[00:00] Ok so I downloaded a GTK2 theme, there's a bunch of images in it, still cannot open anything in there with the Gnome theme manager... [00:00] d4nii: i use "alsa" not pulse audio? [00:00] * luminerd is reminded why he loves OS X [00:00] oh, thats it, ctrl+alt+[left/right] [00:00] luminerd: osx is good because its made for the hardware in a mac [00:00] thank you very much! [00:00] I mean how complex can it be.. I just want a theme that will open with the default in Gnome [00:00] ActionParsnip: WHY IS THIS SO HARD! [00:00] hello [00:00] tpg: very strange, perhaps 'sudo apt-get remove' and 'sudo apt-get install' firefox. [00:00] luminerd: go to system -> preferences -> appearance and drag the tar.gz in there [00:00] luminerd: if you buy right, everything will work out of the box (like mine) [00:00] ActionParsnip: I know they have a huge advantage because of that, but the fact is it "just works" :) [00:00] WDC: its not, its just different [00:01] ActionParsnip: this isn't even a hardware issue [00:01] luminerd: all my stuff just works [00:01] ActionParsnip: I put deb http://website// and it didn't do it [00:01] It won't work on any box, no matter what [00:01] I need to know if is there a way to configure my keyboard so when I press alt+n give me an ñ [00:01] how do I close a port when no app is running on that port?

[00:02] hi, i'm having some interesting sound issues in hardy; the sound widget in the panel doesn't seem to actually work [00:02] In this case it wasn't a matter of not working just my own not knowing how things work :P I was unzipping it first [00:02] i can slide the sound widget up and down in the panel but it doesn't change the output at all [00:02] i have playback problems on my computer (i cant listen to music in rythmbox and in the same time hear the sound effects in my favourite games in firefox) [00:02] I can see it open on firestarter [00:02] <_Carrie_> is it possible to test a 56k modem when you have no live phone lines in your house? lol [00:02] i don't really know what to set my sound preferences to [00:02] how can i list all the active daemon on my box ?

[00:05] ActionParsnip: No i meant when I went apt-get update it said 404 on the package [00:05] bah [00:05] ActionParsnip, um, that seems like it's not what I'm after. For a start, I should just be able to use the right click > sharing options menu to set up shares [00:05] <_Carrie_> is it possible to test a 56k modem when you have no live phone lines in your house? lol I know there's a way of doing such a thing in windows (can't remember what it was called).

I've never seen it before and it's slowing my boot a good bit [00:08] CorbinFox: to run gui apps as root with users settnigs you use gksu [00:08] ActionParsnip: what's interesting is if i open up alsamixer in a terminal, and then i switch the devices that the panel thing is using, i can see it's adjusting the volume on two of the outputs, but neither of them is the right one [00:08] <_Carrie_> ActionParsnip, isn't that gksudo? [00:08] CorbinFox: if someone tells you to sudo gedit or similar they are idiots [00:09] ActionParsnip, I can already browse network shares, and the option is turned on already - I just can't browse this machine's shares [00:09] _Carrie_: gksudo uses roots settings, not the users [00:09] <_Carrie_> ActionParsnip, ah :) that's good to know lol [00:09] quick question... does virtualX allow me to SSH with a GUI???

[00:10] Fish-Face, I restarted the computer, but nothing happens? Can I somehow boot from a console and manually start the x-server? [00:10] ActionParsnip: Doesn't work either. Nevermind [00:11] Freakin_Busy: are you forwarding X server [00:11] i'm asking if virtualX allows that? [00:11] WDC: you need a repo with irssi on it [00:11] ActionParsnip, I see, thanks for help [00:11] cant turn to default ubuntu theme, the metacity theme stills ever :( [00:11] joebob777as7: yep looks like xinerama does that actually you need to use something else I believe for what you want besides xinerama [00:11] ActionParsnip: Compiling form source is a nightmare too. Why can't I use the synaptic? [00:11] sufs, you can do what you want (you are already booted, btw) yes === mija is now known as mija_na === hasnain is now known as Hasnain === Hasnain is now known as HasNaiN [00:12] sufs, you should be presented with a login screen, but with text rather than graphics [00:12] is there a way to compleetely remove and reinstall Rhythmbox [00:12] i can't boot when i try to attach more than one hd - what should i do?

[00:14] Fish-Face, After the ubuntu progress bar is done it tells me something like /no signal found/ [00:14] Hello! [00:14] Oh right [00:14] My name is Moisés [00:15] Fish-Face, and the proceeds to go into sleep mode [00:15] I1m from Brazil... [00:15] ActionParsnip: nope. when all the hds are connected the bios doesn't recognize any of them [00:15] sufs, do you press ctrl-alt-backspace at that point? [00:15] hey guys Im wondering how to update my video drivers can anyone give me a hand? I have nvidia driver 169.12 and would like to update to the latest [00:15] Magnu1: ae they PATA or SATA? [00:15] Magnu: or SCSI [00:15] ActionParsnip: sata [00:15] I'm new here..and in Ubuntu === gaurav__ is now known as gaurav_ [00:16] Fish-Face, you mean after teh screen goes into sleep - after reboot? [00:16] I have a persistent connection from inside out (on another computer wich is a server) to an address wich I didnt connect to explicitly, trhough a port wich I didnt open, and I cant determine wich app is using it. Everyday the address it connects to, changes. Sometimes, also the port, usually its 3 connections like these visibble on firestarter, and not visible from netstat. I would appreciate some sugestions . thankyou. [00:16] Magnu1: try changing the jumpers on the back to make them master and slave [00:16] welcome then mha_ :) [00:16] thank's [00:16] sufs, yes. what's probably happening is that you made a mistake in the config file, and the X server is sending the screen something it doesn't like [00:16] ActionParsnip: i don't think my hds got jumpers [00:16] sufs, or perhaps nothing at all [00:16] ActionParsnip: at least not all of them [00:16] Magnu1: well its offtopic in here as this i ubuntu help not hardware help [00:16] sufs, if you kill the x server, you should get back to a text screen [00:16] i was wondering, since Linux "ubuntu" is said to be better than windows (this should mean in everything), THEN? why do i get degraded performance while basically using my computer (browsing internet, reading pdf files?) why? someone help me [00:17] sufs, or you could use the Live CD again to try and fix it [00:17] DEViUS: its never been said to be better than windows [00:17] that would probably be easiest [00:17] (btw this is happening on dapper) [00:17] I'm have a problem with my desktop HP and may Ubuntu [00:17] um Im pretty sure you dont need to set jumpers for sata drives just make sure your boot drive is connected to sata0 [00:17] ActionParsnip: i apologize and try to find some hardware help, thx anyway [00:17] DEViUS: thats an opinion of whoever wrote what you have read [00:17] hey guys Im wondering how to update my video drivers can anyone give me a hand? I have nvidia driver 169.12 and would like to update to the latest [00:17] Fish-Face, is the a repair tool? I currently on the 7.10 live-CD but my install is Hardy [00:17] I'm running WoW under wine and it seems to be missing the textures for the ground? any ideas? [00:18] Fish-Face, is my other configs lost_ [00:18] sufs, no, probably just a little wrong :] [00:18] wng-, try #winehq they would probably be able to help you a little better [00:18] ActionParsnip: nope, its been written throught books, reviews, forums (everywhere) that performance of hardware is better in Linux [00:18] and if it's lost, unless you were doing something weird with it, you can just reset it [00:18] wng-, thats where I went for all my wine troubles :D [00:18] DEViUS, do you have some links? [00:19] DEViUS: thats still opinion. If linux was better than windows then why are people using an "inferior" product === cory is now known as Guest94252 [00:19] sufs, are you using a different computer now? [00:19] DEViUS: no OS is better than any other, both have advantages and disadvantages [00:19] Fish-Face, well uhm, no [00:19] Fish-Face, I only have acess to one atm [00:19] DEViUS: you need to configuer your system better and make sure you are fully updated. You may want to install graphics drivers to make your desktop smoother [00:19] exit [00:19] kk, are you in windows atm or linux? [00:19] gah, sorry... [00:19] ActionParsnip: im taking about h/w performance [00:20] DEViUS, what do you mean by that [00:20] Fish-Face, can\t I edit the files from the live CD? In witch case, what files must I check? [00:20] DEViUS: its config and compatibility [00:20] ActionParsnip: do you think im missing something, if so plz help me locate appropriate drivers and libraries [00:20] sufs, yes you can, but it will be difficult to know how to fix the file in question. You are looking at the same file you edited last time, though [00:20] hey guys Im wondering how to update my video drivers can anyone give me a hand? I have nvidia driver 169.12 and would like to update to the latest [00:20] my guess is you made a typo or something last time [00:21] DEViUS: well i have no idea what hardwrae you have, id run lspci and start getting sorted for drivers for a start [00:21] ActionParsnip: ok [00:21] DEViUS: id also run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [00:21] Bidget, you may to wait for the next release next month. it will have updated drivers.. Unless you just HAVE to have the latest now.. then.. well there used to be a wiki page covering that topic and the pitfalls of doing so, [00:21] DEViUS: that will give you the latest updated === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [00:22] dr_willis, well Im not really sure if I need them but I am trying to get my component out working so I can use my tv with my computer as a second display but I just cant get it to work [00:22] DEViUS: and for the record, I find mandriva "better" than ubuntu, and definately better than windows, but thats my experience [00:22] dr_willis, so I thought maybe updating the drivers might help [00:22] DEViUS: doesnt make it the gospel truth === cory is now known as Guest87731 [00:22] ActionParsnip: true [00:22] ActionParsnip: i have done all these: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [00:22] DEViUS: you need to leave the word "best" well alone in computing [00:22] Bidget, ive had tv out working for ages.. but it may depend on your specific video card. I normally enable twinview, and use the nvida-settings tool to enable the tv out [00:23] is anyone here knowledgeable with audacity? it won't record from my mic.. even tho it does work and i can hear myself thru my speakers [00:23] DEViUS: ok so is your system upgrading [00:23] dr_willis, yeah I get an error when I do that talking something about metamode... let me pastebin it for you [00:23] dr_willis, I have an nvidia 8800gt as well if that matters [00:23] ActionParsnip: it is fully upgraded === cory_ is now known as COdprboy [00:23] Bidget, i got an 8800gtsxxx [00:23] dr_willis, but yeah twinview is what I tried to enable [00:23] Fish-Face, is there some kid of Template for the xorg.conf I can use just to boot the system? [00:23] DEViUS: ok then find out what hardware needs installing and get it setup [00:24] hi, i installed lm sensors, and it always displays my cpu and case heat at 25C, I know something is wrong. Is that what lmsensors displays when it cant find those sensors? [00:24] DEViUS: you will learn a lot about your pc [00:24] sufs, well, you have a couple of options [00:24] ActionParsnip: lspci results http://pastebin.com/d58e97cff [00:24] Bidget, You did install the nvidia-glx drivers? after that i normally run the nvidia-settings tool, or nvidia-xconfig (check its options) to enable twinview, [00:24] guys i need serious help... i decided to switch from fedora to ubuntu and ubuntu wont installl === cory_ is now known as luvdiapers [00:24] it keeps timing out and now im stuck with just this live cd and no operating system [00:24] DEViUS: ok you have an Intel Corporation Mobile GM965 [00:24] sufs, you could just copy the LiveCD's file over. That'll probably (but not necessarily) work [00:24] hey guys! [00:25] ActionParsnip: yes i do [00:25] Deiselton, did you format the install location to wipe it before install? [00:25] i keep getting this error [00:25] The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk: [00:25] [Errno 5] Input/output error [00:25] Bidget, i have noticed that on some machines./cards I MUST have the tv plugged in befor i power up the machine. or else it dosent get detected.. on some machines. i ve even had the tv get detected.seen/used as the default monitors. so theres room for 'quirks' in the setup. [00:25] DEViUS: so jump onto your favourite search engine and find out how to set that up in ubuntu [00:25] how is everyone today? [00:25] sufs, or I believe these a config program you could run. However, I'm not sure whether it needs access to the kernel to work - if it does, then you wouldn't necessarily be able to make a config file appropriate for your real installation [00:25] fine [00:25] Lordollie: no i let the installation do that [00:25] ActionParsnip: Google [00:25] Deislton: that could mean lots of things, include a corrupted harddisk. How old is the harddisk? [00:25] google is our friend. [00:25] Deiselton, use the live cd to clean the disk and then try again [00:25] Other then video card, and wireless, i cant think of much else ive ever needed to 'tweak' under ubuntu [00:26] Quick question guys: Where can I ask for help concerning virtualbox in ubuntu? [00:26] dr_willis, http://pastebin.com/m1b5a17f5 [00:26] kanenas ellinas [00:26] qbmaniac: whats your question? Im experimenting with it and might be able to help [00:26] ! virtualbox [00:26] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [00:26] DEViUS: ok some dude has the same gfx card here, here is his xorg.conf [00:26] dr_willis, my tv has been connected for some time as Ive been using it as a second display on windows xp (I dualboot) until I could get it figured out under ubuntu [00:26] DEViUS: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9540046/xorg.conf [00:26] Fish-Face, ok i backed up the destroyed xorg.conf and got the one from the live cd. Down for reboot, thanks [00:26] Isn't limewire available for Ubuntu? 'apt-cache search limewire' shows up nothing. [00:26] This is completely unbelievable. i have downloaded like 20 themes and every single one of them is completely ugly. Does no one with linux care about design? [00:26] so partition my drive to an ext3 system then try to install again? [00:26] or just set the drive to free space? [00:27] luminerd: make one yourself [00:27] Bidget, you may want to try that nvidia-settings tool and reduce the res of the tv perhaps. It may be it cant haldle that high. [00:27] georgy_28, I have read the documentation [00:27] and everything [00:27] Deiselton, ext3 will most likely be faster [00:27] I would just like a hand solving a problem I can't deal with [00:27] dr_willis, umm arent tvs normally 640x480...?? thats what I have it set to under windows [00:27] DEViUS: so you need to sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel [00:27] Ah, yes, I forgot. The linux community expects you to program and design your entire operating system by yourself [00:27] qbmaniac: what is your question? [00:27] Well [00:27] I want to share a folder [00:27] I followed instructions chris_foster [00:27] ActionParsnip: ill do that [00:27] Bidget, try setting clone mode. it looks almost like its trying a larger mode. [00:28] Mode 2624x1200, [00:28] but it doesn't show up in the guest (windows xp) [00:28] luminerd: no they don't [00:28] qbmaniac: did you get any errors? what is the guest OS? [00:28] win xp [00:28] dr_willis, I dont have a clone mode [00:28] I can't see anything in "Entire Network" except for my own virtual box [00:28] DEViUS: then gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to look similar in the display section (dont change the name to say your graphics card name, its not important and will mean you have to chnage lines elsewhere) [00:28] ActionParsnip: it seems to be already installed [00:28] dr_willis, all I have is twinview [00:28] DEViUS: thats fine [00:28] ActionParsnip: ok [00:28] dr_willis, I have twinview or "seperate x screen (requires restart)" [00:29] It'd be nice if there was a theme that didn't, say, forget to make an image for the freaking title bar so you have a giant ugly ass white bar across part of the top of your screen instead of a consistent image across it. [00:29] qbmaniac: sorry, Im not familiar with win xp, try google. [00:29] how does one install a gnome theme? [00:29] ActionParsnip, do you know what happened to the System > Administration > Shared Folders app? [00:29] lol i need more help.. the partition program on the live cd doesnt give me any options..... anyone know how to reformat a harddrive from the terminal [00:29] qbmaniac: or mabye someone else here is more expenieced with that area [00:29] qbmaniac: sorry I cant help [00:29] Fish-Face: no idea man [00:29] Bidget, fireing up my laptop now. to see :) tv is too far from this box for me to test. [00:30] chris_foster, no worries [00:30] I checked on goog already [00:30] Deiselton: download the system rescue CD [00:30] dr_willis, cool thanks man [00:30] But I might just ask on the forums [00:30] sheesh [00:30] Fish-Face: i always just edit /etc/samba/smb.conf [00:30] total noob needing help with ubuntu install [00:30] i have installed ubuntu on an external HD. Currently I can movbe to to other computers and everything works. If I install the NVIDIA drivers (proprietary) will my installation work on computers with different cards? [00:30] How do you install a freakin theme for gnome? [00:30] Deiselton: mk2fs [00:30] dr_willis, I have a crt monitor as well so maybe when you read crt-0 you were thinking it was the tv? I have my monitor at 1600x1200 and the tv at 640x480 maybe you were thinking one was the other or something [00:30] Bidget, normally it takes me all of like 2 mn to get the tv out + nvidia stuff going.

Im still on 169.12 and I think theyre up to 173.something now [00:31] Ive downloaded 5 themese and it always says "invalid theme" [00:31] Bidget, it may be trying one wide mode with both combined. You want a wide desktop? or a cloned one? or a seperate X display on the tv? [00:31] anyone knows how to make a custom hotkey to write a special char? [00:31] Bidget, ive been using clone mode for years with nvidia cards. [00:31] ActionParsnip: i dont find a display section in my xorg file neither the one you posted to me [00:31] redstar66: you just double click it and it installs usually [00:31] dr_willis, well I want the tv to be a seperate display [00:31] DEViUS: can i see your xorg.conf please [00:32] mk2fs??? [00:32] says its not a command [00:32] hi, i installed lm sensors, and it always displays my cpu and case heat at 25C, I know something is wrong. Is that what lmsensors displays when it cant find those sensors? [00:32] Deiselton: what file system do you want to format it? [00:32] theyre all zip files [00:32] dr_willis, yeah Ive been using my tv out for a long time but I just cant get it to work with ubuntu not sure why its giving me this error [00:32] I have a spare machine that I want to test Ubuntu on. I d/l the installer and mounted it with daemon. When I try to install, I get a error when it tries to d/l part of the install. The image was like 700m. What more does it need to d/l? [00:32] is there a specific extension for a theme file? [00:33] redstar66: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-22040.html [00:33] how to i change the keyboard for ttys? [00:33] redstar66: I'm going through the same crap. Apperantly the linux design community is horribly inconsistent and there are no standards :( [00:33] luminerd: linux is built on standards [00:33] Action: i guees ext3 [00:33] redstar66: but I've found most GTK2 themes, just drop the tar.gz file into the theme [00:33] or what ever ubuntu needs [00:34] ActionParsnip: Sorry, but Linux is as un-standard as it gets. [00:34] Bidget, all i did just to get it going on my laptop and its svideo out was run the nvidia-settings tool (as root) it saw the tv as a 2nd monitor. I enabled it with 'twinview' and hit apply, and now the tv is showing part of the desktop [00:34] redstar66: not really. They are just tar.gz usually [00:34] juan: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data [00:34] It has its strong points, standards are not among them [00:34] *keyboard layout [00:34] dr_willis, well yeah thats how it should work [00:34] ok im gonna try one [00:34] dr_willis, I do the same thing but when I hit apply I get the error [00:34] redstar66: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-428189.html [00:35] any help with Unbutu install? [00:35] ActionParsnip, but what could be preventing windows from even locating this machine, when it can browse others fine? [00:35] luminerd: they use standard stuff and publish how they do everything, unlike microsoft who hide everything [00:35] Bidget, my tv monitor is set to 1024x768 i notice [00:35] ActionParsnip: xorg details http://pastebin.com/d3a0f987 [00:35] Fish-Face: can it ping the system? [00:35] dr_willis, it can tell that the tv is hooked up but when I go into the nvidia x server settings to enable it and click apply I get this error http://pastebin.com/m1b5a17f5 [00:35] hi, i installed lm sensors, and it always displays my cpu and case heat at 25C, I know something is wrong. Is that what lmsensors displays when it cant find those sensors? [00:35] dr_willis, yeah I dont think that should really matter I will try that though and see if it makes a difference [00:35] hi . i want to install ubuntu using grub ,without a cd driver . i find a directory in my ubuntu iso call "casper" . is it contains the vmlinuz and initrd files to boot up ? [00:35] ActionParsnip, only by IP [00:35] dr_willis, nah doesnt work same error [00:36] ActionParsnip: I'm not disputing its openness. But there are a billion different ways to theme things, and within those it's very very hard to find good submissions, most of the stuff out there for linux is total unrefined crap. It all makes it very confusing and hard on the end user [00:36] dr_willis, well a little bit different of an error I guess because Im setting the tv resolution differently [00:36] i have installed ubuntu on an external HD. Currently I can movbe to to other computers and everything works. If I install the NVIDIA drivers (proprietary) will my installation work on computers with different cards? (or: can ubuntu detect a change in the graphics adapter after installing nvidia closed source drivers?) [00:36] Fish-Face, Still there? Got it to work, kinda [00:36] sufs, good good [00:36] ok I think I got it now [00:36] thanks :) [00:36] ActionParsnip, if I try by hostname it's unfindable [00:36] DEViUS: add it under line 41 in pastebin [00:37] hi all. is there a good howto (that really helps) with getting X to run with proprietary nvidia drivers? no matter what tool i use (envyng-gtk, nvidia-xconfig, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg) i keep getting a not working xorg.conf. what is the correct way to do it? [00:37] (btw: i am trying ubuntu with a live cd) [00:37] Fish-Face, the old xorg.conf is fully up and running, but some of my configs in other programs are not. How do i start the gnome panel from the console? [00:37] Tritonio : You have to log in under the recovery mode and do dpkg-reconfigure x-org [00:37] ActionParsnip: i am trying to format it to ext3 or what ever ubuntu needs [00:37] ActionParsnip: what should i add under line 41 [00:37] (or something like that) [00:37] sufs, you can't, not easily. I assume you mean, though, that you want to start all of GNOME? [00:37] my xorg.conf with working tv out for my laptop --> http://pastebin.com/f285813d6 [00:37] it reconfigures teh x-server [00:38] er oops [00:38] you want to "reconfigure the x-server manually" [00:38] redstar66, and doesn't work [00:38] Bidget, that http://pastebin.com/f285813d6 is my laptops xorg.conf for a example to try === Adam is now known as Stargazer [00:38] redstar66: thank you very much. so actually i cannot install the drivers and use them "on demand". ok. [00:38] When will ubuntu 8.x intrepid ibex be released ? [00:39] no you have to reconfigure x if you have a different card or even a monitor [00:39] dr_willis, ok well I am still a bit of a beginner haha... should I just copy the part of your xorg thats for the tv and then paste it into mine maybe? [00:39] *different monitor [00:39] !virtualbox [00:39] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'.

[00:40] juan: so install it? === Pretto is now known as pretto_ [00:40] ActionParsnip, haha got it. Wrong workgroup name [00:40] er... oh [00:41] Anyone know the name of the distro that is 100% GPL? No closed source in it at all === pretto_ is now known as Pretto [00:41] so it doesn't automatically share subfolders of a shared directory...?! [00:41] ActionParsnip: done [00:41] I tried to install Virtualbox but received the following errors: The following packages have unmet dependencies: [00:41] virtualbox-ose-modules-generic: Depends: virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-20-generic but it is not going to be installed [00:41] E: Broken packages [00:41] juan: maybe it was console-setup, try both [00:41] Deiselton: mkfs.ext3 -j /dev/ [00:41] well redstar do you figure im going to have to use ndiswrapper? Ive had others saying that it wouldnt be necessary [00:41] ActionParsnip: what about the screen section [00:41] shocm: umm gNewSense but it's more of a topic for -offtopic [00:41] IntangibleLiquid: uname -r [00:41] DEViUS: read this [00:41] DEViUS: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9540046/xorg.conf [00:41] kitche: Sorry you are right, I was actually in the wrong window when I typed. I apologize [00:42] can I download the package sources with synaptic and not install them?

Thanks again! [00:42] dr_willis, which part of the xorg is for configuring the tv?? [00:43] if im using 8.04 can i set Thunar as my default file manager instead of nautilus? If so are there any risk/complications that can come from doing it? [00:43] IntangibleLiquid: well first, you are going to want to install all the present updates and reboot. But pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list [00:43] sufs, no problem, glad I could help! [00:43] thor: you can use any file manager you want [00:44] ActionParsnip: but can it be set as the default? [00:44] dr_willis, I see that your monitor0 is set to twinview at 1280x800 but which one is the tv? [00:44] hi all. is there _any_ way to get hardware accelerated 3d working with the proprietary nvidia drivers? [00:44] What tool would prove best to get a video file's duration?

[00:46] How can I find out the public IP of Ubuntu Server in CLI? [00:46] DEViUS: i can check what you have if you want [00:46] I'm behind a router, so ifconfig won't do it [00:46] arg.. i went through and made sure the drive was unmounted but it still says it is in use by the system.... anyone know how to fix thiss [00:47] ActionParsnip [00:47] Deiselton: sup [00:47] ActionParsnip: this is the latest changes http://pastebin.com/d585a9477 [00:47] IntangibleLiquid: why? It should work anyway [00:47] WDC: then your public ip is the wan ip of your router [00:47] jrib: how? [00:47] ActionParsnip: hmm [00:47] WDC: www.ipchicken.com [00:47] ActionParsnip: it keeps saying the device is in use by the system and wont let me format it [00:48] IntangibleLiquid: just install virtualbox-ose-modules-$(uname -r) [00:48] DEViUS: looks fine, save, reboot [00:48] ActionParsnip: Go to 74.224.158.86 and see if you can see a XAMPP start page, if you don't mind please [00:48] WDC: well if you really wanted to install curl and do curl -S whatismyip.org [00:48] ActionParsnip: ok [00:49] kitche: apt-get install curl?

Starting over... I wish to rename a heop-o-files with the existing filename structure of {A}{Space}{Hyphen}{Space}{B}.{Ext}. I would like to end up with {B} {Space}{Hyphen}{Space}{A}.{Ext} I could possible remove the .{Ext} from the originals before renaming and then re-add after if this would make the procedure easier. The content represented by {A} and {B} is alpha numeric pluse additi0onal characters invluding [00:51] spaces. Any help would be greatly appreciated. [00:51] ActionParsnip: why do I need one? [00:51] WDC: they are very similar, if it works then great [00:51] ActionParsnip: I wanted Deb because it has SO MUCH less than Ubuntu does, and I just want somehting simple [00:51] what is the best wireless security mode? [00:51] player: just throwing in that you can get a gui if you dont wanna use cli [00:51] Fat: use rename, see 'man rename'. Feel free to poke if you are stuck [00:52] ActionParsnip: but what is cli? [00:52] Adman65: wpa2 is strong but has a lot of overhead, wep is weaker but is lighter [00:52] !cli | player [00:52] player: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [00:52] player: Command Line interface [00:52] ahhh [00:52] Is there an easy way to clone a computer? [00:52] thxs!

[00:53] luminerd: dd, partimage, [00:53] why would someone use a cli to get files? aren't they all on repositories? [00:53] player: I guess your a windows convert [00:53] luminerd: when you use apt-get / synaptic etc you install packages [00:53] player, err.. why is the fact they are on repos.. related to getting files via cli? [00:53] Thanks, will have a look... [00:53] DEViUS "im done" [00:54] can anyone tell me why i cant see the visual effects?i have an ati 2600 chip [00:54] ActionParsnip: Im done [00:54] player, the repos are normally just ftp/http servers so you can easially grab files from them with normal ftp/tools [00:54] sorry, I was asking about wget not cli :D [00:54] luminerd: packages depend on other packages to run [00:54] Anyone know why i cant format a partition cause the computer thinks its mounted but when u run the umount command it says mtab says it isnt [00:54] ? [00:54] DEViUS: hows it looking?

[00:55] DEViUS: go to display settings now and you should be able to set your resolution [00:55] wget can grab files from ftp servers player . Yes.. [00:55] ActionParsnip: Can you do me a favor? See if DynDNS did it's job please. http://ender2.ath.cx [00:55] anyone feel like helping me find the correct wireless/sound driver to a Lenovo 3000 y410?

[00:56] ActionParsnip: am i using the open source driver like this [00:56] dr_willis, you could use minicom and set that it responds to AT commands [00:56] i have to install the drivers or what?

[00:57] kitche: Yeah, I know – just thought that if anyone knew. :--) [00:58] Bidget, i would backup your xorg.conf and copy mine to xorg.conf and restartX and see what happens [00:58] DEViUS: they are intel based so the kernel will jandle them [00:58] dr_willis, yeah for me the restricted drivers manager didnt detect that I had a video card, not sure why [00:58] is there a cli way to close a port wich is already open and connected? [00:58] ActionParsnip: ok [00:58] dr_willis, ok where is my xorg stored? [00:58] ActionParsnip: so what next? [00:58] Bidget, some variants of the nvidia cards get seen/detected wrongly [00:58] DEViUS: try changing the display driver to i810 instead of intel [00:58] dr_willis, yeah I had a huge issue with getting mine working under 7.10, then I got to 8.04 and the problems started all over again [00:58] Just checked "man rename" With that it appears I can strip the extension but I am still left with {A} {Space} {Hyphen} {Space} {B}. This is the part where I need help, interchanging {A} and {B} while leaving the {Space} {Hyphen} {Space} intact.. [00:58] ActionParsnip: how [00:58] in /etc/X11/ [00:59] Bidget, xorg.conf is in /etc/X11 [00:59] dr_willis, gotcha [00:59] DEViUS: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-driver-i810 [00:59] Fat: rename -n 's/(.*) - (.*)\.(.*)/$2 - $1.$3/' * remove the -n if you are satisfied with what it says it will do [00:59] dr_willis, so I just copy yours over mine and then rename mine to something in case it screws up? [00:59] i need help installin ubuntu [00:59] Bidget, BACKUP yours first.. :) [00:59] Fat: I put extensions in there [00:59] can any1 help plezzz [00:59] DEViUS: then gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:59] dr_willis, right right :D [01:00] is ubuntu nortoriously buggy on the install?... cuse this is getting bad it is goign slow as hell and it keeps crashing on me.... so im am stuck without an OS [01:00] <_Carrie_> is it possible to test a 56k modem when you have no live phone lines in your house?

[01:01] Bidget, you could hit alt-ctrl-backspace [01:01] Rezagrats: upgrading shouldn't remove your programs [01:02] _Carrie_: ok ill find an alternative [01:02] Bidget, or logout to the gdm screen then restart the gdm service from the console/alt-ctrl-backspace [01:02] dr_willis, alright cross your fingers haha [01:02] <_Carrie_> kitche, there's a terminal program in windows that will allow you to test a modem with no line attached === player is now known as player1 [01:02] Bidget, or kill the gdm service and use 'startx' to see what errors X gives..

[01:04] ActionParsnip: plz be more specific "which section under what field" im still a learner sorry [01:04] DEViUS: pastebin the xorg.conf please [01:04] Thanks, I'm going to write this down and go play in the sand for a while. Will probably not be back tonight but will try to get on tomorrow and let you know if it worked out. Thanks again. Later [01:04] ActionParsnip: ok [01:04] !who | Fat [01:04] Fat: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [01:04] ActionParsnip: here it is http://pastebin.com/d18f094e5 [01:04] preety please...how do you identify wich program is using a specific port using the cli? [01:05] IT WORKS [01:05] however [01:05] dr_willis, small problem though [01:05] Bidget: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:05] the_real_player1: netstat is the program you use [01:05] :) [01:05] DEViUS: line 44 [01:05] kitche: with wich options? [01:06] dr_willis, the tv works as a display but for some reason instead of the tv being a seperate display it makes the display stretch across both the tv and the monitor [01:06] DEViUS: that line defines the driver for the display, read it and lok at the context [01:06] hi, when i press CRTL+ALT+F2 going to terminal, how can i back to window screen? (sorry bad eng) [01:06] ActionParsnip: i've changed it i810 [01:06] cok_yasa_kamil: ctrl+alt+f7 [01:06] DEViUS: with quotes? [01:06] cok_yasa_kamil: ctrl+alt+f7 [01:06] dr_willis, basically I want my tv to be able to be set to a different resolution but instead of having a tv at 640x480 and a monitor at 1600x1200 it gives me a big display thats like 2240x1200 [01:07] ActionParsnip: yes [01:07] <^paradox^> ok im still in need of some help trying to share a printer over a network. the other guy that was helping me had to leave, but i have the complete conversation > http://rafb.net/p/ynwmR762.html . if someone could pm me and take a little time to help me finish up id appreciate it :-) [01:07] DEViUS: ok save, exit, reboot [01:07] thanks :) your help! [01:07] ActionParsnip: ok [01:08] the_real_player1: you could use lsof as well but I don't use lsof but lsof is the recommended program for what you want [01:08] dr_willis, do I want to set it to a seperate x screen or something? is twinview not what I should be using or something? [01:08] _Carrie_: sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf do anything special? [01:08] the_real_player1: since netstat is not what you want really [01:09] <_Carrie_> ActionParsnip, thanks :) http://pastebin.com/m67a785a5 [01:10] kitche: the netstat -v is kind of nice :-) [01:10] the_real_player1: I don't use lsof so I can't give you the exact syntax [01:10] the_real_player1: here I don't have a -v option for netstat so I don't know about it [01:10] <_Carrie_> ActionParsnip, anyway to determine what speed it's going to use when a connection occurs? I have the 'free' version of the drivers and they said it will only run @ 14kbps but I didn't get any messages about it limiting so I'm unsure. [01:11] kitche: you dont have 'verbose'? why? [01:11] What is the default timeout of the password cache in sudo? [01:11] nosbig: i believe 15 minutes [01:11] Thanks... [01:11] yes 15 min [01:12] DEViUS: any good? [01:12] the_real_player1: it's not in the BSD version [01:12] ActionParsnip: things got worse and worse then worse i got startup errors, low graphics mode errors and crazy looking screens at startup [01:12] Hello, can anyone here tell me how long a Yahoo answers account suspension lasts? [01:12] mn: that's not related to ubuntu at all [01:12] is xserver xgl different from gnome and ubuntu-server? [01:13] dr_willis any idea why its doing that [01:13] then head into display settings and try to change the resolution [01:13] jrib: I accessing on a Ubuntu system ;) No, I know that but idk where to ask [01:13] mn: well, not here. Try #ubuntu-offtopic maybe [01:13] oh ok thnx [01:13] anyone recognize what's going wrong here and how to fix it? http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/6572/screenshothx9.png [01:14] it's an Intel graphics render order glitch, it's messing with a lot of OpenGL programs [01:14] ok guys I finally got my tv-out to work but instead of my tv and monitor being 2 seperate displays with the tv at 640x480 and the monitor at 1600x1200, it made one giant display thats 2240x1200... anyone know how to fix this?? [01:15] <[Solars]> erm need to figure out how to fix my grub [01:15] !grub [01:15] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [01:15] hey, can anybody help me with a problem i'm having with apache http server on my ubuntu machine?? probably an easy fix, but i'm new to ubuntu, so i'd appreciate any help [01:15] <^paradox^> in need of hand setting up sharing of a printer over a network. the guy who was helping me had to leave. our conversations here tho http://rafb.net/p/ynwmR762.html [01:15] <[Solars]> it points vmlinuz to the wrong spot and doesn't list the windows [01:15] ActionParsnip: not with resolution but eyecandy and quality of reder [01:15] reder? [01:16] ActionParsnip: ya even win98 looked better lool [01:16] what is a reder? [01:16] ActionParsnip: sry render [01:16] ActionParsnip, I think he meant render maybe? [01:16] DEViUS: looks ok to me, but i use fluxbox so i cant really say [01:17] ActionParsnip: ?? [01:17] I finally got my tv-out to work but instead of my tv and monitor being 2 seperate displays with the tv at 640x480 and the monitor at 1600x1200, it made one giant display thats 2240x1200... anyone know how to fix this?? [01:17] ActionParsnip: everything got worse [01:17] ActionParsnip: i should admit it was better [01:17] I've got a 250GB hd, the bios apparently doesn't support ATA-6 and it sees only 137GB, I was under the impression that the bios wasn't used to access the drive after boot, so why am I having problems accessing this drive fully when booting from my old drive via usb? /dev/sda isn't readable currently although it's partitioned already. [01:17] DEViUS: http://s270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/andrew_woodhead666/?action=view¤t=MyScreenshot.png [01:17] Bidget, thats sort of what you told it to do. :) I drag the video player over to the tv and make it 'fullscreen' to take up just the tv. [01:18] anyone know of a really good CAD app? [01:18] can anybody help me out with an apache problem? [01:18] !cad | Freakin_Busy [01:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about cad [01:18] smatz: best to just ask the channel your question [01:18] dr_willis, no but I told it to set my tv to 640x480 and my monitor to 1600x1200 not make a desktop thats 2240x1200 and then just cut off the part that the tv is too small to display.... [01:18] Freakin_Busy, depends a lot on your Cad Needs. I use Qcad for my minimal needs. [01:18] gotcha thanks :) [01:18] i gotta split kids [01:18] for schematics? [01:18] work tomorrow [01:18] blocks and groups? [01:19] DEViUS: keep websearching for how to get your vga working [01:19] peace [01:19] Bidget, its 'joining the two together' There will be a 'deadzone. below the tv display - thats an issue with different size displays. [01:19] Hi i'm having a weird problem I'm running World of warcraft in cedega and it runs fine when I have compiz on but when i switch to metacity to save on graphics it doesn't run [01:19] kitche: I just tried netstat -p and it gives the PID and also the program name, I hope tomorrow I can use it on my server to try to solve the problem by killing the PID's of the strange inside-->out connections... but last time I checked, they didnt appear on netstat, wich is strange [01:19] ActionParsnip: you ruined it and now you are setting me off? [01:19] dr_willis, that seems like a pretty major flaw lol [01:19] ActionParsnip: you start something we finish it [01:19] Bidget, if you dont want to be able to 'drag' windows and stuff over to the tv. You could make a seperate X session there. [01:20] dr_willis, hm... what would that do? [01:20] they only appeard on the firewall gui [01:20] Bidget, thats how its always worked.. even under windows for me. Come up with a 'fix or logical way to get around the core issue' :) [01:20] Bidget, what do you want to do with the tv out? I just drag a media player to it.. and maxamize it to watch movies on the tv. [01:20] mount -t cifs //yourhost/yourshare /mnt/somewhere asks for a password, i didn't set a password when creating the share, what's the password? [01:21] dr_willis, yeah thats what I do under windows and it has no problem I just select dualview and you can have 2 displays with different refresh rates and resolutions there is no dead space at all [01:21] what is cifs? [01:21] dr_willis, if I fullscreen a video now it will take up my monitor as well as the tv but like 3/4 of the picture is cut off on the tv because of the big dead spot under it.... [01:22] well i'm very new to ubuntu, and i tried installing apache today. the installation went smoothly (with $ sudo apt-get install apache2), but when i go in to edit the stuff in my webroot (/var/www), it tells me i don't have permissions :\ and even when i try to go to http://localhost, it returns a 403 error :\ :\ [01:22] Bidget, i have dead space under windows.. it may be you just dont notice it. Let me check the player on the laptop.. if twinview is enabled correctly it should jsut max to the tv and thats it. [01:22] anyone recognize what's going wrong here and how to fix it? http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/6572/screenshothx9.png [01:22] i'm trying to create a share in Nautilus and it says "'net usershare returned error 255" usershares are currently disabled [01:22] dr_willis, I definitely do not... I would notice it lol [01:23] smatz: you dont have the permissions to edit anything under / except your home folder [01:24] lol behbek [01:24] so if i go into the config file, can i just change where apache is serving things from? [01:24] smatz: if you want to get privilleges to edit you have to launch nautilus as the superuser(root) so give the command sudo nautilus and try again.... [01:24] Bidget, i would say you are not noticeing it because of how windows is handling the virtual screens the deadzone does exist.. but on the linxu thing.. I DO recall that after using nvidia-settings, that just clicking 'apply' makes the changes.. but Not all apps work properly. Untill you restart X. === arooni________a is now known as arooni [01:25] dr_willis, its not that Im not noticing it, its just that its not there, load up windows and select dualview and oyu will see exactly what Im talking about, windows has 2 different options, there is horizontal span (which does what ubuntu is doing right now) and there is dualview which sets up 2 displays seperately [01:25] jrib: Back already... I typed in rename 'jb/Desktop/123./(.*) - (.*) \.(.*)/$2 - $1.$3/' * and following resulted Backslash found where operator expected at (eval 1) line 1, near "*) \" (Missing operator before \?) syntax error at (eval 1) line 1, near "(." Any thoughts? [01:25] seriously though, it's an intel graphics rendering problem, I can't figure out what's causing it [01:25] Fat: why is there a path in the quotes? [01:26] it gets the ordering wrong on openGL windows [01:26] irc://irc.rizon.net:6667/animeFreakz [01:26] oh hehehe you have forward slashes that aren't escaped! [01:26] smatz: you can do it from the terminal as well using your favorite text editor (e.g vi, vim, nano, gedit, etc).... if you prefer it just give the command 'sudo nano /the/path/of/the/file' ctrl+s to save and ctrl+x to exit === eric is now known as Guest67694 [01:27] Fat: you need to just 'cd' to where the files are and keep the stuff inside the quotes how it was (with the s/blah/bleh/. The 's' needs to be there) [01:27] jrib: Well, being a true noob, I figured it would have to know where the file were that it hand to act on! (Alright, keep the snickering down!) [01:27] Looking for Voodoo, guidance, a guru of video setup. I installed Ubuntu on a friends machine and wammo! 800x600 that I can't change even with the FixVidRes guide. Here's a better explaination and a copy of my xorg for review and comment. http://paste.ubuntu.com/50672/ Any assistance would be appriciated. [01:27] Bidget, i restarted my x server, after runing the nvidia-settings tool. and now gmplayer is fullscreening properly to the tv for me. [01:27] being a regexp idiot, I recognized nothing wrong with that blah [01:27] Fat: and use '-n' so that it won't actually do anything but just tell you what it would do [01:27] dr_willis, ok I'll try doing that... one sec [01:28] Bidget, dont forget to 'save the settings' :) after you run the nvidia-settings tool. I frogot and had to rerun it. [01:28] Bidget, the nvidia 'docs/readmes [01:29] jrib: OK, here goes.....(Me thinks me follows what your up to!) [01:29] dr_willis, ehh I hit save to configuration and it gives me an error saying it cant replace my xorg.conf [01:29] on the nvidia web site have more tweaks/settings/things you can do :) if you want to really have fine controll over it. [01:29] Bidget, you ahve to run the tool as root with sudo [01:29] dr_willis, whats the command to run the nvidia x server settings? [01:30] dr_willis, or am I totally on the wrong page here haha [01:30] nvidia-settings :) rember the command WITH the X in it is not a X gui... the one without the X is a x gui.... [01:30] theres 'nvidia-settings' and nvidia-xconfig' [01:30] a question about the terminal command "wget". the default is to download the file to your home directory. how can i change the default, or tell it each time where the download is to go. [01:30] rickyOK: man wget [01:31] i have reviewed the man and cannot find anything.....anyone know how? [01:31] ok I think its saved now [01:31] wget has a bazliiiiiion command line options. :) [01:31] hi, i need help using gvfs-mount for a bug [01:31] dr_willis: yeah, they had to invent the bazliiiiiiiion unit after the man page was finished :) [01:31] rickyOK: here's the manual http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html [01:32] Intel graphics rendering problem, any takers? looks like this: http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/6572/screenshothx9.png [01:32] regeya: anyone know how what? [01:32] i have looked at "man wget" and used the -o command, but it make a log file: i just want the download to go to the folder i choose....any ideas? [01:32] rickyOK: did you try -C [01:32] i need to mount /dev/sda1 onto a folder but i don't know how to do that with this program (gvs-mount) there is no man page. can someone help? [01:32] rickyOK: check the link I gave you .. there's an index. [01:32] jrib: who did what to where? [01:32] dr_willis, nah didnt change anything [01:33] regeya: -ENOCONTEXT for your question [01:33] okay, thanks for the help roukoun; that worked :) ...but i don't understand why i get a 403 error when i try to view them at http://localhost or from another computer? [01:33] Bidget, You did totally restart X? did a alt-ctrl-backspace at the gdm screen? [01:33] rickyOK: checked out -P? [01:33] Anyone have a ProSavage video card working correctly? I need assistance. [01:33] jrib: I had a question? [01:33] dr_willis, youuuu betcha haha [01:33] Bidget, or 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart' :) === tanim is now known as fannagoganna [01:33] rickyOK: ignore me :) [01:33] I have a .htaccess file with "deny from all" in it, but it seems to be ignored by my server -- Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) what would cause it to be ignored? [01:33] jrib? [01:34] hrmm, now this is going to be confusing. regeya: YOU ignore me. rickyOK: don't ignore me :) [01:34] dr_willis, but when I restarted x it went back to 1280x800 instead of 1600x1200 so its like it reset to the original xorg that you pastebinned [01:34] Bidget, i got it going here just fine.. odd.. I noticed that if i unplug the tv and restart X it even goes back to the normal single monitor desktop. [01:34] ROFL @ autocomplete [01:34] the info at that link is basically the same thing you get when you look at the man pages......i have a hard time understanding them. [01:34] Bidget, perhaps you dident save it properly? [01:34] * jrib considers typing more than one letter before hitting tab [01:34] there are two output options, and i have tried both of them, to no avail....... [01:34] dr_willis, well I typed the command and it said that it saved the configuration and backed up the old one [01:34] hi, i need help using gvfs-mount for a bug [01:34] i need to mount /dev/sda1 onto a folder but i don't know how to do that with this program (gvs-mount) there is no man page. can someone help? [01:34] rickyOK: you want the -C switch [01:34] dr_willis, so... I dont get it lol [01:34] rickyOK: I just gave you the switch. See if -P is what you want [01:35] rickyOK: wget -C [01:35] Bidget, this is when it pays to learn to manually exit/read/tweak the xorg.conf I guess so you can tell whats going on. [01:35] kitche: that's for tar, no? [01:35] dr_willis, hm [01:35] wget -P URL: i will try it.... [01:35] jrib: Once again getting skewered by the finger of fate! When I try cd jb/Desktop/123 I get bash: cd: jb/Desktop/123: No such file or directory Now, that'a a lie 'cause I see it! Not only that I made it! Again, any thoughts? [01:35] * regeya has been more or less lost since the XFree->xorg switch :-} [01:35] jrib: think it's for wget as well been a while since I actually used wget though [01:35] dr_willis, so is there no way to get it set up like the way I have it in windows then? [01:35] Fat if you' [01:36] Fat: just do: cd ~/Desktop/123 [01:36] i will try some of this.....thanks [01:36] smatz: you maybe have the apache service installed in a place that your browser cant detect... read this to get helped(http://www.devolio.com/blog/archives/221-How-to-install-Apache,-MySQL-and-PHP-LAMP-in-Ubuntu-7.10.html) [01:36] Fat if you're going to do it like that then "cd /home/jb/Desktop/123" [01:36] brb [01:36] Fat or "cd ~/Desktop/123 [01:36] Hi [01:36] kitche: I think I know why netstat wont show some of the firestarter connections I saw: because I was using netstat without sudo [01:36] Bidget, its working fine for me here.. I havent used it under windows in ages.. plus im using Vista now.. so it may differ. [01:36] the_real_player1: well that would help :) [01:36] Bidget, this is on my laptop however. :) it has a different video card then the 8800. [01:36] dr_willis, well its the same nvidia driver though [01:36] is ubuntu desktop = gnome desktop or what? im kinda confused about the desktop thing [01:36] back when you had to do nearly everything manually, I could deal with XFree. Now that much of the process is automagical, however...:-P [01:37] kitche: well it would be great if switches were consistent. At least across gnu programs. But I may ask for too much [01:37] jrib: Scunizi Thanks, here we go again, stay tuned.... [01:37] Bidget, if tv is plugged in. I get 2 displays, wide screen. if its not i get a single monitor. [01:37] dr_willis, you should still have all of the display options like horizontal span vertical span clone or dualview [01:37] hey guys [01:37] Bidget, ive noticed that different cards/chipsets can Vary Greately in little quirks. [01:37] im trying to get flash to work and i get this ERROR: Your architecture, \'x86_64\', is not supported by the [01:37] Adobe Flash Player installer. [01:37] dr_willis, yeah I just cant stand that it makes it one big screen spanning over 2 displays I want 2 seperate screens =\ [01:37] Bidget, i dont hav to change anything right now. [01:37] so i should just reinstall 32 bit version to get it to work? [01:37] sileni: how are you trying to install it? [01:37] i went to the website [01:37] Bidget, then you want to explore the seperate X session Option. I never use that feature so cant help there. [01:38] any help for ati card,i cant see the visual effects [01:38] Bidget: xinerama should fix that but don't ask me how to configure xorg for it. [01:38] downloaded the tar file extracted and ./flashplayerinstaller [01:38] sileni: nah, just install the 'flashplugin-nonfree' package [01:38] dr_willis, I will give it a shot and see how it works... but just curious what exactly does it mean when it says seperate x session? [01:38] sudo apt-get that woudl work ? === pj is now known as p-boxintaor [01:38] Scunizi, oh there is a way around it then??? WOOO!!! [01:38] How do you install XP via virtualbox from an ISO? [01:38] jrib: Scunizi: BINGO - we got the directory, now, onward... [01:38] Scunizi, awesome haha [01:38] anybody seen user zirrush in here lately? [01:38] Bidget, for my video player i just drag it over, and fullsfreen it . and it takes up just the tv 's monitor. it dosent go halfway, some DUMB apps will still pop up in the middle of both displays. [01:38] sileni: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree, yeah. Or if you want something even easier, just visit http://badgerbadgerbadger.com in firefox and click on the yellow bar [01:38] Bidget, it runs 2 X servers/sessions you could have 2 desktops , one on each monitor [01:39] dr_willis, yeah for me it cuts off the bar along the top, my icons are half disappeared cause they span over to the deadzone under the tv's display.. its a mess haha [01:39] dr_willis, hmm [01:39] anyone have a white ipod 20 gigs? and can you get it to work with ubuntu 8.04? [01:39] Bidget, It did that Untill i restarted the X server with the proper X config. [01:39] dr_willis, that actually sounds great... what would I have tod o to switch between them though..? [01:39] jrib: 113 mb of space needed to make flash work? [01:39] does that sound right? [01:39] dr_willis, well I will do some tweaking and see if I can get it to work [01:39] Intel graphics rendering problem, any takers? looks like this: http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/6572/screenshothx9.png [01:39] a weird issue just started for me... i run compiz with a gtk theme but for some reason the window border has stopped loading at start-up. i can load it after by changing to emerald then changing back [01:40] dr_willis, but anyway I have to go, I will probably be back though haha [01:40] sileni: no idea. It needs to install nspluginwrapper and stuff it depends on [01:40] dr_willis, thanks for the help man [01:40] Bidget, i would go to xorg.conf and make a xorg backup dir.. move all the xorg.confs there.. and rerun the config tool.. save it again.. and copy the saved one to xorg.conf.twinview and restart X. if it does auto change to the old config.. well compare the new with the old. [01:40] what is the logic behind grep? [01:40] jrib: ok thank you for the quick answer man appreciate it [01:40] the_real_player1, Huh? [01:40] the_real_player1: when you need to find something, you use grep. Can you be a little more specific about what you mean? [01:41] sup man [01:41] sileni: no problem [01:41] hey jrib [01:41] hi [01:41] how do i completely whipe my computer of any os?

[01:42] MrDudle, use the fdisk tools and delee all partitions is one way [01:42] MrDudle: load a live cd and delete all the partitions [01:42] dr_willis, [01:42] MrDudle, just saying somes name.. dosent really do much good. :) [01:43] has anyone experienced issues with gdmsetup lately ?

[01:50] !pastebin | the_real_player1 [01:50] the_real_player1: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [01:51] jrib: It Happened!!!! Many thanks, file names revised perfectly. Greatly appreciate your help. Now one last question. I was working with a sample 10 if the many I have to do. In future I will remove the "-n" n'est pas? [01:52] Fat: -n means the command doesn't actually rename anything. It just outputs what it would do [01:52] thanks jrib, i will try that. [01:53] is there a way to kill a process by name? [01:53] jrib: amazing idea, the pastebin! [01:53] anybody know why this is segfaulting? http://paste.ubuntu.com/50680/ [01:53] (instead of by PID) [01:53] l337ingDisorder: pkill [01:54] l337ingDisorder: You could use xkill and click it if you're in gui [01:54] awesome, thanks! [01:54] pkill is exactly what I need [01:54] hmm [01:54] or is it.. [01:54] is there a !index to see all explained commands? [01:56] the_real_player1: there is apropos [01:56] the_real_player1: it lets you search for appropriate commands [01:56] ubottu: tell the_real_player1 about yourself [01:56] the_real_player1, please see my private message [01:56] the_real_player1: what kind of commands did you mean? [01:57] jrib: Ah yes, on checking the test directory I see what you mean. I'll remove the "-n" and give it another run although methinks there'll be no problems now. [01:59] jrib: thank you, the factoids seems preety amazing :-) [01:59] <[Solars]> how does ubuntu see sata drives? /dev/sd0 ? [01:59] <[Solars]> as the first sata drive [01:59] <[Solars]> or is it /dev/hd1 [02:00] Quick quesion, how can I display the chmod of a folder in numerical format? [02:00] [Solars]: /dev/sda [02:00] through bash === Guest70821 is now known as Lemming2 [02:00] phuzion: stat -somethingyouwillhavetolookup [02:00] Is there any non-ugly way to disable recent documents? 8.04? [02:01] phuzion: If there is a way to do that, it's probably in the man page for ls. [02:01] <[Solars]> jrib thanks [02:01] sudo stat directory does it find, thanks jrib [02:01] phuzion: eww, why sudo? [02:01] does pastebin has an index too? [02:02] phuzion: stat -c %a FILE gives you just the permissions by the way [02:02] the_real_player1: some like pastebin.com do [02:02] Thanks jrib [02:05] jrb: Many thanks, all works well, till next time cheers!

[02:08] any help for my visual effects?i cant see nothing on my ati chip [02:08] http://rafaeltrindade.com.br/2008/09/21/best-geek-quotes/ [02:08] dr_willis, the wine shell (terminal) is still there... but the window where i had my .exe being emulated disppaeared [02:09] hmm.. is this a 'support' channel? or should i go elsewhere to find others that would like to discuss options and possible solutions? [02:09] Kingsy101: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [02:09] ubottu: tell Kingsy101 about lamp [02:09] Kingsy101, please see my private message [02:10] !patience [02:10] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [02:10] what can I do to fix broken dependencies, dpkg was interupted [02:10] $ dpkg --configure -a did not fix [02:10] init.d doesnt exist [02:10] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop was interupted [02:11] do I have to reinstall from disk? === l is now known as Guest33317 [02:11] dr_willis: i have plenty of patience, but it's running thin after being !botted out of the room saying to go look other places for information, know what i mean? [02:11] mib_chwfyz, proberly not..but im not sure of thebest way to recover from that sort of disaster [02:12] nicodarious, i dident even see you ask a question.. but i pop in and out all day long. [02:12] somebody shoot me [02:12] plus im helping people in other channels.. [02:12] dr_willis: i was just asking if this was a support channel or would i !botted to somewhere else if i even brought up the word 'support'. [02:12] For some reason when I lift up my laser mouse, the cursor goes down... [02:12] <_Carrie_> nicodarious, welcome to the "Human" aspect of ubuntu :) (speaking about all the bot's canned responses) :P [02:12] This is pretty recent. [02:13] I can't seem to get my Ubuntu machine to work on my network. If I run XP all is well. all machines see each other and share files just fine. Under Unbuntu, no such thing. They can see each other but I cannot share files. [02:13] _Carrie_: heh. thanks :) [02:13] Topic says --> Official Ubuntu Support Channel - So yes this is the official ubuntu support channel. [02:14] For some reason when I lift up my laser mouse, the cursor goes down... [02:14] This is pretty recent. [02:14] can someone tell me how to re-start appache or lampp? [02:14] i just wanted to speak to someone about Ubuntu's suspend issues and see if i could trade information to see if there was some way to get it to work, that is if it hasn't been fixed yet. [02:14] R0b0t1, check for lint. :) i had a dirty laser/led on a mouse the other day.. making it do all sorts of weird things.. [02:15] dr_willis: You were right... :( [02:15] Kingsy101: sudo /etc/init.t/apache2 restart [02:15] dr_willis: nice prognosis! [02:15] Kingsy101: *sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [02:15] there is nothing in etc called init. anything [02:15] how can i recover lost windows? [02:16] Kingsy101: well how can your system boot if you don't have /etc/init.d? [02:16] R0b0t1, wife uses her mouse on her 'bed' since the pc is next to her bed.. shes alwyas getting lint in it. [02:16] Ok, no worries, I'll keep all machines in the house on XP. Sharing will work that way. [02:16] i have a wierd problem with my ubuntu box regarding php and curl [02:17] can someone help ? [02:17] Kingsy101: give the command 'locate init.d' and check it out [02:18] iPercy: what's the problem? [02:18] when i want to minimize a windows how can i make it minimize in the uper panel? [02:18] i have some domains hosted on my box and when a try to open them via curl in php [02:18] the script hangs [02:18] lets say domain1.com calls domain2.com on my box [02:18] but its a no go [02:18] iPercy: hmm... well, i wished i knew about php and curl, but i haven't even a clue on what curl is.... i'm sorry [02:18] Hi! I just ran into a installation issue: http://paste.ubuntu.com/50686/ Any idea how to fix this? [02:19] the script is fine, tested it on my mac with same wirtual hosts and it worked [02:19] heh [02:19] okej :D [02:19] anyone have an idea? [02:19] networking is not Linux's strong point. At least with a home network. [02:19] i think there is a port problem [02:19] in my opinion.... [02:19] curtis: Right click on the upper panel and add the window list applet [02:19] roukoun - oh yea sorry I found it, it says that apache2 has not been installed and it says that it cant find the command 'apache' but I know I have installed apache because I can access http:localhost/ [02:20] ctw: have you ran sudo apt-get update ? [02:20] nicodarious: yes, my system is up to date [02:20] I find networking to be very useable at my home with linux. :) but i did spend the time reading the 'using samba' book - so i know whats going on when i get linux and windows mixed networks. [02:20] Kingsy101: How did you install Apache? [02:20] I installed lampp [02:20] iPercy: to me it sounds like your missing something for php [02:20] <[Solars]> having a hard time getting windows added to grub boot menu [02:20] dr_willis: no reading. Just booted XP and all is well. [02:20] ctw: have you ran sudo apt-get autoremove (i think that's the one... just in case there's anything sticking that shouldn't be there) [02:21] php is fine [02:21] <[Solars]> any advice on that topic? tried editing /boot/grub/menu.* [02:21] anything like a language translation applet out there? [02:21] [Solars]: run sudo update-grub after you've edited the file [02:21] Kingsy101: _how_ did you install apache? and did you isntall apache or apache2? [02:21] i can fetch other pages via curl [02:21] it stucks only on my domains [02:21] :S [02:21] [Solars]: and it'll add it to the boot menu when you reboot [02:21] curtis: add the 'window list' to the upper panel [02:21] theres more to 'networking' then just the 'network neighborhood' :) but thats not technically ubuntu support discussion.. so i will leave it at that [02:21] should be in bed now... thanks a lot for all you help, you guys are amazing!!! :-) [02:22] nicodarious: yes ... ran autoremove [02:22] Does anyone know if a Wubi installation of Ubuntu supports an encrypted hard drive? [02:22] anyone knows how to recover lost windows? [02:22] will try to google it [02:22] i tried alt-TAB but its not showing... it actually disappeared! lol [02:22] dr_willis: no problem, I understand. XP will work for my problem. Network Neighbourhood works just fine. [02:22] nalioth - I installed lampp by 'tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.6.7.tar.gz -C /opt' and then used '/opt/lampp/lampp start' [02:22] Kingsy101: try 'locate /etc/init.d/apach*'....... what's the output? [02:23] ok 1 sec [02:23] ctw interesting. try removing the program and then sudo apt-get clean then reinstall the program [02:23] iPercy: thought you said you were using curl in php my bad [02:23] roukoun - it didnt return anything [02:23] yes [02:24] <[Solars]> nicodarious erm i done that and still didn't work [02:24] i am using curl in php :) [02:24] nicodarious: sweet, that did the trick [02:24] nicodarious: thanks so much! [02:24] ctw :) [02:24] hey, I have a question. I am having a hard time installing my creative sound card driver. How can I do this? [02:24] iPercy: then you are probably missing something for php [02:24] just a sec [02:25] <[Solars]> perhaps i modified the file wrong? [02:25] will upload my script [02:25] <[Solars]> i'll check on next boot up to verify [02:25] [Solars]: so what are the steps you are taking to install the 'windows' partition to the grub menu right now? [02:25] Kingsy101: ok wait a minute..... [02:25] roukoun - ok, no problem [02:26] Kingsy101: Since you didn't use the version of Apache in the Ubuntu package repositories, it may be hard for someone to tell you how to control a 3rd party installation of Apache. [02:26] if you do 'sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst' then add your windows partition into it then run 'sudo update-grub' you sould be fine [02:26] okey [02:26] my code is here [02:26] http://pastebin.com/d2442ca7a [02:26] <[Solars]> nicodarious err now i have a disk failure error [02:26] Kingsy101: what command did you gave to install apache? [02:26] iPercy: did you install php5-curl? [02:26] yes [02:26] [Solars]: hmm.. where do you get that at? [02:27] when you try to update grub? [02:27] <[Solars]> i am assuming it windows cuase my raid drives are offline [02:27] <[Solars]> at boot up before grub text [02:27] if i run this code....and want to open...lets say www.somedomain.com [02:27] i get the content [02:27] hey guys someone told me to to use sudo apt-get install java-jdk6 or osmething like that [02:27] and now it downloaded and it is in the installer inside terminal but i dont know how to press ok [02:27] the problem is if a want to get content of a domain that is hosted in my server [02:27] I have a pointstick on my laptop, I was wondering if anyone knew how to enable the tap to click feature? [02:28] this is the wierd part :/ [02:28] [Solars]: ok, just to make sure, you know what partition your Windows is on and you have correctly added it into grub, right? i would double-check and triple-check everything. [02:28] sileni : enter ? [02:28] What can I do if I have no sound? There is a red x next to the speaker icon [02:28] <[Solars]> nicodarious its possible i screwed it up (mbr/grub) .. going to dig out supergrubdisk and look again [02:28] <[Solars]> windows is (hd0,0) and ubuntu is (hd1,0) [02:29] yah [02:29] georgy_28: i pressed enter and its not working [02:29] Kingsy101: did you read what the bot sent you? [02:29] Kingsy101: i've never heard of your procedure [02:29] [Solars]: ok, but at what point? /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda* what? [02:29] I installed lampp by 'tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.6.7.tar.gz -C /opt' and then used '/opt/lampp/lampp st' I thought lampp installed apache for you? [02:29] ermm 1 sec [02:29] sileni, : tab , then enter ? [02:30] Kingsy101: where did you get the instructions and package to do that? [02:30] <[Solars]> ./dev/sda1 for widnows and /dev/sda4 for ubuntu (assumingin sda1 = first disk) [02:30] anyone know how to recover disappeared windows? its showing thats running on "top" but i cant see where is it [02:30] from the lampp website [02:30] Ok, so networking is best left to XP. Ubuntu just does not work easily, without a ton of modifications? My XP machines share right away. [02:30] [Solars]: have you sda is the first disk, sda1 is the first partition on the first disk [02:30] apache friends sorry ---> http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html [02:30] georgy_28: i had to use arrow keys thanks [02:30] Uplink: you can kill the application using killall [02:30] unop, help me bro =[ [02:31] sileni, : ok [02:31] kitche, i cant kill it omg... im running an important connection [02:31] newbie help: what/where is 'default keyring' ... wireless app keeps asking for it ?? [02:31] Kingsy101: please don't install things into Ubuntu that are not designed for Ubuntu [02:31] <[Solars]> nicodarious then my references are correct [02:31] ubottu: tell Kingsy101 about lamp [02:31] Kingsy101, please see my private message [02:31] [Solars]: ok, have you ran from the grub prompt to double check on the grub areas? as far as windows is on (hd0,0) and Linux is on hd(0,4) [02:31] is there a way of disabling fsck? [02:31] Kingsy101: please see the bots message (and uninstall whatever you did install) [02:31] Uplink: then that window is not recoverable [02:31] oh, I didnt realise [02:31] or manually running it without rebooting? [02:31] kitche, why not? :| [02:31] I added an sftp using "connect to server." I'm trying to rsync files to it using sftp:// but to no avail. is what i'm trying to do possible? [02:32] Uplink: but what window are you talking about [02:32] gregbrady: have you tried to use LinNeighborhood? [02:32] Hey, I need to give /opt/lampp/htdocs/wordpress permissions, because wordpress is complaining about them. What's the command I should use? (not just chroot but the whole thing, if you don't mind) [02:32] kitche, i was running wine like "wine upp.exe" wine terminal is there... but upp.exe window is gone [02:32] sexy [02:32] Uplink: then it's a wine issue no clue how to recover windows for that [02:32] WDC: what permissions do you want to give? [02:33] crap [02:33] roukoun: errr, global if possible [02:33] ok ty kitche [02:33] gregbrady: that's what i use if i have to share with Windows. but there is something special that you must do if you have to share with Vista machines, no matter if you're using LN or NN4Linux [02:33] hello [02:33] i need help [02:33] nicodarious: nah, this should be easy. No probs. [02:33] nicodarious: all machines back to XP [02:33] <[Solars]> nicodarious i can't get to grub atm [02:33] I added an SSH share using "connect to server." I'm trying to rsync files to it using the destination as sftp://... but to no avail. is what i'm trying to do possible? [02:33] <[Solars]> my windows disks are offline [02:34] nicodarious: nope, all XP machines. Not an issue as I said. Back to trusty old XP. [02:34] <[Solars]> have no clue why they are offline [02:34] roukoun: What should I do [02:34] gregbrady: suit yourself. [02:34] i have (problems) installing from tar.gz packages, can someone tell me what package to install that will solve all the problems [02:34] nicodarious: It works [02:34] mie package contain all necessary tools [02:34] plz [02:34] WDC: use the chmod command to change the permission os a file... if you want to make the file readable-writable-executable by the user give the command 'chmod 700 /path/of/the/file' [02:35] teerawi, build-essential [02:35] teerawi, totally depends on exactly WHAT you are trying to compile. [02:35] roukoun: I know what directory, Just I have no idea what I should use [02:35] nicodarious: Linux does not without a ton of work [02:35] i tried with many packages but most failed [02:35] <[Solars]> going to use the windows to to 'repair' [02:35] <[Solars]> hoepfully [02:35] manything where missing [02:36] manythings where missing [02:36] is there any idea for wine to supports other language in en_US local? pls [02:36] teerawi, pls paste the error message at pastebin so we can help [02:36] [Solars]: do you see a grub screen when you boot? [02:36] <[Solars]> nicodarious not anymore [02:36] [Solars]: what happened? [02:36] [Solars]: you already popped in the XP CD? [02:37] <[Solars]> i get the disk failure and request to pu the system repair disk in ... and yes i did [02:37] hmmm what are the odds of doing damage to a mounted partition with fsck? [02:37] <[Solars]> but i can restart it before it does any repairs [02:37] [Solars]: see if you can run fdisk /mbr from windows [02:37] WDC: the 'chmod 700 /opt/lampp/htdocs/wordpress' command will give it global permissions... if you mean this! [02:37] !ftpd > curtis [02:37] curtis, please see my private message [02:37] <[Solars]> i reboot the machine after a a shutdown [02:37] <[Solars]> before the shutdown i edited grub and update-grub [02:38] here [02:38] http://pastebin.com/m5dd2f0d7 [02:38] [Solars]: then reboot with Linux rescue CD and reinstall Grub in it's place. then reset Windows settings inside of grub and you should be OK [02:38] this is last one i tried [02:38] roukoun: Woot! thanks mah fieind [02:38] is there a rhythmbox support channel or should i use this one? [02:38] teerawi, that can be an issue with compilin things from source.. there may be many "*-dev' packages you need to install to get all the needed support files to compile somthing. [02:38] teerawi, pls do put my nick next time infront if you are posting to me ... type wick and press tab [02:38] [Solars]: or you could just cut out Windows CD rescue all together and just reinstall grub from Linux rescue [02:39] <[Solars]> nicodarious don't think it wil llet me get that far ... we'll see how things goes with the windoes repair first [02:39] <[Solars]> since its started [02:39] WDC: have fun! [02:39] Wicked: i was wondering how to do this [02:39] hmm I have tried sudo tasksel and I have select lampp but it just sits there on 0% not doing anything.. is that normal? does it generally take a while? [02:39] [Solars]: ah, just wipe Win'e'XP off your system. don't you just hate people with dual personalities? think of a computer with them! ACK! :P [02:40] Wicked: http://pastebin.com/m5dd2f0d7 her is the link [02:40] teerawi, its a gtk package prob .. you either get the required package probably gtk2-dev or something like that or get the .deb which i recommend ... which package is it btw [02:40] teerawi, there seems to be someone named Wicked ... press tab twice [02:40] lol [02:40] my mistake [02:40] wickedpuppy: ok [02:41] wickedpuppy: is this fine [02:41] teerawi, there you go .. yes ... on chat my nick is highlighted as red .. stands out [02:41] teerawi, what package is it?

[02:42] wickedpuppy: dict-tools [02:42] wickedpuppy: stardict-tools [02:42] I don't understand things here. Linux is supposed to be a networking operating system but yet a common, simple user cannot get the networking working as simple as XP. I just don't get it. Am I missing something simple? [02:42] hmmm it seemed to be going well but after the installation it said 'tasksel: aptitude failed (100) [02:42] teerawi, dict-tools in the repo .. so is stardict-tools [02:42] gregbrady: i have one question.. have you installed smb onto your linux box? [02:42] question: i really need help getting some wireless networking to work. i've tried everything on the ubuntu wireless guide, yes! still no luck. please, someone with some expertise and patience, please pm me or something.. [02:42] does that mean the installation has failed? === crackhead is now known as xjohnthomasx [02:43] nicodarious: of course [02:43] gregbrady: if you have not, that's why Windows won't see your linux box [02:43] teerawi, sorry dict-tools is not ... stardict-tools is [02:43] wickedpuppy: where to get the deb for gtk2 [02:43] gregbrady: ok, so what are your two machines doing? [02:43] gregbrady, you are confuseing the term 'networking' with 'samba/network neighborhood' - YOU Can have a whole network of machines.. without anything related to networkneighborhood/smb/samba installed. [02:43] nicodarious: my XP sees the ubuntu machine [02:43] gregbrady: ok [02:43] teerawi, sudo apt-get install stardict-tools ... its in the repo .. why compile? [02:43] gregbrady: now, does Linux see XP machine shares? [02:44] nicodarious: yes [02:44] i need someone to walk me through wireless setup on ubuntu. i've tried all the tutorials. i know what im doing. yet i cant figure out why mine wont work! [02:44] wickedpuppy: i have faced this with other packes not in the rep [02:44] gregbrady, and yes.. samba can be a bit of an annoyance to get going.. and even with windows to windows - there can be issues with it. :) its somthing ive just leraned/tweaked/hammerd on over the years. [02:44] gregbrady: can you x-fer from XP to Linux with Linux pulling? how about vise-versa? [02:44] wickedpuppy: if gtk2 will solve it i need to install it [02:44] gregbrady: can you x-fer from Linux to XP with XP pulling? [02:44] dr_willis: I understand and sorry. I'm so fustrated [02:45] nicodarious: linux from XP is fine [02:45] teerawi, then lets solve those not in the repo .. lets solve one at a time ... [02:45] teerawi: can I give you a tip that will save you a lot of problems when compiling your own packages? [02:45] nicodarious: xp from linux no go [02:45] dr_willis: do you have experience with wireless setup on ubuntu? [02:45] xjohnthomasx, my advice.. run wires. :) [02:45] wickedpuppy: i would be grateful [02:45] gregbrady: ok, have you, with the 'shared' folder in linux, set the file permissions correctly? [02:45] dr_willis: not possible.. but thanks. [02:46] has anyone made eclipse work in ubuntu [02:46] anyone have really good expertise setting up wireless on ubuntu? [02:46] xjohnthomasx, then get ready to do a lot of reading/research and good luck. :) [02:46] nicodarious: yes....according to me. [02:46] dr_willis: i already have.. [02:46] teerawi, then install stardict-tools via sudo apt-get then lets see what other package you got prob ... [02:46] How can I make a cd that will autorun a script on it? [02:46] xjohnthomasx, a lot depends on the exact EXACT exact! (did i say exact?) chipset of your wireless card. [02:46] :) [02:46] i installed ubuntu then jdk + eclipse but when i import workspace from windows all the code has errors like scanner object not recognized and stuff [02:46] does anyone know why this might be [02:46] teerawi: If the package is already in the Ubuntu repositories, and you're building the latest version yourself, a nice trick is to install the required development libraries using sudo apt-get build-dep [02:46] gregbrady: stand by. installing the sharing for samba onto my machine to see if i can hammer this out with you. [02:47] gregbrady: i'm going on a personal line. join me [02:47] teerawi: Then, you can build your new source and it will find all the libraries it needs to link with first time with no errors [02:47] nicodarious: thanks. Sorry for being so down. [02:47] gregbrady: no prob. i have done this several times. now go to the personal line. hopefully the download won't be too long [02:48] Kingsy101: you are going to break your system very badly [02:48] gregbrady: you should see a PM i sent you [02:48] hm wierd on another ubuntu box everything works fine :D [02:48] wickedpuppy: http://pastebin.com/m260ca1a9 [02:49] teerawi: another tip. Again, if the package exists in the repositories, fetch the Ubuntu source using "apt-get source ", cd into the source directory, and load "debian/rules" into a text editor. Then search for the line that luanches the packages ./configure script, and you can get all the configure options that are correct for an Ubuntu install, and use them to configure your custom package [02:49] How can I make a cd that will autorun a script on it? [02:49] TigranG, thats normally not done under Linux. Not even sure of a way to do it.. other then making a file on it called 'RunMe_Please.sh' :) [02:50] nalioth - what do you mean? all I am trying to do is install lampp.. could you give me a hand possibly? get me back on track? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:50] dr_willis: ok, ubuntu lacks a lot of useful stuff.. [02:50] would anyone know how to ensure that you can vnc to the login screen even if nobody logins in [02:50] Kingsy101: i have had the bot send you TWICE the instructions [02:50] yea, I followed them and ended up with that [02:51] I uninstalled the lampp installation that I had from the apachefriends site [02:51] wickedpuppy: what if its not in the rep [02:51] teerawi, just normal prob ... use synaptic this time .. there should be ok .. or you can install the libmysqlclient-dev first ... [02:51] hm my bad [02:51] then I typed sudo tasksel highlighted lampp and installed it... [02:51] Kingsy101: the URL ubottu sent you is easily followed [02:51] its the same...doesnt work [02:51] :D [02:52] teerawi, then compile it .. but for 5 years of ubuntu usage i rarely use anything thats not in repo ... what package you wanna get? [02:52] Kingsy101: uninstall the lampp thing you got, plesae [02:52] I have [02:52] its gone [02:52] /opt/ is now empty [02:52] When you install ubuntu is grub automatically installed? [02:52] Kingsy101: then follow the easy steps at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [02:53] yea I have, I ran tasksel isnt that the first thing I should be doing? [02:53] wickedpuppy: there is a tool that convert babylon dictionary format to stardict format called bgl2txt [02:53] hi all [02:53] wickedpuppy: i have two dict need them to work with stardict [02:54] nalioth: when ubuntu is installed is grub also installed? [02:54] wickedpuppy: can you help me to get it [02:54] yea, sudo tasksel install lamp-server , I did that and got tasksel: aptitude failed (100) [02:54] mib_yfg3qe: Yes [02:54] mib_yfg3qe: so long as you're on a intel or amd64 box [02:54] Anybody have Ubuntu running on a dual boot Macbook Pro? I'm having some brightness issues and I'm new to linux, really stuck :( [02:54] can anyone help me with WIRELESS SETUP on ubuntu 8.04???? [02:54] teerawi, get them ? why not just download? [02:54] can i know how can i recompile my kernel using existing kernel files/headers in /usr/src [02:54] !wifi | xjohnthomasx [02:54] xjohnthomasx: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [02:54] Kingsy101: try installing them a package at a time [02:54] /msg ikonia you busy? [02:54] Flare183: i've alrady followd that all! [02:54] ... [02:54] thanks Flare183 and nalioth [02:55] ah right ok, so do I need to uninstall that now? [02:55] np mib_yfg3qe [02:55] Kingsy101: if it failed, what do you need uninstall? [02:55] Flare183: i have a level one wnc 0301 usb dongle, hw v. 5, which should use rtl8187B, and which i have setup using ndiswrapper... but it stilllll doesn't work!!! [02:55] they are not available in stardict page [02:56] I thought it had installed some stuff because I have a apache2 file in init.d now [02:56] I added an SSH share using "connect to server." I'm trying to rsync files to it using the destination as sftp://... but to no avail. is what i'm trying to do possible? [02:56] and I didnt before [02:56] wickedpuppy: are not available in stardict page [02:56] were can i find airsnort that i installed [02:57] teerawi, can i have their names? surely you seen them before? they do exist right? [02:57] hey guys i followed the ubuntu wiki on eclipse [02:57] but its still not working properly [02:57] scanner object still showing up as a mistake [02:57] i also made sure i have import java.util.*; [02:57] please any help i have homework due at 12 :( [02:57] is there a rhythmbox support channel or should i use this one? [02:58] the one available is an old database [02:58] english2arabic [02:58] i already checked it [02:58] wickedpuppy: the one available is an old database [02:58] wickedpuppy: english2arabic [02:58] wickedpuppy: i already checked it [02:59] Anybody know why my macbook pro ubuntu installation randomly dims to the point of turning of the screen? [02:59] teerawi, you are not asking me to google the name right? i am confused .. where would you want me to search? [03:00] wickedpuppy: i have them in bgl i only need to convert them to stardict format [03:00] wickedpuppy: do you know how to this [03:00] teerawi, bgl stands for .... [03:01] wickedpuppy: Babylon Glossary File [03:02] teerawi, there are things so specific only a few people would know ... i could help with general prob .. not with specific prob such as yours ... sorry ... [03:02] teerawi, never heard of it and never use any dict before ... [03:02] nick abeeky [03:02] wickedpuppy: iam thankful for your help [03:02] your tips is more than enough for me [03:02] wickedpuppy: tips is more than enough for me [03:03] wickedpuppy: your tips is more than enough for me [03:03] teerawi, sorry about it ... check the stardict page for help ... the page you download is usually the first place to turn for help .. not the general help channel [03:03] nalioth: sorry for bothering u again, but if I want to dual boot, isin't there a guided partioning system, rather than just manual? [03:03] wickedpuppy: i came here for installation help [03:03] I though there was Auto/Guided/Manual.. but I always use Manual. for partioning [03:04] wickedpuppy: last favour [03:04] hey guys im having some firefox troubles [03:04] teerawi, no prob .. ask away! [03:04] im running the newest version [03:04] and [03:04] dr_willis: which one allows you to create multiple partions without really having 2 do a lot of work? [03:05] shelby, go on [03:05] mib_gdm1gc, i dont consider the manual method to be much work.. You define the partiiton, and set its mountpoint/filesystem.. takes me all of 2 min perhaps to get / and /home and swap setup. [03:05] when i start it normally its pretty much crippled, sometimesd it can go to urls and sometimes it cant but you cant use any of the back/forward/etc buttons and no addresss shows in the adcdress bar BUT [03:05] when you start it as root its perfectly fine, so i think this is a permissions issue [03:05] wickedpuppy: where to get deb for gtk+-2.0 [03:05] so i chmodded my ~/.mozzila directory but still nothing :\ [03:05] mib_gdm1gc, or resize the windows partition, and leave part of the HD unallocated. and tell the installer to use the unallocated space. and it can auto-partition the unallocated space. [03:05] ~/.mozilla :P [03:06] * shelby is still getting used to this new keyboard [03:06] shelby, have you played with the about:config [03:06] nope [03:06] wickedpuppy: or install a package contain all nessesary tools to build installations [03:06] dr_willis: i tried that before and messed up the windows partition, is guided reccomended, i mean i kno how 2 do the manual but i dont want 2 risk anything [03:06] i havent even been to about:config since i stuck ubuntu on this laptop a few days ago [03:06] mib_gdm1gc, i always use manual normally. It pays to pay attention I guess.. [03:06] wickedpuppy: just for future occurrences [03:06] dr_willis: is wat you suggest the guided, or should I use GParted? [03:06] <[Solars]> nicodarious it appears i have other issues... system started to sparoticly reboot ... while in config menus (cmos and supergrub and the like) [03:07] <[Solars]> cmos said cpu temp was fairly cool [03:07] mib_gdm1gc, if you're that worried, i'd back up everything important before you try partitioning. [03:07] teerawi, try this command "apt-cache search gtk2" <-- thats will give you packages containing the name of the deb you are looking for [03:07] shelby, if you dont have any important data within firefox then try reinstalling it if you dont mind [03:07] mib_gdm1gc, i often use gparted to resize the windows oparttion. leaving the back part of the HD unalocated.. and then the installer can auto partition the unallocated space. thats often what i do. [03:07] are there any tools for the ipod touch yet? [03:07] sure [03:07] one sec [03:07] i need some information regarding switching from windows to ubuntu as a high school student. i want to know advantages, disadvantages, etc. PM me if you wish [03:07] dr_willis: i will do tat [03:07] i love ubuntu, im so spoiled that i can install a new program without breaking a sweat ;) [03:07] <[Solars]> wonder if something is over heating now [03:08] shelby, or running a virus scanner first... [03:08] dr_willis: and about the backing up, i do do that but i dont hav time to wait for a restore [03:08] mib_gdm1gc: during your install, you will be asked what t odo [03:08] mib_gdm1gc, those are the risks you take I guess.. [03:08] alex1234, try a live cd .. that will gives ya all the advice you need [03:08] wickedpuppy: thanks for ur help [03:08] [Solars]: that is ODD! [03:08] teerawi, no prob .. [03:08] lol, i doubt ive accumulated a very rare linux virus in the few days this laptop has been alive ;) [03:08] dr_willis: i thank you for your help [03:08] after all, i havent done anything that i could have accumulated any [03:08] wickedpuppy: i can continue from there [03:09] dr_willis, arent there like only 4 viruses for linux? [03:09] i have a lot of experience with linux. i just want to know if its alright to permanently switch to it. is it a good idea? can i do the same projects as i would with windows? [03:09] teerawi, good luck! :P [03:09] reinstalled, still has the problem... when you start it up, it dosent load the hnomepage and nothing is in the address bar [03:09] you think compiling it would help? [03:09] While viewing youtube, my wireless stopped working and, now nm-applet won't prompt be for the SSID key since I reset it on my router. What can I do to fix it? I think I've been hacked too since I don't have any bookmarks in firefox either. [03:09] wait is that all that is wrong?.. the address bar and homepage? [03:09] What can I do to fix it? [03:09] lspci still shows my network card [03:10] alex1234, if you got a lot of experience then you should know the answer ... sorry if i sound impolite.. but how we help you if you never tell us what kind of project .. what kind of requirement??? [03:10] nah, thats not all, most of the time it wont load urls, sound in flash dosent work... no buttons, etc... [03:10] its practically unusable [03:10] shelby, try opening up a terminal, and type "sudo apt-get purge firefox", then reinstall [03:10] crzyboi_Laptop, i doubt if any of those you are thinking of would even be considered a 'real' virus.. the few ive seen are just 'examples' and even they are only just barely defineable as a virus [03:11] kk [03:11] is there a way of disabling fsck? [03:11] or manually running it without rebooting or damaging a partition? [03:11] shelby, move your settings dir to some other dir/name - thus resetting all settings back to defaults.. and se eif that helps. It could be some weird setting/extension messing things up [03:11] no luck :( [03:11] yowshi, yes to both questions. [03:12] dr_willis: cool would love to know how. fsck is the reason i hate rebooting [03:12] shelby, any specific plugins u have installed? [03:12] yowshi, if you are fscking at every boot.. you got somthing weird going on. [03:12] just stumbleupon [03:13] lets see if uninstalling it helps any [03:13] yowshi, if using that ext2/3 tool for windows.. i suggest only using it as needed.. :) ive seen it cause issues.. you might want to boot a live cd and manually fsck all filesystems also [03:13] dr_willis: not every reboot no. but every reboot is one reboot closer to the bloody fsck running and some of my partitions are over 200 gigs. [03:13] got rid of stumbleupon. no luck :\ [03:14] yowshi, you can set the #'s btweeen fscks and you can easially set some drives to be a different #. or disable it competely (not reccomdnede) [03:14] dr_willis: 200+ gigs takes a while for fsck to get through where my computer does nothing but display the counter for like 20-30 minutes [03:14] yowshi, i run limnux on my laptop that i amconstantly booting up.. and i only see it fsck rarely.. like once a month or so. [03:14] dr_willis: what exactly does fsck do [03:14] hi @ all, im runing hardy heron 8.04 and i got some network printer issues with a hp office jet [03:14] yowshi, Hmm.. 250gb hd here.. takes about 3 min to check at boot time for me. [03:15] hitman1985, wat kind of issues? [03:15] dr_willis: odd mine takes alot longer then 3 minutes [03:15] fsck = filesystem check. [03:15] yowshi: it's kind of like chkdsk for Windows; it checks for & repairs errors. [03:15] hi [03:15] hello o have like 5 screen sessions how do i kill them? [03:15] Is there a way to get audioscrobbling support for Totem? [03:15] Is there anyway to scan for a virus on my machine? I know it's highly impossible, but I still may have one. [03:15] I* [03:15] clamxav [03:15] crzyboi_Laptop, i got actually 2 hp printers on my linksys wrt54g, one is an older 2600 series hp, and the newer officejet is the issue [03:15] schnauzer: if i recall correctly windows only needed that when the computer was shut down improperly [03:15] clamav* [03:15] J-_, most av software for linux..scans files for windows viruses. :) [03:15] lol [03:15] crzyboi_Laptop, i cant find it in auto detect mode [03:16] bye all. [03:16] why does ubuntu run it in my caseevery 25 reoots or so] [03:16] hmmm [03:16] hitman1985, can you find it manually? [03:16] does firefox use anything outside of ~/.mozilla? [03:16] shelby, im not sure [03:16] Will clamav scan every directory I have? [03:17] yowshi: linux also runs fsck when shut down improperly, on some filesystems. [03:17] crzyboi_Laptop, it doesnt even really show up as hp... on the router tho, just checked that :( [03:17] shelby, probably not because thats the root [03:17] My laptop wireless is a turd since upgrading to hardy. Is the broadcom driver included running 11mbs or something? [03:17] HP9F4E24 192.168.1.102 00-1b-78-9f-4e-24 Ethernet [03:17] €8° 192.168.1.103 00-0d-9d-01-83-e1 Ethernet [03:17] ah true [03:17] yeah my wireless just went kaput [03:17] hitman1985, the older printer works fine tho right? [03:17] crzyboi_Laptop, HP9F4E24 192.168.1.102 00-1b-78-9f-4e-24 Ethernet [03:17] €8° 192.168.1.103 00-0d-9d-01-83-e1 Ethernet............... this is what i got [03:17] hitman1985, its not the router? [03:17] I would like to prevent users from logging in via ssh and allow only users in a particular group. I've edited /etc/ssh/sshd_config and added the line "AllowGroups groupname" but any user can still ssh [03:17] schnauzer: yeah it runs some kind of short hand version of the fulkl scan it runs on my 250 gigs every 25 reboots [03:17] crzyboi_Laptop, yep the older one works just fine [03:18] shelby, sorry i couldnt help you out more [03:18] im going to try cp its fine [03:18] randomlogic78: did you restart the ssh service? [03:18] yes [03:18] you guys are awesome [03:18] crzyboi_Laptop, im guessign the new one has 102 in the end === edo32mb is now known as edo32mb|zzz [03:18] randomlogic78: change the ssh port [03:18] hey how can I extract backup.img.gz to /media/Backup/__restore_data__. i'm doing gunzip -c backup.img.gz while in the __restore_data__ directory and it doesnt work [03:18] schnauzer: those only take a minute or two to run. when it goes for a full scan it takes alot longer [03:18] you cant walk into a linux irc channel these days without having your head removed, im just glad you tried to be as helpful as you did :) [03:18] hitman1985, so it isnt a router problem... did you follow the network printing instructions from the manual? [03:18] J-_ why would that help? [03:19] then anyone that knows the port can still login [03:19] randomlogic78: did you include a denyusers line as well? [03:19] at least it wouldn't de default [03:19] crzyboi_Laptop, no manual :-( so i thought it might be just installing a driver or something like that [03:19] be* [03:19] grim76: no, what is the syntax for that [03:19] hitman1985, look up the latest drivers on hp's site [03:19] schnauzer: so how can i do something about this. if not disable it make it do the shorter scan or something. or manually run it whenthe comps booted so i can have some if minimal functionality out of my comp during the scan [03:19] crzyboi_Laptop, think i should give each pc on it a static ip ( one ip all the time the same ? ) [03:19] randomlogic78: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-security-4/sshdconf-allowusers-access-441070/ [03:20] thanks [03:20] hitman1985, yes... that way the computer knows exactly which one every time [03:20] crzyboi_Laptop, wow i havent done that in a loooong time :( [03:21] anyon4e else know anything about fsck? [03:21] i always give static ips [03:21] crzyboi_Laptop, on the linux i guess disable roaming mode ?\ [03:22] hello I have like 5 screen sessions how do i kill them? [03:22] hitman1985, ya [03:22] hmm i just installed ubuntu and i get so many updates like 126 mb of update should i just select all and install? [03:22] kevinO, restart X ctrl+alt+bkspc [03:22] crzyboi_Laptop, :) thank you. ima be right back i guess [03:22] is this like windows where the better you updated the secure you are? [03:23] sileni: this is true of any software. [03:23] crzyboi_Laptop, its on my vps though [03:23] im using "screen" [03:23] schnauzer: ok i will update all [03:23] sileni, is you update often... then you know ur secure and all the bugs are fixed [03:23] ok guys thanks [03:23] appreciate it [03:24] thanks deny fixed it [03:25] kevinO, so do it on ur vps [03:26] is intrepid stable these days? i haven't checked recently [03:26] College_trained, there's still alot of bugs [03:26] crzyboi_Laptop, there s no x on my vps [03:27] is* [03:27] lol [03:27] randomlogic78: no problem [03:27] College_trained: Intrepid is still not recommended for a production machine. [03:27] thanks [03:28] good to know [03:28] hitman1985, any success === outbri is now known as ridata [03:28] kevinO, u probably dont want to restart rite? [03:29] wee === steve__ is now known as Spragie` [03:29] kevinO: you can re-connect to those sessions and exit out of them. === College_trained is now known as DJBC [03:29] What do i add to rm to remove a folder? [03:29] crzyboi_Laptop, no i cant its not my vps, i just have an account [03:29] solexious: rm -r [03:30] grim76, i cant figure out how to exit them [03:30] i thought it was rmdir [03:30] DJBC: that works too [03:30] terminal [03:30] so rm /home/sol/* -r would remove any files and folders in /home/charles [03:30] just type exit then you will eventually get one that will say [screen terminating] [03:30] solexious: put the -r right after rm [03:31] solexious: and then yes, it will. [03:31] ridata, thank you [03:31] You won the fight, taking 4 damage and dealing 25 damage to your enemy. You gained $168 and 1 experience points. [03:31] You iced fUNKmOBSTAH. [03:31] lol i got my first kill at lvl 1!!! [03:31] DJBC: rmdir will remove the directories, rm -r will remove the directories and folders in one fell swoop [03:31] grim thanks [03:31] oh doh wrong window =\ [03:31] ridata: does rm -r remove all files and folders? [03:32] kevinO: Not a problem. [03:32] why does the alternative cdrom, install lilo instead of grub when you don't install a desktop ?

[03:46] FFEMTcJ: you can create a shortcut but for a specific machine at a time [03:46] is there a way of making fsck not do a full scan after x number of reboots? [03:47] !fsck [03:47] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot === ERICH is now known as ERIC_H [03:47] Davidgfhgfh: wait a minute to chech it [03:47] roukoun: mine are all setup via domain.. so it will always be the same domain [03:47] i dont remember what server or whatever i chose [03:47] i looked up guentilla or however it is spelled. i couldnt figure it out. i have only been on linux period for about 4 days and im having a little trouble adjusting [03:47] roukoun: how would i go about doing that?

[04:00] roukoun: yes, but i want it to automatically login to ssh.. is that possible?

[04:01] detach [04:01] pryorda: use the -U switch [04:01] FFEMTcJ: actually i'm not sure but i dont think so... anyway you can use an alias to do that... [04:01] ?

If all you want to do is see ubuntu for the first time, definitely go with wubi [04:29] pryorda: man update-rc.d. That's what you want.

[04:30] genii, in fact the one I need it is the one in the motherboard, and I need to disable the one from my Ati Card (I m talking about sound devices) [04:30] Okay, so I'm at this page suggested by danbh_intrepid, but I have no idea what any of this means. Is there somewhere that explains wth this terminology means? Someday I'll know what the heck all of this terminology means... [04:31] ubbuntu-newbie, you'd probably be better off just formatting and installing 8.04 [04:31] ubbuntu-newbie: it is, and I'll send you instructions, but I recommend you upgrade anyway since 7.04 is about to reach EOL [04:31] i have wubi and it is installing right now ill be back on ubuntu or back on xo [04:31] xp i mean [04:31] !firefox > ubbuntu-newbie [04:31] ubbuntu-newbie, please see my private message [04:31] SaintYossarian: what are you trying to do?

[04:33] anyone know where i could talk about em8300? [04:33] danbh_intrepid: Okay, in most of my use on other OS (Windows...) mousewheel click (mouse three) and roll means very fast scroll instead of standard roll. default in 8.04 it goes back in the browser. I'd like to change it to what I'm used to. [04:33] genii, :o :( ok, thanks anyway [04:33] XeKtRuM: You might want to try setting the onboard as the primary [04:33] tritium: i used gedit to open Xorg.0.log and started scrolling down w/ the scroll bar and my system froze up [04:33] yowshi: what is the output of 'uname -m'? [04:33] How do I configure a wifi connection from the console? [04:34] Is there anyway to see if my network is encrypted with WPA2 while connected to it? [04:34] when running apache2 how can i find out what my server's "host name" is ??? [04:34] genii, the only thing I want it is that my default soundcard (MB) goes in /dev/dsp and not in /dev/dsp1 [04:34] XeKtRuM: asoundconf has commands for listing and choosing the primary device for sound [04:34] SaS: unusual [04:34] jrib: you co0uld have just asked X86_64. but then i alreayd knew i was running a 64 bit system [04:34] jrib: im not understanding update-rc.d [04:34] tritium: where would i look to see if there is shared irqs/conflicting irqs ? im thinking maybe my pci wifi card and pci graphics card maybe conflicting ? [04:34] yowshi: zsnes isn't available on 64 bit [04:34] SaintYossarian: sorry mate, I dont think I can help [04:34] genii, my MB soundcard it is allready as the default one [04:35] jrib: everything in rc*.d that points to a init.d script will start? [04:35] pryorda: so just use sysv-rc-conf. It will let you change what services start on what levels [04:35] danbh_intrepid: Ah, well... thanks anyhow [04:35] jrib: ok so then hw do i install this from source. i presume i am going to need to do some work around [04:35] XeKtRuM: No other immediate ideas come to mind then [04:36] The thing it is that (I dont know Why) I cant reproduce systems sounds cause makes my system crash when playing sounds [04:36] is there a similar or better music player than rhythmbox? [04:36] pryorda: well everything in rcRUNLEVEL.d [04:36] pryorda: that starts with an S [04:36] !player | fallore [04:36] fallore: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).

[04:37] when I play a sound [04:38] jrib: bugger i can just wine it [04:38] test [04:38] * KidJoe1665 hates being ignored.... But must get answer to question... [04:38] so im trying to figure out what runlevel is exactly now [04:39] Hello, I Am Really New At This, Is There Anybody That Can Help Me With A Few Of My Questions?? [04:39] hi guys, i have a laptop with 256 RAM. Which ubuntu version do you recommend? [04:39] Does anyone know how to make Ubuntu 8.04 mouse configuration changes? (Mouse-3 or wheel clicks DO cause browser-back, WANT them to cause 'fast-scroll') [04:39] pryorda: runlevels 2-5 are identical by default. 2 is default [04:39] !myspace [04:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about myspace [04:39] !java [04:39] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [04:39] jrib: i read the man on runlevel [04:39] SO what is Run level [04:39] Uhh hey. I tried to compile something with scite but it spits out a .o file and I have no idea what to do with it. I couldn't find a scite room so... meh. [04:40] if I make a script to execute on start [04:41] jrib: I'm running ubuntu in a vm [04:41] I need to give it permissions? [04:41] is it normal for it to take forever [04:41] wish ones? [04:41] pryorda: forever to do what? [04:41] Load Period [04:41] I'm alive, I thought I would never get back on the net! [04:41] Xonara: .o file is the executable [04:41] its just really slow [04:42] there are no decent realtek wifi drivers for rtl8187b :( [04:42] pryorda: forever isn't very accurate, but it doesn't take a long time to boot in a vm for me [04:42] Xonara: but I believe this is the wrong channel to ask this question [04:42] this driver BARELY works [04:42] jrib: hardware? [04:42] pryorda: core 2 duo 1.8ghz, 2gb ram [04:42] hi can anyone help me? how do i customize the startup programs in hardy? cause i tried using "sessions" preferences but AWN never starts automatically everytime i reboot... [04:42] i have 1.8 ghz sempron 1 gig of ram [04:43] Could that be the reason [04:43] <^paradox^> im in need of a hand setting up sharing of a printer over a network. itll be shared between a ubuntu and a vista pc. we have cable internet, vonage phone service and the router is a vonage one with 4 ethernet ports, 2 phone ports. was hoping someone could help me finish up. heres my previous conversation for referrence http://rafb.net/p/ynwmR762.html [04:43] yeah I figured [04:43] I tried running it and... Really, nothing happened. [04:43] ^paradox^: read teh man on samba [04:43] pryorda: should be more than enough. what vm are you using? [04:43] what versions of Ubuntu do you recommend for a 256 RAM laptop? [04:43] Cool-Nick: xubuntu [04:43] Xonara: you will have to chmod +x .o [04:43] VMware Server 2 [04:44] I'll try that [04:44] jrib: i don't like it [04:44] its running better once x starts [04:44] but its lagging as shit when you start say fluxbox [04:44] jrib: xfce if awful [04:44] sorry for cursing [04:44] pryorda: tried to see if the same thing happens with a different distro? [04:45] jrib: it happens with freebsd too [04:45] Cool-Nick: well, gnome and kde will probably be sluggish unless you buy some more ram. ram is cheap [04:45] Fluxbox started right up [04:45] Cool-Nick: any chance you could replace one of the 128MB sticks with a 256? [04:45] maybe it just needed vmware tools [04:45] I tried typing in the filename and it complains that test.o isn't a command. [04:45] pryorda: try the vmware channel, they might have some ideas [04:45] 384 should be enough [04:45] umm... [04:45] jrib: its better now [04:45] heh [04:46] Anyone know how to change a Ubuntu 8.04 mouse-3 configuration change? [04:46] jrib: i have 256 DDR 333MHz ram. It's toooooo expensive [04:46] vmware tools is what it needed [04:46] crdlb: i have 256 [04:46] Cool-Nick: usually they give you two sticks of 128MB to save money [04:46] Cool-Nick: "512 DDR 333MHz" in google gives me hits for like 30 bucks [04:47] how do i create command line shortcuts? as in vim /etc/apache/sites-available/default <- edithttp [04:47] eTiger13: "alias" [04:47] Xonara: try "./test.o" [04:48] can anyone read what I am typing? [04:48] KidJoe1665: yeah [04:48] eTiger13: your ~/.bashrc has some examples of alias definitions you can check out [04:48] Will nm-applet show my SSID even if I tell it not to broadcast on my router? I'm connected to it on wireless but I can see my network and others. [04:48] J-_: no [04:48] jrib: i don't know, but i asked in the market. 1 GB costs 100$! [04:48] ok, good so i'm just being ignored... not like i was silanced or anything... [04:48] tritium: Sounds good. :D [04:48] terminal says it can't execute binary file... [04:48] tritium: Thanks. [04:49] evening all [04:49] jrib: i wish i get 2GB RAM. My CPU is 1.6GHz which is really great [04:49] jrib: if i install 2GB RAM, my laptop would live for 3 years [04:50] crdlb: i have one 256 [04:50] Xonara: I would google "programming on linux" and see if you get anything [04:50] One more daft question. Can I somehow see if my network is using WPA2 to connect and not some other encryption? [04:50] Xonara: you need to learn how the compiler works first [04:50] Meh. Thanks for helping though [04:51] Scite seemed to work fine in windows, but it was a while back ago and I don't remember much of it [04:51] J-_: sudo iwlist scan then look for the essid of your wap, examine the stanzas there [04:51] Can anyone think of a reason why GRUB would try to boot from sda1 when I explicitely told it to look in sdb1? [04:52] jrib: google this "1GB DDR SDRAM 333MHz notebook" [04:52] genii: what do you mean by ifacename? My network name? [04:52] $100 [04:52] J-_: wlan0 ath0 etc etc [04:52] Xonara: scite just uses a wrapper script for gCC. if you're serious about programming you should learn how gcc works first [04:52] genii: thanks muchly [04:53] Anyone know how to enable auto-scroll in FF3.01 for Ubuntu 8.04? [04:53] Xonara: good luck with your learning though [04:53] thanks :P [04:54] can anyone spare five minutes to help me with adding a user to the sudoers sources.list please? [04:54] hi can anyone help me? how do i customize the startup programs in hardy? cause i tried using "sessions" preferences but AWN never starts automatically everytime i reboot... [04:54] rafkid: simple -- add them to the "admin" group. Don't touch the /etc/sudoers file at all. [04:55] FF 3.03beta is out in the repos now [04:55] 3.03 is unacceptable to me for unrelated reasons. ;.; [04:55] tritium, I think he means he only wants them to be able to edit sources.list ? [04:55] What would I use to configure Some stuff [04:55] bah [04:55] SaintPaulTom, I'd prefer a version 4.04 [04:55] SaintPaulTom, that wasn't directed at you. i was just announcing it [04:55] Mez: maybe so. Wording was odd. [04:55] does anybody know what this mean: [04:55] ahtmly2k: awn is a menu plugin right?

[04:57] oh... usb speakers [04:57] Mez: now we'll never know for sure [04:57] KK i'll try that, thanks =] [04:57] does anybody know what this means: /etx/unit.d/rc:317:sed:not found init:unable to execute "/bin/sh" for rc-default:no such file or directory init:rc default main process (6871) terminated with status 255 [04:58] i am using wubi and windows xp does anybody know whay this mean does anybody know what this means: /etx/unit.d/rc:317:sed:not found init:unable to execute "/bin/sh" for rc-default:no such file or directory init:rc default main process (6871) terminated with status 255 [04:58] cek [04:59] can anyone tell me why you would not pm someone on this channel - why is it not appropriate that is? most grateful for the protocol nudge [04:59] <|thunder> hey all, how can I get exact manufacturer, vendor and device ID codes out of my hardware ? im trying with lshw, but it tells me the name, i need corrosponding codes. any ideas ? googles not much help [05:00] Davidgfhgfh: Does command: apt-cache policy sed show that it is installed? (*** beside one of the versions) [05:00] |thunder: lspci [05:00] Hello [05:00] genii: i am using wubi and have no clue what that apt-cache means i am new to ubuntu just installed wubi about 20 minutes ago [05:01] <|thunder> mooja; thanks, ill have a look [05:01] Umm, what exactly do people mean when they say to "build" a file? [05:02] Davidgfhgfh: Open application called Terminal and type in the command. It will list available versions of the program called "sed" and show 3 asterisks beside one of those if it is installed. If not installed, no 3 asterisks [05:02] Hi everyone, I am a ubuntu 8.04 user, and am trying to upgrade to 8.10 everything seems to be going good, just the connection is very slow, its downloading these packages at like 20k or less .. and i have a 6 mbit DSL connection anyone know what may be up with the repos? [05:02] Xonara: compile a program? [05:02] <|thunder> mooja; lspci -nn, that did it, allmybaserbelong2you :) [05:02] <|thunder> mooja; thanks a million. [05:02] |thunder: np :) [05:03] Davidgfhgfh: The most likely thing is that the program "sed" is not yet installed on your system [05:03] sorry i need another help... i've recently did some uninstalling few packages... but i feel that they leave a lot of junk... because my harddisk is ext3 is still full... and i store my private documents on my ntfs how can i make sure that the uninstalled packages are really gone and have no junks left behind? [05:03] genii: i press enter to load ubuntu from the bootloader and it goes to a screen where it has the logo and loading bar then, after awhile of it frozen in the quarter mark that shows up about 100 times then the second and third messeges i posted comes up [05:03] Yeah [05:03] I have black ipod nano 8gb and gtkpod works great for managing videos and song ,but I can't manage my phones on it. does anyone have the same thing ? if so what do you use ? [05:03] genii: unlikely, as ubuntu-minimal depends on it [05:03] Davidgfhgfh: Ah, so not even booting fully then [05:03] whats the correct way to set server timezone? [05:04] genii: yes [05:04] ahtmly2k: hey there is a great program to see where the most of your disk useage is going to [05:04] genii: you need my specs [05:04] ahtmly2k: it will show it in a graph that way you can narrow down and find out where the most space is going to [05:04] tritium: do tell why is it inappropriate to pm on this channel please? [05:04] rafkid: it's just common courtesy/etiquette [05:04] Can anyone think of a reason why GRUB would try to boot from sda1 when I explicitely told it to look in sdb1? [05:04] !pm | rafkid [05:04] rafkid: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you.

[05:06] tritium: thank you [05:06] hi, my screen is flickering when I get to the login screen (I was playing around with what the video card was). How am I able to change it back? I forgot the button I need to push. F#_, right? [05:06] genii: i dont know is there a way to tell [05:06] how can I tell if the physical ethernet cord is plugged to the socket (static ip) ?

[05:07] minerale: visual inspection? [05:07] 大家好啊 [05:07] i'm connected to it via remote KVM [05:07] minerale: Try to ping the gateway [05:07] So i directed everything to my USB speakers and the levles are up and i can hear a sound like it's "Starting Up" when i plug them in but i can't hear music when it says it's playing still... [05:07] wow @ chinese letters ;x [05:07] will ifconfig tell me if the wire is attached? [05:08] ??没人理我？ [05:08] minerale: that should tell you if the card is recognized [05:08] genii: is there a way to rell if i am using raid i dont know what raid is [05:08] Davidgfhgfh: Probably, but offhand I forgoet most of what I knew about windows [05:08] minerale: and if it is, it will show the ip address associated with the card (eth#) [05:08] tritium: i guessed as much - it is not so much "common courtesy" as a rule of your own - thank you for the lesson [05:09] So i directed everything to my USB speakers and the levels are up and i can hear a sound like it's "Starting Up" when i plug them in but i can't hear music when it says it's playing still... [05:09] Davidgfhgfh: Raid is when you are storing data across several drives as if they are single drive. Wubi hates it [05:09] rafkid: no, it's not a rule of my own. [05:10] ubottu: tell rafkid about pm [05:10] rafkid, please see my private message [05:10] tritium: as you wish [05:10] genii: i only have one harddrive in my computer but i do have a ext harddrive [05:10] rafkid: cool it [05:10] Davidgfhgfh: OK, odds are no raid set up then [05:11] hi, my screen is flickering when I get to the login screen (I was playing around with what the video card was). How am I able to change it back? I forgot the button I need to push. F#_, right? [05:11] Davidgfhgfh: did you try removing the ext hd ? [05:11] genii: should i unplug that [05:11] Davidgfhgfh: Probably not [05:11] sas and genii: before i go to bed tonight ill try it without ext harddrive..... is there anything else that could possibly be causing this problem [05:12] acrousey: you mean ctrl+alt+f1 for a console ? [05:12] yeah [05:12] ;] [05:13] SaS: thanks! Would you happen to know a way to set it to previous settings, or am i kind of screwed there? [05:13] Davidgfhgfh: Was it an external drive you are attempting install onto? [05:13] genii: no [05:13] acrousey: what was the setting you changed? [05:13] video card === daklan_cls is now known as daklan [05:14] acrousey: you might have to edit your X11 config file from the console [05:14] hello [05:14] tritium: cool what? I am simply trying to get some help from these like minded people? [05:14] how do i add music to my ipod [05:14] SaS: I have an integrated graphics card, so, yeah...... [05:15] mooja: just delete vid card info you think? [05:15] How do I kill X [05:15] Jordan_U: would it be possible somehow to do two executes? gnome-terminal -e "ssh user@domain.com" "command 2"? [05:15] acrousey: as mooja said you probably will have to edit your X11 conf file, if it worked before, you can change the "settings" back ... try running the live version and comparing the x11 conf files [05:15] i was using xdm [05:15] stopped it and i wanna stop X cause its still running [05:15] rafkid: you know exactly what [05:16] Can anyone help me with SMTP? [05:16] acrousey: I would try renaming your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to something like /etc/X11/xorg2.conf and then trying to restart your X [05:16] FFEMTcJ: Yes, do you want the second command to be run on the remote machine or the local machine? [05:16] remote [05:17] acrousey: when X server won't "see" the config file it will run with the safest possible settings [05:17] I'm sure someone can help me lol [05:17] !ask [05:17] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[05:17] anyone know why the repo's ubuntu 8.04 is using to upgrade to 8.10 is downloading soooo slow? [05:17] Don't ask to ask, just ask your question, verbosely. [05:17] DieselHopper: ask your specific question [05:17] tritium: i don't actually - I do know you appear to be abusing your position here when I am just trying to get some help - you have been rude and threatening so far when I a new to this environment and have not been rude to anyone [05:17] Like Lofde_ did. [05:18] I'm not going to type my question unless I know someone can help me with it :P [05:18] acrousey: so basically do "sudo mv /etc/X11/xconf.conf /etc/X11/xconf2.conf" an dthen restart the X11 [05:18] FFEMTcJ: Just add the command as the last parameter to ssh, ie: gnome-terminal -e "ssh whoever@wherever command" [05:18] DieselHopper: ...

Works great under Windows at 1280x1024 @ 70 Hz. Ubuntu is seemingly only allowing 60. I've read dozens of pages / faqs about xorg.conf, tried inserting various modelines, etc. No matter what I do, the "Screen Resolution" dialog always shows 1280x1024, 60 Hz. [05:26] ludwig__: its still alpha (supposed to go beta today according to the time line) while it isnt yet released... i am sure its more stable than any operating system out of redmond WA :) [05:26] ludwig__: No, it's not [05:26] Can someone tell me what the "hardy" APT repository contains?

[05:30] tritium: thnx again for advice; I am somewhat new to linux, i have taken short classes on linux which tought very basic commands so i basically know nothing about linux lol [05:30] it depends on what your monitor supports, and which you would like to use [05:30] Jordan_U: yes.. but im not sure if it was from the server or my local because the screen that says you have logged in never appeared [05:30] Lofde_, as shown above, I'm trying to get my CRT to 1280x1024 @ 75. [05:30] normally monitors default to 60hz but it depends on your resolution [05:30] SaS: sure. Welcome, and good luck. (And good night!) [05:30] <^paradox^> im in need of a hand setting up sharing of a printer over a network. itll be shared between a ubuntu and a vista pc. we have cable internet, vonage phone service and the router is a vonage one with 4 ethernet ports, 2 phone ports. was hoping someone could help me finish up. heres my previous conversation for referrence http://rafb.net/p/ynwmR762.html [05:30] does your monitor support that res? [05:30] Yes. Works great under Windows at it. [05:30] hold on a sec [05:31] theres a good program for linux to change resolutions [05:31] I've tried various things in /etc/X11/xorg.conf . [05:31] <^paradox^> medibuntu [05:31] FFEMTcJ: That "screen" is the Message Of The Day ( MOTD ) and it only shows up when you start a login shell, you are starting ping, not a login shell [05:31] do you have System, Preferences, Screen Resolution ? [05:31] But after Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, things seem to always revert. Going to "System" / "Screen Resolutions" always shows 1280x1024 @ 60. [05:32] Yes, there. [05:32] FFEMTcJ: It's odd that screen -x isn't working though [05:32] hey guys, my computer keeps beeping randomly but I don't see any error messages pop up or anything. is there a way to check for error messages via the terminal? [05:32] i set it to gnome-terminal -e "ssh user@domain.com ping google.com" and it pinged google.. [05:32] but i dont know if it was before or after login [05:33] Hello, what do i need to install rar file? [05:33] droopsta915: rar files need to be extracted like a .zip [05:33] does anybody know what this means: /etx/unit.d/rc:317:sed:not found init:unable to execute "/bin/sh" for rc-default:no such file or directory init:rc default main process (6871) terminated with status 255 [05:33] droopsta915: rar files are archive files or compressed files, like zip [05:33] just xtract, cool, thanx [05:33] http://paste.ubuntu.com/50721/ [05:33] Lofde_, is it possible that the "Screen Resolution" dialog just isn't reflecting the actual settings? [05:34] I just installed virtualbox with windows xp; however, I get no internet connection. Please help. [05:34] FFEMTcJ: It was almost certainly after login [05:34] someone can probably help me with my wireless fairly easily and make me very happy [05:34] ziesemer_: id say its probably showing whats actually set [05:34] I pasted some ouput in that file there [05:35] I have ar5212 atheros that hardy thinks has proprietary drivers that aren't seeming to work... I used to have the wireless working on an old kernel+network manager but then newer kernels weren't working but now I've upgraded to hardy [05:35] Akazawa: beeping randomly ? [05:35] i tryed extracting a rar file but said archive type not supported. [05:35] anyone got a clue how I can get my wireless working? [05:35] So I've used http://www.sh.nu/nvidia/gtf.php, for example. It gives me a modeline, which I pasted in to Section "Monitor". [05:35] Lofde_: yes, as if it is getting an error every now and then [05:36] Do I need to still add HorizSync, VertRefresh, etc.? [05:36] droopsta915: RAR isnt supported by archive roller ... theres a program that will freely unrar .rar files in ubuntu avaible from apt-get [05:36] 1 second [05:36] I'm downloading a very large amount of files right nwo and I'm wonderign if wget is having errors [05:36] FFEMTcJ: Try changing the preferences in gnome-terminal to keep the terminal open after the command exits, then you will be able to see the error message [05:36] anyone no the apt-get to open rar files? [05:36] since that is the only thing going on on that computer [05:37] !rar | droopsta915 [05:37] droopsta915: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft.

[05:39] Jordan_U: it doesnt appear to be connecting first for some reason.. is there a way to put a pause in there before the second command? [05:39] anyone from houston? [05:39] does anyone know how where error messages are stored? [05:39] FFEMTcJ: Why do you think that it's not connecting first? [05:40] like the system and application error messages log files or whatever [05:40] no idea.. [05:40] FFEMTcJ: I seriously doubt that is happening [05:40] hey guys I need your help with a python script I am running. have a background python script running from init.d. The script takes in parameters and then executes a commandline program. System is debian based. I would like the program to launch the second program in its own environment. As it a completely seperate process. I am using os.execvp but i keep getting errors. command is as follows... os.execvp( 'sudo', 'sudo', 'program', [05:40] '-s', '-f', 'config.file') is that the correct format? I am getting all sorts of errors...also would you recommend using a different api instead of os.execvp? I have read the doc's and call popen don't seem to fit the bill. [05:40] I have the Wireless Connection Manager 1.10 for connecting and finding wireless networks easily, but it doesnt auto connect on boot, anyone know how to make it [05:40] how can I use voice / video chat with empathy? [05:40] Jordan_U: if I take the screen -x part out, it connects.. so it seems like the second command is either overruling or coming to fast or something for the first command === raman is now known as ubuntuuser [05:42] FFEMTcJ: If you don't have a command as the last parameter then it starts bash, if you do it starts the command you give instead. Because the command you give exits immediately the ssh session closes === ubuntuuser is now known as ubuntuuser11111 [05:42] FFEMTcJ: Same way that the session closes when bash exits normally [05:42] so my computer keeps making beeps of more then one frequency, does anyone have a clue how to check for errors? I don;t know where the error logs are stored can anyone give me a hand? [05:42] I messed up my desktop using window key + r ,and moved it a bit to the left, how do i fix it [05:42] Jordan_U: so theres no way to make a pause between the ssh and the screen? [05:43] FFEMTcJ: No, there is, it just won't change anything [05:43] I messed up my desktop using window key + r ,and moved it a bit to the left, how do i fix it [05:43] Jordan_U: what is the way for the pause if you dont mind [05:43] <^paradox^> Akazawa: i been here nearly 2hrs [05:44] Akazawa: http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm [05:45] ping [05:45] can anyone tell me which is the best for Ubuntu, Empathy or Pidgin [05:46] wariskampar: depends on pref really. I am personally inlove with pidgin [05:46] so basically all this beeping started AFTER I did the latest updates [05:46] next gnome release will use Empathy instead [05:46] the beeping happens while the computer is running, not durign boot legend2440 [05:46] Akazawn: does the beeps start when you turn on the computer or when the os is booted fully === manuel_ is now known as xtremox [05:46] Akazawa: laptop or desktop ? [05:46] is that mean, they will dump Pidgin [05:47] Lofde_: desktop [05:47] irsii rulez [05:47] Akazawa: did you overclock or is your fan going loud or not at all? [05:47] malikul: neither [05:47] Akazawa: what kind of desktop? [05:47] who makes it [05:47] Akazawa: also are the beeps coming from the speakers or from the mobo [05:47] Akazawa: maybe its just some application that u run?... try killing ur X and c if its keep beeping [05:47] from the mobo [05:47] Jordan_U: what is the way to create a pause please?

[05:51] in total my cpu is only in use by 3% [05:51] so I doubt it is overheating [05:51] Akazawa: I am not sure. Could try calling dell. CPU % shouldn't make a difference.

[05:51] I'm doing a shit load of hard drive and wireless stuff right now though [05:51] malikul: no, pentium 4 [05:52] Akazawa: sometimes a dell can make beeps on start if its got some issues, but they shouldnt keep going into the computers operation [05:52] <^paradox^> i really need a hand. got a shitload of files to print [05:52] Akazawa: the p4 should throttle down when overheating: is the system getting slower [05:52] Lofde_: this computer has been on for months [05:52] is it a Percision or Optiplex ?

[05:55] darkbishop: how do I stop X [05:56] akazawa: if you using ubuntu then u can issue this command to kill ur X "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [05:56] ziesemer_: you could run the X.org configuration tool ? [05:56] Which is? [05:56] Akazawa: oh... to start it back you just change the command to start [05:56] (I didn't see it listed in any of the 12+ FAQs I read about xorg.conf...)

(Why can't I find this on the Ubuntu Wiki, Google, etc.??) [06:14] ziesemer_: because YOU haven't blogged about it yet :) [06:14] yes but i'd have to do it from a live cd right? [06:14] Well, that's interesting. I now appear to be at a "dead" console. [06:15] jlilly: what exactly do you mean? what sort of controller? hardware? fakeraid? software? both installations on the same logical disk or on two seperate logical disks? [06:15] ziesemer_: perhaps try alt+f2? [06:15] It echos all my text, but nothing happens. [06:15] i mean i got gparted... but it wont resiza while its mounted... duh [06:15] Yep, F2 did it. [06:15] What _was_ I seeing? [06:15] brianski: 4 HDD's using a raid controller on the motherboard. [06:15] ziesemer_: no clue, but alt+f2 takes you to another tty [06:15] ahtmly2k, like I said .. you can't resize anything while it's mounted. There's probably a way to unmount it.. but I'm not sure how. [06:15] ehmn... i'm desperate for an extra space for americas army [06:15] ziesemer_: you were seeing tty7, which had nothing on it once X was killed [06:15] brianski: just curious if grub could pass off to raid. [06:16] ctrl + alt + F2 for a different tty [06:16] I would assume so, but I've also never build a raided machine. [06:16] jlilly: the answer is "it depends" but probably [06:16] * jlilly nods. [06:16] cool. thx. [06:16] jlilly: i suggest srtongly you go for hardware raid [06:16] <^paradox^> im in need of a hand setting up sharing of a printer over a network. itll be shared between a ubuntu and a vista pc. we have cable internet, vonage phone service and the router is a vonage one with 4 ethernet ports, 2 phone ports. was hoping someone could help me finish up. heres my previous conversation for referrence http://rafb.net/p/ynwmR762.html [06:16] jlilly, was that an invite to blog about this once I get it figured out? It honestly doesn't exist anywhere else yet?? [06:16] brianski: hardware as in a raid card or will the mobo due? [06:16] that way you can have two logical disks (that appear to the hardware as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb) made out of 2 of your physical disks each [06:17] ziesemer_: it was an invitation. There's never too much information out there. [06:17] help i need to define my thinkpad layout to my hardy heron gnome how do i do this??? [06:17] jlilly: the "raid" on motherboards isn't hardware raid. you can get it to work, but it's more complicated and less ideal in terms of performance and data security [06:17] OK, I finally got "X -config" to just run. Though I'm still looking for something else. [06:17] <^paradox^> can someone give me a hand? i got a lot of work to do [06:17] At one point, I had a console-type GUI pop-up with a list of monitor choices, etc. [06:17] yea... I don't know that I'll even be able to run linux on the compy I'll be building. Not sure if there's support for the gfx cards [06:18] and there's definitely not room enough for a raid card in the form factor case I'll be getting. [06:18] Suppose I'll burn that bridge when I get there :) [06:18] ^paradox^, not sure how to do what your asking.. and if nobody here knows you might try #linux [06:18] hello all [06:18] :D [06:18] XD [06:19] <^paradox^> izinucs: the printer is on my girlfriends PC [06:19] <^paradox^> hers runs vista home [06:19] i hate this [06:19] why won't firefox show some sites [06:19] jlilly: i used to use windows xp and vista only because needed software for them, now that i have ubuntu with virtualbox, i love linux and never would look back at windows.. [06:19] like i can't load volkswagen.com [06:19] speener: did you just upgrade firefox? [06:19] <^paradox^> id like to make it a shared printer [06:19] man there are a lot of junk on my filesystem... i cant tell the difference from useless file and important files... [06:19] brianski: yep [06:20] speener: is that when the prob started? [06:20] b/c i'm having no flash joy since the upgrade [06:20] hi [06:20] speener, try clearing your cache [06:20] ^paradox^, arg.. you have to share it first on vista.. then attach the linux machine to it. like I said .. I don't know how to do that. I use networked printers.. === Baber_ is now known as Baber [06:20] brianski: well not really, i've had some problems with other sites... [06:20] but not this one [06:20] speener, clear your cache and delete the cookies you have for the problem sites [06:20] <^paradox^> someone who does? [06:20] ^paradox^: i suggest hooking the printer up to the ubuntu machine. windows' printer sharing is notoriously bad [06:21] speener: 'ang on, let mecheck [06:21] is this true that linux can recover floppy disks that are unusable in windows? [06:21] linux can do anything! lol jk, i dunno [06:21] Lofde_: that's cool. I need windows to play Warhammer ;) [06:21] can anyone help me with F-Spot [06:21] wariskampar, what's up [06:22] yeah maybe because it has an advance encryption algorithm [06:22] than windows [06:22] nice [06:22] it worked [06:22] thanx kindofabuzz [06:22] when try to export to PICASA (within F-Spot), F-Spot will be terminated [06:23] speener, np, for all your FF problems and needs, try forums.mozillazine.org, good community there [06:23] wariskampar, you mean to the web hosting portion of picasa? [06:23] <^paradox^> fraid i cant hook it up to my machine. she bought it so u know [06:23] how can i recover floppy disks in ubuntu? [06:23] Photo>Export>PicasaWeb.. [06:24] grrr something is jamming my sound driver and i cant figure out the problem [06:24] i was just listening to something playing on vlc i close it and now i cant play anything else [06:25] when run F-Spot in Terminal, i got error message [06:25] Reloading [06:25] item changed [06:25] (f-spot:9190): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: GdkPixbufLoader finalized without calling gdk_pixbuf_loader_close() - this is not allowed. You must explicitly end the data stream to the loader before dropping the last reference. [06:25] yowshi, if i dont use pulseaudio, that happens if i have a browser open like firefox (it locks my audio). also happens with amarok and VirualMachines etc (anything that could use sound) [06:25] wariskampar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:25] wariskampar, you probably have either your user name or password or both incorrect and the connection is terminating. because it didn't connect fspot bombs. [06:25] speener: yeah i can't load vw.com either [06:25] but in my case all flash is broken [06:25] can any body help me? how can i recover floppy disks in ubuntu? [06:25] Daft_Punk: ooook so mind running me through getting pulse audio to replace alsa? i atempted this once before and it led to disaster and me uninstalling every reference to pulse audio [06:26] izinucs, what is fspot bomb [06:26] how do i safely clear cache in /var...? [06:26] is it possible? [06:26] ahtmly2k: which cache? [06:26] how can i get my up/down key to work? [06:26] wariskampar, just an expression.. substitute "fspot errors and closes." [06:26] i'm not psychic but i suspect you mean the package cache,in which case: sudo apt-get clean [06:26] hmmm [06:26] yowshi, all i did was System>Preferences>Sound then change the first 3 on the devices tab to PulseAudio [06:26] i'm thinkin of gettin a vw [06:26] they're nice [06:27] !offtopic | speener [06:27] speener: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

Its cutting mine short, any ideas ? [06:28] hello everyone [06:29] izinucs, ok..then what [06:29] roger: edit the audio in audacity and add some silence at the end? [06:29] it's a hack, but [06:29] i just got kicked out of 'off topic' [06:29] could any one help me in connecting the remote servers of websites [06:29] Daft_Punk: since playing with it when i was using SL buggered my sound system on a repeated basis i went through system package manager and uninstalled every reference to pulse audio i could find and installed everything alsa [06:29] hmm. It doesnt seem to matter how long the clip is though. even the short ones get cut off [06:29] wariskampar, reload fspot.. check your user name and password for picasa web and try again.

Welcome! [06:30] kindofabuzz: i have to delete the cache everytime i go to another link [06:30] yeah ythen help [06:30] geez [06:30] all you do is play with some bot [06:30] briansky: instead of sudo apt-get clean, I recommend using: sudo apt-get autoclean, it clears out older version of packages that "isn't available" anymore, so if you want to do a re-install of some components, you don't have to re-download them. [06:30] already reload (do you mean restart) few times but problem persist [06:30] whats really weird is that after i open konversation and test it in the gdm settings window it doesnt get cut off. [06:30] brainski [06:30] yowshi, when i use alsa, i notice issues with the sound locking, so if i was playing amarok music, then open youtube, i cant listen to youtube. i changed to pulseaudio (on the suggestion of someone else) and now i can listen to both at the same time, but i dont know why it doesnt work for u :( sorry [06:30] arght, typo. [06:30] speener, try posting your probelm on forums.mozillazine.org, alot of help there, you may need to create a new profile [06:30] how the hell can someones keyboard layout be so screwed, that the up key makes a SCREEN SHOT i mean who the hell invented this [06:30] wariskampar, reload fspot not restart ubuntu [06:30] Daft_Punk: i didnt ever notice issues with alsa until hardy [06:31] Daft_Punk: didnt notice issues with npviewer until hardy eithere [06:31] yowshi, intrepid is out at end of october [06:31] that's new for me:) how do I do that [06:31] speener: oh hmm i wonder if i'm in the same boat [06:31] Daft_Punk: doesnt help me now does it [06:31] yowshi, sorry? [06:31] wariskampar, [06:31] Daft_Punk: spomething is jamming the sound drivers and i cant remember hpw to find out what [06:31] hmm, beta comes out the day after my birthday, awesome [06:32] yowshi, i had that problem with fiesty and i made a fix, dont know if it pertains to your issue === LSD|Ninj2 is now known as LSD|Ninja [06:32] wariskampar, Applications/Graphics/Fspot [06:32] Daft_Punk: just interested in fixing my sound atm. i have a fix for my flash and npvier problems [06:32] !audio | yowshi [06:32] yowshi: 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).

[06:35] hmm well that didn't work.progress [06:35] acrousey: share how? [06:35] ne one use toonboom [06:35] yeah rootkit easiest via kernel module [06:36] HOW can i delete items in /var/cache/apt/archives? [06:36] you check for hardware trojans too [06:36] whenever i try to share files between the machines, I get a "original item cannot be found" message from my mac, and the options to fix alias or delete it [06:36] ahtmly2k: apt-get clean [06:36] apt-get clean I think ahtmly2k [06:36] thank u [06:36] or clean cache something alike [06:36] fr500_: sorry, pushed enter too early [06:36] extor - try chkrootkit [06:36] wariskampar, I just looked and can't find one either to reset the password.. you might google for it... [06:36] acrousey: share with what protocol? [06:37] smb [06:37] ok..will do that [06:37] using sharing with samba-user share? [06:37] brianski, isnt chrootkit just for the most basic and simple rootkits? Just like winders antivirus? [06:37] ñile right click and share? [06:37] extor: if youhave something more complicated, it's highly unlikely that you (or anyone else) will be able to disinfect [06:38] the only way to recover from a hack is a fresh install from known good media [06:38] fr400_: what? [06:38] (i hope you have good backups) [06:38] brianski, but isn't it worth to try and detect a hack or a rootkit, like to at least try? [06:38] acrousey: how did you setup samba?

[06:48] (as is mine which apparentlycan't type space) [06:48] well i have a laptop my keyboard layout should not be 102 but what should it be [06:48] problem persist even after re-installing [06:49] i simply cannot select my keyboard layout :-( [06:49] wariskampar, maybe it's easier to change your password on picasa web? [06:49] Can anyone think of a reason why GRUB would try to boot from sda1 after I told it to look in sdb1? [06:49] wariskampar, back to the one you had before? [06:49] how do i know? cause i have an intrepid box which does show T61 layout ... but how can i add this layout [06:50] it's like beat the purpose [06:50] hi everyone [06:50] wariskampar, but it'll work until you can figure out the fspot side of things.

[06:57] |thunder, I'm guessing crontab lets you use backticks if it lets you use env vars [06:59] crontab uses /bin/sh to parse commands [06:59] so yes, you can use backticks [06:59] wariskampar, this thread mentions deleting something so fspot will ask for the password again.. but it doesn't really say how to delete it. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=303519 [06:59] wth is ~/.gvfs?

[07:02] |thunder: sorry that was a typo before [07:02] you want DATE=`/bin/date` [07:02] note the backticks [07:02] <|thunder> ahh, thanks [07:03] zeno, there's typically a lot of cached thumbnails from your entire system in ~/.thumbnails [07:03] why does gnome terminal interfer with screen? suddenly alt+1 doesn't go to window 1 in screen anymore.. :-/ [07:04] izinucs: just 6MB worth, not 28GB [07:05] zeno, makes you wonder why all those thumbnails are even generated let alone stay there even after the initial file is deleted. [07:05] <[Solaris]> erm how do i see what raid tools are available in ubuntu? [07:05] !raid | [Solaris] [07:05] [Solaris]: raid is Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID wto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [07:06] someone wanna give my problem a shot? -- I've been trying to play with xorg.config to get my synaptic pad working correctly -- works fine as a mouse but it's scroll does not work. [07:06] <[Solaris]> thanks hopefully there are some diagnostic tools in there [07:06] dystopia: i think it uses ctrl+num to switch tabs now === midnightRmbler is now known as physcially_fat === eltech- is now known as eltech [07:08] <[Solaris]> izinucs that doesn't tell me what tools are available in ubuntu those just tells me how to install a raid which i don't want [07:08] For some reason, my installation of Windows XP on my VirtualBox keeps restarting halfway through. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04. Any ideas? [07:09] [Solaris], not sure if anyone is around .. but .. the server people might have more experience with raid.. check out #ubuntu-server === physcially_fat is now known as midnightRmbler [07:09] brianski: not here.. [07:11] hmm odd [07:11] Does anyone know why a Windows XP installation would restart in VirtualBox halfway through installation? [07:12] yeah its fucked [07:12] some kind of fault [07:12] ou need to disable hvm [07:12] winxp restarts during installation even outside virtualbox [07:12] you cannot use hvm during winxp install [07:12] unless you mean besides the normal restart after it copies install files [07:12] Cyranix0r, It happens before the installation is finished. [07:12] dystopia, hvm? [07:13] hmm. no idea then gluonman [07:13] kvm_intel or kvm_amd [07:13] <[Solaris]> well here is a non-server/raid quest how do i search for packages [07:13] I'm not virtualbox master :/ [07:13] Cyranix0r, I would be asking these questions in #vbox if those people would actually talk. [07:13] [Solaris], from the command line? [07:13] dystopia, what's hvm? [07:13] <[Solaris]> for virtualbox help go to #vbox :P [07:13] hardware vm [07:14] <[Solaris]> izinucs from cmd line or gui [07:14] gluonman: yep, know the feeling. Such is the way of the internet :/ [07:14] hy [07:14] <[Solaris]> want to search for raid packages [07:14] <[Solaris]> and tools [07:14] dystopia, what's wrong with installing winxp with virtualbox? I've done it on two other computers (only because my CS class requires the use of Microsoft Visual Studio). [07:15] [Solaris], gui is System/Admin/synaptic package manager .. search for raid.. command line I think is sudo apt-cache -search raid [07:15] gluonman, seriously they do? that's ridiculous [07:15] gluonman: nothing is wrong with it except you need to temp disable HVM [07:15] and im running virtualbox right now with windows xp [07:15] phantomcircuit, what are you referring to? [07:15] dystopia, how do I do that? [07:15] requiring visual studio [07:16] this upgrade to 8.10 is taking forever from 8.04, the repos are so slow :( [07:16] why do you need to disable HVM ? [07:16] phantomcircuit, well, for the purposes of my class it kind of makes sense. [07:16] dystopia, I didn't worry about hvm the last time I did successful winxp installations. [07:17] dystopia, i installed windows xp fine with intel hardware virtualization turned on [07:17] in fact it's running right now [07:17] gluonman, you aren't using the one found in the ubuntu repository are you? [07:17] OSE ? [07:17] [Solaris], terminal is ... sudo apt-cache search raid [07:17] phantomcircuit, I'm using the vbox from the .deb package one can find online. [07:17] hello [07:18] gluonman, 2.0.2 right [07:18] <[Solaris]> thanks for the help [07:18] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM#Create%20VMs%20running%20other%20operating%20systems:%20virt-install [07:18] phantomcircuit, yes. [07:18] <[Solaris]> just gotta figure out which package i need or want to try [07:18] in 2.0.2 its fixed.. [07:18] :P [07:18] What does "subpixel placement" mean as in "No. Antialiasing is an ugly self-defeating kludge, as is subpixel placement."? Does it mean the same as 'Subpixel smoothing' in System > Preference > Appearance > Fonts > Subpixel smooting (LCDs)? [07:19] izinucs, my guess about the password is right [07:19] bullgard4, yes [07:19] and I disagree with that statement :P [07:19] izinucs, i confirm it with f-spot --debug command [07:19] [Solaris], using apt I see "raidutils" as one of the packages... [07:19] dystopia, phantomcircuit, what I don't understand is that this same winxp live CD that worked perfectly in virtualbox on two of my Ubuntu 8.04 machines doesn't completely install on the one in question (also vbox on Ubuntu 8.04). [07:19] amdpox: Thank you for commetning. [07:20] how can i fix floppy disks in linux? [07:20] <[Solaris]> izinucs so i would apt-get install raidutils [07:20] Baber: Be more specific in your question. [07:20] wariskampar, if you find the solution you should post it on the forums [07:20] does anybody know of an app (or terminal command) that can show me the keyboard layout? [07:20] dystopia, phantomcircuit, the installation gets to a certain point (after setting the time zone, etc.) where it says I have 34 minutes left of installation, and virtualbox just resets it and starts again from a prior point. [07:21] bullgard4: why? [07:21] jim_p: less /etc/X11/xorg.conf [07:21] ;-) [07:21] [Solaris], with sudo in front of that line.. sure. Then you could probably "man raidutils" to look at the man page. [07:21] dystopia, the section of that page you linked to is talking about using a python script, not virtualbox [07:21] le_mischa: yea but it wont change when i swith layouts :P [07:21] I have this werid problem with skype [07:21] when iever i start skype [07:22] it brakes me sound setup [07:22] if i restart it works [07:22] start skype, nothing [07:22] Adman65: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:22] bullgard4: my question is how can i recover floppy disks that can't in win? [07:22] there's a Gnome-thing, too ;) [07:22] and you can edit xorg.conf ;) [07:22] dystopia, I don't think that website really pertains to my issues. === SplinTer0616__ is now known as SplinTer0616_ [07:22] phantomcircuit: but its referring to qemu library which virtualbox also uses [07:22] dystopia, in fact the kvm module talked about in that article explicitly is NOT VirtualBox [07:22] dystopia, I need virtualbox, not python. [07:22] izinucs, i'm still looking for the solution === gavin__ is now known as HG [07:23] dystopia, well, how would we apply that in terms of virtualbox? [07:23] still need to reset my password and somebody say about key ring [07:23] le_mischa: that gnome thing is what i want to throw away! and my xorg.conf is properly done for keyboard switching [07:23] jim_p: system => pref => keyboard [07:23] izinucs, do you know how to change the key ring [07:23] ;D [07:23] in Ubuntu hardy Heron [07:23] do so ;) [07:24] <[Solaris]> erm no man entry for raidutils... how to get package discription with apt? [07:24] gluonman, try disabling hardware virtualization [07:24] !suse [07:24] Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [07:24] it's worth a shot [07:24] phantomcircuit, how is that done? [07:24] open the list of virtual machines [07:24] edit the xp one [07:24] phantomcircuit, alright. [07:24] le_mischa: you dont get me! i know how to change layouts, i do so with alt+shift. i just want a display for this. and not that gnome applet thing! [07:24] phantomcircuit, Let me give it a whack. [07:25] <[Solaris]> err sorry I clicked the wrong button [07:25] it's listed as VT-x and AM-x or something like that [07:25] jim_p: there's a panel-add on ;) [07:25] <[Solaris]> how do i get package discription via apt? [07:25] it doesn't actually say hardware virtualization [07:25] ok [07:26] anyone else here have issues with mic input in hardy after an update within the past few weeks? [07:26] Baber: I do not understand you phrase "floppy disks that can't in win". Pleasse use standard English. [07:26] wariskampar, I was just looking for that answer... something about gnome-keyring-manager.. [07:26] hi [07:26] via 82xx chipset here [07:26] Baber: I do not understand your phrase "floppy disks that can't in win". Pleasse use standard English. [07:26] how do i alt-tab from a fullscreen game? [07:26] Is there a way to manage the keyring? [07:26] le_mischa: that panel addon! i want to remove it! i want only tray and main menu on my panel [07:26] hallo [07:26] i suspect he means he cant read from his floppy disc in windows [07:27] phantomcircuit, where in the settings do I find that option? [07:27] id tell you but that box has decided to stop working for me :( [07:27] is there a skb shortcut to minimise screens [07:27] *KB [07:28] KB? [07:28] I can't seem to find the hardware virtualization. [07:28] bullgard4: some floppy disks have badsector and can't read in windows how can repair these floppy disks in linux? [07:28] KeyBoard [07:28] izinucs, i'm looking at Application>Accessories>Password and Encryption [07:28] dystopia, where do I find the hardware virtualization option that I can disable in the virtual machine settings? [07:28] izinucs, but do not find related password [07:28] Alt+F9 [07:29] I'll see what that does. [07:29] thanks [07:29] Oh. That wasn't for me. [07:29] question #2: how can i set different localizations for 2 different users? i want userA to have everything in greek and userB to have everything in german [07:29] is there any other choice than wine to run windows programs [07:29] Baber: I do not know the answer to your question. Please repeat your question in this channel without asking me in particular. [07:29] CaptJager, you could emulate windows with VMWare or Virtualbox [07:30] is someone willing to try and help me with my mouse's scroll ability via xorg.conf ? [07:30] trying to run just one program and hit hangs on install with wine trying to use filemaker [07:30] how can fix floppy disk errors in linux? [07:30] amdpox, CaptJager, VMWare and VirtualBox aren't just emulations of Windows. They actually boot the OS. [07:31] they boot windows....ewww [07:31] Baber: i dont think this is possible. how do you do it, if you do it, in windows? [07:31] gluonman, that's what an emulator does [07:31] just want to run filemaker that is the only software I need from windows [07:31] wine is a replacement API, not an emulator [07:31] CaptJager: what does filemaker do? [07:31] amdpox, well, it's a bit different from emulation as it is actually Windows, where wine isn't actually windows. [07:31] CaptJager: there may be a linux equivalent [07:32] ...I'm quite sure emulation means running the original OS in a virtual machine [07:32] I may be wrong [07:32] amdpox, unless this is a matter of word-play and we have the same idea but with different words. [07:32] I think glum is one but not as good as filemaker [07:32] amdpox: thats what emulation is [07:32] jim_p: this function is only in linux [07:32] Can someone help me with my synaptic touchpad's scroll ability via xorg.conf ? I have the settings as correct as I know them to be....I've tried everything I can think of..still doesn't work. [07:32] CaptJager, check appdb.winehq.org, if they haven't got it working there, odds are you'll have to use an alternative or boot windows inside virtualbox [07:33] does anyone have any knowledge about dualheads in the latest ubuntu? [07:33] checking there [07:33] thanks [07:33] brb [07:33] Baber: if you want to retrieve data from it, use a program like imagerescue [07:33] CaptJager, there's also dual-booting if not virtual machines or wine. [07:33] ciao [07:33] !virtualbox [07:33] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [07:33] !list [07:33] 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 [07:34] right that didnt work!!! [07:34] dystopia, still there? I had a question for you. [07:34] alt f9 does not work on fullscreen [07:34] jim_p: i don't have any data on it i want only repair bad blocks [07:34] dystopia, about disabling HMV. I don't know where to find it. [07:34] how do i change from full screen without quiting [07:34] do virtualbox is batter then wine? [07:35] izinucs, problem solved [07:35] since it seems noone is available -- perhaps a simple question: in /etc/X11/xorg.conf -- a boolean 0 = DISABLE and boolean 1 = ENABLE correct? [07:35] darkbishop, well, virtualbox and wine don't do the same thing. [07:35] wariskampar, I just used "locate" and found /usr/lib/f-spot/gnome-keyring-sharp.dll... if you delete that it might work.. actually I'd just change the name so you can change it back if it produces bad results. [07:35] i dont know [07:35] anyone? [07:35] sorry then Baber :( i dont know [07:35] dystopia, I'll figure it out, then. [07:35] <|thunder> could an AWK wiz please help me convert something like "Fri Sep 26 02:04:05 EDT 2008" into "2008_Sep_26_Fri". deliniated by spaces? please :) [07:35] do virtualbox similier to vmware in windows? [07:35] gluonman: lsmod | grep kvm [07:35] and why does warzone 2100 crash? [07:35] rmmod these [07:36] marli, usually the F11 key is the toggle key for fullscreen mod on most apps [07:36] izinucs, actually I just change the password in Application> Acc>Password... [07:36] marli, mode* [07:36] darkbishop, yes, virtualbox and vmware are both programs that boot virtual machines. [07:36] <|thunder> darkbishop; yes it "is" [07:36] question #2: how can i set different localizations for 2 different users? i want userA to have everything in greek and userB to have everything in german [07:36] ok will try that [07:36] Ok, someone explain this to me. I'm trying to install ubuntu. The cd loads and the installer starts. however, when it gets to the mounting of a cd-rom, it says no cdrom is detected. How can that be ? [07:36] dystopia, let me try that. [07:36] Why would f-spot use a .exe in /usr/lib/f-spot ? the file is f-spot.exe [07:36] izinucs, it was there all this will, only I'm too blind to see :) [07:36] wariskampar, was you're old one listed there? [07:37] dystopia, it didn't give me any output. [07:37] hmm ok [07:37] izinucs, yup! and once changed to new one, problem solved [07:37] jim_p: You can select the language from the login screen. Will that work? I use that to toggle between language on a per-session basis [07:37] THANKS izinucs [07:37] wariskampar, hey.. you figured it out! [07:37] milligan, sometimes you run into this error when you burn a cd with too fast a burn speed setting. You can try burning the disk again but at a slower speed (4X or 6X). [07:37] how do i tell what is in ~/.gvfs? ls -la says nothing [07:37] you guide me through... [07:38] but occupies 28GB [07:38] THANKS again!! [07:38] ushimitsudoki: and they have to select on each login?!?! too much for them! they even consider hard to use usenames and passes [07:38] wariskampar, np.. I learned something too.. pass it along. [07:39] Can someone help me with my synaptic touchpad's scroll ability via xorg.conf ? I have the settings as correct as I know them to be. [07:39] zeno, I believe it's to do with a mounted ntfs-\fuse partition [07:40] kevin_, alright. I'll give it a shot. [07:40] Okay, so I just got back from my deployment. I left, i had dapper drake. Now that i've upgraded to 8.04 my dualscreens arent working quite right. Seems although I have separate X running on the other screen I am unable to drag applications between screens and still have them run independently...any suggetsions? [07:40] actually, mine is the same size as my root ext3 partition [07:40] zeno, basically, it's not real space being taken out of your drive: it's a mountpoint [07:40] milligan, great -- here are my current settings -- which SHOULD work to get my touchpad's scroll funtion to work correctly, but it does'nt. http://rafb.net/p/Z7xHXl40.html [07:41] jim_p: hmm, I don't know if the language selection is saved on a per-user basis, I haven't looked at that because I don't have multiple users. I know you can select the language as "this session only" or "make default", and the login screen will come up in the appropriate language -- which obviously appears before the user logs in. You might have to google or experiment there [07:42] amdpox: thanks [07:43] ushimitsudoki: what i really want, is the one user's menus, icons, dialogs and stuff to be in german, while the other's to be in greek. Just the enviroment i mean. Anyway, i found something at a wiki so far. thanks [07:43] RedWolfLH: Are you using compiz with your dual screens? [07:43] jim_p: where please? [07:43] viverant, no sir I don't believe so. [07:44] I dont like all the fancy screen turning crap lol [07:44] blue-frog: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/guide-localization.xml [07:44] ty [07:44] RedWolfLH: you can not drag windows between separate X screens [07:44] blue-frog: chapter 3 [07:44] RedWolfLH: You must use Twinview (nvidia) or Xinerama (with prohibits composting) [07:44] ah maybe I need to re-neable Twinview? [07:45] RedWolfLH: I don't know the ATI side if there is an equivalent to Twinview if you are on ATI [07:45] hello [07:45] nah I'm using nvidia [07:45] * delcoyote hi [07:45] RedWolfLH: Yes, then you want TwinView for dualmonitor action! :) [07:45] im usin' knoppix at school^^ [07:45] RedWolfLH: Okay sorry I had that but it was because I had problems with twinview and compiz and had to tweak some stuff to be able to use both ides of the side of the cube... I like the fancy stuff :) [07:45] is there someone? [07:46] I will reboot x and let you know how things work for me :) [07:46] brb [07:46] germans?!huhu? [07:46] PrinZ: This channel is for ubuntu support. Maybe you want #knoppix? [07:47] milligan, any luck? [07:47] oh no^^, im in school [07:47] i thought it was just a chat [07:47] im sorry^^ [07:47] hey there ,I want to compile a module,but it says "linux/init.h not found"?why? [07:48] kevin_, need to fry the cd first [07:48] what is the ubuntu-desktop package? and what will happen if I remove it? [07:48] running it at 16x with verification now [07:48] utnubudnai: do you have linux-headers instaled? [07:48] hi [07:48] milligan, sure [07:48] So with compiz there is some way to make a window scale smaller... But I forget what plugin it is. Anyone here know? Thanks [07:48] Can someone help me with my synaptic touchpad's scroll ability via xorg.conf ? I have the settings as correct as I know them to be. [07:48] how to increase secuiryt of my desktop system? [07:49] rmmm: do you have low security? [07:49] rmmm, unplug all network cables and lock in lead box on bottom of ocean [07:49] okay.. we have a problem now lol [07:49] Gokee2: Scale? [07:49] jerome187: the ubuntu-desktop is a package-shortcut that tells apt: "install gnome, gnome games, totem, etc". you can safely remove it [07:49] i plugged in a USB drive and it's not being recognized. is there anything i can or should do? it's a U3 drive if that changes anything, but it's worked before [07:49] why when I open firefox I dont see the blue bar on the top with that minimize, maximize, close button??? there was this bar, but know when i start FF thers no more :( [07:49] amdpox: have to use internet [07:49] jim_p, hey,I have compiled my kernel,so ...I think I have installed it [07:49] hehe [07:50] Twinview turned it into 1 giant screen..which I didnt really like. So I changed ti back to separate sessions now I cannot move my mouse between desktops [07:50] HeMan: yes, its a default ubuntu desktop [07:50] !linux.h [07:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about linux.h [07:50] reinis_ are you using emerald? [07:50] rmmm, well, a firewall would probably help [07:50] rmmm: the ubuntu desktop is usually pretty secure [07:50] !firewall [07:50] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [07:50] ushimitsudoki, Nope I found it though I was thinking of shelf. Thanks! [07:50] jim_p, actually i don't quite understand what a kernel-header does?thanks [07:50] RedWolfLH: Was there a specific issue with 1 giant screen that didn't work for you? [07:50] Use iptables, massive headache they can be, but well worth it if porn be your fave [07:51] rmmm: what threat do you see? [07:51] amdpox: for example, to prevent a bug in firefox from allowing aritrary code and i.e. reading my documents [07:51] and how to check if i have installed kernel-headers? [07:51] HeMan: ^ [07:51] utnubudnai: it provides libraries needed to make other modules and stuff that is directly related to the kernel, like alsa [07:51] well I like to be able to run wow on 1 desktop and chat and browse the net on the other [07:51] rmmm, don't use firefox [07:51] nwo i cannot even access the other desktop [07:51] there's not many vulnerabilities like that, and they get fixed very fast [07:51] amdpox: well, or any other regular browser [07:51] How can I open stuffit-packed packets? [07:52] I was thinking about apparmor === desti_T2 is now known as desti [07:52] rmmm, encrypt your documents? [07:52] Finnish: what extention do they have? [07:52] jim_p, I compiled the kernel in ubuntu and made to deb files,one of them is linux-image,and the other one is linux-header!I installed them both [07:52] also, it apperas that everything is being duplicated on the screen on the bottom where you can select desktop. Even though it only shows up on 1 screen I can see the window summary on the other one [07:52] amdpox: yes, I use LUKS partition [07:52] RedWolfLH: Ah, I see. Unless you window WoW, you're right TwinView isn't going to work. As for not being able to access the second desktop - that's because you probably have it cloned [07:52] Gokee2: Do you mean make the window smaller when using the scale plugin itself or? [07:52] how do I turn the clone shit off, lol [07:53] anyone uses apparmored? [07:53] apparmor [07:53] jim_p: .sit [07:53] shoot already answered nevermind :) [07:53] RedWolfLH: Just use nvidia-settings to set up the second one as a separate X screen. I forget the xorg.conf way to do it :) [07:53] Finnish: i think .sit files are related to some mac compression [07:53] i did they're both "separate xscreen" [07:54] Ubuntu folder shows it's Stuffit [07:54] i'll reboot X again [07:54] sit - Stuffit , yes. Proprietary [07:54] Can someone help me with my synaptic touchpad's scroll ability via xorg.conf ? I have the settings as correct as I know them to be.

[07:56] i wish i could open .lit files on ubuntu :( [07:56] So how do I unpack it? [07:56] seem to get the same error on both so im thinking it may be something else [07:56] Durendal, otherwise, if it's an older computer with slower hardware, you may want to burn a copy of the alternate text-based version so the installation itself uses less resources. [07:56] see if that works. [07:56] hmmm kk ill give it a shot [07:56] thanks a lot :) [07:56] amdpox, me too, only CPU usage the most critical [07:56] no prob [07:56] amdpox, do you have any idea [07:57] leakage etc [07:57] wariskampar, nope, it never uses CPU here when it's not onscreen [07:57] Finnish, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromMacOSX [07:57] amdpox, it happened to me since a few days ago [07:57] wariskampar, any change in desktop environment/window manager? [07:58] are there multiple instances of gnome-do running? [07:58] Can someone help me with my synaptic touchpad's scroll ability via xorg.conf ? I have the settings as correct as I know them to be. [07:58] kevin_:didnt u ask this before.. seems like no one know [07:59] amdpox, nope (as far as I remember)..use Ubuntu HH+compiz+Gnome 2.24 [07:59] darkbishop, yea -- i keep posting in hopes someone will catch it [07:59] well.. a reboot of X fixed that.. I dont have them set to clone, but I'm still unable to launch programs in each independent X screen. If I open it on my left screen it opens up the program on my right screen. Seems like the only screen capable of running stuff is my primary screen and the toher just servers as extra desktop space.. They still seem cloned :( [07:59] amdpox, sorry...Gnome 2.22 [07:59] wariskampar, no idea then [08:01] RedWolfLH: You just have to twiddle with it...make sure that in nvidia-settings you have "X Screen 0" and "X Screen 1" . I'm sorry I don't remember the details, this happens to me every once and again when messing about with the drivers and fiddling about in there solves it. I just don't recall the exact procedure, sorry === eltech- is now known as eltech [08:01] exit [08:01] kevin_, no luck :-\ [08:02] ushimitsudoki, yes they are X Screen 0 and X Screen 1 [08:02] RedWolfLH: Well, if you want to pastebin your xorg.conf i can compare it to mine [08:02] okay ushi [08:03] milligan, does your disk drive read *any* disk? [08:03] amdpox, nv but if you're curious, i'm looking at this bug report [08:03] amdpox, [08:03] https://answers.launchpad.net/do/+question/32494 [08:03] kevin_, well, the disk boots.. so it reads till the linux kernel takes over. [08:03] sorry..not bug report [08:03] how do i configure grub to chainload the windows bootloader? [08:04] milligan, do you reach an error other than "no disk found" -- and did you try researching this on google/ubuntu forums? [08:04] ushimitsudoki, http://pastebin.ca/1211282 [08:04] i just did an apt-get update and some firefox components got upgraded, including xulrunner. Now my thunderbird isn't working properly; i can't write new e-mails anymore. Does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it? [08:04] ASrock: There's actually an example in the menu.lst [08:04] kevin_, it doesn't say no disk found .. it says no cd-rom is found! [08:06] has anyone heard of firefox causing a system to lockup ? [08:06] milligan, the only advice i can give to you is keep researching and/or ask again in here. My guess is that the linux kernal does not have access to the appropriate drivers needed for reading from the CD-ROM. [08:07] RedWolfLH: You have 2 cards, one on each monitor? [08:07] no 1 card [08:07] RedWolfLH: Your xorg.conf defines two cards [08:08] milligan, god luck and sorry I can't be of more help to you. [08:08] milligan, good* [08:08] uhmn i think that was the only way to get dual screens back in dapper [08:08] It's a dual head card tho [08:08] does linux have some limit as to the size of flash drives it recognizes? a 4gb one works no problem, but 8 gb of the same exact type doesn't. === tsw_ is now known as tsw [08:09] RedWolfLH: When you complete the nvidia settings are you "merging" the changes or saving a brand new file? (It looks like you are "merging" them [08:09] Saving [08:09] fallore: I believe that 32 bit Linux has this limit but 64 bit Linux not. [08:10] that's only for RAM [08:10] jim_p: edit ~/.dmrc and fill in Language=fr_FR.UTF-8 adapt to your language [08:10] bullgard4: i'm on 32 :[ [08:10] Anyone know a user by the name of SecurityTester? [08:11] fallore: There's no limit, assuming its FAT32. [08:11] well, FAT32 has a limit of 2TB, which we haven't quite reached in flash drives just yet [08:11] Flannel: i don't know if it is. it's a u3 drive, which means it has this software that allows you to install programs on it that you can run off the drive on any windows computer. [08:12] blue-frog: ~/.dmrc? [08:12] ushimitsudoki, do you think you can provide me with an updated Xorg.conf without the risk of me not being able to use my gui lol [08:12] jim_p: yes in your user's folder [08:12] blue-frog: .dmrc has only 2 lines there [08:12] jim_p: yes. add a third line [08:12] blue-frog: i was thinking about .bashrc [08:13] nopee [08:13] RedWolfLH: I have 2 cards / 3 monitors and 3 diff xorg.conf (Middle monitor only, Xinerama, Twinview + Separate X Screen) - I don't think you want any of those directly :) [08:13] jim_p: well maybe you could, but the .dmrc way is straight forward [08:13] i just did an apt-get update and some firefox components got upgraded, including xulrunner. Now my thunderbird isn't working properly; i can't write new e-mails anymore. Does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it? [08:14] blue-frog: thanks [08:15] dwa_: do you have hardy-proposed enabled? [08:15] :\ so what can I change so I can run programs on my 2nd screen? [08:16] Flannel: no i haven't [08:17] I'mma afk and smoke a cigarette >.< [08:17] RedWolfLH: Hold on I will set mine up dual monitor only on one card. Please be patient [08:17] Hello [08:18] dwa_: Have you checked to see if theres a bug about it? [08:18] Anyone free? My Firefox seems to have crashed and will not work again,, [08:20] Kai: uninstall it (sudo apt-get remove firefox --purge) and delete the ~/.mozilla folder . you will lose any settings and bookmarks though [08:20] purging 'firefox' won't do anything, it's just a metapackage. [08:20] Also, don't delete, just rename. [08:20] jim_p: I will try, I am not worried about lost settings or bookmarks, however. It just will not open at all [08:21] Furthermore, It seems my CD drive thinger won't mount:?

[08:55] negge: no! should grub care if lilo is installed. [08:55] LimCore: Ubuntu chose to use AppArmor instead of SELinux. It was a design choice. You can still use SELinux though.

[10:20] always has [10:20] thought so, theres just nothing in the audio menu, so i was lost [10:21] Who has experience with bridging [10:22] My question, why does the bridge i created take the same ip from dchp as the network interface it is bridged off [10:22] If you need my conf let me know [10:23] i've never used bridging, but i'd say at a guess its getting the same lease because its sending the same MAC address [10:26] after 3 days and 5 differnent versions I now have filemaker pro working with wine [10:27] I am facing audio problems in.04 ubuntu 8 [10:27] I tried with soft phones like twinkle, zoiper, counterpath etc. but none of them are working [10:28] now anyone know how to remove an item in wine so it is not in the startup menu I tried uninstalling but doesnt work [10:28] CaptJager: did you use Wines own uninstall utility? [10:28] anyone know which soft phone shud i use for ubuntu 8.04? [10:28] nope [10:28] krishna_: any that are in the ubuntu repos [10:28] where is that [10:28] CaptJager: that's the way you're supposed to uninstall Wine programs [10:28] CaptJager: it's directly under the Wine menu [10:28] CaptJager: you just removed it by deleting it off the disk ? [10:29] yes I did try that [10:29] CaptJager: it's in the wine menu - probably next to the icon you want to remove [10:29] hey having a small issue installing virtualbox. was wondering if anyone could give me a pointer or a direction as to where I can go [10:29] !virtualbox [10:29] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [10:29] right.. [10:29] however, the OSE doesn't support USB? [10:30] afallenhope: I don't beleive it can do hardware interaction [10:30] afallenhope: but I'm not %100 [10:30] ikonia, the non free edition can.. [10:30] afallenhope: then use that [10:30] any 1 know how to set default OS ? [10:30] prabu: in what sense ? [10:30] afallenhope, virtualbox-ose, the version we are allowed to distribute, has that feature removed [10:30] PUEL (Personal Use & Evaluation License) Version [10:30] prabu: you mean in the bootloader? [10:31] yes [10:31] afallenhope: if you want USB support you should install VMware server instead [10:31] prabu: you have to edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file [10:31] negge, yeah.. but VMware has issues with the keyboard and whatnot [10:31] afallenhope: I never had any issue [10:31] I tried that but errors out says the wizard was interupted before filemaker pro 8 could be completely installed but I am trying to remove it [10:31] how to edit tat ? im new to ubuntu [10:31] prabu: you edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, there is a line in there that says "default" then a number, the number relates to the position on your boot menu, eg: default 0 would be the first os in the list [10:32] hey guys, i'm having trouble using my webcam. The camera is installed and works fine, and appears in the kopete config window, but when i try to "send webcam" to someone nothing happens [10:32] negge, yeah.. apparently if you don't switch out using the "CTRL + ALT" you jack up the keymap [10:32] this is the error I get: http://pastebin.com/m4f676921 [10:32] afallenhope: that's weird. I must say I haven't used the server version on Ubuntu, but Workstation 6 has worked just fine [10:33] negge, yeah for Windows because I don't think there's workstation on Linux [10:33] afallenhope: thats a kernel driver conflict [10:33] afallenhope: yes there is, I just told you I've tried it [10:33] hi folks [10:33] ikonia, hmm how would I fix it? [10:33] I have RAM 256 and I want to download a Linux distribution? [10:33] brb . will try tat [10:33] i can't find mdb2 anywhere in the repos or in the synaptic packetmanager. how to install it best? [10:33] afallenhope well, my first question is why are you installing a package out of a deb on your desktop ? [10:34] ikonia, because I need USB support [10:34] do i hav to run tat in terminal ? [10:34] afallenhope: ok - so your using the propriatary version, which has paid support as I recall [10:34] prog077: if you want something with the Ubuntu flavor you should probably go for Xubuntu [10:34] vlc media player is downloading very slowly from the package manager. i'd like to see if i can get it online faster, but i don't know what would be easiest for me to install once i've downloaded it. what should i look for? [10:34] ikonia, could be. however, figured someone could help [10:35] afallenhope: best to use the official support as it looks like it conflicts with the versions in the ubuntu repo, [10:35] prabu: open up a terminal and write "gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst", then enter your password and it will open in a notepad-like program. Then you just make the changes and save the file [10:35] afallenhope: make sure the version from the repo is removed before using the official one [10:35] ikonia, did that. [10:35] ok , brb [10:36] afallenhope: an associated packages such as the kernel module package [10:36] ؟؟؟؟؟ [10:36] afallenhope: eg: virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-19-generic [10:36] oh [10:37] afallenhope: if you read the error you'll see it wants to overwrite the module that is provided by virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-19-generic so removing that package should fix it [10:37] !vm [10:37] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [10:37] vmware is pretty much the worse I've tried [10:37] when you do ifconfig what are you seeing, ie wheres the details stored that come out of ifconfig, is it ONLY /network/interfaces? [10:38] dpkg - warning: while removing virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-19-generic, directory `/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/misc' not empty so not removed. [10:38] AdvoWork the config for that is in /etc/network/interfaces [10:38] hi, guys. [10:38] afallenhope so empty it or use the force options [10:39] Hi, when I move around using the cursor keys in vi the letters abcd, i.e pressing down changes to the letter B - any ideas why this is ;) ? === samba is now known as Guest45680 [10:39] zebraf the keys to move aruond in vi are ghjkl [10:39] may sound a silly question, but can you basically restore an ubuntu pc back to factory default? ie everything, mainly everything todo with network connections and so on? [10:39] lol I'm retarded.. that has my vmware stuff in it [10:39] the search on help.ubuntu.com can't find anything. is there a package for mdb2 or is mdb2 included in another package? [10:39] i'm having a problem with my external hard drive...if i run lsusb i get a result -> Bus 004 Device 003 : ID 04b4:6830 Cypress Semiconductor Corp. USB-2.0 IDE adapter... but if i run fdisk -l it doesn't show. what could be the problem here? your help is much appreciated. [10:40] AdvoWork not really no [10:40] how do i pause or stop a download that i'm apt-getting through terminal? [10:40] ctrl-C [10:40] fallore: don't think you can, other than control z it [10:40] gharz: no ! [10:40] gharz: that won't pause it [10:40] ok [10:40] ikonia, it doesn't pause. it just stop it. :_ [10:40] nit ot [10:40] but it'll be okay* ? [10:40] gharz that terminates the application [10:40] u must first mount the usb hard druve [10:40]  i'm having a problem with my external hard drive...if i run lsusb i get a result -> Bus 004 Device 003 : ID 04b4:6830 Cypress Semiconductor Corp. USB-2.0 IDE adapter... but if i run fdisk -l it doesn't show. what could be the problem here? your help is much appreciated. [10:41] it's downloading at 5kb/s, something must be wrong [10:41] ðóññêèå åñòü? [10:41] gharz: u must first mount [10:41] fallore: mirror probably running slow ? [10:41] kyhros: i'm just can't figure out what /dev/??? is my external hard drive. [10:41] ikonia yep the arrows used to work though, same SSH client etc too - [10:41] kyhros: he doesn't need to mount it to use fdisk [10:41] kyhros: it doesn't automount [10:41] dmesg |tail [10:41] zebraf: term caps changed [10:42] ikonia, fdisk -l doesn't detect or show the my ext hard drive /dev/??? if i would have known then it would be easy to mount it. [10:42] kyhros: hold on... i'll dmesg tail it [10:42] !virtualbox [10:42] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [10:43] ikonia, fixed it ;) [10:43] is there some guide for making ubuntu desktop secure? [10:43] true true [10:43] ikonia: the 1st line sayd [ ###.####] end_request: I/O error, dev sdc, sector 0 [10:43] LimCore there are some threads on the forum that offer high level basics [10:44] gharz: is there a partition table on it ? [10:44] is there a way to use animated *.icns flies with ubuntu? [10:44] gharz: fidsk -l /dev/sdc ? [10:44] ikonia: 2nd line [ ###.#####] sd 3:0:0:1: [sdc] Result: hostbyte-DID_ERROR [10:44] files [10:44] ikonia: hold on. [10:44] ikonia: no result when i run fdisk -l /dev/sdc [10:45] gharz: something wrong with the drive, I don't know that the hostbyte-DID_ERROR is [10:45] so that means the hard drive is useless... :(( [10:45] what is current state of apparmor in ubuntu? Does it try to, uhm, secure, itnernet-facing applications like kmail, irc clients, etc? Or only given deamons etc? [10:46] some wikipage I found says it doesnt yet secure (provide profiles) for non internet facing client applications? [10:46] s/for non/for/ [10:46] LimCore I would agree with that, although, I'm not %100 [10:46] LimCore: iirc, apparmor has also been disbanded [10:46] * LimCore facepalms, and tries selinux [10:46] Ziroday: thats interesting [10:47] ikonia: yeah, I believe novell let it go. Anyway its offtopic :) [10:47] LimCore: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [10:47] ikonia: well I obviously read that, its like first hit on google [10:48] LimCore: I didn't know if you'd read it or not [10:49] how to edit boot menu ? [10:49] with an editor :) === edo32mb|zzz is now known as edo32mb [10:49] prabu: use a text editor, try gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [10:49] will try tat . brb [10:50] how to use pax/NX and randomization security things on ubuntu? I see chpax and pax-utils, so I presume the kernel is set to work with that? [10:50] LimCore: a fellow user followed this link https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/apparmor.html [10:50] LimCore: may provide additional use/examples [10:50] LimCore: for pax you may have to mod probe the module in, don't think it's loaded by default [10:51] does anybody know why my elisa is flickering when i use compiz? [10:51] you know whats really a shame [10:51] X11 gets higher resolution at higher color depth on this machine than windows does :( [10:51] ikonia: ok; and are programs ready to work with it? Programs should be builded with -fPIC for that... hmm but afair this is anyway tlaways the case on amd64? [10:51] Cyranix0r: :( ---> :) [10:52] oh yeah, I'm not complaining :P~ [10:52] LimCore: I'd certainly expect it on amd64 as you said, not sure about 32bit stuff, maybe pick a few random deb files and have a look at the spec file [10:52] has the latest firefox update broken it? when i type an address in the url bar i get an incomprehensible error message, and the page doesn't load [10:52] Its just kindof a shame [10:52] its not working ikonia [10:52] levene: I got it too [10:52] prabu whats the problem [10:52] levene: 8.04? [10:52] ASSERT: *** Search: _installLocation: engine has no file! [10:52] Ziroday: LimCore yes [10:52] levene: I entered something to search bar, and then firefox showd tiny 10x10 pixel window (??) and hanged. After restart it works [10:53] LimCore: hm, i just did restart it [10:53] levene: I guess: just restart firefoxes after upgrade [10:53] LimCore: i'll try again [10:53] i run tat in terminal it asked my passwork . i did . then nothin happens [10:53] ikonia: perhaps its a bug, that installer of firefox upgrade should force it to restart [10:53] password [10:53] or ask is it ok to do so [10:53] LimCore: right, working now. phew! [10:53] levene: join #ubuntu-bugs [10:54] LimCore: i had to killall firefox, it wasn't closed although all the windows were closed [10:54] LimCore: sorry, back to work now :) [10:54] argggggggh [10:54] why always dpkg by default cuts packages names [10:54] dpkg -l [10:54] LimCore: you can fix that i think [10:54] levene: LimCore: did your error look like this? http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17973720/firefox_start.png [10:54] prabu try this, open a password and do "sudo vi /boot/grub/menu.lst" [10:54] yaeh, COLS=200 [10:55] where to type tat ? im new to ubuntu ikonia [10:55] Ziroday: no, I got 10x10 pixels window, with just part of title visible "F..." - firefox? and I restarted then [10:55] Ziroday: more or less. mine started the same, but looked denser i think [10:55] prabu: there did you type gksudo gedit /boor/grub/menu.lst [10:55] "where" [10:55] levene: LimCore: thanks [10:56] ok . will try [10:56] anyway, thanks all. ttfn [10:56] prabu: where did you type "gksudo /boot/grub/menu.lst" [10:57] it says command not found :( [10:57] bye room [10:57] prabu where are you typing it [10:58] in terminal [10:58] Ziroday: add your description to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/274725 [10:58] Launchpad bug 274725 in firefox "force restart after upgrade to 3.0.3+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04" [Undecided,New] [10:58] prabu showme the command your tying, exaclty [10:59] LimCore: its not my bug report :), just something I saw that seemed similar [10:59] gksudo /boot/grub/menu.lst [11:00] !ebox | r2r [11:00] r2r, please see my private message [11:00] prabu: thats not what I todl you to type [11:01] Hi, guarddog is not displaying the tick boxes next to each of the programs, so I can't specify what to allow / disallow. I suspect it's a permissions issue (i.e. chmod or chown problem). Any clues on what file / directory I should tweak? [11:01] sudo vi /boot/grub/menu.lst" is what I told you type [11:01] got it :) thanks ikonia [11:01] thanks very much [11:02] no problem [11:04] ikonia: hello do you mind if i borrow some your time? [11:04] r2r what's up ? [11:04] what application will try to haxor my box or crash it? apart from the crashme test [11:04] how does one tell which version of openobex i have [11:05] LimCore: look at stress test that has utils on it [11:05] airtonix how did you install it [11:05] ok but this is aimed at stressing by load, not by trying actuall exploits... I was thinking like, some milw0rm or something compilation + scripted test [11:05] ikonia, via apt-get [11:05] ikonia: i have this problem that when ubuntu is deployed for staff (in on office) many people are not happy with the DE can i make my spin with new settings ? [11:06] LimCore stresstest cd has a ton of great tools [11:06] airtonix dpk -l | grep openobex [11:06] stresstest cd..? I ment an application to test my ubuntu system, are we talking about same thing? Not some live cd with test tools to test my hardware [11:06] limCore: would you mind if you pm me your message please [11:06] r2r you mean the compiz cube ? [11:07] LimCore I'm saying look at the stress test live cd - it has tools on it, that you can then install on your ubuntu box, as the tools are very good [11:07] ikonia: no shortcuts menu bar locations little tweaks [11:07] ok [11:07] !theme > r2r [11:07] r2r, please see my private message [11:07] ikonia, ok result is : 1.3-3ubuntu1 ... is this the version of the package or the lib itself? [11:07] r2r: you can apply themese and styles [11:07] Okay, what's up with Evolution's failure to work with spam for me, running 8.04? SpamAssassin IS installed. Is there some magical trick? [11:07] airtonix thats the package but it normally links in witht he version [11:08] ikonia, cheers [11:08] Q_Continuum: have you set evolution to use spamassisn [11:08] Yeah. [11:08] ikonia: its almost impossible to do that (iam sorry but please ask before pm thankyou very much) [11:08] And I have the package installed. Yet it still won't work. [11:08] r2r I've not pm'd you ? [11:09] ikonia: mm.. ok you told ubottu to iam i right? [11:09] r2r yes, ubottu sent you a link [11:09] r2r, the bot here did it's a quick way to divuldge information [11:09] r2r: why is it impossible to use the themes [11:09] Crap, I don't have that migrated over to my new HD. [11:09] 2 [11:09] every 10 minutes my screen goes black and i have to move the mouse to wake it back up. i changed the screensaver idle time or whatever to 1 hour from 10 minutes but still the same. how do i make it stay on while i watch a video? [11:09] Thinking about just going back to Thunderbird, as I no longer need PIM support (being that ATT is being retarded with Palms and I stopped using one) [11:10] ikonia: i really cant manually change themes for evrybody there atlest 50 systems [11:10] !ubottu NO PM [11:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubottu no pm [11:10] i need help with some bridging/networking please see http://pastebin.com/d3608f146 [11:10] r2r, why not let them change their own themes? [11:10] r2r then look at enterprise managment tools, like varients, nfs mounted home dir's, etc etc [11:11] does anyone know a way to show someone their webcam besides using Kopete? [11:11] dr_willis: they are pure windows users they dont even know how to run openofice [11:11] AlexW read the kvm documentation it explains bridging [11:11] r2r, there is a tool in the repos to allow you to make simultaneous changes across multiple systems [11:11] anyone know how to make emerald on by default when the system boots? [11:11] * dr_willis is big on 'educating users' not 'dumbing down systems' [11:12] how do i put directx on my ubuntu [11:12] OdnsRvns directX is a windows technology not available for uubnut [11:12] r2r, dont know how to use openoffice? thats a rather long stretch... give them more credit than that or just sya they don't want to learn [11:12] ubuntu [11:12] OdnsRvns, why do you want to? or think you need to? wine normally does not need DIrectX [11:12] airtonix: i'd love that any name or reference [11:12] mecha: Go into sessions in the menu, and make a new command, "emerald --replace" without quotes. [11:12] OdnsRvns, games right? [11:12] r2r, one sec [11:12] yea i am in wine and trying to install COD4 and it ask for DX [11:13] i know there is a patch i just dont know where i read it at [11:13] r2r: NFS mounted home drives and read only gnome profiles would manage your setup very well [11:13] ikonia: That is not what i want [11:13] OdnsRvns: join #winehq for specific wine info [11:13] AlexW: what do you want then [11:13] Hi there, i have a secondary harddrive connected to my motherboard, ntfs(win HD), how do i format it with ubuntu via the bash shell? [11:13] AlexW: looking at that diagram thats exactly what you want [11:13] OdnsRvns, COD4 try cedja or something like that [11:13] no under wine right now [11:13] r2r, i think it is called clusterssh [11:13] J-_: thank you so much. i hated doind the --replace every time i boot [11:13] i have cedega [11:13] ikonia: Do you mean https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [11:14] AlexW: no [11:14] AlexW: I mean the kvm docs [11:14] r2r: clusterssh : administer multiple ssh or rsh shells simultaneously [11:14] AlexW: http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki [11:14] but im not using cedga they havent gotr my login for it yet [11:14] J-_: can i do the same with quicksynergy to connect to a synergy server? [11:14] OdnsRvns, under wine hm.. this is a wild idea try installing directx under WINE (it is illegal) but if you have a windows system add directx dlls to it [11:14] OdnsRvns #winehq will help you with your specific questions [11:14] mecha: Not sure, sorry. :) [11:15] !clusterssh | r2r [11:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about clusterssh [11:15] anyone here use quicksynergy? [11:15] r2r, you could always (as ikona suggested) mount a central folder on a server that is symlinked to each users ~/.themes , ~/.icons , ~/.fonts [11:15] anyone know how to format a second harddrive via the bash shell? [11:15] Hydromethod what file system to you want [11:15] either ither [11:15] Hydromethod, ther eis a guid on the ubuntu help website that details this process [11:15] Hydromethod: I suggest you use gparted as a visual tool [11:15] no einr changes system paths as well to like instead of c:/programs its .c:/programs [11:16] Hydromethod: either ??? there are many [11:16] no id like to do this via bash [11:16] airtonix: iam really greatful to you clusterssh does the job [11:16] OdnsRvns: #winehq is the correct support place [11:16] ikonia: Is this hwat i wantg http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki/Networking [11:16] its my home file server, i use ssh to access it [11:16] ikonia no one is talking to you [11:16] chill bro [11:16] Hydromethod, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive [11:16] OdnsRvns this is not an ubuntu issue [11:16] but i have two HD's (one running ubuntu) and the second one has windows installed - which i want to format [11:16] OdnsRvns: so #winehq is the correct place for support [11:16] Hydromethod do you know the device file for your second disk ? [11:17] its /dev/hdb1 [11:17] OdnsRvns, mind your language if you will you have been given an advie not a command [11:17] its an install question on hardy how is that not ubuntu [11:17] AlexW: thats a good doc [11:17] OdnsRvns: no it's not, its a wine install question and a wine application issue [11:17] r2r, if you want to control the themes then i would look at centralising those folders via nfs ...somehow [11:17] hello there how can i see a workgroup from a windows network ??? [11:17] Hydromethod: ok - so for example, if you wanted to do ext3 you would do "sudo mke2fs -j /dev/hdb1" [11:17] OdnsRvns, please stop pm me if you can [11:18] ikonia: "You are ready to take a huge performance hit." , would you agree with this? [11:18] ah ok, thanks ikonia [11:18] ??? [11:18] OdnsRvns, sorry let me refrase it :please stop ,pm me if you can [11:18] AlexW Hmmmm, yes and no, let me think of a way to respond to that properly [11:18] lol [11:18] Hydromethod, i recommend you look at that page i linked, it has more info you need [11:18] sorry i missed the link airtonix, ill scroll [11:18] ikonia, got it workin ^_^ just had to reboot lmao. added somethign to my fstab though :-s [11:19] whats the command to kill a window [11:19] Hydromethod, the help.ubuntu.com/community website should not be underestimated [11:19] airtonix: hmm... maybe but i dont think a core2duo 2gb ram server would handle it [11:19] AlexW: ok - well perfomance will drop as your sharing hardware, but by how much will depend on a.) how good your hardware is b.) how much your using it, for a home user I wouldn't expect to see a "masssive" hit [11:19] r2r, i beg to differ [11:20] !.rar [11:20] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft.

[11:46] tranmission's bandwidth limiter has issues though, it isn't effective for sharing a connection with latency sensitive apps [11:46] I did forward the port and I get great speeds [11:46] CaptJager, but i also notice the ubuntu transmission supports dht [11:47] Hello, my ubuntu system tends to become unstable after a while it's on and need to reboot like in windows- is this normal?

I'm new to linux but this doesn't seem like a dependency error? [12:37] zimbres: how do you change to xdm?

[12:38] Enselic: nope it doesn't work that way [12:38] <_demo> mecha, what? [12:38] fl0w: you have to install build-essential [12:38] <_demo> mecha how do i do that? [12:38] The-Compiler: thank you! [12:38] murlidhar: have you even managed to play an mp3 with cplay on the system your currently is sitting at? [12:38] Enselic, when i installed it with apt-get, there was an option to make xdm the default manager. [12:38] KenSentMe: keep the file data of what file? [12:39] Enselic, of the file i am downloading through ftp [12:39] Enselic: that is the only player i use for playing my audio files [12:39] _demo: there are little things on the end of your hard drive called jumpers. they make the hdd master or slave or cable select. a jumper switch connects to 2 hdd and lets u use a switch to switch between the two hdd before you boot. [12:39] Enselic: yes i did . it works [12:39] google it i guess [12:39] fl0w: no worries ;) [12:40] murlidhar: how do you play it with cplay? [12:40] <_demo> mecha why does it matter which hdd is master and which is slave? [12:40] _demo: google "hard drive jumper switch" [12:40] Enselic, so the date of the file on the server and my computer should be the same [12:40] _demo: so BIOS know which to boot from [12:40] KenSentMe: have you read the manual for your FTP client? [12:40] The-Compiler: tried a "sudo apt-cache search c compiler" but that gave me a bit more results than I was hoping for :) [12:40] <_demo> mecha, bios boots from the ubuntu one [12:41] Enselic: i type cplay in the terminal and the player fires up . there is an inbuilt file manager from which i can load the songs to play [12:41] _demo: then why do you still have the windows one plugged in? and what are the jumpers set to? [12:41] murlidhar: you must figure out how to start playing files from when you start cplay [12:41] murlidhar: cplay --help [12:41] murlidhar: and/or man cplay Either of these should tell you that [12:42] <_demo> mecha, why shouldnt the windows one be plugged in? [12:42] Enselic: Usage: /usr/bin/cplay [-nrRv] [ file | dir | playlist ] ...

[13:40] hi all; i have a quick question - i run ibex alpha, and I want to go back to gutsy (very unhappy with both hardy and intrepid).

[13:45] Hello, I have recently upgraded my BIOS. Before that I had Ubuntu Server 8.04.1 installed and it worked fine. I did get a message saying that my BIOS didn't pass the ACPI cutoff date (which was 2000), but it continued to boot. Then I installed Windows 98 SE (formatted, got rid of my Ubuntu Server software) in order to run a diagnostic program to show me what BIOS updates were for my machine.... [13:45] ...I successfully flashed my BIOS. Now was about to reinstall Ubuntu Server, but then when I booted off the CD to install it, it said, "ACPI: Unable to load the System Description Tables" and it hung. I even disabled APM in the BIOS, same result. I even used "install acpi=off" with the same result again. Anyone have any answers? [13:45] dishayu: if that doesn't happen then /dev/hda1 [13:45] Did anyone else just have their firefox stop working due to the latest update? === supersaiyaren111 is now known as sirr4h [13:45] Murlidhar : it again gives the same error "/dev/hda1: Not found or not a block device."

[13:46] genio:a few people did the fix is as follows [13:46] dishayu: try sda1 if hda1 doesn't work [13:46] dishayu, just follow the private message from ubottu [13:46] What does +zb %sirr4h!*@* mean?

"Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device." [13:47] kennyyu, then afaik fdisk -l wont show any output :) you will have to boot into the HDD's Ubuntu [13:47] kunim_: well, i don't think i changed anything from inside google earth... but i'm on KDE, for a start [13:47] damaranzig : FYI ... I removed my .xine directory and now it works again [13:47] genio: open task manager and kill the firefox proses then open a terminal and type sudo aptitude remove firefox it should offer you a down grade accept this then disable your plugins then reupgrade [13:47] dishayu: then it is out of my hand [13:48] gharz: ssh will give you a username prompt unless you pass -lmyusername to it, it will prompt for a password unless you're using a certificate. Get past that are you're in a shell. [13:48] arvind_khadri, murlidhar : booting from livecd shows my harddisk as a removable media, could that be a problem? [13:48] yep. firefox is dead [13:48] * genio shakes his fist at that last update [13:48] dishayu, no [13:48] gharz: and ssh will take either hostname or ip address - either is good. Will ask you to confirm fingerprint on first connect. [13:48] dishayu, are you following the factoid i gave you? [13:48] dishayu: no [13:49] genio: its a plugin that is causing the error [13:49] arvind_khadri :yes, i'm reading that [13:49] cfm... thanks. i'll check on it. [13:49] dishayu, good [13:49] genio: firefox 3 ?

And switched over to using OSS 4 and set the preferred audio to OSS. For me personally OSS 4 has provided me with better sound [13:56] why is ubuntu 8.04 installing firefox 3.03 BETA with apt-get upgrade? [13:57] why not FireFox 3.02 NON-BETA? [13:57] los|s, if they are real podcasts, you can subscribe to their RSS feed with a multitude of tools [13:57] xxploit, I've thought of that but I'm not entirely sure the problem is pulseaudio, it does this whenever I play any sound in any program [13:57] xxploit, and whether I selected Alsa Pulseaudio or oss in the sound dialog [13:57] hi, if i want to start a number of services, but they have to start in a certain order, how can i do this?

You have to goto their website I believe to grab it [13:59] exarkun, another question -> i have an oracle service being started by a script in /etc/init.d/, now i need to start something AFTER that specific script is started, how do i do this? [13:59] I just bootstraped a new hardy system but when I try to install software I get segmentation fault from apt/dpkg with lots of dirrent packages. Is this a known bug?

You can type pulseaudio in synaptic and looks at the other packages.

I'd like to know if Ubuntu would only use that? [16:05] kaos_nk, parted (the tool that does the resizing) actually resizes the filesystem first, shrinking it - before the actual partition boundaries are adjusted [16:05] hi [16:06] Ghost21 no - this is fur ubuntu support only, so please take it to the vmware support resources [16:06] unop: does it actually check if there's data that would be affected because of the resize?

[16:08] kaos_nk, errm - i'll say this, perhaps it answers your question then. resizing a filesystem involves moving files around so that enough freespace is created at the location where the new partition boundary should exist - so freespace is kind of used from all over, not just at the end.

[17:18] Axz: strange, cant see why gnome wouldnt pick that up... [17:19] yeah [17:19] trupheenix, you can make that process direct its output to a file and see it... or maybe use X forwarding [17:19] Axz: copy it into /usr/share/applications (the ktorrent.desktop file) and restart gnome and if that doesnt work, sorry im not sure :/ [17:19] trupheenix, next time , before running that program run screen first [17:19] trupheenix, then when you need to deal with it , you can re-connect tot a screen session [17:19] Massiv0r: well, then it will be futile and you will be back here [17:19] Massiv0r: if you boot into single user mode, and reboot, that should take your laptop out hibernation and it "should" stop reading the hibernation file [17:19] !screen | trupheenix [17:19] trupheenix: screen is a terminal multiplexer.

See whether the boxes are ticked in System->Admin->Software Sources [17:46] anyone have tried nUbuntu ? [17:47] bobbo, does it have to b set to a real hostname? [17:47] Any way I can make Ubuntu hard-locked to connect to a specific WiFi net (with passkey, hex) at bootup, WITHOUT launching Gnome, etc. So its connected at command line [17:47] stoner: what do you mean by real hostname? [17:48] arvind_khadri : i checked and they are.this is what it gives me - http://paste.ubuntu.com/50926/ [17:48] bobbo, i mean i can make up a host like my.homeserver.com or do i have to own the domain i use with my ubuntu or not? [17:49] hostname just sets the local hostname, as used on your lan [17:49] stoner: no you dont have to own the domain name, this is just used internally on your LAN [17:49] #gliwice [17:49] Ipswitch, seems like your administrator has restricted your access... you are unable to reach the repo or the mirrors are down [17:50] to have a domain point at your box you need to purchase the domain and have the dns records point to your static ip address [17:50] arvind_khadri : thanks anyway bro. === BioNik_ is now known as BioNik [17:50] hi all [17:50] can someone help me with something [17:51] blueapples, that makes more sense.. but if i dont have a static ip and i use dydns, can my domain dns record point to the dydns host im using?

[17:52] gharz, welcome :) [17:53] i enabled reflections in advanced window settings, now the plugin didnt work and i only see random colors - help [17:53] gharz: no problem :) [17:53] blueapples, i already have dydns running from the router itself [17:53] valourl: i'd first try to restart x, but uh, you might not get back to it so maybe not [17:53] valour1, did you put some bg image with that? [17:53] arvind_khadri - no nothing, i lost my wallpaper too [17:54] stoner, then i think you should just need to set the router to forward to your internal ip address the ports you want to expose. you don't need to change your local host name, as far as i know. i haven't used dyndns from a router though [17:54] arvind_khadri one window is like on box with one color in it - no buttons no nothing [17:54] valour1, disable the plugin then [17:54] hi how do i convert avi to mpeg-4? thanks! [17:54] arvind_khadri: i would like to, but how? i dont see the desktop properlyy [17:54] I accicentally the cord that connected my monitors and after I reconnected it, now when my computer boots up it takes me to some terminal thingy instead of to GNOME. What can I do to remedy this? [17:55] arvind_khadri, i think he can't see the controls to do that. is there a way to disable Compiz from CLI?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [17:55] arvind_khadri, will try thanks [17:55] heya guys. quick question. is there a way to send the user of a laptop a message while you are ssh'd into their computer? [17:55] drewbert1: or try ctrl alt 1 [17:56] stoner you should not have to. i'd remember something like that from net+ i hope. the router is the public host, basically, and forwards certain requests to your internal hidden host [17:56] drewbert1: if none of that works you will need to reconfigure x [17:56] thanks!!! finally it worked [17:56] MrBo isn't the default console on like 5 or 6? [17:56] MrBob: http://ajithc.wordpress.com/2006/09/25/mencoderffmpegtranscode-other-media-relared-scripts/ will tell you [17:56] MrBob: thanks that's great [17:56] MrBob I mean the default x console...

[17:57] unop yeah that sounds right... [17:58] blueapples, it is the default - though you can change it [17:58] arvind_khadri thanks good reference [17:58] blueapples: maybe... [17:58] blueapples, np :) [17:58] how can I download mysql-server to build it locally on ubuntu? [17:58] arvind_khadri should print that one out lol [17:58] blueapples, hmm so if i want to create a mailserver, i should set the MX record to the dydns hostname?

[18:48] Hi can anyone help me setup ndiswrapper-1.53 on ubuntu? The manuals on the ubuntu site are all for 1.43, and don't work. [18:49] gibts nen befehl der immer die letzte zeile von dmesg ausgibt?

[18:49] midbuntu or something.. [18:49] yeah biouser, that's something I've found out the hard way. [18:50] LyX-Student, that sounds interesting, do you have a link?

[18:50] hello, I have problem with "findsmb". If I type this command I can see a few hosts, but when I use "ping" there is about 100 active hosts. Anybudy know how to fix it? [18:50] There are actually instructions on how to get this card working with ndiswrapper on ubuntu, but the Instructions don't work. I've tried them repeatedly. [18:50] Letterbomb05, I actually don't know anything about ndiswrapper... [18:50] jmichelse1: well, in europe i believe the phone companies simply started charging for their SMS gateways, which were previously free... if you're in the US or elsewhere, though, the situation might be different [18:51] I have a dual boot with xp and ubuntu. If I try to reinstall xp will I lose my ability to boot into ubuntu? [18:51] jmichelse1: last time i checked, there still were few limited services that let you send N messages a week, or N in total... maybe those could be enough for you [18:51] LjL I know of a few that are still free for the US but is there a way to use just the web thing from a script somehow? [18:51] thanks biouser I might try that, but then this is a slow PC I am about to install, and I keep thinking Kubuntu's KDE has lower requirement than Xubuntu, but I guess I am wrong [18:52] IamSOG, there are lighterwieght ones than Xfce but not KDE [18:52] LjL yea a few a week would work, have a link or anything? and I would have to be able to do it from a script. thanks for the info [18:52] fluxbox... [18:52] jmichelse1: maybe, maybe not. theoretically, if you can do it from the web, then you can also write a script to do it. *but* things these days tend to use captchas, and it's not trivial to get around those [18:52] Next1, you will have to reinstall grub [18:52] arvind_khadri: I just restarted my machine again, and hit the grub loader button. Apparently it was booting by default using the -server entry, Using the -generic entry it started up and seems to be working now :) [18:52] anyone help me out here? what are the most lightweight window managers?

[18:53] hey, how can i roll back kde4 to kd3? [18:53] could make things easier... [18:53] jmichelse1: the way is finding a service that has no captchas. any captcha is *really* hard to get around, and i say that merely because i don't like the word "impossible" [18:53] biouser, window managers or desktop environments? [18:53] anyone here use awesomeWM? [18:53] biouser, I installed it [18:53] howdie folks [18:53] but now when I run it, it just straight away closes again [18:54] jmichelse1: i don't have a link at hand, i have the name of the script i used to use, which - in its time - had a lot of plug-ins for several services [18:54] anyone know what's going on w/ xandros/linspire [18:54] in terms of their plans [18:54] savage1: wrong room to ask really [18:54] LjL yea, hmm I have been searching about a month now with nothing [18:54] !ot | savage1 [18:54] savage1: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[18:55] savage1: go to -offtopic [18:55] either way [18:55] Letterbomb05, ndisgtk [18:55] didn't come in for an argument [18:55] biouser, i'm wrong m8 [18:55] peace all [18:55] LjL when did you try that last? if you remember [18:55] shearn89, they are all desktop environments :) [18:55] !ndisgtk [18:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about ndisgtk [18:56] arvind_khadri, but whats the default WM for gnome? metacity?

[18:56] LjL interesting, so there is another then [18:57] arvind_khadri: thought so. [18:57] anyone here use awesomeWM? [18:57] updating to 8.10 in progress now :) [18:57] LjL what's the url? maybe I can figure something out from there [18:57] shearn89, ask #gnome to be sure :) [18:57] IamSOG, if you want to use a light desktop environment try xfce and enlightment [18:57] there you have it [18:57] blueapples_ i installed wicd [18:57] but yeah, xubuntu-desktop is nice and light [18:57] biouser, It tells me I have the driver installed [18:57] LjL you would think if its included in the build its still working === trey is now known as _trey_ [18:57] but It doesn't work [18:57] shearn89, if u like awesome, u might like http://wmfs.sangor.net/ [18:57] * Lofde_ loves his desktop environment gnome + compiz ;) [18:57] its even lighter [18:57] but better [18:57] Letterbomb05, you are using network-manager default?

[18:59] jmichelse1: it uses the "skyutils2" package, so i guess it is... i can't seem to find its homepage [19:00] Letterbomb05, I just used synaptic, I don't really think that's what helped necesarily... === jim_p is now known as jim_p-busy [19:00] LjL ok lol, there is also a firefox addon for sms send, wonder if that still works, you would think if it does you could strip it down to code only [19:00] biouser, well It says the drivers are installed, so what would you recommend I do? [19:00] f-ing is on the banned words list.. arvind_khadri if you hadn't brought attention to it none of the kids would have known, but ok [19:00] shearn89, cant help u there, i have no idea about awesome [19:00] hi there. does anyone understand sound cards, gstreamer and campcaster? [19:00] maniheer: kk. tx m8. [19:01] Letterbomb05, have you tried booting without the ethernet plugged in? I know it sounds lame... [19:01] jmichelse1: well, look, if you have a site that works and has no captchas, i believe i can quickly write a script for it [19:01] padee, what about them? [19:01] biouser, I think I have, but i'll try again. [19:01] exit [19:01] nothing to lose. [19:01] is there any dVD player for linux that can play the DVd movies ? [19:01] LjL I would love to learn to write it myself, I have some scripting experience but how would you get the web interaction? [19:02] !dvd | sergiu [19:02] !dvd [19:02] sergiu: 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 [19:02] jmichelse1: oh, wget. [19:02] jmichelse1: or i'd do it in php [19:02] Next1, If you burn it on CD change bios settings to first read CD, and it will be starts like OS, you will find option which rescure linux booting. I used this program and everything is fine. [19:02] jmichelse1: if it merely uses GET, then it's trivial, if it uses POST, i think it can be done with just wget anyway [19:02] arvind_khadri, the problem is, that our radio transmitting program only play sounds to the internal sound card. we have an external one (m-audio delta 1010), but the scheduler program from campcaster does not send any signal to the external soundcard. [19:03] LjL wget dls the page, hmmmmmm I am too new to think about it fully, I need to learn to use wget to a more substantial percentage [19:03] witek23: That's awesome, it'll save me a lot of work. Thanks [19:03] Anyone know why sometimes in ubuntu if i open a program, it just instantly closes... ive noticed this several times with several different programs, firefox, Task Manager, and even audacious [19:04] padee, #alsa would be more helpful i feel , hoping you are using alsa [19:04] LjL thanks a lot, I think I have more to go on for my little project [19:04] so what, i have installed libdvdcss2 and still can't select titles [19:04] arvind_khadri, yes, alsa is running [19:04] Lofde_, maybe due to a segfault [19:04] jmichelse1, interactive web sites usually work like this: the page containing the form simply sends the contents of the form in the URL, when you hit "Submit". so you merely need to reproduce the URL. as an example, when i type "test" into google, it goes to the URL http://www.google.com/search?q=test&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 [19:04] padee, then #alsa is the place to ask :) [19:04] what dod i need to install for nvidia drivers [19:04] arvind_khadri: im in the process of doing some updates ? [19:04] ? [19:04] jmichelse1: the syntax there is pretty easy to parse, and all you need is to make wget download that URL [19:04] Lofde_: try opening from a terminal and see if there are any error messages [19:04] arvind_khadri: restarting always seems to make it go away [19:05] Lofde_, use the terminal [19:05] mcphail: alright [19:05] what Restricted Electives, Unrestricted Electives, and Elective Subjetcs means in college terms? [19:05] LjL ah ok that's much easier to think about [19:05] jmichelse1: other sites (more commonly these days) use the POST method, which doesn't involve the URL and is a bit more involved [19:05] arvind_khadri, and how do i do that? [19:05] LjL and the catcha as the image thing righgt? to stop bots? [19:05] hi. skype works, but my sound recorder is unable to record anything? [19:05] jmichelse1: still, i recall wget has some option to send a POST header when downloading a URL [19:05] !envy | pryorda [19:05] pryorda: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [19:05] LjL very interesting [19:06] padee, / join #alsa [19:06] biouser, It did nothing. [19:06] jmichelse1: yeah, if it has a captcha, you're really unlikely to get around it... unless it's a *very* simple captcha (in which case, you might have some luck with an OCR program) [19:06] jvm, see the levels in alsamixer [19:06] arvind_khadri: ok, it DID load from the terminal, but wouldnt from double clicking using the GUI ? [19:06] arvind_khadri, thanks a lot [19:06] LjL understood [19:07] Lofde_, yea it will ... or else use the tty [19:07] LjL what about this one, freebiesms.co.uk [19:07] guys, I'm thinking about installing awn on ubuntu hardy heron. Is there anything I should keep in mind before doing so? [19:07] LjL would there be an extra charge because its out of the country? to those receiving [19:07] jmichelse1: i also see that Gizmo (at gismosms.com) lets you send SMS... it has a captcha, but perhaps it can also send them from the Gizmo software itself, and you could sniff the traffic and find out how it's done [19:07] * mentallysilent waves hello [19:07] xomp, no :) [19:08] LjL I peeked at that one a bit too [19:08] arvind_khadri: so you think its segfaults that are causing it to not stay open when double clicked from the gui? its strange that it would work launching from terminal , but not when double clicked [19:08] jmichelse1: well, don't quote me on this, but i believe that *nowhere* in europe are you ever charged for SMS [19:08] jmichelse1: i mean, for receiving SMS [19:08] LjL lucky [19:08] arvind_khadri, so the ubuntu package of awn will do fine? I thought I read somewhere that you have to get special ppa's of awn. [19:08] LjL lol, cool [19:08] jmichelse1: this thing of "pay for receiving" is solely an US oddity afik [19:08] arvind_khadri, what do ive to do to record what's outputted by my speakers? [19:09] I'm having a problem with running uTorrent in wine, randomly, utorrent suddenly decides it's not going to accept any more connections on the port it's listening on, even though netstat -pl shows the program as still listening on the port. I've asked both the wine and utorrent people and it seems like it must be a ubuntu problem rather than a utorrent/wine one as no-one else seems to be suffering from this problem. [19:09] biouser: http://www.canonical.com/projects/ubuntu/nbr [19:09] LjL so that one I sent you, it has no captcha from what I could find, I think maybe that one will work [19:09] !help [19:09] 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 [19:09] jmichelse1: let me see [19:09] Lofde_, then you would have to ask #gnome ... something might be going wrong in the dbus [19:09] LjL capitalism at its best [19:09] biouser they call it NBR netbook remix [19:09] lol [19:09] xomp, ya you have to... you want the howto/ [19:09] arvind_khadri, yes please :D [19:09] !awn [19:09] Avant Window Navigator is a dock-like navigation bar for the Linux desktop that positions itself at the bottom of the screen.

[19:11] hello folks.. is there any way to "reload" my audio driver or sth if it stops to working, eg. audaciouss not playbacking anymore :( [19:11] biouser: what about Latex here...?! any good guides or sth :]? [19:12] anybudy know how to display local host with findsmb command? I was trying but it shows a few hosts, not all active. [19:12] jmichelse1: well, i have a little problem testing it, because it insists in requiring a "valid" phone number to do anything [19:12] tyberion, modprobe -r [19:12] Letterbomb05, yeah, that was a long shot... one time switching to knetworkmanager helped me but that is not very sound advice either.... sry that you are struggling with wireless I was smacking myself in the head last night over it [19:12] jmichelse1: i honestly haven't a clue what a valid mobile number looks like in the UK [19:12] the titles in dvd don't works, the subtiers aren't show.. - linux sucks [19:12] I'm trying to run "apt-get upgrade" and it wants to install new versions of bzr and bzr-svn, but says they're unverified? [19:12] tyberion, lshort? #latex..... [19:13] LjL oh, well I read some more on their site, it has some development stuff you can use, but it does have some charges for use, me either on the UK # [19:13] $sudo apt-get install texlive-full !!!!!!! [19:14] jmichelse1: i can say that it uses POST [19:14] biouser: I use LyX for LaTeX and TeX etc. of course tex-live but not full waste of space if you don't know all languages on the world :D [19:14] LjL ok cool, so there may be a chance wget can do it but not as easily as others [19:14] jmichelse1: which country do you need to send to anyway? UK i suppose? [19:15] can someone help me install windows xp in vmware-server [19:15] LjL no just US to US [19:15] jmichelse1: oh, i had understood you were sending to another country [19:15] LjL I forget how far and wide ubuntu stretches, im usa local [19:15] tyler__: did you look at the ubottu link? [19:15] LyX-Student, what proportion do you think is non-english languages? [19:15] LjL nope, just want to send sms to myself from my server via script [19:15] LjL server info and stock quotes to my phone lol [19:16] sorry can u post that link again [19:16] biouser: the reason why I'm here is that I need LyX for a semester project and LyX depends on boost, which is not the current version on any ubuntu. That's why IntuitiveNipple is helping me out, he'll save many headaches for all who need boost 1.36.0 [19:16] hello and good evening, i need a program for linux that i can use to connect to all my servers at once, via ssh, and run an update command for my sites [19:16] !vmware > tyler__ [19:16] tyler__, please see my private message === DEA7H_ is now known as DEA7H [19:16] jmichelse1: i haven't a clue what a US number looks, either [19:16] biouser: texlive-full contains docs for many other languages besides those I can read [19:16] jmichelse1: also, anyway, www.freebiesms.us seems to be the one that's capable of sending to the US [19:17] LjL lol I am not sure what the country code is but otherwise its xxx-xxx-xxxx [19:17] LyX-Student, I wonder how much space is non-english docs...? it would be nice if there was a texlive-full-yourlanguagehere package [19:18] jmichelse1, is US +1 ? [19:18] biouser: But if I feel lazy on my next install, (OCT 30 Intrepid) I'll install it. space is no more luxus these days. anyways apt or synaptic should be aware of your language and automatically blend other languages out. Like you mentioned. [19:19] jmichelse1: hah, that worked (the US country code is 1) [19:19] LjL so smug of US to take #1 lol [19:19] LjL and it sent to a fake # ? worked via script? or you were just testing the websites form? [19:19] LjL haha oh why? :D ;) [19:19] obvious [19:20] hi [19:20] jmichelse1: i was just testing the website. but, err, it redirects me to a paypal site for billing... [19:20] Is there a way to see the release notes (fix list) for packages using the apt-tools? I'd like to view what has been fixed when doing apt-get -s upgrade before committing to it..

[19:21] how can I find out which of the drivers for modprobe is my sound driver? [19:22] hey um when i stick my usb stick in, ubuntu shows that its there, but when i open it to see its contents, its showing nothing on it. There's files on it, but when I try to put stuff on the stick, it says its read only. what do i do? [19:22] neeku you could use synaptic and search for "partition" [19:22] Anyone want to help me with my wireless, ive got an atheros card I finally worked things out so it recognizes i have wireless but when i connect to wireless the internet does not work [19:22] Neeku, use gparted live cd [19:22] !gparted | Neeku [19:22] Neeku: gparted is a !GUI partitioning program.

[19:58] how i do now? [19:58] l337ingDisorder: is it defunct; who owns it? [19:58] ah okey, i don't want to run file, only see source, so if it is VB what program can i use ? [19:58] does anybody know the difference between the autohinter and the normal hinter under X? Is it enough to leave out the tag in .fonts.conf? [19:58] it dont matter ill just email myself the contents [19:58] l337ingDisorder:look up PID with top, then kill or killall [19:58] http://paste.ubuntu.com/50985/ [19:58] IntuitiveNipple: um.. guess I'm having a l337ing disorder here - i would tend to think that I own it...

[19:59] IntuitiveNipple: oh well then definitely me, it's not run as sudo or anything [20:00] kl [20:00] Has anyone else every noticed that the degree of l33t or haxor in an IRC nick-name is inversely proportional to the actual level of skill in the art?

[20:01] l337ingDisorder: It is possible the process is tied to some resource that can't be released. What's the process name? [20:01] my laptop keeps over-heating and shutting off, is there a way in ubuntu to set the speed down???? === ifroog__ is now known as [sexy|vaio_tt] [20:01] * crashflow is not known as l33tn00bhaxxor [20:01] IntuitiveNipple: hence the term l337ing DISORDER :) [20:02] Does anybody know when the lastest GNOME will be merged? Actuall gnome has an error that prevents panel to stick to the bottom if not fullsize. [20:02] Maybe learning to spell correctly would help :p [20:02] IntuitiveNipple: process name is xwinwrap :) [20:02] Why do some newly opened applications come to the foreground and take focus when others go to the background and not take focus.

[20:03] joshwhat check compiz settings... theres a control panel for that "focus" behavior [20:03] hey, where did /etc/X11/xorg.conf go? it just has weird entries? [20:03] ShinobiTeno, I've already said that I'm not using Compiz Fusion. [20:04] alternatively: in what file exactly is the xorg configured for ubuntu? [20:04] esc its X.org server config [20:04] esc: apt-get install pastebinit [20:04] l337ingDisorder: Interesting, now I look it up, you're not the first one with this issue. I helped someone else several months ago with a similar problem [20:04] ShinobiTeno: You just have to go into gconf-editor -> apps -> panels -> toplevels [20:04] esc: pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [20:04] l337ingDisorder: Let me search my IRC logs for what we did about it [20:04] i just installed xubuntu, using the alternate install cd. and something is wrong with the display settings [20:04] ShinobiTeno: then change the settings in top_panel_screen0 or whatever panels you want to move around.. (you'll want to change the x and y values mainly) [20:04] ll337ingDisorder man i was on #gnome channel. its a bug. tried EVERYTHING [20:05] l337ingDisorder inclusive deletion and renaming [20:05] unfortunatley the machine i am using isn't connected to the internet [20:05] esc: url from terminal ?

[20:05] IntuitiveNipple: thanks :) standing by... [20:05] there is no way that I can set the cpu clock down in ubuntu or tell the computer to always run as slow as possible and take its time and not overheat... [20:05] its a default install, but the xorg.conf is kinda empty [20:06] OMG I need some help bad! :( [20:06] ShinobiTeno: np, hopefully it helps :) if it is in fact a bug then that guide won't help... but hopefully it's not :) [20:06] esc: url from terminal ? [20:06] Lofde_ okay... [20:06] Lofde_ ask :) [20:06] Ok, I was in the process of running the update to change from 8.04 to 8.10.... and it didnt do some of the updates [20:06] eep [20:06] l337ingDisorder thanks man! [20:06] and now i restarted, and it looked new, it has the 8.10 login screen, but when i logged in... now its stuck in enlightment window manager instead of GNOME :(!! [20:07] im having display problems in xubuntu, the screen is blank on the right side. can anyone tell me how to fix this?

[20:07] alec, what pc? [20:07] alec, and what graphic card? [20:07] lore20: excuse me. its an ibok g3 [20:08] DasEi1: sorry, the machine has no internet connection [20:08] lore20: i am not sure what graphic card. [20:08] IntuitiveNipple: yeah it works most of the time.. one bash script changes the desktop background to blank/black and puts up an .AVI of a fireplace, another bash script sends pkill xwinwrap and restores the desktop image... usually no problems but this time xwinwrap seems to be clinging to life like a 103-year-old freemason [20:08] l337ingDisorder: The thing that occurs to me is, the process xwinwrap started, is it still running, or did it start other processes - they might be holding it up and need killing first [20:08] esc: uu, how to update ? why no inet ? [20:08] if I make the room near 0 celsius, the computer runs better... [20:09] l337ingDisorder: Yeah, I remember using it to put my security camera feeds onto the desktop [20:09] nice [20:09] alec:ternminal : lshw shows your graka amongst others [20:09] l337ingDisorder: but unless I wanted to never have other windows open - in other words, do no work - it was pointless :0 [20:09] i'mma just swallow my pride and follow the standard Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer Official Troubleshooting Guide To Any Problem: reboot. [20:09] l337ingDisorder: So, I suspect you've got a child or grandchild process of xwinwrap running [20:09] * lore20 at phone [20:10] hmm i'll look for mplayer [20:10] this laptop is the mobile text editor extraordinario [20:10] DasEi1: cause i need an openvpn client, i am on a weird as fuck experimental network, that uses a layer 2 vpn gateway [20:10] l337ingDisorder: you could switch to VT #1 then stop gdm... then try killing any stray processes before restarting gdm [20:10] !language | esc [20:10] esc: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[20:56] I installed ubuntu-studio audio package, but would like to have the extended version of one of the softwares, that is Pure Data.

[20:58] Paddy_EIRE: just be sure it won't keep you away from your cuppa coffee [20:58] noodlesgc: I see thanks. Just for my better information... what exactly is a metapackage?

[20:58] Does anyone have any idea how to forward Internet access from my Ubuntu box to my Treo over Bluetooth? [20:59] lorenzo its a package that depends on a whole bunch of different packages, so it installs a certain set of software [20:59] yo yo yo [20:59] word yo [20:59] gmm46, depends on what you want to do.. xming lets you have a X desktop/apps on the remote box, or vnc, or freenx, ssh is also handy [20:59] how do I get the 'configure your sound card' dialogue up?

[20:59] I am using a German version, so perhaps it's not exactly what it says on an English version. It says Couldn't find package build-essentials.

[21:00] dr_willis, ok, i'll try [21:00] im woried that i wont beable to do anything on this pc from another [21:00] noodlesgc: ok.

[21:01] fsl: you just plug it in [21:01] but the other pc is windows [21:01] lorenzo well, since a metapackge depends on a program being installed, when you uninstall that program, the metapackge must be removed also [21:01] faceface, hello [21:01] doesn't work, my usb mouse works but its slow and jumps around the screen, danbh_intrepid === lo is now known as Guest99458 [21:01] gmm46, freenx, vnc, have windows clients.. or install xming, and use xdmcp to have X apps appear on the windows box.

[21:02] <^paradox^> i was on for three hours last nite with this. i cant just give up. ive got to get this printer setup to be shared [21:02] I have another question. When I installed the Java JRE and JDK I also tried to install the documentation (in Synaptic). Of course, it didn't work out, but now every time I'm installing a package it tries to install the doc. How can I stop that? [21:02] danbh_intrepid: newest, i downloaded it a few days ago. [21:02] noodlesgc: Ok thanks I think I got it, what I wanted to be sure about is that all the other software wasn't being uninstalled too. [21:02] apt-get remove java-doc [21:03] fsl: sounds like a bug, maybe file in launchpad.net [21:03] Guest34383: I'll try.

Goofee8961 was working with me but had to leave last nite [21:04] damaranzig_: once you do that save the file and do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" [21:04] biouser, you 'mount' the .tar.gz as a directory [21:04] damaranzig_: what version of ubuntu are you running?

[21:06] danbh_intrepid: feisty [21:06] I have another question: I am woring on an install of ubuntu 8.04.1 on an external hard drive: I successfully managed and made it bootable with grub. But I noticed that the grub on usb "sees" itself as (hd0,0). So I corrected this in the menu. What I haven't understood yet is how it "sees" a possible fixed hard drive on the computer I plug the drive in [21:06] biouser, your computer dissapeared? [21:07] faceface, my archive [21:07] damaranzig_: ok [21:07] danbh_intrepid: is that bad as is "bad" ??? [21:07] damaranzig_: what? [21:07] danbh_intrepid: is that bad as in "bad" ??? [21:07] biouser, did you untar it? [21:07] damaranzig_: well, I saw what you wrote, I just dont get it [21:08] how do I pull up the sound-card config gui? [21:08] lorenzosu, ive seen some machines/bios's that reorder the drives if it sees/or boots from external usb drives. [21:08] danbh_intrepid: I meant should I go for 7.10 instead ??? [21:08] danbh_intrepid: or 8++ [21:08] lorenzosu, i was thinking on one box.. any drive usb drive i booted from became hd0 [21:09] damaranzig_: but, the only thing bad is that 7.04 is no longer supported, nor is 7.10. Only security updates, and critical updates that regard data loss [21:09] dr_willis: I tried that and on at least 3 machines it was like that, but where does grub "get" the hd0, hd1 etc.? [21:09] danbh_intrepid: that bad, huh? [21:10] damaranzig_: its not bad, if you can live with whatever bugs you find [21:10] my sound card isn't detected when I log in as a certain user [21:10] lorenzosu, it scans for all the drives i guess and enumerates them that way. [21:10] dr_willis: do you know if there is a way to get a list from grub, similarly as one would do with fdisk -l?

Thats why the external drive must be plugged in. There are probably docs on how to install ubuntu on an external drive. I think it involves just being able to boot from that drive. Anyway, good luck [21:36] WarrenMt, not sure then sorry [21:36] xmagixx: when you right click do this right click on the java6 option and go to properties [21:36] btw, can do adduser stuff from command line, just fine [21:36] anybody here, who has some deeper knowledge of ubuntu?

[21:55] for some reason, this particular user 'fell out' off all the groups [21:55] trigpin, command1 && command2 [21:56] that explains how he fell out of 'sudo' [21:56] faceface, probably a misuse of groupadd ;) [21:56] the wmp icon is in the wine program folder. However when i go to try and uninstall the program its not listed to be removed. [21:56] faceface, add the user to admin group to get sudo access [21:56] nickrud, sounds right I prolly forgot the -a [21:56] peter77, I have compaq v3000, gusty kernel required me to boot off with 'pci=assign-busses', where as hardy kernel boots with out it [21:56] node357, cool [21:56] Thanks channel!!!

[21:58] sometimes it is hard to get an answer depending on who is or is not here [21:58] peter77, I just read about it in slashdot some release 7 I think, I didn't give it a try fearing lack of drivers [21:58] Azzmodan, thanks [21:58] I only have limited passwords [21:58] ad1, no problem nmap is a pretty neat tool to do everything from network scans to ping scans, to detecting what os is running on what [21:59] trigpin: the NTFS option is greyed out [21:59] in gparted [21:59] peter77, you could go back to Gutsy :D [22:00] nvidia legaxy is pita to get working [22:00] MrDudle: how do i set up a printer on the win? [22:00] Hillshum, uhmm [22:00] hardcorelinux, might do, although gutsy froze on occassion it was rare [22:00] Axle, can I suggest you create the NTFS partition in Windows? [22:00] well I don't know what kind of printer you have :P [22:00] Can anyone point me in the right direction... I'm looking to edit the ubuntu live cd, so when It boots I can have some things added to the desktop and run a shell script to mount some network drives... Anyone help?

[22:21] can you please scan and see if you find any errors im not that computer savy :( [22:21] Azzmodan: it doesnt give the application chance to respond to the kill signal properly. you should send it a couple sensible signals first, if it still doesnt quit then consider -9 as a last resort [22:21] belkinhelp2: yeah annoying [22:21] sileni-> you are wasting your time, listen, you'll never find it [22:21] belkinhelp2, ooh, this is a test of your reflexes: move the download box close to the close button for the tab, then see if you can click click real fast :) [22:21] keep that one in the notebook [22:21] linxeh, that is what he asked, how do i "force" firefox to close [22:21] nickrud....already tried that...im too slow [22:21] looks fine sileni [22:22] how would i force quit just one tab in firefox? [22:22] You can't [22:22] ha [22:22] amenado, right now im not just trying to find what went wrong in that single event... i want to make sure nothing is wrong [22:22] belkinhelp2, that would be nice to have [22:22] ejer: ok thank you is there any other logs we should look at to make sure ?

[23:07] there's a restricted drivers icon that shows atheros drivers and wireless drivres "in-use"... but i don't know how to actually use wireless [23:07] !ru | Walker [23:07] Walker: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [23:08] sileni:check out if the back of your pc has one or two graphic-cards [23:08] bobertdos: i had a problem playing music in rythmbox and in the same time playing sound in firefox "flash objects" so libflashsupport was reccomended for me, so whould i still need it [23:08] Paddy_EIRE: my laptop has an internal 802.11b/g card, and i'd like to try it [23:08] hi guys....this is my second day immersed in linux...I mistakenly destroyed my windows partitions on my harddrives, and had an ubuntu cd laying around...so....I'm using linux from now on...but...i was a windows power user with no idea how to code, so ...its like learning to ride a bike all over again... [23:08] DEViUS: sudp apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [23:08] Paddy_EIRE any chance i get it running without always stopping it? [23:08] Walker, use sudo make install [23:08] wep: network manager in your notification area should show you a list of available wireless networks [23:08] Avidemux is telling me "Only QCIF and subQCIF are allowed for H.263" if I try to save using H.263 codec. What does it mean? What am I doing wrong? [23:09] DEViUS: sudo apt-get install nspluginwrapper if you are using 64bit [23:09] Walker, and for the future, if you do LANGUAGE="C" , the errors come out in english. [23:09] DasEi1: i think it has 1 [23:09] st3ph: that sounds awfully flakey to me I wish I could be more help.. without any kind of error output information I cannot help you sorry [23:09] Paddy_EIRE: only has my wired device, and point to point [23:09] good to hear, kingtekrin [23:09] DasEi1: but it has like tv cable like stuff like you know it says audio in and audio out [23:09] lol [23:09] andy_: i had a problem playing music in rythmbox and in the same time playing sound in firefox "flash objects" so libflashsupport was reccomended for me, so whould i still need it [23:10] wep: open a terminal and type ifconfig and pastebin the results [23:10] !paste | wep [23:10] wep: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [23:12] DEViUS: you need to learn the system, you were close [23:12] hey i got an idea. the compiz cube should come up and start spinning as a screen saver. anyone? i have no idea where to even begin with this... lol [23:12] andy_: ok im done with the graphics, webcam, microphone and wireless [23:12] DEViUS: remember the people in here do this for free so I have no dedication to helping you [23:12] andy_: yes i know [23:12] kebomix: ok. Give a me a few minutes while I write your new fstab. Also, use my nick before your messages. I won't be warned of them if you don't [23:13] DEViUS: so you cant moan [23:13] andy_: it would be kind of you to help me [23:13] andy_: i wont moan, ok [23:13] anyone using gnome-do? [23:13] So I take it no one online here today knows how to use Avidemux? [23:13] ok , take your time , i just want to know if this sawp used by my current ubuntu or not [23:13] ok [23:13] Is it possible to record skype video calls? [23:14] sileni: so you use onboard graphics then, at reboot go in bios and try to find out, if graphics share system-ram and limit to 256mb max [23:14] kebomix: i think you can monitor that by going System>>Administration>>Systemmonitor [23:14] Lunar_Lamp: if you really want to record it I guess there ought to be a way.. not sure if there is an easy way though [23:14] Lunar_Lamp, I remember there is an addon for skype to record that [23:14] anyone using gnome-do? [23:14] andy_: what else do you think deserves some attention that could possibly help my system [23:14] Lunar_Lamp: only if both parties are naked. [23:14] Lunar_Lamp: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=119575 google is handy [23:14] kebcat /proc/swaps [23:14] DasEi1: ok so what should i do ? [23:14] DEViUS: i probably had to split but i have no convictions to you or anyone, neither does anyone else [23:14] DasEi1: i should go to bios now and do what? [23:15] I have a Ubuntu server without a xServer and i want to host a bf2142 demo server but there isnt a linux version for that how can i do this? [23:15] Lunar_Lamp: this also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HowToRecordSkypeCalls [23:15] andy_: i dont get what you mean [23:15] kebomix: didn't you notice that some windows are no longer being mounted at bootup? Can you also give me the output of "df -h" ? [23:15] st3ph: I am still searching [23:15] Ziggyzxxyl: dammnit :-( ;-p [23:15] ty Paddy_EIRE i look in google too, but they mostly have a soundcard [23:15] sileni: at reboot go in bios and try to find out, if graphics share system-ram and limit to 256mb max [23:15] anyone using gnome-do?

[23:16] DEViUS: i could even join and just sit in chat [23:16] back [23:16] Lunar_Lamp: google for "record skype video" [23:16] kebomix: cat cat /proc/swaps [23:16] andy_: you are still talkin' about that, forget that, its over, no biggie [23:17] wut is that ? [23:17] DEViUS: But there are so many people here that there will likely be someone here to help you shortly after someone leaves. [23:17] i have im-sensors and the gnome applet working fine. but can i get those values outside gnome? /proc/acpi... temp doesn't report correct value [23:17] DEViUS: its not a job. if i have other stuff to do then im gonna do that if its important [23:17] kebomix: or even cat /proc/swaps [23:17] Paddy_EIRE: I have done that already, with no answers yet :-p [23:17] Which is why I asked in here :-) [23:17] kebomix: How to check the current swap partitions in use [23:17] DEViUS: i just want you to understand [23:17] Lunar_Lamp: ok.. gimmie a sec [23:17] DEViUS: cool you got your other stuff sorted [23:17] andy_: nah its cool [23:17] ok [23:18] kebomix: you have too Linux partitions, one windows and one swap? Is the other supposed to be mounted somewhere? Because only one is being used [23:18] Is that the Turnip? [23:18] Paddy_EIRE: the only ways I can see are to do a screen-record of the entire desktop. [23:18] kebomix: sorry, I meant "two Linux partitions" [23:18] DEViUS: libflashsupport is only necessary for Pulse support in 9, 10 does it by itself, so no you would not need it [23:18] does an interface need to be defined in /etc/network/interfaces before ifconfig can bring it up?

[23:20] wep: have you done lspci [23:20] http://paste.ubuntu.com/51070/ [23:20] snova, yes without using the sensors applet, outside gnome [23:20] wep: and ifconfig [23:20] kebomix: the other Linux partition that you have [23:20] ubottu's information is lacking YIM support for Pidgin, even though it has support. [23:20] kebomix: cat /proc/swaps [23:20] sry my laptop rebooted because fan speed is slow in ubuntu and temprature is high always , that wasnt in windows do u have solution for that ? [23:20] wep: also what is the laptop model? [23:21] kebomix: You had too many cats :) [23:21] Is there a way to favor repo X over repo y, but sometimes repo x may not be available, so get it from repo y? [23:21] Paddy_EIRE: lspci shows the Atheros AR242x chipset.. [23:21] mcquaid: the 'acpi' command does that. add the -t option to make it print temperature info instead of just battery/ac. if the values look wrong, that's because it uses celsius by default. add '-f' to get farenheit. [23:21] yeah , help me with fan now plz , my laptop reboot always [23:21] bobertdos: the flash plugin in the ubuntu packages is not 10 it is "9" [23:21] Paddy_EIRE: it's a toshiba u305 [23:21] the fan speed is low in ubuntu [23:21] Paddy_EIRE could that be useful? Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0d8c:000c C-Media Electronics, Inc. Audio Adapter? [23:21] it is 3434 !!!! [23:21] st3ph: possibly.. I will check that out [23:21] too low , how to increase it ! [23:22] ty Paddy_EIRE [23:22] kebomix: if you're running a dell, there's a package to manipulate it manually - i8kutils [23:22] <`101gfx> Hey all, I've booted into 8.04 from a livecd so I could remove an HD install of 8.04. I've removed all the partitions but when I go into install it still shows "Ubuntu 8.04" as taking up 24% of the disk [23:22] snova, no acpi -t reports the wrong one. it's constantly 40. [23:22] im using IBM thinkpad R52 [23:22] I have enabled nvidia drivers and now my login screen is bigger than the display area. The password box is at the bottom of the screen. When I log in, the resolution is 1280x1024. How do I fix the login resolution? [23:22] andy_: what else do you think deserves some attention that could possibly help my system [23:22] wep: look at the notes at the bottom http://www.linlap.com/wiki/Toshiba+Satellite+U300-U305 [23:22] kebomix: where is the other Linux partition that you have supposed to be mounted? [23:23] wep: seems you need to use ndiswrapper [23:23] <`101gfx> I think the problem is that I have to edit the GRUB file, but I can't access it from the livecd? [23:23] mcquaid: that sounds about right. 104 degrees: it's in celsius until you add '-t', so run 'acpi -tf' instead. [23:23] it is 1400 gb space that is swap [23:23] sry [23:23] DEViUS: you could install nspluginnwrapper, then nspluginwrapper -i [23:23] snabel6k, cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature also always reports 40. i ran lm-sensors and it set up the other sensors correctly. there is two for cpu one just reports 40 the other is accurate [23:23] 1400mb [23:23] is there a way to stack windows vertically or horizontally so they are half the screen? in windows you can click on a window hold the shift key and right click on the second window and choose it to stack vertically or horizontally and the two windows will be half the size of the desktop... does this make sense? [23:23] Paddy_EIRE: is that included on the livecd? [23:23] `101gfx: you can. Search in /media/something_here/boot/grub/menu.lst [23:24] andy_: what does this do? [23:24] mcquaid: unless the problem is that you know it should be much higher? because then you're having a problem with ACPI, and i don't know what to do about that. [23:24] + hold the ctrl key rather [23:24] Guys, can anyone help with setting up network on a server. I am getting "No DHCPOFFERS received" when trying to restart networking [23:24] hmm is there any command like cat.. to view a file consequently with its changes... ?! but changes in whole file.. not only in the end like tail -f does............ tahnkies [23:24] snova, no it's not right. it always reports 40. it never fluctuates. After gaming or whatever, always 40. so I installed lmsenors and now I have additional sensors that work with sensors applet. I want to read those values [23:24] tyberion: diff [23:24] i see from command u sent me "cat cat /proc/swap" that there is no swap on my ubuntu as i created partition for it [23:24] bobertdos: the flash plugin in the ubuntu packages is not 10 it is "9" [23:24] kebomix: I want to know where do you want that partition to appear. In /media/something? Is it /home/ ? Something else? [23:24] wep: have you got hardy (8.04) [23:25] i'm just saying the value that cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature and acpi -t always report 40. it's not reading any sensor [23:25] kebomix: that command is actually "cat /proc/swap" [23:25] kebomix: add it to /etc/fstab [23:25] mcquaid: oh, sorry. i didn't see that. well, that IS weird. [23:25] IntuitiveNipple: that compares 2 files doesnt it? [23:25] st3ph: I know this mentions firefox and youtube a lot but could you look and see if anything here is helpful http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=599306 [23:25] kebomix: use "sudo swapon /dev/sdaX" where sdaX is the disk and partition number of the swap partition [23:25] but whatever modules im-sensors loaded are reading additional sensors, one of them reporting the correct cpu temp [23:25] IntuitiveNipple: what would be the command to view a certain file? [23:25] paranoid_android: it means it can't get an ip address. [23:25] tyberion: You said you wanted to see changes in a whole file [23:26] how do i stop the motion program? [23:26] sensors applets displays them fine. just wanted a way outside of the sensors applet to read those values [23:26] Id like to ask for an option to bookmark posts @ ubuntuforums.org [23:26] IntuitiveNipple: yeah, but consequently, not upon running... [23:26] wep: you will need to download the windows driver though described in that link I gave you [23:26] ty Paddy_EIRE [23:26] the sensor applet also displays the dead 40 one. but i just unchecked that... [23:26] tyberion: I don't understand what you're trying to do [23:26] mcquaid: i have no idea. if lmsensors works with some kind of library, you might look into that, i guess. [23:27] well I got a file and I just want it to have displayed in a term, and automatically reloaded if it changes.. [23:27] kebomix: I've your fstab written already. I just need to know where you want the other partition to appear [23:27] all: does anyone know how to stop the program MOTION O_O It's spying on me and i have no idea how to stop it lol...or control it [23:27] snova: can i PM you ? [23:27] Hi, anyone in here run game servers on ubuntu? [23:27] paranoid_android: you could, but i doubt i'd be much help. plus my lag is awful. [23:28] andy_: what does this do? [23:28] in / home [23:28] mine says .1 s lag [23:28] O_O [23:28] i've been getting alot of hard kernel panics lately, they just seem to popup randomly and I'm not sure I can discern why from the logs.. anyone got some pointers? [23:28] !kopete > cars__ [23:28] cars__, please see my private message [23:29] clear [23:29] ls [23:29] lol [23:29] tyberion: I've never seen or used a tool like that, especially in a terminal. If it's read-only you could use "watch -n X less " I guess [23:29] eeeeep [23:29] kebomix: you're sure of that? Can you give me the output of "df -h" [23:29] back [23:29] IntuitiveNipple: thank you very much=) [23:29] srsly...does anyone know how to stop the program motion? [23:29] or at least control it [23:30] Paddy_EIRE: what's the root password on livecds? i can't modprobe [23:30] wep: there's no root password [23:30] ok I guess I am looking for tile or whaw to tile windows vertically or horizontally... has this function been incorporated by default in 8.04? or do I need to add these programs? [23:30] Paddy_EIRE can i pastebin u the conf output? [23:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/51072/ [23:30] kingtekrin, type into terminal "ps -Al | grep MOTION" to display the process number, then type "sudo kill " [23:30] why would modprobe say "operation not permitted"? [23:30] WHAT'S the difference between Ubuntu desktop edition and the server edition? [23:30] i dont know much about linux , sry ijust used it 6 days ago [23:30] sweet thanks [23:30] tyberion: If you just want to know if a file changes you could use the inotify tools to put a watch on the file [23:30] wep: because only root can insert modules. run it with sudo [23:31] !paste [23:31] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [23:31] ahtmly2k: the packages that are installed. [23:31] but all packages are available for download no? [23:31] snova, heh it's just sensors to get the values [23:31] so they're basically the same...? [23:31] noone tiles windows? [23:32] ic [23:32] but is the server edition 32bit or 64bit? [23:32] so is there a way to make sure my wireless chipset is turned on? [23:32] ahtmly2k: yes. the difference is only the set that it installs by default for you. it's possible to go from one to the other, but it's said not to be easy. [23:32] i need a way to flip the soft switch [23:32] kebomix: run "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab" and switch that file for this http://paste.ubuntu.com/51075/ [23:32] ahtmly2k: or at least to have some snags.

[23:33] i just installed xubuntu with hdtv and the dpi settings are all messed up, i tried multiple fixes online but the text is still way too small someone please help me [23:33] kebomix: before that, maybe it's a good idea to backup it "sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.backup" [23:33] DasEi1: i went under advanced part of bios and found this Primary Video Adapter it is set to PCI --the options for that are things like onboard integrated [23:33] ahtmly2k: the kernel for the server edition is compiled to handle network traffic more efficiently because it's target is as a server but converely it sacrifices things that are importent fir a workstation [23:33] Paddy_EIRE u can have my old pc lol :P [23:33] lol [23:33] Good Nigth [23:34] DasEi1: the onboard vieo memory size is 8mb that is the highest... or i can choose 1 mb [23:34] Help!!!

[23:34] http://paste.ubuntu.com/51078/ [23:35] ah okay then... i sort of get it... that means i'll just stick to the desktop 64bit... oh wait a minute, several kernels? [23:35] but the kernels get updated no? [23:35] bleh [23:35] i should just put vista back [23:36] ahtmly2k: if you are new, you should go with the 32bit generic kernel, as a start [23:36] Hey guys, my database dissapeared recently and need to know what logs would hold errors if my databases got corrupt [23:36] st3ph: I am terribly sorry but I cant seem to make any progress with this. I hope you keep trying and do not stress to much over it... :) [23:36] kebomix: don't forget to save the file after changing it. Then reboot and it should be fixed [23:36] ahtmly2k: 64bit has some gotchas that you will run into if you are running it on a desktop [23:36] wep: yes you should [23:36] whats the best terminal irc client? [23:36] portalblejim: Hello Friend, good night!I am a novice in the Linux world, Ubuntu 7.10 and I use to serious problem that I am not able resolve [23:36] i remember something called like llris [23:36] i just installed xubuntu with hdtv and the dpi settings are all messed up, i tried multiple fixes online but the text is still way too small someone please help me [23:37] here is pic from gparted before i reboot http://server6.theimagehosting.com/image.php?img=Screenshot.ed9.png [23:37] btw HOW do you update the kernel...? lets say like now, i'm using hardy heron and then in the future there's gonna be another version comin up... is it possible to just upgrade...? [23:37] portalblejim: ? [23:37] brb [23:37] ahtmly2k: yes. [23:37] whts 'gotchas'? [23:38] ech0dish: I've heard about "irssi" [23:38] so that means that i'd be able to update the OS version without reinstall right...? [23:38] lima, please excuse me if you have already stated you problem in detail, but it is very hard to solve a problem without knowing details. [23:38] ahtmly2k: flash is harder to get working, thats the only I know of, but I think there are others. [23:38] How do you lengthen the time before the screensaver comes on? [23:38] ah ok [23:38] sileni: use the 8mb (not gb ?!!) option, you got a HP-computer with integrated graphics and a very poor one; is it a laptop or a desk ? [23:39] like maybe that's why my compiz is all messed up [23:39] DasEi1: this is a pc :( [23:39] DasEi1: is it going to fail me ? [23:39] portalbeljim: i am brazilian! [23:39] ryan__: sys > prefs> screensavers [23:39] so does that mean ubuntu got a thing in common with vista? the 64bit versions are imperfect? [23:40] Hey guys, my database dissapeared recently and need to know what logs would hold errors if my databases got corrupt [23:40] Yeah, the troubles with flash on 64bit makes it a non-starter for general desktop use [23:40] back , how can i make sure that swap is used now ? [23:40] hi I'm having a problem playing flash video for example http://vimeo.com/1742868 it plays really choppy and I turned off compiz [23:40] DasEi1: what should i do .. it said mb not gb... [23:40] DasEi1: and should i set it at PCI or integrated onboard [23:40] ahtmly2k: yes, so I just go with 32 bit. I see no reason for 64bit [23:40] DasEi1: for the primary video adapter slot it said PCI ... and then i clicked on the options and it had integrated onboard [23:41] sdwrage: did you look through /var/logs? [23:41] portalblejin:Details my problem and cheat on the site: http://paste.ubuntu.com/51056/, you can see if you can understand? [23:41] Ahtmly2k: the problem with flash on 64bit is an Adobe proprietary issue, NOT a Linux issue [23:41] mjbrooks: what trouble with Flash? hehehe [23:41] lima: can you upgrade to 8.04? [23:41] kebomix: one way is to in terminal type free it will show if any swap is being used [23:42] can you add a "boot cd" entry in GRUB? [23:42] lima, thanks. I will look into your problem. [23:42] Gerinych: no, you need to do that through your bios [23:43] okay, now i really dont get all the hype on 64bit processors... i thought we were migrating... and all the 'claimed' 64bit OS's are ready... [23:43] Hello, can some one tell me why ubuntu can see only two if my three ntfs disks in 'Places'? [23:43] I can mount the missing disk allright, I can even set it up in /etc/fstab and add to book makrks but it is not the same as the other two disk. [23:43] The other two disks are in 'Places' not in the bookmark section, they are absent in /etc/fstab and yet they are working. Is it possible to configure the third disk the same way? [23:43] now is it used ?http://paste.ubuntu.com/51082/ [23:43] danbh_intrepid: alright, then [23:43] oh man... does this mean that i hafta uninstall my 64bit and switch to 32? [23:44] portablejim: Thanks buddy! [23:44] I hope to find a solution [23:44] ahtmly2k no [23:44] ? [23:44] kebomix: yes. You're a proud owner of a mounted swap partition [23:44] hi I'm having a problem playing flash video for example http://vimeo.com/1742868 it plays really choppy and I turned off compiz this laptop is a 1.6ghz [23:44] lima: As a test, you should create a new user on the system and try logging in to Gnome using that. If it works, it will isolate the problem to a configuration issue with the current user profile [23:44] kebomix: also, the partition you said you wanted mounted at /home is being mounted at /media/disk [23:45] someone test out my new number, 8323495765 phreak at will [23:45] ahtmly2k, 64 bit ubuntu is fine and 50x better than MSV [23:45] steve1234, maybe codec prob...? tried dat? [23:45] doing some security testing, go crazy [23:45] kebomix: yes a portion of total allocated swap is being used [23:45] mjbrooks: whats MSV? [23:45] hmn well at leasts it crashes less often [23:45] lima: Also, have you tried asking in #ubuntu-br (your native language channel I believe) [23:46] is there is any one here who can help me to increase fan speed ? [23:46] MSV = that bubble wrapped logo OS [23:46] sileni:you can see at back of your pc if you have onboard only or a pci/agp/pcle -card, too.......... if onl onboard then set it to onboard...desk or lappi ? [23:46] hihihi [23:46] ahtmly2k: it is just using flash player from what I see [23:46] Danbh it's that OS from Redmond I refuse to mention outside of an acronym ;) [23:47] DasEi1: this is a desktop [23:47] lima, How new is your installation? [23:47] steve1234, u mean flv files? [23:47] DasEi1: how do i know if it is only onboard [23:47] * danbh_intrepid head slaps (got it) [23:47] hello all. I need some one to walk me through on how to set up a USB/WIFI in the iwconfig file. [23:47] Heh [23:47] portablejim: Dude, I already wrote another user, but as already told you, I am novice in the Linux world. [23:47] In the user who created, I use my computer normally, but can not access my files on the user problematic [23:47] steve1234, whts ur lptp? vga onboard?

[23:48] ahtmly2k: ok [23:48] danbh_intrepid: I am not sure what to up in the iwconfig file [23:49] DasEi1: i dont know how to determine if it is only onboard.. [23:49] detrix_: well, iwconfig is a command, not a file... Are you sure you cant stick with network-manager? [23:49] lima, so another user can use the computer alright? [23:49] I have d/l a rt2750 driver, and compiled it. just need to know what to put in the iwconfig file. [23:49] portablejim: Sounds like the ~/.gconf/apps/panel/applets/ settings are 'customised' [23:49] hello [23:49] steve1234, wht about other flv's... same prob? [23:50] network manager is not showing any wireless devs [23:50] ahtmly2k: can u link me to one? [23:50] how can I change user session by command line?

[23:50] portalblejim:Yes friend with another user can use it normally [23:51] i think you can do this with sudo user [23:51] steve1234, i dont know... just try any from youtube or sumthin [23:51] Caioout: su [23:52] ahtmly2k: youtube seems ok [23:52] Ilja: what's a bf2142 demo server?

[23:53] <`101gfx> I just deleted my old Ubuntu 8.04 partition and resized my windows partition but when I try and bootup I get a grub error 22 [23:54] yea there is a linux version for the retail game and i want to avoid using a gui because it is slowing my server down i think [23:55] Ilja: Battlefield 2 is on the "Silver list".. check it out here. http://appdb.winehq.org/ [23:55] lima, on the problem user, open up terminal and type "mv ~/.gconf ~/_.gconf" [23:56] Anyone know where i can find a guide for installing LIVES video editor in Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 [23:56] i know but i mean bf2142 Scunizi [23:56] battlefield 2142 [23:56] Ilja: so check the link out.. and see if it's listed.
