Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:42] cutandbrused, sorry i'm flooding. winecfg in a terminal, little gui pops up, audio tab, i think choose ALSA. unless someone else?

Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. [00:43] I'm not sure if this is the place to ask. But, does anyone know if resizing my Wubi's "partition" to be larger is risky when dual-booting with windows xp pro sp2 on an NTFS HD? [00:43] Kai_wp, well it depends what you mean by risk. have you got your valuble data backed up? if not it's a big risk :) [00:44] Kai_wp: Wubi doesn't dual boot "really", it sits in a file inside your windows partition. Resizing it should be fine, there's no danger of breaking your windows partition (just running out of space) [00:44] howdy, how can i use ls exclusively? i want to list all the files that do NOT end in *.nfo so far im thinking it would look something like ls ! '*.nfo' [00:44] I loaded a disk [00:44] will Winecfg play my diablo 2 [00:44] how can I tell the filesystem? [00:44] cutandbrused: yes [00:45] Flannel: Alright. Although, I assume I'll have to use "PartedMagic" to increase the "partitions" size? [00:45] FarmCretin: no, pipe to grep. Alternatively, use a nice shell like zsh. [00:45] ls | grep "*[^o"] might work [00:45] err [00:45] .*[^o] [00:45] Guys, even with VLC media player the video is still choppy. It's not pixelated, it's not slowed down or unresponsive, however the screen flickers black screens every once millisecond. [00:45] FarmCretin: ls -l | grep -v .nfo [00:45] cutandbrused: according to winehq, it runs flawlessly (platinum medal for every review with Diablo II, with and without LoD) [00:45] Kai_wp: No, no. I'm... actually not sure how you'd increase wubi's size. But theres *no* parititoning at all. [00:46] Barqs: maybe you should try totem-gstreamer instead of xine [00:46] * cyphase is so annoyed when open-source projects make GUIs for Windows and Mac, but not Linux, because "Linux people know how to use the command line" [00:46] danbhfive: The problem is I'm not sure exactly which one the players are using... I have both installed. [00:46] Barqs: remove totem-xine [00:46] is there a nice app that could work as an alarm clock? [00:46] palomer: run "sudo fdisk -l" to know the filesystem [00:46] FarmCretin: in zsh, you have: ls -d ^*.nfo [00:47] linduxed: yea, it's called alarm-clock :)/ one second, let me get the link [00:47] can anyone tell me where the kernel source tree is (or what the synpatic package is) ? [00:47] Flannel: that did it, but i want to write it out. adding |nano makes it all smushed together [00:47] FarmCretin: write it out? [00:47] cyphase when they start doing that linux will spread like wildfire, especially now there is wubi (although it wont let you install on another HD) [00:47] FarmCretin: to a file you mean? [00:47] and how do I format a disk? [00:47] danbhfive: It appears to be the same without xine, so I'm assuming they must be using gstreamer? [00:47] Flannel: yes [00:47] FarmCretin: ls -l | grep -v .nfo | tee filename.txt or ls -l | grep -v .nfo > filename.txt [00:47] Flannel: is it possible to make nano play nice? [00:48] Barqs: how did you get xine in the first place? [00:48] FarmCretin: you don't need nano, just pipe it straight into a file. === C7878385 is now known as chalcedony [00:48] Hi guys. Does anyone know what kind of software I could use to synchronize folders between Ubuntu and Vista? [00:48] I cant find how to get winecfg? [00:48] hello [00:48] thanks Flannel , learn somthing new every day [00:48] StepNjump: rsync ? [00:48] i have an archive file type that i need to unpack so that it is one file again, is there an app for this?? [00:48] Hi warnush [00:48] cutandbrused: did you install wine ? [00:48] Thank you [00:49] does ubuntu have full ntfs read/write support? [00:49] yes [00:49] Where can I get this? [00:49] danbhfive: I got amarok since I use it for all my music, and it usually runs with xine, so I searched xine in synaptic and found totem-xine and installed it. [00:49] cutandbrused: that's the configuration menu of wine. Install wine and you're ready to join battle.net [00:49] * student likes it when the gui and the cli are both good (see: apt & synaptic) [00:49] kcman: you need to tell us the kind of archive it is [00:49] StepNjump: synaptic [00:49] FarmCretin: also, if you don't want a file, but just to be able to scroll around, pipe it to less (ls -l | grep -v .nfo | less) [00:49] linduxed: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/alarm-clock [00:49] Barqs: did your problem start then? [00:49] Sorry warnush [00:49] palomer: yes. WIth nfts-3g [00:49] I just got a usb disk formatted with ntfs [00:49] Do you mean [00:49] outbriber: will check [00:49] jrib looks like it is a rar file type... [00:49] whats ntfs-3g? [00:49] !rar > kcman [00:49] kcman, please see my private message [00:50] get-apt install synaptic [00:50] palomer: a ntfs read/write plugin for linux [00:50] ?

[00:50] StepNjump: no, run synaptic and find rsync [00:50] The normal ubuntu kernel doesn't have ALSA [00:50] palomer: it's the driver to mount ntfs partitions [00:50] Why? [00:50] danbhfive: I'm not sure, I had never tried to run an avi file before now. But is there a quick way to just swap xine as my default, and try mplayer out? [00:50] oh ok thank you Warnush [00:50] but ntfs is not case sensitive, right? [00:50] I will try that. I will et you know [00:50] in a few secs [00:50] why does the root tool for deamons giving a authfail? [00:50] palomer: whats your point ? [00:51] warnush, just wondering [00:51] if I should keep my usb disk as ntfs [00:51] or format it as win95 [00:51] dos32 [00:51] palomer: you mean fat32? [00:51] Barqs: I dunno, sorry. Maybe you could try this command, exactly: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^ [00:51] palomer: dont use the enter key as punctuation [00:51] palomer: I don't think it matters to the filesystem. It matters to the OS and the Linux is case sensitive [00:51] danbhfive: will do. [00:52] where the kernel source tree is (or what the synpatic package is) ? [00:52] palomer: linux handles ntfs just fine now. You would have problems 2 years ago but not now. [00:52] warnush, sudo aptitude install linux-headers-$(uname -r) [00:52] unop: ok, so i have that installed [00:52] carandraug: i dont know about that. ive had problems copying files named foo and Foo to my FAT322 ipod from ext3 on linux before. it asks if i want to overwrite the file [00:53] unop: but i cannot find it via find in the cli [00:53] warnush, ls -ld /usr/src/ [00:53] linduxed: how're you doing? [00:53] warnush, err. ls -ld /usr/src/* [00:54] student: really? hmm, maybe you're true. I've always thought it was dependent on the OS [00:54] unop: so if i am manually installing the nvidia driver, i can tell it /usr/src and it will work, or do you think i need to tell it a sub-dir under that? [00:54] palomer: seem sI was wrong. According to student filesystem is cased sensitive. If that's the case, ntfs will be case-sensitive [00:55] <[SCKESLUNA]> does anyone know how to make a dr. pepper and a pepsi like enfused drink [00:55] student: FAT is special... or more specifically, 8.3 filenames were special. [00:55] warnush, hmm, you could use the envyng tool to make your life a little easier [00:55] is there any way to get rhythm box to play files i double click on instead of adding them to the playlist? [00:55] [SCKESLUNA]: no [00:55] [SCKESLUNA]: please ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [00:56] i have a question about installing ubuntu server 8.0.3 [00:56] Flannel: so copying foo and FOO to an ntfs partition would work without problems you think? [00:56] LA_Mike_FA: shoot [00:56] warnush, depending on what the driver install wants .. the directory it wants is probably /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) [00:57] i get an error code and i looked it up and it means the spindle number is too high what should i do? === drkguy is now known as Drk_Guy [00:57] student: I believe so, but then if you boot to windows, you'll have issues. [00:57] outbriber: thx it really helped [00:57] student: There's one way to find out :) [00:57] unop: ironic - b/c that dir/file is not there [00:57] unop: nm - i dumb [00:58] warnush, which probably means the linux-headers package was not installed properly [00:58] unop: im dump, i was already in that directory [00:58] unop: thanks for the help [00:58] heh [00:58] np [00:58] unop: crossing fingers [00:59] Flannel: the only problem is, i swore off windows for my personal machines :-) [00:59] linduxed: did you get cyphase's link? [00:59] ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm [00:59] hi, could someone tell me how to limit permissions of a particular user (without having to edit permissions of every file on my system) [00:59] LA_Mike_FA: please don't do that.

You're is obviously more difficult, because your spot is hiding :) [01:02] jrib stupid idea bro [01:02] Dewente: why? [01:02] Flannel: my spot is hiding? [01:02] hola [01:03] DOT3CH: nevermind [01:03] jrib i wrote i have 64bit [01:03] Dewente: tell me what exactly did not work instead of assuming it is a stupid idea. [01:03] unop: would it be problematic to remove user access to /tmp? [01:03] waynew, not a good idea [01:03] Dewente: it doesn't matter. As long as you have the -updates repository enabled, flash will install fine. Yes, even on 64bit [01:04] waynew, some user processes need to read/write to /tmp [01:04] dewente: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree && sudo apt-get install libflashsupport [01:04] its is the channel superdistro [01:04] <[SCKESLUNA]> main icons on the desktop, anyone know how [01:04] waynew, why do you want to do this? aren't the defaults enough?

[01:07] [SCKESLUNA]: could you please give me your definition of main icons? [01:07] ivx: is a problem with the user actually creating the file [01:07] ivx, do you create files using nautilus?

[01:07] [SCKESLUNA]: it should be there by default. If not run gconf-editor in the terminal [01:08] Is there any way to find out where, in "make menuconfig", I can find a particular option... given its option name? [01:08] [SCKESLUNA]: start gconf-editor, and go to nautilus > desktop, and theres a whole bunch of checkboxes for you [01:08] Flannel, there is a bug in gio presently where it doesn't obey the umask .. so anything that uses gio has a problem [01:08] Omoikane_: do you mean the terminal? [01:08] CONFIG_IWLCORE to be specific [01:08] yes [01:08] Dewente: no, what VipOrX said will do the same thing. Let him troubleshoot that. In addition to what VipOrX asked also pastebin the output of this command: apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree [01:08] s/him/us [01:08] Omoikane_: it's not set by default in latest versions, but you can go to system>preferences>keyboard shortcuts, IIRC [01:09] does anyone know which is the better iso mounter? [01:09] apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree [01:09] nutricycle: mount [01:09] unop, I tried what you said to do before, but i'm having a sharing problem, would you suggest using NFS to share files? [01:09] Dewente: write that in a terminal and then paste the output onto paste.ubuntu.com. Then give us the url [01:09] unop for just one computer? [01:09] Omoikane_: yep, it's in the "Desktop" section - Run a terminal - it's the last option [01:09] jrib, does it have a gui? [01:10] ok [01:10] nutricycle: there are some nautilus scripts somewhere. I'm not aware of their names offhand though [01:10] waynew I need to load compiz because it has crashed and so I can't browse without loading it. So I just need to do compiz --replace [01:10] Hello could anyone help me with getting my new Nvidia GeForce 6200 AGP card working with Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.1 and compiz enabled? My system freezes with it enabled.Worked fine with my other geforce mx400 card.Please anyone? [01:10] ivx, no NFS is overkill -- the problem is not how you have setup the share .. just the way nautilus creates files, it does not obey the umask .. so it's hard to create files/directories with the right permissions [01:11] Ubuntu works fine without compiz turned on however. [01:11] if alt+f2 brings up the run dialog, Omoikane_, you can check the option run in terminal [01:11] [SCKESLUNA]: once you start gconf-editor in the terminal, go to "apps > nautilus > desktop" and tick the option volumes [01:11] [01:11] unop, but if i was creating a file with lets say gimp would that be the correct permissions? i set the folder to g+s [01:11] Do I need an access router for a client, I have the IP, LOGIN, and PASSWORD, as I do that [01:11] Omoikane_: or just type in xterm or whatever terminal you have installed [01:11] ivx, you could modify the umask in /etc/profile to umask 002 .. that will ensure nautilus creates file properly .. but it will still struggle with directories [01:11] jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/41395/ [01:11] Dewente: do you have universe enabled? [01:12] ivx, yea, i'm not sure .. but i am pretty sure that even gimp is affected by this bug [01:12] s/yea// [01:12] Dewente: nevermind, I see your on Gutsy, libflashsupport is only for hardy pulseaudio issue [01:13] Dewente: open firefox and in the URL bar type about:plugins [01:13] unop so how fast do they usually fix bugs? [01:13] ok [01:13] Dewente: make sure you have restarted firefox first [01:13] Do I need an access router for a client, I have the IP, LOGIN, and PASSWORD, as I do that? [01:14] VipOrX, ok done [01:14] ivx, well, hard to say -- depends on the priority assigned to bugs .. and this one is classified as a 'low priority' one .. there's no telling, a couple of weeks perhaps === MrKennie1 is now known as MrKennie [01:14] Is there any way to find out where, in "make menuconfig", I can find a particular option... given its option name? CONFIG_IWLCORE to be specific [01:14] VipOrX, no plugins are installed [01:15] unop, oh, well thanks for your help [01:15] can I set a umask for a paritcular directory? I.e. If I have /home/foo using the default umask, can I set a different umask that will apply to files created in /home/foo/bar (and subdirectories, such as /home/foo/bar/hats , etc)?

I'd like to have a folder where all files created in that folder are 0664 ... which is I guess a bit different then setting the umask, now that I think it through.

[01:22] mike-ekim: what if you open it in totem? [01:22] unop: hmm, I see. I'd prefer to be able to force permissions (or at least force certain bits to be set) but I may be willing to settle for emulating it depending on how it's done. [01:22] jrib, what's dmesg?

[02:18] Sixofour|Sleep: well, there's plenty of programs it doesn't work.. i've certainly had less than 100% success w/ it. [02:18] anyplace I can go to find a top list of Linux apps or something? [02:18] gaintsure did you jsut recommend drivers to me when you yourself don't know how to fix it? [02:18] Finger: theres a lot of programs that are similar to anything you can find on windows, I've not been able to find about 4 programs that I use frequently in windows for linux and thats it [02:18] Sixofour|Sleep: no, I'm having a completely different problem [02:18] oh ok [02:18] lol [02:18] Finger: yeah, google "Linux Alternatives".. and you should get a site that will list windows programs, and their linux alternatives [02:19] is there any channels to get specific help on devices ??

[02:27] How do i get sound on wine i have ubuntu 8.04 lts i think and wines lattest version but there is no sound for diablo 2 [02:27] what's the "official way of starting bind at boot time? [02:28] So it turns out I can't get into Ubuntu. I believe it's because I need to replace my xorg.conf file with a backup. How can I go about doing this without access to Ubuntu? [02:28] I can understand for level1 support.... google would help greatly... but I've been searching for answers without success.. [02:28] so in my case, no, google does not help me [02:28] Kai_wp2, restart in rescue mode [02:28] darkangel88: what are you trying to do again? [02:28] tarvid: he's using ubuntu via wubi [02:28] what are alternatives to Adobe Air ? Its lack of support for Arabic is forcing me to find another platform/framework [02:28] cd /etc/X11 [02:29] tarvid: Would that be more effective than trying to do it by editing Wubi's disk image in Windows? [02:29] does events/0 sounds familiar to you ? [02:29] no [02:29] How do i get sound on wine i have ubuntu 8.04 lts i think and wines lattest version but there is no sound for diablo 2 [02:29] How do i get sound on wine i have ubuntu 8.04 lts i think and wines lattest version but there is no sound for diablo 2 [02:29] Kai_wp2, have you tried Ctrl+Alt+F1?

Is that to start rescue mode? [02:30] Kai_wp2, never used wubi but if you can get to /etc/X11 [02:30] how is everyone [02:30] That is to switch to a shell window without GUI [02:30] So I guess the linuxhelpthing was all part of the fuckingoogleit.com stuff ? [02:30] darkangel88: do you have an ipod problem? [02:30] tarvid: I found I software that reads the Wubi image, but won't let me write. So maybe I'll try "rescue mode". Is it just like the terminal? [02:30] nope [02:31] With any luck you might see a login prompt\ [02:31] ok, i thought you had an ipod problem [02:31] Yes [02:31] not me [02:31] !language [02:31] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

ATI X1200 fglrx drivers, glxinfo says direct rendering: no [02:39] is it possible to use grub-gfxboot AND startupmanager ?

I try rdesktop, but, result is: [02:42] Autoselected keyboard map pt-br [02:42] ERROR: Failed to open display: [02:42] what would I kill to restart *JUST* the desktop, not the whole session or anything... I've lost my desktop stuff, along with my background [02:42] um [02:42] try running firefox as a different new user, if life improves you need to try a new profile, i've forgotten how that is done but I found help at mozillazine [02:42] you can't [02:42] does anyone know if there is a alternative ATI grfx drivers i could use? instead of the ones provided by ATI?? i get some screen tearing using ATIs drivers. [02:43] but you can tell the session manager to save your windows [02:43] i've been trying to use xinit to open an application on a separate xserver that i could access with ctrl+alt+f8 but i run into some errors http://paste.ubuntu.com/41408/ - i'm thinking that it might have something to do something i discovered a few weeks ago, the authorization for x is different on ubuntu, the xauth file is created at boot and stored in /tmp so scripting something with xauth is impossible since the key or whatever is changed at each boot, i'v [02:43] How do i reset my ubuntu profile password? [02:44] how can i up dare firefox [02:44] Can I access the terminal before loading the desktop of Ubuntu?

[02:47] is it indexing of swapping? [02:47] tarvid / pike: I can't do anything at the desktop, as I have no access. When I boot it tells me it's running in low graphics mode. Then when I configure it or say continue, I get a black screen. Although, when I configured it, after 30 seconds or so my PC beeped. Coincedentaly I just modified my xorg.conf file to work with some drivers for my tablet just before. [02:48] ant2ne: i do not understand the question [02:48] tarvid / pike: That's why I was wondering is there's some sort of console I can access before it loads the log in. [02:48] is your HD swapping memory? [02:48] i dont know it happens every night around the same time, however [02:49] That is odd... [02:49] . [02:49] Do you have a cron job or something scheduled? [02:49] SeligArk1n: do you know what program it is? [02:49] ok [02:49] i guess i can't huh [02:49] Could I run a copy command from the rescue mode? [02:49] Gorogoth: whats your question? [02:50] Kai_wp2, I don't know wubi but Ctrl+Alt+Backspace will restart X and Ctrl+Alt+F6 will switch to a terminal window and Ctrl_Alt+F7 will switch back to X [02:50] i can not get anything to install in Cedega is there an expert in the room? [02:50] as far as i can tell there is no cronjob [02:50] crontab -e and sudo crontab -e are both empty [02:50] crontab -e [02:50] crontab -l [02:50] SeligArk1n: check /etc/cron.daily/ , those scripts are all run each day. [02:50] Hey guys [02:50] did that too, nothing that sounds like it is indexing [02:50] Sorry, I asked this before but: [02:50] I'm having a problem with getting ubuntu to recognize my wireless card, or my router, or heck, I don't know. It just won't connect to the internet, and I've tried that 'Documentation Site' six time. No luck.

I dont' know if it is a scheduled type of thing === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:52] Anyone know how I can fix that? [02:52] kcman: maybe you could try wine, and the appdb [02:52] ok that blows [02:53] Okay I've got my system istalled, ut it hangs durring boot on *starting bluetooth [02:53] I need some help getting my sound card installed. It didn't have internet when i install linux. I do now, but it hasn't reconized the card. I'm pretty sure it's a sound blaster pro. [02:53] does LVM have _any_ performance impact? [02:53] where can i find some help on my firefox issuse [02:53] I've tried to docs, but they don't tell me what to do when linux doesn't see it at all [02:53] danbhfive i have wine but all the games that i have are on there "to due" list.... [02:54] wine is nice, but not perfect [02:54] i look at it as an added bonus [02:54] kcman: what do you mean? what ratings do the games get? [02:54] Gorgoth what is your firefox issue? [02:54] excuse me ppl, but how do I connect to #ubuntu-jp? [02:54] xerxex: /j #ubuntu-jp [02:55] ant2ne: Gorogoth wont say : P [02:55] LOL [02:55] Unknown host. Maybe you misspelled it? [02:55] is there a way to filter those quit: messages [02:55] ant2ne: are you using pidgin? [02:55] yes [02:56] ant2ne: there is a plugin [02:56] ahhh... [02:56] aww :( [02:56] is it sudo apt-get able? [02:56] ok [02:56] ant2ne: no, look under the tools menu [02:56] ant2ne it's my turn [02:57] I just installed Java in Dapper, but all my Java apps are running horribly slow. Does anyone know how to fix that? [02:57] * SeligArk1n heart irssi [02:57] danbhfive well no one is supporting diablo (the first one) i got SC working, i also have WoW running but as soon as i start moving around the app closes itself something about my graphics card even though i have 3d rendering i was just looking for a app that will aid my machine along in the goof off hours [02:57] I see the plug ins.. what one am I lookin for? [02:57] Any idea if ubuntu would find a driver on my windows machine, or if it comes with certain drivers already installed? [02:57] meh i will just deal with it and see if ican fix it later [02:57] critter: make sure you got sun's java and not gnu's java [02:58] kcman: have you seen the app database? Sometimes it has additional setup info to make the games actually work... [02:58] qr, the package I installed was sun-java5, so I'm thinking it's the right one. [02:58] Threethan: whats the problem? === Pici` is now known as Pici [02:58] critter: indeed... maybe try java6? I don't know. [02:58] hey havin' an issue here. I plugged my phone into the USB I wrote "lsusb" it picks it up where do I know it's mounted? [02:58] Well, I can't connect to the internet. It shows my ethernet card (Both of them) and I change the properties to DCHP (or however you say it) and it just won't connect. [02:58] I suppose. I'll try it, see if it's any better. [02:59] I was thinking it might just be that the driver isn't installed intot he ubuntu hard drive, but is on the window hard drive. === ebrima is now known as Gainde [02:59] Threethan: no, ubuntu includes all its own drivers [02:59] hmm [03:00] i guess that worked [03:00] Threethan: if its a wireless ethernet, then its slightly different.... [03:00] teh quit messages stopped [03:00] this is now tolorable [03:00] Anyone gonna help/ [03:00] because I check bitpim and it says usb::001::005::2 [03:00] * RollingD34th still needs help with his sound card [03:00] ant2ne: yeah, its nice because it still shows quit messages of people who were active in the channel [03:01] co ai noi tieng viet ko [03:01] :D [03:01] ahh [03:01] seems my video probs will never be fixed =( I can't think of any other ideas [03:01] No, it's a wired ethernet. [03:02] 50 sites, 25 same answers, 0 problems fixed [03:02] danbhfive i can see that you are a wine fan... lol [03:03] giantsura, what problem [03:03] Will someone help me? [03:03] !question [03:03] 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. :-) [03:03] Anyone know of any drivers for my Logitech G5 mouse? [03:03] shiloh7: I've been working for 3-4 days now trying to get full screen video to function, every time I try to go full screen, I get a flicker and it returns to window mode. Direct render is disabled and I can't seem to figure out why. When I enable the ATI restricted drivers, I lose all GUI [03:04] ok [03:04] Full Screen? Window Mode? What app is this? [03:04] giantsura, ahhh, sorry, I am an Nvidia believer [03:04] ant2ne: any, mplayer, web browser, doesn't matter [03:05] I recently installed a ubuntu linux on a 1.4ghz computer, but as I try to boot it, it takes forever....could someone help me figure out why? [03:05] so... video won't play in full screen in any app? [03:05] kcman: er, no, its my understanding that cedega is based off of wine. I just checked the appdb, and it says that diable II works [03:05] ant2ne: with mplayer, flv video playback is slow and choppy [03:05] ant2ne: nope [03:05] nvidia is the way to go [03:05] what type of card? [03:05] Finger: whats the problem with your mouse? I have a G5 laser mouse [03:05] not so much a problem as a lack of functionality [03:05] I think Gorogoth is is a bot [03:05] Alright, using rescue mode to "Fix the X Server" worked. I'm back into Ubuntu. But now Compiz Fusion won't work. It's installed, but when I run "compiz --replace" from the terminal I get "No whitelisted driver found. aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity". How can I fix this? [03:05] G5 rules. :P [03:06] like the software DPI modes, the side scrolling etc [03:06] danbhfive yeah part 2 works and it also is supposed to work in cedega but i havent tried to install that one i was trying to get the first one to work, i am fan of the first one [03:06] Kai, want ubuntu version you using? [03:06] ant2ne: ATI X1200 Series [03:07] giantsura, ewwwwwwwww [03:07] shiloh7: not my choice, its a laptop [03:07] I hear ATI is not the best linux friendly [03:07] ant2ne: Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron 32-bit [03:07] Finger: yeah, I don't know of a solution to the soft. DPI, and I never use the side scrolling, but in theory, those are just buttons [03:07] ant2ne: it was working fine about 4 months ago, and between the system upgrades it stopped working [03:07] Anyone.. know where my phone's path would be? lsusb picks it up.. [03:07] ant2ne, that has changed since AMD take over. ATI themselves never bothered with drivers for linux [03:08] giant, could that be a codec issue? [03:08] Finger: you should be able to map them to things, something, somewhere, not sure really [03:08] you'd think it would be something that would be auto detected and utilized in proper situations [03:08] were you using automatix? [03:08] ant2ne: I don't think so. I cannot get catalyst to work either since the upgrade, and no I was not [03:08] I'm a newbie... mapping things isnt something I have any clue on lol [03:08] giantsura, you tried envyNG? [03:08] bofh80: agreed [03:08] Kai, can you not click Preferences -> Advanced Desktop Settings [03:08] hell I understand so little about Linux I feel like I need a degree just to turn off the computer now =P [03:08] shiloh7: yes, and those didn't get me any closer, actually after envyng I had to remove ALL of the display drivers and start from basically nothing [03:09] giantsura, :(, i am sorry to hear that === cutandbrused is now known as NiceGuy [03:09] Finger: well, each mouse button is numbered, so when you left click, Linux is told that mouse button one was pressed. The side scroll buttons are like 7 and 8 or something like that. Most linux apps use one the first 3, which is the problem [03:10] shiloh7: the sad part is, this all stemmed from not being able to open catalyst to adjust anti alias settings because full screen video was pixelated, now I can't even get full screen video =( [03:10] hello [03:10] hi [03:10] Finger: Im gona look into something... [03:10] Also, when I try to set the "Visual Effects" to "Extra" it says that desktop effects can't be enabled. [03:11] kcman: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3498&iTestingId=22891 [03:11] giantsura, i have a dell alppy with ATI, but i dont push it [03:11] Kai_wp: Do you have a good graphics card? [03:11] kk [03:11] Kai_wp: Do you think it could handle it? [03:11] shiloh7: I wasn't trying to push it, I was just trying to make it so when I watched a streaming movie it wasn't pixelated [03:12] giantsura, no, i meant me cause ati and linux dont have a great relationship [03:12] shiloh7: it worked fine previously [03:12] Kai, have you ever gotten compiz to play nice? [03:12] kai_wp are you still there? [03:13] does anybody know anything about blender here [03:13] mine won't open [03:14] danbhfive ok so you want a cookie, nah i am only playing thanks for showing me that, and that i also wasted 45 bucks today dam i am totally lost still with linux i still have so much more to learn... [03:14] giantsura, im at a loss, i have no advice [03:14] blender? You open the top... drop in ice and spirits and fruit.... [03:14] shiloh7: =( no one seems to [03:14] tyg13: Yes, an XFX Nvidia 8600 GT XXX 256MB. [03:14] :( [03:14] sorry giant... ATI not friendly [03:14] shiloh7: I've tried literally everything I can, talked to at least 15 people [03:15] sounds like you tried to fix noe problem and ran into aother [03:15] ant2ne: it was working fine before, and now it doesn't at all [03:15] is it possible to install native video drivers in a virtual machine? [03:15] ant2ne: exactly [03:15] tyg13: Compiz Fusion worked perfectly before I replaced my xorg.conf with the generic one in rescue mode. [03:15] kcman: no, I dont want I cookie! I was trying to help : ( really. How did you loose $45? I don't get whats happening... [03:15] does anyone know why when i get a large amount of traffic through my connection my wireless would stay connected but the internet drops? it only happens with wireless [03:15] Kai_wp: Did you make any changes to the xorg.conf before restoring it? [03:15] Kai: DOH!!! Did you make a back up? [03:16] Some files should be auto backed up before editing. IMO [03:16] danbhfive it is 45 for the account with Cedega and i was dumb and paid them thinking that it included customer support, guess the joke is on me lol and i am not trying to pick a fight or mean to come accross mocking i was really being serious thank you really! :) [03:16] tyg13: The only intentional changes was that modified it to work with my tablet. I was following a tutorial. But it wasn't so specific about where to paste things. :P [03:17] can bind run correctly from var/lib/named/etc ? is this a newbie friendly location for bind to live? [03:17] I just enabled my video cards drivers. So I'm going to reboot. Although I'd like to know, is it risky to use CTRL+ALT+Backspace to reboot faster? [03:17] Kai_wp: Just backup normally, we don't really want to screw things up even more [03:17] Kai_wp: no, not risky, but ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't reboot [03:17] Kai_wp: restart* [03:17] hey, I'm having some trouble using aptitude to install the software I want [03:17] CNTL+ALT+BKSPACE is not reboot/restart [03:17] should I not be using aptitude? [03:18] it only restarts X [03:18] So what would a full reboot do that restarting X wouldn't? [03:18] aglio2: What software do you want to install? [03:18] Quite a bit? [03:18] postgresql 8.3 to start out [03:18] Kai_wp: Reinitialize everything [03:18] ummm everything non graphical [03:18] LOL [03:18] Kai_wp: restart everything that runs on your computer that isn't X [03:18] Alright, I'll do a full reboot from now on then. :P Thanks. [03:18] * Kai_wp reboots [03:19] but I can't find the packages -- when I search for "postgresql" i get a list of 220+ packages [03:19] You need not do a full reboot often in Linux [03:19] which *don't* include postgresql-server [03:19] kcman: cool. I don't know much about cedega, except that it is based on wine. I'm not trying to convert you particularly, I just figured that since its the same code base, the wine support might work for cedega. But for $45, you probably should get some sort of support. I would email them, anyway, good luck, and happy gaming! [03:19] the search doesn't appear to work [03:19] aglio2: Have you tried Add/Remove? [03:19] aglio2: try theaptitiudesearchcommand | sort | less [03:19] aglio2: or Synaptic? [03:19] tyg13: it's a hosted server. I'm limited to commandline [03:20] my understanding is that cadega is an off-shoot of wine. cadega kicks some of its code and $$ to wine [03:20] aglio2: Oh. Okay [03:20] hmmm [03:20] I'm thinking aptitude is a loss [03:20] broken [03:20] aglio2: Use sudo aptitude search postgresql [03:20] I'm root [03:20] how do you install aptitude LOL [03:20] aglio2: Then just use aptitude search postgresql [03:20] hi guys , i am wondering how do I give access to a friend? I am getting invalid template error [03:21] wickedpuppy: Root access? [03:21] what access? [03:21] Kai is back [03:21] tyg13: just so you know, that gives me a *completely* different list than aptitude curses interface gives me [03:21] Tis a success. :) [03:21] oh? [03:21] you got compiz up? [03:22] o/ [03:22] I have a question ppl: if I install Ubuntu and then restart why does it not boot up? [03:22] Ya, I just ran "compiz --replace". Although it complains of an incorrect value somewhere, it did that before too. Yet it still works. [03:22] Kai_wp: I had the same problem, I just didn't know to check the drivers :) [03:22] Then do a sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bk [03:22] tyg13, no no ... in one of the channel here ... not on my machine [03:22] :P [03:22] wickedpuppy: So IRC access? [03:23] tyg13: I Googled the exact error message and found a topic on it marked "solved". Although the solution wasn't to check your drivers, when someone mentioned them I checked to see if mine were enabled. :) [03:23] tyg13, yes [03:23] feh, what's the search tool for apt-get again? [03:23] wickedpuppy: #freenode would be the best place to ask, thats the irc network that you are on. [03:23] frankly, I don't kow how I got in IRC [03:23] ah ... [03:23] wickedpuppy: Don't ask in here :) [03:23] wickedpuppy: I honestly have no idea on IRC channel modes and such [03:23] BiNaRyCoDe: it is a bug in ubuntu install - d/l updates - then check for updates again - then try restart [03:24] is there a utility to edit files via terminal? [03:24] jimmio: vim , nano, emacs, pico ... pick one [03:24] nano [03:24] jimmio: nano, vim, emacs [03:24] i like nano [03:24] tyg13, i think i been asking this question everywhere and they told me to come here ... my mistake is i didn't say its irc access ... silly me [03:24] ?? [03:24] jimmio: although nano is arguably the easiest for newbies [03:24] what I really want is YAST's curses interface combined with apt-get's installation [03:24] =-P [03:25] It gets the job done fast and easy [03:25] aglio2: try aptitude [03:25] lol [03:25] anybody know a good place to find grub-gfxboot menus ? [03:25] ant2ne: you just need to learn how to search properly with apt-get ... sort and grep are your friends inthis case. [03:25] Flannel: joke? [03:25] i want to change mine [03:25] renaming files? =P [03:25] aglio2: no. run aptitude with no arguments. It opens a curses TUI [03:25] Honestly, how long do you want to sit at terminal text editor? [03:26] qr? what does apt-get have to do with anythng? [03:26] Flannel: I just got through bitching about how broken the aptitude interface is [03:26] aglio2: alright, well, I just got here. so, fair enough. I have no idea what yast's interface is like. [03:26] danbhfive you still here? [03:27] danbhfive hasn't said nothing in awile [03:27] Flannel: easy to use [03:27] heh, im here : P [03:28] Hello. So Ubuntu recently died on me, but i was able to recover all the files. I think i had some problems with my harddrive. [03:28] Flannel: if only it weren't on top of SuSE and their darned proprietary RPMs === lizzie__ is now known as lizzie [03:28] I was wondering if i should run tests to see if i should reinstall on this one and check for bad sectors, or get a new one? [03:28] how to run on root? [03:28] stepanstas: that reminds me. Windows has a chkdsk /R function that recovers bad sectors of a hard drive... What is the linux version of this? [03:28] how to run terminal on root? [03:29] BunTai: sudo [03:29] ok [03:29] how to delete file in blacklist? [03:29] I'm a bit sceptical about the fact that when attempting to install nfs-common, I"m being asked to remove apparmor, initscripts, mount and a few other key packages [03:29] my wireless connection still cant connect [03:30] wireless + linux = vodoo... JK [03:30] ant2ne, I think it was fsck and i think i tried that once. But then if failed again and i wasnted to know if these were physical bad sectors or recoverable [03:30] how to update to install driver in ubuntu ? [03:30] Dabbu: what driver?

[03:31] hi there [03:31] dft: why are you installing nfs-common [03:31] working but i find that the display is not clear [03:32] does fsck --help doesn't say notta about bad sectors. unless blocks are sectors === nicholas is now known as Guest97047 === Guest97047 is now known as sanassar [03:32] djhash: He is installing nfs-common to share files with his XO,,, JK [03:32] God I have to keep changing my name to sanassar wheen I come [03:32] I just did that [03:32] hi, how can i see which charset i have installed? [03:32] i have just installed ubuntu-server, and i can't get the xserver to run. I have installed kdm, gdm, xserver-xorg and kde. the reocnfigure for xserver has no section relating to video settigns at all [03:32] djhash: seems required for mounting nfs shares [03:32] I'm bored.Anyone need some problems solved? [03:32] ant2ne, i dont even know if there is a difference between sectors and blocks [03:32] sanassar: me pls [03:33] Varange:What do you need [03:33] sanassar: i have just installed ubuntu-server, and i can't get the xserver to run. I have installed kdm, gdm, xserver-xorg and kde. the reocnfigure for xserver has no section relating to video settigns at all [03:33] hi sanassar, btw :) [03:33] if you do a fsck --help it says "-c Check for bad blocks and add them to the badblock list" [03:33] that sounds like what you want to do [03:33] if you suspect the HD is going south [03:33] i am trying to run a php script in background... but if i do "php script.php &" it goes straight to "stopped" state... i can FG to it to continue... but why is it stopping? [03:34] dft: what version of ubuntu are you running [03:34] hi what is the command for the trash can [03:34] is there a way to remove the proprietary nvidia driver if installed through the restricted drivers manager?

Oooo what was it again [03:35] ant2ne, and is there any way to check the badblock list? If it already has a lot of bad blocks, i dont think its work installing on [03:35] djhash: is there and equiv. to /etc/redhat-release for ubuntu? [03:35] dft: i dont have nfs-common installed.. and I can still mount network shares.. [03:35] I think the bad block list would be in the file table... so I dn't think it is checkable... not sure [03:35] djhash: I'll test it out [03:36] ant2ne, okay. well thanks for your help. Ill try reinstalling it [03:36] stepanstas, I'd run fsck -c one more time [03:36] could anyone help me find out which charset i have installed?

[03:51] ant2ne: I see Hardware Drivers, no Restricted Drivers though.. [03:51] andrer: I was curious, and I think it might be that if you use echo, it stops the script?

Also see !patience [04:06] blak: type 'airsnort' in a terminal [04:06] k, 1 sec [04:06] meoblast001, and Kino do have features...I am looking at it now...you can do stuff with it... [04:06] after a 1 hour conversion [04:06] to dv [04:06] well, I feel like an infant. Thanks! [04:07] Has anyone else had problems with Adobe Flash Player plugin not having audio? [04:07] So, no way to install my sound card? Which is an AC97? [04:07] ansichart: There's another audio app currently using the device. [04:07] I can't quite grasp how to compile a tarball either [04:07] ansichart: Rhythmbox for instance. [04:07] meoblast001, I did some 10minutes videos with it...I am not sure about the longer ones...but usually video editing do take time [04:07] jimmio, Yes... that's exactly what I am running. [04:07] @ansichart: there is a conflict with pulseaudio. if there is another source of sound flash wont play sound [04:07] blak: you need to unpack the tarball and compile the files in it's gooey center === Zambezis is now known as Zambezi [04:08] gregbrady, i was thinking ac97 wasent really a 'card' but like a standard - But i have had few sound issues with my machines. [04:08] Can someone help me to get HDAPS working ? on my ubuntu laptop [04:08] ansichart: Close rhythmbox, restart firefox, all is well again. [04:08] that's what I don't understand. Sorry if I sound ignorant, just installed Ubuntu at round 5 this morning [04:08] I want to add s/t to my source list how can i do it i try opening but it says i dont have permission [04:08] btw hope the pulseaudio bug is solved. [04:08] Dr_willis, my card is described as SB400 AC'97 [04:09] blak: in a terminal tar -xf thefile.tar [04:09] tsuna27-> use sudo to get root priviledge [04:09] After I add something to my path, how do I reload .bashrc? [04:09] tsuna27, you must edit the soruces.list file as the root user. 'sudo nano /path/to/file' [04:09] jimmio, That's tidious.... do you know another work around for that. I know I can leave other audio applications open when running Windows and still be able to get audio from the Flash Plugin. [04:09] '#FILE: /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/reacocard-awn/ubuntu gutsy main' also should i change gutsy to hardy [04:09] grub-install /dev/sda gives me an error Could not find device for /boot What is that mean? [04:09] Dr_willis, make any sense? No? [04:09] gregbrady, i would check google for linux/ubuntu and the SB400 then. and the ubuntu forums perhaps. Its possible theres buggy drivers for that card. [04:09] blak: in windows lingo:. tar is equivalent to a zip file.. you need to extract it.. the files inside it..needs to be compiled and installed.. [04:10] gregbrady, its like the old days perhaps when cards where 'sound blaster compatiable' :) but a lot of them were only compatiable due to their drivers. [04:10] Does anyone know how to check if my accelerometer on my ThinkPad is working to protect my hard drive? === Zambezi is now known as Zambezis [04:10] i get that much but I'm lost when I try to compile, say... xcdroast [04:10] @ansichart you have to install libflashsupport 'sudo apt-get install libflashsupport' [04:10] ansichart: There was rather recently almost no audio support at all... and currently I believe it's just a bug that will soon be corrected. [04:10] libflashsupport is still buggy. but you can try it out [04:11] blak: there are two files inside the tar file.. INSTALL and README.. read both.. [04:11] ok [04:11] ansichart: Stick it out for now, all will be fine soon enough =P [04:11] Dr_willis, no problem, I looked and no luck...not an issue....back to XP for this machine. [04:11] blak: the files are in ALLCAPS [04:11] Dr_Willis: i need help the file is in /etc/apt/sources.list [04:11] blak: you should use the packages in synaptic when you want to use a software application, try not to compile things from source unless you know what you're doing, or if you have a special need :) [04:11] Alright, thanks jimmio and vishzilla [04:11] np [04:11] the airsnort works, but how do I open aircrack? The terminal command did nothing [04:12] can anyone tell me how to get dekorator? [04:12] blak, why are you using airsnort with aircrack? [04:12] i am using ubuntu live cd to fix my grub boot loader but no luck, i was able to do it beforre [04:12] gregbrady, if its very new. it may be the next ubuntu release will update the alsa drivers and get sound working.. or it maybe some trivial fix. I dont know your details so cant advise any more then that. [04:12] is one better than the other? I am just trying to get a feel on one or the other [04:12] blak, kismet + airodump-ng + aireplay-ng + aircrack = Everything you need [04:12] tsuna27, -> 'sudo nano /path/to/file' [04:13] will that crack WEP/WPA? [04:13] blak, Those tools I listed above are superior [04:13] Yes [04:13] ok [04:13] I have tutorials on cracking both with those [04:13] detailed tutorials if you want [04:13] can someone help me out here? I've got no mp4 support or m4a support in amarok. and the packages that resolve this issue xine-faad xine-flaac aren't in my repositories [04:13] Dr_willis, not a problem. This is an older machine and I just thought it would be a good match for Ubuntu. Video worked, but not audio. Back to what works. Thanks for the suggestions and help though. [04:13] I would love to see them [04:13] dtolj, i guess you tried grub-install? after chroot your file system [04:13] Yea. [04:14] also, when I try and load the cd/dvd repo, it says failed when the cd is in my cd drive [04:14] gregbrady, i grabbed a $20 creative sound card the other day that works like a champ in the wifes box. :) [04:14] Did you know WPA is easiest to crack as long as another client is on... [04:14] no, thought WEP was [04:14] easier than WEP, kind of funny. [04:14] Dr_willis, nope, XP is free. Everything works there. Thanks. [04:14] where are ur tuts located [04:14] As long as a client is on with a WPA encryption it's actually easier. [04:14] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GnomeDo/Plugins/Twitter <- I'm trying to setup this plugin, but when I install it to the plugins folder it doesn't "activate" I guess; i don't see a "preferences" tab or option at all; thoughts? [04:14] So how many people here are using Wubi to run Ubuntu with another OS? [04:14] gregbrady, 'free' in a 'very broad sence' ;) [04:14] You send a deauth packet disguised as the router [04:14] Dr_willis, it came with the machine free [04:14] and then they try to reconnect, you capture the handshake [04:15] and bam you got it [04:15] instantly [04:15] I'll show you the tutorial.. let me find it. [04:15] Dr_willis: i dont get it [04:15] would someone be very kind as to help me get mp4/m4a support in amarok? [04:15] I read that just earlier and didnt believe it... [04:15] gregbrady, which is to say - you paid the 'microsoft tax' [04:15] if i have a mouse with a tilt wheel, how can i disable that completely [04:15] I'm having trouble getting sound on my machine, does anyone have the time to lend a hand? [04:15] Dr_willis, yup, but it works [04:15] Anyone know why you can't get Kiba Dock or Akamaru physics anymore? :( [04:15] tsuna27, you may want to read some linux basics/tutorials befor messing with the sources.list file manually. The synaptic package manager has tools to add/remove sources also. [04:16] Dr_willis: how [04:16] !synaptic | tsuna27 [04:16] tsuna27: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto === netsui_dine is now known as netsui [04:17] any1 know how I can open aircrack on my cpu?

[04:17] Theaxiom, any special features you need? [04:17] Theaxiom: there are many filezilla [04:17] The second tutorial shows you how to use aireplay to deauth and send fake authentication packets... that's for hacking WPA [04:17] blak, ^ [04:17] hey all! [04:17] Barqs, try the 'apt-cdrom' command? its been years.. but i think i used that befor. [04:17] Dr_willis: I need SFTP, Multiple Local and Server tabs, Keep-Alive === Zambezis is now known as Zambezi [04:18] Attempting to boot a newly installed system, and having serious issues. My system hanges at *starting bluetooth [04:18] Dr_willis: vertical file tree views [04:18] Theaxiom, search the package manager for 'ftp' and try out the clients in there. [04:18] blak, What wireless card are you using by the way... you may run into problems. Are you using an Atheros? [04:18] blak, because you will need the madwifi drivers the developers version not the normal version if you are using an Atheros card. [04:18] thanks, firefox is in timeout for misbehaving til I reboot, so I'll have to give it a go later. [04:18] Dr_willis: Yeah, this is what I'm trying, however, I don't know how to use it to add the cd to the apt list. And this seems to be the only way to get xine-faad and xine-flaac. those aren't in my repos [04:18] hola [04:18] dtolj: I do not like filezilla, it gets disconnected from server, and I have to reconnect and navigate again to the remote folder [04:19] I have a Broadcom mini wireless pci card [04:19] I tried using that fix that allows multiple programs to mix sounds on alsa, but now I can't get any sort of sound at all. Would anyone know what is wrong? [04:19] is it possible to add "accelerators"? like hitting a certain key runs a command or something [04:19] Uhh, BC4113 i believe [04:19] Dr_willis: do you know how I could go about doing any of this? [04:19] i have installed xubuntu on a laptop and am trying to configure wireless to work on it. can someone help me with this? === Zambezi is now known as Zambezis [04:19] blak, Do you know if you can capture packets in promisc mode with your wireless card drivers? [04:19] Dr_willis, I will switch back, but continue to monitor Linux development until the succeed in getting their wireless and audio drivers to work properly.......it seems Linux weakness. [04:20] Oh yeah, did so with cain in XP [04:20] blak, And can you put it into monitor mode... test it with TCP dump [04:20] !find xine-faad [04:20] Please use http://packages.ubuntu.com/ to search for files [04:20] blak, Well... that's in XP... you have to make sure that you drivers in Linux allow you to do that. [04:20] How should I go about that? [04:20] Barqs, last i looked - the faad stuff was in the medibuntu repositorys [04:20] blak, what's your wifi card's name? wifi0? [04:20] Ubuntu rocks [04:20] zelrikriando: how do you zoom to timeline in open movie editor? [04:20] blak, wlan0 [04:20] blak, ? [04:21] wlan0 [04:21] Barqs, or at least some extra libs and stuff was in there. :) [04:21] Dr_willis: well this is really inconvenient .. I have medibuntu repos added, but it isn't there [04:21] !wireless [04:21] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:21] and I did sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [04:21] meoblast001, I just said I never used it :) [04:21] is there a way you can talk 1 on 1? [04:21] oh [04:21] gregbrady, its a weakness of the HARDWARE makers - not linux. If they dont support linux - then linux cant support them. [04:21] blak, alright well to get it into promisc mode simple use ifconfig wlan0 promisc [04:21] meoblast001, I use Kino usually...I dont more for now so.... [04:21] Has anyone here successfully synced a second gen Zune to Windows within VirtualBox? [04:22] k 1 sec [04:22] blak, and to take it out of promisc mode use -promisc [04:22] meoblast001, does Open Movie Editor look better? [04:22] yeah [04:22] anyone.. disable tilt wheel on a mouse? Most useless feature, ever. === itrebal is now known as [itrebal] [04:23] blak, and to put your card into monitor mode... use iwconfig wlan0 mode Monitor [04:23] Barqs, i cant find much mention of xine-faad anyehere on google either. [04:23] i did promisc but it didn't give any confirmation of doing so... [04:23] blak, And hopefully your card will let you do those things... and also send raw packets [04:23] Dr_willis, I understand, but from a users standpoint, it is a Linux weakness. I hope to switch over soon though.! [04:24] Dr_willis: neither can I :S I'm not sure what libs will give me mp4 and m4a support.. I've installed just about everything I could in a "codec" search [04:24] blak, type "ifconfig wlan0 | grep promisc" if yo see anything it worked === PakoTM is now known as Guest15710 [04:24] gregbrady, from this users standpoint its a hardware makers stupidty issue. and ive explained it to many a 'windows user' at work. :) [04:25] You may need to take your card down first before you put it into monitor or promisc mode. ifconfig wlan0 down... but you will get disconnected [04:25] nothing [04:25] What packages should I download to manage hosting on ubuntu? [04:25] Barqs, check medibuntu for xine, it may be a feature that needs to be compiled into the xine binary. i only recall ever installing the 'faad' libraries and i can play most everything === Zambezis is now known as Zambezi [04:25] Dr_willis, I understand 100%. But as a user, if my hardware does not work, I cannot wait for the manufacturer to change. I have to go with what he supports. The way I bought it. [04:25] Theaxiom: Hosting what? Website? Webmin works great. [04:25] blak, you'll need to put your card down first before putting it into promisc or monitor mode I believe. Have you ever used Kismet? [04:25] how can i view nfs share on remote machine [04:26] no [04:26] jimmio: Webmin is not in the repositories, do I need to download it from its own site? [04:26] blak, well, you'll probably want that if you are going to wardrive... it's pretty essential. [04:26] ansichart, can you do 1 on 1 chat somehow? [04:26] blak, Yea. [04:26] Theaxiom: Google is your friend. It's free, and in .deb format. === PakoTM_ is now known as PakoTM [04:26] using webmin is NOT advised. :) [04:26] Dr_willis: The thing is, all this worked until I followed some guide on ubuntu forums to get avi files to be less choppy. It completely screwed over my flash and mp3 support. So I've fixed those, now onto m4a... [04:26] HOW?!? [04:26] jimmio: Thanks [04:26] Barqs, heh.. i wonder what that guide could of done.. [04:27] Dr_willis, In other words...my fault for not buying Linux compatible hardware. [04:27] I tried to play chess and it tells me this: Does anyone know how to check if my accelerometer on my ThinkPad is working to protect my hard drive? [04:27] chetnick: mount -t nfs 192.168.0.3:/sharedir /mnt/mountpoint or somesuch [04:27] oops [04:27] blak: keep it public please [04:27] does anyone know how to make 3d chess work? [04:27] Theaxiom: No problem. PM if you need any help with it, I've been using it for years. [04:27] Dr_willis: Honestly, I'm not sure but it's really getting on my nerves -_- [04:27] guys, this is a support channel, dont argue here [04:27] gregbrady, my last laptop works better in linux then it does in vista. :) HP cant even get their own hardware support right with it.. [04:27] Anyone know how to alter the size of my mouse pointer in ubuntu - it is too small - running a versa 7200 lappy and usb mouse [04:27] jimmio: I have used it before on web hosting servers, thanks. :) [04:27] pike_: thanks i know how to mount, i want to know how can i view shares [04:27] Dr_willis, gregbrady, take it to PM or to discussion channel [04:28] how do i boot windows from the grub command line? [04:28] OlderGuy, i thought the gnome mouse settings had several cursors you could use.. or if using compiz - i THINK there was some mouse scale feature. [04:28] it is located on the second partion of the first disk of a sata drive? [04:28] pike_: on some linux distros there is showmount utility, which i dont have on ubuntu [04:28] Dr_willis: mp4 files differ from m4a? or are they the same? [04:29] m4a are audio files. [04:29] mp4 are video [04:29] pike_: i was wondering is there anything similar [04:29] ah [04:29] Barqs, ive played them all in vlc. [04:29] Dr_willis: I haven't had any problems with Ubuntu on my HP laptop... [04:29] !beer [04:29] Beer is always appreciated. [04:29] so... what exactly do i need for m4a support? [04:29] polygon89, understood, sorry. [04:29] quicktime?

[04:30] hello [04:30] Barqs, installing gstreamer-restricted packages (search for gstreamer in add/remove) should give you playback support for most file formats [04:30] burnhamd: Is windows the first partition on the first disk? [04:30] Barqs, also, playing stuff in vlc should work, and if that doesnt work, research w32codecs [04:30] jordan_U i fixed it [04:30] Cant find anything in the gnome mouse info to do this Doc - but thanks anyway [04:30] Anyone? I tried performing a fix to let alsa handle different sounds at once but now I can't get sound at all. I tried purging alsa-base and alsa-oss and restoring the fixed files but I still can't even get one sound to work at a time. [04:30] chetnick: wow. im not sure.. konq can do nfs: it but now any kinda admin type tool [04:30] I have a US robotics router and I want to hack into it. I have the pass and login for it and I own and I pay for the connection. I just want to do it because I'm curious. [04:30] thanks though [04:30] i need a little help with the workspace switcher applet [04:31] Dr_willis: I completely wiped Vista off of my laptop, it was making the computer run hot as Hades all of the time.

[04:32] No. I wasn't aware that it did that. I am a Linux noob. [04:32] what direcctory is "/schemas/apps/workspace_switcher_applet/prefs" under??? [04:32] polygon89: How can I verify this? Just by seeing if it slows down? [04:33] oh no! Attacked by web browsers that were renamed because of a changed skin that's all? Nooooo! D: [04:33] how can i install wine?? it easy to do?

[04:33] Thanks polygon89 [04:33] scabflakes, ive not notuiced the load cycle issue in the latest release.. :) there was a big stink about it a year or so ago. technically it was the hard drive having over-kill default settings that ubuntu (and OTHER linux and other osss) could use.

[05:10] ice_cream, the desktop is managed through gConf [05:10] whats a good svn client? [05:10] Let's say that I have an NTFS partition that isn't recognized in fstab, but is accessible from Ubuntu. If I copy files from the NTFS to the linux partition, will they stay? I had an issue awhile back with the reverse. Lost a LOT of files copying to that NTFS part. from Ubuntu. [05:11] sotec_prod, linux can (in general) read from NTSF but not write to NTSF [05:11] jimmio, check out truecrypt [05:11] jimmio, I hear that the version of ubuntu coming out in October will have a readymade encrypted folder in the home directory [05:11] sotec_prod, so you should be okay to copy files to your linux partition from ntsf [05:11] RaZMataZ: That hasn't been true for a while [05:11] sotec_prod, if you copy files from one filesystem to anotehr.. they are copied.. thats it.. they dont 'vanish' unless you did a 'link' instead of a copy [05:11] trojatra, ok, hopefully someone here will know, as i dont use gnome anymore [05:11] RaZ: awesome. that's what I wanted to know [05:11] einstein2001, that sounds good then, since he says he fixed it on that page [05:11] @changing desktop icon settings [05:11] hey, im about to do a /home backup using the command "tar cvfz output input", is there something i need to exclude while backing up (its just the home partition) [05:11] Can anyone tell me where the desktop icon settings will be stored under Gnome?

[05:11] sotec_prod, you want to install ntfs-3g is you want to write to ntfs [05:11] only reason I was wondering was the right-click option Encrypt... [05:11] Jordan_U, if it can still read.. it solves his problem. ;) [05:11] RaZMataZ: ntfs-3g is included ( and used ) by most distros now [05:12] Dr_Willis: I moved the files, rebooted into windows, and they were gone. [05:12] but that's good to know thanks. [05:12] Dr_willis, yes that is what i was looking for, just for next time so i know i can find out by hitting !cube? [05:12] thnks [05:12] I have ntfs-3g installed, and did at that time as well [05:12] yeah, it looks like something i can handle. thanks again.

[05:13] sotec_prod, i imagine it was somthing you did strangely .. if you copy the files.. the data is copied.. [05:13] why I can't kill a process, like scim, "sudo kill -9 PID" but it's still there, what's the problem, I use ubuntu 8.04 [05:13] that's what's so perturbing, that I have all the necessary prerequisites, and the files just vanished after moving them (should have copied first, but I trusted it) [05:13] sotec_prod, as a rule, you don't want to write to the ntfs, unless windows has shutdown cleanly on it. and also to run a chkdsk on the drive first. [05:13] sotec_prod, i would cp and then rm instead of mv. [05:13] hey yall [05:13] thearthur, compizconfig-settings-manager [05:13] does Geany support debugging in the IDE?

[05:25] Finger: Sudo command [05:26] Finger - use sudo in the terminal [05:27] can I get something specific telling me sudo in the console doesnt really tell me how to do it [05:27] launch the terminal program [05:27] Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal [05:27] that will launch a terminal (console program) [05:28] Finger, go to the terminal, then type "sudo nautilus" and then you have a file browser with full permissions [05:28] Finger: to rename a file sudo cp [05:28] At the prompt, type "sudo command_you_want_to_do" [05:28] even better, what tester 5 said [05:28] Does anyone know what a good, current, maintained, and cross-platform (*nix console and windows probably) darknet app ala "WASTE" is?

[05:36]  tester5: surely I did, first , use top to find what's eating CPU, use ps to get further info, then kill, but no work, no error, but it's still there [05:36] where i can input it and it outputs me a link [05:37] try to explain your question here, if possible... [05:37] if it's basic... [05:37] Can anyone help me with my gps (garmin) to work with ubuntu eg running a programe like map source [05:37] Hey guyz, could anyone plz tell me how step by step to get to the xserver configuration? [05:37] well i've got a messed up if else statement somewhere along this, but i cant find it at all [05:37] im positive its correct [05:38] gsevil, what if you try the gnome-system-monitor (click system>administration>system monitor)... it has a process list, and you can right click and choose kill [05:38] paste.ubuntu.com entropy89 [05:38] BiNaRyCoDe, the xserver is configured by the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. theres various tools to alter that file. Its just an ascii/text file [05:38] it's not correct... or you wouldn't be asking, right? [05:39] system/systemproperties/deamons givs a authfailure! whats up? [05:39] ckyle, 'very logical ' :) [05:39] isolate the code into it's own function and then start stripping it down... you'll find the problem if you're methodical [05:39] is this a connflict with rcconf? [05:40]  tester5: i prefer command line. and I think that's problem. [05:40] Can anyone help me out with a RAID 1 issue? [05:40] http://paste.ubuntu.com/41446/ - towards the bottom [05:40] i feel like i've got a bracket misplaced but i've look it over for 15 minutes. nothin' [05:40] (line 56) [05:40] Alright, let's see if anyone can help me tackle this this time. :-) [05:41] gsevil, maybe it is getting killed but then respawning right away. does the PID change every time you try to kill it? [05:41] entropy89, a editor with 'folding' features comes in handy at such times. [05:41] ckyle: I know its 'just' a text file but still I'm a first time linux user and I dont know how to edit the file, I just installed ubuntu and I need to configure the file in order to make it work [05:41] dr_willis: reccomendations? [05:41] BiNaRyCoDe, 'sudo nano /path/to/file' BACKUP THE ORIGINAL first. [05:41] I installed KDE 3 and KDE 4 through sudo apt-get install kubunt-desktop && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop, and now I want to remove both KDE 3, KDE 4, and all the packages they installed. How can I do this? [05:42] BiNaRyCoDe: first do sudo cp /path/to/file /path/to/file.bak [05:42] gsevil: what is the program thta you are trying to kill? [05:42] The problem is that I dont have a login prompt to type anything [05:42] entropy89, ive been using geany a lot lately. colorisez and folds and has lots of neat features [05:42] corinth, sudo apt-get remove [05:42] BiNaRyCoDe, 'alt-ctrl-f1' to get to the console perhaps? [05:42] When I boot computer it boots the linux loader image then goes blank....so how can I get to the command prompt? [05:42] ok [05:43] corinth, ah nevermind, I see what you're asking [05:43] Khisanth: I want to kill what process is eating CPU, like tracker, evolution, and restart scim to load new configuration, but I [05:43] BiNaRyCoDe, try the recovery/rescue feature from the grub menu? [05:43] tester5: As I understand it, kubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-kde4-desktop are both metapackages, and therefore removing them will only remove those packages, right? [05:43] remove the final } - line 64 [05:43] .meetme [05:43] corinth, correct. Unless you used appitude to install them [05:44] tester5: PID was not change, that's problem [05:44] nevermind - that closes main() [05:44] !puregnome | corinth [05:44] corinth: If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome » [05:44] Dr_willis: it does the same thing--goes blank screen, I need to configure zee file --xorg [05:44] corinth, I would have used aptitude to install them.. [05:44] BiNaRyCoDe, if the recovery/rescue mode gives a blank screen.. then ya got a bigger issue.. It dosent spawn X if i recall correctly. so its not a xorg.conf issue. [05:45] corinth, yeah, there is an interesting discussion about that here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=498077 [05:45] By the way anyone know if a radeon 7200 video card works with ubuntu?????? [05:45] What's the big difference between using apt-get and aptitude? I typically use apt-get because it's faster for me, since I usually have a terminal open. [05:45] ckyle, nothin. same error, same line [05:45] and where's ubuntu store boot script for program like scim, evolution, I want to disable them [05:45] corinth, I think it's mentioned in that link [05:45] Yeah, just read that. Wow, I'll be smarter next time, heh. [05:45] corinth: Theyre different programs. Aptitude has a little textmode gui if you call it with no arguments. But with arguments they're comperable. [05:46] BiNaRyCoDe, so when you selecte revovery you dont see a lot of 'text' messages go scrolling by eh? [05:46] I do [05:46] but [05:46] I am wondering if a radeon 7200 videocard works with ubuntu [05:46] it seems not to [05:46] Anyone know of a similar guide for removing KDE 4? [05:46] gsevil: System -> Preferences -> Session [05:46] Working with 'X' is one thing - it should work with the console, [05:46] gsevil: those should be in /etc/init.d but I don't see why evolution would be in there [05:47] gsevil: or scim [05:47] remove curly brace at end of line 44 - ya's got an extra one there [05:47] Dr_willis: running recovery mode [05:47] I dont use ati cards any more. so i have no idea what ones work anymore [05:47] Guys, How would I go about adding ~/.Xmodmap to the startup? [05:48]  Jordan_U , Khisanth : I prefer command line, disable evolution cause it ate CPU 100%, and I use thunderbird [05:48] entropy89 - remove } at end of line 44 [05:48] It has my multimedia keys configured in there, and last thing I need is to get it to run at startup rather then manually [05:48] BiNaRyCoDe, you might want to disable the 'framebuffer' in the normal boot options. that may be why you are seeing no error messages on a normal bootup. [05:48] I see error messages [05:48] Barqs, i thought the normal X startup did read that file. [05:48] gsevil: sudo apt-get remove evolution :) [05:48] BiNaRyCoDe, thats a start at least. :) [05:48] corinth, I believe on the forums there is a post with each package you can remove.. [05:49] Dr_willis: Oh, it does by default? Finally something convenient :O. Btw, turns out that m4a file i was trying to play was corrupted. I wonder how that happened... Anywho, thanks for the help! [05:49] ckyle, damn. sure enough. why doesn't that bracket end the if (gross_pay>=0) statement though? [05:49] Barqs, :) [05:49] Dr_willis: everytime the "Loading Hardware Drivers" appears its takes forever and then it doesnt say ok [05:49] ahh! it does. i had another if else fit in between! [05:50] ckyle, thank you sir! [05:50] Dr_willis: the loading hardware drivers takes forever and doesnt say ok [05:50] gaga [05:50] I'm requesting help for a RAID 1 array, any takers? [05:50] entropy89 - that's what line 50 is for ;-) [05:51] How can you zoom? [05:51] Khisanth: what i want is to understand why I can't kill a process, and how to disable some services, not uninstall them. [05:51] BiNaRyCoDe, you may need to manally install the ati/fglrx drivers from the command line. then test them with 'startx' perhaps. [05:51] is there a way to stop a user from changing there screen saver ? [05:51] cheesemold, i'll take it. Send it to me... :D [05:51] Dr_willis: would a nvidia Velocity 128 work with ubuntu??? [05:51] corinth, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [05:51] neil_d, i recall gnome and kde both having some sort of koisk/locked down settings feature.. but ive never used it. [05:52] BiNaRyCoDe, it should. [05:52] ok [05:52] daedric, I need to make a RAID 1 array where one of the drives i wish to use already has the partition i want mirrored [05:52] !grub [05:52] BiNaRyCoDe, most nvidia cards work better then ati [05:52] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [05:52] ckyle, i knew it had to be a damned bracket somewhere! haha thanks. any good compilers you know of use the line system? [05:52] great....so now I have to figure how to configure the xserver file to configure it for the nvidia velocity [05:52] gsevil, not all process can be killed... and even those that can... sometimes they enter such a bad state that even then the kernel cannot kill them. As to disable "services" i would check /etc/init.d [05:52] where it uses "lines" to break down if else statements and the whatnot [05:52] alright.... now I needa have a talk with my girlfriend... she somehow got a program named "penis" into /usr/bin... and I was randomly typing things in a terminal.... and it said "I AM A PENIS!"... so I'm guessing she's learning C? =D [05:52] gsevil: but evolution is not a service [05:53] BiNaRyCoDe, 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx' or nvidia-glx-legacy, or nvidia-glx-new :) should do it [05:53] neil_d, how about deleting all the other screen savers [05:53] BiNaRyCoDe, dependign on how old the card is [05:53] heh [05:53] cheesemold, that should not be a issue. you would just have to reactivate the array with both the new old drive (with data) and with the new drive. [05:53] tester5: how would I do that ? [05:53] the system SHOULD notices the diference and begin restoring the array. [05:53] alas... the actual method... depends on how are you trying to solve the RAID problem [05:54] hey, does ubuntu use aiglx, or xgl, for the graphical effects? [05:54] jimmio: she should submit that to the testing repository. :) [05:54] you refered partition... perhaps a FD type partition... for Linux SoftRaid. [05:54] Dr_Willis: how can I get to the command prompt in linux? do I have to press a key combination at boot up or what? [05:54] daedric, what do you mean how i'm trying to solve it? I'm thinking of using 'mdadm' [05:54] does this thing keep a log? [05:54] no but the internet does [05:54] blak: this thing has a name? [05:55] google irc logs [05:55] daedric, I don't think so, and it doesn't need to boot off it. I have a computer with 3 drives, two are the identical data drives, the third is what i boot off of [05:55] SecMonk: Yea... needs a bit of work to make it into the repositories I think [05:55] djhash, does the Ubuntu server keep a log that I can read? [05:55] BiNaRyCoDe, if you boot 'normally' to X. the consoles are on the alt-ctrl-F1 through F6 screens. [05:55] blak: /var/logs [05:55] daedric: my problem is that every guide i've looked up has a step that instructs you to reformat the raid 1 after you make it to "make it usable" [05:55] cheesemold, question... are you restoring a array... or creating one ? [05:55] sorry.. thats /var/log [05:55] thanks [05:55] gsevil: you can use update-rc.d to enable/disable services from the command line [05:56] BiNaRyCoDe, I have no idea why the ati card is messing up the console. Could be the framebuffer. may not be.. [05:56] is their an anonymous surfing app for ubuntu [05:56] blak, http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ [05:56] daedric: creating an array where i have manually made both drives contain the data i want saved (sort of a manual raid1..) [05:56] DOT3CH, 'TOR' is an anomizer proxy [05:57] entropy89 - Anjuta has the line system with it's plug-in editor - just have to turn that feature on [05:57] Is there a way to zoom in on desktop [05:57] neil_d, do the users know linux very well? [05:57] Hm... Is there anyway to change the default file browser? I've checked preferred applications to no avail. [05:57] how to restart my sound [05:57] vipaca, compiz has such a feature. If you use compiz. :) [05:57] tester5: no, and they don't have sudo access [05:57] cheesemold, to create a array in linux... a software controled array... you must have 2 or more partitions of a SPECIAL type... type fd in fdisk. [05:57] daedric: i even have my data saved to a THIRD drive just in case.. but resorting to that would be slow over USB [05:57] why cant i sudo ./anything? [05:57] can you do this with metacity? [05:57] cheesemold, you can't just use softraid directly with ext3 or xfs or ntfs... [05:58] H4shsha: Be more explicit. [05:58] why sound stops working when i play something in mozilla [05:58] neil_d, if they don't know what they're doing, maybe you should just hide then screensaver settings out of the menu [05:58] daedric: oh no.. [05:58] H4shsha: perhaps you forgot to make the file executable? [05:58] user@user-desktop:~$ sudo "./perlscript" [05:58] sudo: ./perlscript: command not found [05:58] For Anjuta, go to menu - Edit / Preferences - select "GtkViewEditor" on left side... has a "enable line numbers" checkbox [05:58] cheesemold, oh no ? :D [05:58] does ubuntu come with teh ability to properly handle M4a media properly? [05:58] sudo perl ./perlscript maybe? [05:58] Sometimes it works(?) [05:58] daedric: both drives that are set up with my manual redundency are of ext3.. [05:58] fuck u all [05:58] tester5: oh! the obvious, I didn't think of that. [05:59] H4shsha, if its not in the current directory - it wont be found witn ./ [05:59] Dabbu: thats very mature of you.. :-) [05:59] THANX GUYS [05:59] !language | Dabbu [05:59] Dabbu: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [05:59] it is in the current dir... [05:59] djhash:thanks [05:59] cheesemold, then... you must delete the linuxtype partition... create a partition of the format fd in both drives... create the array with mdadm, and copy all the data thru usb from that 3rd drive of your. [05:59] yours* [05:59] H4shsha: Are you using "? [05:59] no other way. [05:59] !patience | Dabbu [05:59] Dabbu: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [05:59] I tried usin g" [06:00] and ' [06:00] what if you don't use anything? [06:00] daedric: there's no simpler way? even making a raid 1 out of a single drive, putting the data onto it from my other drive, and then expanding it? [06:00] Hamled: did you make the file executable? [06:00] H4shsha: did you make the file executable? [06:01] Hamled: sorry, wrong nick. [06:01] cheesemold, to make it technical... you can only add to a array made with mdadm partitions of the type fd [06:01] Dabbu - you are a child [06:01] using sudo perl perlscript? [06:01] dabbu what sound is not working [06:01] prince_jammys, np [06:01] H4shsha: chmod u+x perlscript [06:01] alright guys, one last thing (not c++ related). I've got a usb headset and speakers (3.5mm plugged). How can i switch between them? in windows it's as simple as opening the sound manager and disabling one to enable the other... [06:01] cheesemold, alas... you COULD do that. [06:01] neil_d, i've never tried this, but if you remove the package "alacarte" after, then they might not be able to right click on the menu and add things back [06:01] asoundconf -list [06:01] daedric: I feel like that would be faster, considering the slowness of usb [06:01] err wrong window [06:01] create a RAID1 with 1 drive (if mdadm allows it... think so), and then add the second drive. [06:02] daedric: and safer [06:02] perhaps :D [06:02] you have 1 drive that's expendable... correct? [06:02] create the array with that drive. :D [06:02] H4shsha: terminal> which sudo [06:02] heh [06:02] woops, i thought that was just for permissions [06:02] samo:no sound is playing except real player [06:02] seems to work now [06:03] samo:is there any way i can restart sound service [06:03] daedric: this is kind of like using stepping stones while crossing a river, when you need to keep moving the stones yourself, isn't it? [06:03] H4shsha: it is for permissions :) you didn't have permission to run it. [06:03] Dabbu: You can normally only have one program using the audio device at the same time. close realplayer. [06:03] mv Dabbu /dev/null [06:03] ckyle, that is not helpful [06:03] ok [06:03] yea but easyer just to restart x (ctrl-alt-backspace) [06:04] ckyle:what does this command do [06:04] daedric: it does :) [06:04] just what it says... [06:04] Dabbu, it's nothing helpful, ignore it. [06:05] jimmio:what i am telling is that whenever i wath or listem something in mozilla...after that every other player and all sound in my system stops playing [06:05] dabbu under sound in preferences try changing between ALSA and pulse audio [06:06] mv ckyle /dev/disk/caviar/ [06:06] I have a tablet pc and i would like to kn9w how can i enable the stylus [06:06] thanks again for the help ckyle, have a good one all. [06:06] !ot | tester5 [06:06] tester5: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!

[06:08] I know there is a linux someone made for audio recording and editing... [06:08] H4shsha: Ubuntu Studio? [06:08] Ubuntu-studio i think [06:08] any acid-style program in there? [06:08] I just tryed switching to pulseaudio? I still cannot run youtube and rhythmbox.... le sigh. [06:09] H4shsha: yes [06:09] anyone knows how to enable the stylus on a tablet pc? mine is a toshiba r15 s-829 [06:09] daedic: can i have ext3 as the final file system of the RAID1 after it is set up?

It plays audio perfectly. Just not Rhythmbox audio and Flash. [06:11] is it called ardour? [06:11] H4shsha: yes [06:11] now i when i try to remove it using aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop [06:11] it doesn;t work [06:11] any ideas ? [06:11] a_run, remove kde? [06:11] !puregnome | a_run [06:11] Hi all [06:11] a_run: If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome » [06:11] i thought removing kubuntu-desktop will automatically remove all kde stuff [06:12] do you have to make your own loops for it, or is there free ones? [06:12] some one here ? [06:12] H4shsha: there are free ones iirc [06:12] ubot5: will try that, thanx [06:12] a_run: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:12] So, how long do you think it'd take a completely new person to Ubuntu to convert completely from Windows to Ubuntu? [06:12] heya folks [06:12] I have problame with installing VHCS2 On Ubuntu Server 8.04 [06:12] i just installed ubuntu on my macbook pro, but when i try to boot it i get a blank screen, and the cursor flashes [06:12] thoughts? [06:12] And, do they have Internet Explorer for Ubuntu? [06:12] Threethan: deoends highly on the person. [06:12] just a cursor in the top left [06:13] the video player on youtube is in flash so that must work, not sure about rythmbox tho [06:13] oops [06:13] :p [06:13] thanks guys. Peace [06:13] Threethan: depends on what you want to do with it ... and no IE is not available for Linux. [06:13] Threethan, I perfer other browsers.. but there are some wine tools to install IE under wine [06:13] samo: I realize this... all audio applications work great.... but not flash AND another one. [06:13] samo: Flash isn't playing nicely =( [06:13] Oh, the only reason I ask is because the company I work for is only set up to run through IE. [06:13] I prefer Firefox or Opera, myself. [06:14] jimmio, running IE in wine and expecting flash to work.. is a VERY long shot. [06:14] Threethan: IE versions up to 6.0 can be installed through wine and work ok for the most part. [06:14] Crap. Guess I have to keep Windows for a little while longer then. [06:14] Flash is getting to be the #1 problem these days. [06:14] Threethan: you can install explorer with ie4linux, it's the easier way :) [06:14] Dr_willis.... I'm running firefox.... oi vej people XD [06:14] !ies4linux | Threethan [06:14] Threethan: ies4linux is a script that quickly and effortlessly helps you install 3 versions of IE in Wine. Information can be found at http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page including instructions specifically for Ubuntu. ies4linux is aimed at web designers and ie-only sites, so please, don’t use any of the IEs to navigate! Use Firefox! [06:15] Wow, that's hot. [06:15] Is it possible to install Ubuntu on a Toshiba Portege 3500 (no built in cd-rom, bios doesn't appear to allow booting off USB first (or at all))? I have a external cd-rom through the pc-card. [06:16] jimmio, ive noticed that cbs.com flash stopped working for me even under windows - with firefox. [06:16] try installing a different flash player, thats all i can think of here [06:16] br10ta10: can it boot to that external CD ROM? [06:16] doesn't look like it. i put the ubuntu cd in and tell it to boot off of the cd, but nothing lights up and windows (on the hdd) boots [06:17] Flash is buggy. Oh well. Make your own? =P [06:17] try dissconnecting the HDD and then booting from CD [06:18] br10ta10: maybe you should try tapping a key on the keyboard. Sometimes, there is a small prompt, "press any key to boot from the cd" BUT, I thought that was only a windows thing [06:19] what OS is currently installed? [06:19] if you cursor at power-on time, i get to choose between five icons [06:19] daedric: HEY! I think i was able to create a raid 1 with 1 drive and it kept the original data on that drive! [06:19] Hi again, I only have one last simple question then my buntu box is fully setup.. thank god. How do I make pulseaudio the default for my system rather then alsa? [06:19] how can i know which driver my wireless card is using? [06:19] daedric: how do I double check things to make sure the raid 1 is in proper working order? [06:19] HDD, CD, network, floppy (there is none), and what i can only imagine is USB (crappy graphics) [06:20] hi everyone [06:20] selecting CD or USB(?) still boots windows [06:20] can some one help me setup css to wach dvd plesae [06:20] under prefs sound? [06:20] i got libdvdnav4 [06:20] and libdvdread3 [06:20] I remember reading somewhere about editing a conf file and switching = alsa to = pulse, but I TOTALLY forgot which conf file that was.. silly me. [06:20] but when i run command i got error message === tscolin is now known as _tscolin [06:20] Windows XP [06:21] !medibuntu > aa28 [06:21] aa28, please see my private message [06:21] aa28, please see my private message [06:21] well if you can use the OS, install using wubi [06:21] samo: br10ta10: you dont need the < and > around the nicknames.. just type the name.. you also have autocomplete.. press tab after first few characters.. [06:21] Why would I get a error for inserting battery?? [06:21] ok, i'll look into that. thanks. [06:21] samo: Well, that would definitely have been easier then editing a conf file. Sometimes I forget to look. Thanks [06:22] What are some good RPG or Midieval (non first person shooter) games? [06:22] hi [06:22] Speaking of Wubi, for anyone wondering, it works BEAUTIFULLY.... unless the windows boot.ini was removed and modified by a system admin in a school.... then it doesn't.

[06:27] folks, really need some help with ubuntu on this MBp [06:27] when you insert a cd it automatically mounts it. does anybody know where it does this? so i could get it to perform custom actions when a cd is inserted [06:27] MBP [06:27] not much space left [06:27] mib, which version do you have, and which version do you need [06:28] R 2.2 [06:28] for example if it is a dvd run vlc or some such on it [06:28] and i need 2.6 or 2.7 [06:28] so if someone puts a dvd in it automatically start playing [06:28] ok i fixed it [06:28] thanks guys [06:28] a lot [06:29] !info r [06:29] Package r does not exist in hardy [06:29] Package r does not exist in hardy [06:29] nope..i m using dapper now [06:29] nottaken: System->Preferences->Removable Media and Drives [06:30] why can I see all directories on my iPod (usb harddrive) in Nautilis but can't see them from a terminal ls command?

[06:35] mib: Try "sudo apt-get clean" to clear out old package files before, then again after the upgrade, do you think you will have space then? [06:35] Has anyone used Work Bench? [06:36] oh. [06:36] any other ideas why i can view a usb drive in natilis but not from the command terminal [06:36] mib: the only way which might work (depending if your libraries are new enough for the new version of R) is to compile and install R from source.

[06:38] BiNaRyCoDe: is it a problem booting the live CD or is ubuntu already installed on your HDD and won't boot up?

[06:56] I wish I could screenshot the screen for ya pajamian [06:56] i read about the card itself is bad [06:56] onthefence9282: first you install the build dependancies with: sudo apt-get build-dep pidgin [06:56] BiNaRyCoDe: Have you tried installing more than once? [06:56] no [06:57] onthefence9282: then you download the tarball from pidgin website, unpack it and follow the directions. [06:57] DOT3CH: It's Widget Layer... [06:57] under the Desktop section. [06:57] pajamian: not pidgin, the plug-in [06:57] it has to do with drivers -- livecd only uses generic drivers thats why I am able to use it but the installation trys to use drivers that are not supported by my hardware.... [06:57] onthefence9282: I would do both, but similar instructions for the plugin [06:58] BiNaRyCoDe: Maybe it was just a failed install for some reason, it might install fine with the alternate install CD or maybe do an integrity check on the CD you have ( it's an option at boot or you can check the md5sum ) [06:59] mwahaha damn i'm evil! couldn't find a way so i just renamed the totem executable (i use vlc anyway) and replaced it with an executable of my own. works like a charm [07:00] Jordon_U: If I open the ipod root folder in Natilus, then right click and goto properties, click on my permissions tab... it says Group:root, Folder access:None, File access: --- [07:00] nottaken: will work until there's a package update for totem which will replace the executable on you again.

[07:15] disting, yes it is [07:15] bazhang but my modem does not support it [07:15] :S [07:15] a_run, try apt-get autoremove as the error prescribed [07:15] bazhang i use a chinise modem [07:15] ianm_, i dont recall it ever being in the GUI setup [07:15] hello guys can anyone help me ...... i have to access my windows partition in linux and i have improperly shutdown in windows !!!!! [07:15] what controls usb automount points? [07:15] can any1 help pls [07:16] can anyone help me in forcing to mount a drive [07:16] ihcus, if you have entries in the fstab file. you can mount them from the command line. [07:16] ihcus, mount -t ntfs /dev/hd* mountpoint -0 force [07:16] ihcus: did you try to log into windows and shut it down properly? [07:16] disting, if your modem does not work then you either need to get one that does, or find a way to make that one work; have you checked the model and make with linux in a search engine? ubuntuforums.org may have something as well. [07:16] or use the full mount command line/options like Xperiment62 said. :) [07:16] bazhang: http://pastebin.com/d6358e57 [07:16] or shut it down properly [07:17] a_run: maybe you could try reinstalling kio-umount [07:17] Xperiment62: ihcus Please don't suggest forcing a mount on an unclean FS unless necisary [07:17] danbhfive: i tried that [07:17] i cant try to logi in to windows i busted windows [07:17] sorry bout that [07:17] but it errors on removing it again [07:17] well forceing ntfs - in read only.. should be 'decently safe' shouldent it? [07:17] bazhang do u know any soft. that will help to run all window programs in linux? [07:17] ihcus: You can try mounting it read only, or try "ntfsfix", but try mounting read only first [07:17] Xperiment62: where do i do that> and how do i do that ? [07:17] ianm_ yeah restarting x. [07:17] Dr_willis: hm, ok. well I found the option in the config, going to killall -HUP gdm [07:18] disting, not all but wine does pretty well; additionally there are linux equivalents to most windows apps. [07:18] Jordan_U, forcing ntfs volumes hasn't caused errors for me. May i ask why this might be a problem if i know why the file system is giving this error? (like unsafe removal of external HD) [07:18] ianm_, alt-ctrl-backspace will force X to restart also. :) do it from the gdm login.. or check the gdm menus.. it may have a ;restart x server' option === dVs- is now known as dVs [07:18] bazhang hmm [07:18] ihcus: in terminal with super user priveliges [07:18] a_run: sudo dpkg --configure -a ?? [07:19] prince_jammys, it hasn't done anything for awhile [07:19] wizzer: what did you type? [07:19] bazhang i use 126 ram , 780 mb processor. is it compatiable to run ubuntu 8? [07:19] question.... how do I get gDesklets to be over all windows?... [07:19] hi all. I have successfully installed Ubuntu on my PC. Now I'd like to see the eye candy, specifically the Beryl type stuff. Please help me get it going [07:19] danbhfive: ? [07:19] wizzer: you probably made a typo and it's waiting for input :) [07:19] a_run: whats the output of that command? [07:19] disting, no that will not do it in terms of ram; you could try fluxbuntu if you wish [07:19] Varange, installing the drivers for your graphics card will let you use all the graphical eye candy. Check under system -> administration -> hardware drivers. [07:19] tr -d /home/user/Desktop/cats.lst [07:19] danbhfive: nothing [07:19] wizzer: nope [07:19] hischild: Writing to a file system that is in an inconsistent state is just a bad idea, especially if it isn't necessary [07:20] gives back the prompt [07:20] do i need the wizzer: that's not what i typed [07:20] :( [07:20] hischild, thx, brb [07:20] hmm [07:20] Jordan_U, there's a difference between an unchecked and inconsistent state. NTFS is usually saying it's in an unchecked state instead of inconsistent. [07:20] wizzer: press control c to stop it. [07:20] a_run: dpkg --force-remove kio-umountwrapper [07:20] when i put that < in there, it says the file doesn't exist [07:20] hischild, it says "no proprietary drivers on this system" [07:20] yeah i did that [07:20] bazhang whats is minimum memory needed to run ubuntu 8 [07:20] Varange, what graphics card do you have? [07:21] hischild, no idea [07:21] disting, i've done it on a 64mb ram with 8mb vid card [07:21] wizzer: tr -d '\r' < /home/user/Desktop/cats.lst [07:21] hischild, it does the OpenGL stuff though [07:21] wizzer: and let me know if it looks different. [07:21] disting, how slow are you willing to accept? [07:21] anyone know an easy way to get an ATI graphics card running in Dual head mode [07:21] danbhfive: dpkg: unknown force/refuse option `remove' [07:21] hischild ubunti 8!!!!!!!! [07:21] hischild: If that's true then ntfsfix will be able to fix it, if he was writing to a file when he lost power then that might not be true, and either way he might have just needed read access, so why risk it? [07:21] Varange, run this command to find your graphics card --> lspci | grep VGA [07:21] bazhang lol bro i want to make is faster and faster [07:21] :) [07:21] Jordan_U, good point. [07:21] disting, then get more ram [07:21] disting, yes, ubuntu 8.04 [07:22] hischild how come [07:22] bash: tr -d '\r' < /home/user/Desktop/cats.lst: No such file or directory [07:22] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [07:22] hischild, [07:22] disting, i'm going to give a presentation and workshop at my school and i've gotten a few old computers to work with from them. One of them is this pc i've installed it in. [07:22] guys it says volume is corrupt [07:23] Dr_willis: still seems to require a reboot. :/ [07:23] can u tell me how do i repair it [07:23] wizzer: did you put the whole thing in quotes or something? [07:23] hi, i can successfully mount a sshfs as root, but then trying to ls it as a normal user gives me "Permission denied"... any hints? [07:23] no [07:23] can you change the name of an automounted disk which appears on the desktop [07:23] disting, do you have ubuntu installed now? [07:23] hischild can i get ur slides for viewing them :P [07:23] ianm_, perhaps. I never really messed with it much. [07:23] Varange, im afraid i don't have experience with intel cards. Perhaps that someone else in the channel will be able to help you. [07:23] no quotes [07:23] ok thx hischild [07:23] disting, yes you can :-) will still be another week or 2 before i'm finished. [07:23] a_run: maybe try just --remove instead of --force-remove [07:23] or keep a drive mounted, but don't show it on the desktop somehwo [07:23] bazhang no im using xp now.. i tried fedora but..... i earned a bad experience [07:23] :( [07:24] zeeeee: You don't need to be root to mount an sshfs [07:24] hischild ohh thanx [07:24] disting, then please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic as this is the support channel thanks [07:24] bazhang okk thanks [07:24] tc [07:25] a_run: and I have one last option if that fails [07:25] I'm having trouble setting up a RAID1 array, any help? [07:25] Jordan_U, i know, i've successfully mounted as my normal user before... but i'd like all users on the system to be able to access this share, and i assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that if i mounted as my normal user, then other users would similarly be unable to access it (just as non-root users cannot access the root-mounted share) [07:26] a_run: sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/kio-umountwrapper.postrm [07:26] tr -d '\r' < /home/colin/Desktop/mEgaPWL.lst [07:26] oops [07:26] got it to work [07:26] wizzer: did it print it the way you wanted?

[07:33] Jordan_U: that uses the fglrx driver which is closed source [07:33] thinkgnu, look at the sources.list file, copy a line, edit it and add the new url i guess.. [07:34] Xperiment62: I am guessing that System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution doesn't work? [07:34] Yay, now that I've got gDesklets running the way I want.... now I just needa make a USEFUL one =P [07:34] danbhfive: that last rm worked, thanx [07:34] Jordan_U: doesnt give me the option of 1280x1024 which is what i want and doesnt have dual head setups === Fran__ is now known as spideyman [07:35] thinkgnu, you cant [07:35] Jordan_U: also note: using Xubuntu instead of Ubuntu till next month [07:35] a_run: just so you know what it did, it didnt remove it, it just removed the record of it.

[08:42] yes [08:42] but I have tried it [08:42] lakikikialiao, more info at appdb and #winehq [08:42] lakikikialiao, he is wrong, you should use virtualbox [08:43] Virtual box ??? [08:43] so.. is there some niffy config program to edit the xorg.conf to change the resolution of xorg... [08:43] lakikikialiao, yeah, it has 100percent compatibility with windows.... it makes a box that you can install windows into [08:43] lakikikialiao: Have you tried the package "spider" from synaptic? [08:43] or should i go in and set up the entire xorg.conf manually so i can use my entire screen :/ [08:43] hischild: thanks for a ton of help! So now it mounts, has the proper name, etc. When I right click and eject it, it tells me I do not have permissions to do so. what option am I missing in fstab or is it a chmod or chown thing on the media directory?

How do I install a game that actually consists of two .deb files? I am assuming they depend on each other... so is there a way to install them both? [08:44] lakikikialiao, see, here is a picture of virtualbox: http://www.souslestoits.net/blog/public/billets/virtualbox.jpg [08:44] loquitus_of_borg, which game [08:44] csa3d, instead of defaults or what is you've written, do user. So you get something like UUID="bladiebla" /media/something ext3 user 0 0 [08:44] loquitus_of_borg, one will depend on the other, the other not on the one. Try and see [08:45] bazhang: I am grabbing alot of them off the getubuntu website... most have two files. [08:45] loquitus_of_borg, aha; need a name of game to actually help there. [08:46] lakikikialiao: You can install it via System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager or with this command: "sudo apt-get install spider" It's not the windows version but I assume it's the same rules [08:46] anyone got wifi working in ubuntu [08:46] I just installed Ubuntu on my toshiba portege (thanks guys for the help). One question, I only get 800x600 and less for screen resolution options. Where do I go to get the full potential of the display? Install a new driver? [08:46] snakezx, which chipset [08:47] lakikikialiao, no, install the package "pysol", it has the right game in it [08:47] csa3d, it's time for a break over here. See you in 20 min [08:47] snakezx: I would guess that most here do, just ask your question [08:47] so..yah, how do i go about changing the resolution in ubuntu. I've only done it in gentoo where you edit the xorg.conf file... but won't to know if there is an easy perfered ubuntu way of doing things [08:48] AlfadorJanus, look in the menus, like Preferences>>Screen Resolution [08:48] lakikikialiao, why not install them both [08:48] AlfadorJanus: If you don't have full res in Ubuntu you most likely just need to install the right driver [08:49] Jordan_U, where do i go to do that [08:49] Jordan_U: where does one find drivers? [08:49] ubuntu is all.. watered down and i get lost and make it more complicated than it is :( [08:49] hello.. anybody used ircd here ? [08:49] AlfadorJanus: What GFX card do you have? [08:49] i believe its the intel 815 drivers [08:50] Yes bazhang I will try it [08:50] lakikikialiao, if you install both like bazhang says then it will use up twice the memory [08:50] its a intel laptop chipset [08:50] Malwir, no it wont [08:50] pls let me know if anybody here know hoe to connect to ircd server chat [08:50] bazhang, yes it will if he plays both at the same time [08:50] AlfadorJanus: Then you already have the drivers and it does probably need an xorg.conf modification if System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution doesn't do it [08:51] yes Malwir, Virtual Box is same with VMware, right ? [08:51] lakikikialiao, sudo apt-get install spider pysol [08:51] Allright [08:51] Jordan_U, i'm not sure if they are actually being loaded.. i just know thats the ones it uses [08:51] lakikikialiao, yes, but virtualbox is somewhat easier to get working, since it is all open source, you just install the ubuntu package [08:51] is it possible to upgrade from ubuntu 6.06 lts to 8.04 lts without! a kernel-update? [08:51] from when i used gentoo on the system back when [08:51] kpat & kmajhong [08:51] and did all the configs manually cause... there isn't any other way [08:51] users [08:51] lakikikialiao, you could use vbox or other but seems a lot of effort for just that game :) [08:52] #users [08:52] DIFH-iceroot, why would you want that [08:52] and there is no system->preferences [08:52] DIFH-iceroot: I don't think so, why would you want to keep the old kernel? [08:52] bazhang, virtualbox uses a bit of memory, but you were saying to install TWO games, which also takes up a lot of space too [08:52] Yes, I think so, Malwir [08:52] bazhang: because its a vm, and the kernel is giving from the vm-host [08:52] so i cant update the kernel [08:53] Thanks for your help, bazhang [08:53] lakikikialiao, np ") [08:53] Thankz friend for your help [08:53] AlfadorJanus: There isn't really any other ( good ) way in Ubuntu, just check that your xorg.conf is using the "intel" driver ( i810 is old, it's not a difference between gentoo and Ubuntu but just a change of time ) and the correct resolution is manually added if it's not detected automagically [08:53] DIFH-iceroot, which is the guest and which is the host? [08:53] I just move from Windows to Ubuntu [08:53] !yay | lakikikialiao [08:53] lakikikialiao: Glad you made it! :-) [08:54] !ot bazhang [08:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about ot bazhang [08:54] hah [08:54] Malwir, you need the | [08:54] I know [08:54] bazhang: xen, using ubuntu server edition as host and ubuntu server edition as guest, and the kernel is ginving from xen, so i cant update the kernel [08:54] Jordan_U, found where its hiding [08:54] Malwir, or > [08:54] Thankz, And I think Ubuntu is the great OS !!!

[09:00] right [09:00] is dere any way that one can put shortcut of any folder on desktop for permanent like in windos [09:01] csa3d, what about choosing safely remove [09:01] rj: you should probably learn more about IRC before attempting to run a server. I would say understanding how to use the join command at the very least. [09:01] there's no options for saftely remoe [09:02] have done much study on it, but can't make it connect it from other existing clients like this one. [09:03] how do i list files inclufding those in subdirs? ld -r only lists recersive directorys? [09:03] How do I boot a live cd from a bootloader pompt? [09:03] koshari: try R vs r? [09:03] capital R? [09:03] hello favro [09:04] hi [09:04] thanks, capital R doest it, [09:04] had a question about building binutils, is anyone familiar with it? [09:04] is dere any way toh creat shorcuts [09:04] hey favro, do you know how to start an xubuntu live installer once already in a bootloader? [09:04] koshari: and it's ls, not ld [09:05] pajamian thnx that was a typo [09:05] hey favro.. i saw u came into #1 for a minute.. but could u sent any msgs there ? [09:05] gaurav_, no ubuntu doesn't have any shortcuts. The closest thing is probably links [09:05] Rakeer: I don't use bootloaders [09:05] pajamian havnt used ld since the vic20 days ;-) [09:05] koshari: ;-) [09:05] okh thank you [09:05] rj: didn't try - i'll have a go [09:06] no, u came in .. isaw ur name there in #1 [09:06] er.. [09:06] how do you not use a boot loader? [09:06] you dont use grub or anything? [09:06] rj: nope [09:06] Rakeer: you can't you need to boot from the CD directly [09:06] now i see u joined.. but u r not able to send msgs , is it ?> [09:07] stdin: would it be too hard to change to bootloader thats on the CD with a different one? [09:07] thats what i wanted ls -R > songs.txt [09:07] csa3d, How's themounting going? [09:07] I mean, it laucnhes the bootloader, at some point it inits a string to launch the livecd, right?? [09:07] rj: "cannot send to channel" is what happened [09:07] koshari: you might want to put a -1 in there too [09:08] hischild: I do not have priveleges to unmount my usbdrive, and the old mount directory listing is still present though unconnected [09:08] okay, thanks man.. atleast JOINING works.. [09:08] gaurav launchers? [09:08] hehe [09:08] pajamian what will the -1 do? [09:08] csa3d, hmm... with user added to the options? [09:08] Rakeer: the bootloader on the CD loads the kernel and filesystem image, similar to grub. but CDs use a specific boot loader [09:08] koshari: one file per line [09:09] # Entry for IPOD: [09:09] UUID=FA26-8080 /media/ipod vfat user,auto,umask=000 0 0 [09:09] pajamian ok thanks, allthough it outputted one file per line anyway. [09:09] csa3d, why the umask? [09:09] stdin, "a specific bootloader"? you just said it doesn't use a bootloader [09:09] so how do we get xhost to work on ubuntu? [09:09] @favro: once again pls join #1.. [09:09] Malwir: no, I didn't, at all [09:09] hey all [09:09] security is great and all but X was developed to kick ass; we shouldn't cripple X in this way [09:09] hischild: cuz i copied and pasted it from some ipod thread :/ [09:10] koshari: oh it does too, ls hasn't always for me [09:10] rj: same again === Abra_Away is now known as Abracadabra [09:10] " Rakeer: you can't you need to boot from the CD directly" [09:10] I've gone and edited files around the system and still X gets launched with --no-listen [09:10] /rant [09:10] Malwir: and, in what part of that sentence does it say: "CDs don't have a bootloader" [09:11] csa3d, hmm well try it with the least amount of options that should work ... and did you check the UUID? [09:11] stdin in the part that says "you can't" [09:11] in which package is xls2csv? [09:11] first part of the sentence [09:11] Malwir, please take chat elsewhere [09:11] Malwir: you can't boot it from grub, read the question [09:11] the_gamer: i believe thats a packae [09:11] !info xls2csv [09:11] Package xls2csv does not exist in hardy [09:11] ActionParsnip: but i can't find it? [09:11] sorry bazhang for talking with stdin, clearly I am in the wrong [09:12] Malwir, we have a nice chat room: #ubuntu-offtopic [09:12] the_gamer: its catdoc [09:13] bazhang, good idea. stdin started it, but if it happens again, I will definately go to that channel instead of this one [09:13] the_gamer: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/text/catdoc [09:13] ActionParsnip: ty [09:14] hischild: removing the umask changed nothing, the UUID of the properly renamed ipod connection is correct, the old directory is filled with bogus directories, unconnected, and just needs deleted I'm assuming [09:14] is thre a way to un rar stuff in linux [09:14] nat1: unrar x ./rarfile.rar [09:14] !info unrar | nat1 [09:14] nat1: unrar (source: unrar-nonfree): Unarchiver for .rar files (non-free version). In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:3.7.8-1 (hardy), package size 94 kB, installed size 240 kB [09:15] nat1, in case you didn't see the 3 people above say it, use the command "unrar" [09:15] nat1: or if you install unrar then ark can handle them [09:16] silly question: I have two user accounts on my machine, one being root, the other being "owner". Is there any reason I need to be adding "owner" to the root policy in the system tools? [09:17] csa3d: you dont neer the root account, add your owner account to the sudo group and you can admin using that [09:18] Malwir, why I can't write my MP3 player with ubuntu ??? [09:18] csa3d, hmm ... can you pm me the info of what mount gives you? [09:18] Malwir, I can write my MP3 player very well with windows [09:19] lakikikialiao, what mp3 player is it? [09:19] ActionParsnip: are their security ramifications of enabling sudo on the onwer account? What's different between that and using sudo [09:19] It is MP3 player from Alltronix [09:20] lakikikialiao, which mp3 player [09:20] csa3d: none at all, when you sudo you will need your password to authorise the action. running apps as root is a security risk [09:20] ie exact name and model lakikikialiao [09:20] thanks guys [09:20] sorry ???? [09:20] csa3d: sudo allows you to have root access for the life of the command [09:21] ActionParsnip: but if I give "owner" access to "sudo" privleges, you do away with having to type sudo all the time? [09:21] Malwir, Sorry I don't know [09:21] csa3d, best not to override sudo [09:22] csa3d, hmm not sure, it doesn't show in mount so it shouldn't be there anymore. Reboot if needed to make sure it's gone. [09:22] lakikikialiao, unless your mp3 player is really popular or else it uses a standard USB mass stroage driver, then there is probably no chance you will get the mp3 player to work on ubuntu ever in your life [09:22] csa3d: no, you type sudo every time you need root priveledges [09:22] csa3d: you therefore have no need for root [09:23] Malwir: he can learn to write drivers! [09:23] csa3d: as I say....root is moot :D [09:23] lakikikialiao, try plugging it in then type lsusb in the terminal [09:23] Malwir, I try write with sudo privledges but it still not work [09:23] domas, that is hardly likely as he is new. [09:23] how do i clean unwanted files on ubuntu as in windows [09:23] lakikikialiao, can you see what is on it in ubuntu?? [09:24] geev: you mean lisk disk cleanup? [09:24] bazhang: "in your life" :) [09:24] ActionParsnip: well, it is saying that deleting an administrative account would leave the system unstable.. which is why i left windows in the first place [09:24] bazhang: thats a long term [09:24] Malwir, It says "read-only filesystem" [09:24] ;) [09:24] hello [09:24] domas, right, but he want music now :) [09:24] csa3d: oh no, root will always be there, you just dont need to actually use the account [09:25] All greetings. There is here a lucid mind what to help me? [09:25] At me a problem at loading with life CD writes here such errors: SQUASHFS error: [09:25] lakikikialiao, but are you saying you can see the files in the mp3 player, in the file manager? [09:25] ActionParsnip: There doesn't seem to be a "sudo" group in the user manage groups section [09:25] csa3d: might be sudoers [09:25] firmabos20034, md5 the iso and reburn at low speed [09:25] !md5 | firmabos20034 [09:25] firmabos20034: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [09:25] Malwir, Yes I can [09:25] i dont know what is that cos i am newbie to linux how to remove cookies offline empting trash as in window [09:26] ActionParsnip: seems like i have admin and root as viable options [09:26] [GNOME, ssh] Places > Connect to Server > Service type: SSH, Server: 192.168.178.10, Bookmark name: MD97600, Add bookmark asserted.

Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [09:27] Malwir: gksu nautilus dude [09:27] lakikikialiao, use gksudo and not sudo with gui apps [09:27] bazhang: thats a good motivator! :) [09:27] has anyone here ever compiled binutils?

[11:30] oh oh....thanks man...i ll surely take that into my consideration first [11:30] arvind_khadri, I cannot wipe everything as I have a LOT of important information on there... partitions seem okay when I mount them in livecd [11:30] pajamian, I've used for some time on my laptop. and had no problems [11:30] does anyone of u know how do i install qt [11:31] well, last time I tried 64 bit was feisty, maybe there have been improvements since then. [11:31] reehan, sudo apt-get install qt-3 [11:31] agent, copy them somewhere...and then have a new geometry [11:31] ok [11:32] ok, tnx2all, bye! [11:32] pajamian, honestly, I have no clue to that.. But worked for me :) [11:32] what's a linux-compatible, cheap tablet? i don't care much about pressure sensistivity, but i want the x/y pixel measurements to be accurate [11:32] its giving cudnt find package qt-3 [11:32] :( [11:32] !qt | reehan [11:32] reehan: Qt is the Qt (pronounced "cute") toolkit, which forms the base of KDE and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI. Install the libqt3-mt-dev package to compile Qt 3 applications or libqt4-dev for Qt 4 applications. Qt 4.4 is available from hardy-backports [11:33] eitri: when I tried it in feisty, I had to install a seperate copy of 32 bit FF just to get flash and java to work properly. the 32 bit plugin wrapper didn't work for me. [11:33] isn't ubuntu intrepid ibex alpha 4 completely uninstallable ? once just launched, the cd install reports a kernel error [11:34] besides wiping all partitions, any ideas on how to fix grub/mbr?

How can i clear them off? my root's trash @ /root/.local/share/Trash/ does not have those files [11:35] agent: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [11:35] acemo, find /boot/grub/stage1, root(hdX,X), setup(hdX)... done that a few times already :( [11:36] =o [11:36] that pretty much worked for me [11:36] Zhane: if you rm -rf them they are gone [11:36] maybe you put it on wrong partition? [11:36] acemo, and i installed ubuntu after windows :D and annoying thing is, i cannot even recover the windows bootloader now :( [11:37] pajamian.. i rm -rf a few of the 200mb files.. but they are still present when i do "df" [11:37] thats weird.. installing linux after windows always gone good for me [11:37] I have a general linux question. Is there something like Active Directory in the Linux world? central authentication (via samba for windows clients?), ability to run startup scripts, map network drives, set up printers for the domain, group policies, etc? [11:37] acemo, i doubt it because grub is installed but gives fatal errors [11:37] the disk space doesnt change [11:37] acemo, yea, me too... this is the first time some weird thing like this has happened [11:37] Sorcererbob use openldap [11:37] Zhane: then they are probably hard linked somewhere else in the file system. [11:37] openldap, thanks krisbae [11:37] Sorcererbob openldap and other services [11:37] can you name the other services? [11:38] pajamian: what can I do? [11:38] Zhane: find the other place where they are listed and remove them from there too [11:38] Pajamian: how? [11:38] Sorcererbob dhcpd . bind , samba , etc and.. you can control system with ssh [11:38] Zhane: in Linux filesystems a file can have more than one directory entry, the actual file doesn't get removed until all its directory entries are deleted. [11:38] oh cool, yeah I figured those [11:38] Sorcererbob many services support ldap authentification [11:39] I thought you meant something secret and magical. again, thanks for your help krisbae [11:39] pajamian: i did rm -rf to the main directory though [11:39] krisbae: in reference to your answer to Sorcererbob.... Can OpenLdap take the place of a DC? [11:39] how can i install flying windows ccsm plugin? [11:40] Zhane: I know, and the only explanation I can think of is that either the file is hard linked somewhere else or you are mistaken and you really did recover the space or there was an error in the filesystem when you removed the file. [11:40] Aquahallic not totaly [11:41] k... ty [11:41] Aquahallic as you know openldap is just authentification [11:41] okay then [11:41] Aquahallic you need to configure other services with ldap [11:41] i guess all that i can do is to reinstall [11:41] Zhane: no, there is other ways [11:41] i dont know what else I can do [11:41] DC has more powerful features but ldap with other services and scripting can be better [11:42] Zhane: ok, here is my suggestion ... [11:42] that's what I was looking for... ;) [11:42] ( it depends how many things se knows ) [11:42] Zhane: first try booting to the live CD and running fsck on the partition to make sure that there weren't any errors when you removed the files. [11:42] we use an 'nix based appliance called Infoblox at work... it's doing our DNS and DHCP right now [11:43] im using wubi.. will fsck work? [11:43] how can i install flying windows ccsm plugin? [11:43] Zhane: then if you still haven't recovered the space I would go hunting to see if you can find the other place where the file is linked in your file system... [11:43] pajamian, for that he need not boot into livecd he can use sudo shutdown -F -r [11:43] that way we could offload those services from the DC [11:43] when doing a "ls -l" command, I know that the "d" as the first character in the permission list refers to directory, but what does "l" mean? [11:43] Aquahallic yes [11:43] Aquahallic I did same thing for small offices [11:43] Zhane: ugh wubi, that changes everything, sorry, I can't help you with wubi, maybe someone else can. [11:43] nvm then... [11:44] OK, I need some help. I am running Xubuntu, and I need to know how to get permission to copy files from my laptops interal had to my external hd? I wont let me paste to the external hd can anyone help? PS First time I have used Xubuntu. Thx! [11:44] reinstall might be easier =_= [11:44] anyone want to meet turk boy ?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [11:57] Yes [11:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/41507/ [11:57] This happens no matter what Java version it seems [11:57] I searched, and sucessfully installed Blackwater Java 1.4 [11:57] But this still happens. [11:58] does anyone know how to get my sound and wireless working on lenovo y410 ... [11:58] can someone help. [11:58] ? [11:58] how do I check disk uuid's? [11:58] I can only use pogo games with java 1.5 [11:58] !wifi| sandhya [11:58] sandhya: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [11:58] Hello [11:58] chris062689 oops it's maybe JNI [11:58] and for sound ? [11:58] Any tips for dual-booting with Vista Ultimate SP1? [11:59] Does anyone used Ekiga + v4l2 and had a problem with not supported color format? [11:59] sandhya, which sound card? [11:59] krisbae: I don't know what that is, :( [11:59] chris062689 hmm alice serivce source codes. you can compile yours with jdk 1.6 [11:59] Help! [11:59] Perhaps.. but do you think it would be backwords compatable? [11:59] Can someone help me? :/ I haven't been able to use 8.04 since it came out, because after 3 - 5 hours of uptime, gnome just completely crashes. Terminals are just white blocks with window decorations, and after that happens nothing works. [11:59] Rakeer, blkid [11:59] Probably not. [12:00] arvind_khadri, Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 Memory Controller Hub (rev 03) [12:00] chris062689 JNI do not have compatiabllity [12:00] *sighs* ok. [12:00] I guess I can just use another machine in the house. [12:00] It has XP on it. [12:00] Thanks for your time guys. [12:00] sandhya, have you got alsa setup? [12:00] Does anyone used Ekiga + v4l2 and had a problem with not supported color format? [12:00] chris062689 np [12:00] chris062689 enjoy it =) [12:01] not yet [12:01] Exlax: how much RAM does your computer have? [12:01] sandhya, then set that up... :) [12:01] 4GB. [12:01] Ungh, now I have to figure out how to undo what I just did (slaughtered my system trying to install Java lol) [12:01] I'm on 32bit. I was curious if 64bit would make a difference. [12:01] how ? [12:01] Exlax: damn, that's a lot, it might do, 32 bit will only recognize 3.5 gig unless you use the server kernel ... [12:02] !alsa | sandhya [12:02] sandhya: 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 [12:02] Exlax: 32 to 64bit does make a slightly significance. [12:02] Exlax: anyways, does the HDD seem to be running constantly when it happens? [12:02] on tnx arvind_khadri [12:02] Exlax: If you have to choose, go with 64bit to future proof yourself, besides most packages are also built for 64bit operating systems now [12:02] Help! [12:02] I know chris. [12:02] sandhya, welcome [12:02] pajamian: I haven't checked, but what will happen is i'll go to open a termianl and it'll just be a white square with a window decoration. [12:03] After that, some applications will show up as black squares with window decorations, firefox won't start at all, it won't log me out unless i ctrl+alt+backspace [12:03] Hello... need some help... anyone know anything about video tuner cards? [12:03] Exlax: that sounds like RAM running out. That hsouldn't happen with 4gig, but maybe you have a program that is leakign a lot of memory. [12:03] and if i ctrl+alt+backspace and log back in, it just hangs. [12:03] Exlax: and if you reboot it takes another 3-4 hours before it happens again, right? [12:04] pajamian: I noticed conky only shows ram increases; not decreases. after a few hours of uptime my memory meter will be full in conky, but in the system monitor its fine. [12:04] pajamian: correct. [12:04] LOL [12:04] pajamian: sometimes, it takes a lot longer. it went 12 hours yesterday. [12:04] how can download build-essential for offline installation on another OS? [12:04] Rakeer, ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid type this for uuid [12:04] Help! [12:04] Exlax: you have a lot of windows or tabs open in FireFox? [12:04] pajamian: No, firefox is rarely open [12:04] problem: mythtv, no sound. MPlayer/kdetv/tvtime... I get sound... but not if I try to capture using mencoder or streamer. [12:05] tghy, what is it [12:05] Does anyone used Ekiga + v4l2 and had a problem with not supported color format? [12:05] ROMFLMPO [12:05] but for some reason i've always felt like firefox was responsible, it always seems to happen right after i close firefox. [12:05] and firefox is the only app that just won't start at all [12:05] this doesn't happen on 7.10, at all. [12:05] FireFox is a known memory hog. [12:05] pajamian, maybe it's the user that is the memory hog [12:06] my card is a bt849a based MM100PCTV... and I'm tearing my hair out trying to get this to work [12:06] Exlax: have you tried disabling compiz? [12:06] hi all. when I connect my usb disk it does not show on the desktop. I have to mount it every time to /media/usb. [12:06] pajamian: yes, same thing happens, that was my first guess [12:06] arvind_khadri, wifi still does'nt work .. [12:06] :-) [12:07] Exlax: hrmmmm, ok, well, I would keep an eye on system monitor and see what else seems to be using a lot of memory and try disabling that. [12:07] -. [12:07] ........ [12:07] pajamian: i have, nothing ever comes close to using the full 2.7 allocated gb [12:07] tghy, which webcam [12:07] Exlax: hrmmmmm, maybe you have some bad RAM, have you tried running memcheck? [12:08] pajamian: I did, 15 hours, 12 passes, 0 errors [12:08] Exlax: heh, ok, well I'm sorry to say, you've already exhausted all my ideas. [12:08] pajamian: thanks for the help though, do you think it would be of any worth to try 64bit? [12:08] Exlax: don't know, it's worth a try if you don't mind the time it takes to install it. [12:09] bazhang: Logitech for Notebooks Pro 2007 [12:09] pajamian: I guess i will, nobody seems to really have a clue whats causing it [12:09] Thanks for the help [12:09] Exlax: yeah, sorry that I couldn't help further. [12:09] s'all good [12:10] how do I install the GIMP [12:10] sudo apt-get install gimp [12:10] But it should already be included if your running Ubuntu GNOME [12:10] or just use synaptic === krisbae is now known as darjeeling [12:11] haha =) [12:11] This is so annoying, how do I copy from my interal drive to my external drive it wont let me do anything. Please help. I dont even know how to use this and I really need these files. Thx [12:12] http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4631648&postcount=24 tghy check this [12:12] what do I do if my GIMP has already lost its kernel support, should I reinstall the source???? [12:12] bazhang: Thx [12:13] Malwir: sudo apt-get install gimp (but is installed by default afaik). Btw is almost impossible that a userspace app lost "kernel support" [12:13] Malwir: whatever that means anyway [12:14] When I am using file manager and I right click on the file on my internal drive and click copy and then go to sda1 in file manager and right click in folder to paste its grayed out, please help [12:14] what errors is gimp giving if you type gimp into a terminal? [12:14] is there anyone who use renderman in ubuntu? [12:14] Malwir, i'd contact the kernel team, or the gimp team, or someone. they should fix that. Losing kernel support is like losing a limb. [12:14] bazhang: Sorry. Thats not enough. I have next: uvc, v4l2, ekiga and working webcam in luvcview. But i want work that webcam in Ekiga and its not going to [12:15] bazhang: Ekiga giving me error with not supported color format [12:15] tghy, did you run the commands in those links and match them up? [12:15] as a few more people've joined, I'll try again... [12:16] Hello... need some help... anyone know anything about video tuner cards? [12:16] problem: mythtv, no sound. MPlayer/kdetv/tvtime... I get sound... but not if I try to capture using mencoder or streamer. [12:16] my card is a bt849a based MM100PCTV... and I'm tearing my hair out trying to get this to work [12:16] What is the function of inetd? [12:17] ok but gimp still has the error [12:17] what error? [12:17] inetd is an added security layer [12:17] rather than hang programs directly off the network, it acts as a buffer === Q_Continuum is now known as Q_Contoxicated [12:18] bazhang: luvcview -d /dev/video1 and i see myself. Ekiga + uvcvideo + v4l2 pt plugin + Logitech webcam = error. [12:18] with added permissions and things (you can block or allow by ip address or protocol with it) [12:18] gtk kernel io, insufficient permissions [12:18] spike1: Thank you for explaining. [12:19] lsmod | grep uvc run that in terminal tghy and paste results to paste.ubuntu.com [12:20] bazhang: http://paste.org.ru/?e2duja [12:20] in the terminal, how do I grep a text file? (a log file) [12:20] ok now the gray gimp window won't respond, but gives the same message [12:20] what do you want to grep for? [12:20] I should grep it? [12:21] no, that was to Sorcererbob [12:21] lsusb | grep Logitech tghy what does that return [12:21] spike1, lets say the file was called maillog.log and I wanted to find "SMTP" [12:21] as in, print all the lines with "SMTP" in them [12:21] grep SMTP /var/log/maillog.log [12:21] oh that easy? awesome. thanks [12:21] various useful switches too [12:21] bazhang: http://paste.org.ru/?iw8jn4 [12:22] yeah, i thoguht it would be "some command | grep SMTP" [12:22] -i (ignore case) -v (invert search... i.e. search for everything that ISN'T SMTP), -r (recurse into directories) [12:22] how do i name a disk? gparted doesn't let you.. [12:22] ok I grep the gimp and now my terminal is not responding at all, gimp is still frozen [12:22] i have a problem i cant install one update [12:22] you can use cat maillog.log | grep SMTP [12:22] but grep can do it by itself [12:23] Malwir, I've heard the only way to reset GIMP configuration is to format your home partition, and do a partial reinstall with the live CD. remount the clean partition in the emergency environment and copy the home folder back over. [12:23] ok, I'll read up on the cat function too. I imagine its useful for other things too because I've seen it referenced. thanks again spike1 [12:23] sudo ls /dev/vid* returns what tghy [12:23] bdunlap sorry, that's rubbish [12:23] how do i name a disk? gparted doesn't let you.. [12:23] you don't need to format your home partition [12:23] bazhang: /dev/video1 and /dev/video0 [12:23] for ANY reason [12:24] bdunlap, ok so how do i format it [12:24] spike, ok sorry. im pretty new to linux. [12:24] bdunlap, no. [12:24] if you want to reset the gimp's settings... [12:24] just delete the .gimp-2.4 directory [12:24] rm -r .gimp-2.4 [12:24] bdunlap, never suggest that here. [12:25] ok I have partition editor, right? [12:25] bazhang, im sorry i was just trying to help. [12:25] Malwir [12:25] forget everything bdunlap said [12:25] do not format your home partition [12:25] don't even think about it [12:25] i have a problem i cant install one update [12:25] what error? [12:26] when I copy a directory I get this error. "cp: failed to preserve ownership for `/media/usb/.mozilla-thunderbird/02gaoob6.default': Operation not permitted" Any idea? [12:26] tghy, then you need to install xawtv [12:26] bazhang: I have it. [12:26] xukun: what's the current ownership on it? [12:26] i dont understand what is a .gimp-2.4 directory, where is it? [12:26] jrib, how can I see that? [12:26] xawtv -c /dev/video0 tghy [12:26] in your home directory, bdunlap [12:26] . files are hidden normally [12:27] they show up with ls -a [12:27] bdunlap: view -> show hidden files in your HOME. It is: ~/.gimp-2.4/ [12:27] they hold configuration data for different programs [12:27] spike1: don't use enter to break up your thoughts as it makes it harder to follow what you are saying [12:27] if i repartitioned like bdunlap said , would it get rid of .gimp24 folder too? [12:27] ok [12:27] hidden. ohhh i was going to say... all i see is Desktop, Documents, Pictures, etc. [12:27] xukun: ls -ld /media/usb/.mozilla-thunderbird/02gaoob6.default [12:27] bazhang: xawtv -c /dev/video1 and i see myself [12:27] why are folders hidden? [12:28] malwir, do NOT format your PARTITION [12:28] yeah if it's hidden, then that means I can't find it, right? [12:28] Format it [12:28] bdunlap: anything that starts with a '.' is hidden. The reason is so they don't clutter your view of what really matters: your data (pictures, docs, etc.). [12:28] malwir, show hidden files shows it. [12:28] Malwir: hidden, really just means, "out of your way" [12:28] jrib, makes sense. but why wouldn't they be in /usr/share or something? [12:28] tghy, did you set v4l2 as plugin in ekiga [12:28] bazhang: because they are your user's settings [12:29] jrib, what? [12:29] bdunlap, maybe i should move the hidden files to /usr/share ??? [12:29] bazhang: Yes. [12:29] bazhang: bah [12:29] heh [12:29] bdunlap: because they are your user's settings [12:29] malwir, that would make sense to me. but i wonder if it could be automaticly done. [12:30] tghy, so your color is just really dark? you said that the cam works now correct? is there an error otherwise [12:30] Malwir, stop fiddlin with things you don't understand, the hidden files are in your home directory because they hold the settings for all YOUR programs [12:30] Malwir: your user doesn't have write permissions there. Trust me, leave things as they are :) [12:31] folks.... does linux have anything that'd be comparable to MS Sharepoint? [12:31] what's sharepoint? [12:31] spike1, but isn't malwir's gimp frozen or broken or something?

But Ekiga wont show myself! And giving me damn error! [12:32] xukun: can you paste the output from the command? [12:32] Sharepoint does orgchart structure and let's you "share" information among co-workers just to name a few [12:32] as a note of caution, the command "rm -r" is very dangerous, please use with caution [12:32] I can no longer burn iso's with groisofs, it gives me " "/dev/dvd=IMAGE1.iso": unexpected errno:No such file or directory" /dev/dvd does not exist anymore either, theres /dev/dvd1 and /dev/dvdrw [12:32] if i delete a folder when the program is running, wouldn't that wreck my hard drive?

[12:33] xukun: that's not the command I gave :/ [12:33] andycan. what does ls -l /dev/dvd1 give? [12:34] spike1: I just tried /dev/dvd1=image.iso and it worked. Though, why would it change from /dev/dvd to /dev/dvd1?

[14:15] reehan what do you mean ? [14:15] can samone help me with gforce 3d acceleration [14:16] arvind_khadri: npe . where can i find that ? [14:16] reehan do you want to launch the system monitor ? [14:16] reehan: system -> administration -> system monitor [14:16] ikonia, hmm you ther ?? ;) [14:16] murlidhar, /etc/resolv.conf [14:16] no omar,if my system hangs how do i use the alt+ctrl+del facility? [14:16] arvind_khadri: is any application that can configure my resolve.conf automatically like in ubuntu (gnome session) [14:17] murlidhar, i dont know of it if any...i hand edit it...but never had the need of it...and is it a BSNL broadband? [14:17] reehan there is no alt+ctrl+del shortcut natively in ubuntu, but i think you can add one [14:17] arvind_khadri: using ubuntu base installation in openbox session. and have installed lxnm [14:17] murlidhar, no [14:18] arvind_khadri: yes it is bsnl [14:18] murlidhar, hmm... then things should just work...ethernet or USB? [14:18] arvind_khadri: ethernet [14:18] anyone for gutenprint? [14:19] murlidhar, then try the resolv.conf thing [14:19] k [14:19] I need a little bit of advice, inexperienced with linux. I started with 7.10 gnome, update it to 8.04 and now wanting to change to kde4.1 But I've installed various apps, configs etc basically set up numerous things. My question, is it better to just restart again with a new install or is it possible (and wise?) to keep updating my ubuntu.... also if I do keep the install as is, how do I clean up configs of old installs/window [14:19] managers/versions.. [14:19] i know that this is old topic but with avant and compiz desktop has never seen this sexy. [14:19] arvind_khadri: in resolve.conf only name servers are given [14:20] murlidhar, ya what are they? [14:20] what is softirq [14:20] and IRQ [14:20] Artful: you don't upgrade to kde. You can install it side-by-side and choose the desktop environment you want at the login screen [14:20] and how do i edit startup programs manually [14:20] !kde > Artful [14:20] Artful, please see my private message [14:20] arvind_khadri: 61.1.96.69 [14:20] Jakob_the_liar, IRQ is interrupt request [14:20] arvind_khadri: those are dns servers i guess [14:21] what does that mean arvind_khadri ? [14:21] i have like 10 in my top list [14:21] nameserver 208.67.222.222 [14:21] nameserver 208.67.220.220 [14:21] * arvind_khadri says sorry to channel [14:21] murlidhar, ya they are DNS [14:21] jrib, so no need to keep restarting over each time a new release of u/kubuntu comes out? [14:22] Artful: no. You can upgrade every 6 months [14:22] http://wklej.org/id/1712/ [14:22] my xorg.conf pls help [14:22] but does that mean reformatting etc.. or is it totally safe [14:23] Artful: no, no formatting. Though you should always have backups just in case of course. You said you went from 7.10 to 8.04. Did you not upgrade then? [14:24] I did, but some packages broke [14:24] /quit [14:25] I'm wondering if i could use compiz with the open nvidia drivers, is this possible? [14:26] I assume linux apps keep all configs in /home account yes? so it would be possible to copy that folder to usb stick and migrate to another distro? [14:26] does anyone know the compiz cube shortcut? [14:26] hi, i'm having trouble with installing the yelp-dbgsym packages [14:26] Artful: yes [14:27] hi [14:27] is IRQ an importance process [14:27] Is there a way of marking a package so that it does not update? I want to retain an older version of an application (Audacity 1.2.6) (which works just fine) rather than continually be prompted to up-date/grade to (Audacity 1.3.4)(which doesn't) [14:27] i never use to have it running and now i have like 15 in ps -e list [14:27] Jakob_the_liar, no IRQ it's not a process [14:27] !pinning > dauddaud [14:27] dauddaud, please see my private message [14:28] how do i shut it off omar [14:28] killall -9 icq [14:28] hello, i don't want logs to be rotated so i commented everything out in /etc/cron.daily/logrotate but dmesg and scrollkeeper logs are still rotated.

[16:08] Hello everyone [16:08] they still dont work. and my homepage isnt ubuntu anymore either, its just a blank white page [16:08] !shockwave | tavi [16:08] tavi: Shockwave is currently only available for Windows. To run it under !Wine, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave [16:09] tavi: There is no shockwave for Linux [16:09] Hi ppl [16:09] scifiguy951, does the actual web browsing work?

[16:11] error is "usb 3-1 new load speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address [16:11] lostogre thanks. that's why i'm here actually. i can't find any website attached to it. usually it says the url in synaptec [16:11] how do i use both disk and have ubuntu guide me in automatic partition creation [16:11] Hi all! [16:11] now what's the shockwave homepage? [16:11] hi all [16:12] Has anyone used Plan 9, if so how does it compare to Ubuntu? [16:12] Hey would anyone be willing to help a newbie access a wireless network? [16:12] ;jk;klj [16:12] scifiguy951, if this was windows i would be suggesting a chkdsk at this point. [16:12] Can anyone tell me where to find information on error's from module "visor" [16:12] where do i get the ooobasis3.0-core package from ? [16:12] can someone in the room, tell me the proper way to kick of that ubuntu disk check at boot? [16:12] tavi: http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/ [16:12] I like the installation wizard except for disk partitioning red hat seems to be more intuitive in that area [16:12] Sorry, your platform is not supported. [16:12] error is "usb 3-1 new load speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address" error comes while booting and it does not go forward.. it stops here [16:12] bofh80: why do you want to? [16:13] tavi: install firefox or iexplorer to wine and browse then [16:13] hololight, it appears scifiguy951 has some odscure corruption with firefox. if was windows, a chkdsk would fix it. [16:13] A friend of mine is running ubuntu and they are using a Pentium 3 motherboard, and wishes to upgrade to an AMD socket AM2 motherboard.. is she going to be able to just plug her hard drive to the motherboard and have her ubuntu working ??? or is a reinstall required? [16:13] how i do that? [16:13] Does anyone know anything about Plan 9(an Open Source OS by Bell labs) [16:13] tavi: and don't forget opera [16:13] neah [16:13] only explorer [16:13] and mozilla [16:14] tavi: ok. i'll look windows firefox binaries for firefox [16:14] hi, is there a wav, mp3 . . . to midi converter for Linux ? I know only that timidity converts from midi to wav, mp3 . . . . formats :( [16:14] so for installing explorer [16:14] Nextwave: Should be able to just plug it in an have it work. [16:14] scifiguy951, have you got more than user on your machine, maybe you could log in as another user and try it ? i want you to run fsck check, but i prefer ubuntu to do it on boot [16:14] i do not know linux [16:14] i do not know windows even.... [16:14] hololight, do you know how? you know it schedules one to run every 30 shutdowns or something [16:14] how do i make it do it on boot? [16:14] lostogre: will ubuntu see her new hardware and continue as normal? [16:14] tavi: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html [16:14] i only have one user [16:14] bofh80: guess I walked right in the middle... [16:15] repairubuntu: does the boot freeze or does it "re-boot" and loop? [16:15] kantor, you should be able to use Audacity via Add/Remove or Synaptic [16:15] Entropy51423: sure, but this isn't really a plan 9 channel... [16:15] where';s the best audio t/shooting guide [16:15] Nextwave: should... [16:15] i already have mozzila [16:15] what do i do to fix it? [16:15] now i surf whit mozzila [16:15] thanks [16:15] I don't think theres such thing as a wav to midi converter [16:15] lostogre: i'm tempted to just install ubuntu on a system here and then move it to my other power system and see if all goes well :) lol [16:15] what is the gnome/gtk client for opensync? [16:16] bofh80: not sure, could just use the install/live cd to do it, filesystem must be unmounted [16:16] hi everyone, have troubles to install flash player on firefox. I download the .tar.gz, and i did : tar xzf flash.tar.gz && cd flash && ./configure && make && sudo make install. it don't want ./configure (does not exist ...) [16:16] !flash | supermoi1 [16:16] supermoi1: 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 [16:16] supermoi1: unless you have a reason, install from synaptic [16:16] supermoi1: don't install using the tar.gz [16:16] acrousey: there exists a sophos antivirus for linux/ubuntu, I don't know about the costs, see http://www.sophos.com/support/knowledgebase/topics//1009/1016 [16:16] Nextwave: you can, but I don't think it will be a problem. Drivers are loaded dynamically. Not from a list of expectations like those other OSs. [16:17] Nextwave: like lost said, it 'should' notice the new hardware without any problems [16:18] lostogre: thanks you very much! her old system was using PC133 SDRAM and she was going to buy 2 x 512mB sticks... and then when she saw the cost of the sticks, I told her I can get her a MB,CPU, and DDR2 ram for the same price LOL.. was a no brainer [16:18] i use debian on command lines, and aptitude [16:18] is for that [16:18] Nextwave: but if you hagve manually set up any hardware you will likely have to remove those [16:19] hololight: I'm a Mandriva user, and I havent even tried this scenario with Mandriva.. so I'm going out on a lim here telling her to get a new system.. if she needs to reinstall for any reason.. she might be upset [16:20] guntbert: i check your site. Why not install gnash [16:20] bofh80: did you want to force a fsck on the boot? then "sudo touch /forcefsck" [16:20] supermoi1: ?? [16:20] hi, can anybody tell me how to install softwares in ubuntu, using hardy heron btw [16:21] guntbert: the link you gave me : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash [16:21] !apt-get\ [16:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-get\ [16:21] !apt-get [16:21] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [16:21] Anju: Go to Applications->Add/Remove [16:21] supermoi1: I didn't give any link to you [16:21] guntbert: oh ! ? [16:21] Anju > !apt-get [16:21] Hey === Dragon_ is now known as Dragon [16:22] Anju: or in gui.... 'synaptic' or 'add/remove software' [16:22] sorry ! it was ubottu ! [16:22] thanks ubottu and gutbert [16:22] Hey [16:22] Fyn [16:23] what is the exact .exe counterpart for linux? [16:23] supermoi1: ubottu is a bot :-) [16:23] sorry, im such a noob [16:23] anju: for ubuntu its .deb [16:23] What Anju? [16:23] i have a problem i cant install one update can anybody help me ? [16:23] Anju: there is none [16:23] anju: that is, for an install file [16:23] anju: for an 'exe' it doen'st need an extension [16:23] linux doesn't use executeables [16:24] heh [16:24] well, it does, but they aren't called such [16:24] they are called konsole commands :d [16:24] :D * [16:24] a, but how do i know if a file in linux is a program? [16:24] :D [16:24] Anju: there is no need for a special extension. an executable file can be called anything [16:24] anju: in the console.... 'ls -l' [16:24] type its name into konsole [16:25] like right now, type "kate" into console [16:25] Anju: use 'file FILENAME' (replace FILENAME with name of file ;) ) [16:25] if i enable updates hardy-backports and then find that i am having problems, can i easily disable hardy backports and bring my packages back down to older versions that i had before enabling hardy-backports? [16:25] anju: that pulls up a 'long' directory listing. if the file name has an 'x' associated with it, it is 'executable' [16:25] lol [16:26] Anju, you should use either ADD/REMOVE, Synaptic, online tutorials if you want to user tar.gz, or use .deb files [16:26] just use apt-get [16:26] anju: you can check the file and see if there is a "x" which indicated the file is meant to be executed - this can include scripts and non-binary executables. the "file" command will give you detailed information if you need that. it depends on what you are after [16:26] its easyer than all of those options [16:27] hi , i want to install ubuntu on flash [16:27] lol?

[16:29] hololight: dr-know: There something on the Ubuntu help wiki for USB stuff... === bu is now known as flyer [16:30] I'd say that: /dev/sda5 /media/disk ntfs-3g rw,auto,exec,utf8 0 0 in fstabs would automount my ntfs partition, anything wrong here? [16:30] can anyone tell me how to list my cpu bitmasks in terminal [16:30] omar: omar [16:32] hi I have repartitioned my hard disk and now my swap stop working, how can I fix that?

[16:32] shiman: using nvidia driver? [16:32] yes..

[16:33] i see [16:33] hold on [16:33] scifiguy951, sorry my connection went. have you tried logging in as a different user to see if same problem? [16:33] [CTCP] Received Version request from manare. [16:33] shiman: try nvidia-xconfigure from a console [16:33] Is Avast 2008 or 2009 compatible with ubuntu [16:34] shiman: I have that prob quite a bit.... be forewarned.... if you have made any manual changes you will lose them.... (in a backup) [16:34] how do i fsck check on boot? [16:34] opps: nvidia-xconfig [16:36] hololight: do it under recovery mode? [16:36] scifiguy951: from before..;.. "sudo touch /forcefsck" [16:36] hololight: cuz now im on recovery mode [16:36] anyone, how do i list my cores id (bitmasks) [16:36] shiman: doesn't matter.... but either way you need to reboot [16:36] hololight: i cant get into normal mode [16:36] hololight: ok thanks. hold on [16:36] hololight, oh cool. then reboot? i couldn't find that information anywhere [16:37] i did it and nothing happened [16:37] dabofh: believe so [16:37] scifiguy951, you restarted? [16:37] no [16:37] scifiguy951, nothing will happen when you type in that command, no output means good. now restart and hopefully you see disk check during boot, don't skip it [16:38] scifi: that just tells it to do a check on reboot.... fsck cannot do a check on a mounted filesystem [16:39] can't they just restart the xserver if there's an issue with the graphics? Ctrl+Alt+Backspace. Warning: Do not just randomly do that... if nothing is wrong there's no point in closing all your applications. [16:39] hololight: can u paste it back? [16:39] YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! :) my nipples are hard now (sorry something great just happened) [16:39] had to share [16:39] i think i want to remove the current driver and start using envyng [16:39] shiman: your changes? [16:40] histo, i've added %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL in my sudoers file, but sudo still says that my user which is in the admin group, doesn't have access to sudo? how do I fix this? [16:40] shiman envyng uses the same driver if memory serves.... just does the install work and configure for you [16:40] flyer: did you try cat /proc/cpuinfo ? is that the core id you are after there? [16:40] Well guys, shit. I think i may need to go back to Windows XP for another two years. [16:40] :( [16:40] hololight: sudo /etc/ .../?dm restart [16:41] hololight: once i get there.. what should i do next? [16:41] ushimitsudoki, thanks. that's it [16:41] shiman: did you run nvidia-xconfig? [16:41] anyone? :) [16:42] to disable compiz the command in run application is metacity --replace ......how do i enable it again?? [16:42] another question, does linux uitilize all the available hardware? [16:42] This is a problem that's happening constantly. Ubuntu will run great for a few hours and then firefox won't open. Then I won't be able to use the gnome-panel. I don't know how to recover from this. Restarting xorg doesn't help, and usually i have to go into tty and reboot [16:42] i mean, like, my video card has SLI? [16:42] Nothing is eating up a lot of CPU, it's something that's gone haywire. What cna i do? [16:42] hello [16:43] Does anyone know if Avast 2008 or 2009 is compatible [16:43] aj10: It's better to turn it on and off by the System>Preferences>Appearance area [16:43] qrush: make note of the processes on your system with"top" and "ps" when it happens, also take a look in /var/log/messages [16:44] RawkFish: Why would you need that? There's only a few viruses for Linux, and when there are, they're patched so quickly it's scary. [16:44] ifireball: what am i supposed to be looking for? [16:44] ifireball: or logging myself? I don't see anything that's eating up a lot of cpu or ram [16:44] qrush: look for i/o errors or any other hardware related problems [16:44] sorry for my questions, im just starting to embrace all the open source community has to offer [16:44] :D [16:44] jimmio: but there is no option for enabling and disabling compiz in aprticular in appearance? [16:45] aj10: Visual Effects tab. [16:45] qrush: well, noticing what eats most cpu/ram may give a hint also, check if FF is still running when its window is closed [16:46] hello.One of my hdd's was screwed up by a windows virus. Is there any way to low level format it with linux rather than running a Dos app? cheers [16:46] ifireball: I'm not really huge linux/unix guru...this stuff in /var/log/messages is greek to me [16:46] ifireball: and yes, it is still running [16:46] hello, I have a *hopefully* quick question. Does anybody know how to change the gnome main menu button. I tried to replace the normal one but its still the ubuntu logo. Any ideas how to change it properly? [16:46] ifireball: 4 copies now that I've tried to start [16:46] RawkFish: avast has a .deb package for their Linux Home Edition, so I would guess that would work if you feel the need [16:46] qrush: try to see if killing it "solves" the problem [16:47] ifireball: Other strange things happen too. For instance now I can't right click on my terminal window [16:47] is viruses a real threat in linux too ? [16:47] omar: no [16:47] clamav also handles windows viruses as well i believe [16:47] ifireball: also if i go to the logout/shutdown button that will most like freeze gnome-panel [16:47] so why thoses AVs ? [16:47] Then again omar, if you are dual booting any virus' that are found will not be active [16:47] hi,sorsis and lostogre , Are you stil at here ? I get it! use fbdev argument,like that: mplayer -vo fbdev /my/file/abc.rmvboravi [16:47] because there are linux viruses.... also linux can be a file share for windows machines [16:47] qrush: looks like something is grabbing the mouse/keyboard [16:48] but linux viruses are rare [16:48] omar: one good reason is if you are handling mail and you want to scan for users [16:48] jimmio: my prob is...that the videos flicker...even if i change the effects to 'no effects' in appearance... last time someone had told me to use metacity --replace command... but now i have forgotten know how to enable compiz again ....there was some command compiz -- ???? ....i dont remember it [16:48] qrush: might be the dead FF [16:48] ifireball: they're all dead now [16:48] so those AV are killing windows viruses too ? [16:48] AaronChen: so everything is fine now? [16:48] ifireball: If i try to start firefox up again it won't work. this is usually when i reboot. [16:48] omar: as i recall clamav will handle windows viruses [16:48] If the drive is mounted and the AV scans them. Then yeah [16:48] ifireball: I shouldn't have to do that though, and that's why I'm here. :) [16:49] hololight, thx :-) [16:49] aj10: have you tried the obvious compiz --start or compiz --replace? [16:49] have a good night gayes,see you next time all! bye bye [16:49] qrush: are you sure all the FF instances and related processes (such as firefox-bin) are dead? [16:49] qrush@q-laptop ~> ps aux | grep firefox [16:49] qrush 13300 0.0 0.0 3004 768 pts/1 S+ 11:49 0:00 grep firefox [16:49] thats all i get [16:51] aj10: that's really strange, videos, audio, everything.... works perfect for me with Compiz on.... even Second Life, a 3D OpenGL game.

[19:25] I have problem [19:25] crackbadger: or gconf-editor and then under apps->mettacity and your see check for option [19:25] cdm10: lose the periods, but I answered you very well, it is clear from the first section on that page what you have to do, we are not gonna spoonfeed you everything [19:26] Shigu: and if you go to another site than youtube, like www.break.com firefox will offer to install flash [19:26] ShackJack: found gconf-editor thanks [19:26] I have two files: flashplayer-installer and libflashplayer.so [19:26] crackbadger: apps-metacity-general ;) [19:26] Im having major bugg problems with eclipse(python dev plugin) and java [19:26] I have hardy heron, but this article is written for feisty and prior. Does it also apply to Hardy? [19:26] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Radeon_9200/9250_(RV280)_and_DVI [19:26] Frank23: Thank you, i try ! [19:27] ShackJack: cant find metacity in there though [19:27] possibly stoopid question: can i stop the gnome terminal cursor blinking? [19:27] crackbadger: under aps [19:27] i know ubuntu usually uses a CD install [19:27] ksbalaji: windows can read/write ext3 with the ext2fs driver [19:27] ShackJack: Oh yea I got it [19:27] but i could have sworn i managed to find a DVD image the last time i installed [19:27] does anyone know where to find that? [19:28] i would rather install everything in one go [19:28] frank23, thanks for ext2fs info. And is ext3 difficult to be compressed and backed up? [19:28] ejer: I know very well what a regular expression is and how to use it. A period represents any character, and an asterisk represents the previous character repeating any number of times... hence, ".*" will match anything. You're describing wildcards, which I actually tried using. [19:28] ksbalaji: ext3 isn't so hard to back up in my opinion. If that's what you want to do, I recommend partimage. There is a utility that allows Windows to read ext2/3 filesystems too. [19:28] Im having major bugg problems with eclipse(python dev plugin) and java. please helpppp [19:29] ShackJack: I enabled composting manager do I just drag the Screenlet folder into the Themes manager? [19:29] cdm10: if you know, then go look at your command and see why it would not match what you want [19:29] java is making my eclipse crash... whats wrong? [19:29] crackbadger: No they are spearate, but I assume they required compositing... You should be able to install screenlets via Add/Remove programs, no? [19:29] Might anyone have any experience getting a Radeon 9200's DVI port working correctly with Hardy? [19:29] period match any character, is there a random char before and after folder name, but before a match all blob which is the star? [19:30] Hi, i have a qustion about this, damn firefox 3! Is there another browser, this is better than this one in ubuntun......? [19:30] uplink most probably you use gcj [19:30] Noob question. have a file I downloaded, and need to figure out how to get it to run.. the extension is a .run [19:30] ejer: I've figured out the problem, it wasn't in quotes, and zsh was interpreting the asterisks as wildcards for itself, rather than passing them to tar. [19:30] Studiosus, gcj? [19:30] ksbalaji: http://www.fs-driver.org/download.html here for windows driver. the file system shouldn't affect the ability to compress and backup the files on it. not sure about creating a backup image of the drive [19:30] ShackJack: ill give that a shot [19:30] omega_: Why, what's wrong with your Firefox? [19:30] uplink gcj is GNU java compiler [19:30] omega_: what is prob, firefox is the best ;) [19:30] omega_, the problem is not with firefox but with flash... and yes there are plenty of alternatives. konqueror, epiphany, opera list goes on [19:31] ejer: thanks for pushing me in the right direction, though. [19:31] uplink install sun jdk and switch to it via update-java-alternatives [19:31] crackbadger: sudo aptitude install screenlets ;) Or you can get very latest from http://www.getdeb.net/app/Screenlets but I stick with the repos when I can :) [19:31] Studiosus, i doubt it... when i killall java eclipse responds again but gives me an error and closes [19:31] Epiphany is best :) [19:31] the process kills herself the hole time, if you understand :-) My IE7 under Windows is there better than the fox...... [19:31] borys === C5478548 is now known as chalcedony [19:32] this is offtopic, but anyone know of a good server where there is just a lot of general chit chat? [19:32] !aptitude [19:32] aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [19:32] AeronTS: maybe #ubuntu-offtopic :P [19:32] bobertdos, does partimage allow windows to read ext3? Have I got it right? [19:32] uplink, first of all check what java is stands for on your system: type java -version and tell output [19:32] hmmm.... Opera, yes i know this but it is a long time ago, that i had used. I think it was for the firfox area [19:32] omega_: I know a fix for that if it's Flash 10 you're using. [19:33] i guess nobody noticed that question [19:33] where do i go to get an install DVD for ubuntu? [19:33] @ bodertdos: do you have a link? [19:33] cześć [19:33] Studiosus, i cant copy paste the input for some reason [19:33] jest ktoś z polski [19:33] ShackJack: would have *never* thought of that, i mean who in the Ubuntu world would want to chat? Wait a sec, that would be slackware :P [19:33] frank23, thanks for the link. I shall try. [19:34] LuYu: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/8.04.1/release/ [19:34] something is wrong with my terminal :( wont let me right click it [19:34] I have hardy, but this article about getting DVI working on a radeon 9200 is written for Feisty and prior. Does it apply to hardy? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Radeon_9200/9250_(RV280)_and_DVI [19:34] omega_: Are you using 10? If so, this kind of explains it, but you have to manually create the file it talks about -- http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/2008/08/windowless_mode_fix.html [19:35] aha [19:35] thank you [19:35] how can I list all the .SO files currently loaded into a process?

[19:38] frank23, I have low budget. Actually no budget [19:39] uplink i think so, though i prefer apt-get (don't know aptitude :)) [19:39] Uplink, that's fine [19:39] ty [19:40] Daisuke_Ido: I tried "lsof | grep `pidof X`" but that only prints 4 files in /proc and I know X has loaded many .so files? [19:40] Lemont: you can get a new 5200 for 25$ maybe even less used [19:40] cheaper [19:40] Hey all, small question for you... when I put my SD card in my card reader, nothing happens. When I keep the SD card in and reboot, then it works... any help? [19:41] frank23, the link you gave, allows window to deal with ext2 type file system. What about ext3 please? [19:41] ksbalaji: ext3 can be mounted as if it was ext2. It will work [19:41] 5200 was a good card 5 years ago .. [19:42] velvithammer: well from a ati 9200.... [19:42] thanks frank23 [19:42] bye [19:42] Studiosus, thats it mate?

When I select manual partitioning, it only offers an option to create a new partition table in /dev/sda. Here's my fdisk: http://dpaste.com/74787/. Any ideas? [20:24] Ictinike: did you put that command into google directly? there are a LOT of comments etc [20:25] I am in the middle or learning how to use the bind DNS and I have 2 questions... 1. How does Bind resolve names like google.com when I have not given it any configuration info to do that resolution? 2. I can get bind to resolve a name like computer2.localdomain, is there a way I can just get it to resolve the name "computer2"? [20:25] if i have a laptop with VGA-out (intel integrated graphics card) is it possible to set up a multi-display - like have a separate desktop on each monitor??? [20:25] zzdds: No the VGA is a dump of your lappy screen...

If run it with sudo or gksu or as root it is all grey as you say. [20:29] Hi, whats channel wine? [20:29] !wine [20:29] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux.

Which partition needs to be the bootable one? My exsiting ubuntu, vista, or the dell media center thing? [20:31] anyone here know a tuto that shows how to install a S.O linux un a independent Hard Disk [20:31] ----> try to use the GParted live CD ... it may help fixing that partition table [20:31] kaie: doing it on the machine, rather than over ssh might also be the problem, I can't get it to work over ssh on my own machine [20:32] ugh. i took my laptop apart and put it back together and now my wifi won't work... >:| the card is detected fine, but it does not see any AP's [20:32] m_emam: Do you know anything about bootflags? [20:33] i mustve messed something up [20:33] rwaite, you sure you didn't disconnect the little aerials attached to the wifi card? [20:33] ---> Bootflags won't make diffirence [20:33] bofh80: the antennas? i did, but i put them back. now it isnt working. doesnt make much sense [20:34] unless i shorted the card out, but then i dont think it would be detected [20:34] ---> if your HD is working, it will be readed [20:34] rwaite, where you sure to check they pushed on correctly(they are little buggers), and in the same order you took them off? [20:34] what will the gparted livecd do? My hd works fine. I currently use gutsy and want to do a clean hardy install [20:35] they are labelled, so i think? and i pushed them on till they clicked... unless that's not good enough? [20:35] I saw a forum thread which said 'use testdisk', but no additional instructions [20:35] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=780113 [20:35] ---> the problem is that your partition table is corrupted ....

[20:37] Frozenball: CTRL-Z?

I say "sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -m owner --cmd-owner wget -j DROP" and it tells me "iptables: Invalid argument". I googled around and some websites said that it was because of a mismatch between iptables and the kernel. I understand that, but I need some idea of how to proceed. [21:26] AzizLight: what are you tryning o mount? [21:26] omar: i think its everything [21:26] pedro, lol wait [21:27] omar: gtk theme it says [21:27] croSmiley, I'm not sure xprop lists the window position and geometry [21:27] pedro, choose art, other themes, gtk themes [21:27] unop: ok, and what does? :) [21:27] croSmiley: I'm trying see the content of an MP3 CD, but when I ls /media/cdrom* all the folder are empty [21:28] hi [21:28] pedro, i think it'll be downloaded [21:28] Wouldn't an "mp3 cd" just be a normal data disc, are you sure the session was recorded correctly? [21:28] omar: but its like downloading 224 themes right now, not that i asked it to do it anyway [21:28] AzizLight: did you try mount /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom?

[21:29] yes [21:29] I found couple of posts regarding a SATA disks performance in Ubuntu... some say it is a kernel related problem, some that it is a implementation of the module... [21:29] hi, is it possible to change gnome open dialog folder ordering? (i want hidden folders go after regular) [21:30] AzizLight: or try cat /etc/fstab | grep cdrom and see what should you mount... [21:30] omar: yes [21:30] have anyone came across any solution regarding SATA performance? [21:30] pedro, then you will hopefully find it [21:31] pedro, anyway you will get a lot of other themes so you won't waste time downloading them next time :-) [21:31] omar: i cant preview any themes, it says they got errors [21:32] the problem is... when you try copy a big amount of data from/to SATA disk in Ubuntu 8.04 the system literally dies... for example about 8GB took me over 30 mins to transfer between partitions... :( [21:32] pedro, they finished downloading ?

I lost my pics and need to get them back and I can see the thumbs in fspot. [22:02] !pm | Pelias [22:02] Pelias, please see my private message [22:03] _Doonz: it is probably b/c you do not have your pw set for samba's pw [22:03] can let me know how to compile source code for a driver? [22:03] <_Doonz> oh [22:03] !usage | Pelias [22:03] Pelias: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [22:03] max__ most probably you one level higher than needed - chdir to trunk, then type 'svn status' again [22:03] <_Doonz> Fajolou how do i set that? [22:03] steveire, uhm, i *suppose* you'd have to click on Write in the first screen, to let testdisk use the partition table it reconstructed itself... however i must say i wouldn't be entirely comfortable doing that on my own system. there is no doubt your partition table is messed up, but at least your disk is readable now [22:04] _Doonz: one sec.

[22:05] <_Doonz> i forgot about that part [22:05] ya np :) [22:05] chao1: what is the extension of the thumbnails [22:05] max__ in order to use svn you need to import your files to svn first. [22:06] Studiosus: i understand source code and i have a general knowledge in programming, im just new to linux and would just like to know roughly how its done, a command in terminal or what? [22:06] /a irc.freenode.net [22:06] FAJALOU: I assume its jpg but i only see it in fspot program [22:06] Bleh [22:06] PyroHaxOr: The usual compiler used for C++ in linux is usually gcc or g++ [22:07] Ahhh, thank you Studiosus [22:07] You will be waiting a very long time. [22:07] biggulp32oz: ill give it a try, cheers [22:07] PyroHax0r, the typical approach to building a device driver from source is to first download the kernel source [22:07] hello, ive an ati radeon hd 3670 and ive problems when i use xgl [22:07] Hello room. I'm looking for help with a battery monitor problem. [22:07] PyroHax0r, then build the driver along with the whole kernel [22:07] How can i restore default fonts for applications like Firefox ? [22:07] How can I upgrade to linux kernel 2.6.27 ?? [22:07] chao1: PM? [22:08] PyroHax0r, google linux kernel howto === energY is now known as Clubber [22:08] PyroHax0r start from here for example: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/build-linux-kernel-module-against-installed-kernel-source-tree.html [22:08] they should release the ps3 graphic driver for linux [22:08] do it a few times until it works then read "understndgin the linux kernl form oriley" and then look at the driver [22:08] LjL: Yeah, I would, but I think there's a missing linux partition in that suggested output. There should be one for my root partition, and one for home. I see one linux partition and one swap partition. [22:08] perillux, checkout linux kernels on synaptics [22:08] thearthur: ahh, sounds a bit advanced for my knowledge with linux, i have a mate that knows a lot more about linux ill get him to give me a hand, in the meantime ill google a bit, thanks for all the help and advice guys [22:09] For all of you out there that are christians you should go to http://www.ubuntuce.com/. They finally have a new release. [22:09] mano: I did, but I think there was only 2.6.24 stuff [22:09] PyroHax0r, building the kernel is a fun project in its self :) [22:09] hi everyone [22:09] <_Doonz> Fajolou how do i make it so i can create delete rename files on that share? according to the samba gui config tool it says that the share is read/write [22:09] perillux, 8.10 comes with that kernel so i guess its not available for hardy yet... [22:09] !fixgrub [22:09] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [22:10] how can i make totem use opengl?

[22:11] help... [22:11] mano: I was asked by the ubuntu kernel team to test 2.6.27 they said "If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test. [22:11] PiTiBruno: Hi, I need help, but nobody answers me, so, I can help you [22:11] Here's my question : I'm trying to get familiar with Linux by using Knoppix under VirtualPC [22:12] Hello room. I'm looking for help with a battery monitor problem. Anyone? [22:12] PyroHax0r some intro into kernel modules devel is here http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/node/1238/pdf [22:12] perillux, you have all sources configured? [22:12] PiTiBruno: I don't know Knoppix... [22:12] mano: yes [22:12] if I just lanch Knoppix the mouse is stuck but if I enter knoppix i8042.noloop psmouse.proto=imps at the boot it works [22:12] perillux, let me see if i found it [22:13] my question is : which boot file should I modify so that the command "knoppix i8042.noloop psmouse.proto=imps" is executed automatically at boot ? [22:13] PiTiBruno: this is the support channel for ubuntu, not for knoppix [22:13] is there a hardy image for install of the usbstick? [22:13] maybe it's available somewhere other than synaptic [22:13] sorry I was misleaded, maybe my question is also equivalent in ubuntu ? [22:14] mano: maybe it's available somewhere other than synaptic [22:14] PiTiBruno: With openSUSE I know how to help you but with an other os I don't know, try to "discover" /boot folder [22:14] !usb | ezguy [22:14] ezguy: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [22:14] perillux, check updates not published yet... im using -19 kernel and when i check that there was other kernels updates [22:15] I have opened the iso of knoppix (using windows, please don't be mad at me) and I have a /boot directory [22:15] mano: what do you mean "check updates not published yet"? in synaptic? [22:15] in there a folder is called "isolinux" [22:15] <_Doonz> !samba [22:15] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [22:16] perillux, in sources... last kernel available is 2.6.24-21 [22:16] PiTiBruno: don't horry ive window too, i found what you need, see /boot/grub/menu.lst [22:16] mano: ok, but where do I "check for updates not published yet?" [22:16] mano: like u said [22:16] PiTiBruno: better ask in #knoppix [22:16] steveire: this is really just a guess, but i think sda4 really is an extended partition containing logical partitions, however it spans the range not only of the (windows) logical partitions it contains, but of the primary linux partitions too. it looks like a mess i cannot solve, anyway... remove the extended, and windows will be gone, leave it, and it won't be ok. if i'm reading this correctly, the linux partitions are just in the wrong places physically [22:17] <_Doonz> Samba prolem here. I have a share that im trying to copy a file from xp to ubuntu. Uder the Samba Config gui it says the share is read/write but i get an access denied error when i try to copy the file onto the share [22:17] perillux, with synaptic in repositories (hardy-proposed) [22:17] mano: can you explain how please? [22:17] gilf: er... there only the "isolinux" folder in "/boot" and I can't find "grub" in there [22:17] perillux, open synaptic... [22:17] mano: done.... [22:17] PiTiBruno: you really better ask in #knoppix [22:18] PiTiBruno: you just can chage it in an installed system [22:18] menu configuration [22:18] option repositories [22:18] mano: and then what? [22:18] gilf : sorry, I didn't understand ? what should I do ? === eatless is now known as bitter [22:18] any problem suid'ing screen for multi user session? [22:19] it just feels like a bad idea [22:19] perillux, in updates, theres an option called hardy-proposed [22:19] guntbert : seems nobody's takling to me in "#knoppix" === bitter is now known as Guest24908 [22:19] hola [22:19] mano: where in "updates"? I don't see an "updates" button... [22:19] PiTiBruno: to make linux boot with what you want you need to install it first [22:20] PiTiBruno: then try the forums or google, its often the quicker way :-) [22:20] mano: I found it [22:20] LjL: Thanks for the tips. [22:20] gilf: knoppix is mainly just a live CD [22:20] mano: it's in "repositories" [22:20] are there any music creation tools for Ubuntu/Linux similar to fruity loops or Pro Tools? [22:20] ok you mean it's impossible to modify it from the files in the iso... bad luck [22:20] guntbert: lol sorry i didnt know [22:20] hello, i have posted on the forums about trying to get my mic from my x-fi or my webcam working, any chance someone could take a look at the forum post or give me some ideas [22:21] something that has different intraments and you can add notes/edit and such. [22:21] hey guys [22:21] Keiyentai: I like Rosegarden [22:21] how are you all [22:21] ? [22:21] perillux, i have ubuntu in spanish so i dont really know the correct translation to english, but you should search where you configure repositories... I though dont recommend you to use that kernel because its not really tested like official updates [22:21] PiTiBruno: try ubuntu or openSUSE, they are my favourites OS's [22:21] well I have a question here [22:21] Do you have a link to it? [22:21] !ask | mijac [22:21] mijac: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [22:21] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=902528 [22:21] gilf : did what guntbert told you changes anything ? can the files in the iso be modified ? [22:21] what is happening now is that if I want to see a video only loads a bit, and then does not do it anymore, for example youtube [22:22] im using ubuntu during months [22:22] but this started 2 days ago [22:22] nvm found the site [22:22] do you know about a french live cd that would work under virtualPC ? [22:22] PiTiBruno: yes there are programs to change iso images, but i dont what you should change [22:22] PiTiBruno most probably you need to specified needed option in grub config file [22:22] Are there better themes/appearances for Ubuntu? seems like its very basic [22:23] Studiosus:my problem is I can't find "grub" [22:23] Keiyentai: Rosegarden should be in the Add/Remove Applications list [22:23] hola [22:23] oh cool ok I will check it out. [22:23] PiTiBruno file you need is in /boot/grub/menu.lst [22:23] Might have overlooked it [22:23] the "boot" folder only has "isolinux" folder in it [22:24] PiTiBruno: whats in isolinux folder?

[22:26] guntbert : I'm opening the URL right now [22:26] thx a lot [22:26] PiTiBruno as told above you need install your linux first to change it's boot params. or you should specify your needed option during boot of your LiveCD (manually). or you need to prepare and burn your own ISO image with needed option turned on === steven_ is now known as StevenX [22:27] after installation of mythbuntu with the graphical installer on my via epia m900, i get a grub error 2 and or 3.

[22:28] can someone tell me what my FPS are supposed to be sitting at for gaming? [22:29] arf, biggest pet peve about this version of linux is the horid look [22:29] kcman: about 30-60 [22:29] PiTiBruno yeah you need to prepare and burn custom iso to automate things [22:29] is there any way for my process to know whether the sigint or sigkill it receives is due to a system shutdown (and the warning message if there is any)? [22:29] LjL I think no === _kenshin is now known as kenshin [22:30] wnstn thousand?

[22:31] guntbert: because my process needs to output the fact that the system is being rebooted, and why.

[22:33] Studiosus: isn't it logged *after* the signals to processes have already been sent? [22:33] LjL yes, after [22:34] then i'm afraid my process can't catch it :| [22:34] ok so my FPS is siting between high 600's and mid 700's is this right or am i FUBAR?? [22:34] Hello, I'm looking for the package containing libstdc++-libc6.so.* [22:34] hi guys, I have ubuntu installed on one harddrive atm, and will now put a new harddrive in my computer and install windows on that one.. Is there a way to recover ubuntu afterwords. So that it becomes a type of dualboot? [22:34] I've googled - and all the packages suggested aren't in the repos [22:34] Fish-Face: http://packages.ubuntu.com is your friend [22:34] searching p.u.c didn't turn anythjng up [22:35] Fish-Face: then (if you've searched correctly) there is no such package, unless that's a symbolic link [22:35] How can i set totem to use Opengl? [22:35] how do i make the taskbar group similar windows? [22:35] LjL, well being a lib it quite possibly is I suppose [22:35] but searching for packages containing files including "libstdc" and then searching for libc6 doesn't turn anything up [22:35] hi, ive a problem with graphical effects [22:36] squarebracket <--- right click and "add to panel" [22:36] eitri_: probly just boot to th ubuntu cd, reinstall the kernel [22:36] LjL your process should receive SIGTERM which it can handle as needed [22:36] ok so my FPS is siting between high 600's and mid 700's is this right or am i FUBAR?? [22:36] Fish-Face: yet, there ought at least to be a proper file called something containing "libstdc++-libc6"... in any case, the most likely candidates would be libstdc++5 and 6 [22:36] gilf <-- what is your gaphic card? [22:36] what are the new compiz fusion plug-ins and animations hardy users can look forward to in intrepid? [22:36] didooofidooo: ati radeon hd [22:36] Studiosus: it can handle it, yes, but if there's nothing in the logs at the moment it receives it, it won't know whether or not it's a shutdown, will it? [22:37] LjL, aye, but I have both of those installed :| [22:37] gilf <-- did you install your ATI module? [22:37] any grub help? ubuntu / is on /dev/sda6 and I need to put grub on /dev/sda3 [22:37] kcman: 600-700 frames per second? [22:37] Hmm [22:37] Fish-Face: perhaps let's start from the beginning - why do you need that file? [22:37] To run a binary [22:37] diddoofidooo: yes [22:37] How does one install Jack Server? Rose Garden keeps saying it failed to connect to it [22:37] Same story as the others on the 'net who need it, it seems [22:38] Fish-Face: i suspect that, which binary? it's likely made for another distribution, where there is that library [22:38] i've booted the ubunto live cd. just don't know how to tell it do put grub on /dev/sda3 and that the root / is on /dev/sda6 [22:38] gilf <-- so what is the problem? [22:38] LjL, aye, it's supposedly a generic Linux binary, so obviously the assume we all have this library [22:38] inspyre: I don't want to reinstall ubuntu.. I've finally gotten it the way I like it.. [22:38] LjL I'm not quite sure, but you can try to determine if shutdown is in process by looking what current runlevel is [22:38] if anybody knows how to install a tv.caRD, PLEADE ANSWER [22:38] Fish-Face, unfortunately there is no such thing as a really "generic" linux binary though, as distributions (and versions) have all sort of different naming conventions [22:38] it's for the game "n" from metanet. I have installed in either gutsy or feisty, I'm pretty sure, and had to go through this process [22:39] mm [22:39] can someone please tell me how to completely remove mysql, including all of the config files? [22:39] Fish-Face, now it's not often I see you asking for help [22:39] so thatI can reinstall it. [22:39] diddoofidooo: all programs that use opengl(games and videos) blink and are "separated" of the window [22:39] rconan, O HAI [22:39] nvm got it [22:39] apparently something went fubar when installing mythtv. [22:39] inspyre: I think I found a way that will work. Just gotta print it out before I try: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [22:39] tdseth dpkg --purge mysql? [22:39] hehe, are you in brisl, conan? [22:39] Fish-Face, no, unfortunately not [22:39] thanks [22:39] LjL: have a look at http://linux.die.net/man/8/shutdown, "All processes are first notified that the system is going down by the signal SIGTERM " [22:39] !ot | Fish-Face and rconan [22:39] Fish-Face and rconan: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [22:40] Fish-Face, hardly on topic methinks, i wonder if anyones used that on themselves before [22:40] gilf <-- sometimes Upgrade is enough [22:40] wnstn yes that is where i am siting [22:40] jowls [22:40] wnstn according to glxgears [22:40] apt apparently screwed the mysql install when installing mythtv... and [22:40] gilf <-- upgrade your kernel and your graphic card module [22:40] and dpkg doesn't own it... [22:40] kcman1 what game are you trying to play? [22:41] diddoofidooo: i cant update more than they are [22:41] sudo apt-get purge mysql doesn't see to get rid of it completely either. [22:41] Fish-Face: uhm... unless i've got the wrong file - it works here [22:41] wnstn native ubuntu cedega apps wine all of them do not work [22:41] Fish-Face: is it this? http://www.harveycartel.org/metanet/downloads.html [22:41] LjL, er, that's somewhat... interesting! What si-- yes, that's it [22:41] they either will not install or just plain out will not play [22:41] diddoofidooo: thisalso happens when i use opensuse [22:41] LjL, that would be the one i believe [22:41] Fish-Face: let me run an strace. here i just start ./n_v14 and it loads [22:42] LjL, can you try and find what package supplies the file [22:42] hmm. open gl is installed cuz your running glx gears, right? [22:42] LjL, it might be possible to ascertain the runlevel from the script [22:42] Fish-Face: if i have it, then yes i can. hold on [22:42] lovely, cheers [22:42] gilf <-- Ooo!! are you sure this is not a Hardware problem? [22:42] wnstn everything in xorg.conf is generic [22:43] wnstn so yeah i guess i am opengl [22:43] what kind of 3dcard do you have? [22:43] unop: i'll investigate that possibility, yeah. although i'd also love to have the warning message, but man shutdown says you only get it from /etc/nologin *if* a delay was given [22:43] diddoofidooo: yes, everything works fine without grpahical effects and with windows xp [22:43] rconan, what are you here for? lurking? [22:43] wnstn get ready for this intel corp mobile 945gm [22:43] o_0 [22:44] Fish-Face, indeed [22:44] diddoofidooo: and another problem (maybe related) blur doesnt work [22:44] i have it open when I'm bored [22:44] Fish-Face: libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2: /usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so [22:44] libtheora-dev: Depends: libtheora0 (= 0.0.0.alpha7.dfsg-2ubuntu1) but 1.0~beta2-2~gutsy1 is to be installed I need this lib to install opencv in Ubuntu Gutsy [22:44] LjL, interesting, don't think I have that package [22:44] can anyone play the videos at http://www.thedailyshow.com/ with flash under Linux? [22:44] Fish-Face: not the same file, but likely to provide the symlink for it, checking [22:44] could you ascertain which repo it comes from? [22:45] indeed [22:45] or how can I force apt-get to completely remove mythtv, and then reinstall it? [22:45] near enough to probably be compatible if I manually symlink it anyway ^^ [22:45] gilf <-- I guess that a Post on the Ubuntuforums.org may help you more than me .... sorry [22:45] Hi Am running Kubuntu 8.04 and after running update last night. My Kwallet wasn't able to start at log in and therefore my knetworkmanager wasn't able to connect to the network.

[23:01] hey all, I've been having a ton of problems getting my video configuration to work. I've spent 5 days in here now trying to get it fixed, so I've come to this... Could someone walk me through properly uninstalling the ATI drivers, and pretty much all but the original Hardy gfx drivers and then walk me through getting everything back to normal? This is the last idea I have. [23:01] says this [23:01] anyone use Zim? it's kind of like Tomboy, a desktop wiki for notes.

D, and C. If I install ubuntu on C with the default installation, will my D be erased also? [23:11] woli: only if you tell ubuntu to erase it or let it partition for you [23:11] can i choose to install on C only the os? and on D everything else? [23:11] yes [23:11] xupas: is your laptop a bit old maybe? [23:11] Hi. I have a Dell Laptop. If I change in Bios from SATA Operation to AHCI, does Ubuntu have the necessary driver included. And is there a noticeable speed increase compared to normal ATA mode or is the only benefit from AHCI some additional features ? [23:11] brb, getting dressed [23:12] gaintsura: try removing the ati drivers from synaptic. and get use the drivers from ATI website directly. they have an easy graphical installer [23:12] if it doesn't work you can easily uninstall [23:12] blip-: thats what I did and catalyst still doesnt work =\ [23:12] xupas: you can try also acpi=force [23:12] Gentlepeople, I am unable to boot ubuntu from my main disk after a power failure.

[23:19] deepfriedsquirre: Yeah, you should defrag it first [23:19] how do I find out what changed in the 2.6.15-52.71 kernel? [23:19] I see. But I don't need to do anything with an ext3 one first, yes? [23:19] deepfriedsquirre: Not really, there is no fragmentation in ext3 [23:19] !ext3 [23:19] ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [23:20] !ext2 [23:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about ext2 [23:20] tyg13: it just hangs at "Setting up phpmyadmin (2.8.1-1~dapper1) ..." [23:20] Ello [23:20] anyone use cron-apt much? [23:20] what is this fallacy that everyone keeps perpetuating about no fragmentation in ext3? [23:20] it does fragment. [23:20] wil_: Kill the process. Retry it. If it doesn't work then come back [23:20] Swish: Not as bad as NTFS [23:20] perhaps it has better resistance than other FSs like NTFS, but saying "oh, it doesn't fragment" is a bald-faced lie :) [23:21] im trying to get WEP running on my Thinkpad R51 on 8.04.. ipw2200 wasnt enable, so i modprobe'd it and the ieee802111 driver.. how do i get ubuntu to use these drivers instead of the atheros drivers? [23:21] Swish: I understand that. But I'm just giving a comparison. Compared to NTFS, EXT3 has almost no fragmentation [23:22] tyg13: thanks, I'll try [23:22] now you are. before, you were just saying in absolute terms that ext3 doesn't fragment :>" [23:22] could someone walk me through (fully, because for some reason I must be doing something wrong) removing and re-installing video for ATI on hardy [23:23] Is it worth going to ubuntu 64 bit at the moment? [23:23] Swish: Sorry for my incorrectness. I'll try to get my facts right. I have almost no current knowledge about EXT3. [23:23] :) [23:23] Gman99999: If you have a 64-bit processor [23:23] hey how do I change a users name [23:23] Gman99999: yes and no, there isnt full support for 64bit yet, not everything works [23:23] anyone? [23:23] it's a more stable FS than xfs or reiser, that's for sure [23:23] d4x02 [23:23] yes? [23:23] tyg13: not necessarily, I had problems getting wifi to work in 64bit [23:24] Gman99999, only if you have more than 4GB RAM and care about the small performance hit you get with x32 kernel. [23:24] personally given a 4GB RAM or less computer I'd go with x32 [23:24] above 4GB I'd really have to ask myself if I needed x64 for anything. [23:24] saying extX is more stable than reiser could be deemed a bald-faced lie :) [23:24] reiser's a killer FS.. so how do I get ubuntu to use ipw2200 instead of the atheros drivers it configured at install time? [23:24] What is it that doesn't work with 64-bit? [23:24] Swish: why is xfs less stable than ext3? [23:24] unop, I'm not sure you're right about that ;) [23:25] which is the best filesystem to go with right now? [23:25] Swish, and i am not sure you are either :) [23:25] ubunalso: ndiswrapper afaik, if not that, checkout madwifi [23:25] Swish: with 4GB ram you can loose a good chunk of it with 32 bits the mark is 3-3,5GB [23:25] based on what I read and people's horror stories, and the amount of time ext3 has been in the wild and battle tested... xfs and reiser do not seem to be as stable to me. [23:25] Gman99999, depends on your needs -- there is no "best" [23:25] erUSUL, not on ubuntu. === tsukasa_ is now known as tsukasa [23:26] ok so 64 bit support sucks for right now, there aren't any 64bit applications that are out with linux to benefit from the 64 bitness yet is there? [23:26] the x32 kernel will use PAE or whatever (highmem kernel option) to map in all 4GB [23:26] Swish: ah, k [23:26] Gman99999: pretty much, its getting there, but slowly [23:26] the 64bit kernel sucks too? [23:26] well not sucks [23:26] that I don't know [23:26] "has less support" [23:26] yes. [23:26] ahh k thanks guys [23:26] same with x64 on the windows side [23:26] I had a lot of driver/hardware problems with ubuntu 64bit [23:26] yeah [23:27] if your limited set of used applications are all available (and stable) in x64 and so are your drivers... might be no reason not to make the switch [23:27] I'd love to get 64bit working on here, because then I'd be using my system at full ability instead of half = [23:27] how does ubuntu do with dual channel memory? [23:27] and 4gb of memory [23:28] so nobody knows how to find the changelog in ubuntu kernel releases? I could have sworn I googled it a few weeks ago, but can't find it again :( [23:28] oss issue with mic anyone have a post or direction they can point me in? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=902528 is a post I made but stuck [23:28] Swish: not the ubuntu kernel nor the windows one both use pae but have problms with 4GB becouse of pci memory holes (unles you use highmeme on linux but the desktop kernel does not use it afaik) [23:28] i really need someone to help me figure out my sound card problem.. pleeeeesssseeee! [23:29] ravet: pretty anything you can think of works on 64 bit ubuntu [23:30] how can i name desktops instead of having the number there? like: i want my desktop #3 be "comunications desktop" or something along that line [23:30] ravet: that's my impression [23:30] a friend told me i should run 64-bit version of the OS on my Dell XPS M1530 (Duo Core 2 CPU) ... is that the right thing to do ? [23:30] erUSUL: Anything in particular that I should be aware about? Or is there any good reason not to get the 64-bit version? [23:30] erUSUL: how about suspend to ram? any problems... [23:31] blip-, not really. I'm kinda sure that you won't run a 64-bit efficient app at a notebook, neither use 3Gb RAM+ [23:31] try all your favorite apps/hardware/drivers in x64. If they all work, you can decide to switch [23:31] ravet: w32codecs wont work and for the java plgin in firefox you will have to use the icedtea version [23:31] if some stuff breaks... don't switch. [23:31] ravet: that's all i can think of [23:31] ...with 4gb 64 bit [23:31] timob: i use a desktop pc sop i hardly suspend ... [23:31] here's a better question: are there any compelling x64 applications that REQUIRE x64 ubuntu to run? [23:31] otherwise, why are people bothering? [23:31] not at all [23:32] erUSUL: So if I don't care about JAVA or w32codecs (for .wma?) I should just get the x64-version? [23:32] I'm having the weirdest bugs happen with compiz and kde and gnome, now i can't even use the nvidia driver anymore, it says its using glx, but also saying its not, Ive checked the xorg, it looks fine, all in an effort to get compiz working on kde, and get awn working on kde [23:32] my wireless card is giving me problem, I need that computer hooked up by tomorrow, details in this topic: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=904720 [23:32] hey, i just used the package manager to install the java jdk, where is it installed to? [23:32] ravet, RealMedia files too [23:33] Swish: the reason for 64bit is faster processing, more data handling in a shorter amount of time. I don't think there is a requirement for 64bit, but it is faster, and in my opinion, better if all of your apps support it [23:34] ravet: i can see wmv (not all of them but most of them) and java works in firefox (keep in mind that i am only talking about the firefox plugin for applets) but it is not the official sun plugin but one based on icedtea. The jre and jdk are aviable in 64 bit [23:34] gaintsura, that's a load of bull btw. :) Show me some benchmarks on *particular* applications that run faster in x64, and I'll agree. I think there are some h.264 codecs that do. But saying in general the average user will see significant performance improvement from x64... I don't think so. [23:34] ok so my FPS is between 600 and 700 is this normal [23:34] Hi I have a problem with my network can someone help me please??? [23:34] kcman, what kind of vid card?

[23:35] so I believe I've got better acceleration options [23:36] LjL, I always assume ppl are talking about glxgears [23:36] which is not a benchmark. not even close [23:36] Swish: I never said that the average user would see performance improvement, I just meant as an overall general outlook [23:36] anybody :-( google is not helping [23:36] Wineo: open a console window and type whereis jdk ? [23:36] or whereis java? [23:36] gaintsura, and what's the difference between "overall general outlook being faster" and "average user will see faster performance" ?? ;) [23:36] Are there any disk deduplication backup software for linux [23:37] jereme: LjL i firmly believe glxgears should have keep the old -iacknowledgethisisnotabenchmark switch to show fps XXDD [23:37] jereme yes i was talking about glxgears [23:37] LjL: good to see you around again [23:37] * gaintsura proceeds to throw 60 year old marshmellow peeps at Swish [23:37] :D [23:37] hi erUSUL [23:37] stale is yumm. [23:37] thats wrong man [23:37] (they do microwave particularly well) [23:38] whersteed@ubuntu-laptop:~$ whereis jdk [23:38] jdk: [23:38] steed@ubuntu-laptop:~$ whereis java [23:38] java: /usr/bin/java /usr/share/java /usr/share/man/man1/java.1.gz [23:38] Wineo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:38] is a low FPS conducive to having poor gaming ability [23:38] Hi guys, I'm trying to install adobe flashplayer. Would it be easier to install it by tar.gz, RPM or YUM? http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash [23:38] !flash > StepNjump [23:38] StepNjump, please see my private message [23:38] kcman, depends on the game. How high of an FPS do you need to play checkers? :) [23:38] StepNjump: "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" [23:38] kcman: depends on if you can play with a 10fps and still manage to do what you need to do while missing frames in between [23:38] thanks Ubottu [23:39] kcman: glxgears' fps only (roughly) tells you whether or not you have any 3d acceleration enabled. if you want to benchmark anything meaningful, use GLOBS for instance (although i'm not sure there's currently an ubuntu package) [23:39] erUSUL, a true benchmark for performance it is not... however it's good enough to tell you whether glx is running [23:39] afternoon folks [23:39] LjL: how would I go about uninstalling all of the video drivers installed and basically starting from initial install graphics wise? [23:40] HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP [23:40] is there a problem with the vmware server package?? [23:40] !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [23:40] xheion: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:40] xheion: that doesn't help. [23:40] xheion, don't be annoying or nobody will help you [23:40] !ask | xheion [23:40] xheion: 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. :-) [23:40] ok well to answer the first two messages i cant run squat, i have cedega but that has been a total waste of time, i can NOT run native ubuntu 3d apps most after i click on them nothing happens, and using wine well that is another head ache in its self [23:40] <__mikem> xheion, if you would like help leaving the channel just keep doing that [23:40] I'm having big issues with my video drive and compiz and awn, if there's anyone who feel's they're smart enough to tackle this one by all means, here's a summary of what's happened http://www.planetblur.org/hosted/awnforum/index.php?shard=forum&action=g_reply&ID=2012&page=1&isLive=true [23:40] StepNjump: err... you mentioned just about EVERY possibility, *excluding* the Ubuntu related one... Ubuntu uses APT and .deb packages, not RPM or Yum (which, by the way, is just a way to install RPM packages). or .tar.gz if you can avoid it. [23:40] !software > StepNjump (StepNjump, see the private message from Ubotu) [23:40] checkers haha [23:40] StepNjump, please see my private message [23:41] Gman99999: ATI or nvidia?

[23:41] <__mikem> Gman99999, are you having trouble getting your nvidia card to work [23:41] Aquahallic: well, for starters, there is no such package in the standard repos ;) [23:41] _Doonz, to start on a server or on a desktop? [23:41] !caps | xheion [23:41] xheion: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [23:41] so ubuntu can read rpm's? [23:41] <__mikem> xheion, caps aren't thatliked around here either [23:41] kcman: no, it can't [23:41] dam [23:42] <_Doonz> its ubuntu desktop edition [23:42] anyone have a spear mac book laying around? [23:42] I need help configuring network manager to start my internet conection (pppoe) at the begining of the session [23:42] !startup > _Doonz (_Doonz, see the private message from Ubotu) [23:42] _Doonz, please see my private message [23:42] __mikem Ive had it working for a while until I tried to get awn working in kde, then the glx driver started taking over [23:42] _Doonz: when at login time or at boot time? [23:42] LjL: speaking of caps, I have this nice little sticker on my laptop... "Dont make me use uppercase!" [23:42] <__mikem> Gman99999, reinstall the driver? [23:42] __mikem I don't want the glx driver anymore, how do i get the nvidia one to work now? [23:42] <_Doonz> oh kool [23:42] <_Doonz> thanx [23:43] sorry here upper caps doesnt mean that [23:43] __mikem I was told by people that if im using the glx driver to not go and uninstall it while your still using it, but i can't seem to switch to the nvidia one anyway [23:44] <__mikem> Gman99999, drop to the root recovery shell [23:44] __mikem ok then what do i do? [23:44] <__mikem> Gman99999, start ubuntu in recovery mode, uninstall it, then reinstall it [23:45] __mikem re-install the nvidia driver? [23:45] history [23:45] <__mikem> Gman99999, yes [23:45] __mikem why do it in recovery as opposed to normally here in synaptic? [23:46] <__mikem> Gman99999, because in recovery mode you will be in text mode so you won't be running the driver [23:46] why not drop to a tty and kill gdm? [23:46] __mikem hmmm Im not that good with command line stuff [23:46] exit [23:46] __mikem I wouldn't know what to enter [23:47] i cant get 1650 x1050 resolution with my NV FX 5200GFX Card. In NVidia Settings my monitor detects as a ACIVW222 but is only displaying 1600x1200 max resolution how can i get it to 1650x1050. [23:47] does anyone know a tray app for volume control?
