[00:53] I'm so disappointed. I wanted to install Ubuntu on my girlfriend's laptop to get out of MS hell, but first I had to give up on Hardy because of the freeze issues, then I tried Gutsy, but had to abandon that because of the wireless/RT61 issues. Now my hopes are set for tomorrow's alpha5, otherwise I'll have to switch back to XP just to get a workable OS on her computer :( [00:53] amt; if you're laptop doesn't come back while in windows that is a windows issue. [00:54] bastid_raZor, that issue wasn't there before i installed ubuntu, so i am assuming this has something to do with the ubuntu installation [00:54] MortenB: you should be going with hardy and troubleshooting the "freeze issues" imo. Also, there are other distros you can try before resorting to XP [00:54] MortenB: elaborate on freeze issues - hardy shouldnt be heavier than XP [00:55] amt: it does sound like it's more appropriate for ##windows.

Ubuntu's icons are really.. massive. Is there a way to change that? [01:09] bah.. unregged? [01:10] oh ok [01:10] :p [01:10] strategy: can't you scale em? i dont use desktop icons [01:10] I think some people resize them for eee pc's [01:10] any way to force a network time update...my clock is pretty out of whack at the moment [01:11] tilgovi, restart the ntp service may do that. [01:11] oinck, dont know [01:11] strategy: let me try.. [01:11] I'm having a hard time trying to configure my dell laptop's touchpad. the Xorg.0.log gives me errno=16, can't grab event device. Any suggestions? [01:12] I know this may be the wrong place, but I am forced not to use Ubuntu on this. On Win XP I get "Cannot get PDC, code = 2453" when mkgroup -d on OpenSSH on XP [01:12] By the way, #windows and #openssh are quiet [01:12] strategy: rightclick > stretch icon.. i admit its a bit strange they all appear at a different size [01:12] WDC: that doesn't mean you should ask here... [01:13] WDC: your question is offtopic here, just be more patient [01:13] oinck, ok thanks :) [01:13] qr: Was wondering if someone on OpenSSH for Linux would help [01:13] hello everyone [01:13] Maybe it works for both. [01:13] I havent a clue what mkgroup even does... :) you may want to google/check forums [01:13] dr_willis: Lol I did. EVERY result is empty [01:13] oinck, another dumb question, i have a kinda old big fat monitor, would upgrading my monitor open up more resolution options? [01:13] anyone know how to login to computer remotely , ie get vnc to start up [01:13] Is it normal to have so many incidences of pdnsd running? http://i33.tinypic.com/kajkj.png [01:13] Vialas: VNC from the reps [01:14] Vialas: Then go to Apps > Internet > terminal server and hit ther drop down [01:14] Vialas: install vncserver; run vncpasswd then vnc in from client machine [01:14] Vialas, vnc can be configured to spawn its own desktop, or share the current running desktop also. [01:14] dr_willis, thanks [01:14] strategy: are you sure your ubuntu is using the highest resolution your monitor offers? is it the same resolution you had in windows or w/e you used before? [01:15] Vialas, i normally install vncserver, ssh in , start vncserver, then connect with a vncclient [01:15] oinck, it's at 1024x768, the highest option in the dropdown list [01:15] How can i change the font/buttons n stuffs when using pekwm? [01:15] ehmm [01:15] cool [01:15] so how do i get it to spawn its own desktop... thats like in windows right? [01:16] i accidentally remounted my filesystems read-only using sysrq... trying to remount them read-write... running "sudo mount -v -a -o remount,rw" but it's not finishing and it's taking all my cpu... any ideas?

[01:17] but I tried to boot from it on 3 computers today [01:17] Guest882: don't use enter to break up your thoughts as it makes it harder to follow what you are saying [01:17] and none of them worked [01:18] jrib: I don't particularly want to break getgmail out to a full shell script [01:18] Guest882: did you choose the "verify the integrity of the cd" option? [01:18] hmm? [01:18] jrib: I mean, if I have to I will, it's just I'd rather keep it all together in .zaliases where I can easily read it [01:18] Guest882: when you boot from the cd, choose the "verify the integrity of the cd" option [01:18] does ubuntu support filesystem sizes >2tb out of the box, and does it support resizing said filesystems? [01:18] hello [01:18] I didn't get that option [01:18] Guest882: what cd are you using? [01:19] I just set in my bios to boot from a cd first and then put the cd in.

[01:19] :D [01:19] amt: did you see what I told you? [01:20] csa3d; if you bought a dell computer with ubuntu and paid for the ubuntu support you should have a phone number to call.

[01:20] jrib: how can i change it so that i can use the windows bootloader instead of grub? [01:20] I do know that I booted from it once, jrib [01:20] for those of you who wondered about hardy not automounting a fat32 filesystem on a new thumbdrive, i simply reformatted it using gparted, reinserted it, and it automounts now. [01:20] bastid_raZor: i've taken the plunge on my own. It came with xp [01:21] CarlFK, thanks, but no thanks [01:21] amt: google "fixmbr".

[01:22] my bad [01:23] jrib, i really don't want to 'see' that ubuntu has nothing to do with this issue, i want to be able to sovle the issue [01:23] jrib, I still don't know what this verify integrity option is. I don't get it. [01:23] who is this " jrib: I'm trying to recover data from a "failed" windows hard drive [01:23] It failed this morning leaving behind a smart check message.\ [01:23] guest882? [01:23] amt: you should install wubi instead of using the ubuntu iso. [01:24] amt: wubi will use ntloader instead of grub. [01:24] amt: don't you think that determining the cause is helpful in solving an issue? [01:24] jrib, that's not what i said [01:25] jrib: once I download the ubuntu ISO, I burn it to the disc, right? [01:25] !wubi [01:25] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [01:25] Guest882: you check the md5sum first. Then you burn it to a disk [01:25] Gnea, I already installed ubuntu, would using wubi imply reinstalling it? [01:25] amt: okay, what did you say? [01:25] jrib: how do I check that? [01:25] !verify > Guest882 [01:25] Guest882, please see my private message [01:26] amt: you could go about this in a number of ways. as i understand it, and please correct me if i'm wrong, but for some reason, you would prefer to use ntloader rather than the default grub? [01:26] Hello everyone [01:27] sorry, but i have another q, what program can i use from the Get-app command for vncserver [01:27] Gnea: amt believes that ubuntu is to blame for standby not functioning in windows [01:27] jrib, is it normal for the iso to take 2 hours to download? [01:27] jrib, i do think determining a cause is helpful in solivng an issue, but you aready seem to assume that ubuntu is not the issue. if that's the case, then i believe you and i don't want to 'see' anything. i want to be able to solve my problem and be able to come back from standby mode in windows. [01:27] Guest882: depends on your download speed [01:27] Hey I hope someone can help me...I somehow lost my ubuntu grub menu but got it back but its on the wrong hard drive, and it says no partition detected when i try to use it, i think it needs to be installed to my other drive n my existing ubuntu will then boot up [01:28] amt: you should ask in #windows then. [01:28] how do i update wine? [01:28] is it included in the ubuntu update? [01:28] woli: yes. [01:28] amt: yes, I do believe that. That's my belief, but I'm giving you a way to test it, as you seem to believe the opposite. This way we can figure it out. I could be wrong of course, that's why I'm giving you a way to determine that. I'm not sure why this matters [01:28] uh ok... [01:28] thanks [01:28] Gnea, [01:28] is a thumbdrive with ext3 easily corrupted if its removed without being unmounted ? [01:29] avis: it's probably a good idea to at least sync first... [01:29] I need to get the grub menu on my other hard drive that has Ubuntu on it...can someone help me? [01:29] woli: which wine version are you looking for? [01:29] amt: there is no way that the displacement of an MBR would have any impact at all, whatsoever, upon the standby function of windows. are you using a laptop? [01:29] How can i change the font/buttons n stuffs when using pekwm? Do i have to use a gtk theme or smth? if so, how=:O [01:29] jrib, I don't really believe the opposite. All I know is that I instaleld ubuntu and somthing that worked before is not working anymore,. [01:29] Gnea, yes, I am using a laptop [01:30] Sixzero: i don't know... is that i have 1.0, and on the appdb i saw something like 1.12.x [01:30] qr, do you mean thats just so long as the thumbdrive has been recognized by ubuntu, then it would be ok, to remove it ? i'm unclear what you mean by sync [01:30] The newest stable release is 1.0.

[01:31] Gnea, oh I have that installed, but when I open it, I see no "play dvd" option [01:32] I can also just go to either linux or windows by turning off and then selecting one from grub [01:32] amt: okay, so you've warmbooted, but not coldbooted. please try coldbooting into windows and see if the standby still malfunctions.

[01:39] gah, ok so what is the most similar app in ubuntu to utorrent? --- that runs without wine [01:39] hello [01:39] Lemont_Jones: ktorrent isn't far off [01:39] ktorrent or deluge [01:39] Lemont_Jones, i tend to use ktorrent, or utorrent with wine. if you must have utorrent.

[01:56] yes after playing with this stuff i am kinda seeing where apple and microsoft get their fancy ideas for their operating systems [01:56] matthias_N well when that happened to me, i did this (ALT-F2) then type gksudo nautilus then empty the trash folder from there WARNING: THIS RUNS NAUTILUS AS ROOT SO BE CAREFUL [01:56] Running Nautilus as root. may been the reason the trash got 'stuck' It may be best to clean out the trash from the command line.

[01:57] Need info on linking to windows drive so that it works seamlessly with Linux and urls pse? [01:57] just be careful to only empty the trash that's all.. that way if something was running as root and you deleted the file it went to the trash as root permissions which is why you can;t make it go away as your regular self [01:58] hey guys it worked i unmounted and mounted it again and the folders dissapeared ...

You can mount/read/write fat/vfat/ntfs filesystems under linux. if thats what you mean [01:59] pike_: thank you it worked ...

[02:01] alistair, you are accessing a 'real' windows drive from wine? if setup properly in the wine config it should work. [02:01] dr_willis, its to do with file permissions eg if you drag a bunch of links to Linux you can work on them, but when you close down the system state is left unstable because the windows directories have not been unmounted [02:02] ick gnubbie === mutaku is now known as nubbie === nubbie is now known as gnubbie [02:02] Maczimus: your method seems to work better [02:03] alistair, thats not really sounding like a 'permission' - unless you mean the ownership/permission of the ntfs mounted filesystem. But that still wouldent stop the system unmounting the ntfs filesystem [02:03] Maczimus: what does this do actually ??? [02:03] How do I upgrade a package that has been kept back/why is it kept back? [02:03] sudo ln -s `pwd`/django_src/django /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django <----------- what does 'pwd' refer to? [02:03] alistair, you might want to write up a little web page detiling what the exact routine is and whats going on. and ask the #wine guys to look at it.

[02:04] dr_willis, Im just looking at Wine settings now; perhaps you are right there. But whats happening is that first time I can access files and change them then when I Shut down Linux there are some quick input boxes asking for my password to close file access [02:04] how do i get the ip in networks tools? [02:05] The go too quick, then next time file access does not work [02:05] hi [02:05] I a m running Hardy Heron 8.04 and would like to recompile the kernel to fix a problem with an old USB scanner, i tried to follow one of the howtos google found on the subject but Ithink I screwed something up...

The computer is getting a network address, the router sees the computer, but I cannot pass any traffic to or from the computer [02:25] does this sound like it could be an Ubuntu problem or a router problem? [02:25] jigp you can change the server where updates come from. click System -> Software Sources then in the window that comes up click on download from and select other, then you can check for the fastest server for your area [02:26] try pinging a site (www.google.com) and tell us what it tells you Choobie [02:26] amt: i'm not sure what the problem is, exactly... you might have better luck by posting to ubuntuforums.org (make SURE you put the exact model number..) [02:26] Choobie sounds like a router config problem as the system works directly in the wall. did you reboot? [02:26] i am pretty sure it just times out, give me a second. I couldn't ping other computers on my network [02:26] Sixzero, sorry, i had to reboot because i was in some sort of graphic effect loop and wow [02:27] it pings out [02:27] let me reboot again [02:27] ping times out* [02:27] does anybody here know why the xsane window stops responding when you're scanning something? [02:28] Choobie: try unplugging the router for 10 seconds then plug it back in [02:28] k [02:28] also I plugged a laptop into it and the laptop works just fine [02:29] laptop also works wireless [02:29] laptop is running Win/XP [02:29] phantomcircuit: does it respond after the scan is complete? [02:29] Gnea, yes [02:30] phantomcircuit: then it's working like it should. [02:30] Gnea, yeah i was just wondering why it stops [02:30] like theres a progress bar [02:30] phantomcircuit: that's sort of like asking: "why do we keep our feet in the car instead of underneath the tires as the car is moving forward?"

[02:32] dumbdum: save them somewhere in your HOME instead [02:32] yes, yes you do [02:32] phantomcircuit: yes it is. the program itself cannot accept any I/O, and so to prevent the corruption of data and damage to the scanner device, the window becomes completely unusable to accidental clickage during the scan.

[02:56] speener, that would reset ALL your gnome settings.. [02:57] speener, well at elast most of them. thers aso the .gtk* dirs and perhaps another one or 2 [02:57] @g3no try reboot? [02:57] amar0: i have to do that every time its getting old === LSD|Ninj3 is now known as LSD|Ninja [02:57] hmmm [02:58] like thats my only option so far, and ive been doing it almost every time [02:58] but u do what, or close alone? [02:58] close alone [02:58] what is a good graphical ide for doing gtk+ programming? [02:59] could be some keyboard or mouse bad configuration? [02:59] nada [02:59] its happened with pidgeon and amarok [02:59] what is a program i can use to take a video screenshot of my ubuntu comp? [02:59] español g3no? [02:59] how do you completely reset networking? [02:59] Anybody able to help me out? [03:00] Chetyre: How are you burning the CDs? [03:00] @g3no tienes gnome o kde? [03:00] With PowerISO [03:00] Chetyre: Or, more importantly, when you open a CD in a file browser, what do you see on the CD? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:01] Flannel: Hrm...nothing apparently [03:01] hiya, i'm having trouble with trac. my trac sites work, but trac-admin throws an ImportError: No module named scripts.admin [03:01] Flannel: It gives me the "please insert a disk" [03:01] amar0: no comprende :/ [03:01] i have two questions, 1 why does starting xorg access the network ? 2 does this http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d1a58ee87 mean that the device is dead ? [03:02] Chetyre: I see. Sounds like you're not burning them properly [03:02] afternoon, [03:02] Quick question - for months, I had a problem with my Ubuntu system that when it went into standby mode, the DHCP would expire. I upgraded today to 8.04 LTS and the problem seemes to have disappeared. Any ideas what might have been causing it? [03:02] Flannel: Do tell--I was under the impression I just needed to burn the .iso to a blank CD [03:02] Agent_bob do you use gnome? [03:02] haha ok u hace KDE or Gnome in your desktop? [03:02] *have [03:02] Am trying to install ubuntu on my laptop, Dual boot with windows, I have 28G for winblows, and 10G for ubuntu....however i lack swap space. [03:03] Chetyre: you do. But you should also be able to see files on them after you've burnt them. [03:03] it doesnt appear the ubuntu isntaller allows one to create a new partition for swap space?? [03:03] Mercury- forget swap [03:03] Mercury-: it does. [03:03] darjeeling no. but i can. [03:03] Mercury- if you have more than 1G memory [03:03] Mercury- forget swap =) [03:03] darjeeling - i don't [03:03] :( [03:03] darjeeling i don't generally use a gui [03:03] Mercury- then make file swap [03:03] know a good link to teach how to format flash drives in ubuntu? [03:04] Mercury-: You can make a swap partition with the installer. [03:04] Flannel - hows that? [03:04] darjeeling but it's xorg not the de that is accessing the network and that's why i asked [03:04] Mercury-: in the partitioner, make a partition, type, swap. [03:04] i'm at the install window - "prepare partitions" [03:04] !gparted | Mercury- [03:04] Mercury-: 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 [03:05] i dont have gui yet [03:05] just running off the install cd [03:05] !gparted | Merther [03:05] Merther: 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 [03:05] Flannel there doesnt appear to be any options to make a partition. [03:05] Mercury-: sorry, mis-typed. [03:05] Mercury-: Do manual partitioning [03:05] if i run an dynmnic updater script and put an crontab entry in as the user i create when i install ubuntu will it run ok or do i need to add this elsewhere [03:05] Gnea - ah ok :p [03:05] Thanks [03:05] Mercury-: but, automatic partiioning ought to make a swap partition too. [03:05] Merther: cheers [03:05] Mercury-: don't need to use gparted beforehand. Do it in the installer. [03:05] Hi, probably not a question to ask on a Linux forum, but does anyone know of a good "standalone" antivirus and spyware scanner that can be run from a cd, usb key etc? [03:05] ok [03:06] i was wondering how i would go about not having nautilus open every time i put in a cd ? [03:06] how much should i leave for swap space? [03:06] Anyone know how to get an internal SD Card reader working? [03:06] dumbdum: #ubuntu-offtopic would be the place for that question [03:06] Mercury-: how much RAM do you have? [03:06] dumbdum: clamav will do it [03:06] FloodBot2-: 512 [03:06] :( [03:06] oops;; [03:06] Mercury-: 1G of swap will be fine then. [03:06] * Mercury- nods [03:06] thankyou :) [03:06] Mecury- Sorry I think you have more than 1G memory [03:07] Thanks Flannel, Gnea, does Clam work on Windoze? [03:07] darjeeling, naw...'tis an old work machine. [03:07] dumbdum: yes, just google for it ;) [03:07] Thank You. [03:07] dumbdum, u mean clamAV? [03:07] if i run an dynmnic updater script and put an crontab entry in as the user i create when i install ubuntu will it run ok or do i need to add this elsewhere [03:07] Yes [03:07] Flannel: Is double the RAM a good rule, and thus if using 32bit one should have 6gig? [03:07] dumbdum, its called clamWIN i believe [03:08] Ienorand: 32bit? what? [03:08] usser: that's offtopic, that's why i suggested google. [03:08] Thanks. Is it a standalone scanner? [03:08] hi, i made a huge mistake and now i'm paying for it by being forced to use windows. i removed wpasupplicant from my system and i should have checked but i didn't and it proceeded to also remove my network manager and a few other packages. i need to know what packages it removed so i can download them and reinstall them. can someone please help me out, all it would require is for you to see what packages it would remove if you tr [03:08] Segellion sudo modprobe usb-storage ;sudo mount /dev/sdx? /mnt # ??? sd cards are normally seen as scsi disks. [03:08] hey all, I've got a command that I would like run at every login, and only for me, I tried setting it up in the sessions applet and it didn't work. Any ideas? the command would be python /home/gaintsura/new_shading.py pidgin [03:08] In what file do I make changes to PATH globally? [03:09] can anyone answer two questions, 1. why does starting xorg access the network ? 2. does this http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d1a58ee87 mean that the device is dead ? [03:09] Gnea, oh, no the reason i said that is just the other day i was looking for it apparently theres another one which is called clamAV for windows which is incomplete [03:09] hydroponic /etc/profile ? [03:09] Flannel: I have 4gig ram, can only use 3gig on 32bit os... I suppose... would 6gig swap be the way to go? [03:09] men i have a rea problem, y mount my HD (windows or linux is the same) have (= GB and say's to me that is only left 2 GB, i know beacouse i have my back up there , but when i mount doesn't apper any folder [03:09] hey guys... anyone know how to fix flash sound?? my youtube plays but no sound.. [03:09] Ienorand: Double RAM is good until it gets rediculusly huge. I'd never suggest 4G of swap. Unless you *knew* you were going to have more than 2G of stuff in memory. Really, with some of the RAM sizes today, you need swap if you're going to hibernate (swap >= RAM) but nothing else (unless you're doing somethign specific and you need it, but you'd know) [03:10] Gnea : philippines [03:10] Can anyone tell me how to make a archive in a .deb format [03:10] Mr_Fixit: Are you using any other sound application at the same time? [03:10] jrib : i choose taiwan [03:10] jigp: it's probably restricted then. [03:10] Maczimus : ok i choose taiwan [03:10] can anyone tell me what username and password to use the first time I run the Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition? I can't get past the log-in [03:10] well this second yes but not normlly.. [03:10] !.deb > sanassar [03:10] sanassar, please see my private message [03:10] Gnea jrib Maczimus : sorry for the late reply. :) [03:10] my ethernet connection is not working in ubuntu. I have a TOshiba P305 S8842. Any help would be appreciated. [03:10] last time i changed some alsa file but heck if i remember what i did [03:10] jigp: no problem :) [03:10] callbox47: From the liveCD? [03:11] yes [03:11] Gnea " i choose taiwan server edu [03:11] callbox47: You shouldn't need one. Did you check the CD for defects? [03:11] callbox47 the username and password you set durring install [03:11] amt: this is a new problem? [03:11] can someone please help me get my internets working again in ubuntu. i need to know what packages wpasupplicant took with it when i removed it so i can reinstall them from debs. please :( [03:11] yes, none [03:11] gnea : kinda fast server :) [03:11] jigp: and it worked? [03:11] Gnea, well ive never tried the ethernet before, just wireless [03:11] callbox47: try ubuntu and no password. Is this an official Ubuntu disk? [03:11] i have a question about the wubi-installer ... i am using a university computer and i convinced my IT guy to install ubuntu via the wubi-installer on it (it works great btw). but i am curious if it's an expanding image or if he set some predetermined size? [03:11] So again:Can anyone tell me how to make a archive in a .deb format? [03:11] Gnea : im downloading the packages first [03:11] amt: ah, if you type this: ip l do you see an eth0 listed? [03:12] Gnea : there are 24 packages to download [03:12] odla: Its a predetermined size [03:12] odla: I believe it's predetermined [03:12] jigp: fun :) [03:12] odla: Well, you set the size when you install [03:12] yes got it off the ubuntu site, and it MD5 check sums ok [03:12] Gnea : ok :) [03:12] callbox47: and then you checked the CD from the menu entry on it once you booted? [03:12] the packages i need aren't on the cd, i already checked. someone please help me [03:12] Flannel: ok ... how could i tell what it is in ubuntu? i tried fdisk -l but that just gives me nonsense [03:12] callbox47 : callbox? a call center? [03:12] odla: Uh, try df -h [03:12] I tried "ubuntu" and no password but no joy [03:13] callbox47: And you checked it from the penultimate menu entry when you boot? [03:13] odla: if you boot into your other OS (winxp?) you can see the size of the install in add/remove programs [03:13] Gnea, well, ill try it but il have to switch into ubuntu, i dont have wireless at the moment [03:13] Chetyre: ok [03:13] Gnea, can you tell me what to do after that so I don't have to go back to windows again? [03:13] It's a fire alarm box [03:13] it looks like / is 13 GB [03:13] Anyone [03:13] How do I package a Deb file [03:13] so that looks like that's what he gave me [03:13] In what file do I make changes to PATH globally? I currently don't see it in /etc/profile nor /etc/bash.bashrc, nor the local /etc/bashrc [03:13] I have the files [03:13] sanassar /msg ubottu contribute [03:13] yes did that too [03:13] Flannel: okies, it's just that I've had probs before that the swap gets used for some stuff here and there (don't ask me what) and then when I try hibernating there's not enough... [03:13] jigp did it work? [03:13] sanassar: check the topics/peoplein #ubuntu-motu, they'll give you pages [03:13] having trouble finding stuff in repositories (such as amarok and nfs-common) [03:14] Ok [03:14] Ienorand: you need at least as much as your RAM to hibernate (because your RAM gets written to SWAP) [03:14] It just loops asking for the user/pass [03:14] callbox47: try ctrl-alt-f1, and see if you can log in there (or have to at all) [03:14] amt: check this out: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25557 [03:15] so i'm not going to get an answer here i guess. [03:15] gparted is great thanks [03:15] Merther: :) [03:15] i was wondering how i would go about not having nautilus open every time i put in a cd ? [03:15] also it's been a while since i've used ubuntu (mostly just use debian) but the repos are 'main multiverse universe' correct? [03:15] Flannel: Yea, true, but are there some know common things that grabs some swap as well? [03:16] I'll try it, but I've tried two different versions and get the same behaviour [03:16] lets say i had three CDs and i wanted to take a few tracks from each and put them onto one CD. what's the best program to do that? [03:16] odla add restricted [03:16] Ienorand: no === Jman is now known as Jguy [03:16] Ienorand: Its fully possible to run a system with no swap [03:17] Flannel: just dont hibernate! [03:17] darjeeling: ok [03:17] can anyone please run sudo apt-get remove wpasupplicant (and say no when it asks you if you want to remove it) and just tell me what packages it says it will remove? it's pretty simple and it'll help me be able to use the internet again with ubuntu. [03:17] Flannel: Um, I'be always thought that virtual memory (term used in win?) goes in swap as well? [03:17] thanks to all [03:17] can anyone answer either of these two questions, 1. why does starting xorg access the network ? 2. does this http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d1a58ee87 mean that the device is dead ? [03:18] amirman84: network-manager network-manager-gnome ubuntu-minimal wpasupplicant [03:18] Ienorand: virtual memory is a technology to let you organize process ram wherever. disk, other places of RAM, etc. [03:18] how do i completely remove and reinstall alsa? [03:18] Agent_bob maybe startx -> start gnome -> gnome vfs or like that wanna connect network [03:18] In what file do I make changes to PATH globally? I currently don't see it in /etc/profile nor /etc/bash.bashrc, nor the local /etc/bashrc [03:18] pwnguin: on a laptop hibernate is kinda important. [03:18] Gnea: thanks so much [03:18] amirman84: dpkg -L package or apt-cache depends or rdepends will probably show you what you're looking for. [03:18] Ienorand: it'll still work sans swap. [03:18] Ienorand i haven't used swap for about 3 years now. [03:18] amirman84: cheers [03:19] darjeeling ? [03:19] aloow [03:19] Agent_bob answer for 1 question [03:19] hydroponic: /etc/environment [03:19] Agent_bob: 1. could be a sub-program that's starting up. 2. probably. [03:19] thanks Pici, i'll try that [03:19] Agent_bob and.. do you use block device? like raid === linux_ is now known as DareDevil [03:19] Agent_bob it may be broken [03:20] Flannel: thanks! Does this affect root also? [03:20] Agent_bob: So it dumps hibernation data to standard partition instead? Are there any major advantages, still, with swap? [03:20] does anyone know how to run a command at login? I tried setting it up in sessions applet, but it did not work. [03:20] hydroponic: and local ones go in .bash_profile [03:20] darjeeling and Gnea starting xorg accesses the network not starting things in xorg. Xorg and boom! the network lights flicker [03:20] gaintsura gui command? [03:20] hydroponic: yes, global is global. If you want to make root-specific ones, that'd go in root's bash_profile [03:21] darjeeling: its a command line, python /home/gaintsura/new_shading.py pidgin [03:21] Ah, in some distros root isn't affected by that. OK thanks [03:21] darjeeling block device like disk drives yes i use block devices. [03:21] Agent_bob I think you have wrong configuration on block device maybe [03:21] Agent_bob or device driver has some problem [03:22] how to Update Kernel ? [03:22] gaintsura I recommand .bashrc maybe wrong [03:22] co_goblok: To what? [03:22] darjeeling heh. no configuration, it's a mp3 player and plugging it in yelds continual messages as pasted [03:22] Anyone know why Rhythmbox wont retrieve song lists from iTunes shares on a LAN [03:22] darjeeling: just put the command in there? [03:22] hey [03:22] i got kinda a dumb problem [03:22] gaintsura maybe =) try it [03:22] hello, does anyone know a program that i can use to test if webcam works or not? [03:22] i removed the system trey on accident [03:23] and need it back [03:23] Agent_bob in that case [03:23] kale-laptop: ekiga will be able to test it for you [03:23] how do i put it back there? [03:24] Agent_bob what kinda of mp3? [03:24] darjeeling creative ZEN stone 1g [03:24] Agent_bob automount problem maybe [03:24] darjeeling if i used automount yes. [03:24] i don't think its called the system trey [03:24] but i don't [03:24] Agent_bob: in MTP or PSC mode? [03:24] but um.. i don't know what else to call it [03:24] *MSC [03:25] mneptok i can't even check to see. [03:25] it's where my wifi controller goes [03:25] ech0dish: "GNOME panel" [03:25] it's a gnome panel? === cheezit is now known as cheex\ [03:25] Agent_bob: that should be in the player's firmware settings === cheex\ is now known as cheex [03:25] hello [03:25] thanks [03:25] how do i put it back? [03:25] !hello > Twois10 [03:25] Twois10, please see my private message [03:25] mneptok but you have to have some kind of access to read that no ? [03:25] stupid bot [03:25] Agent_bob hmm dunno mount options sorry =) ask google [03:26] Agent_bob: no, you should be able to do it from the player's UI [03:26] What's the best ircd available via apt for with atheme services? [03:26] Agent_bob: otherwise it's a chicken/egg problem ;) [03:26] darjeeling: What's the problem you're having? [03:26] slashjamiec I dont have [03:26] slashjamiec =) [03:27] darjeeling: Even better =D [03:27] anyone mind checking if repositories are up (as in I can't find Amarok or nfs-common) [03:27] slashjamiec just wanna be helpful to others haha [03:27] icarus: Pastebin the output of `sudo apt-get update` [03:27] anyone in here useing lirc with a remote ? [03:27] Anyone know an alternative to `dig mx hostname.com`? Is there another way? dig isn't installed on my server :( [03:27] darjeeling: same eh :) [03:27] mneptok eeek. teach me. i see one mode button surrounded by four dirrectional arrow buttons. and an on/repete/suffel switch.... but no way to tell what is going on with any of it. [03:27] oh man - i really messed up big time. ubuntu minimal is like the core pretty much of ubuntu, arrrrrrrgh [03:27] Flannel: one second [03:27] chmac nslookup -type=MX hostname.com [03:27] icarus: while you're at it, paste your sources.list [03:27] amirman84: Is that a bad thing? :p [03:28] darjeeling: Thanks, I figured there would be something simple, didn't think to man nslokup :) [03:28] Xubuntu/Ubuntu come with a disk partioner with the install CD right? [03:28] Chetyre: yes [03:28] Chetyre: yes [03:28] chmac no problem [03:28] Agent_bob: this sounds like a job for Creative Tech Support! [03:28] Thanks [03:28] lol yeah [03:28] mneptok i think the device is dead is what i think is happened [03:29] is alpha 5 out yet? [03:29] i don't see how to possibly add it back [03:29] Why does this channel need a bot to flood? Don't users do it well enough? [03:29] when i right click and click add to panel... [03:29] darjeeling: Hahaha, nslookup is in the same dnsutils package which isn't installed! :) [03:29] tsrk gennerally [03:29] Agent_bob: "The Zen Stone is MSC (UMS) meaning that it will work with any modern operating system without installing software, including Windows, Mac, and Linux. Music is as simple as dragging and dropping music files and/or entire folder directories of music files." [03:29] it's not there [03:29] slashjamiec: it's a bad thing when you accidentally remove it [03:29] wait [03:29] no [03:30] amirman84: ooh, terrible [03:30] Agent_bob: this means that when you plug it in, it should automount on your desktop [03:30] 3 flood bots??? [03:30] mneptok you did see the pastebin ? [03:30] grr wtf i know what to do, i'll delete all my settings for this user and log back in [03:30] Agent_bob: nope. lemme /lastlog [03:30] mneptok http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d1a58ee87 repetes indeffinately and i don't use automount [03:31] Agent_bob: you disabled automount? [03:31] ekiga won't start [03:31] Flannel: well, as ridiculous as it may sound, seems apt-get update was all that was wrong.. so weird.. I though it had been done. [03:31] mneptok yes and gui too [03:31] Flannel: thanks for help [03:31] i don't know why... maybe its something with my account [03:31] lol. [03:31] Agent_bob: so then mount it manually === linux_ is now known as DareDevil [03:32] Agent_bob: the pastebin isn't great news, but the sky is not falling (yet) [03:32] nsm [03:32] now it does [03:32] mneptok with it spewing those kernel messages i can't see to type a command have to unplug it to see anything besides that http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d1a58ee87 vrap [03:32] crap [03:33] That pastebin gave me a headache, really. [03:33] Agent_bob: bring the device to a BestBuy or something tomorrow and see if a Mac or Windows will mount it. [03:33] mneptok yeah i think a return to it's place of origen is in order... thanks. [03:34] Agent_bob: oh! it's that new? [03:34] mneptok no. [03:34] but im not sure how long they will cover it. [03:35] Agent_Bob: Usually HDD manafacturers have 12 months warranty. [03:35] slashjamiec on and mp3 device ? [03:35] Agent_bbo: Oops, I've totally jumped the gun again haven't I? Sorry. [03:35] :) [03:36] np [03:36] Agent_bob: 12mo parts, 90d labor [03:37] so the other Q is why does xorg access the network while loading up ? bare xorg nothing else ? [03:37] Agent_bob: http://us.creative.com/support/warranty/warranty.asp [03:37] mneptok yeah? cool i think it may just squeek by if i hurry. [03:37] Agent_bob: X is a network-aware windowing system [03:38] mneptok so even without ssh* xforwarding* stuff it still does a quick check for something ? [03:39] Does anyone here on Ubuntu 7.10 use Emesene? If so, did they get an "python-central" error? [03:39] why cant you choose which packages to install initially on ubuntu [03:40] Agent_bob: "what's my hostname? is there DNS? am i in it? etc" [03:40] mneptok ok that makes sense. i'm seeing it now. ok i'm caught up for now. thanks a million until you are better paid. [03:40] j00bacca: You can, but not with the desktop CD. [03:40] j00bacca: it comes with sane default programs you may need, and you can chage afterwards [03:40] I'm trying to set up HTTP tunneling over SSH. I have used this guide http://jstrassburg.blogspot.com/2006/01/howto-tunneling-http-over-ssh-with-dd.html and it works perfectly under windows. But with the same settings it doesnt work under ubuntu. Any ideas? [03:40] i installed ubuntu 8.04 into /dev/sda1, where does it get its swap area from here? how can we tell?

[04:19] ejer: Well, I'm trying to configure NFSv4 w/ kerberos authentication (haven't got there yet). I just have a basic install going right now w/ NFSv3 + NFSv4. When I try to mount remotely with NFSv3 it works (as expected) -> when I try to mount with nfs4 I get a permission denied (also as expected - I don't have authentication configured yet). [04:19] Here's what I'm confused about: Why both locking down NFSv4 access with strong authentication if someone can just bypass it all by mounting with NFSv3?? (I don't see any way to disable NFSv3 access to the server) [04:19] and when i do /etc/init.d/networking restart i get grep: /etc/network/run/ifstate: No such file or directory [04:19] [: 164: 0: unexpected operator [04:20] ejer: s/'why both'/'why bother' [04:20] ejer: did you take a look at the output?

[04:23] joejoecircusboy: i guess it is a question of keeping things working, lots of stuff uses nfsv3... you could recompile kernel and only enable nfsv4 prolly [04:23] ejer: so does that imply im just pwned? [04:23] amanulla: when you install something it gets put on your harddrive, but it is already installed... if you want the package it is in /var/cache/apt/archives [04:23] qr:i have runned that command i found this output what does it mean [04:24] amt2: it implies hard work to get it working at least [04:24] amanulla@amanulla-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install wget [04:24] [sudo] password for amanulla: [04:24] Reading package lists...

(at least with sshd/telnetd, you can disabled telnetd) [04:24] amanulla: it means exactly what it said, that you have wget installed alreadu [04:24] already [04:24] ejer;where can i see and use wget [04:25] i have the 8.04 livecd is there a way i can tell it to not install xwindows?

[04:28] the output of wget in terminal i s above [04:28] tsolox: swapon -s will show what it is using, to change it you will have to edit fstab [04:28] amanulla: you don't type litterally 'wget url' you need to replace url with the url of the file you want to get [04:28] amanulla: what do you want to do with wget exactly :) [04:29] tsolox: to chage it for this session, type sudo swapon/dev/sdaX (X being your partition) [04:29] well to add it that is [04:29] i need softcopy off all softwartes i installed in ubuntu from net so that even in fute if i dont have net connection i would like to use them [04:29] even in future if i dont have net connection i would like to use them [04:29] ejer: Ah, I think I got it - enabling kerberos on an export either: requires krb5 for both nfsv3 and nfsv4, or: it just block nfsv3 access to that export (I didn't think nfsv3 was kerberos aware) [04:30] amanulla: when you install something it gets put on your harddrive, but it is already installed... if you want the package it is in /var/cache/apt/archives [04:30] ok [04:30] amanulla: you can also download a DVD with all packages on it [04:30] where can i found this [04:30] /var/cache/apt/archives [04:31] can u provide me a link to get dvd [04:31] amanulla: that's a place on your hard drive [04:31] places?computers>filesystem>var>cache>apt>archives [04:31] amanulla: places>computers>filesystem>var>cache>apt>archives [04:32] amanulla: http://torrent.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/release/dvd/ [04:33] su[ [04:33] anyone check out the new, [ google ] browser [04:34] chrome [04:34] peter__, please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic thanks [04:34] only out for winblows now [04:34] \???? what ?

[05:23] danbhfive, I'm not looking for env vars, I'm looking for registered libs [05:23] these* [05:23] since ubuntu is free... so is it a non-profit organization? is it an organization or company at all? [05:23] found it [05:23] its in /var/games [05:23] H_M-Ubuntu: I have no idea, sorry. [05:23] Essentially, it needs to show up as a camera for flash [05:24] Svenstaro: yeah, sorry,I dunno [05:24] ahtmly2k: there is paid support and such see company Canonical [05:25] !canonical | ahtmly2k [05:25] ahtmly2k: Canonical Ltd. is committed to the development, distribution and promotion of open source software products, and to providing tools and support to the open source community. It is the driving force behind the Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Edubuntu Operating Systems.

I only have 3.3GB [05:25] Any way to do that? [05:26] R_YoYo_R i like, it has a kind of online operation system in ajax, i use their browser how a proxy to access demonoid (its blocked in my country =p ) [05:26] :) nice [05:26] how do you reset irssi settings to defaults? [05:27] H4shsha: rm -r ~/.irssi [05:27] #irssi [05:27] H4shsha: then start irssi [05:27] gregbrady: while 4g is what you are supposed to get, I have heard of people getting less than that. Maybe you are running into the same problem [05:28] hey flannel quick question [05:28] sweet flannel, thanks [05:28] danbhfive, ok, understood. I've not tried XP yet with this RAM to see what I get. That might me interesting. [05:28] where is software properties tab in hardy === freaky[t] is now known as fReAkY[t] [05:28] danbhfive, or, try a 64 bit install.....of Linux [05:28] gregbrady: Remove your graphics card [05:29] ziovan: what do you mean by software propertires? [05:29] hello everyone, i have a Rosewill RNX-G300EX (RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI) wifi card that I'm trying to get to connect, but I'm having some trouble [05:29] gregbrady: That's the only way to get the 4GB ram [05:29] ziovan: System > Admin > Sftware properties (or software sources) [05:29] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Adding%20the%20Universe%20and%20Multiverse%20Repositories [05:29] can anyone give me a hand? [05:29] gregbrady: The 4GB limit in 32 bit machines is 4GB of *addressable space* not just RAM [05:29] Cpudan80, got you....but I don't think my graphics card takes up 700 MB [05:29] ziovan: For some reason, they feel like changing the text all the time. But you'll see something close to it. [05:29] gregbrady: yes, but I like to tell people that its not worth the trouble. There is also some server thing that lets you get more than 4g of ram on a 32bit install [05:29] gregbrady: The graphics card counts against the addressable space [05:29] thanks i think i found it the gui is diff though [05:30] danbhfive, gregbrady: PAE isn't really worth it. [05:30] gregbrady: Hrm.... if your gfx card had 512 MB of RAM, the rest could be some rounding error [05:30] 512 is very common for modern gfx card [05:30] cards* [05:30] Cpudan80, yes, but mine has some onboard [05:30] Its not taken up by graphics cards, it just really does max out at 3.3 or whatever it is. [05:30] I think 128MB onboard with 64MB shared [05:31] Flannel: should be a little higher than 3.3 - but yeah [05:31] Flannel: I thought it was like 3.6 [05:32] Flannel, ok, but if I try a 64 bit system, will it utilize more? [05:32] 64 bit will not have any problem [05:32] it will see the full 4GB [05:32] don't do the PAE hack, its not worth it [05:32] can someone tell me if when you install ubuntu onto a windows drive, if you can mount the remaining windows partition rw ? [05:32] abrahm: yes [05:32] hmmm [05:32] !ntfs | abrahm [05:32] abrahm: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [05:32] gregbrady: 64bit OSes can address like 16EB of RAM or something. [05:32] it's a vfat [05:32] Cpudan80, no, 64 bit linux distro of some sort [05:33] and when i try everything it wont let me do write as normal users [05:33] abrahm: vfat? that'll work fine [05:33] does anyone know if there is a new kernal that supports ACPI on the HP Pavilion tx2500 [05:33] abrahm: are you sure its vfat? [05:33] kernel* [05:33] abrahm: that would be FAT32 in windows speak [05:33] Test [05:33] gregbrady: right yeah - 64 bit wont have any problem (dont do the PAE hack with 32 bit) [05:33] /dev/sdc5 /media/SECOND vfat users,auto,uid=kenny,gid=users,umask=000 0 0 [05:33] sekyourbox: fail [05:33] no need for test back [05:33] is the main one i have tried [05:34] Cpudan80, got you and will not try the hack. [05:34] I need help, when I execute a video with any video player in ubuntu 8.04 it is stopped, someone can help me ? [05:34] abrahm: yeah but that is autodetected - it is prob wron [05:34] i can mount it no prob when i run my other harddrive with ubuntu on it [05:34] wrong* [05:34] abrahm: how many HDDs do you have - and how is each partition (on each disk) formatted? [05:34] quick question.... [05:34] i have 3 drives [05:35] hi,I want to install ubuntu by Wubi method,but my computer cannot connect to Internet,How can I do? [05:35] and 3 partitions on 2 of them [05:35] im researching a solid "parental" control system, is edubuntu good for this? [05:35] does the wubi install on XP install a 64 bit version that will recognize the full 4 GB? [05:35] i dont have time to research it deep if its not the end i need [05:35] the with the swap stuff [05:35] lbs: You just need a desktop CD, you don't need the internet [05:35] so im asking :P [05:35] gregbrady: no [05:35] im having trouble enabling the "universe" repository [05:35] gregbrady: Wubi is for 32 bit === fReAkY[t] is now known as freaky[t] [05:35] ziovan, what ver?

[05:36] cpudan, what was that wron thing about ? [05:36] gregbrady: at least - that is my understanding - you'd have to have XP 64bit for it to work [05:36] [05:36] hrm.

[05:44] i know it lol [05:44] pc3: Stop [05:45] 2750.556 means it's pushing 2.7? [05:45] 2.75* [05:45] #Jakarta [05:46] illmortal: it clearly says "cpu MHz" [05:46] ha... so that means I'm pushing 2.75 ghz, right? [05:47] I just bumped up 200mhz :p my p4 is a 2.5ghz processor [05:47] hahahaha........ [05:49] i dont have /proc/cpuinfo is that normal? [05:49] bdunlap: then you don't run linux [05:49] nm it shows it but i cant view it [05:49] wols, very funny [05:49] hello everyone, i have a Rosewill RNX-G300EX (RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI) wifi card that I'm trying to get to connect, but I'm having some trouble [05:49] can anyone give me a hand? [05:50] i had to be in the dir to view it... weird. [05:50] bdunlap: it wasn't intended as funny. if we assume you tell the truth this is the only possible outcome [05:50] bdunlap: you don'tr [05:50] hai........ [05:51] pc3: do you have a ubuntu related question? [05:51] Anyone know of a midi editor for Ubuntu> [05:51] yup [05:51] jimmio, rosegarden [05:51] pc3: which is? [05:52] syeft [05:52] R_YoYo_R: thanks [05:52] wols, if i said "i don't have /proc/cpuinfo" that doesn't mean I don't have /proc so by assuming i don't have /proc you are assuming your answer incorrectly. [05:52] How about a program similar in functionality to Fruity Loops Studio? [05:52] jimmio, dont know [05:52] wols do you no indo [05:52] jimmio, i don't know of that program [05:52] diegocrow: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/RalinkRT61 maybe that will help? I have no idea [05:53] bloodboy: you said you don't have a file which EVERY linux kernel shows. ALL of them. so either you lie or you don't run linux. QED [05:53] bloodboy: my answer is 100% correct [05:53] It's a 300 some dollar piece of software for Windows only. [05:54] jimmio, i have used it [05:54] jimmio, wine may run it [05:55] Hmm... but also have ASIO working properly to get a millisecond of delay total? Or is ASIO just some stupid crap for Windows and Macintosh, and Linux enables writing to the soundcard at those speeds? [05:55] jimmio: use a rt kernel [05:56] wols: So I can actually replace my dumb laggy windows recording box with a Linux one? Oh happy day. === hassan_ is now known as Hassan|Laiq [05:58] hi all [05:58] i think my gdm theme is causing problems. My gdm windows just hangs, showing the waiting cursor icon. How can i change my gdm theme from the console environment? [06:01] [LAN with ADSL connection] Laptopcomputer 1 has no Internet connection after operating it elsewhere last night. ping to the LAN router functions. 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' obtains: "[OK]". 'ping www.google.com' obtains: "ping: unknown host www.google.com". How to fix that? [06:03] Hello [06:03] I have a question. My friend, who uses XP on his desktop PC, wants to remotely log-in to my laptop (which runs on Ubuntu). [06:03] hey foolks i have no propitery drivers listed in ubuntu, not sure what i did to make them disapear, but how can i make them come back? [06:04] I have already followed some steps I found on the Internet, specifically that of setting up Remote Desktop [06:04] What else do I have to do? [06:04] thomasite, enable remote desktop on your machine. have him run the tightvnc client and type in your IP [06:04] Hi all. i've got my sound working, but can't record. I can hear the input through the speakers (if i talk in mic i hear it in speakers), but audacity and "sound recorder" both error... any ideas? [06:04] thomasite, i remote into my machine from work daily ... are you behind a router? [06:05] if i downloaded frostwire and it installed itself but now doesnt work how do i uninstall it ? the packedge manager thing installed it [06:05] He says he is using something like VNC. [06:05] I already gave him my IP address as well as my password [06:05] sudo apt-del frostwire [06:05] I think I am behind a router. [06:05] thomasite, something "like" vnc? [06:05] Is there any issue that I have to deal since I am behind a router. [06:05] ? [06:05] thomasite: does your ip being with 192.168...? [06:05] thomasite, what do you mean you think? do you have arouter? [06:06] I don't exactly know what the 'brand' of the software he is using but it's vnc. [06:06] Yes, my IP begins with those numbers [06:06] thomasite: you are behind a router [06:06] I am not sure if I am behind a router. :( [06:06] thomasite, ok [06:06] MasterFruityLoop command not found [06:07] thomasite, so you need to set up an account with dyndns.org [06:07] thomasite: I'm sure, but its a problem that you aren't. The reason being is because you need to do some setup on that router I think [06:07] How do I setup an account? Is it free? [06:07] thomasite, set up a domain name and use port forwarding on your router to forward port 5900 to the ip of your laptop [06:07] dVs-? [06:07] thomasite, its free [06:07] How do I do that? [06:07] R_YoYo_R: that doesnt make up for setting up the router correctly [06:08] MasterFruityLoop i tried that command [06:08] after installing ubuntu on my laptop, a sony viao, the system is unable to hibernate/sleep, it simply does not come back from these after a close the lid/tell it to hibernate [06:08] Adross: What does "less /etc/gdm/gdm.conf | grep GraphicalTheme=" return? [06:08] Okay [06:08] thomasite, you would most likely want to set a static IP on your laptop too [06:08] So I'm visiting dynDNS.orgnow [06:08] sudo: apt-del: command not found [06:08] danbhfive, [06:08] (without the quotes) [06:08] danbhfive, ?? [06:08] Kurt: already fixed it. Gdm eventually started, changed back to default, everythings ok [06:08] thanks anyway [06:08] ok :) [06:08] I have a static IP. At least that's what the manual network configuration tool says [06:08] danbhfive, you know a better way? do tell [06:09] R_YoYo_R: dont send him to dyndns, its not necessary at this point [06:09] jeeeze Runway is takin fo-eva [06:09] danbhfive, well ... unless his router had a static IP [06:09] hello [06:09] How do I check if my router has static IP? [06:09] My IP is static. Does this mean that my router's IP is also static> [06:09] ? [06:10] thomasite, depends if your ISP gives you one ... i know comcast doesnt give me one [06:10] Hi, im having some problems. im using 7.04 and i have never did any updates in awhile so i finally did it today , and it said to restart which i did, then i got failed to start xserver. so i did the sudo dpkg reconfigure xserver-xorg and it was fix then when was able to login now the graphics is all messed up and my CF isnt working anymore any ideas? [06:10] R_YoYo_R: well, I think he should first setup his router correctly, then just use 121.97.154.218 once that works, THEN he can worry about dynDNS [06:10] Assuming that my router has static IP, what do I have to do next? [06:10] danbhfive, ok ... agreed [06:10] danbhfive, good point [06:11] * thomasite is boggled [06:11] if i downloaded frostwire and it installed itself but now doesnt work how do i uninstall it ? the packedge manager thing installed it [06:11] i've been browsing the ubuntu site, and i had a question, is the default install a live install? can i download a DVD iso of an offline installation if so? I'm a SuSE user lookin for a change, n i wanted to try ubuntu, i was told to try ubuntu or fedora. every SuSE release I've downloaded a DVD with all the stuff rather than the live CD. much easier for me I think. [06:11] What do I have to do next? Please. Thanks. [06:12] thomasite, what kind of router? [06:12] thomasite: your first step in all this is to login to your router, and open up the port that R_YoYo_R suggested, I think it was 5100? [06:12] thomasite: 5900 [06:12] Hi guys, i had a update today and it told me to restart right after it finished then i got a failed to start xserver [06:12] thomasite, danbhfive the default port for remote desktop in ubuntu is 5900 but through the gui you can change it to whatever you want [06:13] How do I login to my router? [06:13] I don't know what my router is. :( [06:13] Talon3793: if you are using a liveCD, you will not need an internet connection (it is not "live" in the online sense) to complete the installation [06:13] thomasite, in a browser try typing in 192.168.1.1 [06:13] okay [06:13] May someone help me? [06:13] It says: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 192.168.1.1. [06:13] Talon3793: LiveCD simply means that you can try the distribution out via the CD before actually committing to installing it [06:13] try 192.168.1.100 [06:14] well some distros a live cd is, internet install, others is a bootable demonstration, etc.. [06:14] didnt know what to do when i saw live [06:14] thomasite, your wireless right? [06:14] thomasite: you can also try 192.168.0.1 [06:14] No. I'm on a LAN (?) I'm not using a wireless connection. [06:14] [LAN with ADSL connection] Laptop computer 1 has no Internet connection after operating it elsewhere last night. ping to the LAN router functions. 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' obtains: "[OK]". 'ping www.google.com' obtains: "ping: unknown host www.google.com". nmapplet > Network Settings > DNS does not let me fill in an address in the 'DNS Servers' field. How to fix that? [06:15] thomasite, did you set up the router? [06:15] Talon3793: Right, I understand :) [06:15] Good luck with trying Ubuntu! [06:16] I tried 192.168.0.1 but it's taking the browser very long to load anything [06:16] I'm just a 'subscriber' to the LAN. [06:17] I don't know who set up the router. [06:17] thomasite, even if we get the right ip you will still need to know the username and password to log into your router ... which is why if you didnt set this up then [06:17] thomasite, this isnt going to work then [06:17] I doubt its what i want... but i figure i'd give it a shot... I'm looking to get video capture with my ATI all in wonder card so i can finally ditch windows and no longer dual boot, and my card isnt supported under the gatos project, its a newer one... SuSE supports the 3d acceleration but not the video capture and im afraid all distros will inevitably end in the same result [06:18] Oh. :( [06:18] There's no other way? (Thanks for the assistance.) [06:18] thomasite, im trying to think of any other ways .... [06:18] thomasite: you would have to talk to your network administrator for help [06:19] Okay. :D [06:19] thomasite, the point being having him remote in to check out ubuntu? [06:19] i spilled beer on my keybord! [06:19] oh god [06:20] R_YoYo_R: maybe there is some way he can initiate the connection somehow? [06:20] My friend wants to access some of my files [06:20] Eh guys, in order to see my NTFS files on a different computer over a network, am I supposed to mount the remote disk location so I can see it? [06:20] danbhfive, a guy at my work was telling me of a way to do just that .... but i cant remember how [06:21] thomasite, many routers you can download the manual for if you know the make and model, and in that manual is the access address, default username, and password. assuming this is a home setup, and that the login information hasnt been changed, the manual will help you get rolling.. I had to do that for my westell that came free with my subscription to DSL [06:21] I see. [06:21] I've read in the forums about SSH. [06:21] Is this another way to do remote login? [06:22] thomasite, its not linux specific .... if you had a windows machine how would he log into it? [06:22] SSH is remote console login, it doesn't do graphics by itself [06:22] thomasite, i know there are free trials of gotomeeting and stuff ... dont know if that works for linux [06:22] It says there, and allow me to quote: If you want to securely connect to your machine from a remote computer, even a computer running another operating system like Mac OS or Windows, then you need to install the openssh-server package from the main repository. [06:22] no, for that bit of wizardry you'll need VNC aswell. [06:23] don't confuse the lad though. [06:23] Is there an easy way to find out which device I am using? I mean I know from the GUI which one it is but I dont know its /dev/dsp ...?? Im trying to get sound to work in vmware [06:23] ahem...remote login does not require VNC [06:23] amenado, thats not what he said [06:23] has anyone installed the chrome? I built it but now i don't know how to run the browser, does anyone knows? [06:24] R_YoYo_R-> who ? [06:24] DaFFes: Chrome doesn't have a UI on anything but Windows yet afaik. You can compile it, but it won't do much [06:24] I dislike Jack Audio Server muchly... I could never get it to work... but it seems it's working now... Why do the recording things use Jack? [06:25] LSD|Ninja you mean that all process in the site http://dev.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/build-instructions-linux won't make me run ? [06:25] * thomasite is frothing at the mouth. [06:25] thomasite: What are you trying to do? I jumped in late [06:26] i find that vino running on ubuntu and tightvnc client running on winblows boxes works the best ... right out of the box too (if you have router set up) [06:26] I didn't know remote login is so complicated. [06:26] DaFFes: It says right there in teh red box === FlannelK1ng is now known as Flannel [06:26] umm [06:26] didn't read it [06:26] wtf [06:28] thomasite, if you could get your network admin to forward port 5900 (or whatever really) to your ip address this would "just work" [06:28] thomasite, as it stands the remote computer has no route to your computer which is in its own network [06:29] i wish installing ubuntu server would "just work" :[ [06:29] myr, sorry [06:29] myr.. what do you mean it doesn't? [06:29] I installed it recently and it just works [06:29] trying to install server on a box with 128mb ram, it hangs during the installation [06:29] I mena there are configurations and tweaks that should be applied [06:30] DaFFes: Linux and Mac versions are planned, just be patient. Good things come to those who wait as they say :P [06:30] Then, there's no way for my friend to remotely login. :( [06:30] myr: Did you check the disk? [06:30] ph0rensic_, yes [06:30] myr, do non graphic? [06:30] Thanks for the help, y'all. :) I appreciate your giving me your thoughts on this matter. [06:30] thomasite: why not? [06:30] thomasite: Is quite easy [06:30] THis is a home router? [06:31] ph0rensic_, you must not have been here long enough [06:31] R_YoYo_R, is there another .iso i would need besides the server one that would work better with low ram? [06:31] probably not i just got here but what is his problem? [06:31] hello is there a way to have fast internet with my ubuntu server 8.04? very slow net connect...this is my setup : isp modem route type --- ubuntu --- switch --- 40 units... if i use netgear router, internet is really fast ... compare to ubuntu... :( [06:31] myr, i dont know. never done a ubuntu server. never even thought about it [06:32] myr: I think there are lighter server installations than ubuntu server [06:32] any one have a good reason for a good joke ? [06:32] myr I think there is a work around of just settting up the swap partition before you start the install process [06:32] ph0rensic_, any recommendations for a LAMP distro then? [06:33] Huh? [06:33] R_YoYo_R: So what was the big let down for thomasite ? WHy cant he get it to work? [06:33] myr, debian etch [06:33] debian server install is quite good [06:33] ph0rensic_: he doesnt know the setup of his network... [06:33] ph0rensic_, he doesnt have access to his router [06:33] R_YoYo_R: Oh, he'd need that to forward 5900 [06:34] ph0rensic_, right [06:34] thomasite: how come you don't have access to your router? [06:34] I couldnt even get puppy linux to boot on the machine. DSL boots and runs fine. I installed it to HD but can't find good docs to install ubuntu from DSL [06:34] I have 804 installed with wubi that died today. Can I just delete the ubuntu folder and run wubi install again? [06:34] ph0rensic_, i dont think its a home network ... [06:34] I don't know. [06:34] myr-> kindly look into using debootstrap to install ubuntu from DSL [06:35] BlackTurd: WUbi is p00 do a real install? [06:35] I live in a dormitory. And I'm just a 'subscriber' [06:35] ^^^ [06:35] amenado, i have seen https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/i386/linux-upgrade.html but it's nearly 2 years old [06:35] I'd do a real install but have no cd drive and can't boot to usb [06:35] thomasite, question....is your friend in the same dorms? [06:35] whomasite is close too close... [06:35] thomasite-> being a subscriber, have the school not provided you with info on how to connect to your network? [06:35] thomasite: ohh...that sucks..hey R_YoYo_R is there a reverse connection workaround he can do? [06:36] No, my friend lives at least 200 miles away. [06:36] ph0rensic_, there is ... i know there is. but i dont know how to go about setting it up [06:36] myr-> once more, officially, ubuntu supports debootstrap install, so look for this okay? [06:36] amenado, ok [06:36] We were just given the IP address, the DNS whatevers. Aside from those, there are no other details as regards net connection. === BlackTurd is now known as SkinnYPup_ [06:37] ummm... hi [06:37] The media keys aren't working on my Toshiba Satellite. The instructions here (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaKeys) didn't help -- dmesg doesn't provide any output about unknown keys etc, keytouch-editor doesn't respond to anything. What else should I be trying? [06:37] thomasite-> that should be ample info to get you started, what are these info? be clear now [06:37] Arodon: keytouch doesnt work? [06:37] problem: my ethernet connection with Realtek RTL8168B can connect to my desktop with a static IP but when I try to get another IP through DHCP it stops working. dmesg says the following: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out [06:37] using ubuntu hardy heron [06:38] The IP address, the two DNS numbers. [06:38] No more. [06:38] :( [06:38] How would I install nvidia drivers from Synaptic?

[06:38] :) [06:38] Mindhazingsquid: You want to use the restricted driver manager [06:38] ph0rensic_, thomasite, might take some research [06:38] I'm using Ubuntu [06:38] does xmms not exist anymore or something!/ [06:38] !who | thomasite [06:38] thomasite: 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 :) [06:39] guys [06:39] R_YoYo_R: Yah thats a little tricky with a school dorm.. Really may need to find reverse connection workaround [06:39] Mercury-: it's 'audacity' now [06:39] i just booted to a xubuntu live cd [06:39] but how do i see my windows fs ? [06:39] Mercury-: You have to install it from source [06:39] Mercury-: sorry, audacious [06:39] Mercury-: xmms has been moreorless dead for a few years now, distros aare removing from their repos [06:39] Mercury-: Audacious is the pretty much the successor of that [06:39] thomasite-> you are already using ubuntu? now what is the problem again? [06:39] <--uses xmms [06:39] ph0rensic_, i dont know what i would do without my remote connection :) [06:39] sarah palin is owning [06:39] <--uses audacious [06:39] anyone listening to the RNC [06:39] R_YoYo_R: I know huh [06:40] danbhfive: nope, I've tried a couple different keyboard models that I thought might apply, but nothing at all [06:40] Arodon: so, you tried the editor to make your own model? [06:40] what's a good light-weight media player? [06:40] audacious [06:40] danbhfive, Where would I find that? Is it Hardware Drivers under Administration? [06:40] for use on a umpc [06:40] R_YoYo_R: i'll look into that [06:40] Mindhazingsquid: yes [06:41] uh.. [06:41] why ubuntu does not work with internet [06:41] hello [06:41] does ubuntu have internet or not [06:41] amenado, my friend uses XP and he wants to remotely login to my laptop which runs on Ubuntu. [06:41] DEURTYE, yes it does. most of us are using ubuntu right now to chat [06:42] who can teach me how to set the ubuntu compiz [06:42] not worth responding to that [06:42] danbhfive: correct, however it wouldn't react to any of the buttons [06:42] i just booted to a xubuntu live cd, but how do i see my windows fs (ntfs or fat32) ? [06:42] thomasite-> if your school dis-alllows you, do not bend the rules or else... [06:42] And some of us are using Pidgin that COMES WITH Ubuntu to chat here (like myself) =D [06:42] Arodon: are you sure you selected the correct device?

[06:42] Mindhazingsquid: hopefully [06:43] My laptop is asus M9V [06:43] danbhfive: I tried with each of them (although I'm pretty sure that 'event1' - 'AT Translated Set 2 keyboard' is the right one) [06:43] I have install Wine (latest), cabextract, and ieforlinux, then I installed Counter strike. It asked for gecko, I let it download, now when I see that OK screen, the game hangs up... why? [06:43] hi all. One question please: I have linksys wireless pcmcia card (realtek chipset). As I read, it is not working with build in ubuntu (gutsy) r8180 driver (at least WAP is not working). That is why I installed ndiswrapper. I works perfectly if I: 1) plugin wireless card; 2) 'rmmod r8180' 3) unplug and plugin again the wireless card. This is how finally 'lshw -C network' show that ndiswrapper driver is used. The question is: if I blacklist module r8180 and r [06:43] error404notfound: Try #winehq they'll know more [06:43] haloo people... [06:43] My Ubutnu isn't 8.04 [06:43] Is 7.10 [06:43] :) [06:44] Arodon: what? event1? I mean, when you first start keytouch-editor, it asks you to select the keyboard device [06:44] Guys did 7.10 have compiz built-in [06:44] ph0rensic_: no [06:44] clarence_: ATi graphics? That'll make things difficult... [06:44] Who ShipIt Ubuntu cds success? [06:44] Arodon: are you able to select the correct one, and start setting keys up? [06:44] clarence_: can you upgrade to 8.04? [06:44] any one have a good reason this nigth too compile the 3.6.10 kenel in my machine :) [06:45] yes not yet [06:45] ph0rensic_: yes, it had version 0.6 [06:45] what is 0.6 [06:45] clarence_: you should upgrade to 8.04 [06:45] danbhfive: ah, didn't mention that I'm running Intrepid, so the new evdev keyboard system labels the keyboard event1, however the media keys have never worked (been using U. since Edgy), and I don't think that the new driver system is making a difference in this case [06:45] there are compiz packages for gutsy [06:45] Then make sure your restricted drivers are updated to use your accelerated graphics then install ccsm [06:45] 8.04 is much better with compiz integration [06:45] how does one get rid of the line in xchat, where all the nicks are during chat?

Actually, i am running ubuntu on my system.. the remote system is running centos... Shit,.. [06:54] ballsac, torrents usually go fast [06:54] QtQ lots of reasons, can be intimidating, and why do you need to compile a new one? [06:54] ballsac: Your name isn't family appropriate...

I can't even select the device - it doesn't respond to any of the keys, special or regular [06:57] eclipse C [06:57] amenado: sorry to disturb, but should I use ifconfig or the Network Configurator GUI for changing the IP? I have an ubuntu on my desktop and changing static IP to dhcp is as easy and working as "ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1" and "dhclient eth0" [06:57] ballsac: Ubuntu is popular enough that it shouldn't be too hard to find a relatively fast mirror close to you [06:57] Hmm, I don't know of ubottu saying anything about inappropriate names, anyone have the command? [06:57] Arodon: have you tried a different device then?

[07:42] i have a interactive console whit kernel [07:42] just why [07:43] tsolox, debian support belongs in #debian [07:43] surprisingly [07:43] how to install [07:43] the linux softwae [07:43] QtQ, not sure what you mean by that? can you elaborate a little more? [07:44] eclipse [07:44] hay when i try and play a dvd on totem movie player it says could not read from resource [07:44] eclipse c compiler [07:44] when i try to install Debian 4.0, the spiral picture shows in bootup, I choose language..but then suddenly, it said it cannot find CD-ROM...and asked me to load CDROM drivers from floppy! which i dont have...how do i solve this??? [07:44] sure i spech well at my machine and you tolk that and she put beep [07:44] clarence_ : from synaptic if it is not something you have to build from source [07:44] tsolox, debian support belongs in #debian - this is #ubuntu [07:44] coz she understant... [07:45] clarence_: sudo apt-get install eclipse eclipse-cdt [07:45] tsolox, #debian [07:46] what are you learning or what [07:46] i cannot join #debian... [07:46] my ubuntu synaptic cannot use! [07:46] tsolox: why cant you join #debian ? [07:47] tsolox: You should ask the operators of #debian (and actually, you should try #debian on oftc, not here) [07:47] tsolox, try joining again in a couple of minutes .. they might have a channel limit in effect now [07:47] unop should i remove lilo via synaptic? [07:47] clarence_ : did you tried sudo apt-get install [07:47] wait [07:47] unop its still there [07:48] rredd4, you could, yep .. though it shouldn't make a difference if it remains installed .. but if you do remove it, you have to make sure grub is successfully installed, or your machine will not be bootable [07:48] it said Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [07:48] ok [07:48] clarence_, close synaptic and try again [07:49] clarence_ : you can use one at thie time do you have something else open like update manager [07:49] yes [07:50] join [07:50] #join kernelnewbies [07:50] kvenkys use a / [07:50] I don't know how to close update manager [07:50] clarence_ : yes what [07:50] before join [07:50] rredd4: he's gone [07:51] hey [07:51] ok === dedi is now known as Dedi [07:51] theoretically, if i added extra RAM to a system so that i could install ubuntu, and then took it out afterwards, it could still run with 128mb RAM, yes? thought? other ideas? [07:51] could some one answer me that questtion? [07:51] what are you mean clarence_ [07:52] myr: I've done that before [07:52] clarence_ : if you are not downloading updates just click on close button [07:52] the command isn't work [07:52] MickLH, cool, thx [07:52] myr, yes, but that won't ensure your ubuntu desktop will run very smoothly [07:53] unop, i just want to install server edition [07:53] myr: sorry lol I didn't think to even say whether or not it worked, (it did by the way) [07:53] clarence_, are you using sudo? [07:53] myr, i would say it should install just fine [07:53] explain: I zip a folder, extract it - I have two identical folder trees. I open them the same way, to the same file, in list mode [07:53] yes [07:53] I right click the same two files, both named the same, both type 'plain text file' [07:54] it said " [07:54] Unable to obtain exclusive lock [07:54] This usually means the other package manager programs (such as aprt-get or aptitude) is being implemented. Please close these programs." [07:54] One right click gives me 'open with text editor' [07:54] the OTHER right click, on the same file (copied) DOESN'T give me that option [07:54] what the hell is going on? [07:54] Same file name. Same 'type' reported. [07:54] MickLH, the RAM switching didn't cause any problems or extra steps? [07:54] damn. I figured it out [07:55] too much coffee maybe [07:55] Hi, I did some repartioning with the gparted live cd, and now when I try and boot, it says L 99 99 99 and the screen fills up with 99's I am using LILO, because GRUB doesn't work for me. I assume that LILO is confused, because my partiton is in a different place. How do I fix it? [07:55] One of the files had executable permissions. Seriously, fuck microsoft. [07:55] myr: None, actually I find the ubuntu configuration to be pretty forgiving [07:55] chubs, not enough coffee [07:55] 'd into /boot/grub and stage1 is there. i didn't open it though [07:55] * reqqit is on a caffeine cleans. Grapes, apples, fresh juices, all week. No caffeine. Kill me. [07:55] myr: For example when I built a new computer I just put my ubuntu hard drive and it booted like it was nothing and I isntalled teh nvidia drivers [07:55] I wanna to upgrade ubuntu 8.04, but my board band is very slow [07:56] how do i mount a device using nautilus? i can use mount to do it, but then I need to sudo everything in order to write to the mount point [07:56] MickLH, that's pretty sweet [07:56] clarence_ : close them all and try again with sudo apt-get install eclipse eclipse-cdt [07:56] fudus: change permissions on your mount point, but mount is a root command generally [07:56] myr: It was a pretty radical change, single P3 upgrade to Core 2 Duo from 512MB RAM to 2GB [07:56] fudus, what kind of filesystem on the device? [07:56] i don't know how to do that [07:57] myr: Radeon 7000 to GeForce 8600GT ect... [07:57] unop when i type grub-install /dev/sda it says: "stage1 not read correctly" I cd'd into /boot/grub and stage1 is there. i didn't open it though [07:57] fudus, on the left, there should be a list of drives, if it's there right click and choose mount [07:57] i mean how to make it so i don't need to sudo in order to copy stuff to it [07:57] clarence_: 2Mbit is _NOT_ slow. At least not as far as upgrading Ubuntu isconcerned [07:57] need a help on configuring dual monitor in ubuntu 804 [07:57] Ubuntu bug 804 in eric "Bugged by pyQT api update (dup-of: 803)" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/804 [07:57] Ubuntu bug 803 in eric "Bugged by pyQT api update" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/803 [07:57] fudus: you need to change the ownership on it. what exactly is it?

[07:58] i have an dell optiplex 755 [07:58] it doesn't like -ouser :P [07:58] Hi, I did some repartioning with the gparted live cd, and now when I try and boot, it says L 99 99 99 and the screen fills up with 99's I am using LILO, because GRUB doesn't work for me. I assume that LILO is confused, because my partiton is in a different place. How do I fix it? [07:58] oh and i'd like it to automount on start up too [07:58] unop is sda hd0,0? === desti_T2 is now known as desti [07:59] it is having ATI Radeon HD 2400 [07:59] rredd4, is that when you issued the grub find command? [07:59] fudus: sudo chown USER /downloads [07:59] yes [07:59] sda [07:59] mynameistux_: fix the problem by making it not have an error [07:59] chubs: i have having ATI Radeon HD 2400 [07:59] mynameistux_: sorry I couldnt resist but if you hold on a second I can actually help [07:59] unop no [08:00] oh, good [08:00] lol [08:00] !ati [08:00] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [08:00] unop haven't done it yet, did not know if hd0,0 would work [08:00] chubs: yes ATI [08:00] hang on, grub might work now. I have to check my email, if someone at my LUG can fix grub for me, I will get a super grub disk and all will be well [08:01] rredd4, if find returns hd0,0 .. then you use setup (hd0) [08:01] lspci i gives only one device [08:01] still says root owns it [08:01] fudus: sorry, you should probably do that [08:01] recursively [08:02] ubottu: lspci gives one device.. so how to add 2 devices with it in xorg.conf [08:02] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:02] fudus: chown -R [08:02] fudus, the mount.vboxfs manpage might show you how to change the user [08:02] lspci gives one device.. so how to add 2 devices with it in xorg.conf === Ashish is now known as Guest30279 [08:03] hi ? [08:03] fudus, chubs, that would upset permissions/ownership on the directory associated with the share itself [08:03] unni what type off device are [08:03] fudus: but with the rest of the command tagged on, sorry it's late and my advice is less than coherent [08:03] unop: explain? [08:03] unop after finding stage1, its on hd1,0. then i typed setup (hd1,0). now it says error 12 invalid device requested [08:04] OK, I have two windows open, I am just ctrl-c ctrl-ving some files, because there is no 'replace if newer' option, and I was out of net access and had to suffer editing files on a shitty windows laptop, so I am not in a good mood [08:04] how much swap should i give for 7.10 . my ram is 2gb and 128mb graphic card [08:04] hello [08:04] When I ctrl v into nautilus, in list view, the FIRST time I ctrl v, it does NOTHING except focus, and center the folder [08:04] unop: by explain? i meant it wouldn't. [08:04] how much swap should i give for 7.10 . my ram is 2gb and 128mb graphic card [08:04] can someone verify that? then the second ctrl-v actually asks if I want to copy the files. [08:04] I'm back [08:04] chubs, he said that this here is a vbox share .. so if you changed ownership on it, you affect the ownership on the real directory - which might not be what he wants [08:04] znik : 1-2 [08:05] unop night ty for your help. [08:05] unop: but that's not what he did, because he changed ownership on the mount point [08:05] open up two nautilus, in list mode, and copy ~/.emacs to ~/lolcats, anything, using two windows, click the lolcats folder and press ctrl-v, it does nothing. [08:05] clarence_ : does it work now [08:05] yes [08:05] because I use english [08:05] unop, can you try this to verify? nautilus on 8.04 [08:05] I am getting the error http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/LILO_Error_Codes but how do I implemete the fix, if I can't boot? [08:06] chubs, if the directory is mounted on the mountpoint and you changed permissions on it recursively, you affect the permissions of all contents underneath it too [08:06] ctrl-c a file, click another nautilus window, in list mode, and press ctrl-v, nothing happens, press again, it works [08:06] unop, does that sound weird? [08:06] clarence_ : 8-) [08:06] I have my reasons for using LILO [08:06] reqqit, it sure does, though i don't use gnome .. so i can't verify this for you [08:06] unop: he can't mount it, how can this be a problem? [08:06] I'm Taiwanese, when I switch English [08:06] mynameistux_: because you;re a masochist? :P [08:07] hahahaha [08:07] the system is ok [08:07] chubs, ahh, how could he access any files on the share if it weren't mouned? [08:07] mynameistux_, use a livecd ? [08:07] chubs, doesn't make sense. [08:07] unop: was the problem not that he couldn't access them? that was my understanding [08:07] but, don't I have to be in the install that lilo is used for, to implemete the fix [08:07] anyone on gnome, with a nautilus open, I'd like to verify if this is reproducible please [08:07] mynameistux_, no [08:07] unop what type off device are... [08:08] sup reqqit ? [08:08] so, I boot into a livecd, open a termial, and run the commands [08:08] chubs, right, so he needs some way of allowing his user access to the share .. usually the filesystem driver provides options for doing this without you needing to changer permissions or ownership on the actual files [08:08] ashmew2, open two nautilus windows - copy from one with ctrl-c, then ctrl-v [08:08] the first ctrl-v to the new window will do nothing [08:08] how much swap should i give for 7.10 . my ram is 2gb and 128mb graphic card [08:08] oh :O [08:08] wait ill try [08:09] nope [08:09] mynameistux_, yes, you will need to know the name of your partition like /dev/hda1 [08:09] its working fine [08:09] I am doing this manually because I want to only copy selected files, I could probably script a 'copy if newer from tree to tree' or open an ftpd and use filezillas feature to do local copies... [08:09] unop: I thought that his problem was simply that he did not own the directory he was trying to mount the share on [08:09] does anybody know how to install a grub . my ibex's grub has overtaken this one [08:09] znik, 2GB swap if you intend to suspend/hibernate .. 512MB should suffice otherwise [08:09] its working! [08:09] ashmew2, open two views in View as List mode [08:09] its dev/sda3, so I will do that [08:09] thanks for your help guys [08:09] znik_ : you can give it 1GB but if you want more give it 2GB it is enough [08:09] open a subtree, copy a file from there, move to (visible) other tree, click once on a folder, press ctrl-v [08:09] i want hardy's grub to be loaded rather than ibex's one [08:09] reqqit,its working [08:10] !grub > murlidhar [08:10] murlidhar, please see my private message [08:10] ashmew2, if it works, try repeating it so it asks you to replace the file [08:10] yeah [08:10] and see if it asks you the first tim eyou press ctrl-v [08:10] i replaced it [08:10] :( [08:10] its working [08:10] hi i have server computer and i wanna update it [08:10] z [08:10] the firs row of the source.list is [08:10] #deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 5.04 _Hoary Hedgehog_ - Release i386 (20050407)]/ hoary main restricted [08:10] ashmew2, you have two windows, side by side, both visible, and you just single click one sub folder on the second window, and press ctrl-v once? [08:10] when i say apt-get dist-upgrade [08:10] why am I having to press ctrl-v twice EVERY TIME. this is insane. [08:11] first ctrl-v just focusses the window and moves the selected folder to center. ashmew2 you have view as list? [08:11] yeah list view it is [08:11] NetworkManager > Network Settings does not accept an IP address which i put the 'DNS Servers' field. Thus I have no Internet access since I was out with this Ubuntu 8.04.1 last night. How to repair? [08:11] it sayit says E: Some packages could not be authenticated [08:11] try rebooting reqqit ? [08:11] rkirmizi : it is unsupported version and you can not upgrade it as supported ones [08:11] even i used the -f option [08:11] i g2g [08:11] be back soon [08:11] cua [08:11] ashmew2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:11] cya* [08:11] ashmew2, the folder you are working with are not root folders in the list, but subfilders [08:11] hi there [08:11] zvacet: is there anyway to upgrade it? [08:11] or is there a package repo for this version? === mandragor is now known as weedar [08:12] i have a problem with synaptic [08:12] this is an old server and i needto set up mysql-server to here [08:12] Hi, I've got a question: How can it be that I'm still running the 2.6.24 branch of the kernel in Hardy? Isn't there a way to upgrade to 2.6.26? (IIRC it should be the new stable?) [08:12] it zombies after installing packages [08:12] rkirmizi : just a sec [08:12] ligemeget: kernel is still 2.6.24 [08:13] !yea [08:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about yea [08:13] ligemeget: run update manager === poobear is now known as ring0 [08:13] ubottu :) mf [08:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about mf [08:14] It's so strange === Ashish is now known as Guest28122 [08:14] ushimitsudoki1: Since Intrepid is going to implement 2.6.27, does that mean that 2.6.26 is just skipped? [08:14] zvacet: ok i m waiting [08:14] djhash, done that - nothing [08:14] comon 3.6.10.26 [08:14] ligemeget: i think so. the first plan was .26, but i think they recently decided to just go with .27 [08:14] ligemeget: odd numbers are beta [08:14] Right, I found that if I wait about half a second it works without asking twice. [08:14] how to make ubuntu effect appear? [08:15] hey chubs [08:15] im on linux but it didnt boot [08:15] ligemeget: ask in #ubuntu+1 they will know more probably [08:15] Rdy: so how'd you get in? [08:15] clarence: right click on desktop > change desktop background > visual effects [08:15] chubs, in that case going with .27 on Intrepid may prove risky, indeed.. [08:15] i had to do the try before you install, when i told it to load off the harddrive it say on loading local disk or something [08:16] but theres an install icon on the desktop [08:16] ive opened that [08:16] ligemeget: probably not, really, but moreso [08:16] ushimitsudoki1, but basically users running Hardy are all running .24? [08:16] but what partitions do i make? [08:16] I wanna to use extra effect [08:16] it says, lilo command not found [08:16] gaaah [08:16] Rdy: stop now [08:16] hello, if i sudo adduser , is that user able to delete my files? how do i make it so that user can read only or only do stuff in his /home/username/ folder? [08:16] lol stopping [08:16] ligemeget: yes (assuming they didn't put in thier own kernel of course) [08:16] hello [08:16] ubottu u compile for me :D [08:16] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:16] comon [08:16] Rdy: you can just hit next and cancel everything, and skip to installing grub though [08:16] hang oin, don't I need to mount sda3 [08:17] ok how do i do that [08:17] Rdy: if you're already in there may as well keep going [08:17] it doesn't work === dedi_away is now known as Dedi [08:17] i just cancled it [08:17] rkirmizi : in your source list replace every archive.ubuntu.com with old-releases.ubuntu.com save file and close it. sudo apt-get update [08:17] what was the command/program called that showed system info, kernal version, etc?

[08:23] legend2440, you need to have mkfs.ntfs installed (which i think is by default) [08:23] zvacet: these 2 are all [08:23] legend2440, and read the mkfs.ntfs manpage for the options [08:23] ushimitsudoki1: Nope - will try that now, thanks :) [08:23] Rdy: unless you really want to reinstall it you can just skip that, but use ext3 [08:23] unop, ok i'll try it [08:23] can some one help me on configuting optiplex 755 with ATI Radeon 2400 HD.. with dual monitor [08:23] unop: '~$ /etc/resolv.conf; search alien.c-base.org cbrp3.c-base.org c-base.org" This are probably WLAN addresses of the local computer club which I visited last night.

[08:24] haha, mistaken [08:24] bullgard4, to add a name server .. nameserver 192.168.0.1 [08:24] Rdy: alright well you should probably mount at least one partition at / [08:24] My ubuntu still cannot make effect appear! [08:25] bullgard4, you can have upto 3 [08:25] bullgard4, each on it's own line [08:25] chubs: the options are - / | /boot | /home | /tmp | /usr | /var | /srv | /opt | /usr/local [08:25] who can answer my question?

[09:48] gnomefreak: So if I take out my current hdd with ubuntu on it, install ubuntu on a new hard drive and put the old one back in I should have any problems mounting. Like i should just be able to do mount /dev/sdb1 /secondary [09:48] Garga: maybe [09:48] wols, I have 1 sata hd, and one IDE hdd. [09:48] I know centos uses LVM for default and in the past I've had conflicting VolGroup names and had to change them on the old drive. [09:48] I installed ubuntu on the IDE, it has 29gbs of ext3 and 1gb swap.

[10:00] Mrono: yeah [10:00] hmm [10:01] ^paradox^: you need to log out, then on the login screen select xfce [should be a drop down to select DM] [10:01] odd [10:01] ^paradox^ cont alt backspace then change the session in gdm and log back in [10:01] <^paradox^> thnx [10:01] when i do mount /dev/sda3 /test -o uid=gid=1000 -t vfat i get wrong fs type, but when i remove the uid=gid=1000 it works [10:02] can anyone help me with optimising 3d performance? running xorg drivers. Get fps stuttering in ETQW. Runs slower than in Windows for some scenarios, others, run better [10:02] need a couple of pointers to how to's etc [10:02] kraizen: that's not a kernel issue. what videocard and driver? [10:03] Radeon HD3650, Xorg driver [10:03] kraizen: there is no "xorg driver". what driver? [10:03] whats the name of the package one need to install to fix the gcc compiler "lib dev 2 " or something? [10:03] Miyagi_san: install build-essential [10:04] ta [10:04] wols: xorg drivers as in those that actually come with xorg I'm guessing... [10:04] guess its the proprietaty, but i had to do a lot of hacking to get correct initialisation [10:04] yep [10:04] kraizen get an nvid or intel gpu the amd drivers are horrible. [10:04] sort of a hybrid [10:04] LSD|Ninja: still a BS answer [10:04] is the command mount /dev/sda3 /test -o uid=gid=1000 -t vfat correct? [10:04] true lol [10:04] kraizen: last time: what driver. I want a name [10:04] okay. [10:04] Lets say, i do this.. export HELLO="helloWorld" .. how do i delete the HELLO variable [10:04] wols: meh [10:05] kraizen: if I were you I'd use fglrx tho [10:05] 8.52.3 ATI driver, from their website, which didnt work initially [10:06] had to throw in some Xorg stuff from the synaptics packager [10:06] how can I configure update-manager to never ask for my password? [10:06] kraizen: we do not support that driver [10:06] Ububegin, unset HELLO [10:06] we support the fglrx from ubuntu, not from ati.com [10:07] Ububegin, or don't export it [10:07] unop: bash has unset? [10:07] jin: you don't want to [10:07] wols, yes. help unset [10:07] wols, isn't the one from ubuntu the one from ati? [10:07] cabrioleur: yeah, but it's packaged by and supported by Ubuntu [10:07] unop: i just closed the console.. and the variable was destroyed [10:07] Ububegin, that's normal. [10:07] evil. using export for setting and unset for unsetting. feels like C-shell [10:08] when i try to boot off unbuntu it says something about GRUB Loading 1.51. and then just restarts :(? [10:08] wierd thing was, neither driver would work with hardware rendering [10:08] cabrioleur: and it doesn't break package management [10:08] but after 2 days and much configing got them both (sort of) running together === orgthingy|zZZ is now known as orgthingy [10:08] kraizen, what issues do you have? [10:09] Rdy: grub was not installed properly [10:09] cabrioleur: basically everything works, but there are some stuttering issues [10:09] wols, you don't use export to set a variable, you use it to export one. [10:09] !gurb > Rdy [10:09] rdy, please see my private message [10:09] cabrioleur: wondering if there are any settings in the kernel i can optimise [10:09] pretty new to ubuntu [10:10] kraizen, not really in the kernel, only xorg.conf [10:10] okay [10:10] kraizen, did you check the documentation out? It has a lot of really good stuff. [10:10] djhash: i just let ubuntu install it, does that mean i did something wrong with the partitions ? [10:11] yeah, but because neither driver would initially enable 3d acceleration [10:11] i had to install it in a very wierd way [10:11] Rdy, not partitions probably. More grub itself. [10:11] kraizen, what do you mean by wierd way? [10:11] i made an ext3 with mount / and a swap drive, but how would grub not install properly? [10:12] Rdy: depends on your general partition layout (any other hdds or partitions) [10:12] i have vista installed on another hdd [10:12] Rdy, it's a wild animal ;-) Things like that happens. All you have to do is to reinstall grub using your live cd for instance. [10:12] but im loading of the ubuntu hdd in the bios [10:13] i have reinstalled it [10:13] it did the same thing last time [10:13] cabrioleur: I had to install the ATI (ATI vendor) drivers, then the opensource drivers, and then I had to change a few settings. [10:13] Rdy: you didn't install grub properly [10:13] cabrioleur: hold a minute, will look in my logs for exact process [10:13] i just used the ubuntu cd, which im guessing does it itself [10:14] cabrioleur: ahh yes [10:14] cabrioleur: I had to install the two of them as about [10:14] *above [10:14] kraizen, afair all you had to do is to manually remove fglrx.ko file that comes with ubuntu (sic) and make sure all dependencies are there ;-) [10:14] Rdy http://www.techtalkwiki.net/restore_grub_on_linux [10:14] <^paradox^> ok im liking xubuntu so far [10:14] ubuntu-8.04.1-dvd-amd64.iso and its the Hardy unbuntu [10:14] at my laptop i was not able to run the front mic and decided to install the new alsa driver when i compile it from source i got: rror: You have built-in ALSA in your kernel. how can remove the built in alsa [10:14] Rdy: but it doesn't always work as intended, especially with more than one hdd [10:14] cabrioleur: and then I had to install one package from the ATI Vendor .run [10:14] so how would i fix it ? [10:15] hello, can anyone help me? [10:15] cabrioleur: manually [10:15] kraizen, yes [10:15] Rdy read the link [10:15] Rdy: you reinstall grub, this time properly [10:15] kraizen, with sudo rm -fv :-) [10:15] !grub > Rdy [10:15] Rdy, please see my private message [10:15] <^paradox^> how can i set it up so i can single click items on the desktop to activate em? [10:15] cabrioleur: I've been working on getting this implementation working for past three days, more than 10 hours a day [10:15] hello, I did something really stupid and I'm really new, so I need help [10:15] cabrioleur: please dont ask for specific commands :) [10:15] !ask > Fckd [10:16] Fckd, please see my private message [10:16] cabrioleur:hehe [10:16] cabrioleur: i will check tho [10:16] ^paradox^, open the file browser and it's in the preferences. [10:16] ^paradox^ afaik thats a kde function not an efce [10:16] or if i skip the built in alsa test at the .configure ang overrite the new alsa driver to the new kernel will it be problem? [10:16] koshari: its on another hdd so that link doesnt really help? [10:16] <^paradox^> oh so i can single in file browser not desktop? [10:17] ^paradox^, I didn't notice. It's in the desktop setup in your settings plack [10:17] <^paradox^> only [10:17] Rdy: it doesnt matter, the menu.12t will be on the ubuntu drive and the setup will be on the first bootable drive mbr [10:17] ^paradox^, it will change both :-( [10:17] ok then. To make a long story short... I deleted fstab. I haven't restarted my computer yet. How do I restore/recover it? [10:18] <^paradox^> wait let me just be sure [10:18] Fckd, manual labor, brother :-) [10:18] <^paradox^> i cant open things on the desktop with a single click? [10:18] great. How would I go about doing that? [10:18] Fckd, or sudo cp /etc/mtab /etc/fstab and pastebin for check [10:19] i'll try that, thanks [10:19] koshari: if i do that will it then overwrite my windows boot record? [10:19] Rdy pastebin theoutput of sudo fdisk -l [10:19] Fckd, cabrioleur, heh .. backup /etc/fstab first [10:19] <^paradox^> its not the end of the world but i need to know [10:19] Rdy: thats the whole idea, grub becomes the mbr [10:19] unop, the fstab is gone in his case ;-) [10:19] im in windows atm [10:19] i want to dual boot [10:19] cabrioleur> sudo bash ati-driver-installer-8-8-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg [10:19] so i have the choice when it starts up [10:20] cabrioleur, ahh, ignore me then [10:20] Rdy: you use grub to boot into windows as well [10:20] cabrioleur> then i exec'd the kernel package [10:20] cabrioleur> cabrioleur> not any others [10:20] or in general i have a front mic problem, i am able to record when i plug a mic ro the laptop but the front mix is not working, any idea for ALC269? [10:21] cabrioleur> looked like the original driver from ATI didnt properly install one of them [10:21] cabrioleur> had to do it manually [10:21] kraizen, probably because the .ko file that I always remove manually :-) [10:21] kraizen, it will not overwrite this one [10:21] thanks guys, that SEEMS to have worked : ) [10:22] cabrioleur> sounds about right. [10:22] koshari: so if i do wat it says when grub boots up it will ask me if i want to load windows or linux ? [10:22] cabrioleur> :) [10:22] Fckd, no problemo buddy [10:22] cp mtab -> fstab [10:22] Rdy: *tick* you will get a menu [10:22] Fckd: eeeek! [10:22] ? [10:22] Fckd: you can't copy mtab to your fstab [10:22] cabrioleur> I suppose i could do a bit of aticonf work with the card [10:23] wols, shure you can [10:23] cabrioleur> going to get dinner now tho [10:23] Rdy and you can change the default OS and the timeout in seconds ect ect [10:23] cabrioleur> will let u know how it goes [10:23] kraizen, ati recently plays nice, but ubuntu is way off standards :-D [10:23] ok thanks ill try that brb [10:24] cabrioleur> kernel not optomised? [10:24] Fckd: there is probably a backup of fstab in your /etc folder named fstab~ just use that === freaky[t] is now known as fReAkY[t] [10:24] legend2440 > I did that, and then realized that the fstab.bak was COMPLETELY empty. So that was really bad. [10:24] kraizen, no, trash. Their own fglx kernel modules which is not the same as new one on ati website, but the rest of the driver is missing so it doesn't work anyway [10:25] kraizen, another obstacle to overcome, because somebody tought it might be too easy [10:25] Fckd: no file named fstab~ with a tilde at the end? [10:25] cabrioleur> I got it working :D [10:25] cabrioleur> Am a happy man except for the fps stutters [10:25] legend2440> no, just fstab.pre-uuid [10:26] cabrioleur> might even be a netcode problem... [10:26] Hi. "Shutdown" option has disappeared on my shutdown/logoff window. What do you think has happened? Thanks. [10:26] kraizen, what your fglxinfo is saying?

[10:27] kraizen, did you measure speed with glx_gear of fglx_gear? [10:27] cabrioleur, I'm using gdm. How check for gconf? (Btw, I didn't edit nothing recently on gconf...) [10:28] yep, get 500 fps on fullscreen 1280 1024 [10:28] Fckd have you checked the recycle bin?

[10:31] how do i include a file when configuring a script? [10:31] cabrioleur: i guess the xubuntu kernel has it within it to run games, but the drivers dont [10:31] cabrioleur: thanks for the info [10:31] cabrioleur: bbl [10:31] NOooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! [10:32] ./configure --with-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB [10:32] is that right? [10:32] do i need to recompile the kernel for it ? === D is now known as Guest25353 [10:33] i am using ubuntu server edition by the way [10:34] exalted, did you install something recenly? [10:35] hi [10:35] cabrioleur, regular updates. [10:35] cabrioleur, nothing fancy that could mess with login stuff, I think... [10:36] forest0r, unfortunatelly, it's not BSD :-) You have to recompile the kernel.

[10:55] wols, as a MOTU and long standing ubuntu contributor and developer I find your approach to support rude and offensive HNSZ, I agree with you [10:55] wols: Telling what they can and cannot use and why. You are a zealot. [10:55] wols you told me to run that LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo [10:55] unni : What kind of driver do you have?\ [10:55] cabrioleur, here, let me rename my .tar.gz to .run .. and you run it under sh .. nice, now you have sh running all the garbage from inside the file :) seriously, execute the script already [10:55] Which pastebin do you use in here? [10:55] [MrShan]: i tried that [10:55] wols, I think you'll find you are in breach of the code of conduct too [10:55] cbx333: you are OT too. complain to the ops and don't spam the channel please [10:55] <[MrShan]> unni: lol i was joking, what kind of card do you have ATI or NVIDIA?

[10:56] is the card i have [10:56] yes [10:56] The_Wolf: you did not use the http://pastebin.com/m7298ea40 [10:56] Does it have a multi display utility? If not you could try editing you xorg .conf. [10:56] The_Wolf: you did not use the LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose as I told you [10:56] \names [10:56] Make a backup though. [10:56] unop, seriously, it's easy to cheat kernel. handpicking is safer :-) [10:57] cabrioleur, http://paste.ubuntu.com/43293/ [10:57] <[MrShan]> unni: what driver are you using [10:57] cabrioleur, don't you get the point? or are you just being stubborn for the sake of it?

[10:58] wols i copied it directly from the irc into temrinal [10:58] HNSZ: can you check your private message [10:58] The_Wolf: as line 3 of your paste shows you didn't do this [10:59] I'm not goingto press this further however wols, I believe this on topic this is a support channel, and I'm worried about the attitude being presented by some people here, not just you...for some people this is their first foray into Ubuntu and to be met with comments like "you are very slow" I believe to be rude and offensive [10:59] <[MrShan]> unni: heres a howto which should help you, i did the same for a lappy card: http://www.jumpingbean.co.za/blogs/mark/linux-ati-driver-tutorial-how-to [10:59] wols: i understand sry [11:00] I installed ubuntu and then to get it to boot i followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows the first part (quick start) and now i cant even boot into windows or even ubuntu? [11:00] cbx333: everyone would be glad if you did your OT ranting elsewhere too [11:00] unop, I'm kind of bussy right now. [11:00] curs3d, I'm assembling your new xorg.conf file. [11:00] but where it says to reboot and ubuntu should boot, it doesnt. [11:00] unni: How I did it the first time was get an example from the internet(print it out) of how to edit your xorg.conf file. Than I edited it and rebooted. Everytime it failed to boot the displaymanager Id check the errorlog change the xorg.conf and restarted by starting gdm(gnome displaymanager). [11:01] Rdy: there are at least 3 different methods on that list. we need more info WHAT you exactly did [11:01] cabrioleur, that's no excuse for being lackadaisical and unaware of the implications your suggestions have - especially with other people's setups. [11:01] the first part of quick start [11:01] the first example [11:01] wols: now i executed a (11:48:20) wols:LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose and got a new prompt without a message [11:01] i got stuck at step 5. where it says to reboot [11:01] cabrioleur: curs3d still having trouble with gdm? I told him ages ago how to fix it [11:01] HNSZ: i have one card [11:02] and 2 same type of monitor connected to it [11:02] LSD|Ninja, no, it's xorg [11:02] unni: Yes thats fine. [11:02] The_Wolf: that is NOT what I told you to run. this time you missed the glxinfo command [11:02] do i need to define 2 devies in xorg.conf [11:02] I changed my partions with the gparted livecd, and now when I try and boot, it says L99 99 99, as per this page http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/LILO_Error_Codes I am in a xubuntu livecd at the moment, and when I try and implement the fix, I get the following errors [11:02] cabrioleur: xorg is fine, it's gdm being ghey [11:02] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo lilo -g [11:02] Fatal: Cannot open: /etc/lilo.conf [11:02] wols wait i paste it another time [11:03] Rdy: and what commands exactly did you type? (note you cannot just use the same commands as written there. you need to change them to your setup) [11:03] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo lilo -M /dev/sda3 [11:03] Fatal: /dev/sda3 is not a master device with a primary parition table [11:03] cabrioleur: gdm scales to the virtual resolution and not the actual one [11:03] HymnToLife: did you chroot to your xubuntu install? [11:03] unop, by picking sh interpreter for sh scripts, you are eliminating the change of misuse of code by wrontly accepting commands. [11:03] HymnToLife: currently your /etc is on the live cd. that cannpot work [11:04] HymnToLife: sda3 is partition not a MBR of course [11:04] LSD|Ninja, :-) [11:04] yes my root dir was hd2,1 so i changed (hd0,1) to (hd2,1) and (hd0) to (hd2) [11:04] cabrioleur: I told curs3d hours ago how to fix it [11:04] hang on, are you talking to me wois? [11:04] cabrioleur, you're being silly now. not all .run files are shell scripts .. if you want to continue debating this, step into #ubuntu-offtopic [11:04] wols: http://pastebin.com/m19e1c4fa i didnt got you better [11:04] GnarusLeo, odd. Even with that code, it won't work [11:04] :/ [11:04] Rdy: do you have 3 harddisks in there? [11:04] 4 [11:04] unop, I told you I am bussy. [11:04] dont undertsand what you mean [11:05] cabrioleur, *sigh* [11:05] cernex, type again in that same shell: ./file.bin [11:05] The_Wolf: I gave you the exact command to type. I can't do more than that [11:05] cernex, and paste your output [11:05] <^paradox^> i have gnome. im fixing to get xubuntu desktop. is there any of its software i can do without? [11:05] can anybody take a look at this and tell me what's wrong (why 2 users are logged although only 1 is listed)?: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/43294/ [11:05] is there an ubuntu recommended application for editing video files? ( I really only need to copy a small section of a video, nothing complicated) [11:05] wols: see my pastebin, its the command you gave me above, copied it exactly [11:05] I quit. Going back to slackware. Goodbye ubuntu help chanel! [11:06] The_Wolf: you can try "export LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose; glxinfo" [11:06] its another pastebin [11:06] <^paradox^> i mean i already have a word processor and so forth [11:06] HNSZ: do i need o add 2 devices and 2 screens in xorg.conf [11:06] wols: i have four hard drives [11:06] Oh [11:07] I had to type THAT to make it work, GnarusLeo [11:07] cernex :) [11:07] damn it, i'll just use grub [11:07] <^paradox^> do i need everything that comes with it or just the desktop enviroment itself?

[11:07] it stops my cd drive from working, but I will take my lappy to my LUG, and they will poke it until it works [11:08] Mynameistu1: why in hte hell did you want to use such an antiquated pile of garbage as LILO anyway? [11:08] because, GRUB stops my cd drive from being recognised [11:08] Mynameistu1 I got problems with grup too 2xscsi + 1xsata drivevs :( [11:08] spacecake: cd drive troubles? [11:08] grup=grub [11:08] The_Wolf: let's try it differently. pastebin your Xorg.0.log [11:08] Hamled lol [11:09] :( [11:09] Mynameistu1 no, SCSI and SATA drives [11:09] I think I'll have better luck in #gnome [11:09] Mynameistu1: that makes no sense [11:09] how to connect to undernet server?

[11:31] bringatowel: with gparted [11:31] and where might that be? [11:31] LnxGirl: where all logs are. in /var/log [11:32] wols, gparted doesn't seem to like that, the resize partition is greyed out even though it is not mounted [11:33] Ok what am I looking for? [11:33] I don't see any evident errors [11:33] NO MORE BLOAT! NO MORE BLOAT! NO MORE BLOAT! [11:33] :) [11:33] Ubuntu is not working inside a VM yet my hardware is supported, is it possible the VM isn't working correctly...? [11:33] spaceninja: stop! [11:33] wols, there is a notice about "unable to read the contents of this filesystem" even though when it is mounted it works fine [11:33] sumix, what vm are you using? what isn't working? [11:33] sure [11:33] Yeah, I've noticed Gparted often doesn't want to let you edit things even as root. What I've noticed does work is just booting the live cd and running Gparted through there. [11:33] bringatowel: use the livecd and try to resize it then [11:34] italy? [11:34] http://pastebin.ca/1193592 [11:34] wols: i remember that i had direct rendering before installing xserver-xgl [11:34] wols & h4x, ok thanks, i will try that [11:34] LnxGirl: for starters what driver you use [11:34] bringatowel: VirtualBox, and the ethernet isn't working [11:34] thats my log [11:34] The_Wolf: could very well be. xgl is evil. very evil [11:35] sumix: inside the VM: ifconfig -a [11:35] ./server irc.fastland.org:6667 [11:35] sumix: and read the vbox manuaol if oyu haven't done so [11:35] Venere78: don't spam like this here [11:36] wols: So its possible that Vbox is to blame, I might just go ahead and install it anyway, see what happens :] [11:36] sumix, do you have the virtual network adapter configured in the Vbox machine settings? [11:36] wols: so i just uninstall it, then i could give you the information of glxinfo perhaps than it says why or the message why compiz doesnt start [11:36] sumix: no. you asre to blame since you didn't configure vbox correctly [11:36] The_Wolf: possibly. [11:37] please help [11:37] !ati > LnxGirl [11:37] LnxGirl, please see my private message [11:38] are the "binary drivers" the samne as the fglrx ones? [11:38] probably. but I dunno what and especially how you installed stuff [11:39] Hello people .. please I need your help. I have a laptop running ubuntu 7.10. Unfortunately, most of it's devices are ATI (which I abhor) .. I had ubuntu 8.04 before and I had some problems with USBs and VGA but sound worked (with problems also, having it mute when playing music with some player after running a flash with a sound, and vise-versa) .. Now VGA is fine in 7.10, but sound doesn't work at all! I just installed it yesterday, and no Sou [11:39] LnxGirl: what videocard? [11:39] the 8500. [11:39] HD 8500. === c9s_ is now known as c9s [11:39] natalisushka: you probably need a newer alsa than what 7.10 provides. and you really should use 8.04 [11:40] LnxGirl: that videocard does not exist [11:40] wols: can't I simply install the driver that 8.04 has? [11:40] "HD" radeons don't go up to 8500 and radeon 8500 has no "HD". so what is it? [11:40] Radeon 8500 [11:40] natalisushka: driver for what? [11:41] Audio! [11:41] wols: Audio [11:41] LnxGirl: you need the "ati" driver. fglrx is the totally worng one. ubuntu shoul dhave used the ati driver on its own by default. pastebin your xorg.conf [11:41] natalisushka: no [11:41] LnxGirl: Talking to me? [11:42] wols: why not? [11:42] wols, can the "ati" driver do composite managers? [11:42] rohit: still with me? [11:42] I have my first ubuntu install in Singapore, and I attempt to do an upgrade, speed looks OK, but downloads stall I have to press CTRL+C then arrow up and enter again... [11:42] LnxGirl: yes [11:42] cool [11:42] is there a graphical tools which I can configure my fstab file?= [11:43] so might I have screwed something up by install fglrx/ [11:43] ? [11:43] oh wow, this is gonna get old [11:43] or can I just change the Driver value in the device section to "ati" and it'll work seamlessly? [11:43] hi, anyone knows who is responsible for starting up ssh-agent in ubuntu? I have specified use-ssh-agent in /etc/X11/Xsession.options, but it doesn't get started at all.. [11:44] the pool in use is: sg.archive.ubuntu.com [11:44] teprrr, isn't ssh-agent started by default? [11:44] hey all [11:44] hi, I removed the fast user switcher from my top panel and it moved all the panel items to the right of it halfway along the panel and I can't move them back. How do I move them back to the far right? [11:44] teprrr: every package in ubuntu shows who is the maintainer [11:44] spaceninja: I think xvmount is what you need [11:44] Does anyone know of a fix for the random freezing problem in 8.04? [11:45] I have a 7 - 8 second delay between username and password entry when I SSH over wireless LAN. Is this normal? [11:45] wols, yes I know [11:45] checkers, try right-click and choose unlock, then move them [11:45] ActionParsnip: can be. can be a a DSN lookup problem or can simply be latency [11:45] *DNS [11:45] Homicide: well there's pysdm (for your fstab question). I don't think that there exists "*the* random freezing problem" so you probably have to be more specific there [11:45] wols: how can i troubleshoot the dns? [11:45] ActionParsnip: does reverse DNS work as intended? [11:45] aha, thanks bringatowel [11:45] ^_^ [11:45] err wols [11:46] wols: do you mean ip to name convertion? [11:46] hi [11:46] I have the 4850 diamond [11:46] :D [11:46] ActionParsnip: yes [11:46] bringatowel, yup, it should and it does on my other system. just wondering where to start debugging why it doesn't happen. could the problem be caused by that I have built my own kdm and kde? [11:46] wols: i removed the xserver-xgl package and restarted it now it is slower, no compiz and i got the following http://pastebin.com/m3e37e737 [11:46] jrib: In about 5-10 minutes, ubuntu will likely freeze with a blinking caps lock light and I will have to power down and up to do anything. [11:46] let me check [11:46] wols: you didn't explain why? [11:46] LnxGirl: you will need newer drivers than that come with ubuntu then. you might try envyng. also compiz will suck since you will need xserver-xgl [11:47] Homicide: have you troubleshooted the video driver? Which one are you using. Those are usually the culprits for this sort of thing [11:47] natalisushka: no I didn't and I won't [11:47] teprrr, that seems likely, never investigated it myself since it has always started automatically for me [11:47] wols: compiz gives me this http://pastebin.com/m8844ed1 [11:47] !compiz [11:47] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [11:47] this was the reason why i installed the xserver-xgl package [11:47] bringatowel, okies [11:47] jrib: I'm not entirely sure how I'd go about this. All I know is that it's some onboard video that came with this 2003 compaq presario [11:47] ask the channel there if laptop ati cards like your 9100 are backlisted [11:48] Homicide: lspci -nn [11:48] wols, I never heard of of envyng I thought the drivers for the new cards was "fglrx"? [11:48] no? [11:48] !envy > LnxGirl [11:48] LnxGirl, please see my private message [11:48] wols: then say I don't know why! [11:48] LnxGirl: envyng will install a (newer) version of fglrx hopefully [11:49] natalisushka: I do know but I won't explain to someone without a clue for an hour why [11:49] wols, thanks I'll check it out [11:49] natalisushka: if you want that hire me as a consultant. === dusty_ is now known as reginoldrr [11:49] jrib or wols: http://paste.ubuntu.com/43300/ [11:49] LnxGirl: if it doesn't which is possible you have two choices: downlad fglrx frm ati.com directly or wait for intrepid [11:49] wols: no thanks. . step aside please [11:49] i have problem when i remastering 8.04 isolinux.bin failed [11:50] Homicide: line 12. I'd try "ati" first. might be fglrx too. can never tell with those crappy ATI IGP chips [11:50] wols: ok. [11:50] do I just need envyng-core? [11:50] !info envyng [11:50] Package envyng does not exist in hardy [11:50] :P [11:51] Anyone here knows if it's possible to install a sound driver that exists in ubuntu 8.04 on 7.10? if not please tell me why? [11:51] No problem I got it [11:51] LnxGirl: use envy-gtk. nicer to use [11:51] Exception: EnvyNG ERROR: Envy does not recognise your card as compatible with any version of the driver.this might happen because either your card is not supported by the driver or Envy's hardwaredetection failed. You can try the manual installation at your risk. [11:52] awww [11:52] natalisushka: the driver will be the same, just a different version. aolso the driver is part of the kernel. and urnning a kernel from 8.04 is not supported in 7.10. you will need to compile your own alsa or your own kernel [11:52] salve a tutti è il canale help di ubuntu? [11:52] so I guess I should from the offical site? [11:52] !it | gaetano [11:52] gaetano: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!

[11:53] wols: .. now I can say thanks! it didn't take you an hour ;) [11:53] natalisushka: I didn't explain any why either [11:53] natalisushka: "why" questions are not always a good thing to ask. especially if you don't care about the technical details like you [11:53] wols: for me it explains why I can't install a driver exising only in 8.04 for a previous version [11:53] ciao [11:54] hello,im having problems installing ubuntu.i keep getting this error Buffer I/0 error on device fd0, Logical block 0.

(click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [11:54] natalisushka: you can. the question is how you'd do it. and frm what you asked, you cannot do it unless someine does it essentially for you. which will take several hours here over irc [11:54] wols: your answer was sufficient for me not to search if there is a fast solution or an installation. You also can't judge if I am interested or that I care about the technical details [11:54] infinite: booting frm cd or floppy? [11:54] heelo i need speed my pc is low ... [11:54] wols: cd [11:55] wols: looks like its checking the www, can you please tell me where to add my routers address as a DNS [11:55] wols, it appeasr that ati does not have offical drivers for the 4xxx HD series? [11:55] natalisushka: I can. I have some experience about this by now [11:55] infinite: I'd check the CD if it was bruned correctly. sounds like a misburn [11:55] ActionParsnip: /etc/hosts is easiest [11:55] the_eraser: Opera handles rss feeds natively (if that's what you're looking for) [11:55] wols : ok i'll check it out; thqaks for the info [11:55] LnxGirl: they do [11:56] hi there! i was wondering if there's any SATA pci controller card that is supported by ubuntu? [11:56] wols, it's not on the list for linux? http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html [11:56] infinite: first menu on the cd lets you check the CD for errors. do it [11:56] glitsj16: hm i want like browsing i will check maybe its already there :) [11:56] the Radeon only goes as far as 3xxx HD. [11:56] hmm. weird. it should have crashed by now. [11:56] maybe using the older kernel is doing the trick [11:56] wols: i tried it already,it gives the same error [11:57] LnxGirl: use the ones for radeon 3xxx. however, with those drivers you are on your own [11:57] wols: I was asking for a fast solution that I may not waste time as it sounds faster for me to reinstall it ... I am sure I do'nt have the experiance you have, but I am also interested. At least as a beginner in system maintenance. [11:57] infinite: very bad burn :) [11:57] wols: ok :p [11:57] natalisushka: if I were you I'd use 8.04 and not 7.l10 for several reasons. support being one of them [11:58] natalisushka, best to use 8.04.1 and work on the other problems imo [11:58] wols: awesome man, i'll get back [11:58] natalisushka: if 7.10 can support your card, then so can 8.04. just might need some wrangling [11:59] bazhang: wols: I agree, I thought my laptop would function better under 7.10 .. till now, the other problems like VGA and USBs that I had they don't exist here, but sound doesn't work at all! [11:59] hi, i am trying to use grp to parse out some info derom a huge log file. is it possible after matching a line of text to then include the next 4 lines asn well [11:59] isolinux.bin failed when i remastering ubuntu some body help me [11:59] ? [11:59] wols, absolutly no other alternative? :( [12:00] LnxGirl: I gave you the alternatives: the ati.com driver or waiting for intrepid. your hardware didn't exist when hardy came out so it has no support for it. you have a very very new card [12:00] wols: checkout the -A option in 'man grep' [12:00] ugh [12:00] * wols does what jrib said for whatever reason :) [12:00] wookienz: checkout the -A option in 'man grep' [12:00] wols, ok. [12:01] jrib: thanks [12:01] !intrepid > me [12:01] LnxGirl, please see my private message [12:01] LnxGirl: well there is a third one: use radeonhd cvs checkout. but trust me you don't want to do that :P [12:01] hi, there are a few apps I'd like to start automatically (like xchat or pidgin) when I log into my session.

[12:08] wols: perhaps you are interessted what the problem caused, the ati card was blöacklisted, i had to bturn the check off, and xgl ran because it can be emulated by cpu [12:09] Thank you Vorik [12:09] You are very kind. [12:09] so it was the blacklist after all :( [12:09] * MidnightDevil lol [12:09] thanks for the help wols [12:09] MidnightDevil: not fake ones like yours [12:09] LnxGirl: what will you do?

[15:38] td123: this is what i get [15:38] Rdy: othe configuration are unsupported and couses problems [15:38] danbhfive: whats apt-proxy? [15:39] td123: model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1400MHz [15:39] mysterycool: Type it this way: cat /proc/cpuinfo [15:39] td123: cpu MHz : 600.000 [15:39] Melbjase: then that's what you have [15:39] dm1: did you do any reformattiong ? Partitionstable ? check gparted from live ? uuids in menu.lst ? [15:39] okay and one other thing how would i update my sound drivers? [15:39] mmm someone? [15:39] td123: then why does cpu mhz says 600? [15:39] it sounds quiet and its not 5.1 and nothingcomes out of my bass [15:39] Melbjase: That is probably due to cpu scaling. [15:39] spsneo: it caches downloads from the repos. That way, you don't have to mirror the whole thing, only the specific packages that are requested [15:39] oh ok [15:40] Melbjase: If you do something that requires a lot of CPU, it will scale up. This saves power and generates less heat. [15:40] is that bad? === Sys^ is now known as SysBot- [15:40] bobertdos: What's that? [15:40] ok [15:40] thanks [15:40] Would I be correct in saying that when ubuntu updates packages it throws out the old packages and doesn't update them or put them in a secret spot? [15:40] mysterycool: What's what? [15:40] can anyone offer a suggestion as to why my ubuntu box won't bring up eth1:4 ?

When they updates cups from 1.3.2 to 1.3.7 in their package system they throw out 1.3.2 and there's no way to find that using the package manager right? [15:42] I'm building nsis on Ubuntu [15:42] blackranger: beta for what? [15:42] new laptop.....well refurbished one anyways [15:42] which plugin does ubuntu use for displaying pdf files with evince in firefox? [15:42] it works fine but my client is complaining that he gets the following error: [15:42] danbhfive: then whats the difference between apt-proxy and apt-cacher [15:42] erUSUL, the problem i am facing is not being able to pass command line argument [15:42] to wget [15:42] or lynx [15:42] /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.4' not found [15:42] could I atleast get pointed to a webpage and i'll read up on network browsers I keep runnin into internet howtos when I do a search [15:42] danbhfive the beta for ubuntu after 8.04 [15:42] why would the sound be quiet and my bass not work? [15:42] td123: thanks [15:42] I'm not sure exactly what the relationship is between libc.so.6 and glibc [15:43] erUSUL, # at 6pm 2008-09-05 < '/usr/bin/lynx -source "http://okeysytems.com"' [15:43] I can't see a glibc package on my system [15:43] spsneo: I actually dont know. I think apt-cacher is what you want [15:43] blackranger: there is no beta yet [15:43] erUSUL: I'm able to solve my problems with sudoers :D Thanks a lot! And by the way... it's /usr/sbin/synaptic that needs to be placed in the file to enable sudo'ing for both updating AND installing :D [15:43] Rdy: Go into a terminal and check your levels in alsamixer. [15:43] apparently he has glibc-2.3.4-2.41 [15:43] thx for helping me with the autostart preferences [15:43] does that mean I have to somehow install/build with that version? [15:43] bobertdos: how do ido that? [15:43] forgot the name of the guy helped me! [15:43] danbhfive it's suppose to come out soon maybe it was the 9th.

[15:46] Any idea why using FF with host names (but not IPs) generally won't work? "dig hostname" always resolves fine, and quickly too. [15:46] blackhole: create a file with the command(s) and use "at -f file time" [15:46] bobertdos: now the sound is louder but no bass, and there isn't a bass level in that [15:46] blackhole: averything in the man page [15:46] erUSUL, hmm, okay [15:46] Hello, i need help please, i installed ubuntu on my server, and i would like to know how i can create ftp service on the server (so i can provide users ftp access for uploading files ) ?

My Microsoft 1020 USB mouse isn't working at all on my laptop :( === Luuks is now known as Lukas_Kupczyk [16:34] draginxx: i usually just plug it in and they start working right away [16:34] alaina, what kind of access point is it? a router or an ad hoc network? [16:35] I assume router. I'm in an apartment complex [16:35] draginxx, you plug the mouse in. i never had a usb mouse not work, thank microsoft for your problems [16:35] Gnea, yeah thats what people say, but that isnt the case with me :( [16:35] mEDEc, so you think it's the microsoft mouse? [16:36] I should just buy a new USB mouse yah? [16:36] draginxx: is this the only usb mouse you've tried? [16:36] using the gnome archive manager, whenever I try to open a RAR, I get an unsupported filetype error. the archive manager homepage says that it supports RAR, and the associated icon come up right (so it seems to recognize them) but... am I missing something...? [16:36] mac os x is not compatible with ubuntu why ? [16:36] draginxx, or your usb port [16:36] draginxx: do you have any other usb devices to plug into it? [16:36] alaina, i think i had a similar problem to yours way back [16:36] is the AP encrypted? [16:36] akahige: you have to install either rar or unrar programs [16:36] !rar > akahige [16:36] akahige, please see my private message [16:36] Pavlz: How do you mean incompatible? [16:37] incompatible [16:37] Gnea, my USB ext HD works fine [16:37] mac ox does not see GNU/linux Ubuntu [16:37] Gnea, yeah this is the only mouse Ive tried [16:37] Pavlz, could be it needs some drivers? [16:37] not encrypted [16:37] not WEP nor WPA [16:37] and GNU/linux Ubuntu does not see mac os x [16:37] Pavlz: you can not connect to computers with a usb cable [16:37] it shows that it is not encrypted [16:37] @erUSUL: thanks! [16:37] Pavlz: you can not connect two computers with a usb cable [16:37] Pavlz: see? on a network, in a boot manager? what are you talking about? [16:37] akahige: no problem [16:38] i connected two computers via usb [16:38] do you have dual boot on your comp, alaina? [16:38] draginxx: is it a laser mouse? does it work on any other computer? [16:38] Pavlz, could be something special about Mac [16:38] Vista 64bit and Ubuntu 64bit (Hardy) ...vista can connect to it [16:38] when you boot into vista? [16:38] but I wish to use my Ubuntu install (obvious reasons) [16:38] Pavlz: On XP i can connect USB to USB if i have the drivers installed on both machines.. so you'd have to get drivers installed and working on both [16:39] hey, I noticed someone mention pulseaudio earlier. It makes my system and probably everyone elses horribly unstable and crash a lot, what is the deal with that? I did a fix for flash, and now anytime there is a problem with flash it kills my browser. Does anyone find that this version of Ubuntu, the one that is going to be supported the most and such, is the most unstable release I've experienced since I've started using Ubuntu? [16:39] there is something like up ober usb on sf.net [16:39] If I boot to Vista 64-bit, it shows up as an unsecure network, and I can connect to it [16:39] i got a nokia 770 and it works fine with ubuntu and mac os x [16:39] via usb [16:39] in any case, i think it's because the AP for some reason does not accept your DHCP request [16:39] and this could not to be a problem [16:39] Pavlz, mobile isn't a computer ;) [16:40] I meant to say that it's ironic this release is the most unstable I've experienced yet. [16:40] because nokia 770 is a debian [16:40] Gnea, it has worked on a window computer, and its optical so yes :) [16:40] hello everybody, im installing ubuntu.Should i make a swap partition? Should location be beginning or end?Which mount point should i use? Thanks in advance [16:40] try using a later version of wicd. or reinstall gnome-network-manager and try with that. [16:40] is there any possibility that DHCP got disabled on my machine? And if so, is there a way to reenable it? [16:40] i got 3 chats [16:40] bfrederi: have you tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5587712 for instructions on how to get pulseaudio working nicely with flash yet ? [16:40] I have no connection that I can access to reinstall/download packages via synaptic etc [16:40] draginxx: and do you get any messages in syslog when you plug it in? [16:41] i got 3/4 nicks with four chats [16:41] Pavlz, mobile phones are made to connect through USB because no other way to connect them directly to computer. debian is only an operating system. doesn't tell anything about it's ability using us [16:41] usb* [16:41] you're connected now, no? [16:41] is not a phone [16:41] download a deb [16:41] After installing gFTP, running it I get "Can't find gFTP binaries installed in /usr/bin". Any idea why? [16:41] is a pda [16:41] compengi: uh, most phones can connect via bluetooth these days as well. [16:41] I am connected with another's computer atm [16:41] infinite; yes use a swap. make the size 1GB or 2GB, put it at the end of the drive and mount point is /swap [16:42] Gnea, howmay I view this? [16:42] and google the dhcp problem. as i said, i had a similar problem to yours, but it just went away, perhaps after a reinstall or after an update [16:42] draginxx: open a terminal and type: tail -f /var/log/syslog while you're doing that, unplug/plug the mouse in and wait a few seconds [16:42] Gnea, i ment directly to the computer. not through bluetooth or Infrared adaptor [16:42] hrm [16:42] auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_users(751)create_builtin_users: Failed to create Users [16:43] im getting this error with samba, and some of my stations cant log to the share [16:43] draginxx: if you do get anything, you can always pastebin it [16:43] any clues?

[16:44] Gnea, it could be also that he's using a USB connector that acts as LAN. i saw recently such thing. but i assume he needs some drivers on ubuntu for that [16:44] draginxx: eeek, target? you don't have anything else around? [16:44] Gnea, I have a best buy [16:44] but i need other things at target :P === nick__ is now known as nich^ [16:44] draginxx: i'd get it there - they have a better return policy :) [16:44] alright thanks :) [16:44] off i go [16:44] * Gnea shrugs [16:45] hi, every time I left my laptop for a while, when I move the mouse to disable the screensaver and continue using it the system seems frozen, how can I find out the reason of that fail? [16:47] how can I check if a font is installed on my system? [16:47] any clue for me? [16:47] glitsj16: I've tried a few solutions. I don't think I've tried this one though. I wonder if that will solve the flash crashing my browser problem too.

[17:16] Captain_Redbeard: random mysql queries? sounds like fun [17:16] Captain_Redbeard: where's it getting the input to do that? what file is it reading? [17:16] acemo: indeed :) [17:16] dres: well it reads network/core/cron/cron.php which loads a bunch of other files that actually does the magic [17:16] bout 1-2 minutes after i boot, my mouse stops functioning correctly.

(and possibly give it a nicer name than 80 GB Media) [17:17] shg_sa1: directx games run on wine just like normal programs, but i suggest searching the wine application database to see if there is anything special you need to do to get the program to work. [17:17] just installed Heron on PC. DHCP enabled for eth1. IPV6 disabled. no connection to outside world. Network monitor suggests all is OK but no external IP address and unable to ping router 'Network is unreachable'. I running Ubuntu 7.10 on o the same router on another PC and all is fine. Any thoughts? [17:17] acemo : thnkx [17:18] Captain_Redbeard: you might try specifying the SHELL and PATH variables in the crontab. also, set MAIL to your address, you might get some more information for debugging purposes. [17:18] LtJax: add it to fstab? [17:18] trying to get hdparm working on my dell inspirion and get "Inappropriate ioctl for device" errors [17:18] anshar: how? I used to be able to do it, but now it's all cryptic and unreadable hash values [17:18] got any pointers? [17:18] LtJax: dnno, looks the same old file to me :p [17:18] LtJax; use the UUID? [17:19] Captain_Redbeard: that long stretch is all one line, right? your editor didn't sneak a newline in anywhere? [17:19] what's the UUID? [17:19] sipior: that doesn't seem to be the issue... I've been through that as well :) [17:19] sipior: nope... [17:19] sipior: vim and crontab -e [17:19] Anyone have a list of routers that works for both windows and linux equally? [17:19] LtJax; sudo blkid will tell you all of them. [17:19] Threethan: eh? routers should be unaware of the OS running on client systems? [17:20] Captain_Redbeard: what happens if you add "< /dev/null" after cron.php on the command line? [17:20] bout 1-2 minutes after i boot, my mouse stops functioning correctly. I can still move it on the screen, but mouse clicks don't seem to register (tried two mice, they both work great in windows - dual boot - and have both worked in ubuntu for a looong time) [17:20] Threethan: all routers should work on both windows and linux, there webbased configuration and use tcp/ip wich windows, mac and linux all support [17:20] Anshar: Then the drivers. [17:20] Threethan: there are no drivers for a normal router [17:20] Threethan, routers are stand alone systems. you connect to them only through network [17:20] My motorla router just doesn't work. I've tried everything I can think of. I'm stumped. [17:21] dres: gimme a sec and I'll check it out [17:21] bastid_raZor: ah thx - how can I change the label? doesn't seem to be in fstab [17:21] Threethan: define "not work"? [17:21] Captain_Redbeard: actually, MAILTO was the variable i was thinking of. if you set that, do you get any errors mailed to you? [17:21] Threethan: you dont install the drivers for a router but drivers for a lan/wlan card. [17:21] Threethan: do you get an IP? [17:21] Err.. it doesn't work for ubuntu. It works for windows. [17:21] Anshar: Nope. Just the looparound IP. [17:21] LtJax; you can get it to mount in the fstab with the UUID and tell it a mount point. [17:21] Threethan, could be network problems? [17:21] Threethan: possibly the network card is not supported? [17:21] Threethan: though i would seriously doubt that [17:22] come on guys, need some help on my mouse :( [17:22] dres: why would i like to pipe /dev/null in to the cron.php file? [17:22] How could it be network problems when it works with my windows, but not my unbuntu - dual booting. [17:22] can't use my ubuntu :( [17:22] I can't understand how to install WiFi card that "works out of the box". Atheros chipset [17:22] Captain_Redbeard: simulating cron (to some extent). [17:22] Threethan-> are you on ubuntu now? [17:23] where can i find avant navigator br? [17:23] dres: it still works [17:23] noriyuki; you need to add repos for that. one sec and i'll give you the repo's you need to add [17:23] Captain_Redbeard: does anything get put on std error by any of these commands? can you try redirecting that to /dev/null? [17:23] where can I find awn-window-navigator-bzr package [17:23] anshar, welcome to hands free world with ubuntu :P [17:23] Amenado - No, I'm on windows. I'm working right now, and trying to get information that I can use on my ubuntu after I get done working. [17:23] compengi: not funny man :( [17:24] Hi, I have an Ubuntu 7.04 server box sitting here which is starting to give me a headache. I can connect to it through either ssh or http using an external address, but I can't access it internally by IP. I've got reports that it works for a while after a reboot, then stops working after multiple users connect and disconnect, though I haven't confirmed that. [17:24] sipior: nope, no stderr at all [17:24] compengi: i can't work _at all_ [17:24] Any ideas? [17:24] hey my CMOS battery gets 5.30 hrs back when set to correct time on ubuntu but previiously it was perfect with M XP I live in india [17:24] Threethan, why not on ubuntu? [17:24] Captain_Redbeard: then like others suggested you need more debug info. I'd move the command to a script to run from cron. add set -x in the script and see what the output is. [17:24] sipior: what happens is that, when put in to crontab, it just doesn't seem to get past the pasting of the date [17:24] noriyuki; deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/reacocard-awn/ubuntu hardy main and you'll need deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/reacocard-awn/ubuntu hardy main :: add both of those to your sources.list and you'll be able to snag it. [17:24] dres: gimme a sec and I'll try it then :P [17:24] bout 1-2 minutes after i boot, my mouse stops functioning correctly. I can still move it on the screen, but mouse clicks don't seem to register (tried two mice, they both work great in windows - dual boot - and have both worked in ubuntu for a looong time) [17:24] Compengi - No internetconnection. Hard to work on the internet, when there's no connection. [17:25] Captain_Redbeard: try setting MAILTO and see what shows up [17:25] Threethan: my guess is you rnetwork card is not properly installed [17:25] Threethan: possibly because it is not supported [17:25] Threethan-> info you need to gather in windows and compare when in ubuntu, cat /etc/resolv.conf; route -ran; ipconfig [17:25] hello, want a joint storage partition,both accessable by windows and ubuntu,but which file system should i use? [17:25] infinite; fat32 or ntfs .. [17:25] infinite: I suggest FAT32 for best compatibility. [17:25] infinite: fat32 is the obvious bet [17:26] infinite: but you can try ntfs [17:26] Threethan-> umm the resolv.conf is harder to find in windows..so you can skip that [17:26] anyone else experience pidgin crashes? [17:26] cant choose ntfs, i'll take fat32.Thanks everybody === Syntux_ is now known as Syntux [17:26] albech, no. [17:26] I need some help with routing on linux, with the setup.

It uses Xfce instead of Gnome, so is lighter weight [17:36] Aethelred xubuntu need 192mb ram [17:36] anshar: have you looked in /var/log/Xorg.0.log also?

[17:49] ...bootable floppy diskette, re-run LILO, or have GRUB installed." ...and some more. I decided to check for some advice here before I resume my adventures.

[17:52] bakarat_: i'm baffled as to why you should be able to use one and not the other. you mentioned that it worked fine before, so it seems to me that the live cd should've been fine. might try plugging the thing into a different port, though it's not clear why it would then work under windows. unfortunately, i'm off for home, so i'll wish you luck getting it sorted out.

[17:53] ds[de]:no i have just installed all from add or remove programs [17:53] in ubuntu8 [17:53] sipior, ok, thanks for your help [17:53] nebux Do NOT private message me. [17:53] sorry [17:53] amanulla: Install aptoncd and use that to move the packages to a cd. [17:53] amanulla: then check out the link Pici/ubottu gave you :) [17:53] hey!! I'm wondering whether a Firewire ExpressCard will work in Ubuntu? [17:53] nebux Nothing you private messaged me was read. Start over in the channel. [17:53] if i start amarok i can't hear sound in youtube [17:54] sounds like a problem with ALSA drivers [17:54] what should i do? [17:54] nebux: what is your sound card? [17:54] an intel card [17:55] ICH9? [17:55] how and from where to install aptoncd? [17:55] nebux are you using a 64 bit processor [17:55] nope a coreduo 1600 [17:55] bastid_raZor, okay, I am using Dual OS windows - ubuntu... from ubuntu, I can see that windows partition drive and get into it. You know that everything in windows (all users folders) are stored in "Documents and Settings" folder .... when I try to open it it is all empty. how ever if I log on in windows the files in that folder are in there.... why I cant see them when I am on linux? [17:55] core duo is a cpu not a sound card as far as i know. [17:56] nebux: read this thread https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/234066 [17:56] Launchpad bug 234066 in pulseaudio "Cannot play two sounds simultaneously (dup-of: 220073)" [Undecided,Incomplete] [17:56] Launchpad bug 220073 in pulseaudio "sound only works in one program at a time" [Undecided,New] [17:56] how and from where to install aptoncd [17:56] ?? [17:56] amanulla, sudo apt-get install aptoncd [17:56] nebux: Looks like you need to set your sound preferences from autodetect to ALSA or PulseAudio solves the problem. Read the link I sent you there are instructions. [17:57] noriyuki; what does ls -al /path/to/Documents\ and\ Settings/ give you in cli? [17:58] i'm reading it thanks [17:58] total 28 [17:58] drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2006-11-02 06:02 . [17:58] drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28672 2008-09-03 15:53 .. [17:58] nebux if it's not solved immediately, make sure you have saved your preferences, log out and reboot. It's an easy way to make sure there's not some program hogging your sound card resources and ensures the setting is saved. [17:58] does anyone know how to setup iptables so that when i switch between nics iptables doesnt drops all my rules [17:58] bastid_raZor, what does it mean : total 28 drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2006-11-02 06:02 . drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28672 2008-09-03 15:53 .. [17:58] just run the updates for Hardy Heron and now the display doesn't start. How can I get it back up and running? [17:59] Hmmm..... updates. [18:00] I patched a dvb-driver in my source-directory and recompiled the whole shebang. How should I make sure that the new, patched driver is the one used from now on? How do I install it? [18:01] spree i'll reboot now [18:02] noriyuki; there should be 28 files in there. if you save something in windows in a different directory are you able to view it? [18:02] hey!! I'm wondering whether a Firewire ExpressCard will work in Ubuntu? [18:03] So apparently, currently PulseAudio = usually bad choice, ALSA = usually good choice and autodetect = PulseAudio for your System -> Preferences -> Sound settings [18:04] everytime i access my applications/places/system tab, my dvd drive spins up... is there a way to disable this? It's kind of annoying and I would imagine that theres a large battery hit if I am someone who accesses Places a lot [18:04] can any one provide me a link to get softwares downloaded [18:04] so change it all to ALSA if you're having problems playing two sound sources at once as a good place to start [18:04] ? [18:04] Gnea, you still there? [18:04] I would want to set it so that my dvd drive only spins up if I specifically access the device [18:04] nebux: and? === tolga_ is now known as Kartagis [18:05] Hello. I've installed the kickstart configurator on Hardy with the aim of creating a kickstart file for mass deployment. How would I create something like the Windows SlipStream installer so that I don't have to install the OS and then do updates later? [18:05] amanulla: any sort of "softwares" in particular? [18:05] Hi Im having problems getting my webcam to work === The_Compiler is now known as The-Compiler [18:05] nebux: did it work? are you fixed? [18:06] i was having the same problem playing games in Wine and playing mp3's at the same time [18:06] bloods anyone know how to use firestarter with wlan0 and eth0? [18:06] its a creative vf0330 [18:06] now amarok is blocked asovie i'm running a youtub m [18:06] I just installed cygwin on a vista.. what is the os called.. freebsd or linux/redhat or what [18:06] I got v apache2-dev in the aptitude search apache2-dev, what does v mean here ? where can I get the full expla of the search status code ? thanks [18:06] hi! please tell me, what the difference are between Hardy Heron 64-bit and 32-bit versions? [18:06] nebux try switching to all PulseAudio rather than ALSA then, maybe that will fix it. Also, are you running Flash 10 or 9 [18:07] does anyone have a linksys pci wifi 802.11n card working? [18:07] i got flash from ubuntu ugly i guess [18:07] bastid_raZor, I think so, the only folder I cant see whats in it is that one [18:07] I saw some discussion on it on ubuntu forums and it had instructions but they were made for 7.04 and Im using 8.10, my brother in law also tried it on 8.04 with easycam and got a distroted image [18:07] grandpa 64 bit is for 64 bit processors, which are in many ways faster than 32 bit processors. [18:07] any clue [18:07] hey there [18:07] grandpa: 64 bit only runs on AMD64 and Intel 64 bit processors, such as the Core 2. [18:07] hi all what dos this mean Edit /etc/modules and add "nvidia" to the list have can I do that ? [18:07] spree: thanx. This I know. But what is with the usal programs? Any differences? [18:07] grandpa 32 bit and 64 bit compiled binaries will not run on eachother's processors [18:08] if I have a dapper live cd and wasnt to install hardy what is the esyest way to do that? [18:08] I am having trouble with find ~/xinitrc, it does not appear to be existent. My other option is no longer and option because I don't start in Gnome any more, I start in a virtual console. Can anyone help me? [18:08] grandpa no difference really, in Linux anyway. [18:08] help with firestarter [18:08] spree, you can run 32bit apps on 64bit [18:08] just install the 32bit libs [18:08] noriyuki; it is rather odd why that folder only would not work. [18:08] Anyone knows how to edit "Places" in menu? pictures, videos... if i want to add or remove things? [18:08] grandpa the problem is when you get into closed-source software like Windows, because 3rd party software companies will usually only release 32 bit versions of their software [18:08] please see this problem and help me if you can http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=910281 [18:08] neon3: If you installed Cygwin on Vista, then the OS is Vista. [18:09] baastrup: overwrite the dapper cd with a hardy image and instll from that [18:09] bastid_raZor, I know...... [18:09] spree: ok, sounds great. I have bought new 64-bit mainboard and amd athlon 64 3000 cpu. Will install at weekend - and only linux, no windows ;-) [18:09] frith Oh, I already know this thank you [18:09] darrend: hehe I dont have any empty cds [18:09] noriyuki; possibly save things in a different folder then? [18:09] bastid_raZor, lets suppose that is not the only folder I cant see [18:09] If I have a USB mouse that is detected through lsusb and /proc/bus/input/devices [18:09] why doesnt it work? [18:10] baastrup: is the dapper cd not R/W ? [18:10] bastid_raZor, what would be the problem [18:10] ? [18:10] frith he was asking what the difference between 64 and 32 bit applications is. [18:10] noriyuki; file permissions the only thing that comes to mind. [18:10] darrend: its a home burned one [18:10] any body help me please withe firestarter it never work for my ?? [18:10] baastrup: that doesn't in any way answer the question [18:11] Is there a better option than kickstart for doing mass deployments? Ideally, I want to do a netboot, present a menu where one of the choices is "Install" and if that is selected, require a password before it starts installing. [18:11] baastrup: is the CD re-writable? [18:11] darrend: no [18:12] hello. I need to transfer a folder and all files (and all subfolder--- everything under one folder, basically) from my ubuntu box to my windows client. I tried smbclient ... but that doesn't seem to allow me to transfer folders? (I tried mput ). Is there a better way, or am I mistaken in assuming that smbclient doesn't allow complete folder transfers? [18:12] grandpa: okay, you should have few if any problems, except for with Flash video. Adobe still has not released a 64 bit native Flash plugin, and there have been some spotty compatibility issues. There's 3 open source alternatives that work pretty well but I'm not going to lie to you there have been some crashes on me, generating big empty white spaces where flash content should be. [18:12] ... [18:12] baastrup: then you can either go buy one and burn a hardy image, or install dapper and go through the torture of upgrading to edgy, then to feisty, then to gutsy, then to hardy. I know what I'd do. [18:12] firelog: WinSCP [18:12] grandpa aside from that I'm happy with my 64 bit setup [18:12] bastid_raZor, how do I change it? [18:12] firelog: you could also transfer everything to a fat formatted usb stick :P if you have one [18:12] please firesrarter dont work i need too share the connection fast :'( [18:13] td123, the server is remote, so no, I don't have that option.

[18:13] cilkay, let me go for that option...thank you for the suggestion. [18:13] firelog: And if you're running KDE or have Konqueror installed in Gnome, you could do smb://yourWindowMachineName in Konqueror [18:13] noriyuki; i don't even know if fat32 has file permissions. if so you could use sudo chmod +rwx path/to/directory/ [18:13] firelog, then do use winscp if you're on windows or just plain old scp if on *nix [18:13] darrend: oki my question is, when i boot from an old live cd, is there a change that i can use it to get net access and install a newer version without having to install and old version and do a upgrade [18:14] Nutzebahn ? [18:14] darrend: sorry my english is not that good [18:14] grandpa: you can most likely install a 32-bit OS on your 64-bit system. [18:15] baastrup: which country ? [18:15] I am also running 64-bit Ubuntu, and have also had occasional problems. [18:15] grandpa, you can surely do that [18:15] Hi everybody again [18:15] Aethelred: jo, thanx.

[18:15] firelog: In Konq, you can split the file explorer left and right. Left, I make local. Right, I use for the remote machine, be it Linux or Windows.

[18:43] draginxx: you'll be logged off [18:44] draginxx: /etc/init.d/gdm restart [18:44] if I authenticate with kinit for the same user from same machine, it works [18:44] any advice how to track it down? [18:44] Okay, I have an emergency [18:44] at the command line run the $runlevel e you will see the default runlevel of your machine... [18:45] I managed to screw up the /etc/sudoers file [18:45] and I don't know how to change it back [18:45] and I can't sudo to fix it. === xxxxxx is now known as Guest95278 [18:45] after that enter at the /etc/rc(number of your runlevel).d [18:45] Todd9: boot into recovery mode or edit it from a livecd [18:45] I can't do that, it's at a datacenter [18:46] and the datacenter NOC techs can't do it for you? === kaalund is now known as kaalund_ === kaalund_ is now known as kaalund [18:46] nsa maindatacenter,lol === xxxxxx is now known as Guest31874 [18:47] Todd9 is it a Dell Poweredge with an accessible DRAC card on it? [18:47] I don't know how the datacenter techs can do it without taking down the machine [18:47] there you should change the names of service that you don't wanna up at init of that runlevel. Just change the begin name from 'S' to 'K' [18:48] or how they would even log in [18:48] hello [18:48] Todd9: so you can't sudo and do not have physical access to the machine ?? you are sc***ed [18:48] right [18:48] Todd9 well they have to take down the machine to use the livecd or recovery mode === kaalund is now known as kaalund_ [18:48] can I just have them bring the machine into single-user mode and edit the file, then bring it back up? === kaalund_ is now known as kaalund [18:48] somebody else answer that question [18:48] the problem is that I don't know what login they would use [18:49] or if they would need one [18:49] gfy [18:49] in single user mode no they need no login they are root [18:49] Todd9: how set up the machine ? [18:49] Todd9: maybe ... but you need sudo to call "sudo telnit 1" back to square 1 [18:49] Todd9: who set up the machine ? [18:49] okay, does ubuntu support a single user mode, and how do I get them there? [18:49] Todd9: You need to suck it up and call them. No one here knows how it is set up. [18:49] I will [18:49] I just need to know what to tell them. [18:50] Todd9: if they boot into recovery mode they end up on a root shell no questions asked [18:50] okay [18:50] Todd9: tell them what you did. [18:50] Can anyone tell me when Intrepid alpha5 will show its head? [18:50] Todd9: I promise you that they have heard much worse. [18:50] Todd9: unless a sec-freak hasn't forbidden it, single-user mode is possible [18:50] Aethelred; if you can't help. don't speak [18:50] Todd9: there is a menu one of the options is "drop to root shell" or something like that they have to choose that [18:50] and next time when you change your sudoers file make a backup first and date it [18:51] also the easier you get this done, the better your datacenter techs are so this is how you test to see if they are any good or if you should change hosting to me [18:51] spree: well if he screw the sudoers he wont be able to restore the backup ... [18:51] yup [18:51] erUSUL wrong, if he has single user mode he can [18:52] spree: the problem is he can not that's the point of the whole discussion we are having :) [18:53] erUSUL you're missing something or other in this conversation. take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [18:53] Todd9, use visudo in the future; that won't save your changes unless the new file is valid.

I am connecting to a gprs connection using wvdial, but the ubuntu doesnt detect my connection although its connecting. Any help? [19:00] I have two monitors of different size and resolution. My smaller monitor is on the left, and the larger monitor is set as the primary X11 monitor. My smaller monitor desktop seems to be as large as the larger monitors desktop and when I "clean up by name" my desktop Icons, they end up in the unusable part of the smaller monitor's desktop (i.e. below where the monitor is viewing). How do I fix this? [19:01] is there an ocr program that can be taught to understand handwriting? [19:02] is it possible to install additional software when i started from livecd? [19:02] what is the default software package ubuntu uses to tell you when security/package updates are available pls? [19:03] "Please, install the package with full kernel sources for your distribution" What package is that? [19:03] ScheissDrogen, are you still there? [19:03] My mouse works..somewhat decently...the only problem is..is the right click double right clicks and the left click double left clicks. [19:03] Anyway to fix this? [19:04] draginxx: here [19:04] draginxx: apps>preferences there is an option to configure mouse [19:05] how do i make all files (and sub directories, etc) readable and writeable and executable? chmod +rxw -R doesnt seem to work. [19:05] Quick question: I am running an app called Prism (version 0.8). I installed it via the add/remove package manager. There is a newer version of Prism (0.9) on the mozilla website, which is not yet available via the package manager(s). I can get this newer version up and running with no problem, but I'd like to replace the 0.8 version (or remove the 0.8 version) with the newer. However, I do not know where I SHOULD put the app a [19:05] Hi all. Does somebody know, how can I read a memory card's files? [19:05] ScheissDrogen, the "Mouse" in preferences doesn't have a feature that helps my double click problem :( [19:06] gnorbert: is it usb? [19:06] Gnea: No, it's a built-in memory card reader. [19:06] ErikWestrup: linux-headers-2.6.24-19-generic, maybe linux-libc-dev .. try those. If it needs others, they'll be named similar to those. Be sure to use the same kernel version that you're running though. [19:07] ok [19:07] gnorbert: ah. i think you just plug the card in and then select it out of Places. [19:07]  xdaniel: /usr/src [19:07] what is the name of the tool to generate ssl certs in hardy? [19:07] some usb-specialists here?

[19:11] gnorbert: okay, what did you get? [19:12] A clear panel. [19:12] where? top, left, right? [19:12] top [19:12] my ubuntu (hardy) slows down to a crawl use it for more than 10 hours without a reboot! Slowly, the time spent on 'IO Waits' keep increasing. Don't know why! [19:12] ScheissDrogen, using Gnome [19:13] does amarok auto sync ipod classic 6gs [19:13] ScheissDrogen no, it really isn't and i may end up just forgetting it. I downloaded the binary package from mozillas website and ran the shell script that came with it... just dumped it all in /home/tempApps/Prism and it runs fine from there... but, i would like to learn HOW/WHY and WHERE the app goes, etc. It's just how I am... learn through playing with things [19:13] excellent. now right-click on it, then 'add to panel', and then go down the list and select 'main menu' [19:13] g06|in: could be a kernel bug. report it to launchpad [19:14] gnorbert: then, repeat, this time selecting 'menu bar' [19:14] draginxx: as sitting in front of a kde I don't now exactly where its at, somwhere system or preferences ; kdeaccessibility-kde4 is the packet I used once [19:14] gnorbert: if you'd like, you can right-click on the 'main menu' to remove it :) [19:14] I guess can't file a bug as I'm using proprietory ATI drivers! === Lukas_Ku is now known as Lukas_Ku_weg [19:15] g06|in: well that depends how you installed them [19:15] hey can anyone point me towards a good beginner's guide to terminal usage and commands? [19:15] Gnea: Found it, thanks. [19:15] gnorbert: cheers === XLV is now known as Guest73432 [19:15]  xdaniel: realize about update-issues with soft that insn't in your sources.list [19:15] Gnea: how I installed what? ATI drivers? [19:15] what is ubuntu's equivalent of windows systray? [19:15] g06|in: yes. [19:16] irc.ubuntu.com [19:16] can someone tell me if installing ubuntu beside windows on a windows drive, makes that partition into a virtual drive for ubuntu to use ? [19:16] BoltClock: non-existant. [19:16] Gnea: However I still couldn't find the memory card's files... :) [19:16]  BoltClock:control-bar [19:16] Not even in places/// [19:16] hrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm [19:16] I used the precompiled binaries from ATI's site! [19:16] ScheissDrogen: alright, thanks [19:17] Gnea: I used the precompiled binaries from ATI's site! [19:17] ScheissDrogen: yes. i realize that... mostly just a learning experience and desire for newest version. Was hoping for a long time that the software repositories would add the newest version of Prism... but I have a feeling that may be a long time coming. [19:17] Gnea: I guess there's a way to notice new hardwares... [19:17] From console, but I don't now, what's the command for that... [19:17] g06|in: then yes, you cannot file a bug report with ubuntu. you would have to use the ubuntu packaged version in order to do that. === XLV_ is now known as XLV [19:17] ScheissDrogen: thanks for the help and advice. I appreciate it. I believe I will just stick with the .8 version for now. [19:17] gnornbert:i didn't follow your whole conv.; lspci finds the reader ? [19:18] g06|in: ubuntuforums.org might be able to help a bit [19:18] lscpi? [19:18] Which package do I install to get the man pages for the libc / posix / etc functions? [19:18] ShceissDrogen: Found it, thank you. [19:18] gnorbert: lspci doesn't notice new hardware, it just lists whatever's on the pci bus. [19:18] hello how come my screen refresh is slow. i mean when i move windows fast i see their traces and it takes like a second to clear out? Help anyone? it is like when i move windows over i still see their traces. however it doesnt happen when compiz is on [19:18] <`Matir> Are there any cell phones that play nicely with ubuntu? I want to be able to sync contacts/audio/etc. and be able to use internet via 3g occasionally (on the road) [19:19] whabo: only when metacity is on? [19:19] does installing ubuntu beside windows simulate a /dev/sda1 using the drive you install it on eg. E: simulated /dev/sda1 ? [19:19] Hmm, actually it doesn't write it either... [19:19] gnorbert: just because lspci shows it doesn't mean that the proper driver has been loaded and all of everything else that it takes to get it up and working - can you provide a pastebin of your dmesg command please? [19:19] marnanel: nope everytime when compiz is not on ... it doesnt do it when compiz is on. [19:19] !pastebin [19:19] 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) [19:19] whabo: okay, does it do it with metacity with compositing turned on? [19:20] * marnanel is just curious as to whether it's a WM problem or specifically a compositing problem [19:20] does anyone know a simple command line script to take pix out of subfolders and put them in a folder by themselves. I have over 5000 pix in subfolders that I want in one place [19:20] marnanel: yes it only stops doing it when i turn on 3D effects [19:20] hanif: yes. [19:21] would asterix prompt solve the whole prob. just asking before I move them all [19:21] <`Matir> hanif, assuming no filenames are duplicates: find /TOP/DIRECTORY/OF/IMAGES -iname '*.jpg' -exec mv {} /DESTINATION/DIRECTORY \; [19:21] Gnea: http://pastebin.ca/1193952 [19:21] hanif: or find it] has joined #ubuntu [19:21] oops [19:21] that is the prob, they are all named image_thumbnail [19:21] whabo: you are telling me that both in compiz, and in metacity with compositing, things work; but in metacity without compositing, you have this problem [19:22] whabo: is that correct? [19:22] marnanel: yes [19:22] hanif: what is asterix prompt? [19:22] hanif: or find /TOP/DIRECTORY/OF/IMAGES -name "*.[Jj][Pp][Gg]" -exec mv {} /DESTINATION/DIRECTORY \; [19:22] juswt using asterix as the variable designating "any file in string" [19:22] Gnea: Found it... [19:23] *jpg (alll jpegs) [19:23] I'm having a locale issue, it's complaining when ever I use apt, and I noticed /usr/lib/locale is empty [19:23] Thanks for everyone. [19:23] whabo: hm, it is possibly a problem with the wireframe graphics not updating properly then? Do you know whether you have reduced_resources set? === juro is now known as Guest57309 [19:23] uit [19:23] gnorbert: awesome [19:23] ScheissDrogen, yeah my mouse doesnt have that option :( meh thanks :) [19:23] thanks [19:23] why is linux more secure than windows [19:23] marnanel: i have no idea im new to ubuntu i used pclinuxos before [19:24] Can someone help me? My video cam is very slow === Guest57309 is now known as juro_ [19:24] like 5fps [19:24] I'm worried about spyware - is linux really secure? [19:24] because there are fewer flaw inlet scripts written to attack it [19:24] ron_BOY: just don't run windows apps on it and you'll be fine [19:25] whabo: okay. hm. I don't know. Someone reported a similar problem several months back and I thought it was fixed. [19:25] spyware is almost always win32, just download clamav to be safe and you will be fine, and a lot better of than with win [19:25] !virus | ron_BOY [19:25] ron_BOY: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [19:25] whabo: Raise a bug in Launchpad if you like and I'll get back to you there [19:25]  Gnea: gnorbert: sd works now ? [19:25] Okay, guys. I have a slight problem. [19:25] whabo: But in practice, can you not just run composited all the time? [19:25] marnanel: thank you [19:26] ron_BOY: Linux was designed from the outset to be a multiuser, multitasking OS. Windows wasn't. All attempts to turn it into a multiuser OS have just been like putting lipstick on a pig to make it sexier. [19:26] marnanel: i will try to turn off and on things till i find the right combination [19:26] Hey [19:26] I installed kubuntu-desktop a few days ago, but found that it wasn't what I wanted. So, I did apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop, then apt-get autoremove to check for anything that may have been freed. [19:26] cilkay: LMFAO [19:26] whabo: *grins* Well, I'd be interested to hear what you figure out [19:26] Now I still have KDE in my sessions list, and it changed my xubuntu boot image to the kubuntu boot image. [19:26] Anyone know how to reverse this, and fix the sessions problem? [19:27] Fused: to log into gnome? [19:27] I'm on Gnome now. [19:27] whabo: if you're interested in doing some differential tests, try especially different combinations of /apps/metacity/general/reduced_resources and /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager (if you don't know how to do that, I'll explain on the bug) [19:27] hey, can anybody help me with an installation problem? [19:27] Fused: have you noticed any other issues? [19:27] I was wanting to use my Fluxbox, but when I tried to; I found that it went over to the KDE side. [19:28] anyone know how I would go about using more than one device to connect to the internet at a time, I have 2 wireless cards, and one wired, and would like to know how to go about getting them all running at the same time, any ideas? [19:28] but talking security, there werent any needs for encyptionback in dinosaur days so thats a big problem for unix systems that alot of stuff still isent built for that [19:28] There's no other issues that I can pick out. [19:28] Experiment, wich kind of problem? [19:28] It just changed the homepage and everything. [19:28] Basically.. [19:28] how do i edit the remote desktop preferences from text mode? [19:28] Fused: but if you removed kde, then it shouldn't be loading kde, right? [19:28] is there any way I can show the CPU temperature from the terminal? /proc/cpuinfo didn't give me anything useful and not even dstat told me anything about the temperature although it's supposed to (I think). Any other methods? [19:28] marnanel okay .. yes i do know how to :) i am doing it as we speak thank you for your time [19:28] It made KDE look like it was the operating system that I downloaded, when the operating system that I downlaoded was xubuntu. [19:28] whabo: np [19:28] Yes, it shouldn't be loading at all, but it has the Kubuntu boot image, and the KDE sessions tag still there. [19:28] okay, I am going to go look for food. [19:28] I don't know what the issue is. [19:28] Fused: nah, it just changed your desktop layout, the OS is still the same [19:29] Is there any other good links for information about Linux security ? ? [19:29] also_Tom: you can easily connect them all, the trick is to decide what traffic should go through which interface [19:29] I have a root.disk from a windows install, can I in install that disk image? I have a completely full ubuntu install on my hdd now, no windows. === Alien_Freak is now known as Guest281 [19:29] I know.. I"m saying, it's making it look like it's the OS I downloaded. [19:29] nebukan: Huh? What stuff isn't built for encryption? [19:29] I know it's not the OS, because all of my files are still here. [19:29] also_Tom: I don't know how but it should be possible to for example route BitTorrent traffic through one interface and the rest through another [19:29] :) [19:29] However.. [19:29] Fused: and you said you want an xubuntu system, right? [19:30] hi, I tried to edit an ISO using Kiso and after saving with that program I have lost the file [19:30] The system I'm on is xubuntu.. but the boot image changed. [19:30] Here's the situation Locutus, I have had Windows, and I need to keep it on my system because I do a lot of work with Windows stuff, but now I need to do Unix stuff now too and whatnot. My computer that I'm trying to install onto was split into two drives, one for anything, and the other just for backups. I got rid of all the backups on the backup drive, but now I want to install Ubuntu to that drive/partition. [19:30] nebukan: The *nix philosophy is to chain tools that do a limited number of things well instead of gargantuan monolithic tools that do a lot of things but few of them particularly well. [19:30] Fused: right, so try this: sudo aptitude reinstall xubuntu-desktop [19:30] I did notice that when I did "apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop" and then "apt-get autoremove", that all of the files that kubuntu-desktop originally downloaded weren't deleted. [19:30] in the seventies there wasent as big need of a 256kbit blaha, soory if im confusing u... just saying that alot of linux is still plaintext and so on. [19:31] I'm installing from a CD, and I'm booting Ubuntu from that CD right now, and I'm doing the installation but I can't figure out how to get step 4 of 7, "Prepare Partitions" right [19:31] Help: my webcam fps is very low [19:31] Can I use a root.disk to restore all my settings in a full ubuntu install? [19:31] alguem fala portugues?? [19:31] nebukan: What does that have to do with encryption? And why is plain text a problem? [19:31] I have tried doing a cp -r --perserve=all [19:31] Okay, Gnea, it reinstalled. [19:31] after mounting the image [19:31] So, I know that should fix the boot image, and the home page. [19:31] negge: I am using the networking doodad on the bottom that "auto configures" pretty much everything, except the encryption, it does not allow me to connect using more than one device at time, is there another way I should go about this? [19:32] Fused: alright, try restarting and see if the kubuntu stuff comes up [19:32] Will that fix the sessions, too? [19:32] Fused: don't know, let's take it a step at a time [19:32] Alright. [19:32] Be right back. :) [19:32] k [19:32] nebukan: If you're referring to email, plain text is indeed a problem but that isn't for lack of tools but for lack of knowledge of users. To get them to use strong crypto for email in a secure fashion is a very difficult thing. [19:32] anyone able to help? [19:32] Experiment: whole hd for ubuntu ? [19:32] samurroud, bon dia que foi ?

[19:35] will02: If you have to ask... :) Seriously, you don't want autoupdates on server that isn't in front of you. Test locally first then use aptitude or plain old apt in a shell in the remote server. If you want to apply it to a bunch of servers at the same time, there are various ways of doing it. cfengine is one way. [19:35] ? trigger for portugues ? [19:35] i want to backup my software sources and keys [19:35] C-S-B: but my favorite method is to always put /home on its own partition - if you have to restore the base system, you can restore the user data much easier that way [19:35] i know the sources are in /etc/apt/sources.lst [19:35] how do you activate an emerald theme?

[19:36] Fused: alright, let's try something else - can you pastebin the output of this command: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep kubuntu [19:36] ok, basically I have a root.disk file which is the virtual disk from a wubi install [19:36] pt > samurroud [19:37] I'll just do what you say.

[19:38] ron_BOY: bookmark it [19:38] Gnea: http://gpaste.com/p/7dcce [19:38] ron_BOY:sudo mkdir [19:38] I backed up the root.disk to my second hdd before doing a full ubuntu install [19:38] Gnea: Thanks [19:39] I lost the multimedia key functionality on my logitech G11 USB keyboard. Xorg.0.log is showing a strange "unreported prefix0 scancode" message. Also, xev no longer reports any scancodes when pressing the keys, BUT system>preferences>keyboard shortcuts DOES detect them all correctly. [19:39] _roberto [19:39] will02: no [19:40] Fused: okay, let's knock that all out: for i in `dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep k3b | awk '{print $2}'`; do j=`echo $i`; sudo apt-get remove "$j"; done [19:40] Is there a way in GDM to have both the username and password appear on the same page like in KDM? [19:40] Gnea: When I installed the KDE, it asked me which windows manager I wanted as default. It had 1. gdm 2. kde [19:41] erusul, is there a way then to have ubuntu automatically update itself without any human interaction, say every week?, i know cron would do for the scheduling [19:41] I input 1, but could it have set it to KDE? [19:41] Hi, why is it, when I delete movie files, there's no free up space, I have my movies on an an other partiton, which is NTFS formated. It's is stresfull, beacuse now I have 5 GB of secret unerased TRASH... [19:41] Fused: it shouldn't be a problem :) [19:41] will02: well cron jobs shcheduled by root are run as root [19:41] Fused: ACK - mistyped :) [19:41] erusul, ok thanks [19:41] Fused: okay, let's knock that all out: for i in `dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep kubuntu | awk '{print $2}'`; do j=`echo $i`; sudo apt-get remove "$j"; done [19:42] Fused: keep k3b, k3b is good ;) [19:42] will02: You're asking for trouble doing that on a remote machine but if you must, just set up a cron job to do it. You can pass "y" to apt-get update. [19:42] cilkay, why am i asking for trouble? [19:42] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [19:43] Fused: ok, run that [19:43] How can I let the updates automatically install without the tray icon giving so distracting notifications? I wouldn't know why to exclude in update in advance anyway. === jcrowley is now known as fourty2 [19:44] ola [19:44] will02: For reasons I explained earlier. Most of the time, it'll be fine. The few times it isn't will cause you great pain and you'll regret it. Test updates locally, in a virtual machine locally if you prefer, and then apply remotely. [19:44] When I try to do fdisk -l I get no list of drives or partitions [19:44] cilkay, ok [19:44] will02: I'm working under the assumption that the remote server is colocated and needs to have high uptime. [19:44] PiemanXC: try sudo fdisk -l [19:44] I did Gnea, same results. [19:45] PiemanXC: without an argument like that? === jcrowley_ is now known as rjeilliso [19:45] will02: And that it would be quite inconvenient for you if you broke something with an update. [19:45] it worked without -l.

I'm wondering whether a Firewire ExpressCard will work in Ubuntu? [19:46] will02: Just being cautious. We have hundreds of servers colocated in two different data centres so I speak from experience :) === rjeilliso is now known as jcrowley [19:46] Fused: okay - try the reinstall xbuntu-desktop again [19:46] Reinstalling. [19:46] Fused: WAIT - which command? [19:46] .... [19:46] aptitude reinstall xubuntu-desktop [19:46] cilkay, i would imagine that would be painful, but then its not doing anything too strange, just holding media, and a web server [19:47] no, before that [19:47] which command finished?

[19:51] Olsson305: check this out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [19:51] !zip > McAfee17 [19:51] is that a terminal command? [19:51] Gnea: mplayer [19:51] compengi: is that a terminal command? [19:52] Olsson305: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [19:52] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [19:52] McAfee17, please see my private message [19:52] Gnea: alsa doesnt work period. but if i output directly to hdmi i get a sound once every 5 tries or so [19:52] hi, is it posible to play drm wma files?

Though, when I restarted, it went to a routine disk check, and gave an error "fcsk has closed with error 4" or something like that. [19:53] Hi to all. [19:53] tsukasa: no, could you please pastebin your ~/.mplayer/config file? [19:53] Gnea - Any idea why my computer almost dies? All I did was to install NAT/Firewall [19:53] Gnea: i just do mplayer file -ao alsa [19:53] will02: Same here, for the most part. That doesn't mean the potential for breakage doesn't exist. One strategy we use to minimize that risk is that we virtualize every server. The host runs a very minimal installation with the only network-related daemon being sshd. We then use Xen or OpenVZ to create virtual machines into which we install whatever, web server, db server, etc. [19:53] Any Inspiron 1501 users here with Ubuntu? [19:53] Fused: eeeh? then what? [19:53] Gnea: that overrides the config [19:54] tsukasa: and it works? [19:54] Gnea: no, i get that error. alsa itself doesnt work, not mplayer [19:54] It asked me for the root password for maintenence, and said that I needed to run some command. I don't trust myself doing something that could possibly screw everything up, so I figured that I would check to see what the hell it meant first. [19:54] Can someone help me with this, even at this point when i read, I'm clueless... [19:54] tsukasa: what about alsamixer? [19:54] Gnea: all levels maxed and unmuted [19:55] tsukasa: and if you: cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp [19:55] Olsson305:what is wrong? [19:55] Gnea: if that was supposed to do anything its not [19:55] barbarella - well, I tried to configure NAT/Firewalls after some tutorial. Now pretty much nothing works, takes like 5min to start the computer [19:55] , [19:56] Also, my internet doesnt work anymore.. What should I do? [19:56] tsukasa: is it just sitting there or did it return to the prompt? [19:56] Gnea: its just sitting there [19:56] baastrup, sure.. on what are you trying to play the wma file? [19:56] compengi: totem, vlc [19:56] tsukasa: okay, then it's working, but you're not getting any sound out of your speakers - have you made sure they're plugged in correctly and turned on? [19:56] Olsson305:what fronted did you install [19:57] Sorry. [19:57] Connection is being gay. [19:57] If you said anything, Gnea, I missed it. [19:57] hello. I've created a symlink using ln -s but it's browken and retruns 403 Forbidden when try to access from web.. any solution please ? [19:57] Gnea: yes, its all setup fine, im trying to get sound out of hdmi, which works if i use the gnome sound thing and select hdmi [19:57] baastrup, if you tried to open a file in totem. it should popup a plugin that you need to download in order to make it run. unless you closed that window once [19:57] Fused: please don't use that term pejoratively [19:57] barbarella, what do you mean, I followed a tutorial. Would you mind taking this in a PM? I can't see what's writting, in a Java room. [19:57] Fused: eh? all i got was: 13:53 < Fused> Gnea: That fixed the boot up image. Though, when I restarted, it went to a routine disk check, and gave an error "fcsk has closed with error 4" or something like that. === ugarit__ is now known as ugarit [19:58] What the hell. === sjovan_ is now known as sjovan [19:58] Fused: I agree with Flannel [19:58] O.o [19:58] Net burp [19:58] Gnea: of course if alsa isnt set up to use hdmi then mplayer obviously wont work [19:58] hi [19:58] Olsson305:netsplit [19:58] compengi: what codec package do I need to install for drm support [19:58] tsukasa: right. [19:58] Olsson305: Have you considered using a dedicated firewall distro like IPCop instead of trying to create one with a general purpose distro like Ubuntu? === GazzaK is now known as Guest93211 [19:58] Agree about what? [19:58] Olsson305:what did you install? [19:59] What did I say that was considered wrong? [19:59] A change in the matrix. [19:59] Fused: so did the system boot up ok after that? [19:59] How do I change language in Spanish Gnome? [19:59] Fused: but 'pejoratively'? I don't think I've ever seen that word on my screen before. It means 'as an insult' in case anyone was wondering. [19:59] baastrup, did you try to download ubuntu-restricted-extras? [19:59] barbarella? [19:59] Fused: oh, when you said 'gay' [19:59] Technically, I wouldn't say gay in a deragitory way towards anyone, since I am gay myself. [19:59] Fused: you used the word 'gay' as an insult.

[20:01] Fused: a.) calm down. b.) it's hard work keeping a busy channel polite, that's why we responded quickly. [20:01] 1) I'm not mad; 2) I know. I've been on IRC 7 years. [20:01] Flannel: Fused just meant that his connection was being "happy" :) [20:01] deepfriedsquirre, have you installed the english language packs?

[20:06] dooglus: it was part of a command that we used to help fix the problem. [20:06] Not really sure what it does, to be honest. I'm not that experienced on linux systems. [20:06] SurfnKid: Dapper has 1.0.10, and medibuntu has Skype for dapper [20:06] Fused: the part I quoted looks a bit gay - it's not needed [20:06] hi, somebody uses ubuntu with macbook santa_rosa??? [20:07] dooglus: no, it's needed. what's not needed is your use of that word. [20:07] Flannel: um.. medibuntu? so shouldi install medibuntu? [20:07] dooglus, did you use that word again? Fused, would you hit him please? [20:07] hey im running linux and about every 30 mins my comp goes really slow, i type 'top' and it appears 'python' is taking up 80% of my cpu, anyone got any ideas which program is likely doing that, something to do with firefox? [20:07] Gnea: it's ok. some of my best friends are backquoted [20:07] SurfnKid: you don't have to install medibuntu, you just have to download the skype package from there. [20:07] Flannel: and not install skype from the website? [20:07] Give me a nine tails whip, and chain him to the wall. [20:07] We'll take turns. [20:07] duncan-nz: thanks [20:07] Flannel: ah ok [20:07] SurfnKid: Because the website (obviously) isn't meant for dapper [20:08] deepfriedsquirre, is something working? [20:08] dooglus: so are mine. the problem is that the word has been given 3 different definitions within the past 4 decades. please, stick with one definition already! [20:08] I can't get the NVIDIA kernel install .run file to work properly [20:08] Flannel: yep thats right, how would i go about downloading from medibuntu?

[20:08] if there is something to read about it [20:08] but the installer says it needs the kernel source [20:08] Gnea: I was only fscking around, sorry. [20:08] deepfriedsquirre, once you got the languages you want ticked (selected) in there you should update the system. Then when you login you can choose from the available languages. You can even make shortcuts to run specific programs in specific languages. [20:08] !repeat > banisterfiend [20:08] banisterfiend, please see my private message [20:08] hehe fscking around!

[20:09] !compile > ehom [20:09] banisterfiend: if you run "ps -Hef", it'll list all the processes in a tree structure, showing which are the parents of which. can you see your python process in the list? [20:09] Actually, I had to CTRL+D and reboot before it would come back up.. [20:10] dooglus, banisterfiend: pstree does that too [20:10] ScheissDrogen: I dont have checkinstall [20:10] Flannel: yes it is, from skype.com gdebi picked up the .deb [20:10] It was forcefully making me either go into maintenance, and reboot.. [20:10] ScheissDrogen: but that isn't required to build [20:10] ehtom, when you've downloaded this nvidia driver, there was a guide provided by nvidia on how to, if you followed it correctly and the setup instructions during your driver install, everything should work fine [20:10] Flannel: thanks let me install that [20:10] So I just rebooted and skipped the disk checking the second time around, so I could get back in and see what to do. === PatchLevel is now known as Guest95126 [20:10] SurfnKid: alright, well, download that deb, and then install it, and gdebi will bring in whatever deps you need [20:10] Fused: oh okay, that's normal operation then. === Cycom_ is now known as Cycom [20:10] Gnea: pstree doesn't seem to give the command list arguments though? [20:11] super im on it... let me see what it does [20:11] hey guys, im recently back into the unix world, and for the life of me can't remember little things.. like how I start a command, on a vt that i can resume later... like an irc session for instance [20:11] Fused: how did it go otherwise? is it trying to give any kde? === PatchLevel2 is now known as PatchLevel === emcepe is now known as mcp [20:11] compengi: it looks like an ubuntu problem, but I will read over nvidia's document just to make sure [20:11] dooglus: ah, good point. [20:11] impulsebsd: look into 'screen' - that's useful for that kind of thing. or 'dtach' [20:11] * SurfnKid is downloading skype from medibuntu [20:11] The boot image came back, the docs are back to xubuntu (instead of kubuntu), and I haven't checked to see if the Sessions changed. [20:11] screeen!~! thats it, thx :P [20:11] ehtom:put the driver to /usr/src , backup xorg.conf , then : sudo sh blabla.run [20:11] I was too worried about the routine checking erroring. [20:12] impulsebsd: if you only want a single command, dtach is a good lightweight way to do it [20:12] ehtom, it shouldn't be ubuntu's because you are editing the kernel and the nvidia driver already changed stuff in the kernel [20:12] dooglus: btw, the j=`echo $i`; is necessary because each result needs to be handled separately, otherwise the data from each result rolls over into the next result, screwing the end result up. === trucMuche is now known as Guest94379 [20:12] thanks guys [20:12] i'll look into dtach, thanks! [20:12] compengi: i'm not editing the kernel at all [20:13] Gnea: j=`echo $i` is the same as j=i unless $i contains whitespace (which it doesn't) [20:13] ehtom, nvidia driver is :) [20:13] Gnea: as j=$i I mean, sorry [20:13] ehtom : which card ? hardy ? 32 or 64 bit ? [20:13] compengi: the nvidia driver is a kernel module, the act of installing it does nothing whatsoever to the running kernel [20:13] Gnea: uh - ok, I'm wrong :) [20:14] hi [20:14] ScheissDrogen: 8800GT, hardy x64, NVIDIA 169.09 driver on ubuntu's xen kernel [20:14] dooglus: no it's not, because j=$i is just shifting the data from one variable to another without change - j=`echo $i` is taking the actual output of the i variable and placing it into j, modified :) [20:14] how can i install aceracpi and what it is anyway? [20:14] ehtom, btw after installing this driver you need to be aware that every ubuntu kernel update you need to rebuild your drivers and after installing the kernel [20:14] yeah I know [20:14] Gnea: try it. I can't find any example where there's a difference between $i and `echo $i` [20:14] but the restricted module's package, for some reason, doesn't include the nvidia driver for xen === Brandon_ is now known as Brandon__ [20:14] im trying to watch a video but totem is giving me an error when i open it [20:14] "The playback of this movie requires a text/html decoder plugin which is not installed."

[20:15] ScheissDrogen, i did it just doesnt play [20:16] Great.. They just announced a Hurricane Watch for us. [20:16] phantomcircuit: if it's text/html it's not a vid [20:16] Fused: you in florida? [20:16] North Carolina [20:16] Gnea: can you find some why to set $x so that this prints something true? echo $x is different than `echo $x` === McPeter__ is now known as trucMuche [20:16] oinck, sigh it is a video [20:16] but i got a 403 forbidden page apparently [20:16] online video ? address ? [20:16] hello all, does anybody run an Asus P5Q mobo?Which network driver do u use? === trucMuche is now known as Guest5662 [20:16] Fused: aah. up in iowa here, still recovering from tornados and floods. [20:16] hi, I was planning to make my presentation in class using my own laptop which runs Hardy. And it went well, however I had hard time adjusting the resolution. my laptop uses 1400x1050 resolution but the projector was 800x600. is there a way to do this without changing my screen resolution? [20:17] We've been having a lot of tornadoes this year, too. [20:17] phantomcircuit: maybe instead of dl-ing the vid you dl-ed the wrapper [20:17] I don't know what the deal is. [20:17] oinck, no it decided i was downloading to fast so it gave me a 403 page [20:17] dooglus: well, the ` are there to denote that the command echo $x is to be run, and then the output be placed into a variable. without the `, the command won't run. [20:18] Fused: global warming ;) [20:18] http://www.uwm.edu/~kahl/Images/Weather/Severe/multiple_tornadoes.jpg [20:18] Gnea: the ` and the echo kind of cancel each other out [20:18] That's when you know you're screwed. [20:18] 4 tornadoes in a line. [20:18] Fused: hehe, let's take this to #ubuntu-offtopic [20:19] i installed my wireless card with ndiswrapper and lshw shows it [20:19] i=$j means "set i to the value of the j variable", whereas i=`echo $j` means "set i to the result of echoing the value of the j variable" - ie. the same thing [20:19] dooglus: not at all. w="echo $x"; is not the same as w=`echo $x`; [20:19] oinck, bethesda is being retarded and capping me to downloading 3 videos at a time at 300 kbps each [20:19] but there is no wireless interface in ifconfig and no wireless network in network config [20:19] hmm help? [20:19] it's not like sending me the videos faster is going to cost them anymore [20:19] dooglus: and w='echo $x'; is almost like w="echo $x"; [20:19] Gnea: no, not at all. I'm saying that x=$y is the same as x=`echo $y` [20:19] Gnea: Before we take it to offtopic, and reverting back to the routine check problem. Is that problem anything to be worried about? Like I said, everything is reading/writing like it should. [20:20] Fused: not unless you see it again within the next 5 reboots. [20:20] hey, i tried to install google desktop using a livecd of ubuntu 8.04 and it won't run ? is it possible? or is there anouther good search tool? [20:20] phantomcircuit: so they are streams, yes? i dont know too much about how well totem or vlc handles streams [20:20] Alright. [20:20] Let me see if I can log out, and log back in on Fluxbox now. [20:20] oinck, no they are not streams [20:20] dooglus: just drop it. :) [20:20] And see if KDE got removed from the sessions list.

[20:20] !ot > ScheissDrogen [20:20] ScheissDrogen, please see my private message [20:20] they are just using a stupid form of bandwidth control [20:21] tracker does not search within achieves [20:21] dooglus: because a) it's offtopic, b) we've already established that they're not the same, and c) now you're going back and saying that they are the same!

[20:22] Gnea: ok, but you're still wrong :) [20:22] dooglus: and most importantly, the command helped the user in his time of need. it didn't fail, so no, I was not wrong. :) === duncan-nz is now known as duncan_away [20:23] mu532: I just made this way to enable xdmcp on gnome desktop: Desktop > Administration > Session begin window > Remote > Stile - The same as local. [20:23] phantomcircuit: that is not unlikely [20:23] Gnea: the command worked, but reveals its author's lack of understanding [20:23] Hey all, can someone help me? [20:24] !ask [20:24] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [20:24] Gnea: KDE is still in the sessions list, and my Fluxbox still looks like it's trying to boot to KDE. === jussi01_ is now known as jussi01 [20:24] The mouse goes all big like it did when I clicked over to the KDE session, and decided I wanted to rid of it. [20:25] Looks absolutely nothing like fluxbox.

[20:26] This is killing our 300 users. [20:26] ok, ive tried installing ubuntu many times on this laptop and nothing happens, the furthest i got was the screen with the logo and progress bar, it instantly snapped to about 1/9 completed then stopped [20:27] Hello!

I have Ubuntu Hardy running and it is driving me crazy that I cannot have multiple programs using the sound card. If one is running on the sound card, the other fails to load saying the card is not available/in use/whatever. Solution?

[20:57] Hi... the card reader on my laptop seems to think its a CD drive :D Think it may be because i installed from USB... any ideas? It says "invalid mount option when attempting to mount the device" when a card is inserted [20:57] !wireless | ijn [20:58] ijn: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [20:58] Fused: nope [20:58] yes [20:58] sealedwithakiss: on hardy compiz-fusion is installed by default. you enable it in Systrem>Preferences>Appearance|effects tab [20:58] ok [20:58] Okay. Removed. [20:59] ijn: there are a list of supported wireless cards there, see which ones will work okay with your dell and figure from there [20:59] can somebody tell me if the deadline for media submissions for Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase is over? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFreeCultureShowcase [20:59] Gnea: KDE is still in the sessions list, with KDM removed. [20:59] erUSUL, I have Feisty. What should I do in my case? [20:59] ok thanks [21:00] i am trying to scp a file and i get stalled status, why is that? [21:00] sealedwithakiss: ooops maybe beryl is the right answer for you then. iirc beryl was included on universe [21:00] what does that mean? [21:00] dGodFatheR: could mean any number of things. probably too much network conjestion. [21:00] hi, I was planning to make my presentation in class using my own laptop which runs Hardy. And it went well, however I had hard time adjusting the resolution. my laptop uses 1400x1050 resolution but the projector was 800x600. is there a way to do this without changing my screen resolution? [21:01] Gnea: How would you use a wildcard in apt-get remove? [21:01] no one here with nvidia and hdmi [21:01] erUSUL, thanks a lot. Do you have any idea why it may have vanished from my applications menu though? [21:01] :v html [21:01] MrKeuner: not really [21:01] sealedwithakiss: dunno really [21:01] Fused: you want to remove all kde apps? [21:01] MrKeuner: An NVidia card could do it - definitely not an ATI [21:01] I was going to do "apt-get remove kubuntu*" [21:02] Cpudan80: there is a clone option at the screen resolution dialog. What's that for? [21:02] because I'm not sure if it removed everything like it should have [21:02] Fused: but you already did that :) [21:02] MrKeuner: for making them exactly the same [21:02] Im having a serious problem. currently using Emesene ( have used pidgid, kmess, kopete) somehow, all msn clients will fail to send/recieve random messages at some points... nay ideas why+ [21:02] i got a problem with smb, i right click on a folder and select share, but it asks me to be root, who do i deal with that? [21:02] MrKeuner: if you have an nvidia card - you need to use nvidia-config and do dual head X [21:02] What the hell.. [21:02] I don't have a clue, then. [21:02] MrKeuner: simple to do with its tool [21:02] Cpudan80: mine is ati unfortunately [21:03] lotta/hellanzb > grabit [21:03] It's confusing me beyond return. I want my fluxbox working, and everything having to do with KDE being gone. [21:03] Gnea, i don't think it's that, because it's not a crouded network on any side [21:03] MrKeuner: you could write your xorg.conf file manually to do it -- but Im not real sure on the syntax [21:03] anything else i might be able to solve? [21:03] Like I said way earlier, it didn't remove everything that it downloaded with the kubuntu-desktop package. [21:03] MrKeuner: I have the same problem with my laptop [21:03] MrKeuner:which ati ? what do you want it to do ? [21:04] dGodFatheR: can you ssh into the remote computer? [21:04] is there a german irc [21:04] Hi. Anyone got experience with compiling the openafs module? Can't seem to get it build correctly.

[21:05] Hey, how do I signify that a new key is owned by the same person as the old key? [21:05] Fused: well, what about aptitude reinstall fluxbox [21:05] MrKeuner-> if you have the entries for 800x600 on your xorg.conf you should be able to use ctrl+alt + or - on the numpad [21:05]  Scogit: pm me [21:05] (gpg) [21:05] dGodFatheR: were you able to get the directory switch? [21:06] dGodFatheR: then try the reverse path, scp from the other to your computer [21:06] Gnea: what do you mean? [21:06] guntbert: OK [21:06] dGodFatheR: with scp -r [21:06] does ufw block all ports by default once enabled, cause i cant access the internet on the other comp? [21:06] I am trying to install Firefox 3. I have used Synaptic package manager to install it, however Firefox is still the same. When I run 'sudo apt-get install firefox 3' it say's that Firefox is already it's newest version, which it clearly isn't. Why could this be happening? [21:06] Gnea: well couldn't even copy one file [21:07] guntbert: BTW, the first is from the remote to me [21:07] Gnea, I tried aptitude reinstall fluxbox, and it still kicked it over to the KDE side. [21:07] sealedwithakiss: that depends on what the newest version of firefox is in the repositories that you have chosen [21:07] now i will reverse to sent to remote [21:07] Fused, you need to change your session at the login window [21:07] oinck, right. So how could I correct this? [21:08] sealedwithakiss: what flavor of ubuntu are you using? hardy surely has ff3 in the repositories [21:08] sealedwithakiss-> try to log off and log back on [21:08] unop: I know that. However, KDE is showing up in the sessions list, and we are trying to get it out. Kubuntu-desktop has been removed from my system, but continues to show up in the sessions list. [21:08] Then it kicks Fluxbox over into KDE, instead of Fluxbox. [21:08] oinck, I upgraded Feist to Gutsy. [21:09] Pirate_Hunter: disable and try it. [21:09] unop: i don't quite understand it. maybe you can help him. [21:09] #join #ubuntu-ru [21:09] Fused, kubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage - removing it has little effect. fluxbox by default does not launch any session managers, are you starting something with fluxbox? [21:09] No. [21:09] lfaraone|ffm: nah all ports are closed just need to open port 80 but i dont want unnessary stuff connecting to it from the comp [21:10] What I'm trying to say is that I removed kubuntu-desktop from my system. I have a few desktop environments on here. [21:10] I have Gnome, Xfce, Fluxbox, and wsii [21:10] Fused, as i said, removing kubuntu-desktop does not remove any kde packages [21:10] However, KDE keeps coming up amongst the sessions, when it has been deleted. [21:10] it hasnt [21:10] Fused: and you have KDE programs left behind? [21:10] anyone know how to suppress join/part messages in xchat ? [21:10] to connect to the internet i only need port 80 (for surfing purpose, etc)? [21:10] guntbert: well it worked the other way, meaning i can send a file to the remote, but can't copy to my pc [21:10] Fused, to remove all of KDE -- see !puregnome for instructions [21:10] Yes. The programs that were installed with kubuntu-desktop were not uninstalled when I uninstalled kubuntu-desktop. [21:11] !purgegnome [21:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about purgegnome [21:11] !puregnome [21:11] !puregnome [21:11] If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome » [21:11] Fused, that's right .. removing a metapackage does not actually remove much [21:11] sealedwithakiss: sorry, i do not have experience running FF3 on Gutsy, maybe someone else can help [21:12] myr, right click the channel tab ... [21:12] This system isn't a pure gnome system, though. It's xubuntu, not Ubuntu. [21:12] dGodFatheR: scp works both ways, wherever you are sitting, so exchange source<->target [21:12] Does that make any difference? [21:12] unop, thanks [21:12] Fused, all will become apparent once you read !puregnome [21:12] !ubuntuserver [21:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntuserver [21:12] !server [21:12] Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI.

[21:14] guntbert: now it's working for me [21:15] dGodFatheR: fine :) [21:15] guntbert: what should my command look like to succeed passing a directory? [21:15] ScheissDrogen: my screen res. is 1400x1050, projector can support max 800x600. Do I have to change my screen res. in order to use the projector? [21:15] ScheissDrogen: ATI Technologies Inc M22 [Mobility Radeon X300] [21:15] which should i learn first shell scripting or python [21:16] MrKeuner: think so, got the catalyst center from ati installed ? [21:17] ScheissDrogen: not sure, what is the binary called? [21:18] unop: I received an error at the end of the uninstall. [21:18] MrKeuner: go to ati hp, get your driver, install it (backup xorg.conf before), very comfortable settings, then [21:18] Is it okay to paste here? (3 lines) [21:18] MrKeuner: 32 or 64 bit ? [21:19] ScheissDrogen: 32. I would not prefer to break my package management heritage [21:19] guntbert: well i can't succeed in copying a full directory [21:19] how can i do that? [21:19] Hey.

[21:21] drunkmuppet: Yes [21:21] Yea, tried that.

[21:22] the other connects by gateway [21:22] it's just the inbound traffic that just suddenly dies [21:22] Jordan_U it doesn't detect the Sound Card, however you can see the card in an lspci -l [21:22] the second computer can ping to internet addresses, for instance: ping www.google.com works [21:22] ScheissDrogen: sounds better. thank you [21:22] drunkmuppet: How can you tell that it doesn't detect the sound card?

[21:54] mysterycool whats wrong with cairo-dock [21:54] ? [21:54] you want to run Linux like it's Mac OS? [21:54] mysterycool: you might be referring to awn, avant window manager [21:54] with gnome xchat, how do i deal with the "you need to be identified" thing for some channels?

[21:57] danyalo: What? [21:57] unavailable: Yes, then what? [21:57] mysterycool: and make that as your background image [21:57] Jordan_U: there's no way to have gnome-xchat deal with it once and for all, rather than reasking every 60 days? [21:57] ive tried watching dmesg, /var/log/messages but no luck there [21:57] in cairo-dock [21:57] dGodFatheR, hmm. do you have sufficient disk space to create the tarball? [21:57] unop: and also, i can't do other operations after that cause it hangs, the terminal is stuck [21:57] Jordan_U: no it was an old music cd i was given [21:57] unavailable: Ok, about how big? Like, 1x1? [21:57] mmmmmmm about 100 giga :) [21:57] mamato, reasking? [21:57] the tar should be a few mega [21:57] mrxmike: I don't think so, you'd have to use ssh keys [21:57] estimation though for sure it's not gigas [21:57] k thanks [21:57] dGodFatheR, very strange.. does ctrl+a, q have any effect by chance? [21:57] mamato, you are identifying to the server. what xchat-gnome has to do with this [21:58] Yowshi: I thought you were trying to mount a DVD, you can't mount a music CD because it's not a real File System [21:58] compengi: don't you have to re-type the irc command every 60 days? [21:58] i installed my ubuntu server , using the default layout upon install where it created the appropriate LVM volumes for the first disk. I had a 2nd disk in the system, which I wanted to use as a mirror for the first disk, but it didn't set that up automatically. [21:58] Jordan_U: no i am having [problems with a music cd. as in unlike other music cd's the thing wont read [21:58] is there a good writeup on mirroring the first disk (boot disk) using LVM? [21:58] unop: let me check [21:58] mamato, everytime you are connected to freenode you need to identify [21:58] mysterycool: shouldnt make a difference, it should stretch it [21:58] jtsigma: /boot can't be in LVM [21:59] thanks guys! time to finally go home. [21:59] kudos [21:59] compengi: hehe worse than i thought... [21:59] Why would changing the login theme to "Human List" on 64 bit Hardy hang the machine? I logged out to see what it would look like and all I have is a black screen and the login prompt never appears and the machine is unresponsive to any attempt to login via ssh. [21:59] unop: no, nothing only the cursor is disappearing and reappears. no reaction [21:59] compengi: it's not possible to have xchat do it for me? [21:59] the terminal is like dead, i must close it [21:59] mamato, you can make it identify automatically every connect [21:59] !lista [21:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about lista [21:59] dGodFatheR, and this happens only for tar? [21:59] dGodFatheR, no other commands? [21:59] Flannel: ah i see. [21:59] is there any flickr uploader for ubuntu? [22:00] !NFS [22:00] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [22:00] Then I suppose is it possible to mirror JUST the "/" and not the "/boot", using LVM? [22:00] unavailable: It does not work :/ [22:00] unop: NOOOOOO i said earlier, also for cp [22:01] unavailable: The background image is for the dock, there is nothing for that extra black thing! :S [22:01] it happens in heavy commands i guess that involve a lot of file work [22:01] dGodFatheR: as a test, can you try this: touch testfile ; tar -cvf testfile.tar testfile [22:01] lets see what happens if i tar one file [22:01] dGodFatheR: do you get an output? [22:02] any preload users here? [22:02] jtsigma: You can have / in LVM (and everything else), just not /boot, and yes, you should be able to mirror with LVM [22:02] yo yo yo [22:02] hey ActionParsnip [22:02] How can I force a dhcpd to send an option with DHCP client requests? [22:02] redbox: let me check those things [22:02] any preload users here? [22:02] firefox always turns grey when uploading to flickr [22:02] is there any flickr uploader for ubuntu? [22:02] ApOgEE-: yes [22:02] dGodFatheR, hmm, maybe you should try another terminal emulator - something like xterm or rxvt [22:02] nnull: what is it? [22:02] ApOgEE-: there is a linux downloader available from the flickr website. [22:03] unop: why, is gnome-terminal not good? [22:03] dGodFatheR: id suggest yakuake ;) [22:03] program for ubuntu, ment to like store ure programs in ram for quick access [22:03] ActionParsnip, ^ [22:03] i will use Xterm in that case [22:03] dGodFatheR: gnome-terminal shouldn't be your issue. [22:03] nnull: make a ramdisk [22:03] davidstrauss, see the /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf file .. also man dhclient.conf [22:03] dGodFatheR: can you try to copy/paste my command above? [22:03] whats that mate? [22:03] ActionParsnip, ^ [22:03] unop: wouldn't that be for configuring the DHCP client? [22:03] redbox: yes sec, it's in the remote [22:03] mysterycool: but there is AWN, http://www.kiba-dock.org/ but for kiba dock you need compiz, i dunno about awn [22:03] !ramdisk [22:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about ramdisk [22:04] how can i boot windows from ubuntu ? [22:04] dGodFatheR, well, i won't say it's good or bad .. the point is to try another emulator to rule out problems with gnome-terminal. [22:04] nnull: you can mount a portion as ram as a hard drive and copy stuff to it at boot [22:04] unavailable: graphics card too lame to hold compiz :/ [22:04] aah [22:04] nnull: they access quick [22:04] then you may have the same problem with all of em [22:04] redbox: well it worked for one file as i expected [22:04] mysterycool: kooldock is ok [22:04] ActionParsnip, oh i see, koz ive disabled trackerd and now ive got nothing to use my 2 gig of swap i pregave :x [22:05] davidstrauss, i've misunderstood you. do you want to set custom options or supported DHCP options? [22:05] NeB1:take a look at /boot/grub/menu.lst [22:05] can any one point me in to a direction for geting help with setup ubuntu to be a webserver? [22:05] actionparsnip: i download awn now i run it and nothing :/ it pops a window so fast that i can see nothing then it's gone :/ [22:05] nnull: this is in RAM not on HDD [22:05] davidstrauss, keep in mind that you can set an option, and the server will pass them with the lease to the client but the client can ignore or override them. [22:05] barbarella: now what ? [22:05] dGodFatheR: then perhaps you're directory is just large for both cp and tar, give it some time. [22:05] unop: well it's the same with xterm [22:05] mysterycool: run it from terminal, you should see an output [22:05] your* [22:05] redbox, my firefox seems freezing rite now [22:06] ActionParsnip, yea, but i was thinking is there a way to store like 2 gig of info in my swap that injects the programs into my ram at boot?

[22:06] question: in a standard install, does cups run in a chroot jail? [22:06] dGodFatheR, maybe redbox has a point .. try using your tar and cp commands on a different directory?

[22:23] ActionParsnip: i got a question on how to determine if an ethernet interface was bad and causing garbage on the network? [22:23] Flannel: i dont get errors, it hangs on those 2 packages. and downloading stops. i then cancel and it tells me they couldnt be fetched. i've left it on half the night and they didnt download. together they are like 700kb only [22:24] k3rnelpanic: Which packages? and do you have any third party repos enabled? [22:24] i do have 3rd party enabled, im pretty sure, i'll check [22:24] How would you determine if an ethernet interface was bad and causing garbage on the network? [22:25] Flannel: yea under software sources i got 3rd party software both boxes checked [22:26] k3rnelpanic: alright, it's possible that those are the causes of this issue. Uncheck them and see if that helps. [22:26] I'm having problems with gibberish text in some internet chat lines. Anybody know why? Could it be a font problem? [22:27] Flannel: ok i'll try it now. im using the ca.ubuntu server [22:27] how i compiled xmms in ubuntu 8.04 how i remove it i didnt install it sudo remove dont work and its 1.2 and not showing in synaptic packege maninger what i di? [22:27] di=do [22:27] to remove it [22:28] looked on inter no infro [22:28] ray__: Packages you compile and/or install manually will never show up in package management. The only way to remove it is to remove the files it installed. Do you still have the make file? [22:28] flannel not sure [22:28] can get it thow [22:28] ray__: Do you still have ths source, etc? [22:28] or did you delete it [22:29] Is there a way to get old Edgy packages? [22:29] flannle i did what web site told me them told me to remove the build folder [22:30] flannle i foled this site http://blog.sartek.net/2008/04/install-xmms-on-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron.html [22:30] how i remove it now [22:31] how do i get java to work online? [22:31] flannel i did what told ,e on this site http://blog.sartek.net/2008/04/install-xmms-on-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron.html [22:31] how do I get the source for the *currently running* kernel? [22:31] ray__: that... guide is wrong. And unfortunately it's wrong in the worst way possible for removing. You should be compiling things to /usr/local/ not /usr/ But, *try* downloading the source again, and *hope* the makefile has a make uninstall or make remove. [22:31] ehtom, you can get it in kernel.org website [22:32] !kernel | ehtom [22:32] ehtom: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [22:32] Applet classes/VncViewer notinited [22:32] what does that mean [22:32] ehtom: that page explains how to get the source from git [22:32] yeah [22:32] but the git source, iirc, is the development source [22:32] flannel if dont then what i do [22:32] not the currently running source? [22:32] dont think it dose [22:32] or am I incorrect [22:32] ehtom: that site should also tell you about 'apt-get source PACKAGE' [22:33] ehtom: actually, there are linux-source* packages too [22:33] Flannel: hmm seems to have stopped again with 1165 of 1167 pkgs downloaded :-/ [22:33] meoblast001, you need to install java plugin for firefox [22:33] Flannel, i can cancel and tell you what they are [22:33] compengi: i did [22:33] ray__: Run that thing again up through step 3 (so make, but *not* make install) and then look at the files in your make, and then remove each of those files from your filesystem (not the ones in your make, although you can remove those too) [22:33] meoblast001, and/ [22:34] jrib: ok. do those sources include the ubuntu specific modifications and patches? [22:34] ray__: Lots of manual file deletions. This is why we use package management, because it means we don't have to waste time doing this. [22:34] is there a 64 bit linux ? [22:34] ehtom: yes [22:34] i mean ubuntu [22:34] flannel were i del it from [22:34] Gimp question: 'Feather' should be in the 'Select' menu according to the official documentation... but it's not in there. Any ideas? [22:34] ehtom: read the description :) [22:34] chino: hes [22:34] hi, cud some1 help me with gnome and clock-applet ? I get this error : The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_ClockApplet" [22:34] meoblast001: is the fglx driver for ati only for 32 bit ? [22:35] jrib: there is no linux-source-2.6.24-19-xen, so I have to use apt-get source :P [22:35] chino, sure. read the topic how to get it [22:35] ray__: You'll see files in your made thing, those will correspond to paths in your actual filesystem. all "make install" does is copies them. You'll see once you're looking at it. [22:35] ehtom: fair enough [22:35] chino: dont know.. but i do know that the Adobe Flash Player is 32-bit only so you would need 32-bit firefox forced if you wanted that [22:35] Failed to fetch http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/usplash-theme-ubuntu/usplash-theme-ubuntu_0.18_i386.deb [22:35] Failed to fetch http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/b/brasero/brasero_0.7.1-3ubuntu1_i386.deb [22:35] compengi: Can you explain why I can see my underscore (_) on XChat, but not in Pidgin? [22:35] O_o; [22:35] Flannel: those are the 2 [22:35] meoblast001: no you don't. flashplugin-nonfree will install fine on 64bit (it uses nspluginwrapper) [22:36] flannel is there comman use to remove itd i can [22:36] Also, the links look like they're using tag with every . [22:36] i know it made its own foder [22:36] ray__: Nothing automated, no. [22:36] omg, it's so annoying that I don't even have a damn clock, what the hack is goin on ? [22:36] well is it even possible to load a driver compiled for 32 bit linux ? [22:36] ray__: It doesn't make its own folder, it throws stuff all over. some stuff in /usr/bin some stuff in /usr/lib some in /usr/share, etc. [22:36] Fused, could be that pidgin handels it another way [22:37] Hm.. [22:37] Fused, try asking in #pidgin [22:37] OKay. [22:37] k3rnelpanic: sure, you could try downloading them manually. [22:37] Flannel: when i go and try and download it from firefox, it doesnt download either with that address but says its there [22:37] i am now [22:37] just says starting download in the downloads window [22:38] !ndsi [22:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about ndsi [22:38] weird, freaking weird [22:38] k3rnelpanic: Try changing your mirror, from ca, although I can download them fine. In your browser, take that URL and remove the ca. from it (so http://archive.ubuntu.com....) [22:38] in an ubuntu install, where does the admin group come from? what package or process creates it?

[22:40] guys, i am having audio problems with clips recorded by gtk-recordMyDesktop, there is always audio loss in those clips, any idea?

[22:45] ok gonna try that [22:45] chino: yes [22:46] k3rnelpanic: look at the bottom of that page, it'll give you the option of 64/32 bit version [22:46] I'm having a problem setting up mpd/ncmpc.

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [23:46] Scunizi: Done that [23:46] is there like some sort of ubuntu radio application, just made for listening online streams? [23:46] url* [23:46] i hjave the windows installer [23:46] infinite: sorry, not sure why that could be? ask around maybe someone else knows [23:47] N0_Named_Guy: does it take a power plug? is it plugged in..? duh questions I know.. [23:47] Scunizi: It is plugged in [23:47] NO_Named_Guy, I'm not sure. I have enabled my restricted driver for my Nvidia graphics card. [23:47] rampageoberon: ok thank you very much [23:47] N0_Named_Guy, [23:47] Scunizi: I attached to it my mouse [23:47] fbc: A network analyzer like wireshark [23:47] infinite: sorry can't help more [23:47] Scunizi: And it is showing the lights [23:48] N0_Named_Guy: have you tried plugging the mouse directly into the computer usb port to see if it works? [23:48] Scunizi: so I guess the problem is within ubuntu [23:48] Scunizi: of course! [23:48] N0_Named_Guy, I have had the desktop cube working in the past. [23:48] T2:when you boot from cd one option is try ubuntu that has basic apps if your sound dose not work there you have a hardware problam [23:48] N0_Named_Guy: how 'bout looking at the bios and checking to see if usb is setup for "both" legacy and 2.0 [23:48] sealedwithakiss: Because my hardware is not that good, my rain effects does not work... [23:48] Scunizi: ok [23:48] Scunizi: good tip ;) [23:49] N0_Named_Guy: don't be offended.. just going through the options.. :) === RoflCoptr is now known as RoflCoptrzZZ [23:49] N0_Named_Guy, my guess is that my graphics card may support some of the effects, perhaps not the more sophisticated ones like water. However, I HAVE had the desktop cube running, and now it does not. None of the effects are working. [23:49] How do you enable desktop cube on hardy? [23:49] Scunizi: no no, I am not offended at all! :D [23:49] taishi28012, So you mean to tell me that there is no utility that will combine active port list from NETSTAT with an app listing from top, and correlate the two listings? I can't believe that I'm the only person on the planet that would like to know this information. [23:49] yeah. configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables [23:49] Scunizi: I thank you a lot :) [23:49] h4x0r: can i try this even though i already have ubuntu installed [23:49] N0_Named_Guy: np [23:49] i'm assuming it's something retarded i'm missing [23:49] Scunizi: I forgot to test THAT :P [23:49] T2:yes you can [23:50] ok i try this and come back to you [23:50] Hi.

[23:51] h4x0r: can i try this without restarting my computer [23:51] recursion: np [23:51] fbc: netstat -p Shows the pid and name of the program to which each socket belongs [23:51] T2:no you would have to restart [23:51] anyone else know what the command to format a hard drive is?
