I don't have auto login turned on so VNC isn't started, does anyone know how to log into a user account over SSH like you would through the login window so VNC will start? [00:00] dres: what do you mean? they seem to be commented...#set-default-sink output..., #set-default-source input .. do i uncomment them? [00:01] xubean: yea. if you want to make one sink/source the default you can uncomment them. then when you start up that sink/source will be the default output/input device.

[00:03] quaizar: is pulseaudio using ur creative card? and do u have more than two speakers? like 4.1 or 5.1 or whatever surround sound? === SunWuKung|away is now known as SunWuKung|away|a [00:03] xubean: it should sense and connect to both when it starts up. [00:03] I've made two installations of Ubuntu the last few days, where the system clock is set to local time, being CET. And the location has been set right, with the time zone. But yet, the clock that is reported by the system is two (2) hours off. Anyone else expirienced this? [00:03] xubean: it's just a matter of telling it which one to send sound to [00:03] no oss 4.1 and using 2 + sub [00:04] xubean: i have an x-fi which might be part of my problem [00:04] dres: ok then i don't have to exclusively mention it to use this one certain sound card? like the creative sound card? [00:04] no you shouldn't. [00:04] quaizar: sorry bro, i'm a noob here so I don't even know what x-fi means.. [00:05] xubean: just the type of card [00:05] ok dres, thanks, let me restart my computer and i'll be back.. [00:05] but it chooses the "first" (defined by what it finds first) to send output to. so just need to change that. === master_o1_master is now known as master_of_master [00:05] im at my end on this, been trouble shooting this for several days now [00:05] quaizar: oh ok.. :) sorry didn't know.. i'll be back need to restart [00:05] webcam mic and plugin mic neither working [00:06] got some distored sound through wine ventrilo with mic but can't seem to figure this out [00:06] quaizar: you've run alsamixergui and made sure the mic is turned on? (or something else) [00:06] ubuntu tools don't recognize the card but aplay and other diags do [00:06] using oss alsamixergui gives error [00:07] dres: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: no such device... i assume because i have to use oss 4.1 for creative xfi [00:08] quaizar: ah. sorry not familiar with the xfi [00:08] dres: think it has more to do with oss than the card its self [00:08] dres: what about webcam mics any experience with those? [00:08] quaizar: you have OSS 4.1 installed? [00:08] Daisuke_Ido: yes [00:09] my mouse is getting not very responsive...

[00:10] if it's not there, might have to right-click and edit the menu to get it to show... [00:10] quaizar: drivers for a type of webcam. [00:10] change the sound subsystem to oss by default [00:10] [06:09:02] how can i find where a drive is located in ubuntu, like /dev/sda1, that label. Although the drive cant mount, how would i do so [00:10] Daisuke_Ido: ah, it also gives an error, i assume because it uses alsa by default [00:11] Daisuke_Ido: no volume control gstreamer plugins and no devices found [00:11] quaizar: did you get the beta drivers from creative's site for the xfi? [00:11] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=902528 has all the diags i have run [00:11] yes [00:11] wat, sudo fdisk -l [00:11] dres: installed both the oss 4.1 and the beta drivers [00:12] oh [00:12] thanks deeperror [00:12] hello, how can i remove the older kernels?

[00:14] hi, I'm an user of Kubuntu since 7.04. Before there was an official mirror of Ubuntu packages repository on ftp://ftp.rrzn.uni-hannover.de/pub/mirror/linux/ubuntu, since 8.04 this repository could not be found using a list of official repositores besides the fact that it has always latest packages and seems be actual. Could somebody check it and if it is possible add this repository to the list of official repositories. [00:14] [01:10] for me it is important because I install Kubuntu other people on our university and don't want to waste my time editing sources.list manually, and other matter is that now using Adept manager repository from my univeristy is visible as third-party software and I cannot add an option in "Uptades" tab (Unsupported updates) and thus update KDE to 3.5.10 version. [00:14] i get this for hdparm /dev/sdc [00:14] HDIO_GET_UNMASKINTR failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device [00:14] HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device [00:14] HDIO_GET_KEEPSETTINGS failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device [00:15] it a 80 GB hd [00:15] prob 5 years old [00:15] #ams [00:16] quaizar: sorry. don't know.

[00:17] Well, I just installed ubuntu and I can't do anything as soon as I open any program I get a kernel panic (blinking caps and scroll lock lights) I had my system monitor open and nothing was being taxed... [00:17] Any clues as to what to do? [00:17] my aMSN dosnt work.. [00:18] what should i do? [00:18] it dosnt connect :( [00:18] MannyZ, did it work before? [00:18] yah [00:18] it did..

[00:21] Any clues as to what to do? [00:21] JohnT: maybe look at mbr package. [00:21] hmm, the gnome file chooser is really slow for some reason, as well as the gnome-panel properties dialog [00:21] someone gave me the site yesterday [00:21] to get the livecd [00:22] because i had ubuntu then split the parition and installed XP [00:22] cyphase: any hung mounts? [00:22] which now doesnt show ubuntu in the boot ment [00:22] menu* [00:22] hi [00:22] i'm installing ubuntu, and i have 2 hard disks [00:22] you need ntfs-3g to see the ntfs mounts [00:22] my mouse is getting unresponsive,is that normal? [00:22] JohnT: ah then yea you'll need to boot from the cd and run grub to fix that. [00:23] dres: no, but that wouldn't explain the gnome-panel properties dialog slowness [00:23] I mean, could it be related to ubuntu? [00:23] !sdparm [00:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about sdparm [00:23] when i am prompted of were to install, i choose the whole thing, but there is no option of where to install i mean, the partitioner asumes that both drives are one [00:23] and sums the sizes of both [00:23] zelrikriando: most likely no. [00:23] cyphase: no, but doesn't hurt to ponder. [00:23] anyone know how to use sdparm ??

[00:25] MannyZ, I knew the webcam with kopete was kinda shitty but I wanted you to check that you can connect... [00:25] question about /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist if anything with oss or usb sound is in ther that means it won't work? [00:25] yeah.. [00:25] pidgin works, kopete works.. [00:25] need help here [00:25] amsn used to work [00:25] :/ [00:26] MannyZ, if you can connect,then try another version of amsn or look up some posts about it in forums [00:26] zelrikriando, hmm ok [00:26] MannyZ, it can be a version issue or just the package got broken for some reason... [00:26] :/ [00:26] dres: do you know if items that are listed in blacklist mean they are turned off? because snd_usb_audio is in there [00:27] MannyZ, or the protocol changed on MS's side and amsn didnt follow up on that...I had some similar issues with ICQ back in the day.... [00:27] quaizar: i believe so. [00:27] well i forgot it [00:27] Well, I just installed ubuntu and I can't do anything as soon as I open any program I get a kernel panic (blinking caps and scroll lock lights) I had my system monitor open and nothing was being taxed...

[00:29] JohnT: you have to reinstall GRUB. I'll give you a link for that. One minute [00:29] thanks [00:29] greenman: I'd install memtest86+ on it. reboot and choose memtest at the grub menu and let it run for a bit to make sure that's not a problem [00:29] zelrikriando, i did it now :P [00:29] deeperror, any more details please :) ? [00:29] zelrikriando, ill test ! [00:30] AhmadSherif, sudo iptables --help [00:30] JohnT: I believe this is what you're looking for https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [00:30] deeperror, thanks very much [00:30] zelrikriando, how the hell that amsn still remembers my username and password? [00:31] if i choose the automatic installation and i have two drives, ubuntu believes there is only one (that is the combination of both). I i install it that way, what will happen? [00:31] zelrikriando, even i deleted amsn and reinstalled -.- [00:31] ah, super grub disk [00:31] dres: memtest? how do you get it? Also, I'm not sure how I would install it without going on the internet, is lynx installed by default? [00:31] thats what it was [00:31] nvm [00:31] thanks [00:31] em... [00:31] MannyZ, did you do --purge? [00:31] i did! [00:31] where are all files of updates and all stored? [00:31] in home, or elsewhere?

[00:33] greenman: you may have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and enable it then rerun update-grub [00:33] zelrikriando, amsn.. or msn clients? [00:34] can i make my home partition after the installation? [00:34] hello [00:34] MannyZ: I don't know about the program in question, but could it be that your program saves files in a folder that's not part of the installation, and thus not uninstalled? [00:34] zelrikriando, i got only one amsn but i got several clients.. that i have tried [00:34] hello [00:34] hey all [00:34] can anybody help me with the installation?

[01:05] damn excited about this whole new change [01:05] johnny_, the only thing I can do there is resize it in pixels, but it won't create 2 rows in the window listing [01:05] koyo001; right click and add panel.. i'm looking to see what you'll add to the new panel to get the option you want. [01:05] kam1kaz3: make it bigger [01:05] just keep adding pixels [01:05] ohhh, thanks a bunch johnny_ =D [01:05] koyo001; sorry, new panel [01:05] how to hack into ssh [01:05] where are all my applications installed?

[01:08] no.. don't do that [01:08] zelrikriando: isn't debian the language linux is written in? [01:08] but you can moutn your hard drive anywhere you want [01:09] em, because my root drive is only 18gb big... [01:09] woli: Debian is the distribution Ubuntu is based on [01:09] is it enough? [01:09] woli, no .. ubuntu is an offshoot of debian [01:09] xtract: you can do that already. Just click and drag [01:09] johnny_, yeah, but if I resize the taskbar to 48px (so I get 2 rows in the window listing) the icons next to the clock get huge, and eats away window listing space [01:09] so anyone know why my ubuntu partition wont boot now? [01:09] ah... [01:09] woli: that's why i use lvm.. so i can change the volumes [01:09] but you could move all files in a large directory to your new hard drive [01:09] Megaqwerty: do i need a home partition while i have a whole hdd to save my things in? [01:09] and then mount that hard drive [01:09] woli: yes [01:09] pay attention [01:09] woli: yes [01:10] you own the files in your own [01:10] woli: you should have your extra drive set up as your home partition [01:10] home [01:10] jrib: I just tried and it didn't work. Could it be that I am using it in vmware? [01:10] kam1kaz3, create a new taskbar. [01:10] does anybody here have some problems with suspend laptop from suspend mode? [01:10] Megaqwerty: how big? the drive is 90gb big, i hear 192kbps music [01:10] or johnny_ [01:10] xtract: maybe. Has always worked for me. Are you clicking on white space and then dragging? [01:10] daekdroom, k, I'll try that, ty :) [01:10] kam1kaz3, if you resize a single taskbar to 48px it won't have a 2 row window listing. [01:10] yes [01:10] well, i guess i will store my music elsewhere in the drive... [01:10] oh, but I want it to [01:11] woli: just moutn your drive at /home [01:11] and put all home files in there [01:11] I just want the icons next to the clock to also have 2 rows [01:11] uh ok [01:11] woli: that's up to you, but optimally, if you aren't using the drive for anything else, I'd just make the whole thing my /home [01:11] thanks [01:11] xtract: should work then :/ Maybe try a live cd to make sure it works there (if you care enough about this) [01:11] wow, you guys are synched lol [01:11] kam1kaz3, I have no idea of how to do that :x [01:11] ok [01:11] thanks for the information [01:11] heheh, me neither :) [01:11] damn [01:12] already on the way =D [01:12] should i close this for a smaller error margin? [01:13] nvm, cya [01:13] does anyone know how to make the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 [01:13] fairly off topic... but can anyone give me an idea of a distro that is like or as light as puppy that would work on my celeron lappy??? i had problems with puppy, knoppix and ubuntu.. [01:14] Isn't there xubuntu? [01:14] tried that one too... [01:14] Well anyways thats what my friend uses and he has an ancient laptop [01:14] with ubuntu i had to revert back to 5.04.. [01:14] Mr_Fixit: Fluxbuntu? [01:14] Hm..

[01:15] is /tmp cleaned every time i reboot? [01:15] Mr_Fixit: if Fluxbuntu doesn't work, I suppose you could try Damn Small Linux (DSL) [01:16] would fluxbuntu work on a 1.5ghz 256 ram? [01:16] lol [01:16] what is fluxbuntu? [01:16] !fluxbuntu [01:16] fluxbuntu is a LPAE-standard compliant, Ubuntu-based derivative that maintains the goal of running on a wide range of mobile devices and computers (low-end & high-end). It is lightweight, swift and efficient. | Support Channel: #fluxbuntu on freenode | Homepage: http://fluxbuntu.org/ [01:16] wow, ubuntu has many children [01:16] sounds good... thanks again guys [01:16] like bob marley [01:17] Mr_Fixit: no problem [01:17] haha bad analogy... ubuntu is a slut with many programmers [01:17] hehe [01:17] Johnt: try here http://www.fixya.com/support/t888401-ubuntu_repair_grub and http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm#17 [01:17] woli: they're really mostly the same distro with different desktop environments. confusingly, they give them different names. [01:17] koyo001; i found it.. once you have the toolbar back at the bottom click add to panel ... then scroll down the list and add 'window list' .. you'll have to do some resizing of that applet on the toolbar. the rest of the items like trashcan or show desktop stuff are named righ tin there. [01:18] prince_jammys: whats fluxbuntu's de ? [01:18] woli: fluxbox [01:18] is it better than gnome? [01:18] Johnt: is that helps you? [01:18] no [01:18] matter of opinion [01:18] not for anybody but an advanced user [01:19] you have to edit config files with it often [01:19] in cool effects and stuf... [01:19] no [01:19] woli: most would say no. it's the one i use. [01:19] woli: it's less featureful than gnome [01:19] ah [01:19] will flux support my built in wifi and sound on my lappy?? [01:19] yes [01:19] woli: but it's faster [01:19] i guess.... [01:19] yes to me salaz? [01:20] woli: once you've installed ubuntu, you can try them all without having to uninstall anything. [01:20] Hi, everyone. I'm having a weird wireless issue. Can anyone help? [01:20] neh... nvm lol [01:20] Mr_Fixit: yes [01:20] i'll stick to gnome [01:20] tony: what wireless card do you have?

So that explains my log. So new question: How can I tell Xorg to use evdev when I plug a mouse in after X has started? [01:25] i was unaware of dell linux [01:25] im not wanting to do a live cd [01:26] teXXas: I thought you said you were trying to alter the ubuntu iso [01:26] yeah [01:26] why would you? [01:26] teXXas: then I'm confused. Are you trying to change the alternate cd? [01:26] Hello. Does anyone know of phone unlocking software that will work in Linux? [01:26] so i dont have to compile and install my driver from scratch [01:27] so it can be already done when it's done installing ubuntu [01:27] any1 know how to monitor bandwidth accross 2 computers on a LAN?

[01:28] i ran prime75 for an hour [01:28] 95 [01:29] teXXas: let me just get my development computer turned on [01:29] D_Graham; monitor the network card (ex. eth0) which you'll monitor all traffic on said card. install netspeed or netspeed_applet.. look in synaptic for the exact package name [01:30] bastid_raZor; netspeed is the package name. [01:30] hi there I`m looking for way to make my mouse wheel to work. Here is the mouse section of my xorg.conf file http://pastebin.com/d50d98ff1 [01:30] русские есть? [01:30] D_Graham; netspeed.. you can add that to the panel if you like.

[01:31] D_Graham; oh, i see what you mean. i don't know of way to monitor another computers card from yours.. if that is even possible. [01:31] outbriber i was wondering if its possible to program the Dell Media Direct button to boot up a different partition [01:31] bastid_raZor: yeah i think i will just use both and monitor seperate === foolz is now known as ItsMatt [01:32] Johnt: I'm not sure how to do it in Ubuntu. [01:33] hi there I`m looking for way to make my mouse wheel to work. Here is the mouse section of my xorg.conf file http://pastebin.com/d50d98ff1 [01:33] teXXas: do you need help packaging it? [01:34] yes [01:34] does ubuntu have a recovery mode? [01:34] toto; add Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" under device /dev/psaux [01:34] How can I edit how Xorg chooses a driver to use when I "hotplug" a mouse? [01:35] Johnt: yes [01:35] Johnt: yes, it's an option in the grub menu [01:35] can i get a link on how to recover? [01:35] Johnt: reboot. Choose "recovery mode" from the grub menu. It gives you a root shell, nothing more. What is wrong? [01:35] Johnt, recover what exactly? [01:36] ok ill explain everything again [01:36] i installed ubuntu on my entire disk [01:36] Johnt: don't use enter to break up your thoughts as it makes it harder to follow what you are saying [01:36] kk sorry [01:37] How can i check if my hdd has any bad sectors? [01:37] still doesn`t work [01:38] i installed ubuntu on my entire disk then used gparted and installed XP but XP overrid the mbr and wasnt detecting the ubuntu setup so i reinstalled grub but i get a cannot mount error on it and XP wasnt on the list so right now i restored XPs mbr and i dont know what to do [01:38] toto; you need to restart X [01:39] Johnt: do you have any data on the disk or are you ok with starting over? [01:39] i can reinstall XP but i'd rather keep my ubuntu setup === orph17 is now known as orph17_ === orph17_ is now known as orph17 [01:40] but if there isnt a choice i guess i could reinstall ubuntu [01:40] yo stevenw [01:41] Johnt: well it would be a lot easier to just format your drive with a partition for windows and ubuntu, install windows first on the first partition, then install ubuntu on the rest of the space. As it is, you need to reinstall grub and troubleshoot the issues you have after you do that (ie paste errors and such) [01:42] is bittorrent in the respositories? [01:42] my /boot partition is 99% full and system is not working properly. How do I remove old kernel packages? [01:42] jrib: so just formatting everything would just be alot easier? [01:42] duli: open synaptic and look for linux-image- packages [01:42] Johnt: that's usually easier, yes. Make sure you put windows on the first partition [01:42] joanki123: yes [01:42] joanki123, there are a bunch of bittorent clients [01:42] jrib, thanks [01:43] Daisuke_Ido: synaptic is not working, due to lack of space on /boot [01:43] duli: remove the appropriate linux-image* [01:43] hello, my ubuntu is very slow , I have a intel dual-core processor, how do I verify that the system has reconigzed and configured correctly my pc? [01:43] duli: use apt-get and pastebin errors [01:43] jrib: sorry, I'm new to ubuntu, how do I remove? apt-get something? [01:43] ok, just a sec [01:43] duli: apt-get remove [01:43] chug0: u have more than ubuntu really needs..it shouldnt be slow [01:44] it's probably trying to install a new kernel and can't, so he can't remove the old one via apt-get [01:44] jrib: how do I list what linux-image are installed?

[01:44] duli, dpkg -l 'linux-image-*' [01:44] in my case (this happened a couple weeks ago), i deleted the oldest image by hand, then apt-get -f install [01:44] unop: tks [01:44] duli: aptitude search '~i~nlinux-image' [01:44] How can i check if my harddrive has any bad sectors? Please assist. [01:45] Hanz: new processor usually already comes with thermal compound [01:45] stepa1: fsck -c might be the command. I suggest you google before you try that [01:45] Hanz, ask in #hardware [01:46] salaz: cheers man [01:46] Hanz: Yep looks good. [01:46] Hanz: yes, it is the thermal compund alredy installed [01:46] chug0, what kernel are you using [01:46] Cheers everyone, 64 bit time for now. [01:46] #salaz: I think it is, how do I verify that works properly? === PrivateVoid_ is now known as PrivateVoid [01:47] ok sort of a newbish question [01:47] whats the easiest way to format the HD so theres only one partition [01:47] jrib, unop: http://pastebin.com/m1fd63885 [01:47] johnt by using gparted [01:48] !gparted [01:48] ok [01:48] gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [01:48] ayuh [01:48] Johnt: is this an external HDD or the one you are running right now?

[01:48] internal [01:48] duli, so run what it says. sudo dpkg --configure -a [01:48] unop: won't work [01:48] joanki123, dl a torrent file [01:48] !torrents | joanki123 [01:48] joanki123: Hardy can be torrented from http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your architecture.

[01:48] joanki123: choose your .torrent file you want [01:48] it's trying to configure a kernel and there's no room in boot [01:48] bazhang, can you elaborate, don't understand [01:48] Johnt: you will have to use a livecd version to make one partitino, but you will loose your information on the partitinos you delete [01:49] joanki123, choose one of the above [01:49] Daisuke_Ido, how do you know this? [01:49] unop: exact same issue two weeks ago :) [01:49] * jrib raises hand as well :) [01:49] fajalou i got it thanks [01:49] can someone tell me what "GTK 2.x" is? [01:49] perillux: GUI toolkit [01:49] Daisuke_Ido, this could be down to an entirely different issue tho [01:49] bazhang, this link does not work : http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent [01:50] mmmkay [01:50] jrib: like metacity, or compiz? [01:50] unop: http://pastebin.com/m79736042 [01:50] perillux: no, like gtk or qt [01:50] perillux: no, metacity and compiz are window managers [01:50] unop: no space left [01:50] perillux: why do you want to know? [01:50] Daisuke_Ido, looks like you were right tho. [01:50] perillux: GTK is a tookit developers use to make graphical applications [01:51] unop: he mentioned the space thing earlier [01:51] duli, you'll have to create some free space on your drive where /boot is [01:51] somehow text files are now associated with scribus so that when I double click on them Scribus tries to open them. Where do I change the default program to open a file? [01:51] jrib: Megaqwerty: I'm just looking around in gnome-look.org and I found a cool theme and it says Type: GTK 2.x Theme/Style and I'm wondering if I can use it [01:51] Daisuke_Ido, i missed that part. [01:51] no worries :) [01:51] perillux: you can if you use Gnome [01:51] duli: just make some room by moving some files from the oldest kernel that you want to remove somewhere else [01:51] Megaqwerty: I do :) thanks [01:51] http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ joanki123 check the bottom of this page [01:52] Megaqwerty: do I have to download any packages or anything?

I'm the admin, but want the others to have limited access eg they cannot change menus or use certain programs. Have gone to user settings but this does not seem to achieve the goal.

Once downloaded, open System>Preferences>Appearance go to themes, and drag the theme into the window [01:52] jrib: Megaqwerty: but do I have to download a gtk package or something to be able to use it? [01:52] Megaqwerty: ok [01:53] bazhang, thanks [01:53] np ") [01:53] When I set user settings and log in to the new downgraded user, they can still change menu items etc. [01:53] perillux: nope. You use it in system -> preferences -> appearance [01:54] somehow text files are now associated with scribus so that when I double click on them Scribus tries to open them. Where do I change the default program to open a file? [01:54] alistair: of their own menu [01:54] Dante124, see this here for an idea. http://www.marksanborn.net/linux/making-gvim-your-default-text-editor-in-gnome/ [01:54] bazhang: kernel 2.6.24-16 generic [01:54] jrib, how do you add a factoid for ubottu ?

I need to ask advice, but it's OT and could be viewed as advertising?

[01:57] iam uzsing it [01:57] alistair: why not make a few different user accounts? perhaps with a shared dir for whatever files you want to share? [01:57] http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page [01:57] RobertSpencer, private message me [01:58] so it can do visual basic c++ and c#? [01:58] bazhang: 8.04 hardy [01:58] nate__: no, it only contains compilers for c# and vb.net [01:58] nate__: but i should be able to run all .net assemblies [01:58] chug0, you need to update and upgrade to the latest kernel [01:58] ok thanks [01:59] nate__: but it doesnt support mixed mode binaries [01:59] !info monodevelop [01:59] monodevelop (source: monodevelop): C/C++/C#/Boo/Java/Nemerle/ILasm/ASP.NET Development Environment.

[02:01] annoyingly slow [02:01] but mono ide : monodevelop doesnt have gui designers for asp.net or windows forms [02:01] yeah rite [02:01] once u go ubuntu fast you dont go back [02:01] you don't install Vista on a computer with 512 MB of RAM [02:01] i got4 gigs [02:01] and a quad core [02:01] you're lying then [02:01] HymnToLife: but it's "Vista Capable"!

[02:04] jrib: thanks let me check it [02:04] !cli > luckis [02:04] luckis, please see my private message [02:05] on my desktop bottom panel missed. how to enable that panel [02:05] luckis: that won't work for what you asked though [02:05] unop: fixed, tks [02:05] duli, yw [02:05] sasi: its gone?.. if so, just right lcick your top panel and choose new panel. [02:05] unop: why does ubuntu keep keeping all previous kernel and not just the last two? Is it possible to do it that way? === yabba3borg is now known as dddjdyaa [02:06] k thank you IndyGunfreak [02:06] duli, yes - the /boot/grub/menu.lst can 'show' only the last few (i have it set for 2) .. you can manually remove the others also with the package manager. [02:06] When you run memtest, does it stop when finished or keep looping forever? [02:06] salaz: i only have athe broadcom b43 as an option and it is ticked [02:06] i installed ubuntu on my laptop and enabled restricted drivers (video) now my screen won't come up is there a way to disable those in console? [02:07] how to make like disc cleanup? deleting files that are not needed? [02:07] Dr_willis: yes yes, but I would like ubuntu to automatically remove the last kernels, is it not possible? [02:07] Smithery2: is it enabled? [02:07] duli, why? because if you install a new kernel and there are problems with it that stop you from booting, you'd be stuck. , you need to be able to get back and use the older kernel [02:07] but there is no minimized windows....what happend [02:07] Smithery2: how about the status? [02:07] unop: because /boot has limited space, and I think only two past version are good enough [02:07] qual o canal em português do brasil sobre ubuntu? [02:07] is there a workaround for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ia32-libs/+bug/253430 ?

Ive never bothered. since i am not worried about the little space a kernel takes up. [02:09] salaz: enabled yes [02:09] Dr_willis, unop: Ok guys, tks.. [02:09] I am not finding tabs on bottom panel ..........how can enable that feature [02:10] Smithery2: it should already have the connection, maybe u have the switch on button on ur laptop perhaps? [02:10] sasi, for the dock? [02:10] duli: I actually think this feature is implemented in Intrepid [02:10] no no [02:10] well I thought that but the button will not light up anywyas [02:11] Megaqwerty: Hum, what is it, a package I can install? [02:11] sasi: right click the panel... add to panel, and add "Window List" === Jonny is now known as Lincid [02:11] like irc minimized windows ..i could not find [02:11] anyone on how to disable the restricted drivers? [02:11] duli: No, it's pretty low level configuration [02:11] Smithery2: try to reboot if u just updated the softwares n drivers [02:11] duli: (they tweaked grub and init) [02:11] Megaqwerty: hum... ok [02:11] sasi: because its a brand new panel, it has nothing installed on it, install Windows list like i todl you, and you'll get your tabs back. [02:11] With Ubuntu's default laptop CPU scaling, is there some way to stop it scaling down totally when it's on power? [02:11] how should I update the drivers? [02:11] Hate to come bug you guys but with totem none of my videos have sound, I have sound for other applications. [02:11] synaptic? [02:12] It likes to scale down when I start doing something demanding which is very annoying. [02:12] blankthemuffin, i recall the gnome-power-manager applet (or whatever showed the battery in the panel) I thought had that feature/settings for that. [02:12] cpierce: what restricted driver are you wanting to disable? [02:12] Smithery2: sudo apt-get update [02:12] blankthemuffin, it should scale up almost instantly. [02:12] Smithery2: and sudo apt-get upgrade [02:12] ok its working..but all windows starting from right side [02:12] circs: have you checked totem's sound level thing? [02:12] Smithery2: just say yes when asked [02:12] quickie - how bogged down does everyones system get? I've ran my ubuntu for about a year now and its getting rather slow (almost like windows did) - and now the power button on the top right dosent work! :S [02:13] sasi: the list of window tabs, should have a little tab beside it.. right click it, and click "move".. and move it to the left [02:13] When it's plugged in it sits at full speed most of the time, until I start something heavily taxing like a compile and then it promptly drops back to 1.6 ( from 2.2 ) [02:13] nickweb, you may wish to get deborphan and clear your apt cache [02:13] Smithery2: is that helps? [02:14] IndyGunFreak: nvidia .. .caused my display to go crazy [02:14] salaz, thanks I'll keep you informed [02:14] bazhang, installing it just now... [02:14] what is the quick and dirty upgrade command from the shell. [02:14] cpierce: i don't see why the restricted driver would do that.. [02:14] how to make task like disc cleanup? deleting files that are not needed? [02:14] did you set it up w/ nvidia-settings after enabling the driver? [02:14] Smithery2: welcome [02:14] IndyGunFreak: was working before ... [02:14] IndyGunFreak: no i just rebooted like it told me [02:14] salaz, I tried sudo apt-get upgrade and it has stalled [02:14] bazhang, shows a list of about 7 apps - what now? [02:14] alpha232, upgrade to a new version, or just your current software [02:14] cpierce: lol.. do you still hae the driver enabled? [02:15] Smithery2: what is it says? [02:15] IndyGunFreak: i'm asking how to turn it off [02:15] IndyGunFreak: in console now [02:15] bazhang: new version, apparently they pull everything when they retire a version instead of keeping an archive.. [02:15] salaz, nm it is working now [02:16] Smithery2: okeh [02:16] Smithery2: its checking for the internet connection and list of updated softwares [02:17] salaz, right now it is downloading openoffice new version [02:17] Megaqwerty: Yes I have, still no luck. [02:17] how come occasionally firefox freezes and turns grey? [02:17] Smithery2: ok nice ;-) happy updating [02:17] circs: are you sure no other applications are having this problem [02:18] Smithery: I had the same issue, ditch the beta and download 3.0.1 [02:18] circs: (firefox doesn't count) [02:18] well even pidgin goes grey [02:19] grey? is that a compiz thing it does when an app hangs? [02:19] Megaqwerty: Umm none that I know of. (I'm kind of a newbie so I haven't prodded to much) Is there something else I should try? [02:19] Dr_willis, yes [02:19] circs: try playing some music in rhythmbox [02:19] dompiz is working [02:19] cpierce: run this command from CLI.. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg take generic defaults, that should get you back to a GUI.. then you can fix the problem [02:19] compiz* [02:19] circs: if it doesn't work, I know how to fix it [02:20] hey [02:20] !fixgrub [02:20] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

I used super grub to restore grub but now theres no option to start windows. [02:23] alpha232: you can go 6.06 -> 8.04 since they are both LTS. Otherwise, yes you need to go one-by-one [02:23] drunkmuppet: go to /boot/grub/menu.lst [02:23] woli: what? [02:23] ubuntu installed, but i don't see my second hd... gparted does...

Whats the command you can run to allow you to setup up HD's to mount on startup? [02:29] woli: xchat is free [02:30] woli: System -> Administration -> Synaptic search for "irc client" [02:30] on nix yes it is, on windows it is not apparently [02:30] free for linux not windows though [02:30] Is there a modern, secure, equivalent of talkd for chatting with other users on a system (without any information ever leaving the box)?

I need to know which hard drive partition I am using, so I don't overwrite Ubuntu with OpenSUSE. How do I find out [02:37] lmartin92: yes [02:37] !Universe [02:37] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [02:37] WDC: type mount [02:37] lmartin92: use virtualbox, i have tried vmware, it is slow; xen is hard and not worth the trouble [02:37] heirrook: thanks [02:37] I will [02:38] heirrook: know anything about my mouse problem? [02:38] Megaqwerty: awesome. It sez sda2 but not sda1 [02:38] lmartin92: let me scrool up, i just caught your question out of the corner of my eye [02:38] ok, thanks for considering it [02:38] WDC: well, if it says "/dev/sda2 on / type ext3" that means sda2 is your primary partition for ubuntu [02:39] Hi, guys. I'm trying to play DVDs, installed lib2css and all that has been suggested by various threads, but VLC stops at 0:02 and the default doesn't do anything at all. Any ideas? [02:39] Megaqwerty: So, sda1 is not Ubuntu's amirite? [02:39] oh, I did try the thing with 2 different mice before I asked this question [02:39] WDC: if it doesn't mention sda1 anywhere in the output, ubuntu isn't using it [02:39] chrisdown, have you tried retail DVD's with the same result? [02:39] Megaqwerty: Woot. Thanks! [02:39] lmartin92: i am not sure i understand, what is your problem with the mouse? [02:39] im trying to install a dual boot Ubuntu/XP SP3 system and I have Ubuntu installed and the harddrive partitioned but when I tried to install Windows setup said it couldn't detect any harddrives connected to my computer [02:39] tlmiller: that's what i'm trying, could it be ArcoSS? [02:40] heirrook: I'm going to pm you [02:40] chrisdown: you want libdvdcss2 not lib2css [02:40] chrisdown, I have no idea what ArcoSS is, sorry [02:40] blackopus: that may have been the problem, i'll check [02:40] crackbadger: you need to modify your grub entries [02:40] tlmiller: it's sony protection, pretty common. doubt that's it [02:40] how do i add my own categories in sunbird [02:41] tlmiller blackopus: i'll try running some other dvds [02:41] chrisdown: try http://download.videolan.org/pub/libdvdcss/1.2.9/ [02:41] crackbadger: I think that's a problem better suited for ##windows [02:41] crackbadger: at this point you'll need to use a livecd and modify it through there [02:41] how come with my installer it wont let me resize the partition? [02:41] johnt: dynamic ntfs is a b* [02:41] blackopus: sorry, complete *nix newb here, how do i install the contents of the tar? [02:42] johnt: the way to getting dynamic ntfs to basic ntfs is a long hard proccess [02:42] so i shouldnt have installed xp with ntfs? [02:42] !source [02:42] You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [02:42] chrisdown: go to that url and click on the deb/ directory [02:42] k [02:42] I'm getting an error on bootup, is there a logfile somewhere I can view to see what the error is? [02:42] blackopus: which one? [02:42] presumably not dev [02:43] johnt: did you or did you not install xp with ntfs? [02:43] i did [02:43] Here's a question: I am running my web server machine and email server.. on sarge.. I want to upgrade it to ubuntu.. can I do that and have it keep everything relatively intact? [02:43] should i have not? [02:43] chrisdown: double click deb/ and then double click libdvdcss2_1.2.9-1_i386.deb [02:44] Help: I am superuser and want to hide my login name from the switch users menu. How can I do this pse? [02:44] johnt: do you understand there are 2 different types of ntfs? [02:44] it will prompt you to save [02:44] Would anyone know why Nautilus would stop auto-updating file-sizes and folder contents (forcing a manual refresh) ?? [02:44] blackopus: done, should i try vlc now? [02:44] k [02:44] heirrook: why would it have anything to do with GRUB? [02:45] heirrook: I have a live CD [02:45] lmartin92 no i didnt [02:45] chrisdown: open a terminal and type in dpkg -i libdvdcss2_1.2.9-1_i386.deb [02:45] as root [02:45] or sudo [02:45] ok [02:45] an Asus Eee PC laptop is taking about 5 minutes to boot 8.04, does anyone know what the problem could be, and could someone direct me to the location where the boot errors would be logged to? [02:45] Megaqwerty: I asked in Windows they didn't help much [02:45] crackbadger: you installed linux first and then windows right [02:46] crackbadger, it's most likely because you have a sata HDD. [02:46] the pidgin deb says that it conflicts with my current installation... [02:46] Anyone know a good way in Ubuntu to accomplish the same thing as peerguardian? [02:46] chrisdown: I had the same problem with VLC before installing livdvdcss2 [02:46] blackopus: cannot access archive: No such file or directory [02:46] johnt: pm me [02:46] crackbadger: because if you did, it is definitely going to be something you will need to take care of in grub (unless you use lilo, then lilo problem) [02:46] crackbadger, sata is not supported fully by XP by default so you'll either need to roll your own install disk with the drivers, or turn off ACHI to install. [02:46] heirrook: yea Ubuntu is installed [02:47] blackopus: i already tried to install it by double clicking on it and installing, didn't seem to throw up any errors? [02:47] crackbadger: do you have a separate boot partition? [02:47] crackbadger: welcome to the new world [02:47] i just installed it also lol [02:47] blackopus: will that have worked? [02:47] Anyone worked with bridges in ubuntu here? [02:47] blankthemuffin: I was able to install XP SP2 on it [02:47] it seems that ubuntu is installed twice per hour lol [02:47] blankthemuffin: doesnt make sense why SP3 wont work [02:47] how does one upgrade, from sarge over to ubuntu? [02:48] bonez46: One doesn't. [02:48] chrisdown: no, you need to type the command at the prompt [02:48] that isn't really up, more like sideways [02:48] crackbadger, mmm odd. [02:48] One does a fresh installation and backs up prior data. [02:48] blackopus: any idea why it isn't working? [02:48] Orbixx: so I'd need to back it all up and then just set up exim4 and all the rest of my email... once I install ubuntu? [02:48] chrisdown: try sudo dpkg -i libdvdcss2_1.2.9-1_i386.deb [02:48] blankthemuffin: hope its not a hardware problem I've been having weird problems ever since I hooked a wire up from my laptop to TV [02:49] bonez46: Pretty much. [02:49] blackopus - that's what i did [02:49] Ubuntu and Sarge are very different. [02:49] Can someone help me out. Can't get my SATA drives to mount at all. I also want to get my IDE HD's to mount on startup. [02:49] blackopus - as i said it throws up cannot access archive: No such file or directory [02:49] blankthemuffin: had to reinstall Ubuntu because the harddrive LED was constantly flashing and it never stopped [02:49] Even though Ubuntu is Debian based. [02:49] RYknow: do you have SATA adapters for them. on the mobo, or is that built in? [02:49] built in. [02:50] heirrook: I didn't make a boot partition only a / and /home [02:50] chrisdown: did you save the file where you can find it? [02:50] desktop [02:50] blackopus: desktop [02:50] heirrook: plus a swap and the remaining space I formatted as FAT32 [02:50] cd /home/yourusername/Desktop [02:50] Why Fat crackbadger ???? [02:51] blackopus: did it. [02:51] I'm getting an error on bootup, is there a logfile somewhere I can view to see what the error is? [02:51] blackopus: should i try now, or reboot first? [02:51] crackbadger: when you install windows it replace the MBR with what it wants. the windows bootloader CAN boot windows (i don't know how to do it off hand) but grub needs to be reconfigured for the partition it is on to be booted to first [02:51] try typing the command that I gave you [02:51] blackopus: i did [02:52] blackopus: i have done all that, it worked. [02:52] cool [02:52] blackopus: what i mean is, now that it is installed what do i do [02:52] blankthemuffin: i was gonna use half of it to share between windows and linux === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:52] blackopus: restart or go straight to vlc? [02:52] go straight to VLC [02:52] when I try to mount a blank cd I get this error: Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: Unknown protocol ''.. Anyone know how to fix it? [02:52] crackbadger, I just use the ext plugin for windows for that. [02:53] heirrook: I know how to overwrite the MBR but I don't understand how that will help XP setup detect my harddrive [02:53] heirrook, I think the problem is he can't actually the windows installer not detecting any drives, not a boot problem. [02:53] I have a server machine running that every once in a while seems to completely halt, is there any way to figure out what's causing it to do so? [02:53] blankthemuffin: never heard of that ill look into it [02:53] click the play button and then click on the Disc tab and click Ok and see what happens [02:54] blackopus - not even 0:02 now, 0:00. [02:54] blankthemuffin: sorry, i thought i saw that there was trouble after he rebooted that it couldn't find disk to boot to [02:54] blackopus: and it seems to think it is an audio cd [02:54] blankthemuffin: Windows is always more trouble than its worth theres probably no point playing around with this crap [02:54] blankthemuffin: thanks for pointing that out [02:54] I have a server I can install windows on to play around with it [02:54] audio cd? [02:55] crackbadger, I usually find it much much more reliable to install windows first. [02:55] blankthemuffin: any other OS you recommend to fill up the remaining 80GB on my harddrive? [02:55] blackopus - on the bottom right it says 'audio cd - track 1' but it is def. a dvd [02:55] blankthemuffin: yea at least that way the GRUB loader is configured properly [02:55] blankthemuffin: it pisses me off the way windows overwrites the MBR [02:56] blankthemuffin: I found out a trick to fix it with the linux live CD though [02:56] Does anyone know if rc.local is ok with commands that must be run as sudo? I'm assuming since you need to be sudo to edit the file it allows the commands run right? [02:56] hello, am shrinking the windows partition to 19gb [02:56] i have a p4 2.4ghz [02:56] Did you click the Ok button? [02:56] i started to do this a couple of hours ago [02:56] blackopus - yes. [02:56] so will it finish in like 1 hour? [02:57] hi, i have troubles with my gnome sesion after ,migration from feisty to hardy, the desktop is frozer, i think that is a nautilus problem [02:58] chrisdown: testing with my install to see what I get [02:58] blackopus - ok, thanks. [02:58] i am trying to get my xorg.conf file to have a list of 2 differnt types of metamodes. i have dual monitors but want to play half life and need the single screen metamodes in the xorg to make half life work... [02:58] blackopus - should i try with another dvd too? [02:59] chrisdown: yes [03:00] Does anyone know if rc.local is ok with commands that must be run as sudo? I'm assuming since you need to be sudo to edit the file it allows the commands run right? [03:00] kavon: what types of commands are you running? [03:00] hello everyone, i need some help with scp [03:01] kavon: settting variables, running scripts? [03:01] heirrook: sudo iptables stuff [03:01] heirrook: i also need to start my teamspeak server, it's normally run by cd ~/teamspeak, then ./teamspeak start [03:01] chrisdown: Is it working ok? [03:02] when I try to mount a blank cd I get this error: Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: Unknown protocol ''.. Anyone know how to fix it? [03:02] blackopus - currently getting a dvd not with ArcoSS [03:02] what is ArcoSS? [03:02] kavon: it should work without it, try it and see if it works [03:02] hell my copy paste is broken -.- [03:03] kavon: without adding sudo before i mean [03:03] ArcoSS is Sony's copy protection system. It's pretty hard to get through. [03:03] blackopus [03:03] heirrook: ok, and about teamspeak, how do i make that work? ./home/teamspeak/teamspeak start doesn't work [03:04] heirrook: like in the commandline, normally i just cd to the dir then ./teamspeak start [03:04] heirrook: how should i go about doing this in the rc.local [03:04] Try some other DVD. I am not familiar with ArcoSS. Never had a problem until I instal llibdvdcss2 [03:04] how do i brake up a large file in to smaller files like an archive [03:04] kcman: split [03:04] blackopus - just to let you know, the default player failed with 'internal flow error' [03:04] trying vlc now [03:04] jrib how do i open that and or use that "split" [03:04] kcman: cat [03:05] blackopus - this dvd is working [03:05] cool! [03:05] kavon, edit the /etc/rc.local file .. put your command in before the last exit [03:05] blackopus - no wait [03:05] jrib what is cat? [03:05] kcman: a command. Short for "concatenate" [03:05] kavon, if you find even that doesn't work. you can log the command. { /home/teamspeak/teamspeak start; echo $? >&2 } 2> /tmp/teamspeak.log [03:06] help please ... i just installed ubuntu on a secondary drive on my pc, made sure it installed the boot manager...when the install finished, the computer doesnt want to boot any more.... [03:06] blackopus - my protection scan softs say that only the actual movie is protected, the menus aren't on this one [03:06] blackopus - it stops when i try to play the movie [03:06] hi [03:06] i cant boot back into windows, in fact i cant even load the bios-based boot loader to select drive to boot from [03:06] blackopus - disregard that! [03:06] are there plants to support ejecting CD in ubuntu? [03:06] Hello ppl, is there a way to install the ati radeon 7200 manually for Ubuntu???? [03:06] jrib not that i am not great full for the help but is there an gui app that i can use? [03:06] ok [03:06] Hi quick question, when Ubuntu locks up and I cant ctrl-alt-backspace, I hit Alt-F2 and I'm taken to a second terminal black screen, what command can I type to kill all processes and reset my gnome session? [03:06] blackopus - it got stuck, but it's working now! [03:06] I know CDs are quite novel tech but still [03:06] WOOHOO!!!!! [03:06] kcman: I don't know [03:06] * chrisdown tries putting the other disc back in [03:06] jedimind, I had that problem today. Fixed it with the grub disk [03:06] jrib thanks [03:07] jedimind, do you have that? [03:07] Wow this place is busy. [03:07] QickSilver_ - it always is [03:07] unop: so can i just do: sh ~/teamspeak/teamspeak start instead of cd and then ./ ? [03:07] yeah i do ... though i turned off the computer for a few minutes out of frustration, its now bootin just fine ... [03:07] I can't install Ubuntu, I just downloaded it 3 times and burned 6 discs to try. [03:07] though i tried like a dozen+ times [03:07] unop: just thought of that [03:07] Can someone tell me how to get my Ipod Touch 8 GiB to work in Ubuntu 8.04 because with the latest banshee, gtkpod, and ipod-covenience, songs don't start playing in Amarok or Banshee. Amarok kinda freezes when I generate playlists. [03:08] blackopus - you are a king. putting another dvd in and then putting it back in has fixed the problem. [03:08] jedimind, so you're cool? [03:08] blackopus - thanks so much! :) [03:08] I checked the integrity of the files and two of the isos I downloaded had bad integrity and the last one didn't work at all. [03:08] kavon, the meaning of ~ changes in /etc/rc.local .. you have to be expliticit about the location of the script [03:08] AaronMT: u just do f1 until f12..it will return to the normal windows [03:08] That doesnt work for me [03:08] unop: so, sh /home/kavon/teamspeak/teamspeak start [03:08] I'm looking for a commadn to kill everything and reset the session [03:08] kavon, and you don't need to use sh like that if the script is set executable [03:08] chrisdown: no problem at all. I am glad to be of excellent service. :-) [03:09] QickSilver_ - sounds like you are using low quality disks [03:09] o [03:09] kavon, just this. /home/kavon/teamspeak/teamspeak start [03:09] I run feisty but I need a package in hardy. Options? [03:09] First I only had sound from firefox and other programs did not, got libflashsupport and now I have no sound except for system sounds. (I.e. little conga drums at sign in) can someone help me? [03:09] AaronMT sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart? [03:09] blackopus - nice to have people like you around to help, this irc channel certainly beats M$ tech [03:09] !prevu > piecesandbits [03:09] piecesandbits, please see my private message [03:09] How long should it take to boot Ubuntu???? [03:09] Every disc stops at 44% install and report the same file as the problem though. [03:09] BiNaRyCoDe - that depends on what your setup is [03:09] BiNaRyCoDe, not too long...maybe 1 minute or so [03:10] Except one since it doesn't get past the boot menu [03:10] Well mine is taking 5 to 10 minutes [03:10] BiNaRyCoDe - I run a new(ish) pc and i boot in about 30 seconds, older ones i'd say max 2 mins [03:10] how to make task like disc cleanup? deleting files that are not needed? [03:10] unless you have less than 512 megs of ram [03:10] BiNaRyCoDe, that's rather long [03:10] !cron > salaz [03:10] salaz, please see my private message [03:10] Well when booting my loading hardware drivers fails [03:10] how do i stop an external display (VGA-out) from going blank after a period of idle time - the power options are set to never blank the screen while on a/c power - (ubuntu 8.04, intel integrated graphics, dell xps m1330) [03:10] does /etc/network/interfaces support static and manual entries? [03:10] Hika42: have you gotten songs on your ipod at all? [03:11] unop: i noe bout the crontab..but is there any utilities? [03:11] tlmiller, if you mean static addresses .. yes [03:11] blackopus - okay, i'll be leaving now to watch my dvd. thanks a lot for the help! [03:11] outbriber: yes [03:11] salaz: sudo apt-get autoremove [03:11] Why would "loading hardware drivers fail? [03:11] how do I control what 'route' gets set when the interface comes up? [03:11] !info gcrontab | salaz [03:11] salaz: gcrontab (source: gcrontab): GTK bases crontab editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.0-3.1build1 (hardy), package size 82 kB, installed size 408 kB [03:11] unop: how bout disk fragmentation? [03:11] AaronMT: ok [03:12] There is no disk defragmentation with ext3 file table [03:12] salaz; ext3 does not fragment. [03:12] so when you try to play the songs on your ipod on your computer, Amarok freezes? [03:12] tlmiller, you can use a post-up command in the interfaces file. see man 5 interfaces [03:12] OK [03:12] thanx [03:12] outbriber: yes [03:12] i remember the days microsoft claimed ntfs didn't need defraggin lol [03:12] ext fragments, just not to the degree other fs's do [03:12] AaronMT, that's not true [03:13] not the same as defined by NTFS [03:13] unop, I have a route showing up now, but it's wrong for my network... Will a post-up command still be required? [03:13] Hika42: Hmm. Since it would be playing the songs over wifi (the only way as of yet with the iPod Touch), chances are it is just really slow. [03:13] salaz, you don't have to worry about defragging your volumes .. most linux filesystems are quite resistant to fragmentation. [03:13] Hika42: When I load songs onto mine, whatever program freezes for a while while it loads, it does everything very slowly over wifi [03:13] outbriber: so, what do you suggest? because these songs don't play at all [03:14] indeed, i'm living in the last 2gig of space i have, and everything still runs smoothly. even when i fill it completely. [03:14] tlmiller, well, if you keep finding that a wrong route gets assigned, yes [03:14] Could anyone help me? [03:14] Hika42: Can you copy them back from the ipod onto the computer? That would make them play faster. [03:15] Hika42: Streaming the songs from the ipod over wifi (for some reason the ipod's wifi is pretty slow) is always going to be pretty slow. [03:15] outbriber: but, they have very awkward names [03:15] anyone familiar with memtest? [03:16] QickSilver_, does your latest downloaded ISO pass the integrity check ? [03:16] !anyone | greenman [03:16] greenman: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [03:16] What is the equivalent of gconf-editor in KDE 3.5 [03:16] bofh80, None of the ones I've downloaded do, it looks like the same file. [03:17] QickSilver_, are you downloading the ISO from the same mirror each time? [03:17] moes: system-settings [03:17] unop: sorry. I'm just wondering how many tests it does. It seems to be restarting... [03:17] what would be the easiest way to migrate all my interface settings to another computer? my theme, arrangemenet of stuff, etc [03:17] Hika42: making them hard to copy to the computer or you just don't want them on the computer? [03:17] greenman, i believe it continues indefinitely [03:17] bofh80, No, the first two are from mirrors, the third from the ubuntu release website. [03:17] I'm having a problem with sound. Firefox (flash animations/youtube and so forth) have sound, but nothing else except the system does. o_0 [03:17] jedimind, copy your home directory over [03:17] Circs, you got the right codecs? [03:18] bofh80, The third ISO just stopped at 44% again. [03:18] QickSilver_, it might be worth giving the Alternate CD a go? [03:18] outbriber: i could, but i prefer to use the ipod-touch. But, if this is the only way it will suffice. [03:18] bofh80, I'll try it. [03:18] unop: what parts of it are crucial, i dont want the whole home folder [03:18] why dont i have a .Trash directory? [03:18] bofh: are you the real Bastard Operator From Hell? :-) [03:18] zelrikiando: I believe so it gave me two options when i first tried to paly a video and I downloaded both of them. [03:19] blackopus - you still there? [03:19] Yes [03:19] I am getting no sound. [03:19] jedimind, well ok. ~/.gnome* ~/.gtk* ~/.gconf* and perhaps also ~/.config* [03:19] for some reason i can only hear sounds on apps i run through wine [03:19] zelrikiando: Additionally I have video but no sound to go with it. [03:19] ok cool, thank you [03:19] Hika42: It should work eventually, it will probably 'skip' as it loads the next bit. You said it freezes when you generate a playlist, does it freeze trying to play a single song? [03:19] Circs: known issue with pulseaudio https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio [03:19] unop: wow, really? Well, I just found the documentation and see that it has 9 tests and is almost done with 7 [03:20] bofh80, Any reason why the alternate is 5 MB more in size? o.O [03:20] outbriber: I'm trying to copy the music over from a second partition now, but its erroring up as I'm copying it. Any idea why? [03:20] hmm.. I guess I'll see how fast 8 goes. It doesn't do 9. I'd like to leave soon. [03:20] blackopus - just testing ALSA actually, didn't test that [03:20] If my memory is good `and it looks like it is`, then what else could be the cause of the kernel panics? [03:20] Hika42: What is the error? [03:20] chrisdown: was going to ask if using esd or alsa [03:20] is there any way for me to use a usb wireless card in linux, i cant load the drivers, cause there only in windows, i am really new to linux, so thanks for any help [03:21] ow do i see another ubuntu computer on the network? when i go into network all i see is 'windows network' [03:21] outbriber: permission to read. Duh, that explains it. now how to fix that. [03:21] bigsniperboy: what wireless device? [03:21] QickSilver_, i have no idea :) [03:21] firefox3/ubuntu 8.04 - flash videos (youtube) play for 2 seconds then freeze..all of them..and no audio..why?! [03:21] outbriber: i can play the music though [03:21] mstef, [03:21] Hi at all [03:21] bofh80, Does it come with the software pre-installed? [03:21] blackopus - alsa beeps at me when i test it in the settings, but nothing is coming out of VLC [03:21] bofh80, yes? [03:21] mstef: did you install flash 10? [03:21] mstef, go to www.adobe.com and down the tar.gz file they offer you for flash [03:21] bofh80, Like firefox and gaim? [03:22] its an off brand, model number u10h010 [03:22] figured the repository would suffice [03:22] Hika42: So you can play the music from the ipod now? [03:22] QickSilver_, the final installation should come out the same. [03:22] is there any way to find out what type of hard drive you have with Ubuntu? [03:22] bigsniperboy: if the device is pluggedin, open a terminal and type "lsusb" no quotes, hit enter, and see if the device's chipset is found [03:22] bofh80, Ok, I'd try it earlier but I was worried about that. [03:22] chrisdown: try typing esd in the terminal [03:22] k [03:22] ok one sec, thanks [03:23] mstef, flash packages in ubuntu do not appear to work properly. the install from adobe takes 4 seconds to download. 3 seconds to install [03:23] I need to know if my harddrives SATA but I dont wanna open up my laptop [03:23] Circs, so what audio can you hear and what can you not? [03:23] bofh80, I'm using my old computer for ubuntu so I can play games on windows and still have linux. [03:23] outbriber: no i can play the music over from my second partition, but i would still like it copied over into banshee or amarok [03:23] bofh80, ok thanks [03:23] i have one problem, when go back from block screen (and type my password) the resolution of screen is wrong, and i must re set anytime at 1440x900 [03:23] * IndyGunFreak agrees w/ bofh80 just download flash from adobe.come.. and you're done [03:23] Hika42: Is the second partition on your hdd or is the second partition the ipod? [03:24] outbriber: hdd [03:24] bofh80 Oh, does ubuntu have any good telnet clients? [03:24] blackopus - nope, nothing. [03:24] kbrosnan: That's the exact opposite of my issue, thanks thou [03:24] is esound server or alsa installed on your machine? [03:24] Ubuntu failed to start my xserver could someone help?? [03:24] it came up with 2 things, ambit microsystems, and my mouse [03:24] QickSilver_, it has telnet, and shh, etc. do you mean a gui? what do you want telnet for? [03:24] QuickSilver_: Definition of good? [03:25] if by 'installed' you mean 'i can select them from the settings' then yes [03:25] how do i stop an external display (VGA-out) from going blank after a period of idle time - the power options are set to never blank the screen while on a/c power - (ubuntu 8.04, intel integrated graphics, dell xps m1330) [03:25] blackopus - alsa beeps when i test it [03:25] it came up with 2 things, ambit microsystems, and my mouse [03:25] zelrikiando: I can hear stuff like the littl conga drums at the sign in screen and youtube videos, but not my music of mpeg/wmvs [03:25] blackopus - esound server isn't installed [03:25] Hika42: I don't know all that much about hdd partitions, so I'm not sure how to get music from there to amarok on your first partition [03:25] bofh80 Even though I like gaming in graphic intense games, I still do roleplay in MUDs so I need one that I won't lose my text in heavy RP [03:26] hi [03:26] QickSilver_, lol, what did you use in windows? [03:26] the buttons on my fire fox dont work, (back,foward) how do i fix them? [03:26] bigsniperboy: well, never heard of that one... how exactly is that other device identified? [03:26] i have one problem, when go back from block screen (and type my password) the resolution of screen is wrong, and i must re set anytime at 1440x900 [03:26] bofh80 mushclient [03:26] help me for VDR pls [03:26] chrisdown: ok, for Ubuntu worked right out of the box...........thinking [03:26] outbriber: okay, thanks for your help anyways i'll play around with it somemore [03:26] QickSilver_; tinyfuge may be what you're looking for.

[03:53] emma: what d o you wanna do [03:53] still don't think that is the problem but is there a way to revert back to what it was originally [03:53] emma: put ubuntu on a usb stick ? [03:53] ubuntu, if after trying the repos' for flash it does not work. you can download it from adobe. the tar.gz yes. takes less than a minute. Personally i've never seen the flash packages in ubuntu 8.04 work from a fresh install [03:53] emma: it isnt hard [03:53] ohh how to run a c program? [03:53] !compile | amanulla [03:53] amanulla: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [03:53] amanulla: you need to comile it 1st [03:53] amanulla, ie .net? [03:53] even though i reinstalled alsa and set the sound setting to alsa in system > preferences alsamixer still has pulse audio as default [03:54] amanulla, did you compile it? [03:54] amanulla: with gcc [03:54] noo [03:54] then you cant run it [03:54] how to compile [03:54] amanulla, no to what [03:54] gah [03:54] This afternoon I came into posession of an old computer. A dell optiplex GX1 Pentium III, with 512 RAM and 75 GB hdd. [03:54] amanulla, try g++ .C [03:54] i dont know how t o compile [03:54] emma, it may not allow for booting from usb [03:54] ok [03:54] I got it for very little, becaues I thought it might be fun to experiment with linux on it. It has an optical drive but no writer. [03:54] in terminal? [03:55] amanulla, you need to read the links we have given you [03:55] it's probably described in the "compile" factoid. [03:55] zelrikriando: Any thoughts? I feel like my brain is melting a bit [03:55] amanulla, what is this 'program' you are trying to compile? You have a lot of basics to learn.. [03:55] ok [03:55] amanulla: with make [03:55] amanulla, of course...in the right directory also [03:55] anyone got any ideas? [03:55] hey, i did "apt-get install kde" and decided i wanted to get rid of it. if I do "apt-get remove kde" will i still have all of these millions of stupid programs kde installed? [03:55] Circs, I am sorry, my brain is a bit slow today...try to ask somebody else :) [03:55] !puregnome | clarity_ [03:55] clarity_: If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome » [03:56] emma, sorry if i come off stupid here i might have missed something. if you have a burner in your current pc, burn the ISO to a CD. pop it into the olde machine and boot off it. [03:56] how to ı install VDR [03:56] Circs, I am not sure where the issue is...you'd better find somebody more skilled than me [03:56] zelrikriando: Hey not a problem, I appreciate you trying [03:56] amanulla: do you have a MAKE file [03:56] thanks, also. when i installed kde, wireless and everything else didn't really work right [03:56] is there a way to fix it? [03:56] amanulla: you can do it on the command line without [03:56] richiefrich, dont scare him/her [03:56] zelrikriando: scare? [03:56] bofh80: yes of course I can do that. but then I have to crawl under my desk and put the monitor back on my actual desktop pc. [03:56] zelrikriando: i answered a question [03:57] What i need is a KVM switch. [03:57] zelrikriando: pleas mind your own buisness [03:57] please* [03:57] richiefrich, sorry :) [03:57] richiefrich, please be civil [03:57] zelrikriando: sheesh [03:57] What is the best way to get usenet postings to go to my gmail? [03:57] clarity_: your wireless worked on gnome but not on kde? [03:57] I still think a makefile is one step above [03:58] emma, 2 port kvm switches are cheap and cheerful these days [03:58] amanulla: gcc -c -Wall -D_GNU_SOURCE hello.c -o hello.o [03:58] amanulla: as an example [03:58] zelrikriando: Do you know what the two codecs ubuntu uses for mpeg/wmv playback? Maybe I could remove and reinstall them if I had paid more attention... :) [03:59] Circs, I am not sure...one thought, do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed? [03:59] zelrikriando: Maybe? How would I find out? [03:59] clarity_: i'm using knetworkmanager and it works like a charm [03:59] Linux reeewls [03:59] windows dreeeewls [04:00] lulz [04:00] emma, you could mount the iso using daemon tools and install it using Wubi ? it's on the autorun menu [04:00] Can anybody here help chrisdown? I am not sure what else to do. [04:00] hrm, that tutorial doesn't have everything [04:00] blackopus - i'm posting on tech [04:00] ok i have a 500mhz intel core prossor with 256mb of ram and 20gigs of ram should i install ubuntu or should i just stay with xp? [04:00] Ok [04:00] Circs, in synaptic package manager...search for ubuntu-restricted-extras [04:00] I would rather use virtualbox and install ubuntu inside that.. then use wubi.. :) but thats just me. [04:00] blackopus - the 5th post in the thread you gave me gives me a very verbose output [04:01] nate__: 20Gigas of RAM? [04:01] blackopus: what's the problem? [04:01] wait nm [04:01] blackopus - and a very different output... but the same results [04:01] sorry hard drive [04:01] nate__, depends on what you want to do with it.. Im suprised Xp even runs well on that thing. [04:01] nate__: try Xubuntu [04:01] whats the differents [04:01] nate__: it should work, but you're probably better off with xubuntu anyway [04:01] leo_away: do you want me to explain what the problem is? [04:01] evening [04:01] zelrikriando: Nope but let's throw it on there and see what happen eh? [04:02] chrisdown: yeah, maybe I can help you [04:02] Circs, what nope? [04:02] nate_: Xubuntu is made for slow school computers, so it is less memory intensive. [04:02] is there a way to manually add a usb capture device to system>>settings>>sound>>sound capture? [04:02] excuse me: I'm having an awful time trying to get my wireless broadcom BCM4311 to connect [04:02] Hello I am attempting to install java following this guide: http://java.com/en/download/help/5000010500.xml#rpm [04:02] zelrikriando: I don't have that package, but I'm tossing it on there as we speak to see what happens [04:02] nate__: xubunu uses Xfce instead of Gnome which is lighter. If you want to go extra light, you can go with Vectorlinux. Your PC will fly on that distro [04:02] leo_away: blackopus helped me get protected dvds to run on VLC, but there is no sound. i am currently getting output, but it doesn't seem to mention sound problems. [04:02] Circs, then install that package [04:02] well i got the live going but its really slow compared to xp that was installed im hoping that it will speed up when installed on the harddrive but would it make a big difference [04:02] Circs, and see what happens [04:03] Smithery: are you using ndiswrapper? i'm not and i connect to my network without a problem [04:03] I am having trouble as when i type this command: chmod a+x jre-6u-linux-i586-rpm.bin into terminal it says no such file or directory [04:03] leo_away: i am about to post on the forums, i'll link you when it's up. [04:03] chrisdown: do you get sound with other videos? [04:03] nate_: ignore my answer, carandraug gave a better description than mine :P [04:03] richiefrich: thanks for the sites. 1 op was to update driver (already current), 2 op was to up watt on pwr supply. [04:03] leo_away: yes, i don't get anything on VLC though [04:03] richiefrich: sound still sratchy... think need to up pwr supply? [04:03] leo_away: youtube is fine, for example. [04:03] i have the found for my question, when we put it at hibernate, it is somehow not response and it effect the stream output for totem player..but now its ok [04:04] which raid is best suited for 1x80G and 2X120G drives if data security is not important but max disk space is? [04:04] nate__: it's always slower when runnig from the LiveCD. But I still think xubuntu is more appropriated to your machine [04:04] !raid | Bhaal [04:04] Bhaal: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [04:04] woops [04:04] chrisdown: what about other players? something like totem, do you get sound with totem and other videos? [04:04] gnubbie: ? [04:04] leo_away: totem fails completely [04:04] Bhavesh, ^ read what ubottu said about the links above [04:04] leo_away: gets stuck at 0:00 [04:04] is there a way to manually add a usb capture device to system>>settings>>sound>>sound capture? [04:05] chrisdown: are you using pulseaudio? [04:05] how can i know weather c compiler is installed in my computer or not? [04:05] how do i stop an external display (VGA-out) from blanking after being idle? the power options are set to never blank the screen. (ubuntu 8.04, intel integrated graphics) [04:05] Bhavesh, You may want to ask yoruself.. 'do i really need a HUGE partition of 120+120+80' gb? I perfer to just not raid things that way unless i need space for HUGE files. [04:05] amanulla: gcc [04:05] quaizar, have you checked the wiki or the forums for you device... or done a quick google ? [04:05] leo_away: not to my knowledge [04:05] amanulla: if you have the package build-essential installed, it will be, or you can check if gcc is installed [04:05] where can i find gcc if installed? [04:05] Dr_willis i am at a point where i just want a central storage to share among all pc, and if i lose information on it, so be it! [04:06] Paddy_EIRE: oh yes, about 14+ hours of troubleshooting on my end before i came here [04:06] leo_away, removing ndiswrapper disallows me from even picking up the wifi connections it seems [04:06] chrisdown: are you using hardy heron? did [04:06] amanulla: jus type gcc in the console [04:06] richiefrich: nvidia driver is already current, sound still scratchy. other suggestion in forums was to get new pwr supply with more watt. is there a 3rd option? [04:06] chrisdown: did you ever change it to anything else than pulseaudio? [04:06] leo_away: 8.04, yeah. === fernando is now known as Guest63982 [04:06] quaizar, really... ? hmm.. whats the name of the device? [04:06] Paddy_EIRE: neither of my mics will work, plug in nor usb device, using oss 4.1 for x-fi [04:06] Bhavesh, check out the software raid/lvm guide then i guess.. good luck.. and backup stuff you want to keep.. you will need backups [04:06] hi [04:06] Paddy_EIRE: all other sound working fine [04:06] leo_away: it was on 'auto', so i tried some others [04:06] Smithery: because you need to get the firmware and install new drivers [04:06] Anybody know what packages are needed to run C# in ubuntu? [04:06] this chat is of linux os? [04:06] gnubbie: nope not that i can find [04:06] Bhavesh, you may want to raid the 2 identical drives for data.. and use the smaller as a boot/os drive [04:06] amanulla@amanulla-laptop:~$ gcc [04:06] gcc: no input files [04:06] gnubbie: if it works just wait [04:06] Guest63982, ubuntu yes [04:07] leo_away: it's on ALSA [04:07] Dr_willis well in that case the question is can you create stripe set with 3 drives of different size? [04:07] gnubbie: get a cheapo sound card [04:07] salaz:i got this amanulla@amanulla-laptop:~$ gcc [04:07] gcc: no input files [04:07] leo_away: here is the thread with outputs http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5691498#post5691498 [04:07] Dr_willis i already have 40G drive for boot/os so the 3 drives are strictly to be used for storage [04:07] what do i have to do for ubuntu to see the camera i just pluged in to usb? [04:07] amanulla: put the files u want to compile [04:07] Smithery: lspci | grep wlan [04:07] gnubbie: 30$ for a creative labs [04:07] how? [04:07] Smithery: tell me what that line says [04:07] Bhavesh, theres hardware raid with limits, then software raid with different limits.. I dont reaally use raid much any more.. since 500gb hds are $90 :) [04:07] Paddy_EIRE: and since alsa doesn't see my card due to oss 4.1 instructions i can't do the asoundconf set-default-card [04:07] Hello I'm attempting to install java and I am having trouble, I am following this guide [04:07] http://java.com/en/download/help/5000010500.xml#rpm [04:07] Paddy_EIRE: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=902528 created a post as well [04:08] leo_away, its blank [04:08] Dr_willis point well taken :) at the moment i am trying to be cheap use what i have :) [04:08] quaizar, perform an "lspci" and a "lsusb" in a terminal then use pastebin to show me the output... ensure you have all the devices plugged in. [04:08] amanulla: i showed you how [04:08] Paddy_EIRE: outputs on that link [04:08] gcc -c -Wall -D_GNU_SOURCE hello.c -o hello.o [04:08] Smithery: lspci | grep Broadcom [04:08] cool [04:08] amanulla: ^^ [04:08] Bhavesh, i have gone from stacks of floppies.. to stacks of cd/dvd/ to stacks of external hds to a small room with old fileservers.. :) cleaning them out now [04:08] amanulla: example gcc test.c [04:08] amanulla: you need [04:08] when I get to the point where you type this" chmod a+x jre-6u-linux-i586-rpm.bin " it says no such file or directory [04:08] leo_away, 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01) [04:08] amanulla: GCC and binutils [04:09] Chad, you are using the right name? not ? [04:09] rm rf [04:09] help me [04:09] Chad, use the 'tab' key to complete the name properly [04:09] one question [04:09] Dr_willis this is my similar effort, i have stacks of hdd sitting around that i am not using.. i am setting up a raid with mirror on same server for important data, and striped set for something i don't care much about [04:09] salaz, what is that [04:09] quaizar, give me a moment so as to see if anything rings a bell... [04:09] salaz, dont type that here [04:09] !ask | Guest63982 [04:09] Guest63982: 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. :-) [04:09] Smithery: see if this works for you http://leorockway.wordpress.com/2008/04/25/0c000-network-controller-broadcom-corporation-bcm94311mcg-wlan-mini-pci-rev-01-for-hardy-heron/ [04:09] Paddy_EIRE: help greatly appreciated take your time [04:09] bazhang: okok [04:09] Dr_willis: I coppied the command straight from the guide [04:10] Chad: so [04:10] Chad: it is wrong [04:10] Smithery: be careful with the quotation marks on wordpress... wordpress uses some weird quotation marks, so if you copy paste the commands remember to change the quotation marks to regular ones [04:10] Chad, it expexts you to read and THINK... it says and it expects you to use the proper version # [04:10] what do i have to do for ubuntu to see the camera i just pluged in to usb? [04:10] leo_away, I have removed ndiswrapper, should I have it installed before I do this? [04:10] I will fix the quotes [04:10] Dr_ woops i never noticed [04:10] leo_away: any ideas on the outputs i linked you to? [04:10] Smithery: no, this method doesn't use ndiswrapper at all [04:10] Chad, Why do you need to mess with the java .bin files anyway? [04:10] richiefrich: cool, thanks for the input. off to the store again! [04:11] lol [04:11] chrisdown: can you pastebin the output for a non-dvd video? something like ogg? [04:11] ok [04:11] how to hack into this ubuntu irc server???hahahahha [04:11] Chad, install from repos; rpm stay away from [04:11] Chad: anything in <> or FOO and BAR [04:11] Chad, all the java stuff should be in the repos and thats a .rpm.bin - all it does will decompress to a .rpm which you DONT want. [04:11] salaz, please stop [04:11] leo_away: i'll find something [04:11] Chad: means you need CHANGE It [04:11] Chad: use alien [04:11] cjones: It depends on your camera. Can you mount it as a drive? [04:11] bazhang: okok [04:11] quaizar, hmm... tis a puzzler.. I think I will have another look and if nothing is apparent I'll advise you to keep trying and also keep the forum post active. [04:11] salaz, no need for alien here [04:11] silly java rpm.bin all the bin does is make you say YES to the EULA then makes the .rpm if i rember right. [04:11] quaizar, as I'm sure you've been doing anyway :P [04:12] bazhang: if he wnat to use for converting the rpm package [04:12] salaz, no. not for java [04:12] bazhang: owh ok..i didnt read it [04:12] Paddy_EIRE: thanks, let me add that in vent through wine i get some distorted high pitch noise through the sound card and the usb is an option but the mic overrides it [04:12] who wants to install java? why not use the repos? [04:12] salaz, please dont give advice if you are not paying attention. [04:13] Paddy_EIRE: in wine config it also shows the usb and the sound card, odd that sound prefrences does not [04:13] zelrikriando: Ok it finished finally, should I reboot or anything? [04:13] bazhang: its not an advice,,jus suggestion [04:13] quaizar, I hate OSS sound dont really use it much myself [04:13] leo_away, I've fixed the (4) quotations and it has stalled here /b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" wl_apsta.o [04:13] quaizar, I guess I have been lucky [04:13] Paddy_EIRE: well if i didn't have to i wouldnt be [04:13] quaizar, yes that is very odd [04:13] Paddy_EIRE: but thats creative x-fi for you [04:14] Smithery: sudo ../../b43-fwcutter-011/b43-fwcutter -w “$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR” wl_apsta.o that's the command [04:14] quaizar, although its that bloody X-Fi card also [04:14] leo_away: I get no output. [04:14] quaizar, lol [04:14] Paddy_EIRE: id be happy either way getting the webcam mic or the sc mic to work [04:14] Smithery: er... change the quotation marks there too [04:14] Hi guys, I have an issue, i'm using a IBM Lenova ThinkPad T20 and ubuntu doesn't detect the video card adapter in it [04:14] quaizar, have you been checking on linuxforums also [04:14] leo_away, single ' or double " ? [04:15] Circs, I dont think you need to reboot [04:15] Smithery: " [04:15] Circs, maybe log out and in again [04:15] quaizar, I guess I am scrapping the barrel here for you :) [04:15] zelrikriando: K, will brb [04:15] chrisdown: does it seem like it is playing? does the lil thing moves and the seconds go up? [04:15] can any one remotely login into my system? [04:15] it plays just fine [04:15] i see it fine [04:15] amanulla: can we? [04:15] amanulla, not a good idea [04:15] no audio though [04:15] leo_away: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41735/ [04:15] Paddy_EIRE: I have checked many, if you have a specific link i'd def check it out, but i also posted on 4front but those boards are not nearly as active [04:15] how do i stop an external display (VGA-out) from blanking after being idle? the power options are set to never blank the screen. (ubuntu 8.04, intel integrated graphics) [04:15] amanulla: someone can if you open ssh and give access [04:16] amanulla: and ip .. well ip isnt needed unless you have a cloak [04:16] leo_away: i get no audio on the ogg either, but it plays fine otherwise. perhaps it's just a soundless video [04:16] halo [04:16] how to open gss [04:16] Paddy_EIRE: i did see something about snd_usb_audio being in blacklist which I erased but nothing happened [04:16] how can I fix my display adapter issue, ubuntu doesn't reconize it [04:16] chrisdown: go to jamendo.com and just get any ogg song [04:16] This is frustrating, I've pretty much ascertained that it's the wireless card causing the panics, but only when I actually connect to a router. I can't find anywhere to fix this... [04:16] Paddy_EIRE: don't know if that is a starting point or not for the mic [04:16] what's the best way to resize an ext3 partition (parted can't do it) ? [04:16] chrisdown: then try playing it on vlc [04:16] leo_away: what about trying mp3? [04:16] quaizar, hmm... I have had to actually comment out that line a few times [04:17] leo_away: i have a good few of those lying around anyway [04:17] chrisdown: yeah, same thing [04:17] i need some one to login remotely to get my problem solved in runnibg a c program [04:17] Paddy_EIRE: im thinking getting that working is more realistic than plug in mic because i have seen nothing about anyone getting that to work [04:17] jrr: parted can. You just need to have the partition unmounted, so you probably need a liveCD === Taek-Laptop is now known as Taek [04:17] quaizar, odd.. perhaps a fresh install of your sound hardware [04:17] mstef, checked your screen savers incase set to blank screen? [04:17] is there any one? [04:17] chrisdown: but you will have to install codecs or smth... i believe [04:17] jrr: And if you're using a liveCD, might as well use gparted, since the GUI is a lot easier [04:17] ok what's best way to use 2x80gb and 2x120G drive? :) assuming that the 80g drive i am testing is good :) [04:17] Paddy_EIRE: you mean take it out and put it back in? [04:17] quaizar, you'd almost need a "testing" environment [04:17] lol [04:17] Flannel: it complains about an unsupported ext3 feature, and somebody in #parted said the ext3 support is not up to date [04:17] Anyone know how to get Intrepid? [04:18] bazhang: not a good idea for what? [04:18] Bhavesh: If you want 1x400GB to work with, you can use LVM to tie them all together. [04:18] quaizar, nope [04:18] leo_away: already got codecs [04:18] quaizar, the driver [04:18] Bhavesh, i would just set them up as 3 different samba shares. and let them stay seperate [04:18] chrisdown: ok, yeah, try an mp3 [04:18] bofh80, im an idiot - thank you [04:18] leo_away: it plays, but no sound - there is output [04:18] jrr: Ah, well, they'd know more than I would [04:18] leo_away, Worked this time. reboot? [04:18] amanulla, dont offer your computer to complete strangers [04:18] Flannel: thanks anyway =] [04:18] ok [04:18] Smithery: yup... that should do it [04:18] mstef, we've all been there before :) [04:18] can u do it for me [04:18] anyone have problems with wireless cards causing kernel panic upon connection? [04:18] chrisdown: pastebin it [04:18] bazhang: [04:18] Taek-Laptop: Could you clarify what you mean by Ubuntu not finding your adapter? Do you get a desktop when you boot, or does it just drop you to a command-prompt? [04:18] can u? [04:18] amanulla, read the links for compiling, dont expect to learn it here. [04:18] thank you! [04:18] leo_away: even better, i'll post it in the thread for others [04:19] chrisdown: yup, def better [04:19] Dr_willis i am trying to set it up so i don't have to worry about managing the disk space, copying files from one to the other [04:19] iI get the desktop, but it's not accelerated [04:19] amanulla: if your learning C then learn it [04:19] amanulla: why have someone do it for you [04:19] When learning C - it will take some reading... and lots of reading. [04:19] heh [04:19] i m getting an message like this while doing so [04:19] sup all [04:19] amanulla, read the links first please [04:19] Bhavesh, i doubt if it will matter much. :) what ya goign to do when ya fill up all 400 then? [04:19] OK, do you know what brand of adapter you have in the laptop? I know IBM / Lenovo use either ATI, nVidia, or Intel. [04:20] amanulla: what error [04:20] Taek: Are you sure your video card is supported by the current binary drivers? (theres... a list around somewhere) [04:20] Dr_willis and it will be saving large files on it.. i can't mention what here :) [04:20] Let me get the info [04:20] Can anyone help with a palm sync?

I would just like a cheap way to listen to music [04:23] chrisdown: I have no idea what those are... i was expecting something like "can't open /dev/seq" or "ALSA error blah blah blah" [04:23] !bot [04:23] Hi!

[04:24] illmortal - it will flood soulja-boy.net with ping requests. DO IT [04:24] illmortal, it will teach you to not type in commands 'people tell you to run' for starters [04:24] nah I'm not running that lol [04:25] alistair: could you please be more specific? [04:25] dr_willis - i'll run that if he doesn't, lawl. [04:25] lol chrisdown. [04:25] illmortal: heh [04:25] !ot [04:25] well this 80G drive is going through it' 10th iteration of check for errors and it has gone further then before without finding any [04:25] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [04:25] i dislike soulja boy wwww [04:25] http://taek.pastebin.com/m34a3643 [04:25] take chat elsewhere please [04:25] illmortal: Please take it elsewhere. [04:25] @ grdnwsl [04:25] illmortal - idle chat elsewhere please [04:25] how's this 2 striped set, 2x80 and 2x120 and use LVM on top? [04:25] carandraug, Hi I go to home and can see the other user account I set up. I want to modify their .thunderbird contents but it says I dont have permission [04:25] grdnwsl -> http://taek.pastebin.com/m34a3643 [04:26] leo_away - gonna poke around in vlc [04:26] How do I switch which version of JRE my computer is using if I have multiple installed? [04:26] chrisdown: settings > preferences > audio > output modules [04:26] this is my first time at running linux as a desktop so scuse my slowness [04:26] carandraug, I thought since I log in as admin that would give me permission? [04:26] chrisdown: change those and see if any one of them works [04:26] zelrikriando: Well I'm going to say this is a lost cause ATM. How about this, i can BUY a new soundcard :) Question is what should i get to just play some freaking music [04:26] Theaxiom, i recall that !java factoid giving the proper commands to do that. [04:26] !java [04:26] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [04:26] alistair: what do you mean admin? You're logged in as root? [04:27] chrisdown: ALSA, OSS, pulseaudio... w/e [04:27] carandraug, yep [04:27] Thanks Dr_willis [04:27] Taek: It looks like you're running an old laptop. S3 cards don't support desktop effects, unfortunately. [04:27] leo_away : try it with the ogg video or the mp3? [04:27] Bhavesh, i may be confused but i thought the point of lvm was sort of to make it where you dident have to do a hardware raid. [04:27] chrisdown: yeah, any media file with sound [04:27] grdnwsl what about some kind of acceleration? [04:27] Bhavesh, a hardware raid makes all the disks show up as 1 disk, (i thought) [04:27] perhaps openGL ? [04:27] Circs, it is likely a software issue... [04:27] chrisdown: if that doesn't work then I have no idea... maybe try alsamixer and check that the sound is not mute and that the volume is all the way up [04:27] Circs, dont give up...stick aroung...go on forums [04:28] carandraug, actually, probably not I will have to check I log in as my own name but I set everything up so assumed I was admin. [04:28] around even [04:28] !lvm [04:28] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO [04:28] zelrikriando: Yeah probably, but maybe there is a way around it by using a differnet sound card? [04:28] leo_away: shouldn't the number of output channels be >0? [04:28] Dr_willis i have read a good how to that explains how you can setup RAID and use LVM on top to manage the raid so you can slice it or combine raid into larger volume [04:28] Circs, no I dont think that's the case [04:28] alistair: you mean your user is root? If so, you SHOULD be able to do whatever you please. Is /home mounted as read-only? [04:28] Circs: I don't know what your problem is, but if you can't find a solution consider filing a bug in launchpad [04:28] Bhavesh, err... so you are merging the disks.. to just repartion them back into smaller disks? [04:28] omg i just pressed a key and my window frames are gone! [04:29] Dr_willis or something :) i forget the exact advantage [04:29] chrisdown: beats me [04:29] http://www.gagme.com/greg/linux/raid-lvm.php [04:29] chrisdown: but i would say so [04:29] carandraug, no you are right I am logged in as Alistair, but not as root. Thanks kindly. [04:29] grdnwsl i've seen people talking about OpenGL accelerations in this older laptops [04:29] zelrikriando: Oh. I think I'm going to go stab myself a bit then. Lol. I'm a big time newb on Linux so I just feel really lost. [04:29] leo_away : changed to pulseaudio with 32 channels, was 9 [04:29] *0 [04:29] alistair: no problem. Glad to help [04:30] leo_away, I'm getting somewhere as the connection was working for a second. however it was very shotty and dropped me [04:30] please someone help, all my windows frames are gone! i pressed something [04:30] It is possible. [04:30] You might need to find a driver for it, though. [04:30] Uplink: try run in a terminal "compiz" [04:30] I don't know if Hardy includes accelerated support in the newer versions [04:30] grdnwsl thanks I will search for that. [04:30] smithery2: does this work in any other OS? i had a similar problem and it turned out the router was poop [04:30] zelrikriando: One last gambit. i am using a pci sound card because my onboard produced zero sound [04:31] Uplink: or "metacity" if you don't use compz. Or whatever window manager you use [04:31] yes worked fine on Vista (dual boot) [04:31] carandraug, omg thanx! [04:31] Taek: I don't know if this link will work or not, but I found it in a thread for Dapper in ubuntuforums. [04:31] compiz-fusion carandraug [04:31] Circs: did you disable the onboard one from the bios? [04:31] v [04:31] Uplink: did it work? [04:31] yes ty! [04:31] but how did that happen? [04:31] Paddy_EIRE: reboot [04:31] :( [04:31] grdnwsl loverly link lol [04:31] Circs, but you told me you had some sound before no? [04:31] my screen brightness reduces when ever i login in ubuntu 8.04 what to do? [04:32] Yeah === kalpik_ is now known as kalpik [04:32] Running xchat under OS X and the copy-paste apparently doesn't work so well in X11 apps. [04:32] ah [04:32] Uplink: you probably killed it somehow. Or it crashed. If you can do it again and find what made it crash, please care to fill a bug report [04:32] zelrikriando: Yes i got none from the onboard (plus it was fuzzy in the past with windows) so i just slapped in an old pci unit I had, i didn't disable it in the bios, maybe this is my magic solution [04:32] hi i just install Ultimate Edition 1.8 on my laptop and i dont have any sound any help pls [04:32] carandraug, what if i close the terminal? [04:33] douma:what ultimate edition? [04:33] Uplink: don't! You'll kill compiz [04:33] Circs: disabling it in the bios should work. ubuntu is most likely trying to use your onboard card [04:33] carandraug, i dont want it on my screen! >:| [04:33] Uplink: 'disown' [04:33] disown? [04:33] amanulla http://www.ultimateedition.info/uu/ [04:33] douma: Ubuntu ultimate is not an official version of Ubuntu, it is a horrible hack, I recommend not usingit [04:33] Uplink: compiz & disown [04:33] prince_jammys, what? [04:33] http://drivers.s3graphics.com/en/download/drivers/legacy/SavageMX-IX_290-229/Savage_4.0.3_binary.tgz [04:34] You might need to check out their site in general... there might be updated drivers available. [04:34] leo_away - shall i try another dvd? [04:34] Uplink: I've my desktops full of them. Minimize it. Or, try open a new one and run "compiz -replace &" [04:34] says file doesn't exist [04:34] Uplink: alt+f2 then run the compiz command [04:34] There should be under-scores where the spaces are [04:34] grdnwsl thanks if I need futher help i'll be back [04:34] thank you :D [04:34] kk [04:34] chrisdown: if you don't get sounds with mp3s then another dvd is not going to solve anything [04:35] leo_away: is my thoughts. [04:35] leo_away: hahaha, it works! [04:35] leo_away: only for this dvd though [04:35] chrisdown: o.O [04:35] leo_away: my thoughts too [04:35] leo_away: want an output? [04:35] chrisdown: I have no idea what's going on there... [04:35] chrisdown: vlc outputs are too cryptic [04:36] leo_away: unless it wanted new media before it would change the setting [04:36] leo_away, thanks for all he help [04:36] leo_away [04:36] oh wait [04:36] it's not running in vlc [04:36] it's opened in the default, but it wouldn't do that before so that is good enough [04:36] smithery2: i hope you can make your connection stay up [04:36] chrisdown: what app is it running on? [04:36] leo_away: don't know what it's called, whatever is default [04:37] leo_away: 'Movie Player' [04:37] leo_away: no, no sound on VLC with that dvd either [04:37] chrisdown: oh, ok... use that now then, haha [04:37] chrisdown: it is totem [04:37] leo_away: haha [04:37] leo_away, it's not my connection it is the firmware [04:37] chrisdown: i don't use gnome... i don't even use ubuntu [04:37] salaz_: that's the one :P [04:37] leo_away: well i usually run netbsd but i thought i'd take the plunge [04:37] smithery2: yeah, i meant i hope you can make your wifi card maintain a connection while on ubuntu [04:38] leo_away: before i go i must check whether the dvd i am actually trying to play is playeble in totem [04:38] *playable [04:38] it worked in Drake [04:38] chrisdown: i installed ubuntu on another machine and totem didn't seem like a bad guy... [04:39] leo_away [04:39] oh mah lawd [04:39] a process called captfilter, which i believe is related to a printer i gave up on installing, is sucking *all* my cpu, it consistently runs at 99%. When I kill the process, it just restarts a few minutes later. Can I stop captfilter for good somehow? [04:39] smithery2: maybe file a bug on launchpad, or check if there is any bug report for your card [04:39] chrisdown: did it work? [04:39] leo_away: it's working on totem [04:39] chrisdown: : ) [04:39] leo_away: thanks a million [04:39] leo_away, thanks. how can i find the bug report? [04:39] chrisdown: that vlc thing bothers me tho... haha [04:40] leo_away: after 5 hours of trying to fix this (that's actually 5 hours, really) it is done! [04:40] smithery2: launchpad.net [04:40] leo_away: thanks a million, going to watch the dvd [04:40] chrisdown: enjoy the movie [04:40] i will :P [04:40] bye [04:40] o/ [04:41] leo_away, k thanks for all you've done man [04:41] Can totem play a dvd? [04:41] smithery2: np [04:41] I'll tackle it tomorrow [04:41] Chad: yup [04:41] yup [04:41] totom can plau dvd [04:41] it can play it too xD [04:42] leo_away: It isn't working.. [04:42] okay I'm not finding anything, can someone please help me? As soon as I connect to the internet, I get a kernel panic. I can't figure out how to solve this... [04:42] A brand new dvd and it says cannot read from source [04:42] Chad: original [aka encrypted] dvd? [04:42] salaz_, try vlc then [04:42] is there a program that works better than wine that is free [04:42] Chad: you can install libdvdcss2 unless it's illegal in your country [04:43] leo_away: yup brand new straight from wal mart [04:43] ok can i make wine work better some how [04:43] I dunno I live in canada [04:43] www.medibuntu.org for that chad [04:43] bazhang: i alredy installed those and can play dvd..i think ur referring to other people [04:43] jahnkeanater: donations for winehq? [04:43] After updating the system my display resolution dropped down to 1024x768. The higher resolution is not available under System>Preferences>Screen Resolution. [04:43] what [04:44] jahnkeanater, ask in #winehq [04:44] jahnkeanater: if you donate money the developers can work more on it, hence they deliver a better product [04:44] Chad: idk, i live in argentina, libdvdcss2 is legal here [04:44] leo_away: what is libdvdcss2? [04:44] if i wanted to spend money i would buy that other program cedaga or w/e it is [04:45] can i install drivers on wine [04:45] Chad: it decrypts the dvd. in USA it's illegal because of the digital millenium copyright act [04:45] jahnkeanater: you don't need to buy cedega, it's free [04:45] it is [04:45] leo_away, no its not [04:45] where can i find it [04:45] DMCA a way of saying you don't own what you've bought [04:45] bazhang: it is free to use it. you can pay money to vote what app you want them to support [04:45] lets take chat elsewhere [04:46] wait is that the other win program thing or am i thinking of something else [04:46] jahnkeanater: the one for games [04:46] leo_away: How would i go about installing it? [04:46] yea [04:46] Chad: add the medibuntu repo [04:46] chad go to medibuntu.org dont need the repo [04:46] wine dosent have sound i think i have to set up drivers for it but i havent played with it to mutch [04:46] Chad: Or 'sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras' [04:47] at a command-prompt [04:47] !dvd | Chad [04:47] Chad: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [04:47] that doesn't include libdvdcss2 [04:47] Medibuntu repo works too. [04:47] badung [04:47] okay this is the error I got in dmesg right before the kernel panic: wlan0: tx error 0x20, buf 10! (excessive Tx retries due to either distance to high or unable to Tx or Tx frame error - try changing `iwconfig txpower XXX' or 'sens'itivity or 'retry') [04:47] I have a question for you guys, I am wanting to run my own web anonymizer/proxy for a friend to use... but I am looking for one with a web interface... along the lines of how www.hidemyass.com works, any ideas? [04:47] does this mean anything to anyone? [04:47] leo_away, you still there? [04:47] chrisdown: ylp [04:47] chrisdown: s/ylp/yup [04:48] leo_away: audio is ~3 seconds out of sync [04:48] ideas? [04:48] chrisdown: there might be a key to adjust that in totem. i know smplayer has that functionallity [04:48] is cedega 6 free [04:48] leo_away: i'll look around [04:49] jahnkeanater: I don't know, but wine is superior. [04:49] !cedega | jahnkeanater [04:49] jahnkeanater: cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega [04:49] !totem [04:49] so if i set up wine i can get it to work better [04:49] Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [04:49] jahnkeanater: winecfg to config wine [04:50] could my wine be out dated [04:50] jahnkeanater: wine --version [04:50] 1.0 [04:50] jahnkeanater: winehq provides an ubuntu repo for latest version, in case you want to try that [04:51] leo_away: apparently the solution is to change the gstreamer audio output to ESA [04:51] jahnkeanater: you-re up to date, mine is 1.0 too, just installed it [04:51] leo_away: how do i do that? [04:51] i [04:52] chrisdown: i use aRTs with alsa on KDE, I have no idea how that works in gnome [04:52] i'll take a look [04:52] debCarlos: there is a newer version of wine, but not in the repos [04:52] how do i make a shared folder on my ubuntu server (via ssh)? I don't need to worry about windows computers accessing it. [04:52] leo_away: which ? [04:53] kavon: just make the user trying to access the folder have permissions to enter the folder [04:53] debCarlos: nvm, the newest version is a development version [04:54] leo_away: ok, then it would allow me to map it or w/e to show on my desktop as a remote folder? [04:54] so how do i make wine look better and have sound [04:54] leo_away: oh, ok [04:54] leo_away: can u point me to the proper command to read the man pages about it? [04:54] man wine? [04:54] can i install directx10 and sound drivers [04:54] jahnkeanater: downlaod a theme and the sound.... uh... i don't know :) [04:55] kavon - sorry, wrong person [04:55] hi all, the luvcview driver works with v4l? [04:55] okay this is the error I got in dmesg right before the kernel panic: wlan0: tx error 0x20, buf 10! (excessive Tx retries due to either distance to high or unable to Tx or Tx frame error - try changing `iwconfig txpower XXX' or 'sens'itivity or 'retry') [04:55] jahnkeanater: you can't install direct x on wine, it will mess stuff up [04:55] does this mean anything to anyone? [04:55] kavon: i never tried doing that graphically, i use cli for ssh [04:55] I have been all over the google, I can' t find anyting [04:55] kavon - isn't directx already on wine? i run with dxlevel8 for tf2 [04:55] hmm would LVM alone be worth looking into to concatenate the drive capacity? [04:56] Bhavesh: yes [04:56] leo_away: ya how do i do via cli, i just though about it i can ssh with ubuntu's connect thing and it has a gui of the folders [04:56] hi [04:56] kavon: ssh -p PORT USER@SERVER [04:56] kavon: and... just navigate wherever you want to go [04:56] good evening\afternoon\morning.

[04:57] can wine run 3dsmax [04:57] chrisdown: it may happen again after a while... [04:57] leo_away: confirmed, a seek fixed it [04:57] greenman: what card do you have?

[04:57] chrisdown: http://www.winehq.org/site/about wine does not use directx, it pretends to be directx and sort of translates it so ubuntu can work with the program [04:57] chrisdown: okay, thanks for the help [04:57] chrisdown: i think that happened to me too when i used totem. i did seek again when that happened [04:57] whoops [04:57] leo_away: thanks for the help [04:57] !ask | mythu [04:57] mythu: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[05:02] jahnkeanater: you can symlink them [05:02] btw ugeerthan is having the same prob [05:03] utnubu_user, impossible [05:03] Hi guys i have a problem with full screen games it says input signal out of range [05:03] it just cuts off signal to the monitor [05:03] ty Bhavesh! [05:03] unless you can boot of a floppy or a cd that points to the usb for the files [05:03] ugeerthan, you repeated your question 5 times. good work. [05:03] quit [05:03] Xeon3D you are welcome that's the one i have used, it is decent [05:03] what's the best way to figure out what nvidia driver supports my card [05:03] * amal029 says vim is not just a command line editor, it is wayyyyy more [05:03] then the resolution the game's trying to run at isn't supported by your monitor [05:04] amal029: yeah, it's a cult [05:04] Awsoonn: go to nvidia and go through their selector [05:04] ugeerthan: That message usually means that the computer is trying to use a resolution or refresh rate that the monitor cannot handle. [05:04] amal029: no, it's a command line editor that *can* do way more [05:04] Awsoonn: what card? [05:04] dmoerner, so it is not true the documentation on internet that says it is possible? They suggest to load grub and try to boot from there. I don't know. If it possible? [05:04] Hey just wanted to say thanks to everyone who's helped me get ubuntu working on my machine. (pretty much everyone here at one time or another.) so TY! [05:04] php6th i be pming you:( [05:04] LSD|Ninja: why didnt I think of that :P I've been in linux land too long... I didn't even think to go to the manufacture page [05:04] utnubu_user, you can't boot from a flash drive if your bios doesn't support from it. you could boot from grub and have it point to a file on the flash drive [05:04] how do u change a games resolution before launching it? [05:04] Daisuke_Ido: indeed. They fight a holy war against the infidels, Emacs users [05:04] Daisuke_Ido: 6800GT [05:05] for example urban terror [05:05] awflame08: nvidia-new-glx [05:05] utnubu_user: that's what he told you. boot from something else that points to usb [05:05] err... [05:05] nvidia-glx-new [05:05] mythu: that's up to the urban terror configuration and not a general case [05:05] Daisuke_Ido: oh, I'm running intrepid, so I need the accuall number :/ [05:05] mythu: there might be a command-line parameter that will allow you to do that. [05:05] carandraug: VI VI VI, editor of the devil [05:06] Awsoonn, #ubuntu+1 for that [05:06] ah, you should be fine with 169 [05:06] Hi. I am having trouble with a computer I am setting up for a family member. I need to set up nvidia Geforce4 with a higher resolution than 640 x 480 [05:06] ok guys. That is true. I did not explain myself, sorry : (. So, does anyone know how can I point then to a file that is on a usb to boot an OS? [05:06] any clues? [05:06] For the USB booting thing could one flash the bios and put on an open bios that may support USB booting? [05:06] you might need to check the documentation of the game to find out if that sort of parameter is available, and if so, how to use it. [05:06] chao1: install nvidia-glx [05:06] evening [05:06] leo_away: hahahaha! I'm learning vi now. It's mind blowing [05:07] carandraug, it's the best [05:07] but real men use vigor [05:07] Awsoonn: nvidia say 173.14.12 for GF6 series, no idea where that falls under Intrepid though [05:07] carandraug: vitutor [05:07] Daisuke_Ido: which one? [05:07] ok i dont know if i can fix this but in wine i get like a low refresh rate for my mouse so its buggy looking [05:07] carandraug: i haven't tried emacs yet, so i can't say anything about it [05:07] leo_away: yeah. That's what I'm using to learn. Thanks for the tip anyway [05:07] Daisuke_Ido: just the meta package? [05:08] carandraug: np [05:08] I tried from grub> root (hd1,0), but does not recognize hd1-9 [05:08] leo_away: it's fun to watch emacs purist against vi purists [05:08] I have a problem, emacs swapped out my OS ;) [05:08] !ot [05:08] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[05:09] bazhang: you're right. We were way offtopic. Sorry [05:09] kavon not here. [05:09] kavon: not in here, it's an ancient flamewar, go to #ubuntu-offtopic to find out [05:09] dmoerner, do you know where can I find a tutorial on how to point to a file on a USB from grub to load an OS? [05:09] utnubu_user, do you have the iso on the usb or the root filesystem>? [05:10] leo_away: nothing happens when i do /join #ubuntu-offtopic wth [05:10] :) [05:10] dmoerner, usb [05:10] how do I find where is apache's root directory? [05:10] kavon: you are already in that channel [05:10] kavon: works fine here [05:10] kavon: just check if another tab has opened up or something. [05:10] leo_away: oh wait wth i thought this WAS ubuntu-offtopic and u guys were kidding about going to the same channel [05:10] utnubu_user, i mean: do you have an iso or a root filesystem on the usb? [05:11] kavon: lol. [05:11] ohh, I have a root filesystem, of course [05:11] hello [05:11] does ubuntu have something like winamp, but which is not 100% crap like say audacious [05:11] LimCore, zmms [05:12] LimCore, xmms [05:12] utnubu_user, then just have a normal grub with root= pointing to the usb drive [05:12] !xmms [05:12] xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious instead. [05:12] bender1337, xmms is not in hardy [05:12] xmms [05:12] LimCore, how many features do you want? you could try any of audacious, bmp, exaile, banshee, rhythmbox, alsaplayer, amarko, etc. [05:12] limcore i allways found rhythembox to be good.... [05:12] wtf [05:12] there is a shitload of programs xmms-* [05:13] LimCore, the ghost of xmms still haunts us [05:13] dmoerner, the problem is that I can not find the usb. Do not know how to find it, or how its recognized. An hdd is recognized as hd [05:13] but no alone xmms [05:13] Try Songbird, it's very WinAmp like [05:13] LimCore, correct. [05:13] dmoerner: I want it to 1) play music 2) not be crap [05:13] players I tested so far failed this goal [05:13] LimCore, you are clarifying nothing with these statements. [05:13] LimCore, please dont use that tone. [05:13] use mplayer it plays music :) [05:13] LimCore, try the other players out then. You may want to lose the crap attitude also. [05:13] huy [05:14] !wtf | LimCore [05:14] LimCore: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [05:14] LimCore, we have talked about this before. [05:14] utnubu_user, lsusb? look at dmesg? [05:14] LimCore: Audacity... looks / functions similarly to xmms... even supports xmms skins. [05:14] Audacity == Audacious [05:14] I perfer songbird, or bmpx [05:14] Audacity is something completely different. [05:14] grdnwsl: audaious has broken gui. for yera. despite my bug report [05:14] *year [05:15] LimCore, not here. [05:15] yo [05:15] LimCore, you're always welcome to roll your own xmms for Ubuntu. [05:15] dmoerner, I not very familiar with linux, so I do not know how to do it. Sorry to bother. Do you know of a tutorial that could show me that? [05:15] rhymbox fails to play files I try to open with it (instead adds to stupid list). audacious has broken gui. [05:15] utnubu_user, i can't think of any tutorials off the top of my head that explain that. sorry. [05:15] xmms is called xmms2 now? [05:16] LimCore, Beep Media Player [05:16] xmms2 is the replacement for xmms, its a more complex server/client system [05:16] !attitude | LimCore [05:16] LimCore: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [05:16] dmoerner, all right, well, do you know of a command or method to identify the usb? [05:16] utnubu_user, i just gave you two. try "lusb" or "dmesg | less" and look for the device when you plug it in [05:16] LimCore, Zinf [05:17] halo apaa kabar semua ......? [05:17] !id | smk_ [05:17] smk_: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [05:17] dmoerner: ubuntu_user: you can also do a 'tail -f /var/log/messages' and look for the device. [05:17] ok... audacious works quite well, despite looking fugly (user needs to have magnifying glass) [05:18] I guess in geeks world "double" means x1.3 (zoom in in audacious gui) [05:18] i keep getting this error when i try to remove a package: http://nopaste.com/p/a7f519VJn [05:18] LimCore, take chat elsewhere. [05:18] hi [05:18] dmoerner, found it on: Bus 004 Device 004: ID 1058:0702. But what does that mean? [05:19] otchster, hi [05:19] utnubu_user, now look through dmesg for something matching that string [05:19] Is there something like compiz fusion's color filter without running compiz fusion? [05:20] clarity_, could try the --force option i guess.. looks like somthing else has removed files it was going to remove.. and thus its complaining..

Heh [05:21] murlidhar, what does lspci list it as [05:21] paste! [05:21] !paste [05:21] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [05:21] clarity_, installing kde -> sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop is about all i ever do. [05:21] bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41757/ [05:22] clarity_, I belive theres some force option to apt-get remove, but i never have needed it. [05:22] yeah... this tutorial said to use aptitude... [05:22] aptitude would allow easier removeal of kubuntu-desktop afterwards.. but i rarely use aptitude, of course i rarely remove anything [05:22] dmoerner, I think I got it ->http://paste.ubuntu.com/41760/ [05:22] utnubu_user, yes that's it [05:22] Ive had 'issues' with aptitude in the past. :) [05:23] aptitude is the king [05:23] i think those issues have been resolved [05:23] yeah, me too... [05:23] aptitude decided to remove 300+ packages one day.. and then reinstall them... :) still not sure why it did that.

[05:24] i also have the gutsy install cd... is it ok if i just use that instead of using the new hardy download (using upgrade option)? [05:24] joanki123, what program are you using [05:24] joanki123, from windows or ubuntu [05:24] joanki123, i like the tool 'burn at once' for windows. theres many others that just burn iso files to cd [05:24] bazhang: for lsmod command http://paste.ubuntu.com/41758/ [05:24] utnubu_user, (hd0,0) [05:24] utnubu_user, i mean (hd2,0) [05:25] sudo ifup eth0 have any results murlidhar [05:25] Hello All!

[05:27] dmoerner, how can you tell the usb hdd was recognized on hd2? [05:27] clarity_, what does that mean? answer here please [05:27] or is it better to do a straight install? [05:27] help [05:27] utnubu_user, grub does not discriminate between hda and sda and counts from 0 [05:27] now when I boot, it doesn't start up gdm, and apt-get isn't working [05:27] joanki123, you need the alternate hardy cd for that [05:27] clarity_, what do you mean that "apt-get isn't working" [05:27] linux_user400354, #1 - tell the channel whats your video card.. and if you have installed the restricted-drivers for that card yet.

Welcome to #ubuntu! [05:28] eug1, welcome to chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [05:28] would apt-get -f install fix it? [05:28] so apt-get install banshee doesn't work because it'll try to remove that package first [05:28] if it's sdc that means it's the third drive and c is the third letter in the alphabet, so 0, 1, 2. [05:29] Dr_willis, fx 5200 and yes, i have installed the restricted drivers but after trying to fix my xorg.conf, the driver isnt in use :( [05:29] LimCore, could be a extension/plugin - I dont use taht app. and im not at a machine where i can check it out. The programs homepage/faq may have some info. [05:29] clarity_, what package [05:29] dmoerner, : s, well I already tried root (hd[0-9],0) with no results. [05:29] actually i'd prefer to get rid of the bug that is spying on my computer, bazhang any idea how to do that? [05:29] i'll have to reinstall all the libraries again and that could be a problem [05:29] joanki123, there is no spy on your computer [05:29] omg [05:29] dmoerner, I'll keep searching. Thanks [05:29] utnubu_user, that only works if you already have /boot on that drive with the stage files and with a bootstrappable partition type [05:29] if the usb drive is ntfs or fat you can't do it [05:29] bazhang, whenever i have firefox open, i get all these pop up ads [05:29] apt-get -f doesn't work and kio-umountwrapper [05:29] linux_user400354, so has the res ever been correct?

[05:30] it caused a system crash [05:30] bazhang, thank you [05:30] when i tried to log in again, bazhang, it says it could not recognize my A/C adaptor. and then i did a diagnostic and rebooted again - all the files on my desktop were gone. i rebooted again and it was fine, but the pop up ads continued [05:31] I've had that before too joanki123, without the desktop items being gone [05:31] dmoerner, I think I already have. I installed ubuntu using the live cd to the usb hdd doing 4 partitions: /, /home (for files), swap, and ntfs [05:31] Dr_willis, never, i just reinstalled ubuntu tonight to try to fix it [05:31] joanki123, enable popup ad block in ff and install adblockplus as well [05:31] what can i do to make sure that everything is fine on my computer without reinstalling a thing [05:31] dmoerner, I installed ubuntu under / [05:31] Belboz99, how did you fix it? [05:32] bazhang, it doesn't just pop up when it does, it takes over === murlidhar is now known as Guest41710 [05:32] it maximizes the ad on my screen and the only way i can get rid of it is to alt tab [05:32] joanki123, please paste a screenshot [05:32] and right click close [05:32] when it happens again i will [05:32] joanki123: are you referring to an Ubuntu-created popup? [05:32] Belboz99, no, i am not [05:32] hello guys [05:32] utnubu_user, sorry i totally misunderstood your problem. you need to install grub on the drive in the computer, which means putting /boot on that drive as well [05:32] the last was a car ad [05:32] oh, sorry [05:33] no ads currently, but i am wondering if i should be worried that something in mjy system is now corrupt [05:33] I was having a problem with my UPS so it kept on telling me that :-P [05:33] sorry about that, after i sent my last message my laptop crashed [05:33] joanki123, no. [05:33] so i had to restart [05:33] bazhang, how do i know that? [05:33] joanki123, get adblockplus ff plugin and noscript plugin [05:33] ok fine [05:33] linux_user400354, all ive ever done to get my 4+ nvidia cards going was 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings nvidia-glx' (or nvidia-glx-new) and basically restart the machine. I then used nvidia-settings to tweak the thing. or the nvidia-xconfig tool to tweak the thing a little. [05:34] Hey i was wondering if someone could help me, i have tried quite a few different usplash's off gnome-look but none seem to work? [05:34] dmoerner, its simple. I want to boot ubuntu from my usb hdd. I: have grub installed on my laptop. Bios does not support booting from usb. I just want to point to the usb from grub [05:34] Hyuukai: how are you installing them? [05:34] utnubu_user, is there an os on there now [05:34] utnubu_user, yes. you need to put the grub stage files on the hd in the laptop, and install grub to the mbr of that hard disk [05:34] just downloading them then going on startup-manager? [05:35] bazhang: sorry lost my electricity [05:35] dmoerner, yes. That's how I have it right now. [05:35] buenas noches amigos ubunteros [05:35] utnubu_user, what os on there now [05:35] !es | ramiro [05:35] ramiro: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [05:35] utnubu_user, that means that in grub the root command should probably be (hd0,0) [05:35] ok [05:35] dmoerner, exactly [05:36] disulpa es q es mi primera vez [05:36] dmoerner, I have ubuntu and windows [05:36] I mounted my window's partition, and now it won't let me unmount it. How can I? [05:36] me puedes decir como entro a ese canal [05:36] belboz99 how am i meant too? [05:36] utnubu_user, what is the error you get when you run grub -> root (hd0,0) [05:36] ramiro: pon /join #ubuntu-es [05:36] ramiro, /j #ubuntu-es [05:36] bazhang: it worked in gutsy , now since again i got broadband i want it for hardy too :( [05:36] bazhang, thanks i did that. i really hope that solves it [05:36] ok [05:36] murlidhar, does it work on hardy livecd [05:37] bazhang: err i don't have it now [05:37] Hyuukai: sorry, doing some research on it [05:37] Hyuukai: seems that's the right way to do it [05:37] murlidhar, that would be the best test [05:37] how can i force a partition in linux that is not closed properly in windows.....moreover it is not booting in vista [05:37] pls gelp guys [05:37] dmoerner, don't remeber the error, but does not load. I have windows in (0,0); /home in (0,1) and /boot in (0,2) [05:37] can anyone test if this loads? (phpsysinfo) -> http://81.84.199.12:82/phpsysinfo/index.php [05:37] For some reason they just dont work :( maybe its because i have set the res or bits of colours wrong? [05:38] bazhang: how can i download it . i am using internet from my cellphone's modem which is too slow . [05:38] Xeon3D, it works [05:38] bazhang: it would take me 7 days to download the livecd [05:38] ty dmoerner [05:38] hi, i am working on a cartoon theme in ubuntu i have gartoon icons and a cartoon back ground does anyone know what else i could get to improve my theme [05:38] murlidhar, you are connected router or directly to dsl modem with your computer [05:38] dmoerner, the thing is that I do not know how to point to the usb hdd. I tried (hd1,0), to (hd9,0) [05:38] bazhang: also there is no one near who has a broadband installed [05:38] utnubu_user, you want hd0,0) [05:38] order a cd [05:38] bender1337, ask in #ubuntu-artwork [05:39] murlidhar:what u want? [05:39] to down load? [05:39] hello [05:39] /etc/modules includes a line: "# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded [05:39] bazhang: ??? [05:39] amanulla, no [05:39] bender1337, awn icons, emerald theme, menu bar's, login screen, splash [05:39] How can i increase the speed of my ubuntu [05:39] Whenever I sleep my computer using the button on my keyboard, the computer will never wake up. How can I fix this? [05:39] amanulla: i need my ethernet to be enable [05:39] bullgard4, is that a problem? [05:39] MeI, how much ram [05:39] dmoerner, ok, right, then how can I load the usb drive? hd0 is the internal laptop hdd [05:39] i believe i have 2g [05:40] Does anyone know if it is possible to have the unique openvpn certs(unique to each laptop) all named the same thing? This way the openvpn client configurations could all be put into a deb package? [05:40] MeI, what is slow [05:40] utnubu_user, you put root=/dev/sdc1 in the kernel line of /boot/grub/menu.lst [05:40] has anyone successfuly changed there usplash? [05:40] dmoerner, bingo! [05:40] 2 g mem [05:40] /etc/modules includes a line: "# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded at boot time, one per line." Why are there so many names of moules missing and still loaded? [05:40] bullgard4, udev handles most module loading automatically [05:40] bazhang, 2 gig mem [05:40] Hyuukai: I just changed mine, but I'd have to restart to make sure it worked [05:40] utnubu_user, if that works then you should switch to UUIDs [05:41] MeI, what is slow [05:41] bazhang: i have dlink 502T adsl modem for my broadband . now can i connect it through usb for the time being till the problem gets solved [05:41] dmoerner, so it means that I have to mount the drive first, right? [05:41] im going to restart once more to see if this one has worked [05:41] utnubu_user, mount the drive to do what? [05:41] bazhang, it was freezing up a little, so i restarted. [05:41] murlidhar, does it allow for that? [05:41] dmoerner, I mean, I need to mount the external drive while I am under ubuntu on my internal hdd, so it can be recognized as sdc? [05:41] bazhang, it seemed that the video output is slow, however, i have 512 video card [05:41] does it make sense to spend $1500 for a server that serves 20 thin clients on Edubuntu? I mean, does the price justify? [05:42] MeI, without very specific info no way to help you; it's slow could be caused by a variety of factors [05:42] bazhang: well i don't know but in windows i can connect it from both usb mode and ethernet mode. [05:42] bazhang, maybe i have too much programs in startup [05:42] IntangibleLiquid, please discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic [05:42] Hey guys, I know it may sound silly, but can anyone give me some good websites to check out, they could be about linux or ubuntu. I am just a bit bored at the mo. with nothing to do [05:42] dmoerner: Why does udev not load the module hdaps atomatically? [05:42] IntangibleLiquid, It would make sense if you were able to save: 1500/20=$75 on each of the thin clients. [05:42] dmoerner: Why does udev not load the module hdaps automatically? [05:43] murlidhar, this is dual boot? [05:43] bazhang: yes [05:43] quentusrex, thanks, that makes sense! [05:43] utnubu_user, the way i am describing does this: it puts /boot on the internal hd with grub on that mbr. grub will then load the external drive as /. you should put the internal drive mounted as /boot in /etc/fstab, so that it mounts that as well later [05:43] bazhang: the ISP is yet to give username and password . [05:43] which audio players support setting per-file volume (and autoloading that)? [05:43] murlidhar, and the reason you dont download ubuntu hardy iso in windows is? [05:43] IntangibleLiquid, also think about this. You'll have to manage only one set of configurations. rather than 20. [05:43] (like winamp did) [05:43] bullgard4, i don't know. it doesn't have a persistent rule written for it maybe? maybe because default hdaps is useless? [05:43] bazhang: the ISP is yet to give username and password . [05:43] quentusrex, that's so true [05:43] Ok that didnt work! and i have two really annoying things to ask about [05:43] murlidhar, then that is the issue [05:44] quentusrex, and I only need to upgrade 1 computer to make others run faster [05:44] dmoerner, I apologize for being such an ignorant, but what did you mean by "switch to UUIDs"? [05:44] quentusrex_lapto, IntangibleLiquid please take this chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [05:44] bazhang: but it should atleast selfping [05:44] !uuid | utnubu_user [05:44] utnubu_user: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [05:44] dmoerner: Where are the rules for udev laid down? [05:44] utnubu_user, well "/dev/sdc1" might work now but if you plug in other devices it might switch the naming conventions. UUIDs are persistent through hotswapping [05:44] bazhang, I don't think it's entirely off-topic [05:44] one is i have my panel at the top without expand on when i login from a restart its and the bottom and when i try properties top it switches back to bottom, i have to press expand then top then get rid of expand? :S and my screenlets daemon when i click it appears in awn then dissapears [05:44] bullgard4, /etc/udev/rules.d i think [05:44] bullgard4, how does this relate to ubuntu support. [05:44] bazhang: i am able to ping to my router from windows but not from linux [05:45] IntangibleLiquid, I have asked nicely twice... [05:45] bullgard4, the module is named hdaps_ec on ubuntu anyway [05:45] utnubu_user, using uuids is getting to be the 'new' way to defind mounts based on unique uuid #'s of filesystems. :) so you dont missmount a drive to sda one day.. then sdb the next.. [05:45] murlidhar what program are you using to manage your network connections ? [05:45] Does anyone think that the conversation about thin clients is off topic for this channel? [05:45] standard gnome nm-manager or wicd or something similar? [05:45] bazhang: The answer is simple: If I would not use Ubuntu, the question which I put, would not have arisen. [05:45] BrickJingle: lxnm [05:45] is there a cartoony gtk theme [05:45] quentusrex_lapto, yes [05:46] dmoerner, Now I got it. I will try that. Thank you very much. And sorry for so many questions... [05:46] anyone other than bazhang? [05:46] hello i was wondering if any one knows how i can share an internet connection. i have a ubuntu box connected directly to my adsl modem and i have a pci nic inside so i have internet on eth0 and the nic is eth1 what i want to do is hook a netgear router up to eth1 and share the internet thu the buntu box any help would be greatly appreciate google has not help thus far.... [05:46] i had problems with wicd, it woudlnt see my windows shares or ping anything all i had was internet, could be similar to what you are haing [05:46] having* [05:46] utnubu_user, no problem. it's always hard to communicate a complex setup like this over irc. [05:46] anyone? [05:46] how to configure VMWARE? [05:46] BrickJingle: my ethernet is not getting enabled . [05:46] anyone / [05:46] hmm [05:46] dmoerner, I agree with you ;) [05:46] bullgard4, why do you want hdaps anyway? it needs extra setting up no matter what you do [05:46] segagman: I reccomend a firewall such as arno-iptables-firewall [05:47] bazhang: i am able to ping to my router from windows but not from linux [05:47] i have my panel at the top without expand on when i login from a restart its and the bottom and when i try properties top it switches back to bottom, i have to press expand then top then get rid of expand? :S and my screenlets daemon when i click it appears in awn then dissapears [05:47] segagman: most firewall apps allow you to route traffic much like a router does [05:47] murlidhar, you need the info from isp. [05:47] bazhang: to be more precise . i the gateways is 192.168.1.1 [05:47] murlidha:what type of connection is yours? [05:47] bazhang, I guess not. IntangibleLiquid. Also keep in mind the ability to upgrade storage. You'll be able to toss in a couple of drives to increase storage rather than 20 smaller drives. [05:47] and belboz my usplash failed [05:47] segagman: I have 2PC's and 1 Wireless Laptop going through my home made server using Arnoiptables [05:47] amanulla: adsl [05:48] Hyuukai: sorry [05:48] I found that mine wasn't properly configured, I need ot try it again [05:48] bazhang: from windows i can open the router page , but not from windows. [05:48] adsl means its a wireless or modem or wired one? [05:48] dmoerner: Do you mean that I would not need extra setting up if I used hdaps_ec instead of hdaps? [05:48] anyone here got any experience beating nvidia's powermizer into submission in standard ubuntu 8.04 ? [05:48] and u got any other idea to my other problems belboz? [05:48] bullgard4, it depends on what you are interested in doing. [05:48] i have the opposite problem most people have, mine stays maxed out 24-7 [05:48] bazhang: also i have all the setting except the ISP username and passwork [05:48] Does anyone know how to use a WIRED external wireless adapter? I have all the network information, but I don't know how to set up WPA, as the connection is recognized as wired. Please help if you can. [05:48] murlidha:have u used xp before? [05:48] hello, i just plugged in a usb thumb drive and it did not automount. how can i check what device it is under in /dev> [05:49] that's a nice act of suppression I can say [05:49] ? [05:49] amanulla: adsl is DSL, similar to Cable internet [05:49] i have 5 puterz i want traffic to go thu my linux box first is the a gui way to do this/ [05:49] ? [05:49] amanulla: i dual boot. wired one [05:49] xp? [05:49] hardware discussion is offtopic here. [05:49] belboz99? [05:49] segagman: if you can find a firewall app that's got a GUI interface [05:49] amanulla: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41757/ [05:49] dmoerner: My primary interest is in learning to understand how the HDAPS system works on my recently acquired T42 laptop computer. [05:49] Andy [05:49] Has anyone got screenlets on 8.04 64bit working? [05:49] amanulla: yes xp and intrepid and hardy [05:50] bazhang, what does Ubuntu run on? thin air? === etotheipi is now known as Fawkward [05:50] with a wired external wireless adaptor you usually have to log into it with a web browser === Fawkward is now known as etotheipi [05:50] Ubuntu runs on the tears of squirrels [05:50] Hyuukai: sorry, I don't use screenlets [05:50] like a router it has a configuration system through a web page [05:50] BrickJingle: i am not able to access my router page from linux . [05:50] what about my menu bug? where it makes itself go to the bottom and stay there? unless i expand then i can move to top and unexpand? [05:50] Hyuukai: are you using KDE or Gnome as a desktop? [05:50] i was talking to andy Murl sorry [05:50] BrickJingle: but i am able to access the router page from windows [05:50] how to mount a new partition permanently? [05:50] when i boot it appears at the bottem [05:51] Gnome [05:51] BrickJingle: oh ok [05:51] hello [05:51] Hyuukai: k, because KDE4.1 has widgets, and the plasma, you might like that [05:51] php6th add it in the /etc/fstab [05:51] hi nyu [05:51] murl [05:51] when i close firefox even sify internet client closes and hence internet connection...... [05:51] can someone help me get my wireless working on my lenovo laptop...i already viewed the ubuntu documentation [05:51] SeaPhor: yese [05:51] php6th: you had it to fstab [05:51] bellboz99 never used KDE [05:51] kde 4 always made my laptop unusable lol [05:51] murlidhar, is this wireless or wired? [05:51] Hyuukai: it's all built in automagically [05:52] bellboz99 have only just got used to gnome and still find a few things that don't wanna work [05:52] SeaPhor: wired [05:52] Hyuukai: that's becuase Gnome wasn't built for things like Screenlets [05:52] bazhang: can i connect my adsl router from usb mode [05:52] belboz99 does kde still run stuff like synaptic? i don't really know the difference [05:52] murlidhar, with isp info it is unlikely to work [05:52] ok i got a nother question is it safe to install nubuntu to a eeepc 900 from a external dvd drive? i dont want to trash the bios [05:53] I have a problem with a friends PC. I installed ubuntu via Wubi on it and now because I tried to fix that it often didn't shut down completely, I can't start it again. I just get a BusyBox telling me that the root.disk does not exist. I have winXP on the PC as well but no CD drive, so I wonder how to repair this file? [05:53] murlidhar, without rather [05:53] bazhang: means [05:53] murlidhar, what does lshw -C network tell you? [05:53] can someone help me? [05:53] SeaPhor: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41759/ [05:53] Hyuukai: all yoru current apps would remain, you'd have a bunch of new KDE apps as well, it doesn't even require a re-install, just installing an additional desktop: [05:53] http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.1/ [05:54] bazhang: i know the gateways and dns address . [05:54] belboz99 which do you use? [05:54] bazhang: also mtu [05:54] bazhang: and VPI and VCI values [05:54] Hyuukai: I've used Gnome for the majority of the past 5 years, but I've been trying out KDE this past few weeks, it just looks better with the 4.1 release [05:54] segagman, sure it is safe; you can read the wiki at www.eeeuser.com for more on that. [05:54] murlidhar, tmi,,, next time just lshw -C network [05:55] why dose wubi run slower than a strait up live disc install? ty baz [05:55] Help, is that ok what i added in FSTAB ? /dev/sda2 /steelgunner/ini ext3 [05:55] SeaPhor: but it is already on line 1060 [05:55] murlidhar, without any isp pass it does not matter. [05:55] SeaPhor: but it is already on line 106 [05:55] belboz99 ok and how do i install this additional desktop cause i wanna keep gnome as well? [05:55] sure, that's no problem [05:55] murlidhar, and disabled... [05:55] bazhang: atleast i should be able to ping to my router if not ISP . [05:56] php6th do you really want it to be mounted at /steelgunner/ini directory? [05:56] SeaPhor: yes that's exactly i want to enable it [05:56] murlidhar, you can ping the router but the modem will not get the pass info so no internet [05:56] networking q, not completely ubuntu-specific, but i figure people here would be knowledgeable. which is the correct model? http://paste.ubuntu.com/41767/ [05:56] Hyuukai: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1 [05:56] Bhavesh: yeah [05:56] bazhang: i am not able to ping to the router . [05:56] Bhavesh: the parameters are ok? or am i missing something [05:56] player2, please describe briefly here [05:56] php6th you have to add two more parametrs to the file [05:56] I have purged the demon of ibex from my comp [05:57] Basically, does a switch introduce a bottleneck, or can devices communicating across the switch use the full gigE bandwidth between each other? [05:57] tyg13, #ubuntu+1 for that [05:57] bazhang: I did, no one said anything [05:57] php6th it's device mount point , type, dump , pass [05:57] player2, using two nics? [05:57] no one who has an idea what to do? [05:57] tyg13, that is the correct channel not here [05:57] belboz99 so i follow this and it wont get rid of gnome? [05:57] eeks forgot option [05:57] bazhang: Argh, you ruin the fun :D [05:57] bazhang: no, each device is using 1 nic [05:57] Hyuukai: so, you'd want to open the Repositories dialog in Admin, (or is it Sources?) and then installl kubuntu-desktop [05:57] And I also fixed my 10 gig swap file [05:58] tyg13, don't expect people to respond to a flamebait post about ibex [05:58] there are really only 3 devices [05:58] php6th you are missing 3 options from it [05:58] Bhavesh: what should i fill on those 3 options? [05:58] dmoerner: I was only kidding :( [05:58] php6th i normally do defaults 0 0 [05:58] Hyuukai: oops, open the repo's dialog, add that repo, then install the kubuntu-desktop :-P [05:58] beloboz99 can i pm you? [05:58] bazhang: please make my comp ping to the router . [05:58] hmm [05:58] Hyuukai: sure [05:58] php6th so it would be /dev/sda2 /steelgunner/ini ext3 defaults 0 0 [05:58] my laptop brightness decreases when in login in ubuntu 8.04 what to do? [05:59] help me [05:59] can someone tell me where the hell cd lives? I can't sudo cd [05:59] Bhavesh: thank you a lot, now i need to reboot? [05:59] bazhang: the router address is 192.168.1.1 [05:59] greenman, it's a bash builtin. [05:59] greenman- cd means change directory [05:59] php6th no you don't just type sudo mount /steelgunner/ini [05:59] greenman, to use it as a super user requires starting a root shell [05:59] use the laptop adjust brightness keys [05:59] I know that, I need to figure out how I can sudo it [05:59] ah [06:00] like sudo bash? [06:00] amanulla: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-help/100549-laptop-brightness-issue.html [06:00] sudo su [06:00] do not use 'sudo bash' [06:00] greenman, sudo -i [06:00] greenman: sudo -i [06:00] use sudo -i [06:00] :) [06:00] thanks [06:00] lol [06:00] be careful when using sudo -i [06:00] and yes theres a reason for it sudo -i :) [06:00] You will remain rooted until you unroot yourself [06:01] set up a big flashing root prompt in the terminal flashing red 'Danger Danger' :) [06:01] murlidhar, look at but dont change yet,,, /etc/network/interfaces [06:01] about my network issue. what i want to do is kinda like the thing were you can share connection to xbox360 with wif with ubuntu but i want it to hand an adress to my router. like in winblows were you just click share internet conection the plug eth cord to whatever you want. is ther a n easy way to share under ubuntu? [06:02] dmoerner, I have a last question. How can you add an extra text line in Grub? I tried adding an extra title line, but it is not showed [06:02] SeaPhor: k [06:02] how do i fix problem with usr/lib... [06:02] murlidhar, gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces [06:02] !explain | ganes1 [06:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about explain [06:02] ganes1 we need more information then that, can you articulate your problem [06:02] ganes1: what is busted with it? [06:03] SeaPhor: shall i pastebin it ? [06:03] SeaPhor: it doesn't show eth0 [06:03] anyone knows how can I add an extra text line in grub? I want to add just a single extra text line... [06:04] utnubu_user, the grub menu.lst lets you have lines that dont really do anything but work as a comment/label [06:04] murlidhar, pastebin plz [06:04] Dr_willis: I think he literally means a blank line in the menu [06:04] FAJALOU:  Cpudan80:http://paste.ubuntu.com/41768/ [06:04] utnubu_user, they do get counted as a entry [06:04] put in a line ' ' as the title? [06:04] utnubu_user, i don't quite understand your question. if you want a blank line in the menu then put a line with a bogus title and nothing else [06:05] ie: quote space quote? [06:05] SeaPhor: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41769/ [06:05] share a internet connection from ubuntu to a router...there is a way im shure....but i am missing something [06:05] ganes1: that's not a problem with usr/lib [06:05] murlidhar, empty? 1 sec [06:05] FAJALOU: problem is when i close firefox even internet client closes...hence internet connection in few minutes [06:05] ganes1: that's a bad programmer who didn't free his memory properly [06:06] I want to add just an extra line. I tried adding another line starting with 'title -textline-', but it is doesn't show [06:06] SeaPhor: no there are six lines in it. [06:06] ganes1: Or maybe you compiled it from the source with missing/broken dependencies ? [06:06] ganes1: so when you shutdown firefox, you loose internet connection? [06:06] FAJALOU: after 2-5 mins [06:07] bazhang, murlidhar 's eth0 is disbled,,, not an ISP issue from what i see, can you help? [06:07] Dr_willis, how can I add a comment line on grub? what is the format? [06:07] Cpudan80: it was not workin in the beginning.. i modified as some 1 suggested [06:07] ganes1 that may have to do with network-manager, not FF [06:07] modified what? [06:07] SeaPhor, that is an odd ethernet adapter; trying to get him to dl the hardy iso to test but he refuses :) [06:07] How do you share a internet connection in ubuntu? [06:08] segagman: share it with what? [06:08] !ics | segagman [06:08] segagman: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [06:08] segagman, that what you mean? [06:08] murlidhar, your eth card is being seen as PCI, but disabled,,,1 sec [06:08] ganes1: your problem is *** glibc detected *** sifyconnect: double free or corruption (out): 0x0805e1c0 *** [06:08] bazhang: but downloading a live cd is not a solution [06:09] ganes1: meaning the programmer did a free on something that he shouldn't have freed [06:09] its a solution.. just one you dont want to use. :) [06:09] murlidhar, testing with livecd is a way to check if you have done something since installation [06:09] or somehow or another ate up the memory at 0x0805... [06:09] :( [06:09] Cpudan80:ln -s /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 /usr/lib/libssl.so.4 [06:09] yes [06:10] ganes1: what are you trying to do exactly? [06:10] * amal029 thinks that is one of the funniest links he has seen [06:10] Would anyone know why Nautilus would stop auto-updating file-sizes and folder contents (forcing a manual refresh) ?? [06:11]  Cpudan80:ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.4 [06:11] bazhang: i am a noob i didn't do anything for sure . [06:11] ganes1: I understand what that does - why are you doing it? [06:11] this would be a lot easier if I could do it through a gui, is there a way to start a superuser filemanager [06:11] Cpudan80:these are the two commands told by some 1 [06:11] greenman: gksudo nautilus [06:11] murlidhar, i agree with bazhang on the testing with live cd part,,, and i am not skilled enough to tell you how to "enable" what you have,,, i would suggest you get the live cd and see [06:11] greenman, from cmdline, just type "sudo nautilus" [06:11] greenman: gksudo nautilus [06:11] greenman: be very careful [06:11] Bossmanbeta: should use gksudo [06:11] murlidhar, never heard of the symon ethernet adapter before; did it ever work with ubuntu? [06:12] greenman, its a lot SAFER to learn to do rooty tasks from the terminal. :) [06:12] Cpudan80: it wan giving some error so i ran these two commands [06:12] Cpudan80, why's that? [06:12] hi all [06:12] hi [06:12] Bossmanbeta: gksudo is tweaked for graphical programs [06:12] I can do it from term, but I'm trying to find a file, it's taking a long time [06:12] greenman, ive seen many a system trashed by new users who forget which 'file manager window' is theirs and which one was roots. [06:12] hi WX5AAA [06:12] it's in timemachine [06:12] bazhang: the card shows that it is intex rtl8139D . [06:12] browse network tooks forever [06:12] Bossmanbeta: I forget exactly what the difference is --- something about linking in the appropriate saved gui configs or some minor thing like that [06:12] Cpudan80, ah, thanks...learn something every day.. tweaked in what way? [06:13] any new word for drivers and such for magicjack.com on ubuntu? [06:13] greenman: find or locate are a much better choice than root GUI fm for that [06:13] Cpudan80, I've been running gui-apps with "sudo" for years...never had a problem... (not arguing, just pontificating) [06:13] bazhang: i used it with feisty fawn and gutsy . [06:13] Bossmanbeta: I believe gksudo will pull the configs out of /home/$user vs /root [06:13] Cpudan80:http://202.144.65.70:8090/linuxinstall.html [06:13] murlidhar, aha [06:13] Cpudan80, intersting.. [06:13] maybe, but I dont' know where to do a find, and my locate isn't up yet. I know. [06:13] hey is there a buntu release that will run a mac g3? [06:13] ganes1: times out [06:13] ewww g3...? [06:14] Something old [06:14] murlidhar, there likely is the rtl8139too module enabled that is messing things up [06:14] having a spinrite party [06:14] Dapper Drake maybe [06:14] greenman: find / -name "blah*" [06:14] i just gave 3 of them [06:14] segagman: there was an official PowerPC port up until about 7.something but it's community supported now [06:14] do you have to add -print to the find ? [06:14] Cpudan80: downloaded from this site..can u help me with re installation? [06:14] okay, gksudo nautilus gives me the prompt and nothing else and sudo nautilus says nautilus not found [06:14] segagman: are they blue and white? [06:14] ops some one gave me three of them [06:14] blue [06:14] Bhavesh: no, you don't [06:14] if I'm in a su term and I nautilus will it be su? [06:14] ganes1: I cant even connect to that site [06:14] why? [06:14] bazhang: so should i disable it [06:14] ganes1: which means 1 of 2 things [06:15] murlidhar, let me check [06:15] greenman: You should not do that [06:15] bazhang, maybe have to blacklist it? [06:15] bobernet thanks i thought yo ualways need print [06:15] ganes1: 1 I really can't get there or 2: The admins here have blacklisted 202.144.65.70 [06:15] greenman: You should only run graphical applications as root with gksudo [06:15] greenman: "which nautilus" perhaps it's not in your path [06:15] Either is likely [06:15] segagman: Blue and Whites are New World, easier to install non-MacOS onto than the Old Worlds [06:15] Jordan_U, you aware of the exact reasons why? (over sudo) [06:16] !gksudo | Bossmanbeta [06:16] Bossmanbeta: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [06:16] SeaPhor: but lsmod doesn't show 8139too module [06:16] building a new kernel on a p3 is very slow. [06:16] hi, how do i turn the monitors off on my system without hitting the button or closing my laptop lid (which causes problems) [06:16]  Cpudan80: can i uninstall and re install it? [06:16] SeaPhor, my thoughts exactly [06:16] what is the code made for 8.04 ubuntu is it Hardy Heron? [06:16] Hi all [06:16] Jordan_U, I've used sudo for graphical apps for years without issue, so I'm just curious [06:16] LordFDisk, yes [06:16] ganes1: I really dont know what you downloaded or how you tried to install it [06:16] is there a buntu for the g3 other than yellowdog or yellowknife [06:16] segagman, yellowdog is fedora-based i believe [06:16] segagman: Ubuntu PowerPC is community supported now [06:16] dmoerner, ty [06:17] greenman: Are you using xubuntu? In that case you would't have nautilus installed by default and you would want to do "gksudo thunar" ( IIRC ) [06:17] segagman: it's not an officially supported port [06:17] HELP!!! i was transferring files from a mini-sd card to a usbdrive in nautilus in Ubuntu 7.10. When it indicated the transfer was done, I unmounted both drives and reformatted the mini-sd drive (because it had a weird write-protection). (When I unmounted the usbdrive, it told me to wait a file because it is still writing some data.. so I waited until that notification box disappeared. However, now i realized all my data that got [06:17] ganes1: generally you download the source, go into its directory and do make config; make; make install [06:17] hmm... it says nautilus not found [06:17] segagman: ie, it still exists, just don't expect much in the way of first party support for it [06:17] ah [06:17] SeaPhor, I have to head out for a few, be back soon :) [06:17] yeah, xubuntu [06:17] Bossmanbeta: It depends on the app, but many times we get people in here who can't login because their Xauthority is owned by root [06:17] segagman, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=427714 [06:18] greenman: The procedure would be the same there, except the file manager uses a different name [06:18] Jordan_U, would you know why Nautilus would stop auto-updating file-sizes and folder contents (forcing a manual refresh) ?? [06:18] greenman: fire up a viewer thing and then do ps ax on the terminal [06:18] how do i make my displays sleep? is ther a command or way for it to do it now instead of waiting the minimum 11 minutes of idle? [06:18] Bossmanbeta: no [06:18] Cpudan80: can i send you the source i downloaded which is 115 kb.. [06:18] ganes1: no [06:18] I dont want it [06:18] I'm not going to install/compile some source from some random site in saudi arabia [06:19] Not sure what i've done but I can't play MP3's anymore in ubuntu, they were working, I think they must of stopped when i upgraded something (some security upgrades)?? any ideas what i now need todo? [06:19] Cpudan80: i mean you can see whats wrong [06:19] google+ubuntuforums=FTW! :D [06:19] barried: What happens when you try? [06:19] ganes1: did you try the make config - make - make install procedure? [06:19] barried: do you get any static if you: cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp [06:19] barried: open an MP3 in totem, should prompt you to redownload the codec [06:20] kavon: echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep [06:20] Jordan_U: Opens file but won't play [06:20] i think [06:20] barried: also, as gnea point out - make sure nothing is holding your sound card open [06:20] google the acpi sleep levels [06:20] thank you all very much i have got more onthe way so far i got 2 power pc 3 imac blues and this dude told me he has a laptop to i want to put ubuntu on them all [06:20] Gnea: I can play movies ok with audio. [06:20] bobernet: now that will only make the displays sleep right? not the system? (i need a process to run overnight) [06:20] Cpudan80:http://paste.ubuntu.com/41770/ [06:20] barried: what mp3 player do you use? [06:21] ganes1: did you run the install as root? [06:21] Gnea: I've tried heaps including VLC and Amarok [06:21] using sudo [06:21] ganes1: incidentally this looks very suspicious, I wouldnt be installing this if I were you [06:21] kavon: oh, 3 is suspend to RAM [06:22] barried: what about audacious?

[06:23] SeaPhor: seeing it [06:23] ganes1: What is this software supposed to do --- maybe there is some alternative? [06:23] Gnea: whats audacious for?

Ubuntu does not handle acpi-cpufreq needed for the newer chips and nobody but those lacking self-esteem using Macs. [06:44] tyler: It looks like one of the newer Atheros chips. Those aren't supported by the version ofmadwifi currently in hardy. It *may* be supported by Intrepid but I'm not sure [06:44] LSD|Ninja: Shouldn't fw-cutter be installed by Hardware Drivers [06:44] LSD|Ninja: No need to install it before had IIRC [06:44] bazhang: knock knock [06:45] tyler: what wireless card do you have? [06:45] atheros [06:45] cman: atheros ar242x [06:45] tyler: Is this a wireless n capable card?

[06:47] tyler: It's possible to get the newer drivers up and running but I don't have the details handy right now === pc01_ is now known as Finding_Nemo [06:48] tyler: ndiswrappers [06:48] cman: what is that? [06:48] LSD|Ninja: Are you talking about ath9k ?

[06:49] cman: you don't need ndiswrapper for Atheros, the problem is that Hardy is using an older version of madwifi that doesn't support the newer chips [06:49] bubaphex: rhythmbox is an itunes lookalike and very nice alternative [06:49] ndiswrapper is a major pita. it's almost always better to replace hardware than use it. [06:49] #bandung [06:49] ok [06:49] awesome, thanks outbriber [06:50] brb [06:50] just recomending something [06:50] LSD|Ninja: Installed b42-fwcutter === kiiwii is now known as kiiwii7 === kiiwii7 is now known as kiiwii [06:50] cap: the Hardware Drivers panel should be offering the b43 driver now [06:51] LSD|Ninja: what link do i follow of the ones above?

[06:52] Hi all, I'm back again. [06:52] MP3's are now working, just needed a reboot?? No idea why. [06:52] bobernet: I understand that ndiswrapper may be necessary in some cases but it's annoying that it keeps getting trotted out as some kind of panacea for wireless woes just like hdparm was for DMA issues a while back [06:53] cap: you may need a reboot, I can't remember. [06:53] LSD|Ninja: I'll reboot [06:53] can someone recommend me a rss reader and a finial cut pro alternative ? [06:53] LSD|Ninja: agreed [06:53] google reader! [06:54] puft google reader :P [06:54] bubaphex: what interface? raggle and snownews are both nice RSS readers [06:54] great unless you're a google hater [06:54] looking for something like feedreader3 [06:54] i find google reader ugly, not a google hater [06:55] liferea? [06:55] bubaphex, perhaps you should change your reading tastes, then it might look better. [06:55] tyler: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5545069&postcount=5 <- that looks like it. It's a little involved but it should only be necessary until Intrepid [06:55] thanks bobernet i will give them a try [06:55] or pan maybe for newsreader [06:55] bubaphex, that's what's great about google reader, it's web based so you can CSS it all you want [06:56] bubaphex: they're both console apps, so if that's not your cup of tea, might look elsewhere. i spend most of my time in non-gui apps, so can't help much there. [06:56] LSD|Ninja, while i boot the ibook now it said something about cannot allocate device....

[06:57] bubaphex, yeah like i said, CSS is your friend [06:57] LSD|Ninja: Rebooted and hardware drivers panel still says: "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system" [06:57] LSD|Ninja, right before the ubuntu load starts basicly, between the initial first boot stuff and the orange boot list from ubuntu [06:58] Addernator: edit /etc/fstab [06:58] Maybe the thing is just broken?

Alguien tendra alguna idea de q sucede [07:16] so one thing remains i need to create a folder on the HD to use as the mount point but it wont let me do anything in it how do i get around this one? lol [07:16] tyler: normally that would mean the wireless drivers aren't setup and working right but we're dealing with drivers from external sources which may change things [07:16] Jordan_U: after installing ubuntu, I run 'gcc' to compile a helloworld.c file, it cannot recongise 'printf' [07:17] sudo mk /mnt/dev/hdb1/whatever?

[07:36] how to i connect my adsl router using usb mode? [07:37] lovinglinux: in mplayer preferably [07:37] bye.. [07:37] wantdivx: No, just me mistyping divx. There is however also Xvid which is exactly that :) [07:37] jangari, says command not found [07:37] lovinglinux: but it would be nice to be able to view it in Firefox as well [07:37] did you make it executable? [07:37] greenman: right click in an empty space in your file browser there is arrange items by date [07:38] i dont wanna have to reinstall windows to use the thing.. i may sell it and buy a linux friendly alternative.. any suggestions other that ipod? [07:38] Jordan_U: the description of v 15.2 (in 8.04.1) does not mention Divx though [07:38] your help i want to register to ##c channel so that i can talk because i have connected to the channel but when i type any thing it say :Please register with services and use the IDENTIFY command (/msg nickserv help) to speak in this channel [07:38] isn't it possible to watch divx on firefox with the videolan plugin? i never tried, but it seems doable [07:38] veyne: iPod. xD [07:38] jangari, der [07:38] wantdivx: follow this tutorial and install Gecko Media Player. It has DivX support for both. Don't skip any steps, since there are some dependencies you need to install first, from Medibuntu repository [07:38] jangari, forgot [07:39] wantdivx: fprgot the link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683 [07:39] no help?

[07:40] wantdivx: really don't know. I just know that I followed that tutorial and can play everything I tried so far. [07:40] wantdivx: ubuntu-restricted extras installs gstreamer plugins so likely not, but last I remember mplayer played divx by default [07:41] hmm, i can't seem to run bash scripts either, [07:41] i know there was an ide that i had installed, but can't remember the name of it, and it doesn't appear in my application->programming menu [07:41] Jangari: What happens when you try? [07:41] 'command not found', though, i'm working on a remote server through ssh, and i don't have admin privs [07:42] What can I do to solve this compile problem in 804? checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.10.0... no [07:42] i can type the path to the script though, and that works [07:42] hi,all. ubuntu 8.04, bash,after "sudo -i" , the root can not perform auto completion for man or service. why?

Which file is it in [07:42] ? === nnull is now known as nnnulll [07:43] .profile? === nnnulll is now known as nnull [07:43] Jangari: In Ubuntu it should be there by default, if you just added the directory you may need to start a new shell or re-source .bashrc [07:44] Hey everyone, I have a Gateway MT3422 laptop running hardy heron (fully updated). When I try to wake from sleep mode, the screen backlight does come on and there's some HDD activity but the laptop never recovers. I've searched and found others with the same problem but haven't found a solution. There are no power saving options in the BIOS to modify. Has anyone heard of this problem before or run across a solution? [07:44] Jangari: If not then yes, in .profile [07:44] Hello people i need some PORT scanner ( example: i need to find the port of some ip address " 2.2.2.2" ) can somebody help me please ??? [07:45] what's the line I should add? === sixand is now known as [zh-CN]Sixand [07:45] Jangari: Did you try opening a new shell first? [07:46] Hello people i need some PORT scanner ( example: i need to find the port of some ip address " 2.2.2.2" ) can somebody help me please ??? [07:46] i have now, Jordan_U [07:46] tai [07:46] !patience | Guest90549 [07:46] Jangari: Is it working in the new shell? [07:46] Guest90549: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [07:46] no [07:46] can i upgrade to itrepidibex without an internet connection? [07:47] Jangari: Then the line is "export PATH=$PATH:~/bin" [07:47] I used 7.04 for a long time...and now I upgrade my computer a little. So I plan to upgrade my ubuntu, too. This time I want to install my system on programmatical RAID. Waht I need for this? I read I need alternative install CD or server CD. It leads to one more question: what is the difference between different Ubuntu images? [07:48] sweet, thanks Jordan_U, worked straight up [07:48] Jangari: np [07:48] Assargadon: The Server has no GUI if I'm not mistaken... you'd need to install it yourself. the Alternate just installs without a GUI but is a standard install. [07:49] cool, now all the scripts I run for audio processing and archive can be run - slightly more fast than before [07:49] jimmio: thanks [07:49] Assargadon: np [07:49] as far as I understand, I need to install software RAID durin partioning part of installation [07:50] !win32codecs [07:50] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [07:50] 2 hours 30 minutes and still linking. ugh. i need a new laptop. [07:50] so. if those installations are same, I can do it with standart install, too [07:50] is it correct? [07:50] Oh, one more question, is irc.ubuntu.org part of the freenode network? I'm trying to connect to freenode and I see my nick is already taken but it's fairly unique... [07:51] moonlitaura: Yes, it is [07:51] ah, k, thanks. Thought that was what was going on [07:51] Jordan_U: can I add a subdirectory to ~/bin and put my personal scripts there or should I use /usr/sbin or /usr/sbin? [07:51] how do you allow windows users on a home network to access a printer connected to a ubuntu machine? [07:51] thanks everyone, I'm taking this home to continue working on it. I'm going to get it to work! [07:51] exit [07:52] actually /usr/sbin == /usr/sbin xD [07:52] Assargadon: Yeah, I don't see why not... I have never used a RAID setup... so I can't help much. [07:52] lovinglinux: Why make a subdirectory, what's wrong with just putting them all in ~/bin ? [07:52] niuq: oops :-) [07:52] heh [07:53] jimmio: only "thanks" was directed to you personally. Next question was directed to all :) [07:54] Jordan_U: just to make it clear the ~/ path is the top level path where I can find bin, root and home right? I'm thinking about a subdirectory because what happens if some application I install have a file with the same name? [07:54] How can I disable alt from being used to drag windows? [07:54] If I hold alt and click+drag in any window it drags, I want to disable this. [07:54] Ok, another question. I heard a lot about kernel recompilation. They told, if you will recompile kernel especially for your machine and for your needs, it will increase everything possible to increase :) [07:54] Is it correct? [07:54] Kai_wp, ive seen that mentioned in some wine forums.. But not sure how its disabled.. except for fullscreen apps. === Raskall_ is now known as Raskall [07:55] Assargadon, if you know what are you doing [07:55] Does it mean sense to experiment wit it before my system becomes fulfilled with my data.... [07:55] lovinglinux: "~" is the same as /home/you , so there should be nothing which has files in /home/you/bin other than what you put there [07:55] Dr_willis: Well it seems to work in non-wine apps aswell. [07:55] Hmm,can I past my question a second time? ... hi,all. ubuntu 8.04, bash,after "sudo -i" , the root can not perform auto completion for man or service. why? [07:56] niuq: I feel I understand general idea. I'm skilled in IT and programming...but I not ever recompilate the kernel before. === mrglinu1 is now known as mrglinux [07:56] kiiwii: probably because root has completion turned off (or rather, not turned on) [07:56] /msg NickServ identify 792eyc281 [07:56] Kai_wp, ive seen it discussed in WINE forums.. its a feature of X/window managers Many wine users hate it.. [07:57] Kai_wp, i even have a tool for windows that enables the same alt-drag feature in windows. :) [07:57] Jordan_U: that was my mistake I was using the top level bin directory [07:57] Is there a gtk2.10 for 804? [07:57] Assargadon: you can rebuild your kernel at any time. whether you have data or not [07:57] Flannel, I have not change any .profile or .bashrc, just use them by default. [07:57] Assargadon, install a new version of kernel, keep the one you have, and mess with it xD, you system crash the you can just back over [07:57] Assargadon, if your** [07:57] HAL9000: 8.04 has 2.12 [07:57] kiiwii: .bashrc is *your* bash completion settings, not roots. [07:58] Assargadon, i'm sorry i always miss letters [07:58] Assargadon: it is possible to end up with a non-bootable system if you don't know what you're doing so be careful. but here's a quick tutorial: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1174954&postcount=507 [07:58] kiiwii: my /root/.bashrc has the completion bits commented out. [07:59] niuq, bobernet thanks [07:59] well, the possibility of crash a system is a reason I want to try it with new system installation [07:59] Assargadon: it's not a non-recoverable crash [08:00] as the very reserve, I have a possibility just reinstall it :) [08:00] Assargadon: A good tutorial for kernel compilation is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=311158 [08:00] Flannel, wow~, I see ：）thx Flannel. [08:00] bobernet: yes, I know - but it's possible my low skill in kernel manipulations can prevent me from successfull recovery :) [08:00] Assargadon: follow step by step and you'll be fine. :) [08:01] adam7, thanks, too [08:01] Jordan_U: if I use the top level bin it works, but if I put my script under /home/me/bin/ it doesn't [08:01] Assargadon, go ahead crash your system, it's pure fun [08:01] crdbl: trying to compile gcam and get an error"configure: error: GTK+ 2.10 or higher is required" [08:01] Assargadon: if you follow the link I gave you you can't really screw up :) [08:01] crdbl:Can you make any suggestions ? [08:01] bobernet, it maybe impossible to follow step-by-step. One possible way why it will be impossible - internet will be unavaliable during this period :) [08:01] lovinglinux: You may need to start a new shell after adding the ~/bin directory for the first time [08:01] lovinglinux, i recall having to add the users bin directory to the default paths in the .bashrc or .bash_profile [08:02] HAL9000: yes, ubuntu includes gtk, but not its development headers [08:02] lovinglinux, those chages will only take effect in newly spawned shells like Jordan_U said. [08:02] HAL9000: for that you want libgtk2.0-dev [08:02] niuq: thanks for your optimistic vision :) [08:03] crdbl: aah -dev thank you !!! [08:03] Dr_willis: do you mean closing and open a new terminal? [08:03] lovinglinux, i mean starting a new shell. :) thats one way to do it.. [08:03] а я тут сосиску в тесте ем ^..^ === co_emo is now known as cew_ml [08:04] Dr_willis: I stillneed to get used to the terminology. It doesn't work either [08:04] lovinglinux, run another terminal, logout back in, ssh in, or just resource the .bash_profile and .bashrc with '. .bashrc' [08:04] IoFF: И что - вкусная? [08:04] ага [08:04] lovinglinux, only 'login shells' read the .bash_profile I recall.. all shells read the .bashrc when they start [08:04] решил посфинячить [08:04] Dr_willis: I will try to logout and login. brb [08:05] * Assargadon was surprised when he buys his WiFi router. There are printed GPL in the pack :) [08:05] !ru | IoFF [08:05] IoFF: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [08:06] Flannel, i don`t need to help [08:06] I need a program to see TV ( get from internet) [08:06] IoFF: english only in this channel please [08:07] Flannel, ok, i understand [08:07] Dr_willis: I could have sworn there was something like if -d ~/bin then PATH=$PATH:~/bin in the default .bashrc for ubuntu [08:07] Jordan_U, Dr_willis: there is [08:07] Jordan_U, i got my own customized .bashrc and .bash_profile from ages ago.. so i have no clue whats 'default' [08:08] :D [08:08] One must rember that one is only read by login shells.. and the other is read by all bash shells starting [08:09] it's in the default .bash_profile [08:09] # set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists [08:09] if [ -d ~/bin ] ; then [08:09] PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}" [08:09] fi [08:09] bobernet: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:09] hoe to run and install VMWARE in ubuntu 8 [08:09] and thats the one only read by a 'login' shell. [08:09] at the end. I think it parses the .bashrc normally [08:10] Hi ppl [08:11] I want to find out other computers connected on my network [08:11] using nmap [08:11] a [08:12] ruby: you can try doing nmap -sP 192.168.0.*, which will tell you all computers that are up on the 192.168.0 subnet [08:13] is there a reset to default for appearance preferences in 8.04LTS [08:13] ? [08:13] Jordan_U: and Dr_willis, it works now thanks [08:13] lovinglinux: np [08:13] lovinglinux, Great! err... what works? i forgot.. [08:13] Where do I find the dsl-provider file? [08:13] Jordan_U: should I set the permissions of that folder too be writable by root only? [08:14] lovinglinux: No, it's only your user's [08:14] Dr_willis: the script folder after opening a new shell [08:14] Jordan_U: and why it doesn't work if the foilder is hidden? [08:15] lovinglinux, :) that 'advanced bash scripting guide' is worth reading some time also. to learn all about the .Whatever files. [08:15] Dr_willis: thanks [08:16] lovinglinux: There is a script which runs at login and looks specifically for ~/bin and adds it to your $PATH ( the list of directories to look in for executables ) but you can also add any other folder to your $PATH yourself [08:16] lovinglinux, technically its the 'bin directory' :) [08:17] I must have dozens of my own commands/tools in my bin. its about 40mb right now [08:17] Jordan_U: which file is that? [08:17] :D [08:18] Dr_willis: so, the script look for the ~/bin path and virtualize it as being just bin? [08:18] lovinglinux, the .bash_profile file [08:18] lovinglinux, looks for a bin directory and if its there.. it adds it to the end of the PATH for the user. [08:19] hello [08:19] no idea what you mean by 'virtualize' :) its a directory whos name gets added to the default PATH [08:19] Dr_willis: thanks I will look for it [08:19] is there a channel for the Wubi installer somehere? [08:19] How to scan network [08:19] is there documentation for installing ubuntu 8.04 via the alternate cd? [08:19] I want to know all computers on my network [08:19] rubydiamond, i use the nmap command to scan the network normally [08:19] i can only find 7.04 on the website [08:19] Dr_willis: what is the command options [08:19] nmap -sP 192.168.0.* [08:19] rubydiamond, someone mentioned it just earlier.. [08:19] :D [08:19] lovinglinux: You would add it to your ~/.profile, a line something like "PATH=$PATH:/your/directory/here" but be careful if you forget the $PATH: part you will have to enter the full path to commands ( like /bin/ls ) until you fix it [08:20] okay [08:20] that does a 'ping scan' of the whole 192.168.0.* network [08:20] you might want to put single quotes around that ip.* bit. [08:20] ehm... [08:20] ok thanx [08:20] Jordan_U, i though we discoverd it was in the default .bash_profile allready. [08:21] !away [08:21] You should avoid noisy away messages in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away " to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» [08:21] Dr_willis: what value do u use in nmap to see it run [08:21] TtyS2, value? Iuse the ip of my local lan. [08:21] ubuntu_: this is close: http://www.binonabiso.com/en/Ubuntu-miniRAM-HOWTO.html [08:21] TtyS2, i normally filter it a little bit with grep to make a nicer clean output [08:21] Dr_willis: He was asking why it didn't work when it was "hidden" so I assumed he had put a . in front of it and told him that it only looks for ~/bin exactly but he could add his own directories if he wanted [08:21] Dr_willis: Nmap done: 256 IP addresses (0 hosts up) scanned in 52.183 seconds [08:22] Dr_willis: I ran nmap -sP 192.168.104.* [08:22] rubydiamond: what is your machine's IP? [08:22] thanks bobernet [08:22] i'm reading that now [08:22] my machine ip is 192.168.1.101 [08:22] rubydiamond, perhaps you need to use YOUR correct ip address/mask? or no machines are replyng to pings.. [08:22] but i don't think thisreally applies to me [08:22] i have a recent laptop computer [08:22] rubydiamond, wrong ip then. You scanned the wan. not the local lan perhaps. [08:22] is there a way to do something similar to "sudo" in nautilus w/o going into terminal? [08:22] rubydiamond: then scan 192.168.1.* [08:23] honestly i shouldnt be having problems. i blame the installer [08:23] veyne: gksudo [08:23] Dr_willis: 192.168.104.* is the vpn network .. I want to scan it' [08:23] So you just scanned part of the isp :) [08:23] ubuntu_: why are you using the alternate installer unless you're trying to get a minimal base? [08:23] awessome [08:23] tyvm [08:23] i'm using the alternate installer because the Live installer doesnt work [08:23] bobernet: yeah but I want to know all computers in vpn network.. which is having ip range 192.168.104.* [08:23] the live installer crashes no matter what [08:24] rubydiamond, its possible the machines/firewall is blocking stuff.. I dont use vpn so cant advise much more then that. [08:24] the alternate installer stopped doing anything after "cleaning up" [08:24] rubydiamond: are you connected to the VPN? is there a firewall? etc [08:24] i.e. it froze at 100% [08:24] i think the base install is on the disk though [08:24] yeah.. bobernet there may be firewall.... how can i find that out... [08:25] ubuntu_, how long it been hanging at 'cleaning up' ? [08:25] well it got to 100% like i said [08:25] also I just want to ssh into my work machine.. which is having ip 192.168.104.138 [08:25] rubydiamond: ask the maintainer of the network. ;) [08:25] and then it stayed there for about 30 minutes at the least [08:25] hmm bobernet its little urgent [08:26] rubydiamond: can you ping your machine? [08:26] rubydiamond: how are you connecting to the vpn? [08:26] using openvpn client on mac [08:27] yeah ruby try doing nmap localhost and see if you get anthing out of that [08:27] rubydiamond: can you ping 192.168.104.138 ? [08:28] hi. for some reason firefox in ubuntu hardy 64 bit won't load [08:28] can anyone help me out? [08:28] maybe upgrade your ubuntu [08:28] pc|ipv6, run it from cli, what do you get for errors? [08:28] so bobernet do u have anymore advice? [08:29] kindofabuzz: nothing [08:29] nothing? you just get a prompt again? [08:29] ubuntu_: i wish i did. i know next to nothing about the ubuntu installer. i've been using debian for about 10 years. only use ubuntu on a couple laptops here at the house. [08:29] i see [08:29] does anyone here know anything about the ubuntu installer? [08:29] kindofabuzz: yep [08:29] i mean s*** it was almost done === _0id is now known as tee [08:30] bobernet: If you prefer Debian's installer go with the alternate CD [08:30] it's the same as the debian one, well the alt installer is [08:30] a lot of the files are on the drive [08:30] if not all of them [08:30] but i can't boot from it === tee is now known as t33x [08:30] Jordan_U: changing the .profile didn't worked very well :-) anyways, the scripts are working and that is what matters [08:30] ubuntu_: At what stage did it fail? [08:30] pc|ipv6, so when you type firefox into the terminal you get absolutly nothing? [08:30] it stopped after "cleaning up" [08:31] Jordan_U: truthfully - after this latest upgrade borked a system again, i'm done with ubuntu most likely. taking my new laptop back to lenny. [08:31] it finished "select and install software" [08:31] kindofabuzz: yep [08:31] when "cleaning up" reached 100% it did not prompt me to restart or anything like that [08:31] hung there for about a half hour or more [08:31] pc|ipv6, weird, you should get something, an error, not found, something! lol [08:31] ubuntu_: if it were me... i'd boot from knoppix or some other live CD, mount the disk and snoop around. is /boot valid? good /boot/grub/menu.lst? /etc/fstab? etc [08:31] ubuntu_: You can try chrooting in and installing grub [08:31] yeah i'm actually on a the Ubuntu livecd [08:31] doing just that [08:32] i'll check for those things [08:32] ubuntu_, try the alt cd [08:32] i'm looking in /boot right now [08:32] there are a few files in there [08:32] i had the same probelm with server, alt cd worked fine [08:32] ubuntu_: do you know how to chroot? [08:32] ubuntu_: Be sure to try a "dpkg --configure -a" from chroot [08:32] abi-2.6-generic, config-2.6 generic, initrd.img-generic [08:32] kindofabuzz: i loaded firefox in safe mode and it seems to work [08:32] a bunch of files like that [08:32] please explain this to me guys? [08:32] chroot? [08:33] pc|ipv6, firefox -safe-mode? [08:33] is chroot like sudo or something? [08:33] ubuntu_: chroot /mnt/my_hard_drive will make that directory / [08:33] ubuntu_: then you can run as if you had the hdd mounted at / [08:33] pc|ipv6, if it works in safe mode, then your problem is an addon or theme [08:33] ubuntu_: Do you see a file named /boot/grub/menu.lst ? [08:33] so what do you guys want me to do? [08:34] ubuntu_: check for menu.lst, as Jordan mentioned [08:34] there is no folder inside /boot called /grub [08:34] that's not good. [08:34] or menu.lst [08:34] two possibilities: grub is not installed, or /boot isn't mounted. is /boot entirely empty? [08:34] ubuntu_: Ok, then tell me where your install partition is mounted and I will give you a few commands to try [08:34] kindofabuzz: the only addon is the ubuntu firefox modifications thingy [08:35] where it's mounted/ [08:35] i think the name is sdb2 or something [08:35] pc|ipv6, any themes? [08:35] kevincody: In Ubuntu there is no separate /boot [08:35] Jordan_U, doesn't mean someone didn't get tinkery, unless it's a fresh install [08:35] Jordan_U: there can be if you don't let it auto-partition [08:35] kindofabuzz: nope [08:36] ubuntu_: Can you pastebin the output from "mount" in a terminal [08:36] just type in "mount"? [08:36] türkçe bilen varmıs [08:36] ubuntu_: Yes [08:36] ses sorunum varda [08:36] alright [08:36] is pastie ok?

Nautilus tells me in "Properties" that there is about 5 GB free on the disk, but I can't save anything anywhere in the home-folder or on the desktop. Also, I have three other NTFS-partitions where I'd like to save stuff like music, movies and such, but I only get permission to read from the partitions, not write to those. How can I solve these two problems? [08:41] can anyone recommend some software for .avi>DVD? === efsq is now known as efsq_ [08:42] Jordan_U: hold on one second tyringit out now [08:42] Markussss: PM? [08:42] Gnea, that's mean...

I know if I change the window background color they'll change, but then, ofcourse, my window background color changes too. :( [08:43] Jordan_U: it says it can't find /proc/media/disk/proc [08:43] never attribute to malice what can be explained by ignorance [08:43] how should connect to another server using xirchat? [08:43] * Kai_wp wants to change the color of the boxes since it clashes with the background color of the bottom bar. [08:43] help [08:43] good morning [08:43] how should i connect to another server using xirchat? [08:44] how can i know which version of ubuntu i have [08:44] Smurfslover: lsb_release -a [08:44] ./server blabab.blabl.bla 6667 <-- i cant if like this [08:44] ubuntu_: You missed a space ( or I did ), did you just copy and paste the command? [08:44] how do I set the Label of my External Hard Drive? [08:44] BunTai - try /server irc.whatever.com:6667 [08:45] ok [08:45] thx Gnea [08:45] Jordan_U: i tried it again [08:45] zethero1, what filesystem? i normally use 'tune2fs' to set ones for ext3/2 fs's [08:45] Jordan_U: it did something this time [08:45] anyone here write glib-based c code when they're not pitching in on user support? [08:45] ubuntu_: You are now at a shell where you can run commands on your installed system, the first I would try would be "dpkg --configure -a" ( it likely will just do nothing and exit immediately but it's a good thing to try to be safe ) [08:45] i wanna use vmware any suggestions pls? [08:46] anything I can use to record the output of my audio card? In Windows, there's a WhatUHear... [08:46] Jordan_U: i don't know what but it did something, now the prompt is "root@ubuntu" [08:46] oh ok cool [08:46] hi folk [08:46] I have a problem.. [08:46] amanulla: uhmmm... use it? What type of suggestions are you looking for? [08:46] Dr_willis, well right now its in ntfs .... but I am wondering if I should have it in another format ... [08:46] NigelS_, we can't help you with empty kegs... ;) [08:46] sorry that was for Night_XX [08:46] i don't think dpkg --configure -a did anything [08:46] how to install it? [08:46] Dr_willis, but I suppose I'll just keep it to ntfs === efsq is now known as efsq_ [08:46] zethero1, depends on what you are going to do with it i guess? [08:46] amanulla - that isn't really a suggestion... [08:47] every time I try to boot a custom kernel I receive this: run-init: nuking initramfs contents: Directory not empty [08:47] now im using xp+ubuntu 8.04 dual boot [08:47] amanulla - have you tried finding a repository with it and using apt-get install ? [08:47] Dr_willis, just store data ... movies etc .... shared on the network [08:47] no [08:47] Dr_willis: is there a format that is particularly performant? [08:47] i first chat with program{opera}plz help me [08:47] and then a kernel panic that says something like this "attempting to kill init process" [08:47] i dont know how to install [08:47] ubuntu_: Ok, I don't really remember how to install grub so bear with me ( and you might consider just re-installing, it's almost certainly easier :) [08:47] what's wrong?? [08:47] amanulla - man apt-get [08:47] zethero1, I tend to set up my samba shares to use ext3. You could use ntfs I imagine.. or ntfs-3g [08:48] before i install i need how it will be after installtion [08:48] help me [08:48] do i have to face any problems? [08:48] ubuntu_: You can try "apt-get install grub" but I am pretty sure that alone won't do it [08:48] amanulla - we can't predict the future. [08:48] :( [08:48] Dr_willis, amanulla, for whatever it's worth, xfs is also popular on large samba shares [08:48] Dr_willis, ntfs-3g? [08:48] noone can help me? [08:48] chat with me [08:48] Jordan_U: what's the point of reinstalling when there's a good chance the installer will just crash again? [08:48] amanulla: You can get a pretty good idea from the liveCD [08:48] farid: what is your question? [08:49] ubuntu_: grub-install or setup at the grub prompts [08:49] Jordan_U:what idea? [08:49] wols how should i do that? [08:49] !ntfs-3g | zethero1 [08:49] zethero1: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [08:49] kevincody:what is xfs? [08:49] wols: how should i do grub-install is a better question actually [08:49] wols_: Will that also generate the menu.list ( this is a failed install he is trying to get working ) [08:49] nothing [08:49] amanulla, i think ibm developed it. a unix filesystem, different under the hood than ext3, but similar in usage [08:49] plz chat with me [08:50] Jordan_U: update-grub will to a degree [08:50] ubuntu_: There is an alternate ( text menu based ) installer that will likely not have the same problem [08:50] farid this is not the chat channel [08:50] !ot | farid [08:50] farid: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [08:50] farid this is ubuntu support. [08:50] Jordan_U: i used the text menu based installer [08:50] ubuntu_: how to do it depends on yourpartition layout [08:50] Dr_willis, ah yes .... so as it being NTFS ... how can I set the label... cause right now it just has some generic name to the mounted volume [08:50] i cant understand whats ur mean? [08:50] amanulla, use virtualbox. it is in the repos. sudo apt-get install virtualbox [08:50] wols: well here is my partition layout: http://pastie.org/263022 [08:50] finally what i need is to acees xp from ubuntu with out rebooting [08:51] zethero1, i would set it in windows..if you really need to set the label.. if you want to set it up as a sama share you will want to mount it from fstab. so the label wont matter [08:51] farid what is your native language [08:51] im running both xp,ubuntu8 dual boot now [08:51] FAJALOU chat with me [08:51] farid not here. [08:51] amanulla - you can mount the NTFS partition if you want to read/write files to the XP partition. [08:51] wols: /media/disk is the / partition [08:51] !tell amanulla about ntfs3g [08:51] and /media/disk-1 is the /home partition [08:51] amanulla, please see my private message [08:51] Dr_willis: I usually just share the folders I want to share manually .... [08:51] im here [08:51] my loungouge persian [08:52] zethero1, err.. thats still using samba.. depends on the specifics i guess.

[08:53] koja type konam [08:53] wols_: That was a paste I asked him to make before getting him chrooted [08:53] amanulla: you can't [08:53] bazhang to farsi baladi [08:53] irani nist [08:53] zethero1, err.. if you have no windows at all.. then why use ntfs at all? set up nfs for MUCH faster 'shares' then samba will do. [08:53] !ir | farid [08:53] wols_:so for what is vmware? [08:53] farid: #ubuntu-ir baraye Farsi zabanan mibashad ke channele rasmie goroohe Iran-ie ubuntu ast. #ubuntu-ir برای فارسی زبانان می‌باشد که کانال رسمی گروه ایرانی اوبونتو است. [08:53] amanulla - you can potentially install wine and run those Windows apps from within Linux. If you install VMWare its going to build a virtual machine... not quite the same as booting both partitions at the same time. :) [08:53] farid: stop talking farsi. this is an english ONLY channel. join ubuntu-ir [08:54] ok [08:54] Does anyone know how to change the color of the blocks in the bottom bar without changing your windows' background color? http://aspergercolony.com/Blocks.png < These blocks :P [08:54] why icant speak persian at room [08:54] mindrape:what is wine? [08:54] farid, this is a english room. for starters. [08:54] wols_ and Jordan_U got any ideas? [08:54] ok [08:54] amanulla: wine is not an emulator [08:54] i understand [08:54] farid - English. For your language there is a very specific channel for it. Read what people tell you. [08:55] !wine | amanulla [08:55] amanulla: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [08:55] Dr_willis, well ... there are instances where may have to plug it into someones Windows machine ... heh [08:55] Dr_willis , what is nfs? [08:55] zethero1, there are tools that lets windows read/write ext2/3 filesystems. :) [08:55] !nfs > zethero1 [08:55] zethero1, please see my private message [08:55] btw when i tried to do apt-get install grub it told me to "media change" insert ubuntu 8.04 hardy heron disk... [08:55] can i install wine in ubuntu easily? [08:55] amanulla, yes [08:56] which doesnt make much sense because i'm running the ubuntu 8.04 live cd right now [08:56] zethero1, a better way to share 'files' between unix/linux machines then samba [08:56] amanulla - pull up a command line and type man apt-get [08:56] !apt-get | amanulla [08:56] amanulla: 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) [08:56] ubuntu_: Remember, you are running these commands from your installed system [08:56] Hi :). I am trying to run this command: awk '{print $6 $7 $8;}' 20080829.log [08:56] it gives error: awk: cannot open 20080829.log (Value too large for defined data type) [08:57] mindrape:then what to do? [08:57] Dr_willis, what about reiserfs? [08:57] amanulla - read. [08:57] Jordan_U: so what should i try? [08:57] hey does any1 here know how to solve a problem with Ubunutu 8.04 involing Login screen flickering? [08:57] how to fix it? [08:57] Dr_willis: I heard it was really good ... but then some ppl say its not so good ... [08:57] yea [08:57] zethero1, what about it.. :) go research it.. I dont think it will benifit you at all. [08:57] how to fix it [08:57] zethero1, use ext3 [08:57] amanulla - ever hear the saying "Give a man a fish and teach him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime." ? [08:57] no [08:58] what? where you been? [08:58] amanulla - we can sit here and walk you through the very basics of package management and Ubuntu. There is a little bit of work on your end that you have to do (ie; READING) [08:58] zethero1: the development of reiserfs has stopped for the time being due to hans reiser's imprisonment [08:58] what does it mean? [08:58] mindrape, a bit of a typo in there... :) [08:58] think about it [08:58] zethero1: you aren't married are you? [08:58] ok [08:58] leo_away, you serious?> [08:58] amanulla - it means that if we just give you answers you will be back every day for answers. If we teach you how to find answers you wont be back to ask basic questions that are obvious and very easy to find. [08:58] zethero1: he killed his wife [08:58]  LSD|Ninja, why? [08:58] means if you actully learn to fish you can feed yourself instead of someone feeding you [08:58] any1 knwo how to fix meine probliem? [08:58] leo_away, that is not important here [08:59] ubuntu_: run "nano /etc/apt/sources.lst" it should open a text file in a terminal based editor [08:59] Linux Tip #1 - 'learn how to learn' :) [08:59] ok im new to ubuntu before i used xp [08:59] leo_away, WHAT? ... [08:59] be willing to learn [08:59] zethero1: reiserfs is fine until you come home and discover your wife missing. No wife, no problem :) [08:59] !ot [08:59] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [08:59] i hope i will learn what you say [08:59] thank u [08:59] bazhang: i was telling him about reiserfs not being developed anymore, i think it makes sense to explain why [08:59] amanulla - that is fine. Maybe you should go to ubuntu.com and read the beginners manual first to get some bearings? [08:59] I am trying to run this command: awk '{print $6 $7 $8;}' 20080829.log . it gives error: awk: cannot open 20080829.log (Value too large for defined data type) [08:59] take offtopic elsewhere [08:59] LSD|Ninja, ugh [09:00] zethero1: it is a good filesystem but unless someone decides to continue developing then it won't improve over time [09:00] Jordan_U: should i do that from the chrooted shell? [09:00] i think there is a reiser2 [09:00] Jordan_U: also, i just did that from the chrooted shell and the file seemed more or less empty [09:00] thats what she said [09:00] or 3? [09:00] lol [09:00] lol [09:01] !lol > Boon [09:01] Boon, please see my private message [09:01] kamoljan, you might want to check an awk tutorial.. sonmthing looks wrong about that line.. but i aint awk'ed in years... sounds like its trying to load the .log as a script [09:01]  Dr_willis, so there is no way in Ubuntu to set the Label to an NTFS drive? [09:01] ubuntu_: Are there any commented lines? ( or just pastebin it ) [09:01] oh yeah no laughing allowed in this room =( [09:01] zethero1, proberly is.. there ntfstools in the repos..

[09:02] Dr_willis: yes, it is for take uniq IP from access.log file [09:02] yeah gparted you can set labels [09:02] Jordan_U there is a sources.list.d [09:02] but no sources.lst [09:02] also there is a sources.list [09:03] and there is tons of crap in the sources.list [09:03] kamoljan, shouldent the log/data get piped to the awk script? to help much more id have to go find a awk tutoruial/examples [09:03] Anyone know why I can see networks, but when I join nothing happens? [09:03] Dr_willis, cannot find ntfstools in the repos [09:03] so can any1 help me with Ubuntu 8.04 problem? pm me [09:03] ubuntu_, put to paste.ubuntu.com [09:03] Where would I look to see what's happening? [09:03] zethero1, i wouls day check the package manager search for 'ntfs' [09:03] greenman: logs [09:03] Boon, just ask in here, that's what this channel is for [09:03] zethero1, or search for ntfslabel [09:03] wols_: which ones? I'm not sure where to look. [09:03] !find ntfslabel [09:03] bazhang: this is fmike from yesterday, just so ya know. [09:03] File ntfslabel found in ntfsprogs [09:04] Dr_willis: ok, I will try [09:04] Dr_willis, there is ntfsprogs [09:04] ubuntu_, what was your issue again? [09:04] zethero1, sounds like a winner... [09:04] linux tip #1 - after learnign to learn... learn to think :) [09:04] bazhang: last night my issue was that the livecd installer wasn't working [09:04] Dr_willis, ntfslabel ... not there [09:04] oops thats #2 heh. [09:04] now my issue is that the text based installer didn't complete installing [09:04] learn to spell learning Dr_willis =) [09:04] zethero1, File ntfslabel found in ntfsprogs [09:05] kindofabuzz, thats what spellcheckers are for [09:05] bazhang and Jordan_U : http://pastie.org/263031 [09:05] Dr_willis, ok... so this would be done then through a Terminal ... [09:05] zethero1, they are command line tools.. correct. [09:05] Rhythembox: does the last.fm plugin, remember everything you listen to, while offline, and update it to the site...or only the songs from last time you run it, and restarts every time it closes [09:06] mindrape, thanks for that link ...! [09:06] Kiyiko, sounds like a bug. [09:06] lol [09:06] its not an issue......... [09:06] its a general question [09:07] I get a link becomes ready and then duplicate address detected. I've never had a problem with dhcp before. [09:07] while offline, does it remember everything you listen to, or restart, every time you open the program [09:07] Kiyiko, you have not tried yet? [09:07] Kiyiko, i think you have to be online for it to work, i don't think it's even 'on' until you're online [09:07] well.......... [09:07] one time i was offline [09:07] and it stored it [09:07] at band camp? === eric is now known as Guest2776 [09:08] it may do so, dunno [09:09] did everyone who was helping me leave/ [09:10] anyone know why firefox would show up in firestarter instead of firefox-bin ?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [09:11] mnowluck: its a pastebin, so you don't flood the channel [09:11] Oh okay thanks [09:12] can we play .wmv files in windows === wil_ is now known as wil [09:12] amanulla, in windows? [09:12] wmv is windows [09:12] amanulla, playing a file depends on the codec of the file... not really its extension [09:12] there are in fact wmv files you can play in windows that cannot yet be played in linux. [09:12] quick question, how do i get my external hard drives to show up? [09:12] ya sorry in ubuntu [09:13] Friendly_hazard: USB? [09:13] bazhang: did you come up w/ anything new? [09:13] amanulla, some yes, some not [09:13] can we play .wmv files in ubuntu [09:13] there are in fact wmv files that contain viruses.. :) or are in codecs that try to auto-download nasty stuff on your windows box also [09:13] amanulla - yes with mplayer or vlc. [09:13] amanulla, depends on the specific codec of the wmv file. [09:13] I want to install Windows XP inside my UBUNTU at home.. so what virtual machine do you suggest I should use? [09:13] mmmm... don't you just LOVE MS? :) [09:13] vlc is really good [09:13] mnowluck, virtualbox has gotten very good. [09:13] <_numbers_> ms = shyt [09:13] but i can hear only sound but no video on vlc [09:14] mindrape yes [09:14] Thanks Dr_willis :) [09:14] Have a nice day... [09:14] ubuntu_, disable the cdrom as a source [09:14] amanulla, then you proberly need to install the proper codec packages [09:14] how can i? [09:14] yea [09:14] !w32codecs [09:14] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [09:14] bazhang should i comment it out? [09:14] amanulla, install the w32codecs package from the medibuntu repository see the bot url it just gave [09:14] * SplItz is away: I'm busy [09:15] !away > SplItz [09:15] SplItz, please see my private message [09:15] ubuntu_, cli gskudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and put a # in front of it then save and sudo apt-get update and try again [09:15] mindrape yes i use usb [09:16] hi all. I want to create an hidden folder that, even discovered by someone using my login, could be listed only if the password is provided again. Idem: the files inside need the same treatment. Note: i'm the only user, hence i've the root passsword [09:16] Friendly_hazard - well you can lspci and dmesg and see if they are loaded as well as lsmod [09:16] ok i just put the # in front of it [09:16] bazhang; now i shoulddo 'sudo apt-get update'? [09:16] ubuntu_, now save and update [09:16] uhhh wut? [09:16] i saved it [09:16] Dr_willis: where i s url? [09:16] ok i just did sudo apt-get update [09:16] Friendly_hazard - you plug them in and they dont get recognized I take it? [09:16] amanulla, the bot printed it out a few lines above where i replied [09:16] now it's done updateing [09:17] pretty much [09:17] ubuntu_, that should fix it [09:17] !medibuntu | amanulla [09:17] amanulla: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [09:17] mindrape pretty much [09:17] Friendly_hazard - Friendly_hazard well plug one in and turn it on and try typing lspci at a commandline then dmesg [09:17] bazhang: i'm trying to install grub now [09:17] seems to be working [09:17] use SHIFT + PGUP to scroll up through the output. [09:17] it should give an error if there are issues. [09:17] bazhang it's done installing grub, what now? [09:18] how do I resize a NTFS partition in GParted? [09:18] if not then run lsmod and see if it maybe isn't loading the right modules... [09:18] Hello [09:18] my question above sounds so easy to answer... unlkely there is no one who can.. [09:18] ubuntu_, installing grub? what do you mean? can you not boot from a dual boot one os? [09:18] <_numbers_> wish i didnt have to use sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/files/* to empty the trash :/ [09:18] so bye all [09:18] well i can't boot from the drive right now [09:19] i don't know why [09:19] the installation didn't complete [09:19] ubuntu_, what error does it give you [09:19] quatar-it: Try using GPG to encrypt them. Regular permissions won't help against your own user (or a liveCD, etc) [09:19] anything specific i should be looking for? [09:19] i got a large amount of text\ [09:19] bazhang, it finished installing programs and stuff, but when it was done cleaning up, it just stopped there [09:19] it hung at 100% finished [09:19] _numbers_, dont type that command here [09:19] flannel: can't i make root the owner of that file? [09:20] i have a few files in my /boot folder [09:20] not sure what they do [09:20] what's the md5 checker command? [09:20] flannel: so, as when i run an apt-get, it will ask for a password? [09:20] ubuntu_, you are on live cd now? [09:20] md5sum [09:20] quatar-it: You don't have the 'root' password, you use sudo, but sure, if you wanted to chown them to root, although that seems sort of odd. [09:20] k thnks [09:20] yea bazhang i'm on livecd [09:20] <_numbers_> bazhang is that cmd a bad thing to use ? [09:21] _numbers_, you know it is. dont discuss here. [09:21] Any body got and knowledge on TV tuners? Are they hard to set up? [09:21] <_numbers_> you know it is? no i didnt actually [09:21] ubuntu_, when you boot from hdd what error do you get [09:21] mindrape anything specific i should be looking for? [09:21] Flannel: i'll try gpg, ok. is third party? [09:21] party's? [09:21] Friendly_hazard - anything that looks like your USB storage device... [09:21] how would you tell someone to delete stuff other than that command? [09:21] quatar-it, no is in repos [09:21] Flannel, hey man, long time no chat [09:22] i dont really get an error bazhang [09:22] it just didn't work, and it booted into windows [09:22] quatar-it: Its likely already installed. What are you trying to do? That might not be the best way, although it would work. [09:22] when i partitioned, i set the bootable flag [09:22] kindofabuzz, you cd to the directory and do it there. [09:22] mindrape Last time i installed ubuntu, i stumbled across an option to have them on my desktop but i dont remember what i did [09:22] flannel: so.. how to?? i don't know where to start.. [09:23] i already have an hidden folder [09:23] quatar-it, just because it has a . in the name dosent really make it hidden ya know? [09:23] can i put it under gpg using nautilus? need shell? [09:24] Dr_willis: i'm here to ask how to make it really hidden and protected! [09:24] quit [09:24] quatar-it: Is this an oft-used folder? or more of a stored for later sort of thing? or what? [09:24] quatar-it, use some of the 'fuse' encrypted filesystem tools is one way to somthing like that. [09:24] Does anyone know how to change the color of the blocks in the bottom bar without changing your windows' background color? http://aspergercolony.com/Blocks.png < These blocks :P [09:25] Kai_wp - it all depends on your window manager... that option might not be available. [09:25] Kai_wp - you using KDE or Gnome? If so it might make sense to ask in those respective channels. [09:25] Kai_wp, looks like you are refering to the panel background colors [09:25] ubuntu_, so you can boot successfully? what is the error message if not. [09:25] Flannel: often used [09:25] is there a command to list incoming/outgoing connections? [09:25] there is no error message [09:25] Kai_wp - this is more of an operating system support channel, not so much around specific configuration issues around daemons or window managers.. ie; if you want mysql or apache help go to those channels. [09:25] instead of booting to ubuntu [09:25] it just boots to windows [09:25] Dr_willis: Ah, I thought there was a name for them. I suppose I'll ask in #Gnome then. :) [09:25] which command is used to check kennel version [09:26] Kai_wp: if you use gnome, then edit the panel.rc of your theme [09:26] uname -ar [09:26] hi a friend's login is saying that there is no $HOME directory, so it logs in with /, how can this be fixed? [09:26] ubuntu_, windows was installed second? [09:26] quatar-it: Well, you'll be happy to know this feature will be standard on installs in intrepid, although that doesn't really help you now. [09:26] mindrape Last time i installed ubuntu, i stumbled across an option to have them (externals) on my desktop but i dont remember what i did [09:26] FAJALOU, make a /home/UsersName and chown it to be owned by the user. [09:26] bazhang: windows isn't even on the same drive [09:26] also, i was using the one-time boot menu [09:26] Dr_willis: how can this be created? [09:26] from bios [09:26] Friendly_hazard - well there is probably a daemon you can run that will watch for them then mount them for Gnome and KDE respectively. [09:26] guys could you help me with this well if any one tries to access my home page it go to my router thats horrible right it was perfectly working till i reinstalled mysql http://tv.kicks-ass.org or http://tv.kicks-ass.org/index.html its properly port forwarded i guess i even port forwarded it yesterday to port 80 but it let me on 8080 as port 80 was in use mine is an asdl2 router [09:26] ubuntu_, dual boot yea or nay [09:26] FAJALOU, its just a directory you make same as any other directory. [09:27] mkdir /home/Markus ? [09:27] FAJALOU, sudo mkdir /home/theusername [09:27] well it depends on the definition of dual boot [09:27] windows is on a different drive than ubuntu [09:27] mindrape: anything simpler? [09:27] FAJALOU, lowercase i imagine [09:27] ubuntu_, good luck then [09:27] ok [09:27] also, windows was installed first [09:27] Friendly_hazard: try this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-443791.html [09:27] is eth1 used for wireless or? [09:27] ubuntu_, /msg ubottu grub on how to fix that [09:28] quit [09:28] nnull - sudo iwconfig will show you the wireless interface [09:28] ok bazhang [09:28] mindrape, i have no wireless hardware tho? [09:28] nnull - it can vary... eth1, wlan0, etc. [09:28] nnull - then you will probably just see lo... [09:28] <_numbers_> ubuntu_ if windows was installed first and you install ubuntu on second drive just install the grub at end of install to boot either ubuntu or windows [09:28] loopback? [09:28] yup. [09:29] just in firestarter theres no LAN, its all running thru eth0 [09:29] Dr_willis: it says that /home/markus already exists... so i told him to chown it and chmod it with 700 is that correct? [09:30] FAJALOU: it might make sense to ls -al the directory and see who the owner and group are... [09:30] you may have to chown it. [09:30] on boot, my hard drives are switched around in grub... after modifying hdX,Y and getting grub to boot up, fdisk and grub both show the correct drive number... what could cause the mixup at boot up (grub menu)? [09:30] FAJALOU, sounds about right.. not sure on the mode. [09:30] mindrape: nvm i just replugged them in and now its showing up [09:30] thanks [09:30] Dr_willis: i think that 700 is right... [09:30] !selinux [09:30] SELinux is available on Ubuntu, but not officially supported. Ubuntu uses another security framework by default, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [09:30] Dr_willis: pm? [09:31] bazhang; i don't think this ubottu thing is going to help me much [09:31] agent, you could have your hard drives booting in the wrong order in your BIOS, it happened to me before [09:31] FAJALOU, do a ls -l and look at the owner/permissions I guess [09:31] Dr_willis: he's logging back in and then out, so he will be back in a second,,, [09:31] FAJALOU: all that matters is that it's 7-something. 700 is fine unless you want other users to be able to access files in your home directory (wometimes that's needed) [09:33] kindofabuzz, possibly... but i do have the physically first drive boot first, which is also the drive that has my two operating systems.. so booting that first is correct (i think) [09:33] agent, my problem was i kept getting OS not found, switched boot order and BIOS and it worked, just a thought [09:34] <_numbers_> kindofabuzz yeah that can happen after a fresh install [09:34] kindofabuzz, ok... will try that thanks :) [09:35] <_numbers_> swap drive order in bios will most likely help you agent [09:36] Er, where would I ask a question specificly about gnome then? [09:36] probably in #gnome [09:36] <_numbers_> lol [09:36] Kai_wp, here or #gnome [09:36] or #gtk if you want a developer [09:36] can console-kit-daemon be killed? ive got like 25 of them running for some reason [09:36] pretty much any process can be killed. [09:37] why not just ask here? gnome is more on topic than alot of questions that are asked here [09:37] kill -15 first then if it wont die you can murder it with kill -9 [09:37] ps aux | grep "console" [09:37] get the PID and kill that. [09:38] mindrape, i know HOW to kill it, wondering if its being used by something that will cause ill effects upon me closing it :s [09:38] nnull, you could restart the service.. that will ask it to close nicely and restart. [09:38] nnull - well I imagine if multiple processes are needed (similar to apache) you can kill 1 off and the manager daemon will re-spawn new ones as necessary [09:38] if its a service... :) [09:39] I've only got 1 running nnull... [09:39] maybe you have zombies? [09:39] just wondering why ive got 25+ in the first place, ive googled, some others have this problem but no responses for them [09:39] why can't i install grub on my drive? [09:40] i'm getting the error "sdb2 doesn't have any corresponding BIOS drive" [09:40] ubuntu_, could be the /boot/grub/device.map has a invalid entry for sdb err.. you normally DONT put grub on sdb2. but on the mbr of the drive (ie sdb) [09:41] nnull: from what I have gathered in googling for it in the past is that it does serve a purpose but it's not critical, you should be able to safely disable it if it's giving you problems. [09:41] hmm [09:41] well i put in "/sbin/grub-install /dev/sdb" [09:41] and that's the error i got [09:41] its not giving me problems, just looks scary in htop lol [09:41] nnull: hehehe, I can understand that. [09:42] ubuntu_: no device.map entry [09:42] nnull: I would leave it alone unless it's actually causing problems, though [09:42] ubuntu_, you could do a 'sudo fdisk -l' and see what drives are there/seen could be they got reorganized. also [09:42] each one is using 0.1% of my ram tho :O :F [09:42] i think wolds_ is right on this one [09:42] yea agreed i guess :x [09:42] wols_ do you mind if i message you? [09:42] yes [09:43] ok sorry [09:43] ubuntu_: what is your sda? [09:43] how to enable hipernate option in my system? [09:43] sda has windows on it, that's all [09:43] ubuntu_: you still need to install grub to its MBR [09:44] ok [09:44] is this a "safe" thing to do? [09:44] i don't want to jeopardize the files on that drive [09:44] grub needs to be installed on the first disk's MBR. the one BIOS boots from [09:45] wols_ i think i understand, but i'm just wondering is this safe to do if i haven't backed up my files on that drive? [09:45] hey dudes - what's a good package for editing simple avi files? Just want to edit some videos of our daughter to put them on flickr for the relatives [09:45] nothing is ever safe. and if you haven't backed up a file. this file is not important [09:45] either you have backups or you can afford to lose it [09:45] yeah i can't afford to lose my windows install right now [09:46] ubuntu_: do you have a backup? [09:46] i have a backup hard drive but i havent backed up windows yet [09:46] I see kino, openmovieeditor, and some gstreamer thing .... pitivi, avidemux [09:46] `then you lied. you can afford to lose ALL your data [09:46] i've been worried about getting ubuntu to work [09:46] ubuntu_: there is a command to restore the mbr for windows that you can run from windows (like a windows boot disk), so is it safe, I would say so, but I won't take responsibility if you try it and loose your files. [09:46] ubuntu_: un backuped data is worthless as shown by lack of backup [09:47] Hi [09:47] so is it possible to dual boot without installing GRUB, or no? [09:47] you can use whatever boot loader you want. [09:47] yes but youd need a boot manager [09:47] ubuntu_, you could use lilo. or some other multi-boot loader [09:47] ubuntu_: to dual boot you need some sort of boot manager that can handle it, be it grub or lilo or something else. [09:48] super grub disk! [09:48] i want to enable hipernate option in ubuntu what to do? [09:48] alright might as well take the risk [09:48] is that like hibernating but more quickly? [09:48] hi [09:48] <_numbers_> ubuntu_ unless you want to go into bios on every reboot then yes [09:48] ubuntu_: I do highly recommend backing up any important files you have, just to be safe. [09:49] amanulla: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/hibernate-ubuntu-355177/ [09:50] pajamian, my files aren't important because i didn't back them up [09:50] therefore i should not back them up [09:50] 'logical captian' [09:50] <_numbers_> lol [09:50] it's like hibernating after 5 lattes [09:50] hipernating [09:50] makes one wonder why you had any files in the first place. [09:50] <_numbers_> lmao [09:50] dr willis that's a good point [09:50] i think i'm going to delete my files [09:51] that way i won't have to worry about whether or not they are destroyed by some accident [09:51] ubuntu_, thats safest! just take the whole PC to theyard and bury it! [09:51] sorry [09:51] not a bad plan Doc! [09:51] be back when i get a new computer! [09:51] hahaha [09:52] 'rocks and boulders will be fine' [09:52] Anyone know of an IRC channel for C or GTK+ programming ? [09:52] Dr_willis: if i run the one-time boot menu from BIOS, then select the drive with Ubuntu installed, it should load ubuntu right? [09:52] as long as the drive has the bootable flag [09:52] if it tells me ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode because it cant detect my screen or video card correctly, does that mean i need to reinstall video card drivers? [09:52] ubuntu_, normally one has grub on the booting drive also. [09:52] On my Ubuntu, I don't have access to /home, so I can't login or anything. Is there anyone who know how such a problem may be fixed? [09:52] ubuntu_, ive done it that way befor to keep windows/linux totally seperte [09:52] Any body got any experince on using a tv tuner. I think I have mine installed right but I am not sure how to use it. [09:52] ckyle, there is a ##c channel on this net, but it's not a particularly benign place for newbies. [09:53] so that should work? [09:53] then damn, my install is fcked up! [09:53] ubuntu_, i still had grub on the 2nd hd. [09:53] doc, now you're confusing me [09:53] where u using grub, or where u using the one-time boot menu? [09:53] ubuntu_, i would seelct hd2 in the bios boot screen.. it booted loading grub... which then loaded linux [09:53] hi [09:54] i need some help [09:54] hey guys, i need some help setting up my second monitor.. i cant get the res above 640x480, and the screen looks cropped at the moment so i cant see the bar at the bottom [09:54] ubuntu_ lets keep it G rated.

[10:44] jeeves__: you start gparted up and use the resize option [10:44] ya Ziroday [10:45] hey, how to clear out downloaded packages from apt? [10:45] Ziroday, I launch it (sudo gparted), I can see the partition, but the resize function is greyed out [10:45] newbie: http://lifehacker.com/software/linux-tip/gently-restart-a-frozen-system-298891.php [10:45] thank you ziroday [10:46] jeeves__: are you on the livecd? [10:46] vassler, do you have any removable devices (such as USB drives) attached to your computer?

[10:49] Ziroday, thanks. I'm trying to recover some space from my 100Gb partition, and parition magic is being a typical windows program [10:49] jokkaa, or use the gui tools.. or install/use the 'unp' command [10:49] how do i make vlc the default player for firefox? [10:49] can somebody help me with LAMP please ? [10:49] Hey guys, is wine or qemu better for running an x86 application under ppc ubuntu? [10:50] i installed it yesterday, but i can't go to http://localhost/ i have this: "The requested URL / was not found on this server." [10:50] Rakeer, i dident think wine worked on ppc. [10:50] Rakeer, wine is for running single apps.. qemu runs the whole os. [10:50] but i can go to those folders http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ and http://localhost/manual but not to the others [10:50] i don't know why.. can somebody help me please ? [10:50] jeeves__: did you unmount your ntfs filesystem after last shutdown from it? [10:50] Dr_willis, qemu has some other mode to allow running apps from one arch on another, without running another OS inside it. [10:51] oliver3, thats a neat trick. [10:51] Dr_willis, indeed it is [10:51] :D [10:51] oliver3, not seen that done/mentioned much. I tend to just use virtualbox these days [10:51] oliver3: even if i select to empty trash, the trash icon doesn't change as to let me know the trash has been deleted. do you understand what i'm asing? [10:51] vassler, I do [10:51] vassler, there is likely trash somewhere which it can't access [10:52] !trash [10:52] The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [10:52] Ziroday, the NTFS is the root windows partition, and yes, it was shut down properly. I can access it from Ubuntu [10:52] If runnign the file managers as root. often you get 'root owned' trash ive seen [10:52] Dr Willis: Oh...what OS's can I emulate on ppc? MacOSX possibly? [10:52] Rakeer, err.. i have os-x on my old imac ppc. :) [10:53] can somebody help me with LAMP please ? [10:53] I never have gotten linux working well on my ppc imac. [10:53] Dr_willis: I don't think I want to install OSX on my PS3 just to run 1 x86 app :P [10:53] nyvhax, what's the problem? [10:53] oliver3: this only happens when i freshly install ubuntu 8.04.1 and then select to install updates. [10:53] !anyone| nyvhax [10:53] nyvhax: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [10:53] Dr_willis: The program I want to run has an OSX port, so if I can emulate that, fine... [10:53] i installed it yesterday, but i can't go to http://localhost/ i have this: "The requested URL / was not found on this server." [10:53] Rakeer, PS3 is a whole different thing.. not a clue on ps3's im refering to ppc macs. [10:53] but i can go to those folders http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ and http://localhost/manual but not to the others [10:53] Ziroday, that's why I think it's strange that it won't do it [10:53] i don't know why.. can somebody help me please ? [10:53] Dr_willis: PS3=ppc [10:53] vassler, I have no idea, unless you changed permissions on the trash directory [10:53] jeeves__: one sec [10:54] Rakeer, its a few generations past ppc on the imacs. :) which is what most people think of when you mention ppc. [10:54] Dr_willis: just pretend I said nothing about a PS3 [10:54] Ziroday, ok. [10:54] How is the class of graphics called that a call of hdaps-gl produces in the program window 'IBM Accelerometer Demo'? [10:54] nyvhax, do you have an index.html/index.php file in the root directory of apache? [10:54] I thought ps3 used that new multicore cell cpu? [10:54] oliver3: oh well. thanks anyway. [10:54] Dr_willis: and point me into the direction of emulating an OSX program on ppc :D [10:55] yes oliver3 the "It Works!"'s index.html [10:55] does anyone know what file formats that Homebank will import? or can anyone reccomend a good finical software package for Ubuntu? I can't get MS money to work through wine [10:55] Rakeer, go check the ps3 linux sites i guess. I havent a clue on using linux on a ppc imac. or ps3 [10:55] nyvhax, have you changed the apache configuration? [10:55] Ok Pirate got me a bit closer but I am looking to install Ubuntu fresh but need to boot from a floppy to start the CDROM any ideas? [10:55] nyvhax, your best bet is probably reading the apache manual [10:55] PS3 is now PPC, but Macs are now using Intel CPU's so are no longer PPC.. go figure.. :) [10:56] PS3 as in playstation 3 [10:56] arvind_khadri, yep. [10:56] Dr_willis, I thought the PS3 used the Cell processor? [10:56] Or is that based on PPC? [10:56] Dr_willis, nice [10:56] * oliver3 hasn't looked into the PS3 much [10:56] oy. In ppc linux, I want to run an OSX emulator...is that possible? [10:56] oliver3, its like PPC grown up 10000x over. :) [10:56] Ahh [10:56] :D [10:56] Rakeer, see PearPC [10:56] Rakeer, ask #linux [10:57] PearPC emulates ppc on other platforms, I thought? [10:57] I thought pearpc was some rip-off last i looked into it.. [10:57] arvind_khadri: Im running ubuntu though...? [10:57] jeeves__: please install the packages libntfs10 and tell me if you can do it now? [10:57] !ppc | Rakeer [10:57] Rakeer: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [10:57] Rakeer, you can probably use qemu [10:58] Ziroday, ok, one sec [10:58] Hmm.. im trying to get my compiz transparent, but all i can find is the "shift-mousewheel" option to change opacity.. is there anyway to make it true opacity? wich will be there all the time and not has to be set by scrolling? === MinusSeven is now known as EndlessLoop [10:59] Ziroday, the only options I have are "unmount" "change flags" and "information" when I right click on the parititon === EndlessLoop is now known as MinusSeven [10:59] Yeah, I have no clue where to start with it.l.I am used to wine running on x85 machines.. [10:59] and #qemu is like a ghost town [10:59] oliver3, i tried, but i found nothing [10:59] Ziroday, and the shell is reporting that it's only opening it in read only [11:00] /msg NickServ SET EMAILMEMOS ON [11:00] jeeves__, do you have ntfs-3g [11:01] arvind_khadri, I'm not sure. I don't think so. IT's weird though, I can read/write to the partion [11:01] jeeves__, what actually is the problem?? [11:02] arvind_khadri, I have it installed (and I can't resize the NTFS partition). [11:02] jeeves__, gksu gparted [11:02] jeeves__, by resize you mean increase or decrease?? [11:03] arvind_khadri, same thing as the last time. I only have the options to unmount, info, or change flags [11:03] arvind_khadri, and yes, I want to shrink the drive from 100Gb to 45gb [11:03] jeeves__, normally you dont 'resize' a partitin when its mounted somewhere.. [11:03] jeeves__, you may want to get a gparted live cd. and try to resize from it. [11:03] jeeves__, then first unmount it and then resize it [11:03] Dr_willis, ok, I'd rather not have to do the live CD thing though [11:03] jeeves__, and yeah get a gparted live cd [11:03] how open pidgin in startup iconified? [11:04] gparted live cd = a must have for the pc toolbox [11:04] arvind_khadri, hummm, well, it's not a big thing this second. Windows is getting a little long in the tooth, so it's going to be cut back. [11:04] jeeves__, :) lol [11:04] Dr_willis, I actully have the disks that you can request from Ubuntu [11:05] arvind_khadri, it made me mad this morning. NTOSKRN.exe is missing. [11:05] jeeves__, those may have gparted on them.. or you can install it [11:05] vozniakBR, are you english? [11:05] .... and Bil strikes again [11:05] :-DA Answer Please [11:05] arvind_khadri: nops, Brazilian [11:05] !br | vozniakBR [11:05] vozniakBR: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt por ajuda em português. Obrigado. [11:06] Does anyone know what file format that HomeBank imports? Or can anyone reccomend a good replacement for MS $$? [11:06] arvind_khadri: i don't want go there =) [11:06] vozniakBR, oh ok :) then please make your question more understandable...didnt mean to hurt you [11:06] May I ask a question and get some type of answer [11:07] arvind_khadri: you dont understand "iconified"? sorry. [11:07] Chro4, ask [11:07] I need a way to boot up to the CDROM install from floppy [11:08] nm, I figured out the bank question [11:08] does this OS support this a link to where i can get it is all i need to get started [11:09] arvind_khadri: then this is for you understand, iconified = minimized =) [11:09] Chro4, i belive there a install wiki/page that details alternative ways of installing the os and a boot/install floppy [11:09] hi [11:09] !install | chro4 [11:09] chro4: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways.

[11:10] hi [11:11] arvind_khadri: iconified = tray. [11:11] I just do not have the option to boot FROM the cdrom in the bios. i could hack a freinds pc to install then put the drive in to this machine but would that work? [11:11] i'm having trouble to install Ubuntu 7.10 from live cd [11:11] I know windows freaks out [11:12] Chro4, linux should work decently well if you installed on a different box/moved the hd. [11:12] i've create a debian source libfoo that provide 3 debian packages, libfoo0, libfoo0-bin and libfoo0-dev, i've got some problem on the debian/rules where could i got some help ?

[11:13] psycose, #ubuntu-motu [11:13] vozniakBR, when in doubt use the apt-cache search stuff to search for proper names... [11:13] i know i can answer this question experimentally, and i intend to... but is it possible that the windows est battery life on my laptop is 2h while linux (xubuntu) est battery life is 5h... could that be correct? [11:14] Help me to setup ubuntu 7.10 pls [11:14] MrNaz``, estimation times i have found to be often very very wrong in both os's :) [11:14] Chro4: Well, you made it onto IRC, and you're in a linux channel... [11:14] Dr_willis well the rate that the % drops is far slower in linux... as i said... i'm going to test this experimentally, but that's an enormous difference [11:14] thanks arvind_khadri [11:14] Dr_willis: this 'alltray' save changes? i want when login the pidgin starts in tray [11:14] MrNaz``, i was able to throttle down my linux laptop's cpu lower in linux, then i could in windows. that gave a huge extimated time. [11:14] Chro4: Have some cookies, and milk...sit down and relax. Paitence is key to breaking bad addictions.. [11:15] vozniakBR, not a clue. check its docs. [11:15] Hey, I supposedly have an application that just muted my PC [11:15] When I only have the XChat client running [11:15] How do I check that out? [11:15] And how do I stop it from happening again? [11:15] hrm... is there any way I can specify a DNS server address, such that it won't get overwritten when Ubuntu receives a DHCP lease? [11:16] I mean, I can't believe I can't play youtube and Rhythmbox at the same time, like it is supposed to [11:16] :( [11:16] I think there's something really wrong in my sound configuration [11:16] I got another laptop and am selling my old one ... but I don't want to have to redo my entire setup if I can help it .... is there a way to move my whole setup to the other machine? [11:17] zethero1: most of your setup will be in your home directory, so if you just copy your home directory over you should be good. [11:17] zethero1, mondo/mindi can backup/restore a system with dvd disks, or a fileserver.. may be other ways also.. but laptops can be 'trickier' then other pc's === AshkaClone is now known as Ashka [11:17] zethero1: just install openssh server on one of the computers and use scp [11:17] how do I tell why my 3d effects won't enable ? [11:17] Dr_willis: thanks, i solved my insue. [11:18] kholerabbi: probably dont have accelerated drivers enabled [11:18] Some help with the sound here, please [11:18] rakeer: it's worled before on the same installation............ How do I check these drivers? [11:18] How can I listen to my stuff again? [11:19] And why is it that everytime I listen something on youtube, my sound just flickles all over? [11:19] pajamian - Dr_willis - I am only getting my new system in a while and this one is going now to the buyer ... so I need to be able to backup this current system setup === ego is now known as Guest36431 [11:19] probably applications->system>restricted drivers manager [11:19] Help me please ! If I type apt-get, Konsole mean : apt-get : not found. Why ? I can't reinstall it, but apt-get don't functionnal ! [11:19] check the box next to your video card [11:19] Lut Lyokomaster et Tiwy57 ^^'' [11:19] Lut [11:19] Lyokomaster Ashka : :) [11:20] pajamian - Dr_willis - the best would be if I could somehow have all these programs and the look and feel of my setup backed up ... so I don't have to reinstall and reconfigure everything all over again [11:20] kholerabbi: did you find it? [11:20] Can somebody tell me the normal configuration my sound should have? [11:20] zethero1, mondo/mindi can do a complete backup/clone of the system [11:21] To not having to close firefox to listen to Rythmbox, and viceversa? [11:21] Dr_willis: can it do it to a USD External Hard Drive? [11:21] Hello :( [11:21] Rakeer: actually I can't see it... possibly the package got uninstalled - what would be the package name? [11:21] zethero1, proberly can.. not sure.. check its docs. [11:21] Dr_willis: is it in the repos? [11:22] zethero1, used to be it made a custom boot cd, that then accessed the 'archived' system files. (on a fileserver, or cd, or dvd) and restored the hd from ti.. [11:22] zethero1, if you have a large external hd. you could use 'dd' but thats a bit hardcore. [11:22] restricted drivers [11:22] Dr_willis: what do you mean about 'dd' ? [11:22] Dr_willis: I have a large HDD [11:23] HellBound, you may want to use 8.04 if you are having install issues.. its got newer updates and stuff [11:23] zethero1, dd can do a full 'data dump' of your sustem to a file. [11:23] I wouldn't use dd for that as it makes a bit-level copy and you want a file-level copy [11:23] Dr_willis, that sounds good ... [11:24] zethero1, untill you realize all the other issues that come with it. [11:24] Dr_willis, oh? .... like hardware issues on the new ssytem ? [11:25] zethero1, thats just 1 potential pitfall.. differnet uuid's in the fstab perhaps, the huge backing up of 'empty' space from one hd... missmatched hd sizes on restore... [11:25] zethero1: well considering that the new system will have different hw a fresh install is probably a good idea. [11:25] no it;s not restricted drivers - [11:25] pajamian: so I cannot port over all my apps from this machine ... [11:26] zethero1, its easer to get a list of installed apps and reinstall those apps.. then restore the users data/home [11:26] !clone [11:26] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [11:26] zethero1: you can, but I tend to prefer a fresh install anyways, get rid of all the old cruft that you have that you don't want anymore, etc. [11:26] Dr_willis: what about all my themes etc?.... [11:26] zethero1, depends on how you installed them i imagine.. [11:27] Dr_willis, themes were draged into the themes dialog [11:27] i'm trying to use http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/08/usb-ubuntu-804-persistent-install-via-the-live-cd/ but after following the guide step by step it still won't boot from the USB stick (ive tried installing LILO too, nogo) any ideas ? [11:28] zethero1, that means very little to me. :) if they are in the local users home.. then you backup home and they stay with the user.. [11:28] if you installed them with the package manager.. you reinstall them with the packagfe manager [11:28] Proximo, a usbthumb drive normally uses the syslinux boot loader i thought. [11:28] kholerabbi: (k-hole rabbi?) try asking again... [11:29] hey [11:29] kholerabbi: try to be a little more specific..someone else may know [11:29] i am wanting to setup a vhost on ubunta, [11:29] how do i do so? [11:29] <_numbers_> cloak? [11:29] hi [11:30] rakeer: ok so I have 2 drivers listed - a wireless driver and a atheros (HAL) driver - would that be the graphics? [11:30] atheros [11:30] HAL = video chip/card [11:30] kholerabbi, no. Atheros (HAL) is also your wlan driver. Atheros shows 2 [11:30] Dr_willis: maybe, but it says at the bottom of the guide that if it wont boot i could try installing lilo (for MBR) [11:30] oh my mistake [11:31] wow big channel :) [11:31] hello [11:31] Dr_willis: so i tried installing it when it failed to boot [11:31] how do i set up vitrual hosting on my box>? [11:31] Proximo, ive also found a lot of times it depends on the specific thumb drive.. and the machine you are trying to boot. I mainly use slax and puppylinux on my thumbdrives [11:31] Dr_willis, http://www.debianadmin.com/backup-and-restore-your-ubuntu-system-using-sbackup.html [11:31] Ad0: a testament to the wonderous beauty of Ubuntu, no? ;) [11:31] hehe [11:31] yeah [11:31] This is my first time to come here. [11:31] ubuntu is awesome [11:31] agreede. [11:32] -e [11:32] I was wondering if the window manager has a global handler to the power button on my remote [11:32] let's not go offtopic here, shall we? We've got #ubuntu-offtopic for that :) [11:32] hischild: Rakeer: .... So assuming I need a restricted driver for my graphics hardware - How do I go about getting it...? [11:32] Dr_willis, I found this page ... and this app wants to backup /var, /etc, /home, /usr/local ..... does that sounds ok? [11:32] Dr_willis: i would too if i knew enough to get slax/puppy running as i want it. but ive booted on this thumbdrive/computer combo before, cant understand why its not working this time [11:32] because if I go in xbmc-linux and press power, I would believe that I am in the scope of the app [11:32] where are you from? [11:32] kholerabbi, depends what graphics card you have. Do you happen to know which one you have? [11:32] zethero1, could try it and see.. i always just keep /home on its own drive. [11:33] kholerabbi: ^^ [11:33] but when I press power in XBMC it also shows the shutdown menu in ubuntu [11:33] java [11:33] which is kinda not wanted :) [11:33] I want to install jdk [11:33] no...

[12:16] ok, how to do it? [12:16] quentusrex, you can generate some entropy by launching a process intensive process. something like. perl -ne 'print rand $$ while 1' or find / [12:17] because I have a sony vaio cr11s/w [12:17] and when I connect it [12:17] WeGWeZeN: best to just ask the channel your question [12:17] it wont let me have extended desktop [12:17] i have to download the ultimatecdforwindows and other crap because im applying for a technician at this company westan.com.au [12:17] WeGWeZeN: what package did it say it installed? [12:18] ahhh but doctor im configuring the x.org file to work with my two graphics card and start the virtual machine [12:18] nonot one adam. when i use dthe manager it says install, on whatever i choose. but i cant find it with : whereis [12:18] EnGorDiaz, never done that . sorry [12:18] quentusrex, sorry make that. perl -e 'print rand $$ while 1' [12:18] EnGorDiaz, all ive done is enable twinview and enable both screens. you could spawn 2 x servers also if you wanted. [12:18] but thats not using twinview [12:18] i dnt really need help with it im just proud of the fact i can run full 3d on 2 os's [12:18] running at once [12:19] aw, adam7 (since you were the one who answered me) the picture shows of as black and white, because it is connect in the S-VIDEO port to a common television [12:19] ahhh yes maybe i can have 2 x servers [12:19] I dident think vmware could get 'full 3d' [12:19] EnGorDiaz: can you share the link to the tutorial....it seems interesting [12:19] WeGWeZeN: did you select install then press the apply button at the top? [12:19] and it is not extended desktop btw adam7 [12:19] after i start ubuntu the system will auto start [12:19] this channel has diteriated so rapidly [12:20] well the graphics cards will be configures [12:20] configured [12:20] ?

[12:20] N0_Named_Guy: I'm not entirely sure you can do extended desktop with an svideo cable... can someone confirm or deny that?

[12:20] i also need 4 gig ram [12:20] yes i did. for example aircrack / network / -ng / mark for instal / apply / installed .... ~> and it doesnt apear in appl internet [12:20] adam7: if I can't extend it, at least how can I put it working on color [12:21] EnGorDiaz: dont worry... just want to understand how its done....so i wont disturb u with questions...just need the link [12:21] what sever type i can use in evolution mail?? i use gmail [12:21] make it like this graphics card 1 ubuntu graphics card 0 osx [12:21] ram1,2 ubuntu [12:21] The pointers I've are "Default Pointer" (old X11), "DMZ-Black", "DMZ-White", contrastlarge, handgelds, redglass and whiteglass...

[12:23] ahh it might have some bugs at first but im going to show alot of ppl what i can do [12:23] sounds like I had fatter sound when I chose ALSA [12:23] EnGorDiaz: oh...you were going to patch it??? i though somebody has already done and you were following that....

I can't find any docs or help on the ubuntu wiki [12:39] what does recursive mean?

I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [12:39] Markus, you'll need chown -R , means it changes ownership on all the files in a directory [12:39] I have run gpg --export 0x********>repo.key [12:39] danboid, one needs some webspace to host files on to have a place to upload to [12:39] bazhang, i don't know , ^^ [12:39] Markus, yea the recursive opton would also be needed to set all subfiles/dirs to be owned by the user. [12:39] and gpg --export-secret-key 0x*********>private.key [12:40] then I scp'd them to the server. then I imported the keys. How do I set gpg to use them???

[12:41] Markus, can you list a few or give us an idea. [12:41] pajamian, 700 does [12:42] !pastebin [12:42] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [12:42] Markus: Could you paste them there? [12:42] awesome. thanks Jewfro-Macabbi and unop [12:42] not on /home, it means only root can see /home [12:42] amrita, i belive mplayer/mencoder can do that.. i saw some info on it - on the mplayer homepage the other day. the faq mentioned a lot of things about subtutle formats and timing [12:42] It would be difficult to paste them here [12:42] pajamian, i think we are talking about his home dir here .. atleast i hope so [12:42] N0_Named_Guy: sometimes rebooting can kick it into gear [12:42] Markus: True. *rolls eyes*. [12:43] * WeGWeZeN im thanking a bot omg aint i sad [12:43] mplayer => movie player ? [12:43] Markus, can you paste the error to a pastebin? [12:43] N0_Named_Guy: as you may have guessed multimonitor support on linux is not too good [12:43] [04:40] even though I did chown and chmod (700) on just the /home-dir, I wasn't able to cd into /home... [12:43] amrita, no what ubuntu calls "movie player" is totem - mplayer is diff [12:43] i like mplayer [12:43] Markus: What did it say when you tried to cd into /home? [12:43] Acess denied [12:44] pajamian, /home-dir is ambiguous .. i would err on the side of him making a typo with it [12:44] then what is mplayer ? [12:44] Markus: And you tried sudo, right? [12:44] adam7: ok [12:44] adam7: about that i see ;) [12:44] frm where can i download mplayer ? [12:44] amrita, http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/news.html [12:44] yes I tried sudo cd /home, bot that don't work [12:44] Markus: And did you become root and cd into it to see if you can? [12:44] amrita: synaptic :-) [12:44] amrita, it's in the repo, but I think maybe you have to add a repository first [12:44] Markus: try just cd /home === drs305_afk is now known as drs305 [12:44] Markus, define - don't work [12:45] adam7: when I end my college degree, I'll develop code to do so :P [12:45] Markus: that won't work, no [12:45] unop: Markus: it does work. sudo starts a new shell with root access, that shell cd's to /home, then it exists successfully. [12:45] But, the error-messages I mentioned basicly tells me I don't have access to /home, and that nothing will work in my system. [12:45] adam7: a reboot won't kick it xD [12:46] moin! [12:46] N0_Named_Guy: did you add the line to xorg? [12:46] zhaozhou, what do you mean exactly? [12:46] I don't think it'll work in failsafe terminal [12:46] Markus: try: sudo chmod 755 /home [12:46] Markus: Have you installed Ubuntu recently or has this just "randomly" happened? [12:46] adam7: yes of course [12:46] anybody got an lenovo thinkpad with working trackpoint AND touchpad? [12:46] adam7: I've done it with the line [12:47] adam7: and without the line [12:47] N0_Named_Guy: ok. How did you get it working earlier with the wrong colors? [12:47] I installed it some weeks ago, but just recently I had no write-permissions to /home [12:47] zhaozhou, did you mean doing something like. sudo cd /home ??? [12:47] adam7:just plugged the cable in [12:47] adam7: and that was it :) [12:47] zhaozhou, if that's the case - that won't work [12:47] Markus: you shouldn't have any write permissions to home as a normal user [12:47] So I tried to chmod it, and I got locked out from /home [12:47] unop: exactly. [12:47] How is the class of graphics called that a call of hdaps-gl produces in the program window 'IBM Accelerometer Demo'? [12:47] Markus: Well, you shouldn't have write-permissions for /home, but you should have them for your _folder__under__/home_. [12:47] zhaozhou, that won't work .. cd is not a command [12:48] okey u mean i have to add pkg with synaptic pkg mgr [12:48] yes, I know [12:48] unop: err? [12:48] Markus: is /home on a seperate partition? [12:48] adam7: but whenever I plug the s-video cable in my vaio [12:48] unop: how about change directory? [12:48] adam7: it seems to recognize something [12:48] zhaozhou, err what? cd is a bash builtin not a command [12:48] no [12:48] adam7: like, the disposition of the gnome panels change [12:48] ahh [12:48] fuck it [12:49] zhaozhou, meaning sudo does not know which executable to use when you type. sudo cd /home [12:49] I'll remove it and install Linux Mint [12:49] language... [12:49] Markus: did you chmod /home to 700? that will break it. [12:49] !language | mark [12:49] mark: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [12:49] Markus: =P [12:49] rofl. [12:49] oops sorry mark [12:49] adam7: and in the screen resolution settings it recognizes another monitor [12:49] unop: Ah, yes, could be so. :-) [12:49] zhaozhou, you are welcome to try it out for yourself. [12:49] N0_Named_Guy: ok. You had an intel card? [12:49] Well, anybody got a Notebook with a touchpad and a trackpoint working? [12:49] nobody? [12:49] adam7: yep [12:49] j-zero: Me. [12:49] hey hey [12:50] zhaozhou, to work around. sudo bash -c 'cd /home; command' [12:50] :D [12:50] Markus: and sudo cd /home will not work... [12:50] j-zero, just the trackpoint, no touchpad on this one [12:50] hey bullgard4 [12:50] N0_Named_Guy: ok, it's worth asking how to do svideo again to the whole channel since you've got the PAL thing fixed [12:50] no, pajamian [12:50] I got some problems with my Lenovo Thinkpad R61i [12:50] adam7: its a Mobile Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 [12:50] unop: I were'nt the one having the problem. :-) [12:50] adam7: it WAS working [12:50] adam7: in gray colors [12:50] Markus: it will cd to /home inside the sudo command but as soon as sudo exits (which is right after the cd completes) you will get the old dir back. [12:50] adam7: but working [12:50] When I enalbe the Touchpad, the middle mousebutton of the Trackpoint doesn't work vor scrolling [12:51] for scrolling [12:51] zhaozhou, well technically telling someone to do something that does not work is a problem eh. :) [12:51] N0_Named_Guy: yeah, that's the funny part. I don't know :( [12:51] no, pajamian [12:51] adam7: lol [12:51] OK, sweet it was just that "sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme" was required at the end :P [12:51] adam7: but I guess (my logic) that the xorg line you gave me [12:51] adam7: would work [12:51] it said "bash: sudo: cd: command does not exist" or something like that [12:51] adam7: it makes sense [12:52] Markus: ok, either way it doesn't work. [12:52] N0_Named_Guy: it did look promising... [12:52] is there another name for dropdown menu from the top bar? [12:52] adam7: nevermind, it was not that important [12:52] adam7: but nevertheless [12:52] SaraSmith: 'GNOME menu'.

[12:53] adam7: one thing I promisse to you [12:53] pajamian: I don't think you got what I said some minutes ago [12:53] adam7: when I managed to put it working, I'll tell you ;) [12:53] I'll just remove Ubuntu and install Linux Mint. [12:53] hickop: xmodmop ~/.Xmodmap [12:53] N0_Named_Guy: it's worth asking the everyone again to help with the svideo problem if you want [12:53] N0_Named_Guy: alright :) [12:54] No need to think any more about it [12:54] =) [12:54] damn f*ck.

The end-user would'nt notice. [12:55] j-zero: it's not bad english - it's offensive language, and saying ";)" does not make it a joke. [12:55] zhaozhou: thank you [12:55] okay. i'm sorry.

[12:58] chazco: what wifi? o_O\ [12:58] chazco: what wifi driver do you use [12:58] * SaraSmith pats chazco gently [12:58] chazco: no way to fix, it's the nature of the beast with compiled kernel modules [12:58] chazco: if the module didn't come with Ubuntu, then you get stuck recompiling it, I'm afraid [12:59] BYE ALL [12:59] ikonia / LSD|Ninja - Its a Realtek rtl8187se - a bug report is here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+bug/246141 [12:59] Launchpad bug 246141 in linux-meta "no support for realtek rtl8187se" [Undecided,New] [12:59] ok.. i got launcher what do i put in Command to make it launch GNOME menu ?

Considering changing the one in my laptop since ubuntu doesnt support it [13:05] the nfs mount fine [13:05] local: check the time it takes to mount the drive, and check the time it takes to move/read/write data on that nfs drive [13:05] !hardware | chazco [13:05] chazco: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [13:05] chazco: look on the hardware supported list, look for vendors that are linux friendl [13:05] chazco: look on the hardware supported list, look for vendors that are linux friendly [13:06] Ah thanks pajamian and ikonia [13:06] ok [13:06] I can access all the files in a timely manor [13:07] local: out of interest, setup a user with a local home directory, reboot - login as that local user, then check if the NFS disk is mounted [13:07] Anyone here excited like I am about the Dell 900? [13:07] chazco: also, if there is a module for it, but you have to compile it (as you imply) there is a good chance that ubuntu will support it in a future release. In fact check with the guys at #ubuntu+1 to see if it is supported in intrepid now. [13:07] Tobark: the what?

[13:13] gball: tend to favour just normal ole vim [13:13] whats vim like compared to eclipse -- I want to do some django development [13:13] I'm kinda new at this stuff Im afraid [13:13] if a point the a users home dir to a local disk.

[13:16] I don't see how u would go to jail it sayz open source on they're website maybe I don't understand the meaning open source I thought it meant free to do what u want as long as u give credit [13:16] hello, i used dhcp at office which replaces my dns i use at home [13:16] use* [13:16] DoctorRobotnik: I'm not sure what those directions are saying, but looking them over they seem a bit weird to me. Usually you patch something as a non-root user, then compile it and install it as root (with sudo), not the other way around. [13:18] Hi.

[13:20] pajamian: Yeah, well, I'm pretty inexperienced at this stuff [13:21] DoctorRobotnik: ok, let's start at the beginning, I take it you tried going into the restricted drivers manager and seeing if you could set up your wifi from there? === evilryu is now known as Evilryu [13:22] guys? anyone know if aptitude purge removes dependancies that were installed?? [13:22] SickBoy123, aptitude removes dependencies of a package if the package is not a meta-package [13:23] in the INIT INFO section of an init script how do I make it need the network started. Is "networking" in "Required-Start" correct or is there a different way? [13:23] red__: no that is not what open source means, but I didn't catch any previous conversion, what do you think you would go to jail for?

I have a cronjob set to run the script every minute... if no pid is found, restart the whole thing inside a detached screen and log the time and date to a file [13:49] which* [13:49] Toznoshio: GCStar can do that, but I think you should go for something written in PHP/MySQL, so you could consider providing user services in the future.

[14:03] !etiquette > Boon1 (Boon1, see the private message from Ubotu) [14:03] Boon1, please see my private message [14:03] oh it's a beta version of 8.04 [14:03] !gpart [14:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about gpart [14:03] omg not u the bot again [14:03] hello everyone, everything works fine in my ubuntu hardy, except videos. Both with vlc and totem they appear "shrunk", I mean the height is right but the width is not, so the images appear extremely distorted? can anyone help? [14:03] !gparted > dabbu (dabbu, see the private message from Ubotu) [14:03] dabbu, please see my private message [14:04] bazhang -> I tried to get my FN keys working with someone from ubuntuforums and launchpad [14:04] Boon1, dont use that language here [14:04] !gparted [14:04] gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [14:04] sorry lol [14:04] Boon1, its not funny [14:04] !msg the bot > LinuxReign [14:04] LinuxReign, please see my private message [14:04] ah damn, i'll download final iso first [14:04] :o [14:05] bazhang can u help me with my ubuntu problem then/ [14:05] maybe someone can if you specify the problem. [14:05] benste, and did the fix work [14:05] tapas: what are you trying to do? [14:05] well [14:05] bazhang only partly [14:05] it all started after i had been install some new pachages for my Ubuntu 8.04 [14:05] i shut down [14:05] rebboted the next day [14:06] then when i get to the loginscreen it flickers on and off to a cream backdrop [14:06] bazhang now I'm able to increase my brightness with the wrong key [14:06] Boon1, i see you have not checked the bot's message. [14:06] and contiuosly does this [14:06] benste, I think that is the source of your problems; what happens in the livecd for example and how old is this install [14:06] !enter > Boon1 (Boon1, see the private message from Ubotu) [14:06] Boon1, please see my private message [14:06] its an epic story tho [14:06] bazhang this install is since Alpha 6 of HArdy [14:06] so can any1 help? [14:06] !info qt4.4 [14:06] Package qt4.4 does not exist in hardy [14:06] bazhang so may this year [14:07] Boon1, dont use enter as punctuation [14:07] Boon1: most likely X is failing to stay up, either because it's not really starting, or because it doesn't find a DE to start. make sure the package "ubuntu-desktop" is installed. [14:07] what is the command line i use in root? [14:07] i can acess root [14:07] Boon1: why would it be in root? [14:07] Can I have iTunes or an alternative, on linux (I want to transfer mp3 to my iPhone)? [14:07] benste, and what happens when you try the livecd? does the problem go away? [14:07] Boon1: apt-cache policy ubuntu-desktop [14:07] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [14:07] didn't try [14:08] :O ill try both how bout that lol [14:08] Boon1: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [14:08] benste, do you have a separate home partition [14:08] bazhang no [14:08] only a 2nd Win an win recovery partitiopn [14:08] hello. I compiller kernel. not sound. =-O [14:09] bazhang next time - when I install 8.10 I'll create a home partition wthout windows:) [14:09] benste, it sounds like when you were mucking with acpi you did some damage [14:09] becuz i tried altering the data in xorg.conf, but there was no number set for resolutuion and i couldn't find one [14:09] ok. when you connect a device there is a file somewhere that tells the computer what to do with it. [14:09] does anybody know what file, so I can look it up. [14:09] bazhang really [14:09] cinex, dmesg? [14:09] I have problem with my new install. Firefox will not play http://ewtn.edgeboss.net/wmedia/ewtn/multicast/video/windowsmedia/homily_300k.wvx (even though it shows to have vlc plugin installed). [14:09] bazhang what relationship is between ACPI and dbus? [14:10] Boon1: that's because, in Hardy, that's all detected automatically (or should be) [14:10] hmm [14:10] benste, what about setting back to normal from your tweaking; also what 'tweaking' did you do to xorg precisely [14:10] i was told that there is a number setting which can be changed which can fix the problem but i couldn't find it in particular [14:10] bazhang: no. there is a configuration file im sure I've come across it before. so that i can execute truecrypt automatically when I plug in my encrypted SD card [14:11] bazhang - tweaking xorg was for using nvidia driver [14:11] bazhang resetting ACPI - don't know who [14:11] bazhang how [14:11] benste, where did you set the acpi tweaks [14:12] okay, i have a quick question -- is it possible to be connected to both wifi and LAN at the same time in ubuntu? [14:12] bazhang 1. in grub, and 2. in the dir where you find sony increase brightness script [14:12] i can do it in windows [14:12] mEDEc__, check load balancing [14:12] bazhang when I use the old grub option there is no X anymore [14:13] mEDEc__: for what purpose? [14:13] benste, where is the acpi tweak set exactly [14:13] you mean wich dir? [14:13] of course wlan and lan are kinda sorta simply just netwoik interfaces.. so you can of course use more than one at the same time [14:13] bazhang you mean which dir? [14:13] mEDEc_, Just wondering but does it go faster that way? [14:14] lalala resizing partition stays at 0% === icqnumber_ is now known as icqnumber [14:14] oh yeah. [14:14] bazhang /etc/acpi/events [14:14] FYI: Billix (from sourceforge) has Ubuntu net install. It works rather well. There is ISO and usb thumb drive images for download. (It has other stuff too, but is quick easy way to get started with ubuntu instal if you have broadband and no CD. [14:14] there's hd activity though, so i;ll wait a bit [14:14] cap, official Ubuntu also comes with a "minimal" CD for net install [14:14] !minimal [14:14] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [14:15] LjL: Thnx, didn't know that. [14:16] tapas, i want to be able to access two networks at once [14:16] I have problem with my new install. Firefox will not play http://ewtn.edgeboss.net/wmedia/ewtn/multicast/video/windowsmedia/homily_300k.wvx (even though it shows to have vlc plugin installed). [14:16] QickSilver_, no, i doubt it goes faster :) [14:16] mEDEc__: sure.. you will have to fiddle with the routing though depending on your scenario [14:16] And it talks about the minimal CD where on the website? (Kinda mad I've downloaded 4 isos just to get a working one) [14:16] LjL: Very good, minimal install iso is only 9.5MB [14:17] QickSilver_: uh, on that link...? [14:17] Where can I find the definitions of the physical quantities used in /sys/devies/platform/smapi/BAT0/ ? [14:17] tapas, all right. so it not something i can do quick without a lot of config editing and whatnot? [14:18] Here is info about billix: http://www.ntlug.org/BP-trryhend/Billix-ASysadminSSwissArmyKnife?action=view [14:18] mEDEc__: it depends on what you want to do [14:19] as i said, i just want to be able to access two networks at once :) [14:19] mEDEc__: are these networks disjunct? [14:19] disjunct? [14:19] hi all! [14:19] is this an english irc? [14:19] i.e. or are there addresses that are reachable over both networks? [14:19] where is the root trash located? [14:20] Arkenklo: yes [14:20] Arkenklo: this particular channel is [14:20] okey [14:20] tapas, no [14:20] zethero1: /root/.local/share/Trash I guess? [14:20] zethero1 since there is no root account there is no root tash [14:20] *trash [14:20] mEDEc__: then just use ifconfig to set appropriate network masks and addresses and it should work fine i guess [14:20] can you waste me? ill give my ip and keep shared desk? im open...any takers? [14:20] jrib, thanks [14:20] tapas: man interfaces [14:21] segagman: this isn't a channel for that [14:21] mEDEc__: what wols_ said [14:21] im testing ubuntu yes it is [14:21] segagman: no it [14:21] segagman: no it's not. you don't let others from here give access or even sudo capability [14:21] ubuntun test [14:21] Is it just me or is the alternate installer taking longer? [14:22] hello [14:22] ahh, all right. was trying to find a gui for it, didn't even think of that i could do it through ifconf :P thanks, tapas [14:22] my net is free [14:22] hi all [14:22] old school password [14:23] mEDEc__: maybe editing /etc/network/interfaces woulb be more ubuntu'ish [14:23] segagman: do you have a question concerning an issue you are having with ubuntu?

[14:30] it should, according to their site [14:30] Streaming Video [14:30] sourav1234: gnash is still lacking functionality / support compared to adobe, but it is free, so it's your call [14:30] Gnash supports the viewing of streaming video from popular video sharing sites like Lulu.tv or YouTube.com.

[15:51] saiki, found a ppa repo for that [15:52] Gun_Smoke, this mean is that configuration for example "etc/init.d/apache2 start" not save any editable file ? [15:52] stefan_: pal [15:52] Gun_Smoke: you have a mac ? [15:52] Zarvoxx, i would suggest loading 7.10, not recompile drivers and ugrade to 8.04.1 [15:52] bazhang: ppa repo? [15:52] Zambezi, no, roommate does. [15:52] wols_: thanks, but he don askept the letters pal [15:52] MohammadBoozary: it runs the apache2 script located in /etc/init.d with the parameter 'start' [15:53] Zarvoxx, unfortunantly...it is all advise i can give on this subject [15:53] vidd: thanks [15:53] MohammadBoozary, I don't really understand. the command /etc/init.d/apache2 start will start that service.

[15:53] So, I just discovered that my router might not be compatible with Ubuntu. Has anyone else had this problem? [15:54] MohammadBoozary: i don't know. check the apache docs, and try #ubuntu-server [15:54] Threethan, no [15:54] bazhang: I have the latest source, I want to build that [15:54] http://www.getdeb.net/app/PCSX2 saiki [15:54] MohammadBoozary: or even #apache [15:54] Threethan, how could your router not be compatable? [15:54] Hmm. Let me look at the page I was looking at, to see if I can explain it better. [15:55] Threethan: how is your router connected? usb or ethernet? [15:55] Zambezi, you have a mac? [15:55] Ethernet. [15:55] Threethan, what kind of router? (dlink, linksys?) [15:55] I just reinstalled ubuntu (5x) and I can't get it to boot. can someone help me? the screen tit ends at says (initramfs) [15:56] hi, i'm planning to move to ubuntu on my laptop. I've read about all the different unbutun/xubuntu/kubuntu flavours. WIth either of those, i will be running openbox window manager and will be making use of KDE programs such as Amarok and some Gnome programs such as Workrave.... which *buntu would be better suited and give me the lightest weight and speediest performance ? thanks [15:56] Motorla (linksy looks familiar though) [15:56] Threethan, ethernet? what kind of router. [15:56] blip-, there will hardly be any difference if you mix GNOME and KDE programs anyway [15:56] karly, that is no longer supported. [15:56] MohammadBoozary: they're probably in /etc/apache2 [15:56] karly, get a more recent version and try again [15:56] LjL: if i went with xubuntu i'll be stuck with xfce libraries which i don't need. so perhaps KDE vs Gnome ? [15:56] blip-: unless your laptop is more than 3 years old, anything you run on it is going to be fast. [15:56] Threethan, do you by chance mean modem and not router? how many ethernet jacks does it have? [15:57] karly is there a reason you're using such an old version ? [15:57] It's the router, it's a motorola WR850G [15:57] it has four jacks. [15:57] It's supports wireless connection, but I use a cat5. (I feel techy using that term.) [15:57] threethan: you used kabelconnection and not point to poinTß [15:58] i don't know how the repositores and dependecnies are set up but if i went with ubuntu, can i pull ONLY the kdelibs needed to run Amarok and other basic KDE software or will i need to pull the entire KDE 100's of megs ? [15:58] I used.. what? [15:58] blip-: well, the Xfce libraries won't take up very much, but still, if you're going to use KDE and GNOME programs, there's no real reason to use Xfce unless you particularly like it. i'd say use whatever you prefer, since really, unless you still to KDE/GNOME programs only, there won't be any noticeable difference. [15:58] Threethan, its a modem with router built in [15:58] hi, I've compiled sbnc and it's now running, but when I try to connect to a server through the bouncer, it says "Connection initialized. Waiting for response..." but then it disconnects? how do I fix this? :S [15:58] I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 (Busty Bibbon - I think it's called.) [15:58] from reading the forum im a little cinfused, if i add a wireless card, will i have to manually built drivers for it? [15:58] blip-, you don't need to pull *everything* from KDE, but most of the heavy-weight libraries *will* get installed, and take up time to load when you start a KDE program from GNOME [15:58] hi, how can i assign resize window to alt + right click please ? [15:58] blip-: ubuntu will just pull down what's required to amarok/etc [15:59] bazhang: and now just one more to find.. "dolphin"... [15:59] What's kabelconnection and point to point? [15:59] Threethan, install wine, run the cd your ISP gave you, then you should be golden [15:59] bazhang: what do you mean? its xubuntu 8.04 [15:59] threedmthan: itś a differnt between a dirct modem or a used Router, but look in the Ubuntu-Interent UserManual in the Interenet after this === jabagawee_ is now known as jabagawee [15:59] karly, you said 5x [15:59] bazhang: I meant 5 times reinstalled :) [16:00] anyone using antec fusion V2 ?

I don't really recall if my ISP gave me a CD or not. [16:00] Gun_Smoke, yes [16:00] !dualboot > Gun_Smoke (Gun_Smoke, see the private message from Ubotu) [16:00] Gun_Smoke, please see my private message [16:00] or put a real router between that motorola and your com[puter (like a linksys) [16:00] unop, Thanks [16:00] Threethan: busty bibbion? now that's an interesting name lol. as far as your router.. what make is it? [16:01] It's DSL, that goes to the Zyxel from my ISP to my motorola router. [16:01] LjL, thanks [16:01] bazhang: sorry about that lol, its xubuntu 8.04 ,checked the media and its ok, I assume (initramfs) is the system booting into RAM instead of the disc? [16:01] Threethan: A cableconnection if to used for a router i think, and point to point for dsl without router [16:01] Threethan: the modem/router you're trying to configure is? [16:02] I can't, there's two other people using the connection besides myself. [16:02] threetthan: itś a littelbit hard to explain, go to ubuntu.com [16:02] Threethan, then simply press and hold the reset button on your router for 3-5 seconds, let it pick up your DSL connection, and you should be good to go [16:02] It's a motorola wr850g [16:02] !list [16:02] Hi!

[16:03] bazhang: yea [16:03] saiki, i dont know how [16:03] saiki, audacity does not capture the sound [16:04] karly, did you md5 the iso and burn slow as well as doing the disk integrity check? those are the top three reasons for that iirc [16:04] bazhang: when I boot, it gets to the screen where the loading bar bounces from 1 side to the other, stays there for 5 minutes+ then goes to busybox [16:04] kevinO: vlc does [16:04] saiki, thanks ill check it out [16:04] kevinO: np [16:04] bazhang: I am reinstalling the system, the first install worked fine, same disc about a month ago [16:04] karly, try removing quiet and splash from the kernel parameters in grub and see the exact error message [16:04] bazhang: id integrity check, greenlighted [16:05] hmm how do you do that?

[16:18] agent: do you get a grub menu? [16:18] I do the run: ipconfig and it blasts through it too fast to even look at it.

[16:19] wols_, yes i do: and the strange part is that menu.lst is correct and so is device.map according to the physical layout and also according to grub (and fdisk) when inside ubuntu [16:19] Having a db computer [16:19] for the dual boot :) just ask our question [16:19] billi: He's sarcastically asking you to please complete your question on one line.

[16:20] When did I say anything that was off topic? [16:21] Threethan: I asked you something [16:21] Threethan: OT means off topic. I was off topic too, I think. [16:21] Threethan: you didn't they handle multiple people [16:21] I'm trying to do it. [16:21] It's seriously going too fast for me to look at it. [16:21] I'm looking for an fast to install full solution for very secure (against media/data corruption) storage. Best something that can be easly used INSIDE my desktops (ubuntu,debian; perhaps gentoo) can be via FUSE if needed; But also any other free solution via network server (ie server on say openbsd with access via ftp/ssh to files). What can you reccommend? Curently im looking into btrfs(for linux); and zfs via fuse on linux; [16:21] billi: Is it a grub prompt that you arrive at? [16:21] Threethan: and I told you how to slow it down [16:21] what to do [16:21] And I did it. It's still going too fast. [16:21] wols_: point is, I'm trying to help, reguardless there are only 5 ips that routers use that I know about [16:22] billi, when you say command line, it's after grub ? you arrive on a page that says "login" ? [16:22] saiki: there are 4 BILLION IPs and routers can easily use 16 million+ [16:22] hey [16:22] bazhang: after that it hangs on "megaraid: ABORTING-1[7d], fw owner." [16:22] no [16:22] rmaj, i would advise agains zfs on linux, since its in its early development still [16:22] n [16:22] saiki: im pretty sure they can use anything they want, depends how u configure them [16:22] hi [16:22] Question: I am trying to run a XAMPP server but it is being run from the root (/opt/lampp), how can i make the lamp/htdocs directory writable by anyone? So i can FTP Import a website into it [16:22] saiki: which is why you check local IP, subnet and default gateway. then you know what IP to try [16:22] I'm not trying to be a pain, I want this solved. [16:22] hmm [16:23] Leefmc: we do not support xampp. xampp will break your ubuntu. HARD [16:23] usser: is there any more mature technoology for my goal? btrfs seems early too [16:23] Threethan: then do what I asked you [16:23] wols_: Eh? [16:23] wols_: Why loi [16:23] Threethan: your #ubuntu+1 issues should be discussed in #ubuntu+1. Incidentally, that channel will be a lot slower, so you can keep up more easily [16:23] Leefmc: xampp is not in ubuntu and breaks it. not supported. [16:23] I did. Again, and again, and again. [16:23] Threethan: you use intrepid? [16:23] ”export PATH“ does not make the PATH variable survive a system restart, right? [16:23] How do I know what is an ubuntu+1 question, and what a unbuntu question is. [16:23] Kira: right [16:23] wols_: Ubuntu can't handle xampp? What does xampp do thats so anti-ubuntu? I ran it for years on Windows for a local dev environment [16:24] Threethan: what are you running? right now? [16:24] Threethan: go to the #ubuntu+1 channel. That channel deals with Intrepid [16:24] Not that I know of. I'm on my windows XP sp2 machine. [16:24] Leefmc: it's not in ubuntu, it's no ubuntu quesiton. good day [16:24] rmaj, a hardware based raid with pretty much any filesystem [16:24] wols_: to make it survive a system restart, I need to change the variable in ~/.profile, right? [16:24] P3 running at 450 mhz with 512 mb ram- what Linux would you recommend? Xubuntu? Or Another? [16:24] Hello all, juste a simple question, where do I need to go (IRC) to get an answer about a network problem (Configuring my routers and all my firewalls to allow my servers to be seen from outside) [16:24] Kira: for example, yes [16:24] Threethan: what is your actual question? [16:24] Threethan: last chance. run the command I told you about [16:25] wols_: you mean there are other ways? [16:25] wols_: .. you just said it breaks ubuntu, and that is my question as of now. I am asking what in ubuntu, it is incompatible with (and thus, that is an ubuntu question) [16:25] usser: will not protect afair against some kinds of failures... and less portable.. I guess some sort of checksummenabled fs is what would suit me [16:25] Dante123: Yeah, Xubuntu [16:25] How to get ubuntu to recognize my bloody router. [16:25] Would it run decently given those specs u think? [16:25] bazhang: uh oh it did give me an alert here, do you want it tn pastebin? [16:25] Threethan, using intrepid? [16:25] karly, yes [16:25] I'm using Windows. [16:25] Leefmc: it breaks the packaging system. means you install stuff outside of it needlessly. not a ubuntu question. OT. if you want xampp help: go away [16:25] I want to use ubuntu [16:25] bobertdos Would it run decently given those specs u think? [16:25] !lamp | Leefmc [16:25] Leefmc: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[16:26] 7.10 [16:26] wols_: But fine, if you hate the word xampp, ignore it. How do i make a directory in root (that is, not in /home/user) writable by all programs? [16:26] rmaj, a raid can be setup in different ways it can also devote a whole hdd to checksumming your data and as far as i know ppl havent come up with anything more secure than raid. but in terms of portability yea its gonna be kinda bulky [16:26] wols_: No that was an ubuntu question, you answered about the packaging system, thats all that was needed. Forget i ever mentioned xampp loi. [16:26] Hello all, juste a simple question, where do I need to go (IRC) to get an answer about a network problem (Configuring my routers and all my firewalls to allow my servers to be seen from outside) [16:26] pistache: #networking. or your router manual (port forwarding [16:26] pistache-> here or in #networking mayby === Guest82623 is now known as Lo === Lo is now known as Locxjo [16:27] amenado: here, only if the router runs ubuntu [16:27] Dante123: Eh, it would run okay, not brilliantly, but better than it would under Gnome or KDE. I don't want to go off-topic, but there are lots of other minimalistic distros you could try too. [16:27] usser: afair zfs is more secure then raid, it will protect from power failure that happens when wwrite occures to both RAID devices (and corrupts them both) [16:27] wols_: So here, pretend i never mentioned that word you hate so much. Here is my question: "How do i make a directory in root (that is, not in /home/user) writable by all programs?" [16:27] is dmix for alsa in the synaptic? [16:27] Leefmc: please stop talking to me and take your xampp questins to another channel [16:27] wols_-> we will make him run the routing protocols on his ubuntu so he can enjoy it as an ubuntu router ! :P [16:27] Leefmc, use lamp [16:27] wols_: Forget xampp! yeesh. [16:28] Threethan: you should probably give more details [16:28] amenado: unlikely [16:28] bobertdos okay thanks. Is there any others you recommend to look at in addition to Xubuntu? [16:28] bazhang: Will do, but can we get off this damned lamp/xampp talk? [16:28] Its irrelevant to the question heh. [16:28] Leefmc-> you ever thought of /tmp ? [16:28] how does one make a zip/tar/rar a .deb? [16:28] amenado: putting webserver files to /tmp is about the stupidest things you can do [16:28] amenado: Well its not temp documents [16:28] saiki: I told you before. Did you read the documentation ubottu sent you? [16:29] bazhang: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/41900/ [16:29] saiki: for an easy way, look up checkinstall [16:29] wols_: foorrgettt web server. gaashhh loi [16:29] Dante123: I like Puppy Linux. It initially runs off CD, but you can configure it to run a session from a single file, so that's kind of cool. [16:29] wols_: You' [16:29] jrib: yes, but it didn't make sense to me [16:29] wols_: You're a frustrating man. ;P [16:29] rmaj, unfortunately all those features are only currently supported on Solaris and OpenSolaris, linux support is lagging behind [16:29] wols_-> for temporary things is not stupid..but then again i jumped into a convo , i didnt have prior knowledge [16:29] wols_, my fstab: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41899/ my menu.lst: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41898/ my device.map: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41897/ [16:29] Leefmc: stop that or I need to waste another /ignore on a moron [16:29] My loss it seems. [16:29] saiki: you should ask questions about what didn't make sense then... [16:29] help me..i cant see my aplication like firefox or whatever when i minize [16:30] anyone help [16:30] jrib: I'm not linux-smart, I'm trying to be though [16:30] i have one question if theres no problem [16:30] usser: thanks [16:30] jrib: nd um... none of it made sense.. [16:30] saiki: then you need to start somewhere else [16:30] wols_-> you seem perturbed this morning..may i offer you a cup of joe? calms the nerves..hehe [16:30] I have a motorola W850G router. I have ubuntu 7.10. My router is recognized on my win computer, but ubuntu won't connect to the internet. It's wired, I know the router, ethernet card, ethernet cord and modem all work. I've done what it says on the site. I've done sudo ifconfig eth0. I get nothing from the internet. [16:30] bazhang: Anyway, i'll checkout lamp. Thanks for the help :) [16:30] when minize,the folder is missing..anyone help me [16:30] Anyone experience the black screen+system lockup on boot when using ATI fglrx drivers on ubuntu 8:04.1 and ATI X1650 pro AGP card? [16:30] when minimize,the folder is missing..anyone help me [16:30] im new in linuz [16:30] im new in linux [16:30] wols_, now when i boot in grub, for whatever reason i have to use hd(0,Y) to boot any os :( (i just edit it in the grub menu at boot) [16:30] amenado: Heh, "perturbed", i would have put it much differently. .. involving a stick, and a donkey. [16:30] agent: why the mapping for windows? [16:31] I've even done dhclient eth0 [16:31] and the important part is: how does your BIOS see your multiple disks? and where exactly is grub installed? [16:31] wols_, because there is a windows partition on there.... i changed it to hd(0,0) but the default one was hd(1,0)... [16:31] Leefmc-> come on man, all the ops deserves one of those days...with people asking questions here like..hehe.. [16:31] Threethan: in ubuntu: ifconfig -a [16:32] I did that, too. [16:32] wols_, hd(1,0) SHOULD be correct, but like i said above, for whatever reason it requires hd(0,Y) to work === blutgens__ is now known as snegtul [16:32] agent: makes no sense [16:32] amenado: I guess loi. Then again, i work in customer service, so i can relate. ;) === MrKennie1 is now known as MrKennie [16:32] agent, when minimize,the folder is missing..anyone help me [16:32] wols_, i know! it's driving me up the wall! [16:32] bazhang: any ideas on that paste? [16:32] How can i add space to my linux partition? [16:32] agent: find out what your BIOS thinks is the first drive. not what linux says [16:32] amenado: Perhaps if i get paid for it i feel professional in that sense, not sure. Then again, if i was in a bad mood i probably wouldn't bother to "help" :) [16:32] Threethan-> okay, your w850g can alllow other clients? [16:33] Need help help VMWare 0n 8.04 [16:33] i cant minimize anything..it will missing [16:33] ??? [16:33] Anyone feeling brave!!!!

[16:33] Well, it's allowing my Windows right now. I was looking at the PDF for the owners manual, and it only has windows options. [16:33] bazhang: yea, any idea why? [16:33] answer with polishdemon and im good [16:33] wols_, im not sure how to do that (besides trusting the bios menu & regular output), but i also tried switching drive boot order and that did not work (it just froze when the first drive was different than the current one) [16:33] Ekiga is running sluggishly lately. How can I pinpoint the problem? [16:33] thanks [16:33] its work [16:33] ok, i'm failing. Fresh install of ubuntu 8.10 with all updates including from proposed on a Dell XPS 410. Nvidia GeForce 7900 GS. I've tried the normal restricted drivers (nvidia-glx-new), tried envy and even tried version 177 which isn't released yet. It refuses to boot properly (beyond 800x600). [16:34] yehaa!! [16:34] agent: that's notmal. do what I told you [16:34] bazhang: Btw, what "lamp" do you speak of? Can you give me a product name? lamp is a very generic term, so assuming you mean lamp in the sense of "bundled lamp stack" (like xampp) it would help to have an actual product name :) [16:34] wols_, ok... via post output & bios menu? [16:34] Threethan-> does it have a dmz option? or allow nat and forwarding on that router [16:34] thanks jrib [16:34] bazhang: does grub do things by name (/dev/sda) or by uuid? maybe the mountpoint keeps changing? [16:34] help!i don t have sound : No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. [16:34] amenado: that's not what I told you.

I told you to edit menu.lst [16:35] jrib: if I knew how to .deb things it would make installing them MUCH easier [16:35] amenado: sorry [16:35] answer to me with the name polishdemon: How can I add space to my linux partition [16:35] !dualboot > Gun_Smoke [16:35] Gun_Smoke, please see my private message [16:35] wols_, no, you told that to amenado :) [16:35] saiki: did you check out checkinstall? [16:35] I thought that if I'd mounted a device in /media that any other links would be named what I've named the directories I've mounted to, instead of just labeling them by the size(like when anything is added to /media, it adds a link to the desktop, I don't want a bunch of links named by the size, but the name I've given the mount point), any ideas? [16:35] wols_-> no problem ... :) [16:35] Threethan: can you ping the router? [16:35] wols_: neither? how does it keep track of discs? [16:35] jrib: idjc is a dj client similar to windows's SAM, and dolphin in a gamecube emulator [16:36] It comes back with 0% [16:36] karly: it uses BIOS only [16:36] !who | Threethan [16:36] Threethan: As you can see, this is a large channel.

It's not just a question of resolution, but of the driver not working. I get the "bulletproof" mode at boot. cwill747 no need, I know the basic troubleshooting for video/nvidia issues. [16:44] grigora: and you tried just right clicking on your clock and setting the preferences? [16:44] amenado: Yes, the windows host can access it.

I've already mentioned i'm privy to basic nvidia troubleshooting and don't need a walkthrough with the common sense basics. If you're not going to listen to me, then please stop talking to me,. [16:46] amenado: Tried that, it's going too fast for me to review it. ifconfig | more is the same way. [16:46] Threethan: I asked you lots of things which you all ignored [16:46] where can you download login screens? [16:46] cwill747: explain what exactly? [16:46] Threethan-> it should not go so fast on windows, make the windows larger, and type ipconfig again [16:46] wols_: I didn't ignore it. I replied, you confused me with someone else. [16:46] leftyfb: good luck getting any help with your attitude. have a nice day [16:46] wols_: il say its misconfigured menu.lst, there is no boot directory [16:47] grigora: why i didn't understand what you were talking about [16:47] cwill747: I am guessing I need to set the TZ variable somewhere [16:47] karly: not possible. if ther is no /boot you don't have ubuntu installed [16:47] leftyfb: seriously, fix your attitude if you want any help here. [16:47] ? [16:47] Is there a way to turn off all the log and history keeping? .bash_history sys.log etc [16:47] from busybox promt, ls gives me the standard dirs, no boot there [16:47] Vialas-ssh: ?

I try the pause|break key, but that doesn't help either. [16:48] Vialas-ssh: or "alert bell" or whatever [16:48] what's the proper place/way to set the TZ variable? [16:48] marek [16:48] karly: cause you aren't on your harddisk. it's not mounted. which is why busybox is showing. [16:48] And for some reason it's marked 'wontfix'. :-/ [16:48] Threethan-> it should not go so fast on windows, make the windows larger, and type ipconfig again..then tell me the ip address and gateway [16:48] kurwy jebane [16:49] salut [16:49] I am testing some simple sample code provided by Authorize.net to connect to their AIM service.

[16:49] Threethan: it's nice how you ignored my question again. I think I will ignore you too frm now on. HAND [16:49] Thank you, everyone, for trying to help me. But, I'm getting very frustrated. I'm going to take a break, and come back in a bit. [16:49] v1nce-> can your virtual server ping same address? [16:50] Restricted nvidia drivers are not working properly. There's nothing in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. [16:50] I have run the exact same script on a shared host that works fine [16:50] ??? [16:50] leftyfb: define "properly". Pastebin Xorg.0.log anyway [16:50] arcade: does this happen only with 8.04? [16:50] wols_, my fdisk: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41903/ [16:50] hello guys, I have a very strange [16:50] !who | v1nce [16:50] v1nce: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [16:50] can anyone help me with 0f:06.2 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD) [16:50] thing [16:50] !ask | Tona [16:50] Tona: 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. :-) [16:50] wols_ : again, I wasn't ignoring you. Take it as a personal insult if you want, but it's not. I'm trying to answer the questions that I'm asked from people that are trying to help me, just like you are. I appreciate the effort, but I can't answer fifty people at once, and still try to answer the questions fully. [16:50] jrib: didn't you read? there is NOTHING in tehre :P [16:51] amenado -> ping what server? [16:51] And, as I said, going AFK. I need to regroup. [16:51] v1nce-> the host you are trying to connect with [16:51] arcade: er, sorry, i mis-read the problem. have you tried any kernel switches? [16:51] Gnea: Nah, 7.04 and 7.10 too. [16:51] agent: last time. edit your menu.lst entry for ubuntu and change the hdX where for X you try all numbers from 0 to 2 [16:51] the thing is that I have just installed ubuntu, and I can surf some websites like google news etc, but if I go to others keep loading but never comes, if I go to windows all is ok, what can be [16:51] !bye | Threethan [16:51] Threethan: Au revoir! [16:51] Gnea: noacpi and so forth has been tried. [16:51] Gnea: No joy, though. [16:51] amenado-> i will test now [16:52] arcade: i'm not familiar with the "so forth" switch. :) could you please elaborate? [16:52] Tona-> what others? yahoo.com is okay for you? [16:52] I did not check, but even ubuntuforums is not going [16:52] or anypage that is from wordpress [16:52] Gnea: Hmm. *tries to remember*. noapic? [16:52] can anyone help me?? [16:53] or even the updates from ubuntu self [16:53] Is there any way to see a progress bar when copying files from say a thumbdrive to desktop? [16:53] http://paste2.org/p/67756 [16:53] !anyone | appeltje [16:53] Tona is your /etc/resolv.conf okay?

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [16:53] arcade: no sure if turning off APIC would help... have you tried re-routing interrupts? [16:53] wols_, it works with hd(0,Y).... i said that in the beginning...problem is after every grub-update it is reset to (ha1,Y) [16:53] Gnea: Nope. [16:53] Gnea: not familiar with rereouting interrupts. [16:53] I did not check that [16:53] wols_, s/ha/hd [16:53] agent: then you have a misconfigured groot=line in menu.lst [16:53] amenado: what I should do ? [16:53] arcade: okay - keeping APIC on is usually a good thing. pci=routeirq usually takes care of hangs/lockups [16:54] Gnea: According to the bugreport that others have filed, some have had success removing / moving away the intel-rng.ko [16:54] Tona cat /etc/resol.conf and put it in pastebin so we can see [16:54] agent: http://paste.ubuntu.com/41898/ line 74 [16:54] Gnea: But I had no joy with that. :-/ [16:54] ok [16:54] arcade: well, give this a shot and see what happens :) [16:54] agent: if you fix that line and run update-grub, all will be well [16:54] I need to go to ubuntu now [16:54] and I come back to windows [16:54] cause I can not go to chatzilla even [16:54] <_numbers_> anyone know the command to re open terminal in tightvnc on ubuntu?

[16:56] wols_, tried changing groot=(hd1,2) to # groot=(hd0,2) and no go :( [16:56] agent: did you run update grub? [16:56] v1nce-> yeah or just regular ping test.authorize.net [16:56] wols_, yeah [16:56] agent: via sudo? [16:57] Cza: as glxinfo says: direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) [16:57] Gnea: Tad annoying that it's marked 'medium,nofix' though - with no proper resolution. The bug, that is. [16:57] wols_, yes [16:57] hello ubuntu help? [16:57] no [16:57] agent: then it will rewrite your menu.lst as it should [16:57] wols_, i am attempting again as we speak [16:57] wols_: live cd didn't show discs either [16:57] karly: what sata controller? [16:58] hi there [16:58] arcade: yeah, i'm looking at them right now [16:58] karly: and how did you check for disks?

I know this is because of the previes [16:58] wols_: it's a scsi controller, perc2 [16:58] amenado-> i get 100% packet loss out of 5 packets with ping test.authorize.net [16:58] ok... I have sound via mplayer and it works great [16:58] *previews, is there any way to solve it? [16:58] I thought that if I'd mounted a device in /media that any other links would be named what I've named the directories I've mounted to, instead of just labeling them by the size(like when anything is added to /media, it adds a link to the desktop, I don't want a bunch of links named by the size, but the name I've given the mount point), any ideas? [16:59] hi :D [16:59] but for some reason sound for youtube is gone [16:59] karly: and how did you check for disks? [16:59] I know it has to do with a flash or firefox setting but where? [16:59] someone using ubuntu 8.04 please? i had a error trying install libasound2-dev [16:59] !Info libflash-support [16:59] v1nce-> can you resolve the url test.authorize.net to its numerical ip address? check your /etc/resolv.conf [16:59] Package libflash-support does not exist in hardy [16:59] someone has the same error? [16:59] shallwe: what's the error, exactly? [17:00] wols_: used DSL, don't have live cd for buntu, and I checked there, it just showed ramdisc [17:00] Recently, nautilus has been hanging on me. I know this is because of the preview feature. Is there anyway to fix this? [17:00] i cant install libasound2-dev becouse dependecys [17:00] doon please look into using udev, man udev or google for how to make udev rules [17:00] arcade: i'm guessing you have done this, but i'd rather not assume that you have: have you gone through HP's troubleshooting guide? [17:00] amenado-> when i run ping it says the ip is 64.94.118.75 [17:00] libasound2 (=1.0.13ubuntu4) [17:00] i have brazilian ubuntu :P x64 [17:00] karly: we do not support DSL [17:01] aah [17:01] I've disabled preview, but I want previews, but I don't want the hangs!

[17:14] dyf: USB CD drive [17:14] dyf: not sure then. i had Windows installed previously and I used WUBI to install Ubuntu from inside Windows. [17:14] Cza: the possibility exists. [17:15] Gnea: yes, it should be in Programming [17:15] br10ta10: WUBI can do network install?

I tried a lot of different settings but so far I could not yield proper results.. printer test page isn't printed correctly .. imageable area seems wrong - or something with the margins is wrong or so [17:15] dyf: not really, you run windows, download wubi and install it like you would any windows app, only it install linux on the disk and then you boot into linux from there on out. it's cool.

I've also removed xserver core and things, but client glx vendor string stays SGI [17:17] nivek_unix: it doesn't even depend on anything, which means it's not a GUI itself.

[17:26] johnmatrix: mercury> (mercury.im) [17:26] Iradieh: you don't have to install every mythtv component. and if you want front row, then buy a mac. [17:26] Frontrow++ [17:26] Gnea: I got a Mac [17:26] johnmatrix: apt-get update, then apt-cache search msn will search packages for MSN and you can try one [17:26] Gnea: I got a mac mini and that was just a useless comment [17:26] again I am not getting to archive.ubuntu.org [17:26] please spare me [17:26] it says unknown host when trying to ping [17:27] johnmatrix: what do you need that pidgin doesn't do? [17:27] Iradieh, well we gave the best solution possible [17:27] Though FR2 is a bit of a step backwards compared with FR1 :( [17:27] LSD|Ninja: thanks ill check it out [17:27] Iradieh: well, with your attitude, it looks like you've got everything that you really need. [17:27] Oli: it dosnt support multiple multi-person convos [17:28] johnmatrix: I haven't tried it myself, I only discovered it existed a few hours ago [17:28] johnmatrix: it really does [17:29] johnmatrix: oh.. multiple multiple-person chats... Well I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I've been in two three-person chats before (a while back) [17:29] Oli: I guess I havnt figured it out :S, also it dosnt receive msgs i receive when im offline.. amsn does [17:29] amsn just turns me off visually though lol [17:29] johnmatrix: the latest version has added offline message support [17:30] johnmatrix: you can grab the .deb from getdeb if you don't fancy building it yourself [17:30] really? cos i was just logged into pidgin, then i logged into amsn and 4 messages from hours ago popped up [17:30] oic so the one in synaptic isn't the latest? [17:30] non-focused windows have semi-transparent titlebar in ubuntu. how can I make them solid non-transparent instead? [17:30] johnmatrix: Pidgin 2.5.0 has MSNP15 support, so offline messages and personal status messages, etc. [17:31] with ccsm, mnemo [17:31] johnmatrix: nope - they only upgrade the synaptic version when there are security updates.. until the next major ubuntu release [17:31] magentar: i have it, but where? [17:31] awesome, ill try it. thanks guys [17:31] could someone google an euirc server for me? [17:31] browser aint working [17:32] taub: which?

[17:35] i want to expand my linux spaces [17:36] taub: that was my bad - irc.inn.at.euirc.net [17:36] and no, it is not "128Mb" is is 2Gb but some is allocated [17:36] how about this.. is there a kernel parameter to disable ACPI Trip points or ACPI in general, so I can attempt to debug the machine? [17:36] taub: or webchat.euirc.net or irc.bas.ch.euirc.net or irc.zur.ch.euirc.net or irc.ber.de.euirc.net [17:36] anyone have any idea? [17:36] Lunis: noacpi on your kernel line in menu.lst? [17:37] TJ13820: Try booting with the noacpi option [17:37] LSD|Ninja, I believe that's what I'm looking for, thank you [17:37] how do i do that? [17:37] duiu, and you as well [17:37] can anyone advise on unrar usage please? [17:37] Iemand die weet hoe ik in de Gconf-editor het pad opgeef van het custom logo (bij Apps > Panel > Objects [17:37] sry wrong box :) [17:37] j0nr, unrar e file.rar [17:37] is there a way to install the 2.6.27 kernel in hardy? can I just use the intrepid packages? [17:37] TJ13820: There's a boot option button on the main screen (I think it's F6, not sure), add noacpi at the end [17:37] TJ13820: then hit enter [17:38] ah [17:38] thank you [17:38] Anyone here who knows how I can change the path in Gconf-editor for the custom logo? [17:38] koto: probably not a good idea [17:38] BlackDesign: Change it in your system theme icon settings [17:38] Lunis: i try unrar e file.rar and i am not sure if it is working right as it is asking to overwrite files during the process, which makes me think it is not preserving the directory structure or something? tryinig to drop all files into one directory [17:38] LSD|Ninja: but in many bug reports a dev said that we should try this version. but how do I get it? [17:39] LSD|Ninja, strangely enough, devs closed a bug related to my situation saying to use 2.6.27 [17:39] koto: upgrade to intrepid if you want .27 [17:39] duiu, only thing I can change there are all the icons... I have the Icons I want , just not the menu-bar icon on the top left [17:39] j0nr, i've always had it preserve dir structure. I'm not sure that you can tell it not to :) [17:39] koto: that's realistically the only way you'll manage it without breaking everything =) [17:40] BlackDesign, what you're looking for is an actual icon in your currently selected icon set [17:40] Lunis: oh. it seems to want to ovevrwrite a fair few files....perhaps thats why i keep reading ppl using the -y to answer yes to everything [17:40] Lunis: ill give it a whirl. Thanks :) [17:40] Well actually you can change it in the Gconf-editor with "Use custom logo" [17:40] but I can't change the path there [17:40] Oli``: is intrepid usable at this point? [17:40] can you help voting for my idea in brainstorm? http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/12473/ thanks :) [17:40] BlackDesign, if you're using Tango, for instance, there is a specific icon in there you change. or at least that's what the theme readme's i've read have said [17:41] and if I go to usr/share/icons, the icons I use are not there [17:41] <_ba> question on psybnc any ideas what could be causing vhost to use ip versus vhost when connecting to irc? [17:41] BlackDesign: Copy your icons to /usr/share/icons [17:41] hello [17:41] hi plz tell me how to learn linux as i am a beginner,like what approach to follow,what books and websites to read i will be highly thankful to you [17:41] BlackDesign, if there's a way to specify it in gconf let me know, that would be epic win [17:41] what are Ubuntu backports repos and should they be enabled ? [17:42] i don't know how to export a movie in cinelerra. if i try, the movie is either without video or the video is not shown properly. another problem is the final size of that movie file: 3min length means about 400mb filesize. why is that? [17:42] hi, i can see console-terminus font is installed but i cant select it in any program ? any diea ? [17:42] Lunis, normally its under Apps > Panel > Objects (and then Menu bar or something) There you can normally select use custom icon [17:42] cryingtux, cool things that get added to newer versions of ubuntu that are cool enough to get added backwards [17:42] dinesh_: Beginning Ubuntu or Beginning Ubuntu Server both have good general linux command-line stuff. [17:42] BlackDesign, ah nice, i'll try it [17:42] Yeah, and in case you are able to change the path, let me know :p [17:43] Lunis: nope it definately didn't preserver directory structure. [17:43] Lunis: so can i add these repos safely? [17:43] Lunis: it dumps all contents irrespective of location, all into the current working directory [17:43] duiu:i am beginning in ubuntu [17:43] j0nr, i would look in man unrar then, to see if there's some specific switch [17:43] j0nr, it's odd though, i'd say, that it doesn't preserve by default [17:43] I get a question mark after installing Ubuntu on my Mac mini and grub as well [17:43] The answer to my question was "Open and close the CD drive" [17:43] odd [17:43] How do I show a list of installed packages using the command-line? [17:44] dinesh_: Those are book titles [17:44] cryingtux, I would say you can. I've never had problems with backport repos [17:44] xyblor: dpkg -l [17:44] xyblor, dpkg -l [17:44] xyblor, dpkg --list [17:44] lol thanks guys [17:44] hi guys, http://pastebin.com/m733c669d <- any suggestions how to solve this problem? [17:44] xyblor: dpkg -l|grep to search installed packages [17:44] Lunis: me too... used archive manager in the end... but it would have been nice from command line. ah well [17:44] Lunis: i found a full list of repos, i will paste it, can you please look at them and recoomend /drecommend any ? [17:44] duiu:please tell me from where i can get these [17:45] ! paste [17:45] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [17:45] dinesh_: amazon [17:45] Can someone please help me [17:45] I get a question mark after installing Ubuntu on my Mac mini and grub as well [17:45] cryingtux, just drop the paste in a pm and i'll tell you what i do know, though that may not be much [17:45] hi.

[17:46] dinesh_: No, they're books. You have to buy them at a place that sells books. [17:46] dinesh_: or go to a library [17:46] nonfree unrar is usually the one that works for me [17:46] Which command to change and select font in text mode?

[17:47] duiu:actually i cannot buy these tell me about some website related to linux thanks [17:47] j0nr, i usually use nonfree, i think [17:47] pistache: (what language is that, anyway?) [17:47] brandon__, : http://polishlinux.org/choose/comparison/?distro1=Ubuntu&distro2=Fedora [17:47] Plese help me. How to change font in text mode? I mean change font in init 3 [17:48] duiu:actually i cannot buy these tell me about some website related to linux thanks [17:48] Afternoon all. [17:48] Installing Ubuntu Alternate on a laptop and I got the following error: "Debootstrap Error Invalid Release file: no valid components." [17:48] can i use photoshop cs3 using wine? [17:48] no [17:48] is it possible to increase the ubuntu partition? I am using the windows installed version [17:48] jepp [17:48] test27, wine doesn't support is yet [17:48] test27: check on http://appdb.winehq.org/ [17:48] cs2 works though [17:48] dinesh_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com// [17:48] pls help me how do i format my 500 gb external hdd from fat to ntfs in ubuntu8.04 I DONT WANT TO LOOSE ANY DATA ON IT === Awsoonn_ is now known as Awsonn [17:49] ? [17:49] tgpraveen: that's not possible, unless you copy the data off, format it, and copy it back [17:49] How to change font in text mode? Thanks [17:49] Lunis: how would i ensure i was using nonfree? [17:49] test27, maybe you can use cinelerra [17:49] some one said [17:49] in winodows xp i heard itspossible [17:49] and we can help each other [17:49] I ran into a problem and had to boot into Recovery Mode and have it Fix X. Now, I'm back to the old problem (that was fixed with an update) where the window headers disappear when I enable Compiz instead of Metacity === Awsonn is now known as Awsoonn [17:49] tgpraveen: it is possible in Windows XP. It _might_ be possible in gparted, but I think duiu is right. [17:49] tgpraveen: and ubuntu doesn't format to NTFS, you can only use windows [17:50] Lunis, where you able to change the path? [17:50] tgpraveen, you WILL loose the data if you do that :) [17:50] cinelerra? what is this? is it like wine? [17:50] Hi. Is there any command in ubuntu could setup font like slackware? [17:50] test27, that is a semiprofessional video editing tool. [17:51] oh darn so even if i am ready to loose the data i cant format to ntfs frm ubutnu right? [17:51] http://paste.ubuntu.com/41919/ <- any suggestions how to solve it? [17:51] I googled. Is there any command could reset my console font? [17:51] owww [17:51] is there a softphone that you can playback MOH audio with sip foundry available on Linux? I dont want to change the SIP server because of MOH. [17:51] tgpraveen, use gparted [17:51] tgpraveen: I believe so, just hijack someone else's Windows computer [17:51] test27: http://cinelerra.org/ [17:51] tgpraveen: now, why would you want to format to ntfs while using Ubuntu? If you want to format to ntfs for using the disk in Windows, why not change from FAT to NTFS in Windows? [17:51] when installing ubuntu with windows vista and windows XP installed all on 1 harddrive, GRUB doesnt see windows XP, is there a reason why? [17:52] Does it see windows vista? [17:52] yah [17:52] DAMN. [17:52] ? [17:52] well, that stopped my joke.. [17:52] duiu:thanks for the advise is this perfectly suitable for beginners [17:52] ohhh yeah when using windows xp on virtualboxover linux can i play some games like crysis? [17:52] I get a question mark after reboot when installing Ubuntu on my Mac mini and grub as well [17:52] Please tell me how to change font in text mode? Is there any package ? [17:52] brettley: because Windows has its own bootloader and Vista eats XPs when it installs and puts an entry in it in its own loader. So point it at vista and it should give you the option of selecting XP [17:53] brettley: that's assuming you stuck Vista on after XP [17:53] brettley^^^ [17:53] test27: http://www.heroinewarrior.com/cinelerra.php3#download [17:53] and if not, you may have to add a line into grub... [17:53] Oli``: vista was already there and XP ate vistas bootloader [17:53] lol [17:53] hide1713: try "consolechars" [17:54] brettley: so before grub came along, you had a bootloader giving you the choice of XP or Vista? [17:54] no [17:54] if I have a PC with two NICs, can I make a setup such that one's plugged into the wall, and the other is plugged into my laptop, but for all intents and purposes it's like they're both plugged into the wall? [17:54] i could boot to vista only [17:54] because i restored the bootloader with an OEM disk [17:54] i cant seem to see video on the reuters website [17:54] i get audio though [17:54] so...xp isnt there to any system, let alone one that will report it to grub [17:54] j0nr, nonfree is called unrar-nonfree i think [17:54] BlackDesign, let me look now [17:55] Lunis, ok ;) [17:55] Rakeer: wouldnt XP alteast report to grub? [17:55] brettley: oh okay. Well try pointing grub at the respective partitions manually then. You'll need to work out which partitions they are exactly, but here are the rough instructions: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ [17:56] xp is sort of in...purgatory... [17:56] brettley: you don't need to bother with LiveCD jazz if you're already in ubuntu [17:56] not really ther,e not really dead... [17:56] what if i pulled the harddrive that had each OS on it until i was ready to boot with ubuntu? would it see all of the OS's then? [17:56] like, have vista on 1 [17:56] then pull that one [17:56] then install winXP on another [17:56] you could probably run a repair install on vista and see if it finds it again... [17:57] i did run repair, and it only had winxp [17:57] er vista [17:57] i just installed opera 9.5 deb.. but i cant find an icon anywhere to launch it? am i missing a step here? [17:57] repair on vista, ROFL!!!!!!!!!!! [17:57] hmm, I would remove linux and vista drive, run xp repair install [17:57] ohh then re-install vista? [17:57] how do i figure out what video codec www.reuters.com is using? [17:57] er [17:57] put the drive back in :P [17:57] brettley: I did a while back. It's a PITA but it works. Made even more useful if your BIOS has a nice priority switching doobrey (I can press F8 on bios load and it'll let me change which disk it'll try first) [17:57] then, run a vista repair with vista and xp drive up, so they bot are on the boot loader, then hook up grub [17:58] is there any way to get a wired 360 controller hooked up to Hardy? [17:58] user01: I think reuters is using flash. [17:58] user01: it's flash. so FLV of some variant [17:59] rubyat, weird because youtube working fine for me but not reuters [17:59] Oli``: i DO have a gigabyte board that lets me select witch loads first on one PC, but the swapping of harddrives would only work on a desktop, im talking about a dell lappy :) [17:59] even more suck [18:00] Quick Question...if I futzed the USB driver, how do I get a fresh one installed? [18:00] Oli``, i cant seem to get video to work on it and i have adobe flashplayer installed [18:00] brettley: usually installing XP, then Vista, then Ubuntu would be the perfect setup (if you needed all three). I'd expect the Vista bootloader to eat XP's but add an antry for XP in its own. And then Ubuntu to eat Vista's but add an antry for it on its own. [18:00] Rakeer: i have tried runing the repair while windows XP had the bootloader, it didnt work worth squat [18:00] why would you repair if it was working... [18:01] Oli``: the problem is, i need vista pre instaled [18:01] Oli: right I just suggested him to do that... [18:01] i cant loose the info thats on that partition [18:01] Rakeer: sorry I'm all over the place =) [18:01] hehe [18:01] I know, it's early... [18:01] and late [18:01] it's latearly [18:01] brettley: have you tried just adding a new entries to grub pointing right at the Windows partitions? [18:02] ^^^ see thats what I said [18:02] yes [18:02] but it got lost in the storm [18:02] but it gave me a funky eror [18:02] Hello [18:02] which error brettley? [18:02] windows xp /sda1/windows/ or whatev? [18:02] Oli``: something about memory or something [18:02] I am having a issue with evolution mail client [18:03] Grenyaris, what do you mean? [18:03] How can I see the date/time a file was created? in gnome I only see "modified" and "last accessed"... [18:03] brettley: remebering what errors say are key...to success [18:03] xbxb|afk: impossible. ext3 does not store that information [18:03] jrib: why is that? and are there any file systems that store that information? [18:03] dmesg on hardy heron prints each message in the form [digits] message. What are these digits? [18:03] Oli``, can you see the video here? http://www.reuters.com/news/video [18:03] brettley: did you add the chainloader +1 argument to the grub entry? [18:04] user01: yep [18:04] xbxb|afk: I don't know the answer to either of those [18:04] rakbeer: i really tried hard but unable to run wireless network on my laptop i am having vista premium as the other os [18:04] Oli``: what is that supposed to do? [18:04] thanks though, jrib [18:04] user01 : yes I can [18:04] Oli``, is it flash? [18:04] xbxb|afk: stat [18:04] brettley: sets it up for another bootloader (iirc) [18:04] user01: yup [18:04] hey how to create new partition on linux? [18:04] test27, use gparted [18:04] Oli``: it WAS when vista had boot loader, so im thinking it was looking for a bootloader that wasnt there, and im thinking that if i can make the vista partition hidden while it has a bootloader, winXP can take a bootloader without removing vistas bootloader and then ubuntu can recognize both of them [18:04] i have used gparted and created one but i cant write on it [18:04] Oli``, not sure how i will troubleshoot it then [18:05] did you mount it? [18:05] please help me [18:05] yeah [18:05] xbxb|afk: ina terminal ls -la will show you date/time [18:05] test27: use gparted. you've already been told =) [18:05] only root user can write on it [18:05] The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server.

All related information should be here: http://paste2.org/p/67775 [18:08] But I am still having my wireless problem. For over a week now, and nobody has been able to help me fix it.

[18:11] Bliepo: you could try this: 1. shut down network manager 2. shut down avahi 3. kill any dhclient, dhclient3 or similar that might be running, 4. Find the network you wish to connect to with: iwlist wlan0 scanning, 5. select the network with: iwconfig wlan0 essid , 6. Get a new ip address with dhclient wlan0 [18:11] I'm having Nvidia problems. All related information should be here: http://paste2.org/p/67775. Can someone help me with it please?

You can disable it there [18:29] doon: is the drive partitioned and formatted? [18:29] ummm how about not using terminal? [18:29] RB2: who made compizConfig? [18:29] test27, no. [18:29] tensei, and as a bonus, you get to play with all the effects. :) [18:30] test27: what exactly are you trying to do? You should not run X as sudo. [18:30] tensei, probably the compiz guys?

[18:55] I have a ubuntu install on an external usb HDD. It doesnt boot on my hp laptop. It doesnt show up in the boot list. Any ideas? Im running it on an HP laptop [18:55] should there be a ~/.profile [18:55] ?

[18:58] frostwire cool thanx i figure best to ask lol i tried a few but he couldn't work it lol [18:59] I meant deluge [18:59] frostwire is like limewire [18:59] deluge is a torrent client [18:59] im initiating someone that don't even know windose lol [18:59] then they shouldn't be using "advanced" torrent clients [19:00] lol [19:00] I don't know what is mezzo, but that kind of thing is the top reason why many prefer windows instead of linux: linux is a great OS, as long as you are happy with those apps included in your distro (so they are easy to "sudo aptitude install appname"). But as soon as you want to run some app that is NOT part of your distro, you begin to see what's wrong with today's linux distros (this *could* be corrected with the correct attitude !), so it is [19:00] NOT a fundamental error in linux, it is just bad decisions when implementing ... [19:00] stick with transmission which comes with ubuntu 8.04 [19:00] im tired of fixin his stuff lol [19:00] problem with nvidia driver - installs and runs every time, but i have to reinstall it every time i reboot. wtf?

[19:01] cool [19:01] Rakeer, what is that [19:01] mika_videodev: if he's not already running KDE, then installing KDE applications is asking for more resources/potential problems then is needed. Especially for someone with pre-existing issues. [19:02] windmill: ~/.profile is a user's account profile. it doesn't have to exist. if you don't have it, your PATH is just the system-wide PATH. [19:02] : I have used kwrite and kate even when my desktop is not KDE but icewm [19:03] mika_videodev: I didn't say it wasn't possible [19:03] prince_jammys, ok cool, so where is the system wide path set? [19:03] windmill: in ubuntu, i think it is set by the 'login' binary [19:04] #ubuntu-br [19:04] prince_jammys, so it's hard coded in the binary and not changeable? [19:04] windmill: change your PATH in ~/.profile by creating the file [19:04] windmill: it's not hardcoded. and there is no system wide path [19:04] prince_jammys: no need to create it [19:05] wols_: huh? [19:05] prince_jammys, wols_, surely there must a way to set the system wide default?

[19:09] E: _cache->open() failed, please report.” [19:09] wols_, ok cool I'll do that but how is my path getting set currently? [19:09] ir2: did you run what it said to correct the problem?

[19:59] Just installed exaile... added a plug in to take the task bar entry out (expecting it to dock it like amarok), and now I can't get to the player anymore... I'm sure I just don't know how... anyone use exaile? [19:59] is there anybody who is really good with configuring sound and pulse audio on ubuntu hardy? [19:59] tyl3r: well yes when i said full speed i meant that i fully get my 3MBit connection XXDD [19:59] compengi: check your respective fstabs? (assuming they're right). Or you'll have to do a combination of fdisk -l with checking sizes of partitions etc (or just look at the contents of all the partitions) [19:59] ah ok ;) [20:00] so thats no issue for you hehe [20:00] wols_, can't be performed from the current running distro or only from livecd? [20:00] hey all...I am trying to read-write to my NTFS partition...I installed NTFS-3G, however I still cannot read/write as the checkbox that says "enable write support for internal device" is grayed out. Any thoughts?? [20:00] compengi: Sure it can. Just mount the other partitions and look [20:00] Okay [20:00] is there anybody who is really good with configuring sound and pulse audio on ubuntu hardy? [20:00] compengi: can be done from current distro too [20:00] would tasksel be a good way to install apache mysql and php together [20:00] I hope the n standard will be acceptable soon... [20:01] !lamp > sexbuntu [20:01] sexbuntu, please see my private message [20:01] basd: is it currently mounted as ntfs-3g? [20:01] I dont need more cables here in my appartment, its enough already ^^ [20:01] Hello everyone, first time here, just ditched vista on my laptop and file server for Ubuntu, so far so good [20:01] hi all.. is there anybody who is really good with configuring sound and pulse audio on ubuntu hardy? [20:01] ironyCurtain: I'm not sure...how can I check? [20:01] !anyone > xubean [20:01] xubean, please see my private message [20:02] Good god, i tried to use taskel remove on the lamp stack and it damn near removed my entire ubuntu install loi.. i was not expecting that. Wonder why the lamp-server felt the need to leech into gnome and et al. [20:02] basd: Do you have ntfs-config installed? [20:02] wols_, if i can see the partition where the other os is running as sda, what would that mean for (hd?,?) [20:02] I just reported my first bug! [20:02] compengi: usually hd0 [20:02] !helpersnack | Overand [20:02] Overand: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [20:02] basd: type mount at the command line [20:02] K, wols. I'm running ubuntu.. Is that close enough? [20:02] wols_, btw it's an external hdd [20:02] storm-zen: for this channel: yes [20:02] is there a way to auto remove dead links in apt-get ? [20:03] Flannel: yes, I did "sudo apt-get install ntfs-config" and it installed [20:03] basd: dead links? [20:03] Great. It removed Terminal. [20:03] er, ballzee: dead links? [20:03] ballzee: what are "dead links"? [20:03] hey all [20:04] Flannel: Is there a way to install many of the default ubuntu apps? I made the mistake of trying to remove lamp-server and learned that to remove the lamp server, i have to say goodbye to ubuntu. heh. [20:04] Flannel: this is the line: "sudo apt-get install ntfs-config" [20:04] Leefmc: install ubuntu-desktop [20:04] Leefmc, aptitude install ubuntu-desktop [20:04] Flannel: How would i get to that? [20:04] Leefmc: also install ubuntu-standard and ubuntu-minimal, just to be sure [20:04] Flannel: sorry: "/dev/sda1 on /media/disk-1 type ntfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,umask=222,utf8) [20:04] " [20:04] hmm, F1-6 might work [20:04] hi all.. can i add a normal user to any particular group to enable him to write to an external partition as it is mounted? [20:04] Leefmc: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-standard ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-desktop, andyes, ctrl-alt-f1 [20:04] by default,a normal user cant write to external partitions right? [20:05] basd: you need to mount it as type ntfs-3g, not ntfs [20:05] hi all, i'm trying to set up 6.1 surround sound on hardy, and I want to use my 2nd sound card, the creative audigy, but i can only play using the built in intel sound card, can anybody help me? [20:05] but i am dealing with an isolated home system,so security is not at all concern.. [20:05] ironyCurtain: thank you, that might be it. How can I mount as type ntfs-3g?? [20:05] shyam_K: what you probably actually want to do is find out what automounter you're using and set it to mount new partitions with the 'user' option [20:05] anyone know why my Pigeon icon is just a white box in the status tray [20:05] i am running 7.10 server now, and mdadm raid 0 and raid 1 on seperate drives, i can wipe clean all partitions ( except /home) should i have any probelm if i do fresh install of 8.0.4.1 ? [20:06] Bhavesh: in theory no, if you're extremey careful - b but why don't you want to just do an upgrade? [20:06] basd: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sd /location/of/the/mount/point [20:07] i'm trying to set up 6.1 surround sound on hardy, and I want to use my 2nd sound card, the creative audigy, but i can only play using the built in intel sound card, can anybody help me? === klusiili is now known as j4ri [20:07] hello, my gnome main menus have turned into only one icon for all three, how do i get applications and system back? [20:07] basd: and of course you can put the equivalent in your fstab to do it every boot [20:07] bombshelter13: is there any "standard" simpler way so that a non-techie can deal it with an ubuntu dvd and system in hand? [20:07] ironyCurtain: thank you [20:07] Overand i don't mind at all.. one reason is i have been just practicing different raid tools (dmraid /mdadm with lvm) i just want to get a clean start [20:07] Bhavesh: as long as you don't mess with the drives, no. The disks have tags on them labelling them as raid members, and the new OS should assemble them just fine. I did it from Slack 10 to Ubuntu 7 with no problems [20:07] ironyCurtain: how can I configure fstab? [20:07] how do I get applications places and system back? [20:08] basd: edit /etc/fstab and add a line with that information... it's really straightforward, but google is your friend if you have trouble [20:08] bombshelter13 that's very helpful!! i don't have anything important on raid at the moment only on /home which iam not going to format, [20:08] Bhavesh: is /home on a seperate drive? [20:08] Flannel: So how do you uninstall something (like the lamp server stack) without destroying your system? Thats one thing that often frustrates me, sometimes i want to revert all of the installations involved with a program, without harming other programs.. how can it be done? [20:08] Oh well, I'll try the forums :) [20:09] Bhavesh: best time to try it is when there's nothing important on the raid, yes. :) That way you can make sure you know how to do it before doing it on a real raid. But all things considered it should really be a lot simpler than you're expecting. [20:09] Overand no /home is not on seperate drive, just different paritition and i know which paritition is mounted as which directory [20:09] Bhavesh:I was expecting there to be something dificult but nah, I just reinstalled the os, turned on mdadm, and told it to scan and assemble arrays. [20:09] Bhavesh: really, your *best* bet is to move that data accross to another system, as a backup - 'just in case' [20:10] Bhavesh: theoretically you can do exactly what you're saying, though - you just have to be careful =] [20:10] bombshelter13 that's why i have been testing different things out..now that i have better understanding i want to wipe it clean and start with fresh 8.0.4.1 [20:10] Leefmc: well, lamp is actually pretty simple to remove by hand, but check out the autoremove feature of apt-get [20:10] Overand the /home has about 8.4G of data should not take too long to move it [20:10] does steam with wine run really slow for anybody ? [20:10] erUSUL: Why "against"? A linux package is no adversary. [20:10] Bhavesh: sounds good, you should be fine :) [20:10] audio in youtube or any firefox session is gone.. video works fine and mplayer can play any mpegs etc with audio/video just fine. any ideas? [20:10] Flannel: Heh, i made the mistake of using the taskel remove feature, and it damn near screwed me. [20:10] Leefmc: I have no idea why removing lamp from tasksel removed everything, that's a bug, and I'd be sure to file one. [20:10] bombshelter13 thanks for reassurance :) [20:10] Overand thanks for your help [20:10] bombshelter13: so its more to do than adding user to any particular group such as plugdev? [20:11] Leefmc: Or rather, you should be sure to file one. Since really that doesn't make any sense. [20:11] Flannel: I killed the process before it could do too much harm heh. [20:11] how can I register my nickname? [20:11] in chat [20:11] bombshelter13: will adding user to root group help?!:) [20:11] just thought about it.. i have a drive running on that machine that is not used anywhere, i can always back up the data there and [20:11] Xcerca, yes steam itself is kinda slow... games like cs:s and hl2 should run fine though [20:11] shyam_k: I don't know what plugdev is normally allowed to do... adding the user to group rout is probably not the right solution :/ [20:11] if I add my user name to root group does that mean I will never have to enter in a password or sudo [20:11] ubuntu [20:12] usser alright , cool [20:12] smm289: You don't want to do that. And no, it won't. [20:12] i would like to get a doc about what these user groups refers too. i have been searching for a bit now.. couldnt reach it.. [20:12] Flannel: Well for example, im trying to remove all the packages listed on the apache page. Aptitude then tells me its going to remove amarok, xine, ubuntu restricted, etcetc.. why? [20:12] Leefmc: listed on the 'apache' page? which one's that? [20:12] because they depend on that packages [20:12] ironyCourtain: I get this message when I try to mount it using ntfs-3g: "fusermount: mount failed: Device or resource busy [20:12] FUSE mount point creation failed" [20:12] how can i search for comps on my router? [20:13] Flannel: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [20:13] and log onto those pcs [20:13] hi [20:13] ? [20:13] anybody have any luck manauly installing a usplash screen, like off of gnome-look of the like ? [20:13] how do i configure the visual effects, like the desktop cube and such? [20:13] ok thanks === Adam is now known as Rezagrats [20:13] Flannel: Heh, i was told to use all that crap for a simple development environment, because xampp would cause so much harm, yet so far xampp is fine and this damn thing is driving me mad. [20:13] Leefmc: Which packages are you removing, specifically? (just paste the single line here) [20:13] Leefmc: Xammp isn't needed, what do you need help with with LAMP? [20:14] Flannel: Under "Starting over, How to remove the LAMP stack" on that page, the entire bit [20:14] I need to help a friend but she's on a windows desktop. does ubuntu have Windows Remote Helping ? [20:14] ok i'm using fluxbuntu and i want to set up wifi.. my wifi works and is connectable but i can't seem to find the router on the flux box [20:14] woli System > Prefrences> Apperance [20:14] Rezagrats it has rdesktop ( remote desktop ) which can connect to a windows machine and login to remote desktop connection [20:14] put system back TOPSECRET? [20:14] woli : system.->preverences->advanced descktop effects [20:14] Leefmc: I'd say aptitude is doing something funky. It's also possible that those programs depend on one of htose (perhaps one of the perl libs?) try apt-get instead [20:14] woli: if it's not there, 'sudo apt-get install ccsm' [20:14] again an error? [20:15] bombshelter13: compizconfig-settings-manager [20:15] thanks bombshelter13 and Xcerca [20:15] flannel: corrected [20:15] anyone familiar with xps1330, have 802.11n and it worked fine under windows but in ubuntu it says connection is 54? any ideas ?? [20:15] Flannel: Well honestly, on that page im not seeing anything as easy/friendly as xampp, i have no need to a real lamp server setup, i just need to boot up a small php development environment for a short while. Xampp has been used for years for that, and its worked great, i dont wanna have to launch 10 things just to work on a php script. heh [20:15] how can i scan for comps on my router? [20:15] not to mention my other typos ;) [20:15] <__mikem> Does anyone know of any software I can use to create my own gtk widget themes? [20:15] Flannel: apt-get remove, correct? [20:15] Leefmc: You don'thave to launch 10 things, ... just install the half dozen packages, and you're off and running [20:15] bombshelter13, are you sure that it is ccsm? [20:15] Leefmc: yeah, but if you want, do -s first, so you can see what all will be removed [20:16] Mr_Fixit: try #fluxbuntu [20:16] bombshelter13: no 'ccsm' - something similar mabe [20:16] woli: as Flannel corrected me, it is actually 'compizconfig-settings-manager' === xicubed____ is now known as xicubed [20:16] heh [20:16] how can i add new google widgets in the widget layer [20:16] ??? [20:16] Flannel: that talks about the same thing, amarok, ubuntu-restricted, etc. [20:16] woli that is IF you have compiz installed [20:16] hey [20:16] only 26 ppl in #fluxbuntu.. and they are chatting about nintendo.. <-- i know cuz i'm there [20:16] Leefmc: Pastebin the output please, I'll take a gander === happyface0 is now known as happyface [20:16] compize already installed & layer widget also [20:17] i'm running edgy eft, and now my repositories say 404 what should i do [20:17] I installed ubuntu to an external hdd using the default installer. It installed the MBR to my main hard drive, but I removed that. How can I boot ubuntu by booting from a usb device? [20:17] Flannel: PMed [20:17] Leefmc: since if its actually doing that with apt-get, that means you're removing a depend. So its possible that the wiki page is in err. That "how to remove" bit is new (I've never seen it), so it could very well be. [20:17] any wifi set up help? === arkadiusz is now known as Fazer [20:18] Flannel: Ah [20:18] !wifi [20:18] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [20:18] Flannel: Well for now imma just use xampp, an hour or two of a development environment isn't worth all this hassle heh. [20:19] happyface, have you setted the usb disk as primary boot device in the bios? [20:19] thanks Flannel, bombshelter13 and Xcerca ... PS: I have compiz [20:19] Otacon22: I tried booting from the usb device in the bios but it doesn't work [20:19] Leefmc: Why? First off, what's your actual problem with LAMP, why is it not working? [20:20] Flannel: At the moment, just a bunch of small crap, if i could remove it all and start over it would probably be fine, but its still more time invested than i care to heh :) [20:20] Leefmc: alright, so, for one, (one reason it removed) libapr is a dependency of subversion, so... that "how to remove" bit is ... overzealous. Assuming you don't have anything else depending on those. I'm sure the others are similar situations [20:20] how do i add foreign characters o_O or is that just a matter of fonts? [20:20] Flannel: Ah, nice [20:20] happyface, you need to be sure that the bios boot the usb disk, then when you install ubuntu at the last page of installation config you need to click on advances and there is the grub conf, you need to check that grub will be installed into the usb hard disk [20:21] Leefmc: sudo apt-get purge apache2 apache2-mpm-prefork apache2.2-common [20:21] Leefmc: that'll more or less start you over as far as apache is concerned. [20:21] ok.. if I broke my apt cache where packages aren't seeing deps and things... can someone tell me the cli to do a repair on it? [20:21] Leefmc: but, if you gave specifics, we'll be able to help you better. [20:21] Flannel, apt-get purge is equal to say apt-get remove --purge ? [20:21] thanks Otacon22, but is there a way to install grub onto the usb device without reinstalling ubuntu? [20:21] Flannel: if they have an app prepackaged to run well on XAMPP using the versions of the tools included with it, it's pretty reasonable to use it instead of the standalone packages.... [20:21] Otacon22: As of hardy, yes. (apt-get purge was added in hardy) [20:22] ah [20:22] Flannel: Maybe later, but if i am going to put any effort into getting an actual lamp stack up and running i'll set it up on my local server heh :) [20:22] Flannel: Im rather surprised ubuntu doesn't have a development environment like xampp ready to go [20:22] bombshelter13: xampp isn't in the repos, and as such, you don't get security updates/etc. It's a bad idea to use non-repos packages when there are better ways. [20:22] happyface, i don't rembember how, but you can: using the live cd you can reinstall just grub into the usb disk and check its config [20:23] thanks [20:23] Flannel: That is to say, 2 minutes up and running environment [20:23] you need to use a command like grub-install [20:23] Leefmc: Its because you don't need them. lamp stack works fine, and doesn't require the developers to duplicate their efforts for no reason [20:23] Leefmc: LAMP is... two minutes and up and running. [20:23] Flannel: Ah [20:23] when i double click on .deb package it gives an error libsso.9.7 dependency not satisfied [20:23] Leefmc: If you had problems, you should ask and we can solve them. Other than that, LAMP has no drawbacks, its not like its difficult [20:23] Flannel: the app they're running on top of it probably isn't in the repos either, updating the underlying stack could potentially have a higher risk of breaking their app than just using what they know works. [20:23] Flannel: Well maybe i'll give it another go some other time then :), i just saw that they were all independant, etcetc. I didnt feel like starting and stopping multipl;e servers, etc. [20:24] how do i fix my repos [20:24] Flannel: I'm certainly not saying that's how I'd do it if starting a new project, but if their app already is confirmed to run correctly on the setup, why not use it? [20:24] Leefmc: You don't have to. That's not how it works, but sure. [20:24] i am loving ubuntu server ;) [20:24] Flannel: I did ask, but i got help from someone else hehe, sort of made me a bit brash atm :) [20:24] this is funny, i was browsing shop.canonical.com and saw the ubuntu t-shirts, i have an idea, if i can do some coding for someone and get one of those in return ;) [20:24] which is default MTA for ubuntu server? postfix/exim/sendmail? [20:24] any reason my none of my natilus folders seem to open [20:24] Flannel: Not nearly as friendly as you my friend hehe [20:24] csa3d: probably yes. [20:24] Leefmc: obviously they didn't fix whatever problem you had :) [20:25] Flannel: Made me frustrated and angry ;D [20:25] bombshlter13: awesome.. any idea where to start looking [20:25] ;) === Fazer is now known as Fazer2 [20:25] csa3d: unforunatetly I'm not so sure about that part ;) [20:25] Bhavesh: believe postfix is default, exim is also in main [20:25] I'm looking for a program that can resize all images in a directory to a specific size. Is there one in the repo for this? Or is there another one you'd recommend? [20:26] csa3d: what is it doing instead of opening them? [20:26] all of my friends wants to use ubuntu to remove viruses in their usb..so write access to external partitions mounted without much hazzle can make their transition smoother..as they can avoid seeing gnu/linux still as a techie oriented OS.. [20:26] Flannel: Imma download the ubuntu server cd and get my old machine up for a simple dev server later, i'll give the real lamp a whack then [20:26] when i double click on .deb package it gives an error libsso.9.7 dependency not satisfied how to fix it? [20:26] onexused: look into imagemagick, it's a suite of cli image manipulation tools. [20:26] i have an existing server running with postfix/Mailscanner/clamav/spamassassin, any suggestions on best way to mirgrate the settings? [20:26] also interesting, i have an update alert icon visible, and when I go "install all updates", enter my password, nothing seems to happen [20:26] just copy /etc/appname/*.conf file over? [20:26] edman007: yes smaller platters... edman007 well besides the typical 15k rpm drive has platters in the 2.25" dia range, 10k rpm drives are in the area of 2.5" and 7200 are around 3.25" [20:26] qr: Thanks. I will. [20:26] oops [20:26] csa3d: the more info you can give about exactly how it's failing, the better chance we have of knowing what's wrong. [20:26] bombshelter13: when i try to open one from the places menu, nothing hapens [20:27] Flannel: As always, thanks a ton man. Your a king among men hehe :) [20:27] it's almost as though the process dumped [20:27] can someone help me, my repo servers give me 404 now, what should i do [20:27] csa3d: hmm, you specified local. Does it work for some ( I suppose remote ) locations? [20:27] Leefmc: If you have problems with it, install a cli-only system from the alternate CD. The server CD has less (well, as far as home computers are concerned) hardware compatability (because it adds 'real' server compat) [20:27] Leefmc: no problem [20:27] how can i scan for comps on my router? [20:27] scifiguy951 define 'scan' for comps [20:27] scifiguy951: you mean computers connected to the same network as you? Use nmap. [20:27] bombshelter13: the scripts running on top of apache depend on apache for security, so it's a bit different as far as updates are concerned. Also, there are a number of things that run on LAMP that are actually in the repos. [20:28] Flannel: Sounds good, is it possible to install the server cli without a monitor? (Possibly remotely?) [20:28] scifiguy: ping everything in your subnet, or if you can be reasonably certain that everyone connected is using DHCP, check the DHCP leases on the router [20:28] i cannot open any nautilus windows currently [20:28] what about wifi trouble shooting?? i know how to set it the wifi but it's still not connecting.. [20:28] I'm trying to setup Samba to share files with a Windows computer and I right clicked the folder and chose to share it, but then what? I can't find any Samba configuration thingy in the System menu. [20:28] Leefmc: Yes. Although I can't do more than give you a page with a bunch of methods: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Server%20and%20network%20installations [20:28] hi [20:28] does ubuntu have anything to keep track of my phone numbers and addresses? [20:28] hello, is my wireless working? [20:29] csa3d: try openning a terminal and launching nautilus from there, it might be more informative about why it is failing [20:29] for some reason mdadm keeps telling me /dev/hdd1 is busy [20:29] Leefmc: theres a number of ways there, something should work in your situation. [20:29] and i just partitioned it [20:29] Flannel: K thanks [20:29] Bliepo, seems so ;) [20:29] going to get something to drink [20:30] droopsta915: I'm sure it does, and I'm sure it has a couple. I believe the default method would be through evolution. [20:30] Flannel: Most likely though, just dragging over a monitor would make it 10x simpler i assume? [20:30] Leefmc: Probably, yeah. [20:30] Flannel: Righto :) [20:31] how do i fix this Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.46 80] [20:31] hey all...I installed the NTFS config tool, but I still cannot write and read to the NTFS partition.

I got it from here.. bad env var [20:32] is there a way to straighten out synaptics?

[20:35] lorph, i just checked. the server is not down. it's just that ubuntu doesn't support edgy anymore [20:35] compengi: so what can i do [20:35] jmichelsen: ? [20:36] wols_: I was talking to you earlier today as Karly, you remember? I had boot problems [20:36] yes [20:37] will i wasnt able to dl live cd but, installed ubuntu on diff hdd [20:37] lorph: upgrade [20:37] wols_: got a minute to look at my menu.lst on the other hdd? [20:37] compengi: how do i install libsso.9.7? [20:37] lorph, as krim said. you can't do anything [20:37] isn't there some other repository [20:38] or can i just change edgy to gutsy [20:38] lorph: only solution is to upgrade [20:38] i am using a vps under virtuozzo [20:38] noone here who uses KVMs ? [20:38] ganesh, don't you have that library provided with the package you are trying to install? [20:38] http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Ubuntu/2006-09/msg02631.html this one too ends without an answer,how to configure ubuntu's automounter to make every external media mounted to have write access for normal user.. [20:38] lorph, you could try, but you would be better to just download a new CD and actually start afresh it would be faster, and safer [20:39] lorph: and 8.04 (Hardy) is the latest version, not 7.10 (Gutsy) [20:39] i want to setup an ftpd with an account that uploads all files to /var/www [20:40] and has the user httpd-data === slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic [20:40] was wondering if that is possible [20:40] wols_: even better, is there a way to show if the drive is even being recognized? [20:40] wols_: from within ubuntu [20:41] any ideas? [20:41] or at least a place to look [20:41] darkscrypt: try #ubuntu-server if you have no luck here. [20:41] ompaul: i can't upgrade myself, because virtuozzo doesn't let the vps owners upgrade the kernel [20:42] whenever i choose to hibernate my ubuntu laptop (hardy heron), instead of hibernating my system does a complete shutdown. I suspect this is due to settings setup in my /etc/default/acpi-support file.....specifically for the variable called "HIBERNATE_MODE" . Does anybody know how i can actually hibernate my system instead of doing a system shutdown? [20:43] this should really be a headache to non-techie users of ubuntu right? to dont have write access to externally mounted devices like usb..? what could be the standard way to overcome it? [20:43] lorph, then you need to find a better provider [20:43] Java is just HATING my Linux box, any solutions? [20:43] alittler: Give it flowers? [20:43] jmichelsen: not sure what you're doing, but try 'sudo fdisk -l' to list partitions [20:43] hey i have ubuntu hardy but whenever i run KDE applications, the "Mac OSX" type bar shows up at the top. [20:44] this happens namely for Amarok, programs like knotes of course don't have that problem [20:44] how do I get that menu bar to go away [20:45] prince_jammys: thanks, will what I had a problem with is i reformatted my pc, was running xubuntu8.04, used the same disk to format and reinstall and now wont recognize that hdd [20:45] mochabcha, it's somewhere in kcontrol [20:45] ok guys if you had to prefer a windows to linux terminal would you prefer putty or xterm [20:45] mochabcha: You could try installing kcontrol, then you can set the "theme" for your menu bars. [20:45] sdwrage, i would use urxvt [20:45] ok, thanks i'll try that [20:45] jmichelsen: does 'sudo fdisk -l' show it? [20:45] lorph: update to feisty [20:45] prince_jammys: it does not show it [20:46] jmichelsen: lspci -nn [20:46] prince_jammys: dont know why tho, it finds it to install onto [20:46] folks... getting this error: The following packages have unmet dependencies: [20:46] xorg: Depends: xserver-xorg but it is not going to be installed [20:46] E: Broken packages [20:46] is there a way to repair this... looks like synaptics is choked [20:46] Aquahallic: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

Version 1:7.3+10ubuntu10.2 (hardy), package size 175 kB, installed size 608 kB [20:47] Aquahallic: you have broken repos [20:47] yeah... any way to repair this problem? [20:47] wols_: doesnt show either hdd that way, shows the ide and sata controller tho, but no scsi controller [20:47] lorph: Even feisty won't be a solution for long. Feisty will read EOL in a few months (October). However while you're negotiating with them to not give you unsupported versions, you can use the edgy repos at http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ [20:47] Aquahallic: cjppse a dofferemt pme [20:47] Aquahallic: choose a different one [20:47] jmichelsen: then you don't have a scsi controller [20:48] can a person have multiple people who own a single file or folder? [20:48] lorph: But again, those releases *do* *not* contain updates, just packages. All the vulnerabilities (and there are a few major ones that have been patched) still exist in edgy. [20:48] where can I find a list of alternatives? [20:48] darkscrypt: no, but the group owner can solve that [20:48] Flannel: it's a VPS. he's expected to update stuff himself usually [20:48] mochabcha, right click on the desktop -> Behavior -> disable Menu Bar at Top of Screen [20:48] wols_: ubuntu installer finds it fine [20:48] anybody know how to fix 'xgl not present' error or where I can look? [20:48] jmichelsen: then don't lie and say lspci doesn't [20:49] Frederickrabbit: what videocard? [20:49] i don't have kubuntu, i have ubuntu with gnome, thats the problem [20:49] wols_: lorph said they won't let him upgrade the kernel. Which... in itself is a huge red warning flag. That's horrible security. [20:49] wols_: it doesnt show it [20:49] Flannel: it's normal for VPS. can't be done otherwise. but he can at least update his suerland [20:49] *userland [20:49] jmichelsen: stop lying if you want my help [20:50] wols_: wtf your problem, why would i be lying, i am here to ask for help [20:50] jmichelsen: cause your statements don't add up. so you must be lying. eliminate the impossible and what is left is the truth [20:50] wols_: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/41958/ [20:51] wols_: a better possibility is a misunderstanding. Please be nice. [20:51] wols_: Radeon 7200 [20:51] wols_: sorry (kids) === Sergeant_Pony is now known as KB1OHY [20:52] jmichelsen: yes you did. line 20 [20:52] jmichelsen: what kernel version?

[20:53] Frederickrabbit, that card supports dri just fine i have it running on a box next to me. [20:54] jmichelsen: you should check your dmesg for any messages about megaraid, perc or any and all disk drives [20:54] Why did I have less workspace on Ubuntu than I have at the same resolution with XP? [20:54] Frederickrabbit: did you check if dri is enabled? [20:54] is there a log file of all the commands I type and the messages returned? I want to look for something I did 3 hours ago ... but don't know why [20:54] wols_, i think he doesn't know what's PCI Bridge, that could he his situation :) [20:54] don't know how [20:54] cause you have one more panel ;) [20:54] be* [20:55] dmoerner: ok.

Maybe it will correct the problem [21:27] John0Neil: If the net settings are still the same, the nvidia driver or xchat didn't do anything. I would suggest a few internet specific checks, such as making the ethernet cable is plugged in, etc, unless it is dual boot with XP. [21:28] John0Neil: Restarting is a good place to start. [21:28] Should I use something like: wget {blabla} | shutdown {blabla} ? [21:28] assargadon: no [21:28] I'm running Hardy 8.04, trying really hard to view DVB-T transmissions.

[21:30] ty every one who replyed [21:30] assargadon: yes I am [21:31] hello [21:31] So I installed the linux-restricted-drivers packages, which installed the nVidia propreitary drivers, and I enabled them under the hardware manager. I rebot was required, and then after that Ubuntu booted into Low-graphics mode. I tried manually configuring the stuff, but I'm still stuck at 800x600 resolution. My xorg.conf file is configured for the correct resolutions, but they don't show... [21:31] ...under the resolution manager. Also, the nVidia drivers have dissappeared in teh hardware manager, even though the package is still installed. Any suggestiosn on how to fix this, or even just revert? [21:31] greate :) [21:31] dmoerner: that dont work either :p [21:31] gnea, i contacted acer and asked if my specific model (via serial number) has bluetooth onboard and the answer is no. "the models that ship in the US and Canada do not come with bluetooth modules on the motherboard" [21:31] what's recommended way to migrate configuration of existing apps to new build ? stuff in /etc ?

[21:33] Bhavesh: no [21:33] how do you start editing something in vim, save it and then exit? [21:33] thanks [21:33] dmoerner: wols_: Okay, I'll try [21:33] sebastian_: use nano [21:33] Bhavesh: no afaics [21:33] sdwrage, vim test, then :x or ZZ or :wq to write changes and quit [21:34] i have used debian for ages, so i don't think i will have problem with ubuntu either [21:34] When turned on my laptop, I was notified that 99% of my disk space was used up. Yesterday, it was probably only close to 65%. Is there some disk manager tool that I can use to locate what happened, or is there a fix to this problem? [21:34] sdwrage, press esc and then :q for quit or :w for save [21:34] klndz3: df. du. especially check log dirs [21:34] Twinity: now it works [21:34] thx :) [21:34] great ^^ [21:34] klndz3 on a terminal type df -h that will give you mount point for each partition and how much u are using [21:34] klndz3: disk analizer in Applications>accesories [21:35] klndz3, try dirstat also [21:35] are there any differences between vi and vim [21:35] ?

[21:36] to rebuild the driver on apt upgrade [21:36] rubystallion: no we don't [21:36] ok grub error 21 on first boot after ubuntu 8.0.4.1 install [21:36] br10ta10_ there is no dirstat command [21:36] ok one more question.

[21:36] !permissions > sdwrage [21:36] sdwrage, please see my private message [21:36] rubystallion: just make it part of the kernel compilation process "make; make install; make modules_install ; mkinitramfs .... ;(reboot) ./nvida-installer -K (reboot)" XXDD [21:37] Twinity: to do that it has to remove nvidia-glx-new, which is what I think the driver is... [21:37] thx [21:37] erUSUL: that sounds good [21:37] duiu, nvidia-xconfig is just a gui for configuration [21:37] erUSUL: unsupported [21:37] rubystallion: it's not. he is very mistaken [21:38] wols_: Why? Can you please explain? [21:38] rubystallion: no. I don't explain stupid ideas [21:38] duiu, i had the same problem as you but nvidia-xconfig helped me much ;) [21:38] Twinity: I know, but when I do apt-get install nvidia-xconfig, it says "the following packages will be removed 'nvidia-glx-new' [21:38] klndz3, google it. its a download. graphical view of what du provides.

[21:39] grub was some how installed on root hd(3,0) [21:39] wols_: erUSUL: I can still change my mind, I just need to think about the pros and cons [21:39] Twinity: Ok, i'm install nvidia-xconfig [21:39] changed it to hd(0,0) [21:39] erUSUL, debian and ubuntu kernels should be compiled with calls to make-kpkg or debian/rules if you have to roll your own [21:39] should i open a bug report or something? [21:39] wols_: Didn't you ever try that stupid idea yourself? [21:40] dmoerner: i have my way since 2.0.xxx kernels ;P on red hat 5.0 all vanilla nothing distro especific (except initrd) [21:40] rubystallion: I never told other people to do it like erUSUL did === bianca|OQP is now known as bianca [21:40] erUSUL, this is #ubuntu, not #redhat-antiques [21:41] rubystallion: wols_ ok i take my words back stick to supported configurations [21:41] dmoerner: ok [21:41] erUSUL: Do you do that yourself? And why would you recommend it? [21:42] erUSUL: I'm a student so investing a little time in the beginning wouldn't be a problem if it pays off in the end ;-) [21:42] rubystallion: i do and i do not recomend it i just saying how to do it if you are willing to cope with all the things that can go wrong [21:42] do there exist any performance tests for ubuntu systems?

[21:50] Bhavesh, recursive [21:50] misteralexander: but make sure that you KNOW what yur are doing ! [21:50] Bhavesh: recurse through the directory (sub)tree [21:50] is it not dangerious to tell someone to do that as root? [21:50] because bill gates hates you [21:50] ganderous i mean [21:50] Twinity: Great, it worked fine . . . thanks! Yeah, I was removing some directories I created in /media for a partition I'm no longer using. [21:50] misteralexander just be careful using that command everywhere [21:51] nevermind [21:51] Bhavesh: yes it could be dangerous [21:51] Hi, can anyone help me with disabling the behavior where the workspace changes when I use the vertical scroll mouse button on the desktop?

[22:40] hmm my laptop cpu fan seems to run constantly [22:40] hubar: that sunbird thing by mozilla is also useful [22:40] ok it realy simple if i boot mine laptop without network cable present and network is working, pc goes realy slow [22:40] but it is standallone [22:40] t [22:40] lvm2 is too smart.. it remembers lvm info since before reinstallation of ubuntu :) [22:40] erUSUL: that site didnt help me [22:40] i have all the correct drivers and stuff [22:41] sebastian_: System>Admin>Hardware drivers [22:41] synaptic gui dont work, to bring terminal it takes ages, when i put network cable in i instantly get ewrything normal, under a sec response time...

(Keep in mind i want full functionality via terminal) [22:41] anyone know why that might be? [22:41] erUSUL: its enabled and in use [22:41] usser, the only one that returned anything was glxinfo: http://pastebin.com/d5a526a06 [22:41] sebastian_: glxinfo | grep direct [22:41] remoteCTRL: Oh I was asking what to use for a newsgroup reader, not a calendar application :) [22:42] good evening, can anyone tell me how to use the nopaste with terminal? [22:42] Leefmc, are you doing that for space? if not, then you can just change the runlevel [22:42] erUSUL: maby cedega just told me wrong, because my 3d effects and all works [22:42] ok [22:42] Leefmc: no will not do the job, that will only uninstall some 20mb [22:42] need_F1: very weird ... have you checked if some process eats cpu on the first case? top [22:42] direct renedring yes :p [22:42] hubar: newsgroup not groupware, my bad [22:42] Leefmc: No, you would need to remove everything that ubuntu-desktop depends on ( except for things like ubuntu-base ) [22:42] sebastian_: then you will have to ask some cedega expert [22:42] RB2, so lsmod | grep nvidia didnt return anything. err its glxinfo | grep direct not lsmod | grep glxinfo [22:42] SpaceBass: No, strictly because the machine doesn't have a monitor. I just dont care to have it boot up a desktop, runlevel is what i need? [22:42] hubar in that case maybe lifera [22:42] nothing, it just slow [22:42] erUSUL: ok thx for the help :) [22:43] Leefmc 3 I think [22:43] usser, ahhh I thought you were list a bunch of grep parameters. ;) [22:43] SpaceBass: I'll look into it, thanks [22:43] need_F1: :| nothing strange on logs?

[22:44] nothing strange no errors only on boot "cups" take longer [22:44] pan is a pretty nice newsgroup reader :) [22:44] Leefmc: runlevels don't do anything in ubuntu unless you switch to runlevel one and that would turn much more then just graphics off [22:44] usser, glibx | grep direct: http://pastebin.com/d64d42c9f [22:44] Khisanth it is.. i have used it for the longest time [22:44] ewen when stop printer shares it have alot hang time [22:44] hubar: damnit!:D i give in [22:44] Leefmc: Just disable GDM from starting [22:44] !boot | Leefmc [22:44] Leefmc: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [22:44] Bhavesh: me too [22:45] * Leefmc clicks [22:45] usser, the modprobe did nothing, just returned [22:45] I have very slow video playback when using xine fullscreen, on the other hand using totem video is fluid fullscreen, I used to have fluid playback fullscreen once, so i must have messed up/or created a conflict with some libs or changed a setting somewhere.

Thanks for your time! [22:53] FAJALOU: on some sites it even offers me the installation of the "missing plugin" (although i have already installed it!) [22:53] remoteCTRL: Well, i'll give the reboot a shot i mean. I already used that and it seemed to remove symlinks just fine :) [22:53] mountdevbrain: go into terminal [22:54] i still disagree with yao_ziyuan,,, grar [22:54] FAJALOU: but when as i click "install missing plugins" it doesnt find anything appropriate [22:54] RB2, no problem [22:54] FAJALOU: sudo apt-get install libflash-swfplayer [22:54] i need help with tasksel installer, it gives me a "tasksel: aptitude failed (100)" [22:54] mountdevbrain: open terminal [22:54] FAJALOU: yes and then?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [23:05] I am unable to connect to a few websites [23:06] ah ok, thanks [23:06] lt_daniel787: what websites? [23:06] checked your dns server? [23:06] lt_daniel787: you get any error ? [23:07] this silence is awkward:D [23:07] somehow i like it ^^ [23:07] I am unable to connect to a few websites, such as hotmail, facebook, yahoo... for example, I connect to hotmail initially, but then it takes forever saying "waiting for login.live.com", I tried Mozilla, I tried opera, I even tried ie4linux... facebook has similar behaviour, I can log in, but then when I hit a few pages it says waiting and never loads, same occurs with yahoo mail [23:08] 0.0 [23:08] feeling the effects of gustav [23:08] lt_daniel787, 42 [23:08] lt_daniel787: what does ping 64.4.33.7 return?

[23:11] hello. how can i stop apache2, mysql and postgres from starting automatically when I reboot? [23:11] every time, it worked fine at the beggining, then after a while, it started doing that [23:11] lt_daniel787, thats not windows, reinstalling wont fix any problems ;) [23:11] lol [23:11] #agapl [23:11] lt_daniel787: can it be that you got some parental control on on that router of yours? [23:11] divinegod, sudo aptitude install -f; sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude install python2.5{,-dev} [23:11] nope sir [23:12] the option is there, but I have it disabled [23:12] tried to ping facebook's domain?

[23:12] I pinged the facebook domain, it works [23:13] cheers erUSUL :) [23:13] it is very strange [23:13] because this problem starts acting up after a while [23:13] unop: help us out please:D [23:13] lt_daniel787: i would make a guess that the problem is related to your router rather than your installation [23:13] anybody know why my sound would be going out in the middle of playing an avi file after 20 mins it starts to crackle out then goes out completely vlc player will then not open i have to restart for it to open again [23:13] the reason I re-installed ubuntu so many times was because I was trying to pinpoint what did it [23:13] I travel a lot [23:13] bum is good? [23:13] I'm a pilot [23:14] so I go on a lot of different "routers" [23:14] lt_daniel787, did you try to reboot your router? [23:14] unop: thanks [23:14] I tried that [23:14] so that lt wasn't just a decoy or so*g* [23:14] didn't do it unfortunately [23:14] lt_daniel787: try this (i wild guess) "echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling" then try the affected sites [23:15] lt_daniel787: if i were in your place my next guess would be to connect the computer directly to the net without the router inbetween so you know what is the source of the problem [23:15] god I love ubuntu :) [23:15] me2 [23:15] stdby [23:15] let me try the cable [23:15] who doesnt? ^^ [23:17] lt_daniel787, if you ping facebook for a minute or so .. do you have much packet loss? === lukeoconnell is now known as lukeoconnell_ [23:18] ok [23:18] I'm on a wired network now [23:18] let me try hotmail [23:18] ok [23:18] strange enough, when on the wired connection, everything is working fine [23:18] lt_daniel787: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:18] I'm going to try wireless again and see if the problem persists [23:18] i have a cool idea but dont know if it's actually implemented anywhere... i'd like the desktop to be a usable desktop but also have a terminal built in. anyone know of a way to do that? [23:18] why would my system monitor report that my 80 gig hard drive is 97% full, when the disk usage analyzer only reports 11gb is used? === lukeoconnell_ is now known as lukeoconnell [23:18] lt_daniel787: then there is your diagnose [23:18] how do you run xorgconfig? (it's changed in ubuntu), my mouse has died so I can't figure out how to help myself; I have a command line open so that is all I can work with (keyboard); please pm me, it will be a while because I will eat dinner [23:18] somebody has installed ubuntu in aspire one? [23:19] bdunlap: there are terminal emulators that work like the quake console you hit a key and you get the console [23:19] bdunlap: you are looking for desklets [23:19] ok, now everything works fine.... [23:19] remoteCTRL, no ive used those and they aren't what I'm looking for. [23:20] with wireless or wired connection [23:20] I don't know what did it [23:20] erUSUL, ooh where can I find that? [23:20] lt_daniel787: it updated your cached dns records so it will work until those exipre [23:20] quit [23:20] lt_daniel787: the ploblem is caused by the router [23:20] so what can I do about it? [23:21] lt_daniel787: you would have to "take apart" the router? [23:21] sounds like too much trouble [23:22] can't I just set up my router somehow? [23:22] lt_daniel787: maybe it helps if you reset it to its factory defaults and reconfigure it [23:22] or set up ubuntu to update DNS records? [23:22] bdunlap: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=193520 [23:22] lt_daniel787: maybe there is a fimrware update for your device that covers some bugs... [23:22] lt_daniel787, i agree to remoteCTRL, just reset your router and reconfigure it.. that may help [23:22] hello there [23:22] hi [23:22] lt_daniel787: ubuntu does that for you as long as it can [23:23] I have just installed Ubuntu. Why is everything bigger compared to Windows XP at a given resolution? (1280x1024 in my case) [23:23] is there a reason that my gvfs-fuse-daemon has grown to 71 gb? [23:23] how do i find my 'JAVA_HOME' path? [23:23] or is that normal size [23:23] * sd I have a ubuntu server I am trying to install Unreal ircd on it but it is saying permission denied [23:23] John0Neil: I meant to ask you this earlier, but how are you comparing sizes? [23:23] John0Neil: Possibly and incorrect DPI setting [23:23] family_: echo $JAVA_HOME [23:24] Debian-8ubuntu1.2 [23:24] do anybody but me , have a problem with world of warcraft using wine ? [23:24] sorry to take so much of your time guys, but do you think it could have something to do with the DHCP settings? [23:24] erUSUL, thank you :-) [23:24] John0Neil, ehm... what do you mean? only the desktop icons? [23:24] sd you will need superuser rights, see man sudo [23:24] outbriber, number of item fitting in screen. simple as that. icons are bigger, I have less bookmarks for a given space in firefox, etc [23:24] torx1704, the wine app database proberly has extensive guides/troubleshooting info for WoW. [23:24] and if echo doesnt return anything? [23:24] torx1704: crossover could do that.. [23:25] Twinity, no it's the same in firefox [23:25] crossover ? [23:25] bdunlap: http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/columns/how_to_use_quake-style_terminals_on_GNU_Linux [23:25] remoteCTRL is that free ? [23:25] family_: then you have no such variable set [23:25] Question: If you use the ubuntu repo to install phpmyadmin, where does it install to? Its not being put into /var/www (apache's http file loc) [23:25] torx1704: not at all... [23:25] * sd :D [23:25] remoteCTRL: i have i paied money for that [23:26] remoteCTRL, then i cant use that === sd is now known as Jims [23:26] sd for crossover? its quite kewl i think we got it at work for ms office... [23:26] i don't know what u mean man [23:26] Hi [23:26] Tell me, is it possible to SAFELY resize a NTFS partition, using only Ubuntu installer tools? [23:27] John0Neil: Did you ever get your internet working again? Twinity may be right, it might be an incorrect DPI setting. [23:27] torx1704: only wine derivates that i know to support wow decently are cedega and crossover, both of them non free [23:27] outbriber, never said that ^^ [23:27] anyone get my answer? (pm me me through /query) [23:27] remoteCTRL, im playing wow using ONLY wine [23:27] cizra: it is possible but resizing partitions is allways risky to some extend ... [23:27] torx1704: you can of course accomplish that with wine but it requires a lot if fiddeling.. [23:28] Err, sorry Twinity, that was Jordan_U [23:28] ;) [23:28] do anybody know to a ping/dc problems playing wow using wine ? ;) and how to fix em ? [23:28] Twinity: so what are you waiting for? tell him how to:D [23:28] erUSUL: So there are ntfstools and whatever? Or does the installer partition thingy support it? [23:28] outbriber, yes the network is ok now. I have set off HPTE and Memory protection off in bios. I'm not sure if it is related. I will take a look at DPI [23:28] remoteCRTL, what do you mean, i have to change some settings in wine ? [23:28] cizra: gpartez con do it (ntfstools installed) [23:28] Flannel: You around? [23:28] cizra: gparted con do it (ntfstools installed) [23:28] remoteCTRL, i dont even know where his problem is ^^ [23:28] Jordan_U: where do you go to adjust DPI settings? [23:28] What fonts do you guys use for terminal? [23:29] cizra: ntfsprogs [23:29] Twinity, is it my problem you dont know ? :P [23:29] torx1704: well wine hast a quite substantial list of parameters that can be tweaked... [23:29] erUSUL: OK, thanks. [23:29] torx1704, i know ^^ [23:29] outbriber: System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Font [23:29] ah i know where youre problem is ^^ [23:29] Twinity , do you know how to fix my problem ? [23:29] you can start but it closes instantly? [23:30] spooky [23:30] torx1704, did you already install the game? [23:30] how do you xorgconfig in ubuntu? [23:31] 1983 [23:31] Twinity, Yes but its not dcing , im still in the game , but cant talk , and cant see players ? .. its wired [23:31] lmartin92: can you provide some more information to your problem? [23:31] lmartin92, it used to be. dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg .. but that has little effect anymore. [23:31] torx1704, um.. qry me ^^ [23:31] hey unop, I'm going to pm u [23:32] lmartin92, the newer xorg is setup to work by automagically detecting hardware and configuring it [23:32] !pm | lmartin92 [23:32] lmartin92: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [23:32] Twinity, what ? :P [23:32] aw cmon stay guys its so quiet here [23:32] well, thank you very much guys for all your help... I'll look up how to fix the dns cache thing on the web... :) [23:32] anyone in here running "ultimate edition" [23:32] unop: sorry [23:33] lt_daniel788: face the facts man, it the router;) [23:33] I just didn't want to accidently mess up other people's conversations [23:33] hola [23:33] hola [23:33] lt_daniel787, try using a different set of DNS servers for a while [23:33] dstrbdfrk: "Ubuntu ultimate edition" is not an official version of Ubuntu. It is a bad hack and I recommend against using it [23:33] unop: my mouse won't work at all, usb (tried 2 different mice, all usb ports), fails a couple secs after startup [23:34] so I want to xorgconfig to enable different mouse option [23:34] jordan_u ? why is that im having trouble with the compiz i turned the effects off and now it wont let me turn them back on [23:34] but there is no xorgconfig [23:34] lmartin92, do you have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file at the moment? [23:34] so any other way's beside killing system [23:34] wait just a sec unop, will use command line [23:34] thanks for all the help... I like Ubuntu, so I'm sure I'll figure something out ;) cheers everyone! [23:35] lt_daniel787: goodspeed lewtennant [23:35] Where can I get Virtualbox help for Gutsy? [23:36] unop: got it, can't paste into a pastee though, because I can't get on internet (using alt+tab and command line) [23:36] dstrbdfrk: I looked at one of the update scripts for "ultimate" and was appalled at how unsafe it was, why not just use Ubuntu and add what you want? [23:36] unop: do you want my file? because I can't give it to a pastee and I know it's bad to paste long file to screen [23:36] lmartin92, ok. back it up like this. sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf{,.bak} # then restart X and try your mice out [23:37] ok [23:37] does ubuntu come with g++ ? [23:37] woli: Not by default [23:37] um... i think yes ^^ [23:37] neka za hot? xD [23:37] ok, wasnt sure [23:37] Also, when you install a package that fails, how the hell do you remove it from it attempting to install it all the time and failing? [23:38] m0rbid: have you tried removing it? [23:38] danbhfive: I have tried several attempts with sudo apt-get -f install [23:38] unop: how do I restart X? (without killing all my apps? or is that impossible?) [23:38] lmartin92, you have to kill your apps [23:38] m0rbid: can you pastebin the error? [23:38] lmartin92, not possible as far as i know. [23:38] m0rbid, try using aptitude. sudo aptitude install [23:38] danbhfive: sure, gimme a second. [23:39] ok, then what's the command and will tell if work when I get back [23:39] Hey guys, having trouble getting any sound out of my Digital Out, I am running Hardy Heron (2.6.24-19-generic) with an Intel ICH8 HD card(onboard), anyone know what I can do? [23:39] (I don't like to use the ctrl+alt+backspace) [23:39] lmartin92, assuming you use the GDM/KDM .. sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart [23:40] m0rbid: You can edit it's configure script to exit immediately so it doesn't fail, the reason why it does not allow you to remove it is that it may be in a partially installed state that will leave things in a bad state if the script does not continue [23:40] danbhfive: http://pastebin.com/m3b35c923 [23:40] can AIGLX be enabled to get direct rendering using ati fglrx drivers? I'm running ubuntu 8.0.4.1 with kernel 2.6.24.19 [23:40] Jordan_U, not a good idea .. better way is to edit the configure script and change set -e to set +e .. or just comment it out [23:40] m0rbid: Can you pastebin the output from "sudo dpkg --configure -a" ? [23:40] outbriber, I have changed the font size by 2 point to arrive to something equivalent. that's crazy to waste so much space by default [23:41] Jordan_U: there isnt anything to paste. [23:41] if not why does using XGL to enable direct rendering with ATI fglrx drivers produce horrible fullscreen video playback? [23:42] John0Neil: So is the font equivalent to that in XP? I just messed with mine for the first time in a while and like the extra space I get. [23:42] John0Neil: But I'm running at 3200x1050 so it doesn't make so much difference for me. [23:42] m0rbid: try just killing the package: sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/gdevilspie.postrm [23:42] m0rbid: Ok, then can you please pastebin the output from "sudo apt-get remove " ? [23:43] ok which one do I do here? [23:43] outbriber, ok. I don't know for sure about the font equivalent with XP. It's working and I'm happy with it :P. ty [23:43] I got two people telling me to do two different things. [23:43] m0rbid, what is gdevilspie ? and where did you get it from? [23:43] outbriber: if you are looking for microsoft fonts that would be sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts [23:43] m0rbid: Give us more info first, only delete the postrm or as a last resort [23:43] John0Neil: np [23:44] unop, from somewhere in the Ubuntu forums, its a GUI frontend for Devilspie [23:44] Jordan_U: ok. [23:44] m0rbid, ok, and how did you attempt to install it exactly? [23:44] remoteCTRL: naw, I was just seeing if John0Neil thought the font he got in Ubuntu was the same as the one he got in XP, he was wondering why he didn't have as much space in Ubuntu [23:44] One thing at a time, hang tight [23:45] this is the problem with installing random software without first understanding it [23:45] outbriber: space? [23:45] how do i kill the X server process from a tty terminal command line? [23:45] Whiz2, sudo /etc/init.d/?dm stop [23:45] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/d346091de [23:45] remoteCTRL: As in for all the windows on the screen. Changing the font size changed how big each program needs to be. [23:45] m0rbid: follow my directions as a last resort, or if you just get sick of debugging the issue : P [23:46] Whiz2: ps aux | grep gdm and then kill -9 processidOfGDM [23:46] remoteCTRL, heh. never do kill -9 [23:46] or ... what unop said... [23:46] gah, theres a few things on my list, like my Firefox, when it loads, and we will use that term loosely here, it jumps around alot. [23:46] hehe [23:46] remoteCTRL: would be nice with gnome, but i'm running kde [23:46] Whiz2, like i said [23:47] Whiz2: the it is probably the sam with kdm [23:47] remoteCTRL, if ever you find yourself needing to kill -9 on a process .. you should get rid of the process [23:47] unop: I'm back, why is it that my mouse works (and will die later) [23:48] unop: wel i had it once or twice with gdm... but of course you are absolutely right basically... [23:48] i used the first suggestion which worked [23:48] lmartin92, examine the output of the dmesg command .. you probably will get an idea. also tail -n 50 /var/log/xorg.0.log [23:49] lmartin92, make that. /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:49] Jordan_U: anything? [23:49] m0rbid, tell me how exactly you attempted to install this package. [23:50] unop: I'm still just a noob after all*g* [23:50] how do i run an executable from the terminal? [23:50] unop: I found the deb, and threw it into synaptic. [23:50] woli, type it's name [23:50] woli, /path/to/file [23:50] m0rbid, do you still have the .deb now? [23:50] ermm [23:50] unop: It's using PS2Explorer and I have a usb mouse [23:50] lemme find it [23:51] i did, but it says that there is no executable [23:51] unop: how do I keep the mouse from dieing in the future? [23:51] woli, whats the exact error message? [23:51] bash: : command not found [23:51] :D [23:51] lmartin92, you have to find out what the hardware is doing .. then make a decision based on that [23:52] lmartin92, it's like you calling up your mechanic and asking him "how do i stop my car from breaking down ever again?" [23:52] unop: http://code.google.com/p/gdevilspie/downloads/detail?name=gdevilspie_0.31_i386.deb&can=2&q= [23:52] which a good ftp client for linux? [23:52] lmartin92: does it die if you unplug it and then plug it back in too? [23:52] tsudot: ncftp [23:52] unop: well, I don't usually edit my xorg.conf myself, (I'm not that good), so I need to know the xorgconf tool [23:52] jrib: I'll try [23:52] tsudot: filezilla [23:52] jrib: yes [23:52] no [23:52] jrib: no [23:52] jrib: still works [23:52] * jrib is confused [23:53] sorry jrib [23:53] unop, any ideas? [23:53] hi how can I disable a kernel module? [23:53] just like a boot option [23:53] m0rbid, download the file somewhere .. say to ~/Desktop and run this command. cd ~/Desktop && sudo dpkg -i file.deb [23:53] lmartin92: no such thing like an xorcconfigtool [23:53] module=disable [23:53] jrib: the mouse lagged on be recognized so I said no, but then it got recognized so I said yes [23:53] lmartin92: is it wireless? [23:53] isn't there anything like that? [23:53] usb [23:53] m0rbid, if you run into trouble there .. let us know [23:53] jrib: usb [23:53] hello [23:53] lmartin92: weird [23:53] woli, where exactly is the file located? [23:53] unop: ok [23:54] remoteCTRL: xorgconfig (found on other linux distributions, GENTOO for instance) [23:54] i was trying to set up my dell xps m1330 with dual monitors, and totally messed up my display settings. i was following ubuntu documentation and installed nvidia [23:54] em... ~/Programming/C++ [23:54] i obviously cd'ed to that dir... === many_mails is now known as many_miles [23:54] can anyone help me? the machine will only start in failsafe low graphics mode now [23:54] woli, then type ./name_of_file [23:54] ok [23:55] lauren4667: probably a X problem [23:55] What fonts do you guys use for terminal? [23:55] hi? [23:55] thanks [23:55] from terminal, how do i list running processes? [23:55] lmartin92, perhaps this from a console. sudo xinit -- /usr/bin/X -configure :1 [23:55] Whiz2: ps aux [23:55] Whiz2: ps or top [23:55] lmartin92, if all goes well, a new xorg.conf is generated in your home folder === AngelFace_ is now known as AngelFace [23:55] lmartin92: well i am familiar with the following ways of tinkering with your x; manually edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, use system/preferences/screen resolution, or use aticonig or nvidia-settings [23:56] lmartin92, yeah, so it seems from looking at the forums. seems i should restore xorg from back up, but i'm not sure i follow how to do that.. [23:56] is there like a codeblocks-ubuntu channel? [23:56] ok unop, I'll compare my original xorg.conf and my generated one [23:56] WiFi config question: just installed on my toshiba portege 3500. WiFi doesn't work. Configured it in sys->admin->network, but it isn't listed in ifconfig (it's eth1 according to iwconfig). And "ifconfig eth1 up" gives SIOCSIFFLAGS: Connection timed out [23:56] is there a single command from the terminal to unload all but the core OS processes? [23:56] unop: same errorsr [23:56] remoteCTRL: will apt-get nvidia-settings then [23:56] unop: same errors [23:57] Whiz2: you can kill all your user's processes [23:57] m0rbid, let's have a look at the output on a pastebin anyway. [23:57] jrib: i want to kill everything but the core, because the OS as is... well... it's broken [23:57] unop: ok [23:57] hello how do i install something locally?? [23:58] lmartin92: if you have an nvidia card that would be it, yepp [23:58] Whiz2, killall -u user [23:58] Whiz2, be sure to close all your apps down first [23:58] Whiz2: you are being too vague [23:58] remoteCTRL: yep, got the nvidia card [23:58] Whiz2: You may want to run in single user mode [23:58] I have a quick question. I have a script in /etc/init.d/ that allows me to wake up the computer from sleep with the keyboard. But for some reason, I have to run it manually for it to take effect. Can someone please help? [23:58] i have an problem - Emerald Themer won't allow me to change themes... [23:59] wow there are alot of people here [23:59] Yeah. [23:59] Lol. [23:59] :< [23:59] ok here is my problem... [23:59] hey, is there a channel to ask for help regarding gtk 2 themes in ubuntu? [23:59] This one. [23:59] o.o [23:59] lmartin92: go for it then [23:59] is there an ubuntu / cpp channel? [23:59] I got hardy a coupl weeks ago === lauren4667 is now known as lgfish [23:59] woli: ##c++ but it is not ubuntu-specific === lgfish is now known as lauren4667
