When I use the comptuer after a while, for no apparent reason my videos/sound stop working. It has also happened to me that, say, a firefox active window turns gray, and then it kind of freezes, like if the graphics card were having an issue. Any help? THanks [00:09] hein?

[00:13] i apologize for asking this here, but maybe someone can point me in right direction.. is there a #windowshelp channel somewhere? [00:13] im not sure if dragging, but if i clicked on a window that was minimized, it wouldnt come back [00:13] im using transmission and i set it to put torrents in the Video folder [00:13] Help, I don't have any toolbars in gnome how do I show them [00:13] need help with updating ubuntu. can I upgrade to a current derivative (like gOS) from 6.06LTS?

[00:13] no sound, that is [00:13] badfish: and do not expect to rubb that on ##windows without getting contradicted... is like those dudes were brain-washed to love windows or something... [00:13] Bsims: disable desktop effects and see if htey come back. [00:14] mib_upbly9ik: gOS is not a derivative of Ubuntu that we support. [00:14] woli: although that doensn't usually happen, it has happened two times now, but the main problem is that video/sound stop working after a while === myles7897` is now known as myles7897 [00:14] Pici: thanks [00:14] farva: whats your wireless device [00:14] Pici ok. what derivatives are supported? [00:14] amt2: what do you mean with video? the whole screen or impossibility to play videos (like youtube) ? [00:14] they do if I disable desktop effects [00:14] mib_upbly9ik: Ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu, gobuntu, edubuntu. [00:15] amt2: what are you using to route audio? PC speakers, a stereo in aux mode.... ? [00:15] but I thought I'd try a blank gnome like a new user would [00:15] why is Linux better than Vista? [00:15] mib_upbly9ik Ubuntu not derivatives [00:15] woli: for instnace in youtube, if i click play, the video runs for like maybe less than a second, then it doesnt keep playing, as if it were paused [00:15] arc_ offtopic [00:15] arc_: in every way.... [00:15] arc_: Try #ubuntu-offtopic for something like that.

[00:15] not being able to minimize or maximize things suck [00:15] woli: im in a laptop [00:15] Bsims: i just told you something to try.. [00:15] where do I go to do that... [00:15] amt2: goto system > preferences > sound [00:15] Pici gotcha. and can one go to something like gobuntu 8.04 from ubuntu 6.06? [00:15] not famillar with gnome [00:16] and tell me which mixer are you using... [00:16] Bsims: system/pref/appearance/visual effects tab.. set it to none, and see if the toolbars comeback. [00:16] woli: it says HDA Intel (Alsa mixer) [00:16] mib_upbly9ik: I suppose, I don't think there is a gobuntu 6.06 though. [00:16] Bingo [00:16] amt2: in every slot? [00:16] Bsims: using nvidia? [00:17] amt2: sorry. not only the mixer, but every other chooser/slot [00:17] woli: no, i have Autodetect, Autodetect, Autodetect, CONEXANT Analog, HDA intel [00:17] Yeah IndyGunFreak [00:17] amt2: set everything to alsa [00:17] Pici ok, thanks [00:17] amt2: and test it afterwards [00:17] Bsims: try asking in #compiz-fusion I know that "used" to be a problem w/ Nvidia/Compiz.. but honestly, i thought it was resolved.. [00:18] woli: what abotu the 'Device' slot? several say Alsa [00:18] amt2: leave it as it is (alsa mixer) [00:18] I had to make a selection in the visual settings to get it to take [00:18] Now it works [00:18] woli: ok... done [00:18] amt2: it is already in alsa [00:18] hi, does anyone know of any packages for transcribing handwriting to text? I just got a wacom tablet working :) [00:18] amt2: did the tests work fine? [00:18] I should probably report a bug because thats reallly annoying [00:19] Bsims: its not a bug. [00:19] <^Phantom^> do i even need a software firewall for ubuntu if i already have a hardware one? [00:19] Transmission Is putting all of my downloads on my Desktop, but I told it to put them in the Videos folder, how do i fix this? [00:19] !firewall [00:19] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [00:19] woli: no, they dont. I get: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. Device is being used by another application. [00:19] IndyGunFreak: well I'd file it under wishlist [00:19] Bsims: whatever... [00:19] amt2: i used to get that error.... [00:20] woli: how did you fix it? [00:20] <^Phantom^> k thx [00:20] Hrm while I am thinking about it... I can play videos full screen in vlc under gnome, but can not under kde, or wmaker [00:20] amt2: trying to remember... [00:20] When I put my system into standby, upon resume compiz doesn't function properly under KDE. My shadows become messed up. [00:20] is there anyone?? [00:21] amt2: are you in hardy (8.04) ? [00:21] Transmission Is putting all of my downloads on my Desktop, but I told it to put them in the Videos folder, how do i fix this? [00:21] woli: chances are if i rebooted and did the tests, they would work with the new settings... [00:21] woli: yes [00:21] i added a domain in plesk panel and i want to see this in my local computer [00:21] amt2: do that... [00:21] i hope i couldn explain [00:21] Does anyone have experience with dmraid? [00:21] woli: but i think ive done that and i got a different error after a while, so i just switched back. i don't remember what the error was tho [00:21] farva: do you kno what wireless device you have [00:21] There is a folder in Windows/system32 called hosts and i was adding domain name and ip adress than it was working [00:22] but now, i am using ubuntu and don't know how to do this [00:22] how do you cleanly shut down a machine when "# halt" just returns (as root) [00:22] I can play videos full screen in vlc under gnome, but can not under kde, or wmaker, any ideas [00:22] amt2: nvm, do it to see what happens... those settings work right away, but maybe it can do a change in your case... [00:22] hml, shutdown -h now [00:22] <_Zeus_> hml: sudo shutdown -h now [00:22] woli: ok... let me try it... brb [00:22] man shutdown [00:22] kindofabuzz , _Zeus_ that also just returns [00:22] anyone know of a strange issue where an extra interface shows up after a reboot? [00:22] I'm having issues loading my raid 5 array on ich9r, ran dmraid to install using live cd but once rebooted won't mount anything or load the kernel [00:23] hml, shutdown -P now [00:23] Transmission Is putting all of my downloads on my Desktop, but I told it to put them in the Videos folder, how do i fix this? [00:23] errr extra network interface [00:23] logged in as root, both "halt" and "shutdown -h now" do nothing -- they just return; is there a way I can tell the linux kernel to flush all disks + shut down? [00:23] hml, shutdown -P now will power off the machine after it halts [00:23] hml, sudo shutdown -P now, and read over man shutdown [00:23] kindofabuzz Macrosoft : shutdown -P now <-- also just returns [00:23] maysomebody help me [00:23] help ubuntu dont start and give me "ubuntu is running in low resolution and it cant detect my dispaly " if i chose a dispaly is hang " [00:24] hml, something is wrong then [00:24] hml, may be an acpi thing [00:24] hml: try init 6, should restart [00:24] so what to do> [00:24] hml, is the system already halted? [00:25] pull out the power cord? [00:25] no i get the terminal [00:25] no, i'm talking to you over irssi on it [00:25] root@x:~# halt; shutdown -H now; shutdown -P now; [00:25] root@x:~# [00:25] woli: ok.. im back [00:25] hml, dont run halt [00:25] amt2: run the tests again... [00:25] help ubuntu dont start and give me "ubuntu is running in low resolution and it cant detect my dispaly " if i chose a dispaly is hang " [00:25] hml, its just one command: sudo shutdown -P now [00:26] woli: i get the same error with the tests, yet im able to hear sound if say i watch a video on youtbube [00:26] Hey! I'm trying to write to an external NTFS drive, but it is apparently read-only. I don't have write-access to the files or folders, but chmod isn't working. Any ideas? [00:27] woli: actually if i close the youtube vidoe, now the tests are working [00:27] aeolien: mybook ? [00:27] aeolien, ntfs usually mounts with root being the owner, so you need to use sudo [00:27] hey guys, my system has 512mb of ram and i've got about 5mb free. i'm just noticing that my 1gb swap is using only around 15mb - is that normal? [00:28] im thinkin bout changin my os from windows to ubuntu... wot do u some people think about this??? worth it or not? [00:28] ianq yes [00:28] danielm_mc: what's the point of swap if the system's using all my ram and running slow? :wonder: [00:29] brenda:it sure is [00:29] Macrosoft: No, sudo simply tells me "chmod: changing permissions of `dcpp': Read-only file system" [00:29] amt2: only if you close it? [00:29] Brenda: it depends on what you plan on using ubuntu for [00:29] danielm_mc: No, Lacie [00:29] woli: yes, seems like it [00:29] brenda:i only have ubuntu on my computer [00:29] Hey I have a qucik question, is it possible to remove the little icon on the top left of the screen, the one beside "Applications", its the orange foot in this screenshot http://i34.tinypic.com/eh0qyd.png [00:29] aeolien, you'll have to umount, then mount it as rw [00:30] is it a known bug that freshly installed programs dont show up in their applications folder although editing the main menu shows all tickboxes correctly? [00:30] dr3mro: you have to restore/fix your xorg.conf [00:30] ianq:watchin films, writing code and various other things [00:30] maybe [00:30] * genii wonders why you'd want to remove the Gnome logo from Gnome [00:30] Macrosoft: When I try to umount it, the device is busy. I'm having trouble finding whatever is using it [00:30] dr3mro: do this: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:30] genii: well cause it doesn't fit ^^ [00:30] Brenda: films and writing code is pretty platform independent. you'd be fine switching [00:31] dr3mro: either fix it, or use the restoration comand provided in the file [00:31] aeolien, does the drive have a led that flashes when it is busy? is it flashing? [00:31] amt2: if you open it again it stops working? [00:31] just a question how do you make the 3d cube change your desktop ? [00:31] ianq: evrything and anything i can really and i have seen the support u get from wineapp as well and i am quite impressed by it all [00:31] Macrosoft: No led, but I can hear it when it's being used. It's very idle right now [00:31] Brenda: go ahead and switch then ;) [00:31] lacy: go to System > Preferences > Advance Desktop.... [00:31] brenda:i could do anything in ubuntu that i could do in windows [00:31] hey folks, how can i convert a .3gp to mpg [00:32] lacy: then look for the cube and its settings [00:32] aeolien, then you should be able to force it to unmount by adding "-o force" to the end of your umount command [00:32] woli: the sound is working if i watch a youtube vidoe, but the tests throw the error if i do them while playing the vidfeo. if i close the video, then the tests work. [00:32] amt2: all of them? [00:32] how do i check what graphic card my system is running? [00:32] thieblude: that sounds great i think i might do it now!:P [00:32] aeolien, without the quotation marks, that is [00:32] woli: actually, i just opened and close the video again, and now the tests dont work, none of them [00:32] brenda:i run ubuntu with fluxbox [00:33] woli: oh, but it may be becuase i need to close and open again the sound preferences window [00:33] woli: now they're all wokring again [00:33] amt2: you either reask or search for solutions online, because i'm not an expert, and do not remember how i fixed that... [00:33] I'm trying to find a way to monitor my bandwidth within two dynamic periods of time, and ideally, to kill my internet connection when I come close to either limit [00:33] Macrosoft, Still, I'm getting umount: /media/Lacie: device is busy [00:33] amt2: your browser is firefox? === circs is now known as Circs [00:34] woli: yes [00:34] Macrosoft: I might have to kill nautilus and do it from the tty [00:34] i know there are a few pieces of software to do the former, are there any easy ways to do the latter? [00:34] woli when i click on ctrl+alt and right mouse button i can flip the screen but no 3d cube appears [00:34] woli: someone directed me to a forum that had the same solution as you have, swithc eveyrhtign to ALSA [00:34] amt2: if you have not modified your xorg.conf for anything, i would suggest you to reset it [00:34] woli: i dont think i have [00:34] hey guys my friend gave me a ubuntu 5.10 cd today but i ntice its terrible wout date [00:34] lacy: thats in the Advanced Desktop Settings [00:34] I'm not sure what I did wrong but I can't make Emerald theme manager work any help? [00:35] aeolien, try -f instead of -o force [00:35] woli: where is that file located? [00:35] amt2: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:35] woli, can i send you the file so you can figure it out [00:35] look for the last line with # (or a close one) that tells how to reset the xorg.conf [00:35] woli: ok.... [00:35] What do I need to install to get a wireless connection GUI for Gnome? [00:35] Odd... I get this: "umount2: Device or resource busy" followed by that same line [00:35] dr3mro: which file? [00:35] woli, u did reset it but nothing -xorg.conf [00:36] Ketrel: there is already a connection settings thing... under System [00:36] Macrosoft (sorry): Odd... I get this: "umount2: Device or resource busy" followed by that same line [00:36] woli: so should i do 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' ? [00:36] aeolien, what device is it? [00:36] Macrosoft; Should be /dev/sdc2 [00:36] Transmission Is putting all of my downloads on my Desktop, but I told it to put them in the Videos folder, how do i fix this? [00:36] dr3mro: just run the reseting command in the file (like in the last line with #) [00:36] amt2: do it [00:36] woli, i did and its the same [00:37] dr3mro: the same as amt2's ? [00:37] You can't un-mount when you are for instance looking at the contents of the mount in a file browser or have the command prompt sitting in the directory you want to un-mount [00:37] dr3mro: ah.. you already did it?

But looks like not [00:37] amt2: i mean, reboot [00:37] aeolien, and what did the line you typed to unmount it look like? [00:37] bill_bill, depends, for what? [00:37] bill_bill: it's decent. it depends on your connection and what you're used to [00:38] where is my apt index?

[00:38] aeolien, looks right [00:38] woli: I installed it within kubuntu, so I'm not sure if there is, as there's certainly nothing running [00:38] dr3mro: send again [00:39] Hmmm.... I think the -l option worked [00:39] thanks woli i figured it out :) [00:39] aeolien, run gnome-system-monitor, and click the file systems tab [00:39] aeolien: Um, you umount the mountpoint and not the dev [00:39] whats the best way to clean a cd [00:39] genii, you can unmount the dev [00:39] <_Zeus_> bill_bill: with cd cleaner stuff? [00:39] genii: I've been trying it both ways... it normally has been working both ways [00:39] dr3mro: it failed... i dont know why [00:39] <_Zeus_> if you have it [00:39] wich i dont [00:39] When ever I am typing my scrollwheel gets activated.

[00:43] Slokunshialgo: a deb?.. dunno.. can you download and compile the source code? [00:43] myles7897, what do you mean gets activated? [00:43] aeolien, what path where you mounting it to? [00:43] <_Zeus_> Infinite88: alt+f2 [00:43] Macrosoft: I have the pkg ntfs-config [00:43] <_Zeus_> sry [00:43] Macrosoft: /media/Lacie [00:43] _Zeus_, :) [00:43] anyone know how to activate direct rendering for Intel 82845G? === miki_ is now known as miki_x [00:43] How do I get to the control center, I do not have it under System [00:44] like, when I scroll, using the middle button while on the desktop I switch workspaces, same thing happens when typing. or on a website it'll scroll to the top. [00:44] woli, http://paste.ubuntu.com/47915/plain/ [00:44] IndyGunFreak: Somehow never thought of that, but it's old enough it's hard to find any downloads on their official site [00:44] <_Zeus_> Ketrel: are you using x/k/ubuntu? [00:44] Q: how do i stop EVMS? [00:44] aeolien, then try sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc2 /media/Lacie rw [00:44] Slokunshialgo: i dion't know, you'll rpobably have better luck compiling it from source, rather than finding a .deb file [00:44] can xubuntui run on a mac with a power pc cpu [00:44] <_Zeus_> bill_bill: i think so, if you get the right cd image [00:44] _Zeus_ kubuntu, but I installed ubuntu-desktop [00:44] so I am in gnome [00:45] DCPom, like, when I scroll, using the middle button while on the desktop I switch workspaces, same thing happens when typing. or on a website it'll scroll to the top. [00:45] myles7897, have you tried another mouse to see if it's a mouse problem or a system problem? [00:45] i saw your message [00:45] bill_bill: just make sure it as "ppc" in place if "i386" [00:45] bill_bill: if you get the right image, but Ubuntu stopped support for the PPC after 7.10, might be better to loook at Debian Etch [00:45] cool now i have a use for my old G3 [00:45] * myles7897 was making sure [00:45] woli, i want to add that i cant do retsart or shutdown there is no options to do that when i restrtx [00:45] a G3/ [00:45] bill_bill: You still have a G3? How old is that thing? [00:45] DCPom, I have not, I figured it was the system, cause it has not always happened, it started recently. [00:45] dr3mro: did you run the sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [00:45] yet? [00:45] <_Zeus_> Ketrel: what are you trying to change? [00:45] anything [00:45] idk i bought it for 50 bucks [00:45] had a dvd drive [00:45] Macrosoft: Oh wow. Lemme paste this...

[00:46] myles7897, if it's started recently it could be the mouse getting old, though it may be system [00:46] _Zeus_ ultimately I want to autostart something, but I do wish to get to the control center [00:46] myles7897, try another mouse to see if it still happens [00:46] aeolien, dont worry about it, the command i gave was wrong [00:46] <_Zeus_> Ketrel: there is no control center in GNOME [00:46] can i move an ubuntu install from one harddrive to another? [00:47] <_Zeus_> it's all in Preferences or Administration [00:47] _Zeus_ : Thanks, I've used it before [00:47] bill_bill: is it running OS X or OS9? (Just for personal interest) [00:47] yes nothing happened same [00:47] <_Zeus_> desaints: you will need to change /etc/fstab, but yet [00:47] os 9 [00:47] <_Zeus_> aeolien: just making sure we don't have a repeat of last time :P [00:47] desaints, it won't work without several fixes [00:47] woli , i have no shutdown or restart buttons [00:47] hi, i'm looking for a tool to 'react' to log events (from apache for instance) in real time, in python, i'm not really sure about the ideal strategy for this kind of thing, logwatch doesn't look like realtime [00:47] aeolien, try sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc2 /media/Lacie -o force rw [00:47] dr3mro: do you have terminal available ? [00:47] desaints, mostly to do with /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst [00:47] OS9, lol [00:48] _Zeus_: then 1. what the heck is the gnome-control-center program, and 2 what's this: http://lunapark6.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/gnomecontrolcenter-00.jpg [00:48] all thow i do have a os x cd i use for hacking my high school root pass word still havent done it but one day [00:48] ompaul: would it be easier to just start over with ubuntu on fresh install? [00:48] dr3mro: you can also shutdown from the system menu [00:48] Macrosoft: Still... [00:48] bill_bill: Well, if you can get a PPC image, you may have some fun trying to install it [00:48] no [00:48] <_Zeus_> Ketrel: no idea, some bustom installed thing [00:48] <_Zeus_> is that what yours looks like? [00:48] <_Zeus_> *custom [00:48] Macrosoft: http://paste.ubuntu.com/47917/ [00:48] "fun" [00:48] dr3mro: sudo reboot [00:48] desaints, almost, depends on how much your stuff has been changed [00:49] i wish they had linux pre installed on more computers [00:49] desaints, if you have not done a lot then I would say yes, if you have nothing of value there [00:49] can anyone help with finding bandwidth monitors that provide alerts or simply cut off internet connections [00:49] bill_bill: I'm thinking BootCamp, but realized that doesn't exist on the PPCs anyways [00:49] ya i know [00:49] woli, the option is not there [00:49] me too, bill_bill [00:49] ompaul: nothing much but im new to linux and i hate to redo things ;) [00:49] dr3mro: sudo reboot [00:49] woli ,i have suspend and logg off swirchuser but no shutdown or restart [00:50] woli, im back [00:50] aeolien, try it with a comma between force and rw [00:50] <_Zeus_> desaints: yeah, just you will need to definately change /etc/fstab, probably /boot/grub/menu.lst [00:50] sudo reboot is my favorite command [00:50] <_Zeus_> lol [00:50] Macrosoft: Nope... [00:50] desaints, you get more familiar with the install process and become more comfortable with the whole lot - an interesting experience if nothing else [00:50] dr3mro: reboot! [00:50] woli: something weird happened with this reboot, it seems like my display in general looks different... ie, some effects are not showing up... say when i close a terminal, before it has like some 'fade out' effect, now it's not there [00:50] aeolien, whats it say now? [00:50] Same Message [00:51] dr3mro: open the terminal and enter: sudo reboot [00:51] question how do you change the background of the cube ? [00:51] hehe can i put ubuntu on a mac se/30 i have [00:51] ompaul: im dumping vista off of my 200gb ide drive and using UBUNTU 8 as my new main OS [00:51] lol [00:51] amt2: thats normal... compiz is not enabled by default... [00:51] ompaul: trying to get used to linux more, im too much of a ms whore if you know what i mean lol [00:51] amt2: configure that again [00:51] trying to get my screensaver to activate while on battery power, but can't find a gconf key for it. apparently it is an intended feature to just blank on battery, but how do i turn it off? [00:51] amt2: does the sound work? [00:51] woli: compiz? how do i do that [00:51] _Zeus_: then why do I have the gnome-control-panel PROGRAM present? [00:52] amt2: System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects [00:52] brb [00:52] <_Zeus_> Ketrel: no idea [00:52] desaints: most of us ahve been ms whore's at some point. [00:52] woli: sound works the same as before... youtube video work, but if i do the tests at the same time, they dont work [00:52] _Zeus_ you probably have it too [00:52] <_Zeus_> Ketrel: have you done something custom? [00:52] <_Zeus_> Ketrel: i do not. [00:52] _Zeus_ can you check? [00:52] <_Zeus_> just did [00:52] anyone know how to activate direct rendering for Intel 82845G? [00:53] all I did was install ubuntu-desktop. [00:53] Macrosoft: Nothing new [00:54] woli: i dont see 'advanced desktop effects' under preferences... also, i just noticed my graphics card driver (which is external) is not enabled, should i enable it again?

[01:05] can you legally buy mac osx? [01:05] without it comin on a pc? [01:05] how do i do commands that start with #? [01:05] To rip DVDs what would you guys reccomend? [01:05] woli, so with regards to the sound, do you think it is a bad sign that the tests still fail if i try them at the same time? [01:05] anyone know how to turn on direct rendering? [01:05] <_Zeus_> badfish: i think you can [01:05] required step: # mkdir /usr/share/cups/model [01:05] and here too [01:06] amt2: yes. my tests work unconditionally [01:06] reportingsjr: acidrip if you just want to do it quickly, but learning the codecs and mencoder if you want to really understand it [01:06] I would like to rip and burn dvds, but I don't know how to burn them. (ripping is easy enough) [01:06] <_Zeus_> ianq: pastebin the output of glxinfo (if you have a nVidia card) or fglrxinfo (for ATi) [01:06] well mac osx is based off bsd so it should run on i pc i never said i was to do it just asking my freind said he did it but i dint belive him [01:06] reportingsjr: if you want to burn, k3b is nice [01:06] Transmission Is putting all of my downloads on my Desktop, but I told it to put them in the Videos folder, how do i fix this? [01:06] how do i: # mkdir /usr/share/cups/model [01:06] where does the # symbol fit into it all? [01:06] bill_bill: see osx86 and hackintosh etc [01:06] badfish: (hash) is a comment [01:06] <_Zeus_> badfish: that means run it as root (with sudo) [01:06] bill_bill, it wont run on a pc because it checks for a certain piece of hardware only macs have [01:07] i see [01:07] Macrosoft: dongle :) [01:07] o [01:07] <_Zeus_> reportingsjr: that means run as sudo when on a command like that [01:07] _Zeus_: ah, really? [01:07] I need help to install Ubuntu on a Raid card. I have compiled the driver (a .ko), but I dont know how to use it or include it in the install... [01:07] Macrosoft: that can be subverted, in case you aren't aware [01:07] anyone know of a plugin for Deskbar for running terminal commands? [01:07] badfish: nevermind then, run as sudo when you see a hash! [01:07] <_Zeus_> reportingsjr: generally, yes. assuming he was supposed to run that [01:08] <_Zeus_> if it was in a script, that would be a comment. but I'm guessing he's following a poorly-written guide [01:08] CalJohn_, he was talking about it working out of the box, without any extra work [01:08] _Zeus_: i've got an intel card [01:08] quit [01:08] oops [01:08] woli, sorry, did you get my previous msg? interestingly enough, out of nowhere a black screen covered my monitor and i haad to reboot.. [01:08] now i have to create a symbolic link [01:08] <_Zeus_> ianq: oh... i don't know what to do then [01:09] _Zeus_: thanks anyways. i found plenty of stuff on ATI and nvidia, but older intel cards seem to be tricky ;) [01:09] u just have to copy chats [01:09] in other rooms [01:09] poorly written [01:09] and ad ur dialogs in it [01:09] http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/before.html#004 [01:09] that's what i'm following [01:10] ianq: have you checked the help..ubuntu.com wiki? [01:10] if i get it to work i'll update the bot [01:10] I was following the instructions on the MacBook wiki page to get right-click working with xmodmap, but it didn't work and now my down arrow key is broken. How can I get my down arrow back? [01:10] amt2: nope [01:10] the point is [01:10] solomeh: I assume you could delete your xmodmap, right? [01:10] ok I am going to need some help here, otherwise this guy that I am remote connecting probably wil just wipe Ubuntu, and go back to Windows in the end [01:10] solomeh, this isnt a mac os x channel [01:10] how many you need to be [01:10] danbh_intrepid: i'm just reading on ubuntu forums. someone had a suggestion there [01:10] woli, so do you think the sound tests not working simultaneously is a bad sign? [01:11] Macrosoft: No, it's a damn ubuntu channel and I have an Ubuntu question. [01:11] ia32libs or lib32stdrc is required to be installed. [01:11] how do i check for this? [01:11] solomeh, its also a no profanity channel [01:11] ianq: still, you should check the help.ubuntu.com wiki. If the answer is there, great. If not, suck. If you find it later, please update help.ubuntu.com, for future reference [01:12] danbh_intrepid: Okay I deleted the .xmodmap file, so how can I get the down arrow working again? [01:12] Macrosoft: shut up [01:12] Macrosoft: stop being rude [01:12] ia32libs or lib32stdrc is required to be installed. [01:12] how do i check for this? [01:12] solomeh: try restarting X [01:12] !ot [01:12] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [01:12] woli , i found the solution [01:12] I need help installing ubuntu. I need to include a driver that I compiled in the install (for my RAID card) [01:12] CalJohn_, im not the one using language and telling people to shut up [01:12] sudo gedit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf [01:12] amt2: yes. definitly. My tests work unconditioanlly [01:12] dr3mro: what did you do/ [01:13] standard server reconfig it amd all willl work [01:13] Macrosoft and the rest.. DROP IT [01:13] ldiamond, you wanna boot off a raid?

[01:13] onx, Ideally, but its not necessary [01:13] how do i do this? [01:14] dr3mro Dont sudo a gui app. it is dangerous [01:14] and shutdown and restart came nack :) [01:14] !gksudo > dr3mro [01:14] dr3mro, please see my private message [01:14] its gedit [01:14] <_Zeus_> dr3mro: use gksu instaead of sudo [01:14] ok [01:14] ok [01:14] thnx [01:14] dr3mro: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:14] for tip [01:14] danbh_intrepid: I'm a bit worried about it not working because I never ran xmodmap when I started X11 [01:14] Does Desktop Wall only allow you to have 2 desktops at a time? [01:14] So I don't think simply deleting the xmodmap file and restarting X11 will work [01:14] any on here tried slackware [01:14] ie, switching between only 2 desktops? [01:15] dr3mro Offtopic [01:15] ldiamond, if it's just about loading the driver at startup and you ran the usual make && make install routine, just put a line in /etc/modules [01:15] ia32-libs - ia32 shared libraries for use on amd64 and ia64 systems [01:15] logan@logan-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs [01:15] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [01:15] solomeh: well, don't look to me for answers. Restarting X will take you 30 seconds, so the easiest way to find out is... [01:16] badfish: run the suggested command! [01:16] ok [01:16] <_Zeus_> badfish: run sudo dpkg --configure -a [01:16] what's the safest & easiest way to do a bare-metal backup Linux to an external USB disk drive or DAT tape drive for restore to a different SAS hard drive (controllers overwrite new drives with a different, unique ID)? [01:16] solomeh: oh, and by delete, maybe I should have said, rename. That way, you can go back...

[01:20] jedimindtrick: have you tried gnome-do? I've never tried it myself, but I heard a positive remark about it [01:20] one of the 2 is required for this printer [01:20] danbh_intrepid: not sure how that applies ? [01:20] step 6/8 for the linux solution [01:21] badfish: so install tcsh [01:21] has anyone installed rtorrent and rtgui before? [01:21] jedimindtrick: its more advanced shortcut thing for gnome, which I assumed you were using [01:21] when i deactivate window decoration i get no titlebar, any suggetions? [01:21] mralexandro, i think that happened to me, i turned off compiz and it was OK. [01:21] <_Zeus_> mralexandro: run metacity --replace to turn off decorations [01:22] i was searching apt-cache for tsch instead of tcsh [01:22] ok thanks [01:22] badfish: be aware, you would do better following an distro-specific guide than a generic "linux" or "unix" one released by and third party like brother [01:22] but will that deactivate cube as well? [01:22] is there a program to use Plaxo in ubuntu [01:22] badfish: unless you already know one doesn't exisst [01:22] i checked the ubuntu forum and the bot [01:22] <_Zeus_> mralexandro: it will... [01:22] the forum sent me to this site [01:23] jedimindtrick: nvm, im testing now, and I think Im wrong... [01:23] the bot told me nothin [01:23] badfish: fair enough [01:23] if this works, i'm gonna send something to the ops so they can update the bot and post on the forum [01:23] how can i increase the number of workspaces i can use with Desktop Wall? Right now I can only use two. [01:23] badfish and I told you it was doubtful you would get that scanner working on that printer [01:23] i just got linux working like 5 hours ago [01:23] what's the name of the program that's launched from gnome's network configuration where you configure wireless [01:23] badfish: csh and tcsh are shells it doesn't matter about them really since they have nothing to do with your printer [01:23] <_Zeus_> Ketrel: nm-applet? [01:24] Does any one know of a prgram that would allow plaxo to sycn with evolution [01:24] ? [01:24] <_Zeus_> what is plaxo? [01:24] i'm getting a compiler segfault when i try to compile the newest rtorrent (libtorrent specifically). are there precompiled binaries with xmlrpc wrapped into it? [01:24] ldiamond, did you test if it works yet? i.e. insmod /path/to/module [01:24] online address book [01:24] i still use gnome quite a bit [01:24] _Zeus_, not that one, and not gnome-network-preferences either [01:24] <_Zeus_> then i dunno... [01:25] i'm not worried so much about scanner [01:25] danbh_intrepid: apparently compiz lets me assign it like that no problem [01:26] i barely use it i can go back to windows for that [01:26] is there a guide to switching from cups to samba? [01:26] jedimindtrick: compiz? [01:26] but out of curiousity, why wouldn't i get the scanner to work? [01:26] badfish Poor drivers [01:26] i see [01:26] badfish: imo, because most printers have terrible drivers [01:27] well vista is at least bearable in any event [01:27] i'm already liking linux though [01:27] haven't had ubuntu freeze or hang or give me a hard time once [01:27] <_Zeus_> :D [01:27] wellI'll be damned [01:27] and i'll agree that shit is sloppy [01:27] all made for windows [01:27] is there a channel here for apple ubuntu users?

[01:47] i need to know how to uninstall backports please [01:47] In an attempt to aid people's aid of brolly81, I will restate from earlier that alsamixer lists no chip for his sound device. Also, apparently, none of the volume bars have values. [01:47] <_Zeus_> amon_: oh, i'm not sure. [01:48] bobertdos which is why I sent him to /j #alsa [01:48] amon_: use synaptic.

I've told Flannel you guys deserve more credit than you get. [01:50] TornadoChas3r: what does the command jobs say? [01:50] danbh_intrepid: now, i enabled the whole backports repository and then accidentially upgraded [01:50] TornadoChas3r try cd /home/ircd/unreal & ./unreal start [01:51] bobertdos we try [01:51] ok [01:51] But after i typed that first command i got this [01:51] YEM close the terminal window [01:51] amon_: hmmm, well, it might be a pain in the but. Are you sure you want to do that? backports is usually pretty safe..

[01:51] brolly81: Truth be told, given the value of card in Alsamixer, I'd almost suggest buying a separate card, perhaps one that's more of a mainstream brand. [01:51] its wierd, i double click an exe file, thinking that it'll open up the gui just like windows but nothing happens. [01:51] I can't get virtualbox to work it says its missing some modules or something [01:52] TornadoChas3r the first part changes folders/directories [01:52] TornadoChas3r: you need to have 2 &, not 1. so && [01:52] _Zeus_: Uh, my hostname didn't change, and here's the output from 'sudo gedit hosts' [01:52] Daft_Punk Did you get it from repos or install it yourself [01:52] anyone have any idea how to turn the bass volume down in ubuntu? [01:52] Daft_Punk: you're more likely to get help if you pastebin exact error messages [01:52] the bass and treble switches do not work in the mixer [01:52] max@hitachi-toshibaiooooooooooooooooooooooooooooii:/etc$ sudo gedit hosts [01:52] sudo: unable to resolve host hitachi-toshibaiooooooooooooooooooooooooooooii [01:52] I just need it to go back to normal i was just seeing waht command i couse to for start up and i etered a & [01:52] danbh_intrepid: just tell me how, i'm curious and my system feels a bit unstable [01:52] not it wont exectue i will try what u said [01:52] EvilDaemon: ok, I can help you [01:52] danbh_intrepid two makes it wait for the first to complete before going on to the next command [01:53] TornadoChas3r try just ./unreal start [01:53] okay, because it's also taking a minute or two to load anything. [01:53] Jack_Sparrow: isnt that what he wants? change folder, the run the executable. At least, thats what I thought [01:54] Jack_sparrow It wont work anymore [01:54] bobertdos: i just installed ubuntu a week ago and reinstalled it. when i came on to this chat room someone gave me the solution in matter of mins. i just dont rememeber all the steps the dude gave me [01:54] it wont execute the program [01:54] danbh_intrepid agreed but a single should work as it is only changing a directory and not performing any real task or op [01:54] I'm so newb at this, sucks ): [01:55] bobertdos: its not the soundcard its a soundblaster which apparently ubuntu supports [01:55] I just dont know what i did [01:55] lol [01:55] EvilDaemon: First of all, always run graphical applications with gksudo when you need root privileges. Second, you might just want to fix that graphically via System->Adminstration->Network->Hosts if you can open it. [01:56] so i dont know how to explain it [01:56] guys I have arbitrary ports opening in the unregistered ports [01:56] Jack_Sparrow: I don't know for sure, but if he is changing directory to get to the desired executable, then I don't think it will work. Because it will try to execute before the cd actually happens, and result in a command not found [01:56] and port 15000 is open [01:56] why? [01:56] EvilDaemon: you ready? [01:57] danbh_intrepid He ran the first command and got the folder so running the second should find the ap [01:57] brolly81: That IS a soundcard in my vocabulary. So, it's a soundblaster, what model? [01:57] well wtf? in Network > hosts, it says 127.0.1.1 is hitachi-toshiba, but terminal doesn't register it at all [01:57] after reboot too [01:57] hmm [01:57] EvilDaemon lose the rude shorthand.. thanks [01:57] sorry [01:58] what is a good program to mount .iso files [01:58] !iso [01:59] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [01:59] EvilDaemon: I imagine it's case sensitive. Do you have the case right? [01:59] Jack_Sparrow, i want a gui one, not command line [01:59] bobertdos: soundblaster xtreme fidelity [01:59] yeah. [02:00] EvilDaemon: well, ready or not, here is how to fix it. Reboot in rescue mode. Edit /etc/hostname to your desired hostname next, edit /etc/hosts so there is a line for your hostname, like this: 127.0.1.1 hostname Everything should then work. Good luck [02:00] thanks. [02:00] this was a fresh install, too. [02:00] guys why are random ports opening at greater than 49000?

[02:08] airtonix I wont even use wine.. [02:08] would anyone have any idea why xmodmap just flat out wouldnt work? [02:08] bbyever: I think System > Preferences > Main menu [02:08] the command goes through [02:08] it was working for a while [02:08] then just stopped [02:08] the keys I assigned just do nothing [02:08] Jack: I need wine for gaming anyway, it's one of the main reasons I owna computer [02:08] this is a fresh install of the latest ubuntu on a macbook pro [02:08] danbh_intrepid: what do you want to see from that command? [02:09] carandraug: i tried that already but it only allows you to edit Application and System menus :( [02:09] Is anyone using Xinerama with 3 monitors? [02:09] hyrlvl: don't use enter to break up your thoughts as it makes it harder to follow what you are saying [02:09] zaid, i wouldnt worry about virus using wine....most if not all win32 virus require other libs that wont be present [02:09] i want to see the keys i assigned performing the function i've assigned them to [02:09] ForestBear: I actually don't understand its output, but I believe its supposed to show what programs are listening on what ports, ie open ports [02:09] I configure my dhcpd.conf, The basic: http://pastebin.com/m5d678e0e, what i need make, for my network be UP? I have 4 computers here, my computer is the server with dhcp. [02:09] <_Zeus_> hyrlvl: do you have it set to do it on startup? [02:09] ForestBear: but its a bit jiberrishh to me [02:10] danbh_intrepid lol [02:10] airtonix there are lots of things to worry about when you run wine.. is Z mapped etc. are you running wine as regular user/root [02:10] is there a site that explains how to compile source files? like including all the info like making .config files and such? [02:10] airtonix: ok, sounds good, anything I have to configure to let WMP use the ext3 partition? [02:10] jack_sparrow, danbh_intrepid could it be my modem? [02:10] bbyever: then I don't know.

[02:11] pidgin has worked well for me [02:11] is anyone using xinerama with 3 monitors? I am having issues with my panel bars and setting a primary monitor. I have an nvidia GTX260 with a 7950GT [02:11] all in one solution really [02:12] I've never used empathy [02:12] Airtonix: I need to sync my player with WMP, amarok corrupts it's firmware when I try to sync [02:12] Kolma: in general or are you looking for GTK (this is slightly offtopic, but.....) [02:12] zaid, what player? [02:12] im looking to install hostap [02:12] so i can turn a wifi adapter into master mode [02:12] I am new to Ubuntu and tried to connect to a wireless connection at my local library. I right clicked the network manager and I did not see the connection listed. I tried to connect to by clicking "connect to other wireless network" by typing in the network name and that did not work either. Any ideas? [02:12] !wireless | pcorr [02:12] pcorr: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [02:12] airtonix Insignia Sport 4GB, It's a PlaysForSure/MTP or simply USB mass storage, you can switch it as needed [02:13] How do you change the Places menu? [02:13] pcorr: "iwlist scan" [02:13] bbyever, you can't but you can make it into a single icon (like windows start menu) [02:13] Solved my problem with vlc... compiz has to be running to go full screen [02:13] sorry, I am completely clueless, what does  "iwlist scan" stand for? [02:13] hmm i remember in the old distro there was an menu app under system that showed you all your system hardware where is that now? [02:13] !compile > Kolma [02:13] Kolma, please see my private message [02:13] Daft_Punk: how into a single icon? [02:14] pcorr: it's a command to run in the terminal. Applications > Acessories > Terminal [02:14] zaid, if you are really worried about virus, i would be running that sync operation inside virtual machine. [02:14] ah, excellent. do i simply do that when I am in the library next carandraug? [02:14] help?? [02:15] bbyever, you have to right click on the applications/system/places menu and REMOVE from panel, then on some blank panel space, right click and go to add to panel. Then choose "main menu" [02:15] pcorr: it will only scan for wireless networks, nothing more. Does your wireless work in other places? [02:15] airtonix Honestly I'm not too worried about viruses, NoScript + common sense browsing goes a long way [02:15] bobertos [02:15] Daft_Punk: ah, but that would just move the menu? [02:15] Do i need to get a an anti-virus and spy-ware detector like i do with windows? [02:16] YEM not really [02:16] !av [02:16] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [02:16] !info clamav [02:16] carandraug, yes it does. At home (though I use a wired connection) I can see other wireless networks. At the library, nothing shows up. When I did use vista (shudder) I could see and connect to the library wireless network.

Version 0.92.1~dfsg2-1.1ubuntu0.2 (hardy), package size 873 kB, installed size 1336 kB [02:16] bbyever: there's a difference between main and ubuntu menus. Also, have you tried right on click on Places and select "Edit menu"? [02:16] bbyever, it will put everything under 1 menu like the windows start menu, but you cant edit the icons on places like you can on the applications menu (as far as i know) [02:16] hey guys! [02:17] Heh...Me again...The wireless saga continues, I *think* I've got it working, I just need to know how to tell ubuntu to prefer my wifi connection over my ethernet [02:17] if that's possible [02:17] YEM AV software is useful ffor disinfecting files before they are sent to Windows machines, however [02:17] i'd like to have a higher resolution than 1280x1024 [02:17] I'd rather not unplug the ethernet, heh. [02:17] but i can't why? [02:17] carandraug: yeah, that just takes you to the Main Menu application [02:17] mh [02:17] pcorr: is the network in the library completely open? [02:17] i'm bach at ubuntu@ubuntu:~$... also say that STARTING DEFERRED EXECUTION SCHEDULER ATD [fail] [02:18] carandraug: I think so, as everyone else has no problem seeing and accessing it. [02:18] Daft_Punk: ah ok. Well, what i wanted to do was remove a bookmark from the places menu itself. Im fine with the way the menus are arranged though... Maybe a bug should be filled about this... [02:18] bbyever: ok. I had to ask 'cos I get an error when I try that (because I'm using Intrepid and have loads of problems) [02:18] bbyever, oh just edit your bookmarks by opening a folder, going to bookmarks and edit them [02:19] YES [02:19] is anyone using xinerama with 3 monitors? I am having issues with my panel bars and setting a primary monitor. I have an nvidia GTX260 with a 7950GT [02:19] wierd, I manually configured my IP, mask and gateway, It seems to recognize the DNS server on the outside of my network yet still can't ping the gateway router [02:19] carandraug /j #ubuntu+1 [02:19] Daft_Punk: ah, i see. thanks! [02:19] any clue as to why this would happen? [02:19] carandraug: :) [02:20] pcorr: so, in a normal day, you would just turn the computer on, connect to that wireless network without entering any kind of password ever (not even in the first attempt) and you'ld be ready to freely surf the web? [02:20] why are my ports opening? [02:20] seriously, help [02:20] i'm bach at ubuntu@ubuntu:~$... also say that STARTING DEFERRED EXECUTION SCHEDULER ATD [fail] [02:20] !helpme > ForestBear [02:20] ForestBear, please see my private message [02:20] carandraug: Correct, though today when I failed, it was the first time I tried with Ubuntu. Previously I'd simply view wireless connection and connect. There was never any sort of password or security. [02:21] Jack_Sparrow: I know. I have the problems but I'll fix them with time. I was just pointing bbyever the menu and telling why I couldn't guide him further through the menu [02:21] ForestBear it isnt normal and it almost has to be something you installed yourself or ran [02:21] lol how do I figure out what it is, jack_sparrow? [02:21] HI all. I can't get the NFS server on Ubuntu 8.04 working: See http://paste.lisp.org/display/67043 and http://paste.lisp.org/display/67043#1 (Note: the nfs-kernel-server takes a while to startup). Trying to connect just results in a timeout even on localhost! [02:22] hm, I think I got it working, at least. [02:22] how do i change printcap to printcap.local? [02:22] ForestBear Only you know what all you did outside of the original install and supported repos === chris4585-2 is now known as chris4585 [02:22] pcorr: hmm, ok. Then next time try that command "iwlist scan". Actually try it now so you see what the output usually looks like [02:22] jack_sparrow I did a lot ... [02:22] ForestBear It will be something you did.. [02:23] banned from wow ? [02:23] !who > Xcerca [02:23] Xcerca, please see my private message [02:23] HELLO!!!! why can't i go to higher resolution than 1280x1024 on my 18 inch screen??? [02:23] how do i rename /etc/printcap to /etc/printcap.local? [02:23] well that wasn't very helpful :( [02:23] well cya later. [02:24] carandraug: I ran it and got this: lo Interface doesn't support scanning. eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning. wmaster0 Interface doesn't support scanning. wlan0 No scan results [02:24] badfish: you move it "mv /original_name /new_name" [02:24] badfish gksudo nautilus is one way, but it can be dangerous, use it then close it immediately [02:25] pcorr: next time pastebin that.

[04:01] renae try this http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-find-out-if-harddisk-failing.html [04:01] dsnyders, it's a fun language. Be careful though, it's even worse than perl for write once read never [04:01] anyone tried to get Snare working under Hardy? [04:01] renae--> see that paste from redvamp128 [04:01] no but video editing software is not in ubuntu studio [04:02] so is cino the best or any other options like final cut? [04:02] Dragondef: Well, if you did it with the JDK, I guess you already know how careful you have to be. Just know that not all programs (and more importantly, they're dependencies) are as easily relocated. [04:02] emhs, I use a bcm4311 and the native b43 driver works like a charm. I used the one from restricted driver manager [04:02] oswado: redvamp128 thanks guys [04:02] the only other thing maybe a e2fsck [04:02] nickrud, Nothing beats APL for write only-ness except possibly whitespace. [04:02] oswado: redvamp128: i was just reading that actually. [04:02] does anyone know what the default htdocs directory is for a new install of Ubuntu Server (Ubuntu 8)? [04:03] <{Matteo}> /var/www/ [04:03] you should logg off and run it from prompt though [04:03] dsnyders, I'll take your word on that :) I haven't done much of anything but very light php and html for a long time [04:03] Is there a easy way to get rid of doublics files with out having to pick which on to keep it just picks on and keeps it [04:03] Thank you. [04:03] does intel p43 mobo have good linux compatibility? [04:03] row row fight the powah [04:03] where is xorg.0.log agian?

[04:06] When ever I boot system, I have to disconnect my wireless USB mouse several times before the it works. Anyone know of any known probs with this? === awked is now known as Gun_Smoke [04:06] *the mouse works [04:06] though I think they are in the repository... [04:06] hosstest, I have to do that with my logitech mx620 in vista; works every time in ubuntu. Wierd stuff wireless [04:06] seriously [04:07] nickrud, (∼R∈R°.×R)/R←1↓ιR is an APL program to find all of the prime numbers between 1 and R. [04:07] control and monitor storage systems using S.M.A.R.T. [04:07] The smartmontools package contains two utility programs (smartctl and smartd) [04:07] to control and monitor storage systems using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and [04:07] Reporting Technology System (S.M.A.R.T.) built into most modern ATA and SCSI [04:07] hard disks. It is derived from the smartsuite package, and includes support [04:07] redvamp128: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:07] for ATA/ATAPI-5 disks. It should run on any modern Linux system. [04:07] * nickrud faints [04:07] oswado: redvamp128: smartctl is not in my repositories. i am complte cli guys and working from root recovery option here [04:07] any other apps that can do this diagnosis? [04:07] that EVERY linux distro would have? [04:07] Cripes. This is hard. [04:08] You have to get the tools first [04:08] goto the package manger--- [04:08] <{Matteo}> do it from a knoppix session [04:08] lookfor smart tolls [04:08] oops tools [04:08] Still no luck for me getting Linux to work in Virtual PC. [04:08] renae: I generally trigger the disk diagnostic by using tune2fs to control the maximal and current mount counts. [04:08] renae, it would be in smartmontools (smartctl) [04:08] it is smartmontools [04:08] does anyone know of any program that converts any video or mpeg files to vob format? [04:09] renea open up the synaptic package manger-- type password [04:09] Finally, I have one other pending prob. I am running audio through my USB Headset. I can listen to mp3s, streaming music, and game play but ONLY flash videos yield no audio. I have installed libflashsupport, any suggestions? [04:09] then download the smartmontools package-- then try that command [04:09] could som one please help me set up SKype . i really need to use toi have been here for along time and tried ..to figure it out .. but i have no luck l.. could some one give me a hand? [04:09] nickrud: i have SiS wireless just builtin. I remember i installed SiS driver for wireless but realized it was wrong driver [04:09] nickrud heres my xorg.0.log http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/47950/ [04:09] diagi think'll just boot a puppy linux cd [04:09] Okay, problem is that I'm running out of hard drive space. How can I utilize an external hard drive to store application. I can't save that much space by moving my home folder over, but it still will also be helpful. [04:10] phpcurious, try lspci . You'll get a bunch of stuff, if you can determine which line describes the wireless, post that. Otherwise, put it all on the pastebin [04:10] It even says to download the package--- [04:10] also, can someone PM me the code needed to write an executable script to run a prg in a new X session? [04:10] nickrud: yes sir! [04:10] any idea why corg is failing"?" [04:10] corg=xorg [04:10] I forgot that it doesn't default install the tools... My folly... [04:10] Can someone tell me how to del double files [04:11] spiritssight--> what do you mean double files? [04:11] <{Matteo}> you could md5 all the files and delete duplicate md5 hashes X-D [04:11] I have pictures and some ok alot are doubles, I want a easy way to just keep one copy only [04:12] does anybody know mozilla (firefox's) default installation directory in ubuntu? off-hand? [04:12] I want to check the my home folder and its subfolders and get rid of the doubles [04:12] spiritssight: gqview [04:12] Dragondel, Are your drives partitioned using LVM? [04:12] <{Matteo}> the binary is usually in /usr/bin [04:12] <{Matteo}> for firefox [04:12] nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu.com/47951/ [04:13] goose, what I see that gets my attention is lines 439-549, the monitor setup. [04:13] does intel p43 mobo have good linux compatibility? [04:13] KiR_6667: and the library files, including the plugins are usually in /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1 [04:13] goose, this is a laptop? [04:13] yea, a tablet [04:14] this gqview will allow me to automatic get rid of doubles [04:14] No, I don't believe that it did. But, I could be wrong. [04:14] the monitor is a Samsung ltn140w2-l02 but i cant find the vsync or horizrange [04:15] spiritssight: can compare those pic, and select to delete. [04:15] phpcurious, huh. I don't even see a wireless device there (or don't recognize one). Is it usb? (lsusb shows usb devices) [04:15] hello, is their a way of adding multiple video files at once with DeVeDe? If so how? [04:15] Hey, I need to have libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 be installed, yet I can't find the lib that works. It saids another one is already in there. [04:15] so does this mean I would see the two pic and just del one myself or can it do it for me [04:15] nickrud: really? that's weird [04:16] does totem-gstreamer not support subtitles in hardy? [04:16] thanks bobertdos [04:16] nickrud: when I boot on windows it has wireless [04:16] what is a good webdesign application for gnome? [04:16] how do I use gnome desktop in vnc? [04:16] pulseaudio is screwing up my Ubuntu MacBook's sound (Sigmatel STAC9221) and I kill the process and Amarok can actually play a song finally [04:16] spiritssight: install it. and try. look at the menu items. duplicate pic can be found. [04:16] goose, I'm not sure then. But I'd say getting some resolution info would be a start. [04:17] Oneword: you enable the Vino server in System -> Admin -> Remote Desktop [04:17] But I still can't hear it from my speakers with everything in alsamixer unmuted and turned up [04:17] Dragonde1, does the df command mention anything about lvm? [04:17] styles_ you could try adding [04:17] hmm probly not [04:17] phpcurious, that's not the question :) [04:17] i cant find it :( i've tried for hours [04:17] SchmittyDoesIt: blusefish / nvu [04:17] is there a program that can detect it [04:17] LSD|Ninja, I am using tightvnc [04:17] goose, and to be honest, I know little to nothing about the vga driver (libxf4bpp.so) [04:17] archive.canical.com/ubuntu hardy partner to you third party software in your sources.. [04:17] they have a much larger library then the main [04:18] phpcurious, in order to get it working in ubuntu, we need to identify exactly what we're working with [04:18] does anyone know of any recommended programs for creating dvds using mpeg files? [04:18] Oneword: No idea then, I've only really messed with what's provided in GNOME [04:18] solomeh: Only one application can have control of the sound resources at a time under Pulse -- an unfortunate bug. You can switch everything over to ALSA an try it that way if you wish. [04:18] dsnyders: No, I don't see any evidence of that [04:19] bobertdos: How do I switch it all over to ALSA? [04:19] thanx iFvwm [04:19] I have installed it and what I see so far is I have to drop the pic into a window and then it compares am I missing the ability for it to search [04:19] hi,all ! how to auto running a app when I login in gamin desktop ? [04:20] Dragonde1, LVM would have allowed you to span from one hard drive to the other. [04:20] I, can someone help me? I'm trying to make my tablet screen work, I tried a lot of tutorials on the forum and from google but so far I can't make it work [04:20] solomeh: System->Preferences->Sound (and sometimes if you have to), gksudo gstreamer-properties (from the terminal). [04:20] Dragonde1, but, since you don't have it installed, we'll have to look at other options. [04:20] nickrud: just for clarification. why is it that it cannot detect my wireless builtin . I did this laptop dual-boot so when i boot on windows it can detect wireless networks. so I cannot say there is no wireless in my laptop. [04:20] can someone please help me with nano and executable scripts? [04:21] phpcurious: what wifi chip? [04:21] What's the bet it's Broadcom? [04:21] I can see networks and briefly connected to them but I always get disconnected. this happens to all types of access points. [04:21] LSD|Ninja : SiS [04:21] bah, house loses :( [04:21] I could get it reinstalled, but I would rather wait. === sp00 is now known as thecakeisalie [04:21] phpcurious, wireless setup in ubuntu is it's achilles heel, still. It may be much better than before, but still. [04:22] how do I stop X [04:22] hello, is their a way of adding multiple video files at once with DeVeDe? If so how? [04:22] my wired networking is having the same issue. the spining thing is spinning in the network monitor [04:22] yeah, how can I stop X on display 3? [04:22] Oneword, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop (start to start it again) [04:22] nickrud: so you mean to say wireless in ubuntu is still... gasp! [04:22] wacom tablet, hp tx2510... anyone wanna try? [04:22] phpcurious, heh. [04:23] phpcurious, feisty took a bit of work for me, gutsy just a bit, and hardy worked out of the box. bcm4311 [04:23] nickrud: Ubuntu is better than a lot of distros wrt wireless. Wireless troubles aren't a problem unique to Ubuntu, it affects Linux as a whole [04:23] <_Zeus_> Oneword: press Ctrl+Alt+Bksp [04:23] hosstest: what's exactly your problem? [04:23] LSD|Ninja, yeah, I should have said linux instead of ubuntu. [04:23] nickrud: With the right chip, It's install and go with wireless on Ubuntu [04:23] LSD|Ninja, yep. Read back for my experience ;) [04:23] Please help I am not finding how to search the folders using gqview, I need to get ride of like 300ish doubles (pictures) [04:23] <_Zeus_> I have installed on many laptops and wireless always was out-of-the-box [04:24] _Zeus_, right chipset for you [04:24] Dragonde1, Basically what you have to do is create a mount point for the external, move a folder onto it, then remount the external as that folder. [04:24] _Zeus_, not everyone is so lucky [04:24] _Zeus_: What wifi chip/s? Intel and Atheros are the big two for OOB success [04:24] <_Zeus_> LSD|Ninja: Thinkpads (i think atheros or intel) and toshibas with external proxin cards [04:25] atheros 5007 anyone? [04:25] spiritssight: you copied them by accident and they are in the same folder, you can order them by date and erase the bottom [04:25] I thought about that, I was looking into it, but the issue is how to remount as a different folder. [sorry, lazy] [04:25] nickrud: 5007 is a newer one, it's not entirely Ubuntu's fault for the trouble there [04:25] Dragondel, You edit your /etc/fstab file. [04:25] ok so i follwed the route of updating my firmware, i installed the packages and such that the website told me to, yet my card still isn't being recognized in network settings or "edit wireless networks" [04:26] where should i go from here? [04:26] nickrud: b/g Atheros are usually fine [04:26] LSD|Ninja, no, it's not anyone's fault, but we see the problem here. (or if anyone's, the manufacturer for releasing out of ubuntu schedule ;) [04:26] <_Zeus_> :P [04:26] I had a broadcom card btw [04:27] hi how do i set the sudo to allow root to run restart chilli from PHP [04:27] hello, is their a way of adding multiple video files at once with DeVeDe? If so how? [04:27] nickrud: I said not entirely Ubuntu's fault. ubuntu didn't bump madwifi between Gutsy and Hardy so a few Atheros chips that should have been supported weren't. The drivers are also going through a change upstream. Hopefully though, it'll be mostly sorted out by Intrepid [04:28] nickrud: how do know i have wireless in lspci? what do i need to look out for? [04:28] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-402089.html to run wine wow.exe in a seperate X session [04:28] guys i downloaded a driver and un packaged the file, how do i install the driver (its a driver for a webcam) [04:28] but it isnt working. [04:28] LSD|Ninja, could you look at his lspci, http://paste.ubuntu.com/47951/ , I don't recognize a wireless chipset there [04:28] i have a this problem i have a asrock 775i65 and hd wester digital 40gb and install ubuntu reboot the pc and give this error grub loading stage 1.5 read error [04:29] and i try with the other distribution any can install [04:29] install other so and function ok [04:29] what happend [04:29] hosstest: please start the message with the nick of whom you're talking to. That way they'll be warned about your message [04:29] any1 can help me with installing this driver? [04:30] haha warned [04:30] I was referencing the link that I was reading from, to me. [04:30] all I want to know is if someone knows how to run an app in a new X session, via execuatable script. [04:30] Hey guys I want to burn an avi to dvd to watch on my dvd player. What ubuntu program will do all the conversions etc need to do this ? [04:30] LSD|Ninja, I see that as just a normal problem of the release cycle. stable releases have strong pluses, and some annoying drawbacks regarding recent software. Since I'm here, you know what I find more important === bfig_ is now known as bfig [04:31] nickrud: i want to tell you, i installed fedora here before it can detect wireless networks but connection to wireless is not good. [04:31] nickrud: that means i really have wireless on my laptop [04:31] how can I tell fdupes to keep on copie and del all the rest [04:31] phpcurious, wireless is not really my strong suit. That's why I'm trying to drag someone else in. And I never disagreed about you having it, I just don't recognize the chip :) [04:32] I can't say I see anything that looks like a wireless chip jump out at me [04:32] It looks like a cheap laptop though, maybe it's a USB device? [04:32] phpcurious, does lsusb return anything? You may have an internal usb wireless [04:32] dsnyder: This is where I get stuck. /media/WD Passport is the original mount point, so I unmount it. Then, what do I write in my fstab file [04:33] lsusb says something [04:33] nickrud: im so sorry. i didn't mean to say that. i meant to say just to inform you. [04:33] hosstest: so what's exactly your problem? I can tell how to make the script executable if that's your problem [04:33] I know how to do that, as far as making the script and what to put in it I dont know about. [04:34] phpcurious, put the output of the lsusb on the pastebin [04:34] when I run lsmod after apt-get install dmraid when booting from live cd I see dm_raid45 listed at the top, how can I get this included when I run update-initramfs? [04:34] the tut references nano, but the code they give isnt working. [04:34] Dragondef, what does df say [04:34] What do you guys use to put an AVI onto a dvd ? [04:34] Not as data [04:35] lawnninja: add dm_raid45 to /etc/modules === daklan_cls is now known as daklan [04:35] nickrud, LSD|Ninja http://paste.ubuntu.com/47952/ [04:35] when i try to update i get this error "w: GPG error: http://ubuntu.cafueo.net hardy-cafuego Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" [04:36] Dragonde1, df should tell you the mount point and the filesystem (eg /dev/sda1) [04:36] man....could some on help me with skype i need to speak with my family [04:36] /dev/sdc1 [04:36] amyone? [04:36] Forgot about that /media is just like a shortcut [04:37] hosstest: well, I can't help you in changing the script. When you asked about nano and executable scripts I thought your problem was in that [04:37] Hey guys I want to burn an avi to dvd to watch on my dvd player. What ubuntu program will do all the conversions etc need to do this ? [04:37] ffmpeg [04:37] thx [04:37] It's command line driven, plenty of tutorials around [04:38] carandraug: have you worked with nano before? [04:38] is there any way to get dolby digital/dts 5.1 sound using snd-hda-intel and analog 5.1 speaker connections? built in dd5.1/dts decoder in ubuntu? [04:38] hosstest: you mean nano the text editor? Yes [04:39] phpcurious, what laptop do you have? [04:39] Dragondef, assuming it's ext3, you would add a line like: /dev/sdc1 /mymountpoint ext3 defaults 0 2 to your /etc/fstab [04:39] wow, i can't get my point across. I meant I forgot that /media is a mount point, not the dev location [04:39] nickrud : B2165N neo [04:39] Its really not worth the effort it takes to get these broadcom wireless cards working [04:39] this is pretty insane [04:39] carandraug: have you ever written a script in it? If you have information on syntax or if you could look at my 4 line script you might be able to help. [04:40] what is best for writing cd/dvd ? [04:40] so the defaults 0 2, what do they stand for? [04:40] k3b or other [04:41] gnutoit2, i wrote a lot of dvd's with k3b, worked fine most of the time [04:41] Dragondef, man fstab [04:42] hosstest: ok, I'll take a look. Gimme me one minute [04:42] thanks [04:42] Dragondef, best check the man page, but as I recall defaults means mount as read/write, the first 0 has something to do with crash dumps, and the 2 has something to do with fsck [04:42] he's right you know^ [04:42] Dragondef, I think. [04:43] Thanks, I hate the man. it mean, ahhhh, that I have to read and think [04:43] Dragondef: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fstab [04:43] phpcurious, I"ve found a long thread about the rtl8187 usb device, and it requires compiling https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b , http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571046&page=13 . I'd suggest either waiting for intrepid (may work) or getting a cheap dongle after checking for supported devices [04:43] How do i add a GPG to my keyring, and where do i get the key i need? [04:43] Dragondef, you could always just go to Dell and get a machine with a bigger hd and linux pre-installed. No readie no thinkie [04:44] the man page is probably shorter than the wiki article [04:44] YEM: seahorse [04:44] Thanks for that dsnyders, and thanks for not making me feel like an idiot. And thanks to you all. [04:44] Oh, that's funny [04:44] YEM: You're looking for PGP [04:44] nickrud: ok let me check that out. thanks again!

Do you have any other suggestions????? [05:18] all of the guides i'm finding are out of date or don't work so i think i'm pretty much sol [05:18] dr3mro: It's a common issue - it'll be fixed someday - improvement has been substantial [05:18] YEM: what exactly is the problem? [05:18] always check on the distro websites for clues [05:18] !boot | jessid [05:18] jessid, please see my private message [05:18] jessid: disable extra services [05:19] I have a broadcom wireless card and its not supported, i have to get it to run on windows drivers which has been really complicated to get working, so far i've failed === sean is now known as Guest7916 [05:19] ndiswrapper then [05:19] Why do mencoder, and acid-rip packages say "BREAK" if I request to have them installed? [05:19] MTecknology i can do that using system > adminstration > services , right??? [05:19] I remember that [05:19] no i dont have the option is disappeared today after system crash [05:19] jessid: bum [05:19] MTecknology, It was working but disappeared today [05:20] dr3mro: odd... [05:20] hey does any one know how to get an apache2 webserver to be viewed but outsides? [05:20] not just locally [05:20] any one [05:20] lol [05:20] i tried using ndiswrapper but since i'm a newb to ubuntu its really me playing a guessing game and blindly follwing different guides that don't seem to work [05:21] MTecknology mmm perfect! thanks! [05:21] i did modify gdm.conf to enable shutdown that was not working and it was fixed but system freeze and restart it dont have hibernate [05:21] jessid: there's another one, but it's pretty advanced and could kill you're system pretty easily [05:22] So I resolved my dmraid problem by including dm-raid45 in the hook folder of initramfs, but when I boot the kernel is seems to only mount my root partition and not my /usr, /home/, /var, or /boot which are each on their own partition [05:22] I checked fstab and it looks correct [05:22] is there option in ubuntu to enable and disable it [05:22] sudo isn't working from the commandline [05:22] dr3mro: inside gconf-editor [05:22] MTecknology: I just tried out: "cat M2U00229.MPG * M2U00236.MPG > Video.MPG" and it join all the file together. But im just wondering when the final file is created it is 50 mb larger, is this normal? [05:22] I can login to my user account but that's it [05:23] bsusa: what did you do * for? [05:23] MTecknology which one you reffer to??? [05:23] its simpler [05:23] is * bad? [05:23] bsusa: * takes everything in the current workinf directory [05:23] yeh thats fine [05:24] i put only those files in it [05:24] bsusa: that more than likely includes part of the file you're pushing too [05:24] to* [05:24] ahh ok [05:24] Any ideas? [05:25] lawnninja: error? [05:25] it's not mounting my other partitions [05:25] so most of the commands on the commandline aren't recognized [05:25] i mean their has to be another way instead of creating a script every time you want to join files [05:25] YEM: I've had issues with ndiswrapper before. Try with the latest 8.10 alpha cd. See if it works better [05:25] mount is only listed my root partition [05:25] listing [05:26] MTecknology, It is enabled [05:26] MTecknology whick option you said it was very dangerous for the system???? [05:26] I need to mount like 4 more partitions [05:26] but I can't use sudo since it's currently not recognized [05:26] jessid: if you disable or alter the wrong service, your system won't boot [05:26] lawnninja: do you have which working? [05:26] lawnninja: which sudo [05:27] just sudo mount [05:27] says sudo is not recognized [05:27] MTecknology mmm I understand. So i better test in VirtualBox. Thanks man! [05:27] lawnninja: do "sudo mount" [05:27] good bye [05:27] I can login to the user account I created during install [05:27] jessid: good idea ;) [05:27] sudo: command not found [05:27] lawnninja: do "sudo mount" and tell me the output [05:27] lawnninja: "which sudo" sorry [05:27] MTecknology thanks a lot!!! good bye!

[05:29] lawnninja: execute "which sudo" [05:29] MTecknology: I used a different output folder for the final file, still the same size, does it add extra space on it when it converts the files? [05:29] bsusa: convert? [05:29] which commands you can excute? most can not? lawnninja [05:29] bsusa: cat doesn't convert anything [05:29] lawnninja: what is the problem? [05:29] sorry joins [05:30] mtecknology: which sudo returns blank results [05:30] Mtecknology I believe i installed the driver, should i try a restart now to see if the wireless connection comes up? [05:30] why didn't my other partitions get mounted from /etc/fstab when I booted [05:30] lawnninja: what about if you execute "/usr/bin/sudo" [05:30] lawnninja: wanna give us a minute to figure out some other thigns [05:31] lawnninja: whed did u created them? [05:31] mtecknology /usr is on another partition in my raid array which isn't mounted for some reason [05:31] YEM: good luck [05:31] lawnninja: wrong fstab line, perhaps [05:31] are we just oscillating in a sea of positive and negative energy? [05:31] Riders on the Storm [05:31] I think that's why none of the commands work [05:31] so I need to figure out why it didn't mount them [05:31] yup [05:31] I noticed uuid lines in fstab [05:31] do I need those? [05:32] MTecknology: if he got a error PATH, i think some error would be shown.

(automatically setup my interfaces and such).. or do I have to do it by hand? [07:16] goldmetal, I honestly don't know, i've just heard amsn works better with msn than pidgin [07:16] goldmetal, that could be an msn thing [07:16] atm0sph: www.pendrivelinux.com has a lot of stuff [07:16] chubs, yes. it's two different protocals. === klungkung is now known as wiramaswara [07:17] Slart: if you run lspci do you not get a network card listed?

[07:18] ActionParsnip: and dmesg mentions a network card.. and udev renames it from eth0 to eth2.. but I still can't see this eth2 anywhere.. not eth0 either for that matter [07:18] Slart: then its fine, just set it up with your favourite network tool or edit /etc/network/interfaces file [07:18] chubs, if it does not work... i will have to wine it [07:19] ActionParsnip: did that.. didn't do anything.. I just added two lines to the interfaces file.. "auto eth0" and "iface eth0 inet dhcp", that ought to be enough, or? [07:19] goldmetal, some people who have trouble with msn fix it by logging onto msn in windows once [07:19] and that'll fix it for some reason [07:19] Slart: didnt you say it was eth2 [07:20] hey, I'm having trouble getting office to run because of this error "javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment!"

[08:05] Roy_M, otherwise you can recompile your kernel if that's what you're asking [08:05] okay for whatever reason, (and I think im not doing it right) but i have 2 .gzip files on my desktop..and im trying to extract with the command: gzip filename_location/filename -d [08:06] where am i wrong? [08:06] chubs, hmm I might try recompiling my kernel if it is not too hard [08:06] i also have the .xml file if that helps [08:06] Roy_M, it's not too hard, just time consuming.

[08:30] Kartagis: Are you sure its not already enabled? Have you tried?

But yes, it should play from there, it's odd that it doesn't [08:34] login doesn't play either [08:34] Like I said before, my internet keeps connecting and disconnecting [08:35] logixoul: Have you tried System -> Administration -> Hardware?

Firefox has no "embedded decoder" [08:39] Pirate_Hunter: you may have installed the mplayer plugin [08:40] ActionParsnip: logixoul: I think he is talking about totem [08:40] Jordan_U: Thanks for your help, I need to get to bed [08:40] it's too late to try working on this [08:40] Pirate_Hunter: and with regards to "better" and "best"...try both to see which you prefer...that one is the "best" [08:40] ActionParsnip, logixoul: ok cause im installing mplayer and just saw it, i guess im confusing it for embedded java when streaming clips, no problem will install it and see if it is better when streaming [08:41] more likely you're confusing it with flash video players like youtube [08:41] Pirate_Hunter: i like the mplayer one but i like mplayer in general over vlc so i use it [08:42] ActionParsnip: will try mplayer first than for a week or so than try vlc i doubt i can have both installed and choose which i want to choose [08:42] logixoul: yah you're right i was confusing myself, yah its flash not java :'( [08:42] youo can have both installed, just not the mozilla plugin for both [08:43] hello, how can I print a list of directories and the size of each one ?

[09:34] nathanielneall: you might not be able to in linux, i guess you could rename it if you wanted to keep it [09:34] nathanielneall: depends if you gots enough space [09:34] ActionParsnip, i think i just want to move all my data to one HD so i can install windows on the free one, so i guess my question is which hard drive to move everything to [09:35] nathanielneall: your choice, think about how much space you need for the system OS [09:37] ActionParsnip, well id like to put the OS on the 80 gig and primarily use the 500 for everything else execept a few other things [09:37] where do i go to view the source code for a particular project? specifically, the workspace-switcher deskbar applet? [09:38] ActionParsnip, i was also wondering which folders if not all from the current filesystem drive (containg bin, boot, home, media, etc.) needed to be kept to keep everything but linux [09:38] anyone know where sounds are stord in Xchat ? [09:39] hi, anyone here tried installing 8.04 on an Alix platform? (has AMD Geode processor (500MHz) and 256MB RAM). I've been trying for few days now, but all the installers fail to start (they freeze without any message after loading vmlinuz) ...

[09:39] sh4lindev: did you try the alternate install disc? [09:40] nathanielneall: you could parttion the 500 1 for OS and 1 for data then use a small partition for temp stuff and swap file to make your system faster [09:40] kieko, looking thanks [09:40] is TKIP or ASE (wpa2 personal) in knome? [09:40] !wpa | Swilky [09:40] Swilky: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [09:41] brandonmpace: yep, even the server version ... neither worked. But 7.10 works fine ... [09:41] sh4lindev: did you md5 check your image and burned disk? === root is now known as Guest50273 [09:42] sh4lindev: well I would stick with 7.10 because on machines slower than 1.2Ghz it runs a lot faster. I mean a lot! [09:42] i wish to make a quick proxy connection to youtube, which package would allow me to do this on the fly? [09:42] kieko, where is the pref folder found can you give me the path please [09:43] md5 is ok [09:43] my nvidea 9600 gt grafical card can't be detected.....help pls... [09:43] ActionParsnip, ok but right now that filesystem drive is all that takes up that 80 gig hard drive so i now know that most of that drive is to go to the 500 as data and im just gonna install the OS on the 80. what i ultimately want to know is which folders are important to save from the 80 and which i can just let go in the formatting of it [09:43] ActionParsnip, does that make sense? [09:43] So what should I do with my 1.0 Celeron box? 8.04 and upgrade to 8.10? Is it going to be that bad? [09:44] I run server on it BTW... === marko_ is now known as marko-_- [09:44] well, 7.10 would be ok, but i'd like to try 8.04 preformance [09:44] seriously can someone help me run a proxy for youtube it is seriously getting annoying not being able to view music clips [09:44] !nvidia | belleke [09:45] belleke: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [09:45] nathanielneall: id just backup what you need and remove it all but if theres stuff you need, then harvest that too [09:45] Pirate_Hunter: no idea how, why do you want a proxy? [09:45] sh4lindev: well I promise it´s nothing special on a slower machine, I have a 733Mhz and I actually switched back to 7.10 after about two weeks of 8.04 [09:46] any of you guys hot/warm plug sata/esata? got a script i wanted to share if so [09:46] ActionParsnip, right i think im trying to shortcut the process of looking for what i need by asking what folders the OS files for ubuntu live in [09:46] ActionParsnip: need proxy for youtube, they've implemented country ban on music videos :/ [09:46] brandonmpace: what desktop manager do you use? === st3ph-x is now known as St3ph [09:46] i wish to make a quick proxy connection to youtube, which package would allow me to do this on the fly?

[09:47] ActionParsnip, my question is what is the linux equvilent of the WINDOWS folder i guess [09:47] its saying an error occured action [09:47] Pirate_Hunter: privoxy FF plugin [09:48] its telling me to manually run something to solve problem [09:48] nathanielneall: /etc i guess but there are files all over the place, you should just copy your home folder and you should be fine [09:48] tyso1: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -f install [09:48] Jordan_U, ActionParsnip: will try [09:48] what is a good program to mount .iso files (gui based) [09:48] ok cool thanks === blackkatt is now known as blackkatt_ [09:48] tyso1: run what its saying in terminal === blackkatt_ is now known as blackkatt [09:49] brandonmpace: all right, guess i'll just stick with 7.10 as well :) have you experienced any dependecy problems in 7.10 so far? (i mean because of older kernel / older version of packages or so?) [09:49] tyso1: its telling you what to do [09:49] hey , is there anybody knows something about to create you tv-card on ubuntu? [09:49] Daft_Punk: giso i believe [09:49] Daft_Punk: why gui? its a very small command to run [09:49] can we lock folders in ubuntu [09:49] in the command line? [09:49] ActionParsnip, like are the lib and usr folders just programs installed by synaptic and is home the rough equivalent to documents and settings? [09:49] tyso1: yes, run whatever it said in terminal [09:49] mohadib, because i said so [09:49] ok :) [09:49] nathanielneall: yes === blackkatt is now known as blackkatt_ [09:49] ActionParsnip, thank you [09:49] thanks === blackkatt_ is now known as blackkatt [09:49] Where do I find the sha1sum or md5sum for the CD I'm downloading from ubuntu.com? [09:49] Daft_Punk: its a ludicrously simple mount command [09:50] ActionParsnip, i realize that... but that is not what i require [09:50] ckyle: its in the same place you got the iso [09:50] ActionParsnip: hidemyass.com did the trick :( [09:50] sh4lindev: no I don´t recall any. the kernel used is not so old as to be terribly outdated lol. I don´t think it´s a dinosaur yet [09:50] mount -o loop /data/foo.iso /mnt/iso [09:50] hey , is there anybody knows something about to create you tv-card on ubuntu? [09:50] stefan__: define "create" [09:51] action parsnip its telling me in order to run the command it requires super user privelages [09:52] tyso1: put sudo at the beginning of it [09:52] ok [09:52] that was great help f**k you all [09:53] ActionParsnip, thanks for all the help it seems to be working seamlessly. feel a bit like a Judas for going back to windows. but im not paying microsoft for it so thats something [09:53] nathanielneall: piracy sucks [09:54] hi, is there a library for reading cd-text from audio CDs ? [09:54] so does price gouging [09:54] ActionParsnip, it isnt piracy, my friend works for an ISP so hes giving me a copy of their coporate [09:54] brandonmpace: all right :) [09:54] whatever, its your system [09:55] hi.. is there a developers channel? [09:56] i think maybe #ubuntu-dev [09:56] pythonic: /j #ubuntu-devel [09:56] k, thanks :-) [09:56] thats true. i find linux and all unix variations to be brilliant for developers, but as for the functionality as a personal computer, some companies just do a better job at owning the world and thus controlling program distribution [09:57] but i dont think thats the intended topic of this channel [09:57] nathanielneall: it doesnt work for everybody, but if you wanna use an OS you must pay in some way [09:57] What is the name of that game for Linux that everyone says is really good? I think it's a turn-based strategy game. [09:57] action parsnip i thank you for your patience sir and appreciate the advice it worked [09:58] Timberwolf5578: openciv :D [09:58] tyso1: np man [09:59] Timberwolf5578: freeciv, wesnoth, there´s a few [09:59] :D [09:59] agreed. it all went to shit when UI's got further along than DOS lol [09:59] Timberwolf5578: a great game is urban terror if you like fps [10:00] wait what in hell? i was supposed to go to sleep, not bring irc up again [10:00] haha [10:01] alright well its time for me to knock off. you all have a nice life [10:01] i'm getting: Exclamation (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) ... even after disabling the restricted modules "nv nvidia_new" in /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules .... and even after swapping out everything into a new motherboard .... what to do now? [10:01] battle for wesnoth [10:01] that's the one [10:01] arooni: you tried envyng-gtk? [10:02] Timberwolf5578: also try frets on fire :D [10:02] Timberwolf5578, if you like that you should try stratego: i think it can be run on wine [10:02] hey parsnip you know ho to get limewire working once its been downloaded? [10:03] !limewire | tyso1 [10:03] tyso1: limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install /msg ubotu java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider /msg ubotu FrostWire as an alternative. [10:03] its like chess meets CTF meets risk meets some other shit with bombs and secrets [10:03] arooni: what's your graphics card and Ubuntu version? [10:03] tyso1, never use limewire, never [10:03] sh4lindev, nvidia geforce 8600gts / ubuntu 8.04 [10:04] wha to use then nathaniel? [10:04] ubuntu comes with an amazing torrent client, its called transmission, best i ever used [10:04] better than utorrent [10:04] arooni: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new [10:04] tyso1: instead of using limewire just go download frostwire www.frostwire.com [10:04] ActionParsnip, thats another thing [10:04] nathanielneall: i use ktorrent, its got a php web interface too [10:04] they have easy to use interfaces? [10:05] nathanielneall: its only better to you, millions would disagree [10:05] ActionParsnip, i have a ratio of 3.0 right now [10:05] nathanielneall: thats nothing to do with your client [10:05] ActionParsnip, i find it great just cos its the fastest ive used thats what i base it on [10:05] nathanielneall: thats you seeding [10:05] tyso1: I would recommend not using the limewire network anyways but you can also do torrents with frostwire [10:05] nathaniel does transmission have a easy to use interface? [10:06] !torrent | tyso [10:06] tyso: Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P [10:06] tyso1: and it´s open source, frostwire is [10:06] Hey, I want to install ubuntu on my laptop. I think the system detects my temperatures wrong, as it shuts down with a warning about temperature when I try to install. The temperature is not that high... about 60c. I'm using the alternate disc. [10:06] id say so. you double click the torrent and it downloads [10:06] any staff members around? [10:06] then you open ur download folder and enjow [10:06] tyso1: just set .torrent files to open with the client and it'll be fine [10:06] arooni: guess ActionParsnip is right :) [10:07] Weird remote terminal problem after changing my remote server from debian to ubuntu. When I open up a text file in an editor and scroll down the screen does not refresh its self. So I have to continuously press Ctrl-L to update the screen. Has anybody seen this before? I have no idea what's wrong. [10:07] ok so then how do i get rid of limewire now that ive downloaded it? [10:07] Phloam: what laptop make and model? [10:07] HP Tx2500 [10:07] tyso1: is it installed? [10:07] i think so?

[10:08] tyso1: its possibly on your desktop, or in home [10:08] !cloak | blackkatt [10:08] blackkatt: Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as !TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [10:08] or when i get rid of linux will it all go back to zero like with leahman bros and AIG [10:08] ActionParsnip, when I mark the acpi=off it gives me a "kernel panic not syncing" errror. === sean is now known as Guest49152 [10:09] Phloam: did you md5 check the iso as well as the cd you burned? [10:09] yea it's not a CD issue. Done both checks. [10:09] cool its not there so im good. thanks again parsnip [10:09] ActionParsnip well hehe thats why i ask [10:09] not memory either [10:09] for a staff =) [10:10] ActionParsnip, I did both checks, and I checked the memory too. [10:10] Phloam: does the live cd run ok? [10:11] ActionParsnip the live CD doesen't work either. Just shuts down same as alt, but without a warning. [10:11] What is good to download with a new Mint installation? [10:12] Phloam: check your bios settings then dude [10:12] Timberwolf5578: depends what you wanna use your pc for [10:12] ActionParsnip, what should I look for? I've not actually touched bios. it's a pretty new laptop... [10:12] What is the default image viewer on mint? [10:13] Phloam: load failsafe settings and disable all unnecessary devices [10:13] Does Mint come with a photo album program? [10:13] Timberwolf5578: does mint use gnome or kde? [10:13] gnome [10:13] ActionParsnip, ok thanks man.

[10:15] has anyone tried minibuntu here? [10:15] Timberwolf5578: there is no "best" or thats all that Ubuntu would come with [10:15] anyone familiar with this error in domU Attempt to allocate order 5 skbuff. Increase MAX_SKBUFF_ORDER. [10:16] ok, what a good one? [10:16] i tried installing ubuntu on my GF's laptop and it wouldn't let me, i've been looking through small distros but most don't seem to be able to install debpackages on their own, right now i'm downloading xubuntu but i heard of minibuntu [10:16] Timberwolf5578: theres gwenview or eye of gnome [10:16] i tried installing ubuntu on my GF's laptop and it wouldn't let me, i've been looking through small distros but most don't seem to be able to install debpackages on their own, right now i'm downloading xubuntu but i heard of minibuntu [10:16] which is better? [10:16] and i thought i'd come here and ask [10:16] Timberwolf5578: neither [10:16] as it is an unofficial [10:17] Timberwolf5578: try them to see which you prefer [10:17] CostaRicanQuaker: did you md5 check the image you downloaded as well as the disk [10:17] CostaRicanQuaker: Do you mean the 10MB one? [10:18] ActionParsnip, is it safe to get rid of the adun folder in in home? [10:18] yes, they were the original ubuntu hardy cd's from canonical [10:18] got them from shipit [10:18] CostaRicanQuaker-> have you been nice to your GF so she would let you ? [10:18] tried both the ubuntu and the kubuntu version [10:18] Timberwolf5578: http://en.linuxreviews.org/Image-viewers [10:18] CostaRicanQuaker: I am actually just about to try to install that to my sister in laws laptop. [10:18] amenado: yes i have and yes she will [10:18] minibuntu? [10:19] CostaRicanQuaker: yes [10:19] well my problem is, a) it's an unofficial release so i don't know if i should trust it [10:19] b) it apparently doens't have a GUI [10:19] CostaRicanQuaker: But I th ink it'll pretty much be command line only, will that be enough? [10:19] CostaRicanQuaker: Yeah [10:19] and i don't know how to install it from command line [10:19] i mean will sudo aptitude install work on any shell? [10:20] CostaRicanQuaker: should do as long as you have valid repos [10:20] CostaRicanQuaker: Well, simply because I don't think it'll have the featurs you want, you shouldn't install it anyway. I am either doing that or building my own Linux from scratch, so, i have different reasons. [10:20] right now i'm downloading a gutsy version of xubuntu, but i'm not sure if i should do that [10:20] hey actionparsnip i just downloaded frostwire but i cant seem to be able to get it to run. or install. im such a noob [10:21] i want to insall darkice through synaptic but when i do it installs it without lame support. I read in some darkice site that all i need to do is include --with-lame-prefix=/usr/local/lib . Is there any way to add this option to synaptic? === PKnull is now known as Pooky [10:21] tyso1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWirhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire [10:21] ActionParsnip: if i start installing this miniubuntu and have the computer plugged to a cable modem [10:21] i willbe bale to sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop right? [10:21] CostaRicanQuaker: as long as the modem works [10:22] CostaRicanQuaker: if you connect to it with ethernet it should be ok [10:22] https://answers.launchpad.net/minibuntu/+faq/35 [10:22] What is eye of gnome called in the repos? [10:22] eog [10:22] ActionParsnip, can you hceck that link and tell me what it means... [10:23] CostaRicanQuaker-> what happened to the regular ubuntu liveCD ? [10:23] CostaRicanQuaker: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire [10:23] apparently eye of gnome is already installed, how to I run the program?? [10:23] it wouldn't install [10:23] CostaRicanQuaker: the top section tells all [10:23] hallo guys...whatz up...!!! [10:23] CostaRicanQuaker-> does it even run on liveCD mode? [10:24] ActionParsnip, huh? frostwire? [10:24] sorry, wrong target [10:24] Hi everyone. I was wondering if there exists a list of popular chipsets and their compatibility with Ubuntu. I'm asking, since I'm in the business of upgrading my motherboard, and I want to make sure I will still be able to run Ubuntu :) [10:24] amenado, it wouldn't install [10:24] anyway...anyone from indonesiaa??? [10:24] CostaRicanQuaker: it basically means "if it breaks, you get both halves" [10:25] it ran a couple times really really slow from the kubuntu canonical cd [10:25] CostaRicanQuaker-> does it even run on liveCD mode? not install but just run from the cdrom [10:25] how can i list the wifi network in terminal? [10:25] arunvkumar: sudo iwlist [10:25] it ran really slow from the cd rom amenado, but the screen was smaller like it was smaller than the screen [10:25] k [10:25] k [10:25] and then it would get stuck when i'd try to install from the livecd [10:26] hu...this room so boring... [10:26] CostaRicanQuaker-> it should be much slower in livecd than if installed .. [10:26] its a support channel, not an entertainment channel angie... [10:26] well it just got stuck [10:26] CostaRicanQuaker-> then try the alternate cd === odder_ is now known as odder [10:26] !ot | angie [10:26] angie: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [10:27] oiya??? [10:27] (I tried searching the forums for a post about this chipset, but nothing came up) [10:27] Why do Linux Distros not like 4 primary partitions? [10:27] well ithink im not in the right room... [10:27] amenado, right now i'm downloading the alternate cd for xubuntu gutsy, thinking it might be lighter and easier to run and perhaps a smaller kernel than the current hardy version [10:27] Timberwolf5578-> bios limits you to about two primary [10:28] CostaRicanQuaker-> you currently have what os on it? [10:28] windows xp [10:28] on her laptop [10:28] what r u guys talk abiut it...??? [10:28] One primary partition for my WinXP and 3 logical for the Linux distro works great. But 3 primary for Linux causes problems sometimes. [10:28] she has xp which i installed after not being able to install kubuntu hardy [10:28] oohh...god...help me... [10:28] angie: wassup? [10:29] Timberwolf5578-> bios limits you to about two primaries.. [10:29] yeah great...actionparnship... [10:29] <__machine> i have about 25 machines on a LAN and something is sucking up way too much bandwidth... how can i listen in to all network traffic and see who is using how much? [10:29] great in this room...huh... [10:29] angie: you can use tab to autocomplete [10:29] <[[thufir]]> is there some way to manually "update all" from the command line? [10:29] angie: its a support room, not idle chatter about randomstuff [10:30] __machine, you could use etherape, kindof... [10:30] What do you mean "update all? [10:30] <__machine> how does etherape work? [10:30] [[thufir]]: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [10:30] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [10:30] __machine, google. [10:30] <[[thufir]]> ActionParsnip: thanks [10:30] does anyone know of a free or OS collaboration website ? or application i can put on my host ? [10:30] dassouki: how do you mean? [10:31] dassouki: Bitweaver [10:31] This is a tip for everyone. If you already have Windows installed and want a dual boot system, use LOGICAL partitions for Linux, NOT primary partitions. [10:31] dassouki: OS Collaboration? [10:31] ActionParsnip, is it better to download an old version of xubuntu or should i download hardy¿? hers is an old toshiba sat laptop with about 248 mb ram [10:31] __machine-> how did you determine its taking up so much bandwidth? [10:31] oooo...thats why this room so boring...anyway i cant stay here to long...it make me crazy... [10:31] amenado [10:31] ActionParsnip: free or open source [10:31] CostaRicanQuaker: id get hardy [10:31] CW: thanks :D [10:31] You don't want to throw dist-upgrade in there unless you actually want to upgrade version numbers. [10:31] <__machine> amenado: our ISP told us we've used 90% of our monthly quota in 4 days... [10:31] dassouki: all distros of linux and bsd are collaborations of OSS [10:31] ActionParsnip, any chance that though ubuntu and kubuntu wouldn't install xubuntu might' [10:31] Timberwolf5578 and why is that? [10:31] ¿?* [10:32] <[[thufir]]> ActionParsnip: I still have lotsa old software, nothing really happened -- but it did report success. [10:32] CostaRicanQuaker: you can sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [10:32] Because Linux distros DO NOT like to be on primary partitions on a dual boot (Win & Linux) system.

[10:32] ActionParsnip: :@ i'm looking for a tool similar to basecamp or a collaboration for applications that ican put on my linux server !! jeebuz [10:32] __machine-> do you have any tools to be able to dispute this claim? ie do you have like a firewall that have counters that can show your usage? its bit counter? [10:32] I've had no problems as yet [10:33] ActionParsnip, i mean, my girlfriends computer is an old laptop that wouldn't let me install ubuntu or kubuntu, is there a chance that if i download the iso for xubuntu i will be able to install it? [10:33] CostaRicanQuaker: you could install fluxbuntu [10:33] <[[thufir]]> ActionParsnip: Ubuntu 8.04.1 \n \l [10:33] anyone available to help me configure xchat a little bit please? i would like to change the way it looks if at all possible [10:33] <__machine> nope... am getting them to "investigate" but they claim their tools are almost certainly accurate... in all probability it's more likely someone or something at our end is actually using too much bandwidth... i just need to track down where/what it is... [10:34] ActionParsnip, i have heard of it but apparently it's not the same as ubuntu or kubuntu or xubuntu in that you can't run the same apps and share repos and all [10:34] CostaRicanQuaker: it runs great [10:34] hi how do i convert a .ogg video to .mpeg? can ffmpeg do that? if so..what's the command? [10:35] speedhunt3r: ogg to what? [10:35] sorry [10:35] brainspazz [10:35] ActionParsnip, either .avi or .mpeg [10:35] __machine: Have had the same issue in corporate network, had to install IPCOP with Advanced Proxy. Stopped it quickly, but never found what it was. [10:35] ActionParsnip, but will i be able to download packages from kde, xfce and gnome on it and have those DE's as login options? if install fluxbuntu? [10:35] speedhunt3r: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=644120 [10:35] CostaRicanQuaker: absolutely [10:36] __machine-> if you had a T-1 to your ISP, the t-1 modem (dsu) has historical bit counter [10:36] <__machine> i just have an adsl connection [10:37] ActionParsnip, without having to install them on a different partition, that is to say, will i be able to just log on to the terminal on fluxbuntu and type sudo apt-get xubunt-desktop and it will install and then i can log out and login on xfce? [10:37] !who | __machine [10:37] __machine: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [10:37] CostaRicanQuaker: yeah, just logoff and change session type [10:37] Mint is so good, it's just ridiculous. [10:37] <__machine> amenado: sorry, will do [10:38] __machine you adsl also have some bit counters...look into them [10:38] adsl modem* [10:39] Timberwolf5578: That's the power of the open source model. Rather than competing interests, everyone builds on each other's success. Ubuntu built on Debian's success, and Debian is free to re-incorporate those innovations. Mint built on Ubuntu's success, and Ubuntu can re-incorporate those innovations. [10:39] <[[thufir]]> ActionParsnip: Ubuntu 8.04.1, and nothing really updates. I think I turned off apt-cache, perhaps. [10:39] If they want, or not. [10:39] [[thufir]]: try it, yuo can always re-enable [10:39] Just as other browsers can build on Firefox, or Google Chrome, or trade, or whatever. That's the power of the open source model. [10:39] ActionParsnip, has this always been true of fluxbuntu? are you sure? i went ot the fluxbuntu channel months ago and they told me that it was separate from ubuntu, that i'd have to make a partition and install ubuntu on a different partition as it's a whole different distro [10:40] <__machine> amenado: if i were to simply setup firewall access rules inbound and outbound... what rules would be appropriate to allow general / legit access? [10:40] ActionParsnip, if what you're saying is true i can just sudo aptitude install fluxbuntu-desktop no? [10:40] CostaRicanQuaker: you can install kubuntu then install fluxbox ontop of it [10:40] CostaRicanQuaker: sudo apt-get install fluxbox [10:40] CostaRicanQuaker: then logout and change session type to fluxbox [10:41] how to force a .deb to install on ur machine? dpkg --force package.deb ? [10:41] CostaRicanQuaker: id download and install Ubuntu then go from there [10:41] speedhunt3r: sudo dpkg -i ./debfile.deb [10:41] __machine-> for one, did you do a traffic analysis before you ordered your bandwitdh from your ISP? things like how many erlangs.. [10:41] fluxbox != fluxbuntu [10:41] <[[thufir]]> ActionParsnip: pardon, try what? I tried those commands you gave. they ran, but nothing updated. [10:41] ActionParsnip, but my point is: her laptop won't let me install kubuntu/ubuntu hence i'm asking for something lighter you suggested fluxbuntu, what i'm asking is wether i can install fluxbuntu and then XFCE on top of it [10:41] [[thufir]]: then you are ok [10:42] CostaRicanQuaker: damnsmalllinux or puppy linux [10:42] If the fluxbuntu people are telling you something different, go with that they say. They control their "revision" of Ubuntu. [10:42] no,i want it to be a *buntu...so i'm thinking of installing xubuntu [10:42] and then getting the gnome and kde packages [10:42] <__machine> amenado: we have been using a fairly consistent amount of bandwidth for 1-2 years and now we have almost exceeded that monthly limit in 4 days... we're only a small company with no dedicated network admin and few process such as traffic analysis :) [10:42] So install it. [10:43] CostaRicanQuaker-> ok, start with damn small linux ..and then use debootstrap to install ubuntu flavor [10:43] CostaRicanQuaker: you could always get the alternative cd and build up the distro from there [10:43] Hi, how can I make a program launch at start ? [10:43] CostaRicanQuaker: you can enable apt-get in puppy linux too [10:43] sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [10:43] is there any way in synaptic to install some app with specific options . I want to install darkice with this option --with-lame-prefix=/usr/lib/ [10:43] !startup | platyhelminthh [10:44] platyhelminthh: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [10:44] I've tried it. It's nice. but I like Gnome. [10:44] is there any way in synaptic to install some app with specific options . I want to install darkice with this option --with-lame-prefix=/usr/lib/ [10:44] ActionParsnip, amenado, but i want to install a completely ubuntu based system that will run on low specs and willopen and compile debpackages on its own [10:44] __machine-> have you looked at the adsl bit counters yet see how they have been behaving lately? [10:45] kosnick: sudo apt-get install darkice --with-lame-prefix=/usr/lib/ [10:45] ActionParsnip: i install application map frm sybaptic pakage manager now where i found this applaication to run [10:45] CostaRicanQuaker: then xubuntu is ideal [10:45] <[[thufir]]> but I have tomcat 5.5 and not 6.0. how do I update tomcat pls? [10:45] i already downloaded puppylinux just in case and i tried the livecd on my computer andit wouldn't load xorg, so i'm not sure it will work on my GFs laptop [10:45] kosnick: Does that work? [10:45] ActionParsnip, xubuntu hardy alternate cd? [10:45] CostaRicanQuaker-> do you want to get started? debootstrap install the most basic portion of ubuntu, [10:45] ActionParsnip: i install application map frm sybaptic pakage manager now where i found this applaication to run [10:45] FalsePositive : let me try [10:45] danish: run it from cli or check in your menus [10:46] Anyone here with any experience of running Ubuntu on an nvidia 790i chipset ? === kaning is now known as constrictor [10:46] <__machine> amenado: trying to find info on adsl bit counters didn't produce my help... lots of links to bittorrent and other stuff... my adsl modem is in bridge mode connected to a switch/router which does nat and which is connected to a bigger switch... im thinking it may be hard to gain access to the modem to check bit counters [10:46] FalsePositive : unfortunately not [10:47] __machine-> try to look into that switch/router for historical data, it may shed some light [10:48] zr0gee: all i can find is people slating them man [10:48] kosnick: Looks like a flag you would add at compile time. [10:48] kosnick: You might want to compile the source code with that flag. [10:48] ActionParsnip: hehe, ok - thx anyway [10:49] FalsePositive: i already tried this but i am not that good , something is not working as it should [10:49] <__machine> amenado: i checked the traffic on each port of the switch but it did not help much because it includes LAN traffic, and there are many many gb traffic copies across the file server each day from most machines... [10:49] zr0gee: give it a go man [10:49] amenado, in the instance that the alternate xubuntu hardy cd i'm downloading doesn't work, you tellme i should try to install damn small linux and then debootstrap to install ubuntu? is there a link you cna show me onhow to do that [10:50] ActionParsnip: Yeah, I will. Might be an idea to write something up @ the forums, after I get my hands dirty :P [10:50] CostaRicanQuaker-> i dont have an immediate access to a link, but you can google for debootstrap+ubuntu install [10:51] zr0gee: hands dirty is fun [10:51] amenado: do you think xubuntu alternate install might work? [10:51] <[[thufir]]> is tomcat 6 available? [10:51] __machine-> perhaps filter it for the outgoing traffic towards the ISP and not all the traffic in you local subnet [10:51] <[[thufir]]> http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/1583/ [10:51] ActionParsnip: i agree :) [10:51] kosnick: yes, according to this web page: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-216790.html [10:51] CostaRicanQuaker-> i will give it a try, and good luck to you my friend [10:51] That is a flag for compiling. [10:52] sir plz tell me wat is cli [10:52] where i found this [10:53] ActionParsnip: [10:53] command line interface [10:53] then wat i do [10:53] meaning its your terminal [10:53] in this [10:53] FalsePositive : yes i know it is a flag for compiling. [10:53] yes [10:54] !cli | danish_ [10:54] danish_: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).

[10:55] can i buy a pre built system that comes with ubuntu? (dual mon) [10:56] danish_: type the name of the program you installed [10:56] ask hp or dell? [10:56] arooni: dell do it [10:56] ok i opened this cli now wat i do ActionParsnip === iFvwm is now known as iGoogle [10:56] kosnick: Where's the source? [10:56] arooni: http://www.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/linux_3x?c=us&cs=19 [10:57] ok i opened this cli now wat i do ActionParsnip [10:57] danish_; type thename of the program you installed and hit enter [10:57] danish-> first thing you should do is open the web browser, point to google and look for linux beginners tutorial [10:57] oks [10:57] Hi guys, does this channel support the Alternate (LTSP) aspect of ubuntu as well or is there another channel i can be redirected to? - thanks. [10:57] danish_: i literally copied and pasted what I said, why did you only do it on the second go? [10:58] Dyllan: yeah [10:58] sir i found this one [10:58] ActionParsnip, have you ever installed ubuntu from another system with debootstrap? [10:58] danish_: then run it [10:59] CostaRicanQuaker: never, i always do a clean install of kubuntu then sling either fluxbox or compiz on it depending on if Im drunk or not [10:59] Well, when I tried to ./configure darkice, I got some errors about not having the lame library. Do you have that? [11:00] FalsePositive: maybe sudo apt-get install liblame [11:00] FalsePositive: check in synaptic for lame to see what comes up [11:00] FalsePositive : well i had those errors too - then i installed some libraries . The libraries you need to be ok with these errors are the lib***-dev ones [11:01] where *** comes lame or alsa or ogg vorbis [11:01] It's sudo apt-get install lame [11:01] Super. I have a couple questions regarding the Ubuntu LTSP project. I currently have 4 linux servers which my staff connect to via the XDMCP protocol which is built into their thin client, i use both IGEL & WYSE technology. What i am trying to establish is if it is better to use LTSP which my thin clients will boot via PXE or continue to use XDMCP, what are my advantages/disadvantages? [11:01] if you need exactly the libraries tell me to check on them [11:01] configure: error: neither lame, Ogg Vorbis, faac nor twolame configured [11:02] newb compile media software is hard [11:02] FalsePositive : you need for each one the proper library [11:02] for the lame it is the liblame-dev [11:02] iGoogle: if you have the deps its easy [11:02] a lot of lib* you need [11:03] ok, so I isntalled liblame-dev and ran ./configure --with-lame-prefix=/usr/lib/ and it worked. at least no errors. [11:03] Dyllan-> i dont think many of us is familiar with IGEL & WYSE technology..so we can not compare [11:03] now I'm MAKEing [11:03] FalseP. : what about make install [11:03] ? [11:04] ok [11:05] FalsePositive: you'll need sudo for make install [11:05] I did. [11:05] Where the binary? [11:06] i never used sudo , i just did use it so i have to check on it [11:06] FalsePositive: it'll be in /usr/bin so you can just type its name (tab complete if you want) [11:07] Normally one dose 'sudo make isntall' unless you set up ./configure to isntall to the users home directory [11:07] To compile alsa I need to execute ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel. How can I do that with module-assistant? [11:07] Hey guys, I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 on my laptop. After I restarted i'm getting a hardware driver notification. It says that I need to install it If I want to use 3D applications and stuff. [11:07] But when I try to install it say error [11:07] amenado: forget the tech, just think of it as a thin client, i mean LTSP all it provides as far as ican see is a thin client to receive the desktop image from the server, which xdmcp does the same. If LTSP provided desktop management tools that would allow me to lockdown the desktop and make changes across the board that will affect all users in the same group it would be worthwhile, sort of like the kiosk tool provided by KDE. [11:07] Hey, I have Microsoft Windows XP installed on a 40GB, which is my primary drive, and Ubuntu on a 200GB plugged in as my secondary drive, only because I needed to install ubuntu in order to save files, what's the easiest way to switch them and remove XP, so my 200 GB is my main drive and just boots into ubuntu and I can format my 40GB for something besides windows [11:07] abhijeet: what graphics card do you have? [11:07] nVidia [11:08] exatly what I don't know [11:08] !nvidia | abhijeet [11:08] abhijeet: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [11:08] !envyng-gtk | abhijeet [11:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about envyng-gtk [11:08] amenado: All im really trying to do is create a locked down desktop for my staff to use, but i want to be able to maintain it easily. [11:08] Joshooa, set the bios to boot the other hd is one easy way. [11:08] ok I'll try that [11:08] !envyng | abhijeet [11:08] abhijeet: 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 [11:08] Joshooa, you may need to install grub to the 2nd hd however. [11:09] FalsePositive : how can i uninstall this now that i have MAKEd it? [11:09] dr_willis: That's what I think too. Mainly, I just want to format my 40GB, but it'll erase the MBR and grub and stuff, so when I reboot, what'll happen? [11:10] I can wait til 8.10 to move the hard drives around and just format everything then [11:10] Joshooa, formating it willnot erase the mbr. [11:10] !envyng-gtk....is that a terminal command line [11:10] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:10] koshari: make uninstall [11:10] ? [11:10] Joshooa, in fact. you coud proberly boot now, and tell it to install grub to both hd's so it wont matter what one you booted from - you would get the same menu. [11:11] abhijeet, its a bot command tio make the bot print out a URL/info line - like it just did [11:11] dr_willis: So, even though my comp looks at the 40GB for grub which tells it to boot Ubuntu on my 200GB, which I'm running now, if I use gparted to format the 40GB and partition it up and stuff, when I reboot everything will still be ok? [11:11] abhijeet: its a gui app to install ati and nvidia drivers, you need gksu to run it as it needs root privs [11:11] you want uninstall soft that you make install before? kosnick [11:11] Joshooa, should be. I do that kind of stuff all the time. [11:11] dr_willis: Well i want it to be just Ubuntu on there, no more windows XP, I am dual booting and want just linux left [11:11] does dell pre built ubuntu boxes do a good job? [11:12] Joshooa, if all else fails - you install grub to the ubuntu hd. and tell the system to boot it instead. [11:12] abhijeet: the only downside is that you must switch to vesa driver if you upgrade kernel so yu can rerun envyng-gtk again [11:12] Dyllan-> I dont seem to see that much difference between the two, as you control the server downloads (desktop settings) to the client [11:12] hey action parsnip i downloaded frostwire and opened it with gdebi package installer and it says its installed but i dont see an icon or anything about it anywhere any suggestions? [11:12] arooni ive heard mixed reviews. You gotta watch what you buy. they may have better deals on identical hardware only with 'windows' [11:12] dr_willis: Yea, I'm trying to get a free partition to start doing a Linux From Scratch, should be fun [11:12] arooni from what I hear they are pretty good but...... [11:13] tyso1: if it runs then you can just add it to your menus [11:13] oh dr_willis has already said I felt the hardware isn't the best [11:13] Joshooa, tried it.. couldent figure out why bother. :) you could install it inside a virtualbox session/virtual machine. Mos tof the install is 'read/cut/paste/wait' repeate [11:13] dr_willis, but do they support it [11:13] how do i run it? [11:13] dr_willis, and setup dual monitor and stuff [11:13] You get better deals on Windows machines [11:13] tyso1: type frost and press tab in terminal [11:13] thats craapppy [11:13] k [11:13] arooni im not sure what they actually do by 'supporting' I can setup dual monitor on mynvidia systems in about 3 min. or less.. :) [11:13] !dualhead | arooni [11:13] arooni: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [11:13] dr_willis, ive been trying for 4 days [11:14] dr_willis, i cant get ubuntu to recognize the damn nvidia drivers and i'm sick of building my own pc [11:14] It makes no sense really MS must be subsidising them or something [11:14] craxie i think you get the best deal when you roll your own [11:14] dr_willis: Well I want to be able to really understand how linux works so I can make it and then once I get my OS going, port it over to a low end laptop, and try to make a minimal OS that can use a lot of it's system resources for games [11:14] koshari: amenn brother [11:14] arooni Depends a lot on the exact video card. I had to use the envyng stuff the other day on one machine. the video card was too new for the ncvidia drivers in the repos. [11:14] dr_willis: And I don't like having such a bloated system with all this stuff on it I don't use [11:14] dr_willis, i seriousliy have tried 6 grahpics cards and 2 mobos [11:15] arooni then i ran the nvidia-xconfig, and nvidia-settings tools to tweak the systems [11:15] dr_willis, i'm so done [11:15] arooni the key is to choose your hardware carefully [11:15] My local computer shop will install Ubuntu on any of the boxes. He just needs a bit longer to prepare it. I don't know why Dell can't do that [11:15] koshari, the hardware i did try to get working was on supported hardware list [11:15] koshari, so i quit [11:15] shop smart...shop s-mart [11:15] arooni i have had very few issues with any of my 5+ nvidia cards. So i cant help ya much on the info youve given. [11:15] arooni btw whats the prob with the video hardware? what gpu do you have? what drivers are you using? [11:16] koshari, radeon hd 3650, geforce 8600gts, 7200s, 9400gt, 9500gt [11:16] arooni: does envyng not help out? [11:16] i've tried them all [11:16] That was funny....I Just tried to install the driver through the terminal [11:16] and it worked [11:16] He won't install any other distros though he says they're too much trouble :) [11:16] wow! [11:16] I love LINUX [11:16] arooni i have a 7200 gpu working flawlessly here, [11:16] abhijeet: envyng s good but unofficial, if it works then great [11:17] ActionParsnip, no; niether does compiling drivers by unix utility, or envy, or restricted modules [11:17] i hate ubuntu right now :( [11:17] abhijeet: just remember what i said about kernel updates [11:17] I didn't install that....Linux installed it's default driver for [11:17] nVidia [11:17] arooni: tried the driver from www.nvidia.com [11:17] ActionParsnip, yeah i did [11:17] hi guys [11:17] I need help with WTK please! [11:17] arooni nvidia and Linux don't seem to marry very happily [11:18] arooni rather than whining if you let someone know the specific problems its possable we may be able to assist? [11:18] I'll remember that [11:18] it gives me jerky sound when emulating mobile phones [11:18] please help me, thank you :) [11:18] dr_willis: So I tried it, applied, and it deleted the partition but couldn't create any new ones [11:18] Its possible somthingyou did earlier, messed up stuff so the other 'ways' dont work. Without any speficic logs/info we cant help much. [11:18] abhijeet: if you dont remember you can boot to cli and change your xorg.conf to nv instead of nvidia with nano [11:18] koshari, i appreciate that; but i'm very sleepy and want to go to sleep :P ... i'm going to return all these computer parts to frys tomrorrow and order from dell [11:19] ActionParsnip, ive 'heard' that envyng is supposed to see kernel updates.. but im not sure how true/good that feature is, [11:19] I have to say though I have amatrox card on this machine and that worked fine [11:19] Maybe Matrox is more hit and miss? [11:19] Matrox - is rarely even heard of these days. :) [11:19] does anyone here develops Java MIDlets in Ubuntu?? [11:19] It's quite an old machine [11:20] how do i add a program to my menu so i can run it without the command line/ [11:20] How to make that I have a sound at an hour ? [11:20] I upgraded most of it but I don't really have any need for fancy graphics so it has the pre 2003 graphics card still in there :) [11:20] platyhelminthh, check the packag4e manager for 'alarm' utilities - and use one of them is one way. [11:20] tyso1 right click the gnome menu started and edit, then add a menu item [11:21] dr_willis: ive always had issues with kernel updates but im ok with changing stuff [11:21] thanks [11:21] ActionParsnip, - i just had to use envynt on my laptop the other day..waiting for a kernel update now - to see what happens [11:21] ok, seems no one can help me in the java MIDlets subject [11:21] thank you anyway :S [11:21] ActionParsnip kernel updates have worked wel for me in Deb distros - it seems to be Fedora that ties knots over kernel changes [11:21] Well so far any way# [11:22] N0_Named_Guy: try in #java maybe [11:22] ok thx [11:23] ActionParsnip you nick reminds me of an old punk group called action pact - but you've probably never heard of them :0 [11:23] ActionParsnip: any proxy search software [11:24] craxie: its a harry hill joke [11:24] Ah right [11:25] bhindi there are afew one starts with net somethin [11:25] Actually can't you do that with KDE's network tools [11:27] hello what is meant by CBR? hehe im applying a dsl form..i dont know what CBR is... [11:27] im quiting dialup :( [11:27] bhindi: proxy in what way? [11:28] nmap scans bhindi [11:28] Hi, I have a question about Ubuntu installation. [11:28] my ssh connection died while install a new kernel image with aptitude :/ [11:28] Melch: ask away [11:29] can anything be broken now? [11:29] I have 64bit Vista Ultimate, which I want to dualboot ubuntu and vista with. I used the Vista partitioning, and shrunk my primary drive to about 15GB. [11:29] bhindi to be honest there is agroup called local proxy on the freelist server that discusses all that in detail - they are an anti censorship group. [11:29] Christoph_vW: no as yuo havent rebooted yet, just rerun the command [11:30] Then I installed Ubuntu 8.04, and the install process went allright.

[12:07] amt2- is this just a random occurence [12:07] bastid_raZor, any you'd reconmmed [12:07] amt2- and what info does it show [12:07] tuxice: what do you mean by random occurence? yea, it just happens with no apparent pattern [12:07] Phloam you using the server/alternate install cd? [12:08] tuxice: im not really sure, sometimes it's jsut a black screen with sort of a prompt.... if i then hit ctrl [12:08] dns53 using alternate. Should I try live? [12:08] hello, I want to backup 200 GB into 40G tapes using cpio, how can I make parts or multiple tapes ? [12:08] milostrife; for gnome based transmission is the default. ktorrent is more like uTorrent [12:08] if i then hit ctrl+alt+del there i can see a lot of things like related to ALSA and Gnome [12:08] probably them shutting down or something... [12:08] Phloam do you have networking setup and the internet working? [12:09] amt2- does the computer shut down or does it just stay at the prompt [12:09] dns53 I didnt get network working. Is that important? [12:09] tuxice: it stays at the prompt. although it's not really a promt.. if i type a command or antyhing it doesnt owkr [12:09] i see [12:09] bastid_raZor, could tell how to install i've unzipped it from the archive? [12:10] Phloam well if you had networking setup it may be getting that of the internet, or it may allow you to download one during install [12:10] milostrife; install what? all those are in the repo's [12:11] Can someone please look at this icon theme and tell me what I need to install? I already installed the deltagreenfull icon set. What are the rest of those files? http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/DeltaGreen%2BDeltaFar?content=75563 [12:11] dns53 I think it's a hardware thing, and the installer cant find my network device. Any other way? [12:11] bastid_raZor, ty got it now XD [12:12] Phloam perhaps the live cd may be easier, but you could potentially download this file off the internet and copy it to that computer [12:12] dns53 is it possible to install it on a flash? [12:13] I'm trying to start Half-Life 2 with Wine. I can play hl2dm without any problems, but when I try to start hl2, nothing really happens [12:13] Anybody think they can help me get Half-Life 2 working?

[12:15] Timberwolf5578: why don't you take a look at "grep".. it will help you with all these questions [12:15] I just need to find firefox icon [12:15] Phloam well it seems like just the kernel package is messed up, you could potentially just copy this over to the computer running the install but it might be too much bother if you don't know what you are doing, your cd may have problems or your cd drive [12:16] dns53 I've checked both CD, md5 and memory. Still possible it's a hardware thing? The compy is pretty new. [12:16] Timberwolf5578; look in ~/.mozilla [12:17] hello everyone!

[12:30] Daft_Punk: Here's the solution: [12:30] macvr what you need to do is basically see what character the button press produces, then set that key press to be the function in the program, there are tools to get the key that was pressed [12:30] with root privileges, open the file /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh with a text editor and remove the following character # [12:30] Save the file and open /etc/fstab (always while using root privileges).

[18:53] stickfu: hard to say, but maybe around 400MB [18:53] ubuntutlups: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto for more info [18:53] ubuntutlups-> create a new partition, install debootstrap, and install fresh ubuntu unto new partition [18:53] ubuntutlups: I had the same problem once and slowed the burning rate... worked fine after that. [18:53] Nem[1]: try the program "less" on it [18:53] if i was going to do it, do I just apt-get remove all the packages the gui uses? [18:54] stickfu: yup, but be aware this can have unintended consequences unless you understand what those packages do [18:54] ubuntutlups-> that way you dont need to burn an iso to a cdrom [18:54] stickfu: i believe so, but you may want to backup first [18:54] amenado: that is not recommended... will not install grub for one thing [18:55] ubuntutlups-> you want the procedure? google for "installing ubuntu from a unix/linux system" [18:55] ejer who says its not recommende? by you? [18:55] Is it normal I can't go in my trash folder with root privileges or what ? :P [18:55] ejer debootstrap is not a complete install, its only preliminary [18:55] amenado: we are trying to help new users, that is not the right way to install ubuntu [18:55] does ubuntu have a remaster tool? [18:55] ejer, debootstrap is a recommende and approved ubuntu installer eh? [18:56] How can I activate the messages at system start? I would like to see more than an ubuntu logo and progress bar :-) [18:56] no it is not [18:56] I say the right way is the way that works [18:56] argento: yes [18:56] ejer let me find you the link.. [18:56] Anyone else experiencing slow sata transfer speeds in 8.04 ? [18:56] kitche, which one? [18:56] argento: finding you the link [18:57] ejer here https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/hppa/linux-upgrade.html [18:57] kitche, is it remastersys? [18:57] run it in single mode lastman (or failsafe) [18:57] ok, thanks [18:57] argento: well that is one of the tools [18:57] hi [18:57] hi, mahadeva_ [18:58] ubuntutlups-> fyi.. https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/hppa/linux-upgrade.html [18:58] kitche, tell me if you find any other... but i wanted to know if ubuntu had a remaster tool in the repos... [18:58] how are you [18:58] amenado: read the note on that page [18:58] If I wanted to reinstall ubuntu because im having issues on the OS would it be wise to backup all my packages? Or start from scratch (Write everything and reinstall) [18:59] lastman: you can try http://ubuntu-tweak.com/downloads [18:59] argento: http://fabrizioballiano.wordpress.com/2007/11/27/remastering-an-ubuntu-alternate-iso-with-ubuntu-customization-kit-the-complete-guide/ [18:59] <_Zeus_> javierg: just backup /home [19:00] argento: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization is the main link anyways I need to go pick my mom up from work [19:00] Aura: fglrx(0) could not detect X server version (query_status=-3), also many instances of AIGLX: 3D driver claims not support visual 0X'hex' [19:00] cool, thanks for the link ejer kitche [19:00] ejer: please use ubuntu.com links if you can since 3rd party sites can not be correct [19:00] Aura: of course this was just the statements that had WW next to them, no EE were found [19:00] <_Zeus_> kitche: what do you mean, 3rd party sites can not be correct [19:01] <_Zeus_> i think you mean can be incorrect [19:01] kitche: it is a dif process and I always check first [19:01] Nem[1]: it appears that your fglrx needs updating [19:01] _Zeus_: yep I know incorrect but Im in a bit of a hiring to get out of the door and go pick my mom up so I didn't really type [19:02] Aura: hmm would you suggest a reinstall? I can still access all of my files from my winxp partition...so I suppose I could insert some updated version of fglrx through there and install it in the console [19:02] javierg-> its a wise idea to have a separate /home partition from / ..that way you can easily move your specific user settings.. [19:02] _Zeus_: don't use kitche, she can be incorrect! =] [19:02] Nem[1]: you have networking working in console mode, right? [19:03] <_Zeus_> stickfu: what do you mean, don't use her? [19:03] _Zeus_: nm. was a joke. And a bad one at that [19:04] How do I set up ubuntu to be an ssh server? [19:04] hi everybody [19:04] Aura: well I suppose I should be able to, I don't have much experience with linux, I just started a week ago :-\ [19:04] RPG_Admin: sudo apt-get install ssh [19:04] amenado, I think ill do that this time. Thank you [19:04] how do i configure it? [19:04] Hi [19:05] Nem[1]: you're doing well :) [19:05] RPG_Admin: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto [19:05] RPG_Admin: what config do you need? it works out of box [19:05] thanks [19:05] i was just wondering about passwords and such? [19:05] RPG_Admin: it uses unix users and passwords [19:06] I have a noob's question: how can I see a list of all the fonts that are installed on my pc please? better, where can I find a list of all the fonts installed in by default in ubuntu (and/or any other linux distro)? === ascott_afk is now known as ascott [19:06] !fonts | AzizLight [19:06] AzizLight: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [19:06] Nem[1]: your system has the apt-get console tools for updating all packages [19:06] javierg-> good luck my friend [19:06] is there a way to make nautilus have two panes? left/right with different locations (for click+dragging stuff around) or is there a suggested alternative to nautilus which would handle this ? [19:07] kk ty [19:07] jedimindtrick: konqueror can do it, I don't think nautilus can [19:07] jedimindtrick: kommander is even better, tbh [19:07] amenado, lol, thanks. [19:07] Pici: thanks [19:07] jedimindtrick: i find the View>Side Pane works for me, or are you looking for more than that? [19:08] how do i change the port it listens on? [19:08] Aura-: he means midnight commander style [19:08] Aura-: need more than that, i need basically ... the equivalent of say a FTP program, where you have two locations side by side [19:08] ah hehe [19:08] CalJohn_: will installing either of those interfere with all the built in nautilus stuff? [19:08] AzizLight: install specimen font viewer to be able to browse them with previews [19:08] RPG_Admin: modify /etc/ssh/sshd_config [19:08] jedimindtrick: no [19:08] yes, nautilus doesn't do that, jedimindtrick [19:08] * Otacon22 is away: Sono Occupato.

Any idea why this could be? [19:10] Aura: I entered 'sudo apt-get install fglrx-driver' is that correct? I received W: not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock, E: unable to write to /var/cahce/apt, E: the package lists or status file could not be parsed [19:11] cool, thanks for your help guys im gonna do a bit of research before i pick one of these [19:11] yo yo yo [19:11] thanks! [19:12] Nem[1]: it seems you have some missing files that are making it hard on apt [19:12] So exactly how dangerous would it be to go to 2.6.24-21 in 8.04 ... or for that matter enable the "proposed" updates to run ? [19:12] Nem[1]: are all your directories mounted? === tommy_ is now known as Razesdark [19:12] chadeldridge: do you need that kernel? [19:12] Aura: hmm...perhaps a complete reinstall is what I need [19:13] chadeldridge: is your current kernel ok? [19:13] danbh_intrepid: there is talk that a fix for the sata speed issue is included in it [19:13] = [19:13] hi folks, i'm having this wierd behavior in nautilus, where the file string match only works for the first opened window (not the subsequent)! i used to have some solved SCIM related problems but the methods used there are not working..has anyone expirienced such thing ? [19:13] chadeldridge: usually, -proposed are pretty safe, but you can run into a few bugs [19:13] Nem[1]: perhaps; and that may be easiest [19:13] chadeldridge: well, you should test it out! [19:13] Aura: btw, thanks so much for your time with my issues, I learned a pretty good deal today :) [19:13] safer than backports ? [19:13] question, Supposedly on the Ubuntu Alternate CD's theres an option to install a command line only system, but I havent seen it, anyone know where it would be? [19:13] chadeldridge: no.

[20:16] i have wireless setup but when i try to set a static ip it stops working, anyone know why? [20:16] ActionParsnip, ejer thanks [20:16] krzysztof: gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [20:16] ZKAT8IT: you need to set the gateway and dns also [20:16] ActionParsnip: can't find it in lspci [20:16] however [20:16] ZKAT8IT: can we see your /etc/network/interfaces file please [20:16] when i do dmesg i get; pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0 [20:16] as opposed to details of the card [20:16] Section "Device" [20:16] Identifier "Configured Video Device" this is it ??

I have one of my own creation that doesn't seem to be working. [20:17] chamunks: ah.. well.. glad you fixed it [20:17] starbuckkkee: well, you kind of have to read through it and see what they have to say about it (Toms Hardware is a highly regraded and trusted industry site.). BTW, which computer tech told you this? working in a store somewhere or..? [20:17] oh im using ndiswrapper also [20:18] So I thought if I could just see or use a working one it may explain the problem I'm having. [20:18] Ello, is there an open office IRC channel? [20:18] ravalox:paste yours [20:18] Slart, yeah this experience was great ill be able to do this again now. [20:18] Altari: i'll ask again, what does lspci say it is?

[20:18] ZKAT8IT: thats fine, give us a pastebin of the file [20:18] thats all the file says [20:18] chamunks: hehe =) [20:18] virginiatiger: #openoffice.org [20:18] !pm > Rimen [20:18] Rimen, please see my private message [20:18] Pici, thanks [20:18] Gnea: yes, hes a computer shop owner... for more than 15 years now... from the very beginning [20:18] Slart, maybe ill image my windows partition so that if i fsk it up ill be able to recover... [20:18] Babbleback: try doing a apt-get update... I just tried and it installs ok [20:18] ZKAT8IT: you can set static IP in that file [20:18] This is my xorg: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/45974/ [20:19] ActionParsnip; i can't find it in lspci [20:19] Can anyone help me install Global-Menu Applet? [20:19] yea, havent used linux in like 4 years and i didnt have wireless then, i have no clue how to setup a static ip in that file [20:19] chamunks: good idea.. if you've got the hard drive space for it [20:19] ZKAT8IT: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ [20:19] Hackintosh411: what is that program [20:19] ZKAT8IT: you'll need gksu gedit /etc/network/interfaces [20:20] Altari: is it internal? [20:20] DasEi: thx, i will do that... so u say asrock has better performance and weaker onboard grafik? that would be good, which board? [20:20] Global-Menu Applet is a applet for ubuntu panels.

GRUB is pointing it to the wrong direction. Points to (hd2,4) instead of (hd0,4). Managed to boot it by directing it to the correct one in the GRUB menu, but it's not permanent. Anyone with some pointers for a newbie? [20:25] Babbleback: try apt-get clean then try it again [20:25] kmpnybgn: it's in /boot/grub [20:25] AC97 hardware... No sound on my ubuntu [20:25] kmpnybgn: /boot/grub/menu.lst [20:26] thanks [20:26] kmpnybgn: edit the file.. then run "sudo update-grub" in a terminal to make your settings take effect [20:27] kmpnybgn: "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" to edit it [20:27] Slart: thats the bad way to edit files as root, theres a sudoedit for a reason:P [20:28] My nvidia driver seems to have gone awol, I'm stuck using VESA in 800x600 http://pastebin.com/m1df0dbb ANy help or pointers is appreciated. [20:28] how do i change my background? [20:28] clever: I've never really understood why the sudoedit command existed.. why is it bad? [20:28] Slart: running the editor as root causes it to use roots config(if your lucky) or screw up who owns your own config [20:28] Guest47772: are you retarded? [20:28] i can try that : Device "i810.ko" ?? [20:28] no, i just am new to linux [20:28] dforsyth: not really a good way to help people [20:28] Slart: using sudoedit will copy the file to one you own, then run the editor as yourself, then copy it back when done [20:28] Yashy: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx [20:28] so no thoughts on this LD_LIBRARY_PATH issue? [20:28] clever: why would it screw up? [20:28] Guest47772: you cant be serious [20:28] lucax: Did you see my pastebin? [20:29] no i cant see the option [20:29] dforsyth: stop.

[20:29] its not there [20:30] Guest47772: what os are you using [20:30] os x [20:30] man wtf. [20:30] Yashy: yes... if you ever had the drivers running correctly just reinstall them... or enter in failsafe mode and do the x fix [20:30] !language | dforsyth [20:30] dforsyth: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [20:30] TiredWolf: gksudo just does a few special things so X11(gui) stuff works right [20:30] Slart, right, so you use gksudo [20:30] Guest47772: this is an Ubuntu support channel, please try #OSX [20:30] my bad [20:30] ohhh okay [20:30] dforsyth: that's the last time. [20:30] TiredWolf: if your lucky, it will use /root/ as $HOME and youll just wind up with a totaly different set of configs(whole editor back to defaults) [20:30] i said 'my bad' [20:31] Hello. [20:31] Debcreator is telling me that it is unable to detect the top source directory in my Megatunix archive, I am using Ubuntu 8.04, help? [20:31] TiredWolf: when you use sudoedit it will run $EDITOR on the file as your own user [20:31] intel AC97 hardware... No sound on my ubuntu [20:32] #nick newbie [20:32] clever, well, with sudoedit don't you end up with an entirely different editor altogether, anyway? also, doesn't that imply you should never use *anything* graphical with root privileges? (if so, why does gksudo exist?) [20:32] TiredWolf: sudoedit will use whatever editor you set in EDITOR [20:32] So, I'm trying to edit menu.lst, but it says I don't have write permission. Tried sudo edit boot/menu.lst, but that didn't work. I don't even know if it should, though. I could open it, and I saw where the errors where, but I can't change it. Any pointers? [20:32] TiredWolf: export EDITOR=gedit [20:32] Flips a coin: HEADS [20:32] TiredWolf: i have one of those lines in my .bashrc so the default editor for everything is vim which i prefer [20:33] Does anyone know how to create virtual hard drives in ubuntu? [20:33] clever, however if i remember correctly EDITOR is not supposed to be an X11 program (i vaguely remember there's another variable, or at least a debconf setting, for that) [20:33] spuddys: yes.

No sound on my ubuntu [20:33] Gnea - I need to resize my wubi drive to an extra 50GB [20:33] or create another 50GB Partition [20:33] TiredWolf: yes theres also a VISEDITOR for the graphic ones, not shure what its called exactly [20:33] kmpnybgn: what command are you using to edit it? [20:33] OK, Sorry: How do you reset pidgin setting [20:33] sudo, and just edit. should it be gedit? [20:33] TiredWolf: VISUAL and EDITOR [20:34] [configuration] [20:34] spuddys: it's explained here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide [20:34] what would make vlc NOT play a *.mov movie file correctly? do I need to add any plugin to play a .mov file? [20:34] kmpnybgn: well, if you are using sudo, you SHOULD have permissions... [20:34] TiredWolf: im guessing the point of having 2, is so it can fall back to a 'text mode' one when the 1st fails, but it probly doesnt care if either one uses graphics [20:34] intel AC97 hardware...

[20:37] badfish: thats not a good idea, if you ever have to do some fixing for some reason, you will need that time to enter in failsafe... so its better if you set 3 secs or so...

[20:39] badfish: i understand what you are tryin to do... but i say again.. its not a good idea... set 1 sec [20:39] jordan[]: have you tried network-manager? [20:39] thats impossible [20:39] danbh_intrepid: wait i think it says local address unknown [20:39] hi, is there a program for ubuntu that opens uif files? [20:39] comput3r: what's an uif file? [20:39] bonez46- open up a terminal and type> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [20:39] spuddys, inside that it says to download the 'wubi-ass-virtual-disk' package [20:39] come on JerryLeeCooper http://www.hotubuntunews.com/blog_13.shtml [20:39] JerryLeeCooper: if you want to chat about it, you can join #ubuntu-offtopic obviously we all run linux here, so it seems possible [20:40] What is shell? "Go to a shell and type" [20:40] ok im now trying to set up my treo650 to "tether" to my linux laptop so i can use it when im camping. hehehe soo can someone tell me this.... [20:40] bonez46- see where that gets you. i know that linux doesn't go well with apple formats, but then again i never played any .mov in linux. [20:40] in the how to it says "Obtain the user name, password and dial number from your wireless provider." [20:40] ValentineX- a terminal. [20:40] ValentineX: applications>accessories>terminal [20:40] JerryLeeCooper: you need to do some homework.http://www.hotubuntunews.com/blog_13.shtml [20:41] im not following [20:41] JerryLeeCooper: google it! [20:41] Rimen: yes. just mv ~/.purple/ ~/.purple-back/ and try to launch pidgin again [20:42] you guys are crazy [20:42] jerryleecooper is a troll obviously http://rixstep.com/1/1/20070724,00.shtml [20:42] google that handle [20:42] obvious troll [20:42] <|ZKAT8IT|> hmm... my other nick hasnt timed out yet :( [20:42] dforsyth: thanx very much [20:42] |ZKAT8IT|: ghost it [20:42] hi, is there a program for ubuntu that opens uif files? [20:42] Universal Image Format (UIF) is a compression image file format for backing up CD/DVDs. MagicISO has a freeware program called MagicDisk that can open UIF files on Windows computers. === |ZKAT8IT| is now known as ZKAT8IT [20:42] JerryLeeCoooper: depending on what you want to use your computer for, and how willing you are to learn something new on the computer, a Linux distribution may be rather ideal for you [20:43] comput3r: http://onubuntu.blogspot.com/2007/11/dealing-with-uif-files.html magiciso works in wine apparently [20:43] such as for example Ubuntu [20:43] SebNaitsabes: er, he left [20:43] ok wtf i finally get ubuntu workin good n now this i cant copy files to my psp it keeps sayin the file on my desktop is read only and it aint wtf anyone?? [20:43] sweet, thanks [20:43] Gnea: oh I see no wonder I coudn't private message him then, oh well [20:43] SebNaitsabes, it was a joke anyway [20:43] ok in about 10mins (burning iso right now) i'll be installing hardy heron and i need to know...once i install, do i enable the restricted drivers that ubuntu shows for my nvidia card or do i do sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx (and if i do sudo apt-get, do i want the legacy or new drivers or what?) chipset is an nvidia nforce2, graphics is an nvidia geforce 4MX integrated shared video [20:43] that is pretty damn fuuny [20:43]  bonez46:shure mov is not dmaged ?other players? vlc brings all codecs own, usually [20:43] Gnea, how can I do that is the files/folders don't exist [20:43] !wtf | ali_ [20:43] ali_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [20:43] Krumar: oh it was a joke [20:43] Any good resources to read up on initiating RAID on Ubuntu Server? I've got a friend running a hosting service that just switched to Ubuntu Server from Win. [20:43] http://rixstep.com/1/1/20070724,00.shtml [20:43] Gnea [20:43] Krumar: well I was vagugely following the convo [20:44] Rimen: what about ~/.pidgin/ ? [20:44] DuKeS: you should use the hardware drivers app in system>admin>hardware drivers [20:44] i mean..somewhere windows has to be driving something on the machine...why else would it be included on every computer sold heheheheh [20:44] this is my interfaces file when i try to set up a static IP, but it doesnt work... http://pastebin.com/m29cb9fa6 [20:44] DasEi: well, I think vlc is fine.. how can I check it? [20:44] I think I've managed to get it to work. A reboot will show that. Thanks for the help ! :) [20:44] ok wtf i finally get ubuntu workin good n now this i cant copy files to my psp it keeps sayin the file on my desktop is read only and it aint anyone? [20:44] pidgin instead of purple [20:44] right [20:44] Gnea you around? [20:44] damn its still gt swear in it [20:44] ali_: you just said that [20:44] does anyone know why my X server crashes on one account when I am using another ? [20:44] ejer: but for some reason when i tried that in ubuntu 7.10 it gave me some problems with video playback...it played choppy [20:44] !ask | spuddys [20:44] Hey guys, I'm pretty new to this stuff and I had a few questions. [20:44] spuddys: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [20:44]  bonez46:shure mov-file isn't corrupt ? [20:45] (I have two accounts open at the same time) [20:45] Does Ubuntu work on NTFS? [20:45] DuKeS: it installs the same driver [20:45] ok why is it stil sayin write protected?? [20:45] it isnt [20:45] DasEi: well, I should try it on a windows box and see if it plays there.. [20:45] Jacobbs: no, but it works with NTFS. [20:45] listen to me ubuntu!! [20:45] does anyone use there treo650 or centro as a dun server for there linux laptop? [20:45] I have done that create virtual disk [20:45] Gnea, it doesn't work [20:45] but how do i mount it? [20:45] My computer is not reading or even mounting my SD flash memory card, shouldn't it be able to? [20:45]  bonez46:or try with mplayer [20:45] bad os listen now lol [20:45] Okay, so I'd have to install it on it's own partition? [20:45] has ompaul been in tonight [20:45] Jacobbs: if you mean will it read and write to it. .yes.. can you install it on a ntfs partition .. no [20:45] ejer: how do i solve the choppy video problem if it happens again though? [20:45] Alrighty [20:45] ali_: Proof? [20:46] DuKeS: it could be caused by many things.. does it happen with every video on every player? [20:46] spuddys: the website given to you earlier says how. [20:46] hi, i'm using ubuntu hardy(2.6.24-19-generic), while trying to create an ubuntu package in a pbuilder chail everything seems fine, dh_make finishes clean, "pbuilder create *.dsc" does fine, but "sudo pbuilder build *.dsc" finishes with "Tcl cannot be found on this system.", seems like "pbuilder create" doesn't care about the tcl-dependency [20:46] J-n: the file says not write proteced it usually works? [20:46] No [20:46] ejer: yep...i love VLC especifically but it also happens on mplayer and totem [20:46] it dosent [20:46] how can i load rtc-cmos module to enable /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm at hardy? when i write modprobe rtc-cmos it says FATAL: Module rtc_cmos not found [20:46] can anyone help me with my wireless? i enable roaming mode and it works, but if i try to set a static IP it stops working, this is my interfaces file.. http://pastebin.com/m29cb9fa6 [20:46] Well if it does it dosent work [20:46] any idea about what i can do to get this build done would be really apreciated [20:46] zubwolf_: try #ubuntu-motu [20:46] Jacobbs: to make it easier.. you really need 3 partitions.. one called "/" or root (8-12 gigs).. one called /swap 1 gig max.. and /home (the rest of the drive for all your data) [20:46] ali_: i'm sorry lol, i meant that to go into a diffrent window [20:46] okay [20:47] My computer is not reading or even mounting my SD flash memory card, shouldn't it be able to? [20:47] ejer: and it seems to happen most when i go fullscreen...when in windowed mode the choppiness doesn't seem as bad [20:47] spuddys: you'll need to try it again and pastebin the error. [20:47] danbh_intrepid, oh, i don't know ubuntu-moto, i will now read about it, thx [20:47] I come from Windows [20:47] doesnt give an error [20:47] So that doesn't really make a ton of sense to me >.> [20:47] Hello, I've done something stupid. I converted my linux drive to a dynamic disk while I was in Windows. I thought I was acting on a different drive. Now GRUB is giving me error 17 and won't go to the boot menu. Is there any way to recover from this? Google search have proven unsuccessful so far [20:47] J-n: lol nm [20:47] <_Zeus_> holyguyver_: go to a terminal and type ls /dev/sd* [20:47] <_Zeus_> pastebin the output [20:47] spuddys: then how do you know that it didn't mount? [20:47] zubwolf_: motu not moto [20:47] because its not showing in computer [20:47] Scunizi, is it cool if I PM you? [20:47] !grub>StephenF [20:47] <_Zeus_> spuddys: paste the output of /dev/sd* [20:48] Well [20:48] danbh_intrepid, my fault, thx:) [20:48] <_Zeus_> * the output of /dev/sd* [20:48] spuddys: that doesn't count, you need to check the output of the df -Th command [20:48] DuKeS: it is an old card, but still should work ok... try it again the way I said and we can go from there [20:48] when i hover over a mp3 file or something other in the filebrowser nothing happens ... i searched and found that i should install mpg321 but this didn't help ... what is needed for this? [20:48] Jacobbs: well.. / (root) contains all the system files and other things.. /swap is also part of windows but not it's own partition.. a separate /home with your data is a protection so you can do a fresh reinstall when needed and not loose anything. [20:48] http://pastebin.com/m19f5551d [20:48] There you go [20:48] BTW, I am able to access the drive when using a live CD, so the files are all there. I just need to fix the boot section [20:48] Ahh okay [20:48] ejer: alright...i'll install right now...hopefully ur still here once i'm back :P thanx for the help [20:48] _Zeus_, this is what it said /dev/sda /dev/sda2 /dev/sda4 /dev/sda6 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sde /dev/sda1 /dev/sda3 /dev/sda5 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/sdf [20:48] Now for swap [20:49] DasEi: I didnt get anything, possibly because I am on Mibbit [20:49] spuddys: okay, you formatted it. so? [20:49] I could for-seeably make that the Windows pagefile partition too right? [20:49] Any idea how I can access a Virtual Machine from my Host machine, ssh-wise? [20:49] StephenF: did you also reset that change from windows ? you might also check fstab fur wrong uuids... [20:49] No i just created it [20:49] How i mount it then [20:49] im new to linux learning. [20:49] gouki: install ssh on both of them [20:49] DasEi: ok. there are two versions.. one for quicktime .mov and other for windows medial player .wmv the .wmv version plays...but I want to play it on my linux box [20:49] gouki: and do this at a terminal [20:49] StephenF: No i didnt attempt to change the drive back to a basic drive. Should I try that? [20:50] ^ DasEi [20:50] jim_p, doesn't work.they're are on different networks. virtualbox uses 10.0.2.x [20:50] Gnea - How would i mount it then? [20:50] spuddys: here, i'll give you the URL again... http://sudan.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=737848 [20:50] go fu prick [20:50] Thanks [20:50] oh :( [20:50] why would i consistantly get a checksum error while trying to install flashplugin-nonfree [20:50] _Zeus_, it said /dev/sda /dev/sda2 /dev/sda4 /dev/sda6 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sde [20:50] /dev/sda1 /dev/sda3 /dev/sda5 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/sdf [20:50] Jacobbs: no.. it needs it's own.. you can't use the wind pagefile.. /swap isn't really accessed very much like pagefile is but it's necessary [20:50] Babbleback: what version of Ubuntu? [20:51] Gnea, 7.04 [20:51] Babbleback: known issue, did you run sudo apt-get update? [20:51] Scunizi, I'm saying that I could use the partition for the same purpose right? [20:51] Gnea, yes [20:51] any1 know if there are any video players for linux which can play video in the terminal, without X? [20:51] Because I don't wanto to be running both Ubuntu and XP at the same time [20:51] Babbleback: try upgrading to 8.04 then [20:51] gouki: you can use bridged networking,, but I think you should be able to ssh into NAT as well [20:51] Wouldn't that work? [20:51] Gnea - I dont know how to mount it i dont know the location of it [20:51] Gnea, failes [20:51]  bonez46: for usual vlc plays both on both systems out the box, check your media-file... [20:51] Gnea, failes and i have a broken system [20:51] Jacobbs: they do pretty much the same thing.. but you wouldn't be able to tell windows to use the same partition because of the formatting. [20:52] Babbleback: fails how? [20:52] I am wondering if anyone here has experience with getting Aircards to work with 8.04? [20:52] !grub [20:52] 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 [20:52] Right, I just thought of that. [20:52] Babbleback: enable proposed updates in software sources perhaps [20:52] StephenF: did you also reset that change from windows ? you might also check fstab fur wrong uuids... [20:52] StephenF: got !grub ? [20:52] I am wondering if anyone here has experience with getting Aircards to work with 8.04? I have a Verizon USB Aircard and use WV dial; it initiates the connection and everything fine but it is very very slow. [20:52] My computer is not reading or even mounting my SD flash memory card, shouldn't it be able to? [20:52] spuddys: that URL tells you how to mount it. and you ran the command to format it, therefore you know the location. [20:52] DasEi: No i did not try to change the disk back to basic, should I do that? [20:52] !grub [20:52] 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 [20:53] Can someone tell me why when I try to do sudo mysqladmin -u root password "mynewpassword" it doesn't let me? [20:53] xxploit: you could try mplayer -vo cac file - more funny than usable tho [20:53] xxploit: you could try mplayer -vo caca file - more funny than usable tho [20:53] it just tells me [20:53] No found directory [20:53] Gnea, i make it 7.10 then the 8.04 upgrade fails.. don't remember if there was an error message or it just hangs, but i've tried to upgrade a 7.04 many times... i've actually only been able to download 8.04 without getting checksum errors also [20:53] faemir: what does it say [20:53] Gnea, once that is [20:53] Babbleback: it was probably the localegens error - easily solved [20:54] Gnea, ok [20:54] ejer: http://rafb.net/p/8hNjuU28.html [20:54] I am wondering if anyone here has experience with getting Aircards to work with 8.04? I have a Verizon USB Aircard and use WV dial; it initiates the connection and everything fine but it is very very slow. [20:54] Gnea, is that with respect to my flash problem or my upgrading to 8.04 problem [20:54] StephenF: yes, partitons are often marked with unique identifiers (uuids) which change if you resize/alter partis, so the pointers are wrong then [20:54] spuddys: when you type what? [20:54] faemir: if you have a mysql root password you need to do mysqladmin -u root -p password 'newpass' [20:54] Babbleback: both. [20:55] sudo mount -o loop /ubuntu/disks/extra.disk /media/extra [20:55] ejer: well this is a new install, is there one by default? [20:55] DasEi: Ok i will try to repair that using Grub. Thank you [20:55] faemir: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server [20:55] ejer: done, now which command? [20:56] Fixed [20:56] I put wrong directory in [20:56] StephenF: first undo change in windows, then try reinatlling grub, still probs, come back here [20:56] thanks gena [20:56] spuddys: yup [20:56] spuddys: cheers [20:56] faemir: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MysqlPasswordReset [20:56] hi, quick question. how do I restart the xserver in ubuntu. ctrl+alt+bkspace won't work? [20:56] Gnea - Sorry for my attitude sometimes linux can be a pain :D but thanks you made me very happy [20:56] ohgodnotanother1: you could try comamnd killx [20:57] spuddys: not a problem, you stuck with it and made it work anyway - that's what we like around here. :) [20:57] ohgodnotanother1: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart is the civilized way [20:57] :D [20:57] ejer: thanks, i'll take a look [20:57] Gnea just a quick one, To install Wine on the 50GB is it just go into the drive extra and install it there in Apt-get wine? [20:58] spuddys: honestly, i've never used the extra disk - from what i can tell, wubi just automates its use, but again, i'm not sure about it. you should be able to just install wine from the add/remove menu and it'll be fine [20:59] No i mean install it onto the other drive [20:59] like to cd hop to another drive how would i get to it [20:59] like CD extra or what? [20:59] i'm lost now :) [20:59] Hi! [20:59] Gnea, so what is the localegens error [20:59] I want to install Wine onto the extra drive [20:59] is there like a choose what drive you want to install it on? [20:59] or does it auto goto Drive Filesystem? [21:00] How can i make an utility process all mp3 files keeping the same filenames as output but on different folders? [21:00] I have deleted the icon on network manager on the app panel, and am no longer available to choose my connection, any help would ne nice [21:00] hello everyone i burn the image CD and once i boot it on my system it gives me an error an says. Error on Boot CD. and does not install.. what it would be ? [21:00] gena you get what i mean [21:00] Minty95: its nm-applet [21:00] like how do i install somthing onto another drive [21:01] spuddys: wine needs a .wine subdir in your home-dir. The linux way would be to take that whole (hidden) dir .wine, shift it to the location you want and symlink it back into your /home [21:01] anyone help me on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MysqlPasswordReset ? it fails on the second thing you have to do [21:01] I dont understand [21:01] ubuntutlups: did you run the "Check CD for defects" ? [21:01] when i plug my camera in, fspot janks it immediately. how do i just mount it? [21:01] Babbleback: just ctrl-c everytime it's trying to generate the locale en_AU.UTF-8... and let the whole thing finish [21:01] yes [21:01] and gives me the same error [21:01] ERROR: on BOOT. [21:01] i want to use it to store some data [21:01] Babbleback: when you reboot, login and: sudo dpkg --configure -a [21:01] Babbleback: that's it :) [21:02] spuddys: i thought that. read about symbolic links (man ln would be a good start) [21:02] danbh_intrepid, I cant find it to download :( [21:02] i think the image is corrupt [21:02] ubuntutlups: then you probably have either a bad burn, or a bad download. Did you verify the checksum of your download? [21:02] hi, is there a problem sending mails using thunderbird and ubuntu 8.04 though the smtp server of gmail? I cannot send emails, I got a error message [21:02] stefg - I dont want that [21:02] checksum ? [21:02] how do i do that ? [21:02] how do i mount a usb device? [21:02] ubuntutlups: did you download the image from the ubuntu website? [21:03] any good bash scripter here? [21:03] spuddys: what? wine? [21:03] yes.. [21:03] spuddys: it's not like windows with drive letters - partitions are mounted onto different directories, so if you do a df -Th, it'll tell you where the space is being allocated [21:03] from the ubuntu oficial site [21:03] ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso [21:03] Ok, [21:03] So i just goto the directory that the vdisk is in? [21:04] spuddys: you can always move files around and remount with fstab if need be, but i'm not sure how well that jives with wubi [21:04] ubuntutlups: here you go: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [21:04] how can I FIND nm-applet ?? [21:04] spuddys: first install wine and run winecfg. this will set up wine initially and create thet hidden dir ~/.wine in your home-dir [21:04] thanks stephenF ill read the comment you ok. [21:04] can i PM u ? [21:04] after that ? [21:04] stefg i want it in my 50GB drive [21:04] not in my filesystem [21:04] spuddys: wherever it's mounted to, yes [21:05] hi, i have a problem with my extern drive, i have 3 diffrent maps, im /media of the same drive, how do i remove them? [21:05] spuddys: we'll get there [21:05] so just drag it [21:05] in' [21:05] so just install it onto filesystem now [21:05] and then move it to extra? [21:05] spuddys: you could tell the extra filesystem to be your /home partition [21:05] but that would not mess with my booting? [21:06] linux doesn't care where /home is, as long as it exists :) [21:06] ok [21:06] Can you give me the command :D [21:06] spuddys: why take the hard way? just let winecfg set up the dir. take it then, put it where you want it [21:06] it's more than 1 command - it's a procedure ;) [21:06] hi, i have a problem with my extern drive, i have 3 diffrent maps, im /media of the same drive, how do i remove them? [21:06] ok [21:06] well Stefg can you PM or say the easy way please :D [21:06] hey guys im on the live cd for hardy heron. I wanted to dual boot xp + ubuntu but when it starts up the partitioner i'm only given two options...guided entire disk or manual. I thought that there was a third option where it let you resize the HDD and decide how much you want for each OS. BTW i already for XP installed, just wanted to resize it 40/60 XP/Linux [21:07] spuddys: I#M afraid that is already the easy way :-) [21:07] well [21:07] spuddys: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/ you'll obviously have to change some things there that are tailored to your system [21:07] so [21:07] mkdir /mnt the mnt is the extra [21:07] so i type [21:07] mkdir /extra/newhome [21:07] yes? [21:07] stephenF it gives me this [21:07] md5sum: ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso: No such file or directory [21:08] when i plug my camera in, f-spot takes it over and downloads images from it. but i don't see it mounted anywhere. how do i find where it is mounted? how do i use the camera as a storage device? [21:08] lobsang@lobsang-desktop:~$ md5sum ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso [21:08] hi, i have a problem with my extern drive, i have 3 diffrent maps, im /media of the same drive, how do i remove them? [21:08] ozzloy: most usb cameras don't mount, but use f-spot to talk to them through usblib - it just isn't possible to mount them [21:09] Can someone tell me how to make the entire bar on the bottom of my desktop transparent? When I choose transparent, only part of it becomes transparent. [21:09] mount: /media/extra is not a block device [21:09] ubuntutlups: you must go to the directory where you downloaded your iso to [21:09] Gnea: so is there a way i can use the camera as a storage device?

[21:09] Gnea: where is this choice? [21:09] Timberwolf5578: depents on what shortcuts, gadgets, etc. you've put on int [21:10] krstarica [21:10] Hi!

Just go into a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install gparted or find it in Synaptic. [21:13] I don't even know what to google for in order to get that done.

[21:22] ozzloy: try this for good measure then - make sure you've got a clean desktop with no other applications running (so you can see the icons on the desktop) - then plug the camera in - when f-spot takes it over, kill f-spot and see if there's a new icon on the desktop (you may have to clean it) and see if that connects to the camera [21:22] !compiz | Timberwolf5578 [21:22] Timberwolf5578: 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 [21:22] spuddys: ok.. now i know. it won't get aoutomounted, and ntfs is a very unclever choice for a filesystem in linux [21:22] !virtualbox | dido [21:22] ubuntutlups: now you look on the ubuntu-website and compare the checksum to that of your file [21:22] dido: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer.

The live session mounted your ntfs partition automatically. That's why the wizard doesn't give you the resize option. Type: sudo umount /dev/sda1 [21:24] also how do I load the system volume [21:24] I cant format my whole pc [21:24] spuddys: no, just the 50 G drive (i understand that it is empty) [21:24] DuKeS: Make sure the wizard and gparted are closed first.

[21:37] spuddys: if i where you i'd get a good windows backup program (i like TrueImage), do a complete image of the windows install (which will possibly fit into 80G b/c of compression), then repartition the drive with 50-60 G space unused at the end and then do a proper ubuntu-install with that space [21:37] Mike231: ext3 [21:37] DasEi: yup I know [21:38] DuKeS: Yes, the partitioner SHOULD automatically take care of all that. You will need to install restricted codecs to play all your stuff though. [21:38] I am trying to make a cross-platform software for Windows and Linux.

[21:38] hey [21:39] bobertdos: yeah i know about the codecs...gstreamer codecs should take care of that right? [21:39] yes i am confused. [21:39] ubuntutlups, the alternate link i sent you is still normal ubuntu [21:39] No. _LINUX_ doesn't work [21:39] ok what you mean normal ? [21:39] ubuntutlups, you just wont be able to run it from the cd [21:39] qah: what you mean linux dont work? [21:39] when I put #else around the non windows code it works. [21:39] DuKeS: Most formats, yes, although you might need w32codecs for Microsoft formats (from the medibuntu repo). [21:39] hello [21:39] ubuntutlups, do you understand now?

[21:41] kevin0 thanks.. have a nice afternoon [21:41] DuKeS: Don't worry, if something doesn't go as perfectly as it should, we're always around to help :) [21:42] jarco: sure [21:42] jarco: why not in the openoffice chat? [21:42] bobertdos: ok i guess i can find further info on those if i get into problems playing some of my stuff. If it's not too much to ask i do want some help setting up my video card [21:42] thanks stefg [21:42] whats the channel? [21:42] it could be an ubuntu issue :) [21:42] so lets see :P [21:42] ubuntutlups: you can install from the desktop CD or from the alternate CD, but with the Desktop CD you can have a running ubuntu, even without installation - thats called "live CD" [21:42] DasEi: ok. so that point is clear. but still the graphic driver doesn't work :( [21:42] DuKeS: What do you have? [21:42] bobertdos: for some reason everytime i try ubuntu (i tried 7.04 and 7.10 before) and for some reason my video playback is choppy...which is the reason i always end up uninstalling it :( [21:43] jarco: #openoffice.org [21:43] I have a strange DNS problem with Ubuntu; If I ping blahblah.foo.local, it never does a DNS request (verified with tcpdump) and fails name resolution. foo.local is a local domain here at work [21:43] Under Fedora, it works fine; DHCP boot on both machines [21:43] unbekannt: ipv6 problems?

[21:46] !ati [21:46] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [21:46] anyone know why users-admin buttons are grayed out (even as root) on a server install? I have policykit installed [21:46] arooni, ^^ [21:47] unbekannt: even if doesn't solve that problem it's generally a good idea [21:47] arooni-mobile: i'd end up looking them up on a website that i found through a google search to see if they are compatable with a 2 monitor setup. [21:47] good deal [21:47] DuKeS: No offense, but uh, your video issues most likely have a lot more to do with your hardware than it does with Ubuntu. I would completely ignore the prompts to install t he restricted drivers. Also, you might want to set gstreamer-properties to use a simpler rendering device, if possible. [21:47] Jowi: it might be eaiser to get an answer for that over at #ubuntu-server [21:47] how do u see wat version of an app we have?

[21:49] can any one help [21:49] i'm new [21:50] so am I [21:50] !ask [21:50] Sometimes I am too lazy to do the command line business, would it be bad to do "sudo nautilus" and hope that I can do root functions for awhile in a GUI? Am I missing something? [21:50] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [21:50] bobertdos: yeah i always thought it was something to do with my video card. Hopefully i'll be upgrading that along with the ram soon. Again, thanx for all your help. One of the reasons i'm trying to make the switch from windows is the great community ubuntu has going for it :) === maco_ is now known as maco [21:50] just wanna kno new ppl [21:50] this will take some time [21:50] Sunborn: well the issue is that you should never really have to do that. What are you doing that requires you to do that? [21:50] abdoo: /join #ubuntu-offtopic for socializing [21:50] Sunborn: make that gksudo nautilus (and don't tell anyone :-) ) [21:51] Im looking to buy warhammer and was just wondering if anyone is playing it on ubuntu and if there are any issues with it [21:51] how can i switch me room [21:51] abdoo: /join #ubuntu-offtopic [21:51] abdoo /j #channel [21:51] ./join # [21:51] hi all [21:51] laff [21:51] Sylphid|work: is that a windows game?

[21:52] DuKeS: If you ever want to peek at gstreamer-properties, type gksudo gstreamer-properties from the terminal. Thank you for the compliment, we do try!! :) [21:52] !appdb | Sylphid|work [21:52] Sylphid|work: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [21:52] hey, is possible send one html message using libgmail ?

[21:52] A1: they are separate files [21:52] Sunborn: that's still vague, try "exactly" [21:53] So I have a file that I want to swap into the place of one owned by root [21:53] bobertdos: there is no reason to run gstreamer-properties with sudo/gksu [21:53] Sunborn: exact path to this file? [21:53] crdlb: Hmm, perhaps not, I guess I just always assumed it needed root privileges, but I believe you. [21:54] bobertdos: it stores your selection in gconf [21:54] hi all, I tried out Intrepid Ibex live cd on my new laptop yesterday and had quite a lot of issues. e.g. couldn't run apt-get since it complained on some corrupt files. would anyone recommend installing Intrepid Ibex or should I stick with Hardy Heron? [21:54] /usr/share/jbiwatcher.jar and the one I want in its place is on my [21:54] desktop [21:54] jonasb: wait until october when intrepid is released [21:54] crdlb: Oh, is that where those settings go? Oh well then I guess you definitely don't want to run that with root. [21:54] jonasb: /j #ubuntu+1 and read the topic :-) [21:55] can i get a quick explanation about something? i have compiz installed, and when i right click the compiz fusion icon i can choose Window Decorator (and i have GTK selected) and window manager and i have Compiz selected ... now what is the difference between the two and which one do i have to look into for changing my deskto theme ? [21:55] ubuntu hardy w/ ff3: my history is not being stored. The config appears to be correct. Anybody have a guess what is going on? [21:55] GTK right ? [21:55] DuKeS: Scratch what I said about gksudo with gstreamer-properties, :p [21:55] Sunborn: so this is some file you put in there yourself to begin with? [21:55] whyameye: ever run ff as root? [21:55] jrib: I mean I can do it with command lines, I am no noob, I just wanted it to be easier [21:55] bobertdos: lol why? i had already made a note of it :P [21:56] jrib: negative it was got down with synaptic [21:56] danbh_intrepid: not intensionally but it might have happened... [21:56] sunborn - nothing wrong with using sudo nautilus every so often [21:56] Sunborn: what package? and why do you want to replace it? [21:56] I configured a VPN server into my Ubuntu Server that it is correctly working. However when clients establish the VPN connection, after some seconds (40-50) it disconnects without any explanation. Can anyone help me on this please? [21:56] DuKeS: Nah, crdlb just made a very important point about that program, and believe me, you don't want to run that as root. My mistake.......:p [21:56] it is a newer version [21:56] thanx ppl i got there :)) [21:56] !sudo | A1, Sunborn [21:56] A1, Sunborn: 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) [21:56] the repos are about a year old === macd_ is now known as macd [21:57] how do you choose the GTK theme in gnome? is it the same as going to System > Preferences > Appearance ? [21:57] Xcerca: yeah [21:57] whyameye: can you open a terminal? [21:57] willan ubuntu install from within windows still write grub into the mbr? [21:57] jrib, stefg: thanks.. I'll wait until the proper release... I guess I just expected Alpha 6 to be fairly stable [21:57] danbh_intrepid: yep. it's opened. [21:57] Sunborn: I can't find jbiwatcher anywhere. What package is it in? [21:57] jonasb: "alpha", it's not even beta [21:58] danbh_intrepid: I found the profile directory for ff... [21:58] DuKeS: Just run it by itself. [21:58] oh, I missed a "d" the package is "JBidWatcher" [21:58] bobertdos: lol oh boy, i'll need to start gaining knowledge of all this terminology :p but ok, if you say don't do it i wont ...my instalation is just done so brb...i'll reboot into the installed os now:) [21:58] Any idea? [21:58] jrib: I know, but 30 oct is just around the corner :-) [21:58] whyameye: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && ls -al ~/.mozilla | pastebinit [21:58] jrib so i should be able to download a gtk theme for say gnome-look , then goto System > Preferences > Appearance , choose install on the themes tab and select the one i downloaded ? === r0nn1e is now known as ronnie === Aura is now known as Aura- [21:59] crdlb: Wow, that's kind of crucial to know, thanks for correcting me. [21:59] jonasb: and to be honest: i'd never expect too much of the first release after an LTS one. the dev's are quite adventurous with these .... [22:00] When I unplug my flash drive then plug it back in without restarting the old mount point is still there. I have WD Passport, WD Passport_ and WD Passport__, how can I fix this so it won't happen? [22:00] HELP PLease [22:00] Xcerca: maybe. Depends on the theme. It may only show up in the Controls tab when you hit Customize [22:00] stefg: I see [22:00] willan ubuntu install from within windows still write grub into the mbr?Concerned about a dell recovery partition [22:00] crdlb: Oh wait a second, yes of course those settings are in gconf, I've read those keys!! *trout slaps self silly* [22:00] Sunborn: it's probably fine in this case. But it's always a better idea to install your custom stuff to /usr/local/ or /opt [22:01] whyameye: well, I really dont know. you could always try: sudo chown -R user:user ~/.mozilla [22:01] I have a thinkpad X61 and I'm having trouble getting it to suspend/resume in hardy. Does anyone have any suggestions? Various web searches claim it should work as-is. I haven't changed much yet. On resume it gets stuck at a screen with a blinking cursor, and alt+f7 to return to X just hangs [22:01] Winston_SmithVT: do you eject/unmount before unplugging it? === onx^ is now known as onx [22:01] jrib: I didn't, I didn't even know I had to [22:02] gnuskool If you mean using wubi.. you should read up on what wubi is and how it works.. I wont use or recommend it [22:02] jrib: I was more concerned with the security problems with using "gksu nautilus" [22:02] Winston_SmithVT: yeah, you should. That way you make sure the data is written to it [22:02] danbh_intrepid: thanks. That fixed it. [22:02] jrib: I see that's my problem, i'm going to look around to see if I can make it auto dismount. Thanks for the tip [22:02] and if it was a bad thing [22:02] Sunborn: there's none really. It just gives you a graphical way to screw up your system instead of using the command line to do it [22:03] which I was hoping for, but wondering if it was "bad" [22:03] jrib: Used to windows just unplug it, still getting used to GNU/Linux [22:03] Jack_Sparrow: thx [22:03] np [22:03] can anyone tell me how do i mount my cd back again after i did wine eject ? [22:03] Winston_SmithVT: you need to "safely remove hardware" in windows too. It was the case in XP anyway === foxhop is now known as fxhp [22:05] jrib: I've never done that, always just unpluged the drive. Never seamed to have a problem i've been using this drive for a few years now [22:06] bobertdos: It installed fine and i got windows on the grub loader :) so the first thing i wanna do before i start messing with codecs and stuff is download all the updates right? and u said to not enable the restricted nvidia driver? because some people have said to use sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx [22:06] Winston_SmithVT, You are a lucky lucky fellow ... [22:06] do you like gambling ? === _weltall is now known as weltall [22:06] DuKeS a quick backup might not be a bad idea either [22:07] Hello are there any users of APTonCD here that might be able to help with an apt source nameing issue/question? [22:07] Jack_Sparrow: how do i do that? [22:07] question, how do I change the console screen resolution, I think default is like 640x480? I'd like to use 1024x768. [22:07] Whitor: not really from what I understand, windows mounts it the drive synchronously so data is written to the disk right away instead of buffered [22:07] !backup > DuKeS [22:07] DuKeS, please see my private message === _un\a\ffiliate is now known as un\a\ffiliate [22:07] jrib: thanks for your time [22:08] grr droped my laptop and now ubuntu does not startup...completly... x starts up but than it hangs... what shall i do? [22:08] Hello, i am interested in getting involved with ubuntu development. Is this the right channel to ask for guidance regarding that? [22:08] DuKeS: Ditto to what Jack_Sparrow said. Yes, start with all the updates. As far as everything else is concerned, this is my general rule of thumb: Start with the most basic components first, see if they satisfy your needs, if not, slowly try other things (especially when it comes to video drivers). [22:09] Sliss: check for bad sectors [22:09] Sliss: use fsck [22:09] Sliss: or badblocks [22:09] Sliss: well if you dropped it you probably damaged the hardware, now X is very picky about hardware [22:09] I did via gparted live cd [22:09] Sliss was it running when you dropped it? [22:09] bobertdos: ok...im reading on how to backup the system right now. thanks [22:10] no it wasnt running [22:10] Specifically my issue is that I downloaded all of the main ubuntu repository and I let APTonCD filter out the old packages.I burned my 2 DVDs but there both named the same name in the sources list.How can I know what disk to insert when asked? [22:10] Sliss: does X say where it stops? [22:10] anyone has got ubuntu running on an MSI Wind (u100) ?? I've some issues [22:10] Mark_Jones if you put the wron one in.. iot should let you know [22:10] Aura-: no I do get my background img though [22:11] Sliss: check the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log to look for where X stops [22:11] Well thats fine if all I had to deal with is just the 2 disks, but Ill have 5 or more when done backing up the entire repositories for ubuntu. [22:11] and then it tries to show me a small window but it t\stays white [22:11] One problem how do I get into a terminal? [22:11] exit [22:12] if i copy files off a partition on my encrypted lvm onto a flash drive, the file wont be encrypted on the flash drive will it? [22:12] i cannot unlock the user and groups applet in gnome-control-center; the button is disabled [22:12] ctrl-alt-f1-6 do not work [22:12] hvgotcodes: depends on the target flash drive file system [22:12] Sliss: Alt-F2 for "Run", type in gnome-terminal [22:13] venome -- i guess i should just try it eh? [22:13] i think gnome is scruwed [22:13] I also have a working mouse thiugh [22:14] *though [22:14] Ok lets try this question then, does APTonCDs media that it creates have a file or something that I can edit to change the name lkisted in the sources list? [22:14] DasEi, u available by any chance to help me copy these ntfs files to usb? i got the new disk you told me to, and have a terminal open. the ntfs file is /dev/hda2 and the usb is /dev/sda. i am root in the terminal.

[22:16] Sliss: booting into failsafe X is selectable at the login screen, not the GRUB screen [22:16] Dragon: cant you use ts? it sucks hard too but atleast they provide a linux client..

[22:19] Sliss: theres still time to bring up the grub menu if you set it to 0 [22:19] saintbob: you can manually download packages with a gui and just run them from your desktop [22:20] saintbob just google, flash and java install [22:20] xxploit: with what key? [22:20] Does anyone here use ventrillo on linux through wine [22:20] k [22:20] Sliss: hit escape as soon as u see the grub text [22:20] ok i'll try [22:20] i don't want to use scponly because i also use ssh server alongside with users that CAN log in, so i don't want another daemon unless its on the same port (22) [22:20] Dragon does ventrillo not have a linux version ? [22:20] Dragon: i see, maybe have a look at its appdb entry if it has one [22:20] Xcerca: nope [22:21] ubuntu master [22:21] ventrilo = fail! [22:21] Xcerca: No it doesn't [22:21] Xcerca: no it doesnt, but u can install via wine, theres a couple ventrilo scripts on the web also to make the install easier [22:21] i dunno , i use skype it has a fully supported linux version [22:21] ventrilo= fail!

Things not going well [22:22] mgolisch: wait how do i check the appdb entry [22:22] built ok. but rails says it doesn't know >= [22:22] hey, guys. Got a Gateway M-6881 laptop with Intel X3100 graphics. Kubuntu claims to be using the vesa driver, but if i run glxinfo, it shows direct rendering support. Should i be using a different driver, or is this the best one to use? [22:22] http://appdb.winehq.com @ Dragon [22:23] Right. I've got Ubuntu to boot now but im having a problem with my wrieless USB dongle made by belkin how can I set it up? [22:23] myk_robinson: yes, you can get direct rendering through MESA; however your driver will determine its speed at rendering. [22:24] using the vesa driver can work; but it'll be slow, and things like desktop effects won't work at a happy speed [22:24] when I manually select my model of video card, VESA is the default driver. What package do i need to install [22:24] i've gotten: (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) when i tried to hook up ubuntu 8.04 with nvidia geforce 8600gts. i tried: swapping out mobo (to intel p43 chipset), using envyng, downloading and compiling drivers from nvidia (compiled but same error), using the restricted modules for ubuntu (nvida-glx-new)... and everything results in same error. what am i doing wrong, what can i do? [22:25] install the Intel video xorg drivers, myk_robinson [22:25] BTW, i am using Kubuntu, just those guys arent talking :) [22:25] Right. I've got Ubuntu to boot now but im having a problem with my wrieless USB dongle made by belkin how can I set it up? [22:25] arooni-mobile: does the nvidia driver support the gts cards? check their site.. there's supposed to be a list somewhere [22:25] arooni-mobile: you using 64bit? [22:25] package manager shows them as installed [22:25] how do i get a terminal like the one in backtrack distro in ubuntu? === bal is now known as baaaal [22:25] xserver-xorg-video-810 and xserver-xorg-video-intel [22:26] xxploit, nope [22:26] gnuskool: perhaps describe to us what the backtrack terminal looks like.. we.. eh.. mostly run ubuntu here.. =) [22:26] Slart: it has a transparent background/wallpaper etc [22:27] ganymede: you can still do that with scponly [22:27] question: was installing ubuntu doing the duel boot option and where it shows the slider for the windows/ubuntu partion I can't seem to drag the slider because my mouse won't work? [22:27] xxploit: doesn't the gnome-terminal do transparent background? thought it did.. [22:27] Slart it's embedded, transparent [22:27] Khisanth: yeah, looks like i didn't do enough reading. i figured it out. i thought scponly was a separate ssh daemon [22:28] Khisanth: thanks [22:28] Slart: hes talking about the bootsplash, not using a bootplash but using a bordered wallpaper with the boot terminal inside it etc. Best i can explain it [22:28] ganymede, you want to chroot cretain users that sftp ? [22:28] ok.. my gnome-terminal also crashes if you change the profile.. hrmpf.. but it was transparent alright [22:28] sshd2 can do that natively [22:28] simNIX: yeah, i already created a user with shell scponly, i can also chroot it? [22:29] anyone here know of an MP4 conversion app for Ubuntu? [22:29] how do you tell Ubuntu to reconfigure the sound card? because I changed my mainboard [22:30] scponly is long time ago I used that since sshd2 has it build in - scponly has 2 shells you can set - only one chroots - scponly also needs sftp server in chroot space [22:30] Slart, its not onsupported hardware [22:30] it worked already., [22:30] :-) [22:30] firefox over X doesn't work very well [22:31] Vent still isn't working through wine, I get an error when i start it up, Failed to open input device. Another program might have it open already. rc = -10 [22:31] is there any kernel I can use to take full avantage of a core 2 duo? [22:31] Hello. Does there exist any tool that can give you i/o statistics? Something like top is in regards to cpu and memory [22:31] Does anyone know what menu gOS uses? [22:31] simNIX: i'll try with scponlyc shell instead. what server are you using that has that functionality built in? i'm using the one that ships with ubuntu by default. i skimmed the manpage of sshd_config but didn't see anything about scp only [22:31] jin: -generic will use both cores already [22:31] Anyone know how I can slide the partioner thing while trying to install ubuntu without using the mouse? my lazer mouse won't turn on when i'm installing [22:32] waterflask: I think atop will do that [22:32] arooni-mobile: hmm.. then I don't know.. I would say that both envyng and nvidias own installers are pretty good.. never had them fail on me [22:33] xye: try tab and arrow keys and maybe space I guess :/ [22:33] argh my denyhosts just blocked me [22:33] waterflask: apt-get sysstat ; iostat [22:34] ganymede lol.. why? [22:34] B3z3rk3r: i set the shell to scponlyc but which the wrong path (/usr/bin instead of /usr/sbin) so i got too many failed log in attempts [22:34] I'm getting an error when i start vent through wine the error is this: Failed to open input device. Another program might have it open already. rc = -10 [22:35] ganymede, I use http://www.ssh.com/ [22:35] ganymede oops.. do u know how to fix that??? [22:35] jrib i tried all of the keyboard buttons, haha [22:35] B3z3rk3r: clear the auth logs? lol...there's probaby a way to add an exception; i'm looking for that now [22:35] Does anyone know what menu gOS uses? [22:35] and it won't install because the disk size is 'too small' and I can't move the slider. [22:36] how can I tell if the server or desktop kernel got installed? [22:36] taonari: there is no difference [22:36] Hi, I figured out the grayed out buttons in users-admin. ck-launch-session must be started. I do not want to do this manually each time (i do not use gnome). which is the best way? .xinit or something works? [22:36] you can type uname -a to tell what version of the kernel you have [22:36] knoppixnoob: see pm forced [22:36] hey [22:37] Linux conga 2.6.24-19-server #1 SMP Wed Aug 20 18:43:06 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux [22:37] if i install Ubuntu server edition, will it have a shell on its screen output, or will i need to do things from SSH on another computer? [22:37] that look right rkvirani? [22:37] knoppixnoob: see pm forced (DasEi) [22:37] jrib: Seems like what I was looking for, thanks. Do you know if it is possible to see what process is responsible for what part of the i/o? [22:37] my install CD just arrived from canonical [22:37] ivantis: it'll be on screen as well [22:37] okay good [22:38] my other computer is broken at the moment [22:38] waterflask: nope [22:38] ivantis: it will prompt you for a login [22:38] ciaran: Seems iostat might be useful, albeit I get the feeling I need to read the man page before I can tell. [22:38] jimcooncat: like when i press Ctrl+Alt+F1 at a normal install? [22:39] I'm trying to run vent through wine and i'm getting an error Failed to open input device. Another program might have it open already. rc = -10 [22:39] whats vent?

[22:40] ivantis: yes. Though I do highly recommend setting up ssh as well. [22:40] like the address of the router? [22:41] jimcooncat: okay thanks [22:41] actually maybe i have that part correct [22:41] What's the command to open the directory '/' as root? [22:41] graphically, please [22:41] EvilDaemon: why? What do you want to do? [22:42] i can ping my box, and i can bring up the apache server page on it from another box. but i can't ping out from that box [22:42] ping google.com says network is unreachable [22:42] I need to change permissions to a file in /home/EvilDaemon, which only has root permissions. [22:42] @jrib [22:42] ifconfig shows no ip [22:42] ozzloy: does your ISP allow static IPs? [22:42] EvilDaemon: gksudo nautilus [22:42] but i can go to 192.168.1.20 [22:42] thanks. [22:42] ivantis: this is internal [22:42] hi! [22:42] oh [22:43] l [22:43] so my "ISP" does allow static IPs. in fact, i've been using this one for a while [22:43] possibly your router is not configured for static IPs [22:43] but just this morning it stopped [22:43] and i changed some stuff around trying to get it to work [22:43] ozzloy: what company you get your net from? [22:43] eventually i found that something's wrong with the hardware [22:44] so i've connected using different wires [22:44] i don't know the company i get the net from in this office [22:44] waterflask - good luck [22:44] ozzloy: so what is the problem specifically? [22:44] but that's not important. this is entirely within the network [22:44] hi all, one simple question, how do I uncompress an iso to a dir? [22:45] ciaran: Thanks for the pointer [22:45] Is there anything in the wiki to answer that, nigma? [22:45] nigma: is this using a command line interface or GUI? [22:45] !iso > nigma [22:45] nigma, please see my private message [22:45] is the same for me [22:45] the problem is this: on the bugzilla server box, ifconfig shows no ip, ping google.com says network is unreachable, but using other computers, i can still connect to the bugzilla web page being hosted by the bugzilla server (internally) [22:45] Hello everyone [22:45] ok ty [22:45] nigma: you need to mount iso files i think [22:45] so that's weird [22:46] help with packaging please!

[23:24] Jacobbs, i could be vague, but i definitly did not install any exotic packages like envy [23:25] so i can just type package after another and it will install them with one apt-get install command? [23:25] Well I'm reading that help thing now [23:25] hardy [23:25] yeah tbwen [23:25] Jacobbs, you will want the nvidia-xsettings package for the similar gui control you get in windows === bizkit is now known as bizkt|At [23:25] saintbob what exactly does lsb_release -a give you from a terminal [23:25] ceil420: thanks.

[23:26] One step at a time [23:26] lol [23:26] szal, lol i dont think i know what im talking about i guess ^^. [23:26] hehe [23:26] saintbob Your issues might be from some of the customizing you have done to your system.. What have you changed in your sources.list [23:26] OMG. i did not know you can type package after another.... i was going to do it one by one xD [23:27] I just updated a bunch of stuff in Amarok and want to take the changes to my iPod too, how do I do this? [23:27] Andeh, when i had a working ipod...i used something called floola [23:27] where can i go to look at it [23:27] saintbob sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) [23:27] does anyone have acer aspire one ? [23:27] Oh boy [23:28] setting up Ubuntu should be fun [23:28] i installed 3rd party drivers from nvidia's site on my pc, and every time i reboot - it seems like its trying to use some sort of default drivers instead ... so i have to contstantly reinstall the drivers each time i boot ... any ideas ? [23:28] Andeh, its a one file program, so its totally portable...ends up feeling like a clone of itunes... [23:28] lol, i have yamipod like that [23:28] papaj122: just state your problem, it might be a generic problem and someone can help you [23:28] airtonix: hmm. could i get floola to scan my iTunes folder (NOT library, Amarok updated only the folder) and compare it to the iPod, and sync only the changes? [23:28] Andeh,one thing yamipod didnt do for me was...convert video and move it there [23:28] otherwise i have to copy over 23 GB of stuff [23:28] did someone ask for help? [23:28] :P [23:29] i have problem with card reader [23:29] Hey guys, does anyone know how to change the font size in the logon screen [23:29] papaj122 internal card readers are tough [23:29] Andeh, test it out on a duplicated portion of your library...i think it only works against files/folders [23:29] it's not in logon preference [23:29] papaj122, i have a medion akoya (e1210) [23:29] is your card reader a usb one? [23:29] Jack_Sparrow: got a link on how to disable nvidia-glx and glx-new drivers from trying to load ? [23:29] lusb for us [23:29] Just to double check, burning the .iso onto a dvd should work right? [23:29] !blacklist [23:29] To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [23:29] Hello. Question: can the installer resize ntfs? [23:30] I made evertything what is in instruction but when i have my card in slot when I turn on the computer evertythink is OK [23:30] papaj122, lsusb i meant to type [23:30] PurityOfEssence yes, but defrag first [23:30] !away > datacrusher [23:30] datacrusher, please see my private message [23:30] but when I will put the card into the reade [23:30] PurityOfEssence: and dont forget to backup just incase something fuds up [23:30] when I'm using the comupet it doent see [23:30] PurityOfEssence: and make sure the ntfs partition doesn't get mounted while you install -- I just helped another person with that. [23:30] papaj122 is this internal on a laptop [23:30] Andeh, http://www.floola.com/modules/wiwimod/ [23:31] check out that feature list [23:31] yes its internal [23:31] papaj122 You can get external usb ones for under $5 that will work fine [23:31] bobertdos: why would it be mounted at install? [23:32] in aspire One - i read the faq in ubuntu site but it doesnt wokr [23:32] why i get this on apache [23:32] http://pastebin.com/m6a8d3f4e [23:32] papaj122 You can also see the laptop help page to see if anyone has got it going in the same hardware [23:32] and the second problem is internal MIC [23:32] can someone point me? [23:32] it doesn't work in ubuntu [23:32] the external is ok [23:32] espacious /j #apache [23:32] but internal not [23:33] already there [23:33] the internal camer and speakers work ok [23:33] papaj122 understood, and many many have not been able to get working [23:33] !enter > papaj122 [23:33] papaj122, please see my private message [23:33] is there a way of placing a window as you open it from commandline? something like --position="right side of screen" or something? is this program dependent? [23:34] ozzloy: two solutions. 1) You can use devilspie. 2) A lot of apps accept --geometry [23:34] ozzloy: i thought windows open where you left them for desktop apps at least [23:35] geometry will size windows [23:35] PurityOfEssence: that's not quite what i want [23:35] kmail is pissing me off. all in a sudden it isn't using kwallet. i don't know why. kwalet is still working with other passwords [23:35] oh yeah, i think geometry has xoffset and yoffset or something [23:35] is it possible to hibernate into a file and not into a partition? [23:36] sahak, yes but it would involve setting up all your swap again. [23:36] on my logon window the FONT is HUGE ?? why is this ? [23:36] PurityOfEssence: Honestly, it shouldn't. I just helped a guy though who, for some reason, had that happen. [23:37] !kubuntu > nonewmsgs [23:37] nonewmsgs, please see my private message [23:37] airtonix: well that's not a problem. i would rather have a swap file instead of a swap partition [23:37] this is under gnome :P [23:38] Hi, so after I boot my computer, if I use flash in a web browser (i.e watching a video with sound) I can no longer hear sound from audio files on my hard drive. If I open an audio file on my drive first I can't hear sound in flash. Any ideas??? [23:38] i'm still here download updates :) [23:38] so using qt apps in a gtk envirements means i should ask here or in #kubuntu [23:38] saintbob It shouldnt take that long to post a sources.list [23:38] Is there a way to watch stuff from fox.com with linux? [23:38] how do I post it here? [23:38] airtonix: is there a howto describing how to setup a hibernation file? [23:38] J-n: useragent switcher firefox [23:38] nonewmsgs: either, but you're more likely to find help with kde apps in #kubuntu as there are more users who use kde apps there [23:39] saintbob run the command I gave you [23:39] !pastebin | saintbob [23:39] sahak, hibernation just makes use of your swap...so in your case you need to go from using a swap partition...to using a swap file. [23:39] saintbob: 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) [23:40] sahak, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [23:40] are they any better (customizable) panels that can be recommended for ubuntu ? [23:40] sahak, section there on how to extend or change swap [23:40] jedimind I like cairo dock.. mine looks like mac osx [23:41] thanks jrib [23:41] jedimind, i like awn, it looks just like mac osx [23:42] jedimind= tint [23:42] airtonix: i think there is a difference between suspend-to-disk (uses partition) and suspend-to-file(uses swap file) === justin__ is now known as BM [23:42] sahak, what would that be? === BM is now known as Bad_Magic [23:42] <|unjustice|> jrib: so I compiled the nspluginwrapper .bz2 file and ran sudo make, and ended up with a bunch of other files in the folder...what else do I do to make it run? [23:43] sudo make install ? [23:43] jedimind: screenshot showing tint at the bottom of the screen (http://flickr.com/photos/killeroid/2715481865/sizes/o/) [23:43] im talking more about the top dock w/ the date, desktops etc [23:43] eai galera alguem pode me ajudar como que eu faço pra abri uma outra sala ?

[23:43] primeira vez em contato com o xchat for linux [23:43] yeah i said panel :) [23:43] jedimind: try pypane; [23:43] I'm trying to figure out whats wrong with my volume keys... when I press them I get the graphic overlay showing a speaker & a volume meter, but it isn't changing the actual volume. I have to click on the volume control applet to change volume... any ideas? [23:43] that looks nice Killeroid [23:43] *pypanel [23:43] jedimind you can move them anywhere you want [23:43] jedimind: thanks [23:44] Jack_Sparrow: i know, im looking to customize it a bit more [23:44] on a dell d820 with hardy if thats relevant [23:44] <|unjustice|> anyone here know how to get npluginwrapper to install on a 32 bit machine, in order to get sound to play in flash vids in Mozilla?

[23:47] i have no idea [23:47] since ive upgraded to ibex yesterday, im in low graphics mode :( [23:47] brainsonfire nvidia didnt detect monitor settings and available res [23:47] |unjustice|: If you're on a 32-bit machine, there is absolutely no purpose in installing, let alone compiling nspluginwrapper. Like Jack_Sparrow said, did you try installing libflashsupport (in the reopos)? [23:47] does anyone have any idea why I can't find my windows box over my network? [23:47] Hi, so after I boot my computer, if I use flash in a web browser (i.e watching a video with sound) I can no longer hear sound from audio files on my hard drive. If I open an audio file on my drive first I can't hear sound in flash. Any ideas??? [23:48] thanks Jack_Sparrow [23:48] what can i do ? [23:48] !res > brainsonfire [23:48] brainsonfire, please see my private message [23:48] DuKeS, try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973&highlight=refresh+rate+howto [23:48] !sound [23:48] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [23:48] yaddle: That is a known bug in Pulse. Switch everything over to ALSA to try and work around it. [23:48] plytheman, miss configured samba/shares or firewall on windows box. You could try the samba smbclient command to scan for shares, or some other tools. - also be sure you try to access it by ip, in case the hostname is not seen/in etc/hosts file [23:49] bobertdos: thanks :) [23:49] plytheman, the 'samba doc' package has several html books on samba confiuring and troubleshooting also. Worth a read. :) [23:49] plytheman: common causes of that for me has been firewall settings on the windows machine [23:49] * Bad_Magic sighs [23:49] maybe a firewall, i think its definitely on the windows side of things [23:50] see also port forwarding [23:50] plytheman, for starters see if the 2 box's can ping each other. :) Then perhaps try ssh/winscp see if that gets through. [23:50] !pm > brainsonfire [23:50] brainsonfire, please see my private message [23:50] anyone have any idea why snes9x wouldn't allow fullscreen unless i am running a "fullscreen" mode on a ps3? =x [23:51] 2 xp boxes and I just got my laptop with ubuntu, used to be that I could share folders between the XP boxes, and initially w‎ith ubuntu, now I can still get online, but nothing between computers =S [23:51] pastebin | saintbob [23:51] ?????????????????????? [23:51] * plytheman hates and sucks at network issues [23:51] Jack_Sparrow: I am praying for progress with Pulse in Ibex. I'm getting sick of telling people how buggy it is :p [23:51] saintbob sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) [23:51] bobertdos agreed [23:52] plytheman, theres 'network' issues.. then theres 'services' issues. :) Your machines seem to be networked. just not configured for samba/smb correctly [23:52] Daft_Punk: sudo apt-get install trayer === daklan_zZz is now known as daklan [23:52] yeah, I've no idea what samba is... I'll go read up on it [23:52] plytheman, if you are not doing a lot of file transfers, I find winscp works decently well for the occasional file transfer to/from the linux machines [23:52] Killeroid, thanks i did that, i just dont see where trayer is located to run it [23:52] plytheman, samba is what gives linux the 'network neighborhood' stuff :) [23:53] i cant change my grub menu, it wont let me save [23:53] ej gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [23:53] http://pastebin.com/f63795577 [23:53] plytheman, the samba-doc package has html books on the topic. One of those things thats worth reading if you plan on using it a lot. [23:53] well, even from one xp to the other I can't seem to get the network places to work [23:53] can someone help me out here.. -> Logon fonts are HUGE! [23:53] tried that it wont load [23:53] pinging worked from one to the other tho... [23:53] nothing seems to be working to fix it [23:53] plytheman: make sure your xp boxes are both in the same workgroup [23:54] * plytheman goes to get samba-doc [23:54] plytheman, check the workgroup names also. also try entering the share name //machinename/share and so on.. it can be annoying finding whats going on. [23:54] both should be on MSHOME [23:54] plytheman, or windows to linux conectivty I use Samba - and for oacasionaly sftp over ssh2 with filezilla [23:54] or=for [23:54] plytheman: double check, that gets me from time to time [23:54] saintbob I see nothing wrong in there, did you just make any changes to it? [23:54] plytheman, im not sure what the default workgroup for linux box is. it may be 'workgroup' :) [23:54] right oh, lemme try messing with windows a bit [23:54] plytheman, i also tend to install the full samba packages on ubuntu, and set up the homes directory to be shared. [23:55] now if i can just figure out why the hell X is bombing out with snes9x id be a happy camper [23:55] last time I just found it in Windows Network > MSHOME > Media > etc etc on ubuntu no prob [23:55] Daft_Punk: perosnally, i start trayer with this command ( trayer --edge bottom --align right --widthtype request --height 18 --expand false --transparent true --alpha 255 --margin 8 --distance 8) [23:55] Daft_Punk: withotu the parentheses of cource [23:55] i just updated ubuntu and they may of helped i'm accessing my email now and some other website i couldn't before thanks [23:55] ej: You don't get prompted for a password or gedit won't open? [23:55] Killeroid, is there a gui for it though? i was looking for the command to start that [23:55] it opens but there is nothing there [23:55] Daft_Punk: i made an entry under sessions to run that command anytime i log in [23:55] ej you have the path wrong [23:56] Daft_Punk: no gui that i know of [23:56] :X [23:56] ej gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst MENU.LST in lower case [23:56] on 'run' should it be: \\MSHOME\Media\folder name? [23:56] cus thats telling me nothing is found [23:56] plytheman, if this is a new ubuntu isntall. you may want to update/upgrade also - be sure you are up to date.. the earlier releases had a few bugs in the samba stuff i recall [23:57] ej: and yes, that first / is necessary [23:57] thnx [23:57] plytheman, theres also other tools that browse/scan the windows-share-network You are using the gnome-file manager to do it. :) Theres 'smbclient' (cli tool) and other gui tools as well [23:57] funny enough I look up and it says that there's one update, RDESKTOP, but dunno if thats related at all [23:58] rdesktop = remote desktop [23:58] i think [23:58] dr_willis yes
