[00:42] oh ok.. [00:42] i thought you said they were on different drivefs [00:43] IndyGunFreak, yeah its very wierd.

I have freespace on the hard drive. How do I do this? [02:46] Hi can anyone tell me a tool in Linux which is similar to Winxp system restore? [02:47] kerin: No, but it's totally unnecessary, especially in his case. [02:47] The drive is 1TB, and the existing partition is 750GB. [02:47] someone said this is a bug for hardy heron, does it is? [02:47] i jist need to know what to do at users and groups [02:47] there is 250GB at the end of the drive. How do I extend the partition? [02:47] flannel: understood, and i respect not complicating the issue! i shall be quiet. was just curious if there was something i didn't know. [02:48] kerin: Nah, editing sudoers is dangerous (especially if you have no idea what you're doing). So, apart from just being complicated for the sake of complication, its more risky than the easier methods.

[03:12] I think it's probably some other process eating up resources on the computer. [03:12] shadowhywind: generally, googling the exact error message will give you possible solutions [03:13] it is probably kacpi_notify [03:13] eeaaxx: i don't think it has changed.

[03:13] prince_jammys: i got this message "Package libdvdcss2 is not available, but is referred to by another package." [03:13] not sure pajamian...I mean I would have noticed it, I've tried running various cpu/process monitors [03:13] Thurston: the display driver may not be installed [03:13] eeaaxx: do you have the medibuntu repositories enabled?

[03:15] hell0 [03:15] Excellent, thanks. [03:15] ryan------: but the nature of the problem suggests that there is some resource that is getting to a particular threshold and then causing the problem. [03:16] it would seem that, I can agree. but I'm almost positive that it's not anything stressing out the system to a point that it could crawl on it's knee's that way [03:17] thanks, i've installed libdvdcss2 [03:17] eeaaxx: cool. [03:17] ryan------: yep, fair enough, it's probably a combination of things, then. If you can find one service that you can restart to make the problem go away for a while that would be very helpful. I would try restarting one service at a time when it next happens and see if the problem disappears when you do for one in particular. [03:18] true...didn't think about that one.

[03:20] it will help [03:20] squarebracket: check out tldp.org [03:20] (Desktop) [03:20] true about compiz, not sure if it's enabled right now or not. checking [03:20] squarebracket: the Bash guide there is the best guide. you can also apt-get install abs-guide [03:20] hey guys [03:20] what's the best bittorrent client of ubujntu [03:20] ryan------: I really would prefer to keep it in channel. [03:20] havocstorm: rtorrent [03:20] prince_jammys: didn't know it was in the repos, thanks for that [03:21] squarebracket: but the one in #bash is the best. [03:21] ZeroSerenity, when you boot the desktop CD is has an option about trying out ubuntu without making any changes [03:21] here is an error wen i try 2 open an ibm website: Download Director applet cannot be loaded. [03:21] Java support must be enabled to run. [03:21] .......can anyone tell me how i can enable java for swiftweasel [03:21] !havocstorm, transmission comes pre-installed [03:21] cool, thanks everyone :) [03:21] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:21] !best | havocstorm, transmission comes pre-installed [03:21] havocstorm, transmission comes pre-installed: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [03:21] Thanks Venger. [03:22] RequinB4, transmission is kinda simple, is there something like utorrent for ubuntu? [03:22] havocstorm; ktorrent [03:22] no problem, I can understand. I just turned off compiz.. I need to restart a service, I think it might kick me out of kdm, brb (kubuntu btw, obviously) [03:22] !bittorrent [03:22] Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P [03:23] how can I blackroute outgoing port 48396 ?

[03:23] iptables EvilDennisR [03:23] havocstorm; yes, deluge-torrent may be a better route to go if you're anti-KDE [03:23] !firewall | EvilDennisR [03:23] EvilDennisR: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [03:23] hey everyone, is ther anyone who can help me with this stuff: [03:23] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization [03:23] havocstorm: if you're addicted to utorrent: http://news.softpedia.com/news/uTorrent-under-Ubuntu-in-3-Easy-Steps-49037.shtml [03:24] building a custom ubuntu cd WITH updates and other packages [03:24] but that's not really recommended because generall you want to use native windows apps [03:24] linux apps * [03:24] You just cursed in channge RequinB4 [03:24] ? [03:25] You said the w word [03:25] it never worked...... [03:25] (im back by the way) [03:25] could i just...install ubuntu 6 and the updated it to 8? [03:25] after the installation [03:25] like a windows update [03:25] because i plan on doing a dual boot [03:25] what do you mean ubuntu 6? [03:25] The user should be allowed to install whatever programs he/she wants, no matter if it might be "better" another way [03:26] well i have a live cd [03:26] Do you mean 6.06? [03:26] with ubuntu version 6.xx or something [03:26] but i want the new version [03:26] Thurston: why do you not go have a root canal instead? i think it would be less painful :) [03:26] why not just start with 8.10? instead of upgrading [03:26] because my current live cd isnt working right [03:26] Thurston: try the alternate CD, then [03:26] .......can anyone tell me how i can enable java for swiftweasel [03:26] !alternate | Thurston [03:26] Thurston: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [03:27] anyone from germany here [03:27] !de [03:27] Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [03:27] dexter: it should be largely the same as for FF. [03:27] pajamian, here is one thing for certain. when this issue is going on, my screensaver is extremely jumpy, and I am unable to ctrl+alt+f1-f6 to get another shell. [03:27] i do believe i have th ealternate cd already [03:28] but can i nstall it to have it dual boot with windows? [03:28] ryan------: that sounds like RAM or CPU getting used up. Is your HDD thrashing as well? [03:28] Thurston: yes. [03:28] Thurston: yes [03:28] ok, awesome [03:28] pajamian; actually i dunno how 2 do that... i tried opening a particular ibm website..nd it says dat java suppost shld be enabled [03:28] I currently dual book with windows xp and ubuntu 8.190 [03:28] !java | dexter [03:28] dexter: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [03:28] Thurston: yes, but the same deal goes - be careful not to screw up and delete anything [03:28] i think im gonna try it out real quick then. thanks guys [03:28] always install microsoft first [03:28] i'll be back if it doesnt work ;) lol [03:29] Thurston: good luck [03:29] thanks [03:29] Thurston: is windows installed already? [03:29] Thurston: i would recommend (longer, but safter) to pre-make the partitions [03:29] heh [03:29] ryan------: howmuch RAM does your system have? [03:29] no, hd is steady, core 2 duo 2.33ghz 4gb ram [03:29] hd is fine/idle, I mean, not steady used [03:29] Thurston: IIRC, if you install the windopws first, and then the ubuntu, at LEAST the 8.04.1 cd(which I've used for that) will auto-confiure grub to dual-boot them for you :) [03:29] ryan------: 4gb should be more than enough, heh. [03:30] who knows where the iwconfig conf file is?? [03:30] i want to edit the settings [03:30] lol yeah, I was thinking that myself. I mean I'm pretty experienced using linux, going on 9 years...but this one just has me stumped [03:30] smack_tat: did you try doing a locate on the file? [03:30] ryan------: sounds like you know as much as I do, then. [03:30] nope [03:30] dunno man, doubt that [03:30] try that [03:30] smack_tat: man iwconfig probably knows. at the bottom of the doc, usually. [03:31] everybody has their own input on things, there is too much to know. I'm better on application based stuff, but not system stuff. other people are better with system than app [03:31] ryan-----: can you repeat your problem? [03:31] ryan------: my experience with linux isn't much more than that, and my experience with desktop linux is significantly less. [03:31] USB cuts in and out after the system has been up for a while (usually after 3-4 hours, sometimes longer) [03:31] god too many funny symbols i cannot edit the file [03:32] ryan------: check that all your RAM is being recognized by ubuntu. [03:32] ryan------: one of your programs probably has a memory leak [03:32] mouse lag, usb headphone lag, it isn't quite lag, but it cuts in and out. the glx screensaver will be laggy (disabled that a while ago once this started) and unable to ctrl+alt+f1-f5 [03:32] I've checked CPU and RAM, plenty of ram free, full swap free (never touched), cpu is idle [03:32] anybody know of a good javascript program for ubuntu [03:32] @pajamian speaking of Ubuntu recognizing ram, I've got 4gb, but Ubuntu says 3.5. Do you know how to fix this? [03:32] to create javascript? [03:32] yeah [03:32] Install the 64 bit version [03:32] crashsystems, you must be using 32bit OS [03:32] yep [03:33] crashsystems: either switch to the server kernel or change to 64 bit ubuntu. [03:33] crashsystems: 64 - bit [03:33] btw [03:33] how to edit the network file ? [03:33] Mem: 3958 1789 2169 0 37 630 [03:33] mine is recognizing it all.. [03:33] i want to set the rate wireless rate to 54M [03:33] I've had a lot of problems installing stuff (esp flash) in 64bit in the past. Has that gotten any better? [03:33] I think I might revert to just reinstalling my OS [03:33] smack_tat: man iwconfig [03:33] anyone from germany here [03:33] Dexter: no [03:34] ryan------: is that with a -m? [03:34] i have to do that everytime i restart my computer [03:34] ryan------: Past that, it's a lot harder to fix the problem if you can't replacate it with a specific action [03:34] Dexter: if no one responds to you then its a no, there is a german channel [03:34] Hi gang! [03:34] i want to edit the conf files instead [03:34] !hi [03:34] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [03:34] free -m yes [03:34] it doesn't replicate by action, I could be away from the computer, come back and it be like that [03:34] im using amd 64 ahtlon processor and I don't have anyproblems as long as I use add/remove with the gnome of ubuntu [03:34] Looking for the program that lets you select vidio card and monitor. see it some times when xorg.conf is set wrong. any ideas [03:34] which is typically when it happens as I don't camp around the computer much ;) [03:34] crashsystems: I don't know, I would say try the server kernel if that worries you, or live with 3.5 gig [03:35] Well, I guess I get to do yet another reinstall. Does anyone know if the encryption install problem with the alt installer has been fixed? [03:36] crashsystems: you should be able to switch to the server kernel without a reinstall and my understanding is it will make it work with more thatn 3.5 gigs. [03:36] @pajamian True, but if I'm going to do that, I may as well get all my software in 64bit. [03:37] I am thinking about upgrading my memory to 4gigs.....are there any major problems with using the server kernel?? [03:37] crashsystems: it's a 32 bit kernel, it just has a option compiled into it that allows more than 3.5 gigs. [03:37] crashsystems: most of your software will be 64 bit [03:38] I need to change the password on my hard drive anyways === mjponce is now known as kenami [03:39] Looking for the program that lets you select video card and monitor. it starts with xserver in a low res mode. see it some times when xorg.conf is set wrong. any ideas? [03:39] has anyone here used gtkradient before [03:40] I've got a Centrino Duo CPU, so would the "amd64" ISO be right for me? The whole "amd" bit confuses me. [03:40] gnutoit2: dpkg-reconfigure x-server-xorg , perhaps? [03:41] crashsystems, yes, amd64 for x86_64 [03:41] intel or amd [03:41] it will work with either [03:41] I'm on core 2 duo, and I have amd64 [03:41] nope [03:41] x86-64 will work both intel and amd [03:41] can anybody tell me what a good DVD re-authoring program would be that lets me take sections out of the video? [03:41] @ryan------ thanks. you'd think they would pick a file name more generic than that. [03:41] speaking of x86-64 and amd64, why are there two different ones? [03:41] lol I know right [03:41] has anyone used gtkradient [03:42] I was thinking the same thing when I went to grab my iso @ crashsystems [03:42] is there a noticable difference between the 32bit and 64bit versions of ubuntu [03:42] how do i get rid of that annoying sound that plays before you login? [03:42] gdm, kdm, or xdm? [03:42] ozzie212: not that i've noticed...i'm sure as more programs are made for 64-bit processors, you may end up though....but could be a bit [03:42] Sivik: are you talking to me? [03:42] anyone?? [03:42] ASrock: yes [03:42] Sivik: i think GDM [03:43] There should be a setting in the sound settings for it in gnoem [03:43] gnome* [03:43] Sivik: i checked there, i have all the sounds disabled and it still does it [03:43] Is it a song or a beep? [03:43] ASrock: look in 'log in screen', or whatever that menu item is called === Guest14027 is now known as Brucee [03:44] prince_jammys: thats where im at right now...im not seeing any options about it though [03:45] ASrock: (i don't have gnome) - but i've done it before, either in that menu or in 'sound' [03:45] oh, nvm thanks guys it was in the Accessibility options in the Login Window Preferences screen [03:45] cool [03:45] does anyone know where i could find some cool system sounds at? [03:45] other than gnome-look.org? [03:46] ASrock: are you referring to the quick drum beat sound, or the longer ubuntu login sound? [03:46] Thats what I asked him and he never answered pajamian [03:46] i was referring to the quick drum beat sound but i found it now [03:46] ASrock: ok, cool [03:46] i suppose most sound files will do, so the whole internet really, depending on what sound sample you want. [03:47] is it possible to get hardy running on the xbox (original) ? As far as I know the xbox is just an x86 computer, so I can't imagine it would be a problem, but I haven't really seen any specific references to this ability [03:47] I know you can on the ps3 [03:47] Ademan: I imagine you can. [03:47] ASrock: it has to be modded, i believe. [03:47] I have heard of people putting it on xbox so when it boot up the screen says LINUX but that's all I know [03:48] Is it possible to play ps2 games through my linux computer? [03:48] Ubuntu on the 360 would be nice [03:48] Ademan: search the internet for 'modding an xbox'. it's somewhat involved. [03:48] prince_jammys: well, there's a "softmod" technique, that seems to be what most people do [03:48] it's not bad [03:49] the one where you use this Tank game? [03:49] Ya I remember seeing the "Install another OS" option on the ps3 but i wouldnt know about xbox, i try to stay as far as i possibly can from microsoft [03:49] i dunno, there's (for sure) agent under fire, and mechassault [03:49] probably more [03:49] does anybody know of a javascript editor that will help me to create scripts [03:49] Ademan: mechassault, yeah. that's what i meant [03:50] does anyone have a different theme then what came with ubuntu? [03:50] ozzie212: any text editor [03:51] curtis: http://www.gnome-look.org [03:51] prince_jammys: I am not all that faliar with javasrcipt. I was hoping to get one that would help with syntax and debugging [03:51] ozzie212: javascripts are plain text, so you can write one with nano, gedit, vim, kate, emacs.... you name it. [03:51] Ademan: what one do you have? [03:51] ozzie212: kate, vim, emacs, gedit all have syntax highlighting. [03:53] does any one know if there are any other DE beside KDE Gnome and X windows [03:53] anyone have a theme to recomend that they really like? [03:54] mrvirus: fluxbox, enlightenment [03:54] Is there any way to change the ubuntu loading screen w/ the bouncing bar? [03:54] mrvirus: both installable by apt, and both very cool [03:54] apt-get install fluxbox? [03:54] yep [03:54] or can they be done from the synatpic as well [03:54] mrvirus: sure [03:55] mrvirus: apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, adept ... whichever you like [03:55] does anyone know the location of the public key used to sign the md5sums for Ubuntu ISOs? [03:55] i'll have to try fluxbox.. i've heard its pretty good [03:55] mrvirus: Synaptic is just a front end for apt-get [03:55] what is fluxbox? [03:55] curtis : a GUI for linux [03:55] curtis: it's another DE, like Gnome or KDE or XFCE [03:55] similar to KDA or Gnome [03:56] KDE** [03:56] what is the point of it what does it change? [03:56] mrvirus: yes, its pretty cool. you have to spend time to learn to configure it though. it's all done in text files. [03:56] Okay this is a dumb question but how do I change to the root directory in the terminal === tat- is now known as tat [03:56] its like changin the theme in windows or OSX === tat is now known as tat- [03:56] mrvirus: it's a lot more intense than that, it's like changing from Explorer to Blackbox [03:56] not quite ... [03:56] can i just install it and what will it look like> [03:56] ? [03:57] @ozzie212 sudo bash [03:57] gracias [03:57] casao : can it be run without editing [03:57] mrvirus: I'm not sure, I haven't switched from gnome since I'm running Netbook Remix [03:58] mrvirus: yes, but to configure it you have to edit configuration files. [03:58] sorry that was for prince [03:58] installed fluxbox nothing has changed [03:58] curtis: go back to the login screen and change session to fluxbox [03:58] you have to change your session and relogin [03:59] fluxbox.org? [03:59] mrvirus: if you're not into configuration file editing, and the reading of documents, you probably don't want fluxbox [03:59] what bout enlightment [03:59] try also 'enlightenment' [03:59] try it. [04:00] more like gnome or fluxbox [04:00] mrvirus: it's pretty original. it's also lighter, but i think a bit more 'user friendly' as far as configuration goes. [04:00] more like XFCE [04:01] can someone recomend a theme? [04:01] anything other than the big ones (gnome and kde) is more involved to configure [04:01] gotcha [04:02] curtis : recommending a theme is like buyin a toothbrush. [04:02] curtis: right-click on desktop. look in menu->styles. [04:03] well what one do you use? [04:03] do you think, my usb sound and onboard sound interfere? [04:03] curtis: i made my own. [04:03] my compiz.real is taking up all of my processor speed .. how do i fix this problem or reinstall it .. something? [04:03] my mastersound goes automatically down [04:03] what should i do? [04:03] pajamian, you still here? it just happened, haha [04:03] i use a usbsoundcard [04:03] search google for themes for (de) [04:04] yep, still here [04:04] so what did you try so far? [04:04] what should i do? [04:04] how do i put my workspaces on a cube [04:04] do you think it interfere with my onboard sound? [04:04] prince_jammys: private chat? [04:04] ASrock: got compiz fusion installed? [04:04] if you're running gnome then search google for gnome desktop themes [04:05] ASrock: how many workfaces you got?? [04:05] nobody can help me? [04:05] frybye: 4 [04:05] it just happened, about to look now [04:05] ryan------: good luck [04:05] shella [04:05] frybye: no i dont have compiz installed, unless it comes with ubuntu [04:05] ........................... [04:06] ????? [04:06] ASrock: I think it does, though it comes disabled. [04:06] frybye: correction i do have compiz installed [04:06] ASrock: hang on - I am not expert and right now am on a kubuntu machine not ubuntu... see what the others say to this.. [04:06] my mastersound automatically goes down [04:06] someone can help me? [04:06] nothing out of the ordinary on CPU, it's mostly idle [04:06] ASrock: what is your graphics device? [04:07] ryan------: check RAM [04:07] ram is fine, hd activity is null [04:07] ASrock: to answer you I would be going to google myself so..

[04:07] ASrock: should be fine i guess.. [04:07] temps are fine on the system, cpu/gpu/nb [04:07] IndyGunFreak: yes [04:07] why is gcc installed in ubuintu? is this true? [04:08] ubuntu [04:08] can nobody help me? [04:08] ryan------: ok, hrmmmm, I would start restarting services and see if any one of them causes the problem to disappear, then. [04:08] IndyGunFreak: i am taking a back seat - you have it.. [04:08] ASrock: go to system/admin/appearance/desktop effects... and set it to "Extra"... and see if you get an error. [04:08] KidFlash: what do you need help with? [04:08] my mastersound automatically goes down [04:08] has anybody really figured out what this "console-kit-daemon" is, I see a lot of processes from it.. [04:08] i have usb sound [04:09] IndyGunFreak:I did, i have been running on that all day, i just dont know how to activate the cube [04:09] or do i need to use a keycombo? [04:09] i tried to disable onboardsound [04:09] in bios [04:09] but it doesnt work [04:09] ASrock: open a terminal, and run .... sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [04:09] can you upgrade w/ live cd and retain files/packages? [04:10] ryan------: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=556272 [04:10] ryan------: google is your friend ;-) [04:10] curtis, can you help me?P [04:10] On trying to play an AVI movie, the system gives the alert "Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument". Any ideas? [04:10] takes me a sec to get the mouse to be able to click on a link, one sec hah [04:10] KidFlash: private chat [04:10] IndyGunFreak: now what? [04:10] threedee which player totem? [04:11] kittykitty: if I remember right there is a special way to do it - but of course stuff has to go into a dir on the host system then... [04:11] Totem Movie Player 2.22.1 [04:11] kittykitty: yeah [04:11] kittykitty: I don't believe you can. You can install anything you want but once you reboot all that gets whipped out [04:11] sheilin [04:11] phelps epic win [04:11] .............. [04:12] wish it would just upgrade [04:12] ozzie212: I seem to remember reading that there is a way to make it somewhat durable - but they warned that it is no replacement for a real install... [04:12] ASrock: did that install OK? [04:12] how do i configure my tablet with the new xorg.conf? [04:12] squarebracket: that was insane.. [04:12] IndyGunFreak: yes [04:12] ryan------: it appears to have somethign to do with fast user switching, and may be the cause of your problems. From my understanding it can safely be turned off and you probably won't notice the lack of functionality it provides. [04:12] its a wacom tablet [04:12] threedee try xine [04:12] kittykitty: why dont you install as a second os?? [04:12] it is [04:12] ASrock: ok, i'm not familiar w/ configuring compiz, but basically, system/pref/advanced desktop settings, and you'll have to play with it in there a bit. [04:12] i'm sure someone else can help you here. [04:12] frybye: sounds about right, I am definetly no expert. [04:12] kittykitty: or look if there is a newer version of the live- iso [04:13] oh thanks [04:13] IndyGunFreak: the one last night was the craziest. this one was pretty intense, too, though. [04:13] ozzie212: me niether - but often "google" is - heheh === Ardha__ is now known as sheilin [04:13] i have dapper and i broke it trying to aptitude dist-upgrade [04:13] haiiiiiiiiiiiiiii === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [04:13] squarebracket: yes it was... [04:13] does ubuntu heron hardy automatically update [04:13] pajamian, are you on g/k/x ? [04:13] kitty - why you still using dapper and not hardy for eg [04:13] frybye: LOL [04:13] squarebracket: last night was a a heartstopper [04:14] ryan------: gnome, if I understand your question properly. [04:14] kevinO: i think it comes configured, does it not? if not, you just have to uncomment some lines [04:14] cause... everytime i try to upgrade it fubars my system [04:14] every distro i have tried has and ubuntu is no exception [04:14] IndyGunFreak: no kidding. absolutely unbelievable. [04:14] pajamian, yes you are correct. I wonder if gnome uses that same thing, because I'm on KDE [04:14] kittykitty: I take it you are refering to an installed system now.. eh - the live system u are using is dapper - or an installed system or..? [04:15] the installed [04:15] ryan------: I don't know. anyways, it would be worth it to disable that and see if the problem goes away, imo.

[04:20] kevinO: no prob [04:21] kittykitty: don't know about your ip problem, but if you'r ehaving problems w/ the live CD, best thing to do, is use the alternate install CD, and stick w/ 32bit... even if your PC is 64bit capable [04:21] rustychicken: i saved it into my folder [04:21] !alternate | kittykitty [04:21] kittykitty: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD.

[04:23] IndyGunFreak: looks like you dont take pms...

[04:26] i installed fedora 9 and on my ubuntu partion. however, it did not give me the option to boot to ubuntu in boatloader. so i installed another ubuntu os over the fedora and my old ubuntu option is on dev/sda5 [04:26] what should i do?

[04:27] LinuxGhost: that'll you have to go by. the original page where it came from isn't magically saved anywhere, except perhaps a logfile of whatever application you used to save it. [04:27] flannel, i wanted to have fedora 9 and ubuntu [04:27] prince_jammys: text editor, where to locate it? i viewed the source cant find on firefox [04:27] abby: So, a dual boot [04:27] fedora 9 is not what i wanted, too late now. however, i just want things to go back [04:28] flannel, yes [04:28] flannel, however it is set to dev/sda5 [04:28] abby: Just install one, and then install the other on a separate partition. [04:28] LinuxGhost, in Firefox go to File -> Open File [04:28] pajamian, well...thanks for the help on that....probably gonna end up reinstalling it...see if that changes anything... [04:29] flannel, yes, but fedora took over grub and only gave me options to my windows and fedora 9 OS [04:29] ryan------: ok, good luck, though I think that may be a waste of time to be honest. [04:29] it missed ubuntu [04:29] node357: i will try it [04:29] now, i can't access my old ubuntu installtion [04:29] probably. [04:29] abby: Alright, if you reinstall Ubuntu afterwards, it will find any other OSes, and give you the opportunity [04:29] I did change the runlevels, just need to reboot [04:29] ryan------: yep, so you effectively disabled consolekit? [04:30] abby: or you could just add ubuntu to grub [04:30] won't know until it reboots.. [04:30] ryan------: you can turn it off for now ... /etc/init.d/consolekit stop [04:30] it runs under multiple services, which end up killing kdm, which halts the system because of this weird lag issue [04:30] it's not a service.. [04:30] ryan------: ok [04:30] ok 134k/sec now i get to wait more yay [04:31] flannel, what do u say?

When I select xp it goes into yet another boot select with windows on top and ubuntu as the third choice. Is this normal [04:33] LinuxGhost, you can't. Press CTRL+H to view your history and try to find the URL in there [04:33] LinuxGhost: what do you mean?.. [04:33] IndyGunFreak, he wants to be able to visit the URL for a page he saved locally [04:33] abby: Alright, you'll need to use a liveCD to get the name of a few files from your Ubuntu partition, and actually, you might as well just take the text from your menu.lst and use that, since it'll match up [04:34] IndyGunFreak, like, the online URL [04:34] hmm. [04:34] I don't think it's possible [04:34] LinuxGhost: the easiest way i've found to do that.. is to install Opera(download the .deb from opera.com)... [04:34] but checking history might help [04:34] abby: Just stick it in your grub.conf (that's the fedora one) and boot to it. Or tell stage1 to use your grub from Ubuntu, see instructions here: [04:34] !grub | abby, first link [04:34] abby, first link: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[04:52] sexy [04:52] rand: if thats the case... i suspect Ubuntu will recognize it as Atheros 242x.. if it does.. then it should be pretty easy to get installed w/ little effort. Problem is, you need to install build-essential, and I'm not sure how you could do that w/o an internet connection [04:52] IndyGunFreak: actually, the support in here at one time was GREAT, but no surprise the debian folks had to come over and ruin it :/ [04:52] LinuxGhost, look at it and see.. perhaps in the comments.. or perhaps the code/page has a link/url back to the original site.. we cant tell you much more then to LOOK at the page and perhaps its source [04:52] I would have to ask google - cant remember the details but smthing about it being doeable...# [04:52] * vaportrail123 hugs linux [04:53] you're welcome :| [04:53] vaportrail123: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone [04:53] AeronTS: well, i'll be sure to put you on my list.

[04:53] is too bad not get the solution :( :( [04:54] serious question: why is ubuntu so sexy? [04:54] rand: it would require a bit of configuring, but it only takes about 4min....

[04:56] My mtab file is broken in a very weird way. The file doesn't exist, but it shows up when i list files, and I cannot replace it. When I check the permissions/owner of the file it's just question marks. I've googled around and can't find this problem. Any help? [04:56] I am trying to configure cups through its web interface from an ubuntu-server box. I don't see my printer driver listed, although its listed (as a foomatic driver) in the printer configuration gui on ubuntu-desktop. What I really want to do is track down what package ubuntu-desktop has that contains the driver. Any ideas? [04:56] flannel: my main drive is full [04:56] ubuntu_: I suggest moving your /home to the new drive [04:56] alistair: no, it's a printer connected directly to the computer, when i run a test print the printer clearly shows "receiving data", then nothing [04:56] ok [04:56] help me make me happy unless i will die:( === op is now known as Guest71768 [04:57] ubuntu_: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [04:57] ubuntu_: except you won't be shrinking, just moving, etc. [04:57] AeronTS, sorry I am not a Linux guru, but probably Linux has spooler like winxp just check that the spooler cache is cleared and your have the correct printer selected then it should work OK [04:57] IndyGunFreak: thanks for the help [04:57] np [04:57] kk [04:57] if you need help w/ it, let me know.. its pretty easy actually,.

[05:18] LinuxGhost, Ask a question, and be patient [05:18] !ext3 | rand0m- [05:18] rand0m-: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [05:18] rand0m: i belive that is easier said than done.. [05:18] My X Server is stuck in low graphics mode. Restricted driver manager fails to load. Envy does not complete successfully. I added a line to xorg.conf. [05:18] This line caused the crash [05:18] frank392: i don't know, but googling 'ubuntu gdmsetup segmentation fault' returns quite a few hits from the forums. [05:19] Anyone know of a good usenet client for ubuntu? [05:19] I restored the original xorg.conf, and it does not work, and is replaced with the vesa driver. [05:19] IndyGunFreak, odd how it's so easy to access window partitions from linux, but not the other way around [05:19] IndyGunFreak: it says Xchat [05:19] quentusrex, i used 'pan' for a long time ages ago [05:19] bobertdos, where can I see whether they are enabled??? [05:19] AeronTS, lets go through printer settings please go to System/Admin/printing [05:19] CostaRicanQuaker: Help/About.. does it say xchat, or xchat-gnome [05:19] I'm just sick of all my browsers crashing in ubuntu - i thought this was supposed to be stable [05:19] IndyGunFreak: xchat [05:19] rand0m-, the crashing browsers i see are due to flash. [05:19] Please help me restore my nvidia graphics driver I have tried everything and I'll be so mad if I have to reinstall the whole OS [05:19] I have customized it for hours.

[05:20] anya: System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual effects. I would suggest disabling them (selecting none), especially if they're set to extra. [05:20] thanks Dr_willis, but I'm looking for something a little newer... Is there an ubuntu supported usenet client? [05:20] AeronTS, assume you can click on your printer there and on right pane it is default printer [05:20] @ prince_jammys Thank you I have posted my problem in the forum [05:20] Bodsda: i want to view the URL /adress of saved webpages? [05:20] CostaRicanQuaker: when you add the channels, you want to add them like this... #ubuntu,#ubuntu-offtopic,#some-other-channel (note the commas, and no spaces) [05:20] linuxfce: have you tried sudo nvidia-xconfig ? [05:20] rand0m-: it's easy to access windows partitions from Linux, not the other way around, because Microsoft sells the filesystem dev kit [05:20] Dr_willis, yessir, it didn't seem to happen for the first few weeks I was running ubuntu - now suddenly it's like every second video i go to watch just closes my browser [05:20] linuxfce: did you say you now what line in xorg.conf is causing the problem? [05:20] qr no I will try that no thank you. [05:20] LinuxGhost: How did you save them? [05:20] frank392: there's quite a lot of them [05:20] LinuxGhost, Seriously, stop repeating yourself, ask the channel then sit patiently. Please do not repeat yourself quickly llike that [05:21] AeronTS, also, does make and model confirm with the make and model of your printer? [05:21] minimax_: That's not why its easy at all. [05:21] quentusrex, if its in the repos i guess its 'supported' search the package manager and see whats there.. just because somthing has been around for a long time dosent mean its bad or 'old' :) [05:21] Flannel: why, then? [05:21] tarwatirno it was a dword value to adjust powermizer. I restored the original xorg.conf and it doesnt help. [05:21] frank392: maybe including some of the text of your error message in the google search can give you the most relevant forum page. [05:21] rand0m- install this via synaptic libflashsupport it solved the problem for me to a certain level [05:21] brb [05:21] ah [05:21] minimax_: because a lot of people worked for a long time to figure out NTFS and how it works.

[05:22] LinuxGhost: That means nothing to me. What program did you use? What are you saying as a webpage? [05:22] dorito, already have it installed [05:22] quentusrex, package manager... search.. explore.. i guess. :) [05:22] Flannel: that's why it's easy to access NTFS. did anyone have to reverse engineer ext2? [05:22] what is driver for SIS Mirage 3 ? [05:23] minimax_: No one has to reverse engineer ext3, its all open for people to see. [05:23] Flannel: mozilla firefox> file> save as> webpage complete [05:23] LinuxGhost, if you saved it recently. then firefox has a history feature you may want to look into. [05:23] anya: Okay.......Well, I'm debating as to whether or not this could be an X problem. Are you on KDE or Gnome? [05:23] I find epiphany more stable than firefox flash wise [05:23] Flannel: exactly, it should be trivial to reimplement it on Windows... [05:24] bobertdos, Gnome [05:24] LinuxGhost: No, there's no way to directly figure it out. You'd have to view the website and try and figure it out [05:24] Hi - After install of Hardy Heron and about 10 apps. - How much hard drive space would this take up ? ? ? Aprox. 3 or 4GB's ? ? ?

The kernel was taught, it can retain that knowledge from previous kernels, you do not need to teach it every time, but it was taught at some point [05:27] ozzie212: you must not have run into the right set of ''power users'' [05:27] must not WOW [05:27] Flannel: Thanks - I think with a few extra apps should be around 3.5GB or so - cool - Partitioning an 80GB HD that has windows - need to be and do a dual boot for awhile - then move over to Hardy totally - Thanks for info!

[05:33] Flannel: I just did this as adviced by Ordos a couple hours earlier: http://izanbardprince.wordpress.com/2008/07/06/securing-your-ubuntu-box-dont-worry-its-easy/ [05:33] flannel,ubottu>i have installed gsynaptics and have set it up to full, but it still feels like i need to bang on my touchpad for clicking [05:33] it worked! thanks qr, it seems your suggestion to run nvidia-xconfig caused envy to complete successfully [05:34] Flannel: yes [05:34] linuxfce: cool, cheers. [05:34] frybye: We do prefer people stay in the channel, but if you feel you have to, okay. [05:34] help: klipper - installed but is nowhere to be found under applications. anyone know? [05:35] CostaRicanQuaker: that page doesn't work. [05:35] flannel, ubottu>> i was wondering if there was any other way that could improve my tap sensitivity??? [05:35] alistair: which klipper? [05:35] http://izanbardprince.wordpress.com/2008/07/06/securing-your-ubuntu-box-dont-worry-its-easy/ [05:35] Flannel: now? [05:35] Rat409, clipboard utility for KDE 4 [05:36] alistair: its a command [05:36] prince_jammys, well thats very helpful to know when trying to create bootable usb devices [05:36] which or find.likely /usr/bin [05:36] Flannel: here's what i did, installed apparmor, then enforced it then enabled ufw [05:36] has anyone gotten tv-out to work? can you see your computer screen at the same time? [05:36] why is gcc and python installed by default on ubuntu? [05:36] alistair: klipper is normally at /usr/bin/klipper [05:37] CostaRicanQuaker: Er.. ok. What problem are you having, to begin with. [05:37] hey can anyone helpl I need help installing UBUNTU BERYL [05:37] bryceismad1: What version of Ubuntu are you installing? [05:37] I have intalled the most current one 8.04 I think [05:37] Flannel: i was just asking for a second opinion to see if it was wise or unwise to have set up the firewall [05:38] bryceismad1: Then you have compiz-fusion already [05:38] CostaRicanQuaker: you already have a firewall, Linuxes all start with firewalls built in. [05:38] bryceismad1: beryl is dead, it merged with compiz to create compiz-fusion [05:39] yeah but what i mean is that when I go to system then prefrence then aperance and effects it wont let me go past minimal [05:39] ok, anyone knows how to install .emerald theme files in ubuntu 8.04? or for what program do those files work? [05:39] I need help with that [05:39] when i installed ubuntu i selected theuse entire disk option when formatting, is there a way i can partition part of the unused space without deleting any of ubuntu or my settings? [05:39] i'm running alsamixer; and i cant figure out how i can totally mute all audio channels (i tried pcm + master but i can still hear audio).. using soundblaster live value [05:39] CostaRicanQuaker: yes [05:39] can you help me with that flannel [05:40] CostaRicanQuaker: you can resize partitions and so on using gparted [05:40] Is there any other way to attempt to overclock my video card besides nvclock, coolbits, and manually setting the clocks in terminal? [05:40] CostaRicanQuaker: yeah. gparted will resize partitions without destroying them [05:40] !nvidia | bryceismad1 [05:40] bryceismad1: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [05:40] !gparted | CostaRicanQuaker [05:40] CostaRicanQuaker: gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [05:40] CostaRicanQuaker: but you'll probably need to use a Gparted or Partedmagic Live CD.. because to resize it, the partition wil have to be unmounted [05:40] I have tried all of those and they do not work. They return successful but do not make change. [05:40] prince_jammys, there is no clipper program there [05:40] CostaRicanQuaker: you probably want the live CD. [05:40] what is this error? [05:40] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [05:40] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [05:41] prince_jammys: do i have to use a livecd? [05:41] prince_jammys: not jsut a want.. if its his only OS on that system, he'll have to. [05:41] prince_jammys, but its installed OK [05:41] CostaRicanQuaker: see what IndyGunFreak said. [05:41] Sonja, run dpkg --configure -a in a terminal, you might need sudo [05:41] thanks I will take alook at that [05:41] Sonja: I can't help but ask... have you tried running dpkg --configure -a? [05:41] CostaRicanQuaker: if you're resizing your Ubuntu partition, yes, you will have to use a gparted live CD.. because you can't resize a mounted partition, and obviously if the partition isn't mounted, you can't load the OS [05:41] ok, i think i have an old cd with gparted on it, is there something i should check on the cd? [05:41] Bodsda Lunis ok i'll try that, one sec [05:42] i need help on nvidia 6200 [05:42] CostaRicanQuaker: if you used a Live CD to install ubuntu.. it should have Gparted on it(System/admin/Partition Editor) [05:42] yes, but i can't use that in this case right? [05:42] macv1: install the .emerald files using the emerald theme manager [05:42] !nvidia | thedarkone [05:42] CostaRicanQuaker: yes.. [05:42] thedarkone: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [05:42] Sonja, If you read the error message, it tells you exactly what to do [05:42] i can't use the gparted installed in ubuntu to partition the partition that's mounted [05:42] right? [05:42] yes [05:43] i think i'm out of space in my boot partition [05:43] alistair: well, it looks like you don't have 'klipper' installed [05:43] how do i clean up my boot partition? [05:43] i need help with hdtv part in xorg [05:43] Sonja: remove the old linux-image-[blah] files [05:43] CostaRicanQuaker: correct, but youc an use Gparted on the Live CD, or you can download and burn a Gparted Live CD.. and use them. [05:43] Sonja: er, packages. [05:43] i have to type soemthing in terminal, Flannel? [05:43] Sonja: Its usually wise to leave one old, known good kernel [05:43] Anyone have an idea why Enemy Territory: Quake wars is unexpectedly windowing and rendering my computer unresponive until I restart X server? === jennifer is now known as Jennifer__ [05:43] I need to disable powermizer in order to get decent compiz fusion affects. Anyone know how to do this? [05:43] prince_jammys, Ill remove then try again [05:43] Sonja: no, use your favorite package maneger [05:43] i think i already have a cd somewherew with gparted on it, what do i have to check on this cd to make sure it won't screw anything up? [05:43] is there any good reason for nautilus to be crashing whenever i try to move files? [05:43] Sonja: manager, like Synaptic [05:43] alistair: what happens when you type 'klipper' in a terminal? [05:44] Anyone have an idea why Enemy Territory: Quake wars is unexpectedly windowing and rendering my computer unresponive until I restart X server? [05:44] alistair: check for an icon in your panel. [05:44] prince_jammys, sec - ive just removed it will reinstall then try again and there was no icon anywhere. [05:45] brb === VIc is now known as Guest72618 [05:45] i'm seeing this for eclipse: The custom VM you have chosen is not a valid executable. .. (ubuntu hardy) ... how do i fix? [05:45] nautilus crashed while i was trying to copy files from my hard drive to a usb disk, and now it absolutely refuses to launch - i have no desktop management, no file manager, nothing. [05:45] Bodsda Lunis i get an error when typing that command: http://pastebin.com/m423e0104 [05:46] prince_jammys, got this under terminal: The program 'klipper' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [05:46] sudo apt-get install klipper [05:46] lunis> how do i get emerald theme manager? do i have to download it outside of the built in repository? [05:46] is there a way to work out why after the upgrade from 7 to 8 my keypad no longer works, xev shows the stuff coming through fine it just doesnt get handled in applications for some reason? [05:46] prince_jammys, very odd it appeared to install fine. [05:46] Sonja, you have no space left on your disk [05:47] how do i create more room on the boot partition? (is that the partition there's no space left on?) [05:47] is there a way to leave a message on a computer i'm currently sshed into? [05:47] can i upgrade a single package without upgrading the entire distribution version? like, if i want a package from 'intrepid' but i want to stay with hardy.. [05:47] Flannel said i have to type "synaptic" ? [05:47] like when you "lock" your current session [05:47] !prevu | igor47 [05:47] igor47: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details [05:47] alistair: there's another package called klipper-kde4. maybe you installed that instead, by accident. [05:47] or i have to allot more space to the boot partition? [05:48] macv1: emerald-theme-manager is installed with the emerald package from builtin repos [05:48] Sonja: 'df -h' and see how much space is left [05:48] um...i just stuck in an old cd when i went to the file manager and to the media and opened the cd drive it showed no content but i know there's content in it [05:48] Ubuntwo: just what i wanted, thanks :) [05:48] My module tp_smapi does not load automatically when starting my Ubuntu 8.04.1 computer. When up the command 'modprobe tp_smapi' will load it. How to automatically load tp_smapi automatically at boot time?

[05:49] bullgard4: add to /etc/modules [05:49] macv1: np. you can right-click on a package from synaptic and select properties, then go to the installed files tab, and look for /usr/bin to see what binaries are installed with a package [05:50] bullgard4: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_8.04_%28Hardy_Heron%29_on_a_ThinkPad_T60#Post-Installation_Setup [05:50] Is it possible to theme gnome-screensaver's lock screen, just like it is possible to theme GDM's login screen? Or is there another screen-locking program which can be themed? [05:50] how big should my boot partition be? [05:50] Sonja: thats huge for a boot partition [05:50] why is it full, i wonder? [05:50] Sonja: do ls /boot/ into pastebin [05:51] anyone know how I would be able to create a VPN in ubuntu? [05:51] Anyone have an idea why Enemy Territory: Quake wars is unexpectedly windowing and rendering my computer unresponive until I restart X server (Well, only way I've found a rememdy for it is to do that) [05:51] I'm thinking it might be a hotkey, but it seems to do it at random times. It's not a certain part of the game either, as it does this just, randomly. [05:51] xzcvczxx: ubuntu /boot's can get big if you keep a lot of old kernels around, which most people don't bother getting rid of. [05:51] xzcvczxx http://pastebin.com/m6c5ab7d4 [05:51] qr: hence why i am checking that [05:51] Flannel: ok i found the gparted live cd i had, now what is the next step? [05:52] hi, I'm trying to create a vpn using nm-applet but the ubuntu wiki stops giving instructions at the hard part... how do you do it? [05:52] what do i have to check before i boot from the cd? [05:52] ok Im back [05:52] xzcvczxx: I see, carry on then. [05:52] CostaRicanQuaker: boot it, and use it to partition the drive.. [05:52] like, what is meant by "gateway address"?, etc [05:52] lunis >ok, i'm new to ubuntu, so was only looking at the add/ remove menu /. this is what the list shows [05:52] /usr [05:52] /usr/share [05:52] /usr/share/doc [05:52] /usr/share/doc/compiz [05:52] /usr/share/doc/compiz/copyright [05:52] macv1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:52] prince_jammys, that did it the cmd line instantiation - but it does still not show up as a program in Applications [05:53] xzcvczxx: /etc/modules does not exist. [05:53] oops! [05:53] xzcvczxx maybe i have to delete some of those files? [05:53] macv1: whoops. if you scroll to the bottom, you'll see the bins [05:53] prince_jammys, how do you get any program to auto-start at startup like winxp you drop it into the startup folder? [05:53] Sonja: do uname -a and see what kernel version you are running [05:54] macv1: the one in question of course being /usr/bin/emerald-theme-manager [05:54] qr: whats the correct way in ubuntu to go about removing kernels? [05:54] xzcvczxx Linux sonja 2.6.24-17-generic #1 SMP Thu May 1 14:31:33 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [05:54] Output NFO information for each album directory. [05:54] xzcvczxx: removing the kernel package [05:54] someone can tell me what this mean ? [05:55] xzcvczxx maybe my boot partition is not deleting old kernels? [05:55] alistair: /etc/init.d/ put it in there [05:55] and run update-rc on it [05:55] Sonja: its not really designed to iirc [05:55] ok just now installed emerald..... /usr/bin is present [05:55] Sonja: you will need to go into synaptic and remove your old kernels [05:55] xzcvczxx so the user has to know how to clean it up once in a while.... or have a huge boot partition and not worry about it [05:55] although make sure you do not remove the one that you are currently using [05:55] porncake, tks [05:55] i can't open synaptic [05:56] it says I have to : [05:56] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [05:56] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [05:56] alistair: are you running kde? [05:56] but then when i try that command, it says i don't have enough space on /boot [05:56] okay, looks like it's an nfs problem perhaps [05:57] maybe i should allot more space to the boot partition or something [05:57] but i still have no nautilus without a complete reboot [05:57] Sonja: this may be brutal but find the oldest kernel version in /boot and just rm the kernel-* file for it [05:57] prince_jammys, no the KDE version did not appear I did what you suggested on the cmd line and it now works, but add/remove does not show it up [05:57] xzcvczxx ok i'll try that [05:57] Sonja: actually better idea [05:57] oh? [05:57] mv it to somewhere thats not the /boot partition [05:57] ok [05:57] like just /root or something [05:57] hi, how can i send a msg to a person. for example, if i want to send a message to Sonja [05:57] what is normal voltage for desktop? [05:58] the red button? [05:58] smithveg you type /msg sonja bla bla [05:58] alistair: i'm not sure what you mean. klipper is a kde program. is your desktop gnome or kde, or something else? [05:58] but it's considered proper etiquette to ask in the channel first, for permission to private message [05:58] prince_jammys, Im a nobie, is the Ubuntu Heron desktop not KDE? [05:59] lunis> ok that usr /bin/emereald theme manager is there...another compiz question... how to activate the desktop cube.... event though i have checked it doesnt work? only the viewpoint switcher works [05:59] alistair, no, it's gnome, and i'm about this close to switching to kde until gnome has a decent filemanager. [05:59] ok.. thank [06:00] alistair: you probably have gnome. kde is Kubuntu. in a terminal, you can do: echo "$DESKTOP_SESSION" [06:00] Ok fannel are you on still [06:00] jennifer__: yes, great idea. /yawn [06:00] xzcvczxx so i would type something like move /boot/kernel-* in terminal? [06:00] because right now nautilus is a zombie process that *will not die* [06:00] prince_jammys: ok i have a gparted livecd, now what do i have to do? remember i don't want to lose any of my settings or ubuntu,however i know there's a single partition, someone told me i shouldn't make it bootable and not put it at the end of the drive, how do i choose to do that and this won't kill grub will it? [06:01] xzcvczxx http://paste.ubuntu.com/38120/ that's the list of files in /boot/ [06:01] CostaRicanQuaker: if all you want to do is resize, gparted is pretty intuitive. you can drag stuff around with the mouse. [06:01] ok I got the graphics right but how do I get ubuntu to do like the 3d workspace cube and stuff like that [06:01] :) [06:01] macv1: that has to do with disabling the gnome compositing stuff, which i haven't entirely figured out yet [06:01] can any one help me with that [06:01] smithveg i'm a n00b at linux, but i'm a veteran at irc [06:01] Lunis, well thank you for your enthusiasm. do you have any ideas? [06:01] prince_jammys: i want to create a second partition with nothing on it so i can install a different distro [06:01] without erasing any of my ubuntu info [06:01] prince_jammys, OH, dammed thing just shows 'default' [06:01] sonja, i'm new to linux, i've been stop for linux a year ago [06:01] CostaRicanQuaker: you can then click on the newly available space and format it to whatever you want. [06:02] almost forgot all the command [06:02] jennifer__: kill -9? [06:02] can anyone help me [06:02] did nothing, unforunately [06:02] jennifer__: drop runlevels? restart X? restart computer? that's what I would do. not pretty, but effective :P [06:03] jennifer__: though my sarcasm was based on not seeing the clarifying statement of nautilus zombieing [06:03] prince_jammys, but anyway, its asking for trouble putting a non-compabile program in the list of add/removes when you get Noobies like me using it [06:03] jennifer__: try restarting x [06:03] Sonja: no, just do mv kernel-(earliest version there) /root/ [06:03] this happens any time i'm copying something over nfs, restarting X doesn't work, as nautilus doesn't come back up, restarting the PC does help, but only until i copy a couple more files, then it happens again [06:03] alistair: it IS compatible [06:03] Sonja: you will need a sudo in front of it [06:03] brb [06:04] ok i'll type "sudo mv kernel-(earliest version there) /root/" without quotation marks? [06:04] prince_jammys, why would it not work then - I had to instatiate as you said [06:04] ok i'll type "sudo mv kernel-(earliest version there) /root/" without quotation marks? [06:04] alistair: i was asking if you have kde for a different reason. you were asking how to have a program be autostarted. [06:04] oops twice [06:04] correct, [06:04] bash: syntax error near unexpected token `(' [06:04] i guess i need the exact number [06:05] indeed [06:05] hello, i have a question, anyone can tell me where is the localhost directory in ubuntu [06:05] prince_jammys, never mind, all I know is that when I tried to install using add/remove it showed as installed but Klipper was not in the bin dir untill I installed using terminal method you suggested [06:05] abi-2.6.22-14-generic ? [06:05] jennifer__: logs give any clue as to the problem?

[06:05] !ask | smithveg [06:05] smithveg: 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. :-) [06:06] Lunis, nope, and it's looking like it just might be a hang - it just came back up [06:06] apparently it got tired of being a zombie and died. finally. [06:06] ubottu, understand. [06:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about understand. [06:06] Can any one help me with the beryl in my ubuntu [06:06] Flannel: Thank you very much for your help. [06:06] lunis > any idea where i could read more about that stuff u said? or should i just google? [06:06] !ask | smithveg [06:06] smithveg, please see my private message [06:06] prince_jammys, yes, but I'm spoilt with WinXP Arsclip which is a superb free program. Is Glipper better than Klipper do ya know? [06:07] macv1: probably google it, i don't know of any specific links right off [06:07] alistair: sorry, don't know. check it out. there's others, too. search in apt. [06:07] jennifer__: might try some of the other various file managers out there... gnome commander, pcmanfm, etc [06:07] ok thanks lunis [06:07] prince_jammys, also, in case I want to remove klipper I use the same terminal command 'sudo apt-get install klipper' but change install to uninstall??? [06:08] prince_jammys: it said i installed gparted, now how do i open it? i'm on xfce and can't find it in the list of programs [06:08] woo, i love it when i do rm -rf on a symlink and don't realize it! [06:08] i'm fond of thunar (this is actually my fiancee's pc, i'm trying to get her to switch to xfce, but nooo) [06:08] Has anyone given Ext readers for Windows a whirl? How are they in terms of stability and performance? [06:08] alistair: change 'install' to 'remove' or 'purge' [06:08] who should i ask, if i have problem to ubuntu apache? [06:08] prince_jammys, Okey dokey thanks vm you have been a great help [06:08] smithveg, just ask the question, and if someone has an answer, they will answer [06:08] how do I find out which drive I installed ubuntu on [06:09] CostaRicanQuaker: use the Live CD, not the package you installed. [06:09] Lunis, i appreciate your help, and i apologize for being a smart***, it's just really frustrating [06:09] CostaRicanQuaker: you need to boot your computer with the gparted live cd [06:09] Where is the localhost location, in the ubuntu system files directory? [06:09] smithveg, usually /var/www [06:09] jennifer__: hey, I'm guilty too :) my apologies as well. i just hope you have luck figuring out the issue [06:10] thank you [06:10] same here... [06:10] g'night [06:10] ozzie212, 'sudo fdisk -l' and see where the ext3 filesystem is.. or 'mount' and see where / is mounted to.

[06:15] pffffft [06:15] ubuntu [06:16] what good does it do me [06:16] prince_jammys, btw do you use this version of klipper? If so any idea of how to get it to immediately paste selected item into default area? EG currently you have to select item, the Ctrl-v to paste it [06:16] ubuntu needs to learn from microsoft and GET DOCUMENTATION LAZY BUMS [06:16] alistair: beats me. i don't use any clipboard utils [06:17] prince_jammys, OK tks. [06:17] ubuntu needs to fix all the tiny annoying glitches [06:17] rught there [06:17] " i dont use and clipboard utils' [06:17] case it sucks [06:17] my desktop looks gorgeous but nothing works properly [06:17] charsets: ubuntu has an humongous amount of documentation. windows can't even touch *nix docs.

[06:17] cause* [06:17] someone can tell me what this mean ? [06:17] output nfo information [06:17] with eyed3 [06:18] is there anyway to rebuild the /dev directory? [06:18] oakgrove, reboot? [06:18] or... [06:18] Adrian, ok [06:18] MAKEDEV? [06:18] Dr_willis, I typed that and got the results but I don't understand the result. Could you help [06:18] if I reboot, my computer won't come back up. i deleted almost my entire dev directory [06:18] dazed : i'm have no problem runnign ubuntu. ubuntu is for those that want to learn more.. for those that dont have the time or patiences to learn bout linux and its many distro's... go buy windows and shut up [06:18] look at this mnkey shit [06:19] pfft [06:19] charsets, please behave [06:19] i like learning [06:19] Dazed; with Ubuntu I just add a usb bluetooth device and it works. I just add any wifi card (I have three different) and they all work. I just define a network printer through wifi and it works. None of these events work with Winxp so well. [06:19] ubuntu is hard to use [06:19] look at how many problems yall have [06:19] i dont like my computer failing to boot because i didnt select asla manually in amarok [06:19] ubuntu is not for the beginner or even novice pc user [06:19] oakgrove, generally /dev is regenerated each boot i believe, [06:19] aaah, a mibbit user [06:19] oakgrove, if you want you could try opening a terminal, cd to /dev, then do sudo MAKEDEV generic [06:19] oakgrove, that might do it. [06:20] I have a 101.1 g partition on my drive that I THOUGHT I installed ubuntu onto but now I don't think so and I am not sure where ubuntu is [06:20] elkbuntu: excellent decision. [06:20] looks like charsets banned himself; I love when they do that! [06:20] it's telling me makedev command not found and when i tried to install it, it said it was already installed === smatt454 is now known as smatt454|awk [06:20] alistair: i found this tutorial which got me going. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=590793&highlight=MFC-7220 === smatt454|awk is now known as smatt454|afk [06:20] sounds like a completely bug free experience [06:20] it "just works" :D [06:21] Guys dont knock Ubuntu - Ive been using PC for 20 years and only last week tried Ubuntu. If anything falls off in Winxp you have a major battle. If anything falls off in Ubuntu you have heaps of guys who are happy to help (as long as you are polite ;-) [06:21] ubuntu is cool [06:21] but like... [06:21] it would be best used to dl windows [06:21] if you havent burned it yet [06:21] tbh [06:22] can anyone help me find where I actually installed ubuntu to. I have the results in a session but don't know how to decipher the results [06:22] AeronTS, good stuff, I knew youd get there in the end. The learning curve is a bit higher but the stuff just works so well on Ubuntu [06:22] oakgrove, the command is in upercase MAKEDEV [06:22] upper* [06:22] Dazed, are you so full of ideas you can't contain them in a single message, but must spread them out over 4 or 5? [06:22] Yes. [06:22] guys don't feed the trolls. [06:22] Clearly. [06:22] <_hase> I just did a clean reinstall and I still don't have sound, and I have alsa and alsa-utils installed, Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H , I'm sorry for repeating myself but the troubleshooting isn't helping me [06:23] oh, thanks, i just tried that and it says udev active, devices will be created in /dev/.static/dev/ [06:23] maybe it's working. [06:23] elkbuntu: yes!! i like you. [06:23] oakgrove, i really think you can just reboot [06:23] jscinoz, ok thanks for the heads up [06:23] oakgrove, and /dev will be made automatically [06:23] oakgrove, its not a real directory on your filesystem [06:23] oakgrove, its like /proc i think [06:23] from the command line; how do i test what ip address all requests from this box will originate from? [06:23] i'll give it a shot. thanks jscinoz [06:23] elk is kickin butt and taken name.................out [06:23] elkbuntu: you should hang out here more often. [06:23] i was hoping that was the case [06:23] oakgrove, :) [06:24] carry on, dont give them the attention [06:24] _hase : si that an onboard card? [06:24] what's the paste link that I can post stuff to so others can look at the results without flooding here [06:24] wa... why the eclipse take long hour to install [06:24] why isn't my display driver used when in "tty" mode?

[06:25] links to differnt help docs [06:26] AeronTS, Did not know you had a Brother I used to have one of those but in Winxp it was a dog there. I still have a thermal fax machine which is a brother reliable, but windows software sucks [06:26] !paste | smithveg [06:26] smithveg, please see my private message [06:27] here goes nothing [06:27] prince_jammys, u still here? [06:27] alistair: i am [06:27] alistair: i really don't care for windows, myself, i just think that we ought to be able to use *all* features that come with printers, on linux. i swear, if manufacturers would wake up they'd realize there is money to be made by selling hardware made only for linux :) [06:28] ok I need some help fast I accedently exited out of my user baer how can I get it up [06:28] I think i am having this problem. http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/baslinux/2004-June/004375.html Basically, i shut off my computer manually because it slowed down to the point where nothing was happened. I am now running fsck and i just keep getting error reading blocks. i keep pressing enter and i have been doing it for a while not, i want to know if i will get a result. I dont understand from the article if anythi [06:28] AeronTS, totally agreed - its amazingly good software for those who want something like Apple, but dont want to change their PC imho. [06:28] what happened to webmin ? did anything replace it ? [06:28] alistair can you help me [06:29] prince_jammys, you mentioned a new file manager I would like to change too can you suggest a better one than Nautilus? I like to be able to do stuff like drop to terminal from current directory and stuff like that [06:29] *wonders if suse and redhat will ever go away* [06:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/38130/ Can anyone tell where I actually installed ubuntu to and where my 101g partition is [06:29] which mean, i can post a long question in paste.ubuntu.com then i submit the url in the ubuntu channel? [06:29] see above [06:29] bryceismad1, hope so, but I am a noobie to Linux [06:29] alistair: it wasn't me. you might want to check out kde instead of gnome. [06:30] <_InfecteD_> | † |zaz| † | [06:30] <_InfecteD_> | † |zaz| † | [06:30] <_InfecteD_> | † |zaz| † | [06:30] _InfecteD_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:30] prince_jammys, but if I change from gnome to kde its not Ubuntu anymore right? [06:30] alistair, no [06:31] alistair: you can have both. sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [06:31] who knows how to get the taskbar on ubuntu back up I accedently exited it out [06:31] alistair: then from your login screen, you change the session to kde and try that. you don't have to uninstall anything. [06:31] join #ubuntu-us-ut [06:31] lol [06:31] oops [06:32] thenetduck: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:32] alistair: it sounds like you like a lot of fancy features, and kde is generally good for that. [06:32] jscinoz awesome, thanks. rebooted with no problems and /dev is repopulated. learn something new every day [06:32] why isn't my display driver used when in "tty" mode? [06:32] .join #ubuntu-us-ut [06:32] prince_jammys, when changed to kde does that mean I have a virgin desktop or will it have old stuff there still? [06:32] * rustychicken temporarily hates periods [06:33] prince_jammys, eg all the installed programs remain or do I have to revert back to Gnome? [06:33] alistair- it'll have all the other stuff. [06:33] alistair: everything will be there. you'll just have to mess with the settings to get everything the way you like. your menus will have many new applications in them, so you may want to clean them up. [06:33] evilbug: because your display driver is for X and the VTs are outside of it? [06:33] alistair: no, you can run gnome progs from kde and vice-versa. [06:34] crdlb- is there any way to get a better resolution in console? [06:34] alistair: in other words, you can't really break anything. only the menu will be cluttered, which you can fix. [06:34] prince_jammys, Let me get this right; currently I have a whole bunch of stuff I have installed. Say I change to KDE will all those programs still be there under applications without any more ado? [06:34] alistair: exactly. [06:34] from the command line; how do i test what ip address all requests from this box will originate from? [06:35] evilbug: modesetting is being moved into the kernel, which will fix that, but for now, I have no idea [06:35] prince_jammys, bloody hell, excuse the French but this Linux just keeps getting better! [06:35] crdlb- any clue how soon? [06:35] alistair: *nix kicks ass. [06:35] still hoping for some help here I need to restart my system tray [06:35] hello [06:35] alistair: it's all modular [06:35] prince_jammys, and no registry to make things go poo [06:36] prince_jammys, Seems sort of like OS2 or am I wrong? [06:37] alistair: i've never used OS2. but OSX and current mac stuff is Unix-like. linux is much closer to that than to the windows way. [06:37] hmm doing my first ubuntu install, went through the entire install, now after the reboot it says it cannot mount selected partition. [06:37] evilbug, specify vga=MODE on your kernel line in grub [06:37] you can use sudo hwinfo --framebuffer to see available modes [06:38] i'm having difficulties with a Belkin's wifi card. I have it working, but it doesn't want to connect [06:38] i think the distro's like Ubuntu and Fedora are the closest tied between the 2 OS's [06:38] prince_jammys, pse correct me if Im wrong say I shift desktop and want to revert back would the cmd be: sudo apt-get REMOVE kubuntu-desktop [06:38] I need some help restarting the systems tray please help [06:38] prince_jammys, or should I tell it to INSTALL ? [06:39] prince_jammys, install ubuntu-desktop [06:39] jscinoz- X_X says "hwinfo" isn't there. [06:39] alistair: once you've installed kde, you can use it by logging in to kde from the login screen. only use apt-get remove if you really want to uninstall it [06:39] jscinoz- "command not found" [06:39] alistair: you don't have to uninstall it to go back to gnome. you can just switch to gnome in the login screen, and leave kde installed. [06:40] alistair- just click on Sessions in the Login and select Gnome. [06:40] alistair: in other words, you can have as many desktop managers in your system as you have space for. [06:40] is anyone here have much experince with the Belkin hardware? [06:40] never found it out on my own thanx for the help not really though [06:40] prince_jammys, OK sounds absolutely spiffing [06:41] how does one access a serial port in Ubuntu - /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyS2 appear in dmesg yet do not work in minicom [06:41] patti, it's not very well supported in the wifi department, your best bet is to go the ndiswrapper route [06:41] alistair: when you do 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' , you'll see that it will install a whole bunch of stuff. this is normal. [06:41] gr0b, i got ndis working and i got lights flashing... but i can't get it to actually connect [06:42] prince_jammys, time for dinner here - appreciate your time and eduction. Hope to catch up again sometime. [06:42] alguma coisa [06:42] gr0b: it sees the networks, and tries to connect (87% strength) but that's as far as it gets [06:43] patti, do you have it set to roaming mode or are you doing this manually? [06:43] alistair: enjoy [06:43] you have the wrapper if you need it? [06:43] i tried roam first [06:43] just give it a second some times takes a while to find [06:44] gr0b: i tried to do a manual set up... but i havent had much luck fighting with that either :p [06:44] patti, can you state the problem? i just got here ;) [06:45] Help, how to add a second interface to my bridge? i want to setup another virtual machine [06:45] hi how can i turn my computer to teeworlds-server [06:46] kaiwen: i have a belkins wifi card. i got ndiswrapper and ndisgtk set up. i have light on the card blinking and can see networks - but i cant get it to connect for the life of me. running like 87% signal strength [06:46] I cant boot my laptop anymore.. it just dies after it logged in [06:46] teeworlds-srv program doesn't run how i fix it [06:46] patti, do you have a wireless key? [06:46] yes [06:47] there we go [06:47] patti, is it on private or open [06:47] kaiwen: it IS running wpa personal [06:47] is there a risk being in hibernate too long and breaking X? [06:47] no [06:47] can any one help me ? [06:47] kaiwen: this box is ubuntu as well, and i'm having NO problems [06:47] how can I kill everything and reboot the whole box? since I cant go back to my previous session [06:48] patti, is it not set on open? [06:48] (laptop) [06:48] patti, what is the network port? [06:48] kaiwen: what do you mean? [06:48] patti eth0 or eth1 [06:48] hola [06:48] patti if you are unsatisfied with ubuntu goto redhat everythings fool proof and very compatible [06:49] o8scura: you're a jack ass. i've used ubuntu for like 14 months now [06:49] ?

[06:50] kaiwen: checking [06:50] patti, i need eth0 r eth1 format [06:50] wow sorry had the same problem with my ubuntu somehow got it fixed [06:51] o8scura: are you on your Period days?

[07:00] patti iwconfig shows eth0 as the wireless right? [07:00] hi when I try to copy some music into my samba shares directories I get a "access denied" message - what is that about?

[09:25] XiXaQ, I believe screenlets has a package in aptitude, but the screenlets themselves are python apps you'll have to find on your own. [09:26] (some may also have packages) [09:26] cocoabean:wheres iptables [09:26] cvd-pr: I have no idea why it wants to install those packages. It really shouldn't. [09:26] Flannel: I tried your link and used the iptables method. Now I installed dnsmasq, and when I want to restart dnsmasq, I get: http://pastebin.com/m7768b864, may be coz eth0 is still binded using iptables... [09:26] Derander, I see. Are screenlets the only things I can use, or are there others? [09:26] allu1, which port was it telling you was not accessible [09:26] !screenlets [09:26] Screenlets are little widgets for your !desktop. Note you must have !Compiz Fusion, !Beryl, xcompmgr, or KWin to run them. You can get them at http://www.screenlets.org/ [09:26] kewl! :) [09:27] jimcooncat: Thank you!

[09:46] Uplink: when i experiment with windows i reinstalled it 100000 times :D but i will 10nx for the advice [09:46] allu1, i mean run that program that was giving you the error about ports [09:47] pentarex, stick your home folders onto a partition, everything else onto another partition. that way you can reinstall without losing your files ;-) [09:47] pentarex, well if u mess with ubuntu and do something u dont like we are here to help... and of course, u can boot live CD and repair linux ;] [09:47] Derander: we are just talking i am new to linux.... how to do that [09:47] cocoabean: i tried alredy gives still that port error [09:47] pentarex, do you know how to make partitions? [09:47] Flannel, uninstall the ubuntu-resctricted? and then install the mp3 etcc manual individual? [09:47] Derander: only when install ubuntu [09:48] Derander, for some reason he doesnt have a swap partition =/ [09:48] pentarex, hit alt+f2 then type in 'gksudo gparted' [09:48] does totem player has iptv support/ [09:48] uplink: hah [09:48] uplink: Ubuntu shouldn't let you do that.. [09:48] cvd-pr: What? No, you don't need to remove each piece of it. Just the package itself. [09:48] cocabea:i restart now see you soon [09:48] Derander, look at this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/38162/ [09:48] Say what? I will tell it what it should and should not let me do... [09:48] Flannel, i now but then if i want mp3 suport? [09:49] Uplink, impressive.. [09:49] cvd-pr: removing ubuntu-restricted-extras won't remove any support [09:49] prince_jammys, r u still here? [09:49] alistair: i am [09:49] Derander, shouldnt say Linux swap / Solaris under System? [09:49] Derander: yeap thats my hdd :P but when i click alt + f2 and gksudo gparted nothing happens [09:50] pentarex, did you hit return? [09:50] lol [09:50] Uplink: something should be there [09:50] prince_jammys, gr8. Sri I came back and lost those commands you gave me for the desktop change to KDE can u pse repeat? [09:50] Hi all, can anyone help me with Hardy AMD64 software RAID5 issue? [09:50] alistair: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [09:50] Flannel, yes java-6 is goone [09:50] Derander: no why [09:50] pentarex, you need to :-) [09:50] alistair: wait!!! [09:50] why does he need to? [09:50] How do I change the launcher icon? [09:51] alistair: use aptitude, it makes it easier to uninstall later [09:51] Uplink, otherwise the command doesn't run [09:51] Derander: when i click alt+f2 its run application starts [09:51] pentarex, that is a partitioning application. [09:51] alistair: yeah do that. sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop [09:51] Derander, i ment why does he need to make any other partitions? [09:51] Derander: but nothing happens [09:51] Hi all! I have a problem with WC3. When I play in OpenGl mode I can't "tab-out and in", if I do that all textures get messed up. But if i don't play in OpenGl mode I can't use the startcommand "-fullscreen -width 1920 -height 1200" Thanks. I have tries different versions of wine... :( [09:51] meant* [09:51] Uplink, if he wants to create a seperate home partition [09:51] aptitude has better metapackage handling [09:51] Derander, he has one? [09:52] i had to get rid of KDE and it was a real pain [09:52] Uplink, He does? [09:52] i used apt-get [09:52] im so hot [09:52] Derander: i g2g man 10nx for now i will be back later [09:52] Cocoabean, OK tk u.

[09:52] Uplink, oh, sorry, wasn't paying attention :-P [09:52] pentarex, dont listen to Derander. LoL [09:52] yea i use apt-get but, i thought id potentially save someoen alot of trouble later on [09:52] Guys I cant find anywhere (help or forum) how to format dvd/cd rw?? [09:53] Where does Ubuntu store it's WEP acess keys? [09:53] alistair: use brasero [09:53] php6th, OK [09:53] help [09:53] umm, I just set the mount options to auto using the gnome manager and now when i try click on my drives to mount from the places menu it says invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume [09:53] lalalla, with what? [09:54] i2adoo, Try Edit Wireless Networks [09:54] Seems very odd that format is not integrated into File Explorer [09:54] cocoabean: now i noticed it says the master server reports that clients can not connect to this server.

[09:57] umm, I just set the mount options to auto using the gnome manager and now when i try click on my drives to mount from the places menu it says invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume??? [09:57] allup if youre firewall is disabled there should be no reason clients cannot connect [09:57] cocoabean: i found some help [09:57] http://www.teeworlds.com/?page=docs&wiki=SettingUpAServer [09:57] yea i found that link too [09:57] look at the first line, its your same problem [09:57] Guys actually Linux uses different syntax its called 'blanking' cheers [09:57] but you ave no router [09:57] firestarter i just a gui? [09:58] alistair, glad you found it [09:58] !firestarter [09:58] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [09:58] your isp could be blocking it allup [09:59] cocoabean:isp? [09:59] who needs firewalls, i trust everybody [09:59] internet service provider [09:59] =] === schmick_ is now known as schmick [09:59] Help: next big Q - say one makes a major change to system hardware config eg add a new video driver and the wheels fall off. Whats Linux-speek for WinXP system restore please? [10:00] !isp [10:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about isp [10:00] Most home users are beind NAT which is quite sufficient as a firewall anyhow.. [10:00] isp = internet service provider [10:00] alistair: Norton ghost for Ubuntu deluxe Version.14 [10:00] ok [10:00] i gotto go eat brb [10:00] !backup [10:00] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [10:01] php6th, no thats too major, all thats needed is to restore some settings back as before (besides I hate Norton) [10:01] how come my hard drives are being noted as sda1 instead of hda1? [10:02] alistair: you can save backups of whatever files you edit, or reconfigure the relevant package, or uninstall the old drivers... it varies depending on what you did. generally, these things aren't a problem. [10:02] alistair: settings? whats that [10:02] Isnt there something in terminal that you can tell it to revert to previous settings on last session? [10:03] alistair: apt-restore previous-state 04 [10:03] something like that? [10:03] php6th: are you making stuff up? [10:03] php6th, so on boot I type 'apt-restore previous-state 04' is that correct? [10:04] Kira: because thats how the new kernel does it. Don't worry, thats supposed to happen [10:04] alistair: no thats not correct, jsut im getting your idea [10:04] oh lawd apt-restore [10:04] is there anyway to remote shutdown winPC via smb? [10:04] alistair: there is no such thing === num1 is now known as num1_ === usuario is now known as wicope [10:05] alistair: you cant restore states... switch to IMac i heard they have a pansy flower restore system [10:05] if you say pansy, flower is assumed :) [10:05] php6th, OK I have backed up using Simple Backup Config. But seems a bit after the fact if you cannot get back to desktop [10:06] hy [10:06] I wrote my own backup software for winxp but its not designed for after the fact either. [10:06] what is apt-restore? [10:07] jim he was joking [10:07] jim: two random words connected by a hyphen [10:07] so it doesn't exist [10:07] ok cool [10:07] nah [10:07] jim: correct [10:07] surprise! If you don't take backups you can't restore from them. Wo'd have thunk it! [10:07] In a sentence "Welcome to 'city'" in multiple files, is there a tool to change the 'city' word for all the files at once? [10:08] blame: sed [10:08] maor: I don't think smb can shut down a computer.. there are other ways though [10:08] blame: sed might be able to do it [10:08] zcat[1], goes without saying but what method is being discussed (I think) is a method to revert back to earlier system settings aka windows restore. [10:08] blame: you could do it with a tool like sed... but a scripter might try to arrange to factor that [10:09] blame: there are many. perl, sed, etc. or GUI thing like 'kfilereplace' [10:09] alistair: use a hammer! [10:09] which one will serve best (and how) [10:09] is it hammer time? [10:09] cocoabean iam back [10:09] zcat[1], no it changes the shape of the beast [10:09] allup, hey [10:10] blame: depends entirely on you.. do you like command line stuff or gui stuff.. is this for some script or just a one time thing etc etc [10:10] hammer is a filesystem that retains the previous state at various 'snapshots' [10:10] alistair: are you suggesting Ubuntu should be a copy of Windows? [10:10] although I don't think it's available for Linux yet.. OSS though so someone will port it eventually [10:10] blame: the 'how' of sed is better discussed in #sed, or #bash for the 'multiple files' part. you may also try gui tool like kfilereplace. [10:10] Slart, what about net rpc?? [10:10] how come ubuntu is so slow on eee 900? :/ [10:11] php6th, not at all, and I would hate that, but there are just a few good things in windows that I'm used to [10:11] underandy: probably a bit short on ram [10:11] zcat[1]: got 1gb!?! [10:11] underandy: eee = slow by default [10:11] cocoabean: in teeworlds web page there reads Start the server by running "teeworlds_srv -f my_server_config.cfg" but when i try it says command not found [10:11] php6th: I heard people used "scripts" to tweak [10:11] maor: yes.. that might work better.. there are tons of little "run this command on that network computer"-programs available, via resource kits and what not.. wine ought to work with some of them [10:11] Slart: no, just for one time purpose, command line would be ideal if it will save me from installing gui stuff [10:11] alistair: dont use backups, thats weak, learn to config and mantain your system, voila! [10:12] eee has a gig? Hmm.. I thought it had less.. must just be underclocked ... 600MHZ isn't it? That's pretty slow by todays standards [10:12] blame: if it was me I'd give sed a try.. man sed for more info [10:12] php6th: and when the HDD packs it in... [10:12] Slart, thanks for the advice, will google it though [10:12] underandy: thy to instal Xfe or just terminal [10:13] php6th: hehe, i couldnt get ubuntu-minimal install to work proprely yesterday [10:13] Could not resolve 'us.archive.ubuntu.com' [10:13] I should actually set up cvs somewhere and chck my ~ in regularly [10:13] zcat[1]: nobody with common sense this days, store the critical information in your local hard drive, ever heard of Cloud Computing?? [10:14] Guys, can we take the theoretical backups discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic? thanks [10:14] underandy: use ubuntu for UMPC (which is a soft pansy version of ubuntu) [10:14] anyone got issues with apt-get update? i get: t changes the shape of the beast [10:14] php6th: exactly.. store your files in a versioning system.. or scp them to other machines (which is what I do, but not regularly enough..) [10:14] anyone got issues with apt-get update? i get: Could not resolve 'us.archive.ubuntu.com' [10:14] argh how can this be so hard in windows i only have to double klik teeworlds-srv exe [10:14] php6th: where can I find it [10:14] how do I figure out what graphic's card my com's running? I know it's a: VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C51 [Geforce 6150 Go] (rev a2). Just don' know what driver is running. [10:15] owen1_: resolves nicely here.. perhaps your dns is having problems [10:15] !umpc [10:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about umpc [10:15] afallenhope: lspci [10:15] mikael79_, I did that :-s [10:15] afallenhope: and it says quite plainly there geforce 6150 [10:15] underandy: use http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile [10:15] allup: what are you trying to do? [10:15] downoading teeworlds [10:15] MikeSeth, I mean to say which driver is running. [10:15] Slart: it's ubuntu in vbox. ifconfig shows only lo. is there no connection in my vm+ [10:15] ? [10:15] php6th: sre? [10:15] sure?? [10:15] Slart to make teeworlds server [10:16] afallenhope: install EnvyNG [10:16] allup: teeworld? what is it? some kind of game? [10:16] php6th, do I have to uninstall anything? [10:16] underandy: yes, that was designed for poor hardware like yours [10:16] slart:yes its game [10:16] apparently some kind of game, quake-engine based? [10:16] php6th: ok, gonna try [10:16] Slart, easy as clickin a button: net rpc shutdown -f -I xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -U user%pass [10:17] afallenhope: no, i just did over the alst instalaltion [10:17] works for me great [10:17] maor: ah.. nice [10:17] so should run like and other q3 server? I've set up a bunch.. trem, ut4, wop .. Might add this game if it's any good [10:17] slart: www.teeworlds.com [10:17] php6th, do you have guide/tutorial in case something goes wrong? [10:17] !envyng [10:17] 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 [10:18] afallenhope: which X driver? or kernel driver? [10:18] #ubuntu-mobile [10:18] allup: so you've downloaded the .tar.gz file and unpacked it [10:18] MikeSeth, running GNOME with the 2.6.24-19-generic kernel [10:18] slart:when you download the game there comes teeworlds-srv program whit it and whit that you should be able to create servers on it [10:18] Oh, not what I tought.. 2d game. [10:18] slart:yes [10:18] afallenhope: see xorg log [10:18] MikeSeth, ... where's that. [10:19] hehehe [10:19] it's like GUN Bound [10:19] afallenhope: in /var/log, like all other system logs [10:19] OK, ran teeworlds_srv and now I have a server running. That was hard!! [10:19] allup: seems to work for me here.. it doesn't for you? [10:19] zcat: mine doesnt make serv whit that [10:20] no it doesn't open and in terminal it reports errors [10:20] allup: did you download the precompiled binaries or source code? Cos precompiled is obviously much easier... [10:20] allup: can you pastebin the output? [10:20] <_numbers_> what are the best codecs to use for all movies ? and how do you install from terminal ?? thanks :) [10:20] MikeSeth, what's the correct path? /var/log/Xorg.log? [10:20] precomplied [10:20] underandy: what was wrong with the minimal install? [10:20] ok [10:20] !paste [10:20] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [10:21] hop [10:21] It's complaining that I need to open ports on my firewall. Cool. [10:21] (behind nat here) [10:21] owen1_: when I used the unetbooting from windows to move over the iso to the usb stick and tried to install then after install it said inset properly disk device [10:21] nobody uses firewalls this days [10:21] afallenhope: why not poke around /var/log and see for yourself? [10:21] php6th: the hell [10:21] php6th: lies. [10:21] <_numbers_> ubuntu codecs pack ?? [10:22] http://paste.ubuntu.com/38167/ [10:22] php6th: i've 11 sonic firewalls and a few mailfoundrys [10:22] _numbers_: just use vlc.. everything built in [10:22] MikeSeth, I did. and I have like 5 Xorg.0.log, Xorg.0.log.old, Xorg.20.log (I exagerated.. not sure which one..) [10:22] eth01: you must be a paranoid ex-FBI agent [10:22] php6th: practically everyone uses nat which is a pretty effective firewall considering it's not even really a firewall. [10:22] <_numbers_> i use vlc but its not perfect picture [10:22] afallenhope: Xorg.0.log is the newest one.. the others are older [10:22] pgp6th: no. [10:22] pgp6th: ISP :) [10:22] underandy: did u try ubuntu-eee? http://www.ubuntu-eee.com [10:23] owen1_: it was very slow [10:23] zcat[1]: yep, what else do you need apart of NAT? by other hand, who cares about your computer and yo information, you are nobody... [10:23] zcat [1] how do i turn nat off [10:23] _numbers_: try w32codecs... !medibuntu [10:23] If I were on a realworld IP I would probably configure firestarter. I don't want random people talking to my pulseaudio server or printing on my printer! [10:24] underandy: ok. so u'r trying the mobile version now? [10:24] afallenhope: logs are rotated, so you want the most recent one either way [10:24] ok... [10:24] so how do i fix thi http://paste.ubuntu.com/38167/ [10:24] owen1_: not now, gonna try minimal first [10:24] allup: you don't... but for running a server (linux or windows) you will need to log into the router and forward the apropriate port(s) [10:24] Slart, thanks. okay I'm confused as to why I'm in there. all I asked was if there was a tutorial I could follow to install the envyng and incase that jacks up go back to the one I have now. [10:24] and how i do that [10:24] allup: what does it say there.. last two lines... that's what you have to do [10:25] how i fix them i know whet reads but i have turn firewall off alredy [10:25] afallenhope: hmm.. don't know of a tutorial to go back.. but you could always see what the bot says to !nvidia [10:25] allup: no idea. and it's not an ubuntu problem anyhow (even though your router probably runs linux, I doubt it runs ubuntu!) [10:25] !nvidia [10:25] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [10:25] allup: portforward.org or something tells you how.. google port forwarding [10:25] underandy: great. after installing xorg i would advice getting dwm. it's the fastest wm out there any it's great if u hate mouses. [10:25] afallenhope: and installing envyng is just "sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk" [10:25] underandy: dont be fool, install debian + XFCE , voila [10:26] * Derander loves ion3. [10:26] afallenhope: envyng itself is a point a click application [10:26] hi every body [10:26] underandy: i use it without a desktop environment. [10:26] owen1_: i like pekwm [10:26] <_numbers_> Slart i dont use medibuntu tho, im using ubuntu x64 [10:26] afallenhope: install Envy!!! [10:26] <_numbers_> i will google tho [10:26] !envyng [10:26] envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package.

[10:27] koala31: what's that error message again? [10:27] Slart, so it's just "sudo apt-get install envyng envyng-gtk" [10:28] Can someone tell me how to set proxy settings on IRSSI?? [10:28] Flannel : No I don't want to log in as root.

[11:19] Sinn3rman: here's a thread on the ubuntu forums about it.. it's quite old but it seems to be the same problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=433930 [11:19] oh i figured you were already in it [11:19] Slart: ok thanks, let me have a read through that.

[11:23] and [11:23] othellix: Filme , not filme === Kaeron_ is now known as Kaeron [11:23] i make a dir and i can not delete [11:24] boho103, there are some hacks to do that, yes, it does involve some hardware modification though you can get a plug in device [11:24] mkdir othellix [11:24] yeah I have the memory card exploit [11:24] and I have the linux ps2 disks [11:24] othellix: rmdir removes empty dirs. use 'rm -r Filme' to remove a dir and all its contents. [11:25] but I'm not sure if the ubuntu distro works with it... [11:25] boho103, I put ubuntu on a ps3 last week, went quite well, can't tell you much about ps2 really [11:25] hmmm well thanks anyways! if you were to make an educated guess, what would you say? [11:25] possible? [11:26] hi. is there anything special about mounting a xdvdfs iso file? [11:26] mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0 [11:27] boho103, I think it may work but will involve a lot of hacking [11:28] my cpu runs at 100% but System Monitor doesn't show any process using that much, ideas? === BaD-Laptop is now known as BaD_CrC [11:28] haha alright sweet, I'm hoping it will work, I'm trying to make a media center of sorts [11:28] zguL, view | all processes [11:29] hi guys, how can i run the 3D cube in Ubuntu? I have Ubuntu 8.04.1 [11:29] <_numbers_> compiz fusion [11:29] anto9us: it was appearantly my Terminal window [11:29] rockyrock: install simple-ccsm (or compizconfig-settings-manager) and then turn on the cube (right now youre on pane, I believe) [11:29] I closed it and cpu usage is normal [11:29] hm, ccsm doesnt come default with ubuntu anymore? [11:30] Warmak, what does file -s filename.iso report? [11:30] <_numbers_> system,preferences,advance desktop effects rockyrock [11:30] ubuntu sure did cripple compiz, though i can see why [11:30] <_numbers_> my compiz works fine [11:30] zguL, or perhaps a child process you'd started from the terminal [11:30] anto9us: yes that was probably it [11:31] hey this is #ubuntu channel? === Tizz_ is now known as Tizz [11:31] unop, a.iso: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data UDF filesystem data (unknown version, id 'NSR0 [11:31] mariusss: yes [11:31] tried both, -t iso9660 and udf [11:31] somebody talk with me 5minutes ago here... with my movie problem [11:31] i was on micro$shit... now i'm on ubuntu [11:32] mariusss, yes, you're in the right place [11:32] hi people, somebody know how to create an keyboard layout (driver of keyboard)? [11:32] Warmak, tried without specifying a filesystem? sudo mount -o loop file.iso /mount/point [11:32] hmm, how do i disable transparent borders in gnome windows that are out of focus [11:32] so i open mplayer and change avaible drivers on X11 and work fine with compozition active [11:32] anyways, has someone here ever converted .mkv files to .mp4 ? I'm having problems with neroAacEnc not creating an .m4a file although it should. I've found out that the problem might have to do with the size of the movie, ~5Gb. Sound familiar? [11:33] wow unop i never knew it was that easy to mount an iso in linux [11:33] coolness === zwox_ is now known as zwox [11:33] linuxfce with you i talked 5minutes ago? [11:34] mariusss yes but im no expert i just know vlc plays all my stuff including hd [11:34] linuxfce, you can mount quite a few image types to a loopback device - not just isos [11:34] unop, same problem [11:34] i fix the problem with M player [11:34] zguL, if you're putting it on a fat32 formatted device then 5GB is too big [11:34] Warmak, is this an ISO you downloaded from somewhere? [11:34] i change avaible drivers from preferences on X11 and work now! thank's [11:34] m player messes up my HD content, after about 5 minutes says something about frame buffers full [11:35] my laptop barely plays 1080p, everythings gotta be set just right [11:35] linuxfce: but only M player work now... in totem i don't find that option to change video driver to X11 [11:35] unop, no problem when burning with k3b [11:36] unop thats cool, ill have to rtfm later on that one === simon__ is now known as XSpudlyX [11:36] anto9us: nope, that is not the case [11:36] Warmak, that doesn't necessarily indicate the ISO is not corrupt .. have you verified the md5sum/sha1sum of the ISO? [11:36] NTFS [11:37] mariusss again youre talking to the wrong guy im no expert i came here for help myself [11:37] i'd help if i could but its just over my head [11:37] I struggling with include/excludes using rsync. I have a directory Dir/ that I want to exclude the contents of, except for a certain directory in it, which I want to include. I have tried **/Dir in my exclude-from file and **/Dir/Keep\ dir/ in my include-from file, but everything from Dir/ is excluded. How can I accomplish what I want? [11:37] unop, doesn't k3b do this when you open an iso file? [11:37] zguL, try a different encoding solution, perhaps transcode or mencoder [11:37] hey guys [11:37] any IM client that has webcam support [11:37] i want to download doom 3 for Linux [11:38] how much is its size? [11:38] because pidgin dont have [11:38] anto9us: thanks, I will look into it [11:38] Warmak, i'm not aware of k3b .. but i don't think so .. you usually verify the md5sum returned against the md5sum on the vendor's website [11:38] Hi, I want to have metacity start up on default instead of compiz, how can I do this (8.04) [11:39] blackbinary_ good question, im assuming metacity --replace doesn't stick [11:39] linuxfce as fas as i know it works just for the session your in [11:39] yeah, well i dont know then [11:39] hi everybody. Who can tell me what command will allow me to ckeck my partitions for errors? [11:39] blackbinary_: system, preferences, appearance, visual efects, set to none [11:40] vadim: fsck [11:40] Slart does none basically = metacity? [11:40] thanx [11:40] blackbinary_: I think so, yes [11:40] I have a problem! I installed ubuntu and now my internet is terribly slow.. it is a known issue! I was very disappointed.. also tried a couple of fixes and it still doesn't work. What is the best alternative for Ubuntu in terms of automatic updates, user friendliness and "it just works" [11:40] Wow laptopuser lol, i have nothing to say [11:40] Slart do you know of a way to check to see which I am running? [11:40] andre_d, have a read here/ http://www.silug.org/lists/silug-discuss/200704/msg00021.html [11:41] linuxfce: ???! why lol? [11:41] it is annoying to have slow internet! [11:41] blackbinary_: run this, "ps -A | grep -i compiz", see if it finds a compiz process [11:41] blackbinary_: replace compiz with metacity to search for that instead [11:41] laptopuser its just funny to me that you come in here with a problem that you already gave up on and ask for suggestions for another distro [11:42] linuxfce: why is this so funny... it just doesn't work.... [11:42] is there a way to make xchat print /list in a new window? [11:42] Heh, that is slightly funny. also kinda sad. [11:42] Laptopuser: what kind of known issue is it? why is your internet slow? [11:42] linuxfce: I was very disappointed by ubuntu because I deleted my vista for it and now the same shit with things that don't work [11:42] oh, well im sorry to hear that [11:43] these guys here can probably help you solve your internet problem [11:43] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=778911 [11:43] Slart, got metacity, dont have compiz :D === camara is now known as xantara [11:43] whitedox, try menu items, Window | Channel List [11:43] lots of people have this prolbem [11:43] blackbinary_: there you go =) [11:43] blackbinary_ just a thought, you could remove compiz. save some space and acheive the same result [11:44] Slart do you know how to get compositing (or however it is spelled) on metacity working? or is it enabled by default? [11:44] I have uninstalled evolution mail client yet I have one package in update that is related to it. How do I make it dissapear? Thanks. [11:44] anto9us, thanks [11:44] I tried this fix: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/slow-internet-after-upgrade-to-ubuntu-8.04-637922/ [11:44] still doesn't work [11:44] linuxfce, because I may still use it once wine gets better. Right now it causes a few programs to not display their gui [11:44] ahhh ok blackbinary_ [11:45] i read wine's up to 1.0. imagine that [11:45] any ideas for a different distro? [11:45] laptopuser try mint linux [11:45] Laptopuser, i enjoy xubuntu :) [11:45] Laptopuser, that might be offtopic for here [11:45] xubuntu is an option. but it will probably give me the same issue [11:45] how can i know the needed update packages from Synaptic, cuz i want to generate a package download script from Synaptic so i can download update packages from an internet cafe. My internet is very slow in my house. [11:45] why is that? [11:45] hi .. i just reinstalled ubuntu on my pc on a new hdd . i wish to remove the options and format the other hdd [11:45] Laptopuser: ah.. it's a wireless network connection.. well.. those can be weird [11:46] Laptopuser, I would suggest that you disable ipv6 [11:46] no It#s not wireless [11:46] ompaul: already tried that.. [11:46] how i install win4lin? [11:46] I edited the aliases file [11:46] and disabled ipv6 [11:46] unop, can't find a md5sum to compare with mine, do you think a corrupted download is the only problem? [11:46] blackbinary_: metacity doesn't do compositing... it's one of the reasons for compiz.. there is a small utility if you just want basic transparency without all the other shiny stuff though.. search in synaptic for composite [11:47] unop: hi you there ?? [11:47] Slart, i've got quite a few posts that says it does, nothing flashy but shadows & window fade etc. [11:47] i have an external monitor connected to my notebook and i'm using clone mode, drivers are fglrx (ati x700). so far everythings working fine except one thing. when i try to play quake 3 only 640x480 will work on the external monitor if i try to set the resolution higher than 640x480 the external monitor turns black - any ideas why this happening? thanks in advance [11:47] Can anyone tell me how to remove a package I do not wish to update yet I still see it in synaptic? [11:47] guys if i install virtualbox with window$ cand i play in it? i mean to play in windoze from virtualbox [11:48] blackbinary_: huh.. metacity with window fade and stuff.. news to me at least.. they don't say how they do it? [11:48] Hi :) I'm trying to find a program that can insert a certain string of text every time I click a special button or keycombo. Would anyone know a program like that? [11:48] mariusss why wouldnt you be able to? [11:48] Laptopuser, you need to blacklist module also [11:48] Slart : http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/03/31/enable-metacity-compositing-in-gnome-222/ [11:48] mariusss: You most likely couldn't because it's "virtual" hardware (I tried) [11:48] how i install win4lin? [11:49] So they do Slart, was just wondering if there was a simpler way or if it was enabled by default or anything [11:49] othellix: http://win4lin.net/content/ [11:49] ok [11:49] i understand... is anoyng because all linux games work fine on my machine 60-100fps and wine emulated games work with low fps [11:49] blackbinary_: if you edit the gnome "registry" I think it will stick [11:50] i have cedega too but is same thing like wine [11:50] mariusss: Yeah it sucks, but look at it this way: ValvE are porting all source games for Linux ^^ [11:50] blackbinary_: just run gconf-editor in a terminal, click your way to apps, metacity, general, compositing manager [11:50] all games with source engine? [11:50] somebody know to create/edit keyboard layout? [11:51] mariusss: Yeah, like Half-Life 2, Counter Strike: Source and Day Of Defeat :D [11:51] p1per, it could be that the timings need tweaking manually for your specific monitor, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [11:51] hello every body [11:51] eax: nice but i want to play counter-strike 1.6 [11:51] i tested keycodes of additionals buttons (internet buttons) and nothing say [11:51] mariusss: You could download Steam and see if it worked? [11:51] Hey all [11:52] Hi :) I'm trying to find a program that can insert a certain string of text every time I click a special button or keycombo. Would anyone know a program like that? [11:52] Slart, eh seems laggy like other people were complaining. [11:52] i dont have steam... i play with my friend on local area network [11:52] anto9us thanks, i will have a look at that :) [11:52] mariusss: Ohh trough WON? [11:52] I have an intel G31 graphics chip and 3D programs run really slow. glxinfo does seem to show the dri is on etc [11:53] mariusss, you could try Crossover Games, its based off wine, you can get a 15 day trial, then become an advocate to get it for free. [11:53] eax: kde has khotkeys [11:53] can someone discribe me how to disable the bootscreen on xubuntu live so that i can see the bootstrap. i need to find out which video driver the system loads. [11:53] blackbinary_: well.. it seems it is brand new.. so it might need some polish before it's running smooth.. it took compiz pretty long to become what it is now [11:53] i have cedega... but work exactly like wine [11:53] mariusss, its like wine but with the best version for each game & usually the best settings you can get. [11:53] hi .. how do i edit the bootloader ? [11:53] JohnFlux_: Thanks, but I'm running GNOME as I really don't like KDE, but can I get that for Gnome? [11:53] vegombrei, what you need edit? [11:53] blackbinary i have cedega too but work like wine.. [11:54] linuxrookie: you could try running "glxgears -info" and check the output [11:54] Slart, apparently theres a new version that removes a 50fps cap [11:54] it's just plain bad that I have to disable ipv6 to get the internet to work! Ubuntu is supposed to work without editing all kinds of config files! [11:54] mariusss, I know, you said that. I was just suggesting a free alternative to try, because they all act differently. [11:54] does anyone know an answer for my Q? [11:54] Is there an opposite command to 'eject'? [11:54] thanks slart [11:54] bullgard4: mount [11:54] does ubuntu support mips processors?

[12:34] unop: ok [12:35] pinhead_66: then you must configure samba [12:35] o_o [12:35] pinhead_66, easiest and quickest is to share over ssh, on file server, sudo apt-get install ssh, then in in file browser on other machine enter ssh:// [12:35] Lynx_, did you start any processes off in the ssh sessions? [12:35] ok here is the error firefox gave me http://paste.ubuntu.com/38186/ [12:35] Lynx_: That's client side behaviour, not server. You can change it in the putty options [12:35] unop: no... [12:35] <|pUm|> pinhead_66 sorry to say, but you have to do alot of more work, would you like to transfer some files more often? or only once?

[12:35] i just installed pearpc via synaptic did not come to menu , and can't launch from terminal as not sure what the name is , anyone know what pearpc command is to lauch from terminal ? [12:36] LSD|Ninja: hmm, but the same putty does not do that with other servers, and also commandline openssh does not quit if i exit the session... [12:36] tj1515: uninstall the flash plugin and try different ones and different versions of it [12:36] I'm trying to install ubuntu using unetbootin' [12:36] basically i have 2 drives .. one 250 sata and the other 80 .. i had windows xp initially installed on a partition on the 250 .. ubuntu was dedicated on the 80 .. 80 being the secondary drive ... what happened was that i tried to remove windows and free up that drive for ubuntu .. but i took out the MBR so i reformatted and reinstalled ubuntu on the primary 250 drive .. but now the older one on the 80 wont go [12:37] trigpin: dpjg -L |grep bin [12:37] Lynx_, hmm, is exit aliased to something else ? [12:37] Can anyone tell me whether to choose Diskimage or Custom? [12:37] vegombrei: define "won't go" [12:37] how can i change my splash screen (on boot) [12:37] unop: not unless it is by default. but actually it probably is client side, as I get the 'logout' message in putty/openssh [12:38] the ultimate intention is having folders that can be accesed on both pc's and if possible connecting to the internet through the lan, with a hub [12:38] Lynx_: what's putty set to do on exit? Default is to kill the window on a clean exit, maybe you changed it for that particular server? [12:38] i'm probably way over my head here, but linux is just too much fun [12:38] I'm trying to mount a ntfs partition but mount tells me that it's marked to be in use. What will happen if I force mount it? [12:39] unop: dude yesterday we removed the MBR by mistake so i had to reinstall ubuntu so i did it on the primary drive [12:39] Keile, do you have a flash drive ? [12:39] vegombrei, do you want to go back to ubuntu on the 80GB drive? [12:39] pinhead_66, getting a hub will change things, that will act as the internet sharing device rather than the machine doing it, sharing right now is complicated for you as you have to tell it which network device to use [12:39] pinhead_66: making a samba share available on the internet is simply terminally stupid [12:40] that was not my intention wols_ [12:40] unop: no i wanna remove that and free that space and also remove the option to boot from there in bootloader [12:40] i have a dual boot system compose of xp and ubuntu hardy. I also have a separate ntfs drive for my files. now i want to add some space to my xp drive, can i do this in ubuntu hardy? [12:40] wols_, thanks , works . =) [12:40] the shared folder should only be accesbile by the other pc [12:40] pinhead_66: didn't you say "intention is having folders that can be accesed on both pc's and if possible connecting to the internet" [12:40] LSD|Ninja: hmm, can't find that setting. but maybe it just has to do with tunneling and socks proxy stuff, or x forwarding [12:41] then i gave a wrong description, sorry [12:41] pinhead_66, I suggest ssh is your most convenient and flexible solution right now [12:41] Lynx_: it's on the opening page of the putty options, undernmeath the list of saved sessions [12:41] !samba | pinhead_66 [12:41] pinhead_66: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[12:42] vegombrei, ok, the same procedure as yesterday then -- use gparted to remove all the partitions on the disk .. make a new partition, etc .. to remove the grub boot entry, this should do. sudo mv /boot/grub/menu.lst{,.bkp} && sudo update-grub [12:42] wols_: the router thing fixed it, that's for the pointer [12:42] LSD|Ninja: ah, thanks. no, set to 'on clean exit' [12:42] hello! [12:42] When i install my drivers in Ndiswrapper on Xubuntu and do modprobe i restart my computer and nothing happens my wireless isnt working [12:42] can someone help"? [12:42] ok, so samba also works for linux? [12:42] Konner, ask a question to the channel. [12:43] Konner: start your modprobe in a script on bootup [12:43] pinhead_66, samba my be problematic as you're working with multiple network devices, you will have to tell it which network and subnet to work on [12:43] i have it installed allready, [12:43] pinhead_66: yes === FI is now known as INeedHelp === INeedHelp is now known as INeedHelpPlease [12:43] wols_ how do i do that? im kinda new to this [12:43] anto9us: it's not, as long as he is behind a router [12:43] Deluge is getting better and better [12:43] that's a questions of ip and subnet masks then anto9us? [12:43] :-) [12:43] unop: only one problem mate ... the new installation made the swap in the 80 [12:43] Konner: what wlan chip and what exactly do you need to type to make it work after bootup? [12:44] vegombrei: since you remove the partitions anyways it doesn't matter [12:44] pinhead_66: not really [12:44] Its a Linksys WMP54GS (alternitive driver is Broadcom BCM4018) [12:44] lol :), i knew it wasn't gonna be that easy [12:45] can i do partitioning in ubuntu hardy? [12:45] pinhead_66: did you read the urls ubottu gave you? [12:45] gooody: gparted, cfdisk or fdisk [12:45] pinhead_66, you'll need to edit smb.conf | networking section and set up interfaces, ssh will work far more easily for you, as I keep saying [12:45] I'm trying to mount a ntfs partition but mount tells me that it's marked to be in use. What will happen if I force mount it? === Weasel[DK] is now known as Weasel[DK]_eee [12:46] Ivan88: exact error please and the output of "mount" [12:46] Who agrees 8.04 doesnt works as well as 7.10 [12:46] :l [12:46] well, i'm running out of time here, 'ill have to do some reading and searching and trying. i'm afraid i'm still thinking too windows like concerning lan's [12:46] vegombrei, well, you could do two things .. keep the swap partition on that disk as-is and just reformat the other partitions .. or create a new swap partition on the 250GB disk .. i'd choose the first option as it's easier now and you'd have better performance with the swap partition on a separate hard disk [12:46] wols_: i have a dual boot compose of xp and ubuntu hardy. i also have a separate ntfs drive for my files. can i add some space to my xp drive using gparted? [12:46] thanks guys i've installed swfdec and like it for the most part. seems to have fixed the problem so far fingers crossed [12:46] my wireless works fine in 7.10 and not in 8.04 [12:47] gooody: yes [12:47] i've got lmsensors working, it gives output, but when i run xsensors i get this error Sensor 'asb100' not supported by xsensors! and Sensor 'w83l785ts' not supported by xsensors! [12:47] pinhead_66, firestarter will help you set up sharing internet connection quite easily [12:48] anto9us: ipmasq [12:48] pinhead_66: use ipmasq [12:48] Konner with a few specific devices and certain drivers the 7.10 might work better ottb but one cant then say it is in general a better os... [12:49] Konner: why don't you use b43 kernel module? [12:49] wols_: is there a possibility that my xp system will be broken after the partition? [12:49] gooody: depending what you do,it might have destroyed the bootloader of XP [12:49] Konner: somtimes it is a diffucult balance getting better performance while maintaining legacy support ... [12:49] can anyone tell me any linux tools for learning german language [12:49] gooody, before adjusting partitions, it's always better to make sure you have a backup of all data incase something does go wrong during the procedure [12:49] wols_ how? [12:49] i should mention that my internet pc is allready connected to a rooter, witch in turn is connect to the modem [12:49] same applies to all op. system development I guess... [12:49] !b43 | Konner [12:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about b43 [12:50] wols_: how can i do this safely? [12:50] gooody: depends what you do. can't tell in advance [12:50] gooody: the bootloader can be fixed tho. [12:50] pinhead_66, does your router not have other ports to connect the 2nd machine? [12:50] if i had an additional cable i could go only with both pc's, but i'd like to make a renderfarm :) [12:50] Where can I change settings, so that switches between ALL apps, not just between those in the current workspace/desktop?

[13:04] dexter: cause no one made it [13:04] wols_; okk [13:05] dexter, http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/german/ [13:05] hi all. I've installed a 32 bit hardy using debootstrap on a LVM partition of a 64 bit hardy machine. Then I performed a tasksel --new-install and installed ubuntu-system task. Installed a kernel and grub. It works but: 1) it doesn't run update-grub when installing or upgrading a kernel and 2) it hibernates, but it dowsn't even try to recover, mounting the root fs (dirty) at reboot. any idea? [13:05] Where can I change settings, so that switches between ALL apps, not just between those in the current workspace/desktop? [13:05] shinao1: do you want a 2nd ubuntu install or why did you do this? [13:06] wols_; i m checking that site [13:06] stefano: do you want a 2nd ubuntu install or why did you do this? [13:06] thanks wols [13:06] !sendmail [13:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about sendmail [13:06] wols_: yes, i did: i wanted to try out the 32 bit version on the same hardware, just because i need some programs that don't work on the 64 bit env. [13:07] guntbert, ctrl+alt+tab will do that [13:07] stefano: as for update-grub: check /etc/kernel-img.conf. however having a grub from hardy64 any hardy32 both on the same machine is not good [13:07] s/any/and [13:08] wols_: amd64 and 32 bit envs are on different partitions. the 64bit grub loads the 32 bit one (using a chainloader), which is inside another partition (the boot partition of the 32 bit system) [13:08] anto9us: not for me: ctrl+alt+tab switches between desktop and panels but not between applications (on my install at least) [13:08] stefano: ok, that works [13:09] guntbert, aah, maybe it's a feature of compiz then, I believe there's a key sequence for it though, you can use gconf-editor to view/edit them [13:09] Could someone tell me what they think the best virtualization emu/program is? I am looking to run winXP to play a few games / key apps. [13:09] I don't care if its free or pay. [13:09] What games? [13:09] wols_: yes, it boots fine. the problem is that when hibernating, it doesn't seem to even try to resume [13:10] i found virtualbox was easy to install and get working [13:10] anto9us: ah, gconf-editor might help, thx. I'm gonna have a look [13:10] dunno about hibernation sorry [13:10] LSD|Ninja mainly steam Team Fortress 2, and dreamweaver cs3 [13:10] Radux_: does not exist. VMs don't do 3D [13:10] wols_ seriously? [13:10] Radux_: then you want a native boot then. No ifs, buts or maybes. [13:10] yes seriously. [13:10] wols_ well that bites, lol. [13:10] wols_: no problem. I'm investingating the kernel-img.conf. I suspect it may need some modifications for both things [13:11] Radux_: team fortress 2 works in wine [13:11] wols_, not really [13:11] wols_ very low fps + you have to run dx8 [13:12] wols_ and for me any ways, no mic support. [13:13] wols_ LSD|Ninja, maybe you guys can help me boot XP then. I have it on sda1, & menu.lst has it as (hd0,0), it doesn't boot. [13:13] Radux_: full menu.lst please. pastebin [13:13] efnet was hacked.... [13:14] efnet.org [13:15] boho103: don't do this here [13:16] wols_ http://pastebin.com/m41eee6ef [13:17] Radux_: ubuntu is on /dev/sdx1 ? [13:18] wols_ ubuntu is on sdb. no other partitions on there [13:18] wols_ and ubuntu boots fine :) [13:18] Radux_: that can't be since you use (hd2,0) for ubuntu. third hdd as bios sees it [13:19] wols_ I think it may be the fault of my external drive [13:19] Radux_: what happens when you select the winodws install? what messages? [13:19] wols_ my drive has been seen as sda and as sdc, at different times [13:19] wols_ when i select windows I get a garble of text... mostly symbols. [13:20] good evening everyone. [13:20] does anyone/can anyone help me with a problem? [13:20] wols_ oh i was wrong [13:20] what do I need to play quicktime? [13:20] i have 2 rars and want to combine them before i extract them. [13:20] wols_ ubuntu is sdb, sda is windows [13:20] they are an .exe split into two files. how to do this? thanks. [13:21] junglecrazd1, why do you need to do that? [13:21] g morning, can someone give me some advice, im new to ubuntu [13:21] jungle why did you split an exe? [13:22] shiloh7, whats the problem? [13:22] it is a file.001 file.002 [13:22] junglecrazd1, just extract the first rar file [13:22] Radux_: not for your BIOS [13:22] wols_ thats what fdisk -l gives [13:22] Radux_ no problems other than im a noob, i want to install compiz fusion, is there a how to page? [13:22] rambo3: doing now. thanks. [13:22] Radux_: test (hd1,0) for windows [13:22] shiloh7, what version of ubuntu? [13:22] Radux_: fdisk -l is your linux kernel and not your BIOS [13:22] wols_ i know [13:23] shiloh7: what videocard? [13:23] junglecrazd1: check that you have unrar, not unrar-free and unrar the first file. Unrar should combine the parts into one. [13:23] Radux_ just installed 8.04LTS after my last straw with fedora [13:23] shiloh7, then compiz is already installed. [13:23] wols_ already have the nvidia drivers installed [13:24] shiloh7, you'll need a proper graphics driver, and perhaps the compiz-settings package (i cant remember its actual name, just search synaptic for compiz) [13:24] Radux_ hmmm, do i need to get the compiz manager separetly? [13:24] shiloh7, yea. [13:24] shiloh7, but right clicking on your desktop, go to visual effects or whatever it is called, you can turn compiz on there.

Is there a way to tell a package to ignore a dependency when being installed with apt? [13:35] with a vista sidebar look alike? [13:35] dorito, ubuntu comes with one [13:36] Radux_ does it have weather monitoring as well? [13:36] dorito, just the system monitor, you can move the panel to the side if you like though [13:36] dorito, if you want that kind of thing you can just get avant window navigator, or awn. its a dock and supports a lot of things like that. [13:36] tj1515, gnash or swfdev. which one is better? [13:36] dorito: u may want to look at gdesklets [13:36] swfdev in my experience [13:37] thanks guys [13:37] tj1515, swfdev is not in the repo [13:37] uninstall flash then goto a flash site install plugins you'll see swfdev there [13:38] install it through firefox plugin installer [13:40] okay, i really need help getting a proper fstab and setting up a proper dual boot.

Can I put the new drive in it an rsync over the whole file system and boot off the new drive? Or should I install the new drive format and install ubuntu and the rsync the old drive back?

I sshd on the server works if i connect via the server, i can ping the server from the client box, but i cannot connect to port 22 via the client box. what might be the problem? [13:44] Hi!!! [13:44] Any here have a nvidi G8x (8400, 8600) ? Are you satisfied with it? is it's temperature ok? [13:44] my_haz, did you check iptables? [13:45] lihijo: #hardware. you are OT [13:45] hi all, can I ask a question about systemimager ? [13:45] jpastore: i would rsync too the old drive [13:45] ta [13:45] jpastore: what should i look for in iptables? [13:45] my_haz: iptables -L [13:45] my_haz, wols_ beat me to it =) [13:45] will ubuntu work with nvidia 8400m gs?

[13:47] Hey folks.. i need to detach a program from the terminal.. whats the command again? thought it was "&& disown" but that didnt work.. [13:47] jpastore: yes they are connected directly via an ethernet wire [13:48] I've got a problem with kde-window-decorator. I'm using Ubuntu with KDE4 and compiz. Sometimes at startup the kdm crashes. I already reinstalles compiz with all addons but I still got the error. I've got the same probem if I change something at the configuration programm of compiz. Do someone now this bug and maybe a solution? [13:48] Sorlag: what do you mean exactly? you want to keep the program running while you close the terminal? [13:48] jpastore, wols_ ok i see a problem, two boxes were sharing the same ip address, so i was actually connecting to the wrong box [13:48] wols_ yes [13:49] Sorlag: nohup or screen,depending [13:49] my_haz, that'll do it =) [13:50] something got wring with my graphics driver which I want to upgrade now. I want to switch to console (CTRL+ALT+F1), however the latter combination does not do anything! So how do I switch to console and back? [13:50] earthian: that is the right key combo. what video driver? [13:50] fglrx which is not loaded now as i have glx indirect [13:50] it would be cool if the system tray has the feature that can hide some icons as in Windows [13:51] earthian: that doesn't answer the question [13:51] version 8.50.x? [13:51] that is fglrx [13:51] padang [13:51] yes, i said that. :) [13:52] you said fglrx is not loaded. so what is it? [13:52] what driver do you run right now? [13:52] dunno [13:52] vesa? [13:52] whats the default fallback driver here? [13:52] earthian: check your Xorg.0.log [13:53] says fglrx [13:53] with disabled 3d accel. [13:53] hi. I have a problem. Can't install extension to my openoffice. When trying to do that have a mistake - couldn't create java implementation loader. What the matter can be? [13:53] jpastore: now i can't seem to ping the box [13:54] earthian: Xorg.0.log will tell you why [13:54] vadim: java is installed? [13:54] :yes it is [13:54] wols_, the driver is not an issue atm. the issue is the switching to the console which does not work.. [13:54] jpastore, wols_ thanks, for whatever reason if i connect over the wireless card everything works, who knows [13:55] earthian: considering the driver itself is not working as intended and is proprietary to boot, what do you expect us to do? we cannot troubleshoot it [13:56] : could you help me with that? [13:56] vadim: dunno then [13:56] wols_, is the CTRL+ALT+Fn key combo dependent on the GFX driver? [13:57] earthian: sometimes. e.g. with my savage4 card it crashed my machine when I did that [13:57] oh [13:57] ok i see. thanks then a lot! [13:58] it seems flash 10 is stabler than 9 === ned- is now known as ned [13:58] Gin, and it uses slightly less cpu [13:58] Anyone here know anything about HVAC? [13:58] I want to build a thermostat.

[13:59] Pelo, yea, finally adobe is putting in some work for the linux version [14:00] Gin, personnaly I don'T understand why flash uses so much cpu anyway, it's just a video player, other video players don'T use as much, it's the same in windows [14:01] Pelo, don't know.. :\ [14:01] Pelo: flash uses i386 integer cpu commands ONLY [14:01] no MMX; no SSE, no FPU, nothing [14:01] can someone running the default human theme , with no change , take a screen shot for me , possibly with nautilus open ? and pastbin it somewhere [14:02] wols_, then they should start using them [14:02] Gin: no. reduces compatibility [14:02] Pelo: why? [14:02] tho they started with flash 10 to partially do it (alternate code paths) [14:02] wols_, what compability? [14:02] with different hardware and OSes [14:03] Enselic, the screenshot ? cause I messed around with mine to much for me to use in a submission for the new theme , I need a before picture [14:03] hi, when you create a launcher etc how do you specify it to lauch it in terminal. [14:03] wols_, but 99% of the hardware support i386 and most of them are either amd or Intel and OS = Windows or Linux [14:03] hey all need some help how do you copy files [14:03] Pelo: why not create a new temporary user and do it yourself? [14:03] Gin: yes, which is why they use i386 ISA only [14:04] hi [14:05] how do you copy files in ubuntu [14:05] Enselic, I'd rather not restart my current session, if you don'T want to do it , fine, I'm not asking you to undo your own theme, that's why I asked for someone running the default theme already [14:05] Pelo: I'm sorry if I had an offensive tone, that was not at all my intention [14:05] Pelo: but there is no need to restart your current session, you can switch users [14:06] so I'm trying to install wicd and aptitude wants to uninstall network-manager and ubuntu-desktop. I'm ok with nm-applet going away but don't I need ubuntu-desktop? [14:06] oh, I'm dumb. found it [14:06] alguem do Brazil [14:06] jpastore: Nope. [14:06] It's a metapackage.

[14:33] tj83: #networking prolly [14:33] earthian, TY, i'll try it. [14:33] anybody who has information on apt-key?

I have no more blankCDs. Can I use a flash key card? [14:40] Hello, I have tried to upgrade FGLRX driver and failed badly: I have removed it and then installed the new one build from the proprietary with --buildpkg ubuntu/hardy, then dpkg -i *.deb with the freshly built debs for the driver. Now I cant login, I get Xsession error about it not finding /etc/ati/ati-fglrx.sh or so... what should I do? How come the new fglrx driver does not put a file that is "needed"? Help! I am stuck in terminal now : [14:40] .. xorg.conf seems correct, install did not give any errors.. [14:41] nano /etc/X11/Xsession [14:41] Led_Zeppelin, yes , there is an app in the medibuntu repos I think that lets you make a usb flash installer , but I think you can actualy upgrade from the cd if you mount the .iso file [14:41] ups :p [14:41] Pelo, oh really? [14:42] thats the same as upgrading from apt I bet [14:42] I have bought a mouse with several buttons... It works fine, but the buttons don't have special attributes. One of the extra buttons are just another middle button, another is just right click. How is this configured? [14:42] theres something better ;) [14:42] Led_Zeppelin, I think you just need to mount the iso to /media/cdrom or some such [14:43] Led_Zeppelin, when I incerted the ubuntu 8.04 live dvd while running 7.10, I was asked if I wanted to add the dvd to the repos list or ignore or upgrade [14:43] yah, I think thats apt-upgrade [14:43] Led_Zeppelin, I assume you 'll be asked the same if you mount the iso to /media/cdrom [14:43] well, if I do a freshinstall, it maybe be better I though [14:44] apt-get dist-upgrade should do the distro upgrade if you have the sources.list pointing to the 8.04 ones correctly.. [14:44] earthian, ##networking is deader than a door nail :) [14:44] tj83: not as dead as #ati i bet :P [14:45] Led_Zeppelin, look in to "live usb installer" then [14:45] earthian, i dunno, a page worth of information and post not a since response. all are sleeping. [14:45] single [14:46] tj83: well.. patience is what you need then :/ [14:46] * tj83 has had 3 weeks of patience [14:46] Pelo, eh, screw it. I will stick with 7.10 too much hassle. Why break something when everything but mozilla is working fine :-) [14:47] earthian: i used Method 2 of this guide to install the ati drivers successfully http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide [14:47] Led_Zeppelin, what issue are you having with mozilla , out of curiosity ? [14:47] Pelo, I have a 64 bit box. I want to get Flash and stuff working. [14:47] Led_Zeppelin, ah I see, nothing I can do there [14:47] earthian, what kind of issue are you having with ATI? i have an x1200 [14:49] later folks [14:49] what would be a good channel to inquire about g++ ?

[15:14] Phantomas: 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 [15:14] Phantomas, just as a security precaution. if your box gets exploited might make it harder for a bot to overcome [15:15] how do i stop 6237 esd-nobeeps process ?

[15:16] Filbert, ffdshow [15:16] tj83: enabling root logins (and hence su) reduces the amount of audit trails on the machine, and is much less flexible. sudo lets you define per application root access - so you can give someone the ability to run one tool as root, but not any other etc [15:16] Finnish_, suomi use ffdshow [15:17] rambo3: Ok, I'll try [15:17] Hello, just installed Ubuntu this morning - very impressed. Could someone please show me how to change screen resolution? I cannot find the option in control panel. [15:17] how do i do this? Make sure that the partition is FAT32 unless the distro you are installing has native NTFS read/write support [15:17] hello [15:18] gfhfshf [15:18] i have dsl does it have ntfs [15:18] ZZ1, as long as you havent fiddled with compiz, you can click system-prefferencese screen resolution [15:19] I've loaded kde4, is it in the same place? [15:19] helo [15:19] ah, dont know about kde, you can do it manually in /etc/X11/xorg.conf thats the file where you can find your settings [15:20] !pastebin > jegan [15:20] jegan, please see my private message [15:20] how do I access this file please? [15:20] sorry - I'm used to Windows [15:20] how can i set the expiration of the sudo authentication to 0? [15:21] allu2, you should ask in #damnsmalllinux for support with that distro [15:21] hey, i installed windows to own partition, and now i cant use ubuntu? any idea how i get that grup loader up again? [15:21] !grub | Racle [15:21] Racle: 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 [15:21] ; ) [15:21] ZZ1, open a terminal and enter: gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf warning tho... be careful this errors can leave our box in a non booting condition [15:21] ty =) [15:22] in what channel can i ask about compilers and dev tools ? [15:22] JackWinter: if you run ubuntu, you can ask here [15:23] JackWinter: Don't ask to ask, simply ask ;) [15:23] if it's OT we tell you where to ask [15:23] question how exactly do i chown a folder, i'd like to chown /var/lib/mpd/* [15:23] Demios: man chown [15:23] is there a keyboard shortcut to open terminal? [15:23] if not you can make one [15:23] ZZ1 i am not sure... should be able to find it in the menu's [15:23] ZZ1: no idea but metacity and compiz both support user defined shortcuts [15:24] so you can make one yourself [15:24] mine is ctrl-shift-k [15:24] ok, i run kubuntu so nearly ontopic :) i'm looking for a c++ dev enviroment that can produce code for linux, w32 and osx? does such a critter exist under linux ? g++ ? === sFEARs is now known as Guest94872 [15:24] JackWinter: possible eclipse [15:25] ZZ1: did you say you're running KDE4? [15:25] please tell me how to enable java in openoffice? [15:25] JackWinter: you need a crosscompiler. mingw is a crosscompiler for windows but I don't think there exists one for OSX [15:25] i tried "sudo chown "myusername":users /var/log/mpd/*" [15:25] with no luck [15:25] if my wireless card is enabled. how do i connect to a wireless network from a command line? [15:25] JackWinter: ie. mingw is in debian, so possibly ubuntu has it in universe [15:25] vadim you can either install the gcj package or the sun package. sdk 1.6 or somehting like that.. I suggest the sun package. [15:25] JackWinter: the compiler in linux is always gcc/g++ but in different versions [15:26] sPEARs: iwconfig. read /usr/share/doc/wireless-tools/ [15:26] anything like nvidia-config for ATI cards? [15:26] Demios, you have to add the condition for the permissions. like 700 means that only root has full read/write/x authority === sPEARs is now known as sFEARs [15:26] baudtheif ati-config [15:26] :i have sun-java6-jre installed but Oo doesn't see it [15:26] snarkster: Maybe with a GUI :P [15:26] vadim did you install the control panel as well? [15:26] Does have two OS' on one harddrive slow down performance? [15:27] tj83:, it just generated a text file - don't know what I'm supposed to do [15:27] ekpyrotic: no [15:27] ekpyrotic, no [15:27] Cool, thanks. [15:27] : yes i have it installed - java plugin control panel [15:27] i have to add a 700 condition? [15:28] ZZ1, yes... it is a text file... look for settings like 800x600@60 those are your resolution settings [15:28] vadim and if you run that doe it say that sun is the preferred java app? [15:28] anyone in here with a Z-10 speakers that actually works to turn up and down the volume on [15:28] Hi! Im on the ubuntu live-cd and Im wondering if it will look and behave the same when I've done the install? That is if it can read ntfs-disks directly there too and so on :) [15:29] wawwaweewoo: maybe maybe not. [15:29] : it doesn't say anything - just runs. Or what do you mean, maybe i misunderstood you [15:29] tj83, all it says is "Configured Video Device" and so on - no numbers [15:30] I would have thought the resolution should be able to be changed from a menu option [15:30] If I have two OS' in different partitions will my PC ask me which one to load? Or will it just load the largest/default? [15:30] : so what can I do about it? [15:30] ZZ1, you get my PM? [15:30] how can i set the expiration of the sudo authentication to 0? [15:31] .run file? [15:31] And how to install it? [15:31] ekpyrotic: if it's windows and ubuntu on them it will ask [15:31] ekpyrotic, if the boot loader is configured to provide you with a list of available OS's it will ... or else it will likely run the most recently installed [15:31] vadim open the control panel click java tab at the topclick view in the top half of the screenwhat dies it say in the java runtime settings? [15:33] wawwaweewoo: it will look and behave the same when you've installed it properly.. it will use a bit less memory and be a little faster though [15:33] wawwaweewoo: but there's no difference when it comes to functionality.. yes, you can read/write ntfs disks [15:33] Slart: Excellent :) Last time I had to install ntfs-3g and that messed up my disks a little :p [15:33] it doesn't say anything - just two tabs - user and system with list of java installed [15:33] slart i wasnt sure if the fuse ntfs-3g driver came with it by default [15:34] Hi! [15:34] wawwaweewoo: I can't really remember is ntfs-3g is installed by default or if you have to install it... but it's a quick task even if you have to install it [15:34] vadim hmm thats not right [15:34] dud where's my car?

[15:35] nop. i just goofing around [15:36] : lets do it once again step by step - I open java plugin control center - what then? [15:36] welll i chowned lib the same way [15:36] Z0HAN: can you go do that somewhere else? [15:36] still [15:36] does anyone have the rtl8187b wireless chipset?

I recommend VLC though if a media player is what your after [15:37] polo_: for playing movies? I use vlc, mplayer and smplayer... for audio audacious [15:37] vadim what is the names in the two sections? [15:37] what is this bot person who goes by teh name of ubottu? [15:37] polo_: Just do a simple sudo aptitude install vlc :) [15:37] lihijo: it's a bot.. a program [15:37] what is this? [15:38] Slart, audacious, ok. Thanks! [15:38] : first one - java applet runtime settings, second - java application runtime settings [15:38] i can go right to hardy from dapper with dist-upgrade, right? rather than doing the dapper > edgy > feisty > gutsy > hardy upgrade song and dance? [15:38] wawwaweewoo, i think my ploblem is abaout adio drivers... [15:38] lihijo: it's a program/application/piece of software.. it helps us answer questions we get very often..

They're in a .run package. [15:41] Wow was designed to work fine with wine, so I thought it would run without Cedega [15:41] Kumorigoe: why not use envy instead [15:41] !envyng | Kumorigoe [15:41] Kumorigoe: 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 [15:41] : name - JRE. version - 1.6.0-06, location - /usr/lib/jvm-java-6-sun-1.6.0-06/jre [15:42] Kumorigoe: do not ever install stuff via .run packages. not to mention that way is not supported [15:42] vadim awesome you have the correct java then.. are there anything else listed there?

[15:43] Kumorigoe: neither envy nor that run package will work for you. ubuntu already comes with the proper drive named "ati" [15:43] how can i set the expiration of the sudo authentication to 0?

[16:54] whitedox, indeed [16:54] i dont have a cdrom on this computer...i'm on a little acer aspire one...tiny thing lol [16:54] whoaitsphil: it's got the partition editor installed by default, iirc.. even if it hasn't you can easily install it [16:54] ah. [16:54] whitedox, for i in *.7z; do p7zip -d "$i" && rm "$i"; done [16:55] well.. I'm not familiar enough with the command line tools to guide someone through using them [16:55] eltese; what are the file attributes? [16:55] whitedox, would you like to create a directory for each of the .7z files? [16:55] bastid_raZor: Eh... Theyre drivers for my nvidia graphics card ? :p [16:55] wols_: yes i checked it out but couldnt find a way to fix an error withe the v4l2 [16:55] unop, no. They can all be extracted into the folder they are all currently in [16:55] my other laptop has vista on it and all it recognizes on my thumb drive is a 4mb partition...i tried formatting it but it won't change anything [16:55] good morning everyone. [16:55] bastid_raZor: I followed this http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_169.07.html [16:55] whitedox, cool [16:56] duke3d, do you get any error messages? [16:56] eltech; what is the error you're given when you try to run it? [16:56] duke3d, have you looked in the apache error log? [16:56] bastid_raZor: sh: Can't open NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.07-pkg1.run [16:56] eltese; do you own the file? [16:56] !doesntwork [16:56] Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [16:57] i am using virtual box to emulate windows xp. only problem thus far is that my when i am in the windows screen, not ubuntu, the OS does not recognize my external harddrive connected by USB. how can i get the windows to recognize it? [16:57] eltech; oh, and you'll probably need to run that with sudo. [16:57] junglecrazd1, which version of vbox [16:57] can anyone help me with formatting a 4gb usb thumb drive through the command line terminal? i'm stuck on linpus lite and none of the guides seem to work...i'm tryin to get ubuntu on the thumb drive to boot to it [16:57] bastid_raZor: Ah okey. So I just go "sudo sh run etc [16:57] eltese; yes, try that [16:58] bazhang 1.56 ose [16:58] junglecrazd1, that does not support usb [16:58] ifconfig prints ath0 and wifi0 entries. What interface is ath0 as ooposed to wifi0? [16:58] d$mn [16:58] bastid_raZor: I get the same error message [16:58] eltese: sh -c filename.run [16:59] bazhang: i have some files i want to run on windows: well, what would you suggest i do? [16:59] prince_jammys: Now it says that it cant find the file instead [16:59] eltech, you might want to verify that file.run is actually a shell script before using sh on it [17:00] unop: Mkay, I just followed the guide ^^ Eh how do I verify that? [17:00] junglecrazd1, you could get the version from vbox site as opposed to repos [17:00] eltech, head -n 1 file.run [17:00] unop, its as if php wasnt installed [17:00] eltese, ^^ [17:00] you know.. browser tries to download the php file [17:00] bazhang: i will try again. earlier i couldn't get them to instal properly. thanks though [17:01] duke3d, you haven't setup php to operate on .php files for your particular virtualhost === charlie is now known as Guest76323 [17:01] duke3d, then you've not configured your http server properly [17:01] i didnt configure anything, i just installed lamp via ubuntu [17:01] unop: When I tried that I got this message... head: cannot open `NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.07-pkg1.run' for reading: No such file or directory [17:01] [17:01] unop, lol. Is there a way to cancel the command as it is running? I don't have the p7zip thing installed, and it is going to keep saying "Type apt-get etc etc" 11,337 times [17:02] unop: Is not that I need to cd... to a different dir? The file is on the desktop :p [17:02] whitedox, hold down ctrl+c [17:02] eltese, cd ~/Desktop [17:02] eltese: sh -c ~/Desktop/NVIDIA-blahblahblah [17:02] alright thanks [17:02] i dont get sound with youtube, or myvideo [17:02] what should i do [17:02] i get sound with banshee, and systemsounds [17:02] sh -c ??

[17:03] can someone help me? [17:03] Slart: well, if it's not a shell script ... [17:03] KiDFlaSh: install libflashsupport [17:03] prince_jammys: I've always run the nvidia installers just with sudo sh and that has worked nicely [17:03] sudo apt-get install libflashsupport [17:03] prince_jammys: Now I get permission denied. Even when I try using sudo [17:03] ? [17:04] prince_jammys: I don't know if they've changed anything though [17:04] envyNG is sweet too [17:04] KiDFlaSh: either that or use synaptic [17:04] !errors | devius [17:04] devius: If you have problems or errors, you will need to describe/paste them. Please use the !pastebin for errors that cannot be quoted in a single IRC message [17:04] eltese, sudo chmod +x file.run; sudo ./file.run [17:04] im a noob to ubuntu, this slaughters fedora [17:04] prince_jammys, shouldn't that be.. sh -c ./file.run ? [17:05] unop: why? [17:05] unop: either way you're providing the path [17:05] any idea why the command sudo mkfs.vfat -n 'Label' -l /dev/sdb isn't working? it says command not found... [17:05] prince_jammys, well, sh is going to look for a command to run .. and since file.run isn't a command in $PATH, it would fail [17:05] unop: ~/Desktop... [17:05] thx, it worked [17:05] ifireball, [17:06] it worked:D [17:06] prince_jammys, ahh, my bad [17:06] KiDFlaSh: n/p === GS is now known as Gun_Smoke [17:06] unop: you only need to do that if you don't have sh first.. to run an executable you'd do ./blablabla.sh ... or you can just go sh blablabla.sh [17:06] checking for gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0...

[17:07] Slart, you're just telling me about other ways to skin the same cat .. sh -c /path/to/file works [17:07] ifireball, you now why i can only regulate the PCM sound and not the master?

[17:08] eltese, well, define "didn't work" .. what did it do or not do, etc [17:08] ı install kafeine +kaffeine-sc-plugin-0.4.0-deb [17:08] soundray, i tried that one too and it doesn't work...the device is already partitioned somehow into a 4mb fat and a 1gb ext3...its a 4gb thumb drive i just wanna get it back to normal so i can put the ubuntu image on it and boot to it...i'm stuck on linpus lite right now [17:08] how ı edit cccam.cfg [17:08] someone help me real quick with installing libraries?

[17:09] whoaitsphil: it might be better to use gparted to do both the partitioning and the filesystem creation. In any case, I would recommend partitioning before you format. [17:09] KiDFlaSh: right-click the volume control -> preferences [17:10] anyone know how to set a static ip for a tap0 device for openvpn? [17:10] lol [17:10] eltese; those commands should have run the file with out problem. it seems as if the file you have is either incomplete or corrupt. can you download it again? [17:10] soundray, how would i go about that? what exactly should i partition? i mean its already partitioned and i want it to just be one disk [17:10] unop: it says filename. not found [17:10] then i can control the sound [17:10] how ı edit cccam.cfg [17:10] bastid_raZor: yeah sure [17:10] the PCM sound [17:10] eltese; thenyou're typing something wrong. [17:10] hmm [17:10] wols_: this is the error i get after configuring my webcam with easycam -> cheese http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=d6dcedadb [17:10] I am running Ubuntu Desktop 8.0.4 in VMWare on a Mac. How do I mount a network drive in Terminal? [17:10] eltese, as bastid_raZor said. [17:11] eltese: replace 'filename' with the actual filename. [17:11] rockyrock === Gerrath is now known as svolpe [17:11] whoaitsphil: then you want to replace the existing partitions with a single primary one. It will then be called /dev/sdb1 (and that's what you want to format) [17:11] eltese; what are you typing? [17:11] jcarter: is is SMB or NFS or something else? [17:11] master_ what? [17:11] bastid_raZor: sh -c NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.07-pkg1.run [17:12] eltese; are you in the same directory as the file? [17:12] soundray, i can't get gparted on this laptop right now though and the only other computer i have access to it windows vista... [17:12] bastid_raZor: and Im on ~desktop [17:12] ı install kaffine +kaffeine-sc-plugin-0.4.0-deb [17:12] eltese, sh -c ~/Desktop/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.07-pkg1.run [17:12] work kaffine === Gerrath is now known as svolpe [17:12] unop: I get permission denied [17:12] but ı how edti cccam.cfg plugin file [17:12] eltese; use sudo [17:13] phillpedison189: I wish I knew. It shows up in Places. [17:13] is it on a Linux or Windows machine? [17:13] eltese, sudo chmod +x ~/Desktop/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.07-pkg1.run; sudo ~/Desktop/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.07-pkg1.run [17:13] whoaitsphil: it's not a necessity, just more convenient. You can use cfdisk or fdisk to wipe out the partitions and create a new one. Make sure you start them with the correct device, e.g. 'sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb' [17:13] master_ i know that kaffine is for KDE [17:13] phillipedison189: it is on a Mac machine. [17:13] pls rocky private chat me [17:14] soundray, thanks a bunch...didn't know that existed [17:14] unop: That did it! [17:14] unop: Thanks =) [17:14] hold on...

[17:15] jcarter: don't know anything about appletalk, cant help... [17:15] let me see if I can find something for you [17:15] phillipedison189: Thanks. [17:15] hi.. I have an odd problem, Samba is working just fine, ppl on the network can see and access my pc and files, however, I can't see any windows PCs in Network, however, my pc is online. I can't even reach anyone with smb://192.168.x.x/ any ideas on how to browse the pcs? [17:16] ı klick private chat but not open [17:16] prince_jammys, hmm yea .. happens a lot here .. just out of curiosity .. why the sh -c ? === Merril is now known as Zephyr [17:16] how ı open private chat [17:16] phillipedison189: but it really doesn´t have anything to do with Appletalk. gnucash is running in VMWARE on the Mac, so all the drives on the Mac look like network drives to Ubuntu. [17:16] unop, not a real big issue here, but it is printing that it cannot remove any of the 7z files. I mean, it is still extracting them, just after every one it is saying "rm: cannot remove `filename.7z': No such file or directory". But like I said, its not too big of an issue, as I can just open the folder later and organize by filetype and highlight them and delete them....just letting you know. lol [17:16] unop: because i suspected a non shell script [17:16] can't boot from Ubuntu CD on Vista! [17:16] and internet is too slow today to check for answers on a forum. Any help? [17:16] accocie, set in bios to look for cd first [17:17] unop: and that would do it without changing the file perms [17:17] jcarter: have you got the vmware tools installed in the Ubuntu vm? [17:17] prince_jammys, hmm [17:17] accocie, check ur boot priority and make sure cdrom is set higher than ur hard disk [17:17] How to I share a folder with samba? [17:17] unop: hmm is right. maybe not [17:17] help: my usb devices are not being detected. Ubuntu 8.04 [17:17] soundray: All vmware tools installed. [17:17] sharperguy, just rightclick and share.. try it [17:17] whitedox, perhaps p7zip -d deletes the original .7z file after extraction. [17:18] speedhunt3r, It's saying I don't have permission [17:18] prince_jammys, yea. echo 'echo foo' > foo; sh -c ./foo [17:18] unop, so you think it is still deleting them, just it is trying to delete it twice? [17:18] sharperguy, are you the owner of the folder? [17:18] speedhunt3r, yes [17:19] jcarter: you can then mount the host filesystem via hgfs -- much faster than network filesharing [17:19] wols_: this is the error i get after configuring my webcam with easycam -> cheese http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=d6dcedadb [17:19] unop: yep, it would still have to be chmodded, but at least would run if it wasn't a shell script. [17:19] soundray: how? [17:19] jcarter: I'll need a minute to dig it out [17:19] sharperguy, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 this is a great guide, step by step [17:20] unop: ie. a waste of time. you're right, sh -c not necessary [17:20] unop: Yeah your gonna love this. I forgot the command line you used /: The installation just quit on me. Im terribly sorry :( [17:20] How can I make xchat stop showing join/part messages? I need a solution which persists across sessions. Ideas? [17:20] speedhunt3r, ok - what happened to the old dialog for it in preferences? [17:20] whitedox, well, the rm is failing but p7zip is succeeding .. which leads me to believe that p7zip removes the .7z file [17:20] duncan-nz, right click the channel name and uncheck [17:20] eltese, sudo ~/Desktop/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.07-pkg1.run [17:20] sharperguy, i think they removed it to make it easier just to right click > sharing.. [17:20] bazhang, that setting doesn't persist. but thanks. [17:20] speedhunt3r, and that guide is for 6.06 (I'm running the latest version) [17:21] jcarter: or, if you just want to 'mount localhost:/sharename /targetdir', you can do that [17:21] ı have ubunutu 8.04 [17:21] ı install kafeine +kaffeine-sc-plugin-0.4.0-deb [17:21] how ı edit cccam.cfg [17:21] ı need help [17:21] my usb devices are not being detected, ubuntu 8.04. can someone help me ? [17:21] master_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:21] hey Slart, are you there? [17:21] sharperguy, works for 8.04 [17:21] blame: sure [17:21] hi [17:21] sharperguy, you just need to configure up to samba.conf and then restart samba, then try sharing [17:21] jcarter: you need a line like ".host:/ /mnt/hgfs vmhgfs defaults,ttl=5 0 0' in /etc/fstab. VMware tools installation normally sets that up for you. [17:21] soundray: when I use Places to browse Network Servers, the Mac shows up along with all other machines that are in my local network. [17:22] speedhunt3r, it's not exactly easier though is it [17:22] sharperguy, don't need to follow the entire guide. [17:22] speedhunt3r, never had to do any of this before though [17:22] jcarter: you can mount those, too, but direct mounting is faster and more reliable [17:22] soundray: I do have /mnt/hgfs, but nothing there. [17:22] hello [17:22] http://pastebin.com/d5f3972fe [17:22] unop: The installer prompts me too quit X. But if I do an ctrl-alt-backspace the installer quits. [17:22] jcarter: what about the line in /etc/fstab? [17:22] sharperguy, me either..but i had to sit down for 5 minutes and then everything was working [17:22] unop: what can i say, been up for too long .... [17:22] I would like help with ubuntu in virtual box! [17:23] Please [17:23] How can I make xchat stop showing join/part messages? I need a solution which persists across sessions. Ideas? [17:23] thomas_, what's the problem [17:23] ok so i'm stuck on linpus lite and i've got a 200gb external usb drive i'm trying to get some files off of but linpus lite won't mount a ntfs drive? any way to get that mounted? [17:23] Slart: I've done some work on the sed script, fixed space issue and added some stuff. Take a peep and give it a try if you want: http://paste.ubuntu.com/38259/ [17:23] I need ubuntu to resize [17:23] thomas_, what is the issue with vbox [17:23] eltese, you have to run this from a console then. ctrl + alt + f1 to get to VT1 .. run the command .. return to X, ctrl +alt + f7 .. quit X, etc [17:23] soundray: not in /etc/fstab. I´ll add and see what happens. [17:23] whoaitsphil: this is not the best channel to ask for help with any other distribution than Ubuntu [17:23] The resution [17:24] ı have ubunutu 8.04 [17:24] ı install kafeine +kaffeine-sc-plugin-0.4.0-deb [17:24] how ı edit cccam.cfg [17:24] ı need help [17:24] master_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:24] prince_jammys, happens to all of us from time to time :) [17:24] thomas_, that's not something ubuntu does. you need the extensions set for virtual box... [17:24] soundray, sorry...i'm trying to get ubuntu on this laptop but am running into all these obstacles [17:24] jcarter: when you've added it, you should run 'sudo mount /mnt/hgfs' [17:24] whoaitsphil: but you can try to install the nfts-3g packages for your dirtro [17:24] distro, srry [17:24] whoaitsphil, how about a usb install [17:24] unop: right around now, it might happen to me most of the time ;) [17:24] blame: looks nice.. it works alright? [17:24] my usb devices are not being detected. I'm runing ubuntu 8.04 [17:24] thomas_, have a look on the doc wiki: help.ubuntu.com I'm sure there's some good explanaiton there. [17:24] http://pastebin.com/d5f3972fe [17:24] whoaitsphil: why don't you install ubuntu first, and then get those files from the USB drive? [17:24] thomas_, just say if you have trouble finding what you need there. [17:25] Slart: yup, works great. Try it. [17:25] wow, no screwing around for java either, it just works, i love this distro, im in heaven [17:25] soundray, tis the aspire one; mini netbook with no optical [17:25] zephyr: which usb devices are a problem?

[17:26] I want to download a torrent using Transmission client. I enter file name in search box, hit Enter and nothing happens, what am I missing? [17:26] Slart: right, thanks for the heads up. It sure is working great now. [17:26] speedhunt3r, All I had to do was relog :) [17:26] Phillipedison: right now i have an 80 GB hard drive connected to the usb port [17:27] unop, it did delete the 7z files.

[17:41] devius: then the question is: what was different on ubuntu [17:41] erm, on kubuntu [17:41] unop: Yeah so now the installer executed ok but then it said that my Kernel wasnt precompiled and that it had to download it and then it also complained about me having no lib (i think?) header :p [17:41] wols_: ubuntu => fully updated [17:41] soundray: why would a ntfs partition be a full disk? windows really really doesn't like that [17:41] phillipedison189: thing i cant run terminal [17:41] wols_: kubuntu => live cd released in 2007 [17:41] soundray, unknown filesystem type 'ntfs' [17:41] devius: doesn#t answer the question...

[19:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about anyone < d0wn [19:05] !anyone d0wn [19:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about anyone d0wn [19:05] Hi I have a newer computer and I have an old linux computer upstairs on the network and I want to copy those files to this one over the network what do i need to do? [19:05] Tux2K81: not really. not on a journalled drive [19:05] wols_: whats the name of the file again plz [19:05] what is the cd-rom line on sources.list [19:05] mom_: tar up the files you want to transfer and use ftp to transfer the tarball. [19:05] mom_: You need to start by setting up your new computer to access that network. [19:06] mom_: Then it should just be a matter of copying from one to the other. [19:06] hellues: you can just uncheck it in system-admin-software sources [19:06] wols_, I'm trying to look for help, not a smartass. [19:06] hellues, just type. sudo apt-cdrom # at a terminal if you want to add another CD-Rom as a repo. [19:06] what is system-admin-software-sources [19:06] d0wn, please dont use that language here [19:06] d0wn: this kind of behaviour doesn't get you any help [19:06] ubottu, IndyGunFreak: ok i 'll check that out [19:06] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:06] unop, [19:06] !patience [19:06] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [19:06] aproximately how many kilowatts doe subuntu use? [19:06] i guess 6.06 doesnt have apt-cdrom [19:06] wols_: whats the name of the file again plz [19:07] unop: its the first partition on the 4th physical disk [19:07] !Info apt-cdrom [19:07] wols_: wan't succe [19:07] MXIIA: um, what? [19:07] Error4o4: do you have 4 actual disks in your PC? [19:07] damn. the you need to do it manually. man sources.lsit [19:07] hellues, hmm [19:07] bazhang, soundray: Well, he's kind of right. Using the term "anyone" is kind of a reflex and shouldn't block someone from getting answers. [19:07] wols_: yes [19:07] hellues: whats dat supposed to mean [19:07] MXIIA: 0.01 kW on mine [19:07] Reformer81, the problem is the language/attitude [19:07] MXIIA: power consumption depends on your hardware. [19:07] Reformer81: OT again. and all anyone questions simply waste time. and spam the channel [19:07] Reformer81, i cannot see the network in network places [19:08] but, in general it is less than Windows uses right? [19:08] bazhang: No, I know that now... but wols_ was trying to use the !anyone bot response on him :P [19:08] devedse, [19:08] MXIIA: no [19:08] Reformer81, lets drop it please [19:08] MXIIA: in general power consumption has very little to do with your OS [19:08] wols_: hey man what is the name of the file again [19:08] Alright, I'm done... just trying to lend a voice to theunderdog here :) [19:08] http://pastebin.com/m6371db0d : i cant seem to get conspire to compile [19:08] i just upgrade my system from 6.06 to 8.04 by using 8.04 cd [19:08] MXIIA: stress on the _very_ little [19:08] anyone know the easiest way to get ubuntu to redetect all partitions and generate the appropriate grub setup? [19:09] alexjones: Reinstalling grub [19:09] Alltray isn't putting any icons in my notification area. Help? [19:09] My auto-mount of CF-cards stopped working, attaching a CF-card still generates the expected kernel logs in /var/log/messages, but /media is unchanged. What should I look for ? [19:09] Reformer81: that won't generate the correct grub config [19:09] reform: apt-get remove grub; apt-get install grub? [19:09] Ok, I read an article saying ubuntu took up less energy than windows... wanted to see if it was true [19:09] alexjones: That's the ONLY way I know of... and it's not incredibly easy. [19:09] shouldnt i be able to see the other computers on my local network in network places? [19:09] alexjones: purging not just removing [19:09] MXIIA: both operating systems offer roughly equivalent power saving features nowadays [19:09] does someone have experience on dvd authoring with linux ? i was just trying to find a software that could do the job as well as the GUI for dvdauthor in Windows [19:09] unop: I tried both sudo depmod -a and sudo modprobe fglrx... not working. [19:09] mom_: What OS are you trying to find it from? [19:09] zerubuntu, not working means what exactly? [19:10] wols_: i need your help here [19:10] Reformer81, hardy heron 8.04 lts [19:10] i wanna gain the audio from a movie, is that possible for ubuntu? any suggestion here? [19:10] mom_: So both systems are running Ubuntu? [19:10] Kelen: Look into dvd rippers. [19:10] when i type in sudo modprobe fglrx, i get this error: Not loading fglrx module; not used in /etc/X11/xorg.conf === cshadowrun is now known as CShadowRun [19:10] jhattara, what do you mean [19:10] Kelen: It is possible, but I can't remember the exact name of the program I've used in the past. [19:10] Reformer81, well one other is running ubuntu and the old one is running debian [19:10] ive made dvds fine w/ dvdauthor in ubuntu [19:10] http://pastebin.com/m6371db0d : i cant seem to get conspire to compile, ive installed what i think are all pre-required apps [19:10] I don't know a proper way of asking the question without using "anyone", as I need someone who has experience with what I asked [19:11] Faust-C, but i couldn't find any good GUIs for it [19:11] MXIIA - That's a very very broad statement - Ubuntu by default does use a lot less ram and cpu than most windows OS's, but the key of ubuntu is that you only have the programs you need/want running, running. Also, the package system means ubuntu can use the same library for multiple programs, saving space [19:11] jhattara, you dont need gui its simple [19:11] unop: sudo depmod -a takes the command and returns me to the prompt. [19:11] d0wn, what is the issue; please ask with some clarity [19:11] RequinB4: what has space to do with power? [19:11] d0wn: the problem isn't the word 'anyone'. it's asking a question that is a prelude to the real question. [19:11] wols_: r u gonna help me [19:11] d0wn: you could also describe your problem, which is usually what attracts expert answers. [19:11] RequinB4: thats not true either [19:11] hmm [19:11] Reformer81, the old one wasnt fast enough for ubuntu [19:11] how do I "disable" sftp so my ftp will work [19:11] wols_: " you only have the programs you need/want running, running" [19:12] Reformer81: well, so, i need the name of program.. thanks anyway. [19:12] mom_: And the new one can access the network just fine, but you can't see the Debian system? [19:12] underandy, sftp is um 'better' [19:12] ikonia: ? [19:12] RequinB4: that is so utterly wrong, words defy me [19:12] wols_: i need the name of the log file again [19:12] RequinB4: definitely NOT in a ubuntu desktop install [19:12] RequinB4: "ubuntu will use a lot less memory and cpu than windows" [19:12] Faust-C, is it also simple when you do DVDs with detailed menus including possibly animations and intros, sometimes some submenus, and stuff like that ? [19:12] RequinB4: your argument has little to do with actual power use [19:12] Faust-C: sftp is ssh [19:12] how do I figure out the hd# to /dev/[device] mappings so I can configure grub correctly? [19:12] Reformer81, it found the network printer ok [19:12] Kelen: I told you they're called "dvd rippers" Search for those with Synaptic or Add/Remove. [19:12] Faust-C: it seems [19:12] ok, maybe i'm ignorant, but you can remove whatever you want to make it lighter... [19:12] soundray: little? nothing! [19:12] mom_: Hmm... you may need to setup Debian to be visible. [19:12] underandy, its ftp just secure [19:12] alexjones: check your BIOS [19:12] that's all i was trying to say [19:12] mom_: Unfortunately, I don't really do much networking like that here. [19:13] jhattara, i havent seen a app like that in linux [19:13] Faust-C: nope, its ssh, i figured it out ;:S [19:13] Reformer81, ubuntu isnt either [19:13] wols_: y arent you answering me??? [19:13] Faust-C: how can i disable ssh-s sftp? [19:13] devius, what is the issue [19:13] underandy, man sshd [19:13] ikonia - this probably is off topic, but i'm pretty sure i read ubuntu uses less ram... [19:13] alexjones, http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Installing-GRUB-using-grub_002dinstall.html [19:13] jhattara: There aren't any usable Linux apps that do that. [19:13] Alltray isn't putting any icons in my notification area. Help? [19:13] wols_: you could argue on a theoretical basis... [19:13] looks like i'll have to continue using my XP laptop for authoring DVDs :( [19:13] hey sup [19:13] RequinB4: no it doesnm't [19:13] doesn't [19:13] how do i get the latest unstable release of Ubuntu? [19:13] wols: yeah, but I have an add-in card that extends the number of disks I have... I've got 6 in one system [19:13] jhattara: One of the two reasons I still need to dual boot Windows :) [19:13] jhattara, idk i just make dvds to watch, dont need anything fancy [19:13] soundray: I could argue about how many angels fit on a needle's tip too [19:13] Faust-C: maybe its called scp [19:13] not being able to have any success loading a driver for a video cardATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] [19:13] #ubuntu+1 sidewalk [19:13] wols: default bios doesn't know, although the boot currently works.. just need to add one more thing [19:13] bazhang: wols wants a log file on pastebin but he dosent tell me about [19:14] sidewalk: If you need to ask that, you probably shouldn't be running an unstable version :) [19:14] ! download [19:14] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Hardy, and help keeping the servers' load low! [19:14] underandy, no thats something different [19:14] Reformer81, i think i gave the debian one a domain name when i set it up, ubuntu didnt ask me for one during install [19:14] underandy, sudo apt-get remove openssh-server.. or sudo /etc/init.d/ssh stop [19:14] alexjones, also http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Installing-GRUB-natively.html [19:14] devius, just ask the channel not one user [19:14] !java [19:14] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [19:14] alexjones: BIOS always knows. you not being able to decipher its messages doesn't invalidate that [19:14] wols_: for example, if a drive is spun down, and RAM usage necessitates swapping, causing the drive to spin up, power usage goes up. [19:14] devius, if someone knows they will answer [19:14] bazhang: i asked and he seems to know but dosent want to answer ? [19:14] wols: bios does not always know, because there are ROM extensions on third party add-n cars. [19:14] Reformer81: and why is that? [19:14] soundray: ubuntu and XP use a bout the same amount of RAM. 256 is doable but bad, 512 is OK. Vista is different but not XP [19:15] add-in cards, that is [19:15] Faust-C, eyecandy is sometimes nice, and if i can get the job running properly with a GUI in 5 minutes it's hardly worth the effort to learn to do simpler things at a slower pace [19:15] devius, that is his choice. please just ask the channel and not one user. [19:15] sidewalk: Because it's very unstable and would most likely break pretty easily. [19:15] alexjones: it does. because you tell BIOS from what to boot first: PCI or inbuilt. end of it [19:15] bazhang: k [19:15] jhattara, .... ok..... [19:15] wols_: I wasn't replying to that part of the argument [19:15] sidewalk: And since the developement versions are available on the website, I would imagine if you knew much about Ubuntu, you'd have already found them :) [19:15] basically my minimum requirements would be the ability to multiplex audio-video (not a necessity), add menus with images as buttons, and subtitles [19:16] ppl could you help me with my intel driver because the graphics suuuuuucks a lot [19:16] jhattara: Unfortunately, you're going to have to use Windows for that. [19:16] devius, what card model and number [19:16] jhattara: The Linux community doesn't see a need for such polish :P [19:16] lol [19:16] yep just burn and watch [19:16] ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] [19:17] how can i find the busId ?

[19:17] mnk0: 02:00.0 [19:17] this is the full line, so is busID 02:0:0 ? [19:17] mnk0: but why do you want busid? do you have more than one vga? [19:17] no [19:17] just 1 [19:17] mnk0: then it's irrelevant [19:17] ohh [19:18] too bad, making stuff easier would attract more users, i'm myself pretty decent with computers, but there are still some stuff with linux that is a bit too hard [19:18] well theres an obboard vga [19:18] also, but im not using, tryin to setup the pci [19:18] bazhang: yup, they appear installed [19:18] err ago [19:18] agp [19:18] hi [19:18] Hi there, I have a multimonitor desktop where my leftmost monitor is smaller than my middle monitor. I'm having problems where icons placed on the desktop will "disappear" into the unviewable area in the top left corner ... any ideas?? [19:18] !hi [19:18] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

[19:19] oh haha nvm [19:20] but that diddnt work [19:20] My auto-mount of CF-cards stopped working, attaching a CF-card still generates the expected kernel logs in /var/log/messages, but /media is unchanged. What should I look for ? [19:20] mnk0: I mean what I told you [19:20] dru: does unplugging them help? [19:20] thats what i tryed [19:20] wols_: ok.. lol [19:20] isnt that what you mean? [19:20] thanks i'll try [19:21] bazhang: 1280*800 my graphics sice installation is really bad, as in -> 1) movie playback (with dropped frames) 2) moving the windows around (isnt smooth) 3) gaming (is impossible) In general i need it working properly [19:21] hi all [19:21] I'm a novice here [19:21] Super dumb problem I have here, but I can't seem to mount my windoze drive. I did it once, but totally forgot how to do it, and I can't seem to find a guide... [19:21] Hi! How do I get My refreshrate straightened out?

I am connection as "sftp" to my server and its seems like I am connected as scp, because I am using the ssh port [19:22] thanks [19:23] bazhang: movie player and MPlayer [19:23] devius, only with divx? [19:23] Ok, i'm sorry if this is offtopic again but i had to look it up - vista requires 512MB RAM and 20GB HDD (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/get/system-requirements.aspx) and for GUI default ubuntu desktop requires 384MB RAM and 8GB HDD (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements) [19:24] bazhang: no with any file [19:24] RequinB4, what is your question [19:24] bazhang: nothing, there was a discussion earleir [19:25] RequinB4, this is not the place for that discussion. [19:25] RequinB4: the discussion was about XP, not Vista. [19:25] have anyone had the problem that when running the "install inside windows" function, you get the error: "Could not access cd, please make sure other applications are not using it..." and know how to fix it? [19:25] Does somebody know how I can fix the hz problem? [19:25] devius, are you using compiz? [19:25] i got a problem: i just created a live usb stick with 7.10 and now my ipw2200 isn't recognised by the system ... i can't even switch it on with the hardware button on my notebook (HP NX8220) [19:26] eltese: specify the refresh rate in your xorg.conf [19:26] eltese.did you install the video_driver right? [19:26] bazhang: yes but it dosent want to function, it defaults to no effects [19:26] devius, hang on let me check something [19:26] aste_23: does it get listed when you run 'lspci'? [19:26] I changed my GNOME theme recently, and now whenever I try to launch Alltray it gives me the error "** ERROR:(gnome_theme.c:207):parse_theme: assertion failed: (content)". Then Alltray dies, but the program it was launching continues to start... without any window, nor entry in the taskbar, so I have to kill it in the system monitor. I'd like to get Alltray working again, help please? [19:26] Is it possible to increase the power output of WiFi cards? (I have a broadcom wlan card..) [19:26] prince_jammys: ok, i feel stupid now, my bad [19:27] unop: hi you there ? [19:27] RequinB4: don't ;) [19:27] OK... Alltray still works with the Human theme. My new theme seems to be causing it trouble. Feh. [19:28] does ubuntu have a couchdb .deb? [19:28] CarlF1: is that the bigtable clone? [19:28] minus198: it's possible (with some drivers), but not sensible. After all, your receive sensitivity won't go up along with the transmit power. [19:28] is there an easy way to remove grub from hd3,0 ? [19:28] ekimus: not sure - just learned abuot it [19:29] soundray: no it doesnt get listed there [19:29] CarlF1: i know about hadoop and hbase if it is that (which are both quite self contained afaik) [19:29] so it seems ubuntu goes through and sets all user directories to 700 anyone know where this is happening as for a web server that is kind of lame if people have ~/public_html [19:29] Error4o4: edit the grub?? [19:29] is there a way of changing my user name without redoing the entire account? [19:29] aste_23: then it's a hardware issue, or it may be turned off in the BIOS. The easiest way to turn it on may be to reboot and hit the WLAN button before the kernel boots. [19:30] /ns set accountname [19:30] i'll give it a try [19:30] mom_: use command /nick [19:30] i meant in ubuntu [19:30] would it be legal to use the Ubuntu logo on a business card? [19:31] oh sorry [19:31] mom_: you can do that with 'usermod -l'. Please read 'man usermod', so you know the implications. [19:31] lwizardl: I believe it under the Creative Commons license, which means you can use it, but there are restrictions. The Ubuntu website does have information on the use of its logo. [19:32] bazhang: you there [19:32] devius, you still there?

[19:41] vegombrei: you should make sure that none of the partitions on the drive are mounted [19:41] http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showpost.php?s=20219e823d40782738c30a103d5ed5c0&p=5015766&postcount=11 devius check this post (11) and the next (12) [19:42] soundray: they're not [19:42] Yahoo__: what do you mean by "nothing else appears"?

You should run 'gksudo gparted' when you want to make changes [19:43] soundray, yea I do. I also ran 'update-java-alternatives -l' and selected 'update-java-alternatives -l' and still no joy [19:43] sorry Im pretty new to linux still, I just installed kubuntu yesterday I managed to get my video working, now i just need sound [19:43] oops [19:43] SmokeEater85911: laptop?

[19:45] linduxed so what are the steps to take, first uninstall adobe's? [19:45] Yahoo__: you should really ask before you do that [19:45] dorito: try the official mozilla build of firefox - i use that, and it's very stable with flash. [19:45] Hey is anyone good with mythtv? For some reason when I tell it to scan for channels it crashes [19:45] dorito: good start [19:45] vegombrei: by editing /boot/grub/menu.lst [19:45] therealnanotube, hm?

[19:45] What's the wine channels name? [19:46] zelrikriando: i mean, mozilla build from mozilla.org, not the build from the repos. [19:46] Hey I have a problem with Linux Mint but it doesn't have much of a forum or irc user group so I hope I can get help here... Okay I've got Linux Mint 5 (the main version, R1) running dual-boot with XP on an HP Pavilion desktop (onboard graphics) and an Acer monitor (20"). [19:46] Now my problem is that whenever I try to put Linux in sleep/standby, it wakes up as soon as it falls asleep, and the display gets all weird -- like the screen shows up at normal res and colors and all but it keeps jumping sideways and back. How do I fix this? (Also how do I make it so it doesn't ask for a password upon wake up?) [19:46] nm [19:46] zelrikriando: look here: ubuntuzilla.sourceforge.net [19:46] therealnanotube isnt it the same version? [19:46] soundray: whats ext2 and ext3 ? what should be my new partition on the secondary drive ? [19:46] suddenly my vlc stopped playing audio.. any idea how to fix it? [19:46] !mint [19:46] 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 [19:46] inv1, ^^ [19:46] dorito: same version, but different build options, and no ubuntu-specific code changes. see ubuntuzilla.sourceforge.net for details (and an easy way to install mozilla build) [19:46] How to install packages which are necessary to compile a program? I forgot how to do it... [19:46] vegombrei: ext3 (that's for 'second extended filesystem with journalling') [19:46] bazhang: this major problem is not only affecting playback its global [19:47] bazhang: and still with vlc [19:47] therealnanotube, so I should uninstall firefox from ubuntu first? [19:47] bazhang: big problem [19:47] vegombrei: use ext3, unless you want windows to read that partition (in which case you're stuck with fat32 or ntfs) [19:47] Lunks, you could try synaptic package manager [19:47] devius, is it freezing at times? [19:47] ok done .. formatting .. === CShadowRun is now known as cshadowrun [19:47] zelrikriando: no. it coexists with it, so leave itbe. ubuntuzilla will use the plugins from the ubuntu version, so don't remove it. [19:47] Would anyone be able to help me to get an Epson (SC 680) USB printer working? [19:47] speedhunt3r: hmm I'd rather use apt-get (just console on that computer) [19:48] bazhang: yes and its colour quality is very bad [19:48] soundray: how do i remove the options for the older ubuntu versions when i boot my pc ? [19:48] bazhang: shows detoriaration [19:48] how can i "sync" my /home/user folder with /home/web? [19:48] can anyone help me? my vlc player has stopped playing audio [19:48] Vegombrei edit /boot/menu.list [19:48] vegombrei: by removing the outdated kernel packages. Example: 'sudo apt-get purge linux-image-2.6.24-18' [19:48] speedhunt3r: do other players play audio ok? is it just vlc, or all of them? [19:49] vegombrei: correction 'sudo apt-get purge linux-image-2.6.24-18-generic' [19:49] Soundray's idea would be better though. [19:49] therealnanotube, yes everything else is fine, just vlc for some reason [19:49] mplayer can't open my sound device, though "lsof /dev/snd/*" yields nothing any other tips? [19:49] speedhunt3r: it's build-dep [19:49] How do I check the version of the browser plugin for Java? [19:49] how can i "sync" my /home/user folder with /home/web?

How do I fix this? (Also how do I make it so it... [19:50] ...doesn't ask for a password upon wake up?) [19:50] therealnanotube, the thing is, it was working fine for months, since i've installed it... i have no idea why it just kaput on me [19:50] sorry some website made my system crash...

Does anyone know why? [20:14] eraldo: grab the scroll bar and drag it up? [20:14] therealnanotube: ..I was sure I had, but actually, setting that to format as html makes it work. Huh. [20:15] therealnanotube: Well, thanks. *blink* [20:15] Baughn: well, glad i could be of help :) [20:15] eraldo: do you have the scrollbar enabled? [20:15] <_2> IndyGunFreak i didn't say he was. don't assume. i am still using dapper. and as to why, dialup. and dapper is still supported so why not use it? [20:15] Are there any ubuntu programs that can to virus/spyware checks on your drive with Windows on it to quarentine/delete Windows viruses? [20:15] _2: do what you want.. but its dated at best.

Package libdvdcss2 is not available, but is referred to by another package. [20:16] <_2> IndyGunFreak heh. i hove absolutely no problem with using 10 year old software if it works.

[20:17] nikre: That might not help [20:17] I have to install windows vista for school, but i dont want to format my whole harddrive for it. [20:17] Can somebody please help me? My cdrom is mounting very slow (7 minutes), it doesn't automount, and it can't seem to burn an image to a blank cd. [20:17] at least 5 yrs old [20:17] How can i install vista in a dualboot with linux? [20:17] therealnanotube: that's a real ugly solution if the german layout is used :( [20:17] nikre: It should work, basically. If it doesn't.. [20:17] Chrizz_, What? You have got to be kidding me? [20:17] vegombrei: Ty [20:17] i get this error : "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: no element "gconfaudiosink"" [20:17] nikre: Don't suppose I could ask you to get a real sound card? You'll get much better sound, realy [20:17] Chrizz_: what kind of school requires you to install windows vista? and... well, if you really gotta, put it into a virtual machine. use vmware or virtualbox [20:17] Sitherae: anytime bro [20:17] im looking at installing ubuntu 6.06 on old hardware ... will this release work on a system with y2k incompatible bios? [20:17] Chrizz_, Can you try a VM with VirtualBox [20:18] eraldo: well... i think it may be possible to modify the kb shortcuts screen uses. haven't done it myself, but look in the docs. [20:18] nikre: Besides that, try looking for interesting messages in dmesg [20:18] therealnanotube: I tried it on virtualbox and vmware, but its not really what im looking for. We have to do heavy video editing etc [20:18] actually i'm planning to go to another distribution, that works [20:18] Can somebody please help me? My cdrom is mounting very slow (7 minutes), it doesn't automount, and it can't seem to burn an image to a blank cd. [20:18] therealnanotube: okay,.. thank's for the fast help ! [20:18] what a crappy school if they actually require Vista, unless maybe it is a programming class and you need to use it for testing [20:18] i need to get libdvdcss2 .. i cant seem to get it from medibuntu [20:18] Sylphid: not sure, but i bet you could try a livecd and see what happens. [20:18] therealnanotube: So this will check for WINDOWS viruses/spywware aswell? [20:18] eraldo: np, good luck :) [20:18] ThreeFinity: buy a new one [20:19] Chrizz_, What video software? You should use XP for video editing [20:19] <_2> Chrizz_ just drop the recovery/install disk in and install it. then reinstall linux "cause windows ate it..." as a dual boot install the normal way. [20:19] the drive is fine [20:19] therealnanotube, do you happen to know if it is a 2.4 kernel or 2.6 [20:19] will try to fix this first tho [20:19] works perfect in windows, and worked perfect to install ubuntu [20:19] Sitherae: yes, it will check for all viruses (basically, just windows viruses, since there are practically no linux viruses :) ) [20:19] Chrizz_, well actually Mac for FCP, which imo is better [20:19] Chrizz_: dual-boot, then. [20:19] does anyone know what I would have to type to redirect output to my printer ? something like this? > "dmesg | print" ? [20:19] I know mac owns in video editing, but i dont own a mac. [20:19] therealnanotube: ^__^ thanks [20:19] i need to access packages.ubuntu.com/hardy but it is not working. can anyone tell me why or where there is an alternate mirror perhaps? [20:19] Sylphid: look on packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/ [20:19] Chrizz_, What software do you need to install? [20:19] Also, i dont want reinstall linux, because yea. idk [20:20] I strongly hate Adobe Premiere [20:20] Elijah__: Adobe premiere [20:20] yuk [20:20] I feel sorry for you! [20:20] Vista and Premiere, what a nightmare [20:20] Does anyone know how I need to name my .deb so that this doesnt happen. mythvideo depends on libmyth-0.21-0 (>= 0.21.0+fixes16838); however: Version of libmyth-0.21-0 on system is 0.21.0~fixes16838-0ubuntu3.2. The original version was 0.21.0~fixes16838-0ubuntu3.1 [20:20] therealnanotube, ok it seems to crash less but still [20:20] You should go for XP and Vegas [20:20] final cut pro is better than premiere :) [20:20] therealnanotube, how can I check the version of flash [20:20] on a dual boot [20:20] i need to get libdvdcss2 .. i cant seem to get it from medibuntu [20:20] vegombrei: why can't you get it from medibuntu? [20:21] zelrikriando: well, what kind of flash sites are you using? i barely ever see any crashing... but then again, i also use flashblock extension (recommended!), and only enable flash i really want to see :) [20:21] School wants us to use adobe premiere. They bought whole lisences for it [20:21] zelrikriando: about:plugins [20:21] Chrizz_, That was a silly admin decision [20:21] vegombrei: http://download.videolan.org/pub/libdvdcss/1.2.9/deb/libdvdcss2_1.2.9-1_i386.deb [20:21] SO there is NO way to install vista without destroying XP [20:21] Can somebody please help me? My cdrom is mounting very slow (7 minutes), it doesn't automount, and it can't seem to burn an image to a blank cd.

[20:22] Well, have fun on that journey, I will shut up now! [20:22] Chrizz_: sure you can - triple-boot, xp, vista, linux :) [20:22] hi there [20:22] therealnanotube, File name: libflashplayer.so [20:22] Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124 [20:22] Chrizz_: also, check if premiere can run on wine [20:22] Fredd: did you find, what you were looking for? [20:22] HymnToLife: says broken dependencies [20:22] therealnanotube: I checked. doesnt work [20:22] IndyGunFreak: how do i update ? [20:22] therealnanotube, that would be even more of a nightmare, it barely runs on windows the way it is [20:22] <_2> multi boot win98 xp vesta ubuntu debian gentoo fbsd [20:22] sudo apt-get update? [20:22] therealnanotube, I go on youtube... [20:23] zelrikriando: that's what i have, too... [20:23] does anyone know why packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/ or any of the others aren't working? [20:23] is there someone who knows how to publish mdadm raid information to a web page? [20:23] Elijah__: hehe [20:23] therealnanotube: I cant install XP, because it just gives a creepy errormessage. it doesnt reckognise the harddrive or something === Sinn3rman is now known as Sinnerman [20:23] DakSrvr: because they're down, patience is a virtue [20:23] is there a proper way to eject usb mounted file systems besides manually unmounting them and then just disconnecting? [20:23] Chrizz_: what does adobe premiere do, again? is there no foss alternative to it? [20:23] Hi guys, I am using an HP photosmart 7260 usb inkjet printer. Sometimes it just quits working and I have to unplug the usb cord, power off the printer, power on the printer, then replug the usb cord before it will work again. This is not a problem with the printer, as it works fine plugged directly into windows xp and vista. Any options here on how to figure out whats going on? [20:23] Chrizz_, is this a laptop [20:23] vegombrei: i mean you can install VLC, and it should work w/o issue, but i don't understand why medibuntu isn't working for you [20:23] www.ubuntu-nl.org [20:23] i understand, but how long must i be patient? ;) [20:23] for example, on my mac or windows if I unount or "safely remove" the device knows it was removed and goes into trickle charge mode, I can't seem to get that to happen in Ubuntu. [20:23] _2: is that a "maybe" as in I have no clue or as in "maybe you're an idiot for not knowing that" :) [20:23] IndyGunFreak: it says GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783 [20:24] Elijah__: Yep. [20:24] vegombrei: did you add the gpg key? [20:24] it looks like you did not [20:24] DakSrvr: it's hard to say, usually it's about a couple of hours [20:24] therealnanotube: I have it installed but how do I start it? [20:24] Chrizz_, hp by chance? [20:24] IndyGunFreak: i did install vlc .. it doesnt work :( [20:24] Elijah__: Toshibs [20:24] do you need to download a specific package? [20:24] I installed Deluge torrent client. When testing active port get message it is closed. How can I open this port 59071? [20:24] vegombrei: did you add medibuntu's gpg key.... it looksl ike thats your problem [20:24] Sitherae: clamav is a terminal-based program. open a terminal, and you can run "clamscan" with various options. [20:25] Sitherae: and of course, "man clamscan" for all those options [20:25] <_2> Gumby errr we have amendments to the us constitution. i choose to exricies the fifth of said amendments. [20:25] Ok, has anyone else had problems with the Java plugin and FFX 3.0? [20:25] therealnanotube: I'm a man! [20:25] IndyGunFreak: i added the gpg key too .. read that entire page did exactly what it asked for hardy [20:25] Sitherae: there's also a gui for it, though y ou can try, called "clamtk". if you don't want to deal with the cli [20:25] is there someone who knows how to publish mdadm raid information to a web page? [20:25] therealnanotube, do you have libflashsupport? [20:25] _2: lol, ok. [20:25] Sitherae: :) [20:25] therealnanotube: I'll try that thanks :D [20:25] IndyGunFreak: should i also remove non free ?? [20:25] Chrizz_, ok, I have a HP and it was designed to work with Vista only, Ubuntu doesn't work well on it either. I had to slipstream some missing drivers into the oem xp disc and reauthor, a big pita, then get custom drivers from another site for nearly everything since many were not supported, i just paid $30 to do a driver scan and all is well, I have XP on this thing now but that was quite the adventure [20:26] vegombrei: no.. maybe medibuntu is down right now, i really don't know. [20:26] yes, well actually it's all packages concerning updating my kernel to 2.6.26 so that i may (hopefully) be able to use my wireless N on my laptop [20:26] zelrikriando: what is that? that package is not even in the repos (but i'm on feisty... if you are on hardy, it may be different...) [20:26] Sitherae: good luck, let know if problems. :) [20:26] IndyGunFreak: i think its down too actually ... how do i recheck ? [20:26] therealnanotube: will do [20:26] how can I open a port? [20:26] Hi [20:27] Yahoo__: copy/paste doesn't work? :) [20:27] Anyone ever "safely" remove a USB device in Ubuntu? [20:27] Elijah__: Ubuntu didnt install my lan driver either. only my wireless. With the last update, it installed :) Lets hope toshiba has some drivers [20:27] I need a linux server to download a file even though I end my ssh session, how can i do this? [20:27] therealnanotube: you kidding now? :) [20:27] dotech: I never did [20:27] vegombrei: well, usualy sudo apt-get update will return errors if its down... like connnection timed out, or something like that [20:27] i'm not getting errors though [20:27] 'sera [20:27] therealnanotube, oh I see :) [20:27] dotech: unmounting it should be enough.. some devices want you to do an "eject" too [20:27] Yahoo__: indeed :) so you want to automatically push the info to some website? [20:27] dotech: i think i did once just to have it autodelete all the .trash folders [20:27] guntbert: nope, im looking for the log file with all of the [ ok ]'s and [ failed ]'s [20:27] I unmount so technically its safe, but my device never knows its ejected so it won't switch modes. [20:27] DakSrvr: 2.6.26 is in Intrepid, not in §Hady [20:28] therealnanotube, seems like it was a good idea to stay on the 7.10 [20:28] Yahoo__: that would involve writing a custom shell/python/perl script (unless one already exists) [20:28] and it's a bad idea to install it if you don't know what you're doing [20:28] IndyGunFreak: thats the error i get -> W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783 [20:28] W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems [20:28] zelrikriando: i'm sticking with feisty until they end-of-life it :) [20:28] Fredd: you mean like your screen, when booting? [20:28] <_2> does anyone know how to determine if a laptop has built in mic or not ? i would like to get the mic working, but if the hardware is not there, i don't want to spend three days working on the kernel in vain... ;/ anyone ? [20:28] vegombrei: well that looks like you didn't add the GPG key [20:28] Slart: How do you do eject? [20:28] guntbert: yup [20:28] therealnanotube: so there are no programs with that function? [20:28] dotech: I'm not familiar enough with the usb-protocol so I can't really help you with that part [20:28] dotech: the eject command [20:28] HymnToLife, well, i have a general idea if reading the readme is enough to compensate [20:28] IndyGunFreak: im quite sure i did .. hold on lemme do it again [20:29] Slart: Sounds like what I am looking for :) [20:29] guntbert: there are errors on those screen, that i cant read very quickly..and sometimes they dont show up because of the boot window(loading thingy) [20:29] Yahoo__: don't know of any... but really, it will be just a one-line shell script, so i doubt any "programs" would already exist. [20:29] therealnanotube, they broke things in hardy :/ [20:29] I hvae no idea why #ubuntu is more popular than #ubuntu [20:29] zelrikriando: what things, besides the flash crashing bit? [20:29] Fredd: I'm afraid that doesn't go into a single file, what failed? [20:29] I mean WHy is #ubuntu more popular than #kubuntu? [20:29] JohnTheUbuntuGuy: they are the same one [20:29] JohnTheUbuntuGuy: well thats good, cuz i have no idea what you're saying [20:29] how can I open a port? [20:29] dotech: I've only even used it with cd's.. but give it a try [20:29] i do understand that waiting on intrepid would be the best idea, but without the internet working on my laptop, it's just an experiment at the moment [20:29] therealnanotube: but thats not enough for me :) i want web monitoring :) real web monitoring like "big" programs [20:30] JohnTheUbuntuGuy: ah heh, ok, that makes more sense [20:30] JohnTheUbuntuGuy: more people run ubuntu [20:30] therealnanotube, the sound is a mess [20:30] IndyGunFreak: same error when i do the gpg key thing [20:30] JohnTheUbuntuGuy: its a matter of opinion... KDE is for the kslow people who kant kfigure kout kthings.. [20:30] What do I type into the metacity keybinding section for the Windows key? [20:30] Yahoo__: so, describe what exactly you want? does taking mdadm output, and pushing it out to a website, with like, updates every minute, do what you need to do? [20:30] then the repo isvdown [20:30] have anyone had the problem that when running the "install inside windows" function, you get the error: "Could not access cd, please make sure other applications are not using it..." and know how to fix it? [20:30] JohnTheUbuntuGuy: :D lol kslow [20:30] zelrikriando: ah, with the pulseaudio stuff, eh? [20:30] guntbert: well there to errors, 1 was a mkdir error about something/generic-2.6..../violatin(not exact spelling)/ access denied [20:31] therealnanotube, yeah [20:31] Fredd: hmmm..., let me think [20:31] guntbert: and the other one was about a memory address like "00000-fffff-00000 kernel bug?" [20:31] <_2> IndyGunFreak or #kubuntu is for the people that can figure things out and don't have to spend all day on irc getting help who knows.... :) [20:31] therealnanotube, some errors are related to flash though :) [20:31] hi. The update manager on my Ubuntu machine keeps saying : Not all updates can be installed. Run a partial upgrade to install as many updates as possible. This can be caused by...." and 3 or 4 reasons given. I do the partial upgrade but it just keeps happening. I've since noticed that The GIMP has stopped working. Any thoughts [20:31] _2: last time i came here to get help, was a long, long time ago. [20:31] zelrikriando: so how does audio get screwed up because of that? like, under what conditions does stuff not play? (i wanna know, cuz eventually i will be forced to upgrade from feisty...) [20:31] guntbert: i could try restarting again to get the exact error but i will need more than 1 restart lol [20:32] i may ahve a question here and there, but rarely do i have to get hardcore help.. [20:32] therealnanotube: yess exactly [20:32] whats the command to fix a system [20:32] Slart: I can't find the option, unless you mean to type "eject /media/GARMIN" where that is my USB device? [20:32] _2: frankly, i'd use Windows before KDE... [20:32] apt-get ? [20:32] Fredd: no, just wait a few minutes [20:32] Yahoo__: so, that's still a one-line shell script, that you just put into a cron job :) [20:32] DakSrvr: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-2.6.26-5-generic_2.6.26-5.17_i386.deb [20:32] dotech: that sounds like it might work [20:32] therealnanotube, if you dont install libflashsupport, then your flash breaks you audio [20:32] are there any stats on ubuntu download numbers sorted by architecture? [20:32] <_2> IndyGunFreak sounds like a personal problem :) [20:32] guntbert: well i do know why i see no logs though https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/sysklogd/+bug/255635 [20:32] Launchpad bug 255635 in sysklogd "Kernel messages not logged to /var/log/kern.log" [High,Triaged] [20:32] therealnanotube: but i don't know shell scripting :( [20:32] Slart: hmm, it did unmount it at least [20:32] zelrikriando: aha, i see. sucks... [20:32] What do I type into the metacity keybinding section for the Windows key? Like to set a keybinding for alt you use [20:32] therealnanotube: Can it scan another harddrive? Because I have Windows on another harddrive in the same computer. [20:32] _2: i told the guy it was personal opinion, take it up w/ him...

[20:33] lol mahrellon nice, pm me the vid [20:33] Yahoo__: well, if you tell me where you want the mdadm output published, i can make a shellscript for you. (basically, it will do "mdadm > /path/to/your/webpage", nothing more...) [20:33] if its on youtube or something [20:33] ckosloff: there isn't a specific command that opens ports [20:33] LOL! [20:33] <_2> ckosloff ? [20:33] * JohnTheUbuntuGuy is very mad cause he can't use uBUNTU AND HAS TO USE kUBUNTU [20:34] Yahoo__: but in the long run, you'd do well to learn some shell :) it's easy, there's lots of tutorials on it and all. [20:34] [m [20:34] therealnanotube, I am really noob at this but that's what I experienced... [20:34] how can I open a port?

[20:34] zelrikriando: heh, i see... well, i hope they fix it by the time i get into hardy. or maybe in intrepid... [20:34] linduxed; LoL yeah it does in fact. I'm on my personal crusade here xD [20:34] man i cant remember what to do to fix nearly braking system [20:34] therealnanotube: i mean /cat/proc/mdstat > html file [20:35] <_2> need to get a torrent client (Deluge) to work and it reports port 59071 (active port) is closed.

See ya guys in a bit. :) === mahrellon is now known as Mahr_Away [20:35] indyGunFreak:I'm thinking your confused right know but I can't use Ubuntu cause It won't format my Partition and Kubuntu will [20:35] HymnToLife, ahh, actually i am going for the amd64 version, but the link has sufficed, thank you [20:35] ckosloff, could be router [20:35] JohnTheUbuntuGuy: well, i find that highly unlikely, and would suggest you're the one confused, as opposed to me. [20:36] <_2> ckosloff sounds like upstream blockage to me. [20:36] ckosloff, are you behind a router? [20:36] will check goddam router [20:36] thanks [20:36] ckosloff, heh [20:36] Fredd: I'm sorry, ubuntu does the whole booting different than most linuxes, I can't find those logs either :-( [20:36] yw [20:36] guntbert: its alright, you want me to get you the exact errors? === tomaw_ is now known as tomaw [20:37] indyGunFreak the only way to install ubuntu would be to manully format my partition then Install Ubuntu [20:37] JohnTheUbuntuGuy: ok..

But if I open the same dir with dolphin then it would create thumbs and after that they would be visible in nautilius. Does anyone know why?

Its just scanning files in the immediate directory [20:38] but im scared ill lose software like vbox and so forth [20:38] does anyone have a solution for this issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=184873&highlight=noise ? that noise coming from my speakers is starting to become unbearable... [20:39] JohnTheUbuntuGuy: then what is the problem, you were just complaining you had to use Kubuntu over Ubuntu, but you like Kubuntu bette than Ubuntu... make sense, then come back to class [20:39] Faust-C: nope.. only time it's stopped me was with my online banking system.. [20:39] Falust: is vbox 32 bit? [20:39] Faust-C: but I can run that in 32 bit firefox if I really want to [20:39] Scorcher, yes but idk if it has 64 version [20:39] Fredd: I wouldn't worry too much, as long as everything is working all right... [20:39] http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=couchdb - network timeout - is there a mirror? [20:39] Slart, ic, ihmm [20:39] _2 told me this IndyGunFreak seems very adversarial, and arrogant. don't let him get to you. [20:39] faust: thats ok, just install th 32bit libs [20:39] I constantly have some noise in the speakers, and using the wheel even adds some noise [20:39] and it will run [20:40] dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/dev/sdb2 bs=4096 conv=notrunc,noerror <------ does the block size always = 4096 ? [20:40] JohnTheUbuntuGuy: well, _2 is probably a dolt who i could care less about.. and you'll end up in the same file probably [20:40] guntbert: 1 more thing, will apt-get autoremove have an effect on any of the installed packages that the system and user uses? [20:40] Baptiste: Did you try other soundcard drivers? [20:40] faust: if you lose it in the install just reinstall it with the --force-arcuterture flag [20:40] !language | JohnTheUbuntuGuy [20:40] JohnTheUbuntuGuy: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [20:40] So IndyGunFreak is Arrogant and I won't let him get to me [20:40] (speed wrog) [20:40] wrong [20:40] Chrizz_, no I haven't ; how easy is it to install an other sound driver? (my mb is my soundcard) [20:41] Scorcher, ah sweet [20:41] Is there a way to install XP or Vista without formatting ubuntu? [20:41] dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/dev/sdb2 bs=4096 conv=notrunc,noerror <------ does the block size always = 4096 ? [20:41] And I hope I never see IndyGunFreak or you Crazy People good bye [20:41] Chrizz_: you can install it to another drive.. or in virtualbox [20:41] Chrizz_, install XP/Vista first then install ubuntu [20:41] Fredd: imho apt-get autoremove just removes packages that are not needed any more, but maybe some other guy knows better? [20:41] JohnTheUbuntuGuy: well that would be a relief, i won't have to add you to my ignore list [20:41] Chrizz_: if you have a proper xp or vista cd, it should install nicely on a separate partition [20:42] <_2> dvs_ no. default is 512 [20:42] koala_man: Can i split harddrive without destroying linux? [20:42] <_2> dvs_ if you set the bs to your hardware's actual bs you get best preformance. [20:42] Baptiste: Try the restricted driver tool. [20:42] chrizz_ yes, of course. you can add a windows partition to your harddrive. [20:43] * Faust-C wonders how to clean system of apps that arent being used [20:43] Chrizz_: you can use gparted to do that from a livecd, but make sure you keep a backup anyways [20:43] is there any way i can make my own custom disk of ubuntu so after installation it has all the programs i want already installed? [20:43] <_2> ASrock there is a wiki dedicated to that. [20:43] koala_man: So i have to shut down, boot with a live cd, and spit the harddrive? [20:43] well Chrizz_, it doesn't show the sound driver so... [20:44] eject certainly unmounts the device's volume but the device still shows up in "Places" and it clearly isn't ejected because the device hasn't changed into charge only mode. [20:44] _2: can you give me a link please? [20:44] Hello channel. Any idea why the Aurora GTK engine doesn't work when I install it on Ubuntu Hardy? [20:44] Hi.

[20:44] If you wanna talk to me Call me Bash [20:44] _2:ok thanks anyway [20:44] How do I get ClamTK to scan a whole harddrive and not just the immediate directory? [20:44] To a fresh ubu 5.04 install, but I'm not connected to the network [20:44] Chrizz_: yes, you can resize a partition that's in use. without destroying the fs, anyways. [20:45] is there a way I can choose to use tracker when pressing the searchbutton in nautilus? [20:45] good evening :) [20:45] Dotech: ^^ === executionist-afk is now known as executionist [20:45] I have a 3 year old dell inspiron 6000 I just installed ubuntu on and I plan on using this pc for another year or 2.. it has 2x512mb sticks of ram and Im thinking of upgrading to 2x1gb sticks.. anyone think its worth it? [20:45] haxi_phone: Check if your Ethernet device was loaded properly with lspci. [20:46] Ive got a bit of a weird problem: Some programs in my newly installed ubuntu environment will pause running when Im not moving the mouse. One of them is for example the update-manager. [20:46] josh__:what cpu? [20:46] Josh: im actually running ubu on a inspiron 4000 [20:46] josh__: it kind of depends what you use it for, but I probably wouldn't bother [20:46] its 1 .73 ghz pentium 4 [20:46] any ideas how thats possible? I've looked at power saving settings, but even if i turn all the settings of the problem remains the same [20:46] I just use it for basic functions for school [20:46] josh__i had ubuntu running on a dimension 4700 which i upgraded to 3gb RAM and it had a p4 2.79ghz [20:47] did you see a significant increase in performance due to upgraded ram?

[20:48] Does anyone happen to know where Deluge stores its torrent files?

[21:17] people say linux doesnt have good support, so far i feel ubuntu has way better support than microsuck [21:17] eltese: Going by that, it's failed to load the nvidia kernel module [21:17] rockyrock: then the cube isn't enabled [21:17] ASrock: it's called "microsoft" [21:18] ASrock: no need for name calling [21:18] how do I reset my keymap the way it were when I installed ubuntu in metacity? I have screwed up something and my caps lock led doesnt work, and the volume controller is broken [21:18] ASrock: I figured calling something "microsoft" was enough of an insult already [21:18] ikonia: how to enable it> [21:18] barslow, can you go system->preferences->sound [21:18] Yea, gotta be nice to the pinheads at MacroShaft.

[21:18] hahaha, sauvin thats the best on ive ever heard [21:18] Slart: I do not actually hear any sound on any ubuntu screensaver - and would like to :) [21:18] i mean test [21:18] <_kev> How can i limit the max proc of a user and the hd size they can use to? [21:18] Baughn: nope [21:19] eltese: After it doesn't, sudo modprobe nvidia and tell me the output. And the last few lines of dmesg after running that. [21:19] _kev: disk quotas or disk [21:19] ASrock, yeah, yesterday i plugged my printer and it just worked :D. In ****** you would have to install driver, restart, restart, restart.... [21:19] nikre: right now it does but thats bc i just reset [21:19] <_kev> ikonia, disk quotas [21:19] CapaH: afaik they don't use sound.. or you mean you can't play music when the screensaver is active [21:19] _kev: thats right yes [21:19] ok [21:19] Oh... ikonia, I apologise. I didn't realise i wasn't in my regular channel when I said that. [21:19] nikre: it seems to go out at random [21:19] _kev: cpu - you can't really limit like that [21:19] eltese: Hang on, you wouldn't happen to have upgraded your kernel recently?

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [21:22] eltese: crdlb is right. Apparently installing the nvidia driver didn't upgrade xorg.conf correctly.

[21:23] eltese: This would be /very/ hard to debug over irc. How do you feel about giving me root access? [21:23] barslow: it's not a very simple question [21:23] eltese: Needless to say, that's a request you should never say yes to [21:23] Slart: yes it is, just want to know whether its possible to completely replace nautilus === J_- is now known as J-_ [21:24] !hibernate [21:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about hibernate [21:24] barslow: well.. if it's easy perhaps you can answer it..

[21:24] barslow: check the forums.. google etc [21:24] rockyrock: I strongly suggest you don't try to use the nvida.com drivers, the ubuntu ones should be ok from that card from what I'm reading [21:24] Baughn: Sure if you can fix it. I mean if I think your doing anything funky Ill just shut you down ^^ [21:24] eltese: I could probably fix it in about five minutes that way. Of course, I could also install a trojan. I'd promise not to, but.. :/ [21:25] any ne? [21:25] any one [21:25] Slart: i have, the forums explain how to replace nautlis for file managing but not for desktop replacement [21:25] barslow: I don't know.. I can't remember what xubuntu and kubuntu uses.. I don't think they use nautilus so I guess there might be something else out there [21:25] rockyrock: and the driver from nvidia.com is the same one, so it's not going to fix anything === kappawhat is now known as kappaccino [21:25] barslow: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/nonautilusplease [21:25] barslow: there used to be something called sawfish.. but that was a long time ago [21:25] ray_: saying "anyone" is pointless, if someone missed your question saying "anyone" means nothing, if someone doesn't know the answer saying "anyone" won't make them know the answer [21:25] ikonia: is the Ubuntu driver better?? [21:26] barslow: pcmanfm allows you to specify a desktop... most FM do [21:26] Slart: sawfish was a window manager :) [21:26] rockyrock: it's better intergrated [21:26] in ubunut 8.04 what software can alow me t watch tv if no tv tuner card while oninternet [21:26] ikonia: what about ti's cousin, "Someone" ??:) [21:26] ? [21:26] crdlb: well.. I said it was a long time ago =) [21:26] sorry ikonia [21:27] ray_: you don't have a tv-card yet you still want to watch tv? firefox perhaps?

[21:27] slart yes i have firefox [21:27] i am having seriously intermittent probs with this printer [21:27] uoaphys: hplip [21:27] was woundering any thing like what windows has i seen then on windows [21:28] req; just type that at terminal? [21:28] ikonia: crdlb: when i choose the "None" Visual Effects the widgets of Screenlets become ugly [21:28] ray_: then it's just a matter of finding a site that sends tv shows over internet [21:28] let's say pixlized [21:28] ray_: anything web-based that works in windows ought to work in linux (unless they've been very very stupid) [21:28] ray_: what exactly are you trying to do [21:28] slart what i mean is i mean i see on windows sat softwarfe to watch it [21:28] would anyone please be able to assist me with getting Suspend/Hibernate working on my laptop. I haven't been able to do it since the day I installed Ubuntu. [21:29] RequinB4, i trying to get software to watch sat [21:29] привет [21:29] hello [21:29] tv with out a tv tuner card i seen then on windows a lot but not on ubunt 8.04 [21:29] i have a request, i have intel ICH5 soundcard. according to this page( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsSoundCardsIntel ) my soundcard is not supported(tho supported in 7.10). is there any possibility to make it work? [21:29] ray_: what is this software called on windows? [21:29] how do i define what package provides some file? [21:29] ikonia: crdlb: but when i choose the Normal mode it's oky. But I don't want to have Visual cuz of slowing down [21:29] not sure seen lots my friend showsed me [21:29] nikre: perhaps it's supported in 8.04 ? [21:29] ray_: mythbuntu? I've never seen it without a tv card, unless you're describing something completely different than one i'm thinking of [21:30] RequinB4, yes any software based one [21:30] like what windows has [21:30] Slart, only ICH6 is said to be supported according to that page. or may i have got it wrong? [21:30] ray_: go ask your friend then.. because I've never seen any software that lets you watch satelite tv without a tv-card only using an internet connection [21:30] ray_: "windows" doesn't "have" anything - its a third party program if it exists [21:30] ray_: unless you mean like vuze [21:30] <_Garfield_> Hey guys, I get this error after recompile: mkinitramfs-kpkg failed to create initrd image. Anybody any thought [21:31] ray_: how do you connect to it without a card? [21:31] RequinB4 yes any 3rd party ones [21:31] I want to insall PHP, Mysql, and Apache but i don't know their names in the repos cuz there are so many names that are the same [21:31] RequinB4 on lapy [21:31] nikre: I have no idea.. you're probably right.. I was just asking since you asked about an older version of ubuntu [21:31] rockyrock: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [21:31] Slart, Actually, I'd like to know how to reinstall the sound system [21:32] Flannel: thnx [21:32] does anyone know how to get JME working in ubuntu? [21:32] nikre: alsa? [21:32] Slart, i've no idea, i'm a beginner [21:32] nikre: I guess you could remove it using apt-get purge and then install it again.. I'm not sure how much other stuff it might take with it because of dependencies though [21:33] RequinB4, any 3rd party one for ubuntu 8.04 [21:33] nikre: why do you want to reinstall alsa? is it broken? do you want a newer version? [21:33] Slart, i had made a prev. installation of ubuntu server and installed gnome with all of its components [21:33] I have found a virus on my Windows drive using ClamAV. The file is pagefile.sys. Would it be safe to delete this file while in Ubuntu? or should I boot into windows and delete it? [21:33] ray_: No one can help you if you don't describe 1) what program you used on windows or 2) How you connected your sat tv to the pc without a card [21:34] how can i define what package contains needed file? [21:34] Is it possible to use mdadm to re-assemble a 4-disk ntfs RAID0+1 array without losing the data? Initially setup with mobo fakeraid, I believe. [21:34] RequinB4, throw internet [21:34] bifkit: possible.. perhaps... practical.. not likely =/ [21:34] like what joost dose RequinB4 [21:34] I need to use a Java applet called "JME Molecular Editor". I dled Sun Java 6, but I get this message "java and javascript must be enabled in this browser" [21:34] bifkit: lots of important files on that raid? [21:35] and sound used to work in that cfg. but now i reinstalled ubuntu server and installed only needed packages using a shell script in swedcore.net [21:35] Slart: Any other recommendations? [21:35] now everything else but sound is ok [21:35] visudo: no editor found (editor path = /usr/bin/vi) [21:35] ray_: if you need an external application to see it (such as joost), and they only make it for windows, you might try wine [21:35] !wine [21:35] 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.

[21:37] visudo: no editor found (editor path = /usr/bin/vi) what can i do? [21:37] has any one else experienced mysterious high CPU usage? My cpu usage is usually ~0.5-1.0%, but occasionally top will start reporting 50-100% system / user cpu constantly without assigning it to any process. The machine gets quite hot when this happens, so I believe the CPU is in fact being used. Has anyone else experienced anything similar? [21:37] Slart: Windows install is long gone. Part of the motivation to switch to Ubuntu. :) [21:37] bifkit: I was in the same situation a couple of years back.. but then the motherboard was out of production.. I've still got the hard drives in a box [21:37] Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew how I could force maximize an app in wine that I currently can't see?

[21:41] bifkit: some advice for the future.. either go for real raid cards (the expensive ones).. or don't use raid at all.. (or pure software raid). Fakeraid isn't faster, better or cheaper.. it's just more likely to lose your files === cshadowrun is now known as CShadowRun [21:41] ok, one installation of ubuntu server 8.04.1 , dmraid works , another installation of same version on same hardware gives me error message when I type in 'dmraid -ay' [21:41] genius, of course [21:42] is it good to install firestarter and rkhunter?

[21:55] ya [21:55] Pirate_Hunter: i get a while square on comedycentral.com now since some updates a while back [21:56] gaintsura: Why is it necessary to create a virtual interface in addition to the actual wireless interface? [21:56] Pirate_Hunter: i mean it was always working before so i dont know where to start [21:56] It seems hardest to find a music player these days. XMMS seems to have bitten the dust (at least in ubuntu land) and there are many options each with their own flaws.

[21:58] gaintsura: Why was the driver written that way? Unnessesary complicated. [21:58] I perfer more indy media [21:58] bullgard4: don't ask me, ask the creators =P [21:58] gerzel: I said itunes, not itms.

I've found it incredibly hard to find anything that matches it, despite the general simplicity of the interface [21:59] Pirate_Hunter: i tried that. ive found something on the forums thanks, seems older version of ubuntu works so could be firefox [21:59] would anyone please be able to assist me with getting Suspend/Hibernate working on my laptop. I haven't been able to do it since the day I installed Ubuntu. [21:59] Pirate_Hunter: i am using ubuntu and of course it does work, but it doesnt when i playing warsow and thats the point [22:00] thompa: try downloading libflashsupport see if that help but what exactly happens when you try surfing a page with flash [22:00] Pirate_Hunter: i think most pages work, its only comedy central which is too bad cause its all i want for this [22:01] anyone have a solution to choppy video both and and offline? [22:01] jum_: than it not ubuntu its the game running underwine and most games to that anyway even in window they get first priority and dont allow you to minimise but than i dont exactly know what is your problem [22:01] faster processor/video card [22:01] How do I switch from a kubuntu desktop to a normal gnome desktop?

[22:02] Baughn - I don't think I have anything other than KDE installed.. [22:02] baughn: Mp3s are not the problem. All music players practically play mp3s, and many have very good sorting arrangments for them. I'm more interested in how well it organizes my live streaming radio feeds, how well it plays old videogame music from the nes, snes and others up to this current generation, how well its interface works, how much of a procesing footprint it has etc. I might try iTunes but it isn't what I'm aiming for. [22:02] hrm [22:02] er, I err. It seems I do. [22:02] im trying to change the splash screen when i boot...i have a file fingerprint.so how do i use it? [22:02] * Pirate_Hunter do ppl check the game section in ubuntu forums or the linux game section find games working natevily in ubuntu? [22:03] ASrock: I sincerely doubt there's any connection. A .so file is a shared library.

Shoudl there be a regular "GNOME" option? [22:04] ASrock: lol typing splash or splash screen wouldve given you a list of apps that can do the job but wait a sec if you want something specific [22:04] armenb: There should. [22:05] armenb: You might have to apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, but it'Ll show up [22:05] Baughn: How ... [22:05] ahhh [22:05] let me try that. [22:05] ugurr, you don't need to use let .. just use vars as normal. e.g FOO=9; FOO=$((FOO+10)) [22:05] Pirate_Hunter: no i think flash is the problem cause firefox-2 don't work and it works in other distro [22:05] ASrock: try gnome-splashscreen-manager [22:05] Baughn - that looks like exactly the problem. ubuntu-desktop was not installed.

[22:06] kk, thanks Pirate_Hunter [22:06] Pirate_Hunter: it is ubuntu :), okay I want to minimize warsow (or any other game) when I play it. But you say that this isnt possible 'cause the game gets a higher priority, did I understand it correctly? If yes, is there any possibility to change the priority?

[22:14] Hi!. I want to mount a new hdd so it will hold /home structure. /home has already some users and data, but I'm running out of space. Any walktrough available? [22:14] i had this issue earlier, before i reinstalled ubuntu becuase no one could hlep me [22:14] Just do, the installer auto finds all other operating systems [22:14] and i was getting confused [22:14] Pirate_Hunter, that's quite a strong statement :) [22:14] pg you normally need to install linux on hard drive beforeyou should need to install grub [22:14] pg: you need to install ubuntu onto hd so you can install grub [22:15] ah [22:15] Hi All! I'm wondering if anybody can help me figure this out: I have mounted a fat32 partition in /mnt/data and I'm trying to get it to display on the desktop... if I mount the partition in /media/data, then it will show up on the desktop... So I guess it's a to part question: how can I get the /mnt/data partition to show up on the desktop, and how can I create folder shortcuts to the desktop? [22:15] Pirate_hunter : Hello [22:15] unop: yah i was told the same thing when i joined lol maybe i should refrain from using it [22:15] Pirate_Hunter, "By changing the switch "Line Jack Sense" from On to Off the sound came back working" how is this not a bug but my fault [22:15] I have no video playback on hardy, it was working fine I surprised when this happened, how can i investigate to figure out whats happening? [22:15] The installer self will configure grub the right way, so you can boot into other Linux distro's or Windows [22:15] xhunter: hi [22:15] pirate: but.. i have ubuntu on my harddrive, and i have reinstall my windows xp and now the gruba was deleted becuase i reinstall the widnows xp [22:15] ozpowermo: I think it's nautilus that handles the desktop and it makes shortcuts for everything in /media , nothing magic.. just hardcoded afaik [22:15] xp needs to be installed before ubuntu [22:16] Rule: Windows first, Linux second [22:16] tux : Salut [22:16] tux : Mais tu fais koi ici ? [22:16] Slart: can I make shortcuts myself? [22:16] can anyone assist me with my video driver issue?

[22:16] every now and then my computer logs off to the login screen... i just had a relly nasty one.. it seemed like ram was totally used... it was going to slow and took forever to log back in so i rebooted any sugesstions [22:16] ozpowermo: there is a terminal command, ln -s [22:16] nikre: simple its your fault from having it on but being serious now it might be a bug i dont even know what line jack sense does if you do it might explain why sound was cut off [22:16] ozpowermo: you might be able to do it by dragging and dropping too.. but I don't know the specifics [22:17] im an ubuntu NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOB so i cant help, thats just a rule that i know [22:17] what does ln -s [22:17] rick-h, not really true .. you can configure the windows bootloader to boot a linux image [22:17] ln -s creates a symbolic link, man ls for more info [22:17] Slart: is it permanent? Because I load the partition on boot and I want it to show up on the desktop... if I do ln -s, would it persist after I boot? [22:17] brb........ [22:17] Pirate_Hunter, you sound like a racist, i didnt set it on. it is a bug. what are you trying to prove? [22:17] Never heard of that one, unop [22:17] ozpowermo: yes.. just like any other file, it will still be there when you reboot [22:17] is there anyway to setup a multitouch interface for mice in ubuntu? like i can hookup 2 mice through usb, and use them togather like a multitouch screen [22:18] Slart: ok thanks Slart!

See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [22:43] Pirate_Hunter: heh :) [22:44] anyone know which rar to install for file roller (archive manager) to not give me an error when opening a rar file ? [22:44] Sinnerman: ah.. and all the usb stuff works? [22:44] chill_: unrar [22:44] unrar or unrar free? [22:44] chill_: iirc winrar3.0 isn't supported by the free version of rar... been a while not sure.. try the non-free maybe [22:44] ooh, yes i forgot about that [22:44] seems like I finally got flash to work without crashing [22:45] the not free unrar is the best choice (as much as i hate to say it) [22:45] jetscreamer: I said explain to me cause i was searching a page for someone else so i dont know what he meant or what happened and the rudness is not needed, were trying to help and its a difficult task [22:45] : how did you do that? [22:45] ive got a usb external drive that stops my computer booting when its plugged in. what should i do? [22:45] is there a way to set the default size of the multi-gnome-terminal window so that when it starts it has this default size? [22:45] Pirate_Hunter: don't worry about it, just keep searching. he just brought up a point that's not important here. [22:45] vadim, here : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5587712&postcount=472 [22:45] vadimL libflashsupport seems to do the job look in the repos for it [22:45] Slart: yes, as expected. for now. i have to say, that was the case on the previous install too. then after a while, im not sure what happened, or why, but it started getting more problematic. now it's all cool. hope it stays that way. [22:45] well i got fdisk -l up but don't know what to do next [22:45] Pirate_Hunter, no [22:46] has anyone had success with ubuntu and JMF? [22:46] Pirate_Hunter, wrong [22:46] does anyone have experience with broadcom drivers and wpa_supplicant? (b43, et. al) [22:46] gausie i had seen that happened to my laptop, make sure your computer's bios is not configured to boot from USb devices [22:46] i ask, because guides i'm following don't behave like i'd expect [22:46] hello! Im running now the system from cd, i need to change the menu.lst file this on my Ubuntu harddrive i need to change the (hd0,7) to (hd0,5) how i can change this, becuase now i dont have premission to it. [22:46] zelrikriando: i didnt say thats how you solved your problem.. so what is a no [22:46] bhavesh, will do thanks [22:46] now i have the list now how do i mount it [22:46] jetscreamer: thanks [22:46] For those who really want flash to work without crashing and stuff : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5587712&postcount=472 [22:46] pg: when you boot you should be able to hit E to edit the grub menu on a temp basis... if it's graphical grub, you may need to hit esc first [22:47] Pirate_Hunter, I had libflashsupport before...it wasnt stable [22:47] k thanks [22:47] pg: why do you need to mess with menu.lst if you installed ubuntu? [22:47] i am installing ubuntu for the 6th time [22:48] For some reason, I can't get a DVD to play in _any_ player properly [22:48] zelrikriando: thn please explain how you solved your problem as that way worked for me and also it would be nice to know so i can record it for next time [22:48] Okay i have the fdisk -l list up and i wish to mount but do not know how [22:48] hack13_: what is the fs [22:48] VLC just grays out and won't let me seek 3 secodns into the movie [22:48] jetscreamer, what is fs? [22:48] MPlayer can't handle the DVD, the only way I could get it to work at all is to open the .vob files directly and even then it crashes trying to play the next [22:48] Bhavesh: ill help you install ubuntu under the default configs or as long as youre not trying something beyond my scope of understanding [22:49] hi, i'm getting a strange bug: within firefox, using the mplayer plugin to play a video from my server (direct 100/100 connection) i get very distorted, if i right click, and click open with movie player (totem) it still does it, but if i open it straight of a samba share it doesn't do it, i think it might be a buffer problem, but i'm not sure why, any ideas? [22:49] Pirate_Hunter, I followed that link step by step : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5587712&postcount=472 [22:49] hack13_: filesystem [22:49] Movie Player doesn't do anything when I try to open [22:49] Pirate_Hunter, I am testing it...surfing on Youtube like crazy now, didnt crash yet [22:49] hey all. I'm compiling source code for the first time to install a webcam. Is it necessary to update "linux-restricted-modules" if I have an up-to-date kernel? [22:49] I can't seem to get my mic to work for wow under wine. I need either that, or vent. any ideas [22:49] ? [22:49] zelrikriando: ty but send it to vadim as well [22:49] Pirate_Hunter, I did [22:49] jetsecreamer, i want to mount my /dev/sdb2 on my secound hdd its ntfs [22:50] hey all, I was wondering when I hit the vol up and down on my keyboard a big square semi transparent vol thing appears on the screen, now on some bootups in the past I have seen a smaller nice little rectangle one - is there anyway to stop the big one coming up, (I know this is a trivial thing but I am curious) [22:50] zelrikriando: ty [22:50] hack13_: add a line similar to: /dev/hdd1 /mnt/hdd1 ntfs ro,user,auto,gid=24,uid=1001,fmask=0333,dmask=0222 to your fstab... change the hdxx and uid, and maybe the gid if you want. type 'id' in an xterm to find your id [22:51] make it sdb2 eh [22:51] hack13_: or use those params in a mount command [22:52] hack13_: that is for ro.. if you want rw you need ntfs-3g [22:52] jetscreamer, i installed that and it is not working [22:52] slt [22:53] jetscreamer, it says that i am not allowed to access it [22:53] hack13_: paste your mount command... [22:53] hack13_: that's why all the gid and fmask stuff.. so you can [22:54] anyone here know why it is that sometimes whenever I reset the computer kmix doesnt correcly show the mixer [22:54] ie. most of the channels are missing, and I cant control the sound like I would like to [22:54] its a 50/50 chance I've noticed that it will load correctly or not load correctly [22:54] Is there any easy, really simple command-lnie tool to just shove an mp3 onto an ipod? I don't want to deal with installing amarok, indexing my media files, etc, just to do this right now. [22:54] hi, im having trouble with my mic [22:55] using ubuntu hardy [22:55] puff: I use gtkpod [22:55] i can get it on my speakers [22:55] the mic [22:55] but, its a pain in the ass to figure out how it works, but it works [22:55] anom01y: I used that a few years back, but... [22:55] I am using ubuntu server 8.04, but for some reason I cannot install the nvidia drivers on it because it is telling me that I have some xen stuff built into my kernel [22:55] my nick's already in use, my internet crashed and i had to restart my ipaddress [22:55] I just want something that gives me almost-as-easy-as-cp [22:55] puff: it plays based on the index, so you can't really skip that bit [22:55] yeah that would be nice [22:56] but somehow it doesnt work with ardour or skype or teamspeak [22:56] Daisuke_Laptop: That's why I want another tool :-). [22:56] is there a way to specify the owner and group of the output from mkdir run as root? ex sudo mkdir -u ftpuser -g ftpgroup foldername? [22:56] but you have to convert it to ipods format [22:56] Maybe I shoudl download libgtkpod and write my own. [22:56] which is a stupid format [22:56] Hm. [22:56] you don't need another tool, you need another player. [22:56] :) [22:56] Daisuke_Laptop: Right now, I just need to get one single Mp3 file from my hard drive onto my ipod. I don't need a bunch of other junk. [22:56] Remember the unix philosophy, small, simple, narrowly defined tools? [22:57] after I uploaded a patch in launchpad, is it necessary to find a developer who reviews the patch and uploads it for packaging? [22:57] puff: doesnt rhythmbox support ipods? [22:57] I am so sorry to ask this but... how is it possible that my numeric pad ==suddenly== stop working? and more important... how do I reenable it? [22:57] puff: unfortunately, that goes out the window when dealing with hardware designed for non-unix systems [22:57] Pirate_Hunter: Lots of things (claim to) support ipods :-). [22:57] Daisuke_Laptop: It doesn't have to. [22:57] Ive tried just about everything to change my screen resolution,can someone help me step by step please? [22:58] Daisuke_Laptop: I know all about how the ipod makes things complicated. That still doesn't prohibit having a simple little tool to copy an mp3 into an ipod. [22:58] is there an easy way that i can see disk usage from the command line? [22:58] I can't seem to get my mic to work for wow under wine. I need either that, or vent. any ideas? [22:58] Okay, g'night all. [22:58] kapu, why not use chown afterwards. sudo mkdir folder && sudo chown ftpuser.ftpgroup folder [22:58] puff: ok but im sure part of its making its to have ipod support maybe not as much support as you want but it should transfer songs "saying that i havent got an ipod and i dont use rhythmbox even knowing its installed" [22:58] gtkpod's the best option i've seen, drag it to the gtkpod window, refresh DB [22:58] all done [22:58] Running Ubuntu Desktop 8.0.4 in VMWare on a Mac OS X 10.5.4.

(alt-f2, gksu synaptic) [23:07] Flannel, but it could still have to do with the fact that I usermod -g'ed myself erroneously to a wrong group and then back to my username?

[23:24] bah: I am on amd64 the error was because I was missing the 32bit [23:24] lol hello kristano, fancy seeing you here,, this is 'sickboy' :P [23:24] hey man [23:24] jcarter: I had to export as rw and do chmod -R a+r [23:24] do you know if you could help me [23:24] jcarter: don't ask me why though :) [23:25] I just realized I hate NFS :( [23:25] unop: using blkid doesn't seem to return anything at all? [23:25] on a whim? when you installed the shipit CD did you run "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade" [23:25] what package do i have to install to get akgregator? [23:26] I let the automatic updater do its thing [23:26] Hi *. Thisthis is very strange. Gnome is not able to recognize my images unless I rename file.jpg -> file [23:26] ootz0rz, you might need to use it with sudo there. [23:26] Does anyone know how to fix GDM that does not display the same resolution with the Gnomes resolution? I have an HDTV monitor I'm using as my primary display. [23:27] unop: yup, that was it, thanks again [23:29] I think i'm going to downgrade to Gutsy; it worked perfectly then :/ [23:29] can someone help me change my screen resolution please [23:29] nybuntu08: i think there is a way but its beyond my scope to make both change separately but how come you want different res for GDM [23:29] and the frakking xserver-xorg reconfiguration interface is screwed now; wont let me select my resolutions [23:30] paolo: how do you know they aren't recognized? === benito_ is now known as \kG [23:30] I hate it, people are like "oh, let's make this configure itself, and not give the end user any option to do it themselves" [23:30] tcc_: have you tried system -> preferences -> screen res? [23:30] : and what are you trying to do? [23:30] anyone know what might be the error, when i cant install ubuntu with wubi, i get the error "cant access the disc, close any programs that might be... etc. " i checked the disc for errors, and i tried installing it from hd and running the wubi exe :S anyone have anny idea? [23:30] paolo: they don't open in an image viewer when you double click them? [23:30] kristano: why dont you ask for help with that its much easier and upgrading the OS version is not wise its better to bckup you data and do clean install [23:30] amrik:yes,screen resolution wont go to 1024,yet it was there when I first installed unbuntu [23:30] tcc_: what resolution do you desire? [23:30] Slart: lots of ways... e.g. nautilius wouldn't create a thumbnail (but it would if I rename it) or I cannot use them as desktop background [23:31] tcc_: and what video card? [23:31] Slart: no, they open eog because I set it up that way (with that extension) [23:31] amrik:I think it was 1024 by 760 or somethinhg like that? [23:31] :what videocard do you have? [23:31] kristano: applications>other> screen & graphics or gtk-displayconfig your choice [23:31] Pirate_Hunter: I don't understand. I'm not considering an upgrade; i'm considering a downgrade; that is, a clean install of the previous version, since apparently, this one sucks hard [23:31] Slart: it is very annoyin because I need to rename any .jpg file to something else, if I want to use it as a desktop background [23:32] I have 2 flash plugins in firefox, how do I remove one [23:32] ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 PD/PRO TMDS [23:32] paolo: I get the same problem, that nautilus won't create a thumbnail.. but they still open in an image-viewer when I doubleclick them and I can still right click on them for the special content menu.. but all this gets fixed if I just "touch" the file in some way.. so nautilus thinks it's anew file [23:32] kristano: i was assuming you upgraded for gusty and now wish to downgarde anyway forget it [23:32] GDM is using 1080i and my desktop res is 720P. So I would rather get GDM to load 720P which will make it look better. It's defaulted to a much higher resolution that my monitor doesn't support. If any one has a link post it. Thx... [23:32] :have you installed driver for your card? [23:32] tcc_: and 1024x768 isnt available under screen res? [23:33] zelrikriando: the same way you would remove any other application in ubuntu [23:33] Slart: I tried to touch the file... and it doesn't work [23:33] I'm using HDMI. I'm using an AT 9550. [23:33] Slart: also can you use them as a desktop background? [23:33] vadim: not sure if proper driver is installed,been having problems with this card for a while...and no the reso isnt available under screen res [23:33] "(05:32:09 PM) zelrikriando: I have 2 flash plugins in firefox, how do I remove one" sudo apt-get remove [23:34] though it USED to be,yet I dont know what i did to change that [23:34] paolo: I haven't tried that.. and this only happens once a week or something.. so I have no files to try it on now [23:34] Slart: my problem seems to be worse than yours [23:35] Would I have to edit my xorg.conf? [23:35] can anyone recommend a good 8-port sas controller for ubuntu? [23:36] :you can try to revert changes maybe and then find proper driver and install it once again === ugur_ is now known as ugurr [23:36] nybuntu08http: //ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=160170 & http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2006/08/13/gdm-login-screen-resolution-too-big-to-fit-screen-try-this/ dont know if it will work for you or be helpful [23:36] can anyone help me with a wubi issue?

[23:43] Slart: its an installer that install ubuntu from windows onto a physical partition from what ive heard and i had bad experience with it as it has to get ubuntu from the net :/ [23:43] smartctl utility doesn't work for my external hard disk, is there anything else I could use? [23:44] speener: what does terminal tell you please paste it [23:44] when i first switched to ubuntu from microsoft windows i asked some questions regarding what was better, among the answers i was given was tht i could have xubuntu, kubuntu, etc as different DEs and it wouldbasically be the same, when it came to comparing distros, i was told that ubuntuhad one of the largest growing communities and constant releases, thus i got rid of windows and installed ubuntu with the options of kde, xfce, fluxbox, kde4, gn [23:44] ome available...now i have to ask within the same newblike guidelines: what's better linux or *bsd? [23:44] :wow,nothing is configured. But i wanted not that. Go to directory /etc/X11 and see if there is file xorg.conf.backup or smth like that [23:44] Try them both out and decide which is better. [23:44] Pirate_Hunter: I've read about it on the ubuntu wiki.. it seems it uses the same partition as windows.. but runs separately.. well.. I think I'll keep my real install =) [23:44] CostaRicanQuaker: You should ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [23:44] CostaRicanQuaker: better is what you believe is best, there is no such thing as best, it depends on people's opinions [23:45] Pirate_Hunter: Starting gdesklets-daemon...

[23:49] Flannel: yah thats is what i am thinking after reading your post [23:49] UncontrolleD: Your main partition (or only one) should be / [23:49] UncontrolleD-> you always mount root to / [23:49] will anybody please respond to me. I think my hard disk are being fried. I am reading this guide to know if I have that bug. I have installed ubuntu on an external hard disk and running smartctl doesn't work for it. [23:49] is* [23:49] vadim:sorry,only one...my mistake,the others had a slight name difference [23:49] UncontrolleD: create a partition and leave mount point as / "thats it move on" === user__ is now known as nikolam [23:49] : you tried to install nvidia drivers on your ATI card?? [23:50] thanks alot for the help, i should leave ext3 as default? [23:50] it wont paste man [23:50] UncontrolleD: yes... [23:51] i have another partition of 120 gb free, what would be the best utility for it? [23:51] vadim:read somewhere there was a fix that worked for an ati card to use nvidia driver...didnt make sense but then again I seen stranger when working with bcxxx chipset [23:51] speener: huh anyway what does it say if you summarise it, wheer does it go wrong [23:51] How do i install latest amsn with tk 8.5? [23:52] but the repo contains driver for ati card [23:52] UncontrolleD: did you create a swap space, and how much space did you give to / ? [23:52] it just hangs...it says it's connecting to daemon but it just hangs [23:52] vadim:ok so what should I do now? [23:52] and then it times out [23:52] IndyGunFreak the root has 120 gb space, i haven't created a swap partition [23:52] UncontrolleD: /root has 120gigs, or / has 120gigs(ther'es a difference) [23:53] just try to install ati drivers cos nvidia driver isn't working for sure [23:53] ePax: if youre asking dont bother too much of a headache stick to gimp or emesene with looks exactly like msn>amsn>emesene [23:53] sudo aptitude install xorg-driver-fglrx [23:53] IndyGunFreak: is there a difference? [23:53] ubuntu is debian based right? [23:53] IndyGunFreak "/" has 120 gigs [23:53] ASrock: yes [23:54] Pirate_Hunter: of course, a lot of people make a /root partition... [23:54] UncontrolleD: ok.. so i would take that 120, and knock about 4gigs of that, and allocate it as swap... [23:54] IndyGunFreak: oh you meant it that way, huh, ok im tired and sleepy but wont go bed [23:54] Pirate_Hunter: no prob... [23:54] ok, im downloading a program and it has a list of distros for me to chose from it doesnt have ubuntu but it has debian GNU/linux...do i select debian or do i select other? [23:54] Pirate_Hunter: he said he gave 120ggis to /root and i just wanted to clarify he meant / and not /root [23:55] (05:53:53 PM) ASrock: ubuntu is debian based right? -- supposedly, but it is not compatible with Debian.... go figure. [23:55] speener: have you tried deleting its config file, you could always purge and reisntall again [23:55] IndyGunFreak: ok [23:55] how do i get dependencies of a package i want to install using apt? [23:55] Cope57: i did not get that message [23:55] Cope57: troling? [23:56] doop: is the package in the repositories(i'm assuming its an older version) [23:56] No, not trolling [23:56] doop: it will do it automatically unless your using dpkg [23:56] http://cxg.de/?id=CKuEJxdDeAQXgNW [23:56] seeya all [23:56] Cope57: ok [23:57] Wuestion was asked about Ubuntu being debian based. I replied it was, but it is not compatible with Debian. [23:57] Pirate_Hunter: yeah...and i've uninstalled and reinstalled a couple times [23:57] nothing changes... [23:57] speener: ok give me a sec will give you a link form the forums [23:57] how do i copy my home folder to backup, but not copying files that already have a newest version in the destination directory ? [23:58] IndyGunFreak how do i allocate a 4 gb swap partition on a already ext3 partition? [23:58] does anybody use a video player faster than totem [23:58] tim167: look into rsync [23:58] Flannel, ok i will thanks [23:58] UncontrolleD: eh, its probably not that big a deal..... [23:58] tim67, i think rsync [23:58] oops, sorry someone already said it [23:58] catalepsic: vlc is good.... i think its probably the general choice of most. [23:59] maybe mplayer [23:59] how do i know what packages will be added to the repositories by canonical and when? [23:59] vadim: ok,its installed,I restarted xserver yet still cant change reso [23:59] catalepsic, SMplayer is the best imho [23:59] owen1_: What do you mean?
