=== Ramblurr_ is now known as Ramblurr [00:00] favro: but it will be using apt from livecd, installing in chroot environment. that's what I would try first [00:01] hey, I want to format an unformatted partition with qtparted but it says I have to unmount it first. How do I do that? [00:01] if it's unformatted how can it be mounted? [00:01] I don't know [00:01] it had solaris before I deleted it [00:02] Schuenemann: can't you unmount in qtparted? right-click the partition [00:02] mefisto__, only property is shown [00:02] Schuenemann: whats sudo fdisk -l ? [00:03] neversfelde, wait [00:03] !KPPP [00:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about kppp [00:03] !kopete [00:03] Instant Messenger Client Kopete (http://kopete.kde.org) is supporting MSN, Jabber, AIM, YIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ and IRC. See also !Pidgin [00:04] neversfelde, http://paste.ubuntu.com/44361/ [00:04] mn: dialup issues? [00:04] Schuenemann: and you want to format /dev/hda6 ? [00:04] the error says: filesystem not correctly unmounted. You have to run e2fsck. Modifying a filesystem in this state can damage it. [00:05] hello [00:05] hello allen [00:05] neversfelde, no, it's just swap. I think it is /dev/hda2 now [00:05] i just installed ubuntu but am having problems installing the gust additions, can anyone help? [00:05] favro: nah, someone was askin about it over at #ubuntu an hour or two ago and I was just lookin to find out some more on it [00:05] I didn't have any win95 partition [00:05] im on satelite [00:05] i am brand new to linux [00:06] mn: there is !dialup - check it with /msg ubottu !dialup [00:06] neversfelde, it is 15 GB. It doesn't seem to be listed there [00:06] allen: do you mean guest additions? are you using virtualbox or something? [00:06] aiight, thx [00:06] yes, sorry, using sun virtual box [00:06] and yes, guest additions [00:07] Schuenemann: mhh, it was a swap partition? Have you tried it with live cd? [00:07] allen: I think ubuntu has all you need already [00:07] how do I get it to see a bigger screen size? [00:07] neversfelde, no, it had opensolaris. [00:08] neversfelde, take a look at this: http://img295.imageshack.us/my.php?image=qtpartedgz4.jpg [00:08] sure about hda2? hda6 has a solaris [00:08] allen: under system settings [00:09] neversfelde, please, take a look at that picture. It calls hda2 the union of hda5 and 6 [00:10] i figured it out [00:10] allen: you could install virtualbox-ose-guest-utils via adept too [00:10] allen: not sure what you get because I've never run ubuntu using virtualbox [00:11] mrkennie: thanks, i' got it to install. it was a basic linux issue using SH. I am brand new to the linux world [00:11] Schuenemann: sorry, I do not use qtparted ,so I cannot trust it. Probably it is a mistake. [00:12] neversfelde, what should I do? [00:13] Schuenemann: boot a live cd and take a lokk at your partitions [00:13] using what? [00:13] Schuenemann: fdisk [00:14] neversfelde, but will fdisk show an unformatted partition? === c is now known as enhazed [00:14] cfdisk is a little more user friendly [00:15] or parted [00:15] it looks like DOS fdisk [00:15] there are several tools [00:15] let me upload for you what cfdisk is showing [00:16] here: http://img261.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cfdiskmc6.jpg [00:16] fdisk, cfdisk etc will show any partition formatted or not [00:17] fdisk -l isn't showing it [00:17] there is a "free space" below hda6 there [00:17] that's the I wanted to format [00:18] sorry, 1:18 am here in Germany. Have to go. gn8 everybody [00:18] night [00:18] alright, bye [00:18] Schuenemann: you need to create a partition where the free space is [00:19] MrKennie_, ok, I couldn't with qtparted, but cfdisk seems to be able [00:19] MrKennie_, can you tell me what is the difference between a logical or primary partition? [00:20] I don't really know the specifics [00:20] I'm sure someone here does [00:22] oh well, I'll make it logical as my ubuntu one is too [00:24] whats the handy dandy pkg that makes shred an item in the right click menu? [00:25] kgpg iirc [00:27] Good christ - 31 sec lag! Anybody know how to decode a base64-gzip? I try to gunzip it and it says its not a valid gzip. [00:28] hmmm nope that gives me the right click encrypt option..but ummm no shred [00:29] its werid i have a machine here...its a debian testing install..it has it...but it has always had it. [00:29] I can always just use shred in a terminal..it would just be nice to have it right there in the browser [00:31] grendal_prime: what you want is a servicemenu for konqueror or dolphin [00:32] konqueror would be nice [00:32] i dont like dolphin much [00:32] What does it mean when I'm getting Hits while apt-get updating? [00:32] got rid of it actually [00:33] what is the big deal with dolphin anyway.. just seemed not complete to me [00:33] grendal_prime: google "shred servicemenu" [00:33] will do [00:36] ah it needs an addon. [00:44] anyone know how to get IVTV drivers to work ? [00:48] thanks mefisto__ i found something with that [00:49] grendal_prime: was it a shred.desktop file? [00:49] now i can get rid of all this damn porn [00:49] heheheh [00:49] ya that seems to work [00:49] just kidding on the porn by the way. [00:50] those servicemenus can be handy. you can always make your own too. they're just text files [00:52] !Ivtv [00:52] IVTV can be installed on Edgy by following the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_IVTV_Edgy [00:55] I have 2 sessions not responding, how to close both? I'm in my third session, lol [00:56] afeijo: ctrl-alt-bkspc in the sessions doesn't work? [00:56] didnt try, wait [00:56] to anyone who knows anything here or cares to know things: the instructions on that IVTV link are useless and screw things up [00:56] What does it mean when I'm getting Hits while apt-get updating? [00:57] dbglt: now both session shows as not used, but they remain in the sessions list [00:57] apparently all you have to do is apt-get install ivtv-utils, not all the rest of the instrucitons there [00:59] afeijo: hrmmm, they aren't running this way, but I'm not sure how to remove them from the list [00:59] afeijo: I would have thought it would be done automatically [00:59] anyone know how to configure ivtv ? [01:00] dbglt: ow, one is gone, one to go :) it take some time here [01:00] afeijo: :) [01:00] dbglt: the important is it closed firefox, now I can open in other session [01:00] thanks! [01:01] What does it mean when I'm getting Hits while apt-get updating? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/44371/ [01:02] mn: it's fine. Jusrt means it found the server [01:02] did it update though? [01:03] nm: aye. The last two lines tell you that [01:03] I need help with IVTV anyone here know anything about this ? [01:04] sorry, linux noob [01:04] !ivtv [01:04] IVTV can be installed on Edgy by following the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_IVTV_Edgy [01:05] so fetched and reading mean it got the packages? [01:07] mn: yep [01:07] how do I undo this command: wget http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ubuntu/80DF6D58.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - [01:07] and is updating the database [01:07] anom01y: sudo apt-key list, and find the key [01:07] anom01y: sudo apt-key delete [01:07] the help provided by !ivtv screws up your computer [01:08] anom01y: mmm? Installing a gpg key shouldn't do much [01:08] no, well running the other commands provided by that help would have thank god they didnt work [01:09] anom01y: why would it have screwed it, exactly? [01:09] thanks btw [01:09] ok well !ivtv goves you wrong instrutctions, I went in #ubuntu and they told me not to do what I was doing, [01:09] !ivtv [01:09] IVTV can be installed on Edgy by following the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_IVTV_Edgy [01:10] then again, I dont even know what version Edgy is, I have 8.04 so [01:10] it is my bad I am a complete newb [01:11] anom01y, none of that rap ghetto talk here please , use plain english so we can understand you [01:12] lots of people don't know what "my bad " means and it's poor grammar and english usage [01:13] uhh ok, how can I get IVTV working ? [01:13] BluesKaj, alot of ppl use "my bad" these days [01:14] I installed ivtv-utils, and then I tried mplayer /dev/video0, but I get nothing but errors [01:15] do I need mythtv for my hauppauge pvr 150 to work ? [01:15] well mn , it doesn't mean that it should be encouraged [01:16] I agree [01:16] !mythtv [01:16] MythTV is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV [01:16] well time to screw up my computer even more [01:17] we have memebers world wide who are studying proper english usage and expressions that are grammaticallly incorrect can be confusing for them . I'm guilty of it too , cuz i forget sometimes :) [01:18] glad there are people here who care more about grammar than computer problems [01:19] :) Good point Blues [01:19] anom01y, no there are apps like TVTime which should work with hauppage cards [01:19] Could be considered idiomatic? [01:22] mn, I think it's just trying too hard to be cool. [01:22] lol you may be right :) [01:25] mn, I'm an old blues musician so I recognize the symptoms :) [01:25] Lol [01:27] i have been having a problem with my network for some time now,,, i have 2 vista machines and 1 Kubuntu, has set up Samba. i can access the Kubuntu machine from both Vistas, and can see the Vista machines on the Kubuntu, but can't open them,, any ideas? [01:28] Toph, I have to ask the obvious question : do you have filesharing enabled on all machines [01:28] ? [01:28] jeesh get more help in #linux then here [01:28] BluesKaj: i do [01:31] anom01y, if you think #linux can help you more then ask your question there .. I answered your question but you didn't reply [01:33] Toph, Vista has some odd security issues that we here may not be able to help with, so maybe ##winows can help you with that question. [01:33] err ##windows [01:33] BluesKaj: ok,, thanks [01:35] well I was told in #linux that I am missing drivers (after executing a dmesg command), so, my question is how do I install the ivtv drivers, I have a fairly recent kernel and am using kubuntu 8.04 [01:35] Toph, try mounting the shares manually from the command line also. Ive seen the kde and gnome file managers 'share browsing' feature - having some issues at times. [01:36] the instrucitons provided by !ivtv [01:36] !ivtv [01:36] IVTV can be installed on Edgy by following the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_IVTV_Edgy [01:36] are for older versions of ubuntu [01:36] a bit out of date. :) [01:36] anom01y, that depends on the file extension of the drivers , if they are deb files then it's relatively easy as are gz or bz2 [01:37] !find ivtv [01:37] Found: linux-image-2.6.24-16-386, linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic, linux-image-2.6.24-16-server, libvideo-ivtv-perl, ivtv-source (and 8 others) [01:37] dr_willis: could you please give me the command for mounting a share... the Vista machine is 'VistaBox', the share is 'MyDocuments' [01:37] I am using kernel 2.6.24-19 [01:37] Toph, i dont rember them exactly. its the smbmount command I belive. [01:37] dr_willis: ok,, i'll check [01:37] Toph, at least you dont have silly spaces in the shares names. :) [01:37] anom01y, have you looked at TVTime ? [01:37] I installed ivtv-utils, but nothing works (vlc) [01:38] do I need tvtime or mythtv or any of those ? [01:38] anom01y, mythtv is overkill for just watching tv. [01:38] try tvtime , it won't break anything [01:38] !info tvtime [01:38] tvtime (source: tvtime): A high quality television application. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.2-0.3ubuntu2 (hardy), package size 676 kB, installed size 1928 kB [01:38] I just want to record from the video inputs I plugged in [01:39] I don't really need to change channels or any of that stuff [01:41] vlc's pvr settings don't work on /dev/video0, and the command mplayer /dev/video0 gives me errors [01:41] I used tvtime with a sat receiver and remote ..worked fine [01:43] with a crappy ATI TV Tuner card [01:43] ok well I installed tvtime see if that works I guess [01:45] tvtime says no such file or directory /dev/video0 (so Im not on crack) [01:45] the guys in #linux specifically said I am missing drivers [01:46] how do I install the ivtv drivers if the instrutcitons provided from !ivtv do not work ? [01:46] anom01y, OR the module is not loaded... [01:47] try a 'locate ivtv' perhaps. [01:47] or 'sudo modprobe ivtv' [01:47] ok those are done [01:47] no errors [01:47] now check for /dev/video* [01:47] ls -l /dev/video* [01:47] anom01y, there are some changes that might need to made to your Xorg.conf file , but I'm not sure what thay are with your card. [01:47] also check dmesg output now. [01:48] ok /dev/video0 exists, but tvtime doesnt pick anything up there [01:49] alright thanks dr_willis that was exactly what I was looking for [01:49] I got a picture, but its only a fuzzy picture, so I think I need to configure it with tvtime [01:50] tvtime still gives me an error though [01:51] what is video4linux ? [01:51] i download icon set [for home, mozilla] icons are in .png how to hcange icons for applications? [01:52] !video4linux [01:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about video4linux [01:52] !v4l [01:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about v4l [01:55] !info v4l [01:55] Package v4l does not exist in hardy [01:55] bbl [02:03] dr_willis: ok now I see a bunch of fuzz when I use mplayer or vlc to access /dev/video0 [02:03] tvtime still says error accessing /dev/video0 [02:04] {j #bash [02:04] ups [02:05] hi [02:05] I remember I used to have to use mythtv and configure the channels everytime to use the tv/tuner card [02:05] but tvtime doesnt look like it configures the channels [02:06] sounds like its tuning in static. :) [02:06] yeah well I do remember specifically having this issue before, and all I would do is use mythtv, rescan all the channels, then it would work [02:07] mplayer /dev/video0 would work after that, [02:07] so, without mythtv how can I get around this issue ? anyone ? [02:08] try googling for channels.conf === asdfdsa is now known as threepiecesuit [02:10] ok [02:11] I boot my comp. with kubuntu live cd 8.04, I have to change the boot.ini in win, how do I do that? [02:11] ahh ok I see the prob, I am not using the cable input on the back, I am using the video/audio jacks [02:12] so there is no channel, so, I need to configure it for the video inputs === root is now known as Guest76914 [02:23] hi [02:25] who can help me [02:27] how do I mount the windows partition? I boot from kubuntu live cd [02:28] hello folks [02:28] How can I install flash? [02:28] I tried even downloading and installing flash myself, but it said it doesn't support architecture x86_64 [02:29] so I removed that obstruction from the installer script and it says it cannot find the path /usr/lib/mozilla/ which does exist.. [02:29] I take it you are running a 64 bit os? [02:29] Scisco: 3 core phenom [02:30] your processor can support it but what os you running? [02:31] #xorg [02:32] Scisco: kubuntu w/ kde 4 [02:33] okay there are still two types. x86 and 64bit [02:34] anybody? [02:34] hello, do someone knew a videoplayer that can integrate subtitel-files? [02:36] hello KiDFlaSh [02:36] My newly installed wireless driver is bugging me. I can successfully ping www.yahoo.com, but I can not reach yahoo with konqueror [02:36] I can reach IRC channels though. [02:37] who can help with mounting? [02:40] hello guys, you probably heard this a lot of times, but with 8.04 kde4 am having a problem, knetworkmanager is not finding the devices, i changed / /etc/network/interfaces and added me to netdev but luck any suggestions? thnks [02:41] Vermux_: yes [02:43] dh8: what hardware [02:46] hpladds: its a dell inspiron 6400, intel pro wireless 3945abg amd a bradcom ethernet card [02:46] i see the cards in ifconfig [02:49] dh8: are you dual booting? [02:49] yes, with sidux [02:49] hpladds: ok, how do I find the label of the partition I want to mount? [02:50] as root fdisk -l [02:50] dh8: what's sidux? [02:50] sidux its a debian sid based distribution [02:51] dh8: no winders windohs [02:51] ? [02:51] no, no windows [02:52] hpladds: ok, it's dev/sda1 [02:52] dh8: does the hardware work in sidux? [02:52] hpladds: waht do I do now? [02:53] hpladds: yes, and in ubuntu and in dreamlinux [02:54] Vermux_: /dev/sda1 isn't already mounted ? [02:54] I dont know [02:54] hpladds: just courious, whats the problem with windows and knetworkmnager? [02:54] Vermux_: what does "mount" say [02:55] some stuff, it doesnt mention dev [02:56] dh8: I'm not certain that I understand the question. I was just trying to determine that the hardware worked [02:57] ok, how do I mount the windows [02:57] Vermux_: It is unusual that the first partition would not be mounted already if the machine is working [02:58] not impossible by any means [02:58] Vermux_: mount | grep sda1 [02:58] hpladds: ? Im using my laptop to communicate with u. the issue is the desktop [02:58] hpladds: oh, ok thnx, the thing is that i can use my network devices with kubuntu if set them up in the console but knetworkmanager dont regonize them [02:59] hpladds: nothing [02:59] hpladds: I booted with live kubuntu cd [03:00] hpladds: I have to edit somehow the boot.ini win file, because I currently cant boot the machine into windows [03:00] Vermux_: mount /dev/sda1 /name_of_mount [03:01] Vermux_: Ah live cd [03:01] hpladds: yes [03:01] that explains it [03:01] hpladds: nothing happans [03:02] dh8: Sounds like the modules are not being called [03:02] hpladds: the comp. was thinking for a while, now Im getting a new line in konsole, nothing is written [03:03] Vermux_: Does mount say anything different [03:04] hpladds: nothing happans when I trype it [03:04] it is blank line [03:04] how do I cancell that? [03:05] hpladds: thnks ^^ [03:05] ctrl +c [03:06] dh8: You thought of that already didn't you? [03:06] Vermux_: ctrl + c [03:06] hpladds: do nothing [03:07] Vermux_: Can you exit the console and open a new one? [03:08] hpladds: yes, I did that. mount doesnt give new info [03:08] hpladds: I booted with this live cd [03:08] hpladds: I have to edit the windows boot.ini file [03:09] Vermux_: Are you running Windows? [03:09] hpladds: not at the moment because I cannot boot to windows [03:10] hpladds: the machine is running windows usually, but it has a trojan now and I cannot boot now to windows, I have to edit the boot.ini file [03:10] hpladds: yep [03:11] Vermux_: ah I think I know what you're up. What Windows? [03:12] hpladds: xp [03:12] Vermux_: Version XP, Vista? [03:12] hpladds: xp sp2 [03:12] hpladds: I need somehow to change back the boot.ini [03:13] Vermux_: mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /some/tmp/directory [03:14] hpladds: why fat? [03:14] hpladds: it is ntfs [03:16] hpladds: it says that mount point does not exists [03:16] Vermux_: That was going to be my next try, if you want to try it first [03:18] Vermux_: What did you type? [03:19] hpladds: sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/windows [03:20] Vermux_: and you've created /media/windows already (well the windows part?) [03:21] hpladds: yes [03:22] Vermux_: You were right, sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/windows [03:22] hpladds: nothing happaned [03:22] hpladds: I recieve a blank line [03:23] hpladds: by the way I booted the cd and chose start using kubuntu [03:24] Vermux_: You won't get a message saying that the partiton has been mounted [03:24] hi [03:25] But it should show up in when "mount" [03:25] are there any other irc client for linux without konversation [03:25] i don't like qt based application. [03:25] do I have to run that modprobe command every time I boot up ? [03:25] hpladds: it didnt mount it [03:25] Vermux_: grrr [03:25] aotianlong: lots. xchat maybe? [03:26] wait... [03:26] aotianlong: why are you using KDE then? ;p [03:26] thank you , let me try [03:26] hpladds: what do I do [03:26] Vermux_: I just mounted a ntfs partiton that way [03:26] i'm using gnome [03:26] hpladds: running live cd? [03:26] hi I recently had to run a command "modprobe ivtv", do I have to do this every time I boot ? [03:26] Vermux_: You're close here [03:27] hpladds: ? [03:27] how do I set up automodprobe ? [03:27] Vermux_: Nope no live cd [03:27] help [03:28] Vermux_: but if you created the /media/windows in the ramdisk it should still work [03:28] hpladds: it doesnt [03:29] Vermux_: ls -Al /media | grep windows [03:29] aotianlong: ahh. #ubuntu might be a little more relavant then [03:29] is there a better place to put stuff besides the kde startup script ? [03:30] hpladds: nothing happans [03:30] Vermux_: ls -Al /media [03:31] hpladds: nothing happans [03:32] geek_: when i opened konversation,#kubuntu was automaticaily opened. [03:32] Vermux_: ls / [03:33] Vermux_: you really should see "media" as one of the directories [03:33] aotianlong: yeah, thats cause its set that way. just pointing out if you use gnome, (and gtk+ apps) #ubuntu is more relavant ;p [03:33] hpladds: ok, [03:33] hp [03:33] hpladds: yes, I see it [03:34] Vermux_: cd /media [03:35] hpladds: yes it's there, the windows [03:35] Vermux_: then ls ./ [03:35] hpladds: ok, nothing is displayed [03:37] Vermux_: I'm stumped [03:38] Vermux_: you have seen the sda1 in the return from the "fdisk -l" right? [03:39] Oh is windows a directory or a file? [03:40] did you "mkdir /media/windows" as root [03:40] hpladds: I dont see now anything with fdisk -l [03:40] hpladds: Im not sure [03:41] Vermux_: first things first: We don't see the sda1 partition, it's going to be very tough to mount. (smile) [03:42] hpladds: now we dont see, before that we saw it [03:43] Vermux_: sudo fdisk -l [03:43] hpladds: ok, now it's there [03:43] Vermux_: great [03:43] hpladds: /dev/sda1 [03:44] ls -Al /media [03:44] Vermux_: ls -Al /media [03:44] hpladds: nothing happans [03:44] just new blank line with no prompt [03:45] Vermux_: That is weird "ls" is a basic command, it shouldn't cause trouble [03:46] Vermux_: "ctrl + c" doesn't get you out of it? [03:46] no [03:47] hpladds: now I closed the session and opened a new one. there is no windows directory [03:48] Vermux_: we've seen it before though.
