[00:00] How do you find out what version of Ubuntu you are using? Is there some "ver" command? [00:00] keithclark, i've just gotten back - gimme a couple of minutes [00:00] Pirate_Hunter: thanx for trying to help but what you told me is unrelated to my question, as my question was about a window / screen of the installation process [00:00] J-n, apparently it was an issue with the permissions. so... all those work arounds.. were pointless lol. [00:00] loquitus_of_bor1 lsb_release -a [00:00] est14, eek okay [00:00] eddwinpaz, like "sudo mkdir /etc/www/new" (or whatever) and "sudo chown username:username /etc/www/new" [00:00] zipper, is it just writing an "eth0" empty file in the dir? [00:00] loquitus_of_bor1, you can do "uname -r" [00:00] why is flash no working? [00:01] BM i need to create new individual folders to diferent scripts and using the console would take me more time , reather than creating it graphicaly dont you think ? [00:01] has anyone had a sound problem in Hardy like i have? then downgraded to Gusty and not have it anymore? === CapnFop is now known as fophillips [00:01] loquitus_of_bor1, that will show the kernel version, there is another command as well that will give more info which im forgetting [00:01] edd: do you have them arranged how you want already? [00:01] est14, i'm not really that comfortable with the GUI to be honest, ubuntu might have a different way of setting up network cards now. And no, you need to add a bit more than that, but seeing that it "works" in the GUI, i would be cautious about adding anything directly in the config file. It might conflict with the GUI [00:01] skylar, where did you install flash from? [00:02] my home directory [00:02] and then tried synaptic [00:02] zipper, any clues as to where to go next? [00:02] !who | skylar [00:02] skylar: 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 :) [00:02] so im a total noob how do i install zipped exe file? [00:02] eddwinpaz: do you have them arranged how you want already? [00:03] est14, if the GUI shows it as working, cant you just use that to configure it to use dhcp instead of manually doing it? [00:03] .12123kco2 [00:03] oops [00:03] skylar, ok so you mean you downloaded it off adobe's site? if you use synaptic, try enabling the non-free software source, and make sure to install flash-nonfree [00:03] bbl [00:03] zipper, I'm using dhcp [00:03] bring2towels, my home directory .. flash non-free si not working, do I need a reboot? [00:03] keithclark, ok, let me know when you're ready. [00:03] BM can we private message ? it would take just a second.. [00:03] est14, but....? [00:03] Ward1983: self correcting your errors i understood that the question was that you didnt know what to type in which case you didnt know the hd to use considering hds are in alphabetical order i.e. hda (1hd), hdb(2nd hd), hdc(3rd hd), it shouldnt be hard for you to work out which hd to use but to make sure you shouldve read fdisk as fdisk -l lists your current hds, so i believe what i told you wasnt unrelated to your question [00:04] zipper, which takes me to the other part of my question, since I see no "wireless" beside "ppp" and "wired" interfaces. [00:04] how do i open an exe zip file? [00:04] where does the .so need to go by default? [00:04] deevals: wine? [00:04] zipper, it seems to configure OK, but I just can't reach the network. [00:04] win? [00:04] where is firefox plugins? [00:05] hi [00:05] deevals, you normally can't use exe files on ubuntu - not unless you use wine [00:05] Pirate_Hunter: well i know the HD i need to install to is sde [00:05] est14, if you type 'ifconfig' in a terminal, does it look like its configured properly? [00:05] zipper, indeed. [00:05] what are the file types that at exicutable on ubuntu? [00:05] can someone help me understand why screen is not allowing me to scroll up when using normal terminal window yet i can scroll on my 1st window with irc [00:05] unop: welcome back. [00:06] Jack_Sparrow: hey Jack [00:06] hey [00:06] keithclark, ok, is that dpkg-reconfigure command still running? [00:06] Jack_Sparrow: I found the problem we were discussing this afternoon [00:06] unop: done [00:06] est14, interresting.... then it *should* work. Can you ping anything on LAN? [00:06] keithclark, it finished successfully? [00:06] zipper, nope. [00:06] oO [00:06] i want to upgrade my laptop hard drive.. is there a straight forward way to copy everything across to it without reinstalling? [00:07] unop: sec, how do I change my name from kei..._ to keithclark [00:07] keitchlark: /nick newname [00:07] how do i use any of the zipped files i dl? i clik them it brings up some box that dose nothing for me [00:07] Jack_Sparrow: I found out that my supermicro server is also subjective to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/148466 [00:07] Launchpad bug 148466 in linux "Won't boot on a DELL Poweredge 2500" [Undecided,Fix released] [00:07] Anyone have any idea why I can't run snes9x in fullscreen mode on my ps3 unless I use a 'fullscreen' ps3-video-mode (and thus have the associated overscan issues)? [00:07] est14, do you have several network interfaces (eth0, eth1, eth2)? Even if dhcp should be the default setting, try making sure it is for all of your interfaces [00:07] deus any fix for it [00:08] Jack_Sparrow: However this bug is solved in the ubuntu 8.10 release which seems to run fine. Have to wait another month before the final ubuntu version is released [00:08] unop: no, did nothing [00:08] deus glad you found out what was going on === freqk is now known as freqk|away [00:08] Jack_Sparrow: I've tested the latest alpha of 8.10 and I haven't encountered any problems yet. [00:08] deus: Have they got the artwork done yet? [00:08] zipper, how can I tell? Isn't eth0 the default wired interface? [00:08] Is there a way to use tightvncserver with vnc-java? [00:09] Jack_Sparrow: yeah, pitty there is no ease bugfix :) [00:09] Funkah: no idea, i'm running ubuntu server without any dirty graphics :P [00:09] deus: Darn :p [00:09] keithclark, ok. run this command, it will return a URL to you, paste that in here for me. which pastebinit || sudo aptitude install pastebinit; pastebinit < /etc/X11/xorg.conf.messed_up [00:10] unop: see, I don't see your msgs. [00:10] est14, dont think you can say one of them is "default" if you have several. I believe they are mapped (0,1,2,3 ect) according to their IRQ numbers. My theory is that you're configuring one of your other interfaces, that doesnt have a cable plugged in. But then again, if eth0 properly gets an IP from the dhcp server, that shouldn't be the case [00:10] ok i'm off to bed. Good night everyone :) [00:10] keithclark, to change your nick. /nick keithclark [00:11] I have built an ubuntu box to play with and learn on. Now when ever I try to "sudo" to gain admin privileges I get an error "/etc/sudoers is mode 0777, should be 0440". If I try to change those permissions I get "Operation not permitted". I am sure this is my fault but I am not sure when or what I did to cause this (I think I messed it up a while ago). Can anyone help me? [00:11] Night deus. [00:11] can someone help me understand why screen is not allowing me to scroll up when using normal terminal window yet i can scroll on my 1st window with irc [00:11] zipper, my machine has 2 ethernet connectors, if that's what you mean. [00:11] maestrojed, you'll need to boot up into recovery mode to change the permissions on this file; [00:11] unop: oh wow, ok thanks [00:12] est14, yeah. Then you should have eth0 and eth1 [00:12] zipper, please disregard what I just said :(. === keithclark_ is now known as keithclark [00:12] will do =) [00:12] !networking [00:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about networking [00:12] how do i upgrade my hard drive?

[00:13] unop: http://pastebin.com/f58507714 [00:13] zipper, no, that's the problem. [00:13] zipper, and it used to... [00:13] anyone here use screen other than doing ssh connections, can someoen help me with screen? [00:14] how do I generate a UUID for my boot device for use with Hardy from the "root partition not found" emergency shell [00:14] single user-mode doesn't work either [00:14] unop: now that is the messed up version, right? [00:14] was thinking of burning a live CD [00:14] anyone know anything hardy's openoffice.org-writer2latex bug... i've tried a debdiff, but can't get the build-deps... debian pkg didn't work either... [00:14] est14, so uhm... what did you do to make it not work anymore? =P [00:14] keithclark, right, we'll try and work with this one - as dpkg-reconfigure fails for you [00:14] I am trying to enable a PCcard wireless N Linksys card on my grandma's laptop, but I do not think Xubuntu is seeing it. Model WPC300N V1 [00:14] keithclark, what does this command return? lsmod | grep -i glrx [00:15] zipper, I wish I knew...:(. [00:15] tesst [00:15] zipper, maybe trying to make the wireless work. [00:15] Anyone have any idea why I can't run snes9x in fullscreen mode on my ps3 unless I use a 'fullscreen' ps3-video-mode (and thus have the associated overscan issues)? [00:15] hi, ubuntu sayd fiorefox is rtunning but it doesnt show the window. if i open up terminal it makes me force quit it any idea [00:15] unop: this is how I got in trouble last time. I will trust you. [00:16] unop: nothing [00:16] keithclark, i understand - but it seems like our only way forward now, i'll try not to leave you hanging. [00:16] unop: ok, I trust. [00:16] Is there any way to reinstall the networking part from the install disk? [00:16] keithclark, ok. how about this then. sudo modprobe fglrx; lsmod | grep -i glrx [00:16] est14, making wireless work is usually not easier than making wired work. But in any case, you should try setting all of your interfaces (eth0 and eth1) to use dhcp. That way you're sure that the one thats connected is actually configured properly [00:17] hi, ubuntu says firefox is running but it doesnt show the window. if i open up terminal it makes me force quit it any idea, and it also does this to amny other programs [00:17] unop: Not loading fglrx module; not used in /etc/X11/xorg.con [00:17] how do I generate a UUID for my boot device for use with Hardy from the "root partition not found" emergency shell? [00:18] hmm [00:18] !blkid | hd420 does this help? [00:18] hd420 does this help?: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [00:18] zipper, what troubles me is that I don't even get a chance to config the wireless interface. [00:18] zipper, what troubles me is that I don't even get a chance to config the wireless interface. [00:18] keithclark, ok, cool. now, let's see what ati card you have. lspci | grep -i vga [00:18] hi, ubuntu says firefox is running but it doesnt show the window. if i open up terminal it makes me force quit it any idea, and it also does this to amny other programs [00:18] b3lorixx: its just ff crashing [00:19] est14, chances are your wireless interface is not supported. A lot of wireless chips arent. You might need to install a driver for it. Try searching the forums and/or google for your specific wireless card [00:19] unop: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R100 QD [Radeon 7200] [00:19] danbh_interid, yes but it happens with all teh programs it doesnt do it when i first start ubuntu up it only does it when the computer on for a long time [00:19] b3lorixx: A memory leak? [00:20] Funkah: how can i tell [00:20] b3lorixx: Well, I think that getting a slow computer / having trouble loading programs when the computer has been on for a time is a decent indicator, but I don't really know what I'm talking about. If anyone else does, please jump in. [00:20] zipper, hmm... you might be very right. [00:21] keithclark, ok. gimme a second to create your conf file. [00:21] Funkah, yes but ive had ubuntu installed MANY other times and its never done this [00:21] est14, if it is tho, it should show up in 'ifconfig' as wlan0 [00:21] b3lorixx: IS there a program you use regularly that you haven't had on previous installations? [00:21] unop: you go nuts....take all the time in the world. [00:21] zipper, let me do that. [00:21] Funkah: thats a negative [00:22] Funkah, i do have a restricted dribver installed but ive had that installed many other times 2 [00:22] i am using ubuntu and main menu dont work i tried to reinstall applets but nothing where is the conf files for applets ? [00:22] b3lorixx: Perhaps you could look into mtrace? I haven't used it before, but this is what it seems to be for. [00:23] dr3mro: try the gnome irc [00:23] zipper, it doesn't! [00:23] Hi. I was wondering, where does the python-nautilus tagging extension keep file tags? And are there any other stable and working solutions for file tagging in linux? [00:23] dr3mro: #gnome [00:24] zipper, gotta go now... thanks a lot and talk to you later... [00:24] est14, yeah, i didnt think so. Good news then, you're in for some fun =). Search the forums for answers on how to get your wireless card working. If you're using a laptop, try searching for the model [00:24] np [00:24] zipper, OK, thanks and goodbye!

[00:35] Paddy_EIRE, ubottu, that's not working [00:35] For multiple kernels, /boot with 512MB minimum is probably a good recommendation. That allows for back-ups and updates without hitting the limit [00:35] there's nothing in my restricted driver manager [00:35] <_Zeus_> hotmonkeyluv: the kernel is stored in /boot IIRC [00:36] hotmonkeyluv: well, I have 2 kernels installed atm, and it takes 25mb, so it sounds like 200mb should be fine === Kira is now known as Guest10840 [00:36] <_Zeus_> crabgrass: then you don't need any restricted drivers [00:36] !envy [00:36] envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package.

[00:44] Hi guys, today i have been experiencing weird problems with firefox...It randomly shuts down, different pages different times [00:44] <_Zeus_> jimdandy: the source looks bad to me [00:44] slut: a girl who goes with everyone... bitch: a girl who goes with everyone...except you ;) [00:44] i downloaded it from nvidia's website [00:44] <_Zeus_> !language [00:44] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:44] hold on didnt you say i just have to type ./filename.py? [00:44] S3lo: please stay on-topic [00:44] _Zeus_, you think the source is buggy? [00:44] k, sorry [00:44] <_Zeus_> viktor: if you were in the directory that the file was, yes [00:44] jrib, purging brings the same [00:44] It just happened again, I had firefox open in the background and it just crashed [00:44] crabgrass: when you do what the bot just told you, it asks you to pick a driver from a list. [00:44] <_Zeus_> what do you guys think of this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/48439/ [00:45] <_Zeus_> it doesn't look like an error with jimdandy' [00:45] <_Zeus_> *s system [00:45] Hi, I have a question regarding vsftpd and FXP support. Can someone help? [00:45] ahhh okay... sorry got it now i think... how do i get to the desktop? /home/user/Desktop/ ? [00:45] <_Zeus_> !ask [00:45] 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. :-) [00:45] <_Zeus_> viktor: exactly [00:45] un: mess with /var/lib/dpkg/info/openoffice.org-writer2latex.prerm [00:45] Anyone have any idea why I can't run snes9x in fullscreen mode on my ps3 unless I use a 'fullscreen' ps3-video-mode (and thus have the associated overscan issues)? [00:45] thanks ill try! [00:45] With FreeBSD, i use nfs_mount -i flag (intr) which should make unmounting easier if the nfs server goes down. What's the linux equivalent? [00:45] Hi. I was wondering, where does the python-nautilus tagging extension keep file tags? And are there any other stable and working solutions for file tagging in linux? [00:45] jrib: working on it. [00:46] _Zeus_, i think your sk_buff has no member named 'mac' lol... sry... i had to... [00:46] if I type "chmod +xrw file", to who am I exacly giving those permissions? [00:46] yourself. [00:46] jrib, yea i played with that for a while then deleted it... [00:47] how crucial is it to do updates in hardy? [00:47] un: erm, there's no file at all now? Do you have the original somewhere? [00:47] EvilDaemon, giving permissions to myself? That doesn't sound reasonable [00:47] xomp: why not do them? [00:47] xomp: security updates are important [00:47] because I had hardy installed once and done some updates and got nothing but kernel panics afterwards :S [00:47] Schuenemann: paragraph 3 of "man chmod" [00:47] jrib: i just finished that command, and it didn't mention a single thing about a driver, it just wanted to know a lot of detailed questions about my keyboard. [00:47] I'll check [00:48] xomp: did it let you boot into the old kernel? [00:48] Schuenemann: use IntuitiveNipple's one [00:48] danbh_intrepid, yeah, if I hit escape and choose any of the choices it would boot fine. [00:48] SchneeSchwarz: "If none of these are given, the effect is as if a were given, but bits that are set in the umask are not affected." [00:48] _Zeus_: now it says permission denied [00:48] :/ [00:49] Hi, I have a question regarding vsftpd and FXP support. Can someone take a look at my conf file and see why its not working. [00:49] xomp: well, I think updates are generally good. Just don't enable -proposed [00:49] jrib, not anymore, i can pull one out of another deb, but that still doesn't fix unopkg not returning a value... maybe if i could use build-dep, i could handmake a deb that forces unopkg to return 0 instead... it still wouldn't work, but it's better than having a broken dpkg... [00:49] EvilDaemon, so, I'm giving permission to everyone? [00:49] danbh_intrepid, ok, i'll install hardy again tonight and give it a try :) [00:49] jrib, that being said i can't use build-dep... [00:50] What command line function can I use to find the GL and GLUT opengl libraries? I am trying to include opengl headers into my C++ source code. [00:50] and im not about to hunt all the source dependencies for openoffice.org, so im just gonna reinstall... maybe i'll go with Mint for a while... hacked up as it is... [00:51] un: could you extract the bad deb, the internal control archive, edit the script and re-archive it? [00:51] Anyone have any idea why I can't run snes9x in fullscreen mode on my ps3 unless I use a 'fullscreen' ps3-video-mode (and thus have the associated overscan issues)? I get the following error: XF86DGANoDirectVideoMode [00:51] un: all you need to do is edit the file [00:51] What command line function can I use to find the GL and GLUT opengl libraries? I am trying to include opengl headers into my C++ source code. [00:52] maybe, aren't debs binary? i didn't think you could just change the data inside them freely... [00:52] jrib, ill find and edit that file you mentioned earlier then... :) [00:52] un: They're gzipped with a gzip control and data inside [00:52] to update on my problem, if i do 'ls /usr/src/linux*' i find i have 2 directories "/usr/src/linux-version" and "/usr/src/linux-version-generic" (I run the generic kernel) and a file, "/usr/src/linux-version.tar.bz2". is this why my zd1211 driver won't build? should I have the actual src in a folder in /usr/src as well? [00:52] qah: apt-cache search glut [00:52] .deb is a binary format [00:52] if the problem is with dpkg, if it's the .postinst script, you can extract it, edit it, and rebuild the archives [00:53] un: right dpkg is just going to use whatever file is in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ [00:53] danbh_intrepid: Okay [00:53] IntuitiveNipple, I don't understand this exaclly. If I want to give read permission to user otto only, is that possible? [00:54] danbh_intrepid: I need something to be able to pass the comipler flags. That command just tells about the libs [00:54] _Zeus_, I commented about 20 or so lines ago, did you get that? [00:54] qah: sorry, I thought that was your question [00:55] #c++ [00:55] How can I setup my laptop so that when I press the eject button on my cdrom, it will automatically unmount the drive then eject? I'm tired of minimizing my windows to get to the icon, and click eject on it, I just want to puch the button on my cdrom [00:55] the prerm from debians binary calls unopkg in a bunch of odd if statements pointing to >/dev/null... can i just add a || true, or | 1, or something? [00:56] Nallep, the default should work like ht [00:56] How do I make sure I have the necessary sources installed to build and install a wireless driver from source? [00:56] like that* [00:56] Schuenemann: Yes, if otto owns the file (chown otto: file && chmod u+r file) [00:56] can anyone give me the channel of KDE 3.5.9 [00:56] !build > jimdandy [00:56] jimdandy, please see my private message [00:56] un: you can just put 'exit 0' on the second line. But I have no idea what any of the actual body is doing there, so you may want to look into it [00:57] nox-: close. i sifted through the man page of mount for NFS on gentoo and no luck with intr. i'll check on #gentoo. thanks [00:57] IntuitiveNipple, the only way is making him the owner? [00:57] Schuenemann: it doen't work like that for me, I have to click eject on the icon, I can't just press the eject button on my cdrom [00:57] why doesn't a Wubi install support Hibernate? [00:57] jrib, schweet... thanks for helping man... i didn't think i was gonna get any help on this issue [00:57] how i make wicd autorestart with KDE [00:57] my laptop is putting itself to suspend even though I have it set just to turn the display off never sleep? Any ideas? [00:57] tamer, make a .desktop for wiicd and put it in the .kde/Autostart folder (oldskool) [00:58] un: I think a common thing to do is also use 'set -x' (instead of just exit 0) and that will give you more output as to what is failing [00:59] jrib, the unopkg authors all say it needs a rewrite, so i don't care what it spits out, so long as i can apt-get db4.6-utils by tonight... === freqk|away is now known as freqk [00:59] Schuenemann: You could do it by group. make otto a member of 'somegroup', make 'somegroup' owner of the file (chown :somegroup file) and set permissions for the group (chmod g+r file) [01:00] With FreeBSD, i use nfs_mount -i flag (intr) which should make unmounting easier if the nfs server goes down. What's the linux equivalent? [01:00] hi [01:00] IntuitiveNipple, then file permissions are to be group-based? [01:00] this is my first time using xchat [01:00] i am from spain [01:01] id like to know how to add irc servers on xchat [01:01] un: can you do mkdir work; dpkg-deb --extract unopkg.deb work [01:02] #join pardus [01:02] unop: no, really big, default faunts/screen [01:02] Schuenemann: You can do both. The file might be owned by someuser:somegroup - you can set permissions for someuser and somegroup independently [01:02] Hi, I am trying to use a Zen burn color theme availabel at http://mavis.anu.edu.au/ubuntu/zenburn-gnome-terminal/%25gconf.xml . I created the profile in the folder and updated the %gconf.xml but it is always using standard White on Black. Am I missing something? [01:03] keithclark, i wonder how to take that - does that mean you have no big ugly fonts? or it didn't work and you have big ugly fonts? [01:03] Anyone have any idea why I can't run snes9x in fullscreen mode on my ps3 unless I use a 'fullscreen' ps3-video-mode (and thus have the associated overscan issues)? I get the following error: XF86DGANoDirectVideoMode [01:04] my ubuntu partition is not bootable... can i fix this? [01:04] IntuitiveNipple, this seems weird at a glance. If the file is owned by user 'xxx' it can't be read by user 'yyy' (only him, not any group) without making him the owner [01:04] thanks for the referral to the page on compiling, but it didn't help. the driver comes with no INSTALL, README, or configure.ac files or docs. There is no configure script I can see; just the Makefile. I'm going to try untarring the src tarball and symlinking it to /usr/src/linux/. [01:05] chris_____: is it in Grub? [01:05] kenBW: there is no grub. i think the partition has no bootsector [01:05] Schuenemann: Is that the problem you're experiencing? [01:06] chris_____: ah. out of my depth then [01:06] hey guys, i just got a new dvd drive and it's not recognized in kubuntu. can someone help me? [01:06] KenBW: i did some changes, my mbr was broken... now i have a new ubuntu install but would like to boot it [01:06] has anyone tried using ubuntu as a VM under Hyper-V? [01:06] ubuntu-server I'm specifically referring to [01:06] IntuitiveNipple, it's not a problem exacly. I was just wondering what was happening when I was using chmod without "ugoa" and then these questions popped up after I read the man page [01:07] Schuenemann: Ahhh... phew! I was starting to get brain-ache :) [01:07] hehehe. Thanks :p [01:09] !kernel > jimdandy [01:09] jimdandy, please see my private message [01:09] !kernel > KenBW [01:09] KenBW, please see my private message [01:10] hey guys, i just got a new dvd drive and it's not recognized in kubuntu. can someone help me? [01:10] i just wanted to say thanks for the one who told me how to make wicd at KDE startup works [01:11] Does anyone know how to detect the model of an analog gamepad? No markings on the thing itself, not even inside and analog, so no chips... [01:11] For some reason my workspace switcher is showing the little square as if I have 2 rows and 4 columns but it's set to 1 row [01:11] It's connected to my gameport [01:12] squares [01:12] groups [01:12] The website from which I obtained the driver source states "Make sure your kernel is compiled with wireless extensions (CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS) and USB support". Obviously the ubuntu "generic" kernel has usb support, is CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS compiled in? [01:13] jimdandy: Which driver are you building? [01:14] I am trying to build the vendor-supplied driver for the zd1211b/g usb dongle. I need the vendor driver to enable master mode. [01:14] tamer, your welcome [01:14] jimdandy: grep CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS /boot/config-2.6.24-19-generic [01:14] Hi, I have a question regarding vsftpd and FXP support. Can someone take a look at my conf file and see why its not working. [01:15] can someone help me? the resolution is kinda f'ed up [01:15] ive installed the nvidi drivers [01:15] the text is very small, and i can barly se it [01:15] I have hardy, xfce+networkmanager, always get "No network devices have been found", any idea? [01:15] Rindae, nvidia sucks :( [01:16] mm [01:16] <_Zeus_> what? [01:16] hello what is the protocol for asking a question? [01:16] <_Zeus_> !ask [01:16] 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. :-) [01:16] Rindae, the best chance, nouveau driver supports it [01:16] tamer, i have a kidney stone and i had almost lost faith in the community today... but sooner or later you'll run into someone who knows what you want to know... [01:17] jimdandy: Does the Ubuntu version in 'universe' not work? [01:17] i have a dual opteron 64bit machine and getting a kernal panic on installation [01:17] un, You are right [01:18] <^Phantom^> Hello again :D [01:18] billymcc99, it sounds to me like a hardware issue, get memtest86+ , try it first [01:18] ive run memory tests etc, [01:18] it runs the 32 bit verson of ubuntu fine [01:18] * ^Phantom^ is 99.999999999999% happy with ubuntu so far :D [01:18] billymcc99, just ask the question usually... to take up the least amount of line... if it get's a kernel panic then you probably need a different kernel for that hardware... [01:18] billymcc99: Can you capture the panic stack-trace on camera? [01:19] ^Phantom^, learn how to fix that .000...0001 percent... [01:19] it is relativly short [01:19] i will post in a second [01:19] <^Phantom^> lol :P [01:19] Anyone have any idea why I can't run snes9x in fullscreen mode on my ps3 unless I use a 'fullscreen' ps3-video-mode (and thus have the associated overscan issues)? I get the following error: XF86DGANoDirectVideoMode [01:19] =x [01:19] What is a good automatic back/archiving software that I can use? [01:20] Paradoxx, I use rsnapshot [01:20] Bad_Magic, are you on ubuntu or puppy?

[01:21] ive got everything else working, wireless controller, WPA, etc [01:21] is what i get on install [01:21] this is just some weird configuration issue is my guess [01:21] billymcc99, yea try a different kernel (distro, or ubuntu spin) [01:21] 4 years of computer science 4tl [01:21] =\ [01:22] + 2 years of on the job software engineering [01:22] lol [01:22] dli__, Does rsnapshot do individual files/folders or whole file systems? [01:22] could it be an that im not getting the SMP kernal from the iso? [01:22] hello [01:23] billymcc99: That's not much help without more context... photos are often the only way to capture the stack-trace [01:23] Paradoxx, it does file/folders, just like rsync [01:23] what happened to ntp-simple? [01:23] there are only 3 lines [01:23] !ntp-simple [01:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about ntp-simple [01:23] that ist the last one [01:23] Paradoxx, it uses hard links to keep it incremental [01:23] un: Any other ideas? [01:23] !ntp [01:23] Information about using and setting your computer's clock on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime - See https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/NTP.html for information on usage of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) [01:23] dli__, nice, thanks...I'll take a look [01:24] Hello! What's the program to run 'deb' commend? It is not installed by default on my Ubuntu [01:24] billymcc99: Is it happening when booting from the amd64 LiveCD or Alternate CD, or when starting ubiquity to do the actual install? [01:25] OsamaK: what exactly are you trying to do? [01:25] <^Phantom^> any video editors for ubuntu that i can use to remove commercials from tv show recordings and also crop and dissect parts of game recordings? [01:25] will ntp hurt bandwidth at all for a database server or will it be good to have? [01:25] OsamaK: sudo dpkg -i file.deb ? [01:25] <_Zeus_> it'll be fine [01:25] <_Zeus_> OsamaK: double-click on it? === freqk is now known as freqk|away [01:25] jrib: 'deb http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/intrepid-i386/arch ./' see [01:25] skylar: a few bytes a day [01:26] OsamaK: are you running intrepid?

[01:28] Hi, xchat package does'nt have a binary I can run, am I an idiot? [01:28] Also, hello from Hardy :) [01:28] <_Zeus_> m11: try editing the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:28] Jacobbs: it's just "xchat" :/ [01:29] how do i post this picture you wanted to see of the kernal panic? [01:29] Yea, I did that [01:29] Jacobbs: try /usr/bin/xchat [01:29] I did [01:29] _Zeus_: in xorg.conf there is no lines mentioned to resolution [01:29] Only has "plugins" folder [01:29] billymcc99: How about starting a thread in ubuntu forums, hardware & laptops section ? [01:29] IntuitiveNipple, thanks I guess unless you were talking to me afterwards ...

[01:37] jrib: And for sorry, I didn't get your first point [01:37] OsamaK: sometimes [01:37] amd64, we simply ask you to show a little respect when you're asking for help. None of us inhere are getting paid. Please follow the guidelines [01:37] Opmoderate mode (channel mode z). With +z set, quieted/banned/moderated users' comments still appear to channel operators [01:37] OsamaK: what is the sentence before the one you pasted? [01:37] zipper, no one is forcing you to reply and I didn't disrespect anyone [01:37] Hmm no luck with that, no php.ini in the apache2 or any of its subfolders [01:37] <^Phantom^> oh, okay, thank you IntuitiveNipple :D [01:37] no help here I guess... [01:38] sigh, suit yourself [01:38] zipper, remember how difficult it is to convey my thoughts via text on the screen [01:38] jrib: What's the program to run 'deb' commend? It is not installed by default on my Ubuntu [01:38] zipper, I didn't mean anything disrespectful and if you interpreted it that way I'm sorry you did [01:38] bash: deb: command not found [01:38] Ok, I now have Hardy installed, how do I go about not allowing "proposed"? updates from being downloaded/installed? [01:38] OsamaK: go to the website, copy the sentence right before the one you pasted here that began "deb ..." and paste it here.] [01:39] amd64, you were asked to use a pastebin, and your reply is that "you dont have time for this"?! okay then [01:39] Xecration: Well it'll look in a few other places, too, like /etc/php.ini before giving up and resorting to defaults. Best place to find out where it's looking is by doing a php file with just in it. [01:39] jrib: you mean "http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/intrepid-i386/arch ./" only? [01:40] Noooooooooooooooooo! now that I have Hardy installed the fellow who was helping me is no longer connected here and my question fades into obscurity!! :( [01:40] hmm === wjs_ltop_ is now known as wjs_ltop [01:40] xomp, what question [01:40] <_Zeus_> !ask | xomp [01:40] xomp: 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. :-) [01:40] zipper, the fact that I have to go to work has nothing to do with pastebiun [01:40] Ok, I now have Hardy installed, how do I go about not allowing "proposed"? updates from being downloaded/installed? [01:41] _Zeus_, csilk ^^ [01:41] xomp: System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager [01:41] zipper, again, consider the fact this is all text and you can't see what i'm saying, feeling, or my body language [01:41] <_Zeus_> xomp: Administration > Software Sources [01:41] <_Zeus_> IntuitiveNipple: huh? [01:41] OsamaK: the line above it... [01:41] xomp: then Settings > Repositories > Updates [01:42] <^Phantom^> amd64, aren't you going to be late for work? :P [01:42] Hello a little help please if some one has the time or answer. I have ubuntu and windows on the same system by grub. If i install the usb chipset in windows does it effect the usb ports in ubuntu [01:42] Hi everyone, I've got an issue - I don't know whether it's with firefox or php or what - probably my apache setup. When I try to navigate using firefox on my server to php files ON the server, it want to open them up in an external application. How do I fix this? [01:42] xomp: make your choices, close out the dialogs, then press the "Reload" button [01:42] IntuitiveNipple, ok, I don't appear to have propesed enabled there, I guess there is something else that gets updated that causes my kernel panics then :( [01:42] <_Zeus_> MrD1: nope [01:43] <_Zeus_> xomp: did you try System > Admin > Software Sources? [01:43] _Zeus_, Ok thank you must be some thing elses causing the problem [01:43] IntuitiveNipple, at some point during the updates I get a kernel panic upon restarting. Not sure which update is causing it but I'm only able to get back into gnome after hitting escape upon reboot and choosing a different kernel. [01:43] <_Zeus_> xomp: then click on updates [01:43] <_Zeus_> xomp: that's proabaly the new kernel..... [01:43] _Zeus_, yeah, proposed is not selected in there. [01:43] <_Zeus_> -3? [01:43] how would i start fluxbox with xinit on a certain display? [01:43] ^Phantom^, leaving now, ttyl [01:44] is there a way to not get the latest kernel? lol [01:44] xomp: ok... are you applying the updates from the Update Manager GUI ? [01:44] IntuitiveNipple, yes [01:44] OsamaK: "I'll help: For Ubuntu Intrepid I386 (unstable) add the following line to your sources.list". So it tells you that it is not a command, but instead a line you add to a file. And it also tells you that it is NOT for your version of ubuntu [01:44] <_Zeus_> xomp: just boot to -2? [01:44] <^Phantom^> wow this place is kinda quiet tonight [01:44] sfer3, sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 [01:44] _Zeus_, sorry, but I don't know what that means :( [01:44] then sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [01:45] assuming you are using php5 or abaove [01:45] *above [01:45] <_Zeus_> xomp: just keep booting to the old kernel [01:45] ^Phantom^: Got time for my question? :-p [01:45] ^Phantom^: Friday night, everyone's out on dates! :P [01:45] ...except us. [01:45] _Zeus_, ok, is there a way to troubleshoot what the issue is with the new kernel? [01:46] anyone know a room where i can get help for windows vista? [01:46] For some of us it's Sat morning! [01:46] i messed it up and it wont boot [01:46] <^Phantom^> h6w, i'm an ubuntu n00b [01:46] lol [01:46] speener: ##windows [01:46] _Zeus_, because I would really like to use a new kernel if it's supposed to be better, just don't know why it panics :3 [01:46] xomp: There's a bunch of logs kept in "/root/.synaptic/log" - you'll need to be 'root' to check them out though. Alt+F2 then "gksudo gedit" and navigate to that directory and pick the most recent log-file [01:46] join #windows [01:46] oops [01:46] sfer3, working? [01:46] <_Zeus_> xomp: it's probably not that much better..... troubleshooting the kernel is advanced stuff. you running intrepid? [01:46] IntuitiveNipple, ok, I'm running all the updates right now, should I check the logs after updating? [01:47] So, I autoremoved xchat and aptget installed again [01:47] Same thing, only "plugins" gets installed. [01:47] xomp: Does the panic occur during the installation? Or when the system restarts? [01:47] _Zeus_, no, I'm running Hardy, was running Gutsy. [01:47] csilk: I'll just check... [01:47] IntuitiveNipple, after the system restarts [01:47] <_Zeus_> xomp: i see [01:47] <_Zeus_> what is -e? [01:47] xomp: ok... which kernel version is it that is panic-ing? [01:48] * ^Phantom^ gets on Scroogle and looks for linux video editors :D [01:48] _Zeus_: http://freenode.net/using_the_network.shtml [01:48] <_Zeus_> ty [01:48] IntuitiveNipple, I'm not sure, I'll have to check again once I'm finished updating :) I had the panics in the past and went to Gutsy out of frustration so I'm trying Hardy once more to see if I can fix it's issues with my laptop. [01:48] how can i find out what resolutions my monitor supports so i can add it in xorg.conf? [01:49] <_Zeus_> m12: what were you using before? [01:49] is there anyone on that is an admin on the ubuntu forms? [01:49] Jacobbs: is xchat working now? [01:49] _Zeus_: what do you mean by before ? [01:49] csilk: Do I need to restart apache or something? Because I'm still having the problem.. [01:49] billymcc99: try #ubuntuforums [01:49] Nope [01:49] <_Zeus_> xomp: post the output of apt-cache policy linux-image-generic [01:49] I'm on my Windows partition heh === speener is now known as blunt420 [01:49] <_Zeus_> m12: before it broke? [01:49] Jacobbs: k [01:49] Wanted to play some Guild wars [01:49] <_Zeus_> :P [01:49] I'll figure it out another time :P [01:49] xomp: You can look in /boot ( ls -lstr /boot/vmlinuz*) [01:49] sfer3, yes sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [01:50] _Zeus_: fresh ubuntu 8.04 install [01:50] hi [01:50] !hi | MinusSeven [01:50] MinusSeven: Hi!

[02:00] woah double negative "ain't nobody got nothing on me" [02:00] _Zeus_: it said it overwrite and made backup [02:00] <_Zeus_> m12: did that change anything? [02:00] Jacobbs: you first install the build-essential package. [02:01] sec [02:01] http://code.google.com/p/pygraphics/ [02:01] Jacobbs: What are you trying to install? [02:01] rambo3, :) we'd been through that [02:01] I'm trying to get this onto my Ubuntu [02:01] _Zeus_: yes, i got one more xorg.conf file [02:01] Jacobbs: give me just a minute. [02:01] <_Zeus_> m12: i mean, did it change the res [02:01] I already have Python PIL (package python-imaging) [02:01] _Zeus_: yes, i got one more xorg.conf file [02:02] <_Zeus_> m12: i said, does it work now? (eg, more than 800x600) [02:02] I quit buying using ati 4 years ago. [02:02] _Zeus_: i got one more copy of xorg.conf , comand didnt do anything as i said 10 lines above [02:02] ati and linux goes good together [02:02] rambo3, that's besides the point [02:02] <_Zeus_> m12: you need to log out and log back in [02:02] rambo3, but i guess it doesn't matter anymore - since he's left [02:02] in a parallel universe and all :) [02:03] _Zeus_: will try [02:03] ati and linux goes good together, bwahahaha [02:03] rambo3, xomp> in a parallel universe and all :) lol [02:03] eitreach, I downloaded the pygraphics-1.5.tar.gz and it game with some files. [02:03] And I basically stared at them and said "I don't know what to dO" [02:04] rambo3, I'm hexed with a radeon mobility lol, believe me, I hate ati with a purple passion for the problems I've had in the past ;P [02:04] All the smaller text is screwy when i use wine how cna i fix this? [02:04] xomp, see nvidia's 8 series [02:04] _Zeus_: as i said, comand didnt do nothing but made one more xorg.conf file, no changes after restart X [02:04] Their mobile chips are faulty as hell too [02:04] Jacobbs: first step is usually to look for a README or INSTALL file in the package [02:04] Jacobbs: It's usually not too hard to do. Let me just have a look at the files. [02:04] so, is it really this hard to set resolution to 1024x768 ? [02:04] Jacobbs, yeah, Nvidia/AMD have gone to hell these past few years. [02:05] I'd have to look again [02:05] Yea, I did what it said [02:05] i'm trying to install 32bit ff on my ubuntu 8.04 64bit (intel) install. i found a thread on the forums that does it for amd, would that also work for me? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1174435 [02:05] stickboy: why do you want to install 32bit firefox? [02:06] Any one have any idea how to fix this http://paste2.org/p/76151 [02:06] is there an app that will connect to my phone via bluetooth and act like a headset (or like a car bluetooth hands free system) [02:07] jrib : i can't get a java applet to work but my friend running 32bit ubuntu can. [02:07] stickboy: 'amd64' just means 64-bit x86 based, it covers Intel too :) [02:07] <_Zeus_> vbabiy: that looks bad, i don't know [02:07] _Zeus_: yeah it sucks :( [02:07] <_Zeus_> stickboy: just like x86 is an homage to the 486, etc [02:07] is there a way I can tell if my system is 64bit? lol, I've always wondered.

[02:23] yeah i'm going to try another one of these [02:23] <_Zeus_> elexodus_napping: huh. that usually means ff didn't start correctly [02:23] <_Zeus_> skylar: grep "It Works!" * [02:23] hwilde: do dvds usually "break" ? [02:24] _Zeus_, hrm search for avant? [02:24] <_Zeus_> scratches? [02:24] no scratches on this one [02:24] elexodus_napping, i already told you, probably FF crashed, so the process needs to be terminated using System -> Administration -> System Monitor [02:24] elexodus_napping, did you tell her just turn it off and then turn it back on ?

[02:26] bring2towels: noth8ing there [02:26] hwilde: something like "Firefox is already running, and can't be opened..." [02:26] <_Zeus_> elexodus_napping: make a custom ff icon that will run the command "killall firefox" before starting ff [02:27] _Zeus_, so it can take a while to look through the whole computer even on a fresh install?

[02:59] np [02:59] !radeon | xomp [02:59] xomp: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [02:59] cyban: every problem is simply solved by buying certified linux hardware :) [02:59] m11, i don't think there is any 3d acceleration drivers for sis graphics chipsets for linux [02:59] MethodOne: i dont need 3d, i just need resolution [02:59] Hi!!! [02:59] bring2towels: it is enabled in software sources [02:59] m11, prety much - but inter graphics cards went out with 386's :P [03:00] bah, brb [03:00] m11 vesa mode will give 1024x768 [03:00] Jack_Sparrow: how can i set it to vesa ? [03:00] you could try editing the xorg.conf? that the right filename I forget [03:00] cyban they are alive and well [03:00] m11, oh ok, not sure then === Pnz is now known as PZt [03:00] just su - vi xorg.cong? [03:00] The nvidia-installer changed my keymap to us, where can i reset it to es? It's kinda lame having to run setxkbmap es all the times i login [03:00] lol Jack_Sparrow ya I still have 1 so I cant say anything [03:00] "unsupported dictionary type: regexps: Is the postfix-regexps package installed?" [03:01] which package do I have to install? postfix-pcre is installed. [03:01] python doesn't seem to be installed on my ubuntu [03:01] Jack_Sparrow: how can i set it to VESA ? [03:01] que paso [03:01] nada [03:01] cyban su -vi... ouch, we can do better, sudo nano or gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:01] Jack_Sparrow, man im used to AIX and FC7 :P lol [03:01] cyban I gotta go, see if you can help him edit that to vesa mode [03:02] Jack_Sparrow, which should I go for in that list of archives? [03:02] ah ya nano I allways forget that thing [03:02] Drk_Guy, system -> preferences -> keyboard? [03:02] Jack_Sparrow, just the main and universe binaries? [03:02] gluonman find edgy.. it is in there [03:02] whois syock [03:03] how do i startfluxbox using xinit? [03:03] im back [03:03] Jack_Sparrow, does Contents contain all the edgy repos? [03:03] Jack_Sparrow, or do I have to get the binaries for main and universe individually? [03:03] gluonman I have not used those in ages, you are lucky I even remembered the link [03:04] Hi Everyone [03:04] Jack_Sparrow, I'll figure it out, then. Thank you for your help. [03:04] bring2towels, thx [03:04] gluonman point your sources.list to the page I gave you [03:04] Jack_Sparrow, how do I do that? [03:04] IntuitiveNipplle was that pic any help? [03:04] help: I want to use su/sudo, but if I use it from any X terminal (I'm using xfce4-terminal), I get authentication failure. The root account has no password. But in tty, I'm able to authenticate. What's the problem? [03:04] 0.o cario's done downloadin brb [03:04] how to set graphic driver to vesa ? [03:04] syock, dont use 'su' and only the initial user has 'sudo' priviliages [03:05] syock, you need to use sudo, not su [03:05] Jack_Sparrow, I just comment out the repos in sources.list and then add the website you gave me? [03:05] !sudo [03:05] 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) [03:05] syock, also when running X apps as root. you proberly want to use gksu, or kdesu, [03:05] arf I have to compile it? [03:06] Yes, but my installation comes with a (passwordless) root user, and sudo still asks for password. Entering nothing gives nothing. su returns 'authentication failure' so I suspect that's the problm [03:06] Hi guys - I can never seem to get any microphones working with Ubuntu [03:06] Jack_Sparrow, is it just as simple as adding the website to the bottom of sources.list? Or is there a syntax? And should I comment out the already listed repos? [03:07] Since my ubuntu installation is not regular (installed from andLinux), may I know the default settings in sudoers list? [03:07] syock, sudo will want the USERS password. Not the root password. as for the rest.. not sure about your rather nonstandard sounding setup. :) [03:07] how to change driver in ubuntu to VESA ? any help ??? [03:07] dr_willis: my user account also has no password though [03:08] dr_willis: maybe I'll try setting password for both for now [03:08] syock, sounds rather insecure.. but its your machine. :) i find its often best to stick with the 'real' ubuntu, not one of these variants that exist. [03:08] hi [03:08] Jack_Sparrow, you there? I just have this last question to ask you. [03:09] I was wondering: how do I monitor a line-in audio signal, I am recording into sound recorded just fine, but want to fine tune my input, so I'm not clipping but getting a good level [03:09] syock: sudo and root have nothing to do with each other. [03:10] Flannel: only concerns /etc/sudoers? [03:10] syock: And your user password, yes. [03:10] Freedom_: Try audacity, it has a built in volume indicator [03:11] I tried audacity, and like the set up for editting [03:11] Is anyone able to help me with getting a microphone (or at least my microphone inputs) working on ubuntu? [03:11] but when i go to record I get an error [03:11] I'm looking for one good charts creator. Is there any with a good graphic quality? [03:11] sfer3, try alsaconf? [03:11] error while opening sound device: please check the input device settings and the project sample rate [03:11] hi. for some reason flash apps in firefox won't always work. like a youtube video won't load unless i refresh like 5 times. or slacker.com won't work unless i restart firefox without the page loaded and then navigate there after. sometimes starting ff with a a page with flash starting up will cause ff to simply shutdown. i'm on hardy 64bit. [03:12] ceil420: just type alsaconf into command line, do I? [03:12] Doesn't look like the command exists... [03:12] sfer3, if you have the alsa-utils package installed, yes. you may need to be root or use sudo to use the command [03:13] Stickboy- that used to happen to me until I installed the Kubuntu desktop- and it installed flash and now it works like a charm--- [03:13] Perhaps someone else will know the answer to my question. I was being helped but got left with one remaining quesiton to go. I was given a website with repository sources in it, and I was told to make sources.list point to it. My question is if I should uncomment the existing sources in the sources.list and add the website, or if I should just add the website. Also, is it as simple as just adding the website url, or is there a synt [03:13] ax? [03:13] Somehow after setting the password and removing it again (passwd -d), sudo no longer asks for the password.... or maybe because auth hasn't timeout yet. Have to wait and see... how long before sudo timeouts? [03:13] ceil420: Tried with sudo - command not found. Tried to install it - says it is the newset version. Any help? [03:13] gluonman, i know you can just add the website, but i don't know what parameters might be needed. said website should be able to tell you exactly how to add it to sources.list [03:14] sfer3, alsa-utils is already installed? [03:14] Yes, that's what it says, ceil420 [03:14] Anyone have any idea why I can't run snes9x in fullscreen mode on my ps3 unless I use a 'fullscreen' ps3-video-mode (and thus have the associated overscan issues)? I get the following error: XF86DGANoDirectVideoMode [03:14] sfer3, try su -c 'alsaconf' with root's password [03:14] so, after all posible options i have tried, resolution still at 800x600 and cant get it higher than that. this is fresh ubuntu 8.04 install on machine that worked perfectly with 7.04. all is configured but video resolution, can anyone help please with fixing this ? vga card is integrated SiS card. many tnx [03:15] ceil420: su: Authentication failure [03:15] Stickboy- that used to happen to me until I installed the Kubuntu desktop- and it installed flash and now it works like a charm--- [03:15] ceil420, it's one of those archive sites with a list of directories. No instructional information at all. But I'll just try adding the url to sources.list. And my guess is that I need to uncomment the sources already in there. [03:15] sfer3, it needs root's password, not yours [03:15] ceil420, I mean comment, not uncomment. [03:15] dunno about switching to kde...would have to redo everything [03:15] python list is empty_list = [] [03:15] right? [03:15] () is tuple and {} is dict? [03:15] you don't have to switch [03:15] Uhh [03:15] ceil420: Yeah, I know... I entered the root's password, but with no success [03:15] wrong channel wow lol [03:15] Jacobbs: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:16] gluonman, apt-get works by checking all the listed repositories for the package you requested; if the package isn't in ubuntu's standard repositories, it'll just move down the list [03:16] just use the package manager- download the package log off select -gnome make it the default [03:16] gluonman, don't forget to apt-get update after adding a repo so that apt-get knows to use it [03:16] ceil420: Tried every possible password I have the root password set as - even the one I type to get sudo su [03:16] sfer3, can you use "su -" to login as root? [03:17] ceil420: Nope. :S [03:17] ceil420, you obviously aren't up-to-date on the issue I was having. I'm trying to get ntfs-3g on my friend's Edgy computer (whose repositories aren't even supported any more) so that I can have read and write access to my NTFS formatted external so transfer all wanted files before I install hardy. [03:17] You tube would freeze for me and Bubblebox games wouldn't play-- But as soon as I installed the Kubuntu desktop --- now it works- I am in Gnome now.. [03:17] can someone help fix resolution on fresh install ubuntu 8.04 ? [03:17] sfer3, i actually use Debian, not Ubuntu; apparently they're not as similar as i'd hoped :x sorry, but someone else will have to help you [03:18] Hmm [03:18] ceil420, so, because the sources in sources.list don't even work at all (updating or installing is futile), I need to use this website. [03:18] Can you still help me with the alsautils thing? [03:18] sfer3: What problem are you having? [03:18] gluonman, if the repos don't even work, i'd assume you can just leave them commented. is there any reason your friend can't upgrade a couple of times? === mike is now known as papna === FrozenFire_ is now known as FrozenFire [03:19] I think that even if you install Xubuntu desktop (XFCE) it will download the flash as well [03:19] sfer3, alsa-utils is just a package that provides the alsaconf command [03:19] ceil420: I think I know why it doesn't have it - https://bugs.launchpad.net/alsa-utils/+bug/29597 [03:19] Launchpad bug 29597 in alsa-utils "alsaconf missing from alsa-utils" [Medium,Invalid] [03:19] If that's still up to date... [03:19] just make sure to accept the flash agreement [03:19] ceil420, she once had a friend who replaced her Windows with Ubuntu a long time ago and never taught her anything about updating, etc. So she never did. Now that the rest of us are in Hardy, she's still in Edgy and updates and installations from repos don't work at all. [03:19] what is the command line for the gnome menu in the panel? [03:19] sfer3: What problem are you having? [03:19] Jordan_U: I'm unable to get any microphone inputs to work on my sound card with Ubuntu... [03:20] ceil420, she doesn't know anything about Ubuntu other than using firefox and openoffice for simple tasks. [03:20] sfer3, that's weird; i'm on Debian Lenny and got alsaconf from alsa-utils [03:20] gluonman, maybe you can help her :p [03:20] @ sfer3: check your bios settings, my integrated card work fine i use it to record music with no probs [03:21] ceil420, well, I'm going to get her hardy (once I can get over this obstacle), and then actually teach her what she should have been taught before. [03:21] hello, i have a web cam, can anybody tell me one software to use it? i have ubuntu 64 bits 8.04.1 [03:21] gluonman, good man :) [03:21] punk3r: What sort of setting should I check? It has worked before with this computer, just not with Ubuntu [03:21] ceil420, but we're on wired internet, but only one wire, so I'm going to disconnect my box and connect hers and see if I can install ntfs-3g from sources.list with that website included and everything commented out. [03:21] sfer3: Are you saying that you do not have the asoundconf command, or were you referencing that bug report for another reason? [03:21] ceil420, I'll be back if there's still a problem. [03:21] Help! I need some help with installing NVIDIA drivers and getting my wireless to work in Ubuntu, I've been doing extensive research already. Looking for an avid Ubuntu user who might be able to fix my problem! PM ME [03:21] I confirmed that you can't sudo if your user account doesn't have password. Setting up password for good [03:22] gluonman, good luck [03:22] @ gp|kfall: use the nvidia drivers in the repo's, add/remove in apps or synaptic package manager [03:23] Jordan_U: Well, I can't run alsaconf. Sommend doesn't exist. [03:23] anyone got dirty dingo installed? [03:23] But upond typing asoundconf... [03:23] It seems to work. :D What should I do in there? [03:23] punk3r, Ubuntu runs at 800x600....what im trying to is fix it so it runs at a better resolution [03:24] gp|kfall: what resolutions does xrandr present you with? [03:24] ive tried going to Hardware Drivers and its unchecked there, or was unchecked but now its checked with nvidia_new and it did nothing [03:24] gp|kfall: open a terminal: type 'xrandr' [03:24] hmm let me install irc on my laptop next to me cuz this laptop is what runs ubuntu and i cant get wireless on there either so give me a minute ill be back [03:24] Jordan_U: What should I so with asoundconf?

I've searched everywhere, but can't find an answer [03:29] why ubuntu is still using pulse audio if alsa is still better? [03:29] hello, i have a web cam, can anybody tell me one software to use it? i have ubuntu 64 bits 8.04.1 [03:29] punk3r: and actually, even clearing the leases file doesn't make it forget its old adresses. and also, it's not a router; it's a switch with a dhcp server. and also, i have no idea where it is physically nor do i have administrative priveleges on it [03:29] lucax, err.. alsa is not 'better' , pulse is a feature that uses alsa. and adds new features [03:29] lucax: pulse audio has a different feature set [03:29] ok im back, what was the command that i need to run? someone with a D? [03:30] bummer ..... assigning addies i believe is the job of the router/switch not the client [03:30] I thought pulse will supersede alsa?

When I use ssh -X and then launch an then launch an app on the server, do I need to worry about the -nolisten tcp option? Or is that off by default? [03:58] what are the hostname formats?

[04:12] gp|kfall: open up a terminal window and type this in: sudo apt-get install build-essential [04:12] Ashex, looks like miro is the culprit; you may want to use youtube-dl instead [04:12] gp|kfall: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential === cyphr is now known as Greypoint [04:13] bazhang, I use it for grabbing hd trailers [04:13] lakalaka logs cant get to long by default === Athlonea is now known as athleone [04:13] anyone wanna share what desktop manager is on the bottom of this page?

[04:14] xbmc was release for linux mac and windows the other day [04:14] tcleval: you mean specifically in linux logs dont get so long? [04:14] why build-essential is not included in ubuntu, since it is essential? You can not compile a simple c code without this package. [04:14] Yeah, but how do I install it from CPAN? [04:14] does anyone know how to get a video wallpaper [04:14] okay so i know this isn't an "ubuntu" question -- but you guys are a lot more intellegent than the so-called "XP-pros"(if such a person exists)..anyways... does anyone know if I can use the same XP cdkey for more than one installation (i.e. comp#1 is running same xp copy as comp#2)?

[04:15] Ashex, any odd repos in there? did you stop miro? [04:15] it is on my other computer nfs [04:15] You could also right click on it and go Unmount or Safely Remove (I don't remember, I'm a Slack user) [04:15] bazhang, yes [04:16] Ashex, which repos [04:16] lakalaka just delete the files on /var/log using : sudo rm /var/log/* ... but as i said, u dont need to do that coz u arent running a server, [04:16] ? [04:16] :| [04:16] blah [04:16] bazhang, I have a few repos, mozilla ppa, boxee, dropbox [04:16] lakalaka about cron scripts, u can edit then with : crontab -e [04:16] Ashex, please pastebin sources.list [04:17] lakalaka u should read the manual: man crontab [04:17] lakalaka linux/unix is easy once u get used to manuals [04:17] bazhang, http://pastebin.ca/1206344 [04:17] Gr33n3gg, okay, I got it, thanks for thee hel [04:18] skylar: np [04:18] Ashex, how did you install flash for that [04:18] Ashex, also there are likely conflicts with all those extra repos [04:18] bazhang, downloaded it manually [04:18] lakalaka everytime u reboot that log files ll be overwritten.. so you shouldnt care about them most of the time... as u are using a laptop, u ll reboot once in a while, and the logs cant get bigger than a few kbs [04:19] bazhang, only additional ones enabled are boxee and dropbox [04:19] the rest are disabled [04:19] Ashex, how was that sources.list generated ##added by software properties ? [04:19] Ashex, but you installed from them right? [04:19] the top portion was by adept manager, the rest I do manually [04:19] What is a good note taking app that can sync to the web and is available for both windows and linux? [04:20] bazhang, yes [04:20] Ashex, the odd repos, miro are the main culprits, possibly flash install as well. [04:21] bazhang, I've disabled miro. I don't see how flash would affect system performance since I don't have a browser running all the time [04:21] Ashex, thought you said ff performance was an issue [04:22] I have added the repository for wine 1.1.5 and updated my sources, but I can't install the new version. What am I doing wrong? [04:22] hi [04:22] bazhang, it was one of them [04:22] can someone tell me where can i get the libpq-dev package? [04:23] Ashex, how old is this install [04:23] bazhang, it was more overall system is just a bit sluggish when opening apps/documents [04:23] apt-get install didnt work [04:23] bazhang, about 4 months [04:23] Hi all, how do I set my default Window manager in GNOME? I want to change it from Metacity to awesome [04:23] Whats the default, Gutsy or Hardy with Ubu Desktop? [04:23] Ashex, in future you may wish to have a separate home /partition ( !home ) [04:23] ArtVandalae: awesome --replace [04:24] bazhang, I do [04:24] whiteywulfy: try sudo apt-get install libpq-dev [04:24] I've got it on a seperate disk [04:24] so, is there a simple way to get resolution more then 800x600 on ubuntu 8.04 ? [04:24] whiteywulfy: sudo is "superdo" aka: root command [04:24] m11: I already gave you a link [04:24] I have it configured to one disk with seperate /boot and /, then another with /home, and another that is /media/big with all my media [04:24] Ashex, what java do you have installed [04:24] m11, you have su? [04:24] Gr33n3gg: yes, tnx, nothing from that works [04:24] im alrady root but it cant find the package [04:24] cyban: su ? [04:25] bazhang, 1.6.0_0-b11 [04:25] m11: Try Google. [04:25] hi all [04:25] cyban, dont use su [04:25] Does anyone know of any hacks for getting Adobe Air to run on 64bit Ubuntu? [04:25] ah ya sudo for Ubu, keep forgetting [04:25] Gr33n3gg: tried all options from there, maximum i can get 800x600 [04:25] or su - root [04:25] works too [04:25] eh [04:25] i'm lovin me some damn linux! [04:25] WhiteyWulfy, no [04:25] Does your video card support anything higher? [04:25] whiteywulfy: no idea. i just sudo everything [04:25] i was trying to add wxWidgets repository to the Synaptic sources but got the following error [04:25] !ot > badfish [04:25] badfish, please see my private message [04:26] m11, sudo vi /etc/share/X11/xorg.conf [04:26] I have added the repository for wine 1.1.5 and updated my sources, but I can't install the new version.

[04:26] cyban: why /etc/share ? [04:26] what's the difference between sudo and su - root? [04:26] !sudo | badfish [04:26] badfish: 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) [04:26] ah sry, minus the /share [04:26] (Not my default OS) [04:27] badfish: sudo escalates priviledges for a while. su makes you root. [04:27] i know what sudo is [04:27] cyban: edited it heavyly and still max 800x600 [04:27] i've used it for 3 days now [04:27] m11, did it have a resolution section? [04:27] wulf just mentioned su -root [04:27] ah, no adobe air on 64bit for me I guess :( [04:27] cyban: no, i added manualy [04:27] is su -root the rpm equivalent of sudo? [04:27] badfish: su alone is root. [04:28] cyban: subsection display --- modes ---resolutions [04:28] hi [04:28] m11, wait - you added it? [04:28] so su -root is putting the -root syntax on root [04:28] Nah, I'm not really into Pokemon [04:28] must be rpm [04:28] Is that an english chatroom? [04:28] cyban: yes, there was nothing in xorg.conf [04:29] m11, sec tryin to find/remember the command to rebuild xorg [04:29] i thought su was super [04:29] join / #ubuntu-es [04:29] can someone help me with this error from synaptic??

I tried getting my USB western digital My Book to be a shared drive on Ubuntu so my Vista machine could access it, and everything Ive tried ends up with Vista saying it cant access because of restrictions. I tried using the gui properties, and even though the guest priveleges are set no success. I also tried adding the device into the sbm.conf with no luck. Is this possibly because ubuntu recognizes the file system on the M [04:31] How do I make everything in Ubuntu larger? It suddenly became smaller....

You have to go into your BIOS as your computer is starting up [04:38] cyban: doubt that is so easy to fix :9 [04:38] THCLOKI, this is a temporary fix but I changed the sound driver to alsa and it worked [04:38] xadzax: it could be that on vista you are UAC [04:38] who can tell fo me chat yahoo on ubuntu 8.04?

This incident will be reported. ? [04:39] im on 5.10 so i cant normaly install java [04:39] Ubuntu doesn't boot [04:39] mneptok: chose xfix ? [04:39] Guest: no idea about java.so, i can't access internet from Ubuntu when booting to it, only when using vmware from winxp [04:39] Since i have changed some settings via Terminal [04:39] !recovery | THCLOKI [04:39] THCLOKI: To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" [04:39] m11: aye [04:39] Guest84523, that version has run its course and is no longer supported, please upgrade! [04:40] Ah [04:40] mneptok: done [04:40] THCLOKI, did u try recovery mode? [04:40] i cvant [04:40] thx [04:40] mneptok: reboot ? [04:40] i cant [04:40] m11: continue booting normally now [04:40] No, i did not [04:40] Hmmm. The user has no restrictions [04:40] mneptok: resume normal boot ? [04:40] its a admin [04:40] m11: aye [04:40] But i will try it, thx :) [04:40] THCLOKI, in grub try that [04:40] omg can some one just go into there web plugings and send me a java.so file [04:40] mneptok: booting [04:40] But, will the Stystem keep my Setting and Drivers? [04:41] THCLOKI, It should [04:41] just curious, does anyone have any experience with Broadcom Chipset 4303 (rev 03) Wireless Adapters, such as Motorola WCP810G? I got up to the point it's recognizing, and I can't get it to scan at all, works fine in Winxp [04:41] Guest84523: upgrade. don;t ask random people on the Internet to send you binaries. [04:41] g0tcha: is your user privileged to administer the system? [04:41] Wonderfull [04:41] i cant upgrade i ill ask people what i wanna ask people [04:41] mneptok: as i thought, nothing hapaned [04:41] eitreach, yes, i used the sudo commands just couple of hours ago [04:41] Yekyaa[Ubuntu], you have to use the firmware from windows drivers and use the linux drivers [04:41] how do i create an img from a cd? [04:42] g0tcha: then it's over my head I'm affraid. [04:42] m11: are you stuck in a low resolution? [04:42] Flux: did that already, not sure where i screwed up, but i used bcm43-fwcutter to get it [04:42] mneptok: yes [04:42] m11: graphic chipset? [04:42] mneptok: Sis [04:42] Well lemme ask this then. Would I need to even bother with the smb.conf Or is the gui proerties/sharing menu supposed to work with no probs [04:42] milluminu, where is the script I can get it for you? [04:42] m11: does SiS provide open (or closed) X11 drivers? [04:42] mhm [04:43] I am on withg windows [04:43] Flux: got em all installed, followed 3 different guides, even blacklisted ndiswrapper, and that worked for all of 10 minutes, but network manager crashed/closed when i tried to connect to a local unsecured network [04:43] mneptok: was runing all ok on 1024x768 6 hours ago on 7.10 [04:43] image! [04:43] m11: sounds like you're in VESA mode because X11 can't find any better driver for your graphics [04:43] woah there [04:43] way to out her [04:43] THCLOKI, you must repent. [04:43] mneptok: VESA supports 1024x768 [04:43] Sry, i am german what means repent? [04:43] should you increase the screen size when running Ubuntu in Virtualbox? [04:43] anyone here got cod4 to run in wine? [04:43] biblical term: ask forgiveness [04:43] mneptok: i cant get higher then 960x600 [04:44] a lot of people ran cod4 in wine and crysis for that matter [04:44] Flux: any other suggestions? i got it to recognize it completely, it's just not connecting/scanning [04:44] m11 chose an other monirotsetting [04:44] m11, do "man sis", apparently there is a driver, but I don't know if your card is supported. [04:44] Guest10840, cod4 does not work in Wine. [04:44] i'm running Ubuntu through VMWare right now [04:44] vocx: it is no problem for driver, it is problem ubuntu not loading it [04:45] m11: sounds like a misisng or broken SiS driver [04:45] m11: get a real video chipset? :/ [04:45] well i'm trying to get cod4 to run in wine. installed and did nocd crack. when i run singleplayer i get a runtime error r6002 - floating point support not loaded. multiplayer just gives me a blank screen and messes up my resolution. [04:45] mneptok: just resolution fix problem [04:45] stickboy, cod4 does not work in wine, period. [04:45] m11: no, if the driver is broken, then you will not be able to use any higher resolutions [04:45] well, ill keep fighting with it. it should be an easy thing i guess. [04:45] stickboy, I will tripple check for you. [04:45] hi [04:45] mneptok: i doubt it is broken [04:46] xadzaz [04:46] ash-fox there's tutorials up for it and says it works just can't get on punkbuster servers for multi. [04:46] yeah [04:46] mneptok: rather would say ubuntu dindnt set it up properly [04:46] PM me-- I think I know what may have happened [04:46] 800x600 kinda small... [04:46] m11: there is a tool whre you can change you monitorsettings [04:46] How do i get Flash to work on Ubuntu? I have the 64bit version of Ubuntu(i think, if there is a way i can check tell me) [04:46] i do not know the name [04:47] THCLOKI: yes there might be if u have resolutions enabled [04:47] but i had the same problem [04:47] stickboy, I appologize, it's working now in appdb with wine 1.1.2 to 1.1.4 [04:47] question, if i clear my mbr will it be impossible to boot any of my partitions? [04:47] THCLOKI: if u dont have resolutions, u cant do SH#"$% [04:47] for example i have grub on a memory stick, could i still my partitions up if i clear my mbr? [04:47] ash-fox i'm on 1.1.4 but i can't get it to work. [04:47] stickboy, punkbuster is a seperate application to call of duty 4. Since it acts as a kernel driver, it probably wouldn't work, but let met check the application database. [04:47] for example i have grub on a memory stick, could i still my partitions up if i clear my mbr? [04:48] can anyone tell me how can avoid my archives from getting cleaned from the archives folder??? [04:48] gp|kfall, install ubuntu-restricted-extras that should get flash working [04:48] ash-fox yeah punkbuster doesn't work so can't get on servers that need it. [04:48] restricted drivers... [04:48] ash-fox right now i can't even get them to run for more than a few seconds. [04:48] cyban: i noticed you were trying to help me earlier along with FluxD do either of you have any other suggestions, or should i go in more detail on what steps i've taken? [04:48] stickboy, according to the application database, it doesn't work at all, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=3896 [04:48] Yekyaa[Ubuntu], I used ndiswrapper using this tut let me find it [04:48] i got a new dvd drive today and ubuntu isn't picking it up automatically. is there any way i can check if it's recognized by the computer e.g. in the bios before i assume that it's an ubuntu issue? [04:49] ash-fox well right now neither does singleplayer so something else is wrong [04:49] can anyone tell me how can avoid my archives from getting cleaned from the archives folder??? [04:49] stickboy, single player issue would be a seperate issue [04:49] FluxD: also, how would i uninstall the existing packages, or do i have to worry about them interfering/conflicting? [04:49] how do i install microsoft office 2007 on ubuntu? [04:49] can you set DNS with ifconfig [04:49] i need to set DNS in shell because the gui is not changing it and i have already done a down/up [04:49] Yekyaa[Ubuntu], yea remove them for now [04:49] ianq, type "dmesg" in the terminal or view the logs, the kernel should say something about it. [04:49] i am starting to be boring to myself, is there a way ubuntu can set resolution higher then 800x600 ? [04:49] uriel_, install crossover and install office 2007 through that [04:49] FluxD: what if I don't know what packages I installed ;; :( [04:49] vocx: one moment [04:50] uriel_, you can get crossover from www.codeweavers.com [04:50] m11: i got mine to work [04:50] ash-fox well i'd like to get either working but multi would be preferable. [04:50] can you DNS with ifconfig? [04:50] Yekyaa[Ubuntu], well then wait [04:50] FluxD: ok, waiting, and thank you ^^ [04:50] gp|kfall: yes , no problems with ati/nvidia/intell [04:50] can anyone tell me how can avoid my archives from getting cleaned from the archives folder??? [04:50] * enos just made a cdrom image using "dd" !!! [04:50] thank you ill downlaod it and ask u in a muinut if thats ok [04:50] Neat! [04:50] Yekyaa[Ubuntu], http://www.linuxscrew.com/2007/09/19/get-wi-fi-working-on-dell-inspiron-1501-with-ubuntu/ that shows a dell driver but get ur windows driver from broadcom [04:50] stickboy, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=12804 there are some instructions here that might be of use. [04:50] m11: none at all ... just did sudo apt-get update or w/e and that did it...i used the link i got from the nvidia website and it worked [04:51] m11: didnt even need envy [04:51] indian_munnda, you make no sense. What archives folder? Files aren't removed magically. [04:51] ash-fox i followed http://www.fsckin.com/2008/02/21/how-to-run-call-of-duty-4-cod4-modern-combat-in-linux/ but used a different crack. [04:51] gp|kfall: as i said , no problems with nvidia/ati/intell [04:51] FluxD: i actually got the driver from Motorola's website, but it's still the broadcom driver, same name [04:51] hey :) when I installed my ubuntu I didn't had the alternate CD to make an encrypted LVM fs, but now, I would like to at least encrypt my home. Do you have any hints? [04:51] FluxD: checking out the site [04:51] Yekyaa[Ubuntu], get it from broadcom, that worked for me 100% using my own compiled ndiswrapper [04:51] do i have to but it? [04:52] stickboy, I have the steam version, but I haven't tried with the recent wine releases. [04:52] FluxD: crap i have to compile my own ndiswrapper? lol ;; [04:52] Yekyaa[Ubuntu], yes sadly but its not that hard [04:52] uriel_, no, you can use the trial for 30 days or become a advocate to get a free copy. [04:52] Yekyaa[Ubuntu], the repo version is really outdated and doesnt work [04:52] vocx: when i install any package from synaptic its saves its archives in /var/cache/apt/archives but after some time these archives are removed automatically. [04:53] vocx: i wanna avoid that. [04:53] hi [04:53] Yekyaa[Ubuntu], I've heard that since there are many broadcom drivers, if you use ndiswrapper you may try several drivers, even if they have the same name. [04:53] hello, can anybody tell me a webcam softare for ubuntu 64 bits? [04:53] uriel_, I would suggest using the trial before taking a action like purchasing, to make sure everything works fine. [04:53] !webcam | pibe [04:53] pibe: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [04:53] why cant some one send me a java.so [04:53] pibe, kopete [04:53] pibe, also look at linuxappfinder.com [04:53] ash-fox i got steam to work but couldn't get fonts and hud display to work for tf2 [04:53] FluxD: thanks for the tip, now i just need to figure out how to make stuff on my machine, reading that faq [04:54] Guest10840, for what version? [04:54] vocx: uhm, how do i route dmesg output into a file? [04:54] stickboy, it might be easier for you to use crossover games... [04:54] ok but is there a way to run it through wine? [04:54] vocx: does that mean i can try different drivers without conflicts? or is what you're saying a bad thing? [04:54] indian_munnda, well, yes, they are "cache", variable information that can be deleted whenever necessary to free space. You can move whatever you like to a permanent directory you know. [04:54] stickboy, really, you should follow the instructions for most things on the wine application database [04:54] ash-fox how? i might set up a vm actually. [04:54] Ash-Fox: thanks kopete, i see my webcam works :D [04:54] Guest84523: It would have to be built with the same version of gcc as the libraries installed on your PC. [04:55] stickboy, vms like qemu, vmware lack proper 3d acceleration to play games. [04:55] vocx: ok thanks dude [04:55] hi, anyone knows how I can unmask a package? I'd like to install the nvidia-drivers-177.67 package which apparently is still masked per beta [04:55] ash-fox virtualbox won't work? [04:55] stickboy, I doubt it. === xtwo is now known as x2 [04:55] ianq, you can use "dmesg | less" or "dmesg > file" you don't have to view this in the terminal, in the menus System > Administration you can also find the logs [04:56] Hello. [04:56] rsync slows down my machine even when run nice.. how can i stop it clogging IO ? [04:56] any1 know how to install microsoft office through WINE? [04:56] help: i'm haveing trouble with the wifi built in to my laptop, its a dell inspiron 1501/amd Wubi install, i've tried ndiswrapper, and others, but i cannot connect, or detect any wifi networks in range [04:56] qemu has just begun adding opengl/sdl patches === Kleedrac_ is now known as Kleedrac [04:57] Yekyaa[Ubuntu], well yes, you can try different drivers through ndiswrapper, not at the same time, but you know, test one, doesn't work, unload ndiswrapper and try the next one. [04:57] Trying to play games is hard in Ubuntu Studio... Also seems like there is zero activity in the Channel so I'm just going to have to ask here. I am getting no sound at all. I switched my sounds over to ALSA Going to [System -> Preferences -> Sound] and still no joy. I know The ZSNES Emulator Pumps out sound under Linux, Heck even in Ubuntu, but what the heck going on with ubuntu studio making most of my game sounds not work?... === x2 is now known as xtwochu [04:57] hi, anyone knows how I can unmask a package? I'd like to install the nvidia-drivers-177.67 package which apparently is still masked per beta [04:58] how can i edit the bios options from ubuntu so it chooses to boot directly from hard drive everytime when i press f12 it asks from which device i want to boot from but what i want is to jump to grub right from start off [04:58] I'm officially stumped ... got Ubuntu installed on a friend's computer ... grub was working fine ... he took the computer home and now he can boot to ubuntu but not to windows?! [04:58] /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER xtwochu nvuizbbjjufu [04:58] vocx: http://pastebin.com/d4f9ab69f [04:59] isabel__, bios options are specific to every computer, check the internet or your computer's manual [05:00] vocx, but isnt there a way i can edit the bios from ubuntu maybe from the terminal? [05:00] i installed an stripped down version of ubuntu, right now i'm installing kubuntu [05:00] isabel__, are you unable to access the bios on the computer directly? [05:00] i can't do a clean install [05:01] isabel__: no, you have to do that during start-up before the BIOS initialises the system. Usually you press F2 or Del to get to the menu, where you can find boot device options [05:01] hi, anyone knows how I can unmask a package? I'd like to install the nvidia-drivers-177.67 package which apparently is still masked per beta [05:01] isabel__, nope, BIOS is the very basic operating system your computer needs to boot, you can edit the BIOS even if you don't have other Operating system [05:01] when the computer boots up it shows a screen that says toshiba and press f12 to go to bios, there i can choose to boot from the hard drive and the grub starts === chattan is now known as yaoms [05:02] the boot up screen only offers f12 and i think f6 did the same thing as f12 but otherwise how do i get to the bios configuration [05:02] who is known how to write makefile?a very easy problem .And my english is very pool [05:02] isabel__, usually is by presing Del or maybe Esc === yaoms is now known as oneIeaf [05:02] isabel__: it sounds as if you need to press some other key (try F2 or Del) immediately the PC starts before you see the F12 prompt. If someone has a Toshiba maybe they can be more help. [05:02] isabel__, or F2 [05:02] F2 is bios [05:03] ok once i do that what do i have to do? [05:03] wo can help me [05:03] toshiba makes computers? [05:03] lol [05:03] isabel__: read [05:03] alter the boot up order so it boots? [05:03] isabel__ 2 HDs? [05:03] i remember those days [05:03] for some reason grub always thinks it's on hd0 [05:03] even if it's on hd1 [05:03] mytears, if you are trying to use makefiles but you don't know how to write them you are doing something wrong, what do you want to install? [05:03] i dont want to make ubuntu unaccesible badfish [05:03] isabel__: if that works, find the boot device options, change the boot order so it is CD then hard-disk, then find the 'save and exit' option and save [05:04] looking forward to grub2 being completed [05:04] are there any ubuntu experts here ? [05:04] isabel__: i never made ubuntu unaccesible [05:04] IntuitiveNipple, i think it's already set to cd, i want to do set it to hard disk first [05:04] whats wrong with resolution setup on ubuntu 8.04 ? [05:04] isabel__: i never touched linux in my life, and neither vista nor ubuntu was unaccessable [05:04] i have followed each and every guide to get 1024x768 and i have no succses [05:04] hi, anyone knows how I can unmask a package? I'd like to install the nvidia-drivers-177.67 package which apparently is still masked per beta [05:05] mytears, you don't need a big makefile to use gcc, what do you want to compile? [05:05] isabel__: are you using livecd now? [05:05] vocx: i didn't see anything wrong in dmesg [05:05] FluxD: That ndiswrapper link is from 1 year ago (2007), what's the latest version of ndiswrapper? I'm assuming it isn't 1.47 [05:06] badfish, nope, its already installed but after installation it looked like it was expecting a cd because if i dont go tot he prompt and ask for it to boot from hard disk it says something along the lines of incorrect system disk insert disk and press any key to continue [05:06] help, i'm haveing trouble with my built in wifi card on my laptop, ive already tried ndiswrapper, but it doesn't work. [05:06] ianq, what is this thing? I forgot, a DVD drive? [05:06] i am strugling for 8 hours now to get resolution more then 800x600 in ubuntu 8.04, this seems like imposible task [05:06] isabel__: It is usual to allow CD first so if needed the system can boot from one if the hard disk won't boot for any reason. As long as no bootable CD is in the drive when the PC starts it will be ignored and the PC will boot from hard disk [05:06] vocx: yes sir [05:06] isabel__: it definitely does not say "error 17: cannot mount selected partition," correct? [05:07] isabel__: That error you mentioned sounds like Windows :) [05:07] isabel__: do you have a flash usb drive plugged in when you boot? [05:07] mytears, there is a make manual you can install "sudo aptitude install make-doc" read that [05:07] IntuitiveNipple, what does it look like it's set up to do then? it definetly isn't just moving on to hard drive but asks for a disk to be inserted and i did that for a moment to see if the livecd would work but even when i did that it still prompted me to insert disk and press any key [05:07] isabel__: Is Windows also installed on that PC? [05:07] windows don't mean shit if grub is booting first [05:08] i mean [05:08] badfish, nope it doesnt say that, and no i dont have a flash driver plugged in when i boot up [05:08] windows don't mean crap [05:08] language, timothy! [05:08] help, i'm haveing trouble with my built in wifi card on my laptop, ive already tried ndiswrapper, but it doesn't work [05:08] do you have 2 separate hdd's? [05:08] i'm retrying ndiswrapper myself, johnwedd ;; [05:08] what's the latest version of ndiswrapper, anyone know? [05:08] windows xp was at one point also isntalled on the computer and it wouldn't let the ubuntu partitioner format the cd [05:08] isabel__: is ubuntu on a separate hard drive disk? [05:08] johnwedd: the only choice you got if ndiswrapper doesn't work is to find a native or get a different card [05:09] mytears, post it in a pastebin [05:09] i had to use gparted and then [05:09] oh man [05:09] install it [05:09] it wouldn't let ubuntu format what cd? [05:09] hi, anyone knows how I can unmask a package? I'd like to install the nvidia-drivers-177.67 package which apparently is still masked per beta [05:09] badfish, nope [05:09] i have an old belkin usb wifi card, think that work? [05:09] how did you partition your hard drive? [05:09] Yekyaa[Ubuntu], yea use latest version [05:09] no idea [05:09] when i used the livecd it wouldnt' let the ubuntu partitioner [05:09] use the whole disk [05:09] so it wouldnt install [05:09] ianq, how many hard drives or DVD drives do you have? [05:09] isabel__: so you haven't installed ubuntu yet? [05:09] it wouldnt erase the windows partition [05:10] Yekyaa[Ubuntu]: 1.53 afaik [05:10] how do i run. install Microsoft Office 2007 with wine? [05:10] yes,n i had to use gparted [05:10] johnwedd: i have no idea but you can always try it [05:10] deleted some partitions [05:10] I created a user, now i can't get rid of it.. [05:10] i don't know anything about gparted [05:10] vocx: one hard drive, one dvd drive [05:10] except a small one that it wouldn't let me delete [05:10] vocx: and one floppy drive ;) [05:10] so you formatted the entire xp hard drive? [05:10] and then i was able to install ubuntu from the livecd [05:10] ianq, FluxD tried getting latest version from sourceforge but i'm getting a 404 any suggestions? [05:10] :facehands: [05:10] mn_: i'll do that later, rebooting between the two systems is annoying [05:10] how can i get rid of the user i created [05:11] isabel: native language? [05:11] isabel__: native language? [05:11] how do you mean? [05:11] johnwedd: yep, I used to have to do that until i got wifi to work in my linux [05:11] isabel__: what language did you learn first in your lifetime? [05:11] ianq, but how are they connected, SATA or PATA, the dmesg say ata2 is disabled, maybe disabled from BIOS, but you checked that right? [05:11] what do you mean by that? what's my computer's "native language· or what is mine [05:11] oh [05:11] spanish [05:11] !spanish [05:11] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[05:12] but i have an english installation of ubuntu [05:12] Never mind, found it :) [05:12] !spanish > isabel__ [05:12] isabel__, please see my private message [05:12] and well...it's too awkward to refer to things [05:12] vocx: assume i don't know anything about hardware [05:12] ubuntu in spanish [05:12] /bin/sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `done' [05:12] /bin/sh: -c: line 0: `while true; so echo "Hello"; sleep 120; done' [05:12] mn_: does ubuntu autodetect these things? [05:12] arghghh [05:12] i speak a little spanish [05:12] and a little spanglish [05:12] no no, it slows information exchange by at least thirty percent [05:12] sorry about that. I didn't mean to paste [05:12] spanglish [05:12] teach me some new words [05:12] johnwedd: autodetect what? USB devices? [05:12] isabel__: Does the PC boot Ubuntu if you do the F12 device selection manually? [05:13] um....bad [05:13] mn_: yes [05:13] f12? [05:13] f2? [05:13] <_PeteParker_> does someone has a RicoH sd cardreader working? [05:13] negative pete [05:13] johnwedd: yes, it autodetects my USB flash drive [05:13] IntuitiveNipple, yes but i dont want to have to do that everytime [05:13] there's the guy [05:14] isabel__: ok, I was just making sure you have a working system of some kind! [05:14] IntuitiveNipple, i don't want to have to press f12 everytime [05:14] <_PeteParker_> that really sucks, i have tu use a usb card reader :( [05:14] lmao [05:14] ok [05:14] <_PeteParker_> thanks anyway [05:14] <_PeteParker_> :) [05:14] _PeteParker_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:14] _PeteParker: keep asking [05:14] _PeteParker_: keep asking [05:14] <_PeteParker_> what? [05:14] _PeteParker_: or check the forum [05:15] _PeteParker_: once in a while someone comes along who knows [05:15] <_PeteParker_> am i flooding? [05:15] <_PeteParker_> that's strange [05:15] ianq, mmm... open your PC case, and check the cables, also reading the Wikipedia entries on SATA and EIDE should help [05:15] _PeteParker_: it's a bot [05:15] vocx: i checked the cables twice already [05:15] _PeteParker_: just don't get stupid and it doesn't matter [05:15] <_PeteParker_> oh, i have i little other problem here, if you could help me [05:15] vocx: let me read those articles [05:15] _PeteParker_: either someone here or in the forum will make it work [05:15] I'm trying to install compiz-fusion with a nvidia GeForce 6200, which X server do I need to install? [05:16] _PeteParker_: i don't knwo about yoru flash card reader [05:16] vocx: i can't seem to find anything in the bios pertaining to the issue [05:16] woot, making ndiswrapper 1.53 yay! [05:16] <_PeteParker_> every time i reboot my laptop it stucks in the post [05:16] _PeteParker_: http://www.arsgeek.com/2007/04/30/get-your-ricoh-sd-card-reader-working-in-ubuntu/ [05:16] <_PeteParker_> checking for the hard drive [05:16] !forum > _PeteParker_ [05:16] _PeteParker_, please see my private message [05:16] ianq, but besides that, when you start your computer get into the BIOS and check that both drives or devices in each connector are enabled. [05:16] nvidia-glx-new gives me a white screen when running compiz [05:16] <_PeteParker_> i've read something about the acpi [05:16] <_PeteParker_> there is a way to solve this [05:16] <_PeteParker_> ? [05:16] i thought acpi was windows [05:16] !enter | _PeteParker_ [05:16] _PeteParker_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:17] <_PeteParker_> i don't know the exact name, maybe it's APIC, now i'm confused hieueahieuhaeui [05:17] _PeteParker_: ur outta my leage [05:17] _PeteParker_: try the forum [05:17] isabel__: I suspect you might need to use grub-install with suitable options - it sounds as if the BIOS isn't finding the master boot record boot signature. I could be wrong because your situation is vague, but it would explain why you get the BIOS device prompt each time. [05:18] _PeteParker_: otherwise, repeat your query here and someone will get to you as soon as they have an idea what you're talkin about [05:18] vocx: i've got under devices: serial port setup, usb setup, parallel port setup, video setup, IDE drives setup, audio and network [05:18] can someone help me with this fglrxinfo? I don't know what this means. [05:18] <_PeteParker_> badfish thanks for the link, i've tried that already :) [05:18] _PeteParker_: i just picked up ubuntu yesterday [05:18] IntuitiveNipple, how do i do that? [05:18] isabel__: Before messing with GrUB I'd try what we suggested earlier. As the PC starts try pressing Del or F2 to get into the BIOS settings menu and set the boot order options [05:18] _PeteParker_: all i'm tryin to do is my part [05:18] hello again, fat32 dn vfat are the sane file sistem? is there any difference? [05:18] and* [05:18] <_PeteParker_> badfish ok, don't worry, thanks a lot for your attention :) [05:18] to what order though IntuitiveNipple? [05:18] isabel__: The key has to be pressed very early - before the F12 prompt appears [05:18] _PeteParker_: if you have a brother printer/scanner, i can help you with that [05:19] _PeteParker_: good luck [05:19] anyone knows how to setup resolution for ubuntu ? [05:19] fat32 and vfat are the same file sistem? is there any difference?* [05:19] <_PeteParker_> badfish have you switched from windows? [05:19] mytears, that post has incorrect indentation, you realize that? [05:19] _PeteParker_: vista [05:19] <_PeteParker_> uh... heavy [05:19] pibe86: yes - linux calls fat vfat [05:19] _PeteParker_: i'm running dual boot with a preference for ubuntu [05:19] isabel__: As I said before, CD then hard-disk. If the PC has a floppy fdisk you might make it floppy, CD, hard-disk [05:19] _PeteParker_: Are you talking about passing 'noapic' and 'nolapic' at boot? [05:19] favro: so vfat is in linux and fat32 in win2? [05:19] flash before floppy [05:20] <_PeteParker_> badfish, greate, thats good to start, i switched from windows 1 year ago [05:20] can anyone help me set resolution 1024x768 in ubuntu ? [05:20] IntuitiveNipple, floppy fdisk? [05:20] m11; what is the video card? [05:20] pibe86: if linux finds a fat32 partition it calls it vfat [05:20] FAJALOU: it says SIS Real 256e [05:20] isabel__: yes, if the PC has one... the devices are ignored unless they have media in them when the PC starts [05:20] <_PeteParker_> FelixTheCat: actually i don't know the problem, i've read that it is something with the APIC table on my laptop, it stucks every time I reboot in the post trying to find my hard drive [05:21] what i did was make a 1GB ext3 partition in my first drive, and installed grub over the MBR [05:21] favro: ok thanks, because i have a patition and i formated with mkfs.vfat /dev/sda5 [05:21] _PeteParker_: Have you already tried passing at least 'noapic' at boot time? [05:21] hi how can i find out what my network key is? [05:21] ...works great for dual boot [05:21] IntuitiveNipple, floppy =normal common floppy? [05:21] that to share files with my bro [05:21] <_PeteParker_> FelixTheCat, yep, same problem [05:21] isabel__: yes [05:21] mytears, I know, I mean the makefile... you could build that with "gcc -o printf main.c hello.c" now just compile the object files before the executable [05:21] pibe86: i've used fat32; never used vfat [05:21] _PeteParker_: How about 'nolapic'? [05:22] pibe86: windows should see that as fat32 [05:22] badfish: they are almost exactly the same [05:22] <_PeteParker_> FelixTheCat, yes, same thing [05:22] !nvidia [05:22] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [05:22] I just installed the latest version of ubuntu on a second partition on my laptop, so I can dual boot it with windows xp, but I get error 18 when I turn on the pc [05:23] Macrosoft: almost is ~; equal is = [05:23] _PeteParker_: Can I be clear? The hang is during POST after a reboot, so the problem seems to be a result of an unclean device/controller shutdown by the driver [05:23] I've been researching this problem and trying to fix it for about 2 hours and found that my bios doesn't support the hard drive (160 gb) [05:23] _PeteParker_: One other thing to try, 'pci=assign-busses'. That's a stab in the dark, though. That worked for me when trying to get a PC card working. [05:23] Macrosoft: linux =/= horseshoes [05:23] !permissions [05:23] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [05:23] vocx: looks like the dvd drive doesn't show up in the bios [05:23] Macrosoft: not calling you out, just trying to learn linux and filesystems etc [05:24] I just wanted to know if there was some way to get the mbr or whatever to work properly without having to destroy my windows partition [05:24] Hello, I am trying building a ramdisk file system with busybox. but i want to include nano insted of vi .... is it possable to automaticly copy the libs needed to a folder ?? [05:24] ianq, seems a job for the lawyers, sue the store [05:24] hi how can i find out what my network key is? [05:25] <_PeteParker_> IntuitiveNipple: i thinking that this is the problem, but i'm not sure, because it is just when i reboot [05:25] what's the difference between fat32 and vfat? google isn't cooperating [05:25] vcox: hmmm, the drive DOES have power though [05:25] <_PeteParker_> FelixTheCat: thanks the advice, i haven't tried that yet [05:26] mytears, http://paste.ubuntu.com/48477/ [05:26] vcox: it opens and closes just fine, but i guess the power cord is separate from the uhm, motherboard<----> drive connection? [05:26] <_PeteParker_> badfish: i think that there is no difference, vfat is a generic for fat file systems [05:26] ianq, yep, have you tested the drive in another computer, whether windows or linux? [05:27] vocx: i don't have another one, so no [05:27] hi i have a d-link network card i am trying to run from ubuntu, and it isn't accepting my network key?? [05:27] <_PeteParker_> badfish: the fatsize is set when you create the filesystem, but for linux it's all the same think [05:27] ok, wish me luck everyone, i have to shutdown the main system and reboot ubuntu the old-fashioned way ;; [05:28] _PeteParker_: I'd suggest posting to the Hardware & Laptops forum with the output of lspci -nn and a copy of /var/log/dmesg - let people look at the configuration and think about it [05:28] _PeteParker_: Does this page help any? - http://hack.mypclinuxos.com/index.php?topic=400.0 [05:28] <_PeteParker_> badfish: are you trying to create a fs? [05:28] god [05:28] linux is so complicated [05:28] ianq, get somebody to test it before calling the store. Also, one trick you could try is to reset the BIOS memory to factory default. It would wipe the clock, but it may try to autodetect every hardware again. [05:28] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vfat#FAT32_.28VFAT.29 [05:28] seems like wiki says fat32==vfat [05:28] one and the same? [05:28] It's a secret to everybody.

[05:28] <_PeteParker_> FelixTheCat: let me check it [05:29] yes [05:29] fat32=vfat [05:29] i think vfat also supports/reads-writes fat16 [05:29] must be russian for fat32 [05:29] wait no, there is a seperate kernel module for that [05:29] badfish: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:30] Flannel: thanks [05:31] Any ideas about how to access samba mounts from command line i.e. [05:31] vipaca: yes, i do [05:31] vipaca: you could use smbmount... eg. smbmount ///Share [05:32] vipaca: and ofcourse you need to append a mount point [05:32] vipaca: or the other alternative is to use smbclient [05:32] When ever I type my mouse wheel scrolls, so if I'm on a web page, it will scroll to the top. I have tried it will two different mice. [05:32] jong: I would like to mount to the file system [05:33] jong: So that I can switch as usual [05:33] huyz...

[05:35] pibe86: if you go into stanby or suspend, donwloads and all other activity will stop [05:35] almostdvs: sounds familiar, neither do I :) [05:35] myles7897: if you haven't done anything special for the vid card then in terminal sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [05:35] pibe86: it is okay to lock the screen though [05:36] jong: vipaca may have to use cifs instead. 'mount -t cifs //remotecomputer/share /mnt/point' [05:36] almostdvs: Is some other application using sound at the same time? [05:36] favro, is that it? cause its not fixed. :) [05:37] FelixTheCat: true, that's the new FS [05:37] myles7897, I'll post new code wait a second [05:37] way OT: for a us citizen to travel abroad, what documentation do i need?

[05:37] Macrosoft: so i am going to leave for an hour so is locking the screen the best way to make uodates while i am away?

[05:39] jong: Can be, but it's beautiful when it is set up.

Aka it would input alt+tab and act as if that key combo was held untill there was a click. Anyone got any clues how i might go about this? I am a linux noob :P [05:42] A little side-relief after several hours support is perfectly acceptable [05:42] myles7897: http://paste.ubuntu.com/48484/ [05:42] you know what I don't understand about linux: the fact that every config file has a different format, every program has different input, output and format of commandline options, for everything you want to do there are about 5 options, each of them doing sth right and sth wrong and the whole thing is written in about a dozen different languages, most of which are not very flexible nor abstractable... what happened with the UNIX philosophy 'Keep it [05:43] jong: yeah; we should just adopt lisp sexps for everything [05:43] how can i figure out what my encryption is on my wifi network from ubuntu?

[05:45] vipaca: You can also add 'domain=domain' on the end of the options if the share requires you to have it. [05:45] FAJALOU1: why [05:45] FAJALOU: usually, network-manager applet will prompt with the type of encryption in use [05:45] FelixTheCat I was definatley not expecting the comma [05:45] FAJALOU1:normaly, there is a readonly web interface to the router... [05:45] the problem i am having is that on one computer it is working fine, but when i go to a different ubuntu computer the encryption isn't working. [05:46] so i am looking for the pw to get onto it primarily... [05:46] FAJALOU: does the Wifi device driver support the type of encryption? [05:46] vipaca: Necessary to separate the options. Just be sure there is no space after the comma(s) [05:46] and i have it in front of me, but when i plug it in it doesn't work. [05:46] FAJALOU1:so a network config problem? [05:46] ndiswrapper. [05:46] ok, so it didn't work ;; [05:46] P041NX: i am connected on one computer, not on another... [05:46] FAJALOU: on the connected PC, you can find out using "iwconfig" [05:46] afk to smoke, then we'll talk more :) [05:46] vipaca: the -o... starts the option line, everything after that needs to fit in one non-spaced 'word' [05:46] FelixTheCat: Is it using any security when sending the pass? [05:47] vipaca: Very good question - I don't personally don't know. Let me find out... [05:47] IntuitiveNipple: in iwconfig i just see mode:managed nothing about the actual encryption [05:47] FAJALOU1: router isn't blocking in pi based, right? [05:47] Im in!

[05:50] gratz on gettin in [05:50] arang: odd, do you have it mounted somewhere? [05:50] Whoops. [05:50] thanks :D it took me a long time, I am looking forward to starting my course at last :) [05:51] FAJALOU: what version of ubuntu are you using on the 'good' PC? [05:51] jong: no it's part of the / filesystem a plain vanilla ext3 [05:51] i just started...anatomy is hard :P [05:51] I'm trying to figure out how to pull a wallpaper from a PSP theme on Linux, anyone know how? [05:51] 8.04 [05:51] .1 [05:51] Debolaz: Is that any different than using 'mount -o loop /path/file.iso /mnt/point'? [05:51] ciarandoherty: That's gonna be a tough few years! [05:51] This is a general linux question and not specifically to ubuntu. How can I open a firefox with a user on a different install on my same machine? I would like to get to my photo bucket site but I have a different email than I had when I signed up and a different install of ubuntu. I know I could just boot back into that install of ubuntu but that's last resort. :) [05:51] I just installed the latest version of ubuntu on a second partition on my laptop, so I can dual boot it with windows xp, but I get error 18 when I turn on the pc [05:51] haha yeah, but I'm gonna work my ass off [05:51] I've been researching this problem and trying to fix it for about 2 hours and found that my bios doesn't support the hard drive (160 gb) [05:51] arang: odd, wish I could help you [05:51] I just wanted to know if there was some way to get the mbr or whatever to work properly without having to destroy my windows partition [05:51] ciarandoherty: don't wear it out :D [05:52] vgambit: there is a think called super grub disk [05:52] FelixTheCat: Most notably that it doesn't have to be an .iso :) [05:52] it can restore your mbf [05:52] *mbr [05:52] atomic_:firefox -P "" & [05:52] mytears, http://paste.ubuntu.com/48489/ [05:52] P041NX: Thanks [05:52] how did you guys find your first week in dirms? [05:52] ok [05:52] dorms* [05:52] FAJALOU: run up gconf-editor [05:52] myles7897, read the stickies in here http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=39 [05:52] Debolaz: Interesting. [05:52] jong: thanks jong but i dont know where to check that , updatedb.conf have prunepath and other stuff inside i dunno what to do and i cant find info online [05:52] FelixTheCat: And since it appears like a real cd device, applications like wine will pick it up automatically. [05:52] do i have a conflict or something? when i use ndiswrapper is the bcm43 or w/e supposed to show up in the "Hardware Drivers" menu? [05:53] FAJALOU: navigate to /system/networking/connections/ and check the network has an entry there [05:53] and, it's a 4306 chipset apparently [05:53] arang: well, until you find the solution: man 1 find :) [05:53] can anyone help me figure out how to make a shortcut or something that will allow me to input a keyboard combo via an icon/button? [05:53] jong: i'm sorry i didnt understand [05:53] mytears, ^^ [05:53] FAJALOU1: then, if you have it, Applications > Accessories > Passwords and Encryption Keys [05:53] IntuitiveNipple: yes there are connections; i can connect to an unsecured connection in my city, but i can't get on it... [05:54] arang: read the manual page for 'find' "man 1 find" as a command [05:54] FAJALOU1: and go to the Passwords tab and look for the network entry [05:54] Orian1701: Try the program keytouch [05:54] jong: oh [05:54] atomic_:you'll also need to /home/${user}/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini if you are joining tow or more fromile from difffrent machine. [05:54] FelixTheCat: The command line interface is also a lot simpler, though it has a neat graphical applet that will let you pretty much just click and select a file from the standard gnome file selection dialogue. [05:54] oo ok atomic :D [05:54] FAJALOU1 I'll try it but I'm not sure it will work [05:54] ill check it out [05:54] like I said, the bios doesn't support the size hard drive I'm using [05:54] Does anyone have any idea why I keep getting a wrong architecture error message when I am installing with .deb packages? I have a 32 bit machine and so far everything I have read on the problem is relating to 64 bit machines [05:55] FAJALOU1: You can select a "Network secret for..." and then choose to view the password stored [05:55] as far as I know, the MBR is fine already [05:55] IntuitiveNipple: it's even longer than the one that i originally got from iwconfig? [05:55] jong: i need that locate work because i have a few scripts that needs it [05:55] FluxD: you here still? [05:55] Is there anyone who can help me get my Soundblaster X-fi Platinum card working under a fresh install of Hardy 8.04? [05:55] hey room [05:55] IntuitiveNipple: you lost me. [05:55] mytears, ya, I just used a different name, he he. [05:55] any developers here [05:55] ugh i ahte this [05:56] Orian1701: Keytouch might not be what you're looking for. I thought you mean a key combination to one key. === sourcode is now known as sourcode[0] [05:56] i need to set up KDE to use pulseaudio hurhur [05:56] atomic_: that doesn't seem to be what i want. I want to make like a shortcut to a key combo that i can click on [05:56] FAJALOU1: That's where the keys are stored. If you're expecting a passphrase/password you'll need to run that key through a reverse algorithm - maybe find one via Google [05:56] Orian1701: Yeah, I read what you wrote again and it didn't seem to be what you wanted. Sorry. [05:57] Printer not working. It was working on my dad's Hardy install, Wont work on my Hardy. HP Deskjet 970Cxi Professional Series. Whats up with this [05:57] atomic_: np, I want it so i can exicute alt+tab switcher from my screen (i have a tablet) [05:57] mytears, nope. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jam [05:57] FAJALOU1: If you don't see the "Passwords and Encryption Keys" on the Accessories menu, install seahorse [05:57] what is the deskjet lp or usb [05:57] Debolaz: I use the command line a lot at work to copy data from .iso files, but I don't have any other more advanced needs than that. Cool beans! [05:57] help with user settings.... [05:57] usb [05:58] KidJoe1665: Did you use CUPS to add it? [05:58] i installed a new user and now i cannot change anything [05:58] IntuitiveNipple: i looked in seahorse; and it gave me a really long thing [05:58] i cannot delete the new one either [05:58] Trying... [05:58] k [05:58] how do i go back to being the only user with access [05:58] btw, how do i change the quit message to accept /quit "whatever i type here" ? for x-chat [05:58] KidJoe: http://localhost:631/ [05:58] does lsusb give you anything? [05:58] HI, my laptop was dual boot, Due to virus, i deleted my 2 ntfs drives, no my system is not able to boot, When i am trying to boot form xp CD, so the screen remain black/blank. What to do. my linux is safe, i dont want to format that. [05:58] does it know it's there [05:58] FAJALOU1: yes, that's the key... you can use that on the other PC [05:59] really? wow ok... [05:59] plus i am the administrator... what are they talking about contact admin for authentication...?? [05:59] could someone help me with browsing a windows network? [05:59] FAJALOU1: but, if you want the (English) passphrase that was used to generate that key, you'd need to find a reverse-algorithm to calculate it [05:59] singleman6221984: I'll BRB and tell you... [05:59] akk IntuitiveNipple do i have to add 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper' to my rc.local to get it to start on startup [05:59] /msg ubottu etiquette [05:59] FAJALOU1: I'm not sure, I don't use ndiswrapper. I would have thought if the package is installed it would configure that for itself [05:59] anybody knows how to run a certain command upon wakeup from sleep mode, i need to rmmod/modprobe iwl3945 each time computer wakes up [06:00] usser: Yes, are you using Hardy? [06:00] How to delete a user?? anyone know ?? [06:00] i still don't think it doess... [06:00] anyone..? [06:00] HI, my laptop was dual boot, Due to virus, i deleted my 2 ntfs drives, no my system is not able to boot, When i am trying to boot form xp CD, so the screen remain black/blank. What to do. my linux is safe, i dont want to format that. [06:00] rc.local is in etc/rc? [06:00] IntuitiveNipple, yes [06:01] FAJALOU1, I tried to fix the boot of GNU/Linux and got SGD has not succeeded [06:01] Daps: man deluser [06:01] sarthor_, reinstall grub so you can boot to Linux.Use supergrub disk [06:01] gonna try again for windows now [06:01] no thats fine thanks for the tips [06:01] On my ubuntu 8.04 install something keeps opening new firefox windows every few minutes or so. is there a log I can look at to see what's triggering firefox to open? [06:01] ok so i upgraded to 8.10 through update-manager -d now i have no sound it said to type asoundconf set-default-card into term but i get error You have omitted a necessary parameter. Please see the output from `asoundconf list`, and use one of those sound card(s) as the parameter. [06:01] anu ideas [06:01] usser: create the file /etc/pm/config.d/modules_unloads with SUSPEND_MODULES="iwl3945" [06:01] vocx, if i install grup, then how to install xp? i think XP cant see linux partition [06:01] vgambit: then you could try reinstalling GRUB; found on the last step of ubuntu setup under advanced. [06:01] IntuitiveNipple, that unloads the module on suspend? [06:02] IntuitiveNipple: which key is the correct one to use; the one from seahorse or from iwconfig? [06:02] usser: yes and reloads it on resume [06:02] Ill try my question again :D. Does anyone know of a way to make an icon/shortcut that would let me execute a keyboard combo by clicking? (im trying to access alt tab functionality and i have a tablet) [06:02] thanks [06:02] FAJALOU1: Are they different? [06:02] thunderbird-gnome-support seems to not work at all. I have a samba share mounted by clicking "Places" then "connect to server", when I run a new instance of Thunderbird then start a new message and click "attach" to attach a file, the samba share doesn't appear like it does with other GTK+ apps. Any one know how to fix this? [06:02] FAJALOU1, I tried restoring for windows, but it could only find the linux installation [06:02] yes; very' [06:02] turtles1: normaly, pstree [06:02] IntuitiveNipple, really, i'll give it a shot? [06:02] IntuitiveNipple, err ?=! [06:03] turtles1: pstree |grep firefox [06:03] FAJALOU1: oh yeah, they are different here too. I'd use the one from seahorse since network-manager shows that one in the prompt box if the "show password" checkbox is ticked [06:03] sarthor_, just install grub to make sure you can get access to linux in case you want to backup your files, since ultimately formating maybe the only solution. But before that, you mean the Win XP CD doesn't boot? It says "press any key to boot from the CD". [06:03] vgambit: go into your live cd, mount your linux installation and then type in 'sudo touch /forcefsck [06:03] P041NX: thanks, I'll take a look [06:03] usser: You might want to include "uvcvideo" in that list since it is known to be broken [06:04] ok [06:04] vocx, any suggestions on my wireless card situation? i tried ndiswrapper with the latest drivers from broadcom, and when i do iwlist scanning, i get wlan0 "No scan results." [06:04] turtles1: the PPID of filrefow will show what has called it. a "ps -AF" will show all process, including the one with the pid that has called firefox [06:04] in winxp, i can get about 6 different wireless networks in the area [06:05] Yekyaa[Ubuntu], did every step? "iwconfig" [06:05] Yekyaa[Ubuntu], yea [06:05] yar, iwconfig, it's there [06:05] wb, fluxd [06:05] it sees the card [06:05] hi guys [06:05] here's my problem, i think. Hardware Drivers show bc43 or bcm43 as "In use" and Hardware Present === Winston_SmithVT is now known as Winston_Smith [06:05] does ndiswrapper put that there? [06:05] or do i have a conflicting driver or something? [06:06] Orian1701, xsend, xautomation, xmacro? [06:06] FAJALOU1, I'm starting up ubuntu live now, but I just tried booting into the installed linux using super grub disc and that didn't work [06:06] it did let me boot into windows, though [06:06] Yekyaa[Ubuntu], well, not always the latest drivers work, that's why I told you to try several. You should "rmmod bcm43" before using ndiswrapper, otherwise they conflict, check with "lsmod" [06:06] NEED HELP WITH BROWSING A WINDOWS NETWORK...samba not the issue. Someone help me!!!! [06:06] Please [06:06] how do i log in as root .??? [06:06] how to show ''downloaded' tab in ktorrent? [06:06] Yekyaa[Ubuntu], you are supposed to blacklist the other drivers so no that shouldnt be there [06:06] !CAPS | PhiAlpha [06:06] vgambit: sounds like your linux part is corrupted [06:06] PhiAlpha: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [06:06] venger: i donno :D im asking u? :P Let me browse those suggestions [06:07] Daps, you can't, use sudo to execute commands as root [06:07] so, i should go back in and disable it's use then and from there, what do i do? [06:07] ok [06:07] IntuitiveNipple: it still connects to the cities wifi (which isn't working for me, different story/ different time) and won't connect to my wifi [06:07] thanks [06:07] PhiAlpha: and you'll need to supply bit more infotoo... === Winston_Smith is now known as Winston_SmithVT [06:07] also, for some reason, "Enable wireless" has only been open to me once [06:07] FAJALOU1, hm. I dunno how that happened, considering all I did was install it [06:07] Daps, also, if you wish to use graphical applications as root, use gksudo [06:08] it says i am not the sudoer file... what?? [06:08] mytears, good luck [06:08] and when i do iwlist wlan0 scanning or iwlist wlan0 scan, wlan0 gets no Scan results, but WinXP can pull 6 wireless networks in the area usually, medium to low connection, but still [06:08] hey guys i am trying to mount a ntfs partition in ubuntu 8.04 and i get error that say Operation not supported Mount because NTFS marked to be in use [06:08] vgambit: i would try reinstalling it then; b/c it's a possibility that something just went a little wrong [06:08] ok gksudo it is [06:09] also, i saw this link on Ubuntu, but 4306 is guaranteed NOT to work Link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=880218 [06:09] P041NX: without any firefox windows, one just popped up. ps -AF | grep firefox shows a PPID of 1 [06:09] armornick: actually you can log in as root if you want to, it´s just not recommended [06:09] FAJALOU1: maybe the WiFi router has a MAC address white-list and the failing PC isn't in the list? [06:09] P041NX: which is /sbin/init I think [06:09] brandonmpace, which is why I don't know how ;) [06:10] The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator. [06:10] turtles1:thats the mother of all system. not what you're looking for. [06:10] what now? [06:10] IntuitiveNipple: all i am thinking is that it shouldn't be this hard; i got on easily without encryption to another network, and on another computer i got on easily... [06:10] Daps: what program are you trying to use? [06:10] Hi all, I want to open a GUI program, as another user on the same machine. I've logged in as the user in a terminal, but when I try to run the program I get "cannot open display". I've tried export DISPLAY=:0, DISPLAY=:1, etc. But it says it cannot find it. How can I find out what position my X server is running on? [06:10] i am trying to delete a user i added [06:11] userdel name [06:11] P041NX: I think this started after I followed the ubuntu wiki to setup my g15 keyboard. do you think maybe some hotkey is set wrong and is triggering? [06:11] turtles1: i know it's a bit dissapointing, but temporary changing the /usr/bin/firefox link to something else to show what is calling it might help [06:11] Daps: as singleman said, sudo userdel NAME [06:11] gentoo for all [06:11] Okay...I try to browse another computer that is running Windows Vista on my home network. I can see the computer in the file browser window but when I double click it I see none of the shared files from the computer. When trying to view the shares on the ubuntu machine from Vista it works perfectly. Point is...I see the computers from both computers...but only the files on the Ubuntu when browsing from Windows; not the other way aroun [06:12] P041NX: how do you mean? rename /usr/bin/firefox to /usr/bin/firefox.old or something? [06:12] FAJALOU1, I tried typing sudo touch /forcefsck and that didn't seem to do anything [06:12] I typed sudo touch hda /forcefsck [06:12] zidaps is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. [06:12] hye guy's - this may seem like a stupid question but - i set up my supeuser\root pass and it havent been a while since i loged in ubu -- i forgot it , is there any way to override\retrieve it ? [06:12] I have an NVIDIA 8800 gpu, should I use the third party drivers that Ubuntu has or download them from NVIDIA's website? [06:12] turtles1:hang on there, i'll give you some code to do it [06:12] how to show '' downloaded'' tab in ktorrent ? [06:12] PhiAlpha: Windows can't do the ext* file systems [06:12] P041NX: thank you :) [06:12] thats what i get when i put userdel or sudo userdel [06:12] vgambit: try restarting now [06:13] Daps: what version of ubuntu do you have? [06:13] 8.0 [06:13] I'm trying to find a way to make my laptops cdrom eject button run a script, is there any ways to do that? (I'm trying to get it to try to unmount, and if it did, then eject, otherwise don't eject) [06:13] mn_: I have no idea what that means but is that the reason I can not browse files on a windows machine through ubuntu? If so...is there a fix? [06:13] FAJALOU1: I tend to agree with you, but it is hard to remotely diagnose such issues. I'd be focusing on what the logs are showing (/var/log/syslog, /var/log/kern.log, etc.) [06:13] Daps: 8.04 (hint: it's a date YEAR.MONTH) [06:13] IntuitiveNipple: on which computer? [06:13] does anyone know formode? [06:13] im looking for serious consult here i really to wanna lose my stuff over this bull (to have to reboot and all) [06:13] 8.04.1 [06:14] how to show '' downloaded'' tab in ktorrent ? [06:14] IntuitiveNipple: let me try to turn sys security off on the router one sec. [06:14] Daps: Yup, that's the latest LTS stable [06:14] FAJALOU1: The one that has the problems [06:14] PhiAlpha, the fix is : harrasing microsoft to support opensource filesystems properly [06:14] PhiAlpha: I thought you meant you couldn't browse Ubuntu on Windows. You should be able to browse Windows on Ubuntu. [06:14] ok, i think i finally found one that can pick up where i left off [06:14] FAJALOU1, I tried mounting the windows partition after typing the touch command, but it would not mount [06:14] gonna try again [06:14] ok, so how can i delete the user? lol [06:14] FAJALOU1: As you've got two PCs and one works you can compare logs of the same events and look for differences, and figure out why [06:14] and after restarting, I still get error 18 [06:14] nigga tried to virus me [06:14] without getting zidaps is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. [06:15] Hi, all, simple question (I hope). How do you disable cd autorun/autoplay? It used to be under the media tab of System->Preferences->Removable Drives and media [06:15] Daps: Only a user with sudoers permissions can do it [06:15] but I'm running 8.04 and I don't see it there [06:15] Daps: You're trying to remove the first user from the second users account? [06:15] PhiAlpha: Microsoft uses NTFS and FAT32 filesystems. Ubuntu supports these, but works better with ext* filesystems. Windows doesn't support ext* filesystems which is probably what your Ubuntu is installed in. [06:15] badfish: that is impossible [06:15] mn_ and airtonix: I can browse ubuntu no problem and it works great. Through my ubuntu computer I can see my windows vista box perfectly fine. The vista box has plenty of shares that my macbook and other windows can stream from. Through the ubuntu however...when I double click to open the computer (which ubuntu see's!) I just get an empty window. No amount of refreshing fixes the problem either [06:15] the second user.. i am the first user [06:15] jamus: not impossible just unlikely [06:16] Daps: well what you can do is go to the system > Admin > users/groups and sometwhere in there there is a check box that says allow local root login [06:16] Daps: or something like that [06:16] Daps: what happens if you try to remove user using system>administration>users and groups [06:16] but i gave the second user admin status and used the same password as my account [06:16] badfish: Again, please watch your language. [06:16] i got vmware workstation 6.0.4 64 bits running under ubuntu linux 8.0.4.1 64 bits and i wanna use pulseaudio (padsp) but when i use it i get an LD_PRELOAD error anyone could help me please?? [06:16] badfish: linux has lame attempts of viruse but its really no big deal [06:16] the_ricka: Nautilus, Edit > Preferences, Media tab [06:16] i believe it [06:16] it was something about a psp wallpaper [06:16] PhiAlpha: Sounds like an odd problem. I have no idea how to fix it. [06:16] There has to be a workaround...there is no way people who have ubuntu can not browse windows network folders...it's impossible...especially since I can see the computer [06:16] badfish: its root attacks u shoud be worried about [06:16] Daps: passwords don't matter (they don't have to be the same). You're the first user, are you in the admin group? (type 'groups') [06:17] badfish: and such [06:17] Anyone? [06:17] well i get to this locked button.. and when i click it.. it says cannot be autheniticated [06:17] i understaned [06:17] how do i identify a root attack? [06:17] i don't think i am in admin group [06:17] IntuitiveNipple: Thank you so much! I knew it had to be fairly simple...why they had to go and move it around on me. [06:17] Daps: type 'groups' and see [06:17] PhiAlpha: It sounds as if the Windows system isn't allowing guests to have read permissions on the share root [06:17] Daps: wow something is messed up lol, yea type groups [06:17] does a root attack want me to go to vista and see what happens? [06:18] where? [06:18] the_ricka: Yeah, I spent 10 minutes trying to find where they'd moved it! [06:18] Daps: in a terminal [06:18] zidaps adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev fuse lpadmin [06:18] badfish: This channel is for ubuntu support, please keep it on topic. [06:18] what is a good terminal app with color ansi support? [06:18] IntuitiveNipple: Would that effect all computers on the network or just this Ubuntu box. All other computers I have see and can browse/open files on that box just fine [06:18] thats what i get back when i type groups [06:18] PhiAlpha: Hmm, are all other PCs Ubuntu, or Windows? [06:18] Daps: Alright, what are you two usernames? [06:18] IntuitiveNipple: no luck [06:19] Zidaps is me.. Boss is the Admin name [06:19] Flannel: if you read the context, you'll see that I am on topic; please know what you're talking about [06:19] IntuitiveNipple: 2 others are windows, one mac. The three see the vista box just fine and can stream/open shares fine [06:19] On my ubuntu 8.04 install something keeps opening new firefox windows every few minutes or so. is there a log I can look at to see what's triggering firefox to open? [06:19] PhiAlpha: also, is the Ubuntu PC a member of the same SMB domain as the others? [06:19] how do you write a grub entry for ubuntu [06:19] Daps: So, you're trying to remove which one? [06:19] how many people in this room are bots? [06:19] or is that an automated process [06:19] outta curiousity? [06:19] Boss [06:19] PhiAlpha, if your being asked for login password and username when trying to access you windows shares..then your not in guest mode [06:19] IntuitiveNipple: This machine sees the box fine...when I open the window to browse it, no files show up [06:19] i've found 3 so far [06:19] Daps: Alright, first you need to give zidaps permission to sudo. You can do this from the boss account [06:19] badfish: Please stop. [06:20] airtonix: Not getting asked anything [06:20] FAJALOU1: is that with no encryption on the WiFi ? [06:20] how do i do that? [06:20] Daps: log in with boss, and give administration power to zidaps [06:20] Flannel: please say something that will make me talk to you as something other than a bot [06:20] PhiAlpha, and when you login to the same point from your mac? are you asked to login? [06:20] IntuitiveNipple: The ubuntu pc is a member of the same workgroup...I do not know how to set up domains and haven't needed to on any of the other computers [06:20] badfish: i guess setting a root\ superuser pass sould make it harder - thats what i did and forgot my pass unfortunatly :S [06:20] ok, brb [06:20] badfish: Take bot reports to #ubuntu-ops, not here. [06:20] IntuitiveNipple: i can't turn it off -.- [06:20] PhiAlpha: check the logs in /var/log/samba/ for clues [06:20] Airtonix: yes [06:20] but this is connected through the encryption [06:20] jamus: No, setting a root password is a bad idea. [06:20] FAJALOU1, I tried super grub disk again to see if I could boot into linux, and this time it gave a more verbose error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS [06:21] Flannel: that isn't what i said [06:21] is there a way to extend my taskbar to my second screen? [06:21] !ot | badfish [06:21] badfish: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [06:21] badfish: Stop talking about them here, take it elsewhere. [06:21] like ultramon for windows [06:21] PhiAlpha, then i suggest restarting your ubuntu and try to login properly from ubuntu [06:21] FAJALOU1: maybe the kernel driver on the other PC can't support WPA/WPA2, and that is what the WiFi router is using [06:21] Intuitivenipple: I don't know how to check out the logs...what shoudl I look for? [06:21] IntuitiveNipple: i plugged in another wifi usb card; connects right up [06:21] i have installed xp in vbox 2.0.2 in ubuntu host ... and also GuestAddition but still cant get in full screen mode in my laptop.... any solutions [06:21] anyone knows why it's been sitting at "GRUB loading, please wait..." for like 5 minutes? bad sign? nothing to worry about? safe to reboot? [06:21] FAJALOU1: sounds like the driver then... what is the device that is having problems? [06:21] On my ubuntu 8.04 install something keeps opening new firefox windows every few minutes or so. is there a log I can look at to see what's triggering firefox to open? [06:21] airtonix: When yous ay login from Ubuntu what do you mean? How would I do that...sign in as ubuntu? I am the only "admin" on this computer. BTW...new to linux/ubuntu in general [06:22] D-Link Wifi cardnotebook; using ndiswrapper [06:22] Flannel: who are you? [06:22] vgambit: that usually means that your partition it´s trying to boot from is too far down the line [06:22] PhiAlpha: It's a case of using your eyes and looking for clues [06:22] trying to connect to it now [06:22] PhiAlpha, becauase i am using 8.04 and my firs attempt to access a windows share required me to enter a username and password [06:22] ubottu: i knew you were a bot a year ago [06:22] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:22] Flannel: well i guessed that by restricting acceses u sould help such issues but its just commun sense and no tech knowhow [06:22] alright brandonmpace [06:22] vgambit: where is grub installed, if it is [06:22] is there any way to boot from the first partition into the second partition? [06:22] okay [06:22] I will reboot and try [06:22] I hope to not see you guys in a few [06:22] ;) [06:22] or put the MBR on the first partition instead of the second? [06:22] PhiAlpha, what i mean by ubuntu is your ubuntu machine. [06:22] Flannel: now that u point it it is a lame idea -- uups [06:23] jamus: You can still fix it. You have an account that can sudo, right? [06:23] airtonix: gotcha [06:23] vgambit: put grub on the mbr and it should fix the problem, did it work before? [06:23] I am trying...not asking for anything [06:23] brb...I'll try again [06:23] PhiAlpha, if you not getting a username/password prompt when your trying to access the windows machine then it means that your still in hte guest session... [06:23] Flannel: yeap [06:23] everyone using Ubuntu you should use chmod -r 777 / [06:23] jamus: sudo passwd -l root [06:23] at some point in their lives [06:23] IntuitiveNipple: Rangebooster N Notebook adapter: DWA-642 [06:23] !danger | Malformation [06:23] Malformation: DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here.

[06:23] i'm trying to run KDE4 [06:23] it never worked [06:24] hello, can you tell me why sometimes I cannot play any sound (mp3 files) on my system?

[06:24] i can connect with a usb atheros card, not with the above one === ^Wormow is now known as [[[Wormow] [06:24] no, only the windows partition [06:24] Flannel: how about chmood -r 666 ? :p (read it *carefully*) [06:24] I just installed ubuntu, and I have yet to actually boot into it [06:24] vgambit: grub-install /dev/hdx ? [06:25] if I use super grub disc I can boot through that into windows [06:25] IntuitiveNipple: still best not to do silly things like that. [06:25] from the ubuntu live disc, I take it?

I think someones playing with the ubuntu bot :P [06:25] vgambit: re install ubuntu and somewhere along the way you will see an advanced button or something like that i think. You just need to tell it to install grub to the mbr [06:25] chmood [06:25] anyone knows why it's been sitting at "GRUB loading, please wait..." for like 5 minutes? bad sign? nothing to worry about? safe to reboot?

[06:26] wats that do [06:26] vgambit: it will work i promise lol i learned that lesson [06:26] Flannel - do me a favor [06:26] lol ok [06:26] Flannel: it says pass changed but when invuked su it fails authentication [06:26] chmod is a dangerous tool if u misuse it on ubuntu [06:26] Go to gnome-look.org install a few Themes [06:26] Even they require permission changes [06:26] jamus: You locked your root account, so that's true. Don't use su. [06:27] cyban: I fail to see your point. And this is offtopic. === [[[Wormow] is now known as Wormow [06:27] lol I wanna try that in a vm Flannel. so that I can see how bad it is. I forget what 777 does [06:27] Flannel: i am back on as Boss [06:27] RWX [06:27] read write and view i think [06:27] for all users [06:27] cyban: the person called for the chmod on root. read the line and understand the problem [06:27] Malformation: Do you have a support question? or are you just here to cause trouble? [06:27] turtles1: pasted in pastebin.. U still there? [06:27] so when it goes onto the root "sudo" [06:27] cyban, any theme that requires you to change permisisions should be held with suspicion [06:27] Flannel - well telling people changing permissions is dangerious is kinda ridiculous [06:27] Malformation: so you wouldn´t be able to log in [06:27] Flannel: is there any way to get root acces in order to perform ops that need that ? [06:28] brandonmpace will I have to manually set up the partitions, then? [06:28] no flannel, im just discussing why it's a bad command [06:28] yes brandon [06:28] before I had done a guided/automatic setup by telling it to fill in the empty space [06:28] ushimitsudoki: BUT... there was no sudo so it would have failed [06:28] you might have to vgambit [06:28] jamus: You'd use sudo. You shouldn't need anything else. [06:28] IntuitiveNipple: no, it wouldn't have. [06:28] airtonix, Overglossed - have to chmod the theme to use the background because the way the instructions are wrote [06:28] vgambit: that is usually best [06:28] Flannel: It did here [06:28] How can i make a macro in ubuntu? that i could click on and exicute? [06:28] i used the chmod with 777 when i got frustrated at the ubuntu sudo command [06:28] i learnt my lesson. [06:28] IntuitiveNipple: the type of person that would try that command would probably try sudo. it's dumb and the person should rightfully have been kicked. EOT on it for me [06:28] IntuitiveNipple: i feel really stupid; i didn't lspci it so i installed ndiswrapper to run it; it prolly is atheros itself, so all i needed was madwifi -.- [06:28] Daps: Alright, go to users and groups, and give your other account admin access [06:28] cyban, since when does a wallpaper need to have its permissions changed to live in my home folder? [06:29] lol @ Malformation [06:29] how do we check what version of nm-applet we have? [06:29] lol @ myself [06:29] xD [06:29] FAJALOU1: doh!!!

It looks like i have it now, but it's using open class libraries that aren't working right [06:29] i can't [06:29] I want to use all sun code [06:29] Flannel: i tryed to sudo aptitude upgrade and needed superuser account [06:29] IntuitiveNipple: that's for different reasons. -r vs -R, but even without sudo it'll screw up your homedir. [06:29] it won't let me click in the box [06:29] I love linux, you learn stuff all the time [06:29] jamus: Yes, you used sudo. [06:29] I'm totally flagablasterd, I just learned about ssh -X user@server! [06:29] yup [06:29] funny how after i admit i used chmod, ushuimitsudoki starts saying whoever uses that is stupid [06:29] lol [06:29] Malformation: please stop. Its offtopi [06:29] IntuitiveNipple: ya... i took it out for now; b/c i am updating the system; but when i plug it back in i will lspci it, i feel really stupid, and then if i need to i will install madwifi... [06:29] ok [06:29] pan_: dpkg-query -s 'network-manager-gnome' [06:30] b/c it didn't see it according to hardware drivers... [06:30] how do i get a bar that goes across two screens like ultramon in windows [06:30] FAJALOU1: I reckon you're short on sleep... it gets me that way too :) [06:30] DOH! ya it's atheros! [06:30] ya a little; school and 5 honors/ap classes and all ;) [06:31] ethana2: sun java needs env varable set... give me a minute, i'll dig out info [06:31] Malformation: no. i said anyone who tried a command like what you typed would be stupid. and probably stupid enough to sudo it. which it sounds like you were. EOT on it from me. muted. [06:31] Whats a good place to learn about permissions? [06:31] P041NX: many thanks, I was about to give up hope due to noise [06:31] !permissions | Winston_SmithVT [06:31] Winston_SmithVT: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [06:31] IntuitiveNipple: it doesn't show up in hardware drivers, isn't it supposed to? [06:31] Flannel: Thanks [06:31] so what can i do flannel? it won't let me administer the system [06:31] what's EOT mean? [06:31] or is ndiswrapper's module for it canceling it out? [06:31] Daps: As boss? [06:31] Is this a good channel for Pidgin questions? [06:31] yes [06:32] Flannel: it invokes dpkg and when i dp iit says dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege [06:32] Anyone know how to make a macro for ubuntu that i could execute via an icon? I just want it to enter a simple keyboard shortcut. [06:32] FAJALOU1: At this point (6.30am and no sleep yet) I pass :) [06:32] OMG [06:32] Ok, I have a stupid Pidgin question. If I see a cell phone icon next to a buddy's icon, as well as a regular service - MSN, AIM - icon in the Buddy List, does that mean my buddy is signed on with their phone? [06:32] OMG [06:32] i cannot click into the box that will give me that privelege [06:32] Omlette: #pidgin is probably better [06:32] FUCK YEAH [06:32] pardon my french [06:32] Daps: Try going to a terminal and doing this: sudo adduser zidaps admin [06:32] !language [06:32] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [06:32] Yekyaa[Ubuntu]: Please don't do that again. [06:32] We will not pardon your french. [06:32] IntuitiveNipple: dang, shouldn't it show up in hardware drivers? [06:32] jamus: When you did "sudo aptitude upgrade"? [06:33] firefox no longer launches, it remains in the system monitor but doesnt appear on screen and the only way i know to fix it is to restart, is there a way to fix it without restarting? [06:33] FAJALOU1: which "it" ?

[06:34] that's why it wasn't working [06:34] * Orian1701 will give cookie for macro help. :D [06:34] o_O umm.. apparently terminal fails to launch also [06:34] this is what shows up [06:34] zidaps adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev fuse lpadmin admin [06:34] now, to restart really and start playing with my desktop, i finally got the nvidia driver installed successfully :) [06:34] FAJALOU1: have you seen this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4140239&postcount=1 [06:34] Flannel: i didnt log on for some while so i forgot my super hard and complex pass for root :S [06:35] Daps: alright, now log out of boss, and back into zidaps, and you'll be able to use sudo (and remove boss) [06:35] it launches but had a white screen then dimmed like its failing to recieve a signal [06:35] airtonix, ya you can install it a few ways - but if you follow those then you chmod, easiest way - I would be willing to bet 75% of the people who come here wont see directions like that and know to modify the instructions ;) [06:35] ok, brb [06:35] jamus: You don't need to know your root password. Just your user password. [06:35] cyban, why follow those instructions when putting the various pieces in my home folders works and is safer [06:35] IntuitiveNipple: this is the one i am looking at : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=348918&highlight=D-Link+DWA-642 [06:36] a little outdated but,,, if madwifi can get it to work :D [06:36] b/c i haven't tried madwifi yet (as it is what you are supposed to use with atheros) [06:36] airtonix, what percentage of people who come here for help after installing something like that would know that to begin with? [06:36] how to show '' downloaded'' tab in ktorrent ? the tab that shows all the downloaded things. [06:36] FAJALOU1: whats the device id? (lspci -nn) [06:36] airtonix, and for that matter if you do already know that you likely have su unlocked anyway heh [06:36] cyban, anyone whose not a headless chicken [06:37] Flannel: ok i think i can figure it out using forums and stuff but it became an issue on its own -- can i retrieve my root pass any how? [06:37] IntuitiveNipple: ummmm, two show up: 0280 and 168c:0023 [06:37] jamus: You can reset it [06:37] hello, can you tell me why sometimes I cannot play any sound (mp3 files) on my system? I usually use amarok, but the problem persists with another players [06:37] FAJALOU1: mad wifi will work with atheros on ubuntu 8.04 but first you might have to plug in with an ethernet cord and get all the latest updates, that´s what I had to do [06:37] jamus: No. passwords aren't recoverable, only resettable. But again, you shouldn't have a root password. Lock your root account. [06:37] Flannel, i did sudo userdel boss, and got back "user boss does not exist.. yet its still in there [06:37] airtonix, I think you are reading the wrong channel - I see a lot of people come here for beginner questions [06:37] cyban, see my point is if you knew...you wouldnt be anywhere near su or sudo when installing themes [06:37] brandonmpace: i am using ndiswrapper right now with a different wifi card [06:37] gonzaloaf_laptop: they aren't DRM are they? [06:37] Dap1: what makes you think its still there? [06:37] FAJALOU1: ah ok [06:38] cyban, or even chmod [06:38] gotta love the universal ndiswrapper :D [06:38] Orian1701, DRM ? [06:38] the user switch icon by the internet connection icon, by the speaker volume icon top right [06:38] airtonix, if you knew then you know what to do and what not to - if you didnt then you follow instructions, it breaks, they come here and want it fixed - fastest way to fix it is chmod the theme folder [06:38] boss is still there [06:38] Dap1: Ah. That may read the users available when you log in and cache that information or something. [06:38] gonzaloaf: Are the files DRM protected (ie did you buy them online and they have a lisence on them?)

I think it´s ubuntu restricted extras if you search for it [06:40] brandonmpace, If I log out and log in again [06:40] jamus: You shouldn't ever have been asked for root access.

[06:46] holy cow...what's a DoS kiddie? [06:46] gonzaloaf_laptop: go into synaptic under administration and uninstall totem and install totem-xine [06:46] to delete boss, remember i had to gain admin status [06:46] airtonix, you still cant use the Theme tho can you - it asks to enable the background etc etc and it wont do it [06:46] gonzaloaf_laptop: you can only do this if you have medibuntu i think [06:46] jamus, right now i only want to boot my hardy only. [06:46] sarthor_: of course - its a live cd its not on ur system [06:46] Daps: That wasn't to delete boss.

[06:47] vgambit: use the gparted cd [06:47] it's much easier [06:47] thanks ya :D [06:47] right now I have a windows partition and about half a drive worth of free space [06:47] vgambit: That'll work fine, yes. Although you might want a separate homedir. [06:47] But, chmod 777 quick fix - or spend half an hour explaining why, how to drag the desktop into the background and so on - telling people chmod or other common commands is dumb I stick to that point - and lots of commands can be dangerious if used wrong [06:47] gonzaloaf_laptop: that makes totem able to play mp3´s using the xine backend. [06:47] right now I need to know what exactly to do (as far as partition changing/creation) in order to boot from the first partition into either windows or linux [06:48] vgambit: ushould give /root gb gig and swap 2 gb [06:48] is anyone here using Ibexd yet? i have a graphics issue i need assistance with [06:48] cyban: Which is why we don't say stupid commands in this channel. [06:48] brandonmpace, what am I using now? [06:48] er ibex [06:48] jayde_drag0n: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid support, thanks. [06:48] vgambit: ushould give /root10 gb gig and swap 2 gb***** [06:48] gonzaloaf_laptop: I think gstreamer [06:48] brandonmpace, in amarok says xine engine [06:48] Flannel, come Admin my AIX and LIN servers without chmod, su, or sudo lol [06:48] Flannel: thank you [06:48] after reading a bunch of guides, the current plan is to slide the windows partition over a bit, create a new 100 mb partition before it, then create the linux/swap partitions after the windows partition [06:48] vgambit: and it should work good [06:49] vgambit: All you really need is one giant / partition and a /home partition of a decent size [06:49] alright, now [06:49] brandonmpace: it depends on how much RAM [06:49] I also need to know how to install grub to that 100 mb partition using the ubuntu live cd installer [06:49] new issue ^^ nvidia accelerated drivers were installed, i rebooted, and it took me to some old gnome main screen for detecting my display [06:49] If you have to be ignorent of your system to use it safely then your on the wrong OS IMO even if its a simplified version of Linux [06:49] I'm guessing that 100 mb partition needs to be ext3, right? [06:50] what is the 100 mb for? [06:50] gonzaloaf_laptop: and you said amarok plays mp3´s so why not use the xine backend on totem and try that? [06:50] vgambit: what's the mountpoint? [06:50] btw Flannel oneal is a spam bot [06:50] vgambit: use gparted live cd and create 60 gb for win 10 gb for /root and 2gb for swap and the rest as symbiotic drive between the 2 [06:50] Gnea, for what? [06:50] FAJALOU1: I am aware of this I just spaced it off for the moment lol [06:50] vgambit: the 100meg partition, of course [06:50] lol all good brandonmpace [06:50] I didn't start doing anything yet [06:50] brandonmpace, ok [06:50] cyban: were you referring to me? i'm looking up info for it now. [06:51] jamus I'd rather not do that; I just want to install linux while leaving my windows partition intact just in case [06:51] brandonmpace, installed [06:51] vgambit: you don´t need a grub partition if you need only window and ubuntu. just install grub to the mbr [06:51] I don't plan on sharing files between the two [06:51] no Yekyaa[Ubuntu] [06:51] how? [06:51] oh, ok ^^ [06:51] vgambit: uhm, grub doesn't need a partition, it resides in the MBR and reads off of the the / partition for configuration directives [06:52] I'm confused now :/ [06:52] vgambit: win =ntfs 'ubu reifest or ext3 and symdrive ntfs to be mounted as /dos [06:52] heh. [06:52] let me explain how it was and how it is: [06:52] vgambit: it really helps if you just install it already [06:52] brandonmpace, where should I run esd? [06:52] Gnea: if you have a /boot partition then it does have it´s own partition [06:52] before it was one 128 gb partition with windows and the windows bootloader [06:52] brandonmpace: that's true, although 100meg could cause some issues [06:52] vgambit: its a perfect solution it works great if u try --ur call im talking from experience [06:53] vgambit: so the ntloader is on the MBR of the whole disk itself [06:53] then I shrunk that partition down to 80 gb and told ubuntu to do as it pleased with the free space, which was actually 60ish gigs because the drive is much larger than 128 gb [06:53] Gnea: that´s why I said not to bother and just make a / and a /home and a /swap [06:53] after installation, I got Error 18 [06:53] vgambit: why don't you just install wubi and not worry about it? [06:53] vgambit: when u mount it as /dos u avoid the image known as lost&fount which is a bummer [06:53] !wubi [06:53] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [06:53] right now it's just the shrunken windows partition and empty space again [06:53] there is no /swap [06:53] it's not a folder [06:54] vgambit: well how much empty space have you allocated? [06:54] I was going to use that but it wouldn't let me use all of the free space on the partition [06:54] vgambit: you just need to find the option that installs grub to the mbr of the entire disk, which will be in one of the last steps of the installation, maybe even the one before the last [06:54] woot, found the problem for monitor/video, yeah yeah :) [06:54] right now I have 70 GB unallocated space [06:54] how to run with nice -18 and real-time, but as regular user foo ? [06:54] ofo course it wouldn't [06:54] *of [06:54] the error 18 problem stems from my bios not supporting a 160 gb hard drive [06:55] o.O is it IDE or SATA? [06:55] I'm trying to get around that somehow, because when I booted into the live CD, I was able to view both partitions fine [06:55] ceil420: lol I´m sorry you know what I meant, I believe there used to be a long time ago, but I have only been around linux for 4 years [06:55] IDE [06:55] laptop [06:55] which laptop? make/model? [06:55] gateway 6510GZ [06:55] vgambit: i suggest that u use gparted live cd and part it to 10gb ext3 and 2gb swap [06:55] * Gnea notes... [06:55] !laptop [06:55] Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org [06:55] vgambit: is the bios updated to the latest version? [06:56] I couldn't find an update for it [06:56] hmm [06:56] I went to the gateway driver page for the laptop, but it doesn't have a bios update listed [06:56] vgambit: and rest as ntfs in wich u can share thing between 2 os whichout compatibility issues [06:57] jamus I don't want to share anything [06:57] vgambit: like music docs and vids [06:57] what is on linux will only be used by linux [06:57] vgambit: I usually do what jamus proposed [06:57] vgambit: What is the make and model of your laptop [06:57] vgambit: ok its fine to do all space but u have to partit first [06:57] gateway 6510GZ [06:57] where is java directory in linux [06:57] ? [06:58] like JDK ... [06:58] /usr/local/java right? [06:58] vgambit: okay, so let me get this straight - you bought a new hard drive for your laptop that the laptop doesn't support? [06:58] nope [06:58] vgambit: and the thing is that linux reqiers like 10 gb at most to work and 2 gb swap so its a waste of space [06:58] hmm [06:58] I did this over a year ago and installed windows XP to it, but yes [06:58] if your bios can find it, you shoudl be good [06:59] the only problem was that xp only saw 128 GB out of the 15* [06:59] hey guys i just created an ext3 partition and I'm confused about its size - it's reporting conflicting information: http://www.pastebin.ca/1206407 <-- any ideas? [06:59] vgambit: then you´ll only be able to use the 128 [06:59] anyone know what " is the path into the jdk1.3 (or higher)" ? [07:00] then how was the live cd able to mount both partitions? [07:00] vgambit: you're just setting yourself up for a disaster then - you should either get a correctly-sized hd for your laptop, or use an external drive to install ubuntu on [07:00] vgambit: gparted live cd is a linux live cd wich shows u really wwhat iu have on harddrive [07:00] vgambit: lol that´s computers for you [07:00] vgambit: its a surprise whatu can find [07:00] it´s true [07:00] vgambit: what does your bios see? [07:00] I read a forum post in a thread about error 18 where someone had a similar problem [07:01] MidgetSpy: uhm, fdisk is used for a main disk, not a disk partition [07:01] that person didn't encounter any issues until some new kernel update moved the kernel to the farther linux partition [07:01] badfish I don't know what you mean [07:01] man [07:02] i go all night [07:02] i might have to go get another 40 [07:02] badfish: Please keep this channel on topic [07:02] vgambit: yea man u wil lsee it alot -im sruggeling with bad upgrade now :SS [07:02] vgambit: this one? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=11764 [07:02] vgambit: as I said I know what is going on. I have had this problem. You need to install to a spot on the hard drive as close to 0 as you can get [07:02] Gnea: OK, http://www.pastebin.ca/1206410 <-- why does df say 200M used but only 878G free? [07:02] brandonmpace, what if I slide the windows partition over? [07:03] that's the thread Gnea [07:03] How do I 'force download' more than one torrent in deluge. I can't see any option to enable more than one torrent. I have 10 torrents in the que but only one is downloading. [07:03] vgambit: I wouldn´t advise ¨sliding¨ the partition, but maybe downsizing it a little bit. Make sure to defrag it in windows first! [07:03] MidgetSpy: because the journal itself takes up space - the larger the partition, the larger the journal. out of 878gigs, you're going to complain about a measely 200meg? :) [07:04] question: one of the place to set is under Edit > Preferences > Queue. You can set the number of active torrents there. [07:04] lol that's what like .00001% :P [07:04] Gnea is correct [07:04] vgambit: i wanan tell u that win will not find a drive if not initiated and formatted correctly so consider it may work just fine [07:04] ushimitsudoki: Isn't there an option for 'force download'? [07:04] brandonmpace I already shrunk it from 128 gb to 87 GB [07:04] Gnea: I'm not complaining about the 200 megs, hehe, I'm wondering how the drive says 925G total, 878G free, but only 200M used?? [07:04] vvgam [07:05] ushimitsudoki: I don't have a tab called que in edit>preferences. [07:05] does it count the usable space including the journal but the free space excluding it? [07:05] MidgetSpy: well i really don't know how you setup your RAID [07:05] ushimitsudoki: Got it, stupid me. Is there a way I can force download directly from the main interface? [07:05] jamus I can boot into windows if I use the super grub disk [07:05] vgambit: ok so you just need to install linux with a / partition and a swap partition in the spot between 87 and 128 [07:06] vgambit: does that make sense? [07:06] Gnea: it's a hardware RAID5 array, this is the 2nd partition on it and is supposed to be 1GB (which it is). I just don't know why it says there's 50G used already [07:06] question: well it is there for me on the latest version (0.9.09). That's how i manage my torrents. I'm not aware of a force download option. Perhaps the deluge forums can offer a better response? [07:06] so 41 GB partition? [07:07] vgambit: never tried it [07:07] vgambit: whatever it would be, yes. be sure to make a 2 gig swap partition [07:07] vgambit: just don´t go over 128 [07:07] brandonmpace will I be able to use that extra unallocated space by making another ntfs or fat32 partition? [07:07] 2 gig swap? [07:07] ushimitsudoki: creepy interface. There is an option called maximum simultaneous download torrents. Talk about usability. [07:07] ushimitsudoki: Thank you anyways. [07:07] got a gig ram? [07:07] by not going over 128 do you mean on the boot partition or period? [07:07] vgambit: for dual boot u have to set win part to be the first [07:07] sounds about good [07:07] vgambit: your laptop bios does not support it, and period [07:07] shucks [07:08] MidgetSpy: ah, then i suppose the hardware is swapping data behind the scenes all of the time, thus taking up space on the disks themselves, requiring a certain usage amount to maintain the integrity that 5 provides. [07:08] vgambit: lol that´s computers [07:08] its 0,3 if im not mistaken - any other option will fail [07:08] vgamit: if, on boot, you press f2 repeadedly and it finds drive, bios supports it [07:08] it finds a drive and it was booting fine [07:08] then bios supports it [07:08] but that's before I decided to try going over the 128 GB point [07:08] problem isn't bios [07:08] but your xp partition was only 128 right? [07:09] right [07:09] exactly [07:09] over 128Gb point? [07:09] Gnea: no, the redundant space is taken up by a separate disk in the array, the hardware card provides the OS a full 1000GB to use (as shown by fdisk). [07:09] I have had this proble [07:09] problem* [07:09] partitioning programs wouldn't see that extra space at all [07:09] vgamit: recap for me quick, please [07:09] vgambit: ubuntu its not ntfs or fat-- its ext3 ext 2 and riefrst [07:09] windows wouldn't, and neither would any program on hiren's boot cd [07:09] because your bios wasn´t reporting it. and he was talking about an extra partition [07:09] but ubuntu did [07:09] ubuntu can still see all partitions though [07:09] vgambit: not gparted? [07:10] MidgetSpy: hrmmmm.. could you please provide a pastebin of your /var/log/dmesg? [07:10] vgamit: what happened? [07:10] you started with windows? [07:10] haven't tried gparted on this old laptop yet [07:10] vgambit: use gparted live cd it shows averything [07:10] how many hard drives? [07:10] 1 [07:10] ok [07:11] started with what operatin system? [07:11] xp [07:11] still have it? [07:11] yes, but I can't boot into it without using super grub disc [07:11] vgambit: I have had this problem and I fixed it by upgrading my bios. How old is the laptop?? [07:11] if i asked you to do it now, could you boot to it? [07:11] 2005 [07:11] yes [07:12] grub works to boot to windows? [07:12] super grub disc does [07:12] the live cd? [07:12] the grub that was installed from ubuntu doesn't boot anything [07:12] you have to use cd? [07:12] yes [07:12] ok [07:12] take cd out and restart [07:12] not yet [07:12] but [07:12] badfish: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:12] vgambit, brandonmpace: upgrade bios by using motherboard homepage [07:12] guys [07:13] I can't find out what motherboard the laptop has [07:13] <_xyz> _xyz: is it safe to resize Vista partitions from a live Ubuntu session? [07:13] badfish, vgambit: please try to fill out complete sentences.. use punctuation.. you're making the channel scroll by too fast :) [07:13] I am typing in complete sentences :p [07:13] lol. [07:14] xyz; no [07:14] <_xyz> why [07:14] !pm | badfish [07:14] _xyz: vista throws a hissy fit [07:14] badfish: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [07:14] !pm | Gnea [07:14] Gnea: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [07:14] <_xyz> well i tried from within vista's 'disk management' tool and it kinda froze up [07:14] badfish: stop. [07:14] xyz: do it with gparted live cd just no big changes just gradual or it will take ages [07:15] xyz it is recommended to shrink vista use it's paritiion thing, have you tried it again [07:15] _xyz: also defrag in windows first! [07:15] <_xyz> FAJALUO1: yes i did. it didn't work well. froze up (just the app, not OS), so i rebooted [07:15] <_xyz> no damage tho [07:16] <_xyz> brandonmpace: defrag for speed? [07:16] _xyz: noooo [07:16] xyz i would suggest defragging and then trying it again................. [07:16] imo [07:16] _xyz: so that you don´t lose data [07:16] xyz: becouse if u are notsure what u doing u will -- u will -- messup ur thing and its a big issue to fix it [07:16] i installed the sgt-puzzles package but when i run "sgt-puzzles" from the command line it says command not found. i ran "which sgt-puzzles" and it reported nothing. [07:16] i got it to work on a friends computer w/ that , but take the other ppls words for it [07:16] xyz; be safe , use gparted live cd [07:16] <_xyz> jamus: so i should start with let's say moving 10 gigs from a data partition to the OS partition? [07:17] _xyz: it pulls your data to the front of the partition so that when you resize you´re only wiping out empty space [07:17] <_xyz> jamus: does gparted have a defrag tool? [07:17] what command do i run to play sgt-puzzles? [07:17] xyz no [07:17] Gnea: the RAID5 hardware array is /dev/sdf (sda-sdd is a software array, sde is the OS drive) [07:17] _xyz: use the windows defrag tool [07:18] <_xyz> alright [07:18] xyz; use gparted and start small size like resize to -2 gb and see how ur machine handels it [07:18] <_xyz> sounds good [07:18] <_xyz> thanks for all your help guys [07:18] _xyz: also you can use the system rescue cd http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page burn that, boot it, and when it comes up type run_qtparted [07:18] xyz; no it doesnt have a defrag tool [07:18] lol he left. [07:19] xyz; i reccomend u O&o defrag just dont allow acces to the internet or updateds [07:19] lol or perfectdisk [07:19] xyz; for win i say [07:19] jamus; he left [07:19] brandonmpace I should make an ext3 partition with the Mount point of / and a 2 GB swap partition while staying under 128 GB HDD usage, correct? [07:19] yes [07:20] ok [07:20] that should work [07:20] FAJALOU1: ok works for everyone to [07:20] Primary partition for the root, right? [07:20] jamus true [07:20] mbr if you can make it. [07:20] ? [07:20] but yes [07:20] yes [07:21] you mean I should make an MBR partition? [07:21] no [07:21] vgambit: ur main linux partition is /root [07:21] actually it´s / [07:21] vgambit: it can be as small as 10 gb and work like a charm (i have such) [07:21] vgambit: continue with what you suggested yourself [07:22] hello [07:22] hi jim [07:22] vgambit: just leave your windows hda1 or sda1 partition alone if you don´t want to mess with it [07:22] MidgetSpy: okay... [07:22] jamus 10 gigs of space is no good for me and my 17 megabit connection [07:23] brandonmpace: LOL true -- i can mess my sxit up alone and dont need help :DDD [07:23] lol. [07:23] brandonmpace yeah, I need it around for visual studio. it also has a bunch of files I'd rather not go through the chore of backing up/transferring to other PCs, etc. [07:23] ok so when i type lspci i get that the vga controller is ATI RAdeon Mobility M7 (7500) will this work with compiz? and should i use envy-ng to install b/c it is not showing up in restricted drivers. [07:24] lsusb is not working/not showing the list of usb attached. Any solution to this? [07:24] vgambit: well then go ahead and let me know how it works out :) [07:24] will do === FAJALOU1 is now known as FAJALOU [07:24] sorry for changin in the chan :\ [07:25] vgambit: its good to have exta partition for things in case u mess up ur windows [07:25] FAJALOU: yes it should [07:25] Does partition resizing / moving delete my files on ext3 partitions_ [07:25] brandonmpace: it should but doesn't,,, so should i use envy-ng to install? [07:25] vgambit: not all egges on 1 basket and bla bla [07:25] current HDD usage is 126.1 4 GB which should be within the bios' bounds [07:25] FAJALOU: I have the intel X3100 and it works. that ati chipset is better.... [07:25] vgambit: continue then [07:26] brandonmpace: then just use envy-ng? [07:26] Ape3000: well it souldnt but back up just in case [07:26] I think so, are you using the ati driver? [07:27] Ape3000: its hard work for hd needle u know [07:27] I might have another problem in that the ubuntu asked if I wanted to import my xp user settings before, but not now [07:27] Ape3000: if you resize an ext3 partition you most likely won´t be able to access the data on it. I have tried with many tools [07:27] I guess that's because the mbr worked fine then [07:27] Ape3000: one little slap on pc while doing it and it will mess up [07:27] ok brandonmpace, I found the advanced button this time [07:27] what did you want me to do concerning grub installation? [07:28] vgambit: that´s because you did custom partitioning and left windows partition alone [07:28] But shrinking and moving should save my files? [07:28] vgambit: is your drive hd0 or sd0 or do you know [07:28] brandonmpace: then just use envy-ng? [07:28] hda or sda [07:28] FAJALOU: are you using the official ati driver? [07:28] brandonmpace hd0 or /dev/sda [07:29] vgambit: hd0 put that in the box for grub [07:29] Ape3000: in general yes if u dont over shink it (use free space ) [07:29] brandonmpace then there's /dev/sda1, sda2, and sda-1 [07:29] brandonmpace: currently i am not using any driver; no effects yet [07:29] brandonmpace that was the default option; are you sure I shouldn't pick /dev/sda? [07:30] vgambit: install it to > (hd0) [07:30] ok [07:30] vgambit: it will be fine i promise lol [07:30] vgambit: if on same fisical drive it should be sda1,0 sda1.3 sda1.5 and so on [07:30] FAJALOU: install the official ati driver, then try installing compiz fusion [07:31] brandonmpace it just looked like that would've been the option it chose last time [07:31] brandonmpace: where can i find the official ones? [07:31] which makes sense considering the only thing that really seemed to have gone wrong was me using space that the bios doesn't allow [07:31] vgambit: yes just leave it, it will work [07:31] FAJALOU: add/remove [07:31] and now, the wait :) [07:31] jamus ty [07:31] FAJALOU: they should be in the add remove programs. just allow the universe/multiverse etc [07:32] FAJALOU: and type ati [07:32] vgambit: I bet this works :) [07:32] brandonmpace: ty [07:33] FAJALOU: you´re welcome [07:33] is there a way to have my ubuntu server broadcast a video file to another computer through the command line? [07:33] I need to detect what usb devices are attached, but lsusb suddenly started to refuse showing the list. it works with the -t option, however...ideas, please. [07:33] FAJALOU: also install ccsm in synaptic under administration [07:33] FAJALOU: urwlcmd [07:33] FAJALOU: that´s compiz config settings manager [07:33] brandonmpace: ya after that i know where they are i think :) always used nvidia, so this is new :D [07:34] where is the sgt-puzzles package located when installed on Ubuntu? i installed it and don't know what command to run to play it [07:34] d0wn: simplest stream is cat videofile.avi | nc -l -p ${port of your choice} [07:34] hello can anyone help me? [07:34] !ask | raulh [07:34] raulh: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[08:11] brandonmpace, ok, but what about commands like s2disk and s2ram? They dont seem to work too... [08:11] kevin__::if you have named your partition (if it's exte) then you can get the info from mount [08:11] just type that into the recovery console? [08:11] parrott: sorry. If you do this at the recovery shell: `touch /forcefsck` and then reboot, you'll fsck before mounting. [08:12] parrott: no, ignore that first one. [08:12] icedtea: i want to make an xchat2a or so [08:12] cool ill give it a go [08:12] kevin__:yep, the -Y or the -y option will force hdd to spin down [08:12] so you need the hdd name [08:12] chalcedony: what are you trying to accomplish?

[08:16] hosk, reboot? [08:17] the question is, would the samba service be running at all with my machine in this state, ie backing up over the network [08:17] dammit, i really was hoping to avoid that... [08:17] oh well [08:17] P041NX, yes, its a USB device.

[08:17] oh nevermind, it finally died [08:17] icedtea: etc [08:17] another bug in sudo. this is why ubunto should have a root login [08:17] i hate rebooting, i like weeklong uptimes [08:18] kevin__: a lsusb will give you the divice name, and from there, the attached place aka sda0, etc,etc.. can be found. normaly, a shell script is used to aboid the mess [08:18] *ubuntu [08:18] icedtea`: Please take non-support discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks [08:18] it is a 6500 or 7500, i got it to manually install some stuff, so one second, and let's see if this works ;) [08:18] hosk, me too, besides the occasional memory leak, my family dell is a 24/7 machine [08:18] parrott: use alternate install? do a memtest [08:18] where do i take the mac-support discussion?? [08:19] disk has been tested, memtest has been run (propper memtest) all came up clean [08:19] icedtea: you can log in as root [08:19] P041NX, Bus 003 Device 002: ID 1058:0702 Western Digital Technologies, Inc. -- so what would be the correct command -- and I might steal your knowledge in creating a script [08:19] BioTeck: PPC mac or intel mac? [08:19] sweet, i guess the problem sorted itself out from all the kill commands i was sending it [08:20] brandonmpace: without using sudo? [08:20] kevin__: obtaining the /dev/sdx before umount is the simplest, and the next is from extracting from the dmesg [08:20] is there a way to get rid of network-manager-gnome and still be able to connect to the internet [08:21] through console [08:21] pan_ wicd [08:21] but it's not real good [08:21] icedtea: there is a way to use su and you can also login as root at the login screen with a simple clicking of a checkbox in system>administration>users groups [08:21] my networkmanager can't detect AP, but if i use kismet i can. i'm using madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007 driver [08:21] sorry...ppc [08:21] lol brandonmpace low graphics mode :D [08:21] FAJALOU: that´s loads of fun ;) [08:21] pan_: there's the ifup/ifdown scripts [08:21] P041NX, I'm gonna be honest, I don't know what it means to "obtain the /dev/sdx" nor what it would mean to "extract from the dmsg" -- gawd I hate being a ubu-noob [08:22] pan: sudo ppoe config maybe? [08:22] BioTeck: What do you need help with? [08:22] lol up [08:22] oh wth [08:22] kevin__: but normaly the usb attached disk is hot pluggable, su if you are really into hub raid like me, a script to keep the usb drive up/down is best. [08:22] live cd [08:22] zuhr1: what is the exact wireless chipset?

[08:23] and ap [08:23] and dhclient ath0? [08:23] why i can know my chipset [08:23] kevin__: dmesg keeps a log of system, that that includes attached/detached disks. not the best way, but if you've lost the /dev/sda etc,etc, you can look it up [08:23] !install | BioTeck [08:23] BioTeck: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways.

[08:24] brandonmpace, I'm using a Western Digital External USB HD, and I want to saftely remove the device by stopping it before detaching. [08:24] zuhr1: you need to look up the specs for you laptop [08:25] oh.. i followed those tutorials and didnt work [08:25] acer aspire 4520 [08:25] my main pc takes 2 minutes to boot from power on to firefox. old crappy laptop does the same in 1:22 [08:25] kevin__, to stop a device open terminal and "sudo umount /media/drivename" [08:25] kevin__: open up nautilus, places home or whatever. then in the left side you see the device listed? [08:25] sudo umount the destination of the mount [08:25] kevin__: Unmount it before removing it, right click on the icon and select or unmount DEVICE in a terminal [08:25] kevin__:so if you have a partition, say ext3, then before umounting the device, you should obtain the /dev/sdx thing from mount, and preform both umount and hdpam from a single script [08:25] kevin__: does it show up on your desktop? [08:25] err [08:25] kevin__: Umount [08:25] brandonmpace, yes, the device is listed [08:26] kevin__: if it does, right click> unmount [08:26] lol, 5 ppl helping kevin__ at the same time, he will explooooode [08:26] if u mount like desktop then u sudo umount ~/Desktop [08:26] i try getting the files and put them on the system folder as my tutorial says and all i got was a error message and when back to mac os [08:26] Winston_1mithVT, after unmounting the image, it still RUNS. I can still access it and the disk within still spins => not safe to remove. [08:26] kevin__: if you want to get the /dev/sdx thing from dmesg, yo have to find the sg with right number os there is a can of worms waiting, and it's not the proper way to do it anyway. [08:26] brandonmpace: ok, thanks. is there a way to do this on the console? what files need to edited to allow root on a tty? [08:26] :: EXPLODING :: [08:26] Daft_Punk, hey.. long time no see :P [08:26] la5lia [08:26] B3z3rk3r, hi [08:26] Gau and you can't get decent aid?

[08:27] pan: Winston_1mithVT, everyoene pls use nicks in answers so ppl will catch up with q&a [08:27] err sorry wrong chan people [08:27] brandonmpace: what do you suppose i should do? [08:27] lost all desktop icons, with no response on anything in the home folder ??? [08:27] !offtopic | Winston_1mithVT [08:27] Winston_1mithVT: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

(never had to) [08:27] i have an issue with amsn, i NEVER see dialogue boxes popup when someone signs in/sends msg, and nor do i hear sounds when someone msg me... :( i checked preferences too [08:27] brandonmpace, after unmounting the image, it still RUNS. I can still access it and the disk within still spins => not safe to remove. [08:27] FAJALOU: does installing the ati driver make the other resolutions show? [08:28] Daft_Punk: I know I'm already there, just forgot to switch channels [08:28] Alos lost all icons after removing all java in packet manager. reinstall was my solution. [08:28] kevin__: go to the /media folder and tell me the name of the device [08:28] i don't really need other reses (and no not really) the res i am at is good. i don't need more, and compiz still doesn't work on it,,, am going to see about getting some help on #ati [08:28] o wow [08:28] hold on... [08:28] kevin__, if you unmount the device, the hard drive will still be RUNNING, and if you click on a bookmark or mount it again it will be accessible. If you "sudo umount /media/harddrive" and go to the /media/ folder and you dont see it anymore it is safe to remove the USB of the hard drive, then power it off [08:28] damn .020 kernel upgrade messed my sound card too [08:28] now we are back to like 640*800 [08:29] Wireless should work out-of-the-box with Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex (as from kernel 2.6.27-1-generic) [08:29] it does not on -3 [08:29] it is -- a lousy upgrade [08:29] FAJALOU: I think you may have to wait until it is properly implemented with your chipset I´m guessing === joshux_ is now known as joshux [08:29] hello i just downloaded tremulous, and its an installerx86.run [08:29] i guess, but what happened? i was at 024*768 and now i'm at really really big [08:29] how do i install the game? [08:29] keep finding stuff not working [08:30] raulh: ./installerx86.run [08:30] how :\ [08:30] kevin__: Daft_Punk is correct [08:30] prolly went back to mesa drivers? [08:30] raulh, open terminal, go to the folder which the .run is contained in and run the command icedtea gave you [08:30] FAJALOU: I believe so [08:30] does anyone have a link to a page for commonly downloaded/restricted packages (codecs, useful programs, etc.)? [08:31] okey my adapter is work properly before. but this problem cause after install rt76 driver [08:31] its on my desktop [08:31] alrite then [08:31] so i will reinstall the envy-ng stuff; just so i can get my res back [08:31] Daft_Punk, brandonmpace, P041NX got it, thanks for the help gents! [08:31] what is the command to force fsck to check hds on boot? [08:31] raulth: copy entire path from browser [08:31] Daft_Punk: hevin wants to preform hdparm -y after unmounting the disk. it's to spin down the motor safely... normaly i use a script, but kevin has aready unmounted with out knowing what hdd it is [08:31] vgambit: http://www.medibuntu.org/ [08:31] raulth: and use console [08:31] Pirate_Hunter: sudo touch /forcefsck [08:31] raulh, open terminal (applications, accessories, terminal) then go to your desktop which should be "cd /home/username/Desktop/" and then put the command "./installerx86.run" [08:32] P041NX, the disk stopped finally.. probably from lack of use. [08:32] !fsck | FAJALOU [08:32] FAJALOU: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [08:32] thanks, brandonmpace [08:32] FAJALOU: i wish for fsck to check all hds on boot not just one [08:32] install | ibook [08:32] vgambit: you´re welcome :) [08:32] see flannel's ubottu thread above [08:32] atheros ar5bxb63 [08:32] !mac | Bioteck [08:32] Bioteck: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [08:32] i am using gutsy.when i switch on the wifi , the wifi notifier led on my keyboard does not light up! i have to login in windows and switch on the wifi and then start ubuntu.

[08:42] kill -9 [08:42] i just tested alpha 6 and decided to upgrade early [08:42] seems stable [08:42] what is the difference between ubuntu, edubuntu and kubuntu? [08:42] vgambit: what's your videocard? pleez [08:42] brandonmpace, only a .udev/ [08:42] can anyone help me download Tremulous? my add/remove dosn't contain it. [08:42] raulh: go to system> administration and look for software sources [08:43] well, the entire system was unresponsive [08:43] Flannel: I know but it´s probably good to check [08:43] CentHOGG some intel gma crap [08:43] Daft_Punk: on what level? Also, these sorts of questions might be better in #ubuntu-offtopic [08:43] the restart button? [08:43] vgambit: you could also do pkill processname [08:43] vgambit: yeh i'm ati x1900xt [08:43] damnicks: rap her but toy! [08:43] Daft_Punk: On a package level, the default packages installed (you can move one to the other and v.v., etc). [08:43] Flannel, on the level of how xp is different than vista sort of thing [08:43] icedtea I couldn't open anything [08:43] vgambit: right click on the panel in an empty spot. and click add to panel, look for kill or something, it´s there [08:43] and when im here what do i do? [08:43] Daft_Punk: Other than that, Kubuntu has KDE, Ubuntu has gnome, Edubuntu is an educational add on, on top of whatever you're using. [08:44] the restart button does it all! [08:44] I inserted a DVD while totem was open and my system just kinda put on the brakes [08:44] vgambit: did you try ctrl+alt+f1 to drop to a tty [08:44] the restart button is the easy button@ [08:44] no [08:44] ! [08:44] anusrape: Please change your nick [08:44] kevin__:the /dev/sdx is the device name, it can be /dev/sda, /dev/sdb... /dev/sdx was for example. I have /dev/sda mounted to /media/DATA, so when i want to unmount /media/DATA, i lookup mount to find the /dev/xxx thing, and use that to umount and hdparm -y ... hope that helps [08:44] find the commaneds [08:44] Flannel, so are the main differences just visual and default repos? because you can install KDE packages on ubuntu etc... and im guessing the edubuntu has more resources for education? [08:44] hehe [08:44] it seems to be fine now, but I would like to know for the future [08:44] vgambit: ctrl alt backspace [08:44] vgambit: yes [08:44] vgambit: there is no futures [08:44] Daft_Punk: the repositories are the same. The default packages installed are different. [08:45] brandonmpace is there a way to simply close the offending programs? [08:45] vgambit: thats a good last resort if the gui stops responding [08:45] vgambit: make peace or die trying [08:45] vgambit: yes [08:45] xkill [08:45] I mean when the entire system is unresponsive [08:45] Flannel, so for someone that doesnt know a lot about linux in general, what should you suggest to start with between ubuntu/kubuntu [08:45] Daft_Punk: Edubuntu is an add on, and yes, it contains educational software (of course, its available for regular installs too, you don't have to use Edubuntu to install the peices) [08:45] vgambit: go to system>administration> system monitor [08:45] Srsly tho, will my raid array work in ubuntu without any haggling? I had to slip drivers to xp, but vista used it spot on wiht no drivers [08:45] vgambit: i know not what has happened until now -bafdish [08:45] everything was lagging quite a bit and I couldn't really do anything [08:45] Daft_Punk: Ubuntu is a good way of starting === Dani is now known as Guest3790 [08:45] It's the intel ich9r [08:45] i still can't download tremulous from add/remove [08:46] Flannel, ok thx... [08:46] vgambit: if you go to the processes tab and see the proccess taking all your cpu. then kill it [08:46] vgambit: right click [08:46] sudo apt-get tremulous? [08:46] kevin__: cat /proc [08:46] trying hitting tab after typing that [08:46] raulh: go to http://www.medibuntu.org/ [08:46] P041NX, yea, that clears it up -- i always thought that referred to only the main HD on which my O.S. runs. I didn't know my hot-pluggable removable HD fell into that category. [08:46] google for a repo for tremulous [08:46] kevin__: cat /proc/mounts |awk '{if( $2 == "/media/DATA"){print $1}}' this gets the device name you need to preform the umount and hdparm [08:47] raulh: and see if they have it in their repo [08:47] anyone here use owa with evolution-exchange [08:47] Guys, what 2 do, if my ubuntu recognizes my external hdd usb drive, but gives error when i try to open it? [08:47] raulh, open terminal and do "sudo apt-get install tremulous" [08:47] CORE-X: whats the error? [08:47] brandonmpace if i leave it switched on will it detect wifi?? but when i do conneect to a network the led becomes stable! [08:47] w8 [08:47] thank you draft [08:48] znik: the led works in linux? [08:48] wah boso inggrise ngewes... podo kursus neng endi yo... [08:48] is this the official ubuntu support channel? [08:48] http://tremulous.net/files/ try just downloading it [08:48] !offtopic | anusrape [08:48] anusrape: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [08:48] (12:48:10 AM) zafle: http://tremulous.net/files/ try just downloading it [08:48] hi i got a problem that i might be better off asking somewhere else buti thought id ask quickly here first.... im trying to configure this theme for gnome ( http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Shiki-Colors?content=86717 ) , but while the main menu along the top turns black, the menus that drop down are still grey..... and there seems to be other irregularities ..... anyone got a idea what might cause that? [08:48] i did [08:48] its a .run file [08:48] P041NX, I found this in that listing: /dev/sdb1 /media/WD\040Passport fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other 0 0 [08:48] kevin__: something like HD_TO_REMOVE=`cat /proc/mounts |awk '{if( $2 == "/media/DATA"){print $1}}'`; umount ${HD_TO_REMOVE} ; hdparm -y ${HD_TO_REMOVE} should do it in once [08:48] i couldn't open it :( [08:48] Guh, oops, IRC client was scrolled up.... [08:48] brandonmpace lets talk on IM [08:49] iki neng jowo opo neng enggris???.... hallo ono wong jowone ra yo... aku kesepian nih... [08:49] !id | Guest3790 [08:49] Guest3790: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [08:49] well my ubuntu is in my language, so it would sond like - cannot add source [08:49] brandonmpace: i ended up purging envyng, fell back ont the original, which works. [08:49] kevin__: and change the /media/DATA part to where you always mount the partition to [08:49] wifi is still acting up a little though .... [08:49] znik: k which one [08:49] so now my qstion to you bot is.. does Ubuntu support mac with no cdrom? [08:49] FAJALOU: well at least it works :) [08:49] raulh, did that work for the game install? [08:49] anyone? :) [08:49] downloading right now [08:50] what are the chances of my treo bein detected by linux :O? [08:50] vgambit - it is the same [08:50] brandonmpace: ya i am on the computer... i guess i'll just spruce it up w/ emerald, and minimal compiz w/e lol. but wifi is having difficulty connecting to my personal network; it's connecting to a different one -.- [08:50] tremulous is 100mb so it might take a while to install :o [08:50] raulh: actually palms can be supported [08:50] takes me like 4mins :$ [08:50] ok thanks brandon [08:50] raulh: add/remove and in the search type palm [08:51] how do I get my desktop icons back ???? [08:51] i think [08:51] tyvm [08:51] kevin__: if /media/WD\040Passport is the path you always mat your external hdd, then yes, /dev/sdb1 it what you use. remenber, the /dev/sdxx part changes by the order you plug in the usb device, so always obtain it from mount [08:51] raulh: yw [08:51] wx9j_: open up a terminal and type nautilus [08:51] its cannot mount volume error :( === _neversfelde is now known as neversfelde [08:51] ok, woooo, playing with compiz [08:51] iki neng indonesia opo neng enggrish.. kok podo ngoceh bhs inggris kebeh.. [08:52] question: as me being a support technician for hardware and windows based operating systems, I had the sense to install linux to learn more about it... my question is, why is it so addictive? I haven't slept in days... [08:52] Yekyaa[Ubuntu]: always fun ;) [08:52] fuck [08:52] i just spent the last 2 hours and i'm still not fully satisfied but i'm thoroughly impressed [08:52] brandonmpace on this irc itself ! [08:52] forget vista and aero man [08:52] P041NX, sdb1 refers to the mounting point? [08:52] !wtf | CentHOGG [08:52] CentHOGG: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [08:52] i've got about every plugin running that wouldn't give me a headache and there's still more left :) [08:52] Daft_Punk: I´ve been doing this for four years and still don´t know lol [08:52] engrish? [08:52] icedtea, it said cannot be used now due to unexpcted error [08:52] i need that Dodge plugin though lol [08:53] kevin__:sdb1 can be read as scsi disk b on partition 1, and yes, that gets mounted to a path [08:53] Anybody know how to turn two ext3 partitions into one? [08:53] kevin__:a usb disk normaly get emulated as a scsi disk [08:53] sullyva86: LVM [08:53] oh haha brandon [08:53] gparted [08:53] malangnya nasibku.. aku tersesat.. [08:53] 8.0.4 already has gnome pilot (palm) program [08:53] Guest3790: /join #ubuntu-id [08:53] zafle: I tried that it just allows me to shrink them not combine. [08:54] P041NX, are you a hardware guru? you seem to know so much!!! [08:54] kevin__: on linux, you can map a partition by the name it's given, by using the -U option on mount [08:54] Flannel: What's LVM? [08:54] kevin__:just a user. [08:54] sullyva86: It gives you te abilities to abstract away your disks. [08:54] whats the command to view mounted drives [08:54] ? [08:55] Guest3790: Ohayoo gozaimasu! [08:55] try moving all the data to one partition then resize the other one down till you get it all over to one the delete the second partition [08:55] maybe he'll understand japanese better :D [08:55] flannel:wow sounds cool from this post i just read but does that mean i have to reformat them as lvm or something? [08:55] hello, I'm trying to connect to my own personal protected wifi with ubuntu, however it does not want to get connected [08:56] kevin__: for what you want to accomplish, you may want to write a script. 1 to map a external drive to the same path every time you reboot. This can be done by ext2label to give the partition a name. [08:56] I've tried it with unprotected networks and it works fine [08:56] sullyva86: Unfortunately, yeah. If youre looking to do it now, can I suggest moving /home to the second drive, and keeping the other one for your system [08:56] I'm using wicd btw === Akuma34 is now known as Akuma [08:57] kevin__:once the partition has a name, you can look it up from the name, and won't have to go into the can of worms situation you were into. [08:57] "If the partitions are contiguous, just back them up, delete all three [08:57] partitions, create a new partition using all the space, create top-level [08:57] directories as needed, and then restore from the backup tape." http://www.usenet-forums.com/archive/index.php/t-74539.html === ekimus_ is now known as Ek|mu5 [08:57] zafle: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:58] what is the package name called to fix the sound in flash? [08:58] Flannel: moving it to the 2nd partition why? Then won't i have to change the path in all my apps? [08:58] flash util something [08:59] sullyva86: Nope. Partitions are completely abstracted away, so you wont even know the difference (as far as usage is concerned) [08:59] can anyone tell me how to check if the "murrine" gdk engine is installed/running? [08:59] !who | case^ [08:59] case^: 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 :) [08:59] mount -L ${name-fo-partition} /path/to/mounit-it will allow you to mount the partiotn [08:59] P041NX, okay, I've documented all your advice, now I need to go over it and learn how to apply it. thanks for your help. [08:59] !home | sullyva86 [08:59] sullyva86: Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [08:59] kevin__: no problem. [08:59] jin: just double checking package name [09:00] kevin__: Need any other info? [09:00] sullyva86: That page walks ou through it, but assumes you're moving to a separate partition (on the same drive) instead of a partition on another drive. [09:00] Flannel: So since nothing is on the 2nd partiton i just reformat that partition as lvm? [09:00] Flannel: It is the same drive [09:00] sullyva86: Nah, LVM will only work if both are lvm-ized === Mavrik_ is now known as Mavrik- [09:00] sullyva86: ah. ! You can just remove the second partition and expand your current partition [09:00] yes [09:00] Flannel: So I'm f'ed then I should just mount it? [09:01] P041NX, yea...what you're telling me is pretty much greek to me, but perhaps when I'm a better linux/unix/ubuntu user, it will all be a piece of cake. No that abuot covers my problem. (and if all else fails I can always turn my cpu off...then unplug the device hehe). [09:01] you cant resize a mounted partition [09:01] sullyva86: What? no. Just... boot a liveCD and expand your linux partition. [09:01] Flannel: I tried to do that before in gparted. I had a bunch of freespace from shrinking my vista partition but couldn't figure it out lol [09:01] anybody here have experience with samba and AD with sites configured? [09:01] Flannel: i'd use a livecd [09:01] sullyva86: Feel free to ask the channel for help when you need it. But that would be your best course of action. [09:02] zafle: That's what I said. [09:02] Flannel: It would only allow me to create a new one or shrink my current ubuntu partition. [09:02] jin: libflashsupport [09:02] http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [09:02] sullyva86: you first have to delete the other one. Then expand [09:02] kevin__:yea, true. I had to learn this stuff because I was building a large file server, and wanted to turn off my external usb disk when i'm not using the fileserver. [09:02] Flannel: you could also just backup your drive and start fresh with 8.10 :) [09:03] what drogram can i use to play "AVI " movies on ubuntu? [09:03] totem [09:03] zafle: Except that wouldn't be helpful. Please be helpful in this channel. [09:03] when i click Visualisation in Rhythmbox, my Hardy Heron freeze beyond repair [09:03] <_LiNuX_> hi to all [09:03] can anyone help me sorting out this problem [09:03] Flannel: Is there some other button i pick for expand. Cuz it was just freespace and wouldn't let me expand the ubuntu partition for some reason. [09:03] ono wong indonesiane ora yo... kok podo ngewes enggris kabeh... [09:03] P041NX: you do not need the -L after mount necessarily [09:03] !english | Guest3790 [09:03] Guest3790: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [09:04] hiiiiiii to every one ................... [09:04] kevin__::i give all my disks a name, and keep it pluged into the usb. using mount/umount vit tha script to spinup/spindown [09:04] P041NX, this was one of the reasons I made the switch from Windows to Linux -- much of the usefulness of the kernal is given to the user (hence the "sudo" command). [09:04] what program can i use to play "AVI" movies? [09:04] P041NX, yea, it makes a lot of sense to do it that way. [09:04] sullyva86: well, you can only expand ext3 partitions backwards, not fowards directly. But gparted should be able to do the workarounds automatically to resize whereever. [09:04] <_LiNuX_> i have sownload and install Downloader for X but when i put the rapidshare download links then nothing happen....Is any other program like jdownloader UsDowloader..? [09:04] ozkelligirl, vlc media player plays about everything [09:05] brandonmpace: the -L is there because I mount/unmount all usb external diskas manually via the name. [09:05] where can i get it? [09:05] how do I enable DMA? [09:05] it's in the repos, synaptic or apt-get [09:05] What are some network manager alternatives to knetworkmanager [09:05] !who | ozkelligirl and HappyHater [09:05] ozkelligirl and HappyHater: 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 :) [09:05] ok [09:05] I'm typing sudo hdparm /dev/hdc but it says no such file or directory [09:05] (For use in KDE, obviously) [09:05] what can i use to convert .wav to ,mp3? [09:05] P041NX: ah I just thought you know maybe make it as easy as possible for kev [09:06] anyone plz tell me why my synaptic is not showing vmware package?? Isn't it available in the repositories??? [09:06] Mr_Fixit: soundconverter or soundkonverter, both in the repos [09:06] Flannel: I read something about having to move the partition in front of the free space be able to expand it so I guess i'll try that thanks. [09:06] The-Compiler, I hit tab so you'd know I was telling you piss off [09:06] yea cool thanks [09:06] check [09:06] !language | HappyHater (:D) [09:06] HappyHater (:D): Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[09:06] !vmware | indian_munnda [09:06] indian_munnda: VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", only for Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers [09:06] brandonmpace, hehe thanks for lookin out [09:07] Hello, how do I troubleshoot Visualization Problem in Rhythmbox [09:07] Flannel: i have hardy installed in my PC, so it means i can't install vmware?? [09:07] brandonmpace: kevin was lost because he couldn't find the disk path. I know i had the same problem before, and the solution was giving the disk partition a name [09:07] indian_munnda: I didn't say that. Read the wiki page. [09:07] play a region 2 dvd on my region 1 laptop dvd drive [09:07] wariskampar: what is the problem with visuals [09:07] I changed the region to 2 using regionset but it's still wonky [09:07] when i press the button, my system will freeze [09:07] it only plays in VLC, and doesn't display any video once I select a title [09:08] hi.. where to put a script to get it executed when xorg starts? is it in /etc/X11/xinit ? [09:08] and the audio is really jerky [09:08] brandonmpace: once there is a name to the partition, it can be looked up pritty easly [09:08] wariskampar: what visual? mine used to do that with goom on fullscreen [09:08] wariskampar: try turning size down [09:08] The-Compiler, for soundconverter what do i need to add for mp3 encoder? [09:08] i can not even fire up the visual [09:08] Mr_Fixit: lame i think [09:08] maybe some component missing [09:09] is there a way to set all files in a folder as root write only, anyone read, but still be able to save files, im using this for version control to keep myself from overwriting. [09:09] because I just uninstall amarok [09:09] wariskampar: strange. try a reinstall? and try libvisual pacakge? [09:09] libvisual package? in Sypnatic? [09:09] rebel_kid: You'd remove the file's write permissions, but keep write permissions on the folder. [09:09] vgambit: did you install medibuntu? if so, install libdvdcss2 from synaptic [09:10] I did both [09:10] flannel, then i would have to set the permissions everytime i saved a new file right? [09:10] i a not able to connect to internet using command "sudo dsl-provider"....... every time i have to reconfigure using command '' sudo pppoeconf".....what might be the problem? [09:10] rebel_kid: Everytime you created a new file. [09:10] ' [09:10] The-Compiler, actually it was gstreamer something.. but thanks anyways.. [09:10] flannel, guess that will have to do [09:10] rebel_kid: sudo does it all [09:11] badfish: ??? [09:11] badfish: Please be helpful [09:11] rebel_kid: you might want to read up on unionfs or aufs to do what you want, a copy-on-write with writeprotect on the lower parts. [09:11] if you have gnome you don't have to set anything EVERY time you do something [09:11] @zafle, libvisual was already installed in my system [09:12] p041nx: ok, thanks for now i think i will just stick to slapping myself everytime i overwrite my old versions :) [09:12] wariskampar: oh nvm... try a reinstall of rhythmbox. [09:12] there's a text editor that remembers commands [09:12] wariskampar: via right click in synaptic [09:13] you don't even need a control key [09:13] if I reinstall do my playlist effected [09:13] i mean does it be erased all together [09:13] depends on what drive it's on and how it's formatted [09:13] rebel_kid:unionfs is installed default on ubuntu, It's what I use, and not that hard to setup. [09:13] was it there when you installed ubuntu? [09:14] cuz if it was, it'll be there afterware [09:14] afterward* [09:14] wariskampar: i'm not sure but they should be saved in you config file. save them to desktop to be sure [09:14]  i am not able to connect to internet using command "sudo dsl-provider"....... every time i have to reconfigure using command '' sudo pppoeconf".....what might be the problem? [09:14] wariskampar: Do you have a separate homedir? [09:14] jignesh: can you connect using the livecd? [09:14] firefox, livecd? [09:14] @flannel, yup [09:15] http://treefort.icculus.org/armyops/armyops250-linux.run [09:15] is the game [09:15] hey guys. did anyone noticed really slow performance of vino too? [09:15] but it's text format to me [09:15] how come? [09:15] wariskampar: Then all of your personal files (including playlist, I assume) will be in there, and you'll be fine. [09:15] Flannel: is there any substitute available for vmware in Hardy?? [09:15] join #wicd [09:15] ok..i'll re-install now then [09:15] sorry [09:15] indian_munnda: You'd have to read that wiki page and find out. I don't know.

[09:22] i still think that kde 3.5 is better than kde 4.1 [09:23] i'm not a big fan of KDE [09:23] Nece228: Discussions belong in #ubuntu-offtopic, this is for support, thanks. [09:23] reminds me too much of a work station and not a PC [09:23] i think kde 4 has huge potential [09:23] just needs time to develop [09:23] so can you please release two releases - kubuntu with kde 4.1 (by default) and kubuntu with kde 3.5? [09:23] jig.flan: gives no damnz [09:23] just like kubuntu 8.04 had kubuntu kde4 and kubuntu [09:23] noutjes: just disable them and check? I don't think you need to remove.. [09:24] Nece228: That'd be a #kubuntu topic, or #kubuntu-kde4 [09:24] does anyone else have any idea of how to fix my dvd problem? [09:24] Nece228: we aren't developers ;) We are just volunteers and useres ;) [09:24] nootjes: They are in tools->add-ons [09:24] disable what mohan34u ? [09:24] numbers are nada [09:24] did anyone noticed really slow performance of vino too? [09:24] it would be cool if during the install kubuntu had a checkbox and you could chose which one [09:24] vgambit: not w/o any problem :D [09:24] i uninstalled them already mohan34u ... no help [09:24] I get no video, for the most part, and the audio is jerky [09:25] the only video that loads is the title screen in VLC; all other media players just crash [09:25] vgambit: whats the problem exactly?

[11:18] <- bad memories of lilo from my early gentoo days [11:19] sunru, maximum compatibility with legacy os'es I guess (don't steal too many primary partitions, windows might need them) [11:19] zafle: oh, can't wait to get off gentoo and restore my sanity :) [11:19] runemaste: What program does not list your ide hard disk drive ? [11:19] Hello [11:19] sunru: yeah its been awhile i just remember having a giant stack of papers and compile times on my 500mhz p3 took days [11:19] 3 days to install gentoo [11:20] ouch! [11:20] Engelus: Hello! [11:20] i actually went from debian -> mandrake -> gentoo (.oO(HULP!) [11:20] zafle, bad thing is, it *still* takes 3 days to install gentoo :) [11:20] sunru, so you moved backwards ;) [11:20] indeed [11:20] oh god, atleast its a learning experience compared to ubuntus easyness* [11:20] bullgard4: lshw -class disk [11:20] and there is no trace of it in /var/log/messages [11:21] yes but i learned on slackware, gentoo was a bad call. [11:21] hi i made a update with adept-manager (icon in kicker) it crashed with sig11 after installing all before getting the message that all was installed sucessfully (there is a small progress abr, it loads often a window when there is a new kubuntu version to upgrade), there it crashed [11:21] theres my sata 160gb [11:21] but not my ide [11:21] zafle, that's true. As is walking barefoot through open fire. You'll quickly learn you never want to do it again ;) [11:21] how to find out if the system is ok? is this bad? [11:21] The_ManU_212, hmm, that doesn't look too healthy. Can you still open up a konsole? [11:21] anyhow, on with the fdiskin [11:22] haha. i do miss the super tailored feel of it though. just not all the broken packages and weird loops holes... #emerge>sleep>emerge>use [11:22] Seveas yep, i use standard ubuntu sources and wine nothing else [11:23] The_ManU_212, ok, then you can run these commands (in this order) to restore some sanity. Pastebin all output please so I can see how bad it is. [11:23] sudo dpkg --configure -a [11:23] sudo apt-get -f install [11:23] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [11:24] i have a question i know it might sound silly do they offer an school for Ubuntu or class to learn this ? [11:24] runemaste: Please nopaste the output of ' lshw -class disk'. [11:24] lacy, there is training material available === mr is now known as Guest81027 [11:25] lacy, https://help.ubuntu.com/ has documentation, I'm trying to find the training material. Hang on [11:26] lacy, http://www.ubuntu.com/training [11:26] Seveas: sudo dpkg --configure -a -> new prompt, sudo apt-get -f install, install remove and upgrade all 0 then prompt, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -> nothing to upgrade /same as -f install [11:26] The_ManU_212, then all is fine :) [11:26] hi [11:27] anyone knows why code::blocks is not included in ubuntu's or debian's repositories? [11:27] The_ManU_212, just to be sure, run this: sudo update-initramfs -u so your initramfs is definitely ok [11:27] it's gpl-licensed as far as i know [11:27] Seveas ok and then my system is 100% ok? [11:27] !info codeblocks | ubuntu_ [11:27] ubuntu_: Package codeblocks does not exist in hardy [11:27] The_ManU_212, yes [11:27] Hello, when installing Ubuntu from CD, how can I tell it *not* to show me its splashscreen, but instead to show me all of what it is doing... In grub you have to remove "quiet splash", but here it's not grub, it's booting from the CD...

[11:28] lacy: If you want to get really serious I suggest taking a course in unix, if you just want to be able to use Ubuntu as a Desktop machine you don't need to learn unix, but I highly recommend the experience :) [11:28] can anyone tell me an Mandriva CHannel? [11:28] has anyone had much experience with virtualbox [11:28] The_ManU_212, doesn't matter much, but this was easier for me to explain as I don't know adept-manager :) [11:28] knut, #mandriva perhaps?

I think the /dev/sd* changed for the disk to a different disk which is why [11:44] ahhh [11:44] hmm [11:44] Hi #ubuntu! The screen dimming on my gutsy install is behaving oddly [11:44] It shouldn't be dimming at all on AC power [11:44] Jordan_U, have both osx and linux running ? I was wondering if it was worth getting rid of osx [11:45] turtles...hang on [11:45] ShOOnyata: You should keep OSX, if nothing else because firmware updates are only installable through it [11:45] turtles, just looked at my mdadm.conf file [11:45] it uses UUIDs to identify [11:45] hmmm [11:45] very odd [11:45] I' [11:46] hello from the SoftwareFreedomDay 08 in Dublin :D [11:46] can I check the disks to make sure the UUIDs are correct / and or modify the mdadm.conf file? [11:46] what type of RAID? [11:46] cbx33: raid 5 [11:46] hmmm [11:46] I only have a raid1 [11:47] bullgard4: how come only one hard disk has shown up? [11:47] you'd presumably need to get the raid working [11:47] to modify the array [11:47] I'm assuming nothing works? [11:47] it doesn't boot as degraded? [11:48] cbx33: not sure how to tell [11:48] well [11:48] it doesn't boot? [11:48] i've lost the network manager icon in my menu bar. does any one know how to get it back. It dosn't seem to be in the Add to panel menu. [11:48] Is it allowed to ask a specific here that describes a problem I have in Kubuntu? [11:48] the array was just a data array, my ubuntu still boots but all I see is unallocated disks in gparted [11:48] ahhh ok [11:48] hang on turtles [11:48] runemaste: If you have two hard disks and only one shows up in http://www.nopaste.com/p/aEKobBfybb, then there is a hardware problem with the second hard disk. May be, you did not set the jumpers on your motherboard correctly. [11:49] Jordan_U, Sorry VirtualBox killed my ubuntu session [11:49] turtles, [11:49] do sudo fdisk /dev/sdX [11:49] hello, whats the formula swap partition size again? [11:49] Jordan_U, did you triple boot (osx / ubuntu / windows) ? [11:50] sunru, it used to be 1.5 x RAM [11:50] Shoonyata: No, just OSX and Linux [11:50] turtles, where X is the hdd identifier? [11:50] sunru: if you want to hibernate (suspend to disk) swap == ram [11:50] Hi [11:50] How do I add package repositories to apt-get? [11:50] and then when it comes up with the prompt [11:50] type p [11:50] if i just plug the ide in it works but if i plug in both only the sata works... does that really mean hardware problem? :( [11:50] Does anybody know if webcams in yahoo messenger or voice chat work in ubuntu?

[14:48] jrib, backup what? === elky is now known as elkbuntu [14:48] Everything you don't want to lose on your computer [14:48] Tray this once agin: "sudo gksudo displayconfig-gtk" [14:49] arvind_khadri: your root partition :) [14:49] arvind_khadri Every time you edit partitions there is a risk of something going wrong. [14:49] If it DID go wrong, all gone files [14:49] erUSUL, how do i do that :) [14:49] arvind_khadri: partimage for example [14:49] should nautilus detect all changes done in a directory? for example if I do touch foo, should nautilus update the directory contents automatically and show the file foo? [14:50] anyone know how or why evolution thinks its offline when it starts? [14:51] erUSUL, thanks [14:52] Unable to mount the volume 'UDF Volume' error in hardy any help [14:52] My English is not good [14:52] GZ_Hang: maybe you can ask in your native language channel. where are you from? === Lyk4n8rwp0S is now known as kalakouentin [14:53] david2323 --- tried it again as you listed and still getting command not found for displayconfig-gtk. [14:53] It was not [14:53] terminator: sudo apt-get install displayconfig-gtk [14:53] terminator: actually, I just say you mentioned you are using intrepid. You are in the wrong channel. You need to ask for help in #ubuntu+1, not here [14:54] please help [14:54] I'm doing some partitioning; if I get rid of my swap partition, can I use a different swap just by altering my fstab, or will it be more complex than that? [14:54] !helpme | netdevil [14:54] netdevil: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [14:54] Hi could some one please help small but annoying problem been searching every were, but not sure the best key words to ask in google, firefox was working fine till today, now when i open a page it seems to be too big for the screen, ie can not see the X to close it or minimize seems to also cover the ubuntu panels, grateful if some one could help with this [14:54] China [14:54] Chinese people [14:54] !cn | GZ_Hang [14:54] GZ_Hang: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [14:54] Unable to mount the volume 'UDF Volume' [14:55] Thank you [14:55] Also, I've noticed how some distros ask how much RAM I have. Well, I'm planning to add another stick in - will I have to do anything to get that stick recognised? [14:55] MrD1, did you push F11, it makes firefox go full screen? try pressing it again.

[14:59] MrD1: please don't yell [14:59] quit [15:00] Unable to mount the volume 'UDF Volume' [15:00] Okay I have a weird story for you guys, and in the end Ubuntu crashed a few times and then now it's working again and I don't know why [15:00] can someone tell me why my evolution all of a sudden thinks it's offline everytime it starts, so I have to click the offline/online button.? [15:01] Joshooa: it might have recovered after 2 or 3 repetitions of fsck [15:01] hi, is there a way to send an x server a message from a different computer ? [15:01] Unable to mount the volume 'UDF Volume' [15:01] erUSUL, if i have a RAM of 4gb will a swap of 4gb be enough? [15:02] sriramoman: Well it never got that far [15:02] arvind_khadri: more than enough you only need that amount if you plan to hibernate to disk [15:02] arvind_khadri: if you are not going to hibernate then you need much less if any [15:02] sriramoman: I'm typing it all out though so just a sec [15:02] erUSUL, no i dont plan to do that ...but i want my machine to be superfast :) [15:03] koi hai [15:03] netdevil: main hoon. [15:03] So, my monitor is really dark, so I was playing with System > Admin > NVidia X Settings, the brightness, contrast, and gamma, and then I went to play WoW through Wine, and the text wouldn't display, and this part has happened before, and it's because I disabled "let window manager control windows" or something, so I turned that back on, but it didn't fix it. So I did ctrl + alt + backspace, and then when I went to login, I couldn't. It [15:04] want help with mounting udf voulme in ubuntu hardy [15:04] Wow that's big [15:04] yyou rfi cannel [15:04] netdevil: chand mein bhi bharatiya logo hain! [15:04] yes kyon nahi [15:04] do i have fetchmail installed with postfix? [15:04] can u help sriramoman [15:04] buona sera [15:05] Anybody have any idea? [15:05] Joshooa: next time you should pls specify that ur problem was with grphx card, coz it made me first think that you recovered (logically) broken hardisks. [15:05] opt1k: I don't know [15:05] netdevil: what help do u want? [15:05] i am unable to use data dvd in hardy [15:06] i get a error saying unable to mount udf volume [15:06] sriramoman: All i said was Ubuntu crashed, let me tell you, and my first line said, "I was playing with my NVidia settings".... [15:06] netdevil: did you write the data in windows using the default windows dvd writer itself? [15:06] it's my friends probably he did it using windows [15:06] quit [15:07] netdevil: Did he close it and everything in Windows? I've had that happen to me before [15:07] Hi all [15:07] i dunno [15:08] Joshooa: oh! graphix card is needed only to run X system properly. You can run cmd line without nvidea settings. so its not right to say ubuntu crashed. the reason may actually be that ubuntu detects and configures cards right if X starts up erratically more than few no. of times. [15:08] Anyone knows if grub-install detects vista automatically ? [15:08] netdevil: using windows writing s/w, the dvd you get is readable only in window$ system. not even in ur[at least mine] home player [15:09] netdevil: If you can, check it in windows and see if it'll read it ok, and maybe it's left open for another session so until Windows finishes that, it's not allowing linux to read it, possibly. At least that was apparently my case cause I went back to Windows, finished the session, and then it worked but I lost the rest of the space on the DVD, small loss though. [15:09] eight: kk [15:09] netdevil: i mean home dvd player. === _Lucretia__ is now known as _Lucretia_ [15:09] it reads ok in windows [15:09] d [15:09] netdevil: windows writing software doesn't use standardised formats like iso. [15:09] anyone who can tell me how can I improve the rate of download [15:09] ok [15:10] anyone on ubuntu?? [15:10] how? [15:10] so the problem is with windows i don't have to change any of my settings [15:10] netdevil: it will work via virtualbox, though. I have written few dvds this way and thats how i am telling u this so confidently. [15:10] zjyvista: get a better connection [15:11] is gcc not installed on the server version? [15:11] make? [15:11] sriramoman: Ok, Well, I couldn't do anything or log in and the way UBUNTU was running was blocking me from using my computer, and how could the graphics card cause ubuntu to not accept my password on the number pad with num lock on, like I always log in 100% of the times before? [15:11] randomlogic78: not by default I believe [15:11] netdevil: u'r right. what you can do NOW is copy it using nero or other s/w if ur frnd doesnt have windows in his system.

[15:12] I'm thinking about buying --> ASUS EN6200LE TC1G/TD/512M GeForce 6200LE 512MB [15:12] Joshooa: you can always use the failsafe kernel and edit the settings of the xorg.conf [15:12] !flash [15:12] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [15:12] I mean transparency and stuff like these to work [15:12] netdevil: come here regularly to learn new things. Hope you enjoy ur stay! [15:12] sriramoman: Okay what do I edit? How do you know that's the problem that caused it crash? [15:13] ok thanx a lot [15:13] Let me rephrase that... I'm thinking about buying -->ASUS EN6200LE TC1G/TD/512M GeForce 6200LE 512MB Is it ubuntu friendly? [15:13] ant2ne: yes should be [15:13] The flash player is junk, its good for youtube but I cannot get a website to work like in windows. And I really don't like the fact that I have to use mozilla firefox and flash with wine [15:14] Joshooa: best what you could do is get it from the backup file, mostly xorg.conf~ else insert live cd, note the setings and paste the changes. [15:14] IsTI37: you don't have to. you can use adobe flash with ubuntu [15:14] Hi [15:15] what's up, Jampiter [15:15] sriramoman: Again though, what at all makes you want to edit that file? [15:15] jrib, flash is working fine for youtube websites suck [15:15] I see black where it should be transparent [15:15] sriramoman: I see no logical explanation to jump to that and just change my xorg.conf [15:15] IsTI37: you may be using gnash instead of adobe's flash [15:15] anyone here know how to use emerald theme manager? i cant seem to figure out how to use one of the themes in the list [15:15] Is there a tool for easy remastering of Ubuntu? Preferably with a GUI, is there one which you choose which packages you want then burn? [15:15] !remaster [15:15] Interested in remastering the !Ubuntu !LiveCD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use Tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [15:16] is there an ubuntu-recommended server for evolution? i.e. open xchange, or maybe something else? [15:16] Joshooa: i felt that the reason for failure is only the graphics card and your experimentation. all the changes are made to xorg.conf file. [15:16] Alaskan_Dragon: http://openswitch.org/2008/04/28/how-to-enable-emerald-in-hardy-heron-804/ [15:16] I checked that already [15:16] sriramoman: But all I did was change my brightness and contrast [15:16] Is there anything better than the ones Ubottu gives? [15:16] sriramoman: I also changed settings withing Wine [15:17] legend2440, ty [15:17] is Ubuntu fine for setting LAMP in production? I know that Ubuntu is based on Debian, which is great. However, maybe there is some issues which I must be aware of? [15:17] sriramoman: Neither of those should effect my keyboard input though, so I think there's something else involved I was hoping someone might recognize symptoms [15:17] !lamp | Zielun [15:17] Zielun: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [15:18] Joshooa: i c. actually its not recommended to do any hardware based changes via wine, eg. installing drivers etc. [15:18] What does LDAP stand for?

[15:51] lol I figured as much [15:52] I couldnt pick up much [15:52] erUSUL: oops, sorry... sec.. [15:52] NCX001: maybe you run nvidia-config not under root? so it can't save config [15:52] NCX001: Do you have 2 PCI cards? is this an x86 system? [15:52] Excellent :) Thanks legend2440 [15:52] But I could pick up the word "period scheduler cron(I think)" [15:52] what do I do? [15:52] well I am able to change the setting on the nvidia card with nvida-settings but I can't edit the config for the other card with it [15:52] hey. I need an option in the ubuntu hardy alternate installer "use partition and create encrypted lvm". I'm not sure how I have to do it manually: if I create the LVM physical volume on a partition, then I don't have the encryption options! [15:52] hi i use ubuntu 8.04 on laptop [15:53] ? [15:53] PerfectEX: yes and yes [15:53] and i m asking about power top [15:53] athleone, in syslog try to find the text cron to look what is trying to launch [15:53] NCX001: what is the 'other card' chip-set? also nvidia? [15:53] has anyone else had trouble with the new ubuntu install disk ? [15:53] NCX001: hmm... most of my problems run into using PCI and AGP. Are they identical cards? [15:53] skeeel: What is syslog? [15:53] athleone: maybe boot into recovery mode and disable cron so you can investigate further? [15:54] athleone, it is a file in the /var/log directory [15:54] power top suggests solutions for me and i press key to answer it but when i restart powertop it suggest them again do i ahev to start powertop all time and how i can make the changes permanenr [15:54] the other card is a VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. ViRGE/DX or /GX according to lspci [15:54] skeeel is it syslog.0 ? [15:54] athleone: you can not disable cron forever as it performs basic housekeeping on linux systems [15:54] is any way to reset gnome-panels without terminal ? [15:54] and without resetting X [15:54] and it is a pci and agp I was mistaken [15:54] <_Zeus_> IsTI37: not that i know of [15:54] isnt ViRGE and ATI brand? [15:54] you must have a syslog athleone [15:54] <_Zeus_> IsTI37: what's wrong with terminal? [15:54] NCX001: what is the PCI ID? (lspci -nn | grep S3) [15:55] syslog.0 is a bit older [15:55] My desktop just broke [15:55] skeeel yeah, which one? [15:55] syslog :) [15:55] !resetpanels [15:55] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [15:55] 05:0e.0 [15:55] without terminal ? [15:55] terminal is dead [15:55] NCX001: AH, well I have yet to get PCI AND AGP to work. The system (as I understand it) is only designed to drive one (either or) [15:55] IsTI37: you can not launch one? [15:55] syslog.0 is the backup of a older syslog [15:55] skeeel syslog.0 ? [15:55] NCX001: no, that is the PCI bus location... the ID is towards the end of the line. show the entire line [15:55] athleone, NO just syslog [15:55] because I forgot to add a shortcut to desktop [15:56] IsTI37: alt + f2 run gnome-terminal [15:56] ohhhhhhhhhhhhh [15:56] skeeel thanks [15:56] alt+f is related to gnome panels because it not works [15:56] [5333:8a01] [15:56] f2 [15:56] is that it?

[15:58] cat file >anotherfile [15:58] jumpkick1: paste.ubuntu.com ;P [15:58] NCX001: You'll probably have to manually edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add the second device with supporting screen and monitor sections too [15:58] yep [15:58] athleone, do grep cron syslog [15:58] I was afraid of that, I think i was using that id instead of the bus location... I'll give it a try and let you know [15:58] http://paste.ubuntu.com/48592/ [15:58] Who knows where can I submit that there is no accesible console which works if gnome panels crash ?

It wont do other things that it SHOULD do either (like run 4 sticks of ram...) Im not worried about it at this point though. New board on the way.

[16:08] MSI-Wind: something graphical http://www.squirrelsql.org/ [16:08] someone has to add in ubuntu 8.10 a console somewhere else than gnome-panel [16:08] IntuitiveNipple: Well, I only use it for two programs (Sibelius and Premiere) so im not that upset. [16:08] or add a refresh somewhere [16:09] If it wasn't for the lag and the stupid crashes, Ubuntu would be perfect. [16:09] <_Zeus_> IsTI37: just press alt+f2...

I don't think its making any cash at all [16:34] ^/help [16:34] danbh_intrepid, they must be [16:34] some how [16:34] o0Chris0o: Did you login to the terminal with Ctrl_Alt+F1? after that you must stop the X server using "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" and *then* you can build and install the nvidia driver. Once it is built you can restart X with "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start". If that fails the system probably needs a restart ( sudo shutdown -r now). [16:35] this distro is unbelieveable [16:35] ahh ok [16:35] *hic [16:35] I'll give that a try IntuitiveNipple [16:35] MadHag: well, AFAIK, Mark Shuttleworth, the founder and very wealthy funder of this distro is saying the same thing. He is still trying to find a way to make Ubuntu profitable enough that he doesnt have to pay for it out of his own pocket. But this is getting ot... [16:36] lol [16:36] well, if I kill the init process or if i shutdown/restart, the display will show many colors, then it will be brighter and et the end its black :( [16:36] +at [16:36] hopefully mark doesn't run out of money and we always have ubuntu [16:36] it is good though and usually if you have a good product you can make a buck [16:37] is there a ubuntu chat? [16:37] !ot [16:37] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [16:37] even without him it would continue on [16:37] thanks [16:37] join/ #ubuntu.no [16:37] really? how? [16:37] does someone got a bootable usb stick? [16:38] yeah, persistant liveUSB? [16:38] is freedroid RPG a good game? [16:38] kafffe, it's /join #ubuntu-no [16:38] .j #ubuntu+1 [16:38] hardcore: do you see all these people, and the people that aren´t here, there are loads of developers, that´s how open source works [16:38] system restart required...brb [16:39] info__ try pendrivelinux.com for an instruction set [16:39] @ AnalLogic: doenst work, i also deactivated the slpash and quiet [16:39] thx.. [16:39] do yall think its a good idea to try alpha or just wait for beta? [16:39] no worries [16:40] wait 4 stable^^ [16:40] hardcore: the latest alpha (6) I have tried and it´s stable but still has the same 8.04 artwork [16:40] is there a path under /sys or /proc that points to $HOME ? [16:40] hardcore: there are always bugs though [16:40] anyone know if there is a way of getting an offline copy of the doucmentation? [16:41] Hi, I'm on a multi-OS system and I have been fiddling around with partitions and now my disklabel has been deleted or something, I can still my partitions on other OSes but I can't boot my OS partitions and gparted says that the disklabel is broken, what's wrong ? [16:41] guys, what to do, if each time i connect my USB HDD device, ubuntu adds another external hd icon on the desktop??? :/ [16:41] ilec: which documentation precisely? === twoa2_ is now known as Baramii [16:42] could anyone help me with my shutdown problem? :'( [16:43] nothin1: what is it? [16:43] the display shows instead of the shutdown some colors^^ [16:43] nothin1: you said it does shut down though... I would just leave it and hopefully an update fixes it [16:44] nothin1: upgrade your video driver if possible [16:44] nothin1: is it a laptop or desktop? [16:44] colors? like? [16:44] yea, but at the end it makes a loud "klaaaaaaaaak" [16:44] nothin1: are you on ati? [16:44] deskop [16:44] LAPTOPI [16:44] sry [16:44] lol [16:44] Amilo FSC m3438G [16:44] the current help documentation on the documentation page, i prefer a hard copy of the documentation. and when i get to installing it on my new machine i won't have avess to another one. [16:44] nothin1: ati video card? [16:44] *another machine that is [16:44] no Nvidia geforce Go 6800 [16:45] ? [16:45] i think [16:45] wanna see lspci ? [16:45] it may be some acpi problem, because on shutdown you hear that weird noise [16:45] Nvidia are over hyped, they just laid off 6500 emplyees [16:45] ati are the Linuw boys [16:46] new driver is great [16:46] non free but hey [16:46] * LimCore wants to get laid [16:46] not especially -off [16:46] *Linux [16:46] Anyone here logged in in launchpad and wants to nominate a bug ? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/272510 In intrepid they should add a Panel refresh command somewhere. [16:46] Launchpad bug 272510 in gnome-panel "gnome panel crashes and no way to restart it without console" [Undecided,New] [16:46] The klick is also when i shutdown windows, but its not so loud as in ubuntu [16:46] nothin1: in may be some hardware failure [16:46] what could I do ? [16:47] IsTI37: also ask #ubuntu-bugs [16:47] LimCore, laid is enough :) [16:47] Hi, my disklabel is broken, does anyone know a good tool to recover it without deleting the partitions (which I can access by manually mounting them, they still show up in blkid but parted doesn't see them) ??? [16:47] the shutdown works in the background, but the display is not showing it... [16:47] i use powertop and it tells me that Rescheduling interrupts is taking much cpu how can i fix? [16:47] nothin1: it sounds like a hardware issue [16:47] nothin1: check your drive with s.m.a.r.t. and your memory with a memtest [16:47] Hi ! [16:47] It oculdn't be a hardware issue [16:48] *couldnt [16:48] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [16:48] the shutdown works on the LIVE CD [16:48] I'm looking for a way to use real PGP within pigdin on my Ubuntu Heron [16:48] valentinex: is that supposed to be a question about that error? [16:49] Hi. I was wondering, where does the python-nautilus tagging extension keep file tags? And are there any other stable and working solutions for file tagging in linux? [16:49] bert, do you have another HDD you can mirror them to, then reformatt your partitions? [16:49] brandonmpace: on every package etc installation i get that error coz last time my pc was shut from back while installation [16:49] easiest way i know to reset partition labels [16:49] hey guys is there a disk-defrag for ubuntu? [16:49] nothin1: do you know how to boot with acpi turned off? [16:49] rodolfo_, not needed [16:49] Hello [16:50] Whenever I try to install Ububtu on my machine I get the following error message: [16:50] rodolfo_: linux oses dont need defrag [16:50] valentinex: and you ran that command it tells you to? [16:50] 195.2579371 Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0 ... ... .. . [16:50] valentinex, try sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock [16:50] And the first line above repeats with different numbers at the beginning. [16:50] My speakers and headphones get sound at the same time. How do I make it switch automatically? I don't see anything like that in Alsa mixer. [16:50] so how does it work exactly? (please tell me some website explaining it) [16:50] valentinex, then sudo apt-get update [16:50] wajib: what sound card? [16:50] wajib: are you on a laptop? [16:51] i use powertop and it tells me that Rescheduling interrupts is taking much cpu how can i fix? [16:51] Yes laptop, lemme check sound card. [16:51] after the install, I installed the updates, then I restartet, before the splashscreen was coming up, there was some text, but I wasnt able to read it. After I installed the Nvidia driver from "hardware driver" the display showed only some colors when I restarted.. [16:51] so nobody knows of a source for offline documentation (other than saving every page one at a time)? [16:51] rodolfo_: it because the filesystems cant be fragmented [16:51] rodolfo_: at least not as the windows ones [16:51] DEdwards, jim_p: what kind of FS does ubuntu use? [16:51] ilec: what kind of documentation? I mean there are man pages [16:51] run on* [16:51] ext3 [16:52] ext3 by defualt [16:52] by defaylt [16:52] rodolfo_: whatever you tell it to use [16:52] jfs is far better [16:52] I see..and ext3 is set by default on Ubuntu Installer? [16:52] dr3mro: lol how [16:52] jfs and xfs are good provided you have a ups [16:52] Whenever I try to install Ububtu on my machine I get the following error message: [16:52] 195.2579371 Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0 ... ... .. . [16:52] i am not goin to explain why! [16:52] dr3mro: depends on for what, and what data is on it [16:52] rodolfo_, yes [16:53] I´m curious as I have only used ext3 [16:53] !defrag | rodolfo_ [16:53] rodolfo_: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [16:53] ah, any really. I was looking at the ubuntu.com documentation page, but it's all spread out over lots of small pages. [16:53] hi, how to get the value of a parameter for a running kernel module? [16:53] brandonmpace, google for benchmark of both fs! [16:53] sorry [16:53] I'm looking for a way to use real PGP within pigdin on my Ubuntu Heron [16:53] if there is the faster, so there should be the slower FS [16:53] i use powertop and it tells me that Rescheduling interrupts is taking much cpu how can i fix? [16:54] ilec: Does System > Help and Support provide what you need? [16:54] dr3mro: i hate updating my ubuntu :(( i want to install it again i dont want to update :(( it will take two hours [16:54] dr3mro: does it have the same features as ext3 though? journaling? [16:54] i need help [16:54] jfs is far more features [16:54] shoot, vassler [16:54] guys, what to do, if each time i connect my USB HDD device, ubuntu adds another external hd icon on the desktop??? :/ [16:54] valentinex: lol I hate to tell you but when I had that problem I had to reinstall [16:54] legend2440: 'Linkpot.net is down for maintenance' [16:55] reinis__: you mean that the old one remains? [16:55] rodolfo_: yes i see that [16:55] i need help: how can i d/l new system fonts for gimp [16:55] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiled_printing software avaible for ubuntu? [16:55] vassler: dafont.com and place them in ~/.fonts [16:56] I'm installing it to my new system, but i don't have access to another machine onsite (and i can't exactly drag it in to work to do it) I need to have atleast the installation and setup documentation on hand (especially as this will be my first linux install) [16:56] no [16:56] its like duplicate [16:56] jim_p: thank you [16:56] i connected it two times, and it made two the same icons for external hdd [16:56] jim_p: what version of ubuntu are you using? [16:56] rodolfo_: i prefer to keep a secret about this [16:57] im useing force mount btw on 8.04 [16:57] pm me if you want to learn [16:57] dr3mro: while updating i got this message again in terminal :D E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [16:57] reinis__: why are you force mounting? [16:57] coz it gaved me an error, without force mounting [16:58] Kubuntu vs Ubuntu, who is better? [16:58] lol so you forced it anyways [16:58] alfonso: ubuntu [16:58] i prefer ubuntu, as it uses gnome [16:58] (There we go.) Headphones/speakers not switching. Laptop. "Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB4x0 High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)" [16:58] yes, but when i forced it, it opens [16:58] but makes icons on the desktop [16:58] each time i connect, adds one more [16:58] alfonso, they are the same OS [16:59] ilec: I'd suggest using 'wget' to fetch and store the pages you need offline. Using a variety of its options you can make a copy of a subsection of a site and maintain the relative links locally. [16:59] <`Bleu> Is there a way to run rdesktop thru a socks proxy? I have setup a reverse SSH tunnel from remote box 1 to local box 1 and enabled it to listen on a certian port on local box 1. I am using local box 2 to connect to that port using SOCKS proxy. I am able to get to the remote network from local box 2 using a browser and SOCKS proxy. Does anyone know how i can use rdesktop on local box 2 to connect to remote network machines?

[17:15] IntuitiveNipple: thanks, now I just need to figure out which one is my external hard drive... [17:16] randomlogic78: or alternatively ask here for someone with the specific version/architecture to give you their system's cdrom line [17:16] IntutiveNipple: I suppose I could try that... first I'll try to be clever about it and just edit the entry by hand like you suggested.

[17:26] now sonata just can't get any musics from the path I specified [17:26] it works with rhythmbox [17:26] I dont' know why it's not working on mpd or sonata [17:27] jrib Warning: unknown mime-type for "/etc/apt/sources.list" -- using "application/*" [17:27] Error: no write permission for file "/etc/apt/sources.list" [17:27] hi is there a channel for questions related to ufw? I want to know you I can deny outgoing connections from specific applications [17:27] I installed Firefox 3, but when I check the version, it still says 2.0.0.12, even though it is actually 3.0... it seems as if the version number isn't changing somewhere [17:28] rxndx:you installed ff in what way [17:28] I tried sudo apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, but nothing is working, and now, I can't seem to uninstall firefox even though I've removed the .mozilla directory from the home directory and from /etc [17:29] smm289: Yes, you can do that if the remote host that is attached to the scanner is running Linux with xsane already aware of the scanner. [17:29] petrele, I installed ff and tried uninstalling from synaptic, all to no avail [17:29] cannot shutdown Nautilus to shut down, it keeps restarting and then will not respond [17:29] hi, how can i set emerald-theme? [17:30] smm289: See the answers to this and the following FAQ http://www.xs4all.nl/~ljm/SANE-faq.html#19 [17:30] i use this: emerald --replace, but after console-closing decorations has broken [17:30] rxndx, did you install ff by apt-get both times or not? [17:30] How do you toggle the Desktop Cube thing? [17:30] petrele, no, only through the synaptic package manager [17:31] rxndx, maybe there are two firefoxs in difference PATH? [17:31] hello, can someone please help me enable my tablet under ubuntu? its a tablet laptop. a toshiba r25-s3505 [17:31] rxndx: did you do "sudo apt-get --purge remove firefox-3.0" ? [17:31] hi, I'm having a speed problem with madwifi in hardy, please help [17:31] IntuitiveNipple, will try right now [17:32] rxndx: No... I was just asking since you said v2 is still there... [17:32] rxndx, try "which firefox" [17:32] rxndx: You *can* try "sudo apt-get --purge remove firefox-2" though [17:32] Package firefox-3.0 is not installed, so not removed [17:32] what is the command to see all the folders that a program was installed from ? [17:32] petrele, IntuitiveNipple, will try both suggestions [17:33] i meant installed into. not from [17:33] Bigmack83: which , i think [17:33] Bigmack83: you mean "dpkg-query -L " ? [17:33] is there a GUI method for changing the ownership of a file [17:33] anyone able to help me with nautilus ? been looking for an answer for days [17:33] petrele, it says /usr/bin/firefox [17:33] I want to move my home directory to a separate, encrypted disc that I'd like to mount manually *after* linux and gnome has started. Is this possible or does the linux startup procedure need the home directory? [17:33] ill try both. thx [17:34] xbxbxb, Linux no, but gnome and X does [17:34] ah, its the dpgk command, thx [17:34] acctualy X doesnt [17:34] can someone please help me enable my tablet? [17:34] but gnome does :) [17:34] rxndx, then i have no idea. are you sure about the problem [17:34] rxndx: if it is proving confusing, search the known installed packages for the firefox start script: "dpkg-query -S '/usr/bin/firefox' " - that will help work out which package needs to be removed [17:35] I need to change the ownership of a file, i'd rather not use the CLI, is there a method I can use from within Nautalis. I have the open as administrator right click option, but that does not allow me to go into properties and change the owner, it just opens the file [17:35] petrele, thanks for the help [17:35] IntuitiveNipple, I'll do that right now [17:35] Hey. In System Manager it says my CPU is in use 100% but the processes are totalling about 20% [17:35] smm289: You'd need to start nautilus as root, if your current user doesn't already own the file. Otherwise, choose Properties on the file and then the Permissions tab [17:36] Guys, how to add Logitec USB microphone in Ubuntu 8.04 === WDC_ is now known as WDC [17:36] smm289, yes just rightclick on file select properties and then permisions tab [17:36] How do I start Nautilus a root [17:36] Hey. In System Manager it says my CPU is in use 100% but the processes are totalling about 20% [17:36] What is the location for scripts on left click? ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/ [17:37] smm289: gksudo nautilus / [17:37] rxndx, maybe you can try "sudo rm -rf `locate firefox`", it can help you remove most files related to firefox, and then reinstall firefox [17:37] IntuitiveNipple,I removed /usr/bin/firefox [17:37] hey everyone [17:37] I think I have that installed, from within Nautilus I have a right click option that allows me to open a file as Administrator [17:37] Thing says use Ctrl+Alt+Button 1 but I dont see what the binding is for "Button 1" === Schmitty1oesIt is now known as Schmittydoesit [17:37] IntuitiveNipple, will try reinstalling [17:37] Anyone? Sys manager sez 100% usage but it definatly is not [17:37] Is there a generic default er [17:37] rxndx: how about the other firefox-2 files? [17:38] IntuitiveNipple, don't see any [17:38] petrele, I will try that now [17:38] how can I shut down nautilus ???????????????????? [17:38] I just got a new 22" (1680x1050@60hz) and the screen is flickering, running the latest Nvidia drivers (173.14.12?) on hardy. Been googling for the past couple of days no solutions so far. I've also connected it to a windows machine and no flickering at all any ideas? [17:38] wx9j_: killall nautilus [17:39] wx9j change the HZ output [17:39] Schmittydoesit, I have tried that over and over, it only restarts, then will not respond [17:39] petrele, I ran the command but nothing was found [17:39] hunger_, use windows [17:39] rxndx: okay... check places like /usr/lib/firefox just-in-case [17:39] wx9j_: xkill [17:39] Solved :) thank you, I had to right click the folder, Open as Administrator, now I I am able to right click the file and change the owner. Thank U [17:39] IntuitiveNipple, ok [17:39] i am trying to use rmdir to remove a directory but i get an error that it has files in it. it there another command i can use to delete it if it has contents in that dir? [17:39] hunger_: install envy [17:39] madhag i'd rather not, would prefer to fix it in linux if i can [17:39] genius, didn't have much luck w/ envy actually [17:40] yes, try envy [17:40] Bigmack83: rm -rf /dir [17:40] rxndx: it runs for a while, then it exit with nothing, is it? [17:40] maybe i'll give it another go [17:40] Bigmack83: Use "rm -rf " to recursively force deletion of files and directories [17:40] hunger_: it turns on then off? [17:40] fr500, thx [17:40] ok ty [17:40] np [17:40] sudo rm -rf / for exemple [17:40] genius, more like horizontal bars flickering on the screen [17:40] petrele, no... [17:40] was a joke [17:40] smm289: Did you sort the remote scanner connection out? [17:40] hi for C basic user which c compiler etc used in ubuntu? [17:41] dj [17:41] valentinex: gcc [17:41] ok [17:41] IntuitiveNipple: I don't think its possible [17:41] hunger_: looks like you has wrong resolution or frequency. [17:41] Has anyone installed Ubuntu on a Presario? Does anyone know how to get the wireless to run? [17:41] tstebut, haha yea right. im not going to delete my harddrive [17:41] IntuitiveNipple, ok, will re-install ff 3.0 [17:41] IntuitiveNipple: not g++?? [17:41] rxndx, did you turn on the tracker? [17:41] IntuitiveNipple, brb [17:41] smm289: Is the host with the scanner running Windows or Linux? [17:41] petrele, no [17:42] petrele, brb [17:42] IntuitiveNippleI: just remoted desktoped to the host with the scanner (ubuntu) and then used the HP tools to scan the document [17:42] genius, monitors on screen display shows 1680x1050, nvidia-settings shows 1680x1050 both at 60hz also [17:42] IntuitiveNipple: Hi again, i'm having a slight problem, read through the manuals and the /etc/hosts.deny needs the user@host but i can't seem to get it to work. Does it read hosts.allow first or hosts.deny? [17:42] smm289: I posted you a link on how to use xsane to connect to a remote printer, did you miss it? [17:42] rxndx, if not, try to replace locate firefox with other cmd which can find the files having firefox in its name [17:43] :p [17:43] IntuitiveNipple: The printer is not a network capable printer, its just a USB printer that I am sharing from the file server. I don't think the scanner is available to network users. I can print to the printer fine across the network, I just cant use the scanner [17:43] rampageoberon: I'm not sure... let me read up on it :) (if it is like apache it does deny then allow by default) [17:43] My desktop crashed (only desktop,not gnome panel) ? [17:43] How I restart it ? [17:43] smm289: See the answers to this and the following FAQ http://www.xs4all.nl/~ljm/SANE-faq.html#19 [17:44] hunger_: sorry, i don't sure how to help you [17:44] IsTI37, try rebooting [17:44] petrele, I am reinstalling ff 3.0... will see if it works [17:44] I'm not detecting wireless networks. It's my first full day of using Ubuntu, so I suspect it may be something fairly obvious. My wireless card is "Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)". My Network Settings only lists the connections "Wired connection" and "Point to point connection"; I'm guessing it's supposed to list my wireless in there? [17:44] The printer/scanner is attached to a linux box [17:44] MadHag , without restarting X... [17:44] Is gvim contained in vim-gnome or vim-gtk? [17:44] one day at the office , I had tto do a "rm -rf ./somedir/bin" [17:44] is there a ubuntu server room? [17:45] wajib, did you install magic wand? [17:45] what command should be used to install compiz fusion? is anyone using it? [17:45] smm289: Also, this should help: http://www.xs4all.nl/~ljm/SANE-faq.html#92 [17:45] hunger_: you can try to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [17:45] IntuitiveNipple, ok... worked [17:45] genius, hehe its cool i've been googling for the past 2 days, there seems to be know solution yet.... [17:45] IntuitiveNipple, big thanx [17:45] MadHag: Er, never heard of it. Lemme see... [17:45] petrele, thanx ;) [17:45] Anyone know how to get the wireless of a Presario to work? [17:45] rxndx: what was the solution? [17:45] joking pal [17:45] genius hehe http://paste.ubuntu.com/48622/ that's my xorg.conf i have no idea how many iterations i've gone through :( [17:45] but I hit the space bar by error so it made "rm -rf ./somedir /bin" [17:45] hunger_: and set the vertical and horizontal resolutions from monitor's manual [17:45] X-c0r3, have you plugged it in? And I am not trying to be sarcastic? [17:45] Plugging it in should trigger Ubuntu to add the device to your inventory of audio devices and allow you to select it for just about any ALSA-aware application... except the Adobe Flash player for Linux... Last time I checked, I couldn't use a USB mic on sites like Ustream and Stickam in Linux. [17:46] tstebut, youhad to do that? what for? [17:46] and deleted ./somedir in home dir, and....the hole bin dir.... [17:46] I'm going to wait on trying to get scanner access across the network, looks like alot of work (lazy saterday). [17:46] hunger_: i had to mess with monitor for three days :) [17:46] ;p; [17:46] ;p; [17:46] rxndx, you are welcome. [17:46] IntuitiveNipple, removing the /usr/bin/firefox app and changing the launcher to launch firefox-3.0 %u instead of firefox %u [17:46] stupid keyboard [17:46] genius, yeah that's my next step right now i made one change i haven't tested yet, but i'm going to just set a single rate rather than the current range that's listed [17:46] I just wanted to delete some temp dir that uses too mutch space [17:46] smm289: It shouldn't be at all... as long as the scanner is already handled by xsane backend on the remote, the xsane front-end on the local PC should be able to connect to it [17:47] thats funny [17:47] hunger_: do you have two outlets on nvidia video card? [17:47] So be very careful with those commands, be as calm as possible, advice [17:47] rxndx: That doesn't sound correct - the firefox-3.0 package should install its own /usr/bin/firefox script [17:48] hunger_: maybe there is solution please private [17:48] genius, this is on my laptop so its one connector [17:48] yeah, keybord or PEBCAC [17:48] tstebut. theres no recovery command in inux is there? like in windows deleted items get put to the trash and you can restore them if needed [17:48] you choose [17:48] has anyone encountered with the "GLIB_CRYTICAL" errors? [17:48] yea [17:49] is there a way to transfer files to my H/P using bluetooth anymore? [17:49] Well I'd like to lurn it if it existed ..? does it ?

Any ideas? [17:52] rampageoberon: Is that in hosts.allow ? [17:52] Alright, so I did the upgrade to ibex 8.10, but now it won't work. [17:52] rampageoberon: Have you tried guest@1.2.3.4 format? [17:52] IntuitiveNipple: no hosts.deny. I'm trying to stop the guest user ssh access [17:53] There's no graphical interface whatsoever. [17:53] IntuitiveNipple: not tried that format, will try now [17:53] rampageoberon: ahhh... sorry, I'm getting confudled :) [17:53] IntuitiveNipple, gdm and emerald both have the error. [17:53] hello [17:53] Hi.

[17:54] IntuitiveNipple: sorry, i explain briefly. I have a guest user account which I don't want to allow ssh access to so trying to disable it in hosts.deny [17:54] alright, better. So I don't have a graphival display for ibex. what command should I run to fix this? [17:54] Anyone know where the setting for having more than 2 Workspaces it?

Then, when another display is connected, you can choose where it is located in that area without X having to be restarted.

[18:47] Flannel: I've got them as different names, eg I want http://localhost showing default, http://site1 using the site1 config, etc [18:47] arvind_khadri: just run it and see if it all works, and also see how much RAM it sees (BIOS should have a mem display too). memtest won't end on its own, so go ahead and kill it after it completes a cycle (go have lunch or something) [18:47] is there a way to get wacom tablets installed on 8.04? The method i used to get it working on 7.10 doesnt work in 8.04 [18:47] nitin: That may be because it doesn't provide an EDID response, in which case you add it into xorg.conf manually as a "Display" section and associate it with a "Screen" and possibly a "Driver" [18:47] so..

[19:38] !dualboot | xomp [19:38] xomp: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [19:38] flannel, same drive or different drive if possible [19:38] part [19:38] Flannel, thanks :) [19:38] nathan42100: Doesn't matter a whole lot. With 1G of RAM, you probably will almost never use your swap, except for hibernation [19:39] k [19:40] flannel, do i need a mount point for that? [19:41] is there away to have konversation without having to install the kde base? I actually like using konversationg [19:41] nathan42100: No, when you format it as "swap" it knows what its doing [19:41] konversation* [19:41] add onemount point in /etc/fstab [19:41] o0Chris0o: install the konversation package, and it'll pull in the libraries it needs (and only what it needs) [19:41] flannel, thanks for your help [19:41] nathan42100: no problem [19:42] Flannel: alright thanks, I just wanted to make sure if anything else KDE based will be showing up on the system [19:42] o0Chris0o: I can't think of anything that would. It'll just be the libraries [19:43] my computer stopped doing the Graphical Login.....it now gives me a terminal. How do i get that back? [19:44] im running the latest kubuntu [19:44] jabapyth: #kubuntu should be able to help === WAt is now known as Fenrir [19:44] i have some problem installing EVE-ONLINE to my fresh UBUNTU 8.04 system ( http://www.eve-online.com/download/linux.asp ) could you help me? [19:44] !kde4 [19:44] KDE 4.1.1 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. Packages can be found at http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1.1 - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 [19:44] thats the channel for the latest kubuntu :D [19:45] jabapyth: try sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop^ include the ^ [19:45] jabapyth: sudo apt-get install kdm [19:46] ok, the only thing i can't figure out is why my title bar disappears when i hover over the close or maximize buttons [19:46] tried everythinng [19:46] any thoughts? [19:46] !ask | Wizek [19:46] Wizek: 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. :-) [19:46] hey uhm ... i have a problem maybe someone could help me with :) i am trying to get vmware to see an iso file i mounted with Gmount-iso... the drive selection in vmware gives me values like /dev/cdrom /dev/scd0 ... but that's is not my iso mount point (~/isomount) .... my question is what value should i give wmware? .. ~/isomount is NOT recognized when i start the virtual machine [19:46] but the kdm commant works...its just not default [19:46] you have compiz enabled? [19:46] *command [19:46] I sometimes get lines sent in irssi to the wrong irssi window, what gives? I'm running latest irssi in urxvt under screen and compiz [19:46] hi wanna burn a bootable ubuntu server cd [19:46] o0Chris0o yes [19:46] ăsk [19:46] i have the iso but what else i need^ [19:46] could someone please offer me some advice? [19:47] does someone has a link [19:47] Yekyaa: you have an nVidia graphics card? [19:47] !ask [19:47] 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. :-) [19:47] for tutorial [19:47] !ask | sysrpl [19:47] sysrpl: please see above [19:47] info_: use k3b to burn it [19:47] i already asked [19:47] Wizek: no, not with !ask [19:47] info__: just burn it as an ISO not a data disk [19:47] yes Chris [19:47] Gnea: didn't yu see my question? [19:47] info__ If you have Ubuntu.. just right click and write to disk [19:48] Gnea: -> i am trying to get vmware to see an iso file i mounted with Gmount-iso... the drive selection in vmware gives me values like /dev/cdrom /dev/scd0 ... but that's is not my iso mount point (~/isomount) .... my question is what value should i give wmware? .. ~/isomount is NOT recognized when i start the virtual machine [19:48] sysrpl: not at first... uhm, the preferences of the cdrom device in vmware will allow you to select an .iso file [19:48] i have a set of machines i'm going to administrate remotely. i will only have a chance at installing after the scheduled release for 8.10-beta but before final. Will the upgrade to final be cleaner than a similar install of 8.04? [19:48] it comes back if i hover over the Window Menu button [19:48] I have the exact same problems with my nvidia 8600 gt, I tried to fix it, I was unable too, but the best place to try to get help would be #nvidia #compiz-fusion [19:48] how do you get admin privileges in nautilus/the folder/file explorer? [19:48] ok then i make write cd on data image [19:49] Gnea/: yes, but under certain situation is causes read errors and you should mount an image outside of vmware, then point vmware to that drive [19:49] rmn: should be easy to upgrade to final [19:49] quit: BB [19:49] rmn: Upgrade from beta to final will be a regular "daily updates" sort of thing. [19:49] Yekyaa[Ubuntu]: l thought that was a 'feature' :) If you find out, let me know! [19:49] rmn: I think the answer is yes. Are you asking about whether or not to do a clean install of the beta, or an upgrade from hardy? I would choose the beta [19:49] Gnea: the problem is ... i don't know how to point vmware to that drive ... linux doesn't have drive letters [19:49] sysrpl: never had that problem befor, are you sure you selected it correctly and that the .iso doesn't have any errors? [19:49] Flannel: I'm in the live cd for Hardy right now and am only wanting to use 10GB of my 25Gb available space but don't see how I can specify this in the installer :S [19:50] !dualboot [19:50] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [19:50] sysrpl: thankfully! drive letters are weak. [19:50] excellent. thanks, Bsims, Flannel and danbh_intrepid . [19:50] xomp: Do manual partitioning, and then only create a 10GB partition [19:50] Gnea: and when i point vmware to my mount point (/home/username/isomount) ... the virtual machine doesn't see a cdrom device attached [19:50] Hmmm, seems it's a known bug [19:51] sysrpl: right. you're not supposed to set it to a mountpoint, you're supposed to set it to the iso file itself. vmware knows how to handle it internally- that's why you're getting read errors [19:51] apparently changing themes to non-Clearlooks themes fixes it, but how will that affect comiz-fusion? [19:51] Gnea: so i was wanting to know, if i mount my iso to /home/username/isonimage ... hwat do i tell vmware is the location of the drive? [19:51] sysrpl: and the answer is: don't mount it. point vmware directly to the .iso [19:51] Afternoon everyone, I have a .sh file that I created to ftp some data. When I run the command from shell it works fine, if I run it from a cron job I get no usch file or directory? What would cause the cron job to do that? [19:51] Gnea: that won't work ... [19:51] sysrpl: wrong, i've done it hundreds of times. [19:51] then i think it's the end of my linux carier :) moving back to nicely-WORKING Vista......... what a pritty, i just wanted to try this out.... Good luck..... [19:52] Gnea: all the guidees i have read for this particular iso image say DO NOT mount the image inside vmware ... instead mount it outside of vmware and point vmware to that drive [19:52] danbh_intrepid: it will be a fresh install of either the beta or 8.04 in the second week of october (beta scheduled to the third, was it?). [19:52] does ubuntu's firewall block cvs by default? [19:52] switched to Glossy fixes it [19:52] sysrpl: so have you even TRIED pointing vmware directly at it? [19:53] Gnea: and when i do mount inside of vmware with this image i get a specific error generated at boot from the iso image which is caused by mounting it inside of wmware [19:53] Flannel: There appear to be a fathom of choices in the manual partition setup lol, is there anything I should choose? [19:53] sysrpl: that is expected behaviour since the mounting has effectively opened the ISO already. Does vmware have an option to mount an ISO file directly? If not, unmount the iso and then do something like "sudo losetup /dev/loop0 file.iso" and try pointing vmware to /dev/loop0 [19:53] sysrpl: what .iso is it? [19:53] Gnea: that's it .. i don't know the "locatrion" of the drive to give to vmware .. i.e. there is no drive ltter [19:53] xomp: I like ext3 myself for a partition type [19:53] letter [19:53] IntuitiveNipple: switching from Human theme to Glossy just fixed it for me, apparently it's non-gtk2 themes from what i'm reading [19:53] Flannel: like partition format (ext3, reiser etc.) and mounting point [19:53] xomp: Just create a new partition (you'll actually be making two, one for / and one for swap). The / is going to be ext3, and the mount point will be / [19:53] Yekyaa[Ubuntu]: many thanks! [19:53] Hey, I lost the "applications places system" part of the bar on top of the screen somehow. How do I get it back? [19:53] sysrpl: this isn't windows. [19:54] xomp: the swap one will be type "swap" and there is no mount point [19:54] Gnea: JaS.OSx86.10.5.4.Client.Server.Intel.SSE2.SSE3.iso [19:54] Gnea: i know [19:54] Flannel: ok, 100000 is 10Gb right? lol [19:54] Gnea: i am asking how to tell vmware the "location" of the drive === jason__ is now known as DBO [19:55] Gnea: since,as we have both said, there are no drive ltters [19:55] but i really have to say i love linux :P [19:55] xomp: 100000 what? [19:55] sysrpl: the people in #vmware should be able to help then [19:55] Flannel: "New partition size in MB" I don't know what to set it at for 10GB :( [19:55] JusticeZero: right click on the panel and go to +Add to Panel... then add the "Menu Bar" in the utilities tab [19:56] xomp: 10000MB is 10GB (this is with 1GB == 1000MB) but you're *probably* used to 1GB == 1024MB. Which would be 10240MB [19:57] how can i prevent seahorse from revealing my empathy gtalk password? [19:57] ~firewall [19:57] !firewall [19:57] 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). [19:57] lol "Too small size" with a partition size of 25Gb lmao [19:58] Okay, that did it, now how do I put it where i'm used to it instead of in the middle? [19:58] xomp: that doesn't make sense. [19:58] xomp: Are you sure you're not off by a factor of 10 or something? [19:59] Does anyone know if Terminal logs its operations somewhere? I accidently chmodded my system to 775 but i quit the terminal as soon as i relized i made a boo boo like 2 seconds after i clicked enter [19:59] xomp: 10G should be plenty. [19:59] Flannel: well I've decided to go with the guided and let it use all the freespace 25Gb and when I hit "Ok" on the prompt that comes up after it says "Too small" lol [19:59] Is there somewhere that logs permission changes so i can see if i fuxored any important files up? [19:59] Hi. When I play DVDs in VLC I get fine video, but the sound is just white noise. The DVD plays okay in Xine but Xine is flaky. Totem works but doesn't find the DVD menu. What can I do about the sound? [19:59] Nevermind, I figured it out. [19:59] xecration: The logs would only keep the command, not the operations performed. There is no automatic way of recovering. [20:00] xomp: What partition was that? [20:00]  xecration:there is a cache for written cmds, you can list last cmds with arrow up/down [20:00] alrighty, thanks guess ill wait and see if stuff stops working then reinstall [20:00] thing is it was a recursive change === twoa2__ is now known as Baramiii [20:00] ok, when looking for themes, what should i be looking for, GDM, GTK2.x, and what's the difference? [20:00] =( [20:00] Gnea: okay ... well then basically ... how can i tell which devices in /dev link to which mount points (i.e. ~/isomount)? [20:01] Yekyaa[Ubuntu]: you probably want gtk2 and metacity themes [20:01] With regards to virtual memory, can I share a swap partition for both Ubuntu and Vista? [20:01] sysrpl: look at the /etc/fstab [20:01] now it's stuck at 'Starting up the Partitioner" lol sheesh [20:01] Legion:no. They use different formats internally. [20:01] but i have to say good bye linux my wlan doesnt work ;( was a nice time guys [20:01] Hmm, I need to figure out how to get my network running better for when it isn't here - someone changed a lot of settings and broke the network while trying to fix a broken network cable in the settings. [20:01] I have the worst of luck when it comes to this [20:01] Yekyaa[Ubuntu]: gtk2 controlls the look of the stuff inside the windows, while metacity controlls the decoration around the window [20:02] Mion: trying to avoid metacity, it causes the titlebar bug from what i understand [20:02] info_: try an alternate unix-alike, such as FreeBSD. linux hates my wireless card, FreeBSD does fine. [20:02] attempt at dual booting has been abandoned lol, thanks anyways ;p [20:02] Yekyaa[Ubuntu]: then don't use gnome >_> [20:02] mhhh i give it a try [20:02] Yekyaa[Ubuntu]: or use compiz or ob or something instead of metacity [20:02] as the wm in gnome [20:02] xecration: where you using root or sudo when you executed the command? [20:03] Use Compiz with the settings turned way down or off? [20:03] Can I set up a server that everyone can get to but lock down the content filtering part of just one user. Is it as simple as user rights? I'm installing Dansguardian and I want to be the only person that can access those settings [20:03] cya guys have a nice weekend [20:03] hi [20:03] Hiya cat. [20:03] burekko ketto [20:03] anyone knows of any way of browsing the web through shell? [20:04] Kuroi_Neko: use links or lynx [20:04] tnx jamesish [20:04] gonna try and see if i manage to get it working :P [20:04] Crews3: sounds like user permissions would do the trick [20:04] Kuroi_Neko: w3m is already installed [20:05] Kuroi_Neko: Its simple once you get used to navigating in it. Try reading the man page once it's installed. [20:05] tnx ^^ [20:05] Hey, is there a way to go back to all of the original install settings for network? [20:05] it might be easy, but... i mess things up easily :P [20:06] JusticeZero: what do you mean, the original install settings? Did you statically set things up or did you use dhcp? [20:07] is there a file manager less bloated than Nautilus, but with same or more functionality? [20:07] eirik_, thunar? [20:08] it's the xfce file manager, it's quite handy [20:08] i'm using thunar but seems to be missing a lot of stuff [20:08] it's definitely nicer [20:08] with regard to speed [20:08] erik_: I think I'm using rox right now. === EvilDaemon is now known as edavidburgs_mom [20:08] cool ill see what that's like === edavidburgs_mom is now known as EvilDaemon [20:08] it was easier than expected :D [20:09] any good at and want to do a wib site test [20:09] eirik_, what's wrong with nautilus anyway? you can customize it, to slim it down [20:09] Flannel, By the way thanks for your help last night, what you said did the trick. I set up my usb and cdrom and the server install was able to work Thanks again for your help [20:09] Crewsr3: Ah, glad it worked. [20:09] anyone good @ doing web site Medi test [20:10] how to install ubuntu remix or mid onto a live usb ? [20:10] Yes, the original install settings, as they were when I installed Ubuntu. I had trouble with a LAN at the house of someone who knows Windows networking, he tried to fix it, it turned out to be a physical problem with the cable, but my laptop has had many network problems since. [20:10] Flannel, Now I just need to get everything set up the way I want it, Samba share, DHCP, DNS, Squid [20:10] JusticeZero: pastebin your /etc/netwrk/interfaces [20:10] this on my laptop - right now i'm on my desktop and the laptop is behind me. [20:11] Flannel, but that will have to wait for another day [20:11] JusticeZero: Just say no to Windows l00sers touching your precious :P [20:12] I have a web site calling for gecko player plugin after install it still dose not play music i installed timidity and it still dose not work plz help with this web sies .mid files http://www.crystalinks.com/12pyrthoth.html [20:12] adobe flash plugin doesn't work with pulseaudio, does it?

[20:14] Danny: as I recall, wubi just installs to a file. You could erase teh file and fix your boot settings, but it might be a better idea to post on the wubi section of the uibuntu forums for better support than that. They're pretty nice folks, as I recall. [20:14] anyone know how to mount a ntfs drive such as a portable hard drive?? [20:15] Danny:are u installed it from xp [20:15] yes amanulla [20:15] thanks jamesish [20:15] :) [20:15] Flannel: it appears my problem with dualbooting has existed for awhile lol http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5820004 and nobody has yet to figure out a fix either [20:15] you can get an exe file for unintalling it [20:15] magentar: might wanna look at this howto http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 . dunno if it's necessary but ive used it on several computers [20:15] roukoun: this works perfect => https://launchpad.net/liveusb [20:16] JusticeZero: alright, that' fine. Ok, so, go ahead and open that file with elevated privledges, add these lines: auto eth0 (newline) iface eth0 inet dhcp [20:16] i'll have a look thx [20:16] getting problems with configure, it says gcc cannot create executables... any hint of what could be wrong?

[20:17] pvpgn [20:17] but... it happens on everything [20:17] Kuroi_Neko: how much space you got on the drive? [20:17] uh. well it's true. it's on another partition. what to do then? [20:17] Kuroi_Neko: You need to check the package repositories first, do this instead: sudo apt-get install pvpgn [20:17] i belive enough for a 1MB program... [20:17] I thought the ubuntu forums were bad for support, but man, nearly a year rolls bye and nobody even as much as acknowledges the issues half the time? [20:17] halo [20:17] selam [20:17] Flannel: i would suggest you to configure JusticeZero's network to play with static configuration not with dhcp because of the stability! [20:17] nasýlsýnýz ?

[20:21] you can get Urban Terror :D [20:21] amanulla... i did it. downloaded another .exe and it worked :) thanks === _weltall is now known as weltall [20:21] Hi all, i'm about to leave from home during 1 week, and I need to access my box via ssh. Surprisingly enough, i'm not able any more to connect to a remote machine [20:21] I get: Permission denied (publickey,password) [20:21] I'm sure I typed the right username/password [20:22] !info ndiswrapper [20:22] Package ndiswrapper does not exist in hardy [20:22] jamesish: by the look of the screenshot there, about 49.3GB lol [20:22] ngirard_ verify your RSA key settings and read your sshd_config to make sure you're allowing password logins. [20:22] xomp: I believe the workaround is to do manual partitioning [20:22] Hello, does anyone have tip on a OSS VoIP-server (and client) that works good and is cross-platform (including windoze), much like Ventrilo? [20:22] Flannel: but when I try and specify a manual partition size it won't accept the values I put in. :( [20:22] Hagge: Team Speak 2 [20:23] Danny:is it ok now? [20:23] Urban Terror, how can i install this game can anyone help me over pm so i dont miss the message? [20:23] jamesish: Hi, thanks for your feedback. The trick is, i can open an ssh connection from a LAN machine [20:23] Flannel: example: I enter "100000" as partition size and tab down to the next line and it magically enters in '5371" or something in it's place [20:23] o0Chris0o_: ok, thanks. And it is Opensource? [20:23] I don't understand networking. My brother is a Windows network admin type. I was trying to hook into his LAN. It wasn't working.

[20:25] jamesish: ooops damn damn I was wrong. I can't login any more via ssh from my 2nd machine !! [20:25] xomp: Well, you'd see it when you see your little harddrive usage thing. Available freespace likely means space that is unused inside of your windows partition [20:25] Flannel: maybe I should partition the disk with Partition Magic in Windows? it's the only thing I can think of since the ubuntu partition seems to freak out. [20:25] hi guys [20:25] xomp: so, first thing you'll need to do is shrink that, to have unpartitioned space. [20:26] xomp: use gparted, its on the liveCD [20:26] How do you use DOSBox?

[22:00] can someone open and watch this http://www.megavideo.com/?v=YENW83QR and tell me if he sees the ratio shortened horizontally? [22:01] jrib: Oh... it didn't what i... you see, i erased the 'wine' entry in the menu, is there any way to recover it ? [22:01] DasEi: ok, well i just want a regular desktop so i guess the desktop edition. i just saw sites that only had server edition [22:01] jrib: still getting the same error, E319, command is not available in this version.. Could I be missing a plugin or something? [22:01] hardcore: https://launchpad.net/awn is the alternative if Cairo-Dock sucks for some reason, I guess. [22:01] it says only for hardy and gutsy. what happens when i upgrade to 8.10? [22:01] how to get menu drop shadow like xp in ubuntu ??? [22:02] mreyfout: oh. Did you ever install vim instead of the default vim-tiny? [22:02] does anyone suffer from the extremly irritating BUG (more a gnome issue though), that applet icons shifts so much during a change in resolution, especially when a game changes the resolution... it is AWEFUL [22:02] killux: so you want a ready-made ubuntu? [22:02] guntbert: yeah [22:02] killux:yes then, server is for large amount of ram and starts more services n daemona, so less good for vm [22:02] debCarlos: I don't know. Try 'winecfg' maybe? You could always recreate it yourself by right clicking on the ubuntu icon and clicking edit [22:03] jrib: did the apt-get update and upgrade and assumed it would have gotten the vim package.. [22:03] how do i get the x-chat irc client to show users on the main display by default? [22:03] mreyfout: nope, only vim-tiny is installed by default. Install the "vim" package [22:03] I prefer nano over vim [22:03] sTratovariuZ: dissplays as usual, I mostly use the ff addon videodownloadhelper to store it first and watch it comfortably with vlc [22:03] killux: ok, I wasn't sure I understood you right, but you can run any guest-system within vmware (nearly) [22:04] guntbert: yeah [22:04] wiehan: you're entitled to have bad preferences I suppose :) [22:04] where is syslinux located in ubuntu? [22:04] Are there any good skype alternatives for linux/windows? [22:04] DasEi: gotcha [22:04] i thought it was me [22:04] :D [22:04] killux: whats your problem then? [22:04] jrib: yeah, winecfg doesn't do it... well, thanks, i'll do it with right click =) [22:04] server irc.fantasya.org [22:04] guntbert: i was just asking where i could download a premade one [22:05] how long time does it usually take to download a movie? ivegot high speed connection [22:05] <^Jimbo^> demism: You can run Skype in Linux [22:05] hibernate problem pat entry 2 is already configured? [22:05] jrib well, for small jobs like editing xorg.conf vim is awefull, it took me half an hour once to figure out how to save and exit the bloody file. nano rocks for doing things like that [22:05] debCarlos: #winehq might know how they get created [22:05] Seveas: still having the loopback issue over here. WE've verified the contents of /etc/network/interfaces and no joy. ifconfig is only showing eth0, and it doesn't show any address information for eth0. But he still has connectivity. [22:05] ^Jimbo^: skype is huge. was looking for something more lightweight. [22:05] killux: Oh my, I seem to be a bit slow tonight :), sorry, got no answer for that one :( [22:05] wiehan: nah, it just has a steep learning curve. But it's awesome at editing text once you get past it [22:05] jrib: oh, yeah, didn't thought about it ^^ [22:06] <^Jimbo^> dennda: So you want a basic light weight SIP client... or do you mean you are looking for a service provider? [22:06] pan__: it's almost impossible to figure that one out. i have the same problem as well as many laptops i've installed ubuntu on, my only guess is that the swap partition should be bigger than the amount of ram you have [22:06] killux: http://vmplanet.net/ seems to have some. [22:06] what do we use on linux that is like photoshop or paintshop pro for windows please? [22:06] i c [22:06] ^Jimbo^: HILIGHT FAIL [22:06] where can i find /syslinux on my filesystem? what command cna i use to find it?/ [22:06] jrib why do I need to learn a new language if I just wanna edit 2 lines in a file such as rc.local or xorg.conf???? [22:06] :-) [22:06] !info gimp | olskolirc [22:06] olskolirc: GIMP is the big one. [22:06]  sTratovariuZ:(!who) depends on the videoserver, watch it in ff, with more than approx 50kbs you can startb watching after first 5 mb are down, varies from server to server [22:06] olskolirc: gimp (source: gimp): The GNU Image Manipulation Program. In component main, is optional. Version 2.4.5-1ubuntu2 (hardy), package size 3836 kB, installed size 10668 kB [22:06] thx amirman [22:06] pan__, amirman: yes. To hibernate your swap has to be bigger than your RAM [22:06] ^Jimbo^: Hmm... a client would be nice. even if it does use the skype network [22:06] demism: ubuntu comes with ekiga something preinstalled [22:06] it is bigger than my RAM [22:07] thanks [22:07] Kai: I think the "Comprehensive Multimedia & Video Howto" ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683 ) might be usefull, too. Seeya [22:07] wiehan: trust me, run vimtutor and force yourself to learn for a week. You will have an epiphany [22:07] my swap is 2gigs my ram is a gig [22:07] olskolirc: Also look at Inkscape and stuff for vector/drawing. [22:07] yo yo yo [22:07] <^Jimbo^> dennda: Ekiga Softphone works well for me [22:07] pan__: then it's some unrelated bug, i have the same problem, no idea how to fix it and i've scoured the webs to no avail as well [22:07] jrib I truly believe you, but I hardly ever need to do exstensive text editing in console mode... [22:08] ^Jimbo^: You are still hilighting the wrong person... [22:08] I can use skype but i have a friend with a slow connection half-way across the world. Wanted them to install something small rather than having to download huge old skype [22:08] wiehan: you have gvim for a gui [22:08] darn [22:08] <^Jimbo^> dennda: Sorry [22:08] anyone have any idea where in my filesystem /syslinux is? google didn't help and i dont know the command to find stuff [22:08] demism: I dont know any alternative skype clients [22:08] olskolirc: And http://www.xaraxtreme.org/ is new and interesting, haven't tried it yet. [22:08] jrib I know, but I am referring to console mode (should have stated that earlier) [22:08] demism: he could download it while he sleeps [22:08] Anyone have any idea why I can't run snes9x in fullscreen mode on my ps3 unless I use a 'fullscreen' ps3-video-mode (and thus have the associated overscan issues)? I get the following error: XF86DGANoDirectVideoMode [22:09] Bad_Magic[GoD]: have you tried zsnes? [22:09] amirman have you tried "Ctrl + F" [22:09] hello, i am newbie in Linux, somebody have tutorials or instructions? [22:09] amirman, have you tried the search function of nautilus? [22:09] amirman: I think you can find it by doing find / -name syslinux :P [22:09] ActionParsnip: true, any messenger client for linux that uses yahoo and allows mic/webcam? [22:09] jrib: thanks, the error msg is no longer ther.. know any websites where I can get a great set out themes - I mainly need some schemes for programing in python, c++, and makefiles [22:09] hakerpawel use google, or ask specific questions in here [22:09] * demism thanks you guys, good looking out. [22:09] demism: i dont use yahoo, pidgin is a decent client, amsn supports webcam i think [22:10] mreyfout: vim.org I really like inkpot [22:10] wiehan: other search engines aer good too :) [22:10] Eoraptor_: yeah, it just hangs and hangs, but i know i have it installed somehwere [22:10] Any networking geeks around? A pal ain't go a loopback device. ifconfig lo shows the device as being present and configured, ifconfig doesn't. And running ifconfig knocks out network connectivity for a few seconds. [22:10] ActionParsnip Google is the best, google own you and me and did our girlfriends [22:10] Hi, could someone please add xmms again? audacious isn't good enough and xmms2 is crap. So, anyone? [22:10] wiehan: i use ask.com too [22:10] !xmms | wam [22:10] wam: xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. [22:11] debCarlos: with sudo? [22:11] jrib: so, but it works?! [22:11] debCarlos: i'm getting permission denied to a lot of folders [22:11] jamesish: does he have auto lo then iface lo inet loopback [22:11] amirman: oh [22:11] amirman: You can do it with sudo :) [22:11] wam: so you need to comment on relevant bugs. If you want to maintain it you can probably get it back in [22:11] amirman: It's not exactly necessary but... [22:11] amirmand if you really know what you are doing then type sudo nautilus [22:12] debCarlos: it's running really slowly, i hope it's not killing the directory [22:12] sudo skype [22:12] how do i resize a partition in ubuntu? [22:12] !gksu wiehan amirman [22:12] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:12] amirman: no, it's just looking over all your system, and that takes a long time, dont worry :) [22:12] amirman:see man chown and man chmod [22:13] gpartee [22:13] *gparted, ronnald [22:13] How can I share my files and folders using NFS, but with GUI? [22:13] !wireless [22:13] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [22:13] Eoraptor_: i wouldnt advise that for 2 reasons. 1. gui apps use gksu, 2. running web apps as root is asking for problems [22:13] !gksu | wiehan amirman [22:13] wiehan amirman: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [22:13] wam: Have you tried to get used to Rhythmbox? It's not that bad if you just use the docked controls. [22:13] Is there a general chat channel? [22:13] guntbert:: that really doesn't apply to me [22:13] Floid: whargh ;) [22:13] !nfs | habit [22:13] habit: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [22:13] Floid: too much magic [22:13] DasEi: i don't need to chown anything [22:14] !ot | Zaiden [22:14] Zaiden: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [22:14] ActionParsnip, thanks a lot! [22:14] Thank you [22:14] wam: Not really, it just scans directories on startup. [22:14] habit: dont be afraid to edit config files [22:14] habit: often they are so simple its ridiculous [22:14] Floid: this IS already too much magic. I think I'll get to some commandline interface. [22:14] Well, there are plenty of options there. :) [22:14] amirman: wiehan told you to use "sudo nautilus" but thats a bad idea [22:15] Take a look at whatever JWZ was using for his jukebox a few years ago. [22:15] rdw200169, I've installed it but i can't resize my boot partition, why? [22:15] guntbert: yeah, i usually don't use nautilus to do root level stuff [22:15] i am totally unable to unmount an iso file. it tells me the device is busy when it is not being used by anything. i'm typing 'sudo umount /home/ssb/myst/' [22:15] sheesh, i think i'm going to stick with setuptools for distribution [22:15] it'd be `gksu nautilus` not `sudo nautilus`, even if we were resigning ourselves to using a root nautilus window [22:15] wiehan: you should use gksu for gui apps as it sets up the environment correctly, lso sudo uses roots configs, gksu uses the users settings but elevates permissions [22:15] guntbert: i like seeing information on what's happening [22:15] guntbert thanks for correcting me, but as it states in your link it doesn't really matter... but I'll use and advise gksudo from now on [22:15] whta: are you 'cd'ed into the directory somewhere? [22:16] jrib: no. i tried it after just logging on and it didn't work [22:16] wiehan: It does matter. gksu (or gksudo) should always be used for graphical programs, or you can have issues trying to log in. [22:16] amirman: I suppose so :), but IF you do, use gksu, instead of sudo [22:16] whta: is your pwd in that mountpoint? try cd ~/ sudo umount /home/ssb/myst [22:16] wiehan: my general rule is that if you absolutely know everything will go fine nautilus in root is fine, otherwise you might as well use the CLI so you can see what if anything goes wrong [22:16] hi all, does anyone know of a good gtk+ ide that i can use glade with [22:17] wiehan: didn't want to "correct" you :) [22:17] flannel amirman I've been using it since gutsy and have never had a problem, ever [22:17] !worksforme | wiehan [22:17] wiehan: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [22:17] actionparsnip: it still says the device is busy. i've mounted files here before with no issue, as well [22:17] wiehan: you can damage ownerships and permissions of files [22:17] whta: try a reboot [22:17] hi all, does anyone know of a good gtk+ ide that i can use glade with [22:17] I have an onboard nic, intel 8257EI gigabit ethernet controller, it shows up in lshw as unclaimed, how do I get it working?

[22:18] kira_: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [22:18] kira_, rephrase that a little... its not real clear. [22:18] Hi, I'm having a problem (trying to install Windows XP), "fdisk -l" detects my partitions properly, but GParted and qtParted cannot detect my partitions (GParted detects my entire HDD as "unallocated" and qtParted errors). Can someone help? [22:18] vbman: Whatever the GNOME one is? (Anjaya or something?) [22:18] anyone know a good tutorial for moving /boot to it's own partition ? [22:18] Er, Anjuta. [22:18] !home | JackWinter [22:18] JackWinter: Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [22:18] kira_, by default root can not directly login via ssh. You have to login as your initial user, and use sudo [22:18] no i have not set a root password [22:19] ActionParsnip, can you tell me what means 'sync' option? [22:19] cool thats ok thanks [22:19] ActionParsnip, it's about nfs [22:19] JackWinter: except do it with boot, instead of home. (And then you need to use the first link in !grub) to change stage1 to look for the new boot.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [22:21] staddum what is the problem? otherwise use google [22:22] Jordan_U: thanks [22:22] well. . i used google and i couln't find [22:22] vbman11: np [22:22] staddum: just ask the question, if someone knows the solution they'll respond. [22:22] well, i just installed ubuntu, and im new trying to install my GRAPHIC CARD drivers and my sound drivers [22:22] How am i suppose to do it? [22:22] staddum: those should be installed with ubuntu [22:22] staddum: What graphics card do you have? [22:23] Anyone here using tightvncserver and 64bit ubuntu? I can't get tightvnc-java working any attempt to connect via a web browser crashes the vnc server. [22:23] Do you people realise that I've NEVER EVER had a question answered in this channel!!! And it's been at least 50 questions and counting [22:23] Jordan_U, nvidia geforce 7300GS [22:23] staddum: Have you tried System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers ?

I've tried installing the e1000 mod & that did absolutely nothing [22:26] histo, vnc4server, tightvnc, and perhaps some other vnc-varants. :) depending on your needs. [22:26] ActionParsnip: I can use x11vnc but my resolution is huge on my current desktop making it slow client or not. [22:26] wiehan: Dude, even google knows that: http://www.google.com/search?q=answer+to+life%2C+the+universe%2C+and+everything [22:26] histo: use masses of compression to make it faster [22:26] echo $PYTHONPATH returns nothing. Python still works so I think I'm missing something. [22:26] histo, i find it often is best to use vnc4server (or other) and a very minimal desktop. for best speeds [22:26] Jordan_U: offtopic dude [22:27] H0T_R0D: there is one, it's called deb(something) [22:27] H0T_R0D: i forgot the exact name, i'll look it up [22:28] dr_willis: yeah that would be nice but its painfully slow compared to tightvnc [22:28] H0T_R0D: Try running "sudo dpkg -l". [22:28] dr_willis, why don`t you use the terminal-server-client, which comes with ubuntu? [22:28] hello [22:28] Is there a way to manage Bind9 through an http interface? [22:28] H0T_R0D: That should list all the packages that have been installed. [22:29] jrib: Thanks, but I'm not sure if applying the new colorscheme properly.. when I open a c++ file, it does seem to recogize the reserved work? [22:29] Eoraptor_, becuse I often want the features that vnc gives me.. hidden, persistant, 'desktops' [22:29] Hey guys. I got banned from politics, don't know when I can go back. What's up? [22:29] I need to be able to manage my DNS records through an http interface.... [22:29] ActionParsnip: dr_willis I'm contimplating installing intrepid in a vm to see if the problem persists with the new version. [22:29] How do I check the version of a program (pidgin in this case)? [22:29] i swapped disk drives and now i have a sound issue [22:29] histo: worth a try [22:29] thanks! [22:29] anyone familiar with alsa [22:29] lucas_: apt-cache shopkg packagename [22:29] lucas_: apt-cache policy package [22:29] histo: if you get a score then make sure you let folks know [22:29] histo, youmean you notice tightvnc being faster/slower then vnc4server ? Ive not noticed any differances.. but its a bit hard to benchmark such things. [22:29] mreyfout: I don't understand what you said [22:29] Thanks [22:29] jrib: Thanks, but I'm not sure if applying the new colorscheme properly.. when I open a c++ file, it does seem to recognize the reserved words? [22:29] dr_willis: Huge difference. [22:30] mreyfout: did you do ":syntax on"? [22:30] dr_willis: then again tightvncserver is using a seperate desktop that is lower res. [22:30] H0T_R0D: There's a similar program called "debfoster" that does a similar job [22:30] Ubuntu found all the necessary drivers of the new system [22:30] but oddly enough the sound is now distorted [22:30] histo: Do you use compiz? One might be using compiz and the other not, AIGLX doesn't do xdamage nearly as well IIRC [22:30] it plays...but with lots of static [22:30] histo, im only using it on a local lan. its possible both can do the same compression and so forth. I normally use jwm/icewm on the vnc desktops also. vnc4server can use its own desktop same as tightvncserver. Could be some other settings also. # of colors, and so forth as well [22:31] any ideas what went wrong [22:31] dr_willis, maybe i should try it, too! [22:31] Deus_ex_machina: id head into ubuntu+1 if its intrepid [22:31] glasmark: That wouldn't really be a topic for this channel. [22:31] jrib: Thanks, that did the trick [22:31] sorry, leaving now [22:31] dr_willis: can you use vnc-java with vnc4server? [22:31] intrepid_ [22:31] ? [22:31] Eoraptor_, i tend to have a vncserver going with jwm, and a xterm or 2. and perhaps a torrent client. [22:31] Hi, i have ubuntu installed on my dell laptop, now i want to install xp also for games, but the xp CD cant see the partitions i think, the screen remain black/blank, how can i install xp, While there is unpartitioned free space. [22:31] histo, ive found the vnc-java stuff SO slow as to be unuseable . but ive not tried it in ages.. [22:32] how can i learn dbus for python? [22:32] histo, i always use a vncclient. [22:32] dr_willis: yeah. [22:32] sarthor: you need to reduce the partition sizes to leave space for xp to install [22:32] histo, i tend to use 'ultravnc' under wndows also. It could be some clients/servers auto-negoiate to get best speeds also. [22:32] sarthor: Try ##windows, but for when windows overwrites grub from the MBR see... [22:32] !grub | sarthor [22:32] sarthor: 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 [22:33] dr_willis: Yeah i'm going to try the new version of tightvnc with intrepid and see if that fixes some of the bugs. [22:33] I think im slowly beginning to understand why people buy entire new PC systems.....one change and the whole thing goes south [22:33] sarthor: if there is unpartitioned unallocated space then xp can use that, you may need sata drivers if the internal drive is serial ata [22:33] well, i think my graphic card is already installed. . now im trying to install my sound card [22:33] any tips? [22:33] sarthor: you can play games with wine usually [22:33] well, ok just to be fair, swapping the hard drive isnt a small thing [22:33] Then maybe we could get a backport. [22:33] (i dunno what's my soundcard) [22:33] but still [22:33] it should be able to find the new drivers [22:33] staddum: use lspci to see your hardware [22:33] ActionParsnip: It's worth it to note games run much poorer in Linux than they do in Windows [22:33] histo, one reason i started using vnc4server ages ago was it had the least bugs. :) ive not even tried others lately [22:33] and when i install packages what folder do they get downloaded to...? [22:33] temp something? [22:33] keepsak1: counterstrike source actually gains a few frames [22:33] H0T_R0D: the package files themselves? [22:33] yes [22:34] how can i get ubuntu NOT to load sound drivers [22:34] on boot [22:34] keepsak1: and urban terror runs amazingly better on linux [22:34] H0T_R0D: /vra/cache/apt/archives/ [22:34] ActionParsnip: Strange, Counter-Strike Source for me runs at 10fps in Linux, while it does at 70+ in Windows [22:34] H0T_R0D: /var/cache/apt/archives/ [22:34] thats it [22:34] keepsak1: yuo obviously have kept the default config [22:34] ActionParsnip: I have an ATI card, which probably explains why. [22:34] dr_willis: Well tightvncserver looks very nice if some of the bugs get worked out. [22:34] ActionParsnip: No, the config was completely customized [22:34] keepsak1: yep, ati sucks imho too [22:35] ok if i burn that archives to a cd i can reinstall the packages from a cdrom drive using dpkg? [22:35] i need help with madwifi, can somebody help me? it has just stopped working. i can't see any networks [22:35] When I try to install the newest version of Pidgin, it says "Dependency is not satisfiable: libpurple0" [22:35] ActionParsnip: Too bad too, this card isn't normally bad =\ [22:35] keepsak1: my onboard nvidia plays it fine [22:35] What is wrong? [22:35] ActionParsnip: ATI has pretty bad support on Linux, and fglrx is pretty gad [22:35] bad* [22:35] lucas_: you need to install libpurple [22:35] the popularity of windows persists... [22:35] dr_willis: I believe tightvncserver is just a rapper for xvnc anyways or vnc4server [22:35] ActionParsnip, it is installed [22:35] dr_willis: the tightvnc-java package is the issue [22:36] rdw200169, just because everyone is using it.. dosent mean its popular. :) [22:36] lucas_: you may need a later version [22:36] keepsak1: thats why your windows games run better [22:36] i'm referring to corporate popularity [22:36] dr_willis: Isn't that what popular is defined as though? === vicky_ is now known as __vicky__ [22:36] histo, Hmm.. ive never noticed that.. [22:36] wifi question; every time the interface comes up it's at 1mbps and needs "sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M" to get it working properly; is there a config file this can go into so it will get done automaticallt? /etc/network/if-pre-up? [22:36] lucas_: does it not install if you update from repos [22:36] keepsak1, Not really. :) i would use the term 'commonplace' instead of popular [22:37] ActionParsnip: Yeah, which is why I'm trying to reinstall Windows, but the only problem is, Window setup doesn't detect my partitions and GParted detects them as "unallocated" =\. [22:37] !wifi [22:37] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [22:38] keepsak1: id get a separate drive myself, but thats me [22:38] dr_willis: trying the intrepid packages to see how they go. [22:38] I just corrupted my partition table installing PCBSD. How would I go about recovering the data? [22:38] ActionParsnip: I would, but I don't have one with me at the moment, which bothers me =\ [22:38] deepfriedsquirre: Have you tried using Testdisk? [22:38] lucas_: is pidgin on later than 2.4.1 [22:38] Nope, thanks I'll google [22:38] how am i suppose to install my sound card (sorry, im really new to this OS) [22:39] found the answer ;) [22:39] keepsak1: ive never used gparted as I always plan my partitioning [22:39] !sound | staddum [22:39] hey I need help with a dual boot problem can somebody help?

[23:19] keepsak1: i'll try it, and telll you what happend [23:19] el3allali: okay, although if you don't shut down X first, you might need to restart [23:19] I love Ubuntu [23:19] I just have to get the hang of this terminal thing. [23:20] keepsak1: is it nice if i restart only x ? (alt+ctrl+<- or logout) [23:21] i was suggested to try posting this again. Does anyone know the "Window Class" name for the "splash screen" that comes up behind the password box for gksudo? [23:21] i have a semi ubuntu related question and i dont know anyone as helpful as you guys: ok so many moons ago i finally decided to fully make the switch on my laptop over to ubuntu; however, i have decided to dual boot with windows now for gaming purposes; however, even though ubuntu fully recognizes my wireless windows doesnt pick up on it at all. is this purely windows suck? or ubuntu... [23:21] ...stupidity? (also if you have a way to fix it it would be lovely if you would tell me) [23:21] el3allali: I'd suggest using alt-shift-f2 (or whichever shortcut it was that switched you into terminal mode), then use "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" to restart x [23:21] what package are the manual pages for malloc, memcpy, etc. located? [23:21] purpleback: this is purely a windows problem. [23:21] keepsak1: "/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: xorg-server n'est pas installé" [23:21] orangey: know any solutions? D: [23:22] i got this ?! [23:22] purpleback: in a dual-boot situation, there's basically no way that ubuntu is interfering. [23:22] purpleback: sure. Get the correct drivers. [23:22] haha i have the complete opposite problem - my windows wireless works and ubuntu doesnt work [23:22] purpleback: beyond that, I think you probably need to take it up with the manufacturer / #windows [23:22] el3allali: strange, let me have a look [23:22] orangey: how do i do that when it has no internet connection? D: [23:22] purpleback: well, it works in ubuntu, right? [23:22] keepsak1: take your time [23:22] yes. [23:22] el3allali: oops, it should be "xserver-xorg" [23:23] purpleback: download there and put it on a USB key or copy it over (Ubuntu should be able to read your partition) [23:23] orangey: how do i figure out which drivers i need, and how do i copy it over? [23:23] jasuus: c++? [23:23] purpleback: by this point we're way outside of the #ubuntu domain. [23:23] el3allali: try ctrl-alt-f2 [23:23] #ubuntu: :D anyone here know the Window Class name for the UAC-like shading window behind the password box for gksudo? I need it to exclude it from a Wobbly Windows for map [23:23] orangey: the second part of that question isnt :D [23:24] hi [23:24] hiya [23:24] purpleback: This is fundamentally a windows problem: How do you get a network driver on a network-less computer. Personally, my solution was to upgrade my windows to Ubuntu or some similarly pain-free distro. [23:25] Hmm. Has anyone noticed a way to disable that 'dimming of the background' when the 'enter password' dialog pops up? Using xdmcp and its REALLY annoying. [23:25] linux iptables question: i'm running my network though IPTABLES + MASQ and I cannot VPN to a PPTP server on another network....any ideas? [23:25] I need help. I've burn a CD with Ubuntu but... i think is only LiveCD. What is the name of the "Ubuntu-WindowsKiller"? [23:26] dr_willis: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-435755.html === EvilDaemon is now known as cnn [23:26] keepsak1, they're still out of order [23:26] Inveterat: what are you tring to do? === cnn is now known as http [23:26] Inveterat: the LiveCD is the full install of ubuntu.. some would call it a windows killer OS.. :) [23:26] keepsak1: i already tried this one yesterday, it asked me about keyboard layout, Kb lang . nothing about graphics ?!! [23:26] monotoko, cool. :) ive just noticed how SLOW it makes my xdmcp session when it does that. === http is now known as EvilDaemon [23:27] I want to install any kind of Linux.. I want to swip off Windows. [23:27] i tried it just now too [23:27] Inveterat: the live CD will do that [23:27] np man, i noticed that too [23:27] yea¿? [23:27] Is Ubuntu 8.04.1 [23:27] Inveterat: just wipe out the partition you want. [23:27] yep. it'll do it. [23:27] Uooo [23:27] ok! [23:27] thanks [23:27] just make sure the information you want is backed up [23:28] mike-d: Are you installing from the alternate CD or desktop? [23:28] I hope to see U soon, but using Unix [23:28] desktop [23:28] Inveterat: not Unix.... Linux.. Ubuntu [23:28] XD [23:28] sorry [23:28] np [23:28] IntuitiveNipple: i think i found the problem, a thread claims that ahci conflicts with ata_piix, you have to load the ahci driver first, but by default the cd loads ata_piix first, which lets it see the cd drives but not the harddrives, you have to use ata_piix.blacklist=yes boot option then modprobe it when the installer complains that it can't see a cd [23:28] really wierd but apparently it works [23:29] mike-d: oooo! tell me if that works... that needs documenting in the forums! [23:29] I will try an spanish version called "Guadalinex" [23:29] yesterday they show the new V5 [23:30] well thanks all [23:30] bb!!
