[00:00] hello [00:00] I've got an older P4 box with 256MB of memory. When I run the Hardy Heron live CD, I get a heron and a mouse cursor that only updates its position once every 5 seconds. Is this an expected symptom of using a Live CD on a low-memory machine, or is this an indication of the performance I'll get if I do a native install? [00:00] hspeener: ttp://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-and-use-gdesklets-on-ubuntu8.04 & http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Enhance_your_Ubuntu_Desktop_with_gDesklets you could also find the .deb file of it on their homesite "im nearly sure they have it" [00:00] how do I install pidgin 2.4.3 on ubuntu 7.10? [00:00] IndyGunFreak oh ok, what i do with the other 120 gb partition? do i format it as ntfs? [00:00] Is there a program like krfb for gnome? [00:00] UncontrolleD: i'm confused.. you have two, 120gig partitions right now, right? [00:00] yes [00:00] 120 one and 120 the other one [00:01] UncontrolleD: are you on a live CD now? [00:01] UncontrolleD: lucky you [00:01] i downloaded ubuntu from the website my laptop is with me at my left side [00:01] (06:00:21 PM) ravster: how do I install pidgin 2.4.3 on ubuntu 7.10? --- If you know how to install by source you can just go to. http://pidgin.im/download/source/ [00:01] UncontrolleD: does it dualboot? [00:01] no [00:01] Flannel: i installed a package with aptitude. i would like to install a newer version without compiling it (to avoid the 'dependency hell' problem). [00:02] would it be possible to bridge a networkcard to attach a printer to a network ? [00:02] owen1_: What version do you have, and what version do you want? (and what package is it?) [00:02] hi you guys [00:02] o/ lunatikk [00:02] Cope57: thanks. Is there a package that would turn it into .deb format? I don't want to install it without apt-get knowing about it. [00:02] UncontrolleD: if you're not dual booting, i would just start the installer, and when it comes time to partition the drive, just tell itt o "take over" the entire drive.. and the installer will set up a swap and ext3 partition for you no prob [00:03] ravster: any package you install synpatic will register it [00:03] Cope57: Are you talking about RPM's? [00:03] !prevu | ravster [00:03] ravster: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details [00:03] Flannel: newsbeuter. the repositories have 0.7 and i am interested in a newer one. [00:03] UncontrolleD: like i said, thats if you're not dual booting.. just let the installer to format and setup the entire drive. [00:03] You could install "alien" to be able to install RPM's [00:03] Flannel: (it's amazing rss client, text-based) [00:03] Pirate_Hunter: even if I install it by source? [00:03] Hey [00:03] Cope57: thats a bad idea, and not very good advice [00:04] i've got a broadcom wireless chipset, the module is loaded [00:04] but its not detected by the Restricted Driver manager [00:04] IndyGunFreak I actually tried that but i get a error saying "Too Small Size" [00:04] it detected it from the live Cd, just not after the install [00:04] UncontrolleD: huh? [00:04] on dev/sdb1 [00:04] owen1_: 0.9.1 is in Intrepid [00:04] ravster: yah it has to keep track of your packages [00:04] UncontrolleD: it said 240gigs was to small? [00:04] owen1_: So, if you don't want to wait, you could backport that for your own personal use [00:04] !prevu | owen1_ [00:04] owen1_: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details [00:04] hey guys, can anybody help me? i think i have a "little" graphic driver problem [00:05] Question 2: Can I install Ubuntu in English and then switch to Spanish easily? Or would that involve uninstalling a lot of existing packages and installing Spanish-localized packages? [00:05] maybe I have been doing it all wrong then. I get my RPM's for my DebianBox at Freshrpms. I run .deb, .rpm, and source on my box. [00:05] Flannel: cool. should i use prevu? [00:05] Roxton: don't hold me to it, ut i believe installing language packs, is pretty easy.. [00:05] ravster: even if you get an rpm and convert it with alien it would still keep track of it "but chances id you will also encounter many stupid errors" [00:05] Pirate_Hunter: I see, thanks [00:05] is there a test I can run to check my /home partition, it seems that some folders got corrupted, tomboy goes to 100% cpu on boot without actruay starting and my wine apps are behaving oddly [00:05] IndyGunFreak: the first option says /dev/sdb1 43% (47.5 GB then the Ubuntu.8.4.1 says 57% 64.2 [00:05] owen1_: I would. For something like that it should work without any catches as well (although I can't say for sure, can't see the depends at the moment) [00:06] UncontrolleD: type this w/o quotes.... "/join #indygunfreak".. i dont' want you gettign lost in the channel and making a mistake.. [00:06] Pelo: sudo touch /forcefsck and reboot [00:06] Flannel: is there a site where i can see all this data as well? (what packages will be in the next ubuntu) [00:06] Flannel, I booted the live cd and sid fsck /dev/sdb3 but it came back clean [00:07] owen1_: packages.ubuntu.com but the searching functionality is broken at the moment. [00:07] owen1, packages.ubuntu.com perhaps [00:07] anyone running gnash here? [00:07] Flannel, on that forcefsck , do I need to specify a partition of will it do all of them ? [00:07] Pelo: than it is clean there is nothing wrong whihc is a good thing [00:07] Indy: Thanks. If I could abuse your intuition further, do you think I'd end up doing it for each package, or would it likely that the language-change would do a global update? (Was that vague, or what?) [00:07] Flannel: unop thanks [00:07] Pelo: It'll do all of them (assuming they're all scheduled in fstab) [00:07] Flannel, Pirate_Hunter thanks, rebooting [00:08] (06:07:16 PM) zelrikriando: anyone running gnash here? --- Not me, I am running swfdec [00:08] Cope57, how did you install it? [00:08] no Adobe on my system. [00:08] i'm on the channel Indy [00:08] Cope57, can you watch youtube fine? [00:08] Cope57: are you a bot? the next version AI? [00:08] aptitude install swfdec [00:08] Cope57: You generally don't need to include the questions in your replies. Just their name suffices. [00:08] UncontrolleD: no, i think you typed it wrong.. because i'm there to, and you're not [00:08] I also have gnome-swfdec === hfsdo_ is now known as hfsdo [00:09] hello there [00:09] hi [00:09] what package do I use to turn a compiled from source program into .deb format? [00:09] please i have problem in ubuntu hardy : i have orginal DVD what is the best programe can open the DVD movie ( thats show the menu and can chose anything from it ) [00:10] !checkinstall | ravster [00:10] ravster: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages.

[00:12] owen1_: You only need it while its building, you can remove it afterwards [00:13] owen1_: (the space, and prevu too, for that matter) [00:13] Cope57, I cannot find swfdec [00:13] How could I change the wine C drive to /opt/wine? [00:13] Flannel: so aptitude remove will free it? [00:13] please i have problem in ubuntu hardy : i have orginal DVD what is the best programe can open the DVD movie ( thats show the menu and can chose anything from it ) ( i tried Mplayer its say seek failed ) [00:13] kaminix: try winecfg [00:13] owen1_: No, since the space it takes up won't be covered by package management. You'll just go in and remove the directory [00:14] lunatikk: But any change of the C drive is inactivated :/ [00:14] d4t4min3r> im having problems with pulseaudio.. im trying to play songs on rhythmbox and i keep getting this error Failed to connect stream: invalied argument [00:14] Flannel: got it. thanks [00:14] and im my user.log i have this [00:14] Aug 17 17:11:45 d4t4min3r-desktop pulseaudio[5731]: module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: "device_id=0 sink_name=alsa_output.pci_8086_24d5_sound_card_0_alsa_playback_0"): initialization failed.

[00:28] "1dvd" [00:28] smelian: Yes, but it has to be something in the database, something there's a known article for. [00:28] arrrghh Run a memory check [00:28] "!dvd" [00:28] sometimes seg faults are memory issues [00:28] smelian: no quotes [00:28] yeah download alien,, and use the following syntax "alien --to-deb filename.rpm" to convert a fedora RPM to a .deb package file [00:28] sorry im learning how to use him [00:29] oop, was answering a question while my chat was scrolled at the top of my chat history :S [00:29] smelian: If you want to try the bot out, you can PM ubottu and do it in private. [00:29] cool thank you [00:30] Hi, I am looking for a decent firewall for my server. Can someone give me a recommendation? [00:30] he said Sorry, I don't know anything about dvd" thats mean its work ? [00:30] I was looking at either smoothwall, shorewall, or ipcop [00:30] iptables is a pretty good firewall for linux, but it is not very easy to use [00:31] if you set it up to drop all incoming syn packets, it does a good job [00:31] yeah, I was looking for something a bit higher level than iptables [00:31] smelian: No, that means you mistyped or you asked him about something undefined. [00:31] is the firestarter front end any good? [00:31] hmmmm [00:31] shibz, what do you want to do? Why do you want a firewall [00:32] something like apf for RHEL [00:32] Flannel, Pirate_Hunter it seems to be limited to apps that I have automaticaly start on boot, gdesklets, wine, tomboy, I renamed the .tomboy and .gdesklets folder copied back specific files and now those work fine, attempting the same with wine , but I wonder what other apps might be affected [00:33] Guest18683, i've done memory checks, i let it run for like 8 hours and it was fine. [00:33] Question: Anyone know where the standard ImageMagick "library" is located? I need to give the path of the library to another program, but nothing im giving it works [00:33] I think I am just going to use iptables actually [00:33] so can i figure out what this segfault relates to? [00:33] Leefmc: try whereis imagemagick or something like that [00:33] Leefmc: do you need the binary path ? [00:33] Hang on [00:34] Pelo: huh? if you got gdesklets starting on boot it might be that it hangs because it start is gnome, you may want to create a script that makes it start 15secs after you boot [00:34] Slart: I did "locate imagemagick" and found many results, but nothing i've tried has worked [00:34] Leefmc: which convert [00:34] tonyhawz: No idea honestly, Im trying to get PythonMagickWand running [00:34] Pirate_Hunter, that's usualy not a problem but that part is fixed now [00:34] Seg faults humour : http://xkcd.com/371/ [00:34] Pelo: ok [00:34] kernel: [ 398.794153] sed[7529] segfault at 00000385 eip 000000385 esp bfd2egfc error 4 [00:35] all jibberish to me. [00:35] Flannel [00:35] arrrghh : is this on the live cd or when it is installed? [00:35] Leefmc: which program is it that wants to use imagemagick? [00:35] those instructions on the links you gave me seem to be for an older version of Ubuntu [00:35] Guest18683, i'm tryin to do a live install or an alternate install or a server install. [00:35] arrrghhh : is it on the live cd or installed version? [00:35] hi can anyone help me? I have a prob with my headphones not working in 7.10.... [00:35] and they all do the same thing? [00:36] Guest23172, i'm just tryin to install. this is on the alternate cd [00:36] got wine fixed [00:36] Slart: Its a python interface to the ImageMagick API: PythonMagickWand [00:36] the livecd install just kinda died [00:36] Leefmc: you probably need the imagemagick-dev package [00:36] are you able to get the CD booted and run lspci?

[00:37] no one answered the post [00:37] arg [00:37] hi can anyone help me? I have a prob with my headphones not working in 7.10.... [00:37] Leefmc: have you tried giving it the path of the binaries? [00:38] Slart: No, where would they be? === yylex is now known as noni [00:38] Leefmc: /usr/bin/ [00:38] Guest23172, lol i'm tryin to build a NAS too [00:38] arrrghhh, are you running it in english or another language? [00:38] Slart: I looked there, i dont even recall seeing imagemagick [00:38] english [00:38] ok [00:38] keira-h_: Is there a reason you can't upgrade to Hardy? [00:38] Leefmc: the individual binaries are there, convert, identify etc [00:38] Leefmc: imagemagick is a group of binaries [00:39] Slart: So how would i give it a single ImageMagick path to the binaries? [00:39] i can but headphones dont work on that either and 7.10 works better for my amilo [00:39] Leefmc: run , which convert [00:39] bobertdos: prone to errors and missing files easier to do clean install and much more [00:39] arrrghhh did you verify the ISO image before burning it? [00:39] bobertdos: biggest advantage youll spend less time here asking for help [00:39] the system has passed rigorous memory tests and stability tests... [00:40] Leefmc: well.. I haven't tried this program you mentioned.. I suppose you had a way of supplying some kind of path.. or? [00:40] Why do people always talk to me when I don't adress them? [00:40] arrrghhh : no, I mean did you test the ISO image before it was burnt?? [00:40] Slart: It takes a single environment variable [00:40] Guest23172, well every disc i verified before burning and after, all pass. all discs are confirmed working on other machines. i even have an official ubuntu 8.04.1 disc from canocial. [00:40] * Pirate_Hunter going to get something to eat and drink [00:40] ok [00:40] * Pirate_Hunter wow past my bed time as well [00:40] Slart: And technically its not a program, just a python interface to imagemagick [00:40] I am not very good at this .... [00:40] I think I speak for everyone when I say that the sound on ubuntu is a piece of crap. [00:40] well, it's gotta be a hardware issue [00:41] Guest23172, lol neither am i so i came here. [00:41] and hardware that can easily be pulled out? [00:41] Pirate_Hunter, eat drink and sleep is that all you think about ? [00:41] yea i was hoping to narrow down hardware. the only thing that's installed is the optical drive, 1 hard drive. [00:41] Which channel is generally used for Arabic? [00:41] everything else is on the mobo [00:41] Leefmc: have you tried setting that enviroment variable to /usr/bin [00:41] motherboard, CPU, memory, hd and cd ? [00:41] ok [00:41] Flannel: are you still there? [00:41] surger: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu The graphics/names are a little different, but the process is the same [00:41] Slart: No [00:41] ? [00:41] Slart: I'll try [00:41] Flannel: I think I got it [00:41] Leefmc: and have you checked that the programmer hasn't designed it for windows [00:41] So the video card is sharing memory? [00:42] Guest23172, i have 2 sticks of memory and i've tried it with either and both, same. yes vid card is VIA. sharing memory. [00:42] Slart: Multi os [00:42] I did the check box to turn on (universe) [00:42] ok [00:42] Slart: Heh, the older version of it is in the ubuntu repo :p [00:42] bobertdos, if i upgrade is that better a [00:42] ? [00:42] Flannel: whats the command for the apt-get update? [00:42] Leefmc: hmm.. it ought to work then [00:42] Anyone here have a Lenovo Thinkpad? [00:42] Slart: He stopped supporting PythonMagick (or something) and made PythonMagickWand [00:42] keira-h_: Clean installs generally work better than upgrades. [00:43] arrrghhh I previously had some stability issues with a video card and shared memory, and it helped to change the amount of memory the video card was using [00:43] surger: sudo apt-get update [00:43] Are the screens on the Lenovo Thinkpads matte or glossy? Do they work well with Ubuntu [00:43] !arabic > smelian [00:43] smelian, please see my private message [00:43] Guest23172, hrm... i think it's set to 32 or something really low. do you suggest lower? [00:43] can you help me get my headphones working, or recommend me somewhere to start looking bobertdos? [00:44] jacoblyles: I believe they're matte, and they do. [00:44] arrrghhh, I would suggest that you post a message in the ubuntu forums because you'll get better help. [00:44] keira-h_: I can try. [00:44] Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/38348/ [00:44] theres the new bin [00:44] ty... [00:44] hrm okie [00:44] thanks [00:44] arrrghhh maybe try a different setting, but I would recommend posting in the forums [00:44] did I do it right? [00:44] what can i do? [00:44] ok [00:44] Slart: Hmm, his docs dont seem to mention the dev version though [00:44] I doubt anyone in here will be able to help you with this [00:44] http://public.procoders.net/PythonMagickWand/docs/html/index.html [00:44] Slart: And no, /usr/bin didnt work [00:44] i installed ubuntu on my flash drive...can i put the installer on it so if i plug it into a computer that doesnt have it i can install from my flash drive? [00:44] i have a his comming from the headphones so that is something [00:44] surger: Yep, you have universe enabled, sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager should work now [00:45] keira-h_: Well first, describe the problem. [00:45] i mean hiss [00:45] Flannel: Thanks, I think I'm buying a Lenovo today. I spent days looking for a laptop that works with Ubuntu and has a matte screen. Things were simple before Dell went all-glossy. [00:45] keira-h_: You might want to run alsamixer from the terminal to check the volume levels. [00:45] Flannel: Sweet! THANKS! It worked [00:46] Slart: Ugh, wish converting RAW images in python wasn't this hard :/ [00:46] well i have an amilo L7320 laptop and basically everything works except the headphone which when i plug in, the sound in the main speakers stops but there is no sound comming out of the headphones.... [00:46] Flannel: What do I do now that its installed? [00:46] i already have done alsa mixer bobertdos [00:46] Leefmc: mm, I've been googling a bit but I haven't found anything really useful [00:46] hello world [00:47] is there a tick somewhere that maybe i need to tick, other than alsamixer [00:47] Slart: I've been stuck here for hours heh :/ [00:47] surger: Go use it. Its under preferences. [00:47] Slart: PythonMagick "works", but i have yet to make it successfully open a RAW file, though i could be doing it wrong. I'd never know, because there seem to be no docs.. [00:47] keira-h_: and the volume levels were okay? [00:47] Flannel: Found it thanks! [00:47] yes totally [00:48] and like i say there is a hiss comming out of the headphones, so... they are connected in someway, just no sound [00:48] keira-h_: Have you tested them with System->Preferences->Sound? [00:49] no...i'll do that now.... [00:49] keira-h_: Do they work in a Windows system? [00:49] yes totally [00:49] Leefmc: sigh.. nothing.. just weird german pages.. I'm giving up and going to bed instead [00:49] Leefmc: hope you can get it to work [00:49] Slart: haha, k, thanks for trying [00:50] Slart: Heh, me too [00:50] and they did once work on ubuntu but i reinstalled ubuntu and then they stopped [00:50] okay, well I have to go unfortunately, really though, go to Hardy (from CD, don't try a direct upgrade) [00:50] Hello!

[01:07] Khamael: its gnome, the toolbar at the bottom is awn [01:07] Sitherae, only time I've had to do that is after restoring /home directories, did you copy it from an old account maybe? [01:07] anto9us: nope [01:07] can some 1 help me? [01:08] IndyGunFreak: so the window named example window is nautilus? [01:08] Kaketyv: the bottom toolbar is AWN... then you just have to find out what theme he used. [01:08] Khamael: looks like it. [01:08] AWN? [01:08] !awn | Kaketyv [01:08] Kaketyv: Avant Window Navigator is a dock-like navigation bar for the Linux desktop that positions itself at the bottom of the screen. Homepage http://wiki.awn-project.org/ Awn-Manager can be found the Gutsy !backports repository and in Universe in Hardy [01:09] tnx [01:09] I am trying to upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy. The upgrade isn't making any progress. It's been sitting at Generating locales for ~3 hours. [01:09] Khamael: see above also. [01:10] okay back [01:10] Kaketyv: the picture is called ubuntu mockup, it's a mockup, maybe there isnt a theme that is like that and you can't get that desktop unless you created...just a thought [01:10] I ended up just rebooting [01:10] so how do I get this compiz to start working? [01:11] hiho merry folks. [01:11] ok [01:12] Can anyone help me with getting compiz to work? [01:12] !ask [01:12] surger: do you have your graphics driver. [01:12] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [01:12] installed [01:13] yeah [01:13] its just an ATI thats built into the mother board [01:13] download envyng (google it) and try that [01:13] winrid: envy is bad advice. [01:13] then download simple compiz manager from syaptic [01:14] why? worked on all other pcs [01:14] i never used ati though [01:14] winrid: you've clearly not been here very long... envy has caused a lot of problems [01:14] IndyGunFreak: how is envy bad advice? [01:14] why is it my graphics card not supporting the compiz [01:14] IndyGunFreak: envyng is actually encouraged by ubuntu [01:14] !envyng [01:14] 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 [01:14] SNuxoll: have you saw the problems envy has caused? [01:14] you need the right driver conig [01:14] IndyGunFreak: see the above factoid [01:14] i did.. did you? [01:14] look at the end [01:15] I have a old laptop adn was wondering if i could install ubuntu MID on it [01:15] IndyGunFreak: envyng is in the repo's [01:15] dang [01:15] SNuxoll: i'm well aware of that. [01:15] IndyGunFreak: I don't see how it's therefore 'bad advice' [01:15] it can have various results from works, to fails!! [01:15] IndyGunFreak: obviously it has a chance of breakage, but it doesn't pull stunts that automatix did [01:15] IndyGunFreak: it doesn't break upgrades, and it's easy to fix [01:15] http://albertomilone.com/envyngfaq.html#A [01:15] [01:15] install the .deb package then launch envy: system tools: envyNG. nvidia>auto hardware detection>apply>get some coffee. [01:15] [01:15] then restart. [01:15] winrid: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:15] i never suggested it did.

[01:21] SNuxoll: thanks that worked, I wonder why the others didn't. :/ [01:22] surger: ahh, xchat-gnome doesn't have a nicklist, instead it has this funky dropdown thing, there should be your nick next to the text-entry, it's actually a button [01:22] tacosteve: no its no there, how do u bring it up? [01:22] surger: click it and a list of nicks will pop up [01:22] piko_water: use pastebin [01:22] krazihrz: because brasero is awesome?

I try using VLC but the audio and video skip all the time and it looks all pixellated on a 1 month old laptop [01:23] is it possible to create/run a complete ubuntu 8.04 o/s on a usb flash drive ? [01:23] SNuxoll: is Irssi cooler? [01:23] box: yes, though it wouldn't be easy [01:24] Help: anyone have trouble with Brasero eg causes lockups or just sits there 'getting size' ???? [01:24] surger: dunno about 'cooler', I think it has better functionality myself, though it's not for everyone if you *MUST* have pointy-clicky gui silliness [01:24] SNuxoll :: well as long as your system has capability to boot from usb device should work somewhat simple ?? [01:24] SNuxoll: I'm new to linux so I probably should stick with this for awhile til I get the hang of this, haha [01:25] box: yeah, though don't ask me to find a guide or anything [01:25] box: well, if you have a <4gb drive, it should simple... [01:25] piko_water:if you can play with other software, that means the problem's not in the file. But mplayer shouldn't give a problem. I use that a format almost all days and never had a problem. Have you ever managed to see a mkv file in mplayer before? [01:25] SNuxoll: Back to compiz, I have it all installed. But nothing seems to have changed graphics wise. What do I need to do? [01:25] i mean > 4gb...

[01:27] thanks very are to you who answer :-) [01:27] i think you can map users on nfs but i wouldn't know how to go about doing that. [01:27] carandraug, or you can tell me to convert mkv into some other format like .iso or something else that will be great [01:27] is it possible to convert mkv into iso [01:28] SNuxoll: you mean visual effects? Switch from 'None" to 'Extra' ? [01:28] surger: yup [01:28] SNuxoll: It says the composite is not available and now its frozen again [01:28] kapu, did you search for this at all? http://www.linux-noob.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2228 [01:29] surger: your video driver doesn't support compositing then, and as such you can't run compiz [01:29] hi [01:29] NOOO!

[01:35] <[Luc1fer]> hwilde: its already there, [01:35] surger: pretty much [01:35] hello noob [01:35] lol [01:35] dang [01:35] lol :) [01:35] the is some free software irc? just for ask for alternatives? [01:36] hwilde: They say that you can look at the LG, Blackberry, and Samsung phones. [01:36] carandraug, nope i cannot play [01:36] haostun: there's all sorts of free irc clietns [01:36] <[Luc1fer]> about-plugins shows icedtea as its java interpreter. [01:36] haostun: irssi, xchat, konversation, kvirc [01:36] this was just a business machine from my office, it probably just has a crappy video card in it [01:36] Anyone have experience with setting up Emerald on a ATi Mobility FireGL 9000? [01:36] Nutzebahn, people have to pay premium to develop for all of those. [01:36] ah there ut goes with totem-xine [01:36] No. [01:36] Not the Blackberry. [01:36] SNuxoll: if I go out and buy an NVidia graphics card what do you recommend? I dont want or need a hardcore one [01:36] no.. thats are client.. i mean a channel [01:37] mike_: many posts in the forum..sorry i don't have ati..have nvidia === vincent is now known as Guest92378 [01:37] @surger Nvidia 9600GT is pretty good [01:37] My sister has installed free software on her Blackberry [01:37] carandraug, i didnt try to reinstall it but even video is not displaying [01:37] mike__: how much do those run? [01:37] surger: or a Geforce 7600GTS, doesn't really matter much [01:37] piko_water: reinstall mplayer and then smplayer (is a very good, in my opinion, skin for mplayer). I can play everything with mplayer, never have problems before and I've seen some quite strange formats [01:38] how much do those video cards run? [01:38] Having trouble ssh into a machine I did a reinstall to, can I safely delete my known_hosts file on the client I'm trying to ssh from? [01:38] HAL9000, try ssh with the -vvv option. does it tell you there is offending key [01:38] Yes offending key [01:38] Can anyone help me enable Emerald themes? I JUST did a reinstall of Ubuntu [01:38] when I install the hardware will Ubuntu auto detect the drivers? How do I install the correct drivers and do all that? [01:39] surger, just do it man [01:39] HAL9000, it tells you waht line in the file to delete [01:39] hwilde: :) [01:39] mike__: yes, one second [01:39] hwilde: thanks [01:39] Thanks RequinB4 [01:40] j1, the licenses are $ but it works anywhere, from any computer === house is now known as Guest66230 [01:40] mike__: http://hacktivision.com/index.php/2008/06/07/how-to-enhance-ubuntu-8-04-hardy-heron-e?blog=2 [01:41] <_schism_> evening all [01:41] How do I talk to someone in the red chat? [01:41] <_schism_> does anyone here run boinc in ubuntu? [01:42] hwilde: u mean anywhere anytime like MS used to advertise their netbui protocol ? :) [01:42] !irc [01:42] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [01:42] !irc test [01:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about irc test [01:42] !pm | mike__ [01:42] mike__: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude.

[01:43] what? [01:43] I have a problem: main system sound volume is allways lower (can be heard, but quite lower) under ubuntu than under Windows (I have a dual OS boot) Has anybody experienced that? [01:43] I have a Mobility FireGL 9000 card, so it's kind of confusing to setup Emerald [01:44] hwilde: I'm guessing just delete the line in the known_hosts ? [01:44] HAL9000, yep [01:44] Thanks ! [01:44] piko_water: I believe I know what the problem is. I think it has to do with the drivers you are choosing to play. The smplayer skin allows you to change them easily (otherwise you'll have ti use the command line), that's the reason I'm asking you to install it to [01:44] <_schism_> nandus_ is it a native instal or wubi? I have wubi and its the opposite in my instal [01:44] HAL9000, it does mean the remote side has changed tho you know [01:44] I would like to ask how to change primary network interface in hardy [01:44] ? [01:44] _schism_ it's a native install [01:44] HAL9000, as in someobdy could have swapped out machines on that IP and be catching your login password [01:44] And whenever I see a guide on enabling compiz/emerald, it says to edit my xorg.conf. So, I use gedit and then my xorg.conf is blank, or it doesn't have the right lines === house is now known as Guest89969 === sean is now known as Guest58961 [01:45] oasisfai, you have two interfaces connected? [01:45] yes [01:45] <_schism_> nandus_: I think it may be a driver issue, my w/l card works stronger under ubuntu than under windoze but I am a noob so I am not sure [01:46] I want the eth1 be the primary network interface. [01:47] _schism_ I also wonder if it's something around drivers; under windows I got to install the manufacturer's drivers and under ubuntu I'm using ALSA... It might have something to do with that, but regretably I couldn't find Asus support for Linux in this area (my MB is ASUS) [01:47] oasisfai, why not just shut down the other one? [01:47] !alsa | Nandus_ [01:47] Nandus_: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [01:47] hwilde, I want my eth0 become a bridge. [01:48] Thank you ubottu, I will try going through the support pages you mention, I've already checked and ALSA is selected [01:48] Thanks you too hwilde === ApOgEE- is now known as ApOgEE-- [01:48] <_schism_> Nandus_: what ubottu said :) Fortunatly my instal just worked on my laptop, my linux skills are nil, I only use it on rare occasions but I am trying to figgure stuff out :) [01:48] can someone with a desktop comp tell me what temperature their mobo is running at ?, the mobo not the cpu [01:49] when the eth0 bind to the bridge, hardy cannot use my eth1 automatically. [01:50] Hi, pals. I have a question about changing the volume names under the Places menu (or the mount config, I don know really) [01:50] Pelo: less than 40 celcius depending where the sensors are installed [01:50] :) [01:50] <[Luc1fer]> can someone tell me why java won't run, this is the output of --version and such : http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/38364/ [01:51] oasisfai, /sbin/route check yoru default gws. traffic will og out there [01:51] j1, ever get any higher when the cpu under heavy load ? [01:51] sure! [01:51] * Pelo wonders if his temperature fixation isn' bordering on the excessive [01:51] my laptop for example sow turns off when it's too hot [01:51] hwilde, Is that mean I have add another default gateway? [01:52] oasisfai, do you have 2 ? [01:52] don't feel like to open it again cause it's a pain in the but [01:52] yes [01:52] the pc it's open all the time [01:52] I have 2 network interface. [01:52] just vacuum sometimes [01:52] oasisfai, your traffic will try to get out the first default gateway, then failover to the second [01:52] hey guys ... what are the -envy drivers attached to the video drivers in aptitude? [01:53] jimcooncat, my mobo just booted from cold at 32°C for the mobo , 10 minutes ago and the temp as been climbing every since it is now at 40°C, I'm waiting to see if it goes higher, earlier it was at 43°C when idling, [01:53] hwilde, ok, thanks, I try at once. [01:53] insta, NV nvidia [01:53] sorry jimcooncat that was meant for j1 [01:53] oasisfai, you can try deleting one to see where the traffic goes [01:53] ok [01:54] heh, makes sense ... then why is there one on fglrx? :) [01:54] Pelo: try different drivers..if you have other os like xp see the temps with xp [01:54] and then compare [01:54] some pcs runn warmer than others ... [01:54] like women [01:54] j1, yeah just did that, I spend the day making a new air duct for the cpu fan , cause the previous one was too large and blocking airflow to the back casefan I didn'T get the results I was expecting , I was vondering if I might have had some bad dust in there [01:55] <[Luc1fer]> can someone tell me why java won't run, this is the output of --version and such : http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/38364/ [01:55] j1, don't think it is a driver issue, mind you atm I have fancontrol running , and the fan aren'T at full but still [01:55] 412C right now [01:55] 42°C [01:56] does mplayer support dvdmenu? [01:56] it seems I can't select any menu when playing a dvd [01:56] Gin, totem-xine does [01:56] Pelo: maybe give it a try..remove the lids completely and see..start to eliminate the easier... [01:56] Gin, i recoment SMplayer [01:57] shibz, smplayer is only a frontend. I asume it won't support dvdmenu [01:57] Pelo, totem-xine cna't play 720p video smoothly on my pc [01:57] hi [01:57] hi [01:57] Hello [01:57] j1, thanks, I'll just quit this chat as well and let it run idle for a while , see what happens, 42°C now this is realy buging me [01:57] later folks [01:57] Gin, you try vlc? [01:57] hi [01:57] later [01:57] shibz, yes, with vlc hd video lags [01:57] pelo [01:58] shiloh7, yes, with vlc hd video lags [01:58] is there a way to change the volume names under the Places Menu? [01:58] if VLC lags then that must be a configuration problem [01:59] <[Luc1fer]> whats the easiest way to enable kernel support for toshiba. i.e. my laptop. [01:59] isn't there a ubuntu mplayer package with dvdmenu support? [01:59] <[Luc1fer]> required kernel toshiba support not enabled. is the error [02:00] luc1fer: which one?

[02:04] when i login to ubuntu, is that gdm? [02:04] @user01 yes [02:05] @user01 or rather, gdm is the login manager [02:05] R_YoYo_R: yeah. All that compiling can be quite tiresome [02:05] crashsystems, so i can change the login screen with gdm themes? [02:05] @user01 yes you can [02:05] @user01 its in the preferences menu [02:05] Help: can anyone talk to me about burning disks from Ubuntu - the interface and actions are a tad confusing thanks.

[02:06] Hi, pals. [02:06] is there a way to change the volume names under the Places Menu, or the mount directory names? [02:07] I am trying to launch Opera, but am getting nothing. It is shown in the processes list as running, but it is not. I recently used fsck to recover my system, so i dont know if that had anything to do with it. [02:07] carandraug, currently its saying writing files to DVD [02:07] Mozilla is running fine. [02:07] Anyone know why remote desktop would be so slow over my own lan? [02:07] crashsystems, thought it was under appearances but dont see anything for the login screen [02:08] histo, using ssh X-? [02:08] So, in the past, I've had apt have a problem and lock up if it only half-downloads a package. So, I removed the entire /var/cache/apt directory to try and clear out apt's cache, hoping it would rebuild. ... it apparently didn't. [02:08] carandraug, now its come up with a write error. It actually seems that it cannot write to DVD without using a utility like Brasero or similar? [02:08] shiloh7: Nah I used whatever system > preferences > remote desktop enables [02:08] <[Luc1fer]> j1: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/38367/ [02:08] shiloh7: I believe vnc [02:08] @user01 System/Administration/Login_Window [02:08] alistair: go to add/remove and install brasero [02:09] PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT ubuntu [02:09] I'm having issues getting the sound to work in zsnes and switching the sdl sound libraries isn't helping. [02:09] what a lackluster halfassed OS [02:09] carandraug, yea, Ive done that, but the stupid this is that it seems you can drag and drop files using Konqueror but it actually does not work that way. [02:09] Luc1fer: if i recall correctly hardware starts from 0 so u have two cpus :) [02:09] charsets: yeap thats why we all use it. [02:10] dispicable [02:10] carandraug, eg If I drop the files they appear on the DVD directory immediately with a [burn file] button on the screen [02:10] ITS ALL ABOUT WINDOWS [02:10] charsets, ? [02:10] charsets, then your confused, fill out the paperwork for the refund, and go back to M$ [02:10] charsets, so go use it [02:10] or maybe dual core :) [02:10] NO [02:10] it gives me errors randomly [02:10] alistair: I don't use KDE. Why don't you use brasero's own interface? That's how I do it? [02:10] I am trying to launch Opera, but am getting nothing. It is shown in the processes list as running, but it is not. I recently used fsck to recover my system, so i dont know if that had anything to do with it. Mozilla runs fine. [02:15] charsets: what's your problem? if you be nice ask ppl here will help you... [02:15] try to start it in the terminal [02:15] charsets, please stop [02:15] suck me? [02:15] hi, anyone that have tried to use motion in ubuntu? [02:15] Can someone please assist me in getting Suspend OR Hibernate working on Ubuntu. Either one will do. [02:15] <[Luc1fer]> j1: hence the SMP kernel I got that, I need to load the toshiba module into the kernel. that is what I asked for. [02:15] charsets needs to understand ..yes u..sorry ;) [02:15] carandraug, when I use brasero interface it just sits there creating a checksum till I reboot. [02:15] you mean effects? [02:15] luc1fer: you should not need to do that anymore [02:15] it's auto [02:15] Wow whats up with the servers? [02:15] unless you are runnign an older kernel [02:15] <[Luc1fer]> j1: I need it because toshset requires the module loaded.

I just got home, and it was at the login screen (I left it just at the desktop), so no problem I thought, I logged in and no connection to the network. I tried /etc/init.d/networking restart and it said ok, but still wasn't connecting. I rebooted, and after rebooting the network was fine, but as I was in fire [03:30] fox it died (firefox). Just stopped and the window disappeared. No error message or anything. I've gotten the message "Internal error: HAL not responding" a couple of times, and the first time I opened xchat it died the same and I had to open it again. I did a search on the HAL error (which is the only message I'm getting) and the pages I could read before firefox died again seemed to be having a different prob [03:30] lem [03:30] Flannel: OK cool, thanks for your help, and Winrid too. [03:31] installed ubuntu, tried to reboot after installation finished and cd ejected, now the system wont boot from the hdd, i can always reboot from cD and fix a broken system to see if it works but why would this happend? any ideas? [03:31] is it safe to upgrade ubuntu distribution from the alternate cd? some people say it may crash the system, but I'm not sure.... [03:31] bugs? corruption? [03:32] alokito: it is [03:32] Bhavesh, are you dual booting? [03:32] alokito: or at least, as safe as any upgrade is.

But the terminal doesn't go ALL the way down to the bottom of my screen. :( I made a 3rd option which looks good, but it doesn't stay behind other windows. Anyway, I'll probably just go with the second option (devilspie) in that link you sent. [03:51] using ssh. Yes. [03:52] dumbdum; you know where it is.. in /etc .. use vim or gedit or nano.. [03:52] Gaming4JC, ssh sarthor@192.168.0.100 .. it asks for password. after putting password.. noting happen [03:52] winrid: let me know if that fixes your problem [03:52] sarthor: Can you try using FileZilla to SSH or another reliable ssh client?

I don't know what he's after, but it involves editing resolv.conf or resolve.conf, whatever that is [04:02] "gedit /etc/resolv.conf" opens an empty window. [04:02] dumbdum: what are you trying to get at? [04:02] How can I use tor in the ubuntu network settings? [04:02] <[Luc1fer]> Im having a problem with java running, icedtea is there but it won't run yahoo pool. has anyone else gotten this working and what are they using? [04:02] How can I use tor in the ubuntu network settings? [04:02] any help for my ssh problem, i have problem in my client i think. how to remove and reinstall this.?? [04:02] uninstall icedtea [04:03] dumbdum: occasionaly it may be empty, as dhcp will usually give you the correct settings, unless you have ones you want to force [04:03] dumbdum: close it and try "gedit /etc/resolve.conf" it shouldn't have the "e" in it, but maybe it does for you === alokito_ is now known as alokito [04:03] luc1frt, use firefox, and download and isntall java from www.java.com [04:03] How can I use tor in the ubuntu network settings? [04:03] remove all java files you have now [04:03] thats what i did and i play yahoo pool [04:03] so i'm gettin an error on my install of ubuntu: the debootstrap program exited with an error (return value 139). i checked the logs and i am getting a segfault, is there anyway to narrow down the actual issue? [04:03] zeus_: i believe there's a wiki-entry for that [04:03] <[Luc1fer]> winrid: and use what instead [04:03] the java from www.java.com [04:03] arrrghhh: how old is your system? [04:03] My network doesnt work. I have Windows XP Home running in virtualbox. When I start Virtual Box I get an error about NAS [04:04] the latest works [04:04] sudo apt-get ubuntu-restricted-extras will install java, flash and all [04:04] sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf [04:04] well, it doesnt work alokito, i wish it did [04:04] and when it does work, it admittedly, sucks [04:04] <[Luc1fer]> alokito: I know a few people who had problems with that. [04:04] hmm [04:04] Mecha25, i'm building an NAS device, and it's not extremely new... it's a VIA board with everything onboard [04:05] I had no problems, yet [04:05] in hardy [04:05] how do i use less cpu time with java? [04:05] hwilde: glad your still here, are you awake? [04:05] im using xbuntu [04:05] carandraug: winrid: even better, since I use alltray, I set it to if it has (AllTray) in the title. That way, other terminal windows can still go on top, but my background terminal won't [04:05] arrrghhh: well, if ubuntu is erroring during the install process, it might mean the board can't handle it. did you try using the Alternate Install disk? [04:05] Mecha25, i used this exact same hardware (minus the hard drives) with xubuntu just fine (although i had to use the alternate installer.) [04:05] <[Luc1fer]> winrid: so remove java and reinstall... whats wrong with the java-sun-jre? [04:05] perillux, good [04:05] I cannot bot into ubuntu after installing. I get a message like this: *Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [OK], but then nothing. [04:05] arrrghhh: then that's your issue. Ubuntu is heavier than xubuntu [04:05] Mecha25, yea i've tried the alternate & server install cds. [04:06] It says I mus add to /etc/resolv.conf as in man.resolve.conf or ensur I am connected to an ISP? [04:06] luc1fer: sorry i made a mistake, dont remove anything with -sun [04:06] * Pelo is not a happy camper [04:06] im not sure, because im not in the machine [04:06] I need some help with dual booting ubuntu and vista.. i just installed ubuntu but loaded grub onto the partition with ubuntu so I don't see it on booting.. can anyone help? [04:06] Mecha25, well i started with ubuntu before and installed xubuntu-desktop for a lighter desktop. gnome was chugging just fine on this box. however this was before hardy... i'm wondering if i should try to get a 7.10 alternate disc or something... [04:06] tensei: you need to change your windows boot loaders, use EasyBCD [04:07] sam62; thats a graphics driver problem, boot into safe mode and fix x server [04:07] mecha25: is that opensource?

[04:09] How can I use tor in the ubuntu network settings? [04:09] Is it possible to run a command in the terminal so that it's not dependent on the terminal?

[04:41] what's the main IM for ubuntu? [04:41] linxuz3r: Remove the package, remove the infringing repository, then install the package again. [04:41] RyanPrior, I was asking if here were any obvious issues. bassically, I was able to find my nas previously, when I upgraded to 8.04 with a fresh install, I can no longer have the NAS show up. [04:41] UncontrolleD: Pidgin [04:41] UncontrolleD: Pidgin [04:41] <[Luc1fer]> alokito: nothing is more simple than the compositing in xfce :D [04:41] Where there any known issues?

[04:42] Mecha25: hardware 101 :-) AFAIK, laptops from that era are only ide [04:42] nice [04:42] in progressing of installing compizconfig-settings-manager [04:42] RyanPrior: i removed the infringing repository but the package manager still show the latest package from the infringing repo [04:42] mecha25: it's nice, my wife can use the vista side, and I love the ubuntu 2 desktop feature.. makes working super easy [04:42] Mecha25: ergo, is there an ide-specific install? [04:42] Uncontrolled: Yes, it's pretty multi versatile by way of IM software. [04:42] RyanPrior: Bingo, thanks. [04:42] tensei: you can have more than 2, you know [04:42] Dang, that was annoying. [04:42] i just installed ubuntu in a vm. and i clicked to install all 107 updates (118.5mb) and it seems to be hung. system monitor indicates update manager is using 0% cpu. should i kill it? [04:42] waey: go to System>> Preferences>> Appearance>> Visual Effects [04:42] anyone able to help me with that? [04:42] paradine: not that I know of [04:42] fileroller doesn't handle rar files? [04:43] puff: ctrl+w is a Firefox shortcut for "close the current tab" [04:43] mark-china: /etc/apache2/sites-available [04:43] and try to enable extra effects from there [04:43] tdseth: can you elaborate what you mean "cannot see the NAS"? [04:43] is it possible to download it directly thru terminal right? [04:43] RyanPrior: Ah... I'd rather have a firefox preference that won't let people pop windows without decorators ;-). [04:43] tdseth: like... can't ping it? can't mount it? [04:43] paradynebedouwin: NO! [04:43] mecha25: yeah.. i figure once i get full up on the two i'll move to three :-) [04:43] I open up network connections, and I go to workgroup.

[04:44] tdseth: so trying to connect via samba [04:44] RyanPrior: i removed the infringing repository but the package manager still show the latest package from the infringing repo [04:44] mark-china: Edit your sites-available entry for your site, have "ServerName foo.com" on one line, next line "ServerAlias www.foo.com" [04:44] UncontrolleD: Unless you've customized the install, Pidgin should come preinstalled. [04:44] tdseth: do you know the IP of the NAS? [04:44] bedouwin: killing during an update can mess up your whole VM, I had to reinstall when it happened to me [04:44] RyanPrior: Any idea what it's called? [04:44] tdseth: first step would be to ping it [04:44] Can some one tell me how do I tar xvfz Filename to go right to user/src and Im using root [04:44] I unfortunately don't know the IP of the nas :-/. [04:44] joker: man tar [04:44] thanks brb [04:44] tdseth: is the NAS located on your personal network? [04:44] why would ubuntu server be able to boot after successful install on a 40G hdd? [04:44] puff, where do i edit that? [04:45] puff: maybe it's in a plugin. I know there are some advanced JavaScript control plugins which allow you to fine-tune that stuff more. [04:45] paradyne, yup. [04:45] Bhavash: I assume you mean "not" be able to boot [04:45] tdseth: do you have access to your router? [04:45] yup. [04:45] Mecha25 thanks for correcting [04:45] my first inclination would be to look at the DHCP clients on your router [04:45] Bhavesh: what happens when you try to boot it? [04:45] Mecha25 it's been one of those days ( 2 weeks actually) [04:45] tdseth: find the IP address there, then ping it [04:45] I don't believe the linksys firmware will tell me who all is there. [04:45] tdseth: it will [04:45] er the dhcp connections* [04:46] Mecha25 install goes fine, at the end it ejects the CD, and i reboot, and bios is not able to boot from it [04:46] Bhavesh: are you trying to dual boot?

[04:46] Hey how do I determine my chipset on my laptop? [04:46] puff, where do i edit that? [04:46] ok, nm. i killed it and tried again, and this time it prompted me for the administrator password unlike last time :/ [04:47] g3n0: open a terminal [04:47] g3n0: cat /proc/cpuinfo [04:47] Bhavesh: then it's not the drive... is it a brand-new server? [04:47] RyanPrior: thanks bro === zfer4r5 is now known as JAJA110010101 === ce-cantik_ is now known as booy [04:47] Mecha25 well it's hardware i am putting together.. dual PIII , trying to setup a 'storage' server [04:47] linxuz3r: Did you get it worked out? [04:47] G3N0: which chipset? Most things can be determined by the lspci command and/or dmesg [04:47] paradyne, unforntunately that's not on here ;-/. [04:47] Hi All, I'm having a bit of trouble determining how to install a driver for my Intel GM965/GL960 video card... I have ubuntu amd 64 8.04, could anybody help me please? [04:47] RyanPrior: why do i have to remove the package to update the package list in the repository? [04:47] RyanPrior: yes [04:47] paradyne: thanks [04:48] tdseth: there should be a status... or an administration... [04:48] bobertdos: not sure I'm trying to figure out to see if my chipset is supported by aircrack [04:48] Bhavsh: you have to make sure the BIOS recognizes the HDD as bootable [04:48] linxuz3r: Because removing a repository doesn't down-grade packages. I don't really think there is any way to down-grade packages in the Debian system. [04:48] Bhavsh: try looking in "Boot Order" or "boot options" in your bios settings [04:48] there are both... neither will let you see the connections ;-/. [04:48] linxuz3r: If there is, it's something weird and out of the way. [04:48] tdseth: k... go back to the LAN tab then [04:48] Mecha25 it's the first hdd in the sequence, and if i swap out hdd, with another one it boots just fine, but my original problem shows up .. long story [04:48] * paradyne thinks... [04:48] whats a good apps that could burn video in to dvd? [04:49] RyanPrior: not downgrading but simply updating the list [04:49] ozpowermo: you shouldn't need to install it, usually Intel drivers come pre installed [04:49] Quick question is it safe to install individual packages from newer distributions to older? For instance 8.04 package ot postgres to the 7.10 [04:49] I looking at neo for linux is there other thats under gpl? [04:49] acp_: Brasero - it comes with Ubuntu Hardy by default. [04:49] Bhavesh: did you make sure to install grub correctly? [04:49] Is there any way to recover if a program (say firefox running flash?) decides to use up all available system resources ? [04:49] Does anyone know how to force ubuntu to install to an IDE chipset (rather than a SATA)? [04:49] Mecha25: I checked the Systems->Hardware Drivers and the video card is not listed there [04:50] OLAS [04:50] paradyne, there is no LAN tab. [04:50] phantomcircuit: Magic SysRQ keys, ctrl+alt+backspace [04:50] ozpowermo: then it's probably already installed and working [04:50] ALGUIEN ME PODRIA AYUDAR CON UBUNTU [04:50] !es | HUNTER [04:50] HUNTER: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[04:51] Bhavesh: the default install should install it, unless you tell it not to [04:51] can anyone direct me to the documentation that lets you set up localhost to look for other folders rather than /var/www ? or if this isn't the right place please direct me to the correct channel [04:51] tdseth: k [04:51] I did it once but forgot how [04:51] OK [04:51] I NEED HELP FOR UBUNTU [04:52] is your caps key broken ? [04:52] don't we all? [04:52] tdseth: so, look through the different submenus until you find dhcp clients table [04:52] paradyne, yup. [04:52] found the thing. [04:52] Mecha25: well, I'm not sure what's wrong then, the graphics are really not what I expect... I'm running at my screens native resolution, but I'm still seeing some pretty nasty edges... I tried changing the fonts, but no luck [04:52] hey everyone [04:52] Mecha25 i know.. i have installed from same cd about 8 times so far, but so far two times, it would not install grub and i could not boot from it [04:52] Hunter: You'll get a better response with the caps lock off than on. [04:52] phantomcircuit: Well, there are lots of different terminal kill commands. I think killall firefox does the trick in most cases. Could somebody verify that for me, please? [04:52] tdseth: great, now see if you can find the NAS ip in there [04:52] nevermind [04:52] crypto.h:12:26: error: openssl/hmac.h: No such file or directory [04:52] I found it again [04:52] bobertdos, lol i know that [04:52] k [04:52] found it. [04:52] ozpwermo: try turning on font smoothing, under System, Preferences, Appearance [04:52] I can ping it [04:52] bobertdos, the bin is firefox-bin [04:52] Bhavesh: corrupt CD? [04:52] but i cant get to a terminal if all system resources are used up now can i? [04:53] for some reason my compiler under ubuntu is broken when i try to gcc -o stuff it will not let me.,, [04:53] Rhorse: Yes, true [04:53] hmm, I can connect to it with the ip. [04:53] When I go to make install I get this error: crypto.h:12:26: error: openssl/hmac.h: No such file or directory [04:53] crypto.h:13:25: error: openssl/sha.h: No such file or directory [04:53] crypto.h:15:25: error: openssl/rc4.h: No such file or directory [04:53] crypto.h:16:25: error: openssl/aes.h: No such file or directory [04:53] tdseth: this is good. it means that the NAS hasn't died :-) [04:53] Mecha25: it's already on, I guess only the larger letters fonts are kinda messed up... [04:54] I need some help installing the X-Fi drivers. Who has had some experience with that? [04:54] ozpowermo: how large are they? [04:54] Mecha25 nope.. i checked integrity.. and i already used the same cd a few times [04:54] blarg_: Do you get an error? [04:54] Bhavesh: you sure BIOS recognizes the drive? if so, then it's probably a broken drive, or you're installing it oddly [04:54] :-P [04:54] paradyne I knew it had not ;-) [04:54] does anyone know of any software to run a ps2 hard drive? [04:54] Mecha25 yes bios recognizes, and i am able to partition and install the system without any issue.. it was running until a couple of months a go [04:55] Mecha25: It's in some web sites, like youtube, when I start a full screen video and the time of the video is really not pretty [04:55] now, how do I get to it without an ip? :-P [04:55] tdseth: both in the "dropped connection" and "cratered sense" [04:55] that is the question [04:55] ozpowermo: that's Flash being crappy, not your video card. Flash is kinda proprietary, and proprietary software for linux tends to be less than spectacular [04:55] does anyone know of any software to run a ps2 hard drive? [04:55] tdseth: one more question, were you able to connect to it before through the GUI? [04:55] Bhavesh: what happened a couple months ago [04:56] Slammed: can you hook it up to your PC? [04:56] yeah. [04:56] slammed87d21: I myself don't, but have a neighbor who is a PS2 geek who has stated there are a couple installs out there that can be used on PS2's. (I got a PS3 so never bothered to find out about it.) [04:56] I was able to with 7.10 [04:56] Mecha25 oh it was in another computer that i was using, and now i am trying to move it into this new machine i am buidling [04:56] tdseth: but now you're on 8.04? [04:56] sorry i did not mean to imply that it stopped working a couple of months a go [04:56] paradyne, yup. [04:56] thanks, btw. [04:56] Sup guys [04:56] Mecha25: I'll have to live with it :) [04:56] Bhavesh: you get just a black screen when booting? [04:56] anybody have a good flash development IDE for linux? [04:56] bhavesh, tried an external monitor? [04:57] tdseth: have you tried restarting the smbclient service? [04:57] ozpowermo: flash 10 will supposedly fix stuff, not sure [04:57] Mecha25 i get bios message "no boot disk found please insert boot disk and press enter" [04:57] tdseth: hmm [04:57] cwill747: I don't think there's any Flash development software at all for linux [04:57] there is no smbclient service here [04:57] paradyne, how would I go about that? [04:57] Bhavesh: that's a "you don't have grub" error [04:57] azn_emo_boi101 nothing wrong with screen. just that grub won't install to boot after installation is finished [04:57] bhavesh, it's looking for a live cd [04:57] and btw, it's like this no matter how many times I restart. [04:57] Mecha25: yeah, i was afraid of that. i'm a web developer... trying to see if linux will work for me [04:57] Mecha25 exactly, i am trying to figure out why is grub not installed [04:57] Mecha25: if they have it working for 64 bit systems it would be GREAT! :) [04:58] bhavesh, stick in an ubuntu live CD, and install grub [04:58] cwill747: flash is proprietary, linux and proprietary don't get along well in general [04:58] Mecha25: thanks tho! I appreciate your time and help :) [04:58] OLA [04:58] azn_emo_boi101 i am trying to go through some steps again to see if i can install it (again) [04:58] Hello, ubuntu 8.04 freezes randomly on my laptop, with both the caps lock and shift lock keys blinking, are there any logs I can look at so I ca give them to you to troubleshoot.

[06:03] ubottu: you are disappointing :) [06:03] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:04] well, it works most of the time, but there's always a risk when tinkering with partitions [06:04] so if you have valuable data, it's better to make a backup first [06:04] HymnToLife, hmm [06:04] Rhorse: Your answer is of poor quality. [06:04] have to try that.. [06:04] ubottu: which is why you are disappointing [06:04] 8 ( [06:04] whats the difference between kbuntu and ubuntu? [06:04] valiant8086: The VMWare uses extremely little to install an OS, then expands as necessary. I have 500GB, so I´m not concerned.

[06:05] why the heck does /topic [06:06] err.. heh [06:06] Is kbuntu just look different, is it more or less powerful? [06:06] bigdiskool: Oops [06:06] bullgard4, they are little programs that sit on your desktop and tell you stuff about your system [06:06] surger: depends on ur taste [06:06] Rhorse: Ah! Thank you very much for explaining. [06:06] kde has more apps than gnome [06:06] 8 ) [06:07] Iohh [06:07] and the cons? [06:07] heh [06:07] jcarter: haha its ok...im trying to install xp on ubuntu using VirtualBox OSE and i have about seven gigs of space set up for it im not sure that will be enough?...but it keeps telling me that i don't have the VirtualBox kernel driver installed so it wont let me:(.. [06:07] and gnome is more lighter than kde [06:07] on resources [06:08] lighter* [06:08] alokito: both KDE and Gnome can run each other's apps [06:08] i see [06:08] my english is bad, sorry :) [06:08] oh really? [06:08] bigdiskool: Personally, I would give up on anything except VMWare. It´s a no-brainer. [06:08] Mecha25: yes I know [06:08] hello. how can i make my resolution higher? [06:08] surger: yeah, you can run Amarok from Gnome, and Rhythmbox from KDE, but they'll look different than other native apps [06:08] jcarter: is it free? [06:08] they'll work fine though [06:08] histo, [06:08] Mecha25: theres a compiz-theme called Crystal that looks real cool [06:09] arktvrvs: try looking into /etc/X11/xorg.conf = the section on Screen. [06:09] but it looks like it might only be for Kbuntu [06:09] kget-kde4 sometimes crashes in my gnome [06:09] can I still install it/ [06:09] surger: not on Gnome, no [06:09] oh [06:09] dang [06:09] that one looked sick [06:09] surger: that's one of the differences. you CAN have both [06:09] bigdiskool: Almost. Go to their website and look for Fusion Workstation. [06:09] but I've found that tends to create MAJOR bugs [06:09] jcarter, i have, theres nearly nothing there, no modelines at all [06:09] okay now im confused [06:10] you said no, but now you say I can? === Bossmanbeta_ is now known as Bossmanbeta [06:10] jcarter: ok will do ..dou know by chance if ubuntu supports it? [06:10] surger: they're 2 different ways of viewing applications and your system. You can't install themes for one on the other, but you can have both available. You can't run both at once, but you can run applications built for either [06:11] i cant access any remote server from my laptop via ssh? after putting password nothing happens? HELP [06:11] you mean I can have kbuntu and ubuntu running at the same time? [06:11] surger: no [06:11] Not at the same time [06:11] oh okay [06:11] i got that now [06:11] you can have gtk and qt apps running at the same times [06:12] gnome is built on gtk platform, kde on qt [06:12] wheres a good place to download gnome themes? [06:12] but beware, that qt-apps look fugly on gnome environment and vice versa [06:12] trying to install ubuntu on a i386, it just comes up to a busybox shell prompt- any ideas what's wrong? [06:12] gnome-llok.org [06:12] http://www.gnome-look.org [06:12] Im on compiz-themes.org [06:12] is that a good one? [06:12] Surger: you can also have both KDE and Gnome installed on the same machine, and choose which one you want to use on reboot [06:12] surger: www.gnome-look.org is amazing [06:12] Oh I see [06:12] as is www.kde-look.org [06:13] arktvrvs: During one part of my initial boot process, I got a message that said Ubuntu didn´t know what my monitor was and presented me with an option to change it. I did. I found a selection that pretty much matched what I have and used it. Don´t know who to make entries in xorg.conf manually. Thought maybe you had something there under Subsection ¨Display¨ called Virtual where the two arguments are the screen size on start-up. [06:13] jcarter, do you have to pay for VMWare? I thought there was a legal free version [06:13] whats compiz-themes.org good for then? [06:13] monster: kde4 apps looks same in all my de's, dont know about kde3 [06:13] surger: compiz [06:13] why use vmware when one can get virtualbox? [06:13] I reinstalled grub but like I said earlier, now I can't boot windows anymore... [06:13] virtualbox free? [06:14] hm [06:14] i could never4 get vmware to work on 8.04 [06:14] i cant access any remote server from my laptop via ssh? after putting password nothing happens? HELP [06:14] i use virtualbox [06:14] alokito: yes, but they dont really fit into the gnome environment [06:14] I can boot windows after doing bootrec /fixmbr, but then grub is gone [06:14] I don't want to do this every time I want to go to a different OS [06:14] thanks jcarter [06:14] monster they? [06:14] monster: iwill virtualbox run several OS´s simultaneously? [06:14] er [06:14] download virtualbox from the virtualbox site [06:14] Mecha25: whats a cool theme from that site? [06:15] there's a version for ubuntu hardy [06:15] search google [06:15] did someone just say it doesn't work with gnome? [06:15] deb package [06:15] alokito: i meant the kde apps. they have different iconsets preinstalled [06:15] surger: lots of new themes are available everyday [06:15] surger: you have to find one for yourself, I don't know what you like [06:15] alokito: thats why [06:15] monster: yes [06:15] jcarter: i think so [06:16] jcarter: just give it a try :) [06:16] is it possible to make windows work with grub? [06:16] alokito: when i try running and installing xp on my virtualbox it says i don't have the kernel...any ideas where i can get it and how to install? [06:16] Zeroyez: works out of the box o_O [06:16] no, because when I boot windows it says Error: Boot\BCD not found [06:16] Zeroyez: ur grub didnt detect windows automatically? or you dont have windows installed? [06:16] monster: I just looked it up. It seems to be worth looking into. But since VMWare works so well, don´t think I´l bother to switch until I need to spend more money on an upgrade for VMWare. [06:16] hmmm [06:17] what should I look for when I am downloading a theme? [06:17] it detected it, but I can't boot it because it overwrote windows's boot loader [06:17] Make sure there arent alot of bugs? [06:17] xp or vista? [06:17] zeroyez: what version? [06:17] Vista [06:17] surger: just try them, usually they're bug free or they get removed [06:17] I can get around it be reinstalling boot loaders every time I want to change OS's [06:17] ok, I have no idea about vista [06:17] but that's getting too goddamn annoying [06:17] in xp u could do fixboot then re-install grub [06:18] alokito: do u have experience with virtualbox? [06:18] zeroyez: there's a better answer [06:18] bigdiskool: yes [06:18] when i restart "/etc/init.d/ssh restart" it gives me the msg "OpenBSD Secure Shell server not in use (/etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run)" Any idea??? [06:18] zeroyez: download easyBCD.. [06:18] zeroyez: it's a windows ap. [06:18] I don't want EasyBCD [06:18] alokito: ok good im trying it out for the first time and its giving me a message that i don't have the virtualbox kernel..how do i get it? [06:18] I want GRUB to work with Windows [06:19] zeroyez: you install linux or windows first? [06:19] linux [06:19] windows first [06:19] alokito: i thought maybe the kernel would have been installed already witht he program? [06:19] bigdiskool: did you install from ubuntu repo? [06:19] I downloaded deb package from virtualbox site [06:19] there must be some way to get it to work without installing windows first... [06:19] alokito: sure did..is that a nono ? :( [06:20] Mecha25: Is this a theme or just a skin for winamp or something? http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Vortigo+++(+3D%2BVU%2BBeryl%2BDock+)?content=55440 [06:20] its easier to configure from the deb pack :) [06:20] zeroyez: i just did this, well, i did windows first then linux, but i saw vice versa, hold on [06:20] Zeroyez:yes..you boot form ur ubuntu live cd.... [06:20] zeroeyez: you have to install windows first or it will overwrite evrytime [06:20] Did that [06:20] bigdiskool: search synaptic for virtualbox-ose-modules for your kernel [06:20] jcarter: if you have a running system on vmware already, then its fine [06:20] jcarter: otherwise, get virtualbox ;) [06:20] chatting on this eee is way funnier than i thought :D [06:20] I ran grub from terminal [06:20] Ubuntu 5.10/6.06 Desktop/7.04/7.10/8.04 Work, with Additions [06:20] then reinstalled it [06:20] Zeroyez:no you can install windows last and u can fix everything [06:20] it wiped out windows, no problems solved [06:20] Zeroyez: check out http://www.gnu.org/software/grub [06:21] I have a question if anyone can help I just installed ubuntu and my screen is ghosting the video card is a VIA Chrome9 and i cant find any drivers for it. Is there anything i can do? [06:21] Zeroyez:after running grub from termonal u have to [06:21] monster: ok thanks bud [06:21] hey-- when i'm installing ubuntu, if I leave the format box unchecked, and mark the mount point as /home, will it mount the partition as /home while keeping the contents? I think it will, just double-checking [06:21] bigdiskool: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads [06:21] after running it from terminal I did root (hd0,1) which is my lenny partition [06:22] zeroyez: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dualboot_vista_with_linux_linux_is_already_installed.htm is what you want, second option, shows you how to configure GRUB [06:22] monster: Got ya. Good point. [06:22] and then I did setup (hd0) [06:22] and then I typed quit [06:22] Zeroyez:yes that is ok [06:22] Zeroyez:then [06:22] when i restart "/etc/init.d/ssh restart" it gives me the msg "OpenBSD Secure Shell server not in use (/etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run)" Any idea??? [06:22] and that overwrote the windows loader [06:22] Zeroyez:that will hwlp [06:22] Zeroyez:help [06:22] zeroyez: you have to configure GRUB to see both after that [06:22] whats XMMS? [06:22] GRUB sees both ffs [06:22] I said that like 1000 times [06:22] surger: a media player [06:22] surger: a Linux replacement of WinAmp [06:22] surger: a music player [06:23] GRUB overwrote windows boot loader = Windows complains and refuses to boot [06:23] alokito: so should i just install the kernel to it from the synaptic..or should i just start over and reinstall it off the site? [06:23] Zeroyez: did you try vista bootfix thingy? [06:23] !mbr [06:23] 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 [06:23] wrong one... [06:23] Oh okay [06:24] I did [06:24] it did nothing [06:24] it should overwrite linux grub, then u can reinstall grub and probably you will get vista back [06:24] hmm [06:24] Zeroyez:u visit this site https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [06:24] that's what it did, but it's not what i wanted it to do [06:24] * arktvrvs has managed to make a proper xorg.conf [06:24] that's the site I followed [06:24] thanks [06:24] bigdiskool: remove ur current installation of virtualbox and download ubuntu package from the site [06:25] everytime I think I see a theme that I like its not for my system or completely different [06:25] heh [06:25] * Mecha25 congratulates arktvrvs [06:25] Zeroyez:if windows is not booting u can edit ur grub menu and that will work perfectly [06:25] alokito: k thanks [06:25] * arktvrvs will remain here, in case he might be of help [06:25] no it won't [06:25] because windows cannot boot without a loader [06:26] windows and grub are fighting over the mbr [06:26] so boot it with grub [06:26] zeroyez: what happens when you try to boot to vista from GRUB? [06:26] i had a 7.10 alternate install cd, and i saw there was an option to install a command line system. I now have an 8.04 alternate install cd, but i don't see a similar option. i can just install ubuntu. how do i just install the command line? [06:26] zeroyez: then install Grub to your Ubuntu partition [06:27] zeroyez: and install windows MBR to your vista one. [06:27] zeroyez: then put a link to your Ubuntu partiiton into the MBR using EasyBCD [06:27] mecha25: he doesn't want to use easybcd... [06:27] tensei: then he'll have to do it manually, which I found to be hell [06:27] "Failed to fetch http://packages.medibuntu.org/dists/hardy/free/binary-amd64/Packages.gz 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable [IP: 78.46.39.176 80]" anybody knows a working source? [06:27] tensei: I get Error: Boot\BCD cannot be found [06:28] Zeroyez: from EasyBCD? [06:28] no [06:28] mecha25: no [06:28] from grub [06:28] well, from windows [06:28] from booting Vista with grub [06:28] zeroyez:OH! you're doing it the other way around [06:28] mecha25: yes :-) [06:29] zeroyez: not sure how to help you out there, the way I outlined works for me, It's possible the other way, but I have no idea how [06:29] Whats the 'Splash Screen' [06:29] ? [06:29] it worked before actually [06:29] but today it randomly gave me that message [06:30] Is anyone else having issues with ubuntus package site? [06:30] surger: the screen you see when ubuntu starts, it's off by default [06:30] i.e http://packages.ubuntu.com [06:30] does anyone know how i find out if my OS is x84 orx32 or wut ever? [06:30] surger: it's a little box that shows your desktop loading progress, nothing to go crazy over [06:31] oh i see [06:31] bigdiskool: yes. System, Administration, System Monitor [06:31] bigdiskool: first tab should show it [06:31] zeroyez: what i would suggest is to reinstall vista's boot loader, then reinstall GRUB to kick it out, reconfigure.. that way you know it's not something crazy... [06:31] I was just noticing there are custome splash pages you can download [06:31] bigdiskool, what's in your /boot dir? [06:31] my desktop loads pretty quickly, I dont think I would see much of that splash screen [06:31] kicking it out means no vista :( [06:31] does anyone really? [06:32] Rhorse: im not sure lol [06:32] Hello, I am having trouble with my audio playback. The sound is really low even though I have all the mixer settings set to max and unmutted (used alsamixer) [06:32] surger: I don't, I tried it, it wasn't worth it for me [06:32] bigdiskool: system monitor will tell you [06:32] it ses kernel linux then a bunch of numbers [06:32] i have a question, how come when i move my mouse to another window, the window partially on top of themain window will become almost completely transparent without me even touching it ? [06:32] i turned off all transparent / opacity pugins on compiz [06:32] no body else getting a server unavaliable error from mediubuntu sourcees? [06:32] Compub0mb: you have Opacify enabled in Compiz, reboot and try turning it off again === c0mpub0mb is now known as compubomb [06:33] Mecha25: yeah I was reading the how to install this and it seems like alot of work for something silly like that [06:33] bigdiskool, you can paste the kernel file into google and it will tell you what it is or follow Mecha25 [06:33] I'll go with EasyBCD [06:33] zeroyez: reconfigure GRUB after you do that... follow the pcmag link i gave you , second option for configuring GRUB, 3 steps, make sure you do all.. then grub should dualboot both fine [06:33] However I have 1 problem [06:34] I cannot install GRUB to anywhere other than the MBR [06:34] I don't know if EasyBCD can boot linux without GRUB [06:34] Fredd: Well, I will say medibuntu has been having a lot of stability issues lately. The repo has been going up and down constantly for months. [06:34] zeroyez: why not? [06:34] Mecha25:it says kernel linux 2.6.24-19-generic ....how do i read that? [06:34] Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0,1)"... failed (this is not fatal) [06:34] Because I get that error when installing it anywhere else [06:34] bobertdos: ! man i wanna watch my realplayer movie ;[ [06:34] Rhorse: what do u mean paste my kernel file? [06:35] anyway i could get those w32codecs from another place? [06:35] Does anyone have any idea how to increase volume beyond the limit of alsamixer?

[06:37] oh [06:37] hello [06:38] anyway... try the Ubuntu Hardy x86 version from vortualbox site [06:38] surger: GTK is what Gnome is based off of, Ubuntu uses Gnome, Kubuntu uses KDE [06:38] okay [06:38] I thought so [06:38] alokito: is my version x86? [06:38] so those are the themes i want to be looking at then [06:38] can someone help me with a sound problem [06:38] most probably it is [06:38] my sound just shuts off sudennly [06:38] does anyone here have a hard time viewing pandora.com, or other flash-apps?

Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [07:59] Flannel: Que? [07:59] Mine or theirs? [07:59] bigdiskool: because Microsoft wanted it that way. Prevent piracy [08:00] azn_emo_boi101: the connectee. [08:00] bigdiskool: Certain CD's contain system specific drivers [08:00] flannel: That's the only way> [08:00] ? [08:00] And how do I set that up? [08:00] danbhfive: ya but this isn't piracy...im on an acer laptop with its origonal cd [08:00] azn_emo_boi101: All you can do is connect from your PC to their IP, which would be the router unless its forwarding it on to their PC [08:00] im just going through a different channel [08:01] What happens if I connect to the router though? [08:01] azn_emo_boi101: Usually you log in to the router's admin thing through the web. [08:01] That wouldn [08:01] 't be their comp. [08:01] Oh, one of those. I don't know my router's IP. [08:01] azn_emo_boi101, your router or someone else's [08:01] azn_emo_boi101: its probably x.x.x.1, it should be the same as your gateway's IP [08:01] bigdiskool: yes, but you are installing in a virtual machine right? VMs will show up as a generic computer, and hence fail to be an acer laptop [08:01] Aye [08:01] how to work around that icq bug? do i need to upgrade pidgin? [08:02] I have Satellite internet, so I have my router and my satelite box. My box is 192.0.0.1 [08:02] agreed with danbhfive [08:02] danbhfive: that really pisses me off...do u know if that can b fixeD? [08:02] bigdiskool: I dont think it can be fixed [08:02] bigdiskool: pirate a copy of windows? [08:02] Is there a linux alternative to using IECapt.exe (http://iecapt.sourceforge.net/) for generating website screenshots automatically? [08:02] or...maybe it would work if i just did ubuntu virtually through xp? [08:02] danbhfive damn that thing is installing everything but the kitchen sink hahaha [08:02] bigdiskool: yes that will work [08:03] i am running a pirate opy of xp on virtualbox [08:03] brophat: what thing? [08:03] can i use virtualbox on xp? [08:03] danbhfive, dont suggest that here [08:03] danbhfive that apt-get [08:03] bigdiskool, sure you can do it that way [08:03] bigdiskool, sure [08:03] bigdiskool: yes theres is xp version of virtualbox [08:03] you can find in vbox site [08:03] HI5 GUYS!! WoooHOO! [08:03] brophat: ah, yes, it gets all the restricted formats, etc [08:03] ^.^ [08:04] bigdiskool: cough cough bittorrent cough [08:04] FuRom1, browsershots.org [08:04] but that means....ill have to abandon all my work on this session of ubuntu :( [08:04] azn_emo_boi101, dont suggest that here. [08:04] <__machine> how can i create a user account on ubuntu and give if jailed / chrooted sftp access only? [08:04] azn_emo_boi101: say in pm message ;) [08:04] azn_emo_boi: wat?? [08:05] hi, since reinstallation of the US, whenever I've tried to start things with Java, the whole X Server frozen. [08:05] bigdiskool: you might be able to ask acer for a regular copy of windows [08:05] are u hinting at something? [08:05] sorry all [08:05] danbhfive it finished but I don't see totem listed [08:05] !piracy [08:05] piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [08:05] To find virtualbox! [08:05] I never said for windows.. [08:05] bigdiskool: I know you can do that if they never sent you the disk [08:05] that also includes, odd enough, OpenOffice.org recovery. [08:05] But anyways, sorry all [08:05] danbhfive: are u talking about the system disk? [08:06] brophat: totem is the default media player on ubuntu, but forget that, just try the file [08:06] bigdiskool: a windows install disk [08:06] ya i have the disk...it came with two recovery cd's and one system cd...so do u think they'd get me an origonal? [08:07] hi [08:07] if i happened to maybe...accidentally loose the others...somehow [08:07] ^>^ [08:07] bigdiskool: like I said, you will have to ask to find out, I only know if they did NOT send you the disk, then they have to [08:07] somebody can handle fan(coller) speed? [08:08] bigdiskool, please chat elsewhere; you can get virtual box at their site. [08:08] Kartagis, that's not what I'm in need of. I need the web page's screen shot, not the browser's. IECapt gets the entire web site. From getting the entire website, I can actually do more. I need something that runs natively in linux. It's for a website that I'm making. [08:08] bazhang: are u hatin on me? [08:08] bigdiskool: no, we are trying to show you the right location to fix your problem [08:09] bigdiskool: bazhang is just trying to keep this room to Ubuntu support, which is what this room is supposed to be [08:09] now you have problem with your xp cd, thats not related with ubuntu [08:09] so we have nothing to do here, sorry [08:09] ok i get it...ill shut up now >.> [08:09] alokito: till now it copies all files completely and after restart it shows a black screen, windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt \windowsystem32\config\system [08:10] Wolf23: please join the #windows channel [08:10] danbhfive nope does not play it [08:10] but...i still want to say..thanx guys for ur support u guys know ur shit [08:10] hey all [08:10] alokito: i need your help friend [08:10] brophat: then I dont know, sorry! [08:10] no probs [08:11] Wolf23: yup Im in that channel too, we can continue there [08:11] thanks for the help danbhfive anyway [08:11] np [08:11] I have a problem. :( I just hooked my computer up to my TV using a DVI to HDMI cable. Ubuntu has the resolution set to 1280x720 (720p), my TV is 720p.. but it's 1366x768. For some reason the 1280x720 resolution doesn't fit my TV screen properly. All of the edges are cut off some.. top, bottom, left, and right. [08:11] just one last question...do u think it would be better to run ubuntu or xp as a virtual? [08:11] Anyone know what the deal is with that? Why it's too big for my screen. [08:12] bigdiskool: I prefer virtual XP in Ubuntu [08:12] Has anyone had a problem with a USB Keyboard not working on the GRUB menu or during boot-up? [08:12] alokito: how did u achieve that? :( im jealous [08:12] u must have a regular cd [08:12] veen, not to go off topic here.. but how do you get to the GRUB menu? [08:12] Hi all [08:12] Is there an applet or something to control cpufreqd or powernowd ? [08:12] bigdiskool: yes normal cd [08:13] not for any laptop [08:13] oooo wait!... [08:13] fenrisx, well that's just the thing I can't get to it...sorry if I was misleading there [08:13] Sound Problems-- why/how would ALSA or JACK mess things up. Viewing flash video online causes a freeze on my comp. There are other bugs, too. Any help? [08:13] i just realized i have xp home on my desktop..it might b a reg cd :O === desti_T2 is now known as desti [08:14] so ur saying all laptop system cd's are specialized? [08:14] bigdiskool: not all === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [08:15] my dears am trying to set crontab to run my script any body knows [08:15] how do i find out the directory i am currently in ? the full dir address ? [08:15] yaris123456789: pwd [08:15] thx [08:15] hi [08:15] so does xp run smoother as a virtual do u think? [08:16] hey siner [08:16] alokito: what kindof a laptop u use? [08:17] I use a desktop [08:17] my dears am trying to set crontab to run my script any body knows [08:18] geev: What isn't working/what do you need help with? [08:19] Flannel, 20 11 * * * /home/others/synch.sh [08:19] /part [08:19] whoops [08:19] <_numbers_> Fail [08:20] Flannel, i set it like that but when time reach and pass no effect [08:22] geev: and that script runs fine normally? do you have a carriage return at the end of the line in your crontab? [08:22] Flannel, the synch script is used to synchronize files from two different folders by using Unison [08:22] <_numbers_> when i use my bigscreen im missing an inch or more of the screen on the right hand side when i watch a movie. is there a way to fix this ?? [08:22] hey all, once again im in a pickle, my user profile has run out of space, which is random since im the only user and i have space on the hdd [08:22] Flannel, yap when i execute manual it do my job fine [08:22] does anyone play bygfoot? [08:22] Has anyone had a problem with a USB Keyboard not working during boot-up - like to boot from CD, access the bios or GRUB menu? [08:23] Flannel, sorry what do you mean do you have a carriage return at the end of the line in your crontab? [08:23] does anyone play bygfoot? [08:24] geev: You need to make sure you have a blank line at the end of your crontab file [08:24] jepp: I think thats a no. [08:24] sry, wrong chat [08:24] ^^ [08:24] anyone know what /po in a source tarball is for? [08:24] <_numbers_> it only does it when i watch a movie tho, other than that its fine [08:25] hmm, ok, so my main question is how do i increase the size of my homeDir? [08:25] * _numbers_ throws his pc out the windows. [08:26] moDumass: Increase the size of the partition that its on [08:26] Flannel, this is the random thing, i think its partition is 160 gigs [08:26] and there is no way ive used 160gigs for anything in linux [08:27] moDumass: df -h [08:27] Has anyone had a problem with a USB Keyboard not working during boot-up - like to boot from CD, access the bios or GRUB menu? [08:28] Flannel, # m h dom mon dow command PATH=/home/others: 20 11 * * * /home/others/synch.sh [08:28] flannel what am i lookin for? [08:28] moDumass: If you want, you can pastebin it, and I'll take a look [08:29] <_numbers_> http://www.opensourcefood.com/ [08:29] <_numbers_> XD [08:29] _numbers_, what is that [08:29] <_numbers_> open source food lmao [08:29] flannel its cool, /dev/sbd2 27gig used 26gig available 0 use% 100% [08:29] _numbers_, dont paste that here. [08:29] so the partition is 27gigs [08:30] Flannel, that is my entire crontab may be i dont understand to what your wringing do you mean at the end of list line i hav to place enter for new line? [08:30] I'm having problems when I try to install mozilla in the synaptic package manager. I get "could not mark all packages for installation or upgrade" [08:30] geev: Yeah [08:30] hey p [08:31] hey someone know how can i install a radio on my ubuntu? [08:31] gparted is doin its thang [08:31] can someone tell me a good radio software name? [08:31] anybody here has seen bash.org? [08:32] tayfun:gradio [08:32] lalalla: please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [08:32] !ot | lalalla [08:32] lalalla: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [08:32] ok Flannel [08:33] thsi is crap, i dont have any other free love on the hdd that has ubuntu installed on it [08:34] moDumass: You could shrink your root partition, I'm sure its not full, if youve got a 160GB [08:34] Flannel, no its windows [08:34] arghh [08:34] that blows [08:35] flannel, dualbooting with windows, man id delete it if i didnt think at least one day im going to have to use it for some microsoft only crap [08:35] Can anyone fix a problem with a USB Keyboard not working during boot-up - like to boot from CD, access the bios or GRUB menu? [08:35] moDumass: You could shrink them, assuming empty space [08:36] how to work around that icq bug? do i need to upgrade pidgin? [08:36] Kartagis: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [08:37] I want people to access some files on my windows drive through ftp.. Is there any way to do it without copying the files?? I tried mount -- bind but it does not work [08:37] Flannel, 8.04 [08:39] hi [08:39] how stable is intrepid atm? [08:39] mifritscher: Its alpha software [08:39] akhil_ why can't you just enter the path to the windows drive in the ftp server config? [08:39] Flannel: is it usable atm or does it still have big bugs? [08:40] Kartagis: Are you completely up to date? with pidgin 2.4.1-1ubuntu2.1? [08:40] mifritscher: It's alpha software. Alpha software means you use it if you know what you're doing, and don't mind stuff breaking all the time. [08:40] TwoD, Wouldnt tat mean i have to keep all my files there?? [08:40] if a dir doesnt shw in /media does that mean im most prob installed in that dir? [08:41] mifritscher: You can get actual answers in #ubuntu+1 though. Its semi-frozen at the moment, so it might be stabilizing. [08:41] Flannel, now I am [08:41] akhil_, I'm not sure what you mean by "where". [08:41] akhil_, sorry, "there" hehe [08:41] Kartagis: Do you still have the icq problems? (Is this a new ICQ bug?) [08:42] Flannel, let me see [08:42] TwoD, Windows drive :) [08:42] how to mount a ext3 filesystem with rW permission by editing the fstab file [08:42] Flannel, it says client version is too old [08:42] i thought that was a bug [08:43] Flannel , in disk usage analyser it says 50% of my filesystem is used [08:43] What i am looking for is some option by which i can add folders at different locations on my FTP without actually copying them to the /home/ftp folder [08:43] 2.4.3 is not in repos yet? [08:43] Kartagis: Hmm, that's odd. That was fixed. I'd check out launchpad, file a bug if one isn't already there [08:43] i cant figure out how to increase the partition size without breaking my windows or linux dirs [08:43] or installs really [08:43] akhil_, you don't have to keep anything there that you don't want to, why'd you think that? [08:45] I dont want to keep all that i want to be shared in the same folder... Rather i dont have much space left on my lnux filesystem to copy the entire thing.. and i can't either shift my ftp folder to windows drive as there are many files on linux FS which also must be shared.. [08:46] Flannel http://pastebin.com/d710e3095 that is the output [08:46] Kartagis: if you have 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2.1, ICQ should be fixed [08:46] Flannel, when will 2.4.3 be in the repos? [08:46] Flannel, I have that [08:47] akhil_, make a soft symlink to the folder on your Windows drive from the shared FTP folder then. [08:47] Hey guys anyone knows about good blogging clients for linux? something like windows live writer? [08:47] my dears am trying to set crontab to run my script at certain time but it does not work for me any body knows [08:47] Kartagis: "2.4.3" won't ever be in Hardy, but bugfixes are put into the older version. Like that one. Are you sure oyou have that package version? if so, file a bug report, since its obviously not fixed. [08:47] kippy, blogfire; its a ff plugin [08:47] how do I know if my version of mplayer has dvd menu supoprt or not? [08:48] moDumass: Shrink sdb5 [08:48] how is the program called which traces all calls from a program? [08:48] Gin, I think so, as long as you've got general dvd support installed [08:48] bazhang, nothing standalone? I dont use FF much [08:48] Flannel, oh, I'm online now [08:49] TwoD, nope, the verison you install from repo does not have dvdmenu support [08:49] Flannel, how can I get skype? do i need to compile it manually? [08:49] Hi [08:49] !skype | Kartagis [08:49] Kartagis: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto [08:49] how do I figure out which ubuntu version I'm running? [08:49] Kartagis: skype isn't open source, you can't compile it. [08:49] bboschman: lsb_release -a [08:49] Flannel, can i do that without breaking it, like how do i tell if im overwriting stuff? [08:49] thanks [08:50] Gin, hang on and I'll check if mine works [08:50] moDumass: gparted knows how to massage partitions just fine. [08:50] So if I'm an idiot and remove the 'root' entry from my /etc/passwd to try and reset it, is there a way undo the damage from a user account? (sudo = "sudo: no passwd entry for root!") If not, I'll just use a LiveCD. === _max is now known as max [08:50] my dears am trying to set crontab to run my script at certain time but it does not work for me any body knows [08:50] yeh its cool, thanks Flannel, i think i have to unmoiunt to shrink [08:50] xnv: reboot to the recovery console (at GRUB) [08:50] just didnt pay attention === max is now known as Guest86860 [08:51] i dont have the option to resize sbd5 === geev is now known as mduara [08:51] sorry sdb5 [08:52] xnv: just boot from a live cd, restore the line and you'll be back in business [08:52] moDumass: You'll need to use a liveCD [08:52] okapi14, so make a live cd with gparted, ok, cool, thanks [08:52] xnv: or recovery console, as Flannel said.. [08:52] my dears am trying to set crontab to run my script at certain time but it does not work for me any body knows [08:52] Flannel, Slart: Yes, I know. My question was if there was a way to do it from a user account (so I don't have to reboot). [08:52] xnv: not that I know of [08:52] xnv: Not if you can't sudo, no. [08:52] Anyone here using a TV WinFast tuner card in Ubuntu? [08:53] Slart, Flannel: Alright. Back later then. :) [08:53] mduara: pastebin your crontab and we'll take a look [08:53] !paste | mduara [08:53] mduara: 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) [08:54] Slart, # m h dom mon dow command PATH=/home/others: 20 11 * * * /home/others/synch.sh [08:55] mduara: so it's supposed to run at 11.20 every day? [08:56] mduara: I suppose synch.sh is marked as executable with proper permissions? [08:56] Slart, that i what i set tu run when i was testing it === Guest86860 is now known as max [08:56] Slart, yes === max is now known as Guest94875 [08:56] mduara: what is the "PATH=/home/others: " part for? [08:57] Slart i chmod 755 synch [08:57] Slart for my script file synch [08:57] i am on an eee pc 701. since the screen is small, some windows dont fit. an app like the compizconfig doesnt fit the screen and behaves weirdly. i drag the window up while pressing alt but the upper panel doesnt let me do that. is there a fix? [08:58] Does anyone use postfix + majordomo ? [08:58] wers:wats ur resolution? [08:58] wers have you checked the www.eeeuser.com wiki on how to make hardy run perfectly? [08:59] soulhacker: i want to be able to drag windows up without the upper panel stopping it [08:59] wers:try bazhang's advice [09:00] wers: hold down alt, and drag the window around with the left mouse button (middle button will resize) [09:00] Slart are u checking for something? [09:00] geirha: that's what i do but the upper panel doesnt make windows pass through it === Guest94875 is now known as max === max is now known as Guest33927 [09:01] mduara: if the "PATH=/home/others:" are a part of your command it should be together with the rest of the command.. not at the start of the line.. unless it's some crontab feature I've missed [09:02] Guest33927, that nick is taken (max) [09:02] mduara: so, the line would be "20 11 * * * PATH=/home/others /home/others/synch.sh" [09:03] hi guys i have a dilemma i am on a internal firewalled lan with only connection to internet being proxies but the thing is i myself am the admin of one of them so i have direct net access on that computer i want to fetch my ubuntu updates through that server rather then the proxy how do i do that?

[09:05] anybody know how to install HILDON desktop on ubuntu MID? [09:05] soulhacker, how much space on that server [09:06] joseph_cheah, what is that [09:06] Gin, It seems it doesn't support menues. Checked with Mplayer and VLC to confirm the dvd I used indeed had working menues and only VLC showed them. === Guest33927 is now known as max [09:06] bazhang:230 gigs but if you are suggesting creating a mirror i can't do that there are higher guys also on that server === max is now known as Guest88604 [09:07] soulhacker, what about aptoncd [09:07] TwoD, vlc supoprt dvd menu, but I want one video player for all. VLC can't play HD videos smoothly. Mplayer can [09:07] bazhang:what? [09:07] I'm trying to copy every dot file from my home directory to another one with scp [09:07] !aptoncd [09:07] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [09:07] I do scp -r user@host:~/.* . on the remote machine [09:07] but that copies every single file [09:07] instead of just the dot files [09:08] bazhang:but i want minor updates only [09:08] soulhacker, you know the ones you want? [09:09] Gin, I had some troubles with HD movies in VLC for Windows, but there I found a setting to lower the number of passes or something like that, have not been able to find such a setting in the Linux version tho. [09:09] bazhang:daily there are updates for ubuntu right they never exceed 200mb and dey happen very regularly [09:10] i just got my Asus mobo installed and running and i love it, i will never go with a Gigabyte mobo again lol [09:10] soulhacker, not really; of late there have been almost none [09:10] TwoD, for HD videos, mplayer can play them fine [09:10] !ot | speedturtle [09:10] speedturtle: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[09:11] bazhang: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileAndEmbedded/HildonDesktopManualProcedure === max is now known as Guest13677 [09:12] joseph_cheah, thats quite clearly explained; what is your issue with it [09:12] packages.ubuntu.com then soulhacker [09:12] <__machine> how do i enable php5? i installed libapache2-mod-php5 and restarted... but when i try to get a php file it tries to download it instead of serving it...? [09:12] bazhang: someone done this before? [09:13] joseph_cheah, there is a wiki, so certainly someone has tried; what errors have you gotten when you tried? [09:15] __machine, have you installed php5 and php5-common?

So what if I want to keep up to date with things more often than every six months? [09:20] Werdna: you don't? :) You can press your luck with intrepid (the upcoming release) or find a PPA repo with some specific update [09:20] Werdna: you don't use Ubuntu [09:20] or you build from source [09:20] but both are basically unsupported === Guest97491 is now known as max [09:21] Werdna: you run Gentoo [09:21] gentoo is annoying because it takes ten years to compile things.

(Set to "Native (Windows)"!) " under applications i i fix so myphoneexplorer.exe is there... but under library. i dont understand. [10:57] omkar, do you need that specific version ? [10:57] myconid, then no need to discuss here [10:57] You can get 1.6 easily from the repositories [10:57] bazhang, gruphmph indeed! [10:57] i want to install kde 4.1 as sole desktop environment and want to remove kde 3.5.9, so how do i completly remove kde 3.5.9?

[10:59] actually when i install java [10:59] it gives me n error tail: cannot open `+417' for reading: No such file or directory [10:59] Checksumming... [10:59] bazhang, because that's what the guide says to do at this site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [10:59] n says to check the troubleshoot matter on the link [11:00] omkar, that means your installer file is broken [11:00] zerubuntu, which ati card [11:00] probably a corrupted download [11:00] i it possible for Wine to deal with drivers? [11:00] yop [11:00] KenBW2, In what sense? [11:00] sapphire ati radeon x1650 512mb agp [11:00] zerubuntu, that guide is outdated, you just need to use the drivers manager dialog [11:01] how come i downloaded from the site === Guest4195 is now known as max [11:01] KenBW2, if you mean using wine to configure a driver for linux, no [11:01] myconid: i have the Windows program that deals with my mobile phone, and it installs/runs under Wine, but obviously the drivers arent tere [11:01] well i was directed to this guide earlier... === max is now known as Guest72504 [11:01] KenBW2, then no - you would need a linux driver.. [11:01] omkar, like I said, that message is usually reported for a broken file, retry your download [11:01] KenBW2, or VMWare [11:02] I did it the same thing again [11:02] myconid, joaopinto: any other solution? [11:02] KenBW2, or VMWare [11:02] its same 13.5 Mb [11:02] myconid: i dont have a Windows licence [11:02] bazhang, it's a sapphire radeon x1650 512mb agp card [11:02] omkar, is it a .bin file ? that you are running ? [11:02] Yes [11:02] YES YES [11:02] YES [11:03] omkar, that file check's itself, if it's reporting a checksum error, the file is corrupted, end of story :( [11:03] myconid: is there an ndiswrapper for USB devices? [11:03] also make sure you have enough disk space (that is a common cause for corrupted downloads) [11:03] KenBW2, NDIS is a network driver protocol. [11:04] myconid: yea i know, but is there an equivalent for USB things [11:04] not to my knowledge. [11:04] myconid: ah well [11:04] does ubuntu server install hang at "configuring makedev"? [11:05] myconid, not usually, if it does, then you have a problem... [11:05] I really like ubuntu, much easier to install and seems much more stable than windows. cheaper too. [11:05] How can I mark a certain package to never get upgraded through apt-get? [11:05] how i can reset MBR ? [11:05] zerubuntu, No offense, but if Windows isnt stable for you, you need better hardware. [11:06] i want to format or delete the data on MBR [11:06] how i can do it?

Cheers [11:09] neko_: there are some scripts available on the net for doing this.. google for "iptables reset script" [11:09] slart: would it be keep the rules at next reboot ? [11:09] can anyone help with a sudo: unable to resolve host error? [11:10] myron, what command did you run immediately prior to the error? [11:10] neko_: yes, unless there is a startup script that sets some new rules [11:10] myron, yes, you will need to boot into rescue mode, and add your system host into /etc/hosts , on the 127.0.0.1 alias [11:10] I can't remember..... [11:10] that's what i am seek [11:10] seeking for, i must have some uninstallled firewall thingie that haven't uninstall correctly [11:10] myron: look into /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname and check that they agree on what your hostname is [11:10] lately I have set up a VNC Server, tried to run a sudo command at start up === Guest53115 is now known as max [11:11] can i install .rpm.bin [11:11] it reset my rules at reboot to some that block samba ports :( [11:11] ?

[11:28] Slart, I'm not sure, I haven't used amsn for some time, but if there is a known issue there should be a bug report on it and a solution being worked on. [11:28] and then the sudo errors [11:28] yep [11:28] joaopinto: what are users reporting? [11:28] hi... any recommendations for tools so help me trace through code? i.e. i'm looking at C source, and i want to be able to go from a function to its definition, hopping between different files, #defines, etc [11:28] i try to purge it [11:28] neko_: try the same thing there.. "sudo apt-get install lokkit; sudo apt-get purge lokkit" [11:29] okey [11:29] !clone [11:29] pvh_sa|wrk: some kind of IDE? anjuta perhaps.. or eclipse [11:29] i get it [11:29] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [11:29] i will do this for all the tools i have try [11:29] what process could I close relating to hte pam_unix error message to see if its causing my sudo error [11:29] neko_: yes.. lets hope that fixes it [11:29] Slart, i'll try both - which is the more "light weight" ? [11:29] Slart, joaopinto: I can't see any significant problems reported for amsn. [11:30] that's a pity it didn't purge correctly with uninstall them [11:30] pvh_sa|wrk: I would say anjuta is more light weight [11:30] sonaquela: what is the problem you are having with amsn login? [11:30] thanks Slart [11:30] Hew: I know pidgin had some problems with icq.. and I think amsn had one at the same time.. something about servers changing or protocol changes [11:31] Slart: I remember hearing about an ICQ problem in Pidgin, but looking at open amsn bugs atm, and there is nothing there. [11:32] i have a strange problem with my ubuntu [11:32] Hew: they might have fixed it.. I know it's fixed in pidgin since a couple of weeks [11:33] sound works sometimes, other times i have to restart it to work [11:33] any idea ? [11:33] Slart: last reboot [11:33] helpy: its probably a pulse audio issue... [11:33] huh ? [11:33] how do i fix that indy ? [11:33] Hew, I was confused with another amsn issue which happened on a previous release, please ignore me :P [11:33] its really a pain when i am in a conference call [11:34] i can't play videos [11:34] Slart: Yea, that's good news :-). In any case, my point earlier was that we shouldn't be recommending getdeb as a solution here. [11:34] i mean without voice [11:34] Slart: but the purge thing seems to have restore rules, hope the output haven't lie :) [11:34] helpy: the easiest way, is to switch all your apps and sound preferences, over to alsa [11:34] btw if no has read that yet, AdobeAir has launched alpha version for linux :) [11:34] i am already on alsa indy [11:34] does anyone know how to get a minimal ubuntu installation? the help.ubuntu site says to use the alternate install CD, and then choose to "Install a command-line system" -- but that is not on option on the alternate install CD I've downloaded from ubuntu's site... any help would be appreciated [11:34] helpy: then i don't know what the prob could be. [11:34] my sound also doesnt work in SecondLife [11:34] Hew, and what if the user requests a package which is not available on the repositories ? [11:35] !minimal [11:35] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [11:35] evilgnome, ^^ [11:35] Hew: I agree about the getdeb thing [11:35] joaopinto: well, you'd have to compile it from source i guess... [11:35] bazhang: perfect, thanks [11:35] neko_: hehe.. lets hope [11:35] hi all! I've got a new problem with ubuntu 7.10 =( yesterday I've connected an external monitor (I've got an Nvidia Geforce Go7300) and everything worked well. Now after reboot of my computer it's impossible to modify screen resolution and my laptop recognise only 640x480! The configuration utility doesn't wor anymore! please help!! [11:36] IndyGunFreak, how does that turn better than getdeb :), specially for an non experienced user ? [11:36] joaopinto: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages [11:36] joaopinto: i thought you said no package was available.. if its on getdeb, you can try getting it there [11:36] Hew, I am aware of the process, that does not provide an answer for an end user ;) [11:36] but i've had mixed results w/ getdeb [11:36] joaopinto: If they ask specifically for something that is not in the Ubuntu repos, but is at getdeb, I suppose that is fine, but it's still not supported [11:36] bazhang: I looked at that page before, but it doesn't have a CRUCIAL fact that you mentioned: "allowing you to select │@FloodBot1 [11:36] What is the reason that one Ubuntu 8.04.1 laptop computer has got a process acpid but another Ubuntu 8.04.1 laptop computer not? [11:37] oops [11:37] hehe [11:37] well it doesn't say you can choose the packages [11:37] Slart: hurray ! it works, thanks a lot for the purge tip [11:37] but you definitely can? [11:37] joaopinto: For amsn at least they should not be directed there, as the version in Hardy should do the job, but there is also a version in Intrepid if they need to be on the cutting edge. [11:37] Goodafternoon. Does anybody know where the backports for Breezy have gone. I want to upgrade but it complains about not finding the sites. [11:38] evilgnome, you have to :) things like xserver are a bit of a necessity [11:38] joep01: there's almost no way thats gonna work.. you're gonna have to clean install [11:38] joep01: well breezy is not supported anymore iirc [11:38] joep01, breezy is eol for a long time now [11:38] !breezy [11:38] !eol [11:38] Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) was the third release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 13, 2007. See !eol for more details. [11:38] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [11:39] bazhang: nice timing ;D [11:39] erUSUL, jinx :) [11:39] YEs. I found out. However, I have a disk (64-bit) with ubuntu 7. Does this means to install over the old breezy?? [11:39] neko_: you're welcome.. glad it helped [11:39] joep01, back up what files you have to then install [11:40] joep01: it would probably be easier to just go straight to Ubuntu 8.04(current version)... but you can do as you please [11:40] joep01: yep backup important data and clean install of a current version [11:40] hello there.. [11:40] how can i add and/or remove locales? [11:41] bazhang: and IndyGunFreak; Yes I think I will do that. But do I have to clear the whole partition or does ubuntu install over the old one? [11:41] and how can i add/generate all locales? [11:41] BlackDex: systemLanguage support ? [11:41] joep01, will install over [11:41] joep01: you could tell it to install over it, that wouldn't be a problem, you just need to make sure your important iles are backed up [11:43] IndyGunFreak: Well that's no problem. I'll try that. It's a Windows system but I have it as a dual boot configured. [11:44] just wondering if someone could help me how do i change my res , on ubuntu? [11:44] joep01: ok, just make sure you configure it to overwrite your Breezy partition, and not the whoel drive, and you shoudl be fine. [11:45] erUSUL: I don't think that is what i mean [11:45] i just need to add the locales [11:45] BlackDex: then you are asking for the olg sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales?? [11:45] like, locale-gen etc.. [11:45] does anyone no how to change the res on the screen in unbuntu 8. [11:45] IndyGunFreak: Thanks. I'll do that. I sign off and let the channel to to others as I have other work to do. Tahnks again for the help. [11:46] joep01: what i would do, is boot up a live CD, and use Gparted to delete your existing Linux partitions(swap, /, et all).. then download the 8.04 alt. install CD, and when it cgets to the partition part, tell it to "Use unallocated space"... and it wil setup that unallocated space automatically [11:46] BlackDex: http://tlug.dnho.net/?q=node/237 [11:46] ?? [11:47] joep01: just make sure when you delete them, you leave them unallocated, and the text installer will do that perfectly. [11:47] damien: gksudo displayconfig-gtk [11:47] how do i do that , im new to ubuntu im used to windows xp [11:47] its a bit confussing [11:47] IndyGunFreak: Yes I got that. Thanks again. I'l be later back as I now have some work to do. Cheers. [11:48] damien: type that line that erUSUL just told you, in a terminal..

[12:17] even when i try closing 1 the other doesnt show up any where for it to be closed and it happens even with a reboot [12:17] hateball, the current user is others and it is there on the path [12:17] even in ubuntu [12:17] why am I getting this error message?

[12:18] shah: ok lol [12:18] mduara: well a correct one would look like: * * * * * root /path/to/file.

Customizing a livecd.. [13:36] Osx5, http://www.scotgold.com/ here is where I get my PC badges [13:36] Osx5: For Notebooks, they are something like 2,5 x 1,8 cm, I think [13:36] _Garfield_: if i remember write the options should be made when doing make or whatever language/compiler youre using "youll have to investigate on the package your compiling" [13:37] damien: should be in your menu, you can always call it by using alt+f2 [13:37] ty [13:38] Hi I have installed openssh-server - how do I enable root login via ssh? [13:38] If I'm working on the actual server I can use: sudo su to change to root user (it prompts me for password). If i try ssh into the server with user root and type in the same password it denies me access [13:38] <_Garfield_> Pirate_Hunter: the problem is that my disk is a 2GB CF card and when I compile the custom kernel the folder goes up to 1,3 GB but then my card is full. Is this foldersize normal? [13:38] hello everyone [13:39] g[r]eek: at the risk of sounding rude: do you *really* want to do that? [13:39] how can i launched a text-based install once connected to a booted liveCD and a launched ssh there? [13:39] g[r]eek, it's not a good idea enable root access, however you have to edit conf files in /etc [13:39] g[r]eek: don't enable root login via ssh. Login as user, then get a shell with root rights with 'sudo -i' [13:39] s/a launched/via launched [13:39] Hi, people. I am having problems mounting my SD card on my HP Pavilion. Help, please? :) [13:39] _Garfield_: no clue i dont compile kernels ask again in 10min someone else might be able to help you [13:39] !rootshell | g[r]eek [13:39] g[r]eek: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) [13:39] <_Garfield_> Pirate_Hunter: ok thanks [13:40] g[r]eek, and root user must have a password (sudo passwd to set up it) [13:40] aha that's it [13:40] lore20: please don't recommend that here [13:40] forgot to set root user's password [13:40] ah icewm isn't bad [13:40] thanks lore20 [13:40] g[r]eek: it's not safe to enable root access like that [13:40] \q [13:40] i just love how each window managers loads different programs in the start menu haha [13:40] soundf_, ok, im sorry [13:40] now i can't find certain things [13:40] g[r]eek, using sudo is better then enabling root access [13:40] Is it possible to automatically boot lvm encrypted ubuntu, without the need to enter passphrase on boot? my root is encrypted? [13:41] i mean, my root is encryoted, [13:41] tenbytes: for each windows manager you need to set it up the way you want the ubuntu for icewm is quite indepth and easy to understand [13:41] encrypted. but i do want it to boot without user intervention [13:41] vladimir_: I don't understand -- what's the point in encrypting root, if you then enable non-interactive booting? [13:41] i was wondering that as well... [13:42] do you have a website with a tutorial on "set it up" [13:42] i want to secure my ubuntu server, that the users won't have access to it, by any means [13:42] vladimir_: unless they physically get hold of the machine :-) [13:42] vladimir_, disconnect your internet [13:43] tenbytes: if you search in google "ubuntu icewm" without the quotes youll find many good tuts "i surely did" [13:43] no, the server is installed at some remote location, where users do have physical access to the unit [13:43] vladimir_: do or don't? [13:43] ikonia: looks like it is not possible to launch a text-based install from liveCD [13:43] do [13:43] HI [13:43] they users have physical access to the unit, which i want to secure [13:43] vladimir_: you sound similar to someone that wanted the same thing even encrypting the whole partition [13:44] vladimir_: those two statements are basically contradictory :-) [13:44] isnt there a way to change boot order from a gui ? [13:44] hi all, having some problems with pulseaudie [13:44] Hi, people. I am having problems mounting my SD card on my HP Pavilion. Help, please? :) [13:44] hei to all [13:44] oh .. morning everyone [13:44] when I try to start I get: ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL equalized [13:44] no, seriously, is that not possible at all? [13:45] !hi | phill [13:45] phill: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [13:45] vladimir_: if your users have physical access, then you can either encrypt root and prevent anyone who doesn't have the password from booting it, or you have to give each user the passphrase. [13:45] hello! how can I regenerate the system ssh keys? I've run ssh-keygen -t rsa, but the resulting fingerprint is still blacklisted by ssh-vulnkey [13:45] no, it's a server, that scans emails for them [13:45] vladimir_: what specific threat are you attempting to defend against? [13:45] is there a way to change boot order from a gui ? [13:45] i don't want them to touch it at all [13:45] it's should work as black box [13:46] you turn it on, it works, you want to mess with it - you can't [13:46] nagyv: just a wild guess dpkg-reconfigure ssh-kernel-server [13:46] ? [13:46] Hi, people. I am having problems mounting my SD card on my HP Pavilion. Help, please? :) === tomaw_ is now known as tomaw [13:46] vladimir_, remove all their user accounts and secure it...thats what you want i guess [13:46] vladimir_: okay, you still need someone at that location who you entrust with the passphrase so they can boot it. [13:47] dvs: huh? what does that even mean "is there a way to change boot order from a gui ?" [13:47] I'm trying to use Ubuntu on Acer Aspire One, I've followed the guide on http://www.aspireoneuser.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=164&st=0&sk=t&sd=a - network manager attempts to look for wireless networks, but it doesn't find any (there are about 3-4 around here now), and iwlist scan doesn't find any either.. any ideas on what to do? [13:47] Qball: I have no such package. Actually, the machine is still running on Feisty. [13:47] no, not good enough. [13:47] Qball: I've tried dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server and openssh-client, but it didn't work [13:48] vladimir_: if it can be rebooted, the machine can easily be owned. that's not a great deal to be done about that. [13:48] the encryption is to secure my programs on the server, so noone can take the hdd out and look through the files [13:48] Pirate_Hunter: well what i really want to do is exclude a couple of the options from the grub boot menu.. but i thought when poking around the system that i saw a way to change the grub options from within gnome .. not in a terminal [13:48] hi i just install ubuntu, i want to check if i select the swap partition correctly, cause i cant remember if i select it or not.. how can i check how much im using for swap? [13:48] vladimir_: do you even realise what your saying please take time to read all your posts and what ppl have recommended your going in circles [13:49] Pirate_Hunter, it means that he wants to change menu.lst without using the CLI ... there is a app for that.. [13:49] vladimir_: look at it that way: in order to boot, it needs to be decrypted. For encryption to make sense, you need a passphrase for decryption. If you don't have the passphrase, it can't be booted. [13:49] mespejel: under your System menu you can find a system monitoring tool. It will tell you how much memory you use. [13:49] hrm [13:50] mespejel: look in gnome-system-monitor [13:50] can't find the source for iceconf for hardy [13:50] mespejel: try "swapon -s" in a terminal [13:50] arvind_khadri: yeah thankx [13:50] dvs: /boot/grub/menu.lst thats where you change grub options but becareful if you mess it up "always backup" [13:50] i mean sources [13:50] thank you guys [13:50] to download [13:51] yeah i did it correctly.. 4gb swap.. its good i guess? if i have 2gig of ram [13:51] that was the old rule of thumb [13:51] dvs, yeah you should be looking for startup-manager [13:51] memory x 2.5 [13:51] but.. today its not really nessasary [13:51] mespejel: more than enough [13:51] Hi, people. I am having problems mounting my SD card on my HP Pavilion. Help, please? :) [13:51] can i hardcode the password into grub and lock down the grub menu so it cannot be edited ? [13:51] mespejel: plenty. with 2 gigs of ram you'll rarely swap anyhow, but disk space is so cheap these days... [13:51] and if you application eats up 4gb of swap.. your machine is uselss [13:52] 512mb is also more then enough [13:52] i would rather have the kernel kill a prosess that eats up so much memory...then let it trash it to uselessnes ;) [13:52] tenbytes: some of the tuts are otudated and you wont find some packages they recommend if icewm is installed than you have everything now you need to copy the files into your home area so you can edit them the way you like it... look for the ubuntu icewm tutorial [13:53] vladimir_: no [13:54] soundray, i thought yes..am not sure though ... [13:54] :) ok 10x alot [13:54] vladimir_: the kind of security you are asking for does not exist [13:54] how can I fix pulseaudio? I keep getting this: ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL equalized [13:55] dromer_: my understanding is that removing pulseaudio is the quickest way to fix it ;-) [13:55] hello, I am trying to remove an install and I get the following error: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/38488/ [13:56] !terminal > arvind_khadri [13:56] arvind_khadri, please see my private message [13:56] How can I uninstall Quake 4?

Any idea what it could be?

Is this foldersize normal? and is it possible to compile the kernel on an external drive and then move it back to the /usr/src [14:01] Rohs: you can try enabling "viusal bell" in your terminal program, i guess [14:01] Rohs: the power button ? [14:01] Pirate_Hunter: I don't have gnome though [14:01] how do I tell which repo a particular installed package has come from? [14:01] I want to see whether my ffmpeg is from medibuntu or not [14:01] Rohs: echo "$(tput flash)" [14:01] i have a Blueproximity thing so my laptop locks [14:01] _Garfield_: custom kernels are not supported. [14:02] lesshaste, apt-cache policy [14:02] and i want it to flash when about to lock [14:02] will remastering ubuntu liveCD filesystem.squashfs (like apt-get install openssh-server) be extracted already during liveCD process? [14:02] firestarter is reporting my computer connected via port 38617 ip 41 [14:02] ip 41.232.148.85 [14:02] <_Garfield_> ikonia: well could you tell me then how I can get rid of the sata_mv crap driver that messes up my rocketraid array [14:02] in there a way to find out which program is making this connection? [14:03] <_Garfield_> ikonia: that's why I'm jumping trough all these hoops anyway [14:03] I can't see any reason for it. [14:03] hellow [14:03] _Garfield_: you could just add the driver to the module blacklist [14:03] _Garfield_: rmmod it, or black list it [14:03] I want to know what i have to set up [14:03] arvind_khadri, thanks! [14:03] <_Garfield_> sipior: I did that [14:03] i want a ubuntu server with openerp [14:03] <_Garfield_> sipor: it doesn't work [14:03] _Garfield_: if you black list it, does the module still load ? [14:03] <_Garfield_> ikonia: yes [14:04] _Garfield_: what about rmmoding it [14:04] _Garfield_: how did you black list it ? [14:04] i'm new on ubunto please help me out [14:05] <_Garfield_> ikonia: rmmod works but that's not a solution, I blacklisted it by adding it to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [14:05] <_Garfield_> ikonia: I added sata_mv to the file === _bobishh_ is now known as bobishh [14:06] <_Garfield_> ikonia: but it still loads [14:06] hi guys, can i install ubuntu using software-raid? in the partitioning stage there's no software raid [14:06] ari_stress: alternative cd only [14:06] _Garfield_: ok, just looking at what that module depends on / depends on that module [14:06] ikonia: thanks [14:07] <_Garfield_> ikonia: meaning? [14:07] _Garfield_: meaning exactly what I've just said [14:07] ikonia: should it be a desktop cd or server? [14:07] ari_stress: is it a desktop ? [14:07] ikonia: yes a desktop [14:07] khkjk [14:07] ari_stress: then it should be the desktop [14:07] woooooooiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [14:07] ikonia: ok :) [14:07] hi! 7.10 When i'm previewing screensavers, my system simply reboots! please help! [14:07] doel: please stop [14:07] doel: something's wrong? [14:07] whyyyyyyyyyyyyy [14:08] doel: please stop now [14:08] ed__: what's the point of asking a question in the channel, then quit? [14:08] www.site-promo.co.cc [14:09] _Garfield_: you added "blacklist sata_mv" to the file, right? [14:09] guys, i want to uck my future ubuntu installation, but the problem is – i don't have ubuntu yet installed, and it looks like uck needs ubuntu [14:09] ikonia: is there any way i can know that i'm downloading the correct cd from the filename of the iso? [14:09] <_Garfield_> ah you need to add the keyword blacklist too? [14:09] <_Garfield_> sipior: that could be it then [14:09] ari_stress: go to http://www.ubuntu.com and download the alternative CD [14:09] sorry i did something wrong [14:09] <_Garfield_> sipior: thanks dude, I'm going to try that right away [14:09] ari_stress: then you know you havce the correct one [14:09] sipior: good spot [14:10] ari_stress: And make sure to check the md5sum after you download. [14:10] ikonia: thanks, the coffee must finally be taking hold for me [14:11] ikonia: it gives me this: ftp://dl2.foss-id.web.id/iso/ubuntu/releases/hardy/ubuntu-8.04.1-server-i386.iso is the alternate the same as server? [14:11] ari_stress: thats the server install [14:11] ari_stress: look at the name "server" [14:11] ed__: currently, OpenERP is not provided as an Ubuntu package. If you're completely new to Ubuntu, setting up an ERP system may not be the ideal project to start with. [14:11] ari_stress: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [14:12] I presssed ctrl+alt+9 by accident and I turned to the console. How can I go back to my X? [14:12] * Pirate_Hunter back what did i miss [14:12] znh: ctrl-alt-f7 [14:12] ikonia: i've checked the 'alternate cd' option and gives me that link [14:12] ari_stress: see the little check box that says Check here if you need the alternate desktop - make sure it's checked [14:12] wraund: ty allot [14:12] soundray: but i have installed it on windows already [14:12] wraund: no worries [14:12] ari_stress: make sure the "which ubuntu release" options is Ubuntu 8.04 desktop [14:12] ok ikonia [14:12] ubottu install php [14:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about install php [14:13] !php [14:13] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL.

What am I doing wrong? [14:14] ciao [14:14] is there anyway of fixing broken packages via terminal?

[14:14] wako: sudo dpkg --configure -a i think [14:15] LOWER_CASE: use rw option [14:15] thk [14:15] ikonia, i get the following error: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: ushare is broken or not fully installed [14:15] LOWER_CASE, isn't the umask an octal for the permissions? [14:15] wruand, I try that and nothing happens [14:15] 000 won't give any read-write privileges, to be unsafe but quick, try mounting it with umask=777 and see if it works [14:15] #ubuntu-it [14:16] ikonia: thanks, reading up on man fstab, will try momentarily.

[14:16] W3st1: /j #ubuntu-it try typing that [14:17] I'm on hardy and I just copied a 16g file on my hd and during the duration of the copy firefox would not do anything, any ideas? [14:17] ok, i didn't know that [14:18] robertj: i believe that's a known issue with the linux version of firefox. a mite sensitive to file i/o... [14:18] soundray: is it easy to set up the server ubuntu edition ? [14:18] ed__: you'd have to follow the instructions on openerp.com. I recommend installing the desktop version of Ubuntu to get familiar with it. [14:18] !ping [14:18] ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [14:18] funnier when Marvin says it. [14:18] ed__: yes, but there is no advantage to using the server edition for your purpose [14:18] i forgot my irc commands lol [14:18] it's been over a decade [14:19] Hey, I'm trying to use Firefox 3 from the package on an old version of Ubuntu (really old machine, don't ask).. is there a package for libstdc++ or do I have to get that the hard way? [14:19] joetheodd_: simple answer is don't [14:19] joetheodd_: it's not aimed at older versions, if it is, it will be in the backports repo [14:19] soundray, i would like to use it as a fileserver aswell and the erp server making it easy to communicate with an outside computer i guess [14:20] I've got a question for ALSA on an amd64-generic kernel [14:20] ikonia, I'm not sure if backports are even around for this version anymore. I used 5.1 I think. [14:20] joetheodd_, try this? http://packages.debian.org/stable/base/libstdc++5 [14:20] PapaGoose, thanks I'll check that out. [14:20] joetheodd_: then don't use it [14:20] ikonia, if I can have a new motherboard then I'll upgrade. [14:20] soundray: you still think it is better to use the desktop edition ? [14:21] ikonia, I tried installing the new ubuntu and got an error, "BIOS date too old" [14:21] Pirate_Hunter: I get this now http://pastebin.com/m6a0bef6e [14:21] ikonia: let them grow let them grow so they can realise the floor is a long way down [14:21] PapaGoose: nice nickname :) [14:21] well, I'm having problems with the desktop edition... [14:21] why can't I always play music? I need to log out and log in [14:21] it just doesn't start to play [14:22] reikalusikka, sometimes my alsa gets confused, i do sudo alsa force-reload, then close and reopen my media player [14:22] joetheodd_: ok [14:22] dromer_: did you change sound options to auto detect, did you follow everthing including downloading getlib? [14:22] hi, i have some private data and files and i would like to put them in a pendrive and cifrate it, with what can i do it? [14:22] lemon: cifrate? [14:22] Pirate_Hunter: I don't know where to change this, I'm in fluxbox [14:22] I don't use gnome [14:22] lemon: what do you mean cifrate? [14:23] do you mean encrypt or password protect? [14:23] didn't work :( [14:23] dromer_: oh you didnt say that before hmmmm... give me a sec [14:23] ari_stress: how do you say in english when you want to make difficult to read a document, lock? [14:23] Pirate_Hunter: getlib is for 64bit isn't it? (guide says so) [14:24] reikalusikka, i've heard good things about pulseaudio for managing sound, not sure if that'll fix the problem or not but it could be worth looking into [14:24] PapaGoose: encrypt [14:24] dromer_: no it works on both [14:24] PapaGoose: ok [14:24] Pirate_Hunter: I did say I wasn't in gnome ;) [14:24] dromer_: oh sorry i wasnt around than and didnt tell you [14:24] Pirate_Hunter: 1a. 64bit/amd64 users only: [14:24] soundray: thanks for the help, i'm off ... see you next time [14:24] hmm, it started work when I reloaded rhytmbox one more time [14:25] Pirate_Hunter: if I need to I will install the getlibs stuff [14:25] dromer_: are you sure you followed those instructions well cause if you did there was a getlib.deb file you had to download [14:25] Hi, I added rw and simplified other options to "UUID=48A0-EFEA /media/CASE vfat rw,user,noauto,exec 0 0", but still mounts as read-only on insertion. Ideas? [14:25] lemon: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-450044.html [14:25] dromer_: i know cause i followed that link and was impressed [14:25] Hey, I'm using recordmydesktop to record...well my desktop, but I want to record the login screen as well, can I run recordmydesktop on tty1 on the command line and set it to record what's on tty7? Or will the connection break when I logout? If I can select which display to record on, how can I do that? [14:26] LOWER_CASE: is it mounted read only - or just as the wrong user [14:26] Pirate_Hunter: hmm, I don't see it anywhere except at the 64bit section [14:26] can someone tell me how to call sound options from terminal? [14:26] Skyrail: i dont think we can record the login screen with recordmydesktop [14:26] and no getlib.deb [14:27] ari_stress: that's a shame, ah well [14:27] sometimes when i run firefox i get alot of hard drive thrashing.. anyone else getting this problem? [14:27] LOWER_CASE: out of interest, why vfat? [14:27] alsamixer [14:27] Sorry to butt in on you guys, but I have a pretty bad problem... when I click the System->Quit, there is no option to restart or shutdown... and I can't shutdown or restart from the login screen either... [14:27] alsmixer gui [14:27] dromer_: I'll be going to the site now [14:27] Skyrail: yeah.. :( [14:27] Snarkster I got that problem but then I switched to Opera and it's better [14:27] It's just that I'm trying to record installing emerald and then applying a theme but I have to restart X in order for it to apply the themes [14:27] Skyrail: If it's for demonstration purposes you could always install a virtual machine and record that... ;) [14:27] ikonia, looking at /media/ after an insertion, CASE is owned by me and my group. [14:27] mike_ hmm opera?? i dont like opera [14:27] LOWER_CASE: and what does mount show - does it show ro [14:28] Does anyone know how to restore missing shutdown buttons? [14:28] hateball: I had thought about a vm, I shall look into it again, I installed..vmbox is it? But it had something missing [14:28] mike_: its normally a theme issue [14:28] dromer_: On 64-bit systems it downloads and installs libraries needed for 32-bit programs and 64-bit programs & On 32-bit systems it downloads and installs libraries needed for 32-bit programs "its highlighted in bold" :/ [14:28] !pm ikonia | oh [14:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about pm ikonia [14:28] How do I PM someone? [14:28] mike_: why are you sending me the PM factoid [14:28] mike_: you don't pm people without asking [14:28] Hi. I'm having issues with 'shut down' not turning off my computer; it shows the Ubuntu power-off 'splash' (where the progress-bar decreases), and afterwards it shows a black terminal with some stuff about CIFS VFS. It hangs there; any tips on what I can do to get more verbose output on what's happening, or debug it? [14:28] ikonia: it's bizarre: "/dev/sdg1 on /media/CASE type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=homer)" [14:29] mike_ you just /msg [14:29] LOWER_CASE: ok - so thats read/write, which on paper is good [14:29] Skyrail: VirtualBox probably. And I'm sure how great it'd work since you'd have no hardware acceleration for compiz/emerald [14:29] dromer_: the file you need is http://www.boundlesssupremacy.com/Cappy/getlibs/getlibs-all.deb and install gnome-control-center believe me it will come in handy [14:29] LOWER_CASE: so if you do "touch /media/CASE/test1" what happens [14:29] Pirate_Hunter: hmmm [14:29] hateball: mhmm, okay, well I'll look into it, thanks =] [14:29] Skyrail: But I guess you could record parts on one machine and then just the login screen on the virtual machine and cut it in something like avidemux [14:29] Godday [14:29] i guess all suport is on english ? [14:30] i will tell you what i can not live with my self if ever did what ubuntu did [14:30] support* [14:30] JohnDoe: correct [14:30] JohnDoe: what language are yo looking or ?

But according to nautilus, it's got a "padlock" icon on it, so I can't use GUI for access. === ekimus_ is now known as rabatitat [14:31] Pirate_Hunter: do I need to do the lines that use getlibs [14:31] ?

[14:32] JohnDoe: /msg (name) [14:32] mike_: you need to open gdm_setup and re-enable them [14:32] Pirate_Hunter: I just thought that it was only for 64bit so I didn't need it [14:32] dromer_: you can always delete it afterwards this is just to edit sound settings [14:33] k=] === num1 is now known as num1_ [14:33] Which support shall i /msg ?

[15:57] its all good [15:57] trakinas: best way, to make sure, is to use the upgrade manager (but yes, apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade will do the same thing) [15:57] trakinas: you need to make sure you upgrade all of the gutsy packages *before* you jump to hardy [15:57] frybye: 2 sec.

[16:06] hmmm [16:06] trakinas: and there is nothing special in my hosts file [16:06] the_edge it sounds a dns issue or your /etc/hosts entry is not pointing to correct host [16:06] the_edge: that probably means that you have a router that resolves mach1 to that machine's IP [16:06] Hi how can i find out about the fs used on external drive while fdisk -l says the partition table is not valid?

[16:08] td-work: that sucks, but the way you describe it its kind of funny [16:09] http://pastebin.com/m37d34379 [16:09] mespejel-> man cfdisk or man sfdisk === CBoss_ is now known as Heikus [16:09] soundray: so what do I have to do so that my machine broadcasts its hostname on my LAN? [16:09] mespejel-> i don know much about those tools yet [16:09] ok [16:09] Gnea http://paste.ubuntu.com/38525 [16:09] its a iomega hard external drive so don't know exactly [16:09] i will check it [16:09] thank you [16:10] soundray: because the only difference between mach1 and the other machines is mach1 is running kubuntu 6 or 7 and the other machines are running ubuntu 8.04 [16:10] the_edge: it's not the job of your machine to broadcast anything on your LAN -- unless you set it up as a nameserver. You don't want that if there's already a router on your system. [16:10] question: I have sda1, sdb1, and sdc1 showing unknown partitions, but I know they are a software raid set. How do I reb uild it to get the data from the raid? [16:10] can it do any dammage partitioning it to ext3 while it is not specified to be abel to do it [16:10] Gnea http://paste.ubuntu.com/38526 also [16:11] it is a disk with mirroring function soundray [16:11] elo_: hrm. yeah. not sure what happened there. looks like you have an impossible situation on your hands. [16:12] susscorfa: you shouldn't format it to anything before partitioning. Is this a brand new drive, or is there data on it? [16:12] is there any way to salvage stuff from my kubuntu files? [16:12] i tried to mount it but it asks me to mention the filesystem also [16:12] it is new or atleast has no data [16:12] soundray: ok, I'll try to investigate into this a little more, thanks for the help (and to all the others who also answered) [16:12] hi, what's the name of the package for the non-free java? [16:12] elo_: it's never going to mount it. your partition setup is totally wrong. [16:12] i did mkdir /media/linux and then did mount -o rw /dev/sda5 /media/linux [16:12] susscorfa: run cfdisk /dev/sdb and create a primary partition with label 83 [16:13] everything was working fine and then all of a sudden during my session it says my FS is read only [16:13] out of the blue [16:13] susscorfa: sorry, I mean partition type 83 [16:13] i have a problem whit synapic i sost re installed xubuntu and when i open synapic it says " Starting whitout administrative privledges you will not be able to aply any changes.But you can still export the market changes or create script for them " [16:13] anyone know the name of the java package [16:13] allup: run 'gksudo synaptic' instead.

[16:16] and that it has been running fine for over a month and the last session was running for the last 11 days [16:16] soundray:ok i quess then :) [16:17] elo_: that means nothing. your extended drive thinks that it's supposed to be designed for windows 95.

[16:25] soundray: hrm, let's see here: a) the extended partition is set to contain fat32 filesystems. b) he's got ext3 and linux swap filesystems contained in there. [16:25] liek i said everything was working fine [16:25] LordOfThePigs: ok, then you need to ask again, as i do not know more than that [16:25] elo_: yes, but was the partition type of sda2 always set to f? [16:25] how coudl this all of a sudden become the FS of DOOM!? [16:25] elo_: unexpected ro remounts happen as an emergency measure when the kernel thinks there's a filesystem inconsistency. I would run "e2fsck -y /dev/sda5" from a live CD or 'sudo touch /forcefsck' and reboot [16:25] How can I find out which version of alsa is included in linux-backport-modules? [16:26] Stickypunch: do you ahve a hardware router/firewall? [16:26] Gnea: there is nothing wrong with the way the extended partition is set up.

[16:26] Stickypunch: well, it probably has a firewall in it... whats the model on it? . [16:27] elo_: it's an either/or.

I tried to umount this one but already have an error : umount: /dev: device is busy. Thanks for you help (repost N°2) [16:29] soundray: all he has to do is change the partition type from f to 5 [16:29] denise [16:30] so then should i ctrl+c the ext2fsck? [16:30] oh it's over now [16:30] soundray:where is volume controll? [16:30] elo_: better to let it run its course, that could just create more problems.

[17:27] threedee: listen very carefully - ubuntu can play CD's your base intalls (yours and bazhang's) are the same - so if bazhang's can, yours can too, we just need to work out the issue [17:27] naxa, okay, there is a solution to that [17:27] I cannot listen to music [17:27] brunner: if it is I haven't heard of it [17:27] naxa: that's a known bug [17:27] bazhang, oh my thanks, what is that? [17:28] naxa, you need to cancel out the process first [17:28] prince_jammys, bazhang this is great can you help me what to do [17:28] ikonia: that is obvious [17:28] threedee: ok - great, so why not listen to the people helping you to work it through [17:28] I want to know why on gdm I see small letters on text fields [17:28] threedee, checklist - :1.) does the cd drive work? 2) is the cd clean and non-scratched? 3.) is there music on it? 4.) what did you do to break it? [17:28] Gnea; The solution didnt work ruby still doesnt work for me [17:28] lenswipe: oh, well, sorry, WEbrick isn't officially packaged, therefore it's not officially supported. You should consider talking to the WEbrick people about it. [17:28] threedee: 2 people have provided information/forum threads to get some more info [17:28] naxa: bazhang seems to have the info. i did go through it myself when i upgraded. [17:28] heh [17:28] thank you for all your help [17:28] bazhang: ;) [17:28] I very much appreciate it [17:29] great [17:29] bazhang, which process should i kill? [17:29] threedee, just put in the cd [17:29] naxa, the upgrade one [17:29] I will try another CD [17:29] why might the mysql port only be accessible only on the localhost loopback interface? [17:29] bazhang, but will the system work after that? [17:29] naxa, then boot from the earlier kernel [17:29] taak: security reasons, I gues [17:29] *guess [17:30] naxa, sure [17:30] taak: it's probably listening on all ports, but the users access is not user@% it's probably user@localhost [17:30] I have put in another CD [17:30] threedee, does the system prompt you? [17:30] Slart: perhaps i should have asked "how" rather than "why" [17:30] I get a "Cannot mount volume" alert window - der!!! [17:31] threedee, see, theres your problem [17:31] naxa, you need to get into grub on the next reboot and go to the earlier kernel and do the upgrade after booting from that one [17:31] ikonia: no, i nmapped it and doesn't show 3306 as being open unless you do it from 127.0.0.1 [17:31] threedee, does it say why? [17:31] .... and yet Rythembox opens [17:31] taak: no problem, check out my.cnf then [17:31] threedee, does the cd show in r-box? [17:31] taak: ah.. you want it to listen to the regular network port?.. hmm.. it's been a while since I messed with mysql.. check the mysql settings file.. look for someting like "listen localhost" or something similar [17:32] ah, i see it. [17:32] taak: sorry I can't be more specific.. perhaps someone else knows the details.. but it's very possible [17:32] back in a second [17:32] it says in my.cnf: # Instead of skip-networking the default is now to listen only on localhost which is more compatible and is not less secure. [17:32] Bodsda: then this should not be a problem [17:32] threedee: ther eyou go [17:32] threedee: oops, sorr [17:32] taak: there you go [17:33] threedee, what shouldnt? is it playing? [17:33] and restarting mysqld is /etc/init.d/mysql restart, right? [17:33] it is [17:33] taak: after you have made the changes [17:33] right [17:34] threedee, if you dont answer me i cant help [17:34] I've got 64-bit Ubuntu (Hardy) and I can't install .rar support (Eugene Roshal's) through Add/Remove Applications, is this a known bug? [17:34] felix: what happens why you try [17:34] felix: go to synaptic to get it [17:35] Bodsda: I dont need to see "Cannot mount volume" messages [17:35] Who wrote this software? [17:35] threedee, well then i dont need to be wasting my time, thankyou and goodbye [17:35] threedee: what software ? [17:35] the checkbox is grey, indicating that apparently its not available, and yes I can install it though synaptic, that's why its such an odd bug [17:35] felix: what check box [17:35] hi there [17:35] felix: how are you getting a check box, if your not using synaptic [17:36] ikonia, by software she means Ubuntu [17:36] is there a command line guru out here ? [17:36] ikonia: when you go to Add/Remove Applications I mean [17:36] felix: that is synaptic [17:36] paparsifal, just ask your question please [17:36] ikonia: there are several players - I dont know who to hold responsible - Totem, Rythembox, Xine [17:36] ikonia: how is that synaptic packet manager? I reach that though System > Administration right? [17:37] threedee: it looks like ubuntu can't mount the cd - rather than the players [17:37] ok i do a find -type d -print0 | sort -z | head -10 [17:37] but that doesn't work [17:37] head doesn't understand null terminated string [17:37] felix: ahh sorry, you mean from the base drop down menu ? [17:37] ikonia: you got it [17:37] how could i make it work [17:37] ubuntu is not software, its a collection [17:37] maybe awk instead of head ?

[17:39] tr ? [17:39] paparsifal: tr '\0' 'n' [17:39] ikonia: maybe, but if it's a known bug, would be handy if it gets fixed, for users that aren't experienced. [17:39] lol [17:39] paparsifal: tr '\0' '\n' , rather [17:39] so the command is 'sudo bash vhcs.sh "? correct? [17:39] don't know if its a bug [17:39] it may be setup to behave like that on purpose [17:39] Brucee: correct [17:39] sorry i am new to all this.. and thannks [17:39] Brucee, nothing to be sorry for [17:39] well i want it to be null separated because i pass it then to xargs [17:40] lol, Canonical is secretly boycotting closed source [17:40] Brucee: look at the first line of the script what does the #!/bin comment say [17:40] felix: nothing secret about it [17:40] felix: ? [17:40] j/k [17:40] paparsifal: and run what on them? [17:40] Brucee: no worries.. bash and sh are almost the same.. bash has some extra features sh doesn't have.. sometimes people use those without remembering to tell the users =) [17:40] rm [17:40] ok, thanks [17:40] !who > paparsifal [17:40] paparsifal, please see my private message [17:41] prince_jammys: rm [17:41] sorry [17:42] paparsifal: perhaps you can do the translation to zero terminated strings after the "head" command [17:42] i am not able to add buddy to my yahoo account in pidgin...any help [17:42] Is anyone here familiar with Wine, got some weird behavior [17:42] paparsifal: you can't have newlines in folder names anyway.. right?

[17:46] it does work well with tr "after" find [17:46] paparsifal: welcome. bash can read NUL separated input. [17:47] sexcopter, i can think of a workaround, you could make a script that opens firefox at a certain site, then save the script and run it when you wanna go there [17:47] paparsifal: yes, but like you said, with tr it breaks when files have newlines. not with that loop, though. [17:47] sexcopter: I believe if you make a new launher file that just contains a web address, nautilus should launch it [17:47] sexcopter: (I think) [17:48] Hey, earlier this year, i installed a newer driver for a 7600gt card from the nvidia website, all was well, then an update came it and killed the driver, so it only operates in low driver mode, I doesnt show me the driver for it in restricted drivers, and adding nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-new has no effect, any ideas?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [18:22] are there any playstation emulators in the repos? [18:22] wondering if ubuntu is intuitive enough to find most drivers on install [18:22] Augustine, i would say you should try it out. Theres a pretty good chance it should work, because ubuntu works on most hardware. [18:23] Augustine, try the live cd [18:23] orgthingy: It's probably part of my xchat-gnome [18:23] who needs help with Ubuntu === eth01|MANCHESTER is now known as eth01 [18:23] oh [18:23] i have normal xchat [18:23] ikonia, cool.

Otherwise try the boards, if you're having trouble. But i can't see why you should have any troubles.

[18:36] Sadik_Khalid: https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-ml see, there already is a team [18:36] i dunno i don't use apt-get unless i use a guide for installing so i usually just use package manager [18:36] ok [18:36] ill checkit out [18:36] ikonia: because i want to take away space from sda1 and give more to /home, and of course move all the games over to /home [18:36] eth01; i'm using tftpd-hpa... [18:36] sjovan: but you have no space on / [18:37] x_: over the wan? [18:37] paparsifal: used that, but it only seems to work if it is already installed (so it will no longer be marked as automatically installed?_ [18:37] or is it internal to your network, x_> [18:37] ? [18:37] paparsifal: well, you can just rm the link [18:37] Myrtti: Thanks - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IndianTeam (not updated, I'll do that) [18:38] whats a cool rss reader for gnome?

[18:40] yes [18:40] ikonia: yes but it probably is wasting resources [18:40] HymnToLife: it delete my file [18:40] when you make a hardlink, you have two names in the filesystem that reference the same file [18:40] Sonderblade: the logger is running - how is that wasting resources [18:41] if you rm one, it just removes the reference in the filesystem [18:41] HymnToLife: yes [18:41] hey i installed hardy but im not getting any sound and its turned up [18:41] the other one is still there, as well as the contents of the file [18:41] just try [18:41] HymnToLife: but i want to keep it [18:41] i have a printer running on a home server which uses cups for the printer. i have tried to addthis printer to my computer, and it seems to add ok but i cant get anything to print and it prints ok on other computers although they are windows laptops [18:41] what I told you above [18:41] paparsifal: /bin IS present on my linux partition [18:41] hmm [18:41] ikonia: i didn't say it was, i said it probably is [18:41] anyone know what i might be doing wrong to connect to printer [18:41] elo_: and what's in it [18:41] elo_: /usr/bin [18:41] lots of stuff [18:41] elo_: not /bin [18:41] then I didn't understand what you want, you were quite vague in your explanation [18:41] oh ok [18:41] can someone help me figure out why gtk-gnutella says i have a firewall when i dont? [18:41] HymnToLife: in fact, when you rm any file, only the link is removed. the file is still left on the filesystem :) [18:42] one sec [18:42] /quit [18:42] Chousuke: yes, that was my point ;) [18:42] elo_: and also they maybe there, but is /lib populated [18:42] elo_: hey won't run if the libraries they link against arn't there [18:42] HymnToLife: i want to break the hardlink that is i want the file to reference a new inode with same content [18:42] HymnToLife: applications that have it open can even prevent the space from being freed. [18:42] hi anyone knows about webCams and how to get it to work with ubuntu? [18:42] paparsifal: oh, I see [18:42] i have trouble accessing folders in my Home folder on the OS X partition from hardy. i followed the mac guide and i also have permissions set to "read" for "everyone" in os x. can anyone help me out? [18:42] well, then you obviously must cp it [18:42] hi, I'm running ubuntu with dual monitors and separate x screens, when I try to add a workspace on the panel at on x screen 2 it instead appears on the panel on screen 1, why? [18:42] is there a command to tell me what distro I'm logged into? for example, "debian" or "fedora".

[18:43] elo_: or /lib [18:43] HymnToLife: yes but i must use a temporary file, wich can lead to using a filename that already exist [18:43] anyone? [18:43] elo_: most applications will be linked against libs in both [18:44] bionk: saying anyone is pointless, if someone missed your question "anyone" won't tell them what it is, and if someone doesn't know the answer saying "anyone" won't make them know it [18:44] hmm, I don't think there's a way around it [18:44] Hi how to use firewire 1394 on ubuntu? [18:44] HymnToLife: i'm talking about an automatic procedure here [18:44] ikonia: /usr/lib has lots of stuff in it [18:44] same with /lib [18:44] ikonia, my message was not that far away [18:44] elo_: I'm sure it does, but for what ever reasons the applications in /bin can't be used when you boot the system [18:44] Anyone using aiotrade? [18:44] bionk: yes, so saying anyone is pointless [18:44] if you need unique filenames, use uuidcdef [18:44] so no matter what i'm screwed? [18:45] ikonia: but doesn't diskanalyze what's useing space? [18:45] elo_: as you can see from your paste - simple things that are core like "grep" cannot be used [18:45] thanx for your help HymnToLife, i'll think of it while eating [18:45] c u [18:45] sjovan: I don't know how that works [18:45] elo_: you can spend days working this out, or you can re-install [18:45] anyone know why freenx server is not on the official repos? it is GPL [18:45] ikonia, no since it gives it a little more attention hopefully [18:45] bionk: no - it just creates random noise in the channel. [18:46] ikonia: any other rss reader you can advice? like popups [18:46] ikonia, i disagree :) [18:46] hi, I'm running ubuntu with dual monitors and separate x screens, when I try to add a workspace on the panel at on x screen 2 it instead appears on the panel on screen 1, why?

[18:50] jimcooncat, well there will be an /etc/debian_version in debian based distros [18:50] citroxx: yes, though if you're in Windows, winscp is imho better [18:50] how would i get my WMP54G pci card to work with wpa_supplicant? [18:50] ok, thanks HymnToLife thats easyier than setting up ftp daemon [18:51] citroxx: sure is ;) FileZilla supports it too, if you already have it [18:51] jimcooncat, or /etc/redhat-release for redhat based distros [18:51] slt [18:51] Sylphid|work: thanks, that's helpful.

[19:37] sorry [19:37] i wont use virtual machine [19:37] red_mercury-ar: you're only other choice would be to just install BSD. You can't run two kernels at same time. [19:37] red_mercury-ar, you can install BSD using Virtualbox. You can't use the BSD kernel to run ubuntu [19:38] would anyone be willing to assist me with how to mount isos [19:38] ? === akcin is now known as Akcin === Akcin is now known as akcin [19:38] !mountiso | akcin [19:38] akcin: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » or use the "gmountiso" package - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify downloaded ISO images using !MD5 before !burning.

I uninstalled parallels desktop from my ubuntu machine, whome which left a virtual device (wmaster0) on my machine. Is there a way to delete this? I've tried from the /sys folder, but I get permission denied (even when root) [19:39] anyone else have any solutions to my problem with my nvidia geforce 8600 [19:39] red_mercury-ar: that's possible with grub I think [19:39] red_mercury-ar: So, install BSD on another partition. [19:39] firefly2442: I'm guessing that you're using an EEE? [19:39] I'll be back. [19:39] akcin: yes, 1000 series [19:39] I'll be back. [19:39] failure: have a developer at yoru disposal? i think i found a project that does MOST of that you want. [19:39] I'll be back. [19:39] red_mercury-ar, I believe you only need to install BSD in another partition and edit grub [19:39] firefly2442: I wish I could help you with that... Im having the same problem on my 701 [19:40] hi all [19:40] akcin: yeah, lots of the gnome apps have windows that are much too big [19:40] someone here knows how to install jack on 8.04 ?

(it's a CD rip) [19:41] i'm kinda puzzled---any ideas? [19:41] red_mercury-ar, I don't think you can do that. Resize the partition (backup first) and install BSD in the free space [19:41] firefly2442: if you're using compiz, "gconftool-2 --set /apps/compiz/plugins/move/allscreens/options/constrain_y --type bool 0" [19:42] sexcopter: audacity? === a5an0 is now known as someguy [19:42] ompaul: how [19:42] kc8pxy: i'll give it a go, thanks [19:42] sexcopter: with audacity, you can visually identify the silent gaps [19:43] anyone, any ideas? [19:43] red_mercury-ar, divide and conqueror, you split it with the partition tool as you are installing [19:43] ahh cool, so I just hold the ALT key and click and drag.... that's easy [19:44] I think that should be an option when you right click on the window bar [19:44] sexcopter: Slade never had a 8600, sorry. and I'm just hanging here because the FG i work at install ubuntu by default. [19:44] firefly2442: I think it is in Windows... but yeah, Linux doesn't seem to have it [19:44] firefly2442: a lot of the stuff that the scripts on that page do is actually best solved with the array.org kernel. See http://www.array.org/ubuntu/ [19:44] yeah, I got the array kernel :D [19:45] I'm sorry for the inconvenience [19:46] red_mercury-ar, you still trying to run BSD kernel under ubuntu...?

[20:09] Anybody feels like helping me out with a problem compiling wine? [20:09] spm: you should install it from synaptic [20:09] i downloaded some control panel [20:10] can you send me the link or whats is synaptic?

Did 7.x have decent wpa support? That was the main thing missing for me from in 6.02 [20:10] is the nvidia control panel [20:11] CV: I have no idea.. I almost never use my wireless card.. [20:11] CV, there was no 6.02 try 6.06 or 6.10 [20:11] spm: synaptic will allow you to seach from nvidia-settings.... you can then isntall it from there [20:12] okay [20:12] right, so I need to compile wine because with the regular synaptic package I don't really see a way to patch it.. So, I installed the recommended packages from the list from winehq using apt-get build-dep wine.. but when I do the ./configure command it ends up saying: Freetype development files not found. Fonts will not be built. -- anybody knows how to fix this? [20:12] daan: install the freetype development files? [20:12] daan: try searching synaptic for freetype dev [20:13] can ubuntu read a dynamic volume made under win xp ?

[20:14] spm: what red mark? [20:14] doh - i meant 6.06 (both times!) [20:14] so amd 770/790 support and phenom support works Out of the box, correct? [20:14] daan: why are you compiling wine? [20:15] hold on let me copy it [20:15] hololight: to apply a patch [20:15] The howto just says like: run the ./configure command [20:15] and then a make depend [20:15] slart - you asked for dmesg. It overflows my terminal buffer. Do you still want what is there? [20:15] but it won't even do the ./configure [20:15] well it will === orgthingy is now known as orgMovie [20:15] but it ends up giving an error [20:15] daan: is the freetype thing a warning or an error? [20:15] daan: well, after the patch did you reconf? doubt that is the prob, but still [20:15] umm [20:15] CV: do dmesg | tail [20:15] daan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[20:28] any ideas then? The wierd thing is that I did have ethernet and wireless in 6.10/6.06 [20:28] shaffy: perhaps in ~/.ktorrent [20:28] ali: at 15:26 u sent a message, at 15:27, after recieveing no reply you sent it again; that is spamming [20:28] i couldn't get the live cd of 8.04 to run - hence the install via 6.06 [20:28] Slart: couldn't find it. [20:29] holo - if I had not been posting here and waiting 20 mins with no replys in the last couple of days you might be right... [20:29] hololight: i added something [20:29] shaffy, take a look at man ktorrent. That kind of information is usually there [20:29] ali: but never the less, it sounds like a network issue [20:29] slart: i did post a bunch more info at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=893391 - would be great if you could take a look [20:29] CV: no, I have no ideas right now.. hard to diagnose something without any kind of error messages [20:29] CV: I'll take a look [20:29] thx [20:29] ali, can you ping anything, such as google?

All your setting will be saved 'cuz they are in your home path [21:00] I would like to just use 5.10, as it would take longer to download 6.06 and then burnn a cd [21:00] erUSUL: im not sure what that is really?

[21:01] dropper: It may, but I forget how. It's been awhile since Breezy. [21:01] I just switched from windows, wat is the comparable thing to task manager in ubuntu where i can end processess? [21:01] does anyone one know if there is a msn app that supports viewing webcams [21:02] or see whats running [21:02] RyanPrior: thanks for the suggestion/s! [21:02] Wh00mp: a terminal ., [21:02] Why are ; and && operators not working on panel shortcuts? Anyone?

[21:04] woozzy: To install software in Ubuntu, select "Add/Remove Programs" under "Applications" in the top left corner. The latest versions of Gaim are called Pidgin. [21:05] blaaaaaaaaaah; there is like 30 processess running any GUI way to do this or only threw term? [21:05] hello [21:05] but i am unable to view webcams [21:05] what program can make icq search?

[21:06] nope cant view peoples cams [21:06] dinar_: You'll have to use the ICQ website, or the official ICQ client. Pidgin supports chat, but not searching. [21:06] ok [21:06] woozzy; what kind of cam are you trying to view? just random ones? look for google dorks/hacks theres a bunch to view other peoples cameras and find them on the search engine [21:06] bobishh: oh its ok, thanks anyway [21:06] is there official client for ubuntu? [21:06] Is there anyway to style the terminal in Ubuntu (Gnome's default one, the name escapes me) so that it has some internal padding giving some space inbetween the text and the edges? [21:06] dinar_: Nope, you'd have to run the official client in a Windows VM or using Wine. [21:06] i mean on windows msn if someone has a webcam u can click on view cam and i can see that persons cam [21:07] is there miranda for linux? [21:07] but pidgiam aint got that function [21:07] bobishh: any idea? [21:07] ole__: It's fairly easy to use those letters if you have them on your keyboard, or have a compose key. [21:07] woozzy: aMSN has webcam support IIRC [21:08] i'm trying to set up an ftp server - i have a 1tb firewire hard drive where i want to store all the files in ftp root [21:08] woozzy; sorry dont use IM's maybe have them save it to a .mp4 or .avi or something and send it to you rapid share [21:08] dinar_: Miranda is Pidgin remixed for Mac, basically. [21:08] in ea user's home dir i place a symlink to this firewire hd [21:08] but when i connect the symlink appears as a text file [21:08] maby, but i all others program i use i need those letter becouse i am a norwegian and that letter is use a lott [21:08] i can't click it and see everything in the directory [21:08] random question: anyone know why more is not just a sym or hardlink to less? Since less behaves like more when invoked via the more name? [21:08] how can i fix? [21:08] pos69sum: Why use FTP instead of SSH or NFS? === talcite_ is now known as talcite [21:08] thanks === afallenhope is now known as InvisibleHeero [21:09] RyanPrior: do u know any good software for ubuntu that allows you to write subtitles for a video or a clip that i have made? [21:09] alot of people dont know how to use SSH or NFS [21:09] sweetgum, wait... i'm thinking) you can try text mode or smthn... i don't think that there's hardware problem.. [21:09] RyanPrior it's r ftp over tls/ssl [21:09] newly windows people are used to FTP [21:09] I don't think my network-manager-gnome package is working, as i can't see the network manager icon on my task bar [21:09] beam: Unfortunately, Linux video apps aren't so great - but that being said, there are a few. Open Movie Editor and Avidemux can do that, I think. [21:09] bobish: brb, ill try [21:10] RyanPrior: ok, i will try that. Thanks [21:10] beam: kino should be a great program, tv stations are using it === SplinTer is now known as SplinTer0616_ [21:10] its something like adobe premiere [21:11] beam: you mean embedded the subtitles in the movie or edit subtitles files? [21:11] DIFH-iceroot: thanks Michael, i will try that [21:12] Ive never had any problems with playing videos on my ubuntu, its actully a pretty good program that comes factory with ubuntu client [21:12] carandraug: i mean like putting subtitles in a diffrent language that the language that is been heard from the mouths of the speakers [21:12] beam, 'bout blender - installing it from repos is much easier [21:12] soo funny - http://i8t.de/c6ek2n3i xD [21:13] bobishh: what is repos? [21:13] beam, )) but if you need later version it is better to checkout svn === Abraxas_ is now known as llama_02 [21:13] beam: short for repositories, collections of packages that can be downloaded with apt-get [21:13] bobishh: sorry but i dont know what svn is aswell [21:14] beam, "apt-get install blender" .. repos = repositories (nano /etc/apt/sources.list) [21:14] why can't I access my windows shares using the name of the pc (odin), but I'm able to access it via it's ip address (192.168.1.5)?? [21:14] llama_02: please stay on-topic. [21:14] wirenik: Oh ok thanks [21:14] beam: you can have subtitles in a separate file. "Subtitle editor" is probably your best shot. If you give the subtitle file the same name of the movie/clip, most software will also load the subtitles from the file [21:14] bobishh: oh ok, thanks [21:14] beam: svn ("subversion") is a tool for advanced users to get the latest cutting-edge software directly from the developers, and to allow developers to share their code. [21:14] beam, check out wiki page 'bout svn [21:14] !svn | beam [21:14] beam: svn is Subversion: an open-source revision control system, which aims to be a compelling replacement for CVS. See http://subversion.tigris.org/ [21:14] is everything with ubuntu and debian all sudo-apt get install? what if there is a cool .tar linuz file i want to install? [21:15] WoW thanks guys [21:15] !cvs [21:15] cvs is the Concurrent Versions System, the dominant open-source network-transparent version control system; it helps to manage releases and to control concurrent editing of source files among multiple authors. See: https://www.cvshome.org/ [21:15] Wh00mp: then you will need to follow the instructions to compile it [21:15] Is CVS still dominant?! [21:15] Wh00mp: it's best to see if you can find an ubuntu/debian port of it first. support for a .tar tends to fall short. [21:15] IndyGunFreak; ok so with linux instead of installing a program, you are compiling it into your OS? [21:15] !best | RyanPrior [21:15] RyanPrior: 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. [21:16] RyanPrior: probably :p [21:16] bobishh: ok i will [21:16] Wh00mp: um [21:16] Wh00mp: no, you're still installing it, you just have to compile it to work w/ your distro. [21:16] Wh00mp: compiling a program may be a step in installing it. [21:16] can someone help me with some samba/windows shares issues?? [21:16] hi ppl [21:16] this is why windows sucks: [21:16] Wh00mp: it's not always necessary === lordfdisk is now known as LordFDisk [21:16] !anyone | Paradox34690 [21:16] Paradox34690: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [21:16] Hello. I'm trying to install a program by compiling the source. It requires SDL. I have installed the sdl library, configure complains it cant find it. Someone told me I have to specify the prefix where i installed sdl. Could someone explain to me what prefix means in this context? [21:16] Wh00mp: honestly, as new as you are, stick w/ whats in the repositories, learnin to compile from source, will come w/ time... [21:16] Wh00mp: but some distros even base their pacakge model entirely on building from source [21:16] http://digg.com/microsoft/Vista_For_advanced_computing [21:17] bIgBoSs_000: It isn't productive to talk about why Windows sucks here. Please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [21:17] okay [21:17] sweetgum, ? are you still here ? [21:17] bobishh: i like xchat already!!! its incredibley awesome!!! Im glad i got Ubuntu. Windows sucks big time!!1 [21:17] Wh00mp: 99% of windows software comes pre-compiled (hence, .exe files) since, well, heh, it's a closed-source OS. Ubuntu bridges the gap and makes it easier for people to get an open-source OS up and running quickly, without having to bother compiling software. Of course, the option is there for you to compile software. [21:17] RyanPrior: please note, i've already stated my question... people just don't answer... so when that happens, I'll use the obligatory "anyone" thanks though for noticing the question and not answering ;) [21:17] Hello guys.. I recently shifted from debian to ubuntu. I've some problem with PIDGIN. when I close it. It doesn't minimize to tray instead it completely quits. [21:17] IndyGunFreak; i see.. i have compiled source in windows but i am finding out linux is completely diffrent they dont have .exe files ?? [21:18] Hello. I'm trying to install a program by compiling the source. It requires SDL. I have installed the sdl library, configure complains it cant find it. Someone told me I have to specify the prefix where i installed sdl. Could someone explain to me what prefix means in this context? [21:18] Wh00mp: yes, Linux is completely different... [21:18] is there a way to see what repository a package was downloaded and installed from? [21:18] hey guy from cannonical- could you write drivers for sis graphic card? [21:18] Paradox34690: using the "someone" line will not help people who are seeing your question for the first time. :-) [21:18] Later I noticed that, there is no tray on my task bar. pls.. help. how to add tray icon to task bar? [21:18] bezim: why would they?.. the SIS's are pretty rare. [21:18] claws, I believe you have an option in Pudgin preferences for that [21:18] bezim: not sure if there is anyone from canonical here.. you might want to send them an email instead [21:18] claws: right click>Add to panel>notification area [21:18] claws, you use Gnome? [21:19] yeah [21:19] Wh00mp: you should really read this: http://www.linuxnewbieguide.org/ [21:19] why can't I access my windows shares using the name of the pc (odin), but I'm able to access it via it's ip address (192.168.1.5)?? [21:19] Great got it!!! :) [21:19] claws: if you use Gnome, follow erUSUL 's advice on adding the notification area to your taskbar [21:19] Paradox34690: do you have dns resolution setup? ie can you ping the computer by name? [21:20] bobishh: which programming language do u reccommend? I would like to learn one [21:20] claws: found the little icon? :) [21:20] claws, right click in one of the panels (where you want the icon to appear) and select add to panel. Then choose to add Notification area. It's near the end of the list [21:20] bobishh: i know HTML thats all [21:20] yepp :D [21:20] beam: python is easy since you don't have to compile.. but it is weird in some ways.. java is used in many places for programming courses [21:20] slart: yes, I can go into the networking tools of ubuntu and ping by name, but I can't access it via the "connect to server" or anything... [21:20] bobishh: i would like to move on to Programming [21:20] java is evil [21:20] too many bugs [21:21] Slart: Thanks brother [21:21] dorito: everything has bugs. [21:21] Gnea: my room doesn't.. :) [21:21] IndyGunFreak: sssh! ;) [21:21] Paradox34690: I haven't got a done solution to this.. but samba has this other name resolution thingy.. nmdb.. I don't know much about it but you might want to check the docs for samba [21:21] yeah but the Java virtual machine defines the word bug :P === giuseppe is now known as Guest10039 [21:21] does anyone know what prefix means? [21:21] beam, oh... it depends on what you want to do with it in future [21:21] in the context of linux [21:21] normloman: prefix, something you put before something else [21:22] Slart: what can you develop using Python? [21:22] why is it that I've to give normal user's password when I do sudo . It doesn't work if I give super users password. why so? [21:22] dorito: i think you've confused the JVM with any version of Windows ;) [21:22] it's actually a software bug as opposed to bug. duh! [21:22] !ot [21:22] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [21:22] so in the context of software [21:22] what is a prefix [21:22] for instance [21:22] please ffs use proper wordings [21:22] beam: world orbiting brain lasers.. or just about anything [21:22] im compiling a program [21:22] ok, i have an nvidia GeForce 8600 GT. I got the desktop effects enabled, but i cat get my second monitor to turn on [21:22] and Im told to define the SDL prefix [21:22] Gnea - thanks some of that info in there i am sure will be helpful :) [21:22] nvidia-settings says im not using the nvidia driver [21:22] hay all I am getting a udevd-event[#####]: run program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit error on boot. about 2 out of 3 times now.. any ideas [21:22] !enter > normloman [21:22] my xorg.conf says that i am [21:22] normloman, please see my private message [21:22] beam: it's not really really fast but it's easy to work with.. and it comes with a lot of stuff built in [21:22] Slade: do you have nvidia-settings installed? [21:22] bobishh: i want to learn something that is easy to grasp and can develop some pretty cool things [21:22] slart: I might have to do that... I can access the system if I go to (for instance) smb://192.168.1.5 and can view all the shares, but like I said, I cant get to it via smb://odin [21:22] !compile | normloman [21:22] normloman: Compiling software from source?

I have it all setup on the server side, just not sure how to configure the client.

[21:25] IndyGunFreak, originally using the hardware manager saying that i needed the restricted modules [21:25] bobishh: ive tried C++ i think its difficult [21:25] The word prefix appears once [21:25] well it installed those and it didn't exactly do anything for me [21:25] thanks [21:25] even after reboot [21:25] jameswf-home: ffs. read what i wrote. shorewall [21:25] carandraug: i see lol [21:25] bobishh: i think ill have go with Python [21:25] so i uninstalled it and installed envyng. that installed new modules [21:25] Ubuntu also users the same Deb packages. If there are plenty of debian repositories. then why do we have seperate ubuntu repositories? [21:25] Is there a linux glossary?

And install libnotify-bin [21:26] claws: the same aplies i.e for redhat/opensuse/mandriva rpm packages [21:26] All of my advanced mousepad (laptop) functions stopped working.

[21:27] normloman: yes, and it explains it precisely. [21:27] Pleeease? [21:27] beam, what country are you from ? [21:27] normloman: For example, by default the configure script installs to /usr/local. If you want to change the path, you would execute the configure script as shown below: <---- it's saying that /usr/local is the "root" location [21:28] bobish: I am from Oman [21:28] Wh00mp, you can chabge the proxy in Xchat in the preferences menu under network setup [21:28] bobishh: I am from Oman? [21:28] normloman: so if it were to install any configuration files, they wouldn't go to /etc, but to /usr/local/etc [21:28] re - how can I delefe a file in the Trashcan that seems to need "root" permissions to delete it?

Does that make any sense? [21:29] Slade: that shoudln't really matter, i was simply curious. [21:29] i don't have a 64 bit processor [21:29] claws: just ask the question, in one line if you can ... you don't have to beg for help.. in fact, begging for it will more than likely get people to NOT want to help you, FYI. [21:30] RyanPrior: I just used Knoppix instead. "linux single" just works. [21:30] dropper: Knoppix is nice, yes. [21:30] normloman: no, it does not. [21:30] carandraug: it does not hight light my name in xhcat when people are talking to me i see no proxy or socks 5 support [21:31] normloman: when you're setting your --prefix, you're telling the compilation software where to put the files [21:31] I see [21:31] The scrolling on my Synaptics touchpad stopped working. [21:31] Wh00mp It will when it is setup correctly for your taste.. Including the user list on the right side [21:31] I dont think that fixes my problem then. But now I know what it means.

[21:54] !minimal [21:54] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD).

I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [22:29] joh6nn: added alsa/oss directly into the kernel and changed my processor make. I'm an avid gentoo user, so I'm fairly familiar with kernel config [22:29] cine vorbeste romaneste pe aici doamnelor si domnilor ? [22:29] Hamled|Erp: probably not; as far as i know, the livecds don't come with an ssh server installed [22:29] Hi all! Can anyone tell me WHY OH EARTH apt-get build-dep doesn't work? http://rafb.net/p/oxD8vr72.html [22:29] Hamled|Erp: you tried activating ssh? [22:29] Hamled|Erp: I bet oyu that will work [22:30] jam3s2002: i'm assuming there were no obvious errors during the compile? [22:30] Gillpy: how can I do no desktop env? [22:30] joh6nn: none to speak of [22:30] Hamled|Erp: no, you would have to install the ssh daemon. [22:30] danhs, well the issue is that I can't access the computer except over the network (no monitor keyboard or mouse to use with the box) [22:30] brb [22:30] jam3s2002: what kind of errors are you getting now when X fails? [22:30] danhs: I dont think it is that simple to set up. Myself, I dont start the X server on boot and I have exec compiz in .xinitrc [22:30] Hamled|Erp: ouch....that's pretty tricky..... [22:30] joh6nn: something about nvidia. let me retry to get something specific [22:30] are there any tutorials on adding a package into a livecd? [22:31] Gillpy: is there a simple way I can work myself out of this mess other than going to my backups? [22:31] Hamled|Erp: yep, gimme a sec to dig it up [22:31] screw it I'll buy another one [22:31] joh6nn, thanks [22:31] Help... please :) gutsy->hardy upgrade broke my pureftpd. Anonymous users no longer work [22:31] Hamled|Erp: http://klikit.pbwiki.com/Remastersys [22:31] mcw: have you searched the ubuntu forums? I found at leat 5 threads on the logitec quickcam [22:31] software for doing just that [22:31] joh6nn: failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module! [22:31] yes no solution so far [22:31] danhs: Have you made any permanent changes? can't you just restart X ? [22:31] I'm having trouble connecting to an server via Gnome's SSH transport. I can login using ssh me@mybox.com just fine, but when I try to use Gnome, it says "ssh quit unexpectedly" or something. How can I find out what the error was and a way to fix it? === Admln is now known as root [22:32] Gillpy: no. made no permanent changes. just did metacity --replace. [22:32] I want an answer not a forum [22:32] RyanPrior: start the gnome client from a termnial [22:32] joh6nn, awesome, thanks [22:32] Gillpy: now when I restart machine though, it goes into metacity adn can't get into compiz [22:32] Hello guys. [22:32] a solution === root is now known as Guest51920 [22:32] Gillpy: I have no idea why [22:32] I have a couple of questions before i install ubuntu. [22:32] I'm actually rather confused [22:32] that should give you more info [22:32] mcw: and I want a new car and a girlfriend === Zopiac is now known as Zopiac|AFK [22:32] forums take too long [22:32] me too === Guest51920 is now known as Admln [22:32] Hamled|Erp: no problem. good luck with it. ;) [22:32] dudeeee34: shoot [22:32] joh6nn: How can I do that? [22:33] RyanPrior: are you familiar with the console/terminal at all? [22:33] My questions are. How do i mount the ubuntu installation to my windows harddrive. [22:33] mcw: boo hoo. There are tons of answers on the forums - do some digging and post if you can't find help. [22:33] would synaptics package manager have the drivers??? [22:33] I want my ubuntu to have access to all my window drivers. [22:33] joh6nn: Yes, but I don't know which command to use to launch an SSH session over Nautilus. [22:33] jam3s2002: do you have an nvidia card? or is the error all the more interesting for your lack of said hardware? [22:34] don't be rude now [22:34] How do I do that? [22:34] danhs: sorry I can't really help you. I dont use gnome or metacity or compiz. [22:34] joh6nn: 7800 GS OC [22:34] this is where a person is supposed to find help [22:34] dudeeee34, just install it. You'll have acess [22:34] dudeeee34: ntfs-config [22:34] Hi! does totem need the fluendo mpeg demuxer to provide dvb-t? [22:34] I want my ubuntu to have access to all my window drivers like my broadcom driver. === Zopiac|AFK is now known as Zopiac [22:34] were not all programmers and techno gods [22:34] Gillpy: thanks for the help anyway [22:35] RyanPrior: i'm actually mostly a KDE guy, but here with a generic *buntu question. i'm guessing that if you right click on the icon you usually use to luanch the nautilus ssh session, you'll be able to find the command it's running under "properties" or something similar [22:35] Ok next question is. I set up a unacolated partion on my harddrive for ubuntu. Now what do i do [22:35] RyanPrior: copy and paste that into the terminal, and it should give you more information [22:35] joh6nn: whenever I set the system up last night, I just let the package manager install the drivers, and everything worked until after I compiled the kernel today (to add x-fi support... don't even ask) [22:35] dudeeee34: it doesn't work like that. the only reason it will use the broadcom driver is because the firmware was reverse engineered [22:35] Can I completely uninstall Pulse audio ??? [22:35] back. Ok, is twinview supposed to display as one large screen? [22:35] joh6nn: Unfortunately, right-clicking it just attempts to launch the session. :-) [22:35] because my panel is stuck in the middle of the screen between both monitors [22:35] dudeeee34, you'll have access to all files in Windows but windows drives are of no use to Linux. However, you can use ndiswrapper to use some windows drives of wireless cards in Linux [22:36] mad_max02: More importantly, why would you want to? [22:36] My old wubi installation made my broadcom work. Then i tried it with a partioned installation but the driver did not work. Why is that? [22:36] I had wubi 8.04. [22:37] doesn't wubi install inside windows? [22:37] Yes, [22:37] Sorry. [22:37] If all I needed was a forum why would I be on a chat to find an answer duh [22:37] jam3s2002: i've never compiled a kernel, myself, but it occurs to me that the nvidia driver is a binary blob; what are the chances it didn't get linked in properly? [22:37] Where's the French channel, please ? [22:37] But wubi dosent work for GOS. Which is the os im installing. [22:37] erichj: In a matter of speaking. Once installed, Ubuntu no longer requires Windows to run. [22:37] !fr | Almtesh [22:37] Almtesh: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr [22:37] !fr [22:37] gOS is another ubuntu modification. === Admln is now known as Admin- [22:38] joh6nn: pretty high. how do I like external modules back into the kernel? in gentoo, its modules-rebuild [22:38] link* [22:38] erichj: RyanPrior: not the case with wubi; wubi actually installs Ubuntu inside windows [22:38] RyanPrior, because I dont use it and it gives me problems [22:38] Jack_Sparrow tried to add irqpoll to the menu.lst, same error 21 message [22:38] RyanPrior, so do you know can I remove it ? [22:38] jam3s2002: not quite sure off the top of my head [22:38] lemme see if i can figure it out [22:38] thanks, you're a savior [22:38] mad_max02: Most Ubuntu programs are configured to use PulseAudio by default. [22:39] mad_max02: So, you probably do use it. [22:39] dudeeee34, maybe the modifications they made at gOS removed the support for your card [22:39] besides theres no answer in the forum ,just another person with the exact problem that has posted that they had the same problem [22:39] No i never tried gOS. [22:39] This is going to be my first time. [22:39] Right now. [22:39] Has anyone had problems with 8.04 making CD/DVD burners automatically close the tray when opened? [22:39] jam3s2002: looks like modprobe will do it for the current session [22:39] dudeeee34: what broadcom chipset are you using? [22:39] anyone? [22:39] RyanPrior, this is one of the stupid situations where I have to explain it to you that I DONT use pusle audio and that ALL of the programs I use are using alsa [22:39] no luck so far on how to do it permanently [22:40] when i maximize windows it goes between both screens [22:40] joh6nn: k, that's a start [22:40] B4 something like that' [22:40] it is like b34xx [22:40] how can i get twinview to understand it has 2 monitors? [22:40] mad_max02: Alright. In that case, you ought to be able to uninstall the pulse audio package using apt-get or Synaptic. [22:40] can somebody help me with glib please? [22:40] dudeeee34: so do a sudo apt-get install b43-wcutter [22:40] well [22:41] !ask | Dark_Lord [22:41] Dark_Lord: 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. :-) [22:41] ok [22:41] b43-fwcutter [22:41] anyone know if there's a way to change apt.conf settings based on what network you're connected to? [22:41] well the problem is that synaptics wants to remove ubuntu-desktop when I try to remove PA [22:41] mad_max02: ubuntu-desktop is just a meta-file. doesn't matter if it gets removed [22:41] So is gOS any good? [22:42] !usb>ScheissDrogen [22:42] ScheissDrogen, please see my private message [22:42] I heard it was just like mac osx so i wantedit. to try [22:42] dudeeee34: it's linux for the facebook generation. [22:42] dudeeee34: gOS is decent, but it's just a different interface to Ubuntu. [22:42] Slade: How can i publish an HTML document i have created using text editor onto the web? [22:42] later! [22:42] hi guys. for compiz fusion... whats the "super" button? [22:42] beam: Find some web space - I suggest nearlyfreespeech.net [22:42] erichj, are you sure ?? when I removed evolution with that ubuntu-desktop it screwed up my whole desktop [22:43] Im egarly awaiting ubuntu 8.10 i heard it was going to be the biggest ubuntu upgrade ever. [22:43] thurston: usually your windows key [22:43] oh, thank you erichj [22:43] mad_max02: You can safely remove ubuntu-desktop [22:43] beam: Or, if you've got a static IP and a decent box, you can host it yourself with Apache. [22:43] beam: you can install apache in your computer. Then your computer will work just as a server [22:43] mad_max02: positive. it only needs to be there when you are doing a dist-upgrade [22:44] I was trying to install Xchat 2.8.6. It informed me that my GLiB is not correctly "installed". I downloaded the 2.14.5 version tar.bz2 files and compiled it. Now I am getting another error [22:44] Well my gOS is burning. Please wish me luck with wifi. [22:44] RyanPrior carandraug: That exactly what i want [22:44] beam, ftp it up to the server [22:44] anyone know a good intro to python programming? [22:44] Dark_Lord: are you moving to ubuntu from a different distro? [22:44] squarebracket: dive into python [22:44] whats that? [22:44] I heard fedora was pretty decent os. [22:44] by mark pilgrim [22:44] sry i am a newbie [22:44] But ubuntu is the best. [22:45] joh6nn: modprobe didn't quite fix it. is there anyway to reinstall all of my binaries? [22:45] or better yet, just reconfigure X... wait, I've got an idea [22:45] Dark_Lord: i was wondering why you'd compiled from source, and i thought maybe you were familiar with a different version of linux [22:45] dudeeee34: Fedora tends to be a little more cutting-edge, but the community isn't as big as Ubuntu's. [22:45] erichj, thanks :) [22:45] what does the 'make' command in ubuntu do ? [22:45] beam: What is exactly what you want? [22:45] beam: then just install apache. It's not that hard to work with [22:45] carandraug: So i can publish my webiste using Apache for free? Dont i need to buy a domain name or something first? [22:45] deepak: man make [22:46] deepak: It could do anything. Usually, it initiates a step in the process to build software from source. [22:46] unable to unmount volume, how do i unmount a portable hdd? [22:46] joh6nn: It looked at the web and it asked me to compile it [22:46] Dark_Lord: in general, ubuntu doesn't want you to compile things from source; you'll usually be better off using apt-get or one of the gui package managers to install the software [22:46] beam, you can no-ip.org for free [22:46] Fedora comes with a better default theme and artwork [22:46] jam3s2002: all of your binaries? like, the entire install? [22:46] jon6nn: is there anyway to restore it back? [22:46] joh6nn: I managed to fix my issue by commenting out the nvidia line in xorg.conf. I'll fix that later, haha [22:46] for example, www.beam.no-ip.org would direct to your computer. If you want something like www.beam.com will you have to pay [22:46] carandraug: So i can get those from Apache? [22:47] jam3s2002: ha! well, whatever gets it limping along for now, huh? [22:47] joh6nn: I use gentoo, my systems are always broken XD [22:47] carandraug: I understand [22:47] anyways, back to xchat while I fix my ubuntu nvidia job [22:47] what is the next release after hardy -- the one in development [22:47] carandraug: So what does Apache exactly do? [22:48] jam3s2002: Gentoo - you have two broken cows. You work on them for a few weeks, and they are still broken, but now they have laser beams. [22:48] intrepid ibex - 8.10 [22:48] bbs: Intrepid Ibex [22:48] Erm, at the moment I have two HDD's, one with Windows on and one with Linux on, I installed both seperately (without the 'knowledge' of the other drive) so they both work on two independent boot loaders (Windows own and Grub) however I want to change it so I can load my Windows drive using Grub as it's getting to be an absolute pain switching the cables when I want to boot into a certain drive, how can I go about this?

Is "disk 21" an answer? [23:51] Slart: nah, the 'sd' one is quite common [23:51] alistair: the guide you are following is wrong [23:51] carandraug: thats what its called [23:52] baegle: hrm, could you please pastebin it as well?

[23:53] Thank you kindly, that was the answer! [23:53] baegle: is this log from when the cd drives were working or not? [23:53] no worries [23:53] Slart: not [23:53] gnea i know [23:53] baegle: ah, that's actually disk [23:53] um, can someone tell me how to set video size (using lavc) in mencoder? [23:53] where can i find a list of compatible external cd drives? (i've got one in mind) [23:54] baegle: try using the eject command on each and see what happens... like this: eject /dev/sg1, eject /dev/sg2 .. [23:54] crdlb, is fusion a chat for this type of thing I am talking about? === jackzhou is now known as cybersach [23:54] alistair: yes [23:54] Gnea: eject: unable to open on each [23:54] Can someone help with a lost root password? [23:54] crdlb, OK wilco. [23:54] **** I changed my password a while ago and now evolution is annoying me by requesting a password for accessing the keyring. I looked at System/Preferences/Encryption and Keyrings but I don't see where I can change the pw - any ideas ? [23:55] JoeBanks: reboot, select recovery mode, use "passwd" [23:55] JoeBanks, sure. Make sudo passwd and enter the new root password [23:55] JoeBanks: if you have access to the machien put the ubuntu live cd in and boot with it [23:55] carandraug: no its not it. Nevermind. Its ok. Thank You though [23:55] !root | JoeBanks [23:55] JoeBanks: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:55] RequinB4: http://www.linuxcompatible.org/compatibility.html [23:55] How do I get "recovery mode"? [23:55] JoeBanks: unless you really mean the root password.. then you can use sudo [23:55] the system passwd IS already changed - It's just that evolution complains when accessing the keyring ! [23:55] JoeBanks: why do you need the root password? [23:56] kdesudo-kde4 kdebase-runtime-bin-kde4 kdebase-bin-kde3 huuhhhmm ??? [23:56] JoeBanks: if you have sudo rights you don't need recovery mode [23:56] anyone have experience with remastersys? [23:56] beam, that program is in the repositories. Use the synaptic package manager and you'll find it there [23:56] Hey dudes. Does anybody know if I can specific directories in my apache configs? e.g. www.site.com to one directory and somehow have www.site.com/forums/ to another? [23:56] I forgot the root password, and my son wants to install stuff, and the hard drive is aparently full. [23:56] JoeBanks: when you boot the computer you get a menu.. there's two options for each kernel version, one normal and one for recovery [23:56] Guiri: Yes, but ask in #apache [23:56] carandraug: yes i will. Thanks [23:56] Guiri: yes you can. using virtual domains. Google for that [23:56] I'm using 7.0.4. [23:56] JoeBanks: if you are a sudo user, it's usually the password you log in with. [23:56] ty baegle & webtoe === mike is now known as Guest22669 [23:57] He can't login until the hard drive gets cleaned up. [23:57] ScheissDrogen: if you are installing from the main repo kde4 is going to be the worst experience ever for you [23:57] Can anyone here help me with getting my "Shutdown" and "Restart" buttons back? They disappeared... [23:57] erchj_: That one's like the other ones i saw - no catgory for external DVD/CD drives [23:58] anyone with telepathy/empathy experience here? the IM client... [23:58] JoeBanks: recovery mode is on the grub menu, second option. Try 'apt-get autoclean' to gain some space when you're booted there [23:58] No extra menu comes up when I start the machine. [23:58] baegle: you should do a system upgrade and try the new kernel === Guest22669 is now known as Wally_Dog [23:58] Guest22669: right click the grey gnome panel, select "+Add to panel".. find the buttons there and add them [23:58] does anyone know how to set video size in mencoder? [23:58] JoeBanks: you may have to hit Esc tosee it [23:58] I don't get a grub menu. [23:58] JoeBanks: Are you savvy enough to pull out a live CD, mount the harddrive and delete files that you don't need? [23:58] OK - I'll try that. BRB. [23:58] cybersach: look for mencoder's irc channel. They'll be more knowledgable [23:58] Gnea: I'm at the latest since yesterday [23:58] isn't the grub menu enabled by default? [23:59] cybersach: or on their website/man page as its in there and a common thing to do [23:59] shonen: kind of. It's been a while since I've been "intimate" with Linux. [23:59]  erichj_: maybe if its stable gets in upgrade anyway, i don't really have need for it [23:59] Let me try the grub menu first...brb [23:59] JoeBanks: Well that is worst case scenario haha [23:59] Slart, not anymore. You have to press Esc but you can change it in menu.lst [23:59] hello, can you help me guys? I can't run apt-get upgrade, it shows this: http://rafb.net/p/Q5oPKy50.html [23:59] I'm looking for a hardware compatibility list for external optical drives
