P5|3itachi: then create a shortcut on your desktop with the command: openarena00:00
lwizardlWDC: right click the torrent file on your computer and then select open with00:00
trinaryShiftWDC: No problem. VLC will play just about anything you throw at it, and it's pretty light. Definitely my favorite video player.00:00
P5|3itachi: then just click it and the game should start00:00
r4bactually, i'vejust noticed that my linux partition is an extended one, comprising of the root and swap partition. Is it still safe to resize?00:00
P5|3I am trying to use a static IP address to eth0 which works, but I can not access my routers configuration page (times out) neither can I ping anything else in the network. If I do the same on my windows pc it works! What am I doing wrong?00:00
=== oddgoose is now known as ladyfantasy
lwizardlWDC: sorry forgot something. right click the torrent file, select properties, then select open with00:00
itachiP5|3, so i'll go in terminal nd open terminal nd type what command again00:01
WDClwizardl: Thanks!00:01
WDCtrinaryShift: I used it on Windows and I loved it as well00:01
lwizardlWDC: with that you can change your default programs on opening anything.00:01
gleyveFrostwire? Limewire? ou aMule?00:01
trinaryShiftr4b: I'd say back up all your data first regardless00:01
__mikemgleyve, noneof the above00:01
Bjorn_Can someone helpme PLEASE? When I start the live CD, and then go to the Try version.. It loads, but then if I want to install it, when clicking on 'Install' @ the desktop, it doesn't even load, then I tried to do the command in the terminal, and it gave the following error: http://rafb.net/p/xe6gul93.html So it doesn't even install..00:01
trinaryShiftWDC: Yep, same here. Fantastic little program.00:01
lwizardlWDC: no problem i had that issue when I was starting to use ubuntu. I prefer to use azureus for my torrents00:01
gleyvewhat do u advice?00:01
__mikemgleyve, transmission00:02
WDClwizardl: I'm not REALLY a Java fan. Not that it's bad, just I don't like it00:02
r4bwell, there isnt really any important stuff yet, just wondering if it'd affect anything since it's an extended partiton00:02
P5|3itachi: 1st start ubuntu, 2nd push alt+F2, 3rd type openarena00:02
P5|3itachi: this should work00:02
hari_hello!  I appear to be having a problem with a single commercial DVD's playback.  I already have libdvdcss, and can play other dvd's.  Unfortunately, this one locks up my machine.  The disk is a retail version of 'Pursuit of Happyness"  Any ideas?00:02
FFEMTcJis it possible to run compiz on a system with an nvidia card and two monitors00:02
itachiP5|3, ok be brb00:02
lwizardlWDC: yeah i'm not a huge fan of java either but it seems to work for me better on SBC isp00:02
Dumbakchihari i have an idea... have you heard of a program called ogle00:03
squiddyhi all.. i'm having an issue with scrolling down page on firefox, it is not smotth/lag or something00:03
Dumbakchiits an old project, but i used it once for playing dvd's, and it was very good00:03
WDClwizardl: hmmm. That's interesting. I am on ATT (with my connection it's technicly SBC)00:03
trinaryShiftFFEMTcJ: I'm fairly certain that it is, you'd just have to make sure everything's configured nicely. I've got it to work flawlessly with no additional configuration, however.00:03
lwizardlWDC: yeah i've been having issues with the p2p blocking crap00:04
r4bforgive me if this is stupid, but i cant resize the partition ubuntu is currently running on, can I?00:04
P5|3r4b: no00:04
squiddyr4b, u can't, use live CD instead00:04
r4bthough as much00:04
FFEMTcJtrinaryShift: ive been tryin for a couple days now... i cant use the propriatary drivers with two monitors, and cant get compiz working without the propriatary drivers00:04
trinaryShiftgleyve: I'd recommend getting azureus from the repositories (as it's the older, smaller version...much more suited to my tastes) for torrenting files00:04
gleyve__mikem: u mean bit torrent transmission?00:04
hari_Dumbakchi, NO, I don't think I have.  I've tried to play the disk in Totem, and VLC.  Totem locks up the machine, and VLC just flickers, and stops.00:04
Dumbakchiok... in a terminal type: sudo apt-get install ogle00:05
r4bi'm on a netbook so no cd drive. I have a liveusb though, i'll do it later. Thanks for the advice00:05
Dumbakchifollowed by sudo apt-get install ogle-gui00:05
trinaryShiftFFEMTcJ: Hmm. How did you install your drivers?00:05
gmoorelooking to pick up a new videocard for my HTPC running ubuntu + XBMC linuxport. as far as support + performance + stability goes , should i look at nvidia or ati?00:05
P5|3gmoore: i like nvidia way better00:06
FFEMTcJi installed them from system>admin>hardware drivers.. but then when i used nvidia-settings, did the dual monitors using xinerama it changed from the propriatary to some other ones00:06
WDCThanks all. g2g. VLC FTW00:06
lwizardlgmoore: Nvidia has lots of support00:06
lwizardlin Linux00:06
gmooreso ati is probably a poor choice just from a support standpoint then00:06
squiddygmoore, nvidia have better support for linux00:07
Chris|where's the helpers file?00:07
majnoongmoore, nvidia00:07
Zozmagmoore: correct00:07
squiddyhi all.. i'm having an issue with scrolling down page on firefox, it is not smotth/lag or something ? need help to fix this00:07
Dumbakchithats true... ati driver support isn't very good on linux00:07
Chris|or more rather, where or how can i add a app to the helpers list?00:07
trinaryShiftFFEMTcJ: I used Envy to configure all my nvidia graphics stuff, and that's worked out pretty well for me. It might be worth a try (the package is called envy-ng now, I believe).00:07
Zozmasome people have said ati's drivers have gotten a lot better in the last year or two, and they have00:07
Zozmabut they still suck00:07
hari_Dumbakchi, I just opened the disk in AcidRip, and it says that there are 94 titles on the disk...  O.O00:07
Dumbakchii see...00:07
FFEMTcJtrinaryShift: hardware drivers actually says that the propriatery are still in use.. however, when i go to appearance > visual effects and click normal, it says the composite extension is not available00:07
FFEMTcJtrinaryShift: ill try it00:08
trinaryShiftsquiddy: Have you installed the correct graphics drivers?00:08
lwizardlHas anyone here setup a point of sale cash register using Linux?00:08
=== C3838877 is now known as chalcedony
Dumbakchihave you tried installing ogle? type this: sudo apt-get install ogle; sudo apt-get install ogle-gui00:08
trinaryShiftFFEMTcJ: Yeah, envy is a python script that will automatically download the relevant drivers and configure your xorg.conf file.00:08
Chris|lwizardl, i'm sure its possible, Lowes uses linux00:08
Dumbakchiinto a terminal00:08
squiddytrinaryShift, yes, i have (i think) through hardware drivers menu. i have 2 machines, 1 with nvidia, other with ati. both having the same issue00:09

kitcheFFEMTcJ: envyng00:10
trinaryShiftsquiddy: Ok, I'm going to suggest that you use envy, simply because it's worked for me in the past. Give me a second to find the package name00:10
trinaryShiftFFEMTcJ: Hmm, hold on a sec00:10
kitche!envy00:11
ubottuenvyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!!  if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk00:11
hari_lwizardl, Unfortunately, the company I work for just set one up for a woman, but we ended up using windows, cause the windows program had very large colorful buttons, which was important, because the woman is going blind.00:11
trinaryShiftah ok00:11
squiddytrinaryShift, i used envy once, still won't work i out.00:11
trinaryShiftFFEMTcJ: Yeah, the name of the package is envyng. No hyphen :/00:11
__mikemgleyve, yes00:12
trinaryShiftsquiddy: What version of ubuntu and firefox are you using, by the way?00:12
squiddytrinaryShift, it's ubuntu 8.04.1 and FF 3.0.100:13

discombobulatedmy fstab has # /dev/sda3 commented and it's my root partition yet /dev/sda3 is really one of my windows partitions. wtf?01:33
SNuxollAzizLight: GTK themes are your widget themes (buttons, etc)01:33
GrenyarisIn gparted it has a warning about a bad superblock01:34
SNuxollAzizLight: Metacity themes are your window decorations, GDM themes are login screen themes01:34

discombobulateddoes anyone know wtf is going on with fstab? it's ridiculous01:34
GrenyarisI try the -b switch with no effect, just an error on the disk...01:35
dxdemetriouI don't know how to explain it.. I use: "sudo <command>", it shows the "#", it pressed an enter itself and I see another "#" on bottom01:35
unopdiscombobulated, puzzling. just how does the file change?01:35
AdrianStraysIf I extact an ISO to a partition, and boot from that partition, will it act in the same fashion it would as if it were burned to a disk?01:35
unopdxdemetriou, meaning. it's waiting for you to enter a password probably.01:35
=== LSD|Ninj1 is now known as LSD|Ninja
GrenyarisThe interesting part is, with ext2 or ext3 formatting, I can read and write to the disk without problem...01:36
Jordan_Udiscombobulated: The fstab uses UUID's rather that /dev/[hd,sd]x now, that comment is probably from a previous release that was changed when you upgraded01:36
Grenyarisany ideas on how to clear the error?01:36

dxdemetriouoh perfect.., I think is because of the fingerprint. if I swipe my finger it shows only one #. if I write the password it shows two #01:39
unoptolis, yes .. but if your windows partitions are detected by linux .. they can be mounted too01:39

qrSwan_: there's chatzilla, which is an IRC plugin for firefox.  Although there's no xchat plugin afaik.02:34

ussergandalfcome, seeing how it doesnt ask for administrative permissions while sharing i'd say somewhere in your home folder02:34

cwill747ASUS-tek: where does this application exist?03:17
danandldiamond - it would seem that your dns server on your router does not know about names and ip addresses of your machines. For a small network, adding an entry in /etc/hosts is perfectly acceptable ie 192.168.2.2 homepc-01 in /etc/hosts should allow you to ping 192.168.2.2 with the command ping homepc-0103:17

I need to expand the partition and filesystem (as I understand it, at least) but I need to unmount it first. When I try sudo umount /myfolder it says "device is busy". Is this a problem or can I just force it to unmount?03:24
usserldiamond, so just install it and modify your hosts line int /etc/nsswitch.conf to read something like this "'hosts:          files wins mdns4_minimal dns mdns4" just add wins after files03:24

nyu_ok, since I never used this chat before and don't know if there is any other way to ask, I will just ask my question into the channel: I wanted to install Ubuntu 8.04 on a friends notebook, unfortunately the CD drive is broken, so I chose an external one... but the boot menu doesn't detect it, so I can't boot from the CD. How do I install Ubuntu on the 10GB partition here as a dual boot to windows XP without the PC being able to boot from th04:36

New2LinuxI tried 4x bad burn still04:37
invisibleprisonWhen I use wine, it seems my dual cores are affecting screen redraw... does anyone know how to disable a core, or make a program only use one? I tried using schedtool, but then it asks for a DVD to run the game (which is in the tray)04:37
Dr_willisNew2Linux,  i normally use 'burn at once ' under windows to burn them.. also check the md5 sums to be sure the iso file is good.04:37
danbhfivenyu_: what can it boot from?04:37
pajamianamit: first thing I would do is try the restricted driver provided by ubuntu, only then, if that doesn't work, would I resort to ndiswrapper.04:37

carandrauglone-soldier: it's not an Ubuntu problem. It's a wubi thing. Wubi allows you to install Ubuntu without partitions and it seems that has problems with that. ALso, 8.10 will be released, as the name says, in October. That's the meaning of the number 8.10 (2008/10)05:02

Dr_willisunop,  mounting a allready mounted mountpoint is correct?05:19
unopDr_willis, he might be wanting to bind /media/340GBIATCH to another directory05:19

ShutterBCxomp: um... man, I don't use Linux everyday so I'm trying to remember too.  I think you should get a list of kernel choices at the GRUB menu (boot menu).  I forget if there's a hotkey to bring that menu up like in Windows.05:24
G3N0Dr_willis: im a linux nub, i wont know what to do05:24

carandraugHi everyone. This guy I know is installing Ubntu 8.04 and has some problem. It jjust dumps him in a iniramfs shell. The CD has been checked for defects, md5sum were checked, and the CD has been previously used to install Ubuntu with CD in other computers. He don't have a pastebin of it, only a picture http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2FyA-_qbnaM/SLDaBziSI-I/AAAAAAAAAC4/cKa-_lUuBwQ/s1600-h/DSC00003.jpg05:26
squidlyslammed87d21: so you downloaded the source? untar it, ./configure && make && make install05:26
xomphehe true, well thanks guys and good luck getting linux out there :) You defenitly got my attention for a while :)05:26
pajamiancarandraug: have you tried the alternate install CD?05:27
Dr_willisslammed87d21,  you will need to have the 'build-essential' package and perhaps otehr *-dev packages installed for that to compile properly05:27
tyg13Okay, I've been trying for a little while and I need someone who can answer my question about virtual desktops05:27
squidlyxomp: hiding the boot prompt is something I think that is a diservice. But its not my call with ubuntu (I can edit my menu.lst my self so that is not an issue for me)05:27
tyg13Its a problem, not just a question05:27
ShutterBCEh, well Windows hides the boot prompt, and with things like service packs you can sometimes not even go back.05:28
carandraugpajamian: I'm asking him. He's in this channel but doesn't know english and can't find support on the portuguese channel05:28
ShutterBCThen again there's an inhuman amount of testing that goes into Windows service packs... Canonical doesn't have that luxury.05:29
=== SNuxoll_ is now known as SNuxoll
Dr_willisi often wonder 'how' one goes about doing that testing...05:29
ShutterBCeh, I haven't done my part lately of logging bugs -- but AFAIK it's mostly "test what you're interested in" in the Linux world.05:30
carandraugpajamian: no, he hasn't tried it. But he already started the download some time ago and will soon try it. But do you have any idea of what can be wrong by looking at the error? It complains about modprobe. Also, the notebook is new05:30
pajamiancarandraug: not off the top of my head, no.  But the alternate install CD does work in a lot of instances where the live CD doesn't.  It's always the first thing I try.05:31
=== nenolod is now known as nenolod-
=== nenolod- is now known as nenolod
ShutterBCThen again I work with Windows kernel issues for a day job... there's some real hacky stuff going on with a lot of driver code I run across, and it has been "fully tested".05:31
carandraugpajamian: ok. He'll try it anyway and then he'll know. Also, he managed to install debian on it with no problem05:31
pajamiancarandraug: notebook being new could mean that there's new hardware in it that the live CD doesn't directly support yet.05:32
squidlyShutterBC: the whole os IMHO is hacked together05:32
Dr_willispa1-cheru,  you really should ask questions to the CHANNEL not msging specific users.05:32
carandraugpajamian: I see. Makes sense. Thanks a lot05:32
squidlyDr_willis: he did that to me too05:32
pajamiancarandraug: yw05:32
squidlyand I told him to ask in here05:32
Dr_willissquidly,  and perhaps some day he will figure it out. :)05:32
squidlyDr_willis: we can hope05:33
Dr_willisway too many 'man bra' spam messages in here over the last few months.. I got most priv msg's on ignore. :)05:33
ShutterBCthere are some smart people at that big company.  But complexity really makes it hard to do certain things.05:33
squidlylol05:33
squidlyShutterBC: very true05:33
definitelyHello, is there somehow i can give ROOT privilegies to text file to make this command work in conky "${execi 12 netstat -e -p -t | grep ESTABLISHED | cut -c45-68,80-86,102-140}" it asks for root to get all info05:33
squidlyalso it monoolithin seup doe snot help eithere05:34
ShutterBCMay you never ever have to try writing a bluetooth driver in Windows.05:34
squidlylol05:34
Dr_willisdefinitely,  you could set the 'suid'  bit on the the netstat command. But that could be considerd a security risk.05:34
definitelyDr_willis: Is any other way to make it work then ?05:35
Dr_willisdefinitely,  or you could alter the sudo configs to allow a user to run that one command as root without needing a password05:35
KennedyNoiapajamian thanks, and sorry for my bad english!05:35
pajamiandefinitely: I would alter the sudo configs so it can be run with sudo.05:35
ShutterBCjumpaholic: still around?  any further luck?05:35
definitelyWhere is sudo configs ?05:35
unopdefinitely, better to setup sudoers to allow this command to be run as root without need for a password05:35
Cocoabeanvisudo05:35
KennedyNoiapajamian i go try! and say after05:35
Dr_willisSudo has a LOT more features then just 'being the command you type to do rooty things'05:35

carandraugpajamian: he can read english ok but his english is not so good05:36
Dr_willisdefinitely,  you proberly would want to read/google for a few sudo tutorials/guides with examples of doing that. its a potential BIG security risk. and not somthing to be just typing in some commands someone tells you do do from irc.. :)05:36
pajamiancarandraug: yep, that makes sense.05:37

ubottufistandandelus: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?05:52

mattg08wers: go to your preferences05:56
corvettehey all05:56
Dr_willisnavjot,  no idea what ubunt-studio even is.. if its a ubuntu-variant. You proberly can add the proper repositories and isntall  any special packages it has..  I suggest sticking with the normal ubuntu, and installing what you need.05:56
wersmattg08, uhumm05:56
corvettehow do I configure my xorg.conf to allow for refresh rates of 10005:56
corvettewhich my monitor allows in windows XP05:56
HamledShutterBC, turns out if you just specify --filesystem=none it will map it without trying to mount05:57
mattg08wers: wait a sec, it should do it automatically05:58
corvetteIn WinXp I have no problems getting refresh rates of 10005:58

ShutterBCHamled: np06:00
ZlNGmy bad homie...06:00
mattg08wers: do a test from your evolution mail and send it to yourself and then check online in mozilla to see if it went thru06:00
ZlNG:)) i'm trying to type it how it sounds in my head06:01
tyg13Ahh06:01
ZlNGnot even sure if i pronounce it right06:01
Dr_williswhy would you want to make some other disrto site point to Ubuntu.. that is just in poor taste. :)06:01
tyg13its "oo boo nt oo"06:01
djhashZ|NG: this is a support channel by volunteers.. you'll probably need to talk directly to the developers of Ubuntu.06:01
ShutterBCZlNG: you're part of a dev team for an OS?  Or a web developer?06:02
Dr_willisWho/why would someone go to 'getWHATEVER.com' anyway :)06:02
GneaZlNG: unless you know what you're doing with the OS, I highly doubt that it'll happen06:02
ZlNGwell i own GetPCLinuxOS.com and i've done nothign but help get the distro out to the public and they go and ban my from the irc rooms just for helping some people out in the main room instead of support06:02
ZlNGi am part of the web dev team06:02
ShutterBCDr_willis: don't ask Mozilla that one :)06:02
danbhfivem_tadeu: maybe this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822108006R06:02
GneaZlNG: got some logs of that?06:02
djhashDr_willis: i got into linux with getdebian.. lol.. my friend pointed it to me..06:03
Dr_willisShutterBC,  i always though it was some spam-ad-rip off site .06:03
ShutterBC(try http://getfirefox.com)06:03
ZlNGit's been awhile i still get banned everytime i enter lol06:03
ShutterBCnah, it redirects straight over06:03
Dr_willis so i make it a point to never to to any 'get*' sites. Heh06:03
GneaZlNG: from what channels?06:03
ZlNGthe reason istarted the getpclinuxos project was if you go to www.PCLinuxOS.com you would thin it was nothing but a magazine site06:03

GneaZlNG: see, we're not worried about publicising, that's already taken care of, the way that we want it done06:04
Gnea!sound | aliciapg06:04
ubottualiciapg: 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 !MP306:04

crimsunaliciapg: please preface my nick if you're responding to me; it helps me filter who's addressing me, thanks.  Can you be more verbose than "get an error"?06:05
Dr_willisTheaxiom,  could try 'sudo /etc/init.d/alsa restart'06:05
VaSymy mic not detected what i have to do06:05
aliciapgcrimsun:06:05
ZlNGGnea i like the way Ubuntu has it's community but many people are gettign disappointed in PCLinuxOS aswell since the communtiy has almost died06:05
GneaTheaxiom: have you tried the kill command?06:06
ZlNGPCLinuxOS was the number 1 distro for a while and then bam! it jsut died06:06
m_tadeudanbhfive: looks nice :) thanks06:06
ZlNGon distrowatch^^06:06

Dr_willisYep.  #ubuntu-offtopic is the place for that chatter.06:06
thedlwI'm having a problem installing ubuntu.  I do not ever get past the cd install.  I get /bin/sh has been killed by segv.  I'm assuming i'd need some sort of boot paramter but using google or ubuntu forums hasn't turned up anything yet.06:06
ShutterBCHamled: you mean the "plausible deniability" volume?  Nah... besides, some cryptographers already published some research saying it was pretty easily detectable.06:06
aliciapgcrimsun: no vol control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found06:07
aliciapgthat error06:07
GneaTheaxiom: must be another child process that broke off06:07
HamledShutterBC, ok06:07
corvetteI think I figured it out06:07
corvetteI had to add something to xorg.conf06:07
corvettethanks06:07
danbhfivem_tadeu: it looks like most of the products you are looking for have a harddrive built in, but I think NAS is the keyword.  I suggest poking around newegg a bit, because the device I linked might suck06:07
HamledShutterBC, I figured I would try to make one to see how it is done, but again their documentation is pretty vague (they say create a volume within the mapped outer volume, but no idea how I would specify that :/)06:07

RabbitbunnySo.. I've got this *.jnlp file, it's supposed to be a Java interface. Any hints asto what I'm supposed to do with it? It wants to open in Firefox, but doing that just prompts me to save it again.06:31
ShutterBCcpx, what java runtime do you have?06:31
cpxShutterBC: How can I tell?06:31
cpxShutterBC: It's probably the latest, anyways.06:31
liginmathewhi06:31
HamledShutterBC, one last question... I can get the filesystem to mount, but even though it's rw, I can't write to it. Changing the permissions with chmod doesn't seem to help, and I tried specifying the group option to mount06:31
ShutterBCcpx: java -v06:32
crimsunaliciapg: "tried"?  How did it fail to save the file to your desktop?06:32
liginmathewplease help me06:32
aliciapgcrimsun: that's what i was wondering!06:32
ShutterBCor... in Firefox browse to about:plugins06:32
cpxShutterBC: Unrecognized option: -v06:32
cpxCould not create the Java virtual machine.06:32
kristerjunop: lemme check06:32
ShutterBCer, I'm losing it.  java -version06:32
cpxShutterBC: Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0-b10506:32
PauloRicardoWhy 'mkdir foo && chmod 0000 foo' when executed as root make directory undeletable and 'echo foo > foo && chmod 0000 foo' don't make file undeletable?06:33
bastid_raZorcrimsun; aliciapg wget may work better?06:33
phuzionI'm having trouble viewing anything in Flash in Firefox 3  Nothing shows up where flash content should.  I think I need to reinstall the flash plugin for firefox, how would I do that?06:33
ShutterBCcpx: OK, so that's the Sun Java plugin.  Um... hm.  Hey, I just realized I don't know how to get crash analysis in Linux :)06:33
cpxShutterBC: That's cool. Thanks anyways.06:34
pjwaffleSame problem flash doesnt work here either06:34
Npwhy my Xchat-gnome no sound ?06:34
cpxSo anyone else know why firefox crashes whenever a page uses Java?06:34
ShutterBCcpx: anyway, check /var/log/messages for any errors06:34
crimsunbastid_raZor: the first command I gave her used wget06:34
ShutterBCcpx: and this sounds like something that could happen to any number of people -- Java + Firefox is pretty popular, after all.  Anything in ubuntuforums on this?06:35
kristerjunop: you were right...src repo wasnt enabled...its installing the dependencies now06:35
cpxShutterBC: Seems whenever ff crashes, this appears:06:35
bastid_raZorcrimsun; ahh, i jumped in late.06:35

cpxA... what?06:35
thedlwShutterBC: i was flipping windows and it looks like the mem test finished and rebooted.  If it had an error would it have halted?06:35
pjwaffleWhat is the ubuntu development IRC (if there is one?)06:35
ShutterBCa no-op.  basically, nothing.06:36
cpxOh.06:36
unopPauloRicardo, in the second case - who runs the command, root or the user?06:36
ShutterBCthedlw: yeah, so looks like your memory is good.  how about the media check?06:36
thedlwi'll do that in a sec06:36
thedlwi have to wait for it crash first06:36
thedlwbefore i can reboot06:36
PauloRicardounop: Both executed as root. ;)06:37
ShutterBCthedlw: yeah, no prob.  sorry, I know those tests take a while.  and ya know, I'm kind of at a loss if the media check doesn't uncover anything.06:37

lovinglinuxIf I use GParted to delete the Windows partition (which is on another disc) it will still be listed on Grub right?07:29
pajamianlovinglinux: yeah, it's not a big deal because they're already supposedly installed, so the chances of you needing one again is minimal and if you do apt will just download it again for you.07:29
lovinglinuxpajamian:  nice, thanks07:29
wtfunkthis is so annoying im about to rm ubuntu and install a dif. distro - linux was made from a command line and i cant get to a friggin real console?07:29
pajamianlovinglinux: yes, it will still be in grub.  You will want to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove it.07:29

pajamianlovinglinux: I don't know.07:30
Omoikane{stinger} Oh, that's a spellchecker. I need a grammar checker.07:31
lovinglinuxpajamian: should I delete the partition first and the edit the grub or otherwise?07:31
pajamianwtfunk: well that's how you get to the console in ubuntu, or most linux distros for that matter.07:31
pajamianlovinglinux: doesn't really matter.07:31
wtfunki know that. thats why its so annoying07:32

kristerjlars_ : how did you install the jdk?07:34
wtfunkpajamian: i have googled ctrl alt f-1 over and over trying to find a fix on the ubuntu forums or _anywhere_ years ago i ran freebsd / redhat many distros and i could always exit x-windows when i got too annoyed with the graphics., linux is a command line OS with a windows GUI If you so chooze [ x-windows ] but with ubuntu i have no choice but to be in KDE Or gnome it seems.,, im tired of graphics ;[ i want my black screen with text heh07:34
pajamianlovinglinux: it simply cleared out the cache of the package files.  the packages are still installed so it has nothing that it needs to download unless you try to re-install one of those packages.07:34
pajamianwtfunk: I think you can uninstall the GUI if you want.07:35
bazhangwtfunk, then use the minimal installer and only choose non xserver stuff07:35
bazhang!minimal | wtfunk07:35
ubottuwtfunk: 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/MinimalCD07:35

Kildehi.  I'm having trouble with one of my external drives.  every now and then it magically disconnects and reconnects.  However after it reconnects all the permissions are messed up.  I tried restarting my pc, it didn't help, and now I can't write anything to it.  it is formatted in fat32.  any help would be appreciated.  thanks in advance.07:41
lars_kristerj, no JDK in there07:41
pajamianwtfunk: you use the sysv-rc-conf program to turn the gdm service off (or you can manually rename the symbolic links yourself)  You have to install the sysv-rc-conf package before you can use it.07:41
GneaRifleEyes: ah - are you sure you're going to be able to resize? or are you replacing vista?07:41

zcat[1]weirdness. for the last few months, I've noticed that my USB mouse won't work unless I plug it in before powering up the laptop, and I know it should. Finally today I found my old USB PC-card adapter, and when I plug the mouse into that it works just fine.. but...07:48
kristerjlars_ : does that make sense? you can try using that classpath just one time by using the -classpath flag with javac, or you can set it permanently in that environment file07:49
lars_kristerj, one sec...this is all new to me so I might need to play around for a minute07:49
zcat[1]here's where it gets weird. Now I've unplugged that card, and rebooted, and NOW when I plug the mouse into the inbuilt usb plug it works!!07:49
GneaRifleEyes: the partition types - you said one of them is fat32 (why fat32 instead of ntfs?!) - but linux can't install on an f or a c, only an 83 (sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda to see the partition types currently in use)07:50
lovinglinuxGnea: the result...http://pastie.org/258844.txt07:50
RifleEyesGnea: fat32 for a common drive between the 3 systems07:50
lars_kristerj, doesn't seem to be working...I'm thinking I can just delete all my Java stuff that I have and reinstall with apt-get07:51
GneaRifleEyes: i would use ntfs, since ubuntu can do full read/write support with it, but that's fine07:51

GneaRifleEyes: okay, i would retry the livecd, and check out all of the options available - manual should get you on the right path, and since the 2 partitions haven't been formatted yet, it's seeing it as 'unallocated', so as long as the amount of disk space adds up correctly, you should be fine to use it07:56

rtz3673ahboi: i don't have older alternate cds here, so i can't check how that section would look like09:03
ahboiI will see if i can pull something up with google hopefully i can find something09:04
ahboii was at this for about 6hrs :P09:04
Hamleddoes NFS have a log file somewhere?09:04
Hamlednfsd rather, from the nfs-kernel-server package09:04
rtz3673ahboi: maybe they removed the cli section and you can later choose which system to install09:05
dorangehey all09:05
dorangecan any one help me?09:05
Dr_willisHamled,  most services can log to /var/log, and the level of logging is normally setable09:05
hischildrtz3673, what part do you wish to see? i've got a few around here09:05
dorangeit there any ubuntu user who may help me?09:05
HamledDr_willis, the first place I checked09:05

ubottuA 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?09:05
ahboirtz3673 i thought so too but its not the case09:05
dorangei need to install ubuntu on a thumbdrive09:05
rtz3673hischild: actually it is for ahboi. he wants to install command line only system with the alternate cd09:05
hischildrtz3673, hmm mkay.09:06
alittlerare there any good fixes for flash audio?09:06
hischildahboi, what part of what file did you wish to see? i've got some alternate cd's.09:06
ahboii already installed it by pressing enter and its the usual 8.04 Desktop install09:06
rtz3673ahboi: i guess it requires specifying a different *.seed file, but i am not sure09:06
ahboihischild menu label cli inside isolinux.cfg09:06
hischildahboi, CLI is only on the alternate CD's, not on the desktop ones.09:06
ahboihischild i have alternate 8.0409:07
ahboi:)09:07
Dr_willisHamled,  check the nfs server docs and enable more logging  would be the next step09:07
dorangeahboi maybe you know?09:07
ahboibut my isolinux.cfg file lacks the menu option09:07
hischildahboi, same here, yet i've installed a cli from it09:07

cool_penguinoops, sorry. If anybody is using Ubuntu 8.04.1, have you guys seen the system updating itself for the past 1 week>??09:13
ahboihischild i think the isotostick modified the syslinux.cfg im looking right now09:14
cool_penguinMy system has not shown me any updates for the past week or 10 days09:14
l3dI added the  command Avant Window Navigator to the session list so this will start avant every time on boot right?09:14
dorangeso i just burn ubuntu to a livecd, and folow the instraction from that site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick?09:14
cool_penguinWhen I check for updates manually, it says no updates found09:14
cool_penguinwhich leads me to think if i screwed up in some way09:15
_coredump_hmm my debian lenny does update every day, hardy is based on lenny so it should have updates too09:15
cool_penguinno dude. I have been checking manually for the past 10 days09:15
cool_penguinand no updates to be seen09:15
_coredump_cool_penguin, apt-get update, apt-get upgrade wont update anything?09:15

cool_penguinI know that in the case of Edgy, the update manager was once broken09:20
ompauldorange,  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD/Persistence   - I guess if you do both of those ...09:20

cabrioleurcool_penguin, it moved a copy of default list from a doc directory to a place where apt can use it. It replaced your old one.09:31

davetarmacmorning all. Has anyone successfully managed to connect their Ubuntu box (i'm on Hardy) to a mac running 10.4 server via vnc (or alike) application?09:36
_coredump_rtz3673, true, but for something trivial like a sources.list this page should be fine09:36
cabrioleurMilanoCollection, check what version is required.09:36
rtz3673_coredump_: yeah. a pity that source-o-matic is gone.09:36
_coredump_artiisan, so your second hdd has one ntfs partition sdb109:36
cabrioleurdavetarmac, with no problems whatsoever.09:37
lovinglinuxhischild: ok, I formated the Windows disk into a new ext3 primary partition. The disk is showing as mounted under /media but I don't have writing privilege.09:37
_coredump_artiisan, simply mount it by sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/09:37
davetarmaccabrioleur: mind if I ask how you did it - software/settings?09:37
davetarmaccabrioleur: by the way - I'm on a VPN connection to the network09:38
hischildlovinglinux, you have to chown the drive. shall we let it mount at the right location first every time you boot?09:38
cabrioleurdavetarmac, realvnc on linux side, and chicken on mac.09:38
scream_sayonarahi, i've just bought a new laptop and installed the latest ubuntu inside windows, but when i boot into ubuntu i cant get on the internet, my unsecured wireless network doesnt show up, i dont know what to do09:39
davetarmaccabrioleur: can it not be done through the default screen sharing on the 10.4 server?09:39
mars_scream_sayonara: well u need to make your windows the default gateway09:39
_coredump_davetarmac, you tried forwarding X through ssh with ssh -X ?09:39
lars_anybody else able to help me find and set the correct classpath so I can use API classes in java?09:40
lovinglinuxhischild: sorry, English is not my first language. What you mean with chown?09:40
artiisan_coredump_:http://paste.ubuntu.com/40112/09:40
mars_where is the ruby core documentation located in ubuntu?09:40
cabrioleurdavetarmac, sure it can. Personal preference. It's the same protocol, so it does not metter which one you are using.09:40
scream_sayonarawell ok, but essentially if i can get it working inside windows, i want to think about just tsaking windows off altogether09:40
Jomyoot_Does ubuntu server allow remote upgrade?09:40
ahboithis is great from what i have found, Everyone has the same file structure as mine. Now im completely lost.09:40
davetarmac_coredump_: I haven't yet, no09:40
scream_sayonarahow do you make windows the default gatewy09:40
cool_penguincabrioleur & coredump. You guys rock !!!!09:40
mars_scream_sayonara: ? did you use vmware or any virtualisation?09:40
Jomyoot_Can you REMOTE UPGRADe a ubuntu system?09:40
cool_penguinI used the file from _coredump and now I am able to see 26 updates available09:41
cabrioleurthank you, cool_penguin09:41
scream_sayonarano i havent done anything, when i got ubuntu on my desktop, the connection just worked09:41
_coredump_artiisan, your ntfs drive had an unclean state, you have to do sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb1 before you can mount it09:41
scream_sayonaraso i thought it would be the same on my laptop09:41
mars_scream_sayonara: wait... so you installed ubuntu normally?09:41
_coredump_artiisan, be sure you have ntfsprogs installed09:41
cool_penguini have one last question. Why was the new file from coredumb better than what I had initially?09:41
hischildlovinglinux, it's a command. If you execute this command ==> sudo chown <user>:<user> /media/<disk name> it'll be read an writeable for your user. However, it may be useful to first make sure the drive mounts at the wanted location. You meantioned something about /backup or a folder in /home ?09:42
scream_sayonarais there a way to check if the wireless drivers are installed?09:42
lovinglinuxhischild: nevermind I found is chmod09:42
mars_scream_sayonara: then forget about default gateway09:42
scream_sayonarawell i installed it *inside vista09:42
lovinglinuxhischild: nevermind I found the meaning "chmod"09:42
mars_scream_sayonara: well then you have virtualisation09:42
cabrioleurcool_penguin, it had more repositories in it (more servers to fetch software from, more software in general).09:42
lovinglinuxoops, double post09:42
scream_sayonarawhats that mean09:42
hischildlovinglinux, no, that's the wrong command. I really  meant chown. chmod changes permissions on the file, where chown changes the owner09:42
artiisan_coredump_: It didn't find that command. Let me have a read of a few docs and see if I can get it working, if not, I hope I can help some further help later? Thanks in advance09:42
cool_penguinis backport repository harmful for the system?09:43
mars_scream_sayonara: that a host os (vista) embedds your os (ubuntu)09:43
_coredump_artiisan, be sure you have ntfsprogs installed09:43
lovinglinuxhischild: I need something like sudo chmod /home/media/disk1...09:43
cabrioleurcool_penguin, might be. It's not harmful, but you can expect more bugs than standard repositories.09:43
hischildlovinglinux, what's ur username?09:43
lovinglinuxhischild: caio09:43
mars_scream_sayonara: most likely with vmware or vitualbox09:43
davetarmacwell I can SSH in no problem, but the -X atribute didn't seem to work09:43
cool_penguinoh then I should disable backports for a stable system right?09:43
artiisan_coredump_ : will do.09:44
hischildlovinglinux, then the command would be --> sudo chown caio:caio /media/disk1 -R09:44
mars_scream_sayonara: or did you just install them both on the same laptop? that would mean you have dual boot.09:44
cabrioleurcool_penguin, in exchange you have newer software with more whistles etc. You can, if you want to.09:44
lovinglinuxhischild: you are the knig :-)09:44

Seveascabrioleur, vinagre? xvncviewer?09:54

mikeleHi, I would mount partition sda1, I write "sudo mount /dev/sda1" but appear this output "don't find in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab"!! Why?09:56
cabrioleurdavetarmac, sorry, Seveas gave you answers.09:57
lars_Seveas, I'll need a more detailed description, I'm pretty new09:57
Seveasmikele, you need to either add it to /etc/fstab or tell mount where you want /dev/sda1 to be mounted09:57
Seveaslars_, ok, open etc environment in an editor as root: gksudo gedit /etc/environment09:57
davetarmaccabrioleur, Seveas: just tried xvncviewer and I get the 'No mathcing security types' message still09:58
rabimikele: you need to provide mount point.09:58
davetarmacvinagre just told me that the connection was closed09:58
Seveaslars_, and add a line at the end of that file that says: CLASSPATH="/home/lars/java"09:58
Seveasreplacing /home/lars/java with the correct path of course09:58
rabimikele: make a dir: sudo mkdir /media/sdaone/09:58
mikeleok...mmm... sudo mount /dev/sda1 /home09:58
mikeleok...09:58
Seveasmikele, now that is a BAD idea09:58
rabimikele: you can't mount into home.09:59
lars_Seveas...but how far do I go with the path? Where do I find out exactly what I'd type for the classpath?09:59
mikeleokok sorry09:59
rabikikele: make a new directory.09:59
Seveasrabi, well, you can. But it'll bring nothing but trouble if you do it this way ;)09:59
mikeleok sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sdaone09:59

_coredump_MrNaz`, deinstall the old kernel packages or remove the entries from your /boot/grub/menu.lst10:01
Seveaslars_, ok, you're going at this problem completely wrong. There's no need to manually install java10:01
aLeSDdo u know how could I figure out the address of my sound cards ?  (ex. hw:0)10:01

_coredump_Mr_Shark, dunno i use dpkg for it10:02
_coredump_on cli10:02
Seveaslars_, it doesn't matter where apt-get puts it. You can simply use it.10:02
MrNaz`_coredump_ well how do you do it?10:02
Seveaslars_, what is the original problem you're trying to solve? Is java misbehaving on your pc?10:02
_coredump_MrNaz`, dpkg -l | grep -i linux shows you all installed kernel packages10:02
mikelerabi: what line i must add?10:03
_coredump_MrNaz`, then you can simply apt-get remove them10:03
lars_Seveas, I try to call import.util.Scanner and when I compile it won't call it10:03
MrNaz`aah10:03
Seveas_coredump_, dpkg -l 'linux*' | grep ^ii10:03

davetarmac_coredump_: I have connected to the server using the -X attribute as you recommended, is it possible for me to get in to the System Preferences dialog box?10:06
rabimikele: first make unique directory to mount each partition. eg. /media/sdaone, /media/sdatwo etc.10:06
scream_sayonarawhen you download a package, what sort of file is it supposed to be10:06
Seveaslars_, can you please run this command and give me the output: dpkg -l '*openjdk*' '*icedtea*' '*gcj*'10:07
_coredump_davetarmac, dunno the command to pop this dialog up, but does the X forwarding work in general? try starting an xterm or something first.10:07
Dr_willisscream_sayonara,  normally debian '.deb' packages  - but its best to let the package manager tools handle all the downloading10:07

Dr_willishcMyth,  you may want to use the blocksize option to speed things up :)10:08
_coredump_davetarmac, simply start an X application, if X frwarding works it pops up on your local machine10:08
hcMyththanks10:08
rabimekele: follow this tutorial.10:08
Dr_willishcMyth,  copying the files to a directory will also work10:08

Dr_willisscream_sayonara,  yep. its a catch-22 situation.  I dont use wireless only.. so i dont heve that issue. The ubuntu ftp sites may be the best place to get the packages.10:11
Seveasscream_sayonara, what are you missing?10:11
hcMythSeveas: How bad is it without setting the blocksize.. wouldnt it automatically detect the blocksize of the disk?10:11

KoRsYHi, is there a thing such as native widgets/controls for Ubuntu that I can use to port win32 applications to it?10:25
hwilde_!wine | KoRsY10:25
ubottuKoRsY: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.10:25
SeveasKoRsY, libwine should help10:25
Zubairthanks wols_10:25
wols_KoRsY: not really. how would "native widgets" help for windows widgets?10:26
SeveasKoRsY, but if you want to really port it (no windows api but a linux one), use gtk+ or Qt10:26
Fargh_hwilde_ I get that with 3 apps.  xchat is one of them10:26
SeveasKoRsY, or use wxwidgets, which allows you to use the same api on windows and linux10:26
wols_hwilde_: while libwine works it's universally despised10:26
wols_Seveas: so does gtk and Qt...10:26
KoRsYSeveas, I can not write GUI apps without using either GTK+ or Qt?10:27
Seveaswols_, wxwidgets is still better at that10:27
wersi have no more space for my root partition. i didnt expect that i'll be able to fill 10gb for that. what would you recommend for me to do? i already did apt-get clean10:27

wols_KoRsY: you can use Xt the Xtoolkit but you really don't want to10:27
mikele/dev/sda1       /media/WinVistasda1      ntfs-3g     defaults 0 0 ok?10:27
Dr_williswers,  you got space somewhere else?10:27

ubottumikele: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions10:27
SeveasKoRsY, you can use wxwidgets, which wraps windows and linux api's, you can use the athena toolkit or tk, or raw xlib... gtk and qt are the prefered ones on linux though10:27
hwilde_wols_, he asked its not my fault :/10:28
wersDr_willis, i got (little) space left in my home partition10:28
KoRsYso, there's no (native) API, I must use GTK+/Qt/wxWindows10:28

Dr_williswers,  well you could do some linking and move stuff to /home/SOMTHING but if you are full everywhere.. time to clean house.. or get a bigger hd.10:28

rabimikele: just add ntfs no ntfs-3g10:29
wols_ahboi: I didn't set that line and I didn't give that line to anyone. you bark at the wrong tree10:29
SeveasKoRsY, what do you mean with "native"? gtk/qt is about as native as it gets unless you want your app to look like it was built in the 80's10:29
mikelerabi: ok10:29
wols_KoRsY: under *nix, "native" has not really any meaning10:29
rabimikele: it ntfs-3g is seperate package that enables read/write support to ntfs.10:30
wols_mikele: only if you never want to write to your ntfs partition from linux10:30
KoRsYwols_, so, GTK/Qt calls those APIs?10:30
ahboiwols, i didnt mean to come off wrong if thats what you thought. Just saying that the line given to me was incorrect. Thats all :)10:30
wols_Qt and gtk call X intrinsics10:30
KoRsYmy question is, what those libraries (GTK+, Qt,etc..) calls?10:30
rtz3673rabi: ntfs-3g is installed by default in ubuntu hardy10:30

wols_mikele: will not work. ever. "ntfs" cannot write to ntfs partitions. never will. you must use ntfs3g for read/write access10:54
luckyhellOK, rezize them sound logically. It is to be done in gimp, right?10:54
anujsinghone of my friend updated his ubuntu, and after reboot he is getting wait (a clock) only,10:54

master_alvaro_is it possible to have worked WiFi PCI card (atheros) in  "802.11n draft" mode? does madwifi support it? or only (ath5k or ath9k) has support  "802.11n draft" mode?10:55
wols_mikele: ath9k only10:55
luckyhellOK, thank you. It's easy here... :)10:55
wols_master_alvaro_: ^^10:55
anujsinghhwlde_: but a upgrade should not change passed kernel parameters, before upgrade his laptop was working fine,10:55
hwilde_master_alvaro, http://madwifi.org/ticket/100110:56
master_alvaro_wols_: does ath9k has support for AP (Access Point) mode?10:56
hwilde_anujsingh, if you use kopt in menu.lst it will work right... if you add to kernel line manually it will not work right10:56
wols_master_alvaro_: no clue. it'S very early in dev and not usable in ubuntu10:56
anujsinghi asked him for /var/log/messages, X* and gdm* files.10:56
rebel_kidis there a ubuntu program for internet based remote access?10:56
wols_rebel_kid: lots. vino , vnc, etc10:57
hwilde_anujsingh, menu.lst for real.  disable acpi.  put it in kopt wont lose it next kernel update.10:57
hwilde_rebel_kid, ssh.10:57
rebel_kidwols: u r a wealth of information, any simpler than others10:57
rtz3673master_alvaro_: the mac80211 wireless stack does not have AP support yet, so ath*k (which uses the stack) neither10:57
master_alvaro_wols_: is 802.11n draft compatible back with b/g modes? can i use PC in n mode and laptop in g mode?10:58
master_alvaro_rtz3673: ok, thx10:58
anujsinghhwilde_: can we pass 'disable acpi' at the boot time, on rhel i press e at the grub screen and can pass the parameters? same thing with ubuntu?10:58
wols_anujsingh: yes you can. but the parameter is not "disable acpi"10:58
rtz3673anujsingh: acpi=off10:59
anujsinghok, just a moment.10:59
wols_master_alvaro_: dunno, but it is all moot. ubuntu has no usable support for n10:59
hwilde_anujsingh, yes press e.  then edit your menu.lst and put it in kopt10:59
master_alvaro_wols_: ok, i use debian10:59

Dr_willisYou may want to check the wine app database and see if any tweeks are needed for diablo211:08
Oli``l3d: run it in a virtual desktop11:09
Oli``l3d: wine explorer /desktop=Diablo2,1880x1100 "C:\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe"11:09
rebel_kidl3d: wine doesnt work to well on games, they might have a tweak or something but u might be better off with full virtualization, i used to do it but i forgot what program i used, it was one that could run anything from mac to bsd to win, hmm ask somebody i forgot :)11:09
Oli``l3d: but change the resolution of the desktop to something your screens can handle, obviously11:09
Dr_willisegads.. can diablo 2 evenhandle that high of res? :)11:09
Oli``Dr_willis: no - but that's just what I use for all Wine desktop apps. It resizes to what Diablo's res is when it launches11:11

Dr_willisKoRsY,  Linux dosent ahve to have a window. :) X runs on Linux, X has the windows and widgets and stuff.. and has dozens of 'tools' for every job you can imagine.11:29
Dr_willisKoRsY,  Linux is all about 'Layers and legos' :) little bits going together to make more layers.. and layers on top of that.11:30
KoRsYDr_willis, so, I've to use a GUI toolkit (Qt/GTK/wxWindows) to create GUI apps, and it displays it they way it want, right?11:30
=== usuario is now known as wicope
Dr_willisKoRsY,  it depends. You could always use some low level toolkit.  i imagine . but it all depends on what you are really wanting to do exactly.11:30

ikoniaanujsingh: thats not valid12:05
anujsinghhttp://pastebin.com/dfa0e44612:05
ikoniaanujsingh: that boot line is nothing to do with ubuntu12:06
anujsinghikonia: /boot/grub/menu.lst file http://pastebin.com/dfa0e44612:06
toreand run grub-install on the disc12:06
ikoniaanujsingh: what you are pasting to me in the channel, is nothing like what's in that pastebin12:06
anujsinghohhk12:07
gauravcan anyone tell me how to access local network computers12:07
ikoniaanujsingh: the boot line in the pastebin looks fine12:07
anujsinghso i want to edit that pastebin file. want to change parameters passed to ketnel at boot time.12:07
ikoniaanujsingh: what makes you think you need to change the parameters ?12:07
ikoniaanujsingh: his desktop is not loading, the kernel is still booting fine, so why do you feel you need to change the boot options12:08
anujsinghsomeone here, earlier told me to change those parameters.12:08
ikoniaanujsingh: I'd look at why your not getting the desktop rather than random kernel parameter12:08
anujsinghyes ikonia: which other logs can help?12:09
ikoniaanujsingh: the syslog, the Xlog, the GDM log12:09
ikoniaanujsingh: what video card does he have ?12:09
anujsinghikonia: his laptop was working fine before upgrade, i am asking for all those logs.12:10
ikoniaanujsingh: exactly, his laptop was working fine before the upgrade, so the changes are the kernel boot options are fine12:10
anujsinghyes? should i ask him to change menu.lst? as i asked earlier?12:11
geek_hmm12:11
ikoniaanujsingh: why ?12:11
ikoniaanujsingh: are you listening ?12:11

* geek_ seems to recall a similar issue mentioned on his (former) lug list12:11
ikoniaanujsingh: I've just said the kernel boot lines are probably fine, and you keep saying you want to change the boot options to add boot options12:11

Knight709I'm using fdisk etc, but when I get to make a permission it wants the extension type, the thing is it only lets me input numbers13:41
Knight709I cant put in fat32 etc13:41
geek_dorothy_gale: get qemu manager- its a nice front end for qemu- the command line options are a minor pain13:41
hwilde_gaurav, you can ping the machines, and one is running samba share right?13:41
ParoXoNso here's what has to happen: when the machine boots, it's going to look to your PATA drive, grab the bootloader off it and parse fstab to give youa lovely grub menu13:41
gauravno sir13:41
dorothy_galehwilde, thanks for your suggestion but that is not how I want to do it13:41
hwilde_dorothy_gale, you are asking the wrong questions then.  qemu is an ubuntu prog that will let you emulate win9813:42
bob___How do you move a running process into a SCREEN session?13:42
gauravdear hwilde i install linux and rest all are having the win and i am not able to connect the windows machine13:42
ParoXoNdurino13: you have to copy the contents of that boot folder (and indeed, the rest of the contents of the pata drive) onto the sata drive13:42
dorothy_galeso if anyone else has run xubuntu with qemu please tell me how it went13:42
hwilde_dorothy_gale, what you need is vmware for win98, to emulate ubuntu13:42
_coredump_Knight709, try cfdisk its a lot easier to handle than fdisk13:42
dorothy_galeqemu runs on windows13:42
Knight709okay thanks13:42
hwilde_!samba > gaurav13:42
ubottugaurav, please see my private message13:42
dVswell that didnt work ..13:42
dorothy_galehwilde as in damn small linux emmbeded13:43
ParoXoNdurino13: then modify the fstab on the sata drive to make sure that root is in th right place (probably /dev/sda1)13:43
dVsi am getting error 21 in grub ..13:43
geek_hwilde_: i don't think vmware runs on win9813:43
durino13ParoXoN: you say 'when the machine boots, it's going to look to your PATA drive' .. is this because of the 'PATA' first partition is marked as 'boot'?13:43
ParoXoNdurino13: once that's done (and if you've copied all the files from the pata drive to the sata one) you can gank the pata drive, tell the OS to boot from the SATA drive and all should go well13:43
hwilde_dorothy_gale, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/18/run-a-live-linux-cd-from-within-windows/#more-23213:44
ParoXoNdurino13: that's correct13:44

Knight709is there a more lax channel on this server to just chat? for non support purposes13:44

ParoXoNdurino13: when all's said and done with your sata drive, it should have a similar parition scheme to your pata drive, a complete copy of the root file system of the pata drive, and grub installed to the mbr of the sata drive13:45
rivaquit13:45

hwilde_anujsingh, ctrl+Alt+f1   can you login there?  no?  then your passwd is wrong reset it13:46
hwilde_wathek, that's like a netboot13:46

durino13ParoXoN: this is done usually during the normal OS install ..13:46
durino13ParoXoN: can i do it manually?13:47
ParoXoNdurino13: there are a couple of ways to do this, but it would probably be easiest to just install grub manually13:47

Cocoabeanwathek is your NFS share setup though13:54
erUSULhischild: lshw -C Network13:54
durino13ParoXoN: i want also change my partitions .. they will not be completelly the same on PATA and SATA, but this is something i will handle using /etc/fstab13:54
hischilderUSUL, ty13:54
ParoXoNdurino13: ok, first off, unmount all the partitions on the sata drive (hdg apparently). then run fdisk /dev/hdg and press p<enter> and then a<enter> then enter the partition number that has the /boot folder on it13:54
wathekCocoabean, ok gonna configure the nfs server now13:55
durino13ParoXoN: my concern is now the bootloader13:55
ParoXoNdurino13: no problem, that's what we're covering now :)13:55
hischilderUSUL, says i should run it as root, correct?13:55
ParoXoNdurino13: we just have to be kinda hasty because I have to run to work; regettably this is /far/ more interesting than my job T.T13:55
erUSULhischild: it gives the answer even as normal user on the configurartion line driver=whatever13:55
durino13ParoXoN: well .. you can follow ..13:56
hischilderUSUL, lovely. Thank you13:56
durino13ParoXoN: just give me hints .. i will try to follow them later13:56
anujsinghin ubuntu, network service from the cmdline, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart?13:56
erUSULhischild: no problem13:56
ParoXoNdurino13: ok, first set the active partiion using fdisk (make the parition that has your /boot folder on it active)13:56
hischilderUSUL, may i also ask you what file holds the blacklisted drivers?13:57
ParoXoNdurino13: once that's done, run sudo grub-install /dev/hdg13:57
hischild*modules13:57
ParoXoNdurino13: lastly, edit fstab on the sata drive to your liking13:57
ParoXoNdurino13: once that's done, power off the machine, unhook the pata drive, and then restart the machine booting from the sata drive; all should go well, if not, hook the pata drive back up and try again ^.^;;13:58
durino13ParoXoN: perfect .. i question13:58
ParoXoNyes?13:58
durino13ParoXoN: what about menu.lst from my PATA drive?13:58
ParoXoNmenu.lst resides in /boot/grub13:58
Buddy_Israel`net13:59
ParoXoNit shouldn't have to be changed13:59
ParoXoNer13:59
ParoXoN1 sec13:59
ParoXoNdurino13: ok, it will have to be changed13:59
durino13ParoXoN: ok, does this mean, if i install grub on my SATA, that it will automatically use stuff in the /boot folder?13:59
ParoXoNdurino13: yes, if that parition is marked 'active'14:00
ParoXoNdurino13: 'that' partition being the one with /boot folder in it14:00
vadimhi. Can anybody advise me a good book to learn linux basics (i don't speak about graphical interface)?14:00
durino13ParoXoN: so what exaclty do i have to do with 'menu.lst'? just overwrite it with the old one from PATA and that's it?14:00
fourveeshi vadim try www.tldp.org14:01
Cocoabeanvadim: there is TONS of linux documentation online in various places14:01
ParoXoNdurino13: you WILL have to change menu.lst's entries though, since it will say to use the UUID of the old pata drive as the root partition14:01
vadim<Cocoabean>:well i need smth not online14:01
ParoXoNdurino13: your current menu.lst will have a linet hat says 'kernel [some stuff] root=UUID=[somehexnumbers]'14:02
durino13ParoXoN: that's correct14:02
vadimwhat i really need is to learn how to make ubuntu packages from source files i got14:03
ParoXoNdurino13: you'll have to change that to root=/dev/hdx# where x# specifies the drive and partition of your root filesystem14:03
ParoXoNor, if you know the UUID of the sata drive, use that14:03
Cocoabeanvadim are you trying to compile and install them, or do you just want to make .deb packages14:03
durino13ParoXoN: perfect14:03

stryd_onehi all.... I have two questions about networking with a windows machine. I hope you can help. I want to share a dir on my ubuntu box to make it available to windows clients. When I right-clicked a folder and chose Sharing Options, then ticked Share this folder, it asked if I wanted to install the Windows network sharing service. It's great that it is automated, but I'd like to script it... So, question 1: Anyone know wha15:47

stryd_oneby "i want to script it" i mean, i'd like to enable the sharing of a folder by running commands in a bash shell script15:49

BVBBQPriceChild, i can only see a small section of my monitor, the rest is black, and wouldnt i need sudo priveleges to rename a protected system file?19:32
floppyearsfirefly2442: is there something that allows me to burn back to a blank dvd ?19:32
firefly2442floppyears: if you right click on the DVD and create an .iso you can then copy it to a DVD19:32
TwoDDoonz, I just remembered I had a problem with an earlier version of Ubuntu which might be related. I have 1 IDE and 4 SATA drives. I installed Ubuntu to the 1st SATA drive, which also had Windows, but the MBR was written to the IDE disk, causing it to not be found at boot. If I set it to boot from the IDE, boot would fail as there wasn't actually any OS on that disk. Had to reinstall GRUB/Ubuntu with only the SATA disk and put the others back in later.19:32

JackDethHi gang.20:58
jerkfacei can't be bothered with that20:59
knifeSorlag: yep, compiz interfering with the direct rendering layer20:59
Sorlagknife any solutions?20:59
JackDethI have been trying to get a new laptop configured for my wife using Ubuntu as the primary OS with WinXP as a secondary OS in VMware. After weeks of arguments and trials I cannot get audio working in Ubuntu or on the virtual machine. I also cannot maintain a stable Samba connection to the network.21:00
guntbertSorlag: mine was: I turned off the visual effects21:00
JackDethI have thought about reinstalling everything as a dual boot system. Any opinions or ideas on how I can do this cleanly and get everything working?21:01
ThersiTI've just started getting into linux and tried out a bunch of distros (including ubuntu) but finaly ended up with fedora..21:01
ThersiTBut as I get into it, it seems that most of the books and help websites are focused on ubuntu.21:01
ThersiTWould ubuntu be a better choice for a noob?21:01
Sorlagyeah I've had it turned off for a long time now.. but screenlets aren't working properly whithout compiz..21:01
whileimhereHow do I mount a USB CDR drive?21:02
rahilanyone willing to help me?21:02
shg_samThersiit ubuntu is safer than any linux if u are not familier with advanced things21:02
TwoDJackDeth, if you go with dual boot, I suggest installing XP first, then Ubuntu, as GRUB will then find both your XP and Ubuntu installation and add them both to the boot menu. Your sound problems might be related to audio drivers or PulseAudio, but I can't tell much about that without more info, and I'm no expert at all.21:02
RequinB4ThersiT: There is no "best" linux distribution - most of the main ones have a specific user group in mind.  However, many, including me, would say that ubuntu is one of the better distros for learning gnu/linux.21:02
shg_samrahil: yea21:03
rahilshg_sam: thanks, if I have a folder full of unbuilt packages, is there a way to use dpkg-deb -b to build all of them at the same time?21:03
rahili've been trying to figure this out with no luck...21:03
RequinB4ThersiT: For instance, if you jsut came from XP and expect to be able to do things without getting your hands dirty, ubuntu or mint is for you21:03
JackDethTwoD: If I install XP first, though, won't I need a third party program to partition the drive first? Or will the Ubuntu install let me do that after the fact?21:04
shg_samdo u mean unbuilt==not yet installed?21:04
RequinB4ThersiT: But if you, say, want to build your software from teh bottom up, it's not.21:04
shg_samrahil : i cant help maybe :(21:04
ThersiTI did used to mess with fbsd (not with much success) and got use to being able to control everything.21:04
chazcoHi.. does anyone know how to force the intel x driver to use a higher resolution than can be displayed and scroll it? I tried using "Virtual" in Xorg.conf but it didnt work21:05
rahilno, unbuilt as in a folder with the DEBIAN folder containing the control file and then the other folder with the application files....I want to create a deb for this21:05
TwoDJackDeth, you will get options to automatically or manually partition your drive. I believe manual is suggested for dual-boot systems or otherwise it'll use the whole disk.21:05
WaaibI followed the instructions on the cummunity page and at the end it said it would restart the system .. it's hanging at Running local boot scripts now...ideas?21:05
RequinB4ThersiT: most things should "just work" in ubuntu, with the main exception being things we have no control over you have to install manually like flash (very easy)21:06
RequinB4graphics cards, etc: just need the right drivers21:06

RequinB4zelrikriando: was for me...21:07
perilluxKartagis: yes21:07
ThersiTthanks, I think I'm gonna install ubuntu agein.21:07
RequinB4zelrikriando: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree; maybe also install libflashsupport21:07
JackDethTwoD: I also found something called FS-Driver for Windows which allows Windows to read and write in the Ext2 file format so you can read a write files directly to the Linux partition. It appears to embed itself into Windows so it will no it natively. That will solve some problems with her sharing files between the two.21:07
rahiloh well, looks like i'm just going to have to keep manually building packages :(21:07
zelrikriandoRequinB4, I use flash 10 because libflashsupport was pissing me off21:08
KartagisI did what you last said, and now all I see is a yellow screen with a gray box covering 1/4 of the screen21:08
perilluxKartagis: ya I'm here, is something wrong?21:08
JackDethI was trying to get Ubuntu working on a Medion Akoya E5312 Laptop. I could get everything working - EXCEPT the audio. Anyone tried installing Ubuntu on one of these?21:09
RequinB4zelrikriando: then it's not ubuntu's fault (in hardy) that it might be hard to put together21:09
chazcoJackDeth - Is that the MSI Wind rebrand?21:09
perilluxwhere is the fonts.conf file located in Hardy Heron?21:09
TwoDJackDeth, I'm running a dual-boot system with Vista & Xp & Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 on two PCs here. All partitions except the Linux root ones are ntfs since I already had lots of stuff on them. works fine except for one of the disks which has damaged sectors. Ubuntu gets kernel panic when trying to read from one of those sectors, so I have to be careful not to place anything new there (all my old data seems fine, but new risks to be placed on those bad sectors)21:09
crimsunperillux: in /etc/fonts/21:09
zelrikriandoRequinB4, I may agree even I find it easy to blame it on Adobe21:10
refriedbeanshello, for some reason, when i installed software updates to ubuntu, the OS seems very buggy. the shut down button on the menu bar makes the menu bar disappear, firefox doesn't save any bookmarks, pressing my power button completely turns off the computer instead of prompting me on what to do. how do i make ubuntu normal as possible again?21:10
JackDethchazco: Not sure. I think its one of those German imports. She got it from Aldi. It's fully featured and seems to be a sweet machine under Windows. Just rather have Linux, ya know?  :-)21:10
RequinB4zelrikriando: this convo is now probably ot, but i can't wait for gnash to have a 1.0 releasee...21:10
chazcoJackDeth - Just checked, it isnt. For what its worth on mine the sound works, but was muted by default...21:11
zelrikriandoRequinB4, I am pragmatic on that one...whatever makes youtube works...if it's gnash then that's cool21:11
TwoDJackDeth, but I am thinking about switching to ext3 as I have no permission control on the ntfs drives. I also read that you might need to convert ext3 partitions to ext2 to be able to make windows read them as the support in the driver you mention didn't include ext3. But that might have changed now.21:11
DIFH-icerootis it possible to use dual-view (same screen ob both displays) with different resolutions? i need 800x600 at the extern screen and 800x480 for the intern screen21:11
JackDethTwoD: Got to www.fs-driver.org and check out their extension. Sounds really slick.21:11
chazcoDoes anyone know how to force the intel x driver to use a higher resolution than can be displayed and scroll it? I tried using "Virtual" in Xorg.conf but it didnt work21:12
refriedbeanshello, for some reason, when i installed software updates to ubuntu, the OS seems very buggy. the shut down button on the menu bar makes the menu bar disappear, firefox doesn't save any bookmarks, pressing my power button completely turns off the computer instead of prompting me on what to do. how do i make ubuntu normal as possible again?21:12
JackDethchazco: I've got Ubuntu running in my virtual machine on my XP desktop machine and all works perfectly. It actually runs better than my native XP install.  :-)    Just trying to get it working on this laptop has been a pain.21:12
perilluxcrimsun: inside that file it says "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE.  IT WILL BE REPLACED WHEN FONTCONFIG IS UPDATED.  LOCAL CHANGES BELONG IN 'local.conf'."21:12
perilluxcrimsun: so where can I find local.conf?21:13

TwoDJackDeth, I've had no real problems with Vista. I actually find it more pleasant to work with than XP, aside from some of the very bloated settings wizards/menues like network configuration, but that can usually be taken care of by simply choosing "auto" on everything. The only drivers I couldn't get to work [no Vista version available] was the WDM drivers for my GeForce card, so no video-in capabilities, but I don't use that much anyway. As we had courses in21:26
TwoDDirectX10 programming at the computer games programming school I went to, I also learned that the DX10 API and capabilities are much better than DX9. I was running the 64-bit version which has had lots of complaints about driver-issues, but I believe that was mainly because the hardware manufactrers were slow to adapt, and not a problem of Vista itself.21:26

shakaboomu mean a menu option in mozilla? or the file pluginreg.dat21:44

stryd_oneflannel: sorry.... i was after a command-line tool, gdebi is gui.... any ideas?22:05
RequinB4amit: i want to use gnash22:05
unoprahil,  maybe you should use a for loop like this.  for file in *; do echo "dpkg-deb -b ./$file > ./$file.deb"; done22:05
Flannelstryd_one: gdebi should have a CLI version, or... thats the impression I was under.22:05
amitalrite, and when i rotate through the workspace with a program, when the program is crossing the corner it goes all crippy22:05
RequinB4 Gnash loads in broswer but doesn't output any audio or video22:05
Flannelstryd_one: or rather, gdebi should work from the CLI.22:06
neuratixguntbert: i'm doing it..22:06
amitRequinB4 just uninstall the damn thing22:06
zelrikriandoRequinB4, good luck with that...if it works let me know22:06
unoprahil, the reason printf if giving you that is because with each use of %s in the format.. the next file from the glob is used.22:06
RequinB4gnash is supposed to work with youtube22:06
RequinB4it's on their web page22:06
amitRequinB4 gnash doesnt support 8.04 proprly22:06

zelrikriandoRequinB4, no you are stuck22:07
Flannelstryd_one: In fact, yes, it does.  If you don't have it installed (because you have no GUI), install gdebi-core22:07
usserguesswho, after u installed virtualbox did u add yourself to vboxusers group?22:07

usserguesswho, do sudo useradd -G vboxusers $USERNAME22:09
ArcInversion 22:09
guest328bdizzle: When I boot using CRT it's fine and I can switch to the LCD and it will work. But when I boot up and try to log in with the LCD it doesn't work.22:10

adakosSo i got it installed, how do i go about starting my desktop up? (silly question, i know)22:11
Flannelusser: er, adduser.22:11
stryd_oneFlannel: thanks, trying it now22:11
guesswhoFlannel; so it should be sudo useradd -a vboxusers $myusername?22:11
Flannelusser: adduser user group22:11
neuratixguntbert: okay, but the problem is that when i delete stuff, it does not understand that i've just freed some space it seems22:11
Lincidadakos: Change your Session via Login screen.22:11
Flannelguesswho: no, just adduser username vboxusers22:11
guest328Is there a way to re-configure the monitor maybe? When I installed the driver for the LCD, I was using the CRT monitor22:11
neuratixit usually works with a reboot, but it didnt work this time22:11
ArcInversionAnyone know how to get StreamTuner to work?  Keeps saying "Unable to Tune In.  Failed to execute child process 'xmms'.  No such file or Directory".22:11
adakosLincid: where do I find the login screen? ( i installed it overtop a server)22:11
guntbertneuratix: so you see, where the big space is used up (85 GB in vente...)22:12
usserguesswho, Flannel oh right... the previous command is for adding new users to the system22:12
ArcInversionAnyone know how to get StreamTuner to work?  Keeps saying "Unable to Tune In.  Failed to execute child process 'xmms'.  No such file or Directory".22:12
usserguesswho, disregard the one i gave u and use sudo adduser $USERNAME vboxusers22:12
adakosMy login screen is text only:  Ubuntu 8.04.1 ubuntu tty1 : ubuntu login: _22:12
guntbertneuratix: deleteing some small files wont help at all, try deleting/moving something big22:13

guesswhodid not work22:13
guesswhousser, Flannel; its still giving me this The VirtualBox kernel driver is not accessible to the current user. Make sure that the user has write permissions for /dev/vboxdrv by adding them to the vboxusers groups. You will need to logout for the change to take effect..22:13
usserguesswho, u have to relogin for the group memberships to take effect22:13
Matt367hi22:13
guesswhoi see22:13
neuratixguntbert: thats easier said than done :P but my common sense has it that when i've deleted some hundred megabytes, i will have some hundred megabytes free, but thats not how it works?22:14
guesswhoi cant log in to the gui hardy heron as root?22:14
Flannelguesswho: you don't want to.22:14
usserguesswho, no!22:14
guesswholike i tried to switch users and login as root and it wouldnt work22:14
guesswhoin the gui part, why?22:14
usserguesswho, why would u want to?22:14
FlannelArcInversion: Try installing audacious and see if it works.  xmms isn't supported anymore.  If it still doesn't work, file a bug against StreamTuner22:14
ArcInversionguesswho: stop trying to login as root22:15
usserguesswho, when sudo works just fine22:15
guesswhofor security reasons?22:15
ArcInversionWith audacious, can I use StreamRipper?22:15
usser!sudo22:15
ubottusudo 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)22:15
FlannelArcInversion: I don't know.  It's a descendent from xmms, so it'd be your best bet.22:15
guntbertneuratix: 360 MB = 1/1000 of your diskspace - so you got still 0% free :-)) try to NEVER go beyond 80% on your system partition22:15
Matt367yeah u can  go int u system > administation > login window then change the minimal uuid22:16
AeronTSis there a direct link to the latest version of Firefox?  Three times now the 8.9mb file has not completed, the last time it quit at about the 8.3mb point:(  i'm on dialup22:16
guntbertneuratix: ok 2/100022:16
guesswhowell the reason i asked, was i was wanting to login as root just to change the permissions for viritual box on my account22:16
guesswhothen switch back to my regular account22:16
usserguesswho, u can use sudo for that22:16
ArcInversionjust use sudo command to change permissions22:16
Matt367!root22:16
ubottuDo not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo22:16

LaoziMy computer running Ubuntu will successfully go to sleep once, but if I try again without first shutting down the computer does not go to sleep and only takes me to a locked screen.22:17
usserguesswho, pretty much any task u can up with is possible with sudo22:17
Flannelbdizzle: No one. Its locked.22:17
bdizzleeven to devs?22:17
neuratixguntbert: yes, but i would have some -kb- free and my programs wouldnt just save empty files ( but still -replacing- the old file! :@ )22:17
Flannelbdizzle: yes.  The hash is impossible to create22:17
SebNaitsabesLaozi: yep the kernel has issues with stuff like that22:18
bdizzlecool22:18
guesswhoi understand the sudo command, i was just being lazy i guess and did not know how to change permissions in the terminal, so tried to switch to root via gnome gui just to change the permissions on my main user account22:18
stryd_oneflannel: catch-22 - looks like gdebi is only available as a deb hahahaha22:18
FructoseFlannel: You mean, unless you set the root password yourself.22:18
carandraugadakos: hischild: sorry, for taking so long. It's already uploading. First I had to recharge the battery and then I couldn't find the cable to connect it to the computer.  I think the quality isn't very bad, though it could be better had I a scanner22:18
LaoziSebNaitsabes, I take that as a "sorry, but there's no solution"?  If so, thanks for the info.22:18

SebNaitsabesLazi: well there may be a soloution,  but  many people have issues with stuff like that22:19
Laoziah22:19
FlannelFructose: This channel assumes you don't have a root password set, because that's how Ubuntu is shipped, and there's no reason to set one.22:19
LaoziI'll ask around22:19
guesswhook i am going to have to reboot i guess then, i dont have another user to switch too , to switch back to my main account to test if virtual box is working22:19
SebNaitsabesLaozi:  in fact my sleep won't even work in Ubuntu only Vista on here, but  I haven't bothered to try and get my sleep working22:19
SebNaitsabesLaozi: this is a desktop22:19

SebNaitsabescorey: does it work at all?22:22
stryd_oneflannel: the webpage for gdebi says: "gdebi is a simple tool to install deb files. It lets you install local deb packages resolving and installing its dependencies. apt does the same, but only for remote (http, ftp) located packages."22:23
stryd_oneis that misleading or is there something like gdebi that will grab from http (even better!)22:23
coreyno sound at all, I have gone through all the support pages and still nothing22:23
Flannelstryd_one: apt-get grabs them from http (and ftp)22:23
chetnicki am trying to install emerald-themes on 7.10, but it's says "Package emerald-themes is not available, but is referred to by another package." What do i do in this case?22:23

SebNaitsabescorey: have you got a log in sound?22:23
coreyno22:24
stryd_oneflannel: and doesn't require a repo?22:24
Flannelstryd_one: no... it does.  but so does gdebi.  gdebi takes local packages (I just downloaded this deb want want to install it) and satisfies their deps from the http repos (the deb I downloaded has depends, and I don't want to figure them out manually)22:25

Flannelstryd_one: are they deb packages?22:27
stryd_onei expect that all of their deps would be in the repos22:27
Flannelstryd_one: and, will these other systems be connected to the internet?22:27
stryd_oneyep, deb22:27
chazcoIt seems as though Ubuntu is refusing to resolve DNS properly after being started up, but once working will work fine22:27
stryd_oneyeh they will (or have a local repo on cd)22:28
Fructosecorey: Did you go to the pages linked by ubottu?22:28
Flannelstryd_one: gdebi will work fine then, and is installed by default on systems.22:28
Zelda1did anyone see my question?22:28
coreyyeah, still nothing is working22:28
Flannelstryd_one: CD repos count as real repos, so gdebi will be able to resolve deps with those too.22:28
Fructosecorey: What did you do to try and get it to work?22:28
Mark17where can i find what driver i need (it may not be provided with the ubuntu server disc)?22:28
Flannelstryd_one: you ... might be interested with aptonCD if you want to create a repo CD with your special packages (they pop it in, and then install through package management)22:29
AzizLightis there a way to put the main menu in the right click popup?22:29
stryd_onewell, i can use wget and point gdebi at the result (hey youre right, gdebi is already installed, duh!)22:29
reportingsjrhow do I open a program if it's hidden?22:29
reportingsjrI can't find where to maximize it..22:29

coreyis it a driver issue?22:30
Fructosejimincascadia: Here, you just ask your question. You don't ask to ask.22:30
Flannelstryd_one: No, disallowing that is a feature of the apt:// handler (its a security risk).  but wget and gdebi will work fine.22:30
jimincascadiayea kinda sorta22:31
usserqwerty, its probably checking your harddrive depending on the size it may take quite a while22:31
=== nostferka is now known as nostferka^
stryd_onei've read apt-get and aptitude man pages a zillion times but i can't see how you can use it to get a deb file from a URL (as opposed to a package name from a repo you have added)22:31
Flannelstryd_one: You could put those debs in your PPA (with permission, of course) and then add your PPA to the repos list22:31
qwertyusser would this take hours?22:31
Flannelstryd_one: You can't.22:31
jimincascadiahave the driver in  - we get as far as the sudo modprobe... and it soesn't survive the re-boot22:31

Zikeysome bogus script22:36
sauvinlesshaste, I usually run into that trouble when two or more apps try to use /dev/dsp at the same time. mplayer used to give me fits for that. You have to tell each app to use alsa.22:36
lesshastesauvin, right but take gnome wave cleaner (gwc) for example.. it is just asks me for a device name22:36

hoontekeandycaz: yeah, but the underlying issue is still that the card would need to speak two different frequencies at the same time, right?23:16
carandraugkcman: have you tried using a burner program?23:16
Xodiac13Flannel: it gives me like arabic, armenian, cyrillic, and more23:16
andycazhoonteke: yup, and that is impossible as far as i know23:16
FlannelXodiac13: Well, pick whichever you think looks normal23:16
hoontekeandycaz: :-)  I take that as a challenge!23:17
RaedWulf_??? ok, now it's browsing properly. What's wrong with this system?23:17
Xodiac13Flannel: i feel retarted because i thought it was asking me the language sorry i thought to hard into it23:17
kogiRaedWulf_: unfortunately, i'm a noob, so i cant help you with your problem.. as for the troubleshoot, i've tried removing the USA layout and installing it again23:17
hactarokay. so does anything work in 8.04?23:17
=== Crazed_by_Pengui is now known as CrazedbyPenguins
kcmancarandraug yes, i have also tried brasero one of the other programs under add/remove it does the exact samething...23:17
hactaror is the idea that, when you've got years of updates to give out, you need to pace yourself23:17
RaedWulf_kogi: do all other the keys work properly?23:18
kogiRaedWilf_: but i dont think its a layout problem, becausei have two different language layouts and i cannot enter a slash when using either of them23:18
porncakehow come when i drop the themes i download from gnome-look.org in appearance -> themes it says this is not a theme file23:18
tony_can someone tell me why every time i install mythtv i get "no upnp backends found" or something and then "couldn't login" etc?23:18
porncakedo i need some sort of a special theme manager?23:18
kogiRaedWulf_: yes, in fact they do23:18
RaedWulf_kogi: slash or backslash?23:18
gRaCiOsOi cant get logged in wpa networks with my ubuntu anyone know why??23:18
Xodiac13Flannel: so for the console font its not going to mess up my keyboard23:18
Xodiac13Flannel: when i type?23:18
kogiRaeWulf_: this -> / (i copied and pasted it)23:19
carandraugkcman: does it burn anything when you try to burn files instead of an iso? Have you tried using a different brand of CD's? My burner refuses to burn in some brands.23:19
RaedWulf_Kogi: two ways to type it: shift+7 or / above #8 if you have a numerical keypad. Neither work?23:19
FlannelXodiac13: I've honestly never seen those questions before.  Just pick the one that looks normal.23:19
CrazedbyPenguinsDoes anyone here have any experience with xrdp?23:20
kcmancarandraug i have used this brand before on both of my ubuntu boxes and now both of them will not write iso's and iso's only...23:20

RaedWulf_Not sure if I want my Ubuntu Studio RT kernel anymore.23:21
Xodiac13okay23:21
Matt367im using vistas loader23:21
RaedWulf_Kogi, did you get my question?23:21
RaedWulf_regarding the slash key?23:21
carandraugkcman: that's strange. If you couldn't burn nothing at all, maybe I could've been of help. In this case, sorry. No idea23:22
Matt367i can use the grub shell in gnome_terminal23:22
Xodiac13Flannel: when it installs and asks for the encoding which is UTF-8 then it ask me the console font like Arabic, Armenian, Greek, and so on23:22
kogiRaedWulf_: the slash over the number 8 in the numerical keypad works.. my layout doesn't print slash when i press SHIFT+7, but & :P23:22
kcmancarandraug nah dont say that i will try another brand of cd but hey you have given me a ray of hope...23:23
kcmancarandraug you any good at checking video drivers?23:23
Matt3678-)23:23
carandraugkcman: No. I'm only good on what I had problems with before and my graphs were always ok23:24
RaedWulf_Kogi, Shift+8 then? or shift+6?23:24
FlannelXodiac13: is there a Latin one?23:24
Xodiac13Flannel: Yes23:24
kogiRaedWulf_: nope23:24
dorianhey, if i wanted to transplant an old /var into a new installation, do i need to overwrite anything other than /var/lib/dpkg?23:24

ubottuPartitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter23:53
koshar1greendot: i understand butyou may have to setup the target machine beside the router tempererily until you get the wifi working23:53
greendotPrikolchik: i'm using the nintendo wifi connector (aka the Buffalo WLI-U2-KG54-AI Wireless LAN Adapater)23:53
kitcheTetrohead: which permissions sounds like you did not configure sshd correctly to use the keys or you don't have putty using your key23:53
Matt367i mean i can't juc st go in windows and change the boot optons23:53
carandraugMatt367: I don't think Windows bootloader is editable like GRUB. Maybe it is. I believe the file is boot.ini23:53
greendotPrikolchik: i know it'll work because there are tutorials23:54
koshar1rconan: greendot doesnt have a ethernet connectin where the pc is or wifi configured23:54
greendotbut the tutorials all assume that you can get online otherwise23:54
unopcarandraug, how is grub editable? :)23:54
dennistercan someone help me please, even pulse audio device chooser crashes at startup23:54
greendotif i had an ethernet cord up here i woudn't even BOTHER with setting up wireless at all23:54

thenetduckHi, I need some help getting my Active Hard Drive Protection working with sensing my headers sopported using this wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardDiskShockProtection   could some one help me get this done?23:54
Khisanthyou can download the files from windows and access them in linux23:54
Prikolchikgreendot, errmm.... so u go through all the hassle simply because u dont want to move to router?23:54
GL-sangreendot,  broadcom 4318?23:54
Matt367ok ill be back if i have a anser il pm u wgen i log back on23:54
Prikolchikgreendot, is it laptop?23:55
Khisanthassuming you are chatting from the same ssytem you are trying to do the ndis install23:55
unop!who23:55
ubottuAs 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 :)23:55
greendotit's a desktop23:55
carandraugunop: I meant you could change the time and order and colors, and many many things. I've seen you around, you know it :p23:55
koshar1greendot so you cannot temperarily set the PC up withing reach of the routher23:55
GL-sanuse a usb key23:55
GL-sanor a cd23:55
greendotit would be a huge hassle on the part of various parties23:55
GL-santo copy over the files23:55
unopcarandraug, that's only editing grub's configuration file .. so the windows boot.ini is equivalent to the grub menu.lst/menu.cfg23:56
rconangreendot, somewhat of a dilema, if you get the whole list of changes from synaptic, get all the .debs by hand and copy them into /var/cache/apt/archives then you can install using synaptic23:56
koshar1greendot another option would be to use a AP23:56
greendotAP?23:56
koshar1access point23:56
kitcheTetrohead: so you went to ssh in putty and clicked auth then browsed for your private key and hit ok and tried to connect?23:56
greendotkoshar1: what on earth is that?23:57
carandraugunop: ok. You're right. But I'm not writing on my mother tong and those nuances are over me23:57
Tetroheadkitche: Yes, I am using the same exact key set on another server fine.23:57
koshar1greendot: an access point had ethernet port, and an antenna, so you set it up PC>AP>wifi23:57
koshar1via ethernet23:58
Kohlrak-ServerAnyone with some experience with the xfix thing not fixing screen resolution settings?23:58

TheMaxzillanrg_: I think most of use are using Hardy....23:59
