[00:00] itachi: then create a shortcut on your desktop with the command: openarena [00:00] WDC: right click the torrent file on your computer and then select open with [00:00] WDC: No problem. VLC will play just about anything you throw at it, and it's pretty light. Definitely my favorite video player. [00:00] itachi: then just click it and the game should start [00:00] actually, 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] I 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? === oddgoose is now known as ladyfantasy [00:00] WDC: sorry forgot something. right click the torrent file, select properties, then select open with [00:01] P5|3, so i'll go in terminal nd open terminal nd type what command again [00:01] lwizardl: Thanks! [00:01] trinaryShift: I used it on Windows and I loved it as well [00:01] WDC: with that you can change your default programs on opening anything. [00:01] Frostwire? Limewire? ou aMule? [00:01] r4b: I'd say back up all your data first regardless [00:01] <__mikem> gleyve, noneof the above [00:01] 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] WDC: Yep, same here. Fantastic little program. [00:01] WDC: no problem i had that issue when I was starting to use ubuntu. I prefer to use azureus for my torrents [00:01] what do u advice? [00:02] <__mikem> gleyve, transmission [00:02] lwizardl: I'm not REALLY a Java fan. Not that it's bad, just I don't like it [00:02] well, there isnt really any important stuff yet, just wondering if it'd affect anything since it's an extended partiton [00:02] itachi: 1st start ubuntu, 2nd push alt+F2, 3rd type openarena [00:02] itachi: this should work [00:02] 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] is it possible to run compiz on a system with an nvidia card and two monitors [00:02] P5|3, ok be brb [00:02] WDC: yeah i'm not a huge fan of java either but it seems to work for me better on SBC isp [00:03] hari i have an idea... have you heard of a program called ogle [00:03] hi all.. i'm having an issue with scrolling down page on firefox, it is not smotth/lag or something [00:03] its an old project, but i used it once for playing dvd's, and it was very good [00:03] lwizardl: hmmm. That's interesting. I am on ATT (with my connection it's technicly SBC) [00:03] FFEMTcJ: 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. [00:04] WDC: yeah i've been having issues with the p2p blocking crap [00:04] forgive me if this is stupid, but i cant resize the partition ubuntu is currently running on, can I? [00:04] r4b: no [00:04] r4b, u can't, use live CD instead [00:04] though as much [00:04] trinaryShift: 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 drivers [00:04] gleyve: I'd recommend getting azureus from the repositories (as it's the older, smaller version...much more suited to my tastes) for torrenting files [00:04] __mikem: u mean bit torrent transmission? [00:04] 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. [00:05] ok... in a terminal type: sudo apt-get install ogle [00:05] i'm on a netbook so no cd drive. I have a liveusb though, i'll do it later. Thanks for the advice [00:05] followed by sudo apt-get install ogle-gui [00:05] FFEMTcJ: Hmm. How did you install your drivers? [00:05] looking 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? [00:06] gmoore: i like nvidia way better [00:06] i 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 ones [00:06] Thanks all. g2g. VLC FTW [00:06] gmoore: Nvidia has lots of support [00:06] in Linux [00:06] so ati is probably a poor choice just from a support standpoint then [00:07] gmoore, nvidia have better support for linux [00:07] where's the helpers file? [00:07] gmoore, nvidia [00:07] gmoore: correct [00:07] hi all.. i'm having an issue with scrolling down page on firefox, it is not smotth/lag or something ? need help to fix this [00:07] thats true... ati driver support isn't very good on linux [00:07] or more rather, where or how can i add a app to the helpers list? [00:07] FFEMTcJ: 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] some people have said ati's drivers have gotten a lot better in the last year or two, and they have [00:07] but they still suck [00:07] Dumbakchi, I just opened the disk in AcidRip, and it says that there are 94 titles on the disk... O.O [00:07] i see... [00:07] trinaryShift: 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 available [00:08] trinaryShift: ill try it [00:08] squiddy: Have you installed the correct graphics drivers? [00:08] Has anyone here setup a point of sale cash register using Linux? === C3838877 is now known as chalcedony [00:08] have you tried installing ogle? type this: sudo apt-get install ogle; sudo apt-get install ogle-gui [00:08] FFEMTcJ: Yeah, envy is a python script that will automatically download the relevant drivers and configure your xorg.conf file. [00:08] lwizardl, i'm sure its possible, Lowes uses linux [00:08] into a terminal [00:09] trinaryShift, yes, i have (i think) through hardware drivers menu. i have 2 machines, 1 with nvidia, other with ati. both having the same issue [00:09] lwizardl, i'm not exactly sure what Lowes uses linux for though [00:09] hari_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARccOS [00:09] lwizardl http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=471289 [00:10] trinaryShift: there isn't an envy-ng.. there are a bunch of things that come back though with a search of envy [00:10] I have an grub or kernal error i have alot of kernals but grub and startup manager only show 2 and these two are old 2.6.24-15-generic and 2.6.24-15-generic [00:10] Chris|, Lowes also has the money to build a POS system from scratch... Unfortunately... [00:10] yeah i've read these but seems 99% of the Linux software for POS is for food or resturants [00:10] FFEMTcJ: envyng [00:10] squiddy: 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 name [00:10] FFEMTcJ: Hmm, hold on a sec [00:11] !envy [00:11] envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [00:11] 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] ah ok [00:11] trinaryShift, i used envy once, still won't work i out. [00:11] FFEMTcJ: Yeah, the name of the package is envyng. No hyphen :/ [00:12] <__mikem> gleyve, yes [00:12] squiddy: What version of ubuntu and firefox are you using, by the way? [00:13] trinaryShift, it's ubuntu 8.04.1 and FF 3.0.1 [00:13] im back [00:13] squiddy: in firefox address bar type about:config then in Filter box type scroll see if smooth scroll is set to true [00:13] hari_, any luck? [00:13] hari_: yeah I currently have 5 computers setup to test various pos applications (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Windows 2k, Windows XP) and none I have found I truly like so far. the system will mainly be used by myself (i'll be 29 on the 29th of this month, and my vision is fine) :) [00:13] squiddy: Also try turning off compiz or any desktop effects you might have on. [00:13] legend2440, i'll try it [00:14] trinaryShift, i got 4gb of ram, AMD X2 5000+ and nvidia 8600GT, so i think it's not about lack of resources [00:15] ok, I know this a stupid question but I just can't do it, can anyone tell me how to join a channel in xchat : #4chan@irc.rizon.net [00:15] squiddy: Ha ha, alright. Good to know. (Almost exact same setup as me, by the way :D) [00:15] eligos: how did you get here? [00:16] hari_: so does that mean you know alot about register setups? [00:16] trinaryShift, ya, that's what confused me :D [00:16] eligos: /server irc.rizon.net and then after it opens a new server window, /join #4chan, btard :P [00:16] trinaryShift: i installed envy, and then used that to install the driver it had.. still get the "the composite extention is not available" [00:16] squiddy: Hmm. I used to have the exact same problem, but I can't remember what I did to solve it... [00:17] legend2440, is it general.smoothScroll? [00:17] can someone help me with php and mysql [00:17] or should i be in another room [00:17] eligos, /join #channel [00:17] trinaryShift, aahhh bad for me :( [00:17] im trying to make a forum using php and mysql [00:17] Grandslammaster: another room [00:17] Problem Solved thanks for your help :) [00:17] k [00:17] lol [00:17] Grandslammaster: well ##php or #php if it's a programming question [00:17] squiddy: yes mine is set to true [00:18] tonsofpcs, shingen, unop, I told you this was stupid, I mean I can get here connecting to freenode and typing ubuntu when it asks me for the channel, but when I clic on a irc link on awebsite I just can't access it [00:18] FFEMTcJ: Ok. I'm going to have to suggest trying the forums then + extensive google searching with compiz + your graphics card, etc. [00:18] squiddy: Yeah, sorry D: [00:18] ty [00:18] guys i need some help [00:18] mib_76rvwtax: What's up? [00:18] eligos: thats because xchat isn't registered as a URL application for irc:// ... google that, you'll find your answer [00:19] mib_76rvwtax, more then you think but anything specific we can help with [00:19] so athros ar5007eg [00:19] trinaryShift, no problem,,, linux is about learning is it ? i'm sure i'll figure it out :D [00:19] IdleOne: :D [00:19] i was installing madwifi === yacc_ is now known as yacc [00:19] i got stuck [00:19] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/atheros-5007eg-with-madwifi-on-i386-platform.html [00:19] on step 4 [00:19] squiddy: There's the right attitude. Just keep chugging away and a solution will come upon you at some point. [00:19] step 4 doesnt do anything [00:20] lwizardl, Um, not really... [00:20] hello i have DLed a script for GIMP and am trying to move it into the /usr/share/gimp/2.0/scripts dir and it isnt letting me how can i change permissions to let me move this into the right place?

[00:21] hari_: ah ok I'm just in the purchasing hardware phase for building my pos system [00:21] guys help [00:21] mortuis99: open up a terminal, then cd to the directory the script is in [00:21] hi from greece [00:21] mortuis99: You can use 'sudo nautilus' to open a nautilus window with root priviledges. That should let you copy the script into the necessary folder. [00:21] mib_76rvwtax, focus. is that folder on your Desktop? [00:21] hi [00:21] that is it in or that it goes in? [00:21] what mib_76? [00:21] i did the cd code [00:21] mib_76rvwtax, what do you mean the command doesn't work? do you mean it doesn't display any output? [00:22] output [00:22] step 6 doesnt work [00:22] netsui that is it in or that it goes in? and how do i change it? [00:22] mib_76rvwtax, if a command doesn't display output, it usually means it worked! [00:22] !doesnwork [00:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about doesnwork [00:22] !doesntwork [00:22] mortuis99: Follow netsui's advice. [00:22] 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. [00:22] it just says no target specified [00:22] !gksudo [00:22] 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) [00:22] in which package is javaws?

[00:23] P5|3, could be any number of reasons - the ip address is incorrect for that network, the link is down, the interface is down, the router does not respond to pings, etc [00:23] lwizardl, What industry are you in? [00:23] mortuis99: That the script goes in. And what do you mean by 'how do you change it?'? [00:23] no targets specified and no makefiles [00:23] cmon [00:23] how do i change the permissions there? [00:23] im sorta new so... [00:23] !arccos [00:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about arccos [00:24] mib_76rvwtax: are you in the directory with the make file?

But, I'm pretty sure that you can just right click and bring up a folder properties window. [00:24] t [00:24] im properties wont let me do it [00:25] i have tried that [00:25] cd root [00:25] hari_: video game retail [00:25] mib_76rvwtax, try this: follow the sme thing as before but start by typing this into the terminal: 'cd ~/Desktop' [00:25] Does anyone here know why network interfaces would disappear?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [00:44] Gman99999, you could just edit the xorg.conf to use the nv driver. no need to 'uninstall' the other. [00:44] !firefox3 | KOJV [00:44] KOJV: Firefox 3 Final is currently in the Hardy package repositories. For best results, do not install via archives downloaded from mozilla.com. [00:44] Gman99999, you proberly should edit it to use the nv driver. befor trying to remove the other in any case. [00:45] liamkmc do you know how can i use the ntfs?

[00:45] DreamLnr, you shouldn't edit the group file directly -- inface, NEVER do that. use the appropriate tools to do it for you. [00:45] Gman99999: try running it in konsole and pastebin what you get [00:46] DreamLnr: you just really add to add the users to the www-data group [00:46] Smor1, the Nvidia one.

[01:31] unop: ok, will try [01:31] Thanks for the link [01:32] Can someone help me with wireless, I'm using rt2500usb module but cannot get an IP address [01:32] unop: worked just fine [01:32] Miran: If that doesn't work out u could try puppy linux [01:33] So, as much as I hate to admit it, I need help... [01:33] I have a raid 5 setup with 3 disks, all the same make/model of disk [01:33] Just out of curiosity, why aren't there links to the derivitave versions (xbuntu, edubuntu, etc...) from the main ubuntu site. I seem to recall that they used to do that... [01:33] unop: When I go to the Hardware drivers menu it just says no restricted drivers and gives me no options to install one [01:33] I want to theme ubuntu, can somebody please explain me what is the difference between gtk2 metacity compiz gdm themes colour schemes etc.? [01:33] I have /dev/md0 mounted to /mnt/raid [01:33] what what in the butt [01:33] my fstab has # /dev/sda3 commented and it's my root partition yet /dev/sda3 is really one of my windows partitions. wtf? [01:33] AzizLight: GTK themes are your widget themes (buttons, etc) [01:34] In gparted it has a warning about a bad superblock [01:34] AzizLight: Metacity themes are your window decorations, GDM themes are login screen themes [01:34] I run e2fsck and it finds all kinds of errors, fixes them, and the error won't go away [01:34] does anyone know wtf is going on with fstab? it's ridiculous [01:35] I try the -b switch with no effect, just an error on the disk... [01:35] I don't know how to explain it.. I use: "sudo ", it shows the "#", it pressed an enter itself and I see another "#" on bottom [01:35] discombobulated, puzzling. just how does the file change? [01:35] If 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] dxdemetriou, meaning. it's waiting for you to enter a password probably. === LSD|Ninj1 is now known as LSD|Ninja [01:36] The interesting part is, with ext2 or ext3 formatting, I can read and write to the disk without problem... [01:36] discombobulated: 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 upgraded [01:36] any ideas on how to clear the error? [01:36] unop: i don't know, it does it when it boots up [01:36] Smor1, try using the envyng app to install the drivers perhaps. [01:36] !envyng > Smor1 [01:36] ? [01:37] there is no app at all that does what k/ubuntu does when you install it, such as see all drives and configure them automatically? [01:37] hey room [01:37] SNuxoll: ok thanks a lot [01:37] If 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?

[02:40] carandraug: Let's see what your command does. [02:40] WDC: a big list of everything. lshw=list hardware [02:41] WDC: while lspci=list pci [02:41] carandraug: and lshw -C html [02:42] carandraug: Cool thanks. Now, what most likely would my microphone be under? [02:42] WDC: if its plugged in to your sound card it wont' be there. IF its usb you can lsusb [02:42] histo: It's a laptop, so built it [02:42] histo: Built in* [02:43] WDC: no idea. Never had one. But there was a nice GUI for that command, tree like, which would help you find it [02:43] carandraug: and that command is? [02:43] hey...can anyone help me....i went to system-->pref--->sound..i selected alsa sound drivers for all options nd tested it...i get beep sounds from my speakers, but i dont get sounds wen i play movies [02:43] WDC: its probably just mic'd off the sound card it should just work. You just need to unmute it. [02:44] WDC, under alsa, input source, my built in mic appears as front mic [02:44] lol [02:44] !MIDI [02:44] Trouble playing MIDI files?

I did that, and Audacity doesn't repsond [02:44] WDC: well see if anything is listed under lsusb [02:44] WDC: it's not installed by default. I used to have it but no longer. I'll see if I can find it [02:44] hist; SigmaTel STAC9221 A1 [02:44] carandraug: cool thanks [02:44] histo: Let me see [02:44] WDC: and mic is muted by default in ubuntu [02:44] !help [02:44] Hi!

[02:45] histo: All I see is this: Bus 006 Device 002: ID 05ca:1839 Ricoh Co., Ltd [02:45] Histo: Well, I'm trying to get Audacity to produce sound when I try to play MIDIs. [02:46] !sound > WDC [02:46] WDC, please see my private message [02:46] histo; ya i'll try....i m trying getting my sound over a month..i used even sound troubleshooting...but then i got stuck somewhere... [02:46] I need help with an extremely weird situation! In nearly every folder on my ntfs disks there are now .exe files with the name of the folder. All are 41.7KB in size! [02:46] !midi > Strife89 [02:46] Strife89, please see my private message [02:46] I have Timidity installed already. Is it possibly to assign the patchset to Audacity? [02:46] TwoD: okay how did they get there? [02:47] histo: Where is Volume Control? [02:47] Strife89: that i'm not sure of possibly audacity support might help [02:47] WDC, double click the small speaker un the notification area, then click on edit>preferences, and check mark input source and capture, then new tabs will apear, click on the "options" tab, and select your front mic as input, then select the "recording" tab and unmute capture and turn the input source all the way up [02:47] Are there any american page to compare cell phone privider costs? [02:47] histo: Unfortunately I already followed the instructions there and they did not accomplish what I wanted. [02:47] is there an AMD irc channel anywhere? [02:47] histo, I have no idea... I just noticed it after trying Glest. [02:47] WDC: by the clock . [02:47] WDC: or you can alsamixer [02:48] histo: got it thanks [02:48] GOD! [02:48] TwoD: sounds like some kind of worm [02:48] TwoD: clickme.exe [02:49] hey [02:49] histo, thanks got more info? [02:49] it [02:49] TwoD: hold up [02:50] TwoD: do you hav ea virus scanner? [02:50] WDC: looks like it's called lshw-gtk , instead you can put everything into an html file and open it with firefox/browser_of_choice .The command is sudo lshw -html > lshw.html This file appear into your home folder [02:50] histo, nope, never needed one until now. [02:50] TwoD if ur under ubuntu, install ClamAV [02:50] histo: My thoughts are that I could point Audacity to the patchset that I got with Timidity, or point it to the "server" that I set up Timidity as (per Wiki instructions) but I'm not sure how I would accomplish either. [02:50] twod its under synaptid [02:50] synaptic [02:51] TwoD: never needed one on windows lol [02:51] sam_d, doing it now [02:51] Strife89: I have no idea you'd have to ask the audacity people [02:51] sam_d: he needs to scan his ntfs drive [02:51] histo: Everything is maxxed, not muted and NOTHING (from the mics is coming in) [02:51] hello, I got PANIC: Circular Dependancy when I start my computer again after upgrade my kernel to -21 [02:51] histo: They're pretty quiet tonight. [02:51] histo, yeah, but he can do it with clam av, as far as i know [02:52] histo: The channel's rather empty. [02:52] TwoD: instead of downloading an antivirus, if it's just to check it's one, you can go to kapersky site and scan the file there with online tools [02:52] willwill, does the old kernel still appear on your grub menu? [02:52] sam_d, yes, but the old kernels also have this problem too [02:52] carandraug: hmmm. Still can't get ANYTHING to come up from my mic [02:52] TwoD: sounds like the folder.exe virus. [02:52] how do i use the commands pwck and grpck? [02:53] TwoD: you can also install a virus scanner in ubuntu and scan the ntfs drive [02:53] !virus | TwoD [02:53] TwoD: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [02:53] histo, doing that now [02:53] histo thats what clamav does, [02:53] TwoD, clamav is handy, and has a front end or 2 you can use.. [02:53] WDC: I never had a microphone. I was just helping you in showing all your hardware [02:53] sam_d: Yeah I know [02:53] TwoD - clamav [02:53] carandraug: Hmm mthanks [02:53] TwoD: apt-cache search clamav [02:53] b_, use man pwck and man grpck to see how to use these commands [02:54] TwoD: and like others have suggested you may want to get a frontend [02:54] histo, danand , dr_Willis I am already installing it now hehe [02:54] after reinstalling driver [02:54] what now [02:54] Here's my problem. [02:54] When Audacity is set to ALSA, and I record it says this: Error while opening sound device. Please check the input device settings and the project sample rate. [02:54] casper - the ubuntu livecd scripts are very picky about creating the livecd user. If you have issues, please run pwck and grpck as root to fix /etc/passwd and /etc/group. These have to be in sync in order for casper to create the livecd/dvd user. [02:54] itachi: are you still having flash problems? (i've been gone for a bit) [02:54] WDC you followed my instructions avobe? thats how i got mine working [02:54] Hi all, is there anyway of using my netMD minidisk through linux? IE to rip my music off it and go modern? [02:55] WDC does the mic works w other software? [02:55] cwill747: yeah.... -.- [02:55] itachi: what are your problems now? [02:55] Can any1 tell me why I can't ping my other computer from my ubuntu machine using the computer's name? (I can when I'm directly plugged onto it, but not when I'm through a router, I have to use IP then) [02:55] sam_d: In WIndows, yes lol.

[02:58] salaz: you can also change the punctuation. An ":" instead of a "," for example. Go to preferences and look for "input box" [02:59] cwill747: listen i just etracted flash player 10... then it says if i want to run it with terminal nd twhen i run it it says to install press enter i press it nd then it says note close all browse nd then i press enter again nd it cancel [02:59] WDC if you already did my instructions no problem, open auditacy , then edit>preferences, AUDIO I/O and change the input source to alsa mic [02:59] M1DLG: minicds? [02:59] WDC or alsa:default [02:59] itachi: please put the output in the pastebin and post the link [02:59] sam_d: That's my problem.

I have the pptpd server running and configured, i have xp in VirtualBox up and running and conn [03:00] ected to the internet, but dont know why the connections to the VPN server are being refused, Im doing local tests. Any ideas? [03:00] danand, what am I looking for there? [03:00] M1DLG: why are you still using minidisc?

[03:07] danand: no WINS server via samba to take care of the pinging by hostname. it would be just like on a windows network no? [03:07] cwill747: after that what [03:07] itachi: check the checkbox next to the name, and "mark it for installation". Then click apply at the top [03:07] pajamian: devede..okeh [03:07] ldiamond - look at /etc/hosts if you don't have a dns server for your network [03:07] salaz: Kino isn't awful.

It keeps jumping around on both my monitors and refuses to stay where I put it :( [03:13] ldiamond - hmmm .... thats a bit odd... /etc/resolv.conf should be the place for that type of entry.

[03:17] ldiamond - 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-01 [03:17] salaz, the term 'hacking' is rather vague and often missused.

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?

[03:42] its enabled in ubuntu now days right? otherwise apt-get install ntfs-3g [03:42] hi, fstab looks as if it may have been automatically generated. is this the case? what program(s) write it? is it safe to edit this file directly (will changes be lost)?

Never heard of tool to automatically edit it [03:45] hitman1985: what do you need to work?

[03:47] zeeeee: from my experience, no automatically mounted partition appeared there, ever. Maybe there's someway to make them interact and auto-add but I don't know how [03:47] i got my domains and so on and all the php stuff i needed worked so far but in that function im totally nooob [03:47] just installed ubuntu from windows. when booting ubuntu, it enters a command line after the loading splash. whats wrong? please assist [03:48] hitman1985: all you do is create the folder in your webspace (via ftp) and you can use http basic authentication to control access to it. [03:48] what is basic authetication ? [03:48] one sec ... [03:48] pajamian, sorry forgot to put that upfront :( [03:48] Anybody ever get "I/O Error. Reboot" error when booting from ubuntu CD?

[03:53] floppyears, type umm lspci -v [03:53] floppyears, look for the dvd [03:54] Trinithis, reiserfs [03:54] pajamian, yes i got a password mixup here with up to 128 bit, from my buddy who works for the feds somewhere in GA :-) [03:54] For FAT in particular, what about 16 vs 32? [03:54] should be secure for the start then i hope [03:54] hwilde_: nothing shows up that has dvd in that list [03:55] pajamian, but hey i got to run pick him up at the airport lil quick i ll be on in about 1 hr or 2 again, maybe your still there later, then we ll talk some more ok ? [03:55] lone-soldier: don't know anything about RAID but I think that it shouldn't be a problem with Ubuntu [03:55] hitman1985: also use md5 passwords as the older crypt ones have a limit of 8 chars.

I'm trying to take the qtlibs from 4.4 to 4.3. can anyone help? [04:20] what do I need to see Login screen for me to change it? [04:20] salaz, welcome :) [04:20] I go system->administration [04:20] hiptobecubic: qt is going to have a lot of dependancies and if you try to pin a lower version you will have problems. [04:21] but cant find any Login Window [04:21] alrite, so i am installing ndiswrapper 1.53, after creating the ndiswrapper directory it says change to that directory and "make uninstall""make", how do i change to that directory [04:21] hi. i installed.. apt-get -y install bittorrent-gui.. What installed ? i cant find in the list. how to run bittorrent now?? [04:21] hi guys. I'm working with networkmanger + openVPN. I have no problem connecting to the VPN, but once I'm connected, it drops everything except local traffic. i.e. I can access machines across the VPN, but I can't access webpages anymore [04:21] Is there a way to limit the CPU usage? [04:21] Any data recovery software for linux?? [04:21] jtacuyan, gksu gdm-setup [04:21] amit: cd ndiswrapper [04:21] sarthor, try bittorrent-gui in a console [04:21] carandraug, yes! thats exactly what appears, nothing happens after that [04:22] How can I recover data or restore the partition table? [04:22] pajamian, well i am currently using backports and it's version 4.4, but this version has issues with displaying skype so i'd like to revert to 4.3. [04:22] ldiamond, command not found [04:22] then make sure you check in applications. [04:22] So cd ndiswapper, tha should wor, and why the next step is make uninstall [04:22] hiptobecubic: what app are you using from backports? [04:22] sarthor, get a torrent and start downloading it [04:23] amit: I don't know why. [04:23] pajamian, i honestly don't remember why i started using backports but there was some legitimate reason at the time. I only want to downgrade qt 4.4 [04:24] jtacuyan, sorry its gksu gdmsetup [04:24] lone-soldier: wait a few minutes. 2 or 3 minutes. Sometimes it can take more. Also, has ubuntu ever booted since you installed? It may be that something went wrong during installation. [04:24] pajamjan: cd diswrapper- says no file or directory [04:24] no i've only just installed, so all i need to do is wait several minutes and it should boot? [04:24] amit, you need to give the whole path for that [04:25] hiptobecubic: you're going to have to resolve all the dependancies, then. Might want to turn off the backports repository and then reinstall any apps that it complains about. [04:25] how the path works arvind_khadri [04:25] its in my temp [04:25] amit: that's because it's ndiswrapper [04:25] pajamian, i'll try, thanks [04:25] amit, where exactly is your ndiswrapper directory [04:26] trash [04:26] Hmm.. what an odd place to put it [04:26] Sounds like there's some risk of breakage when messing with qt libs. Which makes me think... what's an effective differential backup scheme for OS backups? [04:26] Dr_willis, :) [04:26] wait wait amit/desktop [04:27] LoL [04:27] amit, lesson #1 - linux IS case SenEsEtiVe Desktop is not the same as desktop === Uriens_off is now known as Uriens [04:27] lesson learned [04:27] amit, so you mean /home/amit/Desktop/ndiswrapper (or whatever its called) [04:27] amit, cd ~/Desktop/ndiswrapper [04:27] yes [04:27] lone-soldier: no. If that appears is because something is worng. Sometimes the error just takes time to appear [04:27] cool awesome i will try it [04:27] my ndiswrapper is in trash too :) (because I try to avoid using it) [04:28] lone-soldier: but in your case, I would just uninstall and reinstall it. [04:28] amit: btw, ndiswrapper is good as a last resort, but you should use it only as a last resort to get your wireless working. Usually there are better more supported ways. [04:29] pajamian: what are the better ways? [04:29] danbhfive: usually the restricted drivers manager. [04:29] what are the commands to compleatly remove the SSH server from my server (through Webmin), then reinstall it? my copy is bad [04:29] carandraug: ok i'll give it a shot. thanks for the help [04:30] pajamian: ah, ok [04:30] jeeves__, sudo apt-get remove --purge openssh-server && sudo apt-get install openssh-server === slushpuppy\ is now known as slushpuppeh [04:30] Hello I am new to Linux and am trying it on a old computer it has 500mhz and 192 mb ram will I be able to run Ubuntu on it?

[04:31] amit: I'm pretty sure you don't need ndiswrapper for an atheros chipset. Anyone else know more about atheros? [04:31] pajamian, you don't need it. [04:31] New2Linux, for that old a box you may want to even try some uberlight disrtos like 'dsl' or perhaps *shudder* puppylinux both should run well on it.

[04:46] jumpaholic, disconnect everything and see if you can just boot cd...

I never used Wubi myself. Let me see other ways to uninstall it [04:47] can i pm you pajamjan [04:47] kc8pxy: I will check it out, thanks. [04:47] I wanted to, the PC bios doesn't offer this option [04:47] hwilde, could I write something like a script file that has the sudo commands in it (with the admin password), upload it to the server via FTP, then excute it from a PHP call? [04:47] hmm what's external SATA... should i disable that hwilde_? [04:48] amit: ok, start over again: sudo apt-get install build-essential [04:48] jumpaholic, disable everything you dont need [04:48] carandraug: going to try disable uac, maybe it will help. be right back [04:48] in the terminal [04:48] amit: yeah, alright [04:48] how can I reconfigure my HAL? [04:48] i dont know what i need/dont need [04:48] jumpaholic, then disable everything except cd and see if you can boot just from cd [04:49] jumpaholic, then re-enable things one at a time til it breaks. then go back one [04:49] Theaxiom: np. the one thing i saw aptana do recently that i have a need for, is rails. [04:49] kc8pxy, Theaxiom you know there is a channel for random chatter right [04:50] hwilde_: didn't realize i was chattering inanely. [04:50] lol [04:50] are you asking for ubuntu support [04:50] or are you comparing and contrasting php/html/css editor environments [04:50] !offtopic [04:50] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[04:55] carandraug: no luck, still no response [04:55] lone-soldier: I've found it [04:55] some new developments about my "fake" Samsung DVD burner: [04:55] hey guys everytime i load up aim in pidgin it closes out and wont run again [04:55] lone-soldier: it's a raid problem. take a look at this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#Troubleshooting [04:56] carandraug: reading now [04:56] if i take it to a Windows machine, it reads a CD very well (on Linux it can't read that CD well) [04:56] G3N0: i've no prob wif mine [04:56] hwilde_ : sudo apt-get install (application) [04:56] lone-soldier: read the last line of cannot boot into ubuntu. It's a RAID thing. While Ubuntu is okay with RAID, Wubi is not [04:56] salaz: i know it was running fine like a week ago now its doing this [04:56] i have a problem when start the liveCD of Ubuntu http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2FyA-_qbnaM/SLDaBziSI-I/AAAAAAAAAC4/cKa-_lUuBwQ/s1600-h/DSC00003.jpg [04:56] usser, just wanted to let you know I followed everything there was to follow about the ubuntu nvidia driver issue and nothing worked. I installed envyng and worked perfect... [04:56] salaz: anyway i can reinstall pidgin? [04:56] help [04:57] sudo apt-get remove pidgin ?? [04:57] carandraug te disse que era ruim! :( [04:58] timboy, glad something worked [04:58] G3N0: juz go to application > add/remove/ choose internet [04:58] hwilde_ : do you know why this is happening? [04:59] hwilde_: when I try to install or update my system or any application, this error happens [05:00] carandraug: yeah i thought that raid would be the issue, so now i have an unmovable and unusable copy of linux. any thoughts on when will version 8.10 will be released [05:02] lol, as far as i can tell, everything is disabled... i even unplugged the hard drive and the live cd still dumps to an (initramfs) command prompt... [05:02] oh well, there's always windows i guess [05:02] is freaked out by that comment [05:02] lone-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) [05:03] jumpaholic: are you running new hardware? [05:03] Anyway, how come I cannot access virtual desktops that are on a seperate row than the one I'm on? [05:04] danbhfive, not really... AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ is the cpu.... [05:04] danbhfive, it all worked fine with gutsy [05:04] the upgrade to hoary hosed it [05:04] hi [05:04] jumpaholic: you mean hardy [05:04] danbhfive, here's my thread on the subject: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5652564 [05:04] uh, hardy, yes [05:05] hey [05:05] i need help with my ubuntu installation [05:06] does ubuntu have the feature of allowing me to suck my own dick? [05:06] How come I can't use more than one row of virtual desktops? I can have up to 16 columns but when I set more than one row, I can't access the others [05:06] anyone have used glade?? [05:06] z3wb: What do you need help with? [05:06] i need someone to show me how to suck my own dick [05:06] get a life [05:06] jumpaholic: can you use a gutsy livecd? You could at least recover your data then... [05:06] z3wb: wth? [05:07] i have the basic position down [05:07] just flip my legs over my head [05:07] but my dick is just an inch shy of reaching my mouth [05:07] Dude, gtf off this channel [05:07] carandraug: ok it looks like a wait till october then, thanks for the help [05:07] cya everyone [05:08] Go spam 4chan will ya? [05:08] danbhfive, if i used a gutsy live cd would there be some way to degrade to gutsy? [05:08] what is 4chan? [05:08] i've never heard of it [05:08] at least there you'll find retards of the same magnitude [05:08] i just got the internet last week [05:08] chan for u =suckers [05:09] anyone have used glade?? [05:09] hey jumpaholic, just read your thread. Man, not a whole lot of help being supplied there. I'd have to look up info on grub to see what options you have for specifying mount points [05:09] jumpaholic: I think so, I would make a separate /home partition, and then just install a fresh gutsy instal [05:09] lone-soldier: no problem. I'm looking for something to uninstall it with RAID. Have you tried wubi channel (not sure if they have one) [05:09] z3wb: if you just got the internet then why are you in a big grown up channel like Ubuntu? [05:09] jumpaholic: with a separate /home, you wont have to worry so much about data loss [05:09] whats a good easy-to-use aim client?

[05:16] jumpaholic: I must be reading you wrong -- you get dumped to single user mode even with the HD unplugged? [05:16] jumpaholic: if you get it going soon, let me know, and I can help you with creating that /home.

[05:18] einstein2001, and you are not giving it a /dev/ you command line is totally wrong. [05:18] Pidgin is going through a lot of work right now, so should be improving pretty consistently [05:18] Dr_willis, not really [05:18] well linking the drive would cool but i does not allow [05:18] einstein2001: mount -t vfat /dev/$dev /mount/point ;) [05:18] einstein2001, sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/windows [05:19] unop, mounting a allready mounted mountpoint is correct? [05:19] Dr_willis, he might be wanting to bind /media/340GBIATCH to another directory [05:19] he could remount it or bind it [05:19] thats so recursive im confusing myself. :) [05:19] jumpaholic: What errors are you getting from the LiveCD? [05:19] einstein2001, sudo mount -o bind /media/340GBIATCH /path/to/new_mount_point [05:19] my external auto mounts to /media but i at least want a link in my home folder [05:19] how do i install Gyachi? [05:19] then again using a vfat filesyste for /home - is not a good idea also. [05:19] hwilde: this kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: 0:6 [05:20] einstein2001: you can make a link to the dir on your desktop [05:20] how do i install Gyachi in the terminal? [05:20] Dr_willis, i think he said ~/home .. which is not /home [05:20] einstein2001: that will showup all the time, but it will only show files onces its mounted [05:20] squidly...do you know why only desktop? [05:20] ShutterBC, no errors, just dumps me to the shell [05:20] unop, thats also a bit confusing. :) he has a /home/user/home? but now we are all confused.. heh [05:20] So how can I access other rows of virtual desktops? [05:20] hi, I just update my ubuntu hardy and now I'm getting a kernel panic I think. I've not updated hardy since it's release and now I'm stuck at "Starting Linux" followed by "Init: 109237218031298123gkj321312" or something to that effect. I can't get in because of the panic.

[05:25] ShutterBC, not to mention the legality. :) === etotheipi is now known as E5A908B7 [05:26] I said "complications", yes :) [05:26] i want gyachi [05:26] hehehe [05:26] Hi 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.jpg [05:26] slammed87d21: so you downloaded the source? untar it, ./configure && make && make install [05:26] hehe true, well thanks guys and good luck getting linux out there :) You defenitly got my attention for a while :) [05:27] carandraug: have you tried the alternate install CD? [05:27] slammed87d21, you will need to have the 'build-essential' package and perhaps otehr *-dev packages installed for that to compile properly [05:27] Okay, I've been trying for a little while and I need someone who can answer my question about virtual desktops [05:27] xomp: 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] Its a problem, not just a question [05:28] Eh, well Windows hides the boot prompt, and with things like service packs you can sometimes not even go back. [05:28] pajamian: I'm asking him. He's in this channel but doesn't know english and can't find support on the portuguese channel [05:29] Then again there's an inhuman amount of testing that goes into Windows service packs... Canonical doesn't have that luxury. === SNuxoll_ is now known as SNuxoll [05:29] i often wonder 'how' one goes about doing that testing... [05:30] eh, 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] pajamian: 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 new [05:31] carandraug: 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. === nenolod is now known as nenolod- === nenolod- is now known as nenolod [05:31] Then 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] pajamian: ok. He'll try it anyway and then he'll know. Also, he managed to install debian on it with no problem [05:32] carandraug: notebook being new could mean that there's new hardware in it that the live CD doesn't directly support yet. [05:32] ShutterBC: the whole os IMHO is hacked together [05:32] pa1-cheru, you really should ask questions to the CHANNEL not msging specific users. [05:32] pajamian: I see. Makes sense. Thanks a lot [05:32] Dr_willis: he did that to me too [05:32] carandraug: yw [05:32] and I told him to ask in here [05:32] squidly, and perhaps some day he will figure it out. :) [05:33] Dr_willis: we can hope [05:33] way too many 'man bra' spam messages in here over the last few months.. I got most priv msg's on ignore. :) [05:33] there are some smart people at that big company. But complexity really makes it hard to do certain things. [05:33] lol [05:33] ShutterBC: very true [05:33] Hello, 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 info [05:34] also it monoolithin seup doe snot help eithere [05:34] May you never ever have to try writing a bluetooth driver in Windows. [05:34] lol [05:34] definitely, you could set the 'suid' bit on the the netstat command. But that could be considerd a security risk. [05:35] Dr_willis: Is any other way to make it work then ? [05:35] definitely, or you could alter the sudo configs to allow a user to run that one command as root without needing a password [05:35] pajamian thanks, and sorry for my bad english! [05:35] definitely: I would alter the sudo configs so it can be run with sudo. [05:35] jumpaholic: still around? any further luck? [05:35] Where is sudo configs ? [05:35] definitely, better to setup sudoers to allow this command to be run as root without need for a password [05:35] visudo [05:35] pajamian i go try! and say after [05:35] Sudo has a LOT more features then just 'being the command you type to do rooty things' [05:35] How to setup sudoears to allow this command then [05:35] KennedyNoia: yw [05:36] evening all [05:36] ShutterBC, actually my kid is needing attention... i'll probaly have to give it up for the night [05:36] !visudo | definitely [05:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about visudo [05:36] definitely, To use sudo commands in a script (without prompting for a password), put something like this into the sudoers(5) file: username ALL = NOPASSWD: /some/program [05:36] carandraug: I take it KennedyNoia is the one you were helping? [05:36] but please do watch that thread [05:36] * ShutterBC is finally happy to get VOIP working with Skype for Linux and a yealink phone adapter. Now to make it work with Ekiga... [05:36] pajamian: yes he was. Thanks a lot [05:36] Dr willis: please man what can I do? [05:36] carandraug: yw [05:36] need some help. my 2nd hard drive is showing up at 750gb on my desktop. how do i make it say Storage? [05:36] Cocoabean: Where is that file located ? [05:36] pajamian: he can read english ok but his english is not so good [05:36] definitely, 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.. :) [05:37] carandraug: yep, that makes sense. [05:37] !tab | fabian [05:37] fabian: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [05:37] Dr_Willlis: ok :) [05:37] ok. well, hopefully you can record what happened to your hardware config, jumpaholic. Sounds like that's the direction you'll have to go. [05:37] fabian, about what? [05:37] when i run an update im getting: W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package perl [05:37] W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems [05:37] hwilde: ....... i found the answer, but why would a i386 kernel require PAE? [05:37] how do i fix this? [05:38] Dr_willis, about Hal man [05:38] fabian, I have no idea about hal. its somthing ive never really had to mess with. [05:38] Dr_willis, thank's man [05:38] Dr_willis, :) [05:38] !hal [05:38] For an informative description of the Hardware Abstraction Layer , go to this site : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_abstraction_layer [05:39] :) hal is one of those big areas ive managed to not need to mess with.. yea... [05:39] Dr_willis: same here, IMHO HAL is a pain that we dont really need [05:39] does anybody else here use netflix? [05:40] mattg08: /me [05:40] squidly, i often say the same thing about 'computers' :) [05:40] Dr_willis: lol [05:40] hi [05:41] squidly, what do you use to watch the movies? [05:41] * Guitarplayer001 here [05:42] And here I am all excited that I just discovered PulseAudio... which is kind of a HAL for sound, if you really think about it. [05:42] I have a low end pc that I'm using as a file server with samba. my problem is it's very slow. checking 'top' I see that the bottlenet is the cpu, more specifically, iowait is eating most of it [05:42] mattg08: xine or mythtv [05:43] is there a way to optimize this process? [05:43] * Guitarplayer001 leaving.... [05:43] squidly, okay... [05:43] mattg08: you could use movie player, mplayer and other things [05:44] mattg08: you are talking about dvd's right? [05:44] squidly, no, the "watch instant" online movies [05:44] m_tadeu: wouldn't iowait have to do with the computer serving files? [05:44] mattg08: you cant iirc. They user DRM that is windows only [05:45] okies i've gotta run [05:45] ttyl [05:45] i forget root password what i can do [05:45] so it's impossible [05:45] mattg08: curretly iirc yes [05:45] checck google [05:45] navjot: use sudo [05:45] navjot: it should be your own password [05:46] djhash how [05:46] navjot, by default - there is no root password [05:46] danbhfive: the files are in a usb disk...the usb is 1.1. probably the root of the problem [05:46] unop so how i can log in root [05:46] navjot: i'm not sure if I can mention here exactly the steps on how to reset root password.. unop correct me if i'm wrong.. [05:46] !root | navjot [05:46] navjot: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [05:46] m_tadeu: yeah, if the file io is slow, then whatever program is running it will lockup in iowait [05:47] navjot, sudo -i [05:47] I GOT PIDGIN WORKING! time for #beer [05:47] !help sources.list [05:47] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:47] !supportroot | djhash [05:47] djhash: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [05:47] !sources.list [05:47] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

[05:50] E: Couldn't find package libdb3-util <-- [05:50] djhash: thank you for the service :) [05:50] trask: no problem.. [05:51] does anyone here have experience using truecrypt from the shell? (I can't find any documentation on the current version for how to use it on the shell) [05:51] danbhfive: I see...upgrading is impossible...harddrive is new...external with usb [05:51] I'm wondering if anyone has used Ekiga as a VoIP phone system [05:51] hey guys, could anyone here help with direct rendering? [05:51] Hamled: I have, yes [05:52] m_tadeu: why is it usb1 then? why isnt it 2?

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] mattg08, uhumm [05:56] how do I configure my xorg.conf to allow for refresh rates of 100 [05:56] which my monitor allows in windows XP [05:57] ShutterBC, turns out if you just specify --filesystem=none it will map it without trying to mount [05:58] wers: wait a sec, it should do it automatically [05:58] In WinXp I have no problems getting refresh rates of 100 [05:58] how do I do that here? [05:58] i am part of the dev team for PCLinuxOS "I won and run www.GetPCLinuxIS.com" but I am dissapointed in their support and community and I am lookign for a new distro to hop with witha great community and support... i was wondering what you guys think if I switch to Ubunto and made GetPCLinuxOS.com into a pointing site for my new site which would be GetUbunto.com and have it offer the 3 major versions of Ubunto... [05:59] Does anyoe know [05:59] own^ [05:59] ahhh someone sent me a stupid link and it wouldn't let me close my browser, so I had to killall firefox in console, and the song is still playing!!! what do I do? [05:59] corvette, Install the proper video card drivers for a start? [05:59] It did [05:59] I just bought a new cd and it will not play in anything on Ubuntu. So I ran it through VLC in wine to simulate windows. and it worked. Does anyone know of a freeware windows app to extract that cd?

[06:02] ZlNG: you're part of a dev team for an OS? Or a web developer? [06:02] Who/why would someone go to 'getWHATEVER.com' anyway :) [06:02] ZlNG: unless you know what you're doing with the OS, I highly doubt that it'll happen [06:02] well 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 support [06:02] i am part of the web dev team [06:02] Dr_willis: don't ask Mozilla that one :) [06:02] m_tadeu: maybe this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822108006R [06:02] ZlNG: got some logs of that?

Heh [06:03] ZlNG: from what channels? [06:03] the reason istarted the getpclinuxos project was if you go to www.PCLinuxOS.com you would thin it was nothing but a magazine site [06:03] Is there any way to reset and stop all sound on the computer?

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.

[06:07] crimsun: no vol control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found [06:07] that error [06:07] Theaxiom: must be another child process that broke off [06:07] ShutterBC, ok [06:07] I think I figured it out [06:07] I had to add something to xorg.conf [06:07] thanks [06:07] m_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 suck [06:07] ShutterBC, 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 :/) [06:08] hello all. i was successful of having ubuntu 8.04 recognize my a4tech pk-635m webcam. my problem is the chirping sound when i start capturing from the webcam. anyone can help me on this?

After a couple of seconds, all the lights on my 2Wire router shut off and restart again, and Ubuntu fails to connect and brings up the "passkey needed" dialog again. [06:08] Any way to test the memory? [06:08] thedlw: yeah, use the livecd [06:09] change RAM [06:09] thedlw: run a memory test and media integrity test [06:09] ShutterBC, perhaps .. or corrupt binary/supporting libraries .. but, how is sh segfaulting? [06:09] from the ubuntu cd? [06:09] ok [06:09] yep [06:09] i had never seen /bin/sh die like that [06:09] i was kind of baffled [06:10] naruttebayo: sounds like you DoSed your router :) [06:10] aliciapg: can you run this command, please? wget -O /tmp/alsa-info.sh "http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh" [06:10] naruttebayo: WEP or WPA?

[06:28] kristerj, there are also some myth channel you know: one is #ubuntu-mythtv [06:28] hi TRoz [06:28] yeah...its a linker complaint so i thought somebody in here may know, but i'll give that a shot next [06:29] is anyone hungry [06:29] kristerj, sudo apt-get build-dep mythtv # should install all the libraries you need to build mythtv [06:29] unop: good idea, ill give it a shot [06:29] InvincibleCory, this is not the chat channel.

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] cpx, what java runtime do you have? [06:31] ShutterBC: How can I tell? [06:31] ShutterBC: It's probably the latest, anyways. [06:31] hi [06:31] ShutterBC, 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 mount [06:32] cpx: java -v [06:32] aliciapg: "tried"? How did it fail to save the file to your desktop? [06:32] please help me [06:32] crimsun: that's what i was wondering! [06:32] or... in Firefox browse to about:plugins [06:32] ShutterBC: Unrecognized option: -v [06:32] Could not create the Java virtual machine. [06:32] unop: lemme check [06:32] er, I'm losing it. java -version [06:32] ShutterBC: Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0-b105 [06:33] Why '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] crimsun; aliciapg wget may work better? [06:33] I'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] cpx: 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 :) [06:34] ShutterBC: That's cool. Thanks anyways. [06:34] Same problem flash doesnt work here either [06:34] why my Xchat-gnome no sound ? [06:34] So anyone else know why firefox crashes whenever a page uses Java? [06:34] cpx: anyway, check /var/log/messages for any errors [06:34] bastid_raZor: the first command I gave her used wget [06:35] cpx: 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] unop: you were right...src repo wasnt enabled...its installing the dependencies now [06:35] ShutterBC: Seems whenever ff crashes, this appears: [06:35] crimsun; ahh, i jumped in late.

If it had an error would it have halted? [06:35] What is the ubuntu development IRC (if there is one?) [06:36] a no-op. basically, nothing. [06:36] Oh. [06:36] PauloRicardo, in the second case - who runs the command, root or the user? [06:36] thedlw: yeah, so looks like your memory is good. how about the media check? [06:36] i'll do that in a sec [06:36] i have to wait for it crash first [06:36] before i can reboot [06:37] unop: Both executed as root. ;) [06:37] thedlw: 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] PauloRicardo, who owns the directory containing that file? [06:37] 123456 [06:37] halo [06:38] unop: Hmm... the user. o.O [06:38] PauloRicardo, maybe now you get the clue :) [06:39] anyone on here have quake3?

[07:12] nop i running a regular Hardy installation [07:12] pajamian, I guess I am [07:13] Let me close those and see if it helps [07:13] cached, find /somewhere -name '*.jpg' -o -name '*.png' -print0 | xargs -0 morgify [07:13] lars_ : there is an easier way to do it [07:13] adrenaline: if you have a lot of open Firefox windows or tabs that can do it. [07:13] Hi, I need some help to solve a " subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 20" message during app installation [07:13] yeah kristerj? [07:13] lovinglinux, paste the entire output you have there - including command you used to a !pastebin [07:13] lars_ : we just need to figure out where those classes are kept and then when you run javac, you can specify the that folder [07:14] Thanks pajamian I will see if that helps [07:14] adrenaline: yw [07:14] hehe TY [07:14] lars_ : so instead of "javac somefile" you would type "javac -classpath /folder/with/class_library somefile" [07:14] but you would have to type the -classpath bit every time [07:14] which file specifically am I looking for? [07:15] kristerj? [07:15] kristerj, I didn't use a command. The message is the result of a lirc app during --config process, now every time I try to install someting using the Add/remove manager I get this message [07:15] doesn't javac respect the CLASSPATH env. var? [07:15] Does anyone here have know DBUS pretty well/ [07:15] unop : yes, i think so [07:15] sara if you deleted your files you probably aren't going to get them back === user1_ is now known as randallS [07:16] lars_ : i just installed the jdk, im trying to figure out where the standard library classes are by default [07:16] is there a way to find out when the hourly cron job runs [07:16] jinksys: in what sense? (the API or setting up the daemon?) [07:16] lovinglinux, paste the output of this command then. sudo aptitude install -f [07:16] pajamian, I do have a crap lappy so you are probably right [07:16] adrenaline: how much RAM does it have? [07:16] I do have 2 gig of ram tho [07:16] tgm4883_laptop, it runs at the time you set it to run .. the point of cron is to be specific about times :) [07:16] lovinglinux: what happens if you type: sudo apt-get install -f === randallS is now known as crapAlert [07:17] !recover | sara [07:17] sara: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html [07:17] unop, but what about files inside cron.daily [07:17] crdlb: the dbus page says that the only dependency is an xml parser. I was wondering if the messages are in XML format, or it needs that for parsing configuration files [07:17] unop, err, cron.hourly i mean [07:17] tgm4883_laptop: see /etc/crontab [07:17] adrenaline i dont delete some files i only chose option to clean the list unger places recent ducuments [07:17] tgm4883_laptop: /etc/cron.hourly/ [07:17] sara, specifically for firefox, there is some backups in your .mozilla directory. [07:18] tgm4883_laptop, see /etc/crontab [07:18] here is the pastie http://pastie.org/258837.txt [07:18] mosionsare i rely dont care about the files i want it to start logging again [07:18] Flannel, Gnea unop while crontab is great, AFAIK it cannot do what I want, and all I want to know is when the cron.hourly cron jobs start [07:18] sara what do you mean logging specifically [07:19] tgm4883_laptop, repeat, see /etc/crontab [07:19] lovinglinux: try sudo apt-get remove lirc [07:19] Gnea, ok I will try [07:19] sara: sudo dpkg --remove lirc [07:20] sara: then run "sudo apt-get --fix-broken install" again [07:20] pajamian i tray [07:20] unop, ah I see now thanks, and you too Flannel [07:20] are there any good mmorpgs for Ubuntu ? free ones? [07:21] XML and DBUS, anyone? [07:21] jinksys: as far as I know, XML is only used for the configuration files and also for introspection information. A service can offer an XML string containing all its methods and signals so that clients can can examine the interface. [07:21] unop, when I do that I get this: grep: warning: /home/joe/.ies4linux/ie6/drive_c/windows/profiles/richard/My Documents: recursive directory loop and it's been sitting there since you sent me that command... think it's doing something?\ [07:21] pajamian dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove lirc which isn't installed. [07:21] gemini1992: tmw, you can also install and run eternal lands fairly easily [07:22] Gnea, it worked. Thanks a lot. [07:22] lovinglinux: cheers [07:22] sara: sorry, that wan't for you, I was telling lovinglinux [07:22] 2d ones? my connection aint great === crapAlert is now known as prick [07:22] pajamian haha ok [07:22] I'm going to delete windows now.... === prick is now known as monsterA [07:22] :D [07:23] lovinglinux: never look back ;-) [07:23] crdlb: excellent, thanks [07:23] Gnea, I'm serious :-) [07:23] jinksys: but the dbus daemon doesn't really care about that introspection data (it just passes it from the service to the client like any other data), so the daemon probably only uses an xml parser for the configuration [07:23] lovinglinux: been there, done that. ;) [07:23] pajamian: I won't [07:23] adrenaline what i was doing whas to open places then i chose clean ore something in recent documents [07:24] lovinglinux: do you need infrared remote control support? [07:24] Gnea: the last thing that was holding me back was my TV card, but today I managed to make it work [07:24] crdlb: I ask because I am looking for a good IPC method and it seems DBUS has been getting high marks and seems pretty solid. However someone told me that it uses XML for its messages, so it has bad performance. [07:24] joebob777as7, hmm .. probably not .. but wait another 5 minutes or so [07:24] pajamian: would be nice [07:24] adrenaline: 2 gig should be plenty of RAM. [07:24] lovinglinux: that's what lirc does. [07:24] pajamian: I have a Pinnacle remote [07:25] lovinglinux: ok, then I would recommend trying to install lirc again, but run "sudo apt-get clean" first. [07:25] jinksys: "D-Bus is low-overhead because it uses a binary protocol, and does not have to convert to and from a text format such as XML" from http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html [07:25] jinksys: the real experts are in #dbus though :) [07:25] what program can i use to combine mini dvd into a dvd? [07:26] crdlb: it's crickets in there :) [07:26] lirit: you mean DVD authoring? [07:26] no help [07:26] pajamian: yes [07:26] lirit: I use devede for that. [07:26] pajamian: what this command do? [07:26] jinksys: well, they _are_ there, even if they're sleeping :> [07:26] kristerj, any luck? [07:27] crdlb: well you answered all my questions, thanks a lot! [07:27] lovinglinux: it clears out the .deb files from the downloaded package cache. Basically forces apt to download the packages again. Good if they might be corrupt. [07:27] when i installed ubuntu 8.04 it came with kernel 2.6.16 but has updated to 2.6.19 however both kernels show up in my boot menu... i dont like this... how do i remove the old kernel from the boot menu ? [07:27] how do i check how much ram i have using ubuntu? [07:27] lars_ : still looking...sorry.. [07:27] computer meminfo [07:27] no prob kristerj [07:27] k thnx [07:28] pajamian: do I need to add lirc after that command? [07:28] lovinglinux: no, it will remove all the .deb files. [07:28] is there a grammar checker on open office? [07:28] computer sorry... you have to do this: cat /proc/meminfo [07:28] pajamian: all of them? :-) [07:28] <{Stinger}> Omoikane: there is.. [07:28] k [07:28] thnx [07:28] {stinger} I am unable to find it. [07:29] If I use GParted to delete the Windows partition (which is on another disc) it will still be listed on Grub right? [07:29] lovinglinux: 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] pajamian: nice, thanks [07:29] this 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] lovinglinux: yes, it will still be in grub. You will want to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove it. [07:30] wtfunk: of course you can get to a console [07:30] wtfunk: ctrl-alt-F1 [07:30] pajamian: that doesnt work , [07:30] <{Stinger}> Omoikane, choose Tools -> SpellCheck.. [07:30] pajamian: can I do that with Star-up Manager? [07:30] lovinglinux: I don't know. [07:31] {stinger} Oh, that's a spellchecker. I need a grammar checker. [07:31] pajamian: should I delete the partition first and the edit the grub or otherwise? [07:31] wtfunk: well that's how you get to the console in ubuntu, or most linux distros for that matter. [07:31] lovinglinux: doesn't really matter. [07:32] i know that. thats why its so annoying [07:32] <{Stinger}> Oh... sorry [07:32] <{Stinger}> confused that :) [07:32] pajamian: thanks. the clean command didn't returned any message, is that right? [07:32] wtfunk: how about you back up and tell us what happened that has gotten you so frustrated? [07:32] lovinglinux: yep [07:32] unop, not doing anything... :( [07:32] pajamian: do I need to do an update or upgrade? === lumbang is now known as one_fira [07:33] lovinglinux: you will know it worked because when you "sudo apt-get install lirc" it will download it again. [07:33] hi, anyone using vmware fusion for ubuntu? [07:33] lovinglinux: no, not really, but you can if you want. [07:33] pajamian: ok, I thought it would start downloading all packeges after the clean command :-) [07:33] pomada, virtualbox is what I use. always wanted to try vmware fusion though... [07:34] lars_ : how did you install the jdk? [07:34] pajamian: 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 heh [07:34] lovinglinux: 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. [07:35] wtfunk: I think you can uninstall the GUI if you want. [07:35] wtfunk, then use the minimal installer and only choose non xserver stuff [07:35] !minimal | wtfunk [07:35] wtfunk: 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 [07:35] kristerj, using the JDK bin off of Sun's site [07:35] i cant - my girlfriend needs a graphical webbrowser to do her homework ;/ [07:35] wtfunk: I think it's apt-get remove GTK [07:35] quick question. Where do you put the .png file for a login screen? [07:35] errr gtk (lowercase) [07:35] pajamian: another error message http://pastie.org/258838.txt [07:35] wtfunk, disable the login manager? [07:35] can i just killall gwm or something? [07:35] wtfunk: ahhh, ok, well you should be able to get a console login with ctrl-alt-F1 [07:36] then use screen and irssi [07:36] lars_ : try installing it from the command-line via sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk and i think it just might set those variables for you [07:36] wtfunk:try killall gdm [07:36] pajamian: _should_ yes... i wish i could just kill -9 the pid of my windowmanager get to a console then type startx when my gf needs the machine for school [07:36] ok arpy i will [07:36] brb [07:36] or kdm for that matter [07:37] kristerj, will that overwrite what I have? Because I don't want three sets of the JDK/JDE on my computer and all the complications that come with having multiples [07:37] no procs killed. [07:37] wtfunk: there is a way to do that one sec. [07:37] lovinglinux: one sec [07:37] what does ps aux|grep gdm [07:37] ps aux | grep ? [07:37] show? [07:37] pajamian: == teh coolest++ [07:37] pajamian: np [07:38] lovinglinux, it should show you a command to reconfigure it. [07:38] Do you have any idea how many running proc's will show up if you grem gnome - or kde on a psaux? [07:38] lars_ : yes, it will [07:38] s/grem/grep/ [07:38] wtfunk:are you running kde|kdm or gnome|gdm? what login manager? [07:38] lars_ : sorry, it will install a "duplicate" [07:38] Gnome [07:38] pajamian: I will try again [07:38] lovinglinux: are you trying to install the same .deb file? or did you clean it and redownload? [07:38] lovinglinux: in redhat based linux distros gdm is launched depending on the runlevel, as you probably know, in debian-based distros it's different ... [07:38] errr [07:38] that was for wtfunk [07:38] wtfunk: in redhat based linux distros gdm is launched depending on the runlevel, as you probably know, in debian-based distros it's different ... [07:39] kristerj, should I just go in and delete everything Java I already have on there? [07:39] wtfunk:grep it and findout [07:39] lars_ : it looks like sun's choice of file location is different than apt-get so it will put it somewhere else [07:39] yarrr. help. [07:39] !ask | RifleEyes [07:39] RifleEyes: 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. :-) [07:39] !ask | RifleEyes [07:39] wtfunk: debian based distros use the SYSV init script to run gdm [07:39] arpy you do it and see why your answer isnt reasonable ;] [07:39] lars_ : try one more thing first - go to places -> computer -> file system -> usr -> local === one_fira is now known as waone [07:39] i have vista and xp installed on my hard drive, with all stuff partitioned. can only boot into xp, and am trying to install ubuntu but it doesn't see my partitions. [07:40] wtfunk: so all you have to do is disable the service ... there's a program to do that, one min ... [07:40] lars_ : look for jdk in there [07:40] wtfunk:i c 1 [07:40] wtfunk, not that bad, only 11 [07:40] Gnea: yes, cleaned and redownloaded [07:40] RifleEyes: regular ubuntu or wubi? [07:40] just regular i think. i'm on the livecd now [07:41] * wtfunk poors a shot of vodka [07:41] sheesh [07:41] lovinglinux: what happens if you: sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/lirc-yadayada.deb ? [07:41] hi. 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] kristerj, no JDK in there [07:41] wtfunk: 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] RifleEyes: ah - are you sure you're going to be able to resize? or are you replacing vista? [07:41] lars_ : any java or sun folders? [07:41] Would NFS be the simplest way to setup a file server that only served linux machines? [07:41] buon giorno [07:41] Gnea, I don't know what to put in the "yadayada" place. Don't know the version :-) [07:42] Gnea: resize what? [07:42] no kristerj, I believe I set them up in a different place when I executed the .bin [07:42] installing now pajamian [07:42] wtfunk: once you've turned the service off you should boot to a console login and can then manually start the GUI with startx (I think) [07:42] come faccc io ad installare i plugins java su un 64 bit? [07:42] lars_ : do you remember where? [07:42] lovinglinux: heh, just type /var/cache/apt/archives/lirc- [07:42] wtfunk: lovinglinux: I have to go upstairs for dinner. bbl [07:42] RifleEyes: the partition... you really didn't say how you wanted to do it [07:43] Gnea: i have all my .partitions set up. i did it a few hours ago in Gparted [07:43] Gnea, I need to familiarize o with tab complete, nice tip [07:43] yeah, kirsterj: I have all the java stuff right infront of me now [07:43] Gnea: ubuntu just sees "unallocated" now after i've installed xp on one of the partitions [07:43] wow i wonder if pajamian is like a 15 year old kid schooling me on linux [07:43] id feel so owned [07:43] unop, did you bail? [07:43] lars_ : wait, so you know where the jdk class library is installed? [07:43] RifleEyes: how did you partition them? [07:44] sure do kristerj, all I really need is instruction on how to set the classpath [07:44] joebob777as7, from my experience unop doesn't bail, he might just be afk. [07:44] wtfunk: LoL, nope, 35 [07:44] lars_ : oh wow [07:44] lars_ : i did not realize that [07:44] anyone using vmware fusion? [07:44] lars_ : ouch [07:44] Gnea: i left the original vista partition in tact but resized it smaller, made an ntfs for xp, enlarged the extended partition, made an ext2 and a swap [07:44] !patience | joebob777as7 [07:44] joebob777as7: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [07:45] kristerj...which file am I looking for and how would I set it in the terminal? [07:45] RifleEyes: okay, so 4 primaries? [07:45] Gnea: I feel stupid...I pasted the command into the terminal and hit tab key, but nothing happened. It didn't completed the yadayadyada [07:45] Gnea: correct [07:45] lovinglinux, hit it twice and see if it shows you the possibilities. [07:45] Gnea: another primary not mentioned because its used by lenovo or something [07:45] lovinglinux: okay, 'yadayada' is just a placeholder - it's kind of like saying lirc-* [07:45] Gnea: finalising the total of 4 (i mentioned 3) [07:45] Gnea: nope [07:45] lovinglinux: you don't actually type the * or yadayada :) [07:45] lars_ : well if you know where that /jdk/lib folder is, when you run javac, run it as "javac -classpath whateverjdklibraryis yourfile.class" [07:46] lars_ : if that works === adam is now known as Guest21872 [07:46] Gnea: I know :-) I typed "sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/lirc-" and hit tab key twice [07:46] lovinglinux: you would type: sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/lirc [07:46] Gnea: oh, and the remainder of the extended partition was fat32 [07:46] lovinglinux: oh ok :) [07:46] Gnea: :-) :-) :-) [07:46] hey all [07:46] hi. I am using intrepid, and having trouble with thunderbird [07:47] lars_ : run sudo gedit /etc/environment and add a line in there that says CLASSPATH=whateverthejdklibraryfolderwasyouusedearlier [07:47] chronographer, #ubuntu+1 please. [07:47] ok [07:47] RifleEyes: making sure that the partition types are correctly set makes a big difference - 83 and 82, respectively. [07:47] Gnea: 83 and 82 what? [07:47] gigawatts [07:47] !homosexual | Gnea [07:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about homosexual [07:48] !language | joebob777as7 [07:48] joebob777as7: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [07:48] Gnea: so what does this means? I don't have the files in the cache? [07:48] lovinglinux: maybe not... try a: sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get install lirc [07:48] 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... [07:49] lars_ : 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 file [07:49] kristerj, one sec...this is all new to me so I might need to play around for a minute [07:49] 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!! [07:50] RifleEyes: 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] Gnea: the result...http://pastie.org/258844.txt [07:50] Gnea: fat32 for a common drive between the 3 systems [07:51] 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-get [07:51] RifleEyes: i would use ntfs, since ubuntu can do full read/write support with it, but that's fine [07:51] lovinglinux: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 20 [07:51] Gnea: wasn't aware of this support. [07:52] Gnea: yes, that is the message I get every time I try to install lirc [07:52] btw; is there a way of doing encrypted drives that windows will recognise? [07:52] !ntfs-3g | RifleEyes [07:52] RifleEyes: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [07:52] plz hlp, installed Secret Mayo Chronicles from source into Feisty, not only is game a little choppy, even in min res from x with no wm on a 3 gig machine, but when you exit, system logs you out. Any suggestions on where to look for troubleshoot log info to track down prob to fix? [07:53] zcat[1]: maybe truecrypt not positive tho [07:53] Gnea: my two partitions for linux are 82 and 83 [07:53] It works :> pajamian==awesome [07:53] zcat[1], truecrypt with a fat or ntfs partition in it will work. [07:53] RifleEyes: good. what method are you using in the installer for doing the disk partitioning? advanced? [07:53] how to unzip zip file [07:54] ! zip [07:54] arf.

[07:54] RifleEyes: is that on the same computer you're using to irc with? [07:54] <|2-bits|> how do I add new screensavers for ubuntu? For that matter where do I get them? [07:54] Gnea: yes. [07:54] hischild: cool. just installing easycrypt now.. I figured out how to set up luks but I don't think windows will recognise that (I don't have windows to test either.. will have to set up something for that next) [07:55] brb [07:55] zcat[1], i've used truecrypt with succes in the past so i know it works. [07:55] zcat[1], anyway good luck :) [07:56] RifleEyes: 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 it [07:56] just got ubuntu 8 on my new compaq presario F700 and with a little messing got every thing to work [07:56] hmm... no truecrypt package in the repos?! [07:56] hay [07:56] indonesia nih [07:56] zcat[1], no you have to get it from their site.

[08:12] where can I find any logs to find out atleast why its crashing so I can submit a bug report [08:12] djhash: i will install the vmware tools first to see what happen..

[08:17] randomly... [08:17] kristerj, http://paste.ubuntu.com/40091/ [08:17] RifleEyes, hmm ... it's odd that the installer isn't working. The output would be useful yes.

I also tried the envyng driver and that also crashed [08:54] okay heres the error [08:54] hischild: these are my Windows entries http://pastie.org/258852.txt can I delete all section? [08:54] Could not find kernel image: cli [08:54] lovinglinux, yes, those are safe to remove. === tolga_ is now known as Kartagis === ce_jomblo_18 is now known as ce_luchhu_lg_cen [08:55] hischild any ideas? [08:55] Hey guys, if you can't solve this, don't worry, I'll post on the forums instead. I've managed to delete the menu bar at the top of the screen in Hardy. I managed to get it back, but I can't add any of the folders it used to have (applications etc) and the add to panel thing doesn't have the stuff I want. Any way to reset this back to defaults? [08:55] BonezAU, hmm ... although i can't say i'm really surprised that envy generated an error, it's odd that your card isn't working then. [08:55] ok I would like to stop nautilus opening everytime i put a cd in ? [08:55] ahboi, a type? [08:55] a type? [08:55] ahboi: looks like the label "cli" is missing in isolinux.cfg on the alternate cd [08:55] yea how can i add that [08:56] ahboi, *typo [08:56] hischild, yes I think I will give it another shot tonight. [08:56] ahboi: you can't. the file is read only on the cd [08:56] BonezAU, GL :) i'll be online probably, i'd like to see how it turns out [08:56] montymintypie_, I had this problem once and after adding the menu bar back, I had to manually add every single menu and icon back to it [08:56] hischild: THANK YOU! I'm almost Windows free now. Just need to get rid of my virtualbox :-) [08:56] ahboi: maybe they renamed the label and the message is not updated [08:56] rtz3673 its actually editable :) isotostick is nice [08:56] how would i get a file path into a variable? (bash script) === omar1 is now known as Omar87 [08:56] hischild, cheers man :) i'll just toast this CD, reboot & install :D === Farhadix_ is now known as Farhadix [08:57] BonezAU, GL :) doing gentoo atm myself, lovely install process [08:57] Where do you find the folder (applications, preferences etc) adder thingy (can't think of a better way to phrase it) [08:57] so where can i get a good copy of syslinux.cfg oh wait isolinux.cfg === ce_jomblo_18 is now known as ce_luchu_lg_cend [08:57] ahboi: please pastebin the syslinux.cfg or isolinux.cfg [08:57] !paste | ahboi [08:57] ahboi: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [08:57] aww okay one second [08:58] montymintypie_, I am not using ubuntu right now (just about to reinstall, using windoze) so I can't be of much help. I did do it once before, perhaps ask some others and see if they can help [08:58] hi, what uility can I use to cut of a small part of a mp3 file? [08:58] Gin: audacity [08:58] Also, the notwork monitor in the 'Add to panel' windows isn't the same as the default. [08:59] rtz3673, I have tried it but didn't manage to work with it. [08:59] can a livecd see a usb drive? [08:59] rather, use one [09:00] RifleEyes, should be able to 'access' one. [09:00] Gin: What happened when you tried? [09:00] it wont open or show stuff on it. can it write to it? [09:00] RifleEyes, you may need to manyally mount it. [09:00] dependng on what filesystem is on it. [09:00] montymintypie_, the interface was too complicated. but I'm reading a tutorial [09:00] I dont use the live cd muchif ever. [09:01] i only use it when OSs are dead. [09:01] Gin, try just selecting the bit you want to delete, then press delete [09:01] Then go to file and press 'export to mp3' [09:02] okay here it is :) http://paste.ubuntu.com/40103/ [09:02] Hi can can someone please help get my optical drive working... whenever I try to mount it it fails and I get some errors that appear in dmesg but before doing that I can eject & isoinfo it... after all fails / stops. [09:03] anybody else able to help me find and set the correct classpath so I can use API classes in java? [09:03] ahboi: hmm, no cli section present [09:03] yes i noticed, [09:03] ahboi: i don't have older alternate cds here, so i can't check how that section would look like [09:04] I will see if i can pull something up with google hopefully i can find something [09:04] i was at this for about 6hrs :P [09:04] does NFS have a log file somewhere? [09:04] nfsd rather, from the nfs-kernel-server package [09:05] ahboi: maybe they removed the cli section and you can later choose which system to install [09:05] hey all [09:05] can any one help me? [09:05] Hamled, most services can log to /var/log, and the level of logging is normally setable [09:05] rtz3673, what part do you wish to see? i've got a few around here [09:05] it there any ubuntu user who may help me? [09:05] Dr_willis, the first place I checked [09:05] <_ruben> !anyone [09:05] 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? [09:05] rtz3673 i thought so too but its not the case [09:05] i need to install ubuntu on a thumbdrive [09:05] hischild: actually it is for ahboi. he wants to install command line only system with the alternate cd [09:06] rtz3673, hmm mkay. [09:06] are there any good fixes for flash audio? [09:06] ahboi, what part of what file did you wish to see? i've got some alternate cd's. [09:06] i already installed it by pressing enter and its the usual 8.04 Desktop install [09:06] ahboi: i guess it requires specifying a different *.seed file, but i am not sure [09:06] hischild menu label cli inside isolinux.cfg [09:06] ahboi, CLI is only on the alternate CD's, not on the desktop ones. [09:07] hischild i have alternate 8.04 [09:07] :) [09:07] Hamled, check the nfs server docs and enable more logging would be the next step [09:07] ahboi maybe you know? [09:07] but my isolinux.cfg file lacks the menu option [09:07] ahboi, same here, yet i've installed a cli from it [09:07] dorange [09:08] here type this into google isotostick.sh [09:08] i wanna install ubuntu 804 on a thumbdrive [09:08] Ubuntu bug 804 in eric "Bugged by pyQT api update (dup-of: 803)" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/804 [09:08] Ubuntu bug 803 in eric "Bugged by pyQT api update" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/803 [09:08] ho [09:08] !install | dorange [09:08] dorange: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [09:08] you will need to apt-get install syslinux mtools [09:08] i googled it so many times [09:08] montymintypie_, that worked :) Thanks :-) [09:09] i was able to install many linux disterbutions [09:09] hischild did you see my syslinux.cfg post? it didnt have cli in it. and its the alternate cd [09:09] including mandriva and ubuntu [09:09] but i didnt find what i was looking for [09:09] okay give me a second [09:10] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [09:10] ahboi: maybe your isotostick.sh creates a faulty syslinux.cfg. look at the original isolinux.cfg in the iso. [09:10] aww rtz3673 yea [09:10] good going i think your right. Hey thanks alot [09:11] i need a thumbdrive installtion witch support hebrew and has full kde interface including open office, compiz, internet tools ext [09:12] Hi Guys [09:12] Dorange why dont you roll your own live cd then use the isotostick.sh script to make it bootable [09:12] Anybody using Ubuntu 8.04.1? [09:12] anybody? [09:12] ahboi, i noticed yet that's a desktop, not the alternate. [09:12] !ask | cool_penguin [09:12] cool_penguin: 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. :-) [09:13] cool_penguin: ask more specific, otherwise no one can help you [09:13] oops, sorry. If anybody is using Ubuntu 8.04.1, have you guys seen the system updating itself for the past 1 week>?? [09:14] hischild i think the isotostick modified the syslinux.cfg im looking right now [09:14] My system has not shown me any updates for the past week or 10 days [09:14] I added the command Avant Window Navigator to the session list so this will start avant every time on boot right? [09:14] so i just burn ubuntu to a livecd, and folow the instraction from that site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick? [09:14] When I check for updates manually, it says no updates found [09:15] which leads me to think if i screwed up in some way [09:15] <_coredump_> hmm my debian lenny does update every day, hardy is based on lenny so it should have updates too [09:15] no dude. I have been checking manually for the past 10 days [09:15] and no updates to be seen [09:15] <_coredump_> cool_penguin, apt-get update, apt-get upgrade wont update anything? [09:15] _coredump_: [09:16] _coredump_: ubuntu is not synced to debian [09:16] doing that say 0 found, 0 updates no upgrades in CLI [09:16] ahboi, my alternate has only about 5 lines or so total .. i'd say a "small" difference ;) [09:16] except during development [09:16] and it will have an persisstent loop? [09:16] _coredump_: ubuntu does not use debian packages [09:16] rtz what distro are u using? [09:16] <_coredump_> crdlb, hmm hardy shows same updates as lenny does [09:17] okay let me look [09:17] _coredump_: they only use .deb format, but they software is packaged again for ubuntu [09:17] hischild i dont know its still bad [09:18] 10 days ago, I would always see updates to be available but not anymore [09:18] let me post the iso file name [09:18] ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.iso [09:18] this is the alternate cd right? [09:18] ahboi, hmh .. [09:19] ahboi: yes. look at the isolinux.cfg in that iso [09:19] <_coredump_> rtz3673, so why i see same updates on my lenny laptop and my hardy desktop system? [09:19] ahboi, and when u installed it, it showed you the deskto pstuff? [09:19] I had included medibuntu in the repository list, but later disabled it [09:19] i did still messed up [09:19] thats what I remember doing 10 days ago [09:19] So.... anyone know how to reset the menu bar? I mean FULL reset. Like new, WITHOUT re-installing. Cause I lost it, then got it back. But now I can't get the right stuff back into it. [09:19] hischild yes it installed a gui i couldnt type cli [09:19] _coredump_: don't know. maybe you use debian repos on your hardy install? [09:19] <_coredump_> its simply based n debian, they use there packages for ubuntu [09:19] anybody else able to help me find and set the correct classpath so I can use API classes in java? [09:19] on my laptop it says type cli of command-line base system [09:19] dorange, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [09:20] is there any way to find out if updates are available? [09:20] ahboi, a faster way would be to download the minimal cd and use that [09:20] I know that in the case of Edgy, the update manager was once broken [09:20] dorange, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD/Persistence - I guess if you do both of those ... [09:20] but its not in either the iso i mount -o loop name.iso to /mount and looked the isolinux.cfg is the same as my one on the thumb drive [09:20] ahboi: hmmm [09:20] cool_penguin, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install upgrade ?? [09:21] haiiiiiiiiii [09:21] hischild could you paste the syslinux.cfg on paste.ubuntu.com? please [09:21] doing that say 0 found, 0 updates no upgrades in CLI [09:21] cool_penguin, no install, hehe [09:21] cool_penguin, so 0 updates :-) [09:21] What am I supposed to do when I get a 'dependency is not satisfiable libasound2' when I try to install something? [09:21] cabrioleur, i dont quite get you [09:21] <_coredump_> cool_penguin, maybe you should compare your sources.list with some other hardy user [09:22] I use the GUI called Software sources and check there [09:22] <_coredump_> cool_penguin, maybe your sources.list is messed up === ce_jomblo_18 is now known as ce_luchu === ce_luchu is now known as ce_jomblo_18 [09:22] Yeah, I remember fooling around with that [09:22] Is there anyway, i can fix it? [09:23] <_coredump_> cool_penguin, yeah someone could post his sources.list to a pastebin so yu could compare n fix [09:23] jfksafjksjfksjafks [09:23] Could somebody do that please? [09:23] ahboi, syslinux.cfg or isolinux.cfg? [09:23] What am I supposed to do when I get a 'dependency is not satisfiable libasound2' when I try to install something? By the way my Synaptic says I already have that plugin installed. [09:24] aww isolinux.cfg [09:24] ahboi, sec then :) installin pastebinit [09:24] thank you for this means alot [09:24] :) [09:24] cool_penguin, in terminal: "sudo mv /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/sources.list /etc/apt/" [09:25] ahboi, http://pastebin.com/f6455a226 [09:25] done. What next? === blaylok is now known as blay [09:25] <_coredump_> cool_penguin, apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [09:25] ahboi, and this is my menu.cfg http://pastebin.com/f27ac72cc [09:25] I have a question please. I have two hdd's with the main one running linux. (First install) I can't seem to access the second sata drive and mount it. Can someone help ? [09:26] thank you [09:26] cool_penguin, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [09:26] could you pls tell me what the first command did? [09:26] now its looking up for updates with the apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [09:27] I am now getting E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied) [09:27] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? [09:27] <_coredump_> artiisan, could you pastebin the output from sudo fdisk -l to see your hard drives partitioning? [09:27] cool_penguin, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [09:27] ok, now I get 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [09:28] cool_penguin, then everything is up-to-date [09:28] cabrioleur, could you pls explain what the first command was for? [09:29] sudo mv /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/sources.list /etc/apt/ [09:29] mount [09:29] cabrioleur: why mv and not cp? now the file is removed from /usr/share/doc/apt/examples, but it belongs to a installed pacakage [09:29] audacity, such a great program, but no pulseaudio support. :\ [09:30] hischild which version of ubuntu is this from? im going to try it on my 8.04 see if it works ill just save my orig isolinux.cfg file [09:30] how do i use BT3 while in ubuntu [09:30] rtz3673, because it's 4:30 in the morning. My fault. [09:30] Gin: not even alsa support.... [09:30] cabrioleur: oh okay :) [09:30] ahboi, intrepid, 8.10. Let me check if i have a 8.04 version [09:30] I wonder why. [09:30] cabrioleur, could you pls explain what the first command was for? I mean sudo mv /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/sources.list /etc/apt/ [09:31] can anyone help [09:31] cool_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] ahboi, got one from an 8.04 version. Seems it's indeed quite different. [09:31] Anyone know the equivelent of cellwriter for 6.06 ? [09:31] _coredump_: Disk /dev/sda: 300.0 GB, 300069052416 bytes [09:31] 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 36481 cylinders [09:31] Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes [09:31] Disk identifier: 0xbd014ffb [09:31] Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System [09:31] /dev/sda1 * 1 35348 283932778+ 83 Linux [09:31] artiisan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:32] ahboi, http://pastebin.com/f5abd6a9e is from an amd64 alternate [09:32] so you mean if the original one was messed up, this replaced it with a new copy of sources.list? [09:32] cool_penguin, yes [09:32] please [09:32] aww hischild i386? have one of those [09:32] <_coredump_> cool_penguin, here is another sources.list http://tuxicity.wordpress.com/sourceslist-for-ubuntu-hardy-heron-810/ [09:32] Thanks cabrioleur [09:33] ahboi, hmm i'll dig through my collection ... sec [09:33] I was just beginning to get worried. But looks like the system is up to date. Thanks a lot cabrioleur [09:33] thank you again [09:33] _coredump_: sorry, wasn't sure what you meant by pastebin -I'm new to linux [09:33] ahboi, can't find one :( sorry ... [09:33] i have this vim syntax file http://paste.ubuntu.com/40106/ My qustion is , how can i make the start and end delimiters (<% and %>) be highlighed when used in a string like for example

test

[09:34] <_coredump_> artiisan, http://paste.ubuntu.com put it there [09:34] th3_Kid: is that a forum? [09:34] its okay im going to see if ubuntu has one in the archives i doubt it though [09:34] cool_penguin, you can use the file from _coredump_ as well, it has more repositories with "restricted, backports" etc. as well. [09:34] _coredump_: hardy heron 810? what kind of crap site is that? [09:34] hischild, thank you again [09:34] would that help? [09:34] <_coredump_> rtz3673, dont know but the sources.list is alright [09:35] _coredump_: okay [09:35] Th3_Kid: is that a forum? [09:35] _coredump_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/40109/ [09:35] <_coredump_> rtz3673, google output crap ;) [09:35] _coredump_: usually i don't like these low quality blog based ubuntu tips [09:35] _coredump_: ubuntu wiki is more accurate in most cases [09:36] What am I supposed to do when I get a 'dependency is not satisfiable libasound2' when I try to install something? By the way my Synaptic says I already have that plugin installed. [09:36] hischild: are you still reading this? [09:36] lovinglinux, yes i am [09:36] morning 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 fine [09:36] MilanoCollection, check what version is required. [09:36] _coredump_: yeah. a pity that source-o-matic is gone. [09:36] <_coredump_> artiisan, so your second hdd has one ntfs partition sdb1 [09:37] davetarmac, with no problems whatsoever. [09:37] hischild: 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] cabrioleur: mind if I ask how you did it - software/settings? [09:38] cabrioleur: by the way - I'm on a VPN connection to the network [09:38] lovinglinux, you have to chown the drive. shall we let it mount at the right location first every time you boot? [09:38] davetarmac, realvnc on linux side, and chicken on mac. [09:39] hi, 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 do [09:39] cabrioleur: can it not be done through the default screen sharing on the 10.4 server? [09:39] scream_sayonara: well u need to make your windows the default gateway [09:39] <_coredump_> davetarmac, you tried forwarding X through ssh with ssh -X ? [09:40] anybody else able to help me find and set the correct classpath so I can use API classes in java? [09:40] hischild: sorry, English is not my first language. What you mean with chown? [09:40] _coredump_:http://paste.ubuntu.com/40112/ [09:40] where is the ruby core documentation located in ubuntu? [09:40] davetarmac, sure it can. Personal preference. It's the same protocol, so it does not metter which one you are using. [09:40] well ok, but essentially if i can get it working inside windows, i want to think about just tsaking windows off altogether [09:40] Does ubuntu server allow remote upgrade? [09:40] this is great from what i have found, Everyone has the same file structure as mine. Now im completely lost. [09:40] _coredump_: I haven't yet, no [09:40] how do you make windows the default gatewy [09:40] cabrioleur & coredump. You guys rock !!!! [09:40] scream_sayonara: ? did you use vmware or any virtualisation? [09:40] Can you REMOTE UPGRADe a ubuntu system? [09:41] I used the file from _coredump and now I am able to see 26 updates available [09:41] thank you, cool_penguin [09:41] no i havent done anything, when i got ubuntu on my desktop, the connection just worked [09:41] <_coredump_> artiisan, your ntfs drive had an unclean state, you have to do sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb1 before you can mount it [09:41] so i thought it would be the same on my laptop [09:41] scream_sayonara: wait... so you installed ubuntu normally? [09:41] <_coredump_> artiisan, be sure you have ntfsprogs installed [09:41] i have one last question. Why was the new file from coredumb better than what I had initially? [09:42] lovinglinux, it's a command. If you execute this command ==> sudo chown : /media/ 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] is there a way to check if the wireless drivers are installed? [09:42] hischild: nevermind I found is chmod [09:42] scream_sayonara: then forget about default gateway [09:42] well i installed it *inside vista [09:42] hischild: nevermind I found the meaning "chmod" [09:42] scream_sayonara: well then you have virtualisation [09:42] cool_penguin, it had more repositories in it (more servers to fetch software from, more software in general). [09:42] oops, double post [09:42] whats that mean [09:42] lovinglinux, no, that's the wrong command. I really meant chown. chmod changes permissions on the file, where chown changes the owner [09:42] _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 advance [09:43] is backport repository harmful for the system? [09:43] scream_sayonara: that a host os (vista) embedds your os (ubuntu) [09:43] <_coredump_> artiisan, be sure you have ntfsprogs installed [09:43] hischild: I need something like sudo chmod /home/media/disk1... [09:43] cool_penguin, might be. It's not harmful, but you can expect more bugs than standard repositories. [09:43] lovinglinux, what's ur username? [09:43] hischild: caio [09:43] scream_sayonara: most likely with vmware or vitualbox [09:43] well I can SSH in no problem, but the -X atribute didn't seem to work [09:43] oh then I should disable backports for a stable system right? [09:44] _coredump_ : will do. [09:44] lovinglinux, then the command would be --> sudo chown caio:caio /media/disk1 -R [09:44] scream_sayonara: or did you just install them both on the same laptop? that would mean you have dual boot.

[09:45] _coredump_: ah right [09:45] scream_sayonara: when you boot your laptop do you have to decide which to boot into? like option 1: ubuntu 2: windows vista? [09:45] obviously my hardware all works [09:45] yes [09:45] helo? [09:45] <_coredump_> ehlo? [09:45] scream_sayonara: ok you got me confused first. [09:45] cool_penguin, you will have to pastebin !pastebin [09:45] Help!!! how to enable rewrite module in apache2 ?? [09:45] scream_sayonara: then you have to find the adequate driver. [09:46] How can that be done? [09:46] i think Ubuntu 8.04 cli is broke? but i dont understand why isolinux.cfg would be missing the menu label cli? [09:46] I am very new to IRC [09:46] !pastebin | cool_penguin [09:46] cool_penguin: 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) [09:46] scream_sayonara: your problem is that your laptop is brandnew. that means noone has done that for you. [09:46] driver for what? the wireless hardware? [09:46] scream_sayonara: yes [09:46] scream_sayonara, ndiswrapper :-) booyah [09:47] ok, thats how my old sources.list looked like http://paste.ubuntu.com/40113/ [09:47] i dont know what that means... [09:47] scream_sayonara: i suggest you look what it is called and then search for ubuntu ndiswrapper howto [09:47] ok thanks [09:47] cabrioleur: I've just tried using Terminal Server Client, connecting to the server but I get an error saying No Matching Security Types - you seen this before? [09:48] Does this old sources.list look bad? [09:48] davetarmac, unmark ssl on server side (if you don't care about security right now) and try again [09:48] Anyone here know how to add CakePHP to my $PATH? CakePHP is located in /var/www [09:48] ubottu: I'm using ChatZilla extension for Firefox. Do you know if there is a way to integrate the paste into the channel? [09:48] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:49] I'm so stupid, he is a bot [09:49] quick question... after install conky.. is there a "setup" button, or.. link.. or is it all terminal? [09:49] good lord I mixed this drink too strongly === nostferka^ is now known as nostferka [09:49] cabrioleur: need SSL as it's also the mail server. is there a way around it - or more accurately - to use SSL to connect? [09:49] looks like nobody here will take a sec to help [09:49] alrighty [09:49] wth.... apache2 configuraion files are splited everywhere [09:50] lars_: don't drink and root [09:50] rtz3673, hahaha, I'm not planning on it...I just need to find out where and how to change the classpath so I can access common classes for java [09:51] lars_: sorry, i don't even have java installed [09:51] Neverind about conky.. haha... that God for the ubuntu page! === chaky_ is now known as chaky [09:51] Thanks a lot guys for all your help and patience [09:51] rtz3673, yeah, nobody here is too keen on helping out with that one [09:51] Bye and Have a nice day. Cheers for Ubunut [09:51] Ubuntu [09:53] good morning [09:53] (or good whichever time of the day it is near you) [09:53] Seveas: 'morning [09:53] Seveas: 10:53am here [09:53] rtz3673, same TZ as me ;) [09:53] Seveas: hehe [09:54] davetarmac, change the viewer to one that can use encryption (it's required by mac vnc) [09:54] hi, folk :D [09:54] lars_, set the CLASSPATH variable in /etc/environment and log out and log back in [09:54] cabrioleur: do you have a client in mind? [09:54] cabrioleur, vinagre? xvncviewer? [09:54] err, davetarmac* [09:56] Hi, 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? [09:57] davetarmac, sorry, Seveas gave you answers. [09:57] Seveas, I'll need a more detailed description, I'm pretty new [09:57] mikele, you need to either add it to /etc/fstab or tell mount where you want /dev/sda1 to be mounted [09:57] lars_, ok, open etc environment in an editor as root: gksudo gedit /etc/environment [09:58] cabrioleur, Seveas: just tried xvncviewer and I get the 'No mathcing security types' message still [09:58] mikele: you need to provide mount point. [09:58] vinagre just told me that the connection was closed [09:58] lars_, and add a line at the end of that file that says: CLASSPATH="/home/lars/java" [09:58] replacing /home/lars/java with the correct path of course [09:58] mikele: make a dir: sudo mkdir /media/sdaone/ [09:58] ok...mmm... sudo mount /dev/sda1 /home [09:58] ok... [09:58] mikele, now that is a BAD idea [09:59] mikele: you can't mount into home. [09:59] 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] okok sorry [09:59] kikele: make a new directory. [09:59] rabi, well, you can. But it'll bring nothing but trouble if you do it this way ;) [09:59] ok sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sdaone [09:59] lars_, where are the .class files stored you wish to add? [10:00] ? [10:00] Seaveas, no clue [10:00] mikele: yah. [10:00] when i installed ubuntu 8.04 it came with kernel 2.6.16 but has updated to 2.6.19 however both kernels show up in my boot menu... i dont like this... how do i remove the old kernel from the boot menu ? [10:00] lars_, err, now you're confisung me [10:00] confusing even [10:00] learning how to properly 'mount' filesystems - :) is a top 10 item to learn In my list of things to teach new linux users. [10:00] hiii [10:00] mikele: to mount permanently you need to add the value into /etc/fstab [10:01] Seveas, what I'm looking at right now is /home/lars/jdk1.6.0_10 followed by a lot of stuff that I have no idea about [10:01] ah! [10:01] nice of someone to ban me from offtopic even though i promptly quit talking and left. [10:01] bdunlap, #ubuntu-ops [10:01] <_coredump_> MrNaz`, deinstall the old kernel packages or remove the entries from your /boot/grub/menu.lst [10:01] lars_, ok, you're going at this problem completely wrong. There's no need to manually install java [10:01] do u know how could I figure out the address of my sound cards ? (ex. hw:0) [10:01] bdunlap, you are offtopic for there [10:01] oh forget it. [10:01] _coredump_ how do i deinstall the old kernel ? can i do that in synaptic ? [10:01] when im downloading the ndiswrapper packages, should they be html documents? i cant figure out how to actualy download the files :( [10:02] ok Seveas...I also had it through apt-get, though I have no idea where apt-get put it [10:02] <_coredump_> Mr_Shark, dunno i use dpkg for it [10:02] <_coredump_> on cli [10:02] lars_, it doesn't matter where apt-get puts it. You can simply use it. [10:02] _coredump_ well how do you do it? [10:02] lars_, 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 packages [10:03] rabi: what line i must add? [10:03] <_coredump_> MrNaz`, then you can simply apt-get remove them [10:03] Seveas, I try to call import.util.Scanner and when I compile it won't call it [10:03] aah [10:03] _coredump_, dpkg -l 'linux*' | grep ^ii [10:03] :) [10:03] well yea i'll just do it with synaptic then [10:03] _coredump_ thanks [10:03] mikele: what type of partition is this? ie. sda1? [10:03] lars_, what's the output of the command: java -version [10:04] sda1 is fat32, sda2 ext3 (I now are in sdb) [10:04] am* [10:05] Seveas, http://paste.ubuntu.com/40114/ [10:05] when I plug in my headphones I can't hear a thing [10:05] lars_, as I expected, you have openjdk installed instead of (or next to) sun java. That's probably messing with you [10:06] can some one help me pls ? [10:06] so Seveas...how do I go about fixing this? [10:06] _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] mikele: first make unique directory to mount each partition. eg. /media/sdaone, /media/sdatwo etc. [10:06] when you download a package, what sort of file is it supposed to be [10:07] lars_, 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] scream_sayonara, normally debian '.deb' packages - but its best to let the package manager tools handle all the downloading [10:07] mikele: then add this line: /dev/sda1 /media/sdaone vfat defaults 0 0 [10:07] Hi ....Since i installed firestarter on my ubuntu hardy, i can no longer get Transmission BitTorrent client working. I ve tried to open the port by making an inbound policy, but still testing that port in Transmission preferences tells me "port closed"... [10:07] scream_sayonara, you should be downloading it with the package managers and not even bother with filetypes ;) [10:07] mmm...can I use this name --> /media/sda1 - /media/sda2 ? or not numbers? [10:07] _coredump_: I'm new to this, how do I do that? [10:07] Hey how can I make an iso of the contents of a dvd? [10:07] or can I just copy it to a folder to watch it later? [10:07] Dr_willis but i am in vista right now trying to packages for my wireless card so i can actually get on the internet when i boot into ubuntu [10:08] mikele: better to change the name. [10:08] hcMyth, dd if=/dev/dvd of=filename.iso [10:08] hcMyth, dd if=/dev/dvd of=/home/hcmyth/dvd.iso bs=4096 [10:08] ive got the pages where the packages are, but all i can get is html files [10:08] hcMyth, and then wait :) [10:08] hcMyth, 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 machine [10:08] thanks [10:08] mekele: follow this tutorial. [10:08] hcMyth, copying the files to a directory will also work [10:08] rabi: why? (I am curious xD) [10:08] Seveas, http://paste.ubuntu.com/40116/ [10:08] :) [10:08] mikele http://www.linuxsa.org.au/pipermail/linuxsa/2004-July/071131.html [10:08] _coredump_: I don't know any xterm apps on a Mac :s [10:08] mikele: or this http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Mount_Windows_partitions_(DOS,_FAT,NTFS) [10:09] <_coredump_> davetarmac, im not familiar with mac os x [10:09] when I plug in my headphones I can't hear a thing, can some one help me please? [10:09] hi guys, when i try to put youtube on full screen it doesnt let me, any idea? [10:09] lars_, apt-get remove icedtea-gcjwebplugin openjdk-6-jre{,-lib,-headless} [10:10] lars_, and then apt-get install sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-jdk [10:10] how am i supposed to use a package manager if my computer cant even connect to the internet [10:10] hi all [10:10] Hm yeah the iso file is slooooowly increasing in size.. guess i'll wait :) [10:10] hcMyth, did you use bs=4096? [10:10] yes [10:10] i need some help with amanda backup server plz [10:11] I've added myself to a group, however it doesn't show up on groups even after I logout and log back in [10:11] ok, then just wait :) [10:11] any one gonna help me [10:11] surely everything i need to get on the internet should be included in the OS install bit [10:11] scream_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] scream_sayonara, what are you missing? [10:11] Seveas: How bad is it without setting the blocksize.. wouldnt it automatically detect the blocksize of the disk? [10:11] ndiswrapper apparently [10:11] hcMyth, blocksize means "how much shall dd read in one go" [10:12] Seveas, got it [10:12] ah, ic. thanks. [10:12] ndiswrapper is a the kind of wireless driver stuff you should try as a last resort. :) or so i hear. [10:12] any one can help me in amanda backup server [10:12] hello, i need some advice [10:12] by default it's one byte, which is rather slow as disk blocks are at least 512 bytes [10:12] scream_sayonara, odd, I thought that was included on the cd [10:12] hi guys, when i try to put youtube on full screen it doesnt let me, any idea? [10:12] I installed kernel 2.6.24-21-generic from backports yesterday and now my wireless has stopped working [10:12] but it's been years since I needed it :) [10:12] any takers? [10:12] odd default setting [10:12] hcMyth, giving a block size can double the read speeds. :) [10:12] Rhodetrem, yes, go back to normal kernel [10:12] well, i just bought a mew laptop with vista on, installed ubuntu inside vista and when i boot into ubuntu, my net connection doesnt come up for me to connect to [10:12] Anyway... bye then, bless you all :) [10:12] i hate windows [10:12] Seveas, now what? [10:12] hey can anyone help me [10:12] hcMyth, Up to a point. [10:13] i just want to be on ubuntu again [10:13] can anyone help me with my ubuntu issue [10:13] lars_, run java -version agin [10:13] Dr_willis: thx [10:13] !anyone | DaveHere [10:13] DaveHere: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[10:14] scream_sayonara, you could look in the /etc/apt/sources.list and find the url to the ftp servers with the packages.. [10:14] where is that list? [10:14] Seveas, I'm totally lost xD [10:14] any one can help in amanda ?????? [10:14] I JUST WANTED TO KNOW HOW USER FRIENDLY UBUNTU-SERVER IS>? AND IS IT EASY TO SETUP A BASIC WEBSITE!!!

[10:16] lars_, mind if I pm you, it's getting somewhat crowded here [10:16] no prob Seveas [10:16] and then when i see the files that are supposed to be on there.... i do what with them? [10:16] mikele: yah. you r right. [10:16] <_coredump_> lars_, berlin wall is quite small since 1989 [10:16] ok [10:16] ahboi: use the minimal (netinstall) iso [10:16] <_coredump_> i own a piece of it^^ [10:17] scream_sayonara, that file has a list of all the repository servers.. Looking in mine i see http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ all the package files shudl be there ... somewhere. [10:17] _coredump_ okay, pre 1980 Berlin Wall [10:17] ahboi: install server edition. [10:17] scream_sayonara, go download the ones you think you need.. then install with 'sudo dpkg -i whatever.deb' [10:17] scream_sayonara: simply go to packages.ubuntu.com. there you can download any package [10:17] is there any amanada help [10:17] ??????????????????????????????

[10:18] and i need some help [10:18] scream_sayonara, download from windows... boot to linux.. install the stuff [10:18] well_smith2: that doesn't excuse rude behaviour [10:18] ahboi: hmm [10:18] wols again, i have the pages in front of me that say "hre is the package" but all i can get is html files [10:18] which i assume arent the packages [10:18] !coc | well_smith2 [10:18] well_smith2: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ [10:18] scream_sayonara: wrong [10:18] sorry again for all [10:18] and only the pages with the packages on [10:18] scream_sayonara: what pages exactly?

[10:19] scream_sayonara, just install through synaptic [10:19] just write ntfs. [10:19] hwilde for what system? [10:20] scream_sayonara: those are NOT the pages you are looking for or the pages I and Dr_willis told you about. go to the proper ones [10:20] i have a sticker that says this: wireless 802.11abgn+BT [10:20] ahboi, did it work when you got it? [10:20] thats all i know [10:20] scream_sayonara: that is no chipß [10:20] mikele: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fstab [10:20] when i install ubuntu no. [10:20] well it beats me then [10:20] scream_sayonara: then find out more before you install drivers you don't even know if they work [10:20] i needed to install a patch to make it work. [10:20] ahboi, why did you do that when it works out of the box [10:20] last time i installed ubuntu it just worked, [10:20] ahboi, it comes with a system custom made for it [10:20] the wireless network came up and i connected [10:20] hi...Since i installed firestarter on my ubuntu hardy, i can no longer get Transmission BitTorrent client working. I ve tried to open the port by making an inbound policy, but still testing that port in Transmission preferences tells me "port closed"... [10:20] scream_sayonara: if it "Just worked" it doesn't use ndiswrapper [10:21] and everything was peachy... no on my OLD computer [10:21] i got a new laptop, i want ubuntu again [10:21] hwilde_ i dont like xandros sorry and the limitation on it isnt quite consumer friendly [10:21] Zubair: why did you install firestarter at all? [10:21] and its not working [10:21] sigh [10:21] scream_sayonara, some of those docs may be out of date. I would check out the forums and the exact chipset for your wireless card. [10:21] scream_sayonara: answer my question: what wlan chip [10:21] how do i tell what my wireless card is then? [10:22] scream_sayonara, if you some how determina what packages you need.. the url i gave will ahve the actual files.. [10:22] rabi: Thankyou :) is very simple! But....mmm....why in the example of Wikipedia there is a directory "mnt" and I "fstab"? [10:22] wols....people told me it will make my ubuntu secure [10:22] but what i have put on it are the following debian. Ubuntu . eeepclos. Dreamlinux. Mandriva. its all fun and games but Ubuntu i like the most [10:22] lshw, lspci -nn, lsusb [10:22] either one of them tells [10:22] Zubair: people told your horse manure [10:22] Zubair, ubuntu is fairly locked down by default. :) [10:22] ahboi, anyways you are stuck https://bugs.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-eeepc [10:22] https://bugs.launchpad.net/madwifi/+bug/182489 [10:22] Launchpad bug 182489 in linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24 "Atheros wireless (AR5007) not working on various laptops, including the ASUS Eee PC" [High,Confirmed] [10:22] When I try using Multi-Screen support on my Network, I loose Window-Control, anybody has an idea about this?

[10:25] !wine | KoRsY [10:25] KoRsY: 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] KoRsY, libwine should help [10:25] thanks wols_ [10:26] KoRsY: not really. how would "native widgets" help for windows widgets? [10:26] KoRsY, but if you want to really port it (no windows api but a linux one), use gtk+ or Qt [10:26] hwilde_ I get that with 3 apps. xchat is one of them [10:26] KoRsY, or use wxwidgets, which allows you to use the same api on windows and linux [10:26] hwilde_: while libwine works it's universally despised [10:26] Seveas: so does gtk and Qt... [10:27] Seveas, I can not write GUI apps without using either GTK+ or Qt? [10:27] wols_, wxwidgets is still better at that [10:27] i 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 clean [10:27] thanks :) [10:27] KoRsY: you can use Xt the Xtoolkit but you really don't want to [10:27] /dev/sda1 /media/WinVistasda1 ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 ok?

Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [10:27] KoRsY, 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 though [10:28] wols_, he asked its not my fault :/ [10:28] Dr_willis, i got (little) space left in my home partition [10:28] so, there's no (native) API, I must use GTK+/Qt/wxWindows [10:28] http://paste.ubuntu.com/40132/ [10:28] wers, 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.

[10:30] mikele: only if you never want to write to your ntfs partition from linux [10:30] wols_, so, GTK/Qt calls those APIs? [10:30] wols, 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] Qt and gtk call X intrinsics [10:30] my question is, what those libraries (GTK+, Qt,etc..) calls?

[10:54] i am asking him, just a moment, === Greyhound|NB_ is now known as Greyhound|NB [10:55] 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] mikele: ath9k only [10:55] OK, thank you. It's easy here... :) [10:55] master_alvaro_: ^^ [10:55] hwlde_: but a upgrade should not change passed kernel parameters, before upgrade his laptop was working fine, [10:56] master_alvaro, http://madwifi.org/ticket/1001 [10:56] wols_: does ath9k has support for AP (Access Point) mode? [10:56] anujsingh, if you use kopt in menu.lst it will work right... if you add to kernel line manually it will not work right [10:56] master_alvaro_: no clue. it'S very early in dev and not usable in ubuntu [10:56] i asked him for /var/log/messages, X* and gdm* files. [10:56] is there a ubuntu program for internet based remote access? [10:57] rebel_kid: lots. vino , vnc, etc [10:57] anujsingh, menu.lst for real. disable acpi. put it in kopt wont lose it next kernel update. [10:57] rebel_kid, ssh. [10:57] wols: u r a wealth of information, any simpler than others [10:57] master_alvaro_: the mac80211 wireless stack does not have AP support yet, so ath*k (which uses the stack) neither [10:58] 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] rtz3673: ok, thx [10:58] hwilde_: 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] anujsingh: yes you can. but the parameter is not "disable acpi" [10:59] anujsingh: acpi=off [10:59] ok, just a moment. [10:59] master_alvaro_: dunno, but it is all moot. ubuntu has no usable support for n [10:59] anujsingh, yes press e. then edit your menu.lst and put it in kopt [10:59] wols_: ok, i use debian [10:59] thanks a lot ;-) [10:59] master_alvaro_: that's nice. you're in the wrong channel go away [11:00] wols_, gettin cranky [11:00] need breakfast burritos [11:00] hwilde_: no [11:00] and hashbrowns === nostferka is now known as nostferka^ [11:03] he is telling about, not able to start default kde-manager something like that, i asked him for /var/log/messages to send. [11:03] if he can get kde-manage.... message then acpi should not be an issue? [11:03] appart from rebooting what can you do to check if a change to fstab works? [11:03] croppa, reboot [11:04] ciao [11:04] Thanks however I thought there may be another way :-) [11:05] in ubuntu, where are the logs related to upgrade? is it default /var/log/messages or something else? something like /var/log/yum.log ? === acidicbase_ is now known as acidicbase [11:07] ok I am trying to play diablo 2 but everything looks ok till the game menu when it should start it says input signle out of range any ideas on how to fix? [11:08] l3d: what r u using to play it (wine, vmware, ect) [11:08] wine [11:08] You may want to check the wine app database and see if any tweeks are needed for diablo2 [11:09] l3d: run it in a virtual desktop [11:09] l3d: wine explorer /desktop=Diablo2,1880x1100 "C:\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe" [11:09] l3d: 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] l3d: but change the resolution of the desktop to something your screens can handle, obviously [11:09] egads.. can diablo 2 evenhandle that high of res? :) [11:11] 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 launches === master_alvaro_ is now known as master_alvaro [11:12] ok that makes a little more sence now. :) [11:13] l3d: I use compiz to zoom in once it's loaded. And remember you'll want to turn off compiz's move plugin otherwise when you press alt (to see loot) you'll end up moving the screen [11:13] Oli``, so remap alt ? [11:13] hwilde: no I just turn the move plugin off when I want to play D2 [11:16] Hello , what is best solution to install shockwaveFlash ? [11:16] !flash | gge [11:16] gge: 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 [11:17] thx , I'll look at the link [11:17] yes you will [11:17] or else!! [11:19] hwilde , got the answer for hardy [11:19] hwilde_: http://pastebin.com/d22c26344 logs from /var/log/messages [11:19] unable to get the login screen. [11:19] after an update [11:19] anujsingh, acpi=off pollirq routeirq [11:19] anujsingh, see all those acpi and irq errors [11:20] hi [11:20] can we edit kernel parameters? in rhel i have /etc/grub.conf where i can change. what about ubuntu? [11:21] I've had kernal panics when playing flash movies using the adobe flash player [11:21] Does anyone know a fix? [11:21] anujsingh: /boot/grub/menu.lst ? [11:21] anujsingh, uses same file basicially with some little changes. [11:22] anujsingh, watch out for the update-grub 'settings' that look like comments. :) [11:23] first i would prefer to take the backup of /boot/grub/menu.lst [11:23] anujsingh, alway a good idea to backup configs befor manually editing them. :) [11:24] yes. === xintron_ is now known as xintron [11:26] cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /root [11:26] anujsingh, you proberly need a 'sudo' to put it there. :) [11:27] sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /root/ ? [11:27] so, there's no such a thing as a native widget in linux, you simply use a GUI widget toolkit and it displays your app in its own terms, right? [11:27] hello [11:27] KoRsY, ive never heard the term 'native widget' used with linux. [11:28] i have a question about source code installs [11:28] Dr_willis: I asked him for /boot/grub/menu.lst file. [11:28] anyone interested? [11:28] Dr_willis, sorry, I'm a windows user, everything comes with window [11:29] KoRsY, 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. [11:30] KoRsY, Linux is all about 'Layers and legos' :) little bits going together to make more layers.. and layers on top of that. [11:30] Dr_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? === usuario is now known as wicope [11:30] KoRsY, 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. [11:31] I rarely notice the differance in qt or gtk apps.. , now the old skool xlib based apps.. those can look nasty [11:31] this is the Xorg log http://pastebin.com/m157bf187 [11:31] Dr_willis, trying to port some win32 apps to ubuntu, and want them to look 'native' [11:32] KoRsY, there is no 'native' :) Pick what one you like. I imagine it dosent really matter. if you want to have an app that runs both in windows and linux the same.. wxwindows may be the way to go. [11:33] i havent done much programing in ages however. Other then simple scripts and perl/python/toys [11:33] ping [11:34] hi. i have a problem with my pc, i have trouble with setting it to static ip [11:34] Dr_willis: this is the menu.lst file http://pastebin.com/dfa0e446 [11:34] i've got a ubuntu based laptop system running lxde (its the only thing that seems to run acceptably on that box) 128 mb ram, PIII coppermine 733 mhz- i seem to have a spike in processor usage whenever i start up a new terminal window.. any leads on where i cn start troubleshooting it? [11:34] anujsingh, err.. yea.. so what about it? was there some issue with it? [11:34] what have you tried hansemann? [11:34] hello... how do I enable the sillier desktop effects, like markup, rotating cube, desktop previews, snow and rain and the like? [11:35] actually after an update, my friend is unable to get his desktop [11:35] Tarandus_: use ccsm settings manager [11:35] geek_, a new term starts up a new shell.. and reads various configs, and executes a lot of little commands.. sounds normal to me. [11:35] Dr_willis: every time.. [11:35] ikonia: is it here already, or do I need to install someting? [11:35] Tarandus_: install ccsm [11:35] # [11:35] # kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 acpi=off ro [11:35] setting it in /etc/network/interfaces, setting it in the network-admin app, and it still wont connect to lan/internet [11:35] geek: when u open a program shouldnt u expect to have a spike in processor usage as the program loads? or have i been at the computer too long to think [11:36] geek_, every time you start an app i would imagine you see a bit of a spike. [11:36] hansemann: what ip address are you assinging [11:36] hello [11:36] 192.168.1.110 [11:36] rebel_kid: its from 0-100% and stays there for an extended period of time [11:36] between 30 seconds to a minute [11:36] hansemann: does "ifconfig" show the card to have that address [11:36] I have problems with Ubuntu and Windows LAN [11:36] hwlide_: , acpi=off pollirq routeirq [11:36] first the obvious... you have rebooted right? [11:36] yes [11:36] geek: with only 733mhz of power, yeah prolly just normal [11:36] hansemann: does "ifconfig" show the card to have that address [11:36] i got his menu.lst file http://pastebin.com/dfa0e446 [11:37] omg, this channel is fast [11:37] no kidding LtForce [11:37] it's Ubuntu man! most popular distro! [11:37] geek: try loading something bigger and see if u get a spike and how long it lasts, like try loading um... the open office word processor [11:37] ikonia: yes, it shows eth2 inet addr:192.168.1.110 [11:37] is there any good s/w for making .doc files other than OpenOffice [11:37] rebel_kid, he will be lagged till next week! :) [11:37] hansemann: ok - so your ip address is set correct, that is not your problem [11:37] rebel_kid: lol... firefox does it as well... [11:38] PLS [11:38] talk in private === nostferka^ is now known as nostferka [11:38] is there any good s/w for making .doc files other than OpenOffice ? [11:38] sonst baller ich euch eine [11:38] what are your symptoms hansemann? [11:38] ubuntoo, abiword, koffice, etc [11:38] what exactly isn't working? [11:38] KiDFlaSh: people will talk in the channel, you'll find it easier if you say the name of the person your speaking to before you type [11:38] geek: my advice, try a smaller distro like puppy that uses less horsepower, or get a few more horses pulling the cart :) [11:38] ill try to restart the router [11:38] hansemann: check your gateway [11:38] hansemann: check your dns settings [11:38] hansemann: check your firewall [11:38] I have a problem with Ubuntu and Windows LAN. I set up everything according to instructions. It sorta works, and I can acces my windows machines, but if none of the windows shared folders show up when I acces windows. Like nothing is shared, but I've shared some folders. [11:39] I have a legally bought copy of M$ Office 2007 Home and Student... any chance running it with Wine in Hardy? [11:39] Ahadiel _ thanks hopefulluy they dont affect the formatting much [11:39] rebel_kid: i suppose. i'd rather something debian based, with support for rt2500 wifi cards though [11:39] ich baller dir eine [11:39] hansemann: what exactly are you trying to do that isn't working, because it seems that your static IP is set up fine [11:39] KiDFlaSh: english please [11:39] !de | KiDFlaSh [11:39] KiDFlaSh: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [11:39] nice [11:39] Is it possible to change the name of a running screen (so that the number ie. 51280 turns into something readable, like irssi)? [11:39] yes [11:39] xintron: nope === KiDFlaSh is now known as DODO [11:40] rebel_kid: debian ran OK, but i'd need to get network set up, and i'm quite sure it'd be a pain without networking ;p [11:40] xintron: it's always going to be tty.$number [11:40] ikonia: hrmm.. ok :/ [11:40] LtForce: and it doesn't ask you for a password anywhere? [11:40] I have a problem with Ubuntu and Windows LAN. I set up everything according to instructions.

[11:40] lol === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib [11:40] xintron: I've looked for a solution many times [11:40] geek: true, but their maybe a smaller distro that would work for ya, theres a thousand, if u r a geek like ur name im sure u r a google expert lol, u gotta balance speed with power, bigger is better but always slower [11:40] xintron: if you find one, I'll be here - come and tell me === DODO is now known as KiDFlaSh [11:40] ikonia: I mean instead of 82157.pts-0., isn't it possible to change the first numbers? [11:40] what can i use to check for and fix bad blocks on my hdd ? [11:40] xintron: I don't think so, I've tried many times [11:41] xintron: as I said, if you find the solution, I'm all ears [11:41] dVs: on the file system or the hard disk [11:41] ikonia: ok [11:41] geek: ps, dont even try loading openoffice lol, by the time u got that up i could have taken a nap and gotten this stupid bot to work *tears hair out and screams at stupid bot that wont listen* [11:41] hard disk [11:41] dVs: look at the command "badblocks" [11:41] i am trying to use gpart to move the filesystem to the left [11:42] dvs: whats the problem, im sure ive had it b4 lol [11:42] and i'm getting an error saying cant read block whatever [11:42] dvs: you're not trying to swtich partitions places, right? [11:43] ikonia: use 'screen -S [sessionname] [cmd]' it'll show up as [pid].[sessionname] when you use screen -ls [11:43] dvs: you're just trying to move it over into free space? [11:43] ikonia: you can then use screen -r [sessionname] [11:43] dvs: ok, clean up bad sectors on the disk and try again, and is it a internal, external, solid state, flash, or ... [11:43] i deleted windows and now have blank space on the left side of my hdd . .was going to move ubuntu over then resize ubuntu to take the rest of the partition [11:43] ParoXoN: one moment, I'm just trying that [11:43] internal laptop drive [11:44] dvs, you're trying to do this from and OS, or live disk? [11:44] live disk [11:44] ubuntu cd [11:44] ok [11:44] ParoXoN: that is mega, thankyou very much [11:44] dvs: do a bad sector cleanup, dont remember how after 11 hours of programming, so ask someone else :) and then try the gparted live cd, not ubuntu [11:44] ikonia: no problem ^.^ [11:45] dvs: listen to what rebel_kid said. [11:45] hey.. did any of u used glc to record gameplay? [11:45] why does a cpu bar in conky show up fading from blue to black, even though I've got this in my conkyrc: ${cpugraph 20 000000 ffffff} ? that should do the trick afaik.. [11:45] so the command 'badblocks' ? [11:45] dvs: also, double check that nothing is mounted, and that you've unswapped swaps [11:45] dVs: smartmontools long test [11:45] command is smartctl [11:46] dVs: no badblocks not the right one [11:46] you mean like external drives [11:46] dvs: yes, i'm just making sure that nothing is mounted or swapon that might be giving you trouble [11:46] Hi guys. Got an annoying issue here. Copying ~200gb of files from a ext3 raid5 array onto an XFS raid5 array, and after a random amount of time, the file trasfer freezes. Nothing else can be transfered again, canceling it fails, and I need to reboot to do anything again [11:46] but it seems that you've got badblocks [11:47] even the shutdown fails :/ [11:47] can anyone of u pm me if u've been using glc to record gameplay? [11:47] happens the same copying from NTFS drive to raid array too [11:47] command line cp command does the same [11:47] so run smartctl from where ? [11:47] wols: btw, i havent worked with bad disks too much and mines almost dead (spinning hard), im running on live till the new one gets here any suggestions on how to clean it up or prep it for the copy to give it a better chance of surviving long enough [11:47] dvs: terminal i think [11:48] dvs: terminal [11:48] from a live cd ? or right now ? [11:48] reble_kid, he should make sure that he runs gpart in the terminal first right? [11:48] sorry guys [11:48] rebel_kid: keep it cool, don't power it on [11:48] anyone got any ideas while file transfers completely crashes? [11:49] dvs: no worries man [11:49] MetalPhreak: hardware issue [11:49] we've all dealt with partition problems [11:49] wols: yeah its off, but i meant when i get the new one and im ready to copy, is their anything i can do to help it? some ppl say freeze for 10 min, some say do bad sector cleanup, some say dont do bad sector cleanup [11:49] dvs: I myself have reformatted many times due to previous mistakes [11:49] whats wrong when i get checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables when trying to configure something?

Still have minor problems with a partition table, but else its installed. You were a great help, thanks :) [11:51] wols: figures ill just pray and beg to the hardware gods [11:51] anujsingh: not a ubuntu menu.lst entry at all [11:51] dvs: remember, if you're unfamiliar with the command, make sure to man it [11:51] ok gonna reboot and give it a shot [11:51] thankx again [11:51] no worries man [11:51] dvs: good luck, were here if u need more help [11:51] dvs: i got nothing to do lol [11:51] nice ..

[12:07] anujsingh: what makes you think you need to change the parameters ? [12:08] anujsingh: his desktop is not loading, the kernel is still booting fine, so why do you feel you need to change the boot options [12:08] someone here, earlier told me to change those parameters. [12:08] anujsingh: I'd look at why your not getting the desktop rather than random kernel parameter [12:09] yes ikonia: which other logs can help? [12:09] anujsingh: the syslog, the Xlog, the GDM log [12:09] anujsingh: what video card does he have ? [12:10] ikonia: his laptop was working fine before upgrade, i am asking for all those logs. [12:10] anujsingh: exactly, his laptop was working fine before the upgrade, so the changes are the kernel boot options are fine [12:11] yes? should i ask him to change menu.lst? as i asked earlier?

[13:13] jforman: inside qemu? argh the brain hurts to even think about it [13:13] Agion: There is no shockwave for linux, so you have to install the windows version of firefox in wine and use that to install [13:13] dipen: how can I have it?

Check in preferences -> sound if all is at alsa instead of oss [13:22] my apps that use alsa only let one at a time [13:22] legend2440, I guess the file I have is corrupted or something then, I changed it to .iso, then did write to disc, and it said invalid iso image or something.

Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers [13:38] durino13: simplest way to do what you describe is to image the old drive (or partition) and then restore that image to the replacement drive [13:38] I want to run xubuntu from inside windows 98 SE [13:38] defex: try colloquy [13:38] defex: you fontwise? [13:38] dorothy_gale, you mean vmware. [13:38] hwilde I was thinking more Qemu [13:39] works [13:39] qemu vs vmare? let's settle this [13:39] something light wieght and free [13:39] vmware* [13:39] dorothy_gale: emulating from a windows 98 box (likely to be old) is probably gonna end up in VERY bad performance. qumu would work though- i'd suggest using qemu manager... [13:39] can any one help me connecting to local network and setuping my samba [13:39] ParoXoN: What do you mean with 'image'? I have already moved (copied) all my partitions .. [13:39] pablopablovski: Cheers, will check it out [13:39] dorothy_gale, the major problem here is that you are going backwards. you should run linux, then emulate win98 in it. you are going to have a hell of a time getting linux to run inside win98 [13:39] ParoXoN: i hope, all i need to do is to modify /etc/fstab and grup bootloader [13:39] qemu- light, free but VERY VERY slow. on top of win 98... even slower... [13:39] gaurav, you can ping and one machine has a samba share right? [13:39] im trying to make a 3rd partition on my bootable USB stick [13:39] hwilde I am not going backwards, I have very specific reasons for wanting t do this [13:40] mo sir [13:40] gaurav, so go to Places -> Connect to server. type in the ip and samba share. [13:40] !gparted > Knight709 [13:40] Knight709, please see my private message [13:40] durino13: if you plan to pull the old pata drive, then you need to copy your boot folder over to the new SATA drive [13:40] dorothy_gale, you need to put vmware in win98 then.

[13:41] so 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 menu [13:41] no sir [13:41] hwilde, thanks for your suggestion but that is not how I want to do it [13:42] dorothy_gale, you are asking the wrong questions then. qemu is an ubuntu prog that will let you emulate win98 [13:42] How do you move a running process into a SCREEN session? [13:42] dear hwilde i install linux and rest all are having the win and i am not able to connect the windows machine [13:42] durino13: you have to copy the contents of that boot folder (and indeed, the rest of the contents of the pata drive) onto the sata drive [13:42] so if anyone else has run xubuntu with qemu please tell me how it went [13:42] dorothy_gale, what you need is vmware for win98, to emulate ubuntu [13:42] <_coredump_> Knight709, try cfdisk its a lot easier to handle than fdisk [13:42] qemu runs on windows [13:42] okay thanks [13:42] !samba > gaurav [13:42] gaurav, please see my private message [13:42] well that didnt work .. [13:43] hwilde as in damn small linux emmbeded [13:43] durino13: then modify the fstab on the sata drive to make sure that root is in th right place (probably /dev/sda1) [13:43] i am getting error 21 in grub .. [13:43] hwilde_: i don't think vmware runs on win98 [13:43] ParoXoN: 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] durino13: 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 well [13:44] dorothy_gale, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/18/run-a-live-linux-cd-from-within-windows/#more-232 [13:44] durino13: that's correct [13:44] <_lumm> bob____: apt-get install screen. then screen irssi [13:44] <_lumm> for exsample [13:44] is there a more lax channel on this server to just chat? for non support purposes [13:44] !ot | Knight709 [13:44] Knight709: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[13:52] ParoXoN: yep [13:52] hwilde_: where do I find the locale-config program (in which package)?

[13:53] Algyz: i have nothing there. [13:53] wathek, you need to have the image shared via NFS, that option points tothe NFS share [13:53] ParoXoN: yep [13:53] Hey folks I got a question about SSH [13:53] how to find out what driver is used for my wlan card atm? [13:53] Where should I save the .ssh/config file? [13:54] Cocoabean, so I've to point it to /media/ubuntu the root of the hardy CD ? [13:54] wathek: say you mounted the ubuntu image at /mount/image, that would be your nfs root [13:54] wathek is your NFS share setup though [13:54] hischild: lshw -C Network [13:54] ParoXoN: 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/fstab [13:54] erUSUL, ty [13:54] durino13: ok, first off, unmount all the partitions on the sata drive (hdg apparently). then run fdisk /dev/hdg and press p and then a then enter the partition number that has the /boot folder on it [13:55] Cocoabean, ok gonna configure the nfs server now [13:55] ParoXoN: my concern is now the bootloader [13:55] durino13: no problem, that's what we're covering now :) [13:55] erUSUL, says i should run it as root, correct? [13:55] durino13: we just have to be kinda hasty because I have to run to work; regettably this is /far/ more interesting than my job T.T [13:55] hischild: it gives the answer even as normal user on the configurartion line driver=whatever [13:56] ParoXoN: well .. you can follow .. [13:56] erUSUL, lovely. Thank you [13:56] ParoXoN: just give me hints .. i will try to follow them later [13:56] in ubuntu, network service from the cmdline, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart? [13:56] hischild: no problem [13:56] durino13: ok, first set the active partiion using fdisk (make the parition that has your /boot folder on it active) [13:57] erUSUL, may i also ask you what file holds the blacklisted drivers? [13:57] durino13: once that's done, run sudo grub-install /dev/hdg [13:57] *modules [13:57] durino13: lastly, edit fstab on the sata drive to your liking [13:58] durino13: 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] ParoXoN: perfect .. i question [13:58] yes? [13:58] ParoXoN: what about menu.lst from my PATA drive? [13:58] menu.lst resides in /boot/grub [13:59] net [13:59] it shouldn't have to be changed [13:59] er [13:59] 1 sec [13:59] durino13: ok, it will have to be changed [13:59] ParoXoN: ok, does this mean, if i install grub on my SATA, that it will automatically use stuff in the /boot folder? [14:00] durino13: yes, if that parition is marked 'active' [14:00] durino13: 'that' partition being the one with /boot folder in it [14:00] hi. Can anybody advise me a good book to learn linux basics (i don't speak about graphical interface)? [14:00] ParoXoN: so what exaclty do i have to do with 'menu.lst'? just overwrite it with the old one from PATA and that's it? [14:01] hi vadim try www.tldp.org [14:01] vadim: there is TONS of linux documentation online in various places [14:01] durino13: 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 partition [14:01] :well i need smth not online [14:02] durino13: your current menu.lst will have a linet hat says 'kernel [some stuff] root=UUID=[somehexnumbers]' [14:02] ParoXoN: that's correct [14:03] what i really need is to learn how to make ubuntu packages from source files i got [14:03] durino13: you'll have to change that to root=/dev/hdx# where x# specifies the drive and partition of your root filesystem [14:03] or, if you know the UUID of the sata drive, use that [14:03] vadim are you trying to compile and install them, or do you just want to make .deb packages [14:03] ParoXoN: perfect [14:04] ParoXoN: btw, is it normal, that my sata is recognized as hd*? i would expect sd* .. [14:04] everything we've laid out SHOULD work ^.^;; [14:04] sonypi command failed at /build/buildd/linux-2/6/24/drivers/char/sonypi.c [14:04] and network is not coming up [14:04] :i want build a package first and then install - think it will be more simple to manage [14:04] durino13: i'm not so sure how the OS detects its drives; ubuntu seems to be a lot less discriminating than other distros i've used. My two pata drives in my gateway are /dev/sd* for some reason o.O [14:05] ParoXoN: ok .. so .. [14:05] ParoXoN: you probabbly don't know how much you've helped me [14:05] ParoXoN: i have now a pretty good idea, what i am going to do [14:05] ParoXoN: general picture i was looking for [14:05] vadim http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=51003 [14:06] ParoXoN: i am going to try it right away [14:06] hi there, is anybody using Revu here ?

I'm having a lot of trouble getting the Toggle HTML button to work [16:36] AlexSpender: removing the ubuntu-desktop package, which is just a meta-package that depends on the packages for the default ubuntu desktop, is safe and will not uninstall anything else... any "reload everything" you had to do was caused by some other package you removed [16:36] nickster500: http://www.ubuntux.org/how-to-install-the-realplayer-multimedia-player [16:36] eeveetza: do u noe how to install it or are u also asking [16:36] AlexSpender: that said, removing ubuntu-desktop is not recommended because the upgrade process depends on it.. it would be easier to just disable something like network manager rather than removing it [16:36] I'm asking, I'm total n00b in linux [16:37] when USB 3 and decives (which need usb3) will be relase?

[19:32] floppyears: if you right click on the DVD and create an .iso you can then copy it to a DVD [19:32] Doonz, 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] ouch, and yes === sudobash_ is now known as sudobash [19:32] BVBBQ: ouch, and yes [19:32] firefly2442: thx [19:32] TwoD ok ill give that a go [19:32] floppyears: or you could just use a burning program like K3b === omar1 is now known as omar87 [19:32] PriceChild, is there a terminal command that i can use to rollback to my last xorg.conf backup? [19:33] floppyears: and copy it straight from the DVD without copying it to HD I think [19:33] BVBBQ: to restore it to defaults, ctrl+alt+f1, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg && sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart && exit [19:33] firefly2442: thx [19:33] TwoD, there's an option at install, that lets you choose where you want to installt he grub loader [19:33] hi, please...in my display appear "out of range", what i do? [19:33] firefly2442: yeah I was trying to use k3b, but it doesn't seem to have a copy dvd feature [19:33] PriceChild, problem is i cant use a stock xorg file, that is what i am using know and i feel like stevie wonder [19:33] GL-san... Is that at the initial screen? [19:34] floppyears: yeah, creating the ISO is pretty easy IMO [19:34] firefly2442: cool thx [19:34] no, it is when you create your partition [19:34] and they're going to be written to disk [19:34] PriceChild, would that give me a stock file or my last backup? [19:34] GL-san, there was no such option when I installed from the LiveCD I think. And I ran that install 3 times to make sure, before getting it right the 4th (without the IDE plugged in) [19:34] if you click on advanced [19:34] you get options for the grub [19:34] BVBBQ: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf; can you open a terminal? [19:34] firefly2442: do you mean right clicking on the dvd in the places menu or somewhere else ? [19:34] to make the iso [19:34] BVBBQ: stock [19:34] stryd_one, but if you know trougth command line i can try it [19:34] GL-san you mean manual? [19:34] yes [19:35] oh [19:35] ill go give her a shot [19:35] please none can help me? [19:35] or it a shot [19:35] guntbert, i can open a terminal. [19:35] thanx [19:35] kk [19:35] BVBBQ: sudo cp backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf && sudo invoke.rc-d && exit, would restore your backup. Replace "backup" with the location of your backup file [19:35] floppyears: well, like when it shows up on the desktop === The-Compiler is now known as Compiler-Mobile [19:35] firefly2442: cool, thanks [19:35] so, anyone got an idea for me? === Compiler-Mobile is now known as The-Compiler [19:35] bind applications to specific monitors [19:36] Does Ubuntu have any official position on GFDLed docs?

Don't reveal that! ;) [19:39] BVBBQ: would you like it explained? [19:39] stryd_one, ok, im going to reboot.. [19:39] PriceChild, i would appreciate that [19:39] rocky: did you try a search?

[19:52] robelliott2125: the problem isn't java if it is a SWF file. It's Adobe Flash that plays it, so we need to find out if that is up-to-date and if so reinstall it [19:52] that should do it doonz [19:52] that's what that option is for [19:52] robelliott2125: in the 'plugins' on FF3, check out the shockwave flash plugin [19:52] refefer I have Shockwave Flash installed [19:52] [T42] Ich habe keinen Ton mehr.

The question then becomes, why can't any editors write? If I had to guess, I'd say its a filesystem issue (since its not a permission issue). Try this: `sudo touch /forcefsck` and then reboot. That'lll fsck everything, and we'll see if we come up with any issues.

[20:59] i can't be bothered with that [20:59] Sorlag: yep, compiz interfering with the direct rendering layer [20:59] knife any solutions? [21:00] I 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] Sorlag: mine was: I turned off the visual effects [21:01] I 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] I've just started getting into linux and tried out a bunch of distros (including ubuntu) but finaly ended up with fedora.. [21:01] But as I get into it, it seems that most of the books and help websites are focused on ubuntu. [21:01] Would ubuntu be a better choice for a noob? [21:01] yeah I've had it turned off for a long time now.. but screenlets aren't working properly whithout compiz.. [21:02] How do I mount a USB CDR drive? [21:02] anyone willing to help me? [21:02] Thersiit ubuntu is safer than any linux if u are not familier with advanced things [21:02] JackDeth, 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] ThersiT: 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. [21:03] rahil: yea [21:03] shg_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] i've been trying to figure this out with no luck... [21:03] ThersiT: 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 you [21:04] TwoD: 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] do u mean unbuilt==not yet installed? [21:04] ThersiT: But if you, say, want to build your software from teh bottom up, it's not. [21:04] rahil : i cant help maybe :( [21:04] I did used to mess with fbsd (not with much success) and got use to being able to control everything. [21:05] Hi.. 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 work [21:05] no, 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 this [21:05] JackDeth, 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] I 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? [21:06] ThersiT: 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] graphics cards, etc: just need the right drivers [21:06] How do I locate and mount an lvm device from the Ubuntu 7.04 live CD?

[21:07] Kartagis: yes [21:07] thanks, I think I'm gonna install ubuntu agein. [21:07] zelrikriando: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree; maybe also install libflashsupport [21:07] TwoD: 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] oh well, looks like i'm just going to have to keep manually building packages :( [21:08] RequinB4, I use flash 10 because libflashsupport was pissing me off [21:08] I did what you last said, and now all I see is a yellow screen with a gray box covering 1/4 of the screen [21:08] Kartagis: ya I'm here, is something wrong? [21:09] I 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] zelrikriando: then it's not ubuntu's fault (in hardy) that it might be hard to put together [21:09] JackDeth - Is that the MSI Wind rebrand? [21:09] where is the fonts.conf file located in Hardy Heron? [21:09] JackDeth, 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] perillux: in /etc/fonts/ [21:10] RequinB4, I may agree even I find it easy to blame it on Adobe [21:10] hello, 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] chazco: 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] zelrikriando: this convo is now probably ot, but i can't wait for gnash to have a 1.0 releasee... [21:11] JackDeth - Just checked, it isnt. For what its worth on mine the sound works, but was muted by default... [21:11] RequinB4, I am pragmatic on that one...whatever makes youtube works...if it's gnash then that's cool [21:11] JackDeth, 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] is 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 screen [21:11] TwoD: Got to www.fs-driver.org and check out their extension. Sounds really slick. [21:12] 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 work [21:12] hello, 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] chazco: 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] crimsun: inside that file it says "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE. IT WILL BE REPLACED WHEN FONTCONFIG IS UPDATED. LOCAL CHANGES BELONG IN 'local.conf'." [21:13] crimsun: so where can I find local.conf? [21:13] I imagine that to downgrade e3 to e2 you'd need to get rid of the journal.

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 in [21:26] DirectX10 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.

You could give it a bashrc, or just change it system wide, with sudo update-alternatives --config editor [22:02] unop, whenever I run ( printf "dpkg-deb -b ./%s > ./%s.deb \n" * ) > commands.sh , I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/40256/ [22:02] Gnash loads in broswer but doesn't output any audio or video [22:03] its strange [22:03] ! hr [22:03] Odgovarajuci kanal za Hrvatski jezik je #ubuntu-hr, molimo Vas da se pridruzite tom kanalu ukoliko trebate pomoc za Ubuntu, hvala. Croatian language support in #ubuntu-hr [22:03] how come nobody gets what im saying [22:03] neuratix: du -s ~ |sort -k1 -n -r|head [22:03] amit, do you have compizconfig-settings-manager installed? [22:03] /usr/lib/openoffice/program/libflash680li.so [22:03] /usr/lib/libflashsupport.so [22:03] thats what i got [22:03] RequinB4 go to synaptic then uninstall gnash everything will be fine [22:03] yes i do [22:03] hischild: the drive isn't showing up in gpart either [22:03] RequinB4 i had the same problem 2 minutes ago [22:04] amit, so just go there on the general option menu [22:04] :-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(ï [22:04] amit, then desktop size [22:04] flannel, thanks! [22:04] amit, then horizontal virtual size : 4 [22:04] amit and the rest keep it 1 [22:04] Can ANYONE please help me with innotek virutalbox [22:05] i need help my graphic cart not working my computer is fujitsu siemens amilo l7320wg plz help [22:05] or atleast tell me which channel to goto [22:05] guesswho, whats the problem? [22:05] flannel: sorry.... i was after a command-line tool, gdebi is gui.... any ideas? [22:05] amit: i want to use gnash [22:05] rahil, maybe you should use a for loop like this. for file in *; do echo "dpkg-deb -b ./$file > ./$file.deb"; done [22:05] stryd_one: gdebi should have a CLI version, or... thats the impression I was under. [22:05] alrite, and when i rotate through the workspace with a program, when the program is crossing the corner it goes all crippy [22:05] Gnash loads in broswer but doesn't output any audio or video [22:06] stryd_one: or rather, gdebi should work from the CLI. [22:06] guntbert: i'm doing it.. [22:06] RequinB4 just uninstall the damn thing [22:06] RequinB4, good luck with that...if it works let me know [22:06] rahil, 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] gnash is supposed to work with youtube [22:06] it's on their web page [22:06] RequinB4 gnash doesnt support 8.04 proprly [22:06] -.- [22:06] usser; when trying to start windows in virutal box, i have the windows cd in am familiar with VMware for windows but i am new to linux, it is telling me "VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_ACCESSABLE" [22:06] RequinB4, not as a plugin in firefox though [22:07] RequinB4, if you download video from youtube maybe [22:07] guntbert: 173570800 /home/lorents [22:07] ;'( [22:07] So is there any way for me to replace flash [22:07] alrite, and when i rotate through the workspace with a program, when the program is crossing the corner to go to a new workspace it goes all crippy(pixalated), then it fixes automatically [22:07] zelrikriando, why won't gnash work as a plugin? [22:07] I installed xubuntu-desktop: but how do I go about starting the graphical system? (I've never NOT been a text-mode guy) [22:07] guesswho; like i have to be root inable to run the virutal windows machine [22:07] RequinB4, no you are stuck [22:07] stryd_one: In fact, yes, it does. If you don't have it installed (because you have no GUI), install gdebi-core [22:07] guesswho, after u installed virtualbox did u add yourself to vboxusers group? [22:08] RequinB4 just use vixy.net to download and convert youtube videos [22:08] neuratix: forgot a * please once more du -s ~/* |sort -k1 -n -r|head [22:08] RequinB4, ibex should be much friendlier with flash...just be patient [22:08] it is all greyed out, i do not have access to in the groups & users [22:08] zelrikriando: that makes me very sad [22:08] Can anyone help me with a "Out of Range" error on LCD monitor? [22:08] alrite, and when i rotate through the workspace with a program, when the program is crossing the corner to go to a new workspace it goes all crippy(pixalated), then it fixes automatically [22:08] !repeat | amit [22:08] amit: 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 [22:08] zelrikriando: i'm on a quest to free my computer as much as i can [22:08] usser; it is all greyed out and i dont have the option in the groups and users [22:08] guest328: , its a video card problem for one [22:08] sorry guys [22:09] hello, what driver do i need to select? i use ubuntu server 8.04 and i have the following network card: broadcom 5464 [22:09] unop, yes that did it :) [22:09] guntbert: http://rafb.net/p/vuqMct37.html .. but how is this helping? :p [22:09] guesswho, do sudo useradd -G vboxusers $USERNAME [22:09] [22:10] bdizzle: 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] usser, guesswho: wait! [22:10] neuratix: just to tell you what you are doing: du -s as before, ~/* all files in your homedirectory, sorted by the first column numerical biggest first, only the first ten displayed [22:10] Flannel, what? [22:10] !skype [22:10] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto [22:10] strange [22:10] usser: oh, useradd. You don't need -G for that. -G is for usermod (where you *need* an -a) [22:11] So i got it installed, how do i go about starting my desktop up? (silly question, i know) [22:11] usser: er, adduser. [22:11] Flannel: thanks, trying it now [22:11] Flannel; so it should be sudo useradd -a vboxusers $myusername? [22:11] usser: adduser user group [22:11] guntbert: okay, but the problem is that when i delete stuff, it does not understand that i've just freed some space it seems [22:11] adakos: Change your Session via Login screen. [22:11] guesswho: no, just adduser username vboxusers [22:11] Is there a way to re-configure the monitor maybe? When I installed the driver for the LCD, I was using the CRT monitor [22:11] it usually works with a reboot, but it didnt work this time [22:11] Anyone 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] Lincid: where do I find the login screen? ( i installed it overtop a server) [22:12] neuratix: so you see, where the big space is used up (85 GB in vente...) [22:12] guesswho, Flannel oh right... the previous command is for adding new users to the system [22:12] Anyone 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] guesswho, disregard the one i gave u and use sudo adduser $USERNAME vboxusers [22:12] My login screen is text only: Ubuntu 8.04.1 ubuntu tty1 : ubuntu login: _ [22:13] neuratix: deleteing some small files wont help at all, try deleting/moving something big [22:13] displayconfig-gtk guest328 [22:13] did not work [22:13] usser, 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] guesswho, u have to relogin for the group memberships to take effect [22:13] hi [22:13] i see [22:14] guntbert: 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] i cant log in to the gui hardy heron as root? [22:14] guesswho: you don't want to. [22:14] guesswho, no! [22:14] like i tried to switch users and login as root and it wouldnt work [22:14] in the gui part, why? [22:14] guesswho, why would u want to? [22:14] ArcInversion: Try installing audacious and see if it works. xmms isn't supported anymore. If it still doesn't work, file a bug against StreamTuner [22:15] guesswho: stop trying to login as root [22:15] guesswho, when sudo works just fine [22:15] for security reasons? [22:15] With audacious, can I use StreamRipper? [22:15] !sudo [22:15] 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) [22:15] ArcInversion: I don't know. It's a descendent from xmms, so it'd be your best bet. [22:15] neuratix: 360 MB = 1/1000 of your diskspace - so you got still 0% free :-)) try to NEVER go beyond 80% on your system partition [22:16] yeah u can go int u system > administation > login window then change the minimal uuid [22:16] is 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 dialup [22:16] neuratix: ok 2/1000 [22:16] well the reason i asked, was i was wanting to login as root just to change the permissions for viritual box on my account [22:16] then switch back to my regular account [22:16] guesswho, u can use sudo for that [22:16] just use sudo command to change permissions [22:16] !root [22:16] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [22:16] !su [22:16] 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) [22:17] lol [22:17] guesswho, the command i gave u above lets your regular access vboxkernel module [22:17] who actually has the root password anyway? [22:17] My 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] guesswho, pretty much any task u can up with is possible with sudo [22:17] bdizzle: No one. Its locked. [22:17] even to devs? [22:17] guntbert: yes, but i would have some -kb- free and my programs wouldnt just save empty files ( but still -replacing- the old file! :@ ) [22:17] bdizzle: yes. The hash is impossible to create [22:18] Laozi: yep the kernel has issues with stuff like that [22:18] cool [22:18] i 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 account [22:18] flannel: catch-22 - looks like gdebi is only available as a deb hahahaha [22:18] Flannel: You mean, unless you set the root password yourself. [22:18] adakos: 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 scanner [22:18] SebNaitsabes, I take that as a "sorry, but there's no solution"? If so, thanks for the info. [22:18] stryd_one: yeah, but only with a few depends [22:18] guesswho, u can do this with sudo just do gksudo nautilus [22:18] !sleep [22:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about sleep [22:18] !powermode [22:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about powermode [22:18] !hibernate [22:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about hibernate [22:19] !life [22:19] life is something very few people know about in this channel - and anyway, it's probably offtopic, perhaps you want to try #ubuntu-offtopic [22:19] Lazi: well there may be a soloution, but many people have issues with stuff like that [22:19] ah [22:19] Fructose: 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] I'll ask around [22:19] ok 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 working [22:19] Laozi: 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 working [22:19] Laozi: this is a desktop [22:19] hahaha that's shocking... you need to handle a bunch of depends in order to avoid handling a bunch of depends :D [22:19] i need help i need video driver for ubuntu my computer is fujitsu siemens amilo l7320wg plz help [22:20] stryd_one: well, most people just apt-get it. Why can't you? [22:20] !video [22:20] Ubuntu 7.04 installs multimedia codecs automatically. For older versions of Ubuntu, or if you can't use the automatic installer, see https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - For multimedia applications, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications [22:20] neuratix: you could force a fsck on the next boot, but I dont remember the way, ask please [22:20] neuratix, guntbert: sudo touch /forcefsck [22:20] SebNaitsabes, yeah, my vista partition sleeps fine on this laptop [22:20] nerijus: Nivida or ATI? [22:20] Flannel: thx [22:20] thanks for your help guys [22:21] so i am having a problem... [22:21] stryd_one: on top of that, most (if not all [22:21] Laozi: yes well hardware makers of that hardware haven't been arsed to make a driver for Linux [22:21] s3 [22:21] stryd_one: (if not all) of the depends of gdebi are a part of ubuntu-standard and/or ubuntu-minimal [22:21] neuratix: and then reboot, and DELETE/move some big files!! [22:21] Laozi: creating drivers for non supported by the manufacture hardware is very difficult [22:21] Gnome seems to be awesome, how is KDE? Must be a reason they default to gnome [22:21] ubuntu is hanging on startup - says "Routine check of drives" and then it just hangs and does nothing else [22:21] can anyone point me in theh right direction? [22:21] guntbert: okay, thanks, i'll try that [22:21] Laozi: yes creating reverse enginered drivers for hardware that has not been documented [22:22] neuratix: you're welcome [22:22] adakos: hischild: I uploaded a zip with a photo of each page here https://www.yousendit.com/download/Q01GZFhqTStvQUpjR0E9PQ It'll be available for 7 days or 100 downloads [22:22] i 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? [22:22] can someone help me get my sound to work [22:22] !sound | corey [22:22] corey: 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 [22:22] Hello. I'm looking to install a NAS box. I want to do RAID 5. My MOBO doesnt have onboard controller so im looking at software RAID. Should I use this or ubunutu server? [22:22] corey: does it work at all? [22:23] flannel: 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] is that misleading or is there something like gdebi that will grab from http (even better!) [22:23] no sound at all, I have gone through all the support pages and still nothing [22:23] stryd_one: apt-get grabs them from http (and ftp) [22:23] i 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] I have gone through and made sure nothing is muted [22:23] corey: have you got a log in sound? [22:24] no [22:24] flannel: and doesn't require a repo? [22:25] stryd_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] stryd_one: What are you trying to do? [22:25] Hi... i'm having internet issues... i've got a router connected to AOL. I can connect to the router, which claims to be connected to the internet, but when i first power on a ubuntu machine it is unable to resolve DNS... refreshing the page in Firefox will eventually cause it to start working. Ideas? [22:25] I've got an atheros wireless install question - will wait in the que - thanks [22:25] AOL is the issue [22:25] ubuntu is hanging on startup - says "Routine check of drives" and then it just hangs and does nothing else [22:25] <--agrees [22:25] !AOL [22:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about aol [22:25] bdizzle - Any idea why it only affects the Ubuntu PC after a startup? [22:26] * usser hehe [22:26] stryd_one: You trying to install a bunch of files via sneakernet? [22:26] chazco: AOL sucks [22:26] because AOL doesn't play at all with Linux? [22:26] chazco: but that's not a very helfpul answer and so [22:26] !boot [22:26] Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [22:26] chazco: AOL is for Windows [22:26] no because of the connection. [22:26] chazco: you probably connect on Windows with some sort of AOL software yes? [22:26] wait, is it dialup or DLS / cable? [22:26] anyone have any suggestions to help me with my sound issue [22:26] Not the connection, it used to be okay but then they got switched round. [22:26] dialup [22:26] err, DSL [22:27] SebNaitsabes - Nope, the Windows machines have never touched an AOL CD and work fine [22:27] okay, I don't know about *buntu and dialup at all [22:27] What is the name of the panel app where when you minimize some programs they go up to the top panel? [22:27] flannel: i am scripting the install of my system (eventually to share it with others) and i have some apps i need on there which are not in repos, just on webpages [22:27] !find apples [22:27] File apples found in dokuwiki, highlight, hwb, jedit, kali (and 47 others) [22:27] My dad was using my computer, and I have /no/ clue what he did, but he screwed up my top panel. [22:27] stryd_one: are they deb packages? [22:27] i expect that all of their deps would be in the repos [22:27] stryd_one: and, will these other systems be connected to the internet? [22:27] yep, deb [22:27] It seems as though Ubuntu is refusing to resolve DNS properly after being started up, but once working will work fine [22:28] yeh they will (or have a local repo on cd) [22:28] corey: Did you go to the pages linked by ubottu? [22:28] stryd_one: gdebi will work fine then, and is installed by default on systems. [22:28] did anyone see my question? [22:28] yeah, still nothing is working [22:28] stryd_one: CD repos count as real repos, so gdebi will be able to resolve deps with those too. [22:28] corey: What did you do to try and get it to work? [22:28] where can i find what driver i need (it may not be provided with the ubuntu server disc)? [22:29] stryd_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] is there a way to put the main menu in the right click popup? [22:29] well, i can use wget and point gdebi at the result (hey youre right, gdebi is already installed, duh!) [22:29] how do I open a program if it's hidden? [22:29] I can't find where to maximize it.. [22:29] but i figure if i can use apt-get and point it at the URL, that's even better [22:30] Does anyone know about software RAID? [22:30] I have gone through all the steps in the troubleshooting guides [22:30] thanks man :) aptoncd is already in my list of must haves :) [22:30] anyone up for a wireless installation question? [22:30] ubuntu is hanging on startup - says "Routine check of drives" and then it just hangs and does nothing else =( [22:30] is it a driver issue? [22:30] jimincascadia: Here, you just ask your question. You don't ask to ask. [22:30] stryd_one: No, disallowing that is a feature of the apt:// handler (its a security risk). but wget and gdebi will work fine. [22:31] yea kinda sorta [22:31] qwerty, its probably checking your harddrive depending on the size it may take quite a while === nostferka is now known as nostferka^ [22:31] i'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] stryd_one: You could put those debs in your PPA (with permission, of course) and then add your PPA to the repos list [22:31] usser would this take hours? [22:31] stryd_one: You can't. [22:31] have the driver in - we get as far as the sudo modprobe... and it soesn't survive the re-boot [22:31] qwerty, no shouldnt [22:31] If im creating a NAS, using software RAID 5, would I use this or Ubuntu Server? [22:31] cool [22:31] I installed gwc but I don't know the executable name... how do I find the files installed? [22:32] usser, it has so far =( [22:32] actually i don't have a ppa yet but i'm seriously considering it right now [22:32] how do I open a program if it's hidden?? [22:32] Anyone here running dualboot on an M1530 XPS? [22:32] lesshaste: dpkg -L gwc | grep /bin/ [22:32] there are 6 tbs in it though... [22:32] thx [22:32] it works fine - wireless works - but have to re enter tose 2 lines on re-boot [22:32] trying to install virtualbox and it keeps saying a error vm driver not installed I have install the generic module and still keeps saying it [22:32] Flannel: one last (i think) question: is there a 'correct' place to save the debs i download? [22:32] my nivida settings report 24-bit colour depth. An application I am trying to run in wine is asking for 32 bit mode to be enabled. Any ideas how I do this in Ubuntu? I using 7.10 [22:33] what do i use to change the settings for my monitor like selecting what type it is instead of it being a generic monitor [22:33] jimincascadia, add the module to /etc/modules [22:33] i give up.. [22:33] stryd_one: Not really, no. apt has a place, but thats just for stuff in the repos. I imagine you'll be deleting them aftwards anyway [22:33] can anyone help me? [22:33] i am also not seeing any progress at any point, it is showing 0% stage 1/5 [22:33] Zeldal - you tried using FreeNAS? [22:33] come on, it's not even a hard question.. [22:33] flannel: i will be now heheh [22:34] whats the best torrent program for ubuntu [22:34] thanks heaps man! [22:34] qwerty, start ubuntu without graphical splash to see all the messages it spits out [22:34] DOT3CH, vuze [22:34] usser, how do i do that, recovery mode? [22:34] im having issues with my thinkpad t61p taking up to 2 minutes to resume. any ideas? [22:34] is there any way to revert any changes made to my desktop?!

[22:34] qwerty, http://www.foogazi.com/2007/10/27/remove-the-ubuntu-splash-screen/ [22:34] I am using alsa which works but some apps try to write to /dev/dsp which fails [22:34] thx [22:35] how do I get them to use alsa? [22:35] Depends on the app. [22:35] bah, you guys suck. [22:35] in other words, what is the audio device for an alsa setup or can I get /dev/dsp to work somehow? [22:36] Hi, I'm hunting a script that kill ntpd, runs ntpdate, start ntpd again, any idea ? :) [22:36] some bogus script [22:36] lesshaste, 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] sauvin, right but take gnome wave cleaner (gwc) for example.. it is just asks me for a device name [22:36] Zikey: Why not write it yourself? Sounds very simple.

I have no other way of getting online, so when I need to get this working, all the tutorials tell me to download this or that, but I have no way of downloading the development stuff so to do the make commands [22:45] kcman: If that happened to me, my first guess would be that other processes are using up all my CPU.

Så i cant see the bottom menu, i can only see "computer" & "home directoty".

[22:47] kcman: System > Administration > System Monitor [22:47] I just bought this program and did all the updates [22:48] kcman: It's possible the default movie player just isn't good at decoding whatever codec this avi file uses.

Or know of a how-to? I have been looking and trying for three weeks. [22:52] greendot: Then you need to do your research and figure out what NDIS needs.

There's a search menu on that page I linked [22:54] usser: any way to uninstall them after ive built my little program? [22:55] Hey is there a way to upgrade from Fluxbuntu 7.10 to Ubuntu Hardy?

X11forwarding is yes, i am using the -X switch on SSH connection. (now im getting error: can't open display or GTK-Warning: cannot open display) [22:58] andycaz, oh ok. i dont think u can automatically undo build-dep command other than noticing what it installs [22:58] adakos, u do have gnome installed? [22:58] hoonteke: then you need to go to /etc/network/interfaces and create that interface [22:58] i have xfce installed, rather than gnome, but the system should be the same, yes? [22:58] look at the sockstat if its 4 see on 4 if its 6 see on 6, [22:59] Someone help me with openssh [22:59] (please) [22:59] pleasee :) [22:59] dont say someone help me [22:59] adakos, dont run gnome-session then, try xfce4 or something to that extent [22:59] ask the damm question [22:59] Amerikan what do you need to know about openssh, are you having a particular problem ? [22:59] andycaz: hmm, do you have any pointer to some documentation on that? [22:59] of should I google? [22:59] usser: i changed my command line to xfce4-session [22:59] hoonteke: take a look of this: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-gateway.en.html search for eth0:0 [23:00] great, thanks [23:00] usser: I did that initially, I know better than trying to run a program that isnt installed, hehe [23:00] adakos: I set it up on my gf's windows computer and have made the passwd file and the group file, But It never let's me log on.

[23:01] slammed67d21 what happens when you try? [23:01] is there any program in 8.04 i can use to open ports? [23:01] besides ufw, which doesn't work [23:01] fructose do you know anything about burning iso's with ubuntu? [23:01] andycaz: sorry, I don't understand? [23:01] usser: i know. Will it break if I run two sessions of the file manager at once? [23:01] adakos, what do u mean? btw can u run any other gui applications? [23:02] hoonteke: the example i gave you used eth0 and eth0:0 to create interface configuration. You said you need it for wireless, right? So you need to replace eth0 with your own interface, just a reminder for you [23:02] can somebody tell me why i can't watch movies online ? and why i can't view wmv files on my linux computer [23:02] oh, yeah, ehhe [23:02] hactar, firestarter probably [23:02] cause i'm getting sick off it [23:02] already with you [23:02] kcman: Right-click -> Write To Disc?

[23:03] Amerikan: Every possible player [23:03] Try getting VLC [23:03] adakos, i dont know. do u have X server running on the server? [23:03] Amerikan: every possible player i found on internet for linux. Kaffeine mplayer etc [23:03] Fructose: grub gets written to the mbr of the hard drive on which i mount my /boot right? [23:03] vlc etc [23:03] fructose yeah when i do that and when i use brasero they both take about 40 min to do nothing at the slowest speed, they then spit out the disk saying it is done then when i load the disc into other machine including windows they have nothing on them... [23:03] Amerikan: i installed win32-codecs aswell [23:04] nothing helps [23:04] cgibin, just delete php5-json as it states its part of php5-common [23:04] db92: Grub has multiple stages. /boot is not your MBR [23:04] doesnt anyone know? [23:04] usser: i think so, i might have copied the wrong file over actually.. ssh config instead of sshd [23:04] SpeCon: Have you tried converting it to another format? [23:04] Amerikan: + when i go to websites i cannot see the movies on it [23:04] usser: ill be back in a few, im going to sort this out heh [23:04] Fructose: did i say it was? :|| [23:04] grub makes me a sad panda :( [23:04] Amerikan: no i didn't try that.

[23:09] How do I check which video codec a file uses? [23:09] hmm... now I can't even browse my computer [23:09] it simply bogs my system down [23:09] to a halt. [23:09] andycaz: blast. so this may be an issue of the driver and physical hardware, but I was hoping to have my wireless card be able to talk to two different wireless networks at the same time. [23:09] (like it is doing right now) === Dompie is now known as Do-m-pie [23:09] SpeCon: follow that tutorial step by step. Pay attention that some instructions are for older versions of Ubuntu. You may have issues with quicktime, but there is a troubleshooting section that solve the problem [23:09] lovinglinux: okay tnx [23:09] hope that works out [23:09] but right now, if I change one's association, the other also changes. :-( [23:10] ... can anyone help? [23:10] please? [23:10] Gecko Media Player is awesome and it will install plugins for Quicktime, Divx, WMV [23:10] fructose did you see my last message about my "write to disc" feature? [23:10] lovinglinux: that page seems a bit excessive, installing almost every available player [23:10] in ubuntu 7.10 it says encoding on the console and i have to choose an option during the command-line system installation what does this mean [23:11] hi.. i cannot enter slashes.. it's the same key with the question mark, but the question mark can be entered [23:11] i have ubuntu 8.04 hardy heron [23:11] i am confused [23:11] alright - so if firestarter doesn't... open the ports... what will? [23:11] hmm, while my computer is rebooting: is it possible to dual boot ubuntu/winxp with a disc image or do I need to isntall a cd drive? [23:11] Khisanth: you don't need to install everything, just some of the alternatives [23:11] hoonteke: nope, that is impossible. A wifi card can be associated with only one station as far as i know [23:12] ok.. now I can't browse anything on my pc at all. [23:12] um.. no help at all? [23:12] what does the encoding on the console mean during the ubuntu 7.10 command-line system install [23:12] Does someone know if it is possible to send a Note from Tomby Notes to the TErminal wit one click? [23:12] * Khisanth has yet to run into anything that was a problem for mplayer + flash [23:13] Xodiac13: What do you mean? Where do you see it? [23:13] andycaz: :-( But I can assign arbitrary mac addresses to devices [23:13] why couldn't I do similar bit here? [23:13] this is what it says [23:13] hello? i cannot enter slashes.. i NEED to be able to enter slashes [23:13] I suppose because then the card would physically have to alternate frequencies or what not? [23:13] ubuntu installer main menu [23:13] kogi [23:13] encoding on the console: [23:13] have you tried reconfiguring your keyboard? [23:13] here are my options [23:14] um [23:14] armscii-8 [23:14] cp1251 [23:14] cp1255 [23:14] cp1256 [23:14] Xodiac13: choose UTF-8 [23:14] can anyone tell me why when i right click and choose write to disc on any type of ISO all it does is take about 40 min to eject the black disc again??? [23:14] RaedWulf_: it used to work properly the day before yesterday [23:14] ok [23:14] Does anyone here have any experience with xrdp? [23:14] Flannel: what does that mean [23:15] Xodiac13: Its the character encoding used, but why it asks, I'm not sure. Did you select the expert install? [23:15] kogi, I'm having the same kind of "everything was fine and now it isn't" kind of problem, except I can't browse my file systems. The computer takes FOREVER to open any hdd. [23:15] i have in my xorg.conf file set my monitor's mode to 1440x900, which ddcprobe and get-edid both confirm is what my monitor should be at, but whenever i startx it reverts back to what it thinks my monitor supports as 1280x1024 [23:15] hoonteke: yes, you can change mac addresses for these virtual interfaces [23:15] Flannel: no the command-line install [23:16] kogi: what have you done to troubleshoot so far? [23:16] Flannel: now its asking me to choose a font for the console [23:16] andycaz: yeah, but the underlying issue is still that the card would need to speak two different frequencies at the same time, right? [23:16] kcman: have you tried using a burner program? [23:16] Flannel: it gives me like arabic, armenian, cyrillic, and more [23:16] hoonteke: yup, and that is impossible as far as i know [23:16] Xodiac13: Well, pick whichever you think looks normal [23:17] andycaz: :-) I take that as a challenge! [23:17] ??? ok, now it's browsing properly. What's wrong with this system? [23:17] Flannel: i feel retarted because i thought it was asking me the language sorry i thought to hard into it [23:17] RaedWulf_: 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 again [23:17] okay. so does anything work in 8.04? === Crazed_by_Pengui is now known as CrazedbyPenguins [23:17] carandraug yes, i have also tried brasero one of the other programs under add/remove it does the exact samething... [23:17] or is the idea that, when you've got years of updates to give out, you need to pace yourself [23:18] kogi: do all other the keys work properly? [23:18] RaedWilf_: but i dont think its a layout problem, becausei have two different language layouts and i cannot enter a slash when using either of them [23:18] how come when i drop the themes i download from gnome-look.org in appearance -> themes it says this is not a theme file [23:18] 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] do i need some sort of a special theme manager? [23:18] RaedWulf_: yes, in fact they do [23:18] kogi: slash or backslash? [23:18] i cant get logged in wpa networks with my ubuntu anyone know why?? [23:18] Flannel: so for the console font its not going to mess up my keyboard [23:18] Flannel: when i type? [23:19] RaeWulf_: this -> / (i copied and pasted it) [23:19] kcman: 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] Kogi: two ways to type it: shift+7 or / above #8 if you have a numerical keypad. Neither work? [23:19] Xodiac13: I've honestly never seen those questions before. Just pick the one that looks normal. [23:20] Does anyone here have any experience with xrdp? [23:20] carandraug 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] Flannel: lol well all the ones except English because it doesnt even have that one [23:20] hey does anybody now how to change from the windows longhorn loader tu grub [23:20] !grub | Matt367, first link [23:20] Matt367, first link: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[23:21] how do I remove boot options from grub? [23:21] i have grub already [23:21] Xodiac13: Type out the options (all on one line would be fine) and I'll take a look (I'll also do some googling while you do that) [23:21] Matt367: Not on your MBR if Vistas bootloader is in use [23:21] Not sure if I want my Ubuntu Studio RT kernel anymore. [23:21] okay [23:21] im using vistas loader [23:21] Kogi, did you get my question? [23:21] regarding the slash key? [23:22] kcman: that's strange. If you couldn't burn nothing at all, maybe I could've been of help. In this case, sorry. No idea [23:22] i can use the grub shell in gnome_terminal [23:22] Flannel: 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 on [23:22] RaedWulf_: the slash over the number 8 in the numerical keypad works.. my layout doesn't print slash when i press SHIFT+7, but & :P [23:23] carandraug nah dont say that i will try another brand of cd but hey you have given me a ray of hope...

[23:43] greendot: if that computer has a CD burner, you can download them to that computer hard drive, start WIndows, Mac or whatever OS it has, burn to a CD and take the deb files to your computer for installation [23:43] in virtual box it says to hit right control to switch my mouse pointer from ubuntu to my virtual box , i hit the right control button, control and right arrow key, all kinds of combos what am i doing wrong lol [23:43] carandraug i have it trying to burn through k3b sorry i got hung up before i could try that one but next i will try to mount the iso and then copy to cd..

[23:44] guesswho: to get out you press right ctl and move your mouse out of it [23:44] Theaxiom: Google desktop [23:44] Theaxiom: i think it has a linux version [23:44] Khisanth: he needs to install an application that has dependencies, which have dependencies, has no network connection and knows no one with Linux. I was telling him that he could generate a script to automatically downlaod everything he needed in other persons computer using LiveCD [23:44] kitche: it keeps mentions something about auto capture and does not work when i click inside the virtual box [23:44] hi [23:44] greendot: I am talking like cpu/ram usage, etc [23:44] !botsnack | flannel [23:44] flannel: Yum!

[23:47] greendot: your system should already know the dependencies. If you try to install one with Synaptic package manager it should automatically select all other packages it needs. Once this is done, you select "generate package download scrip". Never used it myself but in theory, it should work [23:47] kitche: nevermind i apologize for my linux noobiness, i had to click on do not show this message again first for it to work [23:47] but koshar1: i dont have another system to do this with [23:47] hey does anybody now how to change from the windows longhorn loader to grub [23:47] do you know if ubuntu 8.10 based on debian lenny?

Maybe it is. I believe the file is boot.ini [23:54] Prikolchik: i know it'll work because there are tutorials [23:54] rconan: greendot doesnt have a ethernet connectin where the pc is or wifi configured [23:54] but the tutorials all assume that you can get online otherwise [23:54] carandraug, how is grub editable? :) [23:54] can someone help me please, even pulse audio device chooser crashes at startup [23:54] if i had an ethernet cord up here i woudn't even BOTHER with setting up wireless at all [23:54] kitche: I can connect to a server with the SAME EXACT authorized_keys file fine.

I've seen you around, you know it :p [23:55] greendot so you cannot temperarily set the PC up withing reach of the routher [23:55] use a usb key [23:55] or a cd [23:55] it would be a huge hassle on the part of various parties [23:55] to copy over the files [23:56] carandraug, that's only editing grub's configuration file .. so the windows boot.ini is equivalent to the grub menu.lst/menu.cfg [23:56] greendot, 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 synaptic [23:56] greendot another option would be to use a AP [23:56] AP? [23:56] access point [23:56] Tetrohead: so you went to ssh in putty and clicked auth then browsed for your private key and hit ok and tried to connect? [23:57] koshar1: what on earth is that?
