[00:00] spunk, really depends on the application [00:00] kR5_Chris: maybe the drive is faulty [00:00] danbh_family: doh! yes, you are right. I'll check it out. thanks! [00:00] nickrud: ok, thanks [00:00] ActionParsnip: Here's my Xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/46439/ [00:01] * airtonix is away: [00:01] spunk, danbh_family had a much better answer, but thanks anyway ;) [00:01] ActionParsnip: I try to boot two different hard disks one with Linux Ubuntu 7.10 and one with Windows Xp and there was the same problem with both [00:02] Gaming4JC: try booting grub with esc button and choose fix xorg.conf [00:02] kR5_Chris: id take everything out again man, you may have a screw stuck. ive had that before [00:02] ive got it [00:03] do i need all these kernel images for previous versions? [00:03] ActionParsnip: You mean recovery mode? [00:03] ActionParsnip: Anything else? [00:03] opt1k, I can't find advanced desktop effects [00:03] xim: no.. you can use synaptic to uninstall the ones you no longer need. [00:03] ActionParsnip: I dont think that it will help [00:03] sweet [00:03] Razer: hmm.. do you have compiz installed ? [00:03] Gaming4JC: yes but you should get an option to fix xorg.comf [00:04] opt1k, I tihkn so [00:04] ActionParsnip: I just tried the fix xserver option. No luck screen says "Input Signal Out of Range" again :( [00:04] kR5_Chris: thats all i can suggest, try a different power cable from the psu, or a new hdd cable [00:04] Gaming4JC: if you rename xorg.conf so you have no xorg.conf does it boot? [00:04] and I know the monitor is good, it loads KDE distro, and Windowz [00:05] !resolution | Gaming4JC [00:05] Gaming4JC: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [00:05] [00:05] ActionParsnip: Thanks a lot. I hope that it will help to solve the problem!!!! [00:05] nickrud: yeah, saw his answer, but I'm still grateful for all answers. :-) cheers. [00:05] kR5_Chris: me too :) [00:05] thanks Scunizi [00:05] Gaming4JC: np [00:06] Razer: check if you have it by typing into terminal: compiz [00:06] * ActionParsnip hates compiz [00:06] ompaul, nice one champ, just abit facist? [00:06] compiz compiz-decorator compiz.real [00:06] opt1k, i just get that [00:06] !compiz | razer [00:06] razer: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [00:06] airtonix, you can go to #ubuntu-ops for that [00:07] ompaul, i set myself as away once, and you go over board... [00:07] I think it's : I have compiz, but I want compiz fusion [00:07] Razer: yeah u have it then [00:07] i disabled wireless... how do i get it back? [00:07] Razer: same deal [00:07] wlan0 doesn't come up on ifconfig anymore [00:07] start it from terminal then if you don't have it under the Preferences menu [00:07] how do I get the cube then? [00:08] airtonix, go to #ubuntu-ops to discuss this - it is offtopic for here [00:08] Razer: do you have 3d support? [00:08] Razer: you have to tick the cube box in the compiz control panel [00:08] Razer: have you installed your grphics card? [00:08] ActionParsnip, how do I check for that? [00:08] so, uh, my bluetooth mouse no longer works with my ubuntu laptop. Works fine with another laptop so it's not the mouse, it's ubuntu. What kinda troubleshooting do i need to do? [00:08] Razer: glxinfo | grep dirext [00:08] i have an iso image on a ntfs drive hosted by ubuntu. I'm trying to burn the iso from across the network, could the ntfs partition be whats causing me problems? [00:09] kudar_: sudo ifconfig wlan up [00:10] ActionParsnip: wlan: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device [00:10] smm289: If anything is causing the problem, I'd say it is BECAUSE you are going across the network. Copy the ISO to a local location, if you can. [00:10] smm289: as long as you can read the data then you should be ok === eddie is now known as Guest59270 [00:10] ActionParsnip, not working [00:10] poep [00:10] Razer what graphics card do you have? nvidia or ati? [00:10] Razer: run glxinfo and see if you have direct renering [00:10] opt1k, an nvidia 8400 GS, but I also have integrated [00:11] !nvidia | Razer [00:11] Razer: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:11] Razer: or [00:11] Does no one know bluetooth mouse stuff? The mouse works, my bluetooth works, they just refuse to work together. I've removed the pairing, rebooted, readded, it connects ok but it doesn't work [00:11] !envyng | Razer [00:11] i keep getting errors "unhandled error" aborting and stuff like that. I've tried different burning utilities but I get the same kinda error, just different wording [00:11] Razer: 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 [00:11] Razer: without nvidia drivers you dont have 3d support [00:11] I just installed ubuntu on a cf card via qemu and a cf-pcmcia adaptor for a small system that does not have a cdrom drive on it. I get a "GRUB Loading stage1.5Read Error" when i put the cf card into the system and try to boot. It boots normally in qemu. My theory is that the bios isn't putting the cf card as hd0,0 is there anyway to see what it is setting it as (i can't get into the bios) [00:11] ActionParsnip: does EnvyNG work without problems for you? [00:11] maybe the disc i'm trying is bad. How many times do ya think you can burn and erease a DVD/RW before its going to have issues [00:12] opt1k: absolutely [00:12] ActionParsnip, when I installed ubuntu it said it installed restrictive drivers [00:12] ok I tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (did it before too but not luck) now how do I restart the xserver to test the new configuration. (startx didn't work) [00:12] smm289: that depends on the disk. I think they usually tell you on the packaging [00:12] ActionParsnip, direct rendering right? [00:12] what kind of disk is it planetarium red or orange [00:12] Gaming4JC: id just reboot [00:12] Razer: yes [00:12] ActionParsnip: I've tried it once and it didn't install sh*t [00:12] from terminal? [00:13] it says :yes [00:13] Gaming4JC: CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE [00:13] Gaming4JC: if you are running x right now, you can always use ctrl+alt+backspace [00:13] opt1k: did you run it with gksu envyng-gtk [00:13] ok ... [00:13] ActionParsnip: yeah... didn't work, so i've turned back to manual install [00:13] didn't work (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace [00:13] sudo shutdown -r now? [00:13] what is intrepid [00:13] why not?

[00:38] the link you sent me didnt work and im on Xbuntu and im new to linux how do i get to /etc/xll [00:38] maybe xubuntu, chris__ [00:38] dpz, let xmms go, its dead [00:38] orgthingy: lol ok think i might keep the both maybe one will kick the other in the butt to start working [00:38] danbh_family: So its just wine? [00:38] Gaming4JC: ok.. now add to the clean xorg just the monitor section from the old one that defines the refresh rates.. did you install from the alternate or desktop cd? [00:39] chris__: no [00:39] Gaming4JC: or was it an upgrade. [00:39] chris062689_, definetely just get xubuntu [00:39] Omeil: yes [00:39] darren_ : trust me this time, the way i told u to fix it is only way i know (other than sudo killall nm-applet) [00:39] :P [00:39] !patience [00:39] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [00:39] nm-applet is best applet ever ! [00:39] would that mean that ubuntu needs more ram than XP? [00:40] orgthingy: yer it ok i have done it befor when there was a problem [00:40] Scunizi: I installed from a non-live cd called Ubuntu studio, since the official LiveCD wouldn't boot (Input Signal out of range as well) [00:40] danbh_family: Sorry for the stupid question :) i've been going around choosing a distro all have failed me except ubuntu on installing my ATI Card [00:40] but, I'll add that section if I can [00:40] chris__, it depends what you want to do with ubuntu really [00:40] lot's of typing in da nano [00:40] darren_ : are you going to be here regularly ? [00:40] danbh_family: Guess il have to wait till they fix the bugs with wine and ATI [00:40] * orgthingy pokes darren_ to download firestarter firewall [00:40] Gaming4JC: do you have two monitors hooked up to your vid card (nvidia 6100 right?) ?? [00:41] Omeil: you don't have to regard that as a stupid question. Im just informing you [00:41] unop: hmm. surf, chat, connect to remote desktop [00:41] orgthingy: every other day normally [00:41] ok, i'm a bit tired so i'm going offline [00:41] good night to everyone [00:41] okay, how do i create a new folder in 8.04? [00:41] Scunizi: Not to monitors, but I do have a KVM switch running on it. (this means XP and Linux are running on the same monitor over a hotkey right now) [00:41] *two [00:41] darren_ : great [00:41] on the gui it has those options grayed out [00:41] danbh_family: Oh ok, thanks for the help danbh [00:41] np [00:41] what's a good way to back-up an entire installation? [00:42] Scunizi and yes geforce nividia 6100 :) [00:42] !partimage | skylar [00:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about partimage [00:42] !info partimage | skylar [00:42] skylar: partimage (source: partimage): backup partitions into a compressed image file. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.7-1 (hardy), package size 271 kB, installed size 960 kB [00:42] chris__, hmm, surfing can be a fairly heavy thing but generally ubuntu needs about 256MB+ for those tasks [00:42] Gaming4JC: that might be part of the issue.. just trying to eliminate possibilities. Have you tried hooking the monitor directly to the ubuntu machine without the kvm switch? [00:42] can someone get the !backup factoid for skylar!!?! [00:42] tyvvm erUSUL [00:42] hey [00:42] scunizi the link you sent me didnt work and im on Xbuntu and im new to linux how do i get to /etc/xll [00:43] Scunizi: I had thought of that, I tried it some time ago. Same error :-/ [00:43] Gaming4JC: then you can sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg and see if that helps. [00:43] hmm [00:43] Scunizi: I never thought of pluging it in then reconfiguring [00:43] perhaps that might work :) [00:43] brb I'll try it. [00:43] get to where? [00:43] Guest49854: things in linux are case sensitive ... it's /etc/X11/xorg.conf not /etc/x11/xorg.conf.. [00:44] do i type that in terminal? [00:44] Hey there, anyone know where I can find chat help on Fortran? :) [00:44] I can't install libusb: INSTALL.libusb: 56: Syntax error: word unexpected [00:44] unop: thats a shame. thanks for the info:) [00:45] Guest49854: to edit the file first back it up (all in terminal).. 1st = sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup ... then gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf .. that second one will give you the ability to edit the file adding the bits about wacom.. [00:45] leeping2008, is that a trick question? #fortran exists [00:45] whats the command to copy and paste dirs? [00:45] ohhhh i c [00:45] ok thx [00:45] unop, there's like no one in there :P [00:46] i understand now [00:46] guys [00:46] for a PC like this what version of Ubuntu would you recommend [00:46] gals & hermits [00:46] Help?

[00:46] Ubuntu 8.04 desktop won't let me create a new folder so that I can install twonkymedia there, i've tried typing su in terminal to switch to super user, but it won't authenticate my password [00:46] GRUB is giving me Errors 17 and 22 even though ive partitioned, formatted and installed hardy several times on a ubuntu dedicated disk anyone got any tips? [00:46] firefox is hiding my mouse whenever i'm loading something! === favafro is now known as favro [00:46] !sudo | nkei0 [00:46] nkei0: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [00:46] what are the LPIA compiler flags? [00:47] erUSUL, do you know if it will work if the hardware is different? [00:47] petersaints: ubuntu desktop 32 bit.... until you get use to the system then if you feel brave you can play with the 64 bit version. [00:47] chris__, well, i've got an old PC with 192MB RAM/AMD 1700+ here running fluxbox doing pretty much the same [00:47] whats the command to copy and paste dirs? [00:47] woli, do you have a customized pointer? [00:47] does ubuntu-server need a screen and/or inputs? [00:47] zelrikriando, no [00:47] I am looking for some help with webmin installed on an Ubuntu 8.04 system. I am trying to "sudo aptitude install lvm2" with automated "y" responses for user input [00:47] skylar: i think it will yes [00:47] Uplink, maybe cp -r [00:47] cursor I would say [00:47] i'm in firefox 3.0.1 [00:47] soundray are you here? [00:47] ty skylar [00:47] woli, try installing one to see if it fixes the problem :) [00:48] petersaints: when installing you should make a separate partition for /home.. so root "/" should have 8-12 gigs... swap (/swap) should have 1 gig and home (/home) the remaining portion of the HD.. [00:48] Uplink you can check out $man cp too [00:48] ciao a tutti === foka_ is now known as foka [00:48] Scunizi: Just got done testing. No luck same thing on the monitor even without the KVM :( [00:48] zelrikriando, no it does not change... [00:48] petersaints: that will save you hours of frustration if you ever have to reinstall fresh but don't want your data to be lost. === patrick is now known as Guest54680 [00:48] *sighs [00:49] well... it appears that it is not only firefox... [00:49] do I need grub on a system with only ubuntu on? [00:49] Gaming4JC: arrgggg.... do you have a different monitor to try? [00:49] it is ubuntu... [00:49] kira-fanboy, yes [00:49] woli, you could ask on a mozilla channel [00:49] hides mouse while loading things... [00:49] !BOOT [00:49] Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [00:49] Scunizi: Not on hand, I might have one in storage some place. [00:49] :( ... [00:49] kira-fanboy, grub is the bootloader - without a bootloader, you won't be able to boot ubuntu [00:50] woli, are you using compiz? [00:50] Scunizi This is not my first time with Ubuntu :P But well 64-bit has a few problems with Java (with nspluginwrapper it seems that Flash problems are mostly over) and also I might need to run proprietary software that has no 64-bit binaries and the default 32-bit environment is sometimes not enough for them (you need more libraries, but I know it's possible to get them)!! [00:50] zelrikriando, yes [00:50] Scunizi: I still don't understand why it worked and then stopped working. I tested my old CDs too, now they quit working. It's almost like the computer has chosen to despise linux :o [00:50] Gaming4JC: the only thing I can think of is that the monitor isn't reporting the correct refresh rates to the system or maybe even the resolution.. if it's dvi and not vga that might be a possibility. [00:50] woli, try to desactivate it [00:50] unop, yeah i guessed that, just that its giving me shit even thoug ive installed ubuntu 5+ times already [00:50] woli, to see if that changes anything [00:51] Gaming4JC, it stopped working because you installed a microsoft product to your box [00:51] lol [00:51] kira-fanboy, relax on the language .. what seems to be the problem? [00:51] but you did didn't you [00:51] yes I did [00:51] ;) [00:51] I went Ubuntu, WinXP, and trying to go back to Ubuntu. [00:51] :P [00:51] petersaints: sorry about the basic post/instructions.. didn't know your level of expertise.. Ubuntu is gnome, kubutu is of course kde and xubuntu is xfce [00:51] how do I make compiz show the sky like their FAQ [00:52] !compiz-fusion [00:52] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [00:52] well my theory is correct then Gaming4JC ! [00:52] lol [00:52] it seems that presently... the only real (by real I mean in an average and common use) advantage for 64-bit is the ability to address 4GB+ RAM. If you don't have 4GB+ RAM in most situations you should just keep the 32-bit version!! Is this assumption correct? [00:52] xD [00:52] :) [00:52] razer you need to set a background image in the compiz settings [00:52] hmm I can always run KDE I guess... [00:52] but Kubuntu stopped working too >_< [00:52] Gaming4JC: weird.. have you reseated your vid card lately? maybe a dust issue. boy.. I"m reaching here.. [00:52] unop, sorry, well Ive tried manual formatting as to create a /home and last try i went with the guided partitioning using the whole disk and i still get errors where grub doesnt find the partition. [00:52] I'm downloading 32bit Ubuntu petersaints, because im concerned about compatibility issues and driver support that may arise with 64bit [00:52] for some reason i had to get xscreensaver for screensavers to work -.- but it worked [00:52] only Mandrivia and Sabayon work now [00:53] zelrikriando, ah... just realized it is only firefox... [00:53] software compatibility, 64bit drivers etc [00:53] Scunizi: I never thought of a dust issue but at this point perhaps it's possible. [00:53] xander86, which settings specifically? [00:53] woli, then try #firefox@irc.mozilla.org [00:53] Scunizi: but why then does it show splash screens and KDE distro? [00:53] lol [00:53] kira-fanboy, what does grub complain about? [00:53] ok [00:53] thanks [00:53] Gaming4JC: it's a conspiracy [00:53] :) [00:53] system ->prefs->advance desktop settings [00:53] Hey everyone I have been trying to install linux on my system (1 gig ram 3.06ghz intel pentium 4) and when I use the default install disk it stalls when it goes to the ubuntu 'fill the whole bar screen' near the start. And the alternet CD installs it but with ALOT of errors. I can never get it to even finish updateing before it freezes and then im lucky to get it back again. [00:53] lol [00:53] unop, Error 17 atm [00:54] Scunizi: That's what I say, lol. [00:54] xander86, then what? [00:54] error messages darkcard >? [00:54] under 3d cube [00:54] One second ill get them... [00:54] M$ con$piracy [00:54] long live compiz [00:54] lol [00:54] whateevr you told me to type did now work [00:54] there is an apperance tab [00:54] ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) [00:54] stylist[obsd] well... unless you have some odd hardware, driver support doesn't seem a problem! But yeah... 32-bit is more trouble free! [00:54] you want to add a image file to the skydome [00:54] xander86, 3d cube is not an option [00:55] unop, Ive tried the grub walktroug on ubuntu.com, but it seems to correspond more to a dual booting system [00:55] er [00:55] desktop cube [00:55] kira-fanboy, what is your problem? [00:55] I am looking for some help with webmin installed on an Ubuntu 8.04 system. I am trying to "sudo aptitude install lvm2" with automated "y" responses for user input [00:55] and also I tested a LiveCD session and I get 40% more memory usage on 64-bit vs 32-bit [00:55] First one I got is: init: rc-defualt main process 4904 killed by SEGV Signal. After that I get similar ones only different processes (4477 4623 4605) and now it likes to take me to the login screen sometimes and just sit there after i put in my password. [00:55] kira-fanboy, so what filesystem did you choose for / ? [00:55] Gaming4JC: the other thing you can reference on google is xrandr which is what drives the video sys now. [00:56] danopia, Error 17 from grub [00:56] help me ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) [00:56] , im installing mysql and when i run mysql -u root give this [00:56] for example Firefox uses 30MB of RAM on 64-bit and 22MB on 32-bit (just opening it on Live CD) [00:56] unop, ext3 ... [00:56] kira-fanboy, what kind of set up do you have/how many drives [00:56] Could someone help me to install libusb? [00:56] kira-fanboy, i have two drives and when i installed xubuntu to my second (sdb) it isntalled grub to the primary drive too which booted first (and failed) [00:57] danopia, I have 2 SATA disks, ubuntu goes to sdb so i might be having the same problem as you [00:57] Scunizi: *googles xrandr* :P [00:57] ubuntu shits my head, hehehehe [00:57] Hello all at #ubuntu. I need help connecting my ubuntu machine to our wireless network. [00:57] what bootloader does a wubi install use? [00:58] orgthingy:hi you still in here [00:58] christ, the gui in ubuntu is almost freaking useless, i can't even make a folder without using command line [00:58] Heyas [00:58] darren_ : yup [00:58] Stylist, did you get my error message? [00:58] nkei0: erm, what?! [00:58] because i DONT want anybody go to grub (then shell) and change root password then log-in my PC (i mean, thats lame) [00:58] kira-fanboy, error 17 indicates that the partition exists but the filesystem is not recognised - are you sure you have grub configured to boot from the right partition? (if you chose to configure grub differently) [00:58] kenbw2 you need sudo [00:58] ubuntu needs graphical sudo [00:58] gksudo [00:58] KenBW22, wubi uses the windows bootloader [00:58] nkei0: right mouse click.. create new folder.. must be in icon view .. [00:59] is the graphical sudo [00:59] Scunizi, no it doesn't work [00:59] org ok small problem i added a new bar and when i open a program it does not show up in the the to bar any more like network manager or when i open frostwire [00:59] unop: so how would i edit said bootloader? [00:59] nkei0: no, you can do everything your user has permission to do. So you can make folders in your HOME. You really shouldn't be doing much outside of your HOME. Can you give more details as to what you are trying to do? [00:59] Finiras, duh gksudo, kdesudo [00:59] orgthingy: ok small problem i added a new bar and when i open a program it does not show up in the the to bar any more like network manager or when i open frostwire [00:59] KenBW22, edit %SYSTEMROOT%\boot.ini (on windows) [00:59] nkei0: youre probably in a System folder [00:59] unop: thanks [00:59] darren_ : thats not a problem, i know how to solve it [01:00] orgthingy: ok thank god [01:00] First one I got is: init: rc-defualt main process 4904 killed by SEGV Signal. After that I get similar ones only different processes (4477 4623 4605) and now it likes to take me to the login screen sometimes and just sit there after i put in my password. [01:00] darren_ : right-click on that panel, then "add to panel" and search "notification" [01:00] add that [01:00] and youll get this feature back [01:00] Okay here is the deal. I'm trying to install twonkymedai in it's own folder, the install readme suggests local/usr/twonkymedia and it won't let me create the folder there in the gui, and once i do i can't paste anything there to extract the .zip there or anything [01:00] if i want to edit an existin GTK theme on my ubuntu system, where is the theme located? [01:00] gksudo only lets me run applications from the gui, it won't actually let me do anything other than that [01:00] unop, well Ive tried a bunch of root (hdx,x) commands at the menu, atm I dont really know how the partitions are organized since I went with one of the automatic choices, before that I formatted it : swap - / - /home [01:01] orgthingy: what an idiot skiped right passed it thanks again [01:01] darren_ : np ;) [01:01] Hey everyone I have been trying to install linux on my system (1 gig ram 3.06ghz intel pentium 4) and when I use the default install disk it stalls when it goes to the ubuntu 'fill the whole bar screen' near the start. And the alternet CD installs it but with ALOT of errors. I can never get it to even finish updateing before it freezes and then im lucky to get it back again. [01:01] nkei0: you can run 'gksudo nautilus'. You should make sure you don't modify any system files though. Sticking to /opt and /usr/local/ is usually safe [01:02] nkei0, what else do you need? [01:02] shrug, i dunno [01:02] nkei0, except running apps as sudo from gui [01:02] Errors I get are init: rc-default main process 4904 killed by SEGV signal. Sometimes the process changes to 4612 4477 4904 ect ect. now it likes to take me to the login screen and sit after i put in my password [01:02] I could use a lot of help, today is my first day on linux. [01:03] hey guys do any of u know of a howto on how to make the desktop version of ubuntu into a server? [01:03] darkcard, You have to start in recovery mode, then make a backup of your menu.lst, then edit the original to say noacpi at the end of the bootline [01:03] darkcard, at least that is the problem that i had [01:03] How would i backup my menu.lst? [01:03] xander86, I selected a background image but it's not showing [01:03] kira-fanboy, well, you have to get the right partition there root hd(1,1) in your case - i suggest you boot the live CD and repair grub - this can help - http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Installing-GRUB-using-grub_002dinstall [01:03] !grub | kira-fanboy, [01:03] kira-fanboy,: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[01:05] Finiras, its built in [01:05] darkcard, you have to use sudo nano and then the filename [01:05] LinMatt: the other question is .. what kind of server? web, email, ftp ?? All those can be installed from Synaptic [01:05] Finiras, its part of gnome itself [01:05] web [01:05] LinMatt: what exactly are you trying to do that you want to turn your desktop into a server?

See the tutorial at art.gnome.org [01:07] synaptic package manager...

[01:08] Vyacheslav : go to youtube, then firefox will give you a think [01:08] Finiras, sudo doesnt always work for graphical programs, gksudo is more appropriate [01:08] Vyacheslav : anyway, firefox will help you through this, just go to youtube [01:09] orgthingy: ok no probs [01:09] Vyacheslav just go into aAdd/Remove programs (not sympantic) and search extras and click on ubuntu restricted extras NOTE: you will also gen acvisupport and things like that [01:09] Flare183: np.. :) [01:09] <3 firefox [01:09] orgthingy: Nothing happens on youtueb. No "additonal plugin" bar [01:09] firefox has an easy way to install flash on ubuntu and with no problems [01:09] how do i see my printer ink levels? [01:10] btw... does Netbeans and Eclipse work well under Ubuntu 64-bit? I ask this because of the Java issues that are know under this architecture?? [01:10] Cyacheslav : did u restart firefox after u installed flash anyway? [01:10] orthingy see my last post [01:10] .net [01:10] LinMatt : oh... umm [01:10] yea [01:10] my bad i ment Vyacheslav === ccheney is now known as calc [01:10] how would you creatively name a password manager? [01:11] woli: we like to keep this channel dedicated to ubuntu support only since it is so busy. Mind moving your discussion over to #ubuntu-offtopic? [01:11] does anyone here use Bazaar? [01:11] woli: pmgr? dontlookhere? bilbo? [01:11] Bazaar? [01:11] meoblast001: best to just ask the channel your question [01:11] whats that? [01:12] whats the way to commit changes to a Launchpad project via bazaar where it brings up nano with your changelog thing? [01:13] meoblast001: there's a #bzr you might want to try for specific questions like taht [01:13] ok [01:13] i was in the wrong channel [01:13] I am pretty new to linux, I am a long time computer geek (Like programmer, building computers, not just a gamer) and I am very surprised how hard it is to deal with permissions on in ubuntu. I just setup LAMP and vsftpd but getting the permissions right is just killing me. Is there a way to just turn off security so I can do anything as root and vsftpd can run as root? This is a private server on my home network for PHP script testing? [01:14] @ DrFrow if you using console try sudo su [01:14] You'll enter root mode per say [01:14] xD [01:14] DrFrow : please wait, im reading your paragraph [01:14] DrFrow, If you are going to be using Linux, you need to get used to Linux permissions. [01:14] petersaints: sudo -i is preferred to 'sudo su' === snegtul is now known as id10tben [01:14] ok jrib didn't know that [01:15] petersaints: it resets your environment [01:15] I know I should get use to them, maybe that is what I need to do. Is there a good paper that explains how permissions work? I would rather understand then just hack [01:15] DrFrow : use sudo.. other than that, then type "sudo -i" not "sudo su" :P [01:15] !permissions > DrFrow [01:15] DrFrow, please see my private message [01:15] DrFrow : but please, keep root password disabled! [01:15] Darn battery died. [01:15] What was that bit about add/remove? [01:15] DrFrow : we use sudo -i if we have lots of root work... but we got used to type "sudo" and "gksudo" (for GUI) anyway [01:16] Ubottu got me a good link to explain permissions. I will read that now [01:16] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:16] Thanks to all for answering me. [01:16] oh search extras and then click on ubuntu resticted extras and down load it [01:16] haha [01:16] DrFrow, Good luck. Have Fun. [01:17] i have a graphics problem [01:17] oh yeah it also installs jaVA and mp3 and a fer other stuff [01:17] DrFrow : welcome to linux community, where we have 1288+ users in one single linux channel (and we have forums) :P ! [01:17] I have a 1024x800 but Ubuntu is displaying in 800x600 [01:17] orgthingy: What do I do in add/remove for flash? [01:18] unop, danopia, do you reckon it would help to create a /boot partition on the disk that will have / on it? [01:18] weatherkid: what kind of vid card do you have? [01:18] last you just got helped by a 8 year old!!:-D [01:18] Vyacheslav : second [01:18] Does uninstalling a Wubi install leave *anything* behind? [01:18] Vyacheslav: search extras and then click on ubuntu resticted extras and down load it [01:19] LinMatt: Where is extras? [01:19] see my post Vyacheslav [01:19] Vyacheslav just go into aAdd/Remove programs (not sympantic) and search extras and click on ubuntu restricted extras NOTE: you will also gen acvisupport and things [01:19] Motherboard card-My computer is a Compaq Deskpro [01:19] Ah, I think I gots it. [01:19]  Vyacheslav: belive it or notim 8 and i installed linux MYSELF [01:19] orgthingy: I removed Macromedia Flash plugin and now I;m reinstalling it [01:19] Sweet. [01:20] did it work? [01:20] LinMatt: one second.. [01:20] WHY DOES IT KEEP SAYING PERMISSSION DENIED WHEN I TYPE IN THE TERMINAL? [01:20] and restart firefox! [01:20] Damn [01:20] weatherkid: up by the clock in the upper right corner is there an icon saying you can install a restricted driver? [01:20] Vyacheslav : you may have problems with flash.. will be solved next month in 8.10 (but i can tell u how to fix it) [01:20] Nope. [01:20] Guest49854: first, fix your caps lock. Then pastebin the command you are running and the output in full [01:21] is there any program for ubuntu that utilizes 4 cores unrar unzip etc? [01:21] 7z only utilizes 2 [01:21] hi all, wazzup :) [01:21] Guest30496: you pobably need to put "sudo" before your command [01:21] ok sorry [01:21] nope [01:21] Qster : well... [01:21] yo ari [01:21] Qster : Ark probably ? [01:21] uninstall the flash plugin and do mwhat i say in my next post [01:21] thats kde right? [01:21] /dev/ttys0 port 0x0220 irq 4 autoconfigure , im trying to get my pen wacom to work [01:22] ok [01:22] Vyacheslav just go into aAdd/Remove programs (not sympantic) and search extras and click on ubuntu restricted extras NOTE: you will also gen avi support and things like java too [01:22] weatherkid: how bout going to System/Admin/Hardware drivers and see if anything is listed there. [01:23] hey Jrib this is the command [01:23] /dev/ttys0 port 0x0220 irq 4 autoconfigure im trying to run [01:23] ...sympantic :D [01:23] Guest49854: pastebin the command you are running and the output in full [01:23] wait because it installs java truetype fonts avi support and other stuff [01:23] I still have one doubt about 64-bit Linux... About how much more memory does it use? I mean is 10%, 20%... Is there any comparison on that? [01:23] !pastebin > Guest49854 [01:23] Guest49854, please see my private message [01:24] petersaints unless you have more than 3 gigs of ram then i dont see a point [01:24] !permissions > Finiras [01:24] Finiras, please see my private message [01:24] for using 64-bit Qster? [01:24] can someone recommend a webcam app ? [01:24] hey is there any way to find out what type of hard drive i have from the command line? [01:25] for a laptop [01:25] Hey, can Wine get a windows rootkit? :P [01:25] petersaints: yes, i dont notice any real performance increase plus you have to deal with all the programs that arent 64bit etc find 32bit libs for them etc [01:25] styles_: entirely possible [01:25] styles_, yes its possible [01:25] jrib send the pastbin to this user [01:25] im on the tablet pc now [01:25] what is a windows root kit? === patrick is now known as Guest10563 [01:25] Qster: backdoor daemons normally [01:25] !pastebin > Guest10563 [01:25] Guest10563, please see my private message [01:26] !webcam [01:26] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [01:26] Qster: click-n-0wn utilities for "hackers" (stressing the quotes) [01:26] LinMatt: I get an "Error parsing proxy url http://:8080/: Invalid Host name" [01:26] hi, I'm having sound problems and ran "killall mixer_applet2". I lost the speaker icon on top and could not get it back. anybody know how? [01:26] Qster: Yeah true... even though the only 32-bit program I use is probably Skype :P And well... I might need to use Eclipse and/or Netbeans for Java programming! [01:26] d0rax: just run mixer_applet2 & [01:27] i told u to go in add or remove programs not fire fox [01:27] petersaints: from my experience its just easier with 32bit unless like i said you have more than 3gigs to utilize [01:27] \Yeha I am, LinMatt [01:27] d0rax: or logout and login again [01:27] That's what it is doing. [01:27] Qster: good advice [01:27] jesus christ, just install flash from adobe.com [01:27] so u are in add remove porgrams [01:28] Yeah man. [01:28] orgthingy: that does not work [01:28] orgthingy: or install ubuntu-restricted-extras [01:28] LinMatt : is there a way to run adobe flash in Terminal? that may help us trouble shooting [01:28] i mean [01:28] open it up or something [01:28] LinMatt: I googled the error, turns out for some reason internet was set on automatic discovery of proxy instead of direct connection. o_O [01:28] Qster: Ok... you are right ;) I'll have 6GB of RAM but only on late December or January... and it will be a new system so it will also need a clean install xD [01:28] orgthingy: There was a stand-alone thing durring the flash 9 linux bta [01:28] beta [01:29] orgthingy: no unless he downloads a flash game and opens it in firefox [01:29] LinMatt : hmm [01:29] Thats awesome, is it easier to monitor how it works? Can you see it in in the wine folder since Ubuntu doesn't hide it? [01:29] petersaints: what do you plan to do with those 6gigs if you dont mind me asking :P i mean im never gunna shoot down more ram, but i run alot of stuff and im not even using a 1/4 of my ram at 3gigs yet.. [01:29] LinMatt : i like terminal output, helps me a lot sometimes [01:30] orgthingy: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/9/flash_player_9_linux_dev.tar.gz [01:30] SuperQ: Can you see the rootkit even if it tries to hide by hooking stuff? [01:30] well i am a 8 yr old i do not know how to make flash run in the terminal [01:30] SuperQ : i dont have problems with it, so its useless [01:30] Crap. What is the program that Hardy uses to configure X? [01:30] styles_: I doubt the windows rootkit would know how to hide itself in linux the same way it hides in windows [01:30] Gah. GOtta go. [01:30] Thanks os much. [01:30] *so [01:30] Vyacheslav : has problems with it [01:30] not me [01:30] SuperQ: thats what I though. [01:30] @ Qster: basicly I'll buy a Core i7 system if the reviews are positive... And well you know it uses triple channel DDR3! I'll probably just get 3x2GB or just 3x1GB if I don't have enough cash for it!! :P [01:30] How can i save a file in nano if its read only? the file is menu.lst [01:30] SuperQ: kool thx [01:31] * orgthingy hugs wxwidgets, GTK and QT [01:31] LinMatt: what are you tryin gtodo? [01:31] styles_: just look for wineserver running [01:31] SuperQ: kk [01:31] SuperQ: I didn't get rooted, I just want to test it ;) [01:31] oh about my web server [01:31] darkcard: you can't. You need to edit the file with 'sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst' [01:31] LinMatt: Whats the issue? [01:31] petersaints: sounds like a good system just dont see all that ram being used unless your doing heavy video/picture editing :P [01:31] Thank you jrib, ill try. [01:31] styles_: Yea, it's been said that "wine is done when you can run windows viruses" ;-) [01:31] LinMatt: what are you trying to install? Flash? like...? [01:32] SuperQ: LOL [01:32] SuperQ: but you could always end them right, you would just see a constant Wine process. [01:32] SuperQ: :) [01:32] well I have to go [01:32] goo night everyone [01:32] im using the desktop version of ubuntu and i need a server with php java script and the ability to uep flash games and vidios on it [01:32] night [01:32] hey jrib [01:32] patrick__: hi [01:33] i tryig to paste u the link [01:33] SuperQ: and it could never be "done" as long as graphics are updated like directx and such, there will always to library's to update. [01:33] but can u do that pastbin thing again [01:33] hmmm [01:33] !paste | patrick__ [01:33] patrick__: 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) [01:33] Im gonna buy a dell laptop after 2 years!

[01:35] LinMatt: that's fine [01:35] thank u but do i install apache first [01:35] 1 sec [01:35] LinMatt: please read the link ubottu gave you [01:36] LinMatt: follow the directions ubottu gave you [01:37] jrib here it is [01:37] http://paste.ubuntu.com/46459/a [01:38] patrick__: where did you get instructions to do '/dev/ttyS0 port irq 4 autoconfigure [01:38] jrib: input: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst Output: Command 'sudo' is available in '/usr/bin/sudo' The command could not be located because 'usr/bin' is not involved in the PATH enviroment Variable. bash: sudo: command not found [01:38] darkcard: what does 'echo $PATH' return? [01:39] its taking forever to install the apache stuff [01:39] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=514842 [01:39] here [01:39] why whats the matter jrib? [01:39] Guest49854: read what it says right before the box you copied it from === proksalad is now known as Fliatron [01:39] anyone know of a rar,zip program that utilizes more than 2 cores? [01:40] yea what about it he had to replace the script? [01:40] that part? [01:40] jrib: echo $PATH returns: /lib/init:/sbin:/bin [01:41] Guest49854: the part that tells you it's something that you write in a file, not a command [01:41] darkcard: so any ideas why you have that PATH? [01:41] Qster: Try "UberZip" [01:41] ok how do i do that [01:41] goo1: thanks give it a look :) [01:41] Qster: Can't vouch for it's quality though. [01:41] jrib: not a clue in the world. Just installed it, had to use the alternate cd to get it to work. [01:41] i have a bit of a situation. i had a hard reboot due to gimp crashing. i could not use ctrl + alt + f1 or anything like that. i'm on a wubi install, and i (stupidly) interrupted e2fsck. it booted, but i then realized that what i had done was stupid. i'm currently running chkdsk via windows, what should i do once i boot back into ubuntu? [01:41] Qster: Never used it. [01:42] Guest49854: I've never configured one of these. I can only repeat what the guide says: "I had to install 'setserial' with this entry in /etc/serial.conf to configure the digitizer's parameters" [01:42] People, why the Directory /var/www is not writable to php files???? [01:42] Hello [01:42] that is very confusing im kinda new [01:42] gwinbeee: Try booting back into ubuntu, it should work fine. [01:42] darkcard: erm, are you sure the install completed successfully? [01:42] !fsck > gwinbeee I think you want the fsck to run, not the windows chkdsk [01:42] gwinbeee, please see my private message [01:43] Guest49854: whats up [01:43] Guest49854: which part is confusing? [01:43] so where do i go to this this scrip stuff do you know? [01:43] Guest49854: What do you mean script stuff.. like you need an IDE? [01:43] like i dont understand what/etc/seireal config stuff is [01:43] Guest49854: apparently you install 'setserial' and edit the /etc/serial.conf file to have the stuff in the box [01:43] Guest49854: /etc/serial.conf is just a path to a file [01:43] Man, I have some crazy problems with firefox and ubuntu in general. Firefox doesnt let me use the quick search google bar thing up top right, wont let me go back or forward via the arrow buttons, wont let me access my bookmarks, or add new ones. [01:43] LinuxGhost, because you did not set the rights for www-data correct [01:44] jrib: Well I have run the install about 4 times starting over trying to get it to work correctly. The problems i ahve been having is it freezing in the middle of operating. Brand new install, havnt been able to get past updating and now it freezes at login [01:44] gwinbee:Sorry, wrong advice. I missread your message. [01:44] no style im trying to get the pen wacom to work on my tablet pc but im having a few problme [01:44] jrib: what should my path be, can i change it? [01:44] And Linux is just going crazy, wont let me bookmark folders, and fresh installed games wont run, and phun wont save files. [01:44] darkcard: the PATH you have is not the default PATH. pastebin your /etc/environment on paste.ubuntu.com [01:44] basti: and how to set it correctly? [01:44] :Guest49854: What sort of problems? [01:45] darkcard: are you using the same disk each time? have you used the check disk option when you boot from the disk? [01:45] basti? === wsuetholz_top_ is now known as wsuetholz_top [01:45] LinuxGhost, chmod g+w /your/dir [01:45] hello [01:45] I have a troubles with grub but when i follow the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto i dont even have a /boot/grub/ directory [01:45] i just installled xbuntu , the lastest version but i cant get the wacom to work [01:45] ok.do that as root user? [01:45] danbh: I have scanned every disk i made for faults before installing, the last one i used I even checked the .iso before i burned it [01:45] yep [01:45] [01:46] danbh_family: sudo touch /fastboot will be necessary after the previously mentioned command to prevent fsck from running at every restart? [01:47] gwinbeee: i don't think so, but Im not sure I follow [01:47] I just saved a 1680*1050 image but when I check it's properties it says 1024*640, why is it doing that? [01:47] basti: chmod g+w /your/dir your=var and dir=www????? [01:47] Guest49854: Hold on a second. [01:47] danbh_family: after sudo shutdown -f -R now [01:47] xanax alprazolam for sale and rivotril clonazepam [01:48] basti: basti: chmod g+w /your/dir your=var and dir=www????? [01:48] will ubuntu assume i always want fsck to run at startup after that command? [01:48] gwinbeee: you should get fsck to run at least once, then don't worry about it [01:48] any carders in here [01:48] nop [01:48] just chilling [01:48] I think linux is pretty pimp. [01:48] LinuxGhost, yes [01:48] For servers. [01:49] nop [01:49] LinuxGhost, this was just to tell you that there follows a directory as an argument [01:49] hotnbame is goood to have [01:49] oh alright [01:49] !fsck [01:49] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [01:49] And now - I finally (after 8 years of using linux) decided to try out Graphical Linux - not bad :-) Ubuntu is quite nice. [01:49] Guest49854: Try this forum post:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5763625 [01:49] yea im right there [01:49] basti: thanks [01:49] gwinbeee: no, it will only happen once [01:50] Now, the real question is...what else do I need to install besides AWN, Compiz and XChat? [01:50] blz [01:50] Guest49854: It might help [01:50] Anybody here having problems with firefox? [01:50] compiz? [01:50] danbh_family: ah, i see. is there anything special i should know regarding fsck on a wubi install? [01:50] my mouse hides when i'm opening applications... [01:50] how do i fix that...

[01:51] ajjh, that kind of stuff is coool [01:51] gwinbeee: i don't know, i don't know much about wubi, [01:51] wubi be bubi [01:51] So yeah my environment is empty [01:51] dpz: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDLscVzTlzc [01:51] allright [01:51] darkcard: I doubt your install completed successfully [01:52] Xchat kinda has shitty transparency though. [01:52] darkcard: did you "check the integrity of the cd" from the cd's boot menu before installing? [01:52] whoo , fire [01:52] jrib: well i could only even get the alt cd to work, which seems stupid because i have a gig of ram. And the alt cd i have made 3 of them to make sure they werent corrupt, all the same effect [01:52] firfox like letter, can belive it :----D [01:52] jrib: could my hardware cause this? [01:52] Guest49854: Have you tryed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom [01:53] darkcard: that isn't how you make sure they aren't corrupt. Run the integrity check [01:53] no i havent [01:53] I have a troubles with grub but when i follow the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto i dont even have a /boot/grub/ directory [01:53] jrib: I did that on every one [01:53] jrib: all clean [01:53] menus are not so good [01:53] like restorant fire pancakes [01:54] Why does bittorrent go so slow for me?

[02:17] Slowly introduce them to each other styles_ [02:17] que danke? [02:17] kira-fanboy: First, check to make sure, (via a live session), that your Ubuntu partitions DO have /boot/grub directories. You will want the hard drive with Ubuntu on it to have the highest boot priority in the BIOS. If you can then follow the wiki to get grub properly installed onto the partition, you'll be able to add an entry for Windows to menu.lst and hopefully go from there. [02:17] TrailWhisperer: funny? [02:17] styles_:listet in fstab ? [02:18] xomp ittle be a second k? [02:18] NoCigar, http://zamzar.com/ ?

[02:19] darren_ : but, wow, many great stuff @ getdeb.net [02:19] basti: how to test? [02:19] orgthingy, ok thanks il go take a look [02:19] LinuxGhost, when you did this, try something like touch /var/www/test [02:20] kira-fanboy: In that case, just make sure the Ubuntu drive has priority to boot in the BIOS and then check to make sure /boot/grub exists and try to reinstall Grub again. [02:20] bobertdos, the small partition ( [02:20] xomp this doesnt look like a ubuntu theme [02:20] Anyone been successful with getting zsnes to run with sound on Ubuntu?

[02:23] ok here is the bad question for the day KDE VS Gnome, which is better, I have been reading this for a few weeks and I can not decide which one is bettter. What is your all's idea KDE VS Gnome , which one is better? [02:23] LinuxGhost, if there was no error when you typed in the touch command, than everything is ok. you just have to log out of kdm/gdm [02:24] is Intrepid stable enough to run as main desktop yet? [02:24] No sound on my Satellite, shogran [02:24] kira-fanboy: Yeah, then that's your problem. Generally speaking, we don't recommend installing Grub directly to the MBR like that, because that's what tends to cause this problem. [02:24] and log in again [02:24] johninlex: please ask that in #ubuntu-offtopic instead of here [02:24] johninlex: gg thats the million dollar question, but you are asking in a ubuntu channel so most will say gnome ;) [02:24] sattelinte on what?? [02:24] xiambax: No. It's alpha software. #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid questions too. [02:24] xiambax: no. Not until it is released [02:24] basti: log out of kdm/gdm? [02:24] xiambax-yes, you can get more info at #eeepc or www.aspireoneuser.com [02:24] but ive tried before without stating a boot partition and I still got the Error 17 [02:24] basti: sorry some terms im noob [02:24] Sallite A105-S2081 using ati hd, shogran [02:25] LinuxGhost, if you dont know how to do this, just reboot [02:25] kira-fanboy: I have to go, unfortunately, but I would recommend trying a different approach to your installation. [02:25] and YES IBEX is stable been using it for 2 months and is working fine just expect several more updates [02:25] if its anything like the problems ive had ange1 i has something to do with you now havnig alsaoss [02:25] im not using an eeepc [02:25] sudo apt-get aoss [02:25] styles_: is it a burner or a reader ?

[02:36] Yamakiri: 32bit could possibly work too. Depends on how PAE is used. But, PAE is a cludge, you really ought to use 64bit for 8GB [02:36] yes, 32-bit can only address 3.2GB of memory... [02:36] BrightSunnyBunny: It thinks theres no disc, the drive is fine too because in Windows, I can use it. [02:36] pokeyoats: not the server edition [02:37] actually - 32-bity = 4GB but there's lot's of other crap that steals from that..

[02:45] RickX: I'm not such much a fan of it see: [02:45] !wubi [02:45] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting.

[02:49] styles:little religious question, k3b and nero work best for me [02:50] After a kernel update my geforce 6 series suddenly stopped working, and now even when i try to use an older kernel it still says that my card is not supported by the nvidia driver [02:50] !envyNG [02:50] envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package.

Under the file browser three of them show up as "320.1 GB Media". I have to click on one to get /media/disk-1. When I use Clonezilla they numbers like 6QF0GK73.

Um, I've actually had some issue with pinning versions past the dash before myself, so I don't know if its a bug or what, to be honest.

I just needed the RE [03:43] Schuenemann: well, if you're using, say, grep, you just match on locale and throw the -v flag [03:43] easiest way to connect to an oracle database?

[03:45] Flannel, what would I do if I wanted the line to be exacly locale, then? [03:45] IndyGunFreak: hey chief, still there?

[03:45] Flannel, ^locale$ [03:46] Schuenemann: Yes, that'd be the regexp [03:46]  patrick__:good, now repeat the last cmd from website-wiki [03:46] folks, i'm trying to install the netgear wg111v2 - it doesn't turn on although it looks like the drivers are installed: [03:46] # ndiswrapper -l [03:46] netwg111 : driver installed [03:47] Question: What is the command to add a panel and then add items to that panel? I need to make a series of commands that switch between Compiz+AWN vs Metacity+Panel. (Because i want to run AWN, but i often need a OGL apps, and thus, metacity) [03:47] Flannel, this is grep specific, right? For regex, locale only would match that specific line [03:47] Schuenemann: That regexp is a general regexp [03:47] Schuenemann: ^locale$ anchors to the beginning/end of line [03:48] BrightSunnyBunny: i did now it brought me to the /wacomm [03:48] Flannel, but a regex is supposed to match exacly the line. If I wanted the expression to be anywhere, I should enclose it with .* [03:49] Schuenemann: No, a regexp will match anything. Even if its just part of a line. the regexp of /locale/ will match on "locale" anywhere in the file, on any line (or in the middle of a line). grep returns lines that have matches. Not just the matched parts. [03:49] anyone got any idea? [03:49] komputes: turns out my router version isn't supported by any special firmware: Version 6.

Grep returns "lines that have a match in them" [03:51] alright, thanks [03:51] Ziroday_, webcam is working.. but not through flash [03:51] duke3d: webcam model?

I also do not have a Vista boot disk. [03:55] duke3d: you just gave it to me, a dell xps something [03:55] Schuenemann: If you want it to not need ^ and $, you need to make the wildcards be non-greedy, and even then, it's safer to just keep the anchors. [03:55] BrightSunnyBunny: 13 is good im on 16 but i cant tell what its trying to do [03:56] Flannel, but if you're saying any char in any amount, why do you need to specify the start of the line?

After upgrading from gutsy to hardy it has become painfully slow. [04:52] Holydiver, I honestly don't think you need an antivirus to protect you from any linux viruses, as you have to execute them as root to actually infect anything. If you are smart enough, you can avoid getting one of the 20 or so linux viruses [04:52] Holydiver, ask #windows [04:53] Jordan_U? [04:53] holydiver, did you install it from a deb file? because if u did u should be able to open up that deb file and view the included files and look for ones in /usr/bin or the like [04:53] Unbelive: File -> Generate package download script [04:53] hey ppl i just need to know how to launch bitdefender under linux ( to disinfect a windows partition ) and i do not have much time to try to access it under windows [04:53] Holydiver: Ah, I see [04:54] phirestalker, i installed from a .deb.run file :/ [04:54] Guest50107: I#m becoming tiered, as you are shure its a wacom in your tablet-pv i would suggest to properly follow the wiki step by step another day as there were many misstakes in , just line by line. also try the other 2 suggestions of xorg.conf [04:54] *tired [04:54] holydiver, hmmmm... well it sounds like an sh script but I wonder y they named it deb.run?....

I had to hard power off the computer and reboot. When I rebooted the update manager wouldn't open and neither would the add/remove program or the Package manager.

I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [06:49] !apton [06:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about apton [06:49] wickedpuppy, they look like they want money [06:49] !aptoncd [06:49] !APTonCD [06:49] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [06:50] lol [06:50] biouser, who ? if the domain name is taken then good luck :P [06:50] biouser, and since you will be exposing yourself to the world, you may as well read up on iptables as well [06:50] ty wickedpuppy , venger [06:51] biouser, first-come-first-serve rule applies very well to domain names ... and yes iptables or firestarter .. [06:51] sudo aptitude install says the same thing. [06:51] Nutzebahn, can you paste the output to paste ? [06:52] does anybody know of a voice modifier for ubuntu if they even exist... [06:52] starn you want to sound like Mickeymouse on Skype? [06:52] starn, audacity [06:52] chubs_: i want realtime. [06:52] starn, edit quickly [06:52] Does anyone know of any programs that are better than Audacity? [06:53] dr_willis: and no. i do alot of audio work and need realtime changes... [06:53] Nutzebahn: for what purpose? [06:53] vampur, how will you make use of aptoncd when you proposed using a windows machine to download the files? [06:53] Lets see how this flys [06:53] starn you mean theres a actual use for that stuff? :) Ive only used it to annoy my friends in voice chats. [06:54] dr_willis: lol. yea.. like live radio broadcasts.... [06:54] starn if theres a way to do it under linux - ive not seen it. The only time ive seen it doeable under windows is with my Creative Sound cards. [06:54] Nutzebahn, I think xchat is better than audacity. I like "cd" too [06:54] dear i mean the example for windows like in dere we can download the updates in exe format and can install later anywhere so i was asking is there any way out in linux so that i can get updates and install in diff sys [06:54] chubs_, dont forget [06:54] chubs_, dont forget fortune | cowsay === jscinoz_ is now known as jscinoz [06:54] dr_willis: i've used a few programs on windows that change ya voice in realtimes with intergrated sound... [06:55] dr_willis, fortune is probably the most important program ever developed [06:55] * chubs_ goes off to find out what cowsay is [06:55] chubs_, it prints out a cow, with a 'chat bubble' [06:55] oh yeah [06:55] vampur, well when you use another system, you are missing the whole list of what you'd need along with there depedancies, so unless you have another ubuntu system that is ahead of where you are in your target system then i think you would approach this differently [06:55] that's like the amiga error message right? [06:55] *yawn* Now to wait for Webkit to build. [06:55] Is there a somewhat recent page discussing the pros and cons of choosing the 64 bit implementation over the 32 bit? [06:56] eeboy, flash, java. there, saved you the page [06:56] Eeboy: You can use more than 4gbs of ram in 64 bit [06:56] Assuming we're speaking of the OS. [06:56] chubs_: no flash? [06:56] dear venger i have the same bios and same version and same harddisk in the sys and want to have the updates install in that sys which dosen't have internt , could i know the way out [06:56] For audio editing. [06:56] eeboy, technically no, but yes it works anyways, just more prone to crashing [06:57] chubs: Are you running the 64 bit version? [06:57] chubs_, yeah [06:57] s/chubs_/eeboy [06:58] vampur, hmm are you saying you are dual boot and your windows internet works but the ubuntu doesn't? [06:58] chubs: right on! Given those two items... would you still recommend it? [06:58] no sir i mean i am having another sys at some other place in which there is no internet and in that sys i have ubuntu and i want to install the updates in that system now can i know how may i [06:59] chubs: I've got 4GB and want to utilize it all... [06:59] eeboy, yeah, they still work. If you've got 4gb definitely do it [06:59] Thanks! [06:59] eeboy, and tab is for autocomplete in linux, it's a useful tool [06:59] vampur if you have ubuntu in both places, then you are good to go. sorry for the confusion brought by me about your mention of windows [07:00] eeboy, chu-tab, try it out ;) === red_ is now known as PrivateRolf [07:00] it's okh now can i get the way out so that i may install the updates from one sys to another without using the internet [07:00] chubs: I'll check it out... thanks [07:00] vampur: you have been told about APTonCD about a half-dozen times. Is there is some reason that will not work for you? [07:00] can people throw out some names of some easy to use, easy to install LAMP wiki software? or other pointers? not really sure where to begin (I do already know LAMP however) [07:00] eeboy, i meant right now. my name isn't being highlighted because you're forgetting the underscore, but it's okay :) [07:01] Xorg Ninjas, Are you out there? [07:01] thank you sir [07:01] vampur, right make sure the source machine is plenty up to date so that his /var/apt/cache has all the files and you are good to go [07:01] Ok, I've just installed WINE. How do I install the Windows based programs on it? [07:01] chubs_ test [07:01] nesw: the easiest is prob TiddlyWiki (1 file) and not really LAMP. mediawiki is prob most popular ... there are truly a wide variety though i think wikipedia has a comparison page [07:01] Krauss, #winehq and appdb.winehq.org [07:02] ? [07:02] venger, thanks alot. [07:02] eeboy, congrats, remember it if you ever commandline stuff aronud [07:02] s/aronud/around [07:02] nesw: Yes, maybe check here for a high-level comparison: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_wiki_software [07:02] ushimitsudoki: thanks [07:02] chubs_ do all IRC clients highlight? My name doesn't [07:03] eeboy, no, what're you running? [07:03] Pidgin [07:03] Pidgin isent a very good IRC client. :( [07:03] chubs_, do yourself a favor and install xchat if you're planning on spending time here [07:04] but i think you can configure name highlighting in pidgin if you so desire [07:04] chubs_ xchat... will do [07:04] s/chubs_/eeboy [07:06] I need to switch which side of the screen my mouse goes off of to get to the other monitor.

[07:09] chubs_ I see the benefit now... very helpful... thanks! [07:09] ushimitsudoki: Yes!

[07:10] Falcons_roost: you just showed ur password :) [07:10] eeboy, no problem [07:10] ushimitsudoki: MAG [07:10] o_o [07:10] i thought the thing was privite [07:11] when calling nickserv cmd [07:11] ushimitsudoki: I am running straight X11 fyi. [07:11] i wil reset it in the user window [07:11] Falcons_roost: never enter that command in a #room window [07:11] xess: alright i don't know those - the standard xorg.conf way is the "ServerLayout" section. You specify the screen and the positioning. (check man pages for syntax). (Of course, the easy way is swap cables!) [07:12] Falcons_roost: thats right [07:12] could someone remind me of the package name for the service that will put an IP on a block list after x number of failed attempts?

The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).

[07:18] ianq, no [07:18] ob: i think the LABEL= should be removed. just use /dev/sda1 [07:18] Dabbu: maybe that is a corrupt zip?

[07:20] hrrm im having a problem, more like a confusion... I have an ati radeon 9000, I installed ubuntu without problems, the driver that comes with ubuntu by default seems to work amazingly, I have compiz with all the options and effects working amazing, thing is....is this technically correct? should i worry about installing a "driver"? [07:20] thing is i wanna have dual monitors working...and i dont know how to make it work [07:20] nesw, ok. Thanks! [07:20] cotton: there is no other driver for it [07:20] the driver that comes by default IS the driver? [07:20] ianq, what are you compiling? [07:21] cotton: yes, the proprietary driver provided by ATI only works for 9500 and up [07:21] Dabbu: run file-roller to create the arcive. I think the option is under Edit/Password. [07:21] !fglrx | cotton [07:21] cotton: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [07:21] ok..so how do I go about having dual monitors? cause it seems that in Screen Resolution i get nothing [07:21] chubs_: ndiswrapper [07:22] ushimitsudoki: here is what I got thus far I have to restart x to check it. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/46524/ [07:22] ianq, btw there are mirrors, but it seems like that's not really your problem [07:22] Cotton: Try displayconfig-gtk [07:22] crdlb: amazing, if this is the driver i love it, it works awesome, but...you know how can i get dual monitors working? [07:23] ianq, unless you don't have the kernel source at all i guess, but i think even that is an ubuntu package [07:23] cotton: well, you're limited to 2048x2048 total [07:23] PrivateRolf: gonna try that [07:23] chubs_: good to hear ;) basically, i bought a new wlan card today and it's not working. the drivers loaded fine, but the device won't turn on. i decided to completely remove ndiswrapper and get the newest version. [07:23] wow, why? [07:23] hehe [07:24] sss [07:24] ushimitsudoki:this edit->password is not active ? [07:24] xess: are those comments at the top actually in the xorg.conf? [07:24] coky [07:24] cotton: because that's the maximum texture size of pre-r500 (X1300+) radeons [07:24] ianq: which chipset? does the card need ndiswrapper at all? [07:24] hello [07:24] ianq, is the device on? I know it sounds like it's a stupid question, but it's a common error [07:25] rze4747: not sure. how do i find that out? [07:25] hi all [07:25] crdlb: damn... [07:25] chubs_: i don't see a way to turn it on. i plugged it into my windows laptop and it turned on without my doing [07:25] ianq: lspci or lsusb, depends on how the card is connected [07:25] im trying the config but it is failinf [07:25] failing [07:25] rze4747: usb? [07:25] ianq, googling the card may help [07:25] sorry why wvdial reboot alone [07:25] chubs_: i did - i followed http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=51993 to no avail [07:26] chubs_: # modprobe ndiswrapper /*if works, you can see the light on*/ <<< this didn't turn the light on [07:26] chubs_: i'm kinda running out of ideas here... [07:27] can someone tell me a good photo editor or paint shop? [07:28] ianq, i don't have much experience messing with ndiswrapper, so I can't help you out too much. But it seems as if there are native drivers for it as well [07:28] chubs_: oh. where did you find that? [07:29] ianq, someone mentioned it on the forums, but further googling gave me this site, which may be easier to follow [07:29] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-netgear-wg111v2-wireless-dongle-card-on-ubuntu-edgy.html === prateek is now known as Guest42845 [07:29] hey guys for the past week, my hardy comp won't run synaptic for some reason [07:29] hmmm edgy..

Create the zip first with no password. Open file-roller and open that zip. Edit the password and save with new name. Seems like file-roller is a bit particular in how it works. [07:31] ianq: grepping for netgear might make things easier, assuming that's what rze4747 is looking for [07:31] does anybody around here know how to configure a text only thermal printer on ubuntu??? it's busy driving me insane:( [07:31] nat to uninstall my firefox completely and reinstall it freshly [07:31] !paste | ianq [07:31] ianq, please see my private message [07:31] chubs_: better not grep, in case they changed the chipset [07:32] im using ubuntu 8 [07:32] how can i [07:32] any one [07:32] hi [07:32] hi [07:32] any1 text-only printer?

[07:33] brb [07:34] amanulla, you can get the package names using the package manager tools 'apt-cache search PATTERN' will show package names also [07:34] amanulla: apt-cache search searches. But that is going to work only if you installed firefox from the repos, not if you got it somewhere else [07:34] ianq, chubs_ : this card needs the rtl8187 driver, which is included in 8.04. no ndiswrapper needed. [07:34] I did it. I set up dual monitors! Thank you all. [07:34] nice [07:34] !ask | Revolution2008 [07:34] Revolution2008: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[07:35] in ubuntu [07:35] amanulla, then 'apt-cache search firefox' should show the package names with firefox [07:35] rze4747, that's what i was saying before, but it appears that people have various issues using the native drivers and prefer to use ndiswrapper [07:35] amanulla, im pretty sure the package name is 'firefox' :) by the way [07:35] !find firefox [07:35] ianq too^ [07:35] Found: totem-mozilla, firefox-greasemonkey, firefox-launchpad-plugin, firefox-sage, firefox-showcase (and 78 others) [07:35] !firefox [07:35] firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu.

Once I got it working I just had to change rightof to leftof in the xorg and I was golden. [07:37] ushimitsudoki, I have to use mouse driver to hotplug [07:37] Hello. I'm new to this .. how should I connect to the ruby mailing list? [07:38] pen: what do you mean when you say "hotplugging"? what are you doing and what is happening vesus what you expect to happen? [07:38] amanulla, im pretty sure the package name is 'firefox' :) so 'sudo apt-get install firefox' [07:38] rze4747, understandable, I'm also using open source drivers for my wireless card and don't ndiswrap anything. just saying why he might be purposely ignoring those [07:38] rze4747: i upgraded to 8.04 an hour ago or so [07:38] xess: well good job! [07:38] ushimitsudoki, I expect mouse to work after I plug the usb in. But it's not working. [07:38] ushimitsudoki, it happens when I want to use evdev for my mouse [07:39] pen: it is not plugged in when you boot? === niki77 is now known as nikola77 [07:39] ushimitsudoki, yes, usually I plug in after I boot in [07:39] ushimitsudoki, I'm using a laptop [07:39] dr_willis:im having a problem in opening sites with my firefox i wanna install it freshly but im unable to uninstalll it [07:39] ianq: don't expect the led on the stick to do anything. the rtl8187 driver does not support the led yet. [07:39] ushimitsudoki, and it really drives me crazy [07:39] pen: alright. how about you plug it in and try "lsusb"? Does Logitech show up there? [07:40] amanulla, most likely - its not a firefox issue.. bt a user settings issue/plugin issue. removeing/reinstalling stuff under linux rarely 'fixs' things and it WOnt fix any user-setting-being-the-issue-problems [07:40] rze4747: heh, gotcha. how do i make it search for wlans and connect? [07:40] ushimitsudoki, yes [07:40] ianq: with network manager [07:40] amanulla, i would make a new user, and see if their firefox hsa the same issue. If it does - then it might be a firefox issue. [07:40] rze4747: i'm using the console...? [07:40] ushimitsudoki, I know the problem, because evdev got unload after the first time detection when starting x [07:40] no with new user it was ok [07:41] ianq: sudo iwlist wlan0 scan [07:41] ushimitsudoki, since it can't detect a mouse it just unload itself [07:41] ushimitsudoki, I don't know how to load it again so I'm clueless [07:41] but with new user login i have no add/remove acees [07:41] is there anyway i can determine what com port my printer is running on... i need to configure it.. [07:41] access [07:41] what to do [07:41] amanulla, that shows its not a firefox system wide issue then. You may want to move/remove the problem users .mozilla (i think thats the name of the settings directory) to somewhere else. and start firefox with new/default settings [07:41] crdlb: if i get a new card, should i get a better resolution? or is the driver? i bought two brand mew 19" :( [07:41] rze4747: that's what i thought >> wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down [07:41] amanulla, in short 'remove the problem firefox settings' :) [07:41] pen: ah i see. are you sure you need the udev driver? I use "mouse" for mine, because I had button detection problems with udev? Does that cause the same problem? [07:41] ianq: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [07:42] ushimitsudoki: Thank you. It was an awful lot of work but I learned stuff. Like some times the gui is better. [07:42] cotton: it's the card, but getting a newer card would probably mean using a different driver [07:42] ushimitsudoki, I need evdev because it can detect all my mouse button correctly as separate event [07:42] rze4747: oh. [07:42] if i use this http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Install_from_USB_stick#The_New_and_Improved_Way.2C_on_Windows on a usb-stick. can i still use the stick afterwards for filestoring? [07:42] how to start firefox with default settings? === Guest78708 is now known as DylanJ [07:43] amanulla, firefox --safe-mode [07:43] amanulla, delete the old settings directory.. and start firefox [07:43] or like pen suggests :) [07:43] anyone? [07:43] :) [07:43] ushimitsudoki, any ideas? [07:43] crdlb: i have a nvidia FX 5something around here, that would be better i think, right? [07:43] Guantanamo, if it makes the filesystemn ext2/3 you need special drivers for windows to read/write the thing.. if it stays with vfat/ntfs then windows can use it. [07:43] ushimitsudoki, I remember this bug is going to be fix in 8.10 but I don't trust it [07:44] amanulla: also, you can start the profile editor and create a new profile, which should start out as the defaults [07:44] cotton: yes, the limit for that is 4096x4096 [07:44] dr_willis:can i re-format into FAT and then use it natively from windows? [07:44] pen: alright. the last thing i can say then is that if you are using "Device" "/dev/input/eventX" in xorg.conf that this value can change? bid your try /dev/input/by-id, (or at least verify that the event there matches the current event for the mouse? [07:44] rze4747: how do i connect once i found a wlan?

[07:45] ushimitsudoki, well, if I plug my mouse in before X starts it will detect it correctly [07:45] ianq: depends on the type of encryption [07:45] amanulla: firefox -ProfileManager [07:45] rze4747: not encrypted [07:45] ushimitsudoki, problem is that evdev will be unloaded if it can't find any mouse the first ime [07:45] rze4747: open wlan [07:45] mrooney: ctrl-alt-F7 [07:45] ushimitsudoki, problem is that evdev will be unloaded if it can't find any mouse the first time === franki_ is now known as franki^ [07:45] nesw:start the profile editor and create a new profile, which should start out as the defaults?

There doesn't seem to be a drop zone for it and you always end up placing the file into a folder.? [07:45] Guantanamo: hmm, it sort of worked, brought me to a black screen with the mouse, which is completely frozen :) [07:45] amanulla: I believe so === deadguy_etch is now known as deadguy [07:46] mrooney_, or F7 i forget [07:46] Guantanamo: now 100% cpu apparently by the fan speed [07:46] supercom: sure [07:46] ianq: then check with iwconfig wlan0 if the card is connected [07:46] that's cute [07:46] nesw:ok tell me how to do that [07:46] hubar: How do you do it? [07:46] supercom: as long as you don't highlight any directory entries. [07:46] hubar: Do I need to hold a button down or something? [07:46] pen: hmm I can't say about that. As a workaround, I can suggest using the mouse driver (I have it working with 10 buttons on a G9, but it took some twiddling). Outside of that I got nothing because I gave up on the evdev driver for being to finicky [07:47] amanulla: from the Terminal command line, type firefox: -ProfileManager [07:47] Mornin [07:47] ok [07:47] amanulla: I think it should be straightforward from there [07:47] supercom: If you don't highlight any directory entries, the copy will be like what you said you wanted. [07:47] I'm about to switch from Spamassasin to Bogofilter to see if I get better filtering. Should I start clean or with my old bogofilter data? [07:47] is it possible to attach same window (in same time) at 2 computers ? [07:47] Hubar: But that assumes it lets you do that. If the list is too large, or screen too small, you can't get any drop zone to appear. just scroll bars and no way to do it. [07:47] ushimitsudoki, then how do you make mouse driver detect buttons for logitech mouse? [07:47] rze4747: it's got the ESSID next to wlan0 now. i can't seem to be able to ping websites though? [07:47] with this its same as before my problem havnt gone any alternative? [07:47] ianq: i wasnt finished [07:47] amanulla: sorry I messed that last thing up should be.. "firefox -ProfileManager" [07:47] hubar: and unlike windows, dragging to another field, like file size still acts the same as dropping into the folder. [07:47] ianq: dhclient wlan0 [07:48] can someone help me connect my laptop wirelessly. i just installed ubuntu [07:48] rze4747: dude, you're like the master of this stuff. it's working! will it remember these things upon reboot? [07:49] crdlb: i installed the propietary drivers for the nvidia card, but now one of the monitors is not working and the other shows like a 1x1 resolution [07:49] and when i try to change the resolutions it shows me the finger [07:49] ianq: no, you'll have to put some lines into /etc/network/interfaces [07:49] can I serve a website without buying a domain name? [07:49] serve/host [07:49] biouser, you could.. but it may be a little hard to find . [07:49] biouser: yes, but why so cheap? [07:49] cotton: you need to use nvidia-settings; the builtin ubuntu tool won't work well because nvidia doesn't like to implement Xorg standards :) [07:49] where can i find the temperry intrnt files? [07:50] rze4747: copy whatever it has for eth0 and change the ip? [07:50] pen: here is part of my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/46527/ ... i also mapped the tilt left and right to "(" and ")" using Logitech software because they were reporting as mouse 11 and 13 (I think), and some games wouldn't allow that high a mouse button for binding. I have a few blog entries on what i tried as well. Here is an overview if you care to read about some of the things I tried: http://meandubuntu.wordpres [07:50] hubar: any ideas? [07:50] crdlb: where can i find nvidia-settings? [07:50] ianq: no, it must look different [07:50] ianq: wait... [07:50] dr_willis:im not having problem when i login as new user but no administrative access there can i have that? [07:50] dr_willis, danbh_intrepid this is currently just a development project that has no money [07:50] cotton: there's an nvidia-settings package [07:50] ushimitsudoki, the last link is incorrect [07:50] supercom: hold on [07:50] hubar: ok. [07:51] biouser: well, there is always dyndns.org [07:51] amanulla, as your problem user.. the user can delete their own .firefox or .mozilla directory.. OR as that user open up a terminal and use the commands suggested. You do not need root acccess to do these things. [07:51] crdlb: installing, thanks, that should make it work then [07:51] where can i find the temporary internet files [07:51] pen: ? should work just checked it [07:51] danbh_intrepid, they want $15/yr it looks like [07:51] supercom: I don't really understand what you want.:( [07:51] biouser: no, its free for the dynamic domains [07:52] hubar: If you can't expand the list to have white spaces for dropping files, is there another zone in the window that will work for copying files to that level and not into a folder? [07:52] ushimitsudoki, the last one, the workdpre... [07:52] ushimitsudoki, wordpre [07:52] how to delete .mozilla directory where can i find it? [07:52] im completely new to ubuntu [07:52] pen: well works on this end, but you can search it out if you like i don't want to spam my blog all over the channel [07:52] supercom: oh, like I told you, drop to anything if no directory is highlighted will be fine. [07:52] amanulla, in your home directory [07:53] any1 here got some good cups knowledge? [07:53] supercom: I don't understand why that won't work. [07:53] amanulla: in nautilus press ctrl+H [07:53] amanulla: why would you want to do that? [07:53] amanulla, ctrl-H to show hiddel files [07:53] hubar: But I can't do that. Unless I make white space under the last directory I see, it always picks a directory. [07:53] ok can any one tell me where can i find all installed files from add/remove programs in ubuntu [07:53] ushimitsudoki, we can use mesg [07:53] amanulla: all over your computer. or do you just want a list of the programs yourself? [07:54] ParoXoN:i have a problem with my firefox [07:54] ianq: http://phpfi.com/352911 [07:54] supercom: try press ctrl+mouse button [07:54] amanulla: go on... [07:54] supercom: that should deselect the directory for you. [07:55] ParoXoN:before my firefox is fine but recently i installed some pop ups so i m getting problem in opening many sites [07:55] hubar: I ctrl+mouse and drag and drop my file, but it still highlights the folders in the second window pane. [07:55] they are opening as just text [07:55] with no colors [07:55] so is anyone aware of the weather/time/calendar widget causing the entire menubar to freezeup? [07:55] or back ground effects [07:55] hubar: so I assume it will drop into it, not at the same level? [07:55] looks like some perl processes hang then die in the background [07:56] so i want to get back my firefox to default initial state what to do/ [07:56] supercom: let me try it. [07:56] amanulla, you delete your firefox settings folder [07:56] rze4747: thanks. let me try that out [07:56] hubar: Ok. You'll see that unless you resize the window so its larger than your list, you won't find any drop zones that won't place it into a folder :/ [07:56] where can i find it/ [07:57] amanulla: in your home directory [07:57] supercom: you are wrong. [07:57] waan: firefox settings folder [07:57] amanulla, why dont you just uninstall the addons? [07:57] hubar: Do tell :-) [07:57] hello [07:57] im confused which i installed .......... [07:57] is there anyone with a ssh server I can try to connect to? I don't want to log on, I just want to try and connect to help me diagnose a problem [07:57] anyone running gnome-do in 8.04? [07:57] i go on installing allllllll [07:57] What is the most comprehensive introduction to GNOME? [07:57] from add/remove [07:57] programs [07:57] amanulla: open your home folder [07:58] amanulla: press ctrl+h (ctrl and H at the same time) [07:58] amanulla: it will then show a whole bunch of folders that start with a . [07:58] including .mozilla [07:58] delete that folder [07:58] ParoXoN:then [07:58] supercom: to be honest, if you have trouble drag & drop files, try use cut/copy/paste. [07:58] amanulla: after you delete the folder, start up firefox [07:59] g [07:59] yes i find a hidden file ".mozilla" can i delete it? [08:00] ParoXoN;can i? [08:00] amanulla: it's a folder, and yes [08:00] hubar: When you say ctrl+mouse, can you be more specific? Press and hold this before the drag and drop? After? [08:00] amanulla: that folder is automatically generated by firefox if it doesn't exist [08:00] amanulla: which is what we want [08:00] amanulla: firefox keeps its own data (application, browser settings, etc.) separate from its users' data (bookmarks, extensions, etc.) [08:01] i have moved it to trash [08:01] amanulla: so by deleting that .mozilla folder, you're just clearing out all your own personal settings; firefox the program is still ok [08:01] amanulla: now run firefox [08:01] supercom: err, it is too hard to explain, try cut/copy/paste, man, it works just the same, and you don't need to have large windows. [08:01] rze4747: let's assume i used to run an apache server- can i still access it through the web using the wireless card's ip or do i have to reconfigure things? same with ssh? [08:01] ok thank u [08:01] hubar: Ok if you can't explain it, then thanks. [08:01] amanulla: things are working? [08:02] ianq: don't know for apache, but yes for ssh === yoda is now known as Guest26062 [08:02] sorry, dude. :( [08:02] ianq: i don't run apache, just thttpd from time to time [08:02] ohhhhh no same problem again [08:02] ... [08:02] Is there a nautilus channel or some place about it? [08:02] by the way i havent got that problem when i logged in as a new user [08:03] help i have edited the /etc/udev/rules.d/40-basic-permissions.rules as in 8.04 section at http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/instruction_scn1c.html now when i login to ubuntu on my normal account it locks up i can only login as root HELP [08:03] what may be matter [08:03] amanulla, what is the problem? [08:03] unable to open site completely with background colors in firefox [08:04] by the way i havent got that problem when i logged in as a new user [08:04] what site is this? [08:04] and it affects ONLY a single site? [08:04] rze4747: question about what you sent me - do i leave auto eht0 ... in that file? [08:04] http://www.beebooks.blogspot.com/ [08:04] open it [08:04] ianq: yes [08:04] amanulla, sorry I dont understand what you are saying [08:04] hello [08:05] tell me weather you can get black color in background [08:05] http://www.beebooks.blogspot.com/ [08:05] here [08:05] has anyone got the wireless to work on ubuntu using gateway 1628 [08:05] ianq: just don't plug in the cable when the wifi card is plugged in [08:05] amanulla, yep its black [08:05] any one can see [08:05] ya [08:05] but not for me here [08:05] Any nautilus experts in here that can help with a particular problem? [08:05] what addons did you install? [08:06] amanulla, what addons did you install? [08:06] supercom, no, but what's the problem? [08:06] pretender: for a different (but similar reason) i had to make some edits like that. HOWEVER, mine are in /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions and they look like this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/46534/ [08:06] amanullah can you help me set up my wireless card [08:06] chubs_ I want to drag and drop files into a folder, but not into the directories that are showing. Just at the current level. My screen is too small, so I can't expand the window to reveal white area to drop zone it. [08:06] q. what if the package to get all the manpage for C developement ? malloc and co [08:06] thats the riskkkk i cant get what i installed because i go on installing all one day from add/remove list [08:07] i cant find the add on creating a problem [08:07] supercom, just copy and paste. is there actually a problem other than your screen being to small? [08:07] amanulla, go to the firefox addons and see whats there [08:07] chubs_ : In windows, if you drag and drop to the left of an item, like its date or time field, it will drop it in the current folder. [08:07] supercom, you can always make the icons appear smaller to give you more space [08:07] amanulla, tools -> addons [08:08] Sara22: there's a realtek wireless chipset in there [08:08] chubs_: I know you can copy and paste, but I want to know if there's an alternate drop zone or keypress method to not drop into folders. [08:08] Sara22: you need to use ndiswrapper [08:08] thanks ParoXoN. but I have no idea how to set it up i am new [08:08] any body here know if pulse audio and xorg connect. Ever since I reconfigured xorg I have lost sound. [08:08] chubs_: This is similar to the laso problem where you can't use the mouse to select multiple items in nautilus. [08:08] this is getting me on my nerves [08:09] ushimitsudok got any ideas how i can fix the login problem on my main account i think its related to the change i made as i didn't make any other changes today [08:09] ParoXoN: i just converted from vista. I have no idea what it means to use ndiswrapper [08:09] i can get one monitor to 1440x900 but the other remains in one fricking 800x600 [08:09] Sara22: no problem! ndiswrapper is a little piece of software that allows one to use certain windows drivers under linux [08:09] supercom, i'm not aware of that problem, I always could? [08:09] Sara22: are you familiar with the Terminal? [08:09] pretender: well, you can login as root and just undo those changes first to see if that is indeed the problem. that's where i would start ... make sure you have the problem isolated [08:09] ParoXoN: yes :) [08:10] chubs_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/61237 [08:10] Launchpad bug 61237 in nautilus "Drag 'n Drop in list view doesn't work" [Unknown,Confirmed] [08:10] Sara22: super! ok, pop one open and type 'sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper ndisgtk' [08:10] found the bug for it. [08:10] hmm, anyone knows where i can apt-get install pidgin 2.5? [08:10] supercom, so are you asking for a workaround to a documented bug? [08:11] can u see over here http://paste.ubuntu.com/46535/ [08:11] my add ons [08:11] hubar: http://www.getdeb.net/search.php?keywords=pidgin (always check getdeb.net first i think for such things) [08:11] waan:my add onscan u see over here http://paste.ubuntu.com/46535/ [08:11] ParoXoN: it says couldn't find package ndiswrapper [08:11] chubs_: Now that I found a bug was logged, yes :P [08:12] i am stripped of my privilages how do get them back? [08:12] mitesh123 : what privilages? [08:12] Sara22: sorry! using old package names just use 'sudo apt-get install ndisgtk' [08:12] not able to mount devices, open services etc. [08:13] supercom, well at least you've figured that out, but in the future, mentioning that it was list view is an important thing [08:13] Sara22: that will handle the dependency (ndiswrapper itself, which is split into two packages) [08:13] amanulla, there is no file to download [08:13] chubs_: Sorry, I thought i mentioned it. I guess It slipped my mind. === Guest26062 is now known as dylanj [08:13] undo the changes where can i get a original copy of 40-basic-permissions.rules as i didn't create a backup [08:13] ParoXoN: ok done! [08:13] mitesh123: how did u get stripped? [08:13] amanulla, pastebin is for text only [08:14] i think its because of some updates [08:14] Whats a good converter to convert .wav files to mp3 files in ubuntu? [08:14] so how can i send screen shot of my addons [08:15] when i try to mount devices graphically it says you are not allowed to mount [08:15] sweet! now we need the windows (so called 'ndis') driver. [08:15] ParoXoN: who do I get that? [08:15] pretender: did your "before" look like the "before" on the brother site? Or, check the directory for hidden files, some text editors save a copy (that ends with a ~ or some such) Also, I forgot to mention that if you do want to try the entry i have you will need to make sure you have a "usbusers" group and that you are a member. [08:15] Sara22: I'm just trying to hunt one down for you; and it seems that there might've been a native linux driver made recently [08:15] ParoXoN: thank you! [08:15] GamingX, lame [08:16] Sara22: from realtek's website; if i'm not mistaken, that gateway should have a realtek 8187B chipset. you can check by typing 'dmesg | grep -i Realtek' [08:16] hello. does anybody know how to get stuff opened with gedit in new tabs instead of new windows? [08:16] or 'lspci | grep -i realtek' [08:16] A little confused here; I've copied two different factory ubuntu 8.04.1 CDs on two entirely different machines to an iso file (one using dd, the other using k3b) and in both cases I end up with a file havinmg the same checksum. But it's f74c0824b68ed0e07c325f529f51c09c, not c69e34e92d5402d1b87e6babc739f774 as it should be. Googleing the checksum I get returns zero results. What am I missing? [08:16] Enter the interface which is used for using dynamic DNS service [08:16] GamingX: I use "Sound Convertor" ... I thought it came with Ubuntu, but maybe I installed it? [08:16] eth0? what are the choices there do you think? [08:16] someone please help me [08:16] Sarah22 you switched from Vista to Linux? [08:16] mitesh123:what u need/ [08:17] I amtrying to set up ddclient with dyndns [08:17] hello. does anybody know how to get stuff opened with gedit in new tabs instead of new windows? [08:17] UncleChevitz: i switched from xp to Linux i have many problems [08:17] what country do you live in, I'm curious about how many americans know about linux [08:17] i need to get my privilages back [08:17] amanulla, send me the file through irc [08:17] now I need to: Enter the interface which is used for using dynamic DNS service [08:17] me too, not long ago either [08:17] ParoXoN: it says Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 01) [08:18] hyperair: that is how my gedit opens file by default [08:18] what is irc? [08:18] who has the dell inspiron mini 9 ? [08:18] amanulla: not able to mount graphically, it says you are not allowed to mount [08:18] internet relay chat [08:18] !irc | amanulla [08:18] with ubuntu [08:18] amanulla: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [08:18] amanulla, the name for the 'system of chating' you are using now. :) [08:18] mitesh123:what u want to mount? [08:18] amanulla, you are using irc right now [08:18] Sara22: that's the wired network adapter, i believe [08:18] UncleChevitz, there are a few of us ;) [08:18]  amanulla :'( what kind of problems? [08:18] my other ext3 partitions [08:19] ok how to send [08:19] ParoXoN: i think someone told me its a USB driver but its built in internally. [08:19] UncleChevitz:my firefox ............... [08:19] amanulla: not only mount i even cant open services and user groups [08:19] you can try 'lsusb | grep -i realtek' [08:19] thanks for the help i will give it a go [08:19] mitesh123:are u using ubuntu [08:19] I'm one, but I'm geeky, I'm wondering how aware non-geeks are of the variety of OSs available and ready for end users [08:20] which edition? [08:20] rze4747: i can't seem to be able to connect via ssh..any idea? [08:20] yo yo yo [08:20] amanulla: yes hardy [08:20] hey cool an active ubuntu chat [08:20] https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/user-guide has got a subdirectory 'C'. Where can I find a subdirectory 'de'? [08:20] does anyone know if there is a way to list serial devices like lsusb but for serial? [08:20] UncleChevitz, polling for that in an ubuntu IRC channel ? [08:20] ianq: the the ssh server running? [08:20] chubs_: Whats the syntax to convert multiple files using lame? [08:20] ActionParsnip:solveeeeeee my problem mannnnn [08:20] :D [08:20] plsssssssss [08:20] ParoXoN: it says Bus 006 Device 004: ID 0bda:0158 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. [08:20] Bus 006 Device 003: ID 0bda:8189 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. [08:20] rze4747: not sure. # ssh start throws an error [08:20] sorry, wrong room, I feel dumb [08:21] sup amanulla [08:21] Here's a quickie question: Mounting External EXT2 HDD in WinXP (Linux Noob)....Worth the effort?

[08:21] rze4747: sorry, i'm typing ;) [08:21] amanulla: the problem is i am not allowed to accesssystem configuration [08:21] amanulla: sup = whats up = how can i help [08:21] Sara22: so far that's matching what I'm reading; apparently that's what the device is detected as [08:22] ianq: u need to install opensshd server first before u can start it [08:22] Sara22: but the 8187 driver should work [08:22] Action: ....Bah....the thing is that I could buy another disk, format it to FAT32 and transfer them inside of Ubuntu for less effort, from what my research shows. [08:22] ninjakitty, are you talking about usb devices or just your wireless card? [08:22] ninjakitty: lsusb is the starting point...it will list usb decives... use "sudo lsusb -v" for lots o details [08:22] ianq: are you trying to ssh from another machine? [08:22] can any one tell me is html work of scripting and all is possible in linux i mean to say visual studio [08:22] rze4747: yes, sir [08:22] GamingX, lame doesn't support that by default. you'd have to make your own batch script or use a different encoder. I think bladeenc supports that, not sure if it's in the repos [08:22] ParoXoN: how do I get and install the 8187 chipset [08:22] MaxRide: you can read and write to ntfs with ntfs-3g. and please tab complete names in here [08:22] ianq: can you ping the ip of the machine with the ssh server? [08:23] Sara22: I msg'd you an url for the driver [08:23] A little confused here; I've copied two different factory ubuntu 8.04.1 CDs on two entirely different machines to an iso file (one using dd, the other using k3b) and in both cases I end up with a file havinmg the same checksum. But it's f74c0824b68ed0e07c325f529f51c09c, not c69e34e92d5402d1b87e6babc739f774 as it should be. Googleing the checksum I get returns zero results. What am I missing? Different ISO for the stamped disks? null-padd [08:23] ins? [08:23] waan, just wireless, USHimi thats a buttload of text, as i've seen it in posts [08:23] ParoXoN: oh, let me see where that is. thix xchat thing didn't pop it up [08:23] ninjakitty, try iwconfig [08:23] rze4747: no [08:23] GamingX, i'd recommend batch encoding since you seem to not be afraid of the command line. check out this link: http://www.savvyadmin.com/batch-mp3-encoding-with-linux-and-lame/ [08:23] zcat[1]: your image is most likely bad [08:23] ActionParsnip: two different FACTORY STAMPED disks returning the same ISO? [08:24] wich netbook runs ubuntu fine? default install... [08:24] ActionParsnip: That's what I'll do then. It's a one time transfer, and I fear that any config changes to my EEEPC running XP will result in me reloading the os....AGAIN. [08:24] Action Parsnip: Anyways, thanks for the help! [08:24] can any one tell me is html work of scripting and all is possible in linux i mean to say visual studio [08:24] ParoXoN: i am sorry I dont see it. maybe i have to configure xchat to get messages? [08:24] ianq: can you ping from the machine running to ssh server to that one that runs the client? [08:24] waan: so, in terminal -sudo iwconfig? [08:24] zcat[1]: where are you getting the 'correct' checksum? Are you computing it off the stamped disc or getting it off the website? [08:24] rze4747: actually, from my ubuntu env i can ping websites, but not the machine that runs the client [08:24] two different disks, two different machines, using a different program each time and the file I get is bit for bit identical.. [08:24] vampur: yes. there are lots of IDEs in Linux. Eclipse and Netbeans are two you might like to check out, but there are many many more [08:25] are there any good packages for port forwarding with ddclient and dyndns? [08:25] MaxRide: you are adding a single line to /etc/fsab, hardly needs a reinstall. just backup the old then you can restore it if you screw it up [08:25] ninjakitty, just iwconfig will list wireless devices [08:25] k [08:25] Vampur: I suggest (I know this isn't what you want to hear) just editing HTML in text editor.... It takes a lot longer to develop, but the code is a TON cleaner compared to Visual Studio / Dream Weaver / ETC [08:25] rze4747: from 192.168.21 (that's my eth0 static ip on the ssh server machine!!) Destination Host unreachable [08:25] amanulla: u thr? [08:25] zcat[1]: if the md5sum is bad, its a drink coaster [08:25] yes [08:25] Sara22: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=1&Level=6&Conn=5&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true [08:25] mitesh123:yes [08:25] amanulla: what do i do? [08:25] Sara22: guess my ircc is messed ^.^; [08:26] ianq: wait... you said you run the ssh server on the machine with the wifi card [08:26] thank you ParoXoN! let me check that [08:26] accesssystem configuration means? [08:26] zcat[1]: ok, the checksum f74... is correct for teh copied discs, then [08:26] ActionParsnip: In that case Canonical just sent me 90 drink coasters for Software Freedom day. they all have the same md5sum. [08:26] rze4747: yes, that's the ubuntu machine. my laptop that i'm on right now is the other one [08:26] SO MAXRIDER SUGGEST ME WHAT THE BEST WAY TO WORK WITH THE html WORKOUTS LIKE FLASH AND OTHER programs [08:26] ActionParsnip: Ah, you misunderstood I think...I actually tried to get the EXT2 partition to mount on Windows, which didn't work out....What I will be doing is mounting the NTFS / FAT32 partition in Ubuntu. [08:26] Crap...no devices listed...it's plugged in.... [08:26] zcat[1]: how did you computer the c69... checksum? did you checksum the original factory disc? [08:26] zcat[1]: if you boot them then check the cd for defects does it pass? [08:26] ianq: and both run ubuntu? [08:26] so why are the factory stamped disks not the same image as what's available for download? [08:27] ActionParsnip:i want to completely remove my firefox and reinstall it [08:27] vampur: kill the capslock [08:27] amanulla: like opening System>Administration>Services and User and Group etc... [08:27] rze4747: no. the laptop is on xp [08:27] Vampur: Let me research a second. [08:27] can i? [08:27] ActionParsnip: yes [08:27] ninjakitty, then try lsusb -v and see if its there [08:27] amanulla: sudo apt-get --purge remove firefox [08:27] ianq: and how it the xp notebook connected, also with wifi? [08:27] vampur: capslock is an inch far stretch... [08:27] Thanks chubs_. [08:27] amanulla: you can check using dpkg -l | grep firefox [08:27] rze4747: yes [08:27] ianq: what is the ip address of the notebook? [08:28] oups sorry everyone [08:28] Vampur: Here's a forum link for Flash development (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=160840) [08:28] where are logs stored by default on xchat [08:28] mitesh123:ohhhhhh you cant find sytem->preferences,sytem->administration tabs [08:28] rze4747: 192.168.2.7 [08:28] ianq: and what is the ip address of the _wireless_ interface on the ubuntu machine? [08:28] GamingX, no problem [08:28] TrustNoOne: they're not stored by default at all, but if you turn logging on I think .xchat2/logs/ [08:29] amanulla: no i cannot open them, when i try to do so it says you are not allowed to access system configuration [08:29] and for Html work out script editing as when i do from text editor it dosn't save in html format so what can i do to work with html stuffs [08:29] i [08:29] anybody there? [08:29] zcat[1], when I load a room, it shows me the logs and says loaded from log.... I wanted to know where that was stored [08:29] ActionParsnip:upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 8 not upgraded. [08:29] After this operation, 123kB disk space will be freed. [08:29] rze4747: *.4 [08:29] yes? [08:29] Waan: lsusb and lsusb -v are not listing anything.... [08:29] ianq: and you can't ping 192.168.2.4 from the xp notebook? [08:29] zcat[1], also, there is no logs folder in that directory [08:29] mitesh123:ohh r u new to linux? [08:29] Vampur: Your best option might be a two OS system, such as XP and Ubuntu....that would work out VERY well for you, as you can preview your websites in two OSes. [08:30] hmm.. [08:30] ParoXoN: i should download the linux one right [08:30] ActionParsnip:y/n? [08:30] ninjakitty, uhh ohh, no idea then sorry [08:30] amanulla: yes [08:30] amanulla: yes have been using it for 6 months [08:30] i mean it does nothing [08:30] ninjakitty: nothing at all? you have usb controllers turned on in BIOS right? [08:30] it's soppose to list a bunch of text [08:30] amanulla: you can also do sudo apt-get autoremove [08:30] right [08:31] Whats the terminal command for searching for packages? [08:31] rze4747: that's correct. from the *.7 i can ping websites, but i just noticed that as soon as i start pinging anything within my LAN (including the router), the host destination becomes unreachable [08:31] ninjakitty: try lspci and see if you usb controllers show up there [08:31] rze4747: including any websites after that [08:31] is there a scriptable way to erase all partitions on a hard disk ? [08:31] Sara22: actually, the route I'm going uses the windows driver... [08:31] ushimitsudoki, usb turned of in bios maybe? [08:31] rze4747: once i run dhclient wlan0 it works again [08:31] GamingX, apt-cache search search-word [08:31] Sara22: we could try and get the linux driver to work, though ^.^; I didn't actually know there was one [08:31] orifice: 'dd if=/dev/zero bs=512 count=1 of=/dev/sdxx' [08:31] ianq: but .7 is the windows machine, so it's a windows problem [08:31] waan: not sure, but should show something i think! [08:32] rze4747: sorry, i meant *.4 [08:32] ianq: man! [08:32] orifice: you could dd a tonne of zeros to the drive (not the partition) [08:32] that's essentially a format ? [08:32] ActionParsnip: see thishttp://www.beebooks.blogspot.com/ [08:32] oh [08:32] rze4747: chief, it's 0232 here. it's been a long day ;) [08:32] thats just for the MBR [08:32] GamingX, you can also use apt-get install ... then starting using tab-autocomplete to guess the packname [08:32] thanks [08:32] orifice: or write zeros to the file allocation table [08:32] that will do! [08:32] Vampur: MaxRide: there are several editors. I prefer geany [08:32] orifice: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:32] orifice: what I said (dd) will dump nulls over the MBR and partition table.. probably what you were after [08:32] ianq: it's 9:32am here [08:32] ActionParsnip:can u find black back ground over here [08:32] exactly [08:33] thasnk [08:33] How to set root password for the first time? [08:33] WaAn: yes 82440mx usb universal controller is listed [08:33] corigo: sudo passwd [08:33] amanulla: ? [08:33] what does "cannot move 'dir/' to '../target/dir': Directory not empty" mean? [08:33] ActionParsnip: see thishttp://www.beebooks.blogspot.com/ [08:33] corigo: its good to set it but you never need to log in as root [08:33] corigo: suggested you don't... [08:33] amanulla: why do i need that? [08:33] ianq: try this on the ubuntu machine: sudo ifdown eth0 [08:34] Chubs: Looking similar to CF IDE [08:34] normally you set the password at install , [08:34] ActionParsnip:pls tell me can u find black back ground over here [08:34] rze4747: what am i looking for? [08:34] iaindalton, if the directory is not empty, it wont move the directory unless you specify to move directory PLUS all contents by doing "mv -r /directory/ /to/location/ [08:34] err damn. [08:34] ninjakitty: how about some other USB device? Can you try a USB key or something and then see if that shows up in lsusb? [08:34] ianq: just the command: sudo ifdown eth0 [08:34] TrustNoOne: Thanks, that helps [08:34] amanulla: background of what? [08:35] rze4747: well, i ran it [08:35] ActionParsnip:black color [08:35] is it there? [08:35] ianq: maybe eth0 was still in the 192.168.2.* network causing routing problems [08:35] ianq: now ping again [08:35] ushimitsudoki, there might be a card insertion problem with that usb controller, I foudn another with the same problem [08:35] amanulla: yeah [08:35] iaindalton, if the file or folder your are moving is protected, you might need to do "sudo mv -r [08:35] ohsssss [08:35] thats my problem [08:35] ushimitsudoki, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/27892 [08:35] Launchpad bug 27892 in linux "pcmcia card insertion not detected (kernels since 2.6.15 up to 2.6.22)" [Medium,Confirmed] [08:35] TrustNoOne: mv reports "invalid option" for -r [08:35] i cant find it when i open [08:35] Why don't they have an official updated Pidgin for hardy? [08:35] yea sure lemme see [08:35] ianq: btw, what's the ip address of the router? [08:36] its just showing text [08:36] rze4747: 192.168.2.1 [08:36] ianq: so ping that [08:36] waan: good idea - the point here is that if the card isn't showing up in lsusb, then the wireless surely is not going to work! [08:36] not only for that but also for many sites [08:36] ianq: from the ubuntu machine [08:36] my firefox gonaaaa madddddd [08:36] ushimitsudoki, I suppose that is true [08:36] amanulla: uninstall all firefoxes [08:37] rze4747: it's working fine now [08:37] amanulla: and then run: cd ~/; ls -a [08:37] ianq: there you are, eth0 also was in the 192.168.2.* network [08:37] ActionParsnip:i have typed that command merge u send [08:37] hmm [08:37] ianq: you can't have both eth0 and wlan0 interfaces up [08:37] amanulla: if you see a folder named .mozilla, then rename it [08:37] rze4747: funny thing is, i modified /etc/network/interfaces the way you described it and rebooted, but wlan0 didn't work. [08:37] in home? [08:38] amanulla: yes [08:38] rze4747: how do i prevent eth0 from coming up upon reboot? [08:38] ianq: just don't plug the cable [08:38] i haven't had it in for quite some time tonight ;) [08:38] ianq: or did you configure static ip address? [08:38] ianq: edit out auto eth0 [08:38] then after renaming [08:38] ianq: to make it not auto come up [08:38] rze4747: static IP for eth0; i'd like to have the same for wlan0 [08:38] iaindalton, try "sudo mv /file/ /location/" [08:38] ActionParsnip: thanks [08:38] ianq: if static ip address then remove the line auto eth0 [08:38] amanulla: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0; firefox-3.0 & [08:39] TrustNoOne: nvm, I did mv dir/* ../dest/dir/ [08:39] Waan: it seems my usb ports may be freaked,,,lsusb still lists nothing and the drive is not listed in places... [08:39] ianq: but why wlan0 does not work through /etc/network/interfaces, i don't know [08:39] rze4747: let me try something.. [08:39] ActionParsnip:result is 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 8 not upgraded. [08:40] ninjakitty: open up /var/log/dmeg and look for errors related to usb [08:40] ianq: maybe it's because setting wlan0 to "up" state takes so long with the rtl8187 driver [08:40] ninjakitty, does it work with other operating systems? [08:40] ninjakitty: /var/log/dmesg ... srry mistype [08:40] rze4747: or eth0 was powered on, too [08:40] ActionParsnip:for sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0 [08:40] amanulla: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [08:40] ianq: still wlan0 should come up [08:41] what is a good front end for iptables/ [08:41] Does anyone have any info on a driver that WORKS in linux for the wireless pcmcia card: Dlink DWA-652? ndiswrapper does not work [08:41] rze4747: it didn't [08:41] rze4747: :( [08:41] ianq: then i don't know. so you set it up now with the commands i told you? [08:41] TrustNoOne: it depends on the chip inside,not the brand [08:42] yes, unless tabs matter [08:42] TrustNoOne: lspci will show you [08:42] ianq: tabs? [08:42] ushi i'll look, the last OS was win 2000, and was messed up by virui, i've multi wiped the drive...as far as i know it did work, but the wireless usb device is wobbly, suggesting these parts may be broken [08:42] i'll look at logs hang on [08:42] ActionParsnip, well, I will chk that tomorrow, I was just wondering for that specific cardif someone knew how to get it working since its a popular card [08:42] rze4747: i indented the last two lines [08:42] TrustNoOne: http://ph.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?s=2066a95eb8d8fb56f13235d1124317b3&t=718244 [08:42] give that a whirl? [08:43] it's a little outdated, you might not have to build madwifi from trunk anymore [08:43] ParoXoN, thanks [08:43] ianq: no i mean, how did you set up the card now, without /etc/network/interfaces ? [08:43] rze4747: oh, the same way we did earlier [08:43] ianq: okay [08:43] rze4747: dhclient wlan0 [08:43] ianq: sorry, gotta go now [08:43] how to learn linux server administration with ubuntu 8.04 server edition?

[08:44] ninjakitty: alright. on an un-realted note you can probably use to auto-complete long names. if you type the persons whole name they will usually get a beep or cue that someone has directed a message to them (differs by IRC client, but good practice).

[08:44] krazihrz, [08:44] you could take a course in it krish_ [08:44] krish_, are you asking how to get linux server certified? [08:44] TrustNoOne: I think it's still an atheros chipset in the 652 [08:44] no not certified [08:45] ParoXoN, i am not sure, that [08:45] but just to learn the concepts of linux server administraton [08:45] ParoXoN, lol that's why ill chk tomorrow, it should tho [08:45] =) nope tab just selects other things [08:45] i dont have enough money to tak e a course [08:45] ring all the reputable big name educational institutions in your area krish_, and ask them what courses they teach in linux server administration. enroll, pay and kaboom [08:45] it'd be great tho [08:45] hi i have installed desktop edition ubuntu(5gb) in my windows drive(20 gb) now i want to increase ubuntu's drive to 10 gb how to do it?????pls reply [08:45] ninjakitty, try xchat next time you get a chance, or irssi if your a console freak [08:45] TrustNoOne: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/networking/display/dlink-dir655_13.html the rev1 cards seem to be ^.^ [08:46] cant i learn self learn linux server administration?

I already told you what to do. [08:47] ActionParsnip, yeah thanks for that info [08:47] kristian_ how old are you? [08:47] ParoXoN, The only reason I want that card is to get 300mbps over network for faster streaming of MKV files [08:47] sorry [08:47] ninjakitty, yeah I agree, try some other things in usb and see if they work. If not then your usb is probably cactus'd [08:47] krish_ how old are you? [08:47] ParoXoN, so hopefully, it will work, ill give it a shot [08:47] stylist[obsd]: actually I just used dd to trim it down to the exact same number of bytes and now I get the same md5sum as the 'official' ISO .. so I was on the right track I think.. the stamped CD is padded out [08:48] i replied back tht cant take a course [08:48] yeaa...=/ [08:48] whtas my nick [08:48] if anyone can help let me know, thanks :] [08:48] ianq how old r u?

[08:49] doesn't seem to be anyone in the studio channel than can [08:49] weird [08:49] biouser, you dont require firestarter, your on linux [08:49] that can, even [08:49] The official ISO is 728221696 bytes.. if I use dd or k3b or brasero to copy the factory disk to an ISO it gives me 728528896 bytes, and of course the md5 is different!

[08:50] but the extra bytes are just padding... [08:50] hi people, who know a good program to draw vectors? like corel ? [08:50] TrustNoOne, ... [08:50] weew, inkscape [08:50] seij0, policy tab -> Inbound -> allow service for port 80 [08:50] did ubuntu has anti virus? [08:50] zcat[1]: you've been hacked [08:50] biouser, open up firestarters policy section [08:50] Weew matlab! lol [08:50] airtonix, yes? [08:50] or perhaps they aren't... perhaps there's some secret message in the factory disks!!! [08:50] O_O [08:51] iSTRONG: there are a number of ways, but you can use dpkg -L to look at the files of a package [08:51] iSTRONG, compiz has a separate settings manager, you have to install it from synaptics package manager. Its called compiz-settings-manager [08:51] airtonix, ty, I have it... [08:51] somedrew: what? [08:51] thanks iSTRONG [08:51] airtronix? [08:51] Yeah, I just decoded it.

[08:52] totpang, yes there is some antivirus programs in the repositories...but unless your worried about continuing any possible lifeccle of a windows virus to anyone you deal with...there is no point in running such programs on your own machine [08:53] waan ushi ^^^ [08:53] zcat[1], why would they do that? [08:53] iSTRONG, tab completion [08:53] ninjakitty, probably means it found the usb driver for that device?? [08:53] does anyone know how to get terminatorx running for ubuntu studio. it's not working for me. it won't play anything and when i press power is says "Failed to access audiodevice" [08:53] type the first part and hit tab ( most clients) [08:53] ninjakitty, did you find any mention of wireless in dmesg?

[08:54] when i press playback it says: "no events recorded! Nothing to playback" [08:54] TrustNoOne: Because the software works in a certain block size and can't handle ending the disk with less than a full block. [08:54] amanulla, have you looked at the ubuntu wiki yet? [08:54] the problem is that if I run the sl-modem daemon, sound cannot work [08:54] can someone help ? [08:54] and lsusb still lists nothing [08:54] amanulla, go to your add/remove programs and search for flash, you will find the flash extension for firefox [08:54] amanulla, make sure you are searching ALL software [08:55] super sizzle [08:55] hi [08:55] Whatever, I don't really know.. but the factory disks have a bunch of something at the end of the ISO, it seems [08:55] and the usb drive i have plugged in isn't listed or in places [08:55] amanulla, did you get it working yet? [08:55] ninjakitty: waan: if the wireless card is usb - and the usb controller is not registering any devices, then no wireless stuff will be showing up. ninjakitty: why not pastebin your entire dmesg? there should be lots of usb stuff in there [08:55] hi, how do i find laptop's camera driver package?? [08:55] if anyone knows let me know [08:55] zcat[1], the only logical explaination is the one i provided initially [08:55] no [08:55] karex, you mean a built in webcam> [08:55] zcat[1], dont let the AI out, it will destroy us all [08:55] TrustNoOne: what?

[08:56] ok then [08:56] ushimitsudoki: i tried dpkg -L "compiz Fusion Icon" and i get dpkg -L "compiz Fusion Icon" [08:56] ninjakitty: also NOTE ... i am poor typist [08:56] amanulla, whein in doubt.. the package manager is the tool to use for installing stuff. not 'downloading from a web site, or inside the browser' and so forth. :) [08:56] isosteganograpsy! [08:56] amanulla, did you change any font settings within firefox? [08:56] krish_: no reason why not, get websearching [08:56] dr_willis: yes, built in [08:56] ushimitsudoki: sorry, i get Package `compiz fusion icon' is not installed. [08:57] zcat[1], yeah but that way is not as fun because you aren't preventing the take over of the entire planet [08:57] what's more is I changed all the sounds and ran test properly [08:57] amanulla, or if you want the non-opensource version... [08:57] not too sure what this could be [08:57] amanulla, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash [08:57] karex, check that bot factoid. - fir my webcam it just saw it/used it automatically. I test it with the 'cheese' program [08:57] manually i havent edited but [08:57] iSTRONG: because that is not the package name. "fusion-icon" is a package name for example [08:57] installed some pop ups [08:57] amanulla, actually both those links i gave you will tell you to do the same thing [08:57] Is it possible to make a partition larger using space on the HDD that was previously unallocated to any other partition? [08:58] ushimitsudoki: thanks, how do i find the name of the package, from synaptic? [08:58] anyhow... trying to set up a m,achine to burn three disks at a time so I can burn off all these OpenDisks in time fort SFD [08:58] ushi i've sent u the entire text [08:58] ok [08:58] dr_willis: i don't understand [08:58] Question: I can not play videos over my network windows share using VLC, I can only do it using totem. Why? (vlc gives several error messages) [08:58] im following them now [08:58] I have found that my root '/' partition is at 83% capacity and i need to make it larger [08:58] What is a good front end for iptables? [08:58] zcat[1]: just make sure they are on seperate controllersand you can [08:58] sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [08:58] amanulla, if you dont have many settings to backup, you might be better off reinstalling ubuntu, and backing up your home directory? [08:59] ....nevermind [08:59] ActionParsnip: one on IDE0, one on IDE1 and one on SATA1, source drive is on SATA0 [08:59] aldaek: firestarter [08:59] i got it [08:59] iSTRONG: apt-cache search will search on a string. you could also use "locate " to search your drive [08:59] karex, from my expoerience - either the things are seen and work.. or are not supported. You can check that !webcam url for your specific make/model, or the ubuntu forums for your specific laptop type. [08:59] zcat[1]: as long as you dont have 2 on the same PATA controller ou are fine [08:59] waan:ohhhh nooooo for a simple firefox i cant reinstall ubuntu [08:59] ushimitsudoki: thanks so much for the help. bless you. [09:00] besides firefox can i use any other web browser? [09:00] can i boot to partition magic and make my '/' partition larger without loosing any data? [09:00] amanulla: sudo apt-get opera [09:00] amanulla, of course you can.. Opera is out for ubuntu as well as some others.. [09:00] well [09:00] amanulla, install firefox 2.0 instead of 3.0 and try that or there are other browsers [09:00] now trying to figure out if I tell cdrecord to use /dev/cdrom* or /dev/scd* or /dev/cdrw* devices (I have three of each) what does brasero pass as a parameter when it writes a disk? [09:00] sudo apt-get install opera === aoeuid__ is now known as aoeuid [09:00] amanulla, you could try that [09:00] ok [09:01] hello all, does somebody here know where to get a good tutorial for Gambas2?? [09:01] cant i have internet explorer here? [09:01] hello all, does somebody here know where to get a good tutorial for Gambas2?? [09:01] amanulla, lol [09:01] you can get internet explorer but it is very flawed [09:01] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/46545/ [09:01] amanulla, for example, my internet explorer uses 100% CPU when its launched [09:01] amanulla: you can run it via wine if you want [09:01] amanulla, lol why would you possibly want that? [09:01] * dr_willis wonders at times how people manage to mess things up so badly. [09:01] if i do dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/hdb bs=1024 count=200000 my 2GB pendrive will be fully cleaned ? (Not that i'm going to do that insecure command, but just curious) [09:01] waan, for webdev [09:02] ActionParsnip, i think ies4linux is better than the wine install since it doesnt work in wine half the time [09:02] amanulla: you can only run ie on windows [09:02] im using it in xp its fine there [09:02] Which ports does apache use? [09:02] ok [09:02] TrustNoOne: no idea, ive never done it but i know it can [09:02] debCarlos: forget the count, just let it error out... [09:02] psp: 80 [09:02] hello all, does somebody here know where to get a good tutorial for Gambas2?? [09:02] amanulla, IE is for windows, not linux, if you want to run it in linux use wine or ies4linux but it is very flawed and not MADE for linux, firefox is better [09:02] airtonix, ok fair enough, but it's bad practice [09:02] psp: port 80 [09:02] psp: apache is a http server, http uses port 80 [09:02] amanulla: you asked if you would use ie, We assume you mean in ubuntu [09:02] amanulla, try firefox 2.0 instead of 3,0 if ur having problems [09:03] u could run ie through a win emulater like wine...but yea...why? [09:03] debCarlos: also I'd be inclined to just write zeros. /dev/urandom can be pretty slow [09:03] waan, < 10years webdev experience....exploder is my nemisis [09:03] zcat[1]: but i think that if i quit the count it will not only overwrite hdb but hda too ! [09:03] airtonix, yah [09:03] how to know my current version of firefox im running? [09:03] debCarlos: not at all.. [09:03] hello all, does somebody here know where to get a good tutorial for Gambas2?? [09:03] amanulla: dpkg -l | grep firefox [09:03] amanulla: check the about? [09:03] waan, im very impressed with googleChrome though [09:03] amanulla: firefox -v [09:03] amanulla: or run it then click help -> about [09:03] I had apache accidently on but all of my ports are stealth. I was on danger? [09:04] airtonix: Chrome is buggy [09:04] airtonix, I used chrome and I'm hooked now, waiting for it to come to linux [09:04] waan: here is ninjakitty's dmesg: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/46545/ [09:04] psp: no [09:04] zcat[1]: Ok, going to try it on qemu... [09:04] yes its 3 how to insatll 2? [09:04] Me too, i'm a chrome fan [09:04] Should I burn my computer and toss it out of the window? [09:05] Qnix, no doubt..give it time though its basic intention is beyond what other browsers do.. [09:05] I'lkl stick with firefox for now... [09:05] good morning [09:05] amanulla: apt-get install firefox-2 [09:05] Some good ideas in chrome though from what I've read so far [09:05] I try the last update and my ubuntu crashed [09:05] and all OSS too. woot! [09:05] zcat[1]: i'l stick with opera and swiftfox [09:06] airtonix: i know , its just a matter of time only ... everything google produce is more than perfect :D [09:06] Qnix, lol [09:06] ushimitsudoki, APIC is off, would that affect a usb controller? [09:07] ushimitsudoki, i don't know about irq's and all that [09:07] DocMabuse: you updated the kernel to 2.6.24-*? [09:07] hi y'all. is there some way to get GNOME not to show the contents of ~/Desktop/ as icons on my desktop? [09:07] i dont now [09:07] DocMabuse: did you restart after upgrading the system ?? [09:07] i must say though, that on my old setup firefox did lag quite a bit...but then so did any browser based on gecko... konquerors browser seemd to give better peformance [09:07] yes [09:07] dooglus, you can edit gconf for that [09:07] ActionParsnip, thanks for the repo info [09:07] waan: possibly. some machines won't boot one way or the other there [09:07] somedrew: which key? [09:07] dooglus, dont store stuff in Desktop? [09:08] and then the problems [09:08] dooglus: you can completely disable nautilus's drawing of the desktop, or you could make it use your home dir instead [09:08] dooglus, I'll check now [09:08] DocMabuse: just type "uname -r " and tell me what version are you using ? [09:08] dooglus: /apps/nautilus/general/show_desktop for the former [09:08] DocMabuse: because i updated to the new kernel and having alot of problems with it so i moved back to 2.6.24-20-generic [09:08] dr_willis: when I take screenshots, it puts them in ~/Desktop/. firefox saves stuff there, etc. I don't want to config every little app not to use Desktop - I just don't need to see little pictures of my files [09:08] how do I extract the current xorg.conf from a live ubuntu? [09:08] 2.6.24-21-generic [09:08] I've been having all sorts of issues getting video working in my Linux distro, but ubuntu configures it perfectly [09:09] and how can i do that? [09:09] dooglus: oops, preferences, not general [09:09] however, the xorg.conf supplied in /etc/X11/xorg.conf doens't even contain the driver, much less anything else [09:09] /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:09] excelblue, you can try booting to your Ubuntu live CD and saving the xorg.conf file. [09:09] DocMabuse: try to go back to the older version by restarting and on the booting when grub comes in type ESC key and select your kernel [09:09] excelblue, cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf destination [09:09] TrustNoOne: a simple websearch m'lad [09:09] which should be less than 2.6.24-21 [09:09] hmm - but those xorg.conf contain almost no data? [09:09] 2.6.24-20 [09:09] (On an Eee 900) At http://www.array.org/ubuntu/setup.html it advises against installing to a machine already with Hardy. Why? [09:09] does that mean that xorg is left to figure out the rest? [09:09] crdlb: I was going to say... [09:09] Whats a good FTP client for Ubuntu/ [09:09] DocMabuse: okey ? [09:10] excelblue: What's your linux distro ? [09:10] ActionParsnip, thought it would have been naitive to the OS or in the regular repos [09:10] puh [09:10] only the esc button [09:10] can i give administrative aceess like (add/remove programs) to my new user? [09:10] GamingX: Places->Connect to server ... filezilla ... $ ftp [09:10] ok i try [09:10] debCarlos: ArchLinux [09:10] dooglus, gconftool-2 --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop --type bool 0 [09:10] be back soon [09:10] crdlb: not drawing the desktop at all is good enough. out of interest, how would I get it to draw ~ instead? [09:10] yeah - videocard is Intel X4500HD [09:11] somedrew: thanks. crdlb beat you to it :) [09:11] supposedly, the driver to use is "intel" [09:11] TrustNoOne: "rtegular repos" dont exist. only the stock ones are given but yu can use any repos you wish [09:11] but I've been having some serious stability issues with it [09:11] dooglus, you can play around /apps/nautilus/ to try and show vols, etc without ~/Desktop.... [09:11] dooglus: desktop_is_home_dir in the same folder or something close to that [09:11] excelblue: oh :), never tested it, does it use apt/dpkg ? [09:11] and the fonts don't display [09:11] dooglus, oh noes, oh well [09:11] amanulla, yes - thats doeable.. and no - i dont rember how off hand. [09:11] amanulla, system->administration->users and groups [09:11] debCarlos: no - it uses its own minimalist system called pacman [09:11] PACMAN!?!? [09:11] lol [09:11] PACMAN! [09:11] portablejim: not sure, you could try it to find out. you may have to reinstall though [09:11] crdlb: desktop_is_home_dir - right [09:11] no kidding - it's called pacman :) [09:12] one would expect a nice game to pop up [09:12] package manager. sigh [09:12] yeah [09:12] I'd called it pkgmgr [09:12] wickedpuppy:then? [09:12] SuperUberElitePackageManagementStem.tool [09:13] probably avoiding confusion with slackware excelblue [09:13] amanulla, unlock it so you can use it as administrator .. then ... administrate [09:13] slackware now has pkgmgr? hmm... [09:13] excelblue, pkgtool [09:13] always thought it had pkginstall and pkgdeinstall [09:13] it has had one for a while [09:13] and of course, pkgtool :) [09:13] yeah, I know it was that, but nothing specifically called pkgmgr [09:14] yeah, not to my knowledge [09:14] DocMabuse: what happened ? [09:14] but pkgtool vs pkgmgr would be easy to mix up [09:14] nothing [09:14] ushimitsudoki, ninjakitty, looks OK to me [09:14] i don understand [09:14] wickedpuppy:ohhhhh here is an unknown user named "sabayayon user" who is he? [09:14] DocMabuse, okey [09:14] ninjakitty, did you try both usb ports? [09:14] got to go.. bye [09:14] i try esc but nocthing [09:14] ninjakitty, it could be the physical connector is broken [09:14] amanulla, thats your machine how should i know dude ? :P === nostferka^ is now known as nostferka [09:15] does anyone know how to make AWN only show the launchers instead of the tasks as well? [09:15] i cant change the kernel [09:15] ok [09:15] i think he may be a hacker? [09:15] waan: hold on checking her boot options. i bet she will have to experiment with apif=off / apic and so on [09:15] amanulla: are you using ubuntu? or sabayon linux? [09:15] DocMabuse: change the default in menu.lst [09:15] amanulla, you can always delete it you know ... [09:15] amanulla: what makes you think that ? [09:15] chubs_:ubuntu 8 [09:15] where is it? [09:16] ushimitsudoki, maybe i have no idea how that works [09:16] who is i [09:16] debCarlos:here there are 3 known to me 2 my accounts , 1 root [09:16] DocMabuse: gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [09:16] i dont know the 4 [09:17] user [09:17] I have a really old game controller. I is pretty much a super netendo controller that plugs in to the game port. Can I get Ubuntu to support it? [09:17] amanulla, you mean you don't know the 4th user ? [09:17] amanulla: oh, but.... hacker or cracker ? [09:17] ok opened it [09:17] and now [09:17] xess, maybe. [09:17] ? [09:17] debCarlos, doubt a cracker would install anything on the machine [09:18] TrustNoOne: yeah... [09:18] ubuntu NAT [09:18] he is in home directory /var/run/sabayon-admin [09:18] who may be he? [09:18] chubs_: Any idea where to start? For instance how do I get ubuntu to see it is there. [09:18] ? [09:18] what is a NAT error? [09:19] xess, start by finding out what the controller is. Is it 'pretty much' a snes controller? or is it a snes controller? for example [09:19] apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name [09:19] anyone got some hints or a link? [09:19] does anyone in here use azerius ? [09:20] azureus*** [09:20] The controler has a 9 buttons. I just ubuntu to register when one is pushed kind like a extra key on the key board. [09:20] dstrbdfrk, most would use transmission or rotrrent [09:20] dstrbdfrk, rtorrent* [09:20] I will find a picture. [09:20] does anyone know offhand how to mix say a 1080p camcorder recording i've made (about 5GB, AVI) - down to a respectable quality/file size? (Aiming for about 700MB, it's only an hour long) [09:20] +1 rtorrent [09:21] probably mencoder i would think? [09:21] ktorrent [09:21] ftw [09:21] favro, me too although rtorrent doesnt have dht support yet [09:21] ph8, convert it with ffmpeg [09:21] donkeyofdarkness, ktorrent is different from rtorrent and rtorrent has more use in places where you run a torrent client on a machine without a screen [09:22] airtonix: I thought it does - tried in #rtorrent? [09:22] ktorrent does have a web interface now. :) but i have rarely used that feature [09:22] HMM! [09:22] I use the webinterface from my cell phone [09:22] What key is EOF ? [09:22] favro, it does in the source with a patch applied but its touchy, the ones in the repos dont [09:22] Hello [09:22] donkeyofdarkness: Thanks, got any links? i'm having trouble on google [09:22] k :) [09:22] hi [09:23] ffmpeg is in the repo [09:23] try running "man ffmpeg" [09:23] for a list of options [09:23] following this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=812381 i've been able to compile vpnc with openssl support, but there's an error message when running it [09:23] sh: /etc/vpnc/vpnc-script: not found [09:23] dr_willis, but you still need to have a desktop enviroment in memory before ktorrent will run [09:23] Hello, is there any version of Blood 1 for Ubuntu!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? [09:23] does anyone know how to make AWN only show the launchers instead of the tasks as well? [09:23] chubs_: This is it exactly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravis_PC_GamePad I found one that had never been opened for free. I have to make it work. [09:23] but running dpkg -L vpnc i can see the file.. how can i fix this? thx [09:23] guys, inkscape window does not fit in my screen, what i can do ? [09:23] What key is EOF ? [09:24] resize the window [09:24] I need it for wall [09:24] aaroncampbell: hello [09:24] airtonix, vnc can supply that.. but to each their own. depends on what you want. [09:24] dr_willis, advantage of rTorrent is that its interface is based on nCurses [09:24] alt + click will let you drag it [09:24] don't work resize [09:24] debCarlos ctrl+d [09:24] debCarlos, ctrl+d [09:24] <_empa_> my cruzer micro 160gb is formatted fat32. while copying a 500mb from ubuntu, it goes extreme fast the first 300mb, then it drops from 22 mbs to 2.1 mbs... [09:24] <_empa_> anyone have any idea? [09:24] don't work alt+mouse [09:24] thanks c_lisp magnetron :) [09:24] dr_willis, when you running torrents for seed, you want as much cpu dedicated for it [09:25] dr_willis, specially if your torrent machine is a 800mhz pentium 2 [09:25] airtonix, looks like your decisions have been made. :) have fun [09:25] _empa_: corrupted filesystem ? [09:25] Is there version of GAME called Blood, for UBUNTU!?*!??!?!?!?!? [09:26] Blood, the first DOS version!?!?!?!? [09:26] How can you start xchat up without having to join one of the pre-listed servers already, but still have that option? [09:27] any super violent game for linux (already have openarena/aliearena/nexuis) ? [09:27] TrustNoOne, you see the channels xchat will auto join when you edit the server [09:27] rastafarix, You have used up your quota of ? and ! for the year.. [09:27] rastafarix, go use dosbox to play old dos games. [09:27] TrustNoOne, in the network list [09:27] Is dosbox compatible with ubuntu?

[09:48] Hi! I need help with my nvidia graphics card (Nvidia GeForce 7400). Before I installed Vista and updated my RAM from 1GB to 3GB, everything works fine with ubuntu 8.04. Now I cannot get the nvidia driver running again. Here's my xorg.conf http://rafb.net/p/QeAG1C38.html and here ist my dmesg output http://rafb.net/p/f3jhiG20.html [09:49] I use a laptop and have an external LCD monitor. when I connect laptop to the LCD, the logon screen becomes black. how can I make it come back? [09:49] pjotr: damn :(.. lucky I still have an iMac.. at least I can watch on that... [09:49] Here's my /var/log/Xorg.0.log http://rafb.net/p/WSVx8R14.html [09:49] My Graphics card shares up to 256MB of memory with the RAM. Can it be that it has problems allocating the RAM because of my update from 1GB to 3GB? [09:49] Shall I try using the Nvidia Driver directly from Nvidia? [09:49] The audio plays, but I get an error while converting it to mp3 and the converted files are a couple of seconds and they just seem to contain noise. [09:49] kw1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:49] kwl [09:49] the problem is not your ram [09:49] kw1: have you installed the nvidia drivers? [09:49] i am fine [09:49] the cause is the infection of the system with microsoft windows fista [09:49] GamingX: do you have an mp3 codec? [09:49] ActionParsnip, yes [09:50] !nvidia | kw1 [09:50] kw1: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [09:50] !envyng | kw1 [09:50] kw1: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [09:50] ActionParsnip: Yes, I installed the ubuntu restricted extras package. [09:50] fista fisted ubuntu [09:50] GamingX: so you are converting wav to mp3 and the mp3s are useless? [09:50] ActionParsnip: Is Unetbooting a good alternative to USB-installation? [09:50] ActionParsnip: Yes [09:50] wachtmeister: ive never done either [09:51] ActionParsnip: I have to harddrives on my lap top [09:51] ok [09:51] GamingX: theres a program called soundconverter [09:51] gnash not work [09:51] !soundconverter [09:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about soundconverter [09:51] ActionParsnip: The files are recordings and the extension is in caps ".WAV" , not the usual ".wav", which seem to convert fine [09:51] hmm... I wonder if it is possible to extract the stream url somehow and play it through VLC or movie player maybe.... would that get around the stupid windows media plugin? but how to get the link.... [09:52] stylist[obsd], Windows generally doesn't do clever things like rewriting the xorg.config. Typically it just trashes the MBR (or on a good day, whole Linux partition) and completely destroys your ability to even remotely start Linux [09:52] GamingX: then rename all .wav to .WAV before converting [09:52] anyone here tried Unetbooting? Is it a stable and reliable way of installing i.e. Ubuntu on a secondary hard-drive on my HP Pavilion ? :)) [09:52] ActionParsnip: I'll try [09:52] wachtmeister, tryign it now.. its taking some time to do its work however.. [09:52] zcat[1], fista also set special driver modes in the nvidia hardware to fuck with linux ;-) [09:53] wachtmeister, ask again in an hr or so. :) [09:53] ActionParsnip: I installed nvidia-glx-new-envy now [09:53] stylist[obsd], Hmmm.. I didn't think that would survive a reboot though [09:53] dr_willis: hr ? [09:53] wachtmeister, ready to boot the other machine with it and see if it works [09:53] kw1: if you install envyng-gtk then run it with gksu it'll sort it for you [09:53] zcat[1], plenty of hardware settings in the nvidia card stay there forever, such as when you overclock its clock speed [09:53] stylist[obsd], Got any URL references for that I can read up on?

[09:56] K3rl0u4rn, then it looks like thunar and nautilus are both trying to auto-mount the cdrom - which explains your error [09:56] GamingX: sweet === ewwe is now known as OfLife [09:57] K3rl0u4rn, if you don't use nautilus primarily, you could get it to stop automounting devices [09:57] unop: but it did not yesterday and the days before :) [09:57] unop: right, how do I do that ? [09:57] GamingX: for mass conversion id suggest ffmpeg [09:57] GamingX: which im guessing soundcoverter is just a gui for [09:57] awesome. does that mean i have to re install as i have tried to create a new account and it has the same problem [09:58] K3rl0u4rn, errm, not sure as i don't use nautilus - but i would open up the gconf-editor and look under apps > nautilus [09:58] ActionParsnip: Methinks so too.

[10:16] Sara22: is this a laptop? [10:16] wachtmeister, just getting a white screen/boot menu when i boot the thing in the laptop. Not sure if its a laptop issue.. or somthing else.. trying a diffferent disrtop on it [10:16] ActionParsnip: yes [10:16] and I am so very new to ubuntu and linux [10:17] seij0: ive never setup auido in, have you tried audacity [10:17] Sara22: no problem, what laptop make and model? [10:17] it is gateway t1628 [10:17] oh, its a usb wifi isnt it [10:17] ActionParsnip: yes [10:17] wachtmeister, puppylinux seems to work with it [10:18] ActionParsnip: the wine iexplorer thingy has shown me a link to a legacy video player.... maybe that would work in ubuntu? I can't seem to copy the url though and there is no URL address bar at the top... how do I get a URL address bar in wine's iexplorer? [10:18] Sara22: what make and model is the usb wifi [10:18] nice :) [10:18] CorpseFeeder: thats why you give it a url at runtime [10:18] ill just give it a try :) [10:18] hi all [10:18] CorpseFeeder: ive only looked at it, ive never used it. I believe you can install IE under wine [10:18] magnetron: Any suggestions? [10:19] ActionParsnip: no I haven't.. i'll play with that [10:19] dr_willis: thx man [10:19] ActionParsnip: i am not sure but I think its realteck 8189 [10:19] Sara22: awesome [10:19] jhaig, no, sorry, i thought you had another setup [10:20] dr_willis: btw, is there any difference between ubuntu 8.04_Live and LTS ? [10:20] LTS = long term support. Live is the live cd.. vs the ALternative installer cd. [10:21] Both are 'lts' canidates [10:21] Sara22: you can use https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b [10:21] Sara22: or ndiswrapper + the xp driver [10:21] <_2> is there any app that can resolve a dependancy issue by removing rather than installing ??? [10:21] _2: if a program needs a dependancy, why would it remove anything? [10:22] thx ActionParsnip i am gonna give it a try. Pretty new to this so i dont know if I can do it :) [10:22] <_2> i would like to do something like apt-get remove -f and have it remove everything that has unmet deps [10:22] Sara22: read slow, its not too hard [10:22] k [10:22] thx again [10:22] jhaig: I wrote a script a few months back to listen to BBC radio. I'll see if I can find it [10:22] _2: sudo apt-get autoremove will remove orphaned apps [10:22] _2: this may break something, but doesnt apt-get autoremove do that? [10:23] <_2> ActionParsnip because remove is prefered over install on dialup. [10:23] <_2> jussi01 no. it just says run apt-get install -f [10:23] can anyone suggest why my network connection drops repeatedly? I've switchedNICS, cables, and switches, but none of it has seemed to help. [10:23] _2: then do so [10:23] morning:d [10:23] hi st3ph [10:24] <_2> ActionParsnip no. i don't want to dl and install crap. i just want to remove all the dependant crap.

[10:25] dooglus: Thanks, but I really need something easy to use. It is not for me - I would be happy running a script like that.

[10:27] _2: cant you redownload the python package you remove and try slot it in again [10:28] _2: or use the one off the install media [10:28] <_2> i'll do something to it.....

I can't work out any way to install IE in wine :( [10:36] tobiassjosten: you just need to change access for the group or owner [10:37] ActionParsnip, well, then I guess I have to install nvidia driver myself [10:37] ActionParsnip, it's so stupid [10:38] amarok is not a radio, just need a web radio program [10:39] kwk: you just arent doing the right thing [10:39] router did a complete reset, ubuntu was using static IP - now it cant ping outside the LAN.

I'll check it out, thanks. [10:39] maybe I should call ubuntu support, heh [10:39] i used the nvidia x server and it works great [10:40] apaches_tear: the nvidia x server? You mean the nvidia driver? [10:40] and also envyNG works great too, just when streaming vids remeber to shut off GPU scaling [10:40] hi. how was this done? http://www.flickr.com/photos/73617363@N00/2566215270/sizes/l/ [10:40] two deskbars in one [10:40] like windows bar [10:40] taskbar [10:40] is there a way to convert the filesystem without losing and data? (ext3 to fat or ntfs?) [10:40] butnuu: Where do you see two? [10:41] hey [10:41] Flannel, that's the prob. it's two in one :) [10:41] kwk: the program nvidea x server settings, you can get it from you app downloader [10:41] adakos: not that i know of, just run your backup then format, then restore data [10:41] Flannel, do you know how to do that? [10:41] butnuu: Just add a launcher to the bottom one. Or move the open window list-ything to the top [10:41] actionparsnip: i have 2 TB of data, there's no way i can back this all up [10:42] LOL [10:42] adakos: so what if the hard drive fails [10:42] adakos: buy a drobo :D [10:42] adakos: where is your data then? [10:42] hello, I am here++++ [10:42] apaches_tear and ActionParsnip: After updating my RAM from 1GB to 2GB ubuntu and nvidia and Vista and nvidia worked fine. But after pluggin in another 1GB of RAM (make 3GB) only vista is doing it's job [10:42] pretty much fucked i suppose *shrug* we are working on getting a backup solution online [10:42] adakos: Please watch your language. How much capacity do you have? [10:43] i would, 2Tb is a lot to lose, yu cant convert between without formatiing to convert and that destroys data [10:43] flannel ~ 2 TB used of 2.5 TB [10:43] however, my storage is of little concern at the moment, i know its silly not to have backups in place, and we are working on it [10:43] adakos: Well, technically that's doable, but not pretty. (shrink, create, copy, shrink, etc) [10:44] Flannel, but wouldn't that be two bars? [10:44] the real problem is that the computer lost connection to the internet [10:44] Flannel, that user combined the default top bar with the open-windows bar [10:44] and I can't seem to get it back up... all my usual tricks are failing, however the LAN / ssh still works... my mind is boggled [10:44] butnuu: No, you can remove the menu bars. Just delete the top one, then add its stuff to the bottom. [10:45] hence the reason I popped in this morning [10:45] <_Arsenal_> hai [10:45] adakos: can you ping stuff? [10:45] <_Arsenal_> loan chadl lakilm lak lackn ladng [10:45] adakos: either by name or ip [10:46] adakos: you could just copy all the data onto a spare drive, reformat, then copy it back [10:46] Flannel, ah got it. thanks [10:46] adakos: drives are pretty cheap these days [10:46] ActionParsnip: i can't ping outside the network [10:46] !ru | _Arsenal_ [10:46] _Arsenal_: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [10:46] adakos: to the www?

[10:47] adakos: then administer you gateway to see why its not reaching out [10:47] !away > st3ph [10:47] st3ph, please see my private message [10:47] ActionParsnip: It's not that.

[10:54] ActionParsnip: the problem is the gateway should be 192.168.10.1 [10:54] ActionParsnip : (pretty sure, at least) [10:55] is my ISP blocking requests to my port 80? [10:55] Ы [10:55] adakos: you could add a line in /etc/network/interfaces just under eth0 to say gateway x.y.z.a [10:56] adakos: if you add that line, the dcp will set the settings but the gateway will be set by the file, overding the dhcp info [10:56] adakos: id check on another system just to be sure [10:56] ActionParsnip: i've got gateway in there already set to the correct number , heh [10:57] oh so you are using static ip?

I just reformatted my system, and re-installed it, ran the updates again, and come up with the same problem, Don't have GTK2 controls, all seem to be GTK1 Controls. [11:22] Anyone have any clue as to why this is happening? [11:22] i can't find in the docs how to add the option to fully 'delete' files rather than 'move to trash' on the desktop. could someone point me to the right direction or remind me how to do this plz. [11:22] hi. has nm changed in hardy? my mate is in a remote area and is trying to get dialup working. There is no modem option on connection tab but modem is definately detected as wvdial picks it up [11:22] marybuntu, shift+delete [11:22] marybuntu: shift+delete is one option . there is a gui option in nautilus too i think [11:23] linux mint implements delete and move to trash in the right click menus, not sure how though [11:23] bob1: ok now run the long command i gave you but substitute the word green with the word newdrive (use up arrow to scroll through the old commands) [11:23] <_2> Waistless kde does too [11:24] mint uses gnome :P [11:24] well mine does ;) [11:24] ushimitsudoki: when you say shift/delete, shift/delete and how do you point to the file you want deleted? [11:24] marybuntu: hold shift, right click file to be deleted, click dlete [11:24] marybuntu: you highlight the file by clicking on it once. then hold the shift key, then press the delete key [11:24] <_2> marybuntu drag a box around it ? [11:24] click it once and shift + delete [11:25] aaaaaahhhhh, k [11:26] but i do want to add the 'delete' to the menu, this is mom's box, will just make things easier for her; anybody know how to enable the gui delete option? [11:26] ActionParsnip: I seem to be stuck in the nautilus. How do I quit that? [11:26] marybuntu: in nautilus i think the option is under edit/preferences to bypass delete (i'm not runnin nautilus so this is from memory) [11:27] Can anybody tell me what the GCJ Web Browser Plugin (Using IcedTea) is? [11:27] marybuntu: there are some guides on the web if you want to do somehting like add a right click option to either "Send to trash" or "Really Delete", if you want to go that route [11:27] marybuntu: you could also add the trash can to the panel and explain that - so there are some options [11:28] hi [11:28] whats up [11:28] yes, yes, yes ... i'm sure thats where i found it b4 by axident, but i don't know where or how to search for it, the Reallly Delete' i mean [11:28] bob1: close it [11:30] hi does anybody know if the nforce 610i is supported now? [11:30] !hcl | hagen [11:30] hagen: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [11:30] thx [11:31] hi everyone. Is there a program in Ubuntu similar to Total Commander in XP? [11:31] ActionParsnip: special device /dev/hdb1 does not exist [11:31] i have a question i did ctrl+alt+f1 sudo su and try to install NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-173.14.12-pkg2.run it keeps trying me im in xserver it will not install [11:31] bob1: run sudo fdisk -l to get the right /dev [11:31] vadim, try 'mc' for a nortions comander like app. thers other 2 pane file managers also. gentoo, worker, and proberly a dozen others [11:32] lacy: you need to kill the X server [11:32] vadim: whats total commander do? [11:32] sudo su killall? [11:32] you should logout, and then from the text terminal kill the gdm process [11:32] : it's a file manager with 2 panels [11:33] <_2> lacy killall gdm [11:33] vadim: dolphin does that [11:33] <_2> lacy shall i repost the staps ? [11:33] <_2> lacy ctrl+alt+f1 login and do a sudo killall gdm then sudo bash yourfile.run wen all through sudo gdm ;exit [11:33] lacy: id just reboot, easier [11:33] i think im good :) thanks Freddy2 and _2 [11:34] ActionParsnip: It came back w/ lots of stuff and I have no idea what it means [11:34] <_2> ActionParsnip easier at which step ?

[11:35] Andeh: wrong room dude [11:35] lol i know [11:35] !ot | Andeh [11:35] Andeh: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [11:37] Does Ubuntu know how to handle tar.gz files? What app can I use to uncompress? [11:37] corigo: file-roller [11:38] ActionParsnip: Is this it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/46574/ [11:39] eumario: non-default app? Nothing pre-installed? [11:39] corigo, or use the command line tools. [11:39] there is nothing said about the geforce 7050 and/or the 610i chipset [11:39] <_2> corigo tar [11:40] might there really be no chance to run linux on this maschine? [11:40] bob1: you put 1 (one) not l (ell) [11:40] ActionParsnip: OK I'll give it another go [11:40] <_2> corigo the fact that you are asking that question draws red flags. what do you have in a tarball anyway ? [11:40] hehe [11:41] hagen: could you describe the problem again for me? [11:41] ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/46575/ [11:42] <_2> corigo ? [11:42] i have bought a core2quad system with abit-board, with nforce 610i chipset [11:42] orly? [11:43] i don't get the lan or the ide detected [11:43] bob1: well you can see all the partitions you have there, eg. sda1, sda2....sda6 and sdb1 to 3 [11:43] bob1: if you run mount you can see whats already mounted [11:44] bob1: then you simply mount a dev to /media/newfolder (or whatever you called it) [11:44] hagen: very new hardware is sometimes poorly supported. That's because many manufacturers still aren't going out of their way to support the developers of drivers for free systems. [11:45] buy intel [11:45] soundray i know but the chipset was published last year september or so [11:45] hagen: what I would suggest is to download a pre-release version of Ubuntu ("intrepid") and see (in the live CD environment) whether the new kernel that comes with it supports your machine "out of the box" [11:45] donkeyofdarkness, that is not helpful. [11:45] :( [11:45] is there an argument in ifconfig i can send to see the adress to my dns and gateway? [11:45] ActioonParsnip: ARe you saying that the /dev/sdb1 is the new drive? [11:45] donkeyofdarkness, take chat elsewhere. [11:46] yeah i will try the unstables now... thanks... [11:46] hagen: that way you'll know whether by next month you can have an installation that just works. [11:46] bob1: sdb is the physical drive, sdb1 is the first partition [11:46] hagen: there's an extra channel for discussing intrepid: #ubuntu+1 [11:46] bob1: youlll have to see where / is mounted to to see which drive its on === Tizz is now known as Tizz_ [11:48] ActionParsnip: OK hang on. Looking at this I thought that sda1 thru 6 was the first HD that is Duel booted w/windows. sdb1 theu 5 would be the second drive....No? [11:48] can i install the theme which is for 8.10 alpha 5 [11:49] in 8,04 [11:49] Dabbu, depends on what its for.. if its a gnome theme.. most likely yes. [11:49] dr_willis:so where can i get that theme? [11:50] <|thunder> mplayer is complaining that i need "/usr/lib/win32/avisynth.dll" to play an streaming asx. is there a package for this ? or do i just take it from an xp install and copy it to that location ? [11:50] Dabbu, check gnome-look.org perhaps.. I dont worry too much about themes. I thought you had allready found it :) heh... [11:50] bob1: depends where the drives are connected but running mount on its own will tell yuo where / is mounted which will indicate the initial drive [11:51] how to see ports and sockets?

[12:04] no soundray [12:04] mysterycool, time to read some bash beginner guides. so you can learn to make bash scripts [12:05] where do you find the nividia packages from ? [12:05] lacy: it doesn't work with each and every card, but when it does, it's much better than installing a .run binary [12:05] lacy: System-Administration-Hardware Drivers [12:06] #compiz [12:06] No proprietary drivers are in use on this system [12:07] hi [12:07] lacy: is there anything listed under "Component" that you can enable? [12:07] 这个聊天软件很奇怪阿 [12:07] dong: is that Chinese? [12:08] !cn | dong [12:08] dong: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [12:08] there is nothing at all under that component [12:08] can i have some help [12:08] yes ,I am chinese [12:08] what [12:08] are you using xbuntu? [12:08] yes [12:08] just one day [12:09] ok my screen size is 1024x800 but Ubuntu is displaying in 800x600 [12:09] soundray is there another place i can download Nvidia packages from ? [12:09] weatherkid: run 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' and configure your display [12:09] Have you installed the proper driver sfor yoru video card yet weatherkid ? [12:09] you may change it. [12:09] configure your display [12:10] lacy, has anyone mentioned the program EnvyNG to you yet? [12:10] nope [12:10] im new to linux [12:10] what is the best way to share files betwwen two ubuntu machines? [12:10] I have tryed screen res. and I've changed my zorg.conf file [12:10] lacy, for that card. You proberly just need to run the hardware drivers tool, or manually install the 'nvidia-glx-new' package [12:10] lacy: you could try installing 'nvidia-glx-new' through a package manager, but I don't know if it'll work -- it's strange that your graphics card isn't listed under "Component" [12:10] and the zorg.conf is correct [12:10] lacy, it's a driver install for your specific card and architecture that installs proprietary drivers for you automatically [12:10] windmill, fast way - use ssh. [12:10] windmill, long term way - set up nfs shares. [12:11] !envyng [12:11] 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 [12:11] is it because my cards are new ? [12:11] lacy: dr_willis's suggestion is good, and if that doesn't do it, try alkaliv2'2 [12:11] alkaliv2's [12:12] ok i will try [12:12] a 9600 - Hmm.. Not sure if the nvidia-glx-new supports that one or not. the versionsin the repos tend to be a little out of date [12:12] dr_willis, I've had a look at nfs and it look very insecure, It seems to determine access by ip address or hostname, which is a massive security problem [12:12] dr_willis, is there a way to secure nfs? [12:12] windmill: use a VPN [12:12] hi, I have a question about php, can anyone answer ? [12:12] lacy, make sure if you use envyng you haven't used the .run packages from the nvidia site beforehand. If you have it needs to be uninstalled [12:12] windmill, research it some more perhaps.. or just use ssh/sshfs. I dont do much with nfs other then use it on my local lan.. so its not an issue to me about being accesed by ip or not. [12:13] windmill: NFS is intended to be used in a setting where *you* control the IPs [12:13] windmill, nfs will be faster then sshfs, or samba/smb I beluve - by a large margin [12:13] weatherkid: have you tried 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' [12:13] ? [12:13] dr_willis: actually NFS is about even with CIFS [12:13] no it wouldnt even install [12:13] lacy, the .run file or envyng? [12:13] Chousuke, it sure seemes a lot faster when i was tossing around these 4+gb image files last week... [12:14] the only benefit of NFS really is that it's *dead simple* to set up. [12:14] alkaliv2 can i message you [12:14] lacy, sure === martyn is now known as Guest72588 [12:14] Chousuke, of course could be windows box was the slow poke. :) [12:14] Chousuke, I suppose I do control IP addesses on the local network, it still seems like a poor security model [12:14] Hi guy what is the easyist way to add ubuntu server fetures to my ubuntu desktop setup [12:14] windmill: it's not a security model [12:14] windmill: NFS is not intended to be secure. [12:14] Guest72588, what server features? just install the service you want. [12:14] !lamp | Guest72588 [12:14] Guest72588: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [12:15] windmill: if you want to secure it, you can use a VPN [12:15] I have a serious problem with my system boot. I changed my pc's case and I tried to start it but it seemed like there wasnt any graphic card (the monitor said that there wasnt input signal) but after 2 minutes it started.

(And no, there's no such switch on my laptop :-/ ) [12:18] rampageoberon: its probably a pulse-audio issue. [12:18] windmill: it's adequate in a local network. [12:18] when I put an external hard disk, ubuntu automatically opens all the drives on it. How can i disable that? [12:19] IndyGunFreak: how can i resolve it?

[12:19] okay trying now, thanks :) [12:19] Chousuke, I'm probably beeing paranoid but if you have one machine on the local network that becomes compromised then all the security goes down the toilet [12:20] IndyGunFreak: It needs a firefoxc restart? [12:20] soundray: biggest problem i had w/ libflash, is if i played another sound(like an mp3), it would cut off a flash video, or sounds from Pidgin, etc.. anything simultaneous. [12:21] Chousuke, I think I might give sshfs a go [12:21] sshfs is a hack though. [12:22] I have the ubuntu alternate installer, and have a 50GB windows partition and 50GB free space; I want to create a encrypted lvm volume in the free space, but don't delete the windows partition [12:22] how to do that? [12:23] IndyGunFreak: pulseaudio is not fully mature yet, so disabling is of course an option that should be kept in mind [12:23] soundray: the libflashsupport fixed things, thanks :) [12:23] theclaw: the lvm tool should show the free space as just free space [12:23] Does anybody know how to disable the RF kill switch when there's no such switch on my laptop? [12:23] Chousuke, it seems like there is currently no good solution to share files between two computers over a network which is crazy [12:23] soundray: thats been my feeling on it.. tis a good idea, but probably wasn't ready for hardy. [12:23] windmill: there are two good solutions [12:23] windmill: NFS is a good solution [12:23] windmill: sshfs is pretty good (even if it's a hack) and safe. [12:23] windmill: and so is CIFS [12:23] rampageoberon: glad it worked, thanks for letting me know. Can you try to reproduce IndyGunFreak's problem ^^ ? [12:24] prot1: check bios settings! [12:24] there are several networked filesystems in development, too :/ [12:24] There's no switch in the BIOS either [12:24] Chousuke: hmm [12:24] I have a serious problem with my system boot.

[12:25] prot1: #ubuntu+1 for intrepid help [12:25] The strange this is, the card actually works for like 10 seconds when booting up, but gets disabled (due to the RF kill switch) [12:26] soundray: No actually someone just logged in now and the sound was fine with an mp3 playing and flash video on too [12:26] hi. the power manager on ubuntu is not wokrng fine [12:26] k, thanks [12:26] Chousuke: I don't quite understand, how do I get to the LVM tool? [12:26] Chousuke, with NFS if someone gets control of one of the machines on your network what's to stop then changing the IP and getting access to any nfs share intended for any other computer on the network?

[12:31] how do I manually create an "lvm volume" with the alterante installer? [12:31] * maniheer wonders if fx-82 has ever tried ubuntu [12:31] okaz, [12:31] foudn it [12:32] soundray: women too? [12:33] jrib: what do you mean as any user? can you give me an example? [12:33] ok back [12:33] kR5_Chris: your main user [12:33] lacy, how did it work for you? [12:33] how do i know if it installed [12:33] jrib: I logged in with my username and my password [12:34] jrib: I did it [12:34] kR5_Chris: ok. I assume you are on a different computer right? [12:34] jrib: I am sending from my laptop [12:34] lol well you can see us and you're in ubuntu. Kidding, in a console type sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:35] kR5_Chris: now run 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start'. What happens? [12:35] !gksudo | alkaliv2 [12:35] alkaliv2: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [12:35] lacy, then look for an option that says driver and make sure it says "nvidia" [12:35] erUSUL, what does she need gksudo for? [12:35] why did they fork debian anyhow? [12:36] alkaliv2: gediot is a graphical app you should run it with gksudo [12:36] fx-82AU_PLUS: we like to keep this channel dedicated to ubuntu support only since it is so busy. Mind moving your discussion over to #ubuntu-offtopic? [12:36] erUSUL, my mistake, I've never used it that way [12:36] If I enable access control using xhost and run say vlc with another user then when i insert a blank disc in the drive the application will crash with segmentation fault. Any ideas? [12:36] good news it worked ! [12:36] jrib: It is asking for my password, I gave it and t says "*Starting GNOME Display Manager..." [12:36] kR5_Chris: so no errors? [12:36] lacy, congratulations you are now using ubuntu with 3d acceleration [12:37] jrib: no errors [12:37] i do not know [12:37] kR5_Chris: hit ctrl-alt-f7 [12:37] Is Wall-Light going to be the Ubuntu Intrepid theme? [12:37] So, who needs help [12:37] lacy, if it worked you have 3d acceleration and proprietary nvidia drivers installed successfully so you're good to go [12:38] wow, Linux/Ubuntu is SO much better than this M$ crap... [12:38] LetsGo67» you mean that ugly metacity theme? [12:38] kahrytan, ugly? [12:38] kahrytan: i do - If I enable access control using xhost and run say vlc with another user then when i insert a blank disc in the drive the application will crash with segmentation fault. Any ideas? [12:38] brb [12:38] jrib: I did it and a black background appears with a prompt like this "_" [12:38] It does look pretty neat so far... maybe a few tweaks here and there. [12:39] Hello I have a nasty little problem here [12:39] LetsGo67» like here, (http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-8-10-Alpha-4-Screenshot-Tour-91907.shtml) [12:39] what package contains glx-gears? is it mesa-utils? [12:39] kR5_Chris: did the 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start' command return you to prompt where you can type commands again? [12:39] kahrytan, the links dead [12:39] alkaliv2: yes [12:39] maniheer» nope. [12:40] I was running a program in wine & when it crashed it killed my (USB)Mouse & all of my other USB so that they don't even get power, Now what can I do in terminal to get my mouse activated again? [12:40] LetsGo67: is wall-light even a theme? thought it was a mock up [12:40] The theme's not in the screenshots. Notwist, yeah, it's a mockup. [12:40] jrib, thanks. I did a manual ubuntu install so I wanted to get the package name right [12:40] LetsGo67» wrong one, http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-8-10-Alpha-5-Screenshot-Tour-93089.shtml [12:41] jrib: when I typed the command to start the GDM it said that the GDM started ut nothing happened and after this I hit Ctrl-Alt-F7 and the black background appeared [12:41] Please even if you don't know how to help, any suggestion would be nice, but don't ask me to pastebin anything as I cannot do that without a mouse. [12:41] LetsGo67: afaik there are a lot of things in the mock up that aren't possible for real. Why wont the guy make a real theme instead? [12:41] LetsGo67» you should goto #ubuntu+1 to discuss Intrepid though. i'm there [12:41] holyguyver_: what kind fo mouse? [12:41] kR5_Chris: hit ctrl-alt-f1. What is the last line? Is it a command prompt with the "starting GDM" message above it? [12:41] USB I already told you [12:41] and you can still pastebin w/o a mouse. [12:41] holyguyver_, did you restart X at all? [12:41] i wonder if i should install windows on my intel pc or just leave it with xubuntu? [12:42] im just bored [12:42] holyguyver_: ok, guess i missed it, ask someone else [12:42] Alk, how without a mouse? [12:42] holyguyver_, hit ctrl+alt+backspace [12:42] rampageoberon» sorry. over my head. [12:42] If you are wondering how I opened irc I did it using alt f2 [12:42] kahrytan: thanks, its quite a strange problem [12:42] hi [12:43] alkaliv2, but I do not want to restart my system as there are things I need to save. [12:43] how can i configure a connection to a private sock? [12:43] hi [12:43] so there isn't any possibility to install ubuntu/windows on the same machine, and encrypt the ubuntu partition? [12:43] holyguyver_: sudo modprobe -r ehci-hcd && sudo modprobe ehci-hcd [12:43] I only see the option "encrypt full disk" [12:43] but how do I just "encrypt full ubuntu partition"? [12:43] holyguyver_, it's only going to restart the graphical server. Your mouse, keyboard, and monitor drivers [12:43] i cant enable nvidia driver. plz help? [12:43] jrib: yes [12:44] holyguyver_: or try with the other two usb drivers ... uhci-hcd and ohci-hcd [12:44] alkaliv2: i'm not sure how that changes the fact he said he has things heneeds to save [12:44] kR5_Chris: k, how about ctrl-alt-f8 and ctrl-alt-f9. See anything there? [12:44] why is everyone wanting to encrypt their ubuntu partition nowadays as if windows is more secure :? [12:44] Hi I need information about tv tuner on linux is there any # specialized in tv on linux ? [12:44] why doesn't he jus save them [12:45] Pirate_Hunter: if everyone jumped off a cliff, most people would think it would the smart thing to do... sheep menality [12:45] *mentality [12:45] erUSUL, that camand didn't do anything, & it killed all 6 of my USB [12:45] the crashed program killed the 6 usb [12:45] he didn't remove the modules he just crashed that portion of X [12:46] IndyGunFreak: I actually smirked at that it makes lots of sense [12:46] holyguyver_: they should have bring them up again (and hopefully the ones failing [12:46] Pirate_Hunter: lol, do i ever not make a lot of sense?.. :) [12:46] alkaliv2, but when it restarts those won't it turn off any programs I currently have open? [12:46] holyguyver_: basically it unloads and reload the usb driver [12:46] Well it didn't bring them up again [12:47] jrib: It says "*Checking battery state... [OK]" and "*Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [OK]" and prompt me again with the _. [12:47] holyguyver_, yes but the workaround for that is to bring the program you need to save into focus and tab until you can choose the option to save with your keyboard and arrow keys [12:47] alkaliv2, I don't know how to do that. [12:48] I don't even know how to close this window [12:48] kR5_Chris, hit enter a few times, or try alt-ctrl-f2 - either may get you to a 'login:' screen [12:48] holyguyver_, alt+tab to bring the program you want into focus [12:48] I know that [12:49] I don't know how to get to the file menu [12:49] kR5_Chris: go back to ctrl-alt-f1, then install the pastebinit package if you haven't yet (sudo apt-get install pastebinit) and run: sudo apt-get install pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log [12:49] <_FANTASY> :-) [12:49] kR5_Chris: hit alt-ctrl-f2, login and then run "finger" and check if its tty7 that you're logged into [12:49] kR5_Chris: oops. After you install pastebinit, just run: pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log [12:49] <_FANTASY> :-* [12:49] holyguyver_, then press tab until you highlight the file drop down menu and then press enter and use the arrow keys to navigate === RoflCoptrZZZ is now known as RoflCoptr [12:50] & what if when I go to save it's first offer is to a folder on my USB harddrive &* it says that it cannot find the folder, then how do I get to the folder for my home directory? [12:51] _FANTASY: whats up dude? [12:51] dr_willis: I hit Ctrl-Alt-f2 and it returned me to the login screen [12:51] holyguyver_, I'd hate to say you're running into a string of bad luck but you're going to want to just save it to your hard drive until you can activate your usb ports again [12:51] kR5_Chris: login and then run "finger" and check if its tty7 that you're logged into [12:51] kR5_Chris, it seems that X is not confgured properly. (having to fix my laptops X driver right now also) [12:51] alkaliv2, I know, I am asking how can I save it to my harddrive? [12:51] _FANTASY: whats up dude? [12:52] This Unetbootin Tool - is very handy. :) [12:52] holyguyver_, when you're in the save menu just tab around by using the enter key and arrows to navigate until you can save to your home folder [12:52] Alright now how do I in pidgin switch between tabs without a mouse? [12:52] jrib: It says "Error no filename specified!" and tells me about some arguments [12:52] kR5_Chris: what did you run? [12:53] hi all [12:53] holyguyver_, press tab until the tabs are highlighted and then move the arrow keys left or right and press enter [12:53] hey im setting ubuntu in a raid 0, should i put swap in the raid partitions or outside in diferent partitions in both disks? [12:53] holyguyver_: ctrl-PageUp might work too [12:53] jrib: I installed pastebinit and I gave the command "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" === xxxxxx is now known as Guest34087 [12:54] alkaliv2, when I press tab in Pidgin it makes a paraggraph indent [12:54] kR5_Chris: what does 'ls /var/log/Xorg.0.log' return? [12:54] Simple Question - is there any way to get ls to just display the files 1 per row, with no additional info besides their filename? (needed for input to another program) [12:54] zylche: you don't need to do anything, when you pipe it to the other program, it will work fine [12:54] zylche: "ls -1" (thats a one) [12:54] jrib: "No such file or directory" [12:55] hey im setting ubuntu in a raid 0, should i put swap in the raid partitions or outside in diferent partitions in both disks? [12:55] holyguyver_, I'm not sure how to navigate out of the typing area. give me a second and I'll use my pidgin to try it [12:55] !hi | Ghotlar [12:55] Ghotlar: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [12:55] rampageoberon: I am loggen in tty2 and tty1 [12:56] kR5_Chris: now run "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" [12:56] I wonder what tab will do when I try it in the notepad like text thing to save something in there. [12:57] holyguyver_: alt-LETTER gets you to the menus [12:57] Really isn't there some camand I could do to tell it to reactivate my USB ports? [12:57] jrib, you're a wise man [12:57] I honestly did not know that [12:57] jrib, that is great, but how do I get to a different tab? [12:57] thanks zoed, I couldn't find that in the manual :) [12:57] holyguyver_: ctrl-pageup [12:57] how do you install .bin files? [12:58] jrib, you are correct [12:58] holyguyver_: worst case, you can probably hit 'ctrl-shift-numlock' and use the numpad as a mouse [12:58] weatherkid, use the prefix "sh" [12:58] weatherkid: depends on the bin file..... what are you trying to install. [12:58] Puzzle Pirates for my son [12:58] jrib, I will indeed have to do the numlock mouse [12:58] Puzzle Pirates? [12:58] rampageoberon: I did it and Stopped and started again the GDM but nothing happened [12:59] I am having problems adding a printer to Ubuntu (8.04) using the System > Administration > Printing tool. I got the following message: CUPS server error: There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'server-error-internal-error'. I have tried running it with gksudo, to no avail [12:59] I learn more stuff from being on this channel than I do in class [12:59] Thank you I now have a numblock mouse [12:59] Puzzlepirates is fun. :) [12:59] kR5_Chris: and all you did since the last time it worked was switch the case your hardware was in? [12:59] jrib: yes [12:59] jrib, you truly are a genius, you know your way around mouseless Linux. [12:59] holyguyver_: haha [13:00] jrib, So now thanks to you I have a crippled mouse, but it is better then nothing [13:00] zylche: you're welcome [13:00] ciao a tutti [13:00] jrib, so what is left click on this new mouse & what is right click? [13:00] ho un piccolo problema [13:01] jrib: someone told me to give the command "update-initramfs -u" [13:01] holyguyver_: I forget. Try the keys around the numpad. I think + is left [13:01] Anyone know why when I update Ubuntu from a fresh install on my system, it suddenly locks out GTK2 Controls, and reverts to GTK1 controls, and why I can't get the system to change to any GTK2 Theme? [13:01] Yes plus is left [13:02] kR5_Chris: I don't think that will help [13:02] im sorry if im breakin rules or anythin i think is said to register or somethin but idk where [13:02] Thank you, now I can save both a txt document & about 10 IM chats [13:02] bl4ckh3r0: credo che se vuoi porre la domanda in italiano devi rivolgerti a #ubuntu-it [13:02] can anyone help me with that [13:03] a_l_e, grazie.. gia fatto! [13:03] mkesadaran: Registration on what? [13:03] idk i think it said u need to register for irc or watnot [13:03] Hello every body and a good morning to you all: Small problem i downloaded wicd to ubuntu because had problems with network manager: now wicd knows my built in wireless but not my plug in usb wirelessw does any one know how to add it to wicd, i have the correct drivers just dont know how to add it [13:03] This channel requires that you have registered and identified yourself with the network's nickname registration services (e.g. NickServ). Please see the documentation of this network's nickname registration services that should be found in the MOTD (/motd to display it). [13:03] typed the command but nothin showed up [13:03] mkesadaran, Ahh, yes, that is nickserv. Type /msg nickserv register === mrxmike is now known as mrxmike1 [13:03] Without the < > prompts [13:04] jrib: it didnt [13:04] uhm the password and email [13:04] u mean my ubuntu forums? [13:04] Then everytime you connect to the server, you /msg nickserv identfiy [13:04] mkesadaran, if you do a google search of registering your nickname on irc it will give you the steps to add the name you're using now to irc network [13:04] rampageoberon: any ideas for kR5_Chris? I was going to try startx now [13:04] oh ok [13:04] but u need a password? [13:04] mkesadaran: No, it's whatever you want. [13:05] u cant leave blank [13:05] No [13:05] mkesadaran, it's just like registering with the forums [13:05] You need to register, in order to be able to receive, and send Private messages on the IRC Server, it's Freenodes requirement. [13:05] oh ok [13:05] i registered [13:05] now do i have to reconnect? [13:06] holyguyver_: apparently /, *, and -, switch the behavior of + (between left, double, and right click). It's kind of confusing tbh [13:06] I have lost my gnome-panels... even after killall gnome-panels or system restart they won't come back... [13:06] mkesadaran, No, but whenever you do re-connect to the server, you will need to identify, which you can do by /msg nickserv identify [13:06] ok thank you [13:06] now can anyone help me with this problem [13:06] in raid0 a i have to set a /boot partition right? [13:06] And that will only work with the nickname you have now.

I have a C: and D: (recovery) partition. If I shrink C: and install Ubuntu, will that change the D: drive letter to somehting else? [13:15] mkesadaran, Okay, so your using your USB Stick, as a Boot device, as a Portable Linux, correct? [13:15] RickX: No [13:15] Marcus, sudo apt-get install -f <<<<<<< you need the sudo [13:15] Sarthor, hello [13:16] as a boot device, just like you use the ubuntu cd to boot it [13:16] jrib: i saw that the -i was in the required arguments... anyway, I gave it and it says :"http://error.000webhost.com/not_found.html" [13:16] mkesadaran, Yes [13:16] The command "apt-get install -f" worked (its sintax is correct). But it didn't solve the problem. (I used the sudo). [13:16] Hi there ^^ [13:17] eumario, so, I should be able to run the recovery utility residing on D: after installing LInux, if I want to reset the computer to prevoious settings? [13:17] kR5_Chris: would some internet sites be blocked for some reason? [13:17] RickX: That is correct.

I have no firewalls configured and my router doesnt block anything [13:18] *gg* [13:18] ompaul, he could just search it under "custom filters" in synaptic right? [13:18] #ncherek [13:18] kR5_Chris: alright, hold on, let me write something real quick [13:18] # ncherek [13:18] can the boot partition be inside the raid0?

[13:19] kR5_Chris: can you run 'lspci | grep -i vga' and make sure your video card shows up btw? [13:19] Complete error message: dpkg: erro de interpretação, no ficheiro `/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 27306 package `policykit-gnome': [13:19] missing version [13:20] nope i plug a usb device and i went to computer to manually open it like u could in windows and its says its ubable to mount location cant mount file [13:20] anyone here runs gtk+2.14 [13:20] sorry for double post. ubuntu didnt automatically detect it [13:20] Marcus, you could launch synaptic, click the button on the left side that says "Custom Filters" select broken and then try to re-install the package that way [13:20] Marcus, this "might" help; sudo apt-get remove --purge policykit-gnome ; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install policykit-gnome [13:20] does ubuntu run gtk+2.14 [13:20] ompaul's way is faster Marcus [13:21] Thanks ompaul: I'll try to do this.

Now, is this USB Stick your trying to mount, is it the same USB Stick that Ubuntu is on, or is it another USB Stick? [13:22] The remove command didn't work. The system says that the package is not installed (?!). [13:22] jrib: I think my video card is ok too. It says: "05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8500 GT (rev a1)" [13:22] i like my laptop to be manageable [13:22] in size and handling [13:23] and a decent desktop replacement [13:23] Who is pl?

But a quick way to find out, is check and see if there's a folder in the root directory called host, if you see that, then it's mounted already, and all your files that is stored on the USB Stick, is in that folder. [13:24] Sertse: its in the repos [13:25] mkesadaran, Sorry, that's meant for you. [13:25] anyone tried spore ? [13:25] Hello, I'm having a problem with HAL not responding to querys..

Check the package manager and search for 'header' or kernel-dev. ive seen that askeed in here befor. but i dont rember the proper name. [13:41] !header [13:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about header [13:42] kR5_Chris: I see what is wrong I think. edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change "PCI:1:0:0" [13:42] kR5_Chris: I see what is wrong I think. edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change "PCI:1:0:0" to "PCI:5:0:0" [13:42] ok im installing do i sellect scsi2 or scsi1 [13:42] alkaliv2: the pre infstalled Audio Recorder? [13:42] jrib: how to do this? [13:42] dr_willis: you'll mean "linux-headers" [13:42] dr_willis, it's a stupid .nrg file that's probably why its not working. I'll convert it nrg2iso and try again [13:42] !info linux-headers [13:42] Package linux-headers does not exist in hardy [13:42] kR5_Chris: run 'sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf' [13:42] ftp, yes that should do the trick. Sorry I did a minimal ubuntu install so it's not on mine [13:42] zoed, i was just about to paste that. :) [13:43] waan, yep. some nrgs are just renamed .iso's some are not. [13:43] mkesadaran, Do you have 2 hard drives in your Laptop? [13:43] dr_willis: should i install "linux-kernel-devel"? and by headers i got soo many of them :( [13:43] dr_willis, yeah this one has extra junk at the start so its not a proper iso [13:43] uhm no just the flash drive which it detects as scsi1 [13:43] wizardslovak, linux-headers-* depending on your kernel [13:44] scsi2 is the 80 gb ata [13:44] alkaliv2: seems like I can only select real input sources there [13:44] Okay, then SCSI2 would be your hard drive, so you want to install it there. [13:44] ok [13:44] dr_willis, stupid proprietary formats [13:44] ftp, your soundcard should be an option to use as a source [13:44] jrib, I just wanted to thank you & everyone else who helped me.

Sometimes when I update Linux & it's headers using the ubuntu updater it screws with my Nividia card. [13:46] is there a easy way to use VPN like in xp with just adresse IP and pasword to imput ? [13:46] jrib: ok. And now what? [13:46] mkesadaran, You need to enter a password, using Linux without a password, is very un-secure.

[13:50] Minty95: sudo apt-get install network-manager-vpnc or network-manager-openvpn depending on your vpn system [13:50] For the network, if Ubuntu doesn't detect it, then yes. You can install it with NDISwrapper. [13:50] Minty95: or possible network-manager-pptp [13:50] holyguyver, open a terminal and type in glxgears if the animation is smooth you're using proprietary drivers [13:51] mkesadaran: what wireless card do you have?

But when I run the updates, it installs all of the updates, and tells me to reboot, I do that, and I have GTK1 theme, and no window title buttons.

I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [14:39] alkaliv2 Let me post mine as example [14:39] hi buntu users n'dev [14:39] alkaliv2, should I worry about this? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/46623/ [14:39] may someone explain me how I can change Nautilus default text editor [14:39] ? [14:40] alkaliv2 http://paste.ubuntu.com/46624/ [14:40] holyguyver, personally no, nvidia changes nothing with your mouse so if your mouse works right now it will work with the new config too [14:40] roukoun reboot [14:40] watch your screen [14:40] I'm getting reasonable frequent hard-locks of my system. I have to power-cycle to "fix it". How can I go about tracing the issue? I think it may be related to wireless use, but I have no real idea. [14:41] guillaume_ system..pref..preferd apps [14:41] How du I uninstall network-manager-vpnc ? [14:41] thx Jack_Sparrow, but ther's no text editor option [14:41] Minty95 ask in Mint [14:42] To install nvidia drivers in Hardy I just need to check that box in hardware drivers manager? [14:42] Schuenemann for the open source..yes [14:42] Jack_Sparrow, your fstab blows my mind. I've never seen one that long [14:42] alkaliv2 I abuse it.. agreed [14:42] Jack_Sparrow, how is the open source doing? [14:42] Schuenemann I prefer them [14:43] hi [14:43] Schuenemann I lost 100fps trying the prop. ones [14:43] Jack_Sparrow, I see your example though and I think I'm going to tweak mine accordingly. Thank you [14:43] alkaliv2 np [14:43] Lunar_Lamp: first thing....you really think it is hardware related.....so it isnt ubuntu related......if you think it is io related or kernel stuff.....enable sync logging...so you get most data in the syslog [14:43] Jack_Sparrow, last time I checked they weren't doing as nice as the prop ones [14:43] italiani? [14:43] Lunar_Lamp do you have the problem when you run live? [14:44] !it | vtc [14:44] vtc: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [14:44] how can i update java, codecs, etc.... ubuntu? [14:44] !it [14:44] Lunar_Lamp: do a system memory check......memory is sensible...and the problem to misbehaviour very often [14:44] alkaliv2, That did not help at all. [14:44] beli: I'll do a memory check, I hadn't thought of that. How do I enable sync logging? [14:44] holyguyver, tell me you at least have a desktop or that the xserver started [14:45] I'm not convinced it's a hardware issue, at least, I think it is some kind of kernel issue with wireless etc. [14:45] Jack_Sparrow: I did it and when it was loading the ubuntu the last line show that there was something wrong but i couldn't see what was the error... [14:45] Jack_Sparrow, the wiki says that enables the restricted drivers. are you sure those are OS? [14:45] Jack_Sparrow: it was displayed really quick! [14:45] Lunar_Lamp: depends on the syslog daemon you are using....in common it's done by removing the minus '-' sign...but read the manpage of your syslog daemon/config [14:45] roukoun :) you should be able to find it in dmesg [14:45] alkaliv2, I obviously have one, just my resolution is still screwed up as well as my colour. [14:45] Lunar_Lamp: and you should mount the parition you are logging to as sync [14:45] roukoun at least we got you that far [14:45] has someone answered my questien?? =( [14:45] Jack_Sparrow: dmesg? [14:46] Lunar_Lamp: watch out /etc/fstab [14:46] roukoun error logs and such.. [14:46] Jack_Sparrow: how to see it? [14:46] holyguyver, check your xorg.conf and make sure next to driver it says "nvidia" and not "nv: [14:46] I don't like xchat, burk [14:46] Minty95 Please lose the commentary.. we really dont care [14:46] beli: so where would I configure the logging daemon? (I'm using the default ubuntu one which just doesn't give me any useful info at the moment) [14:46] How do I open it again [14:47] hi [14:47] alkaliv2, how do I open it again? [14:47] I plug in my iPod an tell virtualbox to forward it to windows and it doesnt show up :/ [14:47] wait, never mind [14:47] gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [14:47] can someone please guide me (link). how do I do something similar to a DOS *.bat file in ubuntu?

It always stops at the point when building the TOR circuit....ip looks assigned correctly, dns also....I just can continue if I press X and open the menu manually. [14:48] Stolbro in term man bash or let me get you a tool..

[14:50] alkaliv2, what is the key combo to restart x again? [14:50] gentoo is a distro [14:50] roukoun sorry, I dont remember at all.. still early am hours here [14:50] holyguyver, ctrl+alt+backspace [14:50] Jack_Sparrow: I wanna make a .bat that compile my code like "g++ -g -lGL -lglut -o myprogram" and then execute myprogram afterward! [14:50] !gentoo [14:50] Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [14:51] beli: ok, thanks [14:51] Jack_Sparrow: the way I found is to set /etc/alternatives/gnome-text-editor [14:51] brb [14:51] Stolbro /j #bash or install the quide I told you about [14:51] with the drawback : it's system wide [14:51] guillaume_ cool.. noted [14:51] hello [14:51] k i'll do that... thank you for VERY quick answeer :) [14:51] before there's 1 file that i installed then it automatically install packages of codec...

[14:52] how do unistalle the previous sudo apt-get install network-manager-vpnc [14:52] alkaliv2, that still didn't fix my resolution so how do I manually tell it to fix that? [14:52] test [14:52] Stolbro Put #!/bin/bash at the top of a text page [14:52] Minty95: sudo apt-get remove --purge network-manager-vpnc [14:52] Administrator: ...failed [14:52] holyguyver, well we're making progress because you have the driver as nvidia and you still have a display. As for manually making resolutions, I honestly don't know [14:53] Minty95, you sure you are using Ubuntu & not a derivitive? :p [14:53] holyguyver I can show you how I set my res. [14:53] holyguyver, maybe check your system preferences menu again and see if it has more resolution options now? [14:53] alkaliv2, I already did that & it doesn't [14:53] holyguyver minty is NOT using Ubuntu but a derivative and has been run off before because of it [14:54] holyguyver, sorry to jump in, but if you are using the proprietary nvidia driver there should be an nvidia control panel somewhere, that lets you change your resolution [14:54] holy ubuntu [14:54] holyguyver did you install nvidia settings? [14:54] Jack_Sparrow, yes [14:54] I prefer MINT but cant install it on this msi wind [14:54] hey, what do I need to install for glx? [14:54] !find network-manager-vpnc [14:54] Found: network-manager-vpnc [14:55] Can someone PLEASE help me with my external hdd, i'm new to ubuntu and having a really hard time with this [14:55] I have network-manager-vpnc but it doen't not work [14:55] Jack_Sparrow, it tells me to install nvidia xcongfig, but I already have that. [14:55] skeletor in my experiences if you plug it in, it should just pop up [14:55] holyguyver reinstall it [14:55] thought that I would try openvpn [14:55] skeletor: is ntfs ?? [14:55] skeletor: maybe you would describe your problem [14:56] Minty95, why don't you seek help in the mint irc then? [14:56] because I"l using Ubuntu [14:56] Jack_Sparrow, it is installed I just reinstalled in 30 minutes ago. [14:56] Minty95 what exactly does lsb_release -a show in a term.. [14:56] Mint IS ubuntu [14:56] built off it [14:56] its a good distro [14:56] shiloh7 It is NOT ubuntu [14:56] shiloh7: and ubuntu is linux [14:56] Jack_Sparrow, sorry but dont know what u mean [14:57] skeletor: fat disk are usually user writable when there are mounted... [14:57] Minty95 type that in a terminal and tell me exactly what it show you [14:57] Minty95, Mint is a good distro but support for it is in it's irc. [14:57] can anyone tell me what do I need to do in order to know if my nvidia card is working correctly? [14:57] Yeah so ive heard, but this isnt writing at all, even in root [14:57] Schuenemann, What's the output of 'glxinfo | grep -i render'? [14:58] [Q] How can i reset all of my sound configs? [14:58] Schuenemann type glxgears in a terminal windows and let it sit for a bit, it will tell you your fps [14:58] skeletor: so it is mounted read-only...then also root can't write to it [14:58] skeletor It might be locked down by windows for an unclean mount [14:58] test [14:58] MasterShrek, adamk, I don't have any glxgears or glxinfo installed [14:58] Administrator: ...failed [14:58] Administrator Please stop [14:58] Jack_Sparrow, No LSB modules are available., Distributor ID: Ubuntu, Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1, Release: 8.04, Codename: hardy [14:58] shouldn't it be installed automatically when I enabled the restricted drivers [14:58] Minty95 k.thanks [14:59] hmm, the thing is it contains about 130gbs worth of data, data i cant afford to loose [14:59] Schuenemann, Neither of them are part of the restricted drivers package. [14:59] skeletor: maybe due to errors it got mounted read only... can you paste the output of "cat /proc/mounts" === Administrator is now known as James [14:59] !paste | skeletor [14:59] skeletor: 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) [14:59] skeletor you can force mount it. [14:59] test [14:59] Jack_Sparrow, so since I just reinstalled it 30 minutes ago do I have to reinstall it again? [14:59] James please dont [14:59] how do I force mount? [14:59] adamk, shouldn't they be part of nvidia-glx-new ? [14:59] holyguyver If it is asking for that particular app.. yes [14:59] Sorry, I am just learning how to use irssi === James is now known as Guest20071 [14:59] what software is a must in ubuntu 8.04? [14:59] Schuenemann, I'm not sure what package they are from... Possibly mesa-demos or something similar. [14:59] skeletor: you dont want to....localize the problem might be better [14:59] skeletor: -o force [14:59] Schuenemann, No, again, they are not part of the package. [15:00] adamk, mesa-utils? [15:00] Schuenemann, Maybe mesa-utils. [15:00] Yeah, that's what google is trying to tell me. [15:00] dreamer03k, Ubuntu is like the perfect OS, imo that is, mold it to exac tly how you want it :) [15:00] skeletor Force Mount a Drive http://forum.notebookreview.com/archive/index.php/t-211958.html [15:01] dreamer03k, and also imo, the forum is priceless, awesome and helpful info in it [15:02] shiloh7, already installed ubuntu 8.04... is there any application a must ? [15:02] want to install application for this [15:02] dreamer03k xchat [15:02] Can someone tell me how to use zenity --progress [15:02] what else? [15:02] adamk, there it is: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/46628/ [15:02] I need to use it to get progress of downloading a file [15:02] the like like compis [15:02] VLC, k3b, smplayer [15:03] dreamer03k you are rather offtopic.. discussion and chat on best or preferences is in #ubuntu-offtopic [15:03] Schuenemann, Then your drivers are fine. [15:03] for compiz, get fusion-icon, ccsm [15:03] ok [15:03] holyguyver, did you remove and install all the nvidia items? nvidia-settings and such? [15:03] adamk, how many FPS is a reasonable amount? [15:04] Jack_Sparrow, when I just tried to reinstall it it said nvidia-xconfig is already the newest version. [15:04] when i installed on my laptop, i was in awe, everything wprked perfect, i mean everything [15:04] alkaliv2, yes I did [15:04] Sorry === Guest20071 is now known as James [15:04] holyguyver NOt sure why it is still asking for it [15:04] holyguyver, I'd remove everything related to nvidia and start over. (other than xserver-nv of course) === James is now known as Guest25363 [15:05] Anyone know irssi automatically changed my nickname to Guest20071? [15:05] holyguyver what video card? [15:05] envyNG? [15:05] Jack_Sparrow, I have no clue === Guest25363 is now known as HappyLrk [15:05] Schuenemann, glxgears is not a benchmark. [15:06] Schuenemann, It is next to useless. Try running a real 3D application and see if the performance is reasonable :-) [15:06] It just happened again. I am now Guest25363 [15:06] adamk, any suggestion? [15:06] HappyLrk, your nick is probably registered by someone else [15:06] Schuenemann, sauerbraten, openarena, even neverball. I think they are all apt-get'able, though the first two are probably big downloads.

[16:11] Hi everyone. How do I enable propriety drivers for an Intel 82852/855GM integrated graphics chip in Ubuntu 8.04. I know there is a closed source driver according to Intel's website, but the pdoprietary drivers program doesn't say there are any to enable. Right now, it is using vesa. The drivers from Intel's site won't install. [16:11] hello [16:12] benmj: there er no propietary drivers for that hardware [16:12] benmj: all xserver intel drivers are free [16:12] hi all - I'd like some advice. Some of the hardware in my laptop (esp. audio) isn't supported very well by hardy. I figure i might try enabling Pre-released updates (hardy-proposed). My question is, how "unstable" is the stuff in that repo - am I going to be riddled with all sorts of bugs? [16:12] ok, normally, you run an x server and an x client on the same machine (through startx or whatever), but how do you prevent the x client running on the local machine, so you just have a server running? [16:13] I just installed kubuntu-desktop, how do I set my grub bootsplash back to default . [16:13] erUSUL:Intel's site says there are. Interesting. Or perhaps they are free and pessimism just led me to assume that they would be closed source. I'll read the page again.

[16:26] paolo: when I say "yes" I mean, I'm 99% sure and you should go try, but have never done it myself. If you have a GUI, it should prompt you to add the cd to your repository list. If that doesn't happen, use apt-cdrom [16:26] hi,  i have two sound cards - usb (turtle beach) and an onboard one. i've manage to make the usb sound card as the main one, but i cant use the onboard sound for connecting a microphone. is someone knows how to? thanks :) [16:27] benmj: fixed? === heero_ is now known as iambenj [16:28] erUSUL: no, dealing with something strange.

Restarted, got a Grub promt rather than menu, managed to boot it with a super grub boot disk, and got the same problem.

[16:40] paolo: anyway, downloading individual packages is through packages.ubuntu.com [16:41] soundray: in fact i only need the list of dependecies [16:41] paolo: 'apt-cache depends build-essential' [16:41] soundray, here it is 00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C51 [GeForce 6150 LE] (rev a2) [16:41] Hello I was considering trying ubuntu again but this time on my newest PC as a dual boot with XP and I just have a few questions. first will it work with a PCChips P13G+ 1.0, ATI Rage All-in-wonder pro, Nvidia Geforce 7800GS, Intergrated sound, Iomega Zip drive, generic card reader, 3.4ghz P4, 2gb DDR-RAM, And 2 printers over the network on windows 98SE [16:41] holyguyver: how did you install the drivers? [16:41] SzalonyMjut: apt-get is a command line utility and Add/Remove is a graphical easy-to-use interface for installing software. But not all software is available through Add/Remove [16:41] soundray, EnvyNG [16:42] can anyone here recommend a wireless card which will definitely work under ubuntu? [16:42] soundray: it didn't give me anything [16:42] zoed: why not? [16:42] What would you guys recommend for iscsi? open-iscsi or iscsitarget (kernel)? [16:42] benmj: now i'm :| seems that your card does not work with intel drivers... weird... have you tried using i810 instead of intel? [16:42] g0deater: thanks [16:42] sorry iscsitarget isn't kernel :o [16:42] paolo: no output, no errro? [16:42] *error [16:42] the output is === pyrak_ is now known as pyrak [16:42] I'll try that. [16:43] SzalonyMjut: every application in Add/Remove has an image. But, for instance, the build-essential package doesn't have a picture. [16:43] Karthex: I don't know about all that stuff.. but I'll tell you about the stuff I know.. the 7800GS should work using nvidia's binary driver.. printers over a network usually works without any problems, integrated sound usually works although some chipsets need some configs changed.. generic card readers usually works too.. [16:43] benzss, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported [16:43] SzalonyMjut: But for almost everything you can find a suitable application in Add/Remove [16:43] holyguyver: what is your present system state? [16:43] Karthex: but the easiest way to check this is to run the live cd and see... [16:43] soundray, healthy? [16:44] Karthex: although you won't be able to check the nvidia driver that way.. since it requires a reboot to work, afaik [16:44] where is it listed in ubuntu what modules are loaded at boot? [16:44] Hello [16:44] paolo: did you enter precisely the command, and nothing else? [16:44] zoed: so in graphical isn't pidgin-2.5.0, well i must install that by konsole? [16:44] soundray, my system is currently near sighted [16:44] thats good to know, but it is important that the ATI all in wonder works, it is the boot video card [16:44] soundray: checked. yes [16:44] Is there a command in the terminal to boot up from another hard disk? [16:44] frog_: most modules are loaded when the hardware they drive it is discovered during boot [16:44] SzalonyMjut: Pidgin is installed by default! Applications->Internet->Pidgin Internet Messenger [16:45] paolo: did it return to a $ prompt? [16:45] Karthex: I wouldn't know about ATI cards.. since ATI opened up their drivers have improved.. but they have a long way to go [16:45] I have a file server running 8.04. One of my clients is a vista pc. I have my user directory on the vista pc shared. I wanted the file server to create an archive of the complete user directory that will be stored on the file server. When I tried making a bz2 file of the complete user directory if failed with a bunch of errors. When I tried making a bz2 archive of just the documents folder on the vista machine it worked fine. Is the p [16:45] in which package is the 'Fixed' font? [16:45] zoed: yea, but ver 2.4.1 which one has problems with gadu protocole [16:45] soundray: yes [16:45] soundray, please clearify what you mean? [16:45] Slart: well this card hasn't had a new driver in years so I don't think anything recent applies to them [16:45] holyguyver: look, I'm trying to help you here. Can you try and provide an intelligible problem description? [16:46] Karthex: I'm talking about linux drivers.. not windows drivers [16:46] I have a problem with a .ttf font that I've installed on HH. It looks fine everywhere else, but in gnome-term it's unevenly spaced and sometimes glyphs even overlap. [16:46] SzalonyMjut: I see your point. No, you can't install pidgin 1.5 by apt-get, since apt-get as well as Add/Remove use the same repository i.e. download the same software. [16:46] Is there a command in the terminal to boot up from another hard disk? [16:46] timmytiptoe_: not that I know [16:46] timmytiptoe_: no [16:46] !info pidgin [16:46] pidgin (source: pidgin): graphical multi-protocol instant messaging client for X. In component main, is optional. Version 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2.1 (hardy), package size 505 kB, installed size 1856 kB [16:46] soundray, every time I update Linux & Linux headers my system loses it's resolution & it ability to have higher resolutions. [16:46] Slart: I just didn't think ati released anything on something so old [16:46] I am trying to get it running from an external harddisk [16:47] anyway thats not the point, where can I find out if it works [16:47] erUSUL : okay but where is that done? i need to change it so one loads before another, right now they are loading in the wrong order [16:47] I am on a Macbook Pro [16:47] erUSUL: tried restarting in recovery mode to edit xorg.conf and got grub problems again. weird. I'm going to use the super grub boot disk again to try and fix it. Just a sec. [16:47] Karthex: it might have been included in one of their driver packages.. but I wouldn't know since I don't have an ATI card [16:47] in ubuntu I can do a ctrl+alt+f6 and get to another terminal... is it possible to run another Xsession there? [16:47] zoed: I see, there are bit different between gentoo and ubuntu ;) [16:47] holyguyver: that's a known problem with envyng. Just go through the graphics setup again when you've updated the kernel. [16:47] frog_: which modules? maybe they are listed in /etc/modules? [16:47] erUSUL: i only see 2 modules in /etc/modules and i know a heck of a lot more than that is being loaded [16:48] timmytiptoe_, if your motherboard supports it you can choose which drive to boot from, grub will need to be installed on that drive [16:48] paolo: does 'apt-cache depends ubuntu-desktop' give you a list of dependencies? [16:48] i am confused why only 2 moduls show up there [16:48] hi, can I use the connector retasking ability of realtek hd audio at ubuntu? [16:48] soundray, I have done that 8 times this morning, it did not help. [16:48] ooops. nevermind. The archive creation of the shared documents folder on the vista machine just failed. Am I allowed to have the ubuntu file server look at the vista shared documents folder and create an archive? [16:48] SzalonyMjut: yeah, I see gentoo has the newer version http://gentoo-portage.com/net-im/pidgin. [16:48] I get a bunch of errors along the lines of: [16:49] erUSUL: lsmod lists a lot more modules than are reported to load at boot in /etc/modules [16:49] frog_: well as i said earlier modules are loaded in the order the hardware is discovered... so when the kernel probes pci devices it it finds the sound card it loads sound modules later it finds a eth card the module is loaded and so on [16:49] soundray: yes [16:49] SzalonyMjut: of course, you can also grab the newest source code and compile that, but the question is if it integrates well with ubuntu [16:49] tar: : Cannot Stat: No such file or directory [16:49] erUSUL: Ok, I fixed grub. Booting in recovery mode to try and get at a command line. [16:49] but I can go to those directories and see there contents from the file server [16:50] frog_: so there is no easy way to change order unless the modules are loaded manually (or by scripts) hence why i asked itf they are in /etc/modules [16:50] erUSUL: Done. I now have a root prompt. Now what? [16:50] zoed: true, but i must have the newer ver., there are something like overlays in ubuntu? === Tizz_ is now known as Tizz [16:50] benmj: try i810 driver instead intel? [16:50] SzalonyMjut: If you want newest software, you can upgrade to Ubuntu Intepid (8.10) - but it is still the unstable dev version. [16:50] erUSUL: i just installed uvcvideo driver for my webcam which works fine... but where is the module being started at? i want it to load after my video capture cards so it grabs /dev/video3 instead of /dev/video2 [16:50] So soundray I have been doing it manually in xorg.congfig but I need to know if mode is where I need to list the avalable resolutions? [16:51] ok checked online appears that the ATI drivers may work on this card, next I was wondering if I could choose where programs are installed. Not a critical detail but I like to have that control [16:51] holyguyver: no [16:51] frog_: why instead of playing this games you do not writte a udev rule that just creates a link /dev/webcam ?? [16:51] SzalonyMjut: As far as I know, you can't add the intrepid sources and just install one intrepid package without doing a complete upgrade, but I'm not sure. [16:51] !udev | frog_ [16:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about udev [16:51] soundray, then what is it? [16:51] funny thing. The documents archive i just tried to create and failed, has all the directorys listed but there are no files inside those directories [16:52] anyone able to help me configure my wireless adaptor or tell me where to go to get help? [16:52] soundray: probably i've solved. i'm picking the build essential package directly from the cd [16:52] erUSUL: i was also trying to do a device=/dev/video3 in the modprobe.d/options file [16:52] frog_: http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html#example-usbhdd [16:52] zoed: mhh at getdeb.net are the newer pidgin, can I install that from there? [16:52] frog_: that's the correct solution to you problem [16:52] SzalonyMjut: You could try downloading the intrepid .deb from http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=names&keywords=pidgin and install it in hardy (no idea if that works) [16:53] erUSUL: it doesnt seem to accept any kind of parm for that though. how do i do this udev thing? that sounds similar [16:53] holyguyver: the standard way to configure resolutions in Ubuntu is 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk'. I don't know if this will work under an NVidia driver installed by envyng, but it's the first thing I would try. [16:53] SzalonyMjut: the site I just named is the ubuntu repository, it would probably be better to download the .deb from ubuntu (which does have ubuntu-specific changes, but for intrepid) rather than a distor-neutral version. [16:54] soundray, that will not work in my case as it doesn't give me any options other then 800x600 which is not correct. [16:54] SzalonyMjut: Thats what I would do (if I needed the newer version) [16:54] frog: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5698771 see [16:54] [16:54] holyguyver: if it doesn't, there is an nvidia-specific xorg.conf tool, but I don't know what it's called -- nvidia-??? [16:54] trying to create an archive from a shared vista folder. The archive contains the sub directories but those directories contain no files. The archive manager fails with errors stating that "no such file or directory exists" yet I can browse,open,create, and delete files on that shared folder. Any ideas [16:54] holyguyver: maybe enter nvidia- and hit Tab twice to see the possible completions [16:54] frog_: see IntuitiveNipple comment [16:55] smm289: what's the command line you used? or you used some gui? [16:55] the misc-fixed bitmap-font seems to be installed, however I can't select it in gnome terminal; I did enable bitmap-fonts with 'dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config', and I can also select helvetica, for example; xlsfonts also lists misc-fixed-* [16:55] soundray, , I do know what the tool is called but it is malfuntioning on my system. [16:55] any idea why? [16:55] I seem to have an issue with Firefox... it will get locked up on certain sites, the app will dim (get dark) then will come back to life. It is really annoying. Any ideas? [16:55] hey [16:55] holyguyver: okay, back to displayconfig-gtk. Does it let you choose a display? [16:55] bcardarella: could it be the flash plugin acting up? [16:55] I have a tablet PC i lost the pen will any tablet PC pen work for it????? === patrick is now known as Guest86580 [16:56] soundray, no it does nnot let me choose anything [16:56] smm289: try make an archive of only the content of the share. (ie. dont right-click the share, but the content folder you want to put in an archive) [16:56] Slart: possibly. That's what I thought [16:56] soundray, I must restart x now though [16:56] frog_: SUBSYSTEM=="video4linux", BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="054c", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0154", NAME="video5" <<< that's the rule you have to find the correct sysfs vendor for you webcam and change at the end NAME="video5" for SYMLINK+="my_disk" [16:56] brb [16:56] Slart: I'll try killing my flash plugin and reinstall [16:56] Guest86580: depends on the tablet pc.. with some anything pointy and plastic will work [16:56] hello [16:56] ok I lied, I cannot create a folder or file in the shared vista folder unless I open the folder as administrator [16:56] frog_: perdon SYMLINK+="my_webcam" or whatever you fancy [16:57] erUSUL: okay i am looking [16:57] i don't know how to do that yet :( . how can i tell apt to work only with cd and not with network? [16:57] erUSUL: do you mind repeating the command? I got the gui going again by restoring xorg.conf, so I hope not to need to edit that file by hand. [16:57] bcardarella: flash is a source of many problems in linux..try installing flashblock or something and try that site again [16:57] frog_: then your webcam will allways have the same name no matter what [16:57] I did that, the share is the complete user folder on vista. I right clicked the docuements sub folder to create the archive [16:57] erUSUL: The command for switching drivers, if I was unclear. [16:57] smm289: try copying the folder to the desktop first and then creating the archive from the ubuntu desktop. [16:57] benmj: gksudo displayconfig-gtk [16:57] smm289: that should work. [16:58] Slart how about a Fujitsu Stylistic 5032 [16:58] erUSUL: thanks, I'll try it. [16:58] Guest86580: shesh.. you think I know all tablet pc models out there? try using anything pointy and see if the computer reacts.. don't scratch the screen though [16:59] can anybody help me with my wireless adaptor? [16:59] oh ok [16:59] well is there a way where i can find out for sure? [16:59] erUSUL: so.. /etc/modules is only for modules you want to load at boot that the kernel hasnt already autodetected? [16:59] Guest86580: ask whoever made the computer? [16:59] because you see I'm trying to get it to run linux [16:59] ya that will probably do it, but I really dont want to take that step. What I am trying to do is setup an archive back-up system were the file server goes to the specified share directorys and creates an archive on a schedule. I prob should be using a sync program but I figured I would see if it works first by using a simple archive creation [16:59] but there are no tablet drives [17:00] frog_: yep some hardware (isa based) can not be autodetected and some other is just buggy [17:00] Guest86580: try just running the live cd.. see if you can move the mouse pointer around.. [17:00] Im trying to create the archive right now, but this time I have open the folder with administrative rights before creating the archive. The shared folder has a little padlock icon on it [17:00] yea m installing hardy on it rght now [17:00] Hi, I have a screen resolution problem [17:00] did any1 in here compile mysql workbench before? [17:00] I download .deb ( unstable package pidgin 2.5), but how I can install that by console? [17:01] erUSUL: this article was just what i needed! thanks man [17:01] but yesturday i follow the steps and it didnt work i dont know if i need the tablet pen or what [17:01] I have a (very) fresh installation of Ubuntu HArdy on an RM supercompact [17:01] SzalonyMjut: sudo dpkg -i [17:01] But the screen is stretched vertically and goes off the bottom of the screen [17:01] Please HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is worse then ever now :'( [17:01] I am in a 600 by 400 screen [17:02] holyguyver: go sit in a corner and think about what you just did..

[17:02] I'm assuming Ubottu just gave the answer, hey? :P [17:02] erUSUL: just a sec while I confirm. [17:02] Jampiter, ubottu did not give the anwer to me [17:03] SzalonyMjut: I'm not entirely sure about what it will do.. I would guess it would update if there was a newer version in the repos.. but I'm not sure [17:03] What is the best way to share folders/files with windows machines?

[17:03] holyguyver, follow the instructions from ubottu [17:03] Jampiter, that page is not the answer [17:03] what would be a good archive program to use. I want the ubuntu filer server to look at specific shared folders on a schedule and create a locally stored sync. The folders are on vista/XP and linux machines [17:03] i think samba is busted in 8.04 [17:03] keithclark: I don't know if I'd call it "the best".. but it works [17:03] !fixres > holyguyver [17:03] holyguyver, please see my private message [17:03] holyguyver: gksudo displayconfig-gtk [17:03] Samaba seems to be working ok for me, 8.04 [17:03] Samba works fine for me in 8.04.

[17:04] Eurgh [17:04] maybe its just the x86_64 version then [17:04] Can't help you there, sorry [17:04] Any help for me anyone? [17:04] erUSUL: Thanks! It appears to be working correctly with the new drivers. [17:04] I just used the Nautilus right click share options. I had to add one line to the .conf file saying that I could share files/folders that I did not own [17:04] I'm using Samba x86_64 just fine. [17:04] Jampiter: ok.. what have you tried? editing xorg.conf? can you pastebin your config file? [17:04] benmj: ok; glad to help [17:05] Didn't notice any change from 7.10. [17:05] is your workgroup named something other than the defualt WORKGROUP [17:05] smm289: no, I mean the inability of creating an archive in a share [17:05] maybe im just shitty at writing config files then [17:05] Will someone please just tell me how I can manually change my screen resolution in xorg.config? [17:05] Is there a GUI for Samba?

[17:07] hwilde, I have done that 20 times thismorning [17:07] Jampiter: no worries.. so you tried the System, preferences, screen resolution thingy? [17:07] smm289: I saved it on the share [17:07] 2 [17:07] hi [17:07] hi [17:07] hwilde, I have been in here with this problem since 5 this mourning & now it is 9. [17:07] Zoed: can you do the same thing but save the archive to the local system that is creating the share, like to the desktop or some place [17:07] smm289: But it also works if I save it on my gharddisk [17:07] q [17:08] gharddisk ?

[17:57] kaur i can't connect by cable.. it's too far [17:58] chip82, that's not what i meant. Do you have the card for that [17:58] chip82, ? === Ziroday1 is now known as Ziroday [17:58] yes kaur, i have the net card [17:58] BonD- : actually, ubuntu does have a root account, but logins to it are disabled... you have to login to a regular account and then sudo things root needs to do [17:58] BonD-, you are not making any sense [17:58] i have disabilited the cable net card [17:58] chip82, I had similar problems when both interfaces were enabled at the same time [17:58] chip82, ok [17:58] i am root@ubuntu man..

[18:11] keithclark: read the docs of wiki.ubuntu? [18:11] droopsta915, AFAIK, yes. But you should consult someone with more knowledge on the issue [18:12] mel01: seems like you should talk to the developers of that deb [18:12] droopsta915, win overrides grub AFAIK [18:12] droopsta915: no it wont be an issue...you will just have to reinstall grub [18:12] Well, I just want to yank it at this point. Conflicts seem to arise when I try to revert, though [18:12] ompaul, Yes, but swat did not work.

[18:14] holyguyver: use a working xorg.conf [18:15] arvind_khadri, & where do I find one of those? [18:15] ompaul, maybe another distro comes with samba installed and has a built in gui. [18:15] keithclark, don't assume you know nothing, start reading slowly [18:15] holyguyver: /etc/X11/ [18:15] keithclark, you have done stuff already and really what you want to do is point samba at the partition [18:15] Using GDM to start also fails [18:16] is it possible to lock the screen from terminal [18:16] (Same problem) [18:16] ? [18:16] keithclark, i.e. the answer to your questions lie in your config files [18:16] arvind_khadri, & how do I get it to use one of those? [18:16] How should I proceed?

[18:18] Dante123: Because it can't do 3D Accelerated Graphics. Or so i read. [18:18] holyguyver: then there will be lots of them lying over there...choose a recent one and copy paste it to your xorg.conf then restart X [18:18] Dante123: Damn useless to me then. :p [18:18] Dante123: But if i want to run notepad i'll be sure to use it ;) [18:18] Hello [18:18] i want to install windows on my second drive, can i unplugg the first drive and install? [18:18] Leefmc beta has 3d in VMWare or is it still "experimental" [18:18] jdnewmil: Thanks [18:18] arNo actually I should choose an old one as I have about 4 bad ones from just this morning [18:18] Any ideas of what could be going wrong? [18:18] arvind_khadri, actually I should choose an old one as I have about 4 bad ones from just this morning [18:18] Dante123: Yes it does, thats why im attempting to use it.. :p [18:19] Leefmc except for 3d gaming....I think Virtualbox is fine. [18:19] droopsta915: I don't think that will leave a functioning windows when you replug the first drive [18:19] holyguyver: choose a working one... [18:19] Dante123: Yea.. heh [18:19] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 440 Go] (rev a3) === p3nt4x is now known as django0909 [18:20] Dante123: For me, i have zero use for any windows application that doesn't deal in 3D. Linux provides everything but some of my CG software (modo, xsi, zbrush, etc). [18:20] i want tot partition some of the ubuntu drive but i have three partitions and dont want to delete any of them [18:20] arvind_khadri, but once I choose it how do I make it sollect it? [18:20] droopsta915 : but if you can configure the blank drive as your first drive permanently, then you can probably run with linux on your second drive easily [18:20] Dante123: Why are we debating my needs for software :p [18:20] Hi all, if anyone could take their time to look at the following post and help me out, I'd be very grateful! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=917796 [18:20] Dante123: I dont suppose you actually know anything about my question do you? [18:20] Apparently, they are working on 3d gaming for Vbox. But obviously not at the stage of VMWare at this point then. Good luck with VM. See if they have their own irc channel you may get more help there. Personally, the vbox channel is very helpful....so I would imagine there is a good VMWare community too. [18:21] django0909: You could try #ubuntuforums [18:21] octoberdan: will do [18:21] so make master into the slave [18:21] holyguyver: open the file using gedit and the copy paste it to xorg.conf then save the file and close it, then restart X [18:21] jdnewmil, dpkg -r did the trick! Was able to install the older package afterwards. Thanks! [18:21] Leefmc cut the snarkiness. I was suggesting vbox in case you had not considered it. Obviously you have....so good luck with VM. [18:21] I accidentally smashed my LCD screen on my laptop, could this be related? [18:21] i've plugged a DVI 2 HDMI to monitor; now Desktop is too big for tv monitor and fonts are a bit blurry [18:22] hwilde still here? [18:22] Dante123: Sorry, this happens now and then heh. My bad :). (I mostly see this in programming channels though) [18:22] Does anyone have CNR client installed on Ubuntu 8.04? I seem to have problems installing it. [18:22] Dante123: You get someone who asks a question, then they have to justify it for 40 minutes before they get an answer. Obviously its not the case here, so i apologize. [18:23] Leefmc try #vmware [18:23] Dante123: Thanks, and again, my bad. :) [18:23] No problem. Leefmc. [18:23] GamingX, you really dont hear much about CNR being used under ubuntu. last i looked most of the stuff it offered was allready in the repos anyway [18:23] Leefmc, good luck. [18:23] Dante123: On a more ubuntu/linux note though, RPMs are sort of like deb's correct? [18:23] !rpm [18:23] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [18:24] Yes, for Fedora/Red hat etc. [18:24] Ah, so rpm wont even work in ubuntu? [18:24] octoberdan : dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? [18:24] That explains my trouble with RPM :o [18:24] arvind_khadri, Alright I just restarted x & like always it changed nothing [18:24] Leefmc- no they won't. Do you already have VMware downloaded? [18:24] If I want to run a scripts in a custom scripts directory, from some other random directory, can't i do so by creating some sort of symbolic link? [18:24] it's been a while.. kinda foggy [18:24] Leefmc or did you only see it offered as rpm? [18:25] jdnewmil: Tried that. No luck [18:25] Does anyone use the plugin call perl-support? [18:25] for gvim [18:25] csa3d, proberly can. :) or just put the dirs in your default PATH [18:25] csa3d; ln -s [18:25] holyguyver: use a file which is very old...the last perfectly working one... the older files would have dates attached to them after .conf [18:25] Hi can any body help please my system played sound yesterday and now it wont play anythin musuc or system sounds [18:25] ? [18:25] Dante123: Yea, but only the rpm. I only see rpm and .bundle, but there must be more because every ubuntu tutorial (eg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Workstation) mention a tar file. I'm sure the vmware folks will know [18:25] arvind_khadri, that is what I used [18:25] oh right.. the PATH [18:25] csyntax: The solution to whatever problem you're having is to use emacs ;-) [18:26] Ive downloaded the tar.gz's from vmware sites befor. [18:26] holyguyver: well why isnt your X working btw? [18:26] dr_willis: ah, well. I was looking to install Skype, but couldn't install it using apt-get so I remembered CNR offering Ubuntu services so I thought I might try it out, except its got problems. [18:26] i don't like emac [18:26] it work on my fedora 9 linux [18:26] Leefmc yes, try them. I did try VMware a couple of times- but for my needs and under ubuntu I found vbox easier to work with. [18:26] arvind_khadri, because I updated Linux & Linux headers. [18:26] :-(, well emacs doesn't like you!! [18:26] lol whatever [18:26] hi [18:26] dr_willis: Where at? http://www.vmware.com/communities/content/beta/ws65/download.html seems to not have a tar file. [18:26] hi can any one help plaese i have lost system sounds and all sounds when i try to play a sound it says invalid argument [18:26] csyntax: What problem are you having? It's bad to ask to ask [18:26] holyguyver: then use an older kernel... it would be there in your menu.lst [18:26] Dante123: Is .bundle a usable format? === herb_ is now known as herb [18:27] arvind_khadri, that is what I am going to try next [18:27] GamingX, there are some repos with skype.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [18:28] Hi everyone [18:28] Dante123: Yea, i just gatta find the download first ;).

[18:43] Hi out there! I am looking for information about how to boot Ubuntu without the GDM or any desktop. Ideally I would like to boot into the Frame Buffer or into a plain X Session. Is there a good set of instructions out there on this subject? [18:43] it's just a good distrib ^^ [18:43] hello .i have two partition one for Ubuntu and the second for windows i wanna destroy windows. [18:44] hmmmm Its not there how would I make it [18:44] armornick: ubuntu is designed to "just work".. not much compiling and such.. if you call that "for kids", then sure.. it's for kids [18:44] 'man syslogd' presents SYSKLOGD(8) to me. Why does Ubuntu not offer a 'man syslogd'? [18:44] What I am tying to do is boot into a program called Wah!Cade [18:44] whileimhere : what is a "plain X session" with no window manager? [18:44] ubuntu is like perfect clay, you can mold it to exactly how you want, you dont have to settle for anything [18:45] Manther, i imagine it came with WINDOWS drivers.. which are not LINUX drivers. I coule be wrong.. but i would be suprsed if they had anything related to linux on their included cds [18:45] another thing, how stable do you think Mint is in comparison to Ubuntu? [18:45] /home/dan/.xchat2/downloads [18:45] every change I make in my home folder (/home/freddie) is mirrored on my desktop.

[18:45] shiloh7-> and like clay it can get hard and crack on you :P [18:45] greetings [18:45] lol [18:45] armornick, ive had very few issues with mint. but i dont really need mint.

[18:46] is it ok for a CPU to range between 50-60 Celsius ? [18:46] Manther, totally depends ont he exact chipset of your sound card. I rarely have to mess with sound, I got Creative AUdigy 2zs cards [18:47] whileiamhere : maybe one of the kiosk projects would be useful [18:47] yes woli [18:47] Jack_Sparrow, you here?

[18:48] like 70-80 max [18:49] keithclark, my 'basics samba setup' - Install samba service/pckage, edit smb.conf enable home shares, set them to be 'broweable' - give each user a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' - and be sure the workgroup name is correct in the smb.conf.. thats about it for me. [18:49] ciao [18:49] Is there a utility to control fan speeds for laptops please? The one on mine runs constantly and noisily since I installed Ubuntu. [18:49] woli: 50 celsius sounds healthy to me, but im not really an expert in hw [18:49] molePrince, there's no general utility... what is your laptop model? [18:49] dr_willis, yup, tried all that. [18:49] is there a way to get hosts.deny to use domain names? [18:49] can somebody help me ? [18:49] Mavrik: ASUS EEE 1000H. [18:49] or would have I have manually asign an ip to the domain name in /etc/hosts [18:49] marianul: It's not clear what exactly you are trying to do / what setup you have. How are the computers connected physically and what do you mean by "When I try to connect to UBUNTU SERVER, my ethernet is down" ? [18:50] I have a user using dyndns.org [18:50] hmm.. [18:50] keithclark : pardon my skepticism that you have "tried all that"... you need to be more specific about what you HAVE done if you want help ... did you follow a howto? which one? [18:51] i got 3 computers, connected to a router, i got dynamic ip, and i am trying lanching the unbutu server to ethernet, to can accesing my ubuntu server by another pc using putty, do you understand me ?

[18:52] hwilde: "That machine" being the one he is trying to ssh into ? [18:52] Jordan_U, yeah he's in ubuntu server but he has no IP [18:52] Dante123: I've been talkin with a guy in #vmware, i ended up converting the rpm and im installing it as we speak. What the heck is the bundle though? [18:52] I am at their download page...6.5 beta portal (you have to register to access but it is free) [18:52] Jordan_U, then he needs to ping that ip from the other machine, and ssh to it [18:52] hwilde: Has he tried "sudo ifconfig eth0 && sudo dhclient eth0" ? [18:53] Jordan_U, it took me this long to figure out what he is asking. gotta go eat lunch [18:53] any way i can monitor a interface alias ip [18:53] Jordan_U, he just needs to get that computer online then he will be able to ssh to it [18:53] Leefmc I suspect that you use makefile with it to install [18:53] bandwith wise i mean [18:53] so what each ip is using in bandwidth [18:53] marianul: Try running "sudo ifconfig eth0 && sudo dhclient eth0" [18:53] Leefmc probably for "generic" or non-rpm linux distros [18:53] Jordan_U, ifconfig eth0 up u mean [18:53] every change I make in my home folder (/home/freddie) is mirrored on my desktop.

[20:00] i edited the w2k metacity theme. it was inaccurate with the button metrics, colours, and such. if anyone wants it let me know. not sure if i should upload it to gnome art, since it's not my work, i only updated it. [20:00] I was wondering if anyone had ever been able to have a dual screen work with "glx" module [20:01] KenBW22: just do a search on laptops that are known top be compatible w/ Linux.. and look for those models.

[20:03] without the -p- option everything is working... [20:03] what you think? [20:03] i love useing gvim [20:03] KenBW22: if you anticipate a problem, just dualboot it w/(i'm assuming) vista for a short while while you sort stuff out.

You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloak [20:46] is here somebody who can help me? [20:47] Kohlrak: tor? [20:47] eventmaster: Depends. What's your problem? [20:48] starenka: no... I mean a proxy like... let's say my website is kohlrak.com. I need a program that i can use with apache2 to go to kohlrak.com/proxy?url=www.somewebsite.com and it'll send back the web page. [20:48] benmj: i installed on my hp pavilion ze4200 ubuntu [20:48] and now i cannot open anything programms or terminal [20:48] Kohlrak: eee.. mod_proxy in apache? dunno just guessing [20:49] Kohlrak: howw about a php script? [20:49] eventmaster: What do you mean? [20:49] MUAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!!! [20:49] danbh_intrepid: that'd be fine too, as long as it does more than iframe teh site.

[20:50] glxgears is not a benchmark. [20:50] eventmaster: Can you literally not start any programs whatsoever? [20:50] adamk can you tell me one ? [20:50] yes [20:51] eventmaster: Does the desktop come up and otherwise behave normally? [20:51] lacy: searched in synaptic for "benchmark" ? [20:51] danbh_intrepid: no. I want it to mirror the website. So whatever is on somewebsite.com, it is then simply output by the php or the cgi.. kinda like the web proxies at http://www.proxy.org [20:51] lacy, Just try an actual opengl application or game and see what kind of performance you get. Then you'll know if you are getting good performance :-) [20:51] thanks [20:51] i can maybe open for 2 minutes programs [20:51] and than i can do nothing [20:52] desktop comes [20:52] how can i edit the gnome panel's menu icon [20:52] i get 500fps on glxgears [20:52] gnuskool: maximized resolution? [20:52] I have installed kbuntu amd64 and can't get dvd's to play is this a known issue? or is there somewhere else I can read to make them work? (I have found the pages which refer to using the medibuntu packages for libdvdcss2, libdvdread, etc) [20:52] Kohlrak: yeah, I dunno the answer, but I assume you could do it with a php script. Just grab the other website, and then echo it out. [20:52] question I have recovered a bunch of files but the folders in the output folder of foremost is hidden I can see it but I can't do anything with it [20:52] hey guys, Q: I am trying to make a floor plan of my new apartment - which app should I use? [20:52] You mean it completely locks up after two minutes or so? [20:52] Kohlrak: dunno i think this works, as i said before http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html [20:52] I need a guide that tells me how the basics of linux works [20:52] Kohlrak: yeah, but then again i got an ancient thinkpad with 256MB ram [20:53] wolfjb: if it's a normal dvd it should work.. try typing !dvd in here for some links from ubottu [20:53] eventmaster: Or can you just not open programs after two minutes? [20:53] Slart: thanks [20:53] danbh_intrepid: actually you can fetch it w/ curl in php, but how about the images etc?? [20:53] !dvd [20:53] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [20:53] yes [20:53] danbh_intrepid: i didn't know you could grab a page via php? [20:53] starenka: i'll try looking at this [20:54] yuri_: I don't think there's anything special for doing floor plans.. but perhaps dia [20:54] HaZiLLa: a book is the best way, so you can have linux open and can flip pages, jon a nlibrary [20:54] Yes to which one? Can you do nothing or just not open programs? [20:54] Slart: thanks, ill trey that [20:54] Kohlrak: you can... and you can also use curl extension [20:54] Slart: btw, it's a purchased StarWars Episode I dvd [20:54] how do I make the files visible anyway? [20:54] Slart: it doesnt have to be "gnufloorplan" :) [20:54] yuri_, you might like qcad [20:54] starenka: curl? it's been a long time since i used php, and even then i wasn't any good with it? [20:54] wolfjb: hmm.. let me get my copy and try it =) [20:55] Im new to ubuntu but not linux and I just installed ubuntu-server. Im curious on the frequency of package updates. I don't see any apache 2.2.9 just 2.2.8 in the apt packages. Does a new version of apache not get released until the next full release of ubuntu or has one just not been made yet? [20:55] nickrud: does it require kde libs? [20:55] HaZiLLa: there are also video tutorials on youtube and other video sites, look around, but google has tons of linux related pages if you want to read online [20:55] yuri_: hehe.. well.. any cad software should work too.. [20:55] yuri_, libqt3-mt only [20:55] naiad: not made yet [20:55] nickrud: okie, thanks [20:55] Kohlrak: yes, you can get the page via fopen() and such , or use cul http://cz2.php.net/curl [20:55] naiad: correct, in general, new software is release every 6 months, with the new release [20:55] eventmaster: Try ctrl-alt-f1 sometime after it locks up. You should get a command line. Tell me if that works. [20:56] alright, thanks starenka, i'll see what i can do with this [20:56] naiad, correct [20:56] ok so I used foremost to recover a bunch of files how do I see them outside of the console? [20:56] naiad, although security stuff that is in .9 would get backported to .8 [20:56] naiad, server relaesases are not bleeding edge [20:56] Slart: wierd, I ejected it and tried it again and now it works [20:56] would it be released faster if 2.2.9 contained more serious security fixes? [20:56] Kohlrak: np, check pm plz [20:56] benmj: if i press ctrl-alt-f1 i get [20:57] An NBC web site tells me I need to upgrade flash to version 9, even though I already have it. I suspect that NBC is discriminating against linux users because of it's affiliation with MicroSoft, but I suppose there could be a bug in my computer. Would some people here please tell me if http://www.nbc.com/The_Tonight_Show_with_Jay_Leno/video/episodes/ works for you, or says you need to upgrade? [20:57] oh [20:57] Hi to all! I like Ubuntu! :) [20:57] Slart: no menus though [20:57] (mplayer dvd://1) [20:57] well that's all im really concerned about is making sure the security patches are up to date [20:57] vbhcB CVC [20:57] ok i can open command line [20:57] and now [20:57] naiad: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=names&keywords=apache2 [20:57] how do u sudo reboot [20:57] kingsley: get the ubuntu firefox addon that allows you to change 'user agent' so you can masquerade as any browser [20:57] benjm: i have no internet on this pc [20:57] wolfjb: well.. it worked right away here.. opened in totem.. seems to be playing fine [20:58] ok so I used foremost to recover a bunch of files how do I see them outside of the console? [20:58] anyone know how to edit the gnome panel's menu icon? [20:58] wolfjb: but no menus.. as you said [20:58] gnuskool: Interesting. Could I impose upon you to check if NBC's web site works for you? [20:58] ah [20:58] kingsley, seems to be working here [20:58] Guest55467: sudo shutdown -r now [20:58] eventmaster: Good to know. Also, I am glad you get that command line. It means the system isn't completely locked up. [20:58] THE_GFR|WORK, where are they, in the console [20:59] kingsley: it just sits there for me [20:59] Slart: well, that was really odd, I've been trying it for a while with different players all to no avail, of course until I ask a question then it magically starts working. I must have missed something earlier [20:59] kingsley: i dont have it installed, i used to and know it works on some sites to masquearade as IE [20:59] Would there be a way to validate the 2.2.8 package I have installed has the 2.2.9 bug fixes? [20:59] Slart: thanks for the reply though, much appreciated [20:59] nickrud: That's interesting. Thanks. Two questions: 1.) Which web browser worked and 2.) Which version of flash is reported by http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507? [20:59] wolfjb: no worries [20:59] wolfjb: glad you got it sorted out [21:00] eventmaster: As for the internet thing, do you mean it normally has internet acess and that isn't working either, or do you mean that it normally doesn't? [21:00] danbh_intrepid: Thanks. Two questions: 1.) Which web browser did you use and 2.) Which version of flash is reported by http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507? [21:00] kingsley, a sec, work [21:00] is there a command to get grub to reconfigure itself automatically? [21:00] !grub [21:00] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [21:01] kingsley: firefox, and it didn't work, it just sits there with the nbc logo kinda flashing. That link gives me a blank page [21:01] benmj: yes normaly it has internet acess but it does not configure [21:01] i have a fritz stickl [21:01] When I set up a dual boot with vista and select it on the menu, it doesn't work [21:01] kingsley: mmm, works without the last ? === patrick is now known as Guest68088 [21:01] It just returns to the grub screen after I select the entry [21:02] what packages do i need to install to create an ssh server? [21:02] kingsley: heh, the version reported for my flash is LNX === gaurav__ is now known as gaurav_ [21:02] how do i take screenshots in xubuntu? [21:02] KenBW22: try openssh-server [21:03] KenBW22, try ssh [21:03] danbh_intrepid: If you omit the ? from the URL, Adobe's web site should report a version like 9,0,124,0. [21:03] eventmaster: there may not be much I can do about the internet access. USB wifi in linux can be a little iffy, depending on the device. I'll look into it, though. [21:03] DOes anybody know when OO 3 will be in packages? [21:04] kingsley: well, im on intrepid atm, running flash 10 I believe, which is a beta. So, it doesn't surprise me that its not working correctly [21:04] OleksandrKovalov: most likely in a future ubuntu release [21:04] adilaon got to > applications/accesories/takescreenshot [21:04] KenBW22, thx 8.05 ?

I just did the various updates asked by the system [21:29] and keeps saying "can now unjustify" when you try to save etc [21:29] that is annoying enough for me to think about chocking the life out of the developer [21:29] drives me nuts [21:30] erUSUL: no it does not [21:30] i've used nano since the days when it was still pico before it was cloned and I only seen this crap on ubuntu [21:30] Sara22: do "sudo modprobe r8187" [21:30] Hi, I've lost some text that I typed into a web form because the site logged me out. I see there is a file called formhistory.sqlite in my firefox directory -- might this still contain my work? How can I read it? [21:31] erUSUL: no it says sudo modprobe r8187 [21:31] soundray: if it's an sqlite database there are tools to read it.. [21:32] flyback: the help file shows how to justify a paragraph or an entire file.. maybe the same keys will unjustify [21:32] soundray: sqlite is open source..afaik.. check their site for binaries [21:32] hm, my upgrade from dapper to hardy is failing. http://x03.ath.cx/temp/died.txt is the error, http://x03.ath.cx/temp/sources.list is my sources.list... any ideas?

[21:35] i'm about to break down and just roll out a new image [21:35] I have sound in firefox but not in the videoplayer, what is wron [21:35] erUSUL: yes it says FATAL: Module 8187 not found [21:36] Flannel, no because it's no always apprant because you can only figure it out when you boot the system [21:36] Sara22: is r8187 (note the r) [21:36] i've had to edit files several times before it worked [21:36] it's like it's putting invisible characters on lines [21:36] extra lf's etc [21:36] can anyone help with multi monitor support?

[21:37] Sara22: what version of ubuntu do you have instaled ? [21:37] erUSUL: 8.0.4 [21:37] flyback: No, you don't need to force a newer version. [21:37] it's ok this image is getting hosed anyways [21:37] Sara22: Hardy [21:37] I think there's some stuff broken anyways [21:38] How do I print out a separator page for every job? [21:38] foo: can you view http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ in a web browser? [21:38] the biggest thing of course was the broken kernel [21:38] soundray: mm.. have you checked the cache? grep might be useful (I'm assuming you remember something of the stuff you wrote) [21:38] 2.6.15 is *CANUCKED* [21:38] I have a big batch job and I really need to separate everyone of the files that comes out [21:38] has a nfs crash and burn bug [21:38] flyback: Please stop using that term. [21:38] Slart: yes, tried that, no dice === baumi is now known as baumi`blub [21:38] danhs1: isn't there a setting in some printer properties? [21:38] ok :P [21:38] Slart: where? [21:38] danhs1: I'm almost certain I've seen it somewhere [21:38] Sara22: weird ... find /lib/modules -type f -name '*r8187*' returns anything? [21:38] danhs1: hang on.. let me check [21:38] if anyone wants free ubuntu cd installs just let me know and it is on your way :) [21:39] flyback: And, if you're having kernel problems, try upgrading to Hardy. You can do it right off the bat. [21:39] Slart: I'll just have to remember what I wrote and write it again. Bad luck, but can't be helped [21:39] like cd [21:39] Flannel: Thanks, yes I can. I can even download the files and gunzip then... looks like some hash mismatch, no idea why it's throwing this error, though [21:39] Flannel, can't [21:39] Is there anyway I can boot from the live cd have grub rewrite menu.lst? [21:39] Slart: Is it Finishings: cover? [21:39] and have* [21:40] soundray: well..sometimes life gives you lemons.. throw them at someone and at least get some joy out of them =) [21:40] a) 6.06LTS is the only thing I could both pxe install and auto script because of the headless blades b) needs to be a supported vmware server host c) they are very anal about not chanigng shit once it runs, even if it's broken [21:40] but since this is a new set I am thinking about upgrading anyways [21:40] erUSUL: no it does not [21:40] flyback: Again, the language. [21:40] danhs1: I was thinking more along the lines of "Starting Banner", or "Ending Banner" [21:41] I don't think that's it....but maybe [21:41] i'm about to drive into work and do a physical install of 8.04 and test against it [21:41] danhs1: in system, administration, printing [21:41] Hello there. [21:41] once I have the physical install done I can clone to the other blades [21:41] Slart: I see it.... [21:41] since I got a kvm module I have one blade in each set that actually has a head [21:41] can ubuntu install from usb cdrom? [21:42] flyback: If the computer can boot to it, yeah [21:42] !install | flyback [21:42] flyback: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [21:42] flyback: worked for me [21:42] cause the kvm module also adds a usb port :P [21:42] erUSUL: anything else I can try? [21:42] it's only 1.1 but it does work and is bootable [21:42] flyback: I think it depends more on the computer.. if it can boot from an usb cd-rom you should be able to install from it [21:42] how can i figure out what cpu i have? /proc/cpu doesn't tell me if i have a 51xx etc [21:42] Sara22: the module in question is normally installed as part of a modules package. Please try 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-ubuntu-modules-$(uname -r)' [21:42] i've seen linux distros where the computer can boot from usb cdrom but the distro had problems finding the cdrom [21:43] danhs1: ok.. I tried "starting banner" and it didn't work [21:43] :-p [21:43] I used to really be into low level linux then I kinda crashed and burned === eddie is now known as Guest59780 [21:43] quick question...how do you not let ubuntu install grub at the install [21:43] ok then it's decided [21:43] going to drive into work [21:43] vdsy: With the desktop or alternate/server CD? [21:43] click advacned at the last screen I think [21:43] make 2 physical installs of base 6.06LTS server and one of 8.04 LTS server [21:43] Slart: maybe job options --> common optoins --> more --> finishings --> cover [21:43] ? [21:44] and deselect write bootloader [21:44] once I get them imaged then I can do the rest of the workd remote [21:44] Flannel, desktop CD [21:44] mabye my 6.06 I origionally did just got damaged [21:44] erUSUL: ok done [21:44] Hi, in CentOS/Fedora I have /var/log/secure to view the ssh connections to my box, I don't see anything like it in Ubuntu [21:44] vdsy: Yes, what cbk486 said. Advanced at the last screen. [21:44] cbk486: you should make clear that this was for vdsy [21:44] sorry [21:45] wich is the most simple and easy-to-use and easy-to-install Speech Recognition Software for linux? [21:45] danhs1: well.. you can give it a try.. but I think that's stuff the printer might do to your printout afterwards.. stapling etc [21:45] thanx [21:45] Sara22: I'm confused -- did you mean me? [21:45] Flannel: weird, eh? Any other ideas? [21:46] Hi, in CentOS/Fedora I have /var/log/secure to view the ssh connections to my box, I don't see anything like it in Ubuntu [21:46] soundray: i am sorry yes!!! [21:46] soundray: yes I meant you :) [21:46] foo: oh, right, hash sum mismatch. I completely didn't see that. Have you checked bug reports about that? [21:46] Sara22: what exactly were you trying that gave you that error earlier? [21:47] Sara22: sorry have to attend th phone... [21:47] Slart: :-p [21:47] so how can I get coverpages in general? [21:47] Seems kinda of silly [21:47] danhs1: there's a setting in the printer properties you get when you print that says "cover page" [21:47] ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave aplay: main:546: audio open error: Device or resource busy how do i fix this? [21:47] When using a ssh connection with urxvt I get this when trying to start pine "Terminal type "rxvt-unicode" is unknown.".. What's causing this? When I log in I also get this tcsh: using dumb terminal settings. Any thoughts? [21:47] soundray: I was trying to get my wireless card to work [21:47] danhs1: with the same settings as in the system, adminsitration, printing dialog [21:47] Sara22: it is weird that you do not have the driver i have it and i use 8.04 too [21:47] erUSUL: its cool [21:47] erUSUL: sorry, I kind of took over and made her reinstall ubuntu-modules [21:47] Slart: does that coverpage work? [21:47] Hi does any one know how to clean a old files from a linux machine, in windows i use ccleaner and registry mechanic is there some thing close to that, and when i remove programes from synaptic does it delete it all thanks for the help [21:48] soundray: it is ok... [21:48] soundray: thanks! [21:48] Sara22: I understand that. I mean the exact command. [21:48] danhs1: yes, it does.. prints out a nice coverpage with username, time and other stuff [21:48] Slart: I really just need a separator page consistently.... [21:48] Hi! does anybody know how to install netbeans from repo with php and ftp export and import support? thx [21:48] Flannel: I googled around a little. I'll try again [21:49] soundray: did you mean what the output was? OK let me paste that [21:49] ah! auth.log! [21:49] Sara22: no, please [21:49] Sara22: I mean what command did you enter? Was it something like modprobe? [21:50] <|MUSE|> my firefox keeps opening into fullscreen mode. Sometimes I can even switch between 2 applications and it will turn on fullscreen mode. Is this a bug or a setting that I can not find anywhere, and how do I resolve the problem?

Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [22:18] Sara22: okay, let's build on that, then.

[22:20] adityag: The desktop CD is a liveCD, it doesn't have packages on it. The alternate CD will allow you to install from the CD [22:20] starenka ok thnx for info :) [22:21] adityag: Mind you, however, that even if you install from the CD, you'll need to upgrade to the latest packages. So you won't really save much bandwidth, if any. [22:21] Sara22: do you have nm-applet running? If you do, there will be a network symbol on the right of the top panel. [22:21] definitely: np [22:22] soundray: i dont know what the applet is. but I do have two monitor icons... and when I hover over them it says WIRED network connection [22:22] Flannel: okk [22:22] adityag: i think that kubuntu installer actually asks you if you want to migrate some file. i know that ubuntu installer does that. [22:23] does any one know of a alternative to cdlabel in ubuntu http://www.cdrlabel.com/ [22:23] Sara22: click on that and tell me if it shows anything about wireless networks (apart from the wired network item) [22:23] soundray, thank you, from that folder i found nvidia-xconfig which was able to set up my xorg.conf file for me works great now, thanks again [22:23] Krumar: wow, well done [22:23] !mono > opt1k [22:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about mono [22:23] soundray, you too, have a great day [22:23] Krumar: thanks [22:23] i swear these days nothing works in ubuntu or it's harder to set up in ubuntu than other distros.

[22:24] larson9999: yes, ubuntu makes everything a little harder. That's why it's the most popular distribution [22:24] adityag: it removed the packages you do not longer need [22:24] soundray: yes it lists my essid.. with a few bars. But when i chose that radio button for (wireless) and put in password along with WPA, it goes to zero [22:25] !kernel > opt1k [22:25] opt1k, please see my private message [22:25] Flannel, sure, why does it take fifty steps to get ffmpeg working?

[22:28] Flannel: how do i do that? via /msg? [22:28] Sara22: that's a difficult one [22:28] opt1k: yeah, just say the factoid in a query. [22:28] Flannel: ty [22:29] soundray: could it be that it wont work with WPA but will with WEP? I thought I read that somewhere [22:29] Is there a laptop version of Ubuntu ? [22:29] Sara22: it's possible, but I don't think so. If you change your router setup to WEP, take additional protection measures, like MAC filtering [22:30] SOG, no special CD for a laptop [22:30] SOG, but the normal one should work [22:30] soundray: hmm i really really want to use WPA cuz i just upgraded router to have it work with WPA [22:30] Sara22: how would waiting for the October release sound to you? Would you abandon Ubuntu in the meantime, or could you do with wired ethernet until then? [22:30] i am upgrading from ubuntu 7.04 to 8.04 but must upgrade to 7.10 first. should I just download an 8.04 disk and to a full instead of an in place upgrade ? [22:31] what_if: if in doubt, do a fresh installation [22:31] does anybody know why when i run teamspeak like this "padsp teamspeak" the sound is really buggy and chopy? for my mic and stuff but runing teamspeak normaling "teamspeak" using oss it works fine. i want to be able to hear my in game sound and people to hear me. and understand. if i recall i have ALSA or w/e which ever one comes with hardy. [22:31] soundray: if i must then I will wait. only thing is that the default theme is not as beautiful as the ones I seen on youtube that made me switch :) [22:31] I'm having some trouble with setting up dual screen. My second monitor is detected and I can edit the settings, but nothing gets displayed on the second monitor. It just remains in standby (on but no display). Using nvidia-settings [22:31] soundray: will do, downloading an 8.04 disk then :) [22:32] maniheer: but I have problems installing.. um... trying to find out what I can do now...

[22:41] soundray: ok thnkas i will try that [22:41] wineo: I believe you can use the ubuntu CD, but I've never personally gone that route. Easiest for me is just to use a gparted live CD.

[22:58] the other one is a pam error, but i think the problem is with the shell [22:59] Qster: sudo is not working. [22:59] josh-: /usr/bin/sudo su - [22:59] josh-: what shell are you on now? [22:59] zsh [22:59] I feel for you. [22:59] fyrestrtr: :D [22:59] ;-/ [22:59] anyway [22:59] josh-: just type /bin/bash [23:00] no dice on that [23:00] how do I enter the code view in GladeUI? [23:00] fyrestrtr: will e2fsck -b backup superblock /dev/sda1 work? [23:00] Hello - I can't make my soundcard works... [23:00] josh-: are you sure it's worth working on this badly hacked system? A reinstall might make everything nice and easy [23:00] Does anyone know how to get the IP address of the wireless access point you're connected to? [23:00] EruditeHermit: I don't know buddy, I never used it myself. === hmm is now known as kurt_ [23:01] josh-: what is the result after /bin/bash ? [23:01] hey how do i find ubuntu+1? [23:01] soundray: it was a simple mistake of some sort, this 'badly hacked system' was and still is a perfectly good system that has many happy users. :-) [23:01] mib_6c2p3th2: /join #ubuntu+1 [23:01] I'm a complety newbie and it's kinda makes me nervous... [23:01] mib_6c2p3th2: type /join #ubuntu+1 [23:01] thank you [23:01] spastic_teapot, 'route -n' it 'probly' is the gateway ip [23:01] soundray: it was a simple mistake of some sort, this 'badly hacked system' was and still is a perfectly good system that was working fine 20 minutes ago* and has many happy users. :-) [23:01] fyrestrtr: bash works okay for me [23:02] josh-: once you are in bash, type source /etc/profile [23:02] IS it possible to starta irssi with a constant size every time? (different from just the gnome-terminals size? [23:02] ok [23:02] Ok, I installed Cmake [23:02] with like some -geometry flag or w/e [23:02] Krauss: oh no, not you again [23:02] hazrd11: start it in its own shell.

May someone help me ?? [23:04] soundray: related to Cmake [23:04] i am way over my head [23:04] what happened when you typed that ip into the browser? [23:04] Krauss: aren't you installing it from the Ubuntu package? [23:04] jacklake: have you checked the LaptopTestingTeam pages to see if someone has already tested it on your notebook? [23:04] Krauss: 'sudo apt-get install lmms'? [23:04] soundray: Huh? I tried that. [23:05] soundray: lmms didn't show up [23:05] HAI [23:05] fyrestrtr: my apologies, the person i have trying to help has gone afk ;-/ [23:05] fyrestrtr well as I've said before - I'm kinda ENTERILY new at it... [23:05] well, you should go to the wiki and read some pages. [23:05] !Hardware [23:05] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [23:05] does anyone reccomend deluge fora good client or is there something better ? [23:05] soundray: Ohhh kay. it says lmms is already the newest version. [23:06] does the wiki help you if you have an olive screen after you login [23:06] fyrestrtr I don't even know what are you talking about... [23:06] soundray: But I can't find it [23:06] Krauss: Hit Alt-F2 and enter lmms [23:06] fyrestrtr, what do u mean by in its own shell? Oo I mean.. im starting it in a shell but everytime i start a shell the size gets set to its default..

[23:06] hazrd11: and in THAT, set your geometry as you like. [23:07] i c.. oO [23:07] hazrd11: make an icon and in the command window put your favourite shell with arguments for the size. [23:07] Read this: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/45095 [23:07] Anyone aggree? [23:07] any recommendations of some shell? [23:07] Krauss: not all programs install themselves to the menus. If you have one like this, on the example of lmms, do a 'dpkg -L lmms | grep bin' and it will show you the executable files [23:07] hazrd11: rxvt [23:07] hazrd11: rxvt-unicode [23:07] with zsh [23:07] ;-) [23:08] soundray, rodger that.

[23:11] is there a way to repair a filesystem table? [23:11] hehe [23:11] EruditeHermit: fsck /dev/(h|s)da [23:12] fsck rather [23:12] ... hello? [23:12] Thedjatclubrock: The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 14273744 blocks [23:12] The physical size of the device is 12446208 blocks [23:12] Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt! [23:12] EruditeHermit: fsck /path/to/disk [23:12] hello [23:12] EruditeHermit: Does it still work? [23:13] Thedjatclubrock: does what work? [23:13] EruditeHermit: The FS? [23:13] hi can any one help i was following some advice on the internet and now when i bootup i have to type startx does any one know how to get it back to normal [23:13] Thedjatclubrock: well I can mount it but it is really damaged [23:13] Thedjatclubrock: my files are missing [23:13] ps deleted alsa and reinstalled [23:13] darren_: most likely it is your gdm or kdm login managers that are not starting up. [23:13] Thedjatclubrock: how do I repair the partition table and superblock? [23:14] EruditeHermit: You can try fsck /path/to/disk/ -fy while unmounted, but your data status is questionable. [23:14] darren_: depends on what happened -- but try 'sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults' [23:14] ok thanks to you both will try it [23:15] thanks to soundray, i offered no decent advice. :p [23:16] josh-: hey, it's not my fault that you didn't offer decent advice ;) [23:16] Soundray ok when i type that i get sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults [23:17] Thedjatclubrock: private message [23:17] josh, answer this question and you will have helped someone... [23:17] ok lemme rephrase my question then, can some1 tell me about a good terminal [23:17] (ye the app) [23:17] i have a machine the HD will show up in BIOS but when i use the ubuntu installer it says there are no HD's in the system [23:17] but the ata controller does show up with 'lspci' [23:18] sloopy: what is the interface of the disk to the bus? [23:18] i have a problem tryng to put new programs al startup [23:18] ata-66 [23:18] test [23:18] kito0: for example? [23:19] pidgin [23:19] and you are not using any emulators in BIOS or something? Its not PATA pretending to be SATA pretending to be IDE? [23:19] gnome-do [23:19] kito0: you want to run pidgin automatically when you log in? [23:19] yes [23:20] nope plain pata all the way [23:20] kito0: go to System-Preferences-Session and add pidgin to the list of startup programs [23:20] err... hello there? I still need help? Don't wanna be annoying (I'm sure Am) but, guys, please. heelp me? [23:20] that is what i have done [23:20] jacklake: if you didn't get a response, just repeat your question after 15 minutes or so [23:21] but when i review it my entries dont apear [23:21] soundray - welll it's a start - THAKS a LOT!!!! ;) [23:21] hi all, wanting to go from my pc that has radeon 9250 (although lspci says 9200 pro) with s-video out into a tv with s-video input. When I try this, I do see text on the tv screen when first booting (very jumpy however) but when system loads the screen goes black. My cable is 4 pin (although I notice that from the graphics card there are seven holes for 7 pin cable)....any ideas? [23:21] jacklake: make sure you include as much info as you have in your question.. in other words make it easy for people to answer you [23:22] Was told not to go higher than 800 x 600....and keep refresh rate at 60 hz which is tv standard.....still no go? Any ideas? [23:22] is there something in ubuntu for tv out or using tv as second monitor???? [23:22] Dante123: I think there's a factoid for it... [23:22] !tvout | Dante123 [23:22] Dante123: For help with enabling the TV-Out, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOutNewbieEdition (Nvidia cards) or http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Tvout (ATI cards, *untested*) [23:23] Hello there - I've install ubuntu 64 bits at a notebook HP tx2075br AND the soundcard doesn't work. ALSO I'm complety newbie at it so don't send me to read something OR strange commands at places I might not even know it exist... I just want to make the sound work for a start ;) [23:23] Uh. oh...sounds like trouble [23:23] jacklake, when stuff doesnt work those are the places where the answers usually are... [23:23] jacklake: I'm not really good with ALSA (Alsa is the linux sound system ubuntu uses) but I can help you check if ALSA has found your soundcard or not [23:24] how do I know if it find or not? [23:24] jacklake: run this in a terminal "cat /proc/asound/cards" [23:24] Slart just a sec [23:24] jacklake: either you get nothing.. or a list of soundcards in your system [23:25] hi, does anyone know an application that can replace iTunes??? (particular the compress to 128kbps function of iTunes) ??? [23:25] Slart that's the answer - HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia [23:25] HDA NVidia at 0xc3020000 irq 17 [23:25] re === L is now known as Guest71824 [23:25] hello how can i log the commands that a remote user typed to my ssh server ? [23:25] kito0: please open a terminal and run 'tail -f ~/.xsession-errors'. Then go to the sessions dialog and see if any errors are shown in the terminal when you try to add pidgin to the startup list. === gnu is now known as Guest66969 [23:25] jacklake: ok, that's good.. don't paste stuff here in the channel.. you'll only get kicked for flooding [23:26] jacklake: so this means Alsa has found your card and identified it.. HDA-Intel is a very common sound chip these days.. it should work without much work === mySKi-deca is now known as deca` [23:28] ** (gnome-session-properties:7125): WARNING **: Could not save /home/** (gnome-session-properties:7125): WARNING **: Could not save /home/kito0/.config/autostart/pidgin.desktop file === aidinux-user85 is now known as feline [23:29] The sound is good when using Totem but stutters with VLC. I need to use VLC as totem does not handly my DVD well. Any suggestions on how to make VLC play nice? [23:29] kito0: I said "look". Do not paste error messages here [23:29] that's what it says === feline is now known as tigressepasdocil [23:29] ok [23:29] sorry [23:29] oing [23:30] so what can i do?

[23:30] WDC: tasksel [23:31] postfic [23:31] postfix [23:31] WDC, postfix is a really nice server. good documentation. [23:31] i don't know how to see that [23:31] Flannel: Is that POP3 and SMTP in one? [23:31] spunk: And same question [23:31] kito0: look at the output of the command. It will be obvious. [23:31] WDC: tasksel is a way to install stuff. But, what sort of mail server are you looking for? [23:32] WDC: no. I use Dovecot for IMAP. [23:32] WDC: Looking to recieve and send? or just one? or what? [23:32] kito0: does it contain "root root" or "kito0 kito0"? [23:32] Flannel: Just a basic personal deal. POP3 and SMTP [23:32] WDC: ah, you want dovecot [23:32] 'kito0 kito0' [23:32] can anyone help me to fix a partition table and a bad superblock? [23:32] * WDC looks at dovecot [23:32] Flannel: Does it have a GUI? [23:33] WDC: No, It's a mail server. [23:33] Flannel: Well it could [23:33] * danielm_m1 hates cedega [23:33] WDC: to do what? [23:33] WDC: another suggestion would be squirrelmail. [23:33] I can never ever ever seem to set up anything like a daemon that is terminal based [23:34] WDC: its actually really easy. You shouldn't have to do much, if any configuration. [23:34] EruditeHermit: you're in a bad mess. Your filesystem is corrupted, and you don't have a backup. Any attempt to fix it could ruin it completely. I think that's why people are reluctant to help you. [23:34] Flannel: I'll check it out for sure [23:34] soundray: any attempt is ok, I know It might not work [23:34] soundray: not going to blame anyone but myself for this [23:34] whats up with your system? [23:35] EruditeHermit: did you attempt to resize your filesystem? [23:35] soundray: Yes he did [23:35] soundray: yes [23:35] what did you use> [23:35] fedora installation CD [23:35] ehh [23:35] wanted to try it out [23:35] Flannel: Thanks [23:35] while keeping my ubuntu partition [23:35] didn't work so well [23:35] yeh i can imagine [23:35] I can mount it [23:36] but my home directory is shown as unknown file [23:36] soundray: it says 'kito0 kito0' [23:36] All of the videos I try to watch with the default program "Movie Player" are laggy and don't have any audio. This only happened after I ran the upgrade for Hardy Heron. How can I fix this? [23:36] Is there a place I can download the current ibex testing kernel? There is a bug I would like to test, but I don't want to upgrade my entire system yet. [23:36] How can I delete all my compiz settings from gconf? [23:36] Kris07: Try sudo apt-get install totem-xine [23:37] Kris07: Try sudo apt-get remove totem-gstreamer first. [23:37] Thedjatclubrock, Okay [23:37] hi, i'm ender... and i've been clean 39 days... no windows. [23:37] i would just like to say, whoever helps out regularly in this channel .. you are saints. [23:37] Does anyone here know how to set your computer to a static IP address from the command line? [23:38] my only two answers would be 1. google it 2. use debian [23:38] heh [23:38] josh-: I agree with you [23:38] spastic_teapot: you have to disable network manager first [23:38] soundray, danielm_m1, any suggestions or do I have to let this one go? === Silentking is now known as mwalkerii [23:38] kito0: try this: 'sudo chown -R kito0:kito0 /home/kito0/.config', then try adding pidgin again, and see if that error message changes. [23:38] spastic_teapot: man ifconfig man 5 interfaces [23:38] spastic_teapot: run "pkill nm-applet" in a terminal [23:38] EruditeHermit: there are essentially two possibilities. Either one could be badly wrong and irreversible. [23:38] However this channel should be more visible to beginners [23:39] EruditeHermit: one is to try and use a program like gpart or testdisk to recover the partition table. [23:39] Most people who need help with Ubuntu don't even know about this channel [23:39] spastic_teapot: then you either have to use the ifconfig command, or the ip command. Or, you can edit /etc/network/interfaces [23:39] soundray: what is option #2? [23:39] spastic_teapot: ifconfig is probably the simplest [23:39] Thedjatclubrock, It's installed. What next? [23:39] I can't see CDs. I installed Xubuntu off the same drive I want to use, but when I got to mount it just hangs [23:40] Kris07: Try watching whatever again [23:40] EruditeHermit: the other would be to boot off a live CD and run 'sudo e2fsck -y /dev/hda1' (or whatever the devicename of your broken partition is) [23:40] Flannel: I swear it is to hard to configure dovecot in a hurry. Is there something that just, works? [23:40] how do i create a share in command-line seeing as how i don't have access to do it in gnome.... [23:40] soundray: I tried the fsck off the live CD which I am talking to you from and that didn't work [23:40] WDC: er... What are you having trouble with? [23:40] soundray: should I try the testdisk? [23:40] Flannel: It just won't start [23:40] spastic_teapot: man ifconfig ... man 5 interfaces [23:40] Flannel: Sez invalid config [23:41] EruditeHermit: how do you mean "didn't work"? [23:41] SchmittyDoesIt: Do you mean a Windows file share? [23:41] soundray: i think that worked!!! [23:41] soundray: I keep getting error reading block xxxxx (Invalid argument) while getting next inode from scan. Ignore error? [23:41] thank you very much [23:41] soundray: when I do an fsck [23:41] WDC: alright, what packages did you install? and, pastebin /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf [23:41] kapat: no samba share between two ubuntu boxes [23:42] kito0: you're welcome [23:42] I can't see CDs. I installed Xubuntu off the same drive I want to use, but when I got to mount it just hangs [23:42] Flannel: common and pop3d. COnfig file is all commented, and I have no idea what to uncomment [23:42] SchmittyDoesIt: You can edit /etc/samba/smb.conf to add shares without a gui [23:42] WDC: basically, you need to make a few choices before it knows what to do. But there isn't any huge configuration required. [23:42] WDC: Did you want IMAP as well? [23:42] Flannel: Nah just POP3 [23:42] soundray: to which I keep hitting y, and it continues but there are many many errors [23:42] now if you coul tell me what we just do i'll be very happy :-D [23:42] SchmittyDoesIt: man smb.conf should tell you how [23:42] Kris07: Any betterr? [23:43] WDC: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Dovecot walks you through it, if you want a webpage, but you can ask questions here too. [23:43] kapat: but isn't there a command like 'net share' [23:43] soundray: if i use the -y option it fails before it starts the check because it says The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 14273744 blocks [23:43] The physical size of the device is 12446208 blocks [23:43] Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt! [23:43] Thedjatclubrock, it worked, but then it lagged out. I had to Force Quit the program. === RipperX is now known as JackDReaper [23:43] Kris07: Odd [23:43] Is there any way for me to use VLC on FireFox? [23:43] EruditeHermit: okay, now have a glance at the web pages for gpart (note, not gparted) and testdisk. Understand what they do, and follow your gut feeling which one might be better suited for your problem. [23:43] Kris07: I am unaware. [23:44] Thedjatclubrock, Okay [23:44] SchmittyDoesIt: Are you trying to mount a share or create one? There is a net command, but it doesn't implement all the functionality that the windows one does. You can try it. [23:44] Flannel: When I type dovecot in terminal it sez it is already running. How can I kill it? [23:44] create one [23:44] kapat: create one [23:44] EruditeHermit: you can also install both programs into your live system and look at their docs under /usr/share/doc/{testdisk,gpart} [23:44] soundray: I've had success with testdisk before, do they both perform the same task? [23:44] WDC: You don't type dovecot, you'll use the init script (/etc/init.d/dovecot restart) [23:44] Kris07: what do you want to do? [23:44] hmm [23:44] SchmittyDoesIt: You can look at man net, but I have never done it that way so I don't know if it will work [23:45] SchmittyDoesIt: looks like there is a net share add command tho [23:45]  I want to compare/diff/merge two files, what's the best tool available in Gnome desktop? [23:45] naknomik: diff [23:45] Josh-, watch streaming vids. [23:45] EruditeHermit: I think testdisk has more functionality. gpart is highly specialized to fixing partition tables. But it's been years since I've had trouble like that... I guess my backup strategy works [23:45] anyone know how to do proper filesystem level backups of filesystems that have acl support enabled? tar doesnt seem to backup the access control lists at all [23:45] josh: :-) thanks. I was looking for something on the lines of diff-merge module in emacs [23:46] Kris07: im not going to look in my firefox options for you, but i bet if you do you can find something along the lines of *.swf 'open with' etc etc [23:46] Josh-, Okay [23:46] naknomik: emacs diff-merge is unbeatable IMO [23:46] WHY does nautilus yield no file browser [23:47] I am sick of spending time doing unrelated things to do something [23:47] hummm looks like I need to download emacs then, it doesn't come default on Ubuntu desktop [23:47] Does anyone know this - E: main.c: daemon startup failed [23:47] Ubuntu is so non-object oriented [23:48] naknomik: that's right, a major shortcoming :) [23:48] jacklake: pulse? [23:48] hi [23:48] mgolisch what pulse should be? [23:48] jacklake: is this when starting pulseaudio? [23:48] mgolisch it's something to be with my soundcard??? [23:48] mgolisch YEAH!!! [23:49] mgolisch I can't make it work :( [23:49] jacklake: did you edit the config file? [23:49] mgolisch nope - I'm very new at all this :( [23:49] mgolisch should I? [23:49] jacklake: well really in my opinion pulseaudio isn't even really ready yet so I tend to switch back to Alsa for default stuff [23:50] hey soundray got a minute? ;p [23:50] jacklake: maybe its allready running or something or there is still some pulse audio client launched, i had problems too when there were clients allready launched when starting pulseaudio [23:50] kitche I'm gonna try [23:50] well should then I re-statrt system???? [23:50] josh-: (reluctantly) yeess? [23:50] how do i get to use the deludge web interface .. once i have already .. checked the box tohave the web interface plug in enabled? i am hoping to open it in fire fox; any help would greatly be appreciated [23:51] Flannel: have you got a minute? [23:51] josh-: you need both Flannel and me? [23:51] josh-: Best to just ask a question, and anyone who knows will answer [23:52] Josh-, Nope. I don't see anything [23:52] sorry i thought you were helping me out earlier, with my issue.. i scrolled up and saw that was not so. [23:52] Flannel: its just hard to explain everything all over and over and over [23:52] join #ubuntu-ro [23:53] Does anyone know how to get the MAC address of the access point I am connected to? [23:53] josh: then maybe you should type it up and paste the text to paste.ubuntu.com and then share the link with whoever helps.. It would be a shortcut. [23:53] so we have now run /bin/bash; source /etc/profile; /usr/bin/sudo su - ... entered the password and its telling us "Cannot execute bash: No such file or directory" [23:53] soundray Flannel ^_^ === Guest14027 is now known as Brucee [23:54] Scunizi: good idea :-) [23:54] man i can't find out how to login as root, there was a spot last time that i had to checkmark said something like 'allow administrator login' i can't find it anymore. i ned to login as root [23:54] josh-: what do you get from a 'grep root /etc/passwd'? [23:54] SchmittyDoesIt: you can't use "sudo" to get things done? [23:55] nope. no one here knows how. i need to crate a samba share. righlt clicking the folder and sharing it would get things done. [23:55] soundray: root:x:0:0:root:/root:bash [23:55] i never has this problem with and other flavor of linux. [23:56] josh, why sudo su - ?? [23:56] Is ther ANY POP3/SMTP server that has a GUI and doesn't take forever to configure for Linux? [23:56] SchmittyDoesIt: You can log in as root if you set the root password first. "sudo passwd" [23:56] SchmittyDoesIt: umm you do know there is a gksu filemanager in your menu right? [23:56] SchmittyDoesIt: then you can "sudo nautilus" to give you a root file manager that you can use to right mouse click and change permissions.. if you want.. [23:56] kapat: Is the string of letters and numbers "00:13:e8:b1:76:e7" next to HWaddr when I run ifconfig the MAC address of the connection? [23:56] I'm sick of wasting time doing unrelated things to do somethign simple [23:56] WDC: I don't think so, no [23:56] unop: we are just trying to get root at this point, the shell has been borked. :-/ [23:56] SchmittyDoesIt: actually gksu or gksudo nautilus [23:56] #heidelberg [23:56] spasticteapot: yes [23:56] WDC: dovecot takes maybe two minutes to configure. [23:56] Slart: Sometimes Windows IS better than Linux. Most of the time not though [23:56] kapat: The MAC address of the card, or the AP I am connected to? [23:56] josh-: that'll be the problem. You need to reboot, choose recovery mode, edit /etc/password and change that line to read root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash [23:56] where is gksudo? [23:57] Flannel: Can I get your conf file? I am just wasting my time trying to figure out what to uncomment [23:57] SchmittyDoesIt: use the terminal and do it.. it will open the file manager as root [23:57] josh-: does that make sense? [23:57] soundray: once I have rewritten the partition table [23:57] spasticteapot: that is the mac of your network card. To see the mac of the access point you are connected to, look at iwconfig [23:57] yes thank you very much soundray [23:57] how do i compile with g++ in ubuntu hardy? [23:57] soundray: what do I do? do I do the fsck again? [23:57] soundray, josh - make that /etc/passwd :) [23:57] EruditeHermit: yes [23:57] !compile | fwaokda [23:57] fwaokda: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [23:57] WDC: did you check that wiki page? [23:58] Flannel: Yes, another waste of my time [23:58] Åñòü êòî òóò ðóññêèé? :) [23:58] Scunizi: it just open up a run box to run something as root [23:58] unop: thanks. josh-, you know what I meant, didn't you? [23:58] soundray: I still get the bad superblock problem, is there a way to replace the superblock with the backup ones? === JackDReaper is now known as IDontSpeakEnglis [23:58] knowone here knows the command-line off the share [23:58] !ru | Tecktis [23:58] Tecktis: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [23:58] i need to open of nautilis [23:58] fwaokda: g++ *is* the compiler [23:58] WDC: pastebin your config file, and we'll do it together. And it'snot a waste of your time, but your attitude is getting annoying. [23:58] SchmittyDoesIt: type... gksudo nautilus [23:58] fwaokda: nvm the last line, i'm tired and not reading correctly [23:59] opt1k, k [23:59] Flannel: Okay, i'm sorry. It's just EVERY SINGLE THING i do in Linux requires another hour just to configure something, or get this package, or that package or learn how to do this or that [23:59] EruditeHermit: yes, I think 'man e2fsck' will tell you how. It could be something like "-b 8192" [23:59] Flannel: I'm sorry I really am [23:59] fwaokda: what you need to do is go to terminal and type "g++ " (without the quotation marks ofc) [23:59] so far so good [23:59] soundray: ok, I've tried with all the backup superblocks and I get the same message [23:59] WDC: do you remember when you first started using WinXX? almost the same thing.. takes time
