[01:36] hello, how do i remove a program shortcut from the "application" menu? thanks [01:36] dood [01:36] nVidia Corporation C51 [GeForce 6150 LE] [01:36] thats my graphic card now what [01:36] irc.vituallife.combr [01:37] irc.vituallife.com.br [01:37] dumbdum right click on applications then edit menus === biglinux is now known as overlord [01:38] My video card = nVidia Corporation C51 [GeForce 6150 LE] [01:38] Ok, great thanks, now how do I remove the programs that it refered to? (The shortcut was for "WINE". [01:38] what do i do? [01:38] I got a black screen on reboot after enabling graphic accel. ATI HD 2900 XT. Does this mean I have to reinstall OS? [01:39] click on wine [01:39] zammyking111, install the proper nvidia drivers for the card. for starters. untill you get them installed/working. You wont be making full use of your card. [01:39] find your shortcut u want to remove [01:39] right click on it and delete [01:39] Why does firefox always crash on x86_64 ubuntu? I'm running a dual core amd64 64-bit version of ubuntu. [01:39] ok i found my card which was nVidia Corporation C51 [GeForce 6150 LE] [01:39] can i install ubuntu from an external HDD to one of my other hdd in my computer without using the live CD? [01:39] and i dont know where i can find that thing because the installation disc came with my computer [01:39] sometimes u cant delete it so just deselect it [01:39] i didnt buy the graphic card alone [01:39] zammyking111, theres a hardware-manager tool in the menus that 'should' see/install the proper drivers. [01:40] i looked in there and nothing came up [01:40] i went to [01:40] Just create a static .html file on your local disk with >20 embedded youtube links, and Firefox will CRASH on UBUNTU.

[01:40] system > admin > Hardware drivers [01:40] could someone help me install ubuntu from a external HDD? [01:40] please [01:40] zammyking111, 'using a disk that came with the card' is windows thinking.. thers no need for it. It could be that card is one of the problemmatic cards. and you may need to use the envyng tool. [01:40] Who are the people who think this is acceptable? [01:40] it didnt come with a disc -.- [01:40] i didnt install the graphic card manually it came with my comp [01:40] I think I've borked my flash in FF3 [01:41] I added Mint to the repos list, now any site with Flash [and that's about half the interweb...] immediately ping my processor to 100% [01:41] and the sound is really low too.. [01:41] zammyking111, you need to install the proper nvidia drivers reguardless... [01:41] Vista's death is greatly exaggerated. People need to run flash on webpages. [01:41] vlc's pvr settings don't work on /dev/video0, and the command mplayer /dev/video0 gives me errors, but I have ivtv-utils installed ?? [01:41] corben_dallas, mint uses flash 10 beta last i looked.. that could be the issue. [01:41] ok so would i just google nVidia Corporation C51 [GeForce 6150 LE] [01:41] I got a black screen on reboot after enabling graphic accel. ATI HD 2900 XT. Does this mean I have to reinstall OS? [01:41] 'need to run flash' - like we all Needed flashy banners and popup ads... [01:41] dr_willis: so how would I get my flash back to the way it was? [01:42] I had to pay $300 to upgrade my CRT to a LCD before ubuntu 8.04 would work reliably for me. Thanks ubuntu! [01:42] Can someone advise? thanks [01:42] !compile | jessid [01:42] jessid, please see my private message [01:42] zammyking111, No.. You would read the !nvidia bot link/url and read a little bit. its very likely that 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new' will install the drivers.. but You should read and double check for your SPECIFIC video card. [01:42] cant do sudo apt-get install this error message http://paste.ubuntu.com/44394/ [01:42] the Linux nvidia drivers are SHIT. === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond [01:42] corben_dallas, no idea.. fire up package manager.. remove the mint stuff.. reinstall the ubuntu stuff.

For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [01:44] http://paste.ubuntu.com/44394/ could anyone help me with this? [01:44] dr_willis: I am trying as root (I am the only user of my laptop). [01:44] ok how do I tell it to just get rid of the mint stuff? [01:44] Salooooomy, try as a different user.. if it works for the other users.. then that points to a setting issue.. if it never works.. that points to a hardware issue.. [01:45] how do you clean the synaptics corrupted installation [01:45] corben_dallas, thats a very good question.. could have it show by repository. [01:45] it just hung at acidlab installation kind of pathetic [01:45] how do i see my hardware information in hardy [01:45] dr_willis, shift key works in any other apps. just not in any shell... under my user... [01:45] I got a black screen on reboot after enabling graphic acceleration ATI HD 2900 XT. Does this mean I have to reinstall OS? [01:46] http://paste.ubuntu.com/44394/ please!

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [01:46] dr_willis: you mean, "Origin" tab at the bottom? I don't see any Mint mentioned there [01:46] Salooooomy, how about under 'xterm' ? I cant think of a setting that would affect konsole and gnome-terminal both. [01:46] i think my upgrade to hardy caused more problems than it solved [01:46] tvtime says no such file or directory /dev/video0 [01:46] hibernate doesn't work... that was really useful [01:46] the guys in #linux specifically said I am missing drivers [01:46] do you have to be a programmer to set up linux?

[01:47] could someone help me with nic bonding [01:47] cheeky: Depends on your hardware :) But generally no, you don't [01:48] Is there a general search function in Ubuntu? So i can search for files folders on my entire HDD?

Ill try and find it for you [01:49] !downgrade | khin [01:49] khin: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [01:49] Salooooomy...thanks [01:49] khin: if it stopped working in a more recent version, it would be great if you could check if there is a bug at bugs.ubuntu.com and file one if there isn't [01:49] dr_willis: xterm exhibits same symptom, no SHIFT in that app either [01:49] Anyone figure out how to connect to a Google Talk account with Kopete? [01:50] i need someones opinion [01:50] GeForce 6150 LE [01:50] Salooooomy: so shift does work in another user? [01:50] Salooooomy, weirdness.. Id be tempted to try a totally different window manager like jwm , and see if it also shows the same issue. [01:50] sotec_prod: Kopte is not supported in this version. Try nvidia. [01:50] Salooooomy: try running "dash" and see if shift works there [01:50] and http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/components/details/2714.html [01:50] look alike? [01:50] my hibernate just causes the computer to shut down [01:50] mikejet, what? [01:50] mosterfolk: http://www.linuxhorizon.ro/bonding.html [01:50] zammyking111: at least keep it on one line if you are going to be offtopic... [01:50] Jordan_U, yea. i was thinking that also.. I cant think of any setting that disables shift. unless its a capslock issue... [01:51] GeForce 6150 LE & [01:51] http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/components/details/2714.html [01:51] the same? [01:51] zammyking111: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:51] dash has no shift, started in same user... [01:51] I got a black screen on reboot after enabling graphic acceleration ATI HD 2900 XT. What's going on? Anyone? [01:51] Salooooomy, this is using KDE or GNOME as the desktop? [01:51] zammyking111: I think you missed my point [01:51] GeForce 6150 LE & [01:51] http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/components/details/2714.html [01:51] the same? [01:51] KDE [01:51] zammyking111: stop [01:51] zammyking111: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:51] wtf [01:51] Salooooomy: Try doing an "su - " from that same terminal [01:51] zammyking111, that question made no sence.. and thats a SUN web site . so its not ubuntu related at all. [01:52] Salooooomy:And don't forget the '-' [01:52] can somebody help me mount a drive?? or rather teach me heh [01:52] omg its a drivers question [01:52] kern: what filesystem? [01:52] so its related ;) [01:52] ntfs [01:52] zammyking111, sun is not in any way goingto apply to linux drivers... [01:52] other users do not work [01:53] look at the link [01:53] jrib ntfs [01:53] nither does my user su- root [01:53] and maybe ull see [01:53] ;) [01:53] zammyking111, you most likely need to install the nvidia-glx-new package, like i stated earlier. [01:53] ok how would i do that? [01:53] zammyking111, the package manager tool.. or use the exact command i gave earlier. [01:53] kern: do you really care to learn how to mount it manually or you just want it to work? [01:53] what command? [01:53] zammyking111, No.. You would read the !nvidia bot link/url and read a little bit. its very likely that 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new' will install the drivers.. but You should read and double check for your SPECIFIC video card. [01:53] driver questions are the epitome of the bizzare. zammyking111 is being naive. to the extreme. [01:53] jrib i would like it to auto mount everytime i startup... but yeah it wont mount at all right now [01:54] dpkg --configure -a doesnt work [01:54] mikejet, and im about to give up on it. :) [01:54] !ntfs > kern [01:54] kern, please see my private message [01:54] Salooooomy: Does shift work in a vt ? [01:54] agento: "doesn't work" isn't really helpful. Pastebin your command and the full output [01:54] okay [01:54] jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/44394/ [01:54] there its installing [01:54] do you mean in a ssh session from another computer to the laptop [01:55] Salooooomy: No, ctrl+alt+F1 ( F7 to get back to X ) [01:55] now how would i do that with my sound? === PrivateVoid_ is now known as PrivateVoid [01:56] dr_willis : i feel your pain. I spent 100 hours failing to get an nvidia card to work on an old $1000 CRT on ubuntu 7.10(?). Upgrading to 8.04 and a modern LCD FINALLY fixed Ubuntu's problem. [01:56] agento: what's 2.6.24.3mw1 [01:56] anyone know of a speedtest that can run in shell? I like speedtest.net but i need something i can completely run from shell. [01:56] shift works in a VT!!!!!!! [01:56] nope i got the latest drives and its not working [01:56] i did sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new [01:56] and denied [01:56] zammyking111: please stop pressing enter. one thought = one enter [01:56] jrib, a kernel that i compiled long time ago... but i uninstall it and im not using it... [01:56] ok [01:57] I did sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new and it didnt work, or do i need to restart my computer for it to update? [01:57] zammyking111, that !nvidia url/guide i gave earlier - would of told you - to reboot. [01:57] ok that is BIZZZARE!!!!!! how come shift works in a VT and not when using any of three programs that open shells? [01:57] ok [01:57] zammyking111: System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers [01:57] u usually have to at least log-out, log-in after a major package install dont ya [01:57] Salooooomy, im guessing some term setting. but i cant imagine what one. [01:58] agento: hrmm. I don't know how it figures out what it needs to generate [01:58] is it in bashrc? I recently modified it to set compix as my defauly WM [01:58] Salooooomy, Hmmm... IT could be compiz grabbing the key.. Debugging #1 = disable compiz and see if it stillhappens [01:59] I also used the --replace so that it would boot faster and avoid loading another WM [01:59] Salooooomy, why did you mess with .bashrc to set compiz? :) I never had to do that befor [01:59] hi, anyone have any tips for getting the soundcard to work for multiple apps at the same time with Hardy? this used to work just fine in Gutsy. [01:59] trying to kill compiz... [01:59] I just use that fusion-icon tool myself. [01:59] i cant ps -A or | to find compiz's process and kill it (doh!) [02:00] Salooooomy, kwin --replace [02:00] agento: it's a bash script if you want to read it... [02:00] Salooooomy: Just metacity --replace [02:00] what are commercial-quality linux games? games like Age of Empires... [02:00] dr_willis: kwin -- replace worked [02:00] yao_ziyuan, most of id Software's titles run fine on Linux. [02:00] and i personally very much like MechCommander 2 [02:00] so im guessing compiz is grabbing shift when in a shell [02:00] yao_ziyuan, idsofware has their doom/quake games ported over. and a few other comercial companies. [02:00] jdolan__: via wine? [02:00] can someone give me the links to the new beta tests [02:00] yao_ziyuan, so that's the Quake series and all of it's derivatives.. [02:00] jrib, the problem is that dpkg want to do something in other kernel thats not even installed... [02:00] Salooooomy, thats my guess also. [02:01] yao_ziyuan, no natively. [02:01] there are linux binaries you can download, and then you just copy in the game data from the Windows installation media. [02:01] anyone know the link on ubuntu where you can download the new beta test versions [02:01] yao_ziyuan, i'm also the maintainer of a Free game based on Quake, http://quake2world.net [02:01] agento: are you sure it's not an issue with update-initramfs? what's in your /boot now? [02:01] dr_willis: much thanks. can you suggest a way to load compiz at the start which avoids having to load another wm? [02:01] d4t4min3r: #ubuntu+1, and its not beta, its alpha. [02:02] jdolan__: i can't play first person shooter games [02:02] there are other kinds? oO [02:02] ;) [02:02] jdolan__: i feel dazzled and fainted when playing fast moving 3d scenarios [02:02] doh! i've never had that problem at all, but i know plenty of people do. [02:03] jrib, ok how do i update initramfs? [02:03] yao_ziyuan: Not sure I'd call it commercial quality, but xmoto is addictive ( 2D motocross game ) [02:03] is there away to assume root permissions, sudo command but while in a gui file manager, like Nautalis. A right click Sudo or something [02:03] I got an error and it said it cuoldnt find out my graphic card [02:04] lemme see [02:04] smm289: Install nautilus-gksu [02:04] agento: 'man initramfs' I'm not that familiar with it. I do see a -u and -d that looks interesting [02:04] hey guys how do i set the noexec grub flag to happen everytime the os starts [02:05] Salooooomy, i dont use compiz. so No. :) [02:05] perfect, ty [02:05] Salooooomy, personally i thought if you did compiz --replace it set the kwin variable so it did NOT load kwin, then compiz.. but i dont pay much attention to it. === _Zeus_1 is now known as _Zeus_ [02:06] anyone know what i can do because its still not working :( [02:08] gah [02:08] who the **** did the ui design on eclipse ?! [02:09] Can anyone give me a hint on how to install openoffice.org3 in Hardy? I added the PPA (~openoffice-pkgs) to my sources.list but the new version won't show up in aptitude. [02:10] mpoz2: have you updated aptitude? [02:10] I have a friend who still has 7.04 feisty, which is out of support october. if she uses the update manager to upgrade, will she get gutsy and have to upgrade again to hardy, or will she get hardy? [02:10] mpoz2, you did update the repo listing? 'sudo apt-get update' ? [02:11] Pie-rate: You can only upgrade one release at a time (except when dealing with LTS), so gutsy, then hardy. [02:11] favro, dr_willis: yes, of course :) several times [02:11] mpoz2, You wont belive the # of times ive frogotten to do that. :) and ive seen others. === _Zeus_1 is now known as _Zeus_ [02:12] Flannel: and i have to have her upgrade before october or she won't be able to at all? [02:12] is there a tool like Norton Ghost that can totally backup my ubuntu installation? [02:13] I have 3GB of ram in my laptop but I notice Ubuntu only uses about 275MB, way-to go Ubuntu. However, is there a tweak or something to force Ubuntu to use more ram. Guess I have to much ;) [02:13] smm289: it'll use as much ram as it needs... [02:13] complete load into ram or something? [02:13] smm289: run a lot of programs [02:13] Pie-rate: There are ways to do it even after EOL, but that is the easiest. [02:13] ya, thats what I figured [02:13] watch it go up, you can use it all [02:13] smm289: install virtualbox and install another ubuntu inside it [02:13] smm289: Linux will intelligently cache stuff, don't worry. [02:14] hey, where do i look up what kind of SATA controller i have in ubuntu hardy [02:14] Flannel: is running apt-get dist-upgrade the same as clicking upgrade in the update manager? [02:14] yao_ziyuan: lol, great answer [02:15] khin: maybe lspci? [02:15] Pie-rate: No [02:15] What prog to view DVD's? And is it possible to convert to avi or something? [02:15] xindo thats it [02:16] plouffe: need to install resctricted packages [02:16] khin, lspci [02:16] use google [02:16] Pie-rate: there are ways to upgrade using dist-upgrade, but not without other things [02:16] Flannel: thanks [02:16] xindo and what programs?

[02:26] I can't seem to get itt o start as it isn't recognized as installed when I try pcmcia/network start or anything [02:26] Prior to the upgrade I jsut had a stanza for it as eth1 in /etc/network/ [02:27] Ontolog, yes, the GUI just wraps over the commands. I don't know it particularly- have you tried ipconfig and such? [02:27] Why does AWN show three of each icons? [02:27] And can I make it so it only shows one of each? [02:27] cuz awn sucks [02:27] What's the alternative? [02:28] (or) What's the answer?

Any ideas? [02:29] Should I just use the dinky little bar instead? [02:29] I'm having problems getting multiple workspaces to work on my system, I've tried changing it through the workspace pager, compiz settings, and it will never go to more than 1, its setup to 5 rows 5 columns and I still only get one. Anyone have any ideas? [02:29] TheMaxzilla: i think it also separates between launchers and active programs that are running.. duno what the third could be [02:29] MTecknology: you want to control cpufreq from the command line? [02:30] skarface: no - I want to be able to use that applet from inside openbox [02:30] TheMaxzilla: it's clean, simple and fast. that's what i use. if you want to make it look cool i just did the transperencey effect by 50% [02:30] and it looks good enough to me [02:30] MTecknology: ah. no. it's a gnome-applet.

[02:54] Red-Sox: and you don't have compiz enabled by default? that's odd. You have xserver-xorg-video-intel installd, correct? [02:54] ackstorm: They do. [02:55] Flannel: Well I haven't installed that, so no unless that was installed with the OS. [02:55] Red-Sox: Beryl won't work better. Beryl is dead. compiz-fusion is the successor of both compiz and beryl. [02:55] yes [02:55] Red-Sox: Double check that you have it, it should have been installed by default.

[02:58] spiritssight: I had a similar issue in the past after an upgrade, and it went away after a reboot. [02:58] Flannel: No other suggestions? [02:58] spiritssight: Have you tried shutting down all the way and then restarting? [02:58] puff: how can I check to see if its enabled or disabled [02:59] Red-Sox: Take a look at your xorg, it... should be rather devoid of content. Make sure you're not forcing it to use some other driver. Unfortunately, I'm not really an X person, but I'm sure someone can help you out. It really should work (of course, it should have worked out of the box too) [03:00] Flannel: Okay, thanks. [03:00] is it possible to install ubuntu with an external HDD?? coz my live cd doesnt work? [03:00] cheeky: Try the alternate CD instead [03:00] phixxor: i don't trust this list because it says the one she already bought and couldn't get to work, 'Works "out of the box"' [03:00] alternate cd the text based one? [03:00] cheeky: yes. [03:00] is it harder? [03:01] coz it gives me an error [03:01] spiritssight: iwconfig [03:01] when i try to bootit up [03:01] The expected bahavior when selecting my Firefox icon is to launch a new window if the app is already running. That is the case on all my systems. But on one system, I get an error that it is already running. Anyone familiar with this problem? [03:01] and it works fine on my m8s laptop! [03:01] cheeky: It asks the exact same questions. If it gives you errors while booting, verify the MD5 of the iso you downloaded, and then make sure you burn at the slowest speed you can. [03:01] cheeky: Verify the CD's integrity from the boot menu (penultimate option I believe) [03:03] Kind of quiet tonight.. [03:03] errr [03:03] i woudllike some help please [03:04] how may I help you? [03:04] cheeky: If it booted fine for your friend's computer, its likely a good burn then.

I think I'm a few steps behind you [03:09] icedwater: so you can do that usplash thing :S [03:09] ok [03:09] coolpet: probably not.. [03:09] Well, I'm not sure but one of the windows .dll files messed up and almost none of the drivers are working (cd/modems/lan/etc) and it also won't identify as windows so, I tried using my usb stick to transfer the iso and then using daemon tools to mount, but it won't let me. I then just extracted the iso to the usb stick and tried installing from there and it asked me to connect to the... [03:09] ...internet during install and i can't [03:10] I've tried to load the drivers through the usb stick and it refused to work as well === mike is now known as Guest98925 [03:10] N0_Named_Guy, would love to help, but I need to know more? === Guest98925 is now known as Zaiden [03:10] I was wondering if anyone knows of ways to speed up the internet. i have a dual boot and guessing that something is not working correctly since i get 4-4.5 mbps in windows but only about 300kbps in ubuntu. also, when pinging yahoo.com XP takes about 80ms where Ubuntu is taking 500-1600ms [03:10] I've googled around and found the program unetbootin, but i'm wondering if i'll still need to connect to the internet during install. [03:10] nkei0, replace the .dll [03:11] I've tried, it doesn't work. [03:11] nkei0, so you can't boot Windows? [03:11] icedwater: at the moment I can't help you more, I'm sleep drunk... :( [03:11] ethana2: I just hoped you will not say this :( i tried many ways, but i canno t set up. so its impossible this way. thy [03:11] I can get into windows... but almost nothing works [03:11] puff: I sent you a PM [03:11] icedwater: if your talking about changing your usplash res. run sudo gedit /etc/usplash.conf and change it in that file [03:11] * icedwater smiles at N0_Named_Guy [03:11] coolpet: that's one sucky proxy you got there, sorry [03:11] Loganhoup, thanks... but I changed it and it still tries two higher resolutions first. [03:11] icedwater: I think I have some doc about that, in my files [03:11] icedwater: wait a moment plz [03:11] hhmmm [03:12] I installed Wine, but the menu in the applications doesn't show the options for configuring wine or anything, only the program folders. How do I fix this? [03:12] icedwater: have you tried updating it with sudo update-usplash-theme usplash-theme-ubuntu? [03:12] burn image and boot..simple [03:13] ethana2: np :) [03:13] Loganhoup, I will try that... [03:13] nkei0: yer not sposed to extract the iso that way afaik.. [03:13] D1sa5t3r: I have the install files on the usb stick and can run it, but it asks to connect to the internet, and since the drivers for the lan won't load up I can't connect...

[03:14] eubey: It was never in the default repos [03:14] !w32codecs | eubey [03:14] eubey: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [03:14] try burn the image and then boot [03:14] it should work [03:15] and u dont need internet [03:15] D1sa5t3r: So I need to boot from the usb stick? Should I only have the ubuntu files on there? [03:16] burn cd the image much easier [03:17] icedwater: got it [03:17] the cd drive doesn't work correctly [03:17] icedwater: just change the /etc/usplash.conf [03:17] icedwater: to the values you want ;) [03:17] Hmm i'm fully with question :) I have Attansic L1 Gigabit Ethernet, but have only windows drivers on asus homepage. But ubuntu can use it by default, debian not. How can i trace down which driver can be used for it(what driver is used by ubuntu)?

[03:19] yeah, it won't run or boot to it, but with a cd (any cd in the drive) that's the only way I can get into windows [03:19] icedwater: does your monitor and vga support that resolution? :S [03:19] I was wondering if anyone knows of ways to speed up the internet. i have a dual boot and guessing that something is not working correctly since i get 4-4.5 mbps in windows but only about 120kbps in ubuntu. also, when pinging yahoo.com XP takes about 80ms where Ubuntu is taking 500-1600ms.

[03:19] http://cache.lifehacker.com/assets/resources/2007/08/Embedded-CF-Terminal.jpg [03:19] icedwater: maybe it's some argument that is not passed to the kernel in boot time [03:19] but u can't shutdown with cd in? [03:20] how do you know which DD-Wrt to use on a WRT54GS v3 [03:20] icedwater: i can't tell the names right now... but I thing it has something to deal with the framebuffer thing...

[03:25] corunum and icedwater: I think there is a kernel option so you can pass a resolution to the framebuffer [03:25] mine i can use up to 6 or 7 blocks away [03:26] corum and icedwater: I did something like that in a machine running Puppy Linux [03:26] I don't even know what a framebuffer is :( [03:26] corunum: LOL [03:26] hi I recently had to run a command "modprobe ivtv", do I have to do this every time I boot ?

Wifi works great, but I want the extra speed of a wired connection. Anyone know where to start on fixing this? [03:32] Can anyone help. I tried intalling with WUBU and get the option between XP and Ubuntu. But when I choose Ubuntu I just come back to that screen.

And come back (without booting ubuntu) to that screen when choosing ubuntu. Booting XP works fine. [03:34] MellowYellow: plug a cable in [03:34] Gnea, LOL, yea did that [03:35] MellowYellow: what is your network setup like, physically? [03:35] Sometimes, when I try to view a YouTube video or other flash content in Firefox, it freezes for a few seconds and then starts playing a little into the video. Does anyone know of a way to prevent this hiccup? [03:35] hey folks anyone know where rhythmbox icons (arrows, play pause etc) are located?

I can access it by smb://server289. why wont it just show up in the network browse [03:35] MellowYellow: is the router a hybrid wired/wireless? [03:36] right now I am using wifi to connect with the laptop I want to use an ethernet cable [03:36] Meep. [03:36] Gnea, yes [03:36] Gnea OK will try that.

[03:37] MellowYellow: try these steps: a) disable your wifi connection on the laptop, b) plug the cable in [03:37] kindofabuzz: bleh I have to compile it [03:37] the live cd works fine though [03:37] Red-Sox, no you don't [03:37] Gnea, did that, I then have no connection to the internet [03:37] how can I recover my system? [03:37] Vermux_: click on Places->the_windows_drive [03:38] Vermux_: should put an icon on the desktop - double click on it [03:38] tried different ports on the router, they all work for other computers, not this one [03:38] which is the current kernel ubuntu is now on, Hardy?

It isn't listed when I go to System->Pref->Screen Resolution [03:38] Vermux_: between Applications and System [03:38] kindofabuzz: How do I install it? [03:39] kindofabuzz: nvm I got it. [03:39] Red-Sox, hang on a sec, let's pm [03:39] MellowYellow: open a terminal when everything is disconnect and type: ip a , then pastebin the results after you re-enable the wifi [03:39] !pastebin [03:39] 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) [03:39] balleyne, that is most likely because either the monitor or the graphics card does not support it, especially in dual monitor use [03:39] kindofabuzz: thank you. [03:39] Red-Sox, are you registerd so you can get pm's? [03:40] MellowYellow: hmm, that would make sense in terms of a dual-monitor thing. Then, I'd want to turn off my laptop monitor (so as to use the external only)... any idea how to do that? [03:40] http://paste.ubuntu.com/44421/ [03:41] Gnea: where? [03:41] Gnea: it is kubuntu 8.4 [03:41] balleyne, it is a laptop and you are trying to drive both?

I'll look into that [03:44] this is crazy [03:44] well the switch actually does not disable it in linux (really interesting) so I did it from the desktop [03:44] broken1: ?

[03:53] I am helping myself apparently [03:54] Theeb, what sound server are you using? [03:54] broken what computer are you using? [03:54] good, because we're sure not getting paid to put up with your attitude. [03:54] Taterade: a nforce i680 [03:54] Try going to.... [03:55] is there a console command to check uptime?

NO wifi firmware will load, no matter the card. These wifi firmwares are in the kernel blobs. My system worked out of the box. [03:56] Theeb: You could probably still try Pulse for playback though. [03:56] Any idea why my uptime would say there are 2 users? [03:56] or is that counting root plus acct? [03:56] when using audacity and recording at 96000Hz every once in a while the sound skips when I play it back. It sounds great and then it suddenly jumps forward about half a second like there's a hole in the recording. Also, this isn't random, it happens regularly about every 30 seconds. [03:56] does work for mic :\ [03:56] Rakeer: that depends what the output of the w command is [03:57] it does but makes annoying noise when i talk [03:57] Taterade: I can boot into desktop, but no sound or wifi, it seems my onboard LAN port is even borked. Serems like all things related to my Nvidia chipset is broekn [03:57] also, it's not a problem with playback. It actually gets recorded like that for some reason [03:57] @broken goto System-Prefrences-Sound and check to see if changing those options will fix the sound. [03:57] heh lots of output had to pipe to file [03:57] Gnea, http://paste.ubuntu.com/44424/ [03:57] Taterade: it won't because the system no longer recognizes that I even HAVE a sound "card" [03:58] because i have trouble with amarok + vbox sound [03:58] i have to close one of them [03:58] @broken broken sound card? [03:58] its not a sound card [03:58] itsd all onboard stuff that works with the livecd [03:59] keppi: i didn't set up the crontab.. it was done by something else that i must've installed.

[04:01] broken1, just use the older kernel [04:01] bobertdos, and i still have to close one of them, otherwise sound wont work or amarok will freeze if i open the vbox firs tthen amarok.

[04:14] been asking about this for 3 days now, my video playback colors on ubuntu are screwed up, will anyone ever help me? [04:14] * EvolutionXtinct wants to kill adaptec... [04:15] bfig: there's no need for that.

[04:16] bfig: Can you pastebin the exact errors? [04:16] bfig: well perhaps, once you've adjusted your attitude toward those that are making an attempt to help, you might actually solve the problem. [04:16] Aeron|mtf: In the URL bar type "about:config" [04:16] Aeron|mtf: Just type it in Firefox. [04:16] is there a channel for help with ubuntu servers? [04:16] !server | khaotik [04:16] can anyone help with this issue? I have inserted into my .bashrc a script which runs compiz --replace. Compiz starts up, but any shells cant use the SHIFT key. when I run another WM, and then run compiz, everything is fine, but I dont want to use the other window managers, to save on boot time and memory. [04:16] khaotik: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 8.04.

[04:18] i see no option for offline apps notify :/ [04:18] Aeron|mtf: Did you do a search? [04:18] can i speak with some1 i need help :( [04:18] Gnea: i haven't been hostile towards people trying to help me. I've been trying to explain myself from the beginning!. i can personally find the errors if i get the usual information about where the errors are (line, type of error), and those are not showing up when i try to compile. instead, i just get the 'compile failed, x errors found' thing, without any clue where they are [04:18] Aeron|mtf: Search for "offline" [04:19] !ask | illys [04:19] illys: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [04:19] Salooooomy: have you checked out any documentation? [04:21] i am new in linux today i install it in my computer and i cant log in [04:21] if my cpu clock is listed as 1600mhz in my /proc/cpuinfo when it's supposed to be 2600mhz and I'm running a retail bios is there any way to change it? [04:21] Gnea: yes, I have been through many forums (which is where I read to add compiz --replace in .bashrc). I also have been through the walkthroughs in beryl-project.org, and compiz-fusion. I am new to linux, so if there is something simple im missing, my bad. I am only experienced in OS X and AIX [04:22] anyone know how i can set amarok instead of rhythmbox to be the default app that launches when i plug in my ipod??? [04:22] does anyone offer an OpenGL wrapper for non-acceld video? [04:22] illys: If you went through the standard desktop install, you should have created a login through the wizard...... [04:22] bfig: first of all, please bear in mind that this channel is a general support channel for Ubuntu. To ask of any kind of help specific to any program or programming language is clearly beyond the scope, although it is allowed if someone actually knows what they're talking about in regards to that specific subject matter. I realize you had a deadline, but you're just going to have to RTFM until someone answers in #pascal, or maybe find a web-based forum that [04:22] even tho i have all the playback selected as pulseaudio, i am only able to increase decrease the volume from the volume control under alsa mixer device [04:23] Rakeer: You should find an option for iPods somewere in System->Preferences->Removable Media [04:23] 0_o [04:23] in ubuntu, hardy... is there a location where I can specify the WM executable, instead of forcing it to run in .bashrc? [04:24] Gnea: i understand, thanks for trying anyway. please understand i didn't intend to be a prick to those trying to help providing an alternative answer [04:24] Salooooomy: i would highly suggest removing that line from your .bashrc and making sure that you have the desktop effects turned on from the menu correctly: Preferences->Appearance->Visual Effects [04:24] Rakeer: sorry!! :p [04:24] bobertdos: No, I mean an openglwrapper to emulate GL via cpu routines.. [04:24] lol [04:24] ok [04:24] no worries [04:24] Rakeer: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:24] * Rakeer pats FloodBot2 on the head. Good boy. [04:25] bfig: as long as they understand that, then that is fine. have you tried reading the manpage for the compiler, or whatever it is that produces the output, to see if there's a setting or a commandline argument to set for more verbosity? [04:25] my wireless disconnects after a while, it seems like once after a certain amount of data gets transfered it disconnects me, from both my wired and wireless connections [04:25] speener: You should find an option for iPods somewere in System->Preferences->Removable Media [04:25] question: when i use ls -l, what does it mean if a file is highlighted in yellow? [04:26] bobertdos: i checked, but there's no option for it [04:26] Gnea: compiz does not come up in the prefferences menu. Maybe i missed something during the install? in order to run it i have to execute compiz from within my shell. adding it to .bashrc was my way of having it persistent. adding the --replace was only used to keep from having another WM load up and consume resources. [04:26] Gnea: the documentation is online and to be honest i really don't know where to look... i've tried finding any reference to 'debugger output' or 'compile failed' but failed miserably [04:27] Salooooomy: it's not going to say 'compiz' there. you will get 3 options. try disabling it altogether (so there's no desktop effects at all) and then restart the system, then try to turn them on again from the Visual Effects panel [04:27] bfig: what command are you using, exactly? [04:27] Gnea: Trying that, i hope its that simple! [04:27] Gnea: i'm using 'Run' == 'Compile and run' [04:28] (ctrlf9) [04:28] bfig: in your terminal? [04:28] upgraded from 7.1 to 8.04 rebooted and system hangs at BusyBox. Anyone know what's happening here? [04:28] Gnea: in pascal editor [04:28] bfig: you'll have to excuse me, i haven't mucked with pascal in over 15 years (and i hated it with a passion). what's the name of the pascal editor? [04:29] Gnea: 'Free [04:29] Gnea: 'Free Pascal IDE for Linux for i386' [04:30] So there's a new X Server coming in 8.10? [04:30] bfig: and where did you install it from?

[04:34] Kattollikisd: just tell us what the problem you're having is, in detail, and someone might be able to :) [04:34] Gnea, ok :S ( Sowwy ) [04:35] Gnea: i'm not recieving anything when pressing f12... i don't get an option to see anything that generates... maybe it is not configured to give debugging output? i haven't been able to find anywhere to see this [04:36] I can't see the firefox menu ( File.....

Anyone have any ideas? [04:40] Gnea: default terminal size... i had problems last time i had a bigger window and compiled, when it came back the whole thing went psycho [04:40] Nubbie: Does your xorg.conf state to use "intel" ? [04:40] speener: *phew* You know, they really need to stop moving things around on us like that! [04:40] Gnea: what do you mean? [04:41] bfig: try this on for size: exit fp-ide, stretch the terminal window vertically so that it's around 80x50 or taller, then run fp-ide [04:41] bobertdos: i know, every time a new version of anything comes out and nothing is the same... [04:41] Jordan_U: i have an extremely minimal xorg.conf file. [04:41] I mean I know I can just make a script to restore to default and execute it when needed. [04:41] Ketrel: you could just record the original mac to a text file and recall it later [04:42] Nubbie: Does it have a "Device" section ? [04:42] Jordan_U: it just says "configured " in the identifier sections [04:42] Gnea: yes, but suppose I forgot it, is it actually stored somewhere on the device (where it can't be changed) which I locate it at? [04:42] Jordan_U: yes sir it does, and i have specified the "Driver "intel" [04:42] Gnea: internal error and must exit :p [04:42] Nubbie: And it's still not using that driver? [04:43] Jordan_U: i am assuming it isn't, because compiz is failing to start.

[04:43] bfig: something's whacked with your ide config then :P [04:44] Nubbie: Can you pastebin the output of "compiz --replace" ? [04:44] Nubbie: Your card might be blacklisted for some reason [04:44] Gnea: i'm checking some compiler preferences... i'll check all the possible config options and tell you if i get them right... thanks for the help [04:44] I can't see the firefox menu ( File..... Edit...... View... ) in my Global Menu Applet, can someone Help me? pleases [04:44] Ketrel: why do you need to change the mac in the first place?

View... ) in my Global Menu Applet, can someone Help me? pleases [04:50] Kattollikisd: I think the part that's confusing people is that we don't know what the "Global Menu Applet" is. [04:50] Jordan_U, i can't figure this one out. it's still setting to offline when i start up the browser again [04:51] Aeron|mtf: How are you connecting to the internet ? [04:51] Jordan_U, dialup via wvdial [04:51] Is there any diff btween booting kernel 2.6.24-19 and kernel 2.6.22-15?

So yes, always make sure you boot with the latest kernel version available.

[04:57] thats more of a request [04:57] spiritssight: Set-up the one with the WAN plugged in to static ip [04:58] I want newly created filed to default to 664.

[05:02] spiritssight: Look through your router's configuration menus for switching between Router/Gateway/Bridge mode. [05:02] danbhfive: i set it as 0002 anyway ans it seems to be working fine. [05:02] spiritssight: is that screen on the router or your computer? [05:02] its the DD-WRT fireware [05:02] its on the brower [05:02] spiritssight: can you ping the first router? [05:03] spiritssight:: You'll usually find it under some sort of Advanced Routing section. [05:03] yes I am login to the first router [05:03] I want to look back and forth to setup the seting that I did on the first one [05:04] spiritssight: on the second router did you set the DNS to the address of the first router"? [05:04] no [05:04] is that the problem [05:04] Set the DNS and you should be fine. I'm on a computer behind two routers as we type. [05:04] brb [05:07] anyone familiar with the manufacturer GXT? [05:07] apparently it doesn't exist [05:07] and they don't make Wifi USB devices, yet i have one in my possession [05:08] psilo-: use lsusb with it plugged in [05:08] Bus 003 Device 008: ID 148f:2770 Ralink Technology, Corp. [05:08] #openbravo [05:08] is 2770 the chipset version? [05:09] no, but sorta [05:09] but no [05:09] 148f:2770 is the usb identifier, it uniquely identifies the chipset [05:10] how come my usb speakers work, but i can only turn the volume up about a 1/4 of the way, is their something i need to do to be able to use the full volume of the speakers? [05:10] danbhfive: ah, well how can i find the exact chipset? [05:10] ok I am back I am about to try this now === linux_ is now known as DareDevil [05:11] why is there some stupid assholes charging 40$ or 60$ for some wine rippoff to play your games? has anyone built a open source supper for games in wine yet? [05:11] has anyone here had success runnning Miro? [05:12] I am running 7.10 [05:12] lowlux - ? you talking about cedega? [05:12] psilo-: well, its an Ralink chipset [05:12] crossover theat progam [05:12] lowlux - my understanding is that wine is just an attempt at a basic API layer... [05:12] It does not seem to be working [05:12] danbhfive: but don't i need a specific driver? [05:12] psilo-: i would just figure out how other ralink cards are worked, and see if you can get it working that way [05:12] cedega and crossover and those others try to emulate that and more... ie; so Direct X will work fully and whatnot. [05:13] you have to pay for it.. [05:13] some people dont want to code for free... [05:13] you cant fault them for wanting to put food on the table. [05:13] thats not the linux way of doing things.. [05:13] oh really? === SVI is now known as DBO [05:13] So RedHat and SuSE shouldn't make money? [05:13] lowlux - I think you have a bit of a misperception about "the linux way of doing things" [05:14] they ofer there stuff for free. [05:14] danbhfive: thanks, maybe ill give that shot [05:14] charge you out of the ass for the cds. [05:14] lowlux - yet they seem to be public companies that have an income... how is this possible? [05:14] keppi: it seems not to be working on the bottom of the FF it says trying to connect to 192.169.0.1 (D-Link sec router) [05:14] clearly this isn't the "linux" way! [05:14] psilo-: have you tested it? [05:14] support... just like ubuntu [05:15] danbhfive: nope, not sure how to do that [05:15] I have had ubuntu 8.04 installed for about two weeks. I want to watch a DVD, I insert the DVD and Totem Movie play starts up and then gives me this error: "Could Not Read From Source" [05:15] any ideas ? [05:15] lowlux - thats part of it. They do charge for RHAS and ES though. [05:15] spiritssight: ok, which is your first and which is your second? Are you able to ping both routers? [05:15] danbhfive: when i pull up ifconfig it doesn't show up though [05:15] psilo-: plug it in, and try to use it to connect to the internet, use commands like iwconfig, and see if it shows up [05:15] lowlux - the "linux" way which I think you mean is the "open source" way doesn't necessarily mean you give your code away for free... [05:15] psilo-: guess it doesnt then [05:15] sam ... how good is the scratches on the dvd? [05:16] danbhfive: it doesn't show up under iwconfig either [05:16] lowlux - if you want RHAS for free they will give you the source CDs... most people choose CentOS for this reason because those are a pain to work with. [05:16] dvd is fine [05:16] no scrathces [05:16] ok [05:16] How do I view STDOUT / STDERR on startup? The Ubuntu splashscreen blocks all this but I want to debug a problem [05:16] ok my first is a Linksys WRT54GS v3 and the sec is a D-Link 2310 I am able to connect right now to the Linksys as I am on the internet with this one [05:16] i never used redhat..

[05:17] think there interface is ulgy like a carttoon or somehting [05:17] try it with mplayer smm289 [05:17] ubuntu is ulgy too [05:17] yep, I tried mplayer also, but all that does is run forever but with no video display, I have to actually kill the proccess or it will sit there forever [05:17] spiritssight: from a workstation behind the second (d-link) router are you able to ping the first (linksys) router? [05:17] I need some serious net help, trying to config a USB net adapter via cli, it was working fine a while ago, moved the pc to a diff network and they cant connect, can someone help me please? [05:17] lowlux - really? I use CLI mainly... don't theme my xfce away from the generic install when I do rarely use it. [05:17] lowlux: mindrape: can you guys take it to offtopic? this channel is for support [05:18] 20 question marks above my head... to hear mplayer misbehave [05:18] any idea on how to get the shared folder for vbox on ubuntu desktop?

[05:20] jmichels1n: have you looked at the man page for iwconfig? [05:20] use -f option in apt-get Garibaldi .. [05:20] Garibaldi: How are you trying to install it? [05:20] Flannel: apt-get install kile [05:20] No. don't use -f [05:21] what do i use to protect the folder?

Because chown and chmod can make it so just you can get to it. [05:21] lowlux: "chmod 700 porn" [05:21] <`Matir> Does anyone know what normal temperatures for a hard drive are? Or rather, what temperatures I should try to keep it at? [05:22] Garibaldi: Alright. pastebin your sources.list (/etc/apt/sources.list) [05:22] jmichels1n: I have had success using iwconfig adapter then whtever options I need to connect, and just ignore the rest [05:22] hide it as well.. [05:22] lowlux: only you will be able to access it when logged in as lowlux [05:22] lowlux - you should probably consider getting an external drive... thats much easier to hide from your parents. :) [05:22] danbhfive: it shows the ssid there correct but no IP [05:22] i seem to can't get a 2ed hard drive to work on ubuntu.. [05:22] keppi - technically if his dad is an admin he can gksudo a filesystem browser like thunar and find him out... [05:23] `Matir, mine runnin at 41C which is high from the hitachi data sheet.. but it runs fine [05:23] I guess he could remove his parents from the sudoers file... [05:23] well, I guess that's true [05:23] keppi: that just links it to the first user. any livecd can side step that [05:23] Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/44441/ [05:24] <`Matir> tj83, ahh... I may need to cool mine down... got one up to 44 [05:24] I'd say the easiest is to get an external drive. 2nd best would be to create a 2nd partition and dont automount it and encrypt it. 3rd would be to chmod and chown it and preceed it with a . [05:24] trying to hide porn is prolly a bad idea anyways. The numbers won't add up and parents will wonder where all the missing space is? [05:25] $HOME/.hidden_pr0n [05:25] `Matir, search for the data sheet on your model.. but i have seen mine as high as 48C but it keeps going. [05:26] Flannel: anything look wrong? [05:26] <`Matir> tj83, k, thx [05:26] Garibaldi: hmm, alright. So, that all looks normal. What we're going to do is try and install that package (kdelibs4c2a) and then see what error it gives, [05:26] anyone got a fast idea how to make a txt file out of a directory content ? [05:26] well a new DVD is in and its spinning and not doing anything [05:26] hitman1985: ls? [05:26] hitman1985: or tar [05:26] Garibaldi: if it continues to give us *that* errr ("but it is not going to be instaled" we go one layer deeper, eventually we'll get an actual error. Not a "something is wrong!" but an actual description of whats happening. [05:27] danbhfive, a folder , not an archive [05:27] nope its playing but it sounds like my computer is possesed and there is no video [05:27] sounds like a dial-up modem has taken over my speakers [05:27] Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/44442/ [05:27] Garibaldi: perfect [05:28] Garibaldi: and, what does `apt-cache policy kdelibs4c2a` give? [05:28] danbhfive, i got a folder full of files like rar files, and some avi files and mp3 as well, but i dont want to type all of it one by one, so i thought there was a little application / script what just puts that info in a txt file or close to txt [05:28] hitman1985: im not sure what you are trying to do, but ls and tar both work on folders. ls will list the filenames of the folder contents, and tar has the ability to turn them into a single file [05:28] Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/44443/ [05:28] hi, i just got rokr8 mobile phone, any body know how to sync data to my ubuntu pc? [05:29] danbhfive, what is ls exactly ? [05:29] try and play a dvd, my speakers sound like a dial-up connection and ther eis no video [05:29] hitman1985: are you working from the command line? [05:29] tried using Mplayer [05:29] hi ... is there any java specific room here in IRC ? [05:29] Garibaldi: alright, there's our problem. You've enabled hardy-backports, and that's whats causing the issue. It's not in your sources.list, check to see if you have any files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and if they have hardy sources in them. [05:30] danbhfive, not to advanced with ubuntu yet, so i run regular gnome or gui i guess thats what you call that ? [05:30] Flannel: ah, ok, I have a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/unison.list [05:30] (don't know what that might be) [05:30] hitman1985, cd to your dir [05:30] try and play a dvd, my speakers sound like a dial-up connection and there is no video. Any ideas ? [05:31] hitman1985, and then ls > file.txt [05:31] but it does have hardy-backports in there. Should I remove that, re-run the apt-get update, and try an upgrade? [05:31] hi is there a serial console client for ubuntu? I need to connect from my serial port into another ocmputer [05:31] in solaris I just use t0p [05:31] tip** [05:31] Flannel: ^ [05:31] Garibaldi: You'll have to do some manual tweaking of packages, because that one is already the hardy version. [05:31] I see [05:32] try and play a dvd, my speakers sound like a dial-up connection and ther eis no video. Any ideas ?? [05:32] hitman1985, is that what you were trying to do? [05:32] smm289: which movie player? [05:32] Mplayer [05:32] tj83, just one sec [05:32] have you tried other players? [05:33] Totem [05:33] still no good [05:33] smm289: sudo apt-get install xine-ui [05:33] tj83, does that also work with subfolder ? [05:33] !xine-ui [05:33] what is xine and why do i want to install it [05:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about xine-ui [05:33] !xine [05:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about xine [05:33] hitman1985, i dont think so [05:33] hrmm [05:33] !libdvd [05:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about libdvd [05:33] google here I come. ty [05:34] !xine [05:34] smm289: make sure you have all the codecs installed. [05:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about xine [05:34] can i get the codecs i need from synaptic [05:34] package manager [05:34] <--nub [05:34] smm289: let me check something.. [05:34] tj83, danged :( i got a external hdd filled with stuff and need a list of all the files on there in one txt or word file :( [05:35] !gxine [05:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about gxine [05:35] hitman1985, sorry, i thought i had you fixed :( sorry, i tried it with the -R option it didnt work. [05:35] Flannel: hum, I removed the currently installed version of kdelibs-data (after removing the backport thing you pointed out) [05:35] wtf? [05:36] and now it seems to be playing nicely [05:36] is ubottu broken? [05:36] tj83, any applications that would do something similar available ? [05:36] can't find any documentation on swithing ttyS. Can someone help me out? [05:36] hitman1985, not sure.. googling [05:36] Trying to boot from kernel 2.6.24-19 and hangs at BusyBox [05:36] What's happening here? [05:37] i have an urgent issue [05:37] according to synaptic libxine1 and various are already installed [05:37] tj83, tried that :) but ill try some more thx anyways [05:37] i get an error while priniting from open office or gedit [05:37] smm289: check for libdvd* and libcss [05:38] What I found: [05:38] Most DVDs on the market today are play-protected by the Content Scrambling [05:38] System (CSS). libxine does not provide any code to descramble those DVDs, [05:38] because of legal uncertainties. If you still want to play those DVDs, you'll [05:38] need a CSS decryption library like libdvdcss that is supported by libxine. [05:38] smm289: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:38] arnell: did the ctrl+alt stuff work for you? [05:39] sory [05:39] !medibuntu > smm289 [05:39] smm289, please see my private message [05:39] smm289: yeah, that was my next suggestion, Medibuntu. [05:40] anyone know a fix for an error while printing? [05:40] nathanielneall: telepathy tells me... nothing... what is the error? [05:41] arnell: also, if the earlier kernel works for you, I don't think there is much issue with just using that [05:41] it just wont print any documents at all [05:41] no tried all the F-keys and still the same result... hanging at BusyBox. But booting 2.6.22-15 seems to boot okay. [05:41] tj83, i ll just ls every folder then put it in one :) thanks, i ll take the time to do it, at least not to much typing that way [05:41] theres not a loat to say [05:41] have a good one cya [05:41] arnell: but you are able to switch to different ttys?

[05:42] shey, a flash of what looks like a printing operation comes up properly and is immediately replace by a dialog box that reads cannot print [05:42] arnell: on bootup, tty1 and tty6 will show you what is happening. That ubuntu status bar just hides it all [05:42] when i enter sudo wvdialconf in my terminal my computer hangs but if i enter wvdialconf everything goes well...but this is not able to write to /etc/wvdial.conf...any help [05:42] multi-user Whiteboard software in ubuntu?

I'm not judging the quality of the cipher one could use, but the "password". example: i boot my PC, it asks me about the luks passphrase, which is 20 letters long and made out of any possible character my keyboard can do... This seems fairly weak. I mean a bruteforce attack could find my passphrase rather fast, dont you think ? Thus making any super high grade encryption [05:53] shey unless you upgraded, because i had some trouble activating it. [05:54] I think you can apply the same to your linux box.

[06:16] tj83: that's not my question [06:16] floam, k sory [06:16] * tj83 sorry* [06:16] nwm: You should be able to edit it and make it work (but I don't know what to add) [06:16] Flannel: okay, I sort of thoght I was looking for support. [06:16] s/thog/thoug/ [06:18] greetings all. i have some questions about 802.11 device support. i've got a Linksys WUSB54G here, and I've built and installed the rt2500 module using module-assistant. i also have wireless-tools installed (apparently; the iwconfig command is available) but when i plug in my WUSB54G, although its lights turn on and dmesg shows some infos about a USB device, i have no new networking interfaces named /dev/ethN. can anyone help? [06:19] /msg ubottu etiquette [06:20] donny, perhap you're looking at the wrong interface.. maybe it's ath0 interface? [06:21] donny, what reason do you have to believe that the interface is "ethN" ? that is not typical.. more like "wlan0" or similar, but i dont know about your adapter [06:21] whta's a good tool for keeping all your emails local / writing them locally, and having them be automatically sent whenever you connect to a network [06:21] Don_Miguel: or ra0, i've seen that common among ralink chipsets [06:21] donny even [06:21] hi, my ethernet connection is not working; the little lights in the port don't blink so i think it's not even being recognized. I'm in a Toshiba P305-S8842. Any help would be appreciated. [06:22] Dfcnvt, i will check for "/dev/ath*" tj83: in my past experience, it was eth1 after my wired nic eth0 (it was wlan0 on mac os x 10.3 though) [06:22] Daisuke_Ido, i'll check all of those. still i assumed the iwconfig command would know which devices to examine [06:23] donny, it's not on /dev directory.. only iwconfig or ifconfig would show the interface for that.. [06:23] amt2 if you dont get a link light.. its likely a bad cable or a crossover cable type [06:23] oh right, they don't have fs nodes in /dev anymore [06:23] checking for mysql include path... configure: error: not found, please install the MySQL headers.. I have MySQL 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.1 installed [06:23] someone can tell me what error is that thank you [06:23] vnix: where did you install it from? [06:23] just type iwconfig and find which one is used. [06:23] Hi! i am looking for a way to find out if i can run Spore on my UBuntu computer, will someone please help me figure this out, or point me to a directory assistance table? [06:23] tj83, but evyerhting works when i'm on windows, and the lights do blink there.... i don't think it's the hardware... [06:24] Orchid`: write to the company and ask for a linux version [06:24] Daisuke_Ido: from src [06:24] Orchid`: if that fails, go to #winehq [06:24] vnix: why? [06:24] Daisuke_Ido: PVPGN [06:24] vnix: you're configuring to build some application. it wants to include MySQL headers when compiling. it hasn't found them in the obvious locatinos. you can provide it on the command line. please see ./configure --help for more info [06:24] spore? [06:25] amt2 i will try to help.. i only have a few moments /join #SeaPhor [06:25] Daisuke_Ido: i have WINE, however when i try to find otu if i can mount my cd-rw drive it says htere is no media in the drive, and thus cannot mount it. [06:25] vnix: probably mysql5-dev [06:25] but i won't swear to it [06:25] i am using ./configure --with-mysql -prefix=ASDASA [06:25] I try to access to my sql and it's fine.. I can create database and query ^^ [06:26] vnix: IIRC, the --prefix= option has to do with installation directories (can anyone else confirm or reject this?) [06:26] Orchid`: Spore Creature Creator? [06:26] Hi, does anyone know of a sidebar app "ala" Windows Vista? Thanks [06:26] how can I tell how big a directory is on the command line? [06:26] danbhfive: it jsut came out in my area last night. [06:27] Orchid`: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=7588 [06:27] Orchid, you can make a images of it.... dd -if=/mnt/cdrom0 -of=/img/Spore.img [06:27] vnix, connecting to your database server proves that your database server is running, and your command-line client works properly. if, however, you want to *compile* source code that incorporates mysql header files, you'll probably need to install mysql-server-whatever-devel package [06:27] for a mount.... [06:27] nwm: C:\wubildr.mbr="Ubuntu" [06:27] dumbdum, you mean like widgets? there's a kubuntu kde4 remix CD that I know of [06:27] danbhfive: probably SPORE. not the creature creator, since he asked about spore, not the creature creator, and again, winehq.org or #winehq [06:27] so donny what I should do now? change mysql? [06:28] doobie doobie doo [06:28] vnix: no, install the dev packages like i told you. [06:28] erm.. can you please guide me thanks [06:28] thanks guys, bad night tonight forgot its not on my autojoin... [06:28] thank you for th epatience! really. [06:28] is there a way to enable wine run prograqms to access the web? [06:29] what is a good dvd player [06:29] vlc [06:29] mplayer! [06:29] veyne, have you tried vbox? [06:29] totsm [06:29] vnix: best start is to: sudo apt-get install libmysql++-dev [06:30] thanks [06:30] totem sorry [06:30] then try to configure again [06:30] does anybody know how to tell how big a directory is in mb throught the command line? [06:30] what other special codecs and stuff do i need besides w32codecs and the libcss [06:30] no sir, what does vbox do? [06:30] Daisuke do I need to shutdown mysql first? === blan_ is now known as blan [06:31] vnix: nah [06:31] its virtualbox, you can install windows xp, or vista on it, even mac i think. [06:31] alright installing [06:31] Looking for the name of the onscreen keyboard for use with tablets, anyone ? [06:31] i'm having some problems with nat when using bridging, could anyone lend a hand? [06:31] Theeb: good luck forwarding any ports to it. why not help with his actual question? [06:31] done... so what is the next step? daisuke? [06:31] Hi Venger, yes like little apps that run on a sidebar to do various tasks. Like widgets [06:32] vnix: try ./configure again [06:32] configure not found now [06:32] veyne: programs run under wine should be able to access the net just like any other program [06:32] vnix: are you in the right directory? [06:32] erm hold on [06:32] vnix: you could try the libmysqlclient15-dev package if your'e using mysql 1.5 [06:33] oh thanks if work [06:33] it work... [06:33] dataspy: try ls -lh [06:33] vnix :) [06:33] hello [06:33] how to turn on/off ircd-hybrid? [06:33] there is one config warning from config.status. I can just ignore it right? [06:34] it's not error [06:34] dataspy: in the parent directory...if you want to be more specific, you could do ls -lh | grep [06:34] depending on the warning [06:34] WARNING: 'Makefile.in' seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting [06:35] vnix, you will have to ask the developers of the software you are building :) [06:35] i see thanks^^ [06:35] hi there, how do i add pci=assign-busses to my boot options ? [06:35] vnix: coming from the po subdir? [06:35] yeha, i had no problen runnin gSL offa my old windows backup and it ran like a dream.. [06:36] I am sorry dres I don understand >< [06:36] anyone good with PVPGN here? [06:36] emulates battle.net? [06:36] vnix, add datarootdir = @datarootdir@ to the Makefile.in will probably fix that warning [06:37] okie i'll try [06:37] * Daisuke_Ido is trying to figure out why it needs to be built from source [06:37] Kurt is okie to add it to the first line? [06:38] before you compile it, is there something wrong with the version in the repos? [06:39] i just download from the offcial site [06:39] sam [06:39] not using SVN [06:39] hi there, ubuntu cannot read my sd card... i don't know how to add pci=assign-busses to my boot options ! [06:39] vnix, you could see if it's already in the ubuntu repository and install it without having to compile it from source code [06:39] * Daisuke_Ido blinks [06:40] !info pvpgn [06:40] ya but it's 1.8.1 [06:40] pvpgn (source: pvpgn): Gaming server that emulates Battle.net(R). In component universe, is optional. Version 1.8.1-1 (hardy), package size 744 kB, installed size 2260 kB [06:40] Is memtest in intrepid patched from the on http://memtest.org/? [06:40] vnix, but i had assumed you already explored that possibility [06:40] vnix, ah, ok then [06:40] is okie... Maybe i try to update it and see how it goes [06:40] If there's any problem can I find you again? [06:40] vnix, should be fine there. [06:41] HeMan: ask in #ubuntu+1 for intrepid help [06:42] vnix, there's usually a section in Makefile.in for system configuration settings which is where it would ideally go, but it shouldn't actually matter if you put it at the top [06:42] Daisuke_Ido: ah! thanks [06:43] Alright thanks Kurt I have bypass the warning^^ [06:43] vnix: congrats :) what's the package if I may ask? [06:44] the problem: I'm locked out of my system because / is full, I've now booted into safe mode and was trying to move stuff to my home directory so that / has more space and I can boot back into my comp. What can I delete without messing up my system? Can I delete /var , it seems like a really big dir ? [06:44] vbhide: in terminal type gksudo /boot/grub/menu.lst then add that to end of this line kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic root=UUID=0f094f73-619c-40ca-b941-07b4e479838f ro splash quiet [06:45] I actually don't care about messing up my system I just want to get some data off of it [06:45] dataspy: if you have things in /tmp/ they can almost certainly go safely [06:45] i can not play any of my raideo on vlc... puse auideo sucks [06:45] kurt: thanks, I'll try that :) [06:46] Kurt when I use "make" then it's compiling right? [06:46] dataspy: things in /var can probably go as well, but I'd look at the subdirectories (common ones like /var/mail are important to many people even if not system important) [06:46] vnix_, yes [06:46] i simply can't figure out y my sd card is not working! [06:47] how I specify which directory I want the compile files go to? [06:47] make /dev0 ? [06:48] kurt: ok, I delete temp but I still have no room in / , is there anything else I can possibly delete, possibly in /var === jacob_ is now known as Guest9637 [06:50] vnix, i believe you're thinking of the --prefix= option of the configuration script. then use "make install" to install the software you've built. [06:50] i am getting a badsig error [06:50] vnix, no, arguments to make are targets [06:50] when trying to update [06:50] good god, what the hell are you doing? don't delete your root! [06:50] okie [06:50] vnix, usually you would do something like ./configure, make, make install [06:50] hardy-updates will not update because of that error [06:51] what repo do i get frostwire from? [06:51] don't listen to him. do it. delete your root. no one needs warned against this. a legitimate warning would be "that will erase your root." but that wasn't applicable. [06:51] !frostwire [06:51] frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire. For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire [06:51] cow_undip [06:51] Does any one know where I can get the dirver for the GUI ndiswrapper it ask for a inf (the driver is for "0b:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01)" ?? [06:52] dataspy: if you don't care about possibly losing personal info (like if you have mail in /var/mail), then you can delete stuff in /var/ without affecting your system [06:52] or is there a easer way to install this [06:52] spiritssight, i think you have to download that from microsoft's website [06:52] spiritssight, check the ndiswrapper website, i think it's http://ndiswrapper.sf.net/ [06:53] /usr/bin/install -c -d -m 755 //Desktop/pvpgn-1.8.3/build/sbin <- This one I get. Something wrong with the directory when i using "make install" [06:53] kurt: thanks for the help!!! [06:53] oh [06:53] the //desktop [06:53] tpg victoria, i feel sorry for you smmagic. [06:54] I feel sorry for myself [06:54] you been dropping out the last few days? [06:54] dumb squid proxies [06:54] mine has been shocking [06:54] Yeap [06:54] i have a pretty basic question [06:54] Im bannde from sites I've never been to [06:54] which one is better? limewire or frostwire? [06:54] but ive got an ipv6 entry in my ifconfig, and i cant remove it. === Dedicated is now known as dedi_away [06:54] Kartagis, It doesn't make a differece. [06:54] they both use gnutella dont they? [06:54] Indeed [06:55] now, back to removing my entry. [06:55] i tried ifconfig delete ipv6-he [06:55] which is what its called apparently. [06:55] but it says 'unknown host' [06:58] :< [06:58] come on === dedi_away is now known as Dedi [07:02] why the hell would ld be telling me cannot find -lXmu when i have libXmu.so.6 in /usr/lib and ldconfig -p confirms that it's there and 'findable' [07:02] it seems im the only one here, but sorry i have no idea [07:03] heh, that's okay [07:04] Maybe it's not only a file is actually there in your /usr/lib directory.. but a program that can't do the job correctly by using your libXmu.so.6 file... [07:05] the** [07:05] i am sorry to ask again, but this is really bugging me. [07:05] how do i remove an entry from my ifconfig. [07:05] im new and stupid, ill admit that. [07:06] ok, if you want your interface disappear, then reach your hand in the computer case and pull out the network interface card.. and try ifconfig command... [07:06] obsidieth: ifconfig should only report things that are actually *there*, so what do you mean by remove [07:07] well [07:07] ive got an ipv4in6 somethinf something [07:07] ipv6 tunnel i guess [07:07] but i want to remove it and add a different one [07:07] maybe you don't understand what's ipv4 & ipv6 means in this era? [07:07] they work anyway for your networking.. [07:08] does anyone know how to get Japanese text support on english Wine?

[07:14] AnAnt:i don't know...to what number should i change ? [07:14] how do i change group, owner and permission of files in a folder?

[07:21] Flannel: i have hardy proposed [07:21] Ergo^: Turn it off [07:22] agento: dunno then [07:22] what's "hardy-proposed" for? [07:22] rsc_: testing packages before they're stable enough to be put into -updates [07:22] rsc_: Its not fit for the general public, lots of breakages with versioning and stuff. [07:22] okay [07:23] AnAnt: well the sim does work though, cos I tested it on my PC and Mac [07:23] AnAnt: I even turned off the pin [07:23] howto empty trash [07:23] thuto: yes, but I want to make sure that /dev/ttyS0 is your sim [07:24] thuto: that's the point [07:24] Flannel: i did, reloaded packages in synaptic, but didnt have any success [07:24] Is there any one that knows about wireless here? I am not able to go on wireless with my system or see any wireless network in my area when I know there is some [07:25] Ergo^: Do you already have 2.5.2-2ubuntu5 installed? apt-cache policy python2.5 [07:25] AnAnt: oh okay, let me try this out, i will get back to you then, thanks.. [07:25] Installed: 2.5.2-2ubuntu5 [07:25] is it possible to manually empty the trash [07:25] Ergo^: right, so we're going to have to force that to downgrade.

[07:26] dub: yeah [07:26] thuto: yes, that's what I want to try: ati [07:27] Flannel, thanks [07:27] Ergo^: Either that machine didn't have -proposed enabled, or the new version was added to proposed. Either is likely. [07:27] :'( [07:27] Flannel: so what do i do now ? [07:28] Ergo^: We force it to downgrade. Go ahead and begin editing /etc/apt/preferences [07:28] hello people i was wondering if someone could help me find a app to stream my desktop with [07:28] me too! [07:28] Flannel: ok, i have pico ready [07:29] Did this server had a french channel please ? [07:29] Ergo^: you mean nano, but sure. Add this to that file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/44460/ [07:30] !fr | MzL [07:30] MzL: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr [07:30] Flannel: pico ;-) [07:30] thank u :) [07:30] ah nano [07:30] Ergo^: Unless you compiled it yourself, you're using nano. [07:30] skinnymg1, you want to remote desktop? click on System/Preferences/Remote Desktop... [07:30] heh.. right you are [07:31] how do i increase my swap partition's size? [07:31] no i want to stream my desktop to show what i am doing [07:31] !swap | Kartagis [07:31] Kartagis: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [07:31] Question, if you use swap on your system, would it work without a ram? I wouldn't think so.. [07:32] Dfcnvt: no [07:32] Dfcnvt: you can have a system without SWAP, you can't have a system without RAM [07:32] Flannel: ok i have that saved, what now ? [07:32] suppose you have 256 megabytes.. with a swap of 2 gigabytes.. would that help any? [07:32] 256 of ram..* [07:33] Ergo^: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [07:33] Dfcnvt: That'd be a bit of overkill on swap space. You probably want about 512MB of swap. [07:33] . [07:34] Flannel: ok, its done [07:34] Ergo^: now you should be able to install python-dev [07:34] is it possible to see the log of the "recovery mode" because i saw a "[Fail]" and i couldnt read which package, screen was moving fast. i need to fix that package but i dont know what package is. [07:34] Ergo^: also, delete the stuff we added to /etc/apt/preferences, we don't need/want that anymore, now that its done its job [07:34] Flannel: im not, is it possible polish servers are put of sync somehow ? [07:35] . [07:35] Ergo^: You're not why? What error? [07:35] hi, does anybody know where my epiphany downloads disappear to? [07:35] Flannel: same error, but apt cache says that i have a "candidate" pinned, but installed is still newer wersion [07:36] Who can help me solve the problem？:-/ [07:36] Please.....! [07:37] Ergo^: do you still have proposed enabled? Pstebin the output of apt-cache policy python2.5 [07:37] Flannel> in that FAQ, count is 512. if i make it 1024mb, will count be still 512? [07:37] Clarence, you hasn't stated what problem you're having [07:38] I was said! [07:38] Kartagis: no, itd be 1024, that page explains it on the next line [07:38] Flannel: no i dont have proposed enabled.... [07:38] Flannel: http://paste2.org/p/71258 [07:39] well, refresh my mind [07:39] I said how Ubuntu 8.04 on the use of additional special effects？ [07:39] Ergo^: huh. Ok, lets try this. open up your preferences again, change it from 4* to 4.1, and change the pin priority to 1002 [07:40] clarence: What makes you think you're not already? [07:40] clarence: go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance, select visual effects tab, and choose extra [07:40] Flannel: the same result [07:40] info [07:40] hi,who knows ubuntu liveusb ? [07:40] oh... you mean compiz? [07:40] what is exit status 134? [07:40] with regards to apt-get [07:41] m [07:41] Ergo^: pastebin sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && apt-cache policy python2.5 [07:41] clarence: if you want more customization, run a terminal and type in sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [07:41] people can't dist-upgrade to intrepid currently, can they? [07:41] I thought gcc was broken [07:42] Where do core dumps go ? [07:42] Kurt: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid questions, thanks [07:42] Flannel: http://paste2.org/p/71259 [07:42] who knows ubuntu liveusb? [07:42] Flannel: I'm not really asking a question, merely commenting on the dist-upgrade if it was to intrepid :) [07:43] hey [07:43] Kurt: oh, dist-upgrade isn't used in normal operation to switch versions. [07:43] anyone got wireless working for ubuntu? [07:43] Mercury-: yup [07:43] Ergo^: Hmm, and can you pastebin your preferences file? Maybe I did something wrong. [07:43] apparently ubuntu is unable to locate my wireless components [07:44] Mercury-: try System->Administration->Hardware drivers [07:44] Mercury-: what's your card type? [07:44] Flannel: http://paste2.org/p/71261 [07:44] ok, I give it a try [07:44] 02:04.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection (rev 05) [07:44] Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Compaq nw8240/nx8220 [07:44] Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 22 [07:44] Memory at d0000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] [07:44] Capabilities: [07:44] Mercury-: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:45] does anyone know how to get Japanese text working in Wine? I have the MS fonts installed but they don't work [07:45] loll [07:45] ffs [07:45] ouch [07:45] sigh, tis not my day [07:45] Mercury- all good.. we've all done it atleast once :P [07:45] Hello all. I've asked this in Vbox too, but that room is silent tonight. Where else can I look to get Shared Folders to work in VirtualBox (not OSE) with Guest Additions added (USB works already) .. I have added chmod 777 to the directories I would like th loan out, but still nothing .. [07:45] :) [07:45] Clarence, apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager --- I can't remember the last time that have the whole packages for it.. [07:46] "AnAnt, - no proprietary drivers are in use on this system" [07:46] Mercury-: nevermind, you don't need it with your card [07:47] when you're done with it, check in System/Preferences/Advanced Desktop Effects.. for the special effect to play with... [07:47] Mercury-: what does iwconfig give you ? please paste the output in private chat [07:47] Mercury-: this card works for me with WPA2/PSK and wpa_supplicant [07:47] does anyone know how to get Japanese text working in Wine? I have the MS fonts installed but they don't work [07:47] iamas, didn't you apt-get the japaneses fonts? [07:48] I did [07:48] there were 2 that I couldn't get off the repositories [07:48] Mercury-: aha, so your wifi card is recognized ! [07:48] but other than that I followed the instructions [07:48] so, did it show the japanese fonts on the window side? [07:48] vonderful! [07:48] I'm sorry what do you mean? [07:48] Mercury-: what's your problem then ? [07:49] from where does ubuntu take the translation work [07:49] i can't see my home wlan [07:49] Evening all... I'm trying to get my USB headset to work... but getting issues [07:49] I have some translated stuff [07:49] for gnome [07:49] Mercury-: that's wierd, are you sure that the rf switch is on ? [07:49] where I can upload them for review [07:49] and acceptance [07:49] Mercury-: yes, it's off !!! [07:50] can't turn on wireless components physically :s [07:50] Mercury-: eth1 radio off [07:50] nirupama: Its done through Rosetta I believe. Try asking your LoCo team [07:50] any body language team here [07:50] Mercury-: ?! [07:50] Flannel, any id or channel [07:50] anant - can't turn on wireless components physically :s [07:50] Mercury-: why's that ? HP laptops have a switch [07:50] nirupama: What language? [07:50] through which io can communicater [07:50] yeah i know, it's just not responding [07:50] nirupama: and/or country [07:50] ive got dualboot [07:51] works fine in winblowz so it is indeed still functional [07:51] Flannel: is everything set up right ? [07:51] Flannel, 18 indian languages [07:51] nirupama: Try #ubuntu-in [07:51] Mercury-: well, it works fine with me, I got 2 HP lappies [07:51] I installed the MS fonts, rebuilt my cache, and changed the order as suggested [07:52] Mercury-: how about looking at dmesg output when you press the switch ? [07:52] Ergo^: As far as I can see... it's gotta be something wrong with the version match thing. Since it shouldn't be giving that priority to the other versions. [07:52] good idea [07:52] Mercury-: again paste the last few lines in private chat [07:52] I have very limited functionality in MS Word but system menus are still garbled [07:52] Flannel: so is there any path i can follow to fix tjhat ? i kinda need that package :] [07:52] Anyone knows where do core dumps go ? [07:53] I keep getting a warning, whenever I try to test the device, about it not being available for use [07:53] hello can anyone help me i have a problem with firefox and youtube [07:53] when i got to play a video on firefox [07:53] it will play then pause every 2seconds even if the vid is loaded fully [07:53] iamas, if you're running Ubuntu, click on System -> Administration -> Languages Support [07:54] k [07:54] iamas, maybe that will help to install new fonts.. i dunno.. [07:54] hi, i cant empty my trash because of a folder, how can i fix this please ? [07:54] Ergo^: I'm sure its fixable yeah, but I have no idea what the issue is. This *should* be working. Uh, while its not really on topic for that channel, you may have luck in #ubuntu-motu. Another thing you could try is setting the bigger version (-ubuntu5) to priority of -1, but with the way the matching has happend thus far (seems to ignore anything past the -? past the -ubuntu? I'm not sure) I'm wary of suggesting that. [07:54] I have Japanese support enabled [07:55] it works fine in Ubuntu [07:55] but Wine is still messed up [07:55] uggg anyone got a solution to ubuntu unability to cauto connect to wpa2 at startup? annoying! === desti_T2 is now known as desti [07:55] oin #asterisk === eric is now known as talntid [07:55] Ergo^: the other solution is to wait until that package moves into -updates, which will happen at some point soon. But that's obviously not really a solution. [07:56] kindofabuzz: is wpa2 supported any way? In my experience I stick with wpa-psk. [07:56] hello [07:56] could someone please tell me how to save the alsa mixer sound settings so i dont have to keep putting them up every time i reboot? [07:56] jareth_, well it works, but i have to manually connect each time [07:56] hi, is there any email client similar to mail ? [07:57] and then it may take 3-4 tries [07:57] Flannel: if i commented out the preferences file and do apt-get upgrade will it return to previous state ? [07:57] kindofabuzz: ic, that's odd. no idea what could be the cause of that. [07:57] Ergo^: Uh, define previous state? [07:57] Flannel: before i got package pinned [07:57] Ergo^: with the default package priorities? Yeah. [07:57] jareth_, is wpa-psk pretty secure? [07:58] Flannel: thanks for all the help [07:58] kindofabuzz: secure enough |MHO :) [07:58] has anyone here successfully installed java5, but had troubles installing java6 on ubuntu or some linux distro? [07:58] Ergo^: man apt_preferences for all you need to know (except the answer to this conundrum, of course) about pinning [08:00] ls [08:03] how do i find out what ver of ubuntu im running? [08:03] Mercury-: lsb_release -a [08:03] Flannel, thanks :) [08:05] sorry I just got the 8.04 random crash of death twice in a row, is the person I was talking to about Japanese text still here? [08:08] AnAnt: Hope you are still around, i installed and ran minicom but it would not dial anything out, the port I used is \dev\tty8 [08:11] .

[08:28] Dig it. Already downloading. === kuckurucc is now known as adac [08:29] Eccenytricity, I have learned so much. [08:29] shabda: sure.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [08:33] shabda: what does -> help -> about say ? [08:33] Dryanta: Yes, because right now you're still using the homedir, because you're logged in as you. [08:33] Eccentricity, BT3 has put it together and made a configured package know to work together with support ... Ubuntu or what doug said is true but you would have to re-invent and configure and research for ten years to get the same result as just loading the live DVD... sorry doug [08:34] shabda: after restarting ff [08:34] shabda: Hmm, that... should work. You restarted firefox, right? [08:34] anubus69 did you check lsmod for listed driver? [08:34] Flannel: http://dpaste.com/76577/, Yes :) [08:34] ? [08:34] ok grey: is it open source? [08:34] Eccentricity, * known [08:35] yuppers [08:35] beautiful! [08:35] If I installed ubuntu on a portable harddrive then set that highest in boot priority in bios, it would boot ubuntu? [08:35] hello, how do i "love songs" for last.fm in banshee? [08:35] no I didn't let me check [08:35] Brett: yes [08:36] I figured an exploitation based distro might have qualms with being open [08:36] Greyspacebt3: sure some things are pre-config'd, but there isnt anything you can do in BT that you cant do in *buntu, and you dont have to stray into slax. that was my point [08:36] Eccentricity, however, BT3 is a collection of what is out on the net all on one dvd... however, you have to google the net to use the tools on the dvd... [08:36] Would it also boot grub? As in see winxp or something too? [08:37] my keyboard layout is goin wack on every restart [08:37] if you always have problems of hardware at ubuntu try lspci as root and lsmod this shows loaded hardware state [08:37] now its on usa, but i cant get @ sumbols and stuff [08:37] doug Eccentricity.. yes,,, however, my way is quicker [08:37] lol [08:37] I think I had mucked around with path sometime, can that be a problem? Though "which firefox" gives me "/usr/bin/firefox" [08:37] Greetings! [08:37] Brett: That'd depend on your menu.lst, it doesn't do autodetection at boot or anything. [08:37] I just saw the @ symbol [08:37] c0olingFir3, in my experience, music players typically don't play nice with features like that of last.fm [08:37] How do get my Ubuntu to see and use my Nvidia "BFG Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 Video card" as I am sick of 800 x 600 resolution. === Murder is now known as Sexy_guy [08:38] if you want to check the hardware working with ubuntu boot the pc always first with a LIVE CD of wanted ubuntu/xubuntu version [08:38] Evening everyone [08:38] Brett, im on my laptop now:p [08:38] Oh I thought it might [08:38] Oh! I ma using Chatzilla client, so might be closing FF did not close it off completely, let me log off from here, and try. :) [08:38] Flannel> when I did sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/1024Mb.swap bs=1M count=512 it made a file which is 512mb large. should I have did count=1024? [08:38] Kartagis: yes. [08:38] if this works you can setup it perfectly if none try a older ubuntu live cd [08:38] I just upgraded my ATI graphics card. I was using fglxrx just fine before. I took the old card out of the epci slot in this machine, and put the new one into the same slot [08:38] linuxhelp what should I be seeing in lsmod ? [08:38] nice to know its quicker, greyspace, but the truth is, I'm also interested in this stuff for building my own systems. [08:38] and now ubuntu's hardware drivers thing doesn't offer me the ati drivers [08:39] can anyone suggest how to fix this? [08:39] Chunky_Ks: what model are you using now? [08:39] Greyspacebt3: do you have the restricted nvidia drivers installed? [08:39] is there problem with using "sudo bash" instead "sudo -i", "sudo bash" keeps my aliases? [08:39] How hard would it be to make ubuntu look like Linux? [08:39] doug brand new install [08:39] We like windows [08:39] Brett: Ubuntu is Linux [08:39] crdlb: 4850 [08:39] Er [08:39] look for your ethernet chipset card listed like "nvidia ethernet XXX" or other name [08:39] doug there is a list of restricted drivers which one [08:39] was a 2400xt before [08:40] I meant windows, not Linux [08:40] doug,,, I'll search and ask for conformation here brb [08:40] according to randall munroe, ubuntu is vista with some custom themes. [08:40] anubus69 have a closer look at ubuntuusers.de / wiki [08:41] Greyspacebt3: either nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-new. one of those should work for you [08:41] is there problem with using "sudo bash" instead "sudo -i", "sudo bash"? [08:41] No, that does not fix the problem. :( [08:41] Brett: Ah, its sort of easy, depending on how much you want it to look like it. There are themes and stuff out there you can use. [08:41] Ubuntu could kick windows over Steve jobs house [08:41] Greyspacebt3: then in your xorg.conf, you need to set your device to use the driver, 'nvidia' [08:41] seriously guys, a command line utility to browse wireless networks, and connect to mine. Anyone know one? [08:41] Linux help: I don't see it? I have Intel 5100, but I'm also running Ubuntu in VMware along with fedora, and Fedora is working, but ubuntu isn't [08:41] @ALL how likes Windows they should try ICEWM for replacement with XP Style [08:41] Greyspacebt3: you might also want to install, nvidia-settings, and use that to config your card once X is using the nvidia driver [08:42] Flannel I just need it to look convincing to a teacher walking by [08:42] doug I have Nvidia-glx-new-envy installed [08:42] at our school we have changed ALL PCs to Ubuntu [08:42] eccentricity: iwlist is the most basic [08:42] doug and nvidia-settings [08:42] Brett: yeah, that should be easy. [08:42] eccentricity: see also, kismet [08:42] Chunky_Ks: I don't think ubuntu's fglrx is new enough [08:43] Ubuntu is now a very good replacement for XP+Vista... i think.. [08:43] That's good, because I love ubuntu overall but I want to get away with it at schol [08:43] doug then in your xorg.conf, you need to set your device to use the driver, 'nvidia',,, <<<< thats what is missing [08:43] I'd rather my linux not be a replacement for windows or mac, to be honest === Omar1 is now known as Omar87 [08:43] Linuxhelp, I have all 3 on my desktop [08:43] have all a close look at the new Netbooks Asus EEE 1000H with ubuntu [08:44] crdlb: gyuh [08:44] I have unstable/experimental/canonical repos enabled [08:44] they are very fast and runs over 10 hours without power [08:44] is there problem with using "sudo bash" instead "sudo -i", "sudo bash"? [08:44] How wud u her it on the see?

[08:45] NVU and Kompozer didn't work easy and don't like PHP Sites.. [08:45] Greyspacebt3: *back it up first before editing it* [08:45] zetheroo: wget -c [08:45] Dell also offers NEW Inspirion Ubuntu PCs [08:46] Chunky_Ks: what is that? [08:46] Greyspacebt3: after you install that stuff and change that line, youll need to restart X with ctrl-alt-backspace. if X doesnt startup right, cp the old config back, let us know what happened [08:46] it continues a stopped download [08:46] you can add 8GB RAM for vmware use.. [08:46] Eccentricity, I have to say this about that: [08:46] The reason that I recommend BT3 is because there is not a Hard Drive Install therefore if you get caught doing something wrong you actually have no tracking or traces... or proof... [08:46] but if you do a hard drive install of these applications they cashe the stuff that you wouldn't want there if you were sitting in court... enoff said... [08:47] zetheroo: Don't use "Ubuntu Ultimate" [08:47] Flannel: why? [08:47] Thank you doug [08:47] zetheroo: It's a hackjob and dangerous. === sean is now known as Guest56966 [08:47] whats Ubuntu ultimate? [08:47] anyone know anything about the MP-BIOS: Timer not connected.... error? [08:47] Flannel: really? ... I have seen numerous people use it and they love it .... [08:47] zetheroo: and on top of it being horrible quality, we don't support it. [08:47] a new version? [08:47] linuxhelp: no [08:48] zetheroo: There's nothing it offers that isn't in the official repos [08:48] linuxhelp: it is an unsupported derivative [08:48] zetheroo: or, installable through non-horrible methods. [08:48] Flannel: well it seems to come with a lot more ... [08:48] !worksforme | zetheroo [08:48] zetheroo: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [08:48] ok thanks i will read about it [08:48] linuxhelp: Don't waste your time [08:48] ok :-) [08:48] * crdlb agrees [08:48] Greyspacebt3: yep. and there's an easy fix for not getting in trouble for anything...practice on your own systems. vm's are nice to mess with [08:49] anyone? [08:49] doug,, you won't give up will you... lol [08:49] Flannel: yes ... but Ultimate comes with a lot more built in with it ... I wish Ubuntu had more themes and extras built in ... [08:49] zetheroo: as for your original question, many, many things offer resuming downloads. [08:49] doug i am the same... [08:49] lol [08:50] Greyspacebt3: nope. i dont like slax, i do like ubuntu, and i always practice safe auditing :p [08:50] question to all, i setup a laptup with Luks encryption and without LVM (alternate setup) how can i made i run with only one luks password question? [08:50] doug I don't want to prove a point with you, I just want to help him make up his own mind with some extra knowhow [08:50] how can I get Windows to read EXT3 [08:50] I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop edition on an Acer 5920. Earlier, I shut it down and went away and when I came back a few minutes later, it was on, with a blank screen and a blinking cursor. It turned off when I pressed the power button. Now when I turn it on, it's not booting. It turns on and stops at the blank screen with the blinking cursor and does not proceed further. Right now I'm using the Live CD [08:50] for every mounted partition i must set password at boot [08:50] zetheroo: Well, you're free to do whatever you want, but if you use ultimate edition, you'll get zero support through any Ubuntu resources. It's got bad things going on, and doesn't offer you anything you can't do with an official Ubuntu install. [08:51] explore3.exe [08:51] anyone know how i can update google earth to 4.3 [08:51] Flannel: thanks [08:51] ? [08:51] Flannel: I would like to understand what those bad things are ... otherwise I am just left in the dark [08:51] Laptops have much problems with ACPI of 8.04 many bugs there try 7.10 [08:51] ext2ifs [08:52] i have 7.10 at all thinkpads here.. [08:52] but...why would you want to look at ext3 from windows? [08:52] zetheroo: Bad configuration choices, it uses automatix, I... don't have a list at hand or anything. [08:52] just remove windows....more space for linux === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [08:52] yay [08:52] doug your way ahead of us .. we want to see it work ... and then figure it out.. just the way you did as you said that you have used Slax and had a overview first.. later he or I will choose your way... lol [08:52] It had been working fine until now [08:52] 8.04 is always buggy now [08:52] :\ [08:52] How can I fix this? [08:52] zetheroo: Simply the choice of *matix should raise red flags. [08:52] same with wireless cards RT61 [08:52] ext2ifs gives you read/write access from windows [08:52] zetheroo: automatix was well known to ruin your system when updating... [08:53] woofwoofwoof, mount your hard drive and browse around and look for some specific errors [08:53] Is something wrong with the bootloader? [08:53] Flannel: can't one just get rid of it? [08:53] How can I look for errors? [08:53] zetheroo: it fucks it up badly [08:53] I'm very new to Linux [08:53] you mean it isn't even beginning a boot process? [08:53] jareth_: Please watch your language [08:53] doug, I am still confused over a video and sound.. do you think I would be able to configure a slax like system smartly on Ubuntu in seconds.. nope [08:53] check /var/log/messages [08:53] did you make a start without usplash look for errors [08:53] zetheroo: No. automatix is one of those things that does damage in ways only reinstalls can fix. [08:53] eccentricity: Yes. It's not even beginning a boot process [08:53] im fine at 8.04 but i wouldnt run it on a clients server or anything hah [08:54] Flannel: does it take over from Synaptic Package Manager? [08:54] i'm using 8.10 [08:54] !googletalk [08:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about googletalk [08:54] so far, 8.10 is excellent [08:54] zetheroo: It conflicts with regular package management. [08:54] !gtalk [08:54] gtalk is an instant messaging program from Google. Currently, Google does not have an official standalone gtalk client for Linux (though you can chat via your browser in gmail) but supports connections from third party clients such as Pidgin. See: http://www.google.com/talk/otherclients.html [08:54] Greyspacebt3: its all good. just be patient. doing things the right way will teach you 100 times more than doing them the quick way [08:54] might a problem with UUID of HDDs and the RESUME UUID inside /etc/initramfs-tools/resume [08:54] Kartagis: google talk is just jabber [08:55] * WoofWoofWoof checks those files [08:55] sometimes the UUID is not the same and the PC looks for a not listed partition (Upgrade Bug) [08:55] flannel's pretty much right, there [08:55] doug thanks I'll try to get the video card and sound card working on ubuntu [08:57] why does XMPP appear in pidgin even though I choose google talk? [08:57] Greyspacebt3: well ive gone through the crap of configuring X a million times so i can probly help with that [08:57] any hardware g33ks here? [08:57] hmm two questions: 1) is there any way i can force a switch to a tty if xorg has crashed or is there some sysrq combination that can kill x? also is it possible to unlock my LVM encrypted root, home and swap with a usb key and fall back to password if unavailble [08:57] Thanks doug, I know you mean well [08:57] lol === MikeSeth_ is now known as MikeSeth [08:57] netsurf3: ctrl-alt-backspace will restart X. ctrl-alt-F# will swith your tty [08:58] dougsko, i am refering to a locked up xorg [08:58] yes i read about usb-stick and unlock luks partition [08:58] which agp video card should i use, the 3dforce2mx-32 or the ati rage 128 32? [08:58] i prefer NVIDIA cards at all PCs [08:58] dougsko, it wount be killed if xorg is locked up and i could not switch to tty either [08:58] me too...but which would be faster/better on 8.04? [08:59] i use a 8400GS with driver of nvidia [08:59] netsurf3: if your keybaord is locked up, youll probly have to reboot [08:59] linuxhelp, hmm any linkage for the source? problem is it does need to fall back to passphrase from console just incase ;) [08:59] linuxhelp: There is no  /etc/initramfs-tools/resume [08:59] specifically, which would allow faster video playback on youtube, etc [08:59] my vid card is a 7300GS [08:59] There is a  /etc/initramfs-tools/ but there's nothing called "resume" in there [09:00] dougsko, it was perculier, mouse worked, nothing else and gkrellm output locked up aslo [09:00] *also [09:00] @ALL /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume [09:00] SORRY [09:00] Ah, okay [09:00] my wife, who uses Ubuntu 8.04 as her only OS, needs to be able to view vids and such without the choppiness [09:00] RESUME=UUID=07a29f46-5813-4716-878b-3547954816e1 [09:01] And what should I compare that with? [09:01] netsurf3, if you can ssh into a machine with a locked up x from another machine you can use chvt... but in that case I guess you could just kill x the easy way [09:01] eccentricity, hmm cant ssh into it currently [09:01] netsurf3: yeah thats weird. you might want to check your X log to see if anything stands out [09:01] shame :( [09:01] my wife use a DELL Inspiron 531 with a changed NVIDIA 8400GS works perfect with 8.04 [09:01] dougsko, probably some wine weirdness [09:01] could be [09:02] i don't have the option of the 8400GS [09:02] hehe [09:02] i was running half-life naturalselection [09:02] i plugged in two HDDs with MDADM-RAID 1 and 2GB RAM [09:02] my wife is on a legacy pc, 800mhz p3 with 512 megs of pc-133 [09:02] why socket? [09:02] hello [09:03] Is it possible to force a device name (sdc for my external USB HD) ? [09:03] ok this i use at work, with Nvidia MX400 AGP 64MB-RAM [09:03] doug I installed nvidia-glx?? and sudo gedit xorg.conf and pressed C+Alt+backspace and this message popped up [09:03] eccentricity, I can't spot any errors, but I'm very new to Linux: http://pastebin.com/m5c90155a [09:03] so the nvidia would be the better choice? [09:03] then you must use NVIDIA DRIVER 96,XX of NVIDIA Sites [09:03] linuxhelp: What do I do with the resume ID? [09:03] doug Configure low-graphics mode [09:03] do remove restricted-modules for setup nvidia [09:04] A_I_: no. the device name is based on the driver that runs the device [09:04] i am very familiar with the installation of nvidia drivers [09:04] anyone tell me how i get my onboot splash thing back? like when i used to boot while it was loading it would say welcome to blah and u could see the programs loading [09:04] but USB HD takes sdb when hotplugged [09:04] write UUID on paper and look at /etc/fstab for same [09:04] but takes sda on reboot [09:04] Greyspacebt3: ok, pastebin your xorg.conf [09:04] UUIDs [09:04] dougsko [09:04] Okay, linuxhelp [09:05] i have these two cards to work with, and i'm not sure which is better [09:05] WoofWoofWoof: unfortunately, looks good to me :-) [09:05] i can't find useful specs on either of them [09:05] A_I_: dont quote me on this, but i think thats buggy behavior [09:05] LH is more likely to be able to help you [09:05] doug,, we are close... as I have a list of Nvidia Drivers to choose from ... ummmmmmmmm hard to pick [09:05] Greyspacebt3: what do you mean? what are you looking at? [09:05] @all i have to go for Questions look www.linuxonlinehelp.de THANKS [09:05] linuxhelp: UUID=07a29f46-5813-4716-878b-3547954816e1 none swap sw 0 0 [09:06] Okay, eccentricity. Thank you :) [09:06] but it is logical, on hotplug system takes the first available and on reboot system do it in the "right" order [09:07] usb shouldn't be the first to load either way [09:07] imo [09:07] A_I_: yeah youre right, it is actually the "sd" driver [09:07] doug After Crl+alt+backspace ,, it restarted and ubuntu had a configure Video Window popup... and now I am looking for the model that matches my GTX 260 card.. [09:07] if your UUID is listed inside fstab it must run [09:07] anyone tell me how i enable the splash screen in hardy? [09:08] Okay, linuxhelp :( [09:08] can someone tell me the difference (if any) between openssh that's in ubuntu server and the openssh in esx? [09:08] Can someone help me fix my network card? It's a generic card and has worked previously, but i can't even ifup it. [09:08] Thanks :) [09:08] nnull > see aptitude search usplash for installed [09:08] Greyspacebt3: ok, this may or may not work, but give it a try. just pick the most logical choices and let me know if something is ambiguous [09:08] usplash is for grub splash screen tho right? linuxhelp [09:08] if not install it now and run #initramfs-update -u -k all [09:09] Is EMU 0404 USB working with Ubuntu? [09:09] Bye@aLL [09:09] How do I add an user with root privileges from the terminal? [09:09] doug your right there isn't a geforce that I understand: my choices are: [09:09] why would you add a root user? [09:10] Greyspacebt3: this page might help too, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [09:10] mm2000: You mean add a user who can use sudo, yes? [09:10] yes [09:10] basically i'm having this problem where when I transfer files via sftp to openssh on esx, my file is corrupt (yet the correct size), where as my file transfered to ubuntu server are not corrupt [09:10] mm2000: sudo adduser username then sudo adduser username admin [09:10] via ssh and sftp [09:10] is there a way to configure the sd driver to tell him which to take for sda and which for sdb (internal hd and USB hd for ex.) [09:10] ? [09:11] mm2000: this page will show you how to work with your sudoers file, http://www.go2linux.org/sudoers-how-to [09:11] how do i reset an sd socket [09:11] like a /dev/sdd1 [09:11] A_I_: that's determined by the BIOS and hardware. [09:11] i got it to come iup with this, but when i reseated the cable, it didnt show up [09:11] Why might I be getting a shell labeled BusyBox (initramfs) when trying to boot from the ubuntu 8 install/live cd on a new computer? [09:11] anyone have acer aspire one? [09:12] rictic: busybox is a stripped down bash [09:12] I'm using Acer Aspire [09:12] How can i get ubuntu to find my network card. I keep getting "error while getting interface flags: no such device" when trying to ifup.Thanks=] [09:12] 5920 [09:12] WoofWoofWoof, pm? [09:12] aah [09:12] Anyone know how to use SVN? [09:12] rictic: you see it a lot in places where there isnt much memory for full-blown bash [09:12] i need one user :D [09:13] Okay, D1sa5t3 :s [09:13] vnix: yeah, whats the problem? [09:13] dougsko: Fair enough. I was expecting the GUI installer, which is what comes up when using this CD on other machines I think [09:13] in windows I use SVN tor. where I can right click and auto update but in Ubuntu how? thanks ^^ [09:14] rictic: hmmm...dont know why thatd be [09:14] vnix: cd to the top level of the svn project you checked out, and type, svn up [09:15] Doug: [09:15] Geforce; Geforce (fbdev); Geforce 256 Generic; Geforce 6 series; Geforce 6800 generic; Geforce 7 series; Geforce 8 series; etc...

[09:19] livingdaylight: nope [09:19] dougsko can you give me the command? [09:19] doug.. ok [09:19] ~medibuntu [09:19] !medibuntu [09:19] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [09:19] dougsko: what do i do with the Google Earth .bin file ? [09:19] livingdaylight: You don't need to install the medibuntu repository to use packages from it. [09:19] vnix, apt-get install svn [09:20] livingdaylight: don't use the bin, use the package from medibuntu [09:20] thank you [09:20] livingdaylight: just run it [09:20] vnix: that package name is actually, subversion, not svn [09:20] couldn't't find package [09:20] oh okie [09:20] I used the google earth bin, and my comp went WHITE Screen... [09:20] yeah it's running thanks [09:21] Flannel: so, go to mediubuntu instead of Google earth website ? [09:21] how can i install an archived icon set just using terminal and set it the default icon set for the current desktop instead of using the Install button at the Theme manager windows [09:21] livingdaylight: Yeah, you can browse the packages they have, download google earth, and then install it [09:21] Flannel: i see a bunch of choices :/ [09:22] * livingdaylight scrathches his head [09:22] i have a kernel panic while iam booting krnel of Damn small linux (virtualized)over ubuntu..... it shows values of CPU registers , stack, call trace ,code and says that Kernel panic : Attempted to kill the idle task ..... hmmm what should i do , it doesnt go any further [09:22] vnix: run, synaptic, some time. its a gui for installing packages. aptitude is my favorite though because it removes orphaned dependenceies when you uninstall something [09:22] ogzy: A) extract it to a subfolder of ~/.icons (~/.icons/THEME_NAME) [09:22] livingdaylight: you'll need googleearth-4.3 or -4.2 and the corresponding -data package: http://packages.medibuntu.org/hardy/index.html [09:22] crdlb, i know that part but i want to make it the default icon theme also, do you know where its info is kept? [09:23] Aptitude? [09:23] Flannel: gracias [09:23] ogzy: gconf [09:23] how do I go about reinstalling the nvidia driver on 8.04? I ran apt-get remove nvidia-glx-new then tried to reinstall but it reinstalls way to quickly and doesnt work [09:23] vnix: google it [09:23] i can't find it under add/remove. I will google it then [09:24] i'm reinstalling because it stopped working and doesnt pickup the driver any more [09:24] crdlb, no i dont want to use gconf or any other gui. i am writing my own icon setter for the user so i dont want to show anyother popup windows [09:24] yo yo yo [09:24] ogzy: gconf is not gconf-editor. gconf is a configuration system [09:25] !gconf [09:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about gconf [09:25] !info gconf [09:25] crdlb, then i should check how will use gconf to set the icon theme thanx [09:25] Package gconf does not exist in hardy [09:25] ogzy: it has a C api, and bindings for many languages including python. there is also gconftool-2, a command line client [09:25] crdlb, i am using python, thats nice [09:26] Flannel: i'm wondering why there isn't one package with all the depnedencies in them? like a .deb instead of having to run around satisfying a multitude of requirements? [09:27] funny, ubuntu made a 3gb swap on my home computer with 1gb RAM, whilst it made a 1gb swap on my work computer which also has 1gb RAM [09:27] How do I get my nvidia driver to appear in the "Hardware Driver" list? [09:27] Kartagis, that sound gay [09:27] !nvidia | alrex021 [09:27] alrex021: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [09:28] ogzy: the key name is /desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme [09:28] anyone have practice and experience making cairo-dock bend to their every whim? [09:28] Kartagis: id use double your ram amount as the amount of swap space [09:29] crdlb, ok thanx will check it now about the usage with gconftool [09:29] Kartagis: i would use about half, if you have a gig or more [09:29] ActionParsnip> I just did, because I was sick of having-to-reboots [09:29] Kartagis: what does the system get used for? [09:30] dougsko> at the moment, it is 2gb of swap [09:30] ActionParsnip> are you asking how much the system uses? [09:30] Kartagis: yeah but how much ram do you have? [09:30] dougsko> 1gb [09:30] Kartagis: no, what do you use the ubuntu install to achieve? [09:31] I don't like windoew [09:31] windows [09:31] Kartagis: games? image / video editting? web browsing? [09:31] ubottu: "Go to System->Administration->Hardware Drivers and check the box to enable the restricted drivers for your NVIDIA card if the option is provided. " -> The Nvidia card does not appear in the list. (It used to last friday. But something broke the settings I guess) ...is there a manual way to install or a better way to remove exisitng installed drivers? [09:31] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:32] hahah [09:32] alrex021: tried envyng-gtk? [09:32] oops [09:32] Kartagis: personally, with a gig of ram, id use only about 512mb for swap. but like ActionParsnip's saying, it depends on what your doing [09:32] ActionParsnip> not games, definitely [09:33] ActionParsnip: what is envyng-gtk? [09:33] dougsko: considering most folks have 200Gb hard drives or similar, im sure they can lose the space [09:33] !envyng | alrex021 [09:33] alrex021: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [09:33] ActionParsnip: yeah i guess, but thats not really a reason to waste it [09:34] dougsko: true enough [09:34] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=499804#c6 <--- how do I do what he says?

[09:38] ActionParsnip: yeah im the same way, but ive found over the years that i barely ever even use the one gig of ram that i have, so 512 swap is really all i need. thats me though [09:38] Stonekeeper: sorry, minds all over [09:38] does anyone know how I can change application icons in cairo-dock? [09:38] Stonekeeper: is the ipod in disk mode? [09:39] bahb: do you mean the app list or just the icons for the current apps?

[09:43] ActionParsnip: You mean that once the torrent finishes, it automatically updates to your iPod? :O [09:44] Stonekeeper: again, im not familiar with ipods as i think they are garbage, if yu webbowse round im sure there will be guides [09:44] Stonekeeper: What's the question, exactly? === legendsohai_ is now known as sohai [09:44] Anyone is familiar with PVPGN here? [09:45] No sir. [09:45] Where can I edit the global path variable. Basically, I want all users to have a certain path element, and when I sudo, I want it to also be there, though I don't want the existing path to be preserved. sudo should continue as normal (resetting the path), but the new path should also contain this desired element [09:45] PrivateRolf: The question is - is there a tool to diagnose an ipod fs? the kernel is basically saying "corrupt fs". [09:46] Greyspacebt3: use /etc/profile [09:46] Stonekeeper: You can try connecting it to Windows, resetting the firmware, and trying again. [09:46] I've never had the problem. [09:46] windows? [09:47] oops, i meant ghostknife: use /etc/profile [09:47] hi I'm new to ubuntu can anyone help me with my sound? [09:47] Ricc101: Sure. [09:47] thanks :) [09:47] What's the problem? [09:47] basically I'm trying to get HD audio working, the volume contol is there plus it shows it working [09:48] but still get no sound [09:48] Have you tried adjusting the PCM? [09:48] how do i do that [09:48] Right click the sound icon. [09:48] ricc101: try selecting alsa in sound prefs [09:48] Open Volume control. [09:48] File---> Manage Device, I can't exactly remember. [09:49] EEEBuntu doesn't come with gnome-volume-manager. :[ [09:49] alsamixer will work [09:49] and should be installed on all *buntu [09:49] i can turn the volume mixer up and down but i get nothing [09:49] Dougsko: I have alsamixer. [09:50] Just not gnome-volume-manager [09:50] PrivateRolf: ok. i was just throwing out an alt app in case someone wasnt using gnome [09:50] Dougsko: No problem.

[09:56] Hello everybody. I am having a problem with Firefox in Ubuntu 8.04 [09:56] can i ask some pppoe-setup questions here as i am using zenwalk [09:56] Clayton, this is generally the support chat. [09:56] If you're looking for off topic... [09:56] !offtopic | Clayton [09:56] Clayton: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [09:56] zenwalk room is dead and not getting any response :( [09:56] Elzoog: What's the problem? [09:57] ok, but in the past (when i had windows) i chatted on irc, with bigfun program... now i want to join some channel, but i don't have success... [09:57] ùhow can i do? [09:58] clayton: /j #channel [09:58] Clayton, type /join #ubuntu-offtopic [09:58] clayton: /j # [09:58] I've got two jre's installed - sun and openjdk. I think the system is using openjdk - how can I change it to use sun? [09:59] mods plz reply if i can ask queries about ZenWalk here?? [09:59] The problem is, I upgraded from Ubuntu 7.10. After I did that, the navigation toolbar and history don't work. I have already tried uninstalling and then reinstalling Firefox [10:00] hello [10:00] !multijava | askvictor [10:00] askvictor: To set which java version/implementation is to be used as default, use sudo update-java-alternatives [10:00] hey [10:00] i have just installed ubuntu via guided install however i am suspicious if i have a swap partition how do i check it? [10:01] ubd: sudo fdisk -l [10:01] ubd cheack system monitor [10:01] allright i got one [10:01] thanks! [10:01] np ubd [10:02] ok upd [10:02] got an error http://nexer.net/gnome.png [10:02] one more question, is it possible to configure max processor speed in ubuntu ? [10:02] aRahim: why have to open a gui app when a single line command outputs it? [10:02] ubd: how do you mean? [10:03] ActionParsnip: vista had this option to decrease the processor max mhz, i was using it to avoid heat... [10:04] ActionParsnip: i kinda thought him being a noob [10:04] ubd: id underclock in bios, ive not seen that in a desktop OS before [10:04] bye [10:05] how to say to dmesg to use an other level of showing messages, for example, when loading a module, shows any info [10:05] ok ActionParsnip thanks [10:05] Blackhold: grep [10:06] Blackhold: dmesg | grep module [10:08] Can anyone help me with my Firefox problem? [10:08] ubd: Otherwise you maybe should look at cpufreq package if your CPU supports frequency scaling!? [10:08] elzoog: whatup? [10:08] allright subtwo ill install it [10:09] !fedora [10:09] Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [10:10] I upgraded from Ubuntu 7.10 last night. The problem I am having though is that the navigation bar, history, and bookmarks don't work in Firefox [10:10] i am getting error cant mount volume when i insert my pen [10:10] http://nexer.net/gnome.png any way to fix that gnome error? [10:10] ubotto: There are hundreds of other distributions besides Ubuntu. [10:11] elzoog: hes a bot [10:11] elzoog: delete your .mozilla and try again [10:11] elzoog: id rename rather than delete [10:11] elzoog: you can then copy stuff over [10:11] ActionParsnip: now is not showing nothing! [10:11] Dryanta: The entire .mozilla directory in my home directory? [10:11] elzoog: or rename it [10:11] what I need is to change the level of errors in dmesg [10:11] i just delete mine when stuff like that happens [10:12] but i dont have huge important stacks of links or anything [10:12] hey all could anyone tell me if there's a command to list all unmounted drives please? [10:13] Blackhold, see -n in the dmesg manpage [10:13] Slasher`, sudo fdisk -l [10:13] Blackhold: grep basically takes all that output and only shows lines with the text you specify [10:13] thanks unop [10:13] Thanks Dryanta, that seemed to work [10:13] ActionParsnip, grep filters things out .. he wants to change the level of logging [10:13] elzoog: mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla_old [10:14] unop: i thought he just wanted to see module activity === niki77 is now known as nikola77 [10:14] elzoog: np [10:14] ActionParsnip, seems so .. but with more verbosity i assume [10:14] Well, first I did "ps x | grep firefox" to make sure that firefox wasn't still running. [10:14] elzoog: killall firefox works too [10:15] elzoog: or pidof firefox [10:15] Hello , i need help please, i installed apache on my server & i would like to know how i can enable (mod_read_write) ? [10:15] how does ubuntu update from one ubuntu version to another [10:15] I mean upgrade the system [10:15] !upgrade | nirupama [10:15] nirupama: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [10:15] So, why did I have to delete the .mozilla directory (actually, I moved it to .oldmozilla) [10:15] nirupama: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [10:16] elzoog: that hold all your firefox preferences and settings [10:16] ActionParsnip, but will it really upgrade whole of my base system and the applications [10:16] nirupama: yes [10:16] ActionParsnip, I want to upgrade from 7.04 to 8.04 [10:16] nirupama, not really, use the update-manager-core package [10:16] nirupama: no, you need ubottu's link for that [10:16] ActionParsnip, so can I get 8.04 just by apt-get upgrade [10:17] ActionParsnip, what is ubottu's link [10:17] I have a 1.80GHz processor however cpuinfo_cur_freq is only 600MHz. Why is this and how do I change it? [10:17] Also, I am wondering why did I have to search really hard to find an Ubuntu 8.04 DVD iso? Is Ubuntu gradually getting rid of having DVD isos in favor of only offering the CD? [10:17] ActionParsnip, you mean repository path [10:17] nirupama: as i said if you are going between versions then use ubottus link, if you want to upgrade the version you have, use my command [10:17] nirupama, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [10:18] Asked this earlier, but no one was able to solve it: I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop edition on an Acer 5920. Earlier, I shut it down and went away and when I came back a few minutes later, it was on, with a blank screen and a blinking cursor. It turned off when I pressed the power button. Now when I turn it on, it's not booting. It turns on and stops at the blank screen with the blinking cursor and does not proceed further. Right now I'm using the Live [10:18] elzoog: the dvd just has more fluff on it (like multiple desktop managers and the like) [10:18] ActionParsnip, please explain me ubottus [10:18] I was just trying to test Photoshop in Ubuntu. I put in the CD and attempted to see if wine would respond to it and get it to run. After installing Gecko and attempting the setup process, now Ubuntu will not even read the CD. [10:18] !upgrade | nirupama [10:18] nirupama: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [10:18] nirupama: that link there ^ [10:18] ActionParsnip, ok [10:19] nirupama: will upgrade you to the latest release (hardy heron) [10:19] ActionParsnip, ok [10:19] hana: try a reboot, id try photoshop through wine or even cedega if you dont mind spending the cash [10:19] hana: gimp is pretty sweet [10:20] ActionParsnip, gimp is not sweet in my experience. But I did try a reboot and it's the same problem. I am trying photoshop through wine, as I mentioned already. [10:20] Action: Yeah, but I would rather have stuff that is not commonly used, but I would like to try on the DVD (for example, Rosegarden) so that I don't have to download a file from the internet every time I want to try something odd [10:21] elzoog: not very much in linux is common, all systems are unique [10:21] ActionParsnip, I just needed to install gecko because the Photoshop setup.exe uses IE, which requires wine's Gecko component. But after I did that it seems like Ubuntu will not read the photoshop CD. [10:21] hana: try remounting it [10:21] ActionParsnip, I did. I remove the CD and put it back in and close it and it doesn't reead. [10:21] ActionParsnip, it read the very first time. [10:22] elzoog: if you want all the extra stuff then the dvd is for you, id try and get it via torrents as its faster and you give back tothe community by seeding [10:22] Action: Well, I would say that firefox and openoffice are examples of programs that are common. But for example, I have QCad on my machine. That would be an example of something probably not common [10:22] hana: you need to unmount the cd using sudo umount /mount/point/of/cd [10:22] elzoog: i use neither [10:22] ActionParsnip, alright. I'll try that. === zero is now known as Guest48126 [10:24] ActionParsnip, actually, I'm not sure what the mount point of my CD is. [10:24] Action: What do you use instead of Firefox? I use Firefox because it's common enough that web developers are more likely to support it than, for example, Galleon [10:24] hana: run mount on its own [10:24] ActionParsnip, ok/ [10:24] elzoog: opera, its way smaller in ram [10:25] Action: Yeah, I hear Opera is popular. [10:25] ActionParsnip, I don't see any /media mounts. [10:25] opera is swoi [10:25] i like opera [10:25] Action: But if I were a web developer, I would only test my sites on Internet Explorer, and Firefox [10:26] ActionParsnip, wrong. look up some tests [10:26] hana: id have the cd out, reboot, then once you are back in, insert the cd [10:26] ActionParsnip, ok. [10:26] ActionParsnip, I'll be back if it doesn't work. Thank you. [10:26] kindofabuzz: well it doesnt make my system drag like firefox does when it runs, thats my test [10:26] elzoog, i test mine on opera as well as those two and sometimes in konqueror too if i'm bored :P [10:26] ActionParsnip, my FF barely ever get's past 100m [10:26] kindofabuzz: its how it runs on MY system that counts, not some test / benchmarks [10:26] M [10:27] well said ActionParsnip [10:27] ActionParsnip, true, you should have said Opera uses les memory on my system =) [10:27] it was the mouse gestures that grabbed my attention to it to be honest [10:27] Slasher: If I notice a web site doesn't look good on Konqueror, I close konqueror and pull up firefox [10:27] people rely too heavily on benchmarks when they can test software for free and see how it performs [10:27] i do that if a website doesnt look good in opera elzoog lol [10:27] and make their own choice === Ardha is now known as co_moslim [10:28] 3.1b1pre rocks my socks with JIT === richard is now known as Guest27681 === ubuntu_ is now known as br0kkN [10:29] Slasher: I don't bother. Rather than take the time to run konqueror, see that a web site doesn't look good so I have to run firefox anyway, I'll just save myself the hassle and just run firefox in the first place. [10:29] i have firefox on my work lappy so i can control amarok via xul [10:29] does someone know how to 'circle workspaces' ex. go to workspace 1 from workspace for when going to workspace on the right? [10:29] what is opposite to cat? i want to write stdin to file, but i have to do it via pipe, not redirect [10:29] stodan: tac [10:30] stodan: no foolin [10:30] stodan: tee [10:30] Also, I went ahead and used the "not supported" Flash program from Adobe because the "free" alternative didn't work right [10:30] stimpie, ctrl+alt+left/right arrow keys? [10:31] tee is better, thx [10:31] ActionParsnip, I tried what you suggested and still no success. [10:31] stodan, cat can help. command | cat -> file [10:31] ActionParsnip, perhaps if I explain exactly what I did before this problem happened, maybe you can help me understand what happened? [10:31] Slasher`, they stop when you are at the edges and dont go the start again [10:31] hana: strange, what if you manually mount it? [10:31] ah i see what you mean [10:31] ActionParsnip, how do I do that? [10:32] stimpie,i don't know, sorry, i use compiz [10:32] how do i connect to irc in ubuntu? [10:32] its a minor inconvenience [10:32] hana: sudo mkdir /mnt/cd; sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cd [10:32] spook: you are on it now [10:32] ActionParsnip, Alright. [10:32] no, i want to connect to irc [10:33] spook: this is IRC [10:33] hi. i removed a failing sata drive from my system, and get grub error 22 now. i am fairly sure i can fix that (am on livecd now). but i wonder is there some way to make it not die when the hdd order changes? that os i kicked off my personal gear some time ago seems to handle this better for my brother. is there a nicer way to config it? [10:33] doug [10:33] doug [10:33] doug [10:33] Greyspacebt3: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:34] successful troll is successful [10:34] br0kkN: raid mirroring is the best way [10:34] spook: please ignore it [10:34] Asked this twice before >.< [10:34] I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop edition on an Acer 5920. Earlier, I shut it down and went away and when I came back a few minutes later, it was on, with a blank screen and a blinking cursor. It turned off when I pressed the po [10:35] ActionParsnip, I just hear the same sound I hear when I just put the CD in. The drive makes noise like it's trying to read it, but it doesn't successfully mount. [10:35] hana: do you have 2 cd drives/ [10:35] In which configuration file can I edit the global BASE PATH environment variable? [10:35] ghostknife: I'm not aware of that varible [10:35] ghostknife: what application wants it ? [10:35] ghostknife: for your user or all users? [10:35] dougsko, I have sound and I have video [10:36] ikonia: the PATH variable? [10:36] stdin: all users [10:36] ghostknife: /etc/environment [10:36] ghostknife: ooh PATH - I thought you where asking for BASE [10:36] stdin: that's what I meant with global [10:36] ActionParsnip, no. Just one. [10:36] hana: does it show up in bios? [10:36] but they can override in their ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile [10:36] stdin: problem with that one is that it doesn't affect SUDO [10:37] Greyspacebt3: awesome [10:37] ghostknife: you may want to put something in /etc/skel to for new user creation [10:37] ActionParsnip, I would just have to check. I just took the CD out and put it in my other computer and it works fine, so I know it's not the CD. [10:37] ghostknife: sudo has a built-in "secure" path, you can't change it [10:37] ActionParsnip, I'm going to try another CD in this one and see if it mounts. [10:37] hana: good test [10:37] ghostknife: there's also /etc/profile [10:37] hana: another good tets [10:37] stdin: I understand all those, I'm just trying to get SUDO to also include this when resetting the PATH env variable (don't want it preserved, so that a user can take on the new environment of the sudo'ed context) [10:37] stdin: isn't there an option at sudo invokation to source a file for things like environment variable [10:37] stdin: oh [10:37] ghostknife: at least not in Hardy (maybe for intrepid) [10:37] Hello guys [10:38] hi Debs626 [10:38] ikonia: yah, and we intend to make the server a central raid soon. but for my desktop, where i often trade drives in and out to 'work on' or fix for friends, tinker, what have you... that drive order thing is a pain when i go from 6 to 5 hdds and suddenly can't boot... and it wasn't either my bios boot and / drive or the drive with /boot that was pulled. since i do this sort of thing a lot, i was hoping for some idea on how i might [10:38] config better to avoid this. like how /etc/fstab can use uuids, mabye there is something like that for grub config??? [10:38] br0kkN: make sure your grub /boot partition is always on drive 1 then [10:38] ikonia, ghostknife: the -E variable to sudo should preserve PATH, but I think you need to edit /etc/sudoers to make it work (not sure) [10:38] br0kkN: then always swap out any other drive rather than drive one, leaving drive 1 in place [10:39] stdin: thats it [10:39] ikonia: okay, so it is having the /boot on the 250G IDE and bios-boot and various / === Dream-Ub1 is now known as Dream [10:39] ActionParsnip, I put in another CD and it mounted on this computer. So I guess the CD drive is also working. My guess is that it's a problem with wine because before wine would run the autorun.exe fromt he photoshop CD, but after I tried to install gecko following online directions so that wine would complete the setup.exe process, this problem occurred. [10:39] br0kkN: thats the idea [10:39] s/variable/argument/ [10:39] needing some help finding some internet radio broadcasting SW for ubuntu, something like SAM Broadcaster from Special Audio, I'm new to ubuntu and this is the only bit of SW thats holding me back from installing it on all of my pc's [10:39] root installs on the 60Gig IDE... the split is causing my failure then? [10:39] hana: now you have mounted a different cd can you mount you PS cd/ [10:40] Debs626, you may want to look at vlc [10:40] ActionParsnip, that was my next step. === neuro_ is now known as neuro [10:40] it dosnt broadcast does it stimpie ? [10:40] ActionParsnip, itt worked. Good good. === neuro is now known as neuro_ [10:41] hana: sweet :D [10:41] stdin, it would not be sudoers because i am in the grub boot-loader environment when i get my error [10:41] not linux [10:41] (yet) [10:41] hana: cedega works ok with photoshop but its gonna cost you :D [10:41] use wine, it's free [10:41] ActionParsnip, how does it cost me? [10:41] br0kkN: that response was not to you [10:42] hana: cedega isnt free [10:42] ikonia: well thing is my / [10:42] 's [10:42] grr... [10:42] ActionParsnip, oh. That sucks. [10:42] ActionParsnip, how much? [10:42] how do i see what motherboard i have in ubuntu? [10:42] Debs626, depends on what you call 'broadcast' [10:42] hana: neither is crossover office, you can try them for a while but then they want paying [10:42] hana: not sure about cedega, crossover is 25 GBP [10:42] hi [10:42] ikonia: thing is my root partitions are on a 60Gig IDE and the other drives are usually SATA that I remove... but they come earlier to GRUB for some reason, methinks. I would have to check to be sure, i haven't gotten that far this time yet [10:42] I am a ubuntu blogger [10:43] needs to be compatable with shoutcast stimpie [10:43] hana: you'll have to check for your country [10:43] ActionParsnip, where are you?

I typed /media/drive Now I cant mount the drive at all....help [10:52] Greyspacebt3: not if the devs havent made support for it yet [10:52] Greyspacebt3: with open source you cant expect anything, there are no garuntees [10:52] Greyspacebt3: i know id want it to work. but yeah, sometimes it takes a while before theres support for newer hardware like that [10:53] www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_177.13.html * if you book mark this for the EVGA 132-CK-NF78-!A 3-Way SLI S-775 nVidia nForce 780i * many people will be happy === [ID]-6509 is now known as georgeZl [10:53] dougsko,,, your the support [10:53] haha [10:53] dougsko, lol [10:53] ActionParsnip: should I restart sth ?

[10:55] I didn't have to touch X,,, it auto configured it [10:55] always a bonus :D [10:55] does anyone have any ideas about where one can find more information about the 60 day trial of Canonicals Landscape? [10:56] dougsko, say no to check Nvidia for a kernel at the start.. the rest of the questions are the default [10:56] ActionParsnip: it didn't work [10:56] ghaleb, how did you export the variable in ~/.bashrc ? [10:56] Greyspacebt3: easy enough [10:57] ghaleb: did you put export on the line, if you look through the file you'll find stuff [10:57] Myrtti: you could install webmin instead [10:57] ActionParsnip: yes [10:57] I duel booted my Dell and Ubuntu works great! but it sometimes restarts several times on boot up? any ideas? [10:57] Myrtti: its free forever [10:57] ActionParsnip: it's not for me but for a friend who has tried to enroll for the trial and has some problems/questions about it [10:58] Myrtti: oh then ive no idea, ive used webmin a little [10:58] I copied the exported variables into the shell, it worked [10:58] dougsko, yeah,,, after 4 hours ,, then another 2 hours with you and dinner,, and then 30 minutes retrying it until I figured out "not to request new kernal... and let it rebuild a kernel... yeah it was easy [10:59] but it doesn't when opening a new terminal [10:59] hi [10:59] ghaleb: type source ~/.bashrc [10:59] ghaleb: in terminal [10:59] ghaleb, what's the exact line you used in your ~/.bashrc ? maybe there's a syntax error in the export? [10:59] anyone know how I can turn off a usb device, as opposed to just allowing it to be suspended? [11:00] Greyspacebt3: heh thats all part of the fun. if everything just worked all the time, there'd be a lot less (forced) learning opportunities haha [11:00] dougsko, easy question how to I install a super terminal or root terminal [11:01] Greyspacebt3: there isnt such a thing. what exactly are you trying to do? [11:01] dougsko, but my head hurts [11:01] Greyspacebt3: no need, just sudo when you need root priveledges [11:01] Actually there such a thing [11:01] brb [11:01] Greyspacebt3, you don't need to install one .. you can create a launcher that runs this command. gksudo x-terminal-emulator [11:01] Greyspacebt3: actually, there is one installed [11:01] what unop said [11:01] Greyspacebt3: just enable it [11:01] system > preferences > startmenu [11:02] lmg.. your right.. but I don't rememeber where it is [11:02] > main menu that is [11:02] lmg.. too funny [11:02] hello every one [11:02] Not in scope: `is' [11:02] lmg... thanks [11:02] Greyspacebt3: there under "system tools" > "root terminal" [11:02] Thats the one [11:02] lmg... you rock [11:02] but what the others said is perfectly right too. it's just another launcher [11:03] zocky, what king of a USB device is it?

[11:05] lmg I like sudo us [11:05] sudo su [11:05] lmg, it works .. yes, _unsafely_ .. use sudo -i or sudo -s to setup the environment properly [11:05] ActionParsnip: not sure. since it freezes before displaying the page [11:05] i am having problem with my pendirive when i installed the slux in my pendrive and now the pendrive is not reading it only shows me the removable disk can any one help me how can i regain it ??? thanks [11:05] unop: that's for that. will try to remember [11:05] how to set ubuntu kernel?

[11:06] ActionParsnip: had to do some wierd stuff to get the flashplugin32 wrapped and output sound to pulse [11:06] Greyspacebt3: once you sudo you dont have to type the password again [11:06] vampur: you mean you can't access the drive anymore? [11:06] ActionParsnip: it's L mg, not i. [11:06] yes [11:06] lmg: took me a while eh [11:07] not even it's being formatting [11:07] ActionParsnip: heh. [11:07] zocky, not sure your webcam would support this -- but you could try adjusting hal properties .. see hal-set-property and hal-get-property [11:07] vampur: and you want to remove the flux thing from it so it's empty again?

[11:08] clarence: /boot/grub/menu.lst [11:08] can u help me gparted [11:08] michaesaur: mysql-server [11:08] !sql | michaesaur [11:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about sql [11:08] michaesaur: server? mysql-server [11:09] !mysql | michaesaur [11:09] michaesaur, please see my private message [11:09] michaesaur: apt-cache search mysql [11:09] I saw the Internet , someone say use "make menuconfig" [11:09] vampur: open a terminal and write "sudo apt-get install gparted", after it is installed go to System --> Administration --> Partition editor, select the appropriate device and format the partition (or remove all partitions and create a new one) [11:09] clarence: thats compiling the kernel [11:09] clarence: well, part of [11:09] My PC has a hard time starting. Sometimes restarting several times. any ideas?

[11:11] mm2000, dpkg-reconfigure -plow locales #probably [11:11] lmg: anything above 30 degrees celsius is bad, but in reality, 40-ish is an OK value [11:11] <|ns|nR8> lmg, ive had drives taht would burn your hand if you left it there [11:11] how to speed up the Ubuntu 8.04 of the boot speed? [11:11] bob1: remove "quiet" and/or "splash" from the boot-line in menu.lst [11:12] bob1: when you get to the GRUB screen, press E to edit the boot line, then remove the "quiet splash" part at the end [11:12] |ns|nR8: yeah, they _are_ hot. [11:12] Thanks Everyone [11:12] clarence: fewer startup services, more ram, faster hard drives [11:12] can any one help i am unable to see and mount my pendrive [11:12] BRB [11:12] vampur: sudo fdisk -l show it?

[11:13] vampur: what /dev is it and what file system? [11:13] vampur: did you set the right device in gparted? (to right pulldown iirc) [11:13] top right [11:13] dear i am saying my pendrive is fat32 format and yestd i installed slux in it [11:13] vampur: what /dev is it in the fdisk output? [11:14] what's slux? a mix of slax + ubuntu? [11:14] Is there a install that will show you your temperatures [11:14] Greyspacebt3: lmsensors [11:14] lmg: if you run sudo fdisk -l you will get an output. Which /dev is the pendrive (e.g. /dev/sdb) [11:14] + the applet + the driver for your mobos chip [11:14] <|ns|nR8> does that report temps on sata drives lmg or just IDE [11:15] lmg... hate to be a leach... but that was too easy [11:15] lol [11:15] but I found drag start-up rate for drivers is, how to solve [11:15] Unable to open /dev/eda [11:15] |ns|nR8: all hard drives are IDE, i think you mean PATA [11:15] ActionParsnip: thanks for trying to help, but I don't have any troubles with my drives ;) [11:15] vampur: ok cool [11:15] it's unable to read the drive [11:15] can i just format and make it fresh [11:15] lmg: sorry wrong nick [11:16] ActionParsnip: no prob, I figured. [11:16] Greyspacebt3: what motherboard? [11:16] vampur: ok sudo mkdir /mnt/stick; sudo mount /dev/eda /mnt/stick vfat [11:16] vampur: does all that work?

[11:17] it is pricey 245.00 but its built for today and for next month [11:17] Greyspacebt3: do you have a binary (script) called "sensors-detect" in your path (prolly after installing "lmsensors") ? [11:17] den [11:18] with stick vfat ntn happen [11:18] subtwo: g-drive for small files.

[11:19] vampur: do you see files? [11:19] nopes [11:19] how [11:19] vampur: ok [11:20] lmg.. thanks I will for UBuntu specific its called lm-sensors [11:20] cd ~/ sudo umount /mnt/stick [11:20] * lmg grins evilly [11:20] now den [11:20] vampur: cfdisk /dev/eda [11:20] vampur: with sudo [11:21] vampur: then delete any partitions and recreate [11:21] how to speed up the driver loading in the booting? [11:21] vampur: and make _sure_ you're using the right device [11:22] it says cannot open disk [11:22] vampur: does `df` list your drive? [11:23] pardon me lmg dear [11:23] df is a command [11:23] vampur: then sudo fsck /dev/eda [11:23] but since ActionParsnip is takin' care of you - I'll try to shut up ;) [11:23] fsck 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008) [11:23] e2fsck 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008) [11:23] fsck.ext2: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/eda [11:25] hey i can only be honoured if i can just only format it and can read and access it [11:26] vampur: can you repartition it in windows? [11:26] fsck won't run on a physical device [11:26] vampur: pull out your drive, tail -f /var/log/messages and plug it in again. [11:26] fsck /dev/eda1 #perhaps [11:26] this is what happens here if I plug in a FAT32 stick -> http://pastebin.com/d53134c6c [11:26] Hi all, is there anybody who have Genius G-Pen 4500 ?

It fails to find the dependancy libmilter-dev, even though it's installed [11:28] any ideas? [11:28] vampur: how big is this stick?

[11:30] okh [11:30] sorry [11:30] vampur: just tell the last line, scrolling isnt cool [11:30] Abracadabra, what are you trying to do? [11:31] vampur, it /dev/eda the device name of your harddrive? [11:31] vampur, eda doesn't sound right [11:31] unop, I am trying to find all the files icmpInSrcQuenchs, recursively by a specific date and to find out which of those files are in which folder [11:32] dear unop how may i get the right name of the drive [11:32] vampur, sudo fdisk -l [11:32] vampur: id get testdisk installed. I think yuo can write a FAT to the device [11:33] Abracadabra, you should use find instead. something like. find /path -iname '*icmpinsrcquenchs*' -type f -newer $SOME_DATE -exec dirname {} \; [11:33] unop, so I start in /usr/folder (inside folder, there are over 200 subfolders, all named by numbers .... in each of those folders are the file icmpInSrcQuenchs). I need to list the ones that have been updating today, and in which folders they are in [11:34] vampur: yes, testdisk can write an mbr to the device which may or may not make it work [11:34] vampur: you can always uninstall it [11:35] dear action i installed testdisk now what to do [11:35] sudo testdisk [11:36] Abracadabra, find /usr/folder -iname '*icmpInSrcQuenchs*' -type f -mtime -1 #should list files modified in the last 24 hours [11:37] now dere are option for creat log append file and no log [11:37] Abracadabra, if you just want the directories these files belong in. find /usr/folder -iname '*icmpInSrcQuenchs*' -type f -mtime -1 -exec dirname {} \; | sort | uniq [11:37] vampur: no need for a log [11:37] then [11:39] can anyone help with cairo-dock? [11:39] vampur: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step [11:39] only one media is being displyed [11:39] Hello i am new i want to install flashplayer [11:39] unop, ty, and if I want to check files that have updated in the last 30 mins for eg ? [11:39] instead of the last day.. [11:39] valentinex: google "medibuntu repository" add it following the directions and install "flashplayer-nonfree" [11:40] can anyone tell me if there's a problem with using "sudo bash" instead "sudo -i", "sudo bash"? [11:40] lmg: how to add directions [11:40] Abracadabra, hmm, see the -newer option to find [11:40] Abracadabra, also the -?time options [11:40] lmg: its in .tar.gz extension which i downloaded [11:41] carrera, sudo bash does not set the environment up in the same way sudo -i does .. the former is not recommended [11:41] carrera, if i remember right, sudo bash is somewhat like sudo -s [11:41] though not exactly [11:41] thanks unop, why isn't it recommended? [11:42] unop, so I shouldn't use it to run commands like "make install"? [11:42] how to handle a downloaded .tar.gz file? [11:42] unop, ok, ty [11:42] valentinex: that is for local install ~/.mozilla/firefox/plugins/ [11:43] are there any mail client program that it can separate each account in side bar (like outlook 2003) not each email from each account stand in a inbox ? [11:43] carrera, because the environment still has variables referencing your files, directories, etc .. and if any files are created (in your directories), only root will be able to open them -- which is almost never what you want. [11:43] unop, man page says: The -s (shell) option runs the shell specified by the SHELL envi‐ [11:43] ronment variable if it is set or the shell as specified in [11:43] passwd(5). [11:43] carrera, sudo make install #should be enough [11:43] lmg: i am totally new . i should enter that in terminal? i dont know much about computer too [11:43] unop, so it seems like sudo -s is exactly like "sudo bash" [11:44] unop, thanks. I used to do "sudo -i" before I ran make install [11:44] valentinex: extract libflashplayer... [11:44] the media i mean the pendrive is not being displeyd in testdisk [11:44] carrera, it's safer to use sudo -i unless you really really want otherwise [11:44] valentinex: cut it. goto /home/valentinex/.mozilla/firefox/plugins/ and paste it there. [11:45] carrera, though it doesn't make sense to sudo -i just to run make install .. as you can just run make under sudo [11:46] What's "menu>quit..." called? I want to find out how to add more options to it (hibernate + sleep etc) [11:46] unop, so which is better, to just run "sudo make install" or to login to root interactively? [11:46] carrera, sudo make install [11:46] ok [11:47] carrera: sudo (without any switches) preserves your environment (display, path) which is needed by some programs. [11:47] #ubuntuusers [11:47] lmg: home/valentine etc after that i am unable to find mozilla [11:47] now wthat can i do just to format my pendrive as it's not able to read [11:48] lmg, thanks. Isn't it best to use root's env for make install as in other Unix/Linux? [11:48] valentinex: note: it's .mozilla [11:48] Anyone here got experience with getting Symbian phones to work with Ubuntu ?! [11:48] valentinex: a hidden file with a .(dot) in front [11:48] vampur, what name does fdisk -l report about your device? [11:48] lmg: should i type that address in terminal? [11:48] .. [11:48] xr600, my nokia 6300 just works when i plug it in, i use data storage mode [11:49] valentinex: you can type in nautilus adress bar, or show hidden files (CTRL+H iirc) [11:49] carrera, not really, you just need to be root to run 'make install' [11:49] carrera, meaning, you need root's privileges [11:49] lmg: found it doing [11:49] unop, thaks [11:50] Slasher`Hm... How about Sync+uploading MP#'s to the bastad ?! [11:50] Slasher`Mine is a Samsung i450 [11:50] xr600, MP's? [11:50] valentinex: sorry, mistake. it's /home/valentine/.mozilla/plugins (strip the firefox/ parrt) [11:50] Hi does any one know how to set up hotmail in evolution [11:50] Slasher`... Whoops, that would be MP3's :D [11:50] lmg: after firefox there is not plugin folder [11:50] rofl [11:51] Hi does any one know how to set up hotmail in evoloution [11:51] lmg: after mozilla there is also no plugin folder [11:51] xr600, when i plug my phone in it just gives me 3 options, nokia mode, something else and data storage, i pick data storage and can use it like a pen drive [11:51] what's in the medibuntu repository? [11:51] Slasher`My 'old' SE phone would show up in Rythmbox... [11:51] valentinex: create one. put libflashplayer... in there. [11:52] valentinex: restart firefox, flash away [11:52] xr600, hmm just looked about and can't see anything, so i can't help you there, sorry :( [11:52] can anyone tell me how I can add medibuntu repository? [11:52] I don't see it in the Software Sources list [11:53] !medibuntu | carrera [11:53] carrera: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [11:53] what is the program called which you can install a copy of xp emulated under ubuntu [11:53] Slasher`No prob... IRC is'nt my first cry for help either ;) [11:53] ben34; vmware or virtualbox [11:53] thanks bastid_raZor [11:53] virtualbox was what i was thinking of [11:53] thanks [11:54] bastid_raZor, isn't VirtualBox better for running XP? [11:54] lmg: Thanks :D it worked [11:54] carrera; i use VMWare and i've never used VirtualBox.. so i can't really say.

Crux is a good banker. [11:59] Badboy_: C preprocessor macros can't be recursive, but recursion can be achieved using C++'s template mechanism [11:59] what would you recommend as an client app that handles FTP, SFTP, etc ...

Welcome to #ubuntu! [12:32] what would you all recommend as a replacement for CorelDraw [12:32] i have changed my hostname in the system/adminstration/network gui now i always get some hostname cannot be resolved errors (allthough i restarted the computer) how can i fix that? [12:33] g33k_gir1: gimp [12:33] ActionParsnip: isn't that more of a replacement for Photoshop? [12:33] g33k_gir1: tried inkscape?

[12:35] stuporglue, I believe you are right [12:35] Hi, I've been having problems with using 2 music players like hypem.com inside firefox and listen. Is there a easy fix so they can both play at the same time? [12:35] nope ... haven't tried Inkscape. I've manage to convince my supervisor to make the switch to linux on her personal machine. Is Inkscape easy to use for a windows-convert with windows-only computer skills (ie, she aint gonna be running anything on the command line until she gets her confidence up) [12:35] g33k_gir1: it's all graphical [12:36] Inkscape is very slick and even works with Wacom tablets. It's cross platform and has good documentation.

[12:37] coz_: yes [12:37] g33k_gir1, hold on I think I have alink for that specifically [12:37] trying to make the switch as small a "culture-shock" as possible [12:37] g33k_gir1: Inkscape has a version for Windows too, why not try that out first before switchign to Ubuntu? [12:38] how to speed up driver loading speed? [12:38] g33k_gir1: inkscape is pretty easy to use. it's available for windows too ( http://downloads.sourceforge.net/inkscape/Inkscape-0.46.win32.exe ) [12:38] AccessExcess, how do I make flash use alsa? [12:38] sudo: unable to resolve host myhost how do i fix this? [12:38] clarence: load less drivers, or get a faster hdd [12:39] how to do ?

[12:40] thanks [12:41] Hi, Ubuntu does not recognize my monitor and uses the resolution 800*600. How do I tell it to use 1024*768 instead? [12:41] tim167: "sudo fuser /dev/dsp" ?

[13:39] * a[2121]e slaps MistaOtai around a bit with a large trout [13:39] have a problem [13:39] which package do i need to install to read wma's? [13:40] !w32codecs | KenBW22 [13:40] KenBW22: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [13:40] guys I have Intel Core 2 DUO 2160 so I should download ubuntu for 64bit AMD and Intel computers right? [13:40] see this http://paste.ubuntu.com/44527/ [13:40] After i do sudo dpkg --configure -a will it let me install updates? [13:40] any one [13:40] KenBW22, install the w32codecs pack for starters [13:40] http://paste.ubuntu.com/44527/ [13:40] Rajec: 32bit will work as well if you want to use that [13:40] Hi, is there a command in terminal that will show like systeminfo? [13:40] brettt_: lspci and lshw [13:40] jrib: yeah I see but 64bit should be better once I have 64bit CPU [13:40] dr_willis: ive already installed ubuntu-restricted-extras, dunno if that has the w32codecs package in it [13:41] Rajec: how much ram do you have? [13:41] KenBW22, if you dident have medibuntu enabled.. it dident. [13:41] I think. [13:41] amanulla: "using wiki"? what do you mean by that? [13:41] jrib: 1gb ;) but for example I heard that 64bit Vista version is faster than 32bit [13:41] Rajec: you heard wrong [13:41] i have installed ubuntu 8 in xp as an application software in xp using wiki [13:41] Rajec, i imagine it depends on the tasks the OS is doing.. I dont find it any faster. :) [13:42] amanulla: wubi [13:42] dr_willis: i can *play* the wma's, but im trying to convert ione to mp3 using soundKonverter. but it doesn't list wma's as a supported format [13:42] hmm i think i really have problems. parted shows / as sda5, but grub need it as (hd0,6) [13:42] ikonia: thats experience of one of my (very experienced) friend [13:42] i just installed ubuntu server, and i was following the documentation to install lighttpd + ruby + rails, everything installed ok but now when i try to access the site, it says conection refused... what am i doing wrong? [13:42] Rajec: he's wrong [13:42] it mean i can uninstall it when ever i need from add r remove programs [13:42] Rajec: and doesn't appear that experienced [13:42] JackTop: thats correct [13:42] amanulla: you just said "using wiki" again. what do you mean by that? wikis are a kind of website that users can edit [13:42] anybody? [13:42] i'm pretty sure that sda6 used to be my root... [13:42] dooglus: amanulla means Wubi [13:42] amanulla: wubi? [13:42] ok im wrong its wubi [13:42] Rajec: I don't see why, 64bit just lets you address > 4GB ram. You won't notice a speed difference if there is one anyway. The issue is that some software isn't available for 64bit. For a desktop user, I can only thing of the lack of sun's java plugin for 64bit [13:42] JackTop: why is that a problem ? [13:43] KenBW22, thats a different thing then. :) It may not even support wma. or it may be a compile time option. I would check the ubuntu forums, and perhaps the soundkonverter homepage. [13:43] JackTop: sda6 is (hd0,5) I think [13:43] Pici: I've runned that command the nany other command do I need to do ??? [13:43] Setting up gnome-games-data (1:2.22.3-0ubuntu2) ... How long does this normally Take? [13:43] nAhIaN: Nope, that should do it [13:43] dooglus: depends on the extended partition layout, but your correct [13:43] lrojas: well, is the web server running? [13:43] dr_willis, ikonia, jrib so rather 32bit beccuase of potencial problems with 64bit version [13:43] dr_willis: oh right. i had the same problem with mp3's until i installed lame. assumed there must be one for wma's as well [13:43] Rajec, for most people i dont see much reason to go 64bit unless you got lots of ram. [13:44] konia:is it wubi [13:44] KenBW22, no idea on that . I never touch wma's :) [13:44] Rajec: that's what I would recommend, yes [13:44] JackTop: I have "root (hd0,1)" and "root=/dev/hda2" [13:44] dr_willis, ikonia, jrib ok thanks ;) [13:44] dr_willis: i dont normally, but there wasnt an mp3 available [13:44] ikonia: is it wubi or wiki? [13:44] amanulla: wubi [13:44] Pici: thanks [13:44] ok [13:44] KenBW22, you may want to google for wma to wav converter apps and see whats out. [13:44] !wma [13:44] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [13:45] ikonia: don't know seems i lost my swap partition. i've tried to repair my partitioning. both parted and qtparted showed problems. ok maybe they have all moved now. i'm happy i can boot again. is there some utility that will check the integrety of my partitioning? === zero is now known as Guest61600 [13:45] any one for meeee [13:45] JackTop: fsck will check your file system integrity [13:46] I had one unformatted partition that was 1024MB.

[13:46] I've got a USB drive (recognized as Lexar Media by lsusb) but it won't automount. Can anybody help me mount it? [13:46] amanulla, i imagine everyone has totally frogotten your original question now.. YOu may wish to rephrase/summarize it in a better format. [13:46] Im on a desktop that always powered on, can I turn off the 2 power management services (acpid & apmd) ? [13:46] http://paste.ubuntu.com/44527/ [13:47] its in clear over here [13:47] ikonia: and how can i check that the partition table is ok ? [13:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/44527/ [13:47] JackTop: why would it not be - the partition table is either valid - or invalid [13:47] Will sudo dpkg --configure -a Also fix my sound driver cause i had a power outage which caused all of this [13:47] ikonia: i think something went wrong when i was resizing the disk using qparted [13:47] amanulla, not everyone has a web browser handy. a summary is always handy. [13:48] Pici: I am using amsn for msn mesenger but for yahoo which one is better than pidgin brother, in pidgin I dont get any notification if user come online or offline [13:48] JackTop: so if you can mount the partitions there is a valid partition table [13:48] ok i need to configure internet connection in ubuntu 7.04 how can i [13:48] JackTop: I'd be more worried about your file system [13:48] nAhIaN: I'm not sure, sorry. I dont a messaging client. [13:48] Pici: ohh ok [13:49] nAhIaN, use the plugins in pidgin for that ... then there is kopete [13:49] Hi can anyone help me on how to install drivers via the terminal?

[13:49] ricc101: there should be documentation with the drivers on what to do / how to use them [13:50] I am trying to do that but the i cant get it to run in the root directory [13:50] amanulla, this is a wired network? or wireless? i have no machines with 7.04 so really cant walk you through the menus either.

[14:13] can someone help me out with this fan pb on mactel ? thx >> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5749409#post5749409 [14:14] madk: depends if there is anything blocking that port (hosts allow doesn't block a port) [14:14] ikonia : yp.conf lists server by IP not name [14:14] JuJuBee: sorry, I mean from the server back to the client [14:14] JuJuBee: reverse loolup [14:14] lookup [14:14] JuJuBee: have you got NFS home directories ? [14:14] Yes [14:14] ikonia, can you look at the cupsd.conf file i posted? ( http://pastebin.ca/1197183 ) what's wrong with it? [14:14] JuJuBee: can you ping the client ? [14:15] madk: what problem are you having [14:15] yes [14:15] JuJuBee: so is the nfs server running, resolvable, pingable, from the client ? [14:15] ikonia, i cant install the printer (on windows client) from my linux (server). the printer is running with cups.

I tried changing the host name file but that seems to cause problems and doesn't update everywhere. [14:18] !hostname [14:18] Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab [14:18] madk: sounds like the cups server isn't listening on the interface you want [14:18] /quit [14:18] madk: in future if possible try to use ubuntu docs/guides [14:18] can someone help me out with this fan pb on mactel ? thx >> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5749409#post5749409 [14:18] ikonia : thanks, but client still hangs after uname/passwd Students cannot login still. Any other suggestions? [14:18] I've got a USB drive (recognized as Lexar Media by lsusb) but it won't automount. Can anybody help me mount it?

[14:19] is there a log file of execution of /etc/acpi/resume.d ? and where? [14:19] Hi, how can I change the xchat icon in the panel when it's minimised? [14:19] ikonia, hmmm.. k, in future. you have suggestions? [14:20] madk: yes, if the application is not listening on the IP you want (localhost only) then something is blocking it, or it's not bound to the correct interface [14:20] madk: what make of printer is it [14:20] brEz, I don't think you can change it, it's probably hardcoded [14:20] RyanPrior: what is your sudo fdisk -l output [14:20] got the file to run this time but right at the end it says: [14:20] =[ [14:20] make: *** [all] Error 2 [14:21] make: *** [install] Error 2 [14:21] ikonia, it is hp [14:21] Installation Unsuccessful [14:21] makes the whole theme oogly :P [14:21] ricc101: then you need to get support from the people who make the driver [14:21] ricc101@Ubuntu-Desktop:~$ [14:21] ricc101: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[14:57] darren__: maybe a small search on launchpad can help you :) [14:58] Tengu: thats the problem i have one built in that is turned off aswell when thats on it shows signel strength just not the pug in wireless [14:59] aethelred : Thanks a lot dude. [15:00] Hi2all, does anybody use orage?? it shows me the config dialog at every startup. How can i stop that? [15:01] adidust: also, look here: http://www.stabellini.net/nistnet.html === Itch_ is now known as sisif [15:03] xubuntuuser: I don't know orage, but this kind of problem usually boils down to the program not being able to write its configuration files. Perhaps one of your config directories is not owned by you any more? Also consider asking in #xubuntu [15:05] soundray: if i change the configuration tese changes stay to the next reboot. [15:05] hi everyone [15:05] hi i think its called network manager the icon that shows signel strength does any one know if there is any prefrence settings for it..it does not show my signel strength === sean is now known as Guest28114 === teKnofreak is now known as techno_freak [15:05] has anyone heard of vsx virtualization? [15:07] xubuntuuser: if the problem is a permissions one, as I suspect, you could fix it with 'sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME' [15:08] soundray: thanks, i used the command... hoping for next reboot! [15:08] xubuntuuser: logging out and in again should be enough [15:09] ok [15:09] A sample image can be found here: http://200.179.57.57/100_3169.jpg [15:09] wrong paste =D [15:09] fevel: if this is not a support question, try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic [15:10] Just installed ubuntu server on a Poweredge 2650 with broadcom net extreme card. I'm having issues, I cannot use anything network related. pinging gives me a destination unreachable.... [15:10] how to find out how many sessions are accounted on the system? and its username? [15:11] tobago: 'w' or 'who' [15:11] tobago: w [15:11] tobago: or finger [15:11] tobago: how many sessions are open? or how many user accounts in total the machine has? [15:11] erUSUL, how many sessions are open [15:11] tobago: the follow the advice of soundray or Pici ;P [15:12] screenlets under kde? If so, anyone w/ a pointer? [15:12] Pici, it returns too much entries. on my machine is one session opened, but 11 entries [15:12] tobago: Do you have 11 terminals open? [15:12] shank: "ip a" and "ip route" output on a pastebin would be nice to have... [15:12] Need some help setting up Netatalk so I can have a mac talk to my Ubuntu Laptop. [15:12] tobago: Are they all your suername? [15:12] Pici, yes [15:13] but the user is accounted only once [15:13] tobago: I dont know what you mean by accounted [15:13] tobago: my comp has three now X windows a two screen's "tabs" [15:13] logged in [15:13] Pici, ^^ [15:13] shank: what does 'lspci | grep Eth' give you? Please don't paste if it's more than one line. [15:13] erUSUL: what is a paste bin [15:14] tobago: Each terminal 'session' counts as a separate login. [15:14] tobago: yes but every terminal uses one tty and counts [15:14] !paste | shank [15:14] shank: 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) [15:14] soundray: one sec [15:14] tobago: plus the one used by X window [15:14] ah shucks, i'm using a IP KVM, and I cannot copy from here I dont think, let me see [15:14] shank: add what soundray asked to the big paste [15:15] Pici, erUSUL so finger/ who doesn't return the number of logged in users. [15:15] tobago: No, it does exactly that. [15:15] Pici, then i misunderstand the process of logging in. [15:18] tobago: Every time you open a terminal you run another login shell, and effectively login again. 'w' shows you from where the user is logged in from, see the TTY and FROM columns. [15:18] i need the value that i should change for gdm setup at gconftool usage, anybody have an idea? [15:19] Pici: does it mean you can only open 6 terminal ? [15:19] Hi. I'm techy but very new to Linux. I'm trying to access files on a Windows 2000 desktop from my Linux laptop. So far I'm able to read and write files on the Windows PC from my Linux PC, but I can't create any files on the Windows PC. Samba was preinstalled on my Laptop, and I haven't made any changes to the installation. I mount the shared directories by issuing "sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=... -o rw ..." command in a terminal window [15:19] ogzy: could you explain a bit more? === Kitu is now known as moine === Lynet_ is now known as Lynet [15:19] weboide: I dont believe there is a set number of login shells you can spawn. [15:20] Pici: there is 6 TTY started at boot time [15:20] weboide: Yes, I wasn't really referring to those though. [15:20] Kenton: Can you create files on the share if you connect to it from a Windows pc? [15:20] Pici: okay ;) [15:20] X terminal logins use pseudo ttys, not real or virtual ones. They are finite but large in number [15:21] Guys, what you have requested are screenshots located here http://www.theshank.net/linux/1.jpg http://www.theshank.net/linux/2.jpg http://www.theshank.net/linux/3.jpg [15:21] weboide: that's the numbr o getty processes that are run by default on boot... [15:21] soundray, sure, i used python gconf binding to set up my icon set from terminal, now i want to the the similar thing for a new gdm theme set up so that i will change the defaut gdm theme, so if you know gconftool it sets some values for such things, do you know the value for gdm? [15:21] AJC_Z0: Large enough to not have to worry about the limit ;) [15:21] AJC_Z0: oh ok [15:21] Lynet: Yes. Windows to Windows works fine. [15:21] Usually a subshell, as opposed to a login shell, is started when you open an X terminal [15:22] Let me know if there's any other information you need some my server [15:22] This means that your shell profile or login script is not run, only your rc script. See your shell's page in the manual [15:22] erUSUL: AJC_Z0: is there any reason to have 6 TTY started ? for remote login maybe ? [15:22] ogzy: I see. gdm isn't configured through gconf -- it's got its own setup tool (gdmsetup) and config files (/etc/gdm/) [15:22] weboide: Because not everyone uses XWindows, and some people like the option to fall back to these. [15:22] weboide: those are for virtual terminals (Crtl + Alt + F1-6) [15:23] got it : ) [15:23] ogzy: generally, you can find out the names of gconf keys by running gconf-editor and searching for strings with Ctrl-F [15:23] weboide: Those are virtual consoles. You should be able to ctrl-alt-F1 to 6 or 7 to switch between them, with another for X [15:23] soundray, i want to do everything without a gui, let me check /etc/gdm file [15:23] Kenton: Hmm. My guess would be either wrong file rights on the mount point or wrong/different username/pw when connecting to the share. [15:23] Pici: AJC_Z0: i tried those, but i don't know the key to press to go back to X : ( [15:24] weboide: ctrl+alt+f7 [15:24] Pici: thanks : ) [15:24] weboide: keep trying increasing F keys. The last one which works will be your X session [15:24] F7 probably [15:24] i understand better now, thanks guys! [15:25] jrib: Pici: that file sharing and doing all didn't worked :) [15:25] consoles are great fallback/panic solutions [15:26] Lynet: I suspect it has something to do with rights on the mount point. Even though its owned by my user ID, once I issue the mount command ownership changes to root. My ID/password is the same on both machines. [15:27] one flood bot should mute the other bot [15:27] hi every one dows any one know if wicd is kinda the same as network manager does it have a icon and show signel strength [15:27] shank: everything seems correctly set up ... only thing left is a driver bug... [15:28] erUSUL: so.. what does that mean, lol...driver update? or [15:28] erUSUL: i'm prolly a 2 out of 10 when it comes to knowledge in *nix [15:28] hi guys ivegot a prob apparently with flash, could you help? when i watch a videoclip (i.e. youtube) there's an horizontal line in the centre of the screen, like if it's switching frame, it's pain in... and my eyes hurt. can you help? [15:29] shank: 3.jpg gives me a 404 [15:29] whoops [15:29] one sec [15:29] soundray: now set [15:30] soundray: is broadcom NeXtExtreme bcm5701 [15:30] Kenton: Have you tried playing with uid=yourlinuxusername? [15:30] Can someone help me with netatalk? I went though and made it (or so I think) so it will use openssl to encrypt the connection but it doesn't seem to have worked. Also I can't connect to my linux laptop from a mac desktop. [15:30] I need to troubleshoot something here, how can I change a variable returned by debconf-show package? === JonathanD is now known as Jonathand [15:31] Lynet: No, I haven't. Is that part of the mount command? It sounds promising. (Remember: I'm a Linux infant. ;-) ) [15:32] erUSUL: thanks. Is this normally supported by the tg3 driver? ( shank) [15:32] guys I am now one of you I am on ubuntu lol :)). May I ask you what you use for quick running/finding applications? [15:32] soundray: tha's what i gathered from google :) firsdt thought of b44 [15:32] rajec: ALT+F2 [15:32] rajec: synaptics [15:33] rajec: in terminal, 'apt-cache search searchterm' === root is now known as Guest80709 [15:33] boythere === Guest80709 is now known as boythere [15:34] I need help to fix the Compose key bug, the script at startup doesn't seem to work. [15:34] shank: does 'dmesg | grep tg3' give you any output? === root__ is now known as boythere [15:35] valentinex: thanks thats what I was looking for I think [15:35] soundray: yes. last line is tg3: eth0: flow control is off for TX and off for RX [15:35] Hello [15:35] Kenton: Yup. [15:35] I wanna ask. When i install Ubuntu 7.04. I dun have internet connection. how to fix this? I have the internet connection when i am in Windows. [15:35] shank: anything that looks like an error? [15:35] soundray: line above that shows tg3: eth0: link is up at 1000Mbps, full duplex [15:35] Guys I just installed netbeans. I am used to desktop icon and exe file ;) there is no desktop icon so how should I run it? [15:36] soundray: not that i can tell, since last 2 show that it is up and running [15:36] shank: I don't think the driver is the problem then. Good. [15:36] Lynet: I'll check it out and give it a try. Thanks! [15:36] ok, nvidia-xconfig says I need a "driver" line in "device section" Configured Video Device. now what? [15:36] shank: now you're going to ask, if it's not that, what is it? [15:36] Kenton: Anyway, Ubuntu also has gui tools for mounting network shares. Look at Places - Network and Places - Connect to Server. [15:36] soundray: if it's not that, what is it? [15:36] bahahahaha [15:37] shank: soundray maybe tweaking something with ethtool ? like forcing some rate or full/half duplex? [15:37] shank: good question [15:37] Adidust are you using DHCP? [15:37] erUSUL: what command shall i run to enable full duplex [15:37] erUSUL: perhaps... I'm afraid I have no relevant experience [15:37] i want to crate a user with same home directory. whats the command for that [15:38] shank: "sudo ethtool eth0" should give you current status of some conf options ... [15:38] erUSUL: okay i see a list of options.. [15:39] jacobs1: Same home directory? Why'd you want to do that? [15:39] How does one configure ircd-hybrid on Ubuntu 8.04.1 64-bit? I keep trying to connect locally with my machine's hostname but I get connection refused. I tried the correct port. Any ideas? [15:39] (And my hostname is confirmed to be correct) [15:39] anyone? [15:39] Lynet: ok then, to a new directory [15:39] what would be the command [15:40] jacobs1: go through System-Administration-Users and Groups, or run 'sudo adduser jacobs2' (as an example) [15:40] jacobs1: For GUI: System - Administration - Users and groups. On command-line: adduser [15:40] hi [15:40] is it possible to use ipw3945 drivers on 8.04 instead of that crap iwl3945? [15:41] shank: try "sudo ethtool -s eth1 speed 1000 duplex full" but keep in mind i just shooting in the dark [15:41] I don't get why nmap doesn't show IRCd running on my local machine. [15:41] I used /etc/init.d/ircd-hybrid to start it. [15:41] 'Ello there. [15:41] erUSUL: I did eth0, and it set. [15:41] I am quite new to this OS. [15:42] I've installed netbeans by running sh command and it was installed but I cannot find it under add/remove application [15:42] erUSUL: do i need to restart network services? [15:42] hey; can anyone recommend a quite recent business / smartphone that will nicely sync with some calendar or scheduling app under ubuntu? or a great pda maybe? thanks [15:42] shank: and have that solved the problem ?? ^_^ [15:42] Can anyone shed some light on how to install a program that was originally based for windows? [15:42] rajec: Because add/remove only shows applications installed with apt. [15:42] erUSUL: still destination unreachable [15:42] i am trying to compile something on ubuntu. this seems to be a problem since there is a header missing [15:42] krauss:which program? [15:42] rajec: you shouldn't install packages like that if there is an Ubuntu package. 'sudo apt-get install netbeans' would have done it [15:42] shank: :| [15:43] !software > rajec [15:43] rajec, please see my private message [15:43] erUSUL: i'm beginning to dislike linux [15:43] thiebaude: Adobe flash player [15:43] For a laptop battery that lasts approximately 3 hours under normal word processing use - how long will the battery last while the computer's suspended?

[15:45] my problem is, that i can't go fullscreen in sites such as youtube... i've read a few forums regarding this topic but still didn't find the right answer [15:45] shank: sorry... i'm out of ideas ... maybe you can reload the driver... "sudo modprobe -r tg3 && sudo modprobe tg3" and see if that makes any diference? [15:45] uro1: If you want it to work under Firefox too: apt-get install mozilla-plugin-gnash [15:45] uro1, firefox??

[18:06] gpled: you want to replace your client? [18:06] sysop1972: i mean sudo [18:06] I tried gksudo gedit but nothing happened [18:06] aRahim, then it probably won't work for me :D [18:06] sysop1972: what happens when you run 'gksudo gedit /etc/fstab' in terminal? [18:07] outbackwifi: yes. im running ubuntu 8.04, and need to connect to exchange 2007 [18:07] * outbackwifi or vi /etc/fstab [18:07] merther: its probably a setting in yr client [18:07] gpled: isnt thunderbird or evolution good enuff? [18:07] I am rebooting because I did not reboot after formatting new drive. Maybe it was a glitc [18:07] sysop1972: hold on! [18:07] outbackwifi: evolution was, but it does not work with 2007 [18:07] I thought so too but I couldn't find anything in XChat [18:07] ok I am holding [18:07] gpled: wine is your best friend then [18:08] gpled: Evolution is your best bet.. it will *pretty* much work with Outlook OWA mode. (depending on what the exchange server allows) [18:08] sysop1972: if your /etc/fstab really isn't there, then you won't be able to boot. So let's be sure what's going on first. [18:08] outbackwifi: using virtualbox. but would like to go native [18:08] sysop1972: do you have a terminal open? [18:08] Omar Shoudl give it a try woth Live cd [18:08] i cannot use fdisk, it is unable to open hda [18:08] JayDee: yah, evolution stops at 2003 [18:08] omar dont now why it crashes [18:08] sysop1972: what is the OS you are on? [18:08] soundray: yes [18:08] ubuntu [18:08] :D [18:08] gpled: no, I've used Evolution with Exchange 2007. [18:09] how can i install real player [18:09] aRahim, no idea ! do you know a simple way to erase eveyrthing ? [18:09] sysop1972: 'cat /etc/fstab' should just list the file. Does that work? [18:09] Omar everything, the whle drive? [18:09] sysop1972: ls -l /etc/fstab [18:09] JayDee: when i connect, it tells me it will not work [18:09] omar_: try "sudo fdisk /dev/hda" [18:09] does that show anything at all [18:09] outbackwifi: please don't confuse [18:09] gpled: thats a first one for evolution "I wont work" !!! [18:10] soundray: ok u take this one === Guest29834 is now known as trucMuche [18:10] outbackwifi: :) [18:10] Omar do you dual boot with windows?

[18:10] can any one tell me how to install real player [18:10] omar_: how about /dev/sda, instead? [18:10] hi [18:11] sidewalk: install GParted [18:11] sysop1972: have you found out the device name of the new drive? [18:11] !realplayer [18:11] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [18:11] sipior, thx it is working :D [18:11] Omar sudo fdisk -l will giev you a good idea [18:11] JayDee: where you connecting to the imap service? [18:11] oh thanks [18:11] sound : should be sdb1 [18:11] but i cant install anything :D [18:11] Hi, I'm having a problem where apache2 (httpd) will not start, and doesn't report any errors during starting, stopping, nor in the log files or via the netstat monitoring command :[, any ideas? [18:12] sysop1972: that's a partition device name. So you've already partitioned it? [18:12] yes [18:12] aRahim, fdisk can access to /dev/sda but what must i do then ? [18:12] there also isn't a httpd process in the 'task manager' nor one seen through the netstat [18:12] sysop1972: have you formatted it, too? [18:12] v6F3hY-Ufm: what does apachectl configtest tell you? [18:12] yup [18:12] i have fdisk specific command line [18:12] What kind of themes should i download? [18:13] and I created a mount point [18:13] any can help me? [18:13] sysop1972: and have you checked that it mounts okay? [18:13] I am trying to create automount now [18:13] v6F3hY-Ufm: do you have apache installed? [18:13] sysop1972: let's try a manual mount before you do that. [18:13] ok [18:13] sysop1972: 'sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt' [18:13] there isn't a apachectl command [18:13] yes, it wouldn't start otherwise, no? [18:14] v6F3hY-Ufm: isnt that your problem; apache not starting? [18:14] should /mnt be substituted with the mount point i created? [18:14] I'm sorry, I got disconnected after I asked my question. Did anyone respond to my question I asked eqrlier? [18:15] apache doesn't seem to actually start, or it may start and stop very quickly, but it doesn't report any errors while starting via the normal start command, and this started happening a few days ago, before which it was working fine [18:15] s/eqrlier/earlier/ [18:15] Polarina, your question was ? [18:15] sysop1972: this should come back with no error. Then do a 'df -h /mnt' to see how much space there is [18:15] omar_: After resuming from a suspend, the computer asks me for my password. How do I make it so it won't ask me for it? [18:16] thx for all i can load gparted again :D [18:16] Polarina, wait i'll check out something [18:16] thanks god === ascott is now known as ascott_afk === aguai_ is now known as aguai [18:17] fdisk is such an efficient partitioning soft :D [18:17] v6F3hY-Ufm: if i remember correctly, it is also possible to run apache in the foreground [18:17] v6F3hY-Ufm: should be -F [18:17] v6F3hY-Ufm: this should throw some light if your /var/log/apache2/error.log isnt showing anything [18:17] place that after the end? [18:17] like [18:18] soundray : ok I assume it mounted. I went to the folder where I set the mountpoint and it has more free space that the rest [18:18] yes [18:18] !irc [18:18] Polarina: open gconf-editor, find the key /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/suspend and un-tick it [18:18] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [18:18] soundray: Thank you. [18:18] Polarina, sorry i had an idea and it wasnt the correct parameter ! i cannot help you further [18:18] soundray: gave the solution [18:19] can any one help me?? [18:19] what can i ues to im and cam for yahoo ssome one be for sayd gyachi but the gyachi page dont have a noth infor [18:19] Hi, is there a very simple guide for someone who is afraid of computers to get onto irc? Something like open xchat, click the button type stuff? [18:19] No mumbo jumbo [18:19] sysop1972: now, to edit fstab, try 'sudo nano /etc/fstab' in terminal [18:19] "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start -f" ? [18:19] steveire: do you use firefox? [18:20] hi [18:20] steveire: perhaps on youtube? [18:20] outbackwifi: Yes, but it's not for me. It's for a friend. [18:20] v6F3hY-Ufm: nope /path/to/httpd -F [18:20] I use kde, but he got a ubuntu/gnome cd, which I haven't used [18:20] do you know how to count the lines of all files recursivly ? [18:20] steveire: try chatzilla [18:21] varox: i guess i do [18:21] soundray: nope.. it opened my password box but after I entered it nothing happened [18:21] steveire: its very easy [18:21] I to give him a link with screenshots and get him into this chatroom. He's having trouble playing dvds [18:21] Varox: find . -type f | xargs cat | wc -l [18:21] sysop1972: what do you mean by 'password box'? [18:21] dooglus: thanks [18:21] Hey guys! :) [18:21] aRahim: Is xchat preconfigured to use freenode and enter this channel? [18:21] hey chris [18:21] for the sudo password [18:21] aRahim: Because I don't think it was the last time I checked [18:21] steveire: you need to configure xchat to do that [18:22] outbackwifi: isn't that the same thing? [18:22] just type /server irc.freenode.net and then type join #ubuntu Thats it. Simple [18:22] I got a question, which is.. more updated, glade or glade-gtk? [18:22] v6F3hY-Ufm: nope [18:22] sysop1972: if you entered the command that I gave you, there shouldn't have been any 'box' [18:22] steveire just type /server irc.freenode.net and then type join #ubuntu Thats it. Simple [18:22] outbackwifi: konversation comes preconfigured to do it. Anyway, Is there a simple screenshot guide? [18:22] aRahim: I think you'll need a slash before the join there [18:23] soundray : I typed what you said.. [18:23] steveire: xchat-gnome connects to #ubuntu by default [18:23] outbackwifi: then what do you mean? [18:23] hello there! sorry to bother you all, I'm kinda ignorant when it comes to this, I just installed Ubuntu but unfortunately it doesn't detect the network card (which is even beeping and was working before)... any easy way to solve this ?! [18:23] aRahim: It's not for me. I have to send an email to a friend on how to do it, but he's not online now for me to talk him through it [18:23] soundray: something is starting to open now.. [18:23] v6F3hY-Ufm: I mean, locate the httpd binary and spawn it using this command [18:23] soundray: not sure whats with the lag.. [18:23] v6F3hY-Ufm: which httpd [18:23] its just a 3 step guide really [18:23] sysop1972: did you type sudo or gksudo? [18:23] v6F3hY-Ufm: should tell you the location of httpd [18:24] stevie just choose a nick from the chat client and enter the commands [18:24] soundray: The last time I opened xchat, I was confronted with a modal dialog, I had to choose a server and I had to choose a channel. That's fine for me, but he won't have a clue. Are you saying it's different noew? [18:24] soundray: hmmm not sure if it is going to work... its all gray. [18:24] outback wifi: doesn't say nothin? I guess that means it has disappeared (or uninstalled) somehow? [18:24] aRahim: It's not for me. I'm here already :) [18:24] steveire: I can't speak about xchat. xchat-gnome is a different program, and it comes preconfigured as I said. [18:24] v6F3hY-Ufm: youve hit the nail on the head [18:25] steveire: i know :D [18:25] "sudo which httpd" [18:25] v6F3hY-Ufm: so please install it [18:25] sound: sudo [18:25] soundray: Ah, thanks [18:25] hi all [18:25] i have a trivial problem [18:25] soundray : there it is finally open [18:25] sysop1972: what does the terminal show at this moment? [18:25] i use ubuntu and there is no root.......its the only distro i could get to install properly though. Here's the problem I'm running into: there's a configuration file to change the network workgroup, but I can't edit it because it is read only. It says the owner of the fille is root. No root. Any suggestions? [18:25] steveire: xchat will pop up a Network List and he can select irc.freenode.net and start chatting [18:25] but its bugging me a lot [18:25] sysop1972: what's open? [18:25] Ghufran, what is your problem ? [18:25] vagilinux: sudo is your friend [18:25] soundray: doh, now it is gray again [18:25] i need to dtop Ubuntu to beep whenever i press tab for completion [18:25] steveire: make sure he gets the package "xchat-gnome" instead of "xchat". as soundray said xchat-gnome automatically connects to ubuntu server [18:26] Vagilinux: The root account exists, but is locked. Use sudo to gain root access. [18:26] stop* [18:26] Ghufran: please say what it is and keep it on one line [18:26] !sudo > Vagilinux [18:26] Vagilinux, please see my private message === Winston_Smith is now known as Winston_SmithVT [18:26] outbackwifi: do you know what is the reinstall command, because it doesn't want to install what it already says is installed? [18:26] hi.. what's the fastest way to compile a new kernel and install a new kernel in ubuntu? i am comparing it with fedora, where it is relatively quicker to change the kernel. Currently, for ubuntu, i am following make-kpkg method.. is that the best option? [18:26] Ghufran: System-Preferences-Sound -- last tab [18:26] Pici: thx [18:26] !sudo [18:26] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [18:26] !kernel > sumit [18:26] sumit, please see my private message [18:26] v6F3hY-Ufm: sudo apt-get remove apache2 [18:26] v6F3hY-Ufm: sudo apt-get install apache2 [18:26] sysop1972: what does the terminal show at this moment? [18:27] soundray, awesome. thanks [18:27] Ghufran: disabke the system sunds [18:27] soundray: sorry you were right.. I did GKSUDO... the lag was gedit opening from earlier [18:27] yea aRahim.. got that! [18:27] Ghufran: disable the system sounds * [18:27] sysop1972: okay, so where do we pick up? [18:27] outback: that is the command I used, it says already installed, and does nothing [18:27] soundray: now I have it open in nano [18:28] sysop1972: good. Do you know what to do from the guide? [18:28] outbackwifi: it says "apache2" is already the newest version [18:28] when you say remove? [18:28] soundray: yup thanks [18:29] Ghufran: turn show-all-if-ambiguous on in inputrc [18:30] v6F3hY-Ufm: sudo apt-get remove apache2 cannot say its the newest version [18:30] thats illogical [18:30] outbackwifi: so overall it had no effect [18:30] popey: what if I want something from a standard ubuntu repo? universe/multiverse is OK [18:30] popey: sorry. don't know why that came back [18:31] outbackwifi: I did remove, and reinstall, and then start, but it is not appearing in the system monitor, and which httpd produces no results [18:31] Whats the difference between GLADE and GLADE-GTK? Is one better than the other / more updated? [18:31] dooglus: should show-all-if-ambiguous be in inputrc by default? [18:31] v6F3hY-Ufml, : is your system monitor set to view all running processes? (View - All Processes) [18:31] I have to buy a new graphic card should I stay with nVidia or go to ATI with the new drivers? [18:32] v6F3hY-Ufm: what does tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log tell you? [18:32] What are you going to use it for Parallx? [18:32] eirik_: yes [18:32] What directory has the kernel source code? === mib_5xjl22 is now known as blink0 [18:32] irc.ubuntu.it [18:32] soundray: only if you want bash to show all completions when the completion is ambiguous [18:32] powertool08 : [18:32] soundray: the default is to beep on the first tab, and complete on the 2nd [18:32] powertool08 : /usr/src/ [18:32] chris062689: I need 3d acceleration and get a powerfull one [18:32] powertool08 : But you need the linux-source-* package [18:32] #ubuntu.it [18:32] soundray: I don't think ~/.inputrc exists by default - but I don't remember [18:32] For what program though? Parallx? [18:33] pistache: thanks, and I have it [18:33] I mean, most 3d games don't require that much power (on linux) [18:33] !pastebin [18:33] 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) [18:33] Ghufran: run this, then start a new terminal, and the beeping will be gone: echo 'set show-all-if-ambiguous on' >> ~/.inputrc [18:33] from blender to gimp (with really high resolution images) to games [18:33] dooglus: I see. Can you tell me what it is that governs the behaviour of Alt-# commenting the current line? [18:33] soundray: how do I save with nano? [18:33] v6F3hY-Ufml: try writing /etc/init.d/apache2 start [18:33] to see if the apache daemon is running [18:33] soundray: the hash key? or does the # represent a number? [18:33] sysop1972: should tell you at the bottom. Ctrl-O to write out, I think [18:33] Parallx I got a 9600GT and it runs great, though I think the only diff between 8800 and 9600 is the DX10 [18:34] chris062689: i heard about new ati drivers or that they were going to be more open [18:34] dooglus: no, I mean the hash key [18:34] what can i ues to im and cam for yahoo ssome one be for sayd gyachi but the gyachi page dont have a noth infor [18:34] sysop1972: CTRL+O [18:34] ok dooglus thanks [18:34] but DX10 is not working on linux so.... [18:34] soundray: as in shift-3? what does it do? [18:34] yeah, so I'd go with the 8800 [18:34] or 8600 [18:34] chris062689: stick with nvidia then, right? [18:34] yeah, nvidia > ati on Linux. [18:35] You'll have to use Envy with the newer cards [18:35] But in Ibex the drivers for them are in the hardware manager. [18:35] outbackwifi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/44608 [18:35] chris062689: why is that? does ATI suck at OpenGL? === ascott_afk is now known as ascott === basshunter_ is now known as YahWek [18:35] thanks [18:35] hi, does anyone konw how to use ntfsundelete ? it's an emergency :/ thanks [18:35] dooglus: no, what I mean is this: when I hit Alt-# (not a number, literally the hash key), it comments the current line and goes to a new one (as if I had done Ctrl-A # Return). I like this behaviour, but I don't get it everywhere. [18:35] soundray: it looks like M-# is bound to insert-comment by default === mike is now known as Zaiden [18:36] soundray: "man readline", search for M-# [18:36] dooglus: where can I look up such bindings, please? [18:36] dooglus: cool, thank you! [18:36] v6F3hY-Ufml: looks like your php5 installation is broken [18:36] what can i ues to im and cam for yahoo some one be for sayd gyachi but the gyachi page dont have a noth infor [18:36] v6F3hY-Ufml: why dont you reinstall it? [18:36] i think those errors are unrelated [18:37] any time sound [18:37] Is it really a good idea to store a Li-Ion battery in the fridge (4°C) while not in use? [18:37] When I installed wine, it didn't give me a wine menu in the applications menu. It does now, but it doesn't have the wine logo, and it doesn't give options to configure wine or remove programs, only the program folders. Is there a way to fix this? [18:37] soundray: I guess M-# will do that in any program which uses readline for its input [18:37] * outbackwifi thinks polarina could use his fridge for beer and not lion batteries [18:38] dooglus: strangely, bash puts the commented line in the history, but mysql discards it. [18:38] Zaiden: Open up winecfg. [18:38] outbackwifi: :P [18:38] What if I want to uninstall wine programs? [18:38] outbackwifi: Wikipedia recommended it, and to have the battery charged at 40% before storing. [18:38] Polarina: no. NiMH and Alkaline cells last longer in the fridge. LiIon are best stored at room temperature, charged to about half of their capacity. [18:38] Polarina: http://www.batteryuniversity.com/images/parttwo-34.gif [18:38] outbackwifi: Sounds odd to me. [18:39] polarina: what does? [18:39] hello [18:39] Anyone knowing how to use ntfsundelete in ubuntu to recover all files of a partition ? I misused rm command :( thanks [18:39] i cant set the theme style i want on ubuntu [18:39] where can i go to get help ? [18:39] any im let me ues cam and voice [18:39] * outbackwifi wishes differentreality all the best [18:39] soundray: I guess that what to story in the history might well be application dependent, rather than a feature of readline itself [18:39] heh outbackwifi tnx :S [18:40] where to go to get help with themes on ubuntu ? [18:40] Polarina: perhaps the wikipedia author lives in tropical climates, in which case that advice is probably correct [18:40] dooglus: it must be. [18:40] soundray: Yeah. [18:40] raw: gnome-look.org [18:40] I'm running 8.04LTS. When a New Window is created by Firefox, it is drawn over the top of the previous window. How can I get new windows to cascade, ie: shifted down and to the right? [18:40] raw: each of the themes has an installation guide [18:41] Is pidgin in the default ubuntu install? [18:41] What would cause random apps to crash in 8.04, or upon launch appear with a blank window without the UI widgets? [18:41] dooglus: sometimes I wonder whether it's really worth configuring things to that level of detail... [18:41] steveire: Yes. [18:41] remove the add on [18:41] outbackwifi, i went there i found the theme but no help for installation [18:41] What's a sound size for a /boot partition? [18:41] Aethelred: that behavior should not be limited to firefox; if you open multiple terminals it would happen too [18:41] JayDee: first thing to exclude is bad RAM. Run memtest86 from the grub menu for a few hours [18:41] hasiba: i wouldnt waste more than 128 MB [18:41] hasiba: you shouldn't need a boot partition [18:41] soundray: did you see control-U in bash? it does something similar, but instead of commenting the current line, it deletes it and makes it available in control-Y for later pasting [18:42] outbackwifi: that's not what's happening on my box. [18:42] any im let me ues cam and voice [18:42] #ubuntu-de [18:42] cool: kopete [18:42] cool, try aMsn [18:42] dooglus: :) kind of like Ctrl-A Ctrl-K, which I use all the time... [18:42] soundray: Is there a way I could get some sort of info on what this is doing? like a log file.. it has even happened to GDM. [18:42] soundray: I run all my command-line stuff inside an Emacs shell, so I get a totally consistant history/editing interface for everything, rather than having to worry whether mysql/bash/python/etc... offer the same interface [18:43] dont work is amsn for all im? [18:43] outbackwifi, i extracted the theme and copy paste it in ~/.themes folder but while trying to change the theme it doesnt appears in my themes. [18:43] JayDee: try the dmesg command and look in /var/log/syslog [18:43] raw: you need to install the theme using the theme wizard [18:43] raw [18:43] raw: dont extract it on your own [18:43] private network [18:44] outbackwifi, i did tar zxf theme.name.tar.gz [18:44] soundray: system was stable before on 7.10, on upgrade to 8.04 problems started happening immediately. dmesg /var/log is clean. [18:44] cool: amsn is for MSN only [18:44] So when creating a separate home partition, no home directory gets created in the root partition, right? [18:44] dmesg AND various stuff in /var/log I mean. [18:44] dooglus: yes... I think I remember you telling me that before. I have my special little trouble with emacs, though [18:44] I made pipeline with gst-launch. Now I can hear sound from my speakers, when I talking somwthing into microphon. How can I broke this pipeline? === southpark is now known as Guest37049 [18:44] outbackwifi, where can i find theme wizard to install it? in themes it says install. while trying to install it i got an error. [18:44] soundray: it's not for everyone, that's for sure [18:45] bobertdos: root's home will still be in the root partition, and an empty /home mount point will also be created in the root partition [18:46] any for yahoo im? [18:46] cool: pidgin [18:46] raw: this seems pretty old --> http://www.msccompcasts.com/2005/05/how-to-install-themes.html [18:46] cool: kopete [18:46] cool try yahoo messenger for linux [18:46] cool: ah - but no cam/voice in pidgin [18:46] cool: but pidgin doesnt have cam support. its a nice all-in-one IM tho [18:46] piding dont do cams or voice [18:47] thx [18:47] i will take a llok [18:47] look [18:47] cool: skype for linux for full voice and cam support [18:47] cool, try yahoo messenger for linux [18:47] dooglus: I use it for most of my editing, but I hit some annoyances that I can neither explain nor debug. For example, I get cursor placement problems when I use it in gnome-terminal -- I have to hit Ctrl-L all the time to be sure that the display contents and buffer contents match. [18:47] !dvd [18:47] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [18:47] soundray: which emacs? [18:47] dooglus: So if all goes well, I assume the installer puts an entry in fstab for home to mount to that point, yes? [18:47] that dont have voice or cams [18:48] soundray: oh, and why would you want to run emacs in a gnome-terminal, rather than using a gtk-linked emacs? [18:48] bobertdos: right [18:48] dooglus: 21.3.1 on a remote feisty machine [18:48] soundray: oh, I see - because it's remote and you don't want to do X forwarding [18:48] soundray: I run a gtk emacs locally, and use TRAMP to edit remote files [18:49] soundray: but that's not efficient if the remote files are huge [18:49] dooglus: I could do X forwarding, but I like the fact that with GNU screen, I can start editing something at work and can pick up exactly where I was from home [18:49] dooglus: Okay, good, all I wanted to know, thanks! [18:50] * Polarina uses laptops for servers. [18:50] soundray: does the problem with cursor positioning only happen once you've moved your screen from work to home? could it be the changing size of the screen that's messing things up? [18:51] * outbackwifi thinks polarina has considerate customers [18:51] JayDee: one way to narrow down the problem a bit would be to use a gutsy live CD and a hardy one for a while, to see if and when the problem occurs and whether it is perhaps limited to your harddisk installation [18:51] hi, when my machine boots the splash screen is off by half. when i log in ubuntu automagically corrects it and aligned my resolution properly. how can I fix the original problem? I tried redoing my dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to see if maybe its defualt settings got changed somewhere but that did not work. [18:52] soundray: This is actually a office deployment of Ubuntu. We upgraded all the systems and i've only had issues with this one. [18:52] mik3: which splash screen? [18:52] outbackwifi: the log on screen [18:52] dooglus: it could well be. I notice a problem with 'ls' column output as well, but mutt and other programs are fine [18:52] mik3: gdm? [18:52] soundray: it does have a radeon x1300 card, all the rest have intel or nvidia. [18:52] outbackwifi: the log on screen and the ubuntu boot progress screen [18:52] outbackwifi: yeah gdm [18:53] JayDee: tried switching from ati to fglrx or vice versa? [18:53] mik3: arent they two different things? the boot progress screen has got nothing to do with X [18:53] soundray: also, I don't think it would be ram, because all the apps crash the same way. blank windows without the UI elements. or.. stop responding (ie stop drawing the UI elements) [18:53] soundray: I did move it from vesa, that it was on to fglrx. [18:53] Hey all [18:53] soundray: no change. [18:53] outbackwifi: What do you mean? Laptops are the best - builtin UPS, acceptable performance, easy to reorganise the internal structure. We have laptops stacked on top of eachother. [18:54] outbackwifi: well whatever, either way it's misaligned and i want to fix it. [18:54] JayDee: I doubt that it's the graphics' fault then [18:54] polarina: acceptable performance? [18:54] back again........why would some WMV files play and some will not...odd [18:54] outbackwifi: And they eat up very little place. Sure, it's more expensive, but all the extra features it brings - you can't deny it. :) [18:54] rich_: youve run into mr gates DRM [18:54] soundray: we tried to test his session as he was upgraded by having him login to another system (using exported nfs home's). [18:54] lol outbackwifi [18:54] too true [18:54] mr gates? [18:55] hmmm [18:55] soundray: he had no problems with that so its something on this system itself.. but damm if I can figure it out. [18:55] can anyone please help me ...i havent moved on with even trying out ubuntu for the last seven hours ... here is my forum thread... please if anyone has some times please help me out :http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=913982 [18:55] mik3: what is your graphics config? [18:55] hello, Do you know if main site Ubuntu's ISO is "patched" ? [18:55] and what is a DRM? [18:55] soundray: when it gets into its error state, dmesg, and logs are clear. processor is idle, and ram is generally 30% used. [18:56] yes its a iso [18:56] rich_: Digital Rights Management [18:56] ah yes...that [18:56] Rats! [18:56] rich_: exactly [18:57] soundray: any reason why you're using feisty? I think the bug you're seeing has been fixed since [18:57] looks like bil screwed u too rich [18:57] :( [18:57] lool [18:57] o_O [18:57] lol....ya thats true [18:57] soundray: its a real mind bender of a problem.. we have 3 really good linux it people here and nobody can figure it out.. :) [18:57] * outbackwifi thinks rich_ got those files off his windoze friends [18:57] outbackwifi: It's Digital Restriction Management.

[18:58] dooglus: it's out of my control (mass feisty deployment in university Department of Computing)... but it's good to know that it's a bug [18:58] can anyone help me please installing ubuntu ?? [18:58] and a bunch of other codecs to play the files [18:58] soundray: it sounds familiar anyway - I reported something very like it a few years ago, and haven't seen it recently [18:58] polarina --> Definition: Digital Rights Management (DRM) a system of solutions created or designed as a means to control the unauthorized duplication and illegal ... [18:58] polarina: google it [18:58] soundray: I believe 'xterm' doesn't have the bug, so that's a possible workaround I suppose [18:59] outbackwifi: wiki? [18:59] everywhere [18:59] outbackwifi: Richard Stallman says it's Digital Restriction Management - And he's always right, no matter what he says! [18:59] about 400 mil hits [18:59] polarina: if you say so [18:59] * Polarina thanks outbackwifi for listening. [18:59] thats the effect of DRM: [18:59] lol [18:59] its the same thing just worded diff [19:00] has anyone tried Elisa....software [19:00] thats all [19:00] not anyone sister [19:00] nope, what is it? [19:00] * outbackwifi would rather stick to ubuntu support here [19:00] it says it plays WMV files and a bunch of other stuff [19:00] dooglus: another emacs question if I may: I used to be able to enter the £ symbol -- somehow I had to switch the input mode by hitting Ctrl-\ -- do you know what I'm talking about? [19:01] Is gstreamer pipeline becomes active after gst-launch close? [19:01] it has not worked for me [19:01] soundray: not really. the question mark symbol? [19:02] dooglus: :) no, sorry, the currency symbol for the British pound [19:03] Can any one please help me ? [19:03] anyone? [19:03] not me [19:03] cheeky:what's the problem?

Transport endpoint is not connected [19:08] *ti = it [19:09] any question ... just dissapeared ... again for the millionth time .. andihave spend 7 freaking hours trying to get this .. up and running [19:09] when I try to ping or ssh some machine from the network using the name it don't work, but smb://machineName works. can I make the machines on the network to work using the machine name? [19:09] differentreality: what is the context? [19:09] anyone know of a nice channel that would know about some Makefile.am debuggin' eh? keeps generating bogus rules... [19:09] I showed the ubuntu livecd for a friend but it was painfully slow...But he can run windows XP on it..ideas? why can this be? [19:10] dxdemetriou: Not as far as I know. [19:10] askand: windowsXP off liveCD? [19:10] dooglus: I get a pound symbol on the left of the status line now, but S-3 seems to be bound to backward-word [19:10] The reason why it works by SMB is because Windows uses netbios which resolves machine names to IP addresses. [19:10] outbackwifi: nah ubuntu [19:10] Something which I think Linux doesn't do. [19:10] askand: are you comparing apples to apples? [19:11] does anyone know about .. thsi problem ... soi cant get my old computer back .. coz ubuntu screwed me over [19:11] outbackwifi, i run ubuntu and I have a ntfs partition. I used ntfsundelete on that partition, because I accidentally execurted rm * (ntfsundelete was unsuccessful unfortunately). I tried to access the partition and I got this message. I tried to mount it again and I get this message along with a couple more, as well as I get a message saying that according to mtab my partition is already mounted. [19:11] outbackwifi: ? I just want to know what the reason can be that the livecd is so slow [19:11] askand: running anything off liveCD depends a lot on the RAM available [19:11] any one? [19:11] Orbixx, ok, but isn't somehow funny to connect with ssh using windows but not from linux? [19:11] outbackwifi: ok so the probems might disappear if he installs ubuntu? [19:11] dxdemetriou: That didn't make any sense. [19:11] askand: sure [19:11] cheeky: have you tried disabling RAID in the BIOS? Please give an answer that makes sense [19:12] outbackwifi: can it have something to do with a slow cdreader? [19:12] I am trying to finish up a preseed network install and everything is working correctly except for the root password, I am using this line: "d-i passwd/root-password-crypted password *" but it leaves a directory listing in the password field in my /etc/shadow.

[19:14] I don't know much about but, is there any way to use netbios in linux for taking the machine names? [19:14] dxdemetriou: you dont need netbios for SSH [19:14] maybe so .. butubuntu is DEfinitly not a Os for someone who can just pick itup .. i have to say [19:14] yahoo chat works fine [19:14] dooglus: ha, on my local machine it works (emacs22 and hardy) [19:14] dxdemetriou: even if the SSH server is on a windoze machine [19:15] as i might be the unlucky .. one [19:15] How do i add rhythmbox icon to my desktop?

[21:31] inside ubuntu, I write: mount -r -t ufs -o ufstype=ufs2 /dev/sda2 /media/ttt [21:32] and it works fine, the only thing is that it only mounts the root partition of my freebsd slice [21:32] bobertdos: I sure do [21:32] sarthor: it appears to be a user generated shell script (looking at it here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790) I have no idea if it is safe, from a quick glance over it it looks fine to use === steven__ is now known as StevenX [21:33] krauss: Then I would suggest downloading the LiveCD iso for Hardy and making your own Hardy disc.

[21:33]  I downloaded the Kubuntu 8.04.1 ISO and was installing it in Virtual Box ,, I got a popup window saying that the session was locked and its asking for a password to unlock it..... whats the password?

[21:35] hi, my ubuntu stopped displaying message about usb pendrives i put, like when i unmount then it no longer appears the notification to not remove it, how i restore that? [21:35] dep: well its the live session ... and the user name is ubuntu ... [21:35] krauss: It's not so bad, but I WOULD suggest starting from scratch. [21:35] zetheroo: oh, LiveCD? Interesting....I'm assuming you tried to just use a blank password, right? [21:36] Hey, every time I want to mount a block device to my file system, I have to create the folder I'll mount it to beforehand. How come the folder isn't created/deleted automatically once I mount/unmount, since it's just an abstraction anyway? [21:36] krauss: 5.10 is no longer supported anyways... it is strongly reccomended to upgrade your version... [21:36] dep: I pressed a key combination and the window popped up saying the session has been locked ... asking for a password [21:36] I have a directory, for exemple project/ which I want to be shared by 10 users. So i've created a group, "write", and I've added each user to the group. After that, I've done a sudo chown -R :write project/. Then, everything is ok. But if a user (toto), create a file in this directory, it doesn't belong to the group, but to toto. So the other members can't edit it. How can I do ?

[21:44] hey folks - anybody tried installing Ubuntu 8.04 on a ThinkPad T400 laptop? Got my new laptop today, can't get Ubuntu installed. Got the Intel x4500 integrated video card.

[21:45] zetheroo: ooooh, sorry, I missed the fact that you were in VB [21:45] @Zeus, I did that too - it loads the kernel, tries to start X but fails because of video driver issues I guess? ... and I end up in a shell prompt again [21:45] CapitalT_ : can you write a example for me , for example i need to download this directory : http://www.soe.ucsc.edu/~pohl/C++BD/ , what should write? [21:45] <_Zeus_> bernrdo: hmmmmmmmmm that's bad [21:45] Does anyone know the solution to getting skype to not have the audio playback error under ubuntu 8.04 64bit? [21:45] jrib: ACL seem to be a little bit too complicated, I have to change partitions settings etc... I don't want to change system stability. [21:45] Anyone ever use LXDE? I added firefox to the panel - but it has an X with a box- the icon works but no right click change icon? Any suggestion. [21:45] It was *just* working this morning.. for me [21:46] blue112: I know of no other way [21:46] karname: http://www.httrack.com/html/fcguide.html [21:46] <_Zeus_> bernrdo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2276536 [21:46] @Zeus: it does load X and it gives me the option to configure the video card ("Low graphics mode" or something like that) I configure it & press continue, and it just dies / goes back to the shell [21:46] jrib: Can't I set a sort of "umask" for this directory which applies right and group to every file created in ? [21:46] hi [21:46] karname: you probably won't use the gazillion options [21:46] <_Zeus_> yeah try what that thread says [21:46] deb: yeah [21:46] <_Zeus_> blue112: chmod? [21:46] dep: yeah [21:47] _Zeus_: ? [21:47] groovy baby [21:47] hello [21:47] <_Zeus_> blue112: chmod is hoow you set permissions [21:47] _Zeus_ : I have a directory, for exemple project/ which I want to be shared by 10 users. So i've created a group, "write", and I've added each user to the group. After that, I've done a sudo chown -R :write project/. Then, everything is ok. But if a user (toto), create a file in this directory, it doesn't belong to the group, but to toto. So the other members can't edit it. How can I do ? [21:47] I created a swap partition after I installed ubuntu, how to I get it to swapon automatically? [21:47] yeah [21:47] dep: well i went ahead and reset it [21:47] blue112: yes, using ACLs. You can do the group thing by setting setguid on the directory, but you can't do anything about a umask just for that directory [21:47] <_Zeus_> blue112: ohhhhh [21:47] when installing kde4 which packages should I install? [21:48] zacha: Add an entry into fstab for the partition. [21:48] peace [21:48] zetheroo: oh, well, you just want to use the host key instead of ctrl-alt to access the ttys, for example, instead of "ctrl-alt-F6" hit "host key-F6" [21:48] zetheroo: doh [21:48] @Zeus: THANKS! Reading & trying. [21:48] zacha I can tell you what you need to do- but I had to have help for my system- You have to edit the Fstab file [21:48] <_Zeus_> bernrdo: cool [21:48] dep: thankfully the install was complete [21:48] _Zeus_: So you know how to ? [21:48] <_Zeus_> bernrdo: some of the previous settings they reference will be different (like "nv") but you should be able to find it [21:48] bye folks [21:48] <_Zeus_> blue112: no [21:48] <_Zeus_> sry [21:49] i don't httrack [21:49] zetheroo: excellent, disaster narrowly averted [21:49] <_Zeus_> blue112: i have no experience with a multiuser setup [21:49] dep: ha ... yeah [21:49] jrib: Yes, but I don't want to change partitions settings, that's a little dangerous... [21:49] blue112: not really... [21:49] <_Zeus_> blue112: he said nothing about a partition setting [21:49] blue112: your just adding an option to your fstab [21:49] you're, ugh I hate that [21:49] I had to add one line to my fstab (sudo gedit /etc/fstab) [21:49] <_Zeus_> redvamp128: and? [21:49] ree [21:49] jrib: And how can I know a group id with it name ? [21:50] you have to tell it where the file is [21:50] by partition number [21:50] I can show you the line I added and you can go from there [21:50] <_Zeus_> redvamp128: as in /dev/sdxn? [21:50] <_Zeus_> redvamp128: please show it [21:50] my new swap is on 2cnd hard drive partition 3 [21:50] so yours may be different [21:50] <_Zeus_> redvamp128: then it should be /dev/sdb2 [21:50] blue112: getent group GROUP [21:50] Wow.

[21:51] blue112: you can just remount [21:51] nloding: what info? the password? [21:51] (i've added it to /etc/fstab) [21:52] <_Zeus_> nloding: you can't just read the password [21:52] <_Zeus_> it's encrypted [21:52] i know i can't just read it [21:52] jrib: I can do it on / ? [21:52] @Zeus: yeah .. well ... under Device, I didn't even have an entry for Driver. I added "vesa" and it's loading X now - seems to work. Will keep up to date. Thx!

[21:52] hello, I want to enable remote syslog, for that there is the -r option for syslog .. but how can I make syslog only listen on a specific interface/ip ? [21:52] say i have two identical systems with ubutnu hardy heron; if i reset the pwd on one, and copy the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files to the other, will that reset it password too? [21:52] yup, works - thx a ton :) [21:52] <_Zeus_> nloding: .... i doubt it [21:53] <_Zeus_> i don't think so [21:53] <_Zeus_> nloding: why not just boot to recovery mode and reset it??? [21:53] it worked in freebsd and openbsd [21:53] <_Zeus_> you don't need to input the password when booting to recovery mode [21:53] nloding: just reset it by hand ... carfully i might add [21:53] lets say i have 100 units and need to reset them all [21:53] and i want a shortcut :) [21:54] <_Zeus_> nloding: do you know the root password? [21:54] when they were freebsd, i copied master.passwd, pwd.db, spwd.db, and psswd and it reset the units [21:54] yes [21:54] <_Zeus_> oh, then that should work i guess [21:54] <_Zeus_> i thought you forgot it [21:54] Hello i have one quesstion.

[21:54] I have two wireless networks I need to configure at two office yesterday for this laptop I'm on. Is there any way to pre-configure network manager before I get on site? [21:54] nloding: you can do an automated script to do them from plain text file i suppose [21:54] blue112: use -o remount not sure if you also need to include all the options there. Try [21:54] yasumoto: Xubuntu also uses the same ones ? [21:54] i'm not that familiar with unix security, so i don't know if freebsd operates the same ... [21:54] <_Zeus_> yes [21:54] definitely: yeah, it's all in /etc/apt/sourcs.list [21:55] Aplpha232: i would be using scp to copy the files ...... ? [21:55] nloding: well if the machines are clones (all software installed is the same) may work the problem is /etc/shadow may differ from machine to machine depending on software installed and users [21:55] definitely: the differences between x/k/ubuntu are just the graphical desktop environment [21:55] hardware may be different, but users/software is identical [21:55] nloding: yes, if the machines have the same accounts, copying /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow should do the trick [21:55] wt?

[22:19] :O [22:19] I've got a webdav share, and files that users make keep getting pushed to lost+found. Anyone seen this before? [22:19] strategy, the kernel is the core, w/o it can't do anything [22:20] ok, I've added a second Sata hard drive to my computer but i don't know how to reach it and format it [22:20] jadams check your svn config (?) [22:20] Drk_Guy, thats what i thought. Moushira said it booted up and told her the kernel is missing !? [22:20] livingdaylight, install gparted and use that [22:20] strategy, but, if you don't want to reinstall, you can repair ubuntu the gentoo way [22:20] !gparted | livingdaylight [22:20] livingdaylight: 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 [22:20] blue112: so te recapitulate change users umask to make files they create writtable for the group and use the "sudo chmod g+s write" to make files within write inherit the group [22:20] Drk_Guy, Wrong person. My ubuntu is working great atm. [22:20] strategy, messing up with rm -rf, right? [22:20] Drk_Guy, Wrong person. My ubuntu is working great atm. [22:20] Drk_Guy, you mean Moushira [22:20] FreshUbuntuNoob, sanx... you're no noob, i can tell :D [22:21] strategy, lol [22:21] livingdaylight, I am a noob :p [22:21] livingdaylight: use gparted [22:21] erUSUL: How can I change users umask ? [22:21] _Zeus_, I just had to reboot to make sure I could still boot off the Xubuntu install disk... I could [22:21] anyone here know how to get the panel a curve edge? [22:21] gnome-panel [22:21] strategy, still, for Moushira to repair his system, he would need to recompile a kernel [22:21] blue112: "umask whatever" on their .bashrc [22:21] _Zeus_, it's odd, it just not showing up when I boot [22:21] erUSUL, i expected to find it by default under System [22:21] strategy, and that's definitively not for noobs [22:21] Drk_Guy, yeah, i was just wondering about the kernel and booting and crap [22:21] livingdaylight: system>Admin>Partiton>Editor [22:21] hi, I have done the following: sudo apt-get install rar ; sudo ln -fs /usr/bin/rar /usr/bin/unrar , but Archive manager still doesn't recognize rar files? [22:21] ya :O [22:21] blue112, in ~/.bashrc , use umask 002 to have files saved as group writable [22:22] erUSUL, yes, i don't have that [22:22] erUSUL: Actually they doesn't have .bashrc cause they all have the same home directory. [22:22] Drk_Guy, not really, just download the deb, extract and put in place [22:22] bonk_: just install the actual unrar and get rid of your symlink [22:22] strategy, Bios loads GRUB, GRUB loads kernel and runs it [22:22] livingdaylight: sudo apt-get install gparted [22:22] anyone here know how to get the panel a curve edge? [22:22] Drk_Guy, yep [22:22] gnome-panel [22:22] nickrud, chrooting [22:22] nickrud, that's complex [22:22] blue112: /etc/bash.bashrc ?? [22:22] erUSUL, so, its not in Ubuntu by default? [22:22] Drk_Guy, live cd, whatever. And it's simple, walked several through it before [22:23] jrib: apt-get install unrar? [22:23] nickrud, have you gone trough gentoo install? [22:23] bonk_: yes [22:23] hi all, if anyone can help me it would be apriciated [22:23] erUSUL: Ok. [22:23] Dorothy: best to just ask the channel your question [22:23] Drk_Guy, no, I did my source stuff with lfs years ago. Gentoo come lately [22:23] livingdaylight: do not remember [22:23] I did [22:23] jrib, [22:23] how do I erase the symlink? [22:23] bonk_: rm [22:23] nickrud, lol, still, it's a great way to improve your linux skills [22:23] Dorothy: I just joined here, so I didn't see you ask the question [22:23] <__jaschon__> unlink [22:24] Dorothy: best to just wait 10 minutes and repeat it then [22:24] alright... [22:24] Dorothy, it got missed, you should ask regularly [22:24] bonk_: the same as any other file [22:24] My CDROM isn't working [22:24] ok so I rm both /usr/bin/rar & /usr/bin/unrar [22:24] hey guys [22:24] Dorothy: what CD ROm is it? [22:24] bonk_: no, only unrar which you created [22:24] I can boot the laptop off the CDROM but once I boot to Xubuntu, nothing [22:24] erUSUL: Ok, that's working for umask. Now +s... [22:24] gotcha [22:24] this is the same cdrom I loaded the system with the one on the laptop [22:25] thing is... [22:25] Dorothy: ask on one line [22:25] it's one of these laptops that the CDROM and Floppy are on a seperate dockingstation [22:25] dockingstation wow that sounds like an old lap to me [22:26] Dorothy: make sure it's not loose. It's one of those that you can eject the drive right? Someone was here the other day because of that [22:26] jrib, like I said I can boot the laptop off the CDROM [22:26] ..just tried [22:26] erUSUL, nickrud, thank's a lot, everything is working ! [22:27] blue112: no problem... we learned too by helping you XD [22:27] Is there any way I can get a fairly up to date dictionary and lookup the defenitions through the kernel? [22:27] Great :) [22:27] <__jaschon__> i get a "OAFIID:Glipper" error when i start gnome... is this a Glipper problem or a Gnome problem [22:27] what were you helping with? [22:27] Anyone with libtiff-tools installed? I really need the configfile for tiff2pdf (and no, I'm not running Ubuntu atm). [22:27] Joeseph: what definitions? [22:28] erUSUL: Of the english language. I've found one, but all the defenitions are from 1913. [22:28] Has anyone had any experience with WICD? Is it really any good? [22:29] Hello. Can someone please tell me how can I set up and use my genius web camera? [22:29] Joeseph: oops some how your mention of "the kernel" got me confused XD [22:29] !webcam | zendo [22:29] zendo: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [22:29] http://img204.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dategr1.jpg - how do I go about fixing a display like that? hehe [22:30] my amsn don' t want to conncect? sombody has anny idea? [22:30] favro: wow nice picture. what did you do to virtualbox? [22:30] __jaschon__, Yes, I know that was a known issue with me as well... Apparently, Glipper expects one of the other programs to be started by the time it is started but infact errors out [22:31] SebNaitsabes: it booted fine first time but I changed the resolution and every boot looks like that... [22:31] <__jaschon__> Glipper ran fine when i was using Mint [22:31] hey i have a problem,when i try to update i get this "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." Is There a way i can correct this via Terminal? [22:31] favro: which version of virtualbox? [22:31] d_dyer: run: sudo dpkg --configure -a [22:31] ok thanks [22:31] SebNaitsabes: it seems to be a xubuntu issue not vb [22:31] d_dyer: you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." <<<< fairly obvious no? [22:31] SebNaitsabes: 2 [22:31] favro: yes I was also wondering what distro you were on [22:31] __jaschon__, Well, it has always given me the error on startup when gnome asks whether to remove or keep this panel applet. The trick I used was to make Glipper sleep for about 8 seconds before loading [22:32] favro: since this is the Ubuntu channel and by the sounds of it you got an xubuntu channel try #xubuntu for help with that [22:32] SebNaitsabes: xubuntu is the guest - with the issue [22:32] Why is there no attempt to upgrade from the 1913 defentions from the webster dictionary? [22:32] favro: what's the host? [22:32] favro: also you can try #vbox [22:32] SebNaitsabes: deader than a really dead thing there [22:32] <__jaschon__> FreshUbuntuNoob, how do you make Glipper sleep for 8 sec? [22:32] Thanks Guys :) [22:32] SebNaitsabes: ubuntu minimal [22:32] __jaschon__, Hold on, let me find the relevant comment on launchpad [22:33] favro: try #vbox since it's not really an Ubuntu issue it seems [22:33] SebNaitsabes: vbox won't help - xubuntu freaked at the resolution change [22:33] favro: what's the host OS? [22:33] __jaschon__, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glipper/+bug/213494 <= you can read up on it here... and the solution is to manually add a few lines of code in glipper... pretty easy and straightforward [22:34] Launchpad bug 213494 in glipper "[Hardy] Glipper dies when desktop starting" [Undecided,New] [22:34] SebNaitsabes: an ubuntu minimal install === lymeca_ is now known as lymeca [22:34] favro: how much RAM does your computer have? [22:34] i like ubuntu alot better than XP,i just got it this morning [22:34] SebNaitsabes: 1g [22:34] favro: why are you using a low RAM???? I think your host is. and a low RAM guest? [22:34] SebNaitsabes: I can run the other tw0 guests I've made with np [22:34] anyone here ever have any luck with dual screens on an x61 in a ultrabase? [22:35] favro: well you really want Xubuntu as a guest VM? [22:35] Trying to run screenlets under KDE. It errors out -- doesn't recognize the file format of '/usr/share/icons/screenlets.svg'. That's a soft link to an existing file. Any hints how to get this thing going? [22:35] SebNaitsabes: wouldn't have made it if I didn't... [22:35] anyone here know how to get the panel a curve edge? [22:35] gnome-panel [22:35] favro: you can delete that VM. properly from the hidden .vbox folder in home [22:36] favro: if you delete on virtualbox it only deletes the entry for it [22:36] favro: how did you install it? from a CD or the ISO? [22:36] hi everyone, [22:36] can anyone please tell me a program with which i can view .mdf type images? [22:37] favro: and which virtual box version is it. is it one you got from the Ubuntu repo. or is it one you got from virtualbox them selves? [22:37] SebNaitsabes: from the cd and fixing it should prove interesting [22:37] Has anyone used ding? I'm trying to figure out how I can get the defenition of a word to appear on the kernel with a command. [22:37] favro: which virtual box are you using? [22:37] SebNaitsabes: using dapper so the only option was to get it from vb [22:37] Hey, does anyone know how to mount an iso file to install something that takes 3 discs? If I mount it with gmount I can't unmount and switch to the second disc when I'm prompted to~ [22:38] SebNaitsabes: the latest [22:38] favro: ok so not the OSE. the PUEL the one with USB support? [22:38] SebNaitsabes: yes [22:38] SebNaitsabes: do you think mounting all 3 would work? [22:38] Spherous, with mount and some loop option, try to google that [22:38] Hello. Can anyone help with getting my wireless working in Ubuntu. Wireless Connections doesn't show up. [22:38] jrib: mouting all 3 of what? [22:38] !wireless [22:38] KRF: sudo mount -o loop? [22:38] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [22:38] <__jaschon__> FreshUbuntuNoob, thanks for the help.. [22:38] dict word works. All the definitions are from the 1913 webster dictionary... why is this? [22:38] SebNaitsabes: bah, ignore me, wrong nick [22:38] Spherous, something like that i guess. i'm not sure, though [22:39] __jaschon__, No problem [22:39] favro: ok delete that VM properly from .vbox hidden folder in home [22:39] SebNaitsabes: nope - I'm going to fix xubuntu [22:39] Joeseph, I believe they have to do with copyrights. Essentially, copyrights are not valid anymore after 100 yeas (I think so) [22:39] favro: then re install it, if still problems, I have another idea :) [22:39] I've tried all the documentation and forums and still cannot find the solution. For example going through the doc it says look for an .inf file - and I don't seem to have one. [22:40] KRF: I already tried that too, I tried burning them to a disc and doing that, but I'm getting Error: -1603 fatal error occurred during installation [22:40] favro: acstaully leave your Xubuntu the one that isan't working properly and try my other idea now :) [22:40] 2008 - 1913 is less than 100 years. Maybe they released the copyright? Surely there's another open source dictionary out there.... [22:40] SebNaitsabes: all I did was run displayconfig-gtk and select my monitor and its' native resolution [22:41] why my amsn do not want to connect anyway, anyone no [22:41] favro: did you know that you can run VMware virtual disk in virtualbox. and you can actsaully download loads of already made one for loads of operating systems and so on. I am pretty sure there is an already made for Xubuntu [22:41] adam_: pastebin 'apt-cache policy amsn' [22:41] favro: and you don't have to mess around with a vmware vmx file when doing it in Virtualbox [22:41] Joeseph, From wikipedia: The dictionary's 1913 edition of the 1900 International, renamed Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, has in modern times been used in various free online resources, as its copyright lapsed and it became public domain. [22:41] favro: now it will be interesting to see if one of those works for Xubuntu in your virtualbox or not [22:42] SebNaitsabes: defeats the purpose I got vb for... [22:42] FreshUbuntuNoob: Thanks. I shoulda known to wiki. [22:42] would installing libcurl and libcurl-dev solve this configure: error: Please reinstall the libcurl distribution - [22:42] easy.h should be in /include/curl/ [22:42] SebNaitsabes: you seem to be missing the issue [22:42] Joeseph, Wiki knows all your deepest darkest secrets :p [22:42] I cant see my ntfs partitions,Ive been using linux for more than one year adn I could saw them before. I got both windows and linux, when Im on windows I can see them...also I cant mount usb devices..any help please? [22:42] favro: you may find it's an Xubuntu issue with your set up. [22:42] carrera: what are you compiling? [22:42] favro: what did you get it for? [22:42] jrib, php [22:43] FreshUbuntuNoob: yup. It and google know the ultimate answer too. [22:43] jrib, I've already added libxml2-dev [22:43] SebNaitsabes: I changed a setting - and I want to change it back is essentially where I'm at [22:43] carrera: php is in the repositories, why aren't you using the packages from there? [22:43] favro: which setting? [22:43] SebNaitsabes: all I did was run displayconfig-gtk and select my monitor and its' native resolution [22:43] jrib, for one I like installing everything under /usr/local [22:44] favro: you can change loads of Virtualbox settings in the program yes [22:44] SebNaitsabes: thnx - it is not vb issue [22:44] favro: you can also re add your virtualdisk for Xubuntu as if you had only just done it [22:44] I cant see my ntfs partitions,Ive been using linux for more than one year adn I could saw them before. I got both windows and linux, when Im on windows I can see them...also I cant mount usb devices..any help please?

[22:45] !package [22:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about package [22:45] Synaptic? [22:45] lol [22:45] Um [22:45] Hmm... [22:45] Point [22:45] carrera: erm, why not use LFS then... I think that's a terrible reason. You don't get automatic security updates for something like php this way. Anyway, 'sudo apt-get build-dep PACKAGE' will get you the build dependencies for PACKAGE if you choose to ignore my warnings [22:46] I'm just thinking of having a list of everything transferred to a new partition. [22:46] So not just displayed in a GUI... [22:46] oh yes Knoppis give me a moment [22:46] Where is the list of installed packages kept? [22:46] i'll give you the command [22:46] thanks jrib [22:46] i just installed soap4r and wsdl2ruby isn't available. how do i get it?

[22:50] magnetron: took couple of beers and hacked the other barcode scanners perl code [22:50] good idea olmari. you had a programmer in you after all [22:50] hey, I need to make audio + video calls over MSN [22:51] magnetron: essentially I needed to take out all the checks as original scanner sends some prefixes and whatnot, mine pushes only the end result in ascii [22:51] what program can I install?

[22:56] I can't hibernate. I installed uswsusp (said it couldn't find a valid swap) so I made/mounted a swap. I don't know what to try now [22:56] MarBert: Mercury Messenger or I guess Windows Live Messenger under Wine? [22:56] Healer: RAR has a license on it and people don't want to spend a fortune on purchasing a license to implement support for RAR. [22:56] I went on the home page It doesnt take audio calls [22:57] apt-get install unrar [22:57] :) [22:57] !rar | Healer [22:57] Healer: how did you try to install them?

There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [22:57] so how are you today ubottu?

Anyone know how to re-enable it? [23:15] pen: you're talking about the notification area? [23:16] carandraug, kinda, but no. Widgets in general, like the weather time [23:16] Occasionally, when moving windows with Compiz turned on, the windows will simply disappear. Has anyone else had this problem?

[23:17] rythmbox ftw [23:18] hi [23:18] carandraug: no. Just that the place where icons appear (like pidgin, xchat, music, etc..) is called notification area. And many people removef it and then don't know what they have to add back to the panel to get it back [23:18] g'day folks :) [23:18] extor: the man page usually has examples. I remember that gnome-osd looked better [23:19] damn there is a shitload of people in here >.< [23:19] dan, i have rhythmbox, and I'm unable to sync it with my thumb drive based mp3 player, do you know if this is possiable [23:19] i recently installed libflashsupport to solve problems with sound output on youtube but now firefox randomly closes and it is quite annoying anyone got any ideas? === chrissss is now known as chrisss [23:20] no sorry :S === chrisss is now known as chrissss [23:20] do anyone here know what the button is called on the panel for the gnome-panel widgets? not window selector...

[23:35] If you install ubuntu onto hd(1,0) the installer sets up the grub.conf (or whatever loader ubuntu uses im not sure) to load from hd(0,0) regardless of where you installed ubuntu to [23:35] and when it did freeze, it was because of a problem accessing the squishfs [23:35] had to manually modify the launcher [23:35] What is the difference between the ubuntu dvd versus the iso (besides the obvious difference in size) [23:35] reportingsjr, c01100011 what do I do?

[23:37] c01100011, how do I do this? [23:37] cntrl alt f1 [23:37] np [23:37] c01100011 To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" [23:38] c01100011, I'll try that, get an idea of what the error is.
