[00:00] So how much space should I give to each partition and where should I mount them? [00:00] Randocal, bugs.launchpad.net Report a bug [00:00] Totakeke: well, the general old rule is one partion is swap. it's your amt of ram * 2 [00:00] I right clicked it, hit mount, now I see "disk" in the termanal when I run ls /media [00:00] i'll give that a try if synaptic ever finishes configuring the updates that were 'critical' [00:00] but still cant write to it [00:00] Totakeke, about 10g for /, everything else for /home [00:00] so if you have 2 gb ram, make a 4gb swap partition. then use the rest as / ext3 [00:00] or do what usser said [00:01] Slade, Totakeke imho 4gb swap is an overkill [00:01] kurze frage.. wie kann ihc mein Home-folder auf dem Desktop anzeigen lassen? kann es nicht linken.. [00:01] Sorlag: have you found it? I'm looking there but I can't see it [00:01] I'm using NetworkManager Applet to manage my network connections; on boot my computer insists on connecting to a neighbor's wireless network [that it had previously connected to] over my own [my ssid is not broadcast], is there a way to fix this and tell it to never connect to the neighbor's without explicitly being told to and to default attempt mine? [00:01] Totakeke, if u have more than 2gb of RAM make swap 2gb [00:01] usser: that was the old rule back in the day when most systems had 64, 128, 256, or 512 mb ram [00:01] carandraug, no i didnt [00:02] err sorry for german [00:02] So should I format it to something different from Windows first, such as FAT before installing Linux? (I think I saw something somewhere to do that) [00:02] tonsofpcs, neighbours basically mean free bandwidth, so there is no option for turning 'neighbourleech' off. this is a feature not a bug. [00:02] andax: not really when neighbor's bandwidth doesn't touch my LAN [00:02] caveman26, nice so on the terminal type "sudo chown `whoami`:`whoami` -R /media/disk [00:03] someone can help me to have my toolbar up? [00:03] will someone look at this pastebin? http://paste.ubuntu.com/39232/ I am getting this error when I try to print from a remote system via http cups server. Please help. [00:03] Totakeke, no need. when it comes to repartitioning select manual delete whatever partiotions there that u dont need, and create new ones [00:03] Sorlag: I've found it. Select apps and under that nautilus and desktop. [00:04] Okay, thanks for the help. But what if it isn't an installation problem, but because I don't have any option to boot from a USB drive in BIOS? (And where should I install the boot loader thing?) [00:04] hi [00:04] uoaphys, just seen this one myself today [00:04] carandraug great! thank you!!!! [00:05] ty.. it works [00:05] caveman26, no problem [00:05] kaffeine programing ı click digital tv error " live integral tv work only xine" [00:05] my god... 9GB tranfer over USB... thats gonna take a long time [00:06] So should I reformat from Windows to something besides NTFS or doesn't it matter? [00:06] u have to be sure ur bios is booting with ur cd or dvd [00:06] tonsofpcs: right click the netmanager applet, select edit wlan networks, then make sure to set a wrong key for the network you don't want to connect to, and set a good one for your own network. [00:06] best is ext3 [00:06] andax: there is no 'edit wlan networks' selection [00:06] hi, I just upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04, I try to enable nvidia binary drivers for my nv 8800, upon restarting Ubuntu says its in "low graphics mode" and I have to select vga or else it hangs, what can I try? dpkg -l |grep nvidia http://rafb.net/p/VirmMy62.html [00:06] whats better, ext3 or reiserfs? [00:07] what is that applet [00:07] usser any way to force permissions to fix it? [00:07] this is getting way crazy [00:07] its a huge regression for hp printing on linux [00:07] i even didnt installed it and it caused me troubles [00:07] I can format to either NTFS or FAT32 (from within Windows) Should I format it to FAT32 before installing Linux? [00:07] and the errors it throws are crap like media jam, and "other" and crap like that [00:07] caveman26, that depends on the way u use the filesystem, reiser performs better when theres a lot of small files scattered all over [00:07] it seems that fat32 is a lot of problems [00:07] Totakeke: you don't need to format a partition before starting the installer, just having unallocated space is fine [00:08] Alright. [00:08] uoaphys, i couldnt figure it out myself [00:08] If I have an Intel Core2 Duo with 4 gigs of memory, is there any reason I should use x86 over the 64 bit version of Ubuntu? [00:08] and it will do it [00:08] ubiquity will do it installing ur kubuntu === tok is now known as LinTok [00:08] Vastlee, only if u're happy with 3 gigs out of 4 being utilized [00:09] but you have to note how u will want to have ur hd partionned [00:09] well its motly music on that drive.. it was reisefs, then I formatted it to ext3... I have used both with no problems, just wanted to know if one had any advantages over the other..I only chose ext3 cuz thats what my system disk is [00:09] I can't seem to get this operating system to boot. The installation goes fine, but no matter what I do in Bios the drive simply won't boot. [00:09] usser, when do you get the error? I get it when priting remotely from another system on my network. Then once it happens, it crashes either cupsd or the print driver, and you must unplug and replug the printer to work again. [00:09] tonsofpcs, then set the access point of the network card upon boot. edit the file '/etc/rc.local' as root, type the following: line1: '#!/bin/bash' line2: 'iwconfig wlan0 essid 'i-want-to-connect-here' - without the quotes of course. [00:09] When I log in with the ac power connected, my battery meter shows up perfect, when I log in with the ac power disconnected, it says that it's disconnected but doesn't give me any % or anything. acpi -b doesn't show anything either [00:10] i figured out how to open awindows power point, it's possible [00:10] uoaphys, i get it when adding a printer, on the select model step, it just freezes at this point and thats what the error log says [00:10] tonsofpcs, after saving the file do a chmod +x /etc/rc.local to make it executable.. upon reboot it will the AP named i-wanna-connect-here first [00:11] So how do I know whether it's a problem with my BIOS not having an option to boot from USB drives or from it not installing right? Actually, I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't install correctly. The CD has no errors and the hash matches completely. What could be wrong except that my BIOS won't allot me to boot from a flash drive? [00:11] andax: will try, thanks [00:11] <^Ocean^> Okay so im running an NVIDIA card with dual-display, When i maximise any window, more annoying A Video it displays across both screens, is there any way too full screen a video on just one Screen? [00:11] it wouldnt open through my email, so i saved it to the desktop, then open it in open office, just letting everyone know, incase they have the same problem....:) [00:12] ^Ocean^: I would like to know that too :) I always have to disable one display to watch things fullscreen [00:12] !wubi | lisa_ [00:12] lisa_, please see my private message [00:12] <^Ocean^> roger, I know there is a way, i just reinstalled recently and for got the switch in the X config gile [00:12] <^Ocean^> file rather [00:12] Is there any way to install Ubuntu directly from the hard drive? [00:13] i boot from cd, select language, select install ubuntu, sits at please wait loading.... i see no cd activity or hdd activity any clues? [00:13] Vastlee: netinstall [00:13] Vastlee: are you using windows right now? [00:13] deeperror: Did you run the check CD utility to see if there are defects? [00:13] andax: but I would prefer if the network tool would figure it out itself, since i may walk into the area and not boot in the area, etc. [00:13] ^Ocean^: ah, I just upgraded and now ubuntu won't recognise my video drivers for my 8800 :( [00:13] tonsofpcs, the file /etc/rc.local is just a script that's executed on every boot automagically. So what you're doing is configuring the card here manually using the iwconfig utility to log on to your home network and don't use the built-in neighbourleech feature. [00:13] deeperror: sometimes burning the CD at a too quick speed can make it not load properly. [00:14] I'm using windows on this machine, the machine next to me is the one I'm trying to install Ubunto on to. [00:14] Totakeke, going to do that now...i've used 2 cd's that have been used to install on other systems so it leads me to believe its a system issue [00:14] <^Ocean^> roger, You need to install the linux restricted drivers for Nvidia cards too work nicely [00:14] andax: right, i know what it is ;) [00:14] i've also tried 2 cdroms [00:14] ^Ocean^: I selected them and it said restart then it goes into "low graphics mode" and I have to select vga or it hangs [00:14] Totakeke, is there a suggested burn speed? [00:14] Where should I install the boot loader? If my flash drive's named /sdd and I can choose to install it on /sdd or /sdd1, on which one should I put it? [00:14] I did mine at 16X, I assumed that was low enough. [00:14] Vastlee: I don't believe so, just slowly. [00:15] <^Ocean^> roger, when in dobut u can download them off the nvidia website and install that way :) [00:15] I used infra recorder to burn it and I burned it at 1x speed. Of course I'm still having problems but it installed just fine. [00:15] ^Ocean^: I guess so, it'd be nice for it to just work... [00:15] does Wubi modify my MBR or partition tables? [00:15] deeperror, have you checked the iso md5sum before burning the image ? [00:15] lisa_: no [00:15] lisa_, not, it only changes the boot.ini [00:15] joakim, i'm checking for defects now [00:16] tonsofpcs: try system/administration/network in the gnome menu, there you can define locations like 'home' or 'inthecar' :) so you can switch between profiles. [00:16] <^Ocean^> Okay For a dual-display is there any way too run dual display but still treat each window Seperate so prorgams dont center between 2 displays ? === root is now known as Guest71053 [00:16] again it says please wait [00:16] :p [00:16] Does anyone have a solution to the SLLLOOOWWW wireless internet on Ubuntu? [00:16] Where should I install the boot loader? If my flash drive's named /sdd and I can choose to install it on /sdd or /sdd1, on which one should I put it? [00:16] andax: yea, i tried that a week or so ago, unfortunately it resets to 'roaming' on reboot [00:16] Guest71053, mine is fine not the os [00:16] joaopinto, the boot.ini? [00:16] christ .. how do i turn off the smilies in pidgon [00:16] <^Ocean^> Basicaly running a Seperate X Display but still being able to drag and drop windows accross the displays ? [00:16] Totakeke, it probably doesn't matter? [00:16] could anyone help me install wine? [00:16] lisa_, yes, the file listing the boot devices for Windows [00:17] evild_, applications - add/remove [00:17] Guest71053: at a terminal, try running: sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M [00:17] lisa_, it will just add a new entry to boot from wubi, it will not affect your windows in any way [00:17] Hi I am having bluetooth problems... I have this Plantronics stereo bluetooth headset (and handsfree) after I pair pc-audio mic device and I try to connet I get this error.... Couldn't display "obex://[00:19:7F:9A:4C:F7]/". Error: Host down [00:17] Please select another viewer and try again.

Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [00:17] tonsofpcs, does the other network have any encryption enabled? ( the network you're connected automatically but dont want to ) [00:18] joaopinto, are you 100% sure it wont alter my MBR or partiton tables? [00:18] andax: no [00:18] deeperror: thanks it's installing [00:18] if it did, i'd just remove the key from wherever it hides [00:18] very good [00:18] deeperror: ok, now thats it's installed where do i find it at? [00:18] applications - wine [00:18] it isnt under the applications menu [00:18] gnome is completely frozen [00:18] Hi I am having bluetooth problems... I have this Plantronics stereo bluetooth headset (and handsfree) after I pair pc-audio mic device and I try to connet I get this error.... Couldn't display "obex://[00:19:7F:9A:4C:F7]/". Error: Host down Please Try again. ANY IDEA? [00:19] I guess I'll just try to install it again on the blank formatted drive and report back if there's any kind of problem. Thanks for the help. [00:19] lisa_, I am 99% sure :P [00:19] evild_: once you've installed wine, it means you can now run .msi and .exe files [00:19] When I log in with the ac power connected, my battery meter shows up perfect, when I log in with the ac power disconnected, it says that it's disconnected but doesn't give me any % or anything. acpi -b doesn't show anything either [00:19] any ideas? [00:20] well, wish me luck. Im going to remove my home directory since i copied it to another drive, and mount the other drive at /home [00:20] on 8.04 gnome is completely frozen and windows are grey and black and white and the panals are completely greyed out, not even any time. my mouse works but nothing happend with anything, nothing is suing my cpu and memory usage is normal [00:20] edeeperror: do you know how i would get it on the applications menu? [00:20] Can someone tell me which is better Vmware Server or virtualbox [00:20] -e [00:20] joaopinto, good safe answer :) [00:20] evild_: the only thing that should be on the applications menu is programs you install by runniing windows programs [00:20] Slade, how did you copy it? [00:20] lisa_, I am 100% sure now, https://answers.launchpad.net/lubi/+question/10711 [00:20] roger: there isnt anything that says wine on the applications menu [00:21] evild_: yes, that's correct [00:21] evild_: install a windows program and check again [00:21] tonsofpcs, the network manager applet should remember your connection settings once you have connected to your home network. If it doesn't I can only suggest you manually configuring the initial values like essid and key by editing /etc/rc.local, no other idea. [00:21] roger: like internet explorer or something? [00:21] joaopinto, thanks [00:21] carandraug: cp -rf /home/myhome/.* /backup/myhome/ [00:21] how do i set my own keyboard shortcuts in gnome?? [00:21] evild_: wine is just a special compatibility program which lets you automagically run windows programs [00:21] andax: any clue where it stores those settings, maybe i can make it forget that it ever connected to neighborsnetwork ? [00:21] shartke: VBox is much better - it can run vmware images [00:21] Slade: I had problems with that before. I had to logout from Gnome and copy it a safe command from a Virtual console to work properly. I did it with Gnome running and had lots of problems [00:22] !k9copy [00:22] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [00:22] Hi, I need the "linux-image-2.6.24-20-generic" package, but it's not listed in synaptic packet manager. Why is that?/How can I get it? [00:22] Thanks Mtecknology that was my next question :D [00:22] evild_: you can just double click on windows programs from nautilus and they'll be run through wine transparently [00:22] carandraug: what kind of problems? [00:22] roger: sorry im a newb to linux. nautilus? [00:22] evild_: the file manager [00:22] I found this though: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/amd64/linux-image-2.6.24-20-generic/2.6.24-20.38 , but can someone tell me if thats an development version of a bugged one? [00:22] roger: my gnome is completely pfrozen [00:23] joaopinto, it says, 'Neither Wubi nor Lubi will not overwrite your MBR, it will only add another entry to the existing bootloader.". sO IS this easy to reverse? [00:23] i would love to take a screenshot but can't [00:23] zz, if you want to restart X you can press control alt backspace and it'll come up fresh, not much you can do about anything that's running [00:23] Slade: gnome wouldn't load. Can't remember exactly the problems I had but I still have the command I used to safe copy [00:23] hi everyone, i just installed ubuntu on a new sony vaio fw and everything is working perfectly except for the wireless adapter. it's a marvell atheros [00:24] it's not being detected [00:24] roger but then i cant login, i can login but i get a back screen with a little grey box with nothing in it [00:24] ubuntu is alright except for the wireless [00:24] carandraug: send it :) [00:24] lisa_, yes, like I said, it's a new entry in your boot.ini file [00:24] itś so slow [00:24] shola_ which sony model do you have [00:24] lisa_, you can open your boot.ini with a text editor [00:24] Guest71053: so did you try what I told you? [00:24] yes [00:24] Guest71053: what did it say? [00:24] its a sony vaio vgn-fw140d [00:24] I been trying to install ndiswrapper [00:24] Slade: rsync -acvSHx --exclude lost+found /home/ /where_you _want_to_backup [00:24] joaopinto, ok thats good to know as I dont want anything to alter my MBR etc as I have a HP Laptop that relies on its own MBR [00:25] Guest71053: I didn't say anything about ndiswrapper [00:25] purchased in canada...i believe the model numbers are different in other parts of the world [00:25] it didnt say anything [00:25] it changed the bit rate [00:25] but itś still slow [00:25] carandraug: well i actually just did a mv -fv to back it up [00:25] lisa_, it will not touch the mbr, the installation will be self contained on the windows partition [00:25] how do i set my default email client? [00:25] !bitchx | derander [00:25] derander: 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 [00:25] Guest71053: hmm, ok, some wireless cards default to slow under Ubuntu and that command resets it to full speed [00:25] and then copied to the other drive [00:25] so far, it's ok [00:25] Slade: logout first. Go to a virtual console (Ctrl + Alt + F2 for example) and type that in [00:25] I have tried disabling ipv6 [00:25] joaopinto, so it creates a file, like vbox does? [00:25] roger: can I run my already installed windows programs (on windows xp partition) with wine? [00:25] lisa_, yes, but it does real hw detection, unlike vbox [00:26] and you need to boot from it, is not something you can run from windows [00:26] joaopinto, what does "real hw detection" mean? [00:26] evild_: yes but that may cause you problems and you will not be supported. you need to install each program from scratch === bascule is now known as [-Home-] [00:26] Is there a way to apt-get bitchx on hardy? I'm not seeing it in the repos. [00:26] Why would gnome keep locking up and then i can't log back in, after i login i get a blackscreen with a little grey box in the corner, looks like a dialog but says nothing [00:26] itś still showing up as 18mb/s though [00:26] Slade: I think that kind of moving can break some links. I think that was the problem. [00:26] Im right on top of the router [00:26] lisa_, with virtualbox linux does not detect your real hw, instead it detects the vbox emulated hw, with wubi,, it will detectd your real hw [00:26] joaopinto, so is that safer to do it that way than running ubuntu from vbox? I use ubuntu access my bank websites. Safer than vbox? [00:26] roger: ok, ill try to install winRAR for a test run === [-Home-] is now known as bascule [00:27] 7-Zip > All [00:27] lisa_, no, running from vbox is just as safer as doing it from a windows system [00:27] wubi is safer, because there is no windows running :) [00:27] if only I can get ndiswrapper to work [00:27] evild_: ok, winrar should work fairly well, there are two resources you can use http://forum.winehq.org - the official Wine forum and http://appdb.winehq.org the application compatibility database [00:27] tonsofpcs, type 'nm-editor' in a terminal and remove the ones you dont need, don't know about the config file sorry [00:28] Guest71053: what device do you have? [00:28] does anyone know where I can find AR5212 driver? [00:28] how do I enable direct rendering ? [00:28] I have the generic AR5212 [00:28] atheros [00:28] joaopinto, i mean... is it safer using Wubi than vbox, to bypass any potential Vista sniffers, virus, spyware, keyloggers etc? [00:28] shola_ My girlfriend has a similar laptop that I put ubuntu on. I thought she had an Atheros. I found a good guide a while back on how to get it to work.. I am trying to look for it [00:28] Itś one of the reason why I picked it when I bought the laptop [00:28] roger: it dosent seem to be saving the file to my desktop [00:28] lisa_, yes it is, safer than that, just using a live cd :P [00:28] shartke, thanks a lot, anything is appreciated [00:28] Guest71053: well why not just use madwifi? [00:28] I thought atheros would be more compatible instead of something like intel N [00:28] I am using madwifi [00:29] joaopinto, so using Wubi is like livecd? I cant save and configure ubuntu the way I like it? [00:29] !xgl [00:29] itś very slow [00:29] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [00:29] hm. [00:29] thanks andax :) [00:29] There is a bug report out on the newest atheros on the ubuntu forums [00:29] Guest71053, my atheros wifi is just working fine with the restricted drivers provided by ubuntu [00:29] hi [00:29] !directrendering [00:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about directrendering [00:29] evild_: when you download winrar from the website, you should have the option to run it or save it... you could just run it [00:29] !direct rendering [00:29] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:29] Guest71053: cuz i have an AR242x, w/ madwifi, and i connect at 52mb no prob. [00:29] downloading only at 400kb/s [00:29] andax: hmm, not found... [00:29] lisa_, no, it's not, changes are saved on wubi, a livecd is safer for that reason, it's static [00:29] I am wondering how can I enable quicktime support for rhythmbox? [00:29] roger: i only have the option to save it [00:29] usually i get 5000kb connection [00:29] and i click that [00:29] but it is nowhere [00:29] why does gnome decide to lock up when nothing is pegging cpu and memory is normal, killing X does nothing but take me back to login where that locks up as well. i have disabled compiz but problem persists [00:30] carandraug: ok, well i should have listened to you the first time [00:30] I checked that I can view quicktime with mplayer, but I want to watch screencasts directly in rhythmbox. [00:30] why dont you go to speedtest.net and check it? [00:30] evild_: hmm, go into the download manager in firefox (assuming you're using firefox) right click on it and check to see where it was saved [00:30] tonsofpcs, nm-editor not found (as a command) or the network you want to disable? [00:30] joaopinto, so Wubi allows me to run ubuntu without installing Grub, and then it also allows me to edit and change Ubuntu how I like it? it saves all changes into a single file on my Vista hard drive? [00:30] I get a "invalid function name:SelectFiles" error when trying to upload images to photobucket via FF 3.0b.5 - Ubuntu 8.04. Is there a cure? [00:30] Hi everyone. Does anyone know which program I can use in order to reduce the length of a song. I need to send something by email and it's 5.9MB. I need to reduce it to 5M?????? Thanks [00:30] roger: there is nothing on the list [00:30] The wireless in Windows gets as fast as Ethernet when I am this close to the router [00:30] andax: command [00:30] But if I klick on a .mov file I get "failed" [00:30] DavidCanarias, take out the drummer? [00:30] Slade: I also think there's applications that help you do that kind of stuff [00:30] zz, an hang is not necessary cpu bind, it can be a processed blocked on some resource, like a lock [00:31] i have nm-tool, nm, nmap, nmblookup, nm-applet, nm-vpn-properties [00:31] Lisa? Hi, what is drummer? [00:31] lisa_, yes, that is correct [00:31] tonsofpcs, the command is included in the 'network-manager-gnome' package. [00:31] joaopinto, wow how cool is that :) [00:31] Sorry Lisa I don't know what drummer is???? [00:31] joaopinto: how would i find it? could it be an audio problem? [00:31] evild_: strange... are you comfortable with the commandline? it's easier if you just open a terminal and type: wget http://www.rarlab.com/rar/wrar38b4.exe [00:31] andax: it is installed [00:31] DavidCanarias, sorry it was joke, [00:31] lisa_, wubi was developed mostly to decrease the concerns of partitioning.... [00:31] evild_: then you can type wine wrar38b4.exe [00:31] joaopinto: or usb issue? [00:32] Jajajaja, sorry, it's late so I'm half asleep!!!!!! [00:32] joaopinto, excellent. as I have installing grub which messes with my original MBR [00:32] andax: is it a script maybe? or maybe default put outside-of-path? [00:32] joaopinto, excellent. as I hate installing grub which messes with my original MBR [00:32] Slade: just don't erase anything yet. I think you can restore the links if you keep them in the same partition. I'm not sure though. I've done it a long time ago and never more treaded on that kind of waters [00:32] roger: i can do that. but now i have another problem. firefox isnt letting me download anything [00:32] carandraug: see i did it on a SuSE box that way [00:32] zz, check the .xsession-errors on your home dir [00:33] evild_: ok, want to just check that you can use wine first? [00:33] i did [00:33] evild_: does it run the installer? [00:33] roger: i have the winrar setup in front of me [00:33] evild_: cool :) [00:33] evild_: if you proceed, then you can check on the applications menu for winrar [00:33] Slade: maybe it will work. I'm just saying it didn't work for me. I had to use that command [00:34] Can anyone help me as I need to reduce the MB of a song. The one I have is 5.9 and I need to reduce to 5MB. Any ideas please which program to use? [00:34] evild_: if you run into problems with wine again can I suggest you try the forum at http://forum.winehq.org [00:34] roger: still no wine on applications menu [00:34] shartke: if i can't get the atheros card working, would you be able to recommend a supported usb adapter? [00:34] tonsofpcs, it's a binary file located in /usr/bin that is included in the network-manager-gnome package that should have been installed by default .. [00:34] andax: well, i'm working with feisty... maybe there's been changes? [00:34] DavidCanarias: try using audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net) [00:35] I'm trying to add my wireless printer on a laptop and I used the cups page (localhost:631) to add it on two laptops. On one running intrepid it works. On the other running hardy it does not. On the one running Hardy, I can print a test page from the CUPS setup pages, but I don't show a printer in Firefox when I try and print, and when I go to system->administration->printing, its running "python /usr/share/system-config-printer/ [00:35] tonsofpcs: i have no idea, i only have a hardy installation sorry === _kenshin is now known as kenshin [00:35] evild_: make sure you clicked the option 'add winrar to start menu' in the installer, it's not enabled by default [00:35] carandraug: i think its ok now [00:36] Shola, thanks I will try this. Have you ever used it? [00:36] Slade: ok. Good luck with it [00:37] Why would GStreamer give me so many critical errors? [00:37] next question, in /etc fstab, do u have to put in a UUID ? [00:37] DavidCanarias: i used to use it all the time in windows. make sure you download lame_enc.dll so you can export as .mp3 [00:37] Slade: it's up to you. It's recommended to use the UUID though [00:37] DavidCanarias: it works really well [00:38] is there a way to get rid of gdm and use xdm? [00:38] carandraug: ok, and why in my /etc/fstab there's a # sign infront of my /dev/sda1 ? [00:38] does ubuntu use something else/ [00:38] !pure kde [00:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about pure kde [00:38] Shola, it's already installed in my system so I am installing to try OK. Thanks [00:38] !uuid > slade [00:38] slade, please see my private message [00:39] wtf is wrong with my xsession-erros, it is a MESS [00:39] Slade: Nearly every motherboard has several controllers (onboard SATA, onboard IDE), and due to kernel and udev development updates, /dev/sda may become /dev/sdb on the next reboot- hence the persistent device naming convention of UUID has been adopted for reliability. [00:39] I just upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04, I try to enable nvidia binary drivers for my nv 8800, upon restarting Ubuntu says its in "low graphics mode" and I have to select vga or else it hangs, what can I try? dpkg -l |grep nvidia http://rafb.net/p/VirmMy62.html [00:39] roger: i went back and did it again with that option and it is still not there. [00:39] Slade, maybe you have that common virus that randomly puts # signs to config files.. do you have a virus scanner? [00:39] zz Please dont use the abr. for profane language [00:39] evild_: ok, join #winehq and ask for help explaining it is not showing on applications menu [00:40] Jack_Sparrow: not a problem to change lol sorry [00:40] ok, then how do i tell UUID to mount a specific drive to a certain directory? [00:40] ie /dev/sdb1 /home [00:40] Jack_Sparrow: oh i remember that is in the CoC [00:40] :) [00:41] Jack_Sparrow: where can i start to look for why gnome locks up? [00:41] Slade: using the UUID in the fstab is just the same as using /dev/hda for example. The only difference is that the UUID won't change with a kernel upgrade [00:41] Slade http://paste.ubuntu.com/39239/ is my fstab.. [00:42] Slade, maybe try to remove the # sign if you dare and make it look like: [00:42] how do you set permissions on a directory to allow any member of the group users to modify any file in that directory or it's subdirectories? [00:42] UUID=b3a9e65e-a2db-4c5b-9a56-aaa083021007 /home ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 [00:42] zz Start with a look at sources you have added yourself and things you have compiled that might have messed up your system [00:43] I can't get into Ubuntu. I am even getting an "NTLDR is missing" error. I did "sudo /sbin/fdisk -l" and it says "Disk /dev/sda doesn't contain a valid partition table". How can i fix? [00:43] Jack_Sparrow: haven't compiled anything on this sytem yet, sources as in package sources? [00:43] (i feel like such a newbie right now)... if i manually mount that drive to /home will ubuntu remember that's where it is and will mount it there on next reboot? [00:43] hi [00:43] I want to update my BIOS but dell only provides a windows utility and a dos one. Would freedos work for this use? what about dosbox? [00:43] Jack_Sparrow: I did add media so i can play dvds [00:43] Slade, no it wont, you have to specify the mount point in /etc/fstab [00:43] what's the default path to smb.conf? [00:44] Slade: you'll have to add it to fstab I think [00:44] balz, /etc/samba/smb.conf [00:44] DrX Permissions on a Partition: sudo mkdir /data/$USER && sudo chown $USER:$USER /data/$USER && sudo chmod u+rwx /data/$USER ... sudo mkdir /media/sdb1/$USER && sudo chown $USER:$USER /media/sdb1/$USER && sudo chmod u+rwx /media/sdb1/$USER [00:44] andax, thanks === karin_ is now known as hadi [00:44] zz you added media as a source? [00:45] ok i see it. my eyes were playing tricks on me. i thought the UUID was also commented out [00:45] Jack_Sparrow: hold on let me check lol === hadi is now known as hadijombang [00:45] lufis USe only a dos disk. do NOT use dosbox === hadijombang is now known as hadi [00:45] Slade: also, don't remove the # from # /dev/sda1 It's ok how it is [00:45] Jack_Sparrow: medibuntu [00:45] Jack_Sparrow: Hmmm, so is the FreeDOS livecd ok? [00:45] Slade, wow it wasn't? then you don't have that deadly virus. it's good news :) [00:45] carandraug: i didn't. i figured it out. it's just a comment label saying what the UUID was for [00:46] Slade http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [00:46] andax: ever get that funny feeling that some people are being sarcastic? :D [00:46] zz medibuntu should not bew causing any issues. [00:47] I can't get into Ubuntu. I am even getting an "NTLDR is missing" error. I did "sudo /sbin/fdisk -l" and it says "Disk /dev/sda doesn't contain a valid partition table". How can i fix? [00:47] Slade ..Never.. really. never at all [00:47] Maniacs :) [00:47] Hello all [00:47] andax: it's not that deadly if all you have to do is remove some # from the fstab file. Also, I've never heard of such virus. Are you sure it's not an urban myth? [00:47] Jack_Sparrow: and before it completely freezes firefox won't start, i click on the launcher and nothing, then i click on thunderbird and it launched right up [00:47] stepanstas did you originally install your ubuntu inside windows with wubi? [00:48] Jack_Sparrow: lol [00:48] carandraug, google for 'sarcasm' please :) [00:48] zz next time try running firefox from cli and see if you get an error message. [00:48] Jack_Sparrow: thats for creating a partition on the same disk. I have a different drive that im using [00:48] Jack_Sparrow: gnometerminal won't start for me to do that if firefox doesnt start [00:49] Slade It all works the same for making a sep /home partition. [00:49] Jack_Sparrow: sorry, it start but is all white [00:49] Jack_Sparrow: the funny thing is, i do not have Windows installed at all. I know the error is related with windows. I have 2 drives. One has Ubuntu, the other has data but it is formated to NTFS. === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [00:49] andax: oh. ok. What about the virus thing being a urban myth? [00:49] zz what versionof ubuntu and how did you install flash [00:49] wow, people are helpless in #winhq [00:49] Jack_Sparrow: ubuntu 8.04 [00:50] !virus [00:50] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [00:50] Jack_Sparrow: This happened when the computer was just not responding and i shut if off with the button. Huge mistake. [00:50] Jack_Sparrow: it installed for me, i don't really know what it did, ubuntu ristricted i think === PrivateVoid_ is now known as PrivateVoid [00:50] <^Ocean^> roge [00:51] zz in a term.. sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) [00:51] carandraug, i was kidding, joking, having fun, being stupid whatever... sorry if it was misleading. I wasnt serious about a virus or anything like that. [00:51] i have that already :-P [00:51] takes me forever to type the pastebin lol [00:51] zz What is the link to it [00:51] We need a GUI for the pastebinit command. :) [00:51] i mean i have pastebin init [00:51] i have to pipe it [00:52] andax: I thought you were deadly only about the deadly [00:52] Dr_willis Look into canoe [00:52] !info canoe [00:52] canoe (source: upstreamdev): Log file aggregator and report tool (Gtk2 frontend).

I have a Windows partition at /dev/hda1, a swap partition at /dev/hda2, and my root partition at /dev/hda3. I want to reformat my root partition and split it into a root and /home partition, which would be located at /dev/hda4. The data on /dev/hda3 will of course be destroyed, but can I edit the partition table without destroying the data on /dev/hda1, even though I don't touch that physical section of the disk? [00:54] okay weird thing: on my laptop if i slide the wireless switch on, bluetooth manager appears [00:54] but it doesnt detect any wireless networks [00:54] zz that looks clean [00:54] shola_, could be that switch enables both wireless networking and bluetooth. [00:54] Jack_Sparrow: i mean gnome fines run for a bit but then things just start freezing and panals go white but cursor still moves around [00:55] Dr_willis Not yet, but there are several modules that I was working on that didnt make it to Hardy [00:55] I can't get into Ubuntu. I am even getting an "NTLDR is missing" error. I did "sudo /sbin/fdisk -l" and it says "Disk /dev/sda doesn't contain a valid partition table". How can i fix? [00:55] I do not have Windows installed, and this happened when i shut the computer off with the button because it was not responding. [00:55] Jack_Sparrow: will change it to a local mirror when i get to school, i think that have one :-D [00:55] Is it possible for me to access a workgroup in Ubuntu? [00:55] zz Shut off compiz effects and see if the problem goes away.. and what video card driver are you running [00:55] Dr_Willis: are there steps that i can take to make ubuntu "see" my wireless card? it's an atheros in a sony vaio [00:55] Jack_Sparrow: Compiz is off, nvidias from the repos [00:55] !samba > Vastlee [00:55] Vastlee, please see my private message [00:55] !wifi [00:55] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [00:56] I added kde4 DE to my Ubuntu Hardy install, then I enabled some desktop effects in kde and wound up getting a mainly black screen.

[00:57] Jack_Sparrow: As far as I understand there were 2 types of bad sector failures. Is this one of those where it is not fixable? [00:57] Should i try reinstalling? [00:57] evild_ Not unless you made a backup [00:57] newbiew_: what kernel?

That's what you want [00:59] bad info here [00:59] evild_: does wubi mess around with yiyr MBR? [00:59] seekingtruth avoid wubi [00:59]  seekingtruth:you mean wubi [00:59] Hi. I have a Windows partition at /dev/hda1, a swap partition at /dev/hda2, and my root partition at /dev/hda3. I want to reformat my root partition and split it into a root and /home partition, which would be located at /dev/hda4. The data on /dev/hda3 will of course be destroyed, but can I edit the partition table without destroying the data on /dev/hda1, even though I don't touch that physical section of the disk? [00:59] seekingtruth: yes to install grub [00:59] ok i will run command [00:59] Jack_Sparrow: why avoid wubi? [00:59] to be more exact [00:59] wait please [00:59] seekingtruth: no. it only adds ubuntu to the windows bootloader [00:59] no [00:59] andax: thanks for that. But when i type in the find command, i get "Error 15: File not found" [01:00] kkerwin: of course [01:00] seekingtruth read the faq on wubi.. I wont use, recommend nor support it [01:00] seekingtruth, download the iso from www.ubuntulinux.com, insert the disc when windows is running and install it like any other application. it wont modify your boot sector. [01:00] does wubi support disc encryption like alternative install does? [01:00] how do i delete ubuntu?

[01:01] My kernel my friends: 2.6.24-19-generic [01:01] Jack_Sparrow: any ideas? [01:01] How do I give virtualbox write rights? [01:01] seekingtruth Just read the wubi faq.. those are scary enough, although they are not intending to warn you about using it [01:01] now how do i get sound card? [01:01] andax: how can I get wubi to use dm-crypt like the alternative install does? [01:01] nadia: depends under what user it runs and what the file perms are [01:01] Ok. Thank you to wols and deeperror for your help. [01:01] Jack_Sparrow: where is the wubi faq? [01:01] seekingtruth-> are you paying attention?

[01:02] seekingtruth, it's explained in the cryptsetup manual. [01:02] seekingtruth-> you are not paying attention, its for temporary purpose, it will never get the full features of a full install [01:02] Jack_Sparrow: Compiz is off and using the nvidia from repos, not "nv" [01:02] nadia: you have more than a dozen users even when you don't know it [01:02] ok i installed wine. then i went to system/preferences/main menu and deleted wine off that menu. then i uninstalled wine. now when i reinstall it it isnt on the applications menu. anyone know why? [01:02] seekingtruth I am saying wubi screwed up my entire ntfs drive and my windows install [01:03] amenado: i dont want full install. I only want to use it once per week when I login to my bank websites [01:03] evild_: cause you manually deleted it from there [01:03] seekingtruth-> then use the liveCD [01:03] Jack_Sparrow: ouch! but I thought wubi didnt mess with that? [01:03] evild_: don*t just uninstall, purge it [01:03] how would i manually put it back? [01:03] wols: ok, so how do I give it permissions while being logged in as this user?

Then you need a VACATION [01:06] is it possible to uninstall X and gnome and all that stuff or should i just do a cli reinstall? [01:06] seekingtruth I would not do it.. [01:06] I currently use the "Bracket Completion" plugin for Gedit; however, I always have to use the right arrow to get out of the brackets. Does anyone know another way, so I don't have to constantly shift my hands on the keyboard? [01:06] seekingtruth, and network sniffers, and .. [01:06] seekingtruth: how can you ever know it is free of loggers. and adding more complexity in software never makes it more secure [01:06] andax: my bank websites never use the keybopard anyway! i uses screen keyboard [01:06] anyone know why flash has stopped working for some sites like comedycentral.com?

Jack_Sparrow made me realise not to use Wubi [01:07] thompa, no. flash under 64-bit is NOT supported. you have to run a 32-bit browser and it's a big hassle that's not worth it to me. [01:08] seekingtruth Just poing out there are some not nice things that can happen [01:08] !flash64 [01:08] You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [01:08] yea [01:08] arrrghhh: well thats my problem then. it was working on 64 some time ago [01:08] Jack_Sparrow: what sound i look into next? [01:08] that hassle that's not worth it to me [01:08] seekingtruth, virtualbox still won't protect you from sniffers/screen capture trojans and stuff like that [01:08] arrrghhh: some update broke it i guess [01:08] also, anybody here know about Ubuntu's USB systems? I have a USB problem [01:08] Jack_Sparrow: yeah, valid reasons to avoid it. I will keep using Virtualbox to run ubuntu. In vbox ubuntu also is encrypted, so thats good [01:08] what command show motherboard ?

[01:27] ninharp: what are you trying to do? the -o force tells it to force.. [01:28] ninharp: or are you trying to get it to do that as a default [01:28] ninharp: put that drive on a windows machine and eject it properly [01:28] cwill: thats right! i know! but i want it automount with the force option [01:28] ninharp: never always force [01:28] Slasher`: plug it in and let ubuntu get a IP via dhcp. then browse to that IP with a webbrowser. if that doesn't help, ask linksys NOT us [01:28] cwill: right [01:28] Vastlee: when you enter the command it will warn you of all the dependencies and what it will install [01:28] ninharp that is not a good thing to do [01:28] ok [01:28] wols; linksys won't support it, because it's not windows :( [01:28] Jack_Sparrow: is there anything I can do to clear it up?

[01:29] hmm i'll give that a try, thanks [01:29] Vastlee: you may want to do it with the synaptic package manager which is a nice GUI for that [01:29] Jack_Sparrow: understandable, will be back later eventually.

[01:43] shola_: thank you, but i don't see anything in there on how to *prevent* connections to a particular wireless network client side (and google hasn't turned up anything i can make sense of) [01:44] try satellite [01:44] smitty, you have to add a line, make it look like this: http://pastebin.com/m3d1e5590 === PV_Away is now known as PrivateVoid [01:45] andax ok I fixed the xorg.conf file using nvidia-xconfig. it has "nvidia" in the right place now. I'm gonna reboot ad see if it works [01:45] smitty, you don't have to reboot [01:45] When I log in with the ac power connected, my battery meter shows up perfect, when I log in with the ac power disconnected, it says that it's disconnected but doesn't give me any % or anything. acpi -b doesn't show anything either [01:45] smitty, just press ctrl + alt + backspace [01:46] andax okies [01:46] Is that possible take a lot of memory or slowly while play WoW with wine? any suggestion? [01:47] Kelen: ask in #winehq [01:47] Hello, can anyone tell me what would cause a commercial DVD not to play in multiple video player programs suc h as MPlayer, Totem, etc.? The picture seems to melt as if burning and skips. The same DVD plays well when I use "Geekbox" :-) [01:47] andax can I have that link again. It's still not working. No Nvida message before login and no WoW [01:47] Kelen, before Jack_Sparrow will tell you that ask here: #winehq [01:48] smitty, it was http://pastebin.com/m3d1e5590 [01:48] ttyal [01:48] well, thanks [01:49] hello [01:49] an off-topic question [01:49] !hi | Kamus_H_Zwisch [01:49] Kamus_H_Zwisch: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [01:49] anyone here speaks latin?

I've pastebinned my smb.conf here: http://pastebin.com/m4be8e908. How can I set all shares to be readable/writable to guests and all users? [01:51] yes what?

[01:51] I am now in Kubuntu with KDE4 and want to install GNOME, but I am getting error messages and I couldn't tinstall it, how do I? [01:52] last night I was using my my server fine through NFS, now i turned my machine on today and I am getting "rpcbind: server 192.167.7.5 not responding, timed out" [01:52] andrax I tried that fix but the only thing that changed in the file was the Option "NoLogo" line. Nvidia-settings still things I don't have the drivers which seem to be there to synaptic. [01:52] i know latin [01:52] balz, try ask you question here: #samba [01:52] ubuntuser192, offtopic [01:52] ubuntuser192: can I pm? [01:52] How do I install GNOME properly? [01:52] abyss: will do, thanks [01:53] Kamus_H_Zwisch: sure [01:53] ubuntu tweak didn't do to much for my problem. ubuntu is still sluggish. AND someone just messaged me to vote barrack obama lol [01:53] smitty, maybe try downloading the nvidia drivers from nvidia.com and running their installer [01:53] Anyone else with some ubuntu performance tips? [01:54] andax the drivers worked fine before I got this new monitor, which was 2 hours ago [01:54] Fungusman, hdparm -M 254 /dev/hda ? :) [01:55] can i uninstall gnome/X.org after a install? or should i just reinstall with the cli option... [01:55] #samba is empty... can anybody help? [01:55] arrrghhh, why not just use the minimal installer [01:55] !minimal [01:55] 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 [01:55] balz, there are many users in [01:56] bazhang, well i installed xubuntu with the alternate cd (nothing else was working, not even ubuntu server install cd) [01:56] Hello, does anyone have any ideas about what would cause a commercial DVD not to play in multiple video player programs suc h as MPlayer, Totem, etc.? The picture seems to melt as if burning and skips. The same DVD plays well when I use "Geekbox" :-) [01:56] gunny, with compiz or without [01:56] gunny: tru VLC or Xine [01:56] can anyone help me with booting from a usb device? [01:56] bazhang? [01:56] gunny: did you try totem-xine? [01:56] bazhang: without [01:57] hi all. is there any solution for an rtl8187b (recognized as rtl8197b) wireless device with WPA? [01:57] smitty, hmm so you changed the display... check var/log/Xorg.0.log , and look for errors. ( lines starting with EE ) and google for them [01:57] abyss_: oh. i didn't see any chatter... sorry i'm very new to irc [01:57] Slade: It does the same thing with VLC! [01:57] anyone know if there is anything special I need to do to get ACPI working? [01:57] I'm unable to get any thermal info [01:57] gunny, try vlc [01:57] bazhang, i forgot about the minimal cd image, i think that's what i need as i am building a headless NAS. i'm just not comfortable configuring certain things without X (even forwarding over ssh...) [01:58] hi um, im new to ubuntu and linux in general, i have hardy and im having trouble with the audio. when i test the sound in preferences -> sound, my logitech usb headphones work fine and they also work for all the system sounds, but they fail to work at all when i use firefox or amarok. Anyone know what's wrong and what i can do to fix it? [01:58] is there a chat room with a discussion on linux and cellphones? [01:58] abyss Does the same in vlc... [01:58] or linux on cell phones...? [01:59] emack: install libflashsupport [01:59] ok [02:00] I'm back. I installed Linux on my flash drive (yeah I'm that guy), gave 4 gigs to my swap partition, 10 gigs to /, and 18 gigs (the rest) to /home. Now when I boot from the flash drive (had to change the priority, but it works) it says "GRUB loading" and then says "Error 17" and just hangs. Help? [02:00] can someone help me with booting from a usb device? [02:00] anynoe? [02:00] Is tehere a difference between updating current ubuntu version or installing new one? [02:00] Lol having the same issue. :P [02:00] With the flash drive. [02:00] i haven't even got that far lol [02:01] Totakeke, you have the wrong entry for hd(x,x) [02:01] im tryin to boot from my camera lmao.. its the best i got right now [02:01] wbreslin951: what do you mean, like a flash drive? [02:01] wbreslin951: oh, nvm then [02:01] flash card in my camerea [02:01] wbreslin951: www.pendrivelinux.com [02:01] ?? What do you mean I have the wrong entry for hd(x,x) [02:01] wbreslin951: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [02:01] ePax: i want something standalone [02:01] not a VM [02:02] oh [02:02] I think I isntalled the boot loader on the wrong partition [02:02] thanks andax - that sorted it [02:02] Totakeke, well when you get that error press any key get back to grub. hit "e" you'll be able to edit the line, and you see root hd(x,x) you can autocomplete with tab and change the partition/drive [02:02] But I wasn't even at GRUB, I couldn't type anything, it just gave me an underscore cursor. [02:02] Totakeke, before that error 17 you were at grub. [02:04] Oh wait. I think I installed the boot loader on /dev/sde instead of /dev/sde1 like the wiki said [02:05] Totakeke: when you installed the boot loader you had the device appear as something like /dev/sdb because there was already a hard disk mounted before the flash drive was recognized, so it became sdb sdc or whatever. now you're booting from it so it becomes sda .. you need to change the boot configuration by quickly pressing 'e' when the boot menu appears and changing the line hd(1,0) or similar to hd(0,0). then press enter to boot. [02:05] * fevel greets [02:05] I want to reformat the drive that has ubuntu on it. Can I somehow put that information onto the secondary drive, reformat the main drive, and then move that info back? [02:05] alright [02:05] zc z x [02:05] mj [02:05] I'll give that a go, thanks. [02:06] m === murat is now known as Guest49772 === brutal is now known as brualll [02:07] what package contains setupterm [02:07] acrousey, whats the point of moving it over reformating and putting it and back? [02:07] acrousey: yes, you can [02:07] hmm installing the libflashsupport didnt help the sound [02:08] Hello, I shrunk my system partition on my harddrive that has Vista on it. I am at the partitioning part of the Ubuntu install, and I am wondering how I would use the unallocated space on the hard drive to install Ubuntu for dual-boot. I want to make sure not to overwrite my Vista partition, or I will be screwed. Can anyone help me please? Thank you. [02:08] suppose i have desktop effects enabled and i want to create shortcut keys for each of my 3 workspaces... how would i go about doing this? 'keyboard shortcuts' doesn't work [02:08] does anyone know if using apt-get install epiphany retrieves the web browser, epiphany...or something different? [02:09] dr_willis: the primary drive is 40GB the secondary drive 750GB; I'd rather have the OS boot from the smaller drive and use the larger one for storage [02:09] Theaxiom, the installer normally has an option where it asks to use 'unallocated space' - thats how i normally install it. [02:09] xaj: it gets a game [02:09] xaj: epiphany-browser is the package you're probably looking for [02:09] !info epiphany [02:09] epiphany (source: epiphany): clone of Boulder Dash game. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.7.0-1 (hardy), package size 85 kB, installed size 300 kB [02:09] acrousey, you can keep your settings and stuff by backing up the /home/acrousey directory and restore it. no need to backup the whole drive. check how much space you need by typing 'du -h /home/yourname' in a terminal. [02:09] Theaxiom: there's a little option that lets you allocate the space [02:09] pici: thanks [02:09] acrousey, so you wish to clone the installed system from the 750 to the 40? [02:10] Dr_willis: I don't see that option... or is it "Use the largest continuous free space"? [02:10] Theaxiom, i normally use the alternative installer. I normally have a setup like this hda (windows a few gb) (UNALLOCATED rest of the hd) [02:10] xaj: Is that the first one where it shows the drive split between the 2 partitions? Are you sure that won't overwrite my Vista? [02:10] Theaxiom, then the installer partions the unallocated space as it wants [02:11] Dr_willis: How do I use the alternative installer? [02:11] dr_willis: from the 40 to the 750 to clean the 40 up, and then put it back on the 40 [02:11] Theaxiom, the live cd installer may ask slightly differnt questions. theres 2 cd's the alt cd and the live cd. [02:11] Dr_willis: Crap, I have the live CD. [02:11] acrousey, I dont see the point of the move in this case. [02:11] lsmod lists the loaded kernel modules. What command will list all available modules? [02:11] !info glib-2.0 [02:11] Theaxiom, the luive cd should be able to install to the unallocated space also. I just dont know what the optuion is called. [02:11] Package glib-2.0 does not exist in hardy [02:12] How do I check how much RAM I have in Xubuntu? [02:12] Theaxiom: according to the ubuntu forums "Use the largest continuous free space" will do what you want [02:12] carandraug: Thank you [02:12] has anyone successfully run Verizon/AT&T mobile broadband in ubuntu? [02:12] I just want to make sure [02:12] Guess they call 'unallocated space' = free space. :) not quite the same in my book.... [02:12] Theaxiom: I believe its the first option on the livecd, the 2nd option is use entire disk [02:12] Theaxiom: take a look at this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5318937 [02:12] anyone here have trouble with firefox and dialup? [02:12] mumrah: I've used AT&T's 3G network by tethering my phone to my PC via bluetooth [02:12] dr_willis: i have a 250 external and i plan on putting some of that on the 750. I'd rather have the 750 for storage for music and movies and he 40 for stuff in ubuntu [02:13] anyone have any idea on how to deal with the lack of sound in firefox? [02:13] emack, flash issue? [02:13] i tried [02:13] !info setupterm [02:13] Package setupterm does not exist in hardy [02:13] it didnt change anything [02:13] emack, did you try to install libflashsupport? [02:13] yea [02:13] and then rebooted [02:13] no change === platyhelminth is now known as platyhelminth_ [02:14] emack, you have sound in rythmbox? [02:14] emack: have you rhytmbox also open? [02:14] trying to install bitchx, but it says it can't find setupterm...what is setupterm? [02:14] carandraug, :p [02:15] Does anybody know why, every 2 seconds or so, my CPU graph has a spike of about 50%? I'm using gutsy, with nvidia binaries, and a core 2 duo [02:15] what would i type in the terminal to have my root apps use my user theme as well [02:15] It settles at 0% except during the spike. The spike doesn't show up in top [02:15] howdy, what is the best nvidia driver version for a geforce 6600gt AGP? 173.14.12, 96.43.05 or 71.86.04? [02:15] boobsbr: go for 96, 173 has that weird compiz titlebar bug [02:16] SNuxoll: I'm referring to mobile broadband - like the usb antennas [02:16] mumrah: tethering my phone counts as mobile broadband, it's the exact same network [02:16] boobsbr I have the 6600 and prefer the restricted one not the one from nv online [02:16] mumrah: plus bluetooth DUN is standardized [02:17] emack, ? [02:17] Jack_Sparrow: the restricted one from ubuntu restricted drivers? those only give me 800x600 [02:17] SNuxoll: how about the new integrated antennae from dell [02:17] boobsbr 1400 here [02:17] dmsuperman_: besides the compiz bug, is there any other problems with 173? [02:17] mumrah: dunno, I've only ever used bluetooth, have no need for another device to drag around with me ;( [02:17] boobsbr it must not be detecting your monitors abvailable res's correctly [02:17] heya SNuxoll [02:17] umm rhythymm box isnt open but theres no sound in amarok [02:18] Slade: hi [02:18] is there any way i can install windows on a seperate hard drive while booted into ubunu? [02:18] emack, so there is no sound at all? [02:18] boobsbr: none that I have seen, but I use 7900 gfx card [02:18] ASrock no [02:18] emack: have you sound in any application? [02:18] boobsbr: 173 is more stable than 169 was, at least [02:18] Jack_Sparrow: probably but i tried it on my last install and when i got it to 1280x1024 it got really slow [02:18] there is for system sounds and for stuff like pidgin [02:18] ex-zelrikriando: you beat me again [02:18] and the test of the sound works [02:18] So does anybody else know why my CPU usagae spikes to 50% every 2 seconds, but only for a small time and it doesn't show up in top [02:18] dmsuperman_: thnx mate [02:18] carandraug, eheh [02:18] im just not getting anything in amarok or firefox [02:19] Okay, I tried hitting "e," but it didn't work. I never get to grub, it's right at the screen where it says "Loading DMI data" and usually after that is where it would go into Windows but then it says "GRUB loading," then "Error 17." It doesn't even give me the change to type anything. [02:19] boobsbr I am running basic 3ghz w 2 gig ram here. [02:19] emack: you mean those annoyong beeps from the computer tower? [02:19] mottz: there is no such command to list 'available' modules... but they are stored under /lib/modules so the command would be find /lib/modules/ -name '*.ko' | sort |uniq or something like that [02:19] emack: called PC speaker by the way [02:19] Jack_Sparrow: 7.04 and 7.10 used to detect the monitor w/o problems [02:19] no, through the headphones like when the os loads [02:19] emack, Do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed? [02:19] boobsbr this is the new xorg [02:19] uh i dont think so [02:19] Can I change the hd(1,0) thing from the terminal? [02:19] Jack_Sparrow: me too, xp 3000+ 32 bit, 1 gb ram [02:20] emack, try and install it [02:20] ok [02:20] emack: hmmm, in that case, maybe they're using the wrong output device. I don't use amarok myself. Search fro somewhere you can switch from alsa to oss or something else [02:20] emack, not sure it will fix it though [02:20] boobsbr if you have xorg from gutsy, stick it in hardy [02:20] ok [02:20] Totakeke, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to change [02:20] Tried hitting e, it doesn't work. I'm not at GRUB, I'm at where it says "Loading DMI data," then it just throws the error right as it says "GRUB Loading." I even kept hitting "e" like a mad man, it won't go into the boot menu. [02:21] okay [02:21] thanks [02:21] Jack_Sparrow: lost it, forgot to backup. windows reflexes... [02:21] boobsbr I have one, but you need to lok it over [02:21] one sec [02:21] ex-zelrikriando: but emack already has sound. I had that sound before. CHanging the sound device should be enough (and he wouldn't need to install proprietary stuff) [02:22] ex-zelrikriando: I meant "I had that problem before" not "I had that sound before" [02:22] Jack_Sparrow: tnx [02:22] carandraug, that's why I told him I am not sure :p [02:22] boobsbr http://paste.ubuntu.com/39256/ [02:22] emack: try changing the sound device before installing that [02:22] Is there any way to make Amarok automatically play a file when it's double clicked? Right now if Amarok is playing somehting, and I double click another file, it adds it to its queue... really annoying :( [02:22] ok [02:22] boobsbr May I assume you know how to change that back manually if it does not work [02:23] carandraug, he might as well to install it anyway [02:23] Jack_Sparrow: i guess i can. tnx for the help mate [02:23] emack, keep that package in mind though, you might wanna want to install it later [02:23] np [02:23] ok [02:24] hmm, no change after changing the device [02:24] and ive tried switching back and forth between alsa and pretty much everything available in preferences === revokin is now known as r3v [02:24] Does anybody know what at-spi-registry does and why it spikes to some 30% CPU usage every 2 seconds? === tonsofpc1 is now known as tonsofpcs [02:24] Jack_Sparrow, you really live in your little op world! === r3v is now known as rev0kin [02:25] !info at-spi-registry [02:25] Package at-spi-registry does not exist in hardy [02:25] irc.2600.net [02:25] dmsuperman_, first hit on google...

[02:31] emack: can you play ogg files in amarok? I believe there's one in your /home folder. Look for a folder names examples [02:32] ok [02:32] emack, might be a problem with proprietary formats [02:32] emack, in that case ubuntu-restricted-extras should fixed it though... [02:32] yea the ogg fiel is working [02:32] Okay, there are about a million different lines in /boot/grub/menu.lst that have hd(x,x). Which one should I change? [02:32] emack: in that case is codec problem [02:33] ok [02:33] emack: have you restarted amarok since you installed the package? [02:33] emack, ok so you want to make sure you can read mp3 formats and stuff...there are forums about it :) [02:34] is it after ## End Default Options ## or after ### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST ### [02:34] ok, what about the firefox tho, is that related [02:34] emack, yeah make sure you restart stuff...rebooting might an option too [02:34] emack: search for GStreamer extra plugins [02:34] hmm, now im getting a xine cant initiate any audio drivers [02:34] How to I change what happens by default when I click on a plaintext txt file in nautilis? [02:34] emack: yes. Probably is also a codec problem [02:34] ok [02:34] Imaginal, try right-clicking the file [02:35] Imaginal: right click in the file and select propierties. Then choose the tab behaviour [02:36] There are a ton of lines with "##"s and "#"s, and right after that it says ## ## End Default Options ## ##. Then it says title, it gives the title, Ubuntu 8.05.1, kernel 2.6.24-19-generic, after that it says "root (hd2,1). I'm guess that's the one I change? And what should I change it to? (hd0,0)? [02:36] /part [02:36] oops [02:36] Totakeke: don't touch the #s, What are you trying to do? [02:37] Imaginal: actually, the tab would be "Open With"; of course, you could also just right-click the file and choose "Open with Other Application," at which point you select which program to open the file with by default. [02:37] I'm trying to change something in /boot/grub/menu.lst from (hdx,x) to (hd0,0) [02:37] Totakeke: you need to hit escape first, to see the GRUB menu, and then 'e' on one of the entries. [02:37] alright then [02:37] I'll try that. [02:37] Thanks. [02:37] Totakeke: that's really the easiest way, but yeah, if you want to do it in the menu.lst, those lines dow nthere are the ones to change [02:37] carandraug, node357 and Fevrin: Thank you! [02:38] Totakeke: Changing those lines won't do it permanently though, just until your next kernel update [02:38] Imaginal: no problem ;) [02:39] Okay, I'm having some network problems.

Hence the problem/ [02:42] I have 2 working samba shares on one disk, but my third one (on a second disk) does not give my windows client the proper permissions... I checked smb.conf and they both have the same configuration. What gives? [02:42] Okay, I changed root(hd2,1) to root(hd0,0) and tried to boot. It said "Error 17, cannot mount selected partition." [02:43] Totakeke: What hard drive are you trying to mount? [02:43] Totakeke do you have three hard drives [02:43] Totakeke: or, rather, which partition? [02:43] In a nutshell, I show no wired ethernet device in the Network Settings window, and the wireless, which was working, now does not. [02:43] Kumorigoe: wired or wireless? dhcp or manual configuration? what happens when you try to connect to the network? when did the problem start? did it work before? did you change something? do you get any error messages? [02:44] Totakeke sdb3 is hd1,2 [02:45] I have 2 hard drives, both of them RAID 1 with Windows Vista, my 3rd drive is a 32 GiB flash drive. [02:45] DHCP, and it was working. Only major change recently was an install of aircrack-ng. [02:45] I mean *3 hard drives [02:45] Totakeke: and which partition does linux think you're trying to boot from? [02:45] Anyone willing to help a NEWBster?? [02:45] Jack_Sparrow: isn't it sd1,2 ? [02:45] ok question here... if I create a sym link in my /usr/bin directory and /usr/bin is included in my $PATH evar, why would I get the message bash: : command not found ?? [02:45] Interface is showing as eth1:avahi [02:45] need help to fix this => Couldn't display "network:///". [02:45] emack, you got it to work now? [02:45] carandraug ot in grub [02:45] not [02:45] nope not yet [02:46] emack, :/ dont give up. [02:46] yea, im checking more forums [02:46] I believe (from what the menu.lst file says) it thinks I'm trying to boot from (hd2,1), that's the default. [02:46] !mp3 | emack [02:46] emack: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [02:47] emack, You basically need to make sure you have all the packages you need and that those packages do not step on each other or are broken (might want to reinstall a few of them to check) [02:47] ok thanks [02:47] Kumorigoe, type 'iwconfig' in a terminal and look for 'Mode: managed' or 'Mode:monitor' or something like that. which mode the card is in? [02:47] help pls Couldn't display "network:///". [02:47] Before, I had a wired device showing. managed [02:47] Managed Mode [02:47] l337ingDisorder: open a terminal window, change to /usr/bin, and enter "ls -l", without quotes; scroll through the resulting list and make note of any red text. The red text means you have a broken link. [02:48] Kumorigoe, and you don't have a wireless device now? [02:48] Just so I can follow along, in (hdx,y) what do "x" and "y" mean? [02:48] I'm guessing x is the drive and y is the partition? [02:48] is there a way to just completely wipe my hard drive? [02:48] acrousey: You could format it. [02:48] I do. It just doesn't seem to be working. It was working in roaming mode. [02:49] acrousey, dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda but _THINK_ before you type. [02:49] When anyone has the chance, I need help with simplistic crap on Xubuntu on PS3 [02:49] acrousey, this will completely wipe sda so think twice [02:49] It's showing as eth1. However, my current device is eth1:avahi [02:49] ok rythymm box is working now [02:49] Fevrin: thanks, doesn't seem to have anything applicable [02:49] still no ff tho [02:49] If you backup your system with a tar file (excluding dev, sys, mnt) then restore will all your keyboard shortcuts application menu and other settings like that be saved? [02:49] Totakeke: x and y are two numbers. GRUB starts counting from 0 and turns the a,b or c in numbers. So hda1 turns 0,0 and hdc6 into 2,5 [02:49] question: does anyone know an autoformat program for .tex files for Linux? Thanks. [02:49] andax: sda is only 40GB anyways [02:49] i don't have too much on there to begin with [02:50] And the only other available device is lo [02:50] acrousey, ok i'm just telling you that all data will be lost as soon as you press enter so think before you type [02:50] First time installing Ubuntu 8.04. It never asked me to specify a "root" user password during the install. How do I create one as I'm logged in with just the reg user. [02:50] andax: do i need sudo before that code then? [02:50] acrousey, yes you need sudo [02:50] Carandraug > So if my flash drive is sde, what would I change that do? [02:50] poet: you don't need a root password [02:50] l337ingDisorder: Hmm . . . I'm not sure why it's giving you that error then. [02:50] migster the best app I have heard of for ease of use is lyx tex [02:51] poet: just use the password you used to log in [02:51] how does one dock pidgin to the side of twinview monitor, like windows *cringe* [02:51] poet: you're sure you need to login as a root? That's not advisable. Ubuntu as no root password by deafult so you can't login [02:51] Fevrin: I think my issue has more to it. [02:51] If i use the same password I used to log in, it gives me "authentication failure" [02:51] fevrin: thanks for pointing me in the right direction though :) [02:51] poet: if you really, really need it, sudo su [02:51] poet: if you really want to create one (not advisable) run sudo psswd [02:51] I HAVE THIS PROBLEM Error: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. [02:51] Please select another viewer and try again. [02:52] poet: sorry, I mean "man passwd" [02:52] I'm just trying to get VMWare Tools installed and it needs higher credentials to do so [02:52] poet: damn, I meant "sudo passwd" [02:52] l337ingDisorder: no problem; I'm curious--how did you make the link? Did you right-click the file, or did you use the ln command? [02:52] carandraug: lol. i wrote sudo su [02:53] poet: sudo passwd is the correct out of the flood of mistypes you jsut got :) === root is now known as Guest39986 [02:53] lol thanks Neuro [02:53] Hello! I have a partition which filesystem is NTFS and i cant delete any files from the partition :( [02:53] Neuro2112: he asked for the root password, not to login as root [02:53] So what would I change (hd2,1) to to boot from my flash drive? [02:53] ln -s [02:53] yes, just need the higher credentials temporarily while I try to install VMWare Tools [02:54] I have a simple yet silly question... is there such thing as a AGP x8 or PCI (non express) pushing 512mb? [02:54] l337ingDisorder: so the file you linked to *and* the actual link are both in /usr/bin? [02:54] !netsplit [02:54] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit === LSD|Ninj1 is now known as LSD|Ninja [02:54] Totakeke: hmm, it's only sde? No number after that? Maybe hd4,0 or just hd4 === SNuxoll_ is now known as SNuxoll [02:55] poet: just use sudo the password is whatever you set it to when you installed [02:55] Carandraug: I'm not sure, that's what it said while partitioning. I'll just boot from the Live CD and check. I'll be back, thanks lol [02:55] omgnetsplit === trucMuche is now known as Guest69282 [02:55] Tonus: wait 1min [02:56] anyone here ever have success with ipw2200 and packet injection? [02:56] Kumorigoe, maybe try: 'iwconfig eth1 ap any' -> this should tell the card to associate to any access point in range [02:56] Thanks DaveKong. So i don't need to do sudo passwd? Just type "sudo" and go with that? [02:57] poet: yes and it stays active for a while if you need to do other stuff as well requireing it [02:57] poet it is safer for you [02:57] I'm a newb as far as Xubuntu, and I have it on PS3. I tried to change the resolution through Xorg but it keeps failing when I reboot. [02:57] SET failed on device eth1 ; Operation not permitted [02:57] Also I have a SDtv rather a HD [02:57] Kumorigoe, sudo it === Guest69282 is now known as trucMuche [02:57] hmm, no nvidia love for me [02:58] I'm trying to get the nvidia geforce 8300 integrated video card to work, but no luck [02:58] does anybody here have that card ? [02:58] ooo nvidia love === trucMuche is now known as Guest69404 [02:58] Kumorigoe, you must have modied the configuration of the wireless device some way when playing around with aircrack, if you can't remember what you did usually "iwconfig eth1 mode managed ; iwconfig eth1 ap any" and waiting a few seconds should help. if it doesn't then just reboot the box. [02:58] nothing [02:58] poet you type sudo then whatever the restricted command is that you were not allowed to do before [02:58] Is there anyway to type Chinese in Ubuntu? [02:58] Fevrin: rofl major l337ing disorder moment there... the problem was that the file I was referencing to create the link to didn't exist... but I had tried to create the link by switching the source and destination order to start with, so there was a broken link created in the place that I thought the original app was located, and then there was a link created to that link.. so neither links... [02:58] ...were broken but they just linked to each other [02:58] poet then you will be asked for your password [02:58] floppyears: nope, but It might be because its a new card [02:59] maybe remove aircrack? [02:59] Fevrin: thanks though, your clue led me to the solution in the end [02:59] l337ingDisorder: XD ;P [02:59] :) [02:59] l337ingDisorder: glad you got to the bottom of it, though :) [02:59] * l337ingDisorder kicks himself [02:59] running on vesa makes things not very smooth :( [02:59] rebooted multiple times. [02:59] floppyears: I've also had trouble getting my videocard to work in Ubuntu. Take a look at Administration > Hardware Drivers, if it's not listed there it might not be supported (that was the case with my GPU) [02:59] * sk33t0r kicks hisself [03:00] Hello guys! i have an ntfs harddisk that is mounted but i cant delete any files from it [03:00] floppyears: what card?

I have a prob with my vmware on xubuntu. When I power on a machine (any) it opens for a sec, then just closes as if it powered back on [03:00] apt-get [03:00] tina - ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:00] !java | tina_ [03:00] tina_: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [03:00] I have a rom file my motherboard manufacturer. How do I update my bios? [03:00] search in synaptic paclet manager [03:01] What's the Ubuntu equivalent of System Restore? [03:01] kc8pxy: nvidia geforce 8300 integrated video card [03:01] guys is there a way to change the sound played when logging in? [03:01] Kumorigoe: There is none. [03:01] Kumorigoe, removing aircrack won't restore your settings, ... not that I knew what would. [03:01] Kumorigoe: a good backup [03:01] flobbyears: sound complicated :) that kind of problems go beyond my knowledge, ask some of the other guys here [03:01] Hmmm [03:01] I need assistance with setting up dual monitors. I'm running hardy 8.04 and the monitors are the same model. [03:02] It's an Asus RS100-E4/PI2 server. How do I update the bios? [03:02] R_YoYo_R: yes.

[03:02] Hello people, I am having an issue getting apache/php to work properly in ubuntu. I installed the packages mysql/php5/php5-cli/apache2 and when I try to access a php page, it wants to download it instead of execute it. What am I doing wrong? [03:02] carandraug, i found like the bongo sound....i wanted to change the sound once gnome is loaded [03:02] R_YoYo_R: at least in 7.10 that's the way. Search under the Accesibility tab [03:02] does skype not work in 64bit ubuntu? === Guest69404 is now known as trucMuche [03:02] kc8pxy: I've tried nvidia-glx glx-new and legacy with no luck :( [03:02] nadia: environment variables [03:03] I've also tried nv [03:03] yo anyone out there a VM expert?

[03:04] yes [03:04] R_YoYo_R: run gconf-editor in the terminal [03:04] Kumorigoe: try reinserting the cards kernel module [03:04] R_YoYo_R: it's easier to search for it there than in the folder with so many files [03:04] nadia, try the 'export' and 'env' commands, maybe this is what you mean [03:04] Theaxiom_: The symptom means that the web server was not setup to parse php files through the php language engine. [03:04] carandraug, i know what your talking about [03:05] carandraug, i will look [03:05] I'm a newb as far as Xubuntu, and I have it on PS3.

Thanks. === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:05] Neuro2112: But it parses a phpinfo.php file just fine... [03:05] hola [03:05] Theaxiom_: Did you check the AddHandler line to make sure PHP is parsing the files, and the AddType to make sure that they’re being sent as the right type. Also check the LoadModule statements for PHP. If you’re lost, its all in the apache httpd.conf, and there are hundreds of tutorials on google for setting it all up. [03:06] !es | zabalon [03:06] zabalon: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [03:06] tnx andax [03:06] brb [03:06] Theaxiom_: those are module loads and type declares in the httpd.conf [03:06] Hi there === ex-zelrikriando is now known as zelrikriando [03:06]  I need assistance with setting up dual monitors.

[03:06] Id like to use a dock in ubuntu, but without compiz [03:06] Neuro2112: I am a php and database developer. [03:06] is it possible? [03:06] foxhop: Graphics card? [03:07] Neuro2112: But thanks, I will take a look. Where is httpd.conf located? [03:07] geforce 7950 gt [03:07] tarwatirno [03:07] Theaxiom_: let me check my server - i have php running - i don't remember if i did anything non-standard [03:07] Theaxiom, find / -name httpd.conf [03:07] Theaxiom_: httpd.conf isn't used in debian based distros. A number of other config files are instead. [03:07] do you use the nvidia drivers? [03:07] Yes [03:07] andax: thanks - Flannel: What? [03:07] tarwatirno: I installed nvidia drivers [03:08] Erm excuse me. How to type Chinese letters in Ubuntu thank you ^^ [03:08] Theaxiom_: you'll find httpd.conf to be empty [03:08] Flannel: How do I configure it then? [03:08] Theaxiom_: What are you trying to configure? [03:08] you should be able to use nvidia-settings to do it [03:08] twinview is probably what you want [03:08] vnix: take a look at the character map [03:08] Theaxiom_: Right - it is in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf for me [03:08] does skype not work in 64bit ubuntu? [03:08] Flannel: When I browse to a php file, other than phpinfo.php it tries to download a weird file name... [03:09] Theaxiom_: Serverwide configs are in apache2.conf, virtual host specific stuff is in sites-enabled/ and module related configs are in mods-enabled/ [03:09] yo anyone out there a VM expert? I have a prob with my vmware on xubuntu. When I power on a machine (any) it opens for a sec, then just closes as if it powered back on [03:09] Okay, I found the name of my flash drive I think, it's in /dev/disk? [03:09] Flannel: Oh okay thanks, kind of like a cpanel/redhat setup [03:09] Theaxiom_: That doesn't sound like a configuration issue. Or at least, not apache. [03:09] carandraung: Is it under language support? [03:09] carandraug, http://www.foogazi.com/2008/06/29/disable-login-and-logout-sound-on-ubuntu/ [03:09] Where are the nvidia settings located, tarwatirno. [03:09] Theaxiom_: Its the debian method, but sure. [03:10] Alright, so what should I change (hd2,1) to? [03:10] Theaxiom_: Check here: /etc/apache2/mods-enabled [03:10] Been a while. I am having trouble with mic and eveonline for Hardy 32 bit. I use the sound blaster audigy card. Mic will not work. I have been on ALSA site, but no help. Any advice? [03:10] vnix: no. Under Applications > accessories. You'll need the fonts installed though [03:10] Theaxiom_: There is a php5.conf and php5.load file [03:10] RedWar: I've been having trouble with EVE voice too using Windows, I think CCP said they're having trouble with it. [03:10] Theaxiom_: You say an odd filename? Do you have some examples? [03:11] foxhop: they got moved in an update, just alt+f2 then nvidia-settings [03:11] Flannel: http://rowland.doesntexist.com [03:11] In vista (breaks glass) it works [03:12] Flannel: Oh tht won't work, I need to setup a static IP [03:12] RedWar: I'm not sure then. I wonder why it won't work for me :P [03:12] tarwatirno - Claims that the file or folder could ot be found [03:12] Theaxiom, the actual command to load the php module is " ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.load " - create a symlink in mods-enabled that points to mods-available. (check /etc/apache2 dir and you'll understand ) restart apache with apache2ctl restart when you have created the symlink [03:12] Totakeke: /dev/disk ? There has to be something else. [03:12] carandraug: don have Chinese letters there. Is there any software use to type Chinese letters? [03:12] Flannel: LFf1Hpdr.phtml.part [03:12] tarwatirno - Do you think its installed correctly? [03:12] Flannel: That is when I try to access index.php [03:12] Where can I find the name then? (Kind of gave up lol) Actually/disk was a folder. [03:13] Or like Windows where I can alt+shift to change the typing language. Thanks [03:13] tarwatirno - The driver was installed but not the settings manager...Installing now [03:13] Totakeke: when you start Gparted, what's the name you get to your usb? [03:13] Theaxiom_: Hmm, odd indeed. Do you have htaccess rules set up? [03:13] Flannel: I did the apt-get of apache2/mysql/php5/php5-cli and rebooted apache, and that is all i did. [03:13] yo anyone out there a VM expert? I have a prob with my vmware on xubuntu. When I power on a machine (any) it opens for a sec, then just closes as if it powered back on [03:14] Theaxiom_: php5-cli actually isn't needed, do you have libapache2-mod-php5? [03:14] I'm not sure jmichelsen_, the perfered VM software here is virtualbox. [03:14] Flannel: I need the cli for applictions [03:14] Theaxiom_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [03:14] Carandraug: I'm not sure. I think it was sde, I never named it myself. [03:14] foxhop: sounds like a plan [03:14] Have you given that software a go? [03:14] Flannel: Thanks [03:14] Theaxiom_: Alright, but as far as apache is concerned, its not needed. [03:14] anyone know how to dock pidgin to the side of a window like windows? [03:14] vnix: I don't know. The character map is just where I see all those strange characters that I never use lol Not an expert on that area, but can't chinese be under mandarin? [03:14] Flannel: Yeah I know, thanks [03:14] okay, I managed to get the eth1 interface selected. Signal strentgh shows as 0. I [03:14] Totakeke: ok. One minute then [03:15] Theaxiom, you have the module installed then, so it is available but you have to enable it. check /etc/apache2/modules-available and modules-enabled directories and it will be clear :) [03:15] foxhop: you know i will take anything that works but I cant get that to work either under xubuntu 8.02 [03:15] foxhop: you know i will take anything that works but I cant get that to work either under xubuntu 8.04 [03:15] Carangraud: Okay. [03:15] i'm having a really annoying problem with my wifi.. so I use up my bandwidth, max it out - 700-800kb/s, it works for sevreal minutes then caps at around 60kb/s.. if I restart the network interface it works again and the problem repeats. any idea? [03:15] Flannel: I will remove all the ones I already installed and follow that guide, thanks [03:15] carangraug: should be under Mandarin. Think have to download the support first [03:15] jmichelsen_, Yeah has the VM's worked on that hardware before? [03:15] Flannel: Does it matter if /var/www is a symlink? [03:16] foxhop: in windows yes, not under linux [03:16] Theaxiom_: It could... you might ask in #apache, they'll be able to help more [03:16] Theaxiom, it can be a symlink as long as apache has access to the target directory [03:16] andax: thanks [03:16] jmichelsen_, it could be the gui, have you tried with ubuntu? (gnome) [03:16] foxhop: virtualbox gives me compile errors, dependency probs, cant start any vm with it [03:16] foxhop: no havent === usualhandle_lap is now known as shnastybiznastic [03:18] Totakeke: it seems me that if it's sde it's either hd4,0 or just hd4 [03:19] Now, I show two signal strength indicators, one with short to tall bars, another with a vertical scale. [03:19] can anyone help me to make my microphone work? I can hear it on the speakers but can't record anything... [03:19] jmichelsen_, why are you compiling vbox [03:19] Totakeke: have you tried hd4,0 ? [03:19] Network icon shows a error symbol. [03:20] Connection properties shows my eth1 as being disconnected. [03:20] xaj: I would recommend xchat [03:20] carandraug, if there is no partition on the disk ( so you used mkfs.whatever /dev/sde ) then grub will find it if you specify it as hd(4,0) - don't know why tough but thats how it works.. [03:20] Carandraig: I haven't tried that yet, I will though, thanks. [03:21] can anyone help me with vbox i am installing xp [03:21] hi guys i got 1 question, if i switch user at ubuntu, will the programs running at my current user be closed? [03:22] andax: ok. Thanks. Totakeke, you've heard andax.

[03:24] help with vbox [03:24] hi guys i got 1 question, if i switch user at ubuntu, will the programs running at my current user be closed? [03:24] bazhang: not compiling, installing from repo [03:24] shishio: Not if you choose "Switch User" [03:24] i need help getting my mic working with teamspeak any pointers [03:24] shishio: It will keep your session running in the background (including any applications you left running) [03:25] Reformer81: ah ok thanks [03:25] anyone know of a stronger way to kill a process other than kill -9 (shy of rebooting) [03:25] foxhop: the errors dont point to gui, for either vm system [03:25] jmichelsen_> foxhop: virtualbox gives me compile errors, dependency probs, cant start any vm with it those [03:26] bazhang: my mistake, not compile errors but install errors [03:26] bazhang: via apt [03:26] hello [03:26] Jack_Sparrow: hi jack, i got my video resolution up to 1280x1024 but everything is very slow now. here is my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/39265/, could you please take a look at it? [03:27] bazhang: No suitable module for running kernel found. is the error i get [03:27] jmichelsen_, what kernel [03:27] Linux michelsendt 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Fri Jul 11 23:41:49 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [03:27] bazhang: Linux michelsendt 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Fri Jul 11 23:41:49 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [03:28] jmichelsen_, then install it via synaptic [03:28] is there a website where i can download extra views for cairo-dock? [03:29] boobsbr, what kind of graphic card you have? [03:29] jmichelsen_, also be sure to add yourself to the vbox group in users & groups [03:29] hello, I just upgraded to gusty, now I cant get any sound w/ the alsa...I am using a SB Audigy2 [03:29] geforce 6600gt agp [03:30] boobsbr, did you tried the nvdia-driver? [03:30] boobsbr, cause actually you use a vesa driver if i mentioned right [03:30] abyss_, yes through envyng it installed 173 [03:30] bazhang: why would synaptic install differently than aptitude [03:31] jmichelsen_, easier to search for it in synaptic [03:31] boobsbr, look for the line that contains driver "vesa", it means you are using the generic slowmotion-video-driver. sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx will fix it. [03:31] Guys.. What's a good way to try and Find VMWareTools.tar.gz? [03:31] boobsbr, why not the driver from System->Preferences->Hardware Driver? [03:31] I did: apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-2.6.24-16-server which seemed to work, but can't find VMWareTools.tar.gz anywhere [03:31] bazhang: thats not the problem, it install, gives that one error and is able to run but wont run any vms [03:32] poet, sudo updatedb .... then locate VM* [03:32] thanks! [03:32] jmichelsen_, this is vbox ose? [03:32] abyss_, i tried the default ubuntu driver but it too screwed everything up, so i did a fresh install and took a shot at envyng [03:32] Flannel: My problem was I didn't clear my browser's cache, thanks. [03:32] bazhang: yes [03:32] poet, build-essentials doesnt install vmwaretools does it? [03:32] boobsbr, anyway if a nvidia driver ist installed you have to choose it as driver too! [03:32] jmichelsen_, and what did you set it to boot [03:32] Is WiFi always this hard to configure? [03:32] Hey guys im trying to run xp in virtual box and i get an error [03:32] VirtualBox kernel driver not installed.

[03:35] jmichelsen_, congrats [03:35] abyss_, how can i list the installed drivers? [03:35] bazhang: thanks for the help, synaptic did allow me to select the right module that the install missed, [03:35] np [03:35] Congrats jmichelson on your success [03:35] Kumorigoe, think what did you modify when you tried aircrack.. have you followed a howto? did it tell you to replace a driver? edit files somewhere? ... it was working before so most likely you just forgot to cancel some changes you made. [03:36] None of the above [03:36] Slade: there's htop [03:36] hello [03:36] I installed the package with Synaptic. [03:36] I have a strange problem where I keep losing my cable (dhcp) internet connection. Everytime I lose it I can get it back by disabling roaming in the GUI, selecting DHCP, the interface is then reloaded, then if I re-enable roaming I get my internet connection back. Any Ideas?

[03:36] carandraug: thnx [03:37] <|BaLiaN|> hello all [03:37] Kumorigoe, then you should try booting from the live cd and check if the card works.

[04:07] okay [04:07] admiral__copelan, now install the correct modules for vbox [04:07] carandraug, I think the error in english would be like this: WARNING: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0 [04:07] fauzie: ou can jump to the first one with alt+Ctrl+F1 you can come back here with Alt+Ctrl+F7. Try it [04:07] DaskreecH: a line that looks like x-directory/gnome-default-handler=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop; I would give the link for the howto but it's in Portuguese [04:07] liquid here is my favorite http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/end [04:07] !rockbox [04:07] how do i tell which ones i need again [04:07] rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for audio players from Archos, iRiver, Apple (iPod), and iAudio. See http://www.rockbox.org/ to get started! [04:07] Okay, to answer someone else's question to me, I want to boot from (/). Which (hdx,y) thing would I want to change in GRUB? [04:08] admiral__copelan, open synaptic [04:08] carandraug: I would change that to x-directory/dolphin-type.desktop ? [04:08] DaskreecH: I'm trying to install nvidia driver from their website as the one from repo don't work very well. It still detects my X server running at VT7 if i'm running it from VT1 [04:08] fauzie: Ah good [04:08] cedriczg: don't know how to solve it, I know spanish. Just pointing out to you that those who could solve your problem may know only english [04:08] carandraug, before that error I get (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) [04:08] shartke: Please don't post things like that here, especially when the language in them is questionable. [04:08] ok [04:08] carandraug, ok [04:08] fauzie: In VT1 type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [04:09] carandraug, Voy a seguir buscando en la web entonces... [04:09] admiral__copelan, now search for modules and install the one matching your kernel, ie 19 [04:09] I'm trying to format a usb drive with gparted and I'm getting this error, any ideas? Unable to open /dev/scd1 - unrecognised disk label. [04:09] DaskreecH: Okay.. trying that. If i went offline than it works. If i went offline for more than an hour then i got my X server messed up :D [04:09] DaskreecH: the howto is to change thunar to nautilus. But instead of a script they actually tell you what to edit so I was able to tell you [04:10] also, when I try to use fdisk it tells me "You will not be able to write the partition table." [04:10] qoncept: scd is cd/dvd not a hard drive [04:10] I want to boot from (/), what do I need to change (hdx,y) to in order to do that? I've tried a bunch of different values already. [04:10] fauzie: Wait [04:10] doh [04:10] admiral__copelan, also in users & groups add yourself to the vbox users group [04:10] fauzie: Are you there? [04:10] Hello evryone [04:10] Oh, I want to boot from (/), change that "hd" thing, and I'm booting from a flash drive. [04:10] carandraug: Knowledge is power :) [04:10] Totakeke: You need to know which partition you're trying to boot to. Do you rememebr which one you made /? (sdXY) where X is a leter and Y is a number? [04:10] i need some help with gfxboot [04:10] andax: you still there? [04:10] faaaaauuuuuziiee [04:11] DaskreecH: what is it? [04:11] i just installed gfxboot [04:11] DaskreecH: but if I understood correctly it should be something like x-directory/gnome-default-handler=dolphin-folder-handler.desktop; [04:11] fauzie: jump to VT2 and type sudo apt-get install irssi [04:11] it worked, thanks a lot, shartke :) [04:11] Totakeke: pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" and we'll be able to tell you. [04:11] Flannel: Okay. [04:11] DaskreecH: what is that? [04:11] carandraug: Right but I would have to write my own .desktop file correct ? [04:11] no problem liquid [04:11] fauzie: IRC without X [04:11] My laptop has Realtek 802.11b/g device, but the OS can't detect it. How else can I enable it? [04:11] DaskreecH: or something like x-directory/gnome-default-handler=dolphin-folder-handler.desktop;nautilus-folder-handler.desktop; [04:11] i just installed gfxboot but after rebooting i still get the old grub menu. why is this [04:12] DaskreecH: ah... thanks [04:12] carandraug: Oh for a backup? THat's brilliant [04:12] !ndiswrapper | rukcus [04:12] rukcus: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:12] fauzie: When you install it come back here and I'll help you rejoin this channel [04:12] !gfxboot [04:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about gfxboot [04:12] rukcus: Use ndiswrapper instructions and have the .inf file from windows driver handy [04:13] DaskreecH: for a backup it would be better to comment that line and edit a copy of it. The adding nautilus at the end I think it means that if he can't use dolphin will use nautilus [04:13] OK, i'll give it a shot right now [04:13] kiba works with ubuntu 8? compiz? [04:13] how do i do that [04:13] carandraug: Right that's what I meant it's a backup file manager [04:13] DaskreecH: also, it seems that you have to run "update-mime-database /usr/share/mime" after the changes [04:13] Has anyone gotten an Iphone to sync with Ubuntu? [04:13] carandraug: ah good tip [04:13] is there a way to automatically mount and suck all files off a flash drive on boot? [04:14] jmichelsen_: you could write a script for it easily enough. [04:14] how do i add myself in the users for vbox [04:14] DaskreecH: tell me if it works [04:14] admiral__copelan, system admin users & groups [04:14] carandraug: can't right now but if it does I can come back and tell you [04:15] Flannel: thats what I thought. something like mount Vol_ID then cp * /dest right? [04:15] fazzlie_: are you fauzie ? === wood_ is now known as tacosteve [04:15] jmichelsen_: something like that, yeah [04:15] DaskreecH: don't bother then. Just to know if I had to take a second a look at that page to translate it for you [04:15] Where does seahorse store private keys? [04:15] call me noob but I still connot figure out where the startup folder equivilent is for xubuntu, anyone? [04:16] carandraug: man update-mime-database seems to corroabate your story :) [04:16] Ashfire908: believe all that stuff is in ~/.gnupg [04:16] genii, i'm guessing this is my problem? [13605.603453] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdc] Result: hostbyte=DID_NO_CONNECT driverbyte=DRIVER_OK,SUGGEST_OK [04:16] Ashfire908: Probably in ~/.ssh [04:16] DaskreecH: no ... he's a different guy. Anyway, I got the irc installed [04:17] fauzie: Ok run it from VT2 with irssi -c irc.freenode.net [04:17] You can add -n nickname [04:17] DaskreecH, not ssh keys, pgp. [04:17] Flannel, I don't see it. [04:17] when it connects then type /join ubuntu [04:17] You will turn up here [04:17] Ashfire908: Don't see what? [04:17] and can get help if you mess up X [04:17] qoncept: Possibly. sdc would be a proper designation anyhow. Some external usb-ide or usb-sata controller chips have issues with linux drivers. [04:17] Flannel, the key. I don't see it in there. [04:18] Ashfire908: It'd be a part of your secring, what are you trying to do? [04:18] but how do i go about doing that [04:18] Flannel: is there a place to put a script to autorun at x start? [04:18] qoncept: I haven't seen that specific error before, so not much help in deciphering it, unfortunately [04:18] Can someone help? How do I open the wireless network as root? [04:18] jmichelsen_: at start? or on login? [04:18] Import it into seahorse in gentoo. [04:18] once when I get my apache server up and running for windows xp I well be also putting in a server for all futuer software for ubuntu for people to download [04:18] admiral__copelan, doing what; also use my nick in your responses [04:18] genii, it was working fine before, but i tried to format it using ext2 because it was ntfs before [04:18] I'm trying to figure out if I can install rockbox or an equivallent on a creative zen micro [04:18] Ashfire908: You just want your private key? or your whole keyring?

[04:19] admiral__copelan: go to the option Users and groups under the menu System and then Administration [04:19] Flannel: how does Bum = Boot options ? [04:19] Ashfire908: you'll need to export it, and them import it. [04:19] haha [04:19] bazhang, thank you [04:19] Flannel: thanks [04:19] DaskreecH: because BUM the package does boot option stuffs. [04:19] Flannel, uh... how? [04:19] qoncept: Ah. Did you also repartition it to type 83 (linux) , or just kept the type 6 (ntfs partition description) ?

[04:21] DaskreecH: It's dead :D [04:21] fauzie_: Of course sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start will bring it back up once you are done [04:21] Ashfire908: If not, you can just copy your keyrings to .gnupg on gentoo, and then delete everythign else [04:21] I'm off [04:21] Flannel, yes I do. [04:21] carandraug: Thanks again [04:21] qoncept: OK. So use gparted, delete the partition. Make a new one of type 83 (Linux type). Then you should be able to format it. [04:21] carandraug: there is no system menu [04:21] DaskreecH: I guess that means you managed it. No problem [04:22] genii, the device isn't showing up in gparted, just sda and sdb [04:22] admiral__copelan: in the top panel, you should have three menus, Applications, Places and System.

Take a look if yuo find that. I'm still in 7.10 so it might be a little different (but not much) [04:23] qoncept: Ok. Close then gparted. Then power off the external drive (if it has a power switch) and then back on after about 10 seconds. If no power switch then just pull out the usb cord, wait 10 seconds plug it back in. [04:23] admiral__copelan, quit vbox [04:24] done [04:24] can any one help me with a simple q? i have searched all around with out an answer, compiz, can you get desktops displaying on all 6 faces?

[04:25] there is no vbox on there [04:25] I was wondering if someone might help me with the tweaking of it? [04:25] qoncept: Hopefully gparted will be able to work on it now :) [04:26] Bazhang: there is only me and root on there [04:26] prock: could you please explain better "can you get desktops displaying on all 6 faces?"

[04:26] i basically want to replace the cube caps with desktops rather than images [04:26] admiral__copelan, pay attention please [04:26] is that possible ? [04:26] admiral__copelan, unlock yourself as I said above [04:26] alecwh:or it might just be pulse, I don't remember for sure. You can ls /etc/init.d to check.

[04:38] Okay, this is driving me nuts [04:39] It was working, and then it stopped. For no apparent reason. [04:39] is there a way to see what the modprobe name for a device is? to load the module [04:39] Carandraug: I added the stuff to pastebin, http://pastebin.com/d7a7a0cfb [04:39] I just installed nvdia driver from their website. When I start X it shows "Not Optimum Mode. Recommended Mode 1280x1024 60Hz". What should I do now? [04:39] JoshPritchard: might help you get started if you need help just ask http://www.adminschoice.com/docs/domain_name_service.htm [04:39] MonthOLDpickle, because nvidia didnt release the source code? [04:39] I did configure but I don't know the models they list on the select but ti doesn't matter anyways since when I save it goes to some 600 x 800 unown moniter and desktop effects don't work [04:39] everythign worked okay before [04:39] MonthOLDpickle: same here. I'm working on it too ... [04:39] MonthOLDpickle: because X is very sensitive about being changed to that degree. That's just the nature of working with proprietary drivers. Chances are you've ended up with conflicting drivers and/or settings in Xorg. [04:40] do you know of a place I someone could SSH in and check out my settings to see if there is anything glaringly wrong? [04:40] MonthOLDpickle, what card do you have? [04:40] prock: also, there's a menu for that in the compiz setting manager. Check the tab appearance under Desktop cube [04:40] I have a 2 year old GeForce GO 7900 GS [04:40] Bhavesh: Add a line to file /etc/apt/sources list which contains: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-proposed main restricted universe multiverse save it.

[04:41] Okay [04:41] Flannel: Yes, my apologies for suggesting it [04:41] Totakeke: your / (10G) is sdd2, which is equivalent of hd3,1 [04:41] SeaPhor: How did you get the nvidia to work? I'm working on the same problem here [04:41] Wanna talk in PMS SeaPhor? [04:41] So I should change the thing to (hd3,1)? [04:42] Bhavesh: As Flannel points out, to use the hardy-proposed repository is not recommended. [04:42] MonthOLDpickle: delet your user profile and start fresh [04:42] huh, I am new btw [04:42] MonthOLDpickle, fauzie_ no, type /join Digital-it to join my channel and i'll help you both there, keeps the noise down [04:42] MonthOLDpicle: could you just talk about it here? My X server is dead and I'm online with text-based IRC :( [04:43] fauzie, whats that called again? [04:43] K how do i go root, need to force mount an old hdd??? [04:43] I like the text based one [04:43] I typed it but nothing happened [04:43] Alright, I'll try (hd3,1) then. Thanks.

[04:50] okay, I have tried adding a mouse entry to my xorg.conf, I still have no x input from USB mice, only synaptics touchpad, here is my xorg.conf: http://rafb.net/p/NL0Hrr35.html [04:50] Oh okay. Thanks [04:50] after installing the nvidia drivers, they don't work [04:50] ferry, use noscript [04:50] cdoublej: No, that's /dev/sdb1, /media/disk is the place youre trying to mount it. Do this, then try again: sudo mkdir /media/disk [04:50] note that all of the entries relating to mouse I have added, and have had no effect [04:50] has anybody run into this ? [04:50] I'm trying to install twitux, and running the configure script gives me this: http://pastebin.com/f606cde67 [04:50] The thing is, libsoup2.2-8 is already installed [04:51] hi. I want buy a laptop for linux. Any suggestion? Thx. [04:51] daning_: Try #ubuntu-offtopic [04:51] k i think it may have worked i replace media with drive name [04:51] Flannel, Thanks. [04:51] cdoublej: Not quite, no. [04:51] dmsuperman_, did you check to see what the package config path is? to where it's looking for libsoup? [04:52] Ubuntu_user, thanks [04:52] hey it works now [04:52] dmsuperman_, or also, did you install libsoup-dev [04:52] Alright, I changed (hdx,y) (don't remember exactly what it was) to (hd3,1) and it didn't work, it said the partition doesn't exist. [04:52] okay, I have tried adding a mouse entry to my xorg.conf, I still have no x input from USB mice, only synaptics touchpad, here is my xorg.conf: http://rafb.net/p/NL0Hrr35.html [04:53] Maahes: libsoup-dev is installed...how do I check the package config path? [04:53] can someone give me a little help? [04:53] Totakeke: I always do that :/ [04:53] is the guy who helped me last name with kismet on here right now? [04:53] hello any other safe browser aside from firefox?and how to get them? [04:53] Whiz2: Go ahead and ask. [04:53] is midori okay? [04:54] Totakeke: in the text you gave me know it says linux is in sdd2 but before you said it was under sde Anyway, hd3,1 should work in the former and hd4,0 in the other [04:54] kismet :? [04:54] totekeke: remember hard drives and partitions are numbered in order starting at 0 (1st harddrive/partition) going up from there [04:54] Ubuntu_user: wlan scanner [04:54] Well I was wrong about sde, don't trust me trust the terminal text lol [04:54] how do i enable enable hardy-proposed repository ? [04:54] bobertdos: I already did lol [04:54] Maahes: figured that out...libsoup.so.8 is in /usr/lib. I just did echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH and it was empty. I did export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib and then echo'ed it, now it's /usr/lib. still same error during configure script though [04:55] I need some help: I'm attempting to enable the RTL8187B radio device on my laptop (802.11bg), but Ubuntu doesn't recognize it, NDisWrapper says it's an invalid driver. What other options do I have? [04:55] nevermind i found it [04:55] Ok... Here's my problem... [04:55] ssh [04:55] Totakeke: I took a look and there is a #grub You can always try asking there [04:55] I saw it [04:55] !browser [04:55] Browsers available for Ubuntu: Firefox (GTK, Gecko engine), Konqueror (KDE/Qt, KHTML engine), Epiphany (GTK, Gecko engine), Dillo (GTK), w3m (terminal-based), Links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !man page), edbrowse (command-line), Opera (Qt, proprietary) [04:55] dmsuperman_, try export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/lib [04:55] well if hardy-proposed is not recommended how do i update udev to a newer version to fix my broken system? [04:55] What if I didn't install the boot loader in the right spot? [04:56] Totakeke: Did you install it onto a subpartition instead of the master boot record, or onto a master boot record of the wrong drive? [04:56] Maahes: same deal [04:56] I'm running ubuntu version 6.06.2 LTS, and up until a few weeks ago, I had no problems using a windows computer on my network to put files on the shared folders of my linux machine, but now any time I do, I get an error that says "can not copy . The specified network name is no longer available" about half way through the copy [04:57] I installed it onto /dev/sde, not /dev/sde2 or /dev/sde3, which were the other options. (I changed the location from hd0 to /sde) [04:57] k when i use sudo apt get how do i make it install to my second hard drive [04:57] it copies at most, 50% of the file before it errors out [04:57] dmsuperman_, try an aptitude purge and reinstall of libsoup and libsoup-dev [04:58] cdoublej: Why exactly are you doing that? [04:58] the only way I've found to copy files to it now is to login to it directly, and go to the remote network location to grab it [04:58] cdoublej: or WANT to do that, rather [04:58] Totakeke: /dev/sde should be right as it is the main drive designation and not a subpartition like /dev/sde1 /dev/sde2 and so on. Likely /dev/sde is not the first drive which is looked at when booting begins however [04:58] cause my first drive is full [04:58] anyone here ever have success with ipw2200 and packet injection? [04:58] Im having some issues.. Id like to ask someone whos been there [04:58] i need to leave room on my first drive for updates and stuff [04:59] my main drive is like 4 gigs [04:59] anyone that can help me with this issue? [04:59] Totakeke: Likely /dev/sda [04:59] i'm trying to install my linksys usb wireless card on ubuntu. any good references i can look off of? [04:59] Hey Guys.. I need some help going through the VMWare Tools install for Ubuntu 8.04 in VMWare [04:59] Genii: So I should change it to (hd0,0)? [04:59] Maahes: did it, thanks :D [04:59] Do I want to install the binary files in /usr/bin? [04:59] :D NP :) [04:59] But /dev/sda is one of my other drives. [04:59] Totakeke: Yes [04:59] Totakeke: aren't you trying to boot from the USB? [04:59] Yes [04:59] I'm trying to boot from a 32 gig flash drive [05:00] looks like new version of ubuntu has broke a few things.. 8.04 worked flawlessly with dmraid software and now half the time things are not working .. or it could just be my system [05:00] Totakeke: sda would likely be the one you need somehow to make it know about going to sde [05:00] cdoublej: I would imagine trying to install any packages outside of the root filesystem would either be impossible, or a complete nightmare at best. [05:00] If anyone can help me, I have no input from USB mice for xorg: http://rafb.net/p/NL0Hrr35.html is my xorg.conf [05:00] Bhavesh: 8.04 IS the latst version of Ubuntu. [05:00] genii: he's trying to boot from a USB flash drive not fixing his grub in his computer I think. He'll need the GRUB in the usb pen [05:00] Also. What directory contains the init directories? (for VMWare Tools) Is it just /etc? [05:00] no one? anyone? [05:01] Reformer81 i think my cd is 8.0.4.1 [05:01] Carangraug: Correct, just want to boot from the flash drive into Linux but still be able to boot Windows from my internal hard drives. [05:01] Totakeke: You are trying to boot from external/usb drive which system sees as sde ? [05:01] Reformer81 you have to change the mouse to /dev/input/mice [05:01] Bhavesh: Ah... well it's still 8.04. So something in those updates is messed up for you. What is your issue? [05:01] Genii: It saw it as sde when I partitioned but according to the fdisk -l it's sdd. [05:01] Totakeke: in your computer (not your pen) do you have any linux installed? [05:01] Carandraug: No, completely Windows. [05:02] Reformer81 well mine is a long story :) i setup hardware to learn how to do raid using dmraid and FakeRAID, on same hardware but a spare hdd everything wroked fine, when i installed ubuntu on the drive that i want to keep, dmraid doesn't work [05:02] Totakeke: so you are in Windows right now? How did you got the fdisk -l ? [05:02] Help on Wireless: Ubuntu can't recognize my Realtek 8187B device, and claims the Win driver i provide thru ndisgtk && ndiswrapper are invalid. [05:03] Carandraug: I've been booting from the Live CD each time. [05:03] i'm trying to change my screen resolution from 800x600 to 1024x768. It works fine for the desktop screen but I can't see the box to write my username in on the user sign-in/splash screen. I was using this code "gksu displayconfig-gtk" to try to get it. How can I keep the splash screen at 800x600 and keep the main desktop screen at 1024x768? [05:03] Totakeke: If you install for instance from cd to a usb drive, when you do this, the bios needs to be set to boot from the usb first. Otherwise when you select it later on the entire sequence of drives that bios reports to the os changes [05:03] bobertdos i was thinking along the lines of say tux rpg like games and such,other wise i must say linux is at a HUGE disadvantage to windows if it can't support more that 1 drive [05:03] Is there a way to lock the mouse to one of the screens in a dual monitor setup? When I play games with Wine, its annoying when the mouse gets out to the second screen, disabling my game. [05:03] Reformer81 and i have installed ubuntu on different hdd's using same cd, i keep running into different issues, current one being that grub didn't get installed at the end of the installation process [05:03] rukcus windows drivers are usually invalid for devices used in linux [05:03] Reformer81 sorry it wasn't for you [05:03] Hi, another Linux noob with problems, loking for some help. I was trying to configure th iptables using Gufw and after importing a ruleset and disabling the firewall I can't enable it again. It is locked. Any ideas? [05:03] i mean i can still load roms and downloads on the second drive [05:03] #snes [05:03] I wrap them thru NDISWRAPPER [05:03] wait it was ;) [05:03] Genii: I did set the flash drive to boot, removable devices are first on the boot sequence and the flash drive is the one with the most priority. [05:03] nevermind i am confused [05:04] Anyone here familiar with Kismet? [05:04] ruckus: better off looking for Linux drivers. [05:04] cdoublej: What filesystem is your other drive? [05:05] Can anyone give me info on where I should store my SNES roms for Snes9x? Also, is the command snes9x *rom name*? [05:05] Totakeke: use fdisk to set the usb drive to bootable. Also find the uuid of it and use that in menu.lst and fstab instead of hd(0,0) (or whatever) and instead of /dev/whatever [05:06] Miyavix3: aren't you in the wrong room to be asking about game emulators? [05:06] iunno o.o [05:06] So how do I set it as bootable with fdisk? (I haven't had much experience at all with the terminal) [05:06] It's more of a terminal question [05:06] Totakeke: start fdisk in the terminal. It's quite intuitive [05:07] bobertdos ntfs,can't i format it? [05:07] Miyavix3: this is a room about ubuntu linux [05:07] MANADO [05:07] all the old crap is usless [05:07] Ok sorry [05:07] Carandraug: Alright, brb lol [05:07] again [05:07] Totakeke: just choose the usb pen and use the left and right arrows to choose the option bootable [05:07] SeaPhor [05:07] hfghg [05:07] I want to add an extra hardrive to my system, do I need to anything before or after with installing the drive ? [05:07] it didn't work for me =/ [05:07] Totakeke: use: sudo fdisk /dev/wht-it-currently sees it as (sdd or sde, whatever) then in there you can use m to see the commands. When done use w when exiting to save the changes [05:07] Oh it has an interface lol I was thinking I'd need to specify some kind of esoteric command :P [05:08] is there anyone that could help me with a 4306 Broadcomm Wireless card issue? [05:08] and I still haven't gotten any response to my problem... anyone know why I can't copy files to my ubuntu machine from another computer on my network when I used to be able to? [05:08] Totakeke: no, runs in the terminal but it has an interface (kind of ncurse) [05:08] whiz2: pretty generic question, how exactly are you copying files? FTP, samba, other? [05:08] scp perhaps [05:08] Ah alright. Thanks. [05:08] I don't understand this, Gnome-Do just won't start [05:08] MonthOLDpickle, accept the invite [05:09] luz3r i'm just doing the same thing [05:09] cdoublej: Yeah, you can format it, but see, Linux isn't like Windows. It doesn't keep track of things in a registry, so it won't know how libraries and other files relate to each other when it's not within the root filesystem. [05:09] journey4712: it's setup to use Samba [05:09] luz3r: no. You should have no problems. You may have to add it to fstab later [05:09] seems like windows just add the drive [05:09] whiz2: can you mount(map on windows) the remote share, and get read only access, just not write? [05:09] how to read hardware spec in ubuntu [05:09] I ran into a problem with VMWare Tools and Ubuntu 8.04. It says "None of the pre-built vmmemctl modules for VMWare Tools is suitable for your running kernel". [05:10] bobertdos so it is at a big disadvantage because it can't run every thing off multi drives??? [05:10] i had better luck with virtualbox vs vmware, but thats just one experience [05:10] I'm attempting to build a driver and I'm getting an error that says "make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-19-generic' [05:10] scripts/Makefile.build:46: *** CFLAGS was changed in "/home/jacob/Desktop/rtl8187b-modified/ieee80211/Makefile". Fix it to use EXTRA_CFLAGS. Stop." [05:10] unbel_: In the terminal, lspci and lsusb will list most devices. [05:10] ok [05:10] How to share my files to be downloaded using torrent??? [05:10] my drive is full how can i game with linux stuff windows stuff is fine if go threw wine assuming wine can use my second drive [05:10] S4nD3r: keep the torrent running; don't close the client [05:10] Any ideas guys? [05:11] sure, but, I deleted the .torrent files === travis_ is now known as Theaxiom [05:11] I didnt know that! [05:11] journey4712: do you know how to make the bridge network work? [05:11] S4nD3r: you need to restart that torrent file [05:11] zar: just a sec, i'll put my script on pastie [05:11] journey4712: on XP virtualbox? [05:11] cdoublej: Well, I wouldn't call that a big disadvantage necessarily. You have to remember too, Linux is based off of an environment that was never designed to be for mass entertainment. [05:11] i run a virtualbox containing XP on ubuntu [05:11] I uses bittorrent [05:11] journey4712: Using a windows (any version 98 or higher) computer, I can map (or mount if you will) the ubuntu's shared folder to any desired drive, then copy from, create new (folders and files) and even delete files, but when I try to copy to it, i get a message that says "Cannot copy The specified network name is not available" but it manages to copy 50% of it [05:11] HELP! Imeem doesn't work on my linux box [05:11] S4nD3r: torrent isn't like emule. You don't add folders to a list of ones that are sharing in the network. Just leave the torrent open after you're finished [05:12] Flash items don't work [05:12] Transmission 1.06 [05:12] I dont have torrent file anymore [05:12] [help] how come imeem.com doesn't work? [05:12] S4nD3r: download it again, otherwise you can't share it [05:12] cdoublej: Linux works seamlessly with multiple drives. Windows doesn't. [05:13] avgeneral: have you checked to see if there is a linux version of flash? [05:13] zar: http://pastie.org/256975 is the script i use, must be run as root [05:13] oh... there are a lot of 100 files [05:13] cdoublej: Multiple drives behave exactly like a single one would, you'd never even know the difference. [05:13] i downloaded the version 10 from the Adobe flash for linux download section [05:13] journey4712: thanks [05:13] not raid [05:13] how to know how many ram in graphic card [05:13] whiz2: hmm, i was going to guess permission issues, but if you can create folders and whatnot that part should be fine, must be something deeper [05:13] avgeneral: try rebooting after install? [05:13] S4nD3r: in torrents you're only sharing the file that's related to that specific torrent. If you want to give others what you have in your computer you'll need to create your own torrent files and give them to others [05:14] ok [05:14] ill do that [05:14] flannel s then i can use my other drive for linux stuff, if so do/should i reformat, if so how [05:14] ummm... boring [05:14] journey4712: I may have a cause, but no solution [05:14] * Bhavesh reinstalling ubuntu for the 4th time on same drive [05:14] I was so stupid when I deleted the torrent file [05:14] cdoublej: What are you trying to do? Just add space? [05:14] how do I fix this error? "make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-19-generic' scripts/Makefile.build:46: *** CFLAGS was changed in "/home/jacob/Desktop/rtl8187b-modified/ieee80211/Makefile". Fix it to use EXTRA_CFLAGS. Stop." [05:14] S4nD3r: actually it's better than the emule system (in my opinion) [05:14] journey4712: already tried a script like that. It doesn't work [05:15] Flannel: He was wondering if there would be a way to install packages to a secondary drive. [05:15] Yes [05:15] Now I understand how it works [05:15] flannel yeah i figured the next time install a package i could direct it to the second drive? [05:15] cdoublej: What's your current partition situation look like? You only have one? [05:15] journey4712: not long ago, I installed system commander, made a new fat16 partition on the main drive, and isntalled win98 on another seperate drive (which happens to be symbolically linked from the shared folder). Could it be the additional drive? [05:15] zar: odd, works great on my machien [05:15] singe drives with singe partions [05:15] Id like to help other to downloads what they want [05:16] heya.. i'm trying to use transcriber on ubuntu - but it insists on trying to open /dev/sound/dsp - which i don't have - any ideas? [05:16] cdoublej: Alright, and how big is your partition right now? [05:16] just added an ntfs 2.5 inch hdd via 3.5 inch adapter works just fine.now i need to use it [05:16] S4nD3r: then just leave the torrent open once you're finished. I usually only close once I get a ration of 2 [05:16] bout 10 gigs 80 some mb used [05:16] whiz2: hmm, i doubt it. You could always remove the symlink and share that folder directly to see if its the problem [05:16] which client do you uses? [05:17] cdoublej: So, you want to reformat that new drive completely? or just shrink the ntfs partition that's on it, and use the rest of the space? or what/ [05:17] journey4712: unforunately I don't remember how to add/remove symbolic links [05:17] journey4712: do you have to run the script on boot every time to make the configuration permanent? [05:17] S4nD3r: rtorrent. Runs in the terminal but it's really nice and simple [05:17] sure [05:18] zar: could, i dont use virtualbox much so i just run the script from a shell before i load virtualbox [05:18] hello, my keyboard layout does not save when i exit ubuntu, so i have to always sot it again. any help? thank u! [05:18] does anyone know the package name for screen> [05:18] *? [05:18] journey4712: makes sense [05:18] journey4712: ln - s [target] [link] [05:18] if thats what you are talking about...lol [05:18] Liquid2[laptop]: screen [05:18] i just rebooted and imeem still doesn't work [05:18] whiz2: hmm, well if your comfortable from the command line you remove a symlink with "rm /path/to/symlink" and create one with "ln /path/to/origional /path/to/symlink" [05:18] i just caught a section [05:18] flannel if linux works fine with ntfs i'm not worried about reformatt just want to know how i can sudo apt-get with my second drive? [05:19] whiz2: ln -s, make sure to use the -s flag [05:19] yea otherwise you get a hard link... ;) [05:19] journey4712: know how to do it from within KDE? [05:19] cdoublej: No, linux still doesn't like ntfs, it can read/write to it, but not use it like it would native partitions [05:19] thanks, Flannel [05:20] whiz2: unfortunatly not, for me kde and gnome are too comlicated :P kinda the oposite of newcomers [05:20] complicated [05:20] K then flannel what is the script for reformat? [05:20] journey4712: path to symlink would be the link itself, or the drive it's linked to? [05:20] cdoublej: How big is your current partition? [05:21] [help] imeem.com doesn't work on my linux [05:21] !doesntwork | avgeneral [05:21] avgeneral: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [05:21] /path/to/symlink is the link itself, so ln -s source dest, source where the link will point, dest is where the link will be [05:21] Imeem doesn't play music. the flash does not display the playlist [05:21] hi, my wireless connection seems not to be working with extremely weak signal. Is there anyway to improve it? === nicholas_ is now known as NUtzebahn [05:22] flannel ntfs 3.1 size 9.4 gig [05:22] cdoublej: er... Are you using wubi? [05:22] does someone know a good and simple software to monitor network traffic (including IP and application info)? [05:22] avgeneral: have you tried imeem channel? [05:22] hmm [05:22] nope [05:22] wubi is that when you right click on the drive cuae thats what i did [05:22] it is a single partion [05:23] cdoublej: Do you have Ubuntu and Windows installed right now? [05:23] imem does not have an irc [05:23] channel [05:23] are you guys able to play music on imeem? [05:23] journey4712: "rm: cannot remove /path/to/symlink Is a directory" (I changed the symlink name here for privacy reasons lol) [05:23] no the second drive did have windows, salvaged form a dead laptop [05:23] deleted all the files off it [05:23] how do I properly install flash on my firefox? [05:24] zar: depends how deep you wanna go, iptraf will tell you about what connections are open, what the ports are on ech side and how many packets/bytes go through each connection [05:24] avgeneral: I can [05:24] except a few that wouldn't go away [05:24] cdoublej: so, you only have Ubuntu right now? How big is oyur current drive? [05:24] carandraug: how did u install flash? [05:24] cdoublej, dban [05:24] avgeneral: Did you attempt to install it after downloading 10? [05:24] avgeneral: in my experience, firefox should prompt you to install it when it needs it [05:24] journey4712: that is exactly what I want. I don't need something like Wireshark for now. [05:24] bobertdos: yes, i double-clicked on it and told it to run in terminal [05:25] avgeneral: long, long, long time ago. Somewhere last year and never had problems [05:25] i have an apache server and i want to upload files to it what do i have to do [05:25] avgeneral: Did you install any other flavor of flash before that? [05:25] I'm using Linux Mint Elyssa [05:25] nope [05:25] avgeneral: does flash work at all? What browser are you using? [05:25] some of the flash modules work. just not imeem's [05:25] !mintsupport | avgeneral [05:25] avgeneral: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint on irc.spotchat.org [05:25] journey4712: can I get iptraf from main repositories? [05:25] flash works [05:25] jahnkeanater: depends on how you want to upload files. Do you want to upload them from the web, or from your network? [05:25] from the web [05:25] flannel it won't tell me the full volumes size so far i have 2.5 gb free and the used size is still counting [05:25] whiz2: ls -ld /path/to/symlink, it should look something like: lrwxrwxrwx 1 guy guy 65 2008-07-01 08:41 My Pictures -> /media/WinXP/Documents and Settings/guy/My Documents/MyPictures/ if its a link(the -> is important) [05:26] how do I restart the sound daemon? my sound frequently stopped working probably due to pulseaudio acting up [05:26] 1 game is 600 mg or larger so i'd like to reserve whats left [05:26] cdoublej: Go to a terminal, and do this command: "sudo fdisk -l" and then pastebin the output [05:26] avgeneral: It's probably more imeem's fault than Ubuntu's, in that case. [05:26] Whiz2: from the web [05:27] zar: should be able to [05:27] journey4712: nevermind, found it with google [05:27] Totakeke: so? How it went? [05:27] zar: looks like iptraf 3.0.0-6 is in hardy [05:27] alright, I tried to use fdisk, but it still didn't work. It gave me the option to boot from partitions 1-4, even though that drive only has 3 partitions. I selected 2, since the first one was swap (said fdisk -l earlier that I printed) Oh, and Linux sees the drive as sdd, not sde. [05:27] flannel paste bin http://slexy.org/view/s2Gb0XNOrH === Ubuntu_user is now known as Poseidon [05:28] I got the same error I got a few hours ago, "GRUB Loading," "Error 17" [05:28] cdoublej: Alright. What you're going to do is move your whole /home folder to your new drive (well, to a partition on that drive) [05:28] do i have to edit apache to upload files [05:28] journey4712: I made the directory called "download" in hdc1 then symlinked it to hdb1 [05:28] cdoublej: This will give you that entire drive for wine games, as well as your personal files, [05:29] cdoublej: and then in doing so, you'll have more space for programs and stuff on your current one [05:29] All this stuff happened to me when I was trying to install Linux on my one hard drive. Why is this so difficult? [05:29] Totakeke: 17 : Cannot mount selected partition [05:29] This error is returned if the partition requested exists, but the filesystem type cannot be recognized by GRUB. [05:29] flannel k will it work fine for packaged linux games or just big ass packages? [05:29] Shouldn't Linux just install and run? [05:29] flannel where is,what is the home folder [05:29] cdoublej: It'll work for everything. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome are the instructions, but let me say one more thing before you go off to follow them [05:29] how do i get wine to lay sound [05:29] totakeke: try installing windows, and then setting windows up to dual boot windows and linux, now thats a challenge :) [05:29] to i need to install sound drivers on it [05:30] journey4712: I was looking in the application manager instead of Synaptic. Is already there thanks. another application question. Do you know a good alternative for the default Remote Desktop Viewer that let me connect to a machine using XP and Ultr@VNC [05:30] totakeke: on a box that already has a ilnux partition the i mean [05:30] k flannel is it dangerous [05:30] I'm having trouble compiling a driver - I get errors and I don't know what they mean. It says I need to change CFLAGS to EXTRA_CFLAGS for w WiFi driver. [05:30] zar: unfortunatly, thatone i dont know [05:30] Totakeke: it's not difficult to install on a harddrive. What you're trying to do, install on a usb so you can start in any computer, that is tricky [05:30] journey4712: and it doesn't have the --> [05:30] cdoublej: Those instrctions assume you're creating a new partition on the *same* drive (sda1 to sda7) you'll be creating a new partition on a *different* drive (moving /home to sdb1) so you don't need to shrink anything, just create the partition and move. You will, however, still need a liveCD [05:30] Carandraug: Why wouldn't it be recognized? You mean the file system is something that Linux can't work with like NTFS? [05:30] journey4712: np [05:30] But even when I tried it on blank drives it gave me all kinds of crap lol [05:31] flannel this sounds hard [05:31] cdoublej: not really dangerous (well, technically any sort of mass movement of data is dangerous, power failures, etc) but this is fairly simple/straight forward. [05:31] Totakeke: that's what it says in the grub manual. http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Troubleshooting [05:31] journey4712: I'm starting to love Ubuntu. The applet is already installed hehehehe [05:31] Could someone here please help me with my microphone problems? [05:31] whiz2: if it doesn't have the --> then its not a symlink [05:31] cdoublej: Its real easy, you can ask questions here if you have them. Basically there are four steps: boot liveCD, create new partition on second drive, copy /home to second drive, add new line in fstab [05:32] zar: heh, nice [05:32] Totakeke: which in my opinion means that's it's not pointing to the right drive. I also noticed that you haven't tried asking at #grub [05:32] journey4712: output from that command was "drwxrwxrwx 7 root plugdev 4096 1969-12-31 19:00 /media/hdc1/download" [05:32] whiz2: so that means it is a normal directory, it isnt a link to anywhere [05:32] journey4712: if it weren't a link then it would not go to /media/hb1 when I opened it === marbe800 is now known as marbe800_ [05:33] whiz2: what is the contents of the directory? ls -ld /path/to/link/* [05:33] cdoublej: and actually, that guide walks you through creating a backup of your files, so there are even fewer risks. [05:33] Alright, I'll go ask at grub then. [05:33] journey4712: the exact same contents of the drive windows 98 is installed into [05:33] Thanks for the help, I'll probably be back later if something else comes up lol. [05:33] anyone know if there is a working promise (SATA) module in the kernel yet, or atleast included in the latest ubuntu [05:34] ugh i'd rather not back them up nothing special on this comp just updating is pain. plus wirless drives are pain even though they never work [05:34] hy everybody, 'im looking for a "feature-request" link for the nautilus project ? [05:34] fuck all of you [05:34] whiz2: thats quite odd, shouldn't be possible, the first flag of ls -l is d, which means directory, if it was a link that would have to be an l. [05:34] topls: well then [05:34] is it possible for me to share the disk on a live cd across the network to other machines with full write access without a login (that doesn't seem to work, changing user passwords on a live install seems to really piss it off) ? I've tried "sudo net usershare add fixme /media/disk Everyone:f guest_ok=y" and it either takes guest_ok as a comment or an ACL, basically I've tried a million things and I'm still sitting here starin [05:34] cdoublej: Not "back up" onto media, just move it to a different place on the harddrive. [05:34] Totakeke: also, keep in mind that in channels like those (with a much smaller number of users) you may have to wait to get an answer [05:34] whiz2: but obviously it is possible :) [05:35] hi all! [05:35] cdoublej: you only have to move it because you can't have it in the same place when the other stuff is trying to be there. [05:35] journey4712: obviously lol [05:35] fuck all of you. so now boot me off the server so i can go to bed. [05:35] thanks [05:35] I'm planning to buy a tv tuner but I don't know which one can work with ubuntu. Can anyone recommend me one? [05:35] flannel once home is on the second drive all my new packages will go there [05:35] journey4712: and now the iptraf is on my desktop working like a charm :-) thanks again [05:35] Carandraug: Lol that's alright, I don't mind. I'll wait as long as it takes to get Ubuntu up and running. [05:35] exceot updates i assume [05:35] journey4712: I'm afraid if I delete the directory it will wipe that drive [05:36] cdoublej: No, the packages will still go in the same place, but your wine stuff won't, and you'll have extra room because all your personal stuff won't be taking up room [05:36] whiz2: i agree, i wouldn't delete it without being sure what exactly it is, [05:36] whiz2: the odd linking may be why samba has problems though [05:37] journey4712: it's like i said before... I created the directory on hdc1 called "download" then symlinked that directory to point to hdb1 [05:37] ok flannel i'll do this some other time, soon but it is late i'll be sure to come here and ask [05:37] Totakeke: but like I told you before, installing Ubuntu is easy. It's installing in a pen to get a portable version of Ubuntu that is a tricky thing. [05:37] journey4712: it worked perfectly fine like that before [05:37] getting tired [05:37] hello- an installer wants the DISPLAY variable set.. using command /usr/X11R6/bin/xdpyinfo.. connection to ":0.0" refused by server.. ??? [05:37] oh flannel thnaks for the edumacation on linux and multiples drives [05:38] cdoublej: No problem [05:38] is there a way I can right click to share something without it blocking me due to no sudo when running off the cd ? [05:38] journey4712: now I just have to fix my problem with Gufw. Any idea why it is locked or how to unlock it? [05:38] whiz2: well, skip that part for a moment, how about we make a new symlink to the downloads dir, ln -s /path/to/sourcedirectory /path/to/dest_TEST [05:38] journey4712: so I doubt the odd linking has anything to do with it, but I'm wondering if the system commander fat16 drive could be the cause. [05:38] Pici: never a dull moment on freenode :) [05:38] darkblue_B export DISPLAY=:0.0; [05:38] whiz2: fat16 is old hat, should be easy for linux [05:38] Bhavesh: ok, trying [05:38] darkblue_B : xhost + [05:38] synmlink directly to the download dir on hdc1? [05:39] Bhavesh: xhost + isnt a good idea for long term btw :) [05:39] whiz2: basicaly create a second link, download_TEST or whatever, but this time a normal link instead of the special link that you have now [05:39] MIT magic cookies are still the preffered method iirc [05:39] whiz2: then try transfering files into that dir, my best guess . . [05:39] troubled of course :) this is only for the session so he can get by the installation [05:40] hey all howa [05:40] ?? [05:40] journey4712: aha! we got off track... it's not just that directory that has the issue [05:40] Bhavesh: I figured as much, but I like to bring it up "just in case they didnt know better" :) [05:40] export DISPLAY=:0.0; did not fix it [05:40] well [05:40] How do I have ubuntu automatically mount my Vista partition upon boot so that my applications have access to it without me having to first double click it? [05:40] I dont know what you mean by xhost + [05:40] I HAVE A Q [05:40] journey4712: hdc1 is the main shared drive. I can't copy files to any shared drives on my ubuntu computer from another computer on my network [05:40] !ntfs-3g | Theaxiom [05:40] Theaxiom: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [05:40] Nm: and caps locks as well :) [05:40] !ask | Nm [05:40] Nm: 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. :-) [05:41] KEY [05:41] !ntfs | Theaxiom [05:41] Theaxiom: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [05:41] Flannel: I have no problems accessing it, but I can't until I double click it in Computer [05:41] Theaxiom: Thats the one you want, actually. [05:41] whiz2: ahh, its all directorys? hmm then yea the link is probably irelevant [05:41] troubled you are right.. on the other hand he probably did NOT need xhost+ to get by installation [05:41] whats the channel for finding information on ripping video??? [05:42] whiz2: i'm going to have to call this one stumped, i hope someone else here can lead you to the right answers [05:42] Bhavesh: xhost would be on the machine receiving the display though, hopefully he understands that [05:42] Flannel: Thanks :) [05:42] journey4712: yeah it's all of them. I've tried rebooting the server (linux machine) and even restarting my entire network with the same results [05:42] My firewall GUI is locked. Need some help. [05:42] well boys if any one saw too look into Es1371 sound card not modconf fuuu [05:42] troubled i think he was using local server and local terminal [05:42] troubled: I dont know what you are saying [05:42] Bhavesh: yes, all local [05:42] darkblue_B don't have to use 'xhost+' command for dispay to work [05:43] journey4712: I can login directly to my server, and use it to access those same files and copy them over that way (locally from remote computers) but not vice versa [05:43] Bhavesh: I set DISPLAY as you suggested and retried, and that has failed in the same way [05:43] :D [05:43] darkblue_B what was the error message? [05:43] darkblue_B: xhost is a way to tell X windows what machines are allowed to access the display and keyboard to receive output for an X app on a remote machine that is using a "export DISPLAY=" option [05:44] ok i figured out my problem [05:44] journey4712: in essence, I guess you could say that I can download to it, but not upload to it... if that makes any sense? [05:44] hey boys [05:44] darkblue_B: xhost + basically says "anyone that can tcp connect to this machine can do anything, including display and read keystrokes" [05:45] comon i have a trooble [05:45] Bhavesh troubled http://dpaste.com/72833/ [05:45] that's sound card [05:45] !patience | Nm [05:45] Nm: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [05:45] i installed ubuntu, worked great, installed dmraid, it rebuilt initramfs and then it won't boot no more, get message kinit: no resume image, doing normal boot, mount /root failed: device or resource busy [05:45] What package do I download for open terminal here when I right click on a folder? [05:45] k [05:45] Theaxiom: nautilus-open-terminal, I believe [05:45] dang i have seen this error before, but i forgot how i fixed it [05:46] whiz2: it makes sense, i just cant think of what would cause it. For something that basic i wouldn't expect any of the config options to samba to effect this, obviously permissions/user login are fine since you can create directorys, the fact that it starts to send the file, then dies in the middle . . . i dunno [05:46] Theaxiom: its definately a nautilus-* package, and the name should make it obvious, if you just want to search for packages with nautilus in the name [05:46] Flannel: Thanks, then how do I restart my gui so it appears in the context menu? [05:46] darkblue_B: what happens when you run xdpyinfo? [05:46] i am begining NOT to like ubuntu === Aryan is now known as Guest56085 [05:46] Theaxiom: closing all nautilus windows.... should work. If not, log out and log back in. (or ctrl-alt-backspace and log back in) [05:46] whiz2: it happens on all files? you cant even copy a 1k text file? [05:47] Flannel: killall nautilus will work? [05:47] journey4712: well i just did a test copying a file of 1k using a windows computer, and it copied perfectly fine... maybe there is a network timeout issue somewhere [05:47] Theaxiom: That'll work too, yeah. Although it may not come back up by default [05:47] Flannel: Worked great, thanks [05:48] troubled: unable to open display "". [05:48] darkblue_B: what about: echo $DISPLAY [05:48] how do I identify my wireless card? [05:48] journey4712: yeah it seems to work fine on smaller files, but I'm trying to copy files to it that areabove 100MB in size.

[05:50] I dont really understand how it all works [05:50] whiz2: it does sound like a timeout, i was looking through "man smb.conf" but there are only a few options for timeouts, none related to open connections(well, one that kills idle connections but it defaults to 0) [05:50] darkblue_B: ie: you are running X as user bob, but want user "oracle" to be able to display a window in bob's screen/display? [05:50] shouldn't be an idle conenction anyways its in the middle of a transfar [05:50] troubled: apparently yes [05:50] I am using a VNC connection, that is set up for the main user, hps [05:51] I su to oracle in the terminal [05:51] journey4712: maybe I need to go to a windows channel and ask them if it's a problem on my windows network configuration [05:51] I want to run the nstaller as oracle [05:51] I dont know how to dodge around the XWindow things [05:51] whiz2: could be, although if it happens from multiple windows clients i wouldn't think its likely === Aryan is now known as Guest14316 [05:51] journey4712: all my remote machines are windows clients [05:52] whiz2: howabout another test, can you mount the samba share on the ubuntu client(basically your mounting a local samba share) and try a tranfer that way [05:52] darkblue_B: sec [05:52] troubled: the machine is remote.. I can ssh in, or use vnc.. but its remote [05:52] whiz2: it should test all the stuff in samba, without going over the network to see if samba is the issue [05:52] True [05:53] tottally agree [05:53] whiz2: something like "mount -t cifs //servername/share /media/local_share" or whatever [05:53] journey4712: Mount a samba share? what do you mean? mount a local drive shared for samba, or mount a shared drive in ubuntu that is located on a windows client? [05:53] whiz2: mount the samba share to a directory on the machine that runs samba [05:54] darkblue_B: as the user running x, try: xhost +, then as the oracle user try: export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 [05:54] and their * are [05:54] Is there a way to lock the mouse to one of the screens in a dual monitor setup? When I play games with Wine, its annoying when the mouse gets out to the second screen, disabling my game. [05:54] troubled: trying [05:54] journey4712: samba is running only on the linux machine. the rest are using windows networking [05:54] Might someone be able to explain to me what "beryl effects" are, what they're good for, and how to install them in Ubuntu? [05:54] darkblue_B: iirc, it defaults to a socket for X if its just 0.0, localhost should force it to tcp via loopback iirc. [05:54] whiz2: yea, i mean to mount the samba share on the machine that runs samba [05:54] which the xhost + setings should now allow [05:55] whiz2: it sounds odd, to mount a remote share on a machine that already has access to the files, but its more to test if you can copy files into the directory as handled by samba [05:55] whiz2: remote share might be the wrong word [05:55] and some off their ES 1371 Does [05:55] u now [05:55] ht [05:55] Nm: Please stop [05:55] losse in boot [05:55] is there a bug in dmraid setup which causes initramfs to be created incorrectly which fails the boot next time?

[05:55] Nm, this is not a chat channel [05:55] journey4712: telling me that way doesn't answer it in a way I understand... linux is running samba... mount the linux shared drive in lunux, or the windows client shared drive into linux?

[06:02] whiz2: oh, you have to create a directory before you can mount to it [06:02] Anyone know what the issue could be? [06:02] I-Hop: You're right, you did. That was for someone else. [06:03] "a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily)." [06:03] how can I edit an entry in the [06:03] ok okies [06:03] how can I edit an entry in the applications menu ? === CoolFox is now known as Macinposh [06:03] mespejel_: xev = print contents of X events ? [06:03] hey people, i have a question, i went to ubuntu and downloaded the latest, only to find out it was an "ios" image, i wiped hard drive and tried to load, says there is no system disk. di i need another format in order for hdd to read from cd?? [06:04] mespejel_: if so, the xev command is in the ubuntu package: x11-utils [06:04] yes i my apple mighty mouse is not working the middle bottom [06:04] thanks [06:04] ok well if somebody doesn't have an answer to my above problem.. can they point me to the right channel? [06:04] do i have to turn on my wireless card somewhere on a ibm r51? wireless was working in windows [06:04] i dont see a wireless light [06:04] how do you download entire folders with sftp? [06:05] pyro... try filezilla. It's a nice open-source ftp client. http://www.filezilla.org I believe is the URL [06:06] Pryo.. Just specify the port number in filezilla as 22 and it will use sftp [06:06] Heanel, I need a cli client [06:06] hello [06:06] Pryo... Filezilla is a client. [06:06] Heane1~ not CLI [06:06] cli = command line [06:06] i need to setup ubuntu as a router [06:06] how can i tell if i can connect to localhost? [06:06] hey people, i have a question, i went to ubuntu and downloaded the latest, only to find out it was an "ios" image, i wiped hard drive and tried to load, says there is no system disk. di i need another format in order for hdd to read from cd?? === Macinposh is now known as CoolFox_hates_u [06:07] deuryte: do you mean "iso" image? [06:07] yes [06:07] Is there any working solution for RTL8187b? Every place I've found from google results in either a) compile errors or b) Invalid driver from NDISWRAPPER [06:07] deuryte: an iso image is meant to be written to a CD or DVD [06:07] I-Hop: This would be an appropriate channel, you could try #ubuntu-server. Not everyone is awake here, obviously, its best to repeat the question every 30 minutes or so, to allow new people to wake up, etc. Also, does MythTV do what you want? I know it theoretically does a bit of that. [06:07] deuryte: then you boot the CD/DVD [06:07] Oh. Sorry Pyro. Why are you not just using mget? [06:07] i want my thinkpad keys to work, but it says it will uninstall ubuntustudio if i install it [06:07] lolight: that'a easy. From where does internet comes? [06:08] Heanel: sftp doesn't have an mget option, the regular get does accept glob expressions, but doesn't do recursive [06:08] journey4712> i did, ill try it again, it just keeps comming up "no operating system" [06:08] Heanel: mget was the command I was looking for. [06:08] deuryte: hmm, well if you already made 1 coaster making more wont do much more than decorations :) [06:08] journey4712: ok made the mount point (/media/nettest) directory then tried to mount //network/Web to that mount point, and got the following "Mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //network/Web, missing codepage or other error?" [06:08] troubled: export DISPLAY :0.0 worked [06:09] lolight: what machines will access internet through the router/ubuntu ? [06:09] journey4712> a have an older 8.04 disk, it is wrtten in cdfs, is that different? [06:09] whiz2: hmm, sounds like cifs isn't loaded, try "modprobe cifs" [06:10] I was trying to fix my screen resolution with "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.cong". I must have done something stupid, because now I can't even see the login-screen because the screen flickers. How can I fix this? [06:10] whiz2: i dont know why they call it cifs, but thats what linux uses for mounting samba [06:10] I have an HP laptop with an internal Broadcom wireless adapter and having a little bit of trouble with it. I have the hardware drivers set up for the adapter and I've installed ndiswrapper with the drivers installed for that. The light comes on for the wireless on the laptop however, it does not detect any wireless access points. Anyone know what the issue could be? I've read through a lot of forums on it and hasn't been much hel [06:10] journey4712: it only returned to the konsole prompt with no output [06:11] can ubuntu act as a secure router along with good squid server? and how can i set it up in a small network with 10 pc. i used to work with mikrotik. it has easy gui to manage the bandwidth alocation per client. does ubuntu has the same interface? [06:11] whiz2: that means it worked :) [06:12] journey4712: as a test... maybe I should try using the linux machine to copy to the samba shared drive from itself? (into a different directory of course) [06:12] journey4712: from local to samba [06:12] Does anyone know how to fix this error for WiFi driver compiling?: *** CFLAGS was changed in 'foo/bar'. Fix it to use EXTRA_CLAGS. Stop. ERROR 2 [06:12] whiz2: perhaps, basically we are just trying to reproduce the behavoir that your seeing over the network(files fail transfering), without involving the network [06:12] whiz2: sounds like it would acomplish the same thing [06:13] or should i dive into complicated cli when migrating my router to the ubuntu? please someone help [06:13] journey4712: right ok hang on i'll let you know if it fails or not [06:13] darkblue_B: no =? [06:13] Heane1, actually that's not the command I need. mget can't download 'non-regular files' how can I get it download folders? [06:14] deuryte: i'm not too familiar with cdfs, looks like its just a layer for reading the different sessions on a disk, shouldn't effect burning it [06:14] troubled: yes = :-) [06:14] pyro: wget can mirror (grab all files of a site) [06:14] darkblue_B: :) [06:14] darkblue_B: < darkblue_B> export DISPLAY=:0.0; did not fix it [06:14] how do you recursively download a file with sftp? I'm doing something wrong here and i'm not sure what it is [06:14] hello [06:14] darkblue_B: I gather you didnt run xhost + before then as the X user :) [06:14] !ekiga [06:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about ekiga [06:15] hello [06:15] troubled: no, the first time I had not yet run xhost+ as the man user [06:15] !sip [06:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about sip [06:15] main [06:15] genii: you can't recursively download files with sftp? I was almost positive you could [06:15] darkblue_B: as for localhost in there, that would require X to be running in listen mode so... Normally :0.0 is all you are supposed to use, but xhost + is really the thing that allowed it. Anyways congrats! :) But dont forget to run "xhost -" now [06:16] pyro: man sftp, there is no mirror or recursive option listed :( [06:16] yea I noticed which seems strange [06:16] lolight: I've only done a small network and never had to control bandwith to each client. I can work fine with iptables (ubuntu firewall) which is probably what you would call complicated "complicated cli" but I've heard that shorewall makes it really easy [06:16] troubled: make sign for data passing over head.. but thx ;-) [06:16] darkblue_B: http://www.xs4all.nl/~zweije/xauth-6.html is probably better for you to read if you want to run any kind of GUI app from the oracle install similar to how you installed it. It teches you how to generate a cookie for oracle user and export it to user "bob" [06:17] darkblue_B: heh, anyways, im out of here. Have fun and gl [06:17] Why can I recursively transmit files with put and not get. that's strange [06:17] I suppose I should do that [06:17] how can i get around this flickering login screen? [06:17] Flannel: question on Acidrip: Preview of video shows movie is encrypted, how can i decode it properly, do u know? [06:17] journey4712: a 701MB file is currently copying from /media/Web/video to //network/Web/New at 1.5 MB/s [06:18] carandraug: hm, i can live with cli acttually. but it might be time consuming. what about webmin? have you used it b4? [06:19] lolight: no. I only had to set networks at home so it's probably a different level from yours. [06:19] !acidrip [06:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about acidrip [06:19] journey4712: copying successfully i might add [06:20] pyro: Can always use scp (supports recursing) [06:20] Carandraug: Alright, I got my menu.lst file up (well, the important parts anyway) [06:20] ok have another Q: my Wifi see a connection but using KWiFi Manager but is say Local IP: unavailable and AcccessPoint Unknown ... Any Ideas ? [06:20] carandraug: one more thing, do you use squid there? [06:21] genii: ah ty. [06:21] whiz2: successfully is interesting, if it makes it all the way through, then my best guess is something changed on the windows clients(new security patches?) because samba isn't having an issue maintaining a full connection [06:21] Hi, Can someone tell me how to figure out what port a program is running on? [06:22] journey4712: question is whether it's doing it through the samba system , locally (because it is a local drive) or through the router back to itself [06:23] whiz2: it shouldn't be going through the router, linux wont send packets over then etwork destined for iteself [06:23] whiz2: as long as its mounted, its definatly going through the samba subsystem [06:24] lolight: no squid, sorry. All I do is configuring iptables to forward packets and to masquerade them [06:24] journey4712: on the windows client I have it mounted as drive Z = //network/Web [06:24] FluxD: Programs normally use a standard port number based on the service they provide or use. ssh=22 dns=53 http=80 and so on. Is it some standard service like this? [06:24] journey4712: so it is mounted as a samba share [06:24] genii, memcached, someone told me something with nmap or netstant, I dont rmember what thats why I am here [06:25] does anyone know how i can get a digital voice recorder to work on linux, its software is not for linux [06:25] FluxD: netstat but it can be difficult to decipher [06:25] What do I do about sites that wont let you register with a gmail account? [06:25] genii, how come? [06:26] journey4712: as a further test, i'musing the windows client to see if I can copy the file from the samba share to my windows desktop [06:26] does converting an mp3 to wav back to mp3 result in a lower-quality mp3 than the original? [06:26] journey4712: note that I can copy the same file from any windows client to another windows client on the exact same network with no problems [06:27] eshaase, all of those are lossy so I think it will [06:27] eshaase: depends on the settings you use to convert it [06:28] how do i get trickle to use scp? [06:28] hi [06:28] huyyyy [06:29] eshaase: most conversion programs that I know of allow you to set the quality of the destination file [06:29] can anyone tell me how to change directory by command line [06:29] I GOT IT!! all i had to do was press the iso-converter button on my keyboard!! whaalaa!! [06:29] cd [06:29] FluxD: You can use also nmap like: nmap -sT -O localhost [06:29] Av1: command cd [06:29] deuryte: do you have such button on your keyboard? wow [06:29] genii, it tells me what port memcached is running on? BTW, memcached requires root privs to run [06:30] halooooow [06:30] hallow ce_mute [06:30] Av1: just like DOS use the cd command [06:30] FluxD: nmap -sT -O localhost | grep memcache if you like [06:30] how do i go to another drive? [06:30] Whiz2: yeah but i did it so long ago i dont' remember [06:30] i downloaded ubuntu iso image, does anyone know easy software to convert , so i can load it on a clean drive? [06:31] genii, I get nothing [06:31] Whiz2: [06:31] Whiz2: you're saying if i use a lossless mp3 encoding then i'm good? [06:31] FluxD, I verified using htop, it is running [06:31] deuryte: Why are you not simply installing it using the installer? [06:31] Hi, i'm using my Mac laptop right now because my Ubuntu computer is flickering at the splash window. Is there a way I can fix this so I can get back into my Ubuntu machine? [06:31] Av1: they're mounted in /media/ [06:31] Av1: cd to it's mount point... for example if your drive is mounted as /media/hdc1 and you are in /media/hdc1 type cd ../hdc1 [06:32] acrousey: Try removing the "splash" kernel parameter from the GRUB menu [06:32] acrousey: Or choose "recovery mode" [06:32] eshaase: I'm saying if you're using a CD quality mp3 converting to CD quality wav, then you need to convert back to a CD quality mp3 to keep the same quality. [06:32] Jordan_U> well, seems like no matter what mirror i went to, all the offered was an iso.. [06:32] jordan_U [06:32] thanks [06:33] thanks [06:33] Hi, i'm having problems with a eth in my server when I do ifconfig i dont see the nic but when i do ifconfig -a i se it eth2_rename_ren [06:33] FluxD: It should by default want port 11211 [06:33] deuryte: What are you trying to accomplish exactly? [06:33] eshaase: there should be a way to check, and modify your quality settings on conversions. just make sure the quality settings match [06:33] genii, okay [06:33] the name of the folder is "oracle setup" how do i access it from command line [06:34] Can someone help me set up compiz fusion? [06:34] Jordan_U> i just wiped laptop hdd, i was trying to load ubuntu, but all i keep getting is an iso download. can i covert this to something else so it will load? [06:34] Zelbinian: What are you having trouble with specifically? [06:34] jordan_U: thanks again! that seemed to do it [06:34] Av1: I dunno how to access folders with spaces in them that way just yet lol [06:34] acrousey: np [06:34] just a _COMPLETLEY_ random poll, BUT does anyone here know what "Warsow" is? [06:34] Well, I don't have anything specific, I just really don't know how to go about it. [06:34] "oracle setup" [06:35] Synaptic says I have everything installed already. [06:35] or [06:35] acrousey: You can make that permanent by editing your /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:35] completes to oracle\ setup [06:35] But . . . I can't seem to figure out how to enable and disable effects. [06:35] deuryte: you need to make a CD or DVD out of that ISO. it is an image of a CD or DVD [06:35] any ideas how I can change the action of the power button when pressed in openbox? [06:35] deuryte: then boot from the cd or dvd to install ubuntu [06:35] can you show me how, or what to get ? [06:36] deuryte: I will give you a link with easy instructions [06:36] deuryte: Nero is one good one, but it's not free [06:36] ok, ready..

This is happens quite often and i never face this problem before [06:37] svensko: Now everyone knows [06:37] mdi_naturalguy: did you recently change any settings or upgrade anything? [06:37] my friend insisted that no one had heard of it, but at least you guys proved him sorta wrong :P [06:38] not really [06:38] how do i see which all drives are mounted [06:38] mdi_naturalguy: download any updates recently? [06:38] Av1: in terminal: mount [06:38] like just now [06:38] Av1: "mount" ( no other options ) [06:38] i have to reformat again and reinstall again [06:38] mdi_naturalguy: how long has it been freezing like that? [06:38] thanks [06:38] after a while suddenly it hangs again' [06:39] until i restart gaain [06:39] mdi_naturalguy: it does this on new installations too? [06:39] mdi_naturalguy: Have you run memtest for a while to test your RAM? [06:39] yes [06:39] it is [06:39] yes. [06:39] mdi_naturalguy: sounds like a possible hardware problem. run memtest to check your RAM [06:39] mdi_naturalguy: Yes to which person / question? :) [06:39] is there any way of finding my drive name [06:40] from mount [06:40] i retext the memtest and [06:40] there is no problem to that [06:40] test [06:40] Av1: Your main driver ( the one you are booted from ) will be mounted on "/" [06:40] *drive [06:40] mdi_naturalguy: it still sounds like a hardware issue. has this always happened? [06:41] only when i used ubuntu [06:41] mdi_naturalguy: what were you using before? [06:41] never happen when i was using other operating system [06:41] vista [06:41] not understood [06:41] or even xp [06:41] mdi_naturalguy: did you ever flash your BIOS while using windows Vista? [06:41] how can I set it up so a shell script uses a proxy for all of its commands and then resets to normal direct connection afterwards? [06:41] do get u [06:42] i am don't get u [06:42] How do I pick and choose compiz fusion effects instead of the coarse-grained "Visual Effects" menu? [06:42] Zelbinian: install compizconfig-settings-manager [06:42] !ccsm | Zelbinian [06:42] Zelbinian: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [06:42] i don't get u .. [06:42] how do i figure out which is the drive that is mounted from mount command [06:42] sorry [06:42] mdi_naturalguy: rephrasing... did you ever update your BIOS or CMOS from a file on the internet while you had Vista installed? [06:42] Thanks [06:42] How do I tell if I am running ubuntu x64? [06:43] not so sure ..i let it to run auto [06:43] hi, whats the theme manager in vista called ? [06:43] so maybe it did [06:43] Av1: Everything listed from the mount command is mounted ( though some things listed are not drives ) [06:43] i am noit sure [06:43] abe3k: wrong room to ask vista questions in lol [06:43] abe3k: ##windows [06:43] i am looking for one drive how do i identify it here [06:43] mdi_naturalguy: if you did auto updates then the answer is no [06:44] whiz2: lol I know but I'm looking for something similar to that blur in vista for compiz [06:44] ok [06:44] so what should i do to overcome this problem [06:44] ls [06:44] mdi_naturalguy: did your computer come with an operating system preinstalled on it? [06:44] abe3k: I've heard it's something liek Aeros but I'm not sure [06:45] whiz2: an effect to blur whatever is behind a window [06:45] Av1: Which drive? The one you are booted from?, an external drive? , Second internal drive? [06:45] Is there a way to turn on/off a proxy in cli [06:45] second internal drive [06:45] abe3k: you mean the glass effect from windows Vista? [06:45] of course , but when i bought this 2nd hand so i do not have the orginail cd or something likr hat [06:45] How do I tell if I am running ubuntu x64? [06:45] whiz2: yup that one :D [06:45] mdi_naturalguy: what operating system was preinstalled? [06:45] whiz2: is there anything for compiz thats similar ? [06:45] xp [06:46] abe3k: I honestly have no idea [06:46] abe3k: I don't know what it's called in Vista but in compiz it's called ( obscurely ) "blur" :) [06:46] Jordan 2nd internal drive [06:46] how to close dvdr disk? [06:46] abe3k: you might check the various themes for it to see if there is something similar available. other than that I'm clueless lol [06:47] whiz2: thanks :) [06:47] abe3k: I had to burn my eyes looking in microsoft site but it seems that it's called Windows Aero [06:47] mdi_naturalguy: how long does ubuntu run after booting up before it hangs? [06:47] abe3k: You may also want to look into emerald theme manager [06:47] Jordan_U : that effect blurrs the whole window [06:47] What does the 'u' stand for in 'gucharmap'? [06:47] abe3k: windows Aero is the name of the theme itself. Not the theme manager [06:47] Jordan_U : emerald has that blur effect ? [06:47] sometimes 15 min or something after few hours.. [06:48] and somethime after i run the application for nuw updates [06:48] Hey, how do we set compiz as default at every startup ??? [06:48] carandraug: lol thanks for doing that xD [06:49] mdi_naturalguy: try downloading and installing the newest version of ubuntu linux, and completely reformat the destination boot drive before installing. That might fix the problem [06:49] is there any website from where i can get command lines for ubuntu [06:49] abe3k: Emerald has the ability to make me think that my glasses are smudged, but only around the border / title of the window ( called window decoration in *NIX speak ) if that's what you mean then yes, there are also vista themes for emerald so if that's not what you are talking about just get one of those and see what option it uses :) [06:49] where can i get the new latest version [06:49] Av1: google for linux commands [06:49] Jordan_U : thanks alot I'll search that up :) [06:49] abe3k: but Aero seems to be more than that. They call glass to the transparent windows if I got it right http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/features/experiences/aero.mspx [06:50] Scorp_: System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Desktop Effects [06:50] mdi_naturalguy: http://www.ubuntu.com [06:50] Crap I think I accidentally installed ubuntu 32-bit, does that mean I have to reinstall if I want x64? [06:50] ok.. [06:50] let me try it first . [06:50] Woher stammt das 'u' in 'gucharmap'? [06:50] Theaxiom: yes i believe so [06:50] thanks guys [06:51] Whiz2: Thanks, darn :( sucks [06:51] Jordan_U: Those are the default ubuntu effects. I'm toking of the one which can be configured wid ccsm.. [06:51] abe3k: I personally hate it, but again the first time I saw Vista I thought my glasses were smudged, maybe for someone who has dirty glasses less often it's not as annoying :) [06:51] man sambafs [06:51] are there any fonts that come with ubuntu that have equivalents on windows and/or osx? [06:51] Jordan_U: I personally like the glass effect of Windows Aero [06:51] oops [06:51] whats the difference between rcp and scp? [06:51] Jordan_U: it's all pweddy :-D [06:52] anyone know if there exists a "Minimal" ubuntu for 64bit? [06:52] has anyone here had the problem where you set an environment variable in .bash_profile, and now it wont unset nor will it be manually set to anything else? [06:52] binskipy2u: What do you mean by minimal? [06:52] I'm having issues with my samba configuration. I can read/write to all shares except my "videos" share (no write access). The configuration is the same for all 3 shares... what gives? Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/m3f7d1195 [06:52] Quiescent: I think that Deja vu is quite similar to Times New Roman. And there's Libertino fonts [06:52] wols_: Hey, can u tell me the launcher for CompizConfig Settings manager ?? and also Emerald theme manager [06:53] Does anyone know if missing codecs (such as mp3) would cause a media server to not transcode? [06:53] Qster: "readlink $(readlink $(which rcp))" :) [06:53] if I download and install unbuntu onto a machine that already has windows on it, will it allow to resize the windows partition (safely) and create a new partition to install ubuntu without losing data in the other partitions? [06:53] anyone? === meoblast001 is now known as dr_robotnik [06:53] Whiz2: yes [06:53] Jordan_U : It worked !, seems that I have to turn the blur option in compiz for the effect to work correctly in emerald :D [06:53] because my $TERM and $LANG variables are stuck [06:53] illmortal: it is possible, but I can't say for sure [06:54] i can see a folder examples [06:54] but i cannot access it from command line why? [06:54] shrimants: "Stuck" in what way? [06:54] balz: thanks [06:54] What does LTS mean? And do I want that version of ubuntu? [06:54] illmortal: yeah that could definitely do it. have you downloaded the ubuntu restricted package? [06:54] Jordan_U: i dont understand so rcp is still scp? why two commands then [06:54] Whiz2... what files/codecs do I need in order to play mp3s? [06:54] illmortal: I don't have that information [06:54] !mp3 | illmortal [06:54] illmortal: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [06:55] illmortal: you'll need the ubuntu restricted multiverse package [06:55] thanks, i'll try those. maybe it will help if i be more specific, i'm designing a webpage and i want it to look as close as it possibly can on windows, linux, and osx, does anyone have any suggestions? [06:55] balz.. no I haven't. So far I have been able to install a codec for amarok but I think I'm missing general codecs. [06:55] illmortal: i forget the package name, but if you go into add/remove software and search for "ubuntu restricted" it should appear [06:55] Jordan_U: basically, $TERM will not unset, reset, or set to anything. it stays with a value of urxvt no matter what i do [06:55] some one help me please === dr_robotnik is now known as MilesProwler [06:55] k ill check it out balz. thanks for your input. [06:55] illmortal: no problem. sounds like that's your problem [06:56] Quiescent: Are you trying to create a webpage that will look exactly the same on all operating systems that view it? [06:56] Av1: maybe because the folder examples is a link [06:56] i can see a directory examples but i cant access it from command line [06:56] similarly, $LANG will not revert to both utf-8 and iso, it stays at just utf-8 [06:56] Thanks guys for the help ! [06:56] i followed the directions here http://wiki.afterstep.org/index.php?title=Rxvt-Unicode_Configuration_Tutorial [06:56] illmortal: add the medibuntu repositories and then when you try to play an mp3 it will find and show you codec packages that have the codecs you need through the package manager [06:56] shrimants: Can you run "script", do some TERM="Hello World" ; echo $TERM and other such tests and pastebin the result? [06:56] Whiz2: yes, that's the goal [06:56] Av1: that folder is actually in /usr/share/example-content [06:56] medibuntu? nice ill check now. [06:56] yeah thanks [06:57] Can anybody help me out with my smb.conf? I have it pastebinned at http://pastebin.com/m3f7d1195 [06:57] Quiescent: Web pages (as far as I know) are not OS specific, but browser specific. [06:57] Jordan_U: i've tried that sort of thing. it sets it in that specific terminal and the changes are reflected if i type just set or export [06:57] hey [06:57] Av1: if you try ls to your home directory you'll notice a different color [06:57] but if i try to use another terminal or echo, it says urxvt [06:57] Whiz2: the thing i'm concerned about is the fonts, Windows, Ubuntu, and OSX don't have the same fonts [06:57] Quiescent: some browsers display web pages differently than others, so I'm not sure it's really possible === MilesProwler is now known as MilesPrower [06:58] Does anyone know where I can get help with PulseAudio? Is there a channel or something? [06:58] I can't find it. [06:58] Quiescent: there should be a generic font you can use, or just use the default font (by not specifying one in the tag) [06:58] balz, I just installed the ubuntu restricted (extras) do I need to do an apt-get update? [06:58] Qster: Same reason ftp links to sftp, "real" rcp is unbelievably insecure [06:59] illmortal: i don't believe so, but it certainly can't hurt [06:59] Does anyone know how to open a Mac pkg file? [06:59] ok [06:59] <_coredump_> moinsen [06:59] Whiz2: that's fine, i've never thought about developing webpages that will look the same on different platforms before, i was just wondering what everyone else does with fonts [06:59] Quiescent: I just don't bother specifying one lol [07:00] balz, now that I have installed, should I shut down the media server then restart? [07:00] PulseAudio help, anyone? [07:00] illmortal: i doubt it'll be necessary. how are you serving the files? [07:00] /msg ubottu etiquette [07:00] I'm using uShare to stream media over to my PS3. [07:01] Jordan_U: any ideas? [07:01] illmortal: try sudo /etc/init.d/ushare restart [07:01] k [07:02] sometimes i will [07:03] shrimants: Do you just want it to be set that way in all shells or in all applications? [07:03] im not sure what it used to be set to, but i think it was just set to xfce4's terminal [07:03] Anyone know how High Precision Event Timer affects ubuntu if it's disabled? [07:04] All of your events will be "slightly" off [07:04] Jordan_U: i just want it to be set back to its original setting, when it would launch xfce's terminal [07:04] shrimants: AHH, $TERM has nothing to do with what X terminal emulator is run by default [07:05] SitUbuntuSit: Really... [07:05] has anyone figured out how to get the latest release candidate of Flash 10 to work in 8.04 and FF 3.0.1 yet? [07:05] Finnish, no [07:05] shrimants: I think you want to look at update-alternatives [07:05] Jordan_U: but if i try to launch weechat "in terminal" then it doesnt work [07:05] well maybe [07:05] anybody here able to help with a samba config problem/ [07:05] i fi try to use nano it fails [07:05] update alternatives? [07:05] Finnish, don't really know much about it [07:06] How can I disable the gesture to switch workspaces (dragging towards the edge of the screen) in Ubuntu using Gnome? [07:06] http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=1101416&mpage=1&key=􌹨 [07:06] what is the difference between ubuntu, edubuntu, and kubuntu? [07:06] i mean, has anyone figured out how to get the latest release candidate of Flash 10 to work in Firefox 3.0.1 in 64-bit 8.04? [07:06] shrimants: Still, that has nothing to do with the $TERM variable ( that variable tells you what shell terminal emulator you are using, it doesn't change what terminal emulator should be started by default if you need another ) [07:06] Whiz2: desktops and apps [07:07] It's related to that post, it seems disabling it makes vista more stable at low latencies (it's for my music making partiotion), otherwise I'm on ubuntu [07:07] Whiz2: ubuntu uses gnome and GTK apps, kubuntu uses KDE and qt apps, and edubuntu uses gnobe (afaik) and it's more geared towards education [07:07] balz: I've never used gnome before. How drastically different is it from KDE? [07:08] when a drive is mounted [07:08] where is it mounted? [07:08] lol, i haven't used KDE in a long time [07:08] Av1: Usually /media [07:08] Whiz2: it looks fairly different. I'm sure if you google imaged it you'd get a good idea. [07:08] Av1: Or rather, a subdirectory in /media [07:08] Whiz2: i've found that gnome is usually better supported, but support for KDE is certainly out there [07:09] Whiz2: what are you trying to do with your ubuntu box? [07:09] Av1: You can also choose the mount point yourself I usually mount them to a subdirectory in /media [07:09] Hey, whats the best way to put photos on my iPod in Ubuntu? [07:09] how do you mount yourself [07:10] and it is showing 2 cdroms where as i have only one [07:10] balz: I'm more or less trying to use it the way i use my windows PC. to browse the web, access my network, play games, listen to music, etc... but I'm not very educated on the linux command line stuff [07:10] deltaslaya: probably gtkpod, but i don't have any experience, so not entirely sure [07:10] how do you mount a drive by command [07:10] ah damn... I found out that uShare is specifically for XBOX and transcoding is completely different for PS3. uShare is useless lol. [07:11] Back to the buggy and slow, "mediatomb' [07:11] Daisuke_Ido: AFAIK gtkpod doesn't support photos? I tried gpixpod but the pictures on the ipod come out all distorted? [07:11] ah... not sure then [07:12] balz: I need something that will let me do it all from the GUI, and still allow the use of advanced, and admin stuff [07:12] Whiz2: well not to discourage you, but you shoudl think carefully about that. I tried, and found that strange issues can pop up (stuff like MS word document compatability) ... but i'd stick with gnome just bc of the support [07:12] Whiz2: and that's another thing. Sooner or later you will use the command line [07:12] jordan how do you mount a drive from command line [07:12] balz: what kinds of things does gnome support that KDE doesn't? [07:12] Av1: First you need to know 3 things. The filessytem type. The /dev name of the block device. And the directory you are mounting it underneath. Then you do: sudo mount -t filesystem-name /dev/its-devname /its-mounting-directory [07:13] balz: yes I know I will use the command line, but the less I have to the better, because unlike dos, it's very confusing lol [07:13] balz: he can have both gnome and kde installed and have both KDEs programmmes [07:13] Av1: sudo mount /dev/ /mountpint [07:13] and gnomes [07:13] Whiz2: they are both very mature, but with regards to ubuntu, you'll find more help, more readily if you stick with gnome [07:13] OK, can anyone give me a suggestion for how to get photos on my iPod? [07:13] CostaRainQuaker: that's also true [07:13] Av1: If it's ext/ext3/ext3 you don't need the -t filesystem-name part as Jordan_U just showed the syntax as [07:14] Whiz2: i'd really stick with gnome. the forums are more populated as are the irc channels. it's not that gnome can do something that kde can't ... it's just that i've found that more pple use gnome, at least for ubuntu [07:14] *ext2/ext3 [07:14] How can I disable the gesture to switch workspaces (dragging towards the edge of the screen) in Ubuntu using Gnome? [07:14] (put ext3 twice earlier) [07:14] its NTFS [07:14] superpushy [07:14] deltaslaya: if it mounts as a removeable drive then just copy/paste [07:14] Whiz2: this channel is actually for ubuntu... I believe you'd have to go to #kubuntu for kde related issues. Not taht you're not welcome here or anything [07:15] balz: hmm... maybe they can help me with my other problem from earlier [07:15] genii: In fact most file systems don't require -t explicitly [07:16] Whiz2: definitely worth a try [07:16] Jordan_U: It will try to decide what to use but often fails [07:16] balz: thanks I'll switch channels :-D [07:16] Whiz2: be sure to tell them whether you're using kde3 or kde4 [07:16] Whiz2: np. good luck! it does get easier [07:16] Whiz2: But how can I do it in a way so I can access them on the iPod? [07:16] balz: I'm using an old version of kubuntu 6.06.2 lol [07:17] update that! [07:17] Whiz2: ditch it and get the latest version. That's going to probably eliminate half of yoru problems [07:17] deltaslaya: Never used the program myself so I don't know what features it has but have you tried gtkpod? [07:17] deltaslaya: honestly the only way I know to mess with an iPod is through iTunes on a windows machine [07:18] balz: I'm not putting the newest version onto a 400mhtz machine with 256MB of ram... doubt it would run very well lol [07:18] Whiz2: try xubuntu [07:18] and btw, KDE is a memory whore compared to gnome [07:18] balz: another problem is that changing my version may undo a lot of the things I had to do in order to get the server to work in the first place... [07:19] Whiz2: This is Linux, Hardy will probably run just as fast if not a little faster than Dapper, and if not like mentioned before you should go with Xubuntu anyway [07:19] gnome is a memory whore compared to fluxbox [07:19] ppl [07:19] how do i remove pidgin manually? [07:19] Do you think Xubuntu Alternative will work on a 500mhz 192 mb RAM [07:19] rgnr: manually? [07:19] system [07:19] Whiz2: ActionParsnip is right, but I find that fluxbox is a bit harsh on newer users. I'd try xubuntu first and if that's still too heavy, try fluxbuntu [07:19] rgnr: What do you mean "manually" ? [07:19] Just my opinion though [07:20] HelloHelloHello: yes, use the alternate CD to install. [07:20] OK because the regular one on a live cd was sloooooow [07:20] UGH, Screem keeps crashing [07:20] Jordan_U: i installed it with make [07:20] iamas: you have compiz setting manager installed? [07:20] I use to have Windows 2k Pro on it will it run as good a Windows [07:20] HelloHelloHello: yeah, thats expected on only 192MB [07:21] I have a fresh Hardy Heron install [07:21] balz and Jordan_U: updating and changing version is all fine and dandy, but I have no idea how I would get the system back to it's current configuration so that it works like it should... it took a LOT of work, and physical help from others to configure it [07:21] HelloHelloHello: full install will run a lot smoother [07:21] so if that means I do then yes [07:21] Jordan_U: so i cannot remove it in regular way as it is not officially installed [07:21] balz: Fluxbuntu is dead as far as I can tell, they released their "rc" for 7.10 and still haven't done anything since [07:21] full install instead of what? [07:21] Jordan_U: shows you how much I use it ;-) [07:21] iamas, then go to add/remove and search for ccsm [07:21] Whiz2: you could start by just installing the xfce desktop and using that on your current install [07:21] iamas: open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [07:22] ah thx [07:22] rgnr: Hopefully it installed to /usr/local/? [07:22] Whiz2: and then upgrading to the latest version [07:22] removing it will make the gestures go away? [07:22] Flannel: /usr/bin/ [07:22] iamas: no. You have to install it. It doesn't come by default [07:22] what flash do I install? [07:22] Do you think it will be able to run starcraft or any other old games under wine or is that to processor intesive. Sorry for all the question I just want to see what it can can't do. [07:22] ah thanks [07:22] Whiz2: Though far from guaranteed I would guess that 90 % of the problems you had with 6.04 will not exist in 8.04 [07:23] balz: how do I do that? and if the desktop change, or upgrade screws something up, can I go back? [07:23] does anyone know if Fuppes is more light weight than Mediatomb? [07:23] Whiz2: yeah you'll still have kde to revert to. and the upgrade really shouldn't screw much up. Is this your primary workstation/ [07:23] ? [07:23] rgnr: ... that's wrong, to begin with. Locally compiled stuff go to /usr/local/{bin,lib,etc}. Do you still have the source? if so, is there a make clean? [07:23] I have three choices... abode flash, gnash swf player, or swfdec player for adobe/macromedia [07:23] balz: no it is a dedicated web server [07:23] MonthOLDpickle: I'd go with Adobes [07:23] nope [07:24] Flannel: nope [07:24] Whiz2: the main point is that if you have anything critical on it, it should be backed up no matter what. Especialy since you're still starting out with linux [07:24] MonthOLDpickle: gnash and swfdec still arent 100%... not that adobes is either :D [07:24] balz: 10 years old at that lol [07:24] Whiz2: And you can always try it out on the ( though it will be painfully slow on your comp, running from CD is especially taxing on older systems so don't let it fool you into thinking an installed system will be as sluggish ) LiveCD to see that everything works [07:24] rgnr: Alright, well, either grab it again, and hope there's a make clean, if there's not, or you don't feel like it, you get to delete everything manually. [07:24] lol [07:24] MonthOLDpickle: install the latest version of Flash 10, you can find a tutorial on how to do it online, Flash 9 constantly crashes in Firefox [07:24] Flannel: and how do i do that? [07:24] Whiz2: I can't guarantee taht nothing will break, but in my opinion upgrades solve problems. They rarely create them [07:25] Jordan_U: you are missing the point [07:25] Hello all, I need to get ubuntu update (specifically the build essential package) but I need to get it through windows. I can not get ubuntu to recognize my dialup modem or wifi. so I have to go through windows. === MilesPrower is now known as meoblast001 [07:25] Whiz2: That being? [07:25] rgnr: Do what? remove stuff manually? with rm, and... patience. [07:25] hmm i'm having an issue mounting a samba share using the hostname of the computer. I am issuing the following command: #mount -t smbfs -o username=user,password=pass //hostname/share /mnt/share [07:26] hi, can someone give me a hint on how do I launch a sequence of commands with "nohup" ? [07:26] Detrix: You can generate a list of URL's to download packages from with Synaptic in Ubuntu [07:26] the same command works when using the IP [07:26] Jordan_U: it's not the computer itself I'm worried about working with the upgrade... it's the webserver configuration, symbolic links/directories, email server, and VNC setup for my desktop that can not change, or I will never figure out how to get it back [07:26] I would like to launch many of them in sequence, and being able to disconnect from the console [07:27] Jordan: thanx [07:27] Jordan_U: those things have to be exactly the same, or better after an upgrade [07:27] Whiz2: You can do a complete backup of your install with partimage then try an upgrade and go back to 6.04 if the upgrade fails [07:28] Whiz2: you could backup the relevant config files [07:28] Since I am on windows at this moment, and anyone give me the URL for the build essential package??? [07:28] Flannel: you mean just rm all files in here? http://paste.ubuntu.com/39310/ [07:28] Detrix: have you considered installing it via SSH? [07:28] Detrix: Problem is that it isn't as single package so there are multiple URL's [07:28] balz: since i dunno what those files are, I would have to backup the entire linux partition. [07:28] Whiz2: you should start by looking those up [07:29] hi all [07:29] Jordan_U: thanx [07:29] rgnr: Those would be some of them, but not all of them. [07:29] Jordan_U: can it be backed up to a network drive then made into a bootable disc? [07:29] Flannel: but those r the only ones he located i don't need to remove dependencies cuz i [07:29] rgnr: the best thing is probably to download the same version you had, do make, but not make install, and then get a list of files from that make, and then delete them in the real filesystem [07:30] balz: I didn't do the config stuff myself, and dunno what all programs are involved in everything that was done, so i have nothing to really base my searches on [07:30] Flannel: gonna compile a newer version [07:30] rgnr: Right, but not everything that pidgin installed has "pidgin" in the name. [07:30] rgnr: Don't compile. Use packages. Can't you tell how much of a headache this is? [07:31] balz: if I were to backup, i would rather just backup the installation drive where the config files are stored [07:31] Whiz2: A bootable internal hard disk yes, a bootable DVD or USB drive would be possible but far too much work to be worth it [07:31] Flannel: but compiling adopts the package to that specific machine [07:31] that works [07:32] rgnr: You won't see any/much benefit, but if you'd like, would you like to buy the golden gate bridge? [07:32] Flannel: what is that? [07:32] Jordan_U: i can't make a backup CD from the linux machine as it only has cd-rom. the only way to back it up is to a network share on one of my windows clients [07:33] anyone have an idea on my smb issue [07:33] okeefferd: what is the issue? [07:33] Whiz2: You can back up the image partimage creates to anything you want [07:34] Flannel: btw there's no pidgin 4.5 for ubuntu yet [07:34] I am issuing the following command: #mount -t smbfs -o username=user,password=pass //hostname/share /mnt/share [07:34] Whiz2: You can only easily restore it to and boot from another internal HD ( you can restore it to whatever you want as well, it just won't be bootable ) [07:34] but it seems to be upset [07:34] if i use the ip address instead of hostname it works fine [07:34] you're issuing the command with # on it? [07:35] no thats just the prompt [07:35] sorry [07:35] oh gotcha [07:35] Jordan_U: I want to be able to use a bootable CD to restore it [07:35] use the ip then. the other machine must have nmbd or some such name daemon running [07:35] Whiz2: You would be able to use the standard Ubuntu ( or any other distro ) LiveCD and partimage to restore it [07:35] rgnr: At the very least, in the future always use /usr/local [07:36] it doesnt work with dns resolution? [07:36] hi [07:36] rgnr: You mean 2.5 ? [07:36] not unless you have an entry in your hosts file [07:36] dumb quesition: how do you exit a man page? [07:36] rgnr: http://www.getdeb.net/app/Pidgin [07:36] balz, press 'q' [07:36] join #openchrome [07:36] Hi guys, is there any "Throw window" method that I can use with hardy ? [07:36] hmmm, that sux [07:37] balz: could I upgrade kubuntu to say... xubuntu just by using the latest xubuntu install CD? [07:37] balz: press Q [07:37] Whiz2: yeah [07:37] does smbmount treat it similarly or might that be a solution [07:37] Help: how can I edit and save a protected script file? [07:37] okeefferd, smbmount its what mount uses when you specify -t i believe [07:37] Whiz2: wait. are you trying to upgrade your current installation/ [07:37] ah [07:37] ahhh flash is crashing on dailyshow and colbert report... emergency.... emergency.... [07:37] alistair_: What file are you trying to edit specifically? [07:38] is there a way i can copy an ubuntu installation currently installed on my HDD onto an external HDD so i can boot from it? or do i have to reinstall it? [07:38] Jordan_U, script file /usr/bin/compiz [07:38] well then, besides adding the ip and name to the hosts do you know of any wya to mount a share using the hostname? [07:38] okeefferd, you MAY be able to use dns, if your router supports it [07:38] it does, pfsense :) [07:38] for example, i can do computername.gateway.2wire.net, its something my router does [07:39] Hey Jordan_U, you know of any program that gives a throw window effect ? [07:39] yea, and I know it works as I can ssh to user@hostname and it works [07:39] alistair_: "gksudo gedit /usr/bin/compiz" ( If you are unblacklisting your card remember not to make a bug report if there are any compiz problems, you are warned :) [07:40] abe3k: Describe the effect, what does it do? [07:40] Jordan_U: how will it get unblacklisted if there are no bug reports? :) [07:40] how do I know what version of mysql-server i'm using? [07:40] Jordan_U, OK tks. [07:40] how do i add a password to a user i created via command line? [07:40] Jordan_U: I grab a window, drag it for a little while and leave it move then it stops by itself [07:40] alistair_: np :) [07:41] is it not possible to load more than 4 keyboard layouts? [07:41] balz, passwd username [07:41] arktvrvs: do i need sudo for that? [07:41] yes [07:41] Jordan_U: kinda like throwing the windows from place to place [07:41] abe3k: Wobbly windows does that, but also makes your windows wobbly :) I don't know if there is a plugin that just does that but I would expect there is [07:42] i am trying to add a upload page to my websight but it dosent work [07:42] what web development IDE does everyone recommend? [07:42] Is it possible to turn one screen in my dual monitor setup off with a command or something like that? That is, not having to restart X11. [07:42] Jordan_U: I liked the wobbly window throw method but the window moves only for a short distance [07:42] arktvrvs: i'm lost (already lol). What do I type verbatim? [07:43] balz, sudo passwd username [07:43] abe3k: Have you tried changing the viscosity and other settings in ccsm ? [07:43] hello, did you have any issue with Java on Ubuntu 8.04.1 (Header 2.6.24-19)? [07:44] arktvrvs: got it. i'm a bit slow today [07:44] no problem [07:44] many times after I had a successful run on the JRE then suddenly it stopped working. [07:44] Jordan_U: yeah tried changing the parameters but nothing extended the distance :( [07:44] arktvrvs: how can I make a particular user an administrator over cli? [07:45] How do I setup an ubuntu computer to be browse-able on the network? [07:45] Jordan_U, Tks that worked, but the change of video to VIA didnt. Pity :-( [07:45] i need to unzip a file [07:45] how do i do it [07:45] Av1: Double click it [07:45] Av1: right click on it [07:46] My monitor settings are for 50 hz, but my monitor is rated for 60 hz, how can I set the monitor to 60hz? [07:46] Av1: tar -zxvf [filename] [07:46] how do I know if bsd process accounting is enabled on my ubuntu machine? [07:46] Av1: choose one... ;P [07:46] Theaxiom: you need to setup samba server and some of the options [07:46] Gumby: thanks [07:46] What command do i use to make a user an administrator?

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [07:49] Av1, evidently you dont have the correct permissions to [07:50] no arkt thats not the case [07:50] djhash: apt-cache search libcurl [07:50] djhash: or search in Synaptic [07:51] Av1, have you sudo'd?

I want to make sure that my user owns a particular drive (/media/500gb) [07:51] ianm_: the only thing I get is libcurl3.. but even after installing it ./configure still tells me that libcurl is not installed [07:51] would a command such as sudo apt-get upgrade do an upgrade of my version of ubuntu straight from the internet, or do I have to actually upgrade using an installation CD? [07:51] what directory cant you get to Av1 [07:52] djhash: What are you trying to compile? === andy_ is now known as themanis [07:52] a directory on my disk [07:52] Jordan_U: oddcastv2_xmms plugin.. [07:52] my fans are staying on 24/7 at full tilt, can someone help me? I am using Ubuntu hardy [07:52] is it not possible to load more than 4 keyboard layouts? === andy_ is now known as themanis [07:53] Whiz2: from the internet [07:53] BigBuddha: what fans are you talking about specifically? Chassis fans? [07:53] Av1, sudo [07:53] yes, the two in the box [07:53] for example sudo ls /etc/blah/whatever [07:53] ianm_: so use sudo apt-get upgrade? [07:53] Whiz2: yes, the 2 in the box [07:54] Whiz2: there are graphical ways to do it... [07:54] Whiz2: That won't upgrade your system to hardy, just the latest updates for dapper [07:54] BigBuddha: far as I know, as long as your computer is powered on, and not in a sleep, or suspend state those fans are supposed to stay on. mine only go off if I shutdown, put my PC to sleep [07:54] Whiz2: why not use the graphical tools for that? [07:55] I hate asking stupid questions but how do I get flash player to work? [07:55] Whiz2: And if anyone told you to change your sources.list from dapper to hardy before doing that don't do it and slap them in the face, if not then ignore this comment completely :) [07:55] Whiz2, naw mate, these arent supposed to be running like this, they only started doing this recently, it cuases the pc to freeze sometimes [07:55] Jordan_U: i want a complete system upgrade without using an installation CD if possible. I can change the desktop later [07:55] !upgrade | Whiz2 [07:55] Whiz2: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [07:55] BigBuddha: then it's possible something is heating your system up (which would cause the fans to spin like that) [07:55] any idea why firefox crashes when i load a myspace page? [07:56] have flash 10 [07:56] Qster: It's trying to do you a favor :) ? [07:56] bad flash code? [07:56] YEah [07:56] why? [07:56] I think [07:56] its all about [07:56] flashy thingys [07:56] Apolinario: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:56] cya [07:56] Qster: I see crashes due to flash now too [07:56] crashes the same for me on opera with flash 10 as well [07:56] Flannel: hey, hows it going, is there anyway you could help with my fan problem? or how can i check to see whats causing it? [07:56] i think it's a problem with flash 10 [07:57] avinash@avinash-desktop:/media/disk-1$ cd /OracleSetup bash: cd: /OracleSetup: No such file or directory [07:57] how do you even get flash to work [07:57] avinash@avinash-desktop:/media/disk-1$ cd /OracleSetup bash: cd: /OracleSetup: No such file or directory [07:57] Av1, then the directory doesn't exist. [07:57] BigBuddha: fans being on shouldn't cause the PC to freeze... they only aid in cooling. [07:57] I've been trying to get flash 9 to run as a plug-in for firefox, but I can't get it to work [07:58] it does exist [07:58] nihl: download the .tar.gz from Adobe, open it, run the script [07:58] Av1, type ls / [07:58] Av1: Try without the leading / [07:58] You wont see it there [07:58] I ran it in a terminal [07:58] hello for some reason.. i stuck while booting.. [07:58] it said installation is complete [07:58] Hi---silly question, but how can I push a window up past the top of the screen? Non-resizable installer that has the "next" button at the bottom. [07:58] Flannel, hmmm, well i know there must be something wrong, because now the fans are deafening [07:58] same [07:58] lachlan, i had that problem. increase your screen resolution [07:58] and i dont want to force to shudown the laptop.. how can i restart or something if im in.. mespejel_laptop login: [07:58] what should i use [07:58] lachlan: Hold alt and drag it [07:58] to boot or restart [07:58] I deleted xpti.dat like it said [07:58] whatever i just want to get out of here [07:59] meshuga_, login and type sudo reboot [07:59] same problem [07:59] BigBuddha: I won't argue that. Check your BIOS-y stuff? I know some bios things (I know you're using EFI, but there's probably an equivalent?) handle the fan states. [07:59] Jordan_U: That's what I'm doing---it won't let the top of the window past the panel. [07:59] i try sudo reboot [07:59] didnt work [07:59] and whenever I run anything with flash it says I need to install it [07:59] mespejel: Didn't work in what way? [07:59] !flash | nihl [07:59] nihl: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [07:59] mespejel: Did you log in first? [07:59] ubottu: thanks [07:59] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [07:59] lachlan - You're holding Alt and clicking anywhere on the window? (Not just the titlebar?) [07:59] Yeah. [07:59] Flannel, ok so its in dos right [08:00] Hello. Recently I've noticed that Ubuntu has become exceedingly slow. Things like starting a terminal or a browser can take 20 seconds, and heavier stuff like starting Gparted just doesn't happen. What can be causing this annoyance? [08:00] And the screen res thing won't let me make it any higher. [08:00] BigBuddha: er.. no, not DOS. BIOS. But, I'm not sure what EFI's equivlaent is. [08:00] hmmm [08:00] lachlan: There's an option in the gconf-editor that allows windows to go above the top. Can't remember where it is off the top of my head though.... [08:00] jordan. im stuck in CLI.. while booting. i dont know why i and i dont want to make a force shutdown.. so my state now is... mespejel-laptop login: [08:00] what should i use to boot or to reboot [08:00] lachlan: In ccsm uncheck "constrain" for the "move" plugin [08:00] meshuga_, you have to log in first [08:00] meshuga_, with your username and password [08:01] blah [08:01] mespejel, that was for you [08:01] ok [08:01] cssm? [08:01] mespejel: tru to login using yyour account [08:01] Achoth: run gnome-system-monitor and look for CPU usage, heavy disk usage, etc. [08:01] oh [08:01] Whoops. [08:01] mespejel: Type your user name, hit enter, it will ask you for your password [08:01] Flannel: how could i check to see what might be causing it to overheat? [08:01] ok done [08:01] thank you [08:01] welcome [08:01] "shutdown -r now" will restart your laptop [08:01] should i create a directory by mkdir and then try [08:01] I don't think I'm using compiz...or is it in the default now? [08:01] why sometimes i get files created that are such like file.blah and file.blah~ [08:02] BigBuddha: I have no idea. If the fans are on full blast, it shouldn't be overheating. [08:02] lachlan: It's the default now. [08:02] Flannel: acidrip works, i just hadnt installed the w32codecs [08:02] hehe [08:02] good night [08:02] Achoth: when it gets slow does the hard drive make lots of noise? [08:02] * jimenez is a putz [08:02] Flannel, i mean something might be causing them to go at it like that [08:02] lachlan: Plus I think that metacity doesn't constrain windows by default while compiz does :) [08:02] Thanks for the help [08:02] ianm_: Nothing uses alot of processor, and nothing uses alot of RAM. [08:02] ianm_: No, it's perfectly quiet === andy_ is now known as themanis [08:03] Flannel: thanks for the upgrades page, but it won't help me very much as I have to upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10 and 6.10 is no longer supported so I can't seem to get upgrade information that way... (it says only u pgrade in increments of fresh) [08:03] Whiz2: No. 6.06 to 8.04 upgrade is supported [08:03] Argh, I'm having the same problem in the appearance box. [08:03] ianm_: In fact I think my entire computer has gone slow for some reason, XP won't even boot correctly. [08:03] Time to give it a try over SSH. [08:03] Whiz2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades#Network%20upgrade%20for%20Kubuntu%20desktops%20(recommended) [08:04] Achoth: you might want to add System Monitor to your panel and watch for any (; suspicious behavior ;) [08:04] ianm_: Already done sir :) [08:04] Whiz2: er, I think I gave you the wrong link. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades#Upgrade%20from%206.06%20LTS%20to%208.04%20LTS [08:04] thanks [08:04] Flannel, i'll check the BIOS, but another issue is that my sound isnt right, it is turned up all the way but its as if its at 40% [08:04] how to install iso file [08:05] navjot, you burn it to a cd as ISO image [08:05] Whiz2: Oh, you are using 6.06 ?! As a server? Make sure that ssh is not open to the internet and upgrade as soon as possible, there was a serious security vulnerability that was fixed in ssh that I believe 6.06 is vulnerable to ( but not 6.04, which I thought was what you had ) [08:05] <[matrim]> Hi, I'm having some trouble mounting /dev/sdb1 on my 8.04 server [08:05] Achoth: if it's flaky in Windows also, you might want to unplug it, open it up, and make sure all the wires are tight, nothing is sparking, etc. [08:05] how can i check which process is going on and what is the status [08:05] Av1, top [08:05] Av1: gnome system monitor [08:05] arktvrvs i don't have writer other way plz [08:06] Jordan_U: i have it set so that I can login from the internet using SSH as the server is DMZ [08:06] Jordan_U: never been hacked [08:06] How do i setup 3 seagate SCSI drives with jumper assignments on a three plug cable. Thanks [08:06] !volume control [08:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about volume control [08:06] navjot, the only other thing you can do is mount it into a filesystem [08:06] but you likely wont be able to install from it [08:06] ianm_: Something that may be suspicious is that when I try to do something like open a terminal or browser, the processor isn't used at all for 15 seconds... then when the application is actually opening processor usage is 50% for half a second... It's like Ubuntu is waiting to start the application [08:06] since its meant to be booted [08:07] ianm_: That I shall do [08:07] arktvrvs how to mount ut [08:07] arktvrvs how to mount it [08:07] Jordan_U: do I *need* to close ssh off from the internet before upgrading? [08:07] navjot, use mount with -o loop === narg_ is now known as narg [08:08] like mount -t iso9660 -o loop /path/to/file /mountpoint [08:08] i think its iso9660.. or cd9660? [08:08] iso [08:08] Whiz2: I guess a few more hours can't hurt, but you may have been compromised already and just don't know it [08:08] arktvrvs i can't understand i m new to linux can u explain plz [08:08] navjot, yes i can explain. "You have to burn that ISO onto a cd." end of story [08:09] The non-graphical installer wont get pass the partitioner here... it did before? There is no output on why [08:09] sebrock: do you have a root partition? [08:09] Whiz2: Let me check that 6.06 is in fact vulnerable [08:09] <[matrim]> how can I check what FileSystem a partition is? [08:09] hi all! Does anyone know why my laptop battery with ubuntu last only 1h45' and with winzozz more than 3hrs? Thanks! [08:09] [matrim], type df in terminal [08:09] Whiz2, Jordan_U: Dapper is safe [08:09] Flannel: yes ext3 on / [08:09] what driver should i use for Canon ip1700? [08:09] Hello, I'm reading a book (LDD Linux Device Drivers) and I want to start doing some of the examples. In the book, it tells me to build my own kernel so that I can have the proper headers, but reading some other discussions, it tells me I just need the kernel headers package (check), how do I properly link to them? [08:09] arktvrvs thanks for this story [08:10] Flannel: even guided wont work [08:10] Flannel: Whiz2 Sorry, my bad, I forgot that 6.06 was what should have been 6.04 but got delayed, I was thinking that you were using edgy :) [08:10] <[matrim]> arktvrvs, I meant how do I check that file sustem a partition is so that I can mount it [08:10] sebrock: file a bug on LP, they'll give you magic juju to type to to find out the secret error (or at least, why there is no displayed error, etc) [08:10] Jordan_U: nope it is dapper [08:10] [matrim], ohh, hm not sure. what do you think the filesystem is? [08:11] after kernel update i misscalibrated my screen res where can i fix it? [08:11] Flannel: uh... worked before... suckage [08:11] Whiz2: Now that I have made you sweat a little, you can upgrade directly to hardy in one step :) [08:11] Jordan_U: lmao [08:11] Whiz2: LTS to LTS can be done in one step, other releases cannot [08:11] Jordan_U: I already mentioned that [08:11] <[matrim]> I'm almost 100% sure it's ext3, it's supose to be the backup drive, so I want to mount it, but mount commands sais it's wqrong FS or bad superblock on /dev/sdb1 when I try to mount using -t ext3 [08:11] Jordan_U: keep up with the times :) [08:12] [matrim], have you tried ext2 or reiserfs? [08:12] so, how long have you guys been running Ubuntu? [08:12] Jordan_U: yeah the website I'm looking at tells me I can upgrade directly to 8.04 LTS without going incrementally [08:12] sebrock: Did you create the partition in the parittioner? Ubiquity had that bug (not that debinstall and ubiquity are related in any way, but who knows) [08:12] <[matrim]> arktvrvs : same result [08:12] nihl: Chatting stuffs is in #ubuntu-offtopic, since its far too busy here [08:13] Jordan_U: I honestly didn't even realize I had a lts (long term) installation until today lol [08:13] <[matrim]> arktvrvs : I created it during the server install and I don't see any other choice I could have made except ext3, thats why I'm so confused [08:13] [matrim], you might not have the device name entirely correct [08:13] Whiz2: It's a good thing, otherwise you would have been forced to upgrade a long time ago :) [08:14] or the filesystem is corrupt. not sure what the deal is. [08:14] <[matrim]> arktvrvs : fdisk -l line ( /dev/sdb1 0+ 30393 30394- 244139773+ 83 Linux ) [08:14] anyone know of an open source mail client that will work with a microsoft exchange server? [08:14] jordan how do I find the free space on my installation drive without it combining the free space of each thing mounted in /media? [08:14] ahh well [08:15] Whiz2: df -h will show per device space left [08:15] how can i check if my user owns a drive? [08:15] Jordan_U: thanks [08:15] Whiz2: np [08:15] <[matrim]> arktvrvs : thanks anyway [08:16] is it possible to down load a package which plays FM radio [08:16] Newbuntu2: Evolution would be your best bet. And it's rude to cross post. [08:16] oh goodness... will it run on a system with a 3.7GB hard drive? I've only got 897MB left free... that's not good [08:17] I'm trying to get Ubuntu to display VLC on my 2nd X-screen (screen 1) when inserting a DVD [08:17] lol, Whiz2, you might be in the market for some new hardware =) [08:17] Whiz2: xubuntu will require less, but Kubuntu takes 2.1G on a fresh install. [08:17] I'm using nVidia Binary drivers, using Xinerama with 2 different X-displays. [08:17] Ubunto 8.04 [08:17] is it possible to play FM radio by downloading a pacakge [08:18] So I can't for the life of me figure out why only one of my smb shares won't grant me write access... the only thing that's different about it is the drive it's on. smb.conf here: http://pastebin.com/m3f7d1195 [08:18] Flannel: its the partitioner in the installer [08:18] Avl, do you have an fm-radio hardware? [08:18] no i dont [08:18] how do i check the version sound card i have in the terminal? [08:18] Flannel: it's taking up 2.7 right now out of 3.7 [08:18] Avl, then you should look for stations that allso broadcast online in a suitable streaming format [08:18] jorrit_: Is it a combined display ( can you move windows from one to the other ) ? [08:19] Jordan_U, Yes it is [08:19] jorrit_: Then I don't know, might try devilspie [08:19] hi, I've a pc which can be used by many users. Does somebody know if it is possible to hide an external hd to some of the users(but not all)? Thank you [08:19] what about gkrellm-radio [08:20] LOL now it doesnt even find the ISO anylonger [08:20] what a joke [08:20] Avl, you'd need proper hardware to receive FM-radio.

[08:23] Lol it's me again. Quick question. You know how I was trying to install Ubuntu to a flash drive? Is it possible to just install it? Because it gave me some problems. In fact they even have a utility out there that someone made that installs Linux to a flash drive. So is it even possible to just install Ubuntu to a flash drive or do I have to go through some kind of complicated, special process?

It mostly works if you have general questions. For really specific ones, it's best to ask a forum, if a query on Google doesn't return anything useful [08:26] googling for "CPIO file" tells you exactly what it is in the very first link [08:27] *punches samba in the face [08:27] I'm running Ubuntu 8.04.

[08:49] i should have asked here for help, i never thought about it [08:49] can nvidea package be used for ATI? [08:50] Av1: no [08:50] BiBuddha, you can pass lots of command-line parameters to VLC [08:50] BigBuddha: fix what? [08:50] wols what do i use then? [08:50] Av1: depends what you want to change [08:50] wols the sound is faint in vlc [08:50] for changing the graphics setting [08:50] i was installing ubuntu on a friends machine and he has an ATI X1300 something or other. it would start up fine but then when you installed the restricted drivers the entire screen would turn white but you could still click around like everything was there, it was just all white [08:50] BigBuddha: check other programs. same faint sound? [08:50] Av1: Check under preferences, under fonts. There's a subpixel rendering/anti aliasing config [08:50] wols: just a sec [08:51] BigBuddha, choose the option "-volume 512" for instance [08:51] after a restart the login screen would come up but once you logged in the same thing would happen and the entire screen would turn white [08:51] Av1: WHAT settings [08:52] jorrit: it is already at 512 [08:52] hello one question.. if install xfce to ubuntu.. would be the same as xubuntu? will look the same? [08:52] Quiescent: Sounds like a compiz problem, try disabling compiz [08:52] mespejel: Yes, install xubuntu-desktop [08:52] also, i still can't figure out how to install the latest flash 10 release candidate in firefox on 64-bit ubuntu 8.04 [08:52] BigBuddha, does this only occur within VLC? No other programs having trouble with sound? [08:52] mespejel: if yu install xubuntu-desktop. some gnome remnants might be in RAM still, some gnome programs loaded in background basically [08:52] jorrit_: i am trying out amarok now [08:53] i see [08:53] Quiescent: Thought the compiz problem would be a direct result of driver problems [08:53] Quiescent: there is no 64bit flash [08:53] Jordan_U, that's the thing, it wasn't enabled to begin with. I even tried uninstalling it through the package manager but it still just gave a white screen [08:53] wols_: Not when you log in to xfce, no. [08:53] BigBuddha, linux has lots of sound-daemons, your problem may be tied to the one VLC is currently using [08:53] jorrit_: it is only in vlc [08:53] Flannel: not even background stuff, like hal, dbus or whatever? [08:53]  Av1: Check under preferences, under fonts. There's a subpixel rendering/anti aliasing configv [08:53] so pure xubuntu may be still faster than ubuntu with xfce [08:53] ? [08:53] Flannel: cant find it [08:53] wols_, i know but there is some way that you could install the beta using nswrapperplugin, it just won't work for the latest version [08:53] mespejel: very minor [08:54] ok [08:54] Quiescent: Did you remove compiz or compiz-fusion from synaptic? [08:54] jorrit_: how can i correct that? [08:54] Av1: What version of Ubuntu are you running? [08:54] 8.04 [08:54] Av1: And you do, or don't have a fonts menu item under preferences? [08:54] histo, when I try to execute alsamixer as normal user I get a error alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device. But as root the erro does not happen ... What should I do ? [08:54] jordan_u, now i can't remember. i'm pretty sure i did "sudo apt-get remove compiz" [08:54] BigBuddha, I'm not sure it might be in VLC´s settings for output. Normally all Ubuntu programs use ESD as sound-daemon [08:54] I want to download directories containing files recursively through sftp, is that somehow possible? [08:55] I'm so fvcking sick of Flash stuff crashing Firefox!!!! [08:55] When will this madness end [08:55] Ontolog: No need for language [08:55] ontolog: same here [08:55] Flannel: i donthae it [08:55] Quiescent: If you just removed compiz-fusion that would only remove the extra plugins, that's why I ask [08:55] hmm, jorrit_ thank you, i will tinker around and get back to you [08:55] BigBuddha, np [08:55] I installed the libflashsupport plugin, same result [08:55] nothing works [08:55] god, we're at FF3.0 and still having Flash crash the browser [08:55] Can anyone help to get Koffice 1.63 working in Ubuntu?

[08:56] jorrit_: If you have problems or errors, you will need to describe/paste them. Please use the !pastebin for errors that cannot be quoted in a single IRC message [08:56] jordan_u, eh, i just reinstalled ubuntu because I couldn't figure out how to remove the restricted drivers using only bash and made sure not to install them after i reinstalled ubuntu. [08:56] Flannel: i dont have fonts option === LOLWAT is now known as Jesus [08:56] Why is it *crashing* FF, FF should not *crash* [08:56] Ontolog: install Flash 10 Release Candidate [08:56] the crashing part is FFs fault [08:56] Quiescent: I'll check it out [08:56] Av1: Interesting. Maybe its only available if the driver supports it. [08:56] hey all. Is there a way to do window transparency with just x11? [08:56] Ontolog: of course it should. if flash makes a boboo, ffox crashes since plugin in browser run in the same address space [08:57] Flannel: should i remove envy [08:57] wols_: your saying FF should not recover from a plugin doing something stupid? [08:57] and try to install hardware drivers [08:57] ontolog: that's what i did on my 32-bit system and it doesn't crash anymore, it's a little whacky though. can't get it to work on 64-bit systems even though there is supposed to be some plugin wrapper that does it [08:57] всем привет [08:57] !ru | vlad [08:57] vlad: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [08:58] Quiescent: For future reference just rebooting into "recovery mode" and choosing "Fix X" would have disabled the restricted drivers, and to remove them completely would be sudo apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx ( you can search for packages in the terminal with apt-cache search ) [08:58] Quiescent: is this a package in Ubuntu or do I have to dl it separate? [08:59] Flannel: should i remove envy and then try to install hardware drivers [08:59] ontolog: get the tar.gz from adobe's flash 10 website here: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/ then if you look around online there is a tutorial that shows you how to install it specifically on ubuntu 8.04 [08:59] Av1: Removing envy won't remove the stuff its done. But apart from that, I'm not sure what ATI drivers support, so I have no idea [09:00] jordan_u, thanks, i'll keep that in mind for next time. I've only been using Linux for a couple of months now so I don't really know my way around yet [09:00] Flannel: thanks for your help [09:00] I'm trying to get KOffice 1.63 working on Ubuntu 8.04. I have installed kdebase 3.5.9-4Ubuntu and whenever I try to start a Koffice program, such as kivio, it gives me the following error: see pastebin: http://pastebin.ca/1180472 [09:01] so its not posible to remove Envy once you have installed it? === banan is now known as Guest80511 [09:02] jorrit_: i cant make heads or tails of it mate [09:02] is it not possible to remove ENvy once itis installed [09:02] Avl, a colleage of mine got even compiz working on an ATI card, so there should be proper drivers for it.

[09:06] Hey guys, I installed ubuntu as dual-boot with vista, I realized after installing ubuntu that I installed i386 instead of x64. So from Vista I deleted the ubuntu partition, and burned a corrupt ubuntu x64 disk. Now I can not boot into vista because grub is broken. How can I fix grub so I can boot into vista again?

[09:07] i don't have a audio group abchirk [09:07] I need to boot into vista to burn a good copy of ubuntu x64... [09:07] hahahehe: use some graphical frontend, firestarter or such, if you don't know iptables well enough [09:07] BigBuddha, if you try setting it to OSS and you get a different sound output, then you might look into the ALSA settings. [09:07] Quiescent: awesome, works, thanks === BigBuddha is now known as BigBuddhahmm [09:07] BigBuddha, this way you can pinpoint the source of the incident === BigBuddhahmm is now known as BigBuddha [09:08] kk [09:08] thank you everyone for yuor help [09:08] hahahehe, I'll repeat .. type in, as root: iptables -F .

You're saying /etc/mt-daapd.conf ? [09:14] mysteriousways, if you don't have a group audio you ca opt to create one, but the default one is probably "pulse" [09:14] balz: no I said inside /etc as all config files (systemwide) are supposed to be [09:15] jorrit, abchirk was so kind to point that out [09:15] mysteriousways, , abchirk was so kind to point that out [09:15] wols_ okay let me have a look... how do you search again?

[09:25] MeVsTheVoices: it can be compiled to optomise to your liking but i dont think anything can be optomised for solid state [09:26] You can, mainly if your using as a boot partion though, Thanks again ActionParsnip [09:26] MeVsTheVoices: just find some space (or usb stick) format it encryptfs and all the data will be encrypted [09:26] Twas about to [09:26] tyty [09:26] MeVsTheVoices: can you send me a link to this optomisation please/ [09:26] *newbie warning* I found that copy file using usb pendrive is a lot faster than windows, is that true? [09:27] naughtykid001: copying file in what way? [09:27] naughtykid001, just be sure to umount it befor you unplug your stick, or you might loose files. [09:28] naughtykid001: oh you mean usb pendrive access is faster? [09:28] Its separate, some filesystems are just optimized to take more advantage of linear disk geometry, ext3 for example is set for hard disks while others are not [09:28] For, NTFS is actualy faster than Ext on a solid state, because ext goes on how little it has to move the head to get full files [09:29] hi [09:29] i need help please [09:29] ActionParsnip: thank you again [09:29] is there a good guide for optimizing a ubuntu-system if i am using SSD? so that the SSD will not be used to often for writing (cache size, write the date of access to a file and so on) [09:29] can someone help me with same problem i have [09:29] i just install ubuntus [09:30] galleta, just describe your problem [09:30] DIFH-iceroot: have another stick (if you can) for your home folder [09:30] i want to know if someone help me with my sound card [09:30] its not working under ubuntus [09:30] !sound | galleta [09:30] galleta: 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 [09:30] galleta, please be specific, [09:30] ActionParsnip: i have / on the SSD and /home + swap on a SD card [09:30] What is an ALSA_Sequencer?

[09:32] DIFH-iceroot: thats cool, the home dir gets written to lots, and your backup will enable you to restore when the card wears out [09:32] galleta, is it SB Audigy2? [09:32] i dont know my friend [09:32] how can i check that [09:32] I am using a Dell Inspiron 9200.. Whats happeneing is that if I switch from to vterm or restart x with ctrl+alt+bksp it locks up. [09:32] galleta, try /proc/lspci [09:32] ActionParsnip: yes and i can easily plugin my /home into another pc [09:32] dbl17z: wassup with your ati card [09:32] I wanted to swith to the opensource drivers for ATI [09:33] galleta, just type lspci [09:33] The closed source binary for the card make it act all wonky [09:33] ActionParsnip: but if i am correct linux/ubuntu is writting every access to a file on the drive [09:33] dbl17z: tried envy? [09:33] I just wanted to know the name for the opensource drivers to install them. [09:33] envy is the name of the drivers ActionParsnip ?

[09:35] like this? [09:35] galleta, Sorry for the confusion, just try lspci without anything else [09:35] galleta_: in all that text a line will detaill your sound card [09:36] ok [09:36] i trying [09:36] galleta_: find the line and paste it in here (ONLY that line too) [09:36] ActionParsnip, lol [09:36] mind you, floodbot protects us :) [09:36] Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 04) [09:36] galleta, if you can't find the line, use this pastebin: http://www.pastebin.ca/ [09:37] has anyone used postgre SQL on ubuntu [09:37] hey i get an error when i try to start synaptic manager to download programs...it wont open and says unable to copy the users Xauthorization...failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic as user root [09:37] aj_: yes, what is your question?

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 [09:38] galleta, lookup your sound card in the Ubuntu compatibility DB [09:38] ok [09:38] where?

[09:41] galleta, please check out the Ubuntu hompage before asking this general question. [09:41] aj_: you run it with /etc/init.d/ script (done by default) and access it via unix socket [09:41] aj_: /etc/init.d/postgresql start or something like that for staring the server [09:41] it does not appear as muted [09:41] action [09:42] galleta_: you can press tab to complete peoples names dude [09:42] hi i have a new pc and ubuntu can't see the new hdd. I partitioned it with gparted live cd, fine, is there any way I can test to see if it is workable? [09:42] aj_: for access look at the postgresql manual [09:42] aj_, if you want to access it remotely through TCP-IP, you have to open the server for that in the config files [09:42] galleta_: ok have you run your updates yet? [09:42] chronographer: sudo fdisk -l [09:42] yes [09:42] i did [09:42] aj_: but doing so is a bad idea generally [09:42] galleta_: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [09:42] galleta_: run that line === zero is now known as ZeroXXXX [09:43] the installer and also gparted on the ubuntu live cd see nothing... sudo fdisk -l outputs nothing [09:43] wols, It was the only way I could access it remotely through JDBC [09:43] chronographer: if it outputs nothing, you don't run ubuntu [09:43] really...

Welcome to #ubuntu! [10:31] I have a question. I have used Ubuntu before along with WIndows but I decided for my laptop I wanted it to be Linux only. So I was wondering if there is like a forum post or a site with "reccamended" Programs. [10:31] Hey all, Ubuntu on an Acer Aspire One netbook. Problem connecting to a WPA-protected access point with NetworkManager (using the madwifi drivers). Syslog says: Activation (ath0/wireless): association took too long (>60s), failing activation. I can connect to that AP with my phone, so I know for sure it's working. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? [10:31] kei, is the key ascii or hex [10:31] Keiyentai: how do you mean? [10:31] hwilde_: ascii [10:32] Keiyentai: ubuntu will install some standard apps which please most users [10:32] kei, did you try wext drivers [10:33] hwilde_: Nope, do they work with the atheros chipsets? [10:33] kei, should [10:33] Kei: which theros do you have? [10:33] okay, let me check that out. I went with madwifi because the guy who wrote the ubuntu install guide for the Acer One said it works. [10:33] ActionParsnip: Uhh, let me look that up [10:34] ikonia: Google does not know any "audio sequencer for alsa". So this practically does not exist. [10:34] I was just wondering like programs people reccamend or use. Also when I got my wifi working I used a different tutorial then last and I don't have the NetWork Manager where I can see multiple APs I just have the one where I have to type in the SSID [10:35] Keiyentai, there are a lot of programs in Synaptic. the ones that say ubuntu in the version are more or less recommended === TuX is now known as tuxsudo [10:35] Keiyentai really depends on what you want to do, [10:35] ok. [10:35] bullgard4: audio sequencer? you mean like fasttracker or fruityloops? [10:35] ActionParsnip: AR242x 802.11abg pci express adapter rev 01 [10:35] Keiyentai, you know synaptic? [10:35] ya [10:36] Keiyentai: there are no recommended programs to use, neither is there in windows, you use what you like. If you are more specific with the area of the application (email, file browser) then i can recommend some but millions would disagree and millions would agree [10:36] anyone have the problem with typing getting lagged in firefox when upgrading ubuntu? [10:36] bullgard4: i think one of the lugradio guys made a program like this [10:36] ok sorry for the braud question. I am kind of out of it [10:36] Kei: have you install the restricted drivers [10:36] Keiyentai for instance i like gnome commander but many wouldnt. [10:37] smee: I mean the entry in the GNOME Device Manager with 'Device file: /dev/snd/seq'. [10:37] bullgard4: ah ok i misunderstood [10:37] smee: What is 'lugradio'? [10:37] ActionParsnip: I installed madwifi, not sure what the restricted drivers are [10:37] hello peeps [10:37] Kei: search in synaptic [10:38] bullgard4: group of guys who do a weekly radio show...lug is short for Linux User Group [10:38] smee: Do you speak about Internet radio? === nostferka^ is now known as nostferka [10:38] can anyone point me to a repository with the eclipse 3.3 ide, pls [10:39] bullgard4: I mentioned lugradio because one of the guys (jono i think his name is) created a program for making audio...works pretty uch like fruity loops or any other kind of "layered audio tracker" [10:39] uz: You could try to find out yourself using packages.ubuntu.com [10:40] smee: Jokosher :) [10:40] ja that is it [10:40] smee: Ah, ok. [10:40] reminds me i should grab some of their latest shows...lots of great news and humour too [10:40] bullgard4: ty, m going there [10:41] hmm, can someone try to help me get my video card drivers to work? [10:41] I have a question myself, related to making gtk/metacity themes: what is the name of the program that lets me mouse over a gui element and retrieve it's ctk widget name? [10:42] gtk* [10:42] "something"view i think it is ,,,, just not sure [10:42] Whats the partition type for writable ntfs in fstab? ntfs-fuse or ntfs-3g? [10:42] !ntfs | third3ye [10:42] third3ye: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [10:42] third3ye: ntfs-3g [10:42] third3ye: ntfs-3g [10:42] third3ye: ntfs-3g [10:43] shazaam, beaten again [10:43] so you see thirdeye, it depends on your ntfs access driver [10:43] is there a certant program I need for .rar file. Cuase I just downloaded one and the archive Manager said it doesent suppot .rar [10:43] Keiyentai: ubuntu-restricted-extras will install it [10:43] Keiyentai: sudo aptitude install rar [10:43] Well I'm trying to run VirtualBox with physical access to a specific partition [10:43] ty [10:44] smee: it's unrar [10:44] for some reason my computer refuses to let me use the driver from ATI, and on top of that i am stuck using the highest resolution possible, it wont let me switch because of something wrong with X server it says that XRandR extension isnt supported [10:44] Keiyentai: sudo apt-get install unrar [10:44] it is rar [10:44] !rar [10:44] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [10:44] Turns out I can't do that unless I make write access available for... you know, fuck that.

[10:45] Hi guys, does anyone know, how I can change my Monitor-Model with a GUI? [10:45] Oh, excuse me ^^;; [10:45] Kinda used to the free speech at club ubuntu by now [10:45] Nextplace, i think you can do it under the screen resolution tool in preferences [10:46] BVBBQ: nope [10:46] !ndiswrapper > ActionParsnip [10:46] ActionParsnip, please see my private message [10:47] should be using "sudo aptitude install blahblah" instead of "sudo apt-get blahblah" as aptitude will track dependancies for when you need to uninstall...apt-get wont...leaving many unused libs hanging around [10:47] nextplace, hmm, well you've got me there, i seemed to remember being an option there. why do you need to change your monitor model? [10:47] smee: Ive always used apt-get and had zero issues [10:48] hello all, witch version of ubuntu is best for PC EEE using. I have got pc eee 901 (intel atom) [10:48] the benefits are more apparent when you decide to remove a program whose dependancies are not used by any other program [10:48] smee, apt-get can autoclean or autoremove unnused stuff. [10:48] because my Brother got a new one (widescreen) [10:48] smee: and considering the vast majority of the ubuntu community documentation uses apt-get... [10:48] CaT_MaNZz: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC [10:48] CaT_MaNZz: eeeXUbuntu [10:49] smee: this doesn't apply to ubuntu. [10:49] smee, apt-get can autoclean or autoremove unnused stuff. [10:49] Hi, I have a quick Q [10:49] yes it does [10:49] ty [10:49] smee: no [10:49] yes [10:49] nextplace, hmm, this may work but it isnt perfect. download the resolution switcher, it has some widescreen display options [10:49] smee: stop if you're clueless. apt-get now autoremoves as well [10:49] IF I get normal Ubuntu, how easy is it to put KD,E or other window managers on there [10:49] it doesnt autoremove, you have to poke it to do it [10:49] ActionParsnip: eeexubuntu is no longer supported, please don't recommend it [10:49] BVBBQ: via Synaptic? [10:49] ? [10:49] Ziroday: really, crazy...it rocks [10:49] !kde | Jampiter [10:49] Jampiter: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu.

Get it via torrents and you can do it a bit at a time ;) [10:51] Can someone help me to get propriatery drivers working for my videocard? the utility refuses to notice my video card [10:51] Would it run on a 6-7 year old PC? [10:51] BVBBQ: but there must be a GUI for it, because, if you change the resolution in the xorg.conf to a wrong one, Gnome starts it automatically [10:51] Jampiter: i am using kde on a eeepc, which is 6-7 years old :) [10:52] Jampiter: should be fine, just run xubuntu or ubuntu, stay away from kde and you're fine [10:52] Ok :p [10:52] Thanks for your help! :D [10:52] ActionParsnip: kde is also working great on older pcs [10:52] icewm :) [10:52] ActionParsnip: like the eeepc 701g [10:53] DIFH-iceroot: err, eee's aren't 6 years old [10:53] DIFH-iceroot: i like kde apps but find the thing nasty so I run fluxbox on top of kde [10:53] nextplace, that is what resolution switcher does. right now the only way for me to use a half normal resolution is through the switcher. and you can change on the fly. i believe this might be a temporary fix for you [10:53] Ziroday: look at the hardware 630mhz, 512mb ram [10:53] Ziroday: the stuff inside is equivelant ;) [10:53] Have I pulled a Rip Van Winkle, since when was the Eee 6-7 years old? o_O [10:53] Thanks :D I'm gonna go order some CDs :D [10:53] nextplace, and it is a GUI btw [10:53] Bye! :D [10:53] but now i am running gnome on my eeepc (eeebuntu) [10:54] what do i need to do to make my ubuntu, cool?

[11:10] System -> Preferences -> CompizConfig Settings Manager -> General -> Desktop [11:10] Desktop Size* [11:10] hahahehe, more help for compiz is at #compiz-fusion [11:10] ActionParsnip, can i get that in laymans terms? what is Top? [11:11] hwilde: my dns is fine.. i can ping locations, and do host address.. it works fine [11:11] hwilde: my dns's are correct.. and they work in windows on the same pc [11:11] mantise, but you can get to google and xchat, so internet is working fine. [11:11] BVBBQ: type it in terminal [11:11] hwilde: yeah only google, any other homepage, it cant enter [11:11] ActionParsnip, thanks, i will try that after this is finished. [11:12] mantise: just because you can do certain things, but not others, doesn't mean your DNS is fine. [11:12] mantise, well that sounds like a caching issue. [11:12] mantise, can you actually search on google [11:12] Whiz2: hm, what can i do about it? [11:12] mantise: Are you connected to the internet via a router, or are you connected directly to yuour modem? [11:12] hwilde_: yes i can search, and it find the resaults, but i cant enter the sites [11:12] wait so i cant put anything on the top cube or the bottom cube? [11:12] mantise: maybe you are using an internet connection where only google and irc are allowed? [11:13] mantise, are you in china? [11:13] Whiz2: no router.. just broadbond [11:13] band* [11:13] lol china [11:13] BVBBQ: im in denmark :P [11:13] mantise, ok, cant help you then [11:13] mantise: Are you setup to use DHCP to get your IP address? [11:13] smee: no :P ofc not [11:13] mantise, can you install opera and see if it's a firefox issue [11:13] hwilde, its an important question, tons of stuff is blocked in china [11:14] BVBBQ, I know thats why its funny [11:14] BVBBQ, google isn't even google there. [11:14] Whiz2: i tryed with automatic dhcp, and also static ip [11:14] mantise: can you ssh anywhere? [11:14] !opera | mantise [11:14] mantise: opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser. Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser [11:14] smee: uhm, havent tryed yet [11:14] mantise: how many different browsers have you tried this with? [11:14] how can I finnd out which sounddriver is used by a current machine ? [11:15] mantise: maybe it helps if you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list [11:15] hwilde_, well yes and no, i live here google works more or less like it should, i had to laugh when the great firewall of china blocked a news article about them unblocking websites [11:15] mantise: try to see if this is an external internet problem or if it also affects your local network operations [11:15] mantise, apt-get install opera [11:15] wait so i cant put anything on the top cube or the bottom cube? [11:15] Whiz2: well only firefox.. but still, ubuntu cant get internet acesss to update ubuntu aswell [11:15] hahahehe: i think only pngs are supported [11:15] smee: that won't work if mantise is connected directly to the internet instead of through a network [11:15] hwilde: my apt-get dont work aswell [11:15] that means, cool effects, but pretty much defeats the purpose of the "cube" [11:15] Where are the firefox profile folders stored? I would like to copy over some bookmarks and passwords from my windows partition... [11:16] Theaxiom, I think .mozilla or similar [11:16] hwilde: as it cant connect, did u read the url with my problem? as it froze under apt install, and i had to plug out net kable [11:16] hwilde: thanks [11:17] mantise, does it work if you just use the livecd [11:17] mantise: maybe it helps if you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list <- should i try go look in that file ? [11:17] mantise: just for kicks see if you can access my server at http://jasoncollege24.homeftp.net [11:17] mantise: pastebin it please [11:17] !paste | mantise [11:17] mantise: 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) [11:18] hwilde: uhm, i have the ubuntu desktop cd.. ? is the live ubuntu avalible there ? [11:18] rtu34672: ok, i need to boot in ubuntu then.. in windows now, so i could browse the web about my issue [11:18] mantise: if you boot from that CD it should load the ubuntu desktop [11:18] mantise, that is the livecd. when you boot from that does your internet work? [11:18] mantise: your said google works in ubuntu [11:19] rtu34672, I think it is just cached I don't think he can search [11:19] mantise: so web works as well, doesn't it? [11:19] rtu34672: only the google page.. i cant move outside google [11:19] rtu34672: i cant go futher to other pages, its google ONLY :) [11:19] mantise: you maybe have a web proxy problem [11:19] mantise: I had to disable my cache in konqueror (KDE) in order to browse the web with my server [11:20] mantise, It's not set to Work Offline in the File menu is it? [11:20] hwilde: you mean, try ubuntu without installing it ? i didnt try using the web there tbh :/ [11:20] DistroJockey: no :) [11:20] mantise, yeah you can run off just the cd [11:20] mantise, k :) [11:20] hwilde: oh, didnt try to use the internet that way [11:20] mantise, if that doesn't work, I wouldn't expect any other distro to give you better results. [11:20] mantise: you can still try it that way without changing your current installation. just pop in the CD, and reboot then when the LiveCD desktop loads, try to access any webpage you can't access with your current installation [11:21] mantise, try to get back on xchat :) [11:21] but by the way.. im gonna boot ubuntu, and come back to you :) [11:21] cansomeone helpe me free up 45MB of space? what files does unbuntu (or kubuntu) come with that I can safely remove? [11:22] what program do you use for a compiz theme manager [11:22] who? [11:23] matt_: you are referring to emerald [11:23] Whiz2, go in synaptic and sort by the installed status and remove some stuff you dont use [11:23] matt_: and emerald theme manager [11:23] sure emerald [11:23] is there a theme pack [11:23] suggest me some books and websites to learn linux as i am abeginner [11:23] matt_ : gnome-look.org -> emerald themes [11:23] Whiz2, try: sudo apt-get clean [11:23]  Whiz2: how big is the entire drive/partition and how much space does your ubuntu take ? [11:24] hwilde: synaptic? is that a gnome application? I'm using KDE [11:24] Whiz2, then it would be adept [11:24] ScheissDrogen: 3.7GB total 2.1GB in use [11:24] Whiz2, sudo apt-get clean clears out the local repository of retrieved package files. [11:24] dje ste ljudi? [11:25] DistroJockey: already done that [11:25] Whiz2, ahh, k [11:25] can someone help me out with X server my XRandR is saying it is not supported when i try to use it, also it seems that even though i just reinstalled the fglrx driver with envyng it is not running [11:25] de ste? [11:25] EMPIREBL, english please [11:25] wtf? [11:25] !de | EMPIREBL [11:25]  Whiz2: wow, less is hard, well as bazh told you can remove apps like games or other soft u don't use [11:25] EMPIREBL: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [11:26] hi all [11:26] lol [11:26] Whiz2, goto /usr/share then type "sudo du -a --max-depth=1 | sort -k1 -n" [11:26] hi [11:26] ScheissDrogen: i need it for a complete system upgrade via the internet. i only need 45MB freed for the release upgrade [11:26] lol this is si noobish where do you all come from? [11:26] iam spanish [11:26] lol [11:26] EMPIREBL, this is ubuntu support [11:27] !noob | EMPIREBL [11:27] EMPIREBL: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [11:27] !ot EMPIREBL [11:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about ot empirebl [11:27] is this all world here? [11:27] EMPIREBL, this is not a chat channel [11:27] !ot | EMPIREBL [11:27] EMPIREBL: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [11:27] hwilde_: that stuff from empirebl does not resemble German pal... [11:27] I am trying to connect VPN , logs are http://paste.debian.net/15272/ , is there anybody to help me_? [11:27] empirebl; please tell me about some books and websites for linux as i am a beginner [11:27] I just installed Hardy Heron, but on restarting, I can't boot into it. I have a SATA HD with vista installed. I shrunk this partition and installed ubuntu on the 2nd half. I also have a IDE drive that I just store data on. When I restart, the computer just boots into vista like it always had. No grub menu. Any Ideas? [11:27] hwilde_: that wasn't german at all [11:27]  EMPIREBL:irc.euirc.de > #ubuntu [11:27] lol [11:27] dinesh_, please join #ubuntu-offtopic [11:27] frybye, rtu34672 he said "de ste" so I gave him !de whatev [11:27] hwilde: before i run that command, what does it do? [11:28] Whiz2, it sorts the directories by size [11:28] Whiz2, and prints them out [11:28] Whiz2: put the -h switch in there too [11:28] leave me alone! [11:28] Whiz2, no not h! that will mess up sorting [11:28] Whiz2, just what I told you. [11:28] smee: too late [11:28] hwilde_: for me it looks rather east european [11:28] wtf about me i was talking on serbian [11:28] Question, bash-completion version 20060301-3ubuntu3. I can't complete files with spaces anymore when using a quote. That is: touch "foo bar", touch "f won't complete to "foo bar" like it used to (e.g. in 7.10). Can't find a bug report, though did find a bug report that looked somewhat like this problem. [11:28] whiz2: like this 'sudo du -a -h --max-depth=1 | sort -k1 -n' [11:29] humphrey, sounds like grub got installed to your IDE drive [11:29] Whiz2, you can get rid of some stuff like doc, man, app-install, foomatic and cups (if you dont need to print), example-content etc [11:29] ? [11:29] does thunar have a ftp ssh plugin? [11:29] Whiz2: the -h will format the file-size in more readable terms [11:29] hwilde: that only tells me sizes of directories... not what I can remove safely from them [11:29] smee, no. h messes up sorting. [11:29] smee, try it and you see. it doesn't sort k's and m's right. [11:29] lol what is this people? [11:29] DistroJockey, that's what I thought. I changed my boot piority to be my ide drive, and grub gave me an error. [11:29] empiirebl - this is a focused channel all about suport for a particular linux operating system distribution where unrelated stuff is nor really wanted.. there are 1000's of channels on masses of irc servers for other stuff... [11:30] EMPIREBL, last chance :p [11:30] EMPIREBL: calm down [11:30] humphrey, or to the partition you installed Ubuntu on. Not the MBR of the disk that boots by default [11:30] EMPIREBL: you were already told this is ubuntu technical support [11:30]  Whiz2: simply browse through adept and look which soft you don't need [11:30] humphrey, ahh, so grub is on the IDE drive [11:30] its better if i enter /quit [11:30] humphrey, what was the error? [11:30] * Whiz2 hates adept lol [11:30] EMPIREBL: perhaps you are right - have a nice day... [11:30] but ok [11:30] Whiz2, I just gave you a list... [11:31] DistroJockey, It was grub error 6, or some number.. can't remember. [11:31] hwilde: you gave me a list of directories lol [11:31] Whiz2, you can get rid of some stuff like doc, man, app-install, foomatic and cups (if you dont need to print), example-content etc [11:32] When I try to use any "sudo" commands I get this output: "sudo: unable to resolve host tobbe-desktop". What can be the problem? [11:32] Achoth, /etc/hosts file [11:32] humphrey, can't help much until we know really. Also the contents of /boot/grub/menu.lst would be nice [11:32] hwilde_: What about it? [11:32] hwilde: it's ok. I'm taking the advice of removing programs I don't use [11:32] if i want to edit my xorg.conf file how would i do that [11:32] cool.. I might reboot soon and give it a look :-) === padmaji is now known as pema [11:33] Achoth, probably missing an entry that says 127.0.1.1 tobbe-desktop === pema is now known as padma [11:33] hwilde_: Should I add it? [11:33] asgapbrtihwantpe [11:33] Achoth, can you pastebin /etc/hosts [11:33] humphrey, will be hard to get that file without a live linux CD [11:33] latnw === padma is now known as padmaji [11:33] alvarito08, english please [11:33] hi [11:34] if i want to edit my xorg.conf file how would i do that? [11:34] alvarito08, press 1 if you keyboard is broken [11:34] DistroJockey, got a live linux cd... that's how I installed ubuntu :-) [11:34] BVBBQ, if you can't figure out how to edit that file you probably don't want to ... [11:34]  BVBBQ:first backup the old one, ... [11:34] DistroJockey, Could I just boot off the live cd and manually set up grub on the hdd that I choose? [11:34] kek [11:34] hwilde_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/39363/ [11:34] haha thanks guys, but i do need to to get my fglrx drivers working properly [11:35] there are spanish people here [11:35]  BVBBQ:which graphics ? [11:35] humphrey, yeah [11:35] Achoth, see that second line? it thinks your hostname is "ubuntu". change that to your hostname [11:35] alvarito08, /join #ubuntu-es [11:35] ScheissDrogen, isnt the command sudo gedit xorg.conf? [11:35] !es | alvarezp [11:35] alvarezp: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es.

[11:35] DistroJockey, cheers! [11:35]  BVBBQ:y [11:35] humphrey, you're welcome :) [11:35] BVBBQ, ScheissDrogen, gksu ! [11:35] ok thank you [11:36] ScheissDrogen, because i need to enable Xrandr in the xorg.conf file [11:36] hwilde_: May that be related to that I chroot'ed into my Ubuntu isntall from a LiveCD? [11:36] Achoth, yeah check /etc/hostname while you're at it [11:36]  BVBBQ:first backup the old one! gksu cp /...old /...backup [11:36] ha! I found 60MB worth I can remove lol [11:36] so in terminal just gksu cp /...old? [11:36] BVBBQ, ScheissDrogen sudo for cp and command line, gksu for gedit and gui [11:37] hwilde_: YAY! It used to take over 30 seconds to open a terminal and now it opens instantly :) [11:37] BVBBQ, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup [11:37] hwilde_: Thanks [11:37] hwilde_, thanks [11:37] BVBBQ, gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.confg [11:38] Achoth, yes it was tryign to resolve your localhost and could not [11:38]  BVBBQ:/t) sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.confbackup [11:38] hwilde:difference is just set of filepermissons, or ? [11:38] hwilde_: And now it can ;) thanks again [11:38] hwilde_, uh oh, cp: missing destination file operand after `/etc/X11/xorg.conf' [11:38] ScheissDrogen, sudo is for command line, gksu for graphical [11:38] hwilde:difference [11:39] BVBBQ, type in exaclty what I typed [11:39] BVBBQ, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup [11:39] hwilde difference [11:39] all in one line? [11:39] * hwilde_ stares at BVBBQ [11:39] yes [11:39] BVBBQ: yes [11:40] hwilde_, ok [11:40] hwilde_, done [11:40] Just did a upgrade from Ubuntu 7.x to 8.04, and my system got wicked unstable. Is Ubuntu 8.04 stable on a clean install, or is it flakey as well? [11:40] !who | BVBBQ [11:40] BVBBQ: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [11:40] BVBBQ, warning, by editing your xorg.conf, you are about to bork your system hardcore, possibly requiring ctrl+alt+f1 to restore... [11:40] BVBBQ, if that is the path you have chosen... gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.config [11:40] lol [11:40] lmao [11:41] ScheissDrogen: difference between sudo and gksu is, gksu handles the DISPLAY variable and X11 display permissions. for command line only usage, you don't need that [11:41] Frelling about with xorg.conf is NOT for the faint of heart. [11:41] hwilde_: why would you deliberately bork someone's system? [11:41] fmitchel: if you don't run very exotic hw its very stable [11:41] Whiz2, I told him he didn't want to do that. [11:41] fmitchell: just for me it seems stable enough (upgraded not fresh install) [11:41] hwilde_, seems i am staring at an empty doc file. [11:41] is there a file in proc that lists filenames that are being written to/read ? [11:41] BVBBQ: You don't *want* to do that [11:41] i had problem with my network , i can chat and ping any site from shall page but cant browes any page from any browser , it works some times and some times stop , i had this problem with many linux versions ,i tried fedora opensuse mandriva ubuntu and kubuntu but the same problem [11:41] BVBBQ, your system is maybe telling you something there [11:41] Whiz2, i have no other choice [11:42] BVBBQ, if you can't figure out how to edit that file you probably don't want to ... [11:42] What is a good program to run in the tray that checks for new email? Or can evolution do that? [11:42] BVBBQ: what exactly is the problem you're having? [11:42] ScheissDrogen: Basically, vpnc seems crappy, and I keep having to reboot to restore my network stack [11:42] hwilde_, i have found the solution to my problem. and the only option is that i edit this file. no other choice [11:42] BVBBQ, if that is the path you have chosen... gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.config [11:42] Also, looks like they got rid of xmms and replace it with something screwball [11:43] Whiz2, i need to enable XrandR in my xorg.conf [11:43] fmitchell, xmms deprecated for "security" issues. but you can build from src [11:43] i had problem with my network , i can chat and ping any site from shall page but cant browes any page from any browser , it works some times and some times stop , i had this problem with many linux versions ,i tried fedora opensuse mandriva ubuntu and kubuntu but the same problem [11:43] hwilde_, all it opens is an empty doc file. [11:43] fmitchel: kinda network-connection ? wireless/lan [11:43] BVBBQ, hwilde : gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [11:44] is that not what I hav ebeen typing ? [11:44] DistroJockey, just figured that one out actually [11:44] hwilde_: yeah, I figured as much -- but I don't always want to have to build stuff from source anymore -- which is why I switched to Ubuntu from Fedora! Just not enough time, not that I can't do it . [11:44] fmitchel: after upgrading the apt update/grade commands run without errors ? [11:44] BVBBQ, wave goodbye to your gui :/ [11:44] hwilde, BVBBQ, if that is the path you have chosen... gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.config [11:44] fmitchell, mplayer will make music just fine. but I do miss the winamp style [11:44] hwilde_, i am just enabling xrandr, i should be ok. [11:44] hwilde, :) [11:45] DistroJockey, lol tab complete has ruined my spelling [11:45] hwilde_: you said /etc/x11/xorg.config when it was actually /etc/x11/xorg.conf [11:45] I was trying to protect him from himself [11:45] hwilde, yeah, it does that :) [11:45] hwilde_, restarting, wish me luck. [11:45]  Whiz2: xX [11:45] ScheissDrogen: I used the gui equivalent of that -- and yes, it ran error - free [11:45] BVBBQ, you know how to restore from command line?? [11:45] ScheissDrogen: what? I was being honest lol [11:45] hwilde_, enlighten me [11:46] I want to know it ,too. [11:46] BVBBQ, ctrl+alt+f1 login, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf [11:46] fmitchel: wireless or wired ? [11:46] hwilde_: I love mplayer to death and use it for watching my movies -- but i have those .m3u (sp) files that I don't want to redo. [11:46] how do I see *when* a deb package was installed? [11:47] ScheissDrogen: this particular one is wired. [11:47] is there a way to see if two directories are the "same"? (same files, same permissions, etc ...) and to display the changed between them? [11:47] ScheissDrogen: Wish me luck! I freed the needed disk space using Adept, and now I'm currently upgrading to the latest version of my Kubuntu OS! [11:47] fmitchell: isnt m3u just a playlist? [11:47] hoonteke, do you have Synaptic? [11:47] jorick: diff [11:47] fmitchell, you tried just renaming to .pls right ? :) [11:47] smee: yes [11:47] smee: yes [11:47] wishes good luck to Whiz2 [11:47] hoonteke, dpkg -l|grep packagename [11:47] DistroJockey: hehe, of course! I'll check that out [11:47] oh btw elisa media center works for me, i love it [11:47] but is there ... yeap [11:48] thanks Kartagis [11:48] hoonteke, check under File - History [11:48] jorick: http://www.unixtutorial.org/2008/06/how-to-compare-directories-in-unix/ === Mez is now known as Mez|Reading [11:48] hwilde_: that's an idea -- well, could convert it anway... [11:48] * Whiz2 crosses fingers and toes in hopes I don't bork my own system just from an upgrade lol [11:48] guess i should repeat my question [11:48] Kartagis: that shows it's status, but I want to find out (from the CLI) *when* it was installed [11:48] dpkg --get-selections > PAKETE.txt ,hoonteke [11:48] ciao [11:48] !list [11:48] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [11:48] DistroJockey: now, at least I have a way that *works*. :-) [11:49] I have a question myself, related to making gtk/metacity themes: what is the name of the program that lets me mouse over a gui element and retrieve it's gtk widget name? [11:49] hoonteke, yeah, was looking for a CLI option but havn't seen one yet [11:49] fmitchell, m3u should work in rhythmbox anyways http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=16526&highlight=rhythmbox+stream [11:49] hoonteke, must be a way though :) [11:49] ScheissDrogen: that still just says whether or not it's installed. anyway to see *when* it was installed? [11:50] I feel like such a noob here lol [11:50] Whiz2: yeah, it can def. be a bit overwhelming. There's a wealth of knowledge out there [11:50] Whiz2, the more you know, the more you realize yo udon't know [11:50] smee: I don't know, but consider package thewidgetfactory too, if you're building themes (binary is named "twf") [11:50] Whiz2: it's also probably a bit overwhelming in this room, just because of the sheer volume of people in this room. This room is never quiet. [11:50] hoonteke: i've been messing with kubuntu for a few years now, and I still can't grasp many of the simplest parts of it [11:51] hoonteke: huuhm [11:51] Whiz2: hehe, right htere with. right there with ya [11:51] hoonteke: in fact, this is the first time I've upgraded to a new release since I installed it... I originally installed 6.06 LTS [11:52] Whiz2, try Ubuntu (Gnome) :) [11:52] hehe, there's a testament to Ubuntu's usability then. Most of my friends have ridden the update curve. [11:52] DistroJockey: will gnome run better on a old computer with low RAM, and HDD space? [11:52] Whiz2, try fluxbuntu for that [11:53] hi, how can I get Ubuntu not to open all kind of crap when I insert a memory card with images [11:53] Heh, DistroJockey that's what I'm on, but I'm getting real excited about seeing what KDE 4.1 is all about. That plasma platform excites me... [11:53] Whiz2: both KDE (Kubuntu) and Gnome (Ubuntu) are somewhat memory hogs [11:53] Whiz2, from a brief test I did Gnome and KDE 3.5.9 use about the same amount of RAM [11:53] but if KDE3 tends to use more than gnome at this point. i don't know about kde4. [11:53] juro, please specify [11:53] why doesnt my hibernate.sh work? [11:53] Ubuntu's support for KDE is, shall we say, less than satisfying? :-) [11:54] !ot [11:54] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [11:54] smee: sudo apt-get install wininfo [11:54] lets take chat elsewhere [11:54] i have weeabot working swap 2GB on my 1GB ram [11:54] Whiz2: if you're cool with tinkering a bit, or learning a slightly non-windows/mac way of doing things, Xubuntu works pretty well. I use it on my older laptop [11:54] bazhang: can I change unbuntu versions without losing all my other settings? (like the server config, VNC, ssh, samba) [11:54] after resuming from hibernate, i cant get any sound working...i need to reboot to be able to hear sound [11:54] Hey, I think I have a problem with my xorg.conf, I pastebinned it here http://www.pastebin.ca/1180547, I have a Nvidia card. Any help is much appreciated. [11:54] bazhang, I have a CompactFlash card with images, when I insert that, fspot opens and tries to import the images. I don't want anything to happen! [11:54] Whiz2, you mean the wm? [11:54] hoonteke: the computer that has kubuntu installed is a dedicated web server [11:54] !defaultapp [11:54] To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. In Kubuntu, Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure and then hit "File Associations" [11:54] ushimitsudoki1: cheers, seems like the one i'm after [11:55] bazhang: wm??? [11:55] Whiz2: a dedicated webserver? Hmm, is it used a desktop at all? [11:55] Whiz2: in general, servers don't need X on them. Unless of course you need X because you haven't yet (or never will) learn the commandline utilities. [11:55] juro, what is the point of inserting the flash card; what do you want to do [11:55] hoonteke: only when I need to change something, or add large files to it as I can't seem to get files to it from over the network unless I login and copy them using the server itself [11:56] juro: try System -> Preferences -> Removable Drives and Media [11:56] !nvidia | jamesmcm [11:56] jamesmcm: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [11:56] why doesnt my hibernate.sh work? i have weeabot working swap 2GB on my 1GB ram [11:56] Whiz2: okay. Fair enough. Well in that case, I might point you to this months Linux Journal (September 2008). [11:56] there's a good introductory article to administration with X [11:56] and other tools. [11:56] hoonteke: i use the X Desktop for those purposes, and I have a utility that also allows me to ssh directly into the command line and login that way if I don't need the X desktop for what I'm doing [11:56] !hibernate [11:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about hibernate [11:56] hoonteke, if you ever have to frell about with Oracle(!), you'll need X installed. I would not wish that on my worst enemy -- well, maybe I would! [11:57] !acpi [11:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about acpi [11:57] hi [11:57] i added a wireless nic in my machine [11:57] but now it doesn't show up in nm-connection-manager [11:57] is there any way to add it? [11:57] flajann: it has been a while since I've messed with oracle, but I've never needed an X server on the server itself [11:57] !sleep [11:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about sleep [11:57] ssh -X is a handy thing to know [11:57] and -Y [11:57] hoonteke:man dpkg otions I,L,s posible, but couldn't get it to work [11:58] hoonteke: I'd rather have X up and running for the things I dunno how to do from the command line [11:58] bazhang, definitely not to import it into fspot [11:58] options [11:58] hoonteke: yeah those are awesome, use them on my local netowork server alot [11:58] hoonteke, normally you wouldn't. I don't have X on any servers I work on -- except those with Oracle installations. Go figure. [11:58] my other question didn't get answered! [11:58] smee: :-) [11:58] juro, did you try what clouder`grr suggested [11:58] clouder`grr: thanx, worked [11:58] hoonteke: also used synergy with it too [11:58] flajann: yeah, I migrated to Postgres in the 8.0 series. [11:58] bazhang: yes, thank you. [11:58] OMG! I'm not looking back [11:58] Whiz2:? [11:59] there are so many things that make it so much easier to work with [11:59] bazhang, I am waiting for Adobe finally to convert their products to Linux ;) [11:59] not the least of which is the psql commandline, there administration [11:59] the ppl who helped me before - Whiz2, smee rtu34672, ect - i could not even connect to freenode from ubuntu [11:59] and i tryed to use the live ubuntu [11:59] and there even more ACID/SQL standard compliant than oracle [11:59] mantise: then you DO have a DNS issue [11:59] and the internet didnt work there aswell [11:59] I installed openjdk-6-jre using apt-get, and then installed eclipse using apt-get, when I try to run eclipse it says I need to install a JDK or a JDE, shouldn't it be working? [11:59] only google [11:59] also, I don't have to go all over the system to administrate it, like I do with ORacle [11:59] rtu34672: i see mate.. but i have added the 2 right dns i have, and they work in windows ? [11:59] oh, and OS = mucho cheaper, so that's nice as well [12:00] Theaxiom: I think you may have to point it out in the Eclipse options [12:00] mantise: so you are back in windows now? [12:00] hateball: I can not even start eclipse [12:00] btw, this is the exact same problem - > http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-517393.html - he just have a router [12:00] Whiz2:second question ? [12:00] hoonteke, I had to deal with a Doubleclick installation, which *requires* Oracle, but could've just as easily been written to use MySQL or postgres [12:00] ScheissDrogen: after I do my upgrade to the latest version, is it possible to change versions (from say kubuntu to xubuntu) withoutlosing my settings, or needed programs? (like VNC (or desktop sharing), web server settings, ssh, etc) [12:00] mantise: difficult to test you linux setup if you are in windows [12:00] rtu34672: yes.. cant do anything in ubuntu, undernet i can connect to tho.. but not freenode [12:01] rtu34672: well i could not connect to freenode to talk to u in ubuntu :/ [12:01] mantise, you're not going to have much luck with other distros if your livecd doesnt work [12:01] mantise: what is undernet? [12:01] Whiz2:yes, if you had enough space, you could even chosse the session each time you log on [12:01] hateball: I will try installing the sun JRE as well and see if that works [12:01] has anyone had a problem with FoxyTunes in FF3 on Ubuntu 8.04 and Amarok not showing up? Worked just fine in Mandriva but I am not seeing alot of players in the list. Just Online players like Rhapsady and such [12:01] rtu34672: undernet irc server [12:01] These days, Windows runs as a virtual app under Linux! [12:01] flajann: yep, about 3-4 years ago, we made a decision on the database end of things: we're going with postgres. If it didn't support postgres, we weren't going to use it. [12:01] rtu34672: undernet is another irc server like freenode [12:01] mantise, Whiz2: okay [12:01] hateball: that worked [12:01] hwilde: well last i used linux, i used slackware.. and my internet was just fine [12:01] sorry you don't have the option. :-( [12:02] mantise: still it looks like a DNS issue [12:02] mantise, if xchat works then basic internet support is working. [12:02] mantise, do you have the linux box handy or is this a dual boot [12:02] mantise, that means proxy, cache, firewall, filter, or dns problems [12:02] hwilde_: he cannot connect to freenode, only undernet [12:02] hello all [12:02] how is it that I uninstalled 60MB worth of applications, but it still says I'm short 38.8MB of space (when it was originally 45MB) [12:02] hrm I am going to try and reboot.. [12:02] hoonteke, got into a nasty debate with someone local as to whether Postgres is better than MySQL. That raised a lot of interesting issues, actually. [12:02] hwilde_: only google and undernet works [12:03] how to group rename mp3 files on ubuntu? [12:03] mantise, google does not work. [12:03] ScheissDrogen: well, it ain't pretty, but the -L option works well enough: [12:03] mantise, and if undernet works then freenode works, because it's the same port out of the firewall... or is it [12:03]  mantise:you shure you set up the irc account properly ? [12:03] flajann: hehe, yep. Been down that road as well [12:03] hwilde_: well i can go to google, and search, and it find resaults, but i cant enter the pages it finds [12:03] flajann, mysql is catching up :) [12:03] hoonteke:tell me syntax [12:03] MySQL is faster for a certain things [12:03] but doesn't scale [12:04] hwilde_: Grrr.... :-) [12:04] hwilde_: it sounds weird, but i cant connect to any freenode servers.. just undernet and quakenet -.- [12:04] mantise, it sounds like you either have an http proxy, a firewall, a dns problem, a browser cache somewhere, or some type of parental guardian software. [12:04] it can with bigger bucks, but it's been our experience that Postgres has the multicore thing down much better [12:04] rtu34672, mantise : if it's DNS then try 82.96.64.4 (irc.freenode.net's IP number) instead of the name [12:04] mantise: DNS problem or proxy problem. do you know if there is a transparent proxy, possible filtering things? [12:04] Hey guys, ext3 support on XP, does it exist? Need to be able to share out an external drive from XP which was formatted to ext3 by ubuntu [12:04] try to figure this one out! 20 mins ago my system said I needed 45M of free space for my upgrade, I uninstalled 60M worth of programs i do not use, now it says I need 38.8M more space freed o.O [12:04] from the post tho - http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-517393.html - he have same DNS problem, but he could fix it in his router [12:04] beilabs: yes [12:04] also, MySQL's internal table structure is MyISAM. so, even if you choose innodb as all your table types, you still aren't able to be 100% ACID [12:05] mantise: but when you use windows ( i suppose you can reboot into it now?) you can go anywhere and use any port? [12:05] that is unacceptable in lots of what we do. [12:05] hoonteke: That was the case. MySQL is getting better with the multicore issues, but still has some way to go. [12:05] http://www.fs-driver.org/ beilabs [12:05] hwilde_: yeah i think proxy or dns aswell [12:05] rtu34672: im sure there isnt mate [12:05] bazhang, used that, it asks me if I want to format the drive [12:05] mantise, what connects you to the ineternet [12:05] flajann: yeah, it's hard to compare them both since they're both constantly evolving [12:05] smee: yeah in windows everything works [12:05] hello [12:05] hwilde: lan, i have a broadband connection [12:05] mantise, physically I mean [12:06] mantise: and your using something lie a 56k dialup modem to connect to your isp? [12:06] mantise, you must have a router or a modem or something [12:06] beilabs: yes, driver : http://www.fs-driver.org/download.html [12:06] hwilde_: dhcp [12:06] does anyone know how can I hide the icons for the ntfs mounted volumes from the desktop?? [12:06] hwilde_: yeah modem [12:06] mantise, can you get into that modem [12:06] anyone? [12:06] ScheissDrogen, used that, it asks me to format the drive. [12:06] Hi there, When recompiling kernel modules, is there a way to specify only new modules should be built or am I stuck with make modules and recompiling them all? [12:06] hey guys, total newbie here. How do i setup my onboard audio so that the line-out is actually rear-out? [12:06] Belial, if you just type make it will only make the ones that need remade [12:06] ScheissDrogen: i have another question for you lol [12:06] hwilde_: get into it ? to configure it, like a router ? nop :/ [12:06] beilabs: encrypted or other than ext 2/3 ? [12:07] mantise, don't you have to log into the web browser and put in your username and password? [12:07] hoonteke:tell me the right syntax of of dpkg-L [12:07] ScheissDrogen, dpkg -L packagename [12:07] hoonteke: at my shop, we are using MySQL on big quad-core boxes to support 50,000+ simultaneous users sending messages back and forth, chat, and a blizzard of other stuff... [12:07] hwilde: sounds like a 56k modem...the kind you issue commands via a serial port [12:07] Whiz2:go ahead [12:07] ScheissDrogen, not encrypted, just plain old ext3, a windows tool called Linux-Reader allows me to browse the drive, but not to share it out over the network [12:07] mantise, how do you make it connect [12:07] eligos, run gconf-editor and navigate to apps - natulius - desktop , then untick volumes_visible [12:07] flajann: about a year ago, this was handy: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Why_PostgreSQL_Instead_of_MySQL:_Comparing_Reliability_and_Speed_in_2007 [12:08] smee, webspeed.dk is broadband tho. maybe even fiber [12:08] ScheissDrogen: it's not syntax: dpkg -L *package_name* [12:08] hwilde_: that seems to be going through the entire kernel, though i cant remember if i make clean'd the last time or not [12:08] hwilde_: no, i just let it auto recieve ip ect [12:08] ScheissDrogen: take one of those files and do "ls -l file_name" [12:08] hwilde: ahh like cable maybe? [12:08] ScheissDrogen: 45m needed to be freed, I took your advice, and using adept, I removed 60M worth of un-needed applications, but now it says I still need 38.8M freed... did I do something wrong? [12:08] ScheissDrogen: see what the date is [12:08] hwilde_: its like cable, yes [12:08] hwilde: ergo, not adsl [12:08] Whiz2: apt-cache clean [12:08] mantise: if you get an IP it is more than just a modem. it is a router. [12:08] mantise, type in /sbin/route do you have a default gateway [12:08] wols_: I'm WAY ahead of you [12:09] lk [12:09] alefvirg [12:09] Just now someone let me know that I can type chinese letters by install some software. Can I know what is the software name agian> [12:09] Could anyone give me a recomandation for an extremely easy-used firewall? Ive installed Ubuntu for my father(who has absolutely no clue on computers at all) and need a easy but good firewall... [12:09] Whiz2: size as described in the package description is not always very accurate [12:09] hoonteke: Yes, a year ago. Now, it'll have to be redone. :-) [12:09] hwilde_: i tryed to enter my ip, subnetmask and gateway i got from windows, as a static ip, but didnt work aswell [12:09] flajann: yeah, I'm not at all dissing MySQL. It's got it's niche, and clearly (since Google uses it, e.g.) it works. Hard to argue with *it works*. On the other hand, it's not a solution that will work for our shop [12:09] !firewall > RandyboY [12:09] RandyboY, please see my private message [12:09] RandyboY: why do you need a firewall? [12:09] hwilde_: i have a static ip [12:10] mantise, sudo dhclient eth0 [12:10] RandyboY: i use firestarter [12:10] wols_: requested size is given in exact MB needed, and lacking amount for a full upgrade via the internet [12:10] mantise, that will get you dhcp [12:10] vnix, I believe they mentioned scim ? [12:10] Whiz2: delete some log files the compressed ones [12:10] Whiz2, I already told you a way to free up 100+mb [12:10] hoonteke: as always, it's the best tool for the job. At my shop, MySQL is the main workhorse, but we also have MSSQL and Oracle here. [12:10] distrojockey, thanks [12:10] hwilde_: it sux i cant join freenode from ubuntu.. as i have to reboot every time :p [12:10] Whiz2, you can get rid of some stuff like /usr/share doc, man, app-install, foomatic and cups (if you dont need to print), example-content [12:10] eligos, you're welcome [12:10] Has anyone tried KDE 4.1? Is it stable enough to use everyday situations? (Kubuntu channel is dead.) [12:11] chris062689, yes [12:11] mantise: i just tried to connect to undernet, they won't let me in [12:11] !kde | chris062689 [12:11] mantise, the problem is if you dont get dhcp you don't have dns servers in /etc/resolv.conf [12:11] chris062689: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 [12:11] distrojockey, do you know how to move the screen position from ubuntu??? [12:11] Whiz2: prob will be that after installation not mor space is needed but to extrcat the new onne while the old ones are still there [12:11] chris062689, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [12:11] mantise, set it to dhcp and you will get on freenode fine [12:11] Been wanting to play around with Postgres, but never get the time. Been doing MySQL for nearly a decade, and it's hard to justify even looking at a different database... [12:11] flajann: hmm, so I hadn't looked at that link in a while. I'm actually impressed that it's still somewhat relevant. [12:11] Hi! Do you know if the first of two encoding passes with mencoder is a distinctly names file, in other words can I run first pass on a series of files and only after that pass 2, or do I have to do both passes one after the other for each file? [12:11] eligos, not sure what you mean by that sorry. Can you rephrase? [12:12] hi I think a find a problem with Ubuntu 8.04 's kernel, which does not occour in 7.10's one [12:12] Perhaps someone could do a Postgress engine as a plugin for MySQL! [12:12] Hi [12:12] ScheissDrogen: it told me exactly the same thing last time with a 7M difference (before removing 60M) [12:12] !ot [12:12] mantise, I am on undernet anyways #ubuntu [12:12] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [12:12] flajann: heh, that's been the april fools joke on slashdot for a couple of years running, I think. [12:12] :-) [12:12] please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [12:12] can someone tell me how to clone a user using the CLI ? [12:12] hoonteke, flajann [12:13] hwilde_: in my resolvconf there is my 2 dns servers [12:13] mantise: i just managed to get into undernet as well, #ubuntu [12:13] mantise, you need to get dhcp. [12:13] mantise, go into ubuntu and join undernet #ubuntu [12:13] hoonteke: I'm serious, though -- would make for a cool state of affairs... [12:13] distrojockey, I changed my screen res and the screen got out of place, but if I fix the position using my monitor controls my other operating systems will be affected also, and I remember there's a way to move the screen position using ubuntu [12:13] sorry time for sleep,,, cheerio folks [12:13] flajann: :-) [12:13] wols_: ScheissDrogen: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/39371/ [12:13] hwilde_: i will mate.. on my way :) [12:13] alright time to get back to work. [12:13] ditto [12:13] Whiz2: you are not really happy with that drive, where are u located to not getting a bigger one ? at least an usb-stick for temporaly storage ? [12:14] eligos, ahh, I usually just hit the auto-sync on my monitor [12:14] ScheissDrogen: money is the issue [12:14] eligos, not familiar with the software way sorry [12:14] !trash Whiz2:trash empty ? [12:14] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:14] What's the command to clone a user (I need to create a user with the same privileges as another user) [12:15] ScheissDrogen: was empty before i ever started [12:15] !trash | ScheissDrogen [12:15] ScheissDrogen: The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [12:15] distrojockey, that's alright, thanks [12:15] eligos, no problem [12:15] Whiz2: lol, could look in the trash for a bigger hd [12:15] lmao [12:16] hwilde_: do me a favor a nd relist that stuff you said I could remove? [12:16] Can someone help me? I'm trying to install Hardy Heron to a flash drive with Live USB, but it says it can't format the disk, /dev/sdd1 [12:17] !usb [12:17] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [12:17] Totakeke: sudo fdisk -l [12:17] Whiz2, you can get rid of some stuff like /usr/share doc, man, app-install, foomatic and cups (if you dont need to print), example-content [12:17] Totakeke, what instructions are you following [12:17] I'm not following any instructions, it just said to use Live USB and let it do its thing, it'll do it all itself. [12:17] I checked the wikis, that's why I'm here :P [12:17] Totakeke, from the livecd installer ? [12:18] No, a seperate GUI called "Live USB" [12:18] what is the command to remove directories that are not empty? (such as usr/share/doc) [12:18] Whiz2: don't delete them [12:18] Whiz2, rm -r foldername [12:18] wols_: why not? [12:18] Whiz2: uninstall the packages but don't delete [12:18] https://launchpad.net/liveusb [12:18] Whiz2: carefull with that : rm -r ..../dir/ [12:19] can't find scim in the search there [12:19] vnix, where [12:20] under add/remove [12:20] Is there any way to remove all of the partitions from the flash drive?

[12:21] Totakeke: one way is dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ bs=512 count=1 [12:21] vnix, for ff you will want to install quick locale switcher plugin to type in asian languages [12:21] Hi. My friend is getting a grub error 18 on his computer (something to do with bios boot sector limitations). Does anybody know an easy way to fix it? [12:21] Whiz2, yes ScheissDrogen is correct be SURE thats what you want to do, can break your system easily :) [12:21] Has anyone used the Live USB system creator program to install Linux on a flash drive? [12:21] vnix, SCIM is in System - Preferences on a standard Hardy install [12:21] I checked their channel but there's no one there. [12:22] jhesketh_: install grub to a partition which totally lies in the first 1024 cylinders [12:22] ya found it in Synaptic there..

[12:24] bazhang: whats compiz? im noob here [12:24] shiman, the 3d effects [12:24] bazhang: owh.. i c.. [12:25] :D I like Compiz I just configured mine [12:25] Heavenlysword [12:25] Tried running that terminal flash drive "dd" delete thing, but it didn't work. I keep getting the error "Could not format /dev/sdd1" [12:25] bazhang: hold on.. let me check [12:25] bazhang but that is for firefox only right? [12:25] How do I undo the operations performed by the script at this location: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions [12:25] screenlets with shiman , and gdesklets with out; also check awn [12:25] !awn [12:25] Avant Window Navigator is a dock-like navigation bar for the Linux desktop that positions itself at the bottom of the screen.

Resizing it is not optimal. Is there an easy way? [12:26] shiman: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=lSE5oLgngTo [12:26] !usb | Totakeke [12:26] Totakeke, please see my private message [12:26] thanks nextplace [12:26] alright [12:26] shiman: thats Compiz [12:26] jhesketh_: no [12:27] theaxiom that script seems to add some entries to the fstab. from what i read of it. You could edit the fstab back to normal. or perhaps it made a backup. [12:27] hey, I use NetworkManager Applet to manage my network connections and on-boot it always connects to a neighbor's insecure wireless network rather than my own, is there a way to change this behavior? [it also connects to the neighbor's whenever it loses sight of mine; ideally it would only connect to a network other than my own if i tell it to] [12:27] Dr_willis: Thanks, how do I edit fstab? [12:27] shiman: and the desklet-thing, I do with Screenlets [12:27] tonsofpcs: blacklist it [12:27] I did all the stuff on the wiki, had no luck. That's why I'm asking on here. [12:27] shiman: you can get it on Synaptic [12:27] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 tonsofpcs the cli way [12:28] ActionParsnip1: how? [12:28] I'm having an issue installing amsn ... it keeps saying something about TLS.. it intalls and then pops up again..I checked the support channel they don't know [12:28] theaxiom its a text file you must edit as the root user. You may want to research how linux mounts drives. Its one of those things worth learning. to edit the fstab -> 'sudo nano /etc/fstab' [12:28] nextplace: ive installed gdesklets.. [12:28] Dr_willis: thank you very much [12:28] nextplace: so the next thing is screenlets? [12:29] Totakeke, try the guide on http://www.pendrivelinux.com [12:29] shiman: no gdesklets is a similar program for widgets [12:29] I tried the guide, it didn't work; that's when I found Live USB system creator [12:29] Can anyone help me? I tried to install onto a flash drive (yes, read the wikis) by using Live USB system creator. But it keeps telling me it can't format the only partition. [12:29] shiman: I prefer Screenlets [12:29] Totakeke: I asked you something [12:29] nextplace: oic.. screenlets better? [12:29] theaxiom at that URL you posted it has a section on Editing Ubuntu's filesystem table - That guide is also a bit out of date in places. I would suggest reading it over few times.. then search for a few more tutorials on mounting a filesystem manually with the mount command. [12:30] shiman: priv msg [12:30] nextplace: sure [12:30] Anyone know? [12:30] Totakeke: yes , but couple of months ago, can only tell you to get a tutorial an after copying the cd to usb manually edit startupfiles was my way [12:30] Dr_willis: I am editing the fstab file, it has the entries commented that it added, so I will just delete those lines and should be fine, thanks [12:30] afallenhope: nope, but I have no problems using msn accounts in pidgin. [12:31] pajamian, yah.. but it doesn't have webcam [12:31] Dr_willis: Then I will umount the partitions [12:31] Totakeke:got a live cd and the usb handy ? [12:31] theaxiom err... Unmount them first.. then remove them from fstab. May be better. :) [12:31] theaxiom but it may not matter. [12:31] Dr_willis: that's what I meant, thanks, heh [12:31] ScheissDrogen: Yes. [12:31] afallenhope: how did you install it? [12:31] hry [12:32] Totakeke:boot into live and use gparted [12:32] pajamian, sudo apt-get install amsn. It used to work... then pidgin asked for an update so it uninstalled a bunch of stuff [12:32] and MSN stopped wroking [12:32] ScheissDrogen: Alright. I'm actually on the Live CD as we speak lol [12:32] afallenhope: ahhhh, ok, I would try re-installing amsn, then. [12:33] Totakeke:if you (re)plug in usb, is it mentioned ? [12:33] pajamian, do you listen to what I said? lol I tried.. and I get the same issue [12:33] Totakeke, so what failed when you followed the guide at http://www.pendrivelinux.com exactly? [12:33] going to bed. I'll deal with this later... tempted to just do a fresh install, and reconfigure everything... tho I would need a LOT of help to reconfigure my system back to the way I want it [12:33] afallenhope: its broken, amsn doesnt connect, use pidgin or something else [12:33] hi - I was using hubackup which seemed to freeze - only way to shutdown computer was to physically remove the sdhc card which had been given as target for the backup - now the card does not get "seen" at all by the eeepc? [12:34] ActionParsnip1, it does [12:34] Oh, wait, that's pen drive linux. Missed that lol. No I haven't actually tried pendrivelinux, my mistake. [12:34] But I tried to install it from the CD directly to the flash drive earlier, and that failed miserably. [12:34] The 'pendrivelinux' web site has their own disrto/variant, theres also guides at the site for other disrtos. [12:34] afallenhope: ive seen a tonne of people with amsn woes [12:34] ActionParsnip1, I'm telling you it worked... aptitutde uninstalled it [12:35] !coning >Whiz2 [12:35] humpf [12:35] Totakeke, Dr_willis : http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/08/usb-ubuntu-804-persistent-install-via-the-live-cd/ [12:35] afallenhope: try: sudo apt-get install libgnutls13 [12:35] afallenhope: nice, i use pidgin as i use multiple protocols [12:36] DistroJockey, i perfer to use other disrtos then ubuntu on my pendrives. :) Ubuntu just dosent seem to work very well for me that way. [12:36] i'm trying to reset everything in /etc/apache2 (and /var/www/) the way it was when i first got it [12:36] <_FReeZ> Ubuntu sux [12:36] Dr_willis, yeah, have noticed that also :) [12:36] heh.. told you I was right [12:36] it was installed [12:36] i did a remove --purge, mv apache2 to apache2.backup and then install again, alas ... the apach2 directory doesn't reappear [12:36] except the *.so was in the wrong spot [12:37] anyone know what else i can try ? [12:37] Dr_willis, but handy if you need to install rather than use :) [12:37] action..does the wpa key has to be in hexa dezimal? [12:37] _FReeZ: No it doesn't, it's just your opinion [12:37] anyone remeber the BSOD screensaver? Also does anyone know where I could get it. It came with Suse 9 back in the day [12:37] afallenhope: hrmmmm, I wonder how that happened. Might want to file a bug on that. [12:37] !find BSOD [12:37] Package/file BSOD does not exist in hardy [12:37] Totakeke:if you (re)plug in usb, is it mentioned ? [12:37] _FReeZ, wrong channel for you then [12:37] !find BlueScreen [12:37] pajamian, nope. I didn't get any help here.. why should I help the developers? [12:37] Keiyentai, i recall it being in some extra screensaver package. Check the package manager perhaps. [12:37] File BlueScreen found in freedroidrpg-data [12:37] hi, i was wondering if there's a way to put internet quota/limit on ubuntu, so that whenever a user logs in and use the internet it will be recorded/limited (my internet is under quota, and the computer is used by several people). [12:37] <_FReeZ> Teisei, That's not just my opinion, that's a fact. [12:38] no, that's still not it... [12:38] _FReeZ, please chat elsewhere [12:38] k thanks [12:38] what does one do when ubuntu 8.04 suddenly stops being able to see a sdhc card??? [12:38] <_FReeZ> Teisei, Every advanced GNU/Linux user will tell you the same [12:38] afallenhope: because you'll be helping others with the same problem by extension. [12:38] Keiyentai: i think its part of xscreensaver-data-extra [12:39] _FReeZ: Most Linux users are not "advanced" [12:39] I suspect hubackup was still trying to write to it when I removed it - in order to shut the eeepc down.. and now it doesent see the card at all?? what to do? [12:39] ok thanks [12:40] hello ? [12:40] hi [12:40] !hi | dVs [12:40] Hi [12:40] dVs: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [12:40] whats gthe diff between universe multiverse etc ? [12:40] !repo [12:40] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories === neuro|irssi is now known as neuro_ [12:40] - I found a section in system|settings|removable drives and devices - but that is all about cameras and keyboards and stuff nothing about drives and sd cards?? [12:41] <_FReeZ> yes, I agree Teisei and more generally said, Most computer users are not "advanced" [12:41] dVs, check the urls ubottu just metioned. it should explain the terms. [12:41] woot wo [12:41] am doing it now thankx [12:41] !ot | _FReeZ [12:41] _FReeZ: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [12:41] _FReeZ, this is not the chat channel [12:41] <_FReeZ> bazhang, ok, why do you chat here, then? [12:41] anyone know if there is a gui for manageing mount points? I want to mount a 2nd HDD as /home and have it mount at startup. I could just edit /etc/fstab but I know there used to be a gui and it frustrates me AI can't find it. [12:42] grrr everytime i change my compiz settings Xchat like freezes [12:42] <[matrim]> _FReeZ : this is a support channel [12:42] _FReeZ: If you want to just chat, #ubuntu-offtopic exists for a reason. [12:42] anywho the BSOD screensaver was in the Xtra's so thank you :D [12:42] does anyone know of a text editor with PCRE based find/replace etc? [12:42] Kelemen__: compiz screws a lot of stuf up [12:42] <_FReeZ> that's right, now you're supporting a chat, [matrim] =) [12:42] bulwynkl, then theres the issue that in the time it took you to ask that Q. you could of edited the file. :) yes i rember ther ebeing a gui.. and no i dont rember where. Heh [12:43] Speeple: vim, btw [12:43] Hello, So far in Hardy a previously working microphone in my laptop does not work anymore, there are big problems with keyboard layout switching... Should I wait some more for the fixes or go back to Gutsy in the meantime? Thanks [12:43] <_FReeZ> And Pici is supporting the chat with you [matrim]. You're so kind. Thank you guys. :-D [12:43] vim as in vi? [12:43] yeah, it's not the doing it's the knowing... [12:43] Speeple: as in vim, not vi [12:43] OK [12:44] does it come with a GUI? [12:44] besides, the gui gets the config right so I don't have to think about it. [12:44] trying to switch to Ubuntu but I'm missing Ultraedit [12:44] I wonder what PCRE based rind/replace means... [12:44] Speeple: yup, install 'vim-gnome' [12:44] Speeple: gvim [12:44] Dr_willis: :%s/.../.../[opts] [12:44] I just thought it was a funny screensaver. My exwife saw the infamous BSOD but it was a Windows 98 one and she was "Hun....I thoguht you said you where using Linux....what the hell did you do to it to make it BSOD@!? and then it switched to the Mac Classic [12:44] I mean regex replace [12:44] Speeple: what functions does it offer? [12:44] what deadpanda said [12:44] but based on PCRE engine [12:44] was funny :D and is now my fav screensaver hehe [12:44] DeadPanda, oh. the 'normal' search/replace i use in vim. :) [12:45] well the main functionality I desire is PCRE based regex find/replace [12:45] Speeple: Vim's are probably as close to PCRE as you'll get [12:45] OK cool cheers [12:45] Speeple: And as concise [12:45] in vim, :s/foo/bar/ [12:45] IIRC [12:45] Speeple: I know that emacs has re based search/replace [12:45] I am curious why a vendor hasn't utilized PCRE, it is open source itself [12:45] Regular Expressions are fun [12:45] Speeple: an I'm sure lots of other editors do as well. [12:46] Speeple: Komodo does too, I think, or at least close to it [12:46] Komodo? [12:46] is that proprietary by activestate? [12:46] Speeple: python editor [12:46] Speeple: though usually when I want to do a search/replace with a regexp I just use a perl command line for it. [12:46] yeah IDE, is it proprietary [12:47] Speeple: That's the one, I only use it for editing some filetypes on Windows, on Linux I'm in Vim/Emacs most of the time [12:47] OK [12:47] I could use a Perl script [12:47] etc... [12:47] Speeple: you can do it from the command line [12:47] Speeple: and on multiple files too [12:47] but I've been forced into habit by UltraEdit (which is actually very good software) [12:47] Speeple: Command line (sed) or an editor, often I'll use Vim to test/build regex's I'm going to script [12:48] Does anyone how to start a program on a specific screen using Xinerama for Nvidia 6200 GPU using binary drivers on Ubuntu 8.04? | I only want to start VLC in that mode when a DVD-video is inserted. VLC opens standard when DVD is inserted but on wrong screen. [12:48] Devilspie doesn't seem to provide enough control for this situation [12:48] so you do test for Perl? Meaning the regex is perl compatible? [12:48] Speeple: nope, I just test it does what I want it to [12:48] it's actually the syntax I wish to be the same [12:48] Speeple: this may come in handy for you: perl -pi -e 's/foo/bar/' *.html [12:48] why xinerama with proprietary drivers? [12:48] nice cheers :) [12:49] wols_: because the open drivers don't provide enough speed for 3D [12:49] jorrit_, i alwyas use 'twinview' with the nvidia drivers and disable xinearams [12:49] jorrit_: they don't provide any 3D. but the question was: why xinerama [12:49] oops xinerama [12:49] hi does ccmalloc work with shared lib [12:50] I've switched back from KDE to Gnome today, but have noticed the system keeps hanging for like 10-15 seconds quite frequently. [12:50] Is this a regular problem? [12:50] I've only got text editor and a pdf document open. [12:50] Dr_willis, I want to have apps in fullscreen, restricted to that screen and not pasted over my two monitors, that's why I use Xinerama with seperate X-screens (not displays) [12:51] Trader_T: does it cruch the HDD when it happens? [12:51] can any one tell me about ccmalloc ? [12:51] jorrit_: just add the resolution 1280*768;0x0 to your xorg.conf [12:51] rubyonrails, what is that [12:51] sorry, what does cruch mean? [12:51] jorrit_: syntax war something like that, there you will only use one screen for fullscreen [12:51] after inserting entries in ldap i can't find them when i do a ldapsearch, can anyone help me with this? [12:51] does ccmalloc work with shared library [12:52] jorrit_, err... thats the reason i do not use xinerama - But i use twinview to set up one very wide display with 2 monitors. i do not use 2 seperate X sessions. From what i recall twinview does everything xinerama does.. and more. [12:52] Trader_T: I mean do you see a lot of hard disk activity when it's hanging, like you can hear the HDD going and the light is on or flickering fast? [12:52] would it be albe to detect leak in my shared library [12:52] DFH-iceroot: that can also be screen 1 instead of screen 0? [12:52] jorrit_, but perhaps more clarification on how you have thign setup is needed. [12:53] i've installed eric but whenever i run it wont show up [12:53] !eric [12:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about eric [12:53] pajamian: the light has been pushed in, so can't see it lol. But no, cannot hear any HDD activity [12:53] !info eric [12:53] eric (source: eric): full featured Python IDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.1.1-1ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 2967 kB, installed size 16956 kB [12:53] jorrit_, for example . I have a 'wide' desktop across 2 monitors. and i have mythtv set where it shows up on monitor #1 fullscreen. [12:53] Dr_willis, ok what do you need? do you want my Xconfig-file in the pastebin to peruse? [12:54] What is an ALSA_Sequencer? (appears in Device Manager: "Device file: /dev/snd/seq"). [12:54] jorrit_, if you want to use 2 seperate indipendant X displays where you cant drag a window from one monitor to another. You would have to run the apps and set the display variable befor you run the app. [12:54] Trader_T: ok, nonetheless, run "top" in the terminal and type an M (capital M) when it's running to sort by memory usage, and see what's at the top of the list and if it's using up a a lot or all of your system's memory. [12:54] hi [12:54] Dr_willis, I can drag my screens from one to the other without problems [12:55] Dr_willis, they can even overlap. [12:56] jorrit_, you mean windows? In that case you should be able to just disable xinerama and enable twinview and keep doing the same thing. Full screen apps will then fullscreen to the monitor they are on. (or so its been in my experience) [12:56] jorrit_: you can also write 0x0,1280*768 but please google for the correct syntax, dont know them [12:56] Dr_willis, true, but I want to start VLC when DVD is inserted on a fixed screen automatically. [12:57] jorrit_: NULL,1280*768 or NONE,1280*768 something like that [12:57] salve! [12:57] DIFH-iceroot, I'll dive into the manpages concerning Xconfig [12:57] 1280X768@ [12:57] jorrit_: ok, good luck [12:57] Really sorry for asking noob questions here. But I really can't seem to figure out this one. Im trying to install java JDK, and ive downloaded the java rpm bin file, then I do what the java sun site says, but all that does is pump out 8-9 other rpm files to the desktop. And still there is no java / javac command functioning. Tried several ways to install the package with chmod , sh and some others, but I cant seem to understand this. Anyone [12:58] !HI ERMA91 [12:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about hi erma91 [12:58] haughty: no no no! [12:58] DIFH-iceroot, thxs for the pointers! [12:58] jorrit_, check the command line options for vlc would be a good place to start also. [12:58] haughty: rpm? [12:58] pajamian: soffice.bin is top, followed by nautilus [12:58] !hi| ERMA91 [12:58] haughty, dont do it that way [12:58] ERMA91: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [12:58] haughty: you are using ubuntu not suse [12:58] jorrit_, every time ive ever used xinerama and 'fullscreened' things - they took over both screens. So good luck [12:58] Tried the non rpm first... and I got it unpacked into a directory with bin dirs etc... [12:58] Trader_T: close openoffice and see if it helps. [12:58] haughty: just type "sudo apt-get install sun-java-6 [12:58] sorry [12:58] pajamian: although, it was hanging before I opened office [12:58] i'm italian!

[12:59] sorry :) [12:59] Trader_T: ok, well then I'm not sure what it is. how often does it happen? [12:59] jorrit_, may be some extra vlc config /setting also. I tend to use gmplayer. So you are on your own. [12:59] jorrit_, you might need to make an appropriate .desktop file and modify /etc/gnome/defaults.list (the x-content/video-dvd line I guess) [12:59] I just find English support better than Finnish, for some reason [13:00] Dr_willis, I might be tempted to use that same player if I can get it working, I'm not tied to any player :-D [13:00] :) [13:00] 1,6ghz p4 m laptop running at 59C....is this an acceptable temp? [13:00] it does some initializing package etc but then I get some errors that it couldnt find a package with that name.. [13:00] so no packages will be installed :/ [13:00] haughty: hmm, which Ubuntu release are you on?

[13:02] ERICHMOBILE: for me this would be to much [13:02] DIFH-iceroot, it is for me too, thats why i ask. thing gets really hot sometimes [13:02] ERICHMOBILE: nar just in the openings is ok [13:02] haughty: Follow the steps at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu to enable the Multiverse/Universe repositories, and try again [13:02] ActionParsnip1, ok [13:02] ah, now it downloads it I assume =) [13:02] DIFH-iceroot, this is also while charging battery [13:02] ERICHMOBILE: do it both directions too [13:02] pajamian: seems consistent, compiz.real seems to be using cpu, not sure what it is [13:02] haughty: and after it is installed, you should run "sudo update-java-alternatives --set java-6-sun" To make sure the java and javac-commands point to the new version [13:02] !compiz | Trader_T [13:03] Trader_T: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [13:03] ActionParsnip1, ok BRB!

[13:05] pajamian: thanks for the help [13:05] robelliott2125, gksu gedit /etc/hosts [13:05] Trader_T: as for being consistent, I would look at your cron jobs to see if anything is set to run every two minutes. Also watch the top display and wait for it to happen again and see if anything jumps to the top of the display while it's locked up or shortly before or after. [13:05] robelliott2125: Have you changed your hostname lately? [13:05] gksu gedit /etc/hosts [13:05] thanks arvind_khadri - What am i looking for? [13:06] No Pici, just my password [13:06] !hostname [13:06] Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab [13:06] robelliott2125: well, in any case, /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname must match, yes.. thanks ubottu [13:06] after running eric i get these errors : http://paste.org/index.php?id=3625 , whtas the problem ? [13:06] pajamian: It's not so consistent, seems I had loads of windows open in Firefox - looks like it's sorted, maybe that was the problem [13:06] why does sudo need the hostname? [13:06] Dr_willis, thanks for that ... i had forgotten that trigger :) [13:06] Pici, i've no reason to change my hostname, its still robert. [13:07] arvind_khadri, yep. :) see someone here about once a week that has a hosts file with their hostname-HOME in it.. not sure how that happens. [13:07] robelliott2125: No, it looks like its robert-desktop [13:07] Trader_T: probably. [13:07] pajamian: thanks again [13:07] siavasht: Are you running it as root, and if so, why? [13:07] re-bonjour à tous :) me revoilà avec un petit probleme [13:07] Trader_T: could have been one window was on a web page that was set to reload every two minutes or so. [13:07] Creative Hostnames are so fun! 'desktop-username' is so dull. [13:08] could have been [13:08] Dr_willis, strange [13:08] slavash: http://osdir.com/ml/ide.eric/2006-11/msg00003.html [13:08] no matter which user , i still get those warnings and errors [13:08] Pici, even so, as robert-desktop, its not changed [13:08] robelliott2125: In any case, do those two files match? or if you arent sure, can you pastebin both of them?

My laptop freezes sometimes, i can't do anything... earlyer versions of ubuntu hadn't this error... Using asus f5 x50m model, amd turion 64(mobile thechnilogy mk - 36), 1GB of rams, NV geforceGo 6100.

It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [13:12] milligan_ pajamian:what is this ? [13:13] Pici, is it just changing hosts to hostname [13:13]  pajamian: it is a text mode installer then how i will install it..any help becaz i only use gui [13:13] robelliott2125: Yes, sorry. [13:13] ActionParsnip1, i usually leave it plugged in so maybe thats just it. ill leave it unplugged for a bit [13:13] Ok. Thats done: http://paste.ubuntu.com/39381/ [13:13] dabbu: the installer is text mode, but it's still very easy. It works on many computers where the live CD doesn't work. [13:13] hi, i installed vmware server console on ubuntu, but when I try to run it, it says I need gcc, but I have gcc 4.2 installed. Can anyone help me please? [13:14]  pajamian: soi am talking to a right person...thanks [13:14] Really sorry again, but Now i've tried reloading the syaptic manager, and when I try to install java6-JDK, It states that it cant find java6-JRE wich is wrong ? Need to manually fix this package ... hmh [13:14] haughty: sun-java6-jdk [13:14] BeCreative, I had the same problem. It's just a matter of linking some libraries, if you have in fact installed it. [13:14] yeah [13:15] robelliott2125, make line 2: 127.0.1.1 robert-desktop.homenetwork robert-desktop [13:15] BeCreative:did you simply try update/grade ? [13:15] Thanks DistroJockey [13:15] I type install sun-java6-JDK , but it states it cant find the JRE .... [13:15] yes ScheissDrogen [13:15] Is there a way to hide my icons on the desktop, but now remove them? [13:15] robelliott2125, you're welcome [13:15] haughty: it's case sensitive. type: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk [13:15] milligan_: how do i link them then? [13:16] yep.. .thats what I did [13:16] haughty: and what was the exact error message (copy and paste, please)? [13:16] Do you know what would have caused that DistroJockey? [13:16] BeCreative: apt-cache search gcc ?? [13:16] 2sec [13:17] BeCreative, what's the error you get when you try to start the console ? [13:17] robelliott2125, not really. Depends what you did :) [13:17] lol, was trying to resetup my SAMBA and my fusesmb shares last night [13:17] milligan_: view pm [13:18] robelliott2125, could be related :) [13:18] But it never happened last time i did it DistroJockey... I seem to be having more problems since upgrading to Hardy than when i was on Gutsy [13:19] Can't find things like "Shared Folders" so I can setup my samba shares, which i've been following a simple video tut. [13:19] robelliott2125, yeah, upgrading can cause a few issues. I always prefer a clean install personally [13:19] milligan_: did you get it? [13:19] BeCreative, run the following commands as sudo: cd /usr/lib/vmware-server-console/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 mv libgcc_s.so.1 libgcc_s.so.1.org cd ../libpng12.so.0 mv libpng12.so.0 libpng12.so.0.org [13:19] robelliott2125: Gutsy used be a lot more stable for me too, but most of the bugs seem to have been worked out of Hardy by now. [13:19] I had to DistroJockey, clean install that is. Only thing not clean is my /home folder. Since the upgrade messed up [13:20] pajamian, its not that i'm complaining about something free, but what i'm used to having in gutsy has gone on this. [13:20] robelliott2125, ahh. Yeah, I don't try and use the same home folder either [13:20] Unless you know what your doing, i don't, your screwed! lol [13:20] hello, i am a Xubuntu-newbie from germany, i have a Problem and some questions, can somebody help me? [13:20] robelliott2125: yeah, I understand, I'm just letting you know I've noticed the problems with Hardy too.

Just need to overcome this "shared folders" bit now...

[13:22] robelliott2125, I use a /home on a separate partition with a different user name for each install, and access what I need out of the other home directories [13:22] Chickengeorge: you need to ask that in #xubuntu [13:23] cause i want to buy new pc but I want to check my hardware...if it's supported [13:23] wenn mir jemand auf deutsch antworten kann ist natürlich auch okay [13:23] I do the same DistroJockey, but keep the same username. [13:23] Your idea isn't a bad one i guess. But then you just clutter up the drive.

Only other thing i've got to sort out now, is my firefox plugin... How do I install it? Through Firefox, or through terminal? [13:25] robelliott2125: what plugin? [13:25] Sorry pajamian, Java [13:25] robelliott2125: I would install that through synaptic or apt.

I had it working last night for about ten minutes, and then it stopped again for no apparent reasin. [13:30] Hi, how do I install cdfs in ubuntu ? Basically, I would like to access individual song/files of an Audio CD. [13:31] hi [13:31] aptitude search cdfs gives one result cdfs-src, installing which mount cannot mount the audio cd still (with -t cdfs flag ) [13:31] reel_: define "access", do you want to rip the songs off of the CD or just play them? [13:32] pajamian, I want to access it from with my program that uses lib-xine. [13:32] !hi | Jahman [13:32] Jahman: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [13:33] reel_: most of the programs I use just work for that. [13:34] pajamian. let us say I wish to install cdfs alone and use it to mount a audio CD. ubuntu doesnt seem to have the correct package. :( [13:34] Anyone have luck getting Broadcom wifi to work on Ubuntu?

[13:36] reel_: the cdfs-src package *might* do what you need. [13:37] reel_: sorry, I don't know anything else about it. I would say you may be using the wrong syntax for mounting or just have a search on google, maybe you can find more answers.

How can i fix it? === tusho is now known as tusho|away [13:39] Pici,pajamian, I installed cdfs-src and tried sudo mount -t cdfs /dev/sd0 /media/cd , I get the error "mount: unknown filesystem type 'cdfs'" [13:40] OK, this is going to sound bad but... how do I get a "terminal"? === tusho|away is now known as tusho [13:40] Applications>accesories [13:40] Lucenut: Applications / Accessories / Terminal [13:40] Gracias. [13:40] np [13:41] reel_: what happens if you leave out the "-t cdfs"? [13:41] when i'm using ubuntu and all the available ram is filled but there is some spare swap space what happens? [13:41] samphippen: the system is going to be alot slower at least [13:41] pajamian, "mount: you must specify the filesystem type" [13:41] vega-, is it still running? [13:41] samphippen: The answer to that is pretty obvious, isn't it? [13:41] samphippen: yes, until the swap runs out [13:42] vega--, just... really really slowly? [13:42] samphippen: it will get a lot slower and you will see a lot of hard drive access. It could slow to a near crawl. [13:42] well, depends on a lot what you are running [13:43] vega--, a math crunchy program in C++ that has a massive array [13:43] samphippen: that will probably slow it to a crawl, then. [13:43] samphippen, also depends on your hard drive and it's layout [13:43] how could I know what is my audio manager? [13:43] sounds like you need to get some ram.. [13:43] its slowing down the whole system [13:43] thats my problem [13:43] i want to be using all my ram... and still have a working system [13:43] reel_: cdfs-src needs to export the tracks from the cd, its not going to do what you want I dont think. [13:44] samphippen: how much RAM do you have? [13:44] paigeadele, 2 gigs [13:44] samphippen: and how much is it going over the limit? [13:44] I can't modify my etc/apt/sources.list file, it's saying I don't have the permission to. [13:44] How do I modify it? [13:44] samphippen: The Linux kernel will use your RAM and your swap in the most efficient manner it thinks is viable for the task it is doing. [13:44] !sudo | Miyavix3 [13:44] Miyavix3: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [13:44] Miyavix3: sudo [13:44] salut j'ai installé apache et quand j'essaye de me connecté par mon ip ca me ddis forbiden cheyenne pas la permission localhost 80 comment ca se fais svp ??? [13:44] Pici, can I increase swapiness? [13:45] Pici, by export you mean ripping tracks out of cd ? [13:45] samphippen, you might need/want to renice that process [13:45] samphippen: You can, but the defaults are usually sane. [13:45] sudo what? [13:45] samphippen: keep in mind that if it runs out of swap also the kernel is going to start killing processes in no particular order.. [13:45] reel_: Essentially, yes. [13:45] Miyavix3: sudo /etc/apt/sources.list [13:45] vega-, I have a 4.9 Gigabyte swap available to me, I might need some more [13:45] oh thanks [13:45] vega--, Miyavix3: gksudo should be used for graphical applications, fyi. [13:46] yes, true [13:46] Pici, fyi?? [13:46] Pici, any idea what the command would be to export the files ? since there is nothing interesting in my system starting with "cd" [13:46] why do file permissions of ntfs not carry over into linux? [13:46] arvind_khadri: fo your information [13:47] Pici, :) i read it as something else :) [13:47] Pici, gksu would be better than using gksudo [13:47] DistroJockey: Why is that? [13:47] why can i delete or view a file on linux that i have to login to vista to view? [13:48] reel_: Hrm. looks like the only thing that cdfs-src provides is /usr/src/cdfs.tar.bz2 [13:48] Pici, how do you know that ? Could you share the command please ? [13:48] Pici, from man gksu "You can force the backend by using the gksudo command" [13:49] OK, I did the lspci and see "0000:02:03.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)" [13:49] reel_: you want the tracks from an audio cd into .wav to your harddisk?

[13:49] !broadcom >Lucenut [13:49] Lucenut, please see my private message [13:49] reel_: I used apt-file show cdfs-src, since I dont have that package installed. You could either install apt-file, or use dpkg -L cdfs-src [13:49] vega--, no :( just mount the audio CD and should be able to access individual tracks there. [13:50] I'm trying to follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [13:50] Pici, Thanks [13:50] reel_: ok, never mind then [13:50] is there a way to enable aria 2 in flashgot? [13:50] vega--, okay [13:51] Lucenut: all I did for broadcomm wireless on my laptop was run the restricted drivers manager and follow the instructions to enable it from there.

[14:49] chimp, find . -maxdepth 1 -name some_username -exec mv {} ./foo \; [14:49] Hello, I've suppenly become unable to use youtube, it says I need to enable flash or install latest version. I just want to check if this is a change youtube made or something wrong with my machine? 6 Hours ago it worked perfectly and I haven't made any changes [14:49] The-Compiler: it's my whole output, sorry [14:49] and I don't understand more than you :D [14:49] The-Compiler, i think the first line got lost :) [14:49]  Araen:sudo mount -a (one cmd) then paste : mount - l (small L) [14:49] chimp, i haven't tested the command out - so be careful [14:49] unop: how do i remove it then [14:49] Av1, sorry? [14:50] Av1: Which? What exactly are you hoping to accomplish? [14:50] Is there any DNS Server I can set up that can do wildcard traffic redirection? [14:51] Av1:sudo apt-get install pastebinit && dpkg --get-selections > pastebinit ,then give url [14:51] ScheissDrogen: mount: The mount point doesn't exist [14:51] Why can't I see shares on my network? [14:51] Pici: i have uninstalled ATI graphics card installed by EnvyNG and now trying to remove the package so that i can install the drivers from its official site [14:51] sorry to be a bugger, but I am using Debian, and as far as the XServer component,s besides some of the config files, this should apply to both debian and ubuntu, I am having trouble getting the window decorations or even emeral to work. Is this common, and is there a quick fix besides reformatting and try again? [14:51] such as all *.com to 192.x.x.x [14:51] ScheissDrogen, you want | there not > [14:52] AbyssDEhelp: no, there is everything :-° [14:52] Av1:sudo apt-get install pastebinit && dpkg --get-selections | pastebinit ,then give url [14:52] if you want I can take a screen [14:52] zemlyanin, i believe bind can do this . [14:52] Av1: Using envyng is the reccomended way of installing the 'latest' proprietary drivers, not by using third party packages, are you aware of this? [14:52] unop: hope so [14:52] Any bind9 tutorials that explain this? [14:52] Pici: i am aware of it [14:52] so nobody know why I've this problem ? [14:52] zemlyanin, best you ask about this in #bind perhaps [14:52] k [14:52] Pici: but its not working fine with EnvNg [14:53] unop: ta that worked, though i needed to use -user and not -name [14:53]  Araen:gedit /etc/fstab , please paste that file, too [14:53] Av1: if you run envyng again there should be an option for envyng to remove the drivers [14:53] Av1: Did you have an ATI or Nvidia card? [14:53] chimp, well -name does something different .. and you can have both -user and -name together [14:54] Pici: ATI card [14:54] unop: Yep, just in my case i was looking for a specific user, ta [14:54] chimp, ahh i get what you mean -- my typo [14:54] ScheissDrogen: http://paste.ubuntu.com/39402/ [14:55] Av1: I believe tha package it installs is xorg-driver-fglrx-envy, but running envyng itself might let you remove it and remove xorg options at the same time, but you'll have to look at it. [14:55]  Araen:oo, thats the fstab of the live cd.. [14:55] Pici: i have removed the packages [14:55] ah :-° [14:56] how can I go to the real fstab ? [14:56]  Araen:sudo mkdir /mnt/root [14:57] Pici: should i manually select the drivers in EnvyNg or install it from Offical site? [14:57] Hi all, complete newb here. I have the wifi working on my laptop, but can't browse network shares. [14:57] hello, guys! Could anyone help me? I neet an iperf-server running on the Internet to test my connection [14:57] ScheissDrogen: ok, and then ? [14:57] I can see the other PCs on the network but when I drill down into one I can't see the shared drives/ [14:57] mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/root [14:57] Av1: Using packages (envyng) is always the reccomended way. [14:58] Araen: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/root [14:58] hi, erveryone. My internet provider had implanted a vpn based on l2tp over ipsec. could anyone help me to configure my ubuntu hardy, so it can connect to the vpn [14:58] Pici: manual or automatic? [14:58] hi everybody [14:58] Araen: error about filesystem ? [14:58] Av1: I assume you used automatic before... so try manual if you think that will work better. [14:58] ScheissDrogen: I mount my linux partition ? [14:58] Hi Brian_herman [14:58] ScheissDrogen: heu, no, I don't think, when ? [14:59] Pici: if that also does not work then what should i do? [14:59] Araen: if the commnad simply returned no error, it's fine [14:59] Does anybuddy know why I can not get visual effects working on my Ubuntu VM ?? [14:59] Araen: cd /mnt/root/etc [14:59] ScheissDrogen: yes, I've an error, /dev/sda1 doesn't exist === philippe_ is now known as philippe === extra is now known as extra_d [15:00] T-0-N-I-C: Since it's a virtual machine theres no hardware acceleration for graphics [15:00] Hey, I want to change gnome's default actions on inserting a CD or connecting my ipod.. basically i want to use banshee instead of rhythmbox. [15:00] Pici: how can i check if my ATI card is working? [15:01] Araen: sudo gparted [15:01] done :) [15:01] Av1: fglrxinfo is one way [15:01] Araen: we now try to rebuild parti-table [15:01] Thats what i was thinking but my Gentoo VM works vine [15:01] Vixus, go to your home, then EDIT->PREFERENCES->MEDIA [15:01] ScheissDrogen, Araen: gksudo gparted is better.. see !gksudo [15:01] fine* [15:02] Av1: Note, you'll need to restart X before you see any changes after installing a new video card driver [15:02] Mimi, thanks! [15:02] ScheissDrogen: [15:02] T-0-N-I-C: Are you trying to use the same effects on both machines? [15:02] what must I do now ? [15:02] Pici: id does not show if you ATi is installed or not? [15:02] Araen: you see your swap at the end of the disk ? [15:02] Yes for the most part [15:02] yes [15:02] am I the only one that thinks NetworkManager should have PPP support? [15:03] Pici: it does not show if your ATi is installed or not i mean the status [15:03] ScheissDrogen: my partition table : http://img362.imageshack.us/my.php?image=capturerq5.png [15:03] ConstyXIV: it doesn't? I seem to recall there being some kind of ppp-menu.. or? [15:03] simplyunmount it, deletze it and put it back in the same place (got your farmer paste still inbrowser) [15:03] Av1: What does it tell you? [15:03] Has anyone tried to use Creative Webcam Live! under ubuntu? [15:03] Slart: it only has wired and wifi. no options to flip on my EDGE. [15:04] I would jist like to install it but I do not think it will read my sprint internet card [15:04] The program 'fglrxinfo' is currently not installed. [15:04] aldroid.. i havent.. but check their site for some drivers for linux.. maybe.. [15:04] Araen: stop ! [15:04] Av1: Have you installed the ATI drivers yet? [15:04] ScheissDrogen: what ? [15:04] is it possible to use two different email accounts in alpine? [15:04] Pici: no i have not [15:04] Araen: your filesystem is encrypted [15:04] Av1: Then you cannot do that command.... [15:05] illuminate: ubuntu has gsca and zc0301 kmodules at hand... [15:05] Araen: in this manner we can't access it than [15:05] Pici: no other way of finding it? [15:05] ScheissDrogen: yes, also I do... ? [15:05] illuminate: but dmesg says they are BOTH loaded during startup. [15:05] ConstyXIV: hmm.. let me check my laptop.. I don't have a modem on my desktop [15:05] I rebooted and came up with some file system errors, so it started in a recovery console. I was using 'watch' while rebuilding the array, and now I can't seem to exit it, any ideas ? [15:05] Av1: Do you just want to know if Ubuntu sees your video card? Not necessarily knows how to use it? [15:06] aldroid- sorry bro.. i wish i could help more.. but im new myself.. i was just throwing that out there if you needed something to start with :P [15:06] i am having problems about adding the medibuntu repo, here is the error Failed to fetch http://packages.medibuntu.org/dists/hardy/Release Unable to find expected entry free/binary-lpia/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?) [15:06] Pici: yes [15:06] Av1: lspci then [15:06] anybody had solved this issue before? [15:06] Hi all, I,m flowing this nice howto about install fake raid system on ubuntu hardy everything goes well except where it sys: "apt-get install ubuntu-base" Maybe its not ubuntu-base anymore under hardy? [15:06] ConstyXIV: on my laptop running gutsy I have a "dial up" menu in the network manager that I can use to connect to ppp0 [15:07] whats up fellas [15:07] Araen: did you already did any changes in gparted ? [15:07] xukun: you just have to use a live cd where you use dmraid to "activate" your fakeraid, then you can install ubuntu [15:07] Pici: it is showing me [15:07] the ATI card [15:07] ScheissDrogen: no [15:08] close it without saving then- the encryption is the cause for the failed mounting of sda1 [15:08] Can anyone help me getting my external screen to work? It's just a black screen. Tried google it and found no useable solutions :( [15:08] ScheissDrogen: it's closed [15:09] Araen: sudo partprobe [15:09] ScheissDrogen: Warning: Unable to open /dev/scd1 read-write (Read-only file system). /dev/scd1 has been opened read-only. [15:09] DIFH-iceroot, I did try to install the fake raid under the live cd after activating dmraid. but then I got errors when I partition the disk under fdisk but with this howto I got no errors [15:09] hello, i just upgraded my xubuntu dapper to feisty and my swedish chars is gone, any suggestions? [15:09] grub!|ScheissDrogen [15:10] !grub|ScheissDrogen [15:10] ScheissDrogen, please see my private message [15:10] erik_ go to the resolution changing app and hit clone screens when your other monitor is connected and it should work [15:10] Araen: scd1 = cd - rom, not writeable :) [15:10] DIFH-iceroot, all I need is I think replace apt-get install ubuntu-base" with other package name I think [15:10] erki_ system-preferences-screen resolution [15:10] What is an ALSA_Sequencer? (appears in Device Manager: "Device file: /dev/snd/seq"). [15:10] xukun: dont know never done it like that [15:10] can I authenticate repositories that I have from ppa.launchpad.net so to can use the update manager for updates? some times can't complete because some repos aren't authenticated [15:11] DIFH-iceroot, thanks anyway [15:11] and dpkg-reconfigure locales and dpkg-recon... console-data does no diff [15:11] zod21.. thnx! tried it, but nothing happens. When I enable it it tjecks alright, but when I open it again it has untjecked [15:12] Pici: what does this mean"32-Bit packages must be installed for 64-Bit Linux drivers to install or work. " [15:12] thats wierd [15:12] Araen: k, as that is through then, lets try to get ubu running and after put an option for booting win in it???is win encrypted ??? [15:12] Anyone here good at ATI graph w/ Extended monitoring? [15:12] erik_ huh i dunno man, sounds to me like you have thats a system error [15:12] yes.. I can see the startup of ubuntu alright but when the loginscreen apear the screen goes black [15:12] Osse: do let me know if you get help for ATI cards [15:13] <_stijn_> hey quick question [15:13] Araen: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [15:13] <_stijn_> difference between su and sudo :s [15:13] erik_ what kind of computer do you have ubuntu on [15:13] Oh, hi Av1. I need help with extending - I want to use My TV as a side for my monitor. [15:13] erik_ this is probably the reason [15:13] So that I can watch movies and such on the TV. [15:13] Osse: can you help me to install ATI X1300 in ubuntu [15:13] laptop.. Zeptp Znote 6615WD, 2Ghz dual core, Nvidia 7800GO... [15:14] Araen: !sudo  _stijn_ [15:14] Av1 - You need drivers? [15:14] Osse: yes [15:14] ScheissDrogen: I was already read it [15:14] and it doesn't work [15:14] !sudo > _stijn_ [15:14] Araen: sudo grub [15:14] _stijn_, please see my private message [15:14] Osse: the official website says to "32-Bit packages must be installed for 64-Bit Linux drivers to install or work. " [15:14] You use 64bits? [15:14] Osse: yes [15:15] Araen: find /boot/grub/stage1 [15:15] Oh, can't help you there. I haven't gotten anything good out of the 64 bits =/ [15:15] erik_ well ive never messed with linux on that kind of laptop but sometimes, linux just doesnt wanna work on some systems. one of my friends has an hp and ubuntu absolutely will not work. [15:15] I recommend you get the 32 bits. [15:15] Araen: output ? [15:15] Osse: can you help me get 32bit package [15:15] so whats about that new alsa in hardy that broke all my sound stuff... mic works but then headphones and speakers the same, or headphones and speakers seperate but no mic (with options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-6ch) or so... [15:15] (hd0, 4) [15:15] :( [15:15] ScheissDrogen: (hd0, 4) [15:16] erik_ no idea why, i have a dell and it works like a charm, but since linux doesnt use drivers you have to have a system the os has been configured for [15:16] Osse: so all you want is TV-Out so you can watch movies on tv? [15:16] Osse: cause it said 32bit must be installed for 64bit to run [15:16] zod21: well ubuntu runs fine on the laptop screen. The external monitor though turns black when the loginscreen appears [15:16] but im out.. got class_ [15:16] Av1 - You need the 32 bit dist of Ubuntu. [15:16] you [15:17] Osse: 64 bit Ubuntu is bad? [15:17] Araen: lets change to #grub for a moment (/join #grub) [15:17] I dislike it alot, I haven't gotten anything working properly on it. [15:17] Av1: no it's not bad ... just extremely difficult to learn how to use. [15:17] Anyone has a solution for external monitor going black after startup? [15:17] Av1: no, it all depends [15:17] It's not anything someone that's fairly new should use. I recommend the Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop 32bit. [15:18] 64-bit isn't very different from 32-bit .. there are some isolated things that aren't available for 64bit. but other than that it's fine [15:18] Av1: have been running it for 6months [15:18] atlef: can you help me with ATI drivers installation then [15:18] Anyone here mastered the art of extending desktops? ATI X1600-series. [15:18] Av1: how have you tried to installed them [15:18] hi, im trying to install a theme, but it looks like i odnt have kde development packages installed... what are their package names? [15:18] *install [15:19] Av1: i agree with Osse, there's very little real reason to use 64 bit for a daily use desktop. [15:19] PPKuma: search in synaptic for kde and dev [15:19] Osse: so all you want is TV-Out so you can watch movies on tv? [15:19] legend2440 - Yes. [15:19] Slart thanks === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib [15:19] dmizer: with more than 4gb of ram, yes it is [15:19] atlef: i tried installing it with envyNg [15:20] Osse: what happens now when you play movies? anything show on tv? [15:20] atlef: who needs more than 4 gig of ram on a daily desktop? [15:20] Av1: and no luck? [15:20] PPKuma: I'm guessing kde4-devel [15:20] I haven't been able to extend it. How does it work? [15:20] !info kde4-devel | PPKuma [15:20] ppkuma: kde4-devel (source: meta-kde4): the K Desktop Environment version 4 development files and modules. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.3 (hardy), package size 2 kB, installed size 36 kB [15:20] atlef: it does not work properly [15:20] dmizer: i for one, and maybe some other people [15:20] Av1: envy or the driver [15:21] does anyone have a minute to help me install java won ubuntu 8.04? [15:21] PPKuma: or kde-devel if you're using kde 3 [15:21] !java | illuminate: [15:21] illuminate:: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [15:21] illuniate.. i'm trying to install java 1.3 put with no luck [15:21] atlef: the video [15:21] don't understand why ppl hate on 64-bit. It works fine for me - never ran into anything that doesn't work and need lots of memory for audio production. If you don't use it fine, but don't run it down [15:21] thanks guys... ill ask if i need anything :D [15:21] i was able to install java 6 though [15:21] atlef: i guess that should be with driver itself [15:22] atlef: in any case ... i did say that there is "very little" reason for it. needing more than 4 gig of ram is certainly a valid claim. [15:22] Osse: not sure what you mean by extend it. the way i use mine with ati radeon 9600 is i hook up tv with s-video cable and then boot computer and start play avi with mplayer and it shows movie on computer screen and tv [15:22] atlef: and when i see the graphics card offical site [15:22] Av1: have you tried to uninstall the driver with envy and install it with the hardware divers in the admin menu [15:22] I'll try that legend, thanks. [15:23] atlef: it says 32-Bit packages must be installed for 64-Bit Linux drivers to install or work. [15:23] dmizer: see, we need 64bit [15:23] Av1: that makes no sense to me, but maybe someone else knows [15:23] how to install file.tar.gz [15:24] atlef: whats the advantage of using 64bit [15:24] !tar | cuil: [15:24] cuil:: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [15:24] i am unable to use java 1.3.1 on ubuntu.. it gives Segmentation fault. anybody can help? i have ubuntu 8.04 [15:24] hmm.. my terminal.. when i go to start it.. it stops "responding" [15:24] How to install .tar.gz?? [15:24] cuil.. file.tar.dz is equivalent to file.zip you dont install it.. you uncompress it [15:24] cuil: what program are you trying to install that requires a tar? [15:25] atlef: whats the advantage of using 64bit [15:25] !pm | cuil [15:25] cuil: 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. [15:25] Av1: The only advantage is if you have more than 4gb of ram. [15:25] s/only/only noticable/ [15:25] Pici: it does not make processing faster in 64 bit [15:25] Hi all - Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 32bit doesn't even recognize 3gb of out of my 4gb of RAM. The BIOS, memtest, and 'lshw -C memory' all show 4gb, but 'free -m' shows only 2gb. dmesg does suggest "Memory: 2050428k/4194304k available" [15:25] I rebooted and came up with some file system errors, so it started in a recovery console. I was using 'watch' while rebuilding the array, and now I can't seem to exit/break it, any ideas ? [15:26] i want to install linux-fetion-0.8.0.tar.gz on ubuntu7.10 [15:26] did anybody manage to successfully install and use java 1.3.1 on ubuntu 8.04 and used it?? [15:26] mmartinn: there are some BIOS settings that can mess things up... I helped someone with that problem a few days ago.. let me see if I can find the webpage again [15:26] Av1: No, modern CPUs can process 32bit instructions at a speed comparable to 64bit ones, you are not going to see an improvment unless you are doing things that require that much computational power, such as 3D rendering. [15:27] atlef: is the processing faster in 64 bit [15:27] grayess: why would anyone use java 1.31? [15:27] Av1: i find it faster and snappier then 32bit [15:27] atlef: please tell me what does this mean 32-Bit packages must be installed for 64-Bit Linux drivers to install or work. [15:27] DIFH-iceroot: there are some libraries that requires java1.3 [15:28] DIFH-iceroot: visibroker libraries... [15:28] Av1: as i said, i do not know [15:28] sorry [15:28] cuil: where did you download this? [15:28] grayess: and they can not use java 5 or java 6? [15:28] atlef: does it mean that i need to install both 32 bit and 63 bit package [15:28] Did Sun even release a linux version of Java 1.3? [15:28] *64 bit [15:28] Av1: some drivers or applications require 32-bit libraries to work [15:28] hoşçakalın / bye [15:28] grayess: then just download java 1.3.1 and make JAVA_HOME to your java 1.3.1 path [15:28] DIFH-iceroot: no i've already tried..and it said in the documentation.. [15:29] ushimitsudoki1: so should ioi install both 32bit and 64 bit package [15:29] Av1: prob not that does not make sense [15:29] Where can i find information on how to edit /usr/share/hotkey-setup/hp.hk so that it works for my laptop ? [15:29] DIFH-iceroot: i did.. but whenever i try to use it it gives me... Segmentation fault [15:29] Av1: maybe 32-bit libs are needed on the 64-bit system [15:29] ushimitsudoki1: please tell me what does this mean "32-Bit packages must be installed for 64-Bit Linux drivers to install or work. " [15:29] grayess: sorry then i dont know [15:29] Av1: where are you seeing this?

I can't find the webpage I found a couple of days ago.. but chech the BIOS for settings that sounds like "memory hole", "memory mapping" etc.. give those a try [15:35] err weird its logging on now [15:35] Av1: that being said, if you install the 32 bit libraries, you should be able to install the 32 bit package first [15:35] ushimitsudoki1: i have tried EnvyNg [15:35] seems to be loading [15:35] Av1: and then the 64-bit on top of that [15:35] let me shutdown and reboot again djhash === zero_ is now known as Zero___ [15:35] has anybody successfully installed java 1.3 on Ubuntu 8.04?? [15:35] Av1: which is what the page sounds like, even though i don't think that makes sense. however, i don't use ATI so I don't know for sure [15:35] ushimitsudoki1: thats means i should install 32 bit package 1st [15:35] Where can i find information on how to edit /usr/share/hotkey-setup/hp.hk so that it works for my laptop ? I crash programs on my laptop on command at the moment.. due to a bug in hotkey-setup [15:36] Av1: the core 32 bit libs are going to be in the ia32-livs package [15:36] hey, my flash drive wont mount in ubuntu, says it has a bad superblock, but in every other distro it mounts just fine, how do i get it working again?

[15:44] bobertdos, oh, god no, i just reinstalled ubuntu this morning and now it wont mount anymore [15:44] does anyone know how I can change the timeout on the DHCP listen request? Our DHCP server here at work is slow and ubuntu never gets an IP on boot.. I have to manually run "dhclient" every time I start up.. and I don't want to anymore! [15:45] cyberwolf_: language-support-sv [15:45] Hi. I see no messages between grub and the login screen on hardy. How can I get the splash screen or at least see the machine booting? [15:45] Denise: you probably just need a linux driver. if you can't find one, there's not much you can do. [15:45] hm [15:46] i get this : [15:46] Nest: /boot/grub/menu.lst edit that... [15:46] in man Sane it says hp4500 is supported [15:46] cyberwolf_ Actually, just search for Swedish, because there are a lot of packages for any given language. [15:46] but I have hp5500 [15:46] > 19.965127 EIP [] lmem_cashe_free+0x57/0xb0 SS:ESP 0068:f7c6b [15:46] 19.965127 kernel panic - not syncing : Fatal exception in interrupt [15:46] Parse error at " many with another program than sane? [15:46] ozzie212: that must be a new model. i found a post on how to use the cx7400 with ubuntu but nothing yet for cx7450. anyway read post # 8 here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=631781 [15:46] why is it doing this ? :? [15:46] maybe [15:47] T U [15:47] Denise: there is no other program than sane. You should be able to use a different model driver to make your scanner function. [15:47] its weird, cos when i log via recovery it works fine [15:47] mint2, you running linux mint? [15:47] djhash [15:47] Zero___: Well, i guess I'd first check to see that the drive is at least being recognized. Beyond that, I suppose I would try fstab, like Tamale has been saying. [15:47] Denise: the problem is not sane, the problem is not having a driver installed. [15:47] im running ubuntu, IdleOne [15:48] the new latest one [15:48] ok [15:48] I it installed properly and all [15:48] bobertdos: hm, no, the damn thing must have uninstalled it under the upgrade like many other important packets [15:48] grub loads up and when i press enter on the default i get that error [15:48] can someone help me change my DHCP timeout please? [15:48] Denise: unfortunately, i've only had limited success with scanners, so i don't have much more i can offer you. [15:48] mint2: are you using 32bit and do you have more than 4gigs of ram [15:48] k [15:48] ty [15:48] np [15:49] cyberwolf_: yep, I would guess so too [15:49] djhash what option in grub? I didn't change anything, it loads ubuntu fine except i dont see the splash logo or messages [15:49] djhash - 32 bit and 2 gb ram [15:49] Hi, I have a strange sound problem: When I mute de sound when I am using my headphones, the sound start playing on the speakers of the computer [15:50] can someone help me with this? [15:50] How do I find the package that owns a specific file? [15:50] cyberwolf_: That's the problem with direct upgrades, plus, it'd be a really good idea to just get a fresh Hardy disc and get yourself up to speed. [15:50] alexbobp: If you have the package installed, you can use dpkg -S /path/to/file [15:50] when i face that problem it hangs up. so i shutdown and restart and it logs in [15:50] bobertdos: i think debian is a joke comparing to gentoo or other real dists, but i have no other choice on this crappy computer [15:50] mint2: kernel panics are WAAY over my head.. but it could be hardware related.. [15:51] bobertdos: xubuntu is the only disc i can install [15:51] dapper [15:51] ok this time it says [15:51] Nest: does your screen go into standby mode after grub?! [15:51] timeout, status = 0 expect_event = 1 [15:51] re [15:51] Pici: worked. thanks. [15:52] acpi:ec:read timeout, command = 128 [15:52] and it hangs here [15:52] im not sure..its just black for a while until the login screen pops up [15:53] cyberwolf_: It sounds like you would benefit from something harder core like Arch, or something minimalistic like Damn Small Linux, Tiny Linux, or Puppy. (That should be discussed off-topic though). [15:53] Nest: usually the green power LED on the monitor changes to orange.. does it do that? [15:53] yes [15:53] mint2: do a memory test [15:54] ok djhash, what willthat do [15:54] mint2, test your memory? [15:54] mint2, you have any odd repos in there? [15:54] wait i think its because of the video card..i just switched and it was fine before [15:54] :X [15:54] Nest: the splash screen is using a resolution that the screen cannot handle [15:54] bobertdos: hehe, i guessi could but im not sure it runs on a ppc g3 with 233MHz [15:55] There's something strange with some of my Word documents. With some documents, the first 2 characters in the filename have been replaced with ~$, and with some documents I get a "ASCII Filter Options" dialog, asking me about all kinds of things, but whatever I seem to chose, the contents of the files are all the same 3 lines. [15:55] cyberwolf_: Maybe you could dig up an old version of Yellow Dog.......? [15:55] im testing my memory right now [15:55] doing the memtest [15:55] nadia: arent those MS word temporary files [15:56] mint2, this is linux mint 8.04? [15:56] then where are the real files? [15:56] no [15:56] its just the latest ubuntu, bazhang [15:56] bobertdos: maybe yes [15:56] mint2, how about a look at your sources.list [15:56] mint2, 8.10? [15:56] 8.06 i think. the one on ubuntus website [15:56] mint2, is it stable release or the dev release? [15:57] mint2: 8.04.1 [15:57] yep [15:57] 8.04 [15:57] mint2: can you show me "lsb_release -a" please to be sure [15:58] ikonia - i am not able to even log in [15:58] don't use Linux mint .. I tried it out and got a kernel panic when I tried to run google earth [15:58] maek: who said he was using mint ? [15:58] right now its doing a memorytest [15:58] thanks djhash, i think i edited the right part in grub [15:58] gonna reboot :) [15:58] am using ubuntu 8.04 [15:59] ikonia, no one said it [15:59] maek: so why are you saying "don't use mint" [15:59] ikonia, im talking to the channel .. duh [15:59] Just moved into college dorm and managed to connect to internet, but pidgin isn't connecting.

I'm using my AIM profile. [16:00] mint2: it doesn't [16:00] mint2: the generic livecd should be fine [16:00] ushimitsudoki1: how do i edit conf file [16:00] mint2: Like I said earlier, there is no laptop specific kernel for Ubuntu [16:00] since the amsn update there was any other updates ? [16:00] is there a way to see hardy heron updates history ? [16:01] lap_: your dpkg.log file should show what was applied and when [16:01] Anyone? [16:01] ikonia - im rebooting now ,exiting the memory test [16:01] yeah [16:01] atlef: how do i edit conf file [16:01] mint2, this is linux mint 8.04? .. I think its pretty clear cut ikonia ... [16:01] Av1: with a text editor. You may need root. .conf files should be text files [16:01] ok [16:01] Av1: use a ext editor [16:01] its a sony vaio laptop [16:01] this command wont work? [16:01] maek: no, bazhang was asking if it was mint, he said ubuntu [16:01] --encoding=ENCODING [16:01] Just moved into college dorm and managed to connect to internet, but pidgin isn't connecting. What do I do? [16:01] Av1: any text editor [16:01] sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [16:01] Av1: alt-f2 gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [16:02] !gksudo | Av1 [16:02] Av1: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [16:02] hal_v2: if you can connect to the internet, but your messager can't is most likley your router/gateway is blocking it [16:02] How do I fix it though? === Guest16263 is now known as gracey [16:02] maek: it's not a chat channel, and as no-one is asking about mint maek: no, bazhang was asking if it was mint [16:02] hal_v2: first thig is speak to the people who manager your router/gateway [16:02] Ugh.

[16:18] wathek___: whats the error [16:18] Av1: and you've rebooted [16:18] ikonia: no i have not [16:18] ikonia, gonna correct something [16:18] Av1: reboot [16:18] does the env command only apply for a terminal (shell) session? [16:18] ikonia: ok [16:18] RequinB41: env is the environment of that shell [16:19] ikonia, where can I find the logs ? === wathek___ is now known as wathek [16:19] wathek___: /var/log/messages [16:19] ikonia: so it won't be applied, say, after the completion of a shell script [16:19] ikonia, there's nothing there ! [16:19] Tamale: using dhcp3-server? [16:19] RequinB41: env just displays it [16:19] How do you undo the xrandr -x command? My screen has flipped and everything is reversed [16:19] bobertdos, yes [16:19] can anyone help ? [16:19] wathek: you have nothing in /var/log/messages ? [16:19] Does anyone know a good linux benchmark program? [16:19] ikonia, yes [16:19] bobertdos: Just ubuntu hardy [16:19] wathek: something is very wrong with your machine then [16:20] wathek: there should be at least logging for other things there [16:20] Anyone able to help with an Error 21 problem? Raid install === nostferka^ is now known as nostferka [16:20] cyban: can you please provide more info [16:20] Can't get my external monitor to work. It just turns black at the login screen. Any suggestions? [16:20] Tamale: Are you talking about the timeout of a DHCP server you've set up or of your own router? [16:20] just installed Ubuntu, latest version - install goes fine but on boot Grub loading - Error 21 [16:20] bobertdos: No, I'm talking about my dhcp client [16:21] cyban: what raid config did you use [16:21] 2nd time ive installed [16:21] bobertdos: it doesn't wait long enough for our server, so I never get an IP address when I boot up [16:21] cyban: or raid level [16:21] cyban: is it hardware raid, software raid, fakeraid ? [16:21] bobertdos: I have to manually run "dhclient eth0" everytime I start up [16:21] cyban: raid 0, 1,5 [16:21] Tamale: please show me "ls -la /var/log/messages" [16:22] good bye [16:22] let me check and make sure, think its 2 disk aray with duplicate data [16:22] cyban: what type of raid, hardware/software/fakeraid [16:22] !pastebin [16:22] 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) [16:22] joshua@tamalaptop:~$ ls -la /var/log/messages [16:22] -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 118682 2008-08-21 10:15 /var/log/messages [16:23] Tamale: there is loads in that log ile [16:23] Tamale: tail it, then stop and start dhcpd server [16:23] ikonia: I know what the problem is, I just need to know how to increase the time it waits to get an IP [16:23] dhclient waits long enough... whatever runs on boot up does not. [16:24] Tamale: dhclient is run at boot up [16:24] blah.. that doesn't make any sense then. [16:24] what's different [16:25] Tamale: hence why I'm telling you to look in that log file for a.) the startup of dhcp server to see if there is anything going on, then b.) see what the client requests are coming in [16:25] ikonia: can u help me on my vmware? [16:25] Tamale: For the sake of argument, what is the timeout value in dhclient.conf? [16:25] zairo: what about it ? [16:25] bobertdos: where is that conf? [16:26] i just install vmware on my laptop. the problem is i cannot ping from server to itself. i am using static ip. [16:26] zairo: have you setup a bridge interface ? [16:26] nm, found it.. 40 [16:26] zairo: you need to have a bridge between the real interfaces and the virtual [16:26] Tamale: /etc/dhcp3 [16:26] yep i am using bridge interface [16:26] zairo: is your vm on the same ip range as the server ? [16:27] bobertdos: almost the entire screipt is commented out [16:27] Tamale: it uses default where commented [16:27] Tamale: I know, but timeout shouldn't be. [16:27] hrm, raid config just says no logical drives 2 disks - just the simple embeded raid config [16:27] bobertdos: it's not, it's 40 [16:27] let me reset my ip. wait please [16:28] cyban: what type of raid is it [16:28] cyban: is it software/hardware/fakeraid [16:28] anyone know a good benchmarking software to run on ubuntu? [16:28] tsunami: what sort of benchmark [16:28] hardware [16:28] cyban: what controller ? [16:28] and the aray type isnt configured [16:28] !mysql [16:28] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [16:28] cyban: what is the raid controller [16:28] general system, i'm making it a front end so to test if video playback will be a problem [16:28] bazhang: What is this button represent ? [16:29] Tamale: I'd first try increasing that value then. Your server must be pretty slow. Mine is set to 30 :p [16:29] dashnu: the windows key [16:29] bazhang: *what does i should say [16:29] ah [16:29] rgr [16:29] dashnu, the windows key [16:29] bobertdos: it's just weird.. it works pretty fast after I'm all booted up and logged in [16:29] i have been of the linux desktop for 2 years now [16:29] they have come a long ways [16:30] bobertdos: I just wish it had an IP already when I was logged in like it did in Gutsy [16:30] this compiz shit is rad [16:30] bobertdos: what changed in networking with the change to hardy? [16:30] dashnu: please moderate your language [16:30] pci 0/1f Intel R [16:30] ikonia: opps [16:30] cyban: is the raid built onto the motherboard [16:31] Tamale: I don't know. If you've still got a Gutsy CD around, I suppose you could always compare and contrast the dhclient.conf files. [16:31] the controller, hard to tell without pullin it apart - 2u rack mount server so kinda doubtfull [16:31] ikonia: general system, I am building a front end and will be using it for video playback [16:31] cyban: it sounds like a fakeraid card [16:31] bazhang: last one :D [16:31] tsunami: errr ???? ok [16:31] fakeraid have bios raid configurations? [16:31] bazhang: what does button # represent [16:31] ikonia: i was looking for the benchmarking system [16:31] cyban: it can do [16:32] tsunami: ahh [16:32] Is there a fix for the invisible windows shares in the Ubuntu network browser? [16:32] hrm says embeded raid controller is all [16:32] cyban: sounds like fakeraid [16:32] tsunami: you may want to look at "stress linux" [16:32] Define "invisible" nadia. [16:32] tsunami: that has tools built in, that you maybe able to find for ubuntu [16:33] hi [16:33] dashnu, under general? [16:33] !hi > master_: [16:33] under objects for the raid config has adapter, rbldrate info etc but no logical or physical drives [16:33] !hi | master_ [16:33] master_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

[16:34] atlef [16:34] bobertdos: All windows shares don't show up, but they really are there, I can connect to them though "Connect to server" with Service type set to "Windows Share", but I browse a lot of windows shares that come and go, so it would save a hell lot of work if I could just browse them [16:34] cyban: there is, but it's very flakey [16:34] kino [16:34] seems like ubuntu finds the drives fine, can write to them etc since it goes through the whole install [16:34] http://www.kinodv.org/ [16:34] ikonia: yep. i also a beginner on ip setting [16:34] cyban: fakeraid is a really bad technology, you may want to look at software raid [16:34] master_: http://www.kinodv.org/ [16:34] ikonia: http://hashbin.com/euA [16:35] zairo: what are the ip's for the client/server [16:35] ikonia: please look at the hashbin that i've posted [16:35] zairo: what is the gateway device ?

[16:36] ı input command lspci [16:36] i am using my n70 mobile phone as modem [16:36] zairo: is that the gateway (.1) [16:36] have my dvr card but unknow [16:36] ikonia: so here's something weird.. according to /var/log/messages dhclient worked successfully on boot up [16:36] zairo, does it work well? [16:36] but I didn't have any ability to 'use' the connection [16:36] ikonia - thanks, ya not sure if its worth the trouble [16:37] ikonia: yep quite good. still can go to chatroom [16:37] cyban: fakeraid is %101 not worth the trouble in my view, software raid, very yes [16:37] zairo: ?? [16:37] i got a compiz problem. i have a dell xps m1330 with nvidia. the graphics are great, and there are no broken compiz effects. the problem is that when i don't use effects for a while, something happens that makes all effects lag for a second or two. then, they return to their smooth state. is the gfx card shutting down briefly or something? can i make it stay on always? [16:37] nextplace: hello [16:37] shiman: hiho+ [16:37] guess the only way to tell is to pull it apart [16:38] *tr3 [16:38] nadia: Well assuming your workgroup in Samba matches the Windows one, maybe it would help to run the Network Setup Wizard on Windows...?

[16:39] when i try to ping server for 192.168.1.2 i got 'network not reacheable'. what's wrong?

[16:40] zairo: does your network interface have an IP of the same network? [16:41] bobertdos: No, shall I install it now? [16:41] fsufitch: its possible that ubuntu swaps out the data that compiz fusion needs for effects... it needs to reaquire those info.. either from main hdd or swap.. hence the slow down.. [16:41] nadia: Please do [16:41] Absorto: yep 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.50 [16:41] djhash: i see. lemme check out the swap usage [16:41] and read the following stuff from the bot [16:42] !samba | nadia [16:42] nadia: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[17:29] karl, this is hardy 8.04.1? [17:29] Habernet: THAT, I'm not sure about. I don't know how to specifically make file type associations if there's no GUI menu to do it. [17:29] Habernet: you can rightclick on a file and select properties. Then at open with you should be able to select utorrent. [17:29] would anyone know where I could edit ubiquity to change the exec of the dialog that asks you to either restart your computer or continue using the livecd?

[17:30] hc k ill try that [17:30] 1G, 1G swap [17:30] bazhang, 1G, 1G swap [17:30] Habernet: I think right-clicking and setting the file properties usually gives you the option.

I want to use a separated, dual monitor in ubuntu 8.04. when starting the screen resolution menu, ubuntu shows two screens which can be moved around each other. When putting one to the right so that the screens do not overlap and applying the changes, the screens are automatically taken back to their old position and nothing changes - what can I do? [17:31] bazhang, no shit, it's taking up more than KDE in my other partition... [17:31] karl, if yesterday then yes it is [17:31] how do i find my exact version? [17:31] It did 107 updates though [17:31] vdsy, no cursing please [17:31] lol [17:31] karl, version of what? [17:32] why do I have such a hard time connecting to this room?

[17:53] PauloVJ, do that in server window not here [17:53] sorry, my bad [17:54] PauloVJ: don't you hate that? one space and everyone sees your info lol [17:54] PauloVJ: you can do that in the channel window just make sure not to put a space in there ;) [17:54] Howdy, all [17:54] I have a bit of a problem connecting to the internet [17:54] hello [17:54] PauloVJ, so change your password too [17:54] ouch... no utility i could get like the one from analog devices for windows? its just a drop down menu to change the port assignment [17:54] And I'm probably about the seventieth person to say that in the past five minutes [17:54] is there a way to show what version im about to apt-get ? [17:54] But regardless, help would be appreciated [17:54] Megaxel: do you have DHCP on the router [17:55] I'm actually not on a router [17:55] kaffien: apt-cache policy packagename [17:55] I'm plugging an ethernet cable directly into the wall [17:55] Megaxel: are you wireless? [17:55] Nope [17:55] arg, error 2? [17:55] So I can't see the router [17:55] it's just a wall plug [17:55] where do i find this package XFree86-Mesa-libGL [17:55] Megaxel: are you at a dorm or something like that? do you know your gateway, dns, and such?

[17:56] and when I use the browser, I don't get redirected to the ptd login page [17:56] Megaxel: how are you talking to use right now? [17:56] any way to do that with apt-get or a way to make it display the version number when it asks Y/n? [17:56] on a windows partition [17:56] Megaxel, just sudo dhclient eth0 [17:56] Whats "Grub Error 2"? [17:56] Megaxel: ok that sounds like your ISP is refusing the connection because you aren't auth'd by them [17:56] Windows had a problem, which I assume is the same problem Ubuntu was having [17:56] Which is that the local area connection wasn't enabled [17:56] so [17:57] I *think* I need to enable the ethernet port in ubuntu [17:57] Megaxel: do ipconfig and get the default gateway and dns info [17:57] after which point i'll get an IP address [17:57] Snares, ifconfig for ubuntu [17:57] and will be able to redirect to ptd's site [17:57] bazhang: he isn't on ubuntu atm [17:58] snares: here's the catch, even though i get that information in windows, it doesn't show up in ifconfig [17:58] Megaxel, sudo dhclient eth0 in ubuntu [17:58] Megaxel: administration -> network, enable the ethernet [17:58] Snares: would u know how to do it? redo the drivers? would u have the time and patience to walk me through it?

[19:37] ra21vi: static is still linked against specific livraries [19:37] what is super user [19:38] Avi_IRC: root [19:38] nikhil: an ubuntu CD is an "official one" [19:38] Avi_IRC: Super user is root, and he is all-powerful [19:38] ikonia: but the same error message comes out when we do ./someprog and that is not executable [19:38] nikhil: you said you'd got a "remix" one [19:38] ra21vi: so ?

[19:38] dingoyoko: if you format your Samba share as NTFS, you'll have trouble with NTFS ACLs users set on their machines. Though you can use POSIX ACL-capable FS and bridge NT ACLs to them. Samba has no native treatment of NTFS. [19:38] ra21vi: I think it's nothing to do with bash [19:39] ra21vi: shells don't matter to an executable [19:39] so If I just back up my home folder, wll I lose a lot of my programs, and program settings? [19:39] !ntfs [19:39] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [19:39] ikonia: then I think i am in great trouble [19:39] tuxsudo: yes [19:39] ra21vi: So you're saying that resizing it with GParted is impossible to do, or do safely? [19:39] ra21vi: no, I think your just linked against libraries that are wrong or not on your system, nothing more [19:39] I wish there was a way around that [19:40] tuxsudo: not all settings, but systemwide ones. GConf and such will remain. [19:40] i am trying to install ati driver and it tells me i need to be a super user to install it [19:40] tuxsudo: simply because they're stored in your home folder. [19:40] took me for ever to set up kismet.conf [19:40] Avi_IRC: use sudo [19:40] ikonia: ok, i will check it tomorrow, since the system is in my office. [19:40] !sudo > Avi_IRC [19:40] Avi_IRC: why not use the driver in ubuntus restricted driver manager [19:40] Avi_IRC, please see my private message [19:40] Avi: Run the program as gksudo if graphical, or sudo if text-based [19:40] tuxsudo: there are many ways to backup things, see http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-get-list-installed-software-reinstallation-restore.html for progrem reinstallation [19:40] however, i have downloaded files for installing KDE 4.1, but many KDE applications crash. Some error relating to KDE file manager and Plasma [19:41] hey guys, if i've removed one of my gnome panels to theme my system, how do i get it back. do i just have to create a totally new one? :\ [19:41] nikhil: why download them [19:41] Anybody here use a ghost-like app they would recommend? [19:41] nikhil: just download from the repo's using the package manager [19:41] j800r: I think you'll have to manually re-create it [19:41] I have seahorse problem, I have a gvfs ftp connection taht does not appear in seahorse. Any clue? [19:41] lazyPower: how do i execute this file "ati-driver-installer-8-8-x86.x86_64.run" [19:41] it's not hard, though [19:41] ya, i know [19:41] Avi_IRC: sudo sh ati-driver-installer-fooblef.run [19:41] but if I back up /etc im screwed too [19:41] nikhil: nikhil sudo apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop [19:41] hi, i tried installing java using sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre but when i tried to verify them on the java site, it says it wasn't installed [19:41] i themed my system to look like vista aero for a laugh. fed up with it now though lol [19:42] Avi_IRC: use the drivers in ubuntus restricted driver manager [19:42] j800r: I think everyone's done that at least once :P [19:42] Avi_IRC: you are asking for help with an unsupported driver though. Ikonia has the right idea using the restricted driver manager. [19:42] Surlent, easier to compare that way ;) [19:42] ikonia, i used this command as per some post in ubuntu forum [19:42] Surlent: resize by Gparted is possible for NTFS partition, but I would say that you go the safe way. Or maybe you can do it and let us know if something bad happens, that way other knows how to do it [19:42] nikhil: use the command I just gave you [19:43] is kiba-dock not in ubuntu repositories? [19:43] habernet, have you tried avant window manager? [19:43] habernet: Avant Window Navigator performs well... [19:44] yep, i will see this works? Thnx Ikonia, people like you encourage people like me to go for the kill [19:44] avant is fantastic, and you can install it through add/remove programs [19:44] thanks gusy [19:44] nikhil: your welcome [19:44] ra21vi: All I know is that I used GParted to create the partition in the first place, and it didn't bother Linux at all, and Windows runs fine save for the fact that my hard drive is labeled F: instead of C:. I can't think of any reason anything would mess up, but I figured I'd ask anyway. [19:45] only thing i truely hate about ubuntu is that mic support is awful, and it's very hard to get skype to work :| [19:45] j800r: worked great for me in hardy righto ut of the box [19:45] hi - I am using a 7" screen on an eeepc and somhow the menu bar has moved from top to side of the screen and is so squeezed together that it is hardly useable - the middle key produces a hand cursor but this does not let me pull the menu bar back to the top.. is there a way on the konsole to restore the default setting or similar..? [19:45] j800r: are using alsa? [19:45] brb lets see if awn will work on startup now tha i added to sesions [19:45] lazyPower, ya, i think so [19:46] j800r: :| Thats sucky man [19:46] frybye: you have to drag it with a left click [19:46] frybye: but you have to do it on an "empty" spot [19:46] i tried a fix on the forums, pulseaudio like, but it didn't help [19:46] frybye: it can take a while if your menu is full [19:46] j800r: afk for a few man, phone. [19:46] nw bro [19:46] Anyone know how / what causes Hotmail to tell me to update when using FF3? [19:47] j800r: The only thing I hate about Linux is the lack of game support. Wine can only go so far, and seems to purposely decrease compatability with GZDoom with every release =( (Hence my dual-booting) [19:47] robelliott2125: hostmail tells you to update what ? [19:47] ikonia - there is no unused space on the squeezed togeter menu to grab hold of it..? [19:47] frybye: there is, you've just got to mess around with it [19:47] frybye: there is "always" a spot on it, just hard to find if your menu is full [19:47] Sorry ikonia, Hotmail tells me to update my browser when logging in, but i'm using FF3. [19:47] robelliott2125: hot mail has no interest in your browser [19:48] robelliott2125: it wants IE7 :) [19:48] of course, it's Microsoft's own crap, isn't it? [19:48] Surlent, ya, that's a problem with me too. i used to play ragnarok a lot on a private server but i can't now. wine is ok, but i find it to make ubuntu sluggish [19:48] Yeah, I know its MS Crap, but its MS Crap which I used before switching to Linux [19:48] robelliott2125: switch to gmail [19:48] ikonia: bare in mind that the side edge of this screen is only about 4+" long.. the menu is v e r y squeezed together... [19:48] Surlent, j800r Eh, I can run TF2, HL2, and other Steam games on Wine, I'd say that's pretty impressive. [19:48] Get Gmail :P [19:48] /part #ubtunu [19:48] me 800*600 screenres, squeezed on side [19:48] ack [19:48] Gillpy: thats not an answer [19:48] Gillpy, not a productive answer [19:48] ASULutzy, ahh, but i'm an rpg fan [19:49] robelliott2125: have you tryed with geko? [19:49] j800r, It runs WoW too ;) [19:49] ASULutzy: I can almost make Supreme Commander work, it just lags on the graphics pretty bad for some reason, and I get no sound [19:49] i have a laptop with windows xp. i want to install ubuntu. with 8.04 you can 'install inside windows' whats the best option: install inside windows, or partition my hard drive and make it its own partition [19:49] but you need more powerful hardware than with windows [19:49] robelliott2125: there is nothing wrong with hotmail - and hotmail doesn't care about what browser your using, I suspect it's a plugin your using thats incompatible with hotmail [19:49] Hey guys, I've got a problem with firefox [19:49] robelliott2125: like, try launching wine with the adress (hotmail.com) [19:49] robelliott2125: in that window you can choose to open it anyway if your "old" browser that it will work just fine [19:49] robelliot2125: I don't know that about FF3, but opera can mask itself as IE [19:49] robelliott2125, get an firefox extension that changes your user agent and hotmail will think you have whatever you want! [19:49] Could anyone help me getting flash player 6 installed? [19:49] robelliott2125: I am using hotmail %100 fine with firefox 3 on hardy [19:49] porkchop: I personally have had nothing but trouble with the WUBI install inside windows bit [19:49] it tries to save .php files instead of rendering them [19:49] porkchop, I don't think anyone here will suggest you use Wubi. I would absolutely suggest setting up a proper dual-boot [19:49] jmichelsen, what is the best way to make a small seperate partion with parted? [19:49] ikonia: good - i managed it .. bit of a mess now but will manage.. thanks.. [19:49] monster: install the php5 package on your webserver [19:49] ok, sounds good [19:49] Joker_-_: robelliot2125: It'll still use Gecko [19:49] frybye: well done [19:50] ikonia, i've got the same addon's which I used when using Gutsy, which is Noscript and Adblock Plus, Noscript is allowing Hotmail and the rest of its crap, but still having the same prob [19:50] ikonia: it's not MY server that's fucking up :/ [19:50] ill use gparted to partition my hard drive. any suggestions before i do that? [19:50] nothing is working, just errors [19:50] !language | monster [19:50] monster: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [19:50] so it's not a bug in ff?

[19:50] monster: no - it will be their server [19:50] mh [19:50] that's odd [19:50] porkchop: And don't chicken out at the end. I did that, and it screwed up everything =( [19:50] is it a mime-thing? [19:50] ikonia: too soon - it is the bottom task bar that is up there now .. oh jeez - one thing after the other.. my neighbour is perhaps right - the eeepc just is toooo small... [19:50] robelliott2125: user agent switcher ? [19:50] porkchop, Suggestions? Make sure you do it right, don't explode your already existing partitions if there is important data there [19:50] monster: normally an extenions issue on the websesrver [19:51] robelliott2125: is the problem you have with firefox inhotmails says saying "If you don’t want to upgrade right now you can still continue to Windows Live Hotmail, but some parts of it may not work and it may not be displayed properly." ? [19:51] ive heard to defrag windows first, is that a good idea? [19:51] tuxsudo: http://www.howtoforge.com/partitioning_with_gparted [19:51] hm. i see. thanks so far ikonia [19:51] Joker_-_: AFAIK Wine uses Gecko for MSHTML OLE elements [19:51] porkchop: It couldn't hurt [19:51] monster: you should email them and let them know [19:51] oop [19:51] I cant download gparted :P [19:51] heh [19:51] tuxsudo: sudo apt-get install gparted [19:51] tuxsudo, it's on the ubuntu live cd [19:51] j800r: Ive run into more issues with pulse audio man. I'm all about alsa [19:51] I have [19:51] j800r: it's not [19:51] tuxsudo: and what does it say [19:51] aldroid: I know, thats what I told him to do :P [19:51] robelliott2125: the firefox plugin* it works fine when you select IE7 on vista [19:52] Gillpy, I shouldn't need to use a UA Switcher. I'm a proud FF user, and shouldn't have to "cloak" as an IE or other browser. It worked fine in FF2 on Gutsy [19:52] ikonia, er, yes it is, i've used it [19:52] j800r: you normally have to install it [19:52] dpkg: failed to open package info file `/var/lib/dpkg/available' for reading: No such file or directory [19:52] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) [19:52] robelliott2125: you don't - it will be a plugin [19:52] not if you boot the live cd [19:52] Yes carandraug. [19:52] robelliot2125: looks like they've changed Hotmail [19:52] tuxsudo: sudo apt-get update first [19:52] ikonia: now.. I have it .. right on the extreem end of the thing was a spot to grab it.. [19:52] aldroid: I'm using it with FF3 - no problem [19:52] it has it on there already cause it uses it for installing ubuntu [19:53] same error [19:53] tuxsudo: ls -la /var/lig/dpkg [19:53] robelliott2125: in that text, just press "continue to Windows Live Hotmail,". It works just fine [19:53] tuxsudo: (put the output in a pastebin) [19:53] Ok, lets change this then... FF3 on Winblows works fine, as I've just asked my partner to try. [19:53] Yes i know carandraug, but i want to use the Full Version [19:53] I'm trying to share a music directory via mt-daapd: Itunes can connect to the share, but mt-daapd is not serving any music. I tried doing several full scans and checking mt-daapd. I don't know where to go from here, any suggestions? [19:53] robelliott2125: I suspect its a plugin issue [19:53] ls: cannot access /var/lig/dpkg: No such file or directory [19:53] tuxsudo: your install is dead [19:54] Again ikonia, Noscript and Adblock Plus, both used on FF2, and no problem. [19:54] tuxsudo: re-install [19:54] tuxsudo: sudo apt-get -f install [19:54] tuxsudo: /var/lib, not /var/lig [19:54] tuxsudo: I've said this about 4 times [19:54] robelliott2125, get gmail or use a pop account [19:54] robelliott2125: Hotmail works just fine on a stock FF3 buddy. I just logged in [19:54] robelliott2125: I didn't knew there was a "full" version. What's the difference by the way? [19:54] Gnea: ahhhh good spot [19:54] Very productive answer j800r. [19:54] ikonia: his first question was about backing up data, can't reintstall without backuing up [19:54] thanks Gnea [19:54] carandraug, the full allows you to drag and drop emails, view emails easily etc. [19:54] robelliott2125, your not gonna get the full version of hotmail on any linux browser [19:54] jmichelsen: he didn't backup before he updated ? [19:55] ikonia: nope ;) [19:55] You can and I have j800r. [19:55] yep just installed KDE4 using apt-get code, Better than last time i installed KDE4. Now on login, "Plasma Workspace error" is displayed. What does this mean? [19:55] hmmm [19:55] ikonia: and he has no external media, he's trying to gpart his hdd to make backup location [19:55] lazyPower, thanks bud, i'll check my end again [19:55] nikhil: Please ask in #kubuntu-kde4 [19:55] well hotmail is from the enemy..i'd sooner not waste my breath on it [19:55] microsoft suck [19:55] http://pastebin.com/d76561000 [19:56] You have done though j800r. [19:56] robelliott2125, no, i suggested alternatives :P [19:56] Hey, can someone help me? My videos play very slow. [19:56] robelliott2125: best place ot ask is #firefo [19:56] !ask | FSX [19:56] *x [19:56] FSX: 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. :-) [19:56] Thanks Gillpy [19:57] yo, this ain't a support question, jus want an opinion. has anyone tried cent os before? [19:57] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [19:57] how to do?? [19:58] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [19:58] I have a laptop with an ATI card and my videos play very slow. I have installed the restricted driver. [19:58] ikonia, did you see my paste bin [19:58] I'm running fluxbox as wm and it's great, except one thing :/ My iPod won't load in rhythmbox. When I switch to my gnome-session it works fine but not using fluxbox (it connects without problem, but not listed in rhythmbox). How do I solve this? Or is there another good music manager that I can use with iPod support (playing from the iPod) and last.fm scrobble? [19:58] cuil, how to report it? i think there's a bug report link on the ubuntu sight :\ [19:58] xintron: im using Exale media player, and i beleive it has support for what your wanting. [19:58] my adobe flash player 9 streams video very poorly? is this a normal case with a 8400m gs nvidia card? [19:59] i can ensure it is not internet speed [19:59] lazyPower: is it lightweight? I used moc and it works, but after playing a few songs moc hangs and looses contact with the iPod and I have to kill moc (works when playing files on the computer) [19:59] hello trying to make a launcher for rdesktop but when i put rdesktop ipaddy nothing happens when i try it in the terminal it works. [19:59] does anyone else experience browser crashes on ff when playing a video (normally flash) [20:00] xintron: i dont have an ipod to test for you :| Best i can say is apt-get it and try it. I've been using it for about a week now with no real issues. [20:00] tuxsudo: try sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/available-old /var/lib/dpkg/available [20:01] tuxsudo: really something has screwed up your system... [20:01] how do I automount a CD/DVD on boot? [20:01] worked [20:01] tuxsudo: then sudo apt-get update [20:01] well it is reading database....... [20:02] working very slowly....after I make a partiton I am gonna back up and fresh install fo sure [20:02] hi! everybody [20:02] tuxsudo: can it install something? [20:02] yes === Tizz__ is now known as Tizz [20:04] wonder why I had to rename the dpkg folder? Is it in the correct one now? or is it just a workaround for now? [20:04] sebrock_: try adding to /etc/fstab : [20:04] /dev/path/to/drive /path/to/mount/point udf,iso9660 user,auto 0 0 [20:04] anybody know why mt-daapd isn't serving files even after doing multiple scans of the music directory? [20:05] I can provide mt-daapd.conf if needed [20:05] hi [20:05] Well my problem is now solved properly. about:config - then the string general.useragent.vendor needs to be set to blank, and it works in full mode. [20:05] brb restart [20:05] Gillpy I have that line except "noauto" so thats the clue I guess... [20:05] tuxsudo: I don't know how apt-get works, but I have /var/lib/dpkg/available and you have /var/lib/dpkg/available-old, looks it's some sort of database for dpkg... [20:07] !hi | nikhil [20:07] nikhil: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [20:08] does anyone know which type intel atom processors are part of please? I mean is it included to the x86, Pentium etc. models or is it "Intel computers" ? [20:09] I don't think you can go wrong with x86 [20:09] tzd: x86 will work fine [20:09] I have a server which people connect through via telnet. I am looking for a way to kick everyone off at night so a backup job can run. I think this can probably be done through cron. Anyone? [20:10] jmichelsen: ah you again... i should have you on speed dial ;P Thanks once again mate! :) [20:10] robelliott2125: so, hotmail defines whether it works in full version according to the OS and not the browser? [20:10] does anyone know how to get a ZC0301P-based webcam to work? [20:10] tzd: lol [20:10] Why is it I can't find nm-applet under the list of applets to add to a panel? [20:10] YES !

[20:11] dpick: try shell scripts [20:11] That's terrible [20:11] aldroid: no luck === w00kie is now known as tuxsudo [20:11] carandraug, the "general.useragent.vendor" string value was Firefox. Remove it, and it works. - In Gutsy FF2 you had to change that value from Ubuntu to Firefox for the Full Hotmail to work, now its to be blank. [20:11] jmichelsen: about to download it for a usb bootable drive... well actually i'm creating the bootable usb drive now [20:11] dpick - a shell script should work... [20:11] tzd: gotcha [20:11] dpick: you should put the script in your $HOME/bin or specify full pathname [20:12] dpick -- just chmod +x it and put it in your path, then run it as a command [20:12] wow, after that dpkg fix, everything seems righ including xserver! Hooray [20:12] $PATH [20:12] !yay | tuxsudo [20:12] tuxsudo: Glad you made it! :-) [20:12] tzd: I prefer the cd method, usually just works but gl [20:12] robelliott2125: in mine it says Ubuntu.

[20:35] unop, it says that my user is already a member of "mythtv" [20:35] scunizi I've just found a version in audacity sourceforge Stable 1.2 for all users with options for Linux/Unix but I'm doubtful if this is the right one? Any ideas [20:35] How do I use CVS respositories with CVS? After logging in to the sourceforge CVS I do not know what to do. [20:35] unop: nope, flash works though [20:36] aldroid: thanks [20:36] hotkey: what software are you trying to use as far as viewing though? [20:36] balz, what does groups return? [20:36] Bond877: try the alternative install disk I allways have better luck with it [20:36] DavidCanarias: can you give me a link? [20:36] unop: i may need to make a symlink, but cannot remember which one to link from or to [20:36] Anyone or do I have to re-burn the iso again that's what I have [20:36] I have the alternative [20:36] kale, are you sure you installed sun-java6-jre ? [20:36] aldroid: is there a way to lock a machine without using the screensaver, like in windows? [20:36] balz read about tvtime on a few forums, installed thru synaptic but it wont run [20:36] Hi, I'm installing ubuntu to dual-boot with vista on a laptop, and I'm using the guided resize option for the installer. It's been on 0% for the resizing partition thing for a long time [20:36] scunizi the link is http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/ [20:36] how can i see if my 5.1 soun is working ? i'm using oss now [20:36] the regular Xubuntu was a little to resource demanding to intall [20:36] unop: yes [20:37] Hotkey: you can use mplayer to view a tvcard [20:37] dpick i dunno [20:37] kale, and the firefox you have installed now was taken from the repos? [20:37] unop: yes [20:37] Bond877: do you have a different cd burner you can use [20:37] Please I have burned the to disk 6 time non working with because some iso was corrupt or burning or wrong burning ,ethoud [20:37] Hotkey: its kinda of difficult because you have to give it a channel file [20:37] unop: only repo added is multiverse [20:38] dpick i have mplayer but no idea how to have it access tv card [20:38] dmesg says that "program parted_devices is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, pleaase convert it to SG_IO [20:38] Hotkey: why don't you just use the mythfrontend? [20:38] unop: groups returns: louis adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev fuse mythtv admin lpadmin [20:38] will the vista partition be damaged? [20:38] scunizi - this link will take you thru to debian and then all the architecture business I mentionned earlier!!!! [20:38] dpick ok - whats involved? [20:38] kale, what does this return? dpkg -l | grep -i sun-java6-jre [20:38] Yes but I have tried with that I ty again because the time I used that burner it was a bad iso [20:38] is anyone here running netbook remix? [20:38] DavidCanarias: looking now [20:38] Hotkey: I've never heard of tvtime, but I can attest to mythtv's awesomeness [20:38] might be overkill for what you're trying to do but it does work [20:38] balz, what exactly happens when you try and write to the directory then? [20:38] hey Pici little information here so far will provide the rest in a moment once I get this thing hooked up to the net. Anyway got a mates E-Machines 4115c with ubuntu installed on it.. all working from day 1 till yesterday his wireless will not connect to anything.. [20:38] unop: ii sun-java6-jre 6-06-0ubuntu1 [20:38] scunizi :) thanks a lot! [20:38] Hotkey: i'm guessing it's rpobably a driver issue, but i dont' know [20:39] Is there anyway to put backup files on the cd so if the onw in the iso fails it will try the backup of that file? [20:39] Bond877: did you run a memory test? [20:39] balz that could be [20:39] im trying to open a port on my router so i can use azureus, in my router it asks for an application name and give things like pop3, http, etc. what should i choose? [20:39] unop: well i'm trying to get mt-daapd to scan the directory recursively and it keeps failing so i ran mt-daapd -f and it gave me opendir: Permission denied for each subdirectory [20:39] Not yet though I thought it was fine because the Live CD ran (IT was SLOW though and also froze) [20:39] habernet you'll probably need to create a new service [20:40] Pici: likely causes.. an update possibly.. or perhaps just the wrong driver.. I noticed the internal wifi registers as a usb device.. odd [20:40] hotkey: http://www.anandtech.com/guides/viewfaq.aspx?i=154 [20:40] or not [20:40] Bond877: I had similar problem and it ended up being the ram [20:40] Can someone help me please? [20:40] balz: where did you download it from? [20:40] OK I'll run a mem test [20:40] dpick ok thanks i'll take a peek [20:40] balz, does the group mythtv have read/write permissions on each of the subdirs? [20:40] tyrant27: download what? [20:40] torrent and md5sum passed [20:40] !ask | Daenyth|Work [20:40] Daenyth|Work: 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. :-) [20:40] How can I set iptables to forward Vpn connections from ppp0 to the internet on eth0? [20:40] Bond877: is there more then on stick of ram in the machine? [20:40] unop: how do i check? forgive my n00bness [20:40] balz: sry... [20:40] Paddy_EIRE: I did ask, lemme repaste it [20:41] Bond: where did you download it from [20:41] One sec Thanks for the help [20:41] kaiforc, i just installed azureus and it says that my port is probably closed (20678) i've never had this problem before with torrent apps, how do i fix it? [20:41] kaiforce [20:41] DavidCanarias: looks like you're stuck with the source packages no matter what you do. I did find a .deb of version 1.3.x.x at http://www.getdeb.net/search.php?keywords=audacity [20:41] I'm using the guided ntfs resize option on the 8.04 installer; it's stuck at 0% for quite some time. dmesg says that "program parted_devices is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, pleaase convert it to SG_IO. Will the ntfs partition be damaged if I abort it now? [20:41] 0% for "resizing partition" [20:41] kale, not sure .. you might want to create a link to the libjavaplugin.so file in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [20:42] daentyth vista with other os dont [20:42] balz, ls -ld ,... [20:42] Daenyth|Work: then you'll just need a little patience till someone frees up thats all.. perhaps If I get these comps finished in the next hour or so I will try my best to help you if that would be alright [20:42] unop: sun-java6-Ãplugin probably ... [20:42] habernet: create a new service on your router called torrent or whatever, assign the right port, and create a port forward that uses that service and points to your azureus machine. [20:42] DavidCanarias: unfortuantly I've never found the solution to Audacity in Hardy with pulseaudio. I've had to load audacity on my windows partition just to get things done. [20:42] hello [20:42] Paddy_EIRE: I just want to know if it will be damaged if I abort right now [20:42] somebody can help me with the mplayer? [20:42] Paddy_EIRE: the student is leaving the country tomorrow, and I'm leaving here in 45 minutes [20:42] oh 1 sec let me read that again Daenyth|Work [20:42] so [20:42] DocMabuse: maybe what did you need help with? [20:42] kale: have you tried alternative configurator [20:43] I know this may sound like a dumb question, but how do I add an executable to my path in ubuntu? [20:43] DocMabuse: what's wrong with it? [20:43] unop: yep, that was it, thank for the insights, im using gentoo myself, but this is for a newbee [20:43] My Films have extrem bliue color [20:43] HURR DURR LOL PENGUINS [20:43] Daenyth|Work: no it wont [20:43] blue [20:43] unop: i tried on one of the subdirectories and got this: drwxrws--- 8 mythtv mythtv 48 2008-08-20 20:28 /var/lib/mythtv/music/Zebrahead [20:43] HURR DURR LOL PENGUINS [20:43] HURR DURR LOL PENGUINS [20:43] Paddy_EIRE: ah thanks [20:43] HURR DURR LOL PENGUINS [20:43] OMFGrhombus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

I just wanted to edit some music files and someone suggested audacity. Is there another one I can use to do the job? [20:44] DocMabuse: which codec?

[20:44] Simple question, how do I add an executable to my PATH in Ubuntu? [20:45] Daenyth|Work: you may need to just plain kill ubuntu (cold boot) in order for it to perhaps kill that faulty process [20:45] Theaxiom: sudo cp executable /usr/bin [20:45] Paddy_EIRE: yeah, I'll play around [20:45] Theaxiom: do you want to move a executable there?

[20:45] Daenyth|Work: and always keep backups :) [20:45] Daenyth|Work: yes [20:45] Theaxiom: or just move it to /opt and run it from there, that's what i always do [20:45] unop: ok logged back in [20:46] lufis: I can't move it [20:46] Paddy_EIRE: yeah, I backed up the student's data before, but I dislike giving people their stuff back in worse shape than they gave it to me [20:46] Mem test is running [20:46] scunizi - thanks a lot for your help [20:46] Osse, if [[ $(awk '{print $1}' < <(xrandr | grep '*')) == '1280x768' ]]; then xrandr -s 1280x1280; fi [20:46] Paddy_EIRE: luckily he has the vista disks at home so it shouldn't be a problem [20:46] unop: i'm sshed in, so i just need to close that session and start a new one, right? that counts as log out/in?

[20:52] and some more apparently virtual package that i'm pretty sure aren't virtual [20:52] balz, hmm, very strange. did you recently add this user to the mythtv group .. or was it setup that way? [20:53] Paddy_EIRE: thanks for the help [20:53] it was set up that way [20:53] DavidCanarias: no problem.. sorry for the late reply.. working.. interruptions and everything :) [20:53] balz, actually .. what is this command, and how are you invoking it? [20:53] I am having trouble with proftpd can anyone help me , It doesnt let me create folders or anything [20:53] What else could cause a problem [20:53] hey guys. i'm having problems with my wifi. i used ndiswrapper before (in gutsy) with these same drivers and it worked. now in hardy they don't seem to be working. it says it's installed ok and the hardware is present, but it wont find any networks. [20:53] con some one help me please [20:53] for installation this iso is corrupt yet the iso passed the md5sum [20:54] unop: the mt-daapd -f command? I got it from a forum because i was having problems with getting a music share up. it seems as though ti gives real time output and error messages [20:55] help please? [20:55] What is your problem [20:55] balz, so how exactly are you calling this command and what kind of error messages do you get? use the pastebin and show us an excerpt .. maybe the problem is beyond permissions? [20:55] HEllo there. I seem to have a very annoying problem with Hardy Heron 8.04. Every time I select "switch user" and then log back in with the same user my session is closed and it starts a new one. So whenever i want to leave programs running and switch user for securtiy purposes so that others can use the computer but not my user, I cannot do it because its as if my session is closed every time i switch users.

[20:56] I have a problem. :( I'm hoping to use Latex in my system. What do I have to install? Thanks. [20:56] balz, it sure could .. but i can't speak for how mythtv is designed [20:57] Wait to extract the files from the iso or to burn it to cd [20:57] balz, you could change that to reflect an actual user on the system [20:57] unop: let me try that, then i actually have to run. thanks so much for the help though [20:57] hello, can someone tell me how to upgrade from version 6.06 to the most recent version of ubuntu?

[21:10] stefanbilde, splitter [21:10] Anyone have problems/comments with gvfs? [21:10] robot_jesus, didn't work means what exactly? [21:10] abbot: no [21:11] unop , oops that worked now I needed the second usb installed for power i guess [21:11] dusty_, the sendmail manpage should tell you how [21:11] abbot: are you using the open source driver? if so type what I told you to type above into a terminal and hit enter [21:11] abbot: your card is blacklisted, that just bypasses the blacklist ;) [21:11] k31to: ok. i'll try. one sec. thanks [21:11] what command do I run to find out which apache modules are installed- particularly I want to know if the mod_rewite is installed.

[21:16] sub-esc, apache2 -M [21:17] abbot: the ati cards are blacklisted for a reason, I'm saving up, I gotta get me an nVidia asap! [21:17] k31to: i don't know specifically. it's in a laptop.

They say the only way to get around it is to avoid updating that component after a fresh installation. [21:19] nadia, not sure then. :/ [21:19] WDC: but like a lot of other people running Hardy, I have never had this problem.

[21:21] whats a good audiocrad for 8.04 64bit ? i need always to put my old sb live back to get thing running better. but sb connect or newer card sounds much better. [21:21] HEllo there. I seem to have a very annoying problem with Hardy Heron 8.04. Every time I select "switch user" and then log back in with the same user my session is closed and it starts a new one. So whenever i want to leave programs running and switch user for securtiy purposes so that others can use the computer but not my user, I cannot do it because its as if my session is closed every time i switch users. What could the problem be and how could i fix it? [21:21] Thanks in advance [21:21] Friends, some of you may have heard about "easy_install" - can someone tell me how is installing a python app with easy_install different from installing via apt-get (in debian) [21:21] But for now microfoon and some audio in flash is really broken [21:21] k31to: thanks. i'll have to tweak some compiz settings and turn some things off so it runs a bit smoother. [21:21] kenden, why are you switching users and logging back in with the same user? [21:22] abbot: you could also install this pack sudo apt-get install sysinfo --- if you run it by typing sysinfo in the terminal you can find out _loads_ of info on your system and export it to a handy text file ;) [21:22] k31to: now i've just gotta get my wifi working again. [21:22] nadia: I've seen that before. I use the main menu so I can configure it manually. I find it better and takes less space in the panel [21:22] abbot: np I'm off now, peace [21:22] ho [21:22] nadia, it depends on whether a menu entry is wanted or not .. the entry could be placed in the system/admin menu too [21:23] abbot: want my advice? buy a card that actually works with linux, I did and it works 10x better than my previosu card did with xp lol [21:23] nadia, it's up to the package maintainer whether or not a menu entry is created. [21:23] abbot, nvidia all the way baby [21:23] k31to, what type and manufacture ? [21:23] then this application probably doesn't install any [21:23] abbot: it cost £20 from linuxemporium (it was an edimax) I now have NO dropouts ever [21:23] dusty_, sendmail -bunch -of -options I've been desperately trying to get better performance from my ATI X1100 chip. The fglrx driver with ubuntu gives slow video playback and casues wine to crash... the open source fast playback but horrible framerates on even Diablo II.. tried to install the latest ati drivers, failed.. now though the Hardware Drivers Manager doesn't see the card...? [21:23] DigiFly: see above [21:23] nadia: also, if you right click the menu, you can select "Edit menus". You can manually add it [21:24] unop, what are the options or can it just be sendmail arrrghhh Because i do not want to leave my session open. I want others to be able to user ubuntu with other users and then i want to retrieve my session by loggin back in.. Does that mak sensE?

Thanks! [21:25] Hey SeaPhor [21:25] thanks [21:26] I've just installed hardy on my toshiba satellite, but the gui is only using a small square in the center of the screen [21:26] k31to possible i look to qwuick. but i dont see audio [21:26] dusty_, be careful with binary files tho .. those need to be encoded for attachments. [21:26] HailandKill: there should be a removal script in /usr/share/ati execute that and revert back to the open driver, if you need to fglrx then reinstall that (though i wouldn't) [21:26] DigiFly: we were talking about wifi cards [21:26] nadia: you can also change the icon. It's a little tricky. When you select the propierties of a launcher, you can see the icon. CLick on the icon and a window to change it appears [21:26] I need a audiocard [21:27] how do I make my nvidia card used?

Pretty well concealed I must admit ;) [21:28] MonthOLDpickle: you should just be able to enable it in restricted drivers. [21:28] hi all [21:28] k31to: I didn't really explain very well.. while I get better video playback on the open source drivers, I can't play any games.. which I would kind of like... so I was going back to fglrx. But now the drivers manager can't see it.. well, I wondered why that might be?

I remember that there is a way to get around this, but I don't remember how. Isn't it nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf? What do I do once I'm in there? [22:11] mib_eiupiq: Installing KDE on Ubuntu is the same as installing KDE. [22:11] jpds: doesn't that remove KDE stuff? [22:12] jpds: but will ubuntu + kde = kubuntu ? [22:12] hi guys, dir /opt is presently owned by user and group root. can I change it to my user without any problems? thanks. [22:12] mib_eiupiq: Yes.

[22:14] gregge: did you set a password on the XP computer? [22:14] <\sia\> Arastein: ^^ [22:14] Trader_T: i run kde and gnome apps at the same time all the time, my uptime is over 45 days [22:14] so at the end of the script i would put "&& flashcam killall" ? [22:14] Oo [22:14] linuxfce: yep [22:14] arrrghhh: oh, then can;t work out why system keeps hanging for like 15 seconds [22:14] ahh k [22:14] djhash: no..

[22:19] Whiz2: If the purekde page says it... [22:19] Trader_T: Defragging does not really exist with Unix file systems. [22:19] The_ManU_212: no, export does not write to .bashrc, but yes, you can edit .bashrc and load it with the source command.

Basically I want it to be so that when I close one program, another program is killed. && killall flashcam doesn't work because flashcam is still running, and flashcam is what was used to launch the other program. [22:21] The_ManU_212: you need to export from within bashrc to make it "permanent" it's not really permanant per-se, but .bashrc is read every time bash starts... and you can edit it anywhere you want. The top is a good choice. Look around and see if PS1 is getting set anywhere in it already and edit it there. [22:21] invalid option l [22:21] I use destinator 6 and I see I need to install destnator console ... is it possible on Ubuntu? [22:21] So the idea would be, if there were a way to have bash kill any specified program, during any other specified programs exit. [22:21] qr ok, i exported the string you gave me and it works but is not fat [22:21] only lightblue [22:22] dVs that is hard to say, depends on how you did things etc [22:22] hellcattrav: aplay -i or aplay -l (l for luke) ? [22:22] <[eXception]> cant me burn a dvd with live-cd ? [22:22] how do I check which ubuntu version I have ? [22:22] what would be the easiest way for me to take the system i have installed (with all the changes i have made) and put it on another system or partition ? [22:22] dVs, should not stop you from having fun - backup all user data in /home, all settings in /etc on a separate drive and have fun learning new thing :0) [22:22] Example. Would there be a way to make it so when closing firefox, xchat would also close with it? [22:22] The_ManU_212: the \e[1;36m part is the code for bold blue, you'll have to google for terminal color codes if it's not working for you. [22:23] needhelp: cat /etc/issue [22:23] carthik i cant .. if i reinstall this laptop again my wife is going to kill me :) [22:23] dVs, if the new partition is bigger or the same size, you can "image" the existing install (but not when the system is booted and using the installation) [22:23] linuxfce, i mean you could write a script that checks whether or not firefox is running... ugh just thinking about how the script would work is ugly at best. [22:24] dVs so its a laptop, gets even more interesting. To really know how to help you, its necessary to know what exactly you are upto :| [22:24] qr its coulered [22:24] The_ManU_212: awesome [22:24] carthik yeah I thought of that but was thinking there might just be a way to get the actually instalation .. not the whole partition [22:24] dVs: clonezilla [22:24] i typed "top" into terminal, it says nautilus is using memory - is that normal? [22:24] hello, when i create a file it is automaticaly set to -rw-r--r--, how to change this behavior? i want it to be -rw-rw-r-- automaticaly. (every user of the group should have the right to change the files) how to automate this? [22:24] can I PM you ? [22:24] needhelp /etc/lsb_release has that info in it, so type cat /etc/lsb_release at the command line [22:25] dVs: it's not an ubuntu software, but it is based on debian, it allows you to backup whole partitions or drives === trmanco_ is now known as trmanco [22:25] arrrghhh i just want to make it so when closing one program, another program is killed [22:25] ok i will look into it [22:25] Trader_T: yes, every program you run will use at least some memory. [22:25] carthik | captain: thanks [22:25] linuxfce, why? [22:25] jpds: Sorry removing perl GTK libs also removes the bum pkg which I actively use, so gtk+2 libs for perl stay [22:25] linuxfce: what's wrong with program1 && killall program2 exactly? [22:26] how can i install the KDE graphic interface, and delete the GNOME desktop enviroment? [22:26] spetsnaz, hold on i have a link [22:26] arrrghhh, long story short. Gyachi does not support my webcam, so i am using flashcam and vloopback to forward frames to another video device location [22:26] spetsnaz, first install kubuntu-desktop [22:26] qr: of course. But what I meant is it's using alot of memory, along with compiz.real, and I don't know what these processes are. [22:26] qr but not fat...so i have to search [22:26] thanks arrrghhh [22:26] The_ManU_212: yes, gl [22:26] linuxfce, eek not my expertise at all lol sorry [22:27] and what must i do after kubuntu-desktop isntall? [22:27] i have a script that beings flashcam frame forwarding to /dev/video2 and wraps gyachi to flash cam. [22:27] but when i exit gyachi, flashcam is still forwarding frames [22:27] Trader_T: compiz stuff is the desktop effects, that's going to use a lot of memory no matter how you slice it. Nautilus, I don't know why it would use a _lot_ of memory. nautilus is your file browser. [22:27] <[eXception]> im am working with live cd and i want to burn a cd is that not possible with the same drive? [22:27] qr let me try that [22:28] [eXception]: nope [22:28] qr, why is nautilus always running? [22:28] <[eXception]> knoppix can do that right? [22:28] qr should that be part of my program1 launching script, or a separate script all together? [22:28] which still brings me to my opriginal question. Can I safely remove GNOME specifics on a KDE system such as gconf2? [22:28] Trader_T: For the icons on your desktop [22:28] can i use in syncron the KDE and the GNOME? [22:28] It's just a folder [22:28] qr thx for your help [22:28] hello [22:29] spetsnaz, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde [22:29] ok, thanks all for your help [22:29] can i mount a single directory from a drive or do i have to make it a seperate partition? [22:29] linuxfce: depends how you have your scripts set up, program1launchscript && killall ... is probably a good bet though [22:29] spetsnaz, now in the future if you install with aptitude, you can just use aptitude to remove kubuntu-desktop and it'll get everything instead of removing ALL those packages. [22:29] linuxfce: just make sure that the launch script always finishes successfully or the killall won't be run. If you can't gaurentee this use a ; instead of && [22:29] linuxfce: make a shortcut on the desktop and for a command use - killall gyachi && killall flashcam [22:30] okay arrghh thanks a help a lot! [22:30] ;) [22:30] I downloaded the skyke for ubuntu deb file, I know its not supported by ubuntu, but its says wrong architecture, is there any 64 version of skype for linux ? [22:30] qr can i query you to show you some lines, unfortanetly more then 3, would be faster then a pastebin (part of bashrc) [22:30] qoncept: find a unix-equivalent for the DOS command JOIN, then mount it [22:30] using heron, can't display over 800x600 and the xorg isn't like it used to be [22:30] The_ManU_212: ok [22:31] hey, how do i mount an ntfs drive from the terminal? [22:31] as in, it's unfamiliar to me [22:31] I have a question, is there a real difference between KDE and GNOME or is it a purely visual difference? [22:31] tyg13: the difference is fundimental [22:31] when i try "sudo mount /etc/sdc /mnt/sdc" it asks me to specify filesystem type [22:31] mEDEc, "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/xxx /media/mnt" - make sure /media/mnt exists. [22:31] mEDEc, sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /media/usb1 [22:31] lol [22:31] qr: how so? [22:31] tyg13: as in they are completely different projects which use completely different code bases [22:31] arrrghhh, qoncept -- ok thanks :) [22:32] np [22:32] how often do nerds agree on how to do something? haha. [22:32] arrrghhh: NEVER!! [22:32] medec download qonqueror [22:33] qr: I currently use GNOME, I'm only curious as if there is a difference other than visual and their respective code bases [22:33] lol.. thats why we have a gazillion different linux distros.. [22:33] how can i find out if my network connection is gigabit or 100bt? [22:33] captainm, seriously, and our responses were like identical [22:33] qr: if I were to switch to KDE would there be a huge difference from GNOME? [22:33] tyg13: do you mean from a user perspective? [22:34] qr: Yes [22:34] tyg13, uh... yea [22:34] !ping [22:34] I like KDE better than Gnome [22:34] ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [22:34] tyg13: You'll use different applications and everything will be in a different place etc. etc. [22:34] they're completely different window managers [22:34] tyg13: they wouldn't be different projects if they were the same for end users :\ [22:34] tyg13: but the basics are the same, same file system and such [22:34] ahh [22:34] tyg13, it's all personal preference. some ppl like gnome, kde, enlightment, flux, holy crap there's a ton of WM's to choose from. [22:34] kde is more desktop [22:34] captainm: file systems have nothing to do with window managers... [22:35] how can I discover what smb hosts/workgroups there are on a particular network from the cli? [22:35] qr: that's what I'm trying to tell him ;) [22:35] captainm: ahh, ok. carry on then. [22:35] n3hima, i don't think you can *discover* them. but you can configure samba from the cli. [22:35] how can i switch from GNOME to KDE? [22:36] tyg13: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [22:36] arrrghhh: dont forget looking glass [22:36] tyg13, aptitude install kubuntu-desktop [22:36] how do i make a shortcut to a folder? [22:36] djhash, oh i already forgot it. [22:36] lol [22:36] will it give me the option to switch to kde or will I manually have to do that? [22:36] tyg13: then log out and in the lower left corner of your login screen there's a menu with an option to change sessions, change it to KDE and log back in [22:36] hello [22:36] tyg13, sessions like qr said [22:36] ahh [22:37] qr i know this is just misinterpretation, what i did caused gyachi to start on exit lol. here is my pastebin of the script http://paste.ubuntu.com/39527/ [22:37] linuxfce: you have to tell killall what to kill... [22:37] linuxfce, that's because you're running it and not killing it.... [22:37] Wow... [22:38] this might take a while to install [22:38] 134 MB of archives [22:38] tyg13: indeed, kde is quite large [22:38] tyg13, yes there are a lot of differenet packages. kde uses QT and gnome uses GTK - different platforms. [22:38] tyg13: gnome is of comprable size [22:38] I thought they were about 600 MB [22:38] tyg13: plus you're getting plenty of games with kde :-D [22:38] tyg13, that's the whole os, kernel & all. [22:38] qr for what is the code 9? [22:38] ohhhh [22:38] compressed onto a cd that is... [22:39] The_ManU_212: 0;9 is the code for "normal" [22:39] n3hima: findsmb [22:39] The_ManU_212: where normal is whatever your terminal thinks normal is [22:39] qr but is 0 not the same? [22:39] maynards-girl, i need maynard's new side project, can you hook it up? [22:39] I think I'll refrain from installing KDE for a little bit :) [22:39] hi all! Anyone here had problems before with really weird graphics behaviour when trying to boot from an Ubuntu Live CD? [22:39] qr and arrrghhh this script does not work http://paste.ubuntu.com/39529/ [22:40] The_ManU_212: no, 0 is a specific color, although 99% of the time your terminal thinks that normal == 0 [22:40] !anyone [22:40] 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?

If that makes sense. So I tried to boot from the CD, got through the loading screen, and then the whole screen went eye-bleedingly bright green and stretched itself out so far horizontally that the mouse pointer was a little blur in the middle.

Welcome to #ubuntu! [23:04] khakane: very helpfull.... thanks. [23:04] hi, sorry , but i have a problem [23:04] tgm4883_laptop, are you running cron as root? some cron jobs need root privileges to run,. [23:04] tgm4883_laptop: Can you pastebin an example of one ( preferably the simplest ) that is not working? [23:04] arrrghhh, yes [23:04] thesaint4444: no problem! [23:04] Jordan_U, will do, just a sec [23:04] i stupidly installed xubuntu from the terminal onto my already installed ubuntu hardy [23:04] tgm4883_laptop, and are you using crontab or just cron? [23:04] khakane: lol... [23:04] then? [23:05] gr3y5t0ne: nothing wrong with that [23:05] gr3y5t0ne, i don't see why that's a problem [23:05] documentation is in place for a reason [23:05] then, i tried uninstalling it from the terminal [23:05] xintron: you should have "exec startfluxbox" in the .xinitrc file and use startx to get to desktop afaik [23:05] and it said it uninstalled [23:05] thesaint4444: maybe learning to use it is more important than somone feeding you commands [23:05] gr3y5t0ne: xubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage, are you looking to get back to pure ubuntu? [23:05] yes [23:06] gr3y5t0ne: have to uninstall xfce4 really to get rid of xubuntu desktop [23:06] !puregnome | gr3y5t0ne [23:06] gr3y5t0ne: If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome » [23:06] xintron: it's what I do and flux works great :) [23:06] gr3y5t0ne: That page has an easy copy/paste line to do it [23:06] ok thankd [23:06] *thanks [23:06] khakane: thank you ohhh oracle of wisdom! [23:06] i will try it out :) [23:06] How does one add a password to a live cd session for added security? [23:06] thesaint4444: no problem oh lazy uneducated linux troll ;) [23:06] thesaint4444, we appreciate it when people help themselves instead of demanding to be hand-fed commands. [23:07] Firefishe, uh a livecd doesn't have a pass for a reason... [23:07] khakane: someone got out of bed on the wrong side this morning... [23:07] Firefishe, i mean you could do it, but you'd lose it the second you shutdown or reboot [23:07] arrrghhh: I'm using it in a public environment. I want to secure the desktop environment if I have to step away from the 'puter for a moment. [23:07] thesaint4444: and someone obviously fell out of bed this morning and hit their head.. [23:07] Firefishe: What are you trying to accomplish exactly? [23:08] Firefishe, use a persistent install on a flash drive [23:08] Jordan_U: see above ^^ [23:08] khakane: never heard that one before... thanks. [23:08] not suprising [23:08] Firefishe: you can set a passord: sudo passwd ubuntu [23:08] Jordan_U: got it booted into old kernel. [23:08] Firefishe: Note there is more than setting a password that is needed to secure the live session [23:09] Odd-rationale, Firefishe: no need for sudo, you're setting your own password [23:09] Jordan_U, most call other scripts and add arguments. This one I think may be the easiest http://pastebin.com/m55ac8a92 [23:09] just "passwd" will work. [23:09] Flannel: well, if no sudo, then it asks for passwd [23:09] Flannel: sudo doesn't need a passwd on the live cd [23:09] The problem I see with most of my cron jobs, is that I can run them manually and they work, but when they run automatically, they fail at some point [23:10] Odd-rationale: ... right.. but you just hit enter at the password prompt, and then set one [23:10] khakane: sorry.. you are right it was a stupid question. [23:10] khakane: typing before thinking, long day... [23:10] Flannel: if just passwd, then it asks for current passwd... [23:10] Odd-rationale: right, and you hit enter. [23:10] Jordan_U: Sorry, got called away. What is involved in securing the live cd session>? [23:11] tgm4883_laptop: Two probable causes, one you may be assuming that /bin/sh == bash, which it doesn't or two there may be environment variables that need to be set for what you are doing to work [23:11] Firefishe: What are you hoping to secure? [23:11] I'm trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 on a Mac Mini. I need to partition my ubuntu frive as FAT right? [23:11] Flannel: hmm. i'll have to try that next time... :P [23:11] FlamingHairball: no, ext3 [23:11] How do I edit my Places -> Bookmarks ? [23:11] hi all, how do i download the sourcecode for my kernel version? [23:12] FlamingHairball, FAT is a old microsoft file system [23:12] !kernel | Crshman [23:12] Crshman: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [23:12] Flannel: but i don't recall that working last time... [23:12] What is a good program for alerting me of new email via the system try? [23:12] tray* [23:12] Flannel: Here's my situation: This is on a laptop. My h/d is toast so I'm using the live cd with a usb drive for saving files. This system works for what I'm wanting to achieve. I just want a way to secure the desktop when I have to, say, hit the rest room or something. [23:12] arrrghhh: So I don't need to worry about pertitioning in OS X do I? [23:12] Odd-rationale: theres no password for (the user|sudo) on the liveCD, you just said that. passwd asks for your password:) [23:12] whats the easiest way to copy this installation onto different hardware ? [23:12] FlamingHairball, not sure how to answer that question... [23:12] *partitioning [23:13] Flannel: I try to lock the desktop, but as soon as I hit a key or touch the touchpad, the desktop, unsecured, comes right back up. [23:13] How do I edit my Places -> Bookmarks ? [23:13] dVs: clone the hard drive or partitions. use clonezilla or partimage [23:13] Firefishe: alright, then yeah, set a password, and lock the screen when you go AFK. Although, be advised someone could just reboot the machine [23:13] Hi I am having an issues w/ installing vmware server 1.0.6 on Ubuntu 8.04, I keep getting an error about being unable to get the last modification timestamp of /etc/vmware/ssl/rui.key [23:13] Flannel: True on the last part, but I'm not too worried about that part, I'm not usually gone for long. [23:13] erUSUL and putting it on different hardware wont matter ? [23:13] Thanks :) [23:14] s0|: Try using virtualbox [23:14] Firefishe: I am not sure entirely, it also depends on how smart the people you are giving it to are :) For one I think that user "ubuntu" is automatically logged in in tty1 if someone switches to it [23:14] dVs: we may have problemas with the xserver (graphics) bu the rest is ok [23:14] I enabled XDMCP in GDM and now it listens on 177/udp, though it answers only when connecting from localhost. How do I make it available for my LAN? [23:14] dVs: to reconfigure x try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' [23:14] i messed up with my gnome a bit, i used some theme managers and other additional stuff, and now i want to have once again clean gnome - how do i do it? will reinstall option in synaptic be enough [23:14] ? [23:14] Jordan_U: I see. [23:14] Firefishe: try setting the password with just "passwd" and tell us if that works... [23:14] Odd-rationale: k...1 sec [23:15] I'm having trouble setting up virtualbox. I have a current windows partition of my drive, but I'm wondering if I need the XP CD to set it up. [23:15] Theaxiom, maybe, but I would like to see if I can get VMware server going again. I had it installed on 7.06 and vmserver 1.05 before I added a compeletly new disk subsystem. [23:15] so the only problem would be the display ? or monitor ? [23:15] Firefishe, i suggested the persistent flash install so it is secure and you don't have to worry about people rebooting [23:16] what about like the swap partition ? [23:16] Jordan_U: Hey so you know, I've decided to wipe the server, and start over. it's going to take me a while to get it back to the way I need it, but it's better than sitting here struggling with it as is. Any suggestions on a light weight X desktop, or version of ubuntu? (X Desktop needs to be there) [23:16] ho wwill it know where to point at it ? [23:16] Whiz2: Xubuntu? Or install from the alternate CD without a GUI, and then add fluxbox or blackbox or ratpoison or whatever. [23:16] Who knows about Synaptic touchpads in here - specifically multitouch [23:16] Whiz2: xubuntu [23:17] but servers don't have X [23:17] I'm having trouble setting up virtualbox. I have a current windows partition of my drive, but I'm wondering if I need the XP CD to set it up. [23:17] tyg13: you need a XP CD to install it in Virtualbox. I've heard it's a way to turn your installation but I don't know how [23:17] wols_: I need X because I use the GUI more than the command line [23:17] how do I run x programs from a virtual console? I try doing "DISPLAY=:0.0 xprop -root" and it says "can't open display" or "connection refused by server" [23:17] Ahh [23:17] Whiz2: that's rubbish. doesn't mean you need X at all [23:17] is there a tool to find the fastest rep mirror? [23:17] arrrghhh: I do have a 2GB drive I've *tried* to install ubuntu 8.04 to. I've followed the instructions on pendrivelinux.com religiou but I get an boot error upon booting. Doesn't seem to want to find the image file. [23:18] carandraug: Thank you. I'll go digging around for my XP CDs :) [23:18] religiously [23:18] wols_: X is the gui is it not? [23:18] no, X server is the "graphics driver" [23:18] tyg13: I've jound an howto on howto do it how you want but it's in paper [23:18] wols_: then what is the X Desktop? [23:18] I'll take it [23:19] an X client [23:19] How do I edit my Places -> Bookmarks ? [23:19] carandraug: most of the tutorials I do is text [23:19] MXIIA: edit your nautilus bookmarks [23:19] i'm trying to fix a bug for my laptop but i can't figure out how to apply the patch [23:19] here is a link to the fix: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/139045/comments/30 [23:19] Launchpad bug 139045 in linux-source-2.6.22 "Slow suspend on various Toshiba laptops" [Medium,In progress] [23:19] tyg13: it's in paper. An article from "Linux format" [23:19] Is there a channel specifically for usb drive install issues with ubuntu 8.04? [23:19] when i try to open that file it's just a bunch of jibberish [23:19] wols_: I use a VNC type setup in order to get access to my KDE desktop (running X) [23:19] anybody know anything about Hardy Heron's xorg? [23:19] Crshman: that is not for hardy kerneös [23:19] *kernels [23:20] Firefishe: did "passwd" work? to set password? [23:20] carandraug: Do you have a link? Or is it real physical paper?! [23:20] odd-rationale: how do I do that? [23:20] alcane_: Try asking your actual question / stating your problem [23:20] wols_, I know, i don't think that patch has been applied for my specific model though [23:20] Odd-rationale: *bonk* Ooops, my bad. Let me see. [23:20] x, not , someting like opnengl or directx [23:20] carandraug: If its real paper I think I'm out of luck :) [23:20] tyg13: real physical paper. Linux format is a magazine [23:20] MXIIA: in your file manager, go to bookmarks [23:20] argh [23:20] i can't display over 800x600, running a ATI Mach64 CT [23:20] MXIIA: bookmarks --> edit bookmarks [23:20] wols_: My VNC program uses X server or X11 (can't remember which) [23:20] carandraug: I'll go google hunting. Thanks for the help. [23:21] i'd use customer resolutions, but Heron's xorg isn't like past versions that I'm used to [23:21] custom* [23:21] Odd-rationale: Well, it did take the password, but the screen lock still won't recognize it...I may have to reset the x server, which means, of course, this window as well. [23:21] tyg13; using virtualbox you don't need to make a partition. virtualbox creates a file which it'll use to store your guest OS [23:21] alcane_: it still is [23:21] xyblor_: Try ( from X ) "xhost + localhost" ( I havn't actually tried this but from the man page I think that it should work ) [23:21] !X server [23:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about x server [23:21] i have gnome installed, yet neither gnome nor gnome-core appear installed in synaptic, why is this? [23:21] Jordan_U: never tell people to use xhost. EVER [23:22] wols_: Sorry, xyblor_ Please don't use xhost [23:22] bastid_raZor: No. I started off with windows then made a wubi install of ubuntu. I have the windows partition currently mounted. All I want to do is take an existing partition and use it in virtualbox [23:22] wols_: picky arent you? [23:22] Whiz2: google "remote X" [23:22] wols_: it's not like anything i've ever seen. [23:22] Whiz2: I just don't want people to oppen security holes [23:22] but in a resume, what they do is, 1 - boot from a liveCD, 2 - backup the entire Windows partition, 3 - resize the windows partition, freeing space for Linux, 4 - install a Linux OS on the newly freed space, 5 - Convert the windows partition to a VMDK file, 6 - Boot linux, install Virtualbox or Vmware, 7 - configure the windows VMDK file to create a virtual machine and run it [23:23] tyg13: they call it inverting windows [23:23] wols_: AHA! X server is used to access the X desktop client from a remote location. (hence you saying remote X) I don't use a monitor on my server. I need to be able to access it remotely [23:23] Jordan_U: I tried to change the software source, first disabling multiverse, and the result is http://paste.ubuntu.com/39541/ [23:23] dpkg> somebody said xauth was the mechanism for sharing around authorisation for clients to connect to your X server. Ask me about for more information. The xauth program is in the xbase-clients package (sarge and etch) or in the xauth package from lenny onwards. See also http://www.acm.uiuc.edu/workshops/cool_unix/xauth.html or ask me about . [23:24] wols_: I am curious what the correct way to do this would be [23:24] Whiz2: yes I know [23:24] brb [23:24] Jordan_U: see my paste [23:24] odd-rationale: thanks [23:24] wols_: so your argument that says I don't need X server is invalid :p [23:24] needhelp: No, don't disable multiverse, disable the repositories in the "third party" tab [23:24] Whiz2: it is not [23:24] wols_: explaion [23:24] Whiz2: no [23:24] Where can I find info about my CPU temp in conky? acpitemp is not working [23:24] x handles your screen remote or local [23:25] if you are too lazy to google I am too lazy to explain. seems fair to me [23:25] wols_: if you're not willing to explain, then don't give me the argument [23:25] Theaxiom, can virtual box run virtual machines if the host doesn't have X isntalled? [23:25] * wols_ plonks Whiz2 [23:25] wols_: Are you telling me i should be relying soley on the commandline? [23:25] Whiz2: please stop talking to me [23:26] s0|: http://www.sun.com/software/products/virtualbox/index.jsp [23:26] Finnish__: install lm-sensors and configure it perhaps [23:26] Whiz2: yes, you need to understand the command line before you rely on gui's [23:26] ok, i got safely booted back to old kernel, is there a way i can make this kernel permenant, and back out of the kernel upgrade? [23:26] khakane: uninstall the new non working kernel [23:27] alcane_: why? the gui is there for those that do't use the command line [23:27] khakane: but you might set the kernel on hold or such [23:27] wols_: will i need to do it w/ dpkg? [23:27] khakane: no [23:27] k [23:27] Whiz2: what are you trying to do? remote desktop into your server? [23:27] khakane: I would suggest trying to find the source of the problem as well though [23:27] x shouldnt run local, its a virtual device [23:27] Whiz2: would you rather just do something? or understand it so that next time you'll know what's going on? [23:27] Whiz2: learn the command line and you'll be better off [23:28] Jordan_U: xhost + localhost didn't change anything [23:28] i have gnome installed and i use it normally, but i messed it up a lot, so i decided to reinstall it - but it does not appear in my synaptic.. wtf? [23:28] How do I uninstall Songbird? [23:28] mavsman4457: how did you install it? [23:28] Jordan_U: yea i should, oddly enough i got 2 servers alike, but im not ready to reboot the other yet, so im thinking for now i should just stick to the old kernel [23:28] Odd-rationale: yes! i have my server setup that way right now, but i'm about to format it and start over. I want to be able to use the remote desktop for things I don't know how to do from the command line [23:28] e7th04sh: apt-cache show ubuntu-desktop [23:29] xyblor_: Don't use xhost, it is insecure ( I shouldn't have recommended it ) see wols_'s comment for how to do this properly [23:29] Help: Hi I needed to use a Java package so installed openjdk. When I go to run a .jar program it does not have association to openjdk anyone advise pse? [23:29] wols, i actually can't remember I think it was through a deb but I just found out that I don't need to uninstall it [23:29] Odd-rationale: catch is that for the system to work better when i do it, I need a recommendation for a lightweight X desktop [23:29] wols_: what's with that? [23:30] e7th04sh: do it [23:30] i did, i got and what's now? [23:30] wols_: how would i 'hold' it? [23:30] e7th04sh: what did it say?

Version 4.3.3-2ubuntu4.1 (hardy), package size 4152 kB, installed size 19580 kB [23:36] I have a problem with the internet at the moment - Whenever I reboot my laptop, my internet dies in so much as I am unable to connect to anything like IRC, MSN, any web pages. Ubuntu recognises there is a network connection, but nothing works. Checking my System Monitor, I can see there is about 10Kbps down stream but about 115Kbps upstream. Any ideas what the problem could be, anyone? [23:36] speener_: READ [23:37] i partitioned my hard disk (90 something gb) for 15 gb of ntfs file system and the rest unallocated...i installed xp pro on 15 gb and now want to install 8.04.1 on the rest, in ubuntu's installation should i do the guided installation where it uses the "largest continuous free space" to install on the unallocated part of my hdd?...otherwise it wants to use my entire disk or resize my 15gb (xp) partition [23:37] Saladin: check what it uploads [23:37] wols_: but wait, i have a gnome running, and i want to reinstall it - if i am doing what you told me, am i doing what i want? [23:37] Saladin: It's not RAM I'm worried about [23:37] e7th04sh: no [23:37] habernet: I'd go with manual install [23:37] also, when i uninstalled firefox to get firefox 3, it made me remove fe. ubuntu-docs [23:37] is that normal? [23:38] habernet: manual partitioning, I mean. [23:38] firefishe, okay im going to do that now, could you help me out if i have any questions about the install [23:38] ? [23:38] habernet: Do you know how to do that? [23:38] habernet: sure...let's go to pm [23:38] Whiz2: I know. But follow those instructions; under the bit about installing a window manager [23:38] is there a good graphical sftp client? [23:38] wols_: How can I do that? [23:38] roe_: filezilla maybe [23:38] roe_: gnome-vftp ;) [23:38] wols_: ok, let me rephrase, how do i install it? [23:39] hihi [23:39] Here's one. I'm working on getting my laptop to connect to my WiFi network. I think I'm having problems with WPA Supplicant. the command sudo wpa_cli returns the error "Could not connect to wpa_supplicant - re-trying" Any ideas? [23:39] speener_: I gave you the fscking package name! a properly configured ubuntu will install it [23:39] anyone know a laptop webcam what works in ubuntu?

[23:39] ty wols_ [23:40] Whiz2: Yeah. That is what I did on my server. === Guest104 is now known as topls [23:40] Saladin: thanks [23:40] Has anyone downloaded the new songbird? [23:40] Whiz2: No problems. [23:40] looks like I'mlearning the commandline as a start anyway lol [23:40] wols_: dude, see...that's my point [23:40] !anyone | mavsman4457 [23:40] mavsman4457: 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? [23:40] why can't i find these packages?? [23:40] speener_: broken sources.list [23:40] in the add/remove apps thing [23:40] how do i update or fix it? [23:40] hi.. i used to use linux a fair amount like 10 years ago i'm a little lost on how things are supposed to be working these days i guess.. just wondering what's the way i'm supposed to launch a text editor to have admin priv? i was thinking sudo and find the execuitable name but i figured there might be a simple way i'm missing [23:41] speener_: edit it, check your repos in synaptic, etc [23:41] Anyone here getting Illegal Instruction when you run Firefox or epiphany-browser? [23:41] I installed the new songbird and it shows no top menu ie file, edit, view, etc. why not? [23:41] inside0ut: that [23:41] i would like to trash all my disk and install new ubuntu on it - how do i this? [23:41] do i do* [23:41] Working fine here, beilabs. [23:41] inside0ut: that's it for cli editors. gksudo for gui ones [23:41] if i have no cd-rom on this computer? ^_^' [23:41] Whiz2: I use the command line a lot, even though I use the GUI. Generally makes life easier, but I can't do everything in there, as I don't have the knowledge. [23:41] e7th04sh: boot frm livecd and delete the ubuntu partition(s) [23:42] quarterlife, hmm, have deleted the .mozilla folder, still can't seem to get it working [23:42] for some reason, when i try to play a flash video, i can't hear any audio [23:42] e7th04sh: then reinstall [23:42] !install | e7th04sh [23:42] e7th04sh: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways.

I'm using fluxbox and what is causing this error? [23:42] xintron: no dbus running [23:42] can some giveme a link to download ubuntu at high speed [23:42] beilabs: Tried renaming your .mozilla folder? [23:43] wols_: How do I check what is uploading? [23:43] can some giveme a link to download ubuntu at high speed [23:43] Saladin: netstat, possibly iptraf, etc [23:43] wols_: ok, how do I start it? [23:43] Jordan_U, renaming? umm, I deleted it....reinstalling, re-configuring it should have sorted it out, but nope [23:43] can some giveme a link to download ubuntu at high speed [23:43] wols_: Thanks man [23:43] xintron: install it first [23:43] can some giveme a link to download ubuntu at high speed [23:43] itachi; that link will get it at decent speeds [23:43] !repeat | itachi [23:43] itachi: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [23:43] wols_: it's working on my gnome-session but not my fluxbox-session. So it is installed. [23:43] itachi: stop the spamming. you only annoy is all and won't get any help [23:44] itachi: Go to ubuntu.com and choose a download mirror close to you. [23:44] *us [23:44] for some reason, when i try to play a flash video, i can't hear any audio [23:44] itachi: That is the best way to ensure good speed [23:44] xintron: IIRC some init script, but not sure === kEEGAn is now known as ZZ_Keegan [23:45] the speed is slow === ctmnz is now known as CaT_MaN [23:45] Jordan_U, the .mozilla folder was re-created, still getting an illegal instruction error though. [23:45] itachi: are you paying for it? no? then don't complain [23:45] wols_: Lol [23:45] y u being so rude -.- [23:45] lol [23:45] itachi: cause you are whiny and think you are entitled to something which you aren't [23:46] where are the admins when you need them? [23:46] whats the speed ? [23:46] im just wondering... where can i downbload it faster [23:46] refriedbeans: About your flash problem... Give me a moment and I will get the command for you [23:46] itachi, torrent? [23:46] itachi: you were told [23:46] oh ok, thank you so much saladin :) [23:46] 90kbps [23:46] refriedbeans: start the browser in a xterm and check output [23:46] how do i see how much disk space i have free from a command line/ [23:46] qoncept: df [23:46] qoncept; df -h [23:46] thx [23:47] wols_: sudo /etc/init.d/dbus start * system message bus already started; not starting. [23:47] wols_, whats an xterm? [23:47] i keep receiving arabic output from my keyboard when i am installing Ubuntu via D-I. [23:47] refriedbeans: an X terminal [23:47] xintron: then I dunno, sorry [23:47] hi there. I've just downloaded a .rar file with an iso file. When I try to mount (using -o loop) it says the format is not iso9660. I've opened the header of the file in hexadecimal and it says something about "Apple partition map". Is there a way of opening it? [23:47] .... [23:47] theom3ga: file [23:47] wols_, it says just "Data" [23:48] theom3ga: some sort of apple proprietary iso :( [23:48] theom3ga: qneed to find out what format it is. hfs can be mounted [23:48] dunno about apple dmg [23:48] refriedbeans: use - sudo apt-get install libflashsupport [23:48] damn apple [23:49] oh ok, thank you [23:49] refriedbeans: Use that in the command line. Apologies for the slow answer, I can never remember what it's called. [23:49] hey, how can I verify an alias is working? [23:49] how do you change the menu in xubuntu, menu editor doesn't show most of the entries? [23:49] danhs: alias [23:49] can I type in the alias and say "echo" or something [23:49] no no, thats fine. take your time getting answers [23:49] wols_: nice.... [23:49] thanks [23:49] if i'm going to get assistance, i have to be patient :) [23:50] wols_: no way to type in the actual alias command itself and see what it translates to though, right? [23:50] danhs: alias |grep aliastocheck [23:50] wols_; what should file file.iso have said if it were a mountable iso? [23:50] bastid_raZor: iso9660 image or such [23:50] wols_; ok, thanks [23:50] wols_: ehh...okay....I thought there was somepoint where the remapped command (the alias) spit something out to standard out which I could just "catch" [23:51] danhs: KISS [23:51] haha [23:51] have there been any updates since the -21 kernel? i haven't gotten anything new and want to put the kernel update on hold [23:51] wols_: just hoping to verify that it was precisely right, that's all... [23:51] thanks very much for the help [23:51] bastid_raZor: Have you tried anything like "mount -t hfs -o loop file.iso /mountpoint" ? [23:51] molgrum: check packages.ubuntu.com yourself [23:52] Jordan_U: file should recognize hfs volumes [23:52] Saladin, thank you so much!! i finally have audio on youtube again. i give you kudos :) [23:52] when i select en_US as a langauge from the installer, how come I see arabic output when i type within the installer? [23:53] d-i debial-installer/locale string en_US [23:53] y does totem crash my system [23:53] i hate that [23:53] refriedbeans: Not a problem buddy. Is what we're here for, no? [23:53] for some reason, totem and vlc tend to freeze up ubuntu when i attempt to play mp4 videos [23:54] i have the same problem obf213 [23:54] Jordan_U; as wols said.. if file didn't see it as hfs then mount won't either [23:54] wols_: I just tried netstat, and there is too much info to see it one go. Is there a way to see just a page at a time, like the DOS /p parameter? [23:55] Saladin: |less [23:55] im tryin to open a file... using chmod +x but it just says the file doesnt exist [23:55] kernnando: what file? [23:55] its an executable file [23:55] i've noticed that Ubuntu takes advantage of my cable-based connection and the speed seems a lot faster than on windows [23:55] answer me. what name [23:55] I have a usb drive with several partitions. What is the fastest way to dismount all of the partitions so I can safely unplug it? Can you dismount an entire device? [23:56] refriedbeans: windows tcp stack is atrocious [23:56] refriedbeans; windows reserves some of your bandwidth to talk to M$.. [23:56] umount -a ? [23:56] theom3ga: bad choice very bad [23:56] when I do "groups abcd" I see, abcd : xyz mno ... So the user "abc" is in groups "xyz" and "mno". I want this user to be removed from group "xyz". I did a "usermod -G mno abcd" but that didn't work [23:56] refriedbeans: Yeah, I noticed that as well. My download speed went from about 100Kbps to a solidly stable 250Kbps [23:56] Ubuntu FTW [23:56] theom3ga, won't that completely dismount everything including my os? [23:57] i definitely know m$ is very shady, especially on vista [23:57] its a file my friend sent me called keymaker but yeah it wont open its for nerolinux [23:57] hiptobecubic, the in-use partitions won't get umounted [23:57] !warez | kernnando [23:57] kernnando: 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 [23:57] yeah, even copying files from my IDE HDD to my flash drive seems faster on ubuntu too [23:57] Friends, when I do "groups abcd" I see, abcd : xyz mno ... So the user "abc" is in groups "xyz" and "mno". I want this user to be removed from group "xyz". I did a "usermod -G mno abcd" but that didn't work [23:58] guys, i have this weird problem. after not using my compiz effects (cube, animations etc) for a while (3 minutes or so), if i start using them again they lag for a few seconds then work smoothly again. i'm on a dell xps 1330 sporting ubuntu 8.10, dual core 2.0 GHz, 2 GB ram, and a nvidia gfx card able to handle all compiz with no problem. might it be turning itself off to save power? does anyone know how to fix this? [23:58] okay i have this disk where i get some kind of { DRDY } error at boot, stalling the ubuntu install process. [23:58] i know for a fact that m$ uses windows media player 11 as spyware. when i used to plug in my ipod in the beginning, i would get a prompt from my firewall if windows media player could access the internet. i got that prompt everytime [23:59] so after a while, i blocked wmp from going on the internet at all times [23:59] windows can boot with the disk just fine, and arch complains, but after a while proceeds to boot as well. anybody know what's going on? [23:59] fsufitch: Most likely compiz's memory is being paged to disk ( if you are low on RAM especially ) [23:59] Jordan_U: my ram is at 20% usage [23:59] *22%
