm not sure what it could be. [01:42] darthanubis: pastebin the script if ya can [01:42] I know I've seen in the filebrowser a view where you see blocks of rectangles and squares dividing up the window based on their contents sizes, is this possible in nautilus? or some other file browser? [01:42] RadiCaL: check about:plugins [01:42] molgrum: nope, i assumed the one I am using now has stopped working [01:42] SubOne: That sounds like old KDE [01:42] i just installed Vbox.. but cant seem to find the run command for it.. [01:43] RadiCaL: adobe? [01:43] godzirra, this is using putty? [01:43] SubOne: So, kongueror 3-series [01:43] yeah Adobe Photoshop cs2 [01:43] MrVirus: it should be in your menu under other or something along those lines [01:43] bazhang: correct. [01:43] *konqueror [01:43] bazhang: works fine from the laptop, but not the desktop. [01:43] It used to work fine from both [01:43] and I havent changed settings on either. [01:43] csky_max: how can i view files in this or a similar way? i am trying to locate files that are too large because i have 4gb left on a DL and little space left [01:43] godzirra, not sure; does that rely on fstab in ubuntu [01:43] [Q] chmod of ttyS0 resets on restart, ho can i stop this happening? [01:43] zzl: some photoshops don't work with wine depends on which version you have [01:43] bazhang: Not that I know of. === ChanBot is now known as KevinO [01:43] godzirra; i had offending keys in my .ssh/known_hosts which after i corrected fixed the problem. i was being given an error though since i told it strict checking [01:43] molgrum, i believe I was using adobe... though now I dont see it listed... is there a way to manually install it just to be safe? [01:43] POS ATI [01:44] zzl, check appdb [01:44] ARGHHH [01:44] !vbox | MrVirus [01:44] MrVirus: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'.

[01:44] SubOne: I always start with 'du -sh *' in my home directory [01:44] Wasted my night on this garbage. Company should be out of business I swear. [01:44] zzl: yeah that doesn't work in wine from what I remember [01:44] RadiCaL: you can try to reinstall it yeah [01:44] histo: does the box say "Linux"? :) [01:44] Sorry for newb question; How do I check what hardware this machine has and the drivers it uses? [01:44] solexious it gets reset by udev on boot, why do you want to change the permissions on it from the default? [01:44] ntp daemon does not appear to do anything either === KevinO is now known as chanbot2 [01:45] !appdb | zzl check here [01:45] zzl check here: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [01:45] RadiCaL: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash [01:45] godzirra; right, you were getting a time out. windows box is unable to see Ubuntu box? [01:45] trying to run the switzerland application [01:45] Has anyone every sucessfully installed ati driver from ati.com on hardy 64bit? [01:45] but one thing at a time [01:45] ip a s [01:45] nickrud, as i want to give w/r to all [01:45] SubOne: Here's the exact thing you were looking for: 'sudo find / -size +50M -print' to show all really big files on your system [01:45] darthanubis sudo invoke-rc.d start will start service [01:45] bastid_raZor: Correct. Not sure why. [01:45] histo: people have a hard enough time with 32bit 64bit is almost impossible with the fglrx driver [01:45] solexious add what ever user you want to use the ttyS0 to the dialout group [01:45] and mythzmserver is just the regualr package from the repos === chanbot2 is now known as chanbot3 [01:46] hi [01:46] wow. call of duty 4 can be played with WINE on ubuntu. haha [01:46] [Question] Is it possible to have gedit auto detect highlight mode when opening INI files? It can be done manually by going to View>Highlight, but what I want to know is how to make it automatic, like how gedit detects C source for example [01:46] bastid_raZor: I can't even see the webpage on the browser of the windows desktop. [01:46] nickrud, how can i add root? [01:46] I don't know if any of you use mythtv and can test that? [01:46] zzl: even simcity 4 installs and plays with no hacks on wine 1.0 [01:46] they don't in ubuntu-mythtv [01:46] nickrud, via shell [01:46] !test [01:46] sigh... again? I'm busy here, I already told you it failed. [01:46] !uptime [01:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about uptime [01:46] Does F-Spot really not support drag-and-drop to other apps?? [01:46] godzirra; oh, then it is your windows box not able to network. appears to have nothing to do with ubuntu :) [01:47] solexious root owns it, has write permissions. To add some other user, do sudo adduser dialout . Any user you add to a group is required to log out completely and then log back in for the group change to take effect [01:47] bastid_raZor: sigh. I'd still be happy to hear suggestions. It started doing this immediately after I reinstalled. [01:47] it worked fine before. [01:47] nothing has changed on the windows box. [01:48] nickrud, thank you [01:48] HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! apt wants to remove nearly every package on my computer because of a dependency problem [01:48] godzirra; i have to get ready for work.. but on the windows box you are unable to get to the internet? [01:48] i have a Terratec Cinergy HT PCMCIA and analog (cable) video works fine, but there's no sound. can anyone help? (http://paste.ubuntu.com/34938/) [01:48] csky_max: I ran that command and its not doing anything... does it take a while? === kevinO is now known as ChanBot [01:49] erisco heh. How'd you get in that situation? [01:49] bastid_raZor: nope. Network works fine on windows box. [01:49] nickrud, I was trying to install a newer libasound2 package [01:49] nickrud, after it installed it said there were unmet dependencies... now apt wants to remove 100's of MB of packages that are not even related [01:49] what do I do? [01:49] erisco so now a lot of stuff requires the older libasound2, and wants to leave? [01:49] another interesting question: can kubuntu/ubuntu get a virus/spyware/keylogger? [01:49] hey guys, im trying to watch a movie, but i have no sound [01:49] nickrud, yes! [01:49] any ideas what might be wrong? [01:50] godzirra; oh.. in that case i've got to run. good luck :) [01:50] nvm here it comes [01:50] nickrud, I cannot get it back either [01:50] erisco apt-cache policy libasound2 , put that on pastebin [01:50] nickrud, apt won't seem to let me... what do I do... [01:50] bastid_raZor: oh well. Thanks anyways. [01:50] zzl: sure, but virii for linux are far, far rarer than virii for windows [01:50] > [01:50] nvrmind about the ntp daemon, its just slow [01:50] hi [01:50] SubOne: Yeah, could take a while. try it with "find ~ -size +5M -print" for a quicker example. [01:50] sound in my totem, mplayer, and vlc dont work anymore, i dont know whats wrong [01:51] SubOne: (show all 5M or greater files in my home) [01:51] zzl, for interesting chat please join #ubuntu-offtopic [01:51] nickrud, http://pastebin.ca/1094315 [01:51] Do i need internet connection to get build essential [01:51] nickrud, I've already lost a few packages, including wine [01:51] nickrud, I aborted once I realized what it was doing [01:51] erisco let me look, geesh :) [01:51] kane: you should be able to get it off an install cd if you still have that [01:51] hey guys, why dont my vlc, and totem have sound? [01:51] nickrud, this is freaky [01:52] I don't have cd [01:52] But i installed Ubuntu [01:52] 8.04.1 live, liveusb package installed, creating a live stick. 3 years old ibm laptop. it takes really really long. cpu idle. minimal i/o. but top says: 95% wait [01:52] nickrud, all over my damn usb headphones that just happened to be slightly glitchy [01:52] erisco sudo apt-get install libasound=1.015-3ubuntu4 , this will reinstall the old version === brendan_ is now known as BrendanWelsh [01:52] erisco gah. wrong line [01:53] nickrud, i was able to play mp3s yesterday, now i can't, any ideas whats wrong with my totem? [01:53] sudo apt-get install libasound2=1.0.15-3ubuntu4 erisco (cut and pasted my typo'd version) === brendan_ is now known as BrendanWelsh [01:53] sarah_bear not off the top of my head. Can you play mp3's in anything else? [01:53] kane: since you obviously have an internet connection somewhere (ie you're on irc) you could figure out the correct version of the package you need and download it manually from the ubuntu repos on another machine and transfer it via some non-internet means... but that's a pretty roundabout way of doing things, an internet connection would be much simpler. [01:53] no i can't not even banshee [01:53] nickrud, I think that may have fixed it [01:53] i tried to update to hardy today, but i cancled it [01:53] nickrud, now to try and figure out what I lost [01:53] that might have anything to do with it? [01:53] Can anyone think of a reason why my windows box can't reach my linux box, but my laptop can? [01:54] so please would someone answer me about why is it I dont see the script menu in nautilus unless I am root why is this [01:54] sarah_bear oh, yes, having a mixed gutsy/hardy will definitely break stuff [01:54] sarah_bear, cancelled it? please clarify [01:54] godzirra: can't reach as in cant even ping? [01:54] it has 30 minutes left, so i hit "cancle" button [01:54] then it said "restoring to previous settings" [01:54] ok so how where cna i download it [01:54] l3d: because it's a root only thing [01:55] l3d for me, I had to drop a script into ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts and restart nautilus to see it in the context men [01:55] wasnt befor [01:55] e [01:55] kane, what do you need build-essential for [01:55] IDK [01:55] i just need it [01:55] l3d: it is if you don't have a nautilius-scripts directory like nicrud stated [01:55] kane, if you dont know then why download it [01:55] qr: correct. Can not ping, ssh, or access the websites via ip. I'm using putty to connect to 192.168.1.99 [01:55] which is the linux box ip. [01:56] godzirra: same subnet? [01:56] godzirra: that sounds like a problem with the windows box [01:56] yes but in the directory its shows the script audio convert i added through synaptic but its root [01:56] godzirra: is there a vpn client on your windows side that is getting exclusive control on your network interface? [01:56] argh i cant even listen to my music! what gives... [01:56] My Ubuntu 8.04 install disk goes to a busybox command line after I attempt to Install. The checksum comes out correctly. [01:56] I have issues with my Genius Mousepen 8x6, the buttons don't work, and the X.org I think it is wrong, can someone help me? === brendan_ is now known as BrendanWelsh [01:56] csky_max: no. Fresh install of windows. [01:57] qr: no idea. It used to work. [01:57] sarah_bear what does lsb_release -r say? [01:57] kane, any reason not to run an ethernet cable to your computer without broadcom wireless and download the packages to it? [01:57] 7.10 [01:57] How can I mount my webcam in /dev/video0? [01:57] godzirra: I'd be looking at things like, is the patch cable the same, can I contact it from the windows box booted onto an Ubuntu live cd, hardware testing like that [01:58] godzirra: well obviously something has changed, have you installed/uninstalled anything recently (on either machine)? [01:58] csky_max: well, the windows box works fine network wise. [01:58] the webcam is Bus 007 Device 002: ID 0c45:62c0 Microdia [01:58] qr: I reinstalled ubuntu ;p [01:58] nickrud 7.10 [01:58] csky_max: everything EXCEPT getting to the .99 linux box works. [01:58] sarah_bear and grep -l gutsy /etc/apt/sources.list [01:58] i would be curious to see if that system can reach it booted into ubuntu live [01:59] dud you send him to the webcam compatability site? [01:59] if so, you know it's a windows issue [01:59] nickrud /etc/apt/sources.list [01:59] not anything to do with your "cloud" or hardware [01:59] I readed this guide and I got lost. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen#Everything%20seems%20to%20work,%20except%20pressure%20sensitivity [01:59] godzirra: have you tried the other way round? Ie contacting the windows machine from the linux machine? [01:59] once i get the file how do i install it [01:59] sarah, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras , that should make sure the stuff that totem/banshee needs to play mp3's. [01:59] hehe [01:59] qr: nothing I can really do to connect. DOes windows return pings by default? [01:59] sarah_bear see above, for you :) [01:59] kane, would you mind answering my questions? [01:59] I have a doozy here: Have been trying to get wireless functional on a laptop since last night. Finnally have all the right drivers and successfully installed the ndiswrapper module as well as the ndisgtk module which worked perfectly at getting the drivers to install, however, now I lack the ability to use any kind of wireless utility; it has completely dissapered from the networking console. [01:59] please help me [02:00] godzirra: it should [02:00] nickrud i did that 30 minutes ago [02:00] it was supposed to work in my latest Ubuntu, but it won't. [02:00] qr: times out. [02:00] hey [02:00] godzirra: Windows firewall status? [02:00] nickrud ubuntu-restricted-extras is already the newest version. [02:00] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [02:00] sarah_bear ok. That's all the obvious stuff. [02:00] godzirra: how about the connecting from the laptop that can reach linux to the machine that can't, does that work? [02:01] ah nickrud, i am not sure what it is! [02:01] sigh [02:01] hey all, what is the easiest way to wipe my mbr? i need to uninstall grub but i want to leave the windows partiton in tact [02:01] I have issues with my Genius Mousepen 8x6, how do I fix the issues? [02:01] qr: the laptop can't reach the windows machine either. [02:01] ergh. [02:01] !mbr | Shamoun [02:01] Shamoun: 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 [02:01] csky_max: checking [02:01] bazhang: i get that from time to time, i believe it to be the excitement of the environment. [02:01] godzirra: that's definitely a problem with the windows machine then [02:01] Question: Whats a good upto date small Ubuntu distro 700MB or less that includes gcc compiler ready to compile once installed? [02:02] sarah_bear try totem in a terminal, and see if you get any errors. [02:02] i reinstall ubuntu second hard drive and when i restart and boot from that hard drive its doenst strat just blak screen with a white line in a corner [02:02] td123, thanks [02:02] need-help: you could try using debian lenny [02:02] DozedOnLinux, he's not sure why he needs build-essential though [02:02] what is the problem ? [02:02] I have a doozy here: Have been trying to get wireless functional on a laptop since last night. Finnally have all the right drivers and successfully installed the ndiswrapper module as well as the ndisgtk module which worked perfectly at getting the drivers to install, however, now I lack the ability to use any kind of wireless utility; it has completely dissapered from the networking console. [[using latest stable distro 8.04 Hardy [02:02] need-help: Ubuntu 8.04 standard release CD, then install the package "build-essentials" [02:02] csky_max: I tihnk you're right and its windows firewall being retarded. [02:02] i cant see hard drive in window i can see when i load with live cd [02:03] does someone know whether Ubuntu supports the ASUS P5Q Deluxe mainboard? I've searched with google and on the ubuntu website, but couldn't find any information [02:03] godzirra: let's hope - from all you've said it sounds like windows software issue - the Firewall might just be doing it's job [02:03] nickrud nothing happens [02:03] help plz [02:03] csky_max: was that you that recommended the copiz sttings for my problem? want the answer taht fixed it? not compiz [02:03] when i try to play mp3s in totem it just exits, in Banshee and VLC is hangs and wont play [02:03] I have a doozy here: Have been trying to get wireless functional on a laptop since last night.

[02:03] csky_max: could be. I just added putty to the exceptions list though and I still don't connect. :/ [02:03] sarah_bear nothing? Does totem go back to the command line, does it stay operating until you hit clt-c? [02:03] anyones? [02:03] kindofabuzz: if i recall you had a question not a problem ;) about the icon effect? [02:04] godzirra: have you tried turning off the firewall entirely? [02:04] soho@soho-desktop:~$ totem Flo Rida ft. T-Pain - Get Low.mp3 [02:04] soho@soho-desktop:~$ [02:04] csky_max: yeah it's a gnome setting, gconf edit then /apps/panel/global/enable_animations [02:04] uncheck [02:04] I have issues with my Genius Mousepen 8x6, how do I fix the issues? [02:04] td123, that mbr info is actually the opposite of what i want to do, i basically want to know what the linux equivalent of fixmbr or fdisk /mbr is [02:04] qr: not yet. [02:04] kindofabuzz: thanks for the followup, i have had to go there only once - to disable tooltips [02:04] yeah did that too [02:04] Shamoun: why don't you just boot to windows and type that in? [02:04] I have a doozy here: Have been trying to get wireless functional on a laptop since last night. Finnally have all the right drivers and successfully installed the ndiswrapper module as well as the ndisgtk module which worked perfectly at getting the drivers to install, however, now I lack the ability to use any kind of wireless utility; it has completely dissapered from the networking console. [02:05] halp plz [02:05] godzirra: well try that, you'll at least find out if it's a firewall issue or not before you beat your head against firewall settings trying to make it work [02:05] I have issues with my Genius Mousepen 8x6, how do I fix the issues? [02:05] qr: I just did. It still times out. [02:05] MrPickle: by chance m is Network Manager still installed ? if not > use Synaptic Package Manager and search for network manager [02:05] Shamoun: or if you can't do it while your in windows, create a boot floppy with fdisk and fix using floppy :) [02:05] godzirra: I'd definitely just shut off the Windows Firewall entirely, and see if it works [02:05] sarah_bear I'm not a sound guy at all, these simple checks are about all I'm good for. Sorry [02:05] csky_max: Yeah, trying that now. Its still not working. [02:05] i have a quick question here, im logged into my headless machine via vnc through an ssh tunnel, now how do i tell if this session is being closed when i close tightvnc?? like is there an uptime command for just this x session? [02:05] i tried rhythembox and it hangs up too [02:05] godzirra: I'd reboot too after that [02:05] wont play [02:05] I have a doozy here: Have been trying to get wireless functional on a laptop since last night.

[02:05] csky_max: blah... okay. [02:05] godzirra: you can try the ubuntu live cd while you're at it [02:05] hi.... has anybody experienced render problems with java apps in fire fox 3? [02:05] ya. [02:05] MrPickle: you can get to Network Manager by way of menu > System/Administration/Network [02:05] cant even watch my new espisode of stargate atlantis nickrud :( im sad [02:05] godzirra: good luck [02:06] td123, ill try it in windows, for some reason i didn't think the tool was included lol, but it can't be done form a dos floppy because the sata drive isn't supported [02:06] does someone know whether Ubuntu supports the ASUS P5Q Deluxe mainboard? I've searched with google and on the ubuntu website, but couldn't find any information [02:06] MrPickle: Have you considered using iwconfig? [02:06] ill try booting to windows and see [02:06] billybigrigger: open a program , disconnect then reconnect, if the program is still there the session did not end [02:06] csky_max: WAit, it works externally to ssh with putty. [02:06] sarah_bear during the install, was it only in the download phase or had it started installing packages? [02:06] It just doesnt work INTERNALLY. [02:06] installing packages [02:06] lonono: also look for comments on popular component shops like newegg.com, see if people confirm running linux on it [02:06] Shamoun: if you try google, I'm pretty sure you'll find something :P, you're not the first one to ask that question [02:07] qr, well ya xchat is still openen, term, and zenmap, so i was just guessing it was still open, but wanted to make sure [02:07] qr, and i didnt see xchat resume a connection or freenode so... [02:07] dozedon linux: firefishe: iwconfig wont execute, and the network manager is what Im talking about when I say that the wireless connection disappeared [02:07] how can I use truecrypt to encrypt my excisting Ubuntu partition? [02:07] billybigrigger: yeah, if the programs stay open when you disconnect it means the session isn't ending. [02:07] hi.... has anybody experienced render problems with java apps in fire fox 3? [02:07] connection to freenode i mean [02:07] sarah_bear dpkg -l gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad [02:07] Shamoun: http://www.arsgeek.com/2008/01/15/how-to-fix-your-windows-mbr-with-an-ubuntu-livecd/ , you're welcome ;) [02:08] Would it be unsafe to allow read access to messages.log so conky can read it?

[02:09] sarah_bear I'm not familiar with the sequence used by the live updater. If it was in the installing phase, I'm not sure what it means by 'returning to original' or whatever phrasing it used. I'd suggest completing the upgrade. [02:10] I followed the steps, and I knew I missed the steps [02:10] hi, is it possible to encrypt existing root partition with cryptsetup? or i need to resize it, create new partition, create new FS using cryptsetup, copy contents, remap new partition as root, delete old root partition, resize new one? [02:10] qr, now i just need to conifgure xinetd/gdm/fluxbox and get rid of gnome, gnome over vnc sucks!!!! haha [02:10] nickrud if i comeplete the update will my files be lost? [02:10] k4r1m file-roller (the archive manager in gnome, comes by default) [02:10] or will they still be there for the new upgrade? [02:10] sarah_bear updating in place does not remove anything from your $HOME [02:10] dozedonlinux: when you say "install from there, could you elaborate at all?" [02:10] oh okay, great! [02:10] Hi, I set up the dhcp on my laptop and connected it to the PC via crossover cable. the PC (also runnign ubuntu) can get an ip address from the dhcp on my laptop. The thing is though, I cannot ping my laptop through my PC, but I "can" ping my PC from my laptop. Can anyone tell me what is going on and what I need to do to fix this? [02:10] billybigrigger: indeed. I use fvwm over vnc and it works quite nicely [02:10] k4r1m: I use 'unrar' for rar [02:10] sarah_bear that's one of the defining principles of upgrading from release to release [02:11] Does F-Spot really not support drag-and-drop to other apps?? [02:11] has anybody experienced render problems with java apps in fire fox 3? I'm having problems with an online game. I need to resize each windows and fonts were messed up until I installed the font package [02:11] ok i will let it finish upgrading thanks nickrud [02:11] nickrud: i need something for multi rar files that have somehting liek rar.01, rar.02..etc [02:11] kaiwen, it looks like theres some funky fw's at foot [02:11] csky_max: does it support what i just said? [02:11] MrPickle: SPM (Synapaptic Package Manager) is a place in which you can install "packages" [02:11] k4r1m if you install rar zip etc, the archive manager will use them [02:11] MrPickle oh what should i do ;) [02:11] nickrud have you tried ibex yet? [02:11] k4r1m: yes, it should. I did have to look up its options to do that, but I know i've put together multipart rar with "unrar" from ubuntu packages [02:12] I've got an issue, I have a file containing a command, and I want to execute that file from a init.d script: http://pastebin.com/d7338f851 === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [02:12] dozedonlinux, yes I know, the network manager is already in there. what exactly are you telling me to do with this package that is already installed? [02:12] MrPickle: use the search featuer to find what you are looking for. try to inster network-manager in there and you will see network-manager, right click anc hoose install [02:12] but it just isnt working when run from the init.d script [02:12] k4r1m: it *may* be as simple as 'unrar e part01.rar' and it automatically looks for the rest [02:12] sarah_bear heck no :) I use my laptop for work, and don't have time to mess with stuff that breaks. I usually wait for rc2 or so [02:12] kaiwen, disable any active firewalls and try the ping test again [02:12] , there are no active firewalls [02:12] Anyone have multiple speakers working on a 7.1 card? [02:12] MrPickle: then you should be able to use NetManager in System/Administration/Network [02:12] kaiwen, do you havea router? === Ominous__ is now known as Ominous [02:12] im not comfortable with cmd line yet, thats why i said im looking for gui based app [02:12] I'm using the laptop as a router [02:13] dozedonlinux, i CAN use the network manager, but my wireless does not show up in there [02:13] the laptop is running dhcp and teh pc is gaining the ip from my laptop, it got the ip but i cannot ping my laptop [02:13] ...anymore [02:13] MrPickle: does it say anythign of "wireless" ? [02:13] Wavesonics: Simple script ... can you add to the pastebin the output when the commands are run in a root shell? [02:13] qr, can i just configure gdm to load fvwm or do i have to use another display manager? [02:13] MrPickle, I hate network manager, use wicd instead, way better and easier [02:14] Wavesonics: also note that you'll have to put that into a proper init script framework if you want to be able to call "stop" "start" etc [02:14] !init [02:14] Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [02:14] billybigrigger: gdm can load fvwm fine [02:14] MrPickle: Wicd is not supported here. but then, use at your own risk [02:14] true. [02:14] dozedonlinux, wheras before I started my campaign of blacklisting the b43legacy in the hopes that it was blocking ndiswrapper, i could; however, now, there is absolutely no listing for wireless [02:14] Wavesonics: As !init said, try putting the script into /etc/rc.local - since it's not a full fledged start-stop script [02:14] anyone? [02:14] has anybody experienced render problems with java apps in fire fox 3? I'm having problems with an online game. I need to resize each windows and fonts were messed up until I installed the font package [02:15] MrPickle: as far as blacklisting you woud need to blacklist the one you replaced with ndiswrapper [02:15] Wavesonics you're missing the right structure for an init script, see /etc/init.d/screen-cleanup for a template, delete all the stuff in the start) section and put your commands there. Delete the commented stuff at the top, as well [02:15] k4r1m, he told you file-roller [02:15] k4r1m, I don't know of any gui for that in ubuntu - rar is very rar in the linux world [02:15] qr, i would just have to dig around /etc/gdm/gdm.conf a bit and ill find it there? [02:15] *rare [02:15] MrPickle do a depmod -a then roload the module [02:15] bazhang: he wants to combine multipart rar [02:15] qr, thats where i tell gdm to load fvwm yes? [02:15] k4r1m if you install rar , file-roller should handle that [02:15] csky_max, that does it fine [02:15] oh that was the name lol\ [02:15] wonderful, then there we are [02:15] kthx [02:16] can I put mutliple commands in a su -c "command" user ? [02:16] billybigrigger: um, for vnc or local? [02:16] vnc [02:16] Wavesonics: "foo && bar" for conditional execution, "foo; bar" if you dont' care if foo finishes [02:16] Okay got the driver installed finally but when I go to log in to X its trying to run at 1950x1080 or something god awefull that my monitor doesn't support. failsafe works fine. [02:16] MrPickle: to view blacklisted items in terminal > cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [02:16] dozedonlinux, well thats pretty much what I did, because it was causing as error when I tried to add ndis- to the modprobe, but after I got it in, the wireless utilities completely disapeared and they remained missing even after I removed the blacklist and restored the interfaces files to the defaults [02:16] ok thnaks [02:16] Installed the ati drivers. btw [02:16] thanks guys :) [02:17] Anyone, on my ping issue? to sum it up, I can ping computer 2, but computer 2 cannot ping comptuer 1 === WikiMan is now known as MatthewV [02:17] MrPickle: what card do you have ? [02:17] why i cant boot ubuntu from a second hard drive ? [02:17] billybigrigger: you need to edit ~/.vnc/xstartup and change the 'twm &' line to load whatever window manager you want to use [02:17] I already added my script using the init.d update thing, how should I properly remove it? [02:17] kaiwen: 9 times out of 10 that's because computer 1 has a software firewall which won't allow ping through. [02:17] dmi3on: may depend on what partition GRUB is loaded on [02:17] IS there a way in Hardy to specify the startup resolution of X [02:17] dozedonlinux, its a broadcom 4309 [i know about the common issues with this, but its integrated to the machine] [02:17] csky_max there is not firewall enabled [02:17] MrPickle: yes BCM43xx is blacklisted [02:17] no* [02:18] its working, but seems to be way more slower than winrar on windows lol [02:18] histo, not that i have ever seen. [02:18] so twm & fvwm [02:18] anything faster? [02:18] qr, ? [02:18] Wavesonics: update-rc.d foo remove [02:18] MrPickle: ndiswrapper may be the only successful way to have it functional [02:18] DozedOnLinux, i renstall ubuntu on a second drive, on a first i have vista [02:18] k4r1m, that is more dependent on your computer speed [02:18] dmi3on: did you disconnect the first drive while installing Ubuntu? [02:18] dmi3on: GURB doesnt give you the option of booting Vista ? [02:18] noo [02:19] DozedOnLinu, noo [02:19] Ofcourse why would they leave that alone. [02:19] DozedOnLinux: I have the same wirless card ;) [02:19] billybigrigger: no, you need to run fvwm instead of twm (twm is a window manager), so remove the twm and replace it with a call to the fvwm binary (it's /usr/bin/fvwm2 on my machine, it's probably the same on yours, but no gaurentees) [02:19] DozedOnLinu, when i try to boot from where is ubuntu instaled its just black screen [02:19] kaiwen: did you get yours working properly ? [02:19] DozedOnLinux [02:19] DozedOnLinux yep [02:19] so i sudo apt-get installed compiz... what else do i need beacuse as it stands I don't see a compiz gui panel [02:19] DozedOnLinux do you have the driver? [02:19] kaiwen: ndiswrapper way ?

[02:20] anyone here use cryptkeeper? [02:20] dozedonlinux, thats what ive been reading in the forums, though I think I may have played around as root just a bit too long, might just have to start fresh and not too all that useless junk i was doing and undoing this morning [02:20] kaiwen: maybe you can assist MrPickle: [02:20] MrPickle? [02:20] MrPickle: did you install the ndiswrapper driver already for the network card [02:20] kaiwen: yes he needs help with ndiswrapper [02:20] lol [02:20] Hi *. Just to understand how ubuntu works. After the installation from live cd, does ubuntu modify the /etc directory depending on the hardware that it found? [02:20] there's an easy way [02:20] ubottu, how can i open terminal when ubuntu doesnt start you mean loas from cd ? [02:20] bazhang: no. everyone knows that winrar could extract files faster than 7zip and thats just a fact.. [02:20] two command line is all [02:20] dmi3on: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:20] if.. he answers [02:21] MrPickle: kaiwen will help you with that [02:21] qr, oh ok, well i thought gnome uses metacity fro the window manager???? what is twm??? [02:21] kaiwen: he prob navigating settings or something else [02:21] dmi3on: wait, how are you here now, are you on a separate PC, or what? [02:21] yes [02:21] paolo: briefly, yes [02:21] i have a lot of pc [02:21] well while we're waiting, anyone know about my ping problem? === C3s4r is now known as Bella [02:21] definitely not a firewall [02:21] can any one help me ? [02:21] dmi3on: what happens on the other PC when you turn it on, are you getting a Grub error, like Grub error 17, or what? [02:21] pls [02:21] kaiwen: no ping but DNS works ? [02:22] csky_max: do you have any idea where I can find a list of files that it touches after installation? [02:22] nothing [02:22] billybigrigger: gnome uses metacity, but vnc uses twm by default. twm is an exceedingly light weight wm, which makes it good for vnc. [02:22] dmi3on: be freakin patient, you've done a piss poor job explaining your problem,.. [02:22] just black screen with white line in left upper corner [02:22] k4r1m: try searching add/remove Programs under Applications menu for "rar", and install the alternatives to file-roller, and you can see if they are faster on your system. [02:22] DozedOnLinux laptop can ping PC1 but the PC can't ping laptop . PC received the ip from the laptop though [02:22] dozedonlinux, yes- and I added it to the modprobe successfully, but that blacklist for bcm43xx was not put in place until after ndiswrapper failed to be added [02:22] kaiwen: what OSes are the two hosts running? [02:22] qr, ahh cool, i didnt know that :P glad i do know thanks [02:22] after 1 min vista start booting [02:22] Ubuntu ftw [02:22] i did that. [02:22] dmi3on, you need to give tons more info and follow through, not switching helpers every two seconds. [02:22] dmi3on: so vista boots OK.. it just boots slow? [02:22] MrPickle I might be able to help, did yo uinstall the drivers already? [02:22] anyone know where stash list is kept for cryptkeeper? [02:22] MrPickle: kaiwen will help you with that, as he has same setup [02:22] ok [02:23] paolo: afraid not, but the 'tripwire' package is intended to keep track of all system files and their changes and alert you to that sort of thing - maybe check it out [02:23] MrPickle install* [02:23] bazhang, what kind info [02:23] kaiwen: How are the two machines connected? [02:23] crossover joejoecircusboy [02:23] kaiwan, just re-blacklisted bcm43xx and restarting, going to redo the packages for ndiswrapper [02:23] csky_max: ok.. thanks for the hint [02:23] MrPickle, ok do that, install the driver with ndiswrapper via command line, once you have done that tell me. [02:23] * IndyGunFreak is going to bed.. later all. [02:23] it took it 3:21 to extract a file that was 804 mb, same rar on windows it gets exracted under 2 mins [02:23] night IndyGunFreak [02:24] cya IndyGunFreak [02:24] kaiwen, k [02:24] kaiwen thanks for helping him [02:24] bazhang, i load form livs CD install, reboot and tell bios to boot hard drive with installed ubuntu came up a black screen and after some time vista start booting [02:24] second question... is it possible to force apt-get upgrade not to upgrade package xyz? [02:24] kaiwen: If you run tcpdump on the laptop, does it see the PC icmp echo request? [02:24] no problem, if only someone can help me ;_) [02:24] k4r1m: if you are that curious about the performance difference, one fun thing to try would be to install Wine, (sudo aptitude install wine) then download and install your WinRar or whatnot, see if it a) works b) is faster [02:24] paolo you can put the package on hold, sudo aptitude hold [02:24] kaiwen, can you do a tracert and see which hop is the first to time out?

If so there should be options on your monitor to ajust it [02:34] kaiwen, trying to relocate the thread on the forums which have instructions for installation at terminal [02:34] Brucee: under Product [02:34] kaiwen: or I can just use the package manager again....

[02:37] DozedOnLinux: did you make him check lspci output?

[02:40] wols: what do you mean? [02:40] billybigrigger: yes, I use a terminal for everything so fvwm is quite nice [02:40] billybigrigger: rtorrent [02:40] joejoecircusboy: I can't say or !language gets me [02:40] billybigrigger: look at rtorrent, it's a very good command line torrent client [02:41] which frimware and fwcutter should i use [02:41] hi [02:41] wols: hmm? No idea what you're talking about then :) [02:41] for my broadcom 4311 on ubuntu [02:41] wols: ok i see -nn vendor and device code [02:41] joejoecircusboy: I know you don't. that's apparently normal for you [02:41] wols: add that to my notes [02:41] Daisuke_Ido, thanks [02:41] qr, thanks [02:41] wols: why the hostility? [02:41] joejoecircusboy: you wanted to know [02:42] DozedOnLinux: it is a lot less cluttered than -v and has all the needed info [02:42] which frimware and fwcutter should i use for broadcom 4311 [02:42] qr kinda gay to have a bunch of terminals open for every program i need to run though :P [02:42] MrPickle, I'm back, have you installed it yet? [02:42] wols: yes i agree now that i look at it [02:42] which frimware and fwcutter should i use for broadcom 4311 [02:42] DozedOnLinux: before you futilely continue to ask him stuff make him pastebin the lspci results [02:42] wols: I wanted to know why you disagree with comparing libpcap with the network... they ARE related [02:42] kane the windows driver one [02:42] yah i love ubuntu :D [02:42] which frimware and fwcutter should i use for broadcom 4311 [02:42] * julien cheers [02:42] billybigrigger: I usually do 'programname & exit' which opens the program and closes the terminal in one command [02:42] qr, might aswell use bitchx with rtorrent :P hehe [02:43] joejoecircusboy: netfilter happens before libpcacp for starters. if netfilter blocks, tcpdump doesn't see a thing [02:43] billybigrigger: for graphical programs only (obviously) [02:43] qr, your just full of cli knowlodge eh? hehe [02:43] wols: ok, what would cause that on a real box? [02:43] kaiwen, yes- ndiswrapper is freshly reinstalled, though not fully added to the modprobe and the driver bcmwl5 is working preoperly within the parameters of ndiswrapper [02:43] joejoecircus I did a tcpdump on PC it shows noething [02:43] kc8pxy: what would cause what? [02:43] MrPickle ok do a depmod -a [02:43] billybigrigger: I try to be [02:43] which frimware and fwcutter should i use for broadcom 4311 [02:44] wols: that's not correct, libpcap operates right above the network driver, before the stack or netfilters operates on the packet [02:44] the b43 firmware [02:44] kane, Use the windows driver one, I'm not going to say it again [02:44] kc8pxy: I asked you about a iptables command I gave you. were you able to run it by now?

[02:44] qr, this fvwm isn't any more repsonive than gnome though i am noticing === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:44] no [02:45] kaiwen: I thought you said pinging the PC from the laptop worked? [02:45] just depmod -a [02:45] yes [02:45] wols: That works for me, I'm mainly just going to use it where wine isn't enough to play my games. If it works fast enough [02:45] that. [02:45] but not from pc to laptop [02:45] kaiwen: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:45] kaiwen, k [02:45] MrPickle ok do this modprob ndiswrapper [02:45] MrPickle ok do this modprobe ndiswrapper [02:45] billybigrigger: oh no? maybe you just don't have a good connection for vnc. Are you on wireless? Wireless tends to have high latency, which can make vnc look choppy. [02:45] and then dmesg to see if it worked? [02:46] ya wireless at the hotel [02:46] MrPickle have you done it? [02:46] i have an aircard (which i left at home) which i usally use but.. [02:46] yes [02:46] (09:44:45 PM) kaiwen: joejoecircusboy tcpdump shows no suitable device found << so you have no interface configured on the PC? [02:46] has anyone figured out how to create an encrypted Ubuntu partition using truecrypt? [02:46] joejoecircusboy i have eth0 which is the ethernet port [02:46] wols: where did you ask me? i didn't see it. i was talking about X rejecting my CLI apps opening firefox. [02:47] joejoecircusboy but it doesn't show in tcpdump [02:47] kaiwen: if you run 'ethtool eth0' on the PC, what does it output? (PM or pastebin) [02:47] MrPickle actually try this :p modprobe -i ndiswrapper [02:47] joejoecircusboy that works [02:48] has anyone figured out how to create an encrypted Ubuntu partition using truecrypt? [02:48] (09:47:57 PM) kaiwen: joejoecircusboy that works << Ya, but what does it output? [02:48] joejoecircusboy actually tcpdump works, it needed sudo [02:48] ah [02:48] lol [02:48] qr, so do i have to wget a torrent file and open it with rtorrent or how does rtorrent work [02:49] i made a launcher with gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=server1 -e "ssh -X server1" --tab-with-profile=default, it works fine but after it's open the default tab is focus and i want server1 the focus [02:49] kaiwen: so do you see the ping/response from the PC side? [02:49] MrPicklem, your wireless should turn on now [02:49] kaiwen, doesnt look like its going through [02:49] MrPickle what does it say [02:49] joejoecircusboy nope [02:49] kaiwen: i have to sudo to use wireshark as well [02:49] qr: any other ideas? [02:49] Kaiwen, it says nothing, and when I check dmesg its no showing up near the bottom like it was before [02:49] kaiwen: But the ping is successful from the laptop? [02:50] joejoecircusboy yep [02:50] billybigrigger: read the man page, you'll end up doing that a lot with rtorrent until you're used to it. It is unfourtunately not an intuative program. [02:50] i wonder if i just change --window to --tab [02:50] kaiwen: try 'tcpdump -n' [02:50] kc8pxy: sorry, I'm all out. [02:50] MrPickle are you on a laptop? [02:50] kaiwen, for these installs, yeah [02:50] MrPickle do it with sudo [02:51] right [02:51] joejoecircusboy it just says it's listening doesn't do anything [02:51] some times when my ubuntu server boots the keyboard is un-responsive [02:51] kaiwen: Can you do an 'ifconfig -a' on both machines and pastebin the output?

[02:59] i foudn it in the synap manager. [02:59] <^Daisy^> i am so confused: it's a simple question and people are giving me multiple answers [02:59] MrVirus: dpkg -L |grep bin [02:59] <^Daisy^> for example: winxp uses = 1 cd win98 uses = 1 cd winvista uses = 1 dvd [02:59] anyone in a helpful mood for a unbun00b?

[03:00] <^Daisy^> wols i see; then why is Starnestommy saying it uses both [03:00] hi there, running ubuntu server 8.04 here... I've got _two_ NIC's installed on my box (this is a 1U server) but only ONE is showing up - however during the installation process Ubuntu did detect two of them and asked me which to use [03:00] ^Daisy^: cause you can get it on dvd too [03:00] sepher: well, first thing you need to do is identify your wireless device.. [03:00] ^Daisy^, you have your answer; is there an actual support question you have? [03:00] ^Daisy^: your question's not very clear. Do you mean does it use DVD or CD for the installer, or can it use DVD or CD? [03:00] sepher: pci or usb? [03:00] right... i believe i will need to use ndiswrapper [03:00] i have novatech 942 [03:00] why is it now that I can only see one ethernet connector (eth1, udev remapped it from 0 to 1) [03:00] <^Daisy^> wols if installation files can fit on a cd; why would anybody get it on a DVD [03:00] ^Daisy^, please stop [03:00] joejoecircusboy ok, done that , what's next? [03:00] sepher: that is mostly useless info. answer please: pci or usb?

Seems like I get different tips depending on distro. [03:04] joejoecircusboy, any idea what should i do :D [03:04] Uhm, I have changed the config of a nvidia driver but it registers as xorg, and when I load it into 1024 mode it makes the desktop stay at 640 but the background can move by the mouse [03:04] sdtr443w: honestly, i don't really know, i stay away from ATI because its such a pain [03:04] CHR15, download nvidia-setting and change rtesolution from there [03:04] kaiwen: you're using 192.168.0.0/24 on two different physical networks.. no wonder it's not working. :) [03:05] sudo apt-get install nvidia-setting ??

[03:32] oh wait [03:32] found it [03:32] SubOne, You cant download specific parts of a specific file in any torrent client - as far as I know - what you can do is to give a specific file highest priority so it will download faster and you might turn off other files in that torrent so the file downloads at optimum speed [03:32] starn, trying to use compiz presumably [03:32] anyone have a good app for Zune transferability? [03:32] zozoman: either reburn, and burnt he image slowly, or use the alternate install CD [03:32] bazhang: for none of the settings changes any thing.. for it appears my 3d dosnt work.. [03:33] Shujah: k i'll try that [03:33] zozoman: either way, burning slow is good practice(2-4x always works for me) [03:33] hi,Anyone knows password less ssh [03:33] CONGRATS Winning 2008 Desktop Solution [03:33] bazhang: I am wanting to install the desktop with out the apps from the KDE showing up in gnome [03:33] Indy, I will try that, thanks for the response.

[03:33] starn, yet the compiz --replace seems to have worked; this is gnome correct? [03:33] zozoman Try (1) to verify your CD on install menu (2) run install in safe graphics mode [03:33] Kumo, run the live cd and check the wifi chipset [03:33] I'm running the live cd right now. [03:33] Kumo, or use wubi to install from within windows [03:34] I also did do a Verify CD. It came up with an error in 1 file. I didnt think that would effect it much. [03:34] also Kumo, there's this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported [03:34] i aint sure if backend is gnome or kde.... for i do have both installed so i can run some apps only working in kde... [03:34] kumo i did switched my laptop ( asus l5e00c and with the intel wifi and it workd no 1 [03:34] I guess I may be wrong.

[03:35] kumo: are you running right now from the live cd? [03:35] is there a linux command to view info about a user (like group membership and such)? [03:35] kane, which guide are you following [03:35] zozoman: finally try the "alternate CD" which starts a text-based install (you have to download a new CD though) [03:36] Yes, [03:36] bazhang: I am wanting to install the desktop with out the apps from the KDE showing up in gnome [03:36] I'm here on my desktop [03:36] Two suck out the frimware using fwcutter since i focused on that more [03:36] gaw 16 hoours to rebuild a radi array [03:36] :( [03:36] kane which guide [03:36] bazhang: i have... it says xlibl: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". and repeats that few times than says Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual and repeats the first thing like 6 times. [03:36] oh reboot [03:36] The second one [03:37] kumo: well, if you see it, it probably works. You just have to configure (8.04 did a pretty good job detecting wireless card) [03:37] spiritssight, use kde desktop or gnome desktop [03:37] anyone know where I can look to find the Nautilus right-hand-click "Open with" list, please. I looked in gconf.editor, but couldn't see anything. [03:37] I'm in 8.10 [03:37] jhb1608, #ubuntu+1 for that [03:37] bazhang what do you mean [03:37] Heya guys, I hope you dont mind if I ask a question... here we go: I have an Ubuntu Server (8.x) and a working NX Server / Client connection where Im logged in as admin. But I cant use any administration functions, Im never being asked for my sudo password, any ideas? [03:37] kane, link to the guide you are following [03:38] I've gone through selecting my wireless network, and input the key in ASCII mode. THe problem is that the network incin in the upper right hand corner shows lo as the default, and I can't seem to change it, [03:38] kane for my 4311, I simply installed b43-fwcutter (hardy) and then used system->admin->hardware drivers, and enabled the bcm [03:38] bazhang: I want to see if I like the KDE 4.x desktop but I don't want all the apps to show up in Gnome that are installed by the KDE desktop [03:38] So to back up onto an external HD, just use cp? [03:38] nickrude how to install b43fwcutter [03:38] Did you use ndiswapper [03:39] spiritssight, best to just run the livecd then; installing other desktop suites will bring the apps with them [03:39] http://tinyshell.be/aircrackng/forum/index.php?topic=3597.0 I follwoed this guide [03:39] Nickrude can i pm you please [03:39] please [03:39] :-( [03:39] LOWER_CASE, right lcik on any file go to properties and open with dialogue [03:39] bazhang: i have... it says xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". and repeats that few times than says Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual and repeats the first thing like 6 times. [03:39] how do I install the tar package in my ubuntu? [03:40] bazhang: so there is no way for it not to have them show up under Gnome excpt use live cd [03:40] kane why not use the aircrack-ng from the repos? [03:40] jhb1608, you are using 8.10 correct? [03:40] yes [03:40] kumo: try first without any password/encryption (you will have to change your router settings). Maybe you can try to run wifiradar to see if there is a signal (iwconfig will do the same) [03:40] jhb1608, this is the wrong channel [03:40] nickrud i used it to install my broadcom [03:40] hm? [03:40] which channel? [03:40] to help me install it [03:40] Kumo, I noticed that sometimes, the network manager on ubuntu is a bit stubborn...but you can force it to do what you want :) [03:40] #ubuntu+1 jhb1608 [03:40] Nickrud please help [03:40] tell me how you installed it [03:41] Okay [03:41] Appreciate all the support, BTW [03:41] jhb1608, intrepid questions there NOT here [03:41] Something that windows definitely lacks,. [03:41] Nickrud please reply [03:41] oh. ok. [03:41] kane sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter . It downloaded the firmware. Then I went to system->admin->hardware and enabled the broadcom there, and rebooted [03:41] kumo: you are wrong...there's a 1-800-bill support [03:41] Shujah... I want to modify the right-hand-click **menu**, because there's some trash entries in there for programs that I've uninstalled. [03:41] * zelrikriando slaps slap [03:42] do i need internet connection [03:42] kane: yes [03:42] Can i manully download the frimware [03:42] in a cd then to ubuntu [03:42] Shujah, sorry................ found it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [03:42] well no one told me if yes or no i can ask help for my icecast2 server (cause i didnt got any help from the icecast chanel (no one talked) [03:42] kane: can you get wired access at all? [03:42] kane yes, just hook it up to a wired connection. [03:42] i don't have wired [03:42] I'm a little iffy about disabling encryption. [03:43] Shujah: Is it possible to edit the torrent file somehow and remove the other files except the one i want completed? [03:43] so i will do it manually [03:43] ... [03:43] kane, you cannot download directly from ubuntu? [03:43] kumo: in a terminal, type iwconfig [03:43] re [03:43] Can i download the frimware manully using Windows [03:43] kumo: can you see a signal strength? (Tx-Power) [03:43] kane I'd strongly recommend finding a friends place, it is so much simpler [03:43] Becuase i am using both [03:43] kane: it's infinitely easier just to get a wired hookup [03:44] kane, I mean from your ubuntu machine? [03:44] Can someone tell which frimware [03:44] tx-power is listed as off. [03:44] kumo: sorry ...signal-level [03:44] oh oops my version is 8.04 [03:44] Question [03:44] no i can't [03:44] kane: why not? [03:44] Signal level is 0 [03:44] Nickrud which frimware was it [03:44] Becuase i have wireless [03:44] not wired [03:44] And the laptop is literally a foot away from the router. [03:44] I use neighbors wireless [03:44] kane that's the one thing that ubuntu can't do, provide that firmware [03:44] jhb1608, could you pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list to paste.ubuntu.com as well as xorg.conf [03:44] kane so? [03:44] SubOne, in other clients there is an option to stop downloading files in a running torrent - I dont think the client you are using has it [03:44] kumo: does the essid matches your router setting? [03:44] how? [03:45] Can you tell me the version [03:45] Question: I am running Ubuntu 6.10 using VMWare and I can't seem to upgrade or find any repositories, when I do the command: sudo apt-get update I get the following error: Some index file failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. How can I fix this? [03:45] Yes, [03:45] which version is it [03:45] kane, you dont have any internet connection? this is ALL via a neighbors connection? === yell0w_ is now known as yell0w [03:45] kane, I dont understand why you dont want to download it from ubuntu [03:45] Shujah: ok so is it possible to open this torrent in another client preserving the progress ive already made since i still have like 21 hours left and im at about 50% [03:45] i don't have wired connection [03:45] kane wait a bit, I may have some help [03:45] the broadcom firmware isn't even hosted by ubuntu anyway, it's hosted by the dd-wrt people [03:45] nickrud thank you [03:45] kane, and your wireless isnt working on ubuntu? [03:46] zelrikriando: it's broadcom [03:46] nope [03:46] it works on WIndows [03:46] LSD|Ninja, hm? [03:46] i need to know which version of the frimware [03:46] What is the command for running graphical apps as sudo? [03:46] Access poit is not associated, if that makes a difference. [03:46] jhb1608, cat /etc/apt/sources.list to paste.ubuntu.com (copy and paste) NOT here [03:47] kumo: your router is configured for broadcasting? [03:47] gksudo linuxguymarshall [03:47] linuxguymarshall: gksu for xubuntu and ubuntu, kdesu for kubuntu [03:47] Rickrud are you there [03:47] Let me check. [03:47] :-( [03:47] zelrikriando: Broadcom wireless is supported in Ubuntu but it needs firmware. It's not hard to set up but people make it harder than it really is by trying to do it in the absence of a wired connection [03:47] bazhang, Flannel, thanks. I thought it was gtksudo [03:47] LSD|Ninja, I see... [03:48] kane, you are using neighbor's wireless?

[03:52] kane you need sudo privs to write to that firmware dir Nick what is this [03:52] how would i fix this? xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". and repeats that few times than says Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual and repeats the first thing like 6 times.

[03:53] My ubuntu box is connected to the Internet via a wireless router. I want to connect my xbox to the ubuntu box so I can play on xbox live. Is this possible? [03:53] starn, what s your video card? [03:53] I just bought a Maxtor BlackArmor external HD with hardware encryption but the software to get to the harddrive is windows only...and WINE won't run it. Anyone know of a way to get it to run? Tried Virtualbox but it doesn't seem to find it. Running 8.04 64 [03:53] kane you need sudo privs to write to that firmware dir Nick what is this Nick what is this [03:53] kumo: if not, you wont be able to go out (even at 192.168.1.1) [03:53] kane you need sudo privs to write to that firmware dir Nick what is this Nick what is this [03:53] zelrikriando: geforce 8600 gt [03:53] How to associate .rm w/ realplayer in FF3? Edit>Preferences>Applications is empty. I thought for a moment that etc/mime.types would do it, but google refers that file to cups and mailman (?). Back in the day, FF had an internal way to do this. But that seems to be missing now. [03:53] kumo: cause your wifi is not configured yet [03:53] dork5002002: if you have a wireless router why not just point the xbox to that? o_O [03:54] zelrikriando: i have the official nvidia drivers.. but installing them appears to have cuased this.. [03:54] @LSD|Ninja the xbox doesn't have wireless capabilites [03:54] starn, hmm... have you try re-installing them? [03:54] kane just do the command I gave. /lib/firmware is not in your home directory, and you must escalate your privileges to write there. See the following factoid: [03:54] What is sudo privs to write to that firmware [03:54] !sudo | kane [03:54] kane: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [03:55] Ugh, closed the wrong browser tab [03:55] Anyway, 192.168.1.1 is not working. [03:55] ok i know [03:55] zelrikriando: yes. i think... um i dont think i did a good clean up though. [03:55] kane write to the directory, /lib/firmware [03:55] dork5002002: there are little boxes you can get that solve that [03:55] dork5002002: That should be doable, if your Ubuntu system has two interfaces (one wired + your wireless) [03:55] starn, how did you install them? :) [03:55] write what to directory [03:55] Hey, when I update my system using the "Update Manager" in Ubuntu, is it the same thing as doing "apt-get update" ? [03:55] kumo: even if plugged with a rj-45? [03:55] write what to directory [03:55] yes, ansichart. [03:55] Hadn't tried that. [03:56] kane: dude, stop double posting [03:56] when i try to use apt-get update it says my repositories aren't found [03:56] RadiCal, I thought so... thank you for confirming. [03:56] I was trying to access it from my windows desktop [03:56] ansichart: though apt-get update searches for updates, whereas update manager is set to search at certain times. [03:56] kane no. Download to your desktop, then do: cd /lib/firmware && sudo tar xf ~/Desktop/b43.tar.gz [03:56] Is there a good program with a GUI for joining mp3's? [03:56] or they failed to download [03:56] @LSD|Ninja I have no money to buy one of the wireless connectors, nor do I have a vehicle. [03:56] kumo: you can't access the router with your wifi connection if it is not configured yet... [03:56] cd /lib/firmware && sudo tar xf ~/Desktop/b43.tar.gz Is this what i type in terminal then don [03:56] ansichart: so you may have updates to install, that update manager wont catch till the next time you check [03:56] zelrikriando: manually.. using the file nivia has.. ran it with out xserv like i was suppose to.. [03:56] RadiCal: you can update with update manager any timne you want, that's what the big "Update" button on it is for [03:56] after i run this on terminal cd /lib/firmware && sudo tar xf ~/Desktop/b43.tar.gz I am done [03:56] LSD|Ninja, yes, i ment the notification it gives on your system tray [03:57] starn, not through synaptic? [03:57] kumo: I,ll be back in a minute [03:57] RadiCal, So the Update manager is basically Cron + apt-get update + GUI [03:57] What do I do when I try to use sudo apt-get update and it says "Some index files failed to download" and i can't upgrade my system ?? [03:57] zelrikriando: nope [03:57] Tazbobu: Try Audacity [03:57] After i run this command i am done cd /lib/firmware && sudo tar xf ~/Desktop/b43.tar.gz [03:57] kane: stop that [03:57] ansichart, yep, but as ninja said you can use it to do on-demand update checks. I was thinking more the system tray bubble it produces when you have new updates [03:57] what [03:57] sorry [03:57] :-( [03:57] kane then system->admin->hardware manager [03:58] Ok then enable it [03:58] Then reboot [03:58] starn, ok ... I am not sure...you might wanna check that you ve got everything you need in the synaptic package manager... [03:58] RadiCal, thanks! [03:58] ansichart, no problem :) [03:58] zelrikriando: how would i even know what i need? [03:58] Hello... can somebody help me with pam? Sorry if this is a stupid question, pam is the authentication method Ubuntu uses? [03:58] Nickrud yoUr More than a hero :):-D [03:58] Thank you so much [03:59] Nickrud Rulz [03:59] yayay [03:59] yw kane pcapazzi Pluggable Authentication Modules, I think [03:59] starn, do a search on 'nvidia' in the synaptic package manager....you might find stuff that you need and not installed...that a noob suggestion though [03:59] pcapazzi: PAM is one of many authentication systems used by Ubuntu, yea [04:00] Nick your my god [04:00] I've got the fingerprint reader working via command line... I've got an entry in common-auth to use the reader... but I don't think it's trying it. [04:00] What log file do I look at? [04:00] I don't know how to thank you [04:00] kane, is it working? [04:00] pcapazzi /var/log/auth.log [04:00] I will do it now [04:01] why I can't connect to the ftp of gnome which I find here "http://www.gnome.org/~mjs/MIRRORS.html [04:01] It should work right? [04:01] How can i switch back to gnome icon,instead of ubuntu [04:01] ? [04:01] zel? [04:01] kane, if you do it right...I guess so [04:01] are they all down? [04:01] nickrud if it was failing to find the .so file, would it mention that fact in auth.log [04:01] Can someone help me? What do I do when I try to use sudo apt-get update and it says "Some index files failed to download" and i can't upgrade my system ?? [04:02] norty: Does your network connection work on that system? [04:02] joejoecircusboy, yes i can get to websites with firefox [04:02] zel ok [04:02] How can i switch back to gnome icon,instead of ubuntu ? [04:02] I have an ubuntu box connected to the internet via wireless nic. Is it possible to connect an xbox to the ubuntu box and play xbox live? I've already tried to configure the ubunut box to do this, but I'm not sure what all needs to be done. [04:02] If i need help i will come back [04:02] pcapazzi not sure. pam is one of those things that I just pray work correctly :) [04:02] norty, I am not sure, some repository might be down/obsolete... === `brooks is now known as _brooks [04:03] norty, or just connexion issues :) [04:03] dork5002002: Yes, you need to set up the ubuntu box as a router/gateway/nat system [04:03] zelrikriando, it says all of them are down === `brooks_ is now known as `brooks [04:03] nickrud LOL.. I understand... [04:03] how can I change the settings for a screen saver? [04:04] joejoecircusboy: what he wants is bridging but I have no clue how to set that up under Ubuntu [04:04] norty, did you try to go to 'Software Sources' then select another server? [04:04] LSD|Ninja: He doesn't need bridging for that... [04:04] How can i switch back to gnome icon,instead of ubuntu ? [04:04] pcapazzi the first week I ran debian pam broke. Luckily I had a root terminal open when I did the update. I kept it open till the fix was in :) [04:05] zelrikriando, how would I do that? [04:05] slbox, I think you should install a new icon theme no ? [04:05] joejoecircusboy: you missed the earlier message where he mentioned he already had a NAT router [04:05] norty, go to System > Admin...> Software sources or so [04:05] LSD|Ninja: Ya, I saw... you can have a NAT router behind a NAT router though, no need to bridge [04:06] joejoecircusboy: he wants to get the ethernet-only xbox onto the wireless LAN through the ubuntu machine. Easiest way to do that (under Windows at least) is with bridging [04:06] my firefox has been shutting down when loading a site with no warning it seems like the site always has flash but when i load firefox again i can go back to the site and it works fine [04:06] norty, then you'll see that you can actually select the repos server [04:06] LSD|Ninja: Far easier to do another NAT behind the NAT :D [04:06] tj1515, it's a known issue [04:06] kumo: still there? [04:06] YEah [04:06] tj1515, the fix is to not go to sites running flash :p [04:06] I can't seem to access my router. [04:07] I can get the modem, though. [04:07] how can I change the settings for a screen saver? [04:07] nickrud well I haven't locked myself out yet. [04:07] what % of sites you think that would be [04:07] lol [04:07] kumo: lets resume [04:07] pcapazzi keep a console logged in :) [04:07] joejoecircusboy: I'm only familiar with it under Windows and it was only a few clicks to bridge the wired and wireless connections there [04:07] mbrigdan, menu > sys > pref > screen saver [04:07] nickrud point noted. =D [04:07] tj1515, I have the same problem...I just restart FF ...that s my only fix :/ [04:07] zelrikriando, when i try to change things with that it says my repositories are out of date and either there is a connection problem, but my connection seems to be good i can connect to websites.... [04:07] Can someone help me figure out what's wrong with my samba share ( a speed issue). I bonded 2 1GB ethernet ports together and scp'ing stuff goes at decent speed (40mbps) but when I tried to transfer soemthing through samba, I get like 2-3mbps. [04:08] Shujah: that lets me change the screen saver, not its options [04:08] kumo: when you do iwconfig, you can see you wireless card, so it works [04:08] Yes [04:08] norty, could you pastebin your source.list on here? [04:08] kumo: it looks like you have a problem with your settings. [04:08] zelrikriando: thanks for the reply i hope they get this bug fixed soon it is irritating [04:08] kumo: the best way is to keep it simple [04:08] anyone have any luck with enableing or verifying sli? [04:08] hey guys, I have a dual monitor setup but it wont let me enable my 2nd monitor. Both monitors seem to be assigned to the same screen number is that the problem? [04:09] LSD|Ninja: Ya, bridging is a bit more involved in Linux... NAT is simple though (well, I guess it's all relative on experience) [04:09] kumo: no encryption/password for both sides (router and laptop) [04:09] tj1515, it has been irritating me too ... and I dont really know whose fault it is and if there is a workaround... [04:09] Doonz: what is your graphics device? [04:09] I can't access the router, though. [04:09] nvidia [04:09] tj1515, I am guessing it's adobe's fault :p [04:09] nvidia 9600 gt [04:09] Doonz: have you installed nvidia-settings [04:09] ? [04:09] kumo: did you ever access your router? [04:10] No. [04:10] GeForce 8800 GT. [04:10] kumo: with a cable? [04:10] yes [04:10] I can get the modem, bit not the router... [04:10] here let me get an exact error message [04:10] Doonz: when you go to nvidia-settings, do you see two monitors there? [04:10] I'm not trying from the laptop. I'm trying from the desktop. [04:10] Failed to set MetaMode (2) 'DFP-0: 1680x1050 @1680x1050 +0+0, DFP-1: nvidia-auto-select @1600x1200 +1680+0' (Mode 3280x1200, id: 68) on X screen 0 [04:10] zelrikriando: its nice to blame them I still can't get my clipping to stop in fullscreen [04:10] zelrikriando, http://paste.ubuntu.com/34969/ [04:10] its like its trying to set both monitors to screen 0 [04:10] kumo: do you know your router's IP [04:10] and yes both my monitors show up [04:11] norty, you re running edgy ?? [04:11] I had the wireless working at school, on an unsecures connection. [04:11] Yeah, I know the ip. [04:11] Doonz: well does one show disabled, when you click on it? [04:11] It comes up blank. [04:11] Hi is there a way to know if my network card driver was installed correctly/ [04:11] zelrikriando, yea, i just installed from a disk i had and im trying to upgrade [04:11] nope twin view [04:11] My wireless runs WPA-TKIP encryption. [04:11] aeos_guest: ya if it is working :p, we need more information then that [04:11] Kumo: i have that encryption and am running infe. [04:11] just fyi [04:12] I show an option for WEP in the laptop. and options for an ASCII key and a HExadecimal key. [04:12] norty, meh... I dont know...you dont want to download the 8.04? :p [04:12] Kumo: normally it will just show up when you connect to an encrypted network [04:12] Doonz: weird... i'm not at my PC so i can't give you much help on it,l but it works perfect on my PC [04:12] zelrikriando, i would but i don't have a cd burner [04:12] usbs tick [04:12] zelrikriando, is there an iso i could get somehow? im trying to run this via VMware [04:12] Connection properties shows lo, and I can't select another connection [04:12] Can someone help me figure out what's wrong with my samba share ( a speed issue). I bonded 2 1GB ethernet ports together and scp'ing stuff goes at decent speed (40mbps) but when I tried to transfer soemthing through samba, I get like 2-3mbps. [04:12] hm [04:12] i edited the interfaces file to try both static and dhcp settings, but when i restarted the networking it said failed to bring up eth0 [OK] [04:12] to get the second screen to come up you should just need to goto the nvidia x server settings (under applications/system tools) xserver display configuration then click on detect displays. may require a restart to enable second monitor at least it did for me [04:12] Doonz: you could try #nvidia too they might be able to help [04:12] norty, check in the magazines ... [04:13] on this network [04:13] magazines? [04:13] norty, a lot of Linux magazines have come LiveCD of ubuntu [04:13] norty, yeah... at borders you know.... [04:13] kumo: start->system-administration-network. Can you see the card? [04:14] norty, it will cost you 5$ or so...cheaper than a CD burner :p [04:14] Yes, and it shows active. [04:14] norty, or order some CD to canonical [04:14] Kumo: is it broadcom? [04:15] zelrikriando, lol im not gunna buy a magazine.. haha, do you know if there are any ubuntu iso's i can download? [04:15] Shows my ESSID as correct, connection is enabled. [04:15] norty: why can't you download/burn again? [04:15] No [04:15] norty, yeah... [04:15] IndyGunFreak, I don't have a cd burner [04:15] I run an Intel [04:15] :x [04:15] canonical takes to long... months [04:15] Kumo: can you type iwconfig into terminal and paste it in ubuntu? [04:15] norty, go to the ubuntu's website... [04:15] *pastebin [04:15] norty: you can get them for a couple bucks on ebay. [04:16] The wirless does show up in the device manager.

[04:17] kumo: well, your firts question was: Does ubuntu can detect your card? It is surely there. Now we will help you to configure it [04:17] zelrikriando, thanks :) [04:17] g2g bye [04:17] sorry kumo... no you can't... [04:17] ;) [04:18] if you type in iwconfig in terminal what do you see?

[04:23] FAJALOU: everything you need root for in common use under ubuntu can be handled by sido and friends [04:23] does ubuntu has a lot of problems with two monitors ? [04:23] sudo* [04:23] !sudo [04:23] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.

[04:26] lboken: :) [04:26] leo_rockw: i just want an extra security in case someone wants to access my ubuntu. what do you rcommend? [04:27] Kumo, what are you trying to do? [04:27] My mdadm can only assemble 3 of 5 drives, not enough to start. I'm wondering why it can't assemble the other 2, as when I --examine them they appear to be working. If anyone has used mdadm before, thanks in advance [04:27] seekingtruth: remote access? use a router or set up a firewall. change ssh's default port for some other random port. [04:27] hi starn [04:27] leo_rockw: pls listen :) [04:28] kumo: so wlan0 is there! [04:28] leo_rockw: im talking about logining into ubuntu from my keyboard [04:28] I'm considering putting Ubuntu on my laptop. I want to make sure that I can connect to my WiFi network first. [04:28] seekingtruth, i think protect password bios, boot to hdd first, password grub and lock the cpu. i don't know it's the aswer or not [04:28] starn, any update? :) [04:28] seekingtruth: you don't mean remote access? [04:28] Kumo: then test it first. install ubuntu using Virtualbox [04:28] will any1 help me out [04:28] zelrikriando: hello.. um.. i got nvidia working.... now effects dont do much.... now i just get a white screen [04:28] Kumo: there's not very many wireless devices that work on the live CD [04:28] kaper: put a password to grub? [04:29] seekingtruth: I was going to recommend a router or firewall. And setting ssh (if you use ssh) on a different port. [04:29] leo_rockw: are you even listening to what I say? lol [04:29] As opposed to running it from a LiveCD? [04:29] leo_rockw: you feeling ok? LOL [04:29] seekingtruth: not really, I don't have festival [04:29] yes i mean if you want to boot to single mode u have to type the password [04:29] hi am installing ubuntu [04:29] starn, a white screen? [04:29] leo_rockw: listen to me this time :) NOT remote access. keyboard access [04:29] Kumo: yes [04:29] <^Daisy^> i don't understand the whole no root in ubuntu thing [04:29] can any one guide me pls [04:29] seekingtruth: No need to be rude [04:29] seekingtruth: unplug your keyboard and carry it around with you [04:29] <^Daisy^> how come during ubuntu installation; it doesn't ask for what to use for root password [04:29] Kumo: becxause that way you can get a ptoper isntall and meddle and change config etc [04:29] Flannel: ok [04:29] hehe leo_rockw [04:29] zelrikriando: and glxinfo | grep direct says direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) [04:29] i have complex situation [04:29] how many way to install ubuntu on ps3? [04:30] Flannel: but leo_rockw is not helping! read his replies [04:30] dmi3on, what is the question [04:30] ^Daisy^: because you don't always need to be logged in as root. === aura is now known as Reivaj7 [04:30] ^Daisy^: you've been told that at least 3x [04:30] bcmiller2, can i PM you [04:30] <^Daisy^> fajalou i never said you do [04:30] starn, so something is wrong about your nvidia settings... [04:30] Okay. Let me back up all my stuff. [04:30] seekingtruth: the very first thing I told you was to password protect grub. You weren't being specific enough [04:30] Flannel: in fact he is bordering on trolling. [04:30] seekingtruth: As far as regular logins, having a strong password is the only way. As far as other methods, yes, locking down grub and stuff. If you want more, you could encrypt your harddrive. [04:30] Flannel: ok thanks [04:30] seekingtruth: ignored [04:30] zelrikriando: how would i change em? [04:30] bcmiller2, very hard to type here i am not so fast [04:30] :( [04:30] Flannel: but I cant get truecrypt to work. so what else you recommend? [04:30] ^Daisy^: and root account is disabled so you don't run everything as root. [04:31] when powering, would my bios detect my t.v. plugged in through s-video? [04:31] seekingtruth: theinstaller supports encrypted LVM, the alternate CD that is. [04:31] h2i: it depends on the card and what other output devicesare connected [04:31] Flannel: even if I have a strong password, i rthought its easy to bypass the Ubuntu password login. no? [04:31] sure [04:31] h2i: ATi cards will typically default to TV out if you boot them with only the TV connected [04:31] but your are better off typing to the whole chan incase I don't have the answer [04:31] Flannel: i already have ububuntu installed though [04:31] I'll see it [04:31] starn, I am not sure ,I never used a nvidia card on ubuntu... [04:31] <^Daisy^> fajalou i dn't run everything as root but i still need root [04:31] seekingtruth: Not if you lock down your grub, and disable booting from CDs [04:31] i have hard drive 160Gb [04:31] !nvidia [04:31] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [04:32] Flannel: can u pls explain what you mean "lock down grub"? [04:32] ok [04:32] starn, have you checked that link? [04:32] !sudo | ^Daisy^ stop trolling, and read the information you've been given [04:32] ^Daisy^ stop trolling, and read the information you've been given: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [04:32] ^Daisy^: then go set a root pw and log in as root, but be warned i don't believe that you can use root with a gui like gtk [04:32] seekingtruth: You can require a password to choose any entry except the default one. [04:32] zelrikriando: aint sure... i have bad memory checking it out now though [04:32] Flannel: what do you mean? [04:32] bcmiller2, i divide it into two parts 5Gb and rest, i want to install on 5Gb part ubuntu [04:32] that all [04:33] seekingtruth: You'll have to clarify your question, because my answer to that would be word-for-word of my last response [04:33] <^Daisy^> fajalous how can i set a root password with a regular user [04:33] Okay... is something already installed on the 160gb? [04:33] <^Daisy^> fajalous only root user can set root password [04:33] yes vista, and a lot of porn [04:33] :)) [04:33] LSD|Ninja: i have an old card ati radeon mobility m7 7500 (in some order like that), where could i read up on how my card would word, and maybe a few other general knowledge sources would be nice too :) [04:33] Flannel: what do you mean? elaborate pls on "You can require a password to choose any entry except the default one." [04:33] ^Daisy^: System>Administration>Users and groups [04:33] lol.. I see why you can only spare 5 then [04:34] starn, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia everything you need is there...they even explain the white screen [04:34] ^Daisy^: You don't need to set the root password, so it's moot. Please listen to the help you've been given, instead of insisting on doing it an unsupported way. [04:34] bcmiller2, i am now on prepare disk space [04:34] bcmiller2, i check manual [04:34] Okay, when you get the choice during the install, pick manual an resize the 160 down to 150 [04:34] h2i: if it's in a laptop then it probably won't work since it'll detect the laptop LCD and default to that first. The TV failover is dependent on nothing but the TV being connected at boot time [04:34] Flannel: how do I learn to "lock down my grub"? [04:34] seekingtruth: Someone will need to know a password to choose anything other than normal boot. [04:34] Flannel: ok siounds good, how I do that? [04:34] zelrikriando: it dosnt help me with the method i used to install... [04:34] seekingtruth: there are some commented out entries in the menu.lst, that's probably the best way to start === oogie is now known as oogieduke [04:35] ^Daisy^: basically, you don't need root and if you needed it you wouldn't have the necessity to ask. [04:35] I recommend you take just a little more than 5GB but it should be enough [04:35] starn, it should [04:35] Is there a log for apt-get somewhere? [04:35] bcmiller2, can i have a lot of data on c: [04:35] starn, undo what you did and follow that page... [04:35] zelrikriando: anyways i got an idea soo i am trying brb [04:35] Flannel: theres an entry already that password protects grub? [04:35] hi, can someone help me change my screen resolution? when I installed the nvidia drivers it changed it to 1024x768 and I can't get it any higher [04:35] seekingtruth: It's commented out. You'll see it. [04:35] bcmiller2, cant i have a lot of data on c: [04:35] seekingtruth: grub's menu.lst is easy to see what to do... [04:35] Flannel: how do I disable booting of CD? [04:35] seekingtruth: but yes, GRUB already has the functionality built in [04:35] FAJALOU: ok thanks [04:35] paolo_: /var/log/apt i believe [04:35] dmi3on, Ideally you would make 3 partitions - 1 swap (about equal or double your amount of ram) 1 for /home so you can reinstall linux and lose nothing and last for root [04:35] seekingtruth: that's a BIOS level thing. [04:35] daisy liek they sayed you dont have to use root when you use the command sudo its turn your right into the root power and anyway even if you do set a password on root you cant log in destop loging asroot [04:35] themunkee: try gksudo displayconfig-gtk [04:35] seekingtruth: that is in your BIos [04:36] Flannel: ok [04:36] bcmiller2, are you saying that 5G is not inaf / [04:36] hi all, all the sudden all flash videos in firefox have gone gray and don't show anything, but in midori they work. halp :( [04:36] ? [04:36] ill go look in grub menu brb [04:36] Why does OpenOffice lock up my computer and not start? Only troubled app. [04:36] If I am running Ubuntu server-edition and I want the latest version of PHP, what's the best way to do this? No one has compiled PHP 5.2.6 in the repository yet, it is still on 5.2.4 so I can't use apt-get Is it safe to download the source and compile it yourself on an application that you had installed using apt-get? [04:36] NemesisD: what are you using for flash videos? [04:36] dmi3on, Im saying that it is enough but with 160GB you may want to install or download more than that [04:36] bcmiller2, i have other hard drive 35G but i what use it for back up [04:36] Fezzler: try running from CLI and reading any error output you get [04:37] ninja: that still just gives me up to 1024 [04:37] was at 1600 before [04:37] bcmiller2, or can i use 35Gb ntfs for ubuntu soft ? [04:37] themunkee: even after you select the right monitor int the other tab> [04:37] you have to format it to use ubuntu - doesn't use ntfs [04:37] leo_rockw, apparently flash player 9 r124 [04:37] seekingtruth: there is also a program that easily (and safely) locks your old kernels and recovery modes: StartUp Manager [04:38] bcmiller2: that's not entirely correct. You could use wubi. [04:38] bcmiller2, ok now i am on prepare disk space what is a next step [04:38] I love how flash is stable and stuff [04:38] NemesisD: then your best shot might be complaining to Adobe. I don't use privative software so I can't help you there [04:38] I get [04:38] Flannel, yeah true [04:38] an example of well designed format [04:38] bcmiller2, i check the manual right ? [04:39] yeah [04:39] Can someone help me figure out what's wrong with my samba share ( a speed issue). I bonded 2 1GB ethernet ports together and scp'ing stuff goes at decent speed (40mbps) but when I tried to transfer soemthing through samba, I get like 2-3mbps. [04:39] if i started spouting vague references to old jokes, such as "i like repainting the bike shed", would that improve the conversation at all? [04:39] * dmi3on press forward [04:39] ninja: how do I tell my exact monitor? [04:39] Not so much, ice_cream. [04:39] then pick your parition and resize to 155 [04:39] At least, I don't think so. [04:39] complaining to adobe, that sounds like it will work... [04:39] hi I have set up my ubuntu to be ltsp server, now how can I make my thinclient uses default desktop setup? what Im trying to do is setup a desktop that all configure apps like gyache is already on there desktop once client login to my thinclient [04:39] it was working like 2 days ago [04:39] Nyax, but it's interesting to see if someone comments on the reference, no? [04:39] bcmiller2, what i cant tuch the 155 part [04:40] NemesisD: I wouldn't think so. You can always try free software. swfdec is a cool guy. [04:40] NemesisD, what did you do since those 2 days? [04:40] themunkee: if your monitor isn't in the list then you can use one of the generic ones [04:40] bcmiller2, pls dont make me loss all data on c: very good porn :) [04:40] installed a new compiz/gnome theme [04:40] can any one direct to a how-to [04:40] ancient bsd humor over sleep(1) http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/misc.html#BIKESHED-PAINTING [04:40] already tried turning compiz off though and it still doesn't change anything [04:40] dmi3on: i've got a feeling you're going to screw something up, you erally need to make sure you have a good backup before proceeding.. if there's really data you can't lose [04:41] dmi3on, porn is like pizza, even when bad it's good... you should be fine resizing it - if it's all fragmented it will tell you it can't be done [04:41] dmi3on: please keep your dirty secrets to yourself.... we all don't like to hear about your porn stories ;), just say they are important files [04:41] NemesisD, what about updates?

[05:06] well it wont have a monitor after its running and setup [05:07] Doonz, we seem to be in it [05:07] ^Daisy^: apt takes care of dependency nightmares [05:07] ^Daisy^ what are you having problems with? [05:07] Troy^: Not sure what the policy on this is here, but: Too be honest, Ubuntu not your best choice for a headless server... I'd go with CentOS over Ubuntu for that type of thing [05:07] joejoecircusboy: well it wont have a monitor after its running and setup [05:07] what is the currect command line for restarting xserv?

[05:09] wow 14 hours left on a raid rebuild [05:09] * Doonz cries [05:09] bazhang, I was just wondering how this would work in theory... because I was thinking about setting up my own repository on my localhost, and downloading and compiling software myself for the latest versions if the repositories are behind.* [05:09] ansichart, you want to do apt-pinning? have the latest software from proposed? or use 3rd party repos; what is your goal here? [05:09] Troy^: If you're willing to learn a slightly different flavour of Linux... I'd give CentOS a try for that [05:10] nickrud: ok that brings me to another question um. how would i make gdm defualt and not kde.. for i kinda missed up i ment to install ubuntu first and kubuntu secound but i dint... [05:10] joejoecircusboy: CentOS is community RHEL, right?

Ubuntu doesn't have dependency problems [05:11] leo_rockw: ? [05:12] ^Daisy^ they do. Ubuntu doesn't, unless you're using it wrong [05:12] gaintsura: what video app are you using?

Complaining randomly won't get you jack === statix is now known as zmig [05:12] joejoecircusboy: hmm and the distro you recommended me, is it typically hard to install and learn is it similiar to gentoo sort of thing? [05:13] Troy^: let's go PM [05:13] gaintsura: ok, we can try something for mplayer... create a file ~/.mplayer/config [05:13] gaintsura: write a line that says "vo = gl2" (no quotes) and try running mplayer again [05:13] bcmiller2, some think is wrong ubuntu doesnt start :( [05:13] Can the live cd be enabled to play MP3s ??

[05:17] How do I take non-ascii characters out of a file name [05:17] anybody lose the navigation buttons on firefox?

[05:21] So how do I put copy /home/shawn to "/media/OneTouch4 Mini" [05:21] leo_rockw: well, a lot of people complained but the developers won't change it. since the source is open somebody else took the code and made a fork [05:21] repsol_: probably because of your theme, try the default [05:21] It is default [05:21] I don't even have theme choices [05:21] repsol_: try in safe mode [05:21] halo.. [05:21] what could go wrong if after installation vista starts like ubuntu doesnt exists [05:21] I have googled and there are tons of people with the same problem [05:21] Dexikiix: at first they named it funpidgin, the new name is carrier [05:21] safe mode firefox?

I tried to install it, but ran into an issue. Are there any known issues with Parallels and Ubuntu? [05:34] gparted didn't let me change it to ext3 [05:34] Parallels website seems to say nothing except what packages you need to install [05:34] what is the CLI based volume manager called... where you can turn channels on and off, has all the settings... can't remember the command [05:34] lcphr3ak, you should contact parallels about that; we recommend virtualbox among other free solutions. [05:34] RadiCal: alsamixer? [05:34] I found a cure but for windows [05:35] leo_rockw, pls help vista doesnt start and ubuntu doesnt start after i fallow steps from link [05:35] legend2440: bingo. lol. isn't there a gui for it as well?

I'll contact parallels. Thanks [05:36] Dexikiix, are you in the same directory? [05:36] i think so [05:36] i might need to go one step farther [05:36] Dexikiix, do ls to be sure [05:36] drwx------ 4 repsol repsol 4096 2008-06-26 18:54 .mozilla [05:36] what file am i looking for [05:36] i see a bunch of "config.this" and "config.that" [05:37] It is already that way [05:37] Hey guys, can i put a password on a folder? ive been searching the forums and havent really found the right answer. I dont want my login password nor root to be able to acces it, it should need a different password before it will let you view its contents. any ideas? [05:37] repsol_: do it anyways =) won't hurt [05:37] Bodsda, gpg [05:37] ok [05:37] Dexikiix: what are you building?

[05:37] Bodsda, or truecrypt [05:37] I need to force mount a hard drive. the command given to me by the prompt " mount -t ntfs-3g/dev/sdb1/media/disk -o force" doesnt work it seems [05:37] whats the command for killing apps you click... how am i forgetting this... :/ [05:38] bazhang, whats truecrypt? [05:38] Bodsda, /msg ubottu :) [05:38] Oh I see, I needed to unmount it first [05:38] still no good kindofabuzz [05:38] WAIT [05:38] Bodsda: another option is to create a new user with a different password and make it the owner of that folder. but i like gpg better [05:38] unmount isn't a word [05:38] umount [05:38] bazhang, just did, i dont want to encrypt it just password lock it [05:38] Miesco_: it is a word, but not a command. [05:39] hi, I'm using the last ubuntu and I have a hard time playing video .mov I'm able to open them with mplayer but the navigation is almost impossible, when I open them into vlc, the sounds works but not the image. Also I notice on vlc that ffmpeg "ffmpeg decoder error: more than 5 seconds of late video -> dropping frame (computer too slow ?)" ... and the computer is less than a year hold with... [05:39] repsol_: you need a new profile, either use the -P or wipe ~/.mozilla [05:39] ...the right nividia inside and the drivers installed (with envyNG) anybody know what to do ? [05:39] Flannel: no its NOT! [05:39] crdlb carrier... if you missed it [05:39] leo_rockw, leo_rockw a new user doesnt prevent anything as root could still reset that users password and then open the folder (assuming someone got to my machine) [05:39] Flannel: Its not a freaking word [05:39] kindofabuzz, you were right [05:39] I need to force mount a hard drive. the command given to me by the prompt " mount -t ntfs-3g/dev/sdb1/media/disk -o force" doesnt work it seems [05:39] flannel unmount is not a word, dismount is the word ;) [05:39] Bodsda: if it's not encrypted, then root will always be able to access it [05:39] Miesco_: why not? [05:39] anyone have a link where I can find stages of a process in linux? Can't seem to find anything [05:39] repsol_: corrupt profile? [05:39] I rm -rf .mozilla then started firefox and it fixed it [05:40] Dexikiix: what's that? [05:40] bazhang: gparted said "unmount" [05:40] google isn't helping [05:40] crdlb, which is why im looking for a password protect, does trucrypt need a password? [05:40] carrier / funpidgin? [05:40] joejoecircusboy: its not proper, not in the dictionary, proper is "dismount" [05:40] kindofabuzz, thanks for staying with me [05:40] crdlb: ^ [05:40] Bodsda: true... then encrypting might be the way to go here [05:40] repsol_: there probly was a fix for it by deleting file/s in your profile, but i just wnet the easy route =) [05:40] Miesco_, gparted speaks in english where as the terminal speaks in bash [05:40] true [05:41] I am appreciative of your patience [05:41] leo_rockw, cool, cheers [05:41] Bodsda: Your not getting it, unmount is not english [05:41] Can someone please show some love here and help me [05:41] Miesco_: The dictionary is constantly evolving... but it follows the actual language in use by a couple years [05:41] Zetakun: what do you need? [05:41] repsol_: np, i'm a reg at those firefox forums so sign up and learn alot about FF [05:41] Miesco_: 'unmount' < 1.2 million google hits... sounds like a word to me ;) [05:41] Bodsda: if there is no way to do what you want maybe it would be a good idea to make a post on ubuntubrainstorm [05:41] imma just paste what i been saying [05:41] I need to force mount a hard drive. the command given to me by the prompt " mount -t ntfs-3g/dev/sdb1/media/disk -o force" doesnt work it seems [05:41] joejoecircusboy: saying unmount is like saying recognizeded [05:41] Cool [05:41] Miesco_, you unmount something, just take that as english, in bash you umount it -- same thing 1 letter difference -- exactly the same function [05:41] Zetakun: yeah i have no idea [05:42] Miesco_, this is getting far offtopic [05:42] Miesco_ use umount , that's the command. [05:42] Bodsda: unmount is not a english word [05:42] leo_rockw, meh, il get me python book out in a min and waste a few more hours ;~) [05:42] Miesco_: no, recognizeded is redundant... unmount is not (it's the opposite of mount) [05:42] thx >.< [05:42] Zetakun: Check your spacing on ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1/media/disk -o force [05:42] Miesco_: Its jargon, and if you would like to debate it further, I'd be happy to in #ubuntu-offtopic. [05:42] ghdhdh [05:42] joejoecircusboy: No its not, its not a freaking word [05:42] i don't understand why they didn't make in unmount instead of umount [05:42] Miesco_ drop it [05:42] Bodsda: that's what I was thinking too. I'd love to see your code :-) [05:42] Dexikiix: what's wrong with pidgin? funpidgin.sf.net has an ubuntu package though [05:42] take all dictionary discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic please [05:42] Miesco_: Says who? You? Who are you? [05:42] im doing it exactly as the prompt sais to [05:42] ok i know was just on here a few mins ago but i was hoping someone could help me... i instaled compiz-fusion on my ubuntu but i can't seem to find where it is. anyone know where it's hiding from me? [05:42] Miesco_, so? your last sentence was not gramatically correct but i still understood it [05:42] joejoecircusboy: Says the dictionary [05:42] how do i make this show who i am replying to? [05:43] Miesco_, joejoecircusboy take chat to ot channel [05:43] joejoecircusboy #ubuntu-offtopic, Miesco_ Bodsda this ends here. One way or another, and I'm not choosing sides, just naming the latest commenters [05:43] does anyone have a resource that explains different stages in a linux process (zombified, etc) please I can't find much on google [05:43] Zetakun: just prepend the persons name. Usually you can type a few letters and hit tab and your client will complete it [05:43] Zetakun: start typing there name, hit tab to auto complete to save typing [05:43] #christian-chat [05:43] leo_rockw, grub-install /dev/hda, mkdir: cannot create directory '/boot/grub':Permission denied [05:43] salmon: you need to install another package to set it up... lemme look for the package name [05:43] sorry nickrud [05:43] Okay im in #ubuntu-offtopic [05:43] hi, I'm using the last ubuntu and I have a hard time playing video .mov I'm able to open them with mplayer but the navigation is almost impossible, when I open them into vlc, the sounds works but not the image. Also I notice on vlc that ffmpeg "ffmpeg decoder error: more than 5 seconds of late video -> dropping frame (computer too slow ?)" ... and the computer is less than a year hold with... [05:43] ...the right nividia inside and the drivers installed (with envyNG) anybody know what to do ? [05:44] leo_rockw: thank you [05:44] crdlb: the text entry box resizes itself in weird ways... its really annoying... and yeah they have a deb but its an older version :p [05:44] Miesco_: I'm not actually interested in debating the topic, but thanks [05:44] sry, i accidentally quit the channel >.< [05:44] Dexikiix: -_- [05:44] leo_rockw, i try sudo grub-install /dev/hda, /dev/hda does not have any corresponding Bios drive [05:44] crdlb: fine i'll get the older dev [05:44] deb [05:44] dmi3on: it might be sda or sdb or hdb or... it could be many different things [05:45] Dexikiix: the '-_-' was for caring about the input box. If you give it a chance, you'll find that it doesn't really matter :) [05:45] quick optical question for you guys [05:45] leo_rockw, can you tell me how can i find out what is it ? [05:46] sata drive in 8.04, working up until a week ago. still listed in fstab, i cannot see the drive listed in dev period [05:46] crdlb: but it BUGS me... [05:46] Zetakun: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1/media/disk -o force, try that. And make sure its in your fstab [05:46] *optical drive [05:46] salmon: there's compizconfig-settings-manager and simple-ccsm [05:46] salmon: the simple one is... well... simpler :P [05:46] fstab? (sry complete linux nub [05:46] dmi3on: it depends on what type of hard drive you have [05:46] thanks leo_rockw [05:46] salmon: np [05:47] Dexikiix: does it start out as two lines tall by default? [05:47] Zetakun: sudo nano /etc/fstab [05:47] Is there a way to burn a playlist onto a CD from Rhythmbox? [05:47] leo_rockw, ok how do i find out now what type of hard drive i have [05:47] ty [05:47] crdlb: yes, or 3 and gets smaller when im typing in it [05:47] leo_rockw, can you tell me more info [05:47] crdlb: then bigger again when i stop typing [05:48] Dexikiix: did it ever occur to you that you might be seeing a bug? :) [05:48] ok, I typed it in.... what now... [05:49] crdlb: it did but leo_rockw said it was universal... and i read about it on the webpage [05:49] crdlb: the new version of pidgin autoresizes the textbox... pretty annoying [05:49] crdlb: they forked it because of that. [05:49] leo_rockw: but it only resizes _up_ [05:50] (12:49:50 AM) leo_rockw: crdlb: they forked it because of that. << What's the fork called? [05:50] leo_rockw: many of the users who originally complained were not seeing the intentional result [05:50] carrier [05:50] Is Serpentine not installed in Hardy? [05:50] joejoecircusboy: the present name is carrier. the first name was funpidgin [05:50] joejoecircusboy, carrier [05:50] thx [05:50] crdlb: whats the intentional result? [05:50] crdlb: I use kopete anyway [05:51] Dexikiix: that it grows as needed. If you type more than two lines, it increases; but if you only type a short message, the input box doesn't waste space [05:51] last night i uninstalled some softwares which i don't use, now after rebooting this morning, i can't see my anything on my desktop. neither i can go to any /Home or orher Place. [05:51] the error says "There was an error launching the default action command associated with this location." [05:51] crdlb: i wouldn't mind that, but it grows after i press enter and stays bigger [05:51] I swear to god, OSS developers intentionally pick the crappiest possible names for their projects [05:51] hi, i'm trying to install linux-source and it says: Err http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/main linux-source-2.6.24 2.6.24-19.34 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.46 80] [05:51] i removed 'evolution', games, rythmbox [05:51] is that normal? [05:52] joejoecircusboy: why do you say that? GIMP is such a great name :P [05:52] hehe [05:52] dmi3on: try ls /dev/sd and instead of hitting enter hit tab [05:52] joejoecircusboy, is an awesome screen name [05:52] haha, thx [05:52] dmi3on: do you have only one HD? [05:52] leo_rockw, i find i have sda3 were i instal ubuntu [05:53] dpkg-deb: subprocess killed by signal (Broken pipe) [05:53] crdlb: leo_rockw ^ [05:53] Dexikiix: after pressing enter, the input box should always return to 2 lines [05:53] leo_rockw, doesnt work [05:53] folks wht do i do now? i can't see my folders/files. it says "There was an error launching the default action command associated with this location." [05:53] dmi3on: I'm not really that experienced with grub. I don't even dual boot [05:53] crdlb: yeah it does but its annoying, i want it to stay at 1 line... [05:53] okk [05:53] <_numbers_> is ubuntu more stable than using fedora ?? [05:53] how do i know what i removed so that i can reinstall it [05:54] _numbers_: No, they're about the same [05:54] <_numbers_> ok [05:54] _numbers_: define stable [05:54] can any one help me with dual boot [05:54] _numbers_, try the livecd; this is a support channel [05:54] I drag the terminal launcher to the top taskbar and when I restart X it is not there. Then I drag another and suddenly I have 2. [05:54] i probably can dmi3on, whats the problem? [05:54] <_numbers_> everything disappears on fedora for me [05:54] dmi3on: maybe i can [05:54] _numbers_, that is an opinion I say try them both and decide on your own [05:54] _numbers_: then try ubuntu :) [05:54] i cant load vista and i cant load ubuntu error 25 [05:54] I like both for different reasons [05:54] _numbers_: Ubuntu does the same, it's a feature in the lastest Gnome [05:54] _numbers_, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [05:54] <_numbers_> when i minimize xchat,torrent client,amsn etc.. [05:54] _numbers_: (joking) [05:54] first, what loader are you using dmi3on, grub? [05:55] RadiCal, after i fallow this steps [05:55] Dexikiix: edit > preferences > conversations > minimimum input area height in lines ? [05:55] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [05:55] lemme see === linux_ is now known as DareDevil [05:55] how can i see which older versions are available for linux-source ? [05:55] minal launcher to the top taskbar and when I restart X it is not there. Then I drag another and suddenly I have 2. [05:55] * Penol (n=Penol@eth1.no) Quit (Read error: 113 (No route to host)) [05:55] i probably can dmi3on, whats the problem? [05:55] <_numbers_> everything disappears on fedora for me [05:55] dmi3on: maybe i can [05:55] dmi3on: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:55] _numbers_, that is an opinion I say try them both and decide on your own [05:55] mib_9yamva: apt-cache search linux-source [05:55] paste.ubuntu.com dmi3on not here [05:56] Dexikiix: that's new in 2.4.2, I don't know if hardy has that yet [05:56] crdlb: that option doesnt exist [05:56] dmi3on, you can also ask for help in #grub, which could give you better answers [05:56] ah [05:56] dmi3on, let me see what error 25 means... [05:56] hi.. my cd drive doesn't want to open anymore in Ubuntu, this happens a lot lately.. what could be wrong.. [05:56] crdlb: what are you on? [05:56] the eject button on the drive does not respond; there is no dvd/cd in the drive; eject on terminal does not work either [05:57] profoX`: sure it's not a mechanical problem? [05:57] Dexikiix: this machine is running another distro which isn't really relevent :> [05:57] profoX`: Does it work during POST? [05:57] cd/dvd drive itself works, after a reboot it works in ubuntu as well, until it decides to not work [05:57] joejoecircusboy: yes [05:57] crdlb: ok [05:57] LSD|Ninja: i am pretty sure [05:57] profoX`: If it opens during POST, not a mechanical problem [05:57] profoX`, try it as root in a cli [05:58] dmi3on, its a disk-read error [05:58] open and shell and type sudo eject [05:58] repsol_: already tried that didnt work [05:58] hi i was thinking is there a software for ubuntu to extract video from web site like movie thriller? [05:58] dmi3on, have you checked to make sure you've pointed grub to the right drive for XP and/or ubuntu? [05:58] RadiCal, how can i fix it ? [05:58] some app is using it then profoX` [05:58] Hey all, I'm having a scrolling problem in firefox. It is laggy, mainly when i'm in a box to edit text. The thing is, it works fine on my other computer, which is not as good. [05:58] hey I'm tyring to get a cron job working but need some help [05:58] repsol_: there is no cd/dvd in the drive.. [05:58] RadiCal, no :( [05:58] I know but some app is using it [05:58] Optical question for you guys. Sata optical, working until about a week ago, now not seen by 8.04. Link is still intact in fstab, but I cannot see it in /dev. thanks in advance. [05:58] RadiCal, i didnt think is so sirous [05:58] hmm.. I had a dvd in it a while ago, I ejected the dvd, I closed it again, and now it won't open up anymore.. [05:58] do you have a movie or music app running? [05:59] this has happened more times already [05:59] Wavesonics: what are you trying to do, what have you tried, and how did it not work? [05:59] profoX`: try 'lsof', grep for the drive's dev file [05:59] repsol_: umm, no [05:59] joejoecircusboy: k [05:59] dmi3on - > goto /boot/grub/menu.lst [05:59] WhoNeedszzz: Which sites? [05:59] cratel: Sorry i posting this: http://pastebin.com/df01595b [05:59] open that up, dmi3on, root will help if you need to edit it. [05:59] joejoecircusboy: ahh.. ok i got it [05:59] does that look like the right format? [05:59] hi, I'm using the last ubuntu and I have a hard time playing video .mov I'm able to open them with mplayer but the navigation is almost impossible, when I open them into vlc, the sounds works but not the image. Also I notice on vlc that ffmpeg "ffmpeg decoder error: more than 5 seconds of late video -> dropping frame (computer too slow ?)" ... and the computer is less than a year hold with... [05:59] bobertdos: can't say off the top of my head, the main one right now is a forum site [05:59] ...the right nividia inside and the drivers installed (with envyNG) anybody know what to do ? [05:59] profoX`: what was it/ [06:00] Wavesonics, you want it to run the updateip command hourly? [06:00] joejoecircusboy: some process that was running in the bg which should have stopped already; mplayer [06:00] yes [06:00] okay everyone, good night [06:00] looking for a program like Skype, that is compatible towindows skype people [06:00] profoX`: Ah, good to know... cool [06:00] profoX`, [06:00] 'lo folks [06:00] cratel: yes [06:00] * repsol_ winks [06:00] repsol_: << good call on the music app [06:00] I didn't know it could keep the drive occupied without anything being mounted [06:01] WhoNeedszzz: I have found this to be a problem with no real solution where Firefox is concerned. I suppose the only alternative is to try a different browser. [06:01] joejoecircusboy, we rock [06:01] cratel: it's actuall just a file with some shell commands in it [06:01] bobertdos: that won't happen [06:01] Wavesonics: I've never seen the SHELL line there. It might make sense but I've never seen it. Did you read to add that somewhere in a cron? [06:01] hehe [06:01] cratel: ya it was in an example somewhere [06:02] bobertdos: firefox rules. And it works fine on my laptop and i'm running all the same stuff so there must be some setting that got messed up or something [06:02] cratel: are cron jobs run as the user who's crontab they are on? [06:02] Wavesonics, once an hour on the hour you'd have an entry like: 0 * * * * /home/adam/cronJobs/updateIp [06:02] WhoNeedszzz: If it has anything to do with anything, my guess would be Compiz Fusion. [06:02] * joejoecircusboy can't wait to buy the 2010 edition Oxford Dictionary, with the word 'unmount' in it :P [06:03] joejoecircusboy: really? [06:03] Wavesonics, I believe they are run as whatever user you set them up with using crontab -e. Have a look at http://www.adminschoice.com/docs/crontab.htm [06:03] whats the description [06:03] bobertdos: that can't be as disabling it doesn't change anything [06:03] Wavesonics: also I think the SHELL line is just wrong and I'd take it out. I don't see why you'd need it. It should be in your updateIP as the first line instead. [06:03] (01:03:15 AM) profoX`: joejoecircusboy: really? << just joking about an early convo... nm [06:03] hi guys [06:04] Wavesonics, first line of updateIP might be #!/bin/bash [06:04] i see i have removed nautilus , good thing is Synaptic had History!! [06:04] WhoNeedszzz: Well, all I know is that I've run into it too for only certain sites, and I haven't found a fix either [06:04] ok [06:04] oo.. oke ;p [06:04] now as i have removed nautilus, i would like to experiment, wht will be a more light-weight file manager? [06:04] how do i set it so when i right-click an image i get an option "edit" which opens kolourpaint? [06:04] Anyone actually know a solution? [06:04] it is a good thing! I always forget what I was doing/installing [06:04] (in nautilus) [06:05] anybody else fooled with that app, yakuake? [06:05] debasys: Try ROX. [06:05] junkDawgie: used to use it [06:05] I just downloaded it [06:05] #ubuntu.es === Killer_Python is now known as OMar87 [06:05] it looks kinda cool so far === OMar87 is now known as Omar87 [06:05] junkDawgie: nowadays I just keep 1 terminal window with screen running open at all times.. === bderrly_ is now known as bderrly [06:06] (yakuake is a bit cooler though) [06:06] Grobvok: sure :) [06:06] that sounds logical profox [06:06] cratel: how would i get it to fire minutely for testing? [06:06] is there a way to enable or verify if sli is running? (nvidia 9600 cards) [06:06] that was my thought too.... when you use it enough... its cool [06:06] murraymd: I'm guessing nvidia-settings? [06:06] Wavesonics, replace the 0 in the first column with a * [06:07] debasys, i like pcmanfm [06:07] cratel: aahh ok i get how these thigns work onw, thanks man [06:07] Wavesonics: sure. Gotta go. Good luck. [06:07] thanks man [06:07] debasys, or thunar if you need more functionality [06:07] itai-michaelson: u mean PCMan, can i install Thunar in Gnome or i need XFCE? === eltech- is now known as eltech [06:08] well i've been playing around with the x server setting but i can't seem to get anything to actually write out plain as day sli. i've tried a few switched throught the terminal with nvidia-xconfig -sli. nuthing to really verify [06:08] how do i get flash on ff? [06:08] debasys, you can install in gnome kde no problem [06:08] lol, will dolphin ever be solid.... thunar just seems more reliable [06:08] debasys, http://pcmanfm.sourceforge.net/ [06:08] I have a laptop with 3 gigs of RAM... Should i set swappiness to 0 since the RAM would suffice any requirements of ubuntu???? [06:08] Scorp: set swappiness to 5 [06:09] (01:08:11 AM) jb_on_eee: how do i get flash on ff?<< http://ubuntuguide.org [06:09] <_illuminati> Scorp, 0 swap is enough [06:09] jb_on_eee: if you go to a website that has a flash animation embedded (ie, any youtube site) then there'll be a bar at the top of the firefox window that says "Install Missing Plugins..." [06:09] jb_on_eee: just click that. [06:09] itai-michaelson: yes just googled ;) [06:09] ugh [06:09] hello. how do I change from gdm to kdm ? [06:09] this is bugging me [06:09] (01:08:59 AM) s3a: Scorp: set swappiness to 5 << what does this do? [06:09] eddiestone, are you on hardy? [06:09] debasys, pcmanfm is also in the repos , you can apt-get [06:09] yea [06:10] logout [06:10] options on the bottom left [06:10] select session [06:10] and you can pick there [06:10] dexikiix: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:10] no. [06:10] i used to have a gf that had swappiness set to 500 [06:10] eddiestone sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm [06:10] that's it, thanks [06:10] eddiestone: ok i fail [06:10] :p [06:10] joejoecircusboy: ubuntu tends to depend on ram much more than hard drive but doesnt fully neglect hard drive which keeps things speedy both wen ur full of ram and almost depleted of it [06:11] itai-michaelson: oh sure i have to now, as i know now they paid you ;) [06:11] no problem [06:11] joejoecircusboy: wen u set swappiness to 5 [06:11] s3a: How do you get to know what effect does it have ?? Because even while running a HD movie, the RAM remains unused.. So is dat needed ?? [06:11] does anyone know an equivalent of Skype for hardy and is compatible with actual skype users [06:11] debasys, i get 5$ for every download [06:11] joejoecircusboy: How do you get to know what effect does it have ?? Because even while running a HD movie, the RAM remains unused.. So is dat needed ?? [06:11] sajuuk skype? [06:12] will cron jobs be run even when a user is not logged in? [06:12] sajuuk: Skype is available in the multiverse, you know. [06:12] s3a/Scorp: I get the idea behind 'swappiness', just wonder what the value 5 did specifically (say versus 0 or 99) [06:12] it is? [06:12] no idea sajuuk..... skype is the only program that i think uses that protocal [06:12] sajuuk no, you can get it from medibuntu [06:12] is there any utils to monitor a brother laser toner level? [06:12] Is it possible to have Gnome Terminal display tabs as two spaces instead of 4? [06:12] Ok this is just weird. If the window isn't the active window, the scrolling problem goes away. Why is this happening? [06:12] !medibuntu | sajuuk [06:12] sajuuk: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [06:12] joejoecircusboy: The lower the number, the lesser dependence on SWAP and vice versa... [06:12] itai-michaelson: wah! then make a affiate also ;) [06:12] Scorp: i know the effect bcuz ive done it lol i cant rely say more than that and 0 suks wen ur almost out of ram cuz it tries not to use hard drive [06:13] i never would have thought ubuntu would be slow with 384 megs of ram [06:13] thx guys [06:13] pikeshouse88 yeah, it needs more than 512 for snappiness [06:13] pikeshouse88: I'd just like to point out that I'm running with 8192 MB of RAM right now! :D [06:13] sajuuk, you can also go here : http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/ [06:13] itai-michaelson: guess if i by any change had removed Windows Explorer, will i be using internet, chatting etc now?! [06:13] joejoecircusboy: cuz 0 tends to to avoid hard drive alot which is annoying wen ur almost depleted so 5 just uses it but very little but not too litle so if ur ram is almost done u still have speedy responsive systewm [06:13] i am feeling lucky for using linuc [06:13] thats where i got it. itai [06:13] luinux [06:14] joejoecircusboy: Guess u should try a negative number for swappiness !! :D [06:14] would xubuntu be snappy with 384? [06:14] leenux [06:14] joejoecircusboy: depleted of ram that is [06:14] s3a: Gotcha, thx [06:14] anyone? [06:14] Scorp: joejoecircusboy: how much ram do u both have? [06:14] or decent with 384? xfce [06:14] pikehouse88: yes [06:14] s3a: 8 GB [06:14] s3a: I have 3 gb RAM and a 1 GB Graphic Card... [06:14] decent or snappy [06:14] joejoecircusboy: lol then u shouldnt even have a swap file [06:14] not that i'm aware of, aechols [06:15] thx, i couldnt find any [06:15] s3a: I thought the kernel got 'cranky' without a swap file (or so I read anyway) [06:15] Scorp: 32 or 64 bit? [06:15] 32 [06:15] Scorp: stick to ram only [06:15] wbmj: would you say decent or fast [06:15] joejoecircusboy: well in my case ram only is much faster [06:15] joejoecircusboy: wen im on 32 bit [06:16] joejoecircusboy: on 64 i havent tested cuz i only have 1 gb atm [06:16] pikehouse88: I found it to be decent with heavy apps and fast with others [06:16] s3a: yeah... thanks..!! [06:16] s3a: I'm on 64bit (obviously) w/ 512 MB swap (0 bytes used - default swapiness) [06:16] with 384 being a weird number and all, is my optimal swap size 512, 768, or 1 gig? [06:16] joejoecircusboy: ur the one with 8 gb ram? [06:16] Scorp: np [06:17] pikehouse88:768 [06:17] s3a: ya, both machines are 8 GB [06:17] joejoecircusboy: whats the rest of ur config ?? and what do u use the 8 gb for ??? [06:17] joejoecircusboy: ok so if u rely rely want to use swap then set swappiness to 5 but id go without swap if u want to check for urself put the swappiness to 5 and use gparted to unmount and mount swap and see wats better for urself [06:18] Scorp: Intel P35, Core 2 Duo E8500, Geforce 8800, 8 GB... 24" LCD (1920x1200), etc etc [06:18] Scorp: What do I do with 8 GB? Go on IRC :P [06:18] Hello, I'm unable to ping anything on a particular interface. I think it's an iptables problem. How can I disable iptables? [06:19] joejoecircusboy: haha.. thats really hardware intensive.. :P shud use a swap for all the Log files maybe... lol === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [06:19] hadronzoo_: sudo iptables --flush [06:19] Rat409: thanks, I'll try that [06:19] <|anonymous|> hi i missing utf-8 [06:19] joejoecircusboy: id have vista with that. that would have vista very happy [06:20] ok this is KILLING me [06:20] dexi@SUNUP-LINUX:~/Documents/carrier-2.4.3$ ./configure [06:20] bash: ./configure: No such file or directory [06:20] Scorp: hehe... (In all seriousness.. I run a bunch of VMs, but mainly I just bought the extra 4 GB because it was so cheap) [06:20] joejoecircusboy: Thats kewl.... [06:21] Rat409: I'm still getting a "sendmsg: operation not permitted" error. Could it be anything else? It was working previously [06:21] pikeshouse88: Not really intested in Vista... I haven't even tried it yet (still use XP for gaming) [06:22] [GNOME] The DEB program package is installed. In an xterm I run the command nm-applet. This command does not finish, and no nm-applet appears on the upper panel. How to troubleshoot? [06:22] <|anonymous|> guys i missing utf what pack i do need [06:22] so swap space is always supposed to be double the size of the ram right [06:22] <|anonymous|> ? [06:22] s3a: where's the best place to adjust swappiness? sysctl.conf? [06:22] pikeshouse88: not really... well, it depends (that would make my swap file 16 GB!) [06:23] hi!? [06:23] anybody's here? [06:23] pikeshouse88: I wouldn't go much more than 1x RAM actually (and even then, only so you can suspend) [06:23] if i had 256 megs of ram, swap would be 512, if 512 ram, swap 1GB, right? [06:23] |anonymous|, what do you mean? [06:24] pikeshouse88: seriously, if you were running with 512 of used swap on a 256 MB system, you wouldn't be getting much done ;) [06:24] joejoecircusboy: ok do sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf then add vm.swappiness=5 on last line and save [06:24] so ideal swap space for 384MB ram would be...... [06:24] itai-michaelson: i installed PCMan, it is fast , but how do i see my desktop? [06:24] s3a: thanks man [06:24] <|anonymous|> i traying to install smoting but i need utf-8 [06:25] pikeshouse88: usually 2.5 x ram [06:25] itai-michaelson: it does not show icons that were on the desktop, i have to browse to the Desktop folder to see them [06:25] joejoecircusboy: np [06:25] hi ... When I try logging on amsn from this computer, it doesn't work ... When I try from my other machine there's no problem ... Here it just keeps connecting and never connects ... Anyone know why that is ? [06:25] pikeshouse88: I would say 512 at most [06:25] im getting conflicting answers here [06:25] debasys, are you using it as a desktop manager [06:25] itai-michaelson: got it, i should have checked preferences before asking [06:25] pikeshouse88: yeah, because there is no 'correct' answer [06:26] pikeshouse88: usually people say if its under 1gb, double the amount of ram you have to get your swap [06:26] pikeshouse88: I can't imagine you ever saying to yourself 'wow, I'm using a 1000 MB of swap right now. Boy am I glad I created the extra swap space' [06:26] pikehouse88, but people always deviate from that so its your discretion. you dont want too much but you need enough so that applications remain somewhat fast. [06:26] joejoecircusboy how does excess swap memory help [06:27] pikeshouse88: because in practice, if you're using 1000 MB of swap, your system has ground to a halt [06:27] zod21: it doesn't, that's my point [06:27] i use a 1 gig flash drive as my swap [06:27] oh haha [06:27] Can `cp` give you any indication of its progress? [06:27] pikeshouse88: my old desktop has 320mb ram w/3gb swap onlu used during big compiles,700mhz celeron [06:27] lol. [06:27] i was asking trying my best not to sound like a smart a$$ [06:27] haha [06:27] anyone have an idea ? [06:28] Miesco_: why would you want cp to give *me* progress? [06:28] joejoecircusboy: fuck you [06:29] lol [06:29] ..language Nazis [06:29] Why is that everytime I'm in here I have to wait 30min before anyone starts concidering my question ? [06:29] ~language | Miesco_ [06:30] I'm not getting any sound in flash player (sounds working in everything else). Ideas? [06:30] !language | Miesco_ [06:30] Miesco_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [06:30] Detra: Apparently you log in and ask 30 minutes before the people who know the answers to your questions [06:30] Detra: firewall rules,or port forwarding,router,etc. or amsn bad config [06:30] Flynsarmy: OSS? [06:30] Kohlrak, Firefox - both media player and the shockwave player extensions. Ubuntu hardy [06:30] Detra: You could try reinstalling with apt-get [06:30] Rat409, it worked up until yesterday ... [06:31] Flynsarmy, i mean are you using ALSA or OSS? [06:31] Scorp, I did ... [06:31] Kohlrak, Whatever's default in hardy i suppose [06:31] Detra, do you get any errors if you run from terminal? [06:31] So about my scrolling problem. If the object i'm trying to scroll doesn't have the focus, it scrolls fine, but if I give it focus, it has the lag. I'm really lost here [06:31] Detra maybe try channel #amsn [06:31] Flynsarmy, but video plays fine? [06:31] Kohlrak, yes [06:31] legend2440, thx [06:32] Detra, did u change anything apart from that ?? wireless ports or firewall settings [06:32] Kohlrak, Although often takes up very large amounts of CPU [06:32] Flynsarmy, I actually had a problem like that earlier, but with a different program. Did you try rebooting? [06:32] maybe amsn might need to be updated, Detra?..... IM servers change protocols often [06:32] Kohlrak, Nah, not yet working atm. will try that later. was just wondering if it was a common thing [06:33] hi all, i got one litle question... Is it possible to delete ubuntu icon next to the menu bar? [06:33] Flynsarmy: i have the same problem [06:33] anyone knows how to switch tabs between PCMan File Manager?? [06:33] Flynsarmy: might be. [06:33] h3llm17, try rebooting. [06:33] can i customize that? [06:33] [GNOME] The DEB program package is installed. In an xterm I run the command nm-applet. This command does not finish, and no nm-applet appears on the upper panel. How to troubleshoot? [06:33] anyone know if the torrent program 'transmission' needs any ports forwarded through my router? [06:33] Flash player has had so many problems in the last few months. It's the only real annoying thing on ubuntu besides not being able to play some wmv's [06:34] yeah flash is always crashing in opera and firefox alike [06:34] is flash 10 supposed to be any good? [06:34] i would bet it does.... BT usually requires a port forward [06:34] gah this is so annoying [06:34] why doesn't ./configure work!? [06:34] Flynsarmy: Actually, i've noticed it improve the last few months. At least it works in 64. [06:35] I seem to always have problems with flash and firefox [06:35] Kohlrak, It never used to use up such huge amounts of CPU as it does now. and it crashes firefox quite often [06:35] titan :( [06:35] Kohlrak: Really? It refuses to play video about half the time for me, and I have to restart the browser (64bit Firefox) [06:35] flash is evil,, titan [06:35] <|anonymous|> Could not open the file /home/anonymous/Desktop/?oad/et-linux-2.60.x86.run. [06:35] how do i open file from terminal when i what to edit ? [06:35] junkDawgie: for sure [06:35] <|anonymous|> gedit has not been able to detect the character coding. [06:35] <|anonymous|> Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file. [06:36] <|anonymous|> Select a character coding from the menu and try again. [06:36] Well, that's because flash is like java. It runs in a VM... anyway... It used to not run in gutsy 64. [06:36] Flynsarmy: That's one nice thing about 64bit Firefox, while flash in nspluginwrapper doesn't work half the time, at least it doesn't take the browser down :D [06:36] Dexikiix some apps you just make make install,some req ./autogen.sh or cmake . depends on app. read the readme/install files [06:36] Rat409: install file said "type ./configure" [06:36] k [06:36] im sure i was in the right dir [06:36] every six months they have a security update with Flash... scares me [06:36] what is command to open text file from a terminal window ? [06:37] Believe it or not, i really don't have a problem with flash on ubuntu. Only when i am using OSS and/or ran a bunch of videos at once [06:37] dmi3on-1, gedit [06:37] Scorp, thx my memory is not good [06:37] BTW, did you guys know that Flash has it's own set of tracking cookies that aren't flushed when the browser clears it's files? [06:37] Hello, can someone help me with a networking issue? eth0 gets a dhcp ip address, but I can't ping anything but the ip address assigned to the interface (Operation not permitted). I flushed iptables. [06:37] *its [06:37] Does anyone know how to fix the scrolling problem in firefox? [06:37] junkDawgie: Probably because with proprietary companies, updated security means updated anti-open sorce stuff or anti-piracy stff [06:38] What scrolling problem in firefox? [06:38] dmi3on-1, you should probably keep a text file on ur desktop with all commands u need most.. [06:38] dmi3on-1, you could also type history and get the list of the last 500 commands u've used in the terminal [06:39] hadronzoo_: where is the dhcp server running? [06:39] very true, Kohlrak.... claim security update and slip you some evil code [06:39] Hadronzoo_, maybe it's the router or something? never saw it before [06:39] i'm sure its done... they have to get paid [06:39] I have a question. I am using awn (a dock program) and do not want any menus. is it safe to unistall gnome-panel, or is there a hack to get no panels ? [06:39] junkDawgie, that's the rule of windows. Plus they add "features." [06:39] joejoecircusboy: I'm running a DHCP server for eth1, and on eth0, the dhcp server is on an airpot express basestation [06:39] Radiant, I'm also using awn, you can safely remove bottom panel [06:39] Radiant: dont uninstall it, just remove the panels... [06:40] Radiant, you can remove the panel === mylogic_ is now known as mylogic [06:40] big reason i fdisk'd WinXP, Kohl [06:40] A real vulnerability in windows is MessageBoxW... There's a trick with it that can BSOD, and ms knew about it since.... I think 95... Still not fixed... [06:40] hadronzoo_: so the Ubuntu system is both a dhcp server (eth1), and a dhcp client (eth0) ? [06:40] Newbie question - I am yet to install ubuntu on harddisk, I have 10-15 gb unpartitioned space on my harddisk, will ubuntu automatically partition the space and will 10-15gb be enough for desktop install ?? [06:41] Darunia: yes [06:41] thanx [06:41] Darunia: Yes, in the alternate CD i know for sure you can [06:41] www.google.com [06:41] Darunia: 10-15 is plenty, you'll have a few choices for what to do, just make sure you either tell it to use unpartitioned space, or do it manually. [06:41] Radiant, it is possible, have a look on Google for the HowTo: But easy way, put you panel at the bottom, transparent and autohide. It won't show up and also you won't loose some features from the gnome-panel (as the Notif area) [06:41] Darunia: also plenty of disk space [06:41] Darunia, 15 GB is good enough for Ubuntu Desktop [06:41] Darunia: That's even enough for Windows, and ubuntu requires alot less than windows. [06:41] so 784 or 1gig? [06:41] [GNOME] How to install the 'window selector' program? [06:41] joejoecircusboy: yes, I limited the dhcp server to eth1 (which appears to be working correctly). The address given to eth0 is not from the local server === box is now known as m4lmsteen [06:42] hello what is good application to use for web developer like me?(free opensource) is aptana good? [06:42] bullgard4: right-click panel? [06:42] bullgard4, as far as I know window selector is a desklet and can be add via 'add to panel' [06:42] nice [06:42] igp: i like quanta for web development [06:42] jigp: i like quanta for web development [06:43] thetitan: i'm curious, does that work with php files as well? i was thinking about getting something like that too, but wanted to get something that'll help me manage a bunch of php files. [06:43] holy toledo ... there is 1180 nicks heree [06:43] hadronzoo_: can you do a 'netstat -rn', a 'ifconfig -a' and a 'ethtool eth0' and paste the output to http://paste.ubuntu.com [06:43] junkDawgie: and most of them are probably afk [06:43] PARTY [06:43] 1181 but whose counting :P [06:44] jigp: also bluefish scribus are popular,i'm no coder tho [06:44] we should have our own concert [06:44] kohlrak: Yeah im a web developer and i use PHP and MySql mostly and its a pretty good IDE... I have also used Zend(Not Open Source) and that is good and Eclipse for PHP is great, but its slow as a mother [06:44] thetitan Rat409 : how to run the code?in winblows i use wamp and xamp..what about in ubuntu?thanks [06:44] !lamp | jigp [06:44] jigp: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [06:44] PHP+MySQL is an IDE? [06:44] joejoecircusboy: I would have to type it. Can you tell me what to look for? [06:45] #kde [06:45] jigp: a LAMP server [06:45] jigp: jedit is supposedly good too (I use emacs myself) [06:45] thetitan: i don't mean for coding. I mean more along the lines of a manger like i've seen in popular html editors like frontpage.. Though, truth be told, until soon i've only ever used notepad.exe (windows) and gedit for web pages XD [06:45] kohlrak: yeah, its a full IDE for managing progects, all of them [06:46] jigp: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#Install_a_LAMP_server_on_a_Desktop [06:46] hadronzoo_: hmmm [06:46] cool [06:46] thetitan joejoecircusboy Flannel : i already installed lamp. but how to know if the lamp is running?i tried by typing: http://localhost but no result [06:46] ill have to remember to install that. [06:46] jigp: localhost should work. you get an error? [06:46] jigp: try the command "/etc/init.d/apache2 restart" [06:46] hadronzoo_: do you have a usb key you can copy the output to? [06:46] looking for a vmware alternative with gui suggestions please? [06:46] jigp: try the command start i meant [06:47] jigp: try the command "/etc/init.d/apache2 start" [06:47] tyler_1: virtualbox is good.

[06:47] holy cow a flooder :| [06:47] i have heard good things about VB... haven't used it yet myself [06:47] tyler_1, Use the version from their website rather than the one from apt though, the one from apt is useless [06:47] how do we change rooms here ?? [06:48] joejoecircusboy: shoot, no I don't. I just installed this machine and managed to screw it up. Should I just reinstall? [06:48] Scorp: depends on your client, but /join #channel is a safe bet [06:48] /j #roomname [06:48] Flynsarmy: beautiful advice ty :) [06:48] junkDawgie: you'll hear good things about programming languages by it's users. From me, you'll hear good things about assembly. XD [06:48] Flannel: ohh ya... was lookin for that... thanks [06:48] junkDawgie: Ya, I'm waiting for the OSS version to include USB support [06:48] join /KDE [06:48] I installed XP and Vista and DreamLinux in VirtualBox and they are all running quite well. [06:48] push, move and all that,, Kohl [06:48] junkDawgie: Without USB it's kinda pointless... And if I go with the closed source free version, then I just have a shittier version of the free vmware products [06:49] Scorp: like /join #kde or ##linux etc. [06:49] getting hardware to work in a virtual machine is what they all fight..... and VMWare did it best/firstest [06:49] joejoecircusboy: Why do you need the USB in a virtualized OS? [06:49] hadronzoo_: try pinging your router, then run 'arp -a' and print the output [06:50] wow, i install quanta and 2 new programs appear. [06:50] Rat409, Shujah: Thank you very much for your help.

KDE apps [06:51] junkDawgie: nah, helpers. [06:51] we should write a song about "dependancies" [06:51] ROFLMAO [06:51] Anyone know how ot install wxwidgets on ubuntu to get code::blocks compiling WITHOUT modifying compiler/linker options? ive done it once before but forgotten waht the packages are [06:52] joejoecircusboy: I see, you won't have any choice but Vmware or closed free Virtualbox then. But that is not a big deal, if you really need it. === weiyi is now known as iamsempr [06:52] could someone suggest to me another program for opening .mkv's? vlc gets an error, and totem movie player plays it extremelyslowly, and only plays it after i move the seek bar around a bi [06:52] junkDawgie: maybe add how the likelyhood of them disappearing with a purged app is... or does it check the dependencies for ones that'll become unused after it's gone? [06:52] DrRealHouse: Ya, but I would rather use OSS VB... but alas, no USB support (yet)... maybe in the next major release [06:52] joejoecircusboy: "? (192.168.0.10) at [ether] on eth1" === iamsempr is now known as weiyi [06:52] What's wrong with the open source'd Vbox? [06:53] moreau: mplayer,xine maybe [06:53] you have a grip on the problem, Kohl [06:53] joejoecircusboy: "? (10.0.1.1) at [ether] on eth0" [06:53] hadronzoo_: You're sure 192.168.0.10 is the correct IP for the router? (Also, what IP is assigned to eth0) ? [06:53] hi, I need little help. Just upgraded linux from 2.6.22.14 to 2.6.22.15 and I got err message: "starting virtualbox kernel driver... modprobe vboxdrv failed... please use dmesg to find out why...". My question is: Why this msg is shown only during boot process. I searched all log files and I can't find it. I run 'dmesg' and nothing there (http://pastebin.ca/1094475) [06:53] what is this 'pulseaudio' process displaying as running and taking 5.8 of my memory in System Manager!? [06:53] hadronzoo_: Did you strip the MAC address? [06:53] i did not install that!! [06:53] joejoecircusboy: yes [06:54] hadronzoo_: ah, cool... so arp is working (nevermind previous questions) [06:54] joejoecircusboy: my router on eth1 is 10.0.1.1 [06:54] !PulseAudio | debasys [06:54] debasys: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [06:54] maybe that's an idea for a new program to be released: "Needless library remover" === weiyi is now known as t-weiyi [06:54] joejoecircusboy: cool, progress :) [06:54] i cant load vista or ubuntu, i had vista and i install ubuntu. i get a problem grub wasnt loading so try to fix is fallowing this first 5 steps https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows now i can load vista or ubuntu [06:54] joejoecircusboy: sorry, my router on eth0 rather [06:54] i fix menu.lst [06:55] hadronzoo_: does your router have a web interface? If so, can you try telnetting to it "telnet 10.0.1.1 80" [06:55] Hey guys, how can I reduce the file fragmentation on my file system? [06:55] but still get error 25 [06:55] dmi3on: thanks, i am gonna need that link later. You found it before i went for it. [06:55] dmi3on, This is the best site ive found for dual or tripple booting with ubuntu/xp/vista http://www.howtoforge.com/dual_boot_windows_xp_vista_ubuntu_feisty [06:55] brent113: Copy your files to a new file system [06:55] mm4m5m: The driver is not loaded automatically in the latest version of Ubuntu, don't know why. You have to "sudo modprobe vboxdrv" first. [06:55] joejoecircusboy, Ok without doing that, since it's a 2tb filesystem [06:55] I thought linux doesnt allow for file fragmentation [06:55] joejoecircusboy: it's an airport extreme. I can't telnet but I may be able to it another way [06:55] brent113: Unfortunately, that's your only option, AFAIK [06:56] mm4m5m: or add vboxdrv to the /etc/modules file... [06:56] you need to install SunOS too, Flyn [06:56] sajuuk: not linux, the file system... XD [06:56] DrRealHouse: ok, thank you, will try. But why it is not in log files? [06:56] hadronzoo_: The idea is to try to establish a TCP connection between your laptop and the router [06:56] Hi, i'd like to remove both panels (gnome-panel), is there a way to do this? [06:56] still, doesnt linux manage the file systems in its own special way compared to how windows does it? [06:57] joejoecircusboy: I can't ping from the router side (using another machine). I also can't ssh [06:57] can any one help me fix problem with grub ? [06:57] sajuuk: Yea. it doesn't view each storage device as a letter, therefor allowing plenty more devices. [06:57] pls i get error 25 [06:57] hadronzoo_: what IP is assigned to eth0? [06:57] Flynsarmy: as the site says, its a sound server, it is like an interface between the hardware and the application making sound, so if a remove it will my audio will be gone too!? [06:57] mm4m5m: Sorry, just re-read you message, and your vboxdrv is not found. Did you installed it? it is a different package. [06:57] joejoecircusboy: 10.0.1.199 [06:57] plus, windows doesn't work on ext3 AFAIK [06:58] mm4m5m: look for "vbox" in synaptic [06:58] hadronzoo_: netmask is /24 or shorter? [06:58] Flynsarmy, the link you give me i can find think that relates to my problem :( [06:58] debasys, I'm not sure, i dont know much at all about PulseAudio. What i do know though is that it causes problems for just about everyone [06:58] Hi, i'd like to remove both panels (gnome-panel), is there a way to do this? [06:58] joejoecircusboy: it's really odd, because I can't ping anything on either interface. Netmask /24 (255.255.255.0) [06:58] mm4m5m: In my case, (amd64) the binary was not available until recently so I had to compile it from the package source.

[06:58] i always marvel when i look at a 'nix file system with a bootable CD or sumpin..... thoroughly confusing [06:58] RageMachine: right click, just becareful doing that though [06:58] Flynsarmy: i think it should not take away sound from system as it says 'it allows to do advanced operations ' [06:59] not what you see in a file manager [06:59] RageMachine: that's not a particularly good idea as some things rely on the panel (notably the alt+f2 run dialog) [06:59] hadronzoo_: can you run 'tcpdump -n -i eth0' on the laptop, and try initiating traffic from the router side [06:59] I just installed mplayer, and whenever i use the cmd line to open a file, it tells me 'no such file or directory' even if i type 'mplayer ' and then drag the file into terminal so it copies the right path [06:59] RageMachine: if you really want to do it, run: "gnome-session-remove gnome-panel" [06:59] mm4m5m: Make sure that you have the file vboxdrv.ko in your module (run "locate vboxdrv.ko") [07:00] hadronzoo_: Also, what IP is assigned to eth1?

One more thing: when I switch to first terminal (Alt+Ctrl+F1) I see only last 2 screens, I can page up/down only last 2 screens with boot msgs. Can I do something to be sure that all boot msgs are logged? Globvok: thank you too. [07:00] joejoecircusboy: I'm trying to initiate tcp (ssh) from the router side to the problem box, and I'm seeing the attempts on the problem box [07:00] dmi3on: http://www.uruk.org/orig-grub/errors.html explains error-codes but no soloution [07:01] is this the correct codec for .mkv? copied from terminal after running 'mplayer ' "[mkv] Track ID 1: video (V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC) "Video", -vid 0" [07:01] joejoecircusboy: eth1 is 192.168.0.1 [07:01] Oldrie^Jimmy: hm... i don't know...

[07:01] very urgent, please help [07:02] because its probly errors in /boot/grub/menu.lst [07:02] crdlb: exactly, i dont really want to completely remove it, just not have it visible ever. lol. [07:02] dmi3on: solutions come from knowing what's wrong. If you know what's wrong, you can figure a solution on your own. [07:02] mmm4m5m: Don't know actually, everything from dmesg should be in the /var/log/kernel and /var/log/message. [07:02] Kohlrak: Were can I get it? [07:02] no because ntloader does not load for windows either, this is a new HD bought last week.... [07:02] hadronzoo_: can you do this "iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT && iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT && iptables -F" [07:02] Kohlrak; fyi that doesnt work, gnome-panel requires 1 panel always present [07:02] Oldrie^Jimmy: sudo apt-get install ndis-wrapper? [07:02] RageMachine: you could set it to autohide? [07:02] smokewon: You should be able to install Ubuntu or Windows if you format the whole drive at installation. [07:02] Kohlrak, i am very new to ubuntu and programming it doesnt help me [07:02] DrRealHouse: ok, will read more then. Thank you, thanks to all. [07:02] Grobvok not the case, i have been trying ALL day [07:03] crdlb: its still visible sadly. === omar_ is now known as Omar87 [07:03] Kohlrak" I dont have internet on my Ubuntu... thats why i need this modem driver [07:03] dmi3on: well, if we know the error name with the number, we might be able to help better [07:03] i am not filling happy now when i am asking for help for two hours [07:03] you need to wipe the boot sector of the drive , smokewon [07:03] and yes i did format the whole drive each time ive tried [07:03] can some one help me to set up grub it doesnt load vista or ubuntu error 25 [07:03] JunkDawgie how do i go about that via the Live CD of ubuntu? [07:03] error 25 [07:03] Oldrie^Jimmy: if you're on windows, download it to windows and access it from within ubuntu. [07:03] crdlb: do you know exactly what is affected by deleting gnomepanel? [07:03] you don't [07:03] hey where do i get the -dev package for GLib? [07:03] joejoecircusboy: that worked! [07:03] when grub is loads i select ubuntu i get error 25 [07:04] smokevon: Seems like a fried HD... last time I had this problem, the hardisk died a little time after that. [07:04] Dexikiix: if you're trying to build carrier: sudo apt-get build-dep pidgin [07:04] dmi3on: Have you already looked at the wiki entries? [07:04] I'm having the following problem with gtk: http://paste.ubuntu.com/35007/ [07:04] joejoecircusboy: I can ping the router [07:04] hadronzoo_: Damn, I thought you had said you flushed the rules already :) [07:04] there are tools made by the drive manuf for that and some third party tools too [07:04] anyone know how to fix the problem of some .mkv's not playing in totem movie player, or VLC [07:04] Kohlrak: Yes I'm on windows but to lazy to look for the package, Would packages.ubuntu.com have it? [07:04] crdlb: thanks [07:04] joejoecircusboy: I did "iptables --flush" [07:04] junkDawgie so my HD is pretty much stuffed in other words... [07:04] joejoecircusboy: iptables -L showed no rules [07:04] joejoecircusboy: Maybe I didn't flush them correctly [07:04] Oldrie^Jimmy: Maybe.. never had to do this before [07:04] hadronzoo_: Might have been set to default drop (the -P options changed it to default accept) [07:04] you have to write 0's on the first 6? sectors [07:04] crdlb: so this will just update pidgin, right? [07:04] RageMachine: I guess alt+f2 is the only thing not directly connected with the standard panel functions [07:05] Kohlrak: This is a Phone Modem I'm doing this for. v.v [07:05] that is not done in a format operation [07:05] dmi3on: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=117271&highlight=grub+error+25 [07:05] smokewon: If you need your PC fast, use LiveCD+USB flash combo. [07:05] Dexikiix: build-dep will install everything needed to build pidgin, which should be the same for carrier since it's just a fork [07:05] joejoecircusboy: I see. Thank you so much for your help. How do I save these rules? [07:05] ooh [07:05] thanks ok i get it [07:05] dmi3on: See if that helps any [07:05] hadronzoo_: I'm not real clear on how Ubuntu sets up its iptables ruleset... but you probably just need to stop it from loading it completely [07:05] junkDawgie i have no idea how to do this, im not a programmer, i need this PC working tonight, im at uni, i dont have time for this! all i wanted was to install Ubuntu and i end up with a fried HD!?? [07:05] When I try to install python-gtk it says there are not installation candidate, how so I deal with that? [07:05] Oldrie^Jimmy: I figured as much. NDIS might still be able to help though. I only ever used ethernet and wireless drivers, so outside of ndis, i don't know what to tell you [07:05] no* [07:05] hadronzoo_: (I only use iptables on Red Hat, and it's quite a bit different) [07:06] Kohlrak, after i installed ubuntu i reabot and vista was starting right the way with out grub, so some one give me this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows i fallow first 5 steps and now vista doesnt load and ubuntu too and i get error 25 [07:06] that hard drive is not gonna work tonight [07:06] hadronzoo_: Maybe someone else can help you make it permanent? [07:06] Grobvok sorry what is a LiveCD+USB flash combo?? [07:06] Omar87: python-gtk2 [07:06] joejoecircusboy: I see. OK, I can look online. Thank you so much for your help! [07:06] FUICKM [07:06] ALS JKF A;JS JK;L [07:06] '; [07:06] hadronzoo_: no problem [07:06] smokewon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:07] How do i extract the RAR file in Ubuntu? [07:07] okay.... lets start over.... smokewon.... does any O [07:07] jhb1608, unrar [07:07] aha [07:07] OS get booted? [07:07] dmi3on: i always hated messing with grub... Have you tried supergrub yet? [07:07] terminal, correct :P? [07:07] noo [07:07] jhb1608, or if youre using the GUI you can just right click and extract. make sure you have rar and unrar programs installed [07:07] aha! [07:07] that's probably why [07:07] jhb1608: Make sure that you have unrar install (look in synaptic) [07:07] thanks [07:07] Kohlrak, how do i do this ? [07:08] there are a couple tools on the XP install disk [07:08] just remembered [07:08] let me look [07:08] ok [07:08] i have XP, but XP doesnt load [07:08] dmi3on: look at the page where you got the 5 steps. Look at the table of contents and follow the instructions. [07:08] but it was there before? [07:08] crdlb: Okay, here's the story, yesterday I had a problem with installing a python extension named "Jinja", it needed the python headers. [07:08] i can install it, but i cant boot from any OS anymore, this is rediculous! [07:08] yes i have had many OS"s on this HD [07:08] joejoecircusboy: btw: it's iptables-save [07:08] no no, this happened to me once too [07:08] aha it is not installed [07:09] since last week, i had slackware, XP, Ubuntu, zenwalk on this HD [07:09] thetitan Flannel it works :)but how to saved my php files? how to navigate into folder?im not sure where to run my php... [07:09] Is gparted very reliable at resizing partitions without losing data on those partitions? [07:09] [GNOME] The DEB program package is installed. In an xterm I run the command nm-applet. This command does not finish, and no nm-applet appears on the upper panel. How to install this applet? [07:09] so I'm installing unrar AND RAR [07:09] a working XP install, that GRUB shattered [07:09] hadronzoo_: cool, but... you're probably saving some half installed ruleset (we didn't flush everything either with those commands) [07:09] i reformated with ubuntu live CD, now i cant boot anything, nothing is on this HD at all atm [07:09] thetitan Flannel its 127.0.1.1 the localhost [07:09] you boot the XP install disc and use the recovery mode [07:09] jigp: /var/www usually, but you can set up a virtual host to make one in your home forlder, i recommend that [07:09] its formated, wiped, clean, compleetly [07:09] ah ok [07:09] hadronzoo_: hang on a sec [07:09] recovery mode [07:10] and it will fix this HD problem? [07:10] i think so [07:10] yes [07:10] I use it a lot [07:10] ;) [07:10] i wanted to mount my 2nd hard-drive on startup and added this: # /dev/sdb1 [07:10] UUID=afb304b8-a5a6-4a89-9e4c-480e951dbf1a /media/disk ext3 defaults 0 0: to my fstab [07:10] [GNOME] The DEB program package network-manager-gnome is installed. In an xterm I run the command nm-applet. This command does not finish, and no nm-applet appears on the upper panel. How to install this applet? [07:10] thetitan : you recommend /var/www? but how to navigate there? [07:10] crdlb: So, I tried to download and compile a tarball named "python2.5-2.5.2" and install it from source. [07:10] ok tyvm, i need to do this very quickly, i will be back if im unlucky [07:10] ok [07:10] but it doesnt mount and gives me an error that [07:10] thetitan : Places/Home there is no /var/www [07:10] I'll be here anyways [07:10] he took off too soon [07:10] Omar87: did you install it to /usr/local ? [07:11] joejoecircusboy: ok [07:11] says i cant mount the volume...i am not priviledged [07:11] jigp: don't use home. Places -> Computer -> Filesystem [07:11] he doesn't know the command to execute [07:11] jigp: its in the root directory [07:11] thetitan Flannel all i can see is the desktop folder documents etc [07:11] jigp: go to Computer [07:11] crdlb: Unfortunately, I didn't point it to an exact location.. [07:11] bryc1: type sudo before the comomand. [07:11] he needs to run the fixmbr command from the XP install disc [07:12] hi guys [07:12] oh damn, I forgot to tell him that too [07:12] :( [07:12] maozhang: hello [07:12] sorry if I swear lol. [07:12] jhb.... you have used it too? [07:12] thetitan Kohlrak : i found it thanks :) so everytime im finished with my coded php i will save it to /var/www ? [07:12] yes [07:12] jigp: yes [07:12] i shouldnt do that in an fstab entry [07:12] many times before [07:12] jigp: yup [07:12] crdlb: Now, some python-based apps like emesene refuse to work, they need python-gtk, but I already have it. [07:12] but I'm sticking with Ubuntu for now [07:12] thetitan Kohlrak ah just like what i used to in winblows wamp / xamp [07:13] well, he'll be back.... i have to go, will you tell him, jhb? [07:13] Omar87: they need python-gtk2 [07:13] but I had issues with my tablet in ubuntu [07:13] i'm having trouble using ubuntu to connect to my wireless network. The network name is correct: 'wireless' , Password type: WPA2 Personal, and the password I put is correct too [07:13] jigp: Well, it's not as much trouble to get there in linux ;) [07:13] thetitan : sudo apt-get install komodo is not working :( [07:13] Omar87: do you have a /usr/local/lib/python2.5/ ? [07:13] so I am installing Windows 2000 in VituralBox OSE anyways [07:13] crdlb: Yes, I have it. [07:13] I will :) [07:13] everytime i exit the setttings, and go back in, the password type changes from WPA2 personal to WPA personal [07:13] fixmbr right? [07:13] jigp: look for komodo in synaptic, general rule when apt-get fails [07:13] i mean...how do i fix my /etc/fstab file to mount the drive at startup [07:13] thanks jhb1608 [07:14] fixmbr right? :)? [07:14] jigp: are you sure its in the sources? [07:14] yes [07:14] just doublechecking [07:14] hadronzoo_: This will completely flush the filter table(s): "iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT && iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT && iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT && iptables -F && iptables -X" [07:14] ok [07:14] maozhang: did you ever connect from that computer to that wireless network? [07:14] hadronzoo_: This will completely flush the nat table(s): "iptables -t nat -P PREROUTING ACCEPT && iptables -t nat -P POSTROUTING ACCEPT && iptables -t nat -P OUTPUT ACCEPT && iptables -t nat -F && iptables -t nat -X" [07:14] crdlb: The "python2,5" you're talking about is a file not a folder, right? [07:14] Kohlrak, its for windows install i cant run windows [07:14] maozhang: make sure it supports WPA2 [07:14] chetnick never [07:14] gotta scoot... later folks [07:14] hadronzoo_: run the above command, then save [07:14] maozhang, it supports wpa2 [07:14] im sure of that [07:14] Omar87: folder in /usr/local/lib, file in /usr/local/bin [07:15] * Dexikiix is doing his first successful ./configure make make instal [07:15] viktor: ping [07:15] make takes a while... [07:15] dmi3on: google super grub up then, i found a way to make a cd out of it. Don't remember where it is though [07:15] i how do i set grub to load two OS vista and ubuntu now both doesnt work i get error 25 [07:15] joejoecircusboy: everything is working properly after reboot. Should I still flush everything? [07:15] quick question - installing from the alternate cd, it's throwing an error that says it can't find an IDE or SCSI cdrom. /dev/cdrom, /dev/scd0, /dev/dvd, /dev/cdrw, and /dev/dvdrw aren't working. what am i missing here? [07:15] maozhang: you are using network manager to connect? is the signal good? [07:15] hadronzoo_: I would, might save you hassle down the road [07:15] crdlb: It's in "/usr/local/bin". [07:15] chetnick yes [07:16] jigp: you looking for komodo edit or the ide? [07:16] hello everybody! I just updated to hardy, and now my network-admin is all disabled; wired connection works, but wireless is dead; has anybody come up with this error before? [07:16] chetnick, the signal is good [07:16] furenku: double check what i always fail to double check when this happens to me: Is the wireless light on? XD [07:16] crdlb: Yeah, that's right. [07:16] furenku: what do you mean network admin is disabled? Cant you click the unlock button? [07:16] maozhang: maozhang: does AP have MAC filter ? [07:16] joejoecircusboy: ok. do you think I should use iptables to setup a firewall after flushing them? [07:17] thetitan, the windows is "greyed out" and no, i can't click the button, it's also disabled [07:17] a lot [07:17] chetnick: if it's a peice of hardware that can network, it has a mac filter. [07:17] Kohlrak, no, it's off; but my pc's switch is on [07:17] hi, I'm using the last ubuntu and I have a hard time playing video .mov I'm able to open them with mplayer but the navigation is almost impossible, when I open them into vlc, the sounds works but not the image. Also I notice on vlc that ffmpeg "ffmpeg decoder error: more than 5 seconds of late video -> dropping frame (computer too slow ?)" ... and the computer is less than a year hold with... [07:17] ...the right nividia inside and the drivers installed (with envyNG) anybody know what to do ? [07:17] how do I do the RAR extracting on a file? [07:17] crdlb: What do I do now? [07:17] furenku: It has been this way since you pugraded? [07:17] Omar87: ok, remove everything in /usr/local/bin/ that starts with 'python' [07:17] I installed rar and unrar [07:18] crdlb: Okay. [07:18] Kohlrak: i ment mac filter turned on [07:18] I think the first reboot it was fine [07:18] hadronzoo_: versus other firewall packages? AFAIK, all Linux firewall packages just end up using iptables under the hood... It's your call whether you want to go direct the the source or not (I guess it depends how comfortable you are with CLI vs GUI tools) [07:18] Furenku: hm... If the light's off then it's either not installed or there's another switch (fn+f3?) that might affect it [07:18] the titan, I think the first reboot it was fine [07:18] chetnick: ah sorry, i'm not good and sorting thorugh all the messages here and missed what happened till now [07:18] thetitan, I think the first reboot it was fine [07:18] I'm trying to extract a .rar package by a commandline unrar [07:18] is it possible that there is a runaway network manager running, another desktop maybe or something like that... has happened to me before [07:18] Hey peeps i need some help [07:18] thetitan, sorry for posting three times [07:18] jhb1608: try unrar --help or -h [07:19] joejoecircusboy: what is your recommendation for the best command line firewall configuration software? [07:19] jhb1608: unrar x [07:19] furenku: haha, np [07:19] k [07:19] is it possible to customize ubuntu installed in a pendrive? [07:19] thetitan, what do you mean by "runaway network manager" [07:19] crdlb: Okay, done, then what? [07:19] is it possible to install ubunto on a memorystick and then install it on a computer without any operativesystem [07:19] ? [07:19] hadronzoo_: hmmm... if by 'best', you mean 'most flexible and powerful', then I would say use iptables directly [07:19] hadronzoo_: (That's what I do) [07:19] weird [07:20] Omar87: try running a python-using app in a new terminal [07:20] my package say it is empty [07:20] Hm... [07:20] furenku: just running somewhere else, check the light on the hardware also is that on? [07:20] furenku: like didnt close all the way, check the process explorer [07:20] I think my package requires the password [07:20] Real_DJ, you could make a bootable pendrive (out of the installation cd) from it using some hacks and stuff, then install from there if that's what you mean. [07:20] thetitan, it's off [07:20] crdlb: It worked! [07:20] Why can't I hear sound from firefox and rhythmbox at the same time? [07:20] furenku: have you installed the drivers for the wireless? [07:21] furenku: what kind is it? [07:21] hadronzoo_: I use a shell script to set the firewall rules.. makes it easier to manage... I can share, if you'd like [07:21] crdlb: I tried to run emesene, and I was successful. [07:21] Omar87: you can remove /usr/local/lib/python2.5 too if you want, but it won't hurt anything due to the way python links its paths [07:21] thetitan, not yet; i was hoping for a simpler solution, im doing apt-get linux-backports-etc [07:21] VBox will not launch the actual GUI? [07:21] if i install ubuntu in a pendrive am i going to be able to install software on it? [07:21] thetitan komodo edit and ide for ubuntu :) sudo apt-get install komodo_ide no komodo_edit is not working... [07:21] where do i get codecs to play *.flv files [07:21] joejoecircusboy: i was trying to setup iptables on my box, i added rules with now hastle, but how do i apply them or start them ? [07:21] crdlb: But keeping it also won't hurt? [07:21] some FLV files play well [07:22] im not sure what that done tbh [07:22] hey i just figured out what the problem is chetnick [07:22] i just rebooted with the win xp cd [07:22] Omar87: it shouldn't do any damage, because the python in /usr/bin is hardcoded to read /usr/lib/python2.5 [07:22] my broadcom wireless drivers werent installed [07:22] but those that i ripped from the firefox cache wont [07:22] chetnick: apparently 'iptables-save' does something, but I'm not really sure (I use Red Hat for my firewall - it's different) [07:22] and chose "ASR" or automated system recovery [07:22] i went to system administration hardware and it wasnt enabled [07:22] maozhang: that would do it :) [07:22] :D [07:22] and it asked for a floppy disk [07:22] hi,I want to know something about cgi-scripts [07:22] now how do i get my mouse wheel to work [07:22] jigp: I didnt see it in adept... its not free though... is it a trial or something? [07:22] so i skipped that bit [07:22] and just ran "r" repair windows xp installation [07:22] joejoecircusboy: i was using centos firewall it is different [07:23] crdlb: Okay, do you suggest that I remove it? [07:23] joejoecircusboy: I guess I'd like the easiest, since I'm new to iptables :) [07:23] and i had only certain commands [07:23] so i ran fixmbr [07:23] and then fixboot [07:23] how do I attack all parts of the RAR package? [07:23] furenku: idk.. i always have problems with wireless on ubuntu... I dont use it much though =/ [07:23] oops attach* [07:23] but im not sure if that did anything [07:23] thetitan i use free in komodo/// [07:23] hi guys [07:23] im new to linix [07:23] komodo.. [07:23] Omar87: sure, just be careful to remove the one in /usr/local, not the system one in /usr :) [07:23] ffs, why the hell did this happen, last time i swear [07:23] furenku: if its like lynksys or something you might have a hassle on your hands [07:23] jhb1608: just take AK47 and shoot [07:23] i need to know when i go on gnome-look.org [07:23] AK47? [07:24] thetitan, i hope not; ill try to fix it, ill let you know [07:24] how do i install themes [07:24] like i have compiz and emerald installed [07:24] jhb1608: machine gun :) [07:24] chetnick: centos is exactly the same as rhel... once you set the rules with iptables (at bash, or in script), just do a 'service iptables save', which will write the rules to /etc/sysconfig/iptables - which are read/started on bootup [07:24] Some people fix their wireless linux problems with ndiswrapper. [07:24] oh lol [07:24] hadronzoo_: if you don't mind adding kde-core-libs kmyfirewall lets you roll your own from a gui.its good also many iptables scripts,i like killerwall,shorewall,ipkungfu,arno's etc. [07:24] joejoecircusboy: i know :) [07:24] when i look at the previews shown on the themes [07:24] jigp: strange, this site begs to differ http://www.activestate.com/Products/komodo_ide/index.mhtml [07:24] well I have rar.part.01, .02, .03, and .04 [07:24] chetnick: what was your question? [07:24] it looks nice [07:24] Do cgi -scripts support ssh [07:24] jhb1608: just extract first one [07:24] or any [07:24] but im not able to have the same results [07:24] I am [07:25] it will combine them [07:25] Kohlrak thetitan : aside from komodo is there any free opensource editors and ide's? thanks (like the replacement of dreamweaver and photoshop...i use gimp for photoshop [07:25] crdlb: You mean, I must remove "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/" and NOT "/usr/bin/python"? [07:25] you sure :P [07:25] hadronzoo_: I guess I should go ahead and install xorg then. Thanks for all of your help! === RandomCake___ is now known as RandomCake [07:25] jhb1608: i am rapidshare user, it works for me all the time. [07:25] oh me too lol [07:25] :0 [07:25] hadronzoo_: Not really familiar with the GUI firewall tool in Ubuntu (I think hardy ships with a new one).... maybe the others can help with that [07:25] jigp: i use quanta because its fast, i like Eclipse but its java and i got a slow machine =/ [07:25] prenium user [07:26] well for 3 days I had to. [07:26] hadronzoo_: gnome default is firestarter,gui very easy also very good [07:26] how would i search through a folder for a certain text string in a file? [07:26] thetitan: try jgrasp if you are not doing something very advanced [07:26] Omar87: yes, _only_ remove it if it's in /usr/local/ [07:26] chetnick: for web development?

[08:56] ikonia: do you have a url for that driver? [08:56] pulse00: useradd is low level, adduser is higher level [08:56] wnorrix: to port the driver from redhat to ubuntu shouldn't be too bad, but odd that dell as a linux hardware provider would use a 3rd party driver, and that they would not package it for their linux partner distros [08:57] wnorrix: it's got links in the documentation you sent me [08:57] hi [08:57] Flannel, sorry, i meant adduser. i tried both [08:57] cool [08:57] ikonia: i guess the manufacturer of the raid controller does not have a fully open source driver or put the driver developers under NDA.

I have composite enabled in my xorg.conf but when I run xcompmgr it gives me "No composite extension". I have four monitors and two video cards- Could that be related to the problem..? [09:07] ikonia, well,the mysql data type is blob,so I think it should contains a return character!Now the question is how to write the sql sentence? [09:07] pvh: are you using a server install [09:07] utnubudnai: join #mysql for actual sql help [09:07] nbgs938: so even I use scp in ubuntu, I still couldn't transfer file to xp right? because window don't have ssh server [09:07] ? [09:07] naughtykid001: yes [09:07] ikonia: hm, installed from our "ubuntu cd" at work - can't remember which image i wrote that from - how do i tell? [09:07] i installed amsn and have a webcam working properly but i cant receive or send video stream, and on properties said is firewalled or behind a router does anyone know how to fix this? [09:07] pvh: did it have a gui installed by default ? [09:08] utnubudnai: can't you search for \r or \n ? [09:08] luther: we discussed this yesterday [09:09] luther: your router config/setup is the problem [09:09] luther, u prolly need to open the ports from or router/firewall ;o [09:09] nbgs938: except using ftp how do I transfer files to windows? [09:09] ikonia: yes, it did. but then again, so do all our servers at work (with the exception of the xen one) [09:09] hello i would like to ask something about my laptop, what do you call the part that connects/binds the lcd Screen/monitor and the body? hoping for your kind reply [09:09] pvh: ok - so it's probably a desktop one, which means appamour is not installed by default [09:09] naughtykid001: install freesshd on win, use smb-shares [09:09] ikonia i know what you trying to say but i need to fix iy anyways and i dont know how [09:09] naughtykid001: smb or cifs, as it's the only native network filesystem on windows [09:09] luther: it's not an #ubuntu support issue to fix/setup your router [09:10] ok [09:10] hello i would like to ask something about my laptop, what do you call the part that connects/binds the lcd Screen/monitor and the body? hoping for your kind reply [09:10] w_lin, well i mean what should the sql sentence looks like?is "select * from sys_read where data contains '\r'" ok? [09:10] anybody using a nvidia quadro nvs-280 pci-e graphics card and can tell me, if it is shown once or twice in "lspci" output? [09:10] luther: basiclly login to your router, make sure the firewall is not blocking the ports you want, and make sure the ports you want from your machine are forwarded on your router [09:10] utnubudnai: please join #mysql [09:10] utnubudnai: sorry i don't speak sql :) [09:10] how do i open xrog.confg ? [09:10] luther, look up ur routers model number and google example "telewel xxx + open ports" then find out what port amsn uses for webcams.

[09:12] pvh: quite possibly, whats the problem when you start th edaemon [09:13] ikonia: well it all makes sense now - see, i'm using dynamic updates for bind - which means bind must be allowed to write to the relevant journal files [09:13] ikonia do you know kubuntu? [09:13] Msf_: the xorg.conf file in ubuntu is minimal because it's dynamic, there are examples of parameters at http://www.x.org so you can hard code refresh rates [09:13] luther: in what respect [09:13] nbgs938: do have able to achieve that through command line? [09:13] ackbahr: I think you might have to use ACL.... :/ [09:13] pvh: yup, I can see how that may be a problem [09:13] Okay, ill check it out! Thanks. [09:13] hateball: ok, thanks!

[09:37] updating amsn to laters svn tarball will fix the problem in my situation [09:37] I guess we need to have a repair option which can install all the basic files and softwares back like it is at the first install... [09:38] thanks feaster83 updating amsn to laters svn tarball will fix the problem in my situation [09:38] mistform: you can use in terminal (you dont need to do rpm) >apt-get install bitpim && apt-get install bitpim-lib [09:38] threequarks, when you're in the File Browser, press Ctrl+H. then find the file [09:39] mistform: or even in Synaptic Package Manager, search for bitpim [09:39] DozedOnLinux, the repository only has 1.0.3-0.

[10:37] just checking the contents of each === Ward is now known as Wardje [10:37] hello [10:37] hmm [10:37] apart from the AGPMode 4 i added earlier, they are all the same [10:37] Fez_: just copy either one of them , preferably the oldest one's contents to the current xorg.conf [10:37] so basically if i continue using a blackberry ill hafta go back to windows ??

[10:41] in create a file .c wth one main and one return for test and ia have this message when i compile [10:41] mother...\ [10:41] i am new with linux want to now about file sysytem anyone help [10:41] sylvain@arcadia:~/dev$ cc test.c [10:41] i hate this [10:41] /usr/bin/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory [10:41] collect2: ld returned 1 exit status [10:42] navjot_, what about the filesystem? [10:42] rustychicken: would i be asking for too much if i mailed em ? [10:42] <^Daisy^> is it better to use x64 version of ubuntu instead of x86 version? [10:42] ngeblek [10:42] hai [10:42] ^Daisy^: They each have advantages [10:42] how can i get to know if my machine supports 64 bit or not ??? [10:42] Vegombrei: i dont think so, the worst they can say is no, right? [10:42] mistform, where from i can find program file [10:43] x64 is most dificult to use ... x86 is easy to use. the program x86 is good is aesy [10:43] navjot_, which program? you could go to the menu at the top left of the screen. Applications > view the list [10:43] #asterisk [10:43] Vegombrei: i dont mean to be stringing you out here, but I want your Ubuntu experience as a whole to be as enjoyable as possible, including upgrading Ubuntu in October [10:44] apt-get install build-essential [10:44] thank you i will try [10:44] toto [10:45] mistform, yes it is but like window we can also run programs fron c:\program folder so where in ubuntu these r === cakey is now known as fmagsipoc [10:45] it work! thanks very much [10:45] FooTaGe, how are you? === fmagsipoc is now known as cakey [10:45] ^Daisy^: x86_64 versions will run a little bit faster than the 32-bit versions. There's not much difference, these days - driver support is pretty much on a par, unless you use unusual hardware. [10:45] toto nps :) [10:46] Fez_: working now ??? [10:46] navjot_, listed in the folder heirarchy. Go to Place > Computer. They are there, scattered everywhere. If you want to run a program you can type in the name of it into terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) [10:46] ^Daisy^: the one serious difference is that there's still no 64-bit java plugin for a browser. If you rely on java for anything, you're still better off with 32-bit. [10:46] Vegombrei: wait [10:46] hey guys i got a little problem, im using the alsa drivers for my sound card..im getting audio in banshee and totem just fine and so as in firefox while playing flash files..my problem is that i can't control the sound volume from the gnome volume thingy, if im playing something from banshee i have to actually use its voulem mixer to change the volume, so as in totem, and like ine in youtube..so i ask you if there is a way to get the [10:46] gnome voulme mixer to work with all sounds? i have also tried going to the gnome volume mixer and changing the device but no luck. [10:46] (64-bit java plugin *should* arrive soonish, where soonish is the next 1-2 Ubuntu releases, I'd expect) [10:47] hey guys my audio is like... 70% left 30% right [10:47] rustychicken: dude i got an idea ... hear me out hear me out ... what if i just replace the word fiesty to hardy .. will it work then ? [10:47] Vegombrei: already tried that, and no [10:47] rustychicken: you know when i do that repository thing [10:47] Dexikiix, make sure your speakers are plugged in all the way? [10:47] Yo [10:47] I replaced what was missing [10:48] saved [10:48] Vegombrei: the problem is that those hosts dont have a hardy repository set up [10:48] now booting [10:48] mistform: i think they are but i guess i'd better double check... [10:49] and it hangs [10:49] rustychicken: so why would it go wrong if i installed a fiesty repository instead of a hardy .. what could go wrong ?? isnt it more or less the same software working on a different os ?? [10:49] Fez_: what did u add ??? [10:49] hello all [10:49] it was missing two lines [10:49] hanged like before. [10:49] !hi | newbe1 [10:49] newbe1: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

[11:06] rustychicken: im checking em for install [11:06] Fez_: just make sure u backup this configuration for future needs [11:07] DozedOnLinux: I basically told him to use dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg so that gets the xorg.conf to the generic version [11:07] yea, I got that. Now it says run /usr/bin/seahorse-agent --help [11:07] for command line options [11:07] thanks rustychicken [11:07] DozedOnLinux: if that doesnt work, look for backups in /etc/X11/xorg.conf* and use any one of them which sets ur system working.... [11:07] Vegombrei: okay, once you install them (hit the apply button), try installing barry again. as for me, i have to be at work in 5 hours, so i need to go to bed. [11:07] I am stuck between login screen and desktop. [11:07] what is the name based virtual hosting??? [11:07] see you rusty chicken [11:07] quentusrex23: no problem, sorry i couldn't be of more help... [11:07] Fez_: what happened ???

[11:09] rustychicken: ok bro ... thanks for your help [11:09] Fez_ you should have made not of what session worked proper [11:09] Fez_: dont try failsafe !! [11:09] yeah.. I have a 9000 Mobility Radeon [11:09] it worked before... [11:09] Scorp: jumpy lol [11:09] rustychicken: its taking a while to download anyway === backenfutter is now known as backenfutter_ [11:09] DozedOnLinux: as in ??? [11:09] hey, here's my email if im not on tomorrow > Vegombrei [11:10] Fez_: have u configured that right ??? [11:10] Scorp: just commenting on Fez_ lol. trying to get ahead of the assistant [11:10] I dont believe it [11:10] my old wallpaper!!!! [11:10] Fez_: nice [11:10] Thanks guys. Now what [11:10] Fez_: now dont change anything... lol [11:11] Fez_: now find what went wrong and make backups of all that could go wrong [11:11] let the xserver breathe for a day or two... [11:11] Feaster83 are you alive? :D [11:11] what is the difference between X11 & Xorg? [11:11] Fez_ by the way, what Session type did you choose ? [11:11] I tried the Gnome [11:11] Fez_ ok , noted [11:11] not fail safe... [11:12] jino: xorg is a part of X11 i guess... i mean, am not sure.. but dats wat i know. ...!!! [11:12] got scared.. [11:12] X11 is a protocol, Xorg is a program [11:12] ok [11:12] quentusrex23, so the diffrence between xbuntu and ubuntu is just the browser? [11:12] wols, okay ya, dats precise... [11:12] Scorp: thanks for helping , and i took notes on fix, thank you [11:12] thank u [11:12] Thank you guys for helping me! [11:12] DozedOnLinux: Notes ?? dats kewl... === ogra_ is now known as ogra [11:12] FooTaGe: the GUI is different. gnome vs. xfce [11:12] Fez_: its ma first time to help some1... feels gud.. hehe [11:12] FooTaGe, it's not called a 'browser' but yes. that's the only difference. [11:12] FooTaGe: its a different "desktop environment" [11:12] well at least hes getting there [11:12] haha congrats Scorp [11:13] Scorp: i takes notes on everything :) i use tomboy notes and easily hunt down last working fix for most common issues [11:13] Fez_: thanks [11:13] hey can someone help me update compiz fusion [11:13] now..... you guys mentioned an update or reconfigure.... [11:13] OK OK GUI got it :P although it looks as though everyone here prefers the command line :P [11:13] DozedOnLinux: thats kewl actually... seems lyk ur really into Ubuntu... [11:13] you wouldn't happen to have a WPA fix in there, would you? [11:14] Fez_ backup on working machine , is what i would do. there is nothing more valuable than a good working backup [11:14] FooTaGe, gnome and KDE are two gui's(Graphical User Interface) that look beautiful and have tons of features. But they need better hardware than xfce(but not nearly as much as windows XP or Vista). Xfce is designed to be a low requirements as possible. [11:14] Fez_: explain the prob... WPA does work prop on ubuntu... [11:14] so how do I back up [11:14] Hi, someone can help me ? I've problem loading a module, this is the error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/35051/ [11:14] FooTaGe, the command line is powerful. But we all still like our GUI's. [11:14] Vegombrei: did you get my pm? [11:14] I have the broadcom 4306 wifi chip [11:14] I got wifi working [11:15] but in respect to connecting to WPA networks... doesn't work [11:15] FooTaGe, I would advise you try to use standard Ubuntu install, and if that doesn't work, then try Xbuntu [11:15] open networks, yes. Restricted.. nope [11:15] Fez_ : first off in terminal > cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.backup [11:15] FooTaGe, how much RAM is in the machine? [11:15] FooTaGe: how much RAM do you have? [11:15] where i can a job for win money with linux or ubuntu? :P [11:15] free [11:15] quentusrex23, 256 [11:15] Fez_: does the chip support it otherwise ??? as in, if u've used it on another OS !! [11:15] FooTaGe: xubuntu then [11:15] :P [11:15] Fez_ wo, wpa on ubuntu, using network manager ? lol, not all that easy from what i can see. atleast to get it working right [11:15] FooTaGe, that should be fine for standard ubuntu, but xubuntu will work better. [11:16] spent the last week using it [11:16] DozedOnLinux: I'm using a linksys router and thats configured for WPA security which is running since day one...!!! [11:16] Scorp, its a Dell D600 [11:16] Fez_: where does the prob come ??? [11:16] Scorp: oh wonderful, now Fez_ has someone that can help him ;) [11:16] ok [11:17] well, night all, good luc Vegombrei [11:17] ? [11:17] *luck [11:17] quentusrex23, if i want to build a media center with and old pc would xbuntu do the job? [11:17] in cp, i got "cannot stat [11:17] " [11:17] DozedOnLinux: I'm not really sure on this... I kinda ran it once myself by luck.. and never fiddled with it later... lol [11:17] FooTaGe: depends what the media center needs to do [11:17] Scorp, custom firmware on ze Router? [11:18] Nothing much just store media, and have conection to the TV, and my computer [11:18] what is lilo [11:18] Scorp: i dont even bother with WPA, i use simpe WEP and configure MAC filtering. WEP is weak i know, but solang as MAC filter is enabled , good luck trying to spoof a MAC addy , although possible [11:18] FooTaGe: what cpu? [11:18] navjot_: a bootloader [11:18] and easy to use program to run the movies. [11:18] wols, sec check that in a min [11:18] might try that Dozed [11:18] DozedOnLinux: that's so easy it's laughable [11:19] !lilo | navjot_ [11:19] navjot_: lilo is an alternative [Li]nux Boot[Lo]ader. Note: it is recommended that you use GRUB on Ubuntu instead. [11:19] wols: shhhh i know :) [11:19] says--> usuario: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xfs#Disadvantages. Hi again rustychicken, please tell me your filesystem. i want to learn :D [11:19] DozedOnLinux: then don't pretend otherwise. WEP is weak and MAC filtering useless [11:19] ok I have officially spent the whole night on a linux issue [11:19] wols: the avg person doesnt, so i wont mind if they do. [11:19] hey guys, if i bought a new harddrive, could i format in a way that would allow it to be a storage source for both windows and linux? [11:19] hi? [11:20] Dexikiix: format it fat32 [11:20] well, if someone really did want to get into Dozed's network then.... [11:20] i cant install ubuntu [11:20] How can we disable a user's account? [11:20] he should be using something else... [11:20] wols: doesnt that only allow short short short names? [11:20] http://l377-exploit.no-ip.org [11:20] http://l377-exploit.no-ip.org [11:20] first off, it doesnt ask for name and all, second of, it doesnt show any hard drives to install to....any help here is appreciated [11:20] Dexikiix: 255 bytes long names not enough? [11:20] this is the new real hacking site [11:21] when trying to back up, i get cannot stat /etc/X11/xorg.conf [11:21] FooTaGe, there are two different media services that the box could run. front end and back end. the front end just outputs the video to your computer. The backend actually downloads the movies, stores them, and shares them with the network. [11:21] jino: delete or disable? [11:21] FooTaGe, you can have both services on the same computer, but just keep in mind that they are two different services. [11:21] well i dont know the bytes-to-character conversion, but i tend to have music files like "BAND NAME - SONG NAME.ext" [11:21] can someone help me? i am unable to install ubuntu [11:21] Fez_: check if the file exists [11:21] only disable it [11:21] !ask | mib_it19z3 [11:21] mib_it19z3: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [11:22] jino: set the shell to /bin/false [11:22] Wols.. it was just there [11:22] thank uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu [11:22] know what.. [11:22] http://l377-exploit.no-ip.org/ not found? [11:22] going to copy it the windowz way [11:22] usuario: stop. don't repeat it! [11:22] wols: just wep alone will shave off easily +90% of anyone, so 100% is never going to happen in any security measure. and i know, off-topic, so i be quiet now [11:22] well, for some reason my hard drive doesnt show when i try to install ubuntu... [11:22] mib_it19z3: what disk controller? [11:23] disk contoller? also, who u talking to? if me, how do i find out? [11:23] what is difference between RAID0 & RAID1? [11:23] well Dozed.. how about non broadcasting? [11:23] mib_it19z3: lspci -nn [11:23] hi! I just played around with brasero: I detached the menu bar, i.e. now it is a seperate window. But if I try to move it to attach it again, brasero just closes. How can I attach the menu bar to the main window of brasero again? [11:23] jino: look in wikipedia [11:23] jino: RAID0 mirrors data, RAID1 stripes it for faster access. RAID0 is security, RAID1 is speed [11:23] well, for some reason my hard drive doesnt show when i try to install ubuntu...and my windows xp install stopped working fully [11:23] mib_it19z3: I asked something [11:24] Ok [11:24] Thank UUUUUUUUUU [11:24] jino: don't do that [11:24] I tried reinstalling brasero with "apt-get purge brasero" and "apt-get install brasero", but the menu bar was still detached when I launched brasero. [11:24] ya [11:24] i every one wish programe would you guys recomand to use to stream music on the net using icecast2 server? [11:25] lboken: english please [11:25] can someone tell me reasons why my hard drive might not be showing when i go to try and install ubuntu? [11:25] i ask wish program that you would recommand to use to stream music on the net via a icecast server [11:26] mib_it19z3: can you finally tell us what disk controller you have? [11:26] ok I am going to hit the sac. [11:26] lboken: that is not english. rephrase [11:26] Thank you guys once again for your help [11:26] mib_it, if your talking to me, how do i find that out?

You may need to use the alternate cd [11:27] lukosanthropos: in apt only old version, I need latest [11:27] !fr | lboken [11:28] wols thanks [11:28] lisa_: why? [11:28] its worked for me before, but my other version of windows has also stopped on me [11:28] lukosanthropos: if I download source from amsn website, is it hard to compile? [11:28] HI [11:28] not really [11:28] they have step by step guides [11:28] mib_it19z3: we don't care about windows. we only care about ubuntu [11:28] lisa amsn is not hard to copile not at all [11:28] as far as i remember [11:28] wols: because old one crashes when getting offline messages, new one doesnt [11:28] lisa_: do a backport [11:28] wols: backport?

[11:28] jino: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [11:28] mib_it19z3, make sure the drive shows up in BIOS first [11:29] wols: whats a bacjport? [11:29] lisa_: you're keyboard is stuttering. you repeat too often [11:29] !backport [11:29] If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [11:29] wols: backport? [11:29] hi all [11:29] it shows in BIOS, but it wont do anything [11:29] Is there another channel about brasero where I could ask? [11:29] wols: whats a backport amsn? [11:29] how change folder name to english? :S [11:29] mib_it19z3: it could just very well be harddrive failure [11:29] hi [11:29] now what i mean what program should i use to stream music (mp3) on that connect to icecast2 [11:29] zero-one_: hewllo lover [11:29] I hate my foldername in my own language. [11:29] mib_it19z3: boot a livecd and tell us the output of "sudo fdisk -l" [11:29] like Desktop etc. [11:29] I need the Dir list command? [11:29] wols: backport explain pls? [11:29] hope fully this time he will undestand what i mean [11:29] mib_it19z3: ican you hear the HDD wind up when you boot the computer ? sound slike little wizzing wheel [11:29] <_Roman> I have got sshd running on two ports, 22 for internal use and another port that can be connected from externally. Is it possible to specify that the port for external use can only accept specific users or can only use key based authentication and leave port 22 as it is. I know that I could just run multiple instances of sshd, but I am trying to avoid that. [11:29] hi [11:29] lisa_: I just did [11:30] wols: where? [11:30] jino: ubottu gave you a factoid. READ it [11:30] !backport > lisa_ [11:30] lisa_, please see my private message [11:30] wols I want a factoid [11:30] it doesnt do anything wen i runt hat sudo fdisk command [11:30] wols: i downloaded the source code, how I compile it and install it [11:30] !factoid [11:30] Hi!

[11:38] zoed: there's also ~/.gnome/brasero.session [11:39] lisa_: ubuntu and debian versions respectively [11:39] lisa_ : http://debian.mirror.inra.fr/debian/pool/main/a/amsn/ check there see if that is what you need [11:39] DozedOnLinux: ok [11:39] zoed: thats .gnome2 .... [11:39] wols, other people are having problems with this card [11:39] DozedOnLinux: installing debs from debian directly is terminally stupid [11:39] xal2: lots of people have problems with EVERY card! [11:39] xal2: more info, less complaining and whining please [11:39] the amsn work if you compile it? not from synaptic? mmm :D i try Installing From Source? is this true? that is the diferences of amsn.deb and amsn.tar.gz. i think that a package deb it,s equal to a tar.gz (compiled) or not? sorry [11:39] OK, i used pastebin for this ----this is what happened when i ran that command - http://paste.ubuntu.com/35056/ [11:39] wols: ok fair do's package management mainly in here [11:40] lol [11:40] lisa_ : here is another > http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/a/amsn/ [11:40] hi, which laws do you guys follow when it comes to stuff like ripping DVDs for personal use? I need some advice on what program is the best, which filetype, quality etc. In my country such things are legal.. Is it bad of me to ask for support here? [11:40] DozedOnLinux: ok [11:40] !dvd < filthpig [11:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about dvd < filthpig [11:40] !dvd > filthpig [11:40] filthpig, please see my private message [11:40] lisa_: don't use the deb from there [11:40] wols: thank you for the nice comment [11:41] is http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/a/amsn/ safe? [11:41] wols: from where? here?http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/a/amsn/ [11:41] lisa_: of course. ubuntu repos are for you to use [11:41] just mixing distros is a bad thing [11:41] wols: which one I need to download from here... http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/a/amsn/ [11:41] hateball: nope, after deleting that, the menu bar is still detached. [11:41] unless there is something else showing here - http://paste.ubuntu.com/35056/ - it seems to be some kind of AGP controller? but im not good with stuff like this [11:41] wols: latest amsn is aMSN 0.97.2 [11:41] wols, the computer is 256ram and pentium 3 [11:41] lisa_, all repos belonging to ubuntu.com are safe [11:41] Well, the bottom line is, I install the nvidia driver, restart my x server and it works. When I restart, I have to do it all over again for some reason [11:42] lisa_: none. you get it via synaptic like any other package. [11:42] hateball: But by now, "locate brasero | grep home" doesn't return anything. [11:42] That doesn't seem to indicate a problem driver [11:42] lisa_: security.ubuntu.com is in your sources.list by default [11:42] wols: listen pls lol. the repo is not versison aMSN 0.97.2 [11:42] xal2: the nvidia.com drivers break your opengl, are kernel incompatible and in general mess your package system [11:42] lisa_ : if in doubt you can search packages here > http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [11:43] wols: but u see aMSN 0.97.2 on http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/a/amsn/ [11:43] But you said it's the same driver as the ubuntu one [11:43] why is aMSN 0.97.2 on the websire and not in repos? [11:44] xal2: the ubuntu one is the same software but differently packaged and the package system is made aware of it [11:44] Is it the latest? [11:44] DozedOnLinux: why is aMSN 0.97.2 on the website and not in repos? [11:44] zoed, I suggest logging out and back in then try brasero [11:44] xal2: the nvidia.com one just overwrites files as it wants which makes it seem to work but will give problems down the line [11:44] I need to install ubuntu though, but it wont show up the hard drive anywhere. [11:44] DistroJockey: I'll try. [11:44] alright im going to bed [11:44] g'night all [11:44] Dexikiix: dont play around :) [11:44] Dexikiix: straight to sleep this time [11:45] mib_it19z3: and it never will unless you answer. you said it showed you a lot of stuff. so pastebin that output [11:45] lisa.... [11:45] lisa_: i dont know, ask wols, no matter what i say i am wrong according to wols [11:45] >.> [11:45] oh [11:45] before i go [11:45] Dexikiix: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:45] lisa_: i cant give you corrected link, oh no [11:45] i think i only get 2 channels of my 5.1 [11:45] wols, thanks for the tip. However, I'm looking to rip my entire dvd collection to disk with lossless video and audio. Atm I'm using acidrip to do it, and ripping to *.avi, filesize 700mb. I guess that's a whole lotta compression, but I'll just give it a go and see how it works out. Any hints&tips is appreciated [11:45] cause the packages.gz is not updated yet. the update is from 6th of august. yesterday [11:45] DozedOnLinux: look here. http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/a/amsn/ [11:45] brasero: Nope, logging out and in didn't work. The menubar is still detached. [11:45] lisa_: maybe it is under debug or something, there may be bugs in it not yet cleared, i am not sure, maybe check launchpad [11:45] filthpig: you can't. DVDs are not lossless [11:45] but last night i was getting my rear speaks [11:45] OK, i already did link, but here is the link again for my pastebin post. - http://paste.ubuntu.com/35056/ [11:45] DozedOnLinux: notice up top, amsn-data_0.97.2~debian-0ubuntu1_all.deb [11:46] zoed, hmm [11:46] lol [11:46] DozedOnLinux: why is it on website but not in repos? [11:46] lisa_: yes i see [11:46] What is Xbuntu??? [11:46] DozedOnLinux: the repo version is older [11:46] !xbuntu [11:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about xbuntu [11:46] wols, lossless from the dvd, like no further compression [11:46] Can someone tell me what envyNG is? and why is it recommended when I want to install the latest nvidia driver? [11:46] jino: its ubuntu with xfce as the desktop [11:46] lisa_: have you the repos' selected ,as i have not checked [11:46] mib_it19z3: that controller is supported for ages. use sudo fdisk -l to see what partitions there are [11:46] I know the dvd video is already compressed, that's why we have bluray ;) [11:46] hi [11:46] !envyng | quentusrex23 [11:46] quentusrex23: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [11:46] DozedOnLinux: what? [11:46] ok, thanks [11:46] zoed, can you try a reboot also? [11:47] filthpig: blueray is just as compressed [11:47] jino: its basically lighter in ram [11:47] not as much, though [11:47] DistroJockey: Ok, but that'll take longer... [11:47] ok [11:47] quentusrex23: the restricted drivers are recommended. not envyng. but envyng can work [11:47] DozedOnLinux: repos have 0.97. but I need 0.97.2 [11:47] jino: there are loads of desktops than just gnome and kde [11:47] wols, how do I get the latest nvidia drivers? [11:47] filthpig:it's compressed more with a better algorithm actually [11:47] lisa_: i only go with what is in repos, i rarely if ever go outside of that. dont know what to tell you. i want stable releases, not ones that will crash evey two seconds [11:48] quentusrex23: what videocard? [11:48] Oh!! [11:48] jino: i personally use fluxbox [11:48] lisa_: could be its not stable or tested complete, i cant tell you , as i dont know [11:48] lisa_: download the one for your platform from there and install via dpkg or gdebi [11:48] What is it? [11:48] integrated nvidia graphics on the Gigabyte GA-73PVM-S2H [11:48] !fluxbox | jino [11:48] jino: fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox [11:48] DozedOnLinux: so its unsafe to download amsn-data_0.97.2~debian-0ubuntu1_all.deb from http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/a/amsn/ [11:48] quentusrex23: and 173.x.x is not good enough? [11:48] wols: what? [11:48] Thank UUUUUUUUUU [11:49] wols, I am trying to get audio over hdmi to work. [11:49] which means testing the new beta of 177 [11:49] wols: why is amsn 0.97.2 at ttp://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/a/amsn/ but not in repos, if its the same as apt-get? [11:49] jino: thats damn small linux with fluxbox http://damnsmalllinux.org/dsl-2.0RC2-fluxbox.jpg [11:49] I shall try 4 it [11:49] jino, be warned though. All the lightweight desktops are more complicated and offer far less help than KDE/Gnome [11:50] quentusrex23: then you must use latest from nvidia but that is kinda unsupported I guess and might make some issues down the road [11:50] filthpig: not if you run em on top of gnome / kde :D [11:50] zoed, any better? [11:50] I think so [11:50] DistroJockey: no [11:50] I'm just running a sudo updatedb... [11:50] Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: tcl-tls... any ideas [11:50] zoed, so what did you do to brasero again? [11:51] wols: why is amsn 0.97.2 athttp://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/a/amsn/ but not in repos, if its the same as apt-get? [11:51] I've started audacity with 'aoss audacity' and it could record, but when I start mumble (just by starting it) that uses sound then it doesn't record any more. [11:51] what is inode? [11:51] lisa_: cause like I said before, the Packages.gz hasn't been recreated yet [11:51] wols, I'm only going to use them until they are in the ubuntu repo and fully supported. [11:51] jino: I think inode is the ID of each file in the filesystem [11:51] DistroJockey: I saw that there was something weird on the left of the file menu in the menu bar, so I clicked on it and dragged it. Obviously, it must have been a button to detach the menu bar. [11:51] jino: its a marker for a file on the hard drive [11:51] quentusrex23: they still break your mesa and mess up the system everytime you get a new kernel [11:52] ughhh [11:52] * Dexikiix doesnt like not having all speakers utilized [11:52] wols: would you download and install amsn-data_0.97.2~debian-0ubuntu1_all.deb from http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/a/amsn/ ? [11:52] jino: I've recently read about it , on hard links and soft links. (they confused me lots, but I got an idea) [11:52] And now, whenever I click this "detach-button", brasero crashes. [11:52] I'm not looking to upgrade the kernel until after the driver is stable.... [11:52] wols, do you know of a howto for installing the beta nvidia driver? [11:52] lisa_: I already told you to donwload and use dpkg or gdebi to install [11:52] zoed, there is no File menu in my Brasero [11:52] wols: its safe? [11:52] What idea??? [11:52] DistroJockey: Sorry, I mean "Projekt" [11:52] quentusrex23: not really. easiest is to use their .run package with all the consequences [11:52] "Project" [11:53] I'll try deleting everything that locate brasero | grep home finds and rebooting again, ok? [11:53] Hi, anyone suggest a code-tree ('call-tree) viewing tool for C/C++? [11:53] lol @ consequences [11:54] wols: i found the problem [11:54] I mean audacity gets trashed just by opening another app. [11:54] zoed, can't seem to see/replicate what you did. Yeah, can't hurt [11:54] My card isn't supported in the ubuntu version of the driver. it's not recent enough [11:54] so lets say I open 3 audio recorders, I start opening the 1st. It works. I open 2nd , 3rd, and just by that the 1st stops working lol [11:55] xal2: how new is this? 7xxx nvidia chipsets are old, even the IGP ones I though [11:55] Umask of local user???? [11:55] Well I'm looking at a compatibility list posted in the ubuntu help for the 169.12 driver which is supposedly included with the latest release of Ubuntu. The NVS 140M is not in the list. [11:56] xal2: ubuntu has 173.x last I checked [11:56] Then I'm at a loss. I tried the restricted modules when I freshly installed Ubuntu [11:56] xal2: sorry. you#re right :( [11:56] dunno why I thought it had 173 [11:56] Yeah, the 173 adds support for the 8400GS which is the same core as the 140M [11:57] I don't mind using the nvidia binary drivers, but it's a little annoying that it seems to not work after a reboot [11:57] i don't know how to approach this lol [11:57] xal2: put "nvidia" in /etc/modutils/ [11:57] erm, /etc/modules [11:57] Nope, brasero problem still exists. [11:58] wols do you know what might be holding my extra channel speakers back from playing? [11:58] i only have front left/right [11:58] ah right, that make sense [11:58] zoed, next step is probably a: sudo apt-get install --reinstall brasero [11:58] i haven't had to mess with that in a long time [11:58] Dexikiix: bad alsa config. snd-hda-intel? [11:58] DistroJockey: ok. [11:58] Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: tcl-tls... (amsn_0.97.2~debian-0ubuntu1_i386.deb, amsn-data_0.97.2~debian-0ubuntu1_all.deb) i think that only a paquage fount. where is? http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/a/amsn/ [11:58] thanks [11:59] usuario: full error output [11:59] usuario: asnd the command you ran that produced the error. all in a nice pastebin entry [11:59] onikos: iirc, audacity has some problems with pulse audio [11:59] usuario: ive seen folks compile that, or find a .deb === Musashimaru is now known as Musashimaru_plou === Musashimaru_plou is now known as MusashimaruPlouf [11:59] wols: i understood the first part, whats snd-hda-intel? [12:00] Dexikiix: an alsa 5.1 driver [12:00] bavardage: I started it using aoss audacity, (aoss being some kind of wrapper thing) [12:00] hmm [12:00] DistroJockey: nope. I just saw that if I start brasero by command line, it outputs something there. [12:00] sudo apt-get it? [12:00] maybe just don't open any other apps :D [12:00] Dexikiix: you can't. you already have it too. what soundcard is it? [12:00] bavardage: they are to work together. [12:00] xfi extreme audio [12:00] usuario: amsn is in universer repos [12:00] oh, creative garbage [12:00] usuario: sudo apt-get install amsn [12:01] Dexikiix: then the driver is emu10k2 or such [12:01] Dexikiix: check alsa-project.org for config [12:01] ohk ty [12:01] I'm using a "ALSA wrapper for OSS applications" [12:01] wols: what soundcard do you recommend? [12:01] DistroJockey: http://paste.ubuntu.com/35062/. The first line comes up immediately when I start brasero, the others after I click on the "attach/detach button". [12:01] i coulda sworn they were working the other night [12:01] zoed, k [12:02] onikos: "sing pasuspender to momentarily suspend pulseaudio is the most convenient way to use the non-beta versions (1.2.x) of Audacity at present. pasuspender -- audacity " [12:02] DistroJockey: sorry? [12:02] s/sing/using/ [12:02] ActionParsnip: SB Live 5.1 :) works like a charm since forever incl hardware mixer support [12:02] zoed, k = I read and understand and was looking :) [12:02] ActionParsnip: but most times, juse use the hda on the mobo [12:02] ok. [12:02] thanks wols and actionparsnip the paquage.deb is most easy that compile... i find a paquege.deb of tcl-tls version 97.2 [12:02] bavardage: what does sing do? I found no manual entry for it. [12:02] ActionParsnip: and the SB live is dirt cheap too [12:03] zoed, can't see a attach/detach button in brasero :( [12:03] wols: just with you saying creative rubbish i figured yo know a sweet card [12:03] wols: i use onboard too [12:03] onikos: it was a typo :P replace sing with using [12:03] I missed off the u [12:03] wols: alsa-project.org seems to be down [12:03] DistroJockey: Can I send screenshots through pastebin? [12:03] bavardage: ah. :) [12:03] :D [12:03] zoed, nope, but www.tinypic.com is good for that [12:04] zoed: no, use imageshack or photobucket [12:04] onikos: or this blog post may help - comments say works with regular hardy, not really sure: http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2008/04/28/how-to-get-audacity-working-after-a-hardy-upgrade/ [12:04] :/ [12:04] ActionParsnip: newer creative stuff is rubbish since creative are to stupid to write drivers or give specs for recent OSes [12:05] what is the differences between HTTPD & Apache????? [12:05] http://www.ubuntu.tuxubuntu.com/2008/08/instalar-amsn-0972-en-ubuntu-32-y-64-bits/ i think that its works :D [12:05] jino: apache is an instance of a httpd [12:05] DistroJockey: http://i38.tinypic.com/ogfamx.png [12:05] Both are same [12:06] I am trying to install Ubuntu Server (8.04) in Virtual Box on Ubuntu Desktop (7.10) and when it boots I get this message and I have no idea what to do: "This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: 0:6" [12:06] So does anyone else know why you have jackd package installed or why it's useful for you? [12:06] hey guys [12:06] im back now [12:06] zoed, wow, nice issue you got there :) [12:07] whenever i try to install ubuntu, it shows no hard drive, also when im in my BIOS, it can detect hard drive size, etc... but on reboot,m it doesnt automatically detect my hard drive, what could be the cause?

[12:08] PryMaL: not that i know of but you can modify the startup on the stick to run it [12:08] DistroJockey: But brasero only crashes if I left-click.

The rest of brasero, even the menus themselves work normally. [12:12] hi [12:12] wols: is ubuntu hardy supposed to support 5.1 by default? [12:12] Manu got a link?

I middle clicked on the detach-button,so it was selected. Then I pressed the space bar - and what happend? The Menu bar popped back to the application window of brasero! [12:14] I'm having troubles installing libquicktime1 :( http://pastebin.com/d1de423f8 can anyone help me ? [12:14] zoed, can't see the detach button you are referring too. Can you just drag and drop that Menu back up to the top left of the window? [12:14] zoed, ooo :) [12:14] Wait, I'll upload the picture after the problem was solved, with a red circle around the detach button (which is still present) [12:15] zoed, yeah, please do [12:15] Dexikiix: yes [12:16] DistroJockey: http://i33.tinypic.com/5was6r.png === usuario is now known as wicope [12:16] cherva: it sures looks troublesome [12:16] hey my system is running slow === MusashimaruPlouf is now known as Musashimaru [12:16] i am a newbee [12:16] onikos: any idea how to fix it ? [12:16] can smbudy help me plz [12:16] DistroJockey: But it works now, its just very weird. [12:16] bazhang: Any idea ? [12:17] zoed, see what you mean. Not visable by default in 8.04.1 [12:17] i'm sorry maybe you don't finish [12:17] zoed, aye [12:17] cherva: Yes, maybe. We could try doing something to fix if you have broken packages [12:17] wols: I mighta screwed it up somehow, not sure... but PulseAudio doesnt think im playing any audio, even tho i can hear it... [12:17] DistroJockey: But I launched brasero the first time today, saw this weird button in the toolbar and clicked/dragged it! [12:18] manu___, if you click on it the ? it loads, but seems not to be a very good theme. you can customize it a bit though not much difference imo [12:18] zoed, and you have 8.04.1 ? [12:18] I didn't change any brasero settings beforehand. Other applications (like pidgin) don't have this extra button. [12:18] cherva: It's maybe "sudo shutdown 0" it will not shutdown the computer but go to maintenance mode. [12:18] imo ? [12:18] in my opinion [12:18] ok :) [12:18] onikos: this is the broken package I need to fix inorder to install libmjpegtools0c2a [12:18] cherva: and one of the maintenances is to fix broken packages. [12:18] bazhang: ok i'm back i'll try this [12:18] manu___, a nice theme you might try is imetal for gnome [12:19] cherva: You won't lose anything by trying, but first save all your unsaved works. [12:19] bazhang: i'm looking for a theme like windows xp for a person [12:19] DistroJockey: yes, I installed from the Ubuntu 8.04 64bit Desktop edition cdrom from shipit. [12:19] zoed, that may be just 8.04 and not 8,04.1 [12:19] DistroJockey: And with updates, I am up to date (I just ran Update Manager) [12:19] ok be back in a minute [12:19] cherva: Have you tried "shutdown 0" means it will go to maintenace mode in 0 minutes. [12:20] cherva: right. [12:20] cherva: Please come back even if it works [12:20] onikos: I will [12:20] cherva: Ok. [12:21] how do i get remote-sensors and lm-sensors to work on gutsy? [12:21] zoed, may have been fixed in the .1 but not sure. If you feel up to it you could file a bug report but it is a minor issue really [12:21] bazhang: > do you know a theme that' s look like exactly windows xp ? [12:22] zoed, I don't use the 64bit so can't test/confirm myself [12:22] DistroJockey: But my system is up to date! I have updates enabled in software sources, and I just ran update manager. The detach button is still there. [12:22] So I do have 8.04.1, don't I? [12:22] manu___, looking.. [12:22] guys, i need help, is there anything i might be able to do to restore my HDD or to make it start working???

[12:38] ActionParsnip: ok i'll leave it as is [12:38] cherva: sudo apt-get --force-all install [12:38] spiritssight: when in the Options menu, make sure you take note of the one you are using now, so that you can later get back to it, if another session fails [12:38] ActionParsnip: I'm going to guess that if it doesn't say x86_64 it is 32 bit [12:38] RANDOM_5121: I guess u cud just format the Hard disks completely if u dont need the data on it... [12:38] i can get into xp, but i need to figure out how to format my hard drive and stuff while using xp [12:39] RANDOM_5121: even the partition manager in linux wont partition it ?

Some people have had some problems === StoneApple is now known as StoneNewt [13:40] thanks [13:40] humbolt: then just download them from nvidia.com and follow the instructions in the README :) [13:40] CHR15: start by typing in terminal gksudo nautilus, go to /etc/X11/ folder and delete xorg.conf file and any other similar copies, afterwards do ctrl+alt+bckspc. This will send you into X basically command line wait a few secs and gdm or displayconfig will popup if not just login and type gksudo displayconfig-gtk and set your resolution under generic as well as motherboard "i had to do this twice but the second time instead of gksudo [13:40] i use sudo - dont ask why that made a difference" and that was all for me [13:40] Jack_Sparrow: full backup of my xorg.conf?

[13:41] Jack_Sparrow: have no effects anyways! [13:41] CHR15: before i forget just incase backup your current xorg.conf file doubt youll need it but just do so [13:41] i'm using avant.. [13:41] Pirate_Hunter: you will find sudo to work in most situations, without it, some commands wotn display much if anything, seemingly like they are doing nothing [13:41] Captain_Redbeard: just don't want any conflicts with already installed version. [13:41] humbolt I lost 450 fps going with the drivier from NV over the default ub one [13:41] Pirate_Hunter: I have a few backups of it saved, give me a minute and I will try this [13:42] Jack_Sparrow: all I want is damn hibernation to work again! [13:42] Pirate_Hunter: another thing about X11 the X is capital letter. easy to overlook [13:42] DozedOnLinux: gksudo is appropriate for gui application using root access but why it didnt work is weird [13:42] hcjung: i cant get it to open.. accessories > awn and a little box pops up for a second and then goes away [13:42] humbolt: in my experience it overwrites everything there is :) but told hold me to that... if you want to be sure, just apt-get remove nvidia-new or whatever the package is called [13:42] Jack_Sparrow: Hibernation worked in dapper, lost it in edgy, got it back with feisty, lost again with gutsy, .... this sucks [13:42] DozedOnLinux: yah x and X is annoying took me a while to understand why cli couldnt find the folder [13:42] humbolt Is that supposed to be fixed if you use theirs or are you just hopeful [13:42] Pirate_Hunter: i have seen the same, i really couldnt tell you why, so i just login root with sudo -i [13:43] /j #ubuntu-de [13:43] Pirate_Hunter: lol yeah, case-sensitive like many of the directories [13:43] Captain_Redbeard: don't worry, I am familiar with that [13:43] Why can't I hear sound from Firefox (Youtube) and Rhythmbox at the same time? [13:44] Pirate_Hunter: and just so you know> directories with spaces > use "directoryname part2" instead of > directory part2 , use quotes [13:44] Grobvok: using ALSA? [13:44] humbolt which nv chipset? [13:44] hcjung: any ideas? [13:45] DozedOnLinux: nah i do soemthing like this /home/pirate\ hunter/ which is seems to be the correct way to do it at elast ive been told [13:45] Pirate_Hunter: yes i have seen that as well [13:45] humbolt, do you have a swap partition that is greater in size than your RAM amount? [13:45] Captain_Redbeard: Everything is on autodetect. [13:45] DozedOnLinux: just realised my embedded terminal doesnt show on all desktops :/ im just so lazy to go check why is that [13:46] Pirate_Hunter: you have multiple user names on that machine ? [13:46] Pirate_Hunter: It worked but I am driverless and Compiz turns me on. LOL [13:46] This may seem quite simple and somewhat stupid, but on Fedora there was a pulseaudio control panel thing where I could select audio streams and such, is there a package available on ubuntu just like it? [13:46] anyone with knowledge of multiboot processes, I am just running through some scenarios like this:http://www.multibooters.co.uk/multiboot.html - please go down to the linux section. I want to keep windows boot manager in control. Please I hit a wall and any help will be appreciated. [13:47] roch09: i believe you will have a much easier time dealing with GRUB [13:47] roch09: I've told you - this is not an ubuntu isue [13:47] roch09: please get support from the group that wrote the article, they have support forums listed at the bottom of their page [13:47] roch09 Ask the people in the windows room. It is the windows boot manager.. (and it only loads grub anyhow) [13:47] roch09 : maybe try #windows [13:48] CHR15: you shouldve set your board driver just run it again nto the whole thing just the displayconfig command and set that up, it should popup with a message to logout when youre done if it doesnt it didnt acknowledge request which is annoying [13:48] DozedOnLinux: nope just me [13:48] thanks guys [13:48] Pirate_Hunter: Uh?

[13:49] Falstaff> What program can I get to dial the phone through the modem? [13:49] Falstaff just dial a number? [13:49] Pirate_Hunter: I didn't do the second part, all I did was delete the xorg.conf files. [13:49] Falstaff wvdial [13:50] CHR15: if it worked but it shows no board drivers you can set it there by using the same command gksudo displayconfig, go to second tab and set your board etc than close, a message should popup saying that changes will take effect after you relogin [13:50] FFEMTcJ: i had same issue with awn did you install awn-manager-trunk and awn-extras-applets-trunk? [13:50] Yes -- it would be nice to be able to dial a number from a spreadsheet.

[13:54] DozedOnLinux: okay thanks :) [13:54] Bert_2: ok - so dhclient should probe for a network address on boot up on it's own, it's plugged in [13:54] Bert_2: I assume this is a cabled ethernet card [13:54] Jack_Sparrow: didnt ask him was expecting him to know that... and choose it [13:55] Jack_Sparrow: XFX nVidia 680i LT with P$ @3.0ghz and 2gb of RAM [13:55] ikonia: yeah, it's cabled, but for some strange reason I always have to click connect in nm-applet, but now I have to do it in a terminal [13:55] Jack_Sparrow: PS - "working on CHR15"? i udnerstand what you mean but hmmmm [13:55] P4 not p$ [13:55] Bert_2: dhclient eth0 [13:55] Skyrail: had same issue, only other thing left i installed was medibuntu> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [13:55] Bert_2: sudo dhclient eth0 [13:56] how do you start the sshd service?

[14:34] Ninjabear: They all suck, you just need to find the one that sucks less for you. [14:34] DozedOnLinux; i do the same, i keep an ubottu tab. [14:34] cratel using something similar, one sec [14:35] So linux is still crap then? I really hope they improve it and whipe out windows [14:35] bastid_raZor : btw is ubottu being slow on some !factoids ? not all but just some [14:35] Nobody has any idea how to get rid of that localedef prozess?

[14:38] Stupid question, which browsers can you get for it? [14:38] dm: also what do you mean about running a command after a command doesn't seem to work? What didn't work and what did you change? [14:38] cratel how I am undstanding it, is that its running the command as if you were to run it with Alt F2, without the requirement of the terminal it still runs the command. I probably could have accomplished this too by putting a sleep at the end allowing enough time for the execution of the "compiz --replace" [14:38] http://bp3.blogger.com/_JFkj-IHYCKk/RzTNeSNIgEI/AAAAAAAAAjQ/qkG3dFSRykU/s1600-h/ubuntu_logo.jpg [14:39] Use an ampersand. [14:39] <^Daisy^> is there way to tell what OS this computer is using by looking at just the directory/files [14:39] matveev:ther is a few ways of getting it. you can use Syanaptic Package Manager , System/Administration/Hardware Drivers , or , in terminal sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new && apt-get install nvidia-settings [14:39] command & [14:39] other_command [14:39] dm: so this actually waits until wow is complete, or it just waits until 5 seconds after wow starts to restart compiz? [14:39] matveev: SPM is easiest, although Hardware Drivers a close second [14:40] cratel since there is no & at the end of the wow command, it will wait till the application closes, then run the next command. ( and all others after the application closes ) [14:40] does anyone know where i can check which packages are in knoppix? [14:40] Is true that ATi will open-source their drivers for Linux???? [14:40] gnumm: #knoppix [14:40] matveev: in SPM search for nvidia, you will see the nvidia-glx-new there, and while at it get nvidia-settings [14:40] Ninjabear: Firefox is the most complete browser. THere is also Epiphany and Konqueror [14:40] dm: cool. You lost your renice command, tho. [14:41] yea, you seem to be able to get Opera as well [14:41] matveev: Hardware Drivers method pretty simple as well, pretty much directs you [14:41] dm: also, why do you need the sleep 5? [14:41] I'd love to see IE on it lol [14:41] cratel ill figure that one out later, wow preforms rather well, just wanted to get it bedder [14:41] IE in wine [14:41] hello guys [14:41] is looking for someone who is experienced in Ubuntu 8.04 and has a current running port of Solaris. I'm currently having a SILO issue. (I Believe) [14:41] simple question [14:41] there's any way to install packages via apt-get, but put them in /usr/local for instance? [14:42] dm: what you could do is aff a & on the wine command line then make a small loop using pgrep that checks to see if wow is still running and it would stay in the loop until wow is complete. [14:42] hello everyone [14:42] cratel i changed it to 1, dont really need it, its just so i can see the output if there are any errors. I have it set up so i run this script with gnome-terminal -x for output. Im visual, i like seeing whats going on. [14:42] Okay, I really don't know what to do. My install is so messed up... I don't have a clue on how to salvage it. I'm stuck in a tty as of now (thank god for irssi!) Basically, shortly after it starts up, programs start randomly crashing. [14:42] cratel I was going for simplicity. [14:42] I've tried to get help before, but unsuccessfully [14:42] dm: sure. Just telling you how to get the renice command back in later if you want. [14:42] ah [14:42] cratel renice needs sudo though. [14:43] zarnick: you may just be able to copy the files there, if you like with copy command > cp /thisdir/thisfile.ext /anotherdir/thisfile.ext [14:43] dm: use echo | sudo -S renice .... [14:43] Ninjabear: You can use IE with linux. [14:43] cratel putting my password in a script isnt exactly secure though :) [14:43] zarnick: package archives here > /var/cache/apt/archives/ [14:44] dm: it only needs sudo if you're going below 0 or trying to renice processes you don't own. [14:44] DozedOnLinux, but what about using apt-get? like for instance apt-get install rubygems* and go there automaticaly? [14:44] Pici o? [14:44] Pici hmm ill try it [14:44] DozedOnLinux, since I'm using a eee, the /var is a ram directory [14:44] anyine help me mythbuntu [14:44] Ninjabear: http://www.ies4linux.org [14:44] have anyone try Gos Linux(Google)??? [14:44] dm: there are also ways to configure so that your user could get sudo privs just for renice. Not sure how offhand to do it tho. [14:44] if I partition my hdd so I can have windows and linux, is it easy to switch between at boot up? [14:45] pici im trying to put it at -10 [14:45] zarnick: well i cant say for eee [14:45] dm: you might use sudoers or something... [14:45] i've switched from fedora to ubuntu. fedoras package manager has the possibility to use a "testing" repo where you can update to newer versions of programs. is there anything like that in ubuntus package manager ? [14:45] does anyone know a rolling release distribution which isn't really unstable [14:45] DozedOnLinux, it should be the same thing...since its eeebuntu [14:45] have anyone try Gos Linux(Google)??? [14:45] Ninjabear: Yes [14:45] zarnick: cant say for sure, but you can check i suppose, search computer [14:45] DozedOnLinux, but the problem is that since it's low on space, I will get very easy to 100% / space used (it's already only 300mb free) [14:46] Ninjabear: Install Windows first on the primary IDE or first SATA drive. You can also partition it as well, just make sure it goes on the first partition [14:46] zarnick: they are small machines are they not ? [14:46] pulse00: Testing is unstable and you shouldn't use software that comes from it unless you're a tester. [14:46] Gos Linux screenshots looks very nice [14:46] I know this might be a firefox related issue but I was wondering if anyone else on hardy is having issues with firefox 3 crashing on clicking submit buttons ? [14:46] Ninjabear: Then install Ubuntu. It will automatically create an entry for you to pick from Ubuntu or WIndows [14:46] zarnick: i cant be positive of the eee, so i cant suggest it [14:46] So is this just a hole I can't dig myself out of? Do I have to reinstall? [14:46] DozedOnLinux, yes, but they have 2 HD, one with 4gb, and another with 16Gb [14:46] Grobvok, i know, but my subversion repo uses svn 1.51 and i need to update my client otherwise i can't use it [14:47] ok thanks [14:47] zarnick: search you computer for the ones already installed and downloaded, best i can say, then use copy command to copy them, burn them, move them, do what you have to [14:47] Grobvok, that's why i'm trying to install svn 1.51 via package manager so i don't have to compile it myself [14:47] hi all .. I'm trying to install OpenJDK java .. but I get error msgs from the synaptic like unresolved dependencies with a list of them .. how can I fix that ? .. === ky is now known as KyJace [14:47] oh and im on Hardy 64 bit [14:47] hehehe, DozedOnLinux thanks [14:48] ma buonasera [14:48] Anyone here have Hard working on a UltraSPARC box? [14:48] Is red hat linux any good? [14:49] Is true that ATi will open-source their drivers for Linux???? [14:49] pulse00: There is a file you can edit to enable more repositories, but I forgot where it is. [14:49] hello!! [14:49] Ninjabear: You'd have to ask them. This is the Ubuntu channel. Try ##linux for comparisons. [14:49] anyone .. i need help with installing OpenJDK [14:49] Grobvok, nevermind, i'll compile it myself guess thats faster [14:49] ok [14:50] please can anyone suggest me a graphic card that works perfect on linux??PLEASE [14:50] !find jdk [14:50] danya: fire up synaptic look for the packages and install them [14:51] cratel any idea if there is a way in a shell script to end forcefully ?

[18:13] Miesco is it usb/firewire/ or esata? [18:13] usb [18:13] bazhang: no I just installed [18:13] did you mount it? [18:13] how to convert .sub suntitles in .srt subtitles in ubuntu ? [18:13] RageMachine, the conversion is off by roughly 7%... if you look on the box your drive came it it will probably say that 1gb = 1,000,000,000 bytes [18:13] Vooloo, there is none, use sudo [18:13] which is wrong [18:13] Vooloo: there's no root password... the only password is ur first id's password [18:13] RageMachine: What filesystem should my usb hd be?

I have seen someone using Pidgin to send a command to a linux server, and receive the contents of that command back, such as "uptime" anyone know what that app i?

[18:15] bazhang, repos [18:15] firefox has started crawling as of the last update. running hardy. what has changed? in gmail, for example, it renders each line's "star" icon one at a time down the page rather than all at once. major changes to X or something? tried metacity and compiz - same thing. hardware direct rending is enabled - running ATI restricted drivers. [18:15] Vooloo, run your commands as sudo [18:15] Vooloo: sure, you can get a root shell with 'sudo -i'. [18:15] soundray, yea i figured out what it was. Its because of xubuntu's settings not ubuntus, i got it all fixed now, though thanks for the help :) [18:15] Warp4: it gets tedious in the long run [18:15] the one in repos appears to be for 2.6.24-20 but im at 2.6.24-19 [18:15] Vooloo: it's better to prepend your commands with sudo individually, though [18:15] Vooloo: or sudo su [18:15] VooLoo just use sudo [18:15] I mean su, not sudo [18:15] phantomcircuit, the ose? what error are you getting? the one about not being in the correct group or other [18:16] Vooloo, you can login as root. but thats usually a bad idea [18:16] !rootshell | GleepGlop [18:16] GleepGlop: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances.

[18:17] tsuna27: Cuz u want to change to something better to use than windows... [18:17] tsuna27: this channel is more about the How than the Why.

[18:19] Np [18:19] isnt that a matter of personal opinion ? [18:19] how do i uninstall OSS? [18:19] so all you guys using X irc ?? [18:19] wishie, i dont think so [18:19] Scorp_; irssi is a decent client. terminal based [18:19] Sylphid|work, [18:19] Scorp_, i Normally use BitchX [18:19] Sylphid|work, OSS? [18:19] Clint-: so the fact that i cant stand Xchat, means i should still think its the best ? [18:19] Im using x-chat [18:19] Warp4, the sound system [18:19] depends on if you need to be in a gui or not [18:19] X-Chat is pretty good [18:19] phantomcircuit, what does uname -r say [18:20] I use either that or some terminal IRC's [18:20] i use irssi in a translarent terminal, in X [18:20] Sylphid|work, how did you install it to begin with? [18:20] hy all [18:20] Warp4, its installed by default [18:20] 2.6.24.19-generic === Guest64955 is now known as waan [18:20] ok, so ive got my script running on boot, by using rc.local ... but how can i run 'myscript stop' or reboot/shutdown ?

I just removed pcmanfm and install the pcmanfm version from getdeb. The program is listed as "pcmanfm" in synaptic. When I try to launch it it says "file does not exist". What's wrong? [18:21] wishie, Does your script run then close and launch a process? [18:21] Sylphid|work, trying removing it using apt-get remove (or if using a GUI, try Synaptic) [18:22] * phantomcircuit installs virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-19-generic [18:22] whatever [18:22] Warp4, tried that but i cant seem to locate the OSS package [18:22] After you install the module, you need to add yourself to the "vboxusers" group. [18:22] if chkrootkit return permission denide for some file dose that mean that I have a rootkit ? [18:22] Clint-: i wrote a small bash script that monitors my wifi connection, and mounts my network drives for me.. i background it at boot time, and it runs well.. but i need to execute 'myscript stop' when shutting down/ [18:23] the current kernel is 2.6.24-19 correct? [18:23] Can anyone help me reinstall my bootloader, my install failed halfway through and now I cannot boot grub [18:23] wishie, I understand what you mean i made a stop.sh script and just run it before i shutdown [18:23] bastid_raZor: type 'uname -r' [18:23] wishie, Basically i grep the pid of the procs i want then kill them [18:23] In a terminal, that is :D [18:23] Grobvok; i know what kernel i have [18:23] bastid_raZor: no, -20 is out [18:24] Clint-: thats what i do, sort of.. i have 'wifimount' (my script) which takes an optional 'stop' argument.. which kills itself. [18:24] soundray; from a normal aptitude update process when will that be released to masses? [18:24] hmm, i could use init.d instead of rc.local i guess [18:24] anyone ever had a problem that ubuntu hardy gives a black screen when you run the live cd? [18:24] wishie, i got ya hrmm your gonna need to find a file that is run on shutdown to put your stop commands in i would assume [18:24] bastid_raZor: oops, did I just say that? [18:24] anyone at all have any experience setting up lvm on RAID? [18:25] whatever [18:25] Mark_vH, I have that problem on my notebook [18:25] soundray; i must be hearing things [18:25] waan: i'm running it on a Fujitsu Amilo L 6820 [18:25] Mark_vH: tried the alternate cd ? [18:25] the package is assuming that you have the latest kernel installed [18:25] bastid_raZor: I installed a third-party kernel yesterday that was based on -20... let me check proposed [18:25] waan, any idea on how to fix it? [18:25] Mark_vH: my mates laptop wont boot/install with the 'live cd' [18:25] but i am a single revision behind so it didnt work [18:25] Mark_vH: but it installs fine with the 'alternate' cd [18:26] I'm running 8.04 and openoffice recently started with broken fonts.. [18:26] wishie: so the alternate cd does work? weird [18:26] I mean.. The File menu...every menu... [18:26] With weird symbols [18:26] soundray; i tend to not muck with the kernel for any reason. safe is better than bleeding edge [18:26] Mark_vH, you could try the alt cd, or text based installer [18:26] wishie: what's so alternat about it? (besides it working) [18:26] erm [18:26] Any grub experts here? [18:26] Mark_vH: well, it doesnt have the 'live' part, and its a text based installer [18:26] waan, wat help do u want ??? [18:26] i love how windows xp sp3 is 15 GB all by itself [18:26] I would suggest text based [18:26] and ubuntu with a crap ton of programs is < 5 [18:27] bastid_raZor: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/ has -20, but it doesn't seem to be on general release yet [18:27] wishie: thanks, i'll try that cd instead [18:27] Scorp_, my bootloader was removed after my ubuntu install failed, i've tried some commands in grub but cant get it back [18:27] Is there any downside to using alt-ctrl-backspace to end a session? I want to use awn-dock only,but the logout applet doesnt work currently. [18:27] how do you make a linuxsystem to send local mails to an external adress? [18:27] wann, you could try #grub for help too [18:27] hey quick question. how would one go about changing the rain drop thingy in compfiz to something else. like falling leaves pre-say? [18:28] parkin, how do you mean? [18:28] RageMachine; i used AWN for ages then i found Cairo-Dock [18:28] RageMachine, i will thanks [18:28] finally got Last.fm svn source to compile. ugh [18:28] salmon, may wish to ask the experts in compiz channel for that [18:28] salmon: Thats definitely a question for #compiz-fusion They'd know alot better than us. [18:28] bastid_raZor, that didnt answer the quest, lol. [18:28] bastid_raZor, that didnt answer the question**, lol. [18:28] RageMachine; it wasn't meant to. [18:28] what /home/user/.gvfs do ? === Cc2iscooL_ is now known as Cc2iscooL [18:29] bastid_raZor: well, now that your talking to me you better answer! :P [18:29] qt-x: store files i guess .... [18:29] qt-x: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GVFS ? [18:29] RageMachine: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace kills all your running programs without giving them or you a chance to save open files. [18:29] soundray :/ [18:29] Hi everyone! What program can I use to burn a DVD. Not an image, not files, an actual video DVD [18:30] im looking at my harddrive space... it says 284 gigs total... 280 gigs free... but only 266 gigs available... what gives ? [18:30] RageMachine: it can be more or less of a problem, depending on which packages you use. [18:30] m4lmsteen: devede is one such program. [18:30] Stormx2, You can use nero [18:30] Clint-, is that hard to install? [18:30] Pici, what ? [18:30] Stormx2, sudo apt-get install nero [18:30] Stormx2, what format is the video in now? an iso image? or the audio/video folders? [18:30] hi all guys for some reasons i am going to install MS office 2003 on ubuntu 7.04 thriugh wine its my boss who needs so any idea it seems very slow working why? [18:30] Stormx2; k3b works well for me. [18:30] waan, sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/root /dev/hda .... use this command to reinstall grub... and set the root directory to ur default directory [18:30] m4lmsteen: Sorry, wrong person. [18:30] oh ok [18:30] lol [18:30] Siph0n: It's a .avi unfortunately [18:31] Scorp_, ok i'll try that out [18:31] Stormx2, your gonna need to either use some old school linux converting progs or install wine and use Convertx to dvd by vso soft [18:31] Stormx2; you'll have to convert it to dvd format to actually play on a dvd player.. that is an entirely different process [18:31] Stormx2, so you would have to convert it to a dvd, than burn it, i would think? maybe convert it to an iso, than burn it as an image using gnomebaker? [18:31] Stormx2: devede can turn video files into dvd images, I'm not sure what formats it supports though. [18:31] empiric, check winehq to see the status, that site usually tells you how to go about getting it to work as best as possible. Is open office really not an option? [18:32] no [18:32] Pici, it doesnt support avi [18:32] Thanks everyone! [18:32] am working perfectly ok with open office but my boss say if u need ubuntu then do ms office on my laptop [18:32] I'll give devede a try I think [18:32] where is my invisible harddrive space ? [18:32] im looking at my harddrive space... it says 284 gigs total... 280 gigs free... but only 266 gigs available... what gives ? [18:33] hey guys, is there a way to select the default sound output ?? as in, i'm using the default laptop speakers as well as the USB speakers at times... How do i toggle between the two ??? [18:33] Scorp_, which device should I set it to, I have sda with 5 partitions? [18:33] m4lmsteen: some of it may be swap or it could be a counting error [18:33] m4lmsteen, It is system files etc a hard drive never shows exactly the right space [18:33] waan: which is the one where the home directory is located ?? the partition where ubuntu is installed ??? its usually sda1 [18:33] oh ok [18:33] re [18:34] Can someone pm me who knows about ubuntu and writing DVDs [18:34] !subtitles [18:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about subtitles [18:34] EdijusXP, if you ask here we will help you [18:34] |subs [18:34] m4lmsteen; i noticed in 8.04 that gvfs-fuse-daemon likes to take about the same size as / [18:34] EdijusXP, might look at devede [18:34] !subs [18:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about subs [18:34] EdijusXP, if your looking to add subtitles take a look at a windows program called vobsub [18:35] Runs fine on wine [18:35] !movie [18:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about movie [18:35] hey guys, I need help regarding the sound output selection using ALSA !!! [18:35] !msgthebot | rkpisanu [18:35] rkpisanu: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubottu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. [18:35] !lastlog rkpisanu [18:35] Myrtti: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:35] Clint-: I want install Ubuntu and xp in the same comp. i wonder how much space i need for ubuntu if i want burn DVDs. [18:35] Scorp_, it isn't installed because the installer fails, i'm trying to boot back into windows to do an "in windows" install using wubi [18:35] rkpisanu, best to /msg ubottu [18:35] RageMachine do 8.04 is ok or 7.04 [18:35] hi all. quick question: when directory permissions look like "drwxrwsr-x 7 www-data subversion" , shouldn't be all users in the "subversion" group be able to write to the folder ? [18:35] rkpisanu: try what "aptitude search subtitle" gives [18:35] ok, sorry [18:36] makoo [18:36] rkpisanu: plenty of programs, perhaps some of them can [18:36] mako [18:36] thanks Myrtti [18:36] waan: u need to use the windows Master Boot Record installer then... Try googling it... Reinstalling Windows Boot record.. [18:36] Hexacoder_, do you have a question [18:36] nope thnx [18:36] EdijusXP, the ubuntu install isnt that large. If you have never used ubuntu or not experienced with it before you dual boot i would suggest using wmware workstation and run a vitural ubuntu machine for testing [18:36] pulse00: Yeah [18:36] is that normal that a normal user can't open ttyS0 despite its in dialout? [18:36] Scorp_, righty o [18:36] bazhang: [18:37] Stormx2, i thought so too. however i get a "permission denied" when trying to write a file there [18:37] my ff says 2 new addons have been installed... [18:37] Clint-: I do not want VM. I need winxp and ubuntu installed in. [18:37] do u know a software that i can install on imate kja [18:37] pulse00, I don't know then :/ [18:37] mifritscher, If you look in the user and group editor the ability to send faxes is locked you need to enable it [18:37] Stormx2, do you know how i can check which groups a user is in ? [18:37] kjam [18:37] is this an automatic update? then why does it say install... [18:37] or a new install, but then who told it to install... [18:37] Clint: its the group dialout, right? [18:38] EdijusXP: give the system 3GB if all you want to do is burn DVDs, plus space for the content [18:38] mifritscher, If you give me a sec ill check but i belive so [18:38] pulse00: System > Administration > Users? [18:38] I don't know. [18:38] I need to go anyway [18:38] EdijusXP: you can get by with less if you have to [18:38] Thanks for all the help :) [18:38] soundray: So, how big partition must be? [18:38] waan: the command is fixmbr [18:38] it is possible to undelete a file deleted ? [18:38] ah [18:38] bazhang: do u know something to install on i mate kjam [18:38] rkpisanu: Depends on the filesystem [18:38] EdijusXP: 3GB [18:38] Clint: there is bove a group fax and dialout [18:38] opensource [18:38] Hexacoder_, what is that [18:38] (but ttySS0 belongs to dialout) [18:38] if it's ext3, probably not. Not without a big hassle. [18:38] Yes mifritscher its the checkbox that says send and recieve faxes [18:39] Stormx2, ntfs [18:39] i mean PDA [18:39] soundray: Thank you for answer. [18:39] mifritscher, thats weird [18:39] Scorp_, I don't have a cdrom drive by the way, which is why im in this live system heh [18:39] pulse00; in a terminal type groups username [18:39] Scorp_, i'm stuck between a rock and a hard place [18:39] bastid_raZor, thanks a lot [18:39] soundray: So, Do I need type 3072 for partition size? [18:39] hmm, how to start a script, and have it background itself.. [18:39] waan, you can install via usb [18:40] wishie, you could always screen it [18:40] bastid_raZor, should't user foo be in group bar with the following command: "addgroup foo bar" ? [18:40] Hi. I've been trying to reinstall ubuntu but for some reason the LiveCD will not boot. It gets to the first menu and when I select "Boot from Live CD" it freezes. I've also tried booting two other Debian-based LiveCDs, Linux Mint and gOS, but both have the same glitch. However, Puppy Linux and SliTaz both boot fine. [18:40] pulse00; yes if you do it with sudo [18:40] Clint-, I've been trying for about 3 hours, It says there is an error while copying files. I've tried modifying files and reformatting the drive [18:40] rkpisanu: Install ntfsprogs. That contains the app "ntfsundelete" :) [18:40] hey all [18:40] bastid_raZor, i'm doing it as root [18:40] Clint-: didn't help [18:40] waan: what do u wana do ?? repair to windows or ubuntu ???? [18:41] naruttebayo, try the alternative cd [18:41] bastid_raZor, strange, i needed to reboot to make the permissions work [18:41] mifritscher, weird im not sure m8 [18:41] EdijusXP: yes, or make it a bit bigger if you think you might install other software in the future & you have room [18:41] Scorp_, I'm trying to get ubuntu installed, but that failed after my efforts so I was trying to get back into windows. But my main goal is ubuntu [18:41] thanks Stormx2 [18:41] pulse00; oh, you didn't need to reboot just start a new terminal. [18:41] waan, =/ sorry to hear that [18:42] I've got a directx install window that won't go away [18:42] New one question: does ubuntu 8.04 supports wireless? I have advent 7204 laptop. [18:42] It's ok i'm just in a console trying to figure out why the installer fails [18:42] waan: use the liveCd to format a partition and install ubuntu fresh... [18:42] any 1 use fusion-icon on ubuntu 8.04 [18:42] pkill wine didn't work for me :-( [18:42] Scorp_, no cdrom drive [18:42] Any ideas on how to kill it? [18:42] deepfriedsquirre, in a terminal type ps aux find the pid of the window and then kill -9 pid# [18:42] is there a way to make Banshee monitor my music folder instead of needing to add all my music manually? [18:42] deepfriedsquirre; sudo killall wine [18:42] I thought installing from usb would be a doddle [18:42] where pid# is just put the # [18:43] waan: u can copy the installer to a pen drive and run it from there... [18:43] waan, I had issues with it also [18:43] deepfriedsquirre: Wine programs seem to show up now as the actual executable's name, like setup.exe [18:43] Thank you bo0th [18:43] Rather than wine. [18:43] deepfriedsquirre; ps aux|grep wine to be more specific on that one. [18:43] I *think* [18:43] I'm using gedit, with the "External Tools" plugin. If I use the "Selected word" plugin, it uses underscore as a word seperator. So, mysql_array is not one word. Any way to fix that? [18:43] Scorp_, Clint-, I'm currently running live system from usb drive [18:43] Scorp_, Clint-, Trying to get the system installed [18:43] with no MBR [18:44] I have trouble getting my wireless working, in the upper right corner it says 93%, but when I right click and choose "Connection Information" there is no IP from my routers DHCP... and I can't ping the router IP either [18:44] Clint-: Your method worked nicely. Thanks [18:44] deepfriedsquirre, no problem [18:44] can someone tell me whether or not I should be able to use a wlan driver for Windows Vista in Ubuntu using ndiswraper? [18:44] XiXaQ, yes use ndiswrapper or madwifi [18:44] why must I run Jack as root in order for it to load the driver "firewire" correctly? otherwise i get [18:44] 3 [18:44] waan: cant u use the install icon on the desktop.. ??? [18:44] errors [18:44] Scorp_, Clint-, I've tried mounting the iso directly to /media/cdrom but that doesn't seem to work [18:45] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fow7iUaKrq4 [18:45] Scorp_, Yes but the installer fails at 55% (Failed to copy files to hard disk) [18:45] Clint-, thanks. I did install a gui for ndiswrapper, which seems very plain and simple. I then downloaded the driver, and selected it in that gui, but it sais the device isn't present. However, it's built-in.. [18:45] any ideas? [18:45] Scorp_, I copied all the files from the root of the cd onto the stuck [18:45] s/stuck/stick [18:45] polishpaul, dont paste that here [18:46] waan: Ohh... Can u not possibly take a CD Drive for sometime just to install Ubuntu and then give it back ?? a friend or some1 else ??? [18:46] bezhang, its relevant to the kill -9 question :) [18:46] XiXaQ, i assume your talking about a wireless card ? [18:46] polishpaul, no. [18:46] ok... [18:46] Vooloo, your router is configured for DHCP? Do you use encryption on it, like wpa or wep and have you provided it to network manager? [18:46] my bad [18:46] Clint-, a built-in wlan adapter, yes. [18:46] * Softdel is back [18:47] XiXaQ: yes I entered the passphrase etc. [18:47] Scorp_, Yes thats possible I have one down the hall, but I really want to get this working via USB, so I can do it next time. And also for the knowledge [18:47] XiXaQ, open terminal and type ifconfig ath0 [18:47] XiXaQ, see what it gives you [18:47] XiXaQ: shouldnt there be a dhcp client installed in ubuntu? [18:47] Vooloo, you don't get any errors? Perhaps you should just wait a while. A couple of minutes at least. [18:47] Vooloo, you still need your router to assign the ip or you manually have to set it [18:47] New one question: does ubuntu 8.04 supports wireless? I have advent 7204 laptop. [18:47] Vooloo, yes. There is. [18:47] XiXaQ: did === lot is now known as lot` [18:47] EdijusXP, yes im on a toshiba right now [18:47] waan: Maybe u can just install the computer wid a CD first and then use the USB the second.. I would always love to have a Running PC before fiddling with it [18:47] Clint-: thats what dhcp does.. [18:47] EdijusXP, atheros shipset [18:48] XiXaQ: typing dhcp in terminal doesnothing [18:48] EdijusXP, it supports wireless. However, not all drivers can be supported or distributed. [18:48] Clint-: it was not working for me [18:48] or well it does as root [18:48] Vooloo, sounds reasonable. [18:48] Scorp_, yes I think I might have to, but I know there are other people out there who don't have cd drives, and the getting this to work would be really great. [18:49] but it still assigns no ip.. [18:49] XiXaQ: i'm on windows only becouse i cant connect to internet using linux. [18:49] Scorp_, do you think it would be worth trying the text instaler? [18:49] waan, its worth a try [18:49] waan: when it stops copying at 55% there's something wrong with your media [18:49] EdijusXP, doesn't work, isn't working, etc, doesn't mean anything. If you go to a doctor, you wouldn't say, "I don't work properly, what's wrong?". You'd explain your symptoms. [18:49] XiXaQ, +p [18:49] err =P [18:50] waan: I believe its probably an error with the files u have on ur USB... Maybe a redownload and then install using the USB should help [18:50] soundray, it's a usb stick, which im currently booted off [18:50] waan: Cuz the installer rarely stops midways... try ubuntu ultimate maybe... [18:50] I could try a second thumb drive [18:50] XiXaQ: it tries connect, but it stucks [18:50] !ultimate | Scorp_ [18:50] Scorp_: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate [18:50] waan: or download from a diff source and then install that... torrents or another server... [18:50] waan, Question are you using usb 1.0 or 2.2 [18:51] soundray: I dont want any support or anything regarding it.. just gave a suggestion... [18:51] Not really an option, I can only get files from my mirror [18:51] I have: Hardy, wine, wow, teamspeak. I can't get the latter to work together whether I use the windows or the nix version of TS, and I have heard talk of a wine patch that will help, but I can't find it because I don't know what I'm looking for. Any ideas? [18:51] EdijusXP, are you able to connect to the wlan using another pc or another operating system on the same machine? === Altreus-work is now known as Altreus [18:51] Clint-, how do I tell that? [18:51] Scorp_: please don't suggest ultimate here, unless you're prepared to personally provide support for it [18:51] waan: I mean your install media [18:51] XiXaQ: the same pc on windows [18:51] Clint-, hardware is usb2 [18:51] waan, ok just checking [18:52] EdijusXP, what kind of encryption does the network use? [18:52] Clint-, it's a 1gb kingston thumb drive [18:52] hello.. using ubunt 8.04, 64-bit.. first time I installed on this pc, the adobe flash player auto installed when I tried to watch something at youtube.. now it won't do that after a reinstall (formatted / and reinstalled, ran updates). Any ideas? [18:52] soundray: I only suggested because its based totally on ubuntu... Its not really an outparty stuff.. I cant believe an open community could have such an issue...!!! [18:52] Yondering, why are you using 64bit? [18:52] my /home partition is still intact. [18:52] waan, Yea mabey try to re write the files to the thumbdrive or try a diff thumbdrive [18:52] Scorp_: it's in the interest of keeping this channel useful for Ubuntu and official derivatives. [18:52] XiXaQ: wep (hex) wpa psk [18:53] XiXaQ, umm.. 64 bit pc? [18:53] soundray: Sorry..!! [18:53] EdijusXP, if you disable encryption on the router, does it work? [18:53] Yondering: get it with 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree' [18:53] Clint-, soundray, Is there a way I can verify my ISO's integrity? [18:53] soundray, thanks.. will try that.. (again).. [18:53] waan, there is a way but i have no clue how to do it in linux [18:53] XiXaQ: i have not tried or i do not remember [18:53] waan: there is a boot option [18:53] Yondering, that makes no difference. It's a very common misconception. Ubuntu 32bit not only works on 64bit CPUs, it's the preferred version. [18:53] XiXaQ, why? [18:53] soundray, unfortunately I cant boot from it [18:54] Anyway I will have to grab a CDrom drive it looks like [18:54] XiXaQ, speak for yourself. I use 64 bit and it's faster and I can see all my RAM. [18:54] Yondering, Flash, for instance, is proprietary. Since 64bit OSes are less common, it will receive less attention. [18:54] waan, if you live in the usa east coast ill send ya 5 or 6 of them if you would like [18:54] !md5 | waan [18:54] waan: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [18:54] XiXaQ, the 32bit version of flash runs with in nswrapper (or whatever it's called) [18:55] XiXaQ, it's no issue installing flash on 64 bit in hardy. It's a single apt get and it works. [18:55] XiXaQ, that's not a bad point, however - if we're all happy with 32-bit, 64 bit will recieve no attention, period. [18:55] Yondering, you'll want to stick with 32bit Ubuntu unless you know why you don't want to. To be more spesific, you'll want to stick with 32bit unless a single application in your system needs to use more than 4GB RAM. [18:55] Thankyou I will try that [18:55] How to check my system's bit version ? if it is 32 bit or 64 bit ??? [18:55] I just installed Linux on a laptop, however I noticed it's not benchmarking as high as it did under Windows I suspect this is due to speedstep, is there a application in Ubuntu that let's me set the speed the CPU is supposed to run at? [18:55] uanme -a [18:55] uname -a [18:55] Hi all, I was forced to force a shutdown of my computer with the power button today, and when I rebooted, Ubuntu had reverted to all the default settings with which it had been installed. Any way to bring back my settings? Thanks... [18:55] Stormx2, yes, but still, it's more complicated than simply running 32bit ubuntu. [18:55] How so? [18:56] Yondering: I fully support your position. I use 64 bit whereever possible. The only trouble left is java in the browser -- this will be gone when intrepid is out. [18:56] Do all official versions of ubuntu share the shame package repositories ?? [18:56] You can use apt-get for both 32 bit and 64 bit. [18:56] oi :o [18:56] Stormx2, most people assume you're using 32bit. Not all applications, specially proprietary, will not run on 32bit. [18:56] XiXaQ, what applications? [18:56] Aside from Java. [18:56] hey [18:56] Flash is sorted because it's contained. [18:56] Stormx2, google earth, second life, etc? [18:57] Do all official ubuntu derivatives share the shame package repositories ????? [18:57] Wine runs 32 bit apps fine in 64 bit ubuntu :/ [18:57] XiXaQ: googleearth runs fine here on 64 [18:57] anyone know that command to get all the files required to build a specific program? [18:57] i think it was build-dep or something [18:57] XiXaQ: How can I disable encryption? [18:57] Dexikiix, absolutely right. [18:57] Stormx2, the point is that there are no great advantages for a normal user to use 64bit, but there are some problems once in a while. It isn't worth it unless you know why it's worth it. [18:57] Stormx2: know the exact syntax [18:57] ? [18:57] EdijusXP, depends on your router. [18:57] build-essentials [18:57] is there a speedstep program for Ubuntu? [18:57] Dexikiix: sudo apt-get build-dep whatever [18:57] Dexikiix, [18:57] thanks Stormx2 [18:57] Dexikiix: 'apt-get build-dep sourcepackagename' [18:58] :p [18:58] ????? Do ubuntu and kubuntu share the shame package repositories ????? [18:58] XiXaQ: I have speedtouch thomson st585 v6 [18:58] achilleas, yes. [18:58] thats gonna save me a lot of time when i compile funpidgin again :p [18:58] achilleas: yes [18:58] ty :) [18:58] beat you soundray :O [18:58] * soundray cringes under Stormx2's weight [18:58] after running: update-rc.d ssh remove, i get = /etc/init.d/ssh exists during rc.d purge any ideas? [18:58] EdijusXP, sorry. It's outside the scope of the channel, and you'd probably figure it out way faster than I could, since I don't have access. [18:58] hey... random question [18:59] soundray, oh jog on :( [18:59] do you guys pronounce it SuDOO or SuDoh [18:59] dew or dough [18:59] dew [18:59] Stormx2: sorry :) [18:59] personally [18:59] Sue - Doh [18:59] =P === Webspot_ is now known as Webspot [18:59] EdijusXP, somewhere in your routers configuration webapp, there should be an option to choose encryption method. It should also provide a "no encryption" option. [18:59] (i.e. sue dough) [18:59] XiXaQ: Would be VNC enought? [18:59] yeah i've always thought it was like pseudo :p [18:59] EdijusXP, or something similar. [19:00] but if the do means literally "do" then it should be the other way [19:00] I can't get virtualbox to work because when I issue sudo gpasswd -a `whoami` vboxusers it doesnot add me to the group? [19:00] That's what it does mean, but you can pronounce acronyms however :O [19:00] vipaca, Are you using a gui you can use the users and groups manager [19:00] EdijusXP, that would have made it technically possible, but I don't have the time. I'm sure you will figure it out. Read your routers manual, or just explore it's interface. Have you used it before? [19:01] XiXaQ: OK. Thanks again, I will try when I have Ubuntu installed. [19:04] EdijusXP, good luck, and have fun :) [19:04] Scorp_, I can't find the .gpg file [19:04] Hi there!.. has anyone had problems with a pppoe through ADSL with this symptoms? ->After a while, connection stays alive but cannot resolve any hosts. Ping works, but plog returns blank. [19:04] su doh [19:04] err [19:05] soundray, I can't find the .gpg file [19:05] can you recommend me something good to play midi files ? [19:05] soundray, ohh nevermind got it [19:05] Riotta, I personally use vlc media player for everything [19:06] didn't know that vlc support midi format [19:06] Riotta, sudo apt-get install vlc [19:06] Riotta, it accually supports every fileformat i have ever thrown at it [19:07] can somebody help me with compiling my very first program? [19:07] MrPickle, Ask your question we will help you [19:08] cool...basically Ive got this program [didn't write it- downloaded from gnomefiles.org or something]. Ive got it ready to compile, but the 'make' fucntion doesnt seem to work [19:08] hi all [19:08] MrPickle, try gmake [19:08] can i make partition on disk from ubuntu live cd ? [19:08] Clint-, Ok I have verified the iso file, and its good [19:08] MrPickle: did you run ./configure [19:08] Hello I just now installed UBUNTU 8.0. I'm a new user. While installing it didn't ask me for any kind of root password [19:08] schmick_: cat /etc/resolv.conf ? === aaron is now known as TheComrade [19:09] waan, Then i would say it might be the usb drive [19:09] Clint-, guess that means to try copying the files from the thumb drive [19:09] schmick_: dig or nslookup ? [19:09] ergh - i'm having problems compiling the alsa modules [19:09] !root | yaazel [19:09] yaazel: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [19:09] make is giving me remarkably unhelpful errors [19:09] What does pciutil do? [19:09] yaazel; it isn't going to. use sudo to access root privileges [19:09] gleepglop, yeah and there werent any errors on that. The next step after that in the readme that came with this just says to use the command "make depend; make" [19:09] I'm having a problem with jackd, required for rosegarden [19:10] hello [19:10] yaazel: of course, you can also use your user account to give a password to root, if you really want to [19:10] http://pastebin.com/d6d7b8cd2 <-- make Error 2 when trying to compile alsa modules [19:10] I start the servers manually. Alsa crackles so much it's unusable, OSS works but it still crackles a lot [19:10] MrPickle: what app is it? [19:10] hoe can make partition on disk from ubuntu cd ? [19:10] yaazel: however, if you decide to enable root password, you're pretty much on your own [19:10] What does pciutils do? [19:11] !pciutils [19:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about pciutils [19:11] I think I know why I can't run it as root, though. 2 versions of Timidity [19:12] gleepglop: its called "crossfire", some kind of an rpg client. not all that sure what or why im doing with it [ive had ubuntu for a good solid 32 hours] [19:12] GleepGlop» nice try. [19:12] Clint-, what do you think would be the next step if it isn't the usb drive? [19:12] kahytan: nice try on what? [19:13] Clint-, because bad news, the usb stick is fine [19:13] What does pciutils do? [19:13] waan, hrmm im honestly nto sure [19:13] MrPickle: crossfire is in the repos [19:13] how do I copy "cp -a / /mnt/tmp" so that it wouldn't copy /mnt/tmp into itself? [19:14] gleepglop, whatchoo talkin bout, willis? [19:14] MrPickle, You can install it using in terminal sudo apt-get install crossfire [19:14] Hi, wierd problem: why on earth can I connect to apache when as far as I can tell it's not running? "... -k stop" for instance gives me: httpd (no pid file) not running. It's a ... ghost?? [19:14] it will install compile and config automatically [19:14] MrPickle: is it called crossfire-client ? [19:14] clint, ill give that a try [19:14] gleepglop, yeah [19:14] PCIUTILS This package contains various utilities for inspecting and setting of devices connected to the PCI bus. [19:15] MrPickle, As GleepGlop Just said it would be sudo apt-get install crossfire-client [19:15] MrPickle: it is in the repos [19:15] GleepGlop» epic fail. [19:15] gleepglop, what is repos? [19:15] apt-get [19:15] MrPickle, Repositories [19:15] apt-get install crossfire-client [19:15] Has anybody successfully installed hardy from a USB drive? [19:15] MrPickle, google ubuntu packages [19:15] ooooooh! [i r n00b, sry] [19:16] MrPickle, i think the site is packages.ubuntu.com [19:16] clint/gleepglop: thnx! [19:16] MrPickle, Anything on that site is installable using the apt-get install command via a terminal or via the synaptic package manager under the system emnu [19:17] MrPickle, No problem [19:17] kahrytan: what do want to know? lspci setpci ? === Igramul_ is now known as Igramul [19:18] ah, he's gone [19:18] =/ [19:19] how do I copy "cp -a / /mnt/tmp" so that it wouldn't copy /mnt/tmp into itself?

[19:20] RageMachine, you wanna do what now [19:21] RageMachine, If you do sudo shutdown now [19:21] Digg: most laptops have an Fn+Fx keycombo to do that [19:21] it will just turn the computer off [19:21] Digg: what video card do you have? [19:21] hateball, hey hate!!! its me ... dianapo (yesterday) remember? sound problems... [19:21] Clint- what about for reboot & logout?

[19:23] im using irssi. how can you make links clickable? [19:23] RageMachine; and probably best to do that from tty1 .. then shutdown whatever apps manaully in the gui [19:23] lone: just use a terminal which recognizes links [19:23] benzss: I quite like devede (its in the repos) [19:23] hello, what's the package name for the java plugin for firefox on ubuntu? [19:23] fluteflute: cool i will try it [19:23] lone: gnome-terminal, fore example, allows you to right click on http links [19:23] Vegar: hmm seems like i need to adjust the external display resolution.. you know how to?

[19:24] dmi3on, Sounds like you need to install your video drivers [19:24] dmi3on: how did you install the nvidia driver? [19:24] RageMachine; stopping gdm with that command will not give anything time to shutdown.. it is the same as alt+ctrl+backspace [19:24] can I partition after I installed ubuntu if I want to change it? [19:24] can i add the feature dir_index after creating the ext3 filesystem? [19:24] dmi3on, have you checked restricted drivers? [19:24] is it the sun-java6-plugin? [19:25] dmi3on: are you using nvidia's binary drivers? [19:25] RageMachine; well almost the same.. [19:25] bastid_raZor, i like your way also i think im gonna change my script to use that instead [19:26] Clint-, have you ever installed from hdd instead cd?

Does chanserv do this? [19:28] crblb, and ? [19:28] tech System->Preferences->Screen Resolution [19:28] dmi3on: click on the System menu, and then Administration -> Hardware Drivers. Then tell us if the checkbox for the Nvidia Restricted Driver is checked [19:28] MobileMyles: nickserv does it for registered ysers [19:28] crdlb, and ?

[19:31] is there a way for me to find out which compile options were given to the ssh that is included with ubuntu? [19:32] dmi3on: can you access the Nvidia config tool?

Then click on the menu System -> System Tools -> EnvyNG. Click on NVIDIA from the list, and select Apply. Follow the instructions after that. You will need to restart when it is done.

[20:13] phece: I think virtualbox will run most software if you install a MAC OS on it, but it's pretty limited in terms of taking advantage of your hardware. I've never run mac software on virtualbox. Try #virtualbox [20:13] !backports [20:13] If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports.

[20:13] RageMachine: cool [20:14] vooloo, you can set it to bounce or squish etc. so its pretty thorough [20:14] there are literally 10 or so different docks [20:14] lboken, i can so any think its just to option or 480x600 or 600x800 [20:14] Vooloo, you can join #awn and ask about it if you like [20:14] that it [20:14] Comptuer is my typo arch-nemisis [20:14] ha! Made you read! [20:14] nemesis*? [20:14] lmao slicky [20:14] yeah i get exatcly like that that why i tough you may had the same rouble butr you dont sicne you dont have a kvm [20:15] MobileMyles, slayton: alright, thanks [20:15] i try now disconnect second monitor [20:15] the only way was under kde management to do the restart x server on the option menu === AL1 is now known as Od3Lay [20:16] Hi, I have a quick question, is ipmasq necessary for an internet sharing connection to happen?

I just compiled a new kernel, the current 2.26.2 but still my microfon on the T60(82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio) wont work. Can anybody help me a bit ? [21:48] EugenMayer: as I said earlier, custom kernels aren't supported [21:48] first my video control was blacklisted (I got around this already) and second which is the problem that persist is, under glxinfo I have direct rendering equals to yes I can activate the desktop effects but when I do each time I open a tab on gnome terminal(or close it ) the background gets messed up (that is the terminal and the desktop background) same thing with cairo-dock each time i put the mouse over any item, my compiz config is pretty light [21:48] not much effects (all of them work by the way) but I just cant make it stop messing my background, installing XGL does the trick, it fixes the issue I just mentioned, but XGL on hardy is so slow :( what can I do?

[21:48] EugenMayer: no, I'm not kidding [21:49] EugenMayer: if you want updates to the kernel submit bug reports. Have you submitted a bug report [21:49] ikonia: cant believe just read that kind of answer, really. The so called stable kernel is not even able to scan with the total broke ipw3945 drivers, while the one before works.

[21:50] ikonia: why should i comment somethin what is obvously clear? The drivers used are totaly broken, just look at the gid of the developers, how many bugfixes happend till that time [21:51] EugenMayer: ok, wait for it to be fixed then [21:51] ikonia: all you need is update the drivers, no need for searching any bugs [21:51] anyone know hwy i would get this error when trying to install ubunto 8.04: buffer i/o error on device fd0, logical block 0 [21:51] EugenMayer: how do you update the drivers ? [21:51] nothing , just logged for the first time, trying to understand things [21:51] EugenMayer: or how should you update the drivers I should say [21:51] ikonia: updating the kernel ? [21:51] gallardo: this is a support channel, you ask support questions and people answer [21:51] ok [21:51] ikonia: thats why i use the 2.6.26.2 one. [21:51] Anyone know how to uninstall wicd and replace it with ubuntus built in wireless manager? [21:51] EugenMayer: so therefore you must understand what an effort updating the kernel version is to the community [21:51] chuck-: Let it time out, takes a bit... should work fine after that [21:52] chuck-: or use the alternate installer [21:52] ikonia: iam not new to this. [21:52] EugenMayer: so then you understand why the kenel version has not been updated [21:52] why would that happen though? I don't have a floppy drive installed [21:52] hi i am new to ubuntu i want to configure google talk can any one help meeeeeeee??? [21:52] ikonia: i did not offence that, i offenced your opinion about custom kernels are not supported [21:52] Could someone share xorg.conf for nvidia 7Go 1650x1080 ? [21:53] Anyone? [21:53] chuck-: Buggy installer? I dunno. Just know it's happened to me a few times [21:53] after installing compiz on my ubuntu 8.04 , i am unable to access my other workspaces.... what shall i do? [21:53] EugenMayer: well, they are not supported, if your building your own kernels you should be able to support them [21:53] ikonia: because while ubuntu can go that fast for fixing the bug, i can. So blaming me for that is kind of self-destructive. [21:53] Does anyone have, on the offchance, a broken IBM x23/24? [21:53] EugenMayer: no-one is blaming you [21:53] root__: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/internet/C/internet-instant-messaging.html [21:53] ikonia: actually the kernel is baken, its just the microphone playing bad.

[22:06] how to start the cpufreq-applet ? [22:06] or even install it [22:06] ejer so like i could be playing a game, and broadcasting it live over msn [22:06] hi [22:06] reesebw, if you need extra space you should be able to use the winxp partition. [22:07] ok, anyone who was here half an hour ago when i asked my question about getting my wireless card working: kaiwen posted what i needed to do. it didn't work [22:07] CShadowRun: it is possible to do, I don't know of an app that combines webcam with screen sharing out of the box [22:07] ejer maybe you could talk me through it? i have tried before with no sucess :( [22:08] ok [22:08] !wireless | ambush [22:08] ambush: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [22:08] i know i have to use some sort of loopback device and another app to fire webcam into it, but thats about as far as i got [22:08] i know, but I have been finding it a bit tedious to use. I really just need the extra space so I can use the ubuntu desktop more liberally as well as have room for apps. I thought I was going to use ubuntu as just a play space and gave it only 9 gigs which I realize is not enough to make it my main os. [22:08] fire the screen into it i mean :) [22:08] i would have to set it up myself first CShadowRun I would just use 2 apps for this personally and not try and stream thru video conference software [22:08] aww [22:08] * chull smiles [22:08] guess i'll keep looking then.

I clicked in the footer and Insert Fields Page Numbers .. and in the footer it /says' "Page Numbers" It should have numbers, no? [22:10] ejer yea but i'd like to have support not only for msn, but for other such things aswell, so a loopback device would be nice [22:10] i'm sure i'll figure it out [22:10] thanks ubottu, i'll take a look at those [22:10] test [22:10] !openoffice | chull [22:11] chull: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Writer_Guide/Page_numbering [22:11] how do I clean junk files?

[22:12] Pirate_Hunter: if you are not sure, why mess with it... is it causing problems [22:12] Please help! I have run the upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 and the computer is locked with 7 minutes to go?

[22:13] SeveredCross: nah using debfoster but some of the synaptic description is not that helpful but it seems gtk-theme-switch is using them so its ok to remove [22:13] it is working now [22:13] hey guys, is there a hot-key to switch between jobs, so instead of doing control+z, then %2 ( or whatever the job # is ) , I could do, control+F3 or something, is there any shortcut for this ? [22:13] helderam: looks like the site is down [22:13] Hmm. [22:13] I am using it to write this but the screen has the upgrade info with the line at 7 minutes to go? [22:13] gyro54: try leaving it along for about 23 more minutes, if nothing then start worrying. [22:13] ejer: im not messing with it just taking out the garbage that i dont need === SplinTer0616__ is now known as SplinTer0616_ [22:13] Pirate_Hunter: unless you can identify garbage that seems risky ;) and unnecessary [22:13] It has been on 7 minutes for about 3 hours [22:14] how do I mount a samba share so I can write to it? (not using nautilus) [22:14] ejer: just did with debfoster it is helpful very helpful [22:14] hi, is there an init.d script which resets all networking stuff and restarts the network manager applet?

I have an external harddrive. it is formatted in NTFS and use it to store my media. I want to share it with my xbox running XBMC. When I attempt to edit the sharing options I do not have the permissions. I do not have this problem with my other external formated in fat32. I can't seem to get control over this drive.

[22:15] bobertdos: thx === lubosz2 is now known as lubosz [22:15] If it was SeLinux, it'd say SELinux, not ufw. [22:15] lubosz2, : reset networking : sudo /etc/init.d/network restart [22:15] SeveredCross: thats what i thought [22:15] lubosz2: You can always ls /etc/init.d to make sure it's there. [22:15] Do there is a way to clean junk files? I tried the Firefox cleaning [22:15] lubosz, : sorry networking not network === csky_max_afk is now known as cmax [22:15] and all stuff [22:16] ejer: debfoster deletes dependencies used by apps which apt-get & aptitude leave behind as well as telling you which modules a program has installed with it, you should search for it and read the page === cmax is now known as cskmax [22:16] No the desktop is still working but is the original 7.10.

[22:17] Is there a backport for nvidia-glx-new? [22:17] I need the latest driver for my video card. [22:17] Hi, I've posted on the general help forums, but I was wondering if anyone here would mind taking a stab at a lowly newb's problem? [22:17] Otherwise I"m stuck using the binary which is causing a few problems [22:17] ejer: isnt that comment based upon opinion and im sure this conversation is supposed to be in offtopic [22:17] Hazelip: Ask away :) [22:17] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=883104&highlight=shutdown <- my post [22:18] I've gotten my Compaq Presario V6000 up and running with 8.04.1 and everything is happy in hooville. [22:18] But, when I shut down, or the system goes into hibernate, I get a messed up screen that looks like my laptop is trying to eat the LCD. [22:18] It appears to shut down normally, start up is fine, and I have no other graphical or visual problems. [22:19] hi, i'm trying to install stuff bit it doesn't make sense. If I can't get something by apt-get, I download the source, but then ./configure always fails, ive tried on about ten things [22:19] It's weird, but I don't know if I should be concerned or not being completely new. [22:19] Hazelip: That still sounds like a problem with the video driver. What graphics device is in that system? [22:19] tobylane tried reading the error messages that ./configure puts out? It's usually because you have missing dependancies. [22:19] It's an nvidia, and the driver updates came down automatically. [22:19] I'm firing it up now to get the details. [22:20] Hazelip: Restriced or open-source? [22:20] it says things like gtk, gcc, etc aren't there, and they are [22:20] Pirate_Hunter: no, not opinion at all, and you asked the question, meaning you don't understand what the lib is for, hence since this is a support channel I advised you not to mess with stuff you don't understand, feel free to ignore me and do it anyways [22:20] tobylane: what do you want to install [22:20] Restricted, I think. The video drivers are lumped in with the Broadcom drivers as "being needed to make this computer work." or some kind of wording. [22:20] ejer: XD [22:20] #ubuntu-es [22:20] icedtea and gnash [22:20] or whatever java/flash you suggest [22:21] Can anyone offer wine help with mirc?

I was already editing it [gedit .bashrc] but cant find that damn file, im curious where it hid.

[22:26] Will the computer work if I restart if the upgrade to 8.04 stopped at 7 minutes to go? [22:26] ejer: don't bother, was curious [22:26] verynew: by editing the file you create it [22:26] I thought restricted drivers were proprietary drivers? [22:26] verynew: it will be found in ~/.bashrc [22:27] gyro54, try, at the worst you'll have to reinstall [22:27] *re upgrade [22:27] If anybody here hasn't tried terminator, you should.. it's fabulous [22:27] Hazelip, they are- he thinks you aren't using them already - i believe [22:27] gyro54: leave it for a while (like 10 mins) then if its stuck troubleshoot from there [22:27] ejer: it isnt there.... or i dont see it [22:27] are in linux hidden files?

[22:55] pgreptom, I don't recall... it was settings on one of my media players I think... but the key is I wasted time searching for codecs and it was the hardware drivers (XV etc) that needed to be corrected.

[23:06] Vooloo, i just used google and looked around [23:06] I use the front end in mplayer. But it doesn't seem like ANY of them will fix the other players .. perhaps I should just re-configure x back to default? Are those settings stored in xorg? [23:06] Not in xorg.conf [23:06] Vooloo, and found that using the windows program under wine was 300000000 times easier =P [23:07] ejer: yesterday before i re-installed linux, i clicked "get flashplayer" and it loaded it like an extension, got it, and said to restart..... today its taking me to an adobe page and asking me to get that tar.gz [23:07] Where can I reset it at?

[23:14] blaqlight: whats the command for cups [23:14] rebel_kid: if it is, the rest is entirely self explanatory. [23:14] rooroo82: you need to put it into a directory that the $PATH variable lists.

[23:14] TiredWolf, so physically put the script there? [23:14] rooroo82: you also need to have #!/usr/bin/ruby as the first line of your program, and make it executable using chmod +x filename. [23:14] rooroo82, you need to make the script pico startprog.sh into /usr/local/bin then make your script then chmod +x script.ext [23:14] rebel_kid: ok so the rest is self explanatory yes? [23:14] ^^ [23:15] (Q) Nautilus keeps leaking memory. Does anyone know a way I can killall nautilus whenever it starts to use more than 200 MB of ram? [23:15] anyone hear what i said? [23:15] Some ppl said to removew "quite splash" and add "all_generic_ide" I hv no idea what they r saying [23:15] rooroo82: yes, of course. the system doesn't look for commands in every conceivable directory in your filesystem... only in /sbin, /bin, /usr/bin, and a couple of others (all listed if you type echo $PATH). [23:15] Ok I get that [23:15] blaqlight: what device do i tell it it is [23:15] how can i save the file "modules"? (i have no root) [23:15] Sorry am I being unbelievably thick here? I create a .sh file containing what exactly? [23:15] rooroo82: why would you create a .sh file, if your program is a ruby script? [23:15] rebel_kid: whatever device it is... I don't know, you got the printer :P [23:16] TiredWolf, I was reading Clint-'s reply too [23:16] rooroo82: i mean, you can give it the file extension you want (including none), but ".sh" is generally used for shell scripts [23:16] ScubaSam, did you make sure that sdf1 existed, and is a valid fat (old style windows) partition? [23:16] Yeah I know .sh [23:16] DX: Could you paste the exact error somewhere? [23:16] blaqlight: i have no idea what most of these options are, its a lexmark on a usb port [23:16] Ok I'll try it, 1 sec [23:16] any ideas yet? [23:16] i did what the instructions said [23:16] as i said [23:16] im completely new to linux [23:16] DX: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/ [23:16] It's just there's no specific command I do puts "Cow say what?" cowsay = gets [23:16] DX, the link I gave you tells you how to go about adding all_generic_ide [23:17] rebel_kid: lol good luck with that, some are supported,,, most are not. lexmark is mostly windows friendly :P [23:17] rooroo82: well, is i read that correctly, Clint- is wrong. you definitely don't need to make a separate script to *start* your program, your program is perfectly capable of starting itself. [23:17] ScubaSam, those instructions probably expect you to modify a bit, to match your system. For example, sdf1 is the first partition on the 6th mounted drive. You'd have to adjust that [23:17] I need to know how to reset my gnome session settings/delete them. [23:17] blaqlight: any idea on what device it might be, and whats a lin friendly printer [23:17] Nautilus keeps leaking memory. Does anyone know a way I can killall nautilus whenever it starts to use a lot of ram? [23:17] how to debug the phc? i patched the kernel, but the phc settings seem not to affect the system. under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq i have the correct outputs, but the system does not even crash on a vid of 5 [23:18] rebel_kid: hp has its own libraries... linux ones :D [23:18] Blaqlight: Lexmark is barely windows friendly :D [23:18] so what exactly do i do [23:18] Softdel: but even less so linux friendly... [23:18] im a XP person so i dont really know anything about all this [23:18] ScubaSam, since I don't know what all is on your system, what device the external is mounted as, I couldn't give you specifics. [23:18] Blaqlight: It just doesn't work on Linux, along with Dell printers too (same system) [23:19] Ok so I put the ruby file in there [23:19] Now what? [23:19] Blaqlight: Try apt-get --reinstall gnome-session [23:19] rebel_kid: HPLIP is all about hp printers working with CUPS. [23:19] Hi y'all... Is it possible to install kdemod on ubuntu hardy ?! [23:19] rooroo82: sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/filename [23:19] rooroo82: and then make sure the line #!/usr/bin/ruby is the first line in your program. [23:19] getting further with my wubi: 'Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(104,1)' ?! [23:19] Done [23:20] um, its an external hard drive, 250 gb right now its the only thing hooked up to it usb wise [23:20] getBoa: Yeah, if it runs in KDE/Ubuntu/kubuntu it should work [23:20] Softdel: funny, some dell systems come with ubuntu preinstalled... why wouldn't their printers support linux... [23:20] TiredWolf, I didin't tell him he needed to make a script to start it that was his question so please dont say someone is wrong unless you read the full question. [23:20] rooroo82: now type the command name. [23:20] Yeah problem with that, it actually takes input first [23:20] Blaqlight: Because their AIO's are based on the lexmark platform... [23:20] getBoa, that looks like a specific modification of kde for the arch distribution, not for ubuntu [23:20] Blaqlight: Hence why you cant add them to a linux order :P [23:20] i checked that link but what does this mean "Tried booting with the all_generic_ide" [23:21] lol thats foolish. [23:21] hmm, and about the ramdisk, it says 'invalied compressed format (err=1)' [23:21] i m not a coder lol [23:21] Clint-, he asked "[00:15] Hmm how could I get my program to create a new command on ubuntu?", and then explained further into "u [23:21] [00:16] I [23:21] well, into what he said [23:21] where do you set the fonts for gtk apps?? [23:21] HIs first question was i recreated a program in ruby how do i make a script to start it [23:21] Anyone know if its possible to have rsyncd, configured where a client can only upload files, and not download? [23:21] Clint-: never mentioned making shell scripts to start things. [23:21] DX, it means look at the bootoptions link on that page, and follow those instructions :) You're going to be adding some parameters to the boot [23:21] nickrud: Yeah, you're right, archlinux specific. [23:22] TiredWolf, he did before the 2nd time he asked but its fine [23:22] Hi all, I turned on Ubuntu this morning to find that everything had reverted back to the settings that are default at install - any way to reverse this? Thanks [23:22] HP is your best bet for linux supported printers. [23:22] i did that and same problem [23:22] Clint-: what did that question say exactly? i must have missed it [23:22] i even tried that floppy: off command [23:22] hello [23:22] No joy with it anyway [23:23] rooroo82: i don't understand what's the problem with it taking input. [23:23] well i only got 3 minutes till i have to get off [23:23] goodbyegravity: its not the program 'gnome-session' thats the problem... its its settings store.. [23:23] TiredWolf, its not important m8 ive cleared screen alreaDY [23:23] Sorry I'm being a little vague [23:23] as long as he is sorted all that matters [23:23] hi, I want to use my mobile phone as a remote for my computer, and I found a nice howto on ubuntuforums. The only "problem" is that the program recommended in that guide is anyRemote, and it does not exist in the repos, and the developer only offers it as source code. Does anybody know if similar software is available through repos? I've tried searching, but found nothing yet.. [23:23] Who's running Ubuntu on Celeron????????????? [23:23] I am! [23:23] i think i have ubuntu on a celeron somewhere [23:24] Basically when you do ruby cow.rb it starts by printing a question. It then takes the response and uses that to echo the sentence the cow says [23:24] How do I play rmvb files? [23:24] Clint-: i agree it's not important, but he never said that - i do have logs. [23:24] DX: isn [23:24] So there's isn't a specific command per se [23:24] The script starts itself [23:24] t one question mark [lenty :P [23:24] how do i enable 3d acceleration? [23:24] oh man :S [23:24] rooroo82, you're merely running your Ruby program, no more no less. what did you instead want to achieve? [23:24] DX, one question mark is enough, we still see it's a question [23:24] well whatever ill try and come back tomorrow [23:25] sorry about tht [23:25] since no one could help today [23:25] TiredWolf, type something like "Moomake" and my ruby script would start [23:25] hey, i've written neat script (as nickrud said), put it into files system/bin, created launcher on desktop with command:[script_name], executed launcher and it said 'permission denied'. What the.. ? [23:25] rooroo82: have not been following too closely, but just put your script (with no file extension) in /usr/local/bin, then do sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/yourcowsayapp [23:25] ehm is there ext4 default FS? [23:25] How do I play .rmvb files? [23:25] filthpig, try searching google for anyRemote deb [23:25] rooroo82: and it does, provided you called your script's filename "/usr/local/bin/Moomake" [23:25] Nautilus keeps leaking memory. Does anyone know a way I can killall nautilus whenever it starts to use a lot of ram? [23:25] hi how do i know if I am running 64 bit [23:25] Ah got it! [23:25] verynew: right click on the program and check its permissions, also if its in /usr/bin you don't have access without sudo/gksu [23:26] Sorry, I'd left the extension [23:26] verynew, did you make the script executable? chmod u+x ~/bin/scriptname [23:26] rooroo82: extensions are ignored in Linux [23:26] verynew: it needs to have execution privileges [23:26] nickrud: no [23:26] er...anyone? [23:26] rooroo82: if you put one there, though, you'll have to always put it there. [23:26] since it's merely a part of the filename like anything else [23:26] !3d [23:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about 3d [23:26] !3dacceleration [23:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about 3dacceleration [23:26] TiredWolf, yeah [23:26] Working perfectly now [23:26] timo, try "uname -a" and see if you have something like "x86_64" in the output [23:26] !nvidia | Dexikiix [23:26] Dexikiix: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [23:26] uname -a [23:26] So for this to happen on every system I need to make a .deb package? [23:27] rooroo82: define "every system" [23:27] does ~/bin mean files_system/bin? cause i dont have /bin in my home directory [23:27] please check http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=882411 that is the problem i m having [23:27] UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [23:27] ? [23:27] this can't be good, a huge thnderstorm in the desert... [23:27] ohh no 24 bit [23:27] Any ubuntu system that cared to install the package [23:27] theRealBall, not really it's not yet ready, it's still in development stage... [23:27] rooroo82: yes, you'd have to make a package. ubuntu packages are .deb. [23:27] yup [23:28] !packaging > rooroo82 [23:28] rooroo82, please see my private message [23:28] How do I play .rmvb files? [23:28] Ah thanks :) [23:28] How to save a photo from 1.1MB to 150kB? [23:28] i have problem with gproftd and joomla 1.5 cms , it seems it needs ftp layer to install corectly but it dont want accept proftpd user/pass and path in its settings. anyone have clu how to fix this ? [23:28] I was about to say it runs great for 64 bit [23:28] I need to reset my gnome settings so that it will completely load, right now its just a blank screen... [23:28] iki, make the resolution smaller and/or change the encoding quality [23:28] wubi uses ramdisk. if you run wubi with 246 MiB of mem (instead of recommended 256 MiB) can that cause an 'Invalid compressed format (err=1)' error? [23:29] eek, looks complicated! [23:29] Let's get dug in [23:29] Mark_vH: how did you end up with 246MB of ram? [23:29] Probably built-in video [23:29] kane77: Is there any automatic way of doing that? I need a photo of exactly 150 kB? [23:29] good question =) [23:29] rooroo82: a bit. but it's much easier for a ruby script. except you have to find out which, of all the 200 pages of stuff you need to read into, is relevant to a Ruby program. [23:29] haha yeah [23:29] iki, not one I know of, sorry [23:29] Shouldn't be awful [23:30] I'll learn anyway [23:30] anyone know much about amd processors? [23:30] i'm running out of options though, i tried the normal cd, the alternative cd, and now wubi..and none of them seem to work for me [23:30] rooroo82, you might want to look at the transcripts of the Open Week classes, the Packaging 101 class explains things in a bit more humane a manner. [23:30] goodbyegravity: lol I use 128MB of built in video in RAM, it still reports 1GB of ram... [23:30] Will do [23:30] !openweek > rooroo82 [23:30] rooroo82, please see my private message [23:30] slammed87d21, you should rather ask your question... [23:30] kane77: so just change resolution and somehow encoding in Gimp? Roger? [23:30] Blaqlight: Yeah, my laptop does that, but my old desktop reports the available memory I guess [23:30] Ah nice [23:31] * rooroo82 saves [23:31] can you swap a amd 64 for a core2 duo? [23:31] Not in the same motherboard [23:31] :/ and ubuntu installation was so painless on my other laptop... [23:31] slammed87d21: lol the sockets are diffent.. [23:31] But they're both 64-bit [23:31] How do I play .rmvb files? [23:31] nickrud: i typed ' chmod u+x ~bin/xtermscript' and received 'cannot change priviliges to `bin/xtermscript': operation not permitted' [23:31] ok, how about a amd 64 and an amd 64x2? [23:32] iki, yes, I'm not sure if gimp has that but photoshop shows the size while you modify the quality setting [23:32] Hmm.. [23:32] slammed87d21: that all depends on the socket... but I doubt it. [23:32] slammed87d21, it depends on MB, but usually yes.. [23:32] so my view in evolution used to be the main window, with the upper half listing all my messages and the lower half would display the specific highlited message [23:32] thanks [23:32] but now its just one jiant window with a list of the messages [23:32] help? [23:33] I want to remove gnome-pilot, but why does it say it will also remove ubuntu desktop?! [23:33] Blaqlight, both 64 and 64 X2 use the same socket (AM2) so there should be no problem.. [23:33] But there is also AM2+ and AM3 [23:33] just started xchat in ubunto for the first time, how come i can not see the users in the room like mirc? [23:33] ubunt* [23:33] ...got it [23:34] but thanks anyway [23:34] jay_: Click the button on the left that says "1254 users" [23:34] Vooloo, : don't care, ubuntu-desktop is only a meta-package [23:34] Next to the text input [23:34] ahhhh.. i see thank you [23:34] kane77: Im still using a AMD XP 1700 :P [23:34] it worked! i ticked 'let the program to be executed as a program' and it worked! yay ^_^ thank you guys! [23:34] no way to perm put them on display? [23:34] t@let the file [23:34] georgy_28: so Ihave no other apps that are dependent on ubuntu-desktop? [23:35] jay_: Uhmmm.. [23:35] goodbyegravity, AM2+ is backwards compatible with AM2 [23:35] anybody happens to have hardy running on Fujitsu Amilo L 6820? [23:35] * Blaqlight watches as verynew switches to slightlynew :D [23:35] Ah, I wasn't sure [23:35] jay_: I don't think so, but there may be a version that implements this [23:35] Vooloo, : yep ! [23:35] koversation does i think, but thats more for kubuntu right? [23:35] right, have to change nick ^_^, thanks again and bye, g2g [23:36] jay_: Yeah.. but I seem to remember xchat having a full userlist at one point [23:36] jay_: They may have taken the feature out [23:36] can i use a proxy with xchat? i dont see an option [23:37] goodbyegravity, according to wikipedia even AM3 processors will be able to run in AM2 motherboards.. [23:37] (but not the other way around) [23:37] Have AMD started making quad-core Phenoms yet? I'm a little behind the times [23:37] yes amd did from what i heard [23:37] jay_: I don't see one either, but there may be a plugin available [23:37] quad core phenoms, my firned claims to have one [23:38] I want to get a Q660(?) for the future, but they're so much more expensive than dual-cores [23:38] kane77: i found them but i have to set the resolution in opening new file. Thanks! [23:38] 6600 [23:38] yeah im running daul core AMD i am not rich eaither [23:38] And the Phenom boards had some flaw up until the latest ones, didn't they? [23:38] I seen in the new linux pro mag they are adding linux built in to the mother board [23:38] Just like my beautiful 7800GT that is doomed to die a fevered, flaming death. [23:39] Yeah, ASUS started that I think with Splashtop. [23:39] I *heart* ASUS. [23:39] buetiful [23:39] wow i cant beleive xchat does not let me go irc anonymous, no firewall / proxy settings for a socks 5? [23:40] Hi, I need help. My problem is I get a black screen after the orange load bar finishes, and I haven't even gotten to the desktop yet. This is while I'm trying to install ubuntu. [23:41] Okay, I finally got Compiz-Fusion installed and running the way I like it, but it seems to have disabled my touchpad when I have it running, does anyone know of a fix for this? [23:41] does 01:00.1 = PCI:1:0:1 ? [23:41] Mica: Can you paste the contents of your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to a page on http://pastebin.ubuntu.com ? [23:41] goodbyegravity: How can I access /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? [23:42] hmm.. now I'm thinking about buying new CPU.. thanx guys :( [23:42] is there some kind of issue with running TOR with ubuntu? via firefox? [23:42] From GNOME, you can hit Alt-F2 and type "gedit" into the run bar. [23:42] cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:42] Or yeah, what jparishy_ said. [23:42] And from gedit you can just click Open and browse to it. [23:42] ok so does anyone know how to reset my gnome settings... I am getting frustrated with it. [23:42] goodbyegravity: Where is "gnome" ? Sorry, I'm not good at this stuff. [23:42] what's the default filesystem to go with? [23:43] GNOME is just your desktop environment. [23:43] Alt-F2 is the keyboard shortcut for the application launcher or Run box. [23:43] i tried to install ubuntu server and could not figure out how to install gnome GUI :( [23:43] goodbyegravity: I don't _get_ to my desktop environment, I'm on Windows side now. [23:43] ...lol. [23:43] Sorry. [23:43] Yeah. [23:43] sudo apt -get install gnome did not work lol [23:44] install gnome-desktop [23:44] er [23:44] ubuntu-desktop [23:44] thats like the only command iknow so far besides cd .. and ls [23:44] lo [23:44] Uhm.. the easiest way might just be to load it onto a flash drive or something; you'd need network access without GNOME, and that takes a bit of voodoo. [23:44] apt-cache is always fun :P [23:45] When you get to the black screen, you should be able to press Alt-Ctrl-F2 or Alt-Ctrl-F3,4,5,6 and drop to a login prompt [23:45] you use 'apt-cache search ' to search through the available repos, very useful [23:45] how do you reset the settings to alsa mixer? [23:45] gah, why do people always quit just before I finally google out the fix ;( [23:45] Or you can select the Recovery option in Ubuntu's bootloader and choose the login terminal there [23:45] I am switching from windows so this is all new, im still learning how to unzip and install a tar.gz file much diffrent from zip [23:45] anyone know where evolution saves it's signatures? [23:45] I get an error saying missing file/directory [23:45] when i try to save [23:45] how do i change server(network) with xCHAT gnome? [23:45] goodbyegravity: Don't tell me about the recovery option, I can't get to it. :P Trust me, I just came back from 30 minutes of looking for the moment to press esc to get it =l [23:46] thanks guys i will come back when its not as busy [23:46] It doesn't give you the option when your computer loads? [23:46] goldengold: /server the.server.com [23:46] jay_, 'tar -xvf ' will unzip your tar [23:46] goldengold type /server [23:46] goodbyegravity: No, when I press esc when it tells me to, there is no option for recovery. [23:46] is it even possible to reset the alsa mixer settings? [23:46] That's weird. [23:46] example: /server irc.2600.net [23:46] But you should still be able to do the Alt-Ctrl-F2-6 bit when you see the black screen. [23:47] how's XFS for a default filesystem? [23:47] yuck i do not like xchat so far [23:47] Try BitchX if you're into masochism. [23:47] konversation is much better imo [23:48] goodbyegravity: I'm pretty sure I can, but I'd like to know what to do after I press Alt+Ctrl+F2 so that I don't have to check if it works then come back. [23:48] Yeah, from there you can check out that log file and see if there are some errors. And you can set a fallback driver in your configuration. [23:48] goodbyegravity: A fallback driver..? [23:49] Yeah, the 'vesa' driver should work with just about anything. It sounds like Xorg isn't picking up on your video card correctly. [23:49] goodbyegravity: I use Nvidia's drivers from their site. [23:50] i'm sort of new to linux, but could someone tell me how to login as root [23:50] Well, switching to vesa is a quick way to see if it's the driver, but the log file will list every error. [23:50] Hey all, I've got some REALLY choppy video going on, I'm using HH, fglrx drivers. I get choppy video at a window on the desktop, no full screen, and web video is also very choppy, could anyone help me figure out what the problem is [23:50] i just installed a new ubuntu 8.04 64bit desktop. Never used 64bit before, but thought I'd give it a try. Having lots of troubles getting java and eclipse installed and running. [23:50] You can also start X directly to see if it's the login manager that's the issue. [23:51] goodbyegravity: How can I do that? [23:51] why would ia32-libs not be installed by default? [23:51] Once you drop down into the login terminal with Alt-Ctrl-F, you can type "startx" . [23:51] tauren_: not all apps are 64bit compatible [23:51] goodbyegravity: After I type "startx" what can I do? [23:52] So, I'm trying to get it so when I'm in xchat and I click a link it opens the page in a new tab in my current firefox session. Currently is just starts a new firefox session, without even going to the link in question. In my gconf-editor the url-handler for IRC says just "firefox" how do I fix this? [23:52] It should try to load X without the login manager, and GNOME should appear if that's the problem. [23:52] gaintsura: i'm seeing that now... do i really get any advantages with 64bit? [23:52] But it sounds like a driver issue. [23:52] It usually is. :/ [23:52] tauren_: speed, processing abilities [23:52] does anyone know of a newsreader that allows for the import of .nzb files? ive tried using Pan but it doesn't seem to import them [23:52] goodbyegravity: If it is a driver issue, how can I fix it? [23:52] tauren_: mostly quicker data xfer since you've got 32 more lines to the cpu [23:53] gaintsura: but less options for software I can run [23:53] when i insert my wireless card and boot it freezes and does not load [23:53] There are a thousand variables for that, depending on which card you're using. Switching to the fallback driver will give you some insight, but fixing it can be difficult. [23:53] tauren_: currently, yes, that is slowly changing though [23:53] Hi all [23:53] Groin-grabbingly difficult. [23:53] cisco 350 series [23:53] Buenas [23:54] in this moment when i use apt do an segmentation fault [23:54] tauren_: you MIGHT (don't quote me) be able to find a 32bit emulator of sorts, but I'm not too sure [23:54] gaintsura: ok, cool. i found that there is 64 bit versions of java and eclipse, so i'm getting them installed. [23:54] how can I install Java6 sdk and java 3d? [23:54] So, I'm trying to get it so when I'm in xchat and I click a link it opens the page in a new tab in my current firefox session. Currently is just starts a new firefox session, without even going to the link in question. In my gconf-editor the url-handler for IRC says just "firefox" how do I fix this? [23:54] tauren_: I'm not a big fan of eclipse, I've been using bluefish for some time now, its lightweight and quick [23:54] is there a version of ubuntu thats for laptops with wireless? [23:55] slammed87d21: any [23:55] slammed87d21: I think they all come with the same drivers. [23:55] What card are you using? [23:55] Card/chipset if you know it. [23:55] slammed87d21: you just need to find the correct drivers (either ndiswrapper or madwifi depending on the laptop wifi) [23:55] gaintsura: i'll check out bluefish, never heard of it. the thing that gets me the most is the error message when you try to run a non-64bit app. [23:55] goodbyegravity: when i boot with recovery mode, it stops because some sort of key file is missing [23:55] goodbyegravity: So, should I go try to see if "startx" will work? [23:55] gaintsura: type ./eclipse and it says "file not found". of course I set +x on it. [23:55] Hi , I have a "segmentation fauld" in mu hardy with apt update [23:55] how do you install madwifi? [23:55] Mica: Yeah, you can, but you should thumb through the log file while ou have the chance. [23:55] some help please [23:55] geekishgeekguy: What key file? Does it say?

[23:56] slammed87d21: download madwifi drivers, make && sudo make install [23:56] I would like to preface my question by stating that I have spent a considerable amount of time researching this before asking :-) [23:56] mmap__: Good start :) [23:57] I just purchased an MP3 player and Ubuntu (8.04 hardy) does not recognize it when I plug it in [23:57] Does it say PlaysForSure on the box? [23:57] by "does not recognize it" I mean, it doesn't even create a SCSI device in /dev [23:57] i forget, but the only way to bypass it is to press ctrl-alt-del, but it skips stuff and gnome doesn't load [23:57] hi, i have used a proxy called freegate and after closing it i have a probleme when i tried to do the updates it said that he is unable to contact the host 127.0.0.1:8580 [23:57] what can i do? [23:57] plz help me [23:57] Well, you can do the same thing I told Mica to load GNOME directly: type "startx" after you login. [23:57] gaintsura: thanks for your help [23:57] mmap__: What happens in 'dmesg' on connect? [23:57] I just downloaded emilnes deb package and isntalled it and Its not showing up.

[23:58] mmap__: Some MP3 players are built to use Windows' connectivity; they don't show up as physical devices. [23:59] please help me [23:59] but it did create some devices I've never seen before in /dev: crw-rw---- 1 root root 254, 0 2008-08-07 15:51 usbdev3.5_ep00 [23:59] (etc) [23:59] they are there.
