I mean, if it's sunny, your desktop will be sunny, and if it's raining, your desktop will have blue/grayish colors, etc. Would this be possible? Although I'm no programmer I visualize something like having different themes named "sunny" "rainy" "snowy" etc, and a script that checks with the gnome weather applet an [00:29] d applies the right theme.. [00:29] hey`: we like to keep this channel dedicated to ubuntu support only since it is so busy. Mind moving your discussion over to #ubuntu-offtopic? [00:29] jrib: ok ... it's there ....

[00:29] jrib: so ... it's only a windows borders thing? [00:29] hou5ton: basically GTK themes -> Controls and Metacity Themes -> Window Borders.

[01:00] EvolutionXtinct: what are you going to use ftp for? [01:01] ImSoNewb: dont use 64 bit [01:01] i have clients who have to upload database backups [01:01] ImSoNewb: it is too buggy [01:01] ok [01:01] and we need it to go onto our 3.5TB RAID 5 array which is a storage server [01:01] which version should i use then? [01:01] ImSoNewb: yes. 64bits are for AMD/intel (it just is called AMD64), just like 32bit ones use i386 for both intel and AMD [01:01] how can i search including date created/modified like windows F3 can do [01:01] ImSoNewb: 64bit works fine for me [01:01] i setup a symlink to the folder of the RAID but stupid proftpd and any FTP client see's the symlink as a dumb shortcut and opens it up w/ nothing inside [01:01] Thanks, usser. [01:01] ImSoNewb: basic 32 bit [01:01] i use the symlink in CLI it works just fine [01:01] i'm getting some conflicting information here. [01:02] what kind of bugs does the 64-bit version have? [01:02] i shoulda never made the RAID partition a NTFS partition [01:02] Hi, is there a command to view all the computers connected to my router and their IP address's? I currently do not have a network setup [01:02] its useless now because i thought i could connect VMWare up to it and use it. but since its already linked by HOst OS i can't do that!! [01:02] ImSoNewb: Whichever you choose will work, theyre both for AMD and i386 (I'm assuming your processor does 64bit) [01:02] ImSoNewb: dont trust me, i have heard other people in the channel say that new people should not use 64 bit on important machines [01:02] ImSoNewb: er, amd and intel, that is. [01:02] ImSoNewb: im using intrepid though [01:03] anyone familiar w/ ntfs-3g [01:03] i for some reason can't read permissions off of it. [01:03] i think that might be the problem. [01:03] is there a way to insert a cd on one computer and have the sound play on other computers too? [01:03] ImSoNewb: the issues with 64bit is generally due to having to use proprietary stuff, and even that has gotten a lot nicer/easier in the past few years [01:03] guys i really need some help....i have hooked up my laptop to an external projector....when a play a video it is black on the external projector but it plays on my laptop screen [01:03] I have configuration editor installed yet it's not showing on any menu.

[01:05] * dashnu wasnt thinking [01:05] hi, in GNU screen, it seems like scrolling doesn't work, rolling the wheel in screen just scrolls the history, and also, 256 colors don't work, although xterm and gnome-terminal, and even konsole support it [01:05] zoidberg_77: is Compiz enabled? [01:06] mneptok: no [01:06] are there drivers for radeon hd 4xxx video cards? i did not see any on a quick google search [01:06] mneptok: i'm not sure [01:06] I also have xp in my computer, how cound I mount "c:" , is it sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/c [01:06] mneptok: how can i check [01:06] zoidberg_77: System > Preferences > Appearance > Desktop Effects [01:06] zoidberg_77: apparently there is no way. http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-100014.html [01:07] zoidberg_77: "Visual Effects" sorry [01:07] mneptok: no but i just enabled them to see if that helps [01:07] i can't change my resolution when i install it was 1600x1200 then i made it 1280x960 but now is 640x480 and I can't change it [01:08] ganymede: yeah. it is becuase it is in screen. you need to do ctrl+a esc. then use the arrow keys... [01:08] mneptok: ok so enabling desktop effects didn't help [01:08] is there a IRC room for linux newbie junk?

What I'm trying to do is ubuntu server -> crossover cable -> ubuntu 8.04 -> wifi -> router. whenever i edit my dhcpd.conf, and try to start up the dhcp server, all i get is errors. is there any other way of doing this without dhcpd? [01:09] mneptok: are u there? [01:10] BCM34 - there is plenty of ways [01:10] How can I determine if 2 directory trees are the same? [01:10] BCM34 - You could VNC, or make network disks with samba (the second is most likely what you want) [01:10] Kira: how? i need to be able to insert a cd, press play, and have it go to a few different computers. They are all on the same network [01:10] Guys, I'm in a serious RTS mood, name some great RTS that I can play on Linux?

[01:17] you may have to resort to copying all of the config files to a flash drive [01:17] i'm trying to transfer from a inside-windows install to its own partition [01:17] you should be able to look at DHCP leases [01:17] and find out whats connected [01:17] then sorting through them later [01:17] hey guys, I just screwed up my xorg.conf and I'm in tty2, is there something I can run to automatically generate a new xorg? [01:17] or just use a program that goes and does a ping [01:17] xorg.conf I mean [01:17] IceGuest_7: i'm fairly new to linux, how would i go about doing that [01:18] and/or where are the wireless config files [01:18] yea it made a back up with a bunch of numbers after it [01:18] I think its a router - as far as I know it has everything built in: wireless, firewall, internet, that stuff [01:18] I am still having a problem with *buntu recognizing a blank cd or dvd. I have tried the suggestions previously recommended without success. See pastebin 45095 for output and methods used thus far. Thanks...!

[01:26] use the dhcp to broadcast and the eth0 port on the client to listen [01:27] little backwards but after the ack they will figure it out [01:27] I already figured it out...

[01:30] d0wn ask zcat it sounds like he has done exactly this before [01:30] .. actually not so hard to set up with firestarter, you just set up the wireless and in firestarter say that's the 'outside' network and eth0 is your LAN, and turn on connection sharing [01:30] chiz http://paste.ubuntu.com/45095 [01:31] I did it the hard way though... [01:31] ubuntu sucks [01:31] (actually no, the lappy I did it the easy way.. I've also done it the hard way) [01:31] why are you here then if it sucks?

[01:42] sry i mean a windows one sry i know my main pc is still xp i hate it to but i gotta have it [01:43] asxx: maybe what type? Nivida or ATI? [01:43] Godstrong I have a Aspire One netbook. Uninstalled Evolution e-mail and lost all of my gnome windows and taskbars and such. No clue how to get it back so im going to reinstall again. [01:43] nvidia use ENVY!! [01:43] Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 Memory Controller Hub (rev 0c) [01:43] i guess it could be "ls"s short comming that is causing that. or even grep [01:43] Godstrong: unless you want Ubuntu suppourt for a netbook [01:43] problem was that one of the game could run on windows but soon as I started in linux, it says my graphic card is too old to play.. [01:43] asxx: which game? [01:44] regnum [01:44] asxx: is that a Windows game your running in Wine? [01:44] its a linux game [01:44] but i have tried on windows with the windows version and worked fine [01:44] so overall jeffl do you like your acer aspire one? [01:45] asxx: you could try the WIndows version in Wine in Ubuntu, altough that's not really the soloution for native version [01:45] Godstrong I regret it. Should have waited until Linux distros better supported it. As of now reinstalling Ubuntu and will try the 3 hour long procedure again [01:45] sebnaitsabes: yes, I could try it with wine but is there any way to play with linux version? [01:45] how do I make a daemon automatically start up when I turn on my PC? [01:45] perhaps, I might need to update my graphic card because in xorg, it just says generic default video driver [01:46] in lspci, it says Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 Memory Controller Hub (rev 0c) [01:46] bc I have heard a lot about that new dell netbook and you can totally customized it on the dell website [01:46] Godstrong I restarted the computer today and the wireless does not work. It does not "Detect" hotspots. I got it to work yesterday but doing it manually. [01:47] plus i have been wanting to play with linux [01:47] If dell comes preinstalled w/ Ubuntu id go with them. [01:47] Jeffl- the distro installed in aspire one is for idiots, you should get rid of it, however here is an article on how to make it at least manageable http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/09/05/ten_aspire_one_tips/ [01:47] can unused space on a tmpfs partition be used by other programs as free RAM ? [01:47] so I think i'm going to get the new dell netbook, but not sure [01:47] arquebus i installed ubuntu - but ran into a problem and now have to reinstall it. is there a repair OS option in a ubuntu install cd? [01:48] gus no [01:48] www.aspireoneuser.com this is your best bet for info [01:49] Agent_bob, is there any fs with that feature ? [01:49] gus if you are asking if the unused ram is still avalable to the kernel and ultimatly to other apps then yes. but the tmpfs is not avalable as ram [01:50] hello [01:50] I uninstalled Evolution e-mail program and now lost my taskbars and such. How can I get this back? [01:50] so would it be a good idea to buy a dell netbook with ubuntu? [01:50] All I have is a blank desktop. nothing else [01:51] Godstrong yes [01:51] Godstrong: Dell sell netbooks with Ubuntu? even in UK? [01:51] i need some help tooo [01:51] atleast it will work out the box and be dells supported [01:51] why does apt-get fails to fetch anything ? /etc/apt/sources.list seems fine. [01:51] I uninstalled Evolution e-mail program and now lost my taskbars and such. How can I get this back? <--------------- anyone? [01:51] Agent_bob, but if you make a tmpfs and dont use some space you are wasting ram [01:51] /w 3 [01:52] gus no. [01:52] ????????? [01:52] Jeffl: have you tried going to the bottom till you see the little arrows that change the size of windows and such [01:52] i downloaded ubuntu mini iso i have a dell latitude l400 old laptop old old I got it installed and i log in but its all texted base i want he full ubuntu any one no the command for geting all the other crap [01:52] Jeffl: and then expand it upwords [01:52] ah, that's what i wanted to know [01:52] Hi all!!! [01:52] gus a tmpfs is size 0 until used if i understand it correctly the size is constantly adjusted as more or less space is used [01:52] i was gnome and all the other crap that comes with ubuntu 8.04 [01:52] I need some help on 64bit vs 32bit [01:52] gus tmpfs expands as needed, so it can start at minimal [01:53] is there a simple command i can type in to do this [01:53] ASrock I have no windows. i have nothing. just a blank desktop with a icon. I have to somehow "reload" gnome or what-ever is running.. [01:53] Have you tried rebooting? [01:53] who [01:53] join ##otw [01:53] er [01:53] hmm ok [01:53] gus if you like, you can perhaps use ram memory from your oversupplied video memory [01:53] gus it will report avalable space as the total ram but of course will be limited to only the unused portion of said ram [01:53] any one willing to help me with some simple info [01:53] what command do i use tp change "drwx------" to "drwx---rwx" [01:54] for mysql, out of 64bit OSes and 32bit OSes which offers better performance ?

What can I do ? [02:19] I really want to watch this. Why are they blocking Linux? [02:19] KenBW22 never mind. if it's that hard to just get rid of all white backgrounds i'll just use a different DE, that will be much easier. and it's a sad state of affairs when changing desktop environment is easier than changing window colours... [02:19] alibabalikumi: do you have php installed? [02:19] Agent_bob: how about you listen to what i tell you first [02:19] hey i accidently deleted the default firefox link in gnome, whats the command to launch it [02:19] question about synergy: i'm using my xp desktop as the server and my ubuntu laptop as the client but synergy goes into and out of major lag making it almost unusable, any suggestions to fix or improve this?

[02:20] windows ? what's that ? [02:20] your comparison is bunk. [02:21] KenBW22 do you mean that microsoft virus called windows ? [02:21] Agent_bob: System > Preferences > Appearance. Click Customise, then the Colo(u)rs tab. Click the top-left square [02:22] chrislang: try "sudo apt-get install gdm" [02:22] KenBW22 non-existant tab. [02:22] question about synergy: i'm using my xp desktop as the server and my ubuntu laptop as the client but synergy goes into and out of major lag making it almost unusable, any suggestions to fix or improve this? [02:22] Agent_bob: which one [02:22] KenBW22 appearances [02:22] KenBW22 alright brb ty.

[02:23] KenBW22 not here it's not. [02:23] Nutzebahn: it won't work on linux because while it LOOKS like it's just a flash video player, it requires the Move Media Player. Their claim of supporting other OSes at a later date is bull, as the player doesn't exist for linux, and likely never will [02:23] Agent_bob: you *are* running gnome, right? [02:23] :'( [02:23] yep [02:23] can a username have the same uid and gid as another username? [02:23] Agent_bob: do you have a System > Preferences menu?

[02:24] question about synergy: i'm using my xp desktop as the server and my ubuntu laptop as the client but synergy goes into and out of major lag making it almost unusable, any suggestions to fix or improve this? [02:25] KenBW22 Alright its working is there anything else i gotta do after that [02:25] hey, how would i compile a binary so that i can move it over to another system that i dont have admin privs on?

[02:26] any1 know how i get beryl working [02:26] Nutzebahn: doesn't look like all hope is lost though [02:26] Agent_bob: run "gnome-appearance-properties %F" in Terminal [02:26] jpiccolo you can specify your target system with gcc or g++ [02:26] Nutzebahn: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=679165&highlight=abc.com+streaming [02:26] whats the command to run firefox in gnome [02:26] KenBW22 it doesn't exist [02:26] from the default installation [02:26] that should work as well, since the move player is used by both ABC and FOX now [02:26] jpiccolo - is your issue that you can't install it? or that you can't compile it on that system? [02:27] usser: you mean running synergy? what is dangerous about it? [02:27] <|chiz|> still i'm unable to have any control over permissions with my nfs mount, can anyone help?

[02:28] jpiccolo, compile it statically [02:28] ckyle: ok [02:28] KenBW22 any idea when that package was added ? [02:28] pdub: know any alternatives then? [02:28] looking for a file browser/ program/ terminal command that I can use to directly access an interface with a usb:// location. does anyone know of such a thing? [02:29] ckyle: so compiling it staticly will make it like all encased at a single binary [02:29] Agent_bob: since day 1 of ubuntu id assume [02:29] jpiccolo, right. [02:29] Agent_bob: gnome 2.20, which was first in ubuntu 7.10 [02:29] KenBW22 then you'd be mistaken [02:29] Agent_bob: actually, its not here either [02:29] KenBW22: you'd assume incorrectly :P [02:29] joeb3_: ok thanks [02:29] jpiccolo - yes, it doesn't do dynamic loading of libraries when u do that [02:29] Thank you. Is there any way to fool abcfamily.com into thinking that I am from the United States? It won't let me watch full episodes here. [02:29] crdlb: any ideas on a fix?

[02:30] Nutzebahn, yes, its called a proxy server just google it, theres plenty of US free proxy servers [02:30] KenBW22 alrighty its bein dumb says user is installed already.

[02:32] pdub: nvidia geforce 6100 [02:33] ekowl - had problems with my notebook that used NVidia card and XP - upgraded nvidia driver and turned off hardware accel and it fixed the lag [02:33] crdlb if there isn't something i have just overlooked i really don't think i have much use for gnome, it should never be that hard just to change a colour. and with most DE's it's not. i'll just use something else xfce4 maybe. [02:33] ekowl - not sure which of those fixed it though :) [02:33] Agent_bob: might be better reinstalling Ubuntu [02:33] Agent_bob - u don't like it then fix it :-P [02:33] chiz: sure... what`s your prob? [02:34] Agent_bob: the problem isnt with Gnome, theres obviously something wrong with your install [02:34] crdlb i tried to tell KenBW22 not to waste time on it if it wasn't a simple cure. [02:34] pdub: good to know thanks [02:34] Agent_bob: there was no appearance properties dialog in dapper's release of gnome, so you just right click on the desktop and choose change desktop background [02:34] ekowl - np [02:34] looking to directly access a usb:// location: does anyone know of a program or file browser or even a way I can do this in a terminal? [02:34] can rhythmbox play mp4 podcasts??? [02:34] MrPickle: why? [02:35] Agent_bob: unless you mean some other kind of colors (I only skimmed the /lastlog) [02:35] crdlb which does nothing to the default window background colour. [02:35] !mp4 [02:35] 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 [02:35] can anyone point me in the direction to get some help with my PCSX emulator? [02:35] dashnu, rhythmbox is an audio player [02:35] KenBW22 kk its workin [02:35] crdlb yes it's the windows colour that i have to change. bright white background is unacceptable. [02:35] chrislang: installing? [02:35] KenBW22 yep [02:35] MrPickle, Midnight commander? [02:36] usser: k thx [02:36] kenbw22, the device is installed and recognized, but not working properly, so i'd like to get in there and see what i can do with elbow grease and binary. I know how to code for this machine [its a printer], just not how to access any kind of interface it might have at the url [02:36] KenBW22 is that all i had to do ? [02:36] Agent_bob: that is configurable by the gtk+ theme. You may be able to override the theme's colors in system > preferences > themes > customize, but that may have been added in a later version than dapper [02:36] joeb3_, what is midnight commander? [02:36] MrPickle: you do realise things are stored in /media/? [02:36] joeb3_ i just found a bug in "mc" it can't access dirs over fish:// which contain more than 16k files... [02:36] MrPickle, file browser that works in a terminal. [02:36] kenbw22 what's the device file for the printer? [02:37] chrislang: wait for it to finish and then restart [02:37] hey guys, I followed a guide to make my tv tuner work in ubuntu, but it didn't work, can anyone help me out? [02:37] I mean MrPickle [02:37] KenBW22 kk ill brb [02:37] I installed TV time, and added some stuff to /etc/modules and restarted [02:37] MrPickle, type "mc". You may have it installed. [02:37] kenbw22, yes, but the computer side of it is working fine. the issue im quite sure is on the side of the device or in translation between in the two [02:37] <|chiz|> EmersonGomesRibe: I can't get my mount to have the permissions I want [02:37] Agent_bob: additionally, the default background of normal windows is not white, it is some shade of gray [02:38] lspci reports this card: Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 11) [02:38] MrPickle most device files can be opened as a stream... [02:38] joeb3_ it falls into an infinite loop of ls | grep ^ [02:38] crdlb in dapper it sure looks like full white. [02:38] is there a way to tile windows in gnome? [02:38] <|chiz|> EmersonGomesRibe: I want users to be able to write to the mount but I can only get the permissions 755 [02:38] How long should it take Ubuntu 7.04 to update to Ubuntu 8.04? [02:38] Agent_bob: which windows are you talking about? [02:38] Jerald, you should wait for 8.10 ;) [02:39] ckyle, this is true, but again, everything on the side of my computer appears to be installed and working, so i want to mess around with the internal programs in this printer, knowing full well i may destroy it [02:39] MrPickle: youre out of my depth [02:39] pen, I have a disc with 7.04 on it [02:39] And was going to convert from Windows [02:39] |chiz|, are the permissions set to write on the machine you are mounting? [02:39] Jerald, is this your first time with ubuntu? [02:39] is there a way to tile windows in gnome? [02:39] I have used it before [02:39] crdlb almost anything really file manager (but that can be adjusted per dir) many applications... [02:39] Jerald, you like 7.04 much? [02:39] brb [02:39] Jerald, or 8.04? [02:39] <|chiz|> joeb3_: yeah the folder on the server is pretty much 777 [02:39] Jerald: It will probably take twice as much downloading to go from 7.04 to 8.04 as to download an 8.04 install CD [02:39] Jerald: 7.04 is out of date [02:39] I don't know, I gave up on 7.04 and went back to Windows, I have tended to do that with all Linux distros [02:40] Jerald: why did you give up? [02:40] Kenbw22.... its an old disc that I JUST found [02:40] I dunno [02:40] I am going to stay THIS time [02:40] Lol [02:40] iv forgotton the root password to my ubuntu box, how do i chroot in to change the password [02:40] Agent_bob: oh, that's not the window background color, that's the input box background color [02:40] Jerald: fair enough [02:40] I am going to install it soon, so, brb === h is now known as Guest57589 [02:40] incognito1: Boot into "recovery" ( single user ) mode [02:40] Jerald: get 8.04, no point using an old version [02:40] how do i put a shared folder under http://my-pc-hostname:someport/shared-folder ? [02:40] A question.... I need a tool that can write a directory of files to multiple DVDs and create a catalog for finding the files again. [02:41] Does anyone know of such a tool? [02:41] Agent_bob: just change your theme or upgrade to a more modern version of gnome (btw, I can assure you that the xfce in dapper doesn't make it any easier) === HDisk is now known as HardDisk [02:41] chrislang: you there? [02:41] joeb3_: i am still getting this error after compiling staticly: [02:41] jordan_u what do i do once i do that? [02:41] joeb3_: ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libfaac.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [02:41] malibu: I saw something about one a while ago. let me see if I can find it [02:41] is there a way to tile windows in gnome? an easier way? [02:41] Jordan_U: Awesome, thanks [02:42] incognito1: run "passwd " [02:42] jpiccolo, ./configure --help. Look for the option to enable static libraries. [02:42] Question: How can you use apt-get to search the repos for a package? Like aptitude search. (Also, can you use wildcards?) [02:42] Jordan_U: im at grub i see "ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic (recovery mode) " [02:42] mythtv-users [02:42] is that what i want to use? [02:42] joeb3_: i did configure with --enable-static [02:43] i dont see recovery single user mode [02:43] how install odbc and set it in gos space? [02:43] [02:43] [02:43] SebNaitsabes: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:43] jpiccolo, make clean before the configure? [02:43] malibu: Recovery mode is just a more user friendly way of saying single user mode :) [02:43] how install odbc and set it in gos space? [02:43] joeb3_: i guess i can try that [02:43] malibu: "recovery mode" is the option you want [02:44] joeb3_: i dont know if that will really help though [02:44] I have an HP F4240 all-in-one. Ubuntu autodetected it and installed it, but when I print, it says the jobs complete, but it never starts printing. [02:44] how install odbc and set it in gos space? [02:44] Jordan_U: Was that for me? I think I missed something [02:44] Agent_bob: color customisation was first in gnome 2.16, which was in ubuntu 6.10 [02:44] Jordan_U: it says give root password for maintenance or press control -D to continue === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:45] I read that someone else had used an HP printer also using the F4100 driver and it worked flawlessly [02:45] Has anyone seen this problem before, or have any ideas? [02:45] i pressed ctrl d [02:45] how do i force an install of an i386 .deb package in amd64? [02:45] anyone know of a messaging client for linux that will perform video conferencing with windows msn messenger? [02:45] joeb3_: would i be able to force it to look in a different dir for the libaries that it needs? [02:45] Jordan_U: thats not gonna work im gonna have to chroot in off of the live cd and run passwd [02:45] how do i chroot on ubuntu though? [02:46] incognito1: That's surprising, it shouldn't ask for a root password by default [02:46] MXITA: dpkg -i --force-architecture package_name [02:46] MXIIA: dpkg -i --force-architecture package_name [02:46] good morning :) anyone got a moment to give a hand to a beginner? [02:46] Jordan_U: can you help me with chroot? [02:46] chrislang: you there? [02:46] incognito1: same way you do for any other *nix, mount your / from a liveCD and "sudo chroot /path/to/installed/system/" [02:46] markp, what do you need :) [02:47] jpiccolo, add the paths you want to /etc/ld.so.conf. Then run ldconfig -v [02:47] the file path is what i dont know [02:47] incognito1: Sure, have you used chroot before? [02:47] Jordan_U: yes i have on my gentoo box [02:47] got a wireless lan problem :( i can connect to wireless lan with mac address filtering / no security. the moment i use WEP or WPA - no go [02:47] only twice once to change my password and once to fix grub === Bishop is now known as tscolin [02:48] joeb3_: that would only change it on the local machine right? ffmpeg would still be looking in the default path for the libs on the remote machine [02:48] http://pastebin.com/m73963be5 why would i be getting this error [02:48] incognito1: I don't think that the LiveCD mounts your internal drive by default, do you know how to mount it? [02:48] mount /dev/sda3 [02:49] Jordan_U: its not working though when i try to type that command it tells me.......... [02:49] hello can anyone help me with a application starting problem [02:49] jpiccolo, right. did you add the --disable-shared to your configure? [02:49] joeb3_: i could try that too i guess [02:49] MXIIA: you need to install the missing packages [02:50] jpiccolo, I'm compiling bind statically to test. [02:50] mount: can't find /dev/sda2 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab Jordan_U [02:50] anyone good with wireless? cannot connect when using WPA or WEP - no security is fine! [02:50] pdub, what package is missing? [02:50] joeb3_: ok, i am enabling external libs to it though [02:51] joeb3_: like x264 and faac [02:51] incognito1: Add a mount point argument, "sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt" [02:51] joeb3_: i think thats whats breaking it [02:51] sudo: mount/dev/sda2/mnt: command not found [02:51] MXIIA: libdb4.4 and libstdc++5 [02:51] Jordan_U: im using a 32 bit gentoo live cd btw [02:51] just sudo apt-get those 2? [02:52] jpiccolo, you need the development packages which include all the header files for x264 and faac to compile statically. [02:52] does it matter that this computer has a 64 bit version of ubuntu? [02:52] can you chroot into a 64 bit OS with a 32 bit live cd? [02:52] incognito1, i'm using a 32 bit ubuntu version on a 64 bit laptop :) [02:53] incognito1: you might run into some problems [02:53] joeb3_: well i used git for the x264 [02:53] u'll just have a less performances [02:53] when i do fdisk -l /dev/sda it shows me the partition table but i cant mount any thing =[ [02:53] joeb3_: looking for faac atm [02:53] crdlb input box background color ? so you have to change a "theme" to change that ??? and yes changing colour in xfce is easy enough. crdlb 6.10 eeh i just missed it didn't i ;/ but it seems odd that something as old as gnome would be that far behind in such a simple field as colour change ... ;/ [02:53] incognito1: You need a space between the two arguments "sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt" [02:53] omar: so 64bit laptops are really 32bit with 64bit addons unless you use one of the newest processors out really [02:53] joeb3_: ok i do have dev for faac [02:54] kitche, it is an intel core 2 duo [02:54] joeb3_: i will make sure i have dev packages for all my includes [02:54] says "mount: can't find /dev/sda2/mnt in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab Jordan_U [02:54] Hi all, I'm not much of a linux guy, can someone explain to me what "pts" means?

[02:54] omar: yeah that's still x86_64 sometime amd will be releasing a x64 processor they are close to it with the phenom [02:55] hey, my mouse work well in windows, but here i can move it, someone knows why? [02:55] The context is in trying to understand this: "As the owner and user of the pts, simply allow others read/write access by chmodding it" [02:55] There are lots of backup utilities but none of them seem to remember what they put on the disk in a central location [02:55] kitche, so the core 2 duo isn't a real 64 bit processor ? [02:55] http://pastebin.com/m78c60c68 still get the error [02:56] Agent_bob: how exactly do you change the color in xfce? [02:56] omar: not really since it uses emt64 which is just a chip in the processor to do 64bit stuff [02:56] hey guys, when ever I do a search with google from firefox it puts "1592" on the end of my search automaticly, anyone know why this is? [02:56] kitche, okey thanks ;) [02:57] cab938: I'm not entirely sure what that is. type man pts in the terminal and see if that gives you any more useful information [02:57] incognito1: Copy and paste the command I gave, you need to make sure you don't forget the spaces [02:57] Fondor1: I did, alas, it wasn't immediatly helpful. I'll keep digging [02:57] im at a root shell and when i type 'mount /dev/sda2/mnt' it says "mount: cant find /dev/sda2/mnt in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab" what does that mean?

Does X just suck at screenshots? [02:59] arvind_khadri: mount /dev/sda2 /mnt ?? [02:59] incognito1: Yes [02:59] incognito1, yeah with a sudo in the beggining and [02:59] crdlb it has a point and click thingy i'm not in there right now. even "blackbox" has a configuration tool for that. but you are correct using highcontrast * inverse or low contrast themes do change the default backtround, a few others seem to alter it from bright white to dull white but nothing more than a very minor change. [02:59] pdub, I think the problem may be the first line "sudo: unable to resolve host MXIIA-Desktop" as well [03:00] Agent_bob: I'm looking at xfce-setting-show for xfce 4.4.2, and I'm nost seeing it [03:00] Leefmc: What are you trying to do?

[03:14] well there's a website I want to get to as well that's all flash [03:14] flash 9 [03:14] ARgh [03:15] <^Phantom^> is 8 gigs enough for ubuntu? [03:15] yeap [03:15] ntendo thats the same version thats on my gentoo box, i dont understand why its not working. do you have any other plug ins installed? [03:15] ^Phantom^: Yes, more than [03:15] jpiccolo, I had to ... export LDFLAGS="-static" before compiling to make it compile statically. [03:15] nothing exotic other than the totem video player. [03:15] crdlb ok i conceed. it is throught themes sorry, my bad. but that doesn't change the fact that it shouldn't be that hard ;) [03:15] ^Phantom^: More than enough that is, I just realized that might not have been clear :) [03:16] I seriously came very close to sending this computer through a wall of drywall. [03:16] ntendo dont do that, its a fixable problem [03:16] so i wont use xfce or gnome then... [03:17] Agent_bob: you know that there's a new LTS out? :) [03:17] crdlb yeah but i'm on dialup [03:17] Agent_bob: Order a CD [03:17] well...I'd love to have this fixed [03:17] ntendo: that totem video player whats it for [03:17] its crap [03:17] mpg/avi videos. [03:17] just remove it and get like mplayer [03:17] or vlc [03:18] Jordan_U i have seriously thought about that. maybe the debian boxed set [03:18] ntendo: your not the only one [03:18] vlc I have [03:18] i'm about to seriously chuck mine out the building [03:18] ntendo: try disabling that totem video player plug in and restart firefox see if it does the same thing [03:18] <^Phantom^> oh also can i dual-boot it with windows without fucking up the windows installation i'm on right now? [03:18] well I never know when it's going to crash. [03:18] try deleting your macromedia folder and clearing out your cache too [03:18] ^phantom^ yes I've done it before [03:19] * EvolutionXtinct wonderse if he'll ever find SAMBA/kerberos5 help.... not even #samba is responding [03:19] hi I just setupubuntu on my laptop two problems: 1 I never assigned root password 2 my laptop wont use the attached monitor and im not sure how to get it to ati rage 1250 card [03:19] Jordan_U it would do any good to order a ubuntu install cd because as soon as it was installed it would want to dl 1g of updates. plus i'd want a few packages that aren't on the installer [03:19] I'll use vlc [03:19] thanks guys. [03:19] help! [03:20] hope it works out for you ntendo [03:20] Agent_bob: how do you use ANY linux version then? [03:20] the_unmaker: you never really create a root password, because the root account is disabled. [03:20] thx [03:21] Jordan_U: you got any idea why i cant chroot to /sda2 [03:21] Fondor1 i don't have "much" trouble with dapper. most of the updates are done there. very few bugs being fixed in 6.6 any more. [03:21] incognito1: Well, I have no idea why chroot is not being found for you, once you figure that out you are setup to chroot and fix the problem. Might ask in #gentoo [03:21] <^Phantom^> the only thing keeping me from doing it is that ubuntu is that it freaking SUCKS DONKEY BALLS [03:21] Wouldn't it just be a matter of leaving it on overnight for a few nights to get the packages you need? [03:21] okay Jordan_U thanks man [03:21] hi, i'm having a wee bit of trouble. i want to list all my movie files, but not the *.nfo or the *cd* or *cd2* so far i got ls | grep -v "*nfo"|grep -v "*cd2*" [03:21] incognito1: np [03:21] I have an executable in /usr/bin: /usr/bin/[ === omar is now known as Holydiver [03:22] what is this command and what does it do? === Holydiver is now known as Nazgar0th [03:22] but it still has them... [03:22] the_unmaker: to do a command with root permissions, type: "sudo [yourcommandhere]" [03:22] it will prompt you for a password, which is the same as your user password [03:22] Fondor1 so it's fairly stable and usable and consistant. it's just new versions/releases that are updated every other day and i don't have the bandwidth for that. [03:23] Wouldn't it just be a matter of leaving it on overnight for a few nights to get the packages you need? << i installed it on my moms laptop and it worked nice and fast and all [03:23] hoarycripple: it's for shell scripting [03:23] is it a builtin? [03:23] Agent_bob: Ah, yea, makes sense. [03:23] <^Phantom^> but it fucking sucked [03:23] joeb3_: hey thanks [03:23] joeb3_: i was watching my roommate play gta [03:23] hoarycripple: It's the test command [03:24] is there no way to hide this annoying calendar in thunderbird? [03:24] when i use cp in bash to copy a file, it just creates a hard-link, which i didn't realize but the inode numbers are the same so i'm sure. This seems to be default behaviour on my system (hardy), can i set it to not default to a hard link but make a separate file? [03:24] ahh, I see. thank you. [03:24] ^Phantom^: please watch your language [03:24] <^Phantom^> couldn't install ANYTHING at all [03:24] Fondor1 debian stable is more along the line of something that would be usable for a dialup user or L user as they say. [03:25] Agent_bob: I must admit I'm fairly spoiled - I'm on a university network at the moment, where debian builds happen to be mirrored from time to time...! [03:25] hoarycripple: It's kind of funny, '[' is exactly the same as 'test' but it requires a ']' at the end for no reason other than to make it look like actual syntax i.e "if [ $foo = "bar" ] " :) [03:26] Agent_bob: I tent to forget that a package that may take me 10 seconds to get can take another 100 times that :( [03:26] ckyle, u sure u dont have alias setup somewhere for cp, ie cp = cp -i cause what u describing should in no way be default but rather is set by -i flag [03:26] ckyle, try to run cp with a full path [03:26] ok i'll leave now and stop cluttering and confusing things in here. only really came in to mention the issue with "mc" not being able to read dirs with 16k files in them over fish:// so later folks. :) [03:26] <^Phantom^> stupid installer thing would just say can't download and install because your computer is not supported [03:26] hoarycripple: And by at the end I mean as the last parameter, you can use '[' outside of shell scripts though it hardly ever is [03:27] later bob [03:27] ^Phantom^: are you looking for help with something in particular? [03:27] <^Phantom^> that's why i'm not about to permanently partition 8 gigs of my harddrive for something that is broken and not fully functional [03:28] where does ubuntu store session information? [03:28] ^Phantom^: if you are just here to rant, take it elsewhere. If you want support, ask a question [03:29] <^Phantom^> i'll only be able to use the default installed apps and such [03:29] hey guys, has any release of intrepid been released? [03:29] killux: #ubuntu+1 for intrepid [03:30] <^Phantom^> WITHOUT the option to install additional apps or update the OS [03:30] <^Phantom^> i mean [03:31] <^Phantom^> all i'm trying to say is that i want to be able to actually update the OS and install apps on it [03:31] ^Phantom^: okay, do you want help with that? It seems like you are just on a rant [03:32] <^Phantom^> i had to put windows back on her laptop because it ubuntu wouldn't let us install anything or update the OS [03:32] ^Phantom^: seriously, you must be a bot. I'm going to have to just ban if you don't stop [03:33] <^Phantom^> my point is that I don't want to end up in that same situation on my laptop [03:33] hi all [03:33] <^Phantom^> mine is quite similar to hers [03:33] ^Phantom^: that's not normal. You need to just install and come here if you have a problem [03:33] <^Phantom^> and my main fear of installing ubuntu is that the same thing will happen again [03:34] i am not able to install anything as well as open add/remove...error- sudo apt-get install putty [03:34] E: Type ' E: The list of sources could not be read.

It doesn't even show up when I use lspci. Can I confirm that it's dead as a dornail? Or does someone think they can get it back? It was working under Fiesty, but stopped mysteriously. Upgrading to Hardy didn't help. [03:46] does anyone here know how to mount a virtualbox hdd image [03:46] dewman: no problem [03:46] killux: Odd numbered kernels are dev versions.

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [03:48] killux: once a LTS is frozen only security updates and bug fixes occur [03:48] trying joining #amd perhaps [03:48] killux: It's still standard practise as fat as I'm aware. So only even numbered (stable release) versions should end up in an LTS like Hardy [03:48] Kz [03:48] wbmj: and hardy is frozen?

Perhaps X hates ATI heh. [03:55] Leefmc: There is no question, ATI hates X [03:55] Leefmc: Or rather, AMD :) [03:56] Jordan_U: It does stink though, the fact that windows has a recorder that my 3yr old laptop can record full screen 3d in, with great fps, and my new mac pro can't handle 4fps in ubuntu heh [03:56] Leefmc: Are your ATI drivers completely working?

[04:11] * Goose questions rahh's idea [04:11] GRUB isn't a program [04:11] it's the partition booter [04:11] no, ubuntu itself [04:11] joeb3_ i see / /boot /home and then a comment with swap in it with a mount point of none [04:11] once you uninstall it, grub will be gone with it [04:11] what is the syscall for interrogating which file systems are on a box?

[04:13] if you're using wubi in the first place [04:13] would anyone help me get past this stupid issue? [04:13] what issue ? [04:13] InHisName, you'll probably have to manually edit the xorg.conf. I had to do that with a dell monitor plugged into the video port on a laptop. [04:13] rahh: not quite understanding you.. is it literally a GUI menu I can access while booted in vista? and if so, where? [04:14] i just installed ubuntu into my vista windows, and now when i reboot after the three first screens, it boots into grub [04:14] so i did root (hd0,4) [04:14] and it worked [04:14] but when i try to setup (hd0) it do not [04:14] InHisName, Kept defaulting to resolution of monitor for Dell. [04:14] it gives me error 11 [04:14] joeb_ what is the pastebin? [04:15] !pastebin [04:15] 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) [04:15] goose: what is the problem [04:15] Nazgar0th [04:15] can i pm you please? [04:15] it's just a little tinny winny help [04:15] rahh: It's best to just talk here. [04:15] vbman11: I love(d) ubuntu, but I got a new lappy yesterday and I just tired to put ubuntu on it partitioned with vista, and whenever I try and boot the ubuntu partition, it just _dies_, so I need to take it off now [04:15] aight [04:16] FloodBot2: i hope someone respondto me though [04:16] rahh ok [04:16] joeb3_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/45155/ [04:17] Flannel: Bit OT, but what are file arguments called? ie, "somefile.py -option value" [04:17] goose: boot in to the live cd and remove ubuntu, I think there is a remove option in admin onn the live cd [04:17] joeb3_: My digital keeps being primary and more resolution than the dell. 21" dell 19" flat prefer to be secondary. [04:17] vbman11: will it remove GRUB as well, so it'll boot normally like it used to? [04:17] Leefmc: that'd just be an arguement to the python script, not an argument to that file. [04:17] Flannel: Its universal isn't it? Same for bash [04:17] Anybody know how I can export/import my amarok playlists from a backup of my old system to my new install? [04:18] hvgotcodes, line 13 shows your swap. [04:18] goose: grub is stored on the ubuntu partition by default so it will [04:18] Leefmc: What do you mean? [04:18] thanks vbman11 [04:18] you'll see me back if that doesn't work :/ [04:18] joeb3_ 13 appears to be cdrom; 11-12 are swap? [04:19] Flannel: "somebashfile -option value" or "somebashfile argument", its the same way you use the python arguments. But im just wondering on terminology, in my docs im writing "file arguments", and im not that pleased with it heh. Can you think of anything better to call them? [04:19] Leefmc: They're either parameters to the script itself, or parameters to the scripting engine executing those scripts. [04:19] hvgotcodes, 13. UUID=8306b27d-b783-4793-b57c-8b8b151c4d3b none swap sw [04:19] Leefmc: they're called "arguments" [04:20] joeb3_ either way -- i have swap right? don't want to have to reinstall, but want suspend to ram to work... [04:20] hello i have just installed and am trying to write to a partition and can not can someone help.... Do i just need to set permissions or? [04:20] hvgotcodes, yes you have swap. It's lvm. [04:21] Flannel: So file arguments isn't bad eh? Just feels wrong, but command line arguments seems a bit off too :) [04:21] Flannel: Anyway, thanks for the OT discussion :) [04:21] goose: I'm going to reboot [04:21] joeb3_ sweet [04:21] Leefmc: they're arguments. Command line sure, file arguments no. [04:22] need some help - my apache2 error log is showing that it can't locate params/util.pm in @inc [04:22] what does that mean? [04:22] InHisName, Trying to go from memory.... There is a line about Virtual Screen or something in xorg.conf. Set it to the minimum resolution both screens will support. Logout and log back in. [04:22] is there any Web design software like Dreamweaver for ubuntu [04:22] Flannel: Yea they are arguments, but i have to specific which arguments they are hehe. In documentation inside code, arguments has many meanings hehe :p (function args, etc) [04:22] !html | d_dyer [04:22] d_dyer: html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages. WYSIWYG editors: KompoZer (was Nvu), Iceape Composer, Amaya - Development environments: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem - For a howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com/ [04:22] Both [04:22] Flannel: So you think command line arguments is more clear? [04:22] i am a design and coder [04:22] Leefmc: Right. Lets... move this to #ubuntu-offtopic [04:22] hello i have just installed and am trying to write to a partition and can not can someone help.... Do i just need to set permissions or? [04:23] mortuis99, can you write as root? [04:23] joeb3_: virtual screen just gave me a bigger screen on the flat one and 640x480 on the dell. The scrolling was bothering. Want 1280x1024 on each. Keeps unbalance them. [04:24] IndyGunFreak, you know how to edit xorg.conf? [04:24] joeb3_: of course, what are you wanting to change in it? [04:25] I have since gone back to single monitor. I now have a message that the xserver wont start or something. I get orange desktop with one terminal session. I type $gnome-session to get a decent desktop back. [04:25] yes joeb3_ === LSD|Ninj3 is now known as LSD|Ninja [04:26] mortuis99, yes it is a permissions issue. Normally users can write to their /home/user and nothing else. Other than /tmp. [04:26] yeah! [04:28] IndyGunFreak, did you disable the second monitor? [04:28] oh hmmm OK [04:28] joeb3_: you're not making much sense... first you ask me if i know hwo to edit xorg, now you're asking if i disabled my second monitor.. .my second monitor is on my PC, which i'm not at right now, but no its not disabled [04:29] ÕâÀïÓÐÖйúÈËÂ𣿠[04:29] ^WTF^ [04:29] !cn | TOYOTAXP [04:29] TOYOTAXP: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [04:30] is it safe to assume that any ps/2 keyboad -> usb adapter will work in ubuntu? [04:30] can i have set it as the wrong mount point? [04:30] don't you need xwindow or xorg installed to run Wine? [04:30] thanks a lots [04:30] IndyGunFreak, to get the resolution right when two monitors are connected, edit the xorg.conf manually. There is a line that refers to virtual screens. Change that to the resolution that is supported by both monitors. [04:30] IndyGunFreak, still confused? [04:30] joeb3_: i've never had ot mess w/ xorg to make mydual screens work.. ever [04:30] FuriousGeorge: Using a USB keyboard with a PS/2 socket on the computer? or the otherw ay around? (using a PS/2 keyboard in a USB port) [04:31] IndyGunFreak, Your welcome.. [04:31] joeb3_: what are you talking about "your'e welcome".. id idn't ask you a question [04:31] IndyGunFreak, in your own way, you said thank you for offering a suggestion. [04:31] Whats the most secure on the fly encrpytion? I am currently using "encfs" and I was wondering what it would take to crack it and if there is anything better. Thanks. [04:32] joeb3_: uh, no i didn't.. i've had dual screens working just fine for.. a year?.. i didn't need a suggestion. [04:32] i think.. in your own way, you're deeply confused [04:32] i am assuming i need to install xorg to run wine am i correct? [04:32] IndyGunFreak, glad I could help. [04:32] sorbix, i just installed ubuntu 8.04 lts from CD, but when i boot it up i get to a command line, and startx says xinit isn't installed [04:32] whatever joeb3_ now you're just trolling [04:33] Kne: Does it say "busybox" at the top? [04:33] jordan_u: no [04:33] Kne: Did the installer say that the install completed successfully? [04:34] jordan_u: i think so, it spit out the disc and there were no error messages [04:34] who was helping me [04:34] I have a Wine problem, and the error isn't showing up in web search results. "the driver has failed to allocate AGP memory" [04:34] sorry, i forgot the nick >:/ [04:34] jordan_u: i've reinstalled it a few times now [04:35] Well then [04:35] in "KompoZer" is there a way to make a clickable "Roll-Over" Image? [04:35] Kne: Does it ask you to login after it boots or does it go directly to a shell? [04:35] Can OpenOffice read .docx or any .***x office files? [04:35] Whats the most secure on the fly encrpytion? I am currently using "encfs" and I was wondering what it would take to crack it and if there is anything better. Thanks. [04:35] jerald, most all [04:35] jordan_u: it asks me to login first [04:35] Alright [04:35] jordan_u: i've also gone through apt-get update and upgrade and dist-upgrade [04:35] jerald: yes [04:36] Kne: Does anything happen when you run "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" ? [04:36] I have some .docx and some whatever the Excel files are from 2007 [04:36] Is it possible for me to change my DNS on Ubuntu, if so, how? [04:36] jordan_u: i'll try that, brb for a sec, only have one lan line [04:36] jerald: why i do setup (hd0) it says /boot/grub/stage1/ is not founder [04:36] what to do now? [04:37] rahh, was that meant to be aimed towards me? [04:37] also when i use `find /boot/grub/stage1` or `find /grub/stage1/` it don't find anything [04:37] jerald: yes, since you're the super active helper here :p [04:37] Rahh, I am new to Ubuntu [04:37] me too [04:37] damn thing [04:37] I am asking questions, not helping [04:37] ah [04:37] aight bro [04:38] someone was helping me already but i forgot his nick [04:38] damnit [04:38] !enter | rahh [04:38] rahh: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[04:39] jerald: by installing bind for a start [04:39] in whatever case, I finally got Ubuntu to boot by booting in "recovery mode" and selecting "try to fix x server" before resuming normal boot. one booted, I can go to System > Administration > Hardware Driver, and it gives me the option to "Enable NVIDIA accelerated graphics card driver", but if I do that, it requires a restart and then it all happens all over again [04:39] rahh, do you know the syntax? [04:39] what package manager do you use? [04:39] apt or yum? [04:39] rahh, me? [04:40] no, jerald [04:40] This is Ubuntu.... so... what do you think....

[04:42] if you're under root premission already, then you don't need to sudo [04:42] Ok [04:42] if you're on a normal user account, then you'd need sudo [04:42] apt-get install bind9 [04:42] it seems like you're new to linux :p [04:42] Me? [04:42] so, who's going to help me now? [04:42] jerald: yeah. [04:42] Uh, does anyone know how I can connect to a Windows network?

[05:22] patrick_: compiz is the cube and wobbly windows and desktop effects. beryl is the window decoration (the frame around the window) ... you can use them together or not it is up to you [05:22] kaiwen: There are lots of ways to login remotely. To activate xdmcp, you need to adjust your gdm configuration. I'm not sure that VNC server has a X server, so you may need to run VNC on any host you wish to access from VNC. [05:23] oh ok [05:23] wizardslovak: was the blank screen the screensaver kicking in?

[05:25] ere4si: "dpkg:too many errors,stopping" [05:25] ok thanks i'll look into it now ;) [05:25] the free version allows 2 user accounts [05:25] kaiwen: You'd need to have an X server on the other computer to use xdcmp [05:25] wizardslovak: try sudo apt-get -f install [05:26] persia, there is xserver on the other computer [05:26] the business versions cost money, but it is the best...blows VNC out of the water [05:26] kaiwen: In that case, just have that X server use xdcmp to log into your machine. Why use VNC? [05:26] hello guys, anybody here have vpnclient working with ubuntu 8.04 [05:26] haha k, thanks :D [05:27] persia...I wa thinking that he/she was running X as eing in the Ubuntu room :D [05:27] how do i check if i have dapper or edgy? [05:27] persia, so I could run the client os and ubuntu via vnc or somewhat on one computer [05:27] kind of like virtualization but not [05:27] ere4si: "e:dpkg was interupted,you must manually run "dpkg --configure -a" to correct the problems [05:27] complexity__ thanks complexity for the link i think this is what i need :D [05:28] kaiwen: you are welcome :D [05:28] share it with others [05:28] ere4si: i did run it again and same think [05:28] wizardslovak: and that gives errors yes?

[05:29] kaiwen, I'm trying to get my wireless (wpc54g V3) working with ndiswrapper, but I've had no luck [05:30] ushimitsudoki1: dapper is good for nearly a year [05:30] and its asking me if im on edgy or dapper [05:30] WPA works "out of box" from feisty on, form my experience [05:30] Winston_SmithVT do you ahve the driver? [05:30] ere4si: sure but sounds like a new user and that's why i wonder why he would be messing with an older version, that's all [05:30] but i have ubuntu 8.04 [05:30] anyone knows of a different patch for vpnclient [05:30] patching file interceptor.c [05:30] Hunk #3 FAILED at 111. [05:30] i can get my WLAN working fine with no security, the moment it tries to use wpa or wep it fails :( [05:30] complexity__ Depends on the card/chipset [05:30] Winston_SmithVT you did do ndiswrapper -i *drivername in inf format* [05:30] kaiwen, yes I have the .sys and .inf file [05:31] Winston_SmithVT did you do that? [05:31] Jack - thanx for the info [05:31] np [05:31] patrick_: then that is the "hardy" (codename) relase - the current version [05:31] kaiwen, I don't think that was the command I used, let me check [05:31] any good flash editors for ubuntu?

[05:32] Okay so I tried this and it didn't work. Just sat there: sudo apt-get install $(php5)=$(5.1.3) [05:32] kaiwen, I used sudo ndiswrapper -i ~/Desktop/driver.inf, driver being the name of the driver inf [05:32] Jack_Sparrow is your connection open? [05:32] Jack; Mine worked OOB - and it was the dreaded Broadcom [05:32] Is that wrong? [05:32] Winston_SmithVT and it goes through successfull right? [05:33] kaiwen, yes [05:33] complexity__ there are something like 4 different versions of the bcm43xx [05:33] wizardslovak: try sudo apt-get --reinstall install "packages" - the same ones you were trying to get before [05:33] Winston_SmithVT ok do this depmod -a [05:33] I was suprised! [05:33] kaiwen What? [05:33] kevin : what are you using to connect with your wireless network [05:33] wow! [05:33] Winston_SmithVT sudo depmod -a i mean [05:33] Guess I got lucky :D [05:33] ere4si: well i dont know names of packages [05:33] do you mean what is my wireless card called? or my ISP? [05:34] kaiwen, nada nothing comes up [05:34] greenman: yes. the $(xxx) form is a hint that you substitute the appropriate values. So, in your case you want: "sudo apt-get install php5=5.1.3" this won't work, though, because that version is not in the repositories [05:34] hi all i read a few post on changing my splash screen being vary new to this is there any easy ways ? [05:34] Winston_SmithVT that's fine [05:34] greenman: so if you are sure you need that specific version, you will likely have to install it yourself [05:34] Winston_SmithVT then do modprobe -i ndiswrapper [05:34] ushimitsudoki1, so you can't get 5.1.3 now? [05:34] ere4si: whatever i type it says dpkg was interrupted [05:34] Winston_SmithVT with sudo [05:34] kaiwen, Question would it matter if the .inf was named differant from the .sys? === Kasian is now known as Kasian_away [05:35] Winston_SmithVT idk [05:35] kaiwen, same nothing [05:35] Jack_Sparrow it probably is in restricted mde [05:35] ushimitsudoki1, won't that run roughshod over ubuntu's install though? I ran into that problem using gentoo if you installed something by yourself, it screwed with the os installed stuff [05:35] wizardslovak: another go - this time sudo apt-get -f install - no packages just -f install [05:35] Winston_SmithVT do ndiswrapper -l and tell me what you see [05:36] i cant find the compizconfig-setting-managing file [05:36] can some 1 help me [05:36] trussn: my wireless info is: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 02) [05:36] kaiwen You seem to be talking to the wrong person, I have no issues or questions. [05:36] ere4si: "dpkg was interrupted ..." [05:36] :(:( [05:36] greenman: no no you can install to /opt or somewhere and only call that version specifically when you need to. this is needed sometimes with java for example. you have to be careful, but it is certainly possible [05:36] oh woops sry Jack_Sparrow, who does though?

[06:12] ushimitsudoki1: Oooh, neat! That shows me the current kernel Hz! Thank you 8) Unfortunately I'm on 6.06, so it's at 100 (surprised I am, I thought it defaulted to 250)... Are YOU perchance on Hardy Heron? [06:12] zubumufu: That's rather specific, google might be a better resource for you. [06:12] adamonline45: i am, but i am running a real-time kernel so mine is 1000HZ [06:12] oh dang it worked!!!!!! [06:12] Because full disk encryption is available on the alternate CD, but I imagine the custom Dell cd is a LiveCD. [06:12] finally i been trying to do this all day [06:12] thx guys [06:13] I've been trying to Google it, but I can't find any results. [06:13] Anyone know how to play *.pmp media file (from Sony PSP)? [06:13] ushimitsudoki1: ooh neat, that's what I want, hehe... I take it you've extensively modified your kernel? [06:13] zubumufu: Google what? [06:13] jska: Consider VLC. [06:13] adamonline45: no no there is a -rt kernel in the repositories. simple to install [06:13] Full disk encryption on a Dell Inspiron 530N. [06:13] You want to? Why? [06:13] ushimitsudoki1: Oh realllly now [06:13] zubumufu: Ah, yes. That's correct. You won't be able to use the dell custom CD to install LUKS, you'll have to use the alternate CD. Whether you can get the dell stuff later, I'm not sure. [06:14] Dang [06:14] ushimitsudoki1: That sounds promising! Do I have to compile from source, or can I upgrade from 6.06 using some utility, do you know? [06:14] MasterFruityLoop: I try with VLC,xine,mplayer,but not work [06:14] Buying Dell is supposed to make it easier. [06:14] Weird... [06:14] What is dell adding to the install? [06:14] sekyourbox: aptitude: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/aptitude.html [06:14] jska: Have you considered talking to the all knowing? [06:15] I dunno, drivers or something. [06:15] Gun_Smoke: mp3 and dvd, I believe, plus who knows what else [06:15] hello [06:15] thanks [06:15] adamonline45: yes, give it a try. note that if you have compiled any drivers you will prob have to reinstall when you change kernels (like nvidia). You do not have to compile the -rt kernel. Not sure about 6.06 - Me, i would go ahead and upgrade to 8.04, but that might not be an option for you [06:15] Dual monitors on a Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] any one know where to start? [06:15] zubumufu: It does make it easier. I believe dell has their own repositories, which may be where you get those extras [06:15] Oh and it includes the DVD playback stuff on the Dell CD. [06:16] Yeah, I'm probably still going to get it, but I'm just bracing for the difficulty. [06:16] zubumufu: I doubt it'll be difficult. But you should call and ask if they have a repository to enable you to install that stuff afterwards, or what. [06:17] Flannel: Yeah, that's a good idea. [06:18] ushimitsudoki1: No, no, I am fine going to 8.04; I'm actually excited because last time I looked into it it was still in beta 8) By my question I mean, is it possible that I can just upgrade from 6.06 to 8.04 -rt ? Or do you think I'd need to start anew? Oh, also, this is 6.06 server... do you know if there's an 8.04 -rt server version? (googling simultaneously, but direct help is sure a sweet nectar 8)) [06:18] hey anyone can help me, when i try to play and system sounds they wont work, but ever other type of sound works, MP3, flash etc [06:18] adamonline45: You can upgrade from 6.06 to 8.04 yes. But you should upgrade first, and then add the realtime kernel afterwards [06:18] trying to use evolution as the mail client for gmail. trouble is it's downloading every e-mail I ever had in gmail. anyone know how to set it to just get NEW e-mail? [06:18] im using ALSA and the login logout sounds play fine when i actually logout but when i try to test any system sounds they wont work including those [06:19] and every other system sound wont work at all [06:19] try turning all of your sound outputs alsa [06:19] they are [06:19] i think its a bug [06:19] adamonline45: There is no realtime server edition, but that doesn't make a lot of sense anyway. Server kernel has longer periods between interrupts over the desktop CD, and stuff like that. Sort of the opposite direction of the realtime kernel. Why are you interested in -rt anyway? [06:19] adamonline45: i think you have to upgrade from one version to the next? not sure about that but i bet upgrade manager will walk you through it. I don't think the kernel is different between server and non-server versions, it is just the included packages (again not sure about that either). [06:19] drew_chicago: That's not how IMAP works [06:19] this happens a lot and sorry to say there are a lot of fixes depending on the exact sound problem [06:20] another fix was to download alsa gui and make sure it is not muted [06:20] flannel, so I have to download over 10,000 emails? [06:20] the exact problem is system sounds dont work except login/out but they only work when i do login, if i test them they dont play [06:20] drew_chicago: You have to download 10,000 headers more likely. [06:20] its not I have alsa gui [06:20] ok, maybe I should set it to just get the headers then [06:21] thanks, if nothing else that'll save some time [06:21] hey [06:21] i just enable the cube feature [06:21] now does any 1 know how i can view it in cube [06:21] cd // [06:21] hello, i need help installing "uplink-complete-1[1].54.sh" [06:21] drew_chicago: Also you may want to set it to download all the bodies too, and just leave it running overnight or whatnot. Save you from having to do it in the future [06:22] patrick_: ctrl+alt and left/right arrow [06:22] patrick_: or use the mouse [06:22] patrick download advanced desktop effects in the add/remove programs [06:22] flannel ok thanks, leaving it run at night should workout okay, thanks! [06:22] Flannel: That sounds acceptable. Installing a new kernel is "new" territory for me, and I hate to have downtime; but it should pay off! I am using this for a Counter-Strike: Source server. Do you suppose I should just go for the desktop version? I went with server edition to cut down on any overhead (even though I would just run in init 3 or 2 (hehe, man, it's been a while!) [06:22] then go to prefrences and enable [06:22] oh ok thx [06:23] adamonline45: do you use this machine for your desktop as well? [06:23] where are system sounds located so i cna try manually play them [06:23] I get this message, "I could not start your session and so I have . . " and then no desktop. How to fix this. [06:24] Flannel: Nope, purely for a dedicated CS server; all CLI... Doesn't even have a head... [06:24] tuxxy go to system prefrences sound [06:24] is there a trivial way to mount fatx partitions in ubuntu? I don't see any references to a kernel module in synaptic, and i *assume* it's not compiled into the default kernel, can anyone confirm this and tell me how I would go about getting the appropriate fatx kernel module? [06:24] adamonline45: I'd stick with the server kernel then, if your hardware supports it. [06:24] Flannel: So you might see why I went with server edition... But apparenly I mis-assumed the strengths of it!:O [06:25] adamonline45: you'll get worse performance for that with the realtime kernel. [06:25] you can also double click on the sound icon and try different devices to see if they work [06:27] where are system sounds located so i cna try manually play them [06:27] hey [06:28] Flannel: Very well... Oh, really? Well, basically, I need to have at least 200 game updates/second (500 is ideal, but my rig sure as heck doesn't do THAT!)... Right now I'm artificially capped at 100 because of the kernel; and it's been really bad... When I was running my old custom kernel (up to a few months ago), I had 500 kernel Hz, and that was giving players an average of 50 updates/second (as opposed to ~25 now). [06:28] for anyone heres a fix for 8.04 sound http://dontfeedtheseagulls.com/2008/05/04/realtek-alc888-and-ubuntu-hardy-heron-low-audio-problem/ [06:28] good day everyone [06:28] Flannel: So, if I stick with the server edition (my preference, tbh), what are my options for increasing that kernel frequency? Is there a pre-made kernel for it, inthe same way that there is the -rt kernel for the desktop version? [06:28] other sound problems mostly tell you to install flashplugin non-free [06:29] i dont have problems with sound [06:29] the problem is system sound files wont play everything else will [06:29] adamonline45: Try the generic kernel. It has interrupts scheduled closer together. [06:29] ushimitsudoki1: I haven't forgotten, hehe! Thank you for you help; I've got a great base for research now 8) [06:29] Flannel: Is the generic kernel not the same that it comes with by default? [06:29] adamonline45: The server kernel has longer interrupt periods (to allow more work to be done), but apparently you need more frequent ones. [06:29] how do I remove the unused options in the grub window?? [06:30] adamonline45: well good luck there sounds like Flannel has the good word on the matter [06:30] adamonline45: the generic kernel is the default one now, yes. On Dapper it was -686 -386 -k7 etc, now they're all wrapped into one. -geeric [06:30] Flannel: Indeed, there are only a handful of 2D vectors and net packets that it has to deal with at each update... [06:30] tuxxy the sounds are disabled by default [06:31] Flannel: Oooh, okay. So, if I update to Hardy Heron, would that include a Kernel update to this Generic one? [06:31] adamonline45: Alright, well, if generic isn't fast enough, you *could* try -rt but I'd definately *try* it first. And see if itsbetter or not. [06:31] adamonline45: If you have -server installed now, you'll have -server installed then. [06:31] if you want to add sounds go to sytem click prefrences then click on the sounds tab [06:31] I installed the the extra stuff codecs and it works on some sites but iam visiting the apple site to check a video but it errors me out; failed toconnect stream :invalid argument thisis the link http://www.apple.com/retail/?cid=CDM-US-iPod-C0007732-130246&Email_PageName=C0007732-130246&Email_OID=330641&cp=130246&sr=em [06:32] anyone know if you can set global hotkeys in VLC? [06:33] the sound files at /usr/share/sounds work fine if i play them manually, but wont work if i test them or try to apply them [06:33] Flannel: ooh, ok. I'll have to find out how to change kernels then! Do you happen to know how I find out the different kernel frequencies of the -server -vs- the -generic kernels? Google is being minimally helpful in that regard... [06:33] L_inf1: You need to edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst Make sure you save a backup of the file before you do any editing! [06:33] in system > prefs > sound === yee is now known as WebWalker [06:34] tuxxy just click on the sound tab in that menu [06:34] then add the sounds [06:35] jordan_u ; if you're still here, your solution worked, thanks for the help :) [06:35] I'm having an issue with my HP pavilion DV9235nr where it just occasionally freezes; any music playing starts skipping, and it doesn't respond at all even to ctrl-sysrq shortcuts. [06:35] lacuna: yes you can set hot keys settings>prefre>interface>global [06:35] This only happens during moments of high load (youtube, video games). Any ideas? [06:35] lacuna: yes you can set hot keys settings>prefre>interface>hotkeys [06:35] okay, thanks. needed to know before i switched [06:35] lacuna: sorry for previes one [06:35] adamonline45: You'll just install the -generic metapackage, um... I have an info page re: -generic and -server (actually geared towards server, but it'll work) [06:36] does anyone have linux on the playstation [06:36] Flannel: Cool! sounds like that'll help! :D [06:37] er, Flannel^^ === peppe is now known as Guest28385 [06:37] is there any software to create animated flash in linux [06:37] opps i think blender is one === yee is now known as WebWalker [06:38] never mind i m wrong [06:38] lyk3n: blender is for 3d I want just for 2d [06:38] sorry [06:39] hello everyone, hope you're all having a good evening... Question on running Sierra Wireless USBConnect 881 on Ubuntu 8.04... Can anyone help? [06:39] adamonline45: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/features/kernel [06:41] Flannel: Haha, I must owe you a couple brews by now... But, didn't you propose I stick with the server install? If I go from -server kernel to -generic kernel, will it still be a 'server' install? It looks like the comparison on that article is between Ubuntu Server and Ubuntu Desktop... [06:42] I have followed the instructions on SIerra Wireless's website up to the kernel patch part... wasn't sure if I need to patch the kernel on 8.04 or not... [06:42] adamonline45: The kernel has nothing to do with the desktop environments (or lack thereof) installed. [06:43] http://www.sierrawireless.com/faq/ShowFAQ.aspx?ID=607 [06:43] Flannel: That's what I suspected 8) Just that the desktop comes with -generic, so the numbers presented still answer my question, then! hehe :) [06:44] i need help to access my windows pc which is connected with a lan cable [06:44] can anyone help me [06:45] neil, you need Samba install to your system [06:45] I get this message during bootup, "I could not start your session and so I have started the failsafe xterm session. Windows now have focus only if you. . " and then no desktop. How to fix this. [06:45] i have gsambad [06:45] neil, you need Samba install to your Linux system [06:45] Flannel: Well, I think I've got enough information now! Thank you for all your help, I think you've shown me a good path to take :) [06:46] adamonline45: Hope you get it all sorted out. [06:46] hey iam trying to stream movie clips on www.apple.com and it doesnt load up even though i installed the extra stuff codecs [06:46] i do i have gsambad [06:47] when i go to places network it doesnt show up [06:48] where can i get samba [06:48] neil, what distro your are having?

I just got this because I wanted to get away from it and learn something else [07:04] jerald: ati,nvidia,intel,sis ?? or what? [07:04] I just said INTEL [07:04] x.x [07:04] !patience | jerald [07:04] jerald: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available.

Run « xrandr » in a terminal to list the possible resolutions [07:04] Ubuntu is a good place to start jerald. Some things are different though - namely, it doesn't technically have a "control panel" like windows does [07:05] jerald: If your xorg.conf is blank, you likely opened the wrong file. [07:05] CHaiNS: Please be helpful in this channel. [07:05] fondorl, these setting are wrong, hence why it is causing the thing to NOT work, and makes the screen all flashy [07:06] I've added a user to sudoers with visudo [07:06] and set it NOPASSWD=ALL [07:06] Could I possibly find my Intel drivers so I can freaking see without getting a headache [07:06] like ya do when you want it to be able to sudo without asking for a pass [07:06] yet it insists on asking me for sudo password. [07:06] jerald: Check to make sure if your missing anything in the file path... Linux is case sensitive so typing x11 instead of X11 could be why yo are not seeing anything .. like flannel referred to [07:06] with his attitude i should be helpful? [07:07] is there any advantage using the Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-19-rt over using the Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-19-generic? [07:07] CHaiNS: If you're going to respond at all, you should be helpful, yes. [07:07] Screw thsi [07:07] This [07:07] jerald: are you on a CRT?

[07:07] Flannel: Hows it hangin bro? [07:08] jerald: «sudo lshw -class display» will show you the specs on your graphics hardware. [07:08] ph0rensic: Howdy. Doing fine, yourself?

[07:08] No [07:09] jerald: What is the problem? [07:09] Flannel: Because I'm running dsh from another machine [07:09] Forget it... I am probably just going back to XP [07:09] and it needs sudo permissions to copy into the right directories [07:09] jerald: what did xrandr say the highest solution was?

[07:12] I've now uncommented that line [07:12] and added the user to the sudo group in /etc/group [07:12] should that suffice?

[07:14] ph0rensic: thecus...like a buffalo...raid 5 4 disk array [07:14] steveydoteu: It may behoove you to stick with the x86 version [07:14] wookienz: Ok, so that should rule out permissions based discrepancies on the NAS server, so it should be a mounting issue [07:14] ph0rensic, why so? [07:15] the lack of ram would hold me back? [07:15] steveydoteu: I've fooled around with both, and the thing is there is more support for the x86 version.. and not too much performance gain [07:15] aah [07:15] I see [07:15] ph0rensic: if the nas was ntfs can i still mount it? unsure if it is or not. [07:16] Can i get a ban pls [07:16] Debanman: Please take it up in #ubuntu-ops [07:16] wookienz: Yes but you have to have parameters set so it knows how to mount it [07:16] another question, if i just tried a distro upgrade to 8.10 via > update-manager -d and it failed, how do i clean up/rollback without having to completely reinstall the system [07:17] ph0rensic: http://paste.ubuntu.com/45185/ [07:17] hey ph0rensic: I'm back..rebooted and same senario.

[08:57] baba_melone: AMD's x86-64bit out performs Intel's x86-64, due to Intel not implemented /some/ instruction sets on 64bit [08:57] baba_melone: Which leads to: How fast it is compared to 32bit? [08:58] baba_melone: Not very much, 64bit has larger addressing range, and that means slower memory latency, Intel has the memory controller on chipset side(northbridge), AMD has it on CPU directly, result: AMD wins.

[09:24] I have a really annoying issue. The screen saver I have set to default crashes x-server and when I try to use the gui It loads the screen saver. Text based way out of this? [09:24] Is it possible to make ubuntu use a usb stick as its swap partition, im sick of hearing this crappy laptop thrash the harddrive [09:25] xess: figure out what the screen saver program is and where it's config lives... text file or gconf. gconf has text and gui edit tools avail [09:25] xess: meaning the screensaver runner, not the screensaver itself [09:25] yo yo yo [09:26] The screen saver that starts up when I become ideal. [09:26] xess: you cant change to another screensaver that doesnt crash? [09:26] my bf did something to my ubuntu machine a while back to make it boot into the 18 kernel, because virtualbox wasn't available for the 19 kernel at the time. now that it is available, what do I change to boot into the 19 now?

[09:27] ActionParsnip: Hey, you mind helping me out? [09:27] g33k_gir1: If you have the 19 kernel installed, then the menu.lst would be what to edit. [09:27] thumb nail crashes it too. [09:27] g33k_gir1: gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and edit the default to point to whichever kernel you wanna boot [09:27] GamingX: sup [09:28] awesome, thanks guys [09:28] g33k_gir1: theres a .21 kernel out now [09:28] I am having a problem installing Ubuntu 8.04, I keep getting redirected to an 'initramfs' prompt, how do I solve it?

[10:09] Guest88357: yes [10:09] hi all [10:09] Guest88357: file -> new tab [10:09] like frostwire [10:09] or lime wire [10:09] or whatever is easy [10:09] i was listening to music with exaile and then i restart [10:09] ikonia, oh wow, thanks [10:09] now i hasen't sound [10:09] owh: How do I check if data packets are being transferred? [10:09] Guest88357: Or you can just type Ctrl-T in the terminal :) [10:09] !gnutella | patrick_ [10:09] patrick_: Gnutella clients: GTK-Gnutella (GTK, stand-alone), gifTui, giFToxic (GTK, based on giFT), Apollon (KDE, based on giFT), mldonkey-gui (GTK, based on MLDonkey), KMLDonkey (KDE, based on MLDonkey), !Limewire, !Frostwire (Java, not in the !repositories) - See also !P2P [10:10] ikonia, is there a way to have it so when i start it i can see already more than one tab? [10:10] GamingX: How long have you been waiting? [10:10] patrick_: they are just gnutella clients [10:10] Guest88357: I'm sure there will be a config option for it somewhere, possible a gconf option [10:10] owh, Ctrl + T doesnt do it... [10:10] the volume manager has X(cross) [10:10] ikonia, yes, the terminal itself has no options... [10:10] when i click on it [10:10] patrick_: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/general-linux-support/39850-how-install-limewire-ubuntu-debian.html [10:10] it says [10:10] My sound goes when I use frostwire, comes back when I do a restart [10:10] Guest88357: Doh, that should be Ctrl Shift T :) [10:11] oh ok [10:11] HASS97: log a bug [10:11] thx [10:11] owh: The installation seems to be going on. Its moved on to 87%. Guess I was hasty. [10:11] owh: well, I looked at the screen, by sight, It surely wasn't a small resolution [10:11] hi [10:11] owh, is there a way to change that? so it is only ctrl t? and also the ctrl shift v for paste? [10:11] im creating debian package with my program but [10:11] what if it depnds of red5 server [10:11] and there is no red5 server package [10:11] :/ [10:11] kibibyte: make a red5 package then [10:11] Is there anyway I can fix it [10:11] Guest88357: The tab is Ctrl + Shift + T [10:12] ok [10:12] ;/ [10:12] kibibyte: ten the install will fail as deps are not made, the installer will handle that [10:12] owh, yes i saw that, can i change it? [10:12] kibibyte: it won't be installable. You may wish to ask future questions in #ubuntu-motu, and also don't use the enter key as punctuation. [10:12] I'll only log a bug if there is no other option [10:12] Flannel, so how to make it instalable [10:12] make own red5 pacjage? [10:12] package [10:12] kibibyte: You'd have to satisfy the dependencies [10:12] Guest88357: Yes, in Keyboard Shortcuts [10:13] ok [10:13] Guest88357: (In the Edit menu) [10:13] ok, thanks [10:13] kibibyte: if your building a deb and it needs dependencies that don't exist, its most practical for you to package the dependencies [10:13] Can someone help me then? [10:13] GamingX: Patience is a virtue :) [10:13] owh and ikonia, thanks for your precious help. it is nice this channel has people like you [10:13] i will be going [10:13] ciao [10:14] HASS97: I would look at dmesg output and /var/log/syslog before I did anything. [10:14] ikonia, but package the dependicies in one .deb or standalones? [10:14] owh, cd image is fine now [10:14] next try ;) [10:14] DASPRiD: Excellent. [10:14] kibibyte: standalone [10:14] kibibyte: putting multiple packages in one deb is not a good idea [10:14] ok [10:15] owh: I dont really know what to look for in that lof [10:15] sorry i meant log [10:15] HASS97: Well, look at the end of both, then launch the application, look again, then quit, then look again, see what gives. [10:16] HASS97: You'll need to get some data to figure out what is happening. [10:16] HASS97: dmesg | tail [10:16] owh: OK Thanks will do that right away [10:16] HASS97: I've not heard of what you describe, so you'll need to use some initiative. === akio is now known as Asashi [10:17] can someone here help me with using emacs? I've got a question regarding frames. [10:17] hi [10:17] how do i change what application the search application uses to open .mp3 ? [10:18] moncojhr: which application is that? nautilus? [10:18] moncojhr: or konqueror [10:18] moncojhr: just change the file association preferences in either [10:18] outbackwifi: the thing under places->search (in ubuntu by defualt) [10:18] leveld: You might have more luck in #emacs [10:18] moncojhr: ah nautilus [10:18] Flannel: thanks [10:19] owh: I didn't hae any means to check, I actually tried to evaluate this by sight. That is the icons and the whole gui couldn't have been on too small a resolution. Actually I am not sure that it is the 1280x800 that it should be (I use a widescreen laptop) but it is surely something not far off. [10:19] What font of the Latin Script in the GNOME Character Map is the most complete (most ample) one? [10:19] CaveSnow: Are you running Ubuntu on the laptop right now? [10:19] no [10:20] CaveSnow: Is this your only machine? [10:20] owh: I am now under windows since Xubuntu is unusable [10:20] moncojhr: would this help --> http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2006/09/03/ubuntu-linux-file-associations/ [10:20] CaveSnow: Right - so, if you run the LiveCD, what happens? [10:20] owh: well, more or less, But if it helps I have access to the linux partition from here [10:21] CaveSnow: where's here? Windows? [10:21] outbackwifi: yep [10:21] CaveSnow: install explore2fs [10:21] CaveSnow: that should detect your linux partitions and let you copy from them [10:22] outbackwifi: ill try it, although at the moment the nautilus file browser opens it with the correct application [10:22] outbackwifi: Before we start installing things, perhaps we should learn to find out what is wrong first. [10:22] CaveSnow: So, again, if you run the LiveCD, what happens? [10:22] owh: he wants to open linux partitions from windows [10:22] owh: end of story; no ubuntu [10:22] outbackwifi: No he doesn't. [10:23] owh --> But if it helps I have access to the linux partition from here [10:23] thats what he said [10:23] outbackwifi: What he wants to do is run xbuntu with a normal resolution and he lamented that he couldn't see the partitions. [10:23] or i misread [10:23] outbackwifi: Seeing the partitions won't help solve the resolution issue. [10:23] owh: well actually, I downloaded the alternate cd (my fault) so I do not have the live cd. [10:23] outbackwifi: this doesnt work, i already had it set like this, i think the search app isnt apart of nautlius [10:23] Whats the default app to open rar files in ubuntu? [10:24] unrar [10:24] !rar [10:24] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [10:24] CaveSnow: That's fine. That gives us more information. [10:24] GamingX: if you install unrar, ark willunderstand them [10:24] GamingX: id also install 7z too ;) [10:24] So... what's a good mindmapping tool for either Gnome or KDE? [10:24] ok, thanks [10:24] CaveSnow: What you need to do is boot into xubuntu again and do some checking. Let me tell you why. [10:24] hateball: I use labyrinth [10:25] !7z [10:25] Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [10:25] hateball: it's a little simplistic, but does the job well for me [10:25] CaveSnow: You could have a problem with fonts, or you could have a problem with resolution, or you could have a problem with the video driver. All are possible. [10:25] hateball: there's also freemind (java based) [10:25] CaveSnow: At the moment we don't know which of those is the one that's causing grief. [10:25] A question,my seahorse cannot work proply [10:25] leveld: It's for end users... (teachers) so I think I need something more... GUI-ish :) [10:26] CaveSnow: It's made a little harder because you cannot run the machine and talk here at the same time :( [10:26] leveld: I've considered Freemind [10:26] owh: System? Ok, here goes: Toshiba Satellite A100-233 with intel core duo (the 32 bit one) with mobile intel(R) 945GM Express [10:26] I cannot input any password while encrypt or other action [10:26] * outbackwifi had one of those too [10:26] hateball: also, vym and kdissert [10:26] owh, looks like instlalation works this time, thanks agian ;) [10:26] DASPRiD: All good :) [10:26] question guys, how do I "label" ext3 partitions, so they get mounted with their names rather than "disk" or "123Gb Volume" (much like NTFS ones) ? [10:26] leveld: Yeah I tried kdissert, seemed nice enough [10:26] owh: Sorry there, well I could set up an other pc but it will take some time... [10:26] hateball: if you don't like either of them, I can't help you ... :) [10:27] CaveSnow: Well, the alternative is to download the LiveCD. [10:27] leveld: Well there's a couple of choices there, cheers :) [10:27] I tried `e2label` without much effect. [10:27] CaveSnow: I cannot tell you which will be simpler. [10:27] !find label | lmg [10:27] lmg: '|' is not a valid distribution [10:27] !find label [10:27] Found: cdlabelgen, glabels, glabels-data, glabels-dev [10:27] owh: do you think that livecd will detect my wireless card [10:28] nobody can reply me? [10:28] Hi I updated all my ubuntu after upgradation my synapthic installers are not working :(( [10:28] hi ActionParsnip1: you don't confuse this with lightscribe labels, do you? [10:28] CaveSnow: I cannot answer that because I don't know which card that is. Wireless is notoriously picky. [10:29] lmg: no idea man, sorry [10:29] Aron_: I have no idea what your question is, let alone how we can help. [10:29] owh: if not I will have problems with internet connection, but anyway, Maybe in 30-40 minutes I will be back with another computer by my side. Sorry, the wireless card isL Intel PRO/wireless 3945ABG but I'm not sure if that helps.. Will you be here in 30-40 minutes? [10:30] my seahorse doesn't work proply [10:30] CaveSnow: If not me, there are 1286 others here. [10:30] i still cant get applications outside of nautilus to open specific file types with specific applications [10:30] ActionParsnip1: glabels looks more like a cover-creation software to me [10:30] owh: got the point [10:30] this includes the search application that comes defualt with ubuntu [10:30] I cannot input any password while I use it to encrypt any file [10:31] lmg: ive not used anything like that, try websearch ubuntu label partitions [10:31] also when I want to sign a signature,cannot input the password either [10:31] lmg: or simply put symlinks on your desktop with names [10:31] Hi I updated all my ubuntu after upgradation my synapthic installers are not working :(( [10:31] ActionParsnip1: which got me to `e2label` [10:31] arg, someone please help. I'm sure this is asked every day, but I can't get skype working... I've followed all the web howtos, sound is working, I just can't get the mic input working [10:31] I have checked the volumes and mutes in alsamixer [10:32] ActionParsnip1: agreed, I could. though it's not "_the_" way [10:32] lmg: its how i'd do it if i use gui for file management [10:33] !skype [10:33] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto [10:33] what?

[10:37] owh: no [10:37] oliver_: You shouldn't. [10:37] !paste [10:37] 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) [10:37] ah [10:37] g33k_gir1: Well if it won't work outside skype, it won't work inside skype either :) [10:38] yes, i know ;) thats what I'm trying to get help for [10:38] g33k_gir1: Just for fun, right-click on the speaker icon in the men and choose Open Volume Control [10:38] hey [10:38] owh: ok [10:38] Hi I updated all my ubuntu after upgradation my synapthic installers are not working :(( what should I do to take that back [10:39] owh - imho that is only partly correct.. I have had a system where the mike was working in skype and not yet for other applications - skype seems to bring its own environment to some extent.. or...? [10:39] g33k_gir1: Do you see a window with lots of sliders? [10:39] yes [10:39] owh: I pasted my compiz-check and xorg.conf here http://paste.ubuntu.com/45235/ [10:39] g33k_gir1: Can you see a slider for microphone?

[10:41] Hi I updated all my ubuntu after upgradation my synapthic installers are not working :(( [10:41] owh: no change when trying to record a test sound file (using krec) [10:41] g33k_gir1: So all you have is one tab called "Playback" ? [10:41] owh: it's most likely easier to setup in alsamixer. [10:41] better I try kubuntu they said its easy for new users [10:41] owh: no, the tab is just called HDA intel [10:42] how do i enable javascript to watch youtube videos? [10:42] lmg, owh: I tried this on the command line using alsamixer as well [10:42] g33k_gir1: Lemmie guess, you're not running Ubuntu?

[10:43] g33k_gir1: No, but me telling you where to click and what it looks like won't help :) [10:43] g33k_gir1: I have such a HDA Intel beast too [10:43] owh: lol, so should I jump into #kubuntu and ask there instead? [10:43] owh, argh NO, was a moment afk, and the laptop battery went empty >_> [10:43] how do i enable javascript to watch youtube videos? [10:43] o/ [10:43] g33k_gir1: I think you just got an offer from lmg :) [10:44] owh: ok, here I am with an other pc. [10:44] I'm having a weird problem, I bought a 1TB HDD 2 days ago, installed it (sata), and now everyday I have to do fsck because the disk stops responding, and each time I have FS errors. Anyone know what's happening? (there has been lots of copying in and out of the HD, but all other hds haven't crashed yet) [10:44] DASPRiD: You get that some days - I've been banging my head on a compaq armada 1750 all day :( [10:44] lmg: have you been able to get your mic working?

[10:45] g33k_gir1: certainly. though at the very moment I have 3 capture sources (webcam has a built in, tv-tuner) so I'm trying to figure which is the one.. [10:45] owh, true [10:45] cebot, god wanna say you, that you should use gnome ;) [10:45] Daremonai: anything on the logs?? mainly /var/log/messages and maybe in /var/log/syslog too [10:45] lmg: right... well, I only have the two sources, currently. front and back mic inputs. neither work [10:45] erUSUL, let me check [10:46] It's time for me to wave farewell to all yea Ubuntoids - I'll be back some day - gotta run for dinner :) [10:46] Compiz check is telling me that my fgrlx is not installed. and im using mesa driver, i have posted the compiz check and my xorg.conf here if someone can have a look please [10:46] patrick_: sudo at-get install flashplugin-nonfree [10:46] g33k_gir1: run alsamixer -c 0 and switch to capture by pressing TAB [10:46] does anybody know how to fix white screen with envy installed nvidia drivers for 8600 gt while desktop effects are on. and why games like Doom 3 do not run get vertext low vitrual memory error... i am using ubuntu latest ver latest kernals.

[10:46] lmg: ok [10:46] cebot, no :x [10:47] erUSUL: i used envy to install could that be why? [10:47] g33k_gir1: to the very right you should have Input-Source selectors [10:47] hi! What is the easiest way to profile the entire linux system with large granularity? Just to see how much time is spent in kernel-libc-libxxx-apllication? [10:47] how do i set the defualt application for specific file types? i need to set it for the search tool that comes with ubuntu [10:47] lmg: yep, I see em [10:47] g33k_gir1: are those set to "mic" or "front-mic" respectively? [10:47] lmg: yes [10:47] oliver_: dunno; never used envyng... but it has clearly failed somehow [10:47] !envyng | oliver_ [10:47] oliver_: 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 [10:48] g33k_gir1: and the sliders for the mics are well around 80% and _not_muted_ ? iirc that was my problem in the first place [10:48] g33k_gir1: [M] to un/mute iirc [10:48] lmg: they are all maxed and not muted [10:49] erUSL: Its just that the restricted driver in hardware drivers section gives me the white screen. even if i remove compiz from my system [10:49] !squid [10:49] squid is a caching proxy for the Web.

[10:50] lmg: it shouldn't be this hard :) I got it working on my other machine (although granted, that is running kde3, not 4) [10:50] oliver_: o.0! sorry i'm not really versed with ati cards mine is nvidia ...

It does recursion so I use the ip of the dns server as a resolv.conf entry for each machine hence they can resolve real domains plus the bogus one. The issue i am having is thes [10:59] e in the daemon.log file: http://rafb.net/p/800CFQ95.html I am also getting slow resolution on some domains now and again (intermittent) anyone know what i am doing wrong, i put my isps nameservers as forwarders in the bind config ?

I click the network icon, top right corner and it shows all zeros [11:08] erUSUL, alright, but problem is, I need something to back it up, hehe. 1TB is kinda a lot :P [11:08] bob1: when you plug out and in the ethernet cable, does it spin and then stop with a steady icon?

[11:35] MindSpark, LAMP is a concept, like i was saying .. to have a LAMP server, you install apache, mysql/postgresql/sqlite/etc and PhP/Python/Perl etc .. which is what you have already. [11:35] outbackwifi: from what i am reading (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) is due to me runing nv and not nvidia x or trying to run both... so should i do good clean up and install only nvidia x? [11:35] MindSpark: or just use the lamp package as everyone else is saying [11:35] MindSpark: there is no diference in installing them via lamp metapackage or installing them one by one the end result is the same [11:36] starn: you need to use either nv or nvidia, if you want 3d then you need nvidia but as it is a proprietary driver you need to install it [11:37] Haegin: soo manualy install?

[11:46] I want to make a dvd video and add a folder with pictures on the disk. I can create a dvd iso with devede and i know it's possible to modify the iso (e.g. add the pictures), but will this harm the compatibility of the disk with some dvd players?

[11:46] unop: /etc/bind/named.conf [11:47] bob1: do you have dhcp enabled on your calbe modem/ router or do you assign ip addresses manually? [11:47] Or is there some other method to create a video dvd with a data folder? [11:47] mrwhippy, ok, and if you have a file at "/etc/bind/named.conf.local" .. can you put that up on a pastebin too? [11:47] outbackwifi: I don't know [11:47] unop:sure will do now [11:47] starn: run 'sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx-new' to install the drivers [11:47] bob1: ok the pc that you are using right now, what are the settings; manual or automatic? [11:48] Haegin: for a $100 video card. it was worth it for windows stuff oblivion and crysis ran perfectly.. but for linux so far a pain in my butt.. ok runing now [11:48] unop: http://pastebin.com/d38e2e390 [11:48] can i apt-get xampp?

[11:56] unop: yeah [11:56] tomas_, outbackwifi: there's an easier way [11:56] bruneta [11:56] how :)? [11:56] moncojhr, ok, what did you put in defaults.list? [11:56] tomas_: -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5549171&postcount=8 [11:57] ty^^ [11:57] nutzer, english please [11:57] unop: audio/mpeg=foobar2000.desktop [11:57] tomas_: that should automount the ones seen in "places" [11:57] moncojhr, just that line? [11:57] outbackwifi: I dont see what you mean. I have connection info and edit wireless networks [11:57] unop: yeah [11:57] I have two servers. One uses POP and the other uses IMAP. I would use IMAP for both, but my university doesn't allow IMAP access. So, I want to come up with a way that I can download my POP messages and them upload them to an IMAP server. I already have the emails being downloaded. I now need to figure out how to upload the messages to an IMAP server without being able to set up a script on the server itself. This means that I will need to [11:57] unop: on the server i get the following message Server: 192.168.0.1 /new line Address: 192.168.0.5#53 /new line **server can't find siwntonit.local: NXDOMAIN /end message, what i cant understand is that i have set the dns server in /network interfaces to 192.168.0.5 so why is it saying my gateway address which is 192.168.0.1 next to server [11:57] Hello! Does anyone know why I lost autostart for CD/DVD and SD, but not for usb-flash? [11:57] bob1: are you connected via wifi? [11:58] moncojhr, i think you need the very first line to say [Default Applications] [11:58] unop: yeah i was about to say thats at the top too === chaky_ is now known as chaky [11:58] lmg: i find out the blkid and then use that to make an entry into fstab [11:58] does ubuntu work good on laptop's with built in wifi cards? [11:58] MTecknology, you can try to mix fetchmail with offlineimap (I'm not sure if offlineimap is right tool for the task) [11:58] Felix_Krull: system > preferences > removable media [11:58] <[nrx]> Z3r0C001, yes [11:58] cool [11:58] outbackwifi: what if you boot with an external drive connected? [11:58] I was thinking about buying a laptop here soon [11:59] lmg: even then [11:59] outbackwifi: it will show up in "places" but not be automounted [11:59] outbackwifi: No although I do have a wifi card in this PC [11:59] mrwhippy, i think you've mis-spelt your domain name there - swintonit.local not siwntonit.local [11:59] darkk^: offlineimap sounds interesting :) thanks for the pointer [11:59] lmg: i use an external hdd [11:59] outbackwifi: what if you used mine? without having used it before? :) [11:59] lmg: There is nothing about CD/DVD and SD... [11:59] <[nrx]> Z3r0C001, ubuntu works very well on laptops :) [11:59] Haegin: ok i am back sorry man.. and um full reboot or restart xserver? or is there some thing else i should do first? [12:00] moncojhr, errm, i dunno what foobar2000.desktop does - but i suspect it's one you have created, verify that the file exists [12:00] i wouldnt need to automount it always at the same mount point would i? [12:00] outbackwifi: but you could [12:00] lmg: i dont get the point [12:00] Felix_Krull: sorry. my bad. [12:00] starn: you need to run sudo nvidia-xconfig first [12:01] outbackwifi: point is.. the places menu autodetects drives (internal + external) just fine. so why bother with mountpoints? [12:01] unop: thats on here, its fine on the server when i tried it, also i just tried it on the client and got the following server:unknown /newline address 192.168.0.5 ***Unknown cant find swintonit.local: server failed [12:01] yo yo yo [12:01] what linux game is most similar to Age of Empires? [12:01] Haegin: see i always miss the minor dietals.. anyways done. [12:01] unop: ooh your right, for some reason the file has some crap at the end of the name, but i cant see it in nautilus [12:01] unop: sorry that wasnt very clear the type was on irc not when i did the lookup on the server [12:01] outbackwifi: if you can just set a flag and have everything automounted according to its label. [12:01] lmg: its had it forever so why change something so little [12:01] lmg: if i want my external drive to get mounted always on mount point /media/Backup irrespective of which usb port i plugged it in [12:02] outbackwifi: it should use the volume lable of the device as a mountpoint [12:02] yao_ziyuan: you can run AOE and ROE just fine under linux menus are alittle missed up. you must have wine to do so though [12:02] mrwhippy, ok, what is the ip address of your bind server? [12:02] i broke alsamixer [12:02] outbackwifi: mine gets mounted to /media/EXTERNAL no matter where I plug it in. [12:02] unop: is there a way so i can see the full filenames in nautilus, including the .desktop part [12:02] 192.168.0.5 [12:02] ikonia: itd be nice [12:02] outbackwifi: so if you label it as backup - it should mount on "backup" [12:02] ikonia: better way is to use the blkid (or UUID) [12:02] starn: ok, now restart x. if it all goes wrong then copy the backup the nvidia-xconfig tool created over xorg.conf and run startx to get back on here and moan at me [12:02] outbackwifi: but I never bothered with mountpoints or USB ids. just that one flag [12:02] ikonia: what about duplicated names? [12:02] outbackwifi: a very valid point [12:02] ok [12:02] moncojhr, errm, i don't know, i don't use nautilus very much. [12:02] ActionParsnip1: it appends a _ I believe [12:03] starn: ok [12:03] lmg: i am not facing the issue here [12:03] lmg: please guide the OP [12:03] hello [12:03] unop: what do you use? nautilus is pretty bad... [12:03] i prefer to manually mount [12:03] outbackwifi: apologies, I thought you where the original poster [12:03] outbackwifi: come again, "guide the OP" ? [12:03] hello [12:03] for all [12:03] mrwhippy, try this, on the server itself. nslookup swintonit.local 192.168.0.5 [12:03] How do I delete a file when I get this error: Unable to remove directory foo: File exists, I am using sudo btw [12:03] good morning [12:03] :D [12:03] lmg: original poster --> OP [12:04] powertool08: is it a folder? [12:04] powertool08:sudo rm -fr [12:04] moncojhr, I use the terminal and midnight commander [12:04] ActionParsnip1: btw, e2label did the job fine. showed up after reboot. [12:04] lmg: nie [12:04] *nice [12:04] ActionParsnip1: yes, the only files inside with ls -al are . and ..

[12:04] powertool08: sudo rm -rf foldername [12:04] ActionParsnip1: now the drive is labeled "LINUX64" and gets automounted to /media/LINUX64 [12:04] starn: what is RoE? [12:05] r0nda: pretty much at a core [12:05] Felix_Krull: what happened if you inserted a CD before? [12:05] powertool08: this is like deltree so it will remove all data in that folder, then the folder itself [12:05] r0nda: for the desktop user, I can only think of the lack of sun's java plugin as a problem [12:05] these days when i write a file in vi with :wq the computer stalls for some secs , sometimes i move a small file (like 1kb from one directory to parent directory in the same fs) it stalls [12:05] what could be the reason [12:05] powertool08: very agressive, make sure its empty [12:05] unop: i get the correct server address now, on first attempt it put swintonit.local.swintonit.local: SERVFAIL so i tried it with the . at the end to stop it appending the domain and i got the same message but with only one swintonit.local [12:05] powertool08: just a warning [12:05] unop: my foobar.desktop is actually called userapp-foobar2000-XA2TGU.desktop ... cool [12:05] powertool08: r == fecursive, f == force [12:06] * lmg eyes ActionParsnip1 quizzically [12:06] fecursive, rorce [12:06] mrwhippy, errm, well, i want to know if that command works .. [12:06] heh [12:06] unop: something has just occured to me could it be a firewall or some such blocking requests, this is a fresh install of 8.04 with only dhcp and dns added to it, [12:06] lmg: you know what i meant [12:06] ActionParsnip1: I know that, thats the command which gives the error [12:06] rm: cannot remove directory `Legal': File exists [12:07] outbackwifi: The one I am using now has both wired and a wifi card (not in use) the one I am working on is wired [12:07] ActionParsnip1: absolutely. just kidding a bit. [12:07] What's the best method for creating a multi-part archive with large files? [12:07] unop no i got the server cant find swintonit.local.swintonit.local: SERVFAIL sorry thought i had put that on there [12:07] bob1: can you try this on the machine that doesnt work ->> sudo dhclient eth0 [12:07] powertool08: so sudo rm -rf foldername says legal file exists [12:07]  jrib: is that the only problem ? [12:07] hello people [12:08] Haegin: it dint fix it. it made it worse.... [12:08] powertool08: what filesystem? [12:08] powertool08: can you give a pastebin of the text afetr the executed command including the command [12:08] ActionParsnip1: Legal is the directory I'm trying to delete, which has nothing in it according to ls -al and yes that command gives said error [12:08] unop: thanks for your help :-) [12:08] Haegin: now i am in low gfx mode [12:08] outbackwifi: ntfs :/ [12:08] any body know how to checkout from windows repository to ubuntu linux, i use bazaar-vcs [12:08] ah [12:08] Haegin: and still having same issues [12:08] powertool08: is it mounted with ntfs-3g ?

No working leases in persistent database - sleeping [12:09] outbackwifi: yes, I can delete other things, just not certain directories [12:09] !paste | powertool08 [12:09] powertool08: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [12:09] bob1; so your cable modem is not giving out ips [12:09] powertool08, what filesystem are these files on?

[12:11] bob1: can you type this in the other pc --> sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.5 up [12:11] ActionParsnip1: umm i had same probs with it... [12:11] unop: ntfs [12:11] starn: hmm, odd, lemme think.... [12:11] starn: does your xorg.conf say to use nvidia driver or nv? [12:11] unop: er dont know where do i check [12:11] ActionParsnip1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/45278/ [12:11] how it easy would it be to change if i decided i dont want to use gnome anymore but instead another x server (or is it called desktop environment?) like xfce? [12:11] Haegin: wanna see my xorg.config? [12:11] starn: yeah, go for it [12:11] outbackwifi: OK [12:11] mizipzor: very; just install xfce or kde and select from login screen [12:11] i have installed ubuntu for someone and they want to get their music from itunes store [12:11] ActionParsnip1: it now says nvidia... i use to say nv.. [12:11] mrwhippy, errm, you mentioned earlier about looking through logs? i suppose i am talking about the same file(s)? [12:12] powertool08: what is the output of pwd? [12:12] what does the noddc option in xorg.conf mean? [12:12] outbackwifi: is it equally easy if i want to change to loginmanager/screen? [12:12] outbackwifi: It didn't do anything [12:12] I cannot find anything in the man pages [12:12] other than the wine method, are there any tools for this? [12:12] mizipzor: yes [12:12] unop: i was looking in the syslog to see what was happening when the bind service was starting, i havent looked at any specific bind logs [12:12] Haegin: http://pastebin.com/d3b3f1a69 [12:12] outbackwifi: Did you mean ifconfig or ipconfig? [12:12] outbackwifi: ok, thanks [12:12] bob1: now tell me what the 3rd line of sudo ifconfig eth0 says [12:12] bob1: ifconfig [12:13] mrwhippy, ok, what does this return? ls -l /var/log/*{name,bind}* [12:13] thanks starn [12:13] * outbackwifi thinks ipconfig belongs to a mr gates [12:13] ActionParsnip1: /media/Tools/Compy/Patricia's HD/Program Files/Adobe/Photoshop Album Starter Edition/2.0/Apps/Legal [12:13] powertool08: cd ..; sudo rm -fr Legal [12:13] Does anyone know the meaning of the option noddc [12:13] !skype [12:13] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto [12:13] unop: no such file or directory for both [12:13] powertool08: ahh, ok if some folders have funky permissions you cant delete the folder with ntfs-3g [12:13] cannot find anything in the man pages [12:13] hi, if I try to enable the NVIDIA proprietary driver using the hardware menu, it says "..deb package" not found. Do I need to add an NVDIA repository? Ive already searched docs and no mention of this [12:14] ActionParsnip1: funky permissions? like ntfs encryption or something? [12:14] outbackwifi: inet addr:192.168.10.5 Bcast:192.168.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 [12:14] powertool08: try sudo rm -rf ./Legal [12:14] bob1: now youve got an ip address [12:14] powertool08: or weird ownerships, not permissions inherited from above [12:14] ActionParsnip1: Same error [12:14] Haegin: hey the bright side of being in low gfx mode is i can see the text alot bigger seeing how its almost as big as my head..... [12:15] powertool08: id get something that can delete ntfs folders or bart pe [12:15] ActionParsnip1: I don't know what kind of permissions it had... its part of a backup I did for my aunt and now I don't need it [12:15] bob1: type this command --> echo "nameserver 192.168.10.1" > /etc/resolv.conf [12:15] starn: can you pastebin the output from the following command please: 'sudo aptitude search nvidia-glx | grep "^i" [12:15] Haegin: as a note. my monitor likes to run at 52hz or w/e on linux and on windows 75hz [12:15] ok [12:16] Is possible to run already installed winxp with Virtualbox on Ubuntu [12:16] ? [12:16] ActionParsnip1: is it something I can delete from windows as another user or will I have permissions problems there too? [12:16] powertool08: it has some permissions set on the folder. ususally permissions are inherited using AD so they dont technically have permissions explicitly set on them [12:16] mrwhippy, ok, review syslog now - have a look at what the last few bind/named events, does bind complain about being unable to load zonefiles, etc ? [12:16] outbackwifi: Permission denied [12:16] starn: a TFT? [12:16] powertool08: sure, log in as asmin and take ownership, then delete it [12:16] unop: scrolling through syslog now [12:16] starn: configured properly ? [12:16] ActionParsnip1: ok, thanks [12:16] bob1: sorry you need to be su [12:17] powertool08: ntfs is a proprietary format so writing to it is hard [12:17] powertool08: all files yuo write have default permissions [12:17] bob1: have you used vi or nano before?

[12:43] ScheissDroge1: it gives me no output as to CD intergrity, just returns to Boot GUI [12:44] Hi everybody, I need to know how to configure wine midi!? [12:44] bob1: as i was asking, is there a light glowing on the port that the computer is connected? [12:44] bazhang: started it 7 mins ago, finished around 2 mins ago.

[12:44] should it give me a Media OK output? [12:44] outbackwifi: I have 4 lights, the one labeled "100" is blinking [12:45] ben--: think so, but I will now boot a desk-cd on another machine to tell you [12:45] approx 5 mins. [12:45] bob1: what make router is this? [12:45] ScheissDroge1: thanks. [12:45] _8472: have you considered that maybe it really isn't in gnome? you might be better looking at using another window manager that does support what you want? [12:45] I upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10, the available disk space has reduced drastically [12:45] outbackwifi: The wifi router? [12:45] bob1: when you plug out the patch cord does the light go off? [12:45] hey i got a higher res. but one question.. is it normaly to have the fuzzyness looks? and not show the desktop?? for i used generic LCD panel 1280x1024 [12:45] bob1: yes [12:46] rsa_md5: Accessories -> Disk Usage Analyzer [12:46] !timidity > pere_ [12:46] pere_, please see my private message [12:46] !audacity > pere_ [12:46] outbackwifi: Light goes out, Router is a motorola, a couple a years old. [12:47] helo ppl i have problem with suspend /resume events in gnome ; after resume sesion is blocked by last window with sesion options (logout suspend reboot ..) [12:47] <_8472> Haegin: well, but i'm trying to find if there isn't some "unofficial", maybe hidden bypass [12:47] jrib, how does that solve my problem exactly? :| I removed the old kernel images to gain back some space, but that was only about 115 MB [12:47] bob1: is the other pc also connected to the same router? [12:47] rsa_md5: find out what is taking up all the space. Have you tried 'apt-get clean'? [12:48] jrib, ok trying that, thanks [12:48] outbackwifi: Yes same router. I even exchanged cables. I rtechecked the blinking lights and now the one labels "ACT" is also blinking [12:48] ben--: I had most faults from burning a (correct) iso, its checking now.. (a good cd) [12:48] ben--: the "check cd for defects" should say "Check finished: no errors found. Press any key to reboot your system" if everything was ok [12:48] ScheissDroge1: generic LCD Panel 1280x1024@60 sorta worked.. am i suppose to see fuzzy grey lines and nothing else no desktop in test???? other than cancle and ok ect [12:48] bob1:is ther a light at the back of the pc where the cable is connected? [12:48] _8472: not that I am aware of, try looking into openbox and see if that can do it as you can use that as a replacement for metacity in gnome [12:48] ok, CD is screwed, hope that is really the problem [12:48] jrib, thanks a lot, clean did the job for me :D [12:49] thanks for your time guys. [12:49] So, I'm being a complete cretin. I'm trying to get wireless working on my laptop (I've never bothered in the past). All the information out there these days basically says "Click on NetworkManager and it just works". Unfortunately a) I can't find NetworkManager *anywhere* in the interface and b) When I try to run it from the console it demands to be run as root, yet when I run it as root it returns instantly and doesn't do a blasted thing [12:49] sorry...I got kicked out apparently for pasting that big line. [12:49] What am I missng? [12:49] (I'm running hardy heron) [12:49] Did anyone see my question above? [12:49] outbackwifi: the blinking ones are on the PC. On the nic. [12:49] starn: the test worked bad for me to, but save the generated modlines (nice wor for you) from xorg.conf [12:49] too [12:49] jrib, ScheissDroge1, ActionParsnip1, thanks. [12:49] DRMacIver: what version of ubuntu? [12:50] Hi all, is there a way to completly remove package marked "deinstall" in the dpkg --get-selections command ? [12:50] bob1: on the pc that we're trying to fix right? [12:50] Haegin: Hardy Heron [12:50] ben--: yup, theres has to be an ok message [12:50] ben--: you can try the Alternate CD as well, it's just a text-based install [12:50] DRMacIver: ok, then can you see the network icon up near the clock? [12:50] Haegin: Yes. It seems to only list wired networks [12:50] Hello. I was grep-ing for a patter on a dir on my system -- I let the grep run as the files it was searching were really large (10+ GB in total). When I checked back later, I found that the resulting file that was generated from the grep was ~ 96MB. I browsed it and decided to delete it. But when I tried to rm it, I got an error saying that my file-system is a read-only system. [12:50] ben--: try another burning at a lower speed , used win for it or ubuntu ? [12:51] Though this wasn't the case before. I tried forcing the delete to no avail. I attempted a reboot and now I get a bunch of errors as follows: [81.276460] ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 (and a bunch of similar messages...) [12:51] outbackwifi: Yes on the borken PC there are blinking lights [12:51] The last group of errors shows this: [85.963913] journal_bmap: journal block not found at offset 10419 on sda1 .... [85.963969] JBD: bad block at offset 10419 ... [85.964034] EXT3-fs: error loading journal. Any idea what's going on? Why the sudden change on my fs to read-only? Is my hdd failing? What can I do now to fix this/back it up? I see a prompt like this now: (initramfs) [12:51] <_8472> Haegin: yes, have found this kind of advice somewhere in some discussion forum, to change window manager for something else, openbox, and one more was mentioned, but didn't remember the name. anyway, never've done that before, so i don't know how (no links necessary), or what can be messed in the system. [12:51] ScheissDroge1: Windows [12:51] Haegin: Ah. Is that the fabled NetworkManager I should be looking at? This isn't obvious from any of the UI info it provides. :) [12:51] DRMacIver: then it probably cannot see your wireless card so you will need drivers. what card do you have? [12:51] ScheissDroge1: don't have a linux distro installed right now. [12:51] ben--: using nero ? [12:52] bob1: what does sudo ethtool eth1 say? [12:52] ScheissDroge1: using an app called Iso Recorder. [12:52] Haegin: The proprietary hardware drivers menu suggests that "Support for Atheros 802.11 wirless LAN cards" is installed, enabled and in use [12:52] _8472: sudo aptitude install openbox, logout, at the login screen change session to Gnome + Openbox, login, live long and prosper [12:52] outbackwifi: No such device [12:52] DRMacIver: odd, right click on the nm-applet icon (the network icon you checked before) and make sure wireless is enabled [12:53] bob1: i think your network card is broken [12:53] outbackwifi: maybe I need a new nic? [12:53] bob1: yes [12:53] Haegin: The enable networking checkbox? It's ticked [12:53] ben--: never used it, does it let you set burning speed or verify written disk ? see alcohol120% as a free alternative (huhm, nero trial would be better > Nero HP first ) [12:54] outbackwifi: OK I will get another and try again. Maybe I will see you again tommorow. Thanks for your help [12:54] Anyone know how to use DeVeDe here? [12:54] <_8472> Haegin: hm, so easy? ok, may try when won't have nothing to do. anyway, do you have any experiences with openbox? i don't, so i would like to know what else will change? [12:54] bob1: yw, sorry we couldnt crack it todat [12:54] today [12:54] ScheissDroge1: I'll use another app and try again [12:54] Can anyone help me out with my problem, please? My question is pasted above in 3 separate lines, as I've tried to be thorough in detailing my problem. [12:54] outbackwifi: No problem I am glad you took the time. [12:54] ben--: saying no erros found press key to reboot (ubuntu-installer selfcheck) [12:54] _8472: i do, it just changes your window manager which only effect the borders around the windows. everything else should be fine [12:55] <_8472> Haegin: heheeee :)))) "live long and prosper" trekkie fellow :)))) nice :) [12:55] asdf1234: Sounds like your hdd is having problems, whether the entire disk is failing or if it is just a bad block is hard to say. I'd try booting the livecd and run fsck on it [12:55] I am having trouble loading files onto my iPod. using 8.04, hfsplus, gtkpod. It seems to be an error in permissions, where Ubuntu thinks it only has read... but that's not true. [12:55] meescu : did you try amaroK or similar software? [12:55] ScheissDroge1: umm i tried it and it crashed the system.. [12:56] geirha: does the live CD have to be the same ubuntu version (Edgy, Feisty, etc.) or does it not matter? Sorry, I'm kinda new to ubuntu. [12:56] starn:open a terminal.. [12:56] <_8472> Haegin: ok, i think i can live with such small changes [12:56] Is there anything I can do to poke the wireless card and check if it's actually working independently of whether it's picking up any networks? [12:56] starn:sudo apt-get install pastebinit [12:56] orgthingy, I have tried gtkpod and rhythmbox [12:56] starn:pastebinit /var/log/xorg.0.log [12:57] pastebinit, damn [12:57] meescu : try amaroK, if not, then be root and give it permission to write (never happened to me, though) [12:57] DrMaciver: are you comfortable with the commandline interface? [12:57] outbackwifi: Sure [12:57] I mean, I don't know any of the specific commands for dealing with wireless cards, but the console itself is certainly not an issue. :) [12:57] DrMaciver: ok can you tell me what wireless card you have [12:58] starn:url from terminal ? [12:58] <_8472> Haegin: i will try that someday when i'll have time. thx for this first possible advice. but anyway, boys in the gnome dev. should think about some switch to change this thing, default may be off if they like it this way. [12:59] _8472: i can't remember what features openbox has so check it first [12:59] ScheissDroge1: could my prob be due to my monitor being connected directly to my video card? [12:59] asdf1234: Most likely any supported ubuntu CD should work, but its preferable to use the same release or newer [12:59] DrMaciver: open up a terminal, type sudo iwlist scanning [12:59] _8472: also just google for metacity auto focus new windows and you will see all of them are complaints so it isn't a popular feature [12:59] outbackwifi: I don't really know unfortunately. It's a laptop builtin (asus f5v series. Google is not informative). Proprietary drivers says "Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards" and the laptop sticker says "802.11b/g" [12:59] geirha: Thanks so much! Let me try what you've suggested. [13:00] outbackwifi: lo and eth1 both reply "Interface doesn't support scanning" [13:00] DRMacIver: run lspci and pastebin the output [13:00] amarok is nuts! [13:00] ScheissDroge1: for i noticed there is nothing refering to that in linux but in windows it is labeled "XFX geforce 8600 gt Dell blah blah" [13:00] DrMaciver: ok its atheros and you need madwifi (the driver) [13:00] asdf1234: I don't think there are any radical changes done on ext3 between the different releases, but if there is, an older version might not be able to run fsck on it, it should alert you about this though, and will not harm your system (more than it is) [13:00] starn_:how else shall it be connected ? changed your nick (??_) [13:01] <_8472> Haegin: don't worry i will try it first on some virtual pc & ubuntu or xubuntu laptop, to see those changes [13:01] starn_:sudo apt-get install pastebinit [13:01] geirha: noted.

[13:01] which program for playing video audio has ability to fast forward ? [13:01] oh. madwifi.org [13:01] meescu : it did for my ipod, you messed up your iPod a bit :P [13:01] DrMaciver: what does lspci tell you? [13:01] Sorry, should have googled before asking. :) === robert__ is now known as rooooooooooo [13:02] starn_:url from terminal ?

[13:02] (By the way, it's DRMacIver, not DrMacIver. Initials, not qualification. :) ) [13:02] <_8472> Haegin: ok, might be it's not beloved option, but still, i've found lot of requests from people who would like it as i do. and also found articles about KDE and XFCE which have this option to enable or disable this [13:02] DRMacIver: 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) <- that is your wireless [13:02] ok. Thanks. [13:02] meescu : my iPod works on my ubuntu and linux mint as well :| [13:02] meescu : it seems that you messed up MAYBE BY MISTAKE! anyway, give it permissions to write :P (use sudo and gksudo) [13:02] orgthingy, thanks. I guess I'll stay with Mac until 8.10 [13:03] _8472: gnome uses the sensible defaults, simple configuration design plan [13:03] DrMaciver: ok you need to blacklist the proprietary driver and build the new one [13:03] meescu : this has nothing to do with kernel/ubuntu [13:03] ok. Will give that a go. Thanks [13:03] DrMaciver: ive got the sameon [13:03] DrMaciver: ive got the same one [13:03] DrMaciver: atb [13:03] ScheissDroge1: unable to read from: /var/log/xorg.0.log [13:04] starn_: Xorg.o.log [13:04] ok.

[13:05] rajec: that can as well I think but mplayer is seperate [13:05] !mplayer | rajec [13:05] rajec: mplayer is a media player. It resides in the mutiverse repository and can easily be installed via applications -> add/remove. For codecs try !codecs [13:06] !codecs [13:06] 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 [13:06] does anyone know about installing ubuntu on a maxtor hard disk? [13:06] <_8472> Haegin: hmm, could you explain this please "gnome uses the sensible defaults, simple configuration design plan"? i'm not sure if i fully understand to this: "simple configuration design plan" [13:06] i have some problems with that [13:06] ubuntu_: should be the same as any other drive [13:07] Anyone know how to use DeVeDe here? [13:07] but when i intalled it it doesnt start on its one [13:07] _8472: simple configuration means that to keep it simple they don't offer every possible option, just the popular ones [13:07] it says something about start again under noapic functions which is possible with the cd to choose but not when u start the pc on its hard disk [13:08] ubuntu_, have you checked your BIOS settings then? [13:08] how to use gtalk(google talk) ? [13:08] anyone use YPOPS to downloading email from yahoo severs? [13:08] starn_:so its a laptop with build in screen where you connected a external LCD ? [13:08] ubuntu_: you will need to give more information than that [13:08] neeraj, you using pidgin? [13:08] what do i need to check it on? [13:08] ubuntu_: maybe it wasn´t a clean install [13:08] yes [13:08] ScheissDroge1: no.. its a desktop where linux is on an external hd. [13:08] neeraj: it can be done in pidgin, just add a new account === [ID]-1813 is now known as georgeZL [13:08] no first i had windows xp [13:08] ok [13:08] but how ? [13:08] neeraj, all i did, was add new account, and choose the Gmail option, using my gmail details [13:09] anyone know how is the solution in cinelerra for (no debugging symbols found) [13:09] i installed the cd when i run it on the pc [13:09] ok, but how to do voice chat? [13:09] neeraj, Accounts > Manage > Add [13:09] and then i restarted the pc on its hard disk [13:09] I don't know about that neeraj [13:09] Yop! [13:09] neeraj: you can't yet as far as i know [13:09] anyone using 8.10 yet? Many differences? [13:09] ubuntu_, i would say anything about apic is bios, so check that. Also, check your boot options. [13:10] asho791: #ubuntu+1 [13:10] I am here asho791, few differences, more annoyances. [13:10] can gtalk will work on wine HQ? [13:10] ok [13:10] i need to change that under ubuntu? [13:10] Check it neeraj [13:10] the startoptions? [13:10] ScheissDroge1: i can not afford a laptop remotely as good as this machine is. its a DELL... with DELL monitor... and an added XFX video card. dell dimension e521 [13:10] Ok. I've installed madwifi and disabled the atheros drivers. I don't really see any difference though [13:10] No ubuntu_, in your BIOS [13:10] anyone know how is the solution in cinelerra for (no debugging symbols found) [13:10] ok [13:10] what does it need to say in my bios? [13:10] ok thanks [13:10] If you don't know what your doing ubuntu_, i wouldn't recommend you fiddle with your bios settings [13:11] is there no easy way to use QoS? [13:11] starn_:so what did you meant with the question of direct connected ? its a normal lcd on normal graphic, then ? [13:11] DrMaciver: did you run the iwlist thing again? [13:11] Yep [13:11] ok thanx [13:11] No change [13:11] DrMaciver: also dmesg| grep Atheros [13:11] outbackwifi: Nothing [13:11] ahh... other machine up again.. muharr [13:12] DrMaciver: sudo modprobe -v ath_pci [13:12] can I set the default interface for connections somehow? [13:12] ScheissDroge1: i thinks so.. LCD directly connected to my video cards input and not my motherboards intergrated video [13:12] Possibly I've done something wrong. Did I need to do more than disable atheros in the proprietary drivers screen and make all, sudo make install for madwifi? [13:12] DRMacIver: and you black listed ath5k and installed madwifi? [13:12] Um. If "blacklisted" means more than "uncheck enabled" then no, probably not. :) [13:12] stran_: so nothing special, again your : pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [13:13] outbackwifi: Lists a bunch of modules. Shall I pastebin? [13:13] ok [13:13] ScheissDroge1: if i change Device "Configured Video Device" to Device "nVidia Corporation G80 [GeForce 8600 GT]" would that help? [13:13] DRMacIver: ok, there are two atheros drivers. madwifi which is stable, works but is proprietary and ath5k which is new, fast, cool, open but doesn't work on all hardware [13:13] <_8472> Haegin: hm, this might be popular no? [13:14] ok. ScheissDroge1i shall [13:14] starn_: no thats not enough [13:14] Hm. sudo modprobe -v ath_pci doesn't output anything now. Weird [13:14] Is there a GTK based torrent client that is similar to KTorrent? or what GTK clients would you all recommend? [13:14] _8472: most people hate windows popping over the top. it is annoying as a small rabbit constantly gnawing on your kneecaps [13:14] interfear: transmission [13:15] ScheissDroge1: http://pastebin.com/f738b92b6 [13:15] can i ask a question about evolution? [13:15] oh thats the client built in already eh [13:15] <_8472> Haegin: ok, have to go. thx again for that openbox hint [13:15] havent tried it yet heh [13:15] interfear: i dont know what KTorrent is like, but i like deluge [13:15] interfear: try it, if not then try deluge but i ain't used it for a while [13:15] !ask|edaoman [13:15] edaoman: 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. :-) [13:15] hrm.. ok.. thanks for the advice [13:15] ScheissDroge1: was also going to ask if i should change Configured Monitor to Generic Monitor [13:16] outbackwifi: Here is what the modprobe outputted, but running it again seems to produce no output http://pastebin.com/f47c42201 [13:17] ok,***@smtp.126.com ,what should i fill the SMTP password? [13:17] DRMacIver: can you pastebin the output from lsmod please? [13:17] hi, it seems like my firefox under ubuntu cannot display java applets. how can i fix this? [13:17] starn_: hmm, xorg saying gforce8, that shouldn't work, again the exact model of your pcle-card ? [13:17] amt2: what architecture are you using? [13:17] amt2: doyou have java installed? [13:18] Haegin: http://pastebin.com/f1b9e4e02 [13:18] jrib, 64 bits... [13:18] biggerfisch, i think not [13:18] starn_: least monitor section looks perfect, now [13:18] ScheissDroge1: umm all i know is XFX Geforce 8600 gt [13:18] biggerfisch, how can i install java? [13:18] need help with my atheros wireless card if anyone is available, thanks [13:18] amt2: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras [13:18] amt2: you need to install java for java applets to run [13:18] amt2: sun does not make a 64bit java plugin. The bug on their tracker is several years old as well. So there isn't one for 64bit. Your only option is to use the open-source java or to install a 32bit firefox and plugins [13:18] starn_: thought of installing nvidias driver ? [13:19] amt2: go to www.java.com to install java [13:19] DrMaciver: This is the only driver that seems to work with the Atheros cards now (AR242X) [13:19] wget 'http://snapshots.madwifi.org/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-current.tar.gz' [13:19] ScheissDroge1: they do the exact same as what i am going through right now [13:19] biggerfisch: please recommend that people use the java from the repositories instead [13:19] !java > amt2 [13:19] amt2, please see my private message [13:19] outbackwifi: Will install and report back again. :) [13:19] jrib: ok [13:19] !flash64 > amt2 [13:19] DRMacIver: and now can you pastebin the output of ifconfig pls [13:19] yes i have installed the madwifi drivers [13:19] i just cant see my AP [13:20] http://pastebin.com/fe0b0369 [13:20] ta [13:20] i am poor in english , i can't spell some words ,so could i use chinese ?

[13:50] uffo: ext3 has been far more tested on linux so unless you have a pressing need for ntfs (e.g. windows) then use ext3 [13:50] airtonix: it is on same hdd where ubuntu is installed, ubuntu is 7gb+swap 1gb and 112gb ntfs for files [13:50] uffo, yeah im guessing you put ntfs there by habit? or is it required for access when you reboot into windows? [13:50] yes by habit [13:51] ActionParsnip1: /etc/resolv.conf is : [13:51] search private [13:51] nameserver 202.97.224.69 [13:51] uffo, ok you can remove it and reformat it to ext3. if you know you wont need to access that drive/partition when you bott that machione into windows(which it sounds like you dont have setup as dual boot) [13:51] uffo, of cource back up your files first. [13:51] what is the command to end xserv so i can run a setup also how would i go about going to level 3? [13:51] how can i enter in the italian's help channell? [13:51] any output you'd like to see [13:52] greetings. I just upgraded to Ubuntu 8.0.4. I'm a linux newbie. I decided I would reinstall request tracker. Now, when I run the install, it can't find File:ShareDir (a core dependency when running make upgrade) I know this is an RT install, but I think this is a larger issue than RT - although, I could be COMPLETELY wrong. thanks. [13:52] Hi all, is there a way to completly remove package marked "deinstall" in the dpkg --get-selections command ? [13:52] edaoman: id add a line for your routers internal ip too [13:53] how can i find a list of all channell? [13:53] if i reformat can utorrent or other windows programs with wine works still fine? [13:53] dpkg-reconfigure java says java is not installed, but it is (apt-get install sun-java5-jdk) java --version tells mir 1.42, so how can i use java 5 for default? [13:53] uffo, infact i personally dont trust these crossbreeding drivers that step across halfarsed legal terrirtory..ntfs-g has narfed some of my files before so i see no point in dedicating a drive on my machine to a system that doesnt run on it. [13:53] DIFH-iceroot: why do you want to run that command?

I have shared a folder in Ubuntu (by right clicking the folder name in Nautilus). I now want to remove that Samba share, but I don't know where the folder was on the file system.

[13:56] i have mounted it in media folder in ubuntu [13:56] #list [13:56] it is just for files [13:56] I have just installed ubuntu on my laptop.... I have also installed java and the flash extension for firefox...but could not get it to work..any help please [13:56] ?

[14:00] jrib: thank you, that was working, now java -version tells me 1.5 :-) [14:01] airtonix: wait do you tell that when i use utorrent in ubuntu then it cannot write data anymore for example [14:01] hey can any one tell me, what other terminal client i can use apart from mutt === Bhaal_ is now known as Bhaal [14:02] uffo, through wine? no you wont need ntfs. your base system underneath the wine translation layer is still unix, not windows [14:02] Is there a way to purge dpkg databse ? [14:02] I want to remove all package marked as "deinstall" [14:02] ruchir, you mean "what other email client can i run from the terminal" [14:02] airtonix: oh thanks, i asked because i use windows games and software in ubuntu alot [14:02] yes [14:03] uffo, so do i [14:03] which are as easy to configure as mutt is but with better interface [14:04] Hello [14:04] uffo, i actually prefer to use transmission instead of utorrent [14:04] !list [14:04] Hi!

Do you advice not to install the current Intrepid A-5 but 8.04 atm and then update? (In my opinion it's rather better to use an alpha for 2 months and then increment a few things than using 8.04 for two months and the update the whole system) [14:41] no helper today?

[15:02] trakinas: then you path has /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin (which is right) so uninstall the 2.4 from /usr/local/bin (probably installed from source) [15:02] I'll try and have a look. Something like a no line break at end of file /etc/X11/xinit.d/xinput/default (IIRC) [15:02] erUSUL: no idea! oO [15:02] adidust u need the cd [15:02] ActionParsnip1, I'll try and have a look. Something like a no line break at end of file /etc/X11/xinit.d/xinput/default (IIRC) [15:02] erUSUL: someone was using this computer before me [15:02] wubi is only the installer [15:02] trakinas: what happens is that /usr/local/ is earlier on the PATH variable and you use the one installed there [15:03] steph_ I'm assuming that wubi just copies all the files to /boot and then goes from there? [15:03] i do not know what user i talked before but i managed to set ext3 disk from read only mode to full writable with root mode nautilus [15:03] trakinas: oops Haegin already was enlightning you ... [15:03] i think so [15:03] can someone help me with a hardware problem? (cdrom related) [15:03] steph_ so install the installer and the put the cd and reboot my computer and install ubuntu 8.04 from the cd? [15:03] ActionParsnip1, before that it asked me if I wanted to put [other-account].desktop as my default, and that something in the vein of Xsession-script wasn't installed properly or something [15:03] ActionParsnip1: nice gtk theme [15:03] its installed i booted and then in configured everything [15:04] @.@ [15:04] Kiffer_: what ide controller do you have the cdrom connected too ?? show up in dmesg ? [15:04] u put cd in , run the installer and move cd out and reboot [15:04] Haegin: You mean me? [15:04] after that the pc installs everything [15:04] Is it normal that "df -h" shows only 436G available of a 459G (500G disk) disk even though only 129M is used?

[15:05] slashjamiec, just thought where does that 20G disappear? Does ext3 take that? [15:05] ActionParsnip1, could it be due to me using useradd incorrectly? useradd -m -g users -p [password] [userlogin] - it obviously didn't work correctly either [15:05] Webu: It's a bit of everywhere. Ext3, files, etc [15:05] slashjamiec: have you seen gtk-theme-switch? it sets your gtk and gtk2 theme without needing to load the gnome libs etc which is great for fluxbox. you just install and run switch2 to set it up [15:06] slashjamiec, hmm okey, thanks :-) [15:06] !raid | neilio [15:06] neilio: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [15:06] Haegin: That's fine, I can just switch it all myself.
