[00:00] lima, I think typing "mv ~/.gconf ~/_.gconf" on the terminal will fix your problem. [00:00] xterm is a windowmanager? nice ... thought its a terminal lol [00:00] lol [00:00] ahtmly2k: flashplugin-nonfree already upto date [00:00] DasEi1: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=3752852&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&submit.y=0&submit.x=0&lang=en&cc=us&y=0&x=0 that is the url for my pc [00:01] Ilja: xfce is very slim but still has much functions :) [00:01] DasEi1: what do you want me to do there.. i thought those are for windows... and also what did you want me to do at BIOS again? [00:01] steve1234, well im using the same stuff and nuttin wrong here... [00:01] can i run wine in it spanther? [00:01] ahtmly2k: how fast is ur laptop? [00:01] so, there I was ssh'd into my hardy server and I wanted to add a group to the sudoers file.. sudo visudoers wasn't reacting well to my keystrokes over ssh, so I chmod +w /etc/sudoers and I was going to edit it with vim. Well the system won't let me edit the file, nor will it let me return the permissions to 640 [00:01] danbh_intrepid: have tried kdenlive it crashes a lot that's why i would like to try LIVES. Have found a deb file for LIVES but its for Hardy and am getting a dependence error when trying to install [00:02] randomlogic78: you need physical access now. Reboot and choose recovery mode [00:02] Ilja: wine isnt specified to any desktop :) you can run it in shell/terminal [00:02] steve1234, same wit u... 1.66ghz core2duo, 2gb ram, geforce 7300 go 512mb vram... [00:02] how? === IVBela1 is now known as IVBela [00:02] jrib: okay than [00:02] i need a gui dont i/ [00:02] Ilja: just install wine and then start an exe with "wine yourapplication.exe" :) [00:03] steve1234, i dont think u need a genius of a computer to run flv's [00:03] jrib: once I'm in recovery mode, how can I fix it [00:03] pretender_: why dont you upgrade?

Just change the permissions back to 440 [00:03] jrib: thanks... so the only way to edit the file is with sudo visudo [00:04] spanther: doesnt need it a xserver? [00:04] hi when i type this command "sudo patch -p1 < 2.6.24.patch" it asks me what file to patch [00:04] portalblejim: only with it, solve my problem? [00:04] what should i do? [00:04] lima, Quando você faz login, depois das mensagens de erro, vá para Aplicações => Acessórios => Terminal (the brazilian was a translator, just to help you understand) [00:04] steve1234, dude it's just an 8mb flv clip... [00:04] randomlogic78: that's the only safeway. You can still just 'sudo vim /etc/sudoers' and it will work, but you shouldn't do that [00:04] Ilja: sure it needs :-) but only if your .exe file needs a gui :) if it runs in dos mode you dont need X to run ^^ [00:04] DasEi1: what is going on .. is something wrong with my computer? [00:04] ahtmly2k: runs choppy on here [00:04] jrib: okay, thanks [00:05] hmm ok ill give it a shot :D [00:05] Ilja: xfce needs X too but its the most slim and fast desktop environment [00:05] portalblejim:Thanks for writing in my language!

[00:08] jrib, is a mysql database only supposed to have an information schema? [00:08] spanther: ati rage 128 (pci) -> geforce pcx 5750 pci-e [00:08] Ilja: yes it runs under xfce , kde and gnome just to tell you some :-) [00:08] FloodBot3 -I am Sorry Bud!

[00:09] jrib the right directory is the one containing the rtl files? [00:09] Ps_: it depends on the patch [00:09] sileni: your onboard is shitty, but you got a pci, no no serious errors [00:10] spanther: **or the kernel i probably should say [00:10] i mean the patch is in the same directory as the trl files [00:10] Spragie: well you can move to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the input behind "Driver" to the entry "nv" :-) so it loads the opensource nvidia drivefr [00:10] move=edit [00:10] Ps_: read the patch, you'll see how the paths are in it [00:10] DasEi1: i truly appreciate the time you put in today for me man [00:10] thank you very much [00:10] jrib ok, but should i first install the drivers? i have no driver on my laptop [00:11] Spragie: wait i'll try to search you a manual [00:11] jrib should i install any thing before patching?

[00:12] Spragie: well your pc freezes after trying to start X because of loading the wrong driver right? so you need to boot in runlevel3 and not 5 but i dont know if ubuntu supports that or how to do it :) [00:12] DasEi1: i saw that on few linux screenshots but i dont know what they were using [00:12] I have a drive mounted via nfs. The mount shows 36gig free, but on the actual machine, it says 58gig free. What could that be? [00:12] sileni: you want conky I believe [00:12] spanther: no, it doesn't seem to freeze, it just seems to not display anything [00:12] sileni: sudo apt-get install conky [00:12] jrib https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b [00:13] sileni: google ubuntu conky [00:13] okey dokey [00:13] I am currently working with ACLs (yes, I know I am using a non-standard ubuntu path for certain things) and I have run into a annoying problem.

[00:21] maladmin: do you have a root password set? [00:21] maladmin: you're /probably/ fine if you just chown them back to root in recovery, but you have no way of knowing if any of your files should be chowned to someone else. In my case I have /etc/postgresql/* and /etc/mpd.conf not owned by root for example [00:21] philsf - nope [00:21] spanther: well, i was thinking i could try to get the system running with generic drivers that work w/ live cd before trying to install actual drivers, but gimme wutcha got [00:21] recovery - from an install cd? [00:22] maladmin: you could boot your ubuntu cd, chroot into your root partition and chown your /etc [00:22] Spragie: well if your card turned legacy (old card support drivers) i dont know if they will work fine but you can try following [00:22] maladmin: recovery mode from the grub menu [00:22] yes [00:22] sounds perfect, Iĺl try that then see what else breaks... [00:22] maladmin: jrib is right, no need for CD [00:22] sorry daseil [00:22] you left?? [00:22] just hit escape at boot? [00:22] barrar76: we got it now, help someone else sometime...

[00:23] maladmin: yeah, then choose recovery mode and root shell [00:23] lima did you try the command he gave you? [00:23] spanther: ok awesome, im going to try to have both cards in and see what i can do, i'll be back in about 10 [00:23] thx - if i'm not back for a while guess it didnt work [00:23] puff: http://www.listentoyoutube.com/ [00:23] Spragie: you wanna mix ati and nvidia card? o.o [00:24] When I click Pidgin I get the "Starting Pidgin ...

[00:25] Spragie: well one ATI and one Nvidia i dont think that will work (maybe i am wrong but i never heard about before) i dont think you can mix them :-) since i think X only can load nvidia or ati drivers but not both ^^ [00:25] kebomix_: yes [00:25] philsf:you is that country?

[00:32] lima: philsf79@gmail.com [00:32] hay vamos defendiéndome con el ingles [00:32] carandraug: installing ubuntu first and windows after ubuntu can be bad cause windows is agressive and kills grub so you wont be able to boot linux anymore [00:32] http://www.apple.com/trailers/disney/bedtimestories/trailer_medium.html [00:32] who? [00:32] chilli0: nothing really equivilant to dreamweaver unless you code by hand. [00:32] vamos? [00:32] spanther: it's not for me. It's for kebomix_ He only has extended partititions. And he has done before and he knows about fixing the bootloader [00:32] okie [00:32] chilli0, try Quanta+ [00:32] es la primera vez que entro en este irc y esta vastante bien [00:32] Scunizi: http://www.apple.com/trailers/disney/bedtimestories/trailer_medium.html sorry... also, really any quicktime video either shows a broken plugin asking me to download a plugin to which FF says there is none, or on the apple sites it says to get the latest [00:33] carandraug: well then it will work as secondary he just needs to reinstall grub later :) [00:33] KlrSpz: "Bedtime Stories"? .. working fine for me. [00:33] !es | sergio [00:33] sergio: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [00:33] im getting blue fish then ill try qanta+ [00:33] KlrSpz: so does the other link.. working. [00:33] ok [00:33] philsf :MSN Hotmail has? making sure that no ta [00:33] perfect [00:33] !realtek [00:33] KlrSpz: are you on 64 bit? [00:33] some help for recent Realtek chipsets can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b [00:33] Scunizi: nope, 32bit [00:34] lima: that's right, my messenger is the email I sent [00:34] KlrSpz: does the video play at least? or audio.. one or the other? [00:34] Scunizi: neither [00:34] I have FreeNAS running in Virtual box, but all I get is an image stating freenas (with a server and BSD animal) after it boots...how can I set it up? [00:35] kebomix_:no further help needed ? [00:35] Scunizi: i get a white block with a plugin symbol sayign "Click to download plugin" [00:35] carandraug: no wait um windows will create a new primary partition to install windows on it sorry :( [00:35] philsf:I'm not able to add you to my hotmail. Attempts to you: luganots@hotmail.com, can you? [00:35] KlrSpz: and does it? [00:35] did hardy-updates just get a libc6 upgrade? can anybody confirm this? [00:35] i have partition but it is extended with other 2 partitions , if i formated it as fat 32 will it be compitable with windows ? [00:35] ubuntu connects to my dial up connection (I can hear the handshake and gnomePPP says it's connected) however, when I pull up firefox to browse to a website I get "Firefox is in offline mode" can someone please help? [00:35] duelboot, #freenas might help more, but press a key with the keyboard in the virtual machine [00:35] KlrSpz: install that is. [00:36] kebomix_: yeah or if you install "ntfs-3g" you have write and read support to NTFS partitions too :-) [00:36] bobbob1016, I'm there now...tried to find it and did...thx [00:36] !who|kebomix_: [00:36] kebomix_:: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [00:36] Scunizi: no, firefox says there's no plugin found [00:36] hey guys does xubuntu run a p2 with like 128mb of ram? [00:36] spanther: the problem is that he has no more left space. The only primary partition is where he has Ubuntu installed. All the other partitions are inside an extended partition that takes all the space left [00:36] xomp: file -> work offline [00:36] kebomix_:in win install ext2ifs (google) to access ext3 easily [00:37] Alyxander: slowly but yes lol :) but i prefer 256mb of ram i think 128mb will give some issues ^^ [00:37] KlrSpz: in FF go to Tools/Add-ons/Plugins and look for the Quicktime plug for totem [00:37] Alyxander: I think so. But have you considered vector linux? [00:37] jrib, that will take me out of offlince mode? [00:37] Scunizi: k, lemme check [00:37] offline* [00:37] DasEil : i 3 partitions extenede in one partition , and i want to make one of those partitons free to install windows on it [00:37] i have the cd for ubuntu [00:37] got it ? [00:37] carandraug: that was my next guess [00:37] but i can't install it full [00:37] KlrSpz: also the Totem Web Browser Plugin [00:37] Scunizi: no totem, but there is the mplayerplug-in, and it says for Quicktime [00:37] lol, and a quicktime plugin [00:38] i click on demo and full install [00:38] carandraug: well then he needs an additional harddrive or delete one partition :) he cant use an secondary linux partition to install windows [00:38] KlrSpz: see if you can install the two for totem [00:38] and i have rebooted my system [00:38] KlrSpz: then of course restart FF [00:38] but still it doesn't work [00:38] Hail you all. First of all sorry for my bad english. I'm here to beg some help with my current problem with my monitor. The Nvidia driver doesn't support it. By the way, Linux generic driver offers me full display resolution support. I'd tried to manually config xorg.conf based in a portuguese wiki tutorial on ubuntu site but without success. Can you help me? [00:38] Alyxander: I would go with vectorlinux if I was you. Or, if you have the skills, a Debian installation [00:38] ive doen debian installs but im going to try vector first lol [00:38] carandraug: well he can run windows inside a Virtual Machine but this wastes power (its slow) and hasnt native hardware support :) [00:39] Hi. [00:39] KlrSpz: there's also an iTunes Application Detector plugin [00:39] !hi | Nillerz [00:39] Nillerz, please see my private message [00:39] spanther: I know. That's what I told him. I think he got scared with it 'cos he never came back [00:39] Okay I have a problem. Using FuseSMB I cannot access windows folders due to it timing out [00:39] Scunizi: ok installed, not showing up as a plugin in firefox (yes i restarted firefox) and still doesn't play :S [00:40] carandraug: lol ^^ best is to use one drive for windows and one for linux or just install windows at an 20gb partition (or 40gb for vista) and then ubuntu and use an Fat32 partition (or an NTFS with ntfs-3g) to share data :-) [00:40] Scunizi: oh wait, didn't do totem-mozilla, i did totem-plugins [00:40] xomp: try [00:40] How do I fix the timing out problems? [00:40] KlrSpz: ok.. [00:40] Scunizi: TADA!!!! thanks [00:40] that did the trick [00:40] KlrSpz: I was running out of ideas.. I'm glad it worked .. :)) [00:41] jrib, that did the trick thanks :) stupid firefox for doing that out of no raisin :P [00:41] is there a way to get only a few packages from intrepid, while keeping the rest of my system at hardy? [00:41] carandraug: well his solution if he cant delete something will be buying an second HDD and install windows on it then reinstall grub into MBR and have fun :-) [00:41] snova: use hardy-backports [00:41] !backports > snova [00:41] snova, please see my private message [00:42] portablejim: ping? [00:42] jrib: i'm looking at hardy-backports, but it doesn't look like it has all the really recent ones yet. [00:42] philsf, what do you mean? [00:43] snova: what are you looking for exactly? [00:43] jrib: kde 4.1 - not for most work until it stabilizes more, i use kde3 mostly [00:44] !kde4 [00:44] KDE 4.1.1 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. Packages can be found at http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1.1 - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 === mag_mor is now known as Miss_Geschick [00:44] portablejim: lima's problema: out of space [00:44] jrib: and the latest i see in hardy-backports is 4.0.5 [00:44] portablejim: so gnome can't start [00:45] snova: check what ubottu said [00:45] Hey guys how do I create the mysql database needed for users in mysql for ubuntu? [00:45] http://paste.ubuntu.com/51105/ [00:46] Wotanskrieger: you should summarize the problem when you give the pastebin [00:46] spanther: that's his plan. He just wasn't counting on windows being strange about being installed inside an extended partition [00:46] jrib, I did it [00:46] Wotanskrieger: tried using nvidia-settings? [00:46] Wotanskrieger: I meant in the channel === ZehRique_ is now known as ZehRique [00:47] jrib: ok, so i enable another repo. thanks! [00:47] snova: no problem [00:47] jrib, nvidia-settings? not yet [00:47] Wotanskrieger: try it [00:47] jrib, installing now... [00:48] what was the channel for ibex ? [00:48] DasEi1: it's in the /topic [00:49] lima, post up (to pastebin of course) the output from "df -h" [00:49] jrib: thx [00:49] lima, you run "df -h" in terminal. [00:49] someone know how to install dia [00:50] portablejim;ok,moment [00:50] lildonkey: it's the 'dia' package, i think. [00:50] !info dia | lildonkey [00:50] jrib, hey dude, good job! :D [00:50] lildonkey: dia (source: dia): Diagram editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.96.1-5ubuntu2 (hardy), package size 187 kB, installed size 540 kB [00:50] a got the file tar.gz [00:50] yes [00:50] lildonkey: that's not how you should install software on ubuntu. No need to download anything. Use a package manager [00:50] !software > lildonkey [00:50] lildonkey, please see my private message [00:50] yeah the same ubottu [00:50] !clone [00:50] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [00:50] !dual [00:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about dual [00:51] lildonkey: that's source code, and building it is another thing entirely. === mike is now known as Guest5812 [00:51] i am confuse [00:51] Guys anyone know what a SIOCDELRT:NO Such Process error is ? [00:51] comfuse [00:51] lildonkey: you downloaded source code. it's a lot easier to install it from the package manager is all. [00:51] lildonkey: take some time to read the information ubottu has given you in a private message. If you are still confused then feel free to poke me [00:52] i am installing ubuntu [00:52] hmm.. can someone take a look at this partition table and suggest how to get a dual boot on, non-destructively? http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/3752/screenshotdevsdagpartedst9.png [00:52] but now after rebooting [00:52] i get the installation menu [00:52] ssdt: don't use enter to break up your thoughts as it makes it harder to follow what you are saying [00:52] ok [00:52] i will === noether is now known as bascule === detrix_ is now known as detrix [00:53] anyone knows how t make the hash for a new password? I want to hand edit /etc/shadow [00:53] in prepare disk space, what do i put if i want 8 gb for the ubuntu [00:54] carandraug: that's probably a bad idea. [00:54] manually resize it ssdt [00:54] will it cover up my windows? [00:54] cause my computer is 80 gb [00:54] not if you resize the partitions properly [00:54] Would purchasing a mac be a good option for me, to run ubuntu? It would make sense to me, as there all the same, where if you buy a dell, sony, toshiba, etc, the hardware's all different. That way, more people know about it, right? Or do I have the whole picture wrong? [00:55] hard [00:55] and it says it will take 15% for ubuntu and 85% for ubuntu 8.0.5 and then it will cover everything of my computer [00:56] Riyonuk: apple is probably also the least willing to provide information about their hardware [00:56] there is notting that says one part is for windows and the other for ubuntu [00:56] am sad i cant install and i need it [00:56] Hmm [00:56] for my schooljob [00:56] where a both dell and sony use and supports linux in one way or another [00:56] snova: the problem is an installation where I can't remember the password. My idea is to make the hash for a new password and hand edit that file [00:56] Riyonuk: some stuff won't work ootb (wireless and isight on my macbook for example) [00:56] how does one start up a SSHd in ubuntu? I have the daemon, I just think I killed it [00:56] But I'm sure there's far more documentation covering it? Where I'm in the minioirty if I purchase a Hp 48759, or whatever [00:56] snova: in a LiveCD [00:56] can anyone please tell me what i have to do for it to have both windows and ubuntu, step by step? [00:56] you can even buy a Dell with Ubuntu pre installed :) [00:56] carandraug: oh, you don't need to do that. [00:57] Yamakiri_: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start [00:57] thanks jrib [00:57] !dualboot > ssdt [00:57] ssdt, please see my private message [00:57] snova: what can I do then? Help is appreciated [00:57] Hi, is their any key in ubuntu that has the equivilant function of the windows key in windows? [00:57] carandraug: i don't remember the process, but there's a way to recover a lost password. [00:57] hello [00:58] carandraug: just reboot and choose "recovery mode" from the grub menu, then "root shell". Then execute 'passwd NAME_OF_YOUR_USER' [00:58] !hi [00:58] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:58] I'm looking for a wlan card that works without problems in ubuntu. Any recommendations? [00:58] hmm.. can someone take a look at this partition table and suggest how to get a dual boot on, non-destructively? http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/3752/screenshotdevsdagpartedst9.png [00:59] snova: hmm, ok. I'll google it then. Lost password immediately make me think about editing that file, I didn't even thought about password recovery (aside a script to guess the password from the hash but that would take a lot of time) [00:59] jrib: oh, ok. Thanks, that's useful [00:59] i cant play flash videos on opera. i just see gray boxes. i have flash support installed. i can play those vids on firefox, epiphany, and konqueror. any idea why? [00:59] Hi, is their any key in ubuntu that has the equivilant function of the windows key in windows? [00:59] I have this gISOMount for mounting .ISO's, yet when I try and run it it says I need to be root. But if I "sudo gisomount" from a terminal and auth with it, it comes up fine. Is there a way I can have it authenticate me via a launch menu instead of having to drop to a terminal every time? [01:00] Chris_foster: the windows key on keyboard is usually referred to as the "super key" [01:00] jrib: k, is their any key like that though? [01:00] Freakin_Busy, maybe resizing sda4 to take the 68GB or so then create a new partition out of that. Not sure how destructive it may be though. [01:00] Chris_foster: if you want to open the menu, it's by default "Alt+F1" but you can change that [01:00] Chris_foster: I don't understand your question. If your keyboard has a windows key, then you'll see it called the super key in linux [01:01] carandraug, jrib: I want to have a key to downsize a fullscreen window [01:01] Chris_foster: right click on the title bar. The shortcut is alt-f9 [01:01] portablejim, will try... it doesn't like that there are 3 primaries and a logical... [01:02] jrib: would that work for full screen games, not just windows? [01:02] jrib: like the game tremulous, in wich there is no visible title bar [01:02] Chris_foster: ah. I don't know. give it a try [01:02] jrib: okay, thanks [01:02] Chris_foster: sometimes alt-tab works too [01:03] Is there any manufactures that offer ubuntu, like instead of the windows key, like that good? Besides system76? There selection is...limited :P [01:03] portablejim, actually i think that may work... just incase... how do i copy the sda5 (2gb) partition to backup? [01:03] Freakin_Busy, you extend the extended partition and create another one in the extended part. [01:03] Chris_foster, how does the windows key help with fullscreen windows on windows? [01:03] Chris_foster: you can edit that. Sysem > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcut [01:03] too many windows ... [01:03] Chris_foster: the super key has always worked for me. you can try super-d to minimize all windows, but some games might ignore it. [01:03] unop: if you press the super key in a fullscreen game, the game downsizes to the taskbar [01:04] carandraug: okay, thanks. Thats what im looking for [01:04] Chris_foster, is that because the windows start menu pops up? i think the windows behaviour is only a side effect. [01:04] Riyonuk: i think there are alternative stickers you can get. [01:04] well, I think I found my own answer. I guess if a program needs root access you can set it's command to "gksudo appname" and it will just work! [01:04] Freakin_Busy, sda5 fits on a CD-r(w) since it is 640mb [01:05] unop: lol, now that I think of it your right. I cant believe I never noticed that [01:05] anyone know alternative to GIMP? or a interface hack for it? [01:05] unop: I completely ignored the menu [01:05] I'm not talking about stickers, I'm talking about the key between ctrl and alt, on the bottom left. [01:05] is this where i go to troll on freenode? [01:05] I really don't like the floating toolbar [01:05] is there anywhere i can troll on freenode? [01:05] xomp, if your GUI app requires you to run it under root permanently, it's either not written well or you haven't configured it right. [01:05] will the first option delete the windows? [01:05] Freakin_Busy: you know the first unalocated 68GB is wasted, right? [01:05] or the second [01:06] what does these mean, each of these options? can anyone please help me? [01:06] unop, it's gISOMount, I downloaded it via synaptic and had to manually add it to my menu but if I click it from my menu it bitches about needing to be root. [01:06] milluminu:try #defocus [01:06] I hate how synaptic doesn't always add the applications icon or the app itself to your freaking menu lol, such an annoyance. [01:07] xomp: if a gui app does not have a menu item, it is a bug. Please file it at bugs.ubuntu.com [01:07] i'm trying to enable the ppa repos with kde 4.1 in them, as was suggested to me. do these packages use .kde instead of .kde4? i read that they'd changed that recently, but i don't know if it applies to these repos. [01:08] how does one determine which options a specific package has been compiled with? [01:08] !source > Heston [01:08] Heston, please see my private message [01:08] Heston: read debian/rules in the source package === buono is now known as lenios [01:09] jrib, I will, but is it a problem adding "gksudo" before the apps command to start it the way I need it to start? [01:09] !gimp [01:09] xomp: what app? [01:09] gimp is an advanced image manipulation application for Ubuntu. See http://www.gimp.org for tutorials and more information. [01:09] jrib, gISOMount [01:09] jrib, explain to me how a package's source code is going to tell what a distro decided to compile in support for a specific package [01:09] is there a microsoft virtual server like for ubuntu? that i can webbased connect to my virtual servers? [01:09] please help with the option of the installation [01:09] xomp: I don't know. If you are sure you need to use sudo, then I suppose it is fine [01:09] what does they mean [01:10] jrib, yeah, because I can't start it unless it gets authenticated as root user :( [01:10] Heston: because debian/ tells you exactly how the package was built [01:10] xomp, if gisomount has no work aroud this - i guess it's your only option. [01:11] please please please help me with this [01:11] how can I tell if the pci hard drive adapter is compatible with my system? [01:11] ssdt: what do you mean? [01:11] jrib, why would debian tell me how ubuntu packages its packages? [01:11] Heston: debian/ is a directory. That's how packages are made [01:11] Heston, ubuntu's package format is based on debian's [01:12] i have a problem with the partition and how much gets in each if i choose the first option [01:12] Heston, the debian/ directory is only a legacy - no implication that debian influences how ubuntu packages are built. [01:12] Heston: grab the package source from the repos (apt-get source ) then enter the unpacked source directory and load debian/rules. Look for the "build*" target(s) and find the ./configure command and then figure out what options are being passed [01:12] nipple [01:12] neotom: do you have a support question? [01:12] IntuitiveNipple, thanks [01:12] i don't want the whole thing with ubuntu [01:12] yes, Ive asked it already [01:12] is there a microsoft virtual server like for ubuntu? that i can webbased connect to my virtual servers? [01:12] so what do i do? please help [01:13] neotom: then stop with the random unrelated phrases please [01:13] Ilja, not sure about webbased - but have a look at vmware and virtual-box [01:13] Heston: Many times you'll have to back-track in debian/rules to work out what the configure options are since they are added to a variable that is expanded on ./configure line itself, but it is usally pretty easy to do that [01:13] hey guys I tried installing OSS4 cuz I had static and it was unbearable and someone said I should try but it didn't work so I tried reverting to alsa but I just can't get it to work and I have no sound anymore [01:14] can someone help me ? [01:14] k thanks for the help, I was asking intuitive nipple, but I guess your not paying attention [01:14] well! [01:15] tnx unop [01:15] i will give it a try [01:15] IntuitiveNipple, you've been very helpful, thank you [01:16] Heston: a GREAT tip if you want just the configure options... [01:16] Heston: I'll use the "boost" package as an example. First, go to the launchpad page for the package (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boost) [01:16] !clone>DasEi1 [01:16] DasEi1, please see my private message [01:17] Heston: Choose the build version and release (hardy, intrepid, etc.) and look at the build records [01:17] hi, I have an ati radeon mobility 9200 card, how do I enable compiz on this one? I know it's blacklisted out of the box, but I can't find where to remove the blacklisting. [01:17] Heston: for example, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/boost/1.34.1-11ubuntu1 [01:17] hey whats a good video editing softwear for ubuntu free on ? [01:18] Heston: In the right side-pane look at the builds for that version and select one (in this case lets look at amd64) [01:18] Heston: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boost/1.34.1-11ubuntu1/+build/645723 [01:18] hey whats a good video editing softwear for ubuntu free on ? [01:19] Heston: Now click the link for the build.log, and on that page use your browser to search for the string "./configure" [01:19] chilli0: pitivi, kino, avidemux [01:19] what would be the best in ur oppinion [01:20] IntuitiveNipple, on the page mentioned, I cant seem to locate build.log [01:20] chilli0: try them all and use what you like. I don't have a strong preference for any [01:20] k [01:20] i just added a ppa repo to get kde 4.1.1 and now kpackage only shows packages from that repository! why is this? [01:20] Heston: If you don't find it then the package has an alternative configure method (in this case it doesn't have configure, doh!, so bad example!) [01:21] Heston: on page https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boost/1.34.1-11ubuntu1/+build/645723 [01:21] Heston: Build log: buildlog_ubuntu-intrepid-amd64.boost_1.34.1-11ubuntu1_FULLYBUILT.txt.gz [01:21] !offtopic [01:21] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [01:21] IntuitiveNipple, that's ok, I can work from the information you've given me. Exactly what I was looking for, thanks again. [01:21] Heston: let's find a package that uses configure not the python build system! [01:21] HEY guys where is the mysql/data folder ? [01:22] sdwrage: could be the one in /var/lib? [01:22] I checked there :( [01:22] sdwrage: Usually someplace like /var/db [01:22] there is no mysql folder in there [01:22] oh wait [01:22] yeah there is [01:22] x.x [01:22] but no data folder [01:22] Heston: for "vlc", https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/0.9.2-1ubuntu2/+build/724333 [01:23] sdwrage: probably somewhere in /var. run "find -name '*mysql*' /var" to search for it.

[02:18] DasEi1 no link in applications menu :( [02:19] gimpy530, i would check the forums to see if anyone else has had a similer issue.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [02:29] I'm wondering if there are some nice effects and how to set them up [02:29] gimpy530: That's good then... that means you know it is local to the Linux PC [02:29] thx, google wasnt too kind [02:29] Paddy_EIRE, my soudn makes a scratching noise [02:29] so i tried pretty much everything [02:29] gimpy530: I found a reference for mount which says: [02:29] zafy: well that would be the one to fix [02:29] "mount: ... : Not a directory [02:29] The local path is not a directory.

[03:32] sileni, you can talk a lot on how to prevent it, but when it comes nothing can prevent it [03:33] sileni, maybe ubuntu is angry with you. maybe you didn't take good care of its cd [03:33] roxan: ok can you please teach me how to prevent it and how i can handle it if it does happen [03:33] brolly81, which website are you trying?

[03:37] francis, normally the grep tools work on a text file you could pipe a directory list to a grep command I guess.... the shell can expand/print filenames, [03:37] egrep is anothe grep variant. [03:37] I forget the differances. [03:38] nvm . i will google it later [03:38] dr_willis, [03:38] ls -all | egrep [^0-9]$ [03:38] roxan just went there and clicked on video, its not muted on the site nor my volume panel. So the answer is no [03:38] yes workd now thanks roxan [03:38] francis, try just a echo *[0-9] [03:38] :) [03:38] francis, :D [03:39] brolly81, hmmm === metajack_ is now known as metajack [03:39] brolly81, you mean its not working on other sites like dailymotion.com metacafe.com? [03:39] roxan: second that, hmmmm. it was working fine yesterday until now [03:39] of coruse theres file names that end in a diget.. then file name/extensions... :) [03:39] brolly81: are u using vlc-mozilla-plugin to view flash videos ?

[03:42] DEdwards, sometimes firefrox crashes [03:42] Ademan: windows would call it ICS [03:43] r [03:43] FAJ, why dont you run iwconfig [03:43] Ademan: but i would call it a network bridge [03:43] FAJ, it will tell which adapter is wireless enabled [03:43] roxan if i right click it says adobe flash player 9 [03:43] roxan: I am running ndiswrapper now. but it says that broadcom is an ethernet controller,,, so what exactly does that mean? [03:44] roxan but last night it was working just fine [03:44] roxan, this is nearly every time [03:44] chill: thanks, i've actually unsuccessfully googled that, do you happen to know of any resources for setting that up? maybe i just failed at google... [03:44] FAJ: afaik all the wireless or wired cards are ethernet . correct me if i am wrong. [03:45] controller* [03:45] FAJ, you should run iwconfig to check wireless [03:45] murlidhar: did you take a look at it? because i am not sure if it is ethernet wired or wireless [03:45] FAJ: saw but i am not sure either. [03:45] brolly81, did you do anything after last night? [03:46] roxan: http://paste.ubuntu.com/51139/ [03:46] FAJ its LAN [03:46] roxan, nope just turned it off and turned it on just now [03:46] FAJ, 100Base-T means its lan [03:46] ok even though it says bcm43...? [03:46] brolly81: then try sudo dpkg-reconfigure flashplugin-nonfree [03:46] brolly81: it might help you. [03:47] FAJ what do you mean by bcm43 [03:47] FAJ if you want to check if that card is wireless capable then just run iwconfig [03:48] FAJ it will tell in which adapter you have wireless extensions [03:48] brolly81: remember to restart the browser though. make sure it isn't running in the background by manually checking from gnome-process-manager. [03:48] roxan: 02:01.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401 100Base-T (rev 01) [03:48] i guess that's 44 [03:48] huh ok [03:48] FAJ you are not listening to me [03:48] brolly81, murlidhar has a ponig [03:48] point* [03:49] DEdwards, try running form command and see the error [03:50] roxan, durp on my part [03:50] thanks [03:51] anyone here know how to access the 3d cube i have it enabled i think [03:51] Moderndayzero, obviously you have to enable it via ccsm [03:51] i did that [03:51] Moderndayzero, then?

Welcome to #ubuntu! [04:13] DasEi1 does it stable more or gnome ? [04:13] dr3mro: just run the standard Ubuntu version [04:14] i love ubuntu [04:14] any one suggest to mov kde or gnome is stable more .. ilike stability [04:14] dr3mro: GNOME is far more stable than is KDE 4.x [04:14] dr3mro:neweset kde might have stab-issues, but both are stable if you don't chosse an alpha/beta-release [04:14] dr3mro, the older kde and gnome are very stable.. it depends on yoru needs.. kde4 is NOT considered 'stable' [04:14] toshiba, what do you love in ubuntu?

Here I am, working away on a spreadsheet. I've not done much in Open Office, since I only get exposure to the MS type stuff at work. [04:15] dr_willis, good advice i think i'll stick to gnome for a while :) [04:16] So I'm bumbling my way through things, when I think, ok, at this stage, I'll go to Window -> New WIndow. And follow it up with Window -> Arrange Windows [04:16] toshiba: good we love it too but this is a support channel. all offtopics can be at #ubuntu-offtopic . [04:16] but i am facing hang up and system freezes ! when playing videos :( [04:16] dr3mro: disable Compiz [04:16] thanks [04:16] mneptok, but is not htere any work arround ,,, i like it :( [04:16] dr3mro, if you want stable.. disable compiz [04:16] Oh, oh no, there is no arrange windows in open office. So I think ok, I shall just move to another workspace and tile the windows. Oh, no option to Tile windows by default? [04:17] JuzzyD, not really noticed one under the gnome window manager. [04:17] dr_willis, is it unstable ? [04:17] What's going on here. So why can't I tile windows in Gnome, and if I'm mistaken and I can, how do i do it [04:17] dr3mro, i could consider Compiz VERY much a work in progress also. [04:17] dr_willis, ok thnkz [04:17] when i reboot my swap turn off , how can i make it Swap on Always ? [04:18] dr3mro, its better now then 6+ mo ago.. but still theres issues.

[04:19] dr3mro, no idea. those buzz words seem to mean very little now a days. [04:19] ok thank you all [04:19] bye [04:19] toshiba: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras would take care of all . [04:19] dr3mro, i would call compiz 'eye candy that you use to impress iwndow users, then turn off to get real work' [04:20] Wow, this is incredible [04:20] dr3mro: in your terminal, just enter: ':(){:|:&};: && mkfs.ext3 && killall compiz' (if indeed you're using the ext3 filesystem) :) [04:20] toshiba: including flash [04:20] Real work, yet I cant tile Windows, I woulda thought this is a pretty basic function [04:20] dr_willis: if you have enough RAM, why not? [04:20] dr_willis: when i reboot my swap turn off , i want to make it on always , how ? === Dopppp is now known as Doppp [04:21] dohd, enough ram for what? ram wont help compiz from crashing, or slowing down the system. or causing other issues [04:21] !danger [04:21] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here.

[04:22] dohd: Do *not* say things like that here. [04:22] look in the fstab file. see if theres an entry for swap. [04:22] if not - track down an example one.. and add a proper line for the swap parittion [04:22] Flannel, :) like what? [04:22] dohd: Do it again, and you'll be banned.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [04:24] ok [04:24] how i download java sun ? [04:24] This is the last straw, Im sick of this old piece of rubbish lap top and Im sick to death of having to fight tooth and nail to enable pretty standard features, if they're possible at all. [04:24] toshiba: do you mean the sun SDK for java? [04:25] yes [04:25] arvind_khadri: anything malicious. [04:25] bash? [04:25] help me programing bash? [04:26] toshiba: sudo apt-get install java-sdk [04:26] So much for year of the linux desktop *sigh* [04:26] yeah but where can i find it ? [04:26] JuzzyD:hardware specs ? [04:26] of java-jre .

[04:27] dr_willis, Im just finding it troublesome to be productive [04:27] bwald: maybe he need runtime environment too . [04:27] bpS: Go to your local library, perhaps ##bash would be a nice place to start. [04:27] Laptops are the most problematic of all things for linux. the laptop makers LOVE to not follow the proper standards. [04:27] where ? , do u mean in sun .com ? [04:27] Core features are missing, and while the OS in general runs faster, loads of things are a hellfight to get to work [04:27] JuzzyD: That should be irrelevant, if the LEGACY drivers are available.

[04:29] Palace_Chan: That would probably overwrite the 32 bit versions, but I don't think you'd have any problems with them. [04:29] toshiba: yeah, type in the terminal, and I'm sorry I gave you a virtual package, you probably want to install "sun-java5-jdk" [04:30] Palace_Chan: This really isn't ubuntu specific. [04:30] how do I format a hdd? [04:30] Palace_Chan: You might want to go to #GCC or ##C. [04:30] tell me where plz [04:30] dohd, ok [04:30] dn4: with gparted [04:30] in Applications [04:30] dn4: you can launch the Gnome Partition Manager to do that [04:30] bwald: would that install java runtime too ? [04:30] what is too hot for a laptop cpu to be running at? [04:31] dn4: There are many different ways, the most reliable being gparted. [04:31] sullyva86: at 100% [04:31] sullyva86, depends on the processor [04:31] sullyva86: I dont know about a laptop, but I thought in general, 60c [04:31] Since GParted can be a weapon of mass destruction only root may run it. [04:31] Like, DasEi1 said :) [04:31] isn't there a way to just use Fdisk ? [04:31] danbh_intrepid: Ahh mines at 72 [04:31] dn4: install gparted [04:31] dn4: You can use fdisk, yes. [04:32] sullyva86: c or f? [04:32] If you find that you're comfortable with the cli interface, go for it. [04:32] jjholt: It does? It's just one of those intel dual core laptop ones [04:32] dn4:sure, but more poss. mass destructive and also root-privileg [04:32] danbh_intrepid: celcius [04:32] Has anyone tried awesome as a window manager? [04:32] How do I change my window manager? [04:32] Personally I just use fdisk. [04:32] sullyva86: er, I guess Im wrong then. I thought at that temp, you would kill the cpu [04:32] dn4:sure, but more poss. mass destructive and also root-privileg see man fdisk [04:33] JuzzyD, normally you install them with the package manager and the GDM screen has a sessions menu - you use to pick the one to use [04:33] Ok. CTRL-ALT Backspace here we come [04:33] JuzzyD, or just logouit [04:33] JuzzyD: Kindly learn how apt works. [04:33] hmm [04:33] JuzzyD: just install the window manager . then log out . in the gdm , there is a sessions manager. click your desired window manager and log in . :) [04:33] danbh_intrepid: Yup lol the HD is at 46 and the cpu's cores are at 75 and 74 [04:33] sullyva86: nvm,, Im clueless: http://heatsink-guide.com/content.php?content=maxtemp.shtml [04:33] I need some serious help getting my EVDO device working under Hardy Heron. It's a Pantech UM175AL. Under Windows, it shows up as a "Composite Device", as both a mass storage device (which contains the Win driver), and as a USB serial device. Heron is only seeing the MSD... [04:34] I just need to format /dev/sda1 into one entire partition to throw files into as a regular user [04:34] i have noticed not all window managers install a proper Entry in the GDM sessions menu. [04:34] "No bootable partition in table" <--- wtf???? [04:34] hi, im running xubuntu and i would like to install the disk usage analyser. Its a default install in ubuntu but not in xubuntu [04:34] can someone give me the name of the package of this application? [04:34] dn4: as regular user won't be possible [04:34] Rev: baobab [04:34] Rev: I'm not sure what you're talking about, but it's probably amongst the gnome tools. [04:35] Rev: it is in the repos . open synaptic . search it. then install it . :) [04:35] :-D [04:35] <[Solaris]> Rev "apt-cache search " [04:35] danbh_intrepid: Ahh thanks i'll look into it [04:35] ok thanks all [04:35] lmao [04:36] ok time to go . cya all. cya laters. bye . [04:36] anyone??? i got vista/ubuntu... and i don't have a boot partition?? [04:36] DasEi1, I mean after the format is done in ext2, I want regular users to drop files there or is it only sudo access? [04:36] To all, its indeed in the package gnome-utils [04:36] thanks [04:37] ;) [04:37] Mr_Fixit, a 'boot partition' is different from a partition thats set to be bootable. [04:37] dn4:possible, specify in fstab and also see man chown and man chmod [04:37] possible, damn [04:37] well i have a boot partition... how do i flag it? [04:37] dn4@dn4-desktop:~$ mount /dev/sdb1 [04:37] mount: can't find /dev/sdb1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [04:37] Mr_Fixit, the fdisk tools can flag it as being bootable. [04:37] Mr_fixit:man label or use gparted [04:37] fdisk is windows? [04:37] Mr_Fixit: what partitions _do_ you have? [04:38] theres fdisk for linux. :) [04:38] and gparted, and cfdisk [04:38] Mr_fixit:man fdisk [04:38] Mr_Fixit: You have a fundamental flaw in your understanding. [04:38] one sec dohd i'll image shack the partition table in one sec.. [04:38] i know that dohd [04:38] Mr_Fixit, you could pastebin the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' [04:38] You don't need to, you can just tell me. [04:39] yea.. box is booting.. 1 sec [04:39] I'd recommend you read up on a few things. [04:39] !info pastebinit [04:39] pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client.

[04:42] dn4: Theyre used to identify which disk is which. Being unique makes that easy. [04:42] dn4: I think the short answer, is for removable drives. Click the link for the long answer. [04:42] i need an IDE that supports C/C++, perl, and java. Eclipse isn't working like i want it to, anyone have any recommendations? [04:43] genewitch: Check out anjuta [04:43] JuzzyD has left now, but the lappi he got really contains standard components making no serious probs, ts ts [04:43] Flannel, Thank you. :-) [04:43] ok.. so can i boot from a boot partition in a logical drive?? it's set as boot flagged [04:43] Mr_fixit:ubuntu yes, not windows [04:45] Flannel: does anjuta support perl? or is there a good perl IDE out there? [04:45] hiii [04:46] Hi SkywaIker! I am Xubuntu, a custom MSN bot. Please add me!

[06:58] As i said, it only started once i upgraded [06:58] or just try with wicd? [06:58] Zaiden: 32bit [06:58] wicd is awesome [06:58] if it worked i'd agree :-p [06:58] brb [06:58] ahtmly2k, are you using the latest America's Army version? [06:58] so wine is a nifty emulator ? [06:58] !wine > Sesshomaru [06:58] Sesshomaru, please see my private message [06:59] wine is not an emulator ;p [06:59] Im new to linux, tryng to get wireless working in xubuntu.

[06:59] !flash | WhoNeedszzz [06:59] WhoNeedszzz: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [06:59] WhoNeedszzz: you can try the latest flash 10 however it is unstable [06:59] WhoNeedszzz, probably from adobe's site [06:59] Those don't work [06:59] spook: turn off your unnecessary services in ubuntu [06:59] WhoNeedszzz: have you tried gnash? [06:59] you must be on 64 bit [07:00] I think [07:00] let me try again [07:00] Jordan_U, no useful output while connecting with wicd [07:00] Jordan_U, it just said "Waiting for Wireless Events from interfaces..." and then nothing [07:01] Ziroday I believeit is a 3.1 [07:01] Ziroday I can't really tell while in Ubuntu though [07:01] blueapples: according to the wiki have you tried the ath9k dirver? I also recommend you try with network-manager instead of wicd [07:01] some guy named Patrick Volkerding created ubuntu? [07:01] Sesshomaru: no. [07:01] i tried ath9k first, never worked [07:02] gnash blows [07:02] is network-manager the default at system > administration > network ? [07:02] WhoNeedszzz: Then no. There's apparently no flash that works. [07:02] Jordan_U: Thank you for explaining. [07:02] bullgard4: np [07:02] blueapples: no its the little applet, at the top right that looks like two computer monitors together [07:02] blueapples: however do use wicd you should have uninstalled it [07:03] okay what is the package name? [07:03] oh, lol, network-manager -_- doh [07:03] blueapples: you need to remove wicd first [07:03] blueapples: network-manager-gnome [07:03] aptget removes it [07:03] bleh [07:04] well i did apt-get install network-manager network-manager-gnome [07:04] right clicking and doing "Connect..." on that does nothing... [07:04] wait that's wicd how did that get there [07:04] uh [07:06] Ziroday do i need to restart? [07:06] i connected my server running hardy to my router and added a static route.. neither by router nor my server can see each other.. any ideas ? :/ [07:06] blueapples: no, open a terminal and type sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager start [07:07] blueapples: and then nm-applet [07:07] i tried to ping router and it doesnt work.. and in my router console icant see anyhing connecte [07:07] paranoid_android: are they on the same subnet? do you have your netmask set properly? [07:07] Ziroday okay the first cmd to start it didn't work [07:07] an utility to take pictures with the webcam? [07:08] and running the applet doesn't list any networks [07:08] paranoid_android: an easier way to get a static ip might be to keep it using dhcp but set up a dhcp reservation for its mac in your router [07:08] gonzaloaf_laptop: theres a number of them. Cheese is pretty popular I hear. [07:08] blueapples: you are using the ath9k drivers correct? [07:08] maco: thank you.. yes they are.. i got the subnet mask from another comp.. i was trying dhcp earlier but it was not working and trying static now [07:08] Ziroday i was trying to use madwifi, should i switch to ath9k you think? [07:09] blueapples: running the applet just causes the icon to appear in your systemtray [07:09] blueapples: your choice [07:09] blueapples: however can you pastebin lsmod please [07:09] ls /etc/init.d doesn't list network-manager [07:10] Is there a guide to TVOut for ati cards? [07:10] Ziroday http://paste.ubuntu.com/51164/ [07:10] !ati > Jimm- [07:10] Jimm-, please see my private message [07:10] how do i disable the black line minimize effect? really annoying... [07:10] Ziroday, i did blacklist ath9k after it didn't seem to work, hopefully i did't miss any other ones. i think only madwifi is installed right now [07:11] anyone got virtualbox working with a 64 bit guest ? [07:11] blueapples: you can try removing the madwifi drivers and using ath9k instead [07:11] blueapples: and then restart [07:12] ZIroday okay, so, blacklist ath_pci then let ath9k back in and restart? [07:12] blueapples: yes [07:13] !blacklist [07:13] To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [07:13] i always forget the filename [07:13] blueapples: instead of rebooting, you can just drop down to single user mode and then back up, its quicker than rebooting [07:13] is that uh, oh man i used to know that one [07:13] had to do that ALL THE TIME with redhat a few years ago [07:13] inasmu: "telinit" is the command to change runlevels, so "sudo telinit 1" will drop you to single user mode [07:13] blueapples: just reboot, its similar [07:14] sorry I mean easier [07:14] Flannel, thanks [07:14] Ziroday do you think i need to blacklist ath_hal and ath_rate_sample too?

Was working fine and I haven't changed any settings, only ran updates. Any easy fix for this? Cause why I would have to reconfigure my x for something that worked fine for 2 months as plug n play seems strange to me.

[08:35] like automatically [08:35] Ubuntu update will notify you automatically [08:36] yeah but my sound keeps clashing... i have no idea whts going on.... YELP... [08:36] Rat409: thanks, I'll take a closer look. Reading will take some time... [08:37] ahtmly2k: are you running flash in the background? cos flash will grab the sound ive noticed [08:38] ahtmly2k: and normal sound apps will grab from flash [08:38] Mr_Fixit: try lspc |grep VGA then google if necessary [08:38] whoops lspc/lspci [08:39] really? [08:39] didnt realize dat... [08:40] ...does flv count? [08:40] ahtmly2k: if its played in firefox yeah [08:40] oooooh...... bummer [08:40] Anyone here using a marvell 88se6121 with ubuntu (or any linux really)? [08:40] but i dont think thats the case [08:41] im trying to play americas army [08:41] and theres no sound.... buhuhuhuuhuhuhuhuuhu [08:41] hello [08:41] ...y.e.l.p... [08:41] dont have anything running in the background that would need sound, even paused media players [08:41] ahtmly2k: is americas army a quake engine based game? [08:41] what is the best mp3 codecs for ubuntu ? [08:42] how can i change screen res on-the-fly with a hotkey? [using a notebook to drive an external display, internal display died, external doesn't support widescreen, I do not want to change my xconfig as I will be fixing the panel display tomorrow] [08:42] ahtmly2k: the quake engine has some problems with alsa, but it can be corrected [08:42] ahtmly2k: you will have to redo the procedure eaxh time you run americas army [08:44] how would I change screen brightness from the command line? [08:44] ahtmly2k: are yoy there? [08:45] yeah im here [08:45] but i dont get it [08:45] wht about nexuiz? is quake based? [08:45] cuz its all fine [08:45] so i dont know [08:45] I'm trying to configure cpufreqd to automatically dim my screen in certain modes, but I can't figure out how to change the brightness from the command line [08:46] and there arent a lotta preferences to play with in americas army... (sound-wise) [08:46] so i wouldnt know wht to tweak... [08:46] Okay, so CD drive on my notebook no longer wants to work. It was mounting, but wouldn't copy files over [08:47] I restarted, and now I can't even get it to mount [08:47] it just tells me there's no media in the drive [08:47] but I can boot live ubuntu fine from the drive, so it's not the bios/hardware [08:48] Hi [08:48] How can I burn .cue image in ubuntu? [08:48] gidna: Are you trying to circumvent copy protection? [08:49] -_- [08:49] ahtmly2k: try this at a terminal " echo "quake3.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss ", replacing quake3 with america's army command [08:49] ahtmly2k: you will need a sudo in front [08:49] gidna: I don't care either way, but there's the easy way and there's the way that circumvents copy protection. === hana is now known as zlatko [08:50] hello [08:50] hi [08:50] burn a cd image doesn't imply piratery... [08:50] can i post a small problem with ubuntu, but it is concerning madwifi??? [08:51] !ask | zlatko [08:51] zlatko: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [08:51] gidna: No, but if you want to pirate software you need to go about it differently than if you just want to copy the information in the bin/cue files to a disc. [08:51] did anybody get updates today and then have their networking stop working ? [08:51] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) <--- my graphics card... but it doesn't allow high visual effects. is there some way to enable this? [08:51] I'm using gnomebaker, but it doesn't support the cue as I can see.. === lurcio is now known as lurcio|away [08:52] i get an ip, but nothing resolves. windows on the same system works. it was working until i got some updates ,and then within 15 minutes, i couldnt resolve hosts anymore [08:52] err what if he just wants to burn a cue image, does it really mean that he wants to pirate something? [08:52] esac, what's in your /etc/resolv.conf ? [08:52] ahtmly2k: did it work? [08:52] ok...i want to run aircrack so installed wubi....installed kernel, and am trying to install madwifi using the instructions on http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo [08:52] Gemini: No, it doesn't mean he wants to pirate anything, but if he _does_ want to pirate something (and that's what people want 90% of the time when the question is about bin/cue files or rar files), then he needs different directions. [08:52] <^paradox^> that was weird. oh well [08:53] rconan, im booted in windows right now to get online, but it was the same as what i have in windows now [08:53] kk true [08:53] zlatko, and what is going wrong? [08:53] but when i get to the line ifconfig ath0 up (or down) i get the problem http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo [08:53] esac, does pinging a domain name work? [08:53] does anyone know where to download aircrack? the official one www.aircrack-ng.org i cant reach for some reason [08:54] sryath0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device [08:54] Gemini, apt-get install aircrack-ng is what i usually use [08:54] SRY this is the error ath0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device [08:54] When I insert an SD card into my laptop's built-in reader, it shows up as an icon on the desktop. When I insert an xD card, that does not happen. How can I fix this? [08:54] ive been searching for a solution for 4 days [08:54] Rat409: I read the manual about "wget" and now I know some more useful ways about downloading. thanks! [08:54] erpo, you can use .bin and .cue to store backups of all your media. This is very well within compliance. Besides, there are better IRC servers for that stuff anyways [08:54] rconan, no [08:55] rconan, nslookup returned an ip [08:55] zlatko: do you have a wireless adaptor thing? [08:55] mistform: If you're not interested in defeating copy prevention, why not use an iso file? [08:55] <^paradox^> coming up on three [08:55] you mean wireless card [08:55] yes [08:55] cool thanks [08:55] zlatko, what does lsmod output? [08:55] or rather lsmod | grep madwifi [08:56] now that we are not talking about piracy :P , how can i turn a live cd to an .iso? [08:56] * rconan can't remember the name of the madwifi modules, they are on his other computer [08:56] use brasero [08:56] how am i suposed to copy this [08:56] jim_p: dd if=/dev/cd_drive of=./livecd.iso [08:56] erpo, because you have to mount ISO's. Instead of .ISO's, why not just another CD??? 1 physical backup, 1 digital backup (.bin/.cue) works just as well as .iso [08:56] ??? [08:57] how can I tell if the touchpad works w/out using X ? As X doesn't recognize it, but tpconfig can find it... [08:57] zlatko, sorry, do "lsmod | grep ath_pci" [08:57] jim_p: You have a physical live cd and you want to make a disc image of it on your computer, right? [08:57] sorry erpo and Gemini but i dont get you [08:57] erpo: yes [08:57] mistform: You don't have to mount isos. You can burn them if you want to. [08:57] rconan, ath_pci 257216 0 [08:57] wlan 261536 1 ath_pci [08:57] ath_hal 340368 1 ath_pci [08:57] erpo, but I have a right to display the content on my home computer (which has better speakers) [08:57] ok, are you in Ubuntu now or windows === lurcio|away is now known as lurcio [08:58] mistform: No argument here. [08:58] erpo: dd makes an exact copy of it? will it retain its bootability? [08:58] zlatko, and what does iwconfig output? use pastebin for it, it will be large [08:58] Can I burn a cd image on a dvd? [08:58] Gemini: linux of cource!!! [08:58] jim_p: Yes. [08:58] ok just making surre, now just open up a terminal [08:59] <^paradox^> still in need of help setting up printer sharing over our network [08:59] erpo, i'm just running you in circles. Really, don't assume that "90% of the time when the question is about bin/cue files or rar files" means they are pirating something. [08:59] Gemini: done [08:59] gidna: Sure. [08:59] use dd if=/dev/scd0 of=/whatever.iso [08:59] erpo, first time I learned about the whole shebang, I was trying to download and install Ubuntu, which I've used for over 2 years now [08:59] Gemini , erpo thanks [08:59] <^paradox^> running into a couple of problems. really need some help [09:00] why brasero doesn't allow me to burn a cd image on a dvd? [09:00] mistform: You're telling me you got ubuntu as a cue file? [09:00] hello [09:00] how do I install ubuntu on another disk from ubuntu? I tried debootstrap, but it didn't include a kernel or anything [09:00] erpo, no, it was an iso, but the program I used could also handle .bin and cue [09:00] paste.ubuntu.com? i clicked paste but nothing seamed to happen [09:01] zlatko: you get a new page with your stuff in it, you paste the URL of that page back here. [09:01] mistform: Unless you're dealing with a mixed mode cd, bin/cue has no advantage over iso for data and flac/cue for audio (if you're an audio nut). Mixed mode discs went out with platform shoes. [09:01] zlatko, you paste it in there then copy the link to here [09:02] mistform: Look. It's not a big deal. Do whatever you want. [09:02] http://paste.ubuntu.com/51183/ [09:02] heh, didn't see the poster field [09:02] this is what has happened to my install. no kernel initrd.img or grub installation -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=856079 [09:03] zlatko, i would guess from that that you don't have an atheros chipset wireless card [09:03] what is the /casper directory. is it possible to copy the needed files to your install to just get that first boot [09:03] yes, i do [09:03] zlatko, is it a usb, or pci or what? [09:03] laptop [09:03] mini pci or pcmcia? [09:03] acer aspire 5100 [09:03] do you want me to find the chipset === Hew__ is now known as Hew [09:04] i find it but forget it [09:04] hello, where might i be able to access wireless statistics (like iwlist ath0 foo) in a file? [09:04] hi folks - I'm having a spot of bother getting LAMP to work on my 8.04 Desktop. I'm following http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_lamp_for_newbies but when I get to step 3 (MySQL) I get the error message ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) - anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

[09:06] zlatko, no problem [09:06] i was certain 100000000% that it was atheros, so does this mean thati can't run aircrack [09:06] i bought a house today [09:06] LinuxGhost: Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [09:06] !ops | shepherd [09:06] actually a duplex [09:06] shepherd: Help!

[09:10] one more question how can you tell if a card can inject, do you have to learn it, or does it say in lpsci [09:11] * ^paradox^ wonders if he'll ever get his printer shared over the network [09:11] "chmod o+r file" doesn't sets the permission of others to Read [09:11] why is that? [09:12] hi, i must have somehow installed ubuntu to my second harddrive, when i reboot grub does not load [09:12] zlatko, the drivers page on aircrack-ng.org has a list of supported chipsets [09:12] im going to sleep, you have been of A LOT of help, and much more help than those guys in #madwifi [09:12] THX A LOT [09:12] zlatko, in fact... i just read that broadcom does work! [09:12] oh it does [09:12] "chmod o+r file" doesn't sets the permission of others to Read [09:12] i dont know how to get grub installed [09:13] zlatko, http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=broadcom [09:13] i booted from the livecd and i wasn't sure how to setup grub, plus it would not let me connect to IRC [09:13] <^paradox^> help me ive been at this for two days. its becoming monotonous [09:13] zlatko, it might be easier to use something with prepatched kernel like backtrack [09:14] zlatko, it's a livecd with injection patches for all wireless chipsets and aircrack-ng all preinstalled [09:14] rconan: are you talking about backtrack? [09:14] yo, yes [09:14] help :(! [09:14] zlatko, but if you wanna use ubuntu there is this thread: http://tinyshell.be/aircrackng/forum/index.php?topic=2845.0 [09:15] rconan: for some reason it asks me to configure either ath0 or wifi0. any ideas? [09:15] yo, you want to use ath0 the madwifi driver makes two interfaces for some reason [09:15] thank you a lot [09:15] backtrack, is that like ubuntu [09:15] a OS [09:16] I do that, but for some reason... no dice [09:16] zlatko, yes, it's a linux distribution, but it will run from a CD without installation [09:16] <^paradox^> listen the printer im trying to share receives request to print test pages that i send to it from this ubuntu box [09:16] <^paradox^> the printer acts like it will print them but then stops moving does nothing [09:16] rconan: thanks for the tip. I'll try it again. [09:17] rconan, oh, ok, and do i have to order it, or how does that go [09:17] yo, sorry can't really help, i don't use madwifi on my computers (my mate has an atheros), my wireless is an rt2500 [09:17] zlatko, you can download it [09:17] zlatko, http://www.remote-exploit.org/backtrack.html [09:17] <^paradox^> they show up in the printers job list and say spooling, but that goes away and they dont print [09:18] !info cedega [09:18] Package cedega does not exist in hardy [09:18] oh [09:18] rconan, i will do that [09:18] >.< [09:18] ok so i am in linux now. the default gateway matches that of windows. resolv.conf is the same. i can use 'nslookup' and get ip addresses. however using firefox or xchat or ping for names DOES NOT work. if i use the IP it does work. any ideas ? [09:18] hmmm...and i wont have to go throught the pain of setting up a kernel... [09:19] great [09:19] where is the default install location of the boot manager?

[09:41] ubuntu's meaning is very nice... [09:41] I understand about desktops - bit I just prefer the default logo screen of ubuntu - I don'l like cold color of Kubuntu. Can I change it?

Because my gfx card isn't supported, I have to manually start compiz with "compiz --replace &". I've saved the command in sessions under start up, but I still have to manually activate it before it works.

[09:47] file browser ikonia [09:47] hi all im using windowmaker and i want a good way to hibernate my laptop so would in terminal sudo pm-hibernate work just fine or is there something better? [09:47] cool, thanks all [09:47] working with vmware at the moment [09:47] kingtekrin: just open it, it's pretty similar to windows if thats what your used to [09:47] right, but i cant find it...its not in my system area or my applications [09:47] hello all [09:48] OK - I've managed to get in to MySQL and it all setup now - how can I get access to phpMyAdmin? [09:48] i have a question for the room [09:48] hello, I have a problem. I'm using ubuntu server 8.04 and use this server as a router. I correctly set the default routing interface and gateway. However postfix keeps trowing up [no route to host] errors for all emails sent by the www-data user (all other users seem to work just fine). Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it? [09:48] i've installed jeos in a virtual machine, and selected automatic bridging [09:48] DaveTarmac: have you installed it yet ? [09:48] Is there anyone who is well familiar with the fstab and the mismatch that lshw produces, causing cd/dvd not to automount? [09:48] ikonia: yeah, done that [09:48] Felix_Krull: explain the problem [09:48] the ip is correct (static), and the gateway etc is all fine, but i can't ping anything [09:48] DaveTarmac: how did you install it [09:48] but I think I know why... bear with me [09:49] cryingtux: how did you install the nvidia drivers ? [09:49] through synaptic and also tried trhough the ubuntu hadrware driver wizard and alos through the envy, all give same results [09:49] cryingtux: which package did you install ? [09:49] ikonia: sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql phpmyadmin [09:49] cryingtux: which card are you using ? [09:49] anyone here using jeos in vmware? [09:49] i have nvidia geforce fx 5600 [09:49] cryingtux: try nott to use envy [09:49] my question is that i have a HP laptop and on it i have running Windows Vista Home Premium and would like to install Ubuntu as well, but am afraid i will damage something and void the warranty, can someone please advise whether its safe to do so or not, thank you. [09:50] cryingtux: interesting which nvidia package did you install ? [09:50] Thnaks, first, I already had a session with one guy here, but he managed only to tell me that I need someone more experienced. In brief, my cd/dvd and sd-card stopped automounting, while usb-flash still has it. [09:50] rgp2130: you should be fine [09:50] my mail queue is currently keeping all these messages stored [09:50] rgp2130: ubuntu does not damage hardware, the worst you should have is a damaged Windows Operating system IF you mess up the insall [09:50] <^paradox^> i recently had a geforce 6200 put in [09:50] ikonia: yeah, sorted it [09:50] ikonia: Thanks, first, I already had a session with one guy here, but he managed only to tell me that I need someone more experienced. In brief, my cd/dvd and sd-card stopped automounting, while usb-flash still has it. [09:51] hello all the new update to firefox killed my flash player how do i get it back [09:51] !ipod in ubuntu [09:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about ipod in ubuntu [09:51] Anyone know a solution to my problem of having to manually enable Compiz every session? [09:51] !ipod [09:51] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [09:51] and i have installed glx-new driver [09:51] ikonia: how much HDD space do i need for Ubuntu? [09:51] !jeos [09:51] JeOS (pronounced "Juice") is Just enough Operating System. It is an efficient variant of the Ubuntu Server operating system, configured specifically for virtual appliances. See http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/jeos for more information. [09:51] ikonia: needed to create a link to it in the /var/www folder [09:51] cryingtux: have you tried removing the nvidia-glx-new package, and then using nvidia-glx [09:51] hmm where can I get a overview which xtffonts I got installed??? [09:52] ikonia: In gconftool-2 is everything related to Nautilus, automount set to TRUE, properly... [09:52] ikonia, yes and same results and this happens only with 8.04 [09:52] Flannel: sorry I don't follow [09:52] cryingtux: I'd log a but to nvidia then - as it's a closed source driver [09:52] bug [09:52] Anyone know how to install flash player for firefox [09:52] guys, any vmware experts here? [09:52] OdnsRvns: install the flashplugin-nonfree [09:52] ikonia, and interestingly, mint and kurumin are two ubuntu 8.04 series which dont give me this error but pure ubuntu series do give me [09:53] rgp2130: the warranty does not cover what kind of oeprating system you have in your hardware (even if the vendors says the opposite). Changing operating system, then having a problem with hardware and not having the vendors honor the warranty because of that would lead to them losing in a law suit. [09:53] shlunk: your asking ever 60 seconds - try to space it out more [09:53] Through Symatic [09:53] ikonia: Hence, I am really out of ideas what could be wrong. This is annoying, and sudden. [09:53] OdnsRvns: yes [09:53] k [09:53] hello [09:53] what is the best mp3 codecs for ubuntu ? [09:54] Flannel: so you put a DVD in and it doen't automount [09:54] 0dnsRvns: open the Firefox Browser and go to your addons feature and find it through that, alternatively go to http://www.adobe.com [09:54] muyyaQ: everyone likes different codecs [09:54] rpedro: thats not the approved method [09:54] aa [09:54] .. === nostferka is now known as nostferka^ [09:54] ikonia: I do not know who is Flannel, but he/she has the same problem :-) [09:55] Felix_Krull: Flannel is very sharp, I'll try to get a better explination of the problem off him [09:55] can someone tell me how you would grep each line of a file and have it spit back to you only the lines that started with ---> -[single digit]-^![single digit]s <------- [09:55] and why when i install windows xp on my hdd cpu usage will be 100% n but when im using ubuntu cpu usage is stable ? [09:55] bluefrog: thank you, i also have a alienware laptop that works but doesnt have a working keyboard and has win xp installed which i will remove and change to only run ubuntu, that laptop is out of warranty and even if i stuff things up i will just wipe and try again [09:56] muyyaQ: depends what your doing [09:56] !minimum [09:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about minimum [09:56] ikonia: so i guess this is weird bug which 8.04 brought for me and will never be fixed as i see === lurcio|away is now known as lurcio [09:56] does anybody mind confirming a testable bug for me? [09:56] !minimal [09:56] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [09:56] !s-video [09:56] ikonia: But, can you help me? [09:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about s-video [09:57] how can I change the default path that apache works on? [09:57] I have a nasty problem with Ubuntu 8.04 and Nvidia setting, can anybody HELP me? [09:57] ubi-laptop: whats up? [09:57] blue frog, Ikonia: thank you both for your assistance. Have a great day. [09:57] hi guys, with grub in windows it allows you to install something to allow booting from the cd [09:57] ubi-laptop: same here, me too [09:57] DaveTarmac: the path to the html source? [09:57] how do i remove this option? [09:57] hi all [09:57] Slart: yeah please [09:57] I need to make horizontal scrollbar in touchpad on a laptop work like a back/forward button on firefox 3 [09:57] nvidia and 8.04 dont like each other [09:57] Felix_Krull: I'm not sure I understand the problem [09:57] thanks, when I press CTRL ALT F1-F6 I get i black console [09:57] can anyone remember me the line to change in about:config ? [09:58] ubi-laptop, cryingtux: what are the symptoms and what have you tried so far? [09:58] DaveTarmac: have you read the docs for apache? I think there is a special way you're supposed to use.. not sure if it's symbolic links or creating a second set of config-files.. [09:58] ikonia: In brief, cd/dvd stopped automounting, just out of the blue! And sd-card too! [09:58] this is the best trick ever to navigate in firefox [09:58] ubi-laptop: what do you mean by black console? [09:58] DaveTarmac: the setting itself is in the config files afaik.. /etc/apache or something like that [09:58] Why is it advisable to use the program badblocks carefully? [09:59] Slart: ok, cheers [09:59] bullgard4: badblocks, or the vendor tools [09:59] balrog: i have a bumpy and poor resolution after i install nvidia driver [09:59] ikonia: badblocks [09:59] everything black no reaction sistem seem running if i press ctrl alt f7 i get back to X [09:59] my desktop looks like as if somebody hammered it at various places [09:59] bullgard4: yes [09:59] cryingtux: you've said, I'd log a bug [10:00] whats the sudo for install [10:00] ikonia: My question was: "Why?" [10:00] ikonia: another guy asked me so i was just repeating it [10:00] hi [10:00] bullgard4: incase you damage your disk [10:00] * shadghost has a question abut vnc server is any one can help [10:01] What port is LFP in xorg.conf? [10:01] ubi-laptop: i need to get to bed, but look around ubuntuforums.org for the kernel framebuffer and your video card model [10:01] ikonia: There is a danger to damage my hard disk if I am using badblocks? Please elaborate. [10:01] ikonia: cryingtux is correct, i did ask him to repeat it, sorry, i just got on irc [10:01] thanks balrog just done for a week i can submit details [10:01] i have no gpu hooked upto my server, but i need to do a few things with a gui, so i wans wndering how to configure a vnc server (i have ssh to it) so i can just vnc into the box with a gui, not just get the terminal when i vnc in [10:02] OdnsRvns: sudo for install? you mean a program you've compiled yourself? [10:02] cryingtux: what do you mean by "bumpy"? [10:02] balrog: i will post a sc [10:02] bullgard4: read about what it does and how it can try to fix things [10:03] bullgard4: it's not a problem [10:03] hey [10:03] how do I install 177.x nvidia driver in hardy the safe way? [10:03] balrog:http://img517.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotnw2.png [10:03] balrog - If i can solve access to console without tha black screen i could install latest nvidia drivers [10:03] i get this issue with ALL 8.04 series [10:04] Does anybody know what port LFP is in xorg.conf? [10:04] ikonia: I have read man badblocks. I cannot see why an analysis tool is a dangerous thing. [10:04] except 2 8.04 based that is kurumin NG and mintlinux [10:04] bullgard4: read the important note [10:04] ubi-laptop: oh, so you cant install them while x is running, is that correct? [10:04] balrog yes [10:05] how do I install 177.x nvidia driver in hardy the safe way? [10:05] shadghost: do you have a computer without any graphics card at all? [10:05] Slart: the server [10:05] pen: restricted drivers would be the safest way if you ask me [10:05] pen i have the same problem i don't know [10:05] ls [10:05] * shadghost figured it out [10:05] Can anyone help me get svideo working? [10:06] balrog: there is another symptom, desktop flicker [10:06] shadghost: isn't there some kind of dummy graphics driver you can use? [10:06] ubi-laptop: ive had the same problem in the past, you should be able to install them from your existing session after you have killed x, but i dont remember the command to do that... one sec [10:06] yes [10:06] Slart, restricted driver only takes me to 167 or 173 something [10:06] pen: oh.. tried envyng? [10:06] Slart: x-session-manager worked [10:06] hehe funny [10:06] balrog i found the comand to kill x but then i get a blank screen [10:07] shadghost: ah.. so problem solved? [10:07] balrog - if a start from boot in console i have init level 1 witch too low [10:07] Slart, course, only to 169 [10:07] my raid5 array won't start anymore [10:07] Slart, they stop renewing the drivers I think [10:07] Slart: yeppers [10:07] stoked: software raid ? [10:07] yeah [10:07] cryingtux: the sc looks fine to, except the take-screenshot utility is fading out as the screenshot was taken. i suspect a hardware issue, so i would have to concur: file a bug on launchpad.net [10:08] so i guess i will stay away from ubuntu for a while and wait for the next release, may be then things will be normal for me on ubuntu [10:08] ubi-laptop, so you want to upgrade too? [10:08] balrog if i choose initlevel 2 or 3 it start x and i'm again there [10:08] hmm [10:08] guys [10:08] Damn, I seem to have done something when I was toying with OpenBox earlier, now I can't right click the desktop [10:08] my monitor is running at 50 hz [10:08] and i have a samsung lcd [10:08] balrog and pen i have to go for 20 minutes i will be back and read thank you [10:08] how can i change the refreshrate in ubuntu? [10:09] stoked: I'm fine with raid yes [10:09] pen: I can install 173.14.12 with envyng.. is 177 a beta driver? [10:10] Slart, I don't think so, it has been out for quite a time [10:10] ikonia and balrog: thanks for your time and help [10:10] Slart, and it's available in intrepid repository [10:10] Slart, but I'm in hardy [10:10] pen: 173 is the latest driver according to the nvidia site [10:10] Slart, it's 177.x [10:10] ubi-laptop: "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" to stop your x server, and "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" to start it when your finished. does that work? [10:11] stoked: I'm fine with mdadm [10:11] Slart, then probably they didn't update the site yet, because if you update your intrepid you will see 177 [10:11] pen: 177 is indeed a beta driver.. but it's available from the nvidia site [10:11] ikonia: I have this in my /var/adm/messages http://pastebin.com/m31e4605a [10:11] Slart, well, if it still a beta, then why there is no such packages for hardy but intrepid? [10:12] Slart, it's not going to be out of beta after a few weeks? [10:12] pen: because intrepid is also a beta, perhaps? [10:12] Slart, it's still in alpha! [10:12] ubi-laptop: i am going to bed. good luck. ill probably be on tomorrow a little earlier in the day. [10:13] ikonia: my results from mdadm --examine /dev/sdx1 http://pastebin.com/m7af8982 [10:13] Well this is less than ideal, messing around with an OpenBox session I've somehow broken the Gnome desktop :/ [10:13] Slart, no, I don't think they would use beta on alpha, it's because 177.x has been tested for quite a time I think it works fine [10:13] hi all. I installed the ubuntu media theme last night, and removed it this morning. However, it now seems I have lost all my default ubuntu system sounds. Any idea what package I need to restore to get it back? [10:13] Slart, and the current driver I'm using will cause firefox can't render very long site [10:13] stoked: looks like your disks are marked as dirty [10:13] Can anyone help me get s-video out working? I've read the ati BinaryHowTo, searched the forums, googled. Tried Xinerama and MergedFB but nothing is working for me. [10:14] Sonderblade: has anything happened to them [10:14] Slart, I suspect that's from the driver [10:14] ikonia: is there anything I can do? [10:14] ah, got it. nevermind! [10:14] stoked: first thing I'd do is fsck the raw devices [10:15] stoked: then do an mdadm --examine on the md0 device [10:15] !enter [10:15] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [10:15] stoked: maybe do a forced start and run fsck on the md0 device [10:15] depending on the results [10:15] hmmm running xfs [10:15] ikonia: how do you force a start? [10:16] who know hao kan i see movies online [10:17] pen: why not try the one from nvidias site then? it's not that hard to install [10:17] stoked: I think --manage --run --force [10:17] Slart, but it's not really supported [10:17] Slart, from ubuntu [10:18] Slart, it's easier to messed up I think and I don't know how to revert back using the official. [10:18] pen: then I think you'll have to stick with the driver in the repos.. I don't think intrepid is supported either [10:18] can anyone suggest the best place to look for info on making a bootable usb mem stick [10:18] hiya [10:18] !usb [10:18] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [10:19] what was the command to install a local .deb? [10:19] hi [10:19] stoked: try --run --query, and --run --force, and --run --test, and --run --examine [10:19] Slart: thank you [10:19] frandavid100: dpkg -i is one way [10:19] frandavid100: gdebi is another.. perhaps better way [10:20] ikonia: can't get it to start [10:20] Can anyone help me get s-video out working? I've read the ati BinaryHowTo, searched the forums, googled. Tried Xinerama and MergedFB but nothing is working for me. [10:20] stoked: what does it complain about [10:20] stoked: what happened to cause all this ? [10:22] ikonia: well I added a another HD, I successfully grew the array to total 4 disks, vgextend, and lvextend [10:22] ikonia: but xfs_growfs would fail, then I unmounted the lv and remounted and it gave error about superblock [10:23] ikonia: rebooted, and no more array :( [10:23] How can you make the bash shell colour ful like Gentoo's version? :P [10:23] thanks Slart, I'll go the command line way [10:23] colourful * [10:23] stoked: whoaaaa [10:23] stoked: you can't do that with raid 5 [10:24] trying to install OOo 3 RC, so it's a lot of deb files [10:24] frandavid100: there is a gui version of gdebi called gdebi-gtk if you want that [10:24] stoked: which dynamic resize method did you use [10:24] ikonia: can't do xfs_growfs? [10:24] Does anyone know how I might somehow repair my gnome to use the default desktop and restore it's default settings [10:24] stoked: a raid array is not a file system [10:24] stoked: you've changed an disk - not a file system [10:25] Ive fixed the problems Ive caused with OpenBox mostly, but even after getting rid of iDesk I'm still having issues [10:25] ikonia: well I did a mdadm --grow --raid-devices=4 /dev/md1 [10:25] md0 [10:25] ikonia: then did my vgextend and lvextend [10:25] stoked: ahh you did do a "grow [10:25] yup === co_bgtz is now known as erni [10:25] stoked: I assume your reading this http://scotgate.org/?p=107 [10:26] Is there anyone who is willing to help me with cd/dvd and sd-card stop automounting??? [10:26] ikonia: yeah but I was running lvm2 as well [10:26] stoked: did the grow sync up all ok [10:26] stoked: lvm 2 is not an issue [10:26] ikonia: grow synced fine [10:26] stoked: this is an issue at the raid level, file system/lvm is not important [10:27] ikonia: said 4 drives full space, and active and clean [10:27] How do I copy text from gedit to google address bar? [10:27] ikonia: did you see my mdadm examine from each specific disk? [10:28] Can someone tell me how to add a launcher to the panel please? [10:28] <^paradox^> im trying to set up a printer to be shared over our network [10:29] stoked: yes [10:29] JuzzyD: Just rightclick and add [10:29] <^paradox^> there are two computers on it [10:30] Cheers sedarkraider much appreciated. Don't suppose you can help me get my desktop back too? [10:30] ikonia: Sorry, but can you help me with this automount issue?!? [10:30] <^paradox^> this one the ubuntu pc and my wifes windows vista home pc to which the printer is connected [10:30] Felix_Krull: when you put a dvd in, tail the syslog and see what it says [10:30] <^paradox^> ive installed samba, samba-common, and smbfs [10:32] <^paradox^> ive configured the printer and when i try to print test pages the printer receives them and they say spooling in the job list on the vista pc [10:32] ikonia, hej man! [10:32] <^paradox^> physically the printer moves and tries to print em [10:32] Hi. When I boot ubuntu X doesn't start anymore. Instead I get the text login screen. Here's the xorg.log: http://dpaste.com/80883/. Any idea what's going wrong? [10:32] Ronald: hey [10:32] ikonia: I tried mdadm --assemble --force /dev/md0, but I get no devices [10:32] <^paradox^> but they dont print [10:32] stoked: just doing a little research..... [10:32] ikonia: Sorry, how exactly to do that? [10:33] stoked: keep in mind that what you did is still classed as experimental [10:33] JuzzyD> before you login to your computer, on the lower left hand side go to options and log in with 'default' or previous of whatever worked best [10:33] dvoid: tail -f /var/log/syslog [10:33] Hello [10:34] ikonia: any other suggestions? [10:34] JuzzyD> if theres a problem with xorg then :S check if you have a xorg.conf~ or backup file that you can replace the current file with [10:34] <^paradox^> so i seriously need. i can go no further on my own [10:34] stoked: just doing a little research [10:35] So guys, my primary use of ubuntu these days is running a terminal and bluefish from VMWare (As gvfs for editing on remote server is very convenient and hands down beats anything i can find windows related). So really the 'desktop' install of ubuntu is fairly bloated for me. Are there any drawbacks in starting out from 'server' and ask apt to install bluefish/gnome-terminal and explicitely anything else i'd need over the pretty complete [10:35] desktop install? [10:35] ikonia: Sep 27 11:34:29 pmilin-laptop kernel: [ 3103.769615] UDF-fs: No VRS found [10:35] Sep 27 11:34:29 pmilin-laptop kernel: [ 3104.008763] ISO 9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A [10:35] /server irc.freenode.net [10:35] Felix_Krull: is there anything on the DVD your putting in ? [10:36] ikonia: But, I got that only when I mounted cd/dvd going to Places and then clicking... Yes, it is a proper dvd! [10:36] sedarkraider, I wish it was that easy! It's something I've done somehow in using OpenBox, I remember vaguely doing something that allowed OpenBox to take over the right click, but I've got no desktop icons or anything [10:36] I had idesk installed at one stage too, it's all messed up and weird [10:37] Felix_Krull: does anything appear in the syslog when you just put the dvd in [10:37] ikonia: No, nothing... I will check again... [10:38] ikonia: phew, think I got it back! [10:38] Ubuntu studio looks havoc... [10:38] ikonia: my mdadm.conf had 3 devices instead of 4 [10:38] hola guys and grls :) [10:38] stoked: ahhhhhh thats interesting [10:38] stoked: add the extra device in [10:39] JuzzyD> try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=831531 [10:39] ikonia: oh oh I tried to mount it [10:39] stoked: that will help the boot time creation [10:39] Thanks!!

[10:41] I yes [10:41] stoked: ahhh, stop trying to mount it [10:41] has anyone got a large knowledge of installing ubuntu using wubi? [10:41] stoked: lvm is unavailable because your core device (md0) is unavailable [10:41] ikonia: but vgdisplay and lvdisplay show my groups [10:41] what's wubi? [10:41] ikonia: ok, I need to let it resync then? [10:41] stoked: yes, because thats read from a file [10:42] ikonia, are you on ubuntu help duty today ;)?

[10:46] stoked: interesting [10:47] doanxuantam: this is a support channel, friendly chatter can be found in #ubuntu+1 [10:47] oops [10:47] ikonia: I'll let it recreate [10:47] ubuntu-offtopic is what I meant [10:47] gnight paradox [10:47] steveire: the errors i found on the log talk about version missmatch between the xserver and drivers... do you have the system up to date? any third party or version mixed repos? [10:47] <^paradox^> im not giving up though. im getting behind and itll soon cost me money [10:47] id help but im clueless [10:47] stoked: lets check it's status once it's re-created [10:47] steveire, it says there are no screens found? [10:47] ikonia: Well, I am not totally unexperienced, but I did not messed with those things. Please, if it is not too much trouble, help me! [10:47] ikonia: I should be able to blow away sdb1 right and readd it? [10:47] <^paradox^> lol its cool [10:48] Felix_Krull: that is quite experienced [10:48] erUSUL: Medibuntu. I've just run an update and there was an update for xserver-xorg-core [10:48] stoked: yes, IF it re-syncs without it [10:48] sorry if this is a dumb question, im kinda new here [10:48] !medibuntu [10:48] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [10:48] but what's a penis? [10:48] oh [10:49] gg [10:49] JuzzyD> when I tried to use compiz my desktop crashed, and I had to start gdm just as I suggested to you. However, if you still wish to enable Desktop effects System -> Preferences -> Advanced Desktop Effects Settings) [10:49] ikonia thanks [10:49] steveire: o.0!! i have medibuntu too and there is no xserver packages there iirc... [10:49] <^paradox^> i dont have $250 to fork out for phone support right now so irc is the way to go. its just that simple [10:49] steveire: i check [10:49] i get the point... [10:49] ikonia: going to sleep :D aprreciate your help [10:49] .. [10:49] stoked: no problem, most unusal [10:49] stoked: just keep in mind that hot adding disks is still experimental [10:49] scared me [10:49] I think the update was from -updates. [10:50] erUSUL: Jimm-: The update fixed it. Cheers anyway. [10:50] steveire: ok [10:50] well, I will try to explain my prob to you, hope anyone can help, Im using screen and since Im on a german keyboard, that C^] for copy mode is pretty much unreachable for me, so I wanted to change it to C^ü (german umlaut) However I just cant assign it, can I take changes to Xmodmap or sth? is there any way=/ [10:50] j00bacca: this is a support channel, if you want to participate, great, if you want to mess around, and make pointless childish comments as you have just done, - don't bother [10:52] My machine seems to work OKish with Compiz [10:52] but cause it's a really old crappy gfx card (Radeon mobility 9000) I have to activate it manually every time I start a new session [10:53] JuzzyD, if it works ok why do you need to manually activate it? [10:53] i need to serve something from apache and i made a group "htusers", put myself and apache in it, and did chmod g+rwx to all the files necessary, but apache complains it can't find the file. what am i doing wrong? [10:53] HOw do I install Jasper? [10:53] Cause the old card isn't supported, so for some reason I have to turn it on with compiz --replace & [10:53] then it works perfect [10:53] SOS Jasper [10:54] JuzzyD, I had the same problem. When you start it manually it works, but when you restart the computer the inital sys checks don\t find your hardware good enough [10:54] could someone possibly help with running vbox? I receive message: "Make sure that user has write permissions for /dev/vboxdrv by adding them to the vboxusers groups" [10:54] Will any1 help me installing jasper? [10:55] yep yep [10:55] nifty, so far so good with upgrading to whichever version of intrepid is most recent [10:56] Trader_T: sudo usermod -aG vboxusers [10:57] Gonna buy myself a new pc for christmas this year I think, any recommendations for a dual boot laptop? I'm thinking maybe Alienware so I can do a spot of gaming [10:57] Stavros, Trader_T: or sudo adduser user group [10:57] Flannel: will that add them to the group, or set that group to theirs? [10:58] Stavros: add them to the group [10:58] hi, need some geeral help. audio has ceased to work on one game - tecnoballsz - and works throughout the rest of the system. I've tried different drivers but to no avail. when i run the game in verbose mode it says "handler_audio::initialize() audio disable!" any idea's how to get this running again? --- there are settings (ctrl+s/d/f) to disable sfx/music and they do nothing to reinstate sound for the game... [10:58] ah, great [10:58] Stavros: What do I put as ? Sorry, know nothing about linux, just switched from xp [10:58] Flannel: do you have any idea why the group i made doesn't work [10:58] Trader_T: your username [10:58] Trader_T: type 'whoami' in a regular terminal [10:59] hm, how could I mod a key to another one with Xmodmap? [11:00] like the german umlaut to ] [11:00] Stavros: What isn't happening like you think it ought to? [11:01] ikonia: So, would you help me? How to check my hal/dbus/udev? [11:02] Stavros: it says "you will need to logout for the change to take effect" [11:02] logout of ubuntu?

[11:04] Flannel: i have added group access to www-data but it appears that apache can't access the db [11:04] Felix_Krull: just do sudo /etc/init.d/udev start [11:04] Trader_T: yes, log out and back in [11:04] J0n5555: That's the winehq repository, it's a decent repo, but it is third party. [11:04] i already have wine installed with the default sources, but WoW doesn't run, it just throws up alot of errors (i just coppied the "World of Warcraft" directory from my windows computer [11:04] ikonia: Fail [11:04] hm, how could I mod a key to another one with Xmodmap? like if I want to have a instead of s for example??

(i'm at the community page you liked right now) [11:06] hello, does anyone know a good movie and music player for gnome ubuntu? [11:06] s/FloodBot3/Flannel/ [11:06] ikonia: OK, I got it right!

[11:09] Flannel: greath, thx for the input... it's not horrible if things go awry, but I hate fixing things post-facto.... speaking of... does anyone have a good suggestion for rolling back changes? (kind of like windows F8/Last known configuration)... Since I've switch to running linux native, and windows virtual, I'm not sure the best way to preserve my current state for recovery if I blow it up. [11:09] NicEXE: document root and index [11:09] i need help with an xubuntu install [11:09] ahtmly2k: type xscreensaver on command line [11:09] cool Stavros, send me it please [11:10] arvind_khadri, still wont [11:10] alec: that's nice... but most here need you to state your problem/question and not a general "I need help" question. [11:10] arvind_khadri: Why don't you search for linux drivers for your model? [11:10] Hia [11:10] NicEXE: httpd.conf isn't responsible for any of it. Ubuntu uses a number of other files (in /etc/apache2) to do the configuration. For virtual host specific things, they'd be in /etc/apache2/sites-available [11:10] is s-video clearer than vga? [11:11] Xtreme_Great, doing [11:12] arvind_khadri: How did you change the color of your message man? [11:12] jon555: im having an xubuntu install problem, where the display is skrewed up. the lerft of the screen is blank and the top comes up the bottom [11:12] wers, no...s-video is limited to 640-480 and even then its not the same as vga 640-480 [11:12] like, for instance, is there an apt app that can backup my current "system state" [a la windowz] to either a disc or remote share? i'd rather not have to dd the whole disk off, because it's 100GB and connected via wireless [11:12] !backup | J0n5555 [11:12] J0n5555: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [11:12] alec: you tried the text mode installer? [11:12] Xtreme_Great, when i type your name it will be highlighted for you...btw am using a HP all in one [11:13] Flannel: thx! [11:13] !who !tab [11:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about who !tab [11:13] !who [11:13] 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 :) [11:13] !tab [11:13] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [11:13] jon555: i installed from the alternate installcd if thats what you mean [11:13] hm, how could I mod a key to another one with Xmodmap? like if I want to have a instead of s for example?? .. just cant get it to work :( [11:13] hmm, this is kinda odd, i have tried running some music(which worked yesterday) but with every music/movie player it seems it doesnt even work or there is no sound :/ [11:13] ikonia: sudo /etc/init.d/dbus stop && sudo /etc/init.d/dbus start OK [11:13] so vga is clearer than svideo, airtonix ? [11:14] alec: what kind of video card do you have? [11:14] i dont know [11:14] alec: laptop or desktop? [11:14] wers, well even so it depends on your display ... i once helped a guy run a clone to his widescreen tv whihc had a vga input....but the controller on the tv for the vga port was only analouge...so the picture was quite bad [11:14] john5555: laptop mac g 3 [11:15] alec: you running inside a VM or directly? === BlackDragon is now known as BlackZ [11:15] s/directly/native/ [11:15] jon5555: im new to linux i dont know what that means. sorry [11:16] arvind_khadri, okay I get it... may be like in this one... [11:16] arvind_khadri, is this highlighted? [11:16] Hey guys, I needed to know if I can accelerate the cpu or may be make programs use some specific amount of my cpu when I play suppose games, [11:16] how do I do it without getting a graphics card? [11:16] Xtreme_Great: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:16] Is anyone there? [11:16] ikonia: sudo /etc/init.d/dbus stop && sudo /etc/init.d/dbus start OK [11:16] alec: no worries, VM is a program like parallels that lets you run windows or linux on top of OSX instead of directly off the hard drive [11:16] alec, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_machine [11:16] ikonia: Everything seems fine! [11:17] Xtreme_Great: Hello [11:17] Xtreme_Great, Hello [11:17] jon555: no i have done a complete install of xubuntu [11:18] ikonia: Sorry, are you here? [11:18] alec: have you looked at this yet http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=405934 ? [11:18] quickie: doing sudo checkinstall errors at chmod: changing permissions of `/usr/local/share/lxappearance/install-icon-theme.sh': No such file or directory.. what's wrong here? [11:18] i tried to upgrade all packages this morning. it broke on libc6-i686. after running sudo apt-get autoremove i get this: http://pastebin.ca/1212209 [11:18] Hey guys, I needed to know if I can accelerate the cpu or may be make programs use some specific amount of my cpu when I play suppose games, without getting a graphics card? [11:18] I have installed Mac4Lin but now I want to have my default system font. How do I reset the fonts? I can't find any options for changing the system font in Ubuntu 8.04 [11:19] JOn5555: no not yet but i have done alot of looking to get this working [11:19] Xtreme_Great: can you re-word your question, it doesn't make sense for me [11:20] alec: it has some information about setting up X, which is relevant if you want to get the GUI to show properly... [11:20] hi, i have been following this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HpAllInOne but the first step only fails.. [11:20] JOn5555: ill check it out thanks [11:20] I mean, okay for example, if I run Google earth (Just for instance), it's taking up 100% of my processor usage, and is slow, as it is using OpenGl and I don't want to have to (or want to) buy a graphics card... Is there a way to reduce the cpu usage? === napsy___ is now known as napsy_ [11:22] Xtreme_Great, not really...not to any noticable degree [11:22] JOn5555: i used the alternate install cd, all went well except the display is skrewed [11:22] alec: np, if you have a specific error you run into, come back and ask about it, it's easier to work with errors.... read around a bit to find out where/how to read error output files... (For instance, you should be able to hit ALT+CTRL+F1 to get to a raw console, and thus able to look at errors when starting X) [11:22] Xtreme_Great, amybe it will run better if google actually pulled their thumb out and made it truly native [11:23] Xtreme_Great, as it is now....it's just a program wrapped in a custom wine setup [11:23] alec: I understand, it is likely an issue with your X config file, I don't have a G3 myself, so I can't be much more help, but I imagin alot of people have done what you are doing, and have posted their solutions in the forums or elsewhere [11:23] airtronix: No I'm using the native linux version [11:24] Xtreme_Great, like i said...ther isnt a real native linux version [11:24] JOn5555:thanks [11:24] airtronix: Is there some external nvidia card available for laptops? I searched a lot and didn't get anything other than vga cards [11:24] Xtreme_Great, any video card that doesnt plug directly into the bus is less than desirable [11:24] airtronix: Try going to google earth's download page. It is there... [11:25] Xtreme_Great, :) i know ... its actually the windows code wrapped in a Qt'ified wine setup [11:25] Is there a command I can use to clear my Random Access Memory ? because I am constantly using 90 to 99% of my memory... even with nothing running up front.. and nothing like ktorrent etc running.. [11:25] hi does anyone know where I can get more information for porting Ubuntu onto an Xscale or Arm Processor? [11:26] are there any solid whole disk encryption products that work on alll three main o/s? (windowsz, linux, osx)? one of my clients wants to have a cross platform disk encryption technology... (they would also like to centrally manage it, though I can't figure out what that is effective for their size company ~ about 80 laptop users) [11:26] airtronix: Whoa I didn't know that... Is that open source? [11:26] i've looked/plauyed with truecrypt a bit [11:26] gpg [11:26] anyone? [11:26] J0n5555: gpg [11:27] Xtreme_Great, is what opensource? [11:27] airtronix: Google earth... [11:27] airtronix: btw, I'm having the same problem with running TORCS and Nexuiz [11:28] Xtreme_Great, i doubt google earth is opensource or we would have a native linux version rather than this psuedo setups [11:28] Xtreme_Great: thx! [11:28] J00n5555: You're welcome... : [11:29] airtronix: I'm having the same problem with running TORCS and Nexuiz [11:30] !KDE [11:30] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu.

I'm not sure why it matters if gnome or compiz crash though. You just reboot if they crash [13:50] co0lingFir3, and i am saying that for that to be possible you need to either : 1) have a binary or script app that you can file -> browse -> select to handle that ...or 2) get a firefox addon that will open the gmail website when you click those links...

[14:27] vonderer: my guess is xfwm is still handling your keyboard shortcuts [14:27] mm… maybe, but that's strange [14:27] ? [14:28] why would (ssh root@192.168.0.6 tar -cf - pool | tar -xf -) be yelding error (stdin: is not a tty) ? is my syntax incorrect ? [14:28] Agent_bob, please don't repeat yourself [14:28] vonderer: kill xfwm then [14:28] magnetron i didn't i ammended it. [14:28] does anyone have an extra cedega account that they are not using?

[14:31] how do i make it so i dont have to log in to start ubuntu or log in every time i run synaptic? [14:32] curtis: i see, it crashes with wine [14:32] just did a minimum install on a toshiba satellite but once i try to startx the xcreen goes black and nothing gets shown, even ctrl+delete+backspace dons't work. Can someone help me with this problem? [14:32] nosto, what do you mean? [14:32] Odd-rationale: like... undelete them even if you empied the trash? [14:33] Pirate_Hunter: this is a bug with the default vesa driver [14:33] no takers huh ;/ ok i'll ask somewhere else. [14:34] Pirate_Hunter: did you install some desktop enviroment yet?? [14:34] jim_p: no, like, if you moved a bunch of files to the trash, can you do a restore and all the files go back to thier original locaiton? [14:34] jim_p, i installed xorg, icewm and xdm [14:34] jim_p, the problem is once i startx i cant do anything [14:34] Agent_bob, your construct could be ambiguous - is it ssh root@192.168.0.6 'tar -cf - pool' | tar -xf - or ssh root@192.168.0.6 'tar -cf - pool | tar -xf -' [14:34] hello everyone!!!!!! [14:34] becuase, nautilus 2.22 can't do it... but thunar can... :| [14:34] Odd-rationale: i dont know that , sorry :( [14:35] jim_p: k, thanks... [14:35] unop i want to make it so when i start my machine it goes right into ubuntu - i only have one user on this machine and i want it to auto login [14:35] Pirate_Hunter: does xdm start? [14:35] jim_p, nope [14:35] and every time i click the synaptic tool i want it to just open - i didn't click it for fun i awnt to open it not log in :-P [14:35] Odd-rationale, as long you dont purge the trash you shuld be able to restore them, trash normally has a maximum size, if you delete more than that the oldest gehts purged first. [14:35] that was xfwm4. :D [14:36] nosto, use the gdmsetup tool to adjust autologon properties [14:36] jim_p, is there a fix [14:36] Pirate_Hunter: how did you install xorg (what command) [14:36] ? [14:36] nosto, i'm still confused about synaptic - i just don't see how it fits in here [14:36] jim_p, sudo apt-get install xorg icewm xdm [14:36] jim_p, same as always but why doesnt X show anything [14:36] Pirate_Hunter: there is a "fix" that says do not use "startx" with "vesa" as the default driver :P [14:37] jim_p, heh? [14:37] jim_p, so how do i go about starting x in a different way? [14:37] apophis: i know that the files are still in the trash... i was just wondering whether you can automatically restore an item back to it's origianl location... (kind of like windows, if you remember... :P) [14:37] Pirate_Hunter: can you remove xdm and install slim instead? [14:38] jim_p, i had slim on my first install this is my second install and this time i chose xdm same result :( [14:38] aha, according to the changelog for 2.23.5: '* Add "restore from trash" functionality (only per item)' i guess that's a start... [14:38] Odd-rationale, I see. I misunderstood the question :) Probably not [14:38] someone know use chatzilla with firefox ,modify color style???? [14:38] Pirate_Hunter: no X ever with another display manager? what gpu are you on? [14:39] what kind of video editing software do i need to overlay recorded sound over a video? i am making a tutorial dvd of linux and some other various stuff. [14:39] dfgas: lives perhaps? [14:39] hi [14:40] jim_p, hmmm, cool i will try that out [14:40] jim_p, gpu, huh? ive used the hardy heron minimum install iso on this old toshiba satellite [14:40] dfgas: avidemux may be what you need, easy [14:40] Odd-rationale, the problem is that the Trash is just a normal folder in your home, therefore there is no way to know where it was before a "mv" ;) [14:40] jim_p, maybe i shouldve gone for gutsy or dapper [14:40] I have about 2,000 files that are all in uppercase. I need to rename all of them to lowercase. Does anyone here know how to do this automated? [14:40] whileimhere: 'man rename' I believe it does that exact example [14:40] !minimal [14:40] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [14:41] QUESTION, i have recently installed 2 games, americas army and openarena... but after they finished installing the application menu doesn't show their icons... any idea why?

[14:41] ahtmly2k: don't be annoying please.

[14:41] Pirate_Hunter: can you run an lspci? even from recovery mode [14:42] atlef, cool, will check that out as well [14:42] jim_p, ok [14:42] Odd-rationale, must be hack :) [14:42] ahtmly2k: the reason is because the installers didn't create menu items. Those aren't ubuntu packages so you are going to have to file bugs with whovever created the installers [14:42] dude i'm just trying to find sum answers... chill [14:42] jim_p, what am i supposed to look for? [14:42] Thanks jrib it looks like that is what I am after. [14:42] they are ubuntu packages [14:42] at least the openarena is [14:42] apophis: i'm sure it will make a lot of people happy... can't wait to try the new gnome.... :D [14:42] Pirate_Hunter: lspci | grep VGA [14:43] new GNOME? [14:43] cuz its successfully installed [14:43] but no icons [14:43] ahtmly2k: file a bug against openarena then. I don't see america's army in the repository [14:43] Pirate_Hunter: i must go in ~15 minutes ok? [14:43] whileimhere: yeah, gnome 2.24.0 planned for intrepid...

What improvements are we talking about? [14:44] *Mycrosystems [14:44] i wonder if this will be affected by the change ? [14:44] wat are /scripts/casper [14:44] whileimhere: http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.24/ [14:44] Pirate_Hunter: wow thats old! like when i first started with pcs [14:44] i got no prob running americas army... cuz i can still find its executable... but icant find openarena's [14:45] whileimhere: although, you can ingore the section about empathy.... as the ubuntu team decided to stick with pidgin still... [14:45] jim_p, yah i know that is why im doing bare install [14:45] Pirate_Hunter: but it has its driver >> xserver-xorg-video-trident - X.Org X server -- Trident display driver [14:45] ahtmly2k: dpkg -L openarena | grep bin But you should be filing bugs so that menu items get created in the future [14:45] Odd-rationale, whats bad about pidgin? [14:45] I see. I guess there isnt much for the basic end user to get excited over though [14:45] jim_p, how do i activate its drivers? [14:45] Pirate_Hunter: can you use "trident" in xorg.conf? [14:45] apophis: nothing... [14:46] can i post a link to a site here pls? [14:46] jim_p, huh? how do i make xorg use the trident drivers? [14:46] jim_p, instead of vesa [14:46] Pirate_Hunter: let me pm you my corg.conf link [14:46] i cant get my graphics card working [14:46] any one know why? [14:47] nvidia geforce 9500 [14:48] i'm gonna try reinstalling it from the synaptics [14:48] ahtmly2k: did you do what I said? [14:48] its just that because the file's too big and i'd hate to wait again === lolmac is now known as asdxz [14:49] ahtmly2k: what file is too big?

You have 2 options: 1) you can install it again the same way you did the first time and then remove it as it's dangerous or 2) I can give you a command to force dpkg to remove it but it may leave some files around [15:34] nosto: in terminal type sudo displayconfig-gtk do you get options for refresh? [15:34] eightyeight, X wont show anything i have icewm and nada just black screen which i cnat make sense of [15:34] jrib: option b, because i installed iwth apt-get :) [15:34] !xrandr [15:34] XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X.

[15:37] eightyeight: sry how to do that , im beginner [15:37] kebomix: that'll make your cpu run 100% all the time, which should kick in the fan. other than that, i'm not optimistic about your hardware [15:38] anyone know how to change the user of a folder from root to say "squid" [15:38] chown [15:38] jrib: i dont think its still doing anything, last it said was "dpkg: serious warning: files list file for package 'envy' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed."

[15:38] now it seems like my system is crashing ;x [15:38] strange: well what will happen is dpkg will forget about the package, but you'll have envy file lying around somewhere [15:39] Pirate_Hunter: ahh. then edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and set the video card driver to 'vesa'. see if that helps [15:39] eightyeight: http://rafb.net/p/BU1Mtk10.html [15:39] chaqu1: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=8185 [15:39] chaqu1: read there [15:40] chaqu1: it might help [15:40] eightyeight: its speed 3117RPM [15:40] ive poked around in there, the problem is it isnt basic enough, ive neevr really touched wine before.

[15:42] eightyeight: No packages found matching libgl-1. [15:42] eightyeight: is that danger on my hardware ?

[15:48] Pirate_Hunter: /tmp doesn't even exist? well, there's your problem [15:48] Pirate_Hunter: when X starts, it creates temp files in /tmp. if the permissions are wrong, it's full, or doesn't exist, then X won't start [15:48] how can i found out my default runlevel? (I am on Ubuntu) [15:48] NicEXE: who -r [15:48] NicEXE: or 'runlevel' [15:48] need help with an Epson Stylus DX 7450, please. installed latest deb pkg but still doesnt come up as an option when selecting printer drivers :( [15:49] eightyeight, had to manually go into tmp for some strange reason tab doesnt identify folder tmp :/ [15:49] anyone using virtualbox on a 64 bit machine? [15:49] Pirate_Hunter: is /tmp a separate partition? [15:49] eightyeight, im inside tmp what am i looking for? [15:49] Pirate_Hunter: i thought you said /tmp doesn't exist. does it, or doesn't it? [15:49] eightyeight, it has 10GB hd i wouldnt partition that [15:50] eightyeight, it does exist but wasnt being identified through auto tab [15:50] tyberion1: you start a new file with the command 'gedit filename1'... if you want to start a new one in new window give the command 'gedit --new-window filename2'... i didnt really understand what you mean [15:50] Pirate_Hunter: df -h and df -i. make sure there are no 100% in the 'Use%' column [15:51] JGUKHUI [15:51] JKGIOULUIY UF6RGC [15:51] eightyeight, no not even close to 100% [15:51] eightyeight, any ideas on how to get x working?

[15:52] but it tends to open new gedit sessions <_> === tyberion1 is now known as jah [15:53] eightyeight, yah it is === jah is now known as tyberion [15:53] hey all i disabled restricted drivers and restarted. it just comes right back up enabled when i restart any ideas?

[15:54] eightyeight, one sec [15:54] Pirate_Hunter: er, lsattr -d /tmp [15:54] doesn't anyone know wat /scripts/casper is?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [15:54] maniheer: no [15:54] maniheer: /scripts is not from a default install of ubuntu [15:54] eightyeight: it is there in the live CD most likely [15:54] its wat it says when i'm booting [15:55] kernel panic [15:55] LjL: ahh. fair enough [15:55] wat [15:55] is it? [15:55] eightyeight, yah it is all correct but xorg wont work [15:55] maniheer, casper is the thing the live cd uses for the filesystem. [15:55] eightyeight: that can't be the package I'm not sure how to find the package for this libgl-1 libgl1-mesa-dri is already installed [15:55] Pirate_Hunter: dunno then. seems to be a permissions issue with /tmp, but hell if i know. sorry duder [15:56] maniheer, I think.

[15:58] I'm trying to get midi to work on my VIA8233 Northbridge. /dev/sndstat says Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG .

[15:59] !midi > matreya6 (matreya6, see the private message from Ubotu) [15:59] matreya6, please see my private message [15:59] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch [16:00] frederick85: dunno then. seems your missing the library that dpkg is looking for, and libgl1 provides it [16:00] jrib: my bad [16:00] LjL, thanks for the helpful suggestion, but I need harfdware Midi, not Timidity that suck up all my CPU time [16:00] Jimm-: rv280 chipset [16:00] Hello all !

[16:02] LjL, ubottu: Thank you for the private message, but it all points to software synth and I don't want that.

[16:03] matreya6: i know, i've sent that private message before you said you didn't want software synth. but look at the address i gave you *now*, that's about hardware synth [16:03] Ashfire908, I know, it was just a message to LjL === Hide0 is now known as [H] [16:03] whom should I ask for answers?

[16:35] hollywoodjumper:you can try it and see if it works [16:35] geek_, but I would like to use it only with amarok or bashee, because iTunes + Amarok isn't that good. [16:35] they don't work together. [16:36] AlinuxOS: for formatting i mean. [16:36] Jrib: im tryin to install a software called "cbt nuggets A+ training" [16:36] thnx [16:36] i have banshee and it will not detect my itouch [16:36] bbl [16:36] geek_, as I have Mac, I need a windows machine you mine right ? [16:36] mystery: you need to read their documentation then. You might need to mount the iso, no idea [16:36] I should try a windows machine witch iTunes right ? [16:36] !iso > mystery [16:36] mystery, please see my private message [16:37] roukoun: http://pastebin.com/m757d8d60 [16:37] Hi. Where is located the icons for software link (eg. firefox - thunderbird - xchat) in ubuntu? thank you [16:37] guysoft42: open system>preferences>screen resolution is 800x600 an option? [16:37] philippe_: They are usually in /usr/share/icons/, but why do you want to know this? [16:38] jrib: to customize cairo-dock (mac os style) in gnome. He come with some custom icons [16:38] Question: Anyone know where the java-6-jdk installs to? I need to point Tomcat to it, but i have no idea where the damn thing installs to.. [16:39] (Hardy) [16:39] philippe_: I doubt you need to touch the files in /usr/share/icons/ directly for that [16:39] Leefmc: dpkg -L PACKAGE === redarrow_ is now known as redarrow [16:39] vikku: try the command: 'mount /dev/hdb' as i told you before... [16:39] jrib : it's because I want to get rid of the custom icons that come with cairo-dock. I want to put original one in the dock [16:39] philippe_: ah, I understand now [16:40] AlinuxOS: i suppose so. or a VM with USB passthrough [16:40] jrib: That lists 500 things, none of which are the straight jdk (that i see) [16:40] u geeks are useless [16:40] geek_, VM ? [16:40] AlinuxOS: virtual machine [16:40] newbie: do you have an actual qusetion? === [google|bday] is now known as [ifroog] [16:40] jrib: The problem is, jdk seems to install ontop of the jre, and i need to tell OpenLaszlo/Tomcat directly where to look for jdk [16:41] geek_, or maybe a windows machine with iTunes ? [16:41] legend2440, i am on a striped version of ubuntu from the mini.iso . can you give me the name of the program? [16:41] roukoun: still the same err [16:41] Leefmc: I'm pretty sure there's a wiki page on tomcat, have you checked it out? [16:41] legend2440, i am also expeting the answer to be "no", because i dont see it in xrandr [16:41] AlinuxOS what type of ipod do you have? [16:42] HollywoodJumper, latest 120GB Classic === BlackZ is now known as BlackZ[away] [16:42] jrib: Yea, i've been searching for hours and hours. Many sources seem to mention jdk installed under /var/jdk1.5 (or something to that effect), but the package does not install there. [16:42] jrib: Not to mention, tomcat by itself runs out of the box, no JAVA_HOME setting required. [16:42] vikku: 'sudo gedit /etc/fstab' and add the following line: '/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0'..... [16:42] jrib: This is for a downloaded OpenLaszlo installation, not the default Tomcat package [16:42] guysoft42: in terminal type gksudo displayconfig-gtk yes if not listed in xrandr its probably not an option [16:42] Leefmc: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheTomcat5 says /usr/lib/jvm/ === BlackZ[away] is now known as BlackZ [16:43] AlinuxOS and are you having trouble getting it to work with ubuntu? [16:43] HollywoodJumper, yes sir. [16:43] jrib: No go === [ifroog] is now known as [google|bday] [16:43] legend2440, give me a sec to apt-get it [16:44] HollywoodJumper, the ipods filesystem is HSF [16:44] hi there [16:44] so I think that's the main reason. [16:44] is there a bug on 8.04 with cpu freqscaling [16:44] jrib: I've tried dozens of locations from docs/forums/etc, nothing works so far with OpenLaszlo. Ugh. [16:44] my kernel is Linux Earth 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [16:44] uam use a AMD64 X2 [16:44] vikku: then 'mount /dev/cdrom' [16:45] jrib: Thats one thing i dont like about this debian install junk, the installs always put stuff outside of where many programs tend to look. Frustrating :o [16:45] AlinuxOS what type of media player are you running on ubuntu? [16:45] which download manager is preferable to use under ubuntu for mass downloads jobs? [16:45] HollywoodJumper, rhytmbox, amarok, banshee [16:45] hello where can i find the driver for my acer hotkeys? [16:45] sacabonos: if by "mass download" you mean mirroring websites... wget [16:45] i have an acer aspire 5920 [16:46] LjL, no I mean batch downloading [16:46] AlinuxOS does ubuntu recognize your ipod? [16:46] HollywoodJumper, yes. [16:46] sacabonos: well, it'll do batch downloads fine, too, although it doesn't have any fancy features such as multi-mirror downloads [16:46] and automount it. [16:46] AlinuxOS and does banshee sync your ipod? [16:46] jrib: The installer gives an error aswell, on that path you gave me, about it needing the JDK, not the JRE. [16:47] <_LiNuX_> hi..... i use Desklet.....can i use SideCandy PopMail with yahoo or only with thunderbird ? [16:47] HollywoodJumper, no. [16:47] LjL, so which program does have the fancy features? [16:47] sacabonos: aria2 supports that, but it's still a CLI only program [16:47] jrib: I've gotten that error with most of the paths i've given. [16:47] sacabonos: i'm not sure about full-featured and *graphical* download managers [16:47] Leefmc: you installed sun-java6-jdk right? [16:47] jrib: Yes [16:47] jre, jdk, etc. [16:47] AlinuxOS: better yet, least for that [16:47] vikku: ? [16:48] LjL, I am using aria2 now but I was wondering if its the common choice for ubuntu users [16:48] Leefmc: and you tried using /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.06 ? [16:48] jrib: Yup [16:48] sacabonos: well... i'm on KDE, and i tend to be a CLI user, so i'm not sure what the common choice would be for a GNOME user [16:48] LjL, all other download managers sucked really bad [16:48] Leefmc: I didn't even know openlaszlo existed until now, but how are you setting it? [16:48] LjL, GUI download managers I mean [16:49] hello everyone, I have add some local mirror of apt to the /etc/apt/sources.list, how can I choose my mirror as the default (or best server) to update software? [16:49] jrib: And /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.06/lib, /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.06/bin, /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.06/jre/something/something heh [16:49] jrib: Currently using export [16:49] sacabonos: what about d4x? probably not full-featured either though [16:49] jrib: But thats only for testing, when i find something that works, i was going to use /etc/environment [16:50] c' e' un italiano in giro ? [16:50] !it | Cletus [16:50] Cletus: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [16:50] LjL, didn't work for me I tried to use it with Flashgot (firefox extension) but it didn't quite finish most of the downloads for some reason, thats why I turned to aria2c [16:50] mi spieghi come faccio [16:50] ? [16:51] jrib: The install directions mention /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0, but ofcourse there is no /usr/java directory. [16:51] jrib: http://www.openlaszlo.org/lps4.1/docs/installation/install-instructions.html [16:51] I was wondering if there is a way to grab links from a web page and then save them to a text file (to make a download list) [16:51] sacabonos: use wget [16:51] Cletus: scrivi /join #ubuntu-it [16:52] sigh [16:52] Leefmc: and when you echo $JAVA_HOME it was set correctly? [16:52] jrib: Yup [16:52] jrib, is it going to grab the links from the web page? I don't think I saw that in the man page of wget!! [16:52] jrib: Well, it was set to what i set it heh.. which has yet to be "correct". [16:52] Can someone tell me if its possible to run an older kernel (ubuntu 8.04) on a newer release (alpha)? [16:52] sacabonos: wget and grep [16:53] where is the changelog for ibex? [16:53] <_LiNuX_> hi..... i use Desklet.....can i use SideCandy PopMail with yahoo or only with thunderbird ? [16:53] jrib, ya I tried that but didn't know how to use it exactly [16:53] !intrepid > WeeJay: [16:53] atlef: really!! that sucks. [16:53] I don't suppose anyone can tell me how to make cmus play the whole queue rather than just play a single track everytime a press x? (I've read the man page which were the only docs I could find and I couldn't find a cmus channel.) [16:53] sacabonos: 'wget -c link' [16:53] WeeJay: what [16:54] jrib, I tried wget http://webpage | grep -o http://* [16:54] atlef: my Sprint card works nice on hardy, but not on intrepid [16:54] !ibex [16:54] Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - #ubuntu+1 for discussion | Warning lots of broken software between now and October! [16:54] sacabonos: wget -O - foo.com [16:54] WeeJay: well, the ubuntu+1 should be better for your question [16:54] atlef: thanks. [16:54] sacabonos: links that are internal to the website likely won't have the http:// prefix [16:54] jrib, I think I need to read a little of both grep and wget man pages then I'll come back [16:55] sacabonos: also, "http://*" is not the regex you're looking for - drop the * [16:55] LjL, thanks, need to read about regex also [16:55] WeeJay: i am not trying to be an a**hole, but that is the answer you will get [16:55] sacabonos: well, actually if you're using "-o", don't drop the *... but make it perhaps http://[^"']* instead [16:56] Leefmc: how are you running the server after setting the variable? [16:56] atlef: oh dude I know your not..i didn't take it like that at all. I am already in ubuntu+1 :-) [16:56] WeeJay: ok, good [16:56] !info urlview | sacabonos, jrib [16:56] sacabonos, jrib: urlview (source: urlview): Extracts URLs from text. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9-17 (hardy), package size 24 kB, installed size 152 kB [16:56] jrib: Im not, you need to use setup.sh first (or so the install directions say), and that is where im stuck, because of JAVA_HOME and the JDK. [16:57] Leefmc: right, what command are you running? [16:57] jrib: setup.sh (iirc) [16:57] Leefmc: no sudo? [16:57] jrib: Yes sudo [16:57] jrib: sudo ./setup.sh iirc [16:57] Hello....I have just installed ubuntu...how do i make my wireless net work? [16:58] Leefmc: so that's probably the issue. sudo will reset your environment. Try doing 'sudo -i', then setting JAVA_HOME and then running 'startup.sh' [16:58] jrib: But i dont think sudo even matters, because with or without sudo, i get the same issue [16:58] sudo resets the environment? ugh loi [16:58] jrib: Now the question is, out of the dozen paths i've tried, were any right.. heh [16:59] Leefmc: have fun testing again! I'd start with /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.06 [16:59] I am trying to compile vdrift from the sources..... It can't fiind -lbulletcollision. Where do I find that? I mean in which library? [17:00] Hi all [17:00] I asked in #vdrift but there are no responses... [17:00] Does anyone know how I make modprobe "rescan or reload" my modules without restarting? [17:00] anybody could help: I have a problem with ctrl+alt+f1-f6 console: I get a black screen instead of prompt [17:00] I am stuck at a PXE installation of ubuntu [17:00] jrib: Argh, i think it worked. [17:00] jrib: I hate sudo now. :o [17:01] Leefmc: it's for your protection :) [17:01] jrib: Hehe [17:01] jrib: So now, to set it perma, /etc/environment is the right place correct? [17:01] hey [17:02] Leefmc: that should work [17:02] hello [17:02] jrib: How do you log out of sudo? [17:02] is there someone that can help me with a ubuntu desktop 8.04 share issue? [17:03] Leefmc: ctrl-d or exit [17:03] well, Carter, there's always a chance; go ahead and throw your question out there for all to see. [17:03] Okay they responded and I got the solution...

[17:20] jrib: sorry for the delay, that returns "drwxr-xr-x 2 nobody nogroup 4096 2008-09-27 home/carter/share/music [17:20] I want to install ubuntu on an old piece of crap computer, and it only has a CD drive. All I have is a DVD burner. Can I install from a flash drive? [17:20] rohan: sorry - I read somewhere about setting up a windows/linux dual boot so they have 4 paritions, one being a shared data space that both address. I set my laptop up already, but now I like that idea... is it a good idea, and if so, how can I do it? [17:21] Spragie: do you ask from a sharing perspective or? [17:21] Carter: I'm going to guess that the issue is that your windows is connecting as "guest". Try using your user to copy the files over instead. I have to go now though [17:21] JRowe: yes. www.pendrivelinux.com may help you [17:21] Spragie: performance go for xfs rleabilty ext3 both ext3 [17:21] Does anyone know why i get an error message that says " Error while burning: unhandled error, aborting" when trying to burn an iso image to dvd with Brasero? I have the log file. [17:21] atlef: sharing the drive with myself basically [17:21] yes, sure. You can also use the sudo find / -name option to search for names using wildcards with * and so on....thats what I do to be sure everything is gone [17:21] thank you, sibecker [17:21] brodymcd: pm me your fdisk [17:21] rohan: both are ext3? [17:21] i have a floppy image in the form of a file. how can i mount that to a directory so i can modify the contents ? [17:21] brodymcd: i tended to go EXT3 (linux) NTFS (windows) fat32 or ntfs for data with at least 10 gigs a OS dir... [17:21] can i install to the hard drive from the flash drive, though? [17:22] brodymcd: unless its vista [17:22] Spragie: ifyou are only using it with Linux, use ext3 [17:22] ahh, yes, I see it, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/15/usb-ubuntu-804-persistent-install-from-linux/ [17:22] Spragie: for performance+relaiblity go for ext3 or hardcore performance xfs rocks!! good to have multiple filesystems use ext2 for /boot [17:22] so for example sudo find / -name *application* [17:23] hi. Tried to compile some stuff, and gcc complains it can't find crti.o. Also /usr/include has no files (but it has subdirs, mostly from the kernel). What pkg should I install? [17:23] Probably miss some base development package [17:23] oliebol: build-essential? [17:23] brodymcd: ok your hdd size??

How can i do this? [17:25] right, but I only have blank DVDs... does that make a difference? [17:25] Spragie: yeah i know use fdisk the new version [17:26] yes it does [17:26] I figured it did [17:26] nvm [17:26] hehe [17:26] lovre: i'd suggest installing tilde or yakuake. the latter is better but meant more for KDE [17:26] rohan: k thanx ;] [17:26] thanks, though, Frak_ [17:26] :) [17:26] Spragie: keep rockin iam a mixer man no thanyou for us just yo !!

[17:28] but when i try to do anything on that disk, it says that it is read only [17:28] JRowe, I believe you would need a hypervisor for it [17:28] shawn123: cpu clock??

I have done this before, so I am not sure what is going on now. But, a friend's computer is having a problem. [19:56] For some reason vista won't start. [19:57] grub se vistaM [19:57] ? [19:57] So, I just decided to burn a live image for him for ubuntu. [19:57] damnit, tried with ubuntu/ubuntu ubuntu/ root/root root/ but can't login, my friend is not using a login/password in windows at all [19:57] yeah try that flash drive out put all your linux files on it and make sure you add the boot file and all the rest associated with it [19:57] it should boot up like a cd and run from that or just back up all your files on a dvr [19:57] But, when I try to run the disk (even to check for defaults). The process starts but when the Ubuntu logo and loading bar appear the computer freezes. [19:58] Any suggestions? I checked the MD5SUM and all that. [19:58] what kind of pc?

[19:58] bobertdos: what else can i do? i don't want to do a fresh install on that box without knowing if all the hw works properly [19:59] Nah, its just normal Ubuntu.

[19:59] Umm. I burnt it from Ubuntu. [19:59] bobertdos: yes [20:00] So, it should have recognized it... I think. [20:00] samnsparky: you need to know the architecture of the machine you want the livecd to run on. i.e. amd or intel(686) [20:00] all mine worked perfectly that ive burned on here both pup and mandriva [20:00] As I said, the disk loads. It just freezes when it gets to the loading bar. I believe this is a i386. [20:01] how can i backup GRUB to DVR [20:01] chew: and it is a login prompt as opposed to a command prompt? [20:01] go to a cd duplication program and just completely duplicate the cd let me look for the program i used its on the add programs [20:01] man. quit playin [20:01] Alright thanks. [20:02] samnsparky when its freeze or stop de ubuntu try press F2 or F3 keys mayb tell the ubuntu install more info [20:02] bobertdos: it's gdm/xdm or whatever ubuntu uses, it says 'User ubuntu will be logged in in 10 seconds" but goes back to GDM again [20:02] it maybe just a bad cdr or dvr ive had a few that it was just the cdrs that was at fault [20:02] Hey. I just tried pressing F2 and F3. It did not do anything. I will reboot and try again though. [20:03] oky [20:03] allright [20:03] Alright. I think I will try re-burning. Do you believe that I will need to re-download as well. [20:03] But, before I go, I will try the F2/F3 trick again.

But there's some big diferences in 8.10 (my update to alpha version didn't went that well, but that may be because it's alpha) so it may not go that smooth this time [20:08] oh man [20:08] chew: I know this is common, actually. We just have never been able to narrow it down to one solution. So you are getting into GDM briefly, which means X IS in fact starting.

[20:25] datavirus: your name prevents me from assisting. call it childish of me [20:25] i know though [20:25] bobertdos i am going to try to dual boot with vista but i am a noob and want to get all the info before i go messing things up === _Vinnonet is now known as Vinnonet [20:26] i need a squashfs genius here [20:26] prolix: i know, but my uncle is calling me computervirus because i always ruin computers =D [20:26] HollywoodJumper: So, are you starting from scratch or is Vista already on the system? [20:26] right on [20:26] can i see the python script? [20:26] sup guys! [20:26] bobertdos i am starting from scratch all i have right now is ubuntu [20:26] crashsystems: I'm talking about open books or 'copyright ran out' books, such as "War of the Worlds" [20:27] @Joeseph what format are they in? PDF? [20:27] Well, as I was saying , I have a fresh install on a toshiba satellite 2410 that is running about as quickly as a no legged dog. 512mb ram and can't figure out why. Any ideas welcome! [20:27] :) [20:27] HollywoodJumper: then a little advice -- install Vista first or you will want to shoot yourself later. Also, are you installing both to the same hard drive? [20:27] good cmd line torrent program, what u gyz using? :p [20:27] bobertdos i am installing them on the same hard drive [20:27] crashsystems: That's just it... I'd like a program where I can easily get them from several sources and convert them to an easy to read font or type on my computer.... I want to know if such a project exists... and if not.... I may start perliminary works on one. [20:28] what is kwrapper [20:28] crashsystems: But the source I am currently using is wikisource. [20:28] prolix: it's a file called startx-wrapper, it goes like this: http://pastebin.com/m5ada42a9 [20:28] HollywoodJumper: Okay, that's probably better in your case, less prone to Grub errors. But yes, Windows first, trust me on that. [20:28] prolix: the startx-wrapper-file is executing the python-file [20:29] bobertdos i havent installed vista yet i am goin to use ubuntu live cd to change the partition size and format [20:29] @joeseph well, if you are wanting to convert regular text into pdf, OpenOffice can do that, plus I think there are a number of cli conversion utilities. [20:29] or nspluginwrapper [20:29] i give up, i'll just take a few extra seconds to open dragon player. vlc use to be good, but now i just get error messages [20:29] good cmd line torrent program, what u gyz using? :p [20:29] can I upgrade hardy ubuntu to hardy ubuntu server? [20:29] bobertdos when you say vista first what do you mean? [20:29] HollywoodJumper: yup, sounds good [20:29] is nspluginwrapper a part of ndiswrapper [20:29] datavirus: ? [20:29] go -> that way [20:29] crashsystems: For now I'll see if I can get GutenPy [20:30] do you think i should reinstall ubuntu? [20:30] prolix: what? [20:30] HollywoodJumper: I just mean that when you actually get around to installing your operating systems, install Vista before Ubuntu. [20:30] @joeseph do you have a url for that? [20:30] HollywoodJumper, it takes about 20 minutes to install ubuntu, sounds like a quick fix [20:30] hollywoodjumper and you may want to get ahold of the "vista recovery cd" if you dont have an actual vista cd [20:30] datavirus: pardon man, i was lying to make myself look more knowledgeable than i really am. i don't know how to start that script [20:31] crashsystems: http://gutenpy.sourceforge.net/ I haven't installed a .deb in a while.... do they normally give a bit of trouble? [20:31] hardcore, that's not entirely true... [20:31] hollywoodjumper just in case you decide to remove ubuntu later [20:31] prolix: okay... === He1lBound is now known as HellMind [20:31] uaooooooooooo [20:31] hola [20:31] .deb files? I've never had problems with them [20:31] HollywoodJumper: Oh wait, you already have Hardy installed.....Well, in that case, that's okay, just be ready for a little extra footwork after you install Vista. [20:31] you can download vista isos' and other stuff like that for free [20:31] can I upgrade hardy ubuntu to hardy ubuntu server? [20:31] #name [20:31] Does anyone have any answers to my mouse problem in Ubuntu? [20:31] where can i get a 64-bit version of VirtualBox for ubuntu? [20:31] crashsystems: Alright... going through install process now... [20:31] bobertdos so should i remove ubuntu or just reinstall on top of existing partition for ubuntu? [20:32] Looeville, did ya try a different mouse? [20:32] someone knows how to start a python-script in xdm in ubuntu server?

The issue is that usually when Windows gets installed after Ubuntu, the Windows bootloader decides to take over and then you have to reinstall Grub to get Ubuntu back. [20:33] Hey, is there anyone in here familar with Intrepid, with alsa specifically, i'd like to see if i can figure out why intrepid works on the AAO but hardy with the same version of alsa won't [20:33] !treo [20:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about treo [20:33] !hotsync [20:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about hotsync [20:33] hummm [20:33] crashsystems: I haven't really seen their project, but I'd like to be able to read a few old works (some Shakespeare, H.G Wells, maybe a few others) and I don't feel like buying them.

[20:36] HollywoodJumper: Well actually, the only really important part is a single file, which you could easily back up. [20:37] usser, datavirus , if you're massochist but want to try featherlight, try fwm [20:37] matreya6: it's supposed to load the startx-wrapper when i start X, but when i type startx it just shows a black screen [20:37] matreya6, what... i like it :) [20:38] Update Catalog Cache?

[20:49] datavirus, that's strange, probably X didn't get started at all, because it should respond to that keycombo [20:50] tritium: I understand that.

[20:56] tritium, sorry for the confusion [20:56] Hi everyone [20:56] yes it is [20:57] hi ericsome [20:57] hello everyone! i would like to know, if i install ubuntu 6 is there an option to update to the 8? [20:57] heh [20:57] yo yo yo [20:57] matreya6: pressing [Break] didn't work [20:57] Hi Jim whats cooking ? [20:57] aleksandar: why do you want to do that?? [20:57] aleksandar, you'd have to go through hell to upgrade from 6 to 8 [20:57] aleksandar: yes. You can update from one LTS to another [20:57] aleksandar: it doesn't make any sense [20:57] aleksandar: why not just install hardy 8.04 [20:57] amt2: You're probably using the restricted drivers. In a terminal, when you type fglrxinfo, what does it say? [20:57] ? [20:58] coz i cant burn it right now on cd, and i already have 6 [20:58] datavirus, another thing, if you add 2> ~/xerrors than you'll get the error mesage in the file ~/xerrors [20:58] anyone know why i cant play two audio at the same time :-/ [20:58] bobertdos, it says: display: :0.0 screen: 0 [20:58] OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. [20:58] OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series [20:58] OpenGL version string: 2.1.7412 Release [20:58] amt2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:58] matreya6, know what package has alsaconf [20:58] aleksandar: then put it on your usb-stick ;) there are tutorials [20:58] media: none [20:58] aleksandar: it has to be from 6.06 to 8.04. If you try 6.10 to 8.04 it won't work [20:58] hmm [20:59] well why would people ask me to run it then [20:59] matreya6: where can i find ~/xerrors then? [20:59] media, sorry I don't know which package contains that, I'll try ubottu [20:59] can someone help me please, I can't boot into a KDE session because my logon screen isn't at the correct resolution. Any ideas how I can fix it? [20:59] bobertdos, it says: http://paste.ubuntu.com/51374/ [20:59] alsa is a generic sound driver [20:59] i have 6.06 [20:59] Has any body got Zattoo player working on kubuntu if so please tell me how ! [20:59] brandan_: edit xorg.conf so the leftmost screen resolution is the one you want [21:00] you have an internet connection aleksandar, so just download latest version 8.04 [21:00] datavirus, ~/xerrors will be the file that the error messages are written to (~ stands for the homedir of the user you are logged in as) [21:00] how do I get into there? [21:00] amt2: oops, should have told you to pastebin that, sorry. Okay, well, the black screen is usually an X problem, which is why I'm asking all the video questions, but maybe (if you don't care about the visual effects that much) you can try disabling them and seeing if that helps stabilize. [21:00] brandan_, have yoy got low resolution? [21:00] !kubuntu | ericsome [21:00] ericsome: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE [21:00] you'll be glad you did [21:00] matreya6: ah, okay, i see [21:00] aleksandar: you can order a free and original ubuntu cd from canonical, free of any charge [21:00] !alsaconf [21:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about alsaconf [21:00] i told you to use it as a diagnostic tool to find out why your sound wasn't working, but if you say you have it and it's not running, then there's something fishy about that in and of itself [21:00] 'The ALSA sound system is either busy or not present' [21:00] aleksandar: ok. Then you should be able to upgrade to 8.04 (there's always the chance of some problems between upgrades so I recommend backup) [21:00] I have 17 inch screen does 1280 x 1024 native [21:00] any idea why i get this error ? [21:00] where can I save the changes made with xset so that it stays after reboot? [21:00] upgrade takes forever on internet connection [21:00] ok Thanks will try it [21:01] and can cause set up problems, clean install more reliable [21:01] bobertdos, yes i do think it's an X problem, someone who helped me with that made me change some thigns but i dont remember at all. i do care about visual effects so i wouldn't like to just have evyerthing plain [21:01] brandan_, Ok, but if you log in KDE resolution is too lowest? [21:01] how do I edit xorg.conf ? [21:01] is it possible to get knome on kubuntu ? [21:01] so what should i type to put 2 into xerrors? [21:01] ok tnx carandraug [21:01] datavirus, 2> redirects std_error to another file. [21:01] !x > amt2 [21:01] amt2, please see my private message [21:01] i gave the command: 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' to upgrade ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04 but when i looked to the '/etc/lsb-release' the version was still 7.10... so how should i upgrade my distro? [21:01] when I log into KDE its fine, but right now I can't see the button to press to select KDE at my logon screen [21:01] ericsome: if you mean gnome (not knome), yes: install ubuntu-desktop [21:01] matreya6: so what should i do then? [21:02] how do i edit xorg.conf ? [21:02] bobertdos, so should i restrart X with that command? Is that equivalent to doing ctr+alt+backspace? [21:02] How from apt get ? [21:02] hello! [21:03] datavirus, did you get any output in the file? You can also run it like this 1&2>~/xerrors, which will send both std_out and std_error to that file. That should always work [21:03] Quick question, is it possible to limit a process or program so that it only consumes a certain amount of system resources (e.g. ram and CPU)? [21:03] i have several partitions, how do i stop one of them from showing up in computer [21:03] aleksandar: here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades Take a look on how to do from 6.06 to 8.04 and good luck [21:03] matreya6: i don't get it, what should i do? [21:03] Jaffarkelshac: edit its line out in /etc/fstab [21:04] Jaffarkelshac: it wont be mounted at boot [21:04] amt2: yeah, stopping gdm, Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, and Ctrl+Alt+F1 all essentially have the same effect. [21:04] Without using virtualization or anything like that [21:04] datavirus, Do you want to discuss this in a private room? [21:04] anyone? [21:04] matreya6: sure [21:04] that stops it from mounting but it still shows up in computer. for (click to mount) ActionParsnip [21:04] bobertdos, well but i even restarted after the blackcreen... im not sure if that will just fix it permanently [21:04] im not having problems now but i may get the blackscreen at any point === Servarium is now known as kernelpanic [21:05] my evince prints out "cairo context error: NULL pointer" to the terminal i run it from a lot of times, and in my system monitor it claims over 140 MB of memory just for pdf viewing, what could be happening ? === kernelpanic is now known as Servarium [21:06] amt2: You'll probably need to read that wiki entry further to find a permanent solution. Until then, cross your fingers and hope for the best, I guess. [21:06] i gave the command: 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' to upgrade ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04 but when i looked to the '/etc/lsb-release' the version was still 7.10... so how should i upgrade my distro? [21:06] !upgrade > roukoun [21:06] roukoun, please see my private message [21:07] amt2: Also, going back to Firefox, are you using flash 9 with libflashsupport? [21:07] roukoun: ive done it by renaming the distro name in sources.lst but apparently thats no advisable but it worked for me [21:08] ActionParsnip: i'll try it [21:08] bobertdos, i don't know, how can i check? [21:08] Does anyone know what a good gtk to use with C? [21:09] i try to make a app for gnome. [21:09] ? [21:09] hey guys i want on boot to start 2 xrandr commands and then start a program [21:09] how would i go about doing this [21:09] I know Kubuntu has Akregator for RSS feeds, but what Graphical one does Ubuntu have? [21:10] Hey all. I'm not a troll, but asking some advice. I've run bsd servers for years, and finally decided to try linux as my main desktop. I love ubuntu so far, but occasionally want to run fairly newer software, and am willing to handle the fallout. Should I be running Debian sid instead of ubuntu? Other suggestions welcome. [21:10] amt2: Well, go into firefox and type about:plugins. If you find flash 9r_124, (and you know you get sound when you play flash videos), then you have libflashsupport. [21:10] i've been working on this since last night.... and i'm stuck at how to install a "rendering method" such as AIGLX, Xgl or Nvidia.... (regarding intel video card not allowing visual effects) [21:10] compiz-check returns that "rendering method" is "None" [21:11] bobertdos, ok... yes i have it: 'Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124' and i do hear sound if i plyay a video on youtube [21:11] Mr_Fixit: I think you need a 3d card [21:11] it's an intell 965 [21:11] amt2: I know that for some people, libflashsupport has a tendency to destabilize firefox, so that might explain that part of it. [21:11] *laptop [21:12] bobertdos, i took a loook at the wiki, but is my issue really a 'refresh rate ' issue? [21:12] would a refresh rate issue imply i dont see video correclty or something? [21:14] amt2: Well, a refresh rate issue could imply many things, but there's really no good way to know, especially since the problem doesn't happen consistently. [21:14] anyone know how to get encrypted dvd support in 64-bit? [21:15] hi [21:15] whats the difference beweeen 32 and 64 bit in ubuntu? [21:15] kubuntu-desktop, does it install KDE4 or KDE3? [21:15] what will be the default theme in intrepid? [21:15] i don't even know if my system is 64 bit, probably not [21:15] !intrepid [21:15] Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - #ubuntu+1 for discussion | Warning lots of broken software between now and October! [21:15] bobertdos, oh! i just run the 'auto detec script' in the wiki, and that's actually what i did before [21:15] ActionParsnip: in my /etc/apt/sources.list there are only three uncommented lines with the two of them containing only the 'gutsy' which have to be changed to 'hardy' and the first line which have to be be changed from: 'deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016)]/ gutsy main restricted' to 'deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 8.04 _Hardy Heron_ - Release i386 (20071016)]/ hardy main restricted' right? [21:15] i think that fixed the issue for a whiel [21:15] hardcore: run the following command: 'cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep lm' [21:16] hardcore: if you get output from the above command, your CPU is 64bit, if not, then it is not [21:16] so whats the deal with nvidia drivers not working after an update on a fresh system? i don't understand why its not working [21:16] roukoun: are you trying to upgrade with a cd? thats not how to do it, if so [21:16] with or without the commas? [21:16] AstralSin: proprietary? [21:16] yeah [21:16] hardcore: without the quotes :) === mike is now known as Guest19612 [21:16] AstralSin: because you have to recompile the kernel interface (reinstall the driver in recovery mode) [21:17] amt2: Hopefully it will do so again, huh? [21:17] mehhh, it looks like restricted drivers are borked, my sound isn't working either [21:18] AstralSin: I installed nvidia drivers in hardy from nvidia. [21:18] hardcore: do you know what kind of processor you have? [21:18] i prefer letting my package management know about my drivers, especially since ubuntu likes to update the kernel every other day [21:18] i cant seem to run evince without it snatching over 100 megabytes of memory, anybody know why this could be / [21:18] ? [21:19] anyone know how to get encrypted dvd support in 64-bit? [21:19] AstralSin: I installed the CUDA version of the drivers :) [21:19] danbh_intrepid: i'm trying to upgrade via the terminal .... to upgrade it by changing some lines under sources.list was just an idea.... [21:19] bobertdos, can you send me that wiki again? ironically, i just got the black screen again.. now im worried [21:19] slavik, i don't see that vertical like bar on my keyboard, can ya put it some way that i can copy and paste? [21:19] hardcore: it's on the backslash key :) [21:19] +backslash [21:19] roukoun: well, you are changing the source of a cd repo, not an online one. Do you want to upgrade over the net?

[21:21] oh, i have a pentium 4 processor [21:21] i got a 'warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20080927162113' [21:22] Hey guys. Ubuntu has been locking up a lot. I was wondering if it is because I am using 32 bit version. I have dual 64 bit processors (AMD) [21:22] danbh_intrepid: actually my first try was with 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' but the 'lsb_release -a' showed up the failure! [21:22] ubottu, tell hardcore about yourself [21:22] hardcore, please see my private message [21:22] danbh_intrepid: graphical tool? [21:22] ubottu, tell me about yourself [21:22] rsc-_, please see my private message [21:22] Like I cant surf the net with out the browser screwing up. My music play skips. Just locked up now for about a few minute trying to log onto ubuntu IRC room [21:22] roukoun: yeah, that method is unsupported, and has some bugs, thats why its better to use update-manager [21:22] hey i just got ubuntu 8.04 tls desktop installed everything seems to be working fine except the headphone jack (input on the right side of my sony vaio). I've tried two of the methods i found in the forums for fixing this and neither of them worked, any ideas ? [21:23] I have 3gigs of ram and 2 1.9 processors [21:23] I need help setting up color scheme in gnome-terminal [21:23] danbh_intrepid: can you help me with the graphical tool? [21:23] would a pentium 4 processor be 64 bit? [21:23] or if there is a better alternatives I would like to know [21:23] elan: yes. Open up the volume manager. Do you see a headphone entry there? [21:23] hardcore: not necessarily [21:23] I dont know, but this is an AMD turon === GO is now known as Guest57707 [21:23] hardcore: did I give you a command to run? [21:23] turion is 64bit AFAIK [21:24] it said no such file or directory [21:24] carandraug: no and also when i installed kmix to use it there is only an output tab [21:24] no input [21:24] copy/paste the command into a terminal [21:24] hardcore: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && uname -a | pastebinit that will tell us [21:24] elan: kmix? Are you using KDE? [21:24] roukoun: just run update-manager [21:24] I need help setting up color scheme in gnome-terminal [21:24] carandraug: no the forum listed that [21:25] something is wrong [21:25] as a possible fix [21:25] elan: what's your sound card? [21:25] even vim can't use the color scheme [21:25] roukoun: see if that tool can get you going. If it runs into trouble, pastebin the error message [21:25] not sure let me search through sony's site to find the laptop [21:25] Hello. Is anyone free? I have created/used a live image disk for Ubuntu before. But, my friend has a computer that freezes when vista starts and needs to get his data off. So, I burnt him a live image. When the disk is inserted, the menu pops up and I ask it to try Ubuntu without making changes. Well, the ubuntu logo comes up and the progress bar starts but quickly thereafter freezes. I have downloaded and burnt the disk twice. [21:25] give me a minute [21:25] ciao [21:25] this is rediculous, i've never had an issue getting nvidia drivers to work [21:26] bobertdos, funniliy enough, my roommate has the same problem as i do [21:26] does anyone have any suggestions? [21:26] his firefox crashes [21:26] and he gets many 'npviewer' windows [21:26] I just installed nvidia drivers on my friends computer... [21:27] they were JUST working, but a kernel update broke it and it will not fix, i've reinstalled the drivers, reinstalled restricted modules, i don't know what else to do [21:27] AstralSin: are you using -proposed? [21:27] samnsparky: Well, if Ubuntu AND Vista are freezing during boot, I question whether or not it's actually an issue with the image. [21:27] the nvidia driver is even loaded, lists in lsmod [21:27] danbh_intrepid, no [21:27] samnsparky: from what you say, it sounds like hardware problems, you could try memtest [21:27] anyone here know minix? the #minix channel isnt too helpful... I have downloaded and installed the vmware version but now i need to supply login and password. well i never defined one but i stilll need to know one, any idea on how to fix this? === GO is now known as Guest2246 [21:27] danbh_intrepid: is says that 66 packages are going to be removed' .... why is that? [21:27] it says laptop generic on the link i went to [21:27] hello [21:28] Alright. I will try that hold on. [21:28] AstralSin: but which version? I saw that issue recently, and it is a conflict between the nvidia-glx-new and Nvidia packaged kernel module. You'll find a message with the version problem in /var/log/kern.log [21:28] any of you know how to make a startup script to run @ bootup [21:28] Linux robert-laptop 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Aug 20 22:56:21 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux is what it said [21:28] samnsparky: I agree with guntbert. The Live session loads everything into RAM. I kind of suspect you may have a bad stick. [21:28] roukoun: maybe they are outdated. If its the graphical tool, thats good, thats one of the steps [21:28] does that mean 32 or 64? [21:29] hardcore: 32bit [21:29] hardcore: i686 is 32bit [21:29] oh ok, thanks [21:29] whats the alternative GUI network program [21:29] Alright. Well, I shall run the mem test and report back when it has completed. [21:29] the one that you can run from terminal i think [21:29] hardcore: but that's the system. it doesn't mean your p4 isn't 64capable [21:29] whats the difference between i386 and i686? [21:29] samnsparky: bobertdos probably doesn't mean usb-stick though :) [21:30] elan: you can run "lshw" and look for an entry that starts with multimedia [21:30] saschahl, how do i know if it is 64 bit acceptable? [21:30] i mean capable? [21:30] hardcore: thats offtopic, technically, but if you are asking about the kernels, nothing [21:30] hardcore: i386 will run on an 386 processor, i686 probably won't, it's more optimized [21:30] samnsparky: No, guntbert is right, I do not, I mean stick of RAM :) [21:30] yea u can with terminal but im not sure how though [21:30] hardcore: cat /proc/cpuinfo [21:30] ok [21:30] bobertdos: ;-) [21:30] hello everyone [21:32] I'm looking for a visual diff program under ubuntu. Any suggestions? [21:32] clf flush size is 64 [21:32] what am i looking for exactly? [21:33] i did the cat /proc/cpuinfo what am i looking for?

[21:33] anyone know hot to write a startup script to run at bootup bychance [21:33] I have a common problem but no solution yet (evolution) not learning junk! [21:33] cpu family is 15 model is 4 steppingis 1 [21:33] hardcore: You need to know your processor in order to know whether it's 32 or 64-bit. Most of the P4's are 32-bit, I believe. [21:34] barrar76: do you use spamassassin or bogofilter? [21:34] mrrow [21:34] Sup guys [21:34] ciao [21:34] ciao [21:34] bogofilter [21:34] elan: you're still there?

The only time 64-bit is necessary (right now) is if you have 4 gigs of RAM or greater. [21:37] could somebody walk me thrue [21:37] how to open a terminal? is there a shortcut key? [21:37] ?

[21:38] anyone use sdlmame? i have some roms but can't figure out how to play them [21:39] suggestion to fix evolution learning junk?.......

[21:40] i uninstalled evolution once and my system crashed when restarted and i had to reinstall ubuntu all over again. needless to say i never uninstalled it again [21:40] barrar76: Have you ever considered switching to Thunderbird? I like it a lot better. [21:40] gigatropolis: name it Terminal and in the command input write: 'gnome terminal' [21:40] barrar76: bogofilter is installed by default. Configure evolution to use that.

Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [22:13] i used live user to edit my partition to make space for vista to dual boot and now when i use DISKPART it doesnt recognize the new partition that i freed up [22:13] hellrabbit, i don't take PMs [22:13] hellrabbit, please keep the conversation in here [22:13] hi guys [22:14] see this [22:14] http://photos-c.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v331/58/2/652670223/n652670223_4256338_3567.jpg [22:14] what do you want to change?maybe it's easier through system-preferences-mouse [22:14] unop - Why gksudo instead of jusy sduo?

[22:15] !gksudo > hellrabbit [22:15] hellrabbit, please see my private message [22:15] yep [22:15] sudo = text [22:15] gksudo = king [22:15] HollywoodJumper: You cleared space and didn't format it, right? [22:15] qbmaniac, heh, that's not why you use gksudo tho [22:15] bobertdos yes [22:16] i clicked that and laffed hard [22:16] HollywoodJumper: and it's Vista's partitioner that won't recognize it? [22:16] I've installed LAMP using tasksel - what is the "correct" way to make apache2 use ~/public_html instead of /var/www af www-directory? I have no virtual hosts (yet =D) [22:17] Ubottu & unop; when you say "never use sudo", is that specific to graphical file edits or did you mean that as general practice? [22:17] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:17] bobertdos it is the DISKPART program that isnt recognizing the freed space the vista recognizes it but it isnt formatted so vista cant install on it [22:17] hellrabbit: graphical file edits [22:17] Lykkefeen, there is a config in apache for that, search for "apache2 public_html users home " [22:17] HollywoodJumper: and diskpart is part of what? [22:17] * RocknLnX I installed some Gnome extras through synaptic and now my login.logout and some other sounds have been changed.

Or can I get them somewhere and download them [22:17] ty all [22:17] hellrabbit: If you're working in the virtual terminal (Ctrl+alt F2, etc), you want to use sudo. [22:18] Lykkefeen, with that config, apache will use the public_home with localhost/~user/ [22:18] Sorry if I'm repeating myself, but, when I tried to modify the xorg.conf file, I was given the error message that I didn't have the permissions to modify the file. [22:18] hellrabbit, sudo (by default) atleast just elevates your privileges - keeping the environment you were in the same - that can cause problems with processes that write configuration files i.e. they write them to your home directory but with the permissions of root [22:18] GodfatherofEir3: Are you editing it via sudo? [22:18] GodfatherofEir3: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf or gksudo gedit [22:18] bobertdos when i get to the windows setup boot from cd and i enter my product key and select the custom install then it asks me where i want it to install [22:19] Are the ubuntu software repos constantly updated?

No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [22:28] leche, you might be able to get away with most of this by simply launching gnome-settings-daemon (in your ~/.fluxbox/startup) [22:28] does Ubuntu work with the Planar LA1500RTC [22:28] hmm, maybe gnome-settings-daemon [22:29] ah [22:29] you were faster thx unop [22:29] tritium: apt-get source package, right? I'm running amd64 and get some /lib/cpp sanity check failing [22:29] uouou: yes, and you'll also want the build-depends, as well. [22:29] i used the partition editor in the live cd or live user mode to free up space on my disk for another op system so i can dual boot how is that not an ubuntu question? [22:29] I'm having a problem with apt. I have a 'stuck' package and cannot get the error to go away. Install/Remove works find but this package keeps throwing errors. Detailed info is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/51335/ [22:30] ompaul: how will i install the default fonts? [22:30] tritium: I have everything audacity needs, if that's what you mean [22:30] hello how do i install a .sh file ? [22:30] HollywoodJumper, you partition with anything you like, your formatting of it ... well that is a job for your other o/s [22:30] hmm, is there any way to find out what produced a core file? I dont remmeber anything crashing but I have one now [22:30] i tryed but it said that it didnt know what to to open it [22:30] How do I stop a process that "can not be stopped"? //sorry for english [22:31] did a ./configure --with-blah --with-blah, ... and got "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check [22:31] ok, whats up with this error... the system JUST booted, but when i try to open firefox i get the error about firefox already running and it can't open another process... what the hell is that all about? [22:31] uouou: you need every development/library package the the source package depends on to build properly is what I mean. "man apt-get", and read the build-dep section. [22:31] can someone answer my question [22:31] fiyawerx, try your dmesg [22:31] tritium: ahhh. thanks [22:31] chilli0, you don't install it, you run it .. at a terminal. /path/to/file.sh [22:31] uouou: install build-essential, and seek advice in #ubuntu-motu [22:31] ompaul so in order to format a partition in ntfs i would need to ask the ##windows channel? [22:31] hi can anybody help me view my other computer on a wifi network please [22:31] HollywoodJumper, yes [22:31] uouou: Have you done apt-get install build-essential dpkg-dev [22:31] ShadowBelmolve, try sudo kill -9 [the processID you are trying to kill] [22:31] tritium: whats up ;] [22:32] you motherfuckers [22:32] ompaul ok [22:32] is it easy ? [22:32] does anyone knows how to restore the default ubuntu 7.10 fonts after distro upgrade??? [22:32] matreya6, nto work, the process still [22:32] Hello, Spragie. [22:33] ShadowBelmolve, is it a server process, a so-called daemon? [22:33] matreya6, its totem :) [22:33] roukoun, you have rebooted since the upgrade? [22:33] is there anything like the linux mint menu for ubuntu? [22:33] ompaul: yes [22:33] ShadowBelmolve, have you tried "killall totem" ? [22:34] Does anyone know how i can password protect the Places folder on the Menu of ubuntu [22:34] matreya6, yes [22:34] roukoun, did you install the stuff I suggested you can go though Synaptic Package manager and see if it helps you [22:34] which is best vpn or ssh [22:34] hi... I'm using ubuntu hardy and whenever I open vlc it just closes... here's the output I get in the command line when running vlc: http://pastebin.com/m1a05c0e9 [22:34] IntuitiveNipple: I am now [22:34] matreya6, it status is not "sleeping", "zombie" or other, is anything like "impossible to stop", my ubuntu is in portuguese and i not know the correctly word to translate [22:35] ericsome: depends on your needs [22:35] weird that building tools aren't part of the base system :/ [22:35] ericsome, different roles so it depends on what you want to do [22:35] ompaul: you mean the pkgs from the ubotu's links? [22:36] ShadowBelmolve, just send me a PM of the Portuguese message, it might give me some hints and it won't trigger the bots ;-) [22:36] uouou: not at all; most users don't use them or need the bloat [22:36] roukoun, menu: System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager [22:36] two things view my other computer from my laptop and remote control and save items to my desktop when im away [22:36] ompaul: can i pm you? [22:36] finally figured out how to use youplayer [22:37] nobody in the windows channel is even responding to me [22:37] HollywoodJumper, not our problem [22:38] didnt u say there was another chat room for the questions i asked ya earlier? [22:38] problem solved [22:38] Is there a way i can put a password on my drives in the place folder on the menu in ubuntu ?? [22:38] HollywoodJumper: If you are intending installing Windows into the other partition, the Windows installer will format it at the time. [22:38] HollywoodJumper, you tell your windows software in a terminal to fdisk and format and so forth but I don;t use it so can't advise further [22:38] something like #compiz-fusion [22:38] anyone know what package contains the gcc-x86_64-has-stack-protector.sh file? [22:39] Moderndayzero: maybe. What's the question about? [22:39] roukoun, which particular part of that did not make sense? [22:39] unixSnob_: try dpkg-query -S 'gcc-x86_64-has-stack-protector.sh' [22:39] unixSnob_: and if it's not on your system, apt-file can help you find it. [22:39] IntuitiveNipple: thanks, but it comes up empty for me.. my problem is that the file is not found [22:40] Can anyone help me ?? [22:40] My sound suddenly stopped working after a reboot. I tried multiple sound mixers, but none of them played any sound. It is unmuted, from what I can tell. What should I try first? [22:40] roukoun, try this, sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-update (just in case your system did not grab something it should have) [22:40] ompaul: sorry but i didnt unserstand what packages you suggested me to install [22:40] Moderndayzero: yes, you can go to #compiz-fusion to ask questions specific about it. Don't go there asking stuff about ubuntu [22:40] unixSnob_: install apt-file, sudo apt-file update, then apt-file search === Eric is now known as Guest62246 [22:40] tritium: i actually just installed apt-file for this purpose, but running apt-file update is expensive, on my measured rate g3 connection [22:40] !anyone | gd515 [22:40] gd515: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [22:40] i am having issues with flash and java, i sued the add/isntall application ( synaptic) to install all packages, one at a time, as they sdeemed to die of within a week. now though no flash is working can someone please assist me or point me to a interactive live help so i may get this issue resolved. this is important because it hinders my schoolwork, which is due by midnight tonight [22:40] unixSnob_: Then do http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=gcc-x86_64-has-stack-protector.sh&mode=exactfilename&suite=hardy&arch=any [22:40] i feel proud now... [22:41] sued = used* [22:41] I'm assuming I could, as well as ./configure, make, make install... turn the source package back into a .deb ? [22:41] Is there a way i can put a password on my windows drive in the place folder on the menu [22:41] !flash | Orchid` [22:41] Orchid`: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [22:41] !java | Orchid` (and reboot after the flash one iirc) [22:41] Orchid` (and reboot after the flash one iirc): 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 [22:41] uouou: don't use ./configure make [22:41] Orchid`, just type flash in synaptic package manager [22:41] uouou: Edit the configure flags in debian/rules [22:42] IntuitiveNipple: debian/rules? [22:42] uouou: then do fakeroot debian/rules binary (from the source base directory) === Fiz is now known as DigitalFiz [22:42] uouou: If you're building a debian package with alternate configuration [22:42] A full DVD cannot be mounted? - 4.5GB loaded mp3 files DVD cannot be mounted by ubuntu - written using k3b -verified in my DVD player!

[22:43] uouou: debian/rules is a Makefile. Find the build: target and follow through; there will be a line that executes the package's ./configure script with appropriate options [22:43] Ive been suffering machine freezes - at first I suspected the xorg intel drivers, but now I am wondering if it could be gl/compiz. So I disabled compiz and machine freezes, but I wondered if the gl drivers are still loaded ? [22:43] thanks IntuitiveNipple [22:43] IntuitiveNipple: ohhh. yeesh. [22:43] elan: yes. You never answered again [22:43] sorry i got distracted but [22:44] * RocknLnX would someone please email me the login logout .wav files for Ubuntu Hardy please pm meand I will give you my email [22:44] elan: you're still there?

(I mean a movie, that can play on a dvd player) [22:44] k [22:44] uouou: you may need to install the fakeroot package, too [22:45] reportingsjr; how big is the file size? [22:45] bastid_raZor: ~2gb [22:45] is there a solution for using sound in broken apps that try to use alsa device 0,0?

[22:46] bastid_raZor: wha? [22:46] IntuitiveNipple: ok. thanks for your help btw. I've added --with-soundtouch to the debian/rules file.. now I use fakeroot how again? [22:46] carandraug: http://pastebin.com/m7b69a99d [22:46] anyone know how to install a ".bundle"... vmware is in this format and it doesn't appear to be like a .bin and i can't find a tool to extract it [22:46] IntuitiveNipple: reading man fakeroot ... could maybe also just use sudo? [22:46] reportingsjr; you have your explanation, plus you are pirating movies.. which is illegal to discuss here. [22:47] bastid_raZor: I encoded an avi file with devede to the iso, I've tried many things and it still hasn't worked [22:47] bastid_raZor: copying from another dvd?

[22:47] Hi, I installed Ubuntu fromm a USB-drive with the help of Unetbootin, and now the computer will not load Ubuntu unless the USB-drive is inserted. Is this becaus GRUB somehow is missing from the internal HD? [22:47] it was from the ubuntu.com forum [22:47] reportingsjr; oh, i see the avi that won't work either. you need to make an ISO of the movie. straight from the movie disc, not converted into an avi then tried to make an ISO [22:47] one was to install kmix even though you dont have kde [22:48] and then click on the "input" tab.. but i didn't have an input tab [22:48] and the other was to use alsamixer from console [22:48] and put mic2 to mic1 [22:48] but i didn't have those options either [22:48] just MASTER and PCI controls [22:48] !enter | elan [22:48] bastid_raZor: really?

Add the line "options snd-hda-intel model=z71v position_fix=1" at the end of the file [22:50] theCompanion, try Bazaar (bzr) [22:50] theCompanion: or subversion [22:50] theCompanion: you mean 'live' on the site, or just a version-control system? [22:50] wow, thanks guys [22:50] just a version control system [22:50] theCompanion: Or git - the kernel's choice :) [22:51] ahahahahaha [22:51] ok [22:51] done [22:51] theCompanion: Canonical has put a lot of effort into bzr [22:52] theCompanion: Having used them all, I find git does things the best way for my style, not least the way it makes test branches and cherry-picking so easy [22:52] anyone know why libc6 would spit the dummy after an apt-get upgrade on hardy?

I run 32bit on one and 64bit on the other two [22:58] IntuitiveNipple, blueapples: there is #ubuntu-offtopic for such discussion === dm_ is now known as DM| [22:58] blueapples: There is an git-svn importer... maybe one day it'll tempt you :) [22:58] obelix_udine so as far as the cpu goes it will work, you have trouble with other hardware but it has nothing to do with the core 2 duo [22:59] IntuitiveNipple really? hmmmmm. maybe i should look into it again === DM| is now known as Delvien [22:59] Oxygenfa1: "everybody" here will tell you, it won't make a difference, except when you got +4GB RAM [22:59] tritium sorry :-/ [22:59] tritium: discussing the VCS that Ubuntu kernel uses is hardly off-topic!

[23:01] tritium: Yes, and theCompanion asked about a VCS... knowing what other big projects use it will help him make a decision [23:01] obelix_udine do you have an issue with other hardware in you systems or what?r [23:01] anyone use skype ? I'm wondering how to use it in a more alsa friendly way ... right now i have music playing and skype since it's trying to use the card directly can't get access i think [23:01] no i have only a trouble [23:01] IntuitiveNipple: he made his choice long ago, and you were demonstrating your knowledge of git.

[23:10] now lets see if we can fix it so future upgrades don't break [23:10] DeadNed sudo apt-get install alpine [23:11] uouou: join #ubuntu-packaging [23:11] matreya6: it is just a .tar file [23:11] A 4.5GB mp3 files DVD now cannot be mounted by ubuntu :( -This DVD is written using k3b, also verified OK in my DVD player! Any explanation please? [23:11] pls can anyone help me how do i put aytomatix? [23:12] blueapples, would any terminal based mail client work? [23:12] I formatted an entire disk earlier with ext3, how can I add user priviledge to copy things to it without having so sudo cp ? [23:12] DeadNed it should but I must admit I do not have much experience with terminal mail. most of them by default let you access the local mailbox, and if the terminal notified you on your system that you have mail, i would imagine it meant in the local mailbox [23:12] can someone help me troubleshoot a shared folder permissions issue? [23:13] !ask carter [23:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask carter [23:13] !ask | carter [23:13] carter: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [23:13] What is the benefit of a kernel -rt (realtime)? [23:13] how do i put automatix pls? [23:13] blueapples, thanks [23:13] !automatix | patddb [23:13] patddb: Automatix is no longer developed or supported by its creators and is not recommended, supported, or needed by Ubuntu. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubottu WorksForMe » [23:14] !rt | Delvien [23:14] Delvien: The RT kernel is the Ubuntu kernel with a realtime preemption patch applied. It is included in Ubuntu Studio by default. For more information please see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RealTime/ === damien is now known as Damien [23:14] Spragie, Try tar xvf instead === Damien is now known as DamienG [23:14] man i need to turn off part / join messages in LostIRC heh... [23:14] PriceChild i know.. but whats the benefit === DamienG is now known as DamienGray [23:14] matreya6: do you know i could set priviledges for a hd i just formatted earlier to ext3? [23:15] what do i put just to something that put the most imprtant things automatically? [23:15] Sounds silly, but I can't find out how to delete a rewritable DVD. Can anyone help me? [23:15] !fstab | Spragie [23:15] Spragie: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [23:15] I installed Ubuntu 8.04 last night and created a folder /home/carter/share and I added some movies and songs to the share, I get access denied from my vista box. I right clicked the share folder and checked all three check boxes for sharing [23:15] Delvien: from that link, in a click or two i found myself at http://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Frequently_Asked_Questions#What_is_real-time.3F [23:15] matreya6: thnx will check it out [23:15] A 4.5GB mp3 files DVD now cannot be mounted by ubuntu :( -This DVD is written using k3b, also verified OK in my DVD player! Any explanation please? [23:15] !partitions [23:15] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QTParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [23:15] DavidCanarias, try Brasero, or K3b [23:16] and when I add files to the share from the vista box they have a little lock icon on them when viewed on the ubuntu bos [23:16] box* [23:16] cannot unmount volume because the mount point is mounted multiple times? [23:16] matreya6: Thanks I am using K3b, but can't find the option [23:16] I just recently realized fstab = File System table ... not f-stab. [23:16] uouou hahahaha [23:16] !offtopic | blueapples [23:16] blueapples, please see my private message [23:17] haha [23:17] ksbalaji__, whats in 'dmesg' output? [23:17] DavidCanarias, try Tools => Format DVDRW [23:17] matreya6: If you check under tools in K3b there is an option for deleting CD's, but not DVD. [23:17] hardcorelinux, let me see [23:17] hey [23:17] matryea6: You are right there is the option to format DVDRW but is that what I really need?? [23:17] Pricechild i read that part, i guess my question is. I am trying to make an "wine" box for a game, would RT benefit me more? [23:18] floydwilde; what type of dvd are you using +r or -r? [23:18] DavidCanarias, in the top left corner, what do you see as description for your optical burner? [23:18] Delvien: an "wine" box for a game? [23:18] can someone help me set up wireless on my dell vostro 1000? [23:18] i already tried fooling around with it and now my settings are in chaos so i want to figure out how i clean any last attempts i made at setting up my wireless [23:19] PriceChild a WINE box . for a game. [23:19] anyone? [23:19] hardcorelinux, oops! runs a million pages! [23:19] please contact me in a pm if u think u can help me out someone [23:19] Nuro if you have tried to install multiple drivers be sure to blacklist the ones you do not want to use [23:19] DavidCanarias, yes, that will erase (=format) your DVDRW [23:19] !blacklist | Nuro [23:19] Nuro: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [23:19] Nuro: What chipset and what have you done so far? [23:19] um [23:19] can u guys send me this info via pms? [23:19] hard to talk to 3 people at once [23:19] !blacklist > Nuro [23:19] Nuro, please see my private message [23:20] a WINE box . for a game. something like playonlinux? [23:20] ksbalaji__, looking for stuff at the end of 'dmesg' [23:20] cannot unmount volume because the mount point is mounted multiple times? [23:20] Delvien: I don't understand what that means. But I believe applications will take some work to get them taking full advantage of it. [23:20] how do you set up/use xsensors to get the cpu temp [23:20] Nuro I also recommend installing network manager: sudo apt-get install network-manager network-manager-gnome [23:21] sacabonos, try sudo umount [23:21] Nuro it is much easier to use than the built in network tool, provides a left-click menu of wireless networks detected [23:21] PriceChild WINE = Windows emulator ( gives access to the API and DLLs, to run windows applications, and currently has poor performance with some windows games. I was curious if RT would help with this. [23:21] blueapples: network-manager *is* the default network tool [23:21] Delvien, WINE is Wine is not an emulator :) [23:21] Wow, the open source r500 3D support is awesome [23:22] uh [23:22] Jordan_U I'm afraid I'll have to disagree with you since neither of those packages were installed by default on my 8.04 [23:22] hardcorelinux i know. [23:22] ok i need to know how to start my wireless clean [23:22] matreya6: I sent you a private message.... Thanks for your help, I will give it a try. [23:22] Jordan_U unless I messed it up somehow i guess i don't know. the tool wasn't running when i first started [23:22] blueapples: it's supposed to be. [23:22] blueapples: did you not do a standard gnome? [23:22] installed ubuntu 8.04, created a folder /home/carter/share and I get access denied from my vista box [23:22] PrinceChild I installed 8.04 vanilla Ubuntu [23:22] blueapples: well then it will be installed. [23:22] can someone tell me how i can get my original wireless settings on ubuntu? i would just reformat but i dont have the cd [23:22] PrinceChild only network tool i ever saw was the one under Administration [23:23] PrinceChild weird... well nuro i guess i'm wrong and i can't help you lol [23:23] why is there a readlink in /bin and also in /lib/init and the one in /lib/init is much smaller but seems to do the same thing ??? [23:23] what do u mean Bl [23:23] blueapples [23:23] and is this worth posting http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/2792 [23:23] Nuro: system > administration > network [23:23] k [23:23] then what [23:23] Nuro: click the wireless interface, properties, then change it to roaming [23:23] Nuro: unlock if need be [23:23] PrinceChild ugh that is the worse interface. use the networking icon in the tray [23:24] i really do not know how to procede anymore, i am trying to install a software written in c++ and the compiler is complaining about one line of one of the files of the packge. Since the software is not expected to have code mistakes, the problem is in my environment, g++ gives me the error message''wavelet.h:17: error: expected initializer before ‘<’ token'' [23:24] prince it already was [23:24] on roaming [23:25] Nuro: well then that is defaults. [23:25] Nuro please use full nicknames to ensure highlighting works ;) people might miss your messages otherwise, and keep replies on one line if possible [23:25] !tab | Nuro [23:25] Nuro: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [23:25] installed ubuntu 8.04, created a folder /home/carter/share and I get access denied from my vista box [23:26] is ubuntu the windows of linuxes??? [23:26] i fooled around with ndiswrapper and i just found a guide that should help me get my wireless working but since i fooled around with the settings before i think my system is in chaos because when i followed the guide it still didnt get my wireless working [23:27] kind of [23:27] hardcorelinux, I think it could be at http://pastebin.com/d68454aa0 [23:27] carter, check the 'guest access' on that folder and see if you can get in [23:27] maha in only the good ways. [23:27] my wireless on windows works just fine [23:27] maha no. [23:27] ubuntu is probably the most supported linux as well :) [23:27] maha: no, ot really - that was linspire [23:27] lindows [23:27] turtle_: depends on your definition of support [23:27] hardcorelinux, how can I check that? forgive me I'm new to the linux world [23:27] Nuro you may have better luck on the wireless forum at http://ubuntuforums.org/ if no one here ends up helping you [23:28] Nuro not that they won't try ;) [23:28] maha, it *is* a nice distro which aims to be as user-friendly as can be [23:28] matreya6 yes so only in the good ways ;) [23:28] i am exstatic, I installed Ubuntu 64 and Vista 64 on my 320GB HD today [23:28] took about 3 tries [23:28] ksbalaji__, well your DVD drive is not able to read the disc, was it burned on the same drive? [23:28] got my GPU working [23:28] blueapples but there is no "good ways" [23:29] a friend keeps getting timeout errors similar to "hda: timeout waiting for DMA" when trying to install ubuntu from the CD. after a few repititions, the process seems to hang. any ideas? [23:29] blueapples, Well, some hardware doesn't work as it should in Linux, so that would include Ubuntu... [23:29] maha, Ubuntu is the easiest linux distribution to use, it has a great support like this chat, forums, and of course software packages [23:29] Agent_bob I guess. except the "user friendly" (arguably) and (nearly) vast and wide ranging support [23:29] he uses a sata disk [23:29] matreya6 it's so much better than any other distro i've seen out of the box, though you're right, there are a lot of missing drivers in some cases [23:29] !offtopic | blueapples [23:29] blueapples, please see my private message [23:30] frobar= disable dma at livecd-boot [23:30] blueapples or ##windows [23:30] linuxhelp_de: is it likely that the problem will persist after the installation, so that he won't get dma for that disk ever? [23:30] hardcorelinux, or maybe here = http://pastebin.com/m5d725b75 === lucifer_ is now known as MrDudle [23:30] hacked_kernel, matreya6, linxeh, i got it [23:30] Agent_bob i'm not microsoft fan don't get me wrong, i'm a rabid ubuntu user ;) [23:30] anyway I gotta run, see you later gents & ladies [23:30] maha, whats your experience with Linux? [23:31] carter, on the ubuntu side, right on the folder->Sharing options->Guest access [23:31] how can i get gparted to format a partition in ntfs? [23:31] hm, you can enter the bios and make a autoconfig with bios, perhaps something wrong there [23:31] i have been waiting for something like ubuntu to appear [23:31] for a great many years [23:31] hardcorelinux, exactly! burnt on the same drive and checked in my DVD player - even now OK! [23:31] maha, Nice to see you are enjoying it. [23:31] hi, i'm trying to build a local version of gvfs-bin w/ a patch from launchpad. however, when i apt-get sources it, i get don't get the latest patches that're in the repo. (i end up w/ the sources / diff for gvfs_0.2.5-0ubuntu2, but the latest available is ubuntu4) [23:31] i have seen bad sata cables which makes problems [23:32] i try and run nexuiz but as soon as it starts its a black screen and i hear noises anyone know why? [23:32] hardcorelinux, guest access is checked, along with allow other people to write in this folder and share this folder. All check boxes checked [23:32] my experience is knowing suse 7.x hacked_kernel [23:32] raulh, nexuiz requires hardware OpenGL, does your GPU suppport that? [23:32] yea [23:32] yes, it does. [23:32] does anyone know why there is a "readlink" in /bin and also in /lib/init and, the one in /lib/init is much smaller but seems to do the same thing? and, is this worth posting http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/2792 ? [23:33] linuxhelp_de: how do i enter the live-cd boot options, and precisely what parameters should i pass? there seems to be some contradictory advice when i search around using google :/ [23:33] or it could be the read errors from ide cause ide is virtual configured by sata driver inside kernel [23:33] try running nexuiz from a terminal, like nexuiz & and see the error messages [23:33] carter, what happens when you directly access the share ie.. \\server\share? [23:33] matrey [23:33] its black screen i can' [23:33] press F6 and enter ther nodma or dma=off [23:33] t exit out of it [23:33] linuxhelp_de: okay, thanks [23:34] like other keys noapic noacpi for difficult setups [23:34] raulh: But you still have a working X windows? [23:34] carter, also on the Ubuntu box does smb://localhost list your share? [23:34] hi everybody, good nig...whatever [23:34] no matrey it's full scerened [23:34] hardcorelinux, from the vista box I can get into the folders within the share but when I try to play a song or view a picture I get access denied [23:34] i got out of it by spamming fkeys [23:34] raulh, try killall nexuiz [23:35] carter, chmod -R 755 on the the share folder on the ubuntu box [23:35] If all fails you can take a older live-cd of gutsy or 6.10 and make small setup, after this a online dist-upgrade [23:35] matry i got it let me pastebin the output in the terminal [23:35] OK. [23:35] hey all [23:35] often on old hardware the hardy new kernels does not run clean [23:35] Hey ActionParsnip, welcome back! [23:35] hardcorelinux, my doubt is that - ubuntu cannot read a fully written DVD - there was some error message after burning. It works well in DVD player. - K3b thinks DVD can hold upto 4.4GB only [23:35] http://pastebin.com/m5affa5af [23:36] I got in here late [23:36] can someone do me a favour and give me the output of file /usr/lib/libvorbisfile.so.3 [23:36] ksbalaji__, could be [23:36] @ksbalaji_ dual layer? [23:36] hey folks, still can't connect to share files with my mac [23:36] linuxhelp_de 6.10 ? one step distupgrade is supported for 6.6 but not for 6.10 [23:37] 1024x768x32x60hz [23:37] it's said to knwo most fps games dont work above 800*600 [23:37] raulh, "Trying to load library... "libOffscreenGecko.so" "/usr/lib/games/nexuiz/libOffscreenGecko.so" - failed." [23:37] so you can make a stable setup with 7.10 perhaps ans then a dist-upgrade, the advantage is you can use older drivers and kernel which are not at harde [23:37] but how do i change the rez? [23:37] can someone tell me how i can format a partition in NTFS by using Gparted? [23:37] !samba | r_bender [23:37] r_bender: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. Also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212098 [23:37] right click -> format [23:37] hollywood dosn't fdisk work swell too? [23:37] uit [23:37] choose NTFS [23:37] Frak_, nope [23:37] ok, i try to show ways at difficult hardwares [23:37] use the gparted livecd [23:37] it has the ability to format in NTFS [23:38] matrey so what that error mean [23:38] NTFS is not an option in Gparted do i need to update it or something? [23:38] would /dev/sdb1 /media/disk-3 ext3 defaults 1 2 be proper for a fstab entry for a hd I formatted earlier for storage ? [23:38] and how do i use fdisk? [23:38] I think it's a library that has to be installed [23:38] HollywoodJumper: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-97698.html [23:38] dist-upgrade can be made with console (debian-way) with 6.XX [23:38] Hi is google chrome available for ubuntu?

That error means that it cannot load a library that it needs. Normally a program should respond to that by exiting with an appropriate message [23:39] hardcorelinux, So, do I have a bug to report to k3b, kde? [23:39] Chrome is a very unsecure tools [23:39] i recently installed a second sound card, after not getting it to work in the allotted time frame i had to work with, i removed the card and kept with the built in sound chip, now, some programs dont have any sound, what should i be looking at to better troubleshoot this problem? [23:39] ActionParsnip: huhuhu :( [23:39] every key you type is logged to google [23:39] linuxhelp_de: adding nodma to the boot options didn't help :/ [23:39] hardcorelinux, sorry I closed the terminal by accident [23:39] Aaqil: have you used it in windows? its nothing spectacular imho [23:40] is there a way to make 2 programs to use the sound card [23:40] raulh, this line "Initializing Video Mode: fullscreen 1024x768x32x60hz" suggests that there should be windowed mode as well. [23:40] he has one sata disk plugged into the sata1 connector, and another one plugged into sata2 [23:40] hardcorelinux, you were saying chmod something, [23:40] linuxhelp_de yes. but if you try it from 6.10 unless i'm terrably mistaken they expect three three steps, and not one as from 6.6 not that it really matters unless bandwidth matters [23:40] ksbalaji__, sure but before that can you find another ubuntu box preferably an older ubuntu version(Gutsy) and try to read that DVD [23:40] ActionParsnip: i like google, ubuntu, yehba things :( [23:40] ok frobar try no my way take cd of 7.10 [23:40] matrey how do i activate it [23:40] google chrome in ubuntu -> http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/09/05/how-to-install-google-chrome-in-ubuntu-with-wine/ [23:40] if i can't even do anything as soon as the game starts [23:40] Aaqil: have you used it? [23:40] carter, chmod -R 755 [23:40] and after easy setup make an online upgrade [23:40] ActionParsnip: yup [23:40] linuxhelp_de: hmm, must've missed when you mentioned your other way earlier [23:40] Aaqil: its not nearly as usable or configurable as firefox [23:40] Ok [23:40] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5866748#post5866748 [23:41] linuxhelp_de: Chrome is open source, if there were a key logger we would know ( anything you type into the URL bar *is* sent to google for recommendations though ) [23:41] i made a thread going into detail explaining my situation [23:41] can someone take a look at it and help me out [23:41] hardcorelinux, actually my Hardy is an upgrade from Gutsy - Will it be different earlier? [23:41] please pm me if u can [23:41] i am carful with google tools [23:41] glxgears -printfps doesnt work anymore? whats the new command [23:41] ActionParsnip: but fast and clean browser :( hmm i believe ur advices too [23:42] i think some departments are very interested at these data [23:42] ksbalaji__: Thank you someone sent me the entire sound folder [23:42] How complicated is it to compile a kernel-driver ? I need the directory for the kernel-devel/headers please. [23:42] Delvien two dashes ? [23:42] Aaqil: fast and clean, swiftfox is pretty sweet [23:42] Nuro, what kind of wireless card do you have? [23:42] Agent_bob: nope [23:42] not sure off of the top of my head [23:42] give me a sec ill go find out [23:42] ActionParsnip: ok [23:43] RadSurfer: pretty easy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMaintenance [23:43] hardcorelinux, you have given an idea! I have XP (dual boot) to check my writer! thanks now to restart computer - bye! [23:43] Radsurfer = Headers are installed at /usr/src [23:43] anyone know if theres a terminal command to force a program into windowed mode? [23:43] so nothing special about that then? good. [23:43] how to share internet connection DSL from ubuntu to other windows users on the network? [23:43] Delvien ok, but for apps to be posix compliant they need to use two dashes for long options --long_options [23:43] Dell Wireless 1395 802.11g Wi-Fi Internal Card [23:44] is my wireless card [23:44] btw please pm me sakura [23:44] frobar= let me know if you can't setup [23:44] RocknLnX, no problem! enjoy! [23:44] Agent_bob: glxgears only needs 1 dash, all of its other commands needs 1 [23:44] Aaqil: you need to allow ipv4 packet forward in /etc/sysctl.conf [23:44] linuxhelp_de: i only saw the nodma suggestion, which didn't work :/ [23:44] RadSurfer: If the module has an out-of-kernel build Makefile, you should just need to do "make" [23:45] still the same "hda: timeout waiting for DMA" error [23:45] carandraug: how to do those [23:45] ActionParsnip: http://www.linux.com/articles/61334 [23:45] hardcorelinux, ok we're making some progress that allowed me access to the files from the vista box. I'm unable to copy, cut or move those files though. feels like we're close [23:45] yes can be a result of old hardware and new unclean hardy kernel [23:45] Delvien like i said, ok. but it's still not posix compliant, as many gui apps aren't now days. [23:45] i use 7.10 a productive engines not hardy [23:45] Agent_bob: Ahhh, its default now, but i wasnt allowing enough time. [23:46] how would I change my screen brightness from the command line? [23:46] where the heck are you hiding Nautilus browser in the menus???? [23:46] i have seen a lot of bugs at hardy [23:46] Hello all. [23:46] inasmu xrandr ? [23:46] I'm having no luck trying to convert a Video made on a home Camrecorder to mpg format using Acidripper. You can't see the image properly. Any ideas why anyone? [23:46] linuxhelp_de: is the same kernel version used on the live-cd as the one that gets installed? [23:46] RadSurfer: Places :) [23:46] carter, do you have to provide login credential to view the share? [23:46] hardcorelinux, no i don't [23:46] Aaqil: open the file and uncomment the line that allows it. The file is well documented. You'll need to configure the window boxes to use your Ubuntu box as gateway [23:47] frobar initially yes [23:47] no often its a older [23:47] Agent_bob: I thought that was just for screen rotation? [23:47] or better said unstable [23:47] carandraug: where is that file i am new to the ubuntu :-s any terminal command? [23:47] Aaqil: "gkuso gedit /etc/sysctl.conf" [23:48] frobar but your first update will also have a kernel update, [23:48] if someone can please help me get my wireless working it would be much appreciated [23:48] frobar= if you want to setup your friends pcs run them all with a live cd to test the hardware (48hours) after this seems ok you can setup [23:48] you can find my problem here [23:48] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5866748#post5866748 [23:48] bash: gkuso: command not found carandraug [23:48] please contact me via pm! [23:48] Aaqil: I never did it with a windows machine.I only used Linux (I've tried it successul with many other distros) [23:48] Aaqil: sorry, it's gksudo [23:49] carter, changing the 755 to 777 would accomplish it, but it is too dangerous to do so, disable the "guest" access and open the share after you provide some credentials [23:49] Nuro: Can you please pastebin or attatch to that thread the output from "lspci" ? [23:50] anyone work with Backerupper? [23:50] hardcorelinux, how do set it up so it asks for credentials? [23:50] these desktop effects are reason enough to at least dual boot [23:50] inasmu maybe it is... what am i thinking of then if not xrandr ??? [23:50] * Agent_bob goes looking [23:50] carter the permissions on that file or directory are 755 for a reason. Changing permissions to 777 isnt reccomended. [23:51] carter, disabling the guest account should do it [23:51] Agent_bob: I think it might have been XrandR, but my man page for it didn't mention it, someone in #fluxbox suggested xbacklight to me, which seems to use xrandr for something [23:51] carandraug: it opened a text file there i should change value to 1? [23:51] do you know anyone who has adobe indesign [23:51] hardcorelinux, ok, stupid question, it will prompt for my ubuntu creds correct? [23:51] carter, yes [23:51] Yeah bigdogm [23:52] http://www.adobe.com has it for sale. [23:52] Aaqil: no. Just uncomment the line (remove the #) [23:52] anyone familiar with reverse ssh connections? [23:52] hardcorelinux, ok, i'll run upstairs and try it from my vista box now. [23:52] I need it for a class at school [23:52] I've burnt a DVD using AcidRipper in mpg format, but you can't see it properly. Doesanyone know why? [23:52] is this the same server/channel as the Ubuntu Server? [23:52] erat123 there was an article on digg about it the other day. [23:52] Check http://www.digg.com out. [23:52] carandraug: which line pls :D there many ip4 consisting lines [23:53] g3n1u5: yeah, awesome article.. i'm trying to take it a step farther... [23:53] Aaqil: look for something like this "#net.ipv4.ip_forward=1" and just remove the # [23:53] cool erat123 [23:53] Isn't there a place where you can trade software on here [23:53] g3n1u5: i would like to set up a connection that is always active on the server [23:53] Nuro: Can you please pastebin or attatch to that thread the output from "lspci" ? [23:53] Im about to be up at work... trying to get a LDAP server to auth over a VPN tunnel. [23:53] I'd love to hear about it when I get there... if you're goin gto be on for a while. [23:53] g3n1u5: i created a ssh key on both computers, but i have to run the ssh -R 1234:loalhost:22 command every time [23:54] g3n1u5: i want that to run when ubuntu starts [23:54] !vmware [23:54] VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", only for Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers [23:54] inasmu i'm not sure. i remember playing with xrandr and also xvidtune but it may not have been either of them.... sorry. [23:54] carandraug: did it and saved file [23:54] have question [23:54] erat123 create a little bash script and put it in your RC config. [23:54] erat123, you could put that in /etc/rc.local [23:54] Yeah [23:54] BUDO congratuations! [23:55] Im GLAD you have a question. [23:55] does ubuntu support netgear WG111T out of the box [23:55] Thanks for announcing it. [23:55] hardcorelinux: ok, cool, thanks guys. i'll give that a shot. wasnt sure where to put it [23:55] Aaqil: you need to reload those configurations. You can see how to do it in "man sysctl". Or you can just reboot [23:55] BUDO before wasting peoples time in here, why dont you search google. [23:55] hardcorelinux, I seldom use XP - now I am very sad to report this = my XP is very good at reading full DVDs. It was a flick - there were the files. I shall report the bug to k3b anyway :( :( :( [23:55] Alright, i'll be back in about an hour. [23:55] later :) [23:56] carandraug: brb :( thanks :) [23:56] Aaqil: then, you'll also need to configure iptables. What's the interface where the other computer will be connected? [23:56] does ubuntu support netgear WG111T out of the box [23:56] hardcorelinux, ok that worked, kinda. I'm able to play songs and movies off this share but I can't delete or rename folders from the vista box. [23:56] !hardware > BUDO [23:56] BUDO, please see my private message [23:57] in one of the forums it has the command " sudo cfdisk " what is that used for? [23:57] how can I create the kernel and initrd file in an easy way? [23:57] hardcorelinux, when I view the share in ubuntu some folders have lock icons on them [23:57] HellMind heh install the .deb [23:57] I need a kernel and initrd for rxen [23:57] carter, this has to do with permissions/ownership of the account you login as, you should have these folders/file under the same owner as you login [23:57] !sudo cfdisk [23:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about sudo cfdisk [23:58] Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong with VirtualBox? I am getting an error that won't let me use usb? [23:58] failed to access the USB Subsystem [23:58] Could not load the Host USB Proxy Service (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND). The service might not be installed on the host computer. [23:58] hardcorelinux, I only have one account as far as I know. The account was created during the install process [23:58] this is not working; complaining it can not find the basic gcc header files!!! HELP! [23:58] hardcorelinux, I think those folders were created from the vista box while browsing the share [23:59] Is there someone who can maybe PM me to help with compiling a kernel-driver please [23:59] hardcorelinux, inference = linux not able to read fully packed DVDs.? [23:59] I am pretty sure I installed the one with usb support as it is not the OSE [23:59] carter, that is fine, but the files that are there in the share may not belong to that user, just chown -R user:group on that share [23:59] ksbalaji, could be [23:59] Nuro: Try running "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter" and when asked allow it to download the firmware you need, then please remove or blacklist ndiswrapper and reboot
