[00:03] Jack_Sparrow, Ah. okay. [00:04] I appearently need to change the permissions on /etc/sudoers which I guess I need to do by restarting in recovery mode. If I do that will I still be able to access the box via vnc? It is the only way I access the box. [00:04] Why does the default Ubuntu installation have two cron daemons and two sysloggers? [00:04] I booted livecd 8.04 on laptop with wifi. How to start the wifi? Im using WPA-personal, I have the channel number, password and all [00:05] LimCore: you should be able to see available wireless networks by clicking the network icon in the top-right corner. [00:05] wireless networks broadcasting SSID's, naturally.

[00:11] Scunizi: photoshop i think, but Gimp can open it too [00:11] xbxb: use cryptsetup luks [00:11] LimCore: otherwise you need to configure it manually. System -> Administration -> Networking. [00:11] paolo: id find out what wireless chip is in it, the manufacturer doesnt have much bearing really [00:11] case^, :( [00:11] i have a broplem on my ubuntu disktop [00:11] tim167: maybe imagemagick can do it with the convert command. never tried.. hang on I'll look [00:11] ActionParsnip: i see, let's check, thnks [00:11] Scunizi: thanks! [00:12] LimCore: It should re-scan when clicking the network icon again, but I'm not sure. I'd go with the manual configuration. [00:12] Limcore sudo iwlist eth?? scan [00:12] ESSID is what? is it the same as SSID for example "homefoo" (if "homefoo" is set by AP) [00:12] where the ??'s should be a number depending on your wireless card. [00:12] LimCore: yes. [00:12] tim167: convert file.psd converted.png === Sad`Panda is now known as sad`panda [00:12] tim167: you'll need to sudo apt-get install imagemagick [00:13] ActionParsnip: thanks! seems to work... [00:13] imagemagick is awesome [00:13] can someone help me with why gnome appearance prefs will not immediately change cursor themes? [00:14] iflist wlan0 channel shows it is set to channel 1 instead of 8. how to change that [00:14] =1 [00:15] LimCore: you can set it in /etc/network/interfaces [00:15] do I need to enable Broadcom B43 wireless driver? [00:16] tim167: looks like it will.. here's a link for how to use convert and another that is a thread on exactly what you're trying to do. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/convert-psd-to-jpeg-485296/ and http://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php [00:16] I need to boot up as root at a shell prompt. From what I see I need to hold ESC during a reboot but I have tried that. Is that correct? When do I hold ESC? [00:16] how do i uninstal something i can't find in synaptic? [00:17] pan_, I like "sudo apt-get remove " [00:17] LimCore: depends on what wlan network adapter your laptop has. since you described as being an Intel laptop, you probably won't be needing it. [00:17] pan_: sudo apt-get remove [00:17] Execute lspci and check it out. [00:18] tim167: sudo apt-get install imagemagick.. then cd to the directory location of the image(s) and try it on one to see what happens.. convert .. if they are multi layered images it will break them apart but there is a way to keep them together. [00:18] maestrojed: most installs prompt for grub where you press esc - then you can get a root shell from there [00:18] anars: if my wireless shows in ifconfig -a as wlan0 then it means that kernel knows how to use it right? or not always? [00:18] Scunizi: oh i see, actually i wanted the layers on top of eachother just like they appear when opened in Gimp [00:19] ActionParsnip: you hapepn to knwo what info ubottu woudl have given? Ive followed the links on the ubuntu site and de nada, something is wrong, I get the SGI for glx, but opengl is still mesa3d indirect [00:19] LimCore: then you're most likely good to go :-) [00:19] CartoonCat: i think it uses the "ati" driver [00:19] LimCore: don't worry about driver issues then. concentrate on configuration of wlan0 [00:19] Tree: what do you mean by grub? [00:19] ActionParsnip, yea i have that configured.... [00:19] LimCore, which card ? [00:20] Scunizi: (i started convert *.psd *.jpg, its still running now, will see what comes out...) [00:20] tim167: read the link that has the threaded conversation.. they mention how to do it with convert towards the bottom.. it's an additional command to give convert prior to the file names.. It will "squish" the layers together as they are. [00:20] i want to install python into my apache server, so i downloaded mod_python, but i cannot install it [00:20] hmm, I'm using terminal server client to a windows 2003 server, but it is rendering much slower than the xp / vista version...

[00:20] another question: is there a chance to install a driver for this: 2001:3a02 D-Link Corp. without using ndiswrapper ? === benzs_s is now known as benzss [00:20] woli you should be able to install mod_python through the repositories. [00:20] paolo: what chip does it use? [00:20] ActionParsnip, isnt that a 3d desktop widget? [00:20] tim167: if you have layers on the psd files you're going to get TONS of jpgs.. each one will be a different layer. [00:20] Scunizi: very cool indeed :) will check [00:21] woli but if you want python for cgi scripting and such, you don't actually need mod_python. [00:21] CartoonCat: no, its a way to install graphics drivers for ati and nvidia [00:21] ActionParsnip: how can i check what chip it uses ? [00:21] ah well ill google it then [00:21] Tulimaq: Im not sure... =) some intell laptop [00:21] odinsbane: with sudo apt-get install mod_python ?

[00:22] woli, libapache2-mod-python [00:22] paolo: anything in lspci? [00:22] ActionParsnip: no, it's an usb card [00:22] why should it appear in lspci ?? [00:22] thanks odinsbane [00:22] hmm ok I did applied the changes in network config.... how to test does it actually work [00:23] woli provided you are using apache2.

[00:24] basically web applications i guess [00:24] i keep having to go into the third level choosers option, and checking and unchecking the box [00:24] paolo: you could try madwifi [00:24] ActionParsnip: what is it? [00:24] paolo: its a bunch of wireless drivers [00:24] Tulimaq: it says interface doenst support scanning network is down [00:25] ActionParsnip: i see, let's try [00:25] paolo: it may help, yuo can always remove if its no good [00:25] madwifi does not support usb devices [00:25] woli, well I installed mod python because it doesnt take up much space, but I haven't used it once. Plus if you want to use a shared host or something else later odds are you won't have access to it. [00:25] ActionParsnip: but how can i check if my device is supported by this driver? [00:26] odinsbane: what i'm working on right now is a lan server, or webpage [00:26] paolo: you could check the website [00:26] paolo: or you could just try it [00:26] ActionParsnip: well, i've found the #madwifi channel :) [00:26] paolo: CartoonCat says it doesnt support usb devices [00:26] hello, I have a little problem with the compose key: it doesn't work the same when I am in a terminal and when I am in another app (firefox for example) [00:27] LimCore, then u need to install firmware for the card i think, but first add repository and then use restricted driver manager to install it [00:27] paolo, google the putput of lsusb, fastest way to find the driver [00:27] hmmm [00:27] Is there a way to find out which file corresponds to the "firefox" layout of the compose key ? [00:27] paolo: i always buy compatible stuff so ive never had to do this sort of thing so im googling and asking away [00:27] Woli it doesn't hurt to install it.

[01:04] in proftpd how do i change the logout time? it seems like if im not transfering something or doing something within 20 seconds it logs out [01:04] What was the output of using "setup" rather than 'status' or 'restart' [01:04] setup did not do anything [01:04] it just gave me a usage line [01:04] what kind of help abbot? [01:04] i'm having a problem with an 8.04 install on a new dell machine. i've tried 3 different burns and i get errors like this when i try to start the install. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3019/2876626155_4cc076c6a7.jpg [01:05] Hrmm... maybe it's a difference between the Ubuntu OSE version, and the Sun 2.0 version I'm running now [01:05] i will try to re-install, see how that works [01:05] thanks for your time [01:06] abbot : never encountered that kind of error.. [01:07] which model of Dell... ? [01:07] i get the same thing if i choose install or check disc for errors [01:07] abbot have you tried 8.04.1? [01:07] tim167: so.. what happened.. did you get it to work? [01:07] i had that error the other day on a acer one using a 8.04 disc but an 8.04.1 worked [01:08] where's that [01:09] abbot its the latest downlaodable iso, you may have it if you had downlaoded recently, the 8.04 was the first release of LTs [01:09] hi, ufw doesnt work! i add a lot of rules and nothing are blocked! why? [01:09] koshari: in that case, i've already tried it. [01:09] hmmmm [01:09] wow, why do i never get responce on ubuntu? why do i usualy getit at linux [01:09] for intel 64 bit CPU - which distro I get, i386, or amd64, or.. ? [01:09] is there a specific command/method to use the terminal to create a backup of a file? [01:10] Is there a way to remove the kubuntu partition I just installed? [01:10] LimCore: amd64 [01:10] LimCore: amd64, if you want. [01:10] so.. amd64 is for INTEL 64... ok cool =) [01:10] andaconda 3 SUCKS! [01:11] LimCore: would it be better if they'd call it amd64-em64t? :) [01:11] I installed kubuntu and I hate it ... How do I get it off my system? [01:11] why amd64 for an intel 64 CPU? [01:11] smm289: you'd be better off installing the version from vbox's site.. then for the kernel error look in System/Admin/Synaptic Package Manager .. search for virtualbox and you'll see the kernel file [01:11] omegachicken64: because AMD invented em64t [01:11] sudo apt-get remove kde-desktop i guess [01:12] xbxb: oh ok, thanks [01:12] Should call it x64 just to avoid this question :) [01:12] hi [01:12] hi, maxagaz [01:12] omegachicken64: well, em64t is the intel name for it [01:12] falstaff: by installing something else, like a Mojave (lol) over it [01:12] omegachicken64: amd invented x86-64, and intel copied it and named it em64t [01:12] falstaff, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [01:12] where can I download the iso of ubuntu remix to install it on a usb key ? [01:12] xbxb: so it's the same distro? just a different name? [01:13] sound recording doesnt work on my laptop. can you help? [01:13] omegachicken64: same distro as what? I was talking about CPUs here, not distros [01:13] LimCore, please take this seriously - he might just follow your instructions and be distraught later [01:13] i suggest gnome+xmonad :) [01:14] !nvidia [01:14] xbxb: oh, so x86-64 and em64t are the amd/intel names for the processors? [01:14] this is a brand new box. it should work. could it be incompatable hardware? its a dell machine that came with FreeDOS [01:14] omegachicken64: for the instruction sets of their 64 bit processors, yes. [01:14] hi [01:14] hi, thomaskkkk [01:14] omegachicken64: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64 [01:14] xbxb: ahh gotcha, my fault. [01:14] tripitakit: Have you tried Awesome too? How does it compare to Xmonad? [01:15] join #joomla [01:15] abbot have u tried a debian install ? [01:15] no [01:15] i have awesome too but i dont spent much time on it [01:15] i've got XP on it now [01:15] Hi. i've got desktop with Nvidia 8400GS. Nvidia opensource driver worked OK but when i installed Envy it does not work and fallback to safe mode. What's wrong? [01:16] i found xmonad perfectly fitting in gnome and the couple is really amazing [01:16] Hrmm... may have to investigate [01:16] nvidia oss driver is glitchy [01:16] I've always liked the idea of tiling managers, but never got around to using any of them [01:17] well i had to get the backports form debian etch ... [01:17] cause hardy has xmonad 0.6 and i coudnt make it work with gnome [01:17] Goran_ they have an OSS driver? [01:17] the debian etch backports are 0.8-1 [01:18] how to put Computer, Home, Pictures etc icons on Gnomes desktop? [01:18] It looks like Hardy is up to .0.7,1 now [01:18] !acrobat [01:18] NickRead: it has been a bit hard at the beginning but now it's all perfectly working [01:18] !ubotu [01:19] is ubotu down? [01:19] Yhapster, yes [01:19] boo [01:19] anyone have instructions on how to install Acrobat on Hardy? [01:19] are there any ways to speed up nautilus when it's loading a directory with lots of files ? [01:19] i have a PDF that i need to open in it [01:20] when I open my mp3 folder it takes like 5-10 secs for it load [01:20] opps? [01:20] The default nvidia driver seems to work better for me... Flash videos lag when I use the closed source one [01:20] Yhapster, enable the medibuntu repos - then install acroread [01:20] can I install ubuntu alternate by Wubi? or must use ubuntu-desktop [01:20] Yhapster, or alternatively, there is xpdf which will read PDF files [01:20] unop: ok, that's what I thought, thanks [01:20] unop: i have a passport application that needs to be filled in, that's why [01:21] Yhapster, acroread it is then [01:21] Ubuntu even automatically detects my printer now <3 [01:21] unop: thanks :D [01:21] at the very end of all the questions before the installer starts copying, you can clikc advanced and specify where to install grub, but how do i know for sure what i need to enter there? [01:22] i mean i know on what disk i want it [01:22] but i don know how to tell that to the installer [01:24] how come I get a segfault when I run xsane as a normal user [01:24] and if I run as root everything is fine [01:27] orifice: Google is your friend: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2092 [01:27] google is not my friend [01:28] I never said it was yours :p [01:28] Substitute "Google" with your favourite search engine [01:28] I don't like him either.

[01:41] ouch [01:41] Kolma: Try a format & reinstall [01:41] Detrix42: use imap for gmail [01:41] Kolma: Can you try a fresh install?

[01:42] no cd's :/ === kira is now known as Guest26626 [01:43] I'm running a live cd of Hardy, via a usb flash drive. Is there a way for me to install updates to Hardy on the drive while I'm running the live cd from it? [01:43] I've got last kernel compiled with gcc 4.2.3 but gcc is upgraded on 4.2.4 at the same time! :( how to fix? [01:43] if i partitioned a new drive.... how do i mount it? [01:43] wait i can install hardy off a usb flash drive? [01:43] also I want to switch to the KDE window manager. I believe I have installed it through the synaptic package manager, off of a Unbuntu live DVD. now how do I switch it from Gnome to KDE??? [01:43] Kolma: How old is that machine? [01:43] i want to instal on my ubuntu machine XP also ... so ei if got gpartet livecd and have a free partion but after XP install how can reinit the grub and MBR to got ubuntu and XP in grub? [01:43] Yes you can. [01:43] i have no idea D: [01:43] It works really well. [01:43] i just bought it recently for 20 bucks xD' [01:43] Anyone good with MythTV here? [01:43] Mr_Fixit: gparted can mount your new partition [01:44] isnt there an Instal icon liveguy? [01:44] I need advice on a capture card [01:44] Cause I just looked it up, and I'm seeing references to Linux 2.2.somehting [01:44] !grub | Guest26626 [01:44] the motherboard is BE-6 [01:44] quit [01:44] Yes, there is. [01:44] hmm bot must have died ...... [01:44] by abit [01:44] or lagging [01:44] Here's the story.... [01:44] ok [01:44] where can i download hardy so i can install off a flash drive? [01:44] I've been using 2.4+ for about 4 years now, only ever seen one box using a 2.2 kernel [01:44] did ubuntuforums.org just crash? [01:44] nvm, back up [01:44] -.- [01:45] genius: recompile the kernel of course [01:46] I messed up an XP install. I have two HDD. The main drive is the one I screwed up. It's not damaged, but I have to reformat. I had to use Ubuntu running from a flash drive to do that. (I just did, don't ask why.) I have a second hard drive that has a backup of all of my data. [01:46] djbender: It's from server overload, happened earlier. [01:46] More's coming... [01:46] Mr_Fixit: You can use the mount command as a temporary thing, or edit your /etc/fstab file to give it a "permanent" mount point [01:46] evildaemon, okie [01:46] thx [01:46] Kolma: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/15/usb-ubuntu-804-persistent-install-from-linux/ [01:47] Slokunshialgo: using mount command creates a static mount anyway [01:47] well gparted doesn't have the mount option.. and unmount is greyed out.. [01:47] awesome [01:47] I want to switch to the KDE window manager. I believe I have installed it through the synaptic package manager, off of a Unbuntu live DVD. now how do I switch it from Gnome to KDE??? [01:47] case^: Doesn't it only mount it until the system reboots? [01:47] /etc/fstab what do i throw in there? [01:47] so ill just save my /home to other drive and put those on flash drive and i can install now? [01:47] nope - creates a mount point which it re-uses [01:47] Detrix42: pick the kde session on gdm/kdm [01:47] [01:47] [01:47] [01:47] Silverblaze: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:47] I resized my partition on the second HDD so I could slap Hardy on the end of the drive. I remembered how much I liked Linux and decided I wanted to keep an actual install on my HDD. [01:47] Never seen it do that [01:47] Anyhow.... [01:48] doing it right now on my system [01:48] kitche: can you point some article with the easiest way :) [01:48] i have installed apache2 and loaded a website onto /var/www How can i make this visible to someone outside of my home network ? [01:48] I check there, but the KDE Option is not there (yet) [01:48] genius: not really but I do believe the wiki on ubuntu.com actually has what your looking for [01:48] Daps: dyndns is your friend [01:48] Daps: Tell your router to redirect port 80 to your computer [01:48] The resize is going to be about 4 more hours and I can't reboot without possibly screwing up my only copy of some very precious data. [01:48] genius: see the bot is down it seems so I can't use that to point you to it [01:48] how do i tell it to do that? [01:48] I'm having a problem with Compiz when it generates child-windows for file browsing.. Say for example I click the browse button when choosing which wallpaper to use as my background - the window is created way too high on the screen (negative y co-ordinate) and I have to click my taskbar to see it, then drag it down [01:49] Depends on the router [01:49] Daps: static IP routing normally [01:49] DLink is usually under the "Advanced" tab in the router management page [01:49] kitche: the wiki says that i should not do it without real need [01:49] hola [01:49] I was trying to just surf the net and such, but I can't seem to install any plugins or updates. So (for example) I could watch flash video. [01:49] alguien ke sepa usar telnet? [01:49] case^: i don't know how to go about doing that, can you give me some instruction? [01:49] Slokunshialgo: actually I'm not as sure about mount being permanent [01:49] y alguien que me ayude para instalar hardy [01:50] So, that is why I wanted to figure out how to install new additions to a running "live cd" - since it is actually a flash drive and not a cd. I figured that I would be able to update it just like a full install. [01:50] genius: well you shouldn't really most of the advance people just give up anymore unless they need support for something [01:50] kris-amroth, http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Category:Video_capture_cards [01:50] I have a problem? A windows box created a folder in my "public" and I can't manipulate it? HELP!! I know this isn't a hard problem.

[01:51] exit [01:51] like rename it or delete it. [01:51] Daps: it's not something I can walk you through [01:51] swansk: check the permissions. [01:51] swansk: use chown to change your file permissions [01:51] ls -l [01:51] Xtasiado: Venga a #ubuntu-es, por favor. Yo no se mucho sobre telnet, pero puedo ayudarlo instalar. [01:51] _alejo_ why not trying in a matlab channel? [01:52] err nm [01:52] liveguy81: Does it have a full filesystem on the flash drive, or does it expand files into memory? [01:52] is there a website with instructions? [01:52] I know chown, but the folder name is not English, it's Korean. [01:52] cut and paste? [01:52] Actually, I'm not sure. It appears to have a fully file system. [01:52] swansk, tab-complete [01:52] does matlab have help [01:52] <_alejo_> tripitakit: got no response there [01:52] I don't know the first char [01:52] :) [01:52] hrm [01:52] you can't copy paste the first char in terminal?

[01:56] Can someone help me? [01:56] PostersandGuitar: checked with ls /media [01:56] ? [01:56] SeaPhor : Let me work on that [01:56] hang on, let me see [01:56] kitchie: apparently. You can easily find it in the wiki yourself, liveguy81 [01:56] It wouldn't be a big deal if I didn't have to wait for four more hours before I'm able to interact with ye old net again. [01:56] not listed on ls /media [01:56] What are the security risks of opening up port 80 to the internet while running Ubuntu 8.0 ?? [01:56] it could always find it until now [01:57] Oh really? [01:57] but u booted dont u? [01:57] Yes. [01:57] Depends what you're going to bind to port 80 [01:57] Daps: none, if you don't install anything that listens on it. [01:57] PostersandGuitar: Are you having trouble with an NTFS autmount? [01:57] tomboy notes won't open or do anything at all when i try to open it from the apps menu [01:57] Yes, I can't find the NTFS to mount to. Or the linux to mount to [01:57] If i choose KDE desktop while installing Ubuntu 8.04, that means it will like Kubuntu? [01:57] Daps, theoretically, unless you run a webserver or any other application that listens on this port none [01:57] fyrestrtr: anything that listens ??? [01:58] Daps: yes, like a server process. [01:58] tryed with sudo umount -a ? [01:58] i installed apache2 [01:58] sory [01:58] sudo mount -a [01:58] :D [01:58] Has anyone ever used "Gyach Py! Voice Chat" before? I need help, it's not able to recognize an installed Lib . . . [01:58] Daps: well theorically it's already open :) [01:58] Daps: Apache is pretty secure by default, unless you have changed the configurations [01:58] no change [01:59] haven't changed a thing, this is my 3rd day using linux.. i'm pretty green [01:59] can u cd .. form your ~ [01:59] Daps: tbh I would get to learn the basics first before trying this [01:59] PostersandGuitar: Did you exit Windows cleanly the last time? [01:59] Triptakit: Can you be more clear? [01:59] Bobertdos: Yes [01:59] so i want to take the precautions as i learn... i have an index file in /var/www and can see it from my browser on my localhost address.. but i want to see it from outside [02:00] bah everything is just breaking [02:00] PostersandGuitar: and it's not listed in fdisk? [02:00] However, I didn't the previous time, it got an error when mounting. So I restarted itno windows, cleanly exited, and now it's gone [02:00] I'm trying to use a program, but it won't start saying I don't have the "XML Parser for C" installed, BUT I DO . . . help? [02:00] i mean if u cd .. form your home dir u can go up to the root (/) dont you? [02:00] Hello [02:00] hi, MaleXachi [02:00] case^: i'm not doing so bad so far, i have connected to all my other windows based machines on my network and even started running mediatomb ;) [02:00] It appears to be listed in fdisk [02:00] (form is my way to spell from, sorry) [02:00] -l [02:01] with help from folks like you of course ;) [02:01] Hoi lolmac [02:01] exit [02:01] err [02:01] so it is your ntfs partition u cant see ... ? [02:01] im in root [02:01] swansk, try sudo chown -R user:group /path/to/parent/dir/ then sudo chmod -R 770 /path/to/parent/dir [02:01] tripitakit: no it goes to /home but you keep doing cd .. and you will [02:01] If i choose KDE desktop while installing Ubuntu 8.04, that means it will like Kubuntu? [02:01] I can't see any partitions, except in fdisk [02:01] Daps: That's probably fine then. Static pages should be fine. If you step into running PHP or other CGI programs, be careful! [02:01] I'm at home, in root [02:02] I'm trying to use a program, but it won't start saying I don't have the "XML Parser for C" installed, BUT I DO . . . help? [02:02] Daps: don't get me wrong - this install is only 3 days old as well. NickReads comment is what I was getting at [02:02] I have a question .......... What Linux can be best to start? Suse 10 or unbuntu 8.04? [02:02] Hey guys, for some reason xmonad doesn't start on ubuntu hardy, anyone know about something like this? [02:02] PostersandGuitar: Maybe fstab got corrupted. gksudo gedit /etc/fstab [02:02] i'm at / [02:02] NickRead: problem is i won't know if i step into a danger zone, but thanks for the heads up [02:02] MaleXachi: of course ubuntu.... but we're biased here... :P [02:02] MaleXachi: Ubuntu [02:02] bobertdos: did it [02:02] MaleXachi: Used both, found Ubuntu a lot easier to use [02:03] no change [02:03] Hmzz okay [02:03] PostersandGuitar: Please pastebin the content of the file. [02:03] everything is frozen up and the shutdown/reboot button in the top right corner isn't doing anything. should i just press the restart button on my PC or what? [02:03] case^: not only the install is 3 days old, my exposure to linux is 3 days old... :D but i [02:03] # /etc/fstab: static file system information. [02:03] # [02:03] # [02:03] proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 [02:03] # /dev/sda6 [02:03] PostersandGuitar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

I'd restrict it to your own network until you are sure what's going on. [02:04] grml [02:04] backspace [02:04] hang on [02:04] PostersandGuitar: also if you want to paste something without opening up a browser you can look at pastebinit to auto paste a file to a pastebin [02:04] le_mischa: strg ? [02:04] ok so if i wanted to tell a friend im another city to open my site, where would i send him? http:// what address and how do i get that address, whats teh process ? [02:04] pastebinned [02:04] ... [02:04] ctrl [02:05] You'd need to determine your own IP address [02:05] :P [02:05] Daps u need a static IP [02:05] Daps: go register a domain name, point it to the IP address that you get from your ISP. [02:05] http://paste.ubuntu.com/49127/ [02:05] NickRead: ok, so i am assuming it is restricted now as it is only on my localhost.. [02:05] brb, bathroom [02:05] 3 beer a day keep the english away.. [02:06] Daps: www.dyndns.org [02:06] Daps: Another alternative is DynDNS (or similar providor) [02:06] back [02:06] i purchased a domain name i never got to use about 5 months ago. [02:06] thanks case^ [02:06] so, any suggestions, solutions, placebos? [02:06] PostersandGuitar: Take 30 aspirin, call the emergency room [02:07] Er, that makes no sense [02:07] Placebo [02:07] Daps: well if you bought the domain then you still have it unless its though some rip-off domain registration place like my one domain was though [02:07] You won't remember the problem, thus problem solved [02:07] can i do "ifconfig" and then point the domain to the ip in there? [02:07] People who were helping me? [02:07] It didn't come out as I meant it [02:07] Daps, you mean ipconfig? [02:07] Daps: no, you need to point the domain from the control panel of your domain provider. [02:08] Daps: if you try to do 192.168.1.101:8080 nothing will happen [02:08] Triaptinik, bobertdos, you there? [02:08] PostersandGuitar: As I thought, there is no entry in your fstab for your ntfs partition. [02:08] hey I am trying to enable packet forwarding for my mac laptop, running port, which gives me access to terminal linux applications... so I am running dsniff, wiht the whole ARPspoof setup and I have to figure out how to run this command I used to use on my linux box, I want to forward all the traffec into that file... for ARP spoof purposes... echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [02:08] Can I fix that? [02:08] hi to all [02:09] can somebody tell me how to get to the file /etc/resolv.conf [02:09] ? [02:09] hmm, this seems to be more complex, thanks for the help.. i will tackle it later [02:09] PostersandGuitar: Do you still have it open? [02:09] any idea how to get system beep to come from soundcard ? [02:09] I mean which is the terminal comand ? [02:09] Daps: if you get your external IP and correctly add the port to your routers iptables then yes your friend can see it [02:09] Poster: sudo fdisk -l show them? [02:09] how can I do the linux command echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward on my mac [02:09] I'll reopen t hang on, can we move to a spearate channel? [02:09] PostersandGuitar: You may PM me if you wish. [02:09] Daps: You're right - it is complex. There's a lot of new things you'll need to learn - take your time and be careful :) [02:09] i was wondering if anyone could help me. i just cleanly installed ubuntu and the username/password i gave at startup wont work. tells me that it is incorrect. i have tried reinstalling many times but i get the same error [02:09] case^ i have no idea how to do what you just said, but what you said makes sense... i just don't know how to do it [02:10] Daps: have fun :) [02:10] NickRead: i always thought Linux was safe from viruses and not so hacker prone as Windows... Is that a wrong assumption? === Guest16802 is now known as euud [02:10] case^: thanks [02:10] Strang3r, you can sudo cat /etc/resolv.conf to view,, you can gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf to edit ,,,, [02:11] anyone [02:11] Daps umm safe from viruses to a point and is hacker prone just like Windows but the main system isn't the thing that usually gets touched [02:11] abaddon3k: Do you remake the partitions, or at least format them, every time? [02:11] how can I do the linux command echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward on my mac [02:11] would any one be willing to help me out geting a game to run? plz [02:12] anyone have idea how to get system beep to come from soundcard ? [02:12] slokunshialgo: yes. i made sure to redo the partitions everytime [02:12] jvr: beep, I think [02:12] nikon: the same way you would do it in Linux. On the Mac, just open Terminal, go to root (sudo su -) and do it. [02:12] Slokunshialgo: ? [02:12] abaddon3k: How old is the drive? [02:12] jvr: Mistook what you meant, beep makes it come from the PC speaker [02:12] it tells me the file cannto be found, I dont have that folder on my computer... how can I get that setup [02:13] nikon, there is no equivalent to that command on os x. see man natd. [02:13] slokunshialgo: uhh....not more than a couple years. i honestly don't know seeing as i got it out of a scrap'd comp [02:13] !oem [02:13] I beleive I just put it there for dsniff to use, but does it do it on the "darwin ports" program on my mac [02:13] Slokunshialgo: ive disabled the pcspkr module its bloody annoying, but what I want is a beep to come from the soundcard, i.e: if im in bitchx via terminal i want to know i've got a privmsg etc. [02:14] abaddon3k: If you can peek into the drive (live disk, or soemthing like that) see if the /etc/passwd file exists, and if so, what it contains [02:14] slokunshialgo: ok, i [02:14] will do that. bbs [02:14] jvr: I'm lucky in that my computer doesn't even have one... But alas, no, I don't know how to change that [02:14] abaddon3k: good luck [02:15] fair enough. [02:15] so the package beep is not what i need [02:15] I have some packages (binaries, e.g. VTune and CUDA) which require Ubuntu 7.04.... I'm not sure how forward-compatible these types of packages are... anyone have experience with them ? [02:15] Hydrant: check backports [02:15] Does anyone know if there is a reliable way to write to NTFS from Ubuntu yet? [02:15] Hi how can I install new hardware in Ubuntu ? I have a capture card which is recognized during installation but can't be recognized if it is added after [02:15] liveguy81: yes. [02:16] hello what version of ubuntu recommended me? [02:16] hi, c4st0r [02:16] 8.04 [02:16] liveguy81: umm ntfs-3g is the only "reliable" way [02:16] ok thnks [02:16] Fyrestrtr: how do I do that? [02:16] c4st0r: 8.04.1 [02:16] Oh. [02:16] Is that a default package in Hardy? [02:16] liveguy81: I believe so [02:16] I have another question ........ how do you get your name in irc like for example-MaleXachi-in brown letters shows such as a bone? [02:16] liveguy81: yes [02:17] its for Intel E8500 [02:17] OpenOffice crashed my laptop everytime I open a presentation from Google Docs, what's wrong? [02:17] How do I use it then? When I attempt to make a new partition I don't have NTFS as a filessytem option. [02:17] IntangibleLiquid: save it to your disk first. [02:17] fyrestrtr: so install 7.04 and backport my fav other apps ? [02:17] liveguy81: It cannot make them, but can mount & read/write to them === Rev is now known as Guest68508 [02:17] Hydrant: instal 8.04 and then see what are the updated packages available for your apps [02:17] !info vtune [02:17] Gotcha. [02:17] Thanks. [02:18] fyrestrtr: I did that. But the same problem still exists. [02:18] Is there any way to make the area you can click on to resize windows larger? Trying to grab the corner of a window in Ubuntu is infuriating. [02:18] SeaPhor: thanks [02:18] :) [02:18] liveguy81: fire up gparted - it can show what can and can't be done [02:18] hello all. im trying to set up a firewall. im using ufw. i did "ufw default deny" then "ufw allow 22/tcp" ...i then did "ufw enable"...it says its loaded..but its still accepting ping requests..which i read that it is supposed to drop by default. [02:18] hi, HaSH [02:18] swansk, hope that helped [02:19] case^: Yep, that's what I did when I was trying to make an NTFS partition. [02:19] IntangibleLiquid: what problem? Sorry I don't know what you are referring to? Port forwarding? [02:19] HaSH, check to see that ICMP doesn't require extra configuration with ufw [02:19] Does anyone know if I burn a data cd or dvd in Ubuntu, can it be read in Windows? [02:19] liveguy81: Yeah, it can [02:20] Typh: change your theme, that should help. [02:20] sure it can [02:20] Unless you choose some obscure formatting option, which usually aren't rpesented [02:20] why is ff3 so crash happy even though it's though it's bang up to date? [02:20] Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008072820 Firefox/3.0.1 [02:20] case^: One word: Flash. [02:20] fyrestrtr: ehh, i saved a presentation file to PPT, tried to open it in OO and then OO crashed my laptop everytime [02:20] So it will just be standard ISO or UDF format by default? [02:20] unop, according to the wiki.....it doesnt [02:20] case^: No idea. my compiled version of 3.1 is more stable than 3.0.1 ever could be [02:20] liveguy81: depends on what you decide to burn (data, audio, etc.) [02:20] unop, Note: Security by obscurity may be of very little actual benefit with modern cracker scripts. By default, UFW blocks ping requests. You may find you wish to enable ping to diagnose networking problems. [02:21] Bobertdos, how do [02:21] I reinstall [02:21] Right. I guess I mean to say that it won't be a Linux only format like the main filesystem. [02:21] I burt dvds and cds for years no ubuntu and then have them read on windows and dvd/sound systems [02:21] Slokunshialgo: thank you [02:21] liveguy81: no, CDROMs don't support those. [02:21] never had a problem [02:21] HaSH, then i guess you can change the acronym of UFW from "uncomplicated firewall" to "useless firewall" :) [02:21] s/burt/burn [02:22] liveguy81: a CDROM only supports a few file systems, and those are universal. [02:22] HaSH, sorry, i'm kidding - but i just had to say that :) [02:22] unop, lawl ;-o [02:22] That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure. [02:22] Thanks so much everyone. [02:22] s/no/on/ [02:22] :) [02:22] HaSH, or perhaps more aptly "undecided firewall" [02:22] "uninformed firewall" [02:22] unop, lol [02:23] i thought it could be something in hosts.allow..but its not. [02:23] is back [02:23] after a long long time :-) [02:23] HaSH, i prefer the complicated firewall (iptables) - it just works [02:23] hi unop [02:23] unop, i really wish there was bsd's pf for linux. [02:23] pf rocks [02:24] HaSH: why dont you look into running a BSD kernel ? [02:24] HaSH: have you tried shorewall? Works great. [02:24] What is the correct way to install KDE4 on Ubuntu (with gnome)? [02:24] slokunshialgo: ok, so i booted the liveCD and am in /etc/passwd [02:24] Quadrescence: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [02:24] arbir, ive run fbsd for a while...but just switched over [02:24] Good evening. I had Ubuntu 8.04 partitioned with Vista, and everthing was running fine untill the first time I tried to rebott after starting up in Vista. Vista wiped the contents of the boot partition... Anyone seen this issue? [02:24] abaddon3k: post to www.pastebin.ca [02:24] fyrestrtr: Thought that'd be it. [02:25] fyrestrtr: And that is KDE4, yes? [02:25] fyrestrtr, yea. i just figured that id try the new ufw...seemed like a easy set up..wouldnt have to relearn a bunch of crap. [02:25] Quadrescence: use aptitiude, not apt-get for desktop pakages I think. [02:25] HaSH: did you take a look at this ? http://www.debian.org/ports/kfreebsd-gnu/ [02:25] Quadrescence: but you might soon follow that with sudo apt-get remove --purge --never-install-again-this-crap kubuntu-desktop [02:25] Quadrescence: just a FYI [02:25] ushimitsudoki, it doesn't matter - both will do the same thing [02:25] fyrestrtr: Haha, why is that? [02:25] unop: no they won't [02:25] ushimitsudoki, they don't? ok, you had better explain. [02:25] in fact HaSH i think its called "crosshurd" [02:26] Quadrescence: KDE4 is kubuntu-kde4-desktop [02:26] slokunshialgo: http://www.pastebin.ca/1207926 [02:26] unop: not when it comes time to remove the package [02:26] arbir, nah. if imma run a bsd kernel..its gonna be freebsd or openbsd [02:26] Quadrescence: just my experience. [02:26] HaSH: you can also look into Gentoo's implementation of the BSD kernel... [02:26] does ext3 have problems with writing to and reading from large (500 GB) files? [02:26] Quadrescence: you may love it :) [02:26] fyrestrtr: I have used KDE(3) [02:26] ushimitsudoki, i was referring to using them in an install scenario [02:26] I did not like it very much. But I hear hope for 4. [02:26] * fyrestrtr cries a tear for Quadrescence [02:26] ushimitsudoki, in which case they are almost identical [02:27] xbxb: its a good question. i still use NTFS as my FS for my external HDDs [02:27] Okay, one last question... [02:27] unop: the point is if you install the -desktop with apt-get and then want to later remove it, the dependencies are borked. this is not the case with aptitude [02:27] hello, I am trying to get a USB wifi adatper to work and under the ndiswrapper GUI it keeps saying hardware not present. I have done everything on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/WG111T with no luck...any ideas anyone [02:27] hi, LS1 [02:27] HaSH: i need some help....... can you help me :) ? [02:27] ushimitsudoki: That's entirely wrong. [02:27] Does anyone know of a good program to make an optical media backup? [02:27] hey lolmac [02:27] arbir: we won't know unless you ask a question. [02:27] Flannel: no it is not. i have don't it myself and it is also referenced: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde and many other places [02:28] ushimitsudoki, the point is - apt-get install something and aptitude install something #do the same thing - we're talking about installing packages here [02:28] arbir, all depends on what u need help with [02:28] I am trying to run my old game called Imperialism.. using WINE.. somehow the audio wont work [02:28] ushimitsudoki: apt-get has autoremove now, which does a better job of aptitude, and doesn't require you to use aptitude for everything. [02:28] abaddon3k: You're booted into a live disk? [02:28] slokunshialgo: yep, runs fine with the live disk [02:28] I have about 41 GB I want to backup on DVD, but Brasero doesn't seem to have a multiple disc option. [02:28] aptitude and apt-get are just front ends to dpkg anyway, so in theory -- whatever you can do with both, you can do with dpkg if you so wish. [02:28] abaddon3k: I'm gonna PM you some steps to try [02:28] arbir: Try #winehq, they're better at diagnosing/fixing wine things [02:28] Flannel: Listen. Do it. Install a -desktop packaged with apt-get and then apt-remove it. Look at all the packages it will remove. [02:28] i play my arcade dos games using dos box, and audio is perfect.. but this is a win95 game [02:29] Hi all, trying once more. I installed Ubuntu 8.04 into a partition next to Vista. Everything worked fine, rebooting under Ubuntu was okay. Started PC in Vista, all worked fine. Then, when I tried to reboot, it kept resetting. Turns out, Vista wiped the contents of the boot partition. ANyone seen this issue? [02:29] liveguy81: create span archives. [02:29] Flannel: you hit the nail on the head.. let me try that channel :-) [02:29] Wow. New term. [02:29] Should I ask or just google it? [02:29] ushimitsudoki: You're not listening. You need to use autoremove to remove them, and it *does* work. Better than aptitude, and again, aptitude's ability to do that breaks if you use something else (like synaptic, etc) to install things like that. [02:29] hi. i'm having some trouble with postfix. i followed two seperate guides and i cannot seem to send any mail out. when i telnet it says its queued and when i flush it nothing goes [02:30] arbir, hmm im not really sure. [02:30] do i have to open smtp port to send mail out from postfix? [02:30] HaSH: dont worry. i will try in that #winehq channel [02:30] g0ldb3rg, no, only to receive mail [02:30] icic [02:31] i'm trying to figure out what i am doing wrong. i am trying to set up squirrel mail [02:31] SaintYossarian: where u installed grub ? [02:31] arbir, ok good luck! [02:31] thanks @ HaSH [02:31] is there an irc channel somewhere for squirrelmail? [02:32] g0ldb3rg: #squirrelmail [02:32] Tulimaq>> I'm sorry, I'm uber new at this ubuntu magick. I had three partitions, boot, swap & root. the contents of boot were gone. [02:33] unop Got a sec for a PM? [02:33] Jack_Sparrow, sure [02:33] SaintYossarian: how many partitions u have on hard drive ? [02:34] Fyre: can you direct me to somewhere that explains "Span archives"? I've been searching, but so far I haven't found squat. [02:34] Tulimaq: All together, 4. Vista, and three for Ubuntu [02:34] so can anyone help me get a phillips webcam working [02:34] Flannel: The point I am trying to make is if you apt-get install a -desktop package, then apt-get remove is borked. Is this correct or incorrect? [02:34] liveguy81: try this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-215608.html [02:34] I just finished installing 8.04 64bit on my new thinkpad t400. Got most of the devices working, but right now, when I try to boot up it tells me Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode. When I try to use the configuration utility it can't still can't detect my graphics card (Mobility Radeon HD 3400). Any suggestions? [02:35] Thank you. [02:35] ushimitsudoki: that's incorrect. [02:35] does hardy heron server come with a firewall by default? [02:35] !firewall | g0ldb3rg [02:35] g0ldb3rg: all linux distributions come with a firewall by default. [02:35] Mmm, still no bot. [02:35] bots gone to sleep I think. [02:35] !firewall | g0ldb3rg [02:35] Flannel: so apt-get remove kde-desktop will work just fine? That is not my experience with kde-desktop or ubuntustudio-desktop. When or what changed? [02:35] !botsnack [02:36] ic [02:36] SaintYossarian: maybe u never mounted boot partition with installer ? or how did u find out that /boot is empy ? [02:36] ushimitsudoki: I've mentioned it a few times. You use autoremove. [02:36] do i need to set rules for outgoing ports if i want smtp to work? [02:36] ushimitsudoki: maybe you need to not be logged into the desktop environment that you are trying to remove [02:36] Legion: I had a similar problem last night, are you using the newest ATI driver? [02:36] Flannel: So, "apt-get remove" doesn't work? That is what I am saying [02:36] ushimitsudoki: It accomplishes a different task. [02:36] ushimitsudoki: It's not *supposed* to remove all the depends. [02:37] SaintYossarian: Yes. I've spent the better part of today trying to install drivers to see if I can get it working. [02:37] hi [02:37] !puregnome [02:37] ushimitsudoki: it works just fine. It just doesn't do what *you* think it ought to do. [02:37] !hi | thiemster [02:37] !hi [02:37] !hi | thiemster [02:38] what does !hi do? [02:38] Goldberg: no - you do not need any special rules [02:38] Tulimaq: I used repair utility to reload grub, and I know for sure that I mounted boot partition with installer, as the first time it wiped, I reinstalled ubuntu completely and the same error happened, and it boots great numerous times until I try to boot after having booted under Vista once [02:39] PLEASE HELP - EMERGENCY...i used "envyng-gtk" to configure my Nvidia card in my laptop, things were working GREAT for days and days, then I just rebooted after getting some "critical updates" and now my monitor is in 640x480 mode AND WON'T GO BACK TO 1440X900. please help me fix this, i'm only 3-days into Linux and I don't know what to do!!!! [02:39] tjay: If you use envy, you have to use envy every time you get a new kernel. [02:39] Flannel: I think most people expect "apt-get remove" to remove what "apt-get install" installed. And if they try that with the -desktop packages the result will be unexpected. I do not think most people will try "apt-get autoremove" in this case. That is my point, and I think it stands [02:39] tjay, rerun the envyng tool [02:39] tjay: It's likely the critical updates included a new kernel, so you'll have to use envy again [02:39] Legion: The advice given me to was to use Envy to get the latest, it worked like a charm, but as my card is too new, I switched to a 34bit vers of Ubuntu BUT envy DID work. [02:40] I've found a page on help.ubuntu.com that desperately needs editing, and I'm happy to do the work, but there doesn't seem to be a discussion forum and I don't want to dive in and chop the article to pieces unannounced. Any ideas on where I go to talk about it first? [02:40] I'm having trouble understanding this whole gvfs bug to be honest. Why is it happening so unpredictably to some and not others? [02:40] has anyone here had success with Nvidia soundstorm with Ubuntu? [02:40] Flannel: I did re-run it, I WAS at 800x600, but after the re-run, i'm at 640x480 . . . i'm affraid if i do it again, it'll only get worse! [02:41] ushimitsudoki: remove won't remove everything that's installed anyway, because it'll leave configuation files, etc. There is no benefit to using aptitude anymore, and what benefit it historically had wasn't valid if you wanted to use other (synaptic) tools anyway. [02:41] Im building a new system and I am wondering what version of ubuntu linux to install on a intel core 2 quad processor machine? [02:41] 64 bit or 32 bit [02:41] SaintYossarian: ok, but when u boot the pc do u get grub boot menu .. or its just vista ? [02:41] morning folks [02:41] pirofwil: I doubt it really matters, just preference. [02:41] SaintYossarian: Switching to the 32bit version solved your problems? [02:41] Flannel: I appreciate that, but it has no bearing on the point I am trying to make. Thank you for your input, I am done with this topic. [02:41] pirofwil 32 [02:41] Oh, which architecture to use... [02:41] pirofwil: I'm using 64-bit [02:42] now some things dont work for 64 bit version correct? [02:42] Has a few package incompatibilities, but (other than my Java in Firefox dying) nothing worth noting [02:42] tjay: you won't make it worse than 640x480 [02:42] Question: Why does the command "sudo apt-get update" result in the security mirrors in the APT list being ignored? [02:42] like less packages available [02:42] ushimitsudoki: Again, your point was invalid and misleading to people who just want their stuff to work. [02:42] Legion: It solved a secondary problem. installing envy allowed me to get the newest driver [02:42] Flannel / NickRead: Can you help me get back to my 1440x900 setup? [02:42] tjay: Why are you using envy instead of the restricted-drivers-manager? [02:42] DaemonLee: It shouldn't. Do you get an error with the message about them being ignored? [02:42] I have a fiddly little issue with with synaptic under Intrepid Ibex. No matter which repository I set, Synaptic isn't showing all pacakges. Two examples are Nethack and Compizconfig-settings manager. I can see them in aptitude and the add/remove applications program, but not under synaptic. It's driving me nuts. Any ideas? [02:43] blur2040: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid support, thanks [02:43] pirofwil We like to direct newer users to 32 to minimize the learning curve [02:43] Apologies. [02:43] Flannel, no. It's just something I notice when I do it in Yakuake/Terminal and type "sudo apt-get update" [02:43] cant someone help with postfix? i cant send mail out [02:43] DaemonLee: can you pastebin the output you get from that command? [02:43] Tulimaq: No, I get a message that says 'grub 1.5 starting' and then my computer reboots. repeat infinitely. [02:43] pirofwil: Do you have 4G or more of RAM? That is probably the main consideration for needing 64-bit I would say [02:43] Flannel, give me two minutes. [02:43] I don't even know what that is . . . I read about EnvyNG-GTK in a magazine, thought that i'd be cool to try, so I put Linux in...was happy with it, did the envy thing and was happy too. what is the restricted thing? Does that mean linux doesn't let you use envy??? [02:44] no i do not [02:44] ushimitsudoki, 32bit linux can use 4gb of ram aswell [02:44] tjay, envyng should be the 'last method' you try to get your drivers going. Ubuntu has a 'hardware-manager' tool that is supposed to handle the task. [02:44] If I want to make major edits to a page on help.ubuntu.com, can I just do it? Or is it more polite to talk it over with someone. And if the latter: who? [02:44] smmagic: yeah if you want to use PAE which is not great [02:45] smmagic: only thorugh PAE with is ugly [02:45] tjay, envy however does use some newer drivers.. which are needed for some video cards. [02:45] etfb: talk with the doc team [02:45] kitche: Where are they? [02:45] smmagic: i did say it was a main consideration. Jesus, what is with this channel today? [02:45] SaintYossarian: hm interesting.. and no grub errors ? [02:45] Flannel, cannot use pastebin. Too many URLs with Terminal reading out the URLs. [02:45] If i use 32 bit version of ubuntu will the OS be able to use all processors when using applications? [02:45] tjay: Envy is an alternative method for installing the NVidia and ATI drivers. If you're using Gutsy or higher, then you can use the Nvidia drivers that come with the distro. Are you NVidia or ATI? [02:45] hi! I've updated a file in a directory, which I want to update in a tar-archive. After the modification of the file, I used: tar -df testarchive.tar, and it listed modified files. Then I used: tar -uvf testarchive.tar testdir/, and: tar -df testarchive.tar, the last command here shows the modified file again :( so I don't think it has been updated in the archive [02:45] anyone here familiar with OSS ESD ALSA? [02:45] whats the tiny program that echos the inputs the x sees [02:46] i have a specific problem with sound [02:46] DaemonLee: sudo apt-get update > ~/Desktop/output.txt [02:46] dr_willis: will that fix the problem? where is the "hardware-manager"? Use it / don't use it . . . i'm confused . . . My WinXP diehard buddy warned me of this . . . how do I get back to 1440x900 . . . PLEASE! [02:46] pirofwil: yes. [02:46] pirofwil: In that case (not having more that 4G of RAM) I would say just use 32-bit (I have some 32-bit and 1 64-bit install of Ubuntu, BTW [02:46] and i have a wonderful link that i followed....and BAM...nothing! [02:46] Tulimaq: Does not mention any errors at all. Simply restarts everything afer the aforementioned point [02:46] i could simply have overlooked something and need a little coaching [02:46] etfb: well I believe their channel is #ubuntu-docs or something along those lines [02:47] kitche: Ah! Thanks. [02:47] Flannel, want me to email this to you? [02:47] DaemonLee: no, pastebin it [02:47] tjay, this is when it would of paid to read a little and check beforhand as to the 'reccomended' way to do things.. you basically need to reinstall the nvidia drivers.. and most likely rerunning that envy tool will do so.. if not. look in the menus for that hardware-manager tool and try it. [02:47] tjay: What is your graphics card? [02:47] DaemonLee: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [02:47] I saw a topic on here about 1440 X 900 resolution is that an issue to obtain in ubuntu? [02:47] i cant see my tracker applet [02:47] pirofwil: no - that res is fine [02:47] pirofwil: Shouldn't be, I'm running 2 monitors, one at 1680x1050 [02:47] Question: Just installed Ubuntu 8.04.1 desktop on my Dell Inspiron 1100.. (only PC I have that I can get it to install and boot from) and the only way I can get it to boot up is to hit the Esc key during GRUB booting and boot from the recovery mode... [02:47] SaintYossarian: Nvidia [02:47] any idea why it boots to a black screen if left to it's own devices? [02:47] pirofwil, not really. With my laptops/wide screen machines. I have to have the nvidia drivers installed befor i get the proper res however. [02:47] pirofwil: actually, that is my laptops resolution no problems there that i have seen [02:48] !info pastebinit [02:48] tjay: What kind? [02:48] Flannel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/49136/ [02:48] pirofwil, and if using DVI connection it makes it even easier. [02:48] Flannel: so I take it that the bot is still dead ...... [02:48] ok thanks [02:48] !alsa [02:48] SaintYossarian: Nvidia, I don't much beyond that . . . how do I find out? [02:48] kitche: Found it! #ubuntu-doc. Thanks. I'm outta here! [02:49] SaintYossarian: Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT [02:49] DaemonLee: The Igns are worrying you? [02:49] whats the tiny program that echos the inputs the x sees? [02:49] Flannel, they are a little. I notice some of them goto Sources/Translation and others... [02:49] Should I not be worried? [02:49] tjay: 32 bit or 64? Or do you know? [02:50] case^ xev ? [02:50] tjay: At this point, I think your best bet is to use Envy. [02:50] tjay: Do you know how to get it? [02:50] SaintYossarian: My computer? I don't know, but it's a Sony Vaio Laptop that came with vista home. [02:50] SaintYossarian: he has Envy installed already [02:50] amenado: you little beauty :) [02:51] DaemonLee: no, you shouldn't be worried. You'll get big error messages (that will be obvious errors) if somethigns wrong [02:51] tjay: Okay, I think I missed something, did you use Envy or did you click the icon that told you there were restricted drivers available? [02:51] Ok. I was just worried, because I haven't gotten updates in like the last six-to-eight days. [02:52] Saint: use envy. download the deb [02:52] it automatically installs latest drivers [02:52] for ati and nvidia [02:52] SaintYossarian: I used Envy, and after you recomended it, I did find the Hardware Manager....it was blank and nothing was listed for "restricted drivers" [02:52] Anyone here familiar with running userspace entirely in ram from initramfs? [02:52] SaintYossarian: I am using Envy again to uninstall the Nvidia driver . . . [02:52] i had many problems with compiz and nvidia-glx drivers until i installed envy. fixed everything [02:53] Flannel, can you help me with another problem? [02:53] tjay: If you had one preinstalled before (a driver) you defo need to uninstall it before using envy [02:53] DaemonLee: Feel free to ask (the channel), we have no idea if I can answer it. [02:54] Does anyone know if I need to use MySQL for postfix to work? [02:54] amenado: just so you know - :-D [02:54] thank you [02:54] Question: I have a massive problem, that if I attempt to use a WiFi point, I kernel panic. Or if I walk away from a WAP and am using it and lose signal on that particular wap, I Kernel Panic. Help? [02:54] side buttons on a mx518 are 8 and 9 [02:54] SaintYossarian: Y'know, I never even looked, I thought it was like Windows, where I HAD to install the special Nvidia drivers, and what I read said just that . . . that it installs the Linux Nvidia driver . . . so I just did that. [02:54] I luv xev [02:55] My helper booked on me. I installed Ubuntu 8.04 alongside Vista, everything was working fine for multiple reboots from Ubuntu. After booting Vista (Vista boot worked fine also) I tried to reboot. Hit the 'grub 1.5 starting' message (lasts for .5 seconds) then computer reboots and repeats infinitely. Vista wiped my /boot partition. Anyone seen the issue before? [02:55] SaintYossarian: Everything worked GREAT for the last few days, I just rebooted after getting updates and this happens. [02:55] SainYossarian: I even had FLOPPY windows, the COOLEST thing EVER! [02:56] tjay: I made the -exact- same mistake last night. >.> Installed ubuntu last night for the first time. Floppy windows = happy Yossi [02:56] Question: Just installed Ubuntu 8.04.1 desktop on my Dell Inspiron 1100.. (only PC I have that I can get it to install and boot from) and the only way I can get it to boot up is to hit the Esc key during GRUB booting and boot from the recovery mode... [02:56] any idea why it boots to a black screen if left to it's own devices? [02:56] tjay i still have the (12?) win 3.1 floppies .. [02:57] verbatim of course :P [02:57] Thwapp: You can edit the kernel boot parameters from grub and remove "quiet" and "splash" to watch the boot process. This is a non-permanent change and would be the first thing I would try to see if I could identify the stopping point [02:57] with enough memory is a person better off disabling swap or putting their swap into memory? [02:58] isn't disabling swap the same as putting it into memory? [02:58] ushimitsudoki: being totally new to Ubuntu and not having used linux since slackware wayyyy back when.. how do I do that again? Sorry... [02:58] arg [02:58] when i first joined this channel i was practically run out of the channel for even mentioning that i was using Envy, and now its recommended, even tho i have had no reason to use it since, and getting rid of it was like fighting malware on a windoze box,,, why is it so different now,,, i have had no problem getting ati and nvidia cards to work very well without it, and will never use Envy again === charlie is now known as Guest97729 [02:59] ThePub, keeping swap doesn't hurt - the kernel will only use it extensively under heavy load [02:59] Thwapp: it didn't configure x correctly on install.. [02:59] ThePub, plus, you need it if you use suspend/hibernate, etc [02:59] SeaPhor: it's mostly used by people that have newer cards that ubuntu doesn't have a prebuilt thing for really [02:59] tripitakit: AWESOME, are you keeping them for historical value? [02:59] !resolution | Thwapp [02:59] Thwapp: You can press "ESC" to get the different boot selections. From there it is "e" (i think -from memory) to edit the options for the particular selection you want. Just remove "quiet" and "splash" there. (They will not be removed permanently, only on that one boot) [02:59] Anyone VERY familure with the opensource ati driver?? I have a older radeon 9100 ixp. It has support via the ati driver as listed here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [03:00] ubottu is on vacation, Scunizi [03:00] SeaPhor: Envy still is bad. EnvyNG is a rewrite, and it does stuff better (and its in universe). But its still not the recommended way. [03:00] Flannel, how can I get my pc to list all of my hardware (like lspci)? [03:00] DaemonLee: lspci and lsusb [03:00] having followed that page , I still have no direct rendering. So how do I figure out jsut why?? [03:00] physically_fit: I hope "it" enjoys it.. I miss it already :) [03:00] Flannel, thanks. I'm probably just going to put my problem on the Forums. [03:00] SainYossarian: Okay, Envy is done. I have to reboot . . . should I THEORETICALLY go back to 1440x900 after Linux takes over??? [03:00] i miss him too :( Scunizi [03:00] DaemonLee: also lshw [03:01] DaemonLee: lshw [03:01] hello, my dog says hello too [03:01] ushimitsudoki: thanks.. I'll try that... [03:01] CartoonCat: radeon cards are hard to figure out the direct rendering really you just have to go though that guide along with your xorg.conf with a tooth and a comb really to figure out [03:01] Yelpster: woof [03:01] tjay: Yes. In theory, that will make your compy have floppy windows of win again [03:01] kitche, I have many times =\ [03:01] SaintYossarian: Okay, we'll see . . . be back in a pinch . . . *hope, hope* [03:02] so frustrating. nVidia is simple in comparison, how ever newer ATi seams easy enough, its just this damn old fileserver that i want to use in my living room that is being a pita [03:03] * Slokunshialgo wishes his house was large enough to warrant a fileserver [03:03] Installed Ubuntu 8.04 last night in partition alongside Vista. Upon booting in Vista, reboots don't work anymore. Vista deletes the contents of the /boot partition. ANyone see this before? [03:03] CartoonCat: Can't be as bad as me still not having sound. [03:03] I am trying to build a custom livecd and I am at the stage of installing apps in it, I would like to upgrade OOffice 2.4 to OOffice 3.0RC2 [03:03] CartoonCat: well considering that the new radeon cards use radeonhd probably will be easier once the guy finishes the driver fully since he broke his hand I guess and now it's all better [03:03] For some reason, recently, when I press the volume control buttons on my keyboard, the volume window pops up, but the sound doesn't change at all, no matter what volume I set it to. Going to the sound properties and changing the volume levels there still works, but this is too inconvenient. Any help? [03:03] should I run the upgrade.sh script or just dpkg -i *.deb for open office 3.0 RC2 into my livecd [03:03] Quadrescence, well i havent got around to making sure i even have sound still. I should have stayed at the old old ass 2.4 install, it at least worked [03:04] CartoonCat: My sound worked, IIRC, with the last version of ubuntu. :} [03:04] :{ ** [03:04] How do I install a .tar file in Ubuntu Hardy please?? [03:05] AllNewToMe: You don't install tar files. [03:05] Kitcha oh ouch, no biggie as all my new hardware is nVidia. Its the old old stuff i need working (and the pages says it does [03:05] AllNewToMe: it kind of depends on whats in the tar file [03:05] AllNewToMe: Think of them like zip files. [03:05] Sorry, its a .tgz file [03:06] "tar zxf filename" to extract it [03:06] a rose by any other name smells just as sweet [03:06] <`Matir> What happens if you remove the lost+found directory from the root of a filesystem? [03:07] `Matir, nothing [03:07] I upgraded the computer processor from athlon to amd64. how to upgrade a 32bit hardy to a 64bit hardy? [03:07] `Matir: I guess it depends on what lost+found is for? [03:07] pzn, fresh install [03:07] pzn, backup data, reinstall [03:07] tjay: did it work? [03:07] tjay: Are your windows floppy again? [03:08] my windows are limp [03:08] arvind_khadri, CartoonCat: so, there is no way to do a simple upgrade? [03:08] pzn, no [03:08] evening all. I got a strange error and kernel panic right after grub when I tried to reboot last night. Tried it a second time and had no issues: The error was "/init: .: 24: Can't open /conf/arch.conf" and the kernel panic said "not syncing: Attempted to kill init" [03:08] anyone: where is the default sys dir fonts? please help me. thank you . [03:09] RB2 one time? i would not worry about it if it rebooted okay the next time [03:09] vassier: /usr/share/fonts [03:09] does anyone know how to install vmware on ubuntu? the thing is i dont know what version of ubuntu i have so i there a command i can use to find out? [03:09] vassler: /usr/share/fonts? You can use "locate" to search, BTW [03:09] I am working on a compiz plugin called "acid" it melts the windows when you minimize [03:09] vassler: try /usr/share/fonts [03:10] The volume keys on my keyboard bring up the volume window, but the actual sound doesn't get any lower or higher. It was working the other day. Can anyone help me fix this? [03:10] austin: lsb_release -a [03:10] Why are all youtube videos coming up as gray squares? [03:11] How do I install a .tgz file in Ubuntu Hardy please?? [03:11] amenado, I've been having other sporatic issues, like the machine running fine and when I go to open any new app or toolbar menu (or even the terminal), the window opens up blank and freezes. I'm assuming it's all related, but I suppose I'll just have to dig around. [03:11] pyrohotdog: ...did you install flash? [03:11] pyrohotdog, you need to have flash [03:11] AllNewToMe: it depends on what is in the .tgz file [03:11] !flash | pyrohotdog [03:11] AllNewToMe: as NO. 5 would say "need more input" [03:12] RB2 thats very hard to resolv, sporadic issues..you never know when its going to happen again [03:12] lol [03:12] SaintYossarian: NO! Envy is gone, but I'm still stuck at 640x480. Nothing is listed in the Hardware Manager. [03:12] I downloaded a copy of Norman Antivirus but its a .tgz file. [03:12] !test [03:12] AllNewToMe: is it source code or a binary === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:13] the bot is still down [03:13] Ubottu has been unconscious all night :[ [03:13] No 5. is saying "need more input!" again [03:13] tjay: Oh! You used envy to remove the drivers, right? Remove drivers, reinstall w/ envy. window flopping ensues [03:13] I dont know, how do i find out? [03:13] amenado, I think it's related to my codecs and video driver. The only sure way I can reproduce it is if I leave Amarok open over night while the machine is idling. [03:13] AllNewToMe, http://blogs.simplythebest.net/entry.php?w=RadianT&e_id=8 [03:13] AllNewToMe: look at where you downloaded it, it will tell you [03:13] SaintYossarian: Window floppiness will ensue? Okay, here goes nothing . . . [03:14] RB2 good luck, also look into memory usage maybe there is a memory leak [03:14] tjay: wait did you uninstall the drivers? [03:14] snowman: hello [03:14] hi [03:14] amenado, Thanks. There's nothing in any of the logs either, so I think I'm in for a rough ride. [03:14] on the issue of creating my own livecd, has anyone successfully installed Open Office 3.0 RC2 from a chroot? [03:15] can someone tell me do you need special little bit bigger cdr's for the daily hardy release ? [03:15] RB2 you'll do okay [03:15] it keeps saying my cds are too small [03:15] It doesnt say all it says is tar.gz version. [03:15] SaintYossarian: Yes, they were UNINSTALLED via the Envy interface. [03:15] anyone else getting crashes on firefox 3? [03:15] me and my moher both are [03:15] anybody know what the amixer commands are for turning the volume up and down ? [03:15] tjay: okay, and you now have envyng, or you got rid of it? [03:15] kenny: those emails are just trying to get you to by enlargement products, don't believe them! [03:16] yeeees. [03:16] I I have flash installed. [03:16] lol [03:16] my wifi workz \o/ [03:16] pyrohotdog: Are you using 64-bit Ubuntu? [03:16] NOpe. [03:16] congrats LiMaO [03:16] ushimitsudoki: Heyup.. tried your suggestion.. you were bang on in your memory of the options.. everything scrolled by as OK, etc.. then the screen went black and the login chime sounded, however there was no video.. *sigh*.. I could log on, and I heard the startup chime, but that's it... had to boot back into recovery mode to come back... [03:16] SaintYossarian: I guess because everything was cached locally, it was able to RE-INSTALL very quickly. It says I need to reboot again. As a side note, I uninstalled the DRIVERS via envyng-gtk, I did not get rid of the program . . . this is right, yes? [03:16] just to let everyone know, broadcom cards suck :) [03:16] pyrohotdog: It sounds as if the flash plugin has crashed. Does restarting Firefox fix it? [03:17] yelpster, no Nero is saying that the blank cd isnt big enough for the 704mb hardy daily iso [03:17] does any one no how to install a webcam on ubuntu [03:17] snowman: plug it in :) [03:17] tjay: you got it. you're using 32 bit, correct? [03:17] kenny: try a different cd burner [03:17] Xcerca: try "amixer sset Master,0 5%+" and "amixer sset Master,0 5%-" [03:17] ah [03:17] snowman wha kind ? [03:17] kenny: IMGBurn [03:17] SaintYossarian: I don't know for sure, but I *think* so. [03:17] thanks [03:17] Nope. [03:17] kenny: IMGBurn is free and can overburn [03:17] r0b thanks , i' [03:17] i tried brasero [03:17] ll try it out [03:18] Xcerca: np [03:18] have somebody use ATI Express 200m laptop? [03:18] yelpster, thanks i go download it now [03:18] micro [03:18] I have sound but no video, just gray. [03:18] snowman: If it's a laptop integrated webcam, good luck, I've been trying for the last 3-days to get mine working with NO LUCK. If you get help, PM me and let me know the trick! [03:18] Thwapp: In that case, then I would try the recovery mode and then "startx" I would look for errors in output and also in /var/log/xorg.0.log. Because I would just be guessing that there is some problem with the video here - that's what it sounds like to me anyways [03:18] tjay: What's the device ID? [03:18] tjay: okay, now use envy to get the driver [03:18] r0b sweet , thanks amixer sset Master,0 5%+ [03:19] no its a desktop [03:19] snowman: with the camera connected, pastebin the results of "lsusb", or just tell me the USB device ID of the camera [03:19] Pressing the volume up/down keys on my keyboard brings up the little window showing that the volume's changing, but the actual volume stays at the same level. It was working a few days ago. Does anyone know what might have happened? [03:19] snowman micro ? what are you talkin bout [03:19] SaintYossarian: Got it all reinstalled, I'm going to reboot and see if i'm back to floppy-nirvana . . . [03:19] ushimitsudoki: I would concur, I'll muck about and see if I can figure out how to do that.. Last time I played with Linux was slackware 3... Looks like I'm up for a long night.. *sigh* [03:19] webcams aren't very well supported in nix unfortunately, I wish they would make a windows driver install wrapper for it (like ndiswrapper) [03:20] Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to get encyrtion to work with emails, both people have the keys created with the proper password and created the key and xported keys to eachthoer installed them and verifyed them, and still canot decrypt inside Evolution Email, Anyone help me out with this? [03:20] Yelpster: linux has a ton of webcam drivers [03:20] there is some crazy developer that has added something like 100 drivers himself.. [03:20] Yelpster: I maintain a bunch of Ubuntu webcam driver packages. Coverage is pretty good, the problem is the manufacturers not releasing specifications [03:20] I need help installing the KDE desktop. I have the install DVD. I am on dialup and want to install from the DVD, not the internet. [03:20] cowbud: but most of the new laptops come out with a different version of hardware webcam every week [03:21] Yelpster, Boot from CD and follow instructions :) [03:21] cowbud, this guy: http://www.google.com/url?sa=U&start=1&q=http://www.theinquirer.net/en/inquirer/news/2007/04/30/one-man-writes-linux-drivers-for-235-usb-webcams&usg=AFQjCNGmDbovEHg7wY0v9TO-FUAfeBrvJQ [03:21] no one have use of HP COMPAQ B1900 Laptop? [03:21] Can you have firestarter listen on multiple interfaces??? So I dont need to change it each time i go from wireless to wired??? [03:21] Yelpster: That's not a Linux problem though, that's a manufacturer issue. If the details were available support for new cameras would be added to drivers very quickly. [03:22] Alaskan_Dragon: huh? boot from what cd? [03:22] Yelpster, dont you have the CD ISO burned to a cd ready to install ? [03:22] IntuitiveNipple: yes I agree, I didn't say it was *nix problem, I just said its unfortunate [03:22] Michel XHaard works on the gpsca/spca drivers [03:22] does any body no how to get a swf video to work on ubuntu [03:22] Alaskan_Dragon: I think your confusing me with someone elses question [03:23] Yelpster, you said you wanted to install, your os from cd and not internet right cuz your on dial up? [03:23] i have no sound , [03:23] Yelpster: I dunno if I'd call it unfortunate... maybe at some point the user nagging at the manufacturers might give us more support from them :) [03:23] Yelpster, your running the os from the CD, but its not installed correct? [03:23] i need help.can anyone tell me y eveytime i issue the command "apt-get install vlc" its came our "E:cannot install vlc" something like tat [03:23] IntuitiveNipple: we both know that won't happen as long as the vole is subsidizing developer efforts on their OS [03:23] detrix is trying to install not yelpster [03:24] Yelpster: Things are moving that way as Ubuntu gets more popular... there's more vocal users as a result :) [03:24] Yelpster, yeah i might have lol nm. thought it was you asking that. === cads is now known as ebichu [03:25] Alaskan_Dragon: I was asking about installing Open Office 3.0 RC2 into a chroot livecd (making my own custom cd) [03:25] #azureus-support [03:25] does anybody know what a swf file is [03:25] I'm maintaining six DKMS web-cam driver packages, which cover about 500 device IDs I'd guess. [03:25] snowman: a flash video file [03:25] Yelpster, oooh, can you find the files on the cd? i know i had openoffic stuff on my cd but it installed when i did the OS [03:25] I do :-) [03:25] snowman:i think is a flash [03:25] darkbishop, sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-esd mozilla-plugin-vlc [03:25] adobe shockwave file [03:26] ==flash === ubuntu_ is now known as pg [03:26] physically_fit:in full??? [03:26] Yelpster, ooo I dont know anything about remastering [03:26] yep === pg is now known as aftersomehelp [03:26] I wonder if anyone might be able to help with a problem I'm having installing ubuntu as a dual boot thing? [03:26] physically_fit, is that for VLC plugin for mozilla? [03:26] Hmm [03:26] how bout "sudo apt-get envyng-gtk"... same problem accure there. === ebichu is now known as ichigo [03:26] Can someone help me with something in sed. [03:27] hey guys [03:27] Yelpster: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [03:27] got a question about panels [03:27] Alaskan_Dragon, the whole vlc package [03:27] is there a way to get a terminal prompt in a panel? [03:27] sweet , i finally got my remote working [03:27] basically i have a folder with ~100 python scripts, i need to go through each one and check if the first line is #! /usr/bin/python, if it is not then add that line === r0bbyarrr is now known as r0bby [03:27] i was thinking i could use sed to do this? but i dont know how [03:27] gbear14275 yea [03:27] I ran the Live CD, and used the partitioner to create an Ubuntu partition, but it can't seem to boot up with it? [03:27] basically a terminal prompt in a panel... no output lines [03:28] IntuitiveNipple: thanks but I am already done, my issue is specificly about openoffice 3.0 rc2 and how to install it over the 2.4 version that comes on the ubuntu daily-live [03:28] xcerca, can you point me in the right direction [03:28] [23:16:45] congrats LiMaO --> what was that for? [03:28] jscinoz: if you know python, then it's probably easier to write a quick python script that does this :) [03:28] Yelpster: "over" ? wouldn't you replace it? [03:28] can vlc play swf files? [03:28] would be greatly appreciated [03:28] right click on panel , add to panel , chose terminal input [03:28] snowman: try gnash, it's available via Synaptic PAckage Manager [03:29] Ok, i really need help. [03:29] I think I may need to make sure the GRUB loader is working ok? [03:29] IntuitiveNipple: Thats just it, I don't know, there are 2 ways to install it, through the upgrad.sh script, and then dpkg -i *.deb [03:29] but I"m not sure how :-) [03:29] Nicke, hmm i will try one sec [03:29] xcerca.... thats not an option thats listed... [03:29] IntuitiveNipple: and I am not sure. One will probably destroy my cd image [03:29] Can some one help me out? [03:29] jscinoz: something like sed -e '1, 's/^\([^#].*\)$/# \1/' [03:29] !ask | ceo4eva [03:29] ceo4eva: 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. :-) [03:29] ceo4eva: ask your question [03:30] thanks IntuitiveNipple [03:30] is there an easy way to see if the GRUB loader is working? (I've installed Ubuntu on a new partition, but only XP starts up..) [03:30] I just got ubuntu today, and i want to know how to install my RTL8185 Wireless adapter on it [03:30] gbear14275 hold on [03:30] SaintYossarian: I'm back with NO CHANGE. In fact, THIS TIME, while rebooting it said "Your Screen and Graphics card could not be detected" so linux is running in "Low Graphics Mode". [03:30] Xcerca... thanks! [03:30] How you add Firefox to the Panel? [03:30] my girl friend always asks me "can I ask you something?" to which I reply "you have already violated the asking principal by asking if you could ask, so therefore I can't answer your first question since it's answer was used up with this response" [03:30] aftersomehelp: grubs not working [03:31] gbear14275 you're using gnome right ? [03:31] yes [03:31] although i am interested in trying out kde [03:31] cool [03:31] if grub is installed right you should not get to windows without selecting it [03:31] ceo4eva: I have that exact same device. ndisgtk will work using the latest XP drivers. [03:31] so if the answer involves switching... might provide me some incentive [03:31] ryan_: right click the panel and choose "add to this panel", then choose "application launcher", scroll down to Internet and choose "firefox". It'll show up. [03:31] dashnu - well when I restarted having installed Ubuntu, it simply loads XP - but shows the smaller partition size.. [03:31] jscinoz: I suspect it would be better with sed -e '1,1 ...' to limit the range to the first line :) [03:32] tjay: Sorry, was re-booting [03:32] boberdos, i have no idea what ndisgtk is. [03:32] ryan_: right click the panel and choose "add to this panel", then choose "application launcher", scroll down to Internet and choose "firefox". It'll show up. [03:32] SaintYossarian: I'm back with NO CHANGE. In fact, THIS TIME, while rebooting it said "Your Screen and Graphics card could not be detected" so linux is running in "Low Graphics Mode". [03:32] ah i see, thanks IntuitiveNipple [03:32] aftersomehelp: how many disks you have? what disk did you install it on? [03:32] tjay: Okay, go back to envy and choose manual detetection [03:32] ndisgtk is a tiny app that uses GTK window manager to allow you to install wireless drivers via the gui [03:32] I've got three hard drives in..... [03:32] tjay: I'm sorry, I wish I was brilliantly helpful. ;.; [03:33] I always use the alt install disc, not the live disc... but I think if you boot from the live disc it will offer a way to fix grub [03:33] gbear14275 well , in add to panel choose Run Application... [03:33] SaidYossarian: I'm sorry too . . . LOL, j/k [03:33] So Yelpster, how do i get to ndisgtk? [03:33] joe - thus far it simply offers to re-install Ubuntu.... [03:33] tjay, what video card do you have [03:33] jscinoz: Actually... hold on, let me test a real example, I'm confusing myself as much as you, that example was totally wrong! [03:33] ceo4eva: sudo apt-get install ndisgtk [03:33] ceo4eva: if you are using ubuntu just use synaptic and type in ndisgtk [03:33] CartoonCat: Nvidia Geforce 6800M GT [03:33] aftersomehelp: joe is right i think boot back into ubuntu install grub on your mbr first disk [03:33] nged my resolution and i can't change it back it is scrambled bad i'm in recovery mode now [03:33] CartoonCat: Sony Vaio Laptop [03:33] aftersomehelp, sounds like you did not install grub to the main hd boot sector [03:34] tjay: awesome! Now how would you make it so firefox launches to lets say yahoo.com when clicked. [03:34] cartooncat - sounds right! [03:34] then the os didn't install, either not complete or corrupt [03:34] ryan_: in firefox edit preferences and change your homepage [03:34] Xcerca.... only puts a quicklink, or icon in there... [03:34] ryan_: Set your homepage to "Yahoo.com" and when clicked the first thing it'll go to is it's "Home" page. [03:34] is it possible to get new packages into an LTS release between dotreleases? [03:34] tjay: ready to write this down? [03:34] p'raps I need some partition advice then - 'cos I can simply re-do it then.... [03:34] SaintYossarian: Yes, one sec. [03:34] schroedingers cat [03:34] aftersomehelp: boot the live disk up [03:35] I'm in ubuntu now :-) [03:35] (so yup - have done so.....) [03:35] mount drive chroot into the install [03:35] install grub [03:35] ryan_: Custom Application Launcher, put Firefox as the name, and "firefox yahoo.com" (without the quotes) as the command. [03:35] you could try super grub loader (google it) and boot from it to see what is installed? [03:35] aftersomehelp, first sit down and figure out where you did install it, then see about just using the windows bootlaoder to launch it [03:35] aftersomehelp: or you have to reinstall.. [03:35] ceo4eva: Once you've installed ndisgtk via synaptic, go get the latest Windows XP drivers from the realtek website. [03:35] I'll try super grub thing in amo.... [03:35] !keyring [03:35] Factoid keyring not found [03:36] can someone help me fix my resolution i changed to a bad one and i don't know how to change it back i'm in recovery mode now [03:36] gbear14275 yea , i've seen it there though , you might have to add a new package , then when you choose add to panel it migth be listed [03:36] dash - is it straight forward to follow your advice (the mount drive thing?) [03:36] can you install grub onto the partition you are chrooted into? [03:36] is someone got a glitch trying to install Ubuntu over a 2nd drive that it's not the main drive? [03:36] tj1515: edit xorg.conf [03:36] !ubuntu-keyring [03:36] hello [03:36] Factoid ubuntu-keyring not found [03:36] might be easier to install grub from a livecd [03:36] bobertdos, what if i have the cd with me? [03:36] Jonas1 aftersomehelp, sound like it just chose not to isntall grub [03:36] !Ubuntu-keyring [03:36] so now I've got a bit of a partition mess :-) [03:36] hey guys, installed 64bit ubuntu today (8.04) and now I can't seem to checkout a repository with kdesvn or rapidsvn anymore, I get PROPFIND of '/': 403 Forbidden, anyone know why? I dont even get a login prompt [03:36] I figured that might be the case... any idea which package I might need? [03:37] dashnu: i tried that but i see nothing about the resolution [03:37] hmm [03:37] \n is a newline when used as part of a string in bash? [03:37] ceo4eva: Do you have internet access? Synaptic uses online repos to download and install packages like ndisgtk [03:37] tj1515: /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [03:37] maybe not a partition mess, just a grub thing [03:37] CartoonCat - and it's because of this that i have only a shell and not the x-windows environement? [03:37] Yes, i connected with my wired connection [03:37] alguem me ajuda [03:37] dashnu: yep [03:37] no resolutions [03:38] well I'll go try and fix GRUB... and pop back in a bit :-) [03:38] Thanks so much for the Tip! That worked awesome! [03:38] thanks for all your help. [03:38] would it be considered cruel and unusual to shave a hamster bald? [03:38] Yelpster, Use Nair [03:38] tj1515: yea i guess your right... I have no idea where they stick it off the top of my head in this distro [03:38] nair burns [03:39] on another note.... noticed my system manager was only recognizing 3 gig's of my 4 gig's installed... is this a quick fix or do I have to reinstall 64 bit ubuntu or something similar? could PAE extensions fix this? [03:39] tj1515: ill try to find it [03:39] yes tj uses nair on the legs [03:39] !offtopic [03:39] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [03:39] tj1515, not if you use a slight solution [03:39] dashnu: thanks i am using ibex [03:39] <--- waiting for support [03:39] hey all, does anyone know why my wireless settings do not save when i reboot my fresh 8.04 install? Everytime I reboot, I have to retype in my wep key in order for it to connect to my network [03:39] yelpster: wife did said it burns ;) [03:39] Yelpster, whats the prob? [03:40] Does Ubuntu supports Blu-ray dual layer burners? [03:40] anyone here have trouble installing the beta for Adobe AIR? [03:40] CartoonCat: I need to know how to install openoffice 3.0 rc2 into a livecd I am customizing [03:40] 'cos the installer keeps crapping out for me [03:40] TuxOtaku: nope [03:40] saying I need administrator access [03:40] when I'm running the .bin as root [03:40] works here, try running it under root [03:40] oh [03:40] :) [03:40] run it under a regular user, thats what i did and it prompted me for root pass [03:41] Yelpster, ahh, i dunno, is it any diffrent then installing any other package?? [03:41] tried that. [03:41] nothing [03:41] I've removed .adobe/ from my homedir [03:41] and have removed the old installation of AIR [03:41] ;/ no idea i just installed it on my new 8.04 install a few minutes ago [03:41] elektronisch: Right-click the networking icon in the top-right of the main menu bar and open Edit Wireless Networks. Is it there? [03:41] Once i'm in Synaptic and i have marked stuff for installation. How do i actually install them now> [03:41] ?* [03:41] Does Ubuntu supports Blu-ray dual layer burners? [03:41] CartoonCat: well it's different in that its not a complete environment, its the live-cd environment, I am afraid of destroying openoffice 2.4 by running the upgrade script from ooffice 3.0 on it [03:42] ceo4eva: click apply [03:42] ceo4eva: click apply at the top [03:42] the apply button in synaptic [03:42] Cream - The only way to support Blu-Ray will need to have some DHCP drivers. [03:42] Yelpster http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/2006/09/customizing_ubuntu_live_cd_606_1.html === Red-Sox_ is now known as Red-Sox [03:42] I am just trying to see if anyone has done any customizing of the squash-fs image? [03:42] anyone else been having this problem with AIR? [03:43] Hello, when I am trying to stream mov in Firefox I get a black window that says "no video". Please help I need to watch videos for an online course I have a test in tomorrow [03:43] Thanks [03:43] oh, that could be possible and i dunno except to test it [03:43] Cream - Have you take a look at PowerCinema? [03:43] * Cream takes a look [03:43] Hi: WHere can I suggest something to be added to Ubuntu server? [03:43] hey all, does anyone know why my wireless settings do not save when i reboot my fresh 8.04 install? Everytime I reboot, I have to retype in my wep key in order for it to connect to my network [03:44] Yelpster, ive done it per that link [03:44] sorry wrong button === Cream is now known as lulz [03:44] bobertdos: yes its there but wont let me type in the bssid [03:44] please can someone help me with my issue? am I missing an app or something? the svn server works fine on all other systems but not my new 64bit install of ubuntu 8.04 [03:44] jscinoz: Look at this example (it processes all .txt files in a directory) http://paste.ubuntu.com/49145/ [03:45] thanks IntuitiveNipple i think i got it to work [03:45] Ok, now that I have installed ndisgtk (or atleast i think i have) how does that help me install my RTL 8185 wireless network adapter? [03:46] jscinoz: ok... for that example, if you use it, add "-i" to sed's options so it replaces the existing file rather than writing to stdout (that's a safety feature until the script is tested) [03:46] does anyone know where to find the BEST linix apps and html/java code hlp to use for best web design?? pls hlp any1? [03:46] ah ok thanks IntuitiveNipple [03:46] plz help, desperate. short: getting grub msg "error 18" long: this is a fileserver with lots of stuff on it. i've alrdy booted live cd and ran fsck - everything is ok. re-installed grub, doesnt help. system has been running for a long time, and earlier i was copying an iso to the server via samba, and the machine hard-locked and would not boot back up. [03:47] greetings all can someone tell me if the python-xen-3.1 is a minimal python for just running xen or does it have to have python also installed [03:47] Ok, now that I have installed ndisgtk (or atleast i think i have) how does that help me install my RTL 8185 wireless network adapter? [03:48] masmota: Error 18: This error is returned when a read is attempted at a linear block address beyond the end of the BIOS translated area [03:48] note: I currently do not have a ubuntu machine to see dependencies [03:48] what's the mp3 player to use? [03:48] masmota: Have you checked in the BIOS for any disk-mapping or translation options for that disk? [03:49] ceo4eva: Now, you need to download the latest Windows XP drivers from the website. Once you have them extracted, point ndisgtk to the appropriate inf file and the program will do the rest of the work. [03:49] doesnt the rtl8185 have linux drivers?? [03:49] IntuitiveNipple: i havent fiddled with the bios since i set the machine up last year [03:50] is there a terminal command to show how much memory my kernel can see? does free work? [03:50] masmota: So check it... there's nothing to say the nvram/CMOS settings weren't affected when the system failed [03:50] IntuitiveNipple: k, im looking at the bios now, everything seems to be on "auto" [03:50] bobertdos, i have marked ndisgtk. I clicked apply. But everytime i click "Not Installed" i still see it in the list [03:51] gbear14275m top ?? [03:51] does anyone know where to find the BEST linix apps and html/java code hlp to use for best web design?? pls hlp any1? [03:51] And yes it does cartooncat [03:51] IntuitiveNipple: i can try setting to lba ? [03:51] vassler: scite [03:51] masmota: Error 18 indicates that GrUB is being asked to seek to a cylinder number larger than the BIOS can address, so if the MBR and stage 1.5 files are okay, the BIOS is the only other issue [03:51] masmota: Yes, try that! [03:51] cartoon cat... free works... am trying to figure out why ubuntu wont recognize my last gig of RAM [03:51] gbear14275: how much memory? [03:52] i need to know how to make profestional web design [03:52] gbear14275, how much do you have [03:52] gbear14275: 32-bit or 64-bit Ubuntu? [03:52] IntuitiveNipple: k ... will the disk still work even though i installed the OS in normal mode? [03:52] vassler, thats not here, try #html [03:52] vassler: check out w3schools.com [03:52] ceo4eva: Let's just make absolutely certain it installs. In a terminal, type: sudo apt-get install ndisgtk. [03:52] 4 gig's installed [03:52] well scratch that, still error 18 [03:52] vassler: or the irc channels #java #html etc [03:52] masmota: Shouldn't make any difference - Linux does its own disk handling, only GrUB needs the BIOS since there's no kernel at that point [03:53] i see [03:53] gbear14275: It will not recognize a full 4 gigs if you are on 32-bit. [03:53] anything else i can try? [03:53] was reading about pae extensions and such... but wondering what the best "fix" is and right now am trying to determine where the system losses sight of that last gig [03:53] does persistant segfaults suggest I should run memtest - even if the segfaults are with just one app (mostly) [03:53] you need 64 bits for more than 3 gig of memory, right? [03:53] *do [03:53] -you need 64 bits for more than 3 gig of memory, right? [03:53] bobertdos... I've heard and thought that with PAE extensions and such thats not the case anymore [03:53] jion #ubuntu-cn [03:54] joe_: you don't if your CPU and OS have certain support [03:54] jion # [03:54] how well does ubuntu 64 work compared with 32? [03:54] gbear14275: Error: Could not parse XML returned by Ubuntu: not well-formed (invalid token): line 335, column 84 [03:54] masmota: Well, something has changed, obviously. If the BIOS settings are okay then it is back to reinstalling GRUB since something in the MBR, stage 1.5 or stage 3 files has been clobbered... data corruption because of unclean shutdown most likely. [03:54] I even have the CD for the rtl8185 but it's confusing as hell how to install stuff. Anytime i click something another folder comes up. on on on and on again [03:54] cynthia - /join #ubuntu-cn [03:54] gbear14275: 32-bit is the "fewer headaches" method [03:55] I tried to dual boot with xp 64 and there is ZERO support for my computer [03:55] gbear14275: that said, I run 64-bit on this AMD64, and it's very nice [03:55] gbear14275, ive got x64 on this lappy, every works great except some games via wine. boot 32boot and works fine [03:55] !ubottu [03:55] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [03:56] !cedega > CartoonCat [03:56] iFvwm, isnt cedega comercial? [03:56] not sure how linux works that well but are all the 32 bit packages and such available and work in the 64 bit version? [03:56] gbear14275, no not all apps have been ported [03:57] CartoonCat: perhaps. but old version you also can try. [03:57] gbear14275: have you tried the server image? [03:57] any of you happen to be running x64 on a T61? [03:57] gbear14275: The packages that aren't available for 64-bit are proprietary, with the exception of some specific libraries that access hardware in real-mode [03:57] ceo4eva: PM me, I'll help you more closely. [03:57] CartoonCat: or go to idsoft.com to find some excellent games. [03:57] CartoonCat: or getdeb.com [03:57] nickread... was just reading about that.... I've never recompiled my kernel yet... sounds daunting to be honest [03:58] It's in the repos [03:58] mmm, i guess ill look at that, would be nice to have counterstrike on the lappy, then i wont "need" it on the fileserver (living room media box, old ati, no workie 3d) [03:58] Hello everyone [03:58] hello dr Ninesvnsicks [03:58] oops [03:58] hi i just connected my canon digicam via usb and i would like to find the sd card drive. how do i do that? [03:58] I just updated to the new kernel but it didn't add it to the grub menu.lst so i'm not sure hwo to add it just change 16 ot 19? [03:58] fixed it, i had to put it in roaming mode for my wireless to work [03:58] oopsie. [03:59] Ninesvnsicks: sudo update-grub [03:59] it didn't change menu.lst [04:00] gah [04:00] for some reason [04:00] echo $string1 \n $string2 doesnt print the newline [04:00] rather just an n [04:00] i just connected my canon digicam via usb and i would like ubuntu to recognize and to find the sd card drive. how do i do that? [04:00] even when i add -e right after echo [04:00] any ideas? [04:00] jscinoz: echo -e "$string1 \n $string2" [04:00] can I run memtest without the live cd? [04:01] Flannel: it didn't change menu.lst [04:01] can somebody help me please? i have no clue how to do that [04:01] Ninesvnsicks: Alright, pastebin your menu.lst, and the output of: ls -l /boot [04:02] inubuntu how do i safetly remove my usb stick [04:02] IntuitiveNipple, tried that still didnt make a newline [04:02] oooh... another problem I was hoping to find out more about.. [04:02] cris: try "dmesg|tail -n 20" to see errors [04:02] in ubuntu how do i safely remove my usb stick [04:03] tsuna27, right click > unmount [04:03] flannel... have you ever run into lba and chs mismatches when partitioning? and if so how did you resolve them without killing the boot record [04:03] then firmly grasp said stick [04:03] I've killed my install 3 times now.... :( [04:03] chubs: thats not working [04:03] cris: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5779070 [04:03] jscinoz: It does here; what are you doing?

[04:03] tsuna27, what does that's not working mean? is there an error message? [04:04] chubs: i press unmount but nothing happens [04:04] Ninesvnsicks: is that you whole menu.lst? [04:04] crap! anyone? chs an lba mismatches [04:04] are you transferring anything? [04:04] using it in any way? [04:04] gbear14275: LBA ignores CHS [04:04] no but the only thing that isn't commented out [04:04] Ninesvnsicks: Please paste the whole thing [04:04] tsuna27, sudo umount /media/disk (or whatever it may be) [04:04] see what that says [04:05] do [04:05] http://pastebin.com/d4253d9c7 [04:05] chubs: its my sony phone that im transfering files, the phones screen says its still connected [04:05] tsuna27: Do you have a program or window open in a directory on the USB stick? [04:05] what do i need to get this radio station http://citysoundfm.com/liveradio.htm to play its streaming audio ? [04:05] /quit [04:05] clearly [04:05] intuitivenipple: i think [04:05] tsuna27, sometimes devices say that when they're not. as long as they're unmounted it'll be fine. but if there is any program open that you were using to transfer files it may be wise to close that [04:06] tryin it [04:06] intuitiveNipple: I'm running into the issue when using testdisk after partitioning using gparted... would love to get it to not have those mismatches but are you saying the issue is obsolete or...? [04:06] Ninesvnsicks: hmm, alright. That all looks good. Does sudo update-grub give any output at all? [04:06] Hi, just posted something to paste.bin .. can't mount an NFS volume. :( [04:07] talexb_, you need to give the link ;) [04:07] http://paste.ubuntu.com/49151/ [04:07] flannel: http://pastebin.com/d330ce50 [04:07] chubs_ Oops .. thought that would come through automatically .. my bad. [04:07] last time I tried to resolve it I altered my partition heads (not sure on the terminology) from 240 to 255 and lost my whole partition table and such... that was a hard loss [04:07] talexb_, no worries [04:07] gbear14275: I'm not sure what precisely the issue is, but the addressing is either CHS or LBA. Some tools report pseudo-CHS (such as [c]fdisk) but the underlying system uses LBA [04:07] on the recommendation of testdisk >:o [04:08] Ninesvnsicks: interesting. The next line *should* be Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done What are the permissions on menu.lst? [04:08] talexb_, usually an ip address is necessary. for example 192.168.0.1:/pool/scratch [04:08] chubs: thx its fine [04:09] idk [04:09] !offtopic === diego is now known as Guest32942 [04:09] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [04:09] chubs_ But I have this host name in /etc/hosts .. [04:09] tsuna27, no problem, enjoy yourself [04:09] But I'll try with an IP address .. [04:09] so... don't worry about it then? Might call me a perfectionist, but don't like errors coming up :-/.... as an alternative... there a partitioner that will avoid this? [04:09] i have ubuntu installed and now i want to install gentoo on another partition..will gentoo grub will detect ubuntu [04:09] flannel: idk how do i find out? [04:10] Ninesvnsicks: pastebin this: ls -l /boot/grub/ [04:10] chubs_ Nope, IP address didn't solve the problem. [04:10] talexb_, the error is related to the mount itself, so it's probably not actually the ip address. but try anyways i'd say. [04:10] figured as much [04:10] When I'm at the login screen, then press CTRL+ALT+F1 and login with my username at the CLI. Does this login procedure require the home folder of this user to be present? [04:10] hm [04:10] flannel: http://pastebin.com/d1a67b780 [04:11] if I have /etc/myfirewall.sh then how to auto star it [04:11] gbear14275: Without seeing the errors/warnings you're referring to it is impossible to give an opinion [04:12] can anyoen help me... i cant install vlc.... and eveytime i try to install my grafic card they want me to kill my x first.. how do i kill my X?? [04:12] talexb_, the only thing I can think of is a bad exports file on the other system, but usually that'd be a permissions error [04:12] Ninesvnsicks: Very odd indeed. Alright, well, I'm stumped, but yes, to edit it manually just copy the two -16 entries, paste right above them, and then change the -16 to -19 [04:13] Flannel: ok [04:13] Ninesvnsicks: maybe once youre running the newer kernel, you'll be able to successfulyl update your grub [04:13] but it's erroring on the first block it seems [04:13] darkbishop, first ctrl+alt+ F2.. log in .. then .. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop.. install drivers... then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start.. ctrl+alt+F7 to get to the gui if it doesn't take you there automatically [04:14] ok gonan reboot brb [04:14] how can I login with root account? Do I have to activate it? [04:14] /msg ubottu etiquette [04:14] xbxbxb: Use sudo instead. [04:15] chubs_ http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/ubuntu-linux-nfs-client-configuration-to-mount-nfs-share.html [04:15] Flannel: In that specific situation I can't, since I need root before I log in with my user name [04:15] darkbishop, however.. it looks like you're trying to install the drivers from the MF site? Have you tried the restricted drivers manager under System/admin/Hardware driver? [04:15] talexb_, is that the guide you followed? [04:15] The command 'sudo apt-get install portmap nfs-common' adds the missing pieces, and now it works. [04:15] xbxbxb: Why do you need that? [04:16] izinucs:there nothing there in my hardware driver.its empty [04:16] i was wondering if anyone could help me please? i just freshly installed ubuntu but i cant log in with the login information i provided at setup [04:16] darkbishop, what kind of card? [04:16] chubs_ The first link was http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=304402 and it pointed me to the link I just posted. [04:16] Once again, Google rocks. [04:16] abaddon3k: [04:17] Flannel: too complicated to explain. [04:17] abaddon3k:u musthave forgotten ur user name or password [04:17] talexb_, this is a more complete guide. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/nfs-server-and-client-configuration-in-ubuntu.html [04:17] did you add any caps to your username? abaddon3k [04:17] including the editing of the exports file [04:17] izinucs:its nvidia gforce 6000.... i try using the command "sudo apt-get installenvy-gtk" but its not working [04:17] dabbu: nope, didnt forget it. no caps. i've reinstalled multiple times with the same issue [04:17] xbxbxb: Something an init script wouldn't be able to do? [04:17] abaddon3k: caps matter on linux, both in user name and password, if that doesn't work... go into recovery mode and use the 'adduser' command [04:17] and manually add anew user [04:18] Flannel: is running something from an init script equivalent to running it as root? [04:18] it's pretty straight forward abaddon3k [04:18] does amarok have a lirc pluging , does anyone know of a music player that does ? [04:18] xbxbxb, yes. [04:18] xbxbxb: Yeah [04:18] jaseX_: hrm, i haven't tried that yet, i'll give it a shot [04:18] Xcerca, thought it did [04:18] it should work abaddon3k if not, there's something erred with your CD installer probably. [04:18] chubs_ do you control yours with a remote ? [04:18] Flannel: I'll check that out then [04:18] thanks [04:18] that doesn't work, i'll just have to reload the live CD and try asking again [04:19] or try making a new livecd [04:19] Xcerca, I don't, but I remember seeing a script for it [04:19] well, i did check the integrity of the CD with the option, and it said it was fine [04:19] alright , thx [04:19] darkbishop, the 6000 should have triggered the restricted drivers manager.. is this a fresh install? have you done any updates? if not .. sudo apt-get update.. sudo apt-get upgrade.. sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.. and then it might pop up [04:19] Hmm, that's quite strange... [04:19] Xcerca, http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/RemoteControl [04:19] I don't even think i've used the check cd option myself, but that's due to my faith in my burner... :) [04:20] well, after installing ubuntu well over 30 times in the last two days, i figured it couldn't hurt to try [04:20] Thanks chubc_, much appreciated. [04:20] talexb_, no problem. did it work? [04:20] Oops, chubs_ .. [04:20] where is the option to make a program start on login in ubuntu? [04:20] Yeah -- installed those two packages, the mount worked. [04:21] !session | cpierce_ [04:21] glad to hear it [04:21] I can see my drive again. [04:21] cpierce_: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [04:21] enjoy [04:21] I will. Cheers. [04:21] chubs_ there are irexec commands to control amarok , linux is awesome [04:22] does anybody know of good architectural software for linux [04:22] Xcerca, cool. and yes it is :) [04:22] Like a CAD program esac? [04:22] my network manager can not detect AP, but if i using kismet i can. where is the problem? [04:22] JaseX_: CAD seems way too advanced. i used to use Punch! for Windows and I liked that. I don't know where the line between CAD and just floor plan software is [04:23] esac, there are several cad programs. there's blender for modelling but it isn't suited for engineering [04:23] haõ16035 [04:23] chubs_: ya, that sounds too advanced for what i need [04:23] CAD is just computer aided drawing pretty much... [04:23] izinucs:this is not a fresh installation.i use 7.10 before then i dicided to upgread it to 8.04 last nite....before this it was there.but now its not [04:23] esac, hm. CAD programs are usually pretty intuitive, you just want an interior design program basically? [04:23] I have a little bit of experience with it esacs... but not any with punch! [04:23] So... [04:23] =/ [04:23] Sorry mate, cannot help here... [04:24] But qcad or varicad seems promising [04:24] chubs_: ya, i just need to draw walls and doors and toilets and crab :) [04:24] Maybe ubottu has some info? [04:24] !cad [04:24] Factoid cad not found [04:24] JaseX_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:24] Oops. [04:24] Sorry, I didn't mean to spam :( [04:24] Can someone please help me get embedded movs working in ubuntu? I have classwork I have to do [04:24] darkbishop, ok.. then maybe your xorg.conf is still being used.. check it out (with no editing privilidges) using gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:24] esac, http://www.linux.com/feature/141073 [04:25] my network manager can not detect AP, but if i using kismet i can. where is the problem? [04:25] chubs_: oh that looks nice, thanks! [04:25] esac, no problem [04:25] please please? i have been doing this for like 3 hours and I should have been studying! [04:26] my network manager can not detect AP, but if i using kismet i can. where is the problem? please help me! [04:26] jaseX_: you are my hero [04:26] esac: this page may also interest you... http://appdb.winehq.org/appbrowse.php?catId=59 [04:26] darkbishop, once there see what driver is listed if any. [04:26] abaddon3k: You're welcome. [04:26] it said Punch had a silver rating in wine... [04:26] Many moons ago. [04:26] jaseX_: i seriously can't believe it was that easy. i've been trying a whole range of things [04:27] So it may be even better support now. [04:27] abaddon3k: some things can be incredibly simple, when people have had similar problems :D [04:27] JaseX_, or worse [04:27] jaseX_: now what about my root password. i have no idea what that is [04:27] True chubs_ === JaseX_ is now known as Jasex === Jasex is now known as JaseX [04:28] hmm good. [04:28] my network manager can not detect AP, but if i using kismet i can. where is the problem? [04:28] I am trying to get streaming movs to play. anyone please? [04:28] I forgot how to identify and register a nick on freenode so brb so I can refresh my knowledge. [04:28] abaddon3k: hm it would've been the passowrd for the original user [04:28] sp00n: wihich browser [04:28] hi! anyone has any experience on setting mod-survey on ubuntu? [04:29] if not the command from recovery 'gpasswd -a sudo' should work abaddon3k [04:29] I'm not sure on the context or validity, or if that's the right group. [04:29] But that'll make your current password work [04:29] my network manager can not detect AP, but if i using kismet i can. where is the problem? [04:29] joe: any. i have tried in firefox and konqueror. it would be more convenient to get it working in a browser that isn't opera, even though that's my preferred browser because my school's class site doesn't load properly in opera [04:29] abaddon3k: as I think about it... your password you just made should work in sudo. [04:30] and i have to do it from the recovery, or can i do it from the terminal [04:30] But still may have to be added to the sudo group first anyway abaddon3k [04:30] Well you cannot use gpasswd without root access so recovery terminal would be best bet. [04:30] can someone help me with my issue with a usb capture device and ubuntu 8.04 here is the link for more info: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=924504 [04:30] ok [04:30] But hang on. [04:30] my network manager can not detect AP, but if i using kismet i can. where is the problem? i'm using madwifi [04:30] sp00n: I was thinking maybe the Mozilla MPlayer plugin [04:30] izinucs:just driver for my input device and mouse.non for video device. [04:30] Can anyone confirm gpasswd -a user group is the right syntax for me? [04:31] vlc has a plugin for firefox also [04:31] x [04:31] joe_, neither of those work [04:32] Is xmessage alone suitable to display a message on a remote computer in the same LAN, or is a supplementary program needed for this purpose? [04:32] darkbishop, not sure exactly how to proceed from here.. others will have an idea on how to verify what's currently loaded.. Is your resolution ok? [04:32] 23:29 [Undernet] Warning: Port sent with DCC request is a lowport (0, unknown) - this isn't normal. It is possible the address/port is faked (or maybe someone is just trying to bypass firewall) [04:32] 23:29 [Undernet] DCC SEND from aller-chier [0.0.0.0 port 0]: [04:32] Joker_-__: please stop [04:32] can someone tell me why KILLALL dosn't need root passwd before killing a process ? [04:32] joe_, mplayer attempts to load the streaming file in the external player, and pops up an error message "no stream found", which is incorrect because it works on the XP machine. VLC plugin displays a black "no video" window instead of playing. [04:32] sry [04:33] Sp00n: not a perfect fix but can you copy the link for the video and paste it into vlc or mplayer [04:33] abaddon3k: if that's not right the terminal will give you info with... [04:33] izinucs:if you think 600X800 is ok.. then yeah its working fine. [04:33] gpasswd --help [04:33] RogerBacon, killall should only need root if its killing a process root owns [04:33] 600x800, that's one goofy monitor [04:33] my network manager can not detect AP, but if i using kismet i can. where is the problem? [04:34] are dcop commands only for kde ? [04:34] darkbishop, nope.. try .. sudo -s xrandr ... like .. sudo -s xrandr 1280x1024.. or whatever you need [04:34] JaseX: hrm, can i also use that to change the password on the orginal account i made? i;m looking at my users screen and that account still exsists, but i don't know what the pass is set at [04:34] no. [04:34] that'd be just plain passwd [04:34] my network manager can not detect AP, but if i using kismet i can. where is the problem? [04:34] joe_, I can't, because it's a javascripted sendback...I don't have access to the URL. And mplayer tries to open it in the player manually and says "no stream found", which I know is wrong. [04:34] gpasswd is for groups I believe [04:34] ok [04:34] !gpasswd [04:34] Factoid gpasswd not found [04:34] ola [04:34] tem algum brasileiro aki [04:34] Hmm ubot needs some new factoids [04:34] my network manager can not detect AP, but if i using kismet i can. where is the problem?

[04:36] >?? [04:36] darkbishop: as it will have to install kernel modules. [04:36] darkbishop, can you scroll up to one of my previous posts.. I mention it there.

It seems something to do with my sound is causing terminal to stop responding, pidgin won't respond, Skype won't start... yet xchat seems to be fine [04:39] joe_, k, thanx. i am worried because i need to watch these for school and i've been trying to get this to work for like 3 hours [04:39] my bad...

[04:45] Moose: Usually the Prt Scrn key doubles with it [04:45] * IntuitiveNipple thinks he pressed it! [04:46] Anyone know how to make ENE Card Reader work in ubuntu 8.04? [04:46] can't delete a file- always there!!!! [04:46] sp00n: found something about a quicktime plugin in wine [04:46] vejan738, what file where? [04:46] =-O How do i use a compiz or emerald theme? [04:47] got a file in my root dir where i downloaded to [04:47] need to get rid of it [04:47] joe_, hm [04:47] vejan738, sudo rm [04:47] i am root already [04:47] jaseX you still around? [04:47] izinucs:thx... i got the driver install already.... tvm.. [04:47] hi [04:48] vejan738, you mean your home directory? Right click, select properties and look at the owner. [04:48] darkbishop, did any of what I suggested help? [04:48] vejan738, and you don't get any error messages at all? [04:48] darkbishop, sounds like it's working.. ? [04:48] izinucs:yeah alot.like installing the header and stoping the X thing.. thxx [04:48] darkbishop, np.. glad it's fixed for you [04:49] say rm cannot remove- no such file or directory [04:49] Hmm it's so strange I'm having this issue with the external hdd [04:49] i do a ls in that directory and the file is still listed [04:49] I mean, flash memory works fine [04:49] a USB sstick is fine [04:49] darkbishop, don't forget that for tweeking you can install nvidia-settings.. sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings.. after that you'll get an option on the System/Admin menu [04:50] vejan738, what's the files name? === chattan2 is now known as chattan3 === chattan3 is now known as chattan [04:50] its a Selma Hayek.jpg [04:51] izinucs: its return E: Couldn't find package nvidia-settings and eveytime i install VLC its said packages broken.... [04:51] vejan738: so what line are you using to remove it? [04:51] vejan738, if the file name has a space then when trying to remove it put quoted around the file name. [04:51] sudo rm -rf Selma Hayek.jpg [04:51] what are the rules about links, I wanna post a link to sp00n? [04:51] vejan738: If it has spaces in it you need to surround the file-name with " " quote marks if using the command-line [04:51] why my network manager not detected AP? but if i use kismet ican. [04:52] izinucs, to recommend someone to install a package, please use apturls instead, like "Open apt://nvidia-settings in Firefox". Newbies often get the impression that it's necessary to use the terminal to accomplish even the simplest things. [04:52] <|thunder> Whats the best text to speech app ? say, for reading web pages ? [04:52] WAHOOO its gone [04:52] vejan738: Alright, you *dont* need r or f. You *do* need to either quote or escape [04:52] vejan738, use "sudo rm "Selma Hayek.jpg" instead. [04:52] sp00n: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=718919 [04:52] OMG [04:52] joe_, thanks,i'll check that out [04:53] Hello? [04:53] vejan738: rm Sel[tab] would've taken care of it too, since it would have expanded, and automatically escaped the space (salma\ hayek.jpg) [04:53] Gemmie78, hello? [04:53] i used the quotes around the file [04:53] darkbishop, you can use System/Admin/Synaptic Pack. Mgr to search for nvidia-settings.. its there.. I just checked.. [04:53] and its gone [04:53] unbe are you there mate :) [04:53] holy crap [04:53] was sweating that a bit [04:53] xixaq do you have any ideas on why the drive is failing to mount, works on the mac and PC [04:54] why my network manager not detected AP? driver installed correctly. [04:54] Gemmie78, pc? Perhaps you mean Windows? [04:54] izinucs:thxxxxx [04:54] Yeah works on windows and on mac os leopard [04:54] thanks XiXaQ, Flannel [04:54] darkbishop, np.. [04:55] Basicall when I plug via usb, it says it fails to mount [04:55] Gemmie78, no, I don't know. You should try to write your questions in a single message, btw. It's very difficult to track split messages in an active channel as this. [04:55] is there any way of changing the administrator password if you don't know it? [04:56] gemmie78- how is the flash drive formatted as? [04:56] abaddon3k, yes, you can boot into ubuntu in single user mode, or Resque Mode. That gives your root privileges, and can change a users password. [04:56] That's cool, basically I've got an external hdd, it's a notebook hdd in an enclosure. It works via usb for my macbook and on my windows PC but it fails to mount in ubuntu [04:56] I'm not entirely sure of the formatting, but I was told to format it in such a way that both mac and windows should be able to read it [04:56] what wrong with my question? why don't anybody help me. [04:57] XiXaQ what command do i use to change another users password? [04:57] abaddon3k, passwd. [04:58] is there some kind of option to target another user? cause i tried that and it asked for the old password 1st [04:58] mac and windows uses 2 different formats [04:58] Is there a way I can find out without switching over [04:58] unless formatted with fat32 [04:58] I believe the format is ntfs [04:58] or something [04:58] sp00n: I can't play quicktime either [04:58] abaddon3k, if you run it as your own user, then you may only change your own password. It's reasonable to require that user to know his own password. However, if you're already logged in as root, you won't be asked about old passwords. [04:59] XiXaQ thank you very much. i'll restart and give it a try [04:59] abaddon3k, you'd do passwd username. [04:59] XiXaQ ok [04:59] joe_, oh bummer. I've been doing a lot of research and apparently it's a fairly common issue. I have tried the vlc plugin, mplayer, and gxine [04:59] Gemmie78, check out ext2ifs for windows then i think there is a utility for osx to read ext2 also [04:59] think u have to format as fat32 [04:59] abaddon3k, if you only run passwd, then you'll be setting a password for the root account. Don't do that unless you know why you're doing it. [04:59] fat32 has a 4gb file size limit [05:00] abaddon3k, if you have sudo access, then you can just do sudo passwd username. [05:00] hi everyone.., i just installed Nexuiz on ubuntu, and it starts but a blank screen and all i hear is music any help? [05:00] hey I'm having a problem flash player isn't installing for firefox. [05:00] XiXaQ i dont have sudo access from this account, which is why i need to change the password on the admin account [05:00] sp00n: it took me forever to find mov embedded to see [05:00] abaddon3k, right. Then you'll need to boot into resque mode. [05:01] XiXaQ for whatever reason when i install ubuntu and started it up for the 1st time it wouldn't accept the login info i supplied at start up [05:01] XiXaQ so on the advice of another user i created this account and was able to atleast login, but i still have no access to anything [05:01] this may be off topic, but if anybody knows a good shop that sells computers with ubuntu pre-installed id appreciate it. dell seems ovepriced for my needs [05:01] abaddon3k, capslock issue maybe? Or maybe misaligned hands when you typed and confirmed the password? :) [05:02] esac: #ubuntu-offtopic is the best place to ask that [05:02] esac, why don't you ask them not to install windows and install ubuntu your self? [05:02] XiXaQ i thought the same thing, so i reinstalled. over 30 times later it still gave me the same issues [05:02] i just installed Nexuiz on ubuntu, and it starts but a blank screen and all i hear is music any help? [05:02] Flannel: thanks ill ask there [05:02] abaddon3k, that sounds very strange. [05:02] XiXaQ everyone i've asked about it hasn't figured it out [05:02] raul1: because i want them to run a burn in test on the hardware before shipping it my way [05:02] i am using funpidgin in 8.04, but it doesnt have spell checker, is this normal? [05:02] abaddon3k, I've never heard of anything similar before. [05:02] XiXaQ so i'm just trying to work around it. [05:02] ok well ubuntu has never failed any of the computers ive installed it on [05:03] joe_, it appears I would have to try it under Wine...I'll check that out, and I also run VirtualBox so I could just load it up in IE on XP because I know it works OK in windows...assuming I can get Quicktime working on VBox [05:03] but enver hruts to be precaustious [05:03] XiXaQ i found one post on a forum through google that had the same issue, but no one responed to it [05:03] can anyone help me install flash player? [05:03] raul1: ive had a couple pieces of hardware that dont play well with ubuntu. rare, but i wont to make sure before i take possession [05:03] abaddon3k, right. Resque mode should... resque you. [05:04] XiXaQ yes, i hope it works. either way i'll be back and let you know [05:04] why not detect AP my network manager?? [05:04] so nobody ever heard any problems with nexuiz? [05:04] the fps game? [05:04] it opens but a blank screen all i hear is the music :( [05:04] wrong video driver? [05:04] it's saying enter a valid path but /usr/lib/mozilla isn't working [05:05] Ninesvnsicks, make sure you have Restricted enabled in System > Administration > Software Sources. Then open apt://ubuntu-restricted-extras in Firefox. [05:05] vejan738: me?, no i definatley have the correct one semi-nice one at that. [05:05] hardware match the min hardware requirements? [05:05] above [05:05] x3 [05:05] Yay. Ubuntu fails at recognizing my CRT's 1280x1024@60Hz maximum resolution :P [05:06] DARKGuy, is that a question or a bug report? [05:06] XiXaQ, could be both. I need to add the res manually now :( [05:06] restriceted is on [05:06] sp00n: I would say for tonight Vbox is you best bet... I just checked my win2k install in Vbox and it plays there [05:06] Ninesvnsicks, then open the url I gave you? [05:07] I'll check it out [05:07] XiXaQ, where can I fill a bug report? [05:07] bash: apt://ubuntu-restricted-extras: No such file or directory [05:07] anyone with moer knowlage of ubuntulinux then me under stand this?How can I place a shortcut to Nexuiz on my Linux desktop? Use the script nexuiz-linux-sdl.sh or nexuiz-linux-glx.sh instead of the binaries. The scripts will use the correct working directory,choose the right version (32 or 64 bit) and also allow you to start a extra X server. [05:07] DARKGuy, on www.launchpad.net [05:07] Ninesvnsicks, in Firefox. It's a url. [05:07] XiXaQ, thanks :) [05:08] oh ok got it [05:08] Ninesvnsicks, maybe you can even click it, if your irc client supports it. [05:08] can some1 tell me how to install adobe flash plz help i dont know how to donload from the abobe website [05:08] how do i get my kernel to panic on purpose? i want to try something.

[05:09] hey guys, installed 64bit ubuntu today (8.04) and now I can't seem to checkout a repository with kdesvn or rapidsvn anymore, I get PROPFIND of '/': 403 Forbidden, anyone know why? I dont even get a login prompt [05:10] XiXaQ thank you so much, your advice worked [05:10] nice thanks [05:10] abaddon3k, great. :) [05:10] Anybody know why in firefox my flash plays but with no sound? Is this common? [05:10] XiXaQ after three days of trying, i can finally sit down and run linux :) [05:11] abaddon3k, I'm happy for you. :) [05:11] sullyva86, sudo apt-get install libflashsupport [05:11] sullyva86, there is a problem when something else is using the sound interface. Try closing any media players, etc and restart firefox to see if that helps. [05:11] zeelot: that has nothing to do with Ubuntu, check the repo admin [05:11] well, if i have any more questions i know where to come to when google fails me. [05:12] hi folks... I was in here earlier with a problem installing ubuntu.. [05:12] and I've got a couple more questions :-) [05:12] fyrestrtr: it works fine from other computers, problem only started when I installed 64bit ubuntu [05:12] abaddon3k, also remember the Questions pages on www.launchpad.net [05:12] I've attempted install of a dual boot thing - on a new hard disc which has XP already installed.... [05:12] yah close all media players, mine works that way as well [05:12] XiXaQ: Oh ok yeah i do have vlc open too thanks [05:12] after completing the install from the live CD - grub fails to startup, and I just get windows :-( [05:12] zeelot: specify the credentials on the commandline, its picking up a set of credentials that don't match. [05:13] zeelot: use svn co and see if that works. [05:13] sullyva86, have you considered changing the sound server from pulse to alsa? i have done so and can use multiple sound apps [05:13] and if it's material - windows can no longer 'see' the partition with Ubuntu... my 250gig drive shows as 25 gig (which is what I'd like to leave windows....) [05:13] airtonix: Why isn't it set to alsa by default then? Is there some disadvantage to changing it? [05:13] sullyva86, you can find out [05:13] afterhelp: http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html [05:13] fyrestrtr: svn co does the same thing [05:14] zeelot: how are you using it? [05:14] sullyva86, i also made use of a prog called aoss to help multiple wine apps share the soundserver too [05:14] to all:im trying to install VLC.... but it came out "E: Broken packages"... any idea y its happen? [05:14] (thanks bullgard :-) ) [05:14] tuananh_coltech2005 [05:15] fjsldkjf [05:15] dfldflkdjs [05:15] dskjflskdjf [05:15] sdlkfheiksdjf [05:15] dffsdklfjljkoe [05:15] tuananhcoltech20: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:15] airtonix: I can find out? lol nahh i'll just do one at a time then its not a big deal. Unless its simple to switch back n forth i don't want to risk messing up my install. Xixaq's advice worked. [05:15] afterhelp, Windows isn't able to view Ubuntu partitions. You can install support for it though. Have a look at www.fs-driver.org [05:16] tuananhcoltech20: Stop it. [05:16] sullyva86, its not difficult...you change an option in a dropdown menu [05:16] is there anything I can do from the live CD to try and kickstart Grub into opening? [05:16] hi [05:16] join #debian [05:16] What is a good sceen color grabber for Ubuntu. One that, on click, puts the screen color under the cursor onto the clipboard. [05:16] <_Zeus_> atul: huh? [05:16] airtonix: in sound preferences? [05:16] sullyva86, system -> preferences -> mutlimedia system selector [05:16] _Zeus_, by mistake... [05:17] sullyva86,if 'mutlimedia system selector' isnt there, you have to enable the menu entry by editing the menus...right click it and edit menu.. [05:17] to be a bit more clear... my install shows as successful, everything completes etc. - but on reboot I simply head into windows... [05:17] hi i installed alsa 1.18rc how to downgrade to alsa 1.17 [05:18] airtonix: OK where do i find it in the add menu's? [05:18] sullyva86,you also change the soundserver vlc uses in its preferences from pulse to alsa [05:18] airtonix: Oh ok that might be easier [05:18] sullyva86,down the bottom...system -> preferences -> multimedia sysmte selector... it will be unticked maybe [05:18] sullyva86, this is required too [05:19] airtonix: oh ok i found it [05:19] airtonix: apparently i'm already using alsa lol [05:19] airtonix: Oh wait thats for input [05:19] sullyva86, now you need to get aoss too and make sure all your apps use alsa rather than pulse [05:20] airtonix: Wait so what do i change in that menu then? [05:21] sullyva86, isnt it obvious? output to alsa [05:22] what kernel is shipped with 7.10? [05:22] airtonix: Well it was on autodetect i wasn't sure [05:23] roe_: how specific do you need?

[05:24] roe_: 2.6.22 [05:24] roe_: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=gutsy&searchon=names&keywords=linux-image [05:24] sullyva86, think so, i can have multiple apps playing sound [05:25] sullyva86, that gui you went into to change the sound server is bascially the gstreamer soundserver chooser...so totem is affected by that but vlc will need to be changed manually [05:26] !sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-esd mozilla-plugin-vlc libdvdcss2 [05:26] darkbishop: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:26] Uh, okay, could anybody please explain me why if I added my resolution manually in xorg.conf, it isn't being used or even detected in the "Screen resolutions" app? this is my xorg: http://rafb.net/p/c04aDC46.html [05:26] And yes I've tried ctrl+backspace [05:26] hey ppl [05:26] airtonix: Oh duh thats right.

[05:39] but now it's locking out ssh attempts. [05:39] yes [05:39] it worked fine five minutes ago. [05:39] and normally I'd just say...well it must just be ATI support sucks [05:39] fyrestrtr: i get this error message after i restarted my network interface : http://paste.ubuntu.com/49169/ [05:39] but these drivers worked before [05:40] Emmett, try to contain your question within a single message. We're 1256 users in here. [05:40] Hi. I just installed the server edition, and for some reason Gnome wont load. I'm thinking its a video driver issue, the machine as ATI Crossfires. Is my guess correct and if so is there a way to download a correct driver in command line. [05:40] so logic would dictate that they should be able to work again. [05:40] tomkelleher, there is no gui in the server install, unless you've installed it manually afterwards? [05:40] Cheeky: dmesg | grep -i eth <-- pastebin output of that [05:40] We changed the server IP of an ubuntu server install. ssh'ed into the machine, no problem. But now it's locking out ssh attempts when it worked fine minutes ago. [05:40] atrus42, hmm well I don't have much experience with ATI, but if you can get the drivers working there, I can help you with X.org configuring. I'm mostly an NVIDIA guy :P [05:41] what is the easiest way to add a partition to grub ?? [05:41] I'd love a decent nvidia graphics card [05:41] Emmett, you're connecting to the new ip? [05:41] fyrestrtr: http://paste.ubuntu.com/49171/ [05:41] XiXaQ, I chose to install "Ubuntu Desktop" during install which should be gnome correct [05:41] r3c0n: sudo vi /boot/grub/menu.lst [05:41] would ubuntu be capable of being installed on a pentium pro 200? [05:41] tomkelleher, right. Do you get any error messages? [05:41] XiXaQ: Yes. [05:41] XiXaQ: I connected to the new IP successfully once. [05:42] how do i make thunderbird my default email application? [05:42] XiXaQ: Now, no long. [05:42] love. [05:42] dn4, it should, yes. Depends on the amount of ram though. It requires at least 256MB RAM. [05:42] Cheeky: in your /etc/network/interfaces, change eth0 to eth1 [05:42] Cheeky: then it will stick with the static IP [05:42] XiXaQ, no thats the odd thing, I can hear everything load up. The "bong" for the login screen, and I can login and I hear the login music. But no image. [05:42] if I copy everything in my home folder to say a USB drive. Install any distro of linux to another computer and then replace the new home folder with the home folder on my USB drive, will the new installation of linux have all the settings and installed applications of the origonal linux that I coppied the home folder from [05:42] fyrestrtr: ok let me try [05:42] actually what had happened is, I had an ATI card installed, and it was working ok, but I couldn't get ruby or compiz or whatever it's called now working right. The net said it's because it is only support by nvidia cards, so I had an old card that the fan had died on (which is when I got the ATI card in the first place) which I thought I had fixed, so I tried it, but it didn't work. [05:42] XiXaQ, ok [05:43] tomkelleher, try pressing alt+ctrl+f7? [05:43] so I uninstalled the nvidia driver and tried to reinstall ati, but it isn't taking [05:43] XiXaQ, right that should give me a command line right? [05:43] I have installed mod-survey on ubuntu on apache 2.0.x and mod_perl 2.0.x, now when I restart apache I get: http://pastebin.com/m36cddf82 and upon accessing the site I get 404... [05:43] tomkelleher, no, that should give you the gdm. [05:43] what is the easiest way to add a partition to the grub again ?? i missed it just now [05:43] what is the easiest way to add a partition to the grub again ?? i missed it just now [05:44] logged offline accidentaly [05:44] fyrestrtr: i got this wheni restarted my networkinter face : configuring network interfaces... Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0. [05:44] " [05:44] so I'd like to get a decent nvidia card, but AGP cards in general are hard to come by [05:44] fyrestrtr: http://paste.ubuntu.com/49172/ [05:44] r3c0n, you can use startup manager, or edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [05:44] Cheeky: that's fine, did you change all eth0 to eth1 ? [05:44] !fglrx | atrus42 [05:44] atrus42: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [05:44] the most difficult challenge i think is wireless on linux [05:44] Doh. [05:44] My bad. [05:45] r3c0n, wireless is nice. Drivers are difficult when the manufacturers won't make drivers for their hardware. [05:45] I've been through all of that...followed everything step by step, but when I do the fglrxinfo command, and it is supposed to bring up "ati" as the vendor it doesn't [05:45] Cheeky: pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces again [05:45] thats what i mean not every linux supports every driver card === calc__ is now known as calc [05:45] its a murder to get it to work [05:46] if I copy my home folder to a USB drive, install a new version of linux on a fresh PC and then copy the home folder from the USB drive to the new system will the new install of linux be just like the origonal that I copied the home folder from [05:46] nvm... System > Preferences > Prefered Applications [05:46] fyrestrtr: http://paste.ubuntu.com/49173/ [05:46] For wireless I have had very good results with the rt73 for major distributions [05:46] i tried it for a long time on some pentest linux for months but on ubuntu it did it in one day [05:46] r3c0n, it's not legal. It can't be done. [05:46] XiXaQ: Apparently someone else just connected for a brief moment and got reset off of the machine after running an ls [05:47] Cheeky: change auto eth0 to auto eth1 [05:47] Emmett, sounds strange. I don't know what the problem might be. [05:47] its because it downloaded the driver from the net it self how smart is that ????? [05:47] Emmett, try #ubuntu-server. [05:47] r3c0n, I don't understand that question. [05:47] good hardware support [05:47] fyrestrtr: ill paste bacjk the file when doen [05:48] A+++ [05:48] dont worry [05:48] what is the easiest way to add a partition to the grub again ?? [05:48] r3c0n: sudo vi /boot/grub/menu.lst [05:48] r3c0n, did you read my last message? [05:48] no missed it [05:48] i closed irc by mistake [05:48] r3c0n, look for it then. [05:49] r3c0n, I repeated it for you when you got back. [05:49] im blind [05:49] fyrestrtr: i think it worked..when i s\restarted it i just got this line back does this mean it works ? " Reconfiguring network interfaces... " OK [05:49] Cheeky: yes, this means everything is normal. [05:49] does anyone know of any simple text editors that can categorize files by tags? [05:49] Cheeky: check your config with ifconfig [05:50] ok im in grub [05:50] how do we add the partition sda4 for backtrack ? [05:50] XiXaQ, I just tried Ctrl+Alt+F7, nothing has come up on the monitor. [05:50] Emmet: did the /etc/ssh/sshd_config have ListenAddress set? [05:50] it only allows 4sda s [05:50] what's on sda4 ? [05:50] Is xmessage alone suitable to display a message on a remote Ubuntu computer in the same LAN, or is a supplementary program needed for this purpose? [05:51] BT3 is on sda [05:51] making a triple boot [05:51] trying hard to [05:51] fyrestrtr: ok thank you and if i wanted to shutdown the server remotely would it be sudo shutdown ? [05:51] tomkelleher, Try all the other alt+ctrl+f1-12 :) If that doesn't work, try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [05:51] Cheeky: sudo shutdown -h now [05:51] Cheeky: that will do immediately [05:52] Cheeky, shut down or restart? [05:52] Cheeky: sudo shutdown now [05:52] sda 1 -xp , sda2 - ubuntu , sda3 - swap and sda4 - backtrack [05:52] configure grub for me [05:52] can someone help me with my sound?? [05:52] Cheeky: you need a time (now doesn't have to be now, you can say "in 20 minutes" or whatever) [05:52] what tha heck is backtrack [05:52] need the grub [05:52] google it [05:52] how to cancel pendient apt operations? [05:52] can someone help me? [05:52] bunnyto: ctrl+c [05:53] fyrestrtr: no when its running, pendient operations [05:53] Flannel: nice man [05:53] does there exist an app that will make my computer act like a bluetooth headset for my phone? [05:53] any1??? [05:53] hackZor: ? [05:53] bunnyto: what? pendient operations? Did it quit without finishing? [05:54] fyrestrtr: Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 12 not upgraded. [05:54] bunny i need help with my sound [05:54] sda 1 -xp , sda2 - ubuntu , sda3 - swap and sda4 - backtrack configure grub for me ??? [05:54] it never works [05:54] bazz: you need to add audio gateway profile to your device, not sure how you would do that tbh. [05:54] no meaning whats the grub doesnt let me use lilo ..????? [05:54] hackZor: aint you a hacker?? ohhh you are poser [05:54] fyrestrtr: i'll see what i can dig up with those as keywords, thanks [05:54] is it possible to use lan to connect to a network while at the same time use wlan for internet? [05:54] bunnyto: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [05:54] fuck you pussy [05:55] r3c0n, lilo and grub are competing boot managers? [05:55] anyone know how i can specify a range of IPs to be blocked in hosts.allow? for example, i want 58.14.0.0 to 58.25.255.255 to be blocked.. [05:55] Zhane yes its possible [05:55] yep thats right [05:55] amenado: how? [05:55] no dmi bios year acpi= force is required to enable acpi what does this mean? [05:55] i tried.. but when I do it.. everything goes haywire [05:55] but lilo doesnt work and ubuntu put grub there for me [05:55] but i dont use grub [05:55] anyone? === eminem is now known as Guest79899 [05:55] sda 1 -xp , sda2 - ubuntu , sda3 - swap and sda4 - backtrack configure grub for me [05:55] Zhane what have you done so far? [05:55] pptical: you need to give it a mask. [05:55] XiXaQ, yea that didn't work could you pls tell me how to get a command line on start up instead of Gnome [05:56] press c on grub [05:56] for command prompt [05:56] ty r3c0n [05:56] or was it esc some button [05:56] tomkelleher, you can press alt+ctrl+f1. [05:56] pptical: Put them in hosts.deny [05:56] IntuitiveNipple but how do i specify a range? [05:57] i would like to try ubuntu on an old laptop but the error no dmi will not let me continue the install. [05:57] fyrestrtr: I get this message everytime i use APT : The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: libmono-addins-gui0.2-cil sg3-utils libopenal1 bluez nome sane-utils libedit2 [05:57] having issues trying to get ndiswrapper on ubuntu 7.10 just have been too lazy to get the new version but am trying to get this linsys wireless card to work on my wifes pc..supposedly theres ndis on the cd but i havent found it with apt-cache search so I figured I had to go get it off the net and put it on a disk but im not aware of how to mount the drive so I can copy the files over...anwyays..help would be appreciated..have looked at [05:57] some threads and whatnot.. [05:57] bunnyto: sudo apt-get autoremove [05:57] pptical: man hosts_access [05:57] fyrestrtr: no way!!! its to remove all Gnome [05:57] amenado: just on the 2 of them together? [05:57] pptical: See the "Patterns" section [05:57] bunnyto: no it won't. [05:57] fyrestrtr: no way!!! its to remove all Gnome they are around 1000 packages [05:58] sudo apt-get does it download the softwares from the internet or from /root ?? [05:58] when installing [05:58] r3c0n: where do you think the software is located? [05:58] donno [05:58] r3c0n, sudo (super user execute) apt-get will get it from synaptic package manager [05:58] from harddisk u mean [05:58] fyrestrtr: The following packages will be REMOVED: abiword gnome abiword-common abiword-help abiword-plugin-goffice kde-base [05:59] from the ubuntu library [05:59] r3c0n..if the software was on the disk you wouldnt have to download it [05:59] bunnyto: its okay, don't worry [05:59] r3c0n, no, it gets it on the internet, from synaptic package manager from whatever repos you have added [05:59] fyrestrtr: are you kidding me? i want to cancel that, not to remove gnome [05:59] bunnyto: 'gnome' is a meta package. [05:59] are there any antivirus apps that will run in the gnome system tray, doing realtime protection? [05:59] !info gnome [05:59] Package gnome does not exist in hardy [05:59] is there a way to increase the autohide speed of gnome panel? [05:59] kwyjibo: clamav I believe has something like that. [05:59] ok and why do we have to type sudo infront of every command and cant log in as root user how come ?? [05:59] kwyjibo: and there are commercial products too. [06:00] Is xmessage alone suitable to display a message on a remote Ubuntu computer in the same LAN, or is a supplementary program needed for this purpose? [06:00] I need some assistance with ndiswrapper...supposedly its on the cd havent been able to find it cant find it in syn..figured id have to get it off the net.. [06:00] r3c0n, logging in as root is a major security threat. sudo means (super user execute) so that the specific command you just typed has all privileges to execute and install [06:00] ndiswrapper is full in forums [06:00] Does anyone know where I can get help with xming [06:00] r3c0n, you do not have to type sudo infront of every command, only infront of commands that require it such as installing items [06:01] r3c0n..it is the worst thing you can do is to log in as root..so you do sudo to get root access while being on another username..its why linux is better because you dont have to operate as root and so its a security thing [06:01] ok cool [06:01] IntuitiveNipple it says to provide the net/mask pair for a range.. but what if the range is 58.14.0.0 to 58.25.255.255? [06:01] IntuitiveNipple would i have to provide net/mask for each? [06:02] ok i get it how can i get all the softwares if it refuses to install it under sudo ?? [06:02] r3c0n..thats the biggest windows pitfall is that it allows total access to everything as a single user so that is why linux is better because its not as easy to delete important files so its a big security advantage [06:03] i cant play dvd's [06:03] it's saying [06:03] "error cannot read from resource" [06:03] can i break the root and log in just to install a bunch of softwares ? [06:03] well it plays the first like ten minutes and then it says that [06:03] there is no way to get to root ? [06:03] r3c0n, if it refuses to install under sudo it wont install as root either [06:03] ok got it [06:04] as I stated r3c0n...sudo allows for temporary root access so you dont even have to login as root [06:04] phantomcircuit: bad DVD disc [06:05] is there a way to increase the autohide speed of gnome panel? [06:05] how do i get the shortcuts to the desktop of the softwares that i install ? [06:05] fyrestrtr, that's what i thought, but it fails at random access after the point it failed at at first [06:05] so i doubt it [06:05] bad disc [06:05] phantomcircuit: do you have another drive you could test said disc on? [06:05] r3c0n: if you install using synaptic it should add icons for you in your applications menu.. Otherwise you have to create shortcuts for the commands [06:05] tried to make shortcuts but didnt find the files i installed [06:06] no i do not have another drive i could test it on [06:06] hey [06:06] pptical: Build it up from several masks, starting with 58.14.0.0/12, which takes you to 54.15.255.255 [06:06] is there some way to just test the disc and not the playback? [06:06] Well if you have a checksum of the disc... then yes... [06:06] does anyone know how to remove the icon next to the applications places systems menu?????????? just remove it, not replace it...........disabling it would be nice :) thanks [06:06] What disc is it? [06:06] phantomcircuit: test for what exactly? [06:06] it's a movie [06:07] and is it legit or illegit, don't be afraid to answer. [06:07] it's legit [06:07] Ok [06:07] Which movie? [06:07] well i cheated like hell at a contest to get it but it is "legit" [06:07] pptical: next is 58.16.0.0/13 (takes you to 58.23.255.255) [06:07] XiXaQ, so I was only able to enter recovery mode, my monitor just goes to sleep on a normal boot. Any suggestions at this point? [06:07] lucky #slevin ? [06:07] HEH :p phantomcircuit [06:07] alright [06:07] and i have libdvdcss installed [06:07] hey [06:07] hey, can someone tell me how to reinstall xine? no movie player would play my movies, including VCL [06:07] how do we create shortcuts out of commands ?? by typing launch or smth in the command section ?? === dv2000__ is now known as mlern [06:08] does anyone have aircap running? [06:08] IntuitiveNipple that's the question, there is no easy way to do it.. i have to provide one line for each range, right? [06:08] And media type? [06:08] Just dvd 4 or dvd 9 or hddvd? [06:08] it's a DVD video dvd [06:08] Alright... [06:08] Hmm does it fail in a normal DVD player at all? [06:08] pptical: finall is 58.24.0.0/15 (takes you to 54.25.255.255) [06:08] i dont have one :P [06:08] !dvdcss2 [06:08] Factoid dvdcss2 not found [06:08] ? [06:08] hmmm [06:09] !libdvdcss [06:09] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [06:09] r3c0n, get your run dialouge up ( alt + f2) [06:09] yeah, that.. ;) [06:09] hey, can someone tell me how to reinstall xine? no movie player would play my movies, including VCL [06:09] :D [06:09] cool seen it [06:09] ** VLC [06:09] JaseX, i have that installed [06:09] pptical: That is easy... for the system... if it had to figure it out every time a connection attempt occurred it would slow down the networking side [06:09] it wouldn't play at all if i didnt :P [06:09] god this pisses me off..a dvd that will not play on a computer [06:09] is there a way to save on desktop as shortcut [06:09] ?? [06:09] ianq: have you installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras [06:10] r3c0n, type in the command you want...(remember that if the command sequence requirs a sudo...you need to use gksudo isntead) [06:10] phantomcircuit: I know, just helping zcat with his syntax :D [06:10] funny thing if you don't have libdvdcss2 installed, everything 'appears' to be OK except your disk comes up as if it's corrupted, lots of read errors and crap. [06:10] r3c0n, then drag the gears icon to the desktop [06:10] phantomcircuit: I'm not sure then... sounds like your drive. [06:10] grendal_prime: have you installed medibuntu stuff? [06:10] and does kismet work on ubuntu ? [06:10] .. not just a simple 'you don't have dvdccss2' error [06:10] JaseX: how do i find that out? [06:10] ya, its one of those werid dvds [06:10] [00000300] dvdread demuxer error: read failed for 0/4 blocks at 0x96d30 [06:10] It might depend on the drive though [06:10] i installed it but there was a problem starting it ... [06:10] ianq: open up gnome-terminal and type in 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' [06:10] i can play other dvd's no problems this one is like..ummm hold on ill get the name of the app on it [06:11] phantomcircuit: Its. A. Bad. Disc. [06:11] JaseX: installing right now. by the way, i'm running kde [06:11] there's also regionset if you feel bad about breaking the law [06:11] !regionset [06:11] Factoid regionset not found [06:11] and then goto medibuntu, and follow it's setup and install w32codecs [06:11] !info regionset [06:11] Package regionset does not exist in hardy [06:11] fyrestrtr, there are crc32 checksums on dvds right? is there someway i can run that manually? [06:11] ianq than use kubuntu-restricted-extras instead [06:11] wtf, it does too... [06:11] InterActual Player Read Me [06:11] !info region-set [06:11] Package region-set does not exist in hardy [06:12] * JaseX shrugs then. [06:12] ya its a pain in the ass thing. [06:12] regionset - view and modify the region code of DVD drives [06:12] ianq: do you know how to add an additional sofwtware source? [06:12] JaseX: is that in sources.list? [06:12] yes. [06:13] i can read the filesystem though. is there another way to extract the vob i need just to view the thing...fk this sucks ass [06:13] JaseX: then yes [06:13] but www.medibuntu.org has easier instructions [06:13] It's in gNewSense .. it ought to be in ubuntu somewhere.. perhaps it's in medibuntu but I don't know why.. it sets the region in the drive's firmware so plays dvd's the 'legal' way afaik [06:13] cause you'll also want w32codecs :D [06:13] especially if it's a wmv file [06:13] can someone explain to me what the /etc/acpi/sleepbtn.sh script does? its a simple two liner but I don't know what the commands do, or why there is a dot (.) at the beginning of the first line. thanks [06:14] I think i've become too dependent on ubuntu... I was just sitting noticing I had no lighter and randomly thought... "Gee I should perfom sudo apt-get install lighter" [06:15] ezzieyguywuf, it's the script that runs when you press the sleep button.. and ". script' does the same or similar to 'sh script' -- runs a script in a subshell [06:15] JaseX: how do i use medibuntu to install the codecs? [06:16] !medibuntu | ianq [06:16] ianq: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [06:16] 'sudo apt-get me a sandwich [06:16] zcat: yea I know that its what runs when I press the sleep button. so the first line basically just runs /usr/shar/acpi-support/key-constants ? and what does that last line do? [06:16] yeah i'm on that website [06:16] ezzieyguywuf, dunno, haven't bothered actually looking at the script ;) [06:17] fyrestrtr, yeah your right the dvd is fucked [06:17] how to use lan for networking, wlan for internet together huh? [06:17] zcat: could you take a looke please :-[ [06:17] fuck you amazon, fuck you [06:17] ezzieyguywuf, first line runs key-constants as a script, which probably sers a bunch of constants? [06:17] phantomcircuit: please watch your language [06:17] does anyone know if the issuses with x86-64 ubuntu and nVidia 6600GT graphics cards are sorted out. I think X is giving me grief (ie i get weird colours after the initial splash screen - and its putting out the wrong resoloution) [06:17] Hi all ! How reg me ? [06:17] well, assuming it's the same script in gNewSense ;) [06:17] ianq: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [06:18] zcat: yea, that looks about right. what does "acpi_fakekey $KEY_SLEEP " do? [06:18] oneal: type /msg nickserv help register [06:18] debmirror gave me "Transfer truncated: only 868700 out of 936823 bytes received" twice (the first time may or may not have had the same bytes received) [06:18] Thank [06:18] fyrestrtr: what if I forgot my password for that, is there any way to recover it? [06:18] well after that i see no reason to ever buy a DVD again [06:18] Is xmessage alone suitable to display a message on a remote Linux computer in the same LAN, or is a supplementary program needed for this purpose? Is xhost suitable? [06:18] ianq: that should solve any movie player problems, as from what you're describing seems to be lack of codecs. [06:19] ezzieyguywuf: I blieve you can from the freenode website. [06:19] runs acpi_fakekey with whatever $KEY_SLEEP got sent to (some keycode?) so fakes the acpi action for pressing the sleep key? [06:19] JaseX: yes, hopefully. i'm installing the codes now [06:19] fyrestrtr: ok i'll check it out [06:19] thanks zcat, was posting a highly arbitrary post in the Community Cafe. [06:20] zcat: I dunno, thats what I wanna know. what is acpi_fakekey? [06:20] so look at the /usr/share/acpi-support/key-constants script to see what the variable gets set to, and man acpi_fakekey to see what's being done to it [06:20] Why does this happen every time?! Shortly after I install, usually a few days, any music decides not to work and to freeze ANY PLAYER I try to play it in. What the heck is wrong with it? [06:20] Can someone please tell me how to change boot order? [06:21] Timberwolf5578: are you using grub? [06:21] yes [06:21] zcat: ok, so KEY_SLEEP=142 . what exactly does that mean? [06:21] zcat[1]: you have a message waiting, but it's not important, check it when you have some freetime. [06:21] /usr/bin/acpi_fakekey (there's no man page or -h help though.. might have to read the source code to figure out what it does ;) [06:21] when enters in sale for PC GTA 4 ? [06:21] Timberwolf7778: alright, 1 moment [06:21] how do i uncompress .rar files on ubuntu? [06:21] where is the boot order changer in control center? [06:21] zcat: and acpi_fakekey has no man page :-/ [06:21] it's not in control center [06:22] Timberwolf5578, there isnt one [06:22] you need to edit a file in grub [06:22] interesting, kde makes it so easy [06:22] could I get some assistance with snmp please? [06:22] does anyone know how to get winrar or a .rar decompresser on ubuntu??? [06:22] I hate commands that have no man page :( [06:22] zcat: yea me too [06:22] ezzieyguywuf, why would it ...acpi_fakekey isnt a package or a seperate piece of softare...look at its parent software or developer website [06:22] Timberwolf5578: Do you mean the order in which disk devices are searched when the system starts? [06:22] seems like it's more complex in gnome [06:22] Why does this happen every time?! Shortly after I install, usually a few days, any music decides not to work and to freeze ANY PLAYER I try to play it in. What the heck is wrong with it? [06:22] !rar | raul1 [06:22] raul1: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression.

[06:23] too bad the bot is wwrong [06:23] ok thanks [06:23] Timberwolf5578, investigate editing the grub menu [06:23] Timberwolf5578: okay; didn't want us to get confused. [06:23] you can use it for ever even w/o buying it [06:23] Timberwolf5578: don't forget to backup menu.lst [06:23] legend2440, that is for applications insde gnome i believe [06:24] raul1: you can, but then technically you're evaluating it raul1, so the bot is not wrong. [06:24] Timberwolf5578, alt-F2, gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and move the 'Windows" boot entry up above the autogenerated stuff instead of below it.. [06:24] it's wrong eaither way [06:24] It'd be technically dishonest to continue using it with out donating, but i'm not chastising you. [06:24] + simplr answer would have been unrar-free [06:24] thanks for the help though. [06:24] here what city ? [06:24] It's not wrong. The program costs, you just choose not to pay for it. [06:25] Timberwolf5578: editing the menu.lst file in /boot/grub will also change the default [06:25] the infobot is correct. [06:25] Why does this happen every time?! Shortly after I install, usually a few days, any music decides not to work and to freeze ANY PLAYER I try to play it in. What the heck is wrong with it? [06:25] Does anyone have ANY clue? [06:25] OoRal: have you installed all necessary codecs... [06:25] anyone know how to use unrar :(? [06:25] via medibuntu such as w32codecs, and ubuntu-restricted-extras? [06:25] I said it was working for a few days, JaseX. [06:25] ok, now where will startup manager be listed? I installed it [06:25] raul1, mana rar , man unrar [06:25] how much presently time ? [06:25] raul1: I know how to use unrar. [06:26] When the bot speaks about non-free it means 'not Freedom giving. -- You don't get the source necessary to excercise freedoms #1 and #3 [06:26] Timberwolf5578: system>administration [06:26] can u show me how >_>? [06:26] unrar -x file destination [06:26] JaseX: I installed all the codecs because I was listening to music just two days ago [06:26] i.e. unrar -x lol.rar ~/Desktop [06:26] OoRal: did you install them all manually? [06:26] ok thanks [06:27] raul1, go here, find all the answers to your simple questions : http://ubuntuguide.org [06:27] or did you use the ubuntu-restricted-extras meta-package? [06:27] JaseX: uhm, i installed the w32 codes, but i still see only blue when playing a movie [06:27] What kind of movie is it... [06:27] extension I mean? [06:27] And do you know what codec was used while encoding it? [06:27] JaseX: This also happened last time I had Ubuntu installed. I tried everything from reinstalling drivers to restarting samba to reinstalling media players. None of it worked. AND I SAID I HAVE THE CODECS ALREADY. [06:27] I also said it was MUSIC. [06:27] raul1, keep this place bookmarked : http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy [06:28] OoRal, /ignore OoRal [06:28] i did a base installation of hardy and now i am not able to play sound at all. earlier sound worked by default with default settings/configuration. is there any package that i am missing? [06:28] !sound [06:28] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [06:28] OoRal: I know that, I asked you a specific question though, no need to get snippy, if you choose not to answer, then don't. [06:28] I wouldn't be getting angry if people listened to me [06:28] I -DID- Listen, you chose not to respond to my question simply.\ [06:28] OoRal: people are listening, but they may not have an answer [06:29] ok startup manager worked great [06:29] I asked if you installed them manually, or if you used the ubuntu-restricted-extras meta-package. [06:29] No, they're asking questions I answered already, danbh_intrepid [06:29] I used the restricted extras one. [06:29] weird that it's not included by default [06:29] You didn't answer my question actually OoRal, don't assinine. [06:29] ianq: are you using mplayer? [06:29] be assinine* [06:29] Whatever the hell that's meant to mean [06:29] ok. [06:29] Thank you. [06:30] It means don't be pointless.. [06:30] legend2440: i've used vlc, kaffeine, codeine, dragonplayer [06:30] What do you all think of Ubuntu with Enlightenment 17? Otherwise known as OpenGeu. [06:30] unrar -x /home/raulh/Desktop/ installer.rar [06:30] whats wrong with this syntax :(? [06:30] OoRal, JaseX: We ask everyone to be helpful in this channel, please honor that, thanks. [06:30] Have you tried sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-restricted-extras [06:30] JaseX: dont use enter as punctuation please [06:30] JaseX: it's .avi; they worked fine until a couple of days ago and play well on my XP machine as well [06:30] and then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras? [06:30] k, doing it now [06:31] No one here has tried Enlightenment? [06:31] sorry danbh_intrepid I will try to refrain from typing such short posts. [06:31] is anyone familliar with opengl settings? I am trying to use google earth, and it says that I am using software rendering. I have the restricted ATI graphics drivers installed and in use. Is there something else I need to set to allow applications to use hardware acceleration? [06:31] JaseX: please use my name when referring to our conversation [06:31] can anyone tell me what's wrong with this syntax unrar -x /home/raulh/Desktop/ installer.rar [06:31] ianq: so this is a recent problem? [06:31] JaseX: Try it now or do I need something else? [06:31] raul1: i think the rar file gors before the path [06:31] OoRal: that may help, I am not sure. does local music play. [06:31] oh [06:31] JaseX: yes sir [06:31] ianq: i had the same blue screen when playing movies using mplayer until i changed the video driver to gl [06:31] *goes [06:31] thanks jim [06:31] raul1: what jim_p said [06:32] JaseX: That's all I'm trying to play. [06:32] goodmorning everyone [06:32] how to disable hibernate and save space === Bajoran is now known as Bajoraptor [06:32] raul1: or you could cd to the dir you want and do unrar e -r /path/to/files/*.rar [06:32] JaseX: Nup, doesn't work, frozen again [06:32] raul1, ubuntuguide.org [06:32] well you said something about samba, which is used for accessing files over another computer, so I wasn't sure OoRal. [06:32] This happens frequently after each install? [06:32] legend2440: how did you do that? [06:32] airtonix this channel wouldnt be here if it wasnt for questions [06:32] OoRal: what media player are you using? [06:32] JaseX: I swear I said alsa... it's happened twice [06:32] raul1, yes it would [06:32] ricree: are you sure that you re using the fglrx drivers? [06:33] JaseX: It occurs on all media players I try. Amarok, Rhythmbox and VLC [06:33] err how to restart sound server ? [06:33] hey, i'm using WUBI, and the original partition image that was made was 10gb, I created a new disk called extra.disk in the proper directory and sudo mkfs.ext3 -F extra.disk [06:33] So no sound is playing OoRal? It's hard to keep up with the scroll in the room I apologize. [06:33] how do I mount it [06:33] Or just media files inside media players? [06:33] JaseX: Well, sound plays through my browser just fine. [06:33] legend2440: how did you do that? [06:33] jim_p: not entirely. How would I check? [06:34] ianq: in mplayler right click choose pereferences>video then choose driver to use [06:34] hey thank you hate_ball. [06:34] Hmm... that's a problem I haven't encountered in awhile. I actually had that problem back in 6.10... I don't think I ever solved it... just re-installed. [06:34] the sound problem i mean OoRal. [06:34] I don't want to have to reinstall. :\ I just got things how I wanted, JaseX [06:34] OoRal: do you have any other users on the computer? [06:34] ok sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart [06:34] legend2440: let me try to get mplayer [06:35] is the answer . [06:35] sudo mount -o loop /host/ubuntu/disks/extra.disk /vdisk [06:35] :) [06:35] JaseX: Also, I have to roll back my wireless drivers each time if I wanna use wireless security. And no one else uses my computer, but I have another account. [06:35] legend2440: uhm, it appears gray in adept installer. i can't select it? [06:35] OoRal: I know how that feels, getting your stuff laid out the right way, and then having to re-install. [06:35] OoRal: does sound from media play on that account? [06:36] or does it yield the same results? [06:36] !mplayer | ianq [06:36] ianq: mplayer is a media player. It resides in the mutiverse repository and can easily be installed via applications -> add/remove. For codecs try !codecs [06:36] JaseX: I don't know, haven't tried yet. [06:37] has anyone installed Ubuntu on a macbook with bootcamp? [06:37] OoRal: please try that for a moment and let me know the results? [06:38] legend2440: yes, i'm seeing it here but i can't select it [06:38] JaseX: Okie dokies, I'll just finish up what I'm doing [06:38] ok, i'm at this website (http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_get_special_keys_to_work#acpi_fakekey ) reading about acpi_fakekey. I follow most of what he's saying, but I get lost when he uses xev to check something. I don't see what he's doing here and why. anyone want to take a look and try to help me out? [06:38] OoRal: thanks... might be some sort of permissions with something... not sure. [06:39] ezzieyguywuf: xev is adevice to report the key input for a key. [06:39] err not device. [06:39] ezzieyguywuf: program [06:39] JaseX: Hang on a second... my instant messenger just crashed too [06:39] OoRal: alright. === PanzerMKZ_ is now known as PanzerMKZ [06:40] JaseX: I have a feeling that it might be because the two relate to each other [06:40] is there a way to move my wine install to another partition? [06:40] I get that what xev does, but I don't understand why he needs to do that on the website that I refered to [06:40] Hmm, how do you set the default CPU freq-scaling governor in this day and age? [06:40] ezzieyguywuf: to map a specific key to the use of acpi_fakekey [06:40] where is found channel acquaintance ? [06:41] JaseX: Aha! Solved... it was Kopete's fault. [06:41] legend2440: ah, now i can install it. one moment [06:41] ezzieyguywuf: because he is going to map the xev result (keycode 239) to and XF86 key (XF86LaunchA) using /etc/X11/Xmodmap [06:41] Bajoran: You could move .wine/drive_c or all of .wine and make a symlink? [06:41] Banjoran: Yes - you can move your ~/.wine folder to wherever and symlink to it [06:41] like my power key is broken, so I use my hp quickplay key to shutdown. [06:41] hows that [06:41] JaseX: For some reason, Amarok didn't like being referred to before it had loaded. [06:41] Banjoran: This assumes you are the only user using the wine install [06:42] yes [06:42] jjjkkkkkkkkkkkk [06:42] OoRal: what do you mean by that? [06:42] fffffffffffffffffffffffffff [06:42] JaseX: Well, I had the "Now Listening" plugin enabled which specified Amarok [06:43] so in the second script he lists in that section, when acpi_fakekey uses $KEY_MACRO, whats that $KEY_MACRO all about? why does he just put the button he gets from xev right in there? I think i'm having a hard time understanding exaclty what acpi is doing here... [06:43] jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj [06:43] so sudo cp -r '/home//.wine' /vdisk/ ? [06:43] OoRal: and the messenger requested something for it... and crashed due to amarok not being open? [06:43] NickRead: am I doing that correctly? [06:44] JaseX: Well, I'd say so... it could also have requested alsa and been occupying it so that amarok couldn't get access and thus froze when I tried to play music [06:44] oh [06:44] sudo cp -s -r '/home//.wine' '/vdisk/' [06:44] OoRal: are you running 8.04? [06:44] JaseX: Yes'm [06:44] er [06:45] Hmm... strange OoRal. [06:45] legend2440: sweet, it works now. thanks a lot!! [06:45] sudo cp -r '/home//.wine' '/vdisk/' then sudo cp -s '/vdisk/.wine' '/home//' ? [06:45] ianq: your welcome [06:45] ........................ [06:45] ................................ [06:45] Bajoran: ln -s :) [06:46] I think [06:46] :| [06:46] Bajoran: To symlink it right? [06:46] ln < link -s < symbolic [06:46] I'm copying .wine to the partition, assume its in /vdisk/ [06:47] Then all looks good to me in that command Bajoran [06:47] the one I pasted [06:47] ? [06:47] The commands you want to use look right. Bajoran [06:48] I am trying to decide between lenny and ubuntu as a desktop OS [06:48] could someone help me with graphics drivers in winxp on virtualbox under ubuntu? [06:48] xtor_: well that's all opinion... [06:48] hi [06:49] I'm looking for some favourable opinions on using ubuntu here [06:49] nutricycle: what's the issue? [06:49] xtor_: I'd say ubuntu for most stability. [06:49] JaseX: I want to be sure to rm -r /home//.wine after the copy heh [06:49] Lenny gives me lots of issues on my iMac testing box, and my thinkpad a22m xtor_ [06:49] hi is there a performance gain from moving ubuntu from wubi image ito rell partition [06:50] Yes Bajoran or else it won't let you symlink [06:50] other way around [06:50] hi NickRead I really want to ditch windose but still want to play some 3d games under it, how can I get the full power of my graphics card running under a virtual machine [06:50] Remove the directory after copying. [06:50] nutricycle: You're not going to have much luck unfortunately. I'd recommend dual booting if you want to continue playing your 3D games. [06:51] hi is there a performance gain from moving ubuntu from wubi image into real partition [06:51] dr3mro: Yes, but only in disk access times [06:51] my logic tells me this. Bajoran sudo cp -r ~/.wine target && rm -r ~/.wine && sudo ln -s target ~/.wine [06:51] where target is /vdis/ [06:52] s/vdis/vdisk [06:52] is ubuntu better than windows vista? [06:52] Daft_Punk: that's matter of opinion friend. [06:52] NickRead, thanks. is it possible to move the wubi image to another HD? [06:52] Flannel, that mean applications will load faster and system boot faster [06:52] And involves politics. [06:52] dr3mro: Yes [06:52] draft vista is a ram eater [06:52] Flannel: only in disk access times means wont it vary in other factors [06:52] dr3mro: Especially on the boot aspect [06:52] JaseX: How about changing the "rm -r ~/.wine" to "mv ~/.wine ~/.wine_backup" [06:52] but it's true its all matter of opinion [06:52] do you know % ?? [06:53] IMO ubuntu destroys vista... [06:53] dr3mro: nope, sorry. [06:53] Flannel, thanks [06:53] hi, anyone can help me to enable boot log [06:53] That would work NickRead :D thanks. As I said my proposal was based on my logic, but yours is a better move [06:53] Bajoran: what NickRead said. [06:53] googled but no resolution found [06:53] JaseX: Bajoran: Just to be safe :) [06:54] Never can be too safe with rm -r anyways [06:54] especially when implying sudo.

[07:06] no problem raul1 [07:06] no internet connection [07:06] JaseX, i wish it were that easy, i have tried a few things in the custom icon "value" box, like "0" and "none" [07:06] can't find the server to download updates lol [07:06] Serway: [07:06] Make a 0 width 1 height png :D and put it in ~/.icons and set that :) [07:07] Serway, try a path to a pbm? [07:07] Err sorry, png [07:07] how do u hide ubuntu's panels? [07:07] or just a 1x1 blank png... [07:07] ah, nvm [07:07] it's how I do it... [07:07] Not sure how they did it on theirs Serway [07:07] oooo [07:07] sorry. [07:07] that makes sense [07:08] and by blank I mean a plain transparent one. [07:08] let me gimp one up [07:08] Serway: would you like me to... nevermind :p [07:08] Mine has a cute little tree.. reminds me a lot of the SCO logo, amusingly enough.. [07:08] hello...I was playing around with my wireless settings and lost the mac address for my wireless settings...now I have wifi0, eth1-5 and such...is there a way to restore the entire network settings to the defult (all my wireless settings, the madwifi driver, IE make the network aspect of the OS just like it was a fresh install) [07:08] zcat[1]: nice [07:08] Rolaulten: what files were you messing with? [07:09] I was playing around with aircrack [07:09] gNewSense ... pretty similar to ubuntu, except less things work ;) [07:09] and now I am unable to logon to any wireless network [07:09] Rolaulten: I dunno what aircrack is, but if you know what config files you were editing, there is usually a backup made automagically, which would be in the same folder and have the same name followed by a tilde (~) [07:10] anyone here running linux mint? I am, and can't really tell much of a difference from just stanard 'ol ubuntu 'cept for codec support [07:10] JaseX, i made the png, and for the custom_icon value, i placed the location of my icon /home/serway/Pictures/icon.png, and then clicked the "use custom icon" box, but it still shows up as the older one [07:10] Hmm. [07:11] Are you using the menu bar? [07:11] no...I'm not seeing any backups... :( [07:11] Serway, log out and back in? [07:11] is there a way to restore everything to how it was off the live cd? [07:11] Rolaulten: which config files are we talkin about here? [07:11] Serway: if not just goto ~/.icons/ and replace the distributor logo with your logo. [07:11] in your current icon theme [07:11] Rolaulten: do a clean install :-D [07:12] you think thats the most painless? [07:12] ill try logging-in and out, ill brb [07:12] Rolaulten, make a new admin user, then log into that, copy what you want to keep, and delete the old user? [07:13] ok... [07:13] Rolaulten: not really. if you have a lot of stuff configed and don't want to re-config, it'd probably be easier to track down what config files aircrack edited, then search for an original copy of those config files [07:13] anyone know why i cannot set launcher on my awn? [07:13] Rolaulten, probably you can just delete .gnome2 and that will reset most config [07:13] rolaulten: yea! zcats idea sounds great :-D [07:13] both of them do [07:13] i'm gonna ask one last time, then I need to get to bed can someone help me understand the following "acpi_fakekey gets the key numbers for specific events generated as output by scripts in /etc/acpi/ and writes them to the correct input FIFO in /dev/input/eventx. " I understand that it gets a key number, but what does it then do with the key number? what happens after it get written in eventx and what is FIFO? [07:13] unfortuatley the log-in log-out didnt work, ill try changin the icon in the directory [07:14] ezzieyguywuf, "It's black magic. Nobody understands it" ;) [07:14] zcat: haha [07:14] ezziey, i added a launcher [07:14] but it dosn't show up on the bar [07:14] only active windows show :( [07:14] raul1: how did you add the launcher? [07:14] ezzieyguywuf, this channel only handles newb questions.. You might be waiting a while for an answer to yours. [07:15] "Add" [07:15] zcat: where would I go for those sorts of questions? [07:15] launchers tab in Awn manager [07:15] ok, I think I'll go play with a live cd...its my laptop...not much is configured with it as is [07:15] does wine work well these days? [07:15] raul1: try dragging it from the applications menu and dropping it into awn [07:15] ezzieyguywuf, the forums I think tend to handle more in-depth stuff. [07:15] thanks fokes [07:15] nothing happends [07:15] i see the + but it dosn't stick. [07:15] zcat: yea, i'll try that out. I was looking for a more lightning-speed response, lol [07:16] raul1: try restarting awn. Right click-close, then re-open it [07:16] nutricycle: wine is getting better every day. [07:16] will do ezziey [07:16] how to change the language of vim at the text area? langmenu only changes the menu bar..

[07:19] I copied wine over to the partiton then symlinked it to the home directory, but whenever I try to execute a file it complains that I don't have permissions [07:19] Perhaps you'll get a better fix. [07:19] even though i've sudo chmod -R 777 the directories [07:20] wow awn's runs like 00000.1 cpu +recommended o.o [07:21] jasex, i've copied the wine directory over to the /vdisk/ then symlinked it back and it is symlinked into home, but wine complains that I don't have permissions to access any of the stuff whenever I try to run it [07:21] i stopped using compiz cuz it slightly slowed down my comps response time and cuz it killed sleep on my laptop. I'm working on a workaround though :-D [07:21] raul1:i hv internet but i wnat to run all programs installed in my system over there can i? [07:21] Bajoraptor: that's because you moved with sudo [07:21] you would need to save the .deb files [07:21] or bring his pc to your house [07:21] how can i resize with fdisk [07:21] hook the ethernet cable and do it there [07:21] Bajoraptor: try this chmod -R user:user /vdisk/.wine or whatever directory [07:22] sudo chmod* @ Bajoraptor [07:22] raul1:yes i hv saved my packages into my system using apton cd [07:22] how do i recursively look for wma files in nautilus, so that i can convert them in my music folders?

[08:05] aaronwhen i right click it opens the menu with open, cut, copy, etc.. i click properties and theres the icon, wich i can click, but when i do, it just takes me to a window to select a new custom icon, not giving me a clue where the old one is [08:05] _ [08:06] sorry, little mistake here [08:06] because right now the evolutions just see only an attachment "winmail.dat" [08:07] Is there anybody know how to list all of the command which is available? [08:07] Can someone please tell me what is the best dock to use in Gnome? [08:07] aaron_ ? [08:07] * Pulpie goes back to programming his educational program [08:07] pedro: goto ~/.gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers [08:07] or /usr/share/applications [08:07] OH, only question no reply. who can help me [08:07] colt: whats the problem? [08:08] colt: if you mean they're the same, have you made sure one isn't a link? (ls -la) [08:08] pedro, it should give you the path of the icon being used at the top of that window to select a icon [08:08] my feet stink [08:08] Timberwolf5578: I´m not sure but cairo-dock looks pretty neat [08:08] No, i sure [08:09] colt: syslog logs everything switch.log only logs switch the system logs things in switch but also log the whole system the reason they are the same is that switch is the only thing that is logging in the system [08:09] pedro: there are some here /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/gnome-panel-launcher.svg [08:09] aaron_ : no it doesnt and iFvwm : couldnt find it, maybe because i installed it under wine [08:09] source webmin squid [08:09] if i ssh into a machine with no x server, and i use the -X command with ssh and try to bring up a GUI program, will it? [08:09] untermensch: most likely [08:10] NickRead: awesome :D [08:10] pedro: under wine? [08:10] yes [08:10] untermensch: no [08:10] Pulpie: huh? Yeah you can. [08:10] Pulpie: no? :( :( [08:11] NickRead: you need forwarding [08:11] how can i control cpu fans speed? [08:11] pedro, what icon are you looking for? [08:11] Pulpie: That's what -X does - X11 forwarding [08:11] oh wait >.> [08:11] NickRead: oops sorry [08:11] the utorrent one [08:11] untermensch: yes it will, 100% sure [08:11] NickRead: but it wouldn't have an x [08:11] Pulpie: what if the machine i'm sshing into has no x? [08:12] untermensch: still fine [08:12] ssh -X user@server [08:12] pedro: if it appearred on panel. i think you also can found the path, some desktop will hold those infor. [08:12] Bam! [08:12] Pulpie: ok sweet :D [08:12] xclock [08:12] untermensch: the sshd needs to have port forwarding enabled as well through [08:12] NickRead: i didn't know if not having an x installed would be a problem [08:12] Pulpie: what do you mean? [08:12] Hey, guys. Can you recommend me tiwtter client. I've tried gTwitter and Twitux, also a plugin for Pidgin but never liked any of them. [08:12] Is there anybody know how to list all commands which is available in terminal? [08:12] untermensch: the host match should have /etc/ssh/sshd_config [08:12] but where iFvwm? [08:13] <_coredump_> moinsen [08:13] untermensch: that's fine - as Pulpie also said though, ensure you have forwarding enabled on the server. Also, you may get some problems with XAuth (possible, but not likely). [08:13] ooo found a way [08:13] hi all, I'm using ubuntu 8.04 and installed kerberos according to this tutorial http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/kerberos.html, but when I type kinit I receive no tickets, can anyone help me with that ?

[08:14] NickRead: it will most likely be ubuntu server edition [08:14] yeah, got it working [08:14] pedro: i give you 2 directory, one for panel, one for menu. a lot of *.desktop you can find, and use "cat *.desktop|grep utorrent" to find it.

[08:47] bhindi: what does that mean? [08:47] Daft_Punk, nah man, forget to sign it in sometimes, and i dont like it booting upon startup.. [08:47] radovich: how do i go on doing that?

[08:48] brandonmpace: ? [08:48] Right now I am getting by using mplayer's ao / channel options. [08:48] _LiNuX_, guarddog and firestarter are for managing the iptables in linux. avast is a free virus scanner [08:48] anakin_: this is a common problem and I have not found a single solution [08:48] radovich pla [08:49] bluemind: oh, man, it was a loong time ago when i edited kernel... you should recompile, unless there is a good gui tool for enabling module nowadays. like one in sidux [08:49] guess i'll have to go back to my old pci card then. [08:49] How do I know what chipset I have in my mobo? [08:49] _LiNuX_, i think most ppl use firestarter as its more gui friendly [08:49] guys I am getting error Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name when running apache [08:49] bluemind: lol sorry wrong person [08:49] <_LiNuX_> Daft_Punk: i have to do anything else exept instal avast firewall? [08:49] anakin_: I know there's a way somehow [08:49] is there someway to boost the amount of bass on the soundcard in linux. I've tested the alsamixer but it sounds terrible, another way maybe?

[08:52] Joshooa, just to make sure, how do i found out which sound system gnome is using? (System->sound)? [08:52] guys I am getting error Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name when running apache [08:52] yunhual, u can just disable the gdm in the services panel [08:52] _LiNuX_, the only reason you might want a gui to manage iptables (like firestarter) is to manage open ports for certain applications === DBLobster is now known as U09526 [08:52] i also downloaded realtek drivers for the specific model of my sound card (integrated), but no luck with those either [08:52] is there a bash command or something with which i could determine whether or not the problems i'm having in kde and xfce are hardware issues or software issues?

[08:54] no [08:55] bluemind: what is the configuration of that computer? motherboard, chipset, soundcard.. [08:55] is there a better place to go for info on the debmirror command?

For instance I noticed that debian lenny had a newer version of gnome-OSD than regular ubuntu so it got me wondering, does ubuntu also have a "testing" distro?

"apt-cache search mod-ssl" and "apt-cache search apache | grep ssl" gave nothing. Could someone give me the name of that package, perhaps the repository also ... [09:44] ActionParsnip: not the boot splash [09:44] if a Sparcle GeForce 8600 GT 512MB does not work with Ubuntu, does that mean, that an Asus EN8600GT or any other 8600GT card won't work either? [09:44] MonsieurBon: what exactly do you mean by not work? [09:44] MonsieurBon: those cards will work in ubuntu, nvidia works great [09:45] i tried to use the ubuntu livecd on a p3 600 128 ram.. just froze up once it loaded :x [09:45] maybe i try xubuntu? [09:45] nnull: could you restart the x server? [09:45] nnull: on a comp that slow you need the alternate install dvd, unless you add more ram. [09:45] it's clear now ... [09:45] ActionParsnip, nope, even mouse movements where lagged considerably [09:45] brandonmpace, the Sparcle is on the Hardware Blacklist of ubuntuusers.de. It sais, that the system freezes after driver installation. [09:45] nnull: i would for 128mb ram, you could buy an extra 256mb and it'll be fine [09:45] no more extra messege [09:45] MonsieurBon: I have Club 3d 8500 GT and it works fine [09:45] ActionParsnip: it is due to lack of 192 mb of ram [09:46] i'm trying to install 8.04 but when the installer is on the "select and install software" stage, it stops at 90%. how do i get it to continue? [09:46] MonsieurBon: well how old is that article [09:46] chipbuddy: is it plugged into an active internet connection? [09:46] ActionParsnip, brandonmpace ah ok, but if couldnt get more RAM for it do you think installing it and adding some swap could run it? or just not doable without the extra ram? [09:47] brandonmpace yeah. is it downloading updates, but just not telling me? [09:47] here to report a bug! [09:47] nnull: alternate install disc, swap of like a gig [09:47] brandonmpace, last change was 4 days ago. Don't know when that line was added... Generally no problems with nvidia cards? [09:47] I found a ubuntu bug! [09:47] Using Windows Key + tab to scroll through different windows [09:47] brandonmpace, alternate install disc is a DVD iso tho yea? this pc only has CDrom :s [09:47] if you scroll inwards, the screen goes black and stays taht way [09:47] MonsieurBon: yes generally no problems [09:47] chipbuddy: if you disconnect your network connection it'll be fine [09:48] Malformation: compiz? [09:48] yeh [09:48] Compiz [09:48] brandonmpace, ok, thx [09:48] chipbuddy: also note that this is part of the install that takes a bit [09:48] would it be worth running like x11 or a minimal KDE interface on this old PC?

[09:50] MartinCz the console and the shell are two seperate things, you mean you want a terminal ? [09:50] I saw it somewhere and would like it to have. [09:50] MartinCz: ir's possibly just a "skin" or theme for an existing terminal emmulation program [09:51] And what is the difference? [09:51] scroll in really far [09:51] i got a nvidia 8400m gs [09:51] which isnt too bad [09:52] I have hardy heron and gnome... So what would you advice me? Thanks.

[09:55] BuGo_laptop: If I remember reading that correctly.. I dont use kde 8.04 .. but i thought i read it somewhere [09:55] I think i will wait :/ cause i like 7.10 and i heard lots of complains about 8.04. i how 8.10 will do better [09:55] but i can't but wonder who would want to zoom in on the shift switcher that much :) [09:55] Kate5492: then need to be "readable" or "execuatable" by the user thats running the webserver which on ubuntu is "www-data" [09:55] Kate5492: you need to change your folder permission. Try 755 - i.e. the 'other' must be executable [09:56] 8.04 is sloooow compared to 7.10 [09:56] ikonia: is this ok? /dev/sda2 /home/ini ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1 [09:56] brandonmpace, why do you think that is mate? [09:56] BuGo_laptop: each release will have errors, LTS releases are more likley to get fixes/updates for longer [09:56] BuGo_laptop: if they are the options you want [09:56] !lts [09:56] brandonmpace: I suspect thats down to your settings [09:56] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [09:57] ahh 8.04 is LTS yea? and 8.10 isnt? [09:57] nnull: correct [09:57] kkk [09:57] nnull: well you know what happened to vista?

[10:00] brandonmpace: well, yes, it can be as I've just said nvidia/ati drivers that where packaged where have had problems [10:00] bunnyto: what does that matter ? [10:00] maybe we can date... so i can honor my debt to you [10:01] hey ..if i make this current ubuntu desktop to have a static ip would my torrent download go faster ? as of now .. its real slow,... and suddenly goes idle ? [10:01] bunnyto: I think we'll let that slide [10:01] how can i check with apt if a package is installed? [10:01] I think I will need more help with the pull-down terminal :( [10:01] am talking about the transmissions program [10:01] Cheeky: that does not affect torrents [10:01] MartinCz: install yakuake [10:01] why does KINO have to make every .avi video into a massively heavy .DV file before it can be edited? i am a big fan of ubuntu, but on multimedia, i hate to admit, ubuntu still sucks even compared to the MSFT options. is there any hope of this situation improving in the near future? [10:01] or tilda [10:01] Cheeky: Do you have a router your connecting to? [10:01] MartinCz: or tilda [10:01] :) [10:02] i'll have a look, thanks [10:02] Cheeky: It could be that your traffic is just trickling though.. maybe you need to port forward your traffic [10:02] ikonia, thans for the support :) [10:02] MartinCz: tilda is gnome based [10:02] i want to check is "xinetd" is installed with apt [10:02] BuGo_laptop: welcome [10:03] is there a deb for inkscape 0.47?

[10:04] i'm running Hardy, the controller is USB, but it's plugged into USB2 [10:04] nooe [10:04] nope [10:04] brandonmpace i'll look at it, thanks. [10:04] i even tried vlc [10:04] aj_: It could be you have also muted or you have the wrong device selected.. did you look in your sound settings [10:04] aj_: ok, run lspci and give us the ONLY line relating to your audio device [10:04] aj_, did you run basic troubleshooting? you're sure it's plugged in right, speakers have volume turned up, etc? [10:04] yay for xchat-gnome's stupid default settings [10:04] djlotis: ok .. maybe so i assigned a port under preferences and the port was open but still slow; how would i port forward in ubuntu .. have never port fortwared anything before and i just got a router installed [10:04] mistform: is it compatible with linux? [10:04] the volume is maximum [10:05] sup [10:05] Question: I noticed Mint comes with pulseaudio is 8.10 going to come with the pulse server ?? [10:05] ActionParsnip, yeah, but that was another install. i need to figure out how to mount it and use it for a playstation emulator [10:05] Cheeky: port forwarding is done on the router [10:05] pcsx [10:05] u port forwrd on ur router, not on ur linux box [10:05] djlotis: yes [10:05] Cheeky: oops i just saw your post.. Yes you would do it from the router..

[10:06] djlotis: 8.04 has it [10:06] mistform: what is the make and model? [10:06] cheeky ill get the guide for u [10:06] brandonmpace: I had to install it seperatly to get my sound to work.. hmm [10:06] What do I need to install to run "named-xfer" ? [10:06] Cheeky: Do you know how to log in to your router? [10:06] Milos: bind [10:06] http://freewarefool.blogspot.com/2008/06/in-this-picture-by-picture-tutorial-i.html [10:06] ActionParsnip: ATI TECHNOLOGIES INC SBx00 Azalia [10:06] Malformation: is it that port forwarding site .. for all connections .

I bought it at wal-mart for $4 on clearance (unopened). it's worked before [10:07] Cheeky: Great, do that and look around for something that says port forwarding or virtual servers [10:07] cheeky, look at my guide and tell me if it helped you or not [10:07] ActionParsnip, I already tried.

[10:07] ikonia: I already did! [10:08] brandonmpace: yah .. well my sound worked but not with flash.. I had to install pulseaudio and use some work around that passes the flash sound to the pulse server or something [10:08] josh__: wine [10:08] Milos: great [10:08] why do u wanna play WoW on ubuntu? [10:08] ActionParsnip, it's a Gameon "Universal USB Convertor" model: FT8D91. copyright 2006, Futime [10:08] josh__: and your gfx driver [10:08] Malformation: Well, I us Ubuntu, and I play WoW, that's why [10:09] brandonmpace: Does the mini ubuntu come with X at all though?

[10:10] ActionParsnip, it seems to be working in ZSNES, but where is it mounted so I can tell PCSX [10:10] Malformation: Yes? [10:10] Cheeky: Make sure you forward the port that your torrent client is using, and make sure you know your ip address your forwarding it to. It goes something like this: The router will open port say .. 1500 and pass it on to your computer ip address (192.168.1.51) and of course your machine must allow traffic on that port. It sure helps to have a static IP so that you always forward to the right place [10:11] djlotis: it´s in synaptic just search flash and look for flash sound support or something like that [10:11] brandonmpace: Oh really? Well mine works now so its not a big deal [10:11] brandonmpace: You think they might have it packaged with Ibex? [10:11] mistform: probably /dev/joy0 [10:12] djlotis: yes most likely [10:12] brandonmpace: I mean you think that flash is a fairly important package to have .. and with that sound to be functioning out of the gate too.

I mean.. I can mount them from terminal [10:41] but I don't understand why this happens sometimes. and why sometimes It just works [10:41] everytime I boot I have to do it from the terminal. [10:41] Lanlost: you could add the device to your fstab [10:41] Right.. I could [10:41] but I want to know what is making it do this [10:41] pabl0: Yes, I m able to mount it without the cred file, username and password in fstab [10:41] Lanlost: then sudo mount -a will mount it [10:41] I shouldn't have to hack a work around [10:41] .. I can mount it from the terminal already [10:42] The option is there to just right click -> mount volume.. or just simply double click [10:42] lastman, well then there is something wring with the file [10:42] did you check the perms ? [10:42] I don't understand what permissions are beig changed that won't allow it to work [10:42] regardless.. that's not the main problem [10:42] ActionParsnip: it's tricky, imported a folder into it before i had any media in my ubuntu partition...so i mounted my winxp partition and imported the my music folder and now everytime i got rhythmbox open and i mount the windows partition it automatically duplicates every song (1 from the ubuntu partition and 1 from windows) [10:43] the thing that is giving me the panic attack is that I have a USB external hard drive that... for some odd reason won't mount anything except read only [10:43] Lanlost: ive always done it that way so i cant personally advise, editing fstab is not a hack, it just ensures its automounted [10:43] I'm doing sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/My\ Book/ -t vfat -o rw [10:43] is there something wrong iwht that? [10:43] you are misunderstanding me man.. [10:43] when I say fstab is a hack.. I mean in the sense that it is not the way that this should be working [10:44] so even though the fstab method is probably a better way to go anyway.. in this case things aren't working as they should [10:44] Before ubuntu.. I always used fstab and/or mounted manually from terminal. [10:44] pabl0: The permission is 644 and owner is root.root. I tried to mount it as root [10:44] It works sometimes.. the question is. why not always? I can't figure out what 'permissions' are not correct [10:44] regardless.. what I need is to write to my USB hard drive.. [10:45] was there something wrong with that command I pasted or should that do the trick? I never had to specify rw [10:45] sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/My\ Book/ -t vfat -o rw [10:45] lastman, include the x bit, also what's the location of the file , i'm using /root/.smbcredentials [10:45] and yes.. it is fat32 [10:45] Lanlost: then ive no diea, ive alwas fstabbed stuff. automount has never worked for me and im glad as if I dont want it mounted it isnt, control is good [10:45] uh.. [10:45] Action.. [10:45] Lanlost: then you need to mount it as the user - not root, as fat32 doesn't support permissions [10:45] Hi all. I need little help... [10:45] It doesn't auto mount.. [10:45] It never has.. [10:45] Lanlost: if you dont specify rw then it will be owned by root and only root can write [10:45] it only mounts when you click on the drive [10:46] it's not auto mounted on boot [10:46] this works by mounting only when you select the drive and either double click on it or right click -> mount volume [10:46] pabl0: Location is /etc/cred_domain -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 38 2008-09-22 11:42 /etc/cred_domain [10:46] <_LiNuX_> how can do force quit manually? [10:46] All it does is the equivilent of mounting the drive from the terminal.. just automatically.. but only when you do it [10:46] Thus.. I have as much control as you do [10:46] when it works that is.. [10:46] lastman, try chmod 700 /etc/cred_domain [10:46] How can i install Ubuntu on external HDD? [10:46] which was .. always... until a reboot [10:47] ok.. so how do I do -o rw type command that allows anyone..not just root to read/write? [10:47] Lanlost: automount means its mounted automatically, thats less control to me [10:47] ITS NOT AUTO MOUNTING [10:47] Lanlost: you'll need to add some UIDs [10:47] Never once have I said I am using any sort of auto mount [10:48] When you say auto mount.. you mean that it mounts automatically on boot right? [10:48] thats the only type of 'auto mounting' I've ever heard of anyone wanting/using [10:48] Lanlost: auto mount can mean when you browse the device it mounts auto for you [10:48] Lanlost: no, as soon as the device is connected its there and accessible [10:48] Lanlost: automounting is not only boot [10:48] Ok.. well how does that give you less control [10:48] maybe a boot mount he wants? [10:48] Lanlost: i want to mount it when im good and ready [10:48] System > Preferences > Sessions [10:48] ActionParsnip.. That's not how it works [10:48] from the build of Ubuntu I have at least [10:48] when I connect the drive.. it is NOT accessable [10:49] Lanlost: ok - so thats auto mounting [10:49] until I click on the drive and right click -> mount volume [10:49] Lanlost: anyways you'll need to add some access IDs to allows users to write to it [10:49] ... [10:49] Alright.. thanks [10:49] god only knows how shit like this breaks for no reason all of a suddon [10:50] Lanlost: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=198614 [10:50] Id like to say user error [10:50] i all, can anyone tell me how to use .k5login to login without password ?

[11:49] dkjahjkajfhs: try a bios update, you wont be able to boot from usb if your bios doesnt support it [11:50] if "ufw" is not loaded, is there another program which can disable port "514" by an default installation? or is this a firewall in the network? [11:50] dkjahjkajfhs: you could boot from floppy disk to bootstrap the usb to boot [11:50] ActionParsnip: i don't want to use floppy disk :C i'll try to update my BIOS [11:51] ActionParsnip: thanks [11:51] cc0: bitchx was removed from the repos for hardy because it is no longer being developed. irssi is recommended as a replacement: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-motu/2007-November/002726.html [11:51] Hi all. [11:51] dkjahjkajfhs: if you cant boot from bios, ten you'll have to [11:51] dkjahjkajfhs: its just to load the bootloader, aftr that its usb drive all the way [11:51] !info irssi | cc0 [11:51] cc0: irssi (source: irssi): terminal based IRC client.

[11:52] Can somebody explain how i would go about setting up my SHELL to be color coded, meaning that if i vi a file for example its broken down into different colors depending on the script, or is i ls -l directories and coloured differently to files, im ssh into my ubuntu server, right no it looks very bland - thanks! [11:52] dkjahjkajfhs: yes everytime you boot [11:52] ActionParsnip: :( [11:52] dkjahjkajfhs: its your hardware limiting you [11:53] dkjahjkajfhs: not all boards support usb booting [11:53] Dyllan: thats normally setup by default with things like /etc/dircolors [11:53] curl -vF 'j_username=admin&j_password=adminadmin' http://localhost:5858/j_security_check?loginButton=Login [11:53] ActionParsnip: ya, my laptop is old one :} [11:53] wgy it doesnt loginto my page [11:53] why [11:53] Dyllan: you need to make sure you login with a loging shell so your bashrc and the like are sourced [11:53] dkjahjkajfhs: thats why [11:53] ActionParsnip: i know [11:53] dkjahjkajfhs: they may have kicked out a bios that does, if not its floppy for you [11:54] Dyllan, if you vi a file, the colouring is a function of vi, not the shell. Try ":syntax on" inside vi [11:54] ActionParsnip: okay, but first i'll try to upgrade my bios and if that did't work i'll use the fdd [11:54] ikonia; ok, i think i follow, i use putty at the moment to ssh in, my gentoo server is all color but ubuntu not, so you saying i have to edit bashrc and dircolors to get what i want? [11:54] dkjahjkajfhs: make sure its the right bios or your system will never boot [11:54] dkjahjkajfhs: i once had an old compaq laptop that wouldn't even boot from the CD [11:55] LOL!

Is there a chance that thumbnails or histories of used files are stored outside of my home folder (since only my home folder is encrypted and I don't want to be every history of file names or thumbnails to be either encrypted or deleted)?

[11:57] athleone: thats just one app, you could make a script to run the game and take an argument of the path to the rom [11:57] I mean just as a temporary fix. Sorry. I fell asleep [11:57] Tidus: you can easily circumvent that by simply taking out the HDD and use proper hardware. Setting permissions won't protect. [11:57] btw.. where did ActionParsnip come from? [11:57] athleone: i wouldnt dislike a whole operating system because a single app was giving me grief [11:57] Lanlost: uk ;) === Lanlost is now known as InactiveRhubarb [11:57] uk?

[12:09] Corrupt: ps uax [12:09] ghaleb_: which is? === dkjahjkajfhs is now known as Pix`afk [12:10] Pajamian: what? [12:10] Corrupt: you wanted a command to show everything that is running?

Kind of what commands are running though the kernel [12:12] Corrupt: ps -ef will show that [12:12] Corrupt: you mean you want the program to spit out a line whenever a process is started and spit out another line when one ends? I don't know of such a program off the top of my head. [12:13] ghaleb_: did you install the build dependancies for freeradius? [12:13] ghaleb_: from what I can tell you are missing a package, not sure what though. Go ask in the programs respective channel === pen_ is now known as pen [12:13] pajamian: yes [12:14] ghaleb_: then you're probably missing some other package that is not in the normal build dependancies. [12:14] Ziroday: openssl, I installed it [12:15] Would anyone have an idea why i cannot access /va/log/squid/access.log using sudo? It wont even let me 'cd' into the directory, the DIR is owned by proxy:proxy - thanks [12:15] pajamian: Ziroday : please follow this link http://www.backports.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=478804 [12:15] Dyllan: add your username to the proxy group [12:15] pajamian: Yeah, so if i have a terminal open and i open up firefox by clicking on the icon, the terminal will display a line with the command line equivalent to open firefox [12:17] Pajamian: and when anything happens basically, so if firefox opens a port, and command line equivilate is shown, or prehaps mirc / torrent application / openoffice etc [12:17] ActionParsnip, great, thanks very much. [12:17] Corrupt: you could make a script for each app to first echo to the terminal, then execute the app [12:18] ActionParsnip: arh no i cant. I only know the basics of command line. [12:18] Corrupt: the only thing I can think of would be a script that polls the ps command and displays a diff from the last one.

[12:23] im on the vista install right now [12:23] Pici: yeah kind of, but i have no idea how to use it. How do i echo these applications that was mentioned before [12:23] remu: id use ndiswrapper + xp driver if you are using broadcom [12:23] yes it does have an ethernet port on it, but i dont have access to ethernet till i get home (like another 10 hours) [12:23] remu: both i think [12:24] actionparsnip: i got the link for ndiswrapper on rapidshare but is not working suggest some other link [12:24] remu: is the vista box different from the box with ubuntu, or is it the same computer?

[12:25] alex_j: even I have the same problem in Hardy, I have been reporting it since the Hardy release, but in vain, I am fedup with Ubuntu these days [12:25] remu: or you could download to your windows partition then copy over to linux [12:25] ActionPArsnip: plz give me the link [12:25] yea, thats what i was thinking [12:25] i gotta download the whole iso eh? [12:25] !ndiswrapper | dinesh_ [12:25] dinesh_: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [12:25] remu: no just the build-essential deb file [12:25] lol [12:25] thats what i was after [12:25] didnt know where to look for it [12:25] i rebuild my xchat ,and it seems run more fater ... [12:26] remu: you can download individual packages and use dpkg to install them, but you have to know all the right dependancies, etc. [12:26] did a google search, but that wasnt too helpful....or maybe its too early in the morning [12:26] remu: www.google.com or www.ask.com are my recommendations [12:26] jlime [12:26] well, i went to http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/build-essential [12:26] that lists the dependencies, but i take it that each of those things will probablly link to more [12:26] remu: possibly [12:27] ActionParsnip: i ownloaded the broadcom driver but the size of the file is just 195kb so, i am not sure is it full file or not [12:27] remu: you on 64bit or 32bit? [12:27] 64bit [12:27] I went to http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/build-essential [12:27] remu: if you download it and try to install them dpkg will tell you what is missing. You can do it that way, it may take a few tries, though. [12:27] dinesh_: as long as its the xp driver its fine [12:27] at the bottom, I clicked "amd64" and clicked on a server, and downloaded the deb [12:28] I take it I will need to download the debs for the dependencies as well/ [12:28] ActionParsnip: i am using windows vista [12:28] remu: those you don't already have installed, yes. [12:28] hmmm, alright [12:28] ActionParsnip, does his nic count as a bcm43xx? [12:28] and what command should I use? [12:28] remu: to install? [12:29] remu: sudo dpkg -i filename [12:29] mistform: no idea [12:29] it might be easier for me to download the iso of ubuntu, mount it, and then use that as a repo....build essential is on the install disc, correct?

[12:41] indeed [12:41] I guess it would be a security risk any othe rway [12:41] or you could sudo run the script to grant access to the whole thing [12:41] I was just hoping to have this be automatically ran [12:42] actually.. the program it will be ran from requires root access to run in the first place [12:42] http://paste.ubuntu.com/49262/ [12:42] if the program that calls the script is ran from root.. will it automatically have root access?

The rendering is being done by Mesa. How do I remove the Mesa and let ATi do the rendering? I have looked at CCHTML wiki and it said to remove xserver-xgl, well it isn't installed. any thoughts? [13:23] ionstorm66, check this out. http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Xorg_RandR_1.2 There is even some extra info for radeon 7000's with only a small amount of memory [13:23] odd behavior, downloading a torrent with transmission, only connected to 6 peers, only 6 peers available, and 94.4%. Installed Azerus 300+ in swarm, with 10 seeds, 100% available. Is Transmission really that bad of a Torrent client? [13:23] chazco: is it encrypted? [13:24] ActionParsnip - I imagine so, but never had any issues with playing other DVDs, or even other chapters/features on this disc... [13:25] chazco: [13:25] brb reboot [13:25] chazco: is the one thats playing up encypted [13:26] chazco: does it work in other players [13:26] ActionParsnip - I think so, but other parts of it play fine... it seems to be an issue with audio, because when i tried to rip it it doesnt work... Tried gxine, same issue. [13:26] jim_p, do you know, how i can change the resolution of the login window? somehow it uses one which is different from the resolution of the desktop [13:27] the login window won't show on the other monitor [13:27] rdz: do you have a crt or a tft? [13:27] ActionParsnip - Hmm... oddly enough it works if i change the audio track to the commentary / another language... [13:27] rdz: make the leftmost resolution in xorg.conf be the one you want to use [13:27] ionstorm66: card isn't specified on ati-hp but runs with the catalyst-driver [13:27] what other monitor? [13:27] chazco: maybe a bad disk [13:28] Hello! Where can I find the libX11.so API? [13:28] why do i have so damn many modules running at once? [13:28] jim_p, tft [13:28] ActionParsnip - Maybe, but it plays on a standalone dvd player [13:29] ActionParsnip, there are no resolutions at all in xorg.conf [13:29] DasEi1, That would be highly unlikely as the catalyst driver for Linux does not support the Radeon 7000 that ionstorm66 has [13:29] rdz: you must set only one resolution in xorg.conf so as to force its usege. and that resolution must be your tst's native resolution like 1280*1024 [13:29] ActionParsnip, actually i don't know even how those things are handled nowadays.. [13:29] jim_p, there is no res at all in xorg.conf [13:29] :| [13:30] jim_p, the Section "Monitor" has only an identifier [13:30] rdz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=642192&page=2 [13:30] rdz: then you need to configure it properly [13:30] however, at least it works so far, that i have a picture at all [13:30] philippe: just found a thread saying the opposite (tested) (german:)http://3dfusion.de/forum/showthread.php?t=10562 [13:30] when logged in only, of course [13:30] anyone know how to remove mesa so ATi can do direct rendering? [13:31] KDB9000: x will default to mesa if your real drive fails to load, for whatever reason [13:31] jim_p, that's easy said, when i don't have a clue at all, how everythings works together.. on my personal box, i don't know what the resolution settings are affecing. they don't seem to correlate with what i actually can set [13:31] ionstorm66: want a link for catalyst 5.4 ? [13:31] DasEil: That's for XP... Das hier ist der richtige Treiber (ATI Catalyst 5.4 für WindowsXP). [13:32] DasEi1, it's useless for ubuntu [13:32] Frogzoo, any thoughts on how to fix this? I have already reinstalled my ATi drivers.

[13:38] ikonia thats what I tought I would do, but there are several [13:38] MSI-Wind: so pick the one you want/need [13:38] thats why I wondered if the java-common is the one to install [13:38] MSI-Wind: You probably want sun-java6-jre, and sun-java6-plugin if you want java-plugin for firefox [13:39] MSI-Wind: java-common only contains common files for java.

Is Time Trex the best that Open Source has to offer in this department? [13:46] legend2440, E: Package restricted-manager has no installation candidate [13:46] JackWinter: it's the truth, your asking questions that they are the answer to [13:47] can i stop my mouse pad from responding when i'm typing ? [13:47] JackWinter: look at the kit you want to use, then research pros/cons against the current linux kernel/tools that you are using - not what the latest is [13:47] Hey! Need help with keyboard, what layout i should choose. I would like to get char ~ with clicking one key, currently it is Shift and that key in the left corner. [13:47] ikonia: well i'm still wondering what cordless desktops people here are happy with ? [13:47] JackWinter: it doesn't matter - it matters what you wants [13:47] legend2440, nevermind [13:47] ikonia: that is what i'm trying to do :) [13:47] JackWinter: I'm happy with my wirless that only lasts 2 days [13:48] JackWinter: so look at what YOU want, not what other people want [13:48] anyone? [13:48] artti:backup xorg, run : sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a [13:48] ikonia: yeah, you get a 2 day battery life from your desktop ? don't think that would suit me [13:48] nnull: saying anyone is pointless, if someone didn't see your questions saying "anyone" won't let them see it, if someone doesn't know the answer to your question saying "anyone" won't make thenm remember [13:48] DasEil, but what layout? [13:48] geirha, yes, I can connect to it from XP no problem. [13:48] JackWinter: exactly, [13:49] JackWinter: look at the models you want to use tna research their supportability [13:49] legend2440, how do I remove the ati drivers that i installed from the site? [13:49] ikonia: so i should keep spamming the message or? [13:49] nnull: you should ask the question, wait 15-ish minutes, ask again if no-one responds [13:49] ikonia: me i want a basic cordless keyboard and mouse. if extra features like mm keys works that is a plus. if battery life is 2 days that would be a frag for me... [13:49] xomp: Ok, what happens when you try to connect with the remote desktop viewer then? [13:49] artti:location ? your keyboard ? its mostly pc 105 nodeadkeys [13:50] JackWinter: my logitech's have lasted me well over 6 months, my microsoft ones are just shy of 9 months at the moment [13:50] KDB9000: you installed them from deb file you made right? [13:50] DasEil, i have that, but i get ~ after i hit two keys, but i'd like to get it with one key. [13:50] ikonia: so which logitech are you using ? [13:50] legend2440, yes [13:50] di-novo's and the generic bottom of the line [13:51] JackWinter: but both use the same driver - so I fail so see how your "2 weeks under linux" comments are true [13:51] hello [13:51] where to get ZoneMinder? [13:51] ikonia: that is what i'm wondering too. but it came up searching the ubuntu forums... [13:51] Hi! Can i change Totem or gstreamer's default video sink somewhere? [13:51] JackWinter: doesn't make it fact [13:51] KDB9000: open synaptic then open file>history then todays date you should see everything you installed. you can then uninstall them [13:51] Abed: zoneminder.com [13:52] ikonia: i know, thus my question here :) [13:52] JackWinter: well, my answer has just contradicted the forums, so it's up to you how you proceed [13:52] ikonia: thanks, that's a more useful answer to me :) [13:53] I got this when I ran lsusb -v : ** UNRECOGNIZED: 07 21 07 88 13 ff 03 [13:53] legend2440, ok, what about my error i get at started up about dkms? === tom_ is now known as Tots [13:55] KDB9000: is this the error? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dkms/+bug/250757 [13:55] Ubuntu bug 250757 in dkms "Old dkms modules are not removed when upgrading fglrx" [Undecided,Fix released] [13:55] geirha, it says (after a very long time) that the connection was closed.

[15:03] no [15:03] lanoxx, it's likely that the skype repo doesn't have a 64bit build - but then again, the skype howto tells you what to do if you need a 64bit version.

[15:17] unop, thanks it works :D [15:17] It soppost to have the drivers... is linux no? [15:17] weboide: if its ext3 then the journal takes up some space [15:17] hello everyone, the firebird2.0-super keep failing all the times, although I did not install it [15:17] is there anyway to get rid of it? [15:17] tonno: not for display, what grahics card do you have? [15:17] opt1k: That's not spam. It usually means that you've deleted a buddy from your local list and the one on MSN's servers is now out of sync. [15:17] unop, do you have some links of tutorials about these redirections? [15:18] Chousuke: ActionParsnip: oh okay, it's taking a lot =? [15:18] weboide: i think it hides the 5% thet ext3 reserves for its mantnance [15:18] x[trick]x: there is also a small distrib I found at fluxbuntu.org I have better luck with the ubuntulite... just a little more work on install [15:18] tinh: sudo aptitude purge [15:18] weboide: 429 + 7.5 + 0.05*460 = 460 [15:18] weboide: i believe 5-10% is normal [15:18] Understood, thank you very much : ))) [15:18] porcodildo, ask the guys in #bash - they have a good set [15:18] that's the space reserved for root though, not the journal [15:18] weboide: 5% per cent on all file systems is reserved for superuser [15:18] ok [15:18] you can tune it [15:18] weboide, what filesystem is the volume formatted as? [15:18] make it 0.5% or something :) [15:19] maszlo: its better to install ubuntu, then install fluxbox as fluxbuntu isnt official [15:19] unop: ext3 [15:19] hope this one will not give me a hard time installing [15:19] Chousuke: do you know the command? i have looked everywhere for it [15:19] wish me luck dude [15:19] hehehe [15:19] bobertdos: it is spam, i haven't deleted a buddy in a year [15:19] jim_p-busy: wait a moment [15:19] weboide, yea, 5% of the space is reserved for superuser blocks [15:19] Sk8rdude, thanks alot [15:19] tonno: what graphics card do you have? [15:19] unop: good thing to know, i wasn't aware of that =P [15:19] bobertdos: it started when i logged in from actual msn on my college computer, and got home and now i have all this windows pop up every time i start pidgin [15:19] weboide, 5% of 460 is about 23 - which makes sense [15:19] tune2fs -m PERCENTAGE /dev/disk [15:19] maszlo:im using fluxbox and its really great [15:20] thiebaude: me too, its sweet and slick [15:20] it's not good to make it 0 though [15:20] unop: you're right [15:20] Chousuke: thanks. can percentage be below 1%? [15:20] does ubuntu offer xfce desktop enviornment? [15:20] jim_p-busy: not sure [15:20] jim_p-busy: probably you can sacrifice 1% of space :) [15:20] o0Chris0o: xubuntu ? [15:20] actionparsnip:yea i remmember p: [15:20] o0Chris0o: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [15:20] ahh [15:20] btw, what would be the reason for poor transfer speeds on msn protocol when using every other im except msn live? [15:20] thought that was it [15:20] Chousuke: i can give it 1% but surely not 5% [15:21] yeah [15:21] o0Chris0o: id suggest fluxbox over xfce but thats my 2p worth [15:21] thiebaude: what was the window manager that was in fluxbox? [15:21] fluxbox is too clean ;D [15:21] opt1k: Well, that probably did throw your two lists out of sync. I would perhaps clear out Pidgin's list and let it rebuild itself from the server side. [15:21] Chousuke: and i know that it can be set through the altetnative installer, but when i found it, it was late [15:21] o0Chris0o: xfce isnt much more [15:21] jim_p-busy: you can try and see if it accepts 0.5 or something [15:21] maszlo, fluxbox is the window manager [15:21] Chousuke: ok, thanks [15:21] bobertdos: so you're suggesting that i purge my pidgin list? [15:22] ahh that's why I was confused.. I ended up using openbox [15:22] kubuntu + fluxbox == winner [15:22] actionparsnip:8.04 uses alot of memory, but fluxbox doesn't use much [15:22] When i try to ftp netinstall Ubuntu 8.04 I keep getting "Downloading a file failed". Ive tried 4 mirrors and also ftp.ubuntu.com fails. If i switch with alt+f4 I see "DEBUG: resolver (libnewt0.52): package doesn't exist" also same line for efi-modules [15:22] opt1k: Well, the MSN portion at least. MSN seems to be the only protocol where this is a problem. [15:22] thiebaude, 8.04 isn't a window manager :) [15:22] is this a error on the ftp servers I need to report somewhere ? [15:22] simNIX: can you ping websites from the system? [15:23] hmm, interesting [15:23] how do i find out what 'cards' i'm using to use for the --with-cards option for ./configure for alsa? [15:23] unop:yup i know [15:23] it's possible to put the ext3 journal on a separate disk :) [15:23] bobertdos: kk, i'll try, i just remove that the contacts will stay on the server :D [15:23] !lamp [15:23] 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+) [15:23] might be nice to put it on flash or something [15:23] thiebaude, so your comparison doesn't make much sense :) [15:23] unop:when i use ubuntu 8.04 as opposed to fluxbox [15:23] unpo;it sure does [15:24] ActionParsnip, yes -> also other packages before these are grabed ok [15:24] thiebaude, i think you mean to say gnome there instead of "ubuntu 8.04" [15:24] simNIX: maybe it just burped, try again. Its ok from here [15:24] * ActionParsnip agrees with unop [15:24] thiebaude, 8.04 is the version of ubuntu - irrespective of the window manager . in other words, you can run fluxbox on ubuntu 8.04 [15:24] unop:well yea gnome [15:24] I pxe boot the setup - maybe mine is old ?

[16:07] maszlo: yes i'm up to date. here is the syslog, please check this one out: http://pastebin.com/m7c87fcb7 [16:07] unop: Yes [16:07] legend2440: yes, but I didn't reboot when adding Option "Composite" to xorg.conf (just restarted X) [16:07] mftom HAs it always had issues or is this something recent [16:07] baudthief: that should be all you need to do [16:08] <^Someone^> No, unop [16:08] weird o_O [16:08] it always has. but im new to linux so i only had this on here a few months [16:08] Jack_Sparrow: fuse mount failed device or resource busy FUSE mount point creation failed Unmounting /dev/hda1 () [16:08] <^Someone^> I can log in using the terminal session though [16:08] <^Someone^> But nothing else [16:08] maszlo and jack sparrow: please check the syslog out: http://pastebin.com/m7c87fcb7 [16:08] sorry its so long, not sure what to paste but it happened last night [16:08] ^Someone^: create a new user and check if it happens with that user too [16:08] patrik, I guess you could install vnc or something like it in the ssh session - then connect via VNC ? [16:08] mftom I did.. Try running with acpi=off [16:09] why doesn't the ubuntu build of mplayer play mkv files? [16:09] mftom: what time last night.. you have any clue? [16:09] <^Someone^> I did, it does, erUSUL [16:09] xomp: patent problems? [16:09] erUSUL, I don't understand? [16:09] hello from the ubuntu certified professional class in atlanta! [16:09] <^Someone^> I also tried the recovery-mode boot and tried fixing broken packages [16:09] baudthief: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=853377&page=5 [16:09] maszlo: around 11:30-12 [16:09] <^Someone^> And also tried apt-get -f install [16:09] erUSUL: hahah with matroska? [16:09] patrik, or if you are using ssh from a linux/unix client to access your machine - you could do something like ssh -X user@otherhost 'sudo gdmsetup' [16:10] mftom # To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" on a live cd and see if the problem remains [16:10] unop: Ok, and enable xdmcp? [16:10] xomp: mkv may be using patented technology so ubuntu does not distribute it [16:10] I am trying to install vhcs2 and I get: http://pastebin.com/m23c2e994, I have tried the fix of the community docs to set keysize to 32, it still gives the same error... even tried with 56... [16:10] erUSUL, is there a way to check if my mkv is using such patented technology? [16:11] patrik, right - that would be the idea with gdmsetup - but it's probably much more efficient to use VNC rather than XDMCP over the internet [16:11] mftom: it looks like gdm got screwy.. that is what manages the x session you in [16:11] if i wish to write 64-bit programs on my laptop, i'd need a 64-bit install, right? [16:11] (of an operating system, that is) [16:11] Why am i getting this? http://sonof.bandit.name/files/fgl_fail.png [16:12] unop: yes, there's no compression on xdmcp right? But can I connect the vnc server to an already running session? [16:12] mftom: ctrl +alt+bkspc should fix this.. can't really tell what caused it though.. [16:12] cached, not necessary - you only need a 64bit OS to _run_ those programs [16:12] lol cached, prolly be a good idea dude :P [16:12] jack_sparrow: i dont know if i understand that but i'll try...what does it do? [16:12] Hi, I am messing around with lighttpd. I install it via aptitude. Messed up some confi stuff so I uninstall it via aptitude. It did not seem to remove all of the files. So I removed them myself. Now when I install lighttpd it does not create the default config file or init.d script. [16:12] Any suggestion? [16:12] unop, nnull: thanks [16:12] issya try apt-get purge lighthttpd [16:13] or whatever the package is [16:13] patrik, errm - i'm not sure about an already running session - but you can set it up for future sessions (i.e. resume) [16:13] <[T]ank> so i have a new laptop from work. it is the lenovo t61. I installed the ubuntu 64 bit version and am setting up my intel pro wireless 4965 using ndiswrapper. i have the driver installed, but iwconfig does not show my device. what do I need to do now? [16:13] PURGE removes it and its configuration [16:13] mftom JUst a way of testing your system. Since you said it does it all the time. Running livecd with those options to see if the problem goes away [16:13] i'm assuming there's no way to turn a 32-bit install into a 64 bit install? ;) [16:13] Where would I disable auto-adding evolution to top gnome menu bar. [16:13] cached, you assumed right [16:13] cached no [16:13] Thanks indora, I will try that. I knew there would be something out there like that. [16:13] :( [16:13] indrora* [16:13] okay, now I am getting: http://pastebin.com/m4194d759 [16:14] no problem issya [16:14] g [16:14] What's everyone up to? [16:14] erUSUL, nevermind heh, I re-muxed the files with mkvtools :) [16:14] jack_sparrow: i pressed f6 on startup n nothing happened [16:14] That did the trick, thanks again indrora [16:14] Ive got a trouble with my pc.do u knw hw to repair a problem on booting.After ive installed ubuntu studio my pc sometimesfreezes/ hang when booting [16:14] mftom At the first prompt on a livecd session? [16:14] <[T]ank> any ideas on the ndiswrapper for the wireless card? [16:15] cached, not officially anyway. you could install a 64bit ubuntu and port your package states, configuration files, etc over - but you have to be prepared for surprises [16:15] bazhang I can' t do what ActionParsnip sent me to :( [16:15] what is livecd? all i did was restart and press f6 [16:15] unop: It should be possible since you can just go into the system menu and enable desktop sharing. But how to do it from the console is a bit of a mystery. But I'll check around. Perhaps I can edit som config files and make it work. Thanks for your help! [16:15] mftom that is not at all what I asked you to do [16:15] if i have a folder i want to create a shortcut for in another directory how should it look? ln -s folder1 directory ? [16:16] unop: it'd probably be easier that way... i just don't really want to partition my hard disk for another installation [16:16] bazhang, I can' t do what ActionParsnip sent me to :( [16:16] jack_sparrow: i tried to restart and press f6. i was then going to remove quiet and splash but nothing happened when i did that [16:16] unop: (by that way, i mean install from scratch) [16:16] patrik, not that i have ever used it, bit i suspect you are referring to the vino server - and there are ways to modify it's config from the command line [16:16] Ive got a trouble with my pc.do u knw hw to repair a problem on booting.After ive installed ubuntu studio my pc sometimesfreezes/ hang when booting [16:16] nownot: ln -s [16:16] does ubuntu 8.10 will have brand new artwork?

[16:17] cached, to install a 64bit system - i guess you would need a free partition [16:17] indrora PLease dont post a link without a description of the problem and please dont swear. [16:17] Jack_Sparrow sorry. [16:17] mftom yes [16:17] unop: Aaah, cool. Just what I was looking for! [16:17] then will that fix it or will it jus tell me whats wrong?

[16:39] does anyone know how to change language package of abiwords dictionary? [16:39] <_Zeus_> ^^^ [16:39] you can burn cds but not isos ChrizC? [16:39] basti, correct. [16:39] #ubuntu-uk ask there ChrizC [16:39] !lug [16:39] Lug's are Linux User Groups. You can find your local group here: http://www.linux.org/groups/ [16:39] interesting. df -h spits out only /ver/ryn, /var/lock /dev and /dev/shm on this hardy install. how do i find out how much disk is available? [16:39] found some packages but don't know where to extract them [16:39] ChrizC: Your problem is not directly with ubuntu so we can't really help you other than by providing general advice :/ [16:39] ChrizC, then extract the iso and burn it [16:39] jepp: What are you trying to install? [16:40] pici : after i install headers for kernel, what i have to do? [16:40] warnet: Try to recompile [16:40] basti; that wouldn't work. You need to make a cd image, not just put it on the cd. [16:40] <_Zeus_> shingouz: are you on a live cd? [16:40] Probably what is happening is the .iso file is burned to the disk vs. the actual image. [16:40] _Zeus_: nope, this is a hd install [16:40] <_Zeus_> bastii don't think you can extract the iso like that [16:40] Can someone help me get the audio to work when I play MKV files? I am new to Ubuntu, so I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. [16:40] jepp: sudo apt-get install packagename [16:40] <_Zeus_> grim76__: agreed [16:40] ok [16:40] Pici, I want the spelling checker to check in another language. so i downloaded a package from here http://www.abisource.com/download/abispell.phtml [16:40] sleepy, using vlc? [16:40] what a surprise, no LUG's near here. [16:40] <_Zeus_> ChrizC: if you download the iso, you could try burning it from the broken live cd [16:40] pici : thanks alot pici [16:41] i removed Quiet and Splash and now this is what happens when i try to shutdown: "halt: unable to iterate IDE devices: no such file or directory" [16:41] _Zeus_; the burning problem isn't with Windows. It's with the actual drive. [16:41] and its stuck, it wont shut down, anyone know why? [16:41] Pici, but i don't know what to do with this packages [16:41] bazhang> No, I'm using Mplayer [16:41] <_Zeus_> ChrizC: i don't think you're right [16:41] _Zeus_ how so [16:41] ChrizC: and there's no way for you to do an USB install? :/ [16:41] sleepy, vlc works great with those [16:42] Chousuke I have an mp3 player, [16:42] mftom: you removed that from your /boot/grub/menu.lst? [16:42] Ok, Well I'll try, give me one sec to install [16:42] arvind_khadri: my swap partition is listed in fstab? how do I check it's size? what's a good size? [16:42] sleepy: you may need to install the w32codecs package [16:42] <_Zeus_> cads: type free in a termina; [16:42] <_Zeus_> how much ram do you have? [16:42] jepp: For what language? [16:42] How do I do that? [16:42] Help, Does someone know how to repair boot hanging? [16:42] cads, double the size of the ram [16:42] Pici, german [16:42] Help, Does someone know how to repair boot hanging? [16:42] ChrizC: hm, it might work, if you can somehow get ubuntu on it [16:42] sudo apt-get install vlc sleepy [16:42] ChrizC: and then boot from it [16:42] No, I mean the win32codecs [16:43] Chousuke; how? It's 1gb (but I suppose the iso is small) [16:43] <_Zeus_> arvind_khadri: bad advice [16:43] _Zeus_: mount also seems to give strange results, /sys /proc /var/run /var/lock /dev /dev/shm /dev/pts and /sys/kernel/security on it. personally i generate a big question mark. how the hell does this thing actually mount stuff? [16:43] go to www.medibuntu.org and get the package sleepy [16:43] how can i get a ntfs drive to be mounted at start up right now i have to click on it to mount [16:43] maszlo: yes i was told i can do that instead of removin it from livecd [16:43] ChrizC: I'm not sure how to do an USB install, but I know it's possible... now If I just could remember the factoid [16:43] also, Chousuke, my USB devices don't get turned on until windows bootup. [16:43] !usb [16:43] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [16:43] <_Zeus_> shingouz: can you pastebin /etc/fsatb? [16:43] _Zeus_, depends upon the ram size i know but its safe to use it... [16:43] <_Zeus_> ChrizC: of course they don't [16:44] ChrizC: then you probably need to tweak some bios setting to make it boot from USB [16:44] arvind_khadri: imho that was a good rule when people had 16-512 MB of ram today with ranges on the 1GB-4GB is too much. equal to ram just in case they want to hibernate is more than enough [16:44] <_Zeus_> arvind_khadri: exactly. For ex, if you have 2gb ram, a 2gb swap is plenty [16:44] ChrizC: most modern (and not so modern) computers can boot from USB [16:44] <_Zeus_> if you have 512mb, then you would want double [16:44] How do I install the win32codecs? [16:44] Mine's about 8 years old. [16:44] It was meant for ME x.x [16:44] I almost wish the system was more swappy: I only have 19 megabytes of main mem free yet a gig of swap is free - y swap is roughly 3 times y memory [16:44] VLC player plays the MKV, but no audio [16:44] sleepy, the instructions are on the page [16:44] mftom: not really sure how that would help other than if your boot if goofed up.. that just removes the ubuntu logo and displays all the output of boot [16:44] erUSUL, _Zeus_ roger that sir :) [16:44] What page? [16:44] mftom: its just sitting there now? [16:45] cads: *no* you don't [16:45] I missed your post [16:45] <_Zeus_> cads: why would it use swap if it has 19mb ram free? [16:45] yeah lol [16:45] a jepp: I think there is a package in the repositories you can use, try State: not a real package [16:45] www.medibuntu.org sleepy [16:45] pici : see u later [16:45] cads: swap is *slow*, RAM is fast [16:45] _Zeus_: the box is not currently on the network but even fstab looks strange, it does not have entries for / anywhere. or anything else for that matter except the cdrom and floppy. root and home are mounted in anycase because i can get on the filesystems [16:45] jepp: Er sorry. sudo apt-get install aspell-de [16:45] cads: the OS will avoid using swap at all costs. [16:45] cads: because it's horribly slow [16:45] I have weird "hanging" behavior in Hardy when I have audio input through the line-in jack; it resolves promptly when I unplug the line-in, but I don't see any errors in dmesg - where else might I look? PulseAudio is otherwise well-behaving. I need to record from this jack. Ideas? [16:45] yeah a friend of mine said the same thing on how that wouldnt help anything unless my computer froze on bootup but jack sparrow seems to think that would have helped so i tried it out. [16:45] cads, swap is used when all of the main mem is used up [16:45] <_Zeus_> shingouz: and the system runs fine? [16:45] pici : nice to meet you [16:45] _Zeus_: yup [16:45] <_Zeus_> shingouz: do you have a /etc/fstab~ file? [16:45] Pici, this isn't a package which is used by abIspell i think [16:45] _Zeus_: yes i do [16:46] wait [16:46] sec [16:46] <_Zeus_> shingouz: take a look at that file [16:46] I feel like the main mem is being used to store unimportant pages, and it bottlenecks when critical things are trying to run [16:46] _Zeus_: nope, only /etc/fstab [16:46] <_Zeus_> shingouz: crap [16:46] cads: that's not true [16:46] <_Zeus_> anyone know how to force recreation of fstab? [16:46] cads: as long as swap is not in use, you're good. [16:47] jepp: The package dependencies of abiword would leave me to believe that it is [16:47] cads: if it starts swapping, *then* you can worry about having unneeded things in RAM [16:47] mftom: you happen to make a backup that before hand? it is probably a syntax error.. space or typo or something... that should not keep it from booting.. tahts how all my installs boot [16:47] _Zeus_: i *do* have /etc/fstab but not /etc/fstab~ [16:47] cads: not true. memory used for disk caching is directly reclimable by the system... [16:47] !ram > cads [16:47] cads, please see my private message [16:47] <_Zeus_> !fstab [16:47] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [16:47] pici, ok i try [16:47] im just gonna uncomment off the original stuff that was there and put it back to normal [16:47] <_Zeus_> how can shingouz force auto recreation of fstab?? [16:47] <_Zeus_> shingouz: can you check out /etc/mtab? [16:48] i'll check out the guides [16:48] cads: to make it short: Linux knows better than you how to use swap and RAM. :) [16:48] _Zeus_: sec [16:48] Pici, doesn't work [16:48] so I've got my samsung blackjack II connected via USB to my Hardy desktop, and it shows up in lsusb, but I don't have a /dev/ttyACM0 that I can use as a USB modem -- anyone know what's gone wrong? [16:48] shingouz: in order to see the fstab~ file you have to hit ctrl+h to un hide it [16:48] zdar [16:48] _Zeus_: the same systems are mentioned in mtab as i have listed before [16:48] <_Zeus_> shingouz: i assume you are working in a terminal [16:48] Chousuke: there are alternate swapping methods as well [16:48] jj [16:48] njp [16:48] hello [16:48] !cz [16:48] České uživatele žádáme, aby mluvili v kanále #ubuntu anglicky.

[16:51] hehe.. this is insane. mount tells me the dirve is not mounted but thunar can see it nicely. i can also work on the apparently *un*mounted filesystem from a terminal without any problems [16:51] _Zeus_ It would still need some work, but it would give you a basic starting point [16:51] Someone Help me, I mount my ntfs disk in XUbuntu, but I can't write it. How can I fix it?? [16:51] _Zeus_: ditto :D [16:52] how do i change a password for vsftp virtual user? [16:52] <_Zeus_> shingouz: i assume you have rebooted?

I have WINE installed, how do I update it? [17:18] no hylafax users i take it [17:18] thanks legend2440 lol, would be much simpler for Gnome to make it an obvious option, especially for those coming from Windows to Linux. [17:18] thanks again Shing [17:18] anybody using realplayer 11 [17:18] IdentifyTarget, it would get update when you run dist-upgrade if there is a new version in the repo [17:18] what the hell, #WINE is invite only.... :\ [17:18] Xomp, you can also just drag and drop :) [17:19] IdentifyTarget, their support channel is #winehq [17:19] Xomp>> or right click and make link then drag that [17:19] ty [17:19] IdentifyTarget, welcome :) [17:19] CheeseTrap, drag and drop doesn't work to place the Computer and Home icons to the desktop, I've tried from damn near every possible location that Computer & Home show up lol [17:20] guys, i want to run something before I even login as a user, how do I start a service that way?

[17:21] CheeseTrap, yeah, some things you can drag from the menu list to your desktop, but Home & such just simply open if you try and drag them lol. So backwards feeling from an old Windows user standpoint. [17:22] IdentifyTarget, sudo mount -o loop /path/to/iso/yourfile.iso /home/username/a_folder_of_your_choice [17:22] I have geany on ubuntu and windows. Geany runs fine ubunu but on windows when I compile the java code a console appears for a second and I dont see compilation errors in geany [17:22] sweet [17:22] I can connect to wpa router, and ping google [17:22] but i have no internet [17:23] IdentifyTarget, I made an "ISO" folder in my /home directory, it's easier to remember when you're mounting :) You'll notice an CD icon on your desktop too that you can open. [17:23] Is there a quick way to make 2 files into one (just containing text) and sorting the lines? =) [17:23] cool. [17:23] shingouz, attrib --h and man attrib tell me i haven't got that, and sudo apt-get install attrib says it's not available... if you meant another use of chmod, the word 'immutable' doesn't appear anywhere in the chmod manpage according to the search tool for string 'immu' - any suggestions?

[17:23] anyone help me with my wpa problem [17:24] <_Zeus_> jamil123456789: what is geany? [17:24] one more question. Am I doing something wrong, trying to connect to SMB share?

[18:01] Can you turn on multi monitor support in LiveCD [18:01] <^Devious^> really? [18:01] <^Devious^> wow [18:01] Zidatron: I haven't messed with ia64 since...hmmm...Breezy? But if I recall, you have to add the i386 repositories to your apt, and then it's the usual, but you don't want to slap too much in there, so be selective on your downloads. [18:01] Zidatron: to build 32-bit on 64-bit install the package lib32gcc1 and and use the -m32 flag to gcc [18:01] ^Devious^: maybe the qt package would be nicer to you, with QtDesigner you can actually design the form (window) with your mouse.. [18:01] How do you make a .deb from source? The source (barry) already has a debian folder I just can't remember the command to try and build it. [18:02] <^Devious^> thanks zida [18:02] IntuitiveNipple: as i wrote earlier, lib32gcc1 seems to be installed. [18:02] rrittenhouse: fakeroot debian/rules binary [18:02] welcome [18:02] <^Devious^> I think I'll start off by getting better at the CLI [18:02] IntuitiveNipple, thanks [18:02] hog, one program returned a failure not sure which one [18:02] Zidatron: Is the Makefile using -m32 ? [18:02] IntuitiveNipple: and i am using -m32, but gcc says he cant find __umoddi3 and __udivdi3 .. [18:02] <^Devious^> before I write apps [18:03] Zidatron: ahh.... you need the other libs, let me try and remember which! [18:03] ^Devious^: Learn the programming you want, learn the CLI as you need it. [18:03] Ill be nice here and let you try. === abjdshfsd is now known as nixbox [18:03] Zidatron: do you have gcc-multilib installed? [18:04] Hello people, I'm receiving 'CRL has expired' when i try to revoke a certifiy in openvepn, how can I remake this crl file ? [18:04] Does Evolution crash for anyone else? It usually happens when I type in my password. [18:04] ARGH [18:04] IntuitiveNipple: No, i havent installed gcc-multilib. [18:04] IntuitiveNipple: thanks very much. [18:04] itsatrick: Evolution *never* crashes for me. That being said, I use Thunderbird... [18:04] bonsoir [18:04] <^Devious^> been using evolution fine [18:05] im used to build the gcc with USE=multilib, oddly enough i find it easier with gentoo^^ [18:05] Right, I want to use VM software to run Ubuntu over Windows.. But my disks are NTFS formatted, is this a problem? [18:05] <^Devious^> although now you mention it [18:05] <^Devious^> it DID crash the first time [18:05] ubuntu [18:05] whops [18:05] <^Devious^> I prefer evolution - its faster on my slow system [18:05] Zidatron: That is a meta-package so ensure the version matching the gcc version you're using is installed by it - otherwise install the specific version package manually [18:05] ! flash player [18:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about flash player [18:05] true\false: No, it's not a problem, you can just use WUBI and you won't need a VM. [18:05] <^Devious^> False its not a problem [18:05] !flash player [18:05] true\false .. its not a problem [18:05] <^Devious^> In the VM you should set up a VIRTUAL DISK [18:06] the format of the image is independent of the disk format stored in the image === edo32mb is now known as edo32mb|away [18:06] if that makes any sense [18:06] Ok... I understand [18:06] hello, I have a problem, wireless won't exceed 1 mb/s , any ideas what do I have to tweak ? I mean it's 64 mbits and the router is in the house. with windows I had 3 mb/s [18:06] does anyone know how to hide columns in openoffice writer? [18:06] <^Devious^> and then format it to the OS's Desire whether it be Linux, Dos, win, Be,mac or anything else [18:06] <^Devious^> and then it will install on the VM [18:06] i don't know how to install flash player [18:06] Thanks, will download it tonight. :) And I guess it might be easier to shove my old 80GB HDD into this computer and run ubuntu off that? [18:06] can someone give a hand [18:06] hi [18:06] djiadf [18:06] woohoo, it works.. [18:07] what's work? [18:07] <^Devious^> Roland - I used to sell wireless gear for a living [18:07] <^Devious^> you do know the 8/1 rule? [18:07] nope [18:07] Eurgh this channel is too active/cluttered, but thanks. :) I'll just try ubuntu in VM first. [18:07] <^Devious^> well your router might be a gazillion Mbps but your internet wont be [18:07] <^Devious^> true false [18:08] <^Devious^> I can help you [18:08] <^Devious^> no probs [18:08] imura, go to Applications/Add Remove Select All Available Applications at the top, then search for Flash [18:08] <^Devious^> What VM software are you using [18:08] true\false: Well, you can do something else, which is kind of nice for the 'doze users out there, there's WUBI on the live CD for Ubuntu now. WUBI allows you to install Ubuntu into Windows, as if it were a Windows program. You'll have the dual boot option and everything once it's installed, and it'll give you a very good idea of what it's like, without having to figure out all those pesky partitioning issues...(Until you're ready to re [18:08] lol [18:08] ^Devious^: Virtualbox is what I installed [18:08] Roland-: sudo iwconfig wlan0 54M [18:08] my internet is 100 mbps full [18:08] <^Devious^> Microsoft VPC doesnt really like linux distros that much - I found VMWARE was quite good [18:08] if I plug in the cable I have 11 mb/s [18:08] <^Devious^> I've never tried virtual box [18:09] anyone knows how to find the actual refresh rate? Taking a look at xorg.conf "VertRefresh" only gives me a range of values. [18:09] <^Devious^> WHOAAAA 100Mbps Internet???? What kind of internet is that? [18:09] <^Devious^> ADSL2+ is like 20 - 24Mbits [18:09] BinaryFu, any real downsides to that? [18:09] BinaryFu: btw, i wanted to ask you earlier, but you _do_ know that ia-64 is a completely architecture than amd64/x86_64? [18:09] is out isp band [18:09] <^Devious^> Cable is like 30mbits [18:09] cyban: "The problem is as far as I can understand is that the HDD isn't yet detected in the kernel when RAID is assembled. I quickly fixed it only if I manually edit /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init and put sleep 10 after line log_begin_msg "Mounting root file system...". After this I updated initramfs with sudo update-initramfs -k all -u" [18:09] is the largest in here [18:09] and we have metropolitan network [18:09] cyban: =) [18:09] we kind of all have 100 mbps in our country [18:09] true\false: Zero downsides 100% upsides. [18:09] ^Devious^, got it reccomeded from another ubuntu user. :) [18:09] when i login on gnome in Ubuntu, I get really big windows saying "Error loading" something, can't get the complete error message, do you guys know how to get rid of it? [18:09] * ^hellfire^ siema [18:10] BinaryFu, and I guess no file system issues, as I'm already NTFS? [18:10] alot of popups [18:10] <^Devious^> if youre using an actual WIFI hotspot then it could be the BURST rate of 3mb's - in Aus with Telstra bigpond wireless burst speeds are up to 3mbs [18:10] i tried removing .gnome, .gnome2 and .gnome2_private, restarting gdm but it didnt help [18:10] Zidatron: Yeah, I just use ia-64 as short for all of it. I don't bother with 64 bit, and won't until they have everything worked out 100%. [18:10] <^Devious^> cool true/false nice sounding app then hey..... If youre using windows I've got an idea for you [18:10] Vladimir[LV], good to know, I dont do kernel arguments, odd that you had to [18:10] cyban thanks [18:10] true\false: Nope, zero issues. It installs inside the Windows partition. [18:10] anyone? [18:10] BinaryFu: just wanted to let you know. [18:11] Someone knows where to find the ubuntu source code? [18:11] ^Devious^: Windows XP MCE, possibly moving to Vista (Depending on what I can scrounge from uni) [18:11] but [18:11] sorry, wrong typed [18:11] Zidatron: np bud, I fully understand, and it's appreciated. [18:11] how do give everyone all permission on a text file? [18:11] Zidatron: I should have been more clear in my explanation. [18:11] ^^ [18:11] mib_hgr24k: chmod [18:11] <^Devious^> If youre moving to vista (I've used it) I'd just go to Kubuntu with Compiz [18:11] BinaryFu: i forgive you :D [18:12] <^Devious^> try it out in Vbox [18:12] sidewalk: chmod xxx * [18:12] mig_hgr24k: chmod ugo+rwx file [18:12] mig_hgr24k: that gives all users full access to the file [18:12] <^Devious^> But on a less opinionated topic - you will def want to defrag using something like JKDEGRAG sevral times - google it up [18:12] \join #ubuntu--fr [18:12] <^Devious^> Windows default defrag is useless [18:12] for some reason when i copy from old winduhs partition, I get bunked up connections.. [18:12] <^Devious^> well.....not entirely [18:12] permissions I mean [18:13] ^Devious^, will look at kubuntu with compiz in a second then ta [18:13] that's it [18:13] Ya know, I've never been a fan of KDE...looks close enough to Windows to fool ya, and operates enough like linux to frustrate ya. :D [18:13] im switching back to windows [18:13] better multitasking [18:13] :) [18:13] cya [18:13] <^Devious^> lol @ binary fu [18:13] Gah I can't wait to get a second desktop.. Laziness+] [18:13] <^Devious^> Better multitasking? I disagree for sure there [18:14] Yeah I was gonna call foul on that "better multi-tasking" part. [18:14] sidewalk, tyvm [18:14] I mean, c'mon... [18:14] <^Devious^> On my p3 933 with no ram on it - Im running 5 pagers (Spaces) and running HEAPS [18:14] Well, if you're used to something, it's just awkward to hange [18:14] when i login on gnome in Ubuntu, I get really big windows saying "Error loading" something, can't get the complete error message, do you guys know how to get rid of it? [18:14] <^Devious^> when i was running win2k it just wouldnt play ball [18:14] <^Devious^> youd load firefox, word and a few other things and it would just die [18:15] where can I find all of Ubuntu's source code? [18:15] <^Devious^> I totally agree true/false [18:15] <^Devious^> It is VERY awkward to change [18:15] anybody give me some tips on good newbie resources to learn about gaining, granting, and restricting remote access? [18:15] true\false: I found the only way I could really learn Linux, was to do away with Windows...I kept running back to it every time something got hard. [18:15] <^Devious^> thats why I've tried linux ever since red hat 7.2 and gone back and forwards [18:15] Once I killed off Windows completely, I started to get really comfortable with Linux. And learned tons. [18:15] BinaryFu: I can't get rid of windows completely, so I don't plan to do that, I just want some linux experience [18:16] <^Devious^> but now I have Kubuntu 8.04 (They have alpha 8.10 now so I've heard) I must say Linux has improved VASTLY since then [18:16] <^Devious^> no more modifying the boot process to load my promise ATA PCI card, no more config mouse drivers [18:16] ^Devious^: how do you know? [18:16] please someone answer: Can I find all of the source code ubuntu uses somewhere? [18:16] Red Hat \o/ [18:16] <^Devious^> how do I know what? [18:16] ^Devious^: so you're talking about ubuntu, then? [18:16] JeyPeyy: sure. [18:17] <^Devious^> yeah Im on kubuntu right now [18:17] but i have know idea where. [18:17] Zidatron: Where? [18:17] true\false: Just give yourself like...weekends or something like that, where you don't allow yourself access to windows at all. [18:17] JeyPeyy: as i said, no idea where. do you have bzr? [18:17] BinaryFu: Heh, easier said than done when I'm a CS student, and prefer .NET as a platform [18:18] true\false: Anytime you run into an issue, google it, read up on it, learn. If you go, "Dammit, I really need a program to play my mp3s!!!" look it up, find out what's available and try them out. That is the single most best advice I can give. [18:18] I just upgraded after 2.5 yrs from 6.06 to 8.04 Yahhhhhoooooo and had to tell someone WOW and AMAZING [18:18] <^Devious^> well the reason that is no longer a reason because im lazy now - that i switched over to kubuntu is from what I read programming applications is much better in linux as well as cracking wireless networks and general HTML [18:18] !source | JeyPeyy [18:18] JeyPeyy: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [18:18] <^Devious^> + the tst netrc and other network security tools [18:18] BobC2: Welcome back from the stone ages. ;) [18:18] hh [18:18] hi [18:18] Thanks BinaryFu [18:18] <^Devious^> My first ubuntu was 5.04 [18:18] <^Devious^> I actually have hte red cd's still [18:18] will next version of Ubuntu support FakeRAID? [18:18] <^Devious^> theres a 2cd sleeve [18:19] ahhh 5.04 [18:19] My first was breezy bastard. [18:19] Guma_, No OS ever likes fakeraid heh [18:19] I mean, badger. [18:19] Hi, everyone.Is there one command to re-upgrade ubuntu 8.04 to ubuntu 8.04 just to correct some errors at booting system.When i boot my pc it usually hangs and i dont want to reinstall the system because its too hard to install LAMP and OFFICE, ive crashed my head to do that.Please, help me!!! [18:19] hiyah [18:19] <^Devious^> breezy bastard?? What the? lol [18:19] BinaryFu: Aye, I'll try to get a decent understanding, I'm just too lazy to get it set up right now to be honest [18:19] I did all on line it wa awesome! [18:19] 5.04.. memories [18:19] I am a Fedora user, tryung Ubunto for a while since F9 sux [18:19] was* [18:19] Freudian slip. [18:19] I figure that I HAVE to reinstall windows within a fortnight [18:19] ubottu: Yes I know, but I want to build all of ubuntu from scratch [18:19] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:19] cyban: So I have to get real RAID card? Since the one on my MB will not be supports? [18:20] <^Devious^> well couldnt you just do this at CLI ??? Sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop?? wouldnt that install packages needed that are missing? [18:20] using rock linux or something [18:20] lol [18:20] true\false: But...with WUBI, there's not much "set up" to do. It's like installing a windows program...literally. [18:20] JeyPeyy: maybe try gentoo ? [18:20] <^Devious^> Cant you do a software LVM raid or something? [18:20] Guma_, there is no real advantage to fakeraid - use softraid as a replacement [18:20] JeyPeyy: or LFS? [18:20] Hi, everyone.Is there one command to re-upgrade ubuntu 8.04 to ubuntu 8.04 just to correct some errors at booting system.When i boot my pc it usually hangs and i dont want to reinstall the system because its too hard to install LAMP and OFFICE, ive crashed my head to do that.Please, help me!!! [18:20] Easier than Windows..really! [18:20] JeyPeyy: All the source code is available manually from http://packages.ubuntu.com, or automatically per-package using "apt get source " [18:20] fakeraid for Windows, softraid for Linux/UNIX/BSD [18:20] <^Devious^> linuxghost did you read my response [18:20] no [18:21] BinaryFu: Hmm, I don't see how that will work entirely :s but it's on the standard image I'll be downloading? [18:21] <^Devious^> whats the alternate to apt-get that is easier to remove if something goes wrong [18:21] <^Devious^> i dont remember it [18:21] is this a chat room [18:21] <^Devious^> let me load up a console and check [18:21] ^Devious^: aptitude? [18:21] <^Devious^> BINGO thanks odd ration [18:21] <^Devious^> thats te one [18:21] cyban: How can I do that? I am trying to install 8.04 on my 680i SLI MB and in Bios it reports Stripe RAID but Ubuntu sees it as two separate drives. Any help is appriciates. [18:21] ^Devious^: That would work, but if he's got corrupted configs, he might need to do the fancy options I can't remember. [18:21] yep alice this is a chat room [18:21] kk [18:22] true\false: Yes. And it works using elfin magic. [18:22] Devious? in command line type sudo apt-get only? [18:22] <^Devious^> omg I actually made a half valid suggestion.....it means im actually learning something [18:22] <^Devious^> me pats myself on back [18:22] <^Devious^> Linux ghost [18:22] Guma_, disable Fakeraid in BIOS, use Ubuntu install to configure a Software RAID array [18:22] Guma_: That sounds like SoftRAID - and you'll need the matching driver. It might be dmraid you need [18:22] Devious? [18:22] <^Devious^> you know what I really love that I did in linux [18:22] alice_, it's not a chat room - it's a support channel - off topic chat goes in #ubuntu-offtopic [18:22] <^Devious^> if you google how to edit your bash.rc file [18:22] ok Thanx guys [18:22] ^Devious^: Browse porn without getting a trojan? [18:22] wot do u all talk abut comp [18:22] <^Devious^> you can add an ALIAS [18:22] <^Devious^> LOL BINARY [18:22] Oppps sorry alice [18:23] <^Devious^> Nah thats why people buy MAC systems!!!! lmao [18:23] !ot | alice_ [18:23] alice_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [18:23] <^Devious^> better for graphics [18:23] If Ubuntu has Softraid options, I assume it does since most every other Linux distro does.... [18:23] sorry 4 wot [18:23] DEvious, put name/nick when u wrte advise [18:23] BinaryFu, ^Devious^ : Thanks, will just try a few different things out between now and formatting. :) [18:23] alice_, we support ubuntu here [18:23] ^Devious^: Lies. Ubuntu is peachy for graphics, and macs are PCs now. [18:23] <^Devious^> ok now im lost between all talks [18:23] oh kk [18:23] Hi, everyone.Is there one command to re-upgrade ubuntu 8.04 to ubuntu 8.04 just to correct some errors at booting system.When i boot my pc it usually hangs and i dont want to reinstall the system because its too hard to install LAMP and OFFICE, ive crashed my head to do that.Please, help me!!! [18:23] <^Devious^> So macs are pc's and peaches are for pears and pc's ? [18:24] It is a chat room used to help with Ubuntu ...What's in a name? lol [18:24] <^Devious^> ok sorry LINUXGHOST [18:24] can u go one2one wid someone [18:24] ^Devious^: This is still a support channel, if you want to chat, please join #ubuntu-offtopic or elsewhere [18:24] !pm | alice_ [18:24] alice_: 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. [18:24] LinuxGhost, apt-get --help, clean it up a little might fix it [18:24] best to ask a question here many will see it and help [18:24] alice_: yes. but you need to registered... [18:24] <^Devious^> Edit bash rc and add something like ALIAS GET="sudo apt-get install" [18:25] !register | alice_ [18:25] alice_: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. [18:25] clean, upgrade, check etc [18:25] <^Devious^> and then every time you type GET in the CLI it will perform that command [18:25] ^Devious^, that will not work for a few reasons [18:25] have u all got webbook or heard of em [18:25] Odd-rationale: You do not need to be registered to send private messages on freenode. [18:25] hardy heron, dell inspiron 6000, hp p1170 external monitor, i want to soley use external monitor when it's connected to laptop and i want the laptop screen to be off [18:25] Pici, hmm [18:25] Pici: oh sorry. has that change? or always been that way? [18:25] <^Devious^> so then LINUXGHOST you can then actually easily install several packages including Ubuntu - but as it was mentioned I dont know if that will work [18:25] Thanx everyone who helped me out [18:25] Odd-rationale: It changed a few months ago [18:25] <---does not know of webbook [18:25] alice, whats webbook? ^^ [18:26] Pici: thx for the update... [18:26] kevin_: That's more of a bios issue than Linux. [18:26] cyban, wount it clean all hard disk? [18:26] ^Devious^, linux (or in this case, bash) commands are case-sensitive .. ALIAS is not a valid command [18:26] <^Devious^> so it must be lower case unop? Thanks for the knowhow [18:26] BinaryFu: what?windows can do this no problem [18:27] ^Devious^, and "bash rc" wouldn't be a valid rc file for a default bash setup atleast [18:27] LinuxGhost, your in Ubuntu right, not mid install? [18:27] kevin_: Then you have a setting in bios to do so, I presume...what video card are you using? [18:27] kevin_, Close the laptop lid [18:27] can view YouTube now in 8.04 and it saw my digital camera too! WhoooHoooo! [18:27] cyban,ham? i dint understand,sorry [18:27] ok, I'm on this server trying to get syntax hilighting to work in vim but it doesn't. "ls -C" returns with colors but I couldn't set up to get colors in vim, where should I start? [18:27] <^Devious^> lovely bobc2 [18:27] BinaryFu: intel915 i think [18:28] LinuxGhost, you're all set, on Ubuntu just errors etc, or you're having problems installing? [18:28] xintron, :syntax on [18:28] <^Devious^> I was delighted to find that when I plug in just about any USB printer it picks it up automagically [18:28] cyban: doesn't do anything, closed lid is closey but screen is till on, as clone [18:28] <^Devious^> no driver install disks [18:28] cyban,apt-get --help then clean option? [18:28] Really is Devious ... I'm SOOOO impressed [18:28] unop: ofc :) [18:28] nice pic editing tools too [18:28] <^Devious^> youtube is REALLY slow with a 1mb gfx card though lol bob [18:28] unop: it's not that easy cuz it won't work with my .bashrc file either (with some colors to it) [18:28] cyban: How much difference in speed is between real RAID card and dmraid? It is worth getting hardware RAID? I am interested in RAID 0 === nn_ is now known as Guest6476 [18:28] LinuxGhost, no just apt-get --help read the different options like sudo apt-get autoclean [18:28] <^Devious^> and also I was impressed that I plugged in a sata / ide usb converter and it picks up straight off bat [18:29] cyban, ive installed ubuntu for long time just now having booting troubleshooting [18:29] xintron, i fail to see how vim commands are somehow tied with .bashrc ? [18:29] kevin_: Then go into System - Preferences - Screen Resolution and turn of Clone Screens. [18:29] well its my 256 mb memory that's slow now [18:29] <^Devious^> brb [18:29] Help installing me fluxbuntu with iso please ! [18:29] kevin_, try vid card upgrade, also check your power management options - im on a laptop, lid closed, screen on laptop is off [18:29] cyban, ok i will try now be there ill be back [18:29] xintron, or maybe you want to turn syntax highlighting for when you edit a .bashrc? is what what you mean? [18:29] unop: I meant to get the "what it's called, where the username@host: is" [18:29] help [18:30] xintron, that's the bash prompt [18:30] unop: that line colored (copied from my own machine to the server but it still doesn't get that color) [18:30] unop: yeah [18:30] Guma - for RAID 0 IMO its not worth it but thats just opinion, unless you need RAID 3, 5, 7 no point going and spending the cash for the RAID controllers [18:30] <^Devious^> I wonder how it is possible to install a distro from an ISO at a command prompt booting from BIOS [18:30] <^Devious^> without a CD [18:30] !install | ^Devious^ [18:30] ^Devious^: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways.

Other than that, if you MUST use the CLI, then I would go /media/ and ls to see what's new in there. === hauke2 is now known as hauke11 [18:46] vassler, `elite'? === hauke11 is now known as hauke2 [18:47] Mikey: But it *is* a fairly new ati card?

[18:48] unop: mv, cool [18:48] benzs_s, mv old_filename new_filename [18:48] Vladimir[LV]: And do an ls to see what's in there, it's probably just mounted as "disk" or something like that. [18:48] heh BinaryFu: I've spent hours doing that mate :P [18:49] Mikey: What's the model of it again?

The FS is FAT32, formatted under Vista. [19:17] cyban,what happen if i uncheck all apps to not be booted on system start?Because i think its related to reading system file and drivers not those associated [19:17] anybody know why my hdmi wouldn't be working, and vga works only at a low resolution?> [19:17] Hi all, I don't know for what reason, every now and then my DNS is falling back to 192.168.1.1. Can some one help me please? How to fix this? [19:17] cyban, i refer there, system>session> [19:18] startup programs [19:18] madrazr: Where are you changing it? [19:18] madrazr, that just your router, dont worrry, your other dns servers were unreachable for what ever reason, likely they are overlaoded [19:18] LinuxGhost, I would do 1 then reboot, then re-enable it and do the next otherwise you wont know which is causing the issue [19:18] fignuts: do u have a proper driver installed ? [19:18] CartoonCat: It just sounds strange, if the message reports about the file-system :) [19:18] why restore effect lags for my radeon 9600 with fglrx?

[19:19] IntuitiveNipple: Yes it is strange, ill pop t on the vista laptop and see what happens (yay multiport enclosure) [19:19] so... my rsync died and I tried to resume with --partial but it runs through the file like everything was aok... any ideas how to make it pick up the transfer? [19:19] CartoonCat: but this happening to me from very long time, at least from the day I installed Hardy, but did not have any problems with it as such till now [19:19] BinaruFu: yes [19:19] gimmie a few ill find outs [19:20] BinaryFu: yes [19:20] CartoonCat: but today I noticed that djangoproject.com doesn't open with 192.168.1.1 [19:20] How do I save in Vim?

[19:20] madrazr: Yeah, Sys-ad-net-dns would be the way to go, personally I toss a few in there myself...shouldn't be removing them though... [19:20] (to Jampiter) [19:20] ../../sda and ../../sda1 [19:20] Nece228: #1 reason for really crappy slowdown on effects is improperly (or not at all) installed video drivers.

The layout I want shows up in the... layout picture when I select it, but it just won't change. I'm trying to do this through keyboard preferences [19:21] hi, why don't administrative apps like synaptic and "Login Window" pick up new gtk themes [19:21] Jampiter: try hitting escape first [19:21] BinaryFu: im using fglrx drivers [19:21] Thanks :) [19:21] ieee1934[idstring] before them both [19:21] how can I find really big, recent files? [19:21] BinaryFu: how to access that? [19:21] whats the command? [19:21] How do i enable monitor mode in ubuntu for my 802.11 network card? [19:22] BinaryFu: ouch... sorry... I understood what you said now [19:22] CartoonCat: what device id's does it show though? That should tell you where the sda device is located - if it shows the IEEE1394 interface then that message must be from the disk markers, not from the Mobo's controller [19:22] BinaryFu: but that is causing this problem [19:22] exit [19:22] conb123: you need to install patched drivers in most cases [19:22] madrazr: Very odd. [19:22] hi.. can anybody solve my problem of connecting net via bluetooth from mobile on ubuntu ?plz..... [19:22] IntuitiveNipple: any ideas? [19:23] it's funny that even when my hard drive is stuffed, all of the command line programs still work [19:23] I'm here in irssi, googling my problem in links... [19:23] can anyone help? im trying to install a new kernel and need some direction. [19:23] Just install the package gamma-x [19:23] nrook: reminds me of bloody gentto [19:23] You know how to use apt-get? [19:23] star: what is the problem ? [19:23] Nece228: I don't use ATi myself, so I don't know what the "proper" drivers would be, but you generally have 2 options - download the drivers from the repositories or going to ATi and getting the drivers from them. [19:23] gamma-x: [19:24] CartoonCat: Inspect the file-system itself without mounting it, with a tool like testdisk, or manually using "dd if=/dev/sda1 bs=512 count=1 | hexdump -C" [19:24] Jampiter, yes, i can install a new kernel by using apt-get? wow [19:24] CartoonCat: So are there sperate drivers for different model cards [19:24] *seperate [19:24] Nece228: But I'd make sure the drivers are properly installed, because my bet is that's what's causing your slowdown. [19:24] case^: :) [19:24] oh joy [19:24] Hi, how i can watch virtual earth from microsoft under linux? there exist an alternative? [19:24] gamma-x: So what's the problem? [19:24] BinaryFu: whats the difference? [19:24] BinaryFu: everythink else works fine [19:24] Open street map maybe tomy222 [19:24] Jampiter, how do i find out the most currect kernel? [19:24] no images though I don't think [19:24] Nece228, have you tried 'Envy' to install ATI drivers? [19:24] CartoonCat: try "fsck.vfat /dev/sda1" [19:25] hi [19:25] is testdisk nondestrutive? ive got a lot of data on there [19:25] gamma-x: the repos will have the most recent version AFAIK [19:25] BinaryFu Thanks dude, this is gonna help big time, but it's not exactly what I want [19:25] is there a # for conky? [19:25] ok, is that one non destrutive? [19:25] Just search for the kernel version gamma-x # [19:25] microsoft vizio alternatives? [19:25] BinaryFu It will help just the same but it doesn't do Cloned Dual Displays [19:25] This is weird. When I run "syaptic" from the command line it uses my gtk theme, but when I go "gksu synaptic" it uses the default ugly grey boxes. Can somebody explain? [19:25] lo all [19:25] Hello, is there any way to get IRC links in Firefox to open up in Pidgin? Right now, it does nothing. [19:26] alecwh: set your default app for irc:// links [19:26] okay, I've got a huge-ass recent file in /lib/udev/devices called "core" [19:26] BinaryFu: If this doesn't work out after a month I'll just buy an External VGA Card compatible with linux lol [19:26] I assume nothing bad will happen if I nuke it? [19:26] MagicDuck: your themes aint in /usr/share/themes folder [19:26] does anyone know how i can have sound in teamspeak and medal fo honor? only one of the two gets sound when run together [19:26] Nece228: Well...the ones from ATi are the "latest" the ones in the repository are "stable". You could also try going into terminal and typing glxgears and waiting for the output to see what your FPS are. If you're using a very new card, you should be seeing 10,000 FPS+ if not, you don't have open gl working properly, which means you don't have the drivers installed properly. [19:26] oh thank [19:26] thanks [19:26] Mikey: LoL. :) [19:26] case^: how do I do this? [19:26] Ok, I've broken Sudo. How can I revert the sudoers file back to the original? [19:26] NemesisUK: Maybe ask in #winehq [19:27] I am getting a little over a 1000 FPS on the gears. [19:27] citizen42alpha: 29088 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5817.580 FPS [19:27] Jampiter, ? [19:27] i thought it has to do with sharing the device [19:27] on a x800xl [19:27] i installed audacious, resized the playlist according to the screen resolution 1600x1200, now I'm back on 1280x1024 and the playlist handle for resizing is not accessible, what do I do? [19:27] NemesisUK: You could try the ALSA drivers in wine. [19:27] neone tell me wher to get xorg.conf file i mistackaly delted it [19:27] but i'll give that a go [19:27] IntuitiveNipple: oddness, said there were no vfats. im going ot get the vista box [19:27] =] I am on a 7300go laptop. [19:27] ok cheers [19:27] NemesisUK: Because OSS generally == 1 sound capable program at a time. [19:27] case^: right now, my firefox is set to use 'purple-url-handler' [19:28] ah ok [19:28] what's wrong? [19:28] hog: Synaptic's now saying I can't apply changes. I might have modified the wrong thing in sudoers [19:28] NemesisUK: If that doesn't work, you could try the PulseAudio. [19:28] is a file called "core" in /lib/udev/devices a core dump? [19:28] thanks Binaryfu [19:28] NemesisUK: If that doesn't work, you could cry softly into your mic. [19:28] Jampiter, you were to only uncomment one line right? [19:28] lol [19:28] It said I should use visudo [19:28] hog [19:29] alecwh: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options+window?style_mode=inproduct#applications_options [19:29] I did and I don't know how to use Vim, and I think I added some more enters or something [19:29] I still have a problem that I can't find how to get Ubuntu to sense my TV [19:29] case^: Yeah, I'm at the options box, it's just that it doesn't work. =P [19:29] it's currently set to 'purple-url-handler' [19:29] Mikey: Your...TV? [19:29] It's connected through the RGB/VGA port.....but it's not sensing it [19:30] alecwh: hmm, not a FF user so thats about the end of my knowledge... [19:30] BinaryFu: Yeah....usually works no problems...but with the Ubuntu drivers...I'm not sure [19:30] CartoonCat: Could the multi-port IEEE1394 device be causing the problem? [19:30] Mikey: Didja try what the guy had listed for changing the xorg.conf file? [19:30] case^: thanks anyway [19:30] http://paste2.org/p/77328 <-- sux :( [19:30] hey guys, ive installed kde on ubuntu... now kde is the default desktop for new users, i want it to be gnome... how do i restore that? [19:30] BinaryFu: It's not that simple, he already has a Monitor being detected I think [19:30] BinaryFu: let me check [19:30] Mikey: You could always tell it that it's a generic monitor. [19:31] CartoonCat: Does the device have multiple disks and a controller or is it a single disk? Did the disk get formatted by a system running dmraid and/or a Promise Fastrak controller? [19:31] mh, ad a website i must install a addon for virtual earth for watching the 3D! But i can' t install under linux! what i can do? [19:31] Jampiter, cd to etc/ then sudo nano sudoers [19:31] lucax, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [19:31] Mikey: You can pretty much dictate everything in xorg.conf, including resolutions permitted, etc. [19:31] is there a reason why USB devices are also named /dev/sdXY just as my SATA devices? what does sd stand for? [19:31] hog: i have that one installed already [19:31] How do I get irc:// links to open up in Pidgin from Firefox? Right now, in Firefox preferences, irc links are handled by "purple-url-handler". Why doesn't it work? [19:31] It says in the file that I have to use visudo to edit it.. do I have to cyban? [19:31] xbxbxb: Yes, because the SCSI sub-system is managing them [19:32] BinaryFu: let me check it out and search for my second screen [19:32] IntuitiveNipple: Oh okay.. and what does 'sd' mean? === nrook is now known as nrook_nothere [19:32] no, su in terminal once your in the etc directory copy paste this: sudo nano sudoers [19:32] When I go to add/remove hardware I get an error message which says: This is a major failure of your software management system. Please check for broken packages with synaptic, check the file permissions and correctness of the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and reload the software information with: 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get install -f'. [19:32] xbxbxb: It means Scsi Disk [19:32] Add remove software* [19:32] i want to make a list of all packages installed through apt-get after i installed ubuntu, how do i do that? [19:32] IntuitiveNipple: thanks [19:33] hal_v2: And have you gone into the terminal and done a sudo apt-get update ? [19:33] How can I grep the contents of every file on my entire system for the string "moobackup.sh" ? [19:33] Yes [19:33] hal_v2: And it didn't fix anything? [19:33] Not at all. :( [19:33] hal_v2: Hmmm....don't think it would matter, but you could try apt-get autoclean as well...see if you have broken deps floating around. [19:34] CzarAlex: grep -rn 'moobackup.sh' /* [19:34] CzarAlex: or more accurately: grep -rn 'moobackup\.sh' /* [19:34] hal_v2: You could also try a sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and see if perhaps there were some missing packages it needed to have installed. [19:36] If I plug a Screen using S-Video out into Ubuntu while it's running will it auto-detect it? [19:36] a while back i found the command to create a thumbnail for a movie...anyone care to refresh my memory? [19:36] hello [19:36] IntuitiveNipple: Ok problem A) Its NTFS, i was sure i formatted FAT32 so I could use it between both OSs [19:36] Mkey: Me == hi all. how to install a 3dDesktop on Ubuntu? [19:36] stefania: Define "3D desktop"? [19:37] BinaryFu: Reason I asked is cause Ubuntu is not finding my second screen [19:37] BinaryFu, like beryl [19:37] BinaryFu: Not sure how to add it [19:37] Thank you, IntuitiveNipple [19:37] BinaryFu: Gonna have to check this out [19:37] do you know if Bery is stable? [19:37] stefania: Compiz is installed already. You just need open gl drivers. [19:37] if i have a program that is fullscreen that goes crazy and wont give let me kill it is there something i can do other than ctrl+clt+backspace? [19:37] alt* [19:37] how to obtain that drivers? [19:37] Mikey: Yeah, that's gone past my general knowledge and into "This is a problem for laptop users to resolve" [19:38] stefania: What video card would you be using? [19:38] phantomcircuit: Use the magix sys-request to kill all processes on that terminal: Ctrl+Alt+SysRq+K [19:38] I dont know... hw to see? [19:38] BinaryFu: heh....well your help is greatly appreciated just the same mate :P [19:38] SysRq ? [19:38] hi [19:38] phantomcircuit: Yes [19:38] oh i see it now [19:38] lets see if this works [19:39] IntuitiveNipple, hmm didn't find what I was looking for. I started a cron job over a year ago and i'm not sure where to find it. I'm migrating to a new system and would like to carry that task over. the script that is run is moobackup.sh . I can't find it listed in crontab or cron.weekly (as it runs every friday). Anywhere else I can search? [19:39] Mikey: Very welcome. :) [19:39] I've an NVidia card [19:39] CzarAlex: check in /etc/anacrontab [19:39] stefania: I would go to System - Administration - Hardware Drivers [19:39] 512 mb ram [19:39] What is the best way to develop an application which plots animated graphics on Ubuntu? Any directions? Cairo seems to be REALLY slow on Ubuntu... [19:40] I've installed driver for invidia [19:40] stefania: And see if your NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver is enabled. [19:40] IntuitiveNipple, yeah that is what i was trying to avoid [19:40] CzarAlex: also, check in /etc/cron.weekly [19:40] yes is enabled [19:40] i just wanted to kill one program not kill all of them [19:40] phantomcircuit: Well, I did say that kills all processes on the console! [19:40] a program that paused all the other ones that let you kill them would be very useful [19:40] stefania: Okay...so...you have gutsy gibbon for your OS right now? [19:40] stefania: do you have system > preferences > advanced desktop effects settings [19:40] IntuitiveNipple, :P [19:41] I've latest Ubuntu vrsion. [19:41] IntuitiveNipple, not in either. Would it matter if I was running ubuntu 5.10? [19:41] stefania: System - Preferences - appearance [19:41] IntuitiveNipple: any ideas about this magic HD that somehow things its part ofa raid setup? [19:41] stefania: Click on the "Visual Effects" tab. [19:41] I have a folder setup for people to FTP to and when a file is put into that folder I want a email notification sent to me that a file is there. Is there a program that will do that for me? [19:41] I've'extra selected [19:42] but how to 'rotate' desktop like a 3d effects? [19:42] stefania: Click on "normal" for the typical effects...or Extra for the fancy stuff.......or you can download the advanced settings manager that allows you to customize all your effects. [19:42] stefania: do you have system > preferences > advanced desktop effects settings .. there should be a cube effect you can turn on [19:42] CzarAlex: it might mean some things are in a different location... how about trying this: [19:42] stefania: if you do not have that option in preferences... sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [19:42] stefania: Well, when you close a window, does it do a little fancy thing, or does it just disappear? If it does a little fancy thing, you have 3d effects on. [19:42] which package installs the nvidia utility? [19:42] BE back later..gonna have to re-format Ubuntu lol [19:43] thank you === sad`panda is now known as Sad`Panda [19:43] I have a folder setup for people to FTP to and when a file is put into that folder I want a email notification sent to me that a file is there. Is there a program that will do that for me? [19:43] CzarAlex: sudo find / -type f -iname 'moo*' [19:43] stefania: And if that's not what you want, then you just need to tinker with the options to get the effect you're looking for. [19:43] fignuts, nvidia-settings? [19:43] got it, nvidia-xconfig [19:44] BinaryFu, than you very much [19:44] CartoonCat: If it is supposed to be NTFS, check it with ntfsinfo /dev/sda1 [19:44] IntuitiveNipple, just some other references to MOO stuff i have on the box. but nothing cron/task related. [19:44] kelder, also than you. [19:44] I have a folder setup for people to FTP to and when a file is put into that folder I want a email notification sent to me that a file is there. Is there a program that will do that for me? [19:44] is ubuntu a publicly traded company? [19:44] IntuitiveNipple, back when I set this up, i do recall having to fiddle with the 0 * * 1 stuff though. So I know its cron related. [19:44] can I buy stock in it? [19:44] stefania: np at all, happy to help. [19:44] CzarAlex: well, if the fine had that name you suggested, that find command should locate the script [19:45] and by ubuntu, I mean canonical of course [19:45] hoonteke, canonical, im not sure if they are publically traded or not [19:45] CzarAlex: Is it a system task or a user one? [19:45] Hi [19:45] IntuitiveNipple, user perhaps. [19:45] hoonteke, no you cannot [19:45] Both Adept and Synaptic are saying I don't have privelages to apply changes [19:45] Hi does anyone know what to fix sudoers when I can't get a root terminal? [19:45] CzarAlex, if the script in in the local filesystem run find ./ -name / [19:45] but if you had a ridiculous amount of money im sure you could approach them to invest in them [19:45] Any way to remedy this? [19:46] phantomcircuit: k, thankx. bummer [19:46] hog, I'm trying to find what cron job/task called that script weekly. [19:46] hog: he did, didn't find it apparently.

[21:18] i do [21:18] Scunizi: back to the my original question, u think its safe to reinstall grub from the installed ubuntu rather than the live cd? [21:18] there is a good prog [21:18] OdnsRvns Install ccsm sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager Next go to system...pref..advanced desktop effects.... On the first page put check next to rotate cube and desktop cube.. dbl click general options... up closer to the top... click on desktop size and set them to 4, 1 and 1 top to bottom... ctrl+alt+(Left Mouse Button) then move mouse [21:18] gtkpod === Kira is now known as Guest48292 [21:18] Andeh:I use gtkpod [21:18] ah [21:18] I use Amarok and Rythmbox [21:18] whats up fellas [21:18] Hi, what does it mean is mount respondes with "cant read superblock" [21:18] However [21:18] d_in3v1table: you can try.. if it doesn't work go to the live cd. [21:18] Everything used to work [21:18] then i plugged it back into windows VM [21:18] and itunes deleted half my stuff [21:19] (lol silly apple) [21:19] Is there an easy way to turn compiz on and off, *without* losing settings made in compizconfig-settings-manager? [21:19] !enter | Andeh [21:19] Andeh: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [21:19] Jack_Sparrow: Ugh, we should have an official law against multiple distro upgrades, :p [21:19] I find that totem fullscreen doesn't work properly with compiz enabled [21:19] sorry [21:19] and i plugged it back into ubuntu, and put the stuff back. a few days later, amarok couldnt edit the ipod database anymore [21:19] Hello again, is there anyone here who can assist me with downmixing 6->2 channels? [21:19] it could copy over the music but not tell the iPod it was there. Then i tried Rythmbox, it worked perfectly [21:20] But i was a bit angry, if i wanted to put music, i'd have to get what i wanted saved as a playlist from amarok, import in rythmbox and copy it over [21:20] Guest48292, you are mounting with the wrong filesystem option, the filesystem is corrupt, the partition table is corrupt - depends [21:20] so i googled it and apparently it will work again if i reformat the ipod for windows [21:20] which would mean losing all music? [21:20] Guest48292, so, how exactly are you mounting this volume? [21:20] hi [21:20] Im using mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 [21:21] is there a way to get desktops on the top and bottom [21:21] is theiir something wrong with that command? [21:21] Cause i thought it would just rebuild the database through iTunes or something, but when it said it was Syncing i got scared and unplugged it [21:21] the music seems to be there, but does having itunes "format it for windows" really format the drive? [21:22] yes [21:22] format = format [21:22] Guest48292, does /dev/hda1 even exist? [21:22] unop: I believe so, I'll check [21:22] Guest48292, if so, what does this command return? sudo file -s /dev/hda1 [21:23] hello [21:23] Hello all how do i change the background image behind the cube [21:24] unop, then it says: sudo mkdir /media/freecom; sudo mount --bind /media/FREECOM /media/freecom [21:24] mkdir: cannot create directory `/media/freecom': File exists [21:25] unop: Yes it exists, It returns with cannot read due to input output error, is it corrupt? [21:25] xukun, ok, use another name (one that doesn't exist already in /media/) - sudo mkdir /media/something; sudo mount --bind /media/FREECOM /media/something [21:25] unop: sorry, its the command that returns the error [21:25] Guest48292, i should imagine so yea [21:25] my disk space usage just ballooned after audacity froze; how can I find and delete non-file stuff that's taking up space? [21:25] Guest48292, probably a hardware issue [21:26] unop: so that means I cant just format and use it again? [21:26] nrook_nothere, you could list the biggest files on the system - and probably find the culprit that way [21:26] does any1 know why i could be getting Error 15: File not found when typing find /boot/grub/stage1 into grub? [21:26]  Scunizi: will give you link, is there a readme in the unzpped folder ? read it...http://pastebin.com/m64d6c034 [21:26] hello,, i followed every guide i can find on how to get my wireless working on my eeepc 900 and ubuntu 8.10 ,, The strange thing is when i install the drivers it dosent give me any errors and after the reboot you think it should work but when i do iwconfig it says cant find any wireless extentions [21:27] Guest48292, i dunno, i/o errors usually indicate hardware problems [21:27] er [21:27] Guest48292, you could try formatting it again [21:27] unop: k thanks\ === nrook_nothere is now known as nrook [21:27] here is one of the guides that should work [21:27] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes#Wireless [21:28] Does ubuntu have support for TV cards? I mean like... I don't want to install Windows media center :P [21:28] unop: is there a command-line command to do that? I'm trying using it with the GNOME search, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right [21:28] if the package supports it yes [21:28] So. I have all my music nicely organised on my iPod after 3 days of nicely organizing it and now iTunes wants to format it. [21:28] If I don't format it, it won't work with Amarok, and if I do, i lose all the music from it. Any ideas? [21:28] Moose: did u try mythtv? [21:29] nrook, du -ab ~/ | sort -rn | head -n 25 [21:29] unop sorry but I think this command is not ok becouse even after I rm -r /media/freecom it recreates the freecom directory after I run that command and it also gives me the error [21:29] unop: actually, something weird happened when I tried that earlier - I found a huge (~1GB) "core" file, rm'd it... but df didn't suggest I got any space back [21:29] My idea is to make a new amarok library on my ubuntu partition and copy all the music there, format the ipod and restore it. Would that work? [21:29] problem: how to get rd of broken dazuko --its blocking my apt!!! tried: -apt remove(purge), dpkg-r,m-a clean, dpkg -r,sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a [21:30] nrook, hmm - well, try the command again perhaps [21:30] does any1 know why i could be getting Error 15: File not found when typing find /boot/grub/stage1 into grub?

[21:31] rythmbox couldnt even change ID3 tags on my iPod, lol. [21:32] unop: du -ab ~/ | sort -rn | head -n 25 worked, but it only showed me big files I already knew existed; I tried / instead, and I got a weird "sort: write failed: /tmp/sort0pxe0g: No space left on device" error [21:33] unop, thanks for your help. but I will just leave things for a while [21:33] xukun, no worries [21:33] nrook, you're running out of space on /tmp [21:35] Hi. how can i make nautilus and gnome wrap long file names? [21:35] unop: does /tmp get its own partition that would let it run out of space separately? [21:35] How do you make KeyBoard ShortCuts like Oxa1 work?

[21:36] hi over there [21:36] I'm using linux and mainly gnome and I have an encrypted HDD that I regularly browse through. Is it possible that certain programs (such as nautilus) are storing cached folder/file names or thumbnails of my encrypted disc that may give an attacker useful information about the contents of the disc? [21:36] hi [21:36] How can i make nautilus and gnome wrap long file names? [21:36] anyone in here familiar with ncftp ? how can i get it to use SSL AUTH? [21:37] ZeetreX: Hold On I"m looking [21:37] Flare183, ty [21:37] nrook, hmm - i guess that's because you have run out of space on the device that generally houses /tmp - and as a result the kernel has created a virtual filesystem - probably housed in RAM - i'm not very sure [21:37] * vak is crazy enough to Debootstrap from OpenSuSE to Ubuntu8.04 LTS Server Edition (64bit) === cdeszaq is now known as gogzmer [21:37] * vak seeks gurus to guide this process [21:38] unop: now that's weird. is there some way I can clean out /tmp? [21:38] vak, you are better off asking the question, on one line and someone will help you [21:38] nrook, hmm, rm /tmp/* #probably [21:39] unop: would that do terrible things to whatever I have open at the moment, or would it fail on that stuff? [21:39] Whenever a perl script or subversion runs, I am getting warnings about language things. Specifically, perl complains about LANGUAGE and LC_ALL being unset, and says that it is falling back to the standard locale("C") [21:40] nrook, it is potentially destructive - but you have to do it if you want to complete your objectives of cleaning out the disk [21:40] any1 would like to guide a debootstrap of Ubuntu from OpenSuSE 10 ? Here are details: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5836547#post5836547 [21:40] nrook, so, it's best if you close down as many programs now [21:40] problem on > as its saying for removal I have to reinstall DAZUKO i get the following error: error: capabilities are built-in to the kernel: you will need to recompile a kernel with capabilities as a kernel module, bobertos [21:40] Hey there.

[21:41] Flare183, saw it before, couldn't help [21:41] Gecko: I never had to, just check if theres no 64-variant [21:42] Gecko, it shouldn't work - and you should not try and force anything [21:42] !chroot | Gecko [21:42] Gecko: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box [21:42] unop, do u know how can i make gnome to wrap long file names?

This is, however, a proprietary app (amazon.com mp3 downloader), and seeing as x86_64 should run i386 as long as I have the apropriate i386 libraries, I should be able to do it, right?

[22:10] no_more_Win_to_W, mine works fine with Rhythmbox Muisc Player [22:10] Just wondering wth could have happened lol. I thought maybe it was Cut, but there's nothing in the Paste clipboard [22:10] Alfarin: it worked fine before untill now [22:11] something you've installed must've been mis-configured or mis-configured xorg some how... were you trying to install anything just before this happened? [22:11] sparr_w: Ah, my apologies, I'm slightly sleep deprived. [22:11] LordC locate uses a database which does not update instantly [22:11] try find [22:11] ah ok [22:11] ;( [22:11] bobertdos, get some sleep [22:12] lol [22:12] unop: 3 pakets removed, no change.....

It also looks like everything else in ubuntu is in /usr/, so I'm wondering if there's any harm in just letting it go to /usr/local/, or if I should point it to /usr/? [22:48] gnu_d: you stop the network in that xterm? and than gnome starts?! [22:48] Centinti: go to wine webie and look there for what it can and cant run [22:48] If some programs dont work, I can make my own programs but still [22:48] DasEi, you can thank me by not installing something like that again :) [22:48] Centinti: Are u a programewr?

Welcome! [22:49] C++, C#, VB6, VB.NEt [22:49] dany_21a: so, do I must disable network manager in Sessions ? [22:49] cool [22:49] gnu_d: have you checked the gdm logfile? /var/log/gdm/:0.log [22:50] yuppers [22:50] whenever I copy a file to my mp3 player, it goes on but with only read permissions, so it's got a lock on it. I think have to manually change the permissions. I want the files to go on open by default. How do I do this? [22:50] k sorry tritium [22:50] dany_21a: just a second [22:50] but I'm doing a little bit of research on ubuntu before I decide to install it on my lapto [22:50] chilli0: no problem, buddy :) [22:50] gnu_d: wanted just to be sure, that you havent selected "rescue mode" (ie. this starts just a xterm) [22:50] dany_21a: I know that [22:50] ok [22:51] how many little month-preview calendars should show up on the left in evolution? [22:51] maco: you can adjust it [22:51] dany_21a: I can't see any problems in the log [22:51] dany_21a: just brightness warning or something. === linux_ is now known as DareDevil [22:52] gnu_d try to remove all network-related panel-applications from the gnome-panel [22:52] tritium: how? it's suddenly showing 2 when it only ever showed 1 before [22:52] dany_21a: There is only the default one.

[22:54] gnu_d: but try to remove it, so you can triage your problem :) [22:54] i see the problem, i'm copying straight from a cd ... which is of course write only [22:54] dany_21a: else I need to open terminal each time, not that is hard, but I need to set it right for a use for a mortal. [22:55] so, it's copying the same permissions [22:55] :D [22:55] tritium: thank you === Pici` is now known as Pici [22:55] hmmm, can i fix this ? [22:55] maco: any time [22:55] I'm having a timeout problem with dhcpd3 when netboot installing. The initial installer loads fine, but times out the second time it goes to get a dhcp answer. It's sporadic, sometimes restarting dhcpd3 helps but not always. Anyone else know about this? [22:57] I'm having trouble getting kismet to work with my Atheros-based wireless card. I've told kismet to use source madwifi_ag, but it returns an error stating that ath0 cannot accept madwifi-ng controls, and furthermore get_mode does not return errors, and the program dies shortly afterwords [22:57] CokeNCode: Well, if your songs are all coming from read-only media, there's not going to be a wonderful way to change that. Of course, the fastest thing to do is to use the terminal and chmod to recursively change permissions on all the files at once. [22:57] does anyone know a way to samba share inside hidden folders (eg: inside the .wine folder) [22:58] Hi, I'm trying to come up with a good way of generating a disk image and backing it up (so I can restore the entire OS from scratch in case of disaster). How hould I go about doing this? Should I generate the image using a Live CD? rsync from the OS while [22:58] !info partimage > aar [22:58] aar, please see my private message [22:58] aar: remastersys [22:59] bobertdos, lucax thanks! [22:59] Sk8rdude: maybe you could make a non-hidden symbolic link to it -- but Samba would need to follow it. not sure what the default is [23:00] im having problems getting samba to follow a sym link [23:00] tried it already :p [23:00] thanks bobertdos ... makes sense ... was hoping there was a way to force it to copy with full permissions by default [23:00] A basic hole in my *nix knowledge, when is it safe to do 'someprogram foo.txt', that is where the standard output is redirected to the same file as standard input is taken from? Never? always? Sometimes? If sometimes, what are the conditions? [23:00] hello. i'd like to connect 2 pc's x gateway (huawei) any help? [23:00] If someone could help me with my boot configurations I'd really appreciate it...I have three OS's installed and I cannot for the life of me get them to boot correctly [23:01] Sk8rdude: then perhaps some fuse filesystem would work [23:01] Is there any ubuntu ps3 iso with working wifi? [23:01] zenwryly: I would not recommend that practice in general [23:01] mount the folder somewhere else? [23:01] iter: do you know anything of the particulars? [23:02] Sk8rdude: sure. you could use sshfs, but I would think there would be something simpler [23:02] hmm [23:02] zenwryly: if you know exactly what you are doing it's ok but if there are questions as to what's going to happen use another file [23:02] Is there a significant performance benefit in using the ext2 filesystem over ext3? (I'm installing on a 128mb / 400MHz system) [23:03] what is the best torrent program for ubuntu? [23:03] Hrvatski1: what do you want out of your torrent client? [23:03] CokeNCode: I have one idea, but I'm not sure it would work out the way I'm thinking. [23:03] !best | Hrvatski1 [23:03] Hrvatski1: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [23:03] rtorrent [23:03] just the usual [23:03] i mean something reliable and small [23:03] anyone know if anyone out there is hosting a repository of nightly firefox 3.1 builds? (or if backports contains anything significantly newer than 3.0) [23:03] ok [23:03] well deluge is pretty good [23:03] I like Transmission, but I haven't tried others. [23:03] iter: well I'm wondering what the specifics are or where I can learn about them [23:04] zenwryly: it's entirely dependent on your someprogram [23:04] bobertdos, should I run partimage from a live cd on an umounted drive, or is it safe to generate the image from an active (i.e. mounted) partition for backup purposes? [23:04] however I can think of a lot of bad conditions when reading from and simultaneously writing to the same file [23:05] thanks [23:05] aar: Definitely from a live session, definitely not safe to do it on a mounted partition... [23:05] bobertdos, ok thanks [23:05] Hmm. Is there a way to get my monitor's refresh rates for xorg.conf from my currently running install? [23:06] iter: how so, what is it about someprogram that might cause problems? What internal affect this? What might the problems be? Where might I find documentation? [23:06] ola [23:06] alo [23:07] zenwryly: I would think it would depend on the filesystem. Don't try with FAT32! [23:08] jimcooncat: hmm, ok, thats a good lead [23:08] zenwryly: your question is very broad, but as I interpret it you are asking "why can't I read from and simultaneously write to the same file" -- there are plenty of potential pitfalls in doing this but again it just depends on how the app in particular handles (or doesn't) this case [23:08] zenwryly: best bet is to output to a temp file, then replace your original with the tempfile [23:08] magnetron: !best only applies if there is more than one application to perform the task in question. or even one, sadly :( [23:09] Im trying to start an application on my secondary screen with "DISPLAY=:1 xterm" but no sucsess have enabeld tcp connections in gdm and run xhos+ but still no luck any ideas [23:09] jimcooncat: yeah, I know, I have just always wondered what the factors are behind it. [23:09] sparr_w, keep your ubuntu rants in #debian , please [23:09] unop: did you get my thank ? [23:10] DasE1, errm, i guess so yea - you're welcome anyway (just as long as you stay away from dirty software) [23:10] :) [23:10] lol [23:11] zenwryly: I would think that would be somewhere in the filesystem, and the kernel's support for it. Type of journaling used, for instance may cause or relieve the contention. [23:11] !wifi > carandraug [23:11] carandraug, please see my private message [23:11] zenwryly: try this: 'touch t; echo 1 >> t; echo 2 >> t; cat t' [23:11] hi i want help make a board [23:11] like a with micro chips [23:11] zenwryly: then, try 'cat t' and see what it does to t [23:11] iter: cool, thanks [23:12] any one knows any think about ok make a board for taping? [23:12] iter: empty :) [23:12] hi guys! it seems like the 2.6.24-19-generic in hardy only sees 2G RAM out of 4G. why is that? what kernel should i use? [23:13] hi. i just installed ubuntu (am running on live cd right now) on my USB external HD but whenever i try to load from rEFIt it just gets stuck on the black screen with a blinking white line. any suggestions? [23:13] Guys any1 know why my screen freeze, when i login in ubuntu ? [23:13] iter: so on the most basic commands, its destructive, very informative, thansk [23:13] if I'm running a program in terminal for testing purposes how can i END it without having to close out the terminal? [23:13] zenwryly: no prob [23:13] no1?:( [23:13] fwaokda, ctrl+c usually does it [23:13]  fwaokda: press ctrl-c [23:13] When I use genisoimage to make a DVD, OSX can't see any files on the disk (though the disk mounts fine). I'm using the same command I used in Edgy, Feisty and Gutsy. Any ideas? [23:14] anyone know how to increase the brightness of movie playback ? [23:14] milostrife, i usually just raise my gamma, because i'm lazy :x [23:14] anybody? [23:14] hi guys. [23:14] milostrife, that's "xgamma -gamma 1.8" in a terminal, if you wanna try it [23:14] (1.0 is normal) [23:15] milostrife: you can do it easily with mplayer by modifying its config file, but i don't know in other players [23:15] I want to somehow authenticate my users against active directory's LDAP service. [23:15] ceil420, DasE1 , thanks [23:15] mlaci, how? :x [23:15] ceil420, i've tried that with vlc it just crashes or plays really slow and in totem no matter what i do it's still dark :S [23:15] I have heard that at some point I may have a problem with having .login, .profiles files loaded properly, because the home dir may have be problematic while logging in. [23:15] mlaci, lol im not that confident with things like that atm moment [23:16] Is it yet another urban legend, and I simply need to make sure that pam is setting up things in the right order, or is there indeed a real problem ? [23:16] hey guys, all of a sudden my sound is cutting out. when this happens i cant even open windows like volume controls or a console. any ideas what that would be? [23:16] milostrife, cp ~/.mplayer/mplayer.conf ~/.mplayer/mplayer.conf_BACKUP [23:16] milostrife, if you break something, just restore it [23:17] i've tried changing it in multimedia systems slector and nothing has changed [23:17] ceil420, ok could you talk me through it step by step please? === Kabaka is now known as Kabaka[A] [23:17] /msg ubottu etiquette [23:17] /msg ubottu etiquette [23:17] i'm having troubles booting up on my freshly installed ubuntu. msg me if you want to help. it'll be much appreciated [23:17] milostrife, that command will just back up your mplayer.conf file so that you can change the original without fear of messing up mplayer [23:18] ceil420, milostrife, put brigthness=5 in a new line of ~/.mplayer/config [23:18] milostrife, i don't know the syntax of the conf file [23:18] Guys any1 know why my screen freeze, when i login in ubuntu ? [23:18] mlaci, oh, it uses config by default? in debian, i have both :x wasn't sure which it used [23:18] (cheers) [23:18] am I voiced? [23:18] i guess so [23:18] does 1440 in the end of this command: mkfs -t ext2 dizzey1 -m 0 /dev/fd0H1440 1440 mean nr of blocks to be used dreamedge for the file system? or am I wrong? [23:19] memeemeee: Yes. :P [23:19] memeemeee, you don't need to be voiced to talk in here. only when channelmode m is set [23:19] ceil420, mlaci im confused now lol i have no idea where to find files you've specified? :S im that much of a noob lol [23:19] anyone feel like helping me decide which hardware to buy? [23:19] sure [23:19] milostrife, ~/.mplayer/config [23:19] I am a new (very amped) ubuntu user [23:19] memeemeee, that's offtopic [23:19] lay off the coffee [23:19] unop: not necessarily [23:19] or /home/milostrife/.mplayer/config [23:19] or ${HOME}/.mplayer/config [23:20] NickRead, you're welcome to chat about this in #ubuntu-offtopic [23:20] unop: If they want to know what hardware does(n't) work with Ubuntu, then that's fine [23:20] Any Linux Distro suggestions to install on a old IBM Thinkpad @ 700mhz w/(128m ram) 20gb HD ? [23:20] Does anybody know if there's a way to get the horizontal/vertical refresh rates from a running Xubuntu systerm? [23:20] (Systerm being fancy-talk for system.) [23:20] that's what i want NickRead [23:20] mEck0, i'm surprised if that command even works [23:20] oh wait i don't want to help, i thought it was in the mythtv channel and we'd talk home theater [23:20] ceil420, cant find it in milostrife folder?:S [23:21] Unbe, is there an xvidtune program in xubuntu repos? [23:21] memeemeee: Have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/ [23:21] i just discovered that program on my system today [23:21] I have had a bit of trouble with the ATI driver on my Presario M2000 [23:21] milostrife, your home folder [23:21] yeah cant seem to find it [23:21] milostrife, echo $HOME [23:21] I want to be sure if the ubuntu community recommends a different video card [23:22] Hi [23:22] memeemeee: Ubuntu doesn't make recommendations like that. [23:22] ceil420: Sweet. It gives me a modeline--I'd thought those were no longer common practice? [23:22] I'm happy to move to another channel if need be unop === Commie_Cary[CPCN is now known as Commie_Cary [23:22] Unbe, *shrug* i just glanced at the program earlier [23:22] Unbe, had you asked yesterday, i wouldn't've had an answer for you :p [23:22] memeemeee, it would be better - this channel is quite busy [23:23] where then? [23:23] ceil420: Hehe. Thanks anyway--movement in the right direction. :) [23:23] np :) [23:23] memeemeee, #ubuntu-offtopic - you can invite NickRead in too [23:23] ceil420, sorry not getting what you mean at all ?:S:( [23:23] hey guys, came to you yesterday with an svn issue, figured out the problem, my GUI svn clients (yes all of them) dont show me a login prompt....anyone know why or how I can reset it to display a login prompt? [23:23] Hey boys my ubuntu don't want to detect my nvidia 9600gt ;( [23:24] does anyone where to order more than one cd to give to others ???? [23:24] memeemeee, people in ##hardware might be able to help you, but they may be more about Windows and gaming. i don't pay much attention in there to be honest [23:24] can anyone tell me how to get to the GDM settings? when i boot into ubuntu the login window (where i input my password) is waaay off screen. i cant even see what i'm typing for username and password...i need to be able to specify the resolution i want for the login window is that's in any way possible [23:24] louchewidlin, i believe you can enter that persons address details on the shipit webpage [23:25] louchewidlin, the amount of CDs you get as one person are limited - quite obviously [23:25] milostrife, do you have a terminal window open? [23:25] DuKeS tri to get in text mode (ctrl+alt+F1) then tipe, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop , after this sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [23:25] a good mediaplayer? [23:25] unop: there are to give to the libery lol [23:26] Rindae, mplayer [23:26] louchewidlin, but it's ever so easy to clone a CD or write an ISO - the cost of CDs nowadays is minimal and ubuntu prefers you do that unless you really can't. [23:26] having trouble booting Linux from rEFIt on an intel mac. msg me if your interested on making me happy. :) [23:26] louchewidlin, but it costs money to have CDs made - and you have to respect that [23:26] in now laterrrrrrr [23:26] louclkj [23:26] bah [23:27] mib_w5377z: will typing that first command make my screen go all black? lol cuz if it does i might need to write down those commands on a piece of paper:P [23:27] yes you have to write them :D [23:27] ok..brb [23:27] hello, i'd like to connect 2 pcs x gateway . any help? [23:28] Question, any Howto on auto cpu freq when on battery for Ubuntu 8.04.1 AMD64 on Lenovo T61? [23:28] ceil420, for music [23:28] bbt1: Is that shorthand for 2 PC's through a router? [23:29] DCC SEND "startkeylogger" 0 0 0 0 [23:29] its trough a gateway (huawei) [23:30] trough a gateway (huawei) [23:30] bbt1: oh yeah, that, everyone seems kinda tied up right now; I'm not sure we'll be very helpful. [23:30] Anybody know about this DCC SEND "startkeylogger" 0 0 0 thing? [23:32] Hey does anyone know of a Application for Ubuntu that will display a icon that can blink on my desktop to show when my hard drive is reading/writing? I can't seem to hook up my hard drive light on my tower [23:32] nope that didnt help with the gdm login screen [23:33] i ma setting up a FTP server using vsftd, now anonymous remote users can connect, but they cannot find any file in the root folder [23:33] my computer slows down at times, i'm trying to figure out if its my hard drive(s) lagging behind or not... [23:33] brandan_: check out the krell suite: search your package manager (synaptic, or something like it) for "krell" [23:33] is there any way to specify the resolution i want for the login screen window? it's waaaay off center i cant see nothing but the background [23:34] brandan_: also you can add a system monitor utility to your gnome panel (if you use gnome) === stooj_ is now known as StooJ [23:35] how do I do that, I can't find krell anywhere in Synaptic [23:35] It's just not there... [23:36] gkrellm perhaps brandan_ [23:36] !find gkrellm [23:36] Found: gkrellm, gkrellm-alltraxclock, gkrellm-bfm, gkrellm-hdplop, gkrellm-i8k (and 16 others) [23:37] austin eh [23:37] brandan_: Yeah, I was just about to do what dr_willis did. Keep in mind that very frequently generic Linux packages are under specific names, varying from distro to distro. [23:38] gkrellm - has been its name under every disrto ive seen. :) theres also that conky program that can show lots of things [23:38] Hi, Im am an total newbie with ubuntu, but I have a major issue, can someone help me [23:38] unitlar: Go ahead and ask. [23:39] help with login window anyone? i want it to be displayed at a certain resolution, as it is right now i can't see anything i type for username + password [23:39] !empathy [23:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about empathy [23:39] okay, I installed it, and it ran perfectly, then I updatet everything at rebootet, now I see the loading bar, and it shuts down, leaving me with a promt [23:39] please someone help me...no svn clients on ubuntu 64bit 8.04 ever ask for login info I just get a 403 permission denied right away I need this to be fixed or I cant work!! anyone have any idea??? [23:40] Does anyone have Empathy working with MSN ? [23:40] zeelot: you are 100% sure you've got the password and everything correctly [23:40] it doesnt ask for one [23:40] unitlar there is something wrong with your Xorg configuration, check the Xorg logs [23:40] unitlar: a ttyl login prompt? [23:40] I have 2.23.92 and it wont connect me [23:41] Myrtti: someone my svn client decides to skip login and try to commit without [23:41] how do I do this? [23:41] somehow* [23:41] unitlar, are you familiar with the command line? [23:41] like the dos promt? [23:41] unitlar, yes, similar [23:42] unitlar, did you install anything recently? [23:42] zeelot: I suggest you try the commandline svn client [23:42] can´t say, that I have a lot of experience with command line. I just updatet everything, that I could [23:43] I tried to run it in safe mode, but it jumped out also [23:43] zeelot: what svn clent do you use? [23:43] sanguisdex: all of them do the same, including IDEs...it has to be something with my subversion settings [23:44] unitlar: grep "EE" /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:44] i have an issue with pulseaudio and my audigy platinum card, the pulseaudio volume meter shows that there is audio, but, i dont hear anything, yes the speakers are plugged into the right port [23:45] unitlar, oh, you also need to login on that black screen that looks like dos [23:45] I just type it in command line?? [23:45] normal user name and password [23:45] yeah in the command line [23:45] hopefully I've got you looking at the right file ... [23:45] grep is a utility that looks for phrases and words within files [23:45] what is the code for logging in? [23:46] how do I find out detailed information about current installed hardware (like system profiler in OSX)? [23:46] you type your username, press enter [23:46] type your password [23:46] press enter [23:46] Are there any programs for Ubuntu similar to autohotkey for Windows? In this case, I want to map a shortcut to outputting arbitrary text [23:46] Like ^l outputting a string of lorem ipsum [23:46] Typh: its called Super [23:46] what do I do, when I find the file? [23:47] all you need to do is type grep "EE" /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:47] gaintsura: There's a piece of software called Super? Have a link? That's not a great name for SEO :) [23:47] oh, nvm, Typh there is a keyboard shortcut mapper on ubuntu, and if that doesn't work, compiz has keyboard shortcuts as well [23:47] typh lol [23:47] okay, will do, or I will come back and ask again [23:47] also, unitlar read this: http://linux.byexamples.com/archives/319/command-line-tutorial-for-beginners/ [23:48] will help out a bit with CLI and how it works :) [23:48] unitlar, good luck [23:48] in the sound preferences, if i select alsa, i hear the test beep, but when i select pulseaudio, the meter says theres sound, but i hear nothing [23:49] sakuramboo: why do you need pulse ? [23:49] gaintsura: sadly neither of those seems to let you define custom actions [23:49] sakuramboo: Do you have anything else open while you're testing? [23:49] bobertdos, no [23:50] Typh: compiz's shortcuts do [23:50] DasE1, i dont need pulse, but i hate screwing around with this stuff because something always breaks and im forced to reinstall [23:50] its in general options->keyboard shortcuts typh [23:50] gaintsura: I must be looking in the wrong place. [23:50] how can I update my kernel?? :) [23:51] sakuramboo: alsa works fine for all my needs, have a certain sound-issue ? [23:51] is a easy way to do it? :) [23:51] Typh, open the configure compiz dialog [23:51] sakuramboo: In this case, we recommend sticking with Alsa. Pulse is new and still fairly buggy. [23:51] i was using onboard sound and didnt have any problems, but i need the front panel to my audigy [23:51] typh: select general options [23:51] gaintsura: Yeah, I'm in general options. [23:52] typh: its under the tab commands [23:52] DasE1, alsa doesnt work well with the onboard sound card [23:52] first section is configuring the commands, second is the key [23:53] Hi everyone. [23:53] sakuramboo: (cli) sudo apt-get install pastebinit [23:53] typh: hope that helps, I've gotta run [23:53] gaintsura: I'll play around, thanks [23:54] sakuramboo: lspci > lspci.txt && pastebinit lspci [23:54] sakuramboo:give url from terminal in here [23:54] sakuramboo: lspci > lspci.txt && pastebinit lspci.txt ŝry [23:54] http://pastebin.com/f487315b2 [23:55] line 23 [23:55] anyone know if I can disable / remap the 'ctrl-alt-Fx' keys? [23:55] i.e. i have a virtual machine, and running excel is kinda hard because I would like 'ctrl-alt-F9' [23:56] hey guys. i want to fresh install ubuntu on this 80gb sata drive. but only use up maybe 40gb for ubuntu. then i want to install xp on the rest. whats the best method for this. [23:56] hey can anyone give me the terminal line to get x2chat on ubuntu [23:57] drhe|lap: Install XP first, otherwise you will want to shoot yourself later :p [23:57] **irc [23:57] hrmm [23:57] i want to isntall ubuntu first. as i am having issues win xp picking up the onboard sata drivers for the 80gb. [23:58] drhe|lap, you familiar with partitioning etc? [23:58] i am with windows [23:58] but with linux. it seem rather odd. [23:58] drhe|lap: you will still have that problem later, the solution is to slipstream a newer version of the disk drivers into windows or use a driver disk (F6 at startup) === The_JoKeR is now known as SplinTer0616_ [23:58] similar concept, different names - install Ubuntu, let it do auto formatting, then modify the partition tables to leave yourself 40GB [23:59] drhe|lap: older XP discs won't detect SATA drives [23:59] ok [23:59] hrmm. [23:59] drhe|lap: you might google sata driver pack and/or nlite for more info [23:59] hello guys [23:59] Can anybody help me figure out how to circumvent/disable Xubuntu's "low graphics" failsafe mode for X? [23:59] how do you install GTK+ [23:59] Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me with a screen resolution problem?
